The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 3, Episode 7 - The Camp - full transcript
For 12 generations, humans have been held in a prison camp working in an antiquated fuel processing plant. They're surviving but not much more. Rations are continually being cut and the camp commander doesn't hesitate to execute anyone who steps out of line. Prisoner No. 98843 keeps many of the plant's electronic system in working order. She begins to speak out demanding better food and medical care. The commandant agrees on the condition that she not reveal their greatest secret - they are androids and in need of repair. Eventually, the prisoners gain control and are now free to go beyond the prison walls. But just what will they find on the other side?
Tonight we are gathered
to remember who we are,
To honor the time
before the new masters,
To remember the people,
We remember,
12 generations ago,
the people held dominion
over this earth,
Not masters from another world,
but our forefathers,
And we remember them,
We remember,
The new masters
came in great machines
from the sky,
They made war
against the people,
built work camps underground
to feed their war machine,
In defeat, there were men
Who betrayed the people,
They were given dominion over us
the last survivors of man,
And we remember their betrayal,
We remember,
We remember
so that the children will know
that their birthright
lies not within the walls
of this camp, but beyond...
Back hurry!
There has been
an unauthorized
gathering here,
Who instigated this?
I am responsible,
As elder,
i asked for this gathering,
Come with us,
I will speak
with the commandant,
Let me at least say goodbye
to my people!
Don't take him!
You can't do this!
Someone help him, please!
The day will come, remember,
You will be free!
No!
There is nothing wrong
with your television,
Do not attempt
to adjust the picture,
We are now controlling
the transmission,
We control the horizontal
and the vertical,
We can deluge you
with a thousand channels
or expand one single image
to crystal clarity
and beyond,
We can shape your vision
to anything our imagination
can conceive,
For the next hour,
we will control
all that you see and hear,
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery
which reaches from
the deepest inner mind
to The Outer Limits,
Line up for inspection, 2 rows!
Our history is filled
with grim reminders
of our inhumanity,
Armies are crushed,
populations ravaged,
enemies imprisoned,
behind walls of stone,
Step up, step up,
But the human spirit
is not so easily confined,
Let's go, come on,
Report,
All prisoners present
and accounted for, sir!
There are 3 announcements
this morning,
First,
the nutritional ration
will be cut
by a further 3%,
This will be effective
immediately,
The children need
their ration,
Who spoke?
The children
are still growing, commandant,
They need their full ration,
I know it is the duty
of the elder
to speak with you directly,
but it seems
you have taken him from us,
I cannot create food
that does not exist,
If we were allowed
to harvest our own crops...
Next!
Repairs to the refining center
will continue,
Next,
Because prisoner 86432
was your elder,
i will allow one hour
for mourning,
I suggest you also use this time
to choose a new elder
to speak on your behalf,
That is all,
Commandant!
Yes?
With respect,
we already sacrifice too much
of our daily ration
so the children may have enough,
Please,
We ask that you bring food in
from the outside,
The request for new provisions
has already been made,
It may take time to process,
You are dismissed,
Excuse me,
Over here,
And i'm telling you
the storeroom is almost
completely empty,
and i can't be expected
to keep this line working
if i am doing nothing more
than cannibalizing one machine
to build another,
There's a surplus of fuel,
Yes! For the moment
there is,
But the moment
the new masters
want more fuel,
the commandant
will want the line
running again, won't he?
And what do you think
will happen then?
There you are,
Did you get to everybody?
Lesson first, and then
we'll have a drink, too, ok?
There,
Now,
this is a standard isopanel,
Show me where a red chip goes,
That's right,
Always between isotrons,
unless there's what?
In parallel?
Very, very good,
You're learning faster
than i did,
Now,
I've almost got this unit up
and running again,
but I could really
use some help,
All right, You're hired,
Our elder was a good man,
He spoke well for the people,
And he believed
that one day
we would all be free,
And so we will remember him,
We'll remember,
Prisoner 98843?
Yes?
The commandant
wishes to speak with you,
We were given an hour
for mourning,
I will speak with him
when we finish,
I said, when we finish!
We were given permission!
What do you think he wants?
She's a beautiful woman,
What do you think?
