00:05Last week, as you recall, we left Penny and Will Robinson watching from the safety of
00:10the Jupiter II as the final moments of a space experiment ticked off, an experiment that
00:16Will Robinson hoped might save them all.
00:20All personnel will leave launch pad area immediately.
00:32Launch pad area clear.
00:34Why can't we watch from outside?
00:36That rocket may be small, but there's enough hyper energy fuel in there for a real blast.
00:41Commence final countdown.
00:46I hope somebody finds your message this time.
00:49One of them's bound to land somewhere.
00:51This better be it. It's your sixth try.
00:53One more, three, two, one, liftoff.
01:09When will the rockets fire?
01:11At 1,000 feet automatically.
01:13Is that when the pull of gravity ends?
01:15No, but every bit helps. You're learning.
01:18What do you mean, learning?
01:20I know all about gravity.
01:22Come on, let's go see what my balloon's doing to it.
01:29Space probe altitude, 200 feet.
01:35Space probe altitude, 300 feet.
01:39It won't be long now.
01:41Where do you think it'll land?
01:43Shipwrecked sailors don't know where their notes and bottles will land when they toss them into the ocean.
01:47They just hope somebody finds them and gets the message.
01:49Space probe altitude, 500 feet.
01:53Space probe altitude, 700 feet.
01:57It'll fire any second now.
01:59Space probe altitude, 900 feet.
02:03Space probe altitude, 1,000 feet.
02:06What's holding it?
02:10What's holding it?
02:13Warning, warning.
02:16It's coming this way.
02:19Space probe, out of control.
02:22Ah! Look out!
02:23potrzeugee yeah.
02:35Oh, good day, never night, no water.
02:40Oh!
02:41Ah!
02:42Ah!
02:44Ah!
02:46Ah!
02:48Ah!
02:48Ah!
02:49Ah!
02:50Ah!
03:00¶¶
03:34It's okay, kids. Looks like the force bill saved our necks.
03:38Oh, I think that'll be enough of shipwreck sailor experiments for one day.
03:42I don't understand why it didn't fire. Next time.
03:46There isn't going to be any next time, Will.
03:48Next time for what, may I ask?
03:50Didn't you hear it?
03:52Hear what?
03:53The explosion.
03:54You people are so busy making noise and getting exactly nowhere with your shipbuilding activities
03:59that I've conditioned myself to hear nothing but the dinner bell.
04:03And it is almost that time now, isn't it, dear lady?
04:06Not for another two hours, Dr. Smith.
04:09The pain.
04:10Well, then, I have time to dictate another spool or two of my book.
04:15You're writing a book?
04:16I am.
04:18About what?
04:18The Social Psychology of Galactic Castaways.
04:22Very interesting, Dr. Smith.
04:24I assume that you've settled on a point of view.
04:26My own, naturally.
04:28Isn't that rather a narrow view, Dr. Smith?
04:31Not a bit.
04:32I happen to have the gift of seeing myself as others see me, and vice versa.
04:38That's confusing, especially the vice versa.
04:41Is it like ESP?
04:42It is knowing who are your friends, and who are your enemies.
04:51Remind me to buy that book.
04:53I might just sue him.
04:56If it ever gets to a publisher.
05:00Galactic castaways, huh?
05:19Well, we won't be making any noise around that propulsion unit for quite a while.
05:22Well, what's the trouble?
05:24I was hoarding our fuel like a miser for all the good it did me.
05:27We're fresh out.
05:28Well, how did that happen?
05:30I wonder.
05:32Smith!
05:34Get out here.
05:35Target, wait.
05:36I'm in the middle of the sentence.
05:37It'll be a death sentence if you don't get out here right away.
05:41I'm in the middle of the sentence.
05:43Have you no consideration for a man's creative process?
05:46All right, my friend.
05:47What did you do with it?
05:49Do with what?
05:50Don't try any evasions.
05:54Where did you hide the fuel that was in that chamber?
05:56What are you talking about?
05:57Do I have to beat it out of you?
05:59Smith, if you know where it is, you'd better tell us.
06:01I don't know, and that's the truth.
06:03You're asking for it, Smith.
06:05Don't hit him!
06:07I think I know what happened to that fuel.
06:09I must have used more than I realized on my...
