A chance...
a fighting chance.

Come on.

There'll be a couple
of others there.

I can't help it.

That's the way
he runs his shop.

He's a little dynamo
with a napoleonic complex.

It's a calculated risk.

David Vincent,
June Murray.

June is Mr. Mace's
executive secretary

and about the brightest thing
they've invented since Jackie.

Also a bomb-stopper

as you can see.

Let's not the oil
up above the knee, shall we?

Mace's right hand,
left hand, also memory lobe.

Hello, Mr. Vincent.

How do you do?

I somehow had the idea
you'd look a little wilder.

( intercom buzzes )

Yes?

Yes, I'll wait.

Yes?

I'll have to put
you on hold.

Will you have him
standing by?

Right.

( hangs up phone )

We'd better go now.

Nivin's there already.

John, uh, this
is David Vincent.

John Nivin, science editor.

DAVID:
Hello.

Hi.

David.

Vincent?

Yes, sir.

My nephew.

Jeremy Mace.

How are you?

Sit down, gentlemen.

We are a news-gathering
organization, Mr. Vincent,

as perhaps you've heard---

the greatest
news-gathering organization

in the history
of the publishing world

and yet, in spite
of all our so-called expertise

we can't discover
what is happening

within our own organization.

But you

and our gifted
Mr. Ferrara... you can tell us.

We think so.

You two have the answer,
no matter how fantastic.

You can say definitely
why our key executives

continue to leave
without reason.

Your theory gets
a little slippery

right around in there,
Mr. Vincent.

Jeremy.

Sorry about that.

And you can tell us
who these people are

who are pressuring
to buy control of the company.

In other words, inspired
by some otherworld wisdom

you can tell us

what the devil's
going on.

Yes, sir.

Humility as a virtue
is not yours, Mr. Vincent.

Well, Mr. Mace,
we, uh, happen to have

our own expertise.

Just who are "we," Mr. Vincent?

There are seven of us right now.

Are you in this group?

Yes, sir.

Are there any crack-brains
in with you?

No, sir. You know
Edgar Scoville.

Bob, come on

you can't possibly tell me
you believe this stuff?

Alien beings here on earth?

Come on.

I believe it.

I know it.

Wouldn't things look
a little better

after some black coffee, Robert?

Either there
are aliens here

or a man whose mind
you've respected until now

has gone off
his rocker

and you're badly in need
of a new associate editor.

I see.

That's your hook.

That's my hook, and the fact
that you're a curious man.

Am I?

Yes, you are.

There was nothing like
a modern news magazine

before you came along.

You invented it.

You put it together
because you have

an insatiable
thirst for facts.

From the moment
a reliable man like Mr. Ferrara

handed you my summary and you
read it, you were hooked.

There's nothing
you can do about it now.

You want to know;
you've got to know.

Vincent, no one's
talked to me like this.

I'm sorry, but
just how far

do you think
I'd get with you

if I used the
gentle approach?

Do you realize what
this means to us?

You know what we'd do
to get your backing?

Did you call Edgar Scoville?

He's on hold, Mr. Mace.

Would you put him on, please?

Edgar, your friend Vincent
is rude, hostile,

boorish and arrogant,

but I'm going ahead.

NARRATOR:
Starring Roy Thinnes 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.

( eerie whirring )

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

( whirring intensifies )

Now David Vincent knows
that the invaders are here,

that they have taken
human form.

Somehow, he must convince
a disbelieving world

that the nightmare
has already begun.

The guest stars
in tonight's story:

Linden Chiles,

Nancy Kovak,

Kent Smith,

Martin Wolfson.

NARRATOR:
William Mace made the most important decision of his life

and hours later,
members of an enemy force

began to assemble
at an office building

in downtown New York--

executives
of an alien task force,

summoned
to an urgent summit meeting,

another calculated step

in their planned annihilation
of our civilization.

I will report
to the executive committee.

Proceed.

Steps one through four
of infiltration

on the executive level
of the Mace Publishing Company

have now been achieved.

