Next, the invaders in color.

Tired, sir?

Yeah, I'm tired.

It should be after 24 hours of no sleep.

Sir, if I just knew what you were
looking for.

It's a sighting I investigated before
you got here, similar to the Vincent

report.

Perkins or Prescott, something that
started with a P. I'll know it when I

it. P section right here, sir.

Yeah.

What's not here?

Sergeant, I don't understand this. Last
month, the Ambrose report was missing,

and now this.

Now, these files are your
responsibility.

I don't understand it either, sir.

You forgot to unpack it. Look, go
upstairs and see if you can find it.

to have it for the committee meeting
tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Captain Ross?

Yeah, what are you doing here?

Captain Gardner would like to see you,
sir.

Now? Because it's urgent, sir.

Twelve midnight.

Look, you just tell Captain Gardner I'll
see him as soon as I can.

He'll come now.

Sir?

What is this?

Don't argue, Captain. Just come now.

Can I, uh...

Get my briefcase?

Get your briefcase.

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.

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

form. Somehow, he must convince a
disbelieving world that the nightmare

already begun.

The guest stars in tonight's story,
William Smithers, Patricia Smith,

Catherine Justice, and the special guest
star, Michael Rennie.

Tonight's episode...

The innocent.

In a decaying lobster port in Maine,
David Vincent searches for a man who has

seen the invaders, a fisherman named Nat
Greeley, who has taken one of their

weapons, a strange metallic disc.

For a day and a half, Vincent has combed
the tiny waterfront town, but Nat

Greeley has disappeared.

Looking for someone?

They've been.

Yeah, that's right.

Pretty rough time finding you, Mr.
Vinson.

You're wanted in Washington.

Who wants me?

Captain Ross, Project Harmony.

Well, look... Mr. Vinson, we know what
you're looking for.

We also know who you're looking for.

And, uh... That's a subpoena.

Supposing I want to stay here and
finish. We have a plane waiting for you

airport.

Follow me in that car, Will.

Oh, yeah, when they die, they vanish.
They burn, just like that. How many

are you going to ask me that?

And why the third degree?

What's your reason?

It's happened to somebody else, hasn't
it? Somebody else has seen it. What

you think that? It's the one thing you
keep coming back to, how they die.

You've seen it All right, I've seen it
so

what Have you heard of the Peterson
committee

No Peterson the Office of Defense
they've asked him to form a

committee to look into my findings Now
the hearings start Monday. I'll have to

be there. Of course with the project
talk reports.

I want you there to to testify You want
me to testify?

You know, I've given up my life to fight
them.

My girl, my business, my plans.

There's a valley in California I once
dreamt of developing.

I've been down this road before.

I've written, I've talked, I've phoned,
I've seen senators, congressmen.

I'll testify.

But if I do get up there and tell
everything I know under oath, what makes

think they'll believe me?

Don't you understand? There are two of
us this time. Two of us who have

seen him.

That's a lot of words, a lot of talk.

What we need is proof.

Now, the man I'm looking for is in
Maine. He can give us that proof.

Nat Greeley is the town drunk, the town
bum. His testimony wouldn't be worth two

cents. That's why we dropped the whole
thing with him.

We need you here to testify.

Now, if you think he's that important,
I'll send a couple of men up there to

find him.

Do that and he'll never come out of
hiding. I know how frightened a man like

this can get.

Now, let me do it my way.

Please.

Hi, son.

Hey, you putting out the sea in that
whaler?

Whaler's got a square hull.

This here's a Kettenberg.

Looked good to nobody.

Passed over then when he was drunk.

Ma!

Ma!

Miss Greeley?

Hi.

Mr. Greeley on board?

Oh, I should introduce myself.

My name is Calvin Adams, my partner at
Poole. We practice law in Augusta.

My husband isn't here. What do you want,
mister?

Miss Greeley, if what we found in the
county records is right, your husband's

the last living descendant of the
Burkitts.

Here you go.

And if your husband can prove it, he'll
be $83 ,000 richer.

$83 ,000?

That's right.

Now, you just wait a minute. The only
thing Nat's mother's family had to pass

to their kids was a lichen for liquor.

Maybe so, but your husband's great
-uncle ran up a small fortune fishing

in Oregon.

He never had but one great -uncle, Sam
Burkett.

