00:00:00The End
00:00:30This is Washington, D.C., and in the files of the Central Bureau,
00:00:44there is a story so strange in its implications that it defies ordinary classification.
00:00:51It is the story of a handful of people who, in the course of one desperate night,
00:00:56held back a wave of panic and pandemonium.
00:01:00It began after sundown, time 7.15, as Flight A Coast Patrol from Travis Field was returning to base.
00:01:11When the nightly air force transport pointed north toward Japan via the Great Circle route,
00:01:19while at sea, the Navy and Coast Guard maintained their usual round-the-clock vigil.
00:01:24And from the equator to the Arctic, the radar network swept the skies with eyes that never sleep.
00:01:34Time, 7.19.
00:01:38An unidentified object was picked up 200 miles southwest of Point Barrow, Alaska.
00:01:447.27.
00:01:48Unidentified object confirmed at Fairbanks, Alaska.
00:01:54Heading south-southeast, 170 degrees.
00:01:59Height, 75,000 feet.
00:02:02Estimated speed, 5,000 miles per hour.
00:02:07White warning.
00:02:087.39.
00:02:12Unidentified object, 200 miles due west of Vancouver, British Columbia.
00:02:19Course, 170 degrees.
00:02:23Height, 60,000 feet.
00:02:27Estimated speed, down to 3,600 miles per hour.
00:02:32Yellow warning.
00:02:367.54.
00:02:39First interceptor flight airborne.
00:02:42Point of interception, 80 miles due west of San Francisco, California.
00:02:497.55.
00:02:52Unidentified object past point of interception.
00:02:56Red warning.
00:02:598.11.
00:03:00Morro Bay, California.
00:03:04Height, 50,000 feet.
00:03:08Estimated speed, 2,000 miles per hour.
00:03:138.15.
00:03:15Santa Monica, California.
00:03:18Height, 10,000 feet.
00:03:21Speed, 1,200 miles per hour.
00:03:258.18.
00:03:27All traces of unidentified object gone.
00:03:31Red warning lifted.
00:03:34By 8.25 at the Los Angeles branch of the Communications Commission, reports of strong interference with radio and television reception began to pour in from the beach area.
00:03:46The monitors went to work immediately.
00:03:49Mobile units were ordered to converge on the vicinity of the disturbance.
00:03:54Pinpoint direction-finding devices began to trace the trouble to its source.
00:03:58This is Mobile 1, Hazen speaking.
00:04:08We're at Ocean and Beacon Way, interference strength 2, bearing 27 degrees.
00:04:16Over.
00:04:17Mobile 1 from center.
00:04:18Roger.
00:04:19Over.
00:04:20Mobile center from Mobile 7.
00:04:21Over.
00:04:22Go ahead, Mobile 7.
00:04:24This is Mobile 7.
00:04:25From the Pacific Center and Beach 4.
00:04:27Interference strength 3, bearing 39 degrees.
00:04:31Over.
00:04:31This is Mobile Center.
00:04:33Roger.
00:04:33Stand by.
00:04:35Mobile 1 and Mobile 7.
00:04:38From Mobile Center.
00:04:38Point of interception estimated 3 miles north of surf.
00:04:43Repeat.
00:04:443 miles north of surf.
00:04:46Acknowledge.
00:04:47This is Mobile 7.
00:04:48Roger.
00:04:49Mobile 1.
00:04:50Roger.
00:04:50Mobile 7.
00:04:51Roger.
00:04:51We'll go now.
00:04:52Okay, Charlie, let's get moving.
00:05:09Yes, what is it?
00:05:10Take me to a phone quick.
00:05:11I need an ambulance.
00:05:12What's the matter?
00:05:13My husband and Pete out there in the picnic grounds just above the beach.
00:05:16They've been hurt.
00:05:17Well, this is a communications car.
00:05:19I'll phone it in from here.
00:05:20A Mobile 1 to Central.
00:05:23Over.
00:05:26Did you make that out, Charlie?
00:05:28Not a word.
00:05:29A Mobile 1 to Central.
00:05:30I can't reach you.
00:05:31Repeat.
00:05:35They must be getting us all right.
00:05:37A Mobile 1 to Central.
00:05:38Have an ambulance set to beach at surf.
00:05:41Emergency.
00:05:42Two men heard.
00:05:42Acknowledge.
00:05:45Roger now.
00:05:48I'm sure they'll be here soon now.
00:05:50Tell us what happened.
00:05:51This man, he just kept coming at us.
00:05:53It was awful.
00:05:54Who?
00:05:55I don't know.
00:05:56He was wearing a suit like a diver.
00:05:57Hurry, please.
00:05:58They're hurt.
00:06:00Charlie, you better wait here.
00:06:01I'll go down and take a look.
00:06:07The young woman's hysteria became obvious as they reached the picnic grounds at the beach.
00:06:11There was no sign of the mysterious intruder.
00:06:15And little could be done for her husband and their friend until the ambulance arrived.
00:06:20He's on the way to the morgue.
00:06:32He's on the way to the morgue.
00:06:33That was her husband.
00:06:33You're right on the button, Charlie.
00:06:3444.7.
00:06:35Report back to Central if you find anything else.
00:06:39Charlie, grab that portable and check the beach, will you?
00:06:40Got it right here.
00:06:41I'll pick you up right here in about an hour.
00:06:43Where are you going?
00:06:44Police asked me to drop by the station and sign a report.
00:06:46I'll see you later.
00:06:48If you don't, you know where to look for the body.
00:07:06At least there's no way to the station.
00:07:08You got to the city.
00:07:08After the strike, you know where to be in the water.
00:07:12Like I said, we were just starting to eat and we heard something tracking through the sand toward us.
00:07:22I looked up and couldn't see anything.
00:07:24Then Betty screamed.
00:07:25At what?
00:07:26I thought you couldn't see anything.
00:07:28At first we couldn't.
00:07:29Then this guy started toward us.
00:07:31What kind of a guy?
00:07:33How should I know?
00:07:34He was wearing some kind of a helmet over his head.
00:07:35He could have been a deep sea diver or anything.
00:07:38All right.
00:07:38After you saw this diver, what happened?
00:07:41Well, we jumped up.
00:07:43Ed, that was Betty's husband, he allowed him to stop.
00:07:47But he just kept coming.
00:07:48I never saw anything like it.
00:07:50He didn't say anything.
00:07:51He just kept moving in.
00:07:53Then you say he attacked you.
00:07:55We didn't give him a chance.
00:07:57Ed grabbed a piece of wood and took a swing at him.
00:07:59That didn't stop him.
00:08:00He caught the end.
00:08:02That's all I remember.
00:08:03Just because a man's taking a walk has no reason to slug him.
00:08:07Besides, you don't look like a guy I'm frightened so easy.
00:08:09How would you feel if somebody with a crazy helmet with pipe sticking out of it came at you in the dark?
00:08:15Look, I know this sounds crazy.
00:08:18But there wasn't any head in that helmet.
00:08:20No head.
00:08:23No head at all.
00:08:24It's the truth.
00:08:26I think you need some coffee.
00:08:27I don't want anything.
00:08:31It's all the same to you, Lieutenant.
00:08:33I've got to pick up one of my men at the beach.
00:08:35Okay, thanks for coming down, Hazen.
