00:02:26I thought you were supposed to wish on shooting stars.
00:02:29But I did.
00:02:30But we only saw one.
00:02:31But you see a lot of them up here at night.
00:02:33What?
00:02:34Well, I mean, there's a lot of them out at night.
00:02:37You don't see them in town, that's why I come up here.
00:02:40Oh, no, no, no, that's not what I mean.
00:02:43I mean, you can see them better up here at...
00:02:44I know what you mean, Steve.
00:02:45No, no, that's not what you think, Janie girl.
00:02:49My name is Jane.
00:02:52Just Jane.
00:02:54For a little while, I even thought that shooting star business...
00:03:01wasn't just part of your line.
00:03:03But it's not, Janie, but...
00:03:05Jane, I've never brought anyone up here before.
00:03:09Never?
00:03:14Never.
00:03:20Well, it may be crazy, but...
00:03:23Well, I believe you.
00:03:25Well, you're not crazy.
00:03:35Boy, that was close.
00:03:36Hey, come on.
00:03:37I want to see if I can find you.
00:03:53Well, get back to somebody.
00:03:56Get back to somebody.
00:04:13Get back, get back.
00:04:15Get back, you son of a bitch.
00:04:20Get back, you son of a bitch.
00:04:22Get back, you son of a bitch.
00:04:45Come on, come on, come on.
00:05:15Come on, come on.
00:05:45Come on, come on.
00:06:07Come on.
00:06:10Come on.
00:06:13Oh! Oh!
00:06:15Oh!
00:06:17Oh!
00:06:19Oh!
00:06:28I could have sworn it landed just over this hill.
00:06:30Maybe it's like lightning.
00:06:32Sometimes you think it's striking right next door,
00:06:34and it's really miles away.
00:06:36No, I still think it's close by.
00:06:39Well, do you want to go back and try the other road?
00:06:43No.
00:06:47Huh?
00:06:49Well, I'm sorry about the bumpy ride.
00:06:52It's all right, Steve.
00:06:55Well, listen, why don't we go back to town and I'll apologize.
00:06:59I'll apologize over a sandwich.
00:07:02I mean, on me.
00:07:04Okay?
00:07:05Okay.
00:07:13Steve, watch out!
00:07:27What was that?
00:07:28It looked like an old man.
00:07:30Oh!
00:07:32Where'd he go?
00:07:34Hey, you okay?
00:07:36Good!
00:07:37Take me to a doctor!
00:07:39What's the matter?
00:07:40I can't get it off!
00:07:42Well, here, let me try. Maybe I can get it off.
00:07:44No! You can't!
00:07:45Okay.
00:07:46Come on, we'll get you in the car.
00:07:49No!
00:07:50You're okay. Go ahead. Get in.
00:07:52It hurts.
00:07:53Take it easy now.
00:07:59Here, better put this on. Now take it easy.
00:08:01We'll get you there as fast as we can.
00:08:03Boy, I hope the dock is in.
00:08:06Hey, Mrs. Porter.
00:08:07Back to Halden.
00:08:08I'm leaving now.
00:08:10Yes, I'll be back tomorrow night.
00:08:11Probably late.
00:08:13Oh, I haven't forgotten anything.
00:08:16Yes, I'll be fine.
00:08:19Look, Mrs. Porter.
00:08:21If you'll just keep your eye on the house while I'm gone.
00:08:25Goodbye.
00:08:31Come on.
00:08:37Come on.
00:08:50Hey, who's the cowboy?
00:08:51It's no cowboy. That's Steve Andrews.
00:08:52What?
00:08:53Yeah, that's his container.
00:08:54It's a real dog.
00:08:55Well, he can't do that to us.
00:09:01Hey, Doc.
00:09:02It's all right. Come on.
00:09:03Watch your hand.
00:09:04Hey, Doc, Hal, this man's been hurt.
00:09:06Well, come on in.
00:09:07You want to get the door?
00:09:08Hey, Doc.
00:09:09All right.
00:09:10Come on.
00:09:11Watch your hand.
00:09:12Hey, Doc, how this man's been hurt?
00:09:15Well, come on in.
00:09:16You want to get the door?
00:09:17No.

00:09:54No.
00:09:55What's the matter with him?
00:09:56How?
00:09:57I don't know.
00:09:59He's got something on his hand.
00:10:01What do you mean?
00:10:02Well, we ran into him down on the old north road.
00:10:05He was screaming about this thing on his hand.
00:10:07Let's take a look.
00:10:08Take it easy, old timer.
00:10:09What is it he's got on his hand?
00:10:10I don't know, Doc.
00:10:11It was kind of like a...
00:10:12Well, a big blister on his fingers.
00:10:13You know?
00:10:14Easy now.
00:10:15Easy.
00:10:16How are we going to help you if you don't let us see it?
00:10:18Doc.
00:10:19It's gotten bigger.
00:10:20It was just on his hand before.
00:10:21Cover him with this, please.
00:10:22I'd better give him something.
00:10:23Take it easy, old timer.
00:10:24Everything's going to be all right.
00:10:25Steve, do you know who he is?
00:10:26Steve?
00:10:27Do you know who he is?
00:10:28Steve?
00:10:29Do you know who he is?
00:10:30Steve?
00:10:31Do you know who he is?
00:10:32Oh, no.
00:10:33No.
00:10:34No.
00:10:35All right.
00:10:36Take it easy, old timer.
00:10:37Everything's going to be all right.
00:10:38Steve?
00:10:39Do you know who he is?
00:10:40Huh?
00:10:41Do you have any idea who he is?
00:10:42Oh, no.
00:10:43No.
00:10:44All right.
00:10:45Take it easy.
00:10:46There we are.
00:10:47Steve.
00:10:48Huh?
00:10:49Could you drive out to the place where you found him?
00:10:50See if you can find somebody that knows what he is.
00:10:52Oh, no.
00:10:53No.
00:10:54No.
00:10:55No.

00:11:13People know exactly what happened.
00:11:14Right.
00:11:15Right.
00:11:16Right.
00:11:28Steve!
00:11:29Yeah.
00:11:30Would you turn out the outside light...
00:11:32When you go...
00:11:33And I don't want to be disturbed.
00:11:35Sure, Doc.
00:11:37Sure.
00:11:38Let's go.
00:12:08What's up?
00:12:21Congratulations.
00:12:22Yeah, for what?
00:12:23For what, he says.
00:12:25Modest.
00:12:26Mooch, quick, the crown.
00:12:38Okay, I give up.
00:12:40You just beat out the champion, pal.
00:12:42A little while ago when you came into town.
00:12:46Oh.
00:12:48I get it.
00:12:49Well, thanks anyway, but you can keep the crown.
00:12:51No, no, no, wait a minute, Steve.
00:12:54You just can't stop being the champion like that.
00:12:58You gotta meet a challenger.
00:13:00You mean you?
00:13:01Me.
00:13:02Did I say anything about a race, guys?
00:13:05Huh? Not a word.
00:13:07All right, look, it's been a ball.
00:13:08You know, but I gotta go.
00:13:10Yeah.
00:13:12We know how you go.
00:13:14We're just not so sure you should drive around so fast.
00:13:19Now, look, I just don't have time to prove anything tonight.
