1
00:00:01,293 --> 00:00:02,211
Get everybody out!

2
00:00:08,426 --> 00:00:11,345
Get out!
Everybody, get out!

3
00:00:13,889 --> 00:00:16,392
Get out!
Everybody, get out!

4
00:00:17,476 --> 00:00:18,728
Stay.

5
00:00:18,769 --> 00:00:20,855
Stay.
Seat yourselves.

6
00:00:20,938 --> 00:00:23,899
We must not lose
another precious moment.

7
00:00:23,983 --> 00:00:25,026
Tell them.

8
00:00:25,067 --> 00:00:26,861
Please...

9
00:00:26,944 --> 00:00:29,071
I don't know
what this is,

10
00:00:29,155 --> 00:00:31,073
but I'm afraid
it's real.

11
00:00:31,157 --> 00:00:33,284
I'll explain later,
when you're capable

12
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:35,202
of listening
to explanations.

13
00:00:35,244 --> 00:00:36,871
Do not be afraid.

14
00:00:36,954 --> 00:00:39,415
You have nothing to lose
but your lives.

15
00:00:58,893 --> 00:01:02,396
Stand by for countdown
and launch.

16
00:01:09,779 --> 00:01:11,405
10...

17
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:13,199
9...

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,034
8...

19
00:01:15,117 --> 00:01:17,036
7...

20
00:01:17,078 --> 00:01:18,913
6...

21
00:01:18,996 --> 00:01:20,915
5...

22
00:01:20,956 --> 00:01:22,458
4...

23
00:01:22,541 --> 00:01:25,211
3...

24
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:27,505
2...

25
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:28,506
1.

26
00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:54,115
There is nothing wrong

27
00:01:54,198 --> 00:01:56,033
with your television set.

28
00:01:56,075 --> 00:01:58,661
Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

29
00:01:58,744 --> 00:02:01,580
We are
controlling transmission.

30
00:02:01,664 --> 00:02:04,458
We will control
the horizontal.

31
00:02:04,542 --> 00:02:06,544
We will control
the vertical.

32
00:02:06,585 --> 00:02:09,213
We can change the focus
to a soft blur

33
00:02:09,296 --> 00:02:11,590
or sharpen it
to crystal clarity.

34
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:13,592
For the next hour,
sit quietly,

35
00:02:13,676 --> 00:02:16,220
and we will control
all that you see and hear.

36
00:02:16,262 --> 00:02:19,515
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.

37
00:02:19,598 --> 00:02:23,102
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

38
00:02:23,227 --> 00:02:25,980
which reaches from
the inner minds to...

39
00:02:26,021 --> 00:02:28,107
The outer limits.

40
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:50,129
When fear is too terrible,

41
00:02:50,254 --> 00:02:54,300
when reality
is too agonizing,

42
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:58,512
we seek escape
in manufactured danger,

43
00:02:58,554 --> 00:03:02,600
in the thrills
and pleasures of pretending

44
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:07,646
in the amusement parks
of our unamusing world.

45
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:10,191
Here in frantic pretending,

46
00:03:10,274 --> 00:03:13,944
man finds escape
and temporary peace

47
00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:15,571
and goes home tired enough

48
00:03:15,654 --> 00:03:19,408
to sleep
a short, deep sleep.

49
00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:22,077
But what happens here
when night comes?

50
00:03:22,119 --> 00:03:26,790
When pretending ends
and reality begins?

51
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:45,804
And now
in your vis-a-screen,

52
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,057
you can see the Milky Way,

53
00:05:48,098 --> 00:05:50,017
a giant system
of stars, planets,

54
00:05:50,142 --> 00:05:52,061
and clouds of dust and gas

55
00:05:52,144 --> 00:05:57,316
which measure 100,000
light-years in diameter.

56
00:05:57,358 --> 00:06:00,944
Our sun is one of the stars
in the Milky Way,

57
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,654
rotating with it like...

58
00:06:02,738 --> 00:06:05,324
Some chair
on a great Ferris wheel.

59
00:06:05,366 --> 00:06:09,953
Does life exist somewhere
other than this Earth?

60
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:12,206
There are a billion stars
in the Milky Way

61
00:06:12,289 --> 00:06:15,334
giving light and heat
to its many planets,

62
00:06:15,376 --> 00:06:18,295
and the possibility
of discovering other beings

63
00:06:18,337 --> 00:06:21,465
is no longer fantasy.

64
00:06:21,507 --> 00:06:22,466
Perhaps they will be

65
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:23,967
even more intelligent
than we are.

66
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:27,054
Perhaps... perhaps
we can learn from them

67
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:31,058
not only the secret
of our origin, but...

68
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,770
How to keep from
destroying ourselves.

69
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:40,609
And now we reverse rockets,

70
00:06:40,651 --> 00:06:41,735
and we're homeward bound

71
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:44,863
on a true course
to the Joyland space port.

72
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:48,283
You positively
mystify me.

73
00:06:48,325 --> 00:06:49,952
Why?

74
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:51,286
Oh, philosophizing

75
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:53,288
about life
on other planets

76
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:55,332
for the benefit
of one small boy.

77
00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:57,918
Well, maybe young people
are the only ones

78
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,920
who really listen
and understand.

79
00:07:00,003 --> 00:07:02,673
You can't reach
a closed mind.

80
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:04,216
Anyway,

81
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:06,552
I get tired of making
the same old speech.

82
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:08,220
You know, you
don't belong here.

83
00:07:09,471 --> 00:07:10,931
No, I'm serious.

84
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:13,350
I mean, who works
in amusement parks?

85
00:07:13,392 --> 00:07:15,394
Drifters,
ex-carnies,

86
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:18,479
and students during
summer vacation.

87
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,565
And lovely artists.

88
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:20,524
Oh, yes,

89
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,192
artists who can't
sell their paintings.

90
00:07:22,317 --> 00:07:25,404
But I prefer this
to waiting tables.

91
00:07:25,446 --> 00:07:28,407
Well, I belong
wherever I happen to be.

92
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:29,825
I am a drifter.

93
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:35,080
We are reentering
the Earth's atmosphere now.

94
00:07:35,164 --> 00:07:38,459
Stand by for retrorockets.