06:12The shipwrecked sailor experiments.
06:15I guess so.
06:17Sorry, Dr. Smith.
06:19Oh, no.
06:22Which makes us galactic castaways forever.
06:49Where's Will?
06:50Oh, John, you mustn't go on blaming Will for it.
06:54He wasn't being destructive.
06:55He was only trying to help.
06:56Well, I'm not blaming him.
06:57I just wish he'd leave things alone
06:58and let Don and me take care of getting us out of here.
07:02All right, I know.
07:04We haven't been doing a very good job ourselves.
07:07Well, you're doing the impossible.
07:10You're keeping us alive.
07:14Maureen.
07:17What do you know about the fourth state of matter?
07:20The fourth state.
07:22And there's gas, solid, liquid, and, um...
07:28Plasma.
07:30Plasma.
07:31Like blood plasma.
07:33Well, in a way,
07:34except that it can be extracted from ionized nuclei and electrons.
07:38Now, our problem is to expand the plasma process long enough
07:42so we can get enough power for our purposes.
07:44I see.
07:45No, you don't.
07:47I'm not sure that Don and I do either.
07:49But if we succeed,
07:51we're going to come up with something like that biblical cruise of oil.
07:55An endless supply?
07:57Of what?
07:58Propellant.
07:59Enough to take us anywhere in this galaxy.
08:12All right.
08:13Turn on that plasma test engine.
08:21Fire when ready.
08:31It works! It works!
08:35Turn it off!
08:47Oh, John.
08:48Oh, that's marvelous.
08:50Maureen.
08:51You know something?
08:53One of these days,
08:53we're going to witness a perfect liftoff.
08:55Our own.
08:59Well, then, I guess it would be all right to say now
09:01that I never really did like this place.
09:04Oh, but I'll bet you'll miss it when we go.
09:06You want to bet?
09:09Come on, let's go tell Dr. Smith.
09:10Oh, Penny!
09:11He might not be too happy about it.
09:13Why not?
09:14Well, it means he won't get a chance
09:16to finish that book he's writing.
09:25The night sky is always so beautiful,
09:29no matter where you are.
09:31It's more beautiful if you've chosen where you are.
09:35Have you chosen?
09:39Well, if it works,
09:40and we could get the Jupiter 2 into space,
09:44there is one place we should try for.
09:47Alpha Centauri.
09:50Yes.
09:52That always was our destination.
09:55All opposed?
10:00All in favor.
10:07And strange though it may seem
10:09to the dweller on our bounteous and hospitable Earth,
10:12the galactic castaway is likely to be afflicted
10:15by a form of insanity
10:16which distorts his values
10:18and urges him to prefer
10:19the hostile and uncharted wastes of deep space
10:22to the comfort and security of Earth.
10:25In the case history of the family R, for example,
10:28a family which it has been my lot
10:30to observe scientifically at first hand,
10:32we have the absurd and utterly illogical resolve
10:36to continue on a voyage into space
10:38which can only end in even worse disasters
10:41than these they have already endured.
10:44In instances such as these,
10:46it is force alone
10:47which can help galactic castaways
10:49recover their sanity.
10:56There.
10:58Splendid, Zachary.
11:00Splendid use of the language.
11:01As always.
11:07Let them go wherever they wish,
11:10but not before they've taken me home.
11:15You're the hardest working astronaut I've ever met.
11:18And plumber, gas station attendant,
11:20fixer-upper, and radio announcer.
11:23Oh, and you're not such bad company either.
11:26Well, I'm sorry I'm not better company tonight.
11:29Maybe when we get going.
11:31All right.
11:33When we do.
11:34Is there any doubt?
11:36Oh, I don't know.
11:36This propulsion unit has to be tested
11:38at minimum thrust
11:39before I can take a chance on feeding it enough
11:40to get us off.
11:41Oh, when will that be?
11:44We might try it in the morning.
11:46I'm sure it's going to be all right, Don.
11:53No one goes any closer to the ship
11:54than where they are now
11:55until you get a clearance from the flight deck.
11:57Is that understood?
11:58Are all these time-wasting tests
12:00and precautions really necessary?
12:01Why can't we simply lift off
12:03and be done with it?
12:04We'd be back on Earth
12:04before you can say
12:06John Robinson.
