- 0:04 Soledad Platz, Nevada. The time, 6:15 a.m.
- 0:09 The climax of arduous planning. Operation A-bomb test underway. Detonation minus two minutes.
- 0:28 Military personnel, from buck private to top-ranking brass. Men from research and new services move
- 0:39 its initial run. Radar with eyes that never sleep. Special equipment go into operation.
- 0:51 All orders are carried out with split-second precision.
- 0:57 Warning is given to all commercial aircraft to stay out of the test area.
- 1:03 Detonation minus...
- 1:04 70 seconds.
- 1:05 The aliens take to the air, carrying sensitive instruments and nuclear scientists, ready to record the radioactivity from the closest possible vantage point.
- 1:18 Detonation minus 40 seconds.
- 1:21 The bomb-carrying plane nears the target. Tension mounts as all members of the flight crew anticipate the task, to pinpoint the bomb on a tiny circle of Earth below.
- 1:35 Ground Zero. Warning signal is sounded. All observers prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb. Detonation minus 20 seconds. Command of the plane is given to the bombardier. Ground Zero dead ahead. The key man now goes into action. Bomb bay door is open.
- 2:05 Ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero.
- 2:22 And this is the beginning.
- 2:35 You can make the position report now. Have the figures ready.
- 3:05 Control from Tar Baby 2. Over. Go ahead, Tar Baby 2. We're circling ground zero at radius of 7.5 miles. Altitude 1, 5, 0, 0, 0 feet. Airspeed 4, 0, 0, 0.
- 3:26 Stand by. Roger and over. She's all yours. This is Dr. Martin. Here are the readings.
- 3:36 Point 378 negative.
- 3:39 Second indicator.
- 3:40 1.08 negative.
575 more segments
- 3:44 Radiation point four.
- 3:46 Over.
- 3:47 Roger, proceed according to plan. We'll go enough.
- 3:58 Take her in closer. Okay, Dr. Martin.
- 4:14 We'll have to keep at least two miles from the center of the column.
- 4:17 Radiation was too strong.
- 4:22 What's that thing shining below?
- 4:28 Looks like a fireball. Better check.
- 4:37 Dr. Martin. Dr. Martin, we're in trouble.
- 4:42 Pull out. Pull out!
- 4:47 Get in!
- 4:56 It's a frozen, frozen!
- 5:10 Tar-baby 2 from base.
- 5:12 Come in, Tar Baby 2.
- 5:18 Come in, Tar Baby 2.
- 5:24 We've lost contact, sir.
- 5:26 Baker, too, sir.
- 5:28 Yes, sir.
- 5:30 All patrol craft in test area, this is a mayday. Repeat, this is a mayday. Proceed to segment Baker 1-7. Search for Tar Baby 2.
- 5:49 Control from Tar Baby 7. Wreckage sighted southwest corner Soledad Flats. Ship appears completely demolished.
- 5:57 No sign of survivors. Over. Roger, Tarababy 7.
- 6:03 Circle wreckage at 1-0-0-0 feet until arrival of helicopter rescue unit.
- 6:34 Dr. Kruger.
- 6:36 Colonel Banks speaking. Would you mind coming into my office right away, please?
- 6:42 I'm going to go.
- 6:45 As I was saying...
- 6:47 Amen.
- 6:48 Our search planes found the wreckage of your husband's plane, Mrs. Martin.
- 6:52 A rescue crew was sent out, but...
- 6:54 But they must have breached the wreckage hours ago.
- 6:57 Why can't they find you?
- 6:59 I honestly don't know, Mrs. Martin. Yes, come in.
- 7:05 - Ellen. - Kurt.
- 7:08 Come on.
- 7:11 Isn't there any hope?
- 7:15 I'm afraid not, Mrs. Martin. They found the pilot dead in the wreckage.
- 7:20 And according to all reports, no one could have bailed out.
- 7:23 I'm terribly sorry. What?
- 7:28 Yes.
- 7:29 Dr. Martin, are you all right? I am, yes.
- 7:59 Martin.
- 8:00 Call the base hospital.
- 8:01 Come on, Doctor. Come on.
- 8:05 All right, look up to your right.
- 8:08 And now look over to your left.
- 8:12 All right, you get up now.
- 8:29 Everything seems all right.