That's the man.

Sam Burkett?

Uh -huh.

Mrs. Greeley, it's taken so long tracing
down these records that we've no time

to wait.

Now, if we can't find your husband, all
that money stands to go to the sailors'

fund.

Now, Mrs. Greeley, now, where can we
find your husband?

When he comes back, I'll tell him about
it. Now I got work to do.

Down from there, Natty. But, Mrs.

Greeley... Goodbye, mister.

He said we'd be rich. We'll be rich when
it rains $10 gold pieces.

What's wrong, Ma?

Nothing.

Those two, they must have been some of
your father's worthless friends playing

joke. Great -uncle Sam died when he was
14.

Record's right here in the family Bible.

Only thing he got out in Oregon was the
people that killed him.

I gotta get ashore.

And you don't say nothing here.

Mrs. Greeley, I'm David Vincent.

I was here yesterday.

I don't care who you say you are,
mister.

I've got somewhere to go and I'm late.

See your husband?

Where is he, Mrs. Greeley?

He's in danger. I can help him.

All right, you don't have to tell me
where he is.

If you want to save your husband, you
better persuade him to see me.

Call this man.

I'll tell you who I am.

The airport?

Yes.

Please, call him.

All right, Major.

Vincent, I'll call him, but I don't
promise nothing.

You wait in there, Natty.

Go on.

Operator, I want to put in a long
distance call.

Who are you?

David Vincent.

How do I know that?

Your wife called. She told you who I am.

She only told me your name. You checked
out with the Air Force.

How are you going to save my life?

Look, I know what you've been going
through.

And I know why.

That disc you found is one of their
weapons.

That's what they're after. That's why
they tried to kill you.

Who do you mean, they?

You saw them get off a spaceship.

What do you think?

A man like me.

They look like men.

Now, Nat, where's the disc?

I haven't got it.

You what?

They tried to kill me. I hid it.

Well, where?

Show me.

I ain't leaving here until nobody's
looking for me no more.

Until they're gone.

Nat, we need that disc to convince the
government that they're here, now,

If these invaders aren't stopped, not
only your life is in danger, but

everybody's. Now, please, where's the
disc?

I guess I can't be worse off than I am
now.

I just want to be quit of this old
business.

There's a wharf at the foot of Grover
Street.

You meet me there at six o 'clock after
it's dark.

Now, get out of here.

Mrs. Greeley, I'm sorry to intrude
again, but there are a few things we are

going to have to settle.

This concerns you too, young fella.

What are you doing here? Hurry up.

Are you sure you want to follow us?

You're not going to leave that Mr.
Vincent until you hear

me out.

Why? What happened? You're the one who
said it.

I don't understand it.

If I give Mr. Vincent that metal disc,
we're quit of this once and for all. You

can't. You can't do that.

They come.

Two of them.

Two of them.

They're coming.

What?

What? Oh, Nat, all I ever needed was a
little piece.

I just wanted a little money.

Maybe I pushed you some, and I yelled at
you.

What did they do? What did they want?

That disc.

They said, you've got to give them that
disc.

And they said, they want Mr.

Vincent, too.

You've got to do it, Nat. You've just
got to.

I don't care about anybody. I only care
about us.

You and me and Natty.

And if you don't give them Mr. Vincent,
they're going to kill us.

This is a great pleasure, Mr. Vincent.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thank you, Mr. Greeley. You did
splendidly.

So you wanted them.

No, no, no, Mr. Vincent. He's been
useful, though, in returning our

delivering you.

The most appreciative.

Will you wait inside, Mr. Greeley?

We'll make you comfortable.

Mr. Vincent, I'd like you to come with
me. I want to show you something.

You care to inspect our spaceship, Mr.
Vincent?

What do you want?

Why don't you take off your overcoat?
You won't be needing it.

Sit down. I'll explain to you.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

I know how you feel about us, Mr.
Vincent.

I don't blame you.

We've committed blunders, too, many of
them.

We've used terror, violence, we've even
killed.

But the history of your people is full
of those same blunders.

And what happens when one civilization
finds another less advanced?

We learned, Mr. Vincent.

A great cost to you and us.

Now we have our orders.

It's got to stop.

