00:00:07The End

00:00:37The End

00:01:05The End

00:01:32Mars

00:01:33They'll be leaving day after tomorrow

00:01:36I wonder if they'll make it

00:01:38And what they'll find if they do

00:01:41Life, maybe

00:01:42Life of some sort

00:01:45Perhaps someday we'll have a telescope powerful enough to see that far

00:01:48I wonder if they'll have a telescope

00:02:39Dr. Lane, that's the highest priority secret message we've ever had in the Pentagon

00:02:43And we've had some

00:02:45How does it feel to be the head of a project as immense as this one?

00:02:49Truthfully, it's a little terrifying

00:02:52But you mustn't print that, Steve

00:02:53Well, I should think it would be terrifying

00:02:56I know enough about rocket propulsion to believe there's an outside chance you'll make it there

00:03:00But aren't you worried about getting back?

00:03:03I used to climb the Swiss Alps

00:03:05Our greatest ambition then was to climb the highest possible peak

00:03:09We worried later about getting back

00:03:11Can I print that, Doctor?

00:03:13If you wish

00:03:14Well, Steve, this is a plum assignment for you

00:03:18Making a trip of this sort merely to report what you see

00:03:22Yep, I'm the only one going who isn't a scientist

00:03:25You deserve it

00:03:26You made a wonderful reputation as a war correspondent

00:03:30You've been reading the jacket cover of my last book

00:03:34Dr. Lane

00:03:36I once heard of a man who climbed a higher mountain than anyone else alive

00:03:40But he was never able to get down again

00:03:43What's left of him is still up there

00:03:46The point is, Steve, he made it

00:03:50Where are you going?

00:03:52Pre-flight interviews

00:03:53With everybody making the trip

00:03:55I think I've gotten as much from Dr. Lane as he's going to give

00:03:58Oh, I'll give you the scientific reasons why I want to go

00:04:00I'm the nun scientist, remember, Doctor?

00:04:03No, I want to write about the personal human reasons

00:04:06Why a man would risk death to go out into space

00:04:09You've given me yours

00:04:11I gather you don't think they're too good

00:04:13I'm on my way to see Jim Barker

00:04:15Maybe your chief engineer has a different reason for wanting to go

00:04:18Oh, I'm sure he must have

00:04:20Steve, I'm a little puzzled

00:04:21You're going to write this all up

00:04:23But how are you going to file a story on Mars to be printed back here?

00:04:27Well, General, I'm afraid I can't give you the answer to that one yet

00:04:30But don't forget, while en route

00:04:31We're going to drop these self-propelled space cylinders aimed at Earth

00:04:35They should land here

00:04:37We'll be waiting for them

00:04:38See you tomorrow at the takeoff

00:04:41So long

00:04:43And so, the exact time and place of the takeoff

00:04:45Will remain a closely guarded secret

00:04:48As to the immediate reactions to the sensational announcement

00:04:51Congress is demanding to know why a knowledge of so stupendous an undertaking

00:04:54Has been kept so long from the public

00:04:56Several senators have even questioned the advisability of the very project itself

00:05:01The feeling expressed by many of them

00:05:02Was that we should stay where we are

00:05:05Government officials were quick to label these remarks as isolationists

00:05:08Here we go again

00:05:12Well, let's get on with the interview

00:05:13You know, if we make it

00:05:15Both the isolationists and the interventionists will take the vows

00:05:19Wait a minute

00:05:20You said if we make it

00:05:23Tell me, Jim

00:05:24What do you really think our chances are of getting there?

00:05:27Well, everything we know about astronomy, propulsion, and rocket navigation

00:05:31Tells us that we will

00:05:33Yeah, but there's a lot we don't know

00:05:36There's a whole universe out there, Steve

00:05:38A totally unknown

00:05:40Beyond anyone's comprehension

00:05:43We try to figure it out when we're kids, but

00:05:45We never can

00:05:46Yeah

00:05:48Yeah, let me see if I can't frame my lead article featuring you

00:05:51You see, I want to accent the human terms

00:05:54About Jim Barker, chief engineer

00:05:56Whose genius was largely responsible for the construction of the rocket

00:06:01The man with a dream, who couldn't live or think or breathe anything else

00:06:07Who'd worked and planned for years to make this expedition possible

00:06:11The man with a skylight in his Baltimore apartment

00:06:13So he could sleep under the stars

00:06:16You make it sound poetic

00:06:19Excuse me

00:06:28Oh, how are you, Carol?

00:06:33Oh, Carol, I'd like you to meet Steve Abbott

00:06:35He's the newspaper man that's going on the trip with us

00:06:39Steve, this is Carol Stafford

00:06:41How do you do?

00:06:42Hello

00:06:43What are you doing here, Carol?

00:06:45We had a date tonight, Jim

00:06:47He held me up

00:06:48Oh, yes, I can see you're all dressed to go out

00:06:51A drink?

00:06:53No

00:06:55I understand you wanted to interview me, Mr. Abbott

00:06:58But you couldn't have picked a better time

00:07:01I'm just in the mood to tell the story of my life

00:07:04Father was a physicist

00:07:05Taught her a lot

00:07:06She's a smart girl

00:07:07I certainly am

00:07:09She learned spaceship engineering in only three years

00:07:12Spending each day right at the elbow of Mr. Jim Barker

00:07:16Mr. Abbott, do you think three years is too long to spend at somebody's elbow?

00:07:20Steve

00:07:20Call me Steve

00:07:22I wasn't going to let her take a trip like this

00:07:24But, uh, she learned so much she became indispensable

00:07:27I couldn't replace her

00:07:29So, you see, Mr. Abbott

00:07:30What you're looking at is an indispensable scientific unit

00:07:33The first assistant to the pilot of a rocket ship

00:07:36Well, I know you have the whole story

00:07:40I sure have

00:07:57Professor William Jackson is here, sir

00:07:58Tell him to come in

00:08:01Professor?

00:08:09Be right with you

00:08:11I have only five minutes there

00:08:12Waiting to take me to a television broadcast

00:08:16I thought I was handling public relations

00:08:19Look here, I don't even know you

00:08:20I take the time and trouble to come to your hotel

00:08:23Because I haven't been able to catch up with you

00:08:26It was agreed that none of us were to appear on radio or TV

00:08:30Because once we start giving out interviews at random

00:08:32And for a commercial game

00:08:34The world has a right to my opinions and observations

00:08:37That's why I was invited on this trip

00:08:38To make observations

00:08:39Gather geological, chemical, astronomical data

00:08:42Look, Professor Jackson

00:08:43You're a famous man

00:08:45One of the outstanding scholars of our time

00:08:48That's why you're coming with us

00:08:50But there'll be no speeches on TV

00:08:54Hello?

