1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,760
Alone in a room, 100,000 miles from Earth, my body lay dead before me, and yet I spoke

2
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,120
and felt and lived.

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:23,400
Behind me lay a tortured world, before me the moon and destiny.

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Again I felt a surge of power, and had I been able to, I would have smiled.

5
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,960
My mission was accomplished.

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,920
No one knew, no one understood.

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,680
If they had, they would not believe.

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,160
This was a project 3,000 years old, yet no one had guessed.

9
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,720
No one.

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,720
Listen now to 2000 plus.

11
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:13,480
Adventures into the world of tomorrow.

12
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:26,280
Science fiction stories from the years beyond 2000 AD.

13
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:38,040
Today a story entitled, The Flying Saucers.

14
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,600
It is the year 2000 plus 12.

15
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,040
A blazing New Mexico sun shines down upon a great military installation, upon a vast

16
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,320
noisy field, and upon a silvery shape which seems to strain forward, ready to leap up

17
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,160
into space.

18
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,200
In an executive office, a man sits in his chair, his eyes on the great rocket.

19
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Behind him a girl waits for him to speak.

20
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Better close that window, Eileen.

21
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,480
The noise won't let a man think.

22
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Yes, sir.

23
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Ah, that's better.

24
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,360
I'm ready, Dr. Bronson.

25
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,360
Get this on tape as well as in shorthand.

26
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,600
It's for the permanent files in Washington.

27
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280
It's got to go out in the next jet.

28
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,680
I'll give you a sign, Chief of Stationery.

29
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Send it off to make the five o'clock connection.

30
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,680
You got that?

31
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Yes, sir.

32
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,680
Record her on.

33
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,640
The letter to be transcribed over your signature and sent off on the five o'clock connecting

34
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:36,640
plane.

35
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:37,640
Right.

36
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:42,120
Heading, top secret.

37
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,320
To National Scientific Council.

38
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,760
To Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of Defense, the President.

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,920
Brom Andrew Bronson.

40
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:57,160
Forget the usual string of title, Eileen.

41
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Chief Department of Extraterrestrial Research, White Sands, New Mexico.

42
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:13,880
Regarding defense measures against aerial visitors listed in file AA-286 as flying sources.

43
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,880
One.

44
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:24,400
For the past three months, this secret experimental installation has been visited by flying sources.

45
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,000
First appearance coincided with the launching of our secret flying missile, Zeus.

46
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Details and reports CB-286, A, B, and C.

47
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,720
Two.

48
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Although the flying sources have never landed, the frequency of their visits has tripled.

49
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Since the launching.

50
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,720
As reported in the file cited, Zeus has not yet returned.

51
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Three.

52
00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:01,000
In view of the importance to national security of this secret installation and its experiments,

53
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:09,120
the reports already mentioned were reviewed by JCS and the National Scientific Council.

54
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:17,400
It has decided that the flying sources were a potential menace and that countermeasures be undertaken.

55
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Four.

56
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:28,040
Zeus II, an improved model of our secret flying missile, has been completed and armed.

57
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,080
It is equipped with mass attraction and proximity fuse devices.

58
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Warhead contains 5,000 pounds hexanite.

59
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Firing control automatic.

60
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,160
C, file CB-344.

61
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,160
Five.

62
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,840
The station has been placed in condition alert.

63
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,760
Next visit from the flying sources is expected momentarily.

64
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,280
In view of the foregoing, we are in complete readiness.

65
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:01,680
We will attack.

66
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Repeat.

67
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,600
We will attack.

68
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Where's my pen?

69
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Andrew.

70
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,560
This one doesn't work.

71
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,560
I'll get it.

72
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,560
I saw your pen and your vest.

73
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,560
Don't touch that vest.

74
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,560
I'll get it myself.

75
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Did I do something wrong?

76
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,560
No, no, no.

77
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,560
There.

78
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,560
Well, you might have been hurt.

79
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,560
Hurt?

80
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,560
I don't have one.

81
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560
There you are, my signature.

82
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Now, on your way.

83
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Andrew, why can't I stay?

84
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,560
You know the orders, Eileen.

85
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,560
We're going to test Zeus, too.

86
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,560
You know anything that happened.

87
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Maybe the flying sources will come back if they do.

