00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00This was the planet Mars as my crew and I first saw it.
00:01:17Dangerous, treacherous, alive with something we came to know only as death.
00:01:25This was what we faced when our spaceship cracked up and landing just six months ago, in January of this year, 1973.
00:01:34But it seems as if six centuries passed before a rescue ship arrived.
00:01:41For today, of all my crew, I, Colonel Edward Carruthers of the United States Space Command, am the only one alive.
00:01:50Now, I will be going back to face my superiors on Earth, in Washington.
00:01:59And perhaps there, too, I will find another kind of death.
00:02:04Ladies and gentlemen of the press, as you know, the first attempt to send a spaceship to the planet Mars was made six months ago.
00:02:25Well, we knew that that ship, the Challenge 141, had reached its destination.
00:02:33But that's all we knew.
00:02:35Teleradio communication with Mars ceased immediately.
00:02:38And we were forced to assume that the ship and crew had been lost.
00:02:43The man in charge of this expedition was a man who had become known to the world as the first man to be shot into space.
00:02:51The man who pioneered interplanetary space travel.
00:02:55Colonel Edward Carruthers, two months ago, we sent a second ship to Mars to learn the fate of Colonel Carruthers and his crew.
00:03:06The president has asked me to pass on to you the significant news.
00:03:11Colonel Edward Carruthers has been found alive on Mars.
00:03:17But there's a tragic side to this history-making event.
00:03:21Colonel Carruthers was the sole survivor of this first expedition.
00:03:25One hour ago, we received a teleradio communication from Colonel Van Husten, commander of the second spaceship.
00:03:34This ship is now ready to take off for its return trip to the Earth from Mars.
00:03:39And Colonel Carruthers is being brought back for a court-martial to face trial for the murders of the rest of the crew.
00:03:51The rescue ship is ready to return to Earth.
00:03:53I am to spend the next four months with strangers.
00:03:57A crew of men and women who have but one single purpose.
00:04:02To see that I face a military firing squad.
00:04:05The emergency airlock in sea compartment has been left open. What gives?
00:04:17Sorry, sir, that was me.
00:04:18I was dumping some empty crates overboard a while ago.
00:04:20I was making home.
00:04:22I'm��.
00:04:22I'm sweating.
00:04:24ICan't wait for that.
00:04:25I know.
00:04:26I know.
00:04:27I know.
00:04:27That was again.
00:04:28But then we can follow the slides C'mon.
00:04:29I know.
00:04:30I know.
00:04:30How are you doing?
00:04:31I know.

00:06:06One.
00:06:07You
00:06:21Brothers brothers
00:06:25What are you thinking about those nine bodies you left down there yes
00:06:32But I didn't kill them
00:06:34Still sticking to your story about the mysterious creature
00:06:39Do you expect a court-martial to believe it?
00:06:42It's all I can tell them I
00:06:44Wish we could have stayed in search for the bodies
00:06:47However, there's still enough evidence to put you in front of a firing squad
00:06:52You honestly believe I'd murder nine of my closest friends in order to survive on Mars
00:06:58Well, isn't it logical colonel
00:07:00The challenge one for one cracks up and landing
00:07:02You know you're marooned indefinitely on Mars until another ship is sent
00:07:05Yeah
00:07:07Another ship is sent
00:07:11You know the food and supplies aboard
00:07:13Would last the entire crew only a year
00:07:16But they'd last you ten years
00:07:19The others were dead
00:07:23Those people were killed by something
00:07:25Not me
00:07:29I want to show you another something, Carruthers
00:07:33After you
00:07:34At least I appreciate the freedom of the ship
00:07:35Why not?
00:07:39Do you think of a better prison?
00:07:43Aren't you afraid I'll murder you all in your sleep?
00:07:45I have a lieutenant caller myself will be with you every second of the trip
00:07:54Take a look at this
00:07:58He brought the dental records of the first crew from Earth
00:08:00This is Frank Kenner
00:08:02Kenner?
00:08:04We found it near the challenge one for one the day after we found you
00:08:10There's only one kind of a monster that uses bullets
00:08:12oh
00:08:13Oh
00:08:14Oh
00:08:15Oh
00:08:16Oh
00:08:16He found it near the Challenge 141 the day after we found you.
00:08:24There's only one kind of a monster that uses bullets.
00:08:46The second we hit Earth, I'm going to jump right through that airlock, all the way to the ground.