12:10Dr. Smith,
12:11in the first place,
12:12testing is not time-wasting,
12:14as you would readily admit
12:14if you were not so impatient.
12:16In the second place,
12:17our destination
12:18is definitely not Earth.
12:20I see.
12:21Well, it is mine.
12:23After you've dropped me off,
12:24you people are free
12:25to roam at will
12:26wherever you please.
12:27I shall be happy
12:28to discuss the proper arrangements.
12:30There's nothing to discuss.
12:32Jupiter 2's destination
12:33is Alpha Centauri.
12:35End of discussion.
12:36Indeed.
12:39We'll test for power
12:40and then thrust.
12:41First the ore and retro rockets,
12:42then the main thrusters.
12:44Full power?
12:45I'm afraid not, Will.
12:47not enough to lift us
12:48higher than the belly of an ant.
13:00All systems go?
13:01Your wishful thinking's showing.
13:03No, just the power systems go.
13:05Oh, I'm sorry,
13:06but I'm a little bit shaky
13:06about this one.
13:08So am I.
13:14Power on.
13:18Phase cycle,
13:20400 and steady.
13:21Check.
13:22We'll hold it there.
13:25How does it sound to you?
13:27Music.
13:31Flick fire on starboard.
13:32Coming up.
13:33Hold your breath.
13:46We'll try a two-second thrust
13:47on retro now.
13:55I'm going to recommend
13:55that our astronauts
13:56be given the order of merit
13:57when we get back to Earth.
13:59We're not going back to Earth,
14:00Dr. Smith.
14:02Don't be stubborn, my boy.
14:04I think they're going to test
14:05the main thrusters now.
14:08Advancing phase cycle to 1,000.
14:11Ready.
14:12And waiting.
14:15Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
14:26go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
14:29go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
14:29go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
14:30go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
14:32go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
14:59Well, back to the drawing board.
15:01Worked all right, up to 800 cycles.
15:02Oh, that's great. That got us about six feet off the ground.
15:05There's got to be some way we can embrace the power.
15:07What's that supposed to make?
15:08Your persistence is admirable, Major,
15:10but your competence is non-existent.
15:13How would you like a punch in the nose?
15:15I even question your ability to do that.
15:17Just a minute. Hold on.
15:20Dr. Smith, right now, morale's very low around here.
15:23We don't need any cracks from you to make it worse.
15:25If you haven't anything constructive to say, keep your mouth shut.
15:28I'm sorry.
15:29Perhaps I was just a little subtle for Major West's intelligence.
15:33There was nothing subtle in what you said, Dr. Smith.
15:36Perhaps I'd better explain.
15:37I was merely trying to goad him into proving how competent he really is.
15:42Yeah?
15:43Well, if that's the way you treat galactic castaways in your book,
15:46you'll be the only one who ever reads it.
15:48That remains to be seen once you get us off this obnoxious planet.
15:52Can you give me any idea when that's likely to be?
15:55Once we make some more tests, I'll let you know.
15:57Dad, you know those baby rockets I sent up with those SOS messages?
16:02Well, how can I ever forget those?
16:03Well, couldn't we build a small space vehicle and float it up on a balloon?
16:07And maybe there'd be enough plasma fuel to get it out into space.
16:10It'd be kind of like people who are shitwrecked building a raft.
16:13And it'd be a lot more difficult than that.
16:15Anything we made would have to be completely airtight
16:17and be able to stand tremendous acceleration.
16:21The reactor chamber.
16:23Sure, the reactor chamber.
16:24Maybe we could pull it out of the engine room and rebuild it.
16:26How big would that be?
16:28Big enough for one.
16:29Maybe two.
16:30Oh, two.
16:31By all means, two.
16:33You and I, Major.
16:35I can't think of a more useless payload than having you along, Dr. Smith.
16:39Are you really going to do it?
16:41Why not?
16:42And fly it?
16:44Well, I don't see anyone issuing any orders, so I guess I'll volunteer.
16:54The contamination gear checked?
16:56All set.
16:57You ready?
16:58Go.
17:20I still get a slight reading on the Geiger counter.
17:23Give another shot.
17:32All right.
17:33Yeah.
17:36That did it.
