00:03:25Standby.
00:03:27Roger and over.
00:03:29She's all yours.

00:03:45Roger.
00:03:46Proceed according to plan.
00:03:47We'll go and out.
00:03:57Take her in closer.
00:03:59Okay, Dr. Martin.
00:04:01We'll have to keep at least two miles from the center of the column.
00:04:15Radiation was too strong.
00:04:19What's that thing shining below?
00:04:23Looks like a fireball.
00:04:25Better check.
00:04:27Dr. Martin.
00:04:29Dr. Martin, we're in trouble.
00:04:31Pull out.
00:04:33Pull out!
00:04:35I can't.
00:04:37The controls are frozen.
00:04:39I can't.
00:04:45The controls are frozen.
00:04:47The controls are frozen.
00:04:49I can't.
00:04:51I can't.
00:04:53You can't.
00:04:55But the controls are frozen.
00:04:57You can't.
00:04:59Tar Baby 2 from base.
00:05:10Come 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.
00:05:27All 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.
00:05:47Control from Tar Baby 7.
00:05:50Wreckage sighted southwest corner Soledad Flats.
00:05:54Ship appears completely demolished.
00:05:55No sign of survivors.
00:05:58Over.
00:05:59Roger, Tar Baby 7.
00:06:02Circle wreckage at 1-0-0-0 feet until arrival of helicopter rescue unit.
00:06:08Dr. Krueger, Colonel Banks speaking.
00:06:10Would you mind coming into my office right away, please?
00:06:12Yes, sir.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:13I'm sorry.
00:06:13I'm sorry.
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:15I'm sorry.
00:06:15I'm sorry.
00:06:16I'm sorry.
00:06:16I'm sorry.
00:06:17I'm sorry.
00:06:17Dr. Krueger, Colonel Banks speaking.
00:06:35Would you mind coming into my office right away, please?
00:06:44As I was saying, our search planes found the wreckage of your husband's plane, Mrs. Martin.
00:06:51A rescue crew was sent out, but...
00:06:53But they must have breached 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.
00:07:16They found the pilot dead in the wreckage.
00:07:19And according to all reports, no one could have bailed out.
00:07:22I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:07:27Dr. Martin, Dr. Martin, you're all... are you all right?
00:07:54I...
00:07:55I am.
00:07:57Yes.
00:07:58It's Dr. Martin.
00:07:59Call the base hospital.
00:08:00Come on, doctor.
00:08:01Come on.
00:08:05All right, look up to your right.
00:08:09And now look over to your left.
00:08:15All right, get up now.
00:08:27Well, everything seems all right.
00:08:31Except can't you recall anything that happened from the time your plane crashed until...
00:08:36I remember the controls froze.
00:08:38The next thing I saw was the main gate of the base.
00:08:40Your plane was completely demolished.
00:08:42The pilot burned to death.
00:08:43And you show off the picture of health.
00:08:45Are you sure you weren't driven here?
00:08:46Positive.
00:08:47You don't remember where you got this.
00:08:50You know, your medical chart shows no indication of any scars on your body.
00:08:56I must have got it in a crash.
00:08:58Oh.
00:08:59Now, this was surgery.
00:09:01A very skillful incision.
00:09:04I've never had an operation.
00:09:08That's what I don't understand.
00:09:09Mr. Briggs.
00:09:22Colonel Banks.
00:09:23How are you, Mr. Briggs?
00:09:24Fine, how are you?
00:09:24Fine.
00:09:25I see the FBI doesn't waste much time.
00:09:27Well, not if we can help it, Colonel.
00:09:29Oh, you know our base surgeon, Major Clift?
00:09:31Sure.
00:09:32How have you been, Major?
00:09:33How do you do?
00:09:35Well, I guess you gentlemen have business to discuss.
00:09:37Oh, no, no.
00:09:38This won't take a minute.
00:09:39Sit down.
00:09:39Sit down, please, please, gentlemen.
00:09:43Cigarettes.
00:09:44Oh, thank you.
00:09:45I understand you've already talked with Dr. Martin.
00:09:47I just left him.
00:09:50You know, Colonel, according to my files, Dr. Martin is just about the key man on this nuclear project.