00:08:37Hope I didn't put you out.
00:08:38No trouble.
00:08:38So long.
00:08:40You too.
00:08:44All right, let's start at the beginning.
00:08:47How old did you know of a dead man?
00:08:49And his wife.
00:08:51Betty and I went to school together.
00:08:53And you had a year.
00:08:54How long were they married?
00:08:56About a year.
00:08:57Wasn't her husband a little older than she?
00:08:59I don't know.
00:09:01But you said you and Mrs. Evans went to school together.
00:09:03Then you never discussed anything personal with her?
00:09:05She did mention he was older, yes.
00:09:07How much?
00:09:09Fifteen, twenty years.
00:09:10What difference does that make?
00:09:12That wasn't too hard now, was it?
00:09:14Where do you live?
00:09:166'29 and a half East Palm Court.
00:09:19Why?
00:09:19That's where the Evans live, isn't it?
00:09:23Yeah, I bored with him.
00:09:24You do, huh?
00:09:26That Mrs. Evans is a good-looking woman.
00:09:31What are you trying to say?
00:09:33What time is Bowers?
00:09:42Where?
00:09:45Yeah, I got it.
00:09:47I'll leave right away.
00:09:49Keep it on the murder.
00:09:51Now the beach.
00:09:54Keep an eye on this guy until I get back.
00:09:56What are you doing?
00:09:57You'll stay right where you are.
00:09:59At least until Mrs. Evans feels well enough to talk.
00:10:02What do you want from her?
00:10:03Oh, I just want to see if your story checks with hers.
00:10:06After all, you went to school together, remember?
00:10:21You say there were no witnesses, huh?
00:10:22None yet.
00:10:24Anything missing?
00:10:25I don't think so.
00:10:26The cash register wasn't touched.
00:10:27Get a breakdown in the inventory as soon as you can.
00:10:30What about fingerprints?
00:10:31The boys are working on them now.
00:10:43Sorry I'm late.
00:10:44What kept you so long?
00:10:45The lieutenant asked me to hang around a while.
00:10:48What's the score?
00:10:49Ah, looks like one of those things.
00:10:52Pretty girl, older husband, young boarder.
00:10:54Kid claims some guy without a head knocked the old man off.
00:10:58Yeah, don't say.
00:10:59Anything else?
00:11:01Yeah, he had a diver's outfit with horns.
00:11:03No.
00:11:04He's going to have to do better than that.
00:11:06How are we doing?
00:11:07I took a reading about ten minutes ago.
00:11:10The radiation has gone out with the tide.
00:11:12What about the radio phone?
00:11:14It's working fine again.
00:11:15I just got a call from Central.
00:11:17They said Mobile 7 picked up some new trouble northeast of here.
00:11:20Here we go again.
00:11:21Hop in.
00:11:33Who reported this murder?
00:11:36There he is there.
00:11:37He lives next door.
00:11:38His name is George Nelson.
00:11:39Hey, Mr. Nelson.
00:11:40Yes, sir.
00:11:40Come here, will you?
00:11:43I'm Lieutenant Bowers, homicide.
00:11:45You found this, buddy?
00:11:46That's right.
00:11:47He must have just locked up for the night when this happened.
00:11:49How do you know that?
00:11:49Well, he usually does around this time.
00:11:51What were you doing here?
00:11:52I was sitting home watching the fights on TV,
00:11:54and all of a sudden the things start acting up.
00:11:56What has that got to do with it?
00:11:58Well, you don't know the set.
00:11:59You know, it wouldn't work at all when I came home to supper.
00:12:02Then all of a sudden it cleared up fine.
00:12:04So I thought, well, I'll get set to look at the fights again,
00:12:07and all of a sudden out it goes again.
00:12:08So I thought maybe the battery station down here
00:12:10was overcharged in the circuit,
00:12:11and I'm sure I came down to take a look.
00:12:13That's all.
00:12:14Hey, don't you ever quit work?
00:12:16What's up this time?
00:12:17Another murder?
00:12:21What are you doing here, Hazen?
00:12:23Same as before.
00:12:24Still trying to track down that signal in a sec.
00:12:26Hey, does that stuff work on TV, too?
00:12:28It has been for hours.
00:12:30What'd I tell you?
00:12:31What's the matter?
00:12:32Seems to sit one on the blanket.
00:12:34Well, at least we know we're on the right track.
00:12:36How'd you make out with that border?
00:12:37You're still sticking to a story.
00:12:40The guy had no head.
00:12:42Well, I'll be seeing it.
00:12:43So long.
00:12:43Right.
00:12:44Come on, Josh.
00:12:44And so the communications team resumed its mission
00:13:00to track the mysterious interference to its source.
00:13:03By accurate readings taken at regular intervals
00:13:08by stationary and mobile units,
00:13:11it was determined that the disturbance
00:13:13was moving in a northeasterly direction.
00:13:17By 10.34, Mobile Center had pinpointed the disturbance
00:13:22at the edge of the Huntington oil fields.
00:13:26Units one and seven were instructed to close in.
00:13:29Hey, Charlie, do you see what I see?
00:13:39Yeah, the oil field.
00:13:41Let's hope our trouble's burning up.
00:13:43Well, there's only one way to find out.
00:13:52Look, Sarge, two murders and an explosion
00:13:54in one precinct is big news.
00:13:57Now, come on, you can't pin it all
00:13:58on the young border, or can you?
00:14:02Very funny.
00:14:07Yeah?
00:14:08I'm Hazen of the communications commission.
00:14:10Oh, the lieutenant's waiting for you.
00:14:14There's a wheel.
00:14:16You heard the man.
00:14:16Communications commission.
00:14:19So, it's just kind of interference happens very often.
00:14:22Never anything like this.
00:14:24It's on the move all the time.
00:14:25You need some ham with a transmitter in the car.
00:14:27It's not a transmitter.
00:14:29We don't get a definite disturbance.
00:14:31It's just a set of parents.
00:14:34Then you have no idea of what it is, huh?
00:14:37Not yet.
00:14:38How are you making up?
00:14:39Not so good.
00:14:41You were here when I questioned that boy
00:14:42about the murder at the beach.
00:14:44You got anything more out of it?
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47Come on with me.
00:14:48You might want to see this.
00:14:48Ah, I see you're just about done.
00:14:57Thanks, you can go now.
00:15:03Are you sure this is what the man looks like?
00:15:06What do you say, Betty?
00:15:09Well, it's just about.
00:15:10Only I think the tubes were a little lower down.
00:15:12And you still insist there was no head inside the helmet.
00:15:14I'm positive there wasn't.
00:15:16What about you?
00:15:18Well, it was dark.
00:15:19I couldn't swear to it.
00:15:21Thanks, that'll be all.
00:15:22You mean we can go now?
00:15:24Yeah, for the time being.
00:15:26Just stick close to home.
00:15:27I may want to see you again tomorrow.
00:15:28We'll be there.
00:15:29Come on, Betty.
00:15:31Kind of changed your mind about those two, haven't you?
00:15:33Yeah, I guess I have.
00:15:34Hey, look, bring in the old man, will you?
00:15:38Don't tell me you believe this story about this, this whatever it is.
00:15:42I know it sounds as phony as it ever did.
00:15:44But, hey, sit down, will you please?
00:15:46You're the, uh, watching at the Huntington Oilfields?
