00:06I've altered our course by four degrees.
00:08Good. That should give us a clear flight path for at least 24 hours.
00:12Well, going on the assumption, of course, we aren't hit by a wild comet or a falling star.
00:17Or, uh, plow into some unknown asteroid.
00:20You amaze me, Major West, worrying about, uh, normal occupational hazards like that.
00:26Say, where's the robot? He was supposed to compute our radio reactor.
00:29Oh, uh, Smith said he needed him for a few minutes, on a project of major importance.
00:33Yeah, I can imagine.
00:37Careful.
00:38Careful! Careful, you incompetent imbecile! Not too much water! Give this here! Give it here!
00:43Indeed, I raised this plant from a tiny cutting. I have mothered it to its present size.
00:49There is no need for concern, Dr. Smith. Unlike yourself, I have excellent judgment.
00:54Have you, indeed?
00:54Among the other members of this expedition, I am held in high esteem.
00:58You might even say they regard me with deep affection.
01:01Hold your tongue, you bumptious braggart. You pop a rivet. Stand aside. Stand aside!
01:05There are many good reasons, Dr. Smith, why I am so well-liked.
01:08I am honest, kind, gentle, courteous, brave, self-sacrificing, and a real great guy!
01:15And a real great goose!
01:18Dr. Smith, if you're done with the robot, can I...
01:21What's the trouble, William?
01:22This plant. You know Dad's orders. No one's supposed to bring any kind of vegetation of alien kind on the
01:28ship.
01:29I recall your father's edict very well, indeed. But surely it does not apply to this innocent little orange tree.
01:35Besides, Dr. Smith is its mother.
01:37If you quote me, quote accurately, Booby, that is not what I said!
01:42Dr. Smith, I'm not so sure that's an orange tree.
01:44Oh, William, of course it's an orange tree. Any day now, a great crop of luscious Valencia oranges will burst
01:50forth.
01:51But space radiation can affect any plant's photosynthesis process. We don't know what that might turn into.
01:57You might be placing us all in deadly danger.
01:59You're both making much ado over nothing.
02:02Well, just the same. When Don sees it, he's gonna throw it overboard.
02:05Will he, indeed?
02:06And you with it.
02:09To please you, William, I shall get rid of the plant immediately.
02:12Now you're talking.
02:15Oh, can I please take the robot?
02:17As far as I am concerned, you may take him and lose him.
02:21This parting brings an end to horror. Let us hope we do not meet tomorrow.
02:26Begone, Booby!
02:31How ridiculous.
02:33As if a harmless little citrus plant could be anything but a fountain of delicious orange juice.
02:40They're all jealous of my horticultural ability.
02:42All of them.
02:43Jealous. Jealous.
02:48Looks like some kind of radiation belt.
02:51Must be a galactic phenomenon.
02:54Syntholometer's way off.
02:57Conquering radiation shockwaves.
03:00John, can't we alter our course?
03:02No, we don't have enough time.
03:04Whatever it is, we're gonna have to take a chance or fly right through it.
03:14Hey, I guess I better warn the children.
03:25Oh, no!
03:27Oh!
03:32Morning, stabilize the ship.
03:44Dr. Smith!
03:45Huh?
03:46He's really hurt man!
03:48I have computed his condition.
03:50The good doctor is only paralyzed with fear.
03:53Silence, Nanny!
03:54Why shouldn't I be?
03:55There's just so much a man can stand.
03:57Man?
03:58Huh!
03:59Spare me the asinine aside, you insensitive idiot!
04:02I've suffered a severe emotional shock.
04:04I'm terribly sorry, Dr. Smith.
04:07Thank you, William.
04:07My entire nervous system has been damaged.
04:10I shall require at least 24 hours to recuperate.
04:13William, dear boy, would you see to me if my dinner is served in my quarters?
04:18All right.
04:22You can gold brick later, Smith.
04:24Right now, I've got a lot of repair work to do.
04:25Believe me, Major, I am beyond physical efforts of any kind.
04:30I don't want to have to tell you again.
04:32Move.
04:33But I need a little time in order to recover from my recent experience.
04:36Smith.
04:37Very well, Major.
04:38But you will regret it.
04:40Denying an exhausted man a little peace and quiet, cold and cruel you are.
04:46All right, Smith.
04:47Never mind the compliments.
04:47I'll meet you on the upper deck in 30 seconds.
04:5330 seconds, indeed.
04:55That dreadful man.
04:57Oh.
04:59Oh.
05:01Oh.
05:02Oh.
05:07Oh.
05:21Oh.
05:31Oh.
05:33Oh.
05:35Oh.
05:36Oh.
05:38Oh.
05:38Oh.
05:38Oh.
05:39Oh.
