NARRATOR: Soledad Flats, Nevada, the time, 6:15 AM,

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX

the climax of arduous planning, Operation A-Bomb Test underway.

CONTROLLER: Detonation minus two minutes.

NARRATOR: Military personnel from buck

private to top-ranking brass, men from research and news

services move into position.

The bomb-carrying plane makes its initial run.

Radar with eyes that never sleep and special equipment

go into operation.

All orders are carried out with split-second precision.

[beeping]

Warning is given to all commercial aircraft

to stay out of the test area.

CONTROLLER: Detonation minus 70 seconds.

NARRATOR: Planes take to the air,

carrying sensitive instruments and nuclear scientists,

ready to record the radioactivity from the closest

possible vantage point.

CONTROLLER: Detonation minus 40 seconds.

NARRATOR: The bomb-carrying plane nears the target.

Tension mounts as all members of the flight crew

anticipate the task, to pinpoint the bomb on a tiny circle

of earth below.

Now the plane wings its way toward ground zero.

A warning signal is sounded.

All observers prepare for the blinding flash of the bomb.

CONTROLLER: Detonation minus 20 seconds.

NARRATOR: Command of the plane is given to the bombardier,

ground zero dead ahead.

The key man now goes into action.

Bomb bay doors open.

CONTROLLER: Detonation minus 10 seconds,

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

NARRATOR: This is the beginning.

[music playing]

You can make the position report now.

Have the figures ready.

Control from Tar Baby 2, over.

Go ahead, Tar Baby 2.

We're circling ground zero at a radius of 7.5 miles,

altitude 1, 5, 0, 0, 0 feet, air speed 4, 5, 0, stand by.

Roger and over.

She's all yours.

This is Dr. Martin.

Here are the readings-- 0.378 negative,

second indicator, 1.08 negative, radiation 0.4, over.

CONTROLLER: Roger, proceed according to plan.

Wilco and out.

Take her in closer.

OK, Dr. Martin, we'll have to keep at least 2 miles

OK, Dr. Martin, we'll have to keep at least 2 miles

from the center of the column.

The radiation was too strong.

What's that thing shining below?

It looks like a fireball.

We'd better check.

Dr. Martin, Dr. Martin, we're in trouble.

Pull out.

Pull out.

I can't.

[wind blowing]

The controls are frozen.

Tar Baby 2, from base, come in, Tar Baby 2.

Come in, Tar Baby 2.

We've lost contact, sir, Baker 2, sir, yes, sir.

All patrol craft in test area, this is a mayday.

Repeat, this is a mayday.

Proceed to segment baker 1, 7.

Search for Tar Baby 2.

Control, from Tar Baby 7, wreckage sighted,

southwest corner, Soledad flats.

Ship appears completely demolished.

No sign of survivors, over.

Roger, Tar Baby 7.

Circle wreckage at 1, 0, 0, 0 feet

until arrival of helicopter rescue unit.

Dr. Kruger, Colonel Banks speaking,

would you mind coming in to my office right away, please?

Thank you.

As I was saying, our search planes

found the wreckage of your husband's plane, Mrs. Martin.

A rescue crew was sent out, but--

But they must have reached the wreckage hours ago.

Why can't they find him?

I honestly don't know, Mrs. Martin.

[knocking]

Yes, come in.

Dead in the wreckage, and according to all reports,

no one could have bailed out.

I'm terribly sorry, Mrs. Martin.

[sobbing]

Dr. Martin, Dr. Martin, are you all right?

I-- I am, yes.

It's Dr. Martin.

Call the Bates Hospital.

Come on, Doctor.

Come on.

All right, look up to your right.

Now look over to your left.

All right, you can get up now.

Everything seems all right, except can't you

recall anything that happened from the time

your plane crashed until--

I remember the controls froze.

The next thing I saw was the main gate of the base.

You're plane completely demolished,

the pilot burned to death, and you

show up the picture of health.

