 My wife and I why Johnny you're going to pump your own water and plow and get blisters on your hand I Don't mind blisters Jane Do you think sure? very sure You can have a human name not a name with a number. I'm Bob Bob Thomas All right Bob What do we do now I've got your escape from the city all planned because that's what's that? Who's there a mind? Police electronic man. So go back mind police Use the visual signal. Let me see you all electronic Disrupted here open for inspection Device Carpene dip a coffee. Oh, that's just anonymous remove it sure. So take it down. What about much a human being Johnny? Don't look there's a bribe Take off your thin mask and voice back to Ralph Ralph's one of the best our top spy in next city Bob we've got to work fast before the electronics man get back Bob Simple bad. I think Morton's experiments for the master mechanical brain are succeeding. What experiments? For years Morton's been working to produce electronic men that can make other electronic man But why why because the master mechanical brain can control electronic men? Absolutely humans rebel like you two if you had children a little rebel Zedby the master mechanical brain has denied marriage permits to everybody Except readjusted humans who might just as well be machine. No marriages. No human children Electronic men that can reproduce their kind and bingo Complete machine civilization with a master as ruler and once the experiments are a definite success The master will liquidate the human. Oh, no. Oh come just I've read it such things that but centuries ago Bob Let's get them out of there. All right. That's what the electronic man are back. Take us now They'll readjust it for us. Oh, what do we do? Help me get the metal head mask on and the voice box to There's on Johnny, I'm sorry Bob. You said you had an escape. I have the first Ralph. This is for you Oh, Bob, you stuck your friend. It was a trap. They're both out of commission Jane Yeah, you all right. Come on head for the emergency shoot They were used as bombshellers flying with less the protection against you found penetration Now even the master's electronic standard can't find it Let's get moving. Yeah I never thought he would do that. He didn't So the electronic men would hear and go on believing he was one of them Knocked out by those vicious renegades. That's right. We're ready now Why bother the food electronic names? Why didn't Ralph just come with us? He's neither the next city Ralph right and you really think if more can get the electronic men that can produce others you you'll kill off all the humans But the few that Morton will spare for his own aid and desires Logical thing cynical brain is supremely logical We'll have subjects that it's absolute command Electronic men back only on impulse as the master sends out a lack of machine-like logic Won't fall in love. I got disrupt any of Morton's plans for a perfect machine Does it this tunnel ever end? Give it nothing time. That's all right. I just unducked too quick kind of party. You don't see them under McFitties Don't record an ancient joke Johnny. That's fresh air. I like it. How do you make it Johnny? This is real air fresh air as nature made it and this is real grass not synthetic and those noises like a corn Cricket frog Like bird Matter of fact, it's a very old Yes, look into these capes. Oh There they're cold. Yeah, they're let mesh Masters scanners can't pick them up and trace it have a blast ray cut us down Johnny. I'm scared Don't turn back. They can say I kidnaped you go back to make city No Where Johnny Garza you sure? And follow me We're only about ten minutes walk to the caves where I have a jet car will take my farm Well in an hour, you'll be asleep in a feather bed a real feather bed. They like pumping water like I got my first blister This is wonderful. I just can't get over there. That's the realness of things Your wife served me some milk real milk this one She's a remarkable woman Bob sir. She tells me taking it as a stranger Making it this home. This is a pioneer woman new century style Jane up yet? I've been helping Martha cook. Just imagine Johnny. She actually cooks biscuits and And if those men want to eat what I cook Tell them come and get it and tell that young man of yours to bring that water in if he's gonna wash up How do you like that? I get my hands dirty pumping water just so I can wash in the water. I pop We're coming Martha that was a meal My dear old wonder we raise all our own food real food Johnny not since then I raise that bacon from a show The old saw through Bob's a great hand for the animals. He better be with six miles to be Well, it's less than four kids three boys and a girl Believe me four growing kids can eat. Well, where are they away? Martha always sends them away when I go to McCity. She's got a notion those tips are dangerous. They are The master mechanical brain and Morton don't like you snatching their humans Someday non sense way it isn't nonsense, but you took a big chance for it Yes, but why why risk all this happiness just for people like us people? You