00:09:58Yes, along with Dr. Kruger, he is.
00:10:01Well, I know they're both good friends and, well, both have knowledge and access to top secret information.
00:10:07Well, that's very true, but there's no reason to suspect it.
00:10:09Well, we can, uh, we can suspect anything, Colonel.
00:10:12Well, until Dr. Martin accounts for every minute from the time of the crash.
00:10:16The shock must have caused a mental block.
00:10:20His mind doesn't want to remember the details, the origin of the scar on his chest, how he got back to the base under his own power.
00:10:28Mr. Martin, did you ever stop to think that perhaps this Dr. Martin isn't really the Dr. Martin?
00:10:37What are you getting at?
00:10:38Well, what I mean is that, uh, this man could be an imposter.
00:10:42I mean, I mean...
00:11:05Rick speaking.
00:11:06Oh, oh, they did come through, huh?
00:11:08they do check that's what i've been waiting for thanks
00:11:13get me colonel banks in the base please no no i'll wait oh yes mr briggs any news on the line
00:11:31you were getting on dr martin just heard from washington well i was wrong this is our man
00:11:37all right his prints and description check right down the line now here's what i suggest you do
00:11:43but you say it's an excellent physical condition yet you're keeping him in the base hospital
00:11:50why mrs martin you must realize that your husband is engaged in a highly secret work
00:11:56if this experience had well affected his mind are you trying to tell me that doug is
00:12:02no no it's nothing serious mrs martin his reflexes are excellent
00:12:08except for that one lapse of memory his mind is perfectly clear
00:12:13isn't that natural under the circumstances
00:12:15yes except for the question of the scar on his chest
00:12:21i know he didn't have it before the crash i'm sure he didn't mrs martin
00:12:24but you see it would be impossible for a wound of this size to have healed so quickly and
00:12:29without medical attention you can't keep him here indefinitely
00:12:33well we don't intend to uh we've asked you to come down here because we've decided to let
00:12:39you take him home provided you can keep him quiet and he gets him at rest
00:12:42i understand now we'll just have to take that vacation he's been wanting for so long
00:12:46vacation to watch him you think you've never heard of one
00:12:49yes he must have asked me a hundred times when the next test was scheduled
00:12:52he's anxious to take his own readings again
00:12:54well he did have a key part in the planning of these projects
00:12:58well is there anything he should or shouldn't be allowed to do
00:13:01no except he does need diversion
00:13:09anything that won't upset or excited

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? How long am I to be considered?
00:17:32Only temporarily. The 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, uh...
00:18:18I know.
00:18:18I know.
00:18:19You're Miss, uh, Vincent.
00:18:20The secretary I share with, uh...
00:18:22Oh, doctor, you can't be serious.
00:18:23Uh, there 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.
00:18:30Are you sure?
00:18:31Mm-hmm.
00:18:32Oh, I don't really belong here.
00:18:33I just, uh...
00:18:34Just came in to pick up a few personal things from my desk.

00:22:46Okay.
00:22:48Sorry to keep you waiting, doctor.
00:22:50That's all right.
00:22:52Okay, doctor.
00:22:53Will you sign out, please?
00:22:57We'll post a couple of men outside of Dr. Kruger's office.
00:22:59Get me Colonel Banks at the officers' club.
00:23:04Thank you, doctor.
00:23:07Good night.
00:23:08Good evening, Dr. Kruger.
00:23:17Good evening, Dr. Kruger.
00:23:22Good evening, Dr. Kruger.
00:23:23Good evening, Dr. Kruger.
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.
00:23:36Well, what seems to be the trouble.
00:23:37Well, what seems to be the trouble?
00:23:38Oh, just a few things we'd like to straighten out.
00:23:40Concerns me?
00:23:41Well, I'm afraid so, doctor.
00:23:44Take 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, that 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. Martin.
00:24:14Dr. Martin.
00:24:16Dr. Martin.
00:24:17Dr. Martin.
00:24:18He 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, but he...
00:24:27He 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.
00:24:36Do you always do that, doctor?
00:24:38No, 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.
00:24:50So am I.
00:24:51He still hasn't shown up yet.
00:24:53What kind of pipe tobacco do you use, Dr. Kruger?
