Oh, splendid, splendid! You've got a very good band there, Barney.
Thank you, Pilot.
Mind you, I didn't see you come first to the festival, but never said I.
What?
Nothing succeeds like success. If at first you don't succeed...
Try, try, try again!
That's right!
Stop him! Don't let him get out!
What's the matter?
Medoc!
This is very foolish of you, Medoc. It's for your own good.
Out of my way!
It's far too dangerous to be allowed to escape.
Get after him!
You should have stopped him.
What happened, Nola?
He refused treatment in front of my guards, so I dismissed him and he made a dash for it.
Now get after him.
He must not get away.
Hey!
Oh, Ben, for goodness sake!
What's the big stick for, Jamie? Nothing's happened yet.
How have you no sense? Have you forgotten what we saw in that time scanner?
Don't. It was horrible.
Aye, well, I'm not being left without nothing to defend ourselves with.
I'm afraid you're wasting your time, Jamie.
Why?
Unless I'm very much mistaken, these creatures are so big, they're going to be a great threat to us.
Aye, unless I'm very much mistaken, these creatures are so big, they're going to see us long before we see them.
Look out, Jamie!
Hang on, mate, I'll get him!
Be careful, Ben!
Oh, no, Ben, all right.
Come on, Ben!
Roll him over on his back.
That's it, get him. That's the top of him.
Well done!
What are you doing, fighting Ben? That's just a...
We don't know who you are, strangers, but we are grateful.
Medoc is one of our last patients in the colony.
We've done our best for him, but he gets worse day by day.
I wasn't informed you were travelling across our territory.
Hurry back to the colony and tell the pilot what's happened.
The pilot?
Yes, the pilot of our colony.
No doubt he will want to thank you in person.
Tie him up tighter.
Come on, tighter, I don't want any more trouble with him.
Come on, I'll show you myself.
Any good asking where we are?
Well, according to my calculations, we're certainly in the future and on a planet very like the Earth.
How do you know?
I don't know, I'm guessing.
My name is Ola, I'm the chief of police.
That sounds very important.
Oh, it's a very responsible job.
I take my instructions from our control centre.
Oh, it all works very well, as you will see.
Please follow me.
Thank you.
Not too tight, it's bad for the blood pressure.
Row, row, row, row, row, row, row, row, row.
Vacuum shift, vacuum shift, number one.
Tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, tight.
Pilot, these are the strangers that have helped us.
Very well, Ola, I will look after our guests.
You will no doubt wish to take care of poor Medok, you may leave.
Well, our thanks to you and welcome.
You are indeed a brave man to tackle someone as disturbed as Medok.
It was nothing, anyone would have done the same.
Well, this is gay.
What about the music?
Oh, we regulate our day by music.
Now, my friends, I suggest you take advantage of our refreshing department.
Oh, leave me to it, mate, I'm starving.
Oh, you will eat later. Here we revive the weary body.
Keep your eyes skinned.
Why, what's the matter?
They're a weird sort of folk, I don't know to understand them.
Pilot, Pilot, Control wish you to call them immediately, they wish to welcome our guests.
Oh, but of course, switch on, please, my dear.
Hey, who's that? He looks smashing.
That's our controller.
We wish to welcome joyfully the visitors to our colony.
We are very grateful to them, they have performed a valuable service.
The colony is to make our guests happy and contented during their stay.
Welcome again, friends.
Now, back to work, everyone.
Well, that's great. I'm really going to enjoy myself.
Very good. And now, my good friends, let me put you into the hands of our supervisor, Barney.
Dear old Barney, everybody calls him.
Thank you, Pilot.
And I must leave you for work calls, you know, and hard work never hurt anybody.
Till later.
Delighted to see you, delighted to have you with us.
Now, you have a complete choice of all our treatments.
We have steam baths, beauty treatments, perhaps a massage.
You, sir, of course, would like your clothes cleaned.
Then there's sunlight treatment, moonlight treatment, sparkling and effervescent sprays.
I feel perfectly right as I am, thank you.
Oh, go on, Doctor, don't be such a drag, it all looks super.
