Next, the invaders in color.

Hank, wait a minute!

Hey, Hank!

Hey, what's the matter? It's your partner. I think he's had a heart

What? Phil?

Phil, are you okay?

Through the window up there, I saw a man.

He was glowing like he was on fire.

They were putting him in some kind of a tube.

I swear, Phil. Maybe you'd better let us take care of him. Get out of here or

I'll take care of him.

The Invaders.

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring Roy Finnis as architect David Vincent.

The Invaders.

Alien beings from a dying planet.

Their destination, the Earth.

Their purpose.

To make it their world.

David Vincent has seen them. For him, it began one lost night on a lonely

country road looking for a shortcut that he never found.

It began with a closed, deserted diner and a man too long without sleep to

continue his journey.

It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy.

David Vincent knows that the invaders are here, that they have taken human

Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already

begun.

The guest stars in tonight's story, Jack Lord, Alfred

Ryder, and special guest star, Diana Hyland.

Tonight's episode, Vicar.

David Vincent had read the story in the newspapers.

How, before he died, a telephone lineman had described to his partner a glowing,

burning man.

The story was investigated by the police and promptly forgotten.

Seeking the truth, David Vincent traveled to Fort Scott, Florida,

of Vigor Enterprises, and perhaps headquarters for a people from an alien

Couldn't leave it alone, could you?

The other telephone lineman had to die, too, huh?

Accidents will happen, Mr. Vicker. He had an accident. Well, I don't want any

more accidents.

Is that understood?

I've had my belly full of being questioned.

The police seem satisfied.

Well, I'm not.

Look, Mr. Nexus.

Killing hasn't bothered me in a long time, but stupidity does.

What would you have had us do, Mr. Vicker?

Nothing. Nobody would have believed him. Nobody did.

What happens next time somebody stumbles onto something?

I sincerely hope there won't be a next time.

Mr. Vicar, if it's your conscience that's bothering you, I told you my

for objecting.

Well, if it is conscience, try to remember the importance of what we're

here and your stake in it.

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it.

You make it sound very attractive, Mr. Nexus.

But how do I know you'll keep your part of the bargain, huh?

How do I know?

You'll have all the power you could possibly use, Mr. Vicar. Take my word.

I told you to hold my calls, Harriet.

Who?

Yeah, I'll take it.

Hello, Sergeant.

What's the problem?

Is she all right?

Yeah, I'd be.

Yeah, I'll be right down.

You'll have to excuse me, Mr. Nexus. It's my wife.

She's had a little trouble.

I won't be long.

Whatever you say, Mr. Licker.

I'm looking for work. Well, the personnel department isn't taking any

applications right now. If you care to leave your name and address.

Yes, Daniel Baxter.

I'm at the downtown Y.

Even if it's unskilled, I'm not fussy.

You drive, Mr. Baxter?

Sure. I may have something for you later on. I'll let you know.

Okay, fine.

I'm George Vicker. I understand my wife is... This way, Mr. Vicker.

She was doing almost 90 when we stopped her.

That's the second time in less than a month.

You gonna file charges?

Well, she's been drinking, too. I'm pretty sure of it.

See what you can do, Sergeant.

It was another long afternoon. You were lonely?

George, I only had two martinis.

Oh, George, you've got to tell me something.

Where am I headed for?

Devil's Island and 30 days on a rock pile?

Now, understand, rock pile... Sherry, what's wrong with you? You could have

killed yourself out there.

Killed? Oh, George, why would I do a thing like that? I mean, haven't I got

everything that any woman would want?

I mean, I have a beautiful house and beautiful clothes and all the beautiful

money that money can buy.

I don't recall having a husband.

That's not fair.

Come on, I've got to get back to the plant. All right, George, you just run

along and stop by anytime. Jerry, be reasonable, will you? I left a top

meeting to come here. I thought you were the top level. That's just the point I

am. I can't walk away from my obligations. I've got hundreds of people

for me, and soon I'll have hundreds more.

One of these days, I'll hand you the world.

I'd settle just for you and me.

All set, Mr. Vicker.

Thank you, Sergeant.

We're very grateful, Moscow.

Your wife, huh?

Your husband has a lot of influence, Mrs. Vicker, but next time it may not

There won't be a next time, Sergeant. My wife won't be doing any driving for a

while. She won't be doing any driving? How do you expect me to get around on a

skateboard? Let me worry about that, huh?

