00:03:10HIGH

00:03:11SALLY

00:03:13WELCOME

00:03:15WELCOME HOME

00:03:17I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK

00:03:18HOW'S MICKEY AND THE BABY

00:03:19THEY'RE FINE

00:03:20BUT THEY'RE FINE

00:03:21BUT EVERYBODY ELSE

00:03:22IN SAN MIRA NEEDS A DOCTOR

00:03:24WE'VE GOT AN OFFICE

00:03:26FULL OF PATIENT

00:03:28AND MY FIRST DAY BACK

00:03:30SOME OF THEM BEEN WAITING

00:03:32FOR 2 WEEKS

00:03:34WHY WON'T YOU SEND THEM

00:03:35TO PERCY OR CARMICLE

00:03:36LIKE I TOLD YOU TO

00:03:37What's the matter with you?

00:03:39They wouldn't say.

00:03:41You know, usually people can't talk enough about what's ailing them.

00:03:44For instance, Wally Eberhardt was in twice and called three times about something,

00:03:48but he wouldn't tell me what it was.

00:03:50It's funny.

00:03:51Neither would anyone else, from Becky Driscoll down to that fat traffic cop, Sam Jancic.

00:03:55Becky Driscoll?

00:03:57I thought she was in England.

00:03:59She got back a few days ago and she wanted to see you.

00:04:03Are you still interested?

00:04:05My interest in married women is strictly professional,

00:04:08or yours would have been a lost cause long ago.

00:04:10How was the convention?

00:04:12Wonderful.

00:04:13They wept with envy when I read my paper.

00:04:20Jimmy!

00:04:22What's the matter, Mrs. Grimaldi?

00:04:25It's nothing. He just don't want to go to school.

00:04:30Well, if I were you, I'd have a talk with his teacher.

00:04:34Yeah, I will, when I get time.

00:04:36What's the matter, has Joe been sick?

00:04:37No, we gained a stand up.

00:04:40Too much work.

00:04:41Oh.

00:04:42The boy's panic should have told me it was more than school he was afraid of.

00:04:45And that littered, closed-up vegetable stand should have told me something too.

00:04:49When I last saw it, less than a month ago, it was the cleanest and busiest stand on the road.

00:04:53That's strange.

00:04:55She was in to see you too, last Friday.

00:04:58And I tried to get her to go see Doc Percy, but she wouldn't.

00:05:01She said only you could help her.

00:05:03Well, whatever it was, it couldn't have been too serious, I guess.

00:05:06One minor concussion, two cases of the common cold, and six canceled appointments.

00:05:15Looks like you rushed me here for nothing.

00:05:17I don't understand it, Miles.

00:05:19They couldn't wait to see you.

00:05:20But you're still booked up solid for the afternoon.

00:05:23I bet they don't show.

00:05:24Look.

00:05:25There's Wally Eberhardt talking somebody into buying some insurance.

00:05:28There's nothing wrong with him.

00:05:30And Bill Bittner's taking his secretary to lunch.

00:05:33And speaking of lunch, will you tell whoever that is that I'm out having mine?

00:05:36Is Dr. Pennell in?

00:05:38Uh, yes, he's here.

00:05:40Do you suppose he has time to see me a moment?

00:05:42Well, if he hasn't, there's something wrong with him.

00:05:44Go right in.

00:05:48Becky.

00:05:50Almost five years.

00:05:52It's wonderful to be home again.

00:05:53Been away so long, I feel almost like a stranger in my own country.

00:05:58I hope you don't mind my coming without an appointment.

00:06:00Not at all.

00:06:01What'll you have?

00:06:02We're pushing appendectomies this week.

00:06:04Oh, Miles.

00:06:05I don't know.

00:06:06Maybe I climb around too much.

00:06:08Pretty soon my patients won't trust me to prescribe aspirin for them.

00:06:11Now, seriously, what's the trouble?

00:06:14It's my cousin.

00:06:15Wilma?

00:06:16What's the matter with her?

00:06:18She has a, well, I guess you'd call it a dilution.

00:06:22You know her uncle, Uncle Ira.

00:06:25Sure.

00:06:26I'm his doctor.

00:06:27Well, Miles, she's got herself thinking he isn't her uncle.

00:06:30How do you mean?

00:06:31That they're not really related?

00:06:32No, she thinks he's an impostor or something.

00:06:34Someone who only looks like Ira.

00:06:36Have you seen him?

00:06:37I just came from there.

00:06:39Well, is he Uncle Ira or isn't he Uncle Ira?

00:06:42Of course he is.

00:06:43I told Wilma that, but it was no use.

00:06:46Please, would you stop by and have a talk with her?

00:06:48Well, Sally says that I'm booked up for the afternoon,

00:06:50but why don't you ask her to come in and see me?

00:06:52I've tried.

00:06:56How about some lunch?

00:06:57I can't.

00:06:58I'm meeting Dad at the store.

00:07:05When did you get back?

00:07:06I came back from London two months ago.

00:07:08I've been in Reno.

00:07:10Reno?

00:07:11Reno.

00:07:12Dad tells me you were there too.

00:07:15Five months ago.

00:07:16Oh, I'm sorry.

00:07:17So was I.

00:07:19I wanted it to work.

00:07:22Well, I guess that makes us Lodge brothers now.

00:07:25Yes.

00:07:26Except that I'm paying dues while you collect them.

00:07:29Miles.

00:07:39Hello, George.

00:07:40How are you?

00:07:41How are you?

00:07:42Sam.

00:07:43Hello, Doc.

00:07:44Had it again, eh?

00:07:45My nurse tells me you were in last week and wanted very much to see me.

00:07:48It wasn't anything important.

00:07:52Say, didn't you go to college with us?

00:07:54Quit his second year to get married.

00:07:56Like I wanted us to do.

00:07:58Just be thankful I didn't take you seriously.

00:08:00You be thankful.

00:08:02I found out that a doctor's wife needs the understanding of an Einstein

00:08:05and the patience of a saint.

00:08:07And love?

00:08:08I wouldn't know about that.

00:08:10I'm just a general practitioner.

00:08:13Love is handled by the specialists.

00:08:15Well, here's where I leave you.

00:08:18You know something?

00:08:19This is where you left me the last time.

00:08:22I'm going to go.

00:08:23I'm going to go.

00:08:24Hiya, Johnny.

00:08:32Sally.

00:08:33I'm off.

00:08:34Will you tell the answering service I'll be at home?

00:08:36Good night, Doc.

00:08:37Good night.

00:08:38May I come right in here?

00:08:39Come on, Jimmy.

00:08:40Stop all this nonsense and be a good boy.

00:08:42Come on.

00:08:43Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:08:44Take it easy.

00:08:46Isn't this Jimmy Grimaldi?

00:08:47Yes, Doctor.

00:08:48Can I talk to you a minute?

00:08:49Sure.

00:08:50You know I almost ran you down this morning.

00:08:51You've got to be careful when you run out the road there.

00:08:52Don't run me down.

00:08:53Come on.

00:08:54Come on.

00:08:55Come on.

00:09:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:09:03Slow down now.

00:09:04Look, school isn't as bad as all that.

00:09:06It can't be.

00:09:07School isn't what upsets him.

00:09:08It's my daughter-in-law.

00:09:09He's got the crazy idea she isn't his mother.

00:09:11She isn't.

00:09:12She isn't.

00:09:13Don't let her get me.

00:09:14Nobody's going to get you, Jimmy.

00:09:24How long has this been going on?

00:09:25An hour ago, I found him hiding in the cellar having hysterics.

00:09:28He wouldn't tell me anything until I started to phone his mother.

00:09:31That's when he said Anna wasn't his mother.

00:09:33Could you keep him with you for a day or so?

00:09:35Of course.

00:09:36Give him one of these every four hours during the day.