The two
remaining targets

are presently
being exploited.

With regard to
William Mace himself--

it may be necessary
to make an adjustment.

His nephew, his heir, however,

is eminently suitable
for our purpose, fortunately,

for circumstances have changed
radically in the past few hours.

There is a group of men
aware of our presence.

They have convinced Mace,
and have gained

the promise
of his support

which means the
entire resources of Mace Publishing.

It is my recommendation

that Mace
be immediately destroyed

and we pursue
the alternate plan.

Agreed.

I want it set up
exactly as if we were

under a number-four alert
from washington.

I'll see all reports personally

with carbons
to Edgar Scoville here.

Our staff members are to believe

we are working
with the Pentagon

seeking confirmation
that enemy forces

are attempting
to penetrate

the defenses
of this country.

I think it's best
to keep it general, Bill.

If word gets out
that you think

there are aliens here
before we have the proof

either the people
will panic

or you're going
to get laughed at.

I'm not in this business
to scare people

and certainly not
to be laughed at.

All right, say that we're
investigating another country

which is using the cover
of men-from-space scare--

a scare, nothing more--
which we are trying to suppress.

I think that should
assure us of secrecy

as well as eliminate
any tendency towards panic

of sensationalism.

Emmett, you have carte blanche.

Use whoever
and whatever you need.

Don't hang up on expense.

The slightest
suspicious circumstance

anywhere in the country
is to be minutely investigated.

Clear?

With evaluation
to be made by Ferrara

and Vincent
and Scoville here.

Well, I'd like to hear

my editor-in-chief's
invaluable opinion.

Emmett?

Well, Mr. Mace,
working with you

I expect to be
continually astonished

and I am never
disappointed.

But I'll tell you this.

If there is some such thing

as an alien in this country,
we'll find him.

Jeremy?

Ah, yes, let me see.

My assignment is Eric Lund,

who is guilty
of trying to buy

an interest in
this magazine.

Got it.

I think that's all.

EDGAR:
Bill.

You understand, don't you?

You're putting
your life in danger.

I've weathered quite
a few risks in my time.

I know you have.

Vincent, I may
not believe

but you will get
my full cooperation...

for the duration.

Is there anything
else, Mr. Mace?

No, thank you.

What was it,
a six-martini lunch?

Does it matter?

Does it really,
really matter?

Well, I can't say it adds
to your attractiveness

and he hates it, you know.

What's the matter?

Three weeks ago, we really
started something big.

It seems like three months,
three years...

That bad?

What happened?

We both have
busy jobs, Jerry...

Not your ambition again?

Partly.

"Partly."

And partly my what?

Or my lack of what?

Now, come on, June.

Don't be afraid to tear
the wings off the butterfly.

I can take that.

Well, it's just...
a little thing.

That weekend, three weeks ago...

That was a perfect weekend.

But your uncle asked you
to go to San Francisco.

Jerry, a centerfold

somebody was paying
$100,000 for

wasn't ready.

And... you didn't go.

Of course I didn't.

I had that weekend
in Puerto Rico all set up

just for you and me.

That's not the point, Jerry.

Well, what is the point?

Emmett Morgen
took care of it.

He went to San Francisco,
the company got its $100,000

and we had a marvelous weekend.

Marvelous.

Marvelous.

So what do you want me to do,
stand you up?

Jerry, you're a dear, sweet,

lovely boy

and I have to work at not
falling in love with you.

I am not a boy.

Boys take girls to Puerto Rico
for weekends.

Men do their work.

Oh, dear.

You know, June, ambition
is a wonderful thing--

it really is--

and it's great
being a superwoman...

as long as
the important word is woman.

Am I making
myself clear?

Perfectly.

Good.

You are speaking of the glories
of sweet surrender.

You've got it...

right.

( dialing )

Murph? Yeah.

This is Jeremy.

Listen, Murph...

uh, I was wondering
if you're going

to be using the
studio this evening.

Mm-hmm...

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

About 10:00.

