Speaker 1: In just a moment X minus one. But first, everything

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,839
from famous criminals to accidents in the home will be

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:09,800
covered tomorrow in the staff of NBC's Weekday brings you

00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,120
Gladys Cooper, prominent Broadway actress, and many others. Treat yourself

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,920
to the best daytime entertainment with NBC's Weekday tomorrow and

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,880
I'll stay tuned for X minus one on NBC.

11
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:48,039
Speaker 2: Come down for Blast Off X minus five four three

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:01:18,719
two X minus one Fire from the far horizons of

13
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,480
the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time

14
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,359
and space. These are stories of the future adventures in

15
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,680
which you'll live in a million, could be years, on

16
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:34,439
a thousand, maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company, in cooperation

17
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,159
with Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, presents.

18
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,879
Speaker 3: HE minus minus.

19
00:01:41,680 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: One Tonight story Hello Tomorrow. After the Third Atomic War,

20
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:06,959
when the Earth was a mass of red radioactive dust,

21
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,960
a handful of men and women went deep underground.

22
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: In the struggle for survival.

23
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: A new civilization was built deep underground, a civilization which

24
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,840
must keep a ceaseless vigil against the deadly gamma rays

25
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,000
which filtered down through the earth. A civilization where the

26
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,439
prime consideration is the genetic survival of the race. It

27
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,400
is to this civilization, in the year of our Lord

28
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,439
forty one ninety five, that we take you now.

29
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 6: Professor Lois Burton.

30
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:42,759
Speaker 7: Yes, I have a call from the Director.

31
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 6: Of Emotional Stability for the third oblong go answer.

32
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 7: Hello, dear, how is the Director of Emotional stability? By?

33
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:58,360
How impressive that sounds? Sorry? How are you? You sound tired?

34
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,599
Speaker 4: You have some bad cases, mostly frantic mothers who insist

35
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,120
on imparting their feelings to children. I suspect it's chromosomes

36
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,080
affected by gamma ray leakage.

37
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 6: From the surface. But the head of the psychotechnic division says,

38
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:14,879
the glandular cases. But that isn't why I called. I

39
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:15,639
have good news.

40
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 7: What is it?

41
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 6: The genetic board has approved.

42
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,719
Speaker 7: Our application for marriage so soon.

43
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,159
Speaker 6: Our chromosomes tested perfect. We can marry any time we want.

44
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 4: As a geneticist, you should know that our offspring should

45
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,280
be ninety percent dile of perfection.

46
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 7: I know what's the matter.

47
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 6: You are happy about it?

48
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,719
Speaker 7: About you, of course, terribly happy.

49
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 6: I'm coming right over to the left.

50
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,599
Speaker 7: You have to give me some time, no trouble. You

51
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,960
know that genetic survey. I've been working on it. Well,

52
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,680
I've finally gotten permission to study an actual living case,

53
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,280
a specimen of imperfect genetic transmission. Really, they're bringing him

54
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,879
or it up from the condemned cages on a lower level.

55
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 6: You will be careful.

56
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 7: There's nothing to be afraid of. The specimen is x

57
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,360
J twelve. It's been studied before many times and is

58
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:02,919
quite well trained. Oh there's my door signal. I'll have

59
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,360
to hang up, darling, see you later.

60
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 8: Yes, Professor Burton, Yes, I'm from the Phylogenetic Institute.

61
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 7: Oh you brought my specimen?

62
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:15,199
Speaker 5: May I come in?

63
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:23,879
Speaker 7: By all means? Oh? Huh, horrible?

64
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: It all depends on your viewpoint.

65
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 8: I happen to have a twisted lege my parents were

66
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,160
genetically unsound.

67
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 5: But then you, yes, I am specimen x J twelve.

68
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:36,879
Speaker 7: I see.

69
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,639
Speaker 5: I hope you aren't shocked.

70
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 7: No stable person permits feelings to enter into his work.

71
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,399
I will admit to surprise. I was expecting something a

72
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:47,759
little more abnormal.

73
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 8: Well, I try to be as abnormal as possible. It

74
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:53,240
pays off. The phylogenetic Institute allows me out of the

75
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,600
genetic cages ever so often, so I can breathe the

76
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,759
pure air of the upper levels and mingle with the

77
00:04:58,639 --> 00:04:59,720
genetically perfect.

