1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.200
At a Southwest Desert test base in the imagined year
2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:08.359
nineteen sixty five. Pilot Steve Weston vanishes from radar during
3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:12.800
an experimental rocket flight, then returns ten hours later. That
4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.559
is the starting point for Dimension x's premiere broadcast, episode one,
5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.239
The Outer Limit, heard over NBC on April eighth, nineteen fifty.
6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.039
Joseph Julian plays Weston, with Wendell Holmes as ground controller
7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:32.439
Hank Hanson and Joe DeSantis as Army psychiatrist Major Donaldson.
8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.479
Ernest Knoy adapted Graham Dawes Saturday Evening Post story for Radio.
9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.960
Edward King directed and Van Woodward produced. With Western's flight
10
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.159
taking him to the edge of space on just ten
11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.840
minutes of fuel, the men at the base must Reckon
12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.159
with his account of what occurred beyond Earth. Ladies and gentlemen.
13
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.079
Dimension X presents The Outer Limit, now back to the
14
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.000
golden age.
15
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:57.600
Of radio.
16
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:23.879
Adventures in time and space, told in future tents. Can
17
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.239
you predict what will come in one hundred years, or
18
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.879
in ten or in the next minute. Some people think
19
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.760
they can. Nuclear scientists, mathematicians, astronomers, biologists, they'll predict the
20
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.079
shape of the future. Why because they make the future
21
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.000
because they see beyond the known dimensions of time and
22
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:57.760
space into the unknown dimension X. We go ahead now
23
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.079
in time to nineteen sixty five. We're on a vast
24
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.480
concrete runway set in the desert of the Southwest. A
25
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.520
giant metal ship stands before us, all pointed for the stars,
26
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.520
and in five minutes the signal will flash and it
27
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.479
will tear up through the atmosphere to the outer limit.
28
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:27.360
Attention, attention, weird feel or takeoff five minutes to off
29
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:32.159
WI her up, Kellie, I want to go all the
30
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.759
procedure again, Steve Hoorry, I got it straight.
31
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.879
You just make sure, okay. I take her up on
32
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.159
jets to fifty thousand, and then I cut in the racket.
33
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.159
No lore, or your tail blast will burn out three counties.
34
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.919
I climb four minutes on rockets, then Startpanova tests.
35
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.360
Remember them, no more than four minutes.
36
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:47.639
Right.
37
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.360
This ship isn't like those strato rockets you've been testing.
38
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.240
She's the first one built for outer space.
39
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.479
She works.
40
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:54.800
She can go clear to the moon.
41
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.840
But I know that i'd have brought my tooth right.
42
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:57.680
No, not this trip.
43
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.479
I'll get this to you. You've got power there to
44
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.039
clear the Erth's gravitational field. But remember, after you cut
45
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.759
in the rockets, you've only got ten minutes fuel. If
46
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.400
you go beyond the outer limit and don't save fuel
47
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.520
for the return, I know I won't get down again.
48
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.639
That's right, Steve, you will drift off into space. Get
49
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.400
that now. Ten minutes fuel got you. As far as
50
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.680
I'm concerned, this project is a lot more important than
51
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.280
that cosmic ray bomb they're testing out from the Pacific tonight.
52
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.240
A security commission brass doesn't think so. I don't see
53
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.960
any undersecretaries under anything. Don't worry.
54
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.360
The long run, our ship will make the cr bomb
55
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.520
back paid stuff. But in the meantime it's just as dangerous.
56
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.759
Remember half the principles and this ship of pure theory,
57
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.360
Steve slide rule stuff. If anything goes wrong, we may
58
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.520
have to scrape you off the landscape with a soup screw.
59
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.840
You have a charming sense ay humor.
60
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.360
And here's where I'm getting at. We're risking your neck
61
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.719
in this test. If anything blows, we don't want to
62
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.840
have the next man pull the same boner. I know, Hank,
63
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.560
So keep your mic open and keep talking. If anything
64
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.319
goes wrong, we want to know exactly why, and we
65
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.599
won't be able to ask you. Let us know before
66
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.800
you pull every switch, before you do anything. You got thing. Yeah,
67
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.199
even if you only have to blow your note. I
68
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.000
get those stew lights away.
69
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.560
I'll grow well.
70
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:15.840
I guess that's about old Steve.
71
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.240
That reminds me. Look, if Mary calls, I'm just up
72
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.399
on a milk run. I didn't tell her today was that?
73
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:22.519
How is she? She's okay, but.
74
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.079
She's do about now, and I don't want her to
75
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.759
be nervous. Hey, I didn't know the baby was that close. Yeah, Steve,
76
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.120
I really ought to be sending a single man on
77
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:30.680
this job.
78
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.360
But cut me out of a paycheck forget an Hank.
79
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.800
You know you can't get anybody else who can take
80
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.360
fifteen g's acceleration when those rockets cut in.
81
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:39.279
Yeah, I know.
82
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.519
It's time, Steve.
83
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.920
Yeah, Well see you later. Sorry, Hank, I'll sweat for
84
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.639
both of us. Button her up, Kellie all I Hank
85
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.120
so long.
86
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.639
We'll give you the life from control.
87
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.160
Thanksmon RONI Control EXCEP Nick Control.
88
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:10.879
Are you there yet?
89
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.160
Okay, Steve, got you on the speaker. I'm ready to go,
90
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.240
mister Hanson. Ready on radar sergeant, mister.
91
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.480
Hanson, you better see this. What is it?
92
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.720
Message sender for Steve? Missus Weston just left for the hospital.
93
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.079
Hello Steve, stand by, Hi.
94
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.920
Mann, Shall we hold the take off? Mister Hans?
95
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.879
Oh yes, no, wait just a minute, it's it's too late.
96
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.279
Now are you going to tell him?
97
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.560
Maybe he's got enough to worry about.
98
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.600
Hey, what's fillings up?
99
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:34.839
Hang?
100
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:35.839
Something in your mind?
101
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.959
No, no, it's it's nothing, Steve. I just wanted to
102
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.399
say good luck Claire for take off. Charlie, right, okay,
103
00:05:43.959 --> 00:06:02.079
give him a light. All right, Steve, I'm reading your
104
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.199
clear I'm a twenty.
105
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.319
Thousand, air speed six hundred. She's running fine. Sound prop
106
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:09.839
being works.
107
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.279
There's a third degree waiver in the ag white Briddy,
108
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.680
got that, Charlie check dead center on radar, mister hand
109
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.560
fifty thousand now cutting out the pot jet.
110
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.800
Now the stabber.
111
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:30.000
Rock jets, air speed dropping, opening the rocket, whats switch,
112
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.160
thinks a little Charlie, oxy.
113
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:37.360
Alcohol pressure three fifty All right, now I'm advancing the
114
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:38.120
emission key.
115
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:48.519
There goes rocket one, Steve, Steve, you all right, dad.
116
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.759
You know nobody's lucky with a slench hammer air speed
117
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:53.720
nine twelve hundred.
118
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.000
Here goes number two.
119
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.759
Hello, Steve, elapsed rocket time is now four minutes. What's
120
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.199
your outitude? Over to you?