00:08:55Get me Dr. Laney at the Radcliffe

00:08:58I am considered a scholar

00:08:59But unfortunately

00:09:00That hasn't made me rich

00:09:02And the contract's left me quite poor

00:09:05I'm leaving behind an ailing wife

00:09:07A daughter whose husband was killed in the war

00:09:09Two young grandchildren

00:09:11Oh, just a minute, doctor

00:09:14I was to be given $3,000 for my appearance on television

00:09:17I wanted to leave it with them

00:09:20Oh, sorry, doctor

00:09:22Yes, I wanted to talk to you

00:09:24But it isn't important

00:09:25It can wait

00:09:26Yeah, I'll see you later

00:09:31If you do a good job on TV

00:09:33It'll save me the trouble of writing

00:09:36So go ahead

00:09:39Thank you

00:09:40See you tonight

00:09:41When the police escort picks us up

00:10:09I'll see you tonight

00:10:33Goodbye

00:10:35Goodbye

00:10:37Goodbye

00:10:38Goodbye

00:10:40Goodbye, Steve

00:10:48Come on, we'll watch the take-off from the control tower.

00:11:03Well, I guess that about does it.

00:11:05Good luck, sir.

00:11:26Only five of us. Seems lonely already.

00:11:29Well, it was a matter of how much weight we could carry.

00:11:31I would like to have asked a dozen more people.

00:11:35Hey, what happens when the rocket finally levels off?

00:11:38Do we walk on the walls?

00:11:40Oh, no. Our gyro mechanism keeps this cabin vertical at all times.

00:11:45When we're in horizontal flight, that hatch there will lead to the tail sections.

00:11:49You better go there and lie down and strap yourself in.

00:11:52All right, Carol, turn on the oxygen pressure for take-off.

00:11:59Oxygen okay.

00:12:06Control tower, Barker calling.

00:12:09Hello, Jim. This is Ed in the control tower.

00:12:11Check my radio.

00:12:12Give me a reading.

00:12:14Abel George Baker ready. Over.

00:12:17Check. Abel George Baker ready.

00:12:19It's okay. Thanks, Ed. We're ready for take-off.

00:12:22Ground clear. All ready for take-off.

00:12:25And, Jim. Good luck, fella.

00:12:28Thanks, Ed. I'll be seeing you.

00:12:30I hope.

00:12:34All right, are you ready, Dr. Lane?

00:12:36All ready.

00:12:52Ten seconds to take-off.

00:12:54Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

00:13:08No!

00:13:38Contact.

00:13:39We're ready, General.

00:13:41That you, Steve?

00:13:42You've been out in space two days now.

00:13:44Got anything to report?

00:13:45Sure have.

00:13:46Big news.

00:13:48Carol Stafford floated up to the top of the rocket.

00:13:51She kept bumping her head until we got the magnetic field stabilizer

00:13:55to equalize the gravitational pull.

00:13:58And how do you like those for big words?

00:14:02Here's Jim Barker.

00:14:04We'll give you the official rundown.

00:14:07Everything is going according to schedule.

00:14:10At the present rate, we should be out of the orbit of the moon

00:14:12in 10 or 12 hours.

00:14:14After that, it should be clear sailing.

00:14:16Anything else? Over.

00:14:17Jim, the press association here wants to know

00:14:19whether we'll get some pictures to go with Steve Abbott's stories.

00:14:22Over.

00:14:23We'll launch our first space cylinder in 24 hours.

00:14:26There'll be photographs and observations in that.

00:14:30If we lose radio contact, Steve can send all his stuff in the cylinder.

00:14:34Anything else? Over.

00:14:35That's all for now, Jim.

00:14:37Over.

00:14:37Okay.

00:14:38Rocket ship MARS signing off for now.

00:14:42So long.

00:14:43I'm glad we don't have to send all the technical meter readings.

00:14:46It was a good idea you had, Doctor, of having them transmitted automatically by radio.

00:14:49And I think it would be a good idea if you got a little rest, Jim.

00:14:52You've been there ever since takeoff.

00:14:53Well, I kind of hate to leave.

00:14:55Don't be heroic, Jim.

00:14:56Two days without a break is too long.

00:14:58Dr. Layton and I will take over.

00:14:59Well, keep your eye on the gravitational indicator.

00:15:02If there's any variation, call me.

00:15:03Go on, Jim.

00:15:04Remember, I helped to design that indicator.

00:15:07I guess I must be tired.

00:15:08I'll see you later.

00:15:20Mother Earth looks mighty good from here.

00:15:33Close enough to the man in the moon to talk to him.

00:15:36If you do talk to him, be careful what you say.

00:15:39The moon could be a deadly menace to us.

00:16:05That a shift in direction.

00:16:07Good five degrees.

00:16:08The gravitational pull of the moon?

00:16:09We'll have to use power to pull out.

00:16:12Everybody take your stations.

00:16:14Where's Jackson?

00:16:16Professor Jackson, coming.

00:16:25All right, Carol, the pressure.

00:16:34Pressure okay.

00:16:36You ready?

00:16:40You ready?

00:16:41Here we go.

00:17:09Well, I did it.

00:17:13All right, Carol, cut the pressure.

00:17:14If I have to do, is ask.

00:17:17Well, at least we won't land on the moon.

00:17:28Well, it's finally happened.

00:17:30We've lost contact with the rocket ship.

00:17:33You'd better inform the general.

00:17:45New family, Professor?

00:17:48My two grandchildren.

00:17:51They're beautiful.

00:17:54I often wish I'd married and had a family.

00:17:57But astronomy and engineering have taken up almost all of my life.

00:18:00My life's been sheltered but full.

00:18:03Things I've learned, I've passed on to others.

00:18:07You talk as if you were already dead.

00:18:09Do you really believe we're going to come back?

00:18:12Sure I do.

00:18:14Personally, I feel this rocket is my coffin.

00:18:18I never would have expected that attitude from you.

00:18:21As long as we remain alive, I'll contribute all that I know to the success of the expedition.

00:18:26In the meantime, Professor, you're contributing an awful lot of gloom.

00:18:30He's contributed more than any of us.

00:18:34A real wife, a home, two lovely grandchildren.

00:18:38I'd trade ten trips to Mars for that.

00:18:41Then you shouldn't have come along, Carol.

00:18:44Jim Barker, engineering genius.

00:18:47Jim?

00:18:48Skip it.

00:18:49It's just that being confined like this has gotten on my nerves.

00:18:52Mine too.

00:18:53You listening, Carol?

00:18:55To what?

00:18:56I think that you are a prize package.

00:18:59Is this for Jim's benefit?

00:19:01And very feminine.

