1
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Come in. Welcome, Welcome to mystery theater. I am Hymen Brown.

2
00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:20,559
Speaker 2: As a teller of my serious tales, I am often

3
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,079
asked how much is.

4
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: Like and how much is fiction?

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Almost is awesome?

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,039
Speaker 3: Another question is asked.

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:30,879
Speaker 1: Who really knows?

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,719
Speaker 4: And if I am going to be asked.

9
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: About the story, if you are going.

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 4: To hear now, let the answer before.

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: Long, the answer will be that question, who really knows?

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,759
Speaker 1: You may believe it's all fiction.

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,759
Speaker 5: If you choose, but I'd like to see you prove it.

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,159
Speaker 4: Has your husband definitely decided to tell me? Except has

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:55,719
he ever?

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 6: If he's accepted, wild horses couldn't keep him out.

17
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: So he'll be accepted, No question about that. And you

18
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:05,280
don't look like a wild horse to me.

19
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:06,359
Speaker 5: I beg your pardon.

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,239
Speaker 4: I can't here this morning to advise you as strongly

21
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:14,200
as I can. If you have it in your power,

22
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:18,280
by any means whatever, keep your husband out of the

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,280
executive club.

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,879
Speaker 7: I see.

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: No, no, you don't see. It's not the snobbest kind

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,840
of thing you're thinking. It's for his own good, Julie,

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,120
he is only yours. You'll be sorry for the rest

28
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,959
of your life if you let him join that club.

29
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:47,519
Speaker 1: Oh, mystery drama. No, we don't think VIGGERI was.

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: Written especially for the mystery theater by Field and Firing

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,920
and Stars Linka Peterson.

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 5: I'll be back chaff and.

33
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Would act one.

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,199
Speaker 4: There are special.

35
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: Days in everyone's life, sad days, days of relations, ordeal,

36
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,759
decision in short evers days. Hal Simms has awakened to

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,080
such a day. It's perfectly good breakfast, scarcely tasted. He

38
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800
is pacing the floor, waiting in good time to leave,

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,240
to catch us clean into the city. Julie, his lovely wife,

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,280
he's had I need some breakfast. Thinks he is overdoing it, honestly.

41
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: Karl, I've never seen you so joking.

42
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,439
Speaker 7: But the Executive Club, Julie, don't you know what that means?

43
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:50,879
Speaker 6: But I know that the meeting isn't.

44
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: Until eight thirty to nine.

45
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 6: If you carry on like this all day, you'll be

46
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:55,599
a littertaked by them.

47
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 7: So I'm nervous.

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,599
Speaker 5: I'll be all right.

49
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 4: Think you so nerve this.

50
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 6: Mister Lath asked you to join the club, didn't he.

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 7: He asked me if he might put my name up

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,080
for members.

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: To see.

54
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 7: This isn't just another club. Julie is remember of the

55
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,800
Executive Club is an important man, and if he isn't

56
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,319
important when he's doing, he gets important. I like you

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,400
just the way you are.

58
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:19,439
Speaker 5: My boss J D.

59
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 7: Mason, the president of govern Engineering, in case you've forgotten,

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,159
is a member of the Executive Club. Can't you see

61
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:27,199
what that means, Julie?

62
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 6: What I can see is that you're going to miss

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,120
your train if you don't take off.

64
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, I better go. I'll be home as early

65
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,759
as I can. We'll we'll want an early dinner. And yes,

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,759
I better get going.

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,319
Speaker 4: How about a little kiss from media.

68
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 7: Don't forget early dinner?

69
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,719
Speaker 6: Carl, Carl, you forgot your breathcake.

70
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:51,879
Speaker 4: I hope he remembers which train he's supposed to take.

71
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Good morning. You're Julie Simms, aren't you. Yes, I'm Rose Lathrops.

72
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:10,680
I hope you don't mind my barging in like this

73
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,319
without any notice or anything. Of course, not come in.

74
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: Thank you.

75
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: I know it's outrageously early, but I wanted to be

76
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,560
sure to catch you before you went out of something.

77
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,759
Speaker 6: That's perfectly all right.

78
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: Won't you sit down? Are you? Missus?

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 6: Alfred Lathrop Your husband's the Executive.

