1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:05,759
Speaker 1: Count down.

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: We're blast off x minus five minus four minus three

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:23,679
minus two x minus one. Fire from the far horizons

4
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:26,600
of the unknown, come transcribed tales of new dimensions in

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,320
time and space. These are stories of the future adventures

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,759
in which you'll live in a million, could be years,

7
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:40,280
on a thousand, maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company presents

8
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:59,600
xxx minus minus one the Night's story Mars is Heaven.

9
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:18,040
When the first space rocket lands on Mars, what will

10
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:22,680
we find only the ruins of a dead and deserted planet,

11
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,120
or will there be life, intelligent life in some strange

12
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,680
form that we can only imagine. Will we be welcomed

13
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,280
with open arms, or will the Martians treat us as invaders?

14
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:44,280
Only one thing is certain. Someday a giant metal ship

15
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,120
will take off from Earth to travel through the black

16
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,040
velocities the silent gulfs of space, to descend at last

17
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:57,159
into the darkness of the upper Martian atmospheres. And on

18
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,239
that day man will finally all the answers. The day

19
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:05,319
we first land on Mars.

20
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,879
Speaker 3: Now hear this, NA, hear this approaching critical decceleration, fastened

21
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,680
gravity suits stand by the land.

22
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: There it is. We've intersected the course vector, Sir, all right,

23
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,400
mister Lustick, over to manual control. I sir, masters sound

24
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:40,039
General quarters. I say, what do you make of the terrain.

25
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:42,520
There seems to be a heavy ground, miss Captain. We

26
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:44,400
won't be able to use the infra red lights and

27
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,719
we'll have to come in on radar. There's not a

28
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,439
little risky, sir, landing in the dark. I'd rather run

29
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:52,199
the danger of a blind landing, Lieutenant, and come in

30
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:55,120
without the cover of darkness. Remember, we don't know what

31
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,240
kind of reception is waiting for us down there.

32
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:04,879
Speaker 3: Air speed five hundred altitude now four thousand, Bridge to

33
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,039
engine room, stand by for deceleration, Fire forward tubes one

34
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:13,120
and three.

35
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: Steady as she goes, mister Lustick, as she goes.

36
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: There as speed one hundred altitude one thousand.

37
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: They don't ready to get all level of stretch. Get

38
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:32,280
a headset, skits down, get checked altitude five hundred four

39
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:40,439
three fifty three up a point now, all right, let's

40
00:03:40,479 --> 00:04:02,039
shut her down. Cut the par master's white battle stations,

41
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,120
I said, all secure.

42
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: Well, gentlemen, gentlemen, we're.

43
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:13,479
Speaker 1: Now on Mars April twentieth, nineteen eighty seven, or thirty

44
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,959
three Greenwich time ended up in the log message. I said, well, gentlemen,

45
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,040
it's less than two hours till dawn. As soon as

46
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,920
it's light, we'll send out a landing party. Masters, get

47
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:36,040
me an all over hookup, road set up. I'll hear

48
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,920
this all right, man, the smoking lamp is lit. Well,

49
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,199
we're on Mars, the first man in ship from Earth

50
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,920
to land. We don't know what we're going to find

51
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,439
or what dangers we may face. We're seventeen men on

52
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:57,560
an alien world, and it's up to us whether we

53
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,680
ever get home again. Next few hours should tell the story.

54
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:07,079
And I want instant obedience to all commands. I'll court

55
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,360
marshall the first man who doesn't come to when he's ordered.

56
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,439
And one other thing. We may be on Mars, but

57
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:16,920
this is still a United States Naval vessel. Officers will

58
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,279
conduct a personal and weapons inspection in one hour. That's

59
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:27,399
all inspection, Captain. Now, mister Lestig, we've got an hour

60
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,600
and a half to sweat out before we find out

61
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:34,399
what's outside that airlock. I'd rather have a man worried

62
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:39,839
about his stripes about what's waiting outside on Mars.

63
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,639
Speaker 3: Now I hear this landing party report to forward air

64
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:02,600
lot Captain Black, Lieutenant Hinston, Lieutenant and doctor Horse report

65
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:07,680
immediately the forward air lock. It's now landing time minus five.

66
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Hell paging us? Uh you ready, Doctor Heist, Yes, mister Lustic, as.

