Next, the invaders in color.

You're okay.

My leg.

I think it's broken.

Wait, don't move.

Don't move. I'll get around the other
side and help you.

Bill.

Bill, did you see him? I guess so. But
he just burned up.

Get going. There's gas there. Back down
the roadway.

No, I don't want to leave you here.

Look, I'll be all right.

Get going.

Please.

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,
Lyndon Childs, Julie Summers,

Edward Asner, and special guest star,
Burgess Meredith.

Tonight's episode, Wall of Crystal.

An accident on a deserted highway.

A honeymoon couple that dies by
suffocation in the open air.

A chemical truck traced to a company
that doesn't exist.

Strange circumstances for which David
Vincent can find one answer.

Somehow, someway, alien beings from
another world must be involved.

Hi. Having any trouble?

No. Thanks anyway.

It is a tragic fact that hatred and war
have become influential factors in our

national economy.

And if the present trend continues, we
may soon discover that our enemies are

more valuable than our friends.

And so, until tomorrow, this is Theodore
Booth saying good night.

Nice show, Mr. B. Thank you, Ann. Will
you tell Phil... Never mind. Phil, thank

you one and all. And never mind playing
back the tape.

I'll catch it on the air tonight, maybe.

Will you call the press club and confirm
that luncheon tomorrow with the

undersecretary? Yes, sir. Hello, boss.
Great material, Taylor. Hope you write a

column on it.

You're a little late. I've already
written it. Don't you read your own

newspapers? Just the circulation
reports. And frankly, they're rather

depressing.

I don't know. He's trying to tell me
something. I got a call from David

this morning.

Remember him?

Yes, Chicken Little.

Running around claiming the sky was
falling in. Don't underestimate him,

few months ago, he almost had you
convinced.

That man is a psycho. I warned him about
bothering us. Until he could prove his

story. Well, he claims he has proof.

You believe him?

It's worth investigating. A story of
that magnitude.

Well, send one of your staff men.

I seem to recall a quotation from one of
your columns, one of your early

columns. When a newsman stops chasing
women, he's old.

When he stops chasing headlines, he's
dead.

Unquote.

Wait a minute. I won't be long.

All right. Thank you for coming.

Well, I haven't got much time.

All right.

Do you remember reading this?

Moon Knight, yeah. What about it?

Well, their car hit a truck carrying
chemical supplies.

Yeah. The truck driver disappeared.

The couple suffocated in open air.

And you claim that your invaders are
responsible for this?

I have proof of it inside.

Safety positive.

Have you told the police?

I tried them and the FBI, even the CIA.

The earliest I can get to any one of the
authorities is tomorrow, or then my

proof may have disappeared.

Disappeared? What kind of proof is that?

That's what they've been asking.

Let's take a look at it.

Thank you.

Well, do you want to explain to me what
that is?

Whatever it is, it does something to the
air. The foliage around the accident

site where I found it was withered and
dead, and it seems to shrink when it's

exposed to the air.

It looks like a piece of costume.

Do it.

Do it.

Are you asthmatic? Do you always have
trouble breathing?

Wait a minute.

Have you had that... Not yet.

All right.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Now, I...

It's all right to touch it?

Well, I have. Nothing's happened to me.

As long as you keep it airtight.

All right, now, I'm on my way to the
press club, and I'll take it to a lab

have it analyzed.

I have to warn you.

Carrying this thing could put your life
in danger.

Don't worry. I don't intend to aggravate
my asthma, and I will warn the lab

technicians to use oxygen masks.

What if it checks out?

If it checks out?

I would use my columns, I'd use my TV
programs as a soapbox, if it checks

out.

There's one question I'd like to ask
you. How do I recognize these creatures

yours?

They look just like us. Some of them
have an awkwardness about their hand, a

mutated fourth finger.

I have to warn you again, they may know
we have this crystal. If they know

you're carrying it, there's no telling
what they'll do.

Your paranoia is showing again, son.

Hold me tonight about seven. I should
have a lab report about this.