00:09:38Then call me tomorrow and let me know how he's feeling.

00:09:40Yes, Doctor.

00:09:42Don't let her get me.

00:09:44Nobody's going to get you, Jimmy.

00:09:53All right, Jimmy.

00:09:55Open your mouth.

00:09:56Shut your eyes.

00:09:58In the words of the poet, I'll give you something to make you wise.

00:10:01That's a good boy, Jimmy.

00:10:04I'm not going home.

00:10:06You're going to stay at your grandmother's house.

00:10:08Would you call his mother and tell her...

00:10:09She know my mother didn't tell me what I have.

00:10:11All right, all right, all right.

00:10:12Run along.

00:10:13Everything's going to be all right.

00:10:14You be a good boy now.

00:10:15Come on.

00:10:16Good night, Doctor.

00:10:17Good night.

00:10:18Sally, I've changed my mind.

00:10:20I'm not going directly home.

00:10:22I'm going to stop off and see Wilma Lentz.

00:10:23Should I call the boy's mother?

00:10:25Yes.

00:10:26Call her and tell her what happened and that I suggested.

00:10:27It might be a good idea if the boy spend the night at his grandmother's house.

00:10:39Hello, Miles.

00:10:40Nice to see you, Wilma.

00:10:43Let's have it.

00:10:44You talk to him.

00:10:45What do you think?

00:10:46It's him.

00:10:47He's your Uncle Ira, all right.

00:10:49He is not.

00:10:51How is he different?

00:10:52That's just it.

00:10:53There is no difference.

00:10:54You can actually see.

00:10:55He looks, sounds, acts and remembers like Uncle Ira.

00:10:56Then he is your Uncle Ira.

00:10:57Can't you see that?

00:10:58No matter how you feel, he is.

00:10:59But he isn't.

00:11:00There's something missing.

00:11:01He's been a father to me since I was a baby.

00:11:02Always when he talked to me, there was a special look in his eye.

00:11:08That looks gone.

00:11:10What about memories?

00:11:11There must be certain things that only you and he would know about.

00:11:13Oh, there are.

00:11:14I've talked to him about them.

00:11:15He remembers them all down to the last small detail.

00:11:17Just like Uncle Ira would.

00:11:18But Miles.

00:11:19There's no emotion.

00:11:20None.

00:11:21Just the pretense of it.

00:11:22The words, gesture, the tone of voice.

00:11:23Everything else is the same.

00:11:24But not the feeling.

00:11:25No.

00:11:26No.

00:11:27No.

00:11:28No.

00:11:29No.

00:11:30No.

00:11:31No.

00:11:32No.

00:11:33No.

00:11:34No.

00:11:35No.

00:11:36No.

00:11:37No.

00:11:38No.

00:11:39No.

00:11:40No.

00:11:41No.

00:11:42No.

00:11:43No.

00:11:44No.

00:11:45No.

00:11:46No.

00:11:47No.

00:11:48No.

00:11:49No.

00:11:50No.

00:11:51No.

00:11:52No.

00:11:53No.

00:11:54No.

00:11:55No.

00:11:56No.

00:11:57No.

00:11:58No.

00:11:59No.

00:12:00No.

00:12:01No.

00:12:02No.

00:12:03No.

00:12:04No.

00:12:05No.

00:12:06No.

00:12:07No.

00:12:08No.

00:12:09No.

00:12:10No.

00:12:11No.

00:12:12No.

00:12:13The trouble is inside you.

00:12:15Wilma, where are you?

00:12:18Out on the lawn.

00:12:20Say nothing to her.

00:12:22Why, Miles, I didn't know you were here.

00:12:25Welcome home.

00:12:26Hello, Mrs. Lentz.

00:12:27Did you ask Miles to stay for dinner?

00:12:29Can't tonight.

00:12:30I'm making spoon bread.

00:12:31Please, don't tempt me.

00:12:33Well, maybe next time.

00:12:35Wilma, where are my glasses?

00:12:37I think I saw them on the mantelpiece.

00:12:38I'll go with you.

00:12:43Miles, am I going crazy?

00:12:53Don't spare me.

00:12:54I've got to know.

00:12:55No, you're not.

00:12:56Even these days, it isn't as easy to go crazy as you might think.

00:13:00But you don't have to be losing your mind to need psychiatric help.

00:13:04I'd like you to see a doctor friend of mine.

00:13:07Psychiatrist?

00:13:08Dan Colton.

00:13:10I'll make an appointment for you tomorrow.

00:13:13All right.

00:13:16But it's a waste of time.

00:13:18There's nothing wrong with me.

00:13:24We'd better break this up or he'll start wondering.

00:13:28Wondering what?

00:13:30If I don't suspect.

00:13:31You've been a big help.

00:13:32And I don't want you to worry about me.

00:13:34Or you either.

00:13:35I'll be all right.

00:13:36Sure, you will.

00:13:38Staying here, Becky, or may I drive you home?

00:13:40Would you like me to stay?

00:13:41Of course not.

00:13:42Good night.

00:13:44Good night.

00:13:56Nice having Becky back again, eh, boy?

00:13:58Sure is.

00:13:59Good night.

00:14:05In the back of my mind, a warning bell was ringing.

00:14:08Sick people who couldn't wait to see me then suddenly were perfectly all right.

00:14:12A boy who said his mother wasn't his mother.

00:14:14A woman who said her uncle wasn't her uncle.

00:14:16But I didn't listen.

00:14:17Obviously, the boy's mother was his mother.

00:14:19I'd seen her.

00:14:20And Uncle Ira was Uncle Ira.

00:14:22There was no doubt of that after I'd talked to him.

00:14:25Mars, he is Ira.

00:14:28Of course he is.

00:14:28What do you mean?

00:14:29It's just that Wilma's so positive.

00:14:32Will she be all right?

00:14:33Oh, I think so.

00:14:35I'm a doctor, according to my diploma, but I don't really know what Wilma's trouble is.

00:14:39I could start talking psychiatric jargon, but it's out of my line and in Dan Kaufman's.

00:14:46I wish you didn't have to go home for dinner.

00:14:49I don't.

00:14:50Dad's eating out with a friend.

00:14:53I could pick you up at seven.

00:14:56Well.

00:14:57It's summer and the moon is full, and I know a bank where the wild time grows.

00:15:03You haven't changed a bit.

00:15:08Whoop!

00:15:21Whoa, watch out.

00:15:22Sorry.

00:15:22Hey, Miles, why don't you get back?

00:15:24This morning.

00:15:25How are you, Danny?

00:15:26This is Miss Driscoll, Dr. Kaufman, our one and only psychiatrist.

00:15:29How do you do?

00:15:29Watch out what you say.

00:15:30Ed, you remember Becky.

00:15:31I should.

00:15:32I brought her into the world.

00:15:33You did us all a favor.

00:15:34Hello, Dr. Percy.

00:15:35This saves me a phone call.

00:15:36I've got a mixed-up kid and a woman who need a witch doctor.

00:15:39The boy says his father isn't his father, and the woman says her sister isn't her sister.

00:15:43That's pretty close.

00:15:45I knew you'd been studying hypnosis, but when did you start reading minds?

00:15:49He doesn't have to read them.

00:15:50I've sent him a dozen patients since it started.

00:15:52Well, what is it?

00:15:53What's going on?

00:15:54I don't know.

00:15:54A strange neurosis.

00:15:56Evidently contagious.

00:15:57An epidemic mass hysteria.

00:15:59In two weeks, it spread all over town.

00:16:00Well, what causes it?

00:16:03Worry about what's going on in the world, probably.

00:16:07Make room for Wilma Lentz tomorrow, will you, Danny?

00:16:10Send her in around two.

00:16:11Good night.

00:16:12So long, Danny.

