1. This is Barbara's travel dial.
Copy !req
2. Look, there's blood on it.
Copy !req
3. Yes. I can't imagine why Barbara
left of her own free will.
Copy !req
4. - No, surely she'd wait for us.
- Of course she would.
Copy !req
5. No, it seems
there's only one conclusion.
Copy !req
6. Whatever it is lives behind that door
must have taken her by force.
Copy !req
7. - Let's get inside.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
8. Don't let us be precipitous.
Copy !req
9. Doctor, there's blood on this strap.
That means she's hurt, maybe badly.
Copy !req
10. We can't argue now. We must get inside.
Copy !req
11. Very well.
But I say, I'm sure it's a mistake.
Copy !req
12. - Oh.
- Oh.
Copy !req
13. I don't believe it.
Copy !req
14. Ian, Susan. I'm glad you're here.
Copy !req
15. Barbara, you're all right.
Copy !req
16. Of course, I'm all right. In fact,
I'm actually better than all right.
Copy !req
17. But we saw your travel dial
and there was blood on it.
Copy !req
18. I know, that was silly.
Copy !req
19. I turned the dial and I seemed
to be falling through space.
Copy !req
20. I got frightened and tried to tear it
off my wrist.
Copy !req
21. - It just scratched me. See.
- Oh, I see.
Copy !req
22. Well, I must say, quite
a nice little place you've got here.
Copy !req
23. - You haven't seen anything yet.
- Huh?
Copy !req
24. Would you get some food for my friends?
Copy !req
25. You may be seated.
Copy !req
26. Your Royal Highness is most gracious.
Copy !req
27. Perhaps if Your Majesty
will stop hogging the grapes,
Copy !req
28. - we can all have some.
- Help yourselves.
Copy !req
29. Thanks.
Copy !req
30. Ian, this is great.
Copy !req
31. Oh, what do you think
about all this, Doctor?
Copy !req
32. Oh, sensuous and decadent,
but rather pleasant.
Copy !req
33. - Mmm.
- I say, is that a pomegranate?
Copy !req
34. - Yeah. Here you are.
- Extraordinary.
Copy !req
35. Well, whatever we'd expected,
it certainly wasn't anything like this.
Copy !req
36. Oh, those silks, they're gorgeous.
Copy !req
37. Hmm. Hey, I'd love a dress
made from one of these.
Copy !req
38. Well, that's what
they're here for.
Copy !req
39. Oh, it's magnificent.
Copy !req
40. It certainly is.
Copy !req
41. Yum stuff. Mmm.
Copy !req
42. What's the matter? Don't you like it?
Copy !req
43. No, I've just realised
nobody's shown me the menu.
Copy !req
44. We've got everything here.
Copy !req
45. Truffles? I do believe they're truffles.
Copy !req
46. - Well, well...
- Go on, Ian, have one.
Copy !req
47. No. See, I don't know the price yet.
Copy !req
48. - But we're guests here.
- Oh, you've met the host, have you?
Copy !req
49. Yes, I have and his manners are perfect.
Copy !req
50. Mmm. So is his kitchen, delicious.
Copy !req
51. Hey, we've got a visitor.
Copy !req
52. This is where we pay the bill.
Oh, relax, Ian.
Copy !req
53. No, no, don't get up.
I apologise for intruding,
Copy !req
54. but I wondered
if there was anything you wanted.
Copy !req
55. There is one thing you could do.
Tell us about this place.
Copy !req
56. About your people.
Who do we have to thank for all this?
Copy !req
57. You are in the city of Morphoton.
Copy !req
58. Our people are perhaps
the most contented in the universe.
Copy !req
59. Nothing they desire is denied them.
Copy !req
60. Do you mean you can have
anything you want?
Copy !req
61. Yes.
Copy !req
62. - Well, could I have a dress made...
- Susan...
Copy !req
63. No, please. Please let her go on.
Copy !req
64. Well, I'd love a dress made
from the silk here.
Copy !req
65. - I will not have you take advantage...
