00:01:00THE MAGIC LANDSCAPE
00:01:11Where do you think we are, Joe?
00:01:12In trouble. We're lost.
00:01:15The typhoon last night really blew us off course.
00:01:30Well, there goes number one, but that other one's okay, isn't it?
00:01:56So far.
00:01:57That's it, grits, we've had it.
00:02:01You in shape to swim to Australia?
00:02:02Swim?
00:02:03Why do it the hard way?
00:02:04We'll use the rubber boat.
00:02:05Look, over there.
00:02:06That's an island.
00:02:07Let's check it out.
00:02:08I've got room left between us and the ocean.
00:02:34Well, there goes the radio.
00:02:38Looks like a beach down there.
00:02:42Port engine's heating up.
00:02:43Yeah.
00:02:44We'll have to land.
00:02:45Any sign of life?
00:02:46Nothing I can see.
00:02:47Do not land here.
00:02:48We'll lead you a certain destruction.
00:02:49Well, that was something, and it's alive.
00:03:08Well, whatever it is, it doesn't sound too friendly.
00:03:11Certain destruction.
00:03:12Is he kidding?
00:03:13One engine gone.
00:03:14Radio out.
00:03:15Hang on, buddy.
00:03:16Here we go.
00:03:17Keep away.
00:03:18You must not land here.
00:03:19Atmospheric disturbance.
00:03:20We'll have to go through it.
00:03:21Looks like it's going to be a short landing.
00:03:36Unfeather that right engine, and start it.
00:03:37It won't start.
00:03:38I'll let it windmill.
00:04:09See, I told you there was nothing to be nervous about.
00:04:29Oh, I wasn't nervous.
00:04:32Paralyzed.
00:04:33You know, you're pretty good.
00:04:36Pretty good, he says.
00:04:39I'm terrific.
00:04:49Man, that was really close.
00:04:51Yeah, too close.
00:04:52Now let's find out who belongs to that voice we heard.
00:04:55Hello there!
00:05:19Here comes the welcoming committee.
00:05:25I warned you not to land here.
00:05:29One motor was gone, and we were having trouble with the other.
00:05:32We had to land here, or in the ocean.
00:05:34What you yelled at us would have kept us flying if we could.
00:05:37How'd you do that?
00:05:38I'm not without resources.
00:05:40Can your plane be repaired?
00:05:41Depends on what's the matter with it.
00:05:43You have emergency fuel?
00:05:44Yes, plenty.
00:05:45Well, how long will it take you to fix it?
00:05:47I won't know until I check into the trouble.
00:05:49But believe me, it's not going to be easy to bounce off this beach.
00:05:54We're sorry to have intruded on you.
00:05:57My name's Mark Bradley.
00:05:59The radio commentator.
00:06:01Why, yes.
00:06:02You've heard my broadcast back in the States?
00:06:04No, here.
00:06:06Here?
00:06:07By shortwave.
00:06:08You're on your way to the international news conference at Melbourne, aren't you?
00:06:11That's right.
00:06:12I'm afraid this is going to make me a little late for the opening ceremonies.
00:06:15I still don't know who you are.
00:06:18You may call me Mr. Paul.
00:06:21Very well, sir.
00:06:23Very well, sir.
00:06:24You here on a vacation?
00:06:26I live here.
00:06:27Really?
00:06:28We saw the island from the air, but it didn't seem to be civilized.
00:06:31And you're too far from civilization to be a traitor.
00:06:34I came here to get away from civilization, Mr. Bradley.
00:06:37I was successful.
00:06:39Until a few moments ago.
00:06:46Oh!
00:06:47Uranus!
00:06:54You're welcome.
00:06:57They come in threes.
00:06:59Yeah, man.
00:07:01I told you girls to stay in the shelter.
00:07:03Oh, we just wanted to see them, Father.
00:07:05They're beautiful.
00:07:06You've got that backwards.
00:07:07What's your name?
00:07:09I'm Mark Bradley, and this is Joe Walker, my pilot.
00:07:12Well, let's start this from right to left, huh?
00:07:14You first.
00:07:15I'm Mercuria.
00:07:18This is my father.
00:07:21This is Venus.
00:07:24And Uranus.
00:07:26Our father named us after the planet.
00:07:28Uranus, the baby.
00:07:30I'm not a baby.
00:07:31I'm 16.
00:07:32You're much prettier than the men we've seen in books.
00:07:35You're the first live young men we've ever seen.
00:07:37We almost weren't.
00:07:39Well, alive, that is.
00:07:40Will you please take the damage to your plane?
00:07:42Oh, sure.
00:07:44Go ahead, Joe.
00:07:51May we go watch, Father?
00:07:53Hmm?
00:07:54Oh, yes, I suppose so.
00:08:09It certainly looks complicated.
00:08:12Looks like we've got a busted fuel pump and clogged gas lines.
00:08:16That's rough.
00:08:17It's going to mean a delay.
00:08:18You mean you think I'd like to stall around here?
00:08:22All right, I'll put it another way.
00:08:24I'm happy to report we've got a busted fuel pump.
00:08:26What about the spare?
00:08:27Well, it's still a two-day job.
00:08:29I'd tear down the whole bank to get at it.
00:08:32With a little effort, I could stretch it into three days.
00:08:35You mean you'll be with us three whole days?
00:08:38I can't offer you lodging, gentlemen,
00:08:40but at this time of year, the weather's quite pleasant here.
00:08:43I think you'll find the beach quite comfortable.
00:08:45I think you'll find the beach quite comfortable
00:08:47for the two days you stay here.
00:08:49Of course.
00:08:50They'll eat with us in the shelter, won't they, Father?
00:08:53Yes.
00:08:54Yes, of course.
00:09:05You designed these swimsuits yourselves?
00:09:07Yes.
00:09:08Tunics out of one of Father's books.
00:09:10But they're not swimsuits.
00:09:12It's so warm here.
00:09:13We dress like this all year round.
00:09:20Here's where we live.