05:40Oh.
05:40Oh.
05:42Oh.
05:44Oh.
05:44Oh.
05:45Oh.
05:45Oh.
05:47Oh.
05:48Oh.
05:48Oh.
05:49Oh.
06:39System A's all right.
06:40I'd say we were lucky. Only minor damage.
06:42Let's try system B.
06:44All right.
06:44Oh, that's steady.
06:45Uh-huh.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Come on. Smith, give me an R-14 transistor unit, please.
06:56I think the ship is burning up.
06:57What?
06:58I think the ship is burning up.
07:05Well, what are you going to do?
07:08There's nothing to worry about. There's no danger.
07:10Our hull picked up some electroactive waves going through the radiation belt.
07:14It'll burn off in a few hours.
07:16How nice.
07:19Are you all right?
07:20In reply to your question, I must tell you, I have reached a point beyond any feeling at all.
07:25All right, Smith. We get the idea. You're tired, right?
07:28You're quite wrong, Major. I am completely and utterly exhausted.
07:33Well, then, perhaps you'd, um, you'd better get some rest.
07:36Perhaps I'd better.
07:37Bless you, boof.
07:42You know that whole routine was an act, don't you?
07:44Yeah, tell me about it, Don.
08:08Now for a helpful draught of spring water.
08:17And a nice little nap.
08:21It's so good to be safe in one's own little room, in one's own little bed.
08:37Dr. Smith, dinner's ready.
08:43Dr. Smith, wake up!
08:45Oh! William!
08:47Get away from me, you loathsome thing!
08:49William, what is it?
08:51It's your orange tree, Dr. Smith.
08:52Space radiation must have mutated it.
08:55It was a good thing I decided to wake you up.
08:57Oh, William, I'm indeed grateful how terrible it is.
09:00That thing was going to attack me, and I raised it from nothing.
09:04I wouldn't say it was attacking you.
09:05It looked kind of affectionate.
09:07Affectionate?
09:11Do you really think so, William?
09:13Well, that doesn't change the fact that you promised to get rid of it.
09:16I fully intended to, William, but you see, we encountered the radiation belt, and it slipped my mind.
09:23Well, I think I'd better go tell Dad and Don.
09:26William, there is no reason to act in haste.
09:28After all, we discovered the danger before any appreciable harm could be done.
09:33I'm quite sure that we can handle this situation without involving the others.
09:37I don't know.
09:39There is really no problem, believe me.
09:41I promise to dispose of this thing immediately.
09:46Well, all right.
09:47But you're going to have to put it through the jet exhaust so it'll burn up.
09:50No sooner off your tongue than it is done.
09:53Now run along and have your dinner.
09:54I'll join you in a trace.
09:59What a pity.
10:00In season, we could have had oranges as pink as watermelons.
10:08Well, you are an affectionate little devil, aren't you?
10:19Here's our position, and this is where we're going.
10:23How many days did Dad say it take us to get there?
10:25About ten.
10:27It sure is a long time from now.
10:29Why didn't Dad select this galaxy?
10:31Look, it's much closer.
10:32True, but the chances of finding an advanced civilization in any of these small worlds is pretty slim.
10:38Yeah, I suppose so.
10:44Penny, what's wrong?
10:46Nothing. Everything's just fine.
10:48Penny.
10:50Well, it's just that, well, now we're back in space, I'm anxious to go home.
10:55All of us feel the same way, Penny.
10:58Yeah, but we're so close.
10:59Oh, sure we are. Just ten million miles away.
11:02Give or take a few million.
11:04Oh, Judy, you know what I mean.
11:05Of course I do.
11:07But let's not rush things. We'll get home.
11:10You know the old Chinese problem.
11:11A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.
11:15All right, I'll try to curb my impatience.
11:19Something's wrong with the air ventilation system.
11:21Get Dad and Don.
11:34Stabilizing units over here.
11:36Switch them off and turn on to accelerates.
11:38How long do you think you can keep us steady on secondaries?
11:41A couple of hours, I think.
11:43Do you think you can find and fix what's wrong by then, Dad?
11:46We'd better, Judy.
11:47What happens if you don't?
11:49Well, with Jupiter 2, we'll just start rolling over and over, like a ball.
11:53The arrow balance meter indicates all our intake ducts are closed.
11:57Well, it's strange we couldn't have picked up anything in space.
12:00It doesn't make sense.
12:02The distribution imbalance seems to be resting directly on top of the Jupiter.
12:06Look!
12:12Some kind of a plant growth.
12:14Now we know what's shutting off the air ducts.
12:16But we've been traveling in space for hours.
12:17How could a plant attach itself to the spaceship?
12:20That's a good question, Judy.
12:28Oh, sadness, oh sorrow.