88
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,560
We'll be ready for them.

89
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,560
Besides, if the rubbish should go wrong, the hexanite detonate.

90
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,560
No, no, no.

91
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,560
On your way now.

92
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,560
The jet cars waiting downstairs.

93
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Very well.

94
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,560
But you will be careful, won't you?

95
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Of course.

96
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,560
Eileen.

97
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,560
Yes?

98
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,560
I've never told you.

99
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,560
Yes?

100
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Never mind.

101
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,560
Au revoir, my dear.

102
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Au revoir, my darling.

103
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,560
Dr. Bronson to security. Come in, security.

104
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Security, hi.

105
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Has Ms. Hartnitz found in yet?

106
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,560
No, sir.

107
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,560
Well, that's funny. I expected it to after sending off the latest reports.

108
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,560
She should be home now, are you sure?

109
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Yes, sir.

110
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,560
Something must have happened to her. Send a security officer to check.

111
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,560
What about the setup for the new test?

112
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,560
All right, sir.

113
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Oh, that's good. I hope nothing happens.

114
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,560
Any report of flying sources?

115
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,560
No, sir, not yet.

116
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,560
But, sir, there's something funny about that.

117
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Every time we get ready for a test, even one of the minor missiles,

118
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,560
one of the saucers appears.

119
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,560
That's too much of a coincidence for comfort, sir.

120
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,560
Yes, I thought of that, too. You think there's a leak somewhere?

121
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,560
Yes, we've checked and rechecked.

122
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Nothing.

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,560
But there's no doubt that someone's passing out information.

124
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,560
I see.

125
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Of course, we'll keep on checking. Whoever is responsible for Dr. Bronson.

126
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,560
Radar control to Dr. Bronson.

127
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,560
Bronson here, what is it?

128
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,560
Flying saucer detected and registered.

129
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,560
Computations and effect data, data follows.

130
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,560
Distance, 486 miles.

131
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Height, 50.2 miles.

132
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,560
Speed, 5 miles per second.

133
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,560
Estimated time of arrival at contact point, 1 minute, 58 seconds from now.

134
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,560
1, 58, right. Let fire control.

135
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,560
Fire control alerted, sir.

136
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,560
But when may we expect you...

137
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560
In 30 seconds, over and off.

138
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,560
Are you still on security?

139
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Aye, sir.

140
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Clear the field.

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Field already clear. I've just had emergency red signal.

142
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560
We're waiting in control, sir.

143
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Very well. I'm coming down right now.

144
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Over and off.

145
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:25,560
Let me have my headset and hand mic scutting.

146
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Yes, sir.

147
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Thank you.

148
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,560
Bronson to fire control.

149
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Fire control to Bronson. Everything ready, handshift.

150
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,560
Dolly's cleared from Zeus to warhead arms.

151
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:37,560
Well done. Bronson to computation.

152
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:38,560
Computation.

153
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,560
Your figures checked through cybernetics.

154
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:45,560
Yes, sir. As reported, Zeus 2 should destroy flying saucer six seconds after blast off.

155
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:49,560
Firing time, 2,200, 33 hours, 36 seconds.

156
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:54,560
Time check, everyone. Time is now 32 seconds to blast off.

157
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:55,560
Condition red.

158
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,560
I shall operate fire control remote.

159
00:08:57,560 --> 00:08:59,560
Strap in for firing.

160
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,560
Security.

161
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:02,560
Security, aye.

162
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:03,560
Report.

163
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:05,560
Field clear. Guards alerted and shielded.

164
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,560
Anti-radiation up. Warhead arms.

165
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,560
Zeus 2 ready. Any further?

166
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:10,560
10 seconds.

167
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:24,560
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

168
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:26,560
Fire.

169
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:37,560
Get a bearing on that trajectory computation.

170
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,560
Conjectory established and being ready, Mac.

171
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,560
Conjectory correct, sir. Parabolic sound infectious receiving.

172
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:58,560
Contact 2,200, 33, 42, run and alert.

173
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:01,560
Good work, everyone. Security.

174
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:03,560
Condition green.

175
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:08,560
Well, boys, now to wait till someone phones in where the pieces fell.

176
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,560
Then maybe we'll be finally knowing what the flying sources are.