- 8:30 Except can't you recall anything that happened from the time your plane crashed until...
- 8:37 I remember the controls froze. The next thing I saw was the main gate of the base. Your plane was completely demolished, the pilot burned to death, and you show off the picture of health. Are you sure you weren't driven here? Positive. You don't remember where you got this. You know, your medical chart shows no indication of any scars in your body.
- 8:56 I must have got it in a crash.
- 8:58 All right.
- 9:00 Now, this was surgery. A very skillful incision.
- 9:06 I've never had an operation. That's what I don't understand.
- 9:18 Mr. Briggs.
- 9:22 Mr. Briggs.
- 9:23 Colonel Beck. How are you, Mr. Briggs?
- 9:26 Fine, how are you? Fine. I see the FBI doesn't waste much time. Well, not if we can help it, Colonel. Oh, you know our base surgeon, Major Clift? Sure. How have you been, Major? How do you do? Well, I guess you gentlemen have business to discuss. Oh, no, no. This won't take a minute. Sit down. Sit down, please, please, gentlemen. Cigarette.
- 9:47 I understand you've already talked with Dr. Martin. I just left him.
- 9:52 No.
- 9:54 Uh, Colonel, um...
- 9:55 According to my files, Dr. Martin is just about the key man on this nuclear project.
- 10:00 Yes, along with Dr. Kruger, he is. Well, I know they're both good friends, and...
- 10:06 Well, both have knowledge and access to top secret information.
- 10:09 Well, that's very true, but there's no reason to suspect that they-- Oh, we can, uh, we can suspect anything, Colonel. Until Dr. Martin accounts for every minute from the time of the crash.
- 10:19 The shock must have caused a mental block.
- 10:22 His mind doesn't want to remember the details.
- 10:25 the origin of the scar on his chest, how he got back to the base under his own power. Did you ever stop to think that perhaps this Dr. Martin
- 10:35 Isn't Rayleigh the Dr. Martin? What are you getting at?
- 10:40 What I mean is that, uh...
- 10:43 This man could be an imposter.
- 11:07 Rick speaking. Oh, oh, that did come through, huh?
- 11:12 They do checks.
- 11:26 Get me Colonel Banks in the base, please. No, no, I'll wait.
- 11:29 Oh, yes, Mr. Briggs. Any news on the line you were getting on Dr. Martin?
- 11:35 Just heard from Washington.
- 11:37 Well, I was wrong. This is our man, all right. His prints and description check right down the line.
- 11:42 Now,
- 11:43 Here's what I suggest you do.
- 11:49 But you see an excellent physical condition, yet you're keeping him in the base hospital.
- 11:53 - Why? - Mrs. Martin, you must realize that your husband is engaged in a highly secret work. If this experience had...
- 12:00 It well affected his mind
- 12:03 Are you trying to tell me that Doug is...
- 12:05 No, no, no. It's nothing serious, Mrs. Martin.
- 12:08 His reflexes are excellent.
- 12:11 Except for that one lapse of memory, his mind is perfectly clear.
- 12:15 Isn't that natural under the circumstances?
- 12:18 Yes.
- 12:20 Except for the question of the scar on his chest.
- 12:23 I know he didn't have it before the crash. I'm sure he didn't, Mrs. Martin.
- 12:27 But you see, it would be impossible for a wound of this size to have healed so quickly and without medical attention.
- 12:33 You can't keep him here indefinitely.
- 12:36 We don't intend to.
- 12:37 We...
- 12:38 Asked you to come down here because we've decided to let you take him home. Provided you can keep him quiet and he gets in the press. I understand. I understand.
- 12:45 Now we'll just have to take that vacation he's been wanting for so long. Vacation?
- 12:49 To watch him, you'd think you'd never heard of one.
- 12:51 Yes, he must have asked me a hundred times when the next test was scheduled.
- 12:55 He's anxious to take his own readings again.
- 12:57 Well, he did have a key part in the planning of these projects.
- 13:01 Was there anything he should or shouldn't be allowed to do?
- 13:05 No.
- 13:07 except
- 13:08 He does need diversion.
- 13:12 Anything that won't upset her excited.
- 13:14 I see.
- 13:15 Movies, bridge, drive, things like that.
- 13:18 Well, you're the doctor now.