00:08:59Then I'm going to roll around and stretch like a cat in the sun.
00:09:02Oh, boy, the sun. We'll be 50 million miles closer to it.
00:09:06You know, even when I was a kid, I could never stand being cold.
00:09:09How did you ever win the Ardmore Fellowship in low-temperature physics?
00:09:12I wore long underwear.
00:09:14Figures.
00:09:16What do you look forward to?
00:09:18Girls.
00:09:20I think I remembered.
00:09:22A fascinating research.
00:09:24What do geologists do?
00:09:26Your military property, Anne.
00:09:28Occupied territory.
00:09:30Every time Van sees you, he floats.
00:09:32Even though the ship is equipped with artificial gravity.
00:09:35These days, Van seems more concerned over a manhunt than a womanhunt.
00:09:39Just that Eric here believes Carruthers' story. How you doing?
00:09:42Well, no, I don't believe it, necessarily.
00:09:45Do I disbelieve it?
00:09:46However, one thing's certain, he does believe it.
00:09:48He had to force himself to believe it or he'd go insane.
00:09:51And I didn't do that, did I?
00:09:54Missed your dinner, Colonel Carruthers.
00:09:57I'm tired of ruining appetites.
00:09:59I'd just like a cup of coffee if I may miss anything.
00:10:01Of course, Crane.
00:10:03Better stay here, Carruthers.
00:10:06Jimmy.
00:10:07Yeah.
00:10:08Here's some last-minute computations on adjusting the orbit.
00:10:11Look them over when you get a chance.
00:10:13Yes, sir.
00:10:14By the time we reach Earth, I'll have his confession on tape.
00:10:26Let's go.
00:10:51Colonel Carruthers.
00:11:00Such a cold, desolate world.
00:11:03We saw so little of it.
00:11:06Sometimes I almost want to believe you.
00:11:08Well, I killed them or I didn't.
00:11:10It was me or something.
00:11:11I've only heard the story through Van.
00:11:12I'd like to hear my version.
00:11:13All right.
00:11:14It's a long story, but I'll make it brief.
00:11:17We were all outside the ship.
00:11:18Exploring the southern tip of Sirtis Major.
00:11:20Suddenly a sandstorm came up and we started back.
00:11:22I was driving the jeep.
00:11:23The sand was so thick we could barely see.
00:11:25We were almost back to the ship when Cartwright just disappeared.
00:11:28One minute he was there and the next minute he was gone.
00:11:29He was there.
00:11:30He was there.
00:11:31He was there.
00:11:32He was there.
00:11:33As if something had just plucked him out of the jeep like candy out of a box.
00:11:38We heard a weird sort of sound.
00:11:42He was there and he was there and he was a bear.
00:11:45And I was there as if something had just plucked him out of the jeep like candy out of a box.
00:11:50We heard a weird sort of sound.
00:11:59Some of these things were in the wind.
00:12:02box. We heard a weird sort of sound. We thought we saw a dark shape running near the jeep and started
00:12:14shooting at it. Moments later, Kenner, all the rest were gone. I was the only one who headed back to
00:12:25the ship. When the sandstorm quit, I went out and searched all over. It wasn't a sign of it. Well, how can you explain the bullet hole in the skull? Well, we were all shooting at this thing. Maybe the one that got the bullet was lucky. You don't believe me, do you? I don't disbelieve you.
00:12:49Come on. How about you, Lieutenant? Mars is almost as big as Texas. Maybe it's got monsters.
00:13:05Corellet's still talking about his monsters? Why don't you stop baiting him back? You're not using your authority very well. I'm not doing it for kicks. Believe me, chicken. I'm just playing the odds.
00:13:17You're right. Because you think he's guilty. Admit it.
00:13:26But, Ann, there's a time factor involved here. He's unstable right now. If I can crack his story, I can turn him over to court marshal tied up in a little pink ribbon.
00:13:34Well, what if he's done nothing to confess? Then he won't. But, Ann, I owe it to the lives of those nine men who died to try and find out.
00:13:42Don't you owe it to Carruthers to treat him as a fellow officer? Not as an animal?
00:13:47Do you think he's innocent?
00:13:49I don't know.
00:13:51And it's not for me to decide or for you, Van.
00:13:59Okay, chicken.
00:14:00I'll let up on the third degree.
00:14:03Looks like I either have to do that or get lynched myself.
