What Really Happened to Victor Bergman,
already in progress.
(Moonbase Alpha control room.)
(Cut to hallway. The walls are glowing green. The creature engulfs three extras. It looks like an orange shag carpet, with a rotating, spiral-patterned hypno-disk for a head.)
(Space. Three stars are visible in the upper left corner of the screen. An Eagle wafts by, spewing Freon. Suddenly an enormous, mottled, yellow ball shifts into view.)
(Interior of Eagle. AUSTRALIAN GUY is at the controls.)
(Cut to hallway. The walls are glowing blue. The shag carpet encounters two more extras. The camera tilts up to give us further evidence that the set has a ceiling.)
(Commercial)
(Night. KOENIG's quarters. He tosses in bed, unable to sleep.)
(KOENIG sits up and jumps out of bed, agitated. He staggers out of his quarters and into a hallway, with walls glowing red. With a horrified expression, he sees AUSTRALIAN GUY firing at the creature with what looks like a staple gun. A beam of light extends intermittently from a point a few inches to the right of the staple gun to a point a few inches to the right of the shag carpet.)
(AUSTRALIAN GUY fires again, and the hypnodisk reverses direction and starts rotating counterclockwise, and shoots sparks; the shag rug backs down the corridor.)
(Sick bay. KOENIG is strapped in a hospital bed, with various blinking devices displaying his vital signs. Suddenly he awakens.)
(With sudden, awesome strength, KOENIG, teeth clenched and face contorted, breaks through the straps holding him in the bed. He leaves the sick bay.)
(Commercial)
(KOENIG sits in the transport tube. Stock shot of transport tube car, which is square on the inside and cylindrical on the outside, moving through tunnel.)
(KOENIG leaves transport tube, puts on a spacesuit, and exits Moonbase Alpha through an airlock. He bounds across the desolate lunar surface toward a shed covered with radioactivity warning signs, the interior of which appears to be piled high with Gouda cheese. He lifts one of the cheeses; it is about two feet wide and marked with an enormous "radioactive" symbol. Music sting.)
(KOENIG staggers into the control room, looking totally deranged, carrying the enormous radioactive Gouda. He lifts it high.)
(KOENIG drops the Gouda. It hits the floor and breaks, revealing... cheese.)
(KOENIG's facial features change: suddenly he isn't Martin Landau, he's Patrick McGoohan. A spherical ceiling lamp illuminates his head, which is also festooned with electrodes. Zoom out: he's kneeling and screaming in a padded room, visible on an enormous wall screen. Lava-lamp-like blobs float around on the screen to the left. The enormous circular set has a huge, hemispherical chair in the center, next to a spherical white balloon, which wobbles slightly. The chair swivels around to reveal BERGMAN, wearing a badge bearing a penny-farthing bicycle and the number 2. Enter RUSSELL, wearing the badge of Number 45.)
(NUMBER 2 slowly climbs out of his chair, which recedes into the floor, and removes his Number 2 badge. Enter MAIA, who takes it from him and pins it on. The former NUMBER 2 drops his cigar and walks out in disgrace, head bowed.)
(Giant face of Patrick McGoohan, flying out of an aerial view of Wales. Bars clang shut over the image. A penny-farthing bicycle assembles itself over the closing credits.)
THE END
