All language subtitles for The Invaders s01e15 Moonshot

Next, the invaders in color.

The Florida Keys.

Two astronauts on pass.

Marlin fishing.

Eight days before the launching of the
United States' first moonshot.

Nothing? What does it sound like?

Marlin Club, Marlin Club.

It's Major Banks, over.

Marlin Club, come in, Marlin Club.

That's all we need, Fogg.

What about it, Marlin Club?

I'm trying my best to reach a mechanic.

Well, how long?

No one gets stuck out here with this fog
rolling in.

Fogg, sir.

There's been no fog reported on the
Gulf.

Don't give me that Chamber of Commerce
bit. With this fog rolling in, it

looks...

I cannot walk.

Red.

I can't breathe.

Major Banks.

Major Banks. Come in, Major Banks.

Major Banks.

The

invaders.

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring Roy Finnis as architect David
Vinson.

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,
Peter Graves, Joanne Linville,

John Erickson, Kent Smith.

Tonight's episode, Moonshot.

The nation had been stunned.

The first screaming newspaper story
spoke of a fishing accident and a

inexplicable red fog.

Two men slated to walk on the face of
the moon had unaccountably perished.

For David Vincent, there was an answer,
terrifying in its implications.

And so he came to the Florida Keys to
find the radio operator who had heard

vacationing astronaut's final words.

Now, look, what about this backup crew?
Is it still the car of Daniel Smith?

Yes. Now, look, fellas, why don't we...
What about that red fog yesterday? When

can we talk to the radio operator?

Fellas, the press conference is inside,
not here. Oh, come on. Now, if it's like

the one we had last night, it'll be just
more conversation.

Security's been tracking down the story
all day, and they'll give you the dope.

Now, how about it, huh?

Oh, fuck.

You should have a pass.

Well, I'm sorry. I left it at the
studio. They put this press conference

together so fast.

You'll have to show me some
identification, sir.

Well, look, they're getting started in
there.

Sorry, sir.

Orders.

All right.

I'm going to drive his license.

All right.

David Vincent.

Now, come on. What is this? I have to
get in there.

You'll get in, sir.

As soon as I checked your name at the
security office.

Wait here, please.

You told anybody else about this?

Huh? Did you tell anyone else what you
saw?

No. No, sir. I come here right after it
happened.

Nobody believed me then. I guess nobody
believes me now. Mr.

Coogan, please.

Sit down.

Well, I don't see the point if nobody
believes what I'm saying. Sit down.

Look, I saw fog out there.

Red fog.

It's coming down from this helicopter.

And I haven't had a drink in six days.

This helicopter, did it have any
particular markings, color, anything?

It looked like any other helicopter.

Sir?

Send Mr. Vincent in.

Oh, and Corral, you take Mr. Coogan
home. He'll be in your charge. All

Coogan.

Riley.

Just a moment, I'll see.

Commander Smith's wife, sir.

Again? Can't talk to her now.

I think you'd better, sir. She sounds
very upset.

Oh, Angela.

I can't talk now. I'll call you back.

Oh, but, Gavin, I've been trying to
reach you all afternoon.

Yes, I know, but I've been tied up with
this investigation.

I... But, Gavin, you've got to talk to
me.

It's... It's about Hardy.

Angela, let me get back to you.

Look, I'm not in Houston.

When they told Hardy that he was going
up, I knew I had to get to you.

And I came in this morning.

You've got to help me, Gavin.

Look, Angela, I'll see you as soon as I
finish down here, and I'll leave your

number with my office, and I'll call
you.

It's Hardy. He's... Angela, please.

All right.

All right, but I'll wait for your call.

That'll be all. Thanks.

I'm Gavin Lewis, security.

I know who you are.

I should tell you why I'm here.

I wanted to talk to that radio operator.

What do you want with him, Mr. Vincent?

Information.

Complete information as to what he heard
on that ship -to -shore radio.

Well, you can get that out of the
newspapers tonight, can't you?

I said complete information.

I had a check run on you, Mr. Vincent.

I know who you are and what this
obsession of yours is.

Men from another planet?

Aliens?

All right, that happens to be your
particular hang -up. What's it have to

with us?

I know how those astronauts died and
what that red fog is.

I want to know why they died.

Well, they weren't killed by men from
Mars. I can promise you that.

Happens that it was a form of carbon
monoxide.

Oh, yes.

