00:00:18Since the splitting of the atom only a few decades ago, and through his God-given genius of science,

00:00:25man, at last, has succeeded in penetrating further and further into the unknown vastness of space.

00:00:33The moon has become the launching base for advanced exploration.

00:00:37From this pivotal point, astronauts, at the risk of their lives, set out to conquer nature's mysterious forces.

00:00:45Yet many questions remained unanswered.

00:00:48What is his Earth in relation to the inconceivable number of other worlds?

00:00:53Is his speed truly the fastest, his achievements the greatest?

00:00:59Or is he a mere unimportant piece of driftwood floating in the vast ocean of the universe?

00:01:06Could there be life similar to our own on other planets?

00:01:10Is it not possible that atmospheric conditions of relative environments control their shapes and forms?

00:01:17If so, would they be giants?

00:01:21Or could perhaps the opposite be true?

00:01:24Could their intellect have reached a scientific level far above man's dreams?

00:01:30What then will the future reveal?

00:01:33If this story you are about to witness is only the beginning.

00:01:54Log entry.

00:01:55Pegasus 3, March 16, 1980.

00:02:00Captain Leonard Pilate, Lieutenant Webb Navigator.

00:02:04This is the seventh and last day of space reconnaissance research, Flight 361,

00:02:09from United States Air Force Lunar Base 1.

00:02:12We are 21,000 miles from base, bearing at 270 degrees, 2-3 minutes.

00:02:22Azimuth at plus 46 degrees, 4-6 degrees, 5-0 minutes, ecliptic.

00:02:31On routine successive approximation by trajectory computer using data from the space position recorder.

00:02:41It's quiet and lonely out here.

00:02:43And frankly, we'll be happy to get back to that dreary old moon.

00:02:53We're almost a degree off trajectory, Captain.

00:02:56Equipment check's okay.

00:02:57Must be an outside acceleration for us.

00:03:06Something approaching fast.

00:03:09I'm setting up auto-evasive battery.

00:03:11A large planetoid object is on a direct collision course with us.

00:03:16We are under 11 G's exterior acceleration and have no control whatsoever.

00:03:35We're going to hit.

00:03:38We're going to hit.

00:03:39Ah!

00:08:58YOU KNOW CAPTAIN

00:09:00EVERY YEAR OF MY LIFE

00:09:01I GROW MORE AND MORE CONVINCED

00:09:04THAT THE WISEST AND BEST

00:09:05IS TO FIX OUR ATTENTION ON THE GOOD

00:09:07AND ON THE BEAUTIFUL

00:09:10AND YOU'LL JUST TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT IT

00:09:12Yes, some guy, McConaughey.

00:09:14Lunar Base One to Pegasus Four.

00:09:16Lunar Base One to Pegasus Four. Can you read me?

00:09:20This is Pegasus Four to Lunar Base One.

00:09:23This is Lieutenant McConaughey.

00:09:25Colonel Lansfield for Captain Chapman.

00:09:28Chapman standing by.

00:09:30Anything out there, Frank?

00:09:32Nothing, Colonel.

00:09:33It's almost too quiet.

00:09:36Well, keep alert.

00:09:37And don't waver off your course one degree,

00:09:39unless you think you're on to something.

00:09:40And if you do get on to something, report at once.

00:09:44Yes, sir.

00:09:45Pegasus Four to Lunar Base One. Over.

00:09:48Out.

00:09:50I hope whatever was out there is gone now.

00:10:00What's our last time from base?

00:10:0214 hours, 22 minutes and 30 seconds.

00:10:05You could stay up here another 14 hours and still see nothing.

00:10:08Even 1400 hours.

00:10:11That's about all we can do, though.

00:10:13Are you sure we're still on course?

00:10:15Why?

00:10:16Oh, I have an idea.

00:10:18Turn to 278 degrees azimuth.

00:10:22Whole 47 degrees ecliptic.

00:10:24Yes, sir.

00:10:25Changing course to 278 degrees azimuth.

00:10:28Whole 47 degrees ecliptic.

00:10:32Lansfield tells us to charter the same course Pegasus Three took.

00:10:36Well, that's fine, but I don't think we'll get anywhere.

00:10:39This strange planet dashes about like it's supposed to.

00:10:42It figures we won't find it around here.

00:10:44So we're changing course.

00:10:47Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.

00:10:50Precisely.

00:10:51You with me?

00:10:51Like I said, you're the captain.

00:10:54I'll make a new reading.

00:10:55Thanks, Ray.

00:10:57Thanks.

00:11:09Well, you could go nuts out here just waiting for something to happen.

00:11:16You seem pretty much at ease.

00:11:19Well, I figured it's just the same as fishing.

00:11:21Gotta be patient and wait.

00:11:26Electrostatic meter's going haywire.

00:11:28Lunar base one to Pegasus Four.

00:11:30Can you read me?

00:11:31Over.

