00:00:15The climax of arduous planning. Operation A-bomb test underway.
00:00:22Detonation minus two minutes.
00:00:24Military personnel, from buck private to top-ranking brass.
00:00:31Men from research and news services move into position.
00:00:36The bomb-carrying plane makes its initial run.
00:00:43Radar with eyes that never sleep. Special equipment go into operation.
00:00:48All orders are carried out with split-second precision.
00:00:54Warning is given to all commercial aircraft to stay out of the test area.
00:01:00Detonation minus seventy seconds.
00:01:06The planes take to the air. Carrying sensitive instruments and nuclear scientists.
00:01:11Ready to record the radioactivity from the closest possible vantage point.
00:01:15Detonation minus forty seconds.
00:01:19The bomb-carrying plane nears the target.
00:01:23Tension mounts as all members of the flight crew anticipate the task.
00:01:27To pinpoint the bomb on a tiny circle of earth below.
00:01:30Now the plane wings its way toward ground zero.
00:01:35Warning signal is sounded.
00:01:38All observers prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb.
00:01:40Detonation minus twenty seconds.
00:01:44Command of the plane is given to the bombardier.
00:01:50Ground zero dead ahead.
00:01:53The key man now goes into action.

00:03:06Control from Tar Baby 2.
00:03:09Over.
00:03:09Go ahead, Tar Baby 2.
00:03:13We're circling ground zero at a radius of 7.5 miles.
00:03:17Altitude 1, 5, 0, 0, 0 feet.
00:03:21Airspeed 4, 5, 0.
00:03:24Stand by.
00:03:26Roger and over.
00:03:28She's all yours.
00:03:31This is Dr. Martin.
00:03:33Here are the readings.
00:03:350.378 negative, second indicator.
00:03:391.08 negative, radiation 0.4.
00:03:44Over.
00:03:45Roger.
00:03:46Proceed according to plan.
00:03:48We'll go and out.
00:03:48Take her in closer.
00:03:56OK, Dr. Martin.
00:03:58We'll have to keep at least two miles from the center of the column.
00:04:02The radiation was too strong.
00:04:19What's that thing shining below?
00:04:21Look at that thing shining below.
00:04:27Looks like a fireball.
00:04:29We better check.
00:04:36Dr. Martin.
00:04:38Dr. Martin, we're in trouble.
00:04:41Pull out.
00:04:43Pull out!
00:04:45I can't!
00:04:52The controls are frozen.
00:05:07Tar Baby 2 from base. Come in, Tar Baby 2.
00:05:16Come in, Tar Baby 2.
00:05:22We've lost contact, sir.
00:05:24Baker 2, sir.
00:05:26Yes, sir.
00:05:28All patrol craft in test area. This is a mayday.
00:05:32Repeat, this is a mayday.
00:05:34Proceed to segment Baker 1-7.
00:05:37Search for Tar Baby 2.
00:05:38Tar Baby 2.
00:05:47Control from Tar Baby 7.
00:05:49Wreckage sighted southwest corner Soledad Flats.
00:05:53Ship appears completely demolished.
00:05:56No sign of survivors. Over.
00:05:58Roger, Tar Baby 7.
00:05:59Roger, Tar Baby 7.
00:06:01Circle wreckage at 1-0-0-0 feet until arrival of helicopter rescue unit.
00:06:29Dr. Krueger.
00:06:33Colonel Banks speaking.
00:06:35Would you mind coming into my office right away, please?
00:06:43As I was saying,
00:06:46our search planes found the wreckage of your husband's plane, Mrs. Martin.
00:06:50A rescue crew was sent out, but...
00:06:53But they must have reached the wreckage hours ago.
00:06:55Why can't they find him?
00:06:57I honestly don't know, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:00Yes, come in.
00:07:04Helen.
00:07:05Kurt.
00:07:08Colonel Banks.
00:07:10Isn't there any hope?
00:07:13I'm afraid not, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:15They found the pilot dead in the wreckage.
00:07:18And according to all reports, no one could have bailed out.
00:07:21I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:26I'm sorry.
00:07:28I'm sorry.