00:13:21Now, do you understand?
00:13:22Well, who's asking you to prove anything?
00:13:25We can beat this kiddie car of yours going backwards.
00:13:28Oh, that's a fog on transfusion.
00:13:36Okay.
00:13:37Yeah!
00:13:37Now, you're talking, King.
00:13:43And we'll do it just like you said.
00:13:51What did I say?
00:13:52Backwards.
00:13:54Huh?
00:13:54I said you could beat this kiddie car going backwards.
00:13:57To the light.
00:14:01Okay.
00:14:02Okay.
00:14:03You say when.
00:14:06Okay.
00:14:08Okay.
00:14:11When?
00:14:16I told you, I got to leave now.
00:14:35Hey, Steve.
00:14:46All right, what's this all about?
00:15:11Hi, Dave.
00:15:13Hey, what's up?
00:15:14Huh?
00:15:15I seem to be missing something.
00:15:18What's going on?
00:15:19We're just sitting here waiting for the light.
00:15:23Oh, you mean that light down there?
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:30And you do know you're on the wrong side of the road.
00:15:36Would you think it was funny if your father, if Jane's father heard you were booked for reckless driving?
00:15:45Okay, don't bring the fathers into this.
00:15:47I'll never do it again.
00:15:48Do what again?
00:15:49Huh?
00:15:50Do what again?
00:15:51Well, whatever you think I'm doing, Dave.
00:15:57Like driving on the wrong side of the road?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:03Yeah.
00:16:07Or maybe even driving backwards?
00:16:09Hey, Dave.
00:16:10That's an idea.
00:16:11Hey, listen.
00:16:12You know that 80 or 90% of the actors are a front-end job.
00:16:15You know, in Australia, they've got airplanes, you know, with the seats set in backwards so in case we've got a collision.
00:16:21They've got no comp...
00:16:24No good, huh?
00:16:28Okay.
00:16:29Lock me up.
00:16:32You mean you were driving...
00:16:35Why?
00:16:38What am I gonna do with you kids?
00:16:40You know I don't want to haul you in.
00:16:42No more fooling around, Dave.
00:16:43No, I mean it.
00:16:45I...
00:16:47I promise.
00:16:48Right, Jane?
00:16:49Right.
00:16:50See?
00:16:51No more horseplay.
00:16:54No more horseplay, Dave.
00:16:57No, no more fooling around.
00:16:58Get out of here.
00:17:17Here they come.
00:17:21Hey, what happened?
00:17:23Sergeant Burt?
00:17:24No, no, no, Dave.
00:17:25Oh, you're lucky it wasn't Burtsey.
00:17:27Yeah, you're not kidding, man.
00:17:28You don't know the half of it.
00:17:29What?
00:17:30Last night we seen Gig's car parked in front of Nancy's, you know?
00:17:33Listen to this.
00:17:34So, uh, we decided we'd move it, hide it on him.
00:17:36So we're moving it down the center of the street.
00:17:39When along comes Sergeant Burt.
00:17:42So Mooch tells him, we can't get it started, you know?
00:17:48He says, I don't care, uh, you're blocking traffic.
00:17:52Move it.
00:17:53Move it out of the way, you know?
00:17:54So then he gets out of the car, comes over to us, and he's helping us move Gig's car.
00:18:00Just then, Gig comes out of the house, and he's yelling, who's stealing my car?
00:18:07How about Bertie would drop his teeth?
00:18:09I bet he did.
00:18:10Boy, boy, if Gig didn't cover for us, we would have been in trouble.
00:18:14Yeah, you know, I'd sure hate to cross Bertie again tonight.
00:18:17Hey, uh, hey, what happened with you and Dave?
00:18:19Oh, I got a lecture, promised to be a good boy.
00:18:22You know, Dave's a good guy.
00:18:24I think we have been steaming it up a little too much.
00:18:27There's about two inches of rubber on the street outside Doc's house.
00:18:30Hey, oh, I almost forgot I gotta do something for the Doc.
00:18:33What?
00:18:34I gotta go up on the old North Road and check on some people.
00:18:37You wanna come with me?
00:18:38Oh, no, man, no, we're going to the Flicks, right?
00:18:40Sure, good luck. At this time of night?
00:18:41Yeah, yeah, it's a midnight spook bit.
00:18:43Now, we got some rumors there'd be some unprotected women in the balcony.
00:18:47All right, well, listen, why don't you, come on, come on, you know, come with us.
00:18:50And then you can go to the movies afterwards.
00:18:51Only take a half hour.
00:18:53Come on.
00:18:54It's okay with me.
00:18:55All right, man, either way.
00:18:57Okay.
00:18:58Good.
00:19:21Good.
00:19:22Good.
00:19:27Give me a hand.
00:19:28Now,č Carter.
00:19:29Grugberton 4771.
00:19:305296.
00:19:36Easter
00:19:41No, no message. Thanks. Good-bye.
00:20:08Hello?
00:20:10Kate, Dr. Hallin, I'm still at the office.
00:20:14If something's come up, I'll need your help right away.
00:20:17No, you've got to come back, Kate.
00:20:19There's a man here with some sort of a parasite on his arm.
00:20:22It's assimilating his flesh at a frightening speed.
00:20:25I may have to get ahead of it and amputate.
00:20:28Now, I... I don't know what it is or where it came from.
00:20:35Hey, man, look at that, will you?
00:20:37What is it, Steve?
00:20:38Wow, I don't know.
00:20:42Hey, what landed here?
00:20:43Yeah, we must be getting pretty close to the front line.
00:20:45Hey, why would anybody leave a lantern here?
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:49Here.
00:20:50What is it, Steve?
00:20:51It's hot.
00:20:52Watch it.
00:20:53A shooting star?
00:20:54Hey, we saw that, too.
00:20:56A real big one.
00:20:57Like a sky rocket?
00:20:58Oh, yeah, about an hour ago.
00:21:00Do you think this is it?
00:21:02I don't know.
00:21:03Let me see.
00:21:07Wow.
00:21:08A real piece of sky.
00:21:09Here, Mooch.
00:21:14Huh.
00:21:15You mean that this little pebble's been out there hot rodding around the universe?
00:21:19Probably big as a moon when it started.
00:21:21No kidding.
00:21:22Let me see you, Mooch.
00:21:25And this is all that's left?
00:21:28Well, it's all that's here.
00:21:29I'll bet there is a house close by.
00:21:34Huh.
00:21:35Doesn't sound like a house.
00:21:36It sounds like a dog.
00:21:37Come on, Steve.
00:21:38Let's go look.
00:21:39Yeah, sure.
00:21:41Hey, wait a minute.
00:21:55Hey, there's a house.
00:21:59Hey, what's up?
00:22:08Hey, Roy.
00:22:09Oh, nice.
00:22:10Would you think anybody's there?
00:22:11Hello?
00:22:12Hello?
00:22:13Doesn't look like there's anybody here at all.
00:22:15Yeah, I can't see anything but just that little dog.
00:22:17Oh, Steve, open the door lane now.
00:22:18Mm.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:20Come on, son.
00:22:21Come on, baby.
00:22:22Oh, come on.
00:22:23Come on.
00:22:24Come on, pal.
