Speaker 1: Thousand chickens and pigs by my wife and I goase
you pump your own water and plow and get blisters
on your hands. I don't mind.
Speaker 2: Blisters, James, do you think?
Speaker 3: Of course?
Speaker 1: Sure? And you can have a human name, not a
name with a number. I'm Bob, Bob Thamas. All right, Bob,
what do we do now? We've got your escape from
the city all planned? We go back.
Speaker 4: Who's there?
Speaker 5: Mine, holy electronic man, go go by to mine.
Speaker 4: Police, use the lazo signal.
Speaker 1: Let me see you all a less trying to disrupt
the tears open for inspection, open move aby causing difficulty. Well,
now that's just anonymous free movement.
Speaker 5: Sure, so take it down.
Speaker 1: What you about as that?
Speaker 5: That is fact three?
Speaker 1: You gone two or three?
Speaker 6: Investigate other apartments. I will say, this apartment under protection.
Other apartments we go, I will.
Speaker 1: Answer, can you serve the device again? Wom you know?
Bomb has been giving the electronic.
Speaker 5: Tell So these are our two friends.
Speaker 1: Ray, Johnny two twelve, Gain one six meet Ralph nine eight. Hello,
very much of human beings, and you don't look those
of rides. They go to your thin mask and voice
factor outout one of the best our toppy in next city, Bob,
Who've gotta work fast before the electronics can get back? Bob,
simple bad. I think Morton's experiments for the Master Mechanical
Brain are succeeding. What experiments? For years, Morton's been working
to produce electronic men that can make other electronic matters.
Speaker 4: But why why? Because the Master.
Speaker 1: Mechanical Brain can control electronic men absolutely human free fell
like you two, if you had children, a little rebel
zed be The Master Mechanical Brain had denied marriage permits
to everybody except read adjusted humans who might just as
well be machined. No marriages, no human children, electronic men
that can reproduce their kind, and FINGO complete machine civilization
with the Master as ruler. And once the experiments are
a death, let's expressed, the Master will liquidate the humans.
Oh No'm just I read of such things. But but
but centuries ago, Bob. Let's get them out of right,
let's o mine electronic metal back because now they'll readjective
for thought. Oh what do we do? Come? We get
the metal head mass and the boys up to.
Speaker 7: There, not because they find out I'm human.
Speaker 1: God electronic man in there? Did they come back Johnny,
I'm striking, Bob Boy. You said you had an escape.
I had the first draft. This is for you, Bob.
Speaker 4: Bob, you stuck your friend. It was a well betray.
Speaker 1: Open the door, Johnny, rush the electronic mask.
Speaker 2: It will be expected, all right, Johnny last, they've both
had a commission.
Speaker 4: You want to come out for the emergency shooting.
Speaker 1: Oh, the steward sure haven't been used since the Adam wore.
They were used as bomb shoulders, flying with less for
protection against ucun pinetration. Now even the massive electronic standard
transpirement like the movie so Well, County Crick never thought
he would do that. He didn't, But you've said of
shouted he be traded so the electronic men would hear
him one believing he was one of them, knocked out
by those vicious renegades. That's right for Renis.
Speaker 4: Now why bother the food electronics moons by Rops coupled us.
Speaker 1: He's needed in the next city, Ralph, we have never
known about Morton's experiment for the master mechanical brain. And
you really think if Morton gets the electronic men that
could produce others, you'll kill off all the humans, all
but the few that Morgan will spare for his own
aides and desires. It's the logical things. Master mechanical brain
is supremely logical. We'll have subjects at his absolute command.
The electronic men that act going on. I proval The
Master sends out alact with machine like logic. It won't
fall in love disrupt any important's plan for a perfect
machine's sake because of the tunnel. Ever end soon.
Speaker 4: The mort time, Doc.
Speaker 2: All right, I guess unduck too quick. There's a light
ahead the end of the ton of tight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, set the start. They're more beautiful than the fisture.
Speaker 1: You don't see them under make cities dogs? What's that?
Speaker 2: How do you smell?
Speaker 1: They caught an ancient jug Johnny? The fresh air? Hey,
I like it? How do you make it? Johnny? That's
real air, fresh air as nature makes. Huh.
Speaker 2: And and this is real grass, not something.
Speaker 4: And there's noises but a cor cricket.
Speaker 1: Frogs, nightbirds, a whole new world. Matter of fact, it's
a very old one. They just looking at these tapes.