00:15:49Oh, yes, sir.
00:15:50I've been with a company for over 22 years, sir.
00:15:51Now, will you tell Mr. Hayes in here exactly what happened?
00:15:55Well, sir, like I said before,
00:15:57I was just closing the gate for the night
00:15:59when I saw this fellow coming up.
00:16:00I was never so scared in my life.
00:16:02Yes, go on.
00:16:03Well, it wasn't the man so much as the suit he was wearing.
00:16:07Well, he wouldn't stop when I hollered at him.
00:16:10He just pushed his way right in through the gate
00:16:12and walked right up to the tank.
00:16:14You carry a gun?
00:16:15Did you try to stop him?
00:16:16Oh, well, there was much to close the tank.
00:16:18I was afraid to shoot.
00:16:19So I thought I might call for him.
00:16:21Just to cut to the shack, the tank blew up.
00:16:25Oh, you should see the sight.
00:16:26Yeah, sir, can you give us a description of this man?
00:16:30How would you say he was dressed?
00:16:31Well, sir, like I said before,
00:16:34he wore a sort of a, a sort of pliers,
00:16:36not outfit, with a helmet attached to it.
00:16:40How tall was he?
00:16:41Oh, he was a giant of a man.
00:16:43And he had tubes sticking out of that thingy,
00:16:45that helmet he wore.
00:16:47Can you tell us what his face looked like?
00:16:49Well, sir, though you got pretty close to me,
00:16:53I could swear a man had no face.
00:16:56Now, if you saw this man again,
00:16:58would you recognize him?
00:16:59I mean by his outfit.
00:17:00Oh, I'll never forget that sight
00:17:02if I lived to be a hundred, sir.
00:17:04Would you say this is the man?
00:17:07Wait, sure, that's him.
00:17:09Thank you very much.
00:17:10You may go now.
00:17:11All right, sir.
00:17:15Well, Higson,
00:17:17what do you say now?
00:17:19Beats me.
00:17:20Descriptions check all right.
00:17:22This could be some kind of flying suit.
00:17:24High altitude equivalent.
00:17:26Yeah, that's what I've been thinking.
00:17:27Well, how do you explain that stuff
00:17:28about the missing head?
00:17:29Nah, we can discount that.
00:17:31These people were frightened.
00:17:33Tonight, nobody really took a close look at it.
00:17:35I guess you're right.
00:17:36But whoever he is,
00:17:37that offer doesn't look like one of ours.
00:17:40Of course.
00:17:40He could have been dropped by parachute.
00:17:43You mean sabotage?
00:17:44Wait a second.
00:17:45I think we'd better wire a report to Washington
00:17:47and see what they say.
00:17:48Yeah, you can use our teletype.
00:17:50I'll tip off the only place
00:17:51to be on the lookout for something unusual.
00:17:54Hey, wait a minute.
00:17:55What about the press?
00:17:56Oh, I don't think they know too much now.
00:17:57You better keep it that way for a while at least
00:17:59till we find out whether a friend is still around here.
00:18:01Well, if he is,
00:18:02I think we can find him for you.
00:18:03My hunch is that he's carrying something around
00:18:06that's causing all this disturbance
00:18:08whether he knows it or not.
00:18:16Yeah.
00:18:17Kill that page one lead.
00:18:18They let the border and the girl go.
00:18:20Hmm?
00:18:21How do I know?
00:18:22Maybe the lieutenant thinks
00:18:23that the guy in a flying suit
00:18:24knocked off the husband.
00:18:27Mm-hmm.
00:18:27Nah.
00:18:28No, no, not a chance.
00:18:29Not a chance of an exclusive on that picture.
00:18:31They're making a blanket release in the morning.
00:18:34Hmm?
00:18:35Oh, there's a guy
00:18:36from the Communications Commission in there now.
00:18:39Yeah, I'll call you back later if there's anything new.
00:18:41Okay.
00:18:46Come in.
00:18:48Sorry to interrupt you, Lieutenant.
00:18:49Yeah, what is it, Jim?
00:18:50There's a teletype cam for you.
00:18:52Oh, thanks, Jim.
00:18:52We're waiting for it.
00:18:53That was fast.
00:18:54Well, here's our answer.
00:18:58Looks like they never sleep in Washington.
00:19:01Says to contact of Major Andrews,
00:19:03care of Dr. Wyatt,
00:19:04director of the Griffith Institute.
00:19:07It's kind of late.
00:19:08May I give him a call?
00:19:09Well, you're at it.
00:19:10I'll go out the car and check in with Central.
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:12Okay.
00:19:12Well, that's the story up till now.
00:19:23We got in touch with Washington.
00:19:24They told us to contact you here.
00:19:28Very interesting.
00:19:30What do you think, Doctor?
00:19:34When I see something like this,
00:19:36I understand why you gentlemen
00:19:37might have thought sabotage was involved.
00:19:39Lieutenant, are you sure
00:19:41there were no traces of this saboteur,
00:19:44this X-man,
00:19:45found after the explosion in the oil field?
00:19:48Fire department went over every inch of the area.
00:19:51Didn't come up with a thing.
00:19:53Well, then there's a strong possibility
00:19:55that he might have perished
00:19:56in the explosion itself.
00:19:57I doubt that.
00:19:59We're pretty well convinced
00:20:01this man is carrying something
00:20:02that's responsible
00:20:03for all the signal interference.
00:20:07According to the last report I got,
00:20:09there was a definite disturbance
00:20:10about three miles east of the oil fields.
00:20:13Sometime after the explosion.
00:20:16Well, then if he's alive,
00:20:17you should be able to keep
00:20:18an accurate check of his whereabouts.
00:20:19Not that easy.
00:20:20Matter of fact,
00:20:21we lost contact
00:20:22about three quarters of an hour ago.
00:20:23Maybe you realized
00:20:24you were trailing him
00:20:25and got rid of whatever he had
00:20:26that was causing the disturbance.
00:20:28In that case,
00:20:29there's nothing much
00:20:29my department can do to help you.
00:20:32I guess it's up to us.
00:20:35Unless you have some suggestions.
00:20:37Well, let me think out loud
00:20:38for a minute.
00:20:39It might just be
00:20:40that what we've been talking
00:20:41about so far,
00:20:43and this phantom,
00:20:44as we'll call him,
00:20:45ties in with what the doctor
00:20:46and I have been discussing.
00:20:47That is very possible.
00:20:50I don't know whether
00:20:51you know it or not,
00:20:52but somewhere around
00:20:537.30 this evening,
00:20:55our radar networks
00:20:56picked up an unidentified object
00:20:58off Point Barrow, Alaska.
00:21:00They traced it clear down
00:21:01to Santa Monica
00:21:02before they lost it.
00:21:04Santa Monica.
00:21:06That's when we first
00:21:07picked up our radio interference.
00:21:08Yeah.
00:21:09Right at the scene
00:21:10of the murder.
00:21:11Well, then,
00:21:12if all these things tally up,
00:21:13we've got some idea
00:21:14of how our man got here.
00:21:15You mean that he came
00:21:16in some plane?
00:21:17In that case,
00:21:18somebody would have seen it
00:21:19land and take off again.
00:21:21Or did it crash?
00:21:22No.
00:21:23No, we don't think
00:21:24it was a plane.
