Right, now.
No.
Look out there.
I don't see anything.
In that patch of moonlight.
I told you I'd seen them.
Ah, that bruised it.
I don't see anything.
Medoc, the guards, they'll hear you.
It doesn't matter.
They can't lock me up again.
Now I can prove it.
We know they're real.
Medoc.
I know you're in there.
Come out quietly.
You can put that gun away.
I'm coming.
Who's with you?
The doctor.
What are you doing here?
Don't waste time.
Come on over here.
Stay where you are.
Listen, I came out to show you.
Stand still.
It's the micro-owner.
Ask the doctor.
He'll tell you.
Yes, I think I can confirm.
You don't want to know what the strangers think?
Well, it might be as well to...
Where do you think you're going?
I just thought I'd go and have a look.
Stay where you are.
Guard, search him.
What will they do to us?
I tell you.
You're going before the pilot.
You're in the company of an escaped criminal.
And you're out in the colony at night.
I'm sorry, doctor.
I thought you'd listen to reason.
Reason's the last thing a man like Ola will listen to.
You're going to be in trouble.
And it's my fault.
Silence!
Pilots' headquarters.
Move!
...shifts to stand by for greater efforts during working hours.
The gas from the pits must be kept in constant supply at even greater pressures.
Remember, the life of the colony is dependent upon this gas.
All industry and activity...
Emergency call. Emergency call.
Yes, go ahead, emergency.
Ola requests audience immediately.
Look, I'm extremely busy. Unless this is a major crisis, I really...
Medoc has been taken prisoner, and one of the strangers has been captured with him.
Bring the stranger in.
Good evening, pilot.
Oh, what a very nice office you have here.
Now, what's this all about, doctor?
Well, I...
We found both of them in the new buildings, pilot.
At night? How did he get there? Wasn't there a guard on his sleeping quarters?
All my guards were out looking for Medoc, pilot.
I see.
Very well, you may leave us, Ola. I will conduct the investigation myself.
Oh, forgive me. This is interesting.
A telescopic viewing machine.
I imagine you can keep track on the entire colony from here,
and direct intercommunication between all parts.
Very up to date, I imagine. Excellent, excellent.
You don't seem to realize how serious this business is, doctor.
You have committed a crime.
A crime?
What were you doing with Medoc? You know he's a dangerous man.
I'm not so sure, pilot.
You have already been told.
He has refused to cooperate and to obey orders.
He suffers from hallucinations.
Ah, that's the point. Does he?
What exactly do you mean by that?
Let me perhaps explain.
What is it now? I've already said I don't want to be interrupted.
Ola reporting, pilot.
What is it?
Medoc has made a statement. It completely changes the situation.
Very well, bring him in.
I hope you're not going to listen to everything that Medoc tells you.
Why, doctor, are you afraid of something he might say?
Well, in his state of mind, he might say anything.
Doctor, how have they been treating you?
Silence!
Perfect, all right, thank you.
Medoc's made a further statement, pilot.
It's about the doctor.
Ah, ah, yes, Medoc?
The doctor wasn't helping me. He was trying to make me give myself up.
Well, that was extremely brave. Why didn't you tell us this?
Well, as a matter of fact...
Captain Ola didn't give him a chance.
I see. Well, it seems we owe you an apology, doctor.
But...
It's better we tell the truth, doctor.
Yes. Thank you, Medoc. I quite understand.
Take him away.
Come on, Medoc.
Well, I'm extremely sorry about it, doctor, and of course you're free to go.
What will happen to Medoc?
Oh, well, he'll be taken back to the hospital for correction.
He'll be given another course of treatment.
And when he returns to the colony, Medoc will be a changed man.
He will cooperate and he will obey orders.
He'll be just like the rest of us.
Why do you want everyone to be the same?
Doctor, this colony was founded many centuries ago by our ancestors,
who came from the Earth planet, like your young friend.
Our ancestors believed in the virtues of healthy happiness.
And we have tried to keep their ideals alive.
Sometimes, alas, it is necessary to use force.
The doctor will be returning to his quarters now.
The doctor's escort is ready.
Well, I'm sorry to have disturbed you, doctor, and many thanks again for your help.
Not at all. Thank you. Good night.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Good night.
The doctor and his friends are to be given the advantage of high-powered adaption at once.
They must begin to think like members of the colony.
