00:00:00You
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30What's that?
00:01:42Sounds like a jet, doesn't it?
00:01:44That's no jet.
00:01:46Maggie, look!
00:01:47What is it?
00:01:48Down! Get down!
00:01:50Down!
00:01:51Maggie!
00:01:52Maggie!
00:01:53I'm all right, Dad.
00:02:20We saw it coming out of the sky.
00:02:22It was glowing.
00:02:22You can stay over there.
00:02:23Keep away from the windows.
00:02:27It's probably a meteor, isn't it?
00:02:30That's right, it is.
00:02:31Dad, don't go out there.
00:02:32Stay on there.
00:02:33Please, Dad, don't go out there.
00:02:33Get over there!
00:02:34Is the telephone still on?
00:02:36Call the police.
00:02:36Get over there.
00:03:06Will you all please return to your home?
00:03:25You're only hampering operation by crowding the streets.
00:03:28Please return to your home.
00:03:30Please get back out of the road, onto the pavement, please.
00:03:33Come on, please.
00:03:35Please return to your home.
00:03:36Please return to your home.
00:04:06Right back. Right back.
00:04:08Be clear. Be clear.
00:04:17George.
00:04:32You'll be all right. They'll take care of you.
00:04:34Okay, George. Let's have a look at you.
00:04:36Oh, don't you start fussing too. I've got singed, that's all.
00:04:40It's still too hot to put water on.
00:04:42It could do with another pump.
00:04:44It should be heavily green now.
00:04:46What's all this about, Dick?
00:04:48It could be practically anything.
00:04:50The object was first sighted at about 9.15 this evening and its approach was widely observed over the southern counties.
00:05:10A statement just issued by the Home Office stresses that there is no general danger.
00:05:16Members of the public, however, are warned to stay away from the area.
00:05:20I will repeat that.
00:05:22The Home Office stresses that there's no immediate danger.
00:05:28Do you realize what you'll have to face if this turns out to be a disaster, Quatermass?
00:05:30How much further?
00:05:32I'm talking to you.
00:05:33For the last 20 miles I've been painfully aware of that.
00:05:35Well, then answer, man. How did it happen? What went wrong?
00:05:37For the first time in the history of the world, man has sent a rocket 1,500 miles into space.
00:05:42You can't expect such an experiment to be perfect.
00:05:44Well, you must have had some idea.
00:05:45I'm a scientist, not a fortune teller, who predicts what will happen.
00:05:48Well, you had instruments, radio contact.
00:05:50We lost it for over 57 hours, sir.
00:05:52It broke loose and we don't even know how far it's been.
00:05:54It had no further contact even when it returned to the orbit.
00:05:56Yet you brought it down by your own control.
00:05:58Well, that's something to tell your ministry.
00:06:00Quatermass set it up and he brought it back.
00:06:02Please, oh, please.
00:06:03Couldn't you pick some other time for this?
00:06:05I'm sorry, Mrs. Crew.
00:06:06I happen to be concerned with the Ministry of Defence.
00:06:08Well, I'm not a civil servant.
00:06:09I'm a doctor and I happen to be concerned with three men.
00:06:12The three men who are in that rocket.
00:06:14Oakley Green.
00:06:15This is it.
00:06:16Certainly no secret.
00:06:22Sorry, no one allowed past this point.
00:06:24All right, please. The Ministry of Defence.
00:06:26Oh, yes, sir.
00:06:27All right there, open it up.
00:06:36Oh.
00:06:37Hey.
00:06:38Sorry, Miss.
00:06:39You must keep back.
00:06:40Oi, Miss.
00:06:41Hey, just a minute, please.
00:06:42Miss.
00:06:43Aye, aye.
00:06:44Chasing the girls again.
00:06:45Oh, you think it was a bank holiday the way they come flocking out?
00:06:46I'd like a flock home.
00:06:47You stay put, my lad, until that thing cools off.
00:06:48Or blows up.
00:06:49Now, don't start that story going around.
00:06:50They've said it's not a bomb.
00:06:51So why can't we put water on it?
00:06:52Listen, Charlie, we've had instructions.
00:06:53Don't ask me why, because they didn't tell us.
00:06:55Hey, hey, just a minute.
00:06:57Mr Blake, Ministry of Defence.
00:06:58I'll get the instructions.
00:06:59I'll get the instructions.
00:07:00Now, don't start that story going around. They've said it's not a bomb.
00:07:03So why can't we put water on it?
00:07:04Listen, Charlie, we've had instructions.
00:07:06Don't ask me why, because they didn't tell us.
00:07:08Hey! Hey, just a minute!
00:07:10Mr. Blake, Ministry of Defense!
00:07:24Try and get through to them, Marsh.
00:07:25What's up?
00:07:26Give me a temperature reading.
00:07:30Why don't you go and wait in the car, Judith?
00:07:32It's funny. It looks exactly the same.
00:07:35Yet it's been... who knows how far.
00:07:39There isn't a word.
00:07:41Hello, Q1, hello.
00:07:48Q1, Q1. This is Marsh.
00:07:51Hello, Karun, Green, Reichenheim.
00:07:53You receive me. Over.
00:07:56Keep trying.
00:07:57Mr. Blake?
00:07:58I'm Quatermass. I'll be in charge from here on, Inspector.
00:08:01Can't say I'm sorry about that. What's the next move?
00:08:03We can't do anything right now. Not until that cools off.
00:08:05How long will that be, sir?
00:08:07I would say three or four hours, at least.
00:08:09Q1, Q1.
00:08:10This is Marsh.
00:08:11Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
00:08:12Over.
00:08:13Leave him in there for four hours.
00:08:14I suppose you'd like me to open it up right now, huh?
00:08:16One blast of air in against that heater to incinerate them.
00:08:19There's some reporters here from London, sir. They'd like some facts.
00:08:21They'll get some later.
00:08:22They'll get some now. Bring them on, Major.
00:08:24Don't you think we ought to find out a few more ourselves first?
00:08:25Bring them on, Major.
00:08:26Are you hearing me, Q1? Are you hearing me?
00:08:29This is Marsh calling Q1. Q1. Over.
00:08:33You know, if I ever gave them all the facts, you'd find one or two of them difficult to explain.
00:08:44Don't try and drag me through the mud, Blake.
00:08:46You might splash a little bit on yourself, you and your committee.
00:08:49You deliberately launched that rocket without waiting for official sanction.
00:08:52If the whole world waited for official sanction, it'd be standing still.