00:22:25Come on.
00:22:26Oh, come on.
00:22:27It doesn't look like anybody was there at all.
00:22:28Come here.
00:22:30I guess it's the old man's door. Don't you worry, baby.
00:22:34Think this is the place?
00:22:36Sure looks like it.
00:22:38Yeah, this is a cozy spot.
00:22:40No neighbors, no cars, no roads, no lights.
00:22:42Yeah, no movies.
00:22:44Come on, you guys. Let's get out of here.
00:22:46Let's go.
00:22:47I guess there's nothing else you can find out here, Steve.
00:22:50No, no. I guess not.
00:22:52Why don't you come with us to the spooky show, huh?
00:22:54Oh, you'd like it.
00:22:56No, no, thanks.
00:22:57Oh, you've got to stop taking everything so seriously.
00:23:00You've got to live a little. You've got to go, you know.
00:23:02Yeah, Steve, you've got to hang loose, like me.
00:23:05Okay, let's hear it. The spooky show.
00:23:07Come on. Let's go, you guys.
00:23:08Yeah, come on.
00:23:12Steve? Yeah.
00:23:13What about the dog?
00:23:15I don't know.
00:23:17I mean, we can't just leave him here. He'd starve to death.
00:23:20Yeah, that's right.
00:23:21Couldn't we take him with us?
00:23:23Sure, I guess that's the least we could do for the old man.
00:23:25Come on, let's go.
00:23:27Oh, hello, Kate. Thanks for coming back.
00:23:42It's okay. What do you want me to do?
00:23:44Well, you'd better take his pulse, but don't touch that material on his right hand.
00:23:48It absorbs flesh on contact, like an acid.
00:23:58Doctor? Where is he?
00:24:01What do you mean?
00:24:08Kate, stand still. Don't move.
00:24:10Must have absorbed the old man completely.
00:24:13I don't know what this is, but it's got to be killed before it gets any bigger.
00:24:17Oh, doctor, I'm afraid.
00:24:19Try to stay as far away from it as you can.
00:24:21Kate, be calm.
00:24:22Now do as I say.
00:24:24Behind you.
00:24:25The trichloroacetic acid.
00:24:40Throw it.
00:24:41Throw it?
00:24:42Yes, but for heaven's sake, don't get any of it on your hands.
00:24:55Doctor, nothing will stop it.
00:24:57A gun in my den.
00:25:00I've got to go for it, Kate.
00:25:02I'll try to stay absolutely still.
00:25:04Don't go.
00:25:05Don't leave me.
00:25:06I'll be right back.
00:25:07Doctor, come back, come back!
00:25:16Kate, what's the matter?
00:25:20Kate!
00:25:21Kate, what is it?
00:25:22Kate!
00:25:34Kate!
00:25:39Kate!
00:25:40Kate!
00:26:04Kate!
00:26:05Kate!
00:26:06Kate!
00:26:15Listen, you stay there and I'll go in and tell the doc.
00:26:17It doesn't look like there's anybody here.
00:26:19Yeah.
00:26:21Well, you know, maybe he took the old man over to the hospital.
00:26:23Anyway, I'll check.
00:26:24Okay.
00:26:34Listen, I'm gonna check in the garage to see if the doc's car is there.
00:27:02Oh, okay.
00:27:03Steve...
00:27:23Steve, what's the matter?
00:27:29Tell me, what happened?
00:27:30I can't.
00:27:31Well, what happened?
00:27:32It was so, it was...
00:27:34Steve, what is it?
00:27:36He's got the dock.
00:27:38It's got...
00:27:38What's the matter with him?
00:27:39I'd just like to think in the old man's hand.
00:27:42Only, only it was bigger.
00:27:43And then it was on his old head.
00:27:44And then in just a second, he disappeared.
00:27:46He disappeared?
00:27:47He was all gone.
00:27:49He was all gone.
00:27:50You know, he just disappeared just a second.
00:27:51Steve, what are you talking about?
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:57Get in the car, Jane.
00:27:58Well, what are you going to do, Steve?
00:28:00We're going to go to the police.
00:28:02He'll know what to do.
00:28:05There's no much to do unless you're out of the police.
00:28:07You're out of the police.
00:28:10Yeah, sure.
00:28:12And then, um...
00:28:13Well, we can get some of the Mars.
00:28:18Well, what's this?
00:28:21Hey, watch this, Dave.
00:28:21Don't mix up to pieces.
00:28:24Richie, you old buzzard.
00:28:26I didn't know you were a chess player.
00:28:27That's why I've been telling you, Dave.
00:28:28You're not the only thinker around here.
00:28:30It's nothing, just a hobby kind of, you know?
00:28:33Well, wait.
00:28:33Wait a minute.
00:28:35I think this is pretty interesting.
00:28:37Who do you play with?
00:28:38Well, late at night when I'm here by myself and things are pretty slow, I...
00:28:44Well, you've got to do something.
00:28:46You ought to take up chess, Dave.
00:28:47Loosen up your gray matter a little.
00:28:49I guess I'd better.
00:28:51You'll have to teach me, Richie.
00:28:52Sure, Dave.
00:28:53Anytime.
00:28:55Dave!
00:28:55Doc Hallen's been killed.
00:28:57Doc Hallen?
00:28:57What happened?
00:28:58It's over at his place.
00:28:59You've got to come now.
00:28:59Oh, wait a minute, Steve.
00:29:00Tell us what happened.
00:29:01Well, I'm trying to tell you.
00:29:02Now, this thing had killed the Doc.
00:29:04Well, what was it?
00:29:06Stop with it, kid.
00:29:08Well, it's kind of like a...
00:29:09It's kind of like a mass.
00:29:11It keeps getting bigger and bigger.
00:29:13Come on, Steve.
00:29:14Makes sense.
00:29:15I know, I know.
00:29:16Look, Dave, you've got to see this thing to believe what I'm telling you.
00:29:19Maybe the thing you saw was a monster?
00:29:24Yeah, maybe it was.
00:29:25I don't know.
00:29:26Hold on, Jim.
00:29:27Now, what is this, Steve?
00:29:29A little while ago, it was driving backwards.
00:29:31And now it's monsters.
00:29:33Look, he's not making it up.
00:29:34Dave, honest.
00:29:35Dave, I'm not kidding.
00:29:36I swear.
00:29:36Come on over to the Doc.
00:29:37You can see it for yourself.
00:29:39You're crazy if you go.
00:29:40Can't you see it's a gag?
00:29:42He says Doc Hallen's dead, Jim.
00:29:44We've got to check it out.
00:29:45Let's go.
00:29:46Richie, you mind the store.
00:29:50Hey, you can listen.
00:29:51I'm in.
00:30:16East Cornwall, Downingtown, HQ.
00:30:35Downingtown, East Cornwall, HQ.
00:30:47Q to K2.
00:30:51Do I read you right?
00:30:53Q to K2?
00:30:55Roger.
00:30:56K-N to KB-5.
00:31:14Shucks.
00:31:15This office will be closed all day.
00:31:45Every Saturday, Dr. Hallen.
00:32:04Wait a minute.
00:32:05What's the matter?
00:32:06You've got to go in there.
00:32:07The thing might be in there waiting for you.