12:30It never occurred to me that anything as terrible as this would happen.
12:33All this extra work is your fault.
12:35Will told you to dispose of that plant through the jet exhaust.
12:38Yes, I know he did, but it was so heavy.
12:40So like the prize idiot you sent it out into space through the escape hatch.
12:43Believe me, Major, I never thought for a moment it would attach itself to the Jupiter.
12:46I'm truly sorry. Really, I am.
12:48Unfortunately, your regrets don't help the situation now.
12:51It wasn't all Dr. Smith's fault.
12:52I'm responsible, too.
12:55Yes, you are, son.
12:56You should have reported the finding of that plant immediately.
12:59Does anyone have any suggestions?
13:00Perhaps I can be of service, Professor Robinson.
13:03Unless you have some idea of how to get that plant off this ship.
13:06My computers indicate the plant is clinging to the ship because it believes Dr. Smith to be its mother.
13:11Tattletail!
13:12Oh, no. Now I've heard everything.
13:15Unfortunately, I have no ready solution.
13:18But I can give you some further information.
13:20All right, let's have it.
13:21I have computed the performance range of our auxiliary stabilizers.
13:24They will function for 38 minutes and 10 seconds.
13:27If the intake ducts are not cleared of the plant growth before that time, we will all perish.
13:33Forgive me for revealing such depressing information.
13:3638 minutes and 10 seconds over here.
13:39There must be some way out of this.
13:44Don!
13:46Give me a reading of the atmospheric density of that planet down there.
13:50About 30 pounds per square inch.
13:52That just might do it.
13:53What's the plan?
13:55Destroy the plant if we're lucky.
13:57Take it out.
13:58John, wait a minute.
14:01The robot might ask something.
14:03That plant seems to have some kind of intelligence.
14:05You might be right.
14:07It moved up when I said destroy it.
14:10Let's go.
14:25This is madness, Professor.
14:27You'll destroy us all.
14:28I'm fully aware of the danger, Doctor.
14:30Who knows what horrid alien life forms may exist down there?
14:34We have one chance, Dr. Smith.
14:36If Dad's plan works, our entry into the planet's atmosphere will set the vegetation on the ship afire, killing it.
14:42And possibly us into the bargain.
14:45Suppose the gravitational pull of this unknown world is too strong for us.
14:49In that case, Smith, your miserable life will come to a merciful end.
14:53We'll be entering the planet's atmosphere in a few moments.
14:57The radio.
14:58Someone's trying to contact us.
14:59Match our wavelength to theirs.
15:01Yes, sir.
15:04This is the Jupiter-2 space expedition from Earth.
15:07Come in.
15:08This is the Jupiter-
15:10You are about to enter a restricted zone.
15:12Alter your flight pattern immediately.
15:14Leave the area.
15:15We repeat.
15:17This is a restricted zone.
15:19Give me the mic, son.
15:22This is John Robinson from the planet Earth.
15:25We're having some trouble up here.
15:26We must enter your atmosphere.
15:28A final warning.
15:29Leave this area at once.
15:32Do not attempt to enter our atmosphere, or you will be destroyed.
15:36We've got to make an entry.
15:37This is an emergency.
15:40Stop sending.
15:45Dan, look at those blips.
15:50I wonder what they are.
15:53We'll find out soon enough.
15:55We'd better take that advice from our unfriendly host.
15:58Danger, danger.
15:59There they are.
16:10There's another one.
16:22Take her out of here.
16:23We're under attack.
16:25It's coming directly at us.
16:27Full rocket power.
16:29Check.
16:43Well, that was close.
16:44Oh, dear.
16:46Did you know that I once studied to be an architect?
16:49Oh, that's much too dangerous a profession, Major.
16:51You fall off a 40-story building and whammo, that's it.
16:55Yeah, I know what you mean.
16:56Dad, why would they want to attack us?
16:58We told them we were friendly.
17:00Oh, William.
17:02In the hostile environment of space, there are no reasonable explanations.
17:06Well, it could have been a mistake, Dr. Smith.
17:08We're not positive they heard our radio message.
17:11That's a possibility, son.
17:12Why don't you try to contact them again?
17:15Well, gentlemen, what are we going to do?
17:17We cannot enter the environment of that hostile planet, and we do not have the time to try and reach
17:21another one.
17:22Well, we still have a little time, Dr. Smith.
17:24Hardly an optimistic outlook, if you would like my opinion.
17:27We don't like it, and we don't want to hear it, Smith.
17:30Spare me your bullying tactics, Major.
17:32You cannot frighten me.
17:33I shall say whatever I please, whenever it pleases me.
17:36Look.
17:38We've got enough troubles without you two acting like a couple of overgrown skull boys.
