Garth A.

7, you have reached your programmed destination in the year 1, 9, 6, 6.

Previous briefing of all technology of that time sphere is in effect.

Final instructions will now be transmitted.

Proceed to nearby Desert City.

Locate Future Industries, Incorporated.

Find Professor Sigmund Marx.

Bring the Professor to this command.

If he resists, destroy him.

So this is your Old Town.

Yeah, and it's still a pretty nice town too.

Well, I guess so.

If you like ghost towns.

Me, I prefer the life of the city.

That's the trouble with this younger generation.

They got no respect for the good old days.

Let me tell you, son.

Right here, on this street, in the good old days, there was more activity than

you'll ever see in that new town years over yonder.

Let's go into the casino and have a couple of snorts.

Well, that's a good idea, Uncle Pete.

Except I have a feeling this town is dry.

You want a bet?

You don't think I was fool enough to put coffee in this, do you?

Come on in.

I want to introduce you to Poker Alice and all the rest of the gang.

Come on, Tex.

Before you poke your nose at a rattlesnake.

Yeah, Tex.

Yeah, Tex.

Tex, come in!

Tex, what's the matter, boy?

Snake bite?

I don't know.

Somebody's in there, Uncle Pete.

Probably some stinking miserable hermit, no doubt.

Let's flush him out.

You go around the back.

Come on out.

We know you're in there.

Come out with your hands reachin' for your maker.

I'm gonna get you.

Who sent you after me, old man?

You let go of me, you hear?

Answer me, you're not a tracer agent.

Who sent you after me?

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

Can I help you, sir?

Is there a facility near here known as Future Industries?

That's right, sir.

A research outfit right at the edge of town.

You just stay on Main Street here and you can't miss it.

Hey, isn't this Sam Gilmore's jeep?

That's his good luck charm there.

You know Sam?

What's the matter with that guy?

Some kind of nut or something?

Yeah, and that's Sam Gilmore's jeep.

I'm gonna call the sheriff.

Sam Gilmore, eh?

Where?

Future Industries.

He was wearing a crazy one?

All right, all right.

I hear you.

We'll check it out.

Thanks for calling.

J.C., you really going to leave Desert City?

Wouldn't you?

This town's no place for a real reporter.

I'm going to L.A.

where the action is.

Send unit 6 to Future Industries.

Haven't been on the lookout for a stranger in a red jeep.

Check out Sam Gilmore's registration while you're at it.

Right, Sheriff.

Unit Number Six, this is Headquarters.

Come in, Unit Six.

600 North Main, Sheriff.

Thanks, Harry.

Danny Boyle, let's go.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, Dan.

Dan, Sheriff.

Wait a minute.

What's happening here?

Sheriff?

Dan, wait, wait, wait.

Sheriff, what's the action?

This is a routine call, son.

600 Black on Main Street.

Okay, let me through.

Take way for the press.

Let me through, please.

Not really.

Looks like we might have a story here.

What happened, Sheriff?

Nothing special, J.C.

Just a simple burglary.

Wait, I could think somebody cleaned out the bank.

Hear that?

They think the bank's been robbed.

Well, what all they take?

The manager's in there checking his sock.

The safe hasn't been touched.

As far as I can see, they haven't taken anything.

That's all tenfold.

Yeah, that's Sam Gilmore's jeep all right.

The office checked with his home.

They went out to Old Town, just like the kid said.

Sam Gilmore?

Is he your suspect?

He started to shake the town up a little bit.

Now, wait a minute, J.C.

I didn't say Gilmore or anybody else was suspect.

Check your facts before you write the story.

All right, but what are the facts?

Now, don't bug me, boy.

I got work to do.

Bob, I want all the off-duty boys brought in.

Every alley and street in this town patrolled.

If there's a stranger picked up in question, take

this jeep back to the station and put in that call.

Then I'll go out to Old Town and check it out.

Fine.

That will be all for today.

See that he gets a good night's rest, Johnson.

And you had better get some rest, Sharon.

It would be a strenuous day for all of us.

Going to be an even more strenuous day for you, Professor.

I wish you'd cancel that lecture tonight.

I wouldn't dream of it.

I'd better get going if I don't want to be late.

The committee will be here at nine tomorrow.

I'll call you when we're ready for the demonstration.

Good-bye, Happy.

You know, it's such a long drive to Los Angeles with all that traffic and everything.

You haven't even had your dinner.

I thought we agreed that you weren't a pamperman anymore.

If you want to baby someone, why don't you find a nice young man and get married?