Red carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide you can see.

What is it with people like you?

One weird story and every screwball in
the country thinks he can get in any

Even that old man down the beach says
that he saw a red fog.

Gavin, I can't stall him anymore. They
want your statement.

Now, come on. All right, all right. I'll
be right there.

Where is this old man? I'd like to talk
to him. No, no, no. Until I have a

chance to check on his story, nobody
gets near Mr. Coogan's place.

Nobody talks to him.

Now, you wait here till I'm done.

You're holding me?

Well, you're a smart man, Mr. Vincent.
You know I have no authority to do that.

You're also smart enough to be here when
I get back.

And it's very simple, Mr. Coogan.

If you really didn't see anything,
what's there to tell Gavin Lewis?

Nothing.

I saw nothing.

I made it all up.

That's right, Mr. Coogan.

You made it all up.

Just to get your name in the papers.

You saw nothing.

Mr. Coogan, what are you doing here?

Gavin Lewis gave me permission to talk
to Mr. Coogan.

You have that in writing?

He said it wouldn't be necessary.

Mr. Coogan, I'd like to talk to you
about what you saw yesterday.

Nothing.

I saw nothing.

I made it all up.

Mr. Coogan, look at me.

I made it up.

Mr. Vincent, that's enough.

Maybe Lewis gave you permission, maybe
he didn't.

But that's all, Bunther. You'll have to
go.

Who's been here? Who talked to him?

Nobody was here. Nobody talked.

Do you have my pocket?

Bye.

You all right, son?

Corral, what happened? I'm all right,
I'm all right.

Corral!

Corral, get on the radio. I want him
found.

Yes, sir. All right, what the devil's
going on here? You knew I'd come, didn't

you? You set it up. I asked you a
question, Vincent. I expect an answer.

I.

Was Corral part of the setup?

It was killing me his idea.

Doing what?

He tried to kill me.

He's one of them. He's an alien.

Want proof? Look at him. Just talk to
him.

Correll wiped everything out of his
mind.

Mr. Coogan, tell him what you saw.

You saw the red fog, didn't you?

Nothing.

I made it all up to get my name in the
papers.

Mr. Coogan, you told... Nothing.

I saw nothing.

Mr. Coogan!

I saw nothing.

You'll never find Corral.

He's done his job.

Well, I haven't done mine.

All right, Vincent, we'd better talk.

Come on, let's get back to town.

Sorry, sir. We're closed for the night.

I've got this briefcase from Mr. Lewis.
I'll just put it in the car, okay?

Help yourself.

Well, that's a big help.

Medical reports shows there's nothing
wrong with Charlie Coogan.

You really think it would?

Oh, sure, sure. He was brainwashed, huh?

Lewis, either you believe me or you
don't.

Well, maybe I don't want to believe you.
Maybe, uh... Maybe what?

You know, I think it's about time you
level with me.

You give me just enough information to
keep me curious. You practically sent me

to Charlie Coogan's place.

Why You know what I did before I was a
security officer you were an astronaut

one of the first That's right, I

was training for the moon shot same one
that's going up this week a Couple

of months ago.

I was driving home from the Space Center
top physical shape nothing wrong with

me

I was listening to the car radio.

And all of a sudden, the radio went
dead.

After that, I don't remember anything.

Don't remember getting home, going to
bed.

Nothing until my call service woke me up
in the morning.

I didn't feel well.

And when they checked me out, they found
that my blood pressure had gone crazy.

Consequently, they washed me out of the
space program.

But I knew, I knew that there was
nothing wrong with my blood pressure.

And when I tried to tell them, when I
tried to make them see, they treated me

like I was some Section 8 case.

I lost a night out of my life, David.

I want to find out where that night went
and why.

Maybe you have the answer.

I'm not going to find it here.

Whatever it is, it must be at the launch
site.

That's a long ride. We better get going.

You're lucky. Another five minutes, I
would have taken off for the night.

David, it doesn't make any sense.

If an astronaut is shoved aside like I
was, or if he's killed, the moonshot

still goes up.

They could kill ten men and the program
still goes on.

Maybe they're not trying to stop the
program.

Could be something else.

Like what?

What are you going to look for when we
get to the space center? One of these

aliens? And what's he going to do, come
up and introduce himself?

You told me yourself that they look the
same as we do.

There are ways of recognizing them.

First of all, they have to regenerate
themselves.