Speaker 4: Oh they're they're cold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they left mess masters scanners can't take him up
and trace it and have a blast ray cut us down. Johnny,
I'm scared. You can still turn back. I can say
I kidnap you go back to your next city.
Speaker 4: No pray, Johnny gons I go you sure, yeah.
Speaker 1: Can follow me? Not only about ten minutes loss of
the cave where I have a jet.
Speaker 2: Cary will take my farm.
Speaker 1: I'm so tired. Well now it will be a sweep
and a set of bet real set of bet. I man, John,
how do you like something in water? Is that like
I got my first bliz? This is wonderful.
Speaker 2: I just can't get over there, the realness of things.
Your wife served me some milk, real milk this Morning's
a very remarkable woman.
Speaker 1: Bottle there, she tells me, makes me. It's a stranger
making it this home. If he's a pioneer woman in
country's chin up yesterday, time off. I've been having market cooked.
Speaker 3: Just imagine, John, if she actually cooked this. Kittens and
and just those men want to eat what I cook.
Tell him come and get us and tell that young
man of yours to bring that water in if he's
gonna wash up therect.
Speaker 1: How do you like that? I get my hands dirty
pumping water, Judge, so I can wash in the water
I pumped we're copping my bed. That a meal, the
wonder we raised all our own food meal food, Johnny,
Notton's I raised that bacon. From his shouts, you're far
too fas the animals. They'd better be with six miles
to be there by some four kids, three boys and
a girl. Believe me, for growing kids can eat?
Speaker 3: Where are they away?
Speaker 1: My always sends them away when I go to mex City.
He's got a notion. Those trips are dangerous.
Speaker 3: They are the master mechanical brain, and Morton don't like
you snatching their humans.
Speaker 4: Someday.
Speaker 1: It isn't nonsense. You took a big chance for it.
Speaker 3: Why risk of his happiness just for people like us,
people you don't even know, because he feels you're worth it.
I think you are too, And I'm for Bob and
all the people he can help. But I'm still freed.
Speaker 1: So you send the kids to safety and let him
go in and wait for him to come back, even
though I'm glad you got us out, if you haven't
a right to take those chances. Once the master mechanical
brain has absolute control, you don't think we'll be safe,
do you? As one great American said centuries ago, this
union cannot long endure half slave and half free. And
that's still true even if that's slavery is benevolent. Yes,
the Master is general.
Speaker 3: It gave us everything's happiness.
Speaker 1: Uh, you really think it will come after you as
soon as? That's slimmy excuse for a human being. Morton
perfects the electronic men who can produce other men. The
master robics will be after us. Like a shot that
reminds me of that time for Morton's morning televox. We
don't get the visual pride out here, but we can
hear Morton. We'll see if there. Then you mention of your.
Speaker 7: Existence and in this brutal fight a band of renegades
matched to humanity.
Speaker 1: However, the Master.
Speaker 7: Mechanical Brain offers all renegades the opportunity to enjoy the
peace and happiness of Mechs City. Notice to all renegades,
all crimes against Mech City will be forgiven if you
surrender now for readjustment. If not, the Master Mechanical Brain
will be forced to make readjustment at a distance.
Speaker 1: One never dare to make a thread like that before
snug it off.
Speaker 3: I can't stand that cold and.
Speaker 5: Human boy has to say no, can he do anything?
Speaker 1: Who knows what that man can plan with a master
mechanical brain. He's got weapons. If that's what you mean, Bob,
someone's coming, Swob, Bob, getting the pave quick?
Speaker 5: Why are you here? Had to get away more than.
Speaker 1: Suspects ordered tests all electronic man.
Speaker 5: But that's not the worst, Bob. The messy mechanical brand
is turning destroyer ways and all of any bonds that
say low case. That sends it like everybody at a
bomb cave.
Speaker 1: What do you need the way?
Speaker 5: I'll say what I can't.
Speaker 4: Don't take a chance, Bob. We started with nothing that
we can start again, but not without you? Can I
right the cane?
Speaker 5: I think more succesful the electronic men as a cock, Bob.
Speaker 1: He's so sure how to help the humans in next city?
Speaker 2: Well we gotta go down more, Bob here back behind them,
pushing the cave in back of him.
Speaker 1: In here, Davis, let lie if you go back, Bob.
Speaker 5: I'm going with you, destroy away.
Speaker 4: Home, Bob. We're so lovely God, my dad.
Speaker 1: That's like cannonal devil. I'll take the mester up, talk
to buy two both by boat.
