Journey to the Seventh Planet Page #4

- Sorry, baby, can't talk now.

- That's not the way it used to be.

- I've got more important things to do.

- Like destroying the alien?

How did you know that?

Really, you are naive, Don.

Come on, darling.

Let's forget all about it.

I have a much better idea.

It won't do you any good.

Not you, nor your race on Earth.

- What about the Earth?

- Isn't it rather obvious by now?

Spell it out for me.

The Earth is going to be the new home

of this being you find so alien.

The devil it will.

If that thing ever gets on Earth,

they'll destroy it.

Will they, Don?

Why are you telling me this?

Who do you think is telling you?

Yes, your planet is rich...

warm...

filled with life.

I shall go there...

in one of your bodies.

Man is weak.

I shall make the terrors...

that dwell in his own mind destroy him.

And I shall bring a new race...

into being.

Nothing out there, either, sir.

So, it's testing us to see

how dangerous we can be.

Okay, we'll show it.

Baby, you better work.

The liquid oxygen tank?

- Filled and ready, sir.

- Good. We'll start at 0600 tomorrow.

We'll mount a guard here through the night.

Karl, you take the first tour.

Good luck.

Ursula, you better leave.

- You don't want me?

- I didn't say that.

I've waited for you.

You're not real. Get away.

Not real?

Liebling, how can you say that?

I love you.

Go back and leave me alone.

You look tired.

No. I won't listen to you.

Come on, darling, sit down.

Just for a while. Come on.

I won't hurt you.

You still have your protection. Come.

I guess I was tired.

- I feel much better.

- I knew you would.

- Let's hope this will work.

- It will.

Just don't connect the liquid oxygen tank

until you're ready to use it.

It might blow up in your face.

Okay, we're ready. Let's get going.

I'm leaving you alone here.

I'm sure you know why I chose you.

Guess so.

You think I'm the least likely

to fall for any of his tricks back here.

It's your show, Karl.

You know what to do. We'll back you up.

Right.

Get ready. Hook it up.

- It's ready, sir.

- All right, let him have it.

Karl, back!

Buried within it.

We haven't a chance.

Yes, we have. The liquid oxygen.

Don, what's the temperature here?

Minus 10.

I thought so. There's a reason

for that thing to be down here.

It's using the volcanic heat of the planet.

The liquid oxygen will freeze

the brain substance, make it hard as rock.

Our guns will finish him.

Explorer 12.

Come in, Svend, this is Eric.

Svend here. Yes, Commander?

Prepare for emergency takeoff. Repeat.

Prepare for emergency takeoff.

Yes, sir.

Up there, quick. Ingrid.

I had to see you again.

- I must leave this place.

- Don't leave me here.

All right, Ingrid, we'll try.

Don, give me a hand.

- We can't, Eric.

- Do as I say. We're taking her aboard.

- Karl?

- He's dead.

Let's get out of here.

Rockets on.

We made it.

Now let's check. Don?

- All readings check, sir.

- Svend, the motors?

Everything in perfect order.

Thank God.