00:19:02He likes you.

00:19:03I sure do, Mr. Engineer.

00:19:06I don't have to look in a test tube to find out.

00:19:09Let's cut out this bickering.

00:19:10I am not bickering.

00:19:12Nice try, but it didn't get open.

00:19:14Thanks, Eddie.

00:19:19The earth seems so big when you're on it.

00:19:22And from out here, so small and nothing.

00:19:26It's like closing your eyes in the dark.

00:19:28Suddenly there you are, alone with your soul.

00:19:32You're homesick, Steve.

00:19:34No, Professor, I haven't got a home.

00:19:37Sometimes I wonder who I am.

00:19:40Who any of us are.

00:19:42There was once a theory advanced that the universe is a living giant being.

00:19:47And that we, as human beings, made in its image, are miniature universes in ourselves, containing millions of corpuscles.

00:19:54The components of each corpuscle imagine themselves to be in a complete world of their own.

00:19:58Though they are aware of the universe of other worlds around them.

00:20:02Oh, that's fantastic.

00:20:03Is it?

00:20:05I wonder.

00:20:07We understand so very little, really.

00:20:11If space is limitless and endless, then don't you see the opposite must be true, too.

00:20:16Smallness never ends, either.

00:20:19But continues being tinier and tinier.

00:20:22Just as the enormity of the universe becomes more and more enormous.

00:20:26Doctor, you're giving me the creeps.

00:20:29What happens to us when we die?

00:20:31The whole universe dies.

00:20:33Just as the universe in which we ourselves live may someday be no more.

00:20:38But there are endless universes beyond our own.

00:20:42I know the theory, but it makes this trip seem small and futile.

00:20:48If we're simply going from one corpuscle and some giant being to another, what will we find?

00:20:56Crossing over may provide some of the answers to things man has wanted to know since the beginning of time.

00:21:01If so, we'll be swallowed in space and forgotten.

00:21:10Holy mackerel, what's this? Come here, quick.

00:21:12What is it?

00:21:13I don't know. It looks as though the Earth's being bombarded.

00:21:16It isn't, though.

00:21:18It's a storm of meteors.

00:21:19They're traveling at tremendous speed.

00:21:21When they reach the atmosphere around the Earth, the friction makes them explode and disintegrate.

00:21:26We've all seen such fragments on summer nights.

00:21:29Most people call them shooting stars.

00:21:33Tell me, Doctor, are we apt to run into such a storm out here?

00:21:38It's possible.

00:22:02No contact, sir. Not for 48 hours now.

00:22:05From this point on, I'm afraid we'll have to depend on their space cylinders.

00:22:21Mars.

00:22:24Mars.

00:22:27Mars.

00:22:29Yes.,

00:23:05Jim, what's the time and position?

00:23:08Have you finished with those computations for jettisoning this space cylinder?

00:23:11Almost. Just a second.

00:23:13We are now at approximately...

00:23:16two degrees S-400 X-102 solar time.

00:23:21Well, that's about all there is to go.

00:23:24I hope the homing device works.

00:23:26I'd hate to have this land in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

00:23:28Didn't Steve have something to go?

00:23:30Oh, yes.

00:23:31Would you mind seeing if Steve's material is ready yet?

00:23:33Of course, Professor.

00:23:42Everything's in the space cylinder but your notes.

00:23:44I wouldn't want to hold up a space cylinder,

00:23:47but if the last paragraph isn't up to my usual high standard,

00:23:50it'll be your fault for rushing me.

00:23:53How do you find so much to write about?

00:23:55Isn't easy.

00:23:57This trip's getting a little monotonous.

00:24:01Too monotonous?

00:24:05You feel that bitter about him?

00:24:08I don't know what you mean.

00:24:19A little revenge, huh?

00:24:26That ought to make him good and mad.

00:24:30I don't intend to tell him.

00:24:33How can you make a guy jealous if he doesn't know about it?

00:24:36It's possible.

00:24:38Oh.

00:24:39Glad to have been of service.

00:24:41What's the matter with you?

00:24:43For a lady scientist, you aren't very objective.

00:24:48No.

00:24:49I guess I haven't been.

00:24:53Next time you get sore at him, call on me.

00:24:58Anytime.

00:25:08You shouldn't wait till the last minute before getting your notes to me.

00:25:11It's a big hurry.

00:25:12We've plenty of time and space.

00:25:15I hope the homing apparatus on this cylinder functions properly.

00:25:41What was that?

00:25:43Do you have any trouble getting that space cylinder off?

00:25:45Why, no, of course not.

00:25:49I don't know if it's a spaceship around there.

00:25:53Heavens, we're heading right in.

00:25:54This is going to destroy us.

00:25:56We'll have to get out.

00:25:57That means we'll have to go off course.

00:25:58Yeah, no other choice.

00:26:00All right, everybody take your stations.

00:26:03Drop yourselves in.

00:26:05I have to give her full speed.

00:26:08Are you ready, Dr. Lyon?

00:26:11Ready?

00:26:12Here goes.

00:26:27Carol, the emergency lights.

00:26:29Right.

00:26:34I think we went through it.

00:26:36Is everybody all right?

00:26:38Yes, sir.

00:26:39All right.

00:26:47I think we're all clear now, but we're considerably off course.

00:26:51Jim, you better check the ship for damage, and Carol and I'll plot the course.

00:26:54Steve, you and the professor check the tail section for any possible damage, especially the wires and cables.

00:26:59I'll check forward and see what I can find there.

00:27:29I'll check it out.

00:27:55Steve, come here.

00:28:00Have you found a break?

00:28:02Yes, and something worse.

00:28:04Take a look.

00:28:06Our landing gear.

00:28:09They've got our radio batteries, too.

00:28:12That's what cut the cable, probably shorted it.

00:28:15Can it be fixed?

00:28:17I think Jim can fix the cable, all right.

00:28:20But not the batteries in that shaft.

00:28:22Not a chance in the world.

00:28:24How we land.

00:28:31Maybe we won't.

00:28:37Well, folks, we have a real problem.

00:28:40The landing gear we depended on is now useless.

00:28:43We're going to have to crash land.

00:28:46Can't we use the jets to ease us down?

00:28:48We may have to.

00:28:49But it will eat into our fuel supply.

00:28:52Better to use some of that to find a favorable landing spot.

00:28:54You have to make a choice.

00:28:56We can make it back to Earth and attempt a landing there.

00:28:59Or we can try a landing on Mars.

00:29:01The choice is up to you.

00:29:04Well, I'm pretty fond of the world myself.

00:29:07Even if it's only a little corpuscle.

00:29:10If we get back, maybe we can make another trip.

00:29:13Not much chance of that.