00:16:19This is the oddest thing I ever heard of.

00:16:22Let's hope we don't catch it.

00:16:24I'd hate to wake up some morning and find out that you weren't you.

00:16:27I'm not the high school kid used to romance, so how can you tell?

00:16:31You really want to know?

00:16:32Mm-hmm.

00:16:41You're Becky Driscoll.

00:16:45Hey, Santamiri's looking up.

00:16:48Has ever since you got back.

00:16:50Is this an example of your bedside manner, doctor?

00:16:53No, ma'am.

00:16:54That comes later.

00:16:57Good evening, doctor.

00:17:08What happened to the crowd tonight?

00:17:10I don't know.

00:17:11It's been this way for two or three weeks now.

00:17:14Well, at least we don't have to wait for a table.

00:17:16Well, take your pick.

00:17:17In here or here.

00:17:19Here, I think.

00:17:20Shall we?

00:17:21Mm-hmm.

00:17:23Where's the band?

00:17:24Old business started falling off, so I had to let them go.

00:17:26Oh, there's the jukebox, though.

00:17:27Shall we dance?

00:17:29I hope you didn't let the bartender go.

00:17:31I'm the bartender.

00:17:33Martinis?

00:17:33Too.

00:17:34Dry.

00:17:36Uh, very dry.

00:17:40Miles, I don't care what Dr. Kaufman says.

00:17:43I'm worried.

00:17:44You are in the capable hands of your personal physician.

00:17:47My turn.

00:17:47Oh, doctor.

00:17:48Oh, there's our evening.

00:17:52Sorry.

00:17:56Thanks.

00:17:58Dr. Bunnell.

00:18:00Jack Belichick wants you to come to his house right away, doctor.

00:18:03He says it's urgent.

00:18:08Better hold those drinks.

00:18:10Emergency.

00:18:11Well, at least they called before we ordered dinner.

00:18:14How hungry are you?

00:18:15I can wait.

00:18:16Maybe quite a while.

00:18:18I'll go with you.

00:18:19Sorry.

00:18:20We'll be back later.

00:18:37There's Jack.

00:18:38Hello, Jack.

00:18:52What's the matter?

00:18:52Teddy's sick?

00:18:53No.

00:18:55Miles, thank heaven.

00:18:56I thought you'd never get here.

00:18:57Well, if you're not sick, who is?

00:18:58Nobody.

00:19:00Well, then why did you drag me away from my dinner?

00:19:02Well, you won't believe it, Miles, until you see it for yourself.

00:19:04Hello, Becky.

00:19:05Good to see you again.

00:19:06Hi, Becky.

00:19:06Good morning.

00:19:06Hi, Jack.

00:19:07Hi, Nick.

00:19:08Would you be able to forget that you're a doctor for a while?

00:19:15Why?

00:19:15I don't want you to call the police right away.

00:19:18Quit acting like a writer.

00:19:19What's going on?

00:19:20Maybe you can tell me.

00:19:21You're the doctor.

00:19:33Miles, put the light on over the pool table.

00:19:35Go on, pull it down.

00:19:49Go on, pull it down.

00:19:49Come on.

00:19:50Go on, pull it down.

00:19:50Come on.

00:19:51Go on, pull it down.

00:19:52I want some ch machines to come in.

00:19:53Come on.

00:19:54Pass it down.

00:19:55Come on.

00:19:56Go on, pull it down.

00:19:56Go on.

00:19:56Get on my Kung Paxton.

00:19:57Take on your way too.

00:19:59Go on, pull it down.

00:20:07Move it down.

00:20:08Get on me, pull it down.

00:20:09Lift your twin.

00:20:10Go on, pull it down.

00:20:11Get on me, come on.

00:20:12Move your foot away.

00:20:12Go on, pull it down.

00:20:13Pull it down.

00:20:14socioeitarian无 family on you, come on DVD.

00:20:15Don't go back.

00:20:16I'll take a short emergencia of serviceTime.

00:20:17Pull it down your foot there.

00:20:18Well, what do you make of it?

00:20:37Who is he?

00:20:39I have no idea.

00:20:40It's fake, Miles.

00:20:48It's fake.

00:20:50It's like the first impression that's stamped on a coin.

00:20:53It isn't finished.

00:20:54You're right.

00:20:55There's all the features, but no details, no character, no lines.

00:20:59It's no dead man.

00:21:01Have you got an ink pad around the house?

00:21:04Should be one of the desk line.

00:21:05I want to take the corpse's fingerprints.

00:21:07Of course it's a dead man.

00:21:08What else could it be?

00:21:09I don't know, but I've got a feeling that...

00:21:12Well, this sounds crazy, but if I should do an autopsy,

00:21:15I think I'd find every organ in perfect condition.

00:21:21Just as perfect as the body is externally.

00:21:26Everything in working order.

00:21:29All set to go.

00:21:29Hold up there, will you?

00:21:37He's blank.

00:21:39Waiting for the final finished face to be stamped onto it.

00:21:43But whose face?

00:21:45Tell me that.

00:21:47I think we could all use a drink.

00:21:52Bourbon all right?

00:21:54Fine.

00:21:55Enough of these things.

00:21:56Miles, answer me.

00:21:57Whose face?

00:21:58I haven't the slightest idea, honey.

00:22:00Have you?

00:22:02How, uh...

00:22:03How tall would you say that thing is?

00:22:05Oh, 5'10", thereabouts.

00:22:07How much does it weigh?

00:22:10I don't know, it's pretty thin.

00:22:11Maybe 140 pounds.

00:22:13Jack's 5'10", weighs 140 pounds.

00:22:15I don't know.

00:22:16I don't know.

00:22:17Ow!

00:22:19Teddy, will you stop talking nonsense?

00:22:21I'm sorry, darling.

00:22:22Come on, let's have that hand.

00:22:23But it isn't nonsense.

00:22:25Becky, you don't think it's nonsense, do you?

00:22:28Well, of course it is.

00:22:29Jack's standing here in front of you.

00:22:30Of course I am.

00:22:32Bleeding to death.

00:22:33Excuse me, just a minute.

00:22:34You know what?

00:22:36I'm afraid you may live.

00:22:40Yeah, this should fix it.

00:22:42Miles, don't you think we should call the police

00:22:44and have them take their dead body out of here?

00:22:46I'm afraid it isn't just a dead body.

00:22:49Thanks.

00:23:01I wonder if...

00:23:02Look, I wonder if there's any connection.

00:23:06What do you mean?

00:23:08There's something strange going on in Santa Mira.

00:23:11Dr. Kaufman calls it

00:23:12an epidemic of mass hysteria.

00:23:16Becky's cousin's got it, for one.

00:23:18She thinks that her uncle and her aunt

00:23:20aren't her uncle and her aunt.

00:23:22There's several cases of such delusion.

00:23:26Now, this isn't you yet,

00:23:27but there is a structural likeness.

00:23:32It's fantastic, but there must be some reason

00:23:34why this thing is in your house.

00:23:36Would you be willing to sit up with your strange friend

00:23:38and see what his next move is?

00:23:39If nothing happens by morning, call the police.

00:23:41If something happens, call me, will you?

00:23:46You know I will.

00:23:54Good night.

00:23:55Take it easy.

00:23:56Sure.

00:23:57Now, nothing's going to happen.

00:23:58Good night, Ben.

00:23:59Well, if it does, it'll make a charming,

00:24:01blood-curdling mystery story.

00:24:11I was careful not to let Becky know,

00:24:13but for the first time, I was really scared.

00:24:15Dan Kaufman's explanation of what was wrong in town,

00:24:18mass hysteria.

00:24:19Couldn't explain away that body on Jack's billiard table.

00:24:22Come in while I turn the lights on.

00:24:39You're a forward wench dragging me into a dark hallway to be kissed.