17:38Well, Professor, would you like to be the first to step aboard the SS space raft?
17:42All right.
18:20Well, let's go.
18:37Your first possible fix will be Procyon.
18:40The spectrometer will give you an automatic check.
18:42And if it is Procyon, the IGS will take you to Earth from there.
18:46And while all this is happening, I'll be playing solitaire.
18:49If you take me along, we can play chess.
18:51Oh, now, Will, we've been through all that.
18:53Can't blame a guy for trying.
18:56And we'll more than likely lose contact with you within the first 30 minutes of your flight.
19:00Well, that's only if I accelerate at full power, though, right?
19:02Well, I think it's vital you do.
19:03My calculations for Procyon are based on that.
19:07Anything else?
19:09Well, you've got about 14 hours before liftoff.
19:12I suggest you sleep through every one of them.
19:14And missed breakfast?
19:17Don.
19:24There, um...
19:24Well, there may not be time to say very much in the morning, but...
19:28Well, and I'm not going to embarrass you by saying very much right now.
19:32But I do want you to know how we all feel.
19:36And until we see you again,
19:38then you won't be out of our thoughts and our prayers for a moment.
19:43Thanks.
19:58I take it that you're thoroughly familiar with what is necessary to release that bag of wind out there.
20:03Thoroughly familiar with bag of wind right here.
20:07Do you mean me?
20:09Affirmative.
20:10Very funny.
20:12Do you or do you not know how to release that balloon?
20:16Affirmative.
20:17Now, what does that mean?
20:18Affirmative expresses agreement with the two terms of a proposition in logic.
20:23Spare me your flip remarks.
20:25Do you know how to cut loose that vehicle on command?
20:29Affirmative.
20:30Let me see.
20:32Suppose we use the command,
20:35cast off.
20:36How would that be?
20:39What are you doing?
20:40Let me go, you ninny.
20:41You're hurting me.
20:44Really?
20:47I didn't need so vivid a demonstration, old boy.
20:53In an hour or so,
20:54you and I have an appointment to keep.
21:03Come in.
21:07Your light was on, so I...
21:09Oh, uh, well, I couldn't sleep.
21:11Sit down.
21:16Judy.
21:20I'm not sure I'll be able to say goodbye to you in the morning.
21:23Why not?
21:25It might be too difficult.
21:28So I thought I'd better say goodbye to you now.
21:31With this.
21:33But don't open it now.
21:37Thanks.
21:38I mean, I know what it is.
21:42The tape I made.
21:44But don't listen to it more than once.
21:46It might get monotonous.
21:49I'll let you know when I get back.
21:52You'll be back.
21:54I'll let you know when I get back.
22:29Will, don't call out, my boy. Everything's perfectly all right.
22:32Dr. Smith, what are you doing in there?
22:35Come in. I'll tell you all about it.
22:42This ship is supposed to be off-limits to everyone but Dad and Don.
22:46How'd you get past the robot?
22:48The robot? Ah, yes, the robot.
22:51Well, you don't suppose he'd have let me in without raising him?
22:53It would be a fuss if I didn't have permission for Major West.
22:56To do what?
22:58Well, what do you suppose a man in my position would be asked to do?
23:02Well, check on the life support system, I guess.
23:06Precisely. And that's exactly what I was doing when you arrived.
23:09Is everything okay?
23:10In perfect order. One minor check of the reserve atmospheric system
23:15and everything will be ready for cast off.
23:17You said cast off.
23:25What's happening?
23:35Don't do that.
23:36We've got to let them know.
23:38There's nothing they could do except shoot us down.
23:40And I don't think they'd do that.
23:42No, I'm afraid we may be at the mercy of space.
23:46Unless, of course, we get back to Earth,
23:48where our instruments are automatically set to take us, I believe.
24:16As much as Will wanted to go, I...
24:17I just can't believe he'd take off like that.
24:19Well, even if it was Smith's idea, Will shouldn't have gone wrong with it.
24:22I don't know how it happened, but it's possible he had no choice.
24:25Well, it doesn't matter who is responsible.
24:27The important thing now is, will they be safe?
24:30Well, if they keep it on the automatic control and don't change the setting,
24:33they'll have the same chance that I'd have had.
24:35And if something goes wrong?
24:37Well, they have their backup systems.