Oh, sure.

Some chance in a small town like this.

We all grew up here together.

I'm like an outsider, you know.

If the demonstration is successful tomorrow,

perhaps we'll move the project to New York.

How does that sound, Sharon?

Oh, marvelous!

And don't you worry about tomorrow.

When those Washington officials see what you've accomplished, they'll give you a

lab anywhere you want.

Now, here, you'd better get going.

You're going to be late for that lecture.

Professor?

Be careful.

Who are you?

Dr. Garth.

Boy, you startled me.

You always walk into rooms without knocking.

I came to see Professor Marx.

Well, I'm sorry, but the professor just left.

Was he expecting you?

No, he's not expecting me.

Are you his associate?

One of them, yes.

I'm Dr. Mason, Sharon Mason.

Will the professor return here tonight?

No, he's... he's in Los Angeles giving a lecture.

He'll be back in the morning.

Yes, I know.

Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, the world is destined to learn that Professor Marx's

important breakthrough in the field of radio telepathy.

Well, now, how did you know that?

It hasn't been publicized.

That is a fact of history, Dr. Mason.

A fact which must be altered.

I'm not sure I understand you.

You also do not understand the significance

of the professor's discoveries, nor does he.

You'd be terrified if you knew the importance of radio

telepathy in the world a hundred years from today.

And I suppose you do know.

That is why I am here.

The demonstration will not take place tomorrow.

Well, now, just who are you?

It is not important who I am.

I came here to prevent a scientific catastrophe.

A scientific catastrophe?

The professor's discovery is premature.

The scientific world of today is not ready for this breakthrough.

The secret will fall into the wrong hands.

The warlords of tomorrow will use radio telepathy for evil purposes.

I see.

And you are an agent from the world of the future.

Yes.

The world of torture and terror.

The world where free thought ceases to exist.

Where the minds of men are controlled by dictators

through the application of radio telepathy.

Do you understand, Dr. Mason?

Oh, yes.

Yes, I do understand.

If you'll just excuse me for a moment, I'll...

No, you do not understand, but you will.

My arrival was unfortunately mistimed.

Any delay can prove fatal, not only to me, but to my mission, to many innocent people.

It is now necessary that I have assistance.

Dr. Mason, you are about to participate in a

demonstration of perfected radio telepathy.

As you can see, my transmitting equipment is built in.

It is one of numerous mechanical and electronic devices I carry in my body.

You are a cyborg.

Yes, a cybernetic organism.

All special agents of the future are equipped in this manner.

You do not receive orders from international command.

Some of us were captured by the leaders of the Freedom Movement.

Our telepathy receivers have been altered.

We are free thinkers.

The mass population is not free thinking.

No.

The majority of the people of my time had receivers

implanted in their brains since childhood.

Their thoughts are controlled by the state.

You must help me carry out my assignment.

Before tomorrow morning, the enemy will have discovered my purpose.

They will send tracer agents after me.

These agents are cyborgs programmed to find and kill.

I carry a homing device in my chest, a time beamer.

Once the tracers pick up my signal, I cannot escape them.

The beamer must be removed and destroyed.

I will take you to Dr. Zeller.

He is a friend.

You must hurry.

When you wake up, you will not remember that I have forced my will upon you.

You will only know that you understand my mission and that you must assist me.

Dr. Mason, wake up.

Gareth, we have to go to Dr. Zeller's house.

About this time, he pulled out his twin 44s

and he started blasting everything that moved.

Wait a minute.

Twin 44s?

Yes, but his aim was not very good, so I rushed him.

I gave him a couple of punches and he will not forget.

He got away, right?

Yes, but it was like this.

I ran over to help young Sam.

He was out cold.

And when my back was turned, his maniac stole our jeep.

I can not figure out what is going on out here.

Gilmore is out, the old man is on his way out.

I'm taking him to the hospital.

Anything else happen in town?

We have three suspects who do not answer the description.

There are about a dozen alarm citizens out front and the mayor is on his way in.

That's about it.

Hold on to the suspects until I get into town.

Tell the mayor that everything is under control.

Yes, everything is under control.

Like who is doing what and why?

Do not be funny, JC.

Do not be smart for rumors in the library.

I do not want to panic in my hands.

Sharon, I do not know what happened to you.

You have always been a rational person.

How can you let a total stranger take you in with these fantastic stories?

It's the truth, Carl.

You have to believe me.

Do not be ridiculous.

The man is ill.

Schizophrenia, apparently.

He could be dangerous.

We have to call the police.