00:21:26No rocket or jet
00:21:27that has been built so far
00:21:29can attain the speeds
00:21:30of 5,000 miles an hour,
00:21:32particularly for such
00:21:33a great distance.
00:21:34And maybe we're
00:21:35on the wrong track
00:21:36altogether.
00:21:37Couldn't your unidentified
00:21:38object have been a meteor?
00:21:40They travel at a terrific speed.
00:21:43Yes, fast enough
00:21:44for most of them
00:21:44to burn themselves out
00:21:46the moment they hit
00:21:47the Earth's atmosphere.
00:21:49And did it occur to you
00:21:51that meteors are not
00:21:52very likely to travel
00:21:53horizontally all the way
00:21:55from the North Pole
00:21:56to California?
00:21:59Well, if it wasn't a meteor,
00:22:00a flying missile
00:22:01of some type,
00:22:03how do you figure
00:22:04this phantom ties in?
00:22:05We're not sure
00:22:06that he does.
00:22:08I don't care what you say,
00:22:10but it doesn't make sense
00:22:11to me.
00:22:12Anybody trained in sabotage
00:22:14would stay undercover.
00:22:16This guy's walking around
00:22:18in a monkey suit,
00:22:19killing people.
00:22:20Excuse me, Dr. Watt.
00:22:25Is there a Lieutenant
00:22:25Bowers in here?
00:22:26Oh, yes.
00:22:27What is it, Miss?
00:22:28There's a Mr. Wakeman
00:22:29from the Chronicle
00:22:30here to see you.
00:22:31Wakeman here?
00:22:33What does he want?
00:22:34Well, there's only
00:22:35one way to find out.
00:22:36Before you go, Lieutenant,
00:22:37I don't believe
00:22:38you've met my assistant,
00:22:39Barbara Randall.
00:22:41Well, hello.
00:22:42Hello.
00:22:43Hello.
00:22:43It's Mrs. Randall,
00:22:47Lieutenant.
00:22:48I'll be right back.
00:22:50Barbara,
00:22:51you know the major?
00:22:52Of course.
00:22:53And this is Mr.
00:22:54The Communications Commission.
00:22:55How do you do?
00:22:56Well, I see you are
00:22:57working a little later
00:22:58tonight than usual.
00:22:59Yes, my husband's
00:23:00teaching a late class
00:23:01and he won't be able
00:23:01to pick me up for a while.
00:23:03Besides, I had some work
00:23:04to do in the lab.
00:23:05Well, at least you'll
00:23:06have lots of company.
00:23:08All right.
00:23:09So I shouldn't have
00:23:10come up here.
00:23:11But I've got to get you
00:23:11over and go on this
00:23:12beach murder.
00:23:13And your whole department
00:23:14is shut up.
00:23:14Look, Waping,
00:23:15will you stop bothering me?
00:23:17There's nothing to say.
00:23:19If you've got an exclusive
00:23:20story from that Evans,
00:23:21Damon, or Bore,
00:23:22then you know
00:23:22as much as I do.
00:23:23Yeah, but that still
00:23:24doesn't explain anything
00:23:25about the guy
00:23:26without a head.
00:23:27Come on.
00:23:28Who is he?
00:23:29Your guess is as good
00:23:30as mine.
00:23:32You mean you let
00:23:33those two kids go
00:23:34without knowing that?
00:23:36I don't buy it.
00:23:37Well, I did.
00:23:39Well, then you must
00:23:40have an awful good reason.
00:23:43I bet you're trying
00:23:44to tie it in
00:23:44with that other murder.
00:23:47All right, Lieutenant.
00:23:49Don't tell me.
00:23:51I'll get my story
00:23:52somehow.
00:23:54Oh, if you want to know
00:23:55how things turn out,
00:23:57read the Chronicle
00:23:58in the morning.
00:24:01That's right.
00:24:03Now get in touch
00:24:03with Charlie
00:24:04and Mobile One
00:24:05and have him
00:24:05call for me here.
00:24:06Okay, honey.
00:24:07Won't you come up
00:24:07with anything?
00:24:09No, they're just
00:24:10briefing Barbara here.
00:24:11It's just amazing
00:24:12the way you've been
00:24:13able to put
00:24:13these things together.
00:24:15Don't kid yourself,
00:24:16Mr., Mrs. Randall.
00:24:18It seems the press
00:24:19knows as much
00:24:20about it as we do.
00:24:21Well, let's hope
00:24:21they don't come
00:24:22to the same conclusions.
00:24:24A few lurid headlines
00:24:25and every fool
00:24:26on the contrary
00:24:26will be seeing
00:24:27phantoms in space suits
00:24:28and men from Mars
00:24:30all over the place.
00:24:31Yes, I can imagine.
00:24:33And mass hysteria
00:24:33is difficult to check
00:24:34once it gets started.
00:24:36That's why
00:24:36we've got to move fast.
00:24:38Well, from the looks
00:24:39of things,
00:24:39I guess it's up to me.
00:24:41I'll be in touch
00:24:42with you as soon
00:24:42as I hear anything.
00:24:44See you.
00:24:45By 12.30 a.m.,
00:24:47the dragnet
00:24:48was in operation.
00:24:49Mobile units
00:24:50patrolled the streets
00:24:51and countryside.
00:24:53They covered an area
00:24:5435 miles square.
00:24:57Special and sensitive
00:24:58equipment was prepared
00:24:59for action.
00:25:01Everyone on the job
00:25:02was ready to move
00:25:03on the first signal
00:25:04from the communications
00:25:05commission.
00:25:07Monitor Corona
00:25:09to Mobile Center.
00:25:11Strength 4.
00:25:12Brickyard at 160th.
00:25:14Moving toward oil fields.
00:25:16Contact your units.
00:25:18Over and out.
00:25:20Units 1 and 7
00:25:21from Mobile Center.
00:25:22Units 1 and 7
00:25:23from Mobile Center.
00:25:25Strength 4.
00:25:26Interference at 160th
00:25:27in the oil field.
00:25:28Moving due east.
00:25:30Close in.
00:25:31Repeating.
00:25:32Strength 4.
00:25:33Interference at 160th
00:25:34in the oil field.
00:25:35Close in.
00:25:36Close in.
00:25:36near here.
00:25:36Joe.
00:25:41Just got here.
00:25:42You're here Joe. Just got here trying to set this up. What give
00:26:05things in this area all right. Thank you doctor. Why don't walk
00:26:10over those oil fields. Well it doesn't register as far as the oil field. I think
00:26:13we'll do better if we split up. Right lieutenant. You two go that way lieutenant
00:26:16out here. Joe you follow him. Come on doctor. And you. Oh forget it.
00:26:40Hey look at this. Yeah. What this way. Hey Joe. No.
00:26:47Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. That's it doctor.
00:26:54Hey hey. That's all free.
00:27:11That's it, Doctor.
00:27:25It's leading this way.
00:27:29Come on.
00:27:41This way. Come on.
00:27:57Come on.
00:28:11Come on.
00:28:27He's doing strong.
00:28:29That's right. Check with me.
00:28:31Sure does. He's here. We saw him.
00:28:35There he goes.
00:28:37Come on.
00:28:41Where is it?
00:28:43Gotta be around here somewhere.
00:28:45Well, we gotta get in the room.
