‘Killers from Space’ is a 1954 American science fiction film directed by W. Lee Wilder. The story follows Dr. Douglas Martin, a nuclear scientist who survives a plane crash near an atomic test site but mysteriously returns with no memory of what happened. As he begins acting strangely, authorities suspect foul play. Under hypnosis, Martin recalls being abducted by aliens from the planet Astron Delta, who plan to use Earth's atomic energy to create giant mutant creatures and take over the planet. The film blends Cold War-era paranoia with classic sci-fi tropes, making it a cult favorite among 1950s B-movies.

00:00:00Soledad Platz, Nevada. The time, 6.15 a.m.
00:00:12Climax of arduous planning. Operation A-bomb test underway.
00:00:24Detonation minus two minutes.
00:00:29Military personnel, from buck private to top-ranking brass.
00:00:33Men from research and news services move into position.
00:00:38The bomb-carrying plane makes its initial run.
00:00:45Radar with eyes that never sleep. Special equipment go into operation.
00:00:51All orders are carried out with split-second precision.
00:00:58Warning is given to all commercial aircraft to stay out of the test area.
00:01:03Detonation minus 70 seconds.
00:01:08Beams take to the air, carrying sensitive instruments and nuclear scientists,
00:01:13ready to record the radioactivity from the closest possible vantage point.
00:01:18Detonation minus 40 seconds.
00:01:22The bomb-carrying plane nears the target.
00:01:25Attention mounts, as all members of the flight crew anticipate the task,
00:01:29to pinpoint the bomb on a tiny circle of earth below.
00:01:34Now the plane wings its way toward ground zero.
00:01:38Warning signal is sounded. All observers prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb.
00:01:44Detonation minus 20 seconds.
00:01:50Command of the plane is given to the bombardier.
00:01:54Ground zero dead ahead.
00:01:57The key man now goes into action.
00:02:00Bomb bay doors open.
00:02:05Detonation minus 10 seconds.
00:02:079, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
00:02:23And this is the beginning.
00:02:53You can make the position report now.
00:03:03Have the figures ready.
00:03:09Control from Tar Baby 2. Over.
00:03:14Go ahead, Tar Baby 2.
00:03:15We're circling ground zero at radius of 7.5 miles.
00:03:20Altitude 1, 5, 0, 0, 0 feet.
00:03:24Airspeed 4, 5, 0. Stand by.
00:03:29Roger and over.
00:03:31She's all yours.
00:03:34This is Dr. Martin. Here are the readings.
00:03:380.378 negative. Second indicator.
00:03:421.08 negative. Radiation 0.4. Over.
00:03:48Proceed according to plan.
00:03:50We'll go on out.
00:03:59Take her in closer.
00:04:01Okay, Dr. Martin.
00:04:15We'll have to keep at least two miles from the center of the column.
00:04:19Radiation was too strong.
00:04:23What's that thing shining below?
00:04:29Looks like a fireball.
00:04:31Better check.
00:04:39Dr. Martin.
00:04:41Dr. Martin, we're in trouble.
00:04:44Pull out. Pull out!
00:04:47I can't.
00:04:56The controls are frozen.
00:05:11Tar Baby 2 from base. Come in, Tar Baby 2.
00:05:19Come in, Tar Baby 2.
00:05:25We've lost contact, sir.
00:05:27Baker 2, sir.
00:05:29Yes, sir.
00:05:31All patrol craft in test area. This is a mayday.
00:05:34Repeat, this is a mayday.
00:05:37Segment Baker 1-7. Search for Tar Baby 2.
00:05:50Control from Tar Baby 7.
00:05:52Wreckage sighted southwest corner Soledad Flats.
00:05:56Ship appears completely demolished.
00:05:58No sign of survivors. Over.
00:06:01Roger, Tar Baby 7.
00:06:04Circle wreckage at 1-0-0-0 feet until arrival of helicopter rescue unit.
00:06:35Dr. Kruger, Colonel Banks speaking.
00:06:38Would you mind coming into my office right away, please?
00:06:46As I was saying,
00:06:49our search planes found the wreckage of your husband's plane, Mrs. Martin.
00:06:53A rescue crew was sent out, but...
00:06:55But they must have breached the wreckage hours ago.
00:06:58Why can't they find him?
00:07:00I honestly don't know, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:02Yes, come in.