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,879
Speaker 4: Club man, that's right, Missus Simms. Would you mind if

81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,000
I called you Julie? Of course not and I'm Rose, Julie.

82
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,639
How do you feel about your husband joining the Executive Club?

83
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:48,399
Speaker 6: Oh, frankly, missus les Rose. It doesn't make much difference

84
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:50,480
to me one way or the other. If Carl wants it,

85
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:51,399
I guess I'm glad.

86
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,519
Speaker 4: Well. I I came here this morning to advise you

87
00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:59,279
as strongly as I can keep your husband out of

88
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,279
the Executive Club. I see No, No, you don't see

89
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,160
it at all. It's not the snobbish kind of thing

90
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:10,519
you're thinking. It's for his own good, his and yours.

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000
You'll be sorry for the rest of your life if

92
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,319
you will let him join that club.

93
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:17,639
Speaker 6: When yet, apparently you let your husband join.

94
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry, but why. I can't tell you why

95
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,920
at this point I'm afraid to afraid.

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: Yes.

97
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: Oh, and please don't mention any of this your husband.

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,279
I mean that I've been here, what I've said.

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,519
Speaker 6: Any of it, and we don't have many secrets from

100
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:35,519
each other. Karl and I, well, please.

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 4: Keep this one. I can't tell you why just yet,

102
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,319
but it's very important to.

103
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,959
Speaker 6: Me, all right, If you say so.

104
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:44,519
Speaker 5: Thank you?

105
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,079
Speaker 6: Does the executive club have anything like a woman's auxilia.

106
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: No, no, nothing at all of that kind. I wouldn't

107
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,000
call it the woman's auxiliar, even even if there was one.

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,519
I think it might be better named the widows auxeniary widows.

109
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 6: Oh you mean like golf widows that kind of thing.

110
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,319
Speaker 4: No, my dear, I'm afraid I don't mean that at all.

111
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,160
I mean exactly what I say.

112
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Yes, what is it?

113
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 7: Mister lak.

114
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: All right?

115
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:24,639
Speaker 1: There? Send him invies.

116
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,759
Speaker 5: Not interrupting anything, am I JD No, No, no, not

117
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:34,000
at all. Efforts it down. I've been wanting to talk

118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,439
to you anyway about our man Sims. Carl Sims says, Hm,

119
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:41,920
I'm putting him up for membership in the club, Tonice,

120
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:46,000
you know, yes, and you won't be sorry. I really

121
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,319
think he will work out well. Practicable, knows how to

122
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:53,519
handle himself. I think I'll put him in charge of

123
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,759
Project Overlook if he passes Mustard and I fine. I

124
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,800
don't think there'll be any trouble about getting him in.

125
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,439
It's mostly my recommendation, you know. Yeah, I have any

126
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,600
news at all from upstairs, Mira seven. I don't think

127
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,279
it's wise to use that name even here, though, I'm

128
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:18,399
sure you're not bugged. No, I have not been in

129
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,519
touch with upstairs, not for a couple of weeks now,

130
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:26,360
mm well, I'm just wondering what they think of our

131
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:31,519
progress and project. Overlook, we've been working hard. His excellency

132
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:34,800
has been alerted that I'll be requesting an audience tonight

133
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:38,240
if it's time, and if he seems, you know, in

134
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:43,439
the right mood, I'll ask him, yes, yes, well, uh,

135
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,639
don't push it to tell him if you want to

136
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,040
that I absolutely endorse Carl Simms. It might make it difverse.

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,839
I'll tell him if I get the chance. But he

138
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:58,600
makes up his own mind, you know that. Oh yes,

139
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:11,160
yes he should, as you should, Carl.

140
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,519
Speaker 6: Eat it at Steak. I almost had to take out

141
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,399
a second mortgage.

142
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 7: They're very good, too, done.

143
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,839
Speaker 5: Just right then?

144
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: Eat it?

145
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Sure?

146
00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: Sure, Carl.

147
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,439
Speaker 6: If you're accepted tonight in the club, you know that

148
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,600
doesn't mean you absolutely have to join?

149
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:31,879
Speaker 1: Does it have to?

150
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:34,279
Speaker 7: Why on earth wouldn't I want to?

151
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

152
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 6: I've just been thinking about it, that's all. Doesn't it

153
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,320
seem to you that anything that offers so many advantages

154
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,799
as you think this club does, well, might there be

155
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,200
some disadvantages too.