00:28:47Vince, go get a lot.
00:28:49Let's cut him off.
00:28:53Come on.
00:29:01Anybody see him?
00:29:05There he is.
00:29:11We'll give you ten seconds to come out of there starting now.
00:29:15One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:29:25We're going in.
00:29:39Help you guys cover the door.
00:29:41I know.
00:29:51I know.
00:29:53There's nobody in here.
00:29:54Impossible, we saw him come in.
00:29:55Maybe he went out of the window.
00:29:57We won't get very far.
00:29:58Don't touch anything until we check the fingerprints.
00:30:00Doctor, over here.
00:30:02He left his suit in his helmet.
00:30:04Hey, let's break that thing out so I can get a good shot of it.
00:30:07Get away, you fool.
00:30:08What's the matter?
00:30:09For your information, that's a Geiger counter and it says hands off.
00:30:11I think you'd better wait outside.
00:30:13I just have a job to do.
00:30:14So do we.
00:30:15And I'm afraid I'll have to come first.
00:30:17There's no radiation from the helmet.
00:30:19But look at this.
00:30:23So that's what's been causing all the trouble.
00:30:26Charlie, you know where we can pick up a lead-lined box in a hurry?
00:30:29Well, most of seven should have one right outside.
00:30:31I'll take a look.
00:30:32Hurry it up, will you?
00:30:33Believe it.
00:30:34Now, we all thought that this tantrum might be carrying some device.
00:30:37It was causing all the signal interference.
00:30:39But to learn that it's due to the very close on his body.
00:30:43That's not the only thing that bothers me.
00:30:45Did any of you get a good look at his face?
00:30:47Not me.
00:30:48He's too far away.
00:30:49Well, I did.
00:30:50Unless I'm mistaken.
00:30:51That helmet was empty.
00:30:52Hey, where am I going to put this stuff?
00:30:54Oh, put it in Dr. Wyatt's station right.
00:30:56Let me take it back to the Institute.
00:30:57Right.
00:30:58Find out a thing?
00:31:00No.
00:31:01No, that's all right.
00:31:02You can handle that.
00:31:18Any luck?
00:31:19Not a sign of him.
00:31:20The boys are still searching the grounds.
00:31:22For what?
00:31:23Nobody knows what he looks like without that outfit.
00:31:25Well, better on that, Major.
00:31:26The reporter got a flash picture of him.
00:31:28I just happened to borrow that film.
00:31:29It's on its way to headquarters right now to be developed.
00:31:31Good.
00:31:32Send us a friend as soon as you can.
00:31:33Sure.
00:31:34Lieutenant, are you sure you don't want to come with us?
00:31:36We want to make a few tests at the lab.
00:31:38I'd like to, Doctor.
00:31:40But you know the situation.
00:31:41I've got to get that guy.
00:31:42Let me know how you make out, will you?
00:31:43Yeah, we'll do that.
00:31:44Sure.
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:56Take a look.
00:32:13I don't know.
00:32:43We're just on our way home and we saw you drive in.
00:32:55Good evening, Barbara.
00:32:56Hello, Bill.
00:32:57I see we got here just in time.
00:32:59Anything new?
00:33:00Lots of excitement, but that's all.
00:33:02Major, you know Barbara's husband?
00:33:04Oh, of course.
00:33:05How are you?
00:33:05How are you?
00:33:06There's a nice-looking dog you've got there.
00:33:08What's his name?
00:33:10His name?
00:33:11Venus.
00:33:11Say, Bill, I hate to ask this, but something important has come up, and I wonder, can we borrow Barbara for about an hour or so?
00:33:19I suppose so.
00:33:21Of course.
00:33:22Darling, why don't you go and do the shopping?
00:33:24Here's the list.
00:33:25The market's open all evening.
00:33:28I may as well.
00:33:29See you later, darling.
00:33:30I'll take the dog and tie her up.
00:33:33Thank you, Bill.
00:33:34Good night.
00:33:34Good night.
00:33:36How's it?
00:33:36You had a hand with it.
00:33:37Oh, thanks, Doc.
00:33:38Easy now.
00:33:39Look out for your fingers.
00:33:40All right.
00:33:42All right.
00:33:44Look out, now don't drop it.
00:33:47Venus, come back here.
00:33:48Venus, come back here.
00:33:50What's the matter?
00:34:16There's no one in there.
00:34:18Come on, come back here.
00:34:20See, Venus?
00:34:21Look, there's no one in here.
00:34:23Come on, now.
00:34:24Come on.
00:34:25You know you're not allowed in here.
00:34:27No.
00:34:27Venus, why'd that be quiet?
00:34:31Come on, girl.
00:34:32Now, you stay right here, Venus.
00:34:46And I don't want to hear one sound on it.
00:34:54You were right, Doctor.
00:34:55There are no fingerprints anywhere.
00:34:58What's all this?
00:34:59Hey, don't touch anything.
00:35:00You better put some gloves on.
00:35:02Our friend, Mr. X, left this suit at the oil refinery.
00:35:05You mean you were that close to him and you didn't catch him?
00:35:07I'm afraid so.
00:35:09That's up to the police now.
00:35:11Hand me those sheds.
00:35:12I want to cut back this material to work with it.
00:35:23Say, you better have those sharpened.
00:35:25But I just bought them.
00:35:26All right.
00:35:27Here, try this knife.
00:35:28That still won't cut.
00:35:36Let me try.
00:35:45This stuff is tougher than nylon.
00:35:47Why don't I try it over a Bunsen burner?
00:35:49It doesn't burn either.
00:36:04Let's take a look at it under the microscope.
00:36:06Look, it's magnetic.
00:36:08Magnetic?
00:36:11You're all...
00:36:12Radioactive.
00:36:14And apparently indestructible.
00:36:31What's the matter?
00:36:33You tell me.
00:36:35Take a look at that weave.
00:36:36What weave?
00:36:44There is none.
00:36:47This material is one solid mass.
00:36:50Mathias.
00:36:50Well, you're right.
00:36:57It must be some sort of plastic.
00:36:59No.
00:37:00I'd say it's a metallic substance of some kind.
00:37:02Well, I've seen a lot of interesting alloys, but never anything like this.
00:37:06Let's try an acid test.
00:37:07All right.
00:37:08Go ahead.
00:37:12Careful now.
00:37:13We'll only take a drop or two.
00:37:16It repels acid like a raincoat repels water.
00:37:20Why, there's no reaction.
00:37:25Well, Major, this looks as though we were going to be here for a long time.
00:37:29Now we have it.
00:37:43The helmet is not radioactive.
00:37:45The suit is.
00:37:48There is no doubt.
00:37:50This spacesuit is conditioned to function above 63,000 feet.
00:37:54But a human blood would boil, resulting in the body expanding to twice its size.
00:37:58And death, of course.
00:38:01I know.
00:38:03And it must withstand pressure and counterpressure.
00:38:06Also, it must be so supercharged it can function in thin atmosphere.
00:38:10Now, let's see what it is that is left in its breathing apparatus.
00:38:13Well, how are you doing?
00:38:15The gas from the helmet tank breaks down to 11% methane.
00:38:20Ordinary marsh gas?
00:38:21What's the rest of the formula?
00:38:22Oh, that's where I'm stuck.
00:38:24I can't figure it out.