95
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:42,921
And there go
the retrorockets.

96
00:07:43,005 --> 00:07:44,965
Breaking procedure
has reduced our speed

97
00:07:45,007 --> 00:07:48,927
from a maximum
24,900 miles per hour

98
00:07:49,011 --> 00:07:51,221
to suborbital velocity.

99
00:07:51,305 --> 00:07:53,223
Stand by for
changeover and landing.

100
00:07:57,644 --> 00:07:59,730
What are
you drifting from?

101
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:01,982
You know, you have
the occupational disease

102
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:04,818
of all undiscovered artists...

103
00:08:04,902 --> 00:08:05,819
A, um...

104
00:08:05,903 --> 00:08:07,946
A hyperactive imagination

105
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:10,532
snooping. Ha ha.

106
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:11,867
Well, a man
who reads

107
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:14,203
Kant's Critique
of pure reason

108
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:16,330
does not belong
where artists

109
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:18,749
who can't sell
their paintings belong.

110
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:20,876
Or did I imagine
you reading that...

111
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:22,669
And in
the original German?

112
00:08:23,921 --> 00:08:27,174
Well, I'm
a compulsive reader.

113
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:28,675
It might be interesting

114
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:30,344
to snoop into your life
one of these days.

115
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:31,762
Well, you can start

116
00:08:31,803 --> 00:08:33,597
the minute we get back
to Earth if you like.

117
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,350
I'm free for lunch.

118
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:39,478
And there's California
on the lower screen.

119
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:41,939
Now Los Angeles county
and Joyland.

120
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:43,440
We're coming in!

121
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:47,819
And it's a perfect landing.

122
00:09:03,001 --> 00:09:06,088
On behalf of
Captian Crowell and myself,

123
00:09:06,171 --> 00:09:08,799
thank you for joining us
on our trip into space.

124
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,592
We hope that you've
enjoyed yourself

125
00:09:10,676 --> 00:09:12,886
and that you'll be traveling
with us soon again.

126
00:09:30,821 --> 00:09:32,447
I know a little
enchilada stand

127
00:09:32,531 --> 00:09:34,116
next door to a,
uh, roller coaster.

128
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:35,784
Now, if we walk fast...

129
00:09:35,826 --> 00:09:38,412
Well, that doesn't
sound too seductive.

130
00:09:38,495 --> 00:09:39,538
I accept.

131
00:09:42,958 --> 00:09:44,126
Hey, what is it?

132
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,130
I feel as if
something's wrong.

133
00:09:50,632 --> 00:09:51,883
How?

134
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:54,386
As if we were
being watched.

135
00:09:56,722 --> 00:09:58,932
From, uh...

136
00:09:59,016 --> 00:10:00,726
Somewhere out there?

137
00:10:01,018 --> 00:10:05,147
From somewhere close.

138
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:07,441
From everywhere.

139
00:10:07,524 --> 00:10:09,651
Now, that's impossible.

140
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:11,570
There aren't enough
people in this whole park

141
00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:13,697
to watch us
from everywhere.

142
00:10:13,739 --> 00:10:15,115
Maybe that's it.

143
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:17,576
An amusement park
shouldn't be as empty

144
00:10:17,701 --> 00:10:18,577
as this one
always is.

145
00:10:18,702 --> 00:10:20,579
It wouldn't be
if the management

146
00:10:20,662 --> 00:10:21,997
knew anything
about management.

147
00:10:23,999 --> 00:10:25,375
Well, um...

148
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:27,961
Shouldn't we strike
while the enchiladas are hot?

149
00:10:28,045 --> 00:10:32,174
Dave, I asked what
you're drifting from.

150
00:10:32,215 --> 00:10:34,593
I'd like to change that.

151
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,803
What are you
drifting toward?

152
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:39,181
Well, we were
going to have lunch

153
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:41,933
so, um, I could
snoop into your life.

154
00:10:42,017 --> 00:10:44,811
Are you looking for
a wife or a girlfriend?

155
00:10:46,772 --> 00:10:49,608
I know what's
watching you, Mara.

156
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:51,360
You do?

157
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:55,530
Mm-hmm. The eyes
of your conscience.

158
00:10:55,572 --> 00:10:59,534
Oh. Then I'm not
in any real danger.

159
00:10:59,618 --> 00:11:02,746
My conscience and I
understand each other.

160
00:12:08,645 --> 00:12:10,439
The final facets
of conversion

161
00:12:10,522 --> 00:12:11,815
have been completed.

162
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:13,316
Achievement
accomplished

163
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,402
without noticeable
modifications.

164
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:18,780
Humans still see ship
as amusement-park ride.

165
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,992
Human subjects meeting
required specifications

166
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,161
have been psycho-organized
into area

167
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:27,330
and will enter ship
according to plan.

168
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,500
Will recontact Imperia

169
00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:33,295
when ship is beyond
Earth's atmosphere.

170
00:13:19,174 --> 00:13:20,759
R.J.

171
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:23,761
Of all the cheating,
miserable contraptions.

172
00:13:23,762 --> 00:13:28,433
R.J.,
it's only a dime.

173
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:29,392
Ah!

174
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:34,648
Help yourself,
Sonny boy.

175
00:14:07,889 --> 00:14:10,308
R.J., please.

176
00:14:10,392 --> 00:14:13,186
We came here
for a good time.

177
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:14,813
I'm having all the fun
in the world

178
00:14:14,896 --> 00:14:16,356
I mean to tell you!

179
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:41,840
Aah!

180
00:14:41,965 --> 00:14:43,216
Don't be frightened.

181
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:45,135
I'm as human as you are.

182
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:50,432
You've taken jobs you didn't
want to take, haven't you?

183
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:52,851
Well, I wouldn't take one
that would degrade me.

184
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:55,854
Does the job
degrade the man,

185
00:14:55,979 --> 00:14:57,689
or is it perhaps
the other way around?

186
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:02,235
These are complimentary.

187
00:15:02,319 --> 00:15:04,029
Tickets for the space ride.

188
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,823
I didn't ask to go
on any space ride.

189
00:15:06,865 --> 00:15:08,283
I don't even know
what I'm doing

190
00:15:08,325 --> 00:15:10,452
in this so-called
amusement park.