121
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.720
Speed forty four hundred, still climbing attitude two hundred ninety
122
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:19.360
seven miles.
123
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.759
All right, you're at the outer limit level off for
124
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.639
maneuver test. You've got exactly six minutes fewel left.
125
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:31.439
Okay, starting a three degree left bank. It's a little sluggish,
126
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:37.680
that's all right. Now there's a low vibration someplace, maybe
127
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:42.680
the cockpit hatch. I'm straightening out five minutes fuel left
128
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:44.040
now I'm.
129
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.560
Starting a three degree right. Hey, what's the matter?
130
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:48.319
What's wrong?
131
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.639
There's something up here, something shining?
132
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:52.879
What are you talking about?
133
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:53.560
Something above me?
134
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.439
Hank, I'm gonna chase it, Steve, Steve, you're at the
135
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.000
oulder limit now I can see it plain. Now, don't
136
00:07:59.040 --> 00:07:59.680
go any higher.
137
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.319
You've only got four minutes left.
138
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.759
You'll only got exstatic.
139
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.399
I can't hear you.
140
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.199
Heck, it's beat ahead now, gotta make a pass at it.
141
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:08.920
Get a good luck.
142
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.160
Hey, it's worry to make me. It's better ahead now,
143
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.680
it's better ahead.
144
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.959
Hello, Hello, Hello, Steve, Steve.
145
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.120
Come in nine minutes you're gone still no sign on radar.
146
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.440
Hello, Hello Steve, Steve, what's happened?
147
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:38.240
Charlie?
148
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.639
Get out the christ squad Tell the army squadron to
149
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:41.759
alert their search planes.
150
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.240
Right not half?
151
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.519
Hello, hello Steve, what's happening? He girl? Come on, mister Hanson,
152
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.639
come in, Steve. When need the search squad come in?
153
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:58.240
Mister Hanson's busy? Hello hello Steve, Hello Steve. Ten minutes
154
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:20.720
mister Hanson hits the end of this fuel? How long
155
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:21.360
has it been now?
156
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.759
Don't know? There's mister Hanson.
157
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.720
Nothing more on radar. Sergeant screens blank.
158
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.639
Colonel Corell called in. Search planes are back. I didn't
159
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.200
find anything.
160
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.399
Should be some trace.
161
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.600
He couldn't have failed out?
162
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.480
Could he don't hit the cilk at forty four hundred
163
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.399
miles an hour either when passed the outer limit? Out
164
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.000
of fuel? Something blue and we'll find the pieces scattered
165
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.440
from here to the coast. Why does it have to
166
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:52.559
be the best man, always the best man. I'll get it, Charlie, Charlie,
167
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.279
you know we've got to figure out what was wrong. Something,
168
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.360
something must have belonged.
169
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.279
Yeah, it's a message from Northside Hospital for Christine.
170
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.080
What is missus?
171
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.919
Weston's fine?
172
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:09.240
It's a boy thank you, Elsie. It's a boy, Charlie.
173
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:15.679
Oh fine, fine's boy. He didn't even know she went
174
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.960
to the hospital. How am I going to tell Mary that.
175
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.679
Wasn't your fault, mister Hanson. Ship had to be tested.
176
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:23.919
Yeah.
177
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.240
Yeah, we'll build another one and some other flying fool
178
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.840
shoot past the outer limit into space. Oh I'm getting old, Charlie.
179
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.600
You can remember when I used to take him up myself.
180
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.519
Now I've got to send other man. It's a job,
181
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.600
mister Hanson. Now I'm afraid. Every time I hear a
182
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.600
jet go off, I jump. Every time I have to
183
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.840
send someone up in a new model, I start to sweat.
184
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.639
Mister Hanson. Yeah, I think there's something on the radar.
185
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.879
No flight schedule in either, Elsie.
186
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.039
We have a whole day cleaner. It's coming in behind it.
187
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.759
Here it bumps over the building.
188
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.799
What crazy juck is buzzing the field like that? Is
189
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:06.120
not an army playing, Charlie. I can't say it's churning, Charlie,
190
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:11.919
alert the field. I know that engine Steve. That's impossible.
191
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.039
That's a ship. Can't be.
192
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.720
There's no other model like that. It's Steave. All right,
193
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:40.000
it's coming in, Thank God, Thank God. All right, So
194
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.360
Steve the quicker, we get this done. The quicker, you
195
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.679
get over to see Mary and the baby.
196
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:44.000
Hank.
197
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.679
Elsie give the order to check and refuel the rockets.
198
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.519
I don't want anybody in here until I get Steve's reports, Bury,
199
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.919
any calls. All right, let's have it. But the devil
200
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.840
happened you, Hank?
201
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.200
Does that cosmic raid bomb still go off tonight?
202
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.360
What are you talking about? Straightened out, Steve? Where you've
203
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.200
been for the last ten hours? Listen, Hank, there's something more.
204
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:04.720
Come on, Come on, I've got to get a report
205
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.919
on the screen to Washington, so let's have it. I've
206
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.039
got to know how you stretch ten minutes fuel to
207
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.600
keep you in the air for ten hours.
208
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.480
One thing before I took sy Geigerman run over the
209
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.240
ship before they refuel what you run into?
210
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.399
So help me, Hank. I don't know.
211
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.559
We better check and make sure it isn't radioactive. Elsie
212
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.759
had a Geiger report on the standard. Check Steve. Maybe
213
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.559
we better have a doc look you over to No.
214
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.360
No, I'll be all right, they said, I'd be all right.
215
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.360
They look, son, I know you've had a tough time,
216
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.480
but we've had this feel on the alert for ten hours.
217
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.919
One of the army boys cracked up looking for you,
218
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.000
and he's hurt bad. So let's have a story. Let's
219
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.519
have it straight.
220
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.919
I don't know how to tell you, Hank, I saw
221
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.799
something up there at three hundred miles.
222
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.159
I chased something up there, Hank, and I caught it.
223
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.399
I don't hand me there, Listeneve.
224
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.840
I was cruising along, just starting the right bank when
225
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.879
I spotted something must have been going about half my speed.
226
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.879
It was egg shaped and smooth.
227
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.879
I made a pass at it, and I was coming
228
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.919
back for another and then there was a humming sound,
229
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.879
the sort of vibration, and I blacked out. I was
230
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.240
headed straight forward at forty four hundred miles an hour.
231
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.480
I thought it was going to be the biggest smash
232
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.879
in Hiroshima because they were drinking that bottle. Never mind that, Steve,
233
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:22.440
what happened.
234
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:31.159
I came to inside their ship, Steve, this.
235
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.120
Whole thing has been a devil of a strain on you.
236
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.600
I'm going to call Major Donaldson from the Army base,
237
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.759
ask him to sit in psychiatrist.
238
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.360
Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Let him run his test.
239
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:43.840
He'll tell you.
240
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.320
I'm not kidding, because Hank, unless I miss my guests,
241
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.559
I've just been tipped off to the way the world ends.
242
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.399
All right, mister Weston, suppose you continue your story is
243
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.000
let's have it.
244
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:04.360
Steve.
