Breakaway Lost Scenes

This is scene 46, as Koenig talks to Ouma in Main Mission. It was filmed on Monday 10th December 1973. The script line is "I want them checked against the flights of the Eagle shuttle flown by Collins.". Here they have decided to shorten from "the flights of the Eagle shuttle" to "the shuttle". We then immediately follow into scene 48, again with Ouma explains the flight data to Koenig.

Director: "- start walking?"
Landau: "He didn't want me walking."
Director: "No, alright. Now you need just shuttle." Landau: "What'd I say? Yes? That's right"
Director: "Just shuttle."
Landau: "Just shuttle this time. Right"
Crew: "Yes, still running."
Director: "And...action"
Koenig: "Ouma. I want a breakdown of all recorded information on the training flights of Probe Astronauts. I'd like them checked against the shuttle flights flown by Collins. Search for any correlation between them, any whatsoever."
Ouma (assertive): "Immediately, Commander."
Director: "Alright, cut."
Ouma (softer): "Immediately, Commander."
Crew: "56, take 2."
Koenig: "Ouma. I want a breakdown of all information ... Ouma. I want a breakdown of all recorded information on the training flights of Probe Astronauts. Check it against the ... " (Soft) "Wrong."
Director: "Cut."
Crew: "52 take 3."
Koenig: "Ouma. I want a breakdown of all recorded information on the ... Ouma, I want a .... Ouma. I want a breakdown of all recorded information on the training flights of Probe Astronauts. Check it against the shuttle flights flown by Collins. Search for any correlation between them, any whatsoever."
Ouma: "Immediately, Commander."
Director: "Repeat your line once more."
Ouma (exactly the same): "Immediately, Commander."
Director: "One more."
Ouma (exactly the same): "Immediately, Commander."
Director: "Alright, cut."

Crew: "Take 5. Start rolling. Action"
Ouma: "The flight was recording perfectly."
Crew: "Cut. Sorry."
Barbara Bain: "Wait, who's that?"
Landau: "That's Sandra."
Barbara Bain: "Sandra. She's still showing."
(Voices are indistinct here and there are two clapperboard claps).
Director: "Action."
Ouma: "The flight was recording perfectly. Then suddenly everything went blank for two minutes. Just like that. Then just as suddenly it all started again. Perfectly."
Koenig: "Where did the blank out occur?"
Ouma: "Navigation beacon delta. On the far side."
Koenig (quiet): "That's disposal area one." (louder) "Paul, check out disposal area one. The past ten days. All the numbers."
Paul: "Sandra, check ten on, uh, disposal area one please, and bring it in."
Sandra (off stage): "Yes, Paul."
Koenig: "Collins, the shuttle pilot, now he flew over area one to get to area two. Just he generally fly that route?"
Paul: "Four or six times a week. "
Koenig: "It's a turning point?"
Paul: "It's one of the few constructions on the dark side of the moon. It's a clear landmark on the way to area two."
Koenig: "And the probe astronauts?"
Paul: "Well, they do their training flights on the dark side, away from Alpha traffic."
Koenig: "But they do fly over area one regularly?"
Paul: "But there is a minimum altitude regulation."
Koenig: "Yeah."
Ouma: "And that's where their training... their flight recorder blanked out on their last training mission."
Director: "Cut. One more."
Crew: "Standby. 54 take 4."
Director: "Action."
Ouma: "The flight was recording perfectly. Then suddenly everything went blank for two minutes. Just like that. Then -then just as suddenly ..."
Barry Morse: "All stand please."
Director: "Once again please."
Crew: "54 take 5."
Director: "Action."
Ouma: "The flight was recording perfectly. Then suddenly everything went -went blank ... just"
Koenig: "Don't sweat it."
Crew: "Standby. 54 take 6."
Director: "Action."
Ouma: "The flight was recording perfectly. Then suddenly everything went blank for two minutes. Just like that. Then just as suddenly it all started again. Perfectly."
Koenig: "And where did the blank out occur?"
Ouma: "Navigation beacon delta. On the far side."
Koenig (quiet): "That's disposal area one." (louder) "Paul, check out the latest figures on disposal area one for the past ten days."
Paul: "Sandra, check ten on area one please, and bring it in."
Sandra (off stage): "Yes, Paul."
Koenig: "The shuttle pilot Collins, he flew over area one to get to area two, does he fly that route regularly?"
Paul: "Four or six times a week. "
Koenig: "It's a turning point?"
Paul: "It's one of the few constructions on the dark side of the moon. It's a clear landmark on the way to area two."
Koenig: "And the probe astronauts?"
Paul: "They do their training flights on the dark side, away from Alpha traffic."
Koenig: "But they do regularly fly over area one?"
Paul: "But there is a minimum regulation on altitude."
Koenig: "Yeah."
Ouma: "And that's where their flight recorder blanked out on their last training flight."
Koenig: "I had Collins fly low over that area to get us good..boy..."
Director: "Action."
Paul: "Sandra, check ten on area one please, and bring it in."
Sandra (off stage): "Yes, Paul."
Koenig: "The shuttle pilot Collins, he flew over area one to get to area two. Does he always fly that route?"
Paul: "Four or six times a week. "
Koenig: "It's a turning point?"
Paul: "It's one of the few constructions on the dark side. It's a clear landmark on the way to area two."
Director: "Your line."
Landau: "I'm glad you said that, I was going to keep going!"

