All language subtitles for The Time Tunnel S01E02 One Way to the Moon

Two American scientists
are lost in the swirling

maze of past and future
ages during the first

experiments on America's greatest
and most secret project, the time tunnel.

Tony Newman and Doug
Phillips now tumble helplessly

toward a new fantastic adventure somewhere
along the infinite corridors of time.

This is Mission Control.

We are at launch minus forty-five.

Launch minus forty and counting.

Minus thirty-five.

It's a rocket.

Minus thirty.

Tony, if this is one of
those early Canaveral

jobs, we could be blown
up right here on the pad.

Twenty-five.

Minus twenty and counting.

Fifty.

It's no use.

It's locked off.

Get down here quick.

Ten.

Off your feet.

Ignition.

We're going to land on the moon.

We're coasting at zero gravity.

We're back to one G. This capsule's
spinning to create its own gravity.

There's someone else aboard.

There's no doubt about it.

Artificial gravity.

That means this is a
pretty sophisticated model.

M.E.M.

M.E.M.

Tony, that's Mars Excursion Module.

We're on an expedition to Mars.

Escape velocity.

Negative.

Before mission control.

Can't raise them, Skipper.

We've been out of
radio contact since liftoff.

Keep trying.

Beard, what do we lack?

Seventy-five knots.

Doc, what's the computer's
analysis of the failure?

We're carrying excess
weight in the service module.

Three hundred and thirty-five pounds.

It's beyond our safety factor.

Seal off the module.

Cut it loose.

We're going to blow it up.

You're not going to scrub the mission.

Can you think of a better choice right now?

Yes.

We can wait and see if
we attain escape velocity.

We won't.

We're past due now.

Navarro, see if you can get that
information to mission control.

M.E.M.

Four is scrub.

Yes, sir.

M.E.M.

Four to mission control.

M.E.M.

Four to mission control.

We've got an overload problem
and cannot reach escape velocity.

Colonel Cane has ordered us to
jettison the service module and destroy it.

We are going to fire our
retros and attempt reentry.

Mission control, do you read?

Service module?

That's us.

They don't know we're in here.

We've got a sub.

They've got a sub!

Mission control, I say
again, we are about to

jettison the service
module and attempt reentry.

If you read me, stand by for
destruct of service module.

Stand by.

Let us out!

Don't cut us loose!

The Time Tunnel!

Any further identification, Ray?

It's definitely the M.E.M.

Flight Series.

That puts the time ten years in the future.

Exactly what I reported to Washington.

To Washington, General?

Yes, of course.

They are extremely interested.

Vice Admiral Killian of
the new Department of

Space is being rushed
down here to observe.

And what kind of response?

Not the best, I'm afraid.

I think we can hold it.

Easy, easy.

Let's not lose picture
before Killian gets here.

Stand by to jettison the service module.

Pizarro, give me a ten second countdown.

Yes, sir.

is still go do you read
me mission control do

you read me doc give me
a hand there's our excess

weight get up both of you the devil
are you where did you come from

how'd you get on board I'm dr. Newman
this is dr. Phillips from the time

tunnel complex I don't
know what you're talking

about what year is this
1978 of course well then

you must have heard
of this by now we're time

travelers we started
ten years ago it was top

secret then but now
they're insane we're not time

tunnel is a government
project and we're part of

it we're actually traveling
in time we wound up

here ten years in the
future what do you mean the

future it's our future
but it's your present only

we're part of it now
never mind Tony they won't

listen of all people you
think they'd understand

we understand you didn't
expect us to believe a

wild story like that did
you wait a minute it's

a wild story all right but
you know it just could

be true a few years ago
a friend of mine we went

to medical school
together got transferred out

west to some hush-hush
government project did

he say what it was not
in so many words but I

gathered it was in Arizona
go on that's all there

is except that some of
the remarks that he likes

slip seemed pretty odd
but they'd make good sense

if there were such a project
as what would you call

time tunnel and it does
make sense because it's

true sorry I don't buy
it well we're here on this

ship you can't explain
that away I can we're in

the middle of the biggest
race in history a race

to put the first men
on another planet in the

solar system and there
are other governments that

would do anything to
make sure we don't win that

race that's for certain
ask them to prove their

story papers identification
anything all right

let's have it if we'd had
identification we would

have shown it to you
before this that does it all

right even if you don't
believe us we're here what

can you do about it now
what do we do with them

skipper lock them up now
what I don't know every

answer I come up with
is impossible well has it

occurred to you to accept
their explanation time

travel I wouldn't believe
that in a million years

that's a funny statement
under the circumstances

here we are in space headed
for the moon and Mars

beyond that I was their
story any more fantastic

than ours it is to me
doctor these men are

stowaways probably
foreign agents it's as simple

as that no it isn't if
they're stowaways how'd

they get on board you
know the security at the

launching pad all right
all right maybe we can't

explain how they got
on board actually what

difference does it make
the one really important

fact is they are here
that's what we've got to

deal with but how we
don't know what or who they

are I know one thing they
are over 300 pounds of

additional weight and
we've got a tricky maneuver

coming up a soft landing
on the moon you want to

tackle that with this
handicap I sure don't neither

do I but that's something
we're stuck with is it

in my book there's a
simple solution that will

take care of everything
throw them off the ship

set them adrift not yet
general we expect you

momentarily certainly
hope so these are the

gentlemen from the
space department I weren't

you an ad to meet
dr. Brandon McGregor and dr.