00:07:06Ellen.
00:07:07Kurt.
00:07:10Colonel Banks.
00:07:12Isn't there any hope?
00:07:15I'm afraid not, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:17They found the pilot dead in the wreckage.
00:07:20And according to all reports, no one could have bailed out.
00:07:24I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:31Dr. Martin!
00:07:34Dr. Martin, are you all right?
00:07:36I... I am, yes.
00:07:39It's Dr. Martin!
00:07:42Dr. Martin!
00:07:45Dr. Martin!
00:07:48Dr. Martin!
00:07:51Dr. Martin!
00:07:54Are you all right?
00:07:57I...
00:07:58I am, yes.
00:07:59It's Dr. Martin!
00:08:00Call the base hospital!
00:08:02Come on, doctor.
00:08:03Come on.
00:08:06All right, look up to your right.
00:08:10And now look over to your left.
00:08:16All right, you can get up now.
00:08:29Well, everything seems all right.
00:08:32Except, can't you recall anything that happened from the time your plane crashed until...
00:08:38I remember the controls froze, the next thing I saw was the main gate of the base.
00:08:42Your plane was completely demolished, the pilot burned to death, and you show off the picture of health.
00:08:46Are you sure you weren't driven here?
00:08:48Positive.
00:08:50You don't remember where you got this?
00:08:53You know, your medical chart shows no indication of any scars on your body.
00:08:57I must have got it in a crash.
00:09:00No, this was surgery.
00:09:03A very skillful incision.
00:09:06I've never had an operation.
00:09:09That's what I don't understand.
00:09:19Mr. Briggs.
00:09:24Colonel Banks.
00:09:25How are you, Mr. Briggs?
00:09:26Fine, how are you?
00:09:27Fine, I see the FBI doesn't waste much time.
00:09:29Well, not if we can help it, Colonel.
00:09:31Oh, you know our base surgeon, Major Clift?
00:09:34Sure, how have you been, Major?
00:09:35How do you do?
00:09:37Well, I guess you gentlemen have business to discuss.
00:09:39Oh, no, no, this won't take a minute.
00:09:41Sit down.
00:09:42Sit down, please, please, gentlemen.
00:09:45Cigarette.
00:09:46Oh, thank you.
00:09:48I understand you've already talked with Dr. Martin.
00:09:50I just left him.
00:09:52You know...
00:09:53Colonel, according to my files,
00:09:55Dr. Martin is just about the key man on this nuclear project.
00:09:59Yes, along with Dr. Kruger, he is.
00:10:02Well, I know they're both good friends,
00:10:04and, well, both have knowledge and access to top-secret information.
00:10:08Well, that's very true, but there's no reason to suspect that they...
00:10:11Oh, we can suspect anything, Colonel.
00:10:13Until Dr. Martin accounts for every minute from the time of the crash.
00:10:18The shock must have caused a mental block.
00:10:20His mind doesn't want to remember the details,
00:10:23the origin of the scar on his chest,
00:10:26how he got back to the base under his own power.
00:10:30Did you ever stop to think that perhaps this Dr. Martin
00:10:34isn't really the Dr. Martin?
00:10:38What are you getting at?
00:10:39What I mean is that this man could be an imposter.
00:10:50I don't know.
00:11:07Rick speaking.
00:11:09Oh, oh, they did come through, though.
00:11:12They do check.
00:11:14That's what I've been waiting for. Thanks.
00:11:20Thanks.
00:11:27Get me Colonel Banks at the base, please.
00:11:29No, no, I'll wait.
00:11:31Oh, yes, Mr. Briggs.
00:11:33Any news on the line you were getting on Dr. Martin?
00:11:36Just heard from Washington.
00:11:38Well, I was wrong. This is our man, all right.
00:11:40His prints and description check right down the line.
00:11:43Now, here's what I suggest you do.
00:11:50He's in excellent physical condition.
00:11:51Yet you're keeping him in the base hospital.
00:11:53Why?
00:11:54Mrs. Martin, you must realize that your husband
00:11:56is engaged in a highly secret work.
00:11:59If this experience had, well, affected his mind...
00:12:03Are you trying to tell me that Doc is...
00:12:05No, no, no. It's nothing serious, Mrs. Martin.
00:12:09His reflexes are excellent.
00:12:12Except for that one lapse of memory,
00:12:14his mind is perfectly clear.
