00:30The End
01:00Moonbase Alpha Status Report
01:14342 Days After Leaving Earth Orbit
01:17Dr. Helena Russell Recording
01:19We have just survived our second encounter with a space warp.
01:24Central Computer states that we've been catapulted six light years from our previous position.
01:30We've had no casualties this time.
01:33Our population remains stable at 297.
01:36However, one of our life support systems was severely damaged.
01:41We have a survey eagle reconnoitering a nearby planet in an attempt to locate titanium,
01:47a rare metal needed to prepare that life support system.
01:59Entering the atmosphere now, Commander.
02:13Atmosphere breathable.
02:15We're in close visual contact with the planet.
02:20Fraser, any signs of life?
02:22No settlements, no life.
02:25Nothing, Commander, except volcanoes.
02:29Fraser, scan for mineral compensations.
02:31Scanner active.
02:32Stand by to lock it to main compute.
02:43Dr. Russell.
02:44Titanium.
02:51Heel one, return to base.
02:53Right, Commander.
02:53Right, Commander.
02:54Picard, import the location of the titanium deposits.
03:25Magnify.
03:29Fraser, there's a strange light coming off that planet.
03:32Give me a position.
03:33It's on your flight path.
03:36Get out of there.
03:40What is that thing?
03:41An energy weapon of some kind.
03:43Security alert.
03:44All standby crews to position.
03:46Rescue people.
03:47Starboard alert.
03:48Laser crews have got to position sometime.
03:54A base of action, Fraser.
03:56A base of action.
04:16Don't shake it, Alfred.
04:17Looked onto it.
04:18Come on, Fraser.
04:19Come on.
04:21Get off your tail.
04:22It's flying.
04:23It's flying.
04:32Do something, Alfred.
04:33Don't shake.
04:34Do something.
04:35Help.
04:37Help.
04:37Help us, Alfred.
04:38Help us.
04:41Help.
04:42For God's sake, help us, Alfred.
04:44Help us.
04:45Medical crew.
04:53Command center.
04:58I don't know.
05:00I do.
05:02I do.
05:03I do.
05:07I do.
05:08I do.
05:08I do.
05:10laser battery number one action combat eagle five in position combat eagle six in position
05:36there's got to be life on that product i've checked and double checked command that there
05:40is no life sign on the surface what about below the surface that planet is an environmental hell
05:46no life as we know it could exist down there commander koenig
05:59you know who i am who are you i am mentor of the planet cycon why did you attack our ship
06:07we came in peace you sent an armed ship to our planet and talk of peace that ship was a survey
06:15vessel searching for minerals we had no way of knowing your planet was inhabited it is a familiar
06:21argument commander the one that has caused the death of millions of our people other outsiders
06:26have used the same pretext to attack us in the past and we have suffered easy what's happened to my
06:32people come on how it does the pirates are safe come out but their eagle is beyond repair
06:39he said they're safe return my men mentor and we'll go in peace they're alive
06:43any bill is alive yes commander peace you have my solemn pledge that no hostile action will be taken by
06:51us and i accept your plan so let us arrange the return of your pilots send another eagle and i'll
06:58instruct you where to land
07:02no i i'm afraid that could cause further misunderstanding i suggest we rendezvous but in space
07:11it seems that you trust us as little as we trust you in our past history we've been betrayed too
07:16let us meet in space then commander you say that you need minerals very well send along a scientific
07:24officer to discuss the technical requirements and uh you shall have them that's very generous of you
07:30thank you incidentally one of your pilots suffered minor injuries so uh perhaps you could uh also send
07:38along a medical officer it will be done good i look forward to meeting you commander remember
07:50hello put eagle four on the pad ready for immediate liftoff and alan
07:57equip it with additional booster units
08:02booster units you're in a hurry to get out there aren't you
08:06i may be in a hurry to get back
08:10what do you think of these alfans meyer
08:23i like them father they're very attractive aren't they quite unlike any of the others
08:28they obviously come from a culture as similar to our own but uh not so advanced of course
08:40would i make a good outcome stop it meyer
08:45meyer
08:47i teach you the priceless out of molecular transformation and see how you use it foolish games
08:53oh father you only taught me because you knew i'd eventually master the art myself
09:06true you are clever mile but one day we must find a better outlet for your gifts i'd help in your
09:12work if you'd like oh no no no there is a great deal about the work that i do but you do not
09:17understand it yet oh oh not yet and these alfans will they help you to restore our planet yes my
09:25right now my dear run along
09:29prepare the alpha and pirates

09:56do you think you can handle it please doctor i feel much better than that
10:06well maybe it is better to keep busy now don't overdo it all right no i won't
10:22do you all right yes come on we'll bring him back thank you
10:41so
10:51so
10:55so
11:09They come, Meyer.
