The Time Tunnel s01e30 Episode Script

Pretty sophisticated instruments.
Yeah, theyre years in the future of our time.
- I wonder what theyre used for? - I dontt know.
But right now, Id settle for just knowing where we are.
- Hes dead.
- He cantt be.
Theres no doubt about it.
But that impact- It wasnt hard enough to kill a man.
Lets see if we can find somebody.
- He isnt as dead as you thought.
- I tell you he was.
Look at him.
Hes a walking dead man.
I dont suppose youdd care to explain what happened? The only thing Ive got on my mind is just getting out of here.
Lets see if we have any better luck with this one.
How does a small-town hotel like this tie in with that scientific complex? I dont know.
But we dont need questions now.
What we need is answers.
First thing we have to do is find somebody.
- Anybody.
- Hello? Hello, is anybody here? Hello? You dont have to raise the dead, young man.
What can I do for you? You want rooms? Vittles? Well, speak up, young men.
Speak up.
- Downstairs in the cellar, maam- - Cellar? - What cellar are you talking about? - Right there.
- The electronic equipment and the man.
- Man.
Cellar.
I wonder who dug it while I was out in the kitchen settin out the biscuit dough to raise.
I dont think anyone just dug it.
You mean to tell me you dontt know- First things first, young man.
Lets start with this cellar business.
Suppose you, uh, lead me to it.
Well, we would, but the doors locked.
Oh, for pitys sake.
Aint been a lock on that door in 40 years.
Now, come on.
Come on.
Havent got all day to worry about a cellar that aint there.
You want to take a look, or dont you? You satisfied now? The Time Tunnel.
Hold it.
- Hold it steady.
- I cant, General.
Its as though some force field was setting up interference.
- We need more power.
- Do you have a time fix? - No.
- You know where they are? Somewhere along the North Atlantic Coast.
Could we try a lateral space transfer? - Well have to double the power output.
- All right.
Do it.
- Report.
- Our security has been penetrated.
Two Earth people were found in the oxygen transfer control area here.
I am already aware of that.
These terrestrials- Who are they? Information lacking.
I am holding them helpless awaiting your orders.
Within one hour we shall begin to remove all the oxygen in the air of their planet.
They will die.
How much time do we have to make the transfer? Eight hours Earth time.
It is your task to see that nothing interferes with our project.
It shall be done.
Ready to effect transfer.
But with that interference, Im sure we cantt move them more than a few feet.
Thats all we want.
just break them free of that force thatss holding them.
Well try.
- Are you ready? - Ready.
Transfer.
But how could a laboratory suddenly turn into a preserve pantry- Hey, it is a lab.
I dont get it.
What happened to the pantry and that old woman? I dont know.
But someone or something is playing a weird joke on us.
I just dont understand why.
Lets try that cellar door again.
An android.
That could explain a lot of things.
Yeah, or nothing unless we find a way out of here.
Andro 1 to Andro Leader.
Ready to receive communication.
Spaceship sensors indicate Earthlings have broken your control.
Report.
Request permission to eliminate terrestrials.
Permission granted.
Use oxygen removal test device as means to accomplish.
Acknowledged.
Lets try the window.
- Now what? - I dont know.
Listen.
Sounds like gas.
I dont know about you, but Idd rather take my chances with an android.
Its solid.
This place is hermetically sealed.
Lets see if we can find an inlet.
Theres got to be one here someplace.
Weve got to find it.
Tony, whats standard atmospheric pressure at sea level? Its down four points.
Theyre not sending in gas.
Theyre taking out oxygen.
Lets take this bench.
See if we can use it as a battering ram.
Once more.
All personnel.
All personnel.
Two Earth people have escaped from our control area.
They are in the village.
Find them.
Kill them.
Find them! Kill them! Looks like a New England town.
The same vintage as the hotel lobby where we met that old lady.
- Theres only one big difference.
- Whatss that? Theres not a sign of life.
Theres got to be somebody.
Come on.
Wed better find help before that android picks us up again.
Pete, do you think theyre all right? We cant trust them.
We never saw them before.
Is everybody one of them? I dont think theress anything left alive in this town except us.
- We gotta find a way out of here.
- We tried, didnt we? Well have to try some other way.
Get down! - Hey, theyre chasing the first two.
- So? Chasing them.
Maybe the first two are like us, trying to hide.
Wed better follow eem.
Maybe we can help each other.
- Hey, theres our first break.
Two live people.
- Wait a minute.
Whats the matter? First, they were running.
Now theyve stopped.
- Why? - I dont know.
How do you tell em from the townspeople? You dont.
Thatss why we canttt take any chances.
That siren- It started just before the androids came after us.
Why would it be stopping now? I dont know.
But you can bet they haventt given up.
They must have something on their minds.
Thats why wevve got to get out of town.
They set up an electromagnetic force field.