Please, may I have a shampoo?
Shampoo, of course, for the young lady.
Thanks very much.
And for the young gentleman, our very latest treatment in our cubicles over there.
Me?
Oh, hey, no, you're not going to do that to me.
I know a lassie.
My good, shiny lashes have got you.
And believe me, mate, I'm not going to struggle.
And now, sir, for you.
Oh, very nice, very nice indeed.
You must certainly be the most beautiful young lady in our colony
and are quite sure to be elected our next beauty president.
Thank you very much.
You're not at all. It's all part of our service.
At your liking, sir.
Ah, marvellous, like being an anchor in the mid.
Some protective oils for our guests and a little suntan.
Ah, this is the life.
Hey, mister.
Would you call the ladies off? I'm frightened what they might do to me.
Oh, but you look charming, sir, charming.
That's what I'm frightened of.
Please get me out of here. I'm done for a terrible.
Clothes reviver.
Oh, why, we're about it, sir.
And off.
Oh, doctor, you look gorgeous.
Oh, my shoes.
Oh, they're fantastic. You can see your face in them.
Precisely. Who wants to see their face in a pair of suede shoes?
What's this one?
Oh, that, sir, is our rough and tumble machine for toning up the muscles.
Exactly what I need. Full on.
Oh, but no, sir. No, come out.
Doctor, come out.
Come on, you're close.
Come out, doctor.
Jimmy, doctor, open the suit. Jimmy, doctor.
Come out, I mean.
Come out a bit, doctor.
Oh, I feel better.
Oh, that's more like it.
Oh, you look smashing.
You really do. You look like a prince.
Jamie, that's super. It really is.
Come on, move back.
This prisoner's not to be trusted.
He's violent and suffering from delusions.
I'm not the one suffering from delusions.
It's you. All of you.
You don't know what's happening in this colony.
Be quiet, Medoc.
There's only one way to silence me, Yola.
Medoc, old fellow, it's Questa. Remember me?
What's happened to you?
It's no good. You can't reason with him.
Just a minute. He's an old friend.
One of the best. As cheerful as any of us.
Medoc, what's happened to you?
What's all this about you seeing things?
I can't see things, Questa. You fool.
There are things. Horrible things.
Creatures infesting this camp at night.
That's enough.
Have you seen the pilot?
He's with the strangers. I've no idea where they are.
Back to work. Shift rest is over.
No time to be lost.
The colony needs you.
Preparations to be made for tonight's reception.
A welcome for the strangers.
Reception tonight? A colony party?
Medoc, join in with the rest of us, like you used to.
It will be fun for all.
You hear that, Medoc? Fun for all.
All right. Have fun while you can.
Before they crawl all over you.
That's enough. Right, get back all of you.
There you are. I wondered what had happened to you.
I don't know you. You don't belong here.
Do you belong here?
Not anymore.
We don't talk to him. He sees things. Come on, Medoc.
Can I help you?
What? Oh, no. No, it's all right, thank you.
I just thought I'd drop something, I thought.
What's the game?
I'm going to set you free.
Just hold still a minute.
There we are. One more.
Don't bother to say thank you.
Now, tell me something about these things that you see.
Do they, for instance, appear to crawl slowly over the ground?
How do you know?
Just wondering, that's all.
Listen.
I don't hear anything.
Someone's coming.
It's all right, I won't let them hurt you.
Get out of my way.
Why don't you listen to me?
I am not...
Out!
Stop him! Don't let him escape!
How did he get away? Who's responsible?
What happened?
I told him he wouldn't get hurt and he wouldn't believe me.
You mean you let him go?
Well, no. Not exactly.
He let the prisoner escape.
That is a crime in this colony.
For that, men must work in the pit. Guards!
You can't touch him. He doesn't know your laws.
That's true, Ola. He is a stranger here.
There's something else you're forgetting, gentlemen.
I set free someone that we caught in the first place.
True. A reasonable point of view, Ola.
Medok is dangerous. He should have never let him go.
The colony will be petrified when they know he's out there in the night.
Send your patrol after him. He can't have got far.