- She takes no advantage, truly.
Copy !req
66. Our one wish
is to fulfil your every need.
Copy !req
67. - She shall have the dress.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
68. - Thank you.
- And you?
Copy !req
69. Have you no wish, no great desire?
Copy !req
70. Well, yes, perhaps,
Copy !req
71. but I'm afraid it's not quite as easy
as giving Susan a dress out of that.
Copy !req
72. What is it, Grandfather?
Copy !req
73. Well, perhaps, if I had to choose,
Copy !req
74. a well-equipped laboratory
with every conceivable instrument.
Copy !req
75. - Yes, yes.
- It will be arranged.
Copy !req
76. It will? You mean, he can have it?
Copy !req
77. Perhaps in the morning,
when you see the laboratory,
Copy !req
78. you will find our way of life
easier to understand, to believe.
Copy !req
79. Now, as it is late, I suggest you sleep.
Copy !req
80. In the morning, when you wake,
Copy !req
81. you will learn everything
about Morphoton.
Copy !req
82. Hmm. Well,
we should look forward to that.
Copy !req
83. Yes, and even if you're not serious
about the laboratory,
Copy !req
84. - we're very grateful.
- But I am serious. Good night.
Copy !req
85. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
86. Mmm-hmm. Charming young man.
Yes, charming.
Copy !req
87. Mmm. I think a study of this culture is
going to prove very, very fascinating.
Copy !req
88. Oh, dear me, I'm tired, you know.
Copy !req
89. I think the excitement's been
too much for Susan, too. Come on.
Copy !req
90. Well, you don't look very happy.
Copy !req
91. Me? No, no, no, not at all.
I think it's all marvellous.
Copy !req
92. Not very convincing.
I don't know what you want.
Copy !req
93. Perhaps it's my materialistic side.
Copy !req
94. How rich and powerful do you have to be
to give things away free?
Copy !req
95. - Oh, now, don't spoil it all for me.
I didn't mean to do that.
Copy !req
96. You can't apply Earth's standard,
you just can't.
Copy !req
97. No. It's certainly very different here.
Copy !req
98. Did you notice that man's eyes?
Copy !req
99. - No, what about them?
- He didn't blink once.
Copy !req
100. - Am I being ridiculous?
- Yes.
Copy !req
101. - They're just kind, hospitable people.
- Yes.
Copy !req
102. Look, try to get some sleep.
You'll feel differently in the morning.
Copy !req
103. I suppose it could be worse.
Copy !req
104. Oh, good morning.
Copy !req
105. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
106. - Most refreshing.
- Yes.
Copy !req
107. Look at these exquisite glasses,
Chesterton.
Copy !req
108. Mmm. Can I have some
orange juice, please?
Copy !req
109. Why not?
Help yourself, there's plenty more.
Copy !req
110. No, no, child. Don't take it all.
We must leave some for Barbara
Copy !req
111. - when she wakes up.
- Yeah, Barbara.
Copy !req
112. She really is having
a deep sleep, isn't she?
Copy !req
113. What's the matter?
- Hmm? Oh, this? Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
114. Just a sort of mild irritation
on the forehead, it's nothing at all.
Copy !req
115. No, there's nothing there.
Copy !req
116. I only mentioned it because
I have a rather sore spot here myself.
Copy !req
117. - Yeah.
- Oh, look!
Copy !req
118. Look, Grandfather, it's my dress.
Copy !req
119. Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
120. It's beautiful, look!
Copy !req
121. - It really is very elegant, Susan.
- Can I show Barbara? Can I wake her up?
Copy !req
122. Why not?
She can't sleep all the morning.
Copy !req
123. Barbara. Barbara?
Copy !req
124. Wake up, wake up.
Copy !req
125. What's happened?
Copy !req
126. - What's the matter?
- Well, look.
Copy !req
127. Look around you. Can't you see?
Copy !req
128. I don't think she's properly awake.
Copy !req
129. Susan, get me a glass
of that fruit juice, will you?
