00:00:30PHONE RINGS
00:01:09PHONE RINGS
00:01:32PHONE RINGS
00:01:54Where are we?
00:01:56Beta Zone. There's a pack of food raiders on our tail, sir.
00:02:03My hands are numb.
00:02:06Concentrate, sir. They're closing in.
00:02:41They're coming. Head on. Fire the tracers.
00:02:48Okay, switch this baby around. Let's shake him up a little.
00:02:53Cursor, five o'clock.
00:03:00Watch your tail, Sam.
00:03:09Here we go.
00:03:11Steady.
00:03:14Down.
00:03:15Down.
00:03:28What's with the lights?
00:03:30It could be a central power leak. It would leave us defenseless. Without the force field.
00:03:35Don't start on me, Sam. Give me a hand. We haven't lost it. I'll tie in the auxiliary power. Got
00:03:40any wire?
00:03:41I made of it.
00:03:42Give me some. How long was I under?
00:03:45Back home. Your son is older than you are.
00:03:49Hope he turned out better than me.
00:03:54Higher. Higher. You've done it, sir.
00:04:02Give me full throttle on the front vector and check the force field.
00:04:06Full throttle, sir.
00:04:11Oh, Lord, Sam. That's the mother ship.
00:04:16Check the force field.
00:04:21Boost it. One Alpha 65.
00:04:29One Alpha 60.
00:04:33One Alpha 52. 51.
00:04:41Ignite the fusion bolts.
00:04:51Five seconds to fusion reaction.
00:04:59Fire!
00:05:07Fire!
00:05:15Fire!
00:05:17Fire!
00:05:18Fire!
00:05:23Fire!
00:05:25Fire!
00:05:28Fire!
00:05:30Fire!
00:05:36Well done, sir.
00:05:44Sir, we've received new orders while you were under.
00:05:46It's bad news, sir. We're being diverted.
00:05:50To where?
00:05:51Exarbia.
00:05:53Very funny.
00:05:54They've had an accident in a high-security lab there.
00:05:57The Federation requested you especially.
00:06:00All our leave time has been canceled.
00:06:05They said I was going home.
00:06:07It was an order, sir.
00:06:09They said you'd understand. Maybe next year, sir.
00:06:12Prepare for hyperspace, sir.
00:06:14Hyperspace?
00:06:15Yes, sir.
00:06:32Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:33Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:36Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:37Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:39Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:41Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:41Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:42Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:49Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:51Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:52Hyperspace, sir.
00:06:57Hyperspace, sir.
00:07:09THE END
00:07:29THE END
00:07:42Egg Zarbius, sir. Prepare for docking. Searcher 7 to Zarb 05. Come in, please.
00:07:50Roger. Searcher 7, we see you. Hold your course.
00:07:58Roger, Xarbia. Holding steady. Where do you want us?
00:08:02Enter code 65, cipher 2 Papa. We'll strobe you in.

00:08:28THE END
00:08:37THE END
00:08:37THE END
00:08:37Come on.
00:09:15Gordon Hauser, head of research.
00:09:17Mike Colby.
00:09:17Of course.
00:09:18This is my assistant, Dr. Glazer.
00:09:20Barbara knows more about genetic synthesis than anyone else alive.
00:09:24Sounds like fun.
00:09:26I've heard good things about you, Commander Colby.
00:09:29Mike.
00:09:30It's good to be here in your pleasant custody.
00:09:34Let's get started.
00:09:35Good.
00:09:35Follow me.
00:09:36I'll show you around.
00:09:40This is an a-priority, high-security research facility.
00:09:44Actually, it's a scientist's dream.
00:09:45We have the best of everything here.
00:09:47Except real estate.
00:09:48Well, they put us here for two reasons.
00:09:50One, because we're working on a bacteria that's unique to this planet.
00:09:53And two, because we can take experimental risks here in isolation that would be unthinkable back home.
00:09:59What kind of research do you do here?
