00:02:34This thing's doing 50 miles a second as a matter of fact
00:02:38Think it could be some kind of missile
00:02:40Not at 180,000 miles an hour. There isn't a missile made that comes near that
00:02:44Just like all the other reports one contact in an area maybe two then nothing
00:02:50Air Defense Command says the bogey's been picked up all around the globe today
00:02:53Washington wants to keep a close check on it
00:02:56Close check on what? I wish I knew
00:02:58What kind of crap can possibly fly over our military post and cities in broad daylight without being seen or heard?
00:03:05There isn't any kind of crap that could do that there has to be some kind of explanation for this Matthews
00:03:09No, I think we'll find it some kind of light aberration or temperature inversion has happened before those blips were pretty solid colonel
00:03:14Yes, I know they were I know they've been picked up all over the country
00:03:18And I also know that any object going through the atmosphere at that rate of speed would completely disintegrate
00:03:22I think we better take this up with Pacific tech. They may be able to throw some light on it
00:03:26I don't think we'll be confronted with any problem. We can't answer for ourselves general
00:03:31Yes, I know we have a staff of top scientists in uniform
00:03:35There are also some top civilians available to us if we need them the way things are today. We can't afford to take any chances
00:03:44Colonel Matthew speaking
00:03:49Nolan here
00:03:52Well
00:03:54Where'd you say?
00:03:57Yes, of course, we'll have someone up there to investigate right away. Thank you. Goodbye
00:04:04Forest Rangers have found some kind of an object up in the mountains in the canyon near Bear Lake now. That's there not far out of Oak Ridge
00:04:10What kind of object?
00:04:12Ball shaped things that look like a satellite
00:04:15Could be the UFO you better get up there and check it out
00:04:19Hope it isn't another saucer scare for that reason I won't make a report till I hear from you better take a radio car
00:04:24Yes, sir. Now the Rangers will be waiting for you to turn off at the lake just past Grant's Lodge
00:04:29Let me know what you find out. Yes, sir
00:04:31Get me a dr. Carl Sorenson Pacific Tech astrophysics Department
00:04:41A canyon near Bear Lake that'd be Stone Canyon
00:04:44Yes
00:04:45We'd like very much if you could go up there
00:04:48Well, I can make it up there within an hour. That'll be fine doctor. Thank you very much. I'm glad to be of assistance
00:04:55Bye
00:04:57Bye
00:05:27The End
00:05:57I guess they knew about it all the time.
00:06:10It's probably one of their experimental projects.
00:06:13All right, where is this object?
00:06:14Over in the canyon.
00:06:15Just a short ways over that rise.
00:06:17Funny how these Pacific Tech fellas get around.
00:06:19He wants to come in by the back fire road.
00:06:27Down there, sir.
00:06:47What do you make of it, Colonel?
00:06:48I don't know.
00:06:50Let's get a closer look at it.
00:06:52What's that?
00:07:09Colonel Matthews?
00:07:24That's right.
00:07:26I'm Carl Sorensen, Pacific Tech.
00:07:29General Noland asked me to meet you here.
00:07:30He thought I might be of some help.
00:07:32What figures?
00:07:33Well, what have you decided?
00:07:35I see you have your radiation equipment on operation.
00:07:37There's radiation around here, all right.
00:07:40But I haven't yet figured out what kind.
00:07:43Do you think it's safe for us to go down there?
00:07:45Well, I can't say for certain that it's safe for us to go down there, Colonel.
00:07:48But as far as radiation is concerned, it's as safe down there as it is here.
00:07:53I guess you're right about that.
00:07:54Let's go.
00:08:06What is this thing, Colonel?
00:08:19In outer space?
00:08:21As a calculated guess, let's say it was.
00:08:26You won't find anything under it.
00:08:30Metal?
00:08:31Something like that.
00:08:33More like glass.
00:08:36Seems fairly solid.
00:08:38It's a thick skin, anyway.
00:08:40What are the chances that something's inside?
00:08:43What do you think?
00:08:45I'd say no.
00:08:46No ports, no seams.
00:08:49Instruments, probably.
00:08:50Most likely some kind of observation unit, wouldn't you say?
00:08:53Something like that?
00:08:54I mean, I don't think any kind of living thing could be in there.
00:08:57Well, not as we know it, anyway.
00:09:00Well, you're probably right.
00:09:02It's instruments.
00:09:04Gray.
00:09:05We turn to the car and radio the air base.
00:09:08Tell them to send an art guard detail here immediately.
00:09:11Equip for field duty.
00:09:12Inform the general I'll give them a full report presently.
00:09:15Yes.
00:09:15Right away, Colonel.
00:09:18I'll have to ask you to keep completely quiet about this for the present, anyway.
00:09:21Yeah, I guess the folks down in Oak Ridge would get panicky
00:09:24if they knew there was some kind of mysterious object up here.
00:09:27You can count on me, Colonel.
00:09:29Good.
00:09:29Any idea what keeps this thing off the ground?
00:09:34Defying the law of gravity?
00:09:36Well, it's something like gravity in reverse, I think, like anti-gravity.
00:09:41Anti-gravity?
00:09:43Never heard of a force like that.
00:09:44Well, for years, it's been nothing but a theory.
00:09:47But then again, I've never seen an object from interstellar space before, either.
00:09:52Knowledge of what makes this thing work could be the greatest military weapon of all time.
00:09:58Space supremacy could be ours overnight.
00:09:59They do say knowledge is power.
00:10:03That's right.
00:10:05There are two kinds of power.
00:10:07Constructive and destructive.
00:10:09Now, you talk of space supremacy and weapons.
00:10:12I say that's the wrong type of thinking.
00:10:14I guess you're entitled to your opinion.
00:10:16Look, Colonel, this object has obviously traveled millions of miles throughout outer space.
00:10:21Some intelligence has caused it to be here.
00:10:23Some technology far superior to ours.
00:10:27Where it came from, how it got to be here, what it's here for.
00:10:30Those are the important questions.
00:10:32I believe it's a question of which team you're on.
00:10:35There's only one team now, Colonel, ever since Hiroshima.
00:10:39The military and science are one and the same now.
00:10:42I agree with you, Dr. Sorensen.
00:10:44And for that reason, I'm sure I won't have any trouble getting all the expert help I need
00:10:48to find out what makes this thing tick.
00:10:50You may need more than that.
00:10:52Who or whatever caused this object to be here
00:10:54is obviously going to maintain some sort of control over its fate.
00:10:58You may be right.
00:10:59I don't know, but I'll soon find out.
00:11:02General Nolan requested your aid on this project.
00:11:04He must have had good reasons.
00:11:06It's up to you, Sorensen.
00:11:24The guard detail's on its way, Colonel.
00:11:33Should be here in a couple of hours.
00:11:34Good.
00:11:35Get General Nolan for me.
00:11:36Yes, sir.
00:11:44Hello, Bill.
00:11:45What's all the activity?
00:11:46Hi, Kathy.
00:11:47What do you say, Ken?
00:11:49Hi.
00:11:49I hear you found a strange object up here.
00:11:52Some people think it's one of our satellites.
00:11:54What is it, a flying saucer?
00:11:55Pardon me, ma'am.
00:11:56Would you mind telling me who told you about this?