00:38:26It just doesn't respond to any of the usual tests.
00:38:28Well, how could anyone exist on that combination of gases?
00:38:31You and I couldn't.
00:38:33But apparently, someone can.
00:38:37Doctor, are you trying to say that our X-Man doesn't breathe oxygen?
00:38:41And hasn't the metabolism of a normal human?
00:38:43I really don't know.
00:38:46From what we've seen, he has some visitor characteristics which make him appear human.
00:38:53But added to them is this fabulous radioactivity that none of us could spend.
00:38:58I am...
00:39:02I am...
00:39:02What?
00:39:02I think the answer lies right here in this helmet.
00:39:29Obviously, he needs it to survive.
00:39:32Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked wearing it where he was sure to be recognized.
00:39:34As it is, he only took it off when he was cornered.
00:39:37Well, if what you say is true, how can he exist without it now?
00:39:41Let me put it this way.
00:39:42It's like a patient in an iron lung.
00:39:44Sometimes one can be removed for hours at a time without any ill effects.
00:39:47Exactly.
00:39:48And I think the same principle applies here.
00:39:50And that means sooner or later, he has to get his breathing apparatus back or die.
00:39:56I don't understand.
00:39:57Well, I've got an idea.
00:39:59If we were to return this whole outfit to where he left it, he might be tempted to come back to us.
00:40:09Dr. Wyatt speaking.
00:40:10Yes, he's here.
00:40:12No, thank you.
00:40:13Hello, Major.
00:40:16Still at it, huh?
00:40:17Mm-hmm.
00:40:19No, we haven't got a thing, no.
00:40:21The picture?
00:40:25Yeah, hold on.
00:40:26He says the picture the reporter took of our man didn't come out.
00:40:29I was afraid of something like that.
00:40:31The radio activity must have burned the emotion.
00:40:33Hello.
00:40:35No.
00:40:36No, we didn't find any fingerprints at all in his clothes.
00:40:39Did you find any?
00:40:40Not too bad.
00:40:44Hello.
00:40:46Will you wait there, please?
00:40:48We don't know what to make of this either.
00:40:50Have you heard from the communication boys yet?
00:40:53Let's hope they turn up with something.
00:40:55Major, excuse me.
00:40:57Hold on a second.
00:40:57Yes.
00:40:58It's Mr. Wakeman of the Chronicle.
00:40:59He insists upon seeing you.
00:41:01He does?
00:41:01Where is he?
00:41:02I told him to wait in the lobby.
00:41:03Good.
00:41:04Hello?
00:41:05And it's our friend from the press is here.
00:41:07Don't worry, I wouldn't dare let anyone in on anything.
00:41:18At least not till we get something concrete.
00:41:21Right.
00:41:22All right, I'll see you later.
00:41:25Well, I guess I'd better see this newspaper man.
00:41:27Want to come along, Doctor?
00:41:29I think I will.
00:41:29Oh, hello.
00:41:40Remember me?
00:41:41Certainly, yes.
00:41:42And a nice lot of gadgets you got here.
00:41:44You think so?
00:41:45What's on your mind?
00:41:46Well, I was wondering if you might let me take a couple of pictures of that suit you brought up here.
00:41:49I'm sorry.
00:41:50We can't do that.
00:41:51Oh, well, now, look, I got a wonderful picture of the guy running in the shack, and the lieutenant stuck his nose on my business, and what do I get?
00:41:58A blank.
00:42:15Is that you, Doctor?
00:42:16Well, you must have some lead on this guy, otherwise you wouldn't have brought that suit up here.
00:42:42Well, let's just say we were curious.
00:42:56Hello, Bill.
00:42:58Are you back so soon?
00:42:59Isn't Barbara through?
00:43:01I don't know.
00:43:02She's still in the lab.
00:43:03Why don't you go up and see?
00:43:04Thanks.
00:43:04I will.
00:43:05Barbara?
00:43:14Barbara, are you in there?
00:43:16Bill, listen to me.
00:43:18I'm not alone.
00:43:19Someone is in here with me.
00:43:22I can't see him.
00:43:24He locked the door and has the key.
00:43:27I'll break the door down.
00:43:28No, Bill, don't.
00:43:29Please.
00:43:30You better get help.
00:43:31You mean I've come all the way up here for nothing?
00:43:35I'm afraid so.
00:43:36Good night.
00:43:37Yes.
00:43:37Good night, Mr. Wakeman.
00:43:39Good night.
00:43:51Major, come quick.
00:43:52What's the matter?
00:43:52What's the matter?
00:43:52Where's Barbara?
00:43:53In the lab.
00:43:54The door's locked and there's someone in there with me.
00:43:55I thought you said the door was locked.
00:44:05It was.
00:44:06She's gone.
00:44:07Oh, come in the main entrance.
00:44:08That's the only way anybody could leave.
00:44:10I will.
00:44:10Well, in that case, we would have seen her on our way up.
00:44:12Well, then she must still be in the building.
00:44:13We'd better split up.
00:44:14I'll take the roof.
00:44:17Barbara!
00:44:19Barbara!
00:44:20Barbara!
00:44:22Barbara!
00:44:22Barbara!
00:44:25Barbara!
00:44:27Barbara!
00:44:28Barbara!
00:44:29Barbara!
00:44:29Where are you?
00:44:30Barbara!
00:44:31Barbara!
00:44:48Barbara!
00:44:49Barbara!
00:44:50Barbara!
00:44:51Barbara!
00:44:52Barbara!
00:44:53Barbara!
00:44:54Barbara!
00:44:55What
00:45:03Barbara
00:45:05Barbara not yet you must be around your someplace that you stay here watch the
00:45:26main entrance and I'll check the basement
00:45:56she's not up there where's the doctor he went out of the basement here he comes you didn't find
00:46:21though I better call the police but there's no telling what could happen to her in the meantime
00:46:26now now take it easy we're doing the best we can but she said she was locked in and she couldn't
00:46:31see who did it can you explain that no not yet
00:46:51who are you don't come near me I'm warning you don't come near me
00:47:08don't
00:47:16I don't understand you're trying to tell me you needed to breathe and there isn't much left in the tank
00:47:37one one two one one two three
00:47:44I'll write it down
00:47:50one one two one one two three
00:48:07in the lab
00:48:20no please don't
00:48:36she's in there
00:48:40she's in there
00:48:47I'm sure so
00:48:49darling are you all right I think so I'm looking for it I just saw him so he must be in here
00:48:56the ground
00:49:03you'll be killed
00:49:08right
00:49:11I
00:49:15I
00:49:17I couldn't see him. I didn't know what to do.
00:49:28Come here, quick.
00:49:30It's disintegrating.
00:49:34This is amazing.
00:49:47Now, now, try it down, Venus.
00:49:57Try it down.
00:50:01Down.
00:50:17Mobile Center from Mobile One, come in, please.
00:50:27This is Mobile Center.
00:50:29Go ahead.
00:50:30Get hold of Major Andrews or Dr. Wyatt at the Institute.
00:50:34I want to talk to either one of them.
00:50:36I will do.
00:50:37Stand by, Mobile One.
00:50:41Dr. Wyatt speaking.
00:50:43Oh, yes, Mr. Hazen.
00:50:46Yes, we're still at it.
