[ Gunfire ] [ Shouting ]
HEY, LOOK!
TONY! COME ON!
[ Doug ] TONY, OVER HERE!
BRITISH AND ARABS FIGHTING, MIDDLE EAST OR NORTH AFRICA,
JUDGING FROM THEIR CLOTHING AND WEAPONS,
I'D SAY IT WAS LATE 19th OR EARLY 20th CENTURY,
WHATEVER THE TIME OR PLACE, IT'S DESERT,
WE'D BETTER HELP OURSELF TO SOME WATER AND WEAPONS, COME ON,
WE'D BETTER GET OUT OF HERE! THE TRAFFIC'S TOO HEAVY!
WHAT IS THAT?
WHOEVER HE IS, HE'S GOT COMPANY,
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHAT WE ARE DOES NOT MATTER,
WE ARE HERE TO DESTROY YOU,
FOLLOW HIM! MOVE!
THEY'RE GONNA KILL THEM! CAN YOU RETRIEVE?
NOT WITHOUT BRINGING THE FOUR OF THEM BACK, ALL RIGHT, THEN BRING THEM,
KEEP ON MOVING!
‐ KEEP MOVING! ‐ [ Male Voice ] STOP!
WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT, SOMETHING'S HAPPENING THERE,
[ Male Voice ] DO NOT DESTROY THE EARTHLINGS, BRING THEM HERE TO ME,
YOU HEARD THE LEADER, COME WITH US,
THEY SEPARATED, CAN YOU RETRIEVE NOW?
WE'LL TRY, LOCK IN YOUR SIGNALS,
SIGNALS LOCKED, READY TO RETRIEVE,
RETRIEVE!
WHAT HAPPENED? I DON'T KNOW,
LOOK!
YOU OF THE TIME TUNNEL,
LISTEN AND LISTEN WELL,
I KNOW THAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAVE THE TWO TIME TRAVELERS WHO HAVE JUST ARRIVED,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THEM AGAIN,,,
OR TO INTERFERE WITH US IN ANY WAY FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS,
IF YOU DO,
YOU SHALL BE DESTROYED,
[ Narrator ] THE TIME TUNNEL,
WHO ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU SPEAKING FROM?
THERE IS NO TIME FOR YOUR INFANTILE QUESTIONING,
YOU HAVE HEARD OUR DEMANDS,
YOU WILL OBEY THEM,
TRY TO GET IT BACK!
NOTHING RESPONDS, OUR POWER'S GONE,
WHAT WAS THE LAST FIX WE HAD ON TONY AND DOUG?
LATITUDE: 16 DEGREES SOUTH, LONGITUDE: 3230 EAST,
‐ THEY FELL INTO THE SUDAN, NORTH CENTRAL AFRICA, ‐ TIME PERIOD?
NOVEMBER 2, 1883,
THOSE CREATURES WE SAW DIDN'T EXIST IN THE 19th CENTURY,
TRY TELLING THAT TO TONY AND DOUG, RAY, SEE ABOUT RESTORING POWER, QUICKLY,
GENERAL, THAT THREAT HE MADE‐‐
HANDS OFF FOR TWO HOURS, OR WE'LL BE DESTROYED,
FORGET IT! WE'VE GOT TO GET TONY AND DOUG OUT OF THERE FAST!
STOP,
‐ HERE? WHY? ‐ WE HAVE REACHED OUR DESTINATION,
THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA TAKE US INSIDE THAT MOUNTAIN,
WELL, AT LEAST WE'LL BE IN THE SHADE,
STOP, OR YOU'LL DIE,
A FORCE FIELD,
A COUPLE MORE STEPS, AND YOU'D HAVE HAD IT,
[ Alien Laughs ] WHAT NOW?
[ High‐frequency Signal Beeping ]
SO THAT'S WHERE THE FORCE FIELD COMES FROM,
FOLLOW ME,
PROCEED!
WHY ARE WE HERE?
MY LEADER DREW THIS TIME AND PLACE BY LOT, NOW MOVE!
BACK UP,
[ Signal Beeping ]
STOP!
BRING THEM HERE,
WHAT IS ALL THIS? WHO ARE YOU?