Listen, I admit what I said.

We've got to be careful.

All right.

Mr. Booth.

Now, who only got 20 minutes before my
appointment? That cab driver. The same

one who brought you?

Why, of course.

I'm not so sure.

Listen, boy, you relax, will you?

You better relax.

It was an alien weapon he had.

Now, look, you've got to call McMullen
right away. Tell him you're going to

start a series of articles exposing the
existence of alien beings here on Earth.

Well, don't push me. How do I know this
isn't some sort of a setup, some gimmick

to convince me? Once you announce your
plan, they won't touch you.

They'll draw too much attention to the
story.

All right, I'll call McMullen.

Mr. Vincent, I hope you'll change your
mind about this project.

My regards to your brother, Mr. Vincent,
to his charming wife.

Hey. How's your son?

Oh, boy, is he asserting himself.

Another month on the long -handled
brushes.

Mm -hmm.

Aren't you home early?

Mm -hmm. Hard day at the office. One
ingrown toenail and one sore throat.

I'm probably the only doctor in town
that's read all of the magazines in his

waiting room.

Probably David.

David? Oh, that's... He called this
morning. He said he was driving out to

us. Well, what do you suppose he wants?
Bob.

No.

Oh, David.

Bob? Come in, David. You must be fine.

Fine, Grace.

I look well?

What are you drinking?

Nothing, thanks.

I don't have much time.

I want to talk to you. Do you mind if I
make myself one?

Well, you're in a hurry. What's on your
mind?

Nothing's changed.

Same hostility, disbelief. Well, here we
go again.

I'll bet it's all about those bogeymen
from outer space, isn't it?

Bob, you're in trouble.

You and Grace.

Now, you're going to listen to me
whether you like it or not.

I know what you think of me. You think
I'm a crackpot, a sensationalist who got

out of...

architecture to make a quick buck. I
understand that, but it doesn't change

fact that a couple of hours ago, you
became a target for them. Oh, my heaven,

thank you. Really, well, get off of it,
will you? Now, what do you want from me,

David? I've already blown a hole in my
life because of you. Bob, will you

to me, please? When you first started
screaming about flying saucers, I backed

you up all the way to the wall. Now, not
because I believed it, but because

you're my brother. Bob. And I stood
behind you, and you know what I got out

it? Absolutely nothing. Now, when are
you going to quit? When you start

listening to me.

Understand, I'm only trying to save you.
Save? Save what?

Save my practice? That's gone.

I don't think I have to explain it to
you, do I?

Bob, will you do one thing?

Call Theodore Booth at the San Francisco
Courier.

This Theodore Booth, he believes you?

That's right.

Now call him.

After you've called him, arrange for
police protection, but don't wait.

Bob, if you believe that I've ever in my
life cared for you, please don't wait.

He's ill, Bob.

He needs help.

Yeah, I wish I could help him. I really
do.

Hello?

Yes, this is Dr.

Vincent.

Who is this, please?

Mrs. Endicott. What seems to be the
trouble?

Yes. Well, now look, just calm down.
I'll be there in a couple of minutes.

What's your address?

212 Frontier Avenue.

Yes, I'm leaving right now.

Emergency? No, no.

It's like a heart attack.

Mrs. Hennigan? Yes.

Well, I'm Dr. Vincent. I didn't know if
I had the right address. Come in,

doctor. He's real sick. I'm glad you're
here.

Mr. Vincent, your brother is alive and
well.

He won't be harmed if you do as you're
told.

What have you done to him? Where is he?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

He'll be returned as soon as you meet
our demands.

First, Theodore Booth is not to publish
or broadcast any information concerning

our presence here.

Secondly...

Mr. Booth is to publish a column
completely discrediting you. It will

your confession that you have lied about
your experiences with us.

On the day that column first appears in
print, your brother will be returned to

you. If he's still alive.

Now, Mr. Vincent, I'm sure you'll agree
that it would serve no purpose for us to

kill him.

Unless I see that he's all right.