swain not against if I
appear bewildered I am is

the most impressive
complex and this of course is

admiral killing I'm
honored ever thank you

dr. swain and may I
present my aid ensign beard

I don't care what your
figures say beard you

can't be serious I'm
perfectly serious you mean

you'd put those men
outside the ship they die in

seconds immediately and
painlessly their troubles

would be over and so at
ours you sure about these

facts beard well that is
a preliminary estimate

we'll make a thorough
check I want to know exactly

what to expect if we
attempt a landing with them

on board yes you can't listen to him it's
outrageous it's inhuman I know how you feel

talk but I've got to
think about the safety of

the whole ship and of
the mission I warn you I

won't let you do it
you're a little out of your

area aren't you doctor
you don't have to worry

about that excess baggage
is our problem gang

listen to me ever since
the space program started

we put a premium on
human life nothing was of

greater importance
nothing this is a special case

we're sacrificing two
lives to save for now that

makes sense it makes
no sense at all and if you

could reach mission
control they'd veto this

crack-brain plan of
yours and stop I'm not so

sure of that what do
you think skipper no word

to mission control
no sir I'm still trying

the question is can we
make a soft lunar landing

with two extra men on
board now I don't think we

can let's face it if we
don't get them off the

ship we're all gonna
die can't believe it is that

me you ten years from
now I don't believe I'm

saying those things I'm
afraid it's true you just

can't tell about the
future there they are and

what are you trying to
do I'm going to transfer

them while I still can
you can't do that it's

too dangerous we're
not certain of the fix yet

Ray he's planning to
jettison them to save the

mission their added weight
could make a soft lunar

landing impossible
that's a point I'd like more

information on Ray how
can we get it well I think

there's a way general with the
help of Admiral Killian and dr.

Brandon gentlemen together we could compile
enough data on the MEM flight program

to give our computer
something to work on and in

that way we could tell
whether the landing is

possible or not will you
do it of course doctor

we'd be glad to certainly
yeah well we can start

it once right this way
anyway I don't care what

data you process we
can't just sit here in the dug

and Tony be killed and
we won't if the computer

indicates that a soft
landing is impossible we'll

risk shifting them in time
whether we have a good

fix on them or not are
you coming getting along

I'll have the answer for
you in a minute or two

if there's a slightest
chance of being able to

make a soft lunar landing
I want to know about

it right anything yes I
think so well okay this

coil and several others
in there have been eaten

through by some sort
of a slow-working acid it's

severed our connections
to the aft antenna anyway

to fix it I'm not getting
out in the hole but even

then I doubt if I could
do much this has done a

pretty thorough job of
severing communications

completely sabotage
that's the only possible

explanation those two
that would be my guess yes

sir mine too I think beard
may have a point but

I'm gonna get them
and take a gun yes sir doc

give me a hand with
this hot stuff right now all

right skipper wants to
see you top say small

meteor on intersecting
course no time we're gonna

get hold on we're losing all
our air when it's gone worth it

it's a service module
all right the atmosphere

is draining fast bazaar
has traveled those other

two our spacesuits are down there let's see
if we can get them get open the hatch now

the Aaron has gone well that solves all
our problems your stowaways are dead now

Sosna sorrow they never
had a chance how do you

turn this darn thing on
it's on we hear you can

you hear us loud and
clear how bad's the hull

damage it's pretty bad
skipper tell us how to

make repairs we'll
follow instructions it's not

as simple as you may
think we're both trained

physicists we know how
to follow directions we'll

manage you must have
some kind of sealant stored

in here where is it to
the locker at the forward

end behind the hatch
ladder the sorrow will show

you he's got it now
what I told you it wasn't

simple it's a double
hull both sides have to

be repaired one from
where you are and the other

on the outside well
you're not gonna let those

two walk that hull
your birds right they're

untrained they can't
do it miss our is trained

as our can't do it alone
all right fine what's

the alternative give
up he's right trained or

not they're gonna have
to do it now listen you've

got to walk out on the
hull you can't fall you're

moving with the same
velocity as the ship you're

weightless there's no up
or down for you out there

we're going out we'll fix it

you know

how much longer
before they finish in a few

minutes if they finish
at all well after what

they're doing out
there you're certainly not

going to have them
jettisoned are you no not

after this and suppose
their weight makes a soft

landing impossible do
your figures tell you that

I'm still working on it
what if we can't make

a soft landing then we
orbit the moon head back

to earth and lose the
race to Mars I thought that

was the most important
consideration of all we

won't lose the race if we
turn back Baird doesn't

matter which one of
our crews win this isn't a

race for personal glory our backup team can
be ready to lift off in less than two weeks