00:07:30I'm sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:32I'm sorry.
00:07:34It's all right.
00:07:36You know what?
00:07:38Let's go.
00:07:40Let's go.
00:07:42Let's go.
00:07:44Ah, Mr. Martin.
00:07:46All right, Mr. Martin, you're all right?
00:07:48Yes, sir.
00:07:50He's all right.
00:07:51Dr. Martin! Dr. Martin, are you all right?
00:07:54I... I am, yes.
00:07:57It's Dr. Martin! Call the base hospital!
00:08:00Come on, doctor. Come on.
00:08:04All right, look up to your right.
00:08:08Now look over to your left.
00:08:14All right, get up now.
00:08:21Well, everything seems all right.
00:08:29Except, can't you recall anything that happened from the time your plane crashed until...
00:08:35I remember the controls froze. The next thing I saw was the main gate of the base.
00:08:39Your plane was completely demolished. The pilot burned to death.
00:08:42And you show off the picture of help. Are you sure you weren't driven here?
00:08:46Positive.
00:08:47You don't remember where you got this?
00:08:50Mm-mm.
00:08:51You know, your medical chart shows no indication of any scars on your body.
00:08:55Well, I must have got it in a crash.
00:08:57Oh.
00:08:58No, this was surgery.
00:09:00A very skillful incision.
00:09:03I've never had an operation.
00:09:06Yeah, that's what I don't understand.
00:09:16Mr. Briggs.
00:09:20Colonel Banks.
00:09:22How are you, Mr. Briggs?
00:09:23Fine. How are you?
00:09:24Fine. I see the FBI doesn't waste much time.
00:09:26Well, not if we can help it, Colonel.
00:09:28Oh, you know our base surgeon, Major Clift?
00:09:30Sure. How have you been, Major?
00:09:32How do you, Jim?
00:09:33Well, I guess you gentlemen have business to discuss.
00:09:36Oh, no, no. This won't take a minute. Sit down.
00:09:38Sit down, please, please, gentlemen.
00:09:40Cigarettes.
00:09:41Oh, thank you.
00:09:43I understand you've already talked with Dr. Martin.
00:09:46I just left him.
00:09:47You know, Colonel, according to my files, Dr. Martin is just about the key man on this nuclear project.
00:09:57Yes, along with Dr. Kruger, he is.
00:09:59Well, I know they're both good friends and, well, both have knowledge and access to top secret information.
00:10:06Well, that's very true, but there's no reason to suspect it.
00:10:09Oh, we can, we can suspect anything, Colonel.
00:10:11Until Dr. Martin accounts for every minute from the time of the crash.
00:10:15The shock must have caused a mental block.
00:10:19His mind doesn't want to remember the details.
00:10:22The origin of the scar on his chest.
00:10:25How he got back to the base under his own power.
00:10:28Did you ever stop to think that perhaps this Dr. Martin isn't really the Dr. Martin?
00:10:36What are you getting at?
00:10:38What I mean is that this man could be an imposter.
00:10:45He wants to fake stuff.
00:10:46Oh, Mr. Martin Typio.
00:10:47Let's go.
00:10:48You got it.
00:10:49Thank you, Colonel.
00:10:50I've been looking for another man.
00:10:51You've got it.
00:10:52Yeah, I can't believe you.
00:10:53Oh, no.
00:10:54Kirby.
00:10:55It once told you, Esperanto, what kind of is done.
00:10:56The cat is continued to hate.
00:10:57hasta a minute.
00:10:58Alright, let's do a minute.

00:11:10Thanks.