156
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 7: Name me one, Well I can.

157
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,879
Speaker 6: Of course, it's just a nothing is perfect. I'm looking

158
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:53,360
for the catch, that's all I.

159
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,519
Speaker 7: Would it, See, Julie, if you just left that to me,

160
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,919
I think I'm perfectly cases.

161
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 6: Always the phone dinner time? Want me to get it now,

162
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:02,159
I'll go.

163
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,159
Speaker 7: If it's Alfred Latha No him, I'm ready anytime he is.

164
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:12,639
Speaker 4: Hello, Julie, missus Rose Lathram. Oh, hi, Albert says Carl's

Speaker 1: A bar is all yours.

234
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,480

Speaker 5: Well, then don't I'll see your labor.

00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 8: What do you mean?

238
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: Well, I've done this twice before. I had this kind

239
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,120
of talk with two other women when their husbands joined

240
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,120
the club. Didn't get me anywhere, but at least I

241
00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:42,960
didn't get hurt.

242
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,519
Speaker 5: Hurt?

243
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: How could you get hurt? They might have told their husbands.

244
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:50,279
Their husbands would certainly have told Alfred, so I could

245
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:50,799
have been hurt.

246
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 6: Alright, you know, honestly, you'll frightening me.

247
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. So as soon as we hear from Alfred

248
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,519
or Carla, I'll tell you the whole thing. Not that

00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:09,240

Speaker 1: Call SIM.

264
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:25,879
Speaker 2: Communication with another planet, another planetary system altogether. From a

265
00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:31,480
scientific standpoint, it's not impossible we can bounce messages of

266
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,679
satellite and send them around the Earth without distorction.

267
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: What if we didn't bounce them off the satellite.

268
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,519
Speaker 2: Just send them on out, wouldn't they simply continue through.

269
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,799

Speaker 2: Continue shortly with Act two.

272
00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: There are many people, some of them very wise.

273
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:09,879
Speaker 2: Who are firmly convinced that we are not alone in

274
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,600
the universe. These wise men also believe that our intelligence

275
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,279
is not necessarily unique, and there is logic in what

276
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:24,639
they say. It's a very large universe to both only

277
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:29,279
one minor planet which has been overrun by creatures who

278
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:35,000
call themselves humans. Alfred Lathrup is engaged in a two

279
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:40,279

00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 6: Okay, we've been accepted unanimously.

332
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,319
Speaker 4: Well we did expect it, didn't we. I poured you

333
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,480
a brandy. You're gonna need it.

334
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 6: Thanks. I hope now you'll tell me what this is

335
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:44,799
all about.

336
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 4: Well, they're they're all robots. What did you say? Alfred

337
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:55,359
and all the rest of them, every member of the

338
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,880
Executive Club, they're all robots.

339
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 6: Oh, come on, I.

340
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: Know, I know how my son. When I just I

341
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,440
just hit you with it. I've had years to grow

342
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,160
accustomed to it, as accustomed as you can get for

343
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:09,920
there isn't.

344
00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 6: Any such thing as robots roads I mean not but

345
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:17,880
look and talk and act like people. There just isn't any.

346
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: Such things androids, robots, I I don't know whether there's

347
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,440
a proper word for them or not, former people, whatever

348
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,599
you call them. They're not human anymore. I just can't them.

349
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,839
They're they're controlled by or something aliens, aliens I mean

350
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:37,720
not of this earth.

351
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 6: Or it's just too much, you know.

352
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 4: That, don't Oh, it's too much, alright, But that doesn't

353
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,559
keep it from being true. Alfred is one of the

354
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,119
charter members of the Executive Club. I have been living

355
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,720
with a a robot for I guess, I guess almost

356
00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:04,279
twelve years now. Well, let's say it's true. Why do

357
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,759
you live with him or what would you suggest? Divorce

358
00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:09,599
your honor on the ground that my husband is a

359
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,680
robot and have made a straight jacket no time. Rose,

360
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,839
I'm so sorry. Let's try not to let it happen

361
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,759
to you. As I said, they're they're controlled by something alien,

362
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:27,279
something not only not of this earth, but I'm convinced

363
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:32,480
not even honest, and they're all very very important men.