00:24:43I'm dragging you into a dark hallway

00:24:44because I'm scared of the dark tonight.

00:24:46In that case, I'd better stay and tuck you in.

00:24:49That way lies madness.

00:24:50What's wrong with madness?

00:24:55Madness.

00:24:56Now, good night.

00:25:05Well, it's about time you two got home.

00:25:08Dad, what are you doing in the basement this time of night?

00:25:10Working in my shop.

00:25:11How about a nightcap, Doc?

00:25:12No thanks. It's kind of late.

00:25:14I'll take a rain check.

00:25:15Good night.

00:25:16Good night.

00:25:19Good night.

00:25:19Good night, Miles.

00:25:20Good night.

00:25:49Good night.

00:25:50Good night.

00:25:52Good night.

00:25:54Good night.

00:25:55What happened, Jack?

00:26:11Teddies, there's a thing of our place.

00:26:12It's me right under the cut of my hand.

00:26:14Sit down, baby.

00:26:14I didn't wait to look.

00:26:16It's alive.

00:26:17It's alive.

00:26:19The hand was cut and bleeding in the position of the body.

00:26:23It changed.

00:26:24Here, here.

00:26:25Take this.

00:26:31I'll call Danny Kaufman.

00:26:32I've got to see you right away.

00:26:39Hello.

00:26:52Hello, Danny.

00:26:54Yeah?

00:26:55Something's happening. I've got to see you right away.

00:26:57Will you get over here as fast as you can?

00:26:59It's important.

00:27:01Oh, okay.

00:27:07He's on his way. I'll make some coffee and be right with you.

00:27:09Good deal, Miles. Thanks.

00:27:13Miles, what about Becky? Do you think she's all right?

00:27:22Dad, what are you doing in the basement this time of night?

00:27:27Working in my shop.

00:27:32I don't know what it was.

00:27:34Call it a premonition, but suddenly I had the feeling that Becky was in danger.

00:27:38I had to get to her as quickly as possible.

00:27:52I was going to ring the bell, but then I had a hunch I'd better be careful.

00:28:07Something was wrong in this house.

00:28:22Wait.

00:28:25Yes, sir.

00:28:26No, no, no.

00:28:30No, no.

00:28:31No.

00:28:32I'll do it again.

00:28:33Why not?

00:28:34You can't do it again.

00:28:35You're off.

00:28:36I'm not alone.

00:28:37I'm not alone.

00:28:38Maybe we can do it.

00:28:40You can do it again.

00:28:41There you go.

00:28:43Let's go, Mr.

00:28:44Dougie.

00:28:45Yes.

00:28:46It's all good.

00:28:47No, no.

00:28:48No, no.

00:28:49Indeed, not the use of the audience.

00:30:51Becky.

00:30:59Becky.

00:31:01Becky.

00:31:03Becky.

00:31:43Becky.

00:31:44Yeah?

00:31:45I want to see one of these bodies.

00:31:48All right.

00:31:49Now, you're going to bed.

00:31:50And you're staying with her.

00:31:51Put on your clothes.

00:31:52We'll go to Jack's first.

00:31:53You got any coffee around here?

00:31:54Yeah.

00:31:55You'll find some in the kitchen.

00:31:56He doesn't believe me, Beck.

00:31:58He will.

00:31:59He doesn't believe me, Beck.

00:32:02He will.

00:32:06Come on.

00:32:07Come on.

00:32:16Somebody's playing games.

00:32:17Rough ones.

00:32:19There's a blood spot.

00:32:21What you saw was the body of a murdered man.

00:32:25Did you examine it carefully?

00:32:26Yes.

00:32:27I don't know what's happened to it.

00:32:29It was not an ordinary body and there wasn't a mark on it.

00:32:32I checked it too when I put it on the table.

00:32:33There wasn't a scratch.

00:32:34You can kill a man by shoving an ice pick into the base of his brain

00:32:37and leaving a puncture so small the naked eye can't see it.

00:32:40Danny, you're ignoring the fact that this was not a normal body.

00:32:42And you heard what Teddy said about the hand.

00:32:44I heard lots of things Teddy said and none of them made any sense.

00:32:47All right.

00:32:48Now, hold on to it, pal.

00:32:49I was here too.

00:32:50So was Miles.

00:32:51Now, look.

00:32:52We took his fingerprints.

00:32:53Look at that.

00:32:54Tell me why he didn't have any.

00:32:56He didn't want any, so he took them off with acid.

00:32:59Stop trying to rationalize everything, will you?

00:33:01Let's face it.

00:33:02We have a mystery on our hands.

00:33:03Sure you have.

00:33:04A real one.

00:33:05Whose body was it and where is it now?

00:33:06A completely normal mystery.

00:33:08Whatever it is, it's well within the bounds of human experience

00:33:11and I don't think you ought to make any more of it.

00:33:13Look, I wouldn't if I hadn't looked in Becky's cellar.

00:33:15How do you explain away the body I saw there?

00:33:17I don't think you saw one there.

00:33:19You don't think I saw one here either?

00:33:20I know you did, because three others saw it too.

00:33:22But I dreamed up the second one.

00:33:24Doctors can have hallucinations too.

00:33:26The mind is a strange and wonderful thing.

00:33:28I'm not sure it'll ever be able to figure itself out.

00:33:31Everything else, maybe.

00:33:32From the atom to the universe.

00:33:33Everything except itself.

00:33:35Nevertheless, I saw Becky's double

00:33:37and the body that we saw here

00:33:39bore an uncomfortable resemblance to Jack.

00:33:41You're mighty uncomfortable.

00:33:42All right, let's go on to Becky's and have a look.

00:33:49All right, where's your girlfriend's double?

00:33:51Okay, skeptic. Lift the lid.

00:34:05There's a body here, all right.

00:34:06It's Becky's double.

00:34:07It sure is.

00:34:08Take another look.

00:34:09Now you see it.

00:34:10Now you don't.

00:34:11It was there.

00:34:12Half hidden by that blanket.

00:34:13You said you saw it there just now.

00:34:14I thought I did.

00:34:15Why did you come here tonight?

00:34:16You'd seen a dead man at Jack's.

00:34:17An average-sized man.

00:34:18The face and death was smooth and unlined.

00:34:19Bland in expression, which often happens.

00:34:20You had just become aware of a curious, unexplainable epidemic mass hysteria.

00:34:24Men, women, and children suddenly convinced themselves

00:34:26that their relatives weren't their relatives at all.

00:34:27So your mind started playing tricks.

00:34:28And reality became unreality.

00:34:29The dead man became Jack's double in your eyes.

00:34:31Look, come off it, will you, Danny?

00:34:32I know, Miles.

00:34:33This is all hard to believe, but these things don't matter.

00:34:34You don't matter.

00:34:35You come here tonight.

00:34:36You've seen a dead man at Jack's.

00:34:37An average-sized man.

00:34:38The face and death was smooth and unlined.

00:34:39Bland in expression, which often happens.

00:34:40You had just become aware of a curious, unexplainable epidemic mass hysteria.

00:34:43Men, women, and children suddenly convinced themselves

00:34:44that their relatives weren't their relatives at all.

00:34:46So your mind started playing tricks.

00:34:47And reality became unreality.

00:34:48The dead man became Jack's double in your eyes.

00:34:49Look, come off it, will you, Danny?

00:34:51I know, Miles.

00:34:52This is all hard to believe, but these things happen,

00:34:54even to witch doctors like me.

00:34:56I saw her here.

00:34:57She was real.

00:34:58You saw her all right in every tiny detail,

00:35:00as vividly as anyone has ever seen anything,

00:35:03but only in your mind.

00:35:05Look, Danny, you can talk all night, but you're not going to convince me.

00:35:10What in heaven's name are you doing in my cellar?