24:40Maureen, Will was in on every phase of its construction.
24:43Now, I've got to trust him to know what to do in an emergency.
24:47Well, I just wish he'd radio to let us know that they're all right.
24:50Well, they're probably too far out by now.
24:54I'll try and reach him again.
24:55All right, please, let's...
24:57Let's go ahead and reach him again.
25:00Let's go ahead and reach him again.
25:07Here we go.
25:25We're calling Jupiter II.
25:27We're calling Jupiter II.
25:27Come in, Jupiter-2. Do you read me, Jupiter?
25:31Signal if you do read me, Jupiter-2. Please, Jupiter.
25:35Naughty, naughty.
25:41I'm your commander, and I've ordered radio silence.
25:44As your commander, I could clap you in irons for disobedience.
25:47Some commander. You don't know that gyroscope from a flux gate.
25:50The use and identification of hardware can be safely left to the nuts and bolts mentality
25:54of space mechanics like Major West.
25:56As a commander, my concern is objectives, not objects.
25:59I was just trying to let them know that I was all right.
26:02I don't want them to worry about me.
26:04Commendable, but entirely unnecessary.
26:07I guess you enjoy knowing that they're worried.
26:09Certainly not. Besides, why do they worry?
26:12This vehicle was designed, built, and set for a journey to Earth automatically.
26:15We're doing exactly what Major West would have done.
26:18I'd rather be with my folks.
26:20I won't stand in your way. As soon as we've landed, you can be a passenger on the first ship
26:24back.
26:27I could do with a bite to eat. Will, could you reach me a sandwich?
26:38What's that?
26:39I don't know, but it's coming in awful fast.
26:42Let's get away from it.
26:44If I do that, it'll change our course and we'll never get anywhere.
26:47What will we do now?
26:49We? I thought you were the commander.
26:52I appoint you First Officer. Take over, Mr. Robinson.
26:56And I rely on you to get us away from whatever that is on the double.
27:04See anything?
27:08Over there.
27:10It's a planet.
27:12A planet?
27:13And you're headed straight toward it.
27:16Oh, no.
27:17Oh, don't just sit there.
27:18I couldn't bear to be trapped on another one of those dismal...
27:24Will.
27:25It couldn't be.
27:27It isn't possible.
27:29What isn't possible, Doctor?
27:31Will!
27:34That's Earth.
27:35Look.
27:36The American continent.
27:38It couldn't be Earth.
27:39We haven't been traveling long enough.
27:41Nonsense.
27:42Who knows how long we were asleep.
27:44Or how fast we were traveling, for that matter.
27:47I don't recognize any of those stars.
27:49Or any other planets in the solar system.
27:51Obviously, we're traveling too fast.
27:53We whizzed right past them.
27:55Look, Will.
27:56The Great Lakes.
27:58We've automatically homed for Earth.
28:01And that's exactly what we're going to do.
28:03Land on Earth.
28:04Look sharp, Mr. Robinson.
28:07Prepare for a landing.
28:08And make it soft.
28:17Firing retro rocket.
28:34Hold on.
28:35We're gonna hit.
28:53You can open your eyes now, Doctor.
28:58Have we landed?
29:00Thirty seconds ago.
29:03Ah.
29:04A very nice landing, my boy.
29:07Thanks.
29:07But you can't go out there.
29:09On my own native soil?
29:11Why not?
29:12Because we're not sure it is your native soil
29:13until we've checked out its atmosphere.
29:15All right, my boy.
29:17Go play with your toy.
29:35We've got plenty of oxygen and nitrogen.
29:38Naturally.
29:39We're on Earth.
29:40It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen.
29:43I can only be sure.
29:46Look, then, if we are on Earth, the first thing we're going to do,
29:48is contact Alpha Control.
29:50And spoil the fun we'd have walking in on them unannounced.
29:54My dear boy, where is your sense of drama?
30:09Ah.
30:12Breathe it in, my boy.
30:14The sweet fragrance of home.
30:18Do you know where we are?
30:19In the Dakotas or Wyoming, by the look of things.
30:22Badlands country.
30:23We'll pack a small lunch and we'll head south.
30:26Now, let's see.
30:27Which way would that be?
30:29That way.
30:30If this is really Earth.
