This is a warning. Danger! There is a stranger.
He must be found and eliminated at once.
Stop your work and start searching immediately.
He must be found.
Polly, what are you doing here? I came to look for you.
Did the doctor tell you where I was? Yes.
Be careful, don't go in there. Why?
It's incredible. I must get back to the doctor and report to him.
What's incredible? What have you seen in there?
I can't tell you now, Duchess. Keep back, I'm telling you.
Because the people in there have gone mad.
They seem as though they've been hypnotized or brainwashed.
What else did you see?
There was a mechanical monster and it moved.
It just killed someone. Come on, we must get out of here.
Polly, come on!
The stranger is beyond that door bearing 215 degrees.
He must be taken at once.
He is a threat to the security of the war machine.
On no account... Polly, move!
Lock all the outside doors. He must not leave the building.
That's it, let's get out of here.
What have you got, ma'am? What are you doing?
There's a beast, Polly, open it! I have my instructions.
Polly, what's happened to you? You are not to escape.
I've got to get out of here. Come on, get out of the way.
Come on, Polly, I'll... I'm... I'm out of the way.
You are not to escape!
I must...
Help!
Polly, do you know what you're doing? Go and get the doctor before it's too late.
Bring him here. The machine will deal with him.
Polly, go, go!
Go and get the doctor, Polly!
Bring him. The stranger has been spied.
Polly! Bring him. The stranger has been spied. Polly!
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.
Take my advice, doctor, it's no good upsetting yourself.
Oh, yes, that boy, that boy should be back here ages ago.
Well, you know what young people are, he's probably been distracted by something.
He really seemed quite a responsible young lad.
I suppose if he hasn't phoned, it's because he hasn't been...
Well, he has not been able to.
Well, what do you suppose stopped him?
I must say, we've given him four hours, but it is time that I asked the police to investigate.
No, Sir Charles, I don't think we ought to allow the police to intervene at the moment,
otherwise we might drive this threat further underground, or whatever it is.
Precisely. Whatever it is.
Oh, dammit, man, you've got no evidence.
You must not let rumour upset the big switch on this.
Well, unless I am very much mistaken, we're going to have a lot more than rumour to contend with.
Oh, dear me, where is that boy?
You tried to warn human authority of our work in this building.
You are an enemy of mechanised evolution.
Nothing must be allowed to prevent the machines taking over.
They are the next stage in the growth of life force on earth.
All obstacles will be swept aside, including you.
You're mad! It'll be your turn next!
We are needed by Botan. Botan will decide our fate.
You are mad. All of you.
Polly, can't you see what's happened to you?
What does the girl want?
I trapped him. I did not let him escape.
That is true.
Botan requires all the labour we can find.
It is too soon to destroy this stranger.
Let him work and destroy him later.
How do you know what Botan wants?
I have just come from Professor Brett.
These are his orders and the orders of Botan.
Very well. Let him live.
He will work for us.
You must all work. Go back to your work.
That was a close one. Thanks, girl.
You really plied him along. You even had me fooled.
You have been spared.
Now you must work hard for the success of this great new cause.
What cause?
The discovery of the war machines.
All war machines will be ready to attack by noon tomorrow.
The machines have been programmed to destroy any form of human life that opposes them.
The order to attack must come from Botan alone.
None are fully completed yet.
The Covent Garden machine is now on its final tests.
The programming of these machines is near completion.
All war machines must be disciplined.
They must attack simultaneously.
The objective of the attack is to take over strategic centers and take control of all human authority.
Hush, sir. All human beings who break down will be eliminated.
There is no time for rest.
We must follow the example of the machines.
Are you okay, Dux?
Why do you speak?
Look at you. You're nearly on the ground.
I'm very well. I am happy to work for the success of the machines.
Come off it. Love you can hardly stand up.
That is not important.
Oh, yes. Sure.
We must not stop.
Our work must be complete by tomorrow noon.
Why by noon?
The attack is to begin.
Attack?
The takeover of London by the war machines.
Oh, that.
And you're looking forward to it, eh?
Of course.
We're all so keen on even taking the guard off the door.
Naturally. None of us wish to leave.
We all wish to stay for the moment of victory.
Oh, yeah. Victory. That's right.
And we'll all be here, won't we?
All explosives to be collected here.
All explosives to be examined and primed, ready for use by noon tomorrow.
Work. Work.
The success of the war machines depends on us.
Well, I can't wait any longer. I must take a look for myself.
But, Doctor...
After what happened to Dodo, my dear sir, we should never have let those youngsters out of our sight.
It might be Ben now.
I'll see.
Come in, mate.
My dear boy.
What's happened to you, lad?
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Now, take your time. Take your time.
Where's Paddy?
She's still there, Doctor.
They've got her. She's one of them now.
What do you mean, they've got her? Where is she?
She's in a warehouse.
Where?
A warehouse in Covent Garden.
And there's a machine.
A killer machine.
And if we don't stop it, it'll kill off London.
Where is he?
You are responsible for the stranger. Where is he?
Do you know what has happened to him?
Answer.
He escaped.
How do you know?
I saw him.
You saw him and you did not give the alarm?
No.
Why not?
I don't know.
You are working for the machines.
You are an instrument only.
You have no friends.
You have no will of your own.
Friends?
He was my friend.
She has betrayed Votan.
She must therefore be sent back to Votan to be punished.
Oh, tell me that you believe this fantastic story, Doctor.
Well, I'm afraid I do.
What? This machine made by man that it suddenly come to life?