00:08:55You took too long. I made my own decision.
00:08:57To gamble with three men's lives.
00:08:58Every experiment is a gamble.
00:09:00The unknown is always a risk. They should know that.
00:09:02Did she know that?
00:09:03That woman over there waiting, hoping and praying.
00:09:05It's dropped another hundred degrees since we arrived.
00:09:07Still got a long way to go.
00:09:08Let's have that insulation lining. There's some cracking up.
00:09:10Yes, let's hope it didn't.
00:09:11Because if it did, Quatermass, and those three men in there are dead or alive, they'll be heroes.
00:09:15Let me tell you something, Blake.
00:09:16They'll fire the imagination so that there'll be a hundred men begging for the same privilege when we launch the second rocket.
00:09:22You can't stop it now.
00:09:23You mean I can't stop you now?
00:09:25That's right.
00:09:27This is Marsh calling Q1.
00:09:29Marsh calling Q1. Do you hear me?
00:09:31Do you hear me?
00:09:32Do you hear me?
00:09:33Over.
00:09:38There's nothing, sir.
00:09:39Nothing, Quatermass.
00:09:40You know what you've done.
00:09:41I launched it and I brought it back.
00:09:42That's quite an achievement, I think.
00:09:44And those three men in there were...
00:09:45What?
00:09:46What is it, Marsh?
00:09:47Something came through.
00:09:50Pull up.
00:09:51Volume, pull up.
00:09:54It's a tapping.
00:09:55Coming from inside.
00:09:56By the hull, near the transmitter.
00:09:59Q1.
00:10:00Q1.
00:10:01Green.
00:10:02Reichenheim.
00:10:03Caroon.
00:10:04This is Quatermass.
00:10:05Quatermass.
00:10:06We can hear you.
00:10:07Can you hear us?
00:10:08You've landed in England.
00:10:09We're here, not 50 yards from you.
00:10:10Are you all right?
00:10:11Over.
00:10:12Tapping has stopped.
00:10:13We can't wait.
00:10:14We've got to get them out of there now.
00:10:15Bring me the fire chief.
00:10:16Right away, sir.
00:10:17Set the remote control.
00:10:18We do.
00:10:19I do know what'll happen if we open that rocket door now.
00:10:20We've got to take that risk.
00:10:21We know one of them is alive in there, and A Maori may not be.
00:10:23But you said that would incinerate them.
00:10:24You can't do a thing like that.
00:10:25Don't tell me what I can do.
00:10:26That's just that shell temperature is still 300 degrees.
00:10:29All right, what do you mean?
00:10:30What's going on?
00:10:31What's going on there?
00:10:32I might be seeing a lot of light and a lot of light.
00:10:33I don't know if we're in there.
00:10:34Bring me the fire chief.
00:10:35Right away, sir.
00:10:36Set the remote control, Matt.
00:10:37I do not know what will happen if we open that rocket door now.
00:10:39We've got to take that risk.
00:10:40We know one of them is alive in there, and an hour he may not be.
00:10:42But you said that would incinerate them.
00:10:44You can't do a thing like that.
00:10:44Don't tell me what I can do and what I can't do.
00:10:46That shell temperature is still 300 degrees.
00:10:47All right, what would you suggest?
00:10:49Wait till it's absolutely safe and then bring them out?
00:10:51Dead?
00:10:52Door control set, sir.
00:10:53Hold it.
00:10:54Where's that fire chief?
00:10:55Get an ambulance moved in.
00:10:56Stand by.
00:10:56Ambulance.
00:10:59You want me, sir?
00:11:00Yes.
00:11:01Round up every man and piece of machinery you've got.
00:11:03Move it in there as close as possible.
00:11:04We're going to open the rocket door from here by remote control.
00:11:07When the door opens, when I give you the signal,
00:11:09I want every hose turned full force around that entrance.
00:11:12Now, you got it?
00:11:13Well, that thing still is off its bases.
00:11:14I don't know.
00:11:15You stop pumping water.
00:11:16Don't argue with me.
00:11:17I know what I'm doing.
00:11:18I hope so, sir.
00:11:19Major.
00:11:20Sir.
00:11:21I want this whole field cleared.
00:11:22When they come out of the rocket,
00:11:24I want absolutely no one on the field.
00:11:25You understand?
00:11:26No one.
00:11:26Don't worry, sir.
00:11:33There's someone alive in there.
00:11:41We don't know what condition they'll be in,
00:11:42so you'd better get everything out.
00:11:43Oxygen, morphine, glucose.
00:11:55Well, now it's up to you.
00:11:56Keep your eye on me.
00:11:57I'll give you the signal.
00:11:59All set?
00:12:00Set, sir.
00:12:01Start it up.
00:12:02Let me know when you're minus 10 to pressure.
00:12:05Right, sir.
00:12:07Minus 10.
00:12:10Nine.
00:12:13Eight.
00:12:16Seven.
00:12:18Six.
00:12:21Five.
00:12:24Four.
00:12:26Three.
00:12:29Two.
00:12:30One.
00:12:35Zero.
00:12:35Zero.
00:12:35Zero.
00:13:00Turn off the water.
00:13:30It's Mr. Karun.
00:13:37Victor, Victor.
00:13:38Get him into the others.
00:13:39What about the others?
00:13:40Green.
00:13:41I can hide it.
00:13:42What have you saw?
00:13:43The access chamber to the motors.
00:13:47Quick, the manual control.
00:13:48Where are the others?
00:13:49Think it works?
00:13:50It's free, sir.
00:13:51It's free, sir.
00:13:52I can hide it.
00:13:53What have you saw?
00:13:58The access chamber to the motors.
00:14:05Quick, the manual control.
00:14:07Where are the others?
00:14:09Think it works?
00:14:11It's free, sir.
00:14:21They're not there.
00:14:32They're not there.
00:14:33What do you mean, they're not there?
00:14:34I mean, they're not in the rocket, either one of them.
00:14:36But that's impossible.
00:14:37They must be.
00:14:38He's right, sir.
00:14:39They're gone.
00:14:40The pressure suits.
00:14:41They're empty.
00:14:42They're still linked.
00:14:43Helmets are still attached, but they're empty.
00:14:46How could they possibly have gone out?
00:14:48If I knew that, I wouldn't be wasting my time trying to find out.
00:14:50Go bring the camera down.
00:14:52Do you think the door opened and they were swept away?
00:14:54If the door had opened, it would be registered here.
00:14:57No, that door has not been opened.
00:14:59Until now.