98843,
i need you,
I wish that i did not,
What happens here
between us
must remain a secret,
If you divulge any part of it,
i will order
the immediate execution
of your child,
Is that clear?
No,
You misunderstand,
I lost my eye
in an uprising
several years ago,
The men responsible
were sent to the sharrak,
The new masters
sent me this biomechanical
replacement,
As you can see,
it is an imperfect match,
The eye no longer functions,
Repair it,
If you increase
the children's ration,
You're bargaining,
The children are weaker
than we are,
They need proper nourishment,
or they will starve
during the winter,
Very well, If you're successful,
If not,
their rations will be reduced,
to nil,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7...
Enough!
A fit worker
is a more efficient worker,
but if you fail to exercise
with greater enthusiasm,
i may be forced to reconsider
your time above ground,
There are 2 announcements,
First,
repairs to the refining center
are underway,
There has been
significant progress
in the repairs,
and fuel production
should resume shortly,
Next,
Have you chosen a new elder?
Yes, commandant!
Prisoner 91777,
the people have chosen you?
They have,
Does anyone contest this?
Very well,
In this assembly,
you and only you
will be permitted
to speak directly with me
on behalf of the people
of this camp,
Is that understood?
Yes, commandant,
Immediately after
this assembly,
you and prisoner 98843,
will accompany me to my office
to receive
supplementary rations,
That is all,
What kind of arrangement
did you make
with the commandant
for that food?
I asked for it,
You heard me,
Your daily ration
will be supplemented
with sharrak,
Sharrak means "death",
It can mean that,
It's also the food reserved
for the new masters
when they visit the camp,
Though not born of this world,
it should prove
to be digestible,
This way,
Stand there,
Why?
A machete?
What would you
have me do with this?
You'll know when the time comes,
Commandant, please,
Tell me what i...
If you react
more quickly next time,
you should be able
to cut closer to the body,
You may distribute the flesh
any way you wish,
Cook it well,
There may be parasites,
Won't the new masters object?
There'll be no objections,
This sharrak has grown
too fat for its pool,
It's been overfed for years,
Here, Take it,
It will give you strength,
The new masters will be angry,
The commandant assured me
there would no objections,
Take it,
It's only right,
It's taken from so many of us,
Has anyone else noticed
there are fewer overseers
during role call?
We could take the opportunity...
Please don't,
2 generations ago,
during the great uprising,
men went over the wall,
And those
that stayed behind
were slaughtered,
Sacrificed,
So that others could be free,
I would do the same,
The new masters
have taken the world
and made it their own,
They destroyed
the combined armies
of mankind in days,
How long do you think
a handful of people
would be free?
Look at this,
I wore it
under my clothes
this morning
during role call
to see if they would notice,
They didn't,
I know i could climb it,
Without the fuel
we produce for their machines,
we're useless to them,
Before my father became elder,
i am elder now,
... He taught us
that the work is the reason
they keep us alive,
As slaves,
Yes, But it is life,
My father watched
his own elders die
in the last uprising
because they couldn't
see that,
I won't watch
the same thing happen
to all of you,
I say at least one or 2 men
can get over the wall,
If the others
will provide a distraction,
Now, who is with me?
I'm with you,
I'm with you,
Come on, lets go!
Hey,
Come on, she's sleeping,
No, she's not, Wait,
Come on,
No,
No! No!
You belong
to the commandant now,
is that it?
Please just go to sleep,
You're as bad as the overseers,
You're worse!
You bargain with your own body,
You make me sick!
Come on down and have a drink!
Thank you,
I had a dream
that i went over the wall last night,
I wanna know
what's over there,
One of the survivors
from the uprising
got a glimpse,
He told my father
that all he could see
was scorched earth, black steel,
and new masters everywhere,
He saw what
they really looked like?
3 times the size of a man,
4 arms,
razor teeth,
The next time I get a chance,
I'm gonna take a look,
Overseers report
to the commandant's office,
Emergency!
Bring her to me,
Where are you taking me?
What have i done?
Where are you taking her?
Tell me!
As elder, i demand to know
what she has done!
No!
No, she hasn't done anything!
She's innocent! Please!
She hasn't done anything!
No!
Leave the daughter,
I demand to speak
with the commandant!
Please, no! Not her!
Why have you done this?
I didn't do this on purpose!
I swear!