Are you sure you weren't driven here?

Positive.

You don't remember where you got this?

Hmm-hmm.

You know, your medical chart shows no indication

of any scars on your body.

Well, I must have got it in the crash.

Huh-uh, no, this was surgery, a very skillful incision.

I've never had an operation.

That's what I don't understand.

Mr. Briggs.

Colonel Banks.

How are you, Mr. Briggs?

Fine, how are you?

Fine, I see the FBI doesn't waste much time.

Well, uh, not if we can help it, Colonel.

Oh, you know our base surgeon, Major Clift.

Sure, how have you been, Major?

How do you do?

Well, I guess you gentlemen have business to discuss.

Oh, no, no, this won't take a minute.

Sit down.

Sit down, will you, please, gentlemen?

Cigarette?

Oh, thank you.

I understand you've already talked with Dr. Martin.

I've just left him.

You know, uh, Colonel, um, according to my files,

Dr. Martin is just about the key man on this nuclear project.

Yes, along with Dr. Kruger, he is.

Mm-hmm, well, I know they're both good friends

and, uh, well, both have knowledge and access

to top-secret information.

Well, that's very true, but that's no

reason to suspect that they--

Oh, we can, uh, we can suspect anything, Colonel,

until Dr. Martin accounts for every minute

from the time of the crash.

The shock must have caused a mental block.

His mine doesn't want to remember the details,

the origin of the scar on his chest,

how he got back to the base under his own power.

Did you ever stop to think that perhaps this Dr. Martin

isn't really the Dr. Martin?

What are you getting at?

What I mean is that, uh, this man could be an impostor.

Briggs speaking, oh, oh, they did come through, huh?

They do check.

That's what I've been wait for, thanks.

Get me Colonel Banks at the base, please.

No, no, I'll wait.

Oh, yes, Mr. Briggs, any news on the line

you were getting on Dr. Martin?

Just heard from Washington.

Well, I was wrong.

This is our man, all right.

His prints and description check right down the line.

Now here's what I suggest you do.

But you say he's in excellent physical condition,

yet you're keeping him in the base hospital.

Why?

Mrs. Martin, you must realize that your husband is engaged

in a highly secret work.

If this experience had, well, affected his mind--

Are you trying to tell me that Doug is--

No, no, no, it's nothing serious, Mrs. Martin.

His reflexes are excellent.

Except for that one lapse of memory,

his mind is perfectly clear.

Isn't that natural under the circumstances?

Yes, except for the question of the scar on his chest.

I know he didn't have it before the crash.

Well, I'm sure he didn't, Mrs. Martin, but you see,

it would be impossible for a wound

of this size to have healed so quickly

and without medical attention.

Well, you can't keep him here indefinitely.

Well, we don't intend to.

Uh, we asked you to come down here because we've decided

to let you take him home, provided you can keep him quiet

and he gets enough rest.

I understand.

Now we'll just have to take that vacation

he's been wanting for so long.

Vacation?

To watch him, you'd think he'd never heard of one.

Yes, he must have asked me a hundred times when

the next test was scheduled.

He's anxious to take his own readings again.

Well, he did have the key part in the planning

of these projects.

Well, is there anything he should

or shouldn't be allowed to do?

No, except he does need diversion, anything

that won't upset or excite him.

I see-- movies, bridge, drives, things like that.

That's right.

Well, you're the doctor now.

Just see that he gets plenty of rest.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Colonel.

Goodbye.

See ya later, Major.

[music playing]

Doug, what's the matter?

I can't sleep.

What time is it?

A little after 3:00, I think I'll

get myself a glass of milk.

Get me squadron operations, duty desk, please.

Ellen, what did you get up for?

This is Dr. Martin calling.

Who is this speaking?

Sergeant Bandero, is there anything

I can do for you, Doctor?

I wondered if there were any last-minute orders

on another atomic test.

What do you mean, you can't tell me?