- 13:21 to see that he gets plenty of rest.
- 13:24 Goodbye, Colonel. Goodbye.
- 13:26 See you later, Major.
- 13:29 Hmm?
- 13:44 Doug, what's the matter? I can't sleep.
- 14:01 What time is it? Well, after three.
- 14:06 I'll go get myself a glass of milk.
- 14:31 Get me squadron operation.
- 14:35 Duty desk, please.
- 14:40 Helen, what did you get up for?
- 14:46 This is Dr. Martin calling. Who is this speaking? Sergeant Bandero. Anything I can do for you, Doctor? I wondered if there were any last-minute orders on another atomic test. What do you mean you can't tell me? Sorry, sir. Regulations. I can't give out information to anyone.
- 15:05 No, sir. It won't do you any good to come down. All right. We'll see about that.
- 15:18 I'm going to get out to the base right away. Alan, don't you agree with me? I've spent months preparing for this series of tests, and no sergeant is going to push me around now.
- 15:29 - Well, aren't you gonna say anything? - No.
- 15:32 Look, I know they're ready for another test, and I should be there.
- 15:35 Can't you understand they don't want you around for your own good?
- 15:38 I don't need their sympathy. There's nothing wrong with me.
- 15:40 Then why are you acting this? Were you all on edge?
- 15:43 If you don't slow down, I don't know what's going to happen.
- 15:46 You really believe that, don't you?
- 15:49 Of Dad.
- 15:52 If you won't take it easy for your own sake, please.
- 15:56 Do it for mine.
- 16:16 Hey.
- 16:22 Hey, time to get up.
- 16:24 Go away. All right, stay in bed all day. It's almost 11 o'clock. Would you say?
- 16:31 Said it was almost 11 o'clock.
- 16:33 It is? Mm-hmm. Mm. You go put the coffee on while I get dressed.
- 16:39 I'm sorry.
- 16:48 I'm going to go.
- 17:11 I don't care what you say. You had no right to go ahead without me.
- 17:15 A new recurrence.
- 17:15 You didn't tell me either.
- 17:17 - Why? - Orders, Doug. Orders? Nonsense. The least it could have been done would have been to let me know. I'm fine. I could have done my work.
- 17:24 I hate to say this, Dr. Martin, but in your present state, you're not considered a very good security risk.
- 17:29 Me, security risk, my present state.
- 17:31 What's the matter with me?
- 17:32 How long am I to be considered? Only temporarily. The results of the test will be available for your study when you return to work.
- 17:38 I am ready, Colonel.
- 17:40 To us, you're still a very sick man.
- 17:42 My advice to you is to go home and relax as you were ordered. Relax, relax.
- 17:47 And if I don't?
- 17:49 Then you'll be confined to the base hospital if you change your mind.
- 17:52 Now what's it gonna be?
- 17:54 I'm going to go.
- 17:59 Well, Doctor?
- 18:03 Oh, Dr. Martin.
- 18:05 I didn't expect you back so soon.
- 18:07 Haven't you heard? I'm a metal king. Can't even be trusted with my own work.
- 18:12 I'm going to go berserk at any minute.
- 18:14 Colonel Banks will fill you in on the details.
- 18:17 Don't tell me. Let me see. You're...
- 18:20 I know, I know. You're Miss, uh, Vincent, the secretary I share with, uh... Oh, Doctor, you can't be serious. Uh, there was no one in your office, so I thought you wouldn't mind... Oh, that's all right. It's all right.
- 18:30 As far as I'm concerned, you can take the rest of the day off.
- 18:33 Are you sure? - Mm-hmm. Oh, I don't really belong here. I just, uh...
- 18:36 came in to pick up a few personal things from my desk.
- 19:09 I'm going to go.
- 20:16 Come on.
- 20:22 Come on.
- 20:30 Come on.
- 20:34 Come on.
- 20:40 I'm sorry.
- 21:40 Come on.
- 22:30 Main gate, main gate, please.
- 22:36 Just a minute, doctor.
- 23:27 Evening, Dr. Kruger. Yes? My name's Briggs. I'm from the FBI. Briggs. Briggs. Of course. I've heard of you. I wonder if you'd mind returning to your office with me. What seems to be the trouble? Oh, just a few things we'd like to straighten out.