00:11:32Pegasus Four to Lunar Base One.

00:11:34We read you.

00:11:35Over.

00:11:36You are completely off course, Pegasus Four.

00:11:38Check your position immediately.

00:11:41Heat computer and spectrometer out.

00:11:44Pegasus Four to Lunar Base One.

00:11:46We are aware of being off course.

00:11:48Cannot explain at present.

00:11:50We are entering a heavy magnetic field.

00:11:52Several instruments are out and I'm afraid others are going.

00:11:55Give us our exact position.

00:11:57Over.

00:11:58Pegasus Four, you are...

00:12:01Cannot hear you, Lunar Base One.

00:12:03Over.

00:12:07Changing to the magnet control.

00:12:11Meteor.

00:12:21Meteor.

00:12:22Boy, that wasn't below us.

00:12:23Yeah, and I'm afraid it isn't over yet.

00:12:33We're on a semi-closing course with them.

00:12:36Stream One's fading fast.

00:12:37What about the infrared detector?

00:12:39That's out too.

00:12:40The only thing we can do is turn it 90 degrees to the shower's path.

00:12:43More meteors are coming, it's our only chance.

00:12:45That will be to 311 degrees azimuth and minus 12 degrees ecliptic.

00:12:55Here they come.

00:12:57This is it.

00:13:13Looks like the worst is over.

00:13:15Don't see a lot of spots.

00:13:16Those are ionized trails.

00:13:18They'll persist for a while.

00:13:19Well, let's hope for those tracks.

00:13:21If these instruments out, there won't be any way to tell if they're coming from another

00:13:25direction.

00:13:26The trick now is to get back to the moon.

00:13:29I think we'll make it.

00:13:32Yeah.

00:13:34Okay, Ray, let's go through a type B check.

00:13:36Type.

00:13:38Cabin pressure?

00:13:3920.

00:13:40Coming up.

00:13:41Retroport?

00:13:44Positive.

00:13:45Retro starboard?

00:13:47Positive.

00:13:48Main circuit one?

00:13:53Negative.

00:13:54Main two?

00:13:57Negative.

00:13:59Let's try the auxiliaries.

00:14:02Main one?

00:14:05Negative.

00:14:06Main two.

00:14:12That's not in the circuits.

00:14:14No, the meteors must have smacked into the propulsion elements.

00:14:17Our feed lines.

00:14:18Yeah, we're lucky.

00:14:20Well, there's only one way to find out.

00:14:23Looks like it.

00:14:31There's one thing sure.

00:14:33What's that?

00:14:34They knew what they were doing when they forced us to go through those space drills dozens

00:14:37of times.

00:14:38If I remember correctly, you had a different opinion.

00:14:41Here, I'll rub it in.

00:14:42Sure.

00:14:49Here, come on.

00:14:51Whoa!

00:14:53Mahal!

00:14:53Ah!

00:14:56.

00:15:03.

00:15:10.

00:15:11.

00:16:19This looks like it.

00:16:22The retro rocket feed lines must be cut.

00:16:43Frank, your airline's broken.

00:16:46Frank!

00:17:01Frank!

00:20:54Frank!

00:22:25I'm going to try to land.

00:22:28What exactly will I be looking for?

00:22:31A floating space monster?

00:22:33No joke, chaplain.

00:22:34I wish it were.

00:22:55I wish it were.

00:23:51I wish it were.

00:23:56I wish it were.

00:23:58I wish it were.

00:24:00I wish it were.

00:24:02I wish it were.

00:24:32I wish it were.

00:24:54I wish it were.

00:25:04I wish it were.

00:25:34I wish it were.

00:25:49I wish it were.

00:26:04I wish it were.

00:26:08I wish it were.

00:26:27I wish it were.

00:27:12I wish it were.

00:27:14I wish it were.

00:27:39I wish it were.

00:28:12I wish it were.

00:28:24I wish it were.

00:28:33I wish it were.

00:28:45I wish it were.

00:28:47I wish it were.

00:29:14I wish it were.

00:29:17I wish it were.

00:29:23I wish it were.

00:29:27I wish it were.

00:29:30I wish it were.

00:29:40I wish it were.

00:29:52I wish it were.

00:29:55I wish it were.

00:30:08I wish it were.

00:30:29I wish it were.

00:30:37I wish it were.

00:30:40I wish it were.

00:31:08I wish it were.

00:31:29I wish it were.

00:31:33I wish it were.

00:31:37I wish it were.

00:31:39I wish it had

00:31:39have creatures larger or smaller according to the size of their world.

00:31:44Do you feel any different?

00:31:45No, but it's not exactly funny to think that someone on Earth could care me about in their

00:31:49pocket.

00:31:50Oh, that would never happen.

00:31:52The oxygen in your atmosphere would restore you immediately to your regular size.

00:31:58But either way, it wouldn't matter.

00:32:00You'll never see your world again.