don't even know because he feels you're worth it I think you are too and I'm for Bob and all the people he can help But I'm still afraid so you send the kids to safety and let him go and wait for him to come back Even though I'm glad you got us out Bob you you have at the right to take those chances Once the master mechanical brain has absolute control. You don't think we'll be safe. Do you? As one great American said centuries ago This union cannot long endure half slave and half free And that's still true Even if that slavery is benevolent Yes the master is It gave us everything Except happiness, uh You really think it will come after you As soon as that's slimy excuse for a human being Morton perfects the electronic men who can produce other men The master robots will be after us like a shot That reminds me it's about time for Morton's morning telebox. We don't get the visual part out here, but we can hear Morton We'll see if there's any mention of your Excessive and in this brutal fight a band of renegades match to humans However, the master mechanical brain offers all renegades the opportunity to enjoy the peace and happiness of mech city notice to all renegades all Crimes against mech city will be forgiven if you surrender now for readjustment If not the master mechanical brain will be forced to make readjustment at a distance Morton never dared to make a threat like that before shut it off I can't stand that cold inhuman. Well, let's hear what he has to say. No Kenny do anything who knows what that man can plan with a master mechanical brain He's got weapons events with you mean Bob someone's coming Ralph Bob get to the cave quick. Why are you here? Had to get away Morton suspect ordered tests all electronic men, but that's not the worst Bob The master mechanical brain is turning destroyer waves on all of any forms it's a locate This visit like everybody's in a bomb cave. What do you lead the way? I'll save what I can don't take a chance Bob We started with nothing and we can start again, but not without you. Well, can I get to the cave? Morton's success with the electronic men as a cause Bob He's so sure I'd help in humans in next city Ralph. We got to go down more Oh, no, Bob, please here back behind those bushes There's a cave in back of him in here Yeah, he was let line if you go back Bob. I'm going with you Destroyer wave Like that mechanical devil I'll take the master apart two by two both by both Kids I love we're going back Ralph. Sure. I'm going Johnny You mean you're going to try to destroy the master mechanical brain That's right. The time has come we can't wait any longer good Bob Even if you succeed even if you're not killed first you'll paralyze next city no food no water nowhere How will they live unless we destroy the masters? They won't live at all for the rest Men live once before without machines. They can do it again. Well Johnny to 12 No number anymore. I'm coming. I'm going to with Johnny. No you stay with Martha Martha has something to say for children. I've only got you John. No, no, you stay with a curve with your Johnny. I know what we need to get a hurry Bob. If you don't come back I'll come back with a master mechanical brain in broken pieces. Oh, of course you will I'll tell the other let's go Bob Martha I'll be back What's getting orders from the next we've got to stop. Let's go To get the master. He thought them forever of humans machine with emotion. Yes It destroys humans because they are human machines have been the servants of delicate wire You're dead. You're dead. The Jimmy. Yeah All make cities power and functions were centered in the master mechanical brain Everything will stop now Electronic men the killings and the automatic security James James Hold on to my arm that Depends on how you look at a chain for humans For people It's all just starting again Make city destroy the whole civilization rule and broke. Oh, no, Johnny. No, the two things aren't the same It's true that make city is destroyed Civilization is something more than machines and apparatus That's something I learned when I joined the Rennies Civilizations aren't built on dreams and made secure not by efficiency, but by dedication Johnny Jane you And all the others were alive today We'll soon learn that the pursuit of happiness the desire to be with those you love To think and act in freedom as men That's the true meaning of civilization That's what makes us human beings In the image of God next week another exciting drama on 2000 plus when the world met You've heard about the men from Mars ever wondered what they'll look like ever thought what would happen if the Martians came Well, listen next week and you'll find out 2000 plus is produced by Sherman 8 driver and Robert Reynolds in today's story Ken Williams played Johnny Charlotte Manson played Jane Joseph Julian was Bob Hester Sander guard with Martin I know Robertson was Morton and Sanford Pickert was rough The officer was conducted by Emerson Buckway music composed by Elliott Jatowi Script by Donald Stapleton down by wall shaper and now late engineer Bob Albright.