Take the girl to the sharrak,
No! No! No! No!
Take her, too,
I want her to learn from this,
No!
Commandant, i did my best!
What happened was an accident!
Please, don't hurt her!
It's not my fault!
It was a mistake!
Please,
This wouldn't have happened
if you told me
you were a machine,
Close your eyes, love,
If you're all machines,
i can repair you,
All of you!
I'm the only one who can!
You know that,
If you let this happen,
if you let her die,
i swear i will never
repair another machine
in this camp!
Not the line,
not you,
not anything, ever!
Do you hear me?
Are you skilled enough to repair
a sophisticated
human form robot
like myself?
Yes, Yes!
If you fail,
we will return here
and finish
what we have begun,
Yes,
And you will no longer
live among the people,
Yes,
You will begin work immediately,
You know what they did to her?
I just hope
they didn't hurt
the little girl,
I've grown rather fond of her,
He's gone over!
What?
He's gone, His rope is gone,
He went above ground
during the commotion,
went over the wall,
It can be done!
He's free!
Other prisoners
must have found out
your secret,
That you're machines,
I assume you just killed them,
Yes,
The new masters programmed you
because they're too important
to watch over us,
Yes,
I can match your eye color now,
Unless you think
that might call attention
to yourself,
Prisoners rarely look me
in the eye,
Why the illusion?
Why cover yourselves with
flesh?
It was thought
you would more readily
accept domination
from your own kind,
The dermal layer is organic,
It ages over time,
like real human skin,
It must be replaced,
With each
complete replacement,
we assume a new identity,
I don't understand,
Your people pass down stories
from generation to generation,
of the commandants
who came before me,
How many have there been?
11,
And every incarnation,
the same man,
You,
And the overseers,
though their numbers
are a fraction
of what they were,
Why?
Old age,
Like the machines
you've grown so expert
in maintaining,
we're starting to break down,
I don't know how to repair...
The dermal layer
is a simple matter,
The overseer
will take care of that,
This is acceptable,
Take the child back
to the others,
No, no,
Let her stay with me,
Please,
You agreed to my terms,
She knows your secret,
She cannot speak,
You agreed to my terms,
Let me at least
say goodbye to her,
Please,
Mama has to stay here
for a long time and work,
I'll still be able to teach you
and work alongside you,
I just won't be
staying with you anymore
in the barracks,
We're together,
Here,
All right?
With each other,
Always,
Take her,
Come,
We have a lot to discuss,
There are 2 announcements,
First, the ration
will be supplemented
by a further 500 calories
per person,
And time above ground
in the exercise yard
will be increased by 50 percent,
These changes
will become effective
immediately,
Commandant?
Yes?
Why have you ordered
these changes?
Prisoner 98843 has made it clear
that increased worker efficiency
will maximize
the camp's productivity,
Prisoner 98843
no longer exists to us,
I speak for the people,
We will not accept
this ration increase
until you speak to me as elder
and no one else,
As you wish,
Commandant,
let me speak to them,
You are dismissed,
Elder,
don't deny the children food
because of me,
Thank you, love,
Familiarize yourself
with our mechanisms,
Repair them, if possible,
If not, begin harvesting
useful parts,
There are several of us
in urgent need of repairs,
I'll show you,
Why haven't the new masters
sent replacements for you?
They're at war with a world
far from here,
That effort stretches
their resources,
You don't ever expect
to be relieved,
No, This camp
refines a low priority fuel
for ships which
have become obsolete,
So you're expendable,
Yes,
And so are the people,
Yes,
Take care not to activate
the power source, there,
Next time, i may not be here,
I need to get a tool
from the...
Overseer, are you listening?
What do you want?
If i am caught,
they will kill me,
You're not welcome here,
Please,
i just came to tell you,
the overseers aren't men,
They're men,
They're men
who betrayed their people,
just like you betrayed me,
They're machines,
I've seen them
beneath their skin,
Get away from me,
If i ever meant
anything to you...
I said get out!
Go back to sleep,
Forgive me,
I forgot you need
somewhere to sleep,
But i did remember
that you must eat,
Come,
You may sit,
I can have more brought
if you wish,
No, This is...
Don't you sleep?