Probably have it around the whole town.
Theres got to be some way to let the outside world know whatss going on here.
Telegraph.
Radio.
Something.
Were not gonna have much time.
Lets get into town, see if we can find a phone.
They must be one of us.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
So lets be careful.
Andro Leader to Andro 1.
There must be no more mistakes.
- I want them dead.
- Acknowledged.
They must be disposed of before we start our operations.
It shall be done.
When do we begin transfer of oxygen? In 20 minutes Earth time.
We must begin teleporting Earths oxygen to our own planet, or it will be too late.
What is it? Whats happened to them? Hes like stone.
Its the woman from the hotel.
Theyre all frozen in some suspended form.
Somehow, the androids must use their bodies to appear human when they want to.
Shh.
Its only a couple of kids.
Are they? General, we cant lock our probe on them.
Its the force field around the town, General.
Our normal power isntt strong enough.
Build it up.
Use all the reserve if you have to.
Well try.
Feedback.
Weve lost them! Thats the honest truth.
You two and joan and me are the only real people in this town.
All the rest are creatures.
And these, uh, things- You say theyre gonna take all the Earthss oxygen and remove it to their own planet? Thats what we heard, mister.
Some of them were talking about it down by the wharf.
- We were heading out in Petes boat.
- Look, you gotta believe us.
The scientific setup in the hotel cellar- That must be their control system for the operation.
Then weve got to get to it and destroy it.
Yeah, I know.
But how? Well, that all depends on what era were in, the weapons that are available.
What year is this? - You dont know what year this is? - Look.
I know you wont understand this but we come from another period of time.
- Sure.
I understand, mister.
- o,you dont.
But that doesnt matter now.
You wanna save your lives, dontt you? Yeah, sure.
But we- Theres only one way to do it, and thatss stop those aliens.
Now, we need your help.
You dont have any choice.
Hes right, Pete.
What difference does it make now? Its September 10, 178.
that we should be able to handle the weapons.
Do you have any guns? Dynamite? Things like that in town we can get to? The general store.
There should be some there.
All right.
Lets get to it, fast.
Is it like this all over town? In every house and store weve been in.
- Wheres the dynamite? - Itss over there.
Theres more than enough to do the job.
If we can get into that cellar complex.
Listen.
- Theyre after us! - Welll be ready.
Everything here we need- tapes, fuses.
All right, Ann.
Power should be restored.
- Lets see if we can pick them up again.
- Right.
There.
We have them again.
We still havent fully penetrated their force field.
Sharpen the focus, Ann.
- Im trying to.
- Itss not the probe.
General, with a power surge from our reserve we might be able to penetrate their force field without the risk of a feedback.
All right.
Ann, call for the reserve.
Yes, sir.
Give me- Hello? Hello? The lines dead.
Hello? This is General Kirk speaking.
Hello? This ones out of commission too.
Ray, use the corridor phone.
Contact Communications Repair.
Whats the matter, Ann? I- Nothing.
For a moment, I, uh- - No, Im all- all right now.
- General.
- What is it? - All communications going out of the area are dead.
All the doors and exits are jammed shut tight.
They cant be opened.
I wish we had some help against those aliens.
The townspeople arent gonna be any help.
- Unless the Time Tunnel can bring them back to life.
Yeah.
General? General Kirk, can you hear me? Ann? Swain? This is September 10, 178.
Can you see us? Our location is Cliffport, Maine.
I feel light-headed.
Its a heaviness in the chest, General.
Did you find out anything? How about the door? Sealed tight.
Theres something wrong with the air support system.
I dont understand.
Barometer indicates atmospheric pressure down a couple of points.
All the air compressors are working.
I just checked the inlets myself.
Its- Itss as though something is removing the oxygen from the- Losing- Losing oxygen.
- Were losing oxygen through the Tunnel.
- Then- Then lets shut down.
- Well shut off power.
- No.
Welll lose our contact with Doug and Tony.
Only temporarily.
Only temporarily.
Go ahead, Ray.
Hit the switch.
No response.
It wont shut down.
The master switch.
General, can you hear us? Its no use.
Welll just have to do it ourselves.
- Hey.
Hey! - Whats the matter with you? You.
Youre one of them.
- No, were not.
- We heard you.
We saw you.
Talkin to something, somebody up there- one of them.
- We werent talking to one of them.
- You were! We heard you! We were talking to somebody who might be able to help us, Pete.
Sure, we know.
Help you kill us.
No, we were talking to friends.
The Time Tunnel.
Now, whats that supposed to mean? What kind of a tunnel is that? Look, we dont expect you to understand but they might be able to help us against those creatures.
Pete, dont listen to eem! Theyllll make us into statues too! Pete, listen to me.
If you go out there, youll run right into them.
Now stay with us.
Well help you.
Believe me.
- No! - Pete! Let em go, Tony.