00:32:08Well, we'll have to take that chance, won't we?
00:32:10I'm not kidding.
00:32:11Dr. Hallen.
00:32:29Dr. Hallen?
00:32:36Seems to be a short circuit in here.
00:32:38All right, you got your light?
00:32:51Everything looks okay.
00:32:52There.
00:33:08I think this is the room I saw him in.
00:33:10Mm-hmm.
00:33:16Clark, I'll see if I can find a key that'll work.
00:33:19No, the key's already here.
00:33:22It's been locked from the inside.
00:33:27Hello?
00:33:27Who's in there?
00:33:32Better go around and see if the window's unlocked.
00:33:34If it isn't, break the glass, come in and unlock the door.
00:33:37Right.
00:33:37You're not going to let him do that.
00:33:39Now, don't worry, Steve.
00:33:41Sergeant Byrd knows how to handle himself.
00:33:43And this is the only way to get to the bottom of this.
00:33:45I'll see if I can find the fuse box.
00:33:48Okay.
00:33:54Steve.
00:33:55I wonder where the little dog is.
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:59What do you think happened to him?
00:34:03I don't know.
00:34:08Now, that's more like it.
00:34:09This must have been what blew the fuse.
00:34:33Jim?
00:34:33Well, where do you get a load of this mess?
00:34:48What about this, Steve?
00:34:49I don't know, Dave.
00:34:50I can't figure it, but I know I saw the duck.
00:34:52All right, kid.
00:34:53Cut the act.
00:34:53What really happened here?
00:34:55I don't know.
00:34:56All of a sudden, your mind isn't blank.
00:34:58Is that it?
00:34:58No?
00:34:59Steve, are you sure this is the room?
00:35:00Yes.
00:35:01Yes, I'm sure of it.
00:35:02This has been fired.
00:35:08But I haven't seen any shot marks around any place.
00:35:11Let me tell you what happened, kid.
00:35:14You and whoever else was in on this with you thought you'd put one over on the police.
00:35:17So you break in here when the doc's not around, you mess the place up a little.
00:35:20Oh, wait a minute, Jim.
00:35:21The kids couldn't have done this.
00:35:23You saw for yourself.
00:35:24The window was locked from the inside.
00:35:26And so was the door.
00:35:28They rigged it with a piece of string.
00:35:30It's part of that plan to make us look silly.
00:35:32I think you're doing that pretty well by yourself, Sergeant.
00:35:37Steve, was there anybody else with you?
00:35:40No.
00:35:41How about when I stopped you over on Morgan Street?
00:35:43When you were pulling that stunt?
00:35:45Those kids had nothing to do with this.
00:35:47Who were they?
00:35:48Why, it was Tony Grisad and Mooch Miller.
00:35:51Those kids?
00:35:52Well, that's your answer right there.
00:35:53They're just the kind of kids that pull a trick like this.
00:35:56But this time they've gone too far.
00:35:58What goes on out here?
00:36:01Lance, say.
00:36:02What are you doing here, Mrs. Porter?
00:36:04Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
00:36:06Wait till doctor gets back and sees this.
00:36:08Back from where?
00:36:10Lieutenant, was it burglars?
00:36:13Well, we don't know yet.
00:36:14Where's Dr. Hallin?
00:36:16Johnsonville.
00:36:16A medical convention.
00:36:18You know, I told him this would happen one of these days.
00:36:21The way he leaves everything unlocked.
00:36:23Of course, it was my fault too.
00:36:25He asked me to keep an eye on the place.
00:36:27But that's not true, Dave.
00:36:29He never left.
00:36:31I don't think I've had the pleasure.
00:36:33Oh, this is Steve Andrews, Mrs. Porter.
00:36:35He seems to think the doctor got into some kind of trouble here tonight.
00:36:38No, sir.
00:36:39The doctor don't know anything about this.
00:36:42He called me just before he left.
00:36:45He didn't leave?
00:36:47Look, Dave, I'll bet his car is still in the garage.
00:36:50Might be.
00:36:51The doctor sometimes goes in somebody else's car.
00:36:54Dr. Gilpin, from over in Grovertown.
00:36:57Jim, call Dr. Gilpin.
00:36:59Right.
00:37:01He won't be home.
00:37:04Just checking.
00:37:06Mrs. Porter, did you hear any gunshots tonight?
00:37:09I sure did.
00:37:11Tonight and every other night.
00:37:12The people downstairs have those old movies on their television.
00:37:16There's always some shooting or screaming.
00:37:18Oh, whoever this thief was, he didn't have to tear up the place like this.
00:37:23I feel terrible.
00:37:25Oh, wait a minute, Mrs. Porter.
00:37:26I don't want any of this touched.
00:37:28Oh, I don't want the doctor to come back tomorrow and find a place like this.
00:37:31Bad enough, the window's broken all.
00:37:34But Mrs. Porter...
00:37:35Now, you boys have your work to do, and I have mine.
00:37:39There's a criminal walking around out there, free as a bird.
00:37:42You go get him.
00:37:43Let me clean up here.
00:37:45Mrs. Porter, you don't understand.
00:37:46We may want to check here for fingerprints later.
00:37:49Dr. Gilpin's on his way to Johnsonville.
00:37:52Did he pick up Dr. Hallam?
00:37:54I spoke with Mrs. Gilpin, and she said that Dr. Hallam had called around 11 o'clock just after her husband left.
00:38:00But she thought they were going to get her.
00:38:01Well, where can we reach him in Johnsonville?
00:38:04I don't know.
00:38:04I didn't ask her that.
00:38:05At St. John's Hotel.
00:38:06That's where the doctor usually stays.
00:38:09Well, they should be there in a couple of hours.
00:38:12We'll leave word to have him call us when he checks in.
00:38:15Can't I just dust around the fingerprints?
00:38:18Tomorrow.
00:38:20Well, let's go, kids.
00:38:22Dave, this is all wrong.
00:38:23All right, kid, the show's over.
00:38:26It was a cute act, but this time it didn't work.
00:38:28This locked door business really hung you.
00:38:30If everything happened like you said it didn't, where's the doctor?
00:38:33Now, where's this old man?
00:38:35Now, where's the big, bad monster?
00:38:38I don't know.
00:38:44Hand me that small hammer, will you?
00:38:47Why don't you finish that tomorrow?
00:38:49I ain't gonna be here.
00:38:50Going on a hunting trip.
00:38:56I didn't know you was a hunter.
00:38:58Neither did I.
00:39:00We got a little cabin up in the south woods, the boys and me.
00:39:04And I'm telling you, Marty boy, we're going up there this weekend,
00:39:07and I'm gonna get so roaring, stinking, no good drunk,
00:39:12I won't be able to see.
00:39:15Hey, why don't you come with us?
00:39:16It'll do you some good.
00:39:18Oh, I don't think Martha figured that way.
00:39:22Do you have to tell your old woman everything?
00:39:24Tell her you got to see your sick friend.
00:39:26Tell her your uncle died.
00:39:28Tell her you're going away so you can love her more when you get back.
00:39:32Good night.
00:39:33Boy, I'm so tired of looking at the inside guts of second-hand cars,
00:39:38I could spit grease.