Yeah, good.

Good, good boy.

Jerry...

I'm not at all sure I...

want to see you tonight
at Murph's or...

or anywhere else,
because, well...

( intercom buzzes )

Mmm...

( buzzing )

JEREMY:
Yes, sir?

Jeremy...

will you come in for a moment?

Well, I...

It's important.

Very.

Alone, please.

Okay.

SECRETARY:
Yes, sir?

My nephew will be along
in a moment.

We'll leave shortly.

Meanwhile, I don't want
to be disturbed...

for any reason.

Yes, sir.

( whistling )

Hey, what is this?

John, what are you doing?

Gentlemen...

we've put you back in control
of yourselves

because there's something
we'd like you to see.

You're responsible
for this.

Then it's true--
all of it.

Well, you did believe
David Vincent, didn't you?

Well, why did
you back him?

You know, I sometimes
find it difficult

to follow human reasoning.

The, uh,
"illogical logic"

I think was once
your phrase, no?

Hello, Jerry.

Eric, please, what is
going on here? Please?

Whatever it is,
we're leaving.

Mr. Mace...

now, if you'll go
with these two guards, Mr. Mace.

No matter what you do,
my people won't stop.

Now, Jeremy,
be quiet.

Our mission
is to take over

the news media
of your country.

The first step will
be to gain control of Now magazine.

So you can understand why
you are so important to us.

I think you're mad...

I think you're mad.

I think this is a charade.

Very well.

You've chosen.

Watch this wall over here.

No.

Stop!

No! Stop!

Please! Stop it!

For the love of God,
please! Stop!

For God's sake,
stop! Please!

Please! Stop!

Stop! Please!

He was not a
weak man, Jerry.

Don't hope.

Don't bring more
horror to yourself.

The slightest
threat to us,

either from your
magazine or from you

would mean
the execution

of the people
closest to you.

The next one
will be June.

Come on, Jerry.

He was an unlikely man
to have a heart attack.

Look, Mr. Vincent, no matter
how much of a coincidence

all this may seem to you,
there is no other story.

He had a heart attack,
he lost control of the car

and I couldn't grab
the wheel in time.

There were no
otherworldly creatures lurking about.

This is as safe a place
as we'll ever be, Jerry.

Bob, the story is exactly
the way I told it to them.

DAVID:
Did they threaten you?

Did who threaten me?

Tell us what happened.

I saw my uncle die
of a heart attack-- that's what happened.

And I had a nightmare
of a ride, and I'm...

I'm facing a responsibility
that...

a responsibility for the company
that I do not want

and I cannot for the life of me
see how I'm going to chuck it,

and would you please
just get off my back?

During this...
transition period

we're very fortunate to...

to be able to turn
to Mr. Lund

whose syndicate is making
a substantial investment

in Mace Publications.

As their spokesman, Mr. Lund
will actively participate

in the management
of the company,

and he will function
as my executive assistant.

In that capacity

his voice will be...

will be considered
the same as my voice.

Mr. Eric Lund.

Gentlemen... Miss Murray.

I know it
is difficult

for people
in a closely knit organization

to suddenly have an outsider
thrust upon them.

It, uh, is entirely
human in such a circumstance

to harbor a certain
hostility toward the newcomer.

Nevertheless, I
should like to speak a word of caution.

We are attempting
to overcome a very real tragedy.

We will have difficult
days ahead, and neither

Mr. Jeremy Mace
nor myself

can accept such an
attitude as an excuse

for anything less than complete
and total cooperation

with the new management.

One of Mr. William Mace's

most distinctive
characteristics

was the fact that he pretty much
ran a one-man shop.

In the matter of policy,

he tolerated no one's opinion
other than his own--

his view
of the news,

his position
with regard to the events of the day

with a view
and position of the magazines.

I think you
should know from the outset

that Mr. Jeremy Mace
intends to pursue this exact policy.

Mr. Lund?

Yes, Mr. Morgen?

Mr. Mace was one thing.

This new management
you speak of

is something else again.