No, Carl.

We have to help him.

Sharon, you sound like you have been brainwashed.

There is no more time.

You must perform the operation at once.

You do not understand.

I am not a medical doctor.

I am not a surgeon.

But you are a biologist, Carl.

You can do it.

I know you can.

Sharon, you know that this is illegal.

You know the laws of the medical profession.

Everything is crazy.

Cyborgs, time capsules.

Doctor.

It's incredible.

But true, Dr. Zeller.

This hand has the strength of five like this.

Now you believe me, Carl.

Lock the door, Sharon.

I do not know what I believe right now, but...

I know what someone else would think if they saw that.

All right, what do I have to do?

Remove this plate.

Below you will find a thin membrane of polyvinyl pyrolidone.

Are you familiar with that plastic material?

Yes.

It will cut through the membrane.

Below you will find a small capsule.

It will resemble a ruby, about three quarters of an inch long.

That is the beam.

It is held in place by silicone threads.

You must cut the threads.

Well, I have the proper instruments, but no anesthetics.

The pain might be too much for you.

The nerves in that area have been sealed off.

I should feel nothing.

All right, let's get started.

Instruments are in that cabinet, Sharon.

Sterilizers on top.

Andrew, look at the way you park this fool car.

You're blocking the whole place.

Meant to.

Don't want nobody to get in ahead of me.

Andrew, stop blowing that fool horn.

It's a service station, ain't it?

That's what I want, service.

What will it be, sir?

Some gas and oil?

Look at the oil and check my rear left tire, will you?

Yes, sir.

Slim, check this left rear tire, will you?

Okay.

All right, sir.

Okay.

That's Laura and her friends.

Hey, Laura, where's your father?

In the lab, I guess.

The lights are on.

Yeah, he's probably working on some secret project.

I hear they're doing something real exciting

on a space program down at Future Industries.

Could be.

Dad and Professor Marx were fooling around with a chimpanzee last week.

A chimp?

They got him in there?

Let's sneak a look.

Skinny, Rick, don't, please.

Sharon, you better go out there and see that they don't get too inquisitive.

Oh, hi, Miss Mason.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Dr. Zeller is very busy right now.

He doesn't want to be interrupted.

Oh, we weren't going to the lab.

We were showing the girls how to groove.

Yeah, that's right.

You know, jerking.

Everybody, groove.

Come on.

It's incredible.

I think that this tiny object contains a

transmitter so powerful it can span vast distances.

Not only distance, Doctor, but through time as well.

How do you feel?

We are trained to ignore feelings.

All feelings?

All of them.

It must be a terrible way of life, not to know pain or pleasure.

Haven't you ever cared for anyone, Garth?

No one.

It cannot exist.

Not even your mother?

In the military state of 2087, all children are taken from their mothers at birth.

They are the property of the state.

And you think all that can be prevented if

Professor Marx's discovery is not made known?

Every development of the future is the result of today's actions.

That's the basic law of science, Dr. Zeller.

Cause and effect, yes.

Finished.

Where can I find a source of extra high voltage?

High voltage?

The beamer must be destroyed.

It will take at least 5,000 volts to short out its circuits.

I know.

The power station.

Yes, and it isn't far.

Good.

You must take me there.

You can't do that.

You'll tear open the incision.

The incision will be completely healed in ten minutes.

A special healing agent was injected into my blood.

Medical scientists continue to progress in the future, Doctor.

You will stay here.

I'll go with Dr. Zeller to the power station.

Use my car.

It's out front.

Hi,

Dr. Zeller.

Hello, Skinny.

Hi, Rick.

Hi, Daddy.

I hope we didn't disturb you.

Have you heard what's happening?

What's happening?

There's a nut on the loose.

That's right, sir.

He beat up Mr. Gilmore and his uncle out in the Old Town.

They weren't beat up.

They were drunk.

It's just rumors, Daddy.

That's right.

And the same rumors stole their car and broke into the store on Main Street.

Well, the town's really alive.

The heat's out all over the place.

Just jump, man.

Jump in.

Well, I don't think there's anything to worry about,

but maybe you'd better stay off the streets anyway.

Stay here and have a good time till I get back.

Sharon will stay with you.

Daddy.

Is anything wrong?

No.

Why?

You look worried about something.

I'm just a little tired.

We've been pushing on a project over at the lab.

All right, now, you kids try not to tear down the house, huh?

Who was that?

Did you see the look on his face?

Daddy, did you dig those weird boots?

Out of sight.

Who was that man, Sharon?