11:29They are men of honor.
11:30We're in position, John.
11:42Meddler, this is John Koenig.
11:45We're at rendezvous point.
11:47My ship will join you shortly, Commander.
12:00I want a full scan on that ship.
12:30Meddler, signal when you're ready for link-up.
12:47I repeat, signal when you're ready to dock.
12:56Meddler.
12:57John, there are no life forms on that ship.
13:00Fraser, Torrens, they're not on it.
13:03The ship is empty.
13:11We're picking up magnetic disturbance, Tony.
13:16We're losing altitude.
13:17Mentor's ship is radiating magnetic energy.
13:20He's using it like a magnet, pulling you down to his planet.
13:24Full power.
13:24Full power, Commander.
13:34We're still holding a vice.
13:38Boosters, half thrust.
13:47Boosters, three-quarter power.
13:48She won't take it.
13:51She'll break up.
14:05Boosters, full power.
14:07We're clear, Tony.
14:35We're returning to base.
14:37John, that ship, it's turning into a ball of light.

16:20Don't be alarmed, Commander.
16:22I'm never alarmed when I deal with a man of integrity.
16:25I see that you are angry.
16:28And I must admit you have cause.
16:30But please, bear with me, and you will understand.
16:33I'll understand what you want me to understand after I see my people.
16:36My actions are in both our interests.
16:38He's lying! Don't trust him, he's lying!
16:41Commander, we're being helped!
16:48Please forgive the interruption.
16:51Your pilot is in a feverish state.
16:53In that case, I want to examine him.
16:55You will, Doctor, in good time.
16:58Now please, remain in your ship until we contact you.
17:08Let's go.
17:17Let's make for that cave.
17:20Let's go.
17:29Let's go.
17:31Let's go.
18:05Keep on scanning, Sandra. They're down there somewhere.
18:18Look, I know they are down there, but I cannot get a reading.
18:21All we get is the planet's surface.
18:23Yeah. Our beam is bouncing off a scanner shield of some kind.
18:27We're not going to read anything they don't want us to read.
18:35Is she going to be all right?
18:37She will, as long as she knows that he is alive.
18:40I'm worried she's going to crack up.
18:43Be patient with her, Tony.
18:45They have only been married two months.
18:48Yeah.
18:48They have only been married two months.
19:18Tom Meyer, observe.
19:44An increase in Psyche's power levels. How?
19:51One of the Alphan pilots has been in Rathor with her.
19:54And this, this is the result.
19:57He agrees?
19:57Oh, yes.
19:58And there are no harmful spiders, then?
20:00None.
20:01But that's wonderful, Father.
20:04Will the rest of them help us, too?
20:05Yes, I'm sure they will.
20:07They are intelligent people.
20:19Lou?
20:21Titanium?
20:23Yes, it is.
20:24Oh, a few more hunks like this is all we need.
20:26Oh, a few more hunks like this is all we need.
20:56The way they move.
21:10The way they look.
21:12You're all behaving in the same way
21:16It must be some sort of brain damage
21:19Now we know what mentor meant by welcome
21:42Oh
22:12Torrance
22:16He doesn't know this
22:21John
22:25John
22:28Are you okay?