00:11:58How can people find out about it so soon?
00:12:00Who knows?
00:12:01Party line, probably.
00:12:02You know how small towns are.
00:12:03That's how I found out.
00:12:05Why?
00:12:05Is it a military secret?
00:12:07It was, or so I thought.
00:12:09This is Colonel Matthews, Kathy, from Air Force Intelligence.
00:12:12Hello.
00:12:13Hello.
00:12:13My father was in the Air Force.
00:12:15He was a jet pilot in the war.
00:12:17Wasn't he, Mother?
00:12:18He was a football star, too.
00:12:21Yes.
00:12:22That's right, Ken.
00:12:24Is that what you want to be, Ken?
00:12:25Football star and a jet pilot?
00:12:27No, sir.
00:12:28I...
00:12:28Uh...
00:12:29How are things at the lodge, Kathy?
00:12:34About set for the winter?
00:12:36The last guest left this morning.
00:12:39Excuse me.
00:12:45What's your plan, Colonel?
00:12:46First, make a report to the General.
00:12:47Second, cut a road and get some equipment in here and move that thing back to the airbase.
00:12:51Third, find out what's inside.
00:12:57It'll be pretty quiet around here until spring, I guess.
00:13:00Kathy owns the lodge up here.
00:13:02Well, I planned on using your place as a headquarters.
00:13:04I hope you can accommodate us.
00:13:05Yes, of course.
00:13:06We've lots of room.
00:13:08Take over anytime, Colonel.
00:13:09That's the kind of cooperation I like.
00:13:12Consider yourself in the hands of the military.
00:13:14Colonel Matthews, General Nolan is standing by.
00:13:18Pardon me.
00:13:18I'm Carl Sorensen.
00:13:24I may also be on your guest list.
00:13:27Dr. Carl Sorensen?
00:13:28The astrophysicist?
00:13:30That's right.
00:13:31Mother, he's a famous scientist who discovered Omicron radiation.
00:13:35Was that so?
00:13:37I've read some of your books.
00:13:38I'm not sure I understand it all, though.
00:13:41Well, perhaps we ought to sit down sometime and discuss the parts you don't understand.
00:13:45Honest?
00:13:45That'd sure be swell.
00:13:47As you can see, you have an admirer.
00:13:49Ken wants to be an astronomer when he grows up.
00:13:52I can see that.
00:13:53We can certainly use you, Ken.
00:13:56Do you plan to stay at the lodge tonight then, Dr. Sorensen?
00:13:58Well, that actually depends on what happens between now and then.
00:14:04With your strange object, you mean?
00:14:06If something's supposed to happen, do you expect something to develop, doctor?
00:14:11I'm not sure about that either.
00:14:14I see.
00:14:17Well, it was nice talking to you.
00:14:20Goodbye.
00:14:20Goodbye, ma'am.
00:14:21Don't forget, we're going to have a conference.
00:14:24I won't forget.
00:14:28All right, Matthews.
00:14:37Now, the heavy equipment won't get in there till tomorrow morning.
00:14:40Just keep the area well posted.
00:14:43Give out no information.
00:14:45How are you and Dr. Sorensen getting along?
00:14:47Oh, we're great pals.
00:14:49He just pulled out.
00:14:50You mean he's left?
00:14:51He's coming back, isn't he?
00:14:53I'm afraid so, General.
00:14:55I hope so.
00:14:56We need him on his operation.
00:14:58Pardon me, General.
00:14:59But surely this Sorensen isn't the only scientist we can call upon.
00:15:02His attitude's conflicting.
00:15:04I don't think he gives a hang about the military.
00:15:06Never mind his attitude.
00:15:07He has his reasons.
00:15:08Just try and work with him.
00:15:10I'll try, sir.
00:15:11But you know how these civilians are.
00:15:13I guess I should have told you before.
00:15:16Carl Sorensen holds the rank of Major General in the Reserves.
00:15:19Secondly, if it hadn't been for Sorensen, we may never have had the A-bomb.
00:15:24How would you feel if you were a man responsible for such a weapon?
00:15:29I understand, General.
00:15:30Right.
00:15:31Who knows?
00:15:51Maybe we've been wrong all these years.
00:15:52Maybe there isn't such a force as gravity pulling everything toward the center of the
00:15:56Earth.
00:16:01Now, suppose there is this unknown cosmic ray, a particle similar, let's say, to X-ray,
00:16:07pressing in on everything, pushing everything down in proportion to its mass.
00:16:10Now, let's assume that there is such a force.
00:16:15If we could control it, we might be able to make an object such as that sphere move when
00:16:20we wanted to and stay suspended when we wanted to.
00:16:23Are you with me, Rich?
00:16:25Carl, why is it every time I'm almost able to prove out one of your theories, you come
00:16:30up with a new one that proves I'm all wrong?
00:16:32Anti-gravita.
00:16:34Imagine what my students would say if tomorrow morning I should walk into the class and say,
00:16:38students, if you drop an apple from that window, it would not fall to the ground.
00:16:43The larger body does not attract the smaller one as we have always thought.
00:16:48No, students, the apple will be pushed to the ground because Dr. Sorenson says it's so.
00:16:54You know you're on the right track, Rich?
00:16:56I am.
00:16:56Yeah.
00:16:57Here, let me show you something.
00:17:00Suppose we had some sort of a control device within this sphere whereby we could screen off
00:17:06any portion of this surface.
00:17:09Call it a type of deflector.
00:17:11With it, we could control the speed and direction of this object.
00:17:14You know, it is an interesting speculation.
00:17:17Rich, I need help.
00:17:19I need your answers.
00:17:20Well, I can run some figures through UNIVAC.
00:17:21We'll save some time.
00:17:22Good.
00:17:23Let me know what you come up with.
00:17:25I'll be at the lodge or else in my office.
00:17:27Oh, Carl, what about the solar motor?
00:17:29You said yesterday was top priority.
00:17:31Well, that was yesterday.
00:17:34Today, it's second top priority.
00:17:35It doesn't matter.
00:17:36I'm stuck anyway.
00:17:37Something's wrong right here in the photon chamber.
00:17:41I'm sure your theory is right, Carl.
00:17:43I must have made a mistake.
00:17:45No one has ever made a mistake before.
00:17:47Don't worry.
00:17:48You'll come up with the answers.
00:17:49I know you will.
00:17:50And top secret again, you know where to draw the line.
00:17:54It is unfortunate.
00:17:55How much more all of us could learn without these international barriers?
00:18:14My plan is to have a road cut around through here.
00:18:16Then you can move your equipment in.
00:18:18You can back it directly under the object.
00:18:19Shouldn't be any problem.
00:18:21A bulldozer will take care of it in a couple of hours.
00:18:23Good.
00:18:23I'd like this thing on the Air Force Base by early tomorrow evening.
00:18:25Yes, sir.
00:18:27Pardon me, sir.
00:18:28There's another newsman outside.
00:18:30Tell him the same as the others.
00:18:31He'll have to check with General Nolan.
00:18:32I did, sir.
00:18:33He said he thinks someone's passing the buck.
00:18:35Tell him he's probably right.
00:18:37Any sign of Dr. Sorensen?
00:18:39No, sir.
00:18:39Should I try his office again?
00:18:40No, no, no.