67
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: Ready as I will ever be. Come on, let's get

68
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:24,199
in the lock. Aink s Elastic and Horse reporting in

69
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,360
the air lock very well.

70
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: So the Captain will join you. Four minutes to go,

71
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,040
at least the captain would get here.

72
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:36,519
Speaker 5: What difference does it make?

73
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,399
Speaker 1: I just want to get it over with, that's all.

74
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:40,519
Anybody got a cigarette?

75
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:40,959
Speaker 6: Yeah?

76
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 7: I think you're smoking too much? Lieutenant Plastic, Are you nervous?

77
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I offer for your horse?

78
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:49,519
Speaker 7: Wondering what's hidden outside underneath that ground missed? I've been

79
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,319
giving it some thought. It'll be very interesting to find out.

80
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:56,240
A very unusual planet, Mars. Why it has an atmosphere,

81
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,120
A wonderful thing, an atmosphere where you find one who

82
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,000
find light in Martians.

83
00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:06,519
Speaker 1: What do you think they'll look like?

84
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,639
Speaker 5: Who knows? Intelligent life can take many forms.

85
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,199
Speaker 8: I mean they may have green skins and eyes on

86
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,439
stalks or something.

87
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,079
Speaker 7: The comic book conception is possible, of course, or they

88
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,079
may have developed beyond us. Perhaps they have a science

89
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,759
that can produce weapons far more dangerous than our atomic missiles.

90
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:27,279
Speaker 1: You think we may have to fight our way up, After.

91
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,519
Speaker 5: All, we are invaders. I am this landing time minus two.

92
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: All right, all right, we heard this, and I'd like

93
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:39,839
to find outside that air lock.

94
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:43,399
Speaker 1: Go over Illinois. Ever been there?

95
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 8: Lasted only Chicago. You want to see my hometown. Green lawns,

96
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:49,040
big white houses.

97
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,519
Speaker 1: Sounds like my hometown.

98
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 8: My grandmother used to have one of those ion deer

99
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,439
on the lawn. Every Halloween. We'd paint another color. One

100
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,480
time we painted in black and white, like a allsteined cow.

101
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:00,680
Where does your family live, doctor Houst, I have no family.

102
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:02,839
Speaker 9: When I was a child, they were guessed to death

103
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,519
in the Daha concentration camp.

104
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: Tough, No, it has its advantages. I have no ties

105
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:08,360
on earth.

106
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 9: Nothing to lose now, I imagine I'm the only one

107
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:13,839
on board who is free to enjoy our present peculiar position.

108
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:21,439
Speaker 1: All right, masters, you can button it up now, I said, Well, gentlemen,

109
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,040
check your sidearms. In one minute, will be the first

110
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:26,199
men to set foot on Mars.

111
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,279
Speaker 7: Quite an honor, right, as long as the metals are

112
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:30,519
not rewarded posthumously.

113
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,639
Speaker 1: Still uneasy, doctor.

114
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:35,879
Speaker 7: Horst, Captain Black, I've been uneasy ever since I can remember,

115
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:38,120
on Earth and on Mars.

116
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Well thirty seconds, give me the intercom phone listing. Yes,

117
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,879
it masters battle stations. It will be manned till we return.

118
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:51,080
If we're not back in two hours, I want no

119
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,840
rescue party sent out. Blast off and save the ship.

120
00:08:53,879 --> 00:09:02,679
You understand, all right? Five seconds four three two one.

121
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:18,840
Lustig opened the outer air lock. I said, it's fresh air.

122
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,360
Let's go.

123
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 10: Right now.

124
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,399
Speaker 11: Take it easy.

125
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: It's too dark to move fast. Quiet, isn't it? Not

126
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,200
even a wind? Can't see anything from miss groundness. I

127
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:41,639
don't know what's out here, all right, Come on, what.

128
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: The chips and I can swear it.

129
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: That sounds like a rooster.

130
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 5: I don't hear it anymore. Very homely but unlikely sound

131
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:52,480
a rooster crowing on moss.

132
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Higston, I said, set that machine gun twenty five yards

133
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,000
to the flank. We'll stay here to the ground. Miss Lifts,

134
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,440
I said, what do you make of the ground?

135
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,279
Speaker 9: Horse grass, plain grass. You can see some large foliage

136
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,480
there with the mists thin down.

137
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: Hold you fire, you fool, I hear, Captain, some kind

138
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,159
of wild animal.

