The Quatermass Conclusion (1979) Subtitles

00:00:06,917 --> 00:00:10,In that last quarter of
the twentieth century...

00:00:10,459 --> 00:00:12,the whole world seemed to sicken.

00:00:13,959 --> 00:00:17,Civilised institutions,
whether old or new, fell...

00:00:18,542 --> 00:00:22,as if some primal disorder was
reasserting itself.

00:00:24,709 --> 00:00:26,And men asked themselves...

00:00:27,334 --> 00:00:29,"Why should this be?"

00:00:35,709 --> 00:00:37,Look - I can't get no further.

00:00:37,584 --> 00:00:39,The studio's just down there -
through the alleyway.

00:00:39,334 --> 00:00:40,You can walk it!

00:00:40,292 --> 00:00:41,I distinctly understood...

00:00:42,334 --> 00:00:43,Push off.

00:00:43,959 --> 00:00:44,Don't you want your fare?

00:00:44,793 --> 00:00:45,Where've you been, guv?

00:02:09,042 --> 00:02:10,We've g***t you, old chap.

00:02:11,376 --> 00:02:12,What's he worth?

00:02:14,251 --> 00:02:16,Well, I'm not worth kidnapping,
if that's what you want?

00:02:16,626 --> 00:02:18,That is for us to say.

00:02:33,126 --> 00:02:34,Take his teeth out.

00:02:34,042 --> 00:02:35,Mmmm.

00:02:35,834 --> 00:02:37,I say - they're his own!

00:04:12,584 --> 00:04:14,I simply had no idea.

00:04:15,501 --> 00:04:16,None at all.

00:04:18,334 --> 00:04:19,It's bad.

00:04:20,584 --> 00:04:21,They don't tell you.

00:04:23,876 --> 00:04:25,They're just bland about it.

00:04:25,751 --> 00:04:28,They call it "urban collapse",
then it's nobody' s fault.

00:04:28,126 --> 00:04:31,Yes, but... the savagery.

00:04:45,042 --> 00:04:48,Quite out of all this. In a
cottage, by a loch.

00:04:48,126 --> 00:04:49,In the West of Scotland.

00:04:49,709 --> 00:04:50,Oh, I don't...

get you on a train.

00:05:00,167 --> 00:05:03,What, you mean, er... walk
out on all this?

00:05:03,501 --> 00:05:05,Oh, they don't care.

00:05:05,751 --> 00:05:06,So why should you?

00:05:24,459 --> 00:05:26,Her parents were killed
on an autobahn.

00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:29,She-she-she came to stay
with me, but, er...

00:05:30,584 --> 00:05:31,then she ran away.

00:05:33,209 --> 00:05:34,Have you any children?

00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:36,Two. A lot younger.

00:05:37,292 --> 00:05:38,She was only sixteen.

00:05:39,542 --> 00:05:41,Do you know, they won't
even list them?

00:05:41,292 --> 00:05:43,There are so many missing they...
they've just given up.

00:05:44,167 --> 00:05:45,But I've... I've g***t to try.

00:05:45,834 --> 00:05:47,Anything. Anything at all.

00:05:48,376 --> 00:05:51,I mean, if you should ever...
ever happen to, er...

00:05:51,751 --> 00:05:57,Er... please keep it, hmm? Her name's
on the back. Hetty. Hetty Carson.

00:05:58,959 --> 00:05:59,I'll remember it.

00:05:59,834 --> 00:06:02,Yes, I'm... I'm afraid it's become
quite an obsession.

00:06:03,917 --> 00:06:04,Forgive me, Dr Kapp.

00:06:04,917 --> 00:06:07,Oh, don't worry. I... I'd feel the same.

00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:10,Oh! I never even asked
about your work.