I WILL ANSWER YOU IN YOUR RIDICULOUS TONGUE,,,
SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO POSSIBILITY OF ANY MISUNDERSTANDING,
I COME FROM THE PLANET ARISTOS,
I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO CONQUER THIS PLANET,,,
DURING THE TIME PERIOD KNOWN ON YOUR EARTH,,,
AS THE YEAR 1883,
OF COURSE, 1883,
THE BATTLE OF KHARTOUM, THE BRITISH AND THE ARABS,
WHAT DOES THAT MISERABLE LITTLE SKIRMISH HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?
IT HAS A GREAT DEAL TO DO WITH YOU,
THERE'S A LARGE NUMBER OF BRITISH TROOPS OUT THERE,
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THIS COMPLEX OF YOURS WILL BE OVERRUN BY THEM,
I HARDLY THINK SO,
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD SEE THE EXTENT OF IT,
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE WELL ARMED,
IN TWO OF YOUR EARTH HOURS, OUR FIRST MISSILES WILL BE READY TO FIRE,
THEY WILL HIT LONDON, THE MAJOR CAPITAL OF YOUR WORLD,
YOUR PLANET WILL BE SURRENDERED 24 HOURS AFTER THE FIRST ATTACK,
WHY? WHAT ARE YOU AFTER?
CONQUEST OF THE GALAXY,
A TASK SET FOR ME BY THE ELDERS TO PROVE MY ABILITY TO BE A PRINCE OF ARISTOS,
YOU MEAN, IT'S A TEST? A GAME?
AND FOR THAT, YOU WOULD KILL MILLIONS OF OUR PEOPLE?
[ Chuckles ]
WHETHER HUMANS LIVE OR DIE IS NOT IMPORTANT,
ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW YOU CAN SERVE ME,
TAKE THIS ONE OUT TO THE DESERT,
PUT A DEHYDRATION SETTING ON YOUR WEAPON,
IT WILL APPEAR AS IF YOU DIED OF THIRST,,,
IN THE EVENT YOU WERE FOUND BY ANY HUMANS IN THE AREA,
TAKE HIM AWAY,
PUT THAT ONE IN THE EXTRACTOR,
[ Device Whirring ]
IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD TO STRUGGLE,
YOU'RE BEING HELD THERE BY A MAGNETIC FORCE,
WE CAN HOLD YOU THERE INDEFINITELY,
[ Panting ] WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH ME?
YOUR TIME TUNNEL‐‐ IT OPERATES ON A DIFFERENT PRINCIPLE THAN OURS,
IT FASCINATES ME, WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH THIS?
THIS IS A MIND READING DEVICE,
WITH IT, I INTEND TO EXTRACT FROM YOUR BRAIN,,,
ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IT POSSESSES ABOUT YOUR TIME TRAVEL,
‐ AND THEN? ‐ OH, THEN IT WON'T MATTER,
ONCE I HAVE EMPTIED YOUR MIND, YOU WILL BE DEAD,
HOW MUCH LONGER IS IT GONNA BE?
WE'RE TRYING TO CONNECT UP WITH THE MAIN EMERGENCY GENERATORS NOW, GENERAL,
IT SHOULD ONLY BE A FEW MINUTES MORE,
I KNOW I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU, RAY, BUT PLEASE TRY TO HURRY IT UP,
ANN, THAT DATE‐‐ NOVEMBER 2, 1883, HAVE YOU CHECKED IT OUT?
YES, THAT'S THE DAY THE ARABS ATTACKED THE BRITISH IN THE CITY OF KHARTOUM,
WHAT IN BLAZES CAN THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MESS TONY AND DOUG ARE IN?
I THINK WE'RE ALL SET, GENERAL, FINE, WHAT ABOUT YOU, ANN?
YES, IDENTICAL COORDINATES AND TIME SPATIAL FIX AS BEFORE,
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TRY IT,
WELL, WHERE'S DOUG? ANYBODY SEE HIM? NO,
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A FIX ON HIM AT ALL,
SHOULD WE TRY TO PICK UP TONY? NO, WE CAN'T,
THE QUADRANTS STILL OVERLAP,
WE MIGHT PICK UP THAT ALIEN AS WELL, THEN WE MAY HAVE TO,
DOWN THERE,
[ Gunshot ]
‐ STAND RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE! ‐ WAIT A MINUTE, I'M NOT THE ENEMY,
SERGEANT, IF HE MOVES, SHOOT HIM,
PUT YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR HEAD,
LOOK, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO‐‐ SHUT UP! SERGEANT‐‐
WILL YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN? SHUT UP!