Copy !req
130. Yes.
Copy !req
131. Thank you.
Copy !req
132. - Here, drink this.
- No, it's filthy.
Copy !req
133. - Now you've broken it.
- Barbara, what's got into you?
Copy !req
134. Why can't you see?
Copy !req
135. This is gonna test our host's patience,
you know, it's one of a set...
Copy !req
136. - You really are clumsy.
But it's just a dirty old mug.
Copy !req
137. And the room, why have they changed it?
Copy !req
138. It's the same, Barbara.
Copy !req
139. No, it isn't. It isn't.
Copy !req
140. And this terrible dress
and the furniture.
Copy !req
141. What's happened to her?
Copy !req
142. Why can't you see it?
Copy !req
143. - Barbara, Barbara...
- It's all changed.
Copy !req
144. Come on, now. Get a hold of yourself.
Copy !req
145. Don't be frightened, Barbara.
Copy !req
146. Ian, try to see. Please.
Copy !req
147. Try to see the truth.
Copy !req
148. Don't be afraid.
Copy !req
149. Look. Look, they brought me my dress.
Copy !req
150. It's dirty. Dirty rags.
Copy !req
151. Barbara, these people
are very kind to us.
Copy !req
152. - They've given us everything.
- They've given you nothing.
Copy !req
153. I don't know what they've done to you
Copy !req
154. or why it hasn't worked on me,
Copy !req
155. but I must find a way to show you.
I must before it's too late.
Copy !req
156. Ah, here comes Altos.
Now perhaps he can convince you.
Copy !req
157. He knows it's failed on me.
Copy !req
158. What's the matter?
Aren't you feeling well?
Copy !req
159. - Let me take you to our physicians.
No. No!
Copy !req
160. Please, I only want to help you.
Copy !req
161. No!
Copy !req
162. - Barbara!
- Please, don't concern yourself.
Copy !req
163. She's overwrought. I'll deal with it.
You stay here.
Copy !req
164. One of the women has resisted
the power of the mesmerent.
Copy !req
165. - She has escaped into the city.
Who placed the disks?
Copy !req
166. The girl Sabetha.
Copy !req
167. She has failed us and must be punished.
Copy !req
168. Return now to the other three.
Reassure them about their friend.
Copy !req
169. Take them to their laboratory.
Copy !req
170. In four hours, we will give them
the final exposure to the mesmerent.
Copy !req
171. - They will be completely subjugated.
- And what of the one that has escaped?
Copy !req
172. She has seen the truth
and is beyond our control.
Copy !req
173. Find her and destroy her.
Copy !req
174. You're the girl who put the disks
on our foreheads.
Copy !req
175. I made a mistake. I am to be punished.
Copy !req
176. Tell me all you can about this place.
Copy !req
177. I am to be punished.
Copy !req
178. Listen to me,
Copy !req
179. I believe you're under some
deep form of deep hypnosis.
Copy !req
180. I am to be punished.
Copy !req
181. Oh, what's the use?
Copy !req
182. And the physician says
she was in a highly nervous condition.
Copy !req
183. She is now under deep sedation.
She will soon recover.
Copy !req
184. Well, that's a relief.
Copy !req
185. - Perhaps we can visit her later.
- Yes, of course.
Copy !req
186. Yes, yes. Well, naturally, we're all
glad that she's going to be all right,
Copy !req
187. so if there's nothing more
we can do for her,
Copy !req
188. I suggest we get a look
at the laboratory, hmm?
Copy !req
189. I've never seen anything like it.
Copy !req
190. Mmm, I think I shall find
considerable scope here.
Copy !req
191. - Doctor, isn't that a cyclotron?
- Hmm? Huh?
Copy !req
192. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
That's a simple toy.
Copy !req
193. I'm sure that will amuse you. Mmm.
Copy !req
194. Ha, now, this might be helpful.
Copy !req
195. Yes. If I can have
instruments like these,
Copy !req
196. I might be able to overcome the fault
in the time mechanism aboard the ship.
