(Barry) 'Parameter 3 OK.
Strength 4.

'Parameter 4 OK. Strength 5.. .'

- This the one on the blink?
- Yes. Keeps coming and going.

'...until you have rectified this,
Use Parameter 5 as a stand-by.'

Right, thank yoU, Moonbase.
Over and out.

"Priority to Straker, SHADO.

"General McWhirter
looks forward to meeting you. .."

(Explosion)

Commander, what's wrong?

Stop him!

Get after him!

Get me studio security.

Commander Straker!

Well, where did yoU come from?

Nobody's to come throUgh
that door.

Nobody. Understand?

Oh, Mr Straker...

(Man) What the...?!

(Foster) Open the door!
Let us through! Miss Ealand!

OK, Fred . Away yoU go.

Stop that hovercraft!

Mr Straker, was there anything?
Can I help yoU at all?

Action!

(Door slams and clangs)

(Director) What's going on?

What the. .?! Will yoU please
be pUiet? We're shooting.

Right, everyone.
Settle down. Going again.

It all happened so puick,
I never saw him.

There he is! Come on!

(Foster) Commander!
Commander!

Stop that thing.

This way!

Come on!

Ed!

- Said anything at all?
- No, sir. He's stayed like this.

Yes, he's in shock.
Physical and mental.

- BroUght on by what?
- Hard to say,

but whatever it was, his mind's
had to walk away from it.

- Anything you can do for him?
- There is something, yes, bUt...

I don't like to Use it,
except in an emergency.

When SHADO's most vital piece of
manpower becomes homicidal,

it is an emergency.

He came bUrsting out
but he didn't come in.

What do yoU mean? This is
the entrance to SHADO, isn't it?

Yes, sir. But he left to meet
Colonel Lake and didn't come back.

- No, sir. He didn't come this way.
- You're certain?

No, sir. Mr Straker
hasn't been in.

We always log him in and oUt
and he hasn't been anywhere near.

- It doesn't make sense.
- I'm sorry, l ...

I just don't seem to be able
to remember a thing.

You can't remember coming back
with Commander Straker?

I can recall leaving the airport
in Commander Straker's car bUt...

but after that... nothing,
I'm afraid.

Yes, it was a severe blow
to the base of the neck.

Don't I know it.

It caused a specific amnesia,
covering a period of about two hoUrs.

It's not Uncommon.

How Iong Until her memory
comes back? Hours? Days?

Well, it might never come back.

(Buzzer)

- Yeah?
- 'Medical Centre, sir.'

He's regaining conscioUsness.

Do yoU see it.

See it...?

- (Medic) Yes, that's right.
- Right.

Straker's beginning to break throUgh.
We'd better get over there.

Paul. He couldn't have done it.
Ed's not a killer.

Kill! Kill...

Get us...
They're going to get us!

- How dangerous is this drug?
- I told yoU , it's risky.

It could open his mind
or destroy it.

(Straker) Kill...

Get us... (Panting)

Time...

They mUrdered time!

(Straker, distorted)
Time... They murdered time.

(Jackson, distorted)
It could open his mind or destroy it.

(Echoes) I want you to go back
five hours. Five hoUrs.

Where are yoU?

I was in my car.

(Jackson, echoing) Go on.

I'd been to the airport...
to pick up Colonel Lake.

I wanted to brief yoU before
yoU talked to General Henderson.

Well, I knew it wasn't for
my big blue eyes.

Coming back from the Moon
can be disorientating.

Even Moon speeds have
some effect on time.

Here, sir? I see, sir.
Never knew that, sir.

- What's that?
- What?

- Thought l saw something up there.
- Dark roads can be disorientating, too.

There is something up there,
1 5 degrees west... There. See?

- It's Venus.
- Wrong direction.

- Space shot?
- None schedUIed.

- Could be Russian.
- We have their schedule, too.

- Space debris.
- No, wrong pattern.

If it's a weather balloon,
it's drifting against the wind.

It's a U FO. Straker to SHADO Control.
UFO in Earth's atmosphere.

Do yoU read me? Do yoU read me?

- Check the radio Iink.
- How coUId it get past Moonbase?

I don't know.

(BIeep)

The radio's receiving
and transmitting at full strength.

That's absurd.
Why doesn't Control answer?

It's not this end.

(Unearthly whistling)

If they can knock out commUnications,
why not destroy the base?

They may have done just that.

- How long?
- AboUt another ten minutes.

- It's coming this way.
- Harness.

(Straker) It's going overhead.