SERGEANT, SEARCH HIM,
IT MAY PLEASE YOU TO KNOW YOU DID YOUR JOB VERY WELL,
THE ARABS WIPED OUT MY DETACHMENT BACK THERE,
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME? I KNOW WHO YOU ARE,
ARAB SPIES‐‐ YOU AND YOUR COMPANION,
IT WAS AN ALIEN FROM ANOTHER PLANET, HE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME,
ALIEN INDEED, A FILTHY DESERT KILLER IS WHAT HE IS,
DISGUISED AS YOU ARE IN THAT RIDICULOUS OUTFIT,
ARAB EQUIPMENT, THAT'S ALL THE PROOF I NEED,
SERGEANT, TAKE THIS ALONG AS EVIDENCE,
IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE A LOT MORE THAN YOUR DETACHMENT,
OF ALL THE CHEEK‐‐ HOW DARE YOU THREATEN ME!
I'M NOT THREATENING YOU! I'M TELLING YOU FACTS!
LOOK, THE FIRST THING THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS THAT YOUR ENTIRE ARMY,,,
EN ROUTE TO KHARTOUM IS GONNA BE WIPED OUT, AND THAT COULD HAPPEN ANY MINUTE NOW!
ANOTHER AMBUSH SET UP BY YOU AND THE ARABS?
AND THE SECOND THING IS THAT THERE'S A BASE IN THIS DESERT,,,
THAT'S GONNA LAUNCH AN ATTACK ON THE CITIES OF THIS WORLD,
AND LONDON IS GONNA BE FIRST!
AND WHO'S MANNING THIS BASE? MORE OF YOUR ARABS, I PRESUME?
I TOLD YOU, THEY'RE NOT FROM THIS WORLD,
OH! LOOK,
LOOK, I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
YOUR MASTERY OF UNDERSTATEMENT IS PHENOMENAL,
I'M TAKING YOU ALONG WITH ME TO KHARTOUM, NOW MOVE OUT!
GO ON!
WATCH HIM,
MOVE ON, COME ON, MEN! LET'S GO!
WHOA,
THE ARABS ARE ATTACKING!
YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN DOWN THERE, DIDN'T YOU?
I TRIED TO WARN YOU, BUT IT'S TOO LATE TO WARN THEM!
THE CREAM OF OUR TROOPS DESTROYED BECAUSE OF YOU!
YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE!
I'LL GIVE YOU 10 SECONDS TO TELL ME THE LOCATION OF THAT ARAB HEADQUARTERS,
YOU TALK, OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!
YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS LEFT,
DO YOU TELL ME WHERE THAT ARAB FORCE IS LOCATED,
OR DO I KILL YOU?
I'LL DO EVEN BETTER, CAPTAIN,
I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE WHO PLAN TO DESTROY YOU,
‐ IS THIS ANOTHER TRAP? ‐ YOU'RE LAYING DOWN THE RULES OF THIS LITTLE GAME,
EITHER YOU TRUST ME TO LEAD YOU THERE, OR YOU KILL ME HERE AND NOW,,,
AND NEVER FIND OUT WHERE IT IS,
VERY WELL, LEAD ON,
REMEMBER, ONE FALSE MOVE‐‐
I KNOW, MY LIFE WON'T BE WORTH A PLUGGED NICKEL,
ALL RIGHT, LEAD ON,
HE'S LEADING THOSE BRITISH SOLDIERS BACK TO THE ALIENS' HEADQUARTERS,
OF COURSE, HE HAS TO CONVINCE THE BRITISH CAPTAIN THEY EXIST,
AND I KNOW HE'S GOING TO TRY AND SAVE DOUG,
IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GET A FIX ON DOUG?
I'M RUNNING TAPES NOW, WE SHOULD HAVE AN APPROXIMATE FIX ON THE ALIEN AREA,
GOOD, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE DOUG MAY BE IN, THERE,
BECAUSE YOUR FRIEND HAS MOMENTARILY ELUDED US,
PLEASE HAVE NO FALSE HOPES,
THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF ESCAPING,
[ Chuckles ] MAYBE NOT,
BUT IT WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN GET OUT OF ME THAT'LL HELP YOU,
IF SO, NOTHING'S BEEN LOST EXCEPT YOUR LIFE,
ARE WE READY TO PROCEED? YES,
‐ THE BRAIN MACHINE IS READY, ‐ ACTIVATE,
[ Whirring ]
TRANSCRIBE HIS MIND,
CAN'T YOU GET A LOCK ON THAT? WE'RE TRYING, GENERAL,
WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO HIM?
LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF MEDIEVAL TORTURE,
FUTURISTIC TORTURE, MORE LIKELY,
THERE, THERE! THERE, YOU'RE GETTING IT, CAN YOU RETRIEVE HIM NOW?
WE ONLY HAVE HALF POWER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE TRY IT,
OH, WE CAN'T LET THEM CONTINUE,
LET'S TRY TO GET HIM OUT, SHE'S RIGHT, GO AFTER HIM,
ALL RIGHT, ANN, LOCK IN YOUR SIGNALS,
SIGNALS LOCKED, READY TO RETRIEVE,
RETRIEVE!
SO FAR, HE IS NOT RESPONDING,
INCREASE THE INTENSITY,
HERE IT IS,
IT'S A LOT OF NONSENSE,
THERE'S NO ARAB HEADQUARTERS HERE,
I TOLD YOU I'D TAKE YOU TO THE SPOT WHERE YOUR REAL ENEMIES ARE,
THE ONES WHO ARE PLANNING TO DESTROY THE WORLD,
AND THEY'RE IN THERE,
‐ [ Whinnying ] ‐ DOUG!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE LAST THING I REMEMBER‐‐
TONY,
ISN'T THAT THE FORCE FIELD?
TIME TUNNEL,,, MUST'VE TRANSFERRED ME OUT OF THEIR MACHINE,
WHAT IS THIS MUMBO JUMBO? AND WHO ARE YOU?
THE CAPTAIN'S PART OF A DETACHMENT OF THE KHARTOUM TROOPS,
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM THAT WE'RE ALL IN DANGER, AND I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH LUCK,
NOR WILL YOU HAVE, I'VE PLAYED ALONG WITH YOU AS FAR AS I'M GOING TO,
THE TWO OF YOU HEAD BACK WITH ME TO KHARTOUM,
COME ON,
NO, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE,
CAPTAIN, WITH THE AID OF THAT ROCK,
I BELIEVE I CAN CONVINCE YOU BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT,,,
THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,
VERY WELL, GO AHEAD,
THERE, NOW, THAT SHOULD PROVE SOMETHING TO YOU,
UNLESS YOU FEEL THAT THE ARABS BUILT THAT INVISIBLE FORCE FIELD OUT THERE,
YOU MAKE AS LITTLE SENSE AS THE OTHER ONE,
AND YOUR BAG OF TRICKS CONVINCES ME OF NOTHING,
NOW, ON YOUR WAY BEFORE‐‐
HELLO,
WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS, AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
DON'T BE A FOOL! DO YOU WANT THEM TO KILL US?
ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT, ARE THOSE THE PEOPLE YOU SPOKE ABOUT?
NO, THEY'RE SLAVE WORKERS,
THEIR MASTERS ARE THE ONES WHO PLAN TO ATTACK LONDON AND DESTROY THE WORLD,
WITH WHAT? WITH THOSE?
NO, THEY HAVE POWER SOURCES THAT YOU'VE NEVER DREAMED OF,
IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE‐‐ AND, MIND YOU, I'M NOT YET ACCEPTING ONE WORD OF IT‐‐
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?
ATTACK THEM, DESTROY THEIR BASE,
AND IF YOU ATTACK NOW, THERE MAY STILL BE ENOUGH TIME,
IT MAY BE TOO LATE,
‐ WHAT'S THAT? ‐ THE ALIENS!
TAKE COVER!
[ Gunshot ]
SERGEANT, OVER HERE!
[ Screams ]
YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH,
THEY MUST BE BEINGS FROM ANOTHER PLANET,
THEY ARE, ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO ATTACK LONDON?
IN A FEW HOURS, WE'D BETTER RETREAT FROM HERE,
TAKE UP THE MATTER WITH HEADQUARTERS IN KHARTOUM,
I ONLY HOPE THEY BELIEVE US, COME ON,
RAY, I CAN'T TRACK,
I CAN'T EITHER, GENERAL!