00:29:14If anything, it would discourage future flights.

00:29:17Assuming anyone does survive on Mars,

00:29:20what will he be able to do?

00:29:21Will he be able to report back what he finds?

00:29:24There's a remote possibility.

00:29:25The atomic powerhead might not have been damaged too much

00:29:28to get off a space cylinder.

00:29:29It doesn't look very promising either way.

00:29:32But if there's any chance of sending back any data

00:29:35or information about Mars,

00:29:37I'm in favor of going on.

00:29:39After all, that was the object of our flight.

00:29:43Our survival is of secondary importance.

00:29:46We can be on Mars within 24 hours.

00:29:49At least that's the shorter trip.

00:29:51That's an advantage under the circumstances.

00:29:55We're almost at the top of that mountain you wanted to climb.

00:29:59What do you think, Carol?

00:30:02Well, it doesn't look like we're going to come out alive either way.

00:30:06But after all, we did set out to do something.

00:30:09That says it for me.

00:30:10I knew that it would.

00:30:17Okay.

00:30:18I'll make it unanimous.

00:30:20Good.

00:30:20I'm glad we're all together in spirit too.

00:30:24Jim, what's your plan?

00:30:25Well, I can't tell yet.

00:30:27Not till I see the terrain.

00:30:29We'll have to use our jets to look around,

00:30:30but it'll be rough at best.

00:30:33Well, it's in your hands.

00:30:53All right, strap yourselves in.

00:30:55What about you, Jim?

00:30:57Forget about me.

00:31:05I see a place to land.

00:31:07If we make it, we may be able to take off from it.

00:31:19All right, hang on.

00:31:36He's coming around now.

00:31:42There's nothing serious.

00:31:46Don't tell me we made it.

00:32:02Don't tell me we made it.

00:32:04The concussion of our crash must have caused the avalanche.

00:32:13The snow's covered us completely.

00:32:17Oh, no, it hasn't.

00:32:19Look over here.

00:32:26They look like chimneys.

00:32:28They're regularly spaced.

00:32:29They may be the work of living creatures.

00:32:31Come on, let's go out and have a look at them.

00:32:34Are you all right?

00:32:36Yeah, sure.

00:32:37I just feel a little short of breath.

00:32:39Well, no wonder.

00:32:39We'd better put on our oxygen masks.

00:33:14It's made of stone or brick.

00:33:17And very well made, too.

00:33:19Obviously by civilized creatures of some sort.

00:33:22But it's very old.

00:33:24Very.

00:33:25Maybe the race is extinct now.

00:33:27That's being a little pessimistic, Professor.

00:33:30No, no.

00:33:31Professor Jackson may be right.

00:33:33We know that ages ago, Mars was a much warmer planet.

00:33:37In cooling off, it lost much of its atmosphere.

00:33:41If people did live here, it may well be that the change killed them off.

00:33:45They don't seem to serve any purpose, do they?

00:33:48They may have been erected as some sort of religious symbols.

00:33:52Like the great stones the druids erected at Stonehenge.

00:33:55Or the pyramids in Egypt.

00:33:57Well, let's follow them along and see if there's any change in them.

00:34:00Yeah.

00:34:11We have been expecting you.

00:34:13Expecting?

00:34:14You?

00:34:16You speak English?

00:34:18For many years, we have picked up your radio broadcasts and deciphered them.

00:34:23Many of us have even learned to speak some of your languages.

00:34:27I am Ikron, president of our council which rules this planet.

00:34:32We are happy to meet you.

00:34:35And honored by the presence of your animates.

00:34:39You say you pick up our broadcasts.

00:34:41Yes, your first two cylinders arrive back on Earth safely.

00:34:45Since then, they have lost contact with you and there is a worldwide vigil awaiting news of your party.

00:34:51Can we get through to them?

00:34:54No.

00:34:55Although for years we have been able to receive broadcasts, we are still unable to send them.

00:35:02Our best efforts have been reported by Earthmen only as faint signals coming from Mars.

00:35:10You will come with us now.

00:35:30You may do the same.

00:35:32You won't need them anymore.

00:35:42Hey, this thing's moving.

00:35:44Yes, our cities are underground.

00:36:03This is magnificent.

00:36:12Where do you get your air in life?

00:36:14We make them.

00:36:15There is a mineral called corium from which we extract hydrogen and oxygen.

00:36:20You'll find that we live rather well.

00:36:23It's a masterpiece of understatement.

00:36:25I think the council is waiting.

00:36:34You will find we have much in common.

00:36:37As you have no doubt already observed, we owe our continued existence here to science.

00:36:43All of our facilities will be placed at your disposal.

00:36:47You've made us feel very welcome.

00:36:49And I don't think that scientists have ever had a richer field to explore.

00:36:52As you know, we have tried interplanetary flights.

00:36:55Though for all our science, we have had no success such as this.

00:37:00I am very much interested in what you have done.

00:37:04Tell me, this atomic power which I have heard so much about in broadcasts from your world.

00:37:09Just a moment, Eichler.

00:37:10We can exchange questions and answers endlessly.

00:37:14There'd be time for that.

00:37:16Now I suggest that our visitors be permitted to rest and refresh themselves.

00:37:20This is Tillemar, our senior advisor and former chief of our council.

00:37:24Terrace will show you to your dwelling.

00:37:26And after you have had time to adjust yourselves, we will talk further.

00:37:44This is where you will live.

00:37:46Your sleeping rooms and other quarters are on either side.

00:37:50What I want to see is the kitchen.

00:37:52The kitchen?

00:37:53Yes, where food is prepared.

00:37:54Oh, we don't have kitchens.

00:37:56We call it the food laboratory and we have a large one for each district.

00:38:00You order your food and it is delivered, ready to be served.

00:38:03This is a woman's paradise.

00:38:05As a matter of fact, I assumed you might be hungry and ordered some things for you.

00:38:09They should be here by now.

00:38:17I mean, I don't know.

00:38:17Everything is here, ready to be eaten.

00:38:20When you've finished, you'll just put everything back, close it up and press this button.

00:38:24That's all there is to it.

00:38:26No dish washing?

00:38:27Well, that's taken care of mechanically.

00:38:30Mars, I love you.

00:38:32Oh, yes.

00:38:33A tailor will be here to measure you for your wardrobe.

00:38:35You'll be needing clothes, of course.

00:38:37You mean, uh...

00:38:38You can have more like those if you wish.

00:38:40No, no, we wouldn't think of it.

00:38:41When on Mars, do as the Martians do.

00:38:43We find these very comfortable.

00:38:46Well, I'll leave you now.

00:38:47I know you're tired and hungry.

00:38:48If you want me, you can reach me over the speaker.