Copy !req
197. - Oh, they really can do it, eh?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
198. They can give you anything you ask for.
Copy !req
199. - Where did you get this?
- It's mine.
Copy !req
200. I don't want to take it away from you.
Copy !req
201. I just want to know where you got it.
Copy !req
202. They gave it to me, my masters.
Copy !req
203. It was the thing I desired most,
it's mine.
Copy !req
204. But why? Why did you want it?
Copy !req
205. It's mine.
Copy !req
206. Listen to me.
Copy !req
207. Does the name Arbitan
mean anything to you?
Copy !req
208. Arbitan?
Copy !req
209. - Arbitan?
- Oh, please. Please try to remember.
Copy !req
210. Arbitan.
Copy !req
211. He sent me here.
Copy !req
212. I was... I...
Copy !req
213. I can't remember.
Copy !req
214. Is Arbitan your father?
Copy !req
215. Open the panel.
Copy !req
216. They're sleeping soundly.
Copy !req
217. Altos is placing the somnar disks.
Copy !req
218. Already I sense their will beginning
to weaken, memories fading.
Copy !req
219. When they wake,
all resistance will have ended.
Copy !req
220. They will remember her no more.
Copy !req
221. What are your orders for them
when they have recovered?
Copy !req
222. The two men will join
the working parties.
Copy !req
223. We can use the younger one's strength
with the holdage gangs.
Copy !req
224. The old man is weaker but intelligent.
Copy !req
225. Isolate him and put him to work
on the scheme for increasing manpower.
Copy !req
226. As for the child,
she must be trained rapidly.
Copy !req
227. She will take the place of Sabetha,
the one that failed us.
Copy !req
228. And what of the one that has escaped?
Copy !req
229. That is your responsibility.
Copy !req
230. As soon as it is light,
a thorough search must be made.
Copy !req
231. If you fail, you will be killed.
Copy !req
232. She must be found.
Copy !req
233. Concentrate, Sabetha, please.
Copy !req
234. Look, we're almost finished.
Copy !req
235. I can't remember any more.
Copy !req
236. I feel so sleepy.
Copy !req
237. You are to come with me.
Copy !req
238. Sabetha, I must find the others
and try and convince them.
Copy !req
239. If I succeed, I'll come back for you.
Copy !req
240. Ian. Oh, thank heaven, I found you.
Copy !req
241. Oh, I thought
they must've got to you.
Copy !req
242. I thought...
Copy !req
243. Ian?
Copy !req
244. You must be the one who escaped.
Copy !req
245. - The one they told me about.
- Ian!
Copy !req
246. I must take you to them.
Copy !req
247. So, she has been caught.
Copy !req
248. You have done well
and proved yourself worthy.
Copy !req
249. It's disgusting.
Copy !req
250. Ian, can't you see
how you're being used?
Copy !req
251. We are the masters of this place.
Copy !req
252. Our brains outgrew our bodies.
Copy !req
253. It is our intelligence
that has created this whole city.
Copy !req
254. But we need the help of the human body
to feed us and to carry out our orders.
Copy !req
255. You use your people
to act as machines for you.
Copy !req
256. Much more than machines.
Copy !req
257. The human body is the most
flexible instrument in the world.
Copy !req
258. No single mechanical device could
reproduce its mobility and dexterity.
Copy !req
259. So I'm to become one of your slaves?
Copy !req
260. No. You have seen the truth of our city.
Copy !req
261. It is beyond our power to erase this
from your memory.
Copy !req
262. You must be destroyed.
Copy !req
263. Kill her.
Copy !req
264. - Kill her.
- Ian.
Copy !req
265. - Kill her.
- Ian.
Copy !req
266. - Ian...
- Kill her.
Copy !req
267. Kill her.
Copy !req
268. Kill her.
Copy !req
269. Kill her!
Copy !req
270. Where are we? Where...
Copy !req
271. Barbara. Barbara.
Copy !req
272. - Oh.
- It's all right, Ian.
Copy !req
273. It's all right now.
Copy !req
274. - They're burning the city.