00:09:22In a cave?
00:09:23Wait till you see it.
00:09:30Must be an electronic eye.
00:09:31Yeah.
00:09:32Say, your old man's pretty sharp.
00:09:40Come in, gentlemen.
00:09:42Well, what do you know?
00:09:45Books.
00:09:46Furniture.
00:09:47If there's another place like this on the island, I'll take it.
00:09:50That's amazing.
00:09:52Now, lighting.
00:09:53Where do you get your power?
00:09:55I have a solar furnace.
00:09:56It's quite a project.
00:09:58Look over here.
00:10:01Through these panels,
00:10:02we collect the rays of the sun to operate the power plant.
00:10:05You've certainly done wonders.
00:10:07There must be an interesting story behind all this.
00:10:10There is.
00:10:13Do you mind if I take a look around?
00:10:15Go ahead.
00:10:16And then, this is another one I like.
00:10:18The rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
00:10:20And there's little women and jergan.
00:10:23I don't understand everything, but I like them.
00:10:26I'd like to show you something we're very proud of.
00:10:32Father built it himself.
00:10:34This must be the shore wave set your father mentioned.
00:10:36It's our only contact with the outside world.
00:10:38That's my pet program.
00:10:39We hear you on that station every week, Mr. Bradley.
00:10:43Hey, wait a minute.
00:10:44We can use that transmitter to tell the network what happened.
00:10:47They must be...
00:10:48We have no transmitter.
00:10:49There's no way of getting a message away from this island, Mr. Bradley.
00:10:52You'll have left long before your network becomes too upset.
00:10:55If we don't arrive in Melbourne tonight, they're going to be real upset.
00:10:58They'll have a search party underway within a matter of hours.
00:11:01That's what I'm trying to avoid.
00:11:03Mercurio, why don't you and Venus, uh,
00:11:05get started on some food for our guests?
00:11:07Yes, Father.
00:11:09Don't you have to help your sisters?
00:11:10I have to gather the eggs.
00:11:12You want to come with me?
00:11:13Sure.
00:11:14That's the way I like my eggs, gathered.
00:11:21It's dark.
00:11:22Make yourself comfortable.
00:11:29I suppose you do deserve some sort of explanation.
00:11:32You'd like to know why I'm here, alone with my daughters?
00:11:35Yes.
00:11:36Yes, I would.
00:11:38Well, it started with the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima 15 years ago.
00:11:43I was one of the many scientists
00:11:46associated with the development of atomic energy.
00:11:50I was led to believe that the bomb itself would be used only as a threat.
00:11:55So you ran away?
00:11:56No, sir.
00:11:57I made my escape.
00:11:58So you ran away?
00:11:59No, sir.
00:12:00I made my choice.
00:12:02A young wife and three small children.
00:12:04We converted everything we owned to cash and sailed for Honolulu.
00:12:07There I accumulated what I would need here, everything.
00:12:11I bought an old inter-island trading schooner.
00:12:14Scaphism.
00:12:15That's just a word, Mr. Bradley.
00:12:16I was concerned with reality.
00:12:17I did what I thought was right.
00:12:19Whatever you call it,
00:12:20half the people in the world wish they could do the same thing.
00:12:22Sure.
00:12:23Just a chance to live at peace with your children.
00:12:26You did all this by yourself?
00:12:28No.
00:12:29No, I hired two native seamen to man the schooner.
00:12:31They stayed here for three months and helped me build this shelter.
00:12:35And we're the first men you've seen in 15 years.
00:12:37Yes.
00:12:38Frankly, you can't wait till we leave.
00:12:41I wish you'd never come.
00:12:44Have you found everything you expected here?
00:12:46Didn't your wife miss the world?
00:12:49My wife?
00:12:50Oh, no.
00:12:51Before she died, our life here was perfect.
00:12:54We had each other, our books, our hobbies,
00:12:57and the children.
00:12:59Then we kept in touch.
00:13:00We heard what was going on in the outside through our radio.
00:13:04I'd like to ask you one more question.
00:13:06Well, what is it?
00:13:07I can't help but be curious about your daughter's future.
00:13:10How they're going to lead normal lives
00:13:12without families of their own.
00:13:14You think I'm worried about that a great deal?
00:13:17I keep telling myself
00:13:18that it's better for them to remain unmarried
00:13:21than to go back to what I still believe is certain death.
00:13:25Wasn't that a bit cowardly,
00:13:26not to go back and fight for what you really believe in?
00:13:34That fight was lost at Hiroshima.
00:13:39Some of your best wine, Father,
00:13:40for such a special occasion.
00:13:44Where's Mr. Walker?
00:13:45Gathering eggs with Urana.
00:13:48Venus will be here with the food at evening.
00:13:50I'm in charge of the chickens.
00:13:51And I take care of the garden, too.
00:13:53Mycteria's in charge of us girls.
00:13:55She weaves our clothes out of goat's wool
00:13:57on a loom that Father built.
00:13:59Venus is the cook.
00:14:00I'll get the eggs.
00:14:01No, let me get them.
00:14:02They're over there.
00:14:03Just lift up that board.
00:14:04Dr. Paul Loujah.
00:14:07California Institute.
00:14:13Are you glad I asked, Father,
00:14:14if I could take a walk with you?
00:14:15Sure, I'm glad.
00:14:16I'm just a little surprised he let you go.
00:14:20You know, I don't understand.
00:14:21You have no idea how much I love you.
00:14:24I'm a fool for you.
00:14:25And I'm a fool for you.
00:14:26And I'm a fool for you.
00:14:27I'm a fool for you.
00:14:28I'm a fool for you.
00:14:29And I'm a fool for you.
00:14:30I'm a fool for you.
00:14:31I'm a fool for you.
00:14:32I'm a fool for you.
00:14:33You mean because you're a man and I'm a woman?
00:14:35That's part of it.
00:14:37Men and women should be together. It's a natural thing, isn't it?
00:14:40Why should father object?
