NARRATOR:
How does a nightmare begin?

For David Vincent, architect,
returning home from a business trip,

it began at a few minutes past 4
on a lost Tuesday morning,

looking for a shortcut
that he never found.

It began with a welcoming sign
that gave hope of black coffee.

It began with a closed,
deserted diner,

and a man too long without sleep
to continue his journey.

In the weeks to come,

David Vincent would go back
to how it all began many times.

Highway 166, dirt road, Bud--

Wait a second.

Bud's Diner.
Well, anything else, Mr. Vincent?

I know it sounds wild.
There was this--

There was this light, a kind of glow.

Yes, you told us that. Anything else?

Well, no, I got out of there right away.
I came here.

I see. Show him in.

Now, look, that ship landed
just over an hour ago.

It could still be there. Now, if you
want me to go, I'll go with you.

Oh, I don't think that will be necessary,
Mr. Vincent.

- David, what happened?
- Alan, what are you doing here?

They woke me up to ask me if I have
a partner who sees things. So I--

Oh, excuse me. My name is Landers.
I'm Mr. Vincent's partner.

I thought maybe I could help.

I know who you are, Mr. Landers.
I appreciate your coming down,

but I think you told us everything
we needed to know on the phone.

They wanted to know if you were really
on a business trip.

Then they told me some wild story

about your claiming
to have seen a space ship.

I'm afraid it's true.

I know, it shook me up too.

HOLMAN: Mr. Vincent, you've driven
a long way in the last 20 hours.

I'd like to suggest you leave
your car here.

Mr. Landers or one of my men
will drive you.

I'm not going anywhere
until you do something.

You're gonna need those notes
to find the ship.

- It's 6 a.m. and we're all a little tired.
- Stop playing games with me.

I insist you do something.

Well, it seems to be Kelly's Diner.

You said Bud's Diner.

Ready to go home now, Mr. Vincent?

It came down right over here.

It stretched out, uh,

from about right around
in through here.

It looks as if nobody's been
around here for a hundred years.

Alan, I saw it.

Look, I'm no crackpot,
you know that.

I really saw it.

All right, David.

[GUNSHOT]

Hello.

Say, I was driving out here last night
and I saw something very--

Excuse me. Vincent.

- That was a good shot.
- Thank you.

I'm Detective Lieutenant Holman.

We're investigating an incident
reported last night by Mr. Vincent here.

Uh, what sort of incident?

Were you around here last night?

At what time?

- All night.
- All night?

Well, yes, see,
we have this camper truck

parked up behind
the big tree over there.

My wife and I, we, uh,
were just married.

How long have you been
camped here?

Uh, two days.

At approximately 4:20
this morning,

did you see or hear
anything unusual?

- No.
- Nothing.

How can you be sure of anything

- at 4:00 in the morning?
- Mr. Vincent, let me.

BRANDON: Well, look, you see,
we were awake, you know?

We were getting ready to go fishing.
I mean, uh, there was nothing.

Well, you must have seen something.
I drove in here. I parked at the diner.

Now, if you were awake,
you must have seen me.

I'm sorry.

- It was here. Right--
- Wait a minute, Mr. Vincent.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Oh, I'll need some identification
for the report.

Well, I, uh, do have a driver's licence.

I suppose you'll be in the vicinity
a few days

in case there are any further
questions, Mr. Brandon.

Uh....

Well, we had planned
on going back today.

Pretty short honeymoon.

Yes, it is.
Well, I have to get back to my store.

But, uh, we'd be glad to stay
until tonight.

Thank you, Mr. Brandon.

Oh, uh,
congratulations on your marriage.

Thank you.

Mrs. Brandon.

- What do you want?
- I wanna ask you a question.

Did you change the sign
on that diner?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

We agreed to stay until this evening,
but we have to go.

Quickly, get the truck.
It's past time for me.

You, you go away.

Nobody has hurt you.

- I wanna see your hands.
- We have to go.

- Take off those gloves.
- We have to go!

Hurry.

Hurry up.

What happened?

Do you remember anything?

Oh, the truck.

I almost got out of the way
it must have sideswiped me.