30:32Trust your dear, Doctor Smith, my boy.
30:34I know every inch of this country.
30:35The continental divide there.
30:37The Great Missouri River to the north.
30:39Pikes Peak to the south.
30:41We'll head for the nearest highway
30:43and thumb a ride to the first comfortable hotel.
30:46I'll go pack lunch.
30:47Good.
31:19Come on, my boy.
31:20Come along.
31:27We should have come to a highway by now.
31:29We've been walking for hours.
31:31This is a big country, my boy.
31:32Much of it still as it was when the buffalo roamed this prairie.
31:36I've never seen anything like that on a prairie.
31:42We don't have plants like that on Earth.
31:44And we haven't seen anything in the sky.
31:46Not even a bird or a mosquito.
31:48Just that.
31:49A harmless but overgrown specimen
31:51of the common or garden variety of skunk cabbage.
31:55Right now, I'd be happy just to see a skunk.
31:58Doctor Smith, I don't think we're on Earth at all.
32:01You're just a bit nervous, my boy.
32:02Or perhaps a bit of space sickness after our ride.
32:06I'll prescribe something for you when we get to a drugstore.
32:09It isn't space sickness, Doctor.
32:11Then what is it?
32:13Homesickness, I guess.
32:15But this is home.
32:17Suppose it's not.
32:19Suppose it's just another unknown planet like the one my parents are on.
32:23That means you and I are the only ones here.
32:25And we'll have to go on living here forever, maybe.
32:28I'll probably live a bit longer than you,
32:30because I'm not as old as you are.
32:32Bully for you.
32:33But until then, you're the only person I can rely on.
32:37Do you mind?
32:39Do I mind what?
32:40Well, watching out for me, like you were my father.
32:44Seeing that I don't get into trouble,
32:46and I don't forget to eat or get lost or something.
32:50Do you mean you actually want me to look after you?
32:54I don't have anyone else, Doctor.
32:56I'm sure you'd be pretty good at it.
32:59Do you really think so?
33:03Of course, I haven't had too much experience with children.
33:05It usually comes natural to a grown-up when there's someone young around.
33:09I suppose it does.
33:11I never really thought about it.
33:13Don't.
33:14Don't what?
33:15Think about it.
33:16Just sort of roll with the punches.
33:19I understand.
33:24If you're tired, I can carry you piggyback.
33:27Thanks.
33:28But I guess I can make it on my own.
33:30Good boy.
33:31Come along.
33:54Come along.
33:56Dr. Smith, I don't think this leads anywhere.
33:59We're going south, aren't we?
34:01I guess so.
34:02Then all we have to do is keep going.
34:04It can't be more than a mile or two to the first signs of human habitation.
34:07There's a population explosion here, remember?
34:10It doesn't look like it exploded anywhere near here.
34:18Well, it seems as though we've come to a dead end.
34:21Never mind.
34:22We all make mistakes.
34:23We'll detour around it.
34:38Look at what's happening.
34:41I told you it's been living anywhere.
34:44And now we can't even get out.
34:47Ah!
34:48Ah!
35:07I'm sure someone's receiving us.
35:09I can't get anything out of them but that steady call signal.
35:12Well, try voice again.
35:14This is Jupiter 2.
35:15This is Jupiter 2.
35:16Do you hear me?
35:21What is your position?
35:27It must be on this planet.
35:28But where?
35:31Don, get the flying belt.
35:32Check the area north of the ship.
35:34Maureen and I will cover the south area in the chariot.
35:35Right.
35:37I know it's foolish to think this but I keep hoping that it is Will.
35:42I hope we all remain that way.
35:44Just foolish enough to believe that it is Will.
35:51Have you cut through yet?
35:53I can't even make a dent in it.
35:55Here it's your turn.
35:59No wonder the edge is blunted.
36:02It wasn't when I started.
36:03That stuff's like Durasteel.
36:04There's only one way out of this.
36:06We'll have to tunnel under.
36:08With our bare hands?
36:10Certainly not.
36:11Start with this.
36:15You got us into this mess hijacking that spaceship.
36:18You start.
36:34You get up.
36:36Oh, no, no, no.
36:58Will!
37:02Will.
37:03Will, if you read me, come in.
37:05Will.