245
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.240
You woke up inside the ship, Yes, and the place
246
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:13.799
was jammed with machinery, dials, blinkers. I couldn't recognize anything,
247
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.360
and you were surrounded by these men from Mars. I
248
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.000
didn't say anything about men from Mars. I didn't even
249
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.080
say they were men. I couldn't see them clearly. They
250
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.799
were just there.
251
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.080
Where did they come from?
252
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:31.960
Them? Another galaxy? Millions of miles outside of our solar system.
253
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.720
That's all I know. You figure out where they came from.
254
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.200
And they came all that distance to find the Earth. Yes,
255
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.120
did they tell you that?
256
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:39.679
Yes?
257
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.000
You mean they spoke English to you? No, No, they didn't.
258
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:48.399
It's funny, hadn't thought. They didn't really speak to me
259
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.919
at all. They just planted the thoughts in my mind.
260
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.320
You mean thought transfers telepathy. Yes, that's right.
261
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.840
Well, Steve, what brought them here?
262
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.480
We did, Hank. We ran their bell.
263
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.799
We brought them in with our atomic explosions. Think that's
264
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.200
why you've got to stop that bomb test tonight. Look,
265
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.200
you've got to believe me, Hank, Oh, how can I
266
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.039
make you understand? Maybe I can help mister West. Would
267
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.759
you submit to narco psychometry?
268
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.080
What's that?
269
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.639
Under proper drugs? I can put you back in this
270
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.960
ship by suggestion. Then we can get a playback record
271
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.679
of your memory pattern on the audio circuit.
272
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.080
How long will it take?
273
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.840
Half an hour? We'll have to go over to the lad.
274
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.720
Will you believe me?
275
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.960
If it checks, it will give us an accurate memory
276
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.440
picture of what your mind reports.
277
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.480
All right, let's go. Thank you got to believe me.
278
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.679
We haven't got much time.
279
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.799
You should be getting drowsy. Now count backwards from ten.
280
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.840
Nine eight.
281
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:30.559
Seven, sick, sick, he's under Now we attach the headplate.
282
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.559
Electrodes cord will pick up look out for that. Why
283
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:42.440
mister Henson, three yeld sitting thirty one point three now
284
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:49.080
through that's rich, mister Henson. I have to start him
285
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:55.519
off by suggestion. Alright, Steve, you're in your ship. Now,
286
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.080
you're in the rocket.
287
00:16:59.399 --> 00:16:59.639
Back.
288
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.039
You're in the rocket. You're in the rocket, and you've
289
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.079
just cited something strange. Now I'm starting at three degree right, Hey,
290
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.160
there's something up there, something shining his memory pattern. We're
291
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.240
picking it up electronically.
292
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.799
It's something above me, Hank, I'm going to chase.
293
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.559
It's two of the audio circuits.
294
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.960
I'm getting static. I can't.
295
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.119
Hey you, Hank, this is where we lost contact with him.
296
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.400
I'm going to make a pass out of Hey, it's
297
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.200
worthing to meet me. It's not ad now, it's not
298
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:31.680
a hat.
299
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.519
No, this is where he blacked out. There's no telling
300
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:40.720
how long minutes or hours?
301
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:42.400
What's that noise?
302
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.240
I don't know? Quiet?
303
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.000
Where? How did I get in here?
304
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.160
What?
305
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.319
Who are you?
306
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.519
Is he seeing things?
307
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.240
Intergalactic patrol?
308
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.519
What's that?
309
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.559
What are they saying, Steve? What are they saying?
310
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:06.839
It's about nuclear fission. They know about it, they know
311
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.680
the danger of it. Long ago they had wars that
312
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.240
almost destroyed.
313
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:18.920
Them, and finally they learned. Now they've outlawed war. They
314
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.759
patrol space. When their detector picks up an atomic explosion,
315
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:25.319
they send the patrol.
316
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:26.920
What are they going to do?
317
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.920
They've quarantined us, quarantine, They've.
318
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.039
Isolated the Earth because we don't know how to control
319
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:34.799
ourselves yet.
320
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.400
Until we learn, will be a menace to the whole universe.
321
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.000
How are they going to do with Steve.
322
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.680
They've spread a layer out here of I don't know
323
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.000
how to call it, all around the Earth. It's miles deep.
324
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.680
When there's an atomic explosion on Earth, the radioactive particles
325
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.960
will drift up to this layer and set off a
326
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:03.440
chain reaction around the world in microseconds, and that's the end.
327
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:03.920
Yeah.
328
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:11.680
Wait, yes, yes, I understand. I've got to bring back
329
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.240
the warning. You're going to put me back in my
330
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:17.400
ship to bring the warning.
331
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.880
Now one blacked out again. I guess that's all.
332
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.160
What does all that mean?
333
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.359
It's what he remembers. You don't think that really happened.
334
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.759
Oh no, narco psychometry circuits produced what he remembers. It
335
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.839
just means that Steve believes this happened.
336
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.960
I don't like to see this. I've seen too many
337
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:48.279
tough pilot snap Steve is the best I've known. How
338
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:49.079
bad you think he is?
339
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.799
Frankly, outside of the presence of this well organized, this hallucination,
340
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.000
there's no sign of unbalanced. May not be too serious.
341
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.759
If he had a more plausible story, I'd be inclined
342
00:19:59.799 --> 00:19:59.920
to a.
343
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.319
What thank it's all right boy?
344
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.599
Did you hear it? Hank? You understand? Sure?
345
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.279
Sure, we've we've been quarantine.
346
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.440
Let me give you something to make you sleep, Steve,
347
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:14.000
don't JENNI stand.
348
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.480
They fixed it so that if we set off one
349
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.240
more nuclear explosion.
350
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:18.680
That'll be it.
351
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.920
Of course, don't ro your sleep down.
352
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.759
You don't believe me, No, take it easy, Steve.
353
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.880
At a test tonight, that setting off to see our bomb? Thank?
354
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.279
What time is it? Eleven twenty? Let's schedule for midnight.
355
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.240
Think we got to stop that bomb, Steve, red Donalds
356
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.079
will give you the hyphones.
357
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.839
Thank You've got to believe me. I saw them, I
358
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:36.559
got the warning.
359
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.519
If we touch off that bomb tonight, it'll be the
360
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.720
biggest galactic Fourth of July of all time.
361
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.079
The whole earth will go up like a Roman candle.
362
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:46.880
April tenth, nineteen sixty five, the end.
363
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.440
I look, Steve, you better calm down. Don't you want
364
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.519
to see marrying the baby. You've got a new son, remember, Yeah,
365
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.640
it's just that I want to see my son. I
366
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.559
want him to live if that bomb goes off. I
367
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.799
think we've got to stop.
368
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.480
Them, mister Hanson. I think we've to get over to
369
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:01.119
the base hospital.
370
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.599
Hank, You've got to believe sure, sure, Steve, Maybe there
371
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.720
is something to do it. Look, it's out of your hands.
372
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:07.640
I'll put it in a report and shove it into
373
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.559
Washington in the morning.
374
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:10.920
In the morning. There isn't gonna be any morning, Hank.
375
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.079
Don't you understand You've got to call Washington now, get
376
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.519
the head of the Security Commission and postpone that debt.