00:14:42Well, I have the impression he's a little bit strict with you.
00:14:45About those questions you wanted to ask me.
00:14:47Oh, let me see.
00:14:50Suppose you tell me about your life. Is it exciting?
00:14:53Yes, yes, I think so. I get to travel, I meet interesting people.
00:14:57You've been just about everywhere, haven't you?
00:15:00What kind of things do you like best?
00:15:02Oh, good plays, opera, football, baseball.
00:15:06I've heard baseball games on our radio. They don't sound very exciting.
00:15:10I think I'd be more interested in the shops, plays.
00:15:15Oh, and men, of course.
00:15:17The thing I think I'm most interested in is men.
00:15:21Do you dream much?
00:15:23The average amount, I guess. Why?
00:15:26Well, almost every night I dream I'm just floating along.
00:15:31It's the most wonderful feeling.
00:15:33Well, that's quite a common dream.
00:15:36Is there a copy of Freud in your father's library?
00:15:39If there is, I haven't read it. Freud, you said?
00:15:41Yes, well, you see, he has some interesting theories about what dreams really mean.
00:15:45Well, ask father if he has the book.
00:15:47You do that.
00:15:48Perhaps tomorrow you and I could lie on the beach and you could read to me what Freud says about dreams.
00:15:53Would you like that?
00:15:54Sure, but...
00:15:57You know, I'm beginning to think you're afraid of me.
00:16:00Should I be?
00:16:02Of course not. You're very tall. I like that.
00:16:05I like being with you.
00:16:17Father says for you to come back now. It's time for bed.
00:16:20I suppose that was your idea.
00:16:22That's right.
00:16:23Come on, lead the way, little sister.
00:16:25I will with you.
00:16:29Did you kiss her?
00:16:31What?
00:16:32Did you kiss her?
00:16:33No, I didn't.
00:16:35She must be terribly disappointed.
00:16:37Will you please be quiet?
00:16:38Well, she hoped you would.
00:16:39I did not.
00:16:40You did.
00:16:41Whoa, now wait a minute. Now, what on earth makes you think a thing like that?
00:16:44I'm a woman.
00:16:45You're not. You're nothing but a spoiled child.
00:16:48I'm a woman, and women know about other women.
00:16:50I'll tell you something. You better kiss her tomorrow or she'll never forgive you.
00:16:54You know, you are a spoiled child.
00:16:56You don't believe me? Just look at her.
00:17:07Father, will you please do something about your outrageous child?
00:17:10Why? What did you do?
00:17:12You said the most embarrassing things about me in front of Mr. Bradley.
00:17:16Embarrassing and untruthful.
00:17:19Well, Urana, what did you say?
00:17:21I don't care to discuss it.
00:17:23Except that every word I said was absolutely true, and she knows it.
00:17:27Good night, everyone.
00:17:30There's your bedding, Mr. Bradley.
00:17:32Come along, girls.
00:17:34Good night.
00:17:35Good night.
00:17:36Good night.
00:17:37Good night.
00:17:44I'll bet he's moving the furniture against that door.
00:17:46I don't think he trusts us.
00:17:47I wish we had a door with a lock on it.
00:17:49I don't trust those young ladies.
00:17:51How's the Venus, huh?
00:17:59Five years.
00:18:01Hmm?
00:18:02That's how long we've been together.
00:18:04Everywhere. The works.
00:18:06Yeah, and this tops them all.
00:18:08An island that's not on the map, complete with three gorgeous gals.
00:18:12Crazy, but nice.
00:18:13You're missing the story. All you can see are the girls.
00:18:17Who did the vanishing act with Venus tonight?
00:18:19Never mind that.
00:18:21No, the old man's a real story.
00:18:25You know who he is?
00:18:27No.
00:18:28No, not yet.
00:18:30I do.
00:18:31How?
00:18:32Her curia tell you?
00:18:34Nope.
00:18:36You're not the only one with a nose for news.
00:18:38I saw his name stenciled on a board in the chicken coop.
00:18:41It's filled out of old packing crates.
00:18:43Well, who is he?
00:18:44Dr. Paul Lujan.
00:18:46Home base, California Institute.
00:18:48Lujan.
00:18:49Yeah, that figures.
00:18:51Yeah? Tell me.
00:18:53He's one of the scientists who helped discover atomic power.
00:18:55Worked with Dr. Einstein.
00:18:57No kidding.
00:18:58He's one of the leading authorities on nuclear fission in the world.
00:19:01Hey, he's not going to like you broadcasting where he is.
00:19:04That's the point. I want to get the story on the wires.
00:19:07I want to fly out of here by tomorrow night.
00:19:09I'll try.
00:19:10That's not good enough. You've got to do it.
00:19:12Okay. Let's get the old eight hours.
00:19:15I haven't really beat.
00:19:19Well, you're working on that fuel pump.
00:19:21I want to get some pictures of Lujan and the girls.
00:19:23Now, wait a minute. I'm the cameraman,
00:19:25and I want to be there when you break the news to Lujan.
00:19:27Okay. Come on. Snap it up.
00:19:28And that pump's going to take more than one day to fix, I'm telling you.
00:19:31Come on. Hurry up if you're going with me.
00:19:32All right. I'm hurrying.
00:19:36Hold it right there.
00:19:38Just a minute, Joe.
00:19:40Say cheese.
00:19:42Well, saying cheese is a little hard.
00:19:44Say cheese.
00:19:47Well, saying cheese makes you smile.
00:19:50Cheese.
00:19:51Smile. Got it.
00:19:53Oh, take one of me alone.
00:19:54I haven't had a picture taken since I was a baby.
00:19:56Good morning.
00:19:57Good morning.
00:19:58What are you doing?
00:19:59Taking pictures.
00:20:00Stand next to your renter, please.
00:20:04And say cheese. It makes you smile.
00:20:08Cheese.
00:20:13There.
00:20:15They've been taking our pictures, Father.