00:32:12Nothing yet?

00:32:13No, sir.

00:32:14No contact for two days.

00:32:17I'll wait another 24 hours.

00:32:19Then, with or without orders, I'm sending out a search party.

00:32:26You wanted to see me?

00:32:28Yes.

00:32:30Will you excuse me?

00:32:36We must talk about your future.

00:32:39Your future on Rayton.

00:32:41My future on Rayton?

00:32:42I want to talk about getting back to my world, back to Earth.

00:32:47I'm afraid that is impossible.

00:32:49You might as well accept your fate.

00:32:52Your fate of being one of us.

00:32:54Being one of us?

00:32:56You must be productive in one way or another.

00:32:59Well, what is it you want me to do?

00:33:01You must help us to keep spaceships from your world from landing here.

00:33:05But that's my only hope of getting back.

00:33:06Jack, forget about it.

00:33:10Two ships in my unit disappeared.

00:33:13Did they crash here?

00:33:14Unfortunately, yes.

00:33:16They were pulled into our strong gravitational field.

00:33:20Well, so was I.

00:33:22Yes, but luckily, we were aware of your approach.

00:33:25And lowered the power on our gravity field.

00:33:27I don't get it.

00:33:30In many ways, you're hundreds of years ahead of our science.

00:33:33Yet you live in such a primitive manner.

00:33:36It may not be as odd as it seems.

00:33:40It's true that our technology may be much further advanced than yours.

00:33:45But then, strange thing happened.

00:33:47What was that?

00:33:48We had machines to do all our work.

00:33:51People on Rytown became completely free of all labor.

00:33:56Practically of all responsibilities.

00:33:59Our people became soft and lazy.

00:34:02They did not know how to cope with their free time.

00:34:06They started to fight amongst themselves.

00:34:08That's very interesting.

00:34:10Many people on earth are beginning to face the same problem.

00:34:13Too much free time, too little work.

00:34:17Problem not at all unique in the history of the universe.

00:34:21Well, what happened on Rytown?

00:34:23Our forefathers then made a wise decision.

00:34:26They returned to, as you say, our primitive ways.

00:34:31The Rytowns again had to toil for their living.

00:34:35They became much stronger.

00:34:38Much happier.

00:34:40Much more valuable.

00:34:41But you didn't forsake all of your scientific achievements.

00:34:44No, we retained the secret of the gravity control for our survival in space.

00:34:50And the secret of our food production for our survival on this barren planet.

00:34:56You sacrificed advancement for this.

00:35:00Sessom rules us and we are content.

00:35:03Now, can't we get on with this, Sessom?

00:35:06Aaron is hasty.

00:35:08We all are.

00:35:10Our lives have been changed so much.

00:35:13But I would like you to become acquainted with our ways.

00:35:18Later, you may choose a wife.

00:35:21Liara.

00:35:22Or Zeta.

00:35:23Zeta cannot speak.

00:35:25But she is a fine woman.

00:35:27Well, between the two, it would be difficult to make a choice.

00:35:32It is no problem.

00:35:34You may take your time.

00:35:36But once you've made your choice, remember, it must not be taken lightly.

00:35:43You must be hungry.

00:35:45Come with me.

00:35:47Liara.

00:35:48Go now and learn our ways.

00:35:51And perhaps you may help us with our problems.

00:35:54You can decide about this later.

00:35:56Now you need to eat and rest.

00:36:15This is good.

00:36:17What is it?

00:36:18I think it's the equivalent of your breadfruit.

00:36:21We made it chemically for you since nothing grows here on this planet.

00:36:24Oh, here.

00:36:26Drink this.

00:36:27It's good for you and it will help to make you rest.

00:36:30You need it.

00:36:31Say nothing grows here.

00:36:33Then how do you exist?

00:36:35Well, our bodies are so constructed that we need very little food because of the air we breathe.

00:36:43Feeling better now?

00:36:46I hope so.

00:36:47Well, yes.

00:36:49But I'd like to get out of here.

00:36:52You're a strange one, Frank Chapman.

00:36:55I'm a strange one.

00:36:58What about everybody else?

00:37:00And don't call me Frank Chapman.

00:37:03My name is Frank Chapman.

00:37:05Two words.

00:37:07Yes.

00:37:09Frank Chapman.

00:37:11Oh, I'm sorry.

00:37:12I didn't mean to be so rough.

00:37:14It's just that this is so new to me.

00:37:17You know what I'd like to do if I had a choice?

00:37:19What?

00:37:20I'd like to return to my ship.

00:37:23Well, that's impossible.

00:37:26Then you see, I'm still a prisoner.

00:37:27Not at all.

00:37:29You're free to go anywhere here on Riton.

00:37:32Except to my ship.

00:37:34Your rocket is no longer on this planet.

00:37:37It was sent off last night while you were sleeping.

00:37:50I cannot read my position.