139
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 9: I hit it.

140
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,759
Speaker 12: I could see the tracers, but it's still standing. Come on, Horst,

141
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,559
doctor Berger.

142
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 5: Off ahead admiring the wild animal.

143
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: Careful, Herst, wait for us. I don't worry, Captain.

144
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:23,399
Speaker 5: It's an iron deer.

145
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: A lawn on the morn. That's impossible.

146
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,279
Speaker 5: It's hollow. Interesting.

147
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 7: Isn't that a whitewashed Victorian iron deer sitting on a

148
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:34,000
lawn in the middle of Mars.

149
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:34,919
Speaker 1: I don't understand.

150
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:36,759
Speaker 5: Look around the mists, lifting the captain.

151
00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:39,919
Speaker 12: Look there it's a house, a regular old fashioned house.

152
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Sir, on Mars. Good lord, I haven't seen carved scrolls

153
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:50,679
and gingerbread like that in years. Look at that port

154
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:53,600
swing the geraniums.

155
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,919
Speaker 12: There, that's where it was a rooster.

156
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: Captain, you give me the glasses, lustig. I want to

157
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,399
take a look for that front when there's an upright piano,

158
00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:07,759
some sheet music on it, plastic, it's it's beautiful. Ohio,

159
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,120
it can't be their, Horst, Horst, do you think the

160
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,200
civilization of two planets could be identical?

161
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 9: I don't know that specific variety of geraniums is only

162
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,080
fifty years old or not.

163
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: Is it logical that they should develop in Mars? How

164
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,159
about that port swing of the piano and beautiful, Ohio,

165
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:25,480
Why it's impossible, cap and black.

166
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,879
Speaker 10: This looks like the town I was born in. No,

167
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:34,200
it looks like my hometown too. I thought it something, Sir,

168
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,639
it's the only solution. Maybe maybe we're not the first

169
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,480
ship to reach.

170
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,759
Speaker 1: Marsmar, don't be ridiculous, lusting. Oh how else can you

171
00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:43,159
explain it? I suppose some scientists got together.

172
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,919
Speaker 10: They invented some space ship and planet a colony year.

173
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,399
Speaker 1: That's see the only ends that's impossible, ustic Ben's space trouble.

174
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,399
It couldn't be secret. Do you have any idea what

175
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:54,600
ships cost, what industrial powers needed? No, there's got to

176
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,840
be some logical reason.

177
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 5: I think perhaps we might find out. Captain. A light

178
00:11:58,279 --> 00:11:59,399
just went on and then huh.

179
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Taston cover that door of the machine gun. I say,

180
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,080
all right, come on, horseman, we're going to ring that doorbell.

181
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,679
There's got to be a scientific answer to ales.

182
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 9: And there's something moving in there. Stand back, horse give

183
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,039
me a clear shot. And are you're sure a bullet

184
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:18,960
can stop a martian?

185
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 11: Steady?

186
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,399
Speaker 13: Can I help you?

187
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: All right?

188
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 5: Will we?

189
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,639
Speaker 13: If you're selling anything, it's much to earn it?

190
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 4: No?

191
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: No, no, wait, just a minute, what town.

192
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,639
Speaker 13: Is this What do you mean are you census takers?

193
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:31,759
Speaker 8: No?

194
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 7: No, we're strangers here. We want to know how this

195
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:35,879
town got here.

196
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:36,799
Speaker 14: Is this a game?

197
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: No, no, it's not a game. We're from Earth.

198
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:39,919
Speaker 13: From where?

199
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 5: From Earth?

200
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 14: Do you mean?

201
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,399
Speaker 13: Out of the ground? Are you sure you're feeling well?

202
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Madam? We came in a flying ship across place. We're

203
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,639
from the third planet Earth. This is Mars. Now do

204
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,759
you understand Mars?

205
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 13: You go away. Now you're here, I'll call my husband

206
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,320
from stairs and you'll chase you go on.

207
00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:59,279
Speaker 5: This is Mars, isn't it.

208
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 13: This is Green Lake, Wisconsin, in the United States of America,

209
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,600
bounded on the east by the Advantage and on the

210
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:08,240
west by the Pacific. Now go a way, goodbye, Harst.

211
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,159
Speaker 1: Do you suppose it's really possible. I've got to find

212
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:11,799
out more about this.

213
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,039
Speaker 13: I told you, I call my husband.