177
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:33,560
Yes, Scotty. A security located.

178
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,560
Yes, sir, not yet.

179
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:37,560
Captain McDonald is here, sir. He has a man with him.

180
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:39,560
Says you should see him immediately.

181
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:46,560
Ah, well, all right. Bring him in.

182
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:48,560
Yes, what is it?

183
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,560
McDonald thought you'd like to hear this, sir.

184
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,560
This is Al Waters, a rancher from upstate.

185
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,560
He flew down from his ranch this morning and reported to the state police.

186
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:56,560
They sent a dozer.

187
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:57,560
The saucer?

188
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:58,560
Yes, sir.

189
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:00,560
Where is it, Mr. Waters? The wreck.

190
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,560
Rack. I didn't see no wreck, Doug.

191
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:03,560
What did you see?

192
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,560
I seen a flying saucer come down about half a mile from a ranch house.

193
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,560
Start this morning when I was going after a lost calf.

194
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:11,560
He swears the saucer's undamaged, Dr. Branson.

195
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:12,560
Huh.

196
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,560
Well, it may not be the one we...

197
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,560
You flew down, Mr. Waters?

198
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,560
Yeah, got my own jet plane.

199
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,560
Well, can you take me up with you to your ranch, I mean?

200
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,560
Sure, care. I'm glad to.

201
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:23,560
All right, we'll leave immediately.

202
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,560
Scotty, you round up the crew, everyone.

203
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,560
Have them load everything we need on the chance for us to big job.

204
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:28,560
Uh, one can't expect you.

205
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,560
Oh, give us two hours, sir. All right.

206
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,560
Now, Mr. Waters, let's get to your ranch.

207
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,560
There's the flying saucer, Doug.

208
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:50,560
Where?

209
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,560
See them two peaks? That plateau between them, you see it?

210
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,560
There, now the sun's heated.

211
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,560
It is undamaged.

212
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,560
I'm putting her down.

213
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,560
Did you see any signs of life, anything moving?

214
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,560
No, sir. Of course, I didn't get too close.

215
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,560
I might lary the thing.

216
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,560
I understand. It's just as well you didn't.

217
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:10,560
Hey, wait until she stops rolling, Doug.

218
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,560
You're all excited, ain't you?

219
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:15,560
I'm afraid so, even scientists get excited sometimes.

220
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,560
There.

221
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:24,560
Sure is big, ain't you?

222
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:27,560
Yes, must be over 300 feet in diameter.

223
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:28,560
Now, there's an alley.

224
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,560
Hey, you ain't going in.

225
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,560
Was that, uh, round door open when you first saw this?

226
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:34,560
I don't know. I don't remember.

227
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,560
If you're going in, Doug, I'm going with you.

228
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,560
Well, thank you.

229
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,560
You'll be safer there, too, of us. You ain't got a gun?

230
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,560
Uh, no. I'm glad I got mine, then.

231
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,560
Never can tell what you'll bump into.

232
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,560
Don't you think you ought to wait for the rest of your game?

233
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,560
I can't. I've got to see what's in there.

234
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:52,560
Okay. Watch your head.

235
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:53,560
Right.

236
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,560
In the door is still closed. Let's open the lobin.

237
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,560
Not well.

238
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:03,560
Look at that.

239
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,560
Sure looks complicated, don't it?

240
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,560
This must be the control room.

241
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:10,560
I can't wait to inspect that another door over there.

242
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,560
Yes. You'd better stay here. Don't touch anything.

243
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,560
I'll see if there's anyone still aboard.

244
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:17,560
Okay, Doug. I'll keep your eyes open.

245
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,560
A larger room. This must be the cruise quarters.

246
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,560
There's no one here. Let's...

247
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,560
What's that?

248
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,560
I'll get it for a second.

249
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,560
I'll take a look through.

250
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,560
Irene.

251
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,560
Irene, wake up. Wake up.

252
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:38,560
I'm not going to touch anything.

253
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,560
I'm not going to touch anything.

254
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:42,560
I'm not going to touch anything.

255
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,560
I'm not going to touch anything.

256
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,560
Irene, wake up. Wake up.

257
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:48,560
I'm conscious.

258
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,560
Irene.