00:20:17We want you in the next shot, Dr. Lujan.
00:20:21Run along, girls.
00:20:23I want to talk with these gentlemen alone.
00:20:25All right, Father.
00:20:33So you know who I am, Mr. Bradley.
00:20:35It's a great pity.
00:20:36My good luck.
00:20:38You know, you were the object of one of the greatest manhunts of all time.
00:20:41Now that you've found me, what do you intend to do?
00:20:44I'm a newspaper man.
00:20:46Your news, Doctor. World news.
00:20:48I gave up your world.
00:20:50I told you why.
00:20:51I don't go along with your thinking, Doctor.
00:20:53I'll make you a proposition.
00:20:55If you give me your word not to divulge what you've seen on this island,
00:20:58I'll permit you to leave.
00:21:00Look, we gave our position before our radio went out.
00:21:03If we don't get to Melbourne, they'll have a search party out
00:21:05that'll put your utopia right on the map.
00:21:08If that's your answer, they won't find you.
00:21:12How do you think they're going to miss seeing our plane on the beach?
00:21:15It won't be there.
00:21:20What does he mean, it won't be there?
00:21:22I don't know.
00:21:24I'd better get that plane fixed before the roof caves in.
00:21:27Yeah, it's obvious he won't listen to reason.
00:21:31Now we've got to get out of here. Pronto.
00:21:33I'll get to work on that fuel pump.
00:21:35That may not be necessary.
00:21:37I hoped and prayed that no one would ever disturb our isolation here.
00:21:41But if they did, I knew I had to be ready for them.
00:21:47That looks like a luger.
00:21:49It was a luger, until I put this on it.
00:21:52Oh, it's a luger.
00:21:54It's a luger.
00:21:56It's a luger.
00:21:58There's a few letters on it.
00:22:00What is it now?
00:22:02Condensed flame thrower.
00:22:04You certainly don't intend to use it.
00:22:06That depends entirely on you.
00:22:09You have only to give me your word.
00:22:12You're front page news, Doctor.
00:22:14What I told you still goes.
00:22:17Very well.
00:22:28Don't look!
00:22:30Don't look!
00:22:55You must be proud of yourself, Doctor.
00:22:57For a man who hates violence.
00:22:59I warned you, I told you what would happen.
00:23:01But you wouldn't listen.
00:23:02So?
00:23:03So now what happens?
00:23:05I'm not sure. I need time to think.
00:23:08Then what do we do while you're thinking?
00:23:10Whatever you like.
00:23:14What happened?
00:23:16Your father destroyed our plane.
00:23:18But why?
00:23:20Stopped me from telling the world where he is.
00:23:22You know how he feels about that.
00:23:24Yes, but now you can't leave.
00:23:26That's right.
00:23:27Joe and I have families and friends.
00:23:29They probably think we're dead.
00:23:31That's why we've got to leave.
00:23:34The only way out of here is to build a raft.
00:23:36But we need tools.
00:23:38Can you get them for us?
00:23:41Father wouldn't let us.
00:23:44He has no right to keep us here.
00:23:46You must realize that.
00:23:47You've got to help us.
00:23:52I'm sorry, Mr. Bradley.
00:23:58It looks like we're stuck, buddy.
00:24:00Shall we swim?
00:24:07Father, we want to talk to you.
00:24:09Yes, dear.
00:24:10What are you going to do?
00:24:11I mean, it doesn't seem fair to keep them here
00:24:13if they don't want to stay.
00:24:14We'll see.
00:24:15I haven't decided yet.
00:24:16Is it all right if we talk to him?
00:24:18Yes, if you want to.
00:24:20But don't you want to talk to him?
00:24:22I mean, after all these years,
00:24:23you've never talked to him.
00:24:25I mean, after all these years,
00:24:26you've never had anyone to discuss things with.
00:24:28Mr. Bradley's awfully intelligent.
00:24:30Don't you think so, Father?
00:24:31Oh, yes.
00:24:32I'd like to talk to him,
00:24:33but I'm afraid it's not possible.
00:24:34You've always said nothing is impossible.
00:24:36If you could just be friends
00:24:38and then leave it up to them.
00:24:39Please, Father.
00:24:41You could at least try.
00:24:44Let's see.
00:24:46Why don't we just clobber that son of a burn genius
00:24:48and take over?
00:24:50That's no good.
00:24:51We need the girls on our side.
00:24:52If we start rousting the old man around,
00:24:54they'll never help us.
00:24:56Gentlemen.
00:24:57My, uh...
00:24:58My daughters have suggested
00:24:59that I offer you a truce of sorts.
00:25:02No deal, Doctor.
00:25:03No deal.
00:25:04No deal.
00:25:05No deal.
00:25:06No deal.
00:25:07No deal.
00:25:08No deal.
00:25:09No deal.
00:25:10No deal.
00:25:11No deal.
00:25:12No deal, Doctor.
00:25:13We're getting off this island.
00:25:14Oh?
00:25:15In the meantime, if you care to,
00:25:17you're welcome to come to dinner.
00:25:19Thanks.
00:25:20Anytime.
00:25:26I wouldn't trust him as far as I could kick an anvil.
00:25:28I wouldn't either.
00:25:29But he's got one good weapon.
00:25:31And I don't mean that flamethrower.
00:25:33What's that?
00:25:34That dinner he offered us.
00:25:36Yeah, man.
00:25:39Hey!
00:25:40They're here!
00:25:41They're here!
00:25:42Come on in!
00:25:43Your father asked us to dinner.
00:25:45We're so glad you accepted.
00:25:47Now, let's not stand on ceremony.
00:25:49Where's the food?
00:25:50I'm delighted you came.
00:25:52I'm delighted you asked us.
00:25:53Well, the girls are getting dinner ready.
00:25:55But you'd be interested in seeing my laboratory.
00:25:57Yes, I certainly would.
00:25:59Well, you go ahead, Mark.
00:26:00Hey, I'm a fool of peeling potatoes.