214
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,519
Speaker 1: Now you go away. You've got to tell me one

215
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,039
thing first. What year is this year?

216
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 13: Nineteen twenty eight? Of course, for goodness sake, you.

217
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: Hear that, Horst, and we know it's nineteen eighty seven,

218
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:28,960
and we know this is Mars. The horse is impossible

219
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,840
that we got pouled up made some tremendous blunder circle

220
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:32,879
around and landed back on.

221
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,159
Speaker 5: Earth in nineteen twenty eight.

222
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Well maybe some switch in time or dimension. Could we

223
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:40,200
have shifted somehow gone gone backward in time? Oh, of

224
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,320
course this won't hold water. It's it's not logical. We've

225
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,120
we checked every mile. We went past the moon, out

226
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,360
into space where we're on Mars lustick out that point

227
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Haaston in the rear. Keep that gun at half load,

228
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:55,600
I said first there there's got to be some cold

229
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,279
logical solution. Can but that house down the street? The

230
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,279
flight were the green shutters lest like? What's the matter?

231
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:02,720
I never thought.

232
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 11: Nothing?

233
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Let they come back here running for that house. That's crazy,

234
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,399
fool leaprin quick bust.

235
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 12: They stopped, come down off that port. Never what the

236
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:14,919
devil do you think you're doing?

237
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:20,159

00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: What is going on here?

240
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,679
Speaker 11: Elb see it's been so many years?

241
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 14: How you've grown?

242
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,039
Speaker 11: So good to see.

243
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 10: Captain, Grandma. I want you to meet my friends. This

Speaker 1: We died, ever since you what? Oh, yes, they've been

250
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:49,759
dead thirty years.

251
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,639

We're alive again.

253
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,639
Speaker 1: That's all you mean to tell me that Mars is

254
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:01,120
heaven own nuns and no, oh we oh is here.

255
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:05,360

our boys in the service. Ed was the best pilot

00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 14: It's just a shame. Everybody else is so happy.

331
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 9: Well, I never remembered my family, missus Black. All I

332
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:20,599
know is they were gassed at Duckhard during the.

333
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:21,319
Speaker 5: Second World War.

334
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 9: When I was liberated, I was in delirium three months.

335
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,480
I cannot remember anything before them, A psychapic phenomena.

336
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 6: That's terrible. Isn't there anything anybody can do?

337
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:34,319
Speaker 9: I don't want to remember. I have not had a

338
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,480
pleasant life. I prefer to be free of emotional entanglements.

339
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,599
They interfere with a scientific approach.

340
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 14: I'm sorry, doctor Horst, I'll get it.

341
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,039
Speaker 1: That's our ring long and three shorts. I remember that.

342
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 6: Well, maybe we'd better call it a night. You must

343
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,720
be getting tired, Johnny, I'd better be going back.

344
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,039
Speaker 5: To the ship.

345
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 11: Nonsense, you stay the night, we'd see it.

346
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 6: I just couldn't rest thinking of you all alone. On shit,

347
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,440
I'll be all right, Well, good night.

348
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 16: Wait a minute, doctor Horst. That phone message was for

349
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:10,799
you me. Yes, that's right, a message from Anna.

350
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 9: No.

351
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,319
Speaker 5: I don't know there.

352
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 6: She must be an old friend, isn't that nice.

353
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: I don't I should was for me. I don't remember

354
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:21,480
any Anna, she asked if you were better.

355
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,839
Speaker 14: Perhaps she's someone who knew you at Dahoo.

356
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,759
Speaker 16: She said, she's coming over here first thing in the morning,

357
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:28,640
so you have to stay over.

358
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:29,759
Speaker 5: Yes, but that it.

359
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Then you stay here, Horst. You'll can bunk with me

360
00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:32,920
in my old room. Yeah.

361
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 11: But Johnny, we thought.

362
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 14: You'd like to be with Edward so you could talk

363
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,279
the way you're used to.

364
00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:39,519
Speaker 1: We can't put doctor Horse on the day bed. I

365
00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:41,000
think we better share the room tonight.

366
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 16: There be plenty of time for talking, ed Yes, I

367
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:44,480
guess so.

368
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:46,599
Speaker 1: I suppose I better dropped back to the ship. You

369
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,160
know ed security check.

370
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 14: But why do you have to do that here?