22:29It was a force field
22:42That charge was only set to stun
22:51Molecular transformation
22:55We've seen it in the spaceship and the balls of life
22:58Here it is again
23:00Surrender your weapons, Commander
23:12There is an energy screen around this image
23:14You cannot get through
23:16Lou
23:18How can we get past that energy screen?
23:22This image is only a communication circuit
23:24Laser energy might just be able to overload it
23:27I warn you, Colonel
23:28Any force you use will be turned against you
23:31I think I can neutralize it
23:34Lou, wait
23:35To resist is foolish
23:48Very well
24:05Bless you
24:06Bless you
25:23Wasn't that the idea?
25:25Oh, forgive me. I meant no harm.
25:28Your psychos are full of fun and games.
25:32Who are you?
25:33Maya.
25:34Mancha's daughter.
25:35His daughter?
25:42And your sister.
25:44Oh, I'm sorry. I should have warned you about the force field.
25:49Of course.
25:53Makes the rest of my party.
25:55Why are you so unfriendly?
25:57I've been lied to.
25:59Assaulted.
26:00Seen my people brutalized.
26:02Killed.
26:02Shall I go on?
26:03Well, obviously, Commander, you have not fully recovered.
26:06Mento betrayed us.
26:08Viciously destroyed.
26:09My father would harm no one.
26:14Come.
26:17He wants to see you.
26:18He wants to see you.
26:19He wants to see you.
26:20He wants to see you.
26:21He wants to see you.
26:21He wants to see you.
26:22He wants to see you.
26:23He wants to see you.
26:23He wants to see you.
26:23He wants to see you.
26:24He wants to see you.
26:24He wants to see you.
26:24He wants to see you.
26:25He wants to see you.
26:26He wants to see you.
26:26He wants to see you.
26:27He wants to see you.
26:27He wants to see you.
26:28He wants to see you.
26:28He wants to see you.
27:29Thank you, Commander.
27:37Not now, my dear.
27:39The Commander and I have important business to discuss.
27:42Father, the Commander's very unhappy.
27:44I want to be here when you explain.
27:46Don't worry, my.
27:46He'll understand.
27:47Psyche, Commander.
27:56A biological computer.
27:59The nature.
28:00The minds and bodies of those of our people who survived the disaster which overwhelmed us.
28:06Nature ran wild.
28:08Commander, where are my people?
28:10Study Psyche first, Commander.
28:13Our destinies are linked, you know.
28:16We'll determine our own destinies.
28:18You've seen this planet.
28:20A volcanic furnace.
28:22A true Psyche.
28:24I shall transform it.
28:25Change it back.
28:27To the beautiful world it once was.
28:29A world fit enough.
28:31For our civilization to begin again.
28:34All right, Mentor.
28:35You have a beautiful dream.
28:36I'll talk more about it after I see my people.
28:39Commander.
28:42Psyche.
28:43Psyche needs energy to complete its task.
28:47Energy that is only found in the minds of intelligent platforms.
28:52In other words, Commander.
28:54She.
28:57We need your alphans.
29:06There's creatures in the pits.
29:17Tons.
29:21You've fed their minds into that machine.
29:23There is no other energy source.
29:26I also need them to dig the metal.
29:28To Psyche's physical being.
29:29You expect me to submit my people to this obscenity.
29:44Your presence here in space has given me a chance.
29:49Perhaps my only chance.
29:50To make my world live again.
29:53Regretfully, you have no chance.
29:56You must submit.
29:58Oh, yes.
29:59Psyche has the power of molecular transformation.
30:04Mark only.
30:05Transform matter into any form or shape I choose.
30:09Observe.
30:11Your lunar landscape.
30:29Weapons section.
30:36We picked up a sudden energy charge of enormous thrust in the research area.
30:40Send out a unit to investigate.
30:42Yes, sir.