Daniel Baxter, the new chauffeur. I'd like to see Mrs. Victor.

I'll see you.

Come

in.

There's a Mr. Baxter outside who says he's your new chauffeur.

Yes, ma 'am.

My houseboy tells me you're my new chauffeur.

Oh, Mr. Vicar didn't telephone you.

No, he did not.

Well, I'm sure he meant to. He hired me only an hour ago.

Well, there's obviously been some misunderstanding.

Mr. Vicar, please.

You know, this is perfectly ridiculous. I don't need anyone to do my driving.

Harry, this is Mrs. Vickers, my husband there.

Oh, and you expect him?

No, no, that's all right. I'm having lunch with him. I'll see him later.

Thank you.

Will I drive you to the plant?

I am perfectly capable of driving myself, thank you.

Oh, yes, ma 'am, but Mr.

Vickers gave me your keys, and I'm not to give them to you under any

circumstances. Really?

Yes, ma 'am.

Bring the car around to the front. I'll be down shortly. Yes, ma 'am.

You wait here. I'll be a while.

May I look around?

Sure. You've been here before, haven't you? A couple of hours ago for my

interview. Yes, ma 'am.

Do whatever you like, but don't go in the security building. They're sensitive

to strain.

Then call Chicago, Harriet. Tell them not to expect me. The way things are

happening, I'll never get out of here.

Well.

Forgive me, darling. I know you're busy, busy, busy, and I'm early.

Early, early, but there's a little matter I'd like to discuss with you.

The chauffeur?

Now, you must admit, it's just a trifle silly.

I happen to love you very much.

I don't relish the idea of scraping you off the highway.

George.

Or bailing you out of a drunk tank.

That is sheer nonsense.

Yes. Well, tell Mr. Nexus I'll see him in a minute.

One of my new investors.

He's only here for a few days. I'm sorry, honey, but I can't keep him

Why not?

Well, he's very important.

So are you.

Yeah, maybe.

But this time I'm not going to settle for second or third best. I'm going all

the way. These people can make me the biggest, most influential man in the...

the cemetery.

George, I don't understand this. They buzz, you jump.

Now, who are these people? What are they doing to you?

I've told you, they're foreign businessmen. They're here to invest.

I was afraid, Mrs. Baker.

I was afraid that you'd forgotten.

Gentlemen.

What's it all about?

Ask him, sir.

Is this your chauffeur, Mr. Vicar?

That's right, he is.

He entered the plant with Mrs. Vicar at 11 .47.

At 11 .57, he was found in the security section.

What were you doing up there?

I was looking for your officer.

You were here this morning. You know my office is not in a security building.

I'm sorry, sir. I was lost. These buildings are all alike.

I was on my way to tell Mrs. Vicar that I was going to the gas station. The car

is out of gas.

When these stormtroopers jumped me.

Sherry, will you excuse us a minute?

George, if you don't mind, I think I'll cancel lunch.

Dan, would you drive me home?

We won't keep him long. I'd rather not wait. I said we won't keep him long.

I questioned the man thoroughly this morning. He's no professional, I'm sure

it.

If he was from the FBI or Air Force Intelligence, he wouldn't have been

that easily.

If you don't trust my judgment, Mr. Nexus, why don't you check him out

Find out who he is and why he's here.

Whatever you say, Mr. Baker.

There's nothing else up at the car away now.

There is something else.

Would you like a drink?

No, thank you.

You lied about the gasoline, Dan.

I filled that tank myself last night.

The truth.

Why were you in the security building?

A foolish mistake.

I don't believe you.

The lies you told, the way they treated you when you were caught, the way my

husband's been behaving, his phony story about the investors.

I think he's manufacturing something other than industrial machinery at that

plant. And I think you know what it is. That's why you're here.

All right.

Your husband is working for a foreign power. They're planning a form of

invasion.

Invasion?

What foreign power?

I can't tell you that.

What do you mean you can't tell me that? You've just accused my husband of

treason.

Now, Dan, you've got to be specific. I can't accept some meaningless empty

charge. They're alien beings, creatures from another planet, and they're here

right now trying to take over. Your husband is helping them.

Specific enough?

Alien beings from another planet.

You don't really believe that, do you?

I've seen their spaceships.

Who hasn't? I've seen them, too.