00:11:10check that's what I've been waiting for thanks get me Colonel banks in the base
00:11:25please no no I'll wait oh yes mr. Briggs any news on the line you were getting on
00:11:31dr. Martin just heard from Washington and I was wrong this is our man all
00:11:37right his friends and description check right down the line now here's what I
00:11:42suggest you do but you see an excellent physical condition yet you're keeping
00:11:49him in the base hospital why mrs. Martin you must realize that your husband is
00:11:54engaged in a highly secret work if this experience it will affect it is mine are
00:12:01you trying to tell me that Doug is gone it's nothing serious mrs. Martin
00:12:06his reflexes are excellent except for that one lapse of memory his mind is
00:12:12perfectly clear isn't that natural under the circumstances yes except for the
00:12:19question of the scar on his chest I know he didn't have it before the crash I'm
00:12:23sure he didn't mrs. Martin but you see it would be impossible for a wound of this
00:12:28size to appeal so quickly and without medical attention you can't keep him
00:12:32here indefinitely we don't intend to we asked you to come down here because we've
00:12:38decided to let you take him home provided you can keep him quiet and he gets in the
00:12:41press I understand now we'll just have to take that vacation he's been wanting for so long
00:12:46hey case to watch him you think you never heard of one yes he must have asked me a
00:12:51hundred times when the next test was scheduled he's anxious to take his own
00:12:54readings again well he did have a key part in the planning of these projects well is there

00:17:14And you, Kurt, you didn't tell me either.
00:17:16Why?
00:17:17Orders, Doug.
00:17:17Orders? Nonsense.
00:17:19The least that could have been done would have been to let me know.
00:17:21I'm fine. I could have done my work.
00:17:23I hate to say this, Dr. Martin, but in your present state,
00:17:25you're not considered a very good security risk.
00:17:28Me? Security risk? My present state?
00:17:30What's the matter with me?
00:17:31How long am I to be considered?
00:17:32Only temporarily.
00:17:34The results of the test will be available for your study when you return to work.
00:17:37I am ready, Colonel.
00:17:39To us, you're still a very sick man.
00:17:41My advice to you is to go home and relax as you were ordered.
00:17:44Relax, relax.
00:17:46And if I don't?
00:17:48Then you'll be confined to the base hospital until you change your mind.
00:17:51Now, what's it going to be?
00:17:58Well, doctor?
00:17:59Oh, Dr. Martin.
00:18:02I didn't expect you back so soon.
00:18:05Haven't you heard?
00:18:06I'm a mental case.
00:18:08Can't even be trusted with my own work.
00:18:10I'm going to go berserk at any minute.
00:18:12Colonel Banks will fill you in on the details.
00:18:15Don't tell me.
00:18:16Let me see.
00:18:17You're...
00:18:17I know, I know.
00:18:19You're Miss Vincent, the secretary I share with, uh...
00:18:22Oh, doctor, you can't be serious.
00:18:24There was no one in your office, so I thought you wouldn't mind...
00:18:26Oh, that's all right.
00:18:27It's all right.
00:18:28As far as I'm concerned, you can take the rest of the day off.
00:18:31Are you sure?
00:18:31Mm-hmm.
00:18:32Oh, I don't really belong here.
00:18:33I just came in to pick up a few personal things from my desk.

00:22:46I don't know.
00:22:47Okay.
00:22:48Sorry to keep you waiting, doctor.
00:22:49That's all right.
00:22:50Okay, doctor.
00:22:51Will you sign out, please?
00:22:56We'll post a couple of men outside of Dr. Krueger's office.
00:23:02Get me Colonel Banks at the Officers Club.
00:23:05Thank you, doctor.
00:23:06Good night.
00:23:16Good evening, Dr. Krueger.
00:23:26Yes?
00:23:27My name's Briggs.
00:23:28I'm from the FBI.
00:23:29Briggs.
00:23:30Briggs.
00:23:31Of course.
00:23:32I've heard of you.
00:23:33I wonder if you'd mind returning to your office with me.
00:23:36What seems to be the trouble?
00:23:37Oh, just a few things we'd like to straighten out.
00:23:40Concerns me?
00:23:41Well, I'm afraid so, doctor.
00:23:43Take your own car if you like.
00:23:45I'll meet you there.
00:23:46All right.
00:23:47I will.
00:23:55The papers seem to be intact.
00:23:57Is this all classified information, doctor?
00:23:59Of course.
00:24:00You know, according to security regulations,
00:24:02that hole should have been locked before you left.
00:24:04But I'm certain I did lock it.
00:24:06All right.
00:24:07Then tell me this.
00:24:08Who besides yourself has access to the combination?
00:24:11Well, the Colonel here and Dr. Mark.