00:18:41We can't do much until morning anyway.
00:18:44Everything is secure up in Stone Canyon.
00:18:45Yes, sir.
00:18:46Last radio report said that the entire area is completely surrounded.
00:18:50All roads are posted.
00:18:51Good.
00:18:51That's all, Amy Gray.
00:18:53Major?
00:18:55I think we'll find data and instruments inside this thing
00:18:58that'll put us far in the lead in the race into space.
00:19:00Yes.
00:19:21Corporal, I'm going up to the lodge on some official business.
00:19:24Now, you're in charge.
00:19:25I don't want any goofing off, you understand?
00:19:27Right.
00:19:28No goofing off.
00:19:29You know the orders.
00:19:30No one is allowed in or out of this canyon unless authorized.
00:19:32Right.
00:19:33No one is allowed in or out.
00:19:36What do you mean, out of the canyon?
00:19:39Is there somebody in this area besides us?
00:19:41Look, is there any...
00:19:41Those are the orders, Corporal.
00:19:43That's all I know.
00:19:44Why don't you guys start getting jittery?
00:19:46What's that?
00:19:49What's what?
00:19:50Over there.
00:19:52Something moved in the shadow.
00:19:55There's nothing out there.
00:19:58Now, look.
00:19:59Don't start seeing things.
00:20:00I was sure I saw something.
00:20:04Probably an owl or a rabbit or something.
00:20:05It's nothing, kid.
00:20:14Now, take it easy.
00:20:16Yeah.
00:20:17Just our imagination.
00:20:19That's right.
00:20:19So don't let it run away with you.
00:20:21You guys settle down now.
00:20:35Shh.
00:21:05Hey, what are you looking for anyway?
00:21:24What's the matter with you? What are you doing out here?
00:21:26I thought I heard something. Somebody walking.
00:21:30I thought it was nothing, I guess.
00:21:32Oh, I think you need a furlough, buddy.
00:21:34Colonel Matthews around?
00:21:35Yeah, but he's busy right now. Anything important?
00:21:39No, it'll wait.
00:21:43Heard something. Somebody walking.
00:21:54He was never like the sunny islands.
00:21:56Okay, Mom, that'll be 180.
00:22:11My date will take care of it. He'll be right back.
00:22:14Just between you and me, miss.
00:22:16That colonel you're with is a pretty nice guy.
00:22:18Oh, tell me more.
00:22:21Just as I thought. Flirting with the bartender behind my back.
00:22:25Well, he was telling me that for an Air Force officer, you're a pretty nice guy.
00:22:30Oh, I take it you don't go for men in uniform.
00:22:32I'll apply for my discharge immediately.
00:22:38That's the same thing Bill said on our first date.
00:22:42And you married him anyway?
00:22:46Three months later, career.
00:22:49I never saw him again.
00:22:51You want to talk about it?
00:22:52No.
00:22:54Ken summed it up earlier anyway.
00:22:58I'm sorry about Ken.
00:23:00Must be pretty rough on you.
00:23:01Not too.
00:23:03He's a good boy.
00:23:05He's the one that's got it rough.
00:23:07He studies so hard.
00:23:10Science mostly.
00:23:11He wants to do so many things when he grows up.
00:23:15Poor darling will never get to do any of them.
00:23:17How long?
00:23:19Six months.
00:23:20A year maybe.
00:23:23Doctors don't really know.
00:23:26Why?
00:23:27Why don't they know?
00:23:30With all the progress we're making, why don't they know the answer?
00:23:35Why can't a little boy have an equal chance?
00:23:39I don't know.
00:23:40I wish I did.
00:23:42Hey, our favorite tune.
00:23:43How about this dance?
00:23:45I thought you'd never ask me.
00:23:47I thought you'd never ask me.
00:23:53Pardon me, Colonel.
00:23:54The general's on the radio.
00:23:55He has a message for you.
00:23:56Oh, great.
00:23:5724 hours, Nolan, they call him.
00:23:59Excuse me.
00:24:17Who's there?
00:24:32Kathy, what is it?
00:24:35What's wrong?
00:24:35I don't know.
00:24:36In there, it was horrible.
00:24:40Sergeant, search the area on the double.
00:24:41Yes, sir.
00:24:42What was it?
00:24:43What did you see in there?
00:24:44I don't know.
00:24:44What I saw, it was moving and it was...
00:24:48Stay with him, Gray.
00:24:49I'll be right back.
00:24:51Yes, sir.
00:25:01Nothing, sir.
00:25:01The MPs over there have been around all the time.
00:25:03They haven't seen anyone come or go.
00:25:05But, Colonel, I want to tell you about something.
00:25:08What is it, Sergeant?
00:25:09Well, it may sound kind of funny, but a little while ago,
00:25:12just as I pulled into the parking lot,
00:25:14when I turned off my lights, I...
00:25:16I heard these strange noises.
00:25:17I heard these strange noises.
00:25:47Let's go.
00:25:56No!
00:25:56No!
00:25:57No!
00:25:57He said he said it.
00:25:58Don't nobody have that.
00:25:59He turned off.
00:25:59He told me.
00:26:00He told me.
00:26:01He said it.
00:26:02Help me.
00:26:03He turned off.
00:26:04I'll be game-srustfulness.
00:26:05I must be Super Bowl, though.
00:26:05We'll find out already.
00:26:06We'll be game-s 2023.
00:26:06Bye-bye.
00:26:07zmianian thinks that he's in person.
00:26:08Oh, my God.
00:26:38Oh, my God.
00:27:08Oh, my God.
00:27:38Oh, my God.
00:28:08The whole town's in an uproar.
00:28:14You know, most of the people think we've been invaded or something.
00:28:16Can't blame them, I guess.
00:28:18What about Univac?
00:28:20Every tape on the machine was demagnetized.
00:28:22It'll take a couple of days to get everything back in order.
00:28:25You think someone didn't want us to make any calculations for a while?
00:28:28Well, do any radiation research.
00:28:30They got into the specimen vault.
00:28:32All the materials will have to be replaced.
00:28:34But that isn't all.
00:28:35Take a look at this.
00:28:38Hmm.
00:28:38Why, this is the photon chamber.
00:28:42You found a mistake.
00:28:43I didn't.
00:28:45I didn't touch this diagram.
00:28:47I know you haven't.
00:28:48Someone has made a correction in this blueprint.
00:28:51A change has been made in the wiring causing a feedback.
00:28:55I tried it, Carl.
00:28:56It works perfectly.
00:28:58Who or whatever did, made these changes, certainly knew what he was doing.
00:29:02There must be some connection between all of this and the sphere.
00:29:07Colonel Matthews doesn't seem to feel so.
00:29:08He seems to think it's all a series of coincidences.
00:29:11He's going to have a tough time convincing the people of that.
00:29:14There's a mob down at the sheriff's office demanding something be done before everybody is killed.
00:29:20Well, not a soul's been scratched.
00:29:21Not yet, anyway.
00:29:22I don't think anybody will be.
00:29:24Then you do think we have a visitor from space.
00:29:27Yes, I do.
00:29:28I think it's some form of a...
00:29:30Sorensen speaking.
00:29:35Listen, Sorensen.
00:29:37The people of Oak Ridge are demanding that I drop a bomb or something on that sphere.