Well, it wouldnt have done any good to explain it to them anyway.
- Should we try to find joan and Pete? - Lets get that cellar first.
Andro 1 to Andro Leader.
Andro 1, report.
Preparations for ionization of atmospheric oxygen completed.
Ready to teleport Earths free oxygen to Andros.
Begin.
Teleporting of Earths free oxygen begun.
Oxygen is heavy.
It sinks to the floor.
Get down.
Get down.
Stay there.
Come on.
Get down.
Breathe down there.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Down on the floor.
Youll breathe better.
- Ann.
Ann.
- What? Get down on the floor.
Yes.
Ray.
Ray, get down- down on the floor.
Tony? Doug? Tony, can you hear me? This is Time Tunnel calling you.
Reply.
- Tony? - What? - I didnt say anything.
- I thought I heard something.
Can you hear me, Doug? - Can you hear me? - We hear you, General.
Do you have a fix on us? Yes.
Yes, but were not able to- General, were in trouble.
We need help.
Can you track us? Doug, now listen to me.
Were not able- Ann and Ray are- - Some power has got a hold of the complex.
- Go ahead.
Whats wrong? Well, I think- Well, we think because were locked into you our oxygen is being drained out of the complex.
Were suffocating.
They must be hooked into the same thing thats going on here.
General.
178.
September 10.
Cliffport, Maine.
Invasion from another world.
Theyre taking all the Earthss free oxygen.
General, turn us loose.
Disconnect us.
Its the only chance you have of saving yourself.
If anything happens to you, we dont have a chance at all.
Doug, we cant do it.
Theyve locked us into 178 too.
Its up to you to cut the connection on your end.
Youve got to do it.
Itss the only way.
Theres enough time.
Fifteen minutes maybe.
Maybe even more.
Maybe- Maybe- Maybe 20 minutes.
Doug- Weve gotta get to that cellar.
Andro Leader to Andro 1.
Attention.
I hear you, Andro Leader.
Multiply Andro 2.
Andro 2 multiplied.
- What are we gonna do? I- - Now, you stay with us.
Whats happening? They mustve started draining oxygen from the atmosphere.
A low pressure area here will cause a storm center.
General, how- How long can we hold out? Well hold out.
Welll hold out.
Tony and Doug are gonna try to cut themselves loose from the Tunnel from their end.
Tony? Doug? Hurry.
Hurry.
We cant take her in the hotel.
Now listen.
You stay right here.
- No! Im afraid.
Take me with you.
- Youlll be safer here.
- What if one of them comes? - You dont have to worry about that.
They wont be out in this gale.
Theyrre not built to take this kind of punishment.
- Thats true.
- You just stay right here.
Do as I say.
Well be back for you.
Joanie, where are you? Joan! Joanie, where are you? Joan, where are you? Pete, where are you? Joanie! Where are you? Pete.
! Im in here, Pete.
! Stay there! Im coming! Hi.
Are you all right? Pete? Whats the matter? - Hey, whats the matter? - Stay away from me.
Whats got into you? Oh, you-You think Imm one of them? But I saw from around the corner- It never touched me.
I just stood stock-still.
You screamed and ran, and Ive been looking for you ever since all over town.
Whats the matter, honey? Dontt you believe me? I dont know.
Well, here.
Pinch me.
Its real.
Joanie, its me, honest.
Oh.
Oh, Pete.
Now, am I real, or aint I? Oh, I feel so scared.
I dont blame you, honey.
What happened to Tony and Doug? They must be in the hotel by now.
Theyre gonna blow it up.
Young man, dont you- Tony? Doug? Where are you? Doug? Doug, over here.
Help me, Doug.
Help, Doug.

Im over here, Doug.
Over here.
Help me.
Im coming, Pete.
Doug.
! Doug, where are you? Im over here.
- Whats that all about? - I had to be sure.
Come on.
Weve only got a few seconds.
Its all over.
Youlll be safe now.
Weve succeeded in blowing up their complex.
Now, that should release everyone that theyve touched.
Well, I guess Tony and Doug broke the connection.
Connection? What connection? Ill tell you about it.
Well, the skys still there.
Joanie.
! Joanie! Its Pete.
Lands sakes! Imm on fire! Titanic.

I must tell you something.
Yes, of course, Mr.
Newman.
What did you want to say? This ship is the Titanic.
Is that what you had to tell me? What I mean, sir, is the Titanic sank.
It struck an iceberg and was lost.
Captain, I know you didnt believe my friend here, and you wontt believe me.
But you can believe your own eyes.
This ship will strike an iceberg at 11.
40 tonight and go down.

And this time, see that they stay there.
Captain, do you think maybe we could all be of more help on the decks? Yes, yes, of course.
It occurs to me now you may even know whether I will die tonight.
Yes, sir, Im afraid you will.