We want to take the first step, Mr.
Vincent. We want to show you, nothing to

fear anymore, that we're here to help,
to contribute our knowledge to your

lives.

But it's useless just to say that.

We want you to come with us and see for
yourself how we can help one another.

Where?

It's a short trip.

It'll only take a few minutes.

That is for your safety, Mr. Vincent.

This mode of travel is suited to us, our
makeup.

Protective padding is for your
protection against the force of our

and speed of our flight.

And when we take off, there may be some
discomfort.

It's only fair to warn you, you may even
lose consciousness.

However, if you do, it will only be
momentary.

Unpleasant, but quite harmless.

You all right, Mr. Vincent?

Yes.

You did lose consciousness.

How long?

Not long. It was a short flight.

Can you stand?

I think so.

You'd better rest a while.

We have a surprise for you, Mr. Vincent.

What is the place you've always missed?

The place you've always wanted to see?
The place you hoped would hold the key

your future happiness?

The place that was a valley until the
drought came and left it a desert?

I hope we've chosen properly, Mr.
Vincent.

Santa Margareta Valley?

Shall we go, Mr. Vincent?

It is Santa Margarita.

That's what we've done to it, Mr.
Vincent.

But it was dying. How did you do that?

It was a problem, but we conquered it.

There's much more to see, Mr. Vincent.
The car waiting is for us.

Our architect's building.

Do you like the changes, Mr. Vincent?

It's beautiful.

We've measured up to the ambitions you
once had for the Santa Margarita Valley,

Mr. Vincent.

Yes, you have.

You certainly have.

Wait a minute.

How did you do this without water?

That's not your problem.

We often talked about building a dam up
in the canyon.

We were told that was impossible.

Nothing's impossible, Mr. Vincent.

Not with our knowledge.

We've already built a smaller dam.

The larger one is under construction.

But every engineer I've ever talked to
said it was impossible.

Everyone.

All but Billy Stearns, but his ideas
were so far out.

Couldn't get financial backing.

Well, interest you, Mr. Vincent.

Bill. David. Billy.

Billy Stern.

They told me you were coming, but I
didn't believe them.

You mean you knew I was coming?

Well, what are you doing here anyway?

I'm working for them.

You think I sold out.

You know me better than that.

Then why?

I fought him, too, at first.

Until he made me understand.

David, the knowledge.

Now look at that building.

Now, the material in that building is
what we've been looking for since

I would stand the stress a dam a mile
high would create.

I understand you're building it right
now. Can I see it?

Do you have time?

That's what you want. I've got to see
it.

Now, let me make a call, and then you
meet me on the other side of the

okay? Good.

His leg is not limping.

Injury, disability, those are human
concepts, Mr. Vincent.

You mean you can work miracles like
that?

We can do whatever you want.

Thank you, Santa Margareta. It's an
experiment, Mr. Vincent.

Putting ourselves in your place.

finding out what your needs are.

David?

David?

Helen?

Hello,

Helen.

I didn't think you'd remember.

How could I forget?

It was such a long time ago.

I haven't forgotten.

I'll leave you two alone.

I'll find you later.

Come on, Dave. I'll drive.

I have to tell you, I don't understand
any of this.

Well, how can I help you?

I don't know.

This town, what they've done to it.

And Billy working here. Now, you... It's
a different world, isn't it, David?

It's unbelievable.

Oh, no, very believable.

A world where what we want most can be
accomplished.

David, they can teach us how to... how
to get what we want.

They can teach us how to not let human
emotions get in the way of what we want.

That's what happened to us, isn't it?

We didn't think clearly.

We were so in love, everything was an
emotional crisis.

David, stay with me.

I have a house at the lake.

We can spend the morning swimming and
I'll mix some drinks.

David?

David, what's the matter?

Sorry, something's wrong.

What is it? I can help you.

The town. This whole valley.

What's the matter?

The dam. Why wasn't the dam in the
newspaper?

Thoughts are new. There hasn't been
time.

You're lying to me. Why?

David, I'm not lying to you.

I want an answer. Why?

David, it's just you and I. That's all
there is now.

You're married. You're in England.

David, forget all that. It's all in the
past.

I was here only a month ago. There was
nothing. No building, no dam.

David, you're ill.

The flight was too much for you.

No.

There's something wrong.

David, listen to me.

It's wrong.