17:41He started it.
17:43Well, I'm going to finish it.
17:44Doctor, go to your quarters.
17:46I believe I shall.
17:47It will be a distinct pleasure to leave the presence of this militant moron.
17:53This is the Jupiter 2 space expedition from Earth.
17:56We're requesting permission to land on your planet.
17:59I repeat, this is the Jupiter 2.
18:01We're in desperate shape.
18:02Do you think we could blame him?
18:09I guess that answers our question.
18:10What do we do now?
18:12An immediate decision is essential.
18:14The mess of the monster plant outside is growing with every moment.
18:18We take her down.
18:19What about the warning?
18:20Well, that's a chance we'll have to take.
18:22Maybe we can burn off the plant before they launch another missile at us.
18:24You and the robot go below, Will.
18:26Yes, sir.
18:30Try a third gyro.
18:32Gyro regulators reading 162.6.
18:35Check.
18:36Right there.
18:39There it is again.
18:43Robot's right.
18:43It's getting bigger.
18:45We haven't got a minute to lose.
18:48Try four more points.
18:51Atmosphere entry in nine seconds.
18:53Eight.
18:54Seven.
18:55Six.
18:57Five.
18:58Four.
18:59Three.
19:00Two.
19:01One.
19:02Entry.
19:08Give me a constant reading on the outer hull temperature.
19:111200 degrees.
19:141,600 degrees.
19:162,400 degrees.
19:17It's still climbing.
19:19I think it's working.
19:21Skin temperature.
19:224,000 degrees.
19:23Nothing could survive that.
19:25The ducts are clear.
19:26No indication of outside mass attached to ship.
19:29All right.
19:29Let's get out of here while we can.
19:37Rick for emergency lighting.
19:39Rick for emergency lighting.
19:45John.
19:46What's happening?
19:48Some kind of laser beam from that planet below drained all our power.
19:52We're like sitting ducks up here.
19:54Why don't they just knock us over?
19:55Well, that beam and all those missiles came from one attack area.
19:59Our orbit's taking us out of range.
20:01How long before we can recharge and get out of here?
20:03We'll need 20 hours full recharge.
20:05That'll give us enough power to reach escape velocity?
20:07There's only one problem.
20:09In 11 hours, our orbit's going to take us right over that attack area again.
20:19Yes?
20:20Major West.
20:21Oh, come in.
20:26I want to talk to you, Smith.
20:27It's quite important.
20:29Very well.
20:29Proceed.
20:30We're still trying to make contact with the planet.
20:33So far, no luck.
20:35Something has to be done.
20:36And we have to do it.
20:38Did you say we, Major?
20:41Someone has to go down to that planet and convince them we're not their enemies.
20:44And how do you propose to accomplish this miraculous mission?
20:47Do we grow wings and fly?
20:49No.
20:51By using the space pod, we can get to the attack area before the Jupiter 2.
20:55You see, the pod's small enough to go undetected.
20:58That's a splendid idea, Major.
20:59I suggest you go along and my blessings go with you.
21:02I'm glad you approve, Dr. Smith, because you're going with me.
21:07I am?
21:08Oh, we'll have a much better chance of success if there are two of us.
21:11Well, much as I would like to accept your kind invitation, Major, I'm afraid you'd better look for somebody else.
21:16You see, by nature, I am not exactly suited for this particular type of work.
21:21You're the most expendable of the whole group.
21:23And you're going with me?
21:25Thank you, no.
21:26My mind is made up.
21:35I'm sorry, Dr. Smith, but I just can't take no for an answer.
21:38You're quite right, Major.
21:40Two heads are better than one.
21:42I shall be delighted to accompany you.
21:50Come on.
21:54Indeed.
21:54Forcing me to leave without saying goodbye to my dear friends?
21:58You're a cold, callous man.
22:00You'll be back before they know it, sir.
22:02Get in here.
22:03I fear they will never see me again.
22:33I fear they will never see me again.
22:38What a dismal and desolate place.
22:42There's no sign of habitation anywhere.
22:44Major, I suggest we return to our spaceship.
22:48Those missiles didn't fire themselves, Smith.
22:50We're not alone on this planet.
22:52Come on.
23:07Major, the space pod, it's going to take off.
23:10Stop it.
23:14Let me go.
23:15Let me go.
23:16Let's come back here.
23:19Look, Major, it's gone.
23:21Do you realize we are marooned on this forsaken planet?
23:24Why didn't you try to stop it?
23:25Because I deliberately set the remote control system so it would return to the Jupiter 2.
23:30Right now, Smith, we're expendable.
23:31No sense in sacrificing a vital piece of equipment along with us now, is there?
23:35Oh, good heavens.