78
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 7: You seem quite well educated.

79
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: I spent the first years of my life here in

80
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:05,079
the upper levels?

81
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,639
Speaker 7: How is that possible?

82
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 8: As a small child, my mother concealed me from the

83
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,480
director of herepity, my mother actually dreadful words loved me.

84
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:21,199
Speaker 7: That would explain your obviously low threshold of emotional control.

85
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,079
Speaker 5: Hum you choose to call it that.

86
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 8: You er seem to be struggling to repress a few

87
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,040
feelings yourself.

88
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 7: We will confine ourselves to the impersonal aspects of our

89
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:34,600
work as you please. I shall require you as a

90
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,800
demonstration for electure I am delivering to one of my

91
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,040
classes tomorrow.

92
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,519
Speaker 5: At your service.

93
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 7: Sit here, Please grip these electrodes tightly. I'm going to

94
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,199
calibrate your electrochemical tension.

95
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 5: I am quite familiar with the procedure.

96
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,879
Speaker 8: I realize that as an imperfect I am expendable, but

97
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,000
I should hate to be electrocuted.

98
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:04,319
Speaker 7: The charge is not lethal. Humm plus fifteen surface tension.

99
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: No, you have beautiful hair.

100
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 7: Plus twelve at a depth of four centimeters. My hair

101
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,759
meets minimal requirements for the genetic code.

102
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 5: Lovely blue eyes, crystal clear.

103
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: Plus ten at seven centimeters.

104
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:35,519
Speaker 8: Pretty, a perfect woman, lovely expressive hands uh, and a

105
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,519
heart of stones like all the rest of you, perfect

106
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,519
survival type.

107
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 7: Shut up?

108
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 5: Could it be you do have feelings?

109
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: I seem to sense an air of emotional tension.

110
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,399
Speaker 7: It's nothing, dear. This is the specimen, you specimen.

111
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,759
Speaker 5: Tell this dog who I am, Lewis.

112
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 7: This is the director of emotional stability for the third oblong.

113
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:02,199
You will address him as mister director.

114
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,639
Speaker 4: Mister director, This creature seems quite impertinent.

115
00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 7: He's only a specimen, darling.

116
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: Well use him and ship him back to the cages.

117
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:16,480
He's probably radioactive.

118
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 9: Attention, attention.

119
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 10: The next demonstration will be conducted by Professor Lois Burton

120
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,480
of the Institute of Genetics. Her topic the probability of

121
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,720
radioactive damage in the chromosome heredity of imperfect non survival types.

122
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 7: Professor Burton, as you know, most imperfects are destroyed at birth. However,

123
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,560
those who for one reason or another manage to survive

124
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:54,439
are segregated in cages on a lower level for study purposes.

125
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,480
The specimen we have today has been trained to tell

126
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,959
in his own words about the factors in his upbringing.

127
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:04,560
You will have to forgive his immature emotional control factor.

128
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:13,720
He is, as you can see, quite different Specimen x

129
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:17,040
J twelve. You will proceed, Please thank you.

130
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 8: My mother was a psychotechnician in the Fifth Oblong. My

131
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:28,360
father was an historian specializing in the records of pre

132
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,399
atomic surface culture. In the earthquake of twenty one hundred

133
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,200
and seventy, apparently some hard radiation filtered down through the

134
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,759
tunnels and penetrated the Fifth Oblong. The effect on my

135
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,440
hereditary factors is quite apparent in.

136
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,039
Speaker 5: This twisted leg.

137
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,159
Speaker 8: My father taught me in the last days before he

138
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,200
was executed. But every human personality is born with certain

139
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:03,759
inalienable natural right, the rights to have feelings, the right

140
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080
to mature, and above all, the right to be different

141
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,679
from every other living organism, because it cannot be otherwise.

142
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 5: I submit to you, distinguished students.

143
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 9: But the attempt by.

144
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 8: This society to abridge these rights is a violation of nature.

145
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,759
I submit that the imperfects, the mutants, those who are

146
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:30,240
different have as much right to exist and be free

147
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:34,000
as you and I say, break open the cages, give

148
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,799
us back.