And they have an awkwardness about the
hand. There's a mutated fourth finger.

And the fact that they have no
heartbeat.

The fact that...

What

was that?

David, what in the name of heaven?

Better hurry, sir. The Cobb and the
others are leaving for the airport in an

hour. All right.

Vincent's staying in my apartment. Make
sure that he gets his security pass, and

I want him at that airfield by the time
the plane lands. Vincent? Yes, right.

And get a hold of McNally's office. Ask
him to send over any material they have

on the backup crew. Film everything.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

I took the liberty.

It's Commander Smith's wife.

She's waiting in the office.

Oh, thanks.

If anybody asks where Vincent's staying,
don't know.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry I didn't call you last night.
I couldn't.

Oh, that's all right.

Are you all right?

Mm -hmm.

Uh... Gavin... Hardy will be going up,
there's no question?

No.

Well, I don't think he ought to go.

I don't know why, but I...

I think there's something wrong.

With him or with you?

No, now that it's definite that they've
set the day, you're sure it's not just

your nerves?

You know me better than that.

This has been going on for weeks.

For months.

That night, I called him.

Deliberately.

And I told him that we'd be seeing each
other.

That we were going to spend the evening
together.

And he wasn't even jealous.

Well, then maybe we've all grown up,
haven't we?

No.

How can I make you understand?

What does it mean?

That he has complete lapses of memory.

He can't remember the simplest things.

You know, the places that we've gone, or
the friends that we knew, or...

Even how I like my martinis from...
Angela, Hardy went through a great deal

Vietnam. But if there were anything
wrong with him, physically or

the doctors would have found it out
months ago. Now, stop worrying, will

Others are ready to leave to the airport
now, sir.

Right there.

Sorry, Angela, I've got to leave.

It's all right.

I'll leave.

McNally called me this morning anyway.
He wants me to be at the airport when

Hardy lands.

They want photographs, you know, of the
brave astronaut's wife.

Can you come to the house tonight to see
Hardy?

Please, Gavin.

You can have all the pictures you want,
but no interviews.

The boys have just a few hours before
their first briefing. They're not going

want to spend them answering questions.
Do you understand?

Did you have any trouble?

No. Anybody follow you?

Good, honey.

Let's have one with the curse.

Colonel Acaba. Remember, no questions,
just figures. Mr. Smith, would you look

this way, please?

Try that again, Colonel Acaba. All
right, fellas, I think we've got enough

now. Let's give them a chance to get
some rest. I've got a heavy schedule

the medics this afternoon.

Can you give us something?

One question at a time, please. Mrs.
Smith, look this way, please.

Colonel Acaba.

This way. Colonel Acaba.

Hardy.

Hi, Angela.

Well, I don't think I've ever emptied
anybody so much in my life. The way you

pushed for me, the things you taught me,
I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't

for you. I'd like to pick my own
replacement.

Look, you get your rat. I'll try to look
in on you later.

Anytime. Bye, Kevin.

Bye.

No, that's Owens, one of the medics.
Fine.

Check him.

He's been with the program ever since it
started.

Gavin, check him.

No lie down, darling. I'll get it.

I'm the one who's supposed to give the
jitters.

Yeah.

Well, I guess they're here.

Go on, let them in.

I'll be right out.

Artie?

Oh, come on, honey.

It'll all be over in a couple of days.

Oh, come on, let them in.

The shepherd, rounding up its flock. Oh,
hi, Peggy.

Is Hardy ready for his physical?

Oh, he'll be out in a second.

Oh, thanks.

Droop the eyes.

You're beginning to look like a wife.

Don't.

I'll see if he's ready.

I mean it, Angela.

Why don't you and Peggy go to a movie
tonight? Don't just sit around thinking

about it.

Maybe I will.

No maybes.

Do it.

Hardy, Tony's here.

Be out in a minute.

Party? Party?

I'll be right out.

Come on, friend. This is a rush deal.
Remember, those medics won't wait all

night.

That's just what I'm doing. I'm getting
ready for the medics.

Be ready in a minute.

Anything on Owens?

Owens is a medical technician.

He was born in Detroit, and we can
account for almost every day since then.

I checked his file myself.

Well, they could have phonied that.

We've got to find something. We're
running out of time.

Well, then why waste it looking at this
film?

David, if you think that one of the
astronauts is an alien, or all three of

them, forget it.