00:12:16Isn't that natural under the circumstances?
00:12:18Yes.
00:12:20Except for the question of the scar on his chest.
00:12:22I know he didn't have it before the crash.
00:12:24I'm sure he didn't, Mrs. Martin.
00:12:27But you see, it would be impossible for a wound of this size
00:12:29to have healed so quickly and without medical attention.
00:12:32You can't keep him here indefinitely.
00:12:35We don't intend to.
00:12:37We asked you to come down here
00:12:39because we've decided to let you take him home.
00:12:41Provided you can keep him quiet and he gets enough rest.
00:12:43I understand.
00:12:44Now, we'll just have to take that vacation he's been wanting to take.
00:12:47Vacation?
00:12:48To watch him, you'd think you'd never heard of one.
00:12:50Yes, he must have asked me a hundred times
00:12:52when the next test was scheduled.
00:12:54He's anxious to take his own readings again.
00:12:57Well, he did have a key part in the planning of these projects.
00:13:00Well, is there anything he should or shouldn't be allowed to do?
00:13:04No.
00:13:06Except...
00:13:08he does need diversion.
00:13:11Anything that won't upset or excite him.
00:13:13I see.
00:13:14You're the doctor now.
00:13:16Just see that he gets plenty of rest.
00:13:18Goodbye, Colonel.
00:13:19Goodbye.
00:13:21See you later, Major.
00:13:45Doug?
00:13:47What's the matter?
00:13:49I can't sleep.
00:13:52What time is it?
00:13:54About to three.
00:13:57I'll go get myself a glass of milk.
00:14:33Get me squadron operation.
00:14:37Duty desk, please.
00:14:42Helen, what did you get up for?
00:14:45This is Dr. Martin calling.
00:14:47Who is this speaking?
00:14:49Sergeant Bandero.
00:14:50Anything I can do for you, doctor?
00:14:53I wondered if there were any last-minute orders
00:14:55on another atomic test.
00:14:58What do you mean you can't tell me?
00:15:00Sorry, sir.
00:15:01Regulations.
00:15:02I can't give out information to anyone.
00:15:04No, sir.
00:15:05It won't do you any good to come down.
00:15:07All right.
00:15:08We'll see about that.
00:15:15I've got to get out to the base right away.
00:15:18Helen, don't you agree with me?
00:15:20I've spent months preparing for this series of tests,
00:15:22and no sergeant is going to push me around now.
00:15:26Well, aren't you going to say anything?
00:15:28No.
00:15:29Look, I know they're ready for another test,
00:15:31and I should be there.
00:15:32Can't you understand that they don't want you around
00:15:34for your own good?
00:15:35I don't need their sympathy.
00:15:36There's nothing wrong with me.
00:15:37Then why are you acting this way?
00:15:39You're all on edge.
00:15:40If you don't say anything, I'm going to kill you.
00:15:43If you don't slow down, I don't know what's going to happen.
00:15:47You really believe that, don't you?
00:15:51Look, Doug, if you won't take it easy for your own sake,
00:15:55please, do it for mine.
00:16:14Hey.
00:16:19Hey.
00:16:20Time to get up.
00:16:22Go away.
00:16:24All right, stay in bed all day.
00:16:26It's almost 11 o'clock.
00:16:27What did you say?
00:16:28I said it was almost 11 o'clock.
00:16:30It is?
00:16:31Mm-hmm.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:34You go put the coffee over while I get dressed.
00:16:43All right.
00:16:44All right.
00:17:12I don't care what you say.
00:17:13You had no right to go ahead without me.
00:17:15And you, Curt, you didn't tell me either.
00:17:17Why?
00:17:18Orders, Doug.
00:17:19Orders?
00:17:20Nonsense.
00:17:21The least it could have been done would have been to let me know.
00:17:22I'm fine.
00:17:23I could have done my work.
00:17:24I hate to say this, Dr. Martin, but in your present state,
00:17:27you're not considered a very good security risk.
00:17:29Me?
00:17:30A security risk?
00:17:31My present state?
00:17:32What's the matter with me?
00:17:33How long am I to be considered?
00:17:34Only temporarily.
00:17:35The results of the test will be available for your study
00:17:37when you return to work.
00:17:39I am ready, Colonel.
00:17:41To us, you're still a very sick man.
00:17:42My advice to you is to go home and relax, as you were ordered.