00:15:04What is it you're trying to tell me?
00:15:05I'm not trying to tell you anything.
00:15:07Let the camera do that.
00:15:09I'm afraid the camera won't tell us anything.
00:15:20I'm afraid.
00:15:21Are they all right?
00:15:22Something's happened.
00:15:23They're not there.
00:15:24Victor.
00:15:25Where's Green?
00:15:26Where's Reichenheim?
00:15:27What happened?
00:15:28Please, not now.
00:15:29Let's pass.
00:15:30He's in no condition to talk.
00:15:31He's induced to be in a state of shock.
00:15:32He must be treated.
00:15:33He's got to talk first.
00:15:34He's got to tell me what happened.
00:15:35Gordon.
00:15:36What is it, Victor?
00:15:37What is it?
00:15:38What is it?
00:15:39What is it?
00:15:40Hello?
00:15:41Hello?
00:15:42Hey!
00:15:43� haters!
00:15:44He's in no condition to talk.
00:15:45He's induced to be in a state of shock.
00:15:46He must be treated.
00:15:47He's got to talk first.
00:15:48He's got to tell me what happened.
00:15:49Gordon.
00:15:51What is it, Victor?
00:15:52What is it?
00:16:10He said, help me. That's all he said. Help me.
00:16:40You get it? Yes, sir. Good.
00:17:10All right, sir, it doesn't make me any prettier, but I got a lunch date with the wife.
00:17:26Any special reasons? Uh-huh. My favorite day of the month. Payday.
00:17:30Oh, I'm a big man on payday. Yes, sir.
00:17:35See the papers? Quite a mess.
00:17:38He's got to get up with the police. How dare we take fingerprints from a sick man.
00:17:42There's nothing else I could do. He couldn't talk, couldn't answer any questions.
00:17:46Thought we might as well get his prints. You never know.
00:17:49No, you never know. He's a weird one, all right. The skin, it...
00:17:54It's just like shaking hands with a piece of ice.
00:17:57Sergeant, there's no way to talk about a public hero.
00:18:01Come in.
00:18:03A Mr. Quaylemass, I see you, sir.
00:18:06Well, speaking of public heroes, all right, ween him in.
00:18:10Yes, sir.
00:18:11Quite a mess, eh?
00:18:13This is what's known as penetrating into enemy territory.
00:18:17Inspector Lomax.
00:18:22I'm Lomax. This is Sergeant Best. Won't you sit down?
00:18:25I'll come direct to the point, Inspector.
00:18:27I will not have your men coming into my research center and treating Victor Caroon as though he were a pathological criminal.
00:18:31Nobody would.
00:18:32He's a sick man, Inspector. He's been through an ordeal that very few men could survive.
00:18:36Two men didn't survive it, did they, Mr. Quaylemass?
00:18:38What exactly do you mean by that?
00:18:40I wish you'd sit down. If I sit and you stand, I'm being rude, and I'm longing to sit down.
00:18:48You see, Mr. Quaylemass, I'm an old-fashioned sort of chap.
00:18:51I don't know much about rockets or traveling into space.
00:18:53I don't read science fiction. I'm a plain, simple Bible man.
00:18:56I have a routine mind, and I have to do routine things.
00:18:59Such as fingerprinting an unconscious man?
00:19:01When three men take off in a rocket and only one comes back, in our reckoning that leaves minus two.
00:19:07And minus two puts us in the embarrassing position of having to investigate plus one.
00:19:11Whether he's conscious, unconscious, or a gibbering idiot.
00:19:13Fine. I think I can save you a lot of time, Inspector, with your so-called investigation.
00:19:18I have here the particulars on all three members of the crew.
00:19:22Charles Green, Ludwig Reichenheim, Victor Caroon.
00:19:25You'll find everything there, Inspector. Medical histories, personal description, academic achievements,
00:19:30professional activities, politics, and even fingerprints.
00:19:34That's very thoughtful of you.
00:19:35There's only one investigation likely to serve any good purpose in this situation, Inspector.
00:19:40That's a scientific one.
00:19:46I'm sure even you will agree that between us, I'm the best qualified for that assignment.
00:19:50Good day, Inspector. Sergeant.
00:19:53Well, they might almost say we've been given a rocket.
00:19:57Yes, sir.
00:19:59It's absolutely unbelievable.
00:20:01It just isn't clinically possible that his heart should respond like this.
00:20:02Pulse, blood pressure, the same. Impossibly low.
00:20:17He shouldn't be alive, but he is.
00:20:19Can't you do something to increase the metabolic rate?
00:20:21Tried everything. No effect.
00:20:23I never knew pressure effects to last this long.
00:20:26Well, these aren't just pressure effects.
00:20:27It doesn't only his face. Take a look at his skin.
00:20:30Anyway, here, on the shoulder.
00:20:33Clean it.
00:20:35Swollen. Coarsened.
00:20:37Yes, and that's not all, either.
00:20:39Look at the contour of the face.
00:20:42You mean the bone structure?
00:20:44Yes, I could be wrong about a limb, but not about the shape of the bones.
00:20:47There's been a change. I'm convinced of that.
00:20:52Is he any better?
00:20:53He's coming along fine.
00:20:55If only he'd say something.
00:20:57Give us a sign that he's thinking that he knows we're here.
00:21:00He knows, Judith. He knows we're trying to help him.
00:21:03What is happening to him?
00:21:04Well, that's what we're trying to find out.
00:21:06Shouldn't he be in a hospital?
00:21:10That's exactly where he should be.
00:21:12Briscoe.
00:21:13I can't take this responsibility any longer.
00:21:15I haven't got the proper equipment here to do the right tests.
00:21:17He belongs in a hospital.
00:21:21I suppose you're right.
00:21:24I suppose you're both right.
00:21:26He does belong in a hospital.
00:21:30But can a hospital do more than you can do?
00:21:32Would a hospital know what goes on out there in space,
00:21:35on the other side of the air?
00:21:36There's a whole new world out there, a wilderness, uncharted.
00:21:40And he's been there and come back.
00:21:43He's got the map.
00:21:45Unlock his mind for me, Briscoe, and find it.
00:21:46I know you can do it.
00:21:47It isn't just a question of...
00:21:48I know the strain and tension you've been under,
00:21:50but to stop now when we're so close,
00:21:52on the brink of something tremendous,
00:21:54the very fringe of some great discovery.
00:21:56We can't stop now, Briscoe.
00:21:58Besides, it's our only chance to learn what happened to the others.