00:29:40I can't seem to convince them that nothing but their imagination has come out of that thing.
00:29:44How can you be sure of that?
00:29:46Well, I can't be certain.
00:29:47Of course, I'll need proof.
00:29:49You've been able to learn anything?
00:29:50Yes, a few things.
00:29:51But I don't think we can call it concrete proof.
00:29:53I'm going on the assumption that some sort of a creature has come out of that sphere.
00:29:58Dr. Sorensen, it's a little hard for me to assume that some creature, as you call it,
00:30:01could have got past all those guards without being seen.
00:30:04Why not?
00:30:05There's no reason to believe that life from some other planet necessarily resembles or acts the same as we do.
00:30:10I suggest we wait and see what develops.
00:30:12I'm certain that we'll find out what this is all about when it or they are ready to let us know.
00:30:17You do whatever you please.
00:30:19I'm certainly not going to wait and do nothing while all this panic and destruction goes on.
00:30:23And I don't intend letting that sphere sit up there without knowing what's inside it.
00:30:27We're moving it out of the canyon at dawn with or without your aid.
00:30:29Good night.
00:30:34Well, he's still planning on moving it up to the military post.
00:30:37I don't need a calculating machine to tell you what his chances are.
00:30:40I know what you mean.
00:30:43I guess we better go up there and see what we can do to help.
00:30:50Here, better put this on.
00:30:51It gets pretty cold up there in Stone Canyon.
00:30:53What do you got here, Carl?
00:30:54You don't have a dash free?
00:30:56You know how it is.
00:30:57Don't get home much anymore these days.
00:30:59You looking for something?
00:31:01Yeah.
00:31:02Yeah, here it is.
00:31:03Remember this?
00:31:04The MX-1 we called it.
00:31:06Of course I remember.
00:31:07But you mind telling me how this is going to help us on this project?
00:31:10You'll see.
00:31:20What's that all about?
00:31:22I set a trap for him.
00:31:23I wanted to see what it looked like.
00:31:24Look, he's down in the radiation and research room.
00:31:28Well, how'd you know it'd come here?
00:31:29Just a calculated guess.
00:31:33Look, Rich.
00:31:34There's our cosmic man.
00:31:37Like a solid mass, and yet he's not solid.
00:31:39Like a creature made of matter, and yet more like antimatter.
00:31:43Emitting rays rather than reflecting them.
00:31:46Like the reverse of everything as we know it.
00:31:49Like x-ray pictures of things we can't see.
00:31:53Only these are unknown rays.
00:31:56What's it doing in there?
00:31:57What do you suppose it's after?
00:31:58He's just snooping, I think.
00:32:00You know, I believe this thing is an observer.
00:32:02Come on, let's sneak down and see him.
00:32:05Now what?
00:32:05What caused that?
00:32:07Too late.
00:32:08Apparently our friend didn't want to make contact yet.
00:32:11Well, we'd better get up to the lodge.
00:32:12Come on.
00:32:13Well, I've given you up, Swanson.
00:32:26I'm sorry I was late.
00:32:40I had a rather important visitor.
00:32:41Oh, the thing from space, I suppose.
00:32:43As a matter of fact, yes.
00:32:44What do you have to say about all this?
00:32:48We didn't discuss it.
00:32:50You mean you didn't make friends?
00:32:51Or maybe the thing can't talk.
00:32:58What's that?
00:32:59Some kind of secret weapon.
00:33:00You might consider it a secret weapon.
00:33:04Good.
00:33:04Better get it up to the canyon.
00:33:06Just in case your friend objects to having his ship moved.
00:33:09Good morning.
00:33:19Where's Ken?
00:33:20Are you up yet?
00:33:20No.
00:33:21No, not yet.
00:33:22We waited up for you.
00:33:24I mean, Ken stayed up late, hoping you might come back last night.
00:33:28I guess you were too busy with other things.
00:33:30Well, I thought you'd have your hands full with the military and all.
00:33:35Maybe you shouldn't think so much.
00:33:39Some things can't be calculated.
00:33:43I can make a mistake.
00:33:44I'm human.
00:33:46You are hard to figure out.
00:33:48Now, who's calculating?
00:33:51I guess that makes us even.
00:33:53What about the colonel?
00:33:55Oh, he's really very nice.
00:33:57Just sensitive.
00:33:59You mean stubborn.
00:34:00Oh, no, that's not it.
00:34:02He's afraid, I think.
00:34:04Afraid of you mostly and what you stand for.
00:34:06He's afraid you're right and that he's wrong.
00:34:10I think he'd like to admit you're right, but he's too proud.
00:34:15It seems to be a common problem today.
00:34:17Everybody's afraid of scientists.
00:34:19They seem to feel we know some sort of deep, dark secret about the mysteries of life.
00:34:23Really, they're not afraid of what the scientists know.
00:34:27They're afraid of what they themselves don't know.
00:34:30All we're trying to do is find the answers to a lot of questions.
00:34:35I know, I...
00:34:36Well, I have to go.
00:34:38I'll see you later.
00:34:40Will you tell Ken I won't keep him waiting again?
00:34:43I'll tell him.
00:34:44I did not want to frighten you.
00:35:12You are Catherine Grant?
00:35:16Forgive me.
00:35:17I...
00:35:18I didn't hear your car drive in.
00:35:21My vehicle is parked beyond.
00:35:24I desire lodging in this place.
00:35:26Will you be able to accommodate me?
00:35:29Well, you see...
00:35:32Are you one of the scientists they're expecting?
00:35:35It is possible that Dr. Sorensen is expecting me, yes.
00:35:40I guess I'm a little nervous.
00:35:44Won't you please come in?
00:35:46You just missed Dr. Sorensen.
00:35:48He left for the canyon only a moment before you came.
00:35:51Yes, I know.
00:35:53If you wish I could drive you up there in a few minutes, I've got a few things to do here.
00:36:15It will not be necessary.
00:36:16I can do my work as well here.
00:36:19I will see the doctor when he returns.
00:36:22I see.
00:36:23Well, you can have your choice of rooms.
00:36:25You've got very few guests this time of year.
00:36:27If you please.
00:36:28I would like complete privacy.
00:36:31I am much in need of rest.
00:36:32Would you like breakfast, coffee, or anything, Mr...
00:36:37Thank you, no.
00:36:39Well, it's a very nice quiet room in the back.
00:36:42I'll show you.
00:36:43Do not bother.
00:36:44I shall find the room.
00:36:48You have a child who does not walk.
00:36:55Of course.
00:37:00Mother!
00:37:01Are you there?
00:37:02It's getting up time.
00:37:04I'll be there in a minute, Kenny.
00:37:32Get in touch, Colonel.
00:37:33You want to try the bulldozer?
00:37:34No, that won't move it either.
00:37:35That's not the dog-goinest thing I've ever run into.
00:37:51We might just as well be trying to move that whole mountain.
00:37:54Costs about the same thing, Majors.
00:37:56I would now, sir.
00:37:58Metal crew standing fine?
00:37:59Yes, sir.
00:38:00Best men and equipment.
00:38:01Oxalumne torches.
00:38:02It'll cut through anything.
00:38:03All right, men.
00:38:04Get it out of here.
00:38:05All right, men.