I'll take a look at the
aft antenna maybe I

can rig up something to
restore communications

all right out there what progress we're
finished the holes passed we're coming in

full atmosphere restored
in the service module

nice work you can get
out of the spacesuits

now the department now
has normal atmosphere

here are the results you
can compensate for the

added weight landing is
go very well we'll commit

ourselves to the landing
what's happening they've

got a favorable estimate
they're going to try for

the soft landing they
can't do that why not we've

just finished an estimate
of our own if they try

to land they'll crash well
can't you do something

no response I can't move
fast descending too fast

can't you veer off change
into an orbit no we're

committed we've got to
set down now it's our you

and I get the spaces yes
sir what all hands come

on why spaces any part
of the hall cracks when we

hit the surface wearing
a spacesuit is the only

possibility of survival
there are only four suits

down there I know you
better pray the whole

withstands a landing it's
your only hope of staying

alive there's no stopping
it now they've got to crash

you're in impact hang on a tray

I don't know how it
happened it's still airtight

any casualties I wasn't
a soft landing but at

least it was a landing
we've been very lucky to

maintain the integrity
of the hull which is a

miracle in itself now once
we've made some minor

repairs and refuel we
can lift off again from

Mars well let's not waste
any more time how far

is it to the fuel down
now our point of impact is

right here in this quadrant
of the marina Taurus

the fuel dump is located
here no more than a half

mile to the west our
main problem is time if we

can't refuel and lift off
in precisely 22 minutes

we can't make it 22
minutes well we still got a

chance if I go for fuel
while repairs are being

made I agree so you
check the hull in half burners

right I'll need someone
to help me with the fuel

doc Harlow okay it is
go with him I take care of

everyone but us what
can we do well now that's a

problem look you still
don't suspect us of being

agents do you frankly I
don't know who you are

it's a pretty academic
question at this point you

can't go outside the ship
and no more spaces can

we do anything to help
you can help by obeying

orders you two will stay
here I can keep an eye

you you you you you you
you you you you you you you

you you you you you you
you you you you you you you.

They'll be heading for the fuel dump now.

I've got a clear fix on it now.

Switch them.

How many will we need?
Four, we'll each take two.

Two? They must weigh a
hundred pounds of police.

That's on earth up here we
divide by six remember doc?

Hard to get used
to isn't it? Yeah.

Ready? Yes doctor I'm quite
ready. Let's go back to the ship.

Well there's no
rush. You see this is

the end of the MEM flight. The end? I don't
understand. You will doctor. You will.

Did you hear that? Sounded like a scream.

Cesaro are you all right? Still
working on the hull skipper.

Beard do you read
me? Loud and clear.

Ask him about Harlow. Has
anything happened to Major Harlow?

He had a little trouble with his

intercom but he's okay. We'll
be bringing the fuel in now.

All right Beard as
soon as you can.

Are you satisfied? No.
Neither am I. Beards lying.

What makes you think so?
A little matter of two and two.

Now we know somebody sabotaged your
communication system. It wasn't your radio man

he's the one that
discovered it and I doubt that

it was Major Harlow. And we
didn't do it so that leaves Beard.

Why? Doesn't make any sense.

It does to me. Now somebody
hired Beard to make sure that

America loses that race
to Mars. Beard an agent?

I don't believe it. He's
done everything he could

to keep me from
aborting this mission.

Well naturally if you
returned to Earth your backup

crew would leave
immediately for Mars.

They still can. But not until
mission control finds out what

happened to this crew.
Now that's basic policy and

by the time they do if
ever it'll be too late to win.

Come on admit it you
see it as clearly as we

do. What am I expected
to do about this?

Get out there and find
out what Beard's doing.

Now before it's too late. Fine leave
you two with a full run of the ship.

All right then give us
your suit one of us will go.

No dice gentlemen.
If there are any

agents on this mission I'm
looking at them right now.

Don't let him get
that intercom Tony.

I don't want him to warn
Beard. All right Colonel get out

of that space suit.
What do you think Rick?

Oh we'll get it fixed of course.
We're lucky nobody was hurt.

How did it happen?
I can't tell you.

It was an accident
but I'm not so sure.

[Music]

stand up don't touch
that intercom button.