00:26:02Can you use me in the kitchen?
00:26:03We'll find something for you to do.
00:26:05Can you cook?
00:26:06Can I cook?
00:26:07Well, you've never tasted anything
00:26:08till you've sampled my barbecued buffalo into a glass.
00:26:12Well, come along, then.
00:26:13I'll get the vegetables.
00:26:14Your pilot's quite a character.
00:26:16Yes, he is.
00:26:17One of the best.
00:26:18Also a good friend.
00:26:26Your cigarette, Mr. Brandy.
00:26:28Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:31You're surprised, eh?
00:26:33That's putting it mildly.
00:26:34This is my world.
00:26:36I brought it with me when I left yours.
00:26:38What's the ultimate purpose of these experiments, Doctor?
00:26:41I spent 20 years trying to enrich natural uranium
00:26:44into the isotope U-235.
00:26:46Do you know that it took all the resources of the United States
00:26:49to build the equipment to carry this on?
00:26:51Well, I felt there must be a simpler way.
00:26:53And now I think I've found it.
00:26:54Now, here's the way I enrich the uranium.
00:26:56I have a stage reactor there
00:26:57in which I can melt it down into slug form
00:26:59with the heat from my solar furnace.
00:27:02This is the natural uranium.
00:27:04First, I insert it into this special container.
00:27:08Then I push this...
00:27:12into the reactor.
00:27:14Do you have to operate this from a distance?
00:27:15Oh, yes. There's radiation all over.
00:27:17Now, Mr. Baddeley,
00:27:18if you look through that reactor periscope,
00:27:20you'll see how I load the charge into the first tube.
00:27:25Can you see clearly?
00:27:26Yes, fine.
00:27:27That well's about 38 feet deep.
00:27:31This rod forces up another rod vertically,
00:27:35as you see there.
00:27:37The first canister is loaded.
00:27:44With that small electromagnet coming up towards us,
00:27:51I transfer the isotope which is being processed
00:27:54into this second canister.
00:28:01Now we're ready to lower the first canister.
00:28:15After it's been enriched, say, 20%,
00:28:17I transfer it to the next tube and continue the process.
00:28:20Wasn't there any danger that something could go wrong?
00:28:23Yes, if I accidentally loaded
00:28:25two highly charged pieces into the same tube.
00:28:28Well, then I'd have an uncontrolled chain reaction.
00:28:30After all, that's the atom bomb.
00:28:32I have to check this every 12 hours,
00:28:34because everything in that pile is constantly getting richer.
00:28:37You're on a sort of 12-hour shift.
00:28:39Yes, that's right.
00:28:40Look through that again.
00:28:46Now, you see that second canister?
00:28:49Yes.
00:28:50If for any reason it were to be lowered
00:28:52into the container beneath it...
00:28:53Then it's a big blow-up.
00:28:55Yes.
00:28:56Except for that panel.
00:28:57That tells me if the reaction is too fast or too slow.
00:29:03What's in there?
00:29:04Oh, that's my storeroom
00:29:05where I keep chemicals for my research.
00:29:07Some of them are dangerous, so I keep it locked.
00:29:12Oh, radar.
00:29:14Yes, a powerful acquisition radar.
00:29:17It warns me if a ship or a plane
00:29:19comes within 200 miles of my island.
00:29:21It's my burglar alarm.
00:29:24Burglar alarm.
00:29:26What if a ship did approach?
00:29:30I'd destroy it.
00:29:32Why didn't you destroy us?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:37I think I do.
00:29:38It's because you were telling the truth
00:29:40when you said you hated violence.
00:29:42Yes, I do hate it.
00:29:45But if he has to,
00:29:47I guess every man will kill to protect what he loves.
00:29:52Excuse me.
00:30:17Are you saying that if Joe and I tried to leave this island,
00:30:19you'd try to kill us?
00:30:20Yes, Mr. Bradley.
00:30:22I would.
00:30:24I would.
00:30:41Well, you heard what your father said.
00:30:43Yes.
00:30:44Then we've got to get away from here.
00:30:46Will you help us?
00:30:47We'll have to build a raft.
00:30:49We'll need tools and a safe place to work.
00:30:51All right.
00:30:52We'll bring them tonight.
00:30:53There's a cove where you can work
00:30:54without father knowing about it.
00:30:56We'll show you.
00:30:59He mustn't tell your Reina.
00:31:01There.
00:31:02I think that'll be enough.
00:31:05What's the matter?
00:31:07You all look as if you'd lost your best friend.
00:31:09We thought we'd lost you.
00:31:11Come on, we'll all help with the dinner.
00:31:20Hey, you're supposed to relax after dinner.
00:31:23And I still don't get it.
00:31:24What are we building this for?
00:31:25We've got to make loose, Jan.
00:31:26I think we've decided to stay.
00:31:33Here.
00:31:34Are these all right?
00:31:35These will work out fine.
00:31:36Thanks.
00:31:37Father's gone to bed.
00:31:38How about your Reina?
00:31:39She's asleep, too.
00:31:40Good.
00:31:41Where's that cove you mentioned?
00:31:42Come on, we'll show you.
00:31:44What do you think?
00:31:45Enough wood here?
00:31:46Could be.
00:31:47That raft will have to be plenty big, though.
00:31:49You can work here without being heard.
00:31:51Good.
00:31:55Father never comes to this side of the island.
00:31:59When you leave, take me with you.
00:32:01You're very sweet.
00:32:02But this is going to be rugged enough.
00:32:04Those weights are going to be heavy enough
00:32:06to carry you on your own.
00:32:08I'm not going to let you down.
00:32:10But this is going to be rugged enough.
00:32:12Those waves are as big as a house out there, aren't they?
00:32:14I wouldn't be afraid.
00:32:16I wouldn't be in the way that I can cook
00:32:18and I can swim like a fish.
00:32:20Tell you what, when we reach the mainland,
00:32:22I'll make arrangements to come back here for you.
00:32:24All of you.
00:32:25How's that?