Oh, he's just a friend.

He's from another... He's from another country.

Yeah, well, he sure looked foreign.

You go for him, don't you?

Don't be silly.

Come on, Laura, let's dance.

In a minute, Rick.

Now, what's the matter with you?

You know something, Sharon.

Well, I think you and Dad are both blind as bats.

Well, ever since Mom died, he's been so wrapped up

in his research work, he doesn't know you're around.

And you stick to yourself so much, you don't know he exists.

I wish you'd both open up your eyes.

Well, you certainly are in a mood.

Well, I'm sorry, Sharon, but it's true.

You're both lonely and you like the same things.

And, well, you're still both pretty young.

Oh, thanks.

So what happens?

Nothing.

Rick, lock the back door.

Laura, has your father got a gun in the house?

What happened?

What's wrong?

Operator, get me the power station.

I'm sorry, but all the circuits are busy at the moment.

Operator, this is an urgent call.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

We are flooded with... Never mind.

Forget it.

Laura, will you get me my coat?

The sheriff's on the way.

I called him from next door.

What happened in here?

Rick, listen to me.

Can you drive Skinny's hot rod?

Me?

Sure.

But what did all this?

Never mind.

Listen, you come with me and I'll tell you all about it later.

The rest of you stay right here.

But where are we going?

The power station.

The power station?

Don't ask questions.

Just drive.

Okay, ma'am.

Hold on.

How long will that guard be unconscious?

About an hour.

My ray gun is adjustable.

Is that the same one that you used on Sam Gilmore and his uncle?

Yes.

My gun can only paralyze, not kill.

The same can not be said of the Tracer's weapons.

Time travelers, Dr. Zeller, it is a tremendous risk

to take the life of someone living in the past.

You start a chain reaction which may eradicate many lives in the future.

Even your own?

Yes.

Give me that.

We've seen that you'd be taking the same risk

if you remove someone from their own time.

Professor Marx, for example.

That's true, but the risk must be taken.

When that is ready,

I'll activate the power from the main control panel.

What's that?

Tracers.

I may be able to trap them in there quickly.

Dr. Zeller?

Use your gun.

No effect on cyborgs.

The Tracers are on their way.

I know, they're here already.

Where's Garth?

He's in there someplace.

Sharon, you shouldn't have come here.

But I had to.

They broke into your house.

They're monsters, Carl.

There they are.

They're up there on that roof, Sheriff.

Hey, Denny, come around back.

Hurry up.

Sheriff, they're armed with deadly ray guns.

Your men can't handle them.

Ray guns?

Come on now, Doc.

Come on! Get up on the roof!

Sheriff, you don't understand.

Well, there's one thing I understand.

Everybody in this town's gone crazy.

That bunch of kids at your house sent me a couple of monster characters.

Tore through the place dressed like mosh.

Now you tell me they got ray guns.

What the hell's got into all you people?

One of them jumped from that roof all the way over to that roof.

You out of your mind.

Yes, sir.

I never saw such a leap in all my life.

There he is.

They sure can't get down from there.

Not unless they want a couple of broken legs.

Bob, you stay here and keep your eyes open.

I'm going to radio for some more men.

We'll bottle them up here and then smoke them out.

Be sure they bring plenty of tear gas.

That's all tenfold.

Now, look, you folks.

Be clear out of here.

I don't want anybody to get hurt.

Well, Sheriff, hadn't I better stay?

You may need a doctor before this is over.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe you're right.

Right.

Rick, take Dr. Mason back to my house.

Now, Sharon, you wait there.

I'll keep you posted on whatever happens.

But, Carl, I don't... Listen, there's nothing more for you to do here, Sharon.

Now, wait a minute, Don.

How come you two have been by the power station tonight?

We were just driving by.

Just driving by.

That's right, Sheriff.

We were on our way to the research lab.

Future Industries is just down the highway, you know.

I know where it is.

And I also know it's way after midnight.

Well, we're preparing a big experiment for the morning.

I mean, something might have cured you here.

Those two so-called lunatics just happened to choose your house to break into.

And you two just happened to be driving by here.

Sheriff?

The office just radioed.

One of those maniacs has been seen on the highway.

Oh, now, that's impossible.

Everybody's imagining the thing.

Will you tell me what nut reported seeing a maniac now?

Judge Elmwood.

Who?

Judge Elmwood, sir.

Well, let's get over there and investigate.

Say, this turned out to be quite a night, hasn't it, Sheriff?

Well, that's what you wanted, wasn't it?