He can run, you know. He's got legs.
He doesn't have to crawl over the ground.
Why do you say that?
No reason. No reason at all.
Anyone who spreads that kind of rumour in this colony
will find himself in the hospital for correction.
Oh. Oh, that's where Medok is, is it?
I think, Doctor, you will understand more about Medok
if you talk to some of the people who knew him best.
Pilot, I think...
I'll take the strangers to the labour centre, Ola.
See they learn something about this.
Please, go with him.
Oh, thank you.
What is it?
Come on.
This is your patroller speaking.
There is no need for alarm.
You may all continue your work and play,
confident that the best is being done for you.
But our unfortunate companion Medok has been allowed to escape.
Emergency patrols two and three are now searching the colony
and he is sure to be caught before it is dark.
Now, return to your work and play with fresh heart and renewed energy.
Hang on, that black one over there plays like a blinging politician.
He's our controller. We're always pleased to see him.
He brings us encouragement.
Oh, he's not a politician then.
Number nine shift to stand by.
Leader to report to you, senator.
Work shift ready to leave.
It's a nice retune, doctor.
You know, if you happen to like work, it's a privilege to work for the colony.
There's been a report in shift number nine all present correct.
Good. You're the first of the night, chief.
What do you do then? Farming or fishing?
We work very hard here.
Yes, but what do you do?
We tap and refine gas.
Or heating.
No, we use it for many things.
The colony depends on it.
It's absolutely essential.
Emergency!
Quick, give me that.
Stand by oxygen supply.
Take him away.
Any other losses?
Two in gas sickness. Come on.
What happened?
Their work. It can't be helped.
The work must be done.
Did you hear that, doctor?
Where's he gone?
Shh.
I saw you.
Get out.
Oh, that's not very polite.
I was interested in what you were saying.
Who else knows I'm here?
No one.
Why should I tell them?
Now, these creatures.
Have you seen them clearly?
What do they look like?
What's it got to do with you?
Well, I'm interested.
What do they look like?
All right.
If you really want to know.
It's hard to say.
They move at night.
In the dark.
They look horrible.
Creatures like giant insects.
With big claws.
Yes, that's it.
You seen them in the colony?
Oh, yes.
Has anyone else seen them?
A few.
But they lock them up in the correction hospital.
Why do they do that?
Control tells them to.
They'll put me back there when they catch me.
And they'll put you back there for helping the...
Doctor!
Oh, come on, quickly.
They're looking for you.
Doctor!
But we searched there, I'm sure.
Have you looked for me?
I was just looking around, that's all.
It's dangerous to go off on your own after dark.
Oh, I'm used to the dark.
I like it.
But you'll find a rescue because at night, by order of control.
Anyone who wanders around the colony at night.
May be killed.
Curfew time.
All personnel not on duty must retire to quarters.
Do you hear that?
Emergency patrols two and three to remain on duty.
Work shifts to remain at their posts until dawn.
Visitors to retire for the night to the refreshing department.
That's you.
You're confined here.
Here we are, Doctor.
Your young friends are in their rooms over there.
I hope you sleep well.
Oh, I'm sure I will.
Thank you.
Good night.
Good night, Doctor.
It is now dark.
No one will go outside into the colony.
A dangerous man is in hiding.
Our patrols have orders to shoot on sight.
Happy sleep time, everybody.
Same to you.
Patrol two over here.
Patrol three, follow me.
If you see him, shoot to kill.
I'll have a look over there.
It's all right, it's me.
Stay where you are.
Are you back?
Don't move.
Have a look at those new houses they're building.
He's coming.
We'll have to get out.
Wait.
If he comes in this way, we'll go out the back.
If he comes in the back, we'll go out ahead.
He's coming to the front of the house.
Over here.
I heard something.
All right, go back.
You can't stay here.
I'll try to create a diversion.
I'll kill you.
Do as I tell you.
Thanks.
Go on.
All right.
We'll go through this opening when I give the word.
Right now.
No.
I said, look out there.
I didn't see anything.
Do not touch the moonlight.
I told you I'd see you.
Hey, Buster, where are you?