377
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.319
No, you know I can't do that, Steve, Mine that
378
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.079
could be out a mile. Besides, this is nineteen sixty five,
379
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.319
not forty five. Twenty countries have atomic bombs. Now, what's
380
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.000
he used of stopping?
381
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.640
Just this one?
382
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:29.960
The rest will keep right on popping the moon.
383
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.599
We'll have to call an international conference, can't you understand, Hank,
384
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.480
the first.
385
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.960
One that Gazov finishes. That's at the end. They've given
386
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:37.960
us the quarantine.
387
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.440
Morning, Steve, I think you'd better go with us to
388
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.359
the base hospital.
389
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.440
Look, Steve, we can call up for a detail if.
390
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:44.640
We have to.
391
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.440
All Right, all right, I'll go with you.
392
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.799
You don't need a straight jacket.
393
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.440
That's the way, Steve. You'll probably feel better by morning.
394
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:56.000
Let's go.
395
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.640
We'll ask Steve tomorrow. I'll drive you over to the hospital.
396
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.039
See Mary and the kid. Sure, look at the ship
397
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:16.599
under the thread lights. Pretty. Huh. You'll be flying her
398
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.720

399
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:18.799
Yeah?

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:19.839

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.119
Not crazy.
409
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.359
You can't get out him now that covers armor glass.
410
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.240
He's waving towards control.
411
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.079
It's the radio.
412
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.880
He needs the radio.
413
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:55.119
Come on, I should have gotten help.
414
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.759

They won't believe me.
431
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:24.519
You make that caller right.
432
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.359

a request to cancel the bomb test? No, No, I'm serious.
496
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:45.440
It's deadly serious. We sent the X two JTR up

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.559

00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.279
to postpone the test till you see them. Look, I've
502
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.680
worked on contracts with the Commission for ten years. Yes, yes,
503
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:06.920
I have complete confidence in my information. You can record that.
504
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.920
All right, I'll call you back immediately.
505
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.519
Bye.
506
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.160
Hey, Hey, he's agreed to cancel. Steve, the bomb won't
507
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:15.519
go off.
508
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.480
All right, boy, you can come down.
509
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:39.359

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.279
All right, Steve, come on down.
513
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:49.039
Sure, Hank, it's a second.
514
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:54.200
Eh, thank you.
515
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.480
I was scared. I was plain scared.
516
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.680
He's you know, it's all over. The bomb won't block,
517
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.799
thank god. Look, I want to see Mary and the baby.
518
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.000
Can you get me transportation. Now, wait a minute, it's
519
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.759
almost twelve. They won't let you in the hospital.
520
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:11.960
Now.
521
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.920
I want to see the baby, Sure you do, but
522
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.599
you've been under the strain. I've got a shot for
523
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:20.079
you here, Steve. Give you a good night sleep, all right,
524
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:27.759
roll up your sleeve. Yeah yeah, yeah, that'll make you sleep, Roger.
525
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.240
We'll find you a bed, yes, sir, Come on, mister Weston, Okay,
526
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.000
good night, Hank.
527
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.799
I'm kind of beat.
528
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:45.200
It's been a tough night, it sure has. I thought
529
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.079
for a minute he was going to blast those rockets
530
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.279
and send us all the kingdom come.
531
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:48.839
Yeah.
532
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.799
Quite a stunt getting the ray bomb test called off.
533
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.039
It isn't, but the chief SAMs couldn't get the chief
534
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.359
I was talking to a dead circ bomb goes off
535
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.119
in a couple of minutes.
536
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.559
Oh, poor Steve.
537
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.680
He was one of the best. He was the best
538
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:16.000
one and ten million so story of this poor guy.
539
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.559
For a while, he almost had me believing that quarantine.
540
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.599
That's a very common delusion, end of the world.
541
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:32.640
Yeah, I suppose, so nice night. Never saw the star
542
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:35.319
so bright. We better be getting in that windows. Cold.
543
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:45.480
Bomb goes off in thirty seconds. Poor Steve, no Hanson.
544
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:50.119
There's just one thing. Yeah, it's outside my field. But
545
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:54.599
I'm curious how did he keep that ship in the
546
00:28:54.680 --> 00:29:15.599
air for ten hours with only ten minutes fuel. You
547
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:20.279
have just heard The Outer Limits by Graham Dorr, an
548
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.079
adventure in time, space and the unknown.
549
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.920
Now about next week? Have you ever heard of the
550
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.920
Mark III, the amazing electronic brain at Harvard that instantly
551
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.640
solves the most complicated scientific problems. Suppose you had a
552
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.039
mechanical brain like that in your house, a robot that
553
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.240
was always at your service so that you could just
554
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.960
sit with folded hands and relaxed the rest of your life.
555
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.559
That would be nice, would mean perfect. That's what they
556
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.359
thought when it happened in the year two thousand and six.
557
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:16.160
But they were wrong, terribly wrong. How I'll tell you
558
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:25.640
next week. Tonight's story transcribed on Dimension X. The Outer
559
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.240
Limit by Graham Dorr was adapted for radio by Ernest Cannoy.
560
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.759
Featured in the cast were Joseph Julian and Steve Wendell, Holmes,
561
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.319
Is Hanked and Jodasatus as Major Donaldson. Your host is
562
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:43.079
Norman Rolls. Music was by Albert Berman. Sound designed by
563
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:45.319
Sam and Rowl Edward King.
564
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:46.279
Directed.
565
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.759
Tomorrow. Here's Sam Spade. Now, it's Truth or Consequences on NBC.
566
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:11.720
That was Dimension X with the Outer Limit. Follow Dimension

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.200
At a Southwest Desert test base in the imagined year
2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:08.359
nineteen sixty five. Pilot Steve Weston vanishes from radar during
3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:12.800
an experimental rocket flight, then returns ten hours later. That
4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.559
is the starting point for Dimension x's premiere broadcast, episode one,
5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.239
The Outer Limit, heard over NBC on April eighth, nineteen fifty.
6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.039
Joseph Julian plays Weston, with Wendell Holmes as ground controller
7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:32.439
Hank Hanson and Joe DeSantis as Army psychiatrist Major Donaldson.
8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.479
Ernest Knoy adapted Graham Dawes Saturday Evening Post story for Radio.
9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.960
Edward King directed and Van Woodward produced. With Western's flight
10
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.159
taking him to the edge of space on just ten
11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.840
minutes of fuel, the men at the base must Reckon
12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.159
with his account of what occurred beyond Earth. Ladies and gentlemen.
13
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.079
Dimension X presents The Outer Limit, now back to the
14
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.000
golden age.
15
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:57.600
Of radio.
16
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:23.879
Adventures in time and space, told in future tents. Can
17
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.239
you predict what will come in one hundred years, or
18
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.879
in ten or in the next minute. Some people think
19
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.760
they can. Nuclear scientists, mathematicians, astronomers, biologists, they'll predict the
20
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.079
shape of the future. Why because they make the future
21
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.000
because they see beyond the known dimensions of time and
22
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:57.760
space into the unknown dimension X. We go ahead now
23
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.079
in time to nineteen sixty five. We're on a vast
24
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.480
concrete runway set in the desert of the Southwest. A
25
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.520
giant metal ship stands before us, all pointed for the stars,
26
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.520
and in five minutes the signal will flash and it
27
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.479
will tear up through the atmosphere to the outer limit.