191
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,871
Perhaps you were
compelled to come here

192
00:15:12,913 --> 00:15:15,832
by some sleeping need
for unreality.

193
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:19,044
An escape from reality
is usually costly.

194
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:20,795
This one is free.

195
00:15:20,837 --> 00:15:24,007
Please take these.

196
00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:30,889
Thank you.

197
00:15:31,014 --> 00:15:32,891
Thank you
very kindly, mister.

198
00:15:32,974 --> 00:15:35,143
May you enjoy the journey.

199
00:15:39,981 --> 00:15:44,527
It... it was nice
of him to pick us.

200
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:47,656
Probably nobody wants
to go on that ride.

201
00:15:48,782 --> 00:15:50,283
I do.

202
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:53,787
Well, supposing I don't.

203
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:02,796
I'm sorry, Sue Ann.

204
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:05,507
It's all right.

205
00:16:05,548 --> 00:16:08,385
I don't mean to be sharp
with you all the time.

206
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:11,179
Well, one of these days,

207
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:13,014
I'll make it up to you.

208
00:16:13,098 --> 00:16:16,142
One of these days...

209
00:16:16,226 --> 00:16:17,811
You know, there's
plenty of opportunity

210
00:16:17,852 --> 00:16:20,355
out here, Sue Ann,
for a man like me.

211
00:16:20,438 --> 00:16:23,191
If I could just find
that one little door

212
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:24,192
and get my foot into it...

213
00:16:24,275 --> 00:16:27,654
It'll have to be
a big door, R.J.

214
00:16:27,696 --> 00:16:30,198
You got awful
big feet, you know?

215
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:32,951
Most big men do.

216
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:37,664
Come on, lady, before
I get too busy to notice you.

217
00:16:37,706 --> 00:16:39,457
Let's go have a look
at that universe.

218
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,470
Buddy, maybe we
ought to go now.

219
00:16:52,554 --> 00:16:54,848
Uh, the luncheon's
in his honor, Denise.

220
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:57,225
He can keep them
all waiting.

221
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,561
The luncheon's
for the whole team.

222
00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:00,854
Oh, well, yeah, sure.

223
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:03,523
But, uh, you are
the whole team, buddy.

224
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:05,942
We'll get there
in plenty of time.

225
00:17:06,026 --> 00:17:07,861
How about taking
these back, huh?

226
00:17:07,902 --> 00:17:08,778
Oh, yeah.

227
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:11,072
And...

228
00:17:11,156 --> 00:17:12,907
Buy us
some more rides.

229
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:13,908
Oh, no, no, no.

230
00:17:13,992 --> 00:17:15,160
This is my treat
this time, huh?

231
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:27,088
Buddy, you've been
acting strange all day.

232
00:17:27,172 --> 00:17:29,257
Well, a football hero

233
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:31,092
is supposed to be
normal, uncomplicated,

234
00:17:31,176 --> 00:17:33,261
and transparent
as glass.

235
00:17:33,303 --> 00:17:36,848
And, uh, putty in
a pretty girl's hands.

236
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:42,312
Do you love me?

237
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:44,856
I'm wearing your pin.

238
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,444
Yeah,
a football hero's pin.

239
00:17:49,527 --> 00:17:51,738
What if I weren't a hero?

240
00:17:57,494 --> 00:17:59,829
Aaaaah!

241
00:18:02,082 --> 00:18:05,001
Forgive me for frightening
the young lady.

242
00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:06,711
I saw she was falling.

243
00:18:06,795 --> 00:18:09,923
I, uh...

244
00:18:10,006 --> 00:18:11,925
I forgot
about the costume.

245
00:18:11,966 --> 00:18:14,219
But as long
as I'm here...

246
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:18,348
Free. A free ride

247
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:20,058
through the endless
freedom of the universe.

248
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:21,810
No, Buddy.

249
00:18:21,851 --> 00:18:23,770
We're late enough
as it is.

250
00:18:23,895 --> 00:18:25,939
Perhaps too late,
in which case,

251
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:27,816
the universe may be
just the place to go

252
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:28,858
and start over.

253
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:44,916
The young lady will
take your tickets.

254
00:18:44,999 --> 00:18:46,960
I hope you enjoy
your journey.

255
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:55,009
Let's wait inside.
We'll give them to her there.

256
00:19:16,698 --> 00:19:18,032
Welcome aboard.

257
00:20:14,923 --> 00:20:16,007
Good afternoon.

258
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:17,592
This is
your space stewardess

259
00:20:17,675 --> 00:20:19,010
Miss Matthews speaking.

260
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:22,013
Your tour officer
is Captian Crowell.

261
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:24,807
He'll explain,
in authentic space-age ease,

262
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:26,184
the wondrous sights
you'll see

263
00:20:26,267 --> 00:20:28,770
if you keep your eyes
on the vis-a-screen.

264
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:30,480
We wish you
a pleasant journey

265
00:20:30,521 --> 00:20:32,023
and request
that all passengers

266
00:20:32,065 --> 00:20:33,858
fasten their seat belts.

267
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:53,461
Did you hear
that sound?

268
00:20:53,544 --> 00:20:55,088
From the radio unit
upstairs,

269
00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:58,049
a kind of, uh... Voice.

270
00:20:58,132 --> 00:21:00,760
You said my conscience
was watching me.

271
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:03,346
Maybe yours
is talking to you.

272
00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:05,640
Maybe.

273
00:21:05,723 --> 00:21:08,142
Ladies and gentlemen,

274
00:21:08,226 --> 00:21:10,936
welcome aboard
our space flight.

275
00:21:10,937 --> 00:21:13,398
Our ship is
a single-stage vehicle

276
00:21:13,481 --> 00:21:16,025
using nuclear power rather
than chemical propellants

277
00:21:16,067 --> 00:21:18,861
utilized in
multi-staged rockets.

278
00:21:18,945 --> 00:21:21,906
Our escape velocity will
be 15,000 miles an hour,

279
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:24,033
and we'll be traveling
in a figure-eight orbit

280
00:21:24,075 --> 00:21:26,369
that will take us
around the moon.