00:37:53I'm going to try to land.

00:37:55I don't think I'll make it.

00:37:57If I do, I'll continue recording.

00:38:01This is Captain Frank Chapman.

00:38:03Pilot.

00:38:04Thanks to support.

00:38:06Our ship is being drawn toward an asteroid.

00:38:09Instrument's completely out of operation.

00:38:11Navigator McConaughey.

00:38:13Lost.

00:38:23Sir, unidentified object on screen.

00:38:28This must be Chapman Ship, Colonel.

00:38:30Certainly has all the indications and all the characteristics of a spaceship.

00:38:34And no other unit of ours is scheduled for flight in this area.

00:38:37Any contact?

00:38:38Non-ternals.

00:38:39Just static.

00:38:40His auto-emergency transmitter should be on full blast.

00:38:44I'm tuned to all Pater's frequencies, sir.

00:38:46So are the automatic relays on Earth.

00:38:49Good.

00:38:49This must be Chapman Ship.

00:38:51What else can it be?

00:38:52Captain Beecher and Lieutenant White are to report to the briefing room immediately.

00:38:55And stand by for takeoff.

00:38:57Now report immediately.

00:38:58Any news or anything unusual on your radio and radar relay.

00:39:01Yes, sir.

00:39:09The rescue ship is in the countdown phase, sir.

00:39:12They're waiting for your final operation orders.

00:39:14What a system ready.

00:39:15Let me through to the captain of the rescue ship on launching.

00:39:21Beecher, this is Lansfield.

00:39:24Yes, Colonel.

00:39:25Beecher, your final instructions are being teletyped on your recorder.

00:39:29Yes, sir.

00:39:30As you know, something unusual must have happened to Chapman and McCona.

00:39:35And I don't mind telling you that it's of greatest importance to space travel

00:39:38that we find out exactly what happened to these two men.

00:39:41So blast off and good luck.

00:39:44We'll do our best, Colonel.

00:40:14We'll do our best, Colonel.

00:40:42We'll do our best, Colonel.

00:41:15Take care.

00:41:15We'll do our best, Sergeant.

00:41:16I'm going to try to land.

00:41:18I don't think I'll make it.

00:41:20If I do, I'll continue recording.

00:41:26This is Captain Frank Chapman.

00:41:29Pilot.

00:41:30Pegasus Ford.

00:41:31Our ship is being drawn toward an asteroid.

00:41:34The instrument's completely out of operation.

00:41:37Navigator McConaughey.

00:41:39Lost.

00:41:44Pegasus Ford to Lunar Base One.

00:41:46Pegasus Ford to Lunar Base One.

00:41:48This is Captain Beecher. Over.

00:41:50Lunar Base One to Pegasus Ford.

00:41:52We read you, Captain Beecher.

00:41:54Good work.

00:41:55Stand by for Colonel Lansfield.

00:41:57Beecher, how are they?

00:41:58They're not.

00:41:59I mean, there's no one on board.

00:42:02There isn't a sign of life.

00:42:04Two men just don't get up and walk off a rocket in the middle of space?

00:42:08No, sir.

00:42:09Then what the devil?

00:42:11Chapman recorded a final message, sir, but it doesn't make sense.

00:42:16Our rep row units are picking it up.

00:42:18We're examining it.

00:42:19Can you bring her in?

00:42:21I'll have to check out the instruments, but I think so.

00:42:25All right, give it a try.

00:42:26White can bring your ship in.

00:42:27Yes, sir.

00:42:29And Beecher.

00:42:30Yes, sir.

00:42:31Good luck.

00:42:46I can't work under these conditions.

00:42:51I must know more about the directional flight machine.

00:42:53When the time comes.

00:42:55Well, the time has come.

00:42:57I want to speak to Cesson.

00:42:59And right now.

00:43:01Very well.

00:43:16Father, Frank Chapman wishes to speak with you.

00:43:19Do you want to talk about Liara?

00:43:22That isn't what I came here to discuss.

00:43:25Our work has reached the stage, and I need to know more about your gravity control.

00:43:31It is too soon.

00:43:32Now, how do we know he's not a spy for the solarites?

00:43:36You're too distrusting, Heron.

00:43:40All right.

00:43:41You may see it.

00:44:02Incredible.

00:44:04But how?

00:44:05The high density of our planet made it possible for us to advance gravity and, therefore, antigravity theories.

00:44:13It's beyond me.

00:44:15Einstein was working on this problem, but he died before he could complete his investigations.

00:44:20What causes Rayton's high density?

00:44:23The atoms on this planet have narrower electronic orbits than the atoms on most other planets.

00:44:29The smaller they become, the easier it is for us to control and take advantage of positive and negative gravity.

00:44:37But why is Rayton getting smaller?

00:44:39This planet is slowly using up the energy that holds the atomic particles together.

00:44:45You mean you might disintegrate into nothing?

