Klaatu is shot and murdered shortly after. Gort vaporizes the polymer cube encasing Klaatu and murders the two soldiers standing watch, knowing he has killed him. Klaatu's message is conveyed by Helen. Gort transports her into the spaceship before retrieving Klaatu's lifeless body, which he resurrects. When Klaatu revives, he tells Gort that he has been restored to life many times before but that he will never be content until he has brought justice to the perpetrators of all crime. Klaatu declares that he will begin his search for Earth's criminals. Before he leaves, he gives Gort his word that he will return. Gort agrees to this and sets out in pursuit of Klaatu's ship. In a final scene we see Gort pursuing Klaatu's ship across the stars, while its crew attempts to shoot it down. However, Gort is able to deflect each projectile with his hand and continue the chase. As Klaatu's ship begins to enter Earth's atmosphere, Gort realizes that Klaatu will not be stopped and that humanity must be prevented from reaching Earth in time. So, Gort shoots out the ship's landing gear and allows it to crash land on Earth. Gort then tells the audience that he will always be watching over them.