37:15Will, come in. If you hear me, hear me.
37:24Let me drive for a while.
37:30Will, Will. Will, Will.
37:32Will, Will.
37:34Can you drive me?
37:35Can you hear us, Will?
37:37Answer if you hear me, hear me.
37:39Will! Will! Will! Will! Will!
37:48Will! Will! Will!
37:52Will! Will! Will!
37:58Look at what's happened.
38:00I guess that's all they needed, is a little digging.
38:05Very poor reward for all our work.
38:07Maybe all this place needs is someone to do a little work on it.
38:10I'll bet if we cultivated these vines and weeded them and everything,
38:14they'd begin to get moist and soft and we could get out.
38:17Gratitude is not a characteristic of vegetable matter, my boy.
38:20It's a form of life, and even if it can't speak, it knows what's good for it.
38:23I am interested only in what is good for Zachary Smith.
38:26You're telling me.
38:28Indeed.
38:29You have the bottle opener. Get on with the tunnel.
38:36You may be right about vegetable matter not being grateful, Doctor.
38:40Of course I'm right.
38:41I don't know what kind of vegetable matter these vines are made of,
38:44but the way they hemmed us in, it looks as if they want us to stay
38:47and take care of this place forever.
38:49That's certainly not what we want, is it?
38:52Continue digging the tunnel.
39:04You still think we're back on Earth?
39:13There's an open transmitter out there.
39:15Now, there must be some way to zero in on it.
39:17Otherwise, we could go on searching like this for days.
39:20If we only had some kind of portable RDF gear,
39:23we could get a fix on it by triangulation.
39:26Say, wait a minute.
39:28How about the space theodolite?
39:30We better be able to get some kind of direction signal from that.
39:34Gee, we might be able to.
39:35I'll get it out and take it out to the point with me.
39:37I'll call you from there if I get any kind of a fix at all.
39:38All right.
39:46I guess I was right.
39:47That bush creature wants to stay here and take care of his place.
39:51But those flowers are beautiful.
39:53They're an abomination.
39:54So is that bush bun, whatever you call it.
40:01I wish he'd show himself so I could find out what he expects of us.
40:05A lifetime of labor in his vineyards, then death, I suppose.
40:09Well, one thing for sure.
40:11If he expects us to stay here, these berries would better be good to eat.
40:18Hmm.
40:20Like cranberries.
40:21I guess we could live on these a long time.
40:23That is, until we find something else to grow.
40:25Have some.
40:27No, thanks.
40:32I guess I wouldn't mind staying here a while.
40:34A couple weeks or so, anyway.
40:37There are only some way of letting my mom and dad know I was all right.
40:40Is that all you can think about?
40:42Your parents?
40:44Yes.
40:46Especially when I guess right now all they're doing is thinking about me.
40:55John.
40:56I'm getting the same signal up here.
40:58Loud and clear.
40:59Can you get a fix on it?
41:00Yes.
41:01We're working on it right now.
41:03Listen, to save time, make your way on up to the oasis.
41:05We'll rendezvous there.
41:06Right.
41:09Well, then you know the general area.
41:11Yes, but I think we'll need another fix to pinpoint it.
41:13I don't think it's too far from that first weather station we set up.
41:18What are you doing?
41:22Why are you destroying them?
41:23Because it's something you said.
41:25You said if we cultivated the vines, they'd become soft.
41:28Give me a hand.
41:29We'll be out of this in a minute.
41:35They won't budge!
41:37Tell them this creature I'll say.
41:39I'll work my fingers to the bone.
41:40I'll pull out every weed.
41:41If only he'll let me loose!
41:42I don't know how to talk or what to say!
41:44Say anything!
41:45Anything!
41:45Just get me out of here!
41:48What's that he dropped?
41:49It's the radio!
41:50Can't you see?
41:50What is that matter now?
41:54I'm calling Jupiter 2!
41:55Come in, Jupiter 2!
41:56Do you read me?
41:57Come in, Jupiter 2!
41:59Stop fooling with that radio and get me out of here!
42:01Come in, please, Jupiter 2!
42:03Is that you, Will?
42:05What is your position, Will?
42:06Do you hear me?
42:07It's Dad!
42:09Dad, this is Will.
42:10We're in some kind of a funny ravine.