00:24:14Dr. Martin.
00:24:15Dr. Martin.
00:24:16He was in the building this afternoon.
00:24:20That's right.
00:24:21We saw him in my office.
00:24:22He left around 4 o'clock on orders.
00:24:24He dismissed the secretary a few minutes later,
00:24:26but he didn't sign out of here until 20 minutes after you left.
00:24:30After I did?
00:24:31Well, there must be some mistake.
00:24:33I personally checked his office just as I was leaving and he wasn't there.
00:24:36You always do that, doctor?
00:24:37No, but Dr. Martin has been acting, well, quite strange of late.
00:24:43Yes, he certainly has.
00:24:44His wife telephoned to say that he hadn't come home as usual.
00:24:47I was very much concerned about it.
00:24:49So am I.
00:24:51He still hasn't shown up yet.
00:24:53What kind of pipe tobacco do you use, Dr. Kruger?
00:25:08Me?
00:25:09Why?
00:25:10I don't smoke at all.
00:25:12Is it you, Colonel?
00:25:13Cigarettes.
00:25:14What are you driving at?
00:25:16That's funny.
00:25:23How long has Dr. Martin been using this brand of tobacco?
00:25:26I really don't know. Why?
00:25:28Now, Mrs. Martin, you say you have no idea where he could be at this hour.
00:25:32I know he's never been this late before without telephoning.
00:25:37Well, I hate to ask this,
00:25:39but have you ever had any suspicion that there might be another woman?
00:25:44Certainly not.
00:25:47I'm sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:25:49Just why are you asking me these questions?
00:25:51Well, let's put it this way.
00:25:53Has he made any new friends lately?
00:25:55You know, people not in the usual group.
00:25:58No, the only people we've seen a month have been connected with the Institute.
00:26:02Excuse me.

00:34:36With my own heart
00:34:50What happened?
00:34:54What is this place?
00:34:58Who are you?
00:35:00What are you doing to me?
00:35:02Can't you speak?
00:35:04Who are you?
00:35:30I
00:35:40Step forward
00:35:50Dr. Martin, I see you are quite well. You have recovered from your unfortunate accident. Who are you?
00:35:58A scientist like yourself?
00:36:00Where do you come from?
00:36:02Where do you come from?
00:36:04From a planet, yet unknown to you.
00:36:06You know my name. You speak English.
00:36:08We speak every language.
00:36:10You can't expect me to believe that.
00:36:12I'm getting out of here.
00:36:14Today where you are.
00:36:16Who are you?
00:36:18Who are you?
00:36:20I have already told you that.
00:36:22How did you get here?
00:36:24I
00:36:26I
00:36:28I

00:38:42I
00:38:44I
00:38:46I
00:38:48I
00:38:50Can't believe it.
00:38:52Where is that man?
00:38:54You don't recognize the area?
00:38:56No.
00:38:58He is in the vicinity where you crashed.
00:39:06That rock was glowing.
00:39:08A normal reaction in view of the amount of radiation absorbed.
00:39:12You have a remarkable memory, doctor.
00:39:14Considering the fact that you did not survive the crash.
00:39:18What do you mean?
00:39:20The mechanism of your heart had ceased to function.
00:39:22It was necessary for us to revive it.
00:39:24You were dead.
00:39:26I was dead?
00:39:28So that's what they were doing.
00:39:30You didn't even try to help the pilot. Why did you save me?
00:39:32I
00:39:34I
00:39:36I
00:39:38I
00:39:40Not the pilot. Why did you save me?
00:39:42Because we had an important need of your services.
00:39:46Such as?
00:39:56Look this way, doctor.
00:39:58You will understand.
00:40:00You are the first of your world to be looking at our solar system.
00:40:12The Astron.
00:40:14This is our planet Astron Delta.
00:40:20It occupies the fourth position in relation to this, our sun.
00:40:24Yes, go on.
00:40:30During the 23rd time rotation, our sun began to die.
00:40:36So during the succeeding generations, as our planet began to cool, vegetation began to disappear.
00:40:44Our eyes developed to this state to combat the ever-growing darkness.
