Don't be shooting! I'm sorry!
Don't you see, about her?
She's not just joking!
Throw the light guns into the paper rapidly.
No don't!
See, when I can't breathe...
Fool!
The other light guns, right immediately!
She said man shouldn't shoot!
No, don't, my boy. Don't give it to them.
The doors are opening!
Wait! Get the doctor out!
What about you?
Do as I say! Don't worry about me!
Come on, doctor!
Right, now you get back!
What's happened? They're escaped?
They're escaped? Who opened the doors?
Someone has helped the strangers to escape! Give the alarm!
You! You opened the doors!
Don't be ridiculous, young man. Why would I do that?
You seem to forget that I'm in charge here.
Why would I do anything to help our enemies?
You know it, but if you didn't do it...
Kindly remember to whom you are speaking. I am...
Get back to your work, Captain.
What about the strangers? You want us to go after them?
The strangers? Oh, yes.
Yes, instruct B patrol to make ready.
I'll take charge of them myself.
No, Captain, you will not. I will lead the patrol.
Doctor, please, you must try to go on.
Please try. Is there any sign of them?
No, not yet, but they're bound to be following.
Oh, come on, doctor. Come on!
It's my head.
Doesn't he care what happens?
He doesn't even know!
Look out!
It's all right. It's a child.
How did you get him away? I did not think it was possible.
Look at the state he's in.
Yes, I've seen many of our people like that.
That is how they leave us.
Will he recover? Yes, but it takes time.
Where can we hide him, Charles?
The place is safe, but it's best to take him to the caves.
Quickly, they're right behind us. Charles, you and Dodo, get the doctor to the caves.
I'll try and hold them back. But what can you do?
I can delay them for a little while.
Now go on. You're going to need all the time you can get.
I can't see them.
That way.
The strangers may have done one of two things, Captain.
They may have tried to get back to their spaceship,
or they may have gone on to the valley of caves.
I suggest we split up.
Take two men and see if the strangers have tried to reach their machine.
I will go on to the valley.
You two, guard the stranger's space machine.
You are not going with them?
I will come with you, Jane.
I think you may need my help.
Very well.
Look out!
Strangers!
Just one of them. He's over there behind those rocks.
We'll have to split up and work round the side of him.
You take that side, and I'll take this.
Jane, you can watch him from here.
Right.
Will he be all right?
Who can tell? He is a brave man.
Are we nearly there?
It's not far to the valley of the caves.
Only the Doctor would move faster.
You must understand, he's not himself.
It's as though he were asleep still.
Help him. Do not be angry with him.
I'm sorry.
What happened?
He's not here.
He's playing for time.
The longer he can delay us, the more chance they've got of getting the Doctor to the caves.
He's not here.
Come on.
Shall we don it? There's your cave.
What are my people doing? There's no guard.
Take this.
Thank you.
Let me see your head.
I'm all right.
It's a pity I didn't kill him when I had the chance.
People of his kind must be destroyed.
If there is to be any hope for the rest of us.
We will not save ourselves that way, Thor.
You hear her?
Narnina protects our enemies.
This is a dangerous man.
What do we do?
Let him go so he may attack us again?
Or do we get rid of our enemies to help ourselves?
Chal is our leader.
He and the strangers have given us orders.
This man is not to be hurt.
I do not trust the strangers.
And Chal is not here.
All right, Thor.
I am here.
You would fight for this man, Narnina?
How can an enemy mean so much?
Thor!
Where are you?
It's Chal!
Where is he now?
Help him!
Where is the other stranger?
He will come.
How did he get away?
You must ask your guards.
It will be too late.
They will be in the valley by now.
There is someone coming.
It's Stephen.
Get him inside, quick!
They are right behind me.
There they are!
Fire!
Get him into the back of the cave, quick!
And get him some of those capsules.
Which capsules?
Those that we gave to the savage.
Yes, I forgot.
He's moving.
He's a leader, Jano.
Quickly, fire now!
Shoot!
Doctor Jano!
Doctor, what are you doing?
You must not harm Jano.
But he is a leader!
Please carry out my instructions.