Sorry, sir, regulations, I can't

give out information to anyone.

No, sir, it won't do you any good to come down.

All right, we'll see about that.

I've got to get out to the base right away.

Ellen, don't you agree with me?

I've spent months preparing for this series of tests,

and no sergeant is gonna push me around now.

Well, aren't you gonna say anything?

No.

Look, I know they're ready for another test,

and I should be there.

Can't you understand that they don't want

you around for your own good?

I don't need their sympathy.

There's nothing wrong with me.

Then why are you acting this way?

You're all on edge.

If you don't slow down, I don't know what's going to happen.

You really believe that, don't you?

Oh, Doug, if you won't take it easy for your own sake, please,

do it for mine.

Hey, hey, time to get up.

Go away.

All right, stay in bed all day.

It's almost 11 o'clock.

What did you say?

I said it was almost 11 o'clock.

It is?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, you go put the coffee on while I get dressed.

I don't care what you say.

You had no right to go ahead without me,

and you, Curt, you didn't tell me either.

Why?

Orders, Doug.

Orders, nonsense, the least that could have been done

would have been to let me know.

I'm fine.

I could've done my work.

I hate to say this, Dr. Martin, but in your present state,

you're not considered a very good security risk.

Me, a security risk, my present state,

what's the matter with me?

How long am I to be considered--

Only temporarily, the results of the test

will be available for your study when you return to work.

I am ready, Colonel.

To us, you're still a very sick man.

My advice to you is to go home and relax as you were ordered.

Relax, relax, and if I don't?

Then you'll be confined to the base hospital

till you change your mind.

Now what's it gonna be?

Well, doctor--

Oh, Dr. Martin, I didn't expect you back so soon.

Well, haven't you heard?

I'm a mental case, can't even be trusted with my own work,

bah, liable to go berserk at any minute.

Colonel Banks will fill you in on the details.

Now don't-- don't tell me.

Let me see.

You're, uh-- I know.

I know, you're Miss, uh, Vincent, the secretary

I share with, um--

Oh, doctor, you can't be serious.

Uh, there was no one in your office

so I thought you wouldn't mind.

No, that's all right.

It's all right.

As far as I'm concerned, you can take the rest of the day off.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm, oh, I don't really belong here.

I just, uh, just came in to pick up a few personal things

from my desk.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Goodbye.

[music playing]

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

[footsteps moving away]

Main gate, main gate, please.

[phone ringing]

Just a minute, Doctor.

Main gate, Sergeant Powers, Dr. Kruger?

Dr. Kruger, Dr. Kruger, no, he checked out, yeah,

about 20 minutes ago, OK.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Doctor.

That's all right.

OK, Doctor, will you sign out, please?

We'll post a couple of men outside of Dr. Kruger's office.

Get me Colonel Banks at the officer's club.

Thank you, Doctor, good night.

Good evening, Dr. Kruger.

Yes?

My name is Briggs.

I'm from the FBI.

Briggs, Briggs, of course, I've heard of you.

I wonder if you'd mind, uh, returning to your office

with me.

What seems to be the trouble?

Oh, just a few things we'd like to straighten out.

Concerns me?

Well, I'm afraid so, Doctor.

Take your own car if you like. I'll meet you there.

All right, I will.

The papers seem to be attacked.

Is this all, uh, classified information, Doctor?

Of course.

You know, according to security regulations,

that vault should have been locked before you left.

But I'm certain I did lock it.

All right, then tell me this.

Who besides yourself has access to the combination?

Well, the colonel, here, and Dr. Martin.

Dr. Martin?

Doctor-- he was in the building this afternoon.

That's right.

We saw him in my office.

He let around 4 o'clock on orders.

He dismissed his secretary a few minutes later,

but he-- he didn't sign out of there

till 20 minutes after you left.

After I did?

Well, there must be some mistake.

I personally checked his office just as I was leaving,

and he wasn't there.