00:22:00At a hospital, you'd have all the most modern...
00:22:02Would a hospital know how to deal with a man
00:22:04who's been exposed to rocket radiation?
00:22:06In his bloodstream, there was absolutely...
00:22:07Or the effects of pressure at 1,500 miles up.
00:22:10During flight training, he took seven times the force of gravity
00:22:12without even a headache to...
00:22:13We know that.
00:22:14But would a hospital know it?
00:22:16Well, I'll try another transfusion, see if that'll help.
00:22:33Thanks.
00:22:34You'll stay with him, won't you, Giudah?
00:22:38He needs you.
00:22:46Victor.
00:22:48Victor.
00:23:10I think we'll move him into the office.
00:23:11We can make him more comfortable in there.
00:23:13Would you help me, Giudah?
00:23:14Of course.
00:23:16Thank you for all you're doing, Gordon.
00:23:18Hmm?
00:23:19I only wish I could do more.
00:23:29The solution is elementary, my dear Inspector.
00:23:31Victor Caroon killed the two men,
00:23:33removed their precious suits,
00:23:34pushed their bodies out into space,
00:23:35and then linked the suits together again.
00:23:37Now, what do you want?
00:23:38Number one, I want to return these files.
00:23:40Green, Reichenheim, Caroon.
00:23:42Very interesting.
00:23:43Caroon...
00:23:44Number two?
00:23:45Well, I want you to give me your solemn word...
00:23:47Well, Inspector, I'm a very busy man.
00:23:49Now, look, sir, nobody ever wins a Cold War.
00:23:51One of us had better come over to the other side.
00:23:53If you don't want to come over to mine,
00:23:54I'm not proud, I'll come over to yours.
00:23:56Solemn word about what?
00:23:57That these were Caroon's fingerprints.
00:23:59Of course they were.
00:24:00Everybody in research center gets fingerprinted.
00:24:02What are you getting at?
00:24:04To be quite honest, I don't quite know, sir.
00:24:06Nothing unusual about these.
00:24:08These are the fingerprints we took off Caroon last night.
00:24:11What about them?
00:24:12Compare them.
00:24:24Is this a joke?
00:24:25This is no joke, sir.
00:24:26The man who took those had his training in the fingerprint section.
00:24:28It's second nature to him.
00:24:31But these prints aren't even...
00:24:34Human.
00:24:36Yes.
00:24:37Yes.
00:24:38You found what?
00:24:39I'll be right there.
00:24:41Well, wherever you're going,
00:24:42I might as well keep your company, mightn't I?
00:24:46Very nice of you.
00:24:47It was when I was checking the safety casing on the wiring.
00:24:52Behind there.
00:25:03Can you get at it?
00:25:04No.
00:25:05It's right in the crevice.
00:25:07Hand me the sample spoon for my box.
00:25:17Well, what is...
00:25:18For you?
00:25:19Oh.
00:25:20Good.
00:25:21I'm sorry.
00:25:22It jumps out.
00:25:23I'll be right back.
00:25:24Come on.
00:25:25I'm sorry, sir.
00:25:26There's a lot.
00:25:27There's a lot right on the left.
00:25:28To the rivet.
00:25:31Do you mind if I have some of these?
00:25:32Come on.
00:25:37Any more of that?
00:25:38Yes, sir. Lots.
00:25:40On the left.
00:25:41By the rivet.
00:25:43Mind if I have a sample for our people?
00:25:46Sure. We'll give you a sample.
00:25:52Brisco, what do you think it is?
00:25:56I don't want to think. I want to be sure.
00:25:58I've been in this thing all night.
00:26:00Nice to know that stuff's been around the whole time.
00:26:02Howdy, Edlam.
00:26:05Have you got the same bright thoughts that I have?
00:26:10Something happened in here.
00:26:12Something beyond our understanding at the moment.
00:26:16I only knew where to begin.
00:26:18Maybe the film will help.
00:26:19Film?
00:26:20Yes, the lab should have developed it by now.
00:26:22I thought you told me the camera was smashed.
00:26:24It was badly damaged, but I managed to get the film out.
00:26:26Why didn't you tell me?
00:26:27The lab said they didn't know if they could develop it or not.
00:26:29They've got to develop it.
00:26:30You get right down to that laboratory and tell them they've got to develop that film.
00:26:34Yes, sir.
00:26:35And I'll have no delays or excuses.
00:26:36Tell them to get the best processed man in the country.
00:26:38Tell them to get anybody they want, but I've got to have that film.
00:26:40Right, sir.
00:26:42This is one premier I don't want to miss.
00:26:44I don't want to miss.
00:26:45I don't want to miss.
00:27:14Still in on the back.
00:27:17I don't want to miss.
00:27:19Don't miss.
00:27:20All right.
00:27:21I don't want to miss.
00:27:22They made a film.
00:27:23But they tried to make a film.
00:27:24They did make a film.
00:27:25They made a film.
00:27:26They lost their film.
00:27:27They did make a film.
00:27:28They told me they were the selling.
00:27:30They made a film.
00:27:32They told me that they did make a film.
00:27:33They told me they did.
00:27:34Let's go.
00:27:57Well?
00:27:58It's harmless.
00:27:59It's organic.
00:28:00It's jelly.
00:28:01End of analysis.
00:28:02No definite identification?
00:28:03Well, it might conceivably represent the dead remnants of cell tissue, sir.
00:28:06What sort of cell tissue?
00:28:07It could be animal.
00:28:08It could be human.
00:28:09Human?
00:28:10Good, Ben.
00:28:15Do you know what you're saying?
00:28:17I know what I'm thinking.
00:28:19Are you sure it's not some sort of plant cell?
00:28:22Positive.
00:28:23You mean to say that you're asking me to believe that that is the remains of two human beings?
00:28:29I'm not asking you to believe anything.
00:28:30You asked a question.
00:28:31I answered it.
00:28:35Does she know?
00:28:36No.
00:28:37This is the first sleep she's had in nights.
00:28:38What about the police analysts?
00:28:39What do they say?
00:28:40No report through yet.
00:28:42But I don't doubt it'll be the same.
00:28:44It's almost beyond human understanding.
00:28:47Some fantastic invisible force converted two men into jelly.
00:28:54Is that the slide?
00:28:56That's the slide.
00:28:57I'm about to call it a day, Equatomass.
00:29:00Beyond this, I'm a babe and a...
00:29:02Gordon!
00:29:07All right.
00:29:08Get him up.
00:29:09No, wait a minute.