00:38:06Get it out of here.
00:38:08Have any luck, Colonel?
00:38:09No, it's some kind of impervious metal or whatever it's made of.
00:38:13It's like the nose cone of an ICBM.
00:38:14It'll withstand temperatures of over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:38:16It'll withstand temperatures of over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:38:17Uh, Colonel.
00:38:18Have a minute.
00:38:19Thanks.
00:38:20Our cutting equipment develops pretty close to that temperature.
00:38:22We didn't make a mark on it.
00:38:23No, he's not.
00:38:24We're not going to survive.
00:38:25I'll take the equipment.
00:38:26I'll take the equipment.
00:38:27Yes, sir.
00:38:28All right, men.
00:38:29Get it out of here.
00:38:30Have any luck, Colonel?
00:38:31No, it's some kind of impervious metal or whatever it's made of.
00:38:34It's like the nose cone of an ICBM.
00:38:36It'll withstand temperatures of over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:38:39Uh...
00:38:41Colonel...
00:38:42Have a minute.
00:38:44Thanks.
00:38:45Our cutting equipment develops pretty close to that temperature.
00:38:48We didn't make a mark on it.
00:38:49You know anything that could do the job?
00:38:51How about this plasma jet I've been hearing about?
00:38:53What's that? I never heard of it.
00:38:55You will be far along.
00:38:56Plasma jet can reach over 30,000 degrees.
00:38:59With it, you can vaporize that or any other kind of matter.
00:39:04It's still in the experimental stage.
00:39:06Think you could take it out of the experimental stage long enough to cut into that thing?
00:39:11I could, but I wouldn't.
00:39:15I didn't think you would.
00:39:16Look, Colonel, supposing you were to land an airplane in a remote district in Africa, an emergency landing.
00:39:23Would that give the natives the right to tear your plane apart because they were curious about something they'd never seen before?
00:39:29I don't want to destroy this thing or anything else. I just want to know what's inside.
00:39:32I want to know why it's here, how it got here, and where it came from.
00:39:35Well, we're after the same answers.
00:39:37Yes, but at least I'm trying to do something about it.
00:39:39Well, so am I.
00:39:41I want to run some experiments. I need your help.
00:39:44Go ahead, Sorensen.
00:39:49Sergeant.
00:40:14Listen to this, Colonel. All morning, those waves have been passing to and from the sphere.
00:40:20What is it, do you know?
00:40:21I'm not sure yet, but it follows a definite pattern. I've made a sound recording of it. We might be able to break it down later.
00:40:26Could be a communication signal. Yes, it could be.
00:40:32What's the fortune of that rig?
00:40:33Well, we know that there's an electromagnetic field around that sphere. We've been checking on it all morning.
00:40:38We found out that the brighter the light, the stronger the charge. Here, look at this indicator. All right, Sergeant.
00:40:44Twelve volts from one reflector. Do you know what?
00:40:45What is it, do you know?
00:40:46What is it, do you know?
00:40:47I'm not sure yet, but it follows a definite pattern. I've made a sound recording of it. We might be able to break it down later.
00:40:50Could be a communication signal.
00:40:51Yes, it could be.
00:40:52What's the fortune of that rig?
00:40:53Well, we know that there's an electromagnetic field around that sphere. We've been checking on it all morning.
00:40:59We found out that the brighter the light, the stronger the charge. Here, look at this indicator. All right, Sergeant.
00:41:11Twelve volts from one reflector. Do you know what this could mean?
00:41:14Well, I don't. What does it mean?
00:41:16It means that if we knew enough about that field, we could operate every electrical appliance in Oak Ridge by sunlight.
00:41:22Do you mean it converts light waves into electricity just like that?
00:41:26Just like that.
00:41:28What would happen to an electrical current? It should convert the light.
00:41:31I don't know. We're going to find out.
00:41:34Airman Gray, take this equipment out to the sphere.
00:41:38Yes, sir.
00:41:58Well, that thing might become a blinding light. You better have your men turn their backs or better yet they cover.
00:42:14Well, a twelve volt battery.
00:42:16I don't know everything. That's why I'm using only twelve volts.
00:42:19Tell them to take cover. Yes, sir.
00:42:21All right, men. Take cover.
00:42:23Take cover.
00:42:38What are you thinking? You act like a man who's about to set off a bomb.
00:42:41Sorry, Carl.
00:42:46All right, Rich. Better take cover of the others.
00:42:50Sure.
00:42:51Sure.
00:42:52It wasn't grounded.
00:43:15It wasn't grounded.
00:43:16What caused that? It was like a sonic blast.
00:43:17That's what it was.
00:43:18It was like a sonic blast.
00:43:19That's what it was.
00:43:20It wasn't.
00:43:21It was like a sonic blast.
00:43:22That's what it was.
00:43:23It was like a sonic blast.
00:43:26What caused that? It was like a sonic blast.
00:43:27That's what it was.
00:43:50You all right
00:43:54Well, we know one thing it doesn't conduct electricity it converts it into sound waves and we know something else
00:43:59Proper current crossing that field would cause a sonic blast that would wipe a city off the face of the earth
00:44:05You really believe something come out of that thing. I'm fairly certain of it
00:44:09We've got to find out what it wants here with powers like this would be in serious trouble if faced with an invasion
00:44:15We're unprepared for anything like this. Maybe there isn't going to be an invasion
00:44:18Maybe not, but we've got to find out what it wants
00:44:22Listen Sorensen
00:44:24Maybe I understand your viewpoint, but try to look at it this way
00:44:29Supposing one of these fears landed somewhere in Russia. You can't deny the value of this thing's technology
00:44:36You don't think our enemy waste any time getting at it
00:44:39Suppose they got the answers first
00:44:41That's a good point colonel
00:44:43We can't afford to sit and wait as far as I can see we haven't any choice
00:44:48General Nolan is standing by sir. He wants to know what all the delay is about. Well, tell them I'll explain tell them I've run it
00:44:55I'll tell them myself
00:44:57And suppose this phantom atom contains particles of a mass of M minus vibrating along the axis X under a force of KX toward the origin
00:45:19You know the equation rich got it
00:45:22If left alone those particles should vibrate with a constant amplitude and frequency of six minus forever, right right right right?
00:45:31But they won't be left alone if they should pass through an electrical or a magnetic field containing the right properties will they?
00:45:38A deflector like that would be sure of death
00:45:47Would split your phantom atoms wide open it's got of the particles
00:45:52Vibrating our frequency they'd collide with each other who knows what might happen like in a cyclotron?
00:45:58Well almost but not quite
00:46:00You see we're dealing in offices here everything's in reverse you might say
00:46:05Right it's about right
00:46:07Right
00:46:10Rich I've forgotten what's the what's the speed of light?
00:46:15Well, let's see. I didn't know I know
00:46:20186,000 miles per second, right?
00:46:22Right, right
00:46:24And look
00:46:26Ken moving at that speed how far would a spaceship travel in one year about six trillion miles
00:46:32That's one light year
00:46:34That's right, right
00:46:37You know how far it is to the nearest star
00:46:39Alpha Centauri
00:46:40Alpha Centauri
00:46:41Four light years I think
00:46:42You think right
00:46:43Ken
00:46:44I wouldn't be surprised if you're the first man to reach that star
00:46:48How about it?