00:44:47Yes.

00:44:48Someday.

00:44:50But it will not be in our time.

00:44:52Well, I guess it's the same as on Earth.

00:44:54We don't seem to worry that our sun might be cooling off in many millions of years.

00:44:58The danger for us is that sudden bursts of concentrated heat directed on our Rayton might suddenly speed up the

00:45:05process of time.

00:45:07You think that's possible?

00:45:08We have enemies who want our knowledge of gravity and who know our weakness.

00:45:13You're expecting an attack?

00:45:14When you have enemies, you always expect an attack.

00:45:35And there are no complaints where we don't have any attack on them from left.

00:45:39But this woman cannot help the 1999 named Joyce Booteceov.

00:45:39that has very embarrassed.

00:45:43Well, we're going to be there,

00:45:58I'm going to take a walk.

00:46:01Go join me.

00:46:04Come on.

00:46:12You know, this is the first time I've had a chance to talk to you alone.

00:46:36How is it you're more different than the others?

00:46:40I don't mean your silence, I mean you're warmer, more sensitive.

00:46:47That wasn't really a question, because I know you can't answer.

00:46:52I just wanted you to know how I feel.

00:46:56Strange world.

00:46:58I don't want to hurt Leona.

00:47:01You don't either, do you?

00:47:06I'd like you.

00:47:26I have charges to make against the Earthman Chapman.

00:47:30He is imposing himself, both only are your daughter and the mute girl Zeta.

00:47:35Now, this is an insult to Liara.

00:47:37You know I love her.

00:47:39And a direct insult to me.

00:47:41I am asking.

00:47:42Rather, I am demanding your permission to challenge him to the duel.

00:47:58You sent for me?

00:48:01Yes.

00:48:02I have reports about you that are not good.

00:48:06That you're causing much trouble.

00:48:08What am I supposed to have done now?

00:48:10You are forcing your attentions on Liara, and then on the mute girl Zeta.

00:48:14That's not true.

00:48:15Why don't you ask them?

00:48:16He lies.

00:48:17Siren.

00:48:18Is it true?

00:48:20Has he forced himself or his attentions upon you?

00:48:25Why would she admit it?

00:48:27Perhaps she's afraid of it.

00:48:29Being mute, she's unable to defend herself.

00:48:32Maybe she's protecting me.

00:48:35Listen, I'm not going to be put on trial or questioned by you or anyone else for something I haven't

00:48:40done.

00:48:40You know, buddy, I don't like you.

00:48:43Maybe it's a carryover from Earth and not good taste.

00:48:45But I'd like to hang one on you.

00:48:47Chapman.

00:48:49Harren has challenged you to the duel of Brayton.

00:48:53Do you accept his challenge?

00:48:55A duel for what?

00:48:57What kind of a duel?

00:48:59This guy doesn't look very honest to me.

00:49:01A duel of bravery.

00:49:06You know, Mr. Sesson, maybe this duel business is a good idea.

00:49:10Might clear the air a little.

00:49:12So how do we go about it?

00:49:21Aaron, you know the rules for the duel of Brayton.

00:49:26But for him, I'll have to explain and show the results.

00:49:30Chapman, come here.

00:49:35Those are gravity plates that we've had placed here.

00:49:38Their intensity is so high that any object or any person placed on any one of them

00:49:45would immediately disintegrate.

00:49:48Here, let me show you.

00:50:09The duel of Brayton is one of physical strength and skill.

00:50:14You will use this rod and attempt to push your opponent on top of one of the gravity plates.

00:50:23You saw what happened to the rock.

00:50:30Get ready.

00:50:37Put the combat rod in position.

00:50:45Put the axiom and I'll punch you to the next.

00:50:50Get ready.

00:51:17At my signal, you will start the duel.

00:51:21There can be no quarter called, and no quarter given.

00:51:25The fate of the victim is in the hands of the victor.

00:51:30The moment has come.

00:51:32At my light signal, you will proceed.

00:52:12Let's go.

00:52:20Let's go.

00:52:38I don't want to kill you.

00:52:39I never did.

00:52:50I don't want to kill you.

00:53:17I don't want to kill you.

00:53:20In this case, killing him would have accomplished nothing.

00:53:23But Heron wouldn't have shown you mercy.

00:53:25He'd have killed you because he wants me.

00:53:28But I don't love him.

00:53:30I love you.

00:53:32If you'd felt anything for either one of us,

00:53:34you could have stopped this duel.

00:53:36What?

00:53:37You know what I think?

00:53:38I think you were waiting to see which one of us won

00:53:40and then take the one that was left over.

00:53:42Why?

00:53:43No, Liara.

00:53:43I don't love you.

00:53:44I don't even know if I like you.

00:53:47But let me tell you this.

00:53:49You can't make someone love you.

00:53:52It's got to come naturally.

00:53:54You can't force it.

00:53:55You can't command it.