00:29:11His hand.
00:29:13Another change.
00:29:15Get him back to bed.
00:29:25Look what's happening to his skin.
00:29:27In just the last few moments, I'll go and get him a sedative.
00:29:33You've done this to him.
00:29:34He'd have been better off if he'd been killed or stayed out there.
00:29:37Judith!
00:29:38Destroyed him like you've destroyed everything else you've touched.
00:29:40Destroyed him, I've brought him back.
00:29:41I've saved him.
00:29:42Saved him for what?
00:29:43For further experiments?
00:29:44I can help him more than you or anyone else can.
00:29:46There's no room for personal feelings and science, Judith.
00:29:49Some of us have a mission.
00:29:50You should be very proud to have a husband who's willing to risk his life
00:29:53for the betterment of the whole world.
00:29:54What world?
00:29:55Your world?
00:29:56The world of Quatermass.
00:29:59I've sent for an ambulance.
00:30:01He's going to the central clinic.
00:30:05All right, Brisco.
00:30:06Send him to the clinic.
00:30:07But I want him to have complete isolation.
00:30:10You understand?
00:30:11Complete isolation.
00:30:13No one is to see him.
00:30:15No one.
00:30:16Until I say so.
00:30:17We've tried three different grades of stock.
00:30:31Developed each one to as high a gamma as possible and still it's made no difference.
00:30:34Look at this.
00:30:35It's grainy and dull.
00:30:36All I want is a print.
00:30:37Well, we don't like any print that isn't up to standard.
00:30:39Is there a picture on it?
00:30:40Oh, there's a picture all right, but you can see how dull and grainy.
00:30:43I don't care how dull and grainy it is.
00:30:44I must have this now.
00:30:45It could be altitude or an extreme change of temperature or penetration of cosmic rays.
00:30:49Fine, fine. I'll tell him that.
00:30:50Well, I don't know what the old man will say.
00:30:51Listen, you tell your old man that our old man said if he didn't get this print it'd dynamite the building.
00:30:59I can't tell them in the street. They'll think I've lost my senses.
00:31:02That's exactly why you must tell them nothing.
00:31:04Now you see why I must have absolute authority to isolate Garun.
00:31:07But every newspaper in town has got a story on him being admitted into the clinic.
00:31:10They'll want to know why and what's happened to him and what's happened to the others.
00:31:12All right. Do you want to tell them?
00:31:13Well, not telling them won't stop the panic.
00:31:15What they don't know won't start a panic.
00:31:17Inspector, what about the police analysis?
00:31:19The same, Mr. Blake.
00:31:21What's the next move?
00:31:22Well, we've agreed to isolation. It's the only thing we can do until we know more.
00:31:29Yeah?
00:31:35The phone is ready.
00:31:43security.
00:31:45Yeah.
00:31:48Um, to the police.
00:31:51I do.
00:31:53I do.
00:31:54I do.
00:31:57I do.
00:32:00Why?
00:32:02I do.
00:32:04I do.
00:32:05I do.
00:32:08I do.
00:32:09I do.
00:32:10See that, Marsh?
00:32:19It works.
00:32:20Yes, sir.
00:32:20What works?
00:32:21Automatic prism.
00:32:22It cuts in the panel reading.
00:33:10Oh, is that all?
00:33:23Once in the observation zone, the cameras geared to cut out at regular intervals.
00:33:27This would be the 0.16 period.
00:33:33That must be why we lost them.
00:33:40Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:33:50Look at that fantastic temperature, Doc.
00:33:52Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:34:01Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:35:06Run it again.
00:35:30He's in surgery.
00:35:39But I'll get word to him as soon as possible.
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:42What's the name, please?
00:35:44Oh.
00:35:46That's two Ts.
00:35:48Uh-huh.
00:35:49Uh-uh.
00:35:50Uh-huh.
00:35:51Uh-huh.
00:35:52Yes.
00:35:53I'll see if he gets it.
00:35:54Yes.
00:35:57Sorry, miss.
00:35:58The visiting hours are over.
00:36:00I just wanted to know how my husband is.
00:36:02Oh, I'll try and find out for you, miss.
00:36:04What would the name be?
00:36:05Caroon.
00:36:06Victor Caroon.
00:36:07Oh.
00:36:08He's all right, isn't he?
00:36:10Mrs. Caroon, I wish I could let you go up, but...
00:36:13All I want to know is, how is he?
00:36:15Is there any change?
00:36:17Just a minute.
00:36:21Hello, Mabel.
00:36:23Alf here.
00:36:24Listen.
00:36:25How is 4B?
00:36:26I know all about the orders, but I only want you to think out loud.
00:36:31Thank you, Mabel.
00:36:34He's going on the same, Mrs. Caroon.
00:36:36No change, but no worse.
00:36:38If I could see him, just for a few minutes.
00:36:40I should be shot at dawn.
00:36:42But don't you worry.
00:36:43He's in good hands.
00:36:44They don't leave him alone, do they?
00:36:46Oh, not for a moment.
00:36:47Tucker, his night nurse, is with him now.
00:36:49And Perkins comes on in about half an hour.
00:36:52Both as good as any doctor.
00:36:53Could I wait for the night nurse when he comes off duty?
00:36:55If only to talk to someone who's been with him.
00:36:58Please.
00:36:59Tucker comes over in about half an hour.
00:37:01He usually dips out through the staff entrance.
00:37:03Turn left through the doors and is on the right.
00:37:06Wait for him outside.
00:37:07And if they ask me, I never told you nothing.
00:37:25There's only the nurse with him.
00:37:34His name's Tucker.
00:37:35His name?
00:37:36You mean I've got to flirt with a he-nurse?
00:37:37Sleep, hurry.
00:37:38You've only got half an hour before the relief nurse comes on duty.
00:37:40Another one in pass?
00:37:41His name's Perkins.
00:37:42It's money, money, money.
00:37:44Passed before delivery.
00:37:45It always gives me more confidence.
00:37:46Especially when my investigating is this private.
00:37:48Room 4B.
00:37:49Give me 15 minutes.
00:37:58I'll put him in the lift and send him down.
00:37:59Then he's all yours.
00:38:00I never saw you in my-
00:38:01Please hurry.
00:38:02And he's very sick.
00:38:03Don't worry.
00:38:04I'll murder him like a baby.
00:38:05You've got to get him.
00:38:27Relax, lady.
00:38:28You're shaking the building.
00:38:35Evening.
00:38:54Evening.
00:38:56I'm from Casualty.