They are to have deep sleep and thinking patterns.
We cannot have criticism from these strangers.
The work is urgent. It must begin immediately.
Well, emergency order from control, top priority, are all the cubicles connected?
The rest cubicles for the four strangers are all connected for deep sleep and thought patterns.
Very good. The process is to begin immediately.
Your instructions are being carried out.
That is good.
This is an emergency.
Control must be believed and obeyed.
No one on the colony believes in Makra.
There is no such thing as Makra.
Makra do not exist.
Makra do not exist. There are no Makra.
The sleeper must relax and believe.
Everything in the colony is good and beautiful.
You must accept it without question.
You must obey orders.
The leaders of the colony know what is best.
In the morning, when you wake up, you will be given some work.
You will be glad to obey.
You will question nothing in the colony.
Ben?
Ben!
What is it?
I heard something.
You are always hearing something.
I have never heard a voice like this before.
Ben!
I am asleep.
It was evil, Ben.
An evil voice.
It spoke so gently, and yet...
I almost believe what it said.
Get some sleep. We have a hard day's work ahead of us tomorrow.
Why do you say that?
We have to do something to help in the colony.
We cannot eat their nose without helping out.
You sound like that voice, Ben.
What are you on about?
This colony is all right.
It would not be too bad to work here.
I have never heard you talk that way before, Ben.
You will not resist the sleeping gas.
Breathe deeply.
In the morning, when you wake, you will obey.
Ben?
Wake up, Polly.
Doctor.
What are you doing?
Scorching aroma.
Or should I say scorching.
What happened?
Polly, I think you have been listening to some very bad advice.
I have been asleep.
Yes, I know you have.
Fast asleep.
Very fast asleep.
Polly, do you smell anything?
A sort of sweet perfume?
No.
Never mind.
Polly, I want you to forget everything that you have been dreaming.
Why do you say that?
It is just possible that you have been given a series of orders while you have been asleep.
You know, do this, do that, do the other thing.
My advice to you is don't do anything of the sort.
Don't just be obedient.
Always make up your own mind.
What am I thinking of?
Ben and Janie.
Hello, Doctor.
Is it morning?
No, not yet, but nearly so.
What are you up to?
Well, by my calculations, there should be a thin strand of wire in the wall here,
like a nerve tapping the subconscious of the human brain.
Well, lay off, mate.
You'll find yourself on a charge.
It should be here somewhere.
Pack it in, Doctor.
The way you mess about, you could do some damage.
Better some damage than loss of willpower.
What are you on about?
Look, get out of it.
It's against the law.
What law?
The law of the colony.
Don't do that!
Now you'll get chucked in jail.
What's the matter with you, Ben?
Since when did you start to worry?
He thinks he knows best all the time, but this time he's wrong.
Hey, what's all the noise?
Janie, how did you sleep?
Oh, very badly, Doctor.
I told Ben I kept hearing wee voices.
That's a good sign.
It means they haven't been able to get very deeply into your brain.
Eh? I don't understand.
I'll show you.
Watch this.
You're fools, all of you.
And just look what you've done.
You've smashed up all this equipment.
Yes, but look here.
If they were trying to make us believe a whole load of rubbish...
Rubbish?
It's not rubbish.
Control knows what's best for us.
They want us to cooperate.
We should be helping.
What's the matter with you, Ben?
This doesn't sound like you at all.
We should learn to obey.
The Doctor's causing trouble.
I'm going to turn him in.
You don't know what you're doing, Ben.
Get off me!
I'm very much afraid I'm too late.
Ben!
Let go of me!
Ben!
Stop it!
Let him go!
It's no use, Jamie.
We can't just let him go, Doctor.
You'll have to.
Violence will get you nowhere.
Doctor, he's going to go and tell the guards we've got to get you out of here.
We can't leave Ben.
But he's betrayed you.
No, no, not Ben.
He's not in control of his actions.
He's been given a series of instructions and he can't help himself.
But then he's going to get it all the same.
He prodded about and the warden smashed up our equipment.
This time we've got the evidence.
And from one of your own friends.
Come on, Doctor.
Leave him alone.
Get out of my way.
That's an order.
I take orders from no one but a Doctor.
All right, you're coming too.
Get out, both of you!
Thank you, Jamie, but I'd better go with Captain O'Loughlin.
But, Doctor, what will they do to you?