00:50:49Lots and lots of excitement, but nothing definite yet.
00:50:53Have you anything to say?
00:50:55The trouble seems to be just about gone.
00:50:58We got a flash in the direction of the observatory once in a while,
00:51:01but I figure that's because of the outfits you're testing.
00:51:07Yes, Lieutenant Bowers ought to be here any minute.
00:51:11Of course.
00:51:12How long will it take you to get up here?
00:51:15Good.
00:51:16See you then.
00:51:22Thank you, gentlemen.
00:51:23Put it down here, please.
00:51:24Barbara, putting that cord in over there.
00:51:27Now you're going to see I have to resort to ultraviolet light
00:51:31in order to show you what little there is left of the spacesuit.
00:51:34As you can see, it has reduced itself to this liquid and it is in an evaporating stage.
00:51:46The helmet is in the lab and still intact.
00:51:49This is amazing.
00:51:59All the radiation in this suit would be fatal to a normal human being wearing it.
00:52:04Of course.
00:52:05And furthermore, our respiratory system could never simulate gases such as we have found in that breathing device.
00:52:13Well, then we have to assume our so-called X-Man carried his own atmosphere with him.
00:52:18Excuse me.
00:52:19But as a matter of curiosity, why do we refer to this thing as a hymn?
00:52:25I thought it was invisible.
00:52:27Under normal conditions, yes.
00:52:30Yet, Mrs. Randall did see the imprint of a large foot and a masculine hand under ultraviolet light.
00:52:38How do you explain that?
00:52:41I don't know.
00:52:42But the human body is composed of various elements with a carbon base.
00:52:48Like coal.
00:52:49Yes.
00:52:50Now, suppose we maintain the same chemical composition in the body of the X-Man,
00:52:56but substitute silica for carbon.
00:52:59Silica, that's glass.
00:53:01Exactly.
00:53:02Now, it is possible that the body with such a base,
00:53:05if it were subjected to an atmosphere foreign to its origin,
00:53:09might appear invisible to our eyes.
00:53:12Are you trying to say, Doctor, that we're not dealing with a human being?
00:53:18I didn't say that.
00:53:21On the contrary,
00:53:23all the evidence points in the opposite direction.
00:53:27Toward a superhuman with an intelligence far superior to our own.
00:53:32How can you tell?
00:53:33First of all, Mrs. Randall saw that he has a hand with digits like our own fingers,
00:53:40and a thumb opposing.
00:53:42That alone is a sign of intelligence.
00:53:44And he comes from a civilization that has developed adequate space transportation
00:53:51to enable him to travel to Earth.
00:53:54We have nothing yet that can reach even another planet in our own solar system.
00:54:00That could account for the unidentified objects picked up by radar a few hours ago.
00:54:05My theory is that the spaceship, or whatever it was that he came in,
00:54:11operated under principle of magnetic rather than atomic proportion,
00:54:17and that somewhere in the outer limits met with a condition where the Earth's gravity pulled it down,
00:54:24and it fell into the ocean.
00:54:26And that he managed to save his life and reach shore.
00:54:30You really can pick up any type of communications interference, no matter how weak the signal may be.
00:54:36Sure thing.
00:54:37We were on his trail from the minute he left the beach.
00:54:40I never knew you'd carry such sensitive instruments in your car.
00:54:47What you told us is very interesting, Doctor.
00:54:50But I've got to make an official report to headquarters.
00:54:53Are you willing to be quoted that the criminal we're after is a creature from another world?
00:54:58All I can say is we know that our Earth is not the only planet capable of sustaining life in one form or another.
00:55:07You can't quote that.
00:55:09All I've got to go by is some footprints and a hand.
00:55:12There isn't much.
00:55:14No fingerprints, no description, no nothing.
00:55:17And we're after a killer.
00:55:19Has it occurred to you that our X-Man has no apparent motivation for his acts?
00:55:24And might therefore not be an intentional criminal at all.
00:55:27You have a point there.
00:55:28Hey, wait a minute.
00:55:30Come to think of it, the young Bauder we suspected, he did say that the girl's husband threw the first punch.
00:55:35So?
00:55:36So that could have been enough to provoke the strange creature.
00:55:39And the same could have happened with the second murder.
00:55:41Sure.
00:55:43What about the fire in the oil fields?
00:55:45Evidently our man sensed the presence of some gases, which he thought might be utilized in his breathing apparatus.
00:55:52Yeah, that could account for his presence at the oil refineries.
00:55:55Where something went wrong causing the explosion.
00:55:57Too bad he got wise to us and took off his uniform, or we'd have been able to catch up with him by now.
00:56:12No, he didn't utter a word.
00:56:14But I'm convinced he was trying to convey a message to me.
00:56:17He kept tapping out a code.
00:56:19I wrote it down.
00:56:21Let me see that, please.
00:56:23Doesn't make sense.
00:56:25Well, it may be based on some mathematical system we know nothing about.
00:56:29But he was trying to tell us something.
00:56:32Why did he run away?
00:56:34What do you think of that?
00:56:35Hell.
00:56:36Hazen must be crazy sending out stuff like that.
00:56:38I guess so.
00:56:39Let's try and get a hold of him.
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:41Mobile one from mobile one.
00:56:42No.
00:56:43No.
00:56:44No.
00:56:45No.
00:56:46No.
00:56:47No.
00:56:48No.
00:56:49No.
00:56:50No.
00:56:51No.
00:56:52No.
00:56:54No.
00:56:55No.
00:56:56No.
00:56:57No.
00:56:58No.
00:56:59No.
00:57:00No.
00:57:01No.
00:57:02No.
00:57:03No.
00:57:04No.
00:57:05No.
00:57:06No.
00:57:07No.
00:57:08No.
00:57:09No.
00:57:10No.
00:57:11No.
00:57:12No.
00:57:13No.
00:57:14No.
00:57:15No.
00:57:16No, no.
00:57:17No.
00:57:18No.
00:57:19No.
00:57:22No.
00:57:23No, no, no, no, sir.
00:57:26No.
00:57:27No, but no.
00:57:28Yeah, we're gonna keep him alive.
00:57:30No.
00:57:33Yeah.
00:57:35Of course, I'll mail you a complete report first thing in the morning.
00:57:39Yes, thank you.
00:57:40Oh, and I'm, I'm awfully sorry to disturb you so late at night.
00:57:44Right, good night, sir.
00:57:47He's around here, this invisible guy, he was in the car.
00:57:50How do you know?
00:57:51I was talking to Randall outside when I heard Central calling.
00:57:54Before I could get over to answer, I saw the door open and shut by itself.
00:57:58He's desperate.
00:58:00For all we know, he could be trying to send a distress signal to his home base,
00:58:03wherever that is.
00:58:04Well, let's hope he doesn't get through.
00:58:05We've got enough problems with just one of those guys.
00:58:08Well, at least we know he's surrounded in the vicinity,
00:58:10and it's obvious what keeps him around.
00:58:12Of course, he's got to come back for what little gas there is left in this helmet.
00:58:16And when he does?
00:58:18Well, please, the most important thing is to take him alive.
00:58:21If we can only make each other understand,
00:58:24there's no telling how much science can profit.
00:58:26I'll go along with that, Doctor.
00:58:27But I've got to make sure that once he's cornered,
00:58:30I'll be able to hang on to him.