00:10:01Genetic engineering.
00:10:03Bacteriological mostly.
00:10:05Our objective is to create an extremely productive, entirely new food source.
00:10:09And I would say that we've done that, too.
00:10:11Uh-huh.
00:10:12Tell me about the accident.
00:10:14Sorry.
00:10:15Sorry.
00:10:17Tracy.
00:10:19Would you go find Jimmy, please, and have him come to the lab?
00:10:22Sure.
00:10:24Sorry.
00:10:25It's okay.
00:10:29You're a new face around here.
00:10:31We don't often get new faces.
00:10:33That's the truth.
00:10:40In here.
00:10:48Okay, close your eyes.
00:10:53What is this?
00:10:55It kills every living thing on your body.
00:10:57Keep it clean.
00:10:58That's the rule.
00:10:59Nothing messy goes in.
00:11:01Nothing messy comes out.
00:11:02Isn't there a cancer risk?
00:11:06Watch your step.
00:11:27Welcome to the Garden of Eden.
00:11:29We play God here.
00:11:30We create life.
00:11:32The only trouble is, some of the life we create just won't behave.
00:11:36Mike Colby, Cal Tinbergen, chief of bacteriology.
00:11:41He's a true genius.
00:11:43One of the few.
00:11:45Nice to meet you.
00:11:47Thought we'd leave the mess until you got here.
00:11:50Heard you like messes.
00:11:51Any sign of isolatory psychosis among the staff?
00:11:56Not on our staff.
00:11:58Wasn't staff, Colby.
00:11:59Something got loose.
00:12:01What got loose?
00:12:04Subject 20.
00:12:05An experiment?
00:12:07We created a little monster, I'm afraid.
00:12:11See for yourself.
00:12:13It's in here.
00:12:19Meet subject 20.
00:12:21Who put it in the incubator?
00:12:23It put itself in the incubator.
00:12:26What is it?
00:12:28It's a metamorph.
00:12:29A what?
00:12:30It's a metamorphic mutation.
00:12:33It's like an ordinary mutant, in that it's genetically different from its parent.
00:12:38A metamorph goes at one better.
00:12:41It keeps right on changing its genetic structure, mutating again and again, even as it grows and matures.
00:12:48It's a genetic wildcat.
00:12:51It's totally unpredictable.
00:12:55Best to keep that closed.
00:13:00What is the gooey stuff?
00:13:02It's a cocoon.
00:13:03Interesting, huh?
00:13:04Is it changing form in there, like a caterpillar?
00:13:07It's changing into something, all right.
00:13:10God knows what.
00:13:11You don't expect a butterfly.
00:13:14This little thing did all that damage.
00:13:16That little thing has a lot of energy.
00:13:18Its metabolic rate is 50 times out of any other known organism.
00:13:22Then we should get rid of it.
00:13:24If we drop a few cc's of hydrocyanic acid in there, we have a belly-up metamorph.
00:13:29And I can go home.
00:13:30I don't think you understand, Colby.
00:13:32I understand perfectly, Doctor.
00:13:34You're working outside of your charter.
00:13:35Scientific research often takes us into uncharted territory.
00:13:40I'm not talking about territory, Doctor.
00:13:42I'm talking about strange little creatures that kill.
00:13:45I've got a motto.
00:13:46If it moves and it's not one of us, shoot it.
00:13:49Brilliant.
00:13:50Just what we need.
00:13:51I'm not joking, Doctor.
00:13:53I know when to play the game and I know when to bail out.
00:13:56That thing is troubling.
00:13:58I can smell it.
00:13:59Termination is not a solution.
00:14:01He's right, Commander.
00:14:04Give us a chance to fill you in.
00:14:06Wait one night.
00:14:11How can you're so much more convincing than he is?
00:14:13I have such beautiful ideas.
00:14:17Shall we discuss it over dinner?
00:14:19Hungry?
00:14:21I'm getting that way.