28
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:27.360
Attention, attention, weird feel or takeoff five minutes to off
29
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:32.159
WI her up, Kellie, I want to go all the
30
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.759
procedure again, Steve Hoorry, I got it straight.
31
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.879
You just make sure, okay. I take her up on
32
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.159
jets to fifty thousand, and then I cut in the racket.
33
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.159
No lore, or your tail blast will burn out three counties.
34
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.919
I climb four minutes on rockets, then Startpanova tests.
35
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.360
Remember them, no more than four minutes.
36
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:47.639
Right.
37
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.360
This ship isn't like those strato rockets you've been testing.
38
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.240
She's the first one built for outer space.
39
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.479
She works.
40
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:54.800
She can go clear to the moon.
41
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.840
But I know that i'd have brought my tooth right.
42
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:57.680
No, not this trip.
43
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.479
I'll get this to you. You've got power there to
44
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.039
clear the Erth's gravitational field. But remember, after you cut
45
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.759
in the rockets, you've only got ten minutes fuel. If
46
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.400
you go beyond the outer limit and don't save fuel
47
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.520
for the return, I know I won't get down again.
48
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.639
That's right, Steve, you will drift off into space. Get
49
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.400
that now. Ten minutes fuel got you. As far as
50
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.680
I'm concerned, this project is a lot more important than
51
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.280
that cosmic ray bomb they're testing out from the Pacific tonight.
52
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.240
A security commission brass doesn't think so. I don't see
53
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.960
any undersecretaries under anything. Don't worry.
54
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.360
The long run, our ship will make the cr bomb
55
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.520
back paid stuff. But in the meantime it's just as dangerous.
56
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.759
Remember half the principles and this ship of pure theory,
57
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.360
Steve slide rule stuff. If anything goes wrong, we may
58
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.520
have to scrape you off the landscape with a soup screw.
59
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.840
You have a charming sense ay humor.
60
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.360
And here's where I'm getting at. We're risking your neck
61
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.719
in this test. If anything blows, we don't want to
62
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.840
have the next man pull the same boner. I know, Hank,
63
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.560
So keep your mic open and keep talking. If anything
64
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.319
goes wrong, we want to know exactly why, and we
65
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.599
won't be able to ask you. Let us know before
66
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.800
you pull every switch, before you do anything. You got thing. Yeah,
67
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.199
even if you only have to blow your note. I
68
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.000
get those stew lights away.
69
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.560
I'll grow well.
70
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:15.840
I guess that's about old Steve.
71
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.240
That reminds me. Look, if Mary calls, I'm just up
72
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.399
on a milk run. I didn't tell her today was that?
73
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:22.519
How is she? She's okay, but.
74
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.079
She's do about now, and I don't want her to
75
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.759
be nervous. Hey, I didn't know the baby was that close. Yeah, Steve,
76
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.120
I really ought to be sending a single man on
77
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:30.680
this job.
78
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.360
But cut me out of a paycheck forget an Hank.
79
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.800
You know you can't get anybody else who can take
80
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.360
fifteen g's acceleration when those rockets cut in.
81
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:39.279
Yeah, I know.
82
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.519
It's time, Steve.
83
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.920
Yeah, Well see you later. Sorry, Hank, I'll sweat for
84
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.639
both of us. Button her up, Kellie all I Hank
85
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.120
so long.
86
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.639
We'll give you the life from control.
87
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.160
Thanksmon RONI Control EXCEP Nick Control.
88
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:10.879
Are you there yet?
89
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.160
Okay, Steve, got you on the speaker. I'm ready to go,
90
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.240
mister Hanson. Ready on radar sergeant, mister.
91
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.480
Hanson, you better see this. What is it?
92
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.720
Message sender for Steve? Missus Weston just left for the hospital.
93
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.079
Hello Steve, stand by, Hi.
94
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.920
Mann, Shall we hold the take off? Mister Hans?
95
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.879
Oh yes, no, wait just a minute, it's it's too late.
96
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.279
Now are you going to tell him?
97
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.560
Maybe he's got enough to worry about.
98
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.600
Hey, what's fillings up?
99
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:34.839
Hang?
100
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:35.839
Something in your mind?
101
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.959
No, no, it's it's nothing, Steve. I just wanted to
102
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.399
say good luck Claire for take off. Charlie, right, okay,
103
00:05:43.959 --> 00:06:02.079
give him a light. All right, Steve, I'm reading your
104
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.199

107
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.279
There's a third degree waiver in the ag white Briddy,
108
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.680
got that, Charlie check dead center on radar, mister hand

fifty thousand now cutting out the pot jet.
110
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.800
Now the stabber.
111
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:30.000
Rock jets, air speed dropping, opening the rocket, whats switch,
112

There goes rocket one, Steve, Steve, you all right, dad.

00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.000
Here goes number two.
119
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.759
Hello, Steve, elapsed rocket time is now four minutes. What's
120
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.199
your outitude? Over to you?
121
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.720
Speed forty four hundred, still climbing attitude two hundred ninety
122
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:19.360
seven miles.
123
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.759
All right, you're at the outer limit level off for
124
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.639
maneuver test. You've got exactly six minutes fewel left.
125
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:31.439
Okay, starting a three degree left bank. It's a little sluggish,
126
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:37.680
that's all right. Now there's a low vibration someplace, maybe
127
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:42.680
the cockpit hatch. I'm straightening out five minutes fuel left
128
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:44.040
now I'm.
129
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.560
Starting a three degree right. Hey, what's the matter?
130
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:48.319
What's wrong?
131
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.639
There's something up here, something shining?
132
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:52.879
What are you talking about?
133
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:53.560
Something above me?
134
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.439
Hank, I'm gonna chase it, Steve, Steve, you're at the
135
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.000
oulder limit now I can see it plain. Now, don't
136
00:07:59.040 --> 00:07:59.680
go any higher.
137
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.319
You've only got four minutes left.
138
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.759
You'll only got exstatic.
139
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.399
I can't hear you.
140
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.199
Heck, it's beat ahead now, gotta make a pass at it.
141
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:08.920
Get a good luck.
142
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.160
Hey, it's worry to make me. It's better ahead now,
143
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.680
it's better ahead.
144
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.959
Hello, Hello, Hello, Steve, Steve.
145
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.120
Come in nine minutes you're gone still no sign on radar.
146
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.440
Hello, Hello Steve, Steve, what's happened?
147
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:38.240
Charlie?
148
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.639
Get out the christ squad Tell the army squadron to
149
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:41.759
alert their search planes.
150
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.240
Right not half?
151
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.519
Hello, hello Steve, what's happening? He girl? Come on, mister Hanson,
152
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.639
come in, Steve. When need the search squad come in?
153
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:58.240
Mister Hanson's busy? Hello hello Steve, Hello Steve. Ten minutes
154
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:20.720
mister Hanson hits the end of this fuel? How long
155
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:21.360
has it been now?