00:38:52Well, if no one objects, I think I'll start setting out the booth.

00:38:55Yeah, I'll help you.

00:38:57I can hardly wait to see their chemical laboratories.

00:39:00What a remarkable place.

00:39:02The scientific skills and techniques of these people are truly incredible.

00:39:05A man could spend years doing research here.

00:39:08And you were all set to die.

00:39:10You were talking about Mars being the top of some big mountain we just climbed.

00:39:15Well, how do you propose we get back down?

00:39:17And you're talking about doing years of research.

00:39:20What good will it do if we can't get the information back to Earth?

00:39:23Or are we planning to spend the rest of our lives here?

00:39:25I can think of worse places to spend the rest of our lives.

00:39:28No, no, Jim is right.

00:39:29Our whole project is a failure unless we can get our findings back to Earth.

00:39:33But how?

00:39:34Our rocket is wrecked.

00:39:36Can we build another?

00:39:37I don't know that yet.

00:39:39We might be able to salvage some of the essential parts and maybe build others.

00:39:44But it's a big job and we'll need the help of the government here.

00:39:47Without it, we don't stand a chance.

00:39:49Even with it.

00:39:50It's no sure thing.

00:39:52I don't know why they wouldn't help us.

00:39:54Ikron said they were interested in interplanetary flight.

00:39:56Well, there's only one way to find out.

00:39:58As soon as we get settled, Jim and I will go before the council and ask for their assistance.

00:40:07If our rocket ship is to be reconstructed, we'll need all the help you can give us.

00:40:11That's why we are here.

00:40:12To ask for your approval and assistance.

00:40:15Do you really think the rocket can be repaired?

00:40:17That depends on how much of it can be salvaged.

00:40:20There shouldn't be too much trouble to construct a new shell.

00:40:22But the big problem will be if the atomic power heads have been destroyed.

00:40:27For in that case, you could not undertake such a flight.

00:40:30Well, we'd have to work out some substitute.

00:40:33Possibly from your corium.

00:40:39We will send a party to salvage your ship whenever you are ready.

00:40:43We want to help.

00:40:44However, this is a matter that must be discussed by our council.

00:40:48We will let you know our decision shortly.

00:41:01I was anxious that it was not made to sound too easy.

00:41:05However, the approval will be granted.

00:41:08You still object to my plan?

00:41:12To destroy these people and all the people on the world as well?

00:41:16Yes, I do.

00:41:18We will build others from the same design.

00:41:21A fleet of them.

00:41:22A hundred fleets.

00:41:24And when we finish with the ruins of their world, what then?

00:41:27A plan to conquer the universe?

00:41:28More rocket ships?

00:41:29Where is the end of it?

00:41:31I seek only the sanctuary of a place to live for our people.

00:41:35Our planet is dying.

00:41:37The corium will be gone.

00:41:39What plan do you suggest to save ourselves?

00:41:41That we make a pact with them for certain areas of the earth.

00:41:44The people who have come here have no power or authority to make pacts.

00:41:48Once we let them escape,

00:41:50Once their ship is gone,

00:41:51it may well be our last chance for survival.

00:41:54Surely they'll make other trips.

00:41:56What if they return in power and force and conquer us?

00:41:59They will kill us.

00:42:01I ask for a vote of the council.

00:42:03My plan or Tillemar's?

00:42:05Ikron.

00:42:05Tillemar.

00:42:06I'll kill them out.

00:42:07Ikron.

00:42:08Ikron's plan is carried by a vote of four to three.

00:42:11I need hardly caution, senior counselor,

00:42:14of the secrecy of this decision.

00:42:15The space travelers will not be warned.

00:42:18We will let them proceed with the rebuilding of their ship

00:42:21and the naive belief that we will let them return to earth.

00:42:24Once the rocket is ready,

00:42:27they will become our prisoners.

00:42:30Fellow counselors, soon now.

00:42:32Soon.

00:42:34The evacuation from a dead planet will begin.

00:42:36First the armies.

00:42:40Then the civilians.

00:43:01This factory you've given us to work in

00:43:02is certainly ideal for our purpose.

00:43:04Some of those amazing new light metals you've shown me

00:43:07should be able to take the pressure perfectly.

00:43:08I have developed several that I think will be suitable,

00:43:11and this assistant that I'm sending to you

00:43:13will see that you have the very best workman available.

00:43:16You've undertaken quite a job, my friend.

00:43:18Well, most of the instruments are still intact.

00:43:20Oh, I don't think it should be too difficult for Jim, Justin.

00:43:23Not with your knowledge and advice available to him.

00:43:25You're right, Dr. Lane.

00:43:26Justin is our most eminent physicist and engineer.

00:43:29You couldn't be in better hands.

00:43:31I've already learned that.

00:43:32And I have arranged for our astronomers

00:43:33to put aside their present projects

00:43:35and help you make any observations necessary

00:43:37to plot your return trip.

00:43:39How long do you think it's going to take?

00:43:40Well, the sooner the better.

00:43:42As you know, when we took off,

00:43:43the Earth and Mars were at their closest.

00:43:45The distance between them grows greater every day,

00:43:47as does the amount of fuel we'll need.

00:43:50That, doctor, is our big problem.

00:43:52As you know, the atomic powerheads

00:43:54were destroyed in the crash.

00:43:55But from what Justin tells me,

00:43:57I think we should be able to substitute Corian.

00:43:59I hope so.

00:44:01Interplanetary flight has always been

00:44:02a very great interest of mine.

00:44:04Feel free to call on us if you need any help.

00:44:07That, from Hikron, is a very generous offer.

00:44:10Corium is our most precious substance.

00:44:24Thanks.

00:44:26Are you Jim?

00:44:27Mm-hmm, that's right.

00:44:29Your new assistant has arrived.

00:44:31Oh, thanks.

00:44:31Show him in.

00:44:32There's no one to show in.

00:44:34I'm your new assistant.

00:44:36My name's Alita.

00:44:42What's the matter?

00:44:42Is something wrong?

00:44:44Oh, no.

00:44:45No, it's just that I, uh...

00:44:49I...

00:44:49Oh, sit down.

00:44:52I'm, uh...

00:44:53I'm sort of puzzled of these, uh...

00:44:57these new metals.

00:44:59Well, this is the one you want.

00:45:00Both can take the pressure,

00:45:01but this has a better coefficient of expansion

00:45:03for temperature variations.

00:45:06You'll do.

00:45:08You should have known Justin knew what he was doing.

00:45:11You like him?

00:45:13Oh, I think he's a wonderful man.

00:45:15Then I think you'll do, too.

00:45:17He's my father.

00:45:18Oh, sir.

00:45:20Oh, well, uh, let's get to work.

00:45:28Um...