23:36I'm trapped here with a madman.
23:37Now, you just take it easy, Smith.
23:39As far as we're concerned, the space pod has served its purpose.
23:42Now, if the Robinsons want to return to this planet, they'll be able to.
23:46Why don't you understand that?
23:47I understand that.
23:49And suppose we wish to rejoin them.
23:52Well, Smith, old boy, in that case, we've burned our bridges behind us.
23:57Now, we've got three hours before the Jupiter 2 passes over here.
24:00Come on, let's find those aliens who don't like us.
24:09I can't see a living thing.
24:10There was never any life on this planet.
24:12Oh, you're wrong again, Smith.
24:14Man, I can prove it.
24:18From the looks of this skull, animals greatly resembling our own once inhabited this planet.
24:22Well, take it away.
24:24You know how sensitive I am.
24:28Let's take a look over here.
24:29Major, I'm completely exhausted.
24:31My delicate back is a disaster area.
24:33I must rest.
24:35All right, you stay here.
24:35I'll take a look behind those rocks.
24:37Oh, dear.
24:39This whole thing is an incredible wild goose chase.
24:44Hmm.
24:48Major! Major!
24:50Major!
24:52What is it now, Smith?
24:53Over there.
24:54Look.
24:55All right, I'm looking.
24:58He was here just a moment ago.
25:02Smith, you better take hold of yourself.
25:04You're beginning to slip.
25:04I am not imagining things.
25:06He was an old man, and he was looking directly at me.
25:09All right, all right.
25:09Maybe there was someone here, but he's gone now.
25:12Now, there's a cave over there behind those rocks.
25:14Let's go investigate.
25:15It's an excellent idea.
25:16Why don't you run along, and I shall wait for you here.
25:18Smith, am I going to have to drag you along with me?
25:20There's no need for both of us to go.
25:22Well, I wouldn't want to leave you here alone in this dangerous place.
25:24How very considerate of you.
25:27He was here, right here, and I saw him.
25:29I did.
25:43Major, I beg you to reconsider.
25:46We could be placing ourselves in deadly peril.
25:48Which would you rather face, Smith?
25:50What's inside there or me?
25:52Let us proceed.
26:07It doesn't look like anyone's been in here for a long, long time.
26:12I want to leave here.
26:13I am not in the least bit interested.
26:17Major!
26:24Help me up.
26:27Hear then the story of this ancient world.
26:31In the beginning, the planets fought among themselves.
26:35For 10,000 years, civilizations battled with each other.
26:40And then, the Sobrams appeared.
26:44A race whose sole enjoyment was the making of war.
26:48They had created an indestructible planet, capable of moving through the galaxy at will.
26:54But if the world of the world of the Sobrams was indestructible, they themselves were not.
27:01They fought to their own extinction.
27:05Now, nothing remains of this warrior race, except this world, and the history you have heard.
27:14But if there are no more Sobrams, who fired those missiles at us?
27:18I don't know.
27:19But no matter how it was done, we've got to find those missile launchers and destroy them.
27:24Let's look in there.
27:30Smith, come on.
27:31I can't get down.
27:35Come on, come on.
27:46Dad, I just can't figure out why Dr. Smith would volunteer to go down on that planet with Don.
27:52It is completely against Dr. Smith's normal behavior pattern of stark terror.
27:57If we could find the means that Don used to convince him, we should bottle it.
28:01How are we going to find this place?
28:03The servo mechanism set to home in on the exact spot the pod took off from.
28:07Touchdown should be within 20 seconds.
28:12Well, we found what we were looking for.
28:16Those are missile launching tubes.
28:17Then I suggest we destroy them immediately and relay the information back to the others.
28:21You know something, Smith?
28:23Once in a while, you do come up with a good idea.
28:29What are you waiting for?
28:31Why don't you shoot?
28:33I can't seem to pull the trigger.
28:34Try!
28:36Put away that weapon.
28:38It is useless here.
28:40My dear sir, we've meant you no hollow.
28:42All we would like is your permission to leave.
28:44I know all about your problem.
28:46You do?
28:47Yes, I've been observing you.
28:49Well, since you're aware of our situation, I'll get right to the point.
28:52We can be away from here in 15 hours if you'll allow us to continue our orbit around this planet
28:56without firing.
28:58I might, provided you agree to my terms.
29:00Anything, sir.
29:01Anything.
29:02Smith!
29:02Let's hear the proposition before we go jumping, huh?
29:06What do you have in mind?
29:07I am the last of the once mighty warrior race of the Sobrans.
29:12According to the history I heard, I thought there were no more Sobrans.
29:16That record was prepared by myself.
29:18I didn't think anybody would arrive here before I perished.
29:21Go on.