WHAT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER? WE DON'T KNOW,
WE'RE HOLDING OUR FIX, BUT WE CAN'T SEEM TO TRACK THEM,
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER,
YOU CONTINUE TO INTERFERE IN SPITE OF OUR WARNING,
YOU HUMANS HAVE BECOME MOST ANNOYING,
WE ARE NOW GOING TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST YOU,
WHY?
THOSE TWO MEN‐‐ THE TIME TRAVELERS‐‐ THEY WERE SENT THERE BY MISTAKE,
THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR EXISTENCE,
HE'S CUT OFF OUR POWER,
BETTER ADVISE SECURITY, USE MY PRIVATE TIE‐LINE,
IF YOU'RE CONCERNED, THERE'S A VERY SIMPLE ANSWER,
SEND OUR MEN BACK TO US, IT IS TOO LATE FOR THAT,
YOUR CONTROL AREA HAS BEEN SEALED OFF,
YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE ELSE ON YOUR PLANET,
THE DEVICE YOU SEE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED,
YOU HAVE THE 60 MINUTES INDICATED TO ACCOMPLISH OUR DEMANDS,
SEND ALL OTHER PERSONNEL TO THE LEVEL JUST BELOW THE SURFACE,
IF YOU COMPLY, THE OTHERS WILL BE RELEASED,
OTHERWISE, THE DEVICE WILL DESTROY THE TIME TUNNEL,
WE WON'T ABANDON TONY AND DOUG,
IF YOU INTERFERE AGAIN,
YOU WILL BE KILLED IMMEDIATELY,
CHECK THAT DEVICE FOR RADIOACTIVITY,
[ Whirring ]
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? SOME KIND OF INVERSE LASER BURST,
A PROTECTIVE SCREEN TO KEEP US FROM DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE,
WELL, CAN'T YOU NEUTRALIZE IT? NO, GENERAL,
COUNTERACTING POLARITY SCREENS MIGHT HANDLE THE LASER EFFECT,
BUT AS FOR THE DEVICE ITSELF‐‐
SERGEANT JIGGS? SERGEANT JIGGS,
WHY ISN'T THE RED ALERT LINE TO THE PENTAGON STILL OPEN?
IT CUT OFF OUR COMMUNICATIONS,
UNLESS WE CAN FIND SOME WAY TO GET RID OF THIS DEVICE,
WE WON'T HAVE A CHANCE,
HOW MUCH FARTHER TO KHARTOUM, CAPTAIN?
THE FORT AT SHENDI IS JUST PAST THAT RIDGE AHEAD,
AND KHARTOUM IS ANOTHER HOUR AWAY,
‐ SOMETHING WRONG? ‐ A LITTLE MATTER OF TIME, CAPTAIN,
ACCORDING TO DOUG, THOSE ALIENS ARE GONNA RELEASE THEIR MISSILES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR FROM NOW,
I'D ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT,
WE'LL NEED A LARGE FORCE TO OVERCOME THEM IN TIME,
AND THERE, GENTLEMEN, YOU SEE OUR TROOPS‐‐
OUR LOYAL NATIVE TROOPS MOVING INTO ADVANCE POSITION,
THEY WILL OCCUPY THE ENTIRE AREA,,,
OCCUPIED BY THE ALIEN COMPLEX,
IT'LL BE A SIMPLE MATTER TO CONVINCE THE COMMANDER TO ATTACK,
GOOD SHOW, CAPTAIN, SHALL WE GO DOWN AND JOIN 'EM?
[ Gunshot ]
THEY'VE AMBUSHED THE TROOPS!
WE MUST REACH THE COLUMN BEFORE THEY DO,
[ Shouting ]
[ Gunfire Continues ]
STILL TIME TO GET THERE, COME ON!
IT'S TOO LATE, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT NOW,
THEY'VE BEEN ROUTED, WE'D BETTER FALL BACK TO SHENDI WITH THEM,
HMM, IT'S NOT EVEN WARM,
WELL, YOU'VE NEUTRALIZED THE LASER BEAM,
BUT WHATEVER IS INSIDE THERE IS STILL TICKING AWAY,
WE'VE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE, GENERAL,
WHY DON'T WE TRY ATTACKING THE ALIENS' HEADQUARTERS WITH A REVERSE ENERGY BURST?
IT COULD BACKFIRE AND DESTROY ALL OF US,
I KNOW, BUT WHAT OTHER CHOICES HAVE WE?