00:35:13Using it for an office, Mr. Driscoll.

00:35:14These gentlemen are patients, badly in need of psychiatric treatment.

00:35:17Oh, stop talking nonsense.

00:35:19I'm not.

00:35:20They've been having nightmares.

00:35:21Well, if you're drunk, you better sober up quick.

00:35:23The police are on their way here.

00:35:24No, no, no, we're not drunk.

00:35:25Nothing as simple as that.

00:35:26Pull up a chair.

00:35:27Why, you're crazy, all of you.

00:35:29Hey, what's going on down there?

00:35:31Hello, Nick.

00:35:32Glad to see you.

00:35:33You saved these two characters at FIPTA the station.

00:35:36They want to report finding a body and losing it.

00:35:40Where?

00:35:41When?

00:35:42At my place, about seven o'clock.

00:35:45Why did you wait so long to report it?

00:35:47You know better than that, Doc.

00:35:49Yeah, well, it was a curious sort of a body, and then it wasn't there anymore.

00:35:55I have a good mind to throw you both in jail.

00:35:58Well, if you'd seen it, you'd understand why we waited.

00:36:02Thin man, 5'10", fingerprints burnt off with acid.

00:36:07I've just seen it on the slab in the morgue.

00:36:10It turned up in a burning haystack on Mike Gessner's south pasture two hours ago.

00:36:15Now, break it up.

00:36:17Go on home.

00:36:26Well, you win.

00:36:28Pick up the marbles.

00:36:36Good morning.

00:36:37Good morning.

00:36:38Orange juice.

00:36:44How'd you like your eggs?

00:36:46Oh, any way you'd like them.

00:36:48Boil, two minutes.

00:36:49Two minutes?

00:36:50Mm-hmm.

00:36:51Okay.

00:36:53You know, dragging you out of bed in the middle of the night was a lot of trouble, but it was worth it.

00:37:00It was worth it.

00:37:01Now, seriously.

00:37:04What was that?

00:37:09Who is it?

00:37:11It's a gas man.

00:37:13Morning, Doc.

00:37:16Good morning, Charlie.

00:37:18I guess I'm a little jittery.

00:37:19I'm not getting enough sleep.

00:37:21Well, I won't be bothering you anymore.

00:37:23I'm putting the meter outside on the patio.

00:37:25Okay.

00:37:26The eggs will be hard, boy.

00:37:28Did you do this for your husband?

00:37:30Mm-hmm.

00:37:31Didn't your wife do this for you?

00:37:33Oh, yes.

00:37:34She liked to cook.

00:37:35That's one of the reasons why I'm single.

00:37:37I never was there when dinner was on the table.

00:37:40Well, take my advice and don't get mixed up with the doctor.

00:37:44There's seldom at home.

00:37:45What would you say if I told you I was already mixed up with the doctor?

00:37:49I'd say it was too good to be true.

00:37:52Well, things like this can happen all of a sudden.

00:37:54What's so all of a sudden about two people who've known each other most of their life?

00:37:57Good morning.

00:37:58Oh, good morning.

00:37:59I thought I'd smell some coffee.

00:38:00Why don't you give me a call?

00:38:01I didn't want to wake Teddy.

00:38:02Oh, she's wide awake.

00:38:03Got a good sleep.

00:38:04Good.

00:38:05But I don't feel that she should go home right away, Miles.

00:38:06Would you mind taking in a couple of boarders for a while?

00:38:08Or do you have something else in mind?

00:38:10Well, I was toying with an idea, but you can stay.

00:38:11Hey, Jack.

00:38:12Thank you, doll.

00:38:13Take it up to Teddy.

00:38:14Miles, did you make that appointment for me with the psychiatrist?

00:38:15Yes, two o'clock.

00:38:16I don't know.

00:38:17Did you make that appointment for me with the psychiatrist?

00:38:18Yes, two o'clock.

00:38:19I don't need him.

00:38:20I feel like such a fool.

00:38:22I woke up this morning and everything was all right.

00:38:23Do you know how relieved I am?

00:38:24Oh, yes, I do.

00:38:25Listen, would you give me a call?

00:38:26Yes, two o'clock.

00:38:27I don't need him.

00:38:28Oh, I feel like such a fool.

00:38:29I woke up this morning and everything was all right.

00:38:31Do you know how relieved I am?

00:38:32Oh, yes, I do.

00:38:33Listen, would you give me a call?

00:38:34Oh, yes, I do.

00:38:35Give Becky a call and tell her about it.

00:38:36She was worried about you.

00:38:37All right.

00:38:38She's in my house.

00:38:39At your house?

00:38:40Why?

00:38:41Well, it's a long story, but she'll tell you all about it.

00:38:43Oh, I know what I'm trying to do.

00:38:44Oh, thank you.

00:38:46Oh, I'm very sorry.

00:38:47Well, thank you.

00:38:48I'm very sorry.

00:38:49You were going to be on the phone.

00:38:50We're going to be on the phone.

00:38:51All right.

00:38:52No, no, no.

00:38:53The phone.

00:38:54I'm going to be on the phone.

00:38:55Oh, no, no.

00:38:56No, no.

00:38:57No, no.

00:38:58No, no, no.

00:38:59No, no.

00:39:00No, no.

00:39:01No, no.

00:39:02No.

00:39:03No, no, no.

00:39:04Becky's still at his house.

00:39:23All right.

00:39:26Good morning.

00:39:28Good morning, Sally.

00:39:29Take a peek at what's in the reception room.

00:39:34Mother, why don't we go home?

00:39:38In a little while, Jimmy.

00:39:44He certainly made a quick recovery.

00:39:50I guess we all have.

00:39:53But driving home, I had a lot of questions and no answers.

00:39:56How could Jimmy and Wilma seem so normal now?

00:39:59Surely I had done nothing to cure them.

00:40:00Maybe they wanted me to feel secure, but why?

00:40:04Well.

00:40:07Hope you didn't forget the steaks.

00:40:09I never forget anything.

00:40:10Don't worry about him. He's completely housebroken.

00:40:14I need a martini, Burke.

00:40:15I need her, Olive.

00:40:16Doesn't matter. I want to pour it on the charcoal.

00:40:19I can't get this stuff to burn.

00:40:20Oh, a martini isn't dry enough.

00:40:22I'll get you something to start it.

00:40:24For drinking purposes.

00:40:27You're looking ship-shape.

00:40:28Thank you, sir.

00:40:34There we are.

00:40:42There we are.

00:40:47All right.

00:40:48All right.

00:40:48Jack!

00:40:50Jack!

00:40:52They're like huge seed pods.

00:40:56I don't know what to do.

00:40:58Jack!

00:41:00Jack!

00:41:02Jack!

00:41:04Jack!

00:41:06Jack!

00:41:08Jack!

00:41:10Jack!

00:41:12Jack!

00:41:14Jack!

00:41:16Jack!

00:41:17Jack!

00:41:18Jack!

00:41:20This must be the way that body in my closet was formed.

00:41:24Miles, where did they come from?

00:41:26I don't know.

00:41:27If they are seeds or seed pods, they must grow someplace on a plant probably.

00:41:30And somebody or something wants this duplication to take place.

00:41:33But when they're finished, what happens to our bodies?

00:41:35I don't know.

00:41:37When the process is completed, probably the original is destroyed or disintegrates.

00:41:40Scott!

00:41:41No, wait!

00:41:42I'm sorry, but I take a dim view of watching my own destruction take place.

00:41:44There isn't any danger until they're completely formed.

00:41:47I learned that last night at your house.

00:41:48Your blank didn't change right away.

00:41:50Not until you fell asleep.

00:41:53Miles, when the change does take place, do you suppose there's any difference?

00:41:59There must be.

00:42:00Wilma noticed it.

00:42:01So did little Jimmy.