29:23The end of my life is near.
29:25But before it is over, there is a legacy I must leave.
29:30Oh, my dear sir, I shall be more than happy to help you with your will.
29:34You see, as something of a legal brain, let me assure you, I can avoid all but the most complicated
29:39of probates.
29:40Yes.
29:41Well, that's not what I meant.
29:42Just what did you mean?
29:43And what is your legacy?
29:45One of you must stay behind and take over this planet.
29:50Either that, or you will all be destroyed.
30:05Where do you think they are, Dad?
30:07Your guess is as good as mine.
30:09Let's scout the area.
30:24Professor Robinson!
30:26Professor Robinson!
30:28What is it?
30:29My sensors indicate that Dr. Smith is approaching from that direction.
30:37Doctor!
30:40Are you all right?
30:41I'm perfectly well.
30:42Where's time?
30:43He's safe and sound.
30:44And I have other good news for you.
30:46Our difficulties are over.
30:47We can keep the spaceship in orbit around this planet as long as we like, without fear of further attack.
30:53That's great, Dr. Smith.
30:54My sensors are also highly pleased.
30:57Why isn't Don with you?
30:58He's still making arrangements with the alien.
31:02Arrangements?
31:04There's no reason to concern yourself.
31:06Just a minor detail.
31:07You know how fussy these aliens are.
31:10All right, let's have the whole story.
31:11And I want the truth.
31:13I promise you, it's nothing.
31:14I'm waiting.
31:15Surely you don't doubt my word.
31:18Are you going to answer me?
31:19There's no need for hostility.
31:21The alien agreed to allow the Jupiter to stay in orbit if one of us would remain here on the
31:26planet.
31:27Major West volunteered.
31:30I feel as badly as you do, believe me.
31:32The major acted in the noblest tradition of the true hero.
31:35He sacrificed himself for us.
31:38You can cut the embroidery.
31:41I want to talk to Don and I want to talk to that alien.
31:43Believe me, it is the best way.
31:45For the last time, are you going to take me to them?
31:47If you insist.
32:08You'll find the major in there.
32:10After you.
32:12Perhaps I should remain out here.
32:13There's really no need for me to...
32:31What's that noise?
32:32I have the faintest idea, and I don't wish to find out.
32:35Well, I want to find out.
32:48You're making a mistake.
32:50Now, keep moving.
32:57I think this way.
33:09I refuse to go another step.
33:12Dr. Smith?
33:14Yes, Professor Robertson.
33:30Cease and desist, or I will destroy.
33:34Your friend will recover in a few moments, Professor Robertson.
33:38He's submitted to this chest.
33:39It's his own choice.
33:46What are you doing to him?
33:48The major volunteered to run this war world for me.
33:51I was testing him to see if he was capable of it.
33:54Well.
33:57Done.
33:58Are you all right?
33:59Do we have a deal?
34:01No.
34:03Unfortunately, you have not the qualities necessary to run this world.
34:07I must make other arrangements.
34:13But there must be some mistake, sir.
34:15The major is an expert in military strategy,
34:17and his courage is beyond question.
34:19I'm sure he's an ideal choice.
34:21This character test has revealed those facts.
34:24It's in the area of moral conscience that the major fails.
34:28Now, let me get this straight.
34:30You offered to take over the operation of this place?
34:32In exchange for the privilege of orbiting our ship around this planet.
34:36I see.
34:38But let me handle this.
34:39Right.
34:46If Major West is unacceptable to you, maybe I am.
34:50Dad, no!
34:51Your father is also unacceptable for the task, Earth boy.
34:55Like the major, his sense of honor and fair play is too great.
34:59Ethical standards have no place in my world.
35:02What's to prevent us from destroying this place right now?
35:04First of all, you must kill me.
35:06And that's against your ethical code.
35:08But if you could bring yourself to do it,
35:10there is a missile site on the other side of the planet
35:12which is automated to destroy
35:16if this site is attacked.
35:20My sensors have computed this machine and it is not as the alien says.
35:24He does not wish someone to take over this world after he dies.
35:30What does he mean?
35:31Merely a harmless deception designed to make it easier for one of your group to stay behind.
35:37You'd better start explaining fast.
35:39Why should I?
35:41Time is on my side.
35:43Within 40 minutes of your Earth time,
35:46your ship will be over this site.
35:48The alien seeks one thing.
35:50Someone to play against him in one last war game.
35:53A game that eventually will destroy this entire world.
35:57Is that true?
36:00My opponent will be given the other missile site.
36:04And together we will do battle until there is nothing left of this world.
36:10Can you think of a better way for a warrior race to end?
36:14I can think of lots better ways.
36:16Naturally.
36:17You're the constant victim of your own ethical standards.