00:32:27I don't want you to go, but I know you have to.
00:32:29Yes, we have to.
00:32:31But we will be back.
00:32:32Promise?
00:32:34I promise.
00:32:36Come on, Joe, let's get started.
00:32:41Oh, man, I'm bushed.
00:32:43That axe weighs more than I do.
00:32:46Well, it's four down, one and a half strip for you.
00:32:49It's not bad.
00:32:51How do you feel, Muscles?
00:32:53Numb.
00:32:54I'm asleep.
00:32:55Remind me to close my eyes.
00:32:57Louisianne may check up on us,
00:32:59so we're sleeping where we did last.
00:33:11What are you doing here?
00:33:13I thought you might be lonesome.
00:33:15Venus and Mercurio were here.
00:33:17I was awake when they came back.
00:33:19They just stopped by to ask us if we needed anything.
00:33:21Really?
00:33:22Well, they're both asleep now,
00:33:24so no one knows I'm out.
00:33:25Aren't you glad to see me?
00:33:27Oh, of course I am.
00:33:29But growing up, I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
00:33:31Well, I'm glad to see you, too.
00:33:33Well, I'm glad to see you, too.
00:33:35Well, I'm glad to see you, too.
00:33:37Well, I'm glad to see you.
00:33:39But growing girls need their sleep.
00:33:41Tell you what I'll do.
00:33:42I'll walk you back to the shelter, okay?
00:33:44I'm not a growing girl. I'm grown.
00:33:46Well, you'd know it, too,
00:33:48if you ever took your eyes off Venus.
00:33:50Come on.
00:33:52You'll be nice to me?
00:33:53It's a deal.
00:33:54All right.
00:33:59I had to see you alone
00:34:00because I have something to tell you about us.
00:34:02Us?
00:34:03Just because I've lived on this island all my life,
00:34:05please don't think I don't know anything.
00:34:07I read all the books almost in Father's library.
00:34:09All the books about men and women and love.
00:34:12I'm not as innocent as you think I am.
00:34:15When I first saw you, it did something to me.
00:34:18I analyzed my feelings.
00:34:20The books are full of just the things that happen to me.
00:34:22They happen to every girl when she first falls in love.
00:34:24The thrill of being near you, with you.
00:34:27When I saw you, I felt it for the first time.
00:34:30It was wonderful.
00:34:32You learned all that out of a book?
00:34:34Don't make fun of me.
00:34:36This is serious, really it is.
00:34:38I felt a longing to touch you, to hold you.
00:34:42I still do.
00:34:44You think you're in love with me?
00:34:46I know I am.
00:34:47I have all the symptoms.
00:34:49Do you feel love towards me?
00:34:52I'm very fond of you, Urana.
00:34:54But I'm also fond of Vicaria, Venus.
00:34:57Fond, huh?
00:34:58Venus.
00:35:00I've seen the way you look at her.
00:35:02You didn't talk to her like this tonight, did you?
00:35:05I've never mentioned love to Venus.
00:35:06And she's never mentioned it to me.
00:35:08We haven't known each other long enough.
00:35:11Love is...
00:35:12Well, it's being with someone you...
00:35:14You just can't get along without.
00:35:16That's just the way I feel about you.
00:35:19It was love at first sight.
00:35:21That is out of a book, believe me.
00:35:23No, it isn't.
00:35:24It's out of my heart and it won't ever change.
00:35:25Never.
00:35:26Look, you go on inside and get some sleep.
00:35:28And I'll see you tomorrow morning.
00:35:36Good morning.
00:35:38Well, good morning.
00:35:39You're up early.
00:35:40We always are.
00:35:42Come over here and lie down.
00:35:44Lie down?
00:35:46Come along.
00:35:49Good morning.
00:35:51Well, good morning.
00:35:52You're up early.
00:35:53We always are.
00:35:55Come over here and lie down.
00:35:57Lie down?
00:35:59Come along.
00:36:06Lie down here on your stomach.
00:36:19You're going to like this.
00:36:21Oh, I like it already.
00:36:23Only I thought your father was...
00:36:25Oh, father always has us do this after he's done any hard work.
00:36:28Like chopping down trees.
00:36:30Oh, man.
00:36:32I'm never going to leave this island.
00:36:34Told you you'd like it, Joseph.
00:36:38Joseph.
00:36:40That's funny.
00:36:41Why?
00:36:42That's your name, isn't it?
00:36:44Well, yes, but nobody ever called me Joseph except mother.
00:36:48Well?
00:36:50Hey, don't stop.
00:36:55You must have been a handsome little boy.
00:36:58Just goes to show what can happen.
00:37:03I don't know.
00:37:05Let's see.
00:37:14I don't think so much has happened.
00:37:17Oh, I tell you definitely.
00:37:19I'm not leaving.
00:37:22I wish...
00:37:24You wish what?
00:37:28I wish you didn't have to go.
00:37:30No!
00:37:34Well, good morning.
00:37:36All the comforts of home.
00:37:38Best looking masseuse in the business.
00:37:40Are you sure we have to leave here?
00:37:42I'm sure, and so are you.
00:37:44Well, I'd better go. Father would worry about me.
00:37:46May I borrow that, Mercuria?
00:37:48Of course.
00:37:50Goodbye, Joseph.
00:37:52Goodbye, Mercuria.
00:37:58You know, the more I think about staying...
00:38:00You listen to me, Joseph.
00:38:02Don't you get any ideas or you'll be seriously dead.
00:38:04You heard what Lujan said.
00:38:06I suppose, but...
00:38:09There's a pretty wonderful gal.
00:38:11I mean...
00:38:12I know, I know, I know what you mean.
00:38:14Forget it.
00:38:15Carry on, good boy.
00:38:19Right there.
00:38:42Mr. Bradley?
00:38:44Mr. Bradley?
00:38:47Would you and Mr. Warhol-Cadd join us for breakfast?
00:38:50Would we? We'll be right there.