00:42:02So did little Jimmy.

00:42:03So did I.

00:42:05My father.

00:42:07That must be what he was doing in the cellar last night, placing one of these.

00:42:12I'm sorry.

00:42:13I felt something was wrong, but I thought it was me because I've been away for so long.

00:42:18They have to be destroyed.

00:42:19All of them.

00:42:20They will be.

00:42:21Every one of them.

00:42:22Listen, we're going to have to search every building, every house in town.

00:42:25Men, women and children are going to have to be examined.

00:42:27We've got some phoning to do.

00:42:28Well, I'm going to stay right here where I can watch them.

00:42:30I'm going to stay with you.

00:42:31And don't call the police!

00:42:32Nick Rivet didn't find anybody on a burning haystack!

00:42:40Why don't you call Danny?

00:42:41Maybe he can help.

00:42:42Danny?

00:42:44No.

00:42:45I'm afraid it's too late to call Danny too.

00:42:47Well, what are you going to do?

00:42:48Get help.

00:42:49I hope whatever's taking place is confined to Santa Mira if it isn't.

00:43:00Operator.

00:43:01Hello.

00:43:02This is Dr. Bunnell.

00:43:03This is an emergency.

00:43:04I want to talk to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Los Angeles.

00:43:07Can you make them believe you?

00:43:08I've got to.

00:43:09Where do they come from?

00:43:11So much has been discovered in these past few years that anything is possible.

00:43:14Maybe the results of atomic radiation on plant life or animal life.

00:43:19Some weird alien organism.

00:43:21A mutation of some kind.

00:43:23So why should they take the form of people?

00:43:25Of us?

00:43:26I don't know.

00:43:27Whatever it is, whatever intelligence or instinct it is,

00:43:30that can govern the forming of human flesh and blood out of thin air is...

00:43:35Well, it's fantastically powerful.

00:43:37Beyond any comprehension.

00:43:38Malignant.

00:43:39All that body in your cellar needed was a mind.

00:43:41And it was...

00:43:42And it was taking mine while I was asleep.

00:43:45I could take that pitchfork myself and...

00:43:48On your call to Los Angeles, doctor, they don't answer.

00:43:51Well, try again.

00:43:52That office is open day and night.

00:43:54If they've taken over the telephone office, we're dead.

00:43:57They're dead.

00:43:58They're dead.

00:44:13Is that me?

00:44:14Me?

00:44:15I don't know.

00:44:16I don't know.

00:44:17You're dead.

00:44:18I don't know.

00:44:19I don't know.

00:44:20No, you're dead.

00:44:21I don't know.

00:44:22Are you sick?

00:44:23Me?

00:44:24No.

00:44:25Me?

00:44:26This is an emergency! Emergency! Now, look, there's been...

00:44:49Operator, get me a better connection.

00:44:53I'll try, doctor.

00:44:56It's no use. All the Los Angeles circuits are dead.

00:44:59All right, try Sacramento.

00:45:01Give me the state capital. I want to talk to the governor.

00:45:06The Sacramento circuits are busy, doctor. I'll call you back.

00:45:12All right. All right, I'll wait for your call.

00:45:19I'll take the phone outside.

00:45:20Jack!

00:45:25They've got the phone.

00:45:28Now, you and the girls, get in your car and make a run for it.

00:45:30First time you get to, yell for help.

00:45:32What about you?

00:45:32In a little while, that phone is going to ring.

00:45:34If there's nobody here to answer it, they'll know we've gone and blocked the roads out of town.

00:45:36I'll stall them until you're out of reach.

00:45:38Well, then what are you going to do?

00:45:39Try and find out what's in back of this.

00:45:41I'm staying.

00:45:41No.

00:45:42Miles, don't ask me to leave you.

00:45:46Jack, get going.

00:45:47Miles, I can't...

00:45:48Look, somebody's got to go or we don't get any help.

00:45:50Please, let's get out of here.

00:45:51Well, watch out for yourselves.

00:45:55Go over by the phone.

00:45:57Stay there.

00:45:58If it rings, call me.

00:46:18Hello.

00:46:26Is Dr. Bunnell there?

00:46:41Yes, I'll get him.

00:46:42Never mind.

00:46:43Just tell him the Sacramento circuits are still busy and ask him if he wants me to keep trying.

00:46:47All right, hold on.

00:46:49Miles!

00:46:49The circuits are still busy.

00:46:51Well, tell her to keep trying.

00:46:52Also, try San Francisco and Washington.

00:47:01We're getting out of here right now.

00:47:02Well, where are we going?

00:47:03Sally.

00:47:03We're still unable to get through to Los Angeles.

00:47:09Do you wish me to keep trying?

00:47:12Dr. Bunnell?

00:47:14Dr. Bunnell?

00:47:16I needed someone I could trust and I figured Sally, my nurse, was my best bet.

00:47:20I decided to try to phone her to see if she was at home.

00:47:24Maybe they hadn't taken over the pay phones.

00:47:26I'll try the pay phone.

00:47:28Hey, Mac!

00:47:30Oh, hi, Doc.

00:47:31How are you?

00:47:32Listen, will you give me a couple of gallons fast?

00:47:33I'm in a hurry.

00:47:34Sure.

00:47:35Martha!

00:47:36Doc's in a hurry.

00:47:36Get the windshield, will you?

00:47:42I have to have the keys to open the gas tank.

00:47:46Somebody's sick out this way?

00:47:49There's been an accident.

00:47:51Funny, we haven't heard about it.

00:47:53Well, it just happened.

00:47:55Before I could even get her number, I saw Mac closing the trunk of my car.

00:47:59He could have been checking my spare tire, but...

00:48:01I didn't think so.

00:48:02That should do it.

00:48:03Don't, sir.

00:48:04All set?

00:48:05All set, Doc.

00:48:06Fine, thanks.

00:48:07I'll put it on my belt, will you?

00:48:08Sure, Doc.

00:48:09Sure.

00:48:09Well, what's the matter?

00:48:31What's the matter?

00:48:31You better make it to Sally's house.

00:48:58I wasn't sure now there was anyone I could trust, but I took a chance and drove to Sally's anyway.

00:49:14When I saw several cars in front of the house, I decided to play it safe.

00:49:25What's wrong?

00:49:32Probably nothing.

00:49:34But we're not going in there until I'm sure it's safe.

00:49:35Slide over under the wheel.

00:49:37And get out of here fast if anybody shows up looking for us.

00:49:39Get out of here.

00:50:01The baby is asleep yet, Sully?

00:50:09Not yet, but she will be soon.

00:50:11There'll be no more tears.

00:50:13Shall I put this in her room?

00:50:15Yes, in her playpen.

00:50:16No, wait.

00:50:17Maybe I'd better take it.

00:50:20Why don't you go in, lads?

00:50:21We've been waiting for you.

00:50:22Oh!

00:50:32Becky, get going.

00:50:44Attention all units.

00:50:46Attention all units.

00:50:47Apprehend and detain Dr. Miles Bunnell and Becky Driscoll.

00:50:51Now believed heading north in a black and white Ford sedan.

00:50:55License number 2X37796.

00:51:00All units designated as roadblocks move to your stations.

00:51:04It is urgent.

00:51:05These two persons must be detained and not permitted to leave Santa Mira.

00:51:09Repeat.

00:51:10It is urgent.

00:51:14The order of a gun for a 1955 black and white Ford sedan.

00:51:18License number 3X37796.

00:51:48We'll try to make it to my office.

00:52:01Cut into that alley on the right.

00:52:18Let's go.

00:52:48Let's go.

00:53:18Do you think you'll come back?

00:53:34I don't think they'll check again before morning, but then Jack should be here with help.

00:53:41What if Jack doesn't get through?

00:53:51He's got to get through.

00:53:53Here.