371
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mama, is no good reason. I guess

372
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,839
it was. Suppose we skip it tonight. Well, good night, everybody.

373
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 14: Oh, it's good have your home journey.

374
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: It's good to be home. Mom got black? Huh you asleep?

375
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 4: No?

376
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:32,079
Speaker 1: No, I've been thinking about what we were expecting green

377
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,519
skinned Martians. All the time. There was only mom and

378
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:39,279
dad and Edward waiting. That's funny. What tricks your imagination

379
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,519
can play on you? Oh, I guess Mars is heaven horse.

380
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 5: You know, I've been thinking about Martians too, happen.

381
00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:54,079
Speaker 9: Just suppose suppose there were Martians and they saw us land,

382
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,240
and suppose they thought of us as invaders. What would

383
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,839
be the best weapon they could use against our atom bomb?

384
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,799
Speaker 1: Huh? I don't see what you're getting at.

385
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:04,039
Speaker 5: I would want to disarm us.

386
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 9: First, huh, to wipe out all suspicions, to make us

387
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,200
feel at home.

388
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,519
Speaker 5: Suppose this house isn't real.

389
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 9: Suppose the people are just images stolen from our own

390
00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:22,079
memories by Martians, created for us by telepathy hypnotis.

391
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: That's the craziest theory I ever heard.

392
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,759
Speaker 9: Maybe that's why there was no one for me, because

393
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,160
in all my life there is no happy memory, no

394
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:31,480
real love person, not even my mother. I don't remember her,

395
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:34,599
only the piles of rotting compass of Daha. There was

396
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:40,119
no happy emotion for these people to recreate. About that

397
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,599
phone call Anna, Yes, Anna, I didn't remember who she was,

398
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,319
but I do now. I just remember when I was

399
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,359
freed from Daha, sick, delirious, I raved about a wonderful

400
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,519
kind nurse named Anna that took care of her.

401
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:55,759
Speaker 5: You were, It's logical she's coming to see you tomorrow.

402
00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:58,359
But there was no Anna. I've been nursed by a man.

403
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 9: Anna was only and there's only one way they could

404
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,200
have learned about her by reading my subconscious mind.

405
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 5: That's impossible, Horse.

406
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 9: Why the whole crew was thinking of home? I suppose

407
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,440
the martians read our mind? Yes, but if there are martians,

408
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,400
if there are, they have a separated each man in

409
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:23,680
a different house, sleeping, trusting, no one at the guns,

410
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,480
and I left my pistol downstairs. Do you think there's

411
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:37,559
something to this horse? It's a perfect trap, Captain. Who

412
00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:41,160
would suspect his own mother, his grandparents?

413
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 5: How easy? Just a knife in the heart of each

414
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:46,160
sleeping man.

415
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,799
Speaker 1: That's impossible, Horset.

416
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 9: But we've got to get back to the ship. Listen,

417
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,240
the crickets have stopped.

418
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:56,599
Speaker 14: Come on.

419
00:23:57,279 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 5: We don't know when to be changed back to, but

420
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:00,920
they really are.

421
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 11: Where are you going? John?

422
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:15,079
Speaker 1: Ahead? We we wanted to drink of water. That's that's all.

423
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 14: Ed.

424
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 16: You're not mercy, John.

425
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 5: You don't want a dream.

426
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: Look out, you don't want it. It's changing.

427
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,039
Speaker 5: He's a mass.

428
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Run, horse, run, you can get away.

429
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 15: This horse, har fire, Hello, Hello, can you hear me earth?

430
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:41,599
Speaker 9: This?

431
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: This is Captain John Black the x R fifty three,

432
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,559
calling from Mars. I've blocked myself in the ship, but

433
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,720
they've crippled it. I can't take off a fire of

434
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:51,839
the guns, and they're coming for me now, the Martians.

435
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,039
I'm all alone here. All the rest are dead, Kinkst

436
00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:56,319
and Lastic. Doctor Horse, Poor Horse, he didn't even reach

437
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,880
the door. Listen, listen. They're trying to break through the

438
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:03,839
Edward and bomb cast all the folks. But they're changing now,

439
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:08,359
they're melting and changing back into their Martian Can you understand,

440
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:11,519
Martian black men? They don't think that Mars was heaven

441
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:13,759
and we fell into the trap. Can you hear me, Earth,

442
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,079
You've got this out the next rocket listen, tell my brother.
