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