Unless I talk to him.

No deal.

expected you to ask that.

He'll call tomorrow.

About this time.

I'll be waiting at his place.

Oh, and one more thing.

Please.

You value your brother's life.

Don't call the police.

I don't believe it.

I'm sorry, Grace. It's true. But why
would anyone kidnap Bob? We've no money.

can't pay rent. Grace, didn't you
understand anything I said earlier

He's my brother. As long as they have
him, they can keep me from talking to

Booth. Now, honey, I didn't imagine
this. They came to my hotel room and

they had taken Bob.

Dear God.

Grace.

Why haven't you called the police? Why?
We can't, not yet.

Honey, you don't know who you're dealing
with. I don't care who I'm dealing

with. Look, you're only going to make it
worse for Bob.

They won't kill him as long as we don't
panic.

Don't you see he's their bargaining
power?

Without Bob, they have nothing to hold
over my head.

Now let me do it my way.

You've got to trust me.

I do? Why?

Because you're his brother? Because you
say so?

How can I trust someone who...

Who might be psycho.

Do you really believe I am?

Honey, they're going to let Bob call
tomorrow at dinner time.

Now, at least let me talk to Booth
before you ruin our one chance of

out alive.

Please, Grace.

Please.

I don't know.

I don't know anything anymore. Who I am?

What's happening?

All right, David.

Your way.

Do whatever you want.

But God help you if your way turns out
to be wrong.

um

There it is. Ted Bulls.

Police, there's been a bad accident at
Laboratory Analyst Incorporated.

That's right.

775 Academy Boulevard.

Never mind who this is.

Let's get somebody up here.

Goodbye.

May I advise you to save your breath,
doctor?

Who are you?

I think you know Dr. Vincent.

Your brother must have mentioned me
often.

I've just met with him, and I've agreed
to let you place a telephone call to

assure him of your good health.

I'm not going to make that phone call.

They'll subject your wife and brother to
needless anxiety.

They'll think I'm dead, won't they?

I'm not going to make that phone call.

My brother David's found out a way to
destroy you, and there's nothing you can

do about it.

You'll make the call, Doctor.

Don't bet on it.

Yes, I... I know it's the third time
I've tried.

You've got to get my message through to
Mr. Booth.

Does he belong to a club of any kind, or
does he have a lady friend?

Any place that you haven't thought of.

All right, fine.

Please keep trying.

Okay, fine, thanks. I'll check again in
about a half hour.

Goodbye.

As a man of science, you may find this
interesting, Doctor.

Those crystal clusters you see in there
are produced by combining the substance

known as mica.

that a catalytic agent found only on our
planet. What does this have to do with

me? When exposed to the Earth's
atmosphere, those crystals simply

oxygen in the air.

Grace!

Grace!

Get her out of there or she'll
suffocate!

Most forms of life on this planet,
including the human, suffocate within

minutes.

It's difficult with my people. Oxygen
makes living here difficult for us. It

forces us to keep regenerating
ourselves.

Oh, please! She's never done anything to
hurt you!

We hope to change the Earth's atmosphere
into something nearer the atmosphere on

our own planet.

She's dying in there! She's dying! Get
her out of there!

The phone call, Doctor?

Yes. Anything. Just get her out of
there, please. Please, stop it!

She'll be all right, Doctor.

Now, you just relax for a few hours.

We have a phone call to make this
evening.

Grace?

Grace, it's David.

What's wrong?

Grace, are you all right? Oh, David.

Come on, let's get inside.

I think I saw him, David.

Bob? Where?

Some woman came by and she... She said
she'd take me to my husband. They...

Two men were with her. They... They

blindfolded me and they drove me to a
factory of

some kind.

Where was it? Try to remember.

They... They took the blindfold off.

And they... They pushed me into a room.

And I couldn't breathe.

It was like I was drowning.

Honey, did you see Bob? I think I did.

Before I blacked out, I don't remember.