00:14:26Jimmy.
00:14:27We can clean it up now.
00:14:28Okay, no problem.
00:14:29Tracy, can't you join us?
00:14:31Sure.
00:14:33If a little terror does anything funny, give me a call.
00:14:37Okay.
00:14:40Okay.
00:14:49We can clean it up now.
00:14:50We can clean it up now.
00:14:53We can clean it up now.
00:14:56We can clean it up now.
00:14:58We can clean it up now.
00:14:58We can clean it up now.
00:14:58We can clean it up now.
00:14:58We can clean it up now.
00:14:58We can clean it up now.
00:14:58We can clean it up now.
00:14:59We can clean it up now.
00:15:00We can clean it up now.
00:15:01We can clean it up now.
00:15:02We can clean it up now.
00:15:02We can clean it up now.
00:15:04We can clean it up now.
00:15:06We can clean it up now.
00:15:16Let's go.
00:15:43Let's go.
00:15:58Security.
00:15:59Earl, it's Jimmy in the lab.
00:16:01How's it there yet?
00:16:02Not yet.
00:16:03When he gets there, would you tell him to give me a call?
00:16:05Tell him his baby's waking up.
00:16:07Okay.
00:16:55Let's go.
00:17:03Let's go.
00:17:05Are you okay?
00:17:06Sure.
00:17:07If it's anything interesting, let me know.
00:17:09I hate to miss it.
00:17:10Let's go.
00:17:11Let's go.
00:17:20Let's go.
00:17:31Let's go.
00:17:37Let's go.
00:17:51Let's go.
00:17:52Let's go.
00:17:54Let's go.
00:18:00Let's go.
00:18:04Let's go.
00:18:09Ah, man.
00:18:12Now, let's go.
00:18:12Ah.
00:18:12Ah.
00:18:13Ah.
00:18:13Ah.
00:18:13Ah.
00:18:42Where's the whipped cream?
00:18:44What?
00:18:45Strawberry shortcake always comes with whipped cream.
00:18:49This is strawberry shortcake?
00:18:51I thought it was one of Cal's genetic disasters.
00:19:00Come on, Barb. I can't eat this crap without whipped cream.
00:19:03Do you want to whip up some of the Polyger guy's dairy base?
00:19:06It looks like whipped cream, sort of.
00:19:09Actually, it looks like puree puke, if you want to know the truth.
00:19:11And the galactic food crisis strikes again.
00:19:15Suffer.
00:19:16What does Subject 20 have to do with the work on the food crisis?
00:19:22It's a genetic mutant.
00:19:24A proto-B binary like all the other experiments except...
00:19:29This one got a little out of hand.
00:19:32A little.
00:19:32Well...
00:19:35Well, what's proto-B?
00:19:37You know anything about genetics?
00:19:40Doctor, I wouldn't know a gene from a jelly bean.
00:19:43Earl, punch up the file 7063.
00:19:55A proto-B.
00:19:57It gets its energy from light, available chemicals, and most efficiently by consuming its own dead.
00:20:03It lives in a perfectly balanced, closed system.
00:20:05No predators, no prey.
00:20:09Proto-B reproduces at an unbelievable rate.
00:20:12It's sinful the way it multiplies.
00:20:14You splice it to another organism, there's just no stopping it.
00:20:18We spliced it to an algae and got a food stuff that grows so fast.
00:20:23I swear you couldn't kill it if you tried.
00:20:25All of our work here involves splicing proto-B genes with the genes of other organisms.
00:20:31So actually, Subject 20 started out just like all the others.
00:20:35Then Subject 20 is the result of a genetic splicing between a proto-B bacteria and another organism.
00:20:41Exactly.
00:20:42What is the other organism?
00:20:45Well, is it animal or vegetable?
00:20:51Well, come on.
00:20:52Was it an animal?
00:20:55Yes.
00:20:56No.
00:20:57Yes.