281
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:29,539
In just a few moments,
after our equipment check,

282
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:31,374
we'll be ready to blast off.

283
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:17,295
Stand by for countdown
and launch.

284
00:22:47,825 --> 00:22:50,661
Aaaah!

285
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:51,621
They put on
a very realistic show.

286
00:22:51,704 --> 00:22:54,165
I'm gravely sorry.

287
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:56,084
I did not intend
to reveal myself

288
00:22:56,167 --> 00:22:57,835
until you needed me.

289
00:22:57,877 --> 00:22:59,921
Horror is a luxury

290
00:23:00,004 --> 00:23:02,090
the desperate
cannot afford.

291
00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:03,925
Sit down,
Miss Matthews.

292
00:23:03,966 --> 00:23:05,426
Fasten your belt.

293
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,937
Would you be good enough
to fasten your seat belt?

294
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:18,398
What's going on
around here, huh?

295
00:23:18,439 --> 00:23:20,775
There are rules
in space flight.

296
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:23,027
Not this kind
of space flight.

297
00:23:23,111 --> 00:23:26,280
Oh, R.J.,
do as he says.

298
00:23:26,364 --> 00:23:27,782
No.

299
00:23:27,824 --> 00:23:31,244
Tell me, why did
you come aboard?

300
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:32,912
You gave me
a free ticket.

301
00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:34,997
How can you enjoy
the things you get free

302
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,417
if you won't pretend
they're real?

303
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,128
Maybe I don't
like to pretend.

304
00:23:40,169 --> 00:23:43,381
Perhaps you don't,
but you do it.

305
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:46,968
You do it incessantly,
doesn't he?

306
00:23:47,051 --> 00:23:48,469
Listen, now...

307
00:23:48,553 --> 00:23:50,972
Look at this, Mr. Beasley.

308
00:23:57,645 --> 00:23:59,939
Now he's trying
to hypnotize me.

309
00:24:00,022 --> 00:24:02,567
It's too late
to allow you to leave.

310
00:24:02,608 --> 00:24:03,776
Neither can I allow

311
00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:05,486
your frail body
to be bashed to death

312
00:24:05,528 --> 00:24:07,947
against the sides
of this craft.

313
00:24:08,030 --> 00:24:09,991
I can disintegrate
you, however.

314
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:13,244
You can?

315
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:16,622
And leave not a trace
of you for anyone to mourn.

316
00:24:24,714 --> 00:24:27,341
Fasten your belt, R.J.,
and pretend

317
00:24:27,425 --> 00:24:30,386
what all the rest of us
are pretending for a change.

318
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:58,039
Aaaaah!

319
00:24:59,248 --> 00:25:00,875
Get everybody out!

320
00:25:07,215 --> 00:25:10,134
Get out!
Everybody, get out!

321
00:25:12,053 --> 00:25:15,097
Get out!
Everybody, get out!

322
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:17,474
Stay.

323
00:25:17,475 --> 00:25:20,811
Stay. Fasten yourselves
in or you'll be killed.

324
00:25:20,895 --> 00:25:22,355
Seat yourselves.

325
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:25,191
We must not lose
another precious moment.

326
00:25:25,274 --> 00:25:26,275
Tell them.

327
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,236
Please...

328
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,071
I don't know
what this is,

329
00:25:30,154 --> 00:25:31,989
but I'm afraid
it's real.

330
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:34,700
I'll explain later,
when you're capable

331
00:25:34,784 --> 00:25:36,285
of listening
to explanations.

332
00:25:36,369 --> 00:25:37,870
Do not be afraid.

333
00:25:37,912 --> 00:25:40,790
You have nothing to lose
but your lives.

334
00:26:12,655 --> 00:26:15,783
Stand by for countdown
and launch.

335
00:26:22,999 --> 00:26:28,296
10... 9... 8...

336
00:26:28,379 --> 00:26:34,176
7... 6... 5...

337
00:26:34,218 --> 00:26:40,725
4... 3... 2...

338
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:41,892
1.

339
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:53,482
Sue Ann,
I'm scared.

340
00:28:53,524 --> 00:28:55,443
I'm scared,
Sue Ann.

341
00:28:59,864 --> 00:29:01,949
Are we...
Where are we?!

342
00:29:01,991 --> 00:29:04,243
We're in space.

343
00:29:15,379 --> 00:29:17,673
I don't like this,

344
00:29:17,715 --> 00:29:20,968
and I don't stand for
anything I don't like.

345
00:29:22,303 --> 00:29:24,305
Nothing's fun
when it's this real,

346
00:29:24,388 --> 00:29:25,431
nothing in life.

347
00:29:29,894 --> 00:29:32,605
You call it fun when
we actually passed out?!

348
00:29:32,688 --> 00:29:34,106
You call it fun
when we actually

349
00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:35,649
got scared there
for a minute?!

350
00:29:35,691 --> 00:29:38,360
Well, I don't
call it fun,

351
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:40,279
and I'm not stayin'!

352
00:29:40,362 --> 00:29:42,448
Don't. You can't leave!

353
00:29:42,531 --> 00:29:45,117
Do you want
to kill us all?

354
00:29:45,159 --> 00:29:47,661
Look. Look!

355
00:29:47,745 --> 00:29:49,580
Those
are the stars...

356
00:29:49,663 --> 00:29:52,124
Above you, beneath you,
all about you.

357
00:29:52,208 --> 00:29:54,043
We're in space.

358
00:29:54,084 --> 00:29:57,755
Now, believe it.
It's real.

359
00:30:06,472 --> 00:30:10,142
Why? Why is it real?

360
00:30:10,226 --> 00:30:11,644
Dave.

361
00:30:15,940 --> 00:30:17,817
Come sit down.

362
00:30:32,331 --> 00:30:34,917
He said he'd come down
later and explain.

363
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,961
Mara...

364
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:56,021
I bid you welcome...

365
00:30:58,691 --> 00:30:59,900
To the universe.

366
00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:08,200
No!

367
00:31:08,242 --> 00:31:10,828
No! It's a mask.
It isn't real!

368
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:12,496
It's a mask.
Take it off.

369
00:31:12,538 --> 00:31:14,498
It's a fake.
Take it off!