00:58:32I think we're all agreed on that.
00:58:33All right, good, Ben.
00:58:34We must see it from his angle.
00:58:36He's in an alien world.
00:58:37No doubt we are as frightening to him as he is to us.
00:58:40Now, the most important thing, then, is to keep calm at all costs
00:58:44and do nothing to provoke him.
00:58:47Immediately, a simple plan to trap the Phantom went into operation.
00:58:51All obstacles to his entry were removed.
00:58:54To erase any possible suspicion, the doors were left unguarded
00:58:59and inconspicuous electric eye equipment was set up.
00:59:03All this was connected to a makeshift control board,
00:59:08which would immediately signal the exact location of the trespasser.
00:59:12Now, there was nothing to do but wait.
00:59:15The one road leading to the Institute is blocked off
00:59:20to make certain no outsider would upset the plans
00:59:22or interfere in any way.
00:59:25What's the big idea?
00:59:27Sorry nobody's allowed through here.
00:59:29Who said so?
00:59:30Lieutenant Bower's orders.
00:59:31Oh, is he up there?
00:59:33He might be.
00:59:34Well, you get word to him that Joe Wakeman of the Chronicle is here.
00:59:37Sorry, bud.
00:59:37I can't leave.
00:59:38Oh, what about them over there?
00:59:41Hey, you over there.
00:59:42Me?
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:44Aren't you the guy from the communications outfit?
00:59:46Didn't I see you down at the oil fields a couple hours ago?
00:59:49What of it?
00:59:50You got anything to do with this?
00:59:51Well, you'll have to ask Lieutenant Bowers about that.
00:59:54How can I if he won't see me?
00:59:57That's a good question.
01:00:08Well, it's quarter to four.
01:00:17Sure taking his time.
01:00:20Time is cheap.
01:00:22Yeah, well, how long can you sit on the edge of your chair like this?
01:00:25More there if we have to.
01:00:27I hope this mechanism works.
01:00:30It will, unless he flies in between the wires.
01:00:32I wouldn't take any buts that he can't.
01:00:34Well, if everything else fails, we still have Venus here to help us.
01:00:40You know, I'm certain she's sentenced to the prisons before.
01:00:42That's why she carried on so.
01:00:55What's the matter, Lieutenant?
01:00:56Is this thing getting you?
01:00:58Oh, no, no.
01:00:59I'm just thinking about the public reaction to all this.
01:01:02I'll give something to the press by morning.
01:01:20You know, ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot.
01:01:23Then after I got my wings and had 75 missions, I thought I'd seen everything.
01:01:28Now, after all this, I know I haven't seen anything.
01:01:30He's here.
01:01:33The back end.
01:01:34Let's cut him off.
01:01:34Yeah, yeah, no, take it easy.
01:01:35Don't try it.
01:01:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02:06Me?
01:02:07Slowly.
01:02:08This way.
01:02:27Cut it out!
01:02:36Hey, what are you guys trying to do?
01:02:43Well, it's the reporter.
01:02:45Yeah, it sure is.
01:02:46What's going on around here?
01:02:47You guys crazy?
01:03:00How'd you get in here?
01:03:01Oh, I don't make any difference.
01:03:02Come on, what's up?
01:03:03What's going on?
01:03:06All right, Lieutenant, you better tell him.
01:03:15I'll reset the wires.
01:03:17Don't be afraid.
01:03:18We want you to live.
01:03:26Don't you understand?
01:03:28Can't you speak?
01:03:29Can't you say something, anything, in any language?
01:03:37Listen, everybody.
01:03:38He's in the lab with me now.
01:03:42He's in the lab with me now.
01:03:43He's in the lab with me now.
01:03:55He's in the lab with me now.
01:03:56He's in the lab with me now.
01:03:57Phoenix, be quiet.
01:03:58The door is unlocked.
01:03:59Hurry.
01:04:00He's having trouble breathing.
01:04:01I don't think he can last much longer.
01:04:02And please, don't let Venus get at him.
01:04:03And walk in quietly.
01:04:04Quiet, Venus.
01:04:05It's unbelievable.
01:04:30You see, there's nothing to be afraid of.
01:04:40Nobody wants to hurt you.
01:04:42I've tried to reason with it.
01:04:44I feel he understands, but he can't speak.
01:04:46Wait a minute.
01:04:47I'll try his code.
01:04:48I think I remember it right.
01:05:04Better plug in the ultraviolet light.
01:05:13I'm scared.
01:05:14I'm scared.
01:05:23There goes Venus.
01:05:26No, no, no.
01:05:28No, no.
01:05:33No, no, no.
01:05:35No, no, no.
01:05:37No, no, no, no.
01:05:40No, no, no, no.
01:06:01Look, Venus.
01:06:02He must be there.
01:06:07Take this.
01:06:09I'm going after you.
01:06:11To.
01:06:13To.
01:06:15To.
01:06:19To.
01:06:25To.
01:06:27To.
01:06:31To.
01:06:33To.
01:06:35I'm going after you.
01:06:47That door.
01:06:50In here by the big telescope.
01:07:05Close the door. The switch is over there.
01:07:25No sense of something.
01:07:27Quiet, Venus.
01:07:28Well, if he's in here, he'll never get out now.
01:07:30This is what I've been waiting for.
01:07:33Please, Lieutenant. This is our last chance.
01:07:36We have to take him alive.
01:07:38Plug in the lamps.
01:07:39There's an outlet here.
01:07:49He must be up there.
01:07:50I haven't seen this with my own eyes.
01:07:54What do we do now?
01:07:55Stand back.
01:07:56Amazing.
01:08:02It's cold again.
01:08:03Look.
01:08:04He's trying to speak, but no sound is coming out of his mouth.
01:08:05What do we do now?
01:08:06Stand back.
01:08:07Amazing.
01:08:08There's cold again.
01:08:09Look.
01:08:10He's trying to speak, but no sound is coming out of his mouth.
01:08:14Look at Venus.
01:08:15She acts as though she hears him.
01:08:26Yes.
01:08:27We cannot hear sounds that we can.
01:08:28Look, he's trying to speak, but no sound is coming out of his mouth.
01:08:33Look at Venus.
01:08:34She acts as though she hears him.
01:08:36Yes.
01:08:38Dog can't hear sounds that we can.
01:08:40His voice must be beyond the range of the human ear.
01:08:44Maybe he's screaming.
01:08:48He's suffocating.
01:08:54But Chloe, it's almost gone.
01:08:58We won't need these lights anymore.
01:09:26In death, the earth becomes visible.
01:09:28As a normal body.
01:09:44Look.
01:09:46The Ghost is saying.
01:09:48She's trying to think, but what type of thing is that we can see if we can see it when the sound of heaven is human working.
01:09:51That's what he says.
01:09:51He knows not to kill herself.
01:09:54But Sophie is telling themselves about the ghost.
01:09:56Blinded livelihood.
01:09:57Save them from the road.
01:09:59Save them from the struggles.
01:10:00ども is early on.
01:10:01Enjoy their plan.
01:10:02A sleepy leader has come the jail.
01:10:03He is evaporating.
01:10:33So he came here, wherever from, and right before our eyes, his body went through the final phases of life.
01:11:03Well, it's morning.
01:11:33THE END
01:12:03THE END