00:17:45Relax, relax.
00:17:47And if I don't?
00:17:49Then you'll be confined to the base hospital if you change your mind.
00:17:52Now, what's it going to be?
00:17:59Well, Doctor?
00:18:03Oh, Dr. Martin.
00:18:05I didn't expect you back so soon.
00:18:08Haven't you heard?
00:18:09I'm a metal case.
00:18:10Can't even be trusted with my own work.
00:18:12I'm going to go berserk at any minute.
00:18:14Colonel Banks will fill you in on the details.
00:18:17Don't tell me.
00:18:18Let me see.
00:18:19You're...
00:18:20I know, I know.
00:18:21You're Miss Vincent, the secretary I share with...
00:18:24Oh, Doctor, you can't be serious.
00:18:26There was no one in your office, so I thought you wouldn't mind.
00:18:28Oh, that's all right.
00:18:29It's all right.
00:18:30As far as I'm concerned, you can take the rest of the day off.
00:18:33Are you sure?
00:18:34No, I don't really belong here.
00:18:35I just came in to pick up a few personal things from my desk.
00:18:38Goodbye, Doctor.
00:18:39Goodbye.
00:19:08Goodbye.
00:19:09Goodbye.
00:20:08Goodbye.
00:20:38Goodbye.
00:20:39Goodbye.
00:21:09Goodbye.
00:21:10Goodbye.
00:21:39Goodbye.
00:21:40Goodbye.
00:22:08Main gate.
00:22:19Main gate, please.
00:22:37Just a minute, doctor.
00:22:40Main gate, Sergeant Powers.
00:22:42Dr. Kruger?
00:22:43Dr. Kruger?
00:22:44Dr. Kruger?
00:22:45No, he checked out.
00:22:47Yeah, about 20 minutes ago.
00:22:49OK.
00:22:51Sorry to keep you waiting, doctor.
00:22:52That's all right.
00:22:54OK, doctor.
00:22:55Will you sign out, please?
00:22:59We'll post a couple of men outside of Dr. Kruger's office.
00:23:05Get me Colonel Banks at the Officer's Club.
00:23:08Thank you, doctor.
00:23:09Good night.
00:23:27Evening, Dr. Kruger.
00:23:29Yes?
00:23:30My name's Briggs.
00:23:31I'm from the FBI.
00:23:32Briggs.
00:23:33Briggs.
00:23:34Of course, I've heard of you.
00:23:36I wonder if you'd mind returning to your office with me.
00:23:39What seems to be the trouble?
00:23:40Oh, just a few things we'd like to straighten out.
00:23:43Concerns me?
00:23:44Well, I'm afraid so, doctor.
00:23:47Take your own car, if you like.
00:23:48I'll meet you there.
00:23:49All right, I will.
00:23:58The papers seem to be intact.
00:24:00Is this all classified information, doctor?
00:24:03Of course.
00:24:04You know, according to security regulations,
00:24:06that vault should have been locked before you left.
00:24:08But I'm certain I did lock it.
00:24:10All right, then tell me this.
00:24:12Who besides yourself has access to the combination?
00:24:15Well, the colonel here and Dr. Martin.
00:24:18Dr. Martin.
00:24:19Dr. Martin.
00:24:22He was in the building this afternoon.
00:24:23That's right.
00:24:24We saw him in my office.
00:24:25He left around 4 o'clock on orders.
00:24:27He dismissed the secretary a few minutes later,
00:24:29but he didn't sign out of there until 20 minutes after you left.
00:24:33After I did?
00:24:34Well, there must be some mistake.
00:24:35I personally checked his office just as I was leaving,
00:24:37and he wasn't there.
00:24:39You always do that, doctor?
00:24:40No, but Dr. Martin has been acting, well, quite strangely.
00:24:46Yes, he certainly has.
00:24:47His wife telephoned to say that he hadn't come home as usual.
00:24:50I was very much concerned about him.
00:24:53So am I.
00:24:54He still hasn't shown up yet.
00:25:08What kind of pipe tobacco do you use, Dr. Kruger?
00:25:11Me?
00:25:13Why, I don't smoke at all.
00:25:15And you, colonel?
00:25:16Cigarettes.
00:25:17What are you driving at?
00:25:22That's funny.
00:25:26How long has Dr. Martin been using this brand of tobacco?