I must remain still
for some hours
while i recharge
my main power supply,
During that time,
i run self diagnostics,
plan logistics,
Do you dream?
I have thoughts,
Have you been successful
in repairing
any of the overseers?
You and the overseers
have far exceeded
your designed life expectancy,
commandant,
I can only do so much,
How long?
Possibly months,
If you exert yourself
only when necessary,
You must be very tired,
I'll arrange a bed for you,
Commandant?
What will happen then
to my people?
When neither i nor the overseers
can effectively run the camp,
i will carry out procedure 7,
Discontinue operations,
You mean kill the people,
All of us,
Yes,
Then why continue?
If we have no future,
why not end it now?
If you were given the chance
to live one more day,
would you?
Yes,
And so would i,
Straighten up for inspection,
2 rows,
Are all prisoners
accounted for?
No, sir,
Prisoner 97543 is missing,
Commandant,
the young man is very sick,
All prisoners
are required to attend,
His sickness is very contagious,
We've isolated him
in the barrack,
Do you know the prisoner?
Is this true?
Yes, commandant,
He was showing signs of fever
the last time i saw him,
I believe the elder
is telling the truth,
Confirm it,
Yes, commandant,
An overseer will accompany you,
Stay here while i check on him,
You're burning up,
He's very sick, He should rest,
The prisoner is very sick,
He will probably die,
He should be left in peace,
He's already dead,
No prisoner
can go over the wall
and expect to survive,
Automated defenses stopped him
from ever reaching
the other side,
The world outside these walls
is the domain
of the new masters,
There is no escape from here,
Anyone aiding or abetting
such an attempt
will be punished,
No,
Feed her child to the sharrak,
No!
No! No!
Stop them!
Stop them!
I was trying to help you!
Stop them from doing this!
Send me in her place,
I'm the one
who betrayed you! please!
I beg you!
She's done nothing!
Get back to work,
I can repair you,
Please, if you spare her,
i swear, i can make you
live forever!
Forever,
Now do you see?
I told you, he's a machine!
They're all machines!
And they're going to kill us!
He told me so himself!
Execute procedure 7,
Execute procedure 7,
Fight them!
Fight!
Procedure 7,
Execute procedure 7,
Procedure 7...
Stay where you are!
Protect the children!
This way,
Die!
Children!
They're all dead,
They're all dead!
We did it!
Hey, what do we do now?
This is the day
our people have waited for,
They should have
slaughtered us,
What's happened to them?
They were machines,
Old machines,
They couldn't take the strain,
What do we do?
Repair me,
No,
Return to your barracks,
I order you,
There's nothing for us here,
Repair me!
We are the last of the people,
Whatever awaits us
on the other side
of that gate,
we can say that
for at least this moment,
we are free,
Do you wanna see
what's on the other side?
Open the gate,
Look at that,
Where are they?
Where are they?
Where?
They've gone,
For how long?
Almost a hundred years,
And you kept the camp
running all that time?
Why?
I was following my programming,
Of all the needs
which drive us,
hunger, thirst, desire,
perhaps the most powerful
is the simple need to be free.
to remember who we are,
To honor the time
before the new masters,
To remember the people,
We remember,
12 generations ago,
the people held dominion
over this earth,
Not masters from another world,
but our forefathers,
And we remember them,

the last survivors of man,
And we remember their betrayal,
We remember,
We remember
so that the children will know
that their birthright
lies not within the walls
of this camp, but beyond...

Come with us,
I will speak

Let me at least say goodbye

Don't take him!
You can't do this!
Someone help him, please!
The day will come, remember,
You will be free!
No!
There is nothing wrong
with your television,
Do not attempt
to adjust the picture,
We are now controlling
the transmission,
We control the horizontal
and the vertical,
We can deluge you
with a thousand channels
or expand one single image
to crystal clarity
and beyond,
We can shape your vision
to anything our imagination
can conceive,
For the next hour,
we will control
all that you see and hear,
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery
which reaches from
the deepest inner mind
to The Outer Limits,
Line up for inspection, 2 rows!
Our history is filled
with grim reminders
of our inhumanity,
Armies are crushed,

his own elders die
in the last uprising
because they couldn't
see that,
I won't watch
the same thing happen
to all of you,
I say at least one or 2 men
can get over the wall,
If the others
will provide a distraction,
Now, who is with me?