[ Sighs ] ALL RIGHT,
LET'S HOPE IT WORKS,
BUILD TO FULL POWER,
THE MOMENT AFTER WE MAKE OUR REVERSE, I WANT AN IMAGE,
YOU'LL HAVE IT,,, IF WE'RE STILL HERE,
WE'RE AT POWER, GENERAL?
REVERSE,
‐ WE GOT HIM! ‐ I DON'T THINK SO,
I THINK HIS ENERGY SCREEN CAUGHT MOST OF IT,
LOOK!
YOUR INGENUITY,,,
AMAZES ME,
BUT BY ATTACKING US,
YOU HAVE OPENED YOURSELVES TO COMPLETE RETALIATION,
WHEN THE ANDROAN DEVICE EXPLODES,
ALL LIFE WITHIN YOUR TUNNEL COMPLEX WILL CEASE TO EXIST,
WHAT CAN YOU HOPE TO GAIN BY THAT?
YOUR TIME TUNNEL‐‐
AN EXCELLENT MEANS FOR FURTHER CONQUEST IN OTHER TIME PERIODS,
IF YOU HAD COOPERATED, THE LIVES OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR COMPLEX MIGHT HAVE BEEN SPARED,
CUT HIM OFF,
GENERAL, YOU'RE‐‐ YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP, ARE YOU?
JUST LET THE ALIENS WALK IN AND TAKE OVER?
DO WE HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE?
UNLESS WE COME UP WITH A MIRACLE IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR,
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE,
STEADY, MEN, STEADY, MIND YOUR FEET,
IF THAT GUN GETS LOOSE, YOU'LL CUT OFF A MAN'S LEG,
ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT, DOWN THROUGH HERE, MAKE ROOM FOR THE RECOIL,
OTHERWISE, WE'LL LOSE ON THE VERY FIRST SHOT,
IT'S ALMOST CERTAIN THE ARABS WILL BE ATTACKING ON THE NILE SIDE,
BRING YOUR HEAVY PIECES TO BEAR ON THE BRIDGE!
AND FIRE AT WILL!
[ Shouting ]
SOME OF YOU MEN, GIVE US A HAND TO MOVE THIS POWDER!
COME ON, MEN! LET'S GO!
HURRY UP WITH THAT POWDER! THERE WE GO,
ALL RIGHT, NOW‐‐ SERGEANT MAJOR!
SIR! SEND ANOTHER DETAIL UP THOSE BATTLEMENTS!
GET THOSE ARABS OFF OUR WALLS! IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO?
SUIT YOURSELVES, YOU CAN STAY OR MAKE A RUN FOR IT, THERE'S THE REAR GATE,
CORPORAL! TELL THE SERGEANT I WANT THOSE GUNS CONCENTRATED ON THAT GATE!
WELL?
WE'LL TAKE OUR CHANCES HERE,
GOOD BOYS, YOU THERE, TWO RIFLES,
TAKE COVER!
[ Explosion ]
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
CAPTAIN, THIS FORT IS LOST, THERE'S NOTHING MORE YOU CAN DO HERE,
ALL RIGHT, I'LL GET THE HORSES, COME ON, COME ON,
CAPTAIN!
GET THOSE GRENADES RIGHT THERE, ALL RIGHT,
ONE KEG OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH, COME ON!
WE'VE GOT TO DESTROY THOSE FORCE FIELD PROJECTORS SOMEHOW,
YOU DRAW THEIR ATTENTION OVER THERE,
I'LL TRY TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH WITH THESE GRENADES,
THEY GOT TONY,
WE STILL PROCEED, OF COURSE,
WE DO,
WE CAN GET TO THOSE MIRRORS FROM BEHIND THOSE ROCKS,
EXTRACTOR,
YOUR FRIEND MAY HAVE ELUDED US,
BUT YOU WILL SUIT OUR PURPOSE JUST AS WELL,
SEE THAT THE OTHER TWO OUT THERE ARE DISPOSED OF,
THIS TIME, WE WILL NOT BE INTERFERED WITH,
[ Device Whirring ]
YOU'RE DEFENSELESS AGAINST US!
YOU WILL DISCARD YOUR WEAPONS AND COME OUT,
RIGHT ON TARGET! SHALL WE DISCARD THE REST OF OUR WEAPONS?