149
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 9: The right to the individuals of it all.

150
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: Perhaps that will teach you, Professor Burton, take this specimen

151
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:52,919
back to your laboratory and confine him.

152
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,159
Speaker 7: Hold still while I your head. You'll be all right.

153
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 5: Nice. Those you detest me for getting you into trouble.

154
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,879
Speaker 7: I don't detest you what. I don't know why. But

155
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,960
as you spoke, something began to stir in me.

156
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: Tell me what you feel. If I moved you, then

157
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,120
I must have moved the other some of them, at least.

158
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,159
Speaker 7: For some reason, I took pride in what you were doing,

159
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,519
seeing you stand up against them. Why do you look

160
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,120
at me like that?

161
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: I can't help it.

162
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:33,159
Speaker 7: I wish you wouldn't. You're only an imperfect you know. Please.

163
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,879
Speaker 5: My name is Arran. Please say it arn Arren again,

164
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:46,360
Arren Lois.

165
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 7: Arreyn loss.

166
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:52,759
Speaker 5: Loss Lois.

167
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,519
Speaker 4: All touching, Walter. I've been listening for some time, Walter.

168
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,240
How could you in my facity as director of emotional stability,

169
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,039
it is my duty? What are you going to do

170
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Specimen next j twelve will be disposed of quite systematically

171
00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:13,639
by the state, for the good of the state, for

172
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:16,399
the good of the genetic code, and in the name

173
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:27,080
of emotional stability.

174
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,159
Speaker 7: Walter, I have to talk to you.

175
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 5: Go right ahead.

176
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,919
Speaker 7: Well, you mustn't destroy.

177
00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: Him the specimen. Why not?

178
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:42,279
Speaker 7: He's emotionally unstable. You have to expect irrational behavior.

179
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,639
Speaker 4: Aren't you forgetting something, my dear, that you were responding

180
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,919
in much the same manner, or had you forgotten you see,

181
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:53,240
I'm having him liquidated for your sake. He has an

182
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,399
upsetting effect on you.

183
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 7: Then send him back to the cages. But don't kill him.

184
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: You speak of the destroying and infury her creature as

185
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,480
if it were something on ethic.

186
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,759
Speaker 7: Pater Walter, Please, for my sake.

187
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 4: I understand that you have entered a plea for postponement

188
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:11,720
of marriage at the Record's Bureau.

189
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,879
Speaker 7: Yes, I was too upset to go through with it.

190
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 5: It came as a great disappointment to me.

191
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,279
Speaker 7: I'm sorry.

192
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 4: I was hoping that link to a stable personality such

193
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,159
as mine, you might settle down if you were married

194
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:30,320
to me. I might even be persuaded to send him

195
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,519
back to the cages. Instead of having him destroyed.

196
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:41,039
Speaker 7: Think it over if I refuse the choice as yours, Well,

197
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,519
my dear, perhaps you're right. I suppose I ought to

198
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:51,240
be rational about this. After all, he's an imperfect.

199
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 5: I'm glad you've come to your senses.

200
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 7: When can we be married tomorrow? If you like, the

201
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,000
sooner the better.

202
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 4: Let me talk to the custodian please. Hello, this is

203
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,080
the Director of Emotional Stability for the third oblong. I

204
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,879
would like you to cancel the execution of Specimen x

205
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,720
J twelve, turn him over to be remanded permanently to

206
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:22,519
the genetic cages. You'd better go. I'll pick you up

207
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,840
and say an hour and we'll make plans.

208
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 7: All right, Yes, yes, of course.

209
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: Hello, this is the Director of Emotional Stability Again. I

210
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:45,519
want you to cancel that last order. Proceed with the execution,

211
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:50,080
but under conditions of absolute secrecy. No, don't use the

212
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:56,240
lethal chamber. Take him through the upper level to the tunnels. Yes, yes,

213
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,039
I'll issue a pass for the radiation checkpoint.

214
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 5: Into the elevator. Very well, why are we going toward

215
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,639
the surface. The cages are on the lower levels.

216
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,759
Speaker 3: Radiation check I've never done that before.

217
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 5: New procedure.

218
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:33,039
Speaker 8: Walk Oh, you can't go beyond this point.