00:25:07Me?
00:25:08Why?
00:25:09I don't smoke at all.
00:25:11Is it you, Colonel?
00:25:12Cigarettes.
00:25:13What are you driving at?
00:25:14That's funny.
00:25:15How 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.
00:25:35Well, I hate to ask this, but have you ever had any suspicion that there might be another woman?
00:25:45Certainly not.
00:25:47I'm sorry, Mrs. Martin.
00:25:49Just why are you asking me these questions?
00:25:52Well, let's put it this way.
00:25:54Has he made any new friends lately?
00:25:56You know, people not in the usual group.
00:25:58You know, the only people we've seen in months have been connected with the Institute.
00:26:04Excuse me.
00:26:07Hello?
00:26:08Yes, just a moment.
00:26:10It's for you, Mr. Briggs.

00:30:14Hello, Central. Hello, Central. This is Briggs. This is Briggs. Come in.
00:30:22Subject, Dr. Douglas Martin. Last seen in Route 61. Heading toward North Junction.
00:30:27Stopped at gas station corner of Ridgewood and Mills Road. Acknowledge.
00:30:32Roger. Briggs out.
00:30:57Come in.
00:31:02Come in.
00:31:19They're here. They're going to destroy us.
00:31:38He's coming out of it.
00:31:42It's all right, Dr. Martin. You're with Fred. You'll be all right.
00:31:45Let me go!
00:31:46Let me go!
00:31:47Steady now. Steady, Doc.
00:31:48He'll kill everyone. We've got to stop them!
00:31:52Easy, Doug. Easy.
00:32:08What did you give him?
00:32:10Sodium ametone. Truth serum.
00:32:13It deprived his mind of any imagination.
00:32:16I guess he'll make sense now.
00:32:18I'll get the recorder ready.
00:32:24Can you hear me, Dr. Martin?
00:32:26Yes.
00:32:30Now listen to me.
00:32:33I want you to count backwards from 100. Do you understand?
00:32:38Backwards from 100.
00:32:40100.
00:32:40100.
00:32:4199.

00:32:45You can ask him questions now.
00:32:48Ninety-seven, ninety-six, ninety-five, ninety-four.
00:32:58You can ask him questions now.
00:33:01Dr. Martin, what were you doing with the information you took from Dr. Kruger's vault?
00:33:08I was delivering it.
00:33:10Delivering it? But where? To the rocks in Soledad Flats?
00:33:17Yes. To Soledad Flats, where we crashed.
00:33:24I was delivering it, just as I was ordered.
00:33:28Who ordered you to do this, Dr. Martin?
00:33:31I'll tell you the whole story.
00:33:35I remember we were circling the atomic cloud.
00:33:40There was an object blowing beneath us.
00:33:45Soledad Flats.
00:33:47We were going down to investigate.
00:33:51Controls jammed.
00:33:54Couldn't pull out.
00:33:57When I regained consciousness, I was on a table.
00:34:07Next thing I knew, they were coming at me.
00:34:12Strange people.
00:34:14Their eyes, those horrible eyes.
00:34:19They didn't speak.
00:34:24I could see something strange and eerie pulsating in front of me.
00:34:31Then one of them lowered it toward my chest.
00:34:36With my own heart.
00:34:51What happened?
00:34:54What is this place?
00:34:58Who are you?
00:34:59What are you doing to me?
00:35:01Can't you speak?
00:35:03Who are you?
00:35:05action止 Information
00:35:09That.
00:35:10What is this place?
00:35:11Come on.
00:35:12You were there?
00:35:13Okay, go, go, go!
00:35:14She's on a table.
00:35:15I had to picture them.
00:35:16She speed out.
00:35:21Wow.
00:35:22Get out of here.
00:35:24Come on.
00:35:25He's out of here.
00:35:26You made abundant news.
00:35:30Ta insanlar got around here.
00:35:32Let's go.
00:35:34Step forward.
00:35:50Dr. Martin, I see you are quite well.
00:35:54You have recovered from your unfortunate accident.
00:35:58Who are you?
00:35:59A scientist like yourself.
00:36:02Where do you come from?
00:36:04From a planet, yet unknown to you.