00:25:30I really don't know.
00:25:31Why?
00:25:32Now, Mrs. Martin, you say you have no idea where he could be at this hour.
00:25:36I know he's never been this late before without telephoning.
00:25:40Well, I hate to ask this,
00:25:42but have you ever had any suspicion that there might be another woman's?
00:25:48Certainly not.
00:25:51I'm sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:25:53Just why are you asking me these questions?
00:25:55Well, let's put it this way.
00:25:57Has he made any new friends lately?
00:25:59You know, people not in the usual group.
00:26:02No, the only people we've seen in months have been connected with the Institute.
00:26:08Excuse me.
00:26:10Hello.
00:26:12Yes, just a moment.
00:26:13It's for you, Mr. Briggs.
00:26:14Oh, thank you.
00:26:27All units in sector 7, code 4.

00:27:17What are you doing with this?
00:27:20Any special reason for placing it under this rock?
00:27:42I don't know.
00:28:09Give me 10 gallons of air.
00:28:10Okay.

00:30:23Come in.
00:30:24Subject, Dr. Douglas Martin.
00:30:26Last seen in Route 61.
00:30:28Heading toward North Junction.
00:30:30Stopped at gas station corner of Ridgewood and Mills Road.
00:30:33Acknowledge.
00:30:35Roger.
00:30:36Briggs, out.
00:30:38Out.
00:31:08Out.
00:31:31They're here. They're gonna...
00:31:33They're here.
00:31:35They're here. They're here.
00:31:37Going to destroy us.
00:31:39He's coming out of it.
00:31:43It's all right, Dr. Martin.
00:31:44You're with friends.
00:31:45You'll be all right.
00:31:46Now, let me go!
00:31:47Let me go!
00:31:48Steady now. Steady, Doug.
00:31:50He'll kill everyone we've got to stop!
00:31:53Easy, Doug. Easy.
00:32:07What did you give him?
00:32:09Sodium amytal.
00:32:11Truth serum.
00:32:12It'll deprive his mind of any imagination.
00:32:15I guess he'll make sense now.
00:32:17I'll get the recorder ready.
00:32:23Can you hear me, Dr. Martin?
00:32:25Yes.
00:32:29Now, listen to me.
00:32:32I want you to count to three.
00:32:35I want you to count backwards from 100.
00:32:38Do you understand?
00:32:40Backwards from 100.
00:32:42100.
00:32:4599.

00:32:5695.
00:32:5994.
00:33:00Well, you can ask him questions now.
00:33:04Dr. Martin.
00:33:06What were you doing with the information you took from Dr. Kruger's vault?
00:33:10I was delivering it.
00:33:12Delivering it?
00:33:14But where?
00:33:16To the rocks in Soledad Flats?
00:33:19Yes.
00:33:21To Soledad Flats.
00:33:23Where we crashed.
00:33:26I was delivering it.
00:33:28Just as I was ordered.
00:33:30Who ordered you to do this, Dr. Martin?
00:33:32I'll tell you the whole story.
00:33:36I remember we were circling the atomic cloud.
00:33:42There was an object
00:33:44glowing beneath us at Soledad Flats.
00:33:49We were going down to investigate.
00:33:53Controls jammed.
00:33:56Couldn't pull out.
00:34:03When I regained consciousness,
00:34:06I was on a table.
00:34:10Next thing I knew,
00:34:12they were coming at me.
00:34:15Strange people.
00:34:17Their eyes,
00:34:20those horrible eyes.
00:34:23They didn't speak.
00:34:26I could see something
00:34:29strange and eerie,
00:34:30pulsating in front of me.
00:34:33Then one of them lowered it toward my chest.
00:34:38With my own heart.
00:34:53What happened?
00:34:56What is this place?
00:34:57Who are you?
00:34:59What are you doing to me?
00:35:01Can't you speak?
00:35:03Who are you?
00:35:28Step forward.
00:35:37Dr. Martin,
00:35:39I see you are quite well.
00:35:41You are not ill.
00:35:43I'm not ill.
00:35:45I'm not ill.
00:35:47I'm not ill.
00:35:49I'm not ill.
00:35:51I'm not ill.
00:35:53I'm not ill.
00:35:55I'm not ill.
00:35:57You have recovered from your unfortunate accident.
00:36:00Who are you?
00:36:02A scientist, like yourself.