Don't try to remember anymore.

- Take these.
- What are they?

Something to help you
get back to sleep.

No. No.

Otherwise, we will be forced
to administer it intravenously.

Will you take these now?

Arthur Gordon?

What are you trying to do to me?
What is this?

You're one of them, aren't you?

[YELLS]

Help. Help me.

For God's sake, help me.

All right?

Oh, yeah. Fine, thanks.

MAN:
David.

Oh, hi, buddy.

David, I wanna tell you how sorry
I am about what happened yesterday,

but I was afraid in a larger hospital
there might be reporters,

and people who would twist the story
of what you saw.

I didn't wanna take a chance
on your making any calls,

and I gave them a phoney name.

I tried to tell you yesterday,

but they had you too heavily sedated,
I couldn't.

As it stands, one of the papers
did get wind of your accident,

- but I think I talked them out of using--
- Accident?

You don't remember?

Holman says your car went off
the road and you were thrown clear.

No, no.
That's not the way it happened.

I, uh, brought some magazines
for you.

The doctor told me you can
go home tonight.

And I don't wanna see you in that
office for at least two weeks.

- They'll have your car fixed--
- Will you listen to me for a moment?

I found some proof.
I can't show it to you,

but that man and woman
at that camper truck,

they were some kind of alien being.
I know it.

There was something about their skin.
They--

They started to glow.

And their hands,
the bone structure was different.

David, please. That's over now.

It's not over.

You've gotta talk to Holman
and find out everything you can

- about that man and woman.
- No more. Not now.

We'll talk about it later.
I've got to get back to the office.

We'll talk about it this evening
when I pick you up.

I promise.

It wasn't easy,

but I got the name and address of that
honeymoon couple from Holman.

Mr. and Mrs. John Brandon,

285 Front Street, Kinney. Kinney?

It's a little town between
San Luis Obispo and Bakersfield.

David.

I want to believe you.

Thanks.

[SIRENS WAILING]

All right, get those other people.
You all right? Come on, let's go.

- These look like the last ones.
- All right. Dennis,

- bring up that ladder.
- There's an old woman up there.

Better go check her out.

Let's have those flag poles up here.
All right, Dennis, where's the ladder?

Any idea how it started?

The old woman,
she must have done it.

Pete and Phil, they broke through.

There's nobody there.

- No body. No nothing.
- Well, she's--

WOMAN:
Can I help you?

I'm Mrs. Adams. I run this place.

Looks like you lost a town somewhere.
Where is everybody?

Our total population
is down to 12 now.

And that's including the two dogs
and my little Siamese cat. Thank you.

Doesn't seem to affect business.

Oh, the sign? That just means
we're not open to the public right now.

Golly, it's hot.

I'm, uh, looking for someone.
A man and a woman named Brandon.

- They gave this as--
- Pardon?

Brandon? A man and a woman?
They gave this as their last address.

Brandon. Gee, I don't think I've--

Sorry, it doesn't ring any bells.

You can check the register,

but if they were clients of Mr. Kogan's
they wouldn't have registered.

DAVID:
Who's Mr. Kogan?

Well, I don't suppose there's
any real secret to it.

Mr. Kogan's the head
of the investment group

that's buying up this town.

I think they're going to turn it into
one of these retirement cities.

- How do you go about buying a town?
- Well, I--

First, you gotta find the right town.

Then you just walk in
with a suitcase full of cash.

Howdy, my name's Carver.
I saw your car outside.

- You, uh, looking for someone?
- A couple of friends.

Well, they probably moved away.

This used to be a going town

until the state closed down
its hydroelectric plant.

Oh, a few of them are still holding out,
but in the end, they'll sell.

Does that include you?

No, I sold out just after
my husband died.

I'm staying on as a sort of caretaker
until Mr. Kogan's group takes over.

Sometimes he sends clients
down here.

CARVER: Mind if I have
some lemonade, Kathy?

- Oh, no, go right ahead.
- Thank you.

Uh, when Mr. Kogan does bring
his clients down here,

what do they do?

- Hunting and fishing, I guess.
- Where?