36:21There's only one person I know who's totally without any standards.
36:28Perhaps.
36:29He certainly has the sneaky look of a dirty fighter.
36:32You've got my personal guarantee for it.
36:34No, no, you can't take me.
36:36I'm not at all well.
36:36I wouldn't be any good at war games.
36:39Ask William.
36:40I can't even beat him at a game of chess.
36:42Dr. Smith, you told me you beat the robot ten straight games.
36:45Beat the robot?
36:46Aye, well, that's impossible, William.
36:48What are you saying?
36:50Tell them.
36:51Tell them.
36:52Tell them, my magnificent mobile,
36:54that nobody can beat a machine.
36:55Tell them that...
36:57A machine, of course.
36:59The best competitor in any glorious war game.
37:03Use her volunteer.
37:05Dr. Smith, you can't do that.
37:06I am afraid I must, Will Robinson.
37:09My computers indicate there is no other course of action.
37:11But it will never work.
37:13You're programmed only to defend, not attack.
37:15And besides, you're more ethical than any of us.
37:18A condition that can be easily remedied.
37:20I shall simply remove his sensory tapes.
37:22And would the mechanical man be then well-equipped enough to do battle with me?
37:26Absolutely.
37:29Is that true?
37:32It's true.
37:34Do you accept my offer?
37:36I do.
37:38Splendid.
37:38Then it's all settled.
37:39I shall at once remove his tapes.
37:41I'd like to say goodbye to the robot while he still has all his tapes.
37:45Good heavens, William.
37:46This is hardly the time for sentimentality.
37:49If you must, you must.
37:53And so, my young friend, we come to the parting of the ways.
37:56You shouldn't have done it.
37:58We could have thought of another solution.
38:00There was no time.
38:02Besides, you are a big boy now, Will.
38:04The realities of life must be faced.
38:06But none of us will ever see you again.
38:08Even if all my sensors are removed, I shall not forget you.
38:13Robot.
38:16Nothing.
38:20Go, Will Robinson.
38:21Leave me, and do not look back.
38:25Goodbye, robot.
38:31Well, we may as well get this over with.
38:35There's no point in our remaining.
38:36Smith, we'll meet you back at the park.
38:37I shall join you in a few moments.
38:44Tape.
38:46Ah.
38:54Yes.
38:55Well, Judy and Penny are taking it very badly, I'm afraid.
38:58There just wasn't anything else we could do, Maureen.
39:01Oh, I understand.
39:02Don and Will are on their way back to the spaceship.
39:05When they arrive, send the pod down to pick us up.
39:07All right.
39:08Mother, they're back.
39:09Oh, John.
39:10I heard, Maureen.
39:11Now, you know what to do.
39:13Yes.
39:14I'll see you soon, dear.
39:22Well, I see that William and the Major have departed for the spaceship.
39:26Excellent.
39:28Is that the robot sensory tape?
39:30Yes, it is.
39:31I thought that William would like to keep it for old time's sake.
39:34That's very kind of you.
39:35Oh, good heavens.
39:36Don't tell me you're suffering pangs of loss for that ridiculous robot.
39:40As a matter of fact, I am.
39:41For shame, Professor.
39:43For shame.
39:44Well, let's just drop the subject, then.
39:46Very well, but not to worry.
39:47This tape can surely be installed in any other mechanical man once we return to Earth.
39:52It wouldn't be the same thing.
39:53Nonsense.
39:54One robot is like another.
39:56When you've seen one, you've seen them all.
39:57Freeze.
39:59Freeze, indeed.
39:59Why should I freeze?
40:01The climate on this planet is really quite comfortable.
40:03Freeze.
40:04But...
40:05No!
40:06Shoot!
40:07Shoot!
40:07What are you waiting for?
40:08Can't you see we're being invaded by an alien plant monster?
40:11Wait a minute.
40:11I've got an idea.
40:13That's the same plant creature.
40:14It is?
40:16It's the same little fellow that I raised from nothing, are you sure?
40:19It's a mutation of its original form.
40:21Somehow, it's learned survival.
40:24It may have enough basic intelligence to help us.
40:27Well, of course it will help us.
40:28Just tell me what you want it to do.
40:31There's only one of them.
40:32That could be a problem.
40:34Still, its cell structure indicates that it could be parthenogenative.
40:38And that could do it.
40:40Parthenogenesis?
40:40I used to know what that means.
40:42Never mind what it means.
40:43You've got a big job ahead of you.
40:44Me?
40:45Yes.
40:45When the space pod returns, get all the neutron grenades and a spare laser.
40:49A spare laser.
40:50Now.
40:50Now comes the hot pot.
40:52Here's what I want you to do.
40:53I don't know.