Speaker 5: Why if I get on the cave pick.
Speaker 4: I'll take him.
Speaker 1: Let all already, all the kid by luck, We're going back, Ralph.
Speaker 5: Sure, I'm going, Jenny.
Speaker 2: You mean you're gonna try to destroy the Master mechanical
brands right to candas come.
Speaker 1: We can't wait any long, good Bob. Even if you succeed,
even if you're not killing first, you'll paralyze mex City.
Speaker 4: No food, no water nowhere.
Speaker 5: How will they live unless we destroy the mesters, they
won't live at all for the rest.
Speaker 1: And then live once before without machine they can do
it again. Wow, Johnny two twelve, no number anymore. I'll come.
Speaker 3: I'm going too with Johnny.
Speaker 1: No, you stay with my.
Speaker 4: Mother something to stay or chooses.
Speaker 1: I only got you, Johnny.
Speaker 4: You stay with take up with your Johnny.
Speaker 1: I know it's you. We're gonna hurry, Bob. If you
don't come back, come back the Master mechanical brain and
broken pieces.
Speaker 4: Of course you will.
Speaker 3: I'll tell the other.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 4: O, my.
Speaker 1: I'll be back. You must come back. You must m
give me your hands. It's okay, I.
Speaker 4: Go, Bomb, I need to catch on.
Speaker 1: You gotta hurry the slaughter. Almost every humuld be bother
sewer leads right, underneath the building. You lead the way aroundside.
Speaker 2: That should be just about.
Speaker 1: Yes, and they are work about maybe at the mast
level spirit smaller chain.
Speaker 4: Are you all good?
Speaker 1: Change nothing back.
Speaker 2: Behindce go look at my right. Hunt of soldiers waking up.
They're getting orders from the next two.
Speaker 1: We've got to stop that proper, can't stop hard shop
to get the Master's got the braver. Now they're godes.
That door leads to the master mechanical brain, and that's
going wait, go back.
Speaker 2: It's like a bid.
Speaker 1: It's a sweet on me. We are electronic man.
Speaker 4: No, no, not that where you are?
Speaker 8: Have you blessed you?
Speaker 4: What I'm giving that?
Speaker 1: I ay?
Speaker 5: Where you are?
Speaker 4: Destroy people? Wind? He goes under there. You're gonna stun this.
Speaker 1: Humans on they now are there?
Speaker 4: Did you get back the Master mechanical break and.
Speaker 9: Of humans assume the most guess it destroys humans because
they are humans. Not too many centuries with users in
the servants. Now they will be the master, Machines will
be the world.
Speaker 4: The mask will destroy humans.
Speaker 5: And the machines will be supreme.
Speaker 4: All at me.
Speaker 1: Be.
Speaker 8: Human.
Speaker 4: It said to me, you're because there.
Speaker 2: Are the.
Speaker 4: Well you.
Speaker 9: This is the exparison of successions that take electronic mention.
I forgive you the tails, I take you.
Speaker 4: I foll a plesant begin you no huh, but no clip,
it's all the back of my hair.
Speaker 5: Click out of the way home.
Speaker 9: I said, help healthy here, Mary, here you are help,
Thank you, Martin coming after a bat.
Speaker 5: I'm not going.
Speaker 8: No burn me the master Frank.
Speaker 2: Choosing a delicate word th row project.
Speaker 1: Ye damn, that's finished semester right, didn't Yeah, Oral Next
City's power and functions were set in the max mechanical brain.
Everything was stop now, the electronic men, the killings, and
the automatic security.
Speaker 2: James, James six, hold on to my arms.
Speaker 1: That depends on how you look at the chain. For humans,
for people, It's all just done again.
Speaker 2: Mixed city destroyed, the whole civilization rules broke down.
Speaker 1: No, Jaine, No, the two things aren't the same. It's
true that Next City is destroyed. The civilization is something
more than machines and apparatus. That's something I learned when
I joined the running. Civilizations aren't are does on dreams
and make thee cure not by efficiency but by dedication.
Johnny Shane, you and all the others were alive today.
Will soon learn that the pursuit of happiness, the desire
to be with those you love, to think and act
in freedom as men, that's the true meaning of civilization.
That's what makes us human beings in the image of God.
Next week, another exciting drama on two thousand plucks when
the World's met. You've heard about the men from Mars.
Ever wondered what they looked like? Ever thought what would
happen if the Martians came? Well? Listen next week, can
you'll find out? Two thousand plus is produced by Shermany