370
00:31:18,586 --> 00:31:20,129
Aaah!

371
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:22,590
Aaah!

372
00:31:27,011 --> 00:31:28,345
I want to go home.

373
00:31:28,429 --> 00:31:29,680
Shh.

374
00:31:29,722 --> 00:31:32,057
Please let me go home.

375
00:31:33,851 --> 00:31:36,353
All right.
Everything's all right.

376
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:38,230
Aah.
shh.

377
00:31:38,272 --> 00:31:40,190
We should have gone
to the luncheon.

378
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:42,192
You were supposed
to be there.

379
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:44,862
This would
never have happened.

380
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:46,739
I'd be safe.

381
00:31:48,324 --> 00:31:50,784
Why did we
have to come here?!

382
00:31:52,494 --> 00:31:54,914
Why didn't we just...

383
00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,710
Come on.

384
00:32:06,717 --> 00:32:08,551
Is this all there is to it?

385
00:32:08,552 --> 00:32:13,432
Somebody pushes a button,
and we just go sailing

386
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:17,436
into the universe?
Is that it?

387
00:32:17,478 --> 00:32:19,813
Well, don't we do
anything about it?

388
00:32:21,357 --> 00:32:22,608
You're... you're real swell

389
00:32:22,691 --> 00:32:24,818
at pretending
to be a Captain, Captain.

390
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:28,113
You speak that space age-ese
like a native, don't you?

391
00:32:28,197 --> 00:32:31,784
Yes, sir. You, Captain,
sure pretend good.

392
00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:35,746
Oh, excuse me.
You sure pretend well.

393
00:32:37,831 --> 00:32:40,084
My dear old dad
is a Captain, too, sir.

394
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:42,127
You ought
to see him pretend.

395
00:32:44,046 --> 00:32:47,091
Oh, we... we just
call it pretending.

396
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:50,052
Its real name
is hypocrisy.

397
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:51,303
It means...

398
00:32:51,387 --> 00:32:53,055
I know what it means.

399
00:32:53,097 --> 00:32:56,892
I know all your words
and how you use them.

400
00:32:56,934 --> 00:32:58,727
Oh.

401
00:33:00,479 --> 00:33:01,438
We've got
an intellectual

402
00:33:01,522 --> 00:33:03,941
on the team, fellas.

403
00:33:03,983 --> 00:33:04,984
Are we gonna let him

404
00:33:05,025 --> 00:33:06,276
take the fun
out of our game,

405
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,569
or are we gonna
splatter him

406
00:33:07,611 --> 00:33:09,029
all over the field?

407
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:10,739
Splatter him!

408
00:33:13,617 --> 00:33:14,702
Kill him!

409
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:16,078
Kill him for real!

410
00:33:34,471 --> 00:33:35,556
Come on,
help me, Tommy.

411
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:36,765
No.
come on!

412
00:33:36,849 --> 00:33:38,767
No. I saw
what he did to you.

413
00:33:38,809 --> 00:33:40,436
Come on, we'll
get him together.

414
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:41,687
Teamwork, Tommy.
no!

415
00:33:41,729 --> 00:33:42,813
You get him yourself.

416
00:33:42,896 --> 00:33:44,314
Or can't you do anything
all by yourself

417
00:33:44,356 --> 00:33:45,441
except take bribes, huh?

418
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:46,775
What are you
talkin' about,

419
00:33:46,859 --> 00:33:48,360
Tommy, old friend?

420
00:33:48,402 --> 00:33:49,319
What you and I both know

421
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:50,946
and the whole world
will find out.

422
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:54,033
My own private slave
gonna tell 'em,

423
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:56,452
my loyal,
faithful gopher

424
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:58,203
gonna turn fink on me?

425
00:33:58,245 --> 00:33:59,496
The problem is
you threw the game, buddy.

426
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:01,331
That's finkship
of the highest.

427
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:02,875
Buddy.

428
00:34:02,958 --> 00:34:04,376
Oh, it would have been
some luncheon, Denise,

429
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:06,962
everyone makin' him out
to be the big hero. Big hero.

430
00:34:07,004 --> 00:34:08,964
And him sitting there,
a bigger hypocrite

431
00:34:09,006 --> 00:34:10,799
than his brass star papa!

432
00:34:10,883 --> 00:34:12,634
I'd hate you, Tommy,

433
00:34:12,676 --> 00:34:13,677
but you
can't hate someone

434
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:14,845
you never liked.

435
00:34:16,889 --> 00:34:18,682
You meant something
to me, buddy.

436
00:34:18,724 --> 00:34:21,185
Shut up!

437
00:34:24,021 --> 00:34:27,107
You meant something
to a lot of people.

438
00:34:27,191 --> 00:34:29,026
Shut up. Shut up!

439
00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:44,541
Aaaah!

440
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,105
To me, to every member
of my race,

441
00:35:06,188 --> 00:35:08,649
the dark aridness
of the universe

442
00:35:08,690 --> 00:35:12,402
was once an endless,
laneless thoroughfare,

443
00:35:12,486 --> 00:35:15,739
unrestricted and harmless.

444
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:18,617
In some fanciful flight
of evolution,

445
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:21,537
we Imperions, like the birds
of your own world,

446
00:35:21,578 --> 00:35:26,416
were given the freedom
to soar above our destinies.

447
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:29,169
And, like the men
of your world,

448
00:35:29,211 --> 00:35:31,088
we chose to discard

449
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:33,340
a greater part
of that freedom...

450
00:35:33,382 --> 00:35:36,802
To confine ourselves
to a single star,

451
00:35:36,885 --> 00:35:39,388
a planet we call Imperia.

452
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:41,056
In some of us,

453
00:35:41,098 --> 00:35:43,642
the soaring freedom
still lives

454
00:35:43,725 --> 00:35:46,060
and must be employed
to distract disaster

455
00:35:46,061 --> 00:35:47,479
from the rest of us.

456
00:35:47,521 --> 00:35:49,690
In our solar system,

457
00:35:49,773 --> 00:35:53,026
there is an asteroid
called Tythra.

458
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:56,905
Its atmosphere is similar
to that of Earth,

459
00:35:56,989 --> 00:35:59,241
and it is a threat to us.

