Will you take control now, please?
We have Zeus 4. Thank you, Geneva.
Snowcaps is Zeus 4.
Over to local control channel, J for Jimmy.
Over to J for Jimmy now.
Good morning, gentlemen.
You lucky devils. Have a nice trip.
Why not come up and join us?
The penguins might miss me.
Take over, will you, Buckley?
Thank you, sir.
Dyson, give Texas tracking the next orbital pattern, will you?
Right, will do.
Snowcap, Zeus 4.
Morning, Bloom. Morning, Glynn.
How do you read me?
Loud and clear, Snowcap. Loud and clear.
Hey, you have the great view of your weather.
Now, is it your end?
There's a blizzard and an eight-force wind.
Repeat your velocity for ground, please.
Well, let's see.
We have 18,250 at, uh...
O...
132.
William's coming in.
Cross-big-bear measurements are now complete.
Are you ready to receive data?
Go ahead.
Okay, Bloom. Let him have it.
Are you receiving it?
I'm receiving one, okay.
Man, it's blowing like crazy out there.
All I can see is snow, snow, and more snow.
Quite an arctic storm blowing out there.
Hm. Come along, Polly, my child, my cloak.
Hey, Doctor, you've got the most fantastic wardrobe.
Yes, and I'm glad you approve, my child.
It's gorgeous. Where did you shop, Con?
Where do you think you are? The nook of the North or something?
Oh, now, now, now. Chur, chur, chur. Stop being so flippant.
We don't know what we're in for outside there.
A church, a church.
A church.
What do you think we're in for outside there?
Come along, come along, come along.
Here you are, Doctor.
Are you sure you're going to be warm enough?
Oh, like toast, my dear. Now, did you find everything you want?
Yes, thanks.
All right, well, let's go outside and investigate. Go along.
Doctor was right about this being the coldest place on Earth.
I'm freezing already.
Yeah.
Hey, what's this?
Some kind of an aerial.
There must be something buried underneath here.
Hey, look over there. There's something moving.
Don't touch it, Polly.
Looks like some kind of periscope.
Some kind of a submarine or something down there.
Hey, Tito, would you come over here?
Oh, what is it?
I can see people.
Sure, sure. Lots of people.
And there's a woman.
A woman? Hey, come on.
Hey, hey.
Mamma mia, bellissima.
Looks like some kind of a hut.
Quick, take those small arms.
Get upstairs and bring them down.
I think we'd better go with them.
Move it. Come on. Hurry up.
Come on, let's go. Let's go. Come on, pup.
Will you move it? Will you move it, pup?
Let's go. Come on.
Just a moment, pup. Now, who are you and what are you doing here?
Oh, we just landed outside.
What in?
Well, it's a sort of spaceship, actually.
You can knock off the joke.
She's not joking.
Look, buddy, I want the truth and quick.
Can you tell us precisely where we are?
You're at the South Pole Base of International Space Command.
And frankly, pup, doctor, doctor,
your story's going to have to be awful good.
So you mean we are on Earth?
Well, you heard the South Pole.
Oh, boy, Tito, get the CO.
He's not going to like it. Get him!
Why don't you speak up, pup, Jeff?
CO. The commanding officer, the boss.
Hello, sir?
Private Tito, duty guard here.
Could you give a message to the general, please?
General? General Cutler, the CO.
Sir, I know,
but this is an emergency.
What's that?
The general's not there.
Well, can you tell me where he is, then?
Right here, private.
What is this, sir?
Well, sir...
Who are these people?
Well, sir, they just appeared outside.
What?
Yes, sir, as I said, they just appeared from a hut.
A hut?
Yes, sir, never been there before.
That's a lie, general. That's just the way it happens.
Well, who are you?
Able Seaman Ben Jackson, sir, Royal Navy.
Then why aren't you with your ship?
Oh, it's a bit difficult to explain, sir.
I'll bet my sweet life it is.
We don't intend you any harm, general.
I can assure you of that.
You can assure me of what you like,
but whether I'll believe you or not is another question.
I haven't got time to deal with these now.
But when I do,
you'd better have a good explanation.
I don't like your tone, sir.
And I don't like your tone.
And I don't like your face, nor your hair.
Sergeant, bring him into tracking
and put him under guard in the observation room.
I'll deal with them as soon as I have time.
Yes, sir.
Okay, come on, move.
Advance, advance.
Hey!
All right, all right.
Don't sit there like a lot of frustrated penguins.
Get on with it.
Hey, look at the machine.
It looks just like that rocket place in America.
Yeah, but I wonder why there's so few people.
I mean, it's not like what you see on the telly, is it?
I don't know what you see on your TV, son,
but this is General Cutler's outfit.
Come on, you'd better take a seat.
He don't like a lot of personnel.