- 23:43 Well, I'm afraid so, Doctor. Take your own car, if you like. I'll meet you there. All right, I will.
- 23:58 The papers seem to be intact.
- 24:00 Is this all, uh...
- 24:01 Classified information, doctor? Of course.
- 24:03 You know, according to security regulations, that vault should have been locked before you left.
- 24:07 But I'm certain I did like it.
- 24:09 All right, then tell me this.
- 24:11 Who besides yourself has access to the combination?
- 24:14 Well, the...
- 24:16 Colonel here and Dr. Mark...
- 24:18 Dr. Martin.
- 24:19 Huh? Just for...
- 24:21 He was in the building this afternoon. That's right. We saw him in my office. He left around 4 o'clock on orders. He dismissed the secretary a few minutes later, but he...
- 24:30 He didn't sign out of here till 20 minutes after you left. After I did.
- 24:34 Well, there must be some mistake. I personally checked his office just as I was leaving and he wasn't there.
- 24:39 You always do that, Doctor.
- 24:40 No, but dr. Martin has been acting a
- 24:43 Well,
- 24:45 Quite strange of late. Yes, he certainly has.
- 24:47 His wife telephoned to say that he hadn't come home as usual. I was very much concerned about it.
- 24:53 So am I.
- 24:54 He still hasn't shown up yet.
- 25:08 What kind of pipe tobacco do you use, Dr. Cooper?
- 25:10 Me?
- 25:12 Why, I don't smoke at all.
- 25:15 Mr. Colonel?
- 25:16 Cigarettes. What are you driving at?
- 25:21 That's funny.
- 25:22 Amen.
- 25:23 How long has Dr. Martin been using this brand of tobacco?
- 25:29 I really don't know why.
- 25:31 Now, Mrs. Martin, you say you have no idea where he could be at this hour.
- 25:35 Why, no, he's never been this late before without telephoning.
- 25:39 Well, I hate to ask this.
- 25:42 But have you ever had...
- 25:43 Any suspicion that there might be...
- 25:46 Another woman?
- 25:48 Certainly not.
- 25:50 I'm sorry, Mrs. Morton.
- 25:52 Just why are you asking me these questions? Well, let's put it this way.
- 25:56 Has he made any new friends lately?
- 25:58 You know, people not in the usual group.
- 26:02 No, the only people we've seen in months have been connected with the Institute.
- 26:05 Come on.
- 26:07 Excuse me.
- 26:10 Hello?

- 30:24 Object, Dr. Douglas Martin, last seen in Route 61, heading toward North Junction. Stopped at gas station corner of Ridgewood and Mills Road. Acknowledge. Roger. Briggs, out.
- 30:54 I'm going to go.
- 31:30 Right here. They're gonna...
- 31:33 Here they're here and here they're
- 31:37 Going to destroy us.
- 31:39 He's coming out of it.
- 31:43 It's all right, Dr. Martin. You're with friends. You'll be all right.
- 31:46 Let me go! Let me go! Steady now. Steady, Doc.
- 31:50 He'll kill everyone we've got to stop them! Easy, Doug, easy.
- 32:08 What did you give him?
- 32:11 So do you, man, at all.
- 32:13 truth serum
- 32:14 will deprive his mind of any imagination.
- 32:17 I guess you'll make sense now.
- 32:19 I'll get the recorder ready.
- 32:21 Come on.
- 32:24 Can you hear me, Dr. Martin?
- 32:27 Yes.
- 32:31 Now listen to me.
- 32:34 I want you to count backwards from 100. Do you understand?
- 32:39 backwards from 100.
- 32:41 One hundred.
- 32:47 Yes.
- 32:58 before.
- 32:59 Or you can ask him questions now.
- 33:03 Dr. Martin.
- 33:05 What were you doing with the information you took from Dr. Kruger's vault?
- 33:10 I was delivering it.
- 33:12 Delivering it.
- 33:13 But where?
- 33:16 To the rocks in Soledad Flats?
- 33:19 Yes.
- 33:21 Some of them flats.
- 33:23 Before we crashed.
- 33:26 I was delivering it.
- 33:27 Just as I was hoarded.
- 33:29 Who ordered you to do this, Dr. Martin?
- 33:33 I'll tell you the whole story.
- 33:37 I remember we were circling the atomic cloud.