Aren't you a privileged minority?

I'm not alone.

Others have seen them.

They're certainly keeping it a secret, aren't they? You've seen them, too.

I've seen them.

At the plant, some of them have mutated hands, a crooked fourth finger.

I don't believe it. Why would George be helping them?

What? This is a stupid joke.

A stupid, tasteless joke.

I don't enjoy your sense of humor, Mr. Baxter. I think you better leave.

You wanted the truth.

What?

Dan. Dan, please.

Tell me what we can do to help him.

This is Edward McKendrick reporting to you from a joint session of the state

legislature. In a moment, Sergeant George Vicar, winner of the Presidential

Medal of Valor, will be coming down the aisle to accept the congratulations of

the 98 representatives gathered here.

On October 23, 1952... Sergeant Vicker led, drove, and

forced his exhausted platoon to glory.

For three months, all attempts to take Hill 317 from the enemy had failed. But

on that bleak October morning, Sergeant Vicker did not fail.

Losing his entire platoon, he fought on alone to the top, personally killing

over 30 of the enemy, and then badly wounded himself.

radioed to battalion headquarters that Hill 317 was ours.

Yes, it is a moment in history that can never be... Wait a minute. There

he is.

Sergeant Vicker has just made his appearance.

Good evening, Mrs. Pickard. Good evening. My husband's working late. I

he might need this. Could you take it to him? Certainly.

Thank you.

Building up a heavy backlog means tubes, Nexus.

I think we'll have enough here to arrival.

Think?

The Vicar thinking isn't good enough.

Without these tubes, my people cannot maintain their human form. We've got to

more than think, Mr. Vicar. We've got to be sure.

Soon there will be thousands of my people here. We must have your absolute

guarantee that you will fill the new production quota.

All right, you've got it.

But you've got to give me more...

Yes?

Yes, what is it, Harriet?

When did it come in?

Yes, I'll be right down.

Teletype just came in.

They've got some information on that chauffeur I hired.

Yes, yes.

Real name David Vincent, architect from Santa Barbara, California.

He's reported alien activities to police, newspapers, and public

Hello, this is Nexus. There's been some trouble.

Officer, stop for a minute.

I need your help.

Do what I think.

Climb it.

Mrs. Vickard.

Dan, where are you? I've been worried sick about you.

Are you alone?

Yes, I am now, but... Listen, they were here a while ago looking for you. I

think we ought to call the police.

Well, not these police.

Some of them are aliens.

I can't hear you.

I said some of the local police are aliens. We have to go to the FBI office

Miami.

Well, I'll call them for you.

Well, first I have to get out of this area.

Will you give me some help? I need your car.

Okay, where are you?

Wilson's, Wilson's, Wilson's.

Oh, yes, I know where that is.

Look, I'll leave right away. I'll be there in a half hour.

Are you all right?

Take this.

Thank you.

Let's go.

I'll drive.

All right, Mr. Vincent.

End of the line.

Vincent?

How did you know where to find me?

She told us.

You bugged my home. The police have no right to... It wasn't the police, ma

The carpet.

All right, Sergeant.

I'll take care of these two.

Sorry, Mr. Vicker. I have to take them. Just a minute.

Mr. Nexus gave me specific orders that I was to... I said I'd take care of this,

Sergeant.

Keep an eye on the back door.

We'll wait, Mr.

This man broke into our plant, Sherry.

Why are you helping him?

George, I know all about your foreign investors.

Why they are here and how you've been helping them.

What kind of poison have you been feeding her?

She knows what's going on at the plant, the regeneration chamber, the tubes

you're manufacturing.

So that's what you told her, huh?

Your source of information is a psycho, Sherry. His real name is David Vincent.

He's a mental case.

He's been treated for delusions and fantasies. Tells wild stories about

that simply don't exist.

Take her to the plant, Vicar.

Third floor security building. Show her how crazy I am.

The man is thick, Sherry. He's thick.

I'd like to go to the plant, George.

Now.

Why, George?

Why are you doing this awful thing?

For you.

I want you to have everything.

I had everything, remember?

Don't you understand, Sherry? They'll be running this planet.

And we'll be right on top with them.

We'll have everything we ever wanted.

Excellent terms.

All you have to do is sell out the human race.

Yeah. Our precious human race.

Liars, phonies, hypocrites.

When I came back from Korea, I was the big war hero.