Something to write about.

Yeah, I know, but... I can't figure out what's going on.

I'll tell you something, J.C.

You got company.

Carl, do you think it was God?

Maybe.

But if he got away, I'm sure the Tracer did, too.

Well, at least he isn't carrying that beamer inside him.

He might be able to lose him in the night.

It's not going to be night much longer.

You know, he might try to make it to the lab.

I think I'll go there and wait.

And you'd better go to your house in case he goes back there.

You know, Sharon, he's on the run and time is running out.

I'm sure he'll go right to the time capsule and leave.

No, I don't care.

I'm going to the lab.

All right.

I'll wait at the house.

You call me if he shows up, huh?

And, Sharon, be careful.

Let's go back to the house.

And Rick, what you heard here tonight...

just between you and me.

Okay, but I sure got an earful.

All right, let's take off.

Garth?

No, it's Carl.

Any news?

He asked the sheriff to station two men here at the lab.

I think he suspects all the trouble has something to do with the project here.

I know.

He was here for half an hour giving me the third degree.

He's decided that enemy agents are after military secrets...

and that we know something about it.

You'll never know how near the truth he is.

What did you tell him?

I told him I was sworn to secrecy.

Now, look, he just left here, Sharon.

He may come there.

Oh, I wish there was some way for me to contact Garth.

If I just knew where he was...

Sharon, is something wrong?

Sharon!

Sharon, can you hear me?

Sharon!

There's Cape Tracer.

He's behind me.

How far?

Tracer could be up there on the hill, waiting.

I must elude him.

I will escape.

Mission must be accomplished.

Professor Marx, demonstration at nine o 'clock.

Not much time.

Local police will interfere.

Garth, think.

Think of where you are.

Professor Marx must not reveal his secrets.

Tracer, I will wait.

Tracer will depart.

Old town.

I will wait in the old town.

Professor Marx?

Sharon, you startled me.

What are you doing working so late?

I thought I told you to get a good night's rest.

I know.

I couldn't sleep.

There's been a lot of excitement in town.

Yes, I've heard about it.

It's on the late news.

I thought I'd better get back here early and clear up some notes...

before I hand them over to the... to the... Sharon.

The radio telepathy files aren't here.

I'll put them in the cabinet.

Did you move them, Sharon?

Yes.

They're in here.

Your notes, your diagrams... the whole thing, everything pertaining to the project.

It's all in here.

I don't understand.

Why did you take them out of the cabinet... and put them in the briefcase?

I have to take them to someone.

He's a friend.

He's here on an urgent mission.

Take them to someone?

Our project?

What in the world's come over you?

He's waiting.

Please, come with me.

Come with you where?

I can't explain it now.

Please, you've got to come with me.

Don't be absurd.

I'm not going anywhere.

Neither are you.

Now give me those files.

No.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Let me have the gun.

Now, I'll use it if I have to.

Please don't make me use it.

Sharon, now... suppose you tell me what this is all about.

If you're in some kind of trouble, I want to help you.

No.

No, it's nothing like that.

Something happened tonight while you were away.

Something that's so important to all of us.

Important enough for you to steal...

to threaten my life?

Yes.

Yes, it's that important.

And I can prove it to you if you'll just come with me.

Look, you've always trusted me, haven't you?

Then trust me now, because we haven't got any time.

What about our demonstration this morning?

The day we worked so hard for?

Do you mean to tell me your friend's mission... is more important than that?

I'm trying to tell you that that is the mission.

The radio telepathy demonstration just cannot take place today.

Garth!

Garth!

Garth!

He's here somewhere.

He's got to be.

You don't believe anything I've told you, do you?

I want to believe you, Sharon.

And they got into the professor's car and drove off.

That's all there was to it, Sheriff.

Any sign of those two psychos?

No, thank heavens.

There's been quite a church mouse around here.

Oh, that doctor, what's his name?

Zeller.

He came by.

What does he want?

I want to know the same thing you do.

Seem to be in a big hurry, too.

See where he's going?

No, he didn't.

All right, thank you, Ted.

Dan, I think I know where he went.

Garth!

Sharon!

We'd better go back to town.

The Tracer!

Sharon!

Maybe the Tracer's got him!

Sharon, please!

Garth!

Where's Sharon, Professor?

Over there, in that old building.

She's looking for someone called Garth.

She's been telling me that...

Sharon!

Sharon!

Stable, you'd better wait here.

We'll cut you down in a second.

We can't just stand here and let him kill the girl.

I'm going out there.