- 33:42 There was an object...
- 33:44 Blowing?
- 33:46 Beneath this is Soledad Flats.
- 33:50 We were going down to investigate.
- 33:53 Controls jammed. Couldn't pull out.
- 34:03 When I regained consciousness, I was on a table.
- 34:10 Next thing I knew...
- 34:12 He was coming at me.
- 34:15 These people... their eyes...
- 34:20 Those horrible nights.
- 34:23 They didn't speak
- 34:26 I could see something
- 34:28 Strange and eerie.
- 34:31 pulsating in front of me.
- 34:33 Then one of them lowered it toward my chest.
- 34:38 It was my own heart.
- 34:53 What happened?
- 34:57 What is this place?
- 35:01 Who are you?
- 35:03 What are you doing to me? Can't you speak?
- 35:06 Who are you?
- 35:08 I'm sorry.
- 35:43 Step forward.
- 35:53 Dr. Martin, I see you are quite well.
- 35:56 You have recovered from your unfortunate accident. Who are you? A scientist like yourself. Where do you come from? From a planet.
- 36:08 yet unknown to you.
- 36:10 You know my name, you speak English. We speak every language. Can't expect me to believe that. I'm getting out of here. The day where you are.
- 36:41 Who are you?
- 36:42 I have already told you that.
- 36:45 How did you get here?
- 36:47 Come on.
- 36:51 Shh.
- 36:54 Here. In our machine, magnetically propelled across the electron bridge we have created.
- 37:01 Electron Bridge.
- 37:09 Action.
- 37:10 You mean you come and go, just like that?
- 37:12 Without anyone ever seeing you. Our ships have been sighted on numerous occasions by your people.
- 37:18 Then why haven't we been able to track one down?
- 37:21 We have a warning system similar to your primitive radar.
- 37:25 Our machines are set to change course at the mere approach of a pursuing object.
- 37:32 Let's say I do believe you.
- 37:34 Where are we right now?
- 37:36 In a cavern.
- 37:37 within the upper crust of the earth.
- 37:40 How long have you been here?
- 37:43 since the beginning of your experiments in nuclear fission.
- 37:47 What have you got to do with that?
- 37:49 We are accumulating the energy released with each of your atomic explosions.
- 37:56 One moment.
- 38:26 What was that?
- 38:27 A report.
- 38:29 from the monitor we sent to the surface to obtain the results of your last nuclear test.
- 38:35 Results?
- 38:36 They'll take days to analyze and compute.
- 38:40 I think you will find these figures are correct.
- 38:50 I can't believe it.
- 38:52 Where is that man? You don't recognize the area? No?
- 39:00 He is in the vicinity where you crashed. That rock was glowing. A normal reaction in view of the amount of radiation absorbed. You have a remarkable memory, Doctor, considering the fact that you did not survive the crash.
- 39:30 for us to revive it. You were dead.
- 39:35 I was dead.
- 39:39 So that's what they were doing. You didn't even try to help the pilot. Why did you save me? Because we had an important need of your services. Such as?
- 39:58 Look this way, Doctor.
- 40:00 You will understand.
- 40:10 Get up. You are the first of your world to be looking at our solar system.
- 40:15 The Astron.
- 40:17 This is our planet, Astron Delta.
- 40:24 It occupies the fourth position in relation to this, our son.
- 40:31 Yes, go on.
- 40:34 During the 23rd time rotation, our sun began to die. So during the succeeding generations, as our planet began to cool, vegetation began to disappear.
- 40:50 Our eyes develop to this state.
- 40:52 to combat the ever-growing darkness.
- 40:56 We were forced to migrate.
- 40:59 You left your planet?
- 41:01 Where?
- 41:02 We invaded these neighboring planets.
- 41:06 Yeah.
- 41:08 They were nearer to our sun.
- 41:27 You just moved in and took over? How many of them? All of us.
- 41:33 Well over one billion.
- 41:36 There were feeble attempts to stop us.
- 41:38 But we were prepared for such contingencies.
- 41:42 And now that our son is about to completely expire, we must move again in order to survive.
- 41:51 Yours is the only planet in this solar system capable of supporting our civilization.
- 41:58 This is fantastic.
- 42:00 Over a billion of you trying to come here to Earth.
- 42:04 We have no alternative.