00:53:57If you do that, you'll never find it.

00:54:00This whole thing is like a nightmare to me.

00:54:03I miss my people.

00:54:05Well, I've got to make some attempt to get back.

00:54:08And if you feel anything for me, you'll try to help me.

00:54:13Well, perhaps you're right.

00:54:19Maybe I can help you.

00:54:46As you said, I don't want to kill you.

00:54:52You know, I think I could understand your somewhat quaint language

00:54:54if I were on your earth a little.

00:54:56Why don't you kill me?

00:54:58You didn't kill me.

00:55:00You had the chance.

00:55:01Well, what about the knife?

00:55:02This isn't exactly what I'd call a friendly visit.

00:55:10If you help me,

00:55:13I have a plan whereby I might help you to leave our planet.

00:55:16Perhaps it will work.

00:55:17I don't see how this is possible.

00:55:19What about my size?

00:55:23I inspected your giant suit.

00:55:25And the oxygen tank holds air from your own world.

00:55:28Now, isn't that right?

00:55:29Yes, of course, but why not?

00:55:30No, never mind that.

00:55:31That's not important.

00:55:33You see, the whole plan is based on the theory

00:55:36that your people are searching for you.

00:55:39Now, I must get you back before they attempt to find you here.

00:55:42I know they've been searching and will eventually zero in on this planet.

00:55:47I think I can get you back in time.

00:55:50Yes, but...

00:55:53You're doing this because of Liara, aren't you?

00:55:57Yes, I am.

00:55:58I'm in love with her.

00:56:02I don't think she loves me yet, but...

00:56:05Perhaps with you gone, she will see things in a more realistic light in time.

00:56:09Well, how can we get my suit into the open?

00:56:12I have some men I can trust.

00:56:14Incessant?

00:56:15No.

00:56:17You must never know.

00:56:19Otherwise, we both will be put to death.

00:56:24Two nights a week I'm alone.

00:56:26A complete charge of the Master Control Center.

00:56:28Can one man handle it?

00:56:30Yes.

00:56:31And on one of those nights in the near future while Sesame is sleeping,

00:56:35I will maneuver Raytown within a distance of the Earth's moon.

00:56:38You think they'll be able to see us?

00:56:40Precisely.

00:56:41They will investigate and find you.

00:56:53Go with her.

00:57:00What is this?

00:57:03What's happening?

00:57:05The siren means we're being attacked.

00:57:07Attacked by whom?

00:57:11Attacked by whom?

00:57:13The solarites.

00:57:15We've been here too long. They've discovered our position.

00:57:17Who are the solarites?

00:57:18I have no time to explain.

00:57:20I'm a self-sessor.

00:57:24What will this do to our plans?

00:57:28Despite this offer, no one will have any plans.

00:57:31Is everyone on the ground?

00:57:33Yes.

00:57:34Let me go.

00:57:35Let me go.

00:57:56They're safe for the moment.

00:57:59I fear they won't give up so easily.

00:58:02Safe for the moment?

00:58:03Well, who are these solarites, anyhow?

00:58:06They're from a sun satellite.

00:58:09For generations, they've been after our universal gravity control...

00:58:12because they want to avoid being pulled into the sun.

00:58:15If we don't stop them, they'll eventually attack your Earth.

00:58:22Liara, show him the prisoner.

00:58:24Prisoner?

00:58:25Come.

00:58:47Well, that's a solarite.

00:58:49Yes. It was captured during the last war.

00:58:52The only one of their monsters that didn't die in the attack.

00:58:55When did this attack take place?

00:58:57Several years ago, when Zapha was a little girl.

00:59:00That's when she lost her voice.

00:59:05What makes those rocks disintegrate?

00:59:09It's as if they were hitting some invisible wall.

00:59:12That's exactly what it is.

00:59:14The monster is so strong that he would smash in the ordinary structure.

00:59:18Now, what you call an invisible wall is really another way that we use our gravitational control.

00:59:25Now, by using a high magnetic field, we can lock molecules so closely together that they form a solid wall.

00:59:33And make a big hit at MIT.

00:59:35Where?

00:59:36One of Bruce's more advanced centers of learning.

00:59:40I only hope your wall will hold him in check.

00:59:45Yes.

00:59:46He could kill us all if he escaped.

00:59:49Life on other planets.

00:59:51And we were always wondering if ours was the only one so blessed.

00:59:55There are many inhabited worlds.

00:59:58But only these fire people bother us.

01:00:10We have been sighted by the enemy.

01:00:12They are forming a concentrated attack.

01:00:15Pattern six.

01:00:16Vernier index.

01:00:17One, two.

01:00:18Six?

01:00:19They never attacked on that one before.

01:00:27What are we going to do?

01:00:28We must try to break up the attack.

01:01:24We must try to break up the attack system.

01:01:25There are many different attacks.

01:01:26We must try to break down the horse and assist.