00:39:39You know, Marty, if I didn't get away once in a while and cut loose,
00:39:44I'd blow a gasket.
00:39:47And when I come here on Monday,
00:39:49if Mr. Johnson looks at me funny just once,
00:39:53just once!
00:39:55You know what I'm gonna do to him, Marty?
00:39:56Hey, Marty!
00:40:00Look, Steve, you keep telling me about a monster.
00:40:08I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:10All I want to do is clear this thing up.
00:40:11All right, I agree,
00:40:12but I still don't see why you had to call our folks.
00:40:14Dave, it's for you.
00:40:15What else could I do, Steve?
00:40:16Well, give us a chance to find out what happened.
00:40:18You know we didn't pair up Doc's house.
00:40:20Look, how long have you known me, Dave?
00:40:21Have I ever done anything like that before?
00:40:22All right, all right, I believe you,
00:40:24but I still don't think you're telling me all you know.
00:40:26Dave.
00:40:26Hello?
00:40:27Well, young lady,
00:40:30do you mind telling me where you've been spending the evening?
00:40:32Daddy, it's all right.
00:40:34Oh, yes, everything's fine.
00:40:35I always stop by the police station in the middle of the night
00:40:37to pick up my daughter.
00:40:39Don't you realize what this will do to me?
00:40:41Why, by morning, it will be all over town.
00:40:43Well, we were just trying to warn people.
00:40:46Why, after all, I am a principal of the high school.
00:40:50Young man, this is the last time
00:40:52you're ever going to take my daughter out.
00:40:53Steve didn't do anything wrong.
00:40:55Mr. Andrews, can you make anything out of all this?
00:40:58I can't.
00:40:59Well, take it easy, Mr. Martin.
00:41:01We'll straighten everything out.
00:41:02Hello, son.
00:41:03Dad, I saw something terrible tonight.
00:41:05And nobody will believe us.
00:41:10Mr. Martin, Mr. Andrews,
00:41:12apparently Doc Hallen's office
00:41:15was broken into by vandals tonight.
00:41:18And Steve and Jane seem to know something about it.
00:41:21Vandals?
00:41:22My daughter?
00:41:23Well, you don't think our kids were mixed up in it, do you?
00:41:27All we know is that they told us something
00:41:29had happened over at Dr. Hallen's house.
00:41:31We're not accusing anyone of what we found.
00:41:34Now, we can't be more definite
00:41:35until we contact Dr. Hallen in Johnsonville.
00:41:38Dad, it isn't vandalism.
00:41:40Dr. Hallen is dead,
00:41:41and he was killed by some sort of a monster.
00:41:45Now, I know, because I saw it, Dad.
00:41:47Lieutenant, I want you to know
00:41:50that Steve is not in the habit of telling lies.
00:41:53If he says he's not mixed up in this vandalism,
00:41:55you can be sure it's the truth.
00:41:58Did you see this thing too, Jane?
00:42:00Well...
00:42:01Well, look, folks,
00:42:15we'll all know more in the morning
00:42:16after we've called Johnsonville.
00:42:18I think the best thing now
00:42:20is for all of us to go home and get some sleep.
00:42:22Maybe it's a good idea, son.
00:42:24We can talk about this some more at home.
00:42:25Sure, Pop.
00:42:29I'm sorry.
00:42:30Get out of the house as you can.
00:42:31I'll be over.
00:42:42Maybe Bertie's right.
00:42:45Maybe this is just a gag
00:42:47like those school fraternities were throwing last year.
00:42:50Remember how they stitched that bathing suit
00:42:52to the statue of General Hayes?
00:42:55I don't think this is a gag.
00:42:59Why didn't you book the kids in?
00:43:02Why make a big thing of it tonight
00:43:04if we can clear the whole thing up tomorrow?
00:43:07Boy, if it was Bertie,
00:43:08he'd have them strung up with the thumbs by now.
00:43:11Maybe he would.
00:43:17Police department.
00:43:19Hold on.
00:43:20It's Bertie.
00:43:25Hello?
00:43:26Dave.
00:43:27Yeah?
00:43:28I checked around the neighborhood.
00:43:29A couple people thought they heard shots,
00:43:31but they weren't sure.
00:43:32Okay, Jim.
00:43:33Doc's place locked up?
00:43:34Yeah.
00:43:35Check back in then.
00:43:36Right.
00:43:37We'll get the truth out of those kids
00:43:38if it takes all night.
00:43:40I sent the kids home.
00:43:42Home?
00:43:42Are you crazy?
00:43:44Jim,
00:43:45we'll take care of this whole thing tomorrow.
00:43:47Yes, sir.
00:43:48Is that all?
00:43:49Yes, that's all.
00:43:53Bertie got some idea what this is?
00:43:55I don't care what Bertie's ideas are.
00:43:57He acts like he was still fighting the war.
00:44:00Just because some kid smacks into his wife on the turnpike
00:44:03doesn't make it a crime to be 17 years old.
00:44:10Okay, so I don't know what the kids are up to tonight,
00:44:13but I'm not gonna throw them into a cell
00:44:15like a couple of vagrants.
00:44:16We'll put this puzzle together in the morning.
00:44:19In the meantime,
00:44:20at least we know where the kids are.
00:44:35Hey, where are you going?
00:44:37Oh, shh, Danny.
00:44:38Shh, shh.
00:44:40Where are you going?
00:44:41I've got something very important to do, Danny,
00:44:44but it's gotta be a secret.
00:44:45I won't tell anybody.
00:44:47I'll go with you.
00:44:50No, honey, I have to go by myself.
00:44:52Will you be back pretty soon?
00:44:55Well, I don't know.
00:44:57Aren't you afraid to go out by yourself?
00:45:00Yes, I guess I am, Danny.
00:45:02I'm not afraid.
00:45:04I'll guard you.
00:45:06Oh, no, Danny.
00:45:07You've got a bigger job to do.
00:45:09You've got to stay here and guard Mommy and Daddy.
00:45:10Aw, thank you, Danny.
00:45:12Oh, look, Danny, go on to bed.
00:45:15Look, if you go to bed,
00:45:16I might bring you a little dog all of your very own.
00:45:20A dog?
00:45:21Honest?
00:45:21Honest.
00:45:22I've crossed my heart.
00:45:23Oh, boy!
00:45:25Now, shh.
00:45:25Go on up to bed.
00:45:29What's his name?
00:45:30Oh, any name you want, Danny.
00:45:32Can I name him William?
00:45:34Oh, that's a fine name, Danny.
00:45:36Now, you better run on up to bed.
00:45:38Go on.
00:45:40Oh, I don't like William.
00:45:43You run on to bed, Annie.
00:45:48Steve.
00:45:49Steve?
00:45:58Is he asleep?
00:45:59Yes.
00:46:01Do you think he did something wrong?
00:46:03Well, I don't know.
00:46:04I don't think so.
00:46:05And apparently, the police told either
00:46:06or they wouldn't have sent him home.
00:46:09I felt that he was keeping something from us.
00:46:12Yes, he did seem more willing to talk
00:46:14when we were at the police station.
00:46:16Well, I think that tomorrow, if he and I talk,
00:46:18we'll straighten this out.
00:46:20Maybe.