Where are the other three?
I told you I wouldn't be

very bright would I?
Two of them have to be in

the capsule there are
only four spacesuits.

Well that still leaves one
man unaccounted for doesn't

it? And you don't know
where he is. I'll find you.

Will you? You could be anywhere.

You could be right outside that
door. You're in a lot of trouble Beard.

You're the one who's in trouble.

I've got enough provisions
that last me for six months.

I'm gonna kill all of
them and wait. Wait?

Wait for what? For our own Mars
flight. They're gonna pick me up.

You don't really
believe that do you?

What your job is done here
while you're expendable.

Now don't move.
Excuse me gentlemen.

Sergeant Jiggs has just
come from our security

center with some
very distressing news.

Sergeant you please repeat
what you just told me. Yes sir.

At 1400 hours my security
section received a call

from Central Intelligence.
They informed me that

for some time now there's been an enemy
agent working within the space department.

They have reason to believe one of
you three visitors may be that agent.

Why this is outrageous General.

I'm sorry Admiral but
I really have no choice.

You gentlemen will have
to be taken to our security

center for questions.
Look here General.

Please doctor carry on
Sergeant. Yes sir. All right hold

it. Brandon what in the
name of... I said hold it Admiral.

All right Sergeant
I'll take that gun.

You two hold it. That's better.
What are you trying to do Brandon?

Don't be naive General.

I can't let you live now.
Great. Take Ann out of here.

We've clear this area.
We've tracked it down.

Jiggs sound the
full security alert.

[Music] Freeze.

Take your hand off that mic.

Things aren't going quite
according to plan are they?

You should have heard
from your friend by this time.

All right get over there.

You don't know who that is
coming in do you? I said get over.

Give me a hand with the
hatch. Kuzaro get a warning

on the other cop. Help
command module 2. I wouldn't.

And there's our missing link.

(Music)

Now if you're smart you won't try anything.

(Music)

He's going to open the outer door.

Secure the hatch quick.

(Music)

Tony, Tony can you hear me?

This is Kane. What's going on out there?

This is Doug Phillips. Harlow's been
murdered by Beard here in the depot.

Murdered?

He was going to try and blow up
your spaceship. How much time left?

Just under 12 minutes.

Get ready to blast off.

We have no fuel.

I'm bringing it.

(Music) Where's Beard?

He left me back in the depot.

I don't know whether he's alive or
dead, but frankly right now I don't care.

I brought your fuel back.
Let's get ready to take off.

(Music) Where's Tony?

I've got to look for you.

Tony!

I'll board the ship.

We're getting ready to blast off.

Get back here immediately.

Tony!

Can you read me?

He must have his intercom switch off.

We've got to lift off. We can't wait.

I'm going back to get him.
Can you two maneuver this craft alone?

If we have to.

Alright then. Get ready to
blast off and get your fuel in.

How much time do I have left?

Only a few minutes.

I'll try to get him back here on time.

If I don't, you take off without us.
Do you understand?

I think I do. Finally.

Here. You may need this.

There's no way he can leave this level.
Only a matter of time before we take him.

Brad, I just can't believe it.
One of our best men.

We often are.

Alright, you three men
work your way around.

Cover that section. The
rest of you take that area.

Okay, Barrett. Get up.
Let's move out of there.

(Music)

Come on, the ship's blasting off.
We've got to get back.

(Explosion)

(Music)

(Music) Brandon?

Brandon?

It's beer.

You haven't got a chance.

I've got one chance. You. You're trapped,
Brandon. There's guards everywhere.

It's your job to protect me.
Remember my importance to the organization.

I have to think about the mission.
The mission will be completed.

Now look, I'm going to hide out here.
You lead them away from me.

Then when things cool off...

Alright, I'll try. Give me a gun.
I may need it. Give me a gun.

Brandon?

(Gunshots) (Music) Well.

MEM. Come in. MEM. The
lunar depot has been destroyed.

Beard is dead. Repeat. Beard
is dead. MEM4 calling MEM4.

Cain, do you read me? Can you read me?

What's wrong? Why can't they hear us?

Look.

We're too late.

We're stranded.

We've only got enough air for a couple
of hours. After that, how do we survive?

Maybe we don't.

(Music)

Try for a time lock.
Quick. Or we lose them.

Power. All units.

(Music) Tony!

(Music)

(Explosions) (Music) Topham!

(Music)

(Music)

Where's the rest of the crew?

Trapped. Trapped.
Over 200 of them. All trapped.

(Music) This way!

I was blocked off of you. Go the other way.
Hey you! Get out of here!

(Music)

What's happened?
The men trapped back there. How many?

There will be 200. You better get out
of here. There will be more explosions.

We've got to get them out.

That's my job. Now you get out of here.

(Music)

(Music)

(Music)

(Music)