Do you always do that, Doctor?

No, but Dr. Martin has been acting, well,

quite strange of late.

Yes, he certainly has.

His wife telephoned to say that he hadn't come home as usual.

I was very much concerned about him.

So am I. He still hasn't shown up yet.

[music playing]

What kind of pipe tobacco do you use, Dr. Kruger?

Me?

Why, I don't smoke at all.

And you, Colonel?

Cigarettes, what are you driving at?

That's funny.

How long has Dr. Martin been using this brand of tobacco?

I really don't know.

Why?

Well, now, Mrs. Martin, you say you have no idea

where he could be at this hour.

I know he's never been this late

before without telephoning.

Well, I hate to ask this, but have

you ever had any suspicion that there might be another woman?

Certainly not.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Martin.

Just why are you asking me these questions?

Well, let's put it this way.

Has he made any new friends lately,

you know, people not in the usual group.

No, the only people we've [inaudible]

have been connected with the institute.

[phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Hello.

Yes, just a moment.

It's for you, Mr. Briggs.

Oh, thank you.

Put 10 gallons in her, huh?

OK.

Where is your phone?

Over there behind the pumps.

DISPATCHER (ON RADIO): Subject Dr.

Douglas Martin, last seen in Route 61

heading toward North Junction.

Stopped at gas station corner of Ridgewood and Mills Road.

Acknowledge.

Roger, Briggs out.

[music playing]

[tires squealing]

[horn honking]

Here, they're going to [inaudible].

They're here.

They're here.

They're here.

They're going to destroy us.

He's coming out of it.

It's all right, Dr. Martin, you are with friends.

You'll be all right.

MARTIN: Now let me go.

Let me go.

Steady now, steady, Doc.

They'll kill everyone.

We've got to stop them.

Easy, Doug, easy.

What did you give him?

Sodium amytal.

Truth serum.

It will deprive his mind of any imagination.

I guess he'll make sense now.

I'll get the recorder ready.

Can you hear me, Dr. Martin?

MARTIN: Yes.

Now listen to me.

I want you to count backwards from 100.

Do you understand?

Backwards from 100.

100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94--

100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94--

Oh, you can ask him questions now.

Dr. Martin, what were you doing with the information you

took from Dr. Kruger's vault?

I was delivering it.

Delivering it, but where, to the rocks in Soledad Flats?

Yes, to the Soledad Flats and where we crashed,

I was delivering it just as I was ordered.

Who ordered you to do this, Dr. Martin?

I'll you the whole story.

I remember we were circling the atomic cloud.

There was an object glowing beneath us at Soledad Flats.

We were going down to investigate.

Controls jammed.

Couldn't pull out.

When I regained consciousness, I was on a table.

The next thing I knew, they were coming at me, strange people.

There eyes are the most horrible eyes.

They didn't speak.

I could see something strange and eerie pulsating

in front of me.

Then one of them lowered it toward my chest.

It was my own heart.

[electric buzzing]

What happened?

What is this place?

Who are you?

What are you doing to me?

Can't you speak?

Who are you?

Step forward.

Dr. Martin, I see you are quite well.

You have recovered from your unfortunate accident.

Who are you?

A scientist, like yourself.

MARTIN: Where do you come from?

From a planet yet unknown to you.

You know my name.

You speak English.

ALIEN: We speak every language.

You can't expect me to believe that.

I'm getting out of here.

Stay where you are.

[shrill ringing]

Who are you?

I have already told you that.

How did you get here?

Here in our machine magnetically

propelled across the electron bridge

we have crea-- [inaudible].

Electron bridge?

You mean you come and go just like that without anyone

ever seeing you?

Our ships have been sighted on numerous occasions

by your people.

Then why haven't we been able to track one down?

We have a warning system similar

to your primitive radar.

Our machines are set to change course at the mere approach

of a pursuing object.

Let's say I do believe you.