00:36:08You know my name. You speak English.
00:36:10We speak every language.
00:36:12You can't expect me to believe that.
00:36:14I'm getting out of here.
00:36:15Today where you are.
00:36:17Who are you?
00:36:26I have already told you that.
00:36:28I have already told you that.
00:36:41How did you get here?
00:36:44Here.
00:36:45Here.
00:36:45In our machines, magnetically propelled across the electron bridge we have created.
00:36:57Electron bridge.
00:36:58Electron bridge.
00:37:07You mean you come and go just like that?
00:37:09Without anyone ever seeing you?
00:37:11Our ships have been sighted on numerous occasions by your people.
00:37:15Then why haven't we been able to track one down?
00:37:17We have a warning system similar to your primitive radar.
00:37:21Our machines are set to change course at the mere approach of a pursuing object.
00:37:30Let's say I do believe you.
00:37:32Where are we right now?
00:37:34In a cavern within the upper crust of the earth.
00:37:37How long have you been here?
00:37:40Since the beginning of your experiments in nuclear fission.
00:37:43What have you got to do with that?
00:37:46We are accumulating the energy released with each of your atomic explosions.
00:37:54One moment.
00:37:55One moment.
00:37:56Two moment.
00:38:24What was that?
00:38:25A report from the monitor we sent to the surface to obtain the results of your last nuclear test.
00:38:32Results?
00:38:34They'll take days to analyze and compute.
00:38:37I think you will find the figures are correct.
00:38:47I can't believe it.
00:38:50Where is that man?
00:38:52You don't recognize the area.
00:38:54No.
00:38:58He is in the vicinity where you crashed.
00:39:06That rock was glowing.
00:39:10A normal reaction in view of the amount of radiation absorbed.
00:39:14You have a remarkable memory, Doctor.
00:39:17Considering the fact that you did not survive the crash.
00:39:21What do you mean?
00:39:22The mechanism of your heart had ceased to function.
00:39:27It was necessary for us to revive it.
00:39:30You were dead.
00:39:33I was dead?
00:39:36So that's what they were doing.
00:39:38You didn't even try to help the pilot.
00:39:41Why did you save me?
00:39:43Because we had an important need of your services.
00:39:48Such as?
00:39:48Look this way, Doctor.
00:39:58You will understand.
00:40:00You will understand.
00:40:00You are the first of your world to be looking at our solar system, the Astron.
00:40:13This is our planet, Astron Delta.
00:40:17It occupies the fourth position in relation to this, our sun.
00:40:29Yes, go on.
00:40:30During the twenty-third time rotation, our sun began to die.
00:40:38So during the succeeding generations, as our planet began to cool, vegetation began to disappear.
00:40:46Our eyes developed to this state, to combat the ever-growing darkness.
00:40:54We were forced to migrate.
00:40:57You left your planet?
00:40:59Where?
00:41:01We invaded these neighboring planets.
00:41:06They were nearer to our sun.
00:41:08You just moved in and took over?
00:41:26How many of us?
00:41:28All of us.
00:41:30Well over one billion.
00:41:33There were feeble attempts to stop us.
00:41:35But we were prepared for such contingencies.
00:41:40And now that our sun is about to completely expire,
00:41:43we must move again in order to survive.
00:41:49Yours is the only planet in this solar system capable of supporting our civilization.
00:41:56This is fantastic.
00:41:58Over a billion of you trying to come here to Earth.
00:42:02We have no alternative.
00:42:03We have been putting our plan to work for some time.
00:42:09At the proper moment, the invasion will be launched from our platforms,
00:42:13which are being readied in space.
00:42:18Nothing can stop us.
00:42:20Insane.
00:42:38This is ridiculous.
00:42:39You cannot find your way in or out of this cavern.
00:42:43Do not try to leave.
00:42:44What do you want?
00:42:46Well, let's go.
00:42:46Let's go!
00:42:46The End
00:43:16The End
00:43:46The End
00:44:16The End
00:44:46The End
00:45:16The End
00:45:46The End
00:46:16The End
00:46:46The End
00:47:16The End
00:47:46The End
00:48:16So, you have discovered our menagerie. Don't you think you will be more at ease on this side of the cage?