00:39:02Perkins is sick.
00:39:03They sent me to take over his night shift.
00:39:05It's fine.
00:39:05Well, I know I'm too honest, but you're not due for another half hour.
00:39:08Who cares?
00:39:09Night shift is night shift.
00:39:10What's a half an hour here or there?
00:39:11You know you've got to heaven for this?
00:39:12At our rate of pay, we should get some fun out of life.
00:39:14What's his trouble?
00:39:15He doesn't seem to know.
00:39:16He's the star patient.
00:39:18He just lies and stares.
00:39:20Never opens his mouth.
00:39:21But if he does, press that bell and quick.
00:39:23Well, happy night, Mac.
00:39:25Any special instructions?
00:39:26No, I'll let the chart.
00:39:26Good night.
00:39:27Good night.
00:39:32News, my friend.
00:39:33Your wife is waiting for you downstairs.
00:39:35I'm the man who's going to get you out of here.
00:39:38Does that make you happy?
00:39:39It does?
00:39:40Good.
00:39:41Well, we don't have too much time, so up we get.
00:39:55Hello.
00:39:56Hello.
00:39:56What time are you off?
00:39:57Ask him whether he's going to the living room.
00:39:59Operating?
00:39:59For about three and a half hours, at least.
00:40:02You too?
00:40:02Me too.
00:40:03Chinese restaurants, open for midnight.
00:40:05Take you both.
00:40:06Beautiful sweet and sour pork.
00:40:08Roast duck.
00:40:08Fried shrimp.
00:40:09You've talked us into it.
00:40:11There we are.
00:40:12Now the jacket.
00:40:21There's a good boy.
00:40:22Can't meet the lady looking sloppy.
00:40:24You know, it's funny.
00:40:26Wires usually employ me to get them away from their husbands.
00:40:30Oh, you're a sad one.
00:40:32Well, to each his own.
00:40:34Hey, steady, steady.
00:40:36Now you stay here while Christy goes and gets the lift.
00:40:39Won't be a minute.
00:40:39All clear.
00:41:08Hey, come on, hurry.
00:41:10That's the boy.
00:41:11Christy's got you.
00:41:38What have you got there?
00:41:41What are you hiding?
00:41:44What is it?
00:41:45Victor.
00:42:04Oh, Victor, darling.
00:42:06I've got the car outside.
00:42:07Please try and be quick.
00:42:09You can make it, dear.
00:42:10Everything's going to be all right, Victor.
00:42:26I'll get you the best treatment.
00:42:28The finest doctors.
00:42:31I'll get you well and strong.

00:52:51There's the teapot.
00:52:56There's the cups.
00:52:57And I brought the most delicious cakes and biscuits.
00:53:07The others never serve anything, but we do.
00:53:11Look, aren't they lovely?
00:53:14Don't be frightened.
00:53:15And that's only the old rat that live in this old boat.

00:54:01We would like you to stay very much.
00:54:04And you may have the cake that has all the chocolate inside.
00:54:07Tell him, Dolly.
00:54:31Yes.
00:54:35What time was this?
00:54:36Was it an eyewitness?
00:54:39I see.
00:54:40Oh, they're doing fine.
00:54:41He's been positively seen in Liverpool, Margate, Ostend and the Orkneys.
00:54:44Yes?
00:54:46Yes.
00:54:47Deptford area.
00:54:47What?
00:54:49A kid told her mother.
00:54:50Yes?
00:54:51About two hours ago.
00:54:53Hold it, please.
00:54:54A kid got a doll broken by a man down by some derelict boats near Deptford.
00:54:58So it had to be Caroon.
00:54:59No, the mother's complaining about molesting kids.
00:55:01Deptford said the description could fit Caroon.
00:55:03All right.
00:55:04Well, that's why there's a police station at Deptford.
00:55:06Thank you, Deptford.
00:55:07Keep us informed.
00:55:08Mobile?
00:55:09There's a Deptford alert on Caroon.
00:55:12Yes, I know it is.
00:55:13So your boys can have another little drive.
00:55:15Well, cover derelict boats, warehouses and bomb shelters.
00:55:19All right, so do it again.
00:55:22Where's he getting food?
00:55:23That's what I'd like to know.
00:55:26Now, now, shut up, Simba.
00:55:27You've had to do it.
00:55:28It's time to go to bed.
00:55:29Go on.
00:55:29Off you go.
00:55:30Go on.
00:55:31Don't stand there gaping at me.
00:55:32Off you go to bed.
00:55:44Good night, fellas.
00:55:46Seat well.
00:55:47Hello, Joey.
00:55:48You know something?
00:55:49Could have sworn I saw you having tea in a cafe this afternoon.
00:55:52Turned out to be a customer, though.
00:55:54Good night.
00:55:54Good night.
00:55:54Good night.

00:56:19Oh, my God.
00:56:49Oh, my God.
00:57:19Oh, my God.
00:57:49Oh, my God.
00:58:19Oh, my God.
00:58:49Oh, my God.
00:59:19Oh, my God.
00:59:49Well, what was left of them?
00:59:50Look.
00:59:56Look at that.
00:59:58Complete absorption this time.
00:59:59That's what I've been afraid of.
01:00:00Inspector, get this place closed.
01:00:02Get everybody out of here.
01:00:03Right.
01:00:03As quickly and quietly as possible.
01:00:04No panic, no excitement.
01:00:05Where's the whole place up?
01:00:06We've already wrote the arrows on here.
01:00:07Listen, sir, you've got a take of him us.
01:00:08We know what we're doing.
01:00:09Just tell your men to cooperate, please.
01:00:11Well, I don't understand what's happening anyway.
01:00:13What killed these animals?
01:00:14You better say natural causes for now.
01:00:15Sorry, ma'am.
01:00:20Sorry, ma'am.
01:00:20We're closed this morning.
01:00:22Closed?
01:00:22But we've come all the way for mapping.
01:00:24Sorry, ma'am.
01:00:24We're not open to the public this morning.
01:00:26Will it be open this afternoon?
01:00:27I wish I could tell you, sir.
01:00:29Sorry, folks.
01:00:30Too closed.
01:00:30I'm very sorry now, but we're closed now.
01:00:32What's happening?
01:00:33I'm very sorry, sir.
01:01:00I'm very sorry, sir.
01:01:30Well, what manner or shape of thing do we look for now?
01:01:40You'll know it when you see it.
01:01:41Just send your men out with a prayer that we find it in time.