00:40:52We were forced to migrate.
00:40:54You left your planet?
00:40:56Where?
00:40:58We invaded these neighboring planets.
00:41:02They were nearer to our sun.
00:41:06We were nearer to our sun.
00:41:24You just moved in and took over?
00:41:26How many of us?
00:41:28All of us.
00:41:30Well over one billion.
00:41:32There were feeble attempts to stop us.
00:41:34But we were prepared for such contingencies.
00:41:38And now that our sun is about to completely expire,
00:41:42we must move again in order to survive.
00:41:48Yours is the only planet in this solar system capable of supporting our civilization.
00:41:56This is fantastic.
00:41:57Over a billion of you trying to come here to Earth.
00:42:00We have no alternative.
00:42:04We have been putting our plan to work for some time.
00:42:08At the proper moment, the invasion will be launched from our platforms which are being readied in space.
00:42:18Nothing can stop us.
00:42:30It's insane.
00:42:36This is ridiculous.
00:42:38You cannot find your way in or out of this cavern.
00:42:42Do not try to leave.
00:43:00The end is falling out of this cavern.
00:43:01I can't stand so much.
00:43:02I can't see you.
00:43:03I can't see you.
00:43:04I can't see you.
00:43:05This is a good friend of mine.
00:43:06You can't see me.
00:43:08I can't see you.
00:43:09You can see me.
00:43:10Let's go.
00:43:11The end of my animation is coming to you.
00:43:14I can't see you.
00:43:15The end of your life is back.

00:47:50Oh, my God.
00:48:20You have discovered our menagerie.
00:48:22Don't you think you will be more at ease on this side of the cage?
00:48:34It's horrible.
00:48:36What are you doing here?
00:48:38We are breeding our, shall I say, armies.
00:48:44Those carnivorous insects and animals.
00:48:50What have you done to them?
00:48:52Their growth is due to a change in their genes.
00:48:55With your next nuclear test, these animals will multiply at a rate beyond imagination.
00:49:01When the time comes, we will unleash them.
00:49:05They will spread to every continent and devour every living thing on the surface of the earth.
00:49:11What good will that do you?
00:49:13How could you expect to survive better than we?
00:49:16We have provided for that.
00:49:27No, Doctor.
00:49:29Look over there.
00:49:40We will use their bodies to fertilize the soil.
00:49:44Vegetation will rise up in abundance.
00:49:47A new era of civilization will begin.
00:49:50Gamma rays?
00:49:55You see, Doctor, we have arranged for everything.
00:50:09Wait a minute.
00:50:10All this equipment?
00:50:12Our nuclear storage units.
00:50:15To date, we have accumulated several billion electron volts as a result of your atomic explosions.
00:50:21Several billion?
00:50:23A chain reaction at this point could release enough unstable isotopes to create a new and powerful element.
00:50:30Might be impossible to control.
00:50:32True.
00:50:34An element that will never be known by your scientists.
00:50:38I can assure you the strength of this new element will be...
00:50:40Why, this is a powder keg.
00:50:41Could go up at any minute.
00:50:44I assure you, Doctor, we have everything under our complete control.
00:50:51What force could possibly be strong enough to harness the...
00:50:57You control your whole operation by electricity.
00:51:00Of course.
00:51:01No generators.
00:51:02That means you're getting your power from somewhere on the surface.
00:51:06It must be passing through here.
00:51:07You have heard enough, Doctor Martin.
00:51:09Step inside.
00:51:13All right.
00:51:14What do you want from me?
00:51:16You will have access to advance information...
00:51:19relative to the time and strength of the forthcoming atomic tests.
00:51:24What about it?
00:51:27You will provide us with that information as soon as it is available.
00:51:32I see.
00:51:38You're afraid of an overload.
00:51:40You can't tap enough electricity wherever you get it from to control a...
00:51:45...strong enough charge.
00:51:46You are a clever man, Doctor.
00:51:50Perhaps too clever.
00:51:52What makes you think I'll give you any information?
00:51:54It is the only way you can save your own life when the time comes.
00:51:59You will be transported to one of our platforms in space and resettled here when our operation is completed.