00:46:21After a good night's sleep.
00:46:23Yeah.
00:46:25Good night.
00:46:26Night, dear.
00:46:33Good night.
00:46:59Good night.
00:46:59You scared me to death. What are you doing here?
00:47:04Listen, Jane, I told you to wait over there.
00:47:06Well, the folks went right to bed, so I came on out.
00:47:07I didn't see you, so I thought I should just come on over.
00:47:09All right, come on. Let's go around the corner.
00:47:23Steve?
00:47:24Huh? Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:26At least I could have done is thank you for coming out tonight.
00:47:30You didn't need to.
00:47:31I never needed to talk to anyone before, not as much as I do now.
00:47:36Well, we're in this together, aren't we, Steve?
00:47:40You know, I wish that we'd...
00:47:44I must be getting confused.
00:47:50I know we saw the old man.
00:47:52I know we took him to the docks,
00:47:54and I know the docks sent us out to see if we could find out what happened.
00:47:56It's all right.
00:48:00And I know the old man had something on his hand,
00:48:02something he couldn't get off.
00:48:04Something that kept getting larger.
00:48:05Oh, my God.
00:48:08And then I...
00:48:10I think I saw the doc.
00:48:13He was standing by the window, and he was...
00:48:15He was trying to get out.
00:48:18And that thing was all over him.
00:48:20And then he just dissolved while I stood there.
00:48:25I think I saw this.
00:48:30I believe you did.
00:48:31You know, plenty of people in their right minds thought they saw things that didn't exist.
00:48:45You know, like flying saucers.
00:48:47The light was just right in the angle and the imagination.
00:48:53Oh, boy, if that's what it is, then this is just an ordinary night.
00:48:57And you and I are going to go home and go to sleep,
00:48:59and tomorrow when we get up, that sun's going to shine.
00:49:02Well, just like yesterday, but oh, yesterday.
00:49:07Steve.
00:49:09Well, you believe you did see it, don't you?
00:49:12I don't know.
00:49:13I, I...
00:49:14That's not true, Steve.
00:49:17Well, maybe, maybe now you, you don't want to believe it.
00:49:21Maybe you'd like to tell yourself it didn't happen.
00:49:25Steve, you're not the kind of person that can turn your back on something you know is true.
00:49:29Well, you actually did see what happened to Dr. Hallam.
00:49:36How do you know I did?
00:49:40Because I know you.
00:49:49Okay.
00:49:52Well, now what do we do?
00:49:54How do you get people to protect themselves from something they don't believe in?
00:49:57Well, you keep trying.
00:49:59And, and hoping you can find some sort of proof that'll convince them.
00:50:06Okay.
00:50:07I mean, I don't like it much.
00:50:09But I guess the only way you can find that is to go out and look for it.
00:50:15I'll go get the car.
00:50:16I'll go out and look in the car, though.
00:50:19I don't like it.
00:50:23You otherwise
00:50:45Do you want to go with me?
00:51:11Yes.
00:51:13I wouldn't give much for our chances.
00:51:15You know, one day around the middle of the night trying to find something that if we found it, it might kill us.
00:51:21If we could only find a couple people to help us.
00:51:25Who?
00:51:27Well, your friends, Tony, Mooch, and Al.
00:51:31Hey, you know, that's worth a try.
00:51:44Yes.
00:51:44I am here, the demon who possesses your soul.
00:51:52Wait a bit.
00:51:54I am coming for you.
00:51:57I have so much to show you.
00:52:00Tony, listen, I want to see you outside.
00:52:02Hey, what gives?
00:52:03I thought you cats didn't dig spooky shows.
00:52:05Tony, this is important.
00:52:06Outside.
00:52:07Hey, what's up?
00:52:08I'll explain outside.
00:52:11Now, this is important.
00:52:12You missed most of the picture.
00:52:13You're not going to get your money's worth.
00:52:15None of us are, unless somebody keeps quiet.
00:52:18Well, look, you've got to come with us.
00:52:20There's nobody else we can go to.
00:52:21Okay, you kids, knock it off.
00:52:24Come on.
00:52:25What, walk out of the movie?
00:52:27Let's cut out.
00:52:28The cat's going to make it?
00:52:29Oh, God, not me.
00:52:30I'm part of this chair and I can't move.
00:52:48Hey, all right, all right, Steve.
00:52:49You made us waste our 80 cents.
00:52:51Now, what gives?
00:52:52Yeah, what's the scoop?
00:52:53Yeah, what's the big idea, Steve?
00:53:00Would you believe me if I told you there was something inside of that rock we found tonight?
00:53:04Something that could wipe out this whole town?
00:53:06Oh, come on, Steve.
00:53:09Hey, knock it off.
00:53:11Go ahead, Steve.
00:53:13I saw this thing kill Dr. Holland tonight.
00:53:16Kill Dr. Holland?
00:53:17Come on.
00:53:18That's right.
00:53:19Well, what is it?
00:53:21I don't know.
00:53:23But one thing's for sure.
00:53:25If it can kill Dr. Holland, it can kill somebody else.
00:53:28What do you want us to do, Steve?
00:53:30All right.
00:53:32We're going to find this thing and we're going to make people believe us.
00:53:37Let's try a Johnson bill again, Richie.
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:41Just saw a strange one.
00:53:43What do you mean?
00:53:46Well, on my way back here,
00:53:48I ran into Mr. Conner's coming out of that bar in the building he owns over on 2nd Street.
00:53:53He just stopped in there and there was nobody there.
00:53:56The queerest thing I've ever seen.
00:53:58TV was playing away.
00:53:59The cash register was sitting there with all the money still in it.
00:54:02Nobody around.
00:54:03No bartender, nobody.
00:54:04Oh, look in there on the way home.
00:54:08Forget it.
00:54:09The place is all locked up now.
00:54:11Why don't you go home and get some shut-eye?
00:54:13You can't run our shift in U.S. too, you know.
00:54:15Yeah, I know.
00:54:17I wish I knew where those two doctors were, though.
00:54:21Any luck, Richie?
00:54:21Nope.
00:54:23They're not there.
00:54:25You want me to call the other hotels?
00:54:27There's a lot of them between here and Johnsonville.
00:54:30Well, I guess you're right.
00:54:33I guess there's nothing here that won't wait till morning.
00:54:36Well, I'll see you guys.
00:54:39Night.
00:54:40Night.
00:54:40Night.
00:54:40Night.
00:54:49Whoa!
00:54:50Hello, Kess.
00:54:51Come on in.
00:54:52You're just in time for the fun.
00:54:54Look, we came to warn you.
00:54:56Uh-huh.
00:54:57We came here just to warn you.
00:54:59Oh, a warning!
00:55:00Well, that's fine.
00:55:01I didn't know you cared.
00:55:03Hey, folks.
00:55:04Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:55:06Now, I want you to meet Paul Revere.
00:55:09And this is Mrs. Revere.
00:55:11They've come to give us a warning about something important.
00:55:15The British are coming.
00:55:17Yes, that's true.
00:55:39Excuse me. We were just... just looking for a monster.
00:55:53Monsters? You must have been talking to that guy cruised in here from 2nd Street.
00:55:59Man, I don't know what they're serving over there tonight.