(Revving engine)

(Tyres spUealing)

Freeze.

(Whistling fades into distance)

Outside it was night, but here.. .
What's happened?

I don't know.

Look at that.

Why doesn't it fall?

I don't believe it.

We mUst be dreaming.

It's unreal. What's happening?

Night into day...

Everything stopped, arrested...

It's Iike a clock that sUddenly...

Come on.

It's Iike a nightmare...

a grotespUe nightmare.

Give me that piece of wood.

Commander?

Come on.
Let's get back to the car.

If these worksheets are right,
this has jUst happened .

BUt why daylight?
It's been dark outside for two hours.

I don't know. BUt there must be
logic in it somewhere.

Come on, let's get down
to Control.

Miss Ealand?

Why haven't Moonbase reacted?
They must know something's wrong,

- they could've had Skydiver here.
- What will yoU do?

Call General Henderson for help.
That thing's still Up there.

If it comes down
before we can get assistance...

(Straker) There mUst be someone
we can contact.

It's no Use.

If we could jUst Understand
the principle they've Used.

There's no pulse.

- Body temperatUre's normal.
- Yet they're fixed, Iike statUes.

It's almost as though
they'd been frozen in time.

That's it. Whatever they were doing
was fossilized when the force strUck.

Yet the Iift from your office
was working.

Yes, I know.
Doesn't fit the pattern.

This isn't frozen.

- They have one thing in common.
- They weren't in motion.

Yes, they weren't moving in time.
That's why the elevator works.

Then if we can find a monitor
that wasn't switched on...

No, they were all switched on.

There's got to be an answer.
We just have to think it throUgh.

I don't. . . seem to be able to. ..
think any more.

God , I feel so tired.

I feel as though
I could sleep for a week.

Yes, I know. It must be shock
catching up with Us.

Wait a minute.

Let me see your watch.

Our watches
must have stopped...

the minUte we got to the stUdio.

(Straker) JUst Iike the clock.

Beginning. .. to get to us.

Yes.. . I can feel it.

Medical Centre...

The only way...

they could get past Moonbase...

travel. .. so fast...

cheat time.

Sound barrier...

Heat barrier...

Light barrier...

Time barrier...

They can control it...

but only for so Iong...

Until the field force.. .
they built up...

on the way here. ..
begins to wear off...

(AIertly) like the waves of pressUre
yoU see in front of an aeroplane.

That's why. ..
they haven't landed yet.

They're still...
in a different continuUm.

Yes. They obviously
have to shed the field force

before they can operate here.

BUt, why... how are they
reaching us?

I don't know. Maybe we'II find oUt
back in the Control Room .

Are yoU OK?

Fine.

Come on, let's go.

- What is that stuff?
- x5O.

Speeds you Up to ten times normal -
heart, muscles, brain, coordination.

They Used it in high-G test flights,
then banned it.

- Why?
- It burned people out.

Normally, we'd be moving so fast,
we'd just be a blUr.

BUt the room is Iead-lined ,
Colonel.

BUilt to resist
any known force field.

- Commander.
- What is it?

Down the corridor.
I saw something move.

(Man on PA) 'AII right, Straker.

'Come and get me, big man!'

Transistor microphone.
Somewhere over there to the right.

'YoU've got to get me, Straker.

'I'm the only one who can help yoU .

'I'm the only one
who can pUt it right.'

He's behind that wall.

You stay here. now,
cover me.

(GUnfire)

(Laughter) 'No, it's not that
easy, big man.

'Things always come easy for yoU,
don't they, Straker?

'Not this time. not me.'

He's around the corner,
by the covered way to J and K block.

Over here.

Now, stay behind that wall.

(Laughing)

(GUnfire)

(Continues laughing)

- Where'd he go?
- He's on one of the soUnd stages.

'YoU've heard of silent films,
haven't you, Mr Big?

'Well, this is the new bag.

'Non-moving movies.

'Kind of restful, isn't it?

'Yes, this is the place, Mr Big.

'Yes, sir, I is here
if you can but find me.'

Take the other exit.
We'II cUt him off.

Where'd he go?

(Machine clicking)

'YoU don't Iook so big now,
Commander.

'Don't you know me yet?

'I'm TUrner,
Radar Operator, CIass One.

'I know you, Commander.

'The big man.
In charge of the world.'

(Laughter)

'Big Deal Straker.

'The gUy the girls admire.

'Yeah, well, I'm the big deal now.

'They promised me, and
you're nothing, Straker. YoU're...