00:52:05You are asking me to sabotage the entire world.
00:52:09Three billion people.
00:52:11They are doomed in any case.
00:52:12Well, I guess there is no alternative.
00:52:19I'll have to do as you are saying.
00:52:24You are lying, Doctor.
00:52:26Your only wish is to betray us.
00:52:27No!
00:52:29I know.
00:52:30Your thoughts have been recorded.
00:52:36Lie, Detective?
00:52:37Call it what you like.
00:52:39You force me to resort to other methods.
00:52:42I will contact our space station.
00:52:44You are an unwilling subject, Doctor Martin.
00:52:49What?
00:52:51Who are you?
00:52:55I am Vitara.
00:52:57You will listen and obey.
00:53:02No, I...
00:53:04You will listen to my orders and obey me.
00:53:09You will listen and obey.
00:53:12Listen.
00:53:14And obey.
00:53:16You will remember nothing you have seen or heard here.
00:53:21Nothing but my orders which you will obey.
00:53:26Yes.
00:53:29You will obtain, Medana, and bring it to the stone near the place where your plane was wrecked.
00:53:37To the stone.
00:53:39What have you seen or heard here?
00:53:47What have you seen or heard here?
00:53:51Nothing.
00:53:55Repeat my orders.
00:53:57I will obtain the data and bring it to the stone.
00:54:00You know, that's what I did.
00:54:01I took the information to where they told me.
00:54:03I didn't realize I was being mesmerized.
00:54:04Why didn't somebody say something?
00:54:06Don't you believe me?
00:54:08Kurt, you understand.
00:54:09These giant animals, breeding by the millions, they'll devour everything unless we stop them.
00:54:10Of course, Doug.
00:54:11Of course, Doug.
00:54:12We will.
00:54:13We will.
00:54:14We will.
00:54:15Colonel.
00:54:16Colonel.
00:54:17Colonel.
00:54:18Colonel, you've got to arrange to set off another bomb.
00:54:19Tonight, the strongest.
00:54:20You know.
00:54:21You know.
00:54:22You know.
00:54:23You know.
00:54:24You know.
00:54:25I didn't realize I was being mesmerized.
00:54:27Why didn't somebody say something?
00:54:29Don't you believe me?
00:54:31Kurt, you understand.
00:54:32These giant animals, breeding by the millions, they'll devour everything unless we stop them.
00:54:38Of course, Doug.
00:54:39We will.
00:54:40Colonel.
00:54:41Colonel, you've got to arrange to set off another bomb tonight.
00:54:44The strongest charge we have.
00:54:45They're beneath the ground with all their equipment.
00:54:47We can blow them to pieces.
00:54:48Now, wait a minute.
00:54:49A strong charge will overload their units.
00:54:55You don't believe me, Colonel?
00:54:59Major.
00:55:03Kurt.
00:55:04Of course we do.
00:55:05Easy, Doug.
00:55:06Easy.
00:55:07You think I'm crazy.
00:55:08All of you.
00:55:09Well, I'm not.
00:55:10Do you understand?
00:55:11Everything I said is true.
00:55:12I saw it with my own eyes.
00:55:13Give me a hand, Doug.
00:55:14Now, let me go.
00:55:15Let me go.
00:55:16Steady, steady, steady.
00:55:17Take it easy now.
00:55:18Take it easy.
00:55:19We'll talk this whole thing over.
00:55:25What are you doing to me now?
00:55:26You just rest quietly.
00:55:30That's it.
00:55:32Mrs. Martin should be along any minute now.
00:55:48She went for their car.
00:55:49What'll I tell her?
00:55:50Well, he's in a state of shock.
00:55:53Tell her he's resting quietly.
00:55:55If you'll excuse me, I think I'd better wait for her at the information desk.
00:55:59Well, Dr. Martin seems to be indestructible, except for those hallucinations.
00:56:04Those weren't hallucinations, Colonel.
00:56:07Under the influence of sodium amytol, a patient loses all control of his imagination.
00:56:12Well, then he shouldn't be able to fabricate those stories.
00:56:16That's right.
00:56:17Major, you're not trying to tell us that everything he said was true.