00:14:05Oh, it's you I'm worried about, Van. I hate to see you so vindictive.
00:14:09Every move I make's worse.
00:14:19Ah, come on, Eric. Resign. I want to take a...
00:14:21No!
00:14:22Ah, resign the game in 30 years.
00:14:26I'm going to do it now.
00:14:28Oh, I'm going to do it now.
00:14:31I'm going to do it now.
00:14:32I'm going to do it now.
00:14:33Every move I make's worse.
00:14:33Ah, come on, Eric. Resign. I want to take a...
00:14:36No!
00:14:36Ah, resign the game in 30 years.
00:14:39Then I'm going to do it now.
00:14:41I'm going to do it now.

00:21:14Gino. Gino. Gino. Hey, Gino.
00:21:24Maybe he went below. But we were here together. Now, there's two of them missing. This is ridiculous.
00:21:31There's just no place in this ship for a man to hide. Hey, Gino. Where are you?
00:21:38Gino. Well, where can he be?
00:21:43If he were here, he'd hear us. Well, look, maybe he's hurt. We've got to find him.
00:22:13Gino. Gino.
00:22:17Gino. Gino.
00:22:19Oh, get mercy on his soul.

00:22:41Josh. Hey, maybe Gino's up there. Oh. No. No, he's not there. Over here.
00:22:51He's in there. We can get him through this hatch. I'll go. I know the layout in there.
00:23:09It's my room. Now, we can get another light.
00:23:11After all, get started with this hatch.
00:23:15Yes.
00:23:17You look first.
00:23:20All hands.
00:23:21Yes.
00:23:23Just stay Qi a little bit.
00:23:25It's nice.
00:23:26All hands.
00:23:27Since you're here, Iables.
00:23:29We can seatbelt.
00:23:30The осlavery here.
00:23:31Full particle.
00:23:32See technology.
00:23:33He's in here, Gino, Gino, Gino, he found Gino, easy Bob, easy, he's alive, Gino, Gino,
00:24:01Gino, Gino, Gino, Gino.
00:24:31Hey, you're not going to leave Gino up there.
00:24:37Get him out of here.
00:24:39Get him out of here.
00:24:40Get out of here, will you?
00:24:42Get ahead, Gino.
00:24:43Go.
00:24:44Get out of here, will you?
00:24:45Get ahead, storage.
00:24:46Go.
00:25:14What are you going to do with those?
00:25:17We can wire them up to the hatches.
00:25:19Let's do it.
00:25:21Jimmy, put up the grill, hurry up.
00:25:27Get out of here.
00:25:35Get out of here.
00:26:53There wasn't anything else to do, Bob.
00:26:56I know how you feel, but believe me, there wasn't anything else we could do.
00:26:59We could have tried.
00:27:00Well, you heard what Jack said.
00:27:04Gino was past help.
00:27:05We should have tried.
00:27:06He's got to come out of the duct.
00:27:13Right into the grenades.
00:27:17There, you'll be all right.
00:27:19But you have to rest.
00:27:23Jack, nobody blames you.
00:27:24Do you know what happened to Kynholz?
00:27:38Every bone in his body must be broken.
00:27:43But I'm not sure that's what killed him.
00:27:46That shriveled up affected.
00:27:48I'll have to do an autopsy.
00:27:49What is that thing down there?
00:27:58Carruthers?
00:28:02What is it?
00:28:04Do you know what it is, Carruthers?
00:28:06No.
00:28:06I have a theory, based on what you and Jack told me.
00:28:11You say it's man-shaped, humanoid.
00:28:14Perhaps there was once a civilization on Mars.
00:28:17It ended.
00:28:19Disease, war, something terrible.
00:28:23The Martians, what was left of them went back to barbarism.
00:28:26Savage, murderous.
00:28:27Maybe that's what we've got on board.
00:28:36Bob.
00:28:41I was only three feet away from him.
00:28:44He was shaking his head, trying to warn me.
00:28:48I was that close, and I couldn't help him.
00:28:51Instead, I ran.
00:28:55Why don't you hate me, too?
00:28:57At least Carruthers did what he thought was right.
00:29:02If anybody did a wrong thing, it was me.
00:29:05But please believe me, Bob.
00:29:08We couldn't have saved him.
00:29:10Gino knew that.
00:29:11Gino knew that himself.
00:29:14I don't blame Carruthers, you.
00:29:15I don't blame anybody.
00:29:18It's just that he's down there.