364
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,079
I'm sure your husband has mentioned.

365
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 6: That Oh yes, he keeps on and honor about it.

366
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 4: They're powerful, They're rich and powerful, and they use their power,

367
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,039
all their resources to further the designs of the aliens

368
00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:48,440
who control them. But I don't know exactly what their

369
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,680
purpose is, those alien creatures and their robe but lackeys.

370
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,880
But it's against us, Julie, it's against the people of

371
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:57,480
this earth.

372
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,319
Speaker 6: I'm trying, Rods, honestly, I'm trying. But you don't know

373
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,640
how all this zones.

374
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:07,519
Speaker 4: I've lived with it for years and I'm still as

375
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,200
horrified as you are. And I listen to the rest

376
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,119
of it and then decide whether or not you can

377
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,440
believe it. All right, gone, Well, this isn't the only club.

378
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:20,440
They're at least a dozen of them around this country.

379
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,680
They work in all different areas industry, finance, politics, science,

380
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:27,319
the arts. I don't know why at all, but they

381
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,440
cooperate like well, like parts of a single machine. And

382
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:34,440
maybe that's what they are. Sooner or later they're going

383
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:41,960
to take over take over what ah, everybody, everything the earth.

384
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,839
Speaker 6: Does anybody else suspect all this? Any of the other

385
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,759
white I don't know.

386
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: Some of them are surely I've been afraid to approach

387
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,519
them afraid. Why well, if the men, including Alfred, oh god,

388
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,759
including Alfred, if they considered me a threat, I'm convinced,

389
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:04,960
please eliminate me, Rose like a shot without a scruple.

390
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,319
Do you actually know all this?

391
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 6: I mean, is it just a suspicion you have?

392
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: I know, take my word for it. I know Alfred's

393
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:20,640
told me or not the whole story. Of course, there

394
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,640
there are areas that seem to be pretty well sealed off.

395
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,960
But he's told me enough.

396
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 6: I thought it was so secret it seems strange he'd

397
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:31,880
tell you if none of the other husbands told their wives.

398
00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: I know how to make him talk, that's all. I

399
00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:41,160
figured out a way to short circuit his computer computer,

400
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,519
the thing they put where his brain used to.

401
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 5: Be beautiful evening. I'm glad we decided to walk.

402
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,599
Speaker 7: I feel Ah, you can't imagine how.

403
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: Good I feel. Sure I can't.

404
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 5: And it's a wonderful thing for a young man becoming

405
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,680
a member of the executive Club. More wonderful even than.

406
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: You know, cousin.

407
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:11,079
Speaker 7: Oh, I do know, I really think I do.

408
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 5: You won't really know until after the initiation.

409
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 7: Do you have any idea when the initiation.

410
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: Will be.

411
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 5: I know exactly, but you won't know until the day comes,

412
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:29,759
So you know as much as I do.

413
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,839
Speaker 4: Now to leave? What do you think to tell you

414
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,279
the truth?

415
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 6: I just plain don't know what to think.

416
00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's.

417
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 6: A pretty fantastic story.

418
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:42,519
Speaker 4: Hm, too fantastic for me to have made up.

419
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't think you're lying.

420
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,319
Speaker 4: Unless you believe me, you have to think I'm deranged.

421
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,279
Those are the alternatives.

422
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 6: I I think I believe you, not because it's a

423
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,240
plausible story, but because I don't think you're lying, and

424
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:02,160
I don't think you're doc your rocker. So what can

425
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,200
I do but believe it's true?

426
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:11,079
Speaker 4: Honest to god, Julie, it's true. What about Carl? When

427
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,599
will they do it? They haven't already? Oh no, no, no,

428
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,599
my dear, he's still all right. Don't worry about that.

429
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,119
He'll be safe until the night of the initiation, Tulie.

430
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,279
I have a plan to help Carl, yes, and to

431
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,680
put a stop to all of it. Put an end

432
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,160
to the Executive Club.

433
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 6: Before they do anything to Carl.

434
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: If it works, I've had this plan for a long time,

435
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,680
but I can't manage it without help. This is the

436
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,200
first time anybody's even even been willing to listen to me.

437
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:45,880
Will you help me too, Leie?

438
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,319
Speaker 6: Oh yes, I don't want to see Carl made into it. Yes,

439
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:50,039
all help.