01:01:45it's fantastic we can do one of two things outrun them or fight them breaking up a formation is one

01:01:53thing but how can you fight them do you have a chance we have to settle that once and for

01:01:58all

01:01:58living in constant danger isn't worthy of us don't forget we still have the gravity control

01:02:05the greatest danger to us is the high intensity heat bomb right they have enough concentrated

01:02:12heat to blow up our planet instantly what would you do i would fight and you

01:02:22fight right that's exactly my decision prepare for battle sharp acceleration for attack position

01:02:42maneuver so that we face the enemy when they attack

01:02:54heron alert our unit to be ready for frontal attack all units to tail for frontal attack

01:03:23so

01:03:31so

01:03:36Oh, my God.

01:04:17Activate the gravity curtain.

01:04:41Oh, it was a magnificent victory.

01:04:44But I'm deeply plagued with regret when I'm forced to destroy.

01:04:49If it wasn't them, it would have been you.

01:04:51Perhaps you are right.

01:04:53You're a wise chapman.

01:04:55One day you and Harrod will lead our people.

01:04:58Well, I'm ungrateful, but...

01:05:00I will teach him all he needs to know.

01:05:11Well, where's Zeta?

01:05:20Well, she went to sleep early.

01:05:21Sleep?

01:05:23I'm very tired.

01:05:24Perhaps the battle was too much of a strain on me.

01:05:28Good night.

01:05:29Sleep well, Theran.

01:05:29Good night, Theran.

01:05:30Good night.

01:08:54Oh, Father!

01:08:56Oh, Father!

01:08:58What happened to him?

01:08:59I think it was the solarite.

01:09:01Are you all right?

01:09:02I...

01:09:03What happened?

01:09:04I don't know.

01:09:06Was it the solarite?

01:09:07Did you see him?

01:09:08It was terrible.

01:09:40I'm going to the solarite.

01:09:41I'm going to the control room.

01:09:41No, you stay where we are.

01:09:43I'll...

01:09:44Chapman!

01:09:45Yes?

01:09:48Go through that corridor.

01:09:49It's shorter.

01:09:51You'll be careful.

01:09:51I'll be all right.

01:09:53I'll be all right.

01:09:53Oh, Aaron.

01:09:55Oh, Aaron.

01:09:56Oh, Aaron.

01:10:01Nathan, are you all right?

01:10:04I'll be all right.

01:10:23Hey.

01:10:24Watch the plates.

01:10:25O Year's.

01:10:39Here's...

01:10:40O year's.

01:10:45Oh, my God.

01:11:17How's this?

01:11:19It will be all right.

01:11:20Leora's with him.

01:11:21I'm glad.

01:11:22You still wish to return to your world?

01:11:24Yes, but...

01:11:24Well, then tonight's the best time.

01:11:26See, the chaos of battle has brought us closer to your moon than we've ever been.

01:11:29There'll be a simple task to maneuver Rayton slowly and steadily even closer,

01:11:32and the risk will not be so great because the travel time will be short.

01:11:35And we'll be well within the range of moon's radar.

01:11:38Yes, but we cannot go unnoticed.

01:11:40Now, as soon as we're within range of your moon,

01:11:42my men will carry your suit out into the open.

01:11:45Now, if your people come to investigate,

01:11:47we'll pull them into our gravity and direct their landing.

01:11:49Meanwhile, you will enter your suit,

01:11:52seal it up so that you're not exposed to our atmosphere,

01:11:54and I'll arrest you no.

01:11:56Where shall I meet you?

01:11:58In the control chamber.

01:11:59Someone will come for you.

01:12:10Latha.

01:12:12It's you.

01:12:13Yes, Frank Chapman.

01:12:15But you can talk.

01:12:17From my fright when I thought you were going to be killed,

01:12:20something happened.

01:12:22And after I screamed,

01:12:23I found I was able to speak.

01:12:26Latha.

01:12:28I have many things to say to you, Frank Chapman.

01:12:31It's so wonderful you being able to talk.

01:12:34And I have so many things to say to you.

01:12:37Oh, everything has been terrible.

01:12:42They're so lovely.

01:12:44You have such an adorable little face.

01:12:59Isn't it strange?

01:13:02Here in this place,

01:13:03I've found perhaps what I've been looking for all my life.

01:13:07And I must leave.

01:13:10Alone.

01:13:11Everything within me wants to stay.

01:13:15It's my solemn duty, Elaine.

01:13:18You understand that, don't you?

01:13:23Frank Chapman, I've been in love with you

01:13:25since the first time I saw you.

01:13:27And I've never been able to speak a word of it until now.

01:13:32But as I know,

01:13:34my love for you is so strong.

01:13:37So,

01:13:38I also know that

01:13:39you will leave.

01:13:40I must leave.

01:14:09Good.

01:14:09You're on time.

01:14:11Here we go.