00:36:05Where do you come from?
00:36:07From a planet,
00:36:09yet unknown to you.
00:36:11You know my name, you speak English.
00:36:13We speak every language.
00:36:15Can't expect me to believe that.
00:36:17I'm getting out of here.
00:36:19Stay where you are.
00:36:28Who are you?
00:36:30I have already told you that.
00:36:33How did you get here?
00:36:43Here.
00:36:45In our machine.
00:36:47In our machine.
00:36:49In our machine.
00:36:51In our machine.
00:36:53In our machine.
00:36:55In our machine.
00:36:57We are magnetically propelled
00:36:59across the electron bridge we have created.
00:37:02Electron bridge?
00:37:11You mean you come and go just like that?
00:37:13Without anyone ever seeing you?
00:37:15Our ships have been sighted
00:37:17on numerous occasions by your people.
00:37:19Then why haven't we been able to track one down?
00:37:22We have a warning system
00:37:24similar to your primitive radar.
00:37:25Our machines are set to change course
00:37:27at the mere approach of a pursuing object.
00:37:31Let's say I do believe you.
00:37:33Where are we right now?
00:37:35In a cavern
00:37:37within the upper crust of the Earth.
00:37:40How long have we been here?
00:37:42Since the beginning of your experiments
00:37:44in nuclear fission.
00:37:46What have you got to do with that?
00:37:48We are accumulating the energy
00:37:50released with each of your atomic explosions.
00:37:52One moment.
00:38:22What was that?
00:38:24A report
00:38:26from the monitor we sent to the surface
00:38:28to obtain the results
00:38:30of your last nuclear test.
00:38:32Results?
00:38:34That'll take days to analyze and compute.
00:38:38I think you will find these figures are correct.
00:38:48I can't believe it.
00:38:49Where is that man?
00:38:51You don't recognize the area?
00:38:54No.
00:38:57He is in the vicinity where you crashed.
00:39:06That rock was glowing.
00:39:09A normal reaction
00:39:11in view of the amount of radiation absorbed.
00:39:14You have a remarkable memory, Doctor.
00:39:16Considering the fact
00:39:18that you did not survive the crash.
00:39:20What do you mean?
00:39:22The mechanism of your heart
00:39:24had ceased to function.
00:39:26It was necessary for us to revive it.
00:39:29You were dead.
00:39:32I was dead?
00:39:36So that's what they were doing.
00:39:39You didn't even try to help the pilot.
00:39:41Why did you save me?
00:39:43Because you didn't know
00:39:44why you saved me.
00:39:46Because we had an important need
00:39:48of your services.
00:39:50Such as?
00:39:59Look this way, Doctor.
00:40:01You will understand.
00:40:10Get up.
00:40:12You are the first of your world
00:40:14to look at our solar system.
00:40:16The Astron.
00:40:18This is our planet,
00:40:20Astron Delta.
00:40:25It occupies the fourth position
00:40:27in relation to this,
00:40:29our sun.
00:40:32Yes, go on.
00:40:36During the 23rd time rotation,
00:40:38our sun began to die.
00:40:41So during the succeeding generations,
00:40:44as our planet began to cool,
00:40:46vegetation began to disappear.
00:40:50Our eyes developed to this state
00:40:52to combat the ever-growing darkness.
00:40:56We were forced to migrate.
00:40:59You left your planet?
00:41:01Where?
00:41:03We invaded these neighboring planets.
00:41:08They were nearer to our sun.
00:41:15You just moved in and took over?
00:41:17How many of you?
00:41:19All of us.
00:41:21Well over one billion.
00:41:24There were feeble attempts to stop us,
00:41:27but we were prepared
00:41:29for such contingencies.
00:41:31And now that our sun has died,
00:41:33we are the only ones left.
00:41:35We are the only ones left.
00:41:37We are the only ones left.
00:41:39We are the only ones left.
00:41:41We are the only ones left.
00:41:43Now that our sun is about to completely expire,
00:41:46we must move again in order to survive.
00:41:51Yours is the only planet in this solar system
00:41:54capable of supporting our civilization.
00:41:59This is fantastic.
00:42:01Over a billion of you trying to come here to Earth.
00:42:04We have no alternative.
00:42:07We have been putting our plan to work for some time.
00:42:12At the proper moment, the invasion will be launched
00:42:15from our platforms which are being readied in space.