00:38:53You can't hear me. Come on, buddy.
00:38:59Step over here, please.
00:39:04The plane.
00:39:05Searching for you, I'm sure.
00:39:08About 100 miles away.
00:39:10Approaching at...
00:39:12250 miles an hour.
00:39:14Father, I think...
00:39:15Mercuria, please.
00:39:16You both stay here.
00:39:17Help yourselves to breakfast.
00:39:19That isn't the real reason you got us up here.
00:39:21No, as a matter of fact, it isn't.
00:39:23That was a pretty low trick.
00:39:25Suppose that plane does land.
00:39:28I'll destroy it.
00:39:31There's not a sign of an oil slick or a die marker in this ocean.
00:39:41All island off the port.
00:39:43Might as well have a look.
00:39:44Right.
00:39:50What the devil's causing that?
00:39:52I don't know.
00:39:53I don't know.
00:39:54I don't know.
00:39:55I don't know.
00:39:56I don't know.
00:39:57I don't know.
00:39:58I don't know.
00:39:59What the devil's causing that?
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:03Anything at all down there?
00:40:05No, there's not a sign of life.
00:40:07Let's get out of here.
00:40:14Well, they've gone.
00:40:15That's good.
00:40:17Now this island will be marked as uninhabited.
00:40:20They'll never look for you again.
00:40:21And we'll be listed as dead.
00:40:24Come on, Joe.
00:40:25The show is over.
00:40:29Let's go.
00:40:40We'd better get busy with...
00:40:41Yeah, I guess so.
00:40:50I'll be right with you, Mark.
00:40:52Never mind.
00:40:53I want to think this out.
00:40:57He didn't want you with him.
00:40:58Will you please mind your own business?
00:40:59Urena!
00:41:01Go tidy up your room.
00:41:07Would you like to be alone, too?
00:41:09No, that's where we're different.
00:41:10When I'm all fouled up,
00:41:11I want someone to bounce my meaner self on.
00:41:13Want to volunteer?
00:41:15If you'd like me to.
00:41:16I sure would.
00:41:18Coming with us?
00:41:19No, thank you.
00:41:29Is there anything I can do?
00:41:31No, there's nothing anyone can do.
00:41:33When that plane took off,
00:41:34it was a good night all.
00:41:36Do you want me to leave?
00:41:38No, no.
00:41:41Would it help if I...
00:41:44No, I guess it wouldn't.
00:41:46Would what help?
00:41:50I don't know.
00:41:52I don't know.
00:41:54I don't know.
00:41:55I don't know.
00:42:04No, you're wrong.
00:42:05It did help.
00:42:07You know, you're pretty wonderful.
00:42:09You're unspoiled and you're trusting.
00:42:11I just want to help you, that's all.
00:42:13I can't bear to see you troubled and discouraged.
00:42:16I'd do anything.
00:42:18No, you just stay the way you are.
00:42:19That's all you have to do.
00:42:21Don't ever change.
00:42:22Everything changes.
00:42:23And everyone.
00:42:25That's one of the truest things
00:42:26that Father taught us.
00:42:28You see it here every day.
00:42:31Things grow up.
00:42:32They get old.
00:42:33They die.
00:42:35Oh, not really.
00:42:37New things are born to take their place.
00:42:39The memory of what is good and beautiful
00:42:40never dies.
00:42:42But to have memories,
00:42:44there has to be something to remember.
00:42:46That's true.
00:42:48If we were together somewhere else,
00:42:50back in the States,
00:42:51then...
00:42:52Then what?
00:42:54Perhaps then I could...
00:42:57We're not somewhere else.
00:42:59We're here.
00:43:00And I've got a job to do.
00:43:02You still want to be alone, don't you?
00:43:05Well, I...
00:43:07All right.
00:43:09I'll go swimming for a while.
00:43:21I'll be back.
00:43:51I'll be back.
00:44:21Come back, Venus! Come back!
00:44:25Venus, there's a shark out there!
00:44:27Come back!
00:44:51Come back!
00:45:22Come on, get back to shore!
00:45:24Come on, get back there!
00:45:51THE END
00:46:21© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:46:52Are you all right?
00:46:54Are you?
00:46:56I think so.
00:46:58Two arms, two legs.
00:47:00That's what I went in with.
00:47:02I don't want to remember what happened out there.
00:47:05I just want to remember you.
00:47:07Close to me.
00:47:22Mark, I've made up my mind. I'm going with you.
00:47:35Listen to me.
00:47:37I can't take you with us.
00:47:39There are a million reasons why, but I...
00:47:41I just can't take you.
00:47:52Oh, I'm really going to miss you, Joseph.
00:47:55I'm going to miss you.
00:47:57What will you do when you get back home?
00:48:00All the usual things.
00:48:02Then, someday soon, I guess, I'll look for a wife.
00:48:05A house full of kids.
00:48:08I never thought about such things before.
00:48:11A husband, I mean.
00:48:15Father always taught us not to worry about those things.
00:48:17Your father is a smart man, but he's wrong about that.
00:48:20Women should have children.
00:48:22And a home.
00:48:24That's right, Joseph.
00:48:26If only you could take me with you.
00:48:28But I can't.
00:48:30Mark and I can handle that raft.
00:48:32But if I had you to worry about, I...
00:48:34Would you worry?
00:48:36Would you really?
00:48:39You know something?
00:48:41I've seen a lot of girls all over the world.
00:48:43But I've never seen a man like you.
00:48:45I've seen a lot of girls all over the world.
00:48:47But I've never seen a man like you.
00:49:08Didn't anyone ever teach you to knock?
00:49:11Sorry, but the door was open.
00:49:12What happened? Venus put you in the drink?
00:49:14No, we had a little argument with a shark.
00:49:16You're okay, aren't you?
00:49:18Yeah, we were lucky.
00:49:20Venus is all right, too. She's back in the shelter.
00:49:22I'd better go to her.
00:49:26Okay, so I'm a heel.