Gee, you know, I don't know.

Let's see, there's a wooded lake
a couple of miles north of here.

And there's the river, of course.

- Where's that?
- On the other side of town.

Gee, I'm awful sorry I couldn't be
of more help.

No, no, thank you.

- Really.
- Thank you.

- So long.
- Goodbye.

When is Lieutenant Holman
due back?

Well, tell him he was right.

That psycho of his
did show up down here.

I'll keep an eye on him.

MAN: Kinney speaking
to Bakersfield control,

red alert, red alert.

Kinney speaking
to Bakersfield control,

red alert, red alert.

Kinney speaking
to Bakersfield control,

red alert, red alert.

Kinney speaking
to Bakersfield control,

red alert, red alert.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING
ON JUKEBOX]

Have you got a telephone
that works?

Pardon me,
do you have a telephone?

- What?
- Do you have a telephone that works?

No, they ain't pulled that one yet.

Operator, I wanna make a collect call
to Santa Barbara.

The number is 555-5235.

My name is David Vincent,
I'm calling Mr. Landers.

Alan, it's David. I'm in Kinney.

I think I found something,
some proof.

Alan, you've gotta come up here
right away.

If you don't get here right away,
somehow it'll all be gone.

I'm not sure
I can get away right now.

Look, they're here in Kinney.
They may be--

They may be all over this planet.
Now, I need a witness.

Just one witness.

Look, Alan, if I can't ask you,
who can I ask?

I'll be there as soon as I can.

All right. Now, there's a hotel
on Front Street here.

I'll be waiting for you there.

Thanks, buddy.

I see you've found the sole
entertainment centre in Kinney.

Yeah, I heard the music.

Have you met Mr. Kemper?
He's one of our last holdouts.

And those are the Ackerman girls.
They live just outside of town.

Can I offer you some coffee?

- Oh, that's a good idea.
- Good.

Deputy Carver's looking for you.

He telephoned Santa Barbara.

Hey, you don't look like
a dangerous psycho to me.

I'm not.

If you're worried about him, don't be.
He already checked here.

It'll be a while
before he comes back again.

Here.

- Is something the matter?
- No.

Now, how long has Carver
been in town?

A few months.
Uh, he came in about the same time

the Kogan people
began buying up the town.

Doesn't what Carver said about me
bother you at all?

Mm-mm.

Just because you happen to see
certain things doesn't mean--

Who said anything about
seeing things?

Carver.

Oh, I've been through this before.

For months before my husband died,
he kept saying over and over--

Well, what did he see?

No.

Well, how did he die?

Well, it-- It was a heart attack.

- Tell me what he saw, please.
- No. It's over.

He's dead and I don't
wanna talk about it anymore.

Please, don't go.
Mrs. Adams, I need your help.

- I wasn't sure I could talk.
- I've gotta take this--

- Look, Mr...
- David Vincent.

- Mr. Vincent, I--
- Will you sit down here

and just listen to me for a moment?

Please.

I'm gonna tell you something
you won't believe.

Someday I'll get them all.

There were transparent tubes
large enough to fit a human form.

Now, I think they need these tubes
to regenerate themselves somehow.

I don't know.

- If I could see them, see something.
- Yeah.

Well, maybe when
my friend gets here.

I want you to see them.

Because, Mrs. Adams,

when Kogan finishes buying up this
town, his people are gonna take over.

They'll have a foothold,
and it's gotta be stopped.

Because who knows how many towns
like this there are in the world.

All right.

All right, is there anything I can do
to help you?

Do you believe me?

I don't know what I believe.

Just tell me what I can do.

- Is your aunt still at the motel?
- Yes.

Tell her that my business partner
is coming here.

He'll be here in a few hours.
His name is Landers.

I can call her from here.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

And tell her to have him meet me here.
But don't let Carver find out about it.

- Look, what was his name again?
- Landers.

Landers.

If that Vincent fella comes back here,
Aunt Sara, try and stall him, all right?

I'll certainly do what I can do.

We don't think he's dangerous. Things
seem to happen when he's around.

Fires, accidents, you know?