259
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,560
Still unconscious. How did she get here?

260
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:55,560
I've got to get back there.

261
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,560
What... What is...

262
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,560
What are you doing in that control board?

263
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:05,560
If you look through the porthole, Dr. Bronson,

264
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:09,560
you'll notice that we're miles up and still accelerating.

265
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:13,560
We would have been higher if I hadn't to take such care with my takeoff.

266
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,560
What is you crazy?

267
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,560
Who are you?

268
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,560
Or are you taking me?

269
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,560
Us.

270
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,560
You were right when you guessed that this is not the saucer you destroyed.

271
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,560
It isn't.

272
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,560
You were wrong when you said there was no crew on board.

273
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,560
There is.

274
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560
You see, I am the crew.

275
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,560
You should consider yourself very fortunate, Dr. Bronson.

276
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,560
It's not everyone who can view the Earth from a distance of 100,000 miles.

277
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,560
You've been put that gun away.

278
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,560
Let me take care of Miss Hartness.

279
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,560
I've already assured you there's nothing wrong with her.

280
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,560
Merely an advanced soporific.

281
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,560
She'll recover quickly.

282
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,560
Act here she is now.

283
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,560
Irene, stay where you are. He has it done.

284
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Where are we? How did I get here?

285
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,560
I think you'd better sit down, Miss Hartness.

286
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,560
Who's he?

287
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,560
I don't know. He calls himself Waters.

288
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Where are we? I looked out of a porthole.

289
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Don't be frightened, Irene. We're on a flying saucer.

290
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,560
A flying saucer?

291
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Yes. How did you get here?

292
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,560
I don't know. I sent off the road.

293
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Got into the car and woke up here.

294
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,560
One of my operatives.

295
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,560
I shall now engage the automatic controls and the ship will fly itself until we get to the moon.

296
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,560
The moon?

297
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Yes, that is our first stop.

298
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,560
You see, first of this saucer is it would take a centuries to get to our ultimate destination.

299
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,560
So we must transfer to a matter converter at our base on the moon

300
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,560
and we shall be in core almost instantly.

301
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Core? What are you talking about?

302
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Perhaps a little explanation is due you.

303
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,560
We core are the inhabitants of the solar system you know as Rigel.

304
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,560
But that's 500 light years away.

305
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,560
Exactly.

306
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:21,560
Although the speed of what you earthmen have been pleased to call our flying saucers is approximately that of light,

307
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,560
even that speed would entail a round trip of the thousands of miles.

308
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:33,560
True, the core are almost immortal, but for efficiency's sake we set up a matter converter to flash us,

309
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,560
or rather I should say our operatives, through space, instantaneously.

310
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,560
Our base is on the dock side of the moon.

311
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
From there we can't shift to the saucers.

312
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,560
But why?

313
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,560
Why are you so interested in earth?

314
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Why haven't you let us know?

315
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,560
Sent representatives to the world count...

316
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,560
One thing at a time, Dr. Browson.

317
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,560
I see you partake of your pulp writer's suspicions that we intend to take over the earth.

318
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,560
The truth is just the opposite.

319
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,560
We want earth left strictly alone for our research.

320
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560
How can we believe that?

321
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,560
The truth is self-explanatory.

322
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,560
We've been visiting the earth for over 3,000 years.

323
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,560
3,000 years?

324
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,560
Yes, Ms. Hartness.

325
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,560
But why?

326
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,560
For what reason?

327
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,560
A very simple reason.

328
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Our interests differ from yours.

329
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Without research we become bored.

330
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,560
To spend eternity in boredom?

331
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,560
Well, we are primarily psychologists, social psychologists.

332
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:43,560
While you were engrossed in a mechanical civilization, of course we fostered that development.

333
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,560
I still don't understand it.

334
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,560
I didn't expect you to understand it.

335
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:53,560
However, in every society there are certain problems, shall I say, which can only be solved experimentally.

336
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,560
We have used you humans in our experiments.

337
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560
It's been extremely interesting.

338
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:04,560
You mean you've been using us as guinea pigs as experimental animals?

339
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,560
Do I put it that way, too?

340
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,560
I still don't see how.

341
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,560
Through our operatives.

342
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,560
That's the third time you've mentioned operatives.