00:29:27How could that thing have gotten aboard?
00:29:29And why?
00:29:30Just to kill us?
00:29:32What is the usual reason an intelligent creature kills?
00:29:35It's hungry.
00:29:36What makes you so certain it's intelligent, Colonel?
00:29:39Not just an animal.
00:29:41Can it open the door to see compartment?
00:29:43That's the sound.
00:29:52Okay.
00:29:53Okay.
00:29:54Yes.
00:30:00Sorry.
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:01That's the sound.
00:30:04I don't know.
00:30:34I don't know.
00:31:04I don't know.
00:31:34I don't know.
00:32:04I don't know.
00:32:34I don't know.
00:33:04I don't know.
00:33:34I don't know.
00:33:35I don't know.
00:33:37I don't know.
00:33:47I don't know.
00:33:49Those gas grenades that Gino made up.
00:33:52He joked about them, said if we ran into any dinosaurs on Mars, the grenades would take care of them.
00:33:57But if nothing else works, they're in the chemical cabinet, Eric.
00:34:02We'll use them as a last resort.
00:34:07We'll use them as a last resort.
00:34:16Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:23Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:25Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:28Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:29Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:30Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:33Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:34Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:35Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:38Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:39Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:40Jim, will you get out the gas mask?

00:34:54Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:55Jim, will you get out the gas mask?
00:34:56Oh, my God.
00:35:26Oh, my God.
00:35:56Oh, my God.
00:36:26Oh, my God.
00:36:28Oh, my God.
00:36:32Oh, my God.
00:36:36Oh, my God.
00:36:40Bullets, grenades, nothing stops it.
00:36:42What do we do now?
00:36:54Find out?
00:36:56There's not a molecule of oxygen or a drop of water left in Kynhold's body.
00:37:00Water?
00:37:01Blood, bone marrow, glandular secretion, moisture in the tissues.
00:37:07Every ounce of edible fluid in his body is gone.
00:37:11Probably through some osmosis process.
00:37:15There's no punctures.
00:37:17That's what killed him.
00:37:19Cellular collapse and dehydration.
00:37:21Not being crushed into that duct.
00:37:23Well, it holds together.
00:37:24Mars is a world almost totally without water or oxygen.
00:37:27Creatures entire beings probably organized to feed in that manner.
00:37:31It preys on smaller creatures, which in turn feed off the sand itself, converting their intake and hoarding it as water.
00:37:37Oh.
00:37:39Oh.
00:37:41I'm worried about Vane.
00:37:45Infection has set in and I can't seem to control it.
00:38:11It's exploring, testing.
00:38:31It can get through the center hatches.
00:38:33It has to kill us or starve and we've got to kill it or die.
00:38:41Why is it so quiet now?
00:38:51Why doesn't it attack?
00:38:56Because it's got Gino, huh?
00:38:58Bob, look, I've got an idea.
00:38:59How is it?
00:39:11It's an alien bacteria of some kind.
00:39:14So far the infection isn't critical.
00:39:16But our drugs don't even touch it.
00:39:29Colonel Crothers, I know this may sound horrible, but you were right and we were all wrong.
00:39:43It's taken this to prove it.
00:39:51Anne.
00:39:54Anne.
00:39:59Anne.
00:40:01Anne.
00:40:15Anne.
00:40:19Oh.
00:40:20it's moving around give me bob and i have a suggestion we could get around behind the
00:40:32creature by going out the control room emergency airlock moving down the hall to the emergency
00:40:38airlock on the motor level that would put us one level below it we might be able to surprise it
00:40:42that way if we knew what to surprise it with well i've been thinking of something at least it's
00:40:47worth a chance exactly 520 minutes 10 seconds now and we'll time it to get to the motor level airlock
00:40:57exactly 525 stop making noise then not a lot just talk move around don't make it sound threatening
00:41:04just enough to keep its attention away in case we make noise coming in below
00:41:17i said good luck in case we don't come back
00:41:30so
00:44:11Our only hope is that this will be the last attempt we have to make to kill the thing.
00:45:02Thanks.
00:45:12I hope they're making noise.
00:45:42I hope they're making noise.
00:46:12You heard what Jack said?
00:46:16Gino was past hell.
00:46:17You think they're going to be all right down there?
00:46:19Another test on the ground.
00:46:21One of theologists do it.
00:46:23Grenades, gas, and bullets have failed to stop the beast.