- Yes. I don't blame them.
Copy !req
275. Trouble is, they'll be up here soon.
Copy !req
276. Seeking their revenge, are they?
Poor creatures.
Copy !req
277. Ian thinks we should get out of here
as soon as possible.
Copy !req
278. Yes, I do.
Where's Susan?
Copy !req
279. We're all meeting here. She's bringing
Sabetha and that young man, Altos.
Copy !req
280. I questioned him
and there's no doubt about it,
Copy !req
281. - he's one of Arbitan's couriers.
- They're coming with us?
Copy !req
282. Yes, he's going with you, certainly.
Copy !req
283. By the way, I found these travel dials.
Copy !req
284. Those repellent brain things
Copy !req
285. didn't appreciate
their significance, fortunately.
Copy !req
286. Doctor, what did you mean,
Altos is going with you?
Copy !req
287. I will explain it all in good time.
Ah, here are the others.
Copy !req
288. - Good. Let's go then.
- No. Wait.
Copy !req
289. Now we have one key
and there are three more to find.
Copy !req
290. Yes. Sabetha wants to
continue the search with us.
Copy !req
291. - I wish to join you, too.
- Good idea.
Copy !req
292. I was sent by Arbitan.
I and a friend called Eprim.
Copy !req
293. Our plan was as follows,
Copy !req
294. he would go ahead in search of key four
and I would come here for the first.
Copy !req
295. Arbitan hadn't heard from either of you.
Or anyone else for that matter.
Copy !req
296. Well, we must presume something
has happened to your friend Eprim.
Copy !req
297. It may just be
that he couldn't reach the key.
Copy !req
298. It lies somewhere
in the city of Millennius.
Copy !req
299. Ah, yes. The place you mentioned.
Copy !req
300. Yes. The highly civilised society.
Copy !req
301. Now then,
I've decided to adopt his plan.
Copy !req
302. What? You mean go two jumps ahead,
Copy !req
303. - and try and find the fourth key?
- Mmm-hmm. Yes, precisely.
Copy !req
304. I shall try and find out
what's happened to your friend Eprim.
Copy !req
305. If he's alive, make contact
and then we can all meet again.
Copy !req
306. Do you know how to adjust the dial,
Grandfather?
Copy !req
307. Yes. Altos has shown me
how to adjust just mine.
Copy !req
308. Yours? Well, aren't I coming?
Copy !req
309. No, I think it better if you travelled
with the main party, child.
Copy !req
310. - But I want to go with you.
- Yes, yes, I know, Susan, but...
Copy !req
311. Don't you see it's better
if we split our forces?
Copy !req
312. You see, it's a very dangerous situation
Copy !req
313. and the sooner we get on with it,
the better.
Copy !req
314. For my part,
I know you will be well looked after.
Copy !req
315. As for me, well,
I'm going to a well-ordered society
Copy !req
316. and I think it's the best
and the speediest way, really.
Copy !req
317. All right.
Won't be for long though, will it?
Copy !req
318. I was wondering
if we should fix a time to meet.
Copy !req
319. Uh, say, five days.
- Yes, that's not a bad idea.
Copy !req
320. Perhaps you better give us another two,
just in case of possible delays.
Copy !req
321. Hope everything won't be
as bad as this place.
Copy !req
322. No, I hope not. Put these on, please.
Copy !req
323. Well, good-bye, Doctor.
And take care of yourself.
Copy !req
324. Oh, of course, I will. And you see
that you take good care of Susan.
Copy !req
325. Yes, we will.
Copy !req
326. - Well, I'm ready.
- So am I.
Copy !req
327. - I wish you well, Doctor.
- Thank you, my dear. Now, off you go.
Copy !req
328. - Goodbye, Grandfather.
- Goodbye, my child.
Copy !req
329. Susan. She should have waited for us.
Copy !req
330. Now, quickly.
You must go and follow her.
Copy !req
331. Stop it!
Copy !req
332. Stop it!
Copy !req
333. Go away. Go away!
Copy !req