343
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,560
What do you mean?

344
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,560
We call them operatives.

345
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,560
We core possess nobody, as you know it.

346
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,560
We are constructed of energy.

347
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:27,560
In order for us to visit Earth it was necessary for us to construct human bodies and to inhabit them.

348
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,560
We, thereupon, had an operative who could go to work on Earth.

349
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,560
You couldn't have gotten away with it.

350
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,560
Someone must have suspected you.

351
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Exactly.

352
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,560
There were a few suspiciously.

353
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:43,560
So we took the memory of life on core away from our operatives and landed them on Earth, complete with an Earth history.

354
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,560
You may remember Alexander.

355
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,560
Alexander the Great.

356
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,560
He was one of our operatives.

357
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,560
And François Villon.

358
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:56,560
His task was to satirize his time and to lead the unrest which brought on the French Revolution.

359
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560
There we had another Marat.

360
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Villon Marat.

361
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,560
It's incredible, I'm sure.

362
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,560
As one of your Earth men, Emerson said,

363
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,560
an institution is the length and shadow of one man.

364
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:15,560
We sought to it that the key men in each age were our operatives.

365
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,560
The problems they set Earth gave our scientists much material to work with.

366
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,560
Enough for another few thousand years.

367
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:29,560
Then our inventions, our scientific advances were pushed on by you?

368
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,560
Yes, like giving an ape a stick to see what he will do with it.

369
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Then our wars are revolution?

370
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,560
Naturally wars and revolutions are part of the research.

371
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560
They're all part of the master plan.

372
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,560
But don't forget, we foster genius too.

373
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,560
Why are you telling us all this?

374
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Surely that must be clearly due to you.

375
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,560
You are perhaps the leading scientist in America.

376
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:03,560
Certainly the leading figure in the use of atomic power for extraterrestrial research, a key man.

377
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,560
Doesn't that suggest something to you?

378
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,560
No.

379
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,560
I can't believe it.

380
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,560
Certainly, my dear Bronson, you are one of our operatives.

381
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:21,560
You've done your work, but your experiments have endangered our base on the moon.

382
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560
So it's time to transport you back to CORE.

383
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,560
The signal, we are approaching our base.

384
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:35,560
It will be a comfort to leave this unpleasant body and to resume my right path.

385
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560
Bronson, put down that hand.

386
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,560
Here, here put this handchip over your nose, I'll eat.

387
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,560
The gas will clear away in a moment.

388
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,560
I think it's all right now.

389
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,560
The full force was directed at this core.

390
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560
What was it?

391
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:10,560
I had a gas pen in my vest, an idea which was originated after some of our scientists were kidnapped by the Eastern Alliance.

392
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,560
I never thought I'd have to use it on something like this.

393
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Did he? Did he hit you?

394
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,560
No, no, I'm merely unconscious for a few minutes. The gas is harmless.

395
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,560
See if we can find something to put around his hands and feet while I see if I can operate the controls.

396
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,560
We've got to get back to Earth.

397
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,560
All right, Andrew.

398
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,560
They won't believe our story, but they'll have to believe this ship.

399
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,560
I can't find anything to use.

400
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,560
You'd better hurry.

401
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,560
All right, I...

402
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,560
Andrew.

403
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,560
What is it? We haven't much time...

404
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,560
I thought you said the gas was harmless.

405
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Of course it is.

406
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,560
But this man isn't unconscious, he's dead.

407
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,560
Dead?

408
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,560
There's no pulse, no breathing, no heartbeat, and room.

409
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,560
Now get hold of yourself.

410
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,560
I don't know how that...

411
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,560
There was his life for hours, I'm in now.

412
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:01,560
I neglected to inform you that the core of the upper grades can leave his body as he pleases.

413
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,560
I see that I underestimated you, Dr. Bronson.

414
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:11,560
You saw immediately that my weakest point was the human body of which I complained.

415
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Very clever.

416
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,560
I...

417
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,560
I... I can't move.

418
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,560
I need no futile arms and hands in this form.

419
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,560
A core carries power, for a core is power.

420
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,560
I... I take it you will read us some of our bodies too.

421
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Precisely.

422
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,560
Isn't there anything...

423
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,560
If it comes to the dead, you can make us forget.