219
00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: There is radioactivity in the tunnels.

220
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: I have a pass from the Director of Emotional Stability

221
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,120
for the third oblong special mission. I'll open the air lock,

222
00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:57,120
march inside.

223
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:53,919
Speaker 5: Turn around.

224
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 8: So this is how they get rid of the imperfects

225
00:14:58,799 --> 00:14:59,840
before you dispose of me?

226
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, help security Security. What's happened? The prisoner struck me.

227
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,000
He escaped into the tunnels.

228
00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 7: He won't last long.

229
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,039
Speaker 9: Can you go after him?

230
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,879
Speaker 11: I could send a robot, but it isn't worth the trouble.

231
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,720
There's no way back from the tunnels except through here.

232
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,600
The only other direction he can go is toward the surface,

233
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,320
and the closer he gets, the hotter the radiation. Oh,

234
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,559
I think you can consider your prisoner officially dead.

235
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 7: No, thank you, Walter.

236
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: You look very beautiful, my dear, very beautiful than you.

237
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,799
The wedding will be a small affair. The director of

238
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:57,960
end the crime control, the chief of the security.

239
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:00,519
Speaker 7: Was he returned to the cages.

240
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,919
Speaker 4: Why must you spoil it? Well, as a matter of fact,

241
00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:10,080
there was a little difficulty. Difficulty, Yes, you see x

242
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:14,320
J twelve escaped, Oh, where he struck a guard and

243
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,799
ran off into the tunnel.

244
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: The tunnels. But that's your death.

245
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,919
Speaker 4: He's free to return anytime he chooses. Don't become upset.

246
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 6: Dollar.

247
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 7: You planned it, didn't you.

248
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:26,799
Speaker 4: Walter stability, Darling, stability, stability.

249
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 12: Here's what I think of stability.

250
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,039
Speaker 9: State your business.

251
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,159
Speaker 7: I'm Professor Britton of the Genetic Institute.

252
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,639
Speaker 9: You can't go into the tunnels, Professor.

253
00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 7: You'll have to let me buy on the fiance of

254
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,559
the Director of Emotional Stability. Oh, I suppose you're after

255
00:16:57,559 --> 00:16:58,320
the one who escaped.

256
00:16:58,399 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 5: Yes, he's quite dangerous.

257
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 7: Handnder stand I'm well armed.

258
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be better to send a robot.

259
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,839
Speaker 7: I'm quite capable of handling him. He was my subject.

260
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:07,839
Speaker 5: All right, miss, it's your risk.

261
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 7: H checkpoint.

262
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 6: This is the Director of Emotional Stability.

263
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.

264
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: If Professor Burton tries to pass the checkpoint, I want

265
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:27,880
to take it into custoder.

266
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,599
Speaker 13: Professor Burton just passed her, she said, vidiot. But sir,

267
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,799
she said, she.

268
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 6: Said, stop up. Send robots after a get hop back.

269
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 13: Yes, sir, at once, sir, Robot control checkpoint to robot

270
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,079
control order out all televocal robots into the tunnels. Have

271
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,359
them bring back any humans. This is a first priority order.

272
00:17:56,599 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 7: Orrin, Orrin, Orrin, Orrin, Orren, Horren Horren. Where are you,

273
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:15,799
Horren Horren? It's Lois this way behind the rock over here, Oh, darling, darlings,

274
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,519
I was Why did you come here?

275
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 5: It's suicide.

276
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:21,559
Speaker 7: Dear darling, are you all right so far? You've got

277
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:24,200
to turn back, give yourself up. You can't stay here.

278
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:26,680
The radiation is plus four at this point. It gets

279
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,039
worse as you approach the surface.

280
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 5: Lois, Darling, go back.

281
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 7: What will you do?

282
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 9: I'm going in here that you can.

283
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 8: I can.

284
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:33,559
Speaker 5: I'm going to the surface.

285
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 7: It's certain death. Not even the robots can survive it.

286
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 8: At least I'll be the first human in eleven hundred

287
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,720
years to see what the surface of the earth looks like.

288
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,559
Speaker 7: Come back with me, then, I'm going with you. Don't

289
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,759
try to stop me, Doling. There's nothing to go back

290
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,279
to now, nothing but Walter in emotional stability.