Garth!

The Tracer is using her to lure us to him.

The trick is working to our advantage.

Advantage?

We must hurry, Professor.

You'd leave without trying to help her?

He's been trained to ignore humans.

Dr. Mason knew the risks she was taking.

That's only because you forced your will on her.

You're more monstrous than the Tracer.

That is true.

One life is a small sacrifice to make...

if it will free tomorrow's world of such monsters.

Professor...

He's not injured, Professor.

He's only paralyzed for a short while.

The Tracer would have killed him.

You could kill me... right here, now.

And your mission would still be a success.

That completely.

The success of my mission depends on how you use the knowledge you gain of my time.

What will this Tracer do when he finds out you've escaped?

Garth.

I must leave now.

I know.

Well, Doctor, there's one thing I can sure believe.

That is a real...

What did you call that thing?

Cyborg.

Half human, half machine.

Programmed to kill.

Take me with you, Garth.

I cannot.

Please.

I want to be with you.

I need you.

And you need me.

Sharon, all the things that you have done have not been your own desire.

It was necessary for me to force my will upon you.

That is evil, but it is over with.

After I have gone, you'll be free of my will.

You will no longer care.

I will care.

I will.

I love you, Garth.

And you love me.

You know that's true, because you came back to save me.

Yes, that is true.

But you must remain here in your own time, Sharon.

Garth.

Listen to me.

Trust in what I say.

When I return to my own time with the Professor, the world of the future will change.

The Professor will not reveal his scientific breakthrough at nine o'clock.

From that moment on, every event in the future will be altered.

Some things will change just a little.

Others will not occur at all.

My mission is a success.

I will not exist in the world of the future.

After nine o'clock, you will have no memory of me.

And all the things that have happened since I arrived... will not take place.

Carl, what time do you have?

It's exactly nine o'clock.

After nine o'clock, you will have no memory of me.

And all the things that have happened since I arrived... will not take place.

Don't worry.

I've never known the Professor to be late for anything yet.

He'll be here.

I guess this is the most important day of his life.

You might say it's his moment of truth.

In a way, it's mine too, you know.

They accept this development.

We may move the whole operation.

Operation back east, New York probably.

You think you'll find your answer there, Sharon, in the city?

Good morning, Professor.

How was the lecture last night?

What?

The lecture.

Fine, fine, thanks.

Is anything wrong?

You feeling all right?

Sharon, I feel better than I ever have in my whole life.

Gentlemen, you've come to witness the most important experiment.

An experiment that demonstrates the development of a revolutionary

communication system.

Radio telepathy.

I must disappoint you.

There'll be no demonstration today.

No demonstration?

I don't understand, Professor Marx.

We were under the impression you were now ready to reveal your development.

Yes, that's true, Mr. Secretary.

I was ready.

But a matter of utmost importance came to my attention.

A matter I had completely overlooked until earlier this morning.

While going over my final notes, I suddenly became aware that the improper

application of such a system could result in a scientific and social disaster.

Professor Marx, you're aware that a great deal of time and money has gone into a

whole new kind of defense strategy based

entirely upon the success of this new system.

I'm a scientist, gentlemen, not a political or military strategist.

And as a scientist, I'm deeply concerned for my fellow man.

I've come to the conclusion...

I've come to the conclusion that the knowledge of radio telepathy at this time

would not be used for the peaceful purposes I had intended.

The military temptation is too great.

The consequences... far-reaching.

Possibly... far beyond our present understanding.

If you will excuse me, I'll get back to my work.

Gentlemen, I believe this meeting has been concluded.

Sharon,

I know how much you've counted on...

Forgive me.

It had to be this way.

Forgive you?

Oh, Professor, I've never been more proud of you.

Here, here.

Don't waste all this affection on me, young lady.

Now, the two of you, out.

I won't need any assistance today.

Well, Dr. Zeller, this may sound a little brazen

to you, but are you doing anything this afternoon?

It looks like I've got the day off.

You know something, Dr. Mason?

I was just about to ask you... if you'd like to come over to the house for a swim.

We'll have the pool to ourselves.

Carl, you've got a date.

Aces, J.C.

Four of them.

Dan, if you weren't wearing that badge, I'd swear you were a cheat.

Your deal, J.C.

You want in, Sheriff?

Those were the days.

What did you say, Sheriff?

Those were the days.

I should have been around 80 years ago.

Now, take Matt to him.

There was a lawman who was alive in a time when things really happened.

Nothing ever happens around here.

Just a quiet, peaceful little town.