Where are we right now?

In a cavern within the upper crust of the Earth.

How long have you been here?

Since the beginning of your experiments in nuclear fission.

What have you got to do with that?

We are accumulating the energy released with each

of your atomic explosions.

[buzzing]

One moment.

[speaking alien language]

What was that?

A report from the monitor we sent to the surface

to obtain the results of your last nuclear test.

Results?

They will take days to analyze and compute.

I think you will find these figures are correct.

I can't believe it.

Where is that man?

You don't recognize [inaudible] area?

No.

He is in the vicinity where you crashed.

MARTIN: That rock was glowing.

A normal reaction in view of the amount of radiation

absorbed-- you have a remarkable memory,

Doctor, considering the fact that you

did not survive the crash.

What do you mean?

The mechanism of your heart, it ceased to function.

It was necessary for us to revive it.

You were dead.

I was dead?

So that's what they were doing.

You didn't even try to help the pilot.

Why did you save me?

Because we had an important need of your services.

MARTIN: Such as?

[buzzing]

Look this way, Doctor.

You will understand.

[inaudible] You are the first of your world

to be looking at our solar system, the Astron.

This is our planet, Astron Delta.

It occupies the fourth position in relation to this, our sun.

Yes, go on.

ALIEN: During the 23rd time rotation, our sun began to die,

so during the succeeding generations,

as our planet began to cool, vegetation began to disappear.

Our eyes developed to this state to combat

the ever-growing darkness.

We were forced to migrate.

You left your planet, where?

We invaded these neighboring planets.

They were nearer to our sun.

MARTIN: You just moved in and took over?

How many of you?

All of us, well over 1 billion, there

were feeble attempts to stop us, but we were prepared

for such contingencies.

Now that our son is about to completely expire,

we must move again in order to survive.

Yours is the only planet in this solar system capable

of supporting our civilization.

This is fantastic.

Over a billion of you trying to come here to Earth?

We have no alternative.

We have been putting our plan to work for some time.

At the proper moment, the invasion

will be launched from our platforms which

are being readied in space.

Nothing can stop us.

--[inaudible], this is ridiculous.

You cannot find your way in or out of this cavern.

Do not try to leave.

[music playing]

[strange animal sounds]

[laughter]

So you have discovered our menagerie.

Don't you think you will be more at ease

on this side of the cage?

I-- it's horrible.

What are you doing here?

We are breeding our, shall I say, armies?

Those carnivorous insects and animals?

What have you done to them?

Their growth is due to a change in their genes.

With your next nuclear test, these animals will multiply

at a rate beyond imagination.

When the time comes, we will unleash them.

They will spread to every continent

and devour every living thing on the surface of the Earth.

What good will that do you?

How could you expect to survive better then we?

We have provided for that.

[buzzing]

No, Doctor, look over there.

We will use their bodies to fertilize the soil.

Vegetation will rise up in abundance.

A new era of civilization will begin.

Gamma rays?

You see, Doctor, we have arranged for everything.

[inaudible] all this equipment?

Our nucleostorage units, to date

we have accumulated several trillion electron volts

as a result of your atomic explosions.

Several trillion?

Why, uh, a chain reaction at this point

could release enough unstable isotopes to-- to create

a new and powerful element.

It might be impossible to control.

True, an element that will never be known

by your scientists, I can assure you the strength

of this new element will--

Why, this is a powder keg.

It could go off at any minute.

I assure you, Doctor, we have everything

under our complete control.

What force could possibly be strong enough

to harness the-- why, you control your whole operation

by electricity.

Of course, no generators, no generators, that means you're

getting your power from somewhere on the surface.

It must be passing through here.

You have heard enough, Dr. Martin.

Step inside.

All right, what do you want from me?

You will have access to advance information

relative to the time and strength of

the forthcoming atomic tests.

What about it?

You will provide us with that information

as soon as it is available.

I see.