00:46:49No
00:46:50I want to go to the moon
00:46:52The moon?
00:46:53Why the moon?
00:46:54Because it's not so far away
00:46:56I hate to break up this conference but it's time for your dinner young man
00:46:59Well I'm glad you didn't come any sooner we couldn't get along without his assistance thank you Ken thank you very very much
00:47:06That's all right
00:47:07That's all right
00:47:08Dr. Sorenson
00:47:10Is that what you think the cosmic man's from? Alpha Centauri?
00:47:14But I didn't
00:47:16What makes you think I think there is such a man?
00:47:19Mother said you did
00:47:21She said she heard you talking to Colonel Matthews about the possibility
00:47:24She said she bet you're right too
00:47:26Well I didn't know you were a betting woman
00:47:29I
00:47:30Ken
00:47:31What ever made you
00:47:43I never knew you took to Kitsowelka
00:47:45Remember what I said before
00:47:47Yes I remember
00:47:48I don't get any ideas besides she's partial to the military
00:47:51Not from where I was watching
00:47:53Speaking of
00:47:54I wonder what's happened to our Colonel
00:47:57Well I imagine he's quite busy explaining to the General what went on out there this afternoon
00:48:01How'd you like that job?
00:48:02No thanks
00:48:03You know the General seemed pretty upset and quite confused about the whole thing
00:48:07He's gonna be more confused before the night's over I think
00:48:10More observations you mean
00:48:12You know
00:48:14Apparently only operates at night
00:48:16Well that's part of the answer
00:48:18Look
00:48:19He's obviously partially visible during the daytime but totally invisible at night
00:48:23You think it knows what we've been doing?
00:48:35Yes I do
00:48:36Messages relayed from the sphere
00:48:40From a master brain transmitter but how?
00:48:42Mental telepathy maybe?
00:48:43I don't know
00:48:44Are you gonna tell the Colonel about your magnetic deflector idea?
00:48:45You know what he'll do?
00:48:46Yes I know
00:48:47I won't tell him unless I have to
00:48:48It's getting late
00:48:49You're getting nervous
00:48:50Well I hoped we'd make contact before now before dark
00:48:57Afraid something might go wrong tonight some serious damage is that it?
00:49:00I don't know I hope not
00:49:01If I could only break this thing down if I could contact the cosmic man if I could communicate somehow
00:49:05It's the Colonel
00:49:06General Nolan's with it
00:49:07I thought he would be
00:49:08Look Rich will you do me a favor?
00:49:09Go out and get the MX-1 and set it up in the living room?
00:49:10We're gonna have a surprise party
00:49:11A surprise party?
00:49:12Of course it's a great idea
00:49:13It's a surprise party
00:49:14Of course it's a great idea
00:49:18Now then if this thing does as you say Sorensen
00:49:19Any one of a dozen of these installations might be the target for tonight
00:49:20I'm gonna have a surprise party
00:49:21I thought he would be
00:49:22Look Rich will you do me a favor?
00:49:23Go out and get the MX-1 and set it up in the living room
00:49:24We're gonna have a surprise party
00:49:25A surprise party?
00:49:26Of course it's a great idea
00:49:29Now then if this thing does as you say Sorensen
00:49:43Any one of a dozen of these installations might be the target for tonight
00:49:47The destruction of any one of them would seriously cripple our military strength
00:49:51We can't be sure that the thing is still in this area at all
00:49:54Hmm?
00:49:55You mean it might turn up in another part of the state?
00:49:57Or country?
00:49:58Possible
00:49:59But not very likely
00:50:00The sphere deliberately chose this area in which to land
00:50:02And this would imply that it was after something in this vicinity
00:50:05Hmm
00:50:07Last night's reports would indicate that it was particularly interested
00:50:10In our ion propulsion and our radiation research
00:50:14Now these three plants
00:50:16Are particularly interested in that work
00:50:19Then there is a chance to stop your cosmic man
00:50:23We'll set a trap, capture him
00:50:25What kind of a trap, General?
00:50:27We'll set up a whole battery of lights
00:50:29Force a thing to surrender at gunpoint
00:50:31How do you know that guns offer any threat to this form of life?
00:50:36I don't know, but I'll be prepared to find out if it becomes necessary
00:50:39And if that doesn't work, we have something else that will
00:50:42Professor Steinholtz has been working on it
00:50:44Steinholtz?
00:50:45When did he get into this operation?
00:50:46No offense was intended, Sarnson
00:50:48We just felt that two heads are better than one
00:50:49He arrived from Washington this morning
00:50:51What did he have to say about it?
00:50:53He hasn't said
00:50:54He's to contact us here shortly
00:50:55He must be the stranger who arrived this morning
00:50:58What stranger?
00:50:59Well, I didn't get his name
00:51:01He said he was one of the scientists
00:51:03He wanted a room so he could rest
00:51:05He didn't want to be disturbed
00:51:06Where is he?
00:51:07I guess he's still in his room
00:51:09I wasn't expecting any visitors
00:51:11Couldn't be Dr. Steinholtz
00:51:13I talked with him just before coming up here
00:51:16I wonder if he's still here
00:51:18Well, what will you do at the cosmic man after you capture him, General?
00:51:22What do you mean, son?
00:51:25Hmm?
00:51:26I mean, would you lock him up and make him tell all the secrets of his world?
00:51:30Yes, General
00:51:31Just what would you do with him if you did capture him?
00:51:33Suppose he was to offer you some kind of an ultimatum
00:51:35Are we prepared to make a deal?
00:51:37Remember, we're not dealing with an intelligence on our own level
00:51:40I think you underestimate our intellect, Dr. Sorenson
00:51:44I believe we are prepared to discuss universal relations with your cosmic man
00:51:49Well, supposing he's not able to contact us to tell us the nature of his business
00:51:55I know what
00:51:56You could build a space chamber for him
00:51:58You know what I mean, Dr. Sorenson
00:52:00Suppose he can't live in our atmosphere
00:52:02You could figure out how to duplicate a zone so he'd be at home here
00:52:05Then you both could figure out a way how to talk to each other
00:52:16You think something like that would work, Sorenson?
00:52:18Tell you what I'm going to do
00:52:20I'm going to take it up to the National Academy
00:52:22Hey, wait a minute
00:52:23That won't help us right now
00:52:28Matthews, radio headquarters
00:52:30Have him send some floodlights up to those plants and a squad of well-armed men
00:52:36Hey, what's that thing?
00:52:37This is the MX number one
00:52:38It might be called a secret weapon
00:52:40A secret weapon?
00:52:41What is it?
00:52:42It's a weapon for men of vision to combat the problems of outer space
00:52:45Present for you, Ken
00:52:47Mother!
00:52:49A real telescope!
00:52:52Look!
00:52:54Really, Dr. Sorenson, this is hardly the time for...
00:52:57We've got to find that infernal cosmic man
00:53:01What happened?
00:53:02Do not be alarmed
00:53:05I am here in the darkness
00:53:09It is better that I remain concealed
00:53:12You do not understand my appearance
00:53:17Who are you?