00:48:27It's horrible. What are you doing here?
00:48:37We are breeding our...
00:48:39We are breeding our... shall I say... armies?
00:48:44Those carnivorous insects and animals?
00:48:48What are you doing?
00:48:49What are you doing?
00:48:50What are you doing?
00:48:51What are you doing?
00:48:52Their growth is due to a change in their genes?
00:48:55What are you doing?
00:48:56What are you doing?
00:48:57What are you doing?
00:48:58What are you doing?
00:48:59What are you doing?
00:49:00I am doing?
00:49:02What are you doing?
00:49:03we will unleash them they will spread to every continent and devour every living
00:49:10thing on the surface of the earth what good will that do you how could you
00:49:14expect to survive better than we we have provided for that
00:49:21no doctor look over there
00:49:40you will use their bodies to fertilize the soil vegetation will rise up in
00:49:46abundance a new era of civilization will begin
00:49:52gamma rays you see doctor we have arranged for everything wait a minute all
00:50:11this equipment our nuclear storage units to date we have accumulated several
00:50:17billion electron volts as a result of your atomic explosions several billion I have a
00:50:24chain reaction at this point could release enough unstable isotopes to to create a
00:50:29new and powerful element might be impossible to control true an element
00:50:35that will never be known by your scientists I can assure you the strength
00:50:40so this new element will this is a powder cake could go up at any minute I assure
00:50:45you doctor we have everything under our complete control what force could
00:50:52possibly be strong enough to harness that you control your whole operation by
00:50:59electricity of course no generators no generators that means you're getting
00:51:05your power from somewhere on the surface it must be passing through here you have
00:51:08heard enough dr. Martin step inside all right what do you want from me you will have
00:51:17access to advance information relative to the time and strength of the forthcoming atomic
00:51:23tests what about it you will provide us with that information as soon as it is available
00:51:30you're afraid of an overload you can't tap enough electricity wherever you get it from the control
00:51:45a strong enough charge you are a clever man doctor perhaps too clever and what makes you think I'll give
00:51:53you any information it is the only way you can save your own life when the time comes you will be
00:52:00transported to one of our platforms in space and resettled here when our operation is completed
00:52:06you're asking me to sabotage the entire world three billion people they are doomed in any case
00:52:13yeah I guess there's no alternative I'll have to do as you say
00:52:21you are lying doctor your only wish is to betray us no I know your thoughts have been recorded
00:52:34lie detector call it what you like you force me to resort to other methods I will contact our space
00:52:44station you are an unwilling subject dr. Martin what who are you
00:52:53I am the top you will listen and obey
00:53:00no I you will listen to my orders and obey you will listen and obey listen and obey
00:53:16you will remember nothing you have seen or heard here nothing but my orders which you will obey yes
00:53:27you will obtain the data and bring it to the stone near the place where your plane was wrecked
00:53:36what to the stone what have you seen or heard here nothing repeat my orders I will obtain the data and bring it to the stone
00:54:01you know that's what I did I took the information to where they told me I didn't realize I was being mesmerized
00:54:17why didn't somebody say something don't you believe me
00:54:31Kurt you understand
00:54:33these giant animals breeding by the millions they'll devour everything unless we stop them
00:54:39of course Doug we will colonel colonel you've got to arrange to set off another bomb tonight the
00:54:45strongest charge we have they're beneath the ground with all their equipment we can blow them to
00:54:49pieces now wait a minute a strong charge will overload their units
00:54:52you don't believe me colonel
00:54:57you don't believe me
00:55:00major
00:55:04of course we do easy Doug easy you think I'm crazy all of you well I'm not do you
00:55:11understand everything I said is true I saw it with my own eyes give me a hand
00:55:14now let me go let me go steady steady steady take it easy now take it easy we'll talk this whole thing over
00:55:21what are you doing to me now you just rest quietly
00:55:28Mrs. Martin should be along any minute now she went for their car what'll I tell her well he's in a state of shock
00:55:50tell her he's resting quietly he'll excuse me I think I'd better wait for at the information desk
00:55:57excuse me I think I'd better wait for at the information desk
00:56:01well dr. Martin seems to be indestructible except for those hallucinations those weren't hallucinations colonel under the influence of sodium amytol a patient loses all control of his imagination
00:56:08under 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 that'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 as for the rest you'll have to decide for yourself
00:56:29excuse me please
00:56:42your official voice
00:56:58yes
00:57:02Good evening, Dr. Kroger.