Just calm down a minute. I want you to
pack your bags and get out of town

tonight. I can't leave. Let's not argue.
I want you out of town where they can't

pick you up again.

Pack your bags.

It should be Bob.

Hello?

David, it's Bob.

Bob, are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine. How's Grace? I'm worried
about her. They told me they took her

home.

She's all right. She's right here with
me.

Oh, thank God.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm in deep water again, David, but I
survived before, remember?

So just don't worry about me.

Mr. Vincent, have you made the proper
arrangements with the booth?

Look, I've tried everything. I've left
messages with a service. The television

station he works for, there's
newspapers. Try harder.

You've got till noon tomorrow.

What happened?

Still in deep water.

What?

Come on, you pack your things.

I'll call the airport.

David?

Doesn't Booth know about Bob?

No, not yet.

Suppose he prints something before you
reach him. The wrong thing.

What then?

We can't print it, Joe, and we can't put
it on the air. Here, read these

messages.

Doesn't make sense.

When you need him most, he runs off at
Santa Carla.

Well, if he went, it must be important.

More important than this?

The biggest story of our time. And you
want to sit on it.

That is only one column. There's more.
There's a lot more. But how can I get it

without David Vincent? All right.
Thanks.

All right.

Go to Santa Carla. Find him.

I'll get this ready for tomorrow's
edition.

Joe. Joe.

Did you read those messages carefully?
It says we cannot release that stuff

until we've had a talk.

Maybe the man's in trouble. Maybe
they're pressuring him.

I don't know. Whatever's holding him
back, we just can't disregard it. I have

seen these creatures at work with that
lab technician.

They're not going to stop there.

You really believe they're here, Ted?
Yeah.

You just make sure that your life
insurance is paid up.

There's somewhere in the area. If I can
only figure out where.

I wired your folks. They'll meet the
plane in San Diego.

You'll need the key to the house. They
may try to reach you there.

In deep water.

Deep water. Deep water.

I'm in deep water again.

Archer Creek.

That's where we used to go when we were
kids.

Bob almost drowned there when he was
eight.

I'm in deep water again. That's what he
was trying to tell me on the telephone.

But that creek's dried up. There's
nothing there now, but... But the old

it's been deserted for years.

David, call the police.

Call them. No, I can't. I have to get in
touch with Booth before I do anything.

And then what?

Your plane leaves in five minutes. I'll
call you in San Diego.

Go person to person to Mr. Theodore
Booth. He's staying at the... Uh, never

mind, operator. I'll try later.

Who is it?

Ted Booth.

What are you doing here? Well, I'm
looking for you.

I've got a private plane that I can use
on occasions like this.

I must say, I'm not crazy about flying
around... I'm just calling you. Well,

just calling you. Now, what are all
these messages about?

Is the project on or off?

We can't go through with it.

What?

They've kidnapped my brother.

Lord.

May I help myself?

They said they'd let him go after you
print my...

Public confession.

They want me to lie about everything.
The aliens, who they are, why they're

here.

What do you... Do you intend to do it?

Got to.

Strong.

Now, I'm going to tell you something.

You may think it's very inhuman, but I'm
going to say it anyway.

You know, this brother of yours is one
man.

One,

do you think that his life is more
important than the entire human race?

At the moment, the only one I care about
is my brother.

Do you know how ironic this is? You are
forcing me to use your own

arguments against yourself.

Now, I have until noon tomorrow. I
cannot let him die.

But if I help you...

I will be helping the enemy.

Now, you can't expect me to do that.

No, no, I know how you feel, but I must,
I must go ahead with these articles,

and I must go ahead with these
broadcasts, with or without your help.

can't do this.

In the first place, you don't have
enough information.

Well, I'll use what information I have.

And I know one thing, that my publishers
will back me. It won't be easy without

you, but I'm going to do it.

And I'm going to fight these creatures
in every way that I know how.

I am going to fight them the way that
you wanted me to fight them.

I'm going to fight them the way you
fought them once yourself.

Care to remember?

Why aren't you in San Diego?

David, I belong here.