They've been checked and rechecked. We
know who they are, where they were born,

when, when they blow their noses and
scratch their backs. The aliens want

moonshot to go up.

And they want this special crew to be on
it. Why?

Why would they go through so much
trouble just to stop two men from

the moon?

Shut the blinds, will you?

Now, you're holding back something.

I'm shooting in the dark unless you tell
me the real objective of this moonshot.

You can read it in the newspapers.

They have four columns on it every day.

If this were simply a walk on the moon,
your people would have postponed the

flight and given the backup crew more
time.

Now, why do they have to get off
tomorrow?

David, I've told you everything that's
unclassified. I'm security officer.

Remember that?

Now, do you want to see this film or
not?

Adam, slice off the front part about the
rocket itself and just send me the

material on the men. The moonshot thus
becomes the most significant step

thus far in America's manned space
program.

Three astronauts have undergone
intensive training in preparation for

project, but only two will actually land
on the surface of the moon.

The man chosen to remain in the capsule
is Marine Lieutenant Colonel Martin

Daniels, born in New Haven, Connecticut,
April 16, 1931.

Daniels is the youngest man to have
flown 59 combat missions in the Korean

The second member of the crew,
Lieutenant Colonel Tony LaCava, one of

men who will walk on the face of the
moon.

The only surviving member of the
original moonshot crew, LaCava was born

Sioux Falls, South Dakota, March 27,
1929.

Now captain of the team, he can be
considered the grand old man of the

Grand old man.

The most recent member of the crew, Navy
Commander Hardy Smith, born in New York

City, January 1, 1935.

Commander Smith volunteered for special
duty in Vietnam, where he earned the

Presidential Medal of Valor and the
Purple Heart.

While still in Vietnam, he was selected
for the astronaut program.

Shown here with his wife immediately
after his return to the United States,

Commander Smith underwent medical
treatment before reporting to the space

agency.

Stop the gun. Don't stop it.

What's the matter?

His face.

That first picture we saw wasn't Hardy
Smith.

Oh, relax.

I'm telling you, it wasn't Hardy Smith.

No. The first picture that you saw was
taken of Hardy pre -Vietnam.

Now, he came through that whole bloody
mess without a scratch.

But getting ready to come home, his
hotel in Saigon caught a terrorist bomb.

The way you see him now... Well, the
plastic surgeons did a pretty good job.

Now, do you want to look at the rest of
this?

We've got something.

I'm lost.

There is an alien on the crew.

What? You've got to be kidding.

Artie Smith.

I know Artie Smith. I trained with him.
I'm a close friend of his family.

Oh, no. You've really gone off the deep
end.

All right. Who was the first man
assigned to the boonshot program?

Tony LaCave. He still is.

I'll scratch him. If they wanted to get
rid of him, they would have done it

right away.

Now, who ranked next?

Come on, who came after LaCava?

Well, I came next.

And you had that strange experience you
told me about when you started having

trouble with your blood pressure.

That's right.

And then Banks and Howell, right?

Right. They're both dead.

Now, the crew is LaCava, Daniels, and
Smith. And that can't be Hardy Smith.

They didn't change his face with plastic
surgery. They got rid of him and

substituted a man you call Hardy Smith,
an alien.

No Hardy Smith.

Lord, maybe that's what she meant.

Maybe that's why she thinks he's
changed, why she doesn't understand him.

It's not the same man, is it?

There isn't any purpose. Why send an
alien out?

They're probably afraid of something
that those reconnaissance photos showed

the moon.

Now, if that's security, don't tell me
about it, but go to the man who's in

charge. Have Smith investigate it. Stop
him.

Oh, this is all wild guesswork. We don't
have any evidence.

There's got to be something in his file,
maybe his medical records.

Now, we have 12 hours before liftoff.
You've got to find something.

Gavin, you and I have worked together a
long time. That's the only reason I've

listened to you.

I'm sorry you won't accept the fact the
boat engine wasn't effective and that

deputy was just a poor slob who went
AWOL. Stan, no matter what you think,

investigate. If I'm right, I want you to
find out that I'm right.

I'd rather find out what's driving you.

What made you come up with a story like
this?

Because you're in charge of this phase
and you can stop him. There's still

Now, get his records. Do something.

Before we go any further, I want to ask
you something about you and Angela

Smith. Oh, now, wait a minute.

And I want an answer.

This friendship of yours.

That's all it ever was, friendship.