00:42:21Nothing can stop us.
00:42:38Insane.
00:42:40This is ridiculous.
00:42:42You cannot find your way in or out of this cavern.
00:42:45Do not try to leave.
00:44:12We are the only ones left.
00:44:42We are the only ones left.

00:49:03imagination we will unleash them they will spread to every continent and
00:49:11devour every living thing on the surface of the earth what good will that
00:49:16do you how could you expect to survive better than we we have provided for that
00:49:30no doctor look over there
00:49:41use their bodies to fertilize the soil vegetation will rise up in abundance a
00:49:50new era of civilization will begin gamma rays you see doctor we have arranged for
00:50:02everything wait a minute all this equipment our nuclear storage units to
00:50:18date we have accumulated several billion electron volts as a result of your atomic
00:50:23explosions several billion I have a chain reaction at this point could release
00:50:29enough unstable isotopes to to create a new and powerful element might be
00:50:34impossible to control true an element that will never be known by your
00:50:39scientists I can assure you the strength of this new element will this is a
00:50:44powder keg could go up in any minute I assure you doctor we have everything
00:50:49under our complete control what force could possibly be strong enough to
00:50:56harness that you control your whole operation by electricity of course no
00:51:04generators no generators that means you're getting your power from somewhere
00:51:09on the surface it must be passing through here you have heard enough dr.
00:51:12Martin step inside all right what do you want from me you will have access to
00:51:20advanced information relative to the time and strength of the forthcoming
00:51:25atomic tests what about it you will provide us with that information as soon
00:51:32as it is available I see
00:51:41you're afraid of an overload you can't tap enough electricity wherever you get
00:51:46it from the control strong enough charge you are a clever man doctor perhaps too
00:51:54clever what makes you think I'll give you any information it is the only way
00:51:59you can save your own life when the time comes you will be transported to one of
00:52:04our platforms in space and resettled here when our operation is completed you
00:52:10were asking me to sabotage the entire world three billion people they are
00:52:14doomed in any case
00:52:18I guess there's no alternative I'll have to do as you say you are lying doctor
00:52:28your only wish is to betray us I know your thoughts have been recorded lie
00:52:39detective call it what you like you forced me to resort to other methods I
00:52:44will contact our space station you are an unwilling subject dr. Martin what
00:52:54who are you
00:52:57I am the top you will listen and obey
00:53:05no I you will listen to my orders and obey

00:53:30yes you will obtain the daughter and bring it to the stone near the place
00:53:38where your plane was right to the stone what have you seen or heard here
00:53:51what have you seen or heard here nothing
00:53:58repeat my orders I will obtain the data and bring it to the stone
00:54:08you know that's what I did I took the information to where they told me I
00:54:18didn't realize I was being mesmerized
00:54:22why doesn't somebody say something don't you believe me
00:54:34Kurt you understand these giant animals breeding by the millions they'll devour
00:54:41everything unless we stop them of course Doug we will
00:54:44Colonel Colonel you've got to arrange to set off another bomb tonight the
00:54:49strongest charge we have they're beneath the ground with all their equipment we
00:54:52can blow them to pieces now wait a minute a strong charge will overload
00:54:55their units
00:54:59don't believe me Colonel
00:55:03I do
00:55:06Kurt of course we do easy Doug easy you think I'm crazy all of you well I'm not
00:55:14the understand everything I said is true I saw it with my own eyes
00:55:19oh steady steady steady take it easy now take it easy we'll talk this whole
00:55:24thing over
00:55:29what are you doing now just rest quietly that's it
00:55:49mrs. Martin should be along any minute now she went for their car what like
00:55:53tell her well he's in a state of shock tell her he's resting quietly excuse me
00:56:00I think I better wait for at the information desk well dr. Martin seems
00:56:06to be indestructible except for those hallucinations those weren't
00:56:09hallucinations Colonel under the influence of sodium amytol a patient
00:56:13loses all control of his imagination well then he shouldn't be able to