00:53:18I demand you state your business here
00:53:20Your demands mean nothing to me
00:53:22It has been decided, however
00:53:25That I will speak to those of you who have expressed words and thoughts of understanding
00:53:32You, Dr. Sorenson
00:53:34Are engaged in a difficult field of endeavor
00:53:38You search for truth in a society who fears the truth
00:53:43But you and others like you are the hope of the world
00:53:46You must hold to your convictions
00:53:49You must continue your work
00:53:52The fate of your civilization will become your responsibility
00:53:57What's he talking about?
00:53:59What's he mean the fate of our civilization?
00:54:01Come out of there so I can see you
00:54:04As you wish, General
00:54:06We're not concerned with your international politics, General
00:54:11It is your philosophy that concerns us
00:54:13But that would be of no importance
00:54:17Were you not about to embark on interspatial
00:54:20Yes, intergalactic travel
00:54:23But the peoples of your society
00:54:26Must develop a new concept of thinking
00:54:29Adopt and practice new values
00:54:32And principles of living together
00:54:35Before they will be ready
00:54:37To encounter the civilizations of the universe
00:54:40You don't expect me to believe your only concern
00:54:42Is in the mental attitude of the people
00:54:45You are right, General
00:54:47There are other motives
00:54:49But they offer you no great problem
00:54:51I am one of many cosmonauts
00:54:54Our purpose is manifold
00:54:56We travel far
00:54:58Searching out and exploring new worlds
00:55:01Of which there are countless millions in this universe
00:55:04Many observers such as I have visited this planet before
00:55:09Many more will come in the future
00:55:12What we learn of life forms
00:55:15Atmospheres
00:55:17Raw materials
00:55:19All this knowledge is transmitted to all the advanced civilizations
00:55:23In the free cosmos
00:55:25Some worlds are old
00:55:27Their peoples must migrate to younger planets
00:55:30Where living conditions are similar
00:55:33Some worlds are lifeless
00:55:34But have an abundance of life-giving material
00:55:38Which can be shared by all
00:55:41Your vast oceans for instance
00:55:44Have been mined for centuries
00:55:46By a society from a far distant world
00:55:50The materials they remove
00:55:53Will never be of any use to any living creature of your world
00:55:57The cycle of your daylight
00:55:59Your atmosphere
00:56:01Impose certain limitations upon my operations
00:56:04It is necessary that I leave your world
00:56:07At the break of day
00:56:09But I must ask you, General
00:56:11Not to attempt the interference which you contemplate
00:56:14I shall cause no harm
00:56:16Unless provoked
00:56:17Must mean Steinholtz
00:56:20Wait a minute
00:56:21I want to know your plans
00:56:23It is better for all
00:56:25That you do not know
00:56:27Stop!
00:56:32One more move and I'll fire
00:56:33Greg, quick, get out there, try to keep track of them
00:56:45Sergeant!
00:56:46Radio the base
00:56:48Have every available man stationed around those atomic plants
00:56:50Have all roads leading from this area blocked
00:56:52Telephone, General, Dr. Steinholtz says it's urgent
00:56:55Good, it's about time
00:56:57Maybe he's got the answer
00:57:01What are you going to do now?
00:57:03I don't know
00:57:04Try to get to Steinholtz before he gets the equipment he needs, I guess
00:57:07Think he has it figured out?
00:57:08Well, if I know Steinholtz, he's got it figured out all right
00:57:11You do know, Ben
00:57:12You know how the Cosmic Man can be destroyed
00:57:15Yes, I know
00:57:18We've got to stop him before he gets to the magnets that he needs to do this experiment
00:57:21Come on
00:57:25It sure looks bad for Dr. Sorensen and the Cosmic Man, doesn't it, Mom?
00:57:29It looks bad
00:57:30But I'm still betting on him
00:57:34I am too
00:57:41I see, thank you very much
00:57:44An army truck hold those electromagnets away from the atomic plant over an hour ago
00:57:47They must be up there by now
00:57:49Looks like Steinholtz had to figure it all right
00:57:51General holds all the aces
00:57:52Unless we can find our cosmonaut before dawn
00:57:54That won't solve the problem
00:57:56Well, maybe we can get him to the sphere before the General is ready for him
00:57:58Come on
00:57:59Right
00:58:08Sergeant, where's General Nolan?
00:58:09I've got to see him, it's important
00:58:10He's not here, sir
00:58:11I know you know where he is, now tell me, where is he?
00:58:13Well, he's up in Stone Canyon
00:58:14No, never mind, Sergeant
00:58:15Colonel
00:58:17Colonel
00:58:18You can't go through with this plan
00:58:19Don't you understand?
00:58:20You may be destroying the only opportunity we'll ever have of establishing friendly relations with the...
00:58:24Friendly?
00:58:25Look here, Sorensen
00:58:26I'll show you about friendly relations
00:58:28Rocket propulsion incorporated at 7.35 PM
00:58:31Contamination supply of liquid hydrogen and other exotic fuels cause unknown
00:58:36But we know, don't we, Sorensen
00:58:38National Electric, 8.45 PM
00:58:39Radioactive material thorium, actinium and uranium exposed to bombardment of mysterious cosmic rays
00:58:45Delivery of order of atomic reactors postponed indefinitely
00:58:49Mysterious cosmic rays
00:58:51Does that sound like friendly relations?
00:58:53Anybody hurt?
00:58:54Any casualties?
00:58:55Fortunately not, but the loss was in the millions, I hope you realize that
00:58:58All basic elements
00:59:00He's evidently been running a complete test in every atom we know
00:59:03And a few we don't know it looks like
00:59:06Call it what you will, no matter how you put it, the thing's an international menace
00:59:09I think you're taking this too seriously, Colonel
00:59:11All those materials can be replaced
00:59:13And as for those new developments, they may be obsolete in a year or two anyway
00:59:17The important thing is that no one was killed and no one was hurt
00:59:19What does that prove?
00:59:20People didn't happen to be in the way, that's all
00:59:22It proved a whole lot to me
00:59:24It proves that they know what they're doing
00:59:25It proves that they could render us a completely helpless society anytime they wished
00:59:28And without killing a soul
00:59:30That's more than we can do
00:59:32The atom bomb, you mean
00:59:33I know all about that, Sorensen
00:59:37I know you must have a guilty conscience because of your contribution to Hiroshima
00:59:42But you don't have to worry about this
00:59:43You don't have to have any part of it
00:59:45You put a magnetic field around that sphere, you're gonna have more in your conscience than an A-bomb
00:59:50Sergeant, don't let this man out of your sight
00:59:52Yes, sir
00:59:53I'm sorry, Sorensen
00:59:54But I can't afford any more interference
01:00:03That was a very nice thing you did for Ken
01:00:10I wanted to thank you earlier, but
01:00:13I like him
01:00:15I heard what the Colonel said
01:00:17It just
01:00:19Isn't there anything you can do, Carl?
01:00:21Not unless we can find the Cosmic Man before morning
01:00:25Then I'm not sure
01:00:27I'm not sure about anything anymore
01:00:29Maybe I've been wrong all the time
01:00:31Maybe I've been telling myself the wrong things just because I wanted them to go that way
01:00:35Maybe...