00:45:28Say, his food is really great.

00:45:31There's a reason.

00:45:32And those hydroponic chemicals they use,

00:45:35they put every vitamin we know of,

00:45:37plus several other tissue-building elements.

00:45:40No wonder there's so few sick people here.

00:45:42These are really delicious.

00:45:45And amazing people.

00:45:47It's made an illustration of what science can do.

00:45:48Who would think that, forced to live underground,

00:45:51they've mastered the highly complex problem

00:45:53of raising food to survive on it.

00:45:55In a way, they're better off.

00:45:57Instead of fields in the open,

00:45:59subject to the uncertainties of weather,

00:46:01they have great tanks, miles of them.

00:46:04With their controlled temperatures,

00:46:05they raise practically everything they wish.

00:46:08They've made this into a kind of Garden of Eden.

00:46:12You'll excuse me?

00:46:13You're not going back to the lab again.

00:46:15I have to.

00:46:16I have a few problems I have to solve.

00:46:17Oh, can I help you?

00:46:18Can I come with you?

00:46:19Thanks, Carol, but no.

00:46:21I'll be all right.

00:46:27If you want some more revenge,

00:46:29just whistle.

00:46:32Poor Steve.

00:46:33So busy carrying a typewriter around the world with him

00:46:36that he never had time to fall in love.

00:46:39Then he met a lady scientist.

00:46:41You're not in love with me.

00:46:43No?

00:46:43No, just making it up.

00:46:45Don't ever believe anything a writer says,

00:46:47especially a newspaper writer.

00:46:50Besides, we've nothing in common.

00:46:52I bet you've never been to a football game

00:46:54or seen the Dodgers in action at Ebbets Field.

00:46:58Well, it makes sense.

00:47:00Female scientist goes for male scientist.

00:47:02Two of a kind.

00:47:04Me?

00:47:05I'm just a guy.

00:47:07You know,

00:47:09I think we both need a couple drinks.

00:47:13I've just made a big play for you.

00:47:17I know.

00:47:18No soap.

00:47:19No soap, Steve.

00:47:22But you're wrong.

00:47:22I have been to lots of football games.

00:47:25I'm really not such a test tube specimen

00:47:27as you seem to think.

00:47:28And if I'm an idiot about Jim,

00:47:30it's something I can't help.

00:47:32Maybe you should try harder.

00:47:53Oh, good evening.

00:47:57What are you doing here at this hour?

00:47:59I lost a magnetic gauge.

00:48:00I thought I might have dropped it in here today.

00:48:03You won't need it until tomorrow.

00:48:05If I find it, I'll have it put aside for you.

00:48:09Good night.

00:48:10Good night.

00:48:37I have to know when they're going to be able

00:48:38to fly back to Earth.

00:48:40It's too early to tell you it.

00:48:41I would have learned more

00:48:42if the girl hadn't interrupted me.

00:48:45Well, she doesn't suspect you.

00:48:46Oh, no.

00:48:47I'm sure of that.

00:48:48Good.

00:48:50I must be sure that they're

00:48:51concealing nothing from me.

00:48:53Yes, sir.

00:49:04Well, I didn't expect

00:49:05to find you working tonight.

00:49:07I was talking to father

00:49:08about this at dinner.

00:49:09He gave me an idea.

00:49:10I couldn't wait to try it out.

00:49:11Yes.

00:49:12Well, he thinks

00:49:13if we increase the temperature

00:49:14more rapidly,

00:49:14the molecules will release

00:49:15more energy.

00:49:16It's what you call

00:49:17a higher sparking power

00:49:18for the trigger mechanism.

00:49:20I hope he's right.

00:49:21If he is, it'll save us

00:49:22a lot of time.

00:49:34Is it ready?

00:49:35Almost.

00:49:36You can connect those cables now.

00:49:44I know it'll work this time.

00:49:55That's fine.

00:49:57Well, this will tell the story.

00:50:04Now, it's got to spark

00:50:05to at least 200

00:50:06or we'll never get off the ground.

00:50:10All right.

00:50:10Switch on.

00:50:42Look at that.

00:50:44I knew it at work.

00:50:47I've got to tell Dr. Lane right away.

00:50:49You go ahead.

00:50:50I'll close up here.

00:50:54Let's go.

00:51:03Oh, my God.

00:51:37This is a very good one.

00:51:40That's the earth, but it's partially obscured by mists.

00:51:43Yes, and it's getting further away every day.

00:51:45We tested the new firing mechanism, and it works.

00:51:48Did it register 200?

00:51:49It went to almost 300.

00:51:50You mean we'll actually be able to get back?

00:51:52Easily.

00:51:53It'll take about a week or so to get it built to scale and get it installed.

00:51:57But you and Carol can start figuring out the fuel load now.

00:51:59As of what date?

00:52:00You know, the distance is widening.

00:52:02Figure it a month from now.

00:52:03Fine.

00:52:04That'll give everyone time to gather up whatever we want to take back.

00:52:07Come, Carol.

00:52:13Yes, there's no question about it.

00:52:15They will be able to take off with their own planet.

00:52:18Let them think so.

00:52:20Do you know how long before they'll be ready?

00:52:23No, but I'll find out in time.

00:52:26Good.

00:52:27I want them to complete their work.

00:52:30Then we'll step in.

00:52:36But there can be no doubt about it.

00:52:38I heard it myself.

00:52:39Why does he act this way?

00:52:41I took it for granted that we'd show him everything we know.

00:52:44From what a leader reports, he plans to let you complete your work,

00:52:47and then at the last minute take it away from you.

00:52:49Well, my advice to you is to leave before he realizes that you're ready to take off.

00:52:54But we can't.

00:52:55We let it be known only this morning that we plan to take off in a month.

00:53:00But you could be ready in two weeks, couldn't you?

00:53:02Oh, it's useless.

00:53:04He has spies everywhere that know every step of our progress.

00:53:08Jim, I think I know something I can do.

00:53:37Jim, I think I know something I can do.

00:53:49Try to get that section finished as soon as you can.

00:53:52It's almost ready.

00:54:00Don't go in there.

00:54:01It might explode.

00:54:08What is it?

00:54:08What happened?

00:54:09I don't know.

00:54:09I was working, and suddenly there was a great flash, an explosion behind me.

00:54:13Alza!

00:54:14Come here.

00:54:15I need help.

00:54:37I'm all right now.

00:54:38Is there much damage?

00:54:39Just the trigger mechanism.

00:54:41It will take at least another month to replace him.

00:54:44That long?

00:54:45Maybe longer.

00:54:46Oh, no.

00:54:49Everybody can go home now.

00:54:50Well, there's nothing more you can do today.

00:55:03Beautiful performance.