- 42:06 We have been putting our plan to work for some time.
- 42:11 At the proper moment, the invasion will be launched
- 42:14 from our platforms which are being readied in space.
- 42:21 Nothing can stop us.
- 42:38 Insane.
- 42:39 This is ridiculous. You cannot find your way in or out of this cavern. Do not try to leave.
- 44:37 I'm sorry.
- 45:07 I'm going to go.
- 45:37 Oh, my God.
- 46:07 Come on.
- 46:37 Come on.
- 47:07 I'm sorry.
- 47:37 And...
- 48:22 So you have discovered our menagerie.
- 48:26 Don't you think you will be more at ease on this side of the cage?
- 48:38 It's horrible. What are you doing here?
- 48:42 We are breeding our...
- 48:44 Shall I say armies? Those carnivorous insects and animals?
- 48:52 Look at that! Their growth is due to a change in their genes. With your next nuclear test,
- 49:01 These animals will multiply at a rate beyond imagination.
- 49:06 When time comes, we will unleash them.
- 49:08 They will spread to every continent and devour every living thing on the surface of the earth.
- 49:15 What good will that do you?
- 49:17 How could you expect to survive better than we?
- 49:19 We have provided for that.
- 49:31 No doctor
- 49:34 Look over there.
- 49:44 We will use their bodies to fertilize the soil.
- 49:47 Hmm.
- 49:47 Vegetation will rise up in abundance.
- 49:51 a new era of civilization will begin.
- 49:54 Gamma rays?
- 49:59 You see, Doctor...
- 50:00 We have arranged for everything.
- 50:07 I'm going to go.
- 50:10 I'm going to go.
- 50:12 Wait a minute.
- 50:14 All this equipment?
- 50:16 Our nuclear storage units.
- 50:18 To date, we have accumulated several billion electron volts as a result of your atomic explosions. Several billion? A chain reaction at this point could release enough unstable isotopes to...
- 50:31 To create a new and powerful element.
- 50:33 Might be impossible to control.
- 50:35 True.
- 50:37 An elephant that will never be known by your scientists.
- 50:41 I can assure you the strength of this new element will-- This is a powdered cake. It could go off at any minute.
- 50:47 I assure you, Doctor...
- 50:49 We have everything under our complete control.
- 50:54 What force could possibly be strong enough to harness the...
- 51:00 You control your whole operation by electricity.
- 51:03 Of course, no generators, no generators.
- 51:07 That means you're getting your power from somewhere on the surface. It must be passing through here. You have heard enough, Dr. Martin.
- 51:13 Step inside.
- 51:15 All right.
- 51:16 What do you want from me? You will have access to advanced information... ...relative to the time and strength of the forthcoming atomic tests. What about it? You will provide us with that information as soon as it is available.
- 51:34 I see.
- 51:41 You're afraid of an overload.
- 51:43 You can't tap enough electricity wherever you get it from to control a... strong enough charge. You are a clever man, Doctor.
- 51:53 Perhaps too clever. And what makes you think I'll give you any information? It is the only way you can save your own life when the time comes. You will be transported to one of our platforms in space and resettled here when our operation is completed. You're asking me to sabotage the entire world, three billion people.
- 52:14 They are doomed in any case.
- 52:18 Well, I guess there's no alternative. I'll have to do as you say.
- 52:27 You are lying, Doctor. Your only wish is to betray us. No.
- 52:31 I know.
- 52:34 Your thoughts have been recorded.
- 52:37 - Lie detective? - Call it what you like. You force me to resort to other methods. I will contact our space station. You are an unwilling subject, Dr. Martin.
- 52:53 What? Who are you?
- 52:58 I am Vitara. You will listen and obey.
- 53:05 No, I... You will listen to my orders and obey me. You will listen and obey.
- 53:16 Listen and obey.
- 53:20 You will remember nothing you have seen or heard here. Nothing but my orders which you will obey. Yes.
- 53:33 You will obtain the daughter and bring it to the stone near the place where your flame was wrecked.
- 53:41 To the stone.
- 53:44 What have you seen or heard here? Here.
- 53:47 What have you seen or heard here? Nothing. Repeat my orders. I will obtain the data and bring it to the stone. Yes.
- 54:13 Well, that's what I did. I took the information to where they told me.