00:56:02It sure must be great stuff.
00:56:04Listen, listen, we're trying to tell you we don't want to get...
00:56:06No! I have monsters in here all the time, so beat it.
00:56:10We don't serve kids anyway.
00:56:14Where is he?
00:56:15Over there, in the doorway of your dad's store.
00:56:24Come on. Come on.
00:56:26Hey!
00:56:29That's funny. The door's not locked.
00:56:32Do you think it's been open all night?
00:56:34Well, I don't know. This is Friday.
00:56:37The store closes at 10, you know, and then old Mr. Wittemeyer sweeps up...
00:56:40and then he collects all the push cards.
00:56:43You know, he works around for a couple of hours before he locks up, but...
00:56:46I'm sure he'd never be this late, and I...
00:56:58Hey, Mr. Wittemeyer.
00:57:04Hey, Mr. Wittemeyer, where are you?
00:57:13I'm gonna turn on the light.
00:57:19Steve, what is it?
00:57:25I don't know.
00:57:26Oh, the broom and stuff that Mr. Wittemeyer cleans up with.
00:57:30It's spread all over the aisle.
00:57:41What's the matter?
00:57:42Jane!
00:57:43Jane!
00:58:04Jane!
00:58:05Jane!

00:58:38Our parents.
00:58:39They groaned in Venice.

00:59:39Oh, Steve, the little dog.
00:59:41Don't cry, Jane.
00:59:42There's nothing we can do about it.
00:59:43Oh.
00:59:44Oh.
00:59:45Oh.
00:59:46Oh.
00:59:47Oh.
00:59:48Oh.

00:59:59Oh.
01:00:00Oh.
01:00:01Oh.
01:00:02Oh.
01:00:03Oh.
01:00:04Oh.
01:00:05Now, you just put this on.
01:00:06It'll be all right.
01:00:08Oh.
01:00:09Steve, what are we going to do?
01:00:13I don't know.
01:00:15That thing probably isn't far away.
01:00:17Now, we've got to get out of here.
01:00:19Where it comes back for us.
01:00:20Now, come on.
01:00:22All right?
01:00:23No.
01:00:24Let's go.
01:00:25We've got to get out of here.
01:00:25Oh.
01:00:26Oh.
01:00:27Oh.
01:00:28Oh.
01:00:29Oh.
01:00:30Oh.
01:00:50Oh.
01:00:51Oh.
01:01:52Hey, where have your kids been?
01:01:56It's in there.
01:01:57It's in there.
01:01:58I wish I were kidding.
01:01:59It's in there.
01:02:00He got the little, the little dog.
01:02:01Oh, you mean the old man's dog?
01:02:02Well, we just seen him running down the street.
01:02:04Oh, Steve.
01:02:05Hey, what are we doing now?
01:02:06We're going to call the police.
01:02:07They want evidence.
01:02:08They got all the evidence they want.
01:02:09There's a corner.
01:02:09There's a corner.
01:02:16Come on.
01:02:17You talk to him, Tony.
01:02:18Me?
01:02:19Hey, why me?
01:02:19I'm supposed to be home asleep.
01:02:21If they think I'm running around loose, they'll never believe us.
01:02:23Yeah, here.
01:02:23Here, sit down.
01:02:24Come on.
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:31Hey, what'll I say?
01:02:32Ask for Dave.
01:02:33And listen, Tony, you give it to him straight.
01:02:35You tell him to get out to the store, quick.
01:02:37Tell him to bring every piece of hardware he can find in the police station.
01:02:39Hello, police department.
01:02:49Hey, who's this?
01:02:54I'll tell you.
01:02:55Is every kid in town in on this?
01:03:06Now, I don't know who this is, but let me tell you guys you wish you never thought of this.
01:03:10Hello?
01:03:11Hello?
01:03:14Big deal, boy.
01:03:15Boy, like to take that down.
01:03:16Bert the Schmerz?
01:03:17Yeah.
01:03:17Wouldn't you know it?
01:03:18Oh.
01:03:18All right.
01:03:22We tried to do it the right way.
01:03:23Now we're going to wake this town up ourselves.
01:03:25Yeah, yeah, but how?
01:03:26Yeah, how?
01:03:28Any way we can think of.
01:03:30We've got to stop being a babysitting service and start being a police department.
01:03:35Just kids, Jim.
01:03:36Just kids.
01:03:37That's about the craziest argument I've ever heard.
01:03:40Every gremlin in the world was a kid once.
01:03:42What does it prove?
01:03:46You know what I think?
01:03:47I think they've got it in for me.
01:03:51You?
01:03:51Yeah.
01:03:53They've heard about my war record and it bugs them.
01:03:56They're trying to break me down, see what makes me tick.
01:03:59Anything they can try, they try.
01:04:02No, I don't think so, Jim.
01:04:10What the?
01:04:11Sounds like New Year's Eve.
01:04:17What's going on here?
01:04:39Well, that's an air raid.
01:04:46Come on.
01:04:48Hurry up.
01:04:48Just hold together.
01:04:50Oh, it's probably only...
01:04:52No, maybe it's the real thing.
01:04:53It isn't a drill.
01:04:54Where is my civil defense helmet?
01:04:58Where is it?
01:05:00Yeah.
01:05:00Get together and I'll keep going.
01:05:03That's right.
01:05:04Here we go.
01:05:09Fire!
01:05:13This has never happened before.
01:05:14What am I going to wear?
01:05:15Henry, Danny's gone.
01:05:28What?
01:05:30And Jane, too.
01:05:37Well, now, calm down, Elizabeth.
01:05:39I looked in both their rooms.
01:05:40They're both gone.
01:05:41Are you sure?
01:05:42Yes.
01:05:42Yes.
01:05:43Well, maybe they're down here.
01:05:48Here, Danny.
01:05:51Danny!
01:05:54What are you doing here?
01:05:57I'm guarding you.
01:06:00Guarding us?
01:06:02Guarding us against what, darling?
01:06:06I don't know.
01:06:07Has everyone in this fool town gone crazy?
01:06:10Danny, do you know where Janey is?
01:06:13She's just gone.
01:06:16I'm going to get to the bottom of this right now.
01:06:19Come on, Elizabeth.
01:06:33All right, now, kill the horns.
01:06:35Kill the horns.
01:06:37All right, knock off the noise now.
01:06:43Listen.
01:06:44Listen to me.
01:06:45Now, listen to me, everybody.
01:06:48This town is in danger.
01:06:50Now, several people have been killed already.
01:06:52Now, we had to make this noise.
01:06:54We had to make it so you'd listen to us,
01:06:57so we could warn you.
01:06:58If we're in trouble, where are the police?
01:07:00You.
01:07:00Boy, this time you've really hung yourself.
01:07:12Now, look.
01:07:13Now, look, Sarge.
01:07:14Just give me a chance to talk to them.
01:07:16That's all.
01:07:16I don't know what kind of a game it is you're playing, kid,
01:07:19but whatever it is, it's going to stop right now.
01:07:21Here comes Dave.
01:07:23What's going on here, Jim?
01:07:25Steve.
01:07:26Dave.
01:07:27Make them listen to me.
01:07:28There is a monster.
01:07:29We saw it again at Dad's store.