I'm with you,
I'm with you,
Come on, lets go!
Hey,
Come on, she's sleeping,
No, she's not, Wait,
Come on,
No,
No! No!
You belong
to the commandant now,
is that it?
Please just go to sleep,
You're as bad as the overseers,
You're worse!
You bargain with your own body,
You make me sick!
Come on down and have a drink!
Thank you,
I had a dream
that i went over the wall last night,
I wanna know
what's over there,
One of the survivors
from the uprising
got a glimpse,
He told my father
that all he could see
was scorched earth, black steel,
and new masters everywhere,
He saw what
they really looked like?
3 times the size of a man,
4 arms,
razor teeth,
The next time I get a chance,
I'm gonna take a look,
Overseers report
to the commandant's office,
Emergency!
Bring her to me,
Where are you taking me?
What have i done?
Where are you taking her?
Tell me!
As elder, i demand to know
what she has done!
No!
No, she hasn't done anything!
She's innocent! Please!
She hasn't done anything!
No!
Leave the daughter,
I demand to speak
with the commandant!
Please, no! Not her!
Why have you done this?
I didn't do this on purpose!
I swear!
Take the girl to the sharrak,
No! No! No! No!
Take her, too,
I want her to learn from this,
No!
Commandant, i did my best!
What happened was an accident!
Please, don't hurt her!
It's not my fault!
It was a mistake!
Please,
This wouldn't have happened
if you told me
you were a machine,
Close your eyes, love,
If you're all machines,
i can repair you,
All of you!
I'm the only one who can!
You know that,
If you let this happen,
if you let her die,
i swear i will never
repair another machine
in this camp!
Not the line,
not you,
not anything, ever!
Do you hear me?
Are you skilled enough to repair
a sophisticated
human form robot
like myself?
Yes, Yes!
If you fail,
we will return here
and finish
what we have begun,
Yes,
And you will no longer
live among the people,
Yes,
You will begin work immediately,
You know what they did to her?
I just hope
they didn't hurt
the little girl,
I've grown rather fond of her,
He's gone over!
What?
He's gone, His rope is gone,
He went above ground
during the commotion,
went over the wall,
It can be done!
He's free!
Other prisoners
must have found out
your secret,
That you're machines,
I assume you just killed them,
Yes,
The new masters programmed you
because they're too important
to watch over us,
Yes,
I can match your eye color now,
Unless you think
that might call attention
to yourself,
Prisoners rarely look me
in the eye,
Why the illusion?
Why cover yourselves with
flesh?
It was thought
you would more readily
accept domination
from your own kind,
The dermal layer is organic,
It ages over time,
like real human skin,
It must be replaced,
With each
complete replacement,
we assume a new identity,
I don't understand,
Your people pass down stories
from generation to generation,
of the commandants
who came before me,
How many have there been?
11,
And every incarnation,
the same man,
You,
And the overseers,
though their numbers
are a fraction
of what they were,
Why?
Old age,
Like the machines
you've grown so expert
in maintaining,
we're starting to break down,
I don't know how to repair...
The dermal layer
is a simple matter,
The overseer
will take care of that,
This is acceptable,
Take the child back
to the others,
No, no,
Let her stay with me,
Please,
You agreed to my terms,
She knows your secret,
She cannot speak,
You agreed to my terms,
Let me at least
say goodbye to her,
Please,
Mama has to stay here
for a long time and work,
I'll still be able to teach you
and work alongside you,
I just won't be
staying with you anymore
in the barracks,
We're together,
Here,
All right?
With each other,
Always,
Take her,
Come,
We have a lot to discuss,
There are 2 announcements,
First, the ration
will be supplemented
by a further 500 calories
per person,
And time above ground
in the exercise yard
will be increased by 50 percent,
These changes
will become effective
immediately,
Commandant?
Yes?
Why have you ordered
these changes?
Prisoner 98843 has made it clear
that increased worker efficiency
will maximize
the camp's productivity,
Prisoner 98843
no longer exists to us,
I speak for the people,
We will not accept
this ration increase
until you speak to me as elder
and no one else,
As you wish,
Commandant,
let me speak to them,
You are dismissed,
Elder,
don't deny the children food
because of me,
Thank you, love,
Familiarize yourself
with our mechanisms,
Repair them, if possible,
If not, begin harvesting
useful parts,
There are several of us
in urgent need of repairs,
I'll show you,
Why haven't the new masters
sent replacements for you?