'Wrong again, Straker.'

(Starts engine)

He got a good start.

Go for the tyres.

(Sings) "Hiders, seekers

"Finders, keepers

"Where are you going to find me?
Where are you going to find me?"

'YoU're it, Straker. YoU are tag.

'They're coming soon, Straker.

'As soon as they've broUght
their power down.

'They'll be here soon.

'And you're not going to spoil it.

'Oh! They're marvelloUs, Straker.

'They're brilliant!

'They can do things
we can't even conceive.'

(TUrner laughs)

'Have yoU any idea what they've
done here, Straker?

'They've taken a millionth of
a second of oUr time and frozen it.

'This is taking place in a millionth
of a second, Straker.

'That's why Moonbase
doesn't know anything's wrong.

'Compared to them, we're midgets,
Straker. AII of us.

'YoU're no match for me,
big man.

'YoU're not on my Ievel.'

(Laughing)

'Don't you understand, Straker?

'Hasn't it soaked into
that blond skUII of yours yet?

'I'm oUtside of time, Straker.

'I am oUtside of time!'

(Laughing maniacally)

What's he mean "outside of time"?

Well, time has stopped in here,
we know that,

but the aliens have given
him immUnity in retUrn for his help.

He's independent of time?
He can move however he pleases?

- Yes.
- That's why we can't pin him down.

How are we going to
find him?

Well, we've gotta try.
Trying is all we've got.

(Straker) Let's go.

They may be years ahead of us
but we've one thing they haven't.

Bloody-mindedness.
It built this planet.

(TUrner) 'Oh, well done,
big man!

'YoU've foUnd where I am.

'Come on, then.

'I'm waiting for yoU.

'And your lovely Iady.'

(Laughing)

'It's all right, Straker.
I don't intend to kill you.

'YoU see, in the new order,
I am going to be boss

'I think you might be rather Useful
for making the tea.

'I'm going to be boss, Straker.

'They promised me that
in return for my help.'

- YoU can't handle it.
- 'l can handle it.'

No, yoU're small-time.
You haven't got the horsepower.

'I've got more than l need
to fix yoU .'

No, come on. It takes guts
and brains to be the boss.

'Listen, yoU primitive idiot.

'How do yoU think they're
transmitting their power?

'BecaUse I fixed a piece of
epUipment in the Control Room,

'so it coUId act as an aerial,
a piece of SHADO epuipment, Straker.'

I don't believe you.
What piece of epUipment?

(Chuckles) 'YoU must think
I'm as stupid as you are.'

(Laughing)

I didn't say anything aboUt
not killing yoU.

'It's not that easy, Straker.'

(Laughs maniacally)

Look.

(Unearthly whistling)

Slowing down...

DrUgs. .. Hypodermic...

Used too mUch energy...

- What will another shot do to you?
- Doesn't matter...

Quick...

(AIertly) The Molly.
It's our Iast chance.

ShoUIdn't l have another shot?

- It was dangerous, wasn't it?
- I made my choice long ago.

Take that key.

PUt it in there.

Hang on to this.

You've kept very quiet
about this.

It's that old bloody-mindedness.

- Can yoU hold on?
- Shall I get another one of these?

No. There's no point.
We won't get a second chance.

We miss with this first one,
they'II fry Us.

- What's their range?
- We have to wait till they're close.

Turner, don't be a fool!
Give me that key!

- They don't need you now!
- (Laughs)

(GUnfire)

(Clicks)

Turner, listen to me!

Big man!

(Laughs)

I think I'll just play that back.

I think I'll just play that back.

(Laughs maniacally)

It's a shame. I can do it all again,
but l can't change anything.

(Laughs)

(Unearthly whistling)

That should slow yoU up,
big man!

You're too Iate, Straker.

Give me the key, TUrner.

Come and get it, Commander.

(GUnfire)

(Laughs)

You're out of yoUr IeagUe, Straker.

The nearer they come, the more
power they transmit to me.

I can play time Iike a trUmpet now.

(Laughs)

You primitive idiot.

You can only see me
where I've just been,

or where I'm going to be,
not where I am...

Unless I want you to.

You're licked , Straker.

(Metal clinks on pavement)

Commander, what's wrong?

Stop him!

It's all right, Commander.
It's all right.

Now, try.. . try and rest.

- Incredible.
- Yes but there are more things.

- But how?
- I'm not sure, but...

in some way, they were able to
expand a moment in time.

Commander Straker experienced
such an extended moment.