You're afraid of an overload.

You can't tap enough electricity,

wherever you get it from, to control a strong enough charge.

You are a clever man, Doctor, perhaps too clever.

And what makes you think I'll give you any information?

It is the only way you can save your own life

when the time comes.

You will be transported to one of our platforms in space

and resettled here when our operation is completed.

You are asking me to sabotage the entire world,

3 billion people.

They are doomed, in any case.

Yeah, I guess there's no alternative.

I'll have to do as you say.

You are lying, Doctor.

Your only wish is to betray us.

No.

I know.

Your thoughts have been recorded.

Lie detectors?

Call it what you like.

You force me to resort to other methods.

I will contact our space station.

THE TALA: You are an unwilling subject, Dr. Martin.

Martin

What?

Who are you?

I am the Tala.

You will listen and obey.

No, I--

You will listen to my orders and obey me.

You will listen and obey.

Listen.

And obey.

You will remember nothing you have

seen or heard here, nothing but my orders, which you will obey.

Yes.

You will obtain the data and bring

it to the stone near the place where your plane was wrecked.

MARTIN: To the stone.

What have you seen or heard here?

What have you seen or heard here?

Nothing.

Repeat my orders.

I will obtain the data and bring it to the stone.

Well, that's what I did.

I took the information to where they told me.

I didn't realize I was being mesmerized.

Well, why doesn't somebody say something?

Don't you believe me?

Curt, you understand.

These giant animals, breeding by the millions,

they will devour everything unless we stop them.

Of course, Doug, we will.

Colonel, Colonel, you've got to arrange

to set off another bomb tonight, the strongest charge we have.

Hit beneath the ground with all their equipment.

We can blow 'em to pieces.

Now wait a minute.

A strong charge will overload their units.

You don't believe me, Colonel, Major, Curt?

Of course, we do-- easy, Doug, easy.

You think I'm crazy, all of you.

Well, I'm not.

Do you understand?

Everything I said is true.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Give me a hand, Doctor.

Now let me go.

Let me go.

Steady, steady, steady, take it easy now.

Take it easy.

We'll talk this whole thing over.

What are you doing to me now?

Just rest quietly.

That's it.

Mrs. Martin should be along any minute now.

She went for their car.

What'll I tell her?

Well, he's in a state of shock.

Tell her he's resting quietly.

If you'll excuse me, I think I'd better wait for her

at the information desk.

Well, Dr. Martin seems to be indestructible,

except for those hallucinations.

Those weren't hallucinations, Colonel.

Under the influence of sodium amytal,

a patient loses all control of his imagination.

Well, then he shouldn't be able to fabricate those stories.

That's right.

Major, you're not trying to tell us that everything he said

was true?

Look, gentlemen, I can only give you the medical facts.

As for the rest, you'll have to decide for yourself.

Excuse me, please.

Good evening, Dr. Kruger, chilly, isn't it?

Oh, Mr. Briggs, you startled me.

I didn't expect to see anyone here.

Well, uh, neither did I, Doctor.

Well, I suppose you want me to explain why I'm here.

Mm-hmm.

I want to believe Doug.

We've worked together a long time.

Anyway, I just had to come out here and check for myself.

Check what, Doctor?

For an entrance or an exit to the caverns he described.

I'm afraid you're wasting your time.

Have a cigarette, Doctor?

No, thank you.

See, we've already covered the entire area.

We couldn't find a thing.

Then what about that scar?

Like to see--

Oh, Mrs. Martin.

Oh, how is he, Doctor?

Oh, he's resting fine.

I think he'll be all right.

How is the car?

[music playing]

There's nothing to worry about.

Keep away from me.

Keep away, I said.

Doug.

Let me go.

They're after me.

Nobody is after you, Dr. Martin.

Keep away.

Doug, he's trying to help you.

I don't need any help.

I-- I want to see Curt right away.

Now you control yourself, and I'll call him just as soon

as you get back to your room.

