:49:02
Not even a window.
:49:05
The robot lied.
Morbius hasn't been in here.
:49:08
Doc, he's up to something.
:49:10
Look at this, Skipper.
:49:15
- Hieroglyphics?
- Maybe.
:49:18
But it doesn't look like
Egyptian or cuneiform...
:49:21
or Chinese.
:49:26
You'll find the household silver
in the dining room...
:49:29
and my daughter's jewelry
on her dressing table.
:49:33
Dr. Morbius...
:49:36
last night our Klystron monitor
was sabotaged.
:49:40
And you suspect me?
:49:43
Then the time has come
for clarification.
:49:46
Sit down.

In times long past...
:50:01
this planet was the home of
a mighty and noble race of beings...
:50:05
which called themselves the Krell.
:50:07

:50:14
for in unlocking
the mysteries of nature...
:50:16

:50:23
and insanity and crime
and all injustice...
:50:26
they turned,
still with high benevolence...
:50:28
outward toward space.
:50:31
Long before the dawn of man's history,
they had walked our Earth...
:50:34
and brought back
many biological specimens.
:50:37
I see. That explains
the tiger and the deer.
:50:42
The heights they had reached...
:50:44
but then, seemingly on the threshold
of some supreme accomplishment...
:50:49
which was to have crowned
their entire history...
:50:52
this all but divine race
perished in a single night.
:50:58
In the 2,000 centuries
since that unexplained catastrophe...