They're at war with a world
far from here,
That effort stretches
their resources,
You don't ever expect
to be relieved,
No, This camp
refines a low priority fuel
for ships which
have become obsolete,
So you're expendable,
Yes,
And so are the people,
Yes,
Take care not to activate
the power source, there,
Next time, i may not be here,
I need to get a tool
from the...
Overseer, are you listening?
What do you want?
If i am caught,
they will kill me,
You're not welcome here,
Please,
i just came to tell you,
the overseers aren't men,
They're men,
They're men
who betrayed their people,
just like you betrayed me,
They're machines,
I've seen them
beneath their skin,
Get away from me,
If i ever meant
anything to you...
I said get out!
Go back to sleep,
Forgive me,
I forgot you need
somewhere to sleep,
But i did remember
that you must eat,
Come,
You may sit,
I can have more brought
if you wish,
No, This is...
Don't you sleep?
I must remain still
for some hours
while i recharge
my main power supply,
During that time,
i run self diagnostics,
plan logistics,
Do you dream?
I have thoughts,
Have you been successful
in repairing
any of the overseers?
You and the overseers
have far exceeded
your designed life expectancy,
commandant,
I can only do so much,
How long?
Possibly months,
If you exert yourself
only when necessary,
You must be very tired,
I'll arrange a bed for you,
Commandant?
What will happen then
to my people?
When neither i nor the overseers
can effectively run the camp,
i will carry out procedure 7,
Discontinue operations,
You mean kill the people,
All of us,
Yes,
Then why continue?
If we have no future,
why not end it now?
If you were given the chance
to live one more day,
would you?
Yes,
And so would i,
Straighten up for inspection,
2 rows,
Are all prisoners
accounted for?
No, sir,
Prisoner 97543 is missing,
Commandant,
the young man is very sick,
All prisoners
are required to attend,
His sickness is very contagious,
We've isolated him
in the barrack,
Do you know the prisoner?
Is this true?
Yes, commandant,
He was showing signs of fever
the last time i saw him,
I believe the elder
is telling the truth,
Confirm it,
Yes, commandant,
An overseer will accompany you,
Stay here while i check on him,
You're burning up,
He's very sick, He should rest,
The prisoner is very sick,
He will probably die,
He should be left in peace,
He's already dead,
No prisoner
can go over the wall
and expect to survive,
Automated defenses stopped him
from ever reaching
the other side,
The world outside these walls
is the domain
of the new masters,
There is no escape from here,
Anyone aiding or abetting
such an attempt
will be punished,
No,
Feed her child to the sharrak,
No!
No! No!
Stop them!
Stop them!
I was trying to help you!
Stop them from doing this!
Send me in her place,
I'm the one
who betrayed you! please!
I beg you!
She's done nothing!
Get back to work,
I can repair you,
Please, if you spare her,
i swear, i can make you
live forever!
Forever,
Now do you see?
I told you, he's a machine!
They're all machines!
And they're going to kill us!
He told me so himself!
Execute procedure 7,
Execute procedure 7,
Fight them!
Fight!
Procedure 7,
Execute procedure 7,
Procedure 7...
Stay where you are!
Protect the children!
This way,
Die!
Children!
They're all dead,
They're all dead!
We did it!
Hey, what do we do now?
This is the day
our people have waited for,
They should have
slaughtered us,
What's happened to them?
They were machines,
Old machines,
They couldn't take the strain,
What do we do?
Repair me,
No,
Return to your barracks,
I order you,
There's nothing for us here,
Repair me!
We are the last of the people,
Whatever awaits us
on the other side
of that gate,
we can say that
for at least this moment,
we are free,
Do you wanna see
what's on the other side?
Open the gate,
Look at that,
Where are they?
Where are they?
Where?
They've gone,
For how long?
Almost a hundred years,
And you kept the camp
running all that time?
Why?
I was following my programming,
Of all the needs
which drive us,
hunger, thirst, desire,
perhaps the most powerful
is the simple need to be free.