156
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.759
Don't know? There's mister Hanson.
157
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.720
Nothing more on radar. Sergeant screens blank.
158
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.639
Colonel Corell called in. Search planes are back. I didn't
159
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.200
find anything.
160
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.399
Should be some trace.
161
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.600
He couldn't have failed out?
162
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.480
Could he don't hit the cilk at forty four hundred
163
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.399
miles an hour either when passed the outer limit? Out
164
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.000
of fuel? Something blue and we'll find the pieces scattered
165
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.440
from here to the coast. Why does it have to
166
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:52.559
be the best man, always the best man. I'll get it, Charlie, Charlie,
167
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.279
you know we've got to figure out what was wrong. Something,
168
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.360
something must have belonged.
169
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.279
Yeah, it's a message from Northside Hospital for Christine.
170
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.080
What is missus?
171
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.919
Weston's fine?
172
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:09.240
It's a boy thank you, Elsie. It's a boy, Charlie.
173
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:15.679
Oh fine, fine's boy. He didn't even know she went
174
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.960
to the hospital. How am I going to tell Mary that.
175
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.679
Wasn't your fault, mister Hanson. Ship had to be tested.
176
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:23.919
Yeah.
177
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.240
Yeah, we'll build another one and some other flying fool
178
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.840
shoot past the outer limit into space. Oh I'm getting old, Charlie.
179
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.600
You can remember when I used to take him up myself.
180
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.519
Now I've got to send other man. It's a job,
181
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.600
mister Hanson. Now I'm afraid. Every time I hear a
182
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.600
jet go off, I jump. Every time I have to
183
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.840
send someone up in a new model, I start to sweat.
184
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.639
Mister Hanson. Yeah, I think there's something on the radar.
185
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.879
No flight schedule in either, Elsie.
186
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.039
We have a whole day cleaner. It's coming in behind it.
187
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.759
Here it bumps over the building.
188
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.799
What crazy juck is buzzing the field like that? Is
189
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:06.120
not an army playing, Charlie. I can't say it's churning, Charlie,
190
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:11.919
alert the field. I know that engine Steve. That's impossible.
191
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.039
That's a ship. Can't be.
192
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.720
There's no other model like that. It's Steave. All right,
193
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:40.000
it's coming in, Thank God, Thank God. All right, So
194
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.360
Steve the quicker, we get this done. The quicker, you
195
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.679
get over to see Mary and the baby.
196
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:44.000
Hank.
197
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.679
Elsie give the order to check and refuel the rockets.
198
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.519
I don't want anybody in here until I get Steve's reports, Bury,
199
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.919
any calls. All right, let's have it. But the devil
200
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.840
happened you, Hank?
201
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.200
Does that cosmic raid bomb still go off tonight?
202
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.360
What are you talking about? Straightened out, Steve? Where you've
203
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.200
been for the last ten hours? Listen, Hank, there's something more.
204
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:04.720
Come on, Come on, I've got to get a report
205
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.919
on the screen to Washington, so let's have it. I've
206
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.039
got to know how you stretch ten minutes fuel to
207
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.600
keep you in the air for ten hours.
208
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.480
One thing before I took sy Geigerman run over the
209
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.240
ship before they refuel what you run into?
210
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.399
So help me, Hank. I don't know.
211
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.559
We better check and make sure it isn't radioactive. Elsie
212
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.759
had a Geiger report on the standard. Check Steve. Maybe
213
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.559
we better have a doc look you over to No.
214
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.360
No, I'll be all right, they said, I'd be all right.
215
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.360
They look, son, I know you've had a tough time,
216
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.480
but we've had this feel on the alert for ten hours.
217
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.919
One of the army boys cracked up looking for you,
218
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.000
and he's hurt bad. So let's have a story. Let's
219
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.519
have it straight.
220
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.919
I don't know how to tell you, Hank, I saw
221
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.799
something up there at three hundred miles.
222
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.159
I chased something up there, Hank, and I caught it.
223
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.399
I don't hand me there, Listeneve.
224
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.840
I was cruising along, just starting the right bank when
225
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.879
I spotted something must have been going about half my speed.
226
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.879
It was egg shaped and smooth.
227
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.879
I made a pass at it, and I was coming
228
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.919
back for another and then there was a humming sound,
229
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.879
the sort of vibration, and I blacked out. I was
230
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.240
headed straight forward at forty four hundred miles an hour.
231
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.480
I thought it was going to be the biggest smash
232
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.879
in Hiroshima because they were drinking that bottle. Never mind that, Steve,
233
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:22.440
what happened.
234
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:31.159
I came to inside their ship, Steve, this.
235
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.120
Whole thing has been a devil of a strain on you.
236
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.600
I'm going to call Major Donaldson from the Army base,
237
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.759
ask him to sit in psychiatrist.
238
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.360
Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Let him run his test.
239
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:43.840
He'll tell you.
240
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.320
I'm not kidding, because Hank, unless I miss my guests,
241
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.559
I've just been tipped off to the way the world ends.
242
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.399
All right, mister Weston, suppose you continue your story is
243
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.000
let's have it.
244
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:04.360
Steve.
245
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.240
You woke up inside the ship, Yes, and the place
246
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:13.799
was jammed with machinery, dials, blinkers. I couldn't recognize anything,
247
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.360
and you were surrounded by these men from Mars. I
248
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.000
didn't say anything about men from Mars. I didn't even
249
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.080
say they were men. I couldn't see them clearly. They
250
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.799
were just there.
251
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.080
Where did they come from?
252
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:31.960
Them? Another galaxy? Millions of miles outside of our solar system.
253
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.720
That's all I know. You figure out where they came from.
254
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.200
And they came all that distance to find the Earth. Yes,
255
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.120
did they tell you that?
256
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:39.679
Yes?
257
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.000
You mean they spoke English to you? No, No, they didn't.
258
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:48.399
It's funny, hadn't thought. They didn't really speak to me
259
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.919
at all. They just planted the thoughts in my mind.
260
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.320
You mean thought transfers telepathy. Yes, that's right.
261
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.840
Well, Steve, what brought them here?
262
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.480
We did, Hank. We ran their bell.
263
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.799
We brought them in with our atomic explosions. Think that's
264
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.200
why you've got to stop that bomb test tonight. Look,
265
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:10.200
you've got to believe me, Hank, Oh, how can I
266
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.039
make you understand? Maybe I can help mister West. Would
267
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.759
you submit to narco psychometry?
268
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.080
What's that?
269
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.639
Under proper drugs? I can put you back in this
270
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:25.960
ship by suggestion. Then we can get a playback record
271
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.679
of your memory pattern on the audio circuit.
272
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.080
How long will it take?
273
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.840
Half an hour? We'll have to go over to the lad.
274
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.720
Will you believe me?
275
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.960
If it checks, it will give us an accurate memory
276
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.440
picture of what your mind reports.
277
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.480
All right, let's go. Thank you got to believe me.
278
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.679
We haven't got much time.
279
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.799
You should be getting drowsy. Now count backwards from ten.
280
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.840
Nine eight.