00:56:21Look, gentlemen, I can only give you the medical facts.
00:56:26As for the rest, you'll have to decide for yourself.
00:56:29Excuse me, please.
00:56:30Excuse me, please.
00:56:32Thank you, Mr. Martin, thank you.
00:56:37Thank you, Mr. Martin.
00:56:38Thank you, Mr. Martin.
00:56:39Let's go.
00:57:09Good evening, Dr. Krueger.
00:57:15Chilly, isn't it?
00:57:16Oh, Mr. Briggs, you startled me.
00:57:19I didn't expect to see anyone here.
00:57:22Well, neither did I, Doctor.
00:57:24Well, I suppose you want me to explain why I'm here.
00:57:28Mm-hmm.
00:57:30I want to believe, Doug.
00:57:31We've worked together a long time.
00:57:34Anyway, I just had to come out here and check for myself.
00:57:38Check what, Doctor?
00:57:39For an entrance or an exit to the caverns he described.
00:57:43I'm afraid you're wasting your time.
00:57:45Have a cigarette, Doctor?
00:57:46No, thank you.
00:57:47See, we've already covered the entire area.
00:57:50We couldn't find a thing.
00:57:52Then what about that scar?
00:57:55I'd like to see you disprove that.
00:57:58Oh, Mrs. Martin.
00:57:59Oh.
00:58:01How is he, Doctor?
00:58:02Oh, he's resting fine.
00:58:03I think you'll be all right.
00:58:04How's the car?
00:58:05How's the car?
00:58:05Oh, he's resting.
00:58:17Oh, I'm sorry.
00:58:18I'm sorry.
00:58:18There's nothing to worry about.
00:58:40Keep away from me.
00:58:42Keep away, I said.
00:58:44Stop.
00:58:44Let me go.
00:58:45They're after me.
00:58:46Nobody's after you, Dr. Martin.
00:58:48Keep away.
00:58:48Doc, he's trying to help you.
00:58:50I don't need any help.
00:58:56I want to see Kurt right away.
00:59:00Now, you control yourself, and I'll call him just as soon as you get back to your room.
00:59:14Now, you get back into bed, and I'll call Dr. Kruger.
00:59:16I've got to figure something out before he gets here.
00:59:26Need a pencil, some paper, and a slide roof.
00:59:30I'll see that you get it.
00:59:33Oh, can I have Dr. Kruger, please?
00:59:35Dr. Kruger speaking.
00:59:45Oh, yes, Major.
00:59:46How is he?
00:59:48All right.
00:59:49I'll be over in a few minutes.
00:59:50Doug.
00:59:52Doug.
00:59:56Doug.
01:00:03Doug.
01:00:13Doug.
01:00:13Kurt!
01:00:36Ellen, I got here as soon as I could. Is there anything wrong?
01:00:39He's much better. Imagine he's even started working.
01:00:42He asked for paper and a slide rule.
01:00:44That's interesting.
01:00:47I wonder what he's up to.
01:00:48Formulas, equations...
01:00:50Anyway, whatever he says, pretend to agree with him.
01:00:53Major Cliff's orders.
01:00:54Of course.
01:00:59Doug!
01:01:00Doug Kurt's here.
01:01:01Hello, Doug.
01:01:02Just a second. I'm almost finished.
01:01:04I'll take your hat.
01:01:09Kurt?
01:01:10Let's face it.
01:01:12I know that you all think there's something wrong with me.
01:01:15No, of course not.
01:01:16No, I wouldn't blame you after the story I told last night.
01:01:19Well, frankly, you did have us a little worried asking that a bomb be dropped because of what you said.
01:01:24You don't believe me either.
01:01:26Kurt, I tell you, I've been there. I've seen what they're doing.
01:01:29Breeding animals into carnivorous monsters.
01:01:31But I don't need a bomb to stop them. I've figured it out. It's all here.
01:01:35Now, look.
01:01:37Here's the nuclear strength of our last test.
01:01:40And this is the amount of electricity needed to control it.
01:01:43Let me see that.
01:01:44I had to estimate the conversion rates of their transformers.