STEADY, ONE TO GO,
GOOD SHOW! LET'S GO,
ACTIVATE,
CATCH,
ALL RIGHT,
SET HIM FREE!
I NEED ONLY PRESS THIS BUTTON, AND YOUR FRIEND WILL CEASE TO EXIST,
AND I NEED ONLY PULL THIS TRIGGER, AND YOU'LL CEASE TO EXIST,
[ Alien ] AN INTERESTING SITUATION,
WE SEEM TO HAVE REACHED AN IMPASSE,
EXCEPT THAT TIME IS IN MY FAVOR,
IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES, OUR MISSILES WILL BE LAUNCHED AGAINST YOUR WORLD,
AT THE SAME TIME, THE PEOPLE IN YOUR TIME TUNNEL WILL BE DESTROYED,
‐ WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT? ‐ HE PLANTED SOME KIND OF DEVICE IN THE TIME TUNNEL,
ONE OF THOSE BUTTONS SET IT OFF,
GENERAL KIRK! GENERAL KIRK, IF YOU HEAR ME, ACKNOWLEDGE!
YES, DOUG, I HEAR YOU,
IS IT TRUE? CAN THEY DESTROY YOU?
I'M AFRAID SO, THEIR MECHANISM IS SET TO EXPLODE IN‐‐
GENERAL, HE'S GONE, [ Frequency Oscillating ]
THERE'S A BREAK IN THE TRANSMISSION,
WE'VE RUN OUT OF TIME, YES,
I HATE TO THINK OF WHAT THEIR ADVANCED WEAPONRY WILL DO TO THIS WORLD,
BUT THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN STAND AGAINST IT,
OF COURSE‐‐ THE WEAPONRY,
WE DEVELOP WEAPONS THAT CAN DESTROY ONLY OUR OWN KIND,
SO‐‐
ANN, PREPARE FOR TRANSMISSION IN EXACTLY 30 SECONDS,
OF COURSE! IF IT EXPLODES THERE INSTEAD‐‐
YOU MEN, ALL OF YOU, GET THAT THING IN THE TUNNEL,
WE'RE GONNA SEND THEIR DEVICE BACK TO THEM,
FIFTEEN SECONDS AND COUNTING,
GENERAL, WHAT ABOUT DOUG AND TONY?
WE'LL HOLD THEIR SIGNALS ON STANDBY,
IF THIS WORKS, WE'LL RETRIEVE WHEN WE REBUILD POWER,
TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, ALL RIGHT, MEN, THAT'S FAR ENOUGH!
OUT! EVERYBODY OUT! SIX, FIVE, FOUR,
THREE, TWO, ONE,
THEY'VE SAVED THEMSELVES BUT DESTROYED YOUR WORLD!
TONY, THEY'VE ACTIVATED TWO OF THE MISSILES!
LET HIM GO! COME ON! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!
YOU'LL DESTROY US ALL! LET HIM GO!
COME ON! GET OUT OF HERE!
CAPTAIN!
[ Explosions ]
IT ALL SEEMS LIKE A HORRIBLE DREAM,
WE WOULD NEVER HAVE SUCCEEDED IF YOU TWO HADN'T COME ALONG,
‐ WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? ‐ I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH THE ARABS,
I SHALL MOVE SOUTH WITH GORDON'S ARMY,
WE'LL GO WITH YOU,
GOOD SHOW! I'LL GO GET THE HORSES,
ALL RIGHT, HERE YOU ARE, MOUNT UP,
SHARPEN THE FOCUS, ANN,
I'M TRYING TO,
IT'S NOT THE PROBE,
YOU'D BETTER GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT, RAY,
I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS OF THAT PLACE THEY'VE COME INTO,
PRETTY SOPHISTICATED INSTRUMENTS,
[ Doug ] YEAH, THEY'RE YEARS IN THE FUTURE OF OUR OWN TIME,
[ Tony ] I WONDER WHAT THEY'RE USED FOR, I DON'T KNOW,
BUT RIGHT NOW, I'D SETTLE FOR JUST KNOWING WHERE WE ARE,
HE'S DEAD, WELL, HE CAN'T BE,
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,
THAT IMPACT‐‐ IT WASN'T HARD ENOUGH TO KILL A MAN,
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND SOMEBODY,
[ Groaning ]
HE ISN'T AS DEAD AS YOU THOUGHT,
I TELL YOU, HE WAS,
LOOK AT HIM,