David, it's just us.

We're real. We're now. That's all that
matters, David. All that matters.

It's wrong.

David, listen to me. Look at me, David.

David?

It's wrong.

David. It's all wrong. Stay with me,
David.

They were not.

They were not.

It was all in my mind.

It would all have been so easy if only
you'd cooperated.

But we will still do what has to be
done.

However, this time it will be done a
little differently.

There was a plane waiting for you at the
Augusta Airport.

By now, Captain Ross has the report that
neither you nor Mr. Greeley showed up.

What if he has men looking for me?

He doesn't, not yet.

How do you know?

I want you to call Captain Ross.

I want you to tell him what you would
have told him voluntarily if we'd

convinced you.

What would I have said?

That you know nothing about us or our
activities?

But we exist only in your imagination.

So you tried to brainwash me.

So I believe that you were here for the
benefit of mankind.

Call him.

You're afraid of the Peterson Committee
and what they'll find out if they begin

to investigate.

I'll ask you once more to call him.

You're afraid of my testimony. You're in
danger.

Do you really think I'll make that phone
call?

Yes, Mr. Dean.

Mr. Greeley, you tell Mr. Vincent what
you just found out.

They're going to kill my wife and boy.

Unless we do something that they want.

They said that you would tell me what.

You do understand.

Now, will you make the call?

What call?

They're trading your family for a phone
call.

Well, you're just sitting there. Make
the call.

If I do, the investigation goes to
pieces.

They continue safely with their plan.

They're talking about my wife and my
boy.

You're going to make that call.

Will you?

Please.

You may get Captain Ross.

Captain Ross, please.

Captain Ross, this is David Finch.

Where are you?

You'd never believe it.

Well, what happened? Didn't you find
Greeley?

I found him.

Well, stop playing games. Tell me what
happened.

We didn't find out anything.

Scratch us off your list.

You'll have to appear before the
committee without our testimony.

What?

I said Greeley and I know nothing.

There are no aliens. There never have
been.

It was all for publicity.

What are you trying to pull? You know
I've seen one of them myself.

Vincent, are you in some kind of
trouble?

The only one in trouble is you.

Vincent, I want you here in my office. I
need you when I go up before that

committee, whether we have Greeley or
not.

I'm sorry.

Vincent. Goodbye.

Vincent!

Thank you, Mr. Vincent.

Shall we get on with it?

You really must be very anxious to die,
Mr. Vincent. You're always pushing so

hard.

Mr. Magnus, you said if we did what you

asked, I could... You're free, Mr.
Greeley.

Mr. Vincent, I wouldn't have done this
except to save my wife and kid.

I've never done much for them.

I couldn't let them be killed.

They won't hurt you. They promised me.

Have a drink, Mr. Vincent.

I think that I can find the way to the
highway myself.

That won't be necessary, Mr. Greeley. We
provided a car for you.

Goodbye, Mr. Vincent.

Thank you.

What do you expect me to believe? First
you call and tell me it's all a fairy

tale, then you come in here with a song
and dance about brainwashing and a

flight and a flying saucer. Just let me
talk to the Peterson Commission.

You go ahead and talk to them.

After you called, I told them that our
star witness had just discredited

himself, that we had no proof.

Go ahead and give them a few laughs.
Tell them about your trip to Venus or

wherever it was.

Then send some men up to that mansion.

You'll find proof.

I've got news for you, Vincent.

After you call from the hospital, I sent
some men up to the mansion.

They found nothing.

So why don't you and your drinking buddy
go find yourself another bar?

Come in.

If you don't need me, Captain, I'll go
down and clean up the Project Hog files.

Yeah, go ahead.

The sooner the better.

Well, I guess that about does it,
Vincent, unless you'd like to favor me

few more of your stories.

Sergeant Roudel.

Roudel was there. He was on that ship.

Sergeant Roudel, huh?

He was there.

Get out of here.

Let me have security.

This is Captain Roth.

I want you to make a check for me.

Rudel. Sergeant Rudel.

Yeah, I know you've already run one. I
want you to run another one.

I want to know everything about him.

I mean everything from the day he was
born.

A trip to a nightmare world.

A committee disbanded.

Another defeat.

Another hope lost for David Vincent.

Maybe. Or maybe it's a hope begun.