42:12I don't know where it is, though, and we're trapped in it.
42:15We located the ship.
42:16You did?
42:17Now listen carefully.
42:18Which way did you head after you left the ship?
42:21The Buffalo Lands.
42:22Tell them to look for the Buffalo Lands.
42:23The prairie!
42:24I heard that.
42:25I think I know which way to go.
42:27You'd better hurry, though.
42:28Dr. Smith got himself all tangled up.
42:30That's for sure.
42:31And keep him tangled.
42:33But there's this funny bush creature who's...
42:35He signed off.
42:37Get me out of this.
42:38What'll probably happen now is,
42:40when Don lifts off and heads back to Earth,
42:42he'll probably take you with him.
42:44You really think he will?
42:45As his prisoner.
42:47If that's the case,
42:48I'd much rather stay here with that bush creature.
42:54I'm free.
42:56Will.
42:57Will, look there.
42:58We can climb out on those vines on the other end.
43:01Look!
43:01He's coming after us!
43:06Maybe you'd better keep your promise.
43:07No, I will not.
43:08Let's hurry!
43:40whew!
43:42Ah!
43:44Ah!
43:52Will!
43:56Boy.
43:57It sure was easier getting in this place than it was getting out.
44:00Well, with trouble, that's usually the way it is.
44:02I kept telling Dr. Smith we couldn't be on Earth,
44:05but he wouldn't believe me.
44:06And I made a good landing so Don won't have any trouble going back to Earth.
44:10I don't think that Don's going back to Earth.
44:12Why not?
44:14For the same reason you didn't.
44:15Not enough power.
44:17You went into an extended orbit around the planet,
44:19but you couldn't break free of its gravity.
44:21I knew it all along.
44:23I'll bet.
44:24You just knew the ship didn't have enough power.
44:27Right?
44:29Right.
44:30And, uh, where were you thinking of going?
44:34Just a little pleasure up.
44:36I thought Will was deserving of it for his brilliant suggestion.
44:43Well, gentlemen, back to my book.
44:55Let's go.
45:09We shouldn't be gone, boys, in a couple of days.
45:11It's just a question of setting out the individual relays over the right area.
45:14It'll be like a giant dish antenna 20 miles wide.
45:17I still don't see why I can't go.
45:19What good would you do?
45:20We'd only have to keep looking out for you all the time.
45:23Well, that will do.
45:25Maybe next time, honey, huh?
45:26Well, let's go.
45:27Well, let's go.
45:28Step on it, Smith.
45:29We haven't cut all day.
45:30Indeed and indeed.
45:31This is monstrous, monstrous.
45:33I am a man of science and litters, not a beast of burden.
45:36Oh, but it's so good for this old doctor.
45:38You may rest assured, Professor, that despite your petty anger, I shall do everything in my power to protect your
45:44loved ones while you're away.
45:45Do us a favor, Smith.
45:46And don't do us any favors.
45:52Bye-bye.
45:53Bye.
45:53Bye.
45:54Have a safe trip.
45:58Bye, Will.
46:03Bye.
46:05Bye.
46:05Bye.
46:18Don really didn't mean what he said, Dr. Smith.
46:20Don't worry, my dear.
46:22I can find it in my heart to forgive him.
46:24Now, first of all, we have to set up a watch for the night.
46:27May I suggest three four-hour shifts?
46:30You will take the first one.
46:31You will have the second.
46:32And you will have the...
46:35On second thought, then maybe we should have two six-hour shifts.
46:41Yes, I think that would be much better.
46:45All right.
46:46Come on.
47:16I'm not sure we should have left Smith back there.
47:19I'd like to have him right here where I keep an eye on him.
47:22Knowing Maureen, I'm sure she can handle him.
47:26Will, turn the robot on.
47:28There's some data I want to feed it.
47:29Sure thing.
47:31Danger.
47:32Danger.
47:33Danger.
47:34Danger.
47:35Do you see something?
47:41No, nothing.
47:42der.
47:46H.O.V.
47:53H.O.K.
47:56M.E.E.A.
47:56h.O.K.
47:59H.O.K.
48:00H!O.K.
48:08Will, are you all right?
48:10I'm all right.
48:34I'm all right.
49:14I'm all right.