460
00:35:59,283 --> 00:36:02,035
However, properly colonized,

461
00:36:02,077 --> 00:36:04,163
its course
can be redirected

462
00:36:04,204 --> 00:36:05,706
and controlled.

463
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:07,708
You've abducted us
for that purpose.

464
00:36:07,791 --> 00:36:09,376
The choices
were not as random

465
00:36:09,459 --> 00:36:11,753
as it might seem.

466
00:36:11,837 --> 00:36:14,381
I've been here
a long time.

467
00:36:14,423 --> 00:36:17,509
I've studied
the human specimen.

468
00:36:17,593 --> 00:36:20,429
So many long to soar.

469
00:36:20,512 --> 00:36:22,764
Great expenditures
are directed

470
00:36:22,806 --> 00:36:24,850
toward the leaving
of Earth.

471
00:36:24,892 --> 00:36:27,436
Yet in all the minds
I've probed,

472
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,230
I found not one
genuine desire

473
00:36:30,314 --> 00:36:32,482
for total freedom.

474
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:34,276
None of you, it seems,

475
00:36:34,359 --> 00:36:37,529
truly wants to leave
this troubled star.

476
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:46,038
And so, regretfully,
abduction became necessary.

477
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:47,831
I chose those of you

478
00:36:47,873 --> 00:36:50,125
who would have
the least regret,

479
00:36:50,167 --> 00:36:52,336
who would leave
the least behind,

480
00:36:52,419 --> 00:36:55,172
and who would have
the most to gain

481
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:59,593
by a new chance in
a new, undistorted world.

482
00:36:59,635 --> 00:37:02,638
I think you've made
a disastrous mistake.

483
00:37:02,721 --> 00:37:05,807
You need scientists,
not discontented...

484
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:07,559
dreamers.

485
00:37:07,643 --> 00:37:10,311
One scientist
should be enough,

486
00:37:10,312 --> 00:37:12,648
Dr. Crowell.

487
00:37:20,072 --> 00:37:21,156
When do you estimate
the asteroid

488
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:22,491
will hit Imperia?

489
00:37:22,574 --> 00:37:26,036
In your time scale,
82 years.

490
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:28,872
Not a second sooner
or later.

491
00:37:30,207 --> 00:37:32,292
That isn't enough time.

492
00:37:32,376 --> 00:37:33,710
That's hardly a minute.

493
00:37:33,794 --> 00:37:35,671
No, it would not be

494
00:37:35,712 --> 00:37:37,631
if we used
only the technology

495
00:37:37,714 --> 00:37:39,633
familiar to you.

496
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:41,343
But we have
a 4-century advance

497
00:37:41,385 --> 00:37:43,303
upon the scientists
of Earth.

498
00:37:43,387 --> 00:37:46,473
A mind of genius,
such as yours,

499
00:37:46,556 --> 00:37:50,394
should be able to absorb
a 4-century advance within...

500
00:37:52,562 --> 00:37:54,940
7.4 years...

501
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:58,819
Uh, assuming such a mind
wanted to absorb.

502
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:01,321
You stopped wanting
to exploit that genius,

503
00:38:01,405 --> 00:38:02,906
Dr. Crowell.

504
00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:05,242
You did not stop
wanting to expand it

505
00:38:05,284 --> 00:38:07,452
for good
and noble purpose.

506
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:15,210
Sometimes I wonder.

507
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:27,389
They offered me
prizes and honors

508
00:38:27,431 --> 00:38:29,850
and even
moderate riches.

509
00:38:29,891 --> 00:38:31,143
And all I had to do

510
00:38:31,226 --> 00:38:32,977
was to let them
stand over my shoulder

511
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:34,980
and make suggestions.

512
00:38:35,022 --> 00:38:36,356
I didn't want that. I...

513
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,108
I wanted to go off
somewhere alone

514
00:38:38,191 --> 00:38:41,069
and unravel the mysteries
I preferred.

515
00:38:42,195 --> 00:38:45,615
The ones that
mystify the heart, not...

516
00:38:45,699 --> 00:38:47,868
Not the defense department.

517
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:53,749
I didn't know
there was anything on Earth

518
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:54,916
worth defending.

519
00:38:57,294 --> 00:39:00,547
I'm giving you your chance
to defend all of Earth,

520
00:39:00,630 --> 00:39:02,966
everything
and everyone on it.

521
00:39:03,050 --> 00:39:06,553
I'm giving that chance
to all of you.

522
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:08,972
Why me? Why us?!

523
00:39:09,056 --> 00:39:10,932
What do your troubles
got to do with me?

524
00:39:10,974 --> 00:39:14,186
My troubles?

525
00:39:14,227 --> 00:39:19,149
The troubles of the universe
are universal, Mr. Beasley.

526
00:39:19,191 --> 00:39:21,443
So is its capriciousness.

527
00:39:21,526 --> 00:39:24,946
You've seen the game
called billiards.

528
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:26,907
The universe invented it.

529
00:39:26,948 --> 00:39:29,701
An asteroid strikes Imperia.

530
00:39:29,785 --> 00:39:33,038
It's knocked out
of its own solar system.

531
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,832
It, in turn, collides
with another planet.

532
00:39:35,874 --> 00:39:39,503
And the game
cannot be fixed.

533
00:39:39,586 --> 00:39:42,172
If it's going
to collide with Earth,

534
00:39:42,214 --> 00:39:44,841
it will collide with Earth,

535
00:39:44,925 --> 00:39:47,719
and it is going
to collide with Earth.

536
00:39:47,803 --> 00:39:51,556
I wonder what
it's like to...

537
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,476
Play a game
that can't be fixed.

538
00:39:57,187 --> 00:39:59,689
Maybe we're
lucky, Denise.

539
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:02,109
Lucky?!

540
00:40:02,192 --> 00:40:04,111
To get
another chance.

541
00:40:04,194 --> 00:40:07,489
I don't need
another chance.

542
00:40:07,531 --> 00:40:09,366
How do you know
what I'm leaving behind

543
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:11,243
and what
I'm not leaving behind?

544
00:40:11,326 --> 00:40:13,078
I had everything
a girl would want.