00:46:27But perhaps it can be electrocuted.
00:46:42There's enough voltage in these lines to kill 30 human beings.
00:46:46The only drawback is the thing isn't human.
00:46:49The only drawback is the same.
00:47:03I know, but they'll be back up.
00:47:13They'll be alright.
00:47:14Oh, first I forget and produce people.
00:47:16Even though the ship isn't equipped with artificial gravity now.
00:47:19I believe it.
00:47:20Boy, it's, uh, can I get a shot?
00:47:22No.
00:47:24Holy...
00:47:26I think I remember.
00:47:28Fascinating, sir.
00:47:30I know how you think.
00:47:32The second we hit Earth, I'm gonna jump right through that airline.
00:47:35All the way to the ground.
00:47:43...
00:47:53...
00:47:55...
00:47:57...
00:48:03...
00:48:07...
00:48:09...
00:48:11So, let's go.
00:48:41So, let's go.
00:49:11Get out! Get help!
00:49:13Get out!
00:49:43I switched the intercom to pick up the soup radio.
00:49:53So, let's go.
00:49:55Alder.
00:49:57Alder, can you hear me?
00:49:59Loud and clear.
00:50:01It's nice to have company.
00:50:03Are you all right?
00:50:05I'm alive, if that's what you mean.
00:50:07I picked a good spot right between the induction pumps.
00:50:11You mean it can't get at you?
00:50:13Well, it could if I didn't have this torch.
00:50:15To reach me, it has to stretch down in.
00:50:17Every time it does, I give it the torch right in the eyes.
00:50:21Can you reach the lock?
00:50:23No. No chance.
00:50:25Looks like I'm here for the duration.
00:50:29Whoops, here he comes again!
00:50:31Hold it.
00:50:33Still here.
00:50:35The plate on this torch says good for three hours continuous use.
00:50:39Says to return it for your money back if unsatisfied.
00:50:41Hang on, Jim.
00:50:43We'll leave the intercom on.
00:50:44Just hang on.
00:50:45Sure, what else?
00:50:47Keep us informed of its movements, we'll...
00:50:49We'll try to figure some way to get you out of there.
00:50:51Just sent care packages.
00:50:53Huh.
00:51:11You know, that thing should attack the induction pumps
00:51:16or the vacuum control relays.
00:51:18We couldn't maneuver the ship or land it.
00:51:20We had to drift right past Earth towards interstellar space.
00:51:24We'd drift forever.
00:51:41We'd be back home.
00:51:42All right, Mike.
00:51:43Good?
00:51:48You're vamos.
00:51:53You're welcome.
00:51:54Sign isoru.
00:51:56You're welcome.
00:51:57All right, once we laisse, Go.
00:51:59We'll pardon our adeptitude,
00:52:00long and long.
00:52:03You're welcome.
00:52:05W Fire, sid
00:52:09size sober.
00:52:10so i decided after one bad marriage to bury myself in science i didn't want anybody
00:52:33man changed your mind
00:52:34uh if we get out of this i'd
00:53:04get out of this
00:53:26eric
00:53:28bacteria is attacking the bone marrow resulting in a leukemia condition
00:53:34i can fight it with drugs but slowly too slowly
00:53:42if we're going to live they've got to have fresh blood constantly
00:53:48and there's no more up here in the dispensary
00:53:55and we've got to go down and get it
00:54:04so yeah you couldn't help calder
00:54:12you had you had leave them there
00:54:18what what'd you do caruthers
00:54:23throw him in his
00:54:27his base so you could get away
00:54:29bad
00:54:31how
00:54:32how come you
00:54:36how come you always get away without a scratch

00:55:06one thing
00:55:07remember there's only 10 feet of ladder between it and us when we get down
00:55:11so you better take it slow and easy one sound and we're dead
00:55:15let's take our boots off
00:55:19here are the inventory numbers type o compartment x1 storage b they're all marked
00:55:26i'm with it
00:55:28i'll let out a shot if the crew even looks at the ladder
00:55:30right now it's just prowling around
00:55:34good luck thanks hey this might be worth something
00:55:51just went to the reactor room this might be the break we're waiting for
00:55:56it took gino with it
00:55:57calder listen i'm going to close the door to the reactor room let me know what he does will you
00:56:02roger
00:56:18calder what's happening nothing not a squat
00:56:24we're coming down
00:56:27it's just that's what's happening

00:58:21Ben.