And do not harm Jano.
It's too late now.
Yes.
Take him down.
Doctor?
Here.
Take this.
Go on, take it.
Don't use it unless you have to.
Are you all right, Doctor?
Yes, I think so, my dear.
I must have fallen into some kind of a coma.
I don't know.
I don't know.
All my powers are being swept.
You have let their leader escape.
Where am I?
These are the cave dwellings where Charlene's people live.
We've got to get back to Batardis.
Oh, no, my dear.
No, no, we can't leave yet.
No, we've got a lot of work to do.
Work?
Yes, yes.
I don't intend to leave these people in this oppressed state.
Well, you're never going to convince the elders that Charlene's people should be treated like human beings.
Yes, you're probably right, my boy.
I shan't even try.
Well, what are you going to do?
I am going to destroy the power that they hold over you.
Destroy the laboratory?
Yes, precisely.
Well, how are we going to get in?
They'll be waiting for us this time.
All we need is one friend from the other side.
But that is not possible.
I think we have him already, my dear.
It is getting dark.
I want you to return to the city.
Leave you here alone?
Yes.
I shall be all right.
I can't do that.
I refuse to.
I am still your leader, Edal, and this is an order.
Tell Sintra and the elders that I shall return with the strangers as prisoners.
I obey.
I have gone.
All of them?
It's hard to tell.
It's too dark.
Yes, I think you will find they've left one behind.
I'll stand guard.
Yes, there is no need to, my boy.
You speak in riddles, you say.
They have left one behind, but we do not need a guard.
That is correct.
We'll wait until it's dark, and then I think we shall have a visitor.
But you shouldn't have left him there, Edal.
I was forced to.
He is acting very strangely.
He's not at all himself.
Are you sure?
Jano has changed.
That's a dangerous accusation to make.
Here you'll repeat it in front of them.
I was ordered to return here by Jano.
Elders, I believe we are about to be betrayed.
Someone's coming.
There's no need for that, my boy.
Don't be alarmed.
It's the doctor, sir.
It's Jano.
Yes, I'm here, Jano.
We were expecting you.
Tell your people they are quite safe, child.
Jano comes as a friend.
Do not be afraid.
We must trust this man.
How do you know that I come as a friend?
Oh, my dear Jano, it wasn't difficult.
I knew you were to undergo the entrance yourself.
You knew that?
Yes, an unknown experiment.
And you're not the type of man to allow others to take risks.
You're right, doctor.
But now tell me, what has happened to me?
Well, it's all very simple.
You wanted my intellect.
You got it.
And along with it, you received a little conscience.
Conscience?
Yes, yes, you see, Jano is now saddled with the sense of right and wrong,
which makes him an explosive element in a civilization such as his.
Is this true?
It must be.
All I know is that since the experiment, I have not been sure of myself.
I have grown aware of the evil that we have done.
And I'm determined to end it.
You are going to help us?
Yes.
Your friends would never agree.
I know.
I will not try to persuade them.
Jano has another plan.
How did you know, doctor?
I think it's like mine.
Pull him!
He's gone.
If he gets back, that will be the end of your fine plan.
We must take that chance.
Nannina!
Why did you follow?
If you betray Jano, what will become of us?
It is Jano who is the traitor.
What have you learned, Teixeiros?
That we are people like yourselves.
What chance will we ever have if you speak?
I think I can keep silent about what I've heard.
You owe me your life, Teixeiros.
I have a right to ask you.
If you are against us now, you condemn us forever.
I promised Jano that I would tell no one about the intransference.
But now I must.
It appears that Jano has absorbed dangerous ideas from the doctor.
What can we do?
We can no longer trust Jano.
He is not fit to lead us.
I will take command, declare an emergency.
We must be ready at all, Jano.
Everyone must do as I command.
You too, doctor.
No one will turn back.
And now we must move.
You were a prisoner in the cave.
That is correct.
Jano.
I left him there alone.
He had some plan.
I did not see him.
According to Captain Edal, Jano is no longer to be trusted.
He has gone over to the savages.
Come on.
Get a move on there.
Come on, get along.
Come on.