- 54:17 I didn't realize I was being mesmerized.
- 54:22 I'm going to go.
- 54:25 I'm going to go.
- 54:31 Why didn't somebody say something?
- 54:33 Don't you believe me?
- 54:35 Kurt, you understand?
- 54:39 These giant animals breeding by the millions, they'll devour everything unless we stop them. Of course, Doug, we will.
- 54:45 Colonel.
- 54:46 Colonel, you've got to arrange to set off another bomb tonight. The strongest charge we have. They're beneath the ground with all their equipment. We can blow them to pieces. Now, wait a minute. A strong charge will overload their units.
- 54:59 Don't believe me, Colonel?
- 55:02 I do?
- 55:07 Kurt. Of course we do. Easy, Doug. Easy.
- 55:11 You think I'm crazy? All of you...
- 55:13 Well, I'm not, do you understand? Everything I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. Give me your hand, Doctor. Now let me go!
- 55:19 Let me go! Steady, steady, steady. Take it easy now. Take it easy.
- 55:23 We'll talk the tall thing over.
- 55:28 What are you doing to me now? Just rest quietly.
- 55:33 That's it.
- 55:49 Mrs. Martin should be along any minute now. She went for their car.
- 55:53 What'll I tell her?
- 55:55 Well, he's in a state of shock.
- 55:58 Tell her he's resting quietly.
- 56:00 Excuse me. I think I'd better wait for it at the information desk.
- 56:04 Well, Dr. Martin seems to be indestructible, except for those hallucinations. Those weren't hallucinations, Colonel.
- 56:11 Under the influence of sodium amytol, a patient loses all control of his imagination.
- 56:16 Well...
- 56:17 Then he shouldn't be able to fabricate those stories. That's right. Major, you're not trying to tell us that everything he said was true.
- 56:25 Come on.
- 56:25 Look, gentlemen...
- 56:27 I can only give you the medical facts.
- 56:30 As for the rest, you'll have to decide for yourself. Excuse me, please.
- 56:44 I'm going to go.
- 57:14 Good evening, Dr. Kruger.
- 57:17 Chilly, isn't it?
- 57:18 Oh.
- 57:19 Mr. Briggs, you startled me. I...
- 57:22 Didn't expect to see anyone here.
- 57:24 Well, neither did I, Doctor.
- 57:26 Well, I...
- 57:27 Suppose you want me to explain why I'm here.
- 57:30 Mm-hmm.
- 57:32 I want to believe Doug.
- 57:34 We've worked together a long time.
- 57:36 Anyway, I just had to come out here and check for myself.
- 57:40 Check what, Doctor?
- 57:42 for an entrance or an exit to the caverns he described.
- 57:49 See, we've already covered the entire area.
- 57:52 We couldn't find a thing.
- 57:54 then
- 57:55 What about that scar?
- 57:57 I'd like to see you disprove that.
- 58:00 Oh, Mrs. Martin.
- 58:02 How is he, Doctor? Oh, he's resting fine. I think he'll be all right.
- 58:07 How's the car?
- 58:37 There's nothing to worry about. Keep away from me. Keep away, I said! Doctor! Let me go. They're after me. Nobody's asking a doctor Martin. Keep away! Doctor, he's trying to help you. I don't need the help.
- 58:53 Yes.
- 58:56 Hi.
- 59:01 I want to see Kurt.
- 59:02 Right away. Now, you control yourself.
- 59:04 And I'll call him just as soon as you get back to your room.
- 59:09 I'm going to go.
- 59:16 Now, you get back into bed and I'll call Dr. Kruger.
- 59:25 I've got to figure something out before he gets here.
- 59:28 Anita.
- 59:29 pencil some paper and I'm
- 59:31 Slide, Ruth.
- 59:32 I see that you get it.
- 59:34 Oh, can I have Dr. Kruger, please?
- 59:44 Dr. Kruger speaking.
- 59:47 Oh, yes, Major. How is he?
- 59:51 All right, I'll be over in a few minutes.
- 59:54 Come on.
- 1:00:01 Doug's.
- 1:00:05 Jack!
- 1:00:06 Come on.
- 1:00:11 Come on.
- 1:00:15 Doug.
- 1:00:16 Come on.
- 1:00:23 Come on.