We just wanna keep an eye on him.

All right. Thank you, Lou.

Oh, Mr. Kemper, I'll close up.

-Uh, we're waiting for a friend.
-Oh.

Okay.

- Good night.
- Good night.

It's funny how a man's life
can change so fast.

After I saw that saucer,

it seems as though I had been cut off
from everything, piece by piece.

Was it the same with your husband?

Kathy.

Yes.

Yes, it was the same.

You know, I've been thinking.

What happened to him
might not have been a heart attack.

They could have ways
of arranging that.

If that's true, then it could happen
again with you.

No.

I've already talked too loud

and that fire in my apartment
was their last safe shot.

Anything more would cause
a lot of attention,

make people think
maybe I was right.

CARVER:
Kemper?

[DOORKNOB RATTLES]

Kemper?

Maybe your friend won't come.

- Nah, he was delayed. He'll be here.
- How can you be sure?

- He'll be here.
- Why should he really believe?

You saw what happened when you told
the truth. Suspicion, right?

Ridicule. It's going to happen again,
you'll see.

He'll be here.

[TYRES SCREECHING]

- I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
- Oh, that's all right, that's all right.

You are looking for Mr. Vincent,
aren't you?

Why, yes, that's right.

Well, he said you were to meet him
at the power station.

You're to park your car there.

- Here.
- Yeah, go on.

Did you hear a car just now?

No.

Oh, David. Hey, forget about him.

Look, he won't come.
He's no different than anybody else.

Nobody wanted to hear the truth
from my husband.

They just wanted to sell at a profit
and get out of this town.

A lot of things killed him.
Hate, greed, ignorance.

If he'd thought about it, he would've
wondered what he was fighting for.

What is there in this world
that's so special, so worth preserving?

You still have time.

You can think about that.

[ROCK MUSIC
PLAYING ON JUKEBOX]

Why did you do that?
You know I'm listening for Landers.

[MUSIC STOPS]

David, David. I did it to wake you up.

Don't spend your life listening
for cars that will never come.

Looking for faces
you can never find.

Fingers?

We're not all like that, David.

Some of us learn.

We're always learning.

Don't go.

Don't fight us.

You can't stop it.
It's going to happen.

Don't go.

Don't fight us.

No, don't go.

Alan.

Alan.

Alan!

David.

David.

Alan!

CARVER:
Hold it, hold it.

Now, easy, Mr. Vincent.

Now, don't be afraid.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

We have to get into
that power station right away.

Sure.

Now, look, if you're not one of them,
you gotta help me.

Sure.

My partner's there. He's alone.

- They're gonna kill him.
- Sure.

First thing, I'll call Mr. Kogan.

If it's all right, we'll go take a look
at his power station.

Oh, no.

[SCREAMING]

Alan.

Alan.

Alan?

Alan.

All right, Vincent.

They did it.

Sheriff, they--

What happened? What is it?

- Nothing, Mr. Kemper.
- What?

Just a sick fella
who got a little out of hand.

You two help me load him
into the car, will you?

What a shame.

He looked and talked so normal.

You just never know.

Good to see you, Ben.
Four or five years now.

HOLMAN:
Well, Vincent,

he'd still be alive today if he hadn't
wanted to believe your crazy dreams.

Sheriff Carver checked out
the power station.

Except for him, there was nothing.

No, there wouldn't be, not now.

The coroner's report was
heart attack.

Whatever you think,
that's the way it was.

Sure.

Ben, what do you want me to do
with him?

- Let him go.
- Let him go?

That's right. Let him go.

Well, I don't know
why you came here, Vincent,

but don't come back.

No reason to.

Not anymore.

Lieutenant.

I know I can find an answer to this
if you'll only help me.

This is the final word, Vincent,
the bottom line.

For your own sake, let it end here.

Whatever you're planning,
let it end here.

I wish I could.

NARRATOR:
How does a nightmare end?

Not here in the forgotten town
of Kinney.

Perhaps in Bakersfield.

Perhaps at some undiscovered
beachhead

in another state,
or another continent.

Perhaps, for David Vincent,
it will never end.