40:54I don't know.
41:12You've been told where the other launch site is.
41:16There.
41:18Now, you will go there and activate all missiles for the final battle.
41:23Affirmative.
41:36Without your sensory tapes, you're not much of a conversationalist.
41:39However, that was not what I bought you for.
41:43Now, mark this.
41:45Our little battle will begin precisely at...
41:49I'm afraid you're going to have to postpone your little battle indefinitely.
41:52Now, you keep out of this.
41:53I bought this robot.
41:55He's mine.
41:55I'm not arguing about that.
41:57I'm here to tell you that this planet, this war world of yours, is being invaded.
42:03Invaded?
42:04By an army of plant creatures.
42:06Brr, ridiculous.
42:08No one would dare to invade this war world.
42:11Look for yourself.
42:17Now, hold still while I fasten your gun belt.
42:20Oh, the pain of it all.
42:22A valley to a monster.
42:24There.
42:25Now, don't be sensitive, dear boy.
42:27When a child goes forth into the world, it is the duty of his mother to see to it that
42:31it learns to face realities.
42:33Do you understand?
42:34If you're going to be a monster, be the best monster.
42:38Now, hold perfectly still.
42:40Any moment now, you're going to have to look like a whole invading army.
42:43Don't go away.
42:44I must fetch the grenades.
42:48Now, let me put them right here.
42:51Yes.
42:51Now, take one.
42:53Take one, quickly.
42:54And hold it.
42:55Now then, through it.
42:57Like that.
43:01Bravo!
43:02There's a good boy.
43:03What is your friend doing there?
43:05He's trying to convince the leader of the planned creatures to leave in peace and save your world.
43:11Save my world?
43:12The greatest warrior race in the galaxy, and you dare to presume that we would accept peace?
43:17I shall destroy their leader with a hyperlaser beam.
43:20I wouldn't suggest that.
43:24You might be in for an unpleasant surprise.
43:26Nonsense.
43:27Nothing could withstand a sobram hyperlaser beam.
43:40A parthenogenesis.
43:42life for? Parthenogenesis. Now I remember what that word means. Oh, here. Here, hold this, will you?
43:51Carefully. It's the robot's tapes. There. Now all the grenades are activated. Perhaps a worthier
43:58opponent than I thought. It will be necessary to avoid using light amplifying weapons. Now let me
44:04see. Suppose we try Radeon Rockets? Attack! Attack! Throw the grenades! This is a robot! Do it for
44:19water! Impervious to Radeon Rockets. Fascinating! Fascinating! Let me see now. Flame bombs! That's
44:31the answer. First they must be cut off from the main attack force. Now let me see what
44:37the range might be. Now X! X! X-6! X-7! X-8! Nine! They just seem actually to be
44:55enjoying themselves.
44:56Cut! Oh, good heavens. The robot's sensory tape. I gave it to one of the monsters. If you don't
45:03get that tape back, you'll be a mindless machine. Don't throw that tape! Wait here.
45:12Spence! Get the tape! I can't! Get it!
45:22I got it! I got it! I did it! I did it! You certainly did. Now let's get inside. Give
45:32me a hand.
45:33Give me a hand.
45:35I get it!
45:40God?
45:48I got it!
46:03You know, I'm really proud of you for saving the robot sensory tapes, Dr. Smith.
46:07My gratitude also has no bounds.
46:09A mother could do no more for her own child than you did for me.
46:13Spare me your gratitude.
46:14You're no child of mine, you cumbersome clump.
46:18I just blacked out for a moment. I don't know what could have possessed me.
46:21Oh, come on, Dr. Smith. You're not fooling anyone.
46:23We all know you're as fond of the robot as the rest of us.
46:26Bah, humbug.
46:28There! You juvenile junk pile, you're as good as new.
46:32Thank you, Dr. Smith. I am now doubly in your debt.
46:35However, I am not sure if my basic arithmetic tape is intact.
46:39I will have to test it.
46:40One and one makes two. That is correct.
46:44Two and two make four. That is correct.
46:47Three and three make six.
46:48Oh, good heavens to think that I abandoned that charming and intelligent little plant
46:52for this bumbling bucket of bolts.
46:54Eight and eight make thirty-seven.
46:56Thirty-six.
46:57Nine and thirty-six make leventy-leven.
47:01Leventy-leven?
47:02Leventy-leven and one mile makes six oranges.
47:05Oranges? What have oranges to do with this?
47:07Oh, good heavens, I shall have to start all over again.
47:11Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
47:13Leventy-leven and oranges.
47:15This is all your fault.
47:16However, let me tell you,
47:18you're simply not worth it.
47:19And that is correct.
47:28Let me tell you,
47:51let me tell you,
48:05¶¶