Are you sure, Exos?
You have nothing further to report.
Nothing, Captain.
Strange.
Very strange.
We'll see what the interrogators can get out of you.
Only the leader has the right to send citizens to the interior.
Captain Edal has called an emergency.
He has taken over the leadership in the absence of Jano.
In the absence of Jano.
We did not expect you back, Jano.
Why not?
Did I not say that I would be back with prisoners?
Bring in the strangers.
So you were wrong, Edal.
Captain Edal informed us that you had gone over to the enemy, Jano.
He has tried to take your place.
Put the captain under arrest.
Both of you, I demand to be heard.
You will be heard.
At the right time and place.
Take him away.
We apologize, Jano.
We thought that something had happened to you during the entrance.
Seal off the doors.
Are we to prepare these savages for battle?
Seal off the doors.
What's happening? I insist upon knowing.
You will find what I'm going to say very difficult to understand.
All the elders of our city are here.
And so is the source of our supremacy on this planet.
No man easily gives up the means which give him power.
I don't understand you, Jano.
That is what I am asking you to do.
I want you to destroy all this.
What?
The laboratory, the generators?
All the machinery which we have used to destroy our fellows.
They are not our fellows, Jano.
They are the savages.
They are not capable of development like this.
How do you know?
All history proves it.
The savages are good only to provide us with energy.
The laboratory must not be destroyed.
These people whom you call savages are our equals.
What we have done to them is wrong.
If you will not destroy all this, then I must.
What are you doing? Stop it!
This is our only chance to stop life afresh on this planet.
Help me!
Are you hurt?
Help me!
Help me!
We cannot get in!
Never mind, dear.
There is something very satisfying in destroying something that is evil, don't you think?
Yes!
This is only the beginning, child.
After this destruction, our people must learn to live well that they can both live in.
And both sides must learn to trust each other.
We may need a new leader, somebody who can unite us.
My purest strangers know this great. It is they who have done this to us.
Kill the doctor on sight. These are my orders.
Save Kato!
Stay where you are.
What can you do now? The place is destroyed. Your power is gone.
You! I should have killed you a long time ago.
And you, doctor.
You would have done this to us.
Evil! You have no more authority here.
You are a traitor. I do not take orders from traitors.
Drop it!
Doctor, we already owe you much.
And now I owe you my life.
Jano, since you have destroyed the power you held over Chal and his people,
you realize now, of course, you've got to learn to live together.
Yes, but the fear and hatred of the past will only die slowly.
We need someone like yourself as a mediator until we have become one people.
I see, but in my case, I'm afraid that is utterly impossible.
The man we need must inspire trust.
His judgments must come from his heart, even more than his head.
There is the leader we want, Jano.
This is what I thought.
Just a minute. I could...
A great honor, dear boy.
I can't walk out on you and do this.
Don't think of the challenge to be able to set up the people of these planets for a new life.
You're quite ready for this task.
You think I can do it?
Yes, I do. And you're the only man who can, my boy.
Has the offer come from both sides?
You would give us new hope.
Our people will become great again.
We will learn to live as equals without bitterness.
What about Thor?
I should accept your decisions.
Very well. I will stay.
Thank you. Thank you.
And thank you.
You have justified our fate.
I shall miss you both, Dada.
I shall miss you.
Doctor, for many light years, we looked forward to your arrival on this planet.
We always knew of your wisdom, but we never dreamed of the miracle that it would bring us.
Thank you, Jano. And if ever you need the benefit of my wisdom again,
I trust and hope you will allow me to express myself with my own free will,
rather than place me in an oven and try and cook it out of me.
Come, child. We must summon our people.
There is much work to be done.
We shall await you in our council chamber.
Well, I must say, young man, I'm very proud of you.
Doctor, I don't know if...
I know, I know, my boy. Well, go on. You mustn't keep them waiting.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Goodbye, Stephen. And good luck.
Bye, Doctor.
Bye.
You won't make me ever see him again.
Oh, who knows, my dear?
In this strange complex of time and space, anything can happen.
Come along, little one. Let's go.
We mustn't look back.
THE END