291
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:50,319
Speaker 5: You really want to come with me?

292
00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 9: Yes, you know what it means.

293
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 7: I don't care.

294
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: My mother used to believe there was a life after death,

295
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:03,480
a place called We'll believe it too. No, I can't

296
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:03,880
let you go.

297
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 7: I love you, see I know how to say it.

298
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:15,880
Now say it again? Horn I love you. What's that

299
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,759
it sounds like or it's a robot patrol. They're looking

300
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:20,079
for us?

301
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 9: All right, come on this way, Warren way. It can't

302
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,039
be much father time.

303
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:39,839
Speaker 7: Robots they're coming. I can see their lights now.

304
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,559
Speaker 5: Listen mid stop.

305
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: The lights is swinging round horn. They see us.

306
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 8: Come on, look he us.

307
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,079
Speaker 9: Look ahead.

308
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 5: You can see the lights reflecting from something.

309
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 7: It looks like a lead doors. Come on through.

310
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 9: That must me some way to close it here.

311
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 12: Let let me help.

312
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 5: Ah, Well, they won't get through that, it's solid lead, Arren.

313
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,519
Speaker 7: I feel so strange. Where are we?

314
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:27,519
Speaker 5: I don't know.

315
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 7: Look up there a huge round light.

316
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: Lois, Yes, Auren, Lois. That's Luna, the moon. We're on

317
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:42,240
the surface.

318
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 7: How strange and red everything looks. How it glows.

319
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 5: It's the radioactivity.

320
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,799
Speaker 7: Quiet and peaceful and deadly.

321
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: Sit here and rest a while.

322
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 7: Put your arm around me, Arren, Oran, I'm afraid, Oran,

323
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,720
we're gonna die.

324
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:03,559
Speaker 5: I don't think about that.

325
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 8: Just think about us alone, the first humans to stand

326
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,799
on the surface of Earth in eleven hundred years. That

327
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,000
door must have been placed there by the last handful

328
00:21:16,039 --> 00:21:18,720
of survivors who went underground after the Atomic Wars.

329
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:22,319
Speaker 7: Those other lights, the small ones, they must be stars.

330
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:26,319
Or I'm so tired.

331
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 5: Go to sleep, Darling. Put your head on my shoulder

332
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:32,079
and sleep.

333
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:56,279
Speaker 7: Hold me, Oran, hold me very close, Oran, mmmmm, Oran,

334
00:21:56,319 --> 00:22:01,200
wake up? Mm hmm what. Look it's light. The whole

335
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,160
universe is light.

336
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:03,319
Speaker 4: Are in?

337
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,039
Speaker 7: How beautiful? Look?

338
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 5: This must be the heaven my mother talked about.

339
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,079
Speaker 7: See the plants all green and fresh, and the birds,

340
00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:14,880
how strange they look?

341
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,079
Speaker 5: Laws this, this isn't heaven.

342
00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:22,039
Speaker 7: But we must be dead orin we should be dead.

343
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,559
Speaker 5: The radiation by all the laws of nature, Yes, by.

344
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,599
Speaker 7: All the laws of nature, Orn Horn, we're not dead.

345
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,000
This is earth and we're alive. We're not going to die.

346
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,559
Speaker 5: But low is the radiation. It's present.

347
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 7: You can see it's affect Lauren. Did you ever hear

348
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,640
of geotropism? There is a natural law of adaptation by

349
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,279
which an organism will try to adjust itself to its

350
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,000
environment by changing. It's called geotropism. Don't you see all

351
00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,319
these generations we've been bombarded by radiation filtering down through

352
00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:51,799
the earth. Each successive generation must have inherited some degree

353
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:54,599
of immunity. But Horn, if they had heard this, don't

354
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,119
you see we're immune we're probably the first generation to

355
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,519
inherit sufficient immunity.

356
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 14: Telling If that's true, then then we can transmit that immunity.

357
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:09,920
We can pass it along to our children, candy to

358
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,039
their children. Come on, we'll have to find food and water.

359
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:18,839
The practical wife, Wait a minute, what are you doing

360
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,599
with that rock? I want to scratch something on the

361
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,000
outside of this led door.

00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:38,960