Scene 48, a slightly different version of which appears in the episode. Sandra walks in with a readout.

Crew: "Take 2"
Director: "Action"
Sandra: "Paul, Commander. There is a steep rise in heat levels in disposal area one. This is impossible."
Koenig: "To generate that kind of heat, the waste must have become active."
Sandra: "No, radiation count remains normal."
Koenig: "It's got to be fissioning."
Sandra: "All indications show that the radiation level is normal but the heat continues to rise."
Koenig: "The same story as area 2 except ... the heat is building." Pause. "Victor, I think I've got a connection, a correlation."
Bergman: "Right, I'll be with you."
Koenig: "Bring in area...area one on video." (Landau stumbles over the line but the scene continues)
Pause. They are supposedly looking at the Big Screen
Crewman: "Flash!"
Sandra: "That is incredible heat. But still no radiation."
Koenig: "Incomprehensible. Move on."
Beeps. Crew: "Still going."
Crew; "64 take 7 to cut."
Director: "Action""
Sandra: "This is impossible."
Koenig: "To generate that kind of heat, the waste must have become active."
Sandra: "No, radiation count remains normal."
Koenig: "It's got to be fissioning."
Sandra: "All indications show that the radiation level is normal but the heat continues to rise."
Koenig: "The same story as area 2 except the heat is building." Short pause. "Victor. Victor, I think I've got a connection, a correlation."
Bergman: "Right, I'll be with you."
Koenig: "Bring in area one on video."
Director: "Cut"
Landau: "I talked to him before I had a picture."
Director: "That's alright."

Crew: "56 take 1"
Director: "Action"
Crew: "Flash!"
Sandra: "That is incredible heat. But still no radiation."
Koenig: "It's incomprehensible. Heat without radiation. Heat without atomic activity." (he stumbles over the word 'activity')
Crew: "56 take 4"
Director: "Action"
Crew: "Flash."
Sandra: "It is incredible heat. But still no radiation."
Koenig: "It's incomprehensible. Heat without atomic activity."
Director: "Cut"
Crew: "Start running."
Crew: "57 take 1"
Director: "Action"
Crew: "Flash."
Sandra: "That is incredible heat. But still no radiation."
Koenig: "It's incomprehensible, heat without atomic activity."
Bergman: "Here. Let's take a look at that."
Director: "Cut. Move down."
Crew: "57 take 2"
Director: "Action"
Crew: "Flash."
Sandra: "That is incredible heat. But still no radiation."
Koenig: "It's incomprehensible. Heat without atomic activity."
Bergman: "Here. Let's have a look at that."
Crew: "Flash. Flash. Burn out."
Sandra: "Burn out. Camera gone."
Paul: "Second camera please."
Crew: "Flash. It burns out."
Sandra: "The thermal sensors have burned out as well."
Koenig: "Call Carter. I want an Eagle on the pad for immediate lift off."
Bergman: "John, I wouldn't risk anyone flying over in that. "
Paul: "Main Mission to Carter. Come in please."
Director: "Cut"