Yes, I had suspected something of that sort.
Oh, come on, Doctor.
The boy's been suffering some sort of delusion.
Oh, my dear Sir Charles, how would you know that?
Because it's impossible.
Here in the heart of London...
Look, I'm telling you, it has happened.
Don't let's waste any more time arguing.
We are not wasting time, my dear boy.
We need Sir Charles' authority, his help.
Without this, we can do nothing.
Look, Sir Charles, every minute we waste is dangerous.
They look as if they're preparing an arsenal to blow up the London.
Well, if this is so, I want the police informed.
Well, I'm telling you now, aren't I?
I nearly got done. What more do you want?
You inform them and if you don't, you'll be on your own head.
I don't like your tone, young man.
I am quite prepared to accept the truth of this boy's statement.
All right.
If you consider it necessary, I'll have a word with the Commissioner of Police.
No, Sir Charles.
I think the police might find it too big for them to handle at the moment.
Well, that is for them to decide.
How many of them were there?
About 20.
And you say that they were obeying this machine?
Yes.
They said something about all machines must be ready by noon tomorrow, then they attack.
Ah, well, we shall see.
It should be a fairly simple matter to surround this place and arrest 20 people.
And who'll do that? The coppers?
That is what the police are for.
But that machine will make mincemeat of them in 20 seconds, that!
Then presumably they'll send for the army and that'll put a stop to this machine of theirs.
I'm afraid we've got all our priorities mixed up.
They may be able to destroy this machine, but in all probability there are others waiting to attack us.
Well, I'm sure there are.
Exactly.
And we don't know their location.
And I doubt very much if we can find them all by tomorrow noon.
No.
I think we should strike at what I believe to be the centre of this menace.
Wotan.
Oh, no, I hardly think that'll be necessary.
There's no evidence to link Professor Brett with this machine of yours.
No link-up? What about Polly?
I've had quite enough from you, young man.
I shall handle this affair my own way.
Well, what's he going to do?
Well, I fear we've riled him, my boy.
You see, the official mind can only take in so much at a time.
However, we must keep our weather eyes open.
Come along.
Hello.
Hello, hello.
Operator.
I seem to have been cut off.
Ah, is that you, Minister?
No?
Well, for heaven's sake, call him out of the conference, man.
This is an emergency.
What's that?
No, I'm not telling you again.
Ah.
Is that you, Minister?
Yes, yes, this is very serious indeed.
Some kind of killer machine, I'm told.
It's like a tank. It has about 20 men with it.
Yes, I should say this would call for firearms.
Just as well to be prepared.
Huh?
What do you think you might call the army?
Well, just as you say, of course.
No.
No, well, I've given your man all the details.
It's the common garden area, I'm told.
Fine.
Right, well, I'm off down there right away.
Goodbye, Minister.
Right, on the double.
These bearings certainly intersect here.
Yes, that's the building, isn't it, Sir Charles?
Yes, that's it.
Thank you, Sergeant.
We've been taking bearings.
There's a good deal of radio and electrical activity there.
Have you any idea what's causing it?
Well, I've been given to understand there's a large amount of explosive in there and a new kind of war machine.
How much truth there is in that, I don't know.
Are the people inside?
We don't know how they'll react yet.
Oh, they won't get very far.
We've got a couple of platoons covering the back of the building.
My lads, both ends of this road, watching the front.
Yes, well, I think we'd better have a look inside first. Send some of your men in.
It's all arranged. There's a patrol standing by.
Say the word and they'll go in and have a look around.
This might be a little more dangerous than we think.
Don't worry, Sir Charles. My lads can handle it.
All right, then. When you're ready, go ahead.
All right, Sergeant. Stage one.
Calling Orange Patrol. Calling Orange Patrol.
Your objective number one. Recognise her and report.
Go ahead. Over.
Orange Patrol calling. No sign of anyone.
There's a door here. Do we go in? Over.
Will we go in, sir?
Give me that.
Hello, Orange Patrol? Search entire building.
Take your time and be prepared for anything. Over.
They're sending in the rest of the warehouse. Out.
Make that one of me. Keep down.
Let's go.
Something's happening. We're getting interference.
There is a new source of electrical energy close at hand.
Warning, warning, warning. There are intruders. Warning.
Attack. Destroy the intruders. They must not escape.
Cover all the exits. Fire.
We have to stop.
Fire.
No one must escape.
Fire.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Hello, Orange Patrol? Hello, Orange Patrol?
Corporal, can you hear me? Over.
There's a situation in the warehouse. We've got to get out.
Fire.
What is happening, Sir Charles?
We don't know yet.
And what is in there?
We have patrols.
They must not escape.
Look out!
They must be destroyed.
We don't have enough men, Father.
What is the matter, Corporal?
Is that you, Sir?
They wiped us out.
Who did?
What are you talking about?
The machines.
What machines?
It's over there.
Oh, I am out.
William haseroff ahead and...
Down in front of us.
Can't srain their hands.
Cease fire!
Let me aloud, Hailer.
Now listen to me.
You are completely surrounded.
Stop the machine and come out.
If you try any tricks, we shall open fire again.
All right, Captain. We can't destroy it.
Enemy in your level time. Fire!
He's coming here, sir. Fire! Fire, men!
He's got you, sir. You can't.
He must be Nazi.
I don't think we can stop, sir. We'll have to evacuate this place.
We can't leave now. We can't let that thing loose over London.
It's no good, sir. The weapons are jamming.
Look out, sir!
Fine. Everybody back on the cover.
No!