01:01:48It's almost too terrifying to think about it.
01:01:51Less than 12 minutes, every animal completely absorbed.
01:01:54Except one.
01:01:56Gone, like quicksand.
01:01:58But this quicksand knows what it's doing.
01:02:00It's troubled its size in an hour.
01:02:02Do you know what this means?
01:02:04This is only a fragment of the main organism.
01:02:06If the same thing is happening to him at the same rate of speed,
01:02:09if absorbing those mice to do this,
01:02:11there is no living thing on earth that stands a chance against it.
01:02:15How do we fight it?
01:02:15How do we stop it?
01:02:17Hands off me, young man.
01:02:19Please remember that I'll come here of my own accord.
01:02:22Yes, yes.
01:02:22I'll come here to complain about something, what I saw.
01:02:25Okay, Rosie, you keep saying now.
01:02:26I refuse to divulge it to any common constable who has nothing guns to do all day,
01:02:31but sit on his big, flat fleet.
01:02:33On his big, fat fleet.
01:02:35No, no, no, come on, Rosie, old girl.
01:02:38Don't you want to call me.
01:02:39I'm young enough to be your mother.
01:02:42So what respectable woman do you want to be high down now?
01:02:45All right, constable.
01:02:46Here, I come in here of my own free war.
01:02:49I come here of my own bowling violation.
01:02:52Very glad we are to see you, Rosie.
01:02:54What can we do for you this time?
01:02:55I wish to make a report.
01:02:56Miss Rosemary, Elizabeth, Wrigley.
01:03:00What address this week?
01:03:01Oh, I'm temporarily visiting.
01:03:03Bow Street?
01:03:03With friends.
01:03:04Salvation Army, the Embankment.
01:03:07What did you see this time, Rosie?
01:03:08Oh, it was terrible.
01:03:10Shocking.
01:03:11It always is, Rosie.
01:03:12Just tell me what you saw.
01:03:13Boy, it's a bit of a thing if a young woman can't walk the streets of London
01:03:16with that creepy crawly being able to roam about as the police.
01:03:20What's the police force for if they're not to protect us from the likes of that?
01:03:23Come on, tell me.
01:03:24Tell me, what's the police force for?
01:03:26Rosie.
01:03:26Yes?
01:03:28Rosie, just tell me what you saw.
01:03:30And we of the London Metropolitan Police will do all in our power
01:03:33to see that it doesn't occur again.
01:03:34Is it when my voice went so dry that I couldn't even yell for a copper?
01:03:39I've still got this awful thirst.
01:03:41Makes it hard to remember.
01:03:43And water makes me as sick as a baby.
01:03:46Better be worthwhile, Rosie.
01:03:48After you, tell me.
01:03:51I was sitting in a doorway, I see.
01:03:54Because I wasn't feeling so well.
01:03:56And the doctor says that too much walking's bad for me legs.
01:03:59It's me legs, you see.
01:04:00You were sitting in a doorway?
01:04:01Just for a minute or two.
01:04:02When suddenly I heard a kind of rustling it was.
01:04:07Rustling?
01:04:08So I looked.
01:04:09And there at the end of the street,
01:04:11I saw something move.
01:04:13Something enormous.
01:04:15What move, Rosie?
01:04:16Well, I couldn't make out the shape properly.
01:04:19I used to make out the shape of these things.
01:04:22Think carefully, Rosie.
01:04:24Was it...
01:04:25Was it something?
01:04:26Was it walking quickly?
01:04:28Or slowly?
01:04:29Walking?
01:04:31It was kind of crawling.
01:04:33Up on a wall.
01:04:35Wasn't like any of the things that I see on Saturday nights.
01:04:38No, Rosie.
01:04:39I think this time you really saw it.
01:04:40Get me in the yard.
01:04:41Well, cancel it.
01:04:41This is a priority.
01:04:42Really saw it?
01:04:44You mean that this time it's not a halose...
01:04:46It's not a gin goblin.
01:04:48No, Rosie.
01:04:48This time it was real.
01:04:49Real?
01:04:51It's me legs!
01:04:53Hello?
01:04:54Scotland Yard?
01:04:55Yes.
01:04:55Inspector Lomax, please.
01:04:56Lomax here.
01:05:00Yes?
01:05:02Say that again?
01:05:05Get the commissioner right away.
01:05:11Hello?
01:05:12Yes.
01:05:13Yes?
01:05:15We'll be right there.
01:05:18Lomax.
01:05:21He said it climbed a brick wall 30 feet high.
01:05:24Lomax.
01:05:24Let's go.
01:05:25Let's go.
01:05:40And now.
01:05:41Yes, no doubt at all, he was here quite recently, too.
01:06:05The trail ends on the wall.
01:06:08Let me have that case up here.
01:06:10Get him as case, Sergeant.
01:06:11Send the car, please.
01:06:13Use the car radio.
01:06:15I want to call it around the entire area, evacuate all public, get information to check up every movement that's likely to take place inside this radius tonight.
01:06:21Yes, sir.
01:06:23Warn everyone not to touch anything unusual they may find in the streets or their gardens.
01:06:27Warn the children especially.
01:06:28Warn the children especially.
01:06:30Warn the children especially.
01:06:31Warn the children especially.
01:06:41Warn the children.
01:06:43Come on.
01:07:13It's got out.
01:07:24Look at the size of it now.
01:07:26It's our food.
01:07:27There's mice.
01:07:30Yes.
01:07:35But don't touch it.
01:07:35Look at those sporangia, spore-producing patches.
01:07:37If it had lived to complete this reproductive cycle,
01:07:39this room would have been a jungle of living temples.
01:07:41How many more of these things are there around London?
01:07:44I ain't going to find a Lomax.
01:07:45It's not a question of how many, but where are they?
01:07:48If it can reproduce at this rate,
01:07:50another 24 hours,
01:07:51a few days.
01:07:53Get me Scott on the yard quickly.
01:07:54Yeah?
01:07:55Well, suppose it had reached the mice.
01:07:58Yes.
01:07:59Yes, of course.
01:08:01The commissioner.
01:08:02They're getting him, sir.
01:08:03Right.
01:08:04Get hold of Evans.
01:08:05I want him to get out an anti-panic statement.
01:08:07I want it broadcast, televised,
01:08:08and printed in all the nationals.
01:08:10Yes, sir.
01:08:11Yes.
01:08:11I want every available man in the metropolitan area.
01:08:14Immediate search of parks, fields,
01:08:16undergrounds, and subways.