Artie Smith didn't think so.

It's no secret. It's here in the files.

Before he went to Vietnam, he was
getting pretty touchy about it.

Stan, there was never anything, and you
know it.

Artie Smith didn't.

He's calmed down now, and I thought it
was all over. What is it, Gavin?

Is that why you're coming to me with
this wild story?

While you're even trying to get him
knocked out of the moonshot?

Don't you understand? That is not Hardy
Smith!

Control. Would you send in a medical
technician with Commander Smith's

please? Yes, sir.

Those structures we've seen on the moon.
The ones in the reconnaissance photos.

La Cava and Smith are the only ones who
will be able to say whether they're

natural objects or man -made or alien
-made or whether they represent a threat

to us.

Martin Daniels can't because he'll be in
the capsule.

Now, if anything happens to La Cava,
we'll have to accept Hardy Smith's word,

will we?

No matter what report we get back this
time, we'll be sending other crews up.

But by then, they may have accomplished
their purpose.

You're aliens?

Ah, damn, I know that makes me sound
insane. I know it, but...

Yes. The medical technician's here, sir.

Hold him a minute.

Gavin, you say these aliens aren't like
us.

They're made in some way so they have no
heartbeat.

That's right.

Send him in.

Yes, sir?

Commander Smith had another physical
checkup last night.

Yes, sir. He's had several checks since
he began preparations for the moonshot.

Oh. Problems? No abnormalities?

No, sir.

Respiration? Heart?

He's in perfect physical condition, sir.

He's lying. He's one of them.

He's what? He's an alien. Look at him.
Look at his hand.

That'll be all. Stop it.

That'll be all. Stan, he's an alien. You
can't let him go.

All right, Gavin.

Ever since you raised that commotion
after your illness, I've been debating

whether to take you off the program
entirely.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to call
Washington and drop the problem in their

laps.

I'm sorry, Captain, but I'd be less than
honest if I let you think you'll be

with the program much longer.

Stan.

That's all.

Commander Smith volunteered for special
duty in Vietnam.

earned the Presidential Medal of Valor
and the Purple Heart.

While still in Vietnam, he was elected
for the astronaut program.

Joan here with his wife immediately
after his return to the United States.

Well, look, David.

I did everything I could.

I even saw Owens in there.

He had that kind of hand you told me
about.

And Stan Arthur wouldn't buy any of it.

I'm sorry.

The one hour that crew reports to the
takeoff area and at dawn the shot goes

We still have some time.

Where are you going?

I see the one person who can prove
Smith's an alien.

He's white.

Mrs. Smith.

Yes. I'm David Vincent, a friend of
Gavin Lewis.

Oh.

Well, what do you want?

I want to talk to you about your
husband, may I come in?

No, I'm sorry, but I... Are you going
away?

Yes.

I'm going back to Houston.

What business is it of yours?

On the morning your husband's being shot
to the moon, you're not even going to

watch the lift -off.

No.

I don't want to watch.

You're running away.

Why?

Leave me alone.

You know, don't you?

You know that's not your husband.

It's not Hardy Smith.

Lift off is less than three hours away.
You're the only one who can stop it.

You must help us.

This is what it's all about, isn't it?

Hey, Hardy.

Care to join us?

In a minute. You two go ahead.

Kevin, more than anybody in the world,
you're the one I owe all this to.

I know.

How about riding up with me?

No, thanks. My job is down here.

Listen, old buddy, if something's going
to happen... You take care of that.

I don't know what else to say to you.

We have a two -and -a -half -hour launch
window. I hope there aren't any snags,

any tie -ups. But if there are... There
may be one tie -up, Stan.

I think I'm getting cold feet.

That's why we built in the abort switch.
We thought you would.

Well, my job's finished.

Once you lift off, Houston takes over.

And, like I said, I don't know what else
to say to you.

Come on.

Mark.

Marty.

I don't believe it.

It's because of the shock.

It's because of what happened to him in
Vietnam.

You know I'm not wrong.

Would Hardy Smith do the things you say
he's done?

Behave to you the way you say he has
behaved?

Why didn't you report it?

Report what?

Report what?

That he couldn't remember the people
that we'd met?

Or that he...

He always changed the subject when we
talked about the past.

Was that it?

He changed his taste in a hundred
different ways.

His taste has not changed. He hasn't
changed. He's one of them.

Them?

No.

I won't believe it. Now, go away!