01:14:15Another hour,

01:14:16and we shall be close enough

01:14:17for you to be found.

01:14:34Lunar base one to rocket ship 380.

01:14:36Over.

01:14:37This is rocket ship 380

01:14:39to lunar base one.

01:14:41Over.

01:14:41Radar has just picked up a giant asteroid.

01:14:44Identity unknown.

01:14:45Cannot find any record of it in the space chart.

01:14:48The Phantom Planet.

01:14:49Give us exact position of asteroid.

01:14:52Nine degrees in northern Clusterfield.

01:14:54And I have an order from Colonel Lansfield.

01:14:56You are to land on this asteroid

01:14:59and send White to investigate.

01:15:03I...

01:15:05I hope you will find happiness back with your people.

01:15:08You would be my happiness.

01:15:11Here or there.

01:15:14Frank Chapman, please.

01:15:17You must take the stone.

01:15:20It will be a good luck, child.

01:15:23Hold on to it.

01:15:24It will help you to go back safely to your people.

01:15:28Keep it.

01:15:30Keep it.

01:15:31And remember, Max.

01:15:34I love you.

01:15:35Yes, Santa.

01:15:37I'll keep it forever.

01:15:42We just confirmed it.

01:15:44A rocket similar to yours is heading in our direction.

01:15:47I hope it won't crash.

01:15:48Don't worry.

01:15:50I have the best men on gravitation control.

01:15:53And I have another man who's coming

01:15:55to help me turn on the oxygen tanks

01:15:56as soon as you're in your suit.

01:15:58Thank you, Han.

01:16:00You know, we've become friends here.

01:16:03Good friends.

01:16:07We would have become friends anywhere.

01:16:09Your planet.

01:16:11Or my Earth.

01:16:13I wish you and Lear much happiness.

01:16:32I wish you and Lear much happiness.

01:16:33Bye.

01:16:40Bye.

01:16:47Bye.

01:17:04I find you guilty as charged.

01:17:10You'll never see your world again.

01:17:25Frank, Chapman, I've been in love with you ever since the first time I saw you.

01:17:33Chapman.

01:17:35Chapman.

01:17:37White to Beecher.

01:17:39Come in, White.

01:17:40I found Chapman. He's alive.

01:17:43But there's no trace of Moconan.

01:17:46Where's Moconan?

01:17:47He's dead.

01:17:50He's gone.

01:18:00Where are we?

01:18:03Where are they?

01:18:05Where are the others?

01:18:08Where's who?

01:18:10Jason.

01:18:11What are you talking about?

01:18:13Say something.

01:18:15Alan.

01:18:19Come on, let's get back to the ship.

01:18:28White to Beecher.

01:18:31I'm bringing him in.

01:18:32He seems to be all right.

01:18:34He said Moconan is dead.

01:18:36He keeps talking about other people.

01:18:37I think he's in a state of shock.

01:18:39Do you need assistance?

01:18:41No, Captain.

01:18:41I can handle it alone.

01:18:44You know, Frank, you're a lucky guy.

01:18:48This is a wandering planet.

01:18:49Could have carried you anywhere.

01:18:53I'm sure glad we saw you.

01:18:56Santa.

01:18:59Where is she?

01:19:02But she needed the rest.

01:19:28But she needed the rest.

01:19:35She needed the rest.

01:19:35How do you feel, Captain?

01:19:37I don't know.

01:19:41I don't understand.

01:19:44It's unbelievable.

01:19:47We'll get you back to Moonbase for a thorough examination.

01:19:50Do you think you're hurt?

01:19:53I don't think so.

01:19:55You must have been knocked out for quite a while.

01:19:57I don't know.

01:20:00I must have been dreaming.

01:20:03Quite possible you were delirious.

01:20:05The shock of the crash landing of your ship.

01:20:08Ray's gone.

01:20:11But I just left safe in her room.

01:20:27She had such an adorable little face.

01:20:32All rockets ready for firing.

01:20:34Stand by for countdown, sir.

01:20:36The gravity of this planetoid is very strong.

01:20:39We'll need every bit of thrust for our takeoff.

01:20:41Don't worry.

01:20:42I know we're gonna make it.

01:20:44Start your countdown.

01:20:46Ten.

01:20:47Nine.

01:20:48Eight.

01:20:49Seven.

01:20:50Six.

01:20:51Five.

01:20:52Four.

01:20:53Three.

01:20:55Two.

01:20:56One.

01:20:57Zero.

01:21:06Cut off power.

01:21:08Power off.

01:21:12Rear screen.

01:21:14Rear screen.

01:21:22No, no, they'll never believe me.

01:21:27Even with this, they'll never believe me.

01:21:42What, then, will the future reveal?

01:21:44If this story is only the beginning, is only the beginning, only the beginning, only the beginning.

01:21:56Five.

01:21:58Five.

01:22:01Four.

01:22:03One.

01:22:04Two.