00:55:09Dr. Lane.

00:55:12Dr. Lane.

00:55:13Yes?

00:55:15Oh, what's the matter?

00:55:16We're in trouble.

00:55:17It's serious.

00:55:18Jim, are you hurt?

00:55:19No, no.

00:55:20Well, is the rocket damaged?

00:55:21No, but I want everyone to think it is.

00:55:23I faked an explosion.

00:55:24I've learned there's a plot to keep us from leaving.

00:55:26Ipron's government plans to take the rocket away from us as soon as it's finished.

00:55:30Are you sure of this?

00:55:31Positive.

00:55:32Well, what can we do?

00:55:34We can leave in two weeks.

00:55:35They think it's going to take at least another month for us to repair the damage.

00:55:39Well, can we get away without their knowing it?

00:55:40It's our only chance.

00:55:41We've got to try.

00:55:43Well, we've got to tell the others right away.

00:55:44No, no, not yet.

00:55:46It's too dangerous a secret.

00:55:48Just get them to speed up their work.

00:55:53Jim, you're tired.

00:55:54You ought to try and get a little rest and relax.

00:55:58Yes, I intend to.

00:55:59Tonight.

00:56:00I think maybe we'll play a little bridge.

00:56:03Bridge?

00:56:04If you introduce that game on this planet, the people will never forgive you.

00:56:10Four hearts.

00:56:12Pass.

00:56:14What?

00:56:15Bye.

00:56:17Well, I've got good help for you.

00:56:24That's wonderful support.

00:56:26I'll make it.

00:56:26Easily.

00:56:28Where did you ever learn to play, Bridge?

00:56:31Jim Totten.

00:56:33I'm surprised at you, Carol.

00:56:35Haven't you noticed that Jim and Alita are, uh, that way?

00:56:44You're supposed to say it isn't true.

00:56:46Of course it isn't true.

00:56:54Sit down, Jim.

00:56:55I'll go after him.

00:56:56Why did you say a thing like that?

00:56:57Wake up, genius.

00:56:58I was once a Lonely Hearts editor.

00:57:04Sorry that happened.

00:57:06I understand.

00:57:08No, I don't think you do.

00:57:10Oh, yes, I do.

00:57:12Oh, yes, I do.

00:57:12You even taught me that.

00:57:13Your work means everything.

00:57:16Then I must be crazy.

00:57:25How many years you've been in love with him?

00:57:28Three.

00:57:32How many tears do you think it'll take to wash out three years?

00:57:36Go away, Steve.

00:57:38I can't.

00:57:40I'm about to win a game for myself.

00:57:45You ever play solitaire?

00:57:49I've been playing it for a long time.

00:57:52Please go.

00:57:55But it gets tiresome.

00:57:57Just like some girls I know.

00:58:03What do you mean?

00:58:05You've been crying for exactly one hour and 17 minutes.

00:58:09Well, nobody asked you to sit in on it.

00:58:13No, it's the idiot in me.

00:58:16Steve.

00:58:18That gets tiresome, too.

00:58:28All right, that'll be all for today, fellas.

00:58:31All right.

00:58:32I'd like to make that installation myself.

00:58:35Oh, and by the way,

00:58:37you're going to have tomorrow off.

00:58:39There won't be anything for you to do until the day after.

00:58:41Well, thanks.

00:58:50They don't know it, but they've done their last work on this baby.

00:58:55What about that?

00:58:56The emergency lights?

00:58:57Two minutes' work.

00:58:58I can do that after takeoff.

00:59:01You know, I can't believe it.

00:59:02It's finished.

00:59:03Ready to go.

00:59:05It's great, isn't it?

00:59:07Yes.

00:59:08Yes, it is.

00:59:10What's the matter, Alita?

00:59:13You'll be going.

00:59:15Of course, I'm happy for your sake.

00:59:17You'll be able to get back now.

00:59:19That's right.

00:59:19Don't be leaving, would I?

00:59:21Well, it isn't as though you're going so far.

00:59:24After all, the earth is only 35 or 40 million miles from here.

00:59:28You know, the way we've constructed this thing,

00:59:30there's a good chance we might be able to bring back a couple of extra people.

00:59:34I didn't want to tell you until I was sure of it.

00:59:36But you're going back with me.

00:59:38You and your father.

00:59:41No.

00:59:43Why?

00:59:45There's a reason why our government wants a rocket ship.

00:59:49Ten years from now, there'll be no more Corian.

00:59:51After that, all life here will be extinct.

00:59:54Unless something is done.

00:59:55You mean what Iquon wants to do?

00:59:58No, there are other solutions.

00:59:59Yes, but unfortunately, he's in power.

01:00:02There's Tillamar.

01:00:03He's a great leader.

01:00:05It'd be better for the people of our planet if he and my father went.

01:00:08Can we trust Tillamar?

01:00:10Can we tell anyone we're ready for takeoff?

01:00:13Alita, if I confide in Tillamar, I'm risking the fate of my whole group.

01:00:18Five people?

01:00:21Yes, I see your point.

01:00:32Whatever we decide here, you have my promise that I will not reveal your plan.

01:00:37Will you yourself, Tillamar, come with us as spokesman for your planet?

01:00:41As a statesman to plead your cause?

01:00:43We pick up Earth's broadcast, Tillamar, and you can deliver whatever news there is from the world beyond.

01:00:49Perhaps to replace Corium, Earth will grant us uranium in exchange for many things we have here.

01:00:55Inventions far beyond anything Earthmen have yet achieved.

01:00:59Inter-planetary trade relations.

01:01:02You'll go then, Tillamar.

01:01:04Yes, I will go.

01:01:05Though once I am gone, Ikron will declare me a traitor.

01:01:08Oh, perhaps at first.

01:01:09But when you have talked to our people through Earth's broadcast,

01:01:12when you tell them of your plan and that you are on a mission for them,

01:01:15there will be a new vote on the council.

01:01:17Ikron will be overthrown.

01:01:18How can you be sure of that?

01:01:20Yes, I will stay here as your representative and organize the active opposition.

01:01:24But...

01:01:25Don't worry, Alita.

01:01:26You are going, not I.

01:01:27But I'll see you again.

01:01:28I have confidence in Tillamar that I will.

01:01:32I have called you all together to tell you that thanks to Jim,

01:01:35the repairs on the rocket ship are now complete.

01:01:37We will take off tomorrow.

01:01:38Well, how do you know it will function properly?

01:01:40You haven't been able to make any real tests.

01:01:42That is the chance we will have to take.

01:01:43But I am positive it will work.

01:01:45What is to keep them from stopping us?

01:01:47That is just it.

01:01:48They do not know that it is ready.