00:53:53Now take two of these.

00:53:54I'll help you to stay awake.

00:54:11We can't close our eyes all night.

00:54:16We may wake up changed.

00:54:19To something evil and inhuman.

00:54:21In my practice, I've seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away.

00:54:27Only it happened slowly instead of all at once.

00:54:31They didn't seem to mind.

00:54:33But just some people, Miles.

00:54:35All of us, a little bit.

00:54:38We harden our hearts, grow callous.

00:54:41Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us.

00:54:47How dear.

00:54:48As you are to me.

00:54:52As you are to me.

00:54:52Maybe that's Jack trying to find us.

00:55:06He'd know better than to use the phone.

00:55:10Where is he?

00:55:12When doesn't he come?

00:55:13Just like any Saturday morning.

00:55:29Len Perlman, Bill Bittner, Jim Clark and his wife Shirley and their kids.

00:55:36People I've known all my life.

00:55:37What time is it?

00:55:417.45.

00:55:43Yeah, I know.

00:55:46It's too early to be so busy.

00:55:47What are they doing here?

00:55:51There's the answer.

00:55:53There must be strangers in town.

00:55:55They've been waiting for the bus to come and go.

00:55:57There isn't another one through here until 11.

00:56:13There's the bus.

00:56:14There's the bus.

00:56:15There must be strangers in town.

00:56:16The bus.

00:56:22Nobody has meat to come and see you once.

00:56:22Sorry about their food.

00:56:23What am I going to be?

00:56:23Earl Brown Bittner, man.

00:56:24I open for that NOVA's.

00:57:44It's a malignant disease spreading through the whole country.

00:57:48That's all for today.

00:57:50Be ready again tomorrow.

00:57:51I can't wait for Jack any longer. Stay here.

00:57:54But you're not going out there.

00:57:55I've got to stop them.

00:57:56Wait, we're safe here.

00:57:57They're not here.

00:57:58I hope we're not too late.

00:57:59Jack, thank God.

00:58:01Jack, the whole town's been taken over by the pods.

00:58:03Not quite.

00:58:04There's still you and Becky.

00:58:05Miles, it would have been so much easier if you'd gone to sleep.

00:58:07You're not going out there.

00:58:08I can't wait for Jack any longer.

00:58:09Stay here.

00:58:10But you're not going out there.

00:58:11I've got to stop them.

00:58:12Well, wait.

00:58:13We're safe here.

00:58:14They're not here.

00:58:15I hope we're not too late.

00:58:16Jack, thank God.

00:58:17Jack, the whole town's been taken over by the pods.

00:58:20Not quite.

00:58:21There's still you and Becky.

00:58:22Miles, it would have been so much easier if you'd gone to sleep last night.

00:58:27Now, relax.

00:58:28We're here to help you.

00:58:29You know better than that.

00:58:30Where you want us to put them?

00:58:31Would you like to watch them grow?

00:58:32No, thanks.

00:58:33Put them in there.

00:58:34There's nothing to be afraid of.

00:58:35We're not going to hurt you.

00:58:36But once you understand, you'll be grateful.

00:58:38Remember how Teddy and I are here.

00:58:39I'm here.

00:58:40I'm here.

00:58:41I'm here.

00:58:42I'm here.

00:58:43I'm here.

00:58:44I'm here.

00:58:45I'm here.

00:58:46I'm here.

00:58:47I'm here.

00:58:48You're a fool.

00:58:49Remember how Teddy and I fought against it?

00:58:51Well, we were wrong.

00:58:52You mean Teddy doesn't mind?

00:58:54Of course not.

00:58:55She feels exactly the way I do.

00:58:56Let us go.

00:58:57Look, we'll leave town.

00:58:58We won't come back.

00:58:59We can't let you go.

00:59:00You're dangerous to us.

00:59:02Don't fight it, Miles.

00:59:03It's no use.

00:59:04Sooner or later, you'll have to go to sleep.

00:59:07I'll wait for you in the hall.

00:59:10Miles, you and I are scientific men.

00:59:13You can understand the wonder of what's happened.

00:59:16Just think.

00:59:17Less than a month ago, Santa Mera was like any other town.

00:59:20People with nothing but problems.

00:59:22Then out of the sky came a solution.

00:59:25Seeds drifting through space for years took root in a farmer's field.

00:59:29From the seeds came pods, which have the power to reproduce themselves in the exact likeness of any form of life.

00:59:37So that's how it began.

00:59:40Out of the sky.

00:59:42Your new bodies are growing in there.

00:59:46They're taking you over, cell for cell, atom for atom.

00:59:50There's no pain.

00:59:52Suddenly, while you're asleep, they'll absorb your minds, your memories, and you're reborn into an untroubled world.

01:00:00Where everyone's the same?

01:00:01Exactly.

01:00:02What a world.

01:00:03We're not the last humans left.

01:00:04They'll destroy you.

01:00:05Tomorrow, you won't want them to.

01:00:06Tomorrow, you'll be one of us.

01:00:07I love Becky.

01:00:08Tomorrow, will I feel the same?

01:00:09There's no need for love.

01:00:10No emotion.

01:00:11Then you have no feelings.

01:00:12Only the instinct to survive.

01:00:13You can't love or be loved.

01:00:14Am I right?

01:00:15You say it as if it were terrible.

01:00:16Believe me, it's the last humans left.

01:00:17The last humans left.

01:00:18They'll destroy you.

01:00:19Tomorrow, you won't want them to.

01:00:20Tomorrow, you'll be one of us.

01:00:23I love Becky.

01:00:24Tomorrow, will I feel the same?

01:00:27There's no need for love.

01:00:29No emotion.

01:00:32Then you have no feelings.

01:00:34Only the instinct to survive.

01:00:36You can't love or be loved, am I right?

01:00:38You say it as if it were terrible.

01:00:39Believe me, it isn't.

01:00:40You've been in love before.

01:00:42It didn't last.

01:00:44It never does.

01:00:45Love, desire, ambition, faith.

01:00:49Without them, life's so simple.

01:00:51Believe me.

01:00:52I don't want any part of it.

01:00:55You're forgetting something, Miles.

01:00:57What's that?

01:00:58You have no choice.

01:01:06I guess we haven't any choice.

01:01:08Good.

01:01:18Love.

01:01:19I want to love and be loved.

01:01:24I want your children.

01:01:25I don't want a world without love or grief or beauty.

01:01:28I'd rather die.

01:01:29No.

01:01:30No.

01:01:31No.

01:01:32No.

01:01:36Not unless there's no other way.

01:01:39Why didn't they just give us a shot or a sleeping pill or something?

01:01:44The drug stole the mine.

01:01:45Maybe that's the reason.

01:01:46Oh, no.

01:01:47It wouldn't work.

01:01:48I might get one or even two, but I couldn't possibly get three of them.

01:02:01You think something, darling, in me.

01:02:02It isn't three against one.

01:02:03It's three against two.

01:02:04Give me a knife.

01:02:07No.

01:02:08No.

01:02:09No.

01:02:10No, no.

01:02:11No.

01:02:12No.

01:02:13No.

01:02:15No.

01:02:17No, no.

01:02:19No.

01:02:21No.

01:03:22Go over by the desk.

01:03:25Go over by the desk.

01:03:55Open the door.

01:03:59Go over by the desk.

01:04:01Go over by the desk.

01:04:03Go over by the desk.

01:04:05Our only hope is to make it to the highway.

01:04:43The only other way is out the front door and there's bound to be somebody watching.

01:04:47We'll have to chance it.

01:04:48Keep your eyes a little wide and blank.

01:05:04Show no interest or excitement.

01:05:06Go over by the desk.

01:05:08Go over by the desk.

01:05:12Go over by the desk.

01:05:13Go over by the desk.

01:05:14Go over by the desk.