440
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: It could be dangerous, all right, I thought i'd never Julie,

441
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,960
thank you. We'll do it. I know we'll do it now,

442
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,519
the night of the initiation, will do it. When will

443
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:08,079
they have the initiation? I don't know yet. They keep

444
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,759
it a secret. The date of the initiation is never

445
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:13,839
known to anyone, but the members call themselves. Won't get

446
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:16,279
more than a few hours notice. So then how can

447
00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:18,279
then we will? I I can find out when it's

448
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,720
going to be. I ast Alfred tonight and he'll just

449
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,839
tell you. I can make him tell me. See the

450
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,480
minds of computers, Julie, if you overload them, they they

451
00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:33,000
get confused. And when they're confused, they're inhibitors or whatever

452
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,680
you wanna call them. They they simply stop functioning. You

453
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:40,599
can get must anything out of them. I learned the

454
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:51,599
technique very well, Alfred, Alfred, who well you awake?

455
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: Uh?

456
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,319
Speaker 5: Yes, I know.

457
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 4: I brought you a glass of arm milk.

458
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 5: You brought me. You woke me up up to give

459
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,200
me a glass of warm milk or what for to

460
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,880
help me help me sleep?

461
00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: Well, that's crazy what.

462
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:10,519
Speaker 4: You were tossing and turning and muttering and talking, talking.

463
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: In my sleeping yes? Or what did I say?

464
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,319
Speaker 5: Oh?

465
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 4: Nothing anybody could understand, just mumbling and moaning and groaning.

466
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,240
I just thought maybe a glass of warm milk would

467
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,000
help you get some decent sleep. Roll and me too. Here,

468
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,200
come on, I'll drink the milk before it gets cold.

469
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: Alright, alright, thank you?

470
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: Uh talking in my sleep?

471
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 7: Hm?

472
00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 4: Muttering? Alfred?

473
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:38,839
Speaker 5: Uh?

474
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,519
Speaker 4: Who always at the meeting tonight?

475
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 5: Well, you know Carled Simmons and the members all but JD.

476
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,279
Speaker 1: Mason?

477
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:48,759
Speaker 4: He did you reb to call the plumber about the

478
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:49,720
kitchen drain today?

479
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,319
Speaker 1: A plumber? Why I thought you were going?

480
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:54,599
Speaker 4: Well, there was kids next door. I've been running through

481
00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:57,440
our yard, Alfred, and my venias are just a mess.

482
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,079
I think you ought to go over and have a

483
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,119
talk with mister tarm It.

484
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 5: So, mister turrence can hardly be expected to do anything

485
00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:06,920
about our kitchen drain after but the kids.

486
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,279
Speaker 4: Oh, Alfred, have you heard from that cousin of yours

487
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:12,119
out in Wyoming was going to have the operation?

488
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,279
Speaker 5: Alice? Well, she doesn't have any kids, and even if

489
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:17,799
she did, they wouldn't be running through a yard messing.

490
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: Up your silt.

491
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 4: Red Albert, are you going to write that check to

492
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,680
the cancer fund? Or did you want me to do

493
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,319
it cancer? No?

494
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:28,039
Speaker 5: No, no, Alice's operation was for gallstones. I think it

495
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:28,440
was God.

496
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: I saw the most beautiful pantsuit at Randalls today. Would

497
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:34,160
you mind if I don't want to?

498
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:34,599
Speaker 1: Wait?

499
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, wait a minute, Alice doesn't wear And

500
00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:41,640
if indeed you remember.

501
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: To have your driver's license renew now I know it

502
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:47,240
runs out either this month or next, you shouldn't neglect them.

503
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,079
Speaker 5: Red Bloud, listen, Alice, I mean Rose, And if she

504
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,960
wants to wear a pantsuit, I don't see why.

505
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 4: Business I do, read Albred. When is carlt Who's going

506
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,720
to be initiated?

507
00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:00,559
Speaker 5: A children are too young to anyway?

508
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: So why should I go over there?

509
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 4: Going to be initiated?

510
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: As far as the kitchen sink is concerned, Alice, I

511
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:09,640
mean broad Calm is going to be initiated into the

512
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:15,079
club tomorrow night meeting.

513
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: Eight thirty.

514
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 4: Finish your milk outfort You must be sleepy.