01:08:18Yes, sir.
01:08:18It's the quatimus experiment.
01:08:20I'm pleased you'll have to take it right to top level, sir.
01:08:21I need troops and the civil defense.
01:08:23Yes, sir.
01:08:24I'll be right up.
01:08:24I'll be right up.
01:08:54I'll be right up.
01:09:11Now, this is all we need to start the program with a swing.
01:09:14What's she talking about?
01:09:15Oh, no one must touch anything unusual they find on the streets.
01:09:17Don't panic.
01:09:18Just inform the nearest police station.
01:09:20They've been putting that out all day on the radio.
01:09:23Westminster Abbey.
01:09:24Yes?
01:09:26Standing by.

01:10:04Looks like a body.

01:10:10Hello?
01:10:12What goes on here?
01:10:32He fell from the scaffolding.
01:10:34He slipped.
01:10:34Dead before he fell.
01:10:36Dead before he fell.
01:10:37I shouldn't have at least got a strong stomach.
01:10:42It's practically a stick.
01:10:43Get the police.
01:10:44Yes.
01:10:45Yes, get the police.
01:10:46Well, go on with the program.
01:10:48It's up to you, sir.
01:10:49I'm all right.
01:10:50I think we'd better carry on on another part of the ante.
01:10:52Right.
01:10:53Pull that lot in over here, will you?
01:10:54Get a blanket or something in covering up.
01:10:56Come on, quick.
01:11:04It's quite a match.
01:11:05Right.
01:11:16All right, I want the whole abbey cleared.
01:11:17Public clergy, everyone, and quick.
01:11:19Please, it's not so loud.
01:11:20It's a transmission, Colonel.
01:11:21The transmission coming off.
01:11:22I want you all out of this place.
01:11:24Every second may count.
01:11:24The remarkable thing about this painting is that you have been interested in the camera.
01:11:29Inspector Alfred, the cameras?
01:11:31This is going all over England.
01:11:33It's an emergency.
01:11:34Get this stopped.
01:11:35Stopped?
01:11:35I can't stop it.
01:11:36Where's your producer?
01:11:37It's on the truck.
01:11:39Hidden under layers of paint and aged by the dust of time.
01:11:52Radio for reinforcements.
01:11:54I can see you on camera two.
01:11:58Stand behind the stained glass window.
01:12:01Camera three and scaffolding.
01:12:02Hold it.
01:12:03I'm Inspector Lomax.
01:12:04You've got to get two people out of the alley.
01:12:05Please.
01:12:05Coming on to you, camera three.
01:12:07Everybody in that building may be in deadly danger.
01:12:09We're on transmission.
01:12:10I'm going to you, camera one.
01:12:11Turn up as high as you can.
01:12:12Now...
01:12:12What in the name of...
01:12:17It must be 20 feet across.
01:12:21Q transmission.
01:12:23Camera one.
01:12:23Hold that short and lock off and everybody out.
01:12:27Hello.
01:12:28Hello.
01:12:28Presentation.
01:12:29Yes.
01:12:30You'll just have to carry on as best you can.
01:12:31We can't go on here.
01:12:32Yes.
01:12:33Yes.
01:12:34Fill in, will you?
01:12:34Ready for us, quick.
01:12:39In the throttle.
01:12:40We'll never let Abbey have a strike now.
01:12:45At the Abbey, there's an emergency.
01:12:47You saw it?
01:12:48We don't know what it is.
01:12:49Same pattern as the one in the lab?
01:12:51Only with 20 times the part of reproduction.
01:12:53Those nodules, if they get to spore this time, nothing will stop them.
01:12:56They'll break up.
01:12:56They'll spread by the medium wherever there's air and wind.
01:12:59How long before it starts reproducing again?
01:13:00Based on the last cycle, 80 or 90 minutes.
01:13:02And then within the hours, for every one, there'll be a million.
01:13:04It's coming, Lord.
01:13:05We've got to stop it.
01:13:06We'll need a miracle.
01:13:07Stop it now.
01:13:08We'll get flamethrowers.
01:13:09The parts of it might still escape.
01:13:10The whole of it must be killed.
01:13:11Dynamite.
01:13:12That would only spread it further.
01:13:13Stop moving.
01:13:16It's barely pulsating now.
01:13:19My timing was out.
01:13:20It's in its last dormant stage, just before it reproduces.
01:13:23It's changing again.
01:13:24The beginning of new spore produces in Zones.
01:13:26It doesn't.
01:13:26The way it's hanging there.
01:13:28We're out from the scaffolding.
01:13:30Frisco, I think we can stop it.
01:13:36What's now, Professor?
01:13:37That scaffolding inside.
01:13:38I want to run cables to it.
01:13:40That's half the main power line.
01:13:41I want to set enough corn into that steel to burn it up.
01:13:43We've got to keep pouring corn to it.
01:13:45We have to melt it right down to the ground.
01:13:46It's our only chance.
01:13:47I want every bit of corn in London diverted to here.
01:13:49You'll bring the city to a standstill.
01:13:51If that thing spores before we kill it, you won't have any city.
01:13:53I just hope you're right, that's all.
01:13:55I just hope you're right.
01:13:56Face!
01:13:58Attention, everybody.
01:14:19Attention, everybody.
01:14:20There is no cause for a love.
01:14:23I repeat.
01:14:24There is no cause for a love.
01:14:27Please do not frown.
01:14:29Unless you have a fickle business in this vicinity, please kiss first.
01:14:34Go back to your home.
01:14:35There is nothing to see.
01:14:37Go back to your home.
01:14:38Tell me.
01:14:59Go back.
01:14:59Go back.
01:15:01Come back.
01:15:02Come back.
01:15:33Hello, battle seat. Stand by.
01:15:57Switch on.
01:16:03Switch on.
01:16:33Switch on.
01:17:03Well, this time you won.
01:17:18In my simple Bible way, I did a lot of praying.
01:17:20One world at a time is good enough for me.
01:17:31Can we use it all up now, sir?
01:17:33Is it all right, sir?
01:17:54Wait a minute.
01:17:55Why wasn't I involved about all this?
01:18:00I've only just heard, sir.
01:18:01Might have been here sooner.
01:18:02Is there anything I can do?
01:18:04Yes, Marsh.
01:18:05Gonna need some help.
01:18:06Help, sir?
01:18:07What are you gonna do?
01:18:08Gonna start again.
01:18:09I can do I do?
01:18:13Come on.
01:18:17I didn't know.
01:18:27You