00:49:28But I want to explain something.
00:49:30She kissed me and I didn't fight it.
00:49:32I've never met girls with such a fanatical urge for kissing.
00:49:36With you, too?
00:49:38You know, the way things are going around here biologically,
00:49:40we'd better get that raft finished soon.
00:49:47We're going to have to lace these logs tighter
00:49:49if we expect it to hold together.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:53Mr. Bradley.
00:49:57Mr. Bradley.
00:49:59You'd better stop all this nonsense.
00:50:01Uranus told me that you planned to leave the island
00:50:03and take Venus with you.
00:50:05That's not true.
00:50:07She probably heard Venus say she was going with us.
00:50:08But I told her I wouldn't take her under any circumstances.
00:50:11Indeed.
00:50:13And don't think I didn't guess you'd try something like this.
00:50:15I even toyed with the idea of letting you go.
00:50:17You'd have drowned before you'd been out a day.
00:50:20I still believe that you plan to take my daughter with you.
00:50:23You listen to me.
00:50:25We're going to finish that raft.
00:50:27We're going to leave on it.
00:50:29Just Joe and I.
00:50:31Mark is telling the truth, Father.
00:50:33He won't let me go with him.
00:50:35Go back to the shelter.
00:50:36Both of you.
00:50:38We're going to stay with him until they leave.
00:50:40You're coming with me.
00:50:42No, Father.
00:50:51Do you really have to tell people Father's here?
00:50:54Yes, I have to.
00:50:56Don't you understand that?
00:50:58All I understand is I don't want you to go.
00:51:07Hey, tie it up there.
00:51:14Let's get that rudder rigged
00:51:16and we can bring the gear aboard and secure it.
00:51:18We've been at this for five solid hours.
00:51:20You act like there's no tomorrow.
00:51:22Let's quit for a while, huh?
00:51:24But we're not tired.
00:51:26I'm not as healthy as you girls.
00:51:28How about it?
00:51:30Okay.
00:51:32Let's finish in the morning.
00:51:34Come on, before he changes his mind.
00:51:37How about some sleep?
00:51:39Why don't you and Mercurio stretch out over there
00:51:41and when we can't stay awake any longer,
00:51:43we'll wake you and you can keep watch.
00:51:45You're the most helpful man I know.
00:51:51Come on, honey.
00:52:07Oh.
00:52:14Why are you smiling?
00:52:16I was just wondering what your father's thinking.
00:52:26Please go to bed, Father.
00:52:28You must get some rest.
00:52:30I will, I will.
00:52:32Look, you can't do anything as long as Venus
00:52:34and Mercurio stay there with them.
00:52:36Father, I did hear Venus say she was going,
00:52:38but I think Mark was telling the truth.
00:52:41He must have told her that he wouldn't take her
00:52:43after I left.
00:52:45See?
00:52:47But the men are desperate enough
00:52:49to try it on that raft anyhow.
00:52:51It's just possible they might be picked up.
00:52:53Then the world will find out what I am.
00:52:58Is the world really as awful as you've said it is?
00:53:01Yes.
00:53:03It's like some horrible great snowball.
00:53:04Rolling faster and faster toward extinction.
00:53:10Go to bed, dear.
00:53:12All right.
00:53:17I won't sleep a wink until I know you've gone to bed.
00:53:20Why don't you wait till morning to figure things out?
00:53:23You'll think a lot better when you've had some rest.
00:53:25In a little while.
00:53:35Good night, Father.
00:53:37Good night, dear.
00:54:05When we fly back for you, it'll be California.
00:54:07Here we come.
00:54:09I'll show you all the sights.
00:54:11The desert.
00:54:13We'll go to Florida, New Orleans.
00:54:15Oh, food like you've never tasted before.
00:54:18Go to San Francisco.
00:54:20Have you ever read about San Fran...
00:54:23San Francisco?
00:54:25San Francisco.
00:54:27San Francisco.
00:54:29San Francisco.
00:54:31San Francisco.
00:54:32San Fran...
00:55:02San Francisco.
00:55:21All right, now can I ask you what this is all about?
00:55:23Now pick up that microphone and speak to Mr. Bradley.
00:55:26Go on.
00:55:29Tell him that I'll release you
00:55:30as soon as my daughters are back here alone without him.
00:55:35Hey, Mark.
00:55:37Mark, wake up.
00:55:39I think I followed things up.
00:55:41I'm in the laboratory at the cellar
00:55:43staring at that ugly-looking flamethrower.
00:55:45Dr. Lujan says he'll let me go
00:55:47as soon as the girls show up here without you.
00:55:49Do whatever you think is best.
00:55:51That is all.
00:55:53That is not all.
00:55:55Let me make this very clear.
00:55:57Unless my daughters are back here alone
00:55:58in 20 minutes,
00:56:00you'll be responsible for what happens to Mr. Walker.
00:56:03I can't believe Father would really hurt Joe.
00:56:06What shall we do?
00:56:08I don't know.
00:56:10Joe is likely to make a grab for that flamethrower,
00:56:12then anything can happen.
00:56:14You both better go back.
00:56:16That's all we can do.
00:56:21Now, go on.
00:56:28Will you get rid of that popcorn? It makes me nervous.
00:56:30Go in there.
00:56:32Okay, open the door.
00:56:35Leave the key in the lock.
00:56:37Close the door from the inside.
00:56:58Come on.
00:57:28Come on.
00:57:59You'd better stop here. It's not much further.
00:58:01All right, but hurry.
00:58:03Tell Joe I'll wait for him right here.
00:58:16What are you doing?
00:58:18Put that back.
00:58:20I was afraid you'd use it.
00:58:22Do what you're told.
00:58:24Please, Father.
00:58:26Let go of me.
00:58:28Let me go!
00:58:38Venus!
00:58:40Victoria!
00:58:42Venus!
00:58:44Victoria!

00:59:22Alright, alright.
00:59:23I'll get you out in a moment.
00:59:24I can't get this key.