I can't go running off somewhere knowing
about it.

I just came by to return the key.

I won't be needing it.

David? Where are you going?

Archer Creek.

That means you've talked with Booth.

Yes. And he's willing to help.

No.

But what about Bob? They'll kill him.

Don't worry. They won't.

But without Booth, we can't meet their
terms.

About to make them a better offer

Sorry to intrude.

My name is Theodore Booth, and I'm
looking for David Vincent.

He left a few minutes ago.

Are you Dr. Vincent's wife?

May I have a word with you, please?

Now, David must have told you that he
needs my help to save his brother. Why

you here?

Well, unfortunately, I need... at least
my publisher thinks so.

Your publisher?

Yes, he is a very unpredictable man, and
after all these years, he's finally

asserted himself, and he has stated that
if there is no Vincent, there will be

no articles. Now, I am flying home in a
short while, and I would like one more

talk with Mr. Vincent. I'm sure that we
can find a solution.

David's found the solution, Mr. Booth.

If I'm not mistaken, he's trading his
life for Bob's.

Trading his life?

Where is he now?

Archer Creek.

Archer Creek?

There's an old winery there.

Ah, yes.

What did the colonel call you?

They told us not to call the police.

At this point, we have no choice.

Now you talk to them and tell them to
meet me there at the winery. I'm on my

way.

Stay right where you are, Mr. Vincent.

Why are you here?

To renegotiate our arrangement.

Our terms were final.

I think you'll prefer my new terms.

Now look, I'm alone. I have no weapons.

Come out where I can see you.

Bring my brother with you.

I want to make sure he's still alive.

Very well, Mr. Vincent.

Your way.

Would you care to join us?

Get in and drive slowly.

State your terms, Mr. Vincent.

A simple trade.

My life and my brother's.

I'm sorry.

Your death would only dramatize Mr.
Booth's article.

Gain them more attention.

You should know that.

I'm giving you a chance to discredit me.

My brother's a doctor.

He can declare that I became insane and
was committed to an institution.

Not a chance, David.

You can later announce that I died in
that institution.

Now, that's the only way I can meet your
demands.

I'll be discredited.

Booth will lose his source of material.

My brother will be at home with his wife
and child.

David, I'm not going to do it like that,
so you might as well forget it.

We would accept your terms, Mr. Vincent.

It seems your brother is not willing to
cooperate.

I'm sorry, David. That's the way it is.
That's the way it's going to stay.

Seems we have another visitor, Mr.
Vincent.

Come out of there, you two.

What's going on here?

Some woman called and said a Dr. Vincent
had been kidnapped. I'm Dr. Vincent.

Well, you look okay to me.

The two men who kidnapped my brother
were in that building.

Well, I suppose you didn't see what
happened.

What is this?

Some kind of a gag?

No.

Officer, there was a building standing
right over there just a few seconds ago.

Sure there was.

All right, fellas.

Party's over.

A couple of wise guys have nothing
better to do than to waste the

money.

Hey, wait a minute.

Forget it.

It won't help.

Lieutenant, that story they were telling
us about that... Don't worry.

I'll check it out.

What is this temperature right now, Mrs.
Johnson?

102.

Well, just keep him lying quietly. Is
that from memory?

Mr. Booth's not easy to forget.

Now, I suppose you're leaving us, too.

Oh, I'll be back.

Now, you take good care of my nephew,
will you?

Goodbye, David.

Goodbye.

Keep applying the hot compresses and
keep checking his temperature.

And I'll see him tomorrow afternoon.

Yes, sir.

Can't you stay for a day or two?

No, we both have work to do.

Grace and I, we'd like to do something
to help.

You already have.

Now that we've seen them, now that we
know who they are, I hate to see you go

this alone, even if you were my brother.

Thanks.

I may take you up on that someday.

Take good care of Grayson. Take good
care of yourself.

One man fighting a secret war against a
hidden enemy.

Someday, when that enemy is defeated...

David Vincent will no longer be alone.

Someday.