00:20:58Do I hear a maybe?
00:21:01Ask Gordon what happened to Annie.
00:21:03Who's that?
00:21:04Ask him.
00:21:04Barbara, I'm warning you.
00:21:05Tell me about Annie.
00:21:08This is not the time or place to be discussing this.
00:21:11What difference does it make?
00:21:14She died.
00:21:16You can call it that.
00:21:20What would you call it?
00:21:24She died.
00:21:26That's all.
00:21:29What is it?
00:21:32Tracy?
00:21:48Oh, Lord.
00:21:51Come on, let's get out of here.
00:21:53Men of order.
00:21:54Where is it?
00:22:00I don't know.
00:22:01Well, find the damn thing.
00:22:02Hang on.
00:22:03He's still alive.
00:22:03That's impossible.
00:22:04Give me a hand.
00:22:05I want to get him up and we can see him.
00:22:06He can't be alive, Cal.
00:22:08Look at him, for God's sakes.
00:22:11I don't know how that's going to happen.
00:22:13We should have killed it when we had the chain.
00:22:15Look at that, Brian.
00:22:15There's too much to stay killed.
00:22:16Well, tell that to Jimmy.
00:22:17You go find it and keep looking.
00:22:19Don't worry, sir.
00:22:19I'll find it.
00:22:20I'll find that half-breed bastard.
00:22:42No cerebrum.
00:22:45Traumatized collateral sulcus.
00:22:48But there's life in the cerebellum.
00:22:50The heart's still pumping.
00:22:52The body tissue is viable.
00:22:54He is alive.
00:22:56Technically, anyhow.
00:22:58What if it's not in here?
00:22:59It's got to be in here.
00:23:00This is a sterile chamber.
00:23:01If a germ can't get out,
00:23:02there's no way that thing can get out.
00:23:04I can't do anything with him here.
00:23:05I'm going to take him down in the bedroom.
00:23:14You won't get away from me, will you,
00:23:16my genetic cesspool?
00:23:20This is it, you goddamn ding-whopper.
00:23:30Be careful.
00:23:31Let me know if you find the rest of them, will you?
00:23:36I'm beginning to think it's not in here.
00:23:40Don't be a fool, Brian.
00:23:41How could it get out?
00:23:56Maybe it did get away.
00:23:59Keep looking.
00:24:06Maybe it's invisible.
00:24:17Please, I'm sorry.
00:24:31Good luck.
00:24:34Come on.
00:25:31I can't find it anywhere.
00:25:34We've got to tell Colby about Annie.
00:25:36I can't deal with it anymore.
00:25:40No, let Gordon do it.
00:25:42He knows what he's doing.
00:25:44I think he's in over his head.
00:25:47And I think you should get some sleep.
00:25:50Need any help?
00:25:53I'll let you know.
00:25:54Not yet.
00:25:58Why don't you turn in?
00:26:00You need to blank it all out for a while.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03Okay.
00:26:06Tracy.
00:26:09I'm sorry about Jimmy.
00:26:12It's okay.
00:26:13Okay.
00:26:14Okay.
00:26:15Okay.
00:26:25Okay.
00:26:30Okay.
00:28:00I'm on my job.
00:28:04Sam, are you all right?
00:28:06All right, sir.
00:28:17I hear you're the best troubleshooter in the Federation.
00:28:23Yeah, I heard that too.
00:28:26Want to, uh, see some trouble?
00:28:43No, sir.
00:28:44I put you in number, number two.
00:28:48Shit.

00:58:37We have no weapons and we mean no harm.
00:58:41Can you understand me?
00:58:47Either my words or my thoughts.
00:58:58Is it possible you understand but can't answer me?
00:59:09If you do understand me, please give me some sign, some gesture.
00:59:42Sit, Barbara.
00:59:45It could have been accidental.
00:59:47Or it could mean it's keyed into the computers.
00:59:50My God, if it's keyed into the computers, we could have made.