515
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: People with computers for brains another concept that isn't easy

516
00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:37,359
to believe. But then the extraordinary is always hard to accept.

517
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:39,319
Speaker 1: The radio on which.

518
00:28:39,079 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: You are listening to this story was once considered some

519
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:44,400
mad inventor's dreams.

520
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: So is the bright little bulb in the lamp at

521
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:47,799
your elbow.

522
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:52,519
Speaker 2: So here we have a mechanized brain.

523
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:55,119
Speaker 5: Housed in a human body.

524
00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:59,759
Speaker 2: Don't call it beyond the realm of possibility before.

525
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,039
Speaker 5: You hear what happens when I returned shortly with Act III.

526
00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:06,240
A Los Atlas.

527
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: Digression is not unusual in this world. It's characteristic of

528
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,839
the individual, the tribe, the community, and perhaps especially the nation.

529
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:31,839
And since it is so widespread among mankind.

530
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 5: I don't believe we ought to be too surprised.

531
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: When at last we.

532
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,759
Speaker 5: Contact alien intelligence to find.

533
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,359
Speaker 1: A present there as well.

534
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,839
Speaker 2: According to Roseleathrop, there is such an intelligence which has

535
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:52,039
taken over the Executive Club and has controlled its members

536
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:55,480
in such a way as to further its own selfish

537
00:29:55,799 --> 00:30:00,680
and aggressive and cal Finn has been approve.

538
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,799
Speaker 1: A membership in the club.

539
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,759
Speaker 5: Jewelry doesn't like it, and they've quarrel.

540
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,039
Speaker 6: Your toast is ready, Carl, I don't want any.

541
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:13,759
Speaker 4: Breakfast, all right, pout, I'll get that go ahead.

542
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:19,839
Speaker 5: Hello, Alfred Leaf, up here are you alone. Well, alright,

543
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,839
AND's uh none committally you understand? Yeah, sure, the initiation

544
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,240
is set for the night already, who just yes or no?

545
00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: The meetings for eight thirty at the club house. You

546
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:36,519
and I will have dinner together at the Red Bond,

547
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:39,720
go straight to the meeting from there. You won't be

548
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:43,680
home for dinner. Well, alright, but that's the way it's

549
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,480
been arranged.

550
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:45,599
Speaker 5: Okay.

551
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 7: I guess I can manage.

552
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,279
Speaker 1: Another word to anyone about the initiation. That's important.

553
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:55,119
Speaker 5: I understand, see you then and remember not a word?

554
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: Right?

555
00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 6: Well, that was pretty cryptic.

556
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 7: I'd better go if I don't want to miss my train,

557
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,160
I'll be late tonight. Don't wait dinner for me. I'll

558
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,559
pick up a bike in the city.

559
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 4: You have to work late.

560
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 7: Yes, they've run into a snag on a special project

561
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,400
I've been working on, and if we don't get it

562
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,559
straightened out to night, we'll fall behind schedule.

563
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 4: Was that the office Colin?

564
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, that was mister Mason himself.

565
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 6: It wasn't Alfred Lafer.

566
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: I told you who it was.

567
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,359
Speaker 7: What are you doing calling me a liar?

568
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:32,599
Speaker 1: Now?

569
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,119
Speaker 7: All right?

570
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: How late will you be?

571
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,359
Speaker 7: I have no idea after I've finished the job, whatever

572
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,680
time that is, I'll come home. I've got to run, Julie.

573
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,319
Speaker 4: Maybe that's exactly what you should do.

574
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:54,519
Speaker 9: Run, Oh, Julie, come in.

575
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: Ros Carl got a phone call just before he asked

576
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,720
for the office and it was just a yes or

577
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,519
no conversation from his end, and he.

578
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 6: I think the initiation is going to be tonight.

579
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:07,319
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right, said down Julie. It don't look well

580
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,279
at all. It is tonight. Yes, I forced it all

581
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:12,079
out of Alfred. Can I get you or anything?

582
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,079
Speaker 7: No, I'm all right.

583
00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 5: I'm scared.

584
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 6: That's all I'm scared of.

585
00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be all right. Or he

586
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,920
and Alfred will have dinner somewhere and then go to

587
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,400
the meeting.

588
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,039
Speaker 6: What are we going to do?