545
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,414
What did you want?

546
00:40:15,497 --> 00:40:17,416
The admiration of men.

547
00:40:17,499 --> 00:40:19,918
The envy of women.

548
00:40:20,001 --> 00:40:22,378
Are those lovely goals,

549
00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:23,755
or are they just
the hungers of the heart,

550
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:25,340
incapable
of an honest feeling

551
00:40:25,382 --> 00:40:26,800
for another human being?

552
00:40:26,883 --> 00:40:28,385
I've been in love.

553
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:29,886
I was even pinned
to Buddy.

554
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:31,513
Would you shout this
to the world

555
00:40:31,555 --> 00:40:33,140
when it learned
that he accepted a bribe

556
00:40:33,223 --> 00:40:34,307
to lose a game?

557
00:40:36,518 --> 00:40:39,062
Would you love the cheat
as you did the hero?

558
00:40:44,651 --> 00:40:48,238
All of you...
What have you to lose?

559
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,574
Does one of you have something
real and tangible to lose?

560
00:40:50,657 --> 00:40:53,660
Something worthwhile?

561
00:40:53,702 --> 00:40:56,746
Mr. Beasley,
will you mourn the loss

562
00:40:56,830 --> 00:41:00,167
of your shallow,
impossible dream of success?

563
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:03,128
Will you be sorry to stop
wearing out your shoes

564
00:41:03,211 --> 00:41:04,838
and your wife's soul

565
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:08,175
in the search of
a nonexistent rainbow?

566
00:41:14,139 --> 00:41:16,975
And you, Miss Matthews.

567
00:41:17,017 --> 00:41:18,727
Will you miss
the loneliness,

568
00:41:18,810 --> 00:41:21,521
the guilt, the regret,

569
00:41:21,605 --> 00:41:22,981
over a love affair
that ended

570
00:41:23,023 --> 00:41:24,900
because it had
no moral right to start?

571
00:41:29,905 --> 00:41:32,699
And Dr. Crowell...

572
00:41:35,785 --> 00:41:38,914
I leave nothing behind...

573
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,832
Except disillusionment
in my fellow man

574
00:41:40,874 --> 00:41:44,794
and hopelessness
in myself.

575
00:41:44,836 --> 00:41:47,172
Well...

576
00:41:47,255 --> 00:41:51,051
maybe we could all
use another chance.

577
00:41:51,134 --> 00:41:52,844
I know I could.

578
00:41:52,886 --> 00:41:55,180
Come then.

579
00:41:55,263 --> 00:41:57,682
We'll begin
to plan the future.

580
00:41:57,724 --> 00:42:00,310
Everyone's future.

581
00:42:08,777 --> 00:42:10,529
Are you all right?

582
00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:11,530
I think
there's something

583
00:42:11,613 --> 00:42:13,865
in the first aid
kit. I'll get it.

584
00:42:19,955 --> 00:42:21,873
Can I help,
Denise?

585
00:42:21,957 --> 00:42:24,626
Leave me alone.

586
00:42:24,668 --> 00:42:26,127
If you love me,
you'll find some way

587
00:42:26,211 --> 00:42:29,714
to stop this
awful nightmare.

588
00:42:29,798 --> 00:42:32,384
Nightmares end
when you stop dreaming.

589
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:36,304
Take me home, Buddy.

590
00:42:36,388 --> 00:42:37,514
I don't care
what you've done.

591
00:42:37,597 --> 00:42:39,182
I understand.

592
00:42:39,224 --> 00:42:41,476
I still love you.

593
00:42:41,518 --> 00:42:43,895
Just please
take me home.

594
00:42:43,979 --> 00:42:45,355
I don't know how.

595
00:42:45,438 --> 00:42:47,315
Captian Crowell does.

596
00:42:47,357 --> 00:42:49,359
He could take us
back to Earth.

597
00:42:49,442 --> 00:42:51,194
What can we do?

598
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:53,029
None of us
can fly this.

599
00:42:53,113 --> 00:42:54,531
What about Crowell?

600
00:42:54,614 --> 00:42:56,241
The Imperian said
he was the only one

601
00:42:56,324 --> 00:42:58,243
who could understand
their machinery.

602
00:42:58,285 --> 00:42:59,578
It doesn't mean
he can pilot

603
00:42:59,661 --> 00:43:02,872
a spaceship, though.

604
00:43:02,914 --> 00:43:04,916
He looks like
he wants to go.

605
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,168
That's what
they counted on.

606
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:09,796
Give him a chance
to be a hero...

607
00:43:09,879 --> 00:43:12,090
Boss us slaves around.

608
00:43:12,173 --> 00:43:13,925
They knew
that he'd bite.

609
00:43:13,967 --> 00:43:16,553
They needed him.

610
00:43:16,678 --> 00:43:19,556
But they missed
one thing.

611
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:21,558
Take away Crowell,

612
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:22,559
and the rest of us

613
00:43:22,642 --> 00:43:24,853
wouldn't be
a bit of use to them.

614
00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:26,646
He's the scientist,

615
00:43:26,688 --> 00:43:28,106
and if something
happened to him...

616
00:43:28,189 --> 00:43:29,608
Like what?

617
00:43:29,691 --> 00:43:32,360
Like what happened
to your friend.

618
00:43:40,952 --> 00:43:42,704
It's difficult
for me to understand

619
00:43:42,746 --> 00:43:44,706
human beings.

620
00:43:44,789 --> 00:43:47,542
You're doing
fairly well.

621
00:43:47,584 --> 00:43:49,169
You're willing to go,
aren't you,

622
00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:52,047
even though you may
resent being abducted?

623
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:55,091
Well, life is
one big abduction.

624
00:43:55,175 --> 00:43:58,553
Yes, uh,
I'm willing to go.

625
00:43:58,595 --> 00:44:00,972
The logic
behind human thought

626
00:44:01,014 --> 00:44:02,849
evades me.

627
00:44:02,932 --> 00:44:04,934
Or the lack of it?