He should be in that hospital of yours.
You traitor, you...
That's enough!
The hospital!
He needs correction more than me, Doc, does!
It's a very difficult case, I'm afraid.
There's nothing much we can do.
He's too far gone to help.
No, he'll never be happy like the rest of us.
All we can do is send him to the pits for life.
Can't...
hide the truth!
Yes?
What is it?
What's that, the Doctor?
I'll come at once.
Keep at it.
What did you do it for? The Doctor's our friend!
I had to do my duty!
Well, you go on doing it, then.
I'm going to go and find out where the others have gone.
Look, Polly, you'd better stay here.
Go on, report me!
No, come back, Polly!
Polly!
Polly, where are you?
Polly?
You'll be in trouble!
Don't fool about, Polly. You must obey control!
Polly!
Stop!
Leave me alone!
You're coming back to the guard!
What's the matter with you, Ben? Wake up!
You're coming with me, girl! You've broken colony law!
What's the matter with you?
There's nothing there?
There was, I saw it!
A huge face like an insect or a giant crab.
It was horrible, Ben, and it was looking at us and...
and it had claws! Claws like we saw on the time scanner!
Well, there's nothing there, come on!
No, not that way!
Look, you're just trying to dodge off!
No, please, Ben, I'm not, please, not that way!
But there is nothing there!
What is it?
I don't know!
Well, what are we going to do?
There is nothing evil or harmful in this colony!
How can you believe that, Stan?
Stan's the reason! It's safe!
There is nothing here!
Ben! What is it? Let it open!
Can you not be, Ben?
It's not my fault!
Ben! Ben!
Help me, Ben! Help me!
Help me!
Help! Help!
Ben! Ben, it's horrible!
It's all right. I think it's going away.
Just go inside.
Ben, behind you!
There's another one!
Ben, they're all around us!
Look, Polly, you make a run for it and I'll keep an ear!
You won't stand a chance!
We can't stop here! Come on, quick!
You have destroyed three nerve circuits, Doctor. You have burned them out. What have you to say?
Rather neat, don't you think? And so simple. I did it with this.
You admit it?
I'm proud of it!
What is it? What's the matter?
My dear pilot, you're warm. Even you are subjected to this form of subconscious control.
Leave that alone! That's better. You will be punished for this.
The least you can do is to say thank you.
Pilot!
What is it?
It's the young man who reported the doctor, pilot.
What about him?
He has another report, pilot. An urgent one.
Very well, you may leave. I will deal with it.
Polly is stubborn in the back this time.
Polly, Polly, what's the matter?
Doctor, it was horrible. A great insect, like a crab, got hold of me. Ben got me free.
Ben did?
He was nearly killed himself.
Pilot, did you protect the girl from such creatures?
She ran away. I went after her.
Did you protect her? And were there such creatures?
No, there were no such creatures.
Ben!
There are no such things as Macra.
But you saw them!
There were no such creatures! There are no such things as Macra!
Don't blame him, Polly.
But you heard him!
I told you. Ben has come under the control of the evil forces at the heart of this colony.
That is quite untrue. Control always acts for the best.
Who is controlled?
You've seen our controller.
Have I? I don't remember.
Well, switch on then. We've nothing to hide.
Controller speaking. We know everything that's happened. The poor girl has had a hallucination.
That's not the controller, that's just a picture of a man.
It is the picture of our controller.
Well, where is he? Our wagery doesn't exist.
Of course it does.
Well, let's see him then.
That's not necessary.
Well, I do believe he's there.
Of course he is. You've heard his voice.
Why don't you show him to us then?
Well, all right, if you wish. I'll ask.
As you can hear, Control, they ask to see you in person.
That set the cat among the pigeons.
They've not got him there.
This is your controller. This is your controller.
But he's an old man.
So now you've seen the controller.
Well, let him speak.
Be silent! That is an order!
Let him speak!
Be silent!
He's not given the order. He can't talk.
This is the man. You will hear him speak. Speak, Controller. Speak!
Am I to speak?
Tell the strangers to believe and obey.
I... I will tell them.
I will tell them. I'll do what you say.
Keep away! Don't touch me!
I'm a man!
What's that? What's happening?
That was it! In the picture, that was the claw!
They're in Control!
Take them out of here! They're condemned to the pit!
Macro!
Take them away!
Leave us alone!
They're in Control!