00:56:18fabricate those stories that's right major you're not trying to tell us that
00:56:22everything he said was true look gentlemen I can only give you the
00:56:28medical facts as for the rest you'll have to decide for yourself excuse me
00:56:33please
00:56:49you
00:56:51you
00:56:53you

00:57:46afraid you're wasting your time a cigarette doctor no thank you see we've
00:57:50already covered the entire area we couldn't find a thing then what about

00:59:08now you get back into bed and I'll call dr. Kruger I've got to figure something
00:59:26out before he gets here I need a pencil some paper and a slide rule I'll see
00:59:33that you get it oh can I have dr. Kruger please
00:59:44dr. Kruger speaking oh yes major how is he all right I'll be over in a few
00:59:52minutes
00:59:54Doug
00:59:56Doug
00:59:58Doug
01:00:00Doug
01:00:02Doug
01:00:14Doug
01:00:24Doug
01:00:26Doug
01:00:28Doug
01:00:30Doug
01:00:32Doug
01:00:34Doug
01:00:36Kurt Helen I got here as soon as I could is there anything wrong he's much better
01:00:42imagine he's even started working he asked for paper and a slide rule that's
01:00:46interesting wonder what he's up to formulas equations anyway whatever he
01:00:53says pretend to agree with him major Cliff's orders of course yeah Kurt's here
01:01:03hello Doug just a second I'm almost finished I'll take your hat thank you
01:01:09okay let's face it I know that you all think there's something wrong with me no
01:01:17of course not no I wouldn't blame you after the story I told last night well
01:01:21frankly you did have us a little worried asking that a bomb be dropped because of
01:01:24what you said you don't believe me Kurt I tell you I've been there I've seen what
01:01:30they're doing breeding animals into carnivorous monsters but I don't need a
01:01:34bomb to stop them I figured it out it's all here now look here's the nuclear
01:01:39strength of our last test and this is the amount of electricity needed to control
01:01:44it we see that I had to estimate the conversion rates of their transformers
01:01:49these figures are correct such transformers must operate on a constant
01:01:53supply of electricity where could they get that much electric power only one
01:01:57way they must tap it from the main lines of the powerhouse could do it by
01:02:01parallel induction nobody'd ever know the difference all we have to do is to cut it
01:02:06off cut off the power we can't do that it would cause untold damage for miles
01:02:11around such a power stoppage must be planned in advance eight to ten seconds
01:02:16that's all I need that gap in supply will short out their resistors and the
01:02:20whole thing will go up but you won't go along with that no no
01:02:24I'll get back in bed
01:02:26Oh look you're carrying it out of my way
01:02:28Doug
01:02:40Please call the main gate and try to stop Dr. Martin
01:02:47Dr. Picard! Hurry!
01:02:52Dr. Martin!
01:02:54Stop!
01:02:56Stop!
01:02:59He did what?
01:03:01How long ago?
01:03:03Right we'll leave immediately
01:03:06What's wrong Colonel?
01:03:07Dr. Martin he's on his way to the powerhouse wants to cut off the power supply
01:03:10Let's go
01:03:16I couldn't stop him doctor he went that way
01:03:46Hey! Don't block him!
01:04:46Okay you run up the stairs I'll look here
01:05:16There's his car! Come on hurry!
01:05:46He isn't back there! Let's go!
01:06:03Where's the driver of this car?
01:06:05He went into the building
01:06:17Come on
01:06:26Mr. Picard!
01:06:27Where'd you go?
01:06:44We better take the stairs
01:06:57What do you want?
01:07:16Where are the main switches?
01:07:17What's the matter with you? You sleepwalking or something mister?
01:07:20Where are the switches that control the solar lab flaps area?
01:07:22I said where are they?
01:07:25This way
01:07:34Control room
01:07:36Yeah
01:07:46Come on show me those switches come on!
01:07:48Alright
01:07:51Cut that power
01:07:53Now look mister be reasonable
01:07:55I said cut it
01:08:02Now the next one
01:08:08Next
01:08:09Go on
01:08:10That'll turn the power off for a hundred miles
01:08:12Do as I say
01:08:16Here it is
01:08:23Stay where you are
01:08:26Put down that gun Dr. Martin
01:08:28I'm warning you Colonel
01:08:30Come any closer and I'll kill you
01:08:32Now the next one
01:08:37What's this one?
01:08:38That's the master switch
01:08:40Cut it
01:08:41Doug please don't
01:08:43I said cut it!
01:08:45Get back or I'll kill him
01:08:46Go on get back
01:08:48Go on get back
01:08:49Do as he says
01:08:54Give me ten seconds after I cut the power
01:08:57If I'm insane nothing will happen and you can do what you want with me