281
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:30.559
Seven, sick, sick, he's under Now we attach the headplate.
282
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.559
Electrodes cord will pick up look out for that. Why
283
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:42.440
mister Henson, three yeld sitting thirty one point three now
284
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:49.080
through that's rich, mister Henson. I have to start him
285
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:55.519
off by suggestion. Alright, Steve, you're in your ship. Now,
286
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.080
you're in the rocket.
287
00:16:59.399 --> 00:16:59.639
Back.
288
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.039
You're in the rocket. You're in the rocket, and you've
289
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.079
just cited something strange. Now I'm starting at three degree right, Hey,
290
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.160
there's something up there, something shining his memory pattern. We're
291
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.240
picking it up electronically.
292
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.799
It's something above me, Hank, I'm going to chase.
293
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.559
It's two of the audio circuits.
294
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.960
I'm getting static. I can't.
295
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.119
Hey you, Hank, this is where we lost contact with him.
296
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.400
I'm going to make a pass out of Hey, it's
297
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.200
worthing to meet me. It's not ad now, it's not
298
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:31.680
a hat.
299
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.519
No, this is where he blacked out. There's no telling
300
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:40.720
how long minutes or hours?
301
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:42.400
What's that noise?
302
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.240
I don't know? Quiet?
303
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.000
Where? How did I get in here?
304
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.160
What?
305
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.319
Who are you?
306
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.519
Is he seeing things?
307
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.240
Intergalactic patrol?
308
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.519
What's that?
309
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.559
What are they saying, Steve? What are they saying?
310
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:06.839
It's about nuclear fission. They know about it, they know
311
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.680
the danger of it. Long ago they had wars that
312
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.240
almost destroyed.
313
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:18.920
Them, and finally they learned. Now they've outlawed war. They
314
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.759
patrol space. When their detector picks up an atomic explosion,
315
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:25.319
they send the patrol.
316
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:26.920
What are they going to do?
317
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.920
They've quarantined us, quarantine, They've.
318
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.039
Isolated the Earth because we don't know how to control
319
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:34.799
ourselves yet.
320
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.400
Until we learn, will be a menace to the whole universe.
321
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.000
How are they going to do with Steve.
322
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.680
They've spread a layer out here of I don't know
323
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.000
how to call it, all around the Earth. It's miles deep.
324
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.680
When there's an atomic explosion on Earth, the radioactive particles
325
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.960
will drift up to this layer and set off a
326
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:03.440
chain reaction around the world in microseconds, and that's the end.
327
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:03.920
Yeah.
328
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:11.680
Wait, yes, yes, I understand. I've got to bring back
329
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.240
the warning. You're going to put me back in my
330
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:17.400
ship to bring the warning.
331
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.880
Now one blacked out again. I guess that's all.
332
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.160
What does all that mean?
333
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.359
It's what he remembers. You don't think that really happened.
334
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.759
Oh no, narco psychometry circuits produced what he remembers. It
335
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.839
just means that Steve believes this happened.
336
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.960
I don't like to see this. I've seen too many
337
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:48.279
tough pilot snap Steve is the best I've known. How
338
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:49.079
bad you think he is?
339
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.799
Frankly, outside of the presence of this well organized, this hallucination,
340
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.000
there's no sign of unbalanced. May not be too serious.
341
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.759
If he had a more plausible story, I'd be inclined
342
00:19:59.799 --> 00:19:59.920
to a.
343
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.319
What thank it's all right boy?
344
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.599
Did you hear it? Hank? You understand? Sure?
345
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.279
Sure, we've we've been quarantine.
346
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.440
Let me give you something to make you sleep, Steve,
347
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:14.000
don't JENNI stand.
348
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.480
They fixed it so that if we set off one
349
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.240
more nuclear explosion.
350
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:18.680
That'll be it.
351
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.920
Of course, don't ro your sleep down.
352
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.759
You don't believe me, No, take it easy, Steve.
353
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.880
At a test tonight, that setting off to see our bomb? Thank?
354
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.279
What time is it? Eleven twenty? Let's schedule for midnight.
355
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.240
Think we got to stop that bomb, Steve, red Donalds
356
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.079
will give you the hyphones.
357
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.839
Thank You've got to believe me. I saw them, I
358
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:36.559
got the warning.
359
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.519
If we touch off that bomb tonight, it'll be the
360
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.720
biggest galactic Fourth of July of all time.
361
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.079
The whole earth will go up like a Roman candle.
362
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:46.880
April tenth, nineteen sixty five, the end.
363
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.440
I look, Steve, you better calm down. Don't you want
364
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.519
to see marrying the baby. You've got a new son, remember, Yeah,
365
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.640
it's just that I want to see my son. I
366
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.559
want him to live if that bomb goes off. I
367
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.799
think we've got to stop.
368
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.480
Them, mister Hanson. I think we've to get over to
369
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:01.119
the base hospital.
370
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.599
Hank, You've got to believe sure, sure, Steve, Maybe there
371
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.720
is something to do it. Look, it's out of your hands.
372
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:07.640
I'll put it in a report and shove it into
373
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.559
Washington in the morning.
374
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:10.920
In the morning. There isn't gonna be any morning, Hank.
375
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.079
Don't you understand You've got to call Washington now, get
376
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.519
the head of the Security Commission and postpone that debt.
377
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.319
No, you know I can't do that, Steve, Mine that
378
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.079
could be out a mile. Besides, this is nineteen sixty five,
379
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.319
not forty five. Twenty countries have atomic bombs. Now, what's
380
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.000
he used of stopping?
381
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.640
Just this one?
382
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:29.960
The rest will keep right on popping the moon.
383
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.599
We'll have to call an international conference, can't you understand, Hank,
384
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.480
the first.
385
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.960
One that Gazov finishes. That's at the end. They've given
386
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:37.960
us the quarantine.
387
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.440
Morning, Steve, I think you'd better go with us to
388
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.359
the base hospital.
389
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.440
Look, Steve, we can call up for a detail if.
390
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:44.640
We have to.
391
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.440
All Right, all right, I'll go with you.
392
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.799
You don't need a straight jacket.
393
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.440
That's the way, Steve. You'll probably feel better by morning.
394
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:56.000
Let's go.
395
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.640
We'll ask Steve tomorrow. I'll drive you over to the hospital.
396
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.039
See Mary and the kid. Sure, look at the ship
397
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:16.599
under the thread lights. Pretty. Huh. You'll be flying her
398
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.720
again soon, don't you worry?
399
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:18.799
Yeah?
400
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:19.839
Yeah, I guess so.
401
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.039
But you're doing not in a line the refueler.
402
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.319
Yeah. We got Plasewitz coming in tomorrow from Denver for
403
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.240
another test. Figure. We give you a day off and
404
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:30.960
that's good.
405
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:31.799
That's fine.
406
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:36.839
See see come back, come on, do ntum steeve. See way.
407
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.400
He's heading for the rocket. Well there he goes up.
408
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.119
Not crazy.
409
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.359
You can't get out him now that covers armor glass.
410
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.240
He's waving towards control.
411
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.079
It's the radio.
412
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.880
He needs the radio.