628
00:44:05,018 --> 00:44:06,269
Throughout
your history,

629
00:44:06,311 --> 00:44:08,063
men have
volunteered readily

630
00:44:08,146 --> 00:44:09,731
to fight and die
to preserve a nation

631
00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:10,940
and its people,

632
00:44:11,024 --> 00:44:12,525
yet when
the whole planet

633
00:44:12,609 --> 00:44:13,943
faces destruction,

634
00:44:14,027 --> 00:44:14,986
those people
down there...

635
00:44:15,028 --> 00:44:18,823
It's hard
for human beings...

636
00:44:18,907 --> 00:44:21,534
To do something about
tomorrow's catastrophes,

637
00:44:21,618 --> 00:44:26,247
let alone one
that's 82 years off.

638
00:44:26,331 --> 00:44:29,084
Then you accept
our calculations?

639
00:44:29,125 --> 00:44:30,794
Oh, yes.

640
00:44:30,835 --> 00:44:31,920
I thought
I was the most

641
00:44:32,003 --> 00:44:34,631
cynical person
on Earth.

642
00:44:34,756 --> 00:44:36,466
I believe if
this collision

643
00:44:36,508 --> 00:44:38,259
were going to
happen tomorrow

644
00:44:38,343 --> 00:44:40,720
or next year
or the next,

645
00:44:40,804 --> 00:44:43,014
half the population
of the Earth

646
00:44:43,056 --> 00:44:44,640
would volunteer
to go anywhere

647
00:44:44,641 --> 00:44:47,519
in the universe
to prevent it.

648
00:44:47,602 --> 00:44:48,853
Logic doesn't
get in the way

649
00:44:48,895 --> 00:44:51,439
when there's no time
to be logical.

650
00:44:51,481 --> 00:44:54,401
You, also, have shown
no reluctance

651
00:44:54,484 --> 00:44:56,903
to come to Tythra.

652
00:44:56,986 --> 00:44:59,030
Maybe
it's the company

653
00:44:59,114 --> 00:45:01,366
I've been
keeping lately.

654
00:45:30,061 --> 00:45:31,187
Aaah!

655
00:45:35,358 --> 00:45:36,943
Aaah!

656
00:45:51,708 --> 00:45:52,917
Everybody all right?

657
00:45:55,295 --> 00:45:57,380
You OK?

658
00:45:57,464 --> 00:46:00,091
No one was hurt?

659
00:46:00,175 --> 00:46:02,218
Not yet.

660
00:46:02,302 --> 00:46:03,636
You don't suppose
there's any chance

661
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:05,221
you might talk him
into taking us

662
00:46:05,263 --> 00:46:06,306
back to Earth?

663
00:46:06,389 --> 00:46:09,017
Well, uh...

664
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:11,352
I... I couldn't,
even if I wanted to.

665
00:46:11,436 --> 00:46:13,229
We're going?

666
00:46:13,271 --> 00:46:14,856
We're
really going?!

667
00:46:14,939 --> 00:46:18,610
Uh... that's right.

668
00:46:18,693 --> 00:46:21,029
No, young lady.

669
00:46:21,070 --> 00:46:23,782
The answer is no.

670
00:46:23,865 --> 00:46:25,366
R.J...

671
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:31,956
Put that away,
Mr. Beasley.

672
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,083
Killing you is
the only solution

673
00:46:34,125 --> 00:46:35,502
to our problem.

674
00:46:35,543 --> 00:46:37,545
Killing?

675
00:46:37,629 --> 00:46:39,964
They can't use us
without you.

676
00:46:40,048 --> 00:46:41,716
We'd never survive
anyplace

677
00:46:41,758 --> 00:46:44,093
without some big brain
to lord it over us,

678
00:46:44,177 --> 00:46:46,679
so you've
got to be killed.

679
00:46:47,889 --> 00:46:48,973
Aaah!

680
00:46:55,230 --> 00:46:57,982
Help him, please!

681
00:46:58,066 --> 00:46:59,108
Help Mr. Beasley.

682
00:47:19,087 --> 00:47:22,090
Aah! Buddy, get him!

683
00:47:48,157 --> 00:47:50,535
It's not deep.

684
00:48:11,848 --> 00:48:15,726
How could I be so wrong
about people?

685
00:48:15,727 --> 00:48:17,395
This wasn't
a punishment.

686
00:48:25,695 --> 00:48:27,947
It wasn't
a sentence.

687
00:48:29,991 --> 00:48:31,826
It was
a second chance.

688
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:38,625
Well, some of us
don't believe

689
00:48:38,666 --> 00:48:40,877
in second chances...

690
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,338
And the rest of us
don't want them.

691
00:48:45,089 --> 00:48:46,674
Take them back.

692
00:48:46,716 --> 00:48:48,468
They can't be
of any use to you.

693
00:48:49,844 --> 00:48:52,764
I hope I can.

694
00:48:52,805 --> 00:48:53,848
How does it feel

695
00:48:53,890 --> 00:48:56,267
to know what you're
drifting toward, Dave?

696
00:49:00,355 --> 00:49:01,648
Well, a little
like it felt

697
00:49:01,731 --> 00:49:06,152
when that shower
of meteors passed.

698
00:49:06,194 --> 00:49:08,529
We were holding
onto each other.

699
00:49:13,368 --> 00:49:16,913
Are you sure this is
what you really want?

700
00:49:16,955 --> 00:49:18,706
No.

701
00:49:23,294 --> 00:49:24,837
When you
take them back,

702
00:49:24,921 --> 00:49:27,632
ask for volunteers,

703
00:49:27,715 --> 00:49:29,050
or I'm sure we'll
start off again

704
00:49:29,092 --> 00:49:30,259
with a whole
shipload full

705
00:49:30,343 --> 00:49:33,763
of illogical
human beings.

706
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:36,724
And eventually
others will join us,

707
00:49:36,766 --> 00:49:38,309
others who will
come willingly.

708
00:49:52,115 --> 00:49:54,534
I believe I can
trust in that.

709
00:49:57,161 --> 00:49:59,414
I'll reverse
our course.

710
00:50:15,930 --> 00:50:18,808
We now return control of
your television set to you.

711
00:50:19,267 --> 00:50:21,561
Until next week, at this same time,

712
00:50:21,769 --> 00:50:24,564
when the control voice will take you to...