01:01:48These figures are correct. Such transformers must operate on a constant supply of electricity.
01:01:53Where could they get that much electric power?
01:01:55Only one way. They must tap it from the main lines of the powerhouse.
01:01:59Could do it by parallel induction. Nobody would ever know the difference.
01:02:02All we have to do is to cut it off.
01:02:05Cut off the power?
01:02:07We can't do that. It would cause untold damage for miles around.
01:02:10Such a power stoppage must be planned in advance.
01:02:13Eight to ten seconds. That's all I need.
01:02:15That gap in supply will short out their resistors and the whole thing will go up.
01:02:19But you won't go along with that. No, no.
01:02:21Chuck, get back in bed.
01:02:23There's no car keys there.
01:02:25Now look, you're carrying this.
01:02:26Out of my way.
01:02:27Doug!
01:02:38Please call the main gate and try to stop Dr. Martin.
01:02:48Doug took the car. Hurry!
01:02:50Stop!
01:02:51Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
01:02:53He did what?
01:02:55How long ago?
01:02:56Right. We'll leave immediately.
01:02:57What's wrong, Colonel?
01:02:58Dr. Martin.
01:02:59He's on his way to the powerhouse and wants to cut off the power supply.
01:03:00Let's go.
01:03:03Right. We'll leave immediately.
01:03:05What's wrong, Colonel?
01:03:07Dr. Martin. He's on his way to the powerhouse.
01:03:09He wants to cut off the power supply.
01:03:11Let's go.
01:03:21I couldn't stop him, Doctor. He went that way.
01:03:33I couldn't stop him.
01:03:35I couldn't stop him.
01:03:37I couldn't stop him.
01:03:39I couldn't stop him.
01:03:41I couldn't stop him.
01:04:03Hey! No parking!
01:04:05Mr. Martin.
01:04:35THE END
01:05:05Okay, you run up the stairs. I'll look here.
01:05:10There's his car. Come on, hurry.
01:05:36He isn't back there. Let's go.
01:05:43Where's the driver of this car?
01:05:48He went into the building.
01:05:50He went into the building.
01:05:57Listen, the control.
01:06:04Listen, the control.
01:06:11Listen, the control.
01:06:18Listen, the control.
01:06:25You better take the stairs.
01:06:32You better take the stairs.
01:06:44You better take the stairs.
01:06:51What do you want?
01:06:58Where are the main switches?
01:07:00What's the matter with you?
01:07:01You sleepwalking or something, mister?
01:07:02Where are the switches that control the toll of that Platz area?
01:07:09Listen, where are they?
01:07:11This way.
01:07:12This row room.
01:07:13Yeah.
01:07:14This row room.
01:07:15Yeah.
01:07:16Uh-huh.
01:07:17Come on.
01:07:18Come on, show me those switches.
01:07:19Come on.
01:07:20Come on.
01:07:21All right.
01:07:22I'll go.
01:07:23All right.
01:07:24This way.
01:07:33Throw room.
01:07:35Yeah.
01:07:45Come on, show me those switches. Come on!
01:07:47All right.
01:07:49Cut that power.
01:07:52Now look, mister, be reasonable.
01:07:54I said cut it.
01:08:01Now the next one.
01:08:07Next.
01:08:08Go on.
01:08:09That'll turn the power off for a hundred miles.
01:08:12Do as I say.
01:08:15Here it is.
01:08:19Stay where you are.
01:08:25Put down that gun, Dr. Mudd.
01:08:27I'm warning you, Colonel.
01:08:29Come any closer and I'll kill you.
01:08:31Now the next one.
01:08:35What's this one?
01:08:37That's the master switch.
01:08:39Cut it.
01:08:40Doug, please, don't.
01:08:41I said cut it!
01:08:43Get back or I'll kill him.
01:08:45Go on, get back.
01:08:47Go on, get back.
01:08:48Do as he says.
01:08:54Give me ten seconds after I cut the power.
01:08:56If I'm insane, nothing will happen and you can do what you want with me.
01:09:00And if I'm right.
01:09:02I'll kill him.
01:09:03I'll kill him.
01:09:04Now.