Medals, interviews, all kinds of fancy promises until I really needed help.

All I asked for was a small loan to start a crummy sheet metal shop in

Georgetown.

That's when I got my lesson in humanity.

They told me a guy with a wooden leg and a plate in his head was a lousy

financial risk.

Sorry, Tom.

Business is business.

The only place you can borrow money on a middle of valor is in a hawk shop.

Their promises are as phony as they are.

So I made a promise of my own.

I swore that someday, somehow, I'd be the man in charge.

I'd be the one to say no.

Well, it's nice to know you'll be the man in charge. You can see your wife has

proper funeral.

If she knows too much about them, they'll kill her.

They wouldn't dare.

They wouldn't touch her.

I'll see to that.

How?

You

wanted

the world. Now you've got it. What are you going to do? Give it to them, or are

you going to destroy them?

No. No, they destroy me first. They're going to do that anyway.

They're going to do that anyway.

After they've finished using you.

Now, you've got every piece of evidence we need to get rid of him.

George, help us. You're the only one who can.

Sherry, I swear to you, I never thought you'd be in danger.

I never realized. Well, then do something about it. We're running out of

All right.

All right, but it might take some doing.

You'll have to trust me.

Let me do it my way.

Make it look good.

Otherwise, they'll kill both of you right now. Just give me enough time to

to the FBI.

Come on, let's go.

Take Mr. Vincent to the plant, Sergeant.

Make sure nothing happens to him.

Sorry.

Mr. Nexus told me... I said take him to the plant. We need him for questioning.

Keep him under guard in my office until you hear from me or Mr. Nexus.

All right, Vincent.

Let's go.

Will he be all right?

I told you to trust me.

Come on, I'll take you home. We'll send for your car later.

George, you are going to go through with it, aren't you?

You think I'd let anything happen to you?

What about David Vincent?

He'll be all right.

Why don't you go upstairs now and get some rest?

I'll call Mr. Nexus and get this settled.

Okay.

Sherry, the things you found out tonight, the things I've

done, I... After

tonight, nothing matters at all.

Nothing.

What are you doing here?

I was just about to call you.

I've got David Vincent under guard at the plant.

And your wife?

She's upstairs. Why?

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Where do you think you're going?

No. No!

I'm not going to let you do it. You've got no right.

You've got Vincent. Now, what do you want with my wife?

Look, she'll give you no more trouble.

George, when are you coming up?

Take your hands off me! Take your hands off me! You

must all make sacrifices.

I delivered Vincent tonight. Isn't that enough?

Now, tell him to leave her alone.

There'll be no pain. It'll be a simple suicide.

An unhappy woman who drank too much and drove too fast and finally turned on the

gas.

Dear God, George, help me.

George, what are you doing?

can't let you do it.

Must I remind you of the rewards that lie ahead?

Wealth and power beyond your wildest dreams.

A slave population of billions, but you won't be a slave. You'll be a master.

You're a very sensible man, Mr. Picker. How can you possibly give up so much for

so little?

Hello Yes, we'll take care of it immediately

Okay Great

come

on sherry

Breathe deeply. Come on. Breathe deeply. Deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

Hello, George.

Yeah, she's all right.

I got her just in time.

It was a good idea giving me that gun.

Right, right. You just let them think that I'm responsible.

The government wants you to remain undercover.

You're the key man, George.

You're the only one who can help destroy them.

George, Sherry sends her best.

I got it just in time.

It was a good idea giving me that gun.

Right, right. You just let them think that I'm responsible.

The government wants you to remain undercover.

You're the key man, George.

You're the only one who can help destroy them.

And George, Sherry fends her best.

No!

He's lying! He's framing me. Can't you understand that?

I didn't betray you.

He's framing me. Can't you see that?

I didn't betray you.

I didn't.

Any luck?

Nothing.

They destroyed every shred of evidence in the security building.

You think they'll keep after us?

No, not anymore.

Now that your husband is... No, the police said he died of a cerebral

hemorrhage. It's not true.

He started dying years ago when he was given these.

Takes a lot of courage to get one of those.

And to do what you did.

Then I have to go.

Where?

Wherever they went.

How long are you going to go on like this?

As long as it takes.

David?

Goodbye.

As the invaders move, so does David Vincent.

For they must be stopped.

They must be exposed.

And if he doesn't do it, who will?