30:44Refuse what I ask.
30:46And I shall reduce your moon to ashes.
30:49You're right, Metro.
30:50We can't fight you.
30:53To your corporation.
30:55No, you're not reading me.
30:58Go ahead.
30:58Destroy the moon.
30:59Do you want me to bring down violent death on your people?
31:02At least they'll die quickly.
31:04I have the power, Koenig.
31:06And the will to do it.
31:07Destroy the moon and you defeat yourself.
31:11No moon, no elf.
31:12Do what I ask.
31:17You and your friends will be spared you.
31:20A place will be found for you on the new cycle.
31:23No.
31:27You, uh, wish to know about the rest of your party.
31:31In a few moments, their minds will be squeezed dry.
31:48And Psyche shall have them.
31:50There's still time, Commander.
32:15There's still time, Commander.
32:20There's still time, Commander.
32:50You win.
33:03Tony, it is coming from the planet.
33:09Punch it up.
33:12John, we've given you up.
33:15Commander, what's happening?
33:17Tony, I've got good news.
33:19We've made contact with the people down here.
33:22Our senses misinformed us about this planet.
33:24There are huge subterranean areas which are habitable.
33:27What's more, we've been given permission to settle here.
33:30I want you to evacuate Moon Base Alpha as soon as possible.
33:34Evacuate?
33:35I want you to ship our people down here at phased relays.
33:37He's selling out.
33:38Yeah, B.
33:39No, it was not something to do.
33:42But just like that.
33:44No study, no research.
33:46Just pack up and go down.
33:48Why are we doing it?
33:50Why is he resisting?
33:52Well, it is unusual procedure.
33:54Directive four.
33:56It empowers the commander to act in a situation like this.
34:00You will do as ordered.
34:01The evacuation procedure is all laid down.
34:04Signal when you're ready to land the first wave.
34:06Out.
34:06Thank you, Colonel.
34:16Commander?
34:35Commander!
34:36Ah!
34:36Helena, it was the only way out.
34:53You should be grateful.
34:54You earned your lives.
34:56The price is too high.
34:58Our survival.
35:01John, what about the people on Alpha?
35:03What about them, Commander?
35:05Now, look, you could end up like those creatures in the caves, but not me.
35:24Computer is refusing access to Directive 4.
35:27I will need the security code.
35:29I know what Directive 4 is.
35:36Well, at least somebody is happy.
35:48What is Directive 4?
35:52It's a coded signal.
35:53A clear instruction to destroy the place it originated from.
35:58Destroy the planet?
35:59But they are still down there.
36:02It's mandatory.
36:07And you will carry it out?
36:12Return to your position.
36:13anor, let's go.
36:37We've got the war on Alpha.
37:01There's no way out.
37:05You mean we just do nothing?
37:07We're trapped in here.
37:17Robot Eagle, ready to launch?
37:19Estimated time of arrival at attack position?
37:221520.
37:23Attack position?
37:24Maximum destructive power.
37:26When that Eagle hits Cyclone, there will be nothing left of the planet.
37:30What are you doing?
37:32The rain orders.
37:34You can't, Bill.
37:35Still down there?
37:36So is the commander and Dr. Russell and the rest of them.
37:38Are you going to destroy the planet?
37:41Directive four cannot be countermanded.
37:43What is directive four?
37:45Can't we double check?
37:47I could try and raise the commander and get clarification.
37:50John Koenig wouldn't give that order unless this base and all the people on it face destruction.
37:58Launch, Robot Eagle.
37:59Bill!
38:00No, Bill!
38:01No, no!
38:02No!
38:03No!
38:04Bill?
38:05Bill.
38:06Bill!
38:07Bill!
38:09Bill!
38:10In ten minutes, it'll be all over.
38:40Commander, one of your transporter eagles is on its way.
39:06Again, I want to assure you that you and your friends will not be harmed.
39:36Meyer, if you would, scan that eagle.
39:43No light forms.