01:05:18Well, Sam, we're finally with you.

01:05:34They were supposed to let me know.

01:05:35The chief said he had phoned the station, and then I'd get the call.

01:05:38He phoned, but the line was busy.

01:05:40He's calling again now.

01:05:46Watch out!

01:05:48I'm sorry, Miles.

01:06:18This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:20This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:24This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:26This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:30This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:32This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:36This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:38This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:42This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:44This is Janczek. They've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:06:46This is Janczek. You've got a way. Turn the main siren on.

01:07:10Only a few steps more.

01:07:33Come on, they went this way.

01:07:40They're over there!

01:08:10Come on!

01:08:20Come on!

01:08:25Come on!

01:08:32THE END

01:09:02I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't go on.

01:09:29Yes, you can.

01:09:32Yes, you can.

01:10:02Yes, you can.

01:10:03Yes, you can.

01:10:04Yes, you can.

01:10:05Yes, you can.

01:10:07Yes, you can.

01:10:08Yes, you can.

01:10:10Yes, you can.

01:10:11Yes, you can.

01:10:13Yes, you can.

01:10:14Yes, you can.

01:10:15Yes, you can.

01:10:16Yes, you can.

01:10:17Yes, you can.

01:10:18Yes, you can.

01:10:19Yes, you can.

01:10:20Yes, you can.

01:10:21Yes, you can.

01:10:22Yes, you can.

01:10:23Yes, you can.

01:10:24Yes, you can.

01:10:26Yes, you can.

01:10:27Yes, you can.

01:10:28Yes, you can.

01:10:29Yes, you can.

01:10:30Yes, you can.

01:10:31Yes, you can.

01:10:32Yes, you can.

01:10:33Yes, you can.

01:10:34Yes, you can.

01:10:35Yes, you can.

01:10:40Here, somebody go out!

01:10:48Give up! You can't get away from us!

01:10:51We're not gonna hurt you!

01:10:53Give up!

01:10:55Let's go!

01:11:06Not the tunnel. All right, everybody outside.

01:11:09Come on, check the hills. Everybody move.

01:11:19Miles, I can't stay awake much longer.

01:11:23I think they're all gone now.

01:11:27We'd better start, or we'll never make it to the highway.

01:11:53Let's go.

01:11:55.

01:12:00I've never heard of you.

01:12:02Oh, I was, I've never heard anything so beautiful.

01:12:32It means we're not the only ones left to know what love is.

01:12:36Stay here and pray they're as human as they sound.

01:12:40Bye, darling.

01:13:02Oh, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was.

01:13:32This is station KCAA, the 24-hour platter parade, the station of music and...

01:13:41And here...

01:13:44Oh, I was, I was, I was.

01:13:51And I was, I was.

01:13:54And I was.

01:13:56And I was.

01:13:57And I got...

01:13:59Becky!

01:14:00Becky!

01:14:01Becky!

01:14:02Becky!

01:14:03Becky!

01:14:06Becky!

01:14:11Becky!

01:14:12Where are you?

01:14:13I'm here, Miles.

01:14:18You didn't go to sleep.

01:14:19I'm so tired.

01:14:21They weren't people.

01:14:22It was more of them.

01:14:23They're growing thousands of pods in greenhouses.

01:14:24We've got to get away.

01:14:25I'm exhausted, Miles.

01:14:26I can't wait.

01:14:27I'm exhausted, Miles.

01:14:28I can't wait.

01:14:29Come on.

01:14:30You didn't go to sleep.

01:14:31I'm so tired.

01:14:33They weren't people.

01:14:35It was more of them.

01:14:36They're growing thousands of pods in greenhouses.

01:14:38We've got to get away.

01:14:39I'm exhausted, Miles.

01:14:41I can't wait.

01:14:59We can't make it without sleep.

01:15:03Yes, we can.

01:15:23I went to sleep, Miles, and it happened.

01:15:27Oh, Becky.

01:15:31They were right.

01:15:33I should never have left you.

01:15:35Stop acting like a fool, Miles, and accept us.

01:15:39No.

01:15:43Never.

01:15:45He's in here! He's in here!

01:15:47Get him! Get him!

01:15:57I've been afraid a lot of times in my life.

01:16:01But I didn't know the real meaning of fear until...

01:16:03until I had kissed Becky.

01:16:05A moment's sleep and the girl I loved...

01:16:09was an inhuman enemy bent on my destruction.

01:16:11That moment's sleep was death to Becky's soul...

01:16:13just as it had been for Jack and Teddy and Dan Kaufman...

01:16:15and all the rest.

01:16:17Their bodies were now hosts...

01:16:19harboring an alien form of life.

01:16:21A cosmic form.

01:16:23Which to survive must take over every human man.

01:16:25So I ran. I ran.

01:16:27I ran as little Jimmy Grimaldi had run the other day.

01:16:29My only hope was to get away from Santa Mira...

01:16:31to get to the highway...

01:16:33to warn the others of what was happening.

01:16:35the other day.

01:16:37Come on, we've got to get up!

01:16:39No, let him go! They'll never believe you!

01:16:41Help! Help! Help! Wait! Help! Help! Wait!

01:16:59Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop and listen to me!

01:17:03Stop! Stop! And listen to me! Listen to me!

01:17:07Listen! Listen! Those people that are coming after me, they're not human!

01:17:11Listen to me! We're in danger! Danger!

01:17:14Go on! Get out of here!

01:17:16You're in danger! Please!

01:17:18Go on! Get out of here!

01:17:20Get out of here!

01:17:24Now listen! Listen to me!

01:17:26There isn't a human being left inside of here!

01:17:28Not one!

01:17:30Hey! Stop! Pull up!

01:17:31Pull over to the side of the road! I need your help!

01:17:33Something terrible has happened!

01:17:35Go on, you drunk! Get out of the street!

01:17:37Get out of here! Go on!

01:17:51Are you crazy, you big idiot?

01:17:54Look! You fools! You're in danger!

01:17:58Can't you see? They're after you!

01:17:59They're after all of us!

01:18:02Our wives, our children, everyone!

01:18:04They're here already!

01:18:06You're next!

01:18:08You're next!

01:18:09You're next!

01:18:11You're next!

01:18:12You're next!

01:18:13You're next!

01:18:14D Wilder

01:18:17Wire!

01:18:22Ah!

01:18:24You are next!

01:18:26When will he be with him?

01:18:28You realize how to make those friends of his

01:18:31Police!

01:18:33Don't?

01:18:35Are we working correctly?

01:18:36Oh, what do you think? Will psychiatry help?

01:18:53If all this is a nightmare, yes.

01:18:56Of course it's a nightmare.

01:18:58Plants from another world taking over human beings.

01:19:01The man is a March hare.

01:19:02What have we here?

01:19:07Ran his truck through a red light.

01:19:09Greyhound bust, smacked him broadside and tipped him over.

01:19:12Put him in the O.R.

01:19:14Will you take over Bunnell for me, doctor?

01:19:15Certainly.

01:19:17How badly is he hurt?

01:19:18Both legs, left arm broken all the bits.

01:19:22We had to dig him out from one of the most peculiar things I ever saw.

01:19:27What things?

01:19:28Well, I don't know what they are. I never saw them before.

01:19:31They look like, uh, great big seed pods.

01:19:34Seed pods?

01:19:37Where was the truck coming from?

01:19:38Santa Mira.

01:19:45Get on your radio and sound at all points alarm.

01:19:48Block all highways and stop all traffic and call every law enforcement agency in the state.

01:19:54Operately, get me the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

01:19:57Yes, it's an emergency.

01:19:58$3 million.

01:20:00Oh, that's it.

01:20:01Yes, sir.

01:20:04Yes, sir.

01:20:07We don't have a seat.

01:20:07There goes now.