Cuts down to the bare minimum and works them right into the ground.
We only spend a couple of months on this station anyway.
We can't stand more than that.
We can catch a lift back to England.
I can't see the squad. They're giving us a free lift anywhere.
Ed, I don't want to depress you both,
but I'm afraid we're not quite where you think we are.
What do you mean?
Here, just take a peek at this.
1986?
Oh, no, and I thought we'd be able to get home.
Yeah, we're still at sea.
Hey, but that'll explain the few people.
Them computers must do all the work now.
Yeah, I wonder if they've got the moon yet.
Sure, don't you listen to the noise?
You have said people to the moon.
They should just return.
Well, what's this flight then?
Oh, this is just a normal atmosphere testing probe.
Yes, I see, a rocket testing site.
Hey, what's that?
An error? Where?
Looks bad.
We're now over South Island, New Zealand,
and reading a height of 1100 miles.
1100? But that's impossible.
Dyson, check what it should be, will you?
It should be 980.
No, it can't be. Let me try.
Let me do it.
They're out of position by more than 100 miles.
Looks like it.
Snowcap to Zeus 4, can you read me?
Zeus 4 to Snowcap, strength ain't over.
Take visual checks on Mars to establish position.
Report back.
Will do, all right.
Did you get that, Dan?
Yeah.
Okay, go ahead.
Should be about 420.
No.
It's 432.
Can't be.
Try again.
I am.
Come on, shake it up. We'll be back in sunrise in a bit.
Got it, Adclyde.
Did you read conversation?
Yes. We're getting a Mars 6-2.
We'll call back.
And, Glenn.
Yeah?
Now, take it easy, but...
Come on, what is it?
It wasn't Mars I had.
Well, that explains it, doesn't it?
Come on, now, Dan, try again.
Now, listen, Glenn, there's something else out there.
What do you mean?
There's another planet out there.
Another?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
There is something.
Can't see properly, but it reads as if it was in orbit between Mars and Venus.
Yeah, that's it.
Somehow I can't put my finger on it, but it looks kind of familiar.
Yeah.
Time of dawn.
Well, I guess we've had any further observation for a bit.
Hello, Snowcap.
We're now in door number San Francisco.
Can you get this object from where you are?
Snowcap to Zeus 4, you are very faint.
Put up your power output, please.
It is up.
Reading you strength 3.
Come in, please.
Repeat, can you get this object on your retina scope?
Can do.
Hey.
Hey, Dan.
That's odd.
Yeah?
Fuel cells are showing a power loss.
I'll find it, sir.
Here we are.
All right, excuse me, my dear.
Take this to your general, please.
Me? You crazy?
Very well, then take me to the general.
I think perhaps I can help him.
I don't know.
Now, look here, Sergeant.
I insist.
General, sir.
Yeah, what is it?
The old boy would like to have a word with you.
He claims it's urgent.
Okay, bring him over.
But make it fast.
I think I know what you're going to see.
How can you possibly?
Oh, get him back over there.
I've written down here what he will see.
Now, take your hands off me, please.
It's not very clear, but it's a planet, all right.
How could it be?
A planet so just up here.
It must be on an oblique orbit.
It's approaching quite fast.
Barclay, couldn't it be?
I know what you're thinking.
Zeus IV is out of orbit and a new planet will appear.
Therefore, the new planet is influencing Zeus IV.
That's about it.
We must get them down.
An emergency spice dome.
Yes.
Stoke-Ad calling Zeus IV.
Come in, please.
Zeus IV, come in, please.
Do you read me?
Yes, we read you loud and clear.
You are strength too, only.
Come in, please.
Speak up.
You yourself are showing a power loss.
Power loss?
How much?
Man breaks it down approximately 20%.
We are going to bring you down.
Roger.
We need coordinates correct orbit.
Stand by.
What the heck's going on, Glenn?
I don't know.
Let's get down there and find out.
Snoke-Apt is Zeus IV.
Corrected coordinates are 004820823.
Right.
Now correct.
Ready or not, as you touched, Louis?
Ready.
Okay.
Go.
Again.
Look.
We're tumbling.
Yeah.
Use the medical controls.
We're trembling.
Come on.
What the heck's going on?
I feel absolutely clamped down.
I've got all the air right on my body.
Zeus IV will splash down at 1445 your time.
Thank you.
Keep checking.
Yes.
All helicopters to area six immediately.
Hello, Rome computer base.
Final descent path, please.
Compute and report.
Snoke-Apt to Zeus IV, your flight path is now correcting.
It's increasing and something's happened to our limbs.
We're both finding great difficulty in moving.
Well, you've been up there a fair time.
It's probably just space fatigue.
No, it's quite different.
We had to operate the manual controls together.
Neither of us could have done it alone.
Well, we have your descent path now.
You'll have to bring us in this time, Ron.