39:50It's a robot device programmed to destroy Cyclron.
39:55Primitive.
39:56And how disgusting that the commander should descend to such deception.
40:01Don't confront him yet, my dear.
40:02Let him think that he has deceived you.
40:04I don't have your tolerance.
40:06Now, who is the betrayer, commander?
40:07Did you think that your childish trick would guard detected?
40:13Could we live in hope?
40:14Sending a robot needle to destroy this planet?
40:15You're a self-sacrificing fool!
40:16You're a self-sacrificing fool!
40:17And how disgusting that the commander should descend to such deception.
40:18Don't confront him yet, my dear.
40:19Let him think that he has deceived you.
40:20I don't have your tolerance.
40:22Now, who is the betrayer, commander?
40:23Did you think that your childish trick would guard detected?
40:28Could we live in hope?
40:29Sending a robot needle to destroy this planet?
40:30You're a self-sacrificing fool!
40:31I'm sorry I had to put you through a ringer, but I just couldn't take the chance of telling you.
40:34First, I shall destroy your eagle.
40:35Then your moon, commander.
40:36Mentor.
40:37Mentor.
40:38Mentor.
40:39That way we both lose.
40:40Let's negotiate.
40:41Negotiate?
40:42With a liar?
40:43No.
40:44No.
40:45No.
40:46No.
40:47No.
40:48No.
40:49No.
40:50No.
40:51No.
40:52No.
40:53No.
40:54No.
40:55No.
40:56No.
40:57No.
40:58No.
40:59No.
41:00No.
41:01No.
41:02No.
41:03No.
41:04No.
41:05No.
41:06Another.
41:07You disgust me.
41:09We welcome you as friends and you plot to kill us.
41:13What do you expect us to do?
41:14Stand by while Mentor destroys us?
41:16My Father is an honorable man.
41:18Why do you think he wants us here?
41:20You know why?
41:21Without help, he can't transform this planet.
41:23Other people helped us.
41:24Yes.
41:25Yes.
41:26And what's happened to them?
41:27We obtained happiness.
41:29Rapport with Psyche benefits everyone.
41:32Maya!
41:34That machine destroys people's minds!
41:35minds. Is there no vile thing you won't say against my father? Go down to the caves and
41:42see for yourself. Nobody's allowed down there. They're radioactive. Who says so, Mentor?
41:47There's nobody down there, I tell you. Maya, we've been there. Go and see. See what we've
41:52seen. Mindless hulks destroyed by your father. That's not true. Go and see. And then come
42:02back here and let us out so we can stop them. Maya, please, go and see. You're lying. Go
42:10and see. Go and see. You're lying.
42:32Go and see.
42:40Go and see.
42:46Go and see.
42:55Go and see.
42:59Go and see.
43:07Go and see.
43:11Go and see.
43:40Go and see.
43:43Go and see.
43:47Go and see.
43:49Go and see.
43:50Commander.
43:54Kronik!
44:00Alpha will be destroyed piece by piece.
44:03And you are the one who caused it.
44:09We've got to make a deal with him.
44:10He's a feeble against him.
44:12We can't stop him unless we get out of here.
44:14We've got to break that force field.
44:16Fire.
44:17Commander.
44:20What's happening?
44:32They're coming right through our defense shield.
44:34What was it?
44:35An energy bolt of enormous power.
44:37Launch eagles for full attack.
44:39I will.
44:40But I don't think anything is going to help.
44:43No.
44:45Neither do I.
44:46Miles, release the force field.
44:50He's going to destroy 300 more people unless we stop him.
44:57Promise that mentor will not be harmed.
44:59I want to stop him, not harm him.
45:07Alan, get to the east.
45:08Prepare for liftoff.
45:09Helena, you with Fraser.
45:11Get to the east.
45:12Let's go.
45:12Meyer.
45:25What are you doing?
45:29No, Commander.
45:31Come on.
45:32Police, like this energy will destroy the whole planet.