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.
00:57:27Mm-hmm.
00:57:30I want to believe, Doug.
00:57:31Look, we'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?
00:57:40For 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?
00:58:05What else have you hearted?
00:58:07How's the car?
00:58:07Oh, my God.

00:58:27Oh, my God.
00:58:28Oh, my God.
00:58:29Oh.
00:58:30God, why isn't he?
00:58:32I'm glad that he's OK, buddy.
00:58:34There's nothing to worry about.
00:58:40Keep away from me.
00:58:42Keep away, I said.
00:58:44Doc.
00:58:44Let me go there 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.
00:58:56Hi.
00:58:58I want to see Kurt right away.
00:59:00Now, you control yourself.
00:59:02And 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.
00:59:23I've got to figure something out before he gets here.
00:59:26Need a pencil, some paper, and a slide rule.
00:59:30I'll see that you get it.
00:59:32Oh, can I have Dr. Kruger, please?
00:59:42Dr. 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.
00:59:58Doug.
01:00:03Doug.
01:00:12Doug.
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!
01:02:50Dr. Martin!
01:02:51Stop!
01:02:52Stop!
01:02:53He did what?
01:02:54How long ago?
01:02:55Right. We'll leave immediately.
01:02:56What's wrong, Colonel?
01:02:57Dr. Martin.
01:02:58He's on his way to the powerhouse, wants to cut off the power supply.
01:02:59Let's go!
01:03:00Oh, come on!
01:03:01How long ago?
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.
01:03:31Come on!
01:04:01Hey, don't work it!
01:04:31Hey, don't work it!
01:05:01Okay, you run up the stairs, I'll look here.
01:05:31There's his car!
01:05:33Come on, hurry!
01:05:37He isn't back there!
01:05:39Let's go!
01:05:43Where's the driver of this car?
01:05:45He went into the building.
01:05:49He went into the building.
01:05:51Yes!
01:05:52Yes!
01:05:53Yes!
01:05:54Yes!
01:05:55Let's go.
01:06:02Where's the driver of this car?
01:06:04He went into the building.
01:06:25Listen, I can't hold you.
01:06:43You'd better take the stairs.
01:06:55Let's go.
01:07:13What do you want?
01:07:14Where are the main switches?
01:07:15What's the matter with you?
01:07:16Are you sleepwalking or something, mister?
01:07:18Where are the switches that control the toll of that flat area?
01:07:20I said, where are they?
01:07:23This way.
01:07:34Throw room.
01:07:36Yeah.
01:07:46Come on, show me those switches.
01:07:47Come on.
01:07:48All right.
01:07:49Cut that power.
01:07:52Now look, mister.
01:07:53Be 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.
01:08:11Do as I say.
01:08:15Here it is.
01:08:19Come on.
01:08:22Stay where you are.
01:08:25Put down that gun, Dr. Mutt.
01:08:27I'm warning you, Colonel.
01:08:29Come any closer and I'll kill him.
01:08:31Now the next one.
01:08:36What's this one?
01:08:37That's the master switch.
01:08:39Cut it.
01:08:40Doug, please, don't.
01:08:42I said cut it.
01:08:43Get back or I'll kill him.
01:08:44Go on.
01:08:45Get back.
01:08:46Go on.
01:08:47Get 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.
01:08:59If I'm right.
01:09:04Now.
01:09:06One.
01:09:07Two.
01:09:09Three.
01:09:10Four.
01:09:12Five.
01:09:13Six.
01:09:14Seven.
01:09:16Eight.
01:09:20Over here.
01:09:29Ten.
01:09:30Eight.
01:09:31One.
01:09:33It's been up.
01:09:34Two.
01:09:36Two.
01:09:37Five.
01:09:38Six.
01:09:39Four.
01:09:41Ten.
01:09:43Two.
01:09:48Five.
01:09:50Two.
01:09:51Eight.
01:09:52Six.
01:09:53Eight.
01:09:55Eight.