We can't hang on any longer.
You must.
We can't bring you in this time.
You'll overshoot.
We'll never make it, Lee.
Yes, we will, Bluey.
Come on now.
We'll check the re-entry controls.
Ready?
Yes.
Ratchets one and three.
OK.
Main chute cover.
Check.
Heat shield bolts.
Right.
Hey, Bluey, what did you make of our position?
We're swinging out again.
Emergency.
We've lost my path again.
Give correction, please.
Urgent.
Will do.
Stand by.
It must be the planet.
Its gravity is affecting the capsule.
What should we do about it?
Well, first of all, we must give Zeus 4 a new correction path.
Will you do that?
Right away.
You try and get a better fix on that so-called planet and see what it is.
Roger.
I'll do it now.
You say you know what this planet is.
Well, what is it?
Well, I'm not quite sure, sir.
Let me have another look into this instrument.
Over.
Feed the retinascope into the observations room's monitor.
Look, Dr. Barclay, let's just get these boys down.
General, general, yes, it's just as I thought.
Come and have a look at these land masses.
Land masses?
I don't see...
See what you mean?
Now, doesn't that remind you of anything?
Remind?
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, it looks familiar somehow.
Yeah.
Hey, Ben, look, that bit looks just like Malaysia.
Ah, give over.
No, hang on.
Isn't that...
Well, it looks like South America, but it can't be, though.
But there is a similarity.
Nonsense, how could there be?
This is unbelievable.
That's surely Africa.
Yes, certainly, and that is Malaysia.
Ridiculous.
There must be some reflection of Earth.
No, it can't be.
There's nothing to reflect on.
And now, my dear Dr. Barclay, I suggest you look at that piece of paper I gave you.
Paper?
Oh, yes.
You knew.
Certainly.
Knew what?
He has correctly written down what we have just seen, and he did it before we saw it.
Well, it's a simple confidence trick, that's all.
No, I know, and he gave me the paper.
Now, you clearly know something more about this situation.
Can you be more explicit?
Yes, sir, I am sorry.
I'm afraid I can.
You see, millions of years ago, there was a twin planet...
Oh, for heaven's sake!
Roger, you four, we will give you full information.
Over and out.
You ought to give the over.
Let's see what Wigner has to say about this.
You're looking terribly worried, Doctor.
Am I, my dear?
Yes, I'm afraid I am rather worried.
What is it, Doctor?
What's up?
Well, you see, Ben, I know what this planet is and what it means to Earth.
What does it mean to Earth?
Well, that pretty soon we shall be having visitors.
Visitors?
What air!
What are you bringing?
Father Christmas on his sledge?
Oh, quiet, boy, quiet!
ISC Geneva, put me through to the General Secretary immediately.
Yes, that's right.
May I ask who that was?
You're late, soldier.
I was due for my break five minutes ago.
Doctor, you don't know nothing about what's going on.
That's the Secretary General of International Space Command, Mr. Wigner.
This is very hard to believe, General.
Are you quite sure?
Yes, sir, there is no doubt at all.
Very well.
Just a moment, please.
Get on to Mount Palomar, ask them to provide us with a picture as soon as possible.
Contact Jodrell Bank and ask them to get an exact fix on this.
We must have data and quickly.
Let me know the moment you have any more information, General.
I'll do that, sir, but there's one more thing.
Yes?
We have three intruders.
Intruders?
At the Pole?
Where did they come from?
Well, I haven't interrogated yet, sir, but one of them seems to know a good deal about this new planet.
How can he possibly know?
I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
Do that.
Relay at once any further information.
I'll do that, sir.
Now, suppose you tell me how you really...
Yes, sir, I'm afraid all that's going to be rather difficult.
Now, just a minute.
You turn up out of nowhere, a routine space shot goes wrong, a new planet appears,
and you tell us you know all about it, that puts you slap, bang on the hot seat, right?
Hot seat?
But we've got nothing to do with it.
That you're going to have to prove.
Well, I think if you allow us to return where we came from...
You're not going anywhere.
Sergeant?
Yes, sir?
Have you searched that hut yet?
No, sir, we haven't.
Well, why not?
Look, I don't want any excuses.
Get out there and do it immediately.
Now, perhaps we'll get to the bottom of this.
Come on, Tito, we have to go break into our hut.
What? That thing out there?
Yeah, that's right.
Come on, hurry up and get dressed up.
Oh, Mama.
Oh, no, Tito, we'll need a welding torch to get inside this thing.
Get back inside and bring me out one.
You'll need some help, okay?
Hurry up, will you?
Before I freeze to death.
What the heck?
Tito?
Is that you, Tito?
What's going on here?
Get out of there!
What the heck are you?
Okay, Joe, this should do it.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, this should do it, eh, Sarge?
What's going on?