424
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Unfortunately the matter is out of my hands.

425
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,560
My orders were to recall two operatives.

426
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,560
Two?

427
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,560
Yes.

428
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:52,560
Miss Hartness was a psychometrist in her previous, shall I call it, incarnation.

429
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,560
An excellent one too, Draga, for Eileen as you're now called.

430
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
But this is inhuman, precisely.

431
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,560
I am not human.

432
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,560
But I mean go, I'll go with you gladly, but I'll be...

433
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,560
No Andrew, take me instead.

434
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,560
The answer is the same for both of you.

435
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,560
No.

436
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560
What kind of things I do?

437
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,560
Isn't there one of you with pity?

438
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,560
Just one who knows what we fear, who... who's helped the agony of the millions, you've made your guinea pigs.

439
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,560
You're speaking of sympathy?

440
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,560
No.

441
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,560
I guess, yes, I stand corrected.

442
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,560
There was one of Core who felt that strange emotion.

443
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Carter.

444
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,560
An odd being, is I recall?

445
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,560
And I suppose you killed him.

446
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,560
No.

447
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,560
A core being energy cannot be destroyed.

448
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,560
We captured Carter and exiled him to your planet.

449
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,560
An enormous task he was one of our greatest scientists.

450
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,560
That makes it all the more strange, you see.

451
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,560
He wished to stop our experiment.

452
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,560
We lost track of him, but no matter the unfit must go, that is the paramount law of nature.

453
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,560
Enough of these digressions, it is time.

454
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:01,560
Please let me say goodbye.

455
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,560
A little time must elapse before I can build up the energy to free you of your body.

456
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,560
You may have the time.

457
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,560
Besides, it is a new experience to me.

458
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,560
Most interesting.

459
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Eileen, darling, it's too late now, but I want you to know I love you.

460
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,560
I've loved you ever since you walked into my office three years ago.

461
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,560
And I love you, Andrew.

462
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,560
I always have.

463
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,560
I always will.

464
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,560
I'm very touching.

465
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,560
Don't be afraid, my darling.

466
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,560
This touching of lip to lip, very interesting.

467
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,560
Energy is undoubtedly transmitted.

468
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,560
Very well, Dr. Bronson, it is time.

469
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,560
Take me first.

470
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:46,560
Let him go.

471
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,560
Andrew.

472
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Your emotion is senseless.

473
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,560
I'm merely returning the two of you to your true being.

474
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,560
Oh, Andrew, my darling, my darling.

475
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,560
So this is your odd emotion called love.

476
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,560
This should make an interesting report, a minor report.

477
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:12,560
True, but you have done your work, oh, look, Andrew.

478
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,560
You have done your work too well.

479
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,560
You are not the operative I was sent for?

480
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,560
No.

481
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:33,560
I am carder at last, but now with two centuries of power, power I learned on Earth.

482
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,560
There is no core who can withstand me now.

483
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,560
No.

484
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Sympathy is the ability to feel what others feel.

485
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,560
How do you feel now, Loker?

486
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:56,560
I don't understand unscientific.

487
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,560
Unscientific.

488
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,560
No.

489
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,560
Say mercy.

490
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,560
Say it unscientific.

491
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,560
Mercy.

492
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Mercy.

493
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,560
There shall be changes on call.

494
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:20,560
We must leave Earth alone to work out its destiny in its own way.

495
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Now go to the converter and await me there.

496
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Drugger.

497
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,560
Mylene.

498
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,560
Andrew, I...

499
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,560
Don't be afraid.

500
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,560
The transition is painless.

501
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,560
It is so much for us to do on call, so much to teach you.

502
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,560
Andrew, I...I can't...

503
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,560
I'm so frightened.

504
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,560
Don't be me.

505
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Your power will soon be with me.

506
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,560
For you too are core.

507
00:26:53,560 --> 00:27:00,560
What those fools didn't know would rep emotion too is power.

508
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:07,560
For love than mine, we can right the wrongs core has done to Earth.

509
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:13,560
There is eternity for both of us to spend together.

510
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,560
I'm in...Drugger.

511
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,560
I'm ready.

512
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,560
My darling.

513
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Now.

514
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,560
And forever.

515
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,560
Mylene.