Now you get back into bed, and I'll call Dr. Kruger.

Oh, I've got to figure something out

before he gets here.

I need a pencil, some paper, and a slide rule.

I'll see that you get it.

Oh, can I have Dr. Kruger, please?

[phone ringing]

Dr. Kruger speaking, oh, yes, Major, how is he?

All right, I'll be over in a few minutes.

Doug, Doug, Doug.

Curt.

Ellen, I got here as soon as I could.

Is there anything wrong?

He's much better.

Imagine, he's even started working.

He asked for paper and a slide rule.

That's interesting.

I wonder what he's up to.

Formulas, equations, anyway, whatever he says,

pretend to agree with it, Major Clift's orders.

Of course.

Doug, Doug, Curt's here.

Hello, Doug.

Now just a second.

I'm almost finished.

I'll take your hat.

Thank you.

Curt, let's face it.

I know that you all think there's

something wrong with me.

No, of course not.

No, I-- I wouldn't blame you after the story

I told last night.

Well, frankly, you did have us a little

worried asking that a bomb be dropped

because of what you said.

You don't believe me, either.

Curt, I tell you, I have been there.

I've seen what they're doing, breeding animals

into carnivorous monsters, but I don't need a bomb to stop them.

I've figured it out.

It's all here.

Now look, here's the nuclear strength of our last test,

and this is the amount of electricity

needed to control it.

Let me see that.

I had to estimate the conversion

rights of their transformers.

If these figures are correct, such transformers

must operate on a constant supply of electricity.

Where did they get that much electric power?

Only one way, they must tap it from the main lines

at the powerhouse.

They could do it by parallel induction.

Nobody would ever know the difference.

All we have to do is to cut it off.

Cut off the power?

We can't do that.

It would cause untold damage for miles around.

Such a power stoppage must be planned in advance.

8 to 10 seconds, that's all I need.

That gap in supply will short out their resistors,

and the whole thing will go up.

But you won't go along with that, no, no, not you.

Doug, get back in bed.

Where are the car keys? There they are.

Now look, you're carrying this too far.

Out of my way.

Doug.

Please call the main gate and try to stop Dr. Martin.

Doug took the car.

Hurry.

Dr. Martin, stop.

Stop.

He did what?

How long ago?

Right, we'll leave immediately.

What's wrong, Colonel?

Dr. Martin, he is on his way to the power house,

wants to cut off the power supply.

Let's go.

I couldn't stop him, Doctor.

He went that way.

[music playing]

Hey, no parking.

[machinery humming]

[phone ringing]

OK, you run up the stairs.

I'll look here.

-There's his car. -Come on.

Hurry.

He isn't back there.

Let's go.

Where is the driver of this car?

He went into the building.

This way to the control room.

We'd better take the stairs.

What do you want?

Where are the main switches?

Say, what's the matter with you?

Are you sleepwalking or something, mister?

[phone ringing]

Where are the switches that control [inaudible]

of that blast area?

I said, where are they?

This way.

[phone ringing]

Oh, control room, yeah, uh-huh.

Come on. Show me those switches.

Come on. -All right.

Cut that power.

Now look, cut it.

Now the next one, next, go on.

That'll to turn the power off for a hundred miles.

Do as I say.

Here it is.

Stay where you are.

Put down that gun, Dr. Martin.

I'm warning you, Colonel.

Come any closer, and I'll kill him.

Now the next one.

What's this one?

That's the master switch.

Cut it.

ELLEN: Doug, please, don't.

I said, cut it.

Get back, or I'll kill him.

Go on. Get back.

Do as he says.

Give me 10 seconds after I cut the power.

[inaudible] nothing will happen, and you

can do what you want to me.

But if I'm right, now, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8--

But if I'm right, now, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8--

[rumbling]

Over here.

Soledad Flats, right in the pudding.

Just as he said.

He blew them to pieces.