01:01:50And if we handle it right and are very careful,

01:01:52we will be gone before they know it.

01:01:53We have worked out plans whereby each one of us will enter the ship tomorrow at different times

01:01:57without arousing suspicion and remain there until takeoff.

01:02:01Everything must be done with extreme secrecy.

01:02:04Icron apparently has spies everywhere.

01:02:06So let's get packing.

01:02:08Now, just a moment.

01:02:09If you don't mind, uh, there's one more thing I'd like to bring before you.

01:02:14And that is that I've asked Alita to come back with me and be my wife.

01:02:19Certainly.

01:02:19Great idea.

01:02:20Bring her along.

01:02:23Am I supposed to say something?

01:02:25Sure.

01:02:26Some kind of witty remark.

01:02:28Tillamar will accompany us also.

01:02:30Why don't we take a few more people?

01:02:32Carol, I...

01:02:33I'd like to tell you how much I appreciate all you've done.

01:02:37Oh, don't apologize, Jim.

01:02:39I think it's just marvelous to take two live specimens back with us.

01:02:48Well, anybody seen that deck of cards?

01:02:50What do you want with the deck of cards?

01:02:52I feel a game of solitaire coming up.

01:02:55Come on.

01:03:21Professor.

01:03:22Yes?

01:03:25everything all right yes let's get all the important stuff the others will be aboard

01:03:29later in the day

01:03:40yes desk i'm worried about the rocket sir something is going on it looks very suspicious

01:03:45why do you think so first of all no workmen have been allowed inside the rocket in the last 24

01:03:50hours

01:03:51and secondly the corium tanks which were to hold fuel for their return have been moved from the

01:03:55laboratory you mean they may have been placed in the rocket well i don't know even if they are on

01:04:01the ship it may mean nothing but i thought you ought to know you might want to question one of

01:04:05them well there is one we can question the girl alita good i will bring her here no no no

01:04:12not here

01:04:14in the council i will call a meeting at once

01:04:17in the council for the general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general

01:04:28general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general

01:04:29general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general general

01:04:29general general general

01:04:50Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?

01:04:53Girl scientist.

01:04:54Oh, yes.

01:04:55Now I remember.

01:04:59You know, I've been thinking.

01:05:02If we make it back to Earth, I'd like to do a series of articles.

01:05:06Enchanting idea.

01:05:07Very worthwhile.

01:05:09But you see, I'm not an author.

01:05:11I'd need a ghostwriter.

01:05:13Do you suppose that you...

01:05:14How long would it take?

01:05:16Oh, I don't know.

01:05:18Maybe the rest of our lives.

01:05:20If you're kidding, I'll break your neck.

01:05:23I'm not kidding.

01:05:24I think you'd make a wonderful collaborator.

01:05:30I'm not happy leaving you here.

01:05:32But think of the adventure before you.

01:05:35I'll miss you.

01:05:37But not for long, my child.

01:05:39And I'm sure you're going to be very happy with him.

01:05:43I think so, too.

01:05:45Are you going aboard the rocket now?

01:05:47Yes.

01:05:48Goodbye, Anita.

01:05:49I'll do it.

01:06:17What is this?

01:06:20Terrace, you come with us.

01:06:27Yes, the tanks are on the rocket ship, but I told you why.

01:06:30The new outlet valves have to be tested.

01:06:33Why are they new?

01:06:35The old ones didn't fit.

01:06:37They were damaged during the explosion.

01:06:40And you say they cannot possibly be ready for another two weeks for a take-off?

01:06:44I only know what Jim says, and I heard him say that just yesterday.

01:06:54I don't know.

01:06:55Everyone else on board?

01:06:56Yes.

01:06:57Well, I'll be off.

01:06:58I'll follow you in ten minutes.

01:07:00Weren't Alita and Tillamar supposed to meet you here?

01:07:02Yes, that was the plan.

01:07:04They should have been here by now.

01:07:06Jim, are you sure everything is all right?

01:07:08Yes, don't worry about it.

01:07:09It's a long trip.

01:07:10You'd better get started, Doctor.

01:07:20Where's Alita?

01:07:20It's almost time to go.

01:07:21That's what I came to tell you.

01:07:22You must leave immediately, while you can.

01:07:24Alita's being held before the council for questioning.

01:07:26Then she and Tillamar are both there.

01:07:28Yes.

01:07:29Tillamar has double-crossed us.

01:07:31There's no proof of that.

01:07:32She may be in danger of her life.

01:07:33Forget Alita.

01:07:34Leave in the rocket while you still can.

01:07:36No.

01:07:37We'll go to the council meeting.

01:07:39Tillamar may even have done something to the rocket.

01:07:43Will you tell us the truth or go on lying?

01:07:45I suggest we hold her and send our men to seize the rocket at once.

01:07:48The council will vote on it.

01:07:49Wait.

01:07:50If she's telling the truth, what will be gained by seizing the rocket?

01:07:54According to her, it isn't ready to go.

01:07:56And if we take over the rocket now, it may never be ready for flight.

01:08:00We need the Earthmen working on it.

01:08:02If she's lying, it will depart.

01:08:04And we will be left with nothing.

01:08:06Ikron, I have trust in the things of the universe and in the creator.

01:08:11You are a naive, fumbling old man.

01:08:13A vote.

01:08:14Ikron's plan or Tillamar's.

01:08:16It's time for action, not words.

01:08:17Those who favor Ikron.

01:08:19Wait.

01:08:21Why are you here?

01:08:22We should request us permission to have our men investigate the rocket.

01:08:26Why should it be investigated at all?

01:08:29What is all this?

01:08:30I have the promise of your help.

01:08:32We have good and just reason for believing that you have betrayed us.

01:08:36If that is so, you will find our generosity is at an end.

01:08:39And the sort of hospitality we will show will have a different taste.

01:08:42A vote.

01:08:43Ikron's plan or Tillamar's.

01:08:44Ikron.

01:08:46Very well.

01:08:47The rocket is to be seized at once.

01:08:50These people are to be held.

01:09:04I am.

01:09:07Mark!

01:09:21Jim should have been here long ago.

01:09:22I do not understand it.

01:09:24I do, there is trouble.

01:09:27Something must have gone wrong.

01:09:40I think I see Jim in Tullamore now, with Alita.

01:10:00Open the sky hangar!

01:10:20There's an opening.

01:10:24It won't open.

01:10:26Turn on the oxygen.

01:10:34Can't we get out?

01:10:42Take your stations!

01:10:47Strap yourselves in!

01:10:53Are you ready?

01:10:55All ready.

01:10:57All ready.

01:11:18Hello!

01:11:19Goodbye.

01:11:35See you in the next week!

01:11:38I'm ready.