01:07:32Dave, it's bigger now.
01:07:33Your story's gotten bigger now, kid.
01:07:37Dave, look at me.
01:07:39Do I look like somebody's playing a practical joke?
01:07:41Am I laughing?
01:07:43Or am I scared still?
01:07:46What are you going to do?
01:07:49He's telling the truth.
01:07:50Now, wait a minute.
01:07:51It's one thing to make a fool out of yourself,
01:07:53but it's another thing to make a fool out of the police department
01:07:55and the whole town.
01:07:56He's right, Lieutenant.
01:07:58You've been wrong before.
01:08:00Maybe I have.
01:08:00But as long as I'm in charge of this town's police force,
01:08:04I'm going to handle this thing the way I see fit.
01:08:06And your job right now is to help me restore some order around here.
01:08:10Yes, sir.
01:08:13Okay, everybody, quiet down now.
01:08:16Quiet down, please!
01:08:18Listen.
01:08:19This is an emergency.
01:08:22And it can affect every one of us.
01:08:24That's all I can tell you right now.
01:08:27But we're trying to get things under control.
01:08:29In order to do that,
01:08:30we have to clear this area immediately.
01:08:33So please go home and stay there.
01:08:35We'll keep in touch with you through your radio station.
01:08:39Now, be careful pulling your cars out of this area.
01:08:42Go home slowly and quietly.
01:08:44Just keep calm.
01:08:45Everything's going to be all right.
01:08:47Anything I can do to help you, Dave?
01:08:53Lieutenant, what's going on?
01:08:55Ask your daughter, Mr. Martin.
01:08:56She can tell you more than I can.
01:08:58Bill, can you boys give us a hand clearing this area?
01:09:00Sure.
01:09:01Do you have any guns?
01:09:02A couple of them.
01:09:03Get them.
01:09:04Say, Dave, what is this thing that our kids are talking about?
01:09:07I don't know.
01:09:08But if it's in the market, we'll all know in a few minutes.
01:09:10Now all the images of horror, the demons of your mind,
01:09:17crowd in on you to destroy you.
01:09:19I don't know.
01:09:49I don't know.
01:10:09Hey.
01:10:12Hey.
01:10:16Hey.
01:10:17Hey.
01:10:19Hey.
01:10:19Bill, can you move your truck over to the door and shine your big light into the market?
01:10:39Sure, Dave.
01:10:40Right.
01:10:42What?
01:10:45Hey, who's in the store?
01:10:48Huh?
01:10:49There's nobody in here but us monsters.
01:11:08Dave, the theater.
01:11:10Don't go in, Jim.
01:11:23This won't do any good.
01:11:39It's the most horrible thing I've ever seen in my life.
01:11:41You see what I think?
01:11:42Come on.
01:11:42We've got to clear this area.
01:11:44All right, sit back.
01:11:47Everybody, sit back.
01:11:48Here we go.
01:12:00Daddy!
01:12:01Daddy!
01:12:05Daddy!
01:12:07No, Daddy, wait!
01:12:19Daddy!
01:12:26No, Daddy, wait!
01:12:30What goes? What happened out there? What?
01:12:33Oh, I don't want to stop. No, Daddy. Daddy, we can't see her. Come with me, Daddy.
01:12:37Now, listen. It's too late.
01:12:39He's ripping me off.
01:12:46What happened?
01:12:47It's all over.
01:12:48What do you mean it's all over?
01:12:49Take it easy.
01:12:50What's the matter?
01:12:53Jim, get the telephone company. I'll connect you with the diner. Fast.
01:12:58I'm going to get out of here.
01:13:00Now, wait a minute. You open that door and we've had it. You understand? You want to die?
01:13:04Are you supposed to be here?
01:13:05You want to die?
01:13:18Hello?
01:13:19Steve?
01:13:20Yeah. Hey, listen. This thing's all over, is it?
01:13:22What?
01:13:23I don't think it can be killed, Steve, but we've got to try one more thing.
01:13:26Oh, okay.
01:13:27Is everybody all right?
01:13:28Okay, but not too long.
01:13:29We can drop a power line on it. You understand?
01:13:31Yeah.
01:13:32There should be enough juice in that line to burn the thing to a crisp. Yeah. Get everyone down the cellar. We'll do it in 60 seconds, Steve.
01:13:42Cellar.
01:13:44Okay.
01:13:59Jim.
01:14:00Use the right phone.
01:14:01Take the phone, Richie.
01:14:02All right.
01:14:03Dave.
01:14:04Here's the baby. Do the trick. It's all set to go.
01:14:06Try not to miss, Jim.
01:14:12Okay, let's have those lights.
01:14:34Fifteen seconds.
01:14:42It's quiet now.
01:14:45I think the upstairs is clear.
01:14:47Good. Keep your ear to that phone, Richie.
01:14:52Okay, Jim.
01:14:53Good.
01:15:10It didn't work.
01:15:12Why don't you do something? Do something!
01:15:14Stop!
01:15:22The diner's on fire.
01:15:24Well, can we put it out?
01:15:27Any suggestions, Hal?
01:15:30Anyway, not enough oxygen in the air to keep a fire going for ten minutes.
01:15:35There's something burning.
01:15:42Now, listen. Is there any other way out of here?
01:15:57The windows.
01:15:58The windows.
01:16:14Hey. Now, you be quiet.
01:16:16Shh.
01:16:17I'm not afraid.
01:16:19Well, I know you're not.
01:16:21Hey, listen, Jane.
01:16:25It'll be all right.
01:16:27Honey, lay your head down and try to go to sleep.
01:16:31Everything will be all right, Nanny.
01:16:56Hey!
01:17:00Hey! Where's the fire and blast off?
01:17:01Hey!
01:17:02Hey!
01:17:03Hey!
01:17:04Hey!
01:17:05Hey!
01:17:06Hey!
01:17:23Hey!
01:17:24Hey!
01:17:25Wait a minute. Let me have that a minute.
01:17:35CO2. Hey, that's it. It's cold.
01:17:39That's why it didn't come in the icebox after us. It can't stand cold.
01:17:52You got any more of these things?
01:17:54No.
01:17:54Huh?
01:17:55Nothing's running out.
01:17:58The phone.
01:17:59Hey, Dave! Hey, Dave!
01:18:02Hey, Dave! Anybody on the phone?
01:18:04Hey, Dave! Dave, can you hear me? CO2!
01:18:09Dave!
01:18:13Ow! What's up?
01:18:14Quiet!
01:18:17CO2?
01:18:19Phil! Phil, you got any CO2 extinguishers?
01:18:23Not many. Some sort of acid.
01:18:24Well, get the CO2s out here and start hitting around those cellar windows.
01:18:28What?
01:18:28Just do it, Phil, and have your men check these buildings for fire extinguishers, but only the CO2 kind. Bring back everyone you can get your hands on and hurry!
01:18:36All right. Okay. Hey, maybe we can help. Let's get some of the guys together, huh?
01:18:39Lieutenant, I know where there are 20 extinguishers of that type.
01:18:42Good. Where?
01:18:44At the high school. Who can go with me?
01:18:45Hey, right here, Mr. Martin.
01:18:47Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
01:18:48Okay, hey, let's go!