413
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:55.119
Come on, I should have gotten help.
414
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.759
On the radio.
415
00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:58.599
St look up here.
416
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.559
Hello, hello, Steve, listen to me, Hank.
417
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:04.039
You got a car Washington.
418
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:05.480
Now, come out of that rocket, Steve.
419
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.480
I'll call my minute.
420
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:07.599
Don't try anything, Hank.
421
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:09.680
They refuel the rocket for tomorrow.
422
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:10.839
Take it easy, ste You listen.
423
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.519
You know what will happen when I fire the rocket.
424
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.119
Coats down here, Hee, don't pray out every building for
425
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.519
five miles, all of.
426
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.720
Us in one big flash.
427
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.000
Steve, what do you want?
428
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.400
You've got to stop that bar. You got a call
429
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.440
Washington right now.
430
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.359
They won't believe me.
431
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:24.519
You make that caller right.
432
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.359
Cut in the rocket.
433
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:29.880
I mean it, Hank, what Mike screen to yours in parallel?
434
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.400
I want to see exactly what you're doing?
435
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.400
All right, all right, just don't fire those rockets going.
436
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.759
Hank, you got twelve minutes to make that call and
437
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.559
stop that bomb.
438
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.759
All right, I'm making the parallel hook up right now. Donaldson,
439
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.680
you think you'll really blash?
440
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.319
I don't know. Up to now, I don't wanst say
441
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.359
it was normal, But now he's liable to do anything, cansei, Steve?
442
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:48.480
Steve, there you're getting it on your screen?
443

Get it through.
462
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.519
Listen, Washington, put it through. This is mister Hanson at
463
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.640
San Marco Airbase. This is a priority call. I'm coding
464
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.160
one moment.
465
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.160
Please, I will check your code numbers. Get that through.
466
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:37.680
Hang and goes off at twelve.
467
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.079
Will you be reasonable, Steve, Your call has cleared, San
468
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.079
Marco Washington Business Screen three, Herbert Ames, please.
469
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.160
Security Commission Aimes.
470
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:47.799
Listen to Ames.
471
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:48.880
Aimes.
472
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:50.759
You got to get me to the chief. Are you kidding?
473
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.079
Is it the test control room?
474
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:52.319
Yes?
475
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:53.359
I know, but get him for me.
476
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:53.880
What's up?
477
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:55.960
You look lousy? Or is it a bad circuit?
478
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.759
There's no time. I've got to get him before the test.
479
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.920
It's about to see our bar. I can't take that responsibility.
480
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.319
Oh Hank, right play?
481
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:03.319
What's going on there?
482
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.680
Aimes? My project has a high enough rating. This is
483
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:06.799
a priority a call.
484
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.640
What okay, it's your an eck. I'll try to get
485
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.039
him for you.
486
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.319
He's in the control room, so you'll have to switch
487
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:14.319
off your screen and speaker and go on airphones too.
488
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:16.559
What's going on in there? Security rolling here?
489
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:19.079
Let's Steve, I've got to cut the incoming screen.
490
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.039
All right, don't try anything.
491
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.599
Eight minutes Hank.
492
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.680
Hello, Hello, what you got him?
493
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:30.880
Hank?
494
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:39.359
Yes, this is Hansome at San Marco. No, sir, priority
495
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.319
a request to cancel the bomb test? No, No, I'm serious.
496
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:45.440
It's deadly serious. We sent the X two JTR up
497
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.559
today to the outer limit. We uncovered evidence, yes, on
498
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.799
the automatic instruments. Was no possible chain reaction. No, I
499
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.680
can't tell you the whole story. There isn't time here. Yes, yes,
500
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:58.240
I'll bring the readings into Washington the morning. You've got
501
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.279
to postpone the test till you see them. Look, I've
502
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.680
worked on contracts with the Commission for ten years. Yes, yes,
503
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:06.920
I have complete confidence in my information. You can record that.
504
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.920
All right, I'll call you back immediately.
505
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.519
Bye.
506
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.160
Hey, Hey, he's agreed to cancel. Steve, the bomb won't
507
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:15.519
go off.
508
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.480
All right, boy, you can come down.
509
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:39.359
I'm gonna shoot. He's opening up.
510
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:41.839
Here.
511
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.559
He comes.
512
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.279
All right, Steve, come on down.
513
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:49.039
Sure, Hank, it's a second.
514
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:54.200
Eh, thank you.
515
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.480
I was scared. I was plain scared.
516
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.680
He's you know, it's all over. The bomb won't block,
517
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.799
thank god. Look, I want to see Mary and the baby.
518
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.000
Can you get me transportation. Now, wait a minute, it's
519
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.759
almost twelve. They won't let you in the hospital.
520
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:11.960
Now.
521
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.920
I want to see the baby, Sure you do, but
522
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.599
you've been under the strain. I've got a shot for
523
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:20.079
you here, Steve. Give you a good night sleep, all right,
524
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:27.759
roll up your sleeve. Yeah yeah, yeah, that'll make you sleep, Roger.
525
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.240
We'll find you a bed, yes, sir, Come on, mister Weston, Okay,
526
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.000
good night, Hank.
527
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.799
I'm kind of beat.
528
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:45.200
It's been a tough night, it sure has. I thought
529
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.079
for a minute he was going to blast those rockets
530
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.279
and send us all the kingdom come.
531
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:48.839
Yeah.
532
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.799
Quite a stunt getting the ray bomb test called off.
533
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:58.039
It isn't, but the chief SAMs couldn't get the chief
534
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.359
I was talking to a dead circ bomb goes off
535
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.119
in a couple of minutes.
536
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.559
Oh, poor Steve.
537
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.680
He was one of the best. He was the best
538
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:16.000
one and ten million so story of this poor guy.
539
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.559
For a while, he almost had me believing that quarantine.
540
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.599
That's a very common delusion, end of the world.
541
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:32.640
Yeah, I suppose, so nice night. Never saw the star
542
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:35.319
so bright. We better be getting in that windows. Cold.
543
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:45.480
Bomb goes off in thirty seconds. Poor Steve, no Hanson.
544
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:50.119
There's just one thing. Yeah, it's outside my field. But
545
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:54.599
I'm curious how did he keep that ship in the
546
00:28:54.680 --> 00:29:15.599
air for ten hours with only ten minutes fuel. You
547
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:20.279
have just heard The Outer Limits by Graham Dorr, an
548
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.079
adventure in time, space and the unknown.
549
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.920
Now about next week? Have you ever heard of the
550
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.920
Mark III, the amazing electronic brain at Harvard that instantly
551
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.640
solves the most complicated scientific problems. Suppose you had a
552
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.039
mechanical brain like that in your house, a robot that
553
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.240
was always at your service so that you could just
554
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.960
sit with folded hands and relaxed the rest of your life.
555
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.559
That would be nice, would mean perfect. That's what they
556
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.359
thought when it happened in the year two thousand and six.
557
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:16.160
But they were wrong, terribly wrong. How I'll tell you
558
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:25.640
next week. Tonight's story transcribed on Dimension X. The Outer
559
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.240
Limit by Graham Dorr was adapted for radio by Ernest Cannoy.
