had a lot of fun with Ellender's phrase:
Breaking the time barrier.
Well, obviously, we've gone and done it.
While we were blacked out
for what seemed like minutes to us...
...the slow centuries
were passing on Earth.
My wife and children grew old...
...and died.
Years ago.
Let's see what we can find out
from the dates on those other monuments.
The latest date I found was 2188.
Even that marker looked very old.
Probably the year of a great catastrophe.
Yes, of course. The high radiation count.
Let's say that 2188 was the fatal year.
The year in which
mankind destroyed itself...
...and poisoned the air and the soil
of the Earth with radioactivity.
In, say, 200 years...
...the radiation might die down
to the level at which we found it.
But those brutes
who attacked us last night...
Do you mean to say
that's all that's left of the human race?
I don't know.
Undoubtedly, they are mutates.
Descendants of civilized humans
who survived the atomic blasts...
...but whose reproductive cells
were damaged by radiation.
You mean that monster
we buried back at the camp...
...is the heir to 10,000 years
of human progress?
Well, the spiders were mutates too.
exist on Earth?
Who knows?
But perhaps
some normal humans do survive.
We've got to find out.
I think that answers the question
of where we are.
Take a look up there.
Those can only be the Rockies.
And this could be Montana or Idaho.
Not so far north. Too arid.
More likely Colorado
or northern New Mexico.
But if this is Colorado or New Mexico,
where are the cities, the towns?
Denver, Albuquerque?
- What is it, John?
- Take a look up there.
That's not a brush fire.
It's too thin a column of smoke for that.
Look, it's good military procedure
to send out a scout.
- Cover me.
- Now, wait a minute.
I'll be all right.
Just cover me, that's all.
Wonder why a fellow like that
isn't married.
He was.
Met a girl when he was
Married her.
They had a couple of fine children.
He was stationed in Japan
after the war...
...and his wife and children
flew out to join him.
Their plane went down in mid-Pacific.
No trace of it was ever found.
I'll take him, skipper.
Don't waste ammunition.
We haven't got much.
- They're getting behind us, doc.
- Come on, let's get out of here.
Hold up. We're cut off this way.
Up there, a tunnel or a cave.
Well, I guess they aren't
I hope this tunnel isn't occupied.
- All clear in there?
All clear as far as I can see.
He's coming to.
- Everybody all right?