00:59:53Oh, my God.
00:59:55Oh, my God.
01:00:01Oh, my God.
01:00:39Affirmative.
01:00:41It said affirmative.
01:00:52It said affirmative.
01:01:20It said affirmative.
01:01:56It said affirmative.
01:02:20It said affirmative.
01:02:23It said affirmative.
01:02:24Where?
01:02:26In the control room.
01:02:30Let's go.
01:02:40Sam, I need some information.
01:02:55If I'm right about the metabolic rate, it should all be over very quickly.
01:03:01How long have you had cancer?
01:03:05How did you know?
01:03:07I've seen it before, sir, many times.
01:03:10You've seen too much.
01:03:13Let's see how my wildly mutating little cells get along with yours.
01:03:33Got you.
01:03:48Son of a bitch.
01:03:49Son of a bitch.
01:04:04Get me out of here.
01:04:16Watch the cocoon.
01:04:20I don't like this.
01:04:21I don't like this.
01:04:21The cocoon's all over the transmitter.
01:04:29If that thing starts to hatch, you get me out of here.
01:04:32Bill, what are you doing?
01:04:50Bill, what are you doing?
01:05:14Bill, how are you doing?
01:05:31Brian, get out of there.
01:06:17I'm going to kill it, Mike.
01:06:20Honey's got to kill me first.
01:06:22Cal, what are you doing?
01:06:23Get out of there.
01:06:24Cal!
01:06:25Cal!
01:06:27Cal!
01:06:36We've got to go back.
01:06:37It's the only way.
01:06:38What's going on, Cal?
01:06:39We're going to get you out of here.
01:06:41The genetics lab.
01:06:42That's the safest place.
01:06:43No.
01:06:44No, please.
01:06:48Tracy, get me my morphine.
01:06:50It's in my room.
01:06:51Do it, Tracy.
01:07:08Hang on, Cal.
01:07:21What the hell were you trying to do?
01:07:23I have cancer, Mike.
01:07:25And my cancer could kill the mutant.
01:07:26I thought if I could trick it,
01:07:28if I could get it to swallow any of my malignancy,
01:07:31my cancerous tissue,
01:07:33that would be it.
01:07:48There's one chance left.
01:07:50I have a large menesthetic growth,
01:07:52a tumor here on my liver.
01:07:55I want you to cut the tumor out of him.
01:07:57Cal, I'm not a surgeon.
01:07:58And feed it to the mutant.
01:08:00I can't do that.
01:08:02I'm dying, Mike.
01:08:04The cancer will get me in any event.
01:08:06Cal, I don't know how to do that.
01:08:08I'll teach you.
01:08:23I'll teach you.
01:08:24Where is she?
01:08:25Where is the morphine?
01:08:27She'll be here.
01:08:29We can't wait.
01:08:32Start now.
01:08:35Cut here.
01:08:38Cut shallow at first.
01:08:40Then work your way deeper.
01:08:43Work as fast as you can.
01:08:45Cal, we can't do it without the morphine.
01:08:47What if you pass out? How will I know what to do?
01:08:51If I pass out, just go right for the tumor.
01:08:55Cal.
01:08:57God damn it.
01:08:58God help me.
01:09:29Help!
01:09:31Help me!
01:09:39Help me!
01:10:02Here don't touch the celiac axis
01:10:46Mike, it's right behind us
01:10:50Give him the morphine
01:11:20Come on
01:11:27We did it, Cal. We got it.
01:12:04We got it.
01:12:23Sam.
01:12:53We got it.
01:13:30We got it.
01:13:53We got it.
01:14:36We got it.
01:14:54We got it.
01:15:23We got it.
01:15:53We got it.
01:15:55We got it.
01:15:56We got it.
01:15:58We got it.
01:16:00We got it.
01:16:00We got it.
01:16:03We got it.
01:16:33We got it.
01:17:03We got it.