- 1:00:37 Kurt!
- 1:00:38 Helen, I got here as soon as I could. Is there anything wrong? He's much better.
- 1:00:42 Imagine he's even started working. He asked for paper and a slide rule.
- 1:00:46 That's interesting.
- 1:00:48 Wonder what he's up to.
- 1:00:50 formulas, equations. Anyway,
- 1:00:53 Whatever he says, pretend to agree with him.
- 1:00:55 - Major Cliff's orders. - Of course.
- 1:01:01 - Yeah. - That Kurt's here. - Hello, Doug. - Just a second. I'm almost finished.
- 1:01:06 I'll take your hat. Thank you.
- 1:01:09 I'm sorry.
- 1:01:11 Kurt?
- 1:01:12 Let's face it.
- 1:01:13 I know that you all think there's...
- 1:01:16 Something wrong with me? No, of course not.
- 1:01:18 No, I wouldn't blame you after the story I told last night. Well, frankly, you did have us a little worried... asking that the bomb be dropped because of what you said.
- 1:01:26 You don't believe me, then.
- 1:01:28 Kurt, I tell you, I've been there. I've seen what they're doing. Breeding animals into carnivorous monsters. But I don't need a bomb to stop them. I've figured it out. It's all here.
- 1:01:37 Now look.
- 1:01:39 Here's the nuclear strength of our last test.
- 1:01:43 And this is the amount of electricity needed to control it.
- 1:01:45 We see that I had to estimate the conversion rates of their transformers
- 1:01:50 These figures are correct. Such transformers must operate on a constant supply of electricity.
- 1:01:55 Where could they get that much electric power? Only one way. They must tap it from the main lines of the powerhouse.
- 1:02:01 Could do it by parallel induction. Nobody would ever know the difference.
- 1:02:05 All we have to do is to cut it off.
- 1:02:07 Cut off the power. We can't do that. It would cause untold damage for miles around. Such a power stoppage must be planned in advance.
- 1:02:15 Eight to ten seconds, that's all I need.
- 1:02:18 That gap in supply will short out their resistors and the whole thing will go up.
- 1:02:21 But you won't go along with that. No, no, not you. Doug, get back in bed. What's that car, Jesus? Now, look, you're carrying this out of my way. Doug!
- 1:02:40 Please call the main gate and try to stop Dr. Martin.
- 1:02:49 Doug took the car. Hurry!
- 1:02:51 He did what how long ago right we'll leave immediately what's wrong Harold dr. Martin he's on his way to the powerhouse wants to cut off the power supply let's go.
- 1:03:21 I couldn't stop him, Doctor. He went that way.
- 1:03:51 Hey, don't park him!
- 1:04:51 Okay, you run up the stairs. I'll look here.
- 1:05:21 There's his car. Come on, hurry.
- 1:05:51 He isn't back there. Let's go.
- 1:06:04 Where's the driver in this car? He went into the building.
- 1:06:21 I'm going to go.
- 1:07:15 What do you want? Where are the main switches?
- 1:07:17 What's the matter with you? You sleepwalking or something, mister? Where are the switches that control the toll of that plastic area? Listen, where are they?
- 1:07:26 This way.
- 1:07:31 Hold on.
- 1:07:35 Control room? Yeah.
- 1:07:47 Come on, show me those switches. Come on. All right.
- 1:07:50 Cut that power. Now look, mister, be reasonable. I said cut it.
- 1:08:02 Now the next one.
- 1:08:08 Next. Go on. That'll turn the power off for a hundred miles. Do as I say.
- 1:08:16 Here it is.
- 1:08:23 Stay where you are.
- 1:08:26 Put down that gun, Dr. Mutt. Come on.
- 1:08:28 I'm warning you, Colonel. Come any closer and I'll kill him. Now the next one.
- 1:08:37 What's this one? That's the master switch. Cut it. Doug, please don't. I said cut it. Get back or I'll kill him. Go on, get back. Go on, get back. Do as he says.
- 1:08:58 If I'm insane, nothing will happen and you can do what you want with me. But if I'm right...
- 1:09:05 Now. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
- 1:09:13 Five six seven eight
- 1:09:22 Over here
- 1:09:34 So let that flats right the button
- 1:09:39 Just as he said
- 1:09:43 He blew them to pieces.