01:00:37Maybe the Cosmic Man is an evil force
01:00:38You don't think that's true, and I know it
01:00:41Neither does Dr. Richie, I don't either
01:00:44Remember what he said
01:00:46About how you're searching for the truth while everyone around you is afraid of the truth
01:00:50About how you have to hold on to your convictions
01:00:53That's what you've got to do, Carl
01:00:56You know you're right, so do I
01:00:58I'm betting on it
01:01:00Kathy, let me tell you something about betting
01:01:03The odds are against you in a long shot
01:01:05I know I can prove it mathematically
01:01:06You may be right
01:01:09But think of how much I'll win if my dark horse comes in
01:01:13Thanks
01:01:19Now don't say anything, I know what you're thinking
01:01:26Checkmate
01:01:28What did you do then, you two men at one
01:01:31That's castling
01:01:32Checkmate
01:01:35He's doing fine
01:01:39You're doing okay right now
01:01:43Did you say checkmate?
01:01:45Checkmate?
01:01:46Check
01:01:48Ken, what are you doing up at this hour?
01:01:50Who are you?
01:01:51We've been playing chess at all kinds of games
01:01:53I don't understand, you've no right to...
01:01:56Ken, you should have called me
01:01:59It's the middle of the night, Ken must have his rest
01:02:01What are you doing up at this hour?
01:02:03Who are you?
01:02:04We've been playing chess and all kinds of games.
01:02:07I don't understand.
01:02:09You've no right to.
01:02:11Ken, you should have called me.
01:02:13It's the middle of the night.
01:02:14Ken must have his rest.
01:02:16It was my fault, Mother.
01:02:17I asked him to stay.
01:02:19We were having such fun.
01:02:21Yes, we were having fun, weren't we?
01:02:24The boy has given me much pleasure
01:02:26and a needed diversion from my work.
01:02:29I thought you had gone.
01:02:31No one has seen you all day.
01:02:34Did you talk to Dr. Sorensen?
01:02:36Yes.
01:02:37We communicated earlier in the evening.
01:02:40But I didn't want to go without becoming better
01:02:42acquainted with your boy.
01:02:44I see.
01:02:45You're leaving then.
01:02:46Yes, very soon.
01:02:48I have far to travel and must start early.
01:02:50I've already stayed too long.
01:02:52Forgive me if I've inconvenienced you.
01:02:54Perhaps we can continue our games at some future time.
01:03:03Goodbye, my boy.
01:03:04Goodbye.
01:03:05And remember to practice your chess game.
01:03:07Yes, I will do that.
01:03:09Thank you for teaching me how to play.
01:03:11Goodbye to you both.
01:03:16He sure learned the game fast.
01:03:19But I beat him every time.
01:03:21We talked about all kinds of things.
01:03:23He sure does know a lot.
01:03:24Almost as much as Dr. Sorensen.
01:03:26But not quite, is that it?
01:03:28Now you go to sleep.
01:03:29It's getting late.
01:03:30All right.
01:03:31But remember to wake me up in time to go to Stone Canyon.
01:03:34I want to see the cosmic man leave.
01:03:36Do you think he will?
01:03:37The general doesn't think so.
01:03:39Dr. Sorensen will find a way to help him.
01:03:41I bet he's got things fixed up right now.
01:03:45I sure wish I could help.
01:03:52Calm down.
01:03:54I'll wake you in time.
01:03:55Promise?
01:03:56Promise.
01:04:15I'll wake you in time.
01:04:24I'll wake you in time.
01:04:24Do not be afraid my boy.
01:04:35All right, bring that extinguisher over here.
01:04:38You may get those warriors going out.
01:04:39Hurry up now.
01:04:40Sergeant, set that antenna up.
01:04:45All right, yeah, plug that in there.
01:05:15Carl.
01:05:21Good morning, Kat.
01:05:23Carl, I'm worried about something.
01:05:26Yeah, so am I.
01:05:27I'd hoped the cosmic man would come back before dawn.
01:05:29Do you think it's possible that that man is...
01:05:35Oh, good morning, Kat.
01:05:37Carl, I'm worried about something.
01:05:39So am I.
01:05:40I hoped the cosmic man would come back before dawn.
01:05:43Do you think it's possible that that man is...
01:05:46He's so strange.
01:05:47His voice, his face...
01:05:48What man? What are you talking about?
01:05:50That scientist, that doctor, whatever his name is.
01:05:53He was in Ken's room and they were playing chess.
01:05:55Is he still there?
01:05:56No, he left.
01:05:57Said he had to leave early.
01:05:58He had to travel far.
01:06:00He did say, though, that he'd had his talk with you, did he?
01:06:03Maybe he did.
01:06:04Maybe he did.
01:06:05Will you take me to his room?
01:06:07Sorry, sir.
01:06:07I can't let you out of my sight.
01:06:09Well, then you have to come with me.
01:06:19That's the bag he was carrying this morning when he arrived.
01:06:22Well, that's fine.
01:06:22I've had it for years.
01:06:24Come on.
01:06:33Sergeant.
01:06:33Check with all the guards to see if they've seen anything.
01:06:35Hurry.
01:06:36If he can't have gone far, maybe we can catch him.
01:06:38Carl.
01:06:39Carl!
01:06:41Ken is gone.
01:06:43He's taken Ken.
01:06:44He must have taken him as a hostage.
01:06:45No one has left the parking lot, sir.
01:06:47Is there any other way to get to Stone Canyon from here?
01:06:49Yes.
01:06:50There's a trail through the hill.
01:06:51It isn't far that way.
01:06:53We hurry.
01:06:53Maybe we can get there before he does.
01:06:55Stay here with Kathy.
01:06:56Sergeant, clear those roadblocks.
01:06:57We've got to hurry.
01:07:20We'll bring your box down.
01:07:29General!
01:07:30You'll have to hold everything.
01:07:31He's taken Ken prisoners.
01:07:32He's headed this way on the back trail.
01:07:35Major, you heard.
01:07:36Yes, sir!
01:07:38Sargent, if this is a trick...
01:07:39This is no trick.
01:07:40At least not for me.
01:07:42Still think your man's harmless, Doctor?
01:07:43I am here.
01:08:08I am here.
01:08:13You have not come closer, any of you.
01:08:17If you do as I say, no harm will be done to this boy.
01:08:23Carl!
01:08:24Have no fear.
01:08:27You will turn off the electrical apparatus.
01:08:30He's outsmarted us.
01:08:32All right.
01:08:33Turn off the magnetic field.
01:08:39Everybody, get back.
01:08:41Wait, Eddie.
01:08:42Wait.
01:08:43But if anything happens to Ken, I'll...
01:08:47I will leave your planet now.
01:09:10For the present, my work here is finished.
01:09:15If I should return in the future, perhaps we will meet with a better understanding.
01:09:21You'll remain where you are till I have gone.
01:09:31We must not let him escape, General.
01:09:33We must learn the secrets of this object.
01:09:42Now is our chance.
01:09:44He must not reach his ship, General.
01:09:45We must go.
01:09:54Now is our plan.
01:10:03Go.
01:10:05Can, are you all right?
01:10:33Mother!
01:10:35Ken!
01:10:43Ken!
01:10:53Ken!
01:11:05Ken!
01:11:07Ken!
01:11:33Goodbye, Cosmic Man.
01:11:37Ken!
01:11:47He'll come back.
01:12:07He'll come back.
01:12:13He'll come back.
01:12:15The End