It's not just the mission.

Somebody's going to be killed up there.
Do you understand that? You can stop it.

You're the only one who can stop it. But
what you're asking me to believe...

Gavin Lewis believes it. He knows.

Don't just take my word for it. Prove it
for yourself.

You can still get through to Hardy.

Now, there must be something you can ask
him, some test you can put him through.

Call him.

Please call him.

I hope somebody remembered a pack of
cards. I'm going to run out of

before we get halfway there.

That'll be more of a miracle than the
flight.

Commander Smith?

It's the governor with a reprieve. Ask
him not to forget me.

Commander Smith?

Hardy?

Hi, sweetheart.

I was beginning to think you wouldn't
call.

I was afraid I couldn't get through to
you.

I just called to... I wanted to wish you
luck, Hardy.

We'll need it.

Well, that's the only reason I called. I
just wanted to say good luck, Hardy.

Thanks, honey.

Now I know we'll be all right.

Goodbye.

Rizzo.

I wished him luck.

He's superstitious. He always has been.

He's like a child about that one thing.

Nobody.

But nobody wishes him luck.

It's not hardy.

Operator of the blockhouse, please.
Flight administrator.

Yes, Stan Arthur.

I don't know whether I want that clock
to slow down or speed up.

Control. Who is this?

Roberts, may I help you?

Oh, but I asked to speak to Mr. Arthur.
Please put him on.

Well, I'm sorry. That's impossible if
you could call back after liftoff.

No, this is Mrs. Hardy -Smith.

Do you understand, Mrs. Hardy -Smith?
Now, this is an emergency.

I don't know, Mrs. Smith. Oh, please,
for the love of God, put him on.

Angela?

Gavin.

Gavin, you've got to stop him. I have
proof it's not Hardy.

Sam, come here. Take this. Hardy's wife.

Yes, Mrs. Smith. What is it?

I haven't time to explain, but that man
that you're sending up, he is not my

husband. What?

He's an imposter, a phony, a part of
some terrible plot.

Please, Mr. Arthur, before anyone else
is murdered, stop him.

That man is not Hardy Smith.

I'm his wife. I know.

the technicians.

Tell them to hold it.

Commander Smith, report to control
immediately.

I'm sorry, Commander. We're going to
have to...

The countdown has been stopped. There
has been an emergency.

All technicians are ordered to leave the
service tower immediately.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are trying to
get word from Mission Control. As you

heard, the countdown was stopped, and as
far as we can ascertain, it never was

restarted. But the space vehicle has
lifted off. As you can see, the moonshot

has actually blasted off. The space
vehicle is now about three miles over

ocean, and we are still awaiting word
from Control as to what happened. It

like the vehicle is in trouble.

The vehicle has exploded.

We have no word from mission control.

As far as we know, the astronauts were
not aboard.

And as soon as we can get a word as to
what caused the liftoff and the

explosion, we will relay the information
to you. I would like to repeat,

however, as far as we know, no
astronauts were aboard the space

This morning, a craft out there powerful
enough to reach the moon.

Now, nothing.

Well, as Tony LaCava says, you can't win
them all.

Who said we lost?

We don't have any proof.

And what we saw in those reconnaissance
photos, the structures, they're still up

there.

Well, my guess is they'll be gone by the
time the next moonshot goes up.

It's taken the aliens a year to get
Amanda to the program.

They can't do it again.

Now they'll probably have to destroy
that installation, whatever it is.

If they do, we've won.

For now.

Excuse me, sir.

Mrs. Smith's waiting downstairs.

Oh, fine. Tell her I'll be right down.

Anything on Owens?

No, sir. He's disappeared.

Well, this is the statement McNally is
going to give to the press conference.

The official version.

The official version, thanks, Riley.

Hardy, Smith, Hero's death.

They still don't buy your invaders.

Privately, they feel that Hardy went for
Cirque. Pressure and so forth.

There will be a major investigation.

That could take months, maybe even
years.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Well, we did all we could.

And I'll keep trying.

I promise you that.

Well, can't keep a press conference
waiting.

And what about you?

What happens after the press conference?

Oh, I'll be here.

They know there was a conspiracy, no
matter who they blame it on. At least

they know I haven't flipped.

I'll be here.

In the far reaches of outer space, The
invader reorganizes his plan for the

conquest of the Earth.

He's been delayed, but he hasn't been
beaten.