00:58:22I know what I'm doing.
00:58:23Please, Ben.
00:58:24We've got to unshield the reactor.
00:58:26The radiation, the radiation will kill us.
00:58:29No, it's too dangerous while they're down there.
00:58:30The creature breaks through.
00:58:32Ben, at least wait until they come back.
00:58:34It's a good idea, Ben.
00:58:35They don't break out anyway.
00:58:37No.
00:58:38Now is the time.
00:58:39Oh, Ben, please.
00:58:40Hurry, Ben and shield at the reactor.
00:58:54I hope that door holds if it wants out.
00:58:57Bob, hurry up.
00:58:58It's enough to kill a hundred men.
00:59:15I'll be all right.
00:59:17No, I'm not going.
00:59:18I'm not leaving.
00:59:19Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:59:20Hold on.
00:59:21Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:59:51Get up to the control level.
01:00:10Hurry.
01:00:10Be careful, Liam.
01:00:22Oh, my God.
01:00:52at least down below i could have died on a mattress you'll be all right you'll be all right
01:01:08i guess it looks like it's you and ed now not chicken what do you mean i i got good ears i i i can hear
01:01:24you and him just out of nowhere
01:01:31let's talk about it later there isn't any later the way things look
01:01:42that's why i asked now i i just gotta know ban please and where are the flashlights
01:01:53better get going
01:01:57am i going to make it i mean if if all of us get away
01:02:11okay mary i understand
01:02:18i'm the guy with all the answers
01:02:22there is nothing to do but wait now
01:02:39nothing to do but see if the beast will reach us through the center hatch
01:02:43we can go no higher we are in the top level of the ship
01:02:49this is where either we die or it dies
01:02:54caller
01:03:02still alive don't ask me why i bother
01:03:06good can you see it big as death it's been sitting here for the last half hour look at his chops
01:03:15incidentally if anybody's interested at this late date i got it figured how the critic got aboard
01:03:22how must have followed us back to the ship
01:03:25after we picked you up climbed up one of the fins
01:03:29just before take off and got in through the open emergency hatch and sea compartment
01:03:34sounds right
01:03:37how's the air down there
01:03:40pretty bad
01:03:42my suit tank helps but it's about empty
01:03:44head
01:03:48head is moving
01:03:49head it's going up the ladder
01:03:59you can hear it prowling around up there
01:04:02head mary get those flashlights on quick
01:04:11head it's going up the ladder to
01:04:19the first time
01:04:21i didn't hear everything it passes
01:04:23it's going nuts
01:04:25can you get to the airlock
01:04:27why
01:04:28look at the pretty stars through my broken face plate
01:04:31get in the airlock and hide there
01:04:44all right
01:04:45take a look at this
01:04:48the oxygen consumption's way up
01:04:51forty percent over every
01:04:52previous maximum
01:04:53forty percent
01:04:55perhaps the gas from the grenades
01:04:56no no that wouldn't affect it that much
01:05:00it's not a leak the pressure's all right
01:05:04you thinking the same thing i'm thinking
01:05:06creature
01:05:08must have enormous lungs for the thin air on mars
01:05:12let all the air out of the ship
01:05:14if we can do it in time it's the only thing that'll kill it
01:05:17we can build up the air supply for ourselves later
01:05:18right
01:05:19get your spacesuits on quick
01:05:21can you stand it up the air
01:05:26the air
01:05:27let's go up the air
01:05:28can you stand up the air
01:05:29they've got no
01:05:31but it's not a leak
01:05:32i think it's a leak
01:05:33and i think it's a leak
01:05:33but it's a leak
01:05:35any like that
01:05:36get a leak
01:05:37So, let's go.
01:06:07Dry them below so I can get the airlock.
01:06:37Dry them below so I can get the airlock.
01:07:07Hold them below so I can get the airlock.
01:07:20I don't know.
01:07:50You have been called here again to receive further information about the story which was given to you last night.
01:08:18I will read you the text of a teleradio message received from the Challenge 142 less than an hour ago.
01:08:25This is Eric Royce talking.
01:08:27Of the 19 men and women who have set foot upon the planet Mars, six will return.
01:08:34There is no longer a question of murder, but of an alien and elemental life force.
01:08:40A planet so cruel, so hostile, that man may find it necessary to bypass it in his endeavor to explore and understand the universe.
01:08:48Another name for Mars is death.
01:08:53. . .
01:09:05You