589
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:27,039
Speaker 4: I told you I have a plan for tonight.

590
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 7: Will it work tonight.

591
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,039
Speaker 4: As well as any other night. It's a very simple

592
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,680
plan really. The timing is pretty delicate, of course, but

593
00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:39,799
I'll take care of that. Here's what we have to do.

594
00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:48,200
It's almost eight thirty. Shouldn't we hurry? No? No, we're

595
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,640
just about right. They won't go into the inner room

596
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,079
until a few minutes the past eight thirty. We don't

597
00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:54,440
want to get there until after that.

598
00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:57,519
Speaker 6: The inner room is that where the initiation?

599
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 4: Is that where they do it? Yeah, but they won't

600
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,079
this time now if we can help it. I don't

601
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:07,559
see how you can trust me. I really do know

602
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:13,640
what I'm doing. It's it's surgery. You said, Yes, there's

603
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,920
a doctor Lane who's a member of the club, and

604
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,720
I assume he performs the surgery. Although I've never quite

605
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:22,519
been able to get it out of Alfred, that part

606
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:26,480
seems to be pretty thoroughly locked in doctor Lane. You've

607
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,200
heard of him. Probably, it's just about the best brain

608
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:32,920
surgeon there is anywhere. And why shouldn't he be. He's

609
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:40,240
programmed for it. I'm so scared it's going to work, Julie.

610
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,559
I know it's going to work.

611
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 6: And you don't really know, though, do you.

612
00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:48,799
Speaker 4: There's a power switch somewhere. There has to be. If

613
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:54,279
they're brains, they're computers are mechanical, and I know they are,

614
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,599
and there's got to be a power source. And if

615
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,119
you can turn power up, you can turn it off.

616
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,079
It has to be that way. You've never asked Alba

617
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:08,440
a million times, they've really got that one sealed off?

618
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:10,559
Speaker 6: Well, then, what makes you think you can get somebody

619
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:11,400
else to tell you.

620
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 4: Well, then they go into the inner room. They'll leave

621
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:16,119
one man in the common room to guard the door there.

622
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:20,920
Tyler they call him. Isn't that sweet and old fashioned?

623
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,159
But if Alfred won't tell, then Tyler, whoever it is tonight,

624
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,320
has never experienced the kind of short circuit, and I'm

625
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,000
gonna hit him with now. I'm depending on the shop

626
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:33,719
to break him all the way down. And if it doesn't,

627
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:35,920
what have we got to lose?

628
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 5: Now, Carl, we're almost ready to go into the inner

629
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,400
room where the initiation will take place.

630
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 7: Takes me back to my college days.

631
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 5: Except that there's nothing frivolous about this. Will one of

632
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:53,880
you men.

633
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: Hang up your shirt and jacket? Please?

634
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,519
Speaker 5: All right, Carl, sit here, okay?

635
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 7: I I thought it was going to be in the uh,

636
00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:05,239
the inner room.

637
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 5: That part comes later, ready, Jim, already go ahead?

638
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,679
Speaker 7: Else, what was that he stuck a needle in my arm?

639
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 5: Nothing to be concerned about, Car, You're two tennis.

640
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:23,599
Speaker 1: You need to relax. It was just a mild tranquilizer.

641
00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:30,039
Speaker 5: It's going to relax you make you feel sleepy, very contented,

642
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,840
and at peace with the world. You are getting sleepy

643
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:41,039
aren't you see? Your eyes are closing, and it feels

644
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:44,039
so good just to rest and let the tension drain

645
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:44,760
out of.

646
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: You and sleep. Rest and relax, Rest and sleep.

647
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,039
Speaker 5: Car. Yes, do what ever I tell you to do,

648
00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:05,519
but only what I tell you. Do you understand that.

649
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 7: I do what you tell me to do, but only

650
00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:12,480
what you tell me to do.

651
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 5: The Executive Club, which you have the honor of joining

652
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,639
this evening, is controlled by a civilization which is ages

653
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:25,360
older and infinitely more advance than what we call civilization

654
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,800
here on Earth. The beings who make up that civilization

655
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,960
are our masters. They live on the seventh planet of

656
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,199
a star known to Earthlings as Myra. They're in urgent

657
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,320

of government and the powers of his office to conceal

810
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,000