The dictatorship of
personal policies...

Yes, Mr. Morgen?

Without considering
Mr. Jeremy Mace for the moment...

what are you qualifications
for the job?

I rather think this is just
what I was cautioning you about.

It's a legitimate question
if we're...

it is hostile, it is resentful,
it is divisive.

Whatever it is,
I think it should be answered.

You are making a serious
protest, then, Mr. Morgen?

If you like.

I assume you are offering

your resignation, Mr. Morgen?

If you like.

It is accepted, Mr. Morgen,
with our deepest regret.

Emmett!

You have our deepest regrets.

If you'll excuse us, Mr. Morgen,

while we get on with
the business of the meeting?

Just like that, huh?

How long was he with Mace?

31 years...

from the beginning.

They don't make them
like Emmett.

Tell him he has
a job with me.

Name his own title,
salary, starting date.

He's a proud guy.

He still thinks
that we're the three witches from Macbeth.

He was fired, Mace was murdered,
and Jeremy sold out.

The message must be
getting through.

Poor Jerry,
the poor scared rabbit.

How do we reach him?

They have him in
a vise, obviously.

The trouble is,
we don't know what kind.

Does he have family?

No. Mace was it.

Sorry to have to
cut out on you now

but if I don't get
back to Syracuse,

my whole business comes
down around my ears.

I'll stay in touch.

You have to get
to Jeremy.

Somebody must have
a hold on him.

June Murray.

Make one for me...
light of my life.

You're going to collect
quite a few more.

Resignations?

Mm-hmm.

My own will come
as a crocheted motto--

look perfectly darling
over your bed.

No more loving heart, June?

Each morn when you awake

it will congratulate you
on your escape.

Escape from what?

From the tedium
of being a man.

Oh, June, please.

Some day...

I'm going to surprise you, June.

Mmm, I'd like that.

Some day, that is...

if you'd bring me
the tail of the dragon.

What a day that would be.

What a night.

What a celebration.

I just...

I just... want you
to know one thing.

I love Emmett Morgen.

The first day
that I ever

came to work
in this organization

when everybody was falling
all over themselves

to kiss the nephew's hand
and lick the nephew's boots

he sent me out for coffee.

You fired him, Jerry.

He sent me
out for coffee

and I brought
it back with cream

but he wanted it black

and so he sent
me out again

and then he turned me over
to a 19-year-old kid

and told me
to keep my mouth shut

until I learned
to run copy.

He taught me
how to proofread.

He taught me to set up
an advertisement

even taught me to cut
a clean stencil

so I wouldn't
have a heart attack

if my secretary
was out to lunch.

He taught me
everything I know

and I had to be sharp.

You fired him, Jerry.

Do you think that I
wanted to do that?

I had to do that.

Why?

Please. Please be
at Murphy's tonight at 10:00.

Sorry, light of my life.

I forgot the address.

June, don't
be frightened.

Get in, please.

We're sorry, we didn't want
them to see us with you.

Oh, your battle
with that malevolent planet.

We need your help.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You know,
I see them all as stars.

I wish on them.

They twinkle back

and that's been

my relationship for years.

Jeremy Mace
is in trouble.

Jeremy Mace has been in trouble
since the day he was born.

I'm tired and I think
you're both slightly mad

and I don't feel like
playing Alice in Wonderland.

June...

the guy you're in love with
is in trouble

and we need your help.

Are you being
masterful, Bob?

If I have to be.

Well, I'll let you in
on a secret.

I am an alp

a glacial alp
with no time for love

and office gossip
to the contrary

certainly not
in love with Jeremy.

When you hurt,
you really ache, don't you?

Now, he's walking
a thin line.

He won't make
it by himself.

How is he in trouble?

Look, you don't
have to believe us about the aliens

if you don't want
to, but think--

why would he let
Emmett Morgen be fired?

Was he simply
indifferent?

You know better
than that.

June, Jerry was with Mace
when he was killed--

uh, when Mace was murdered,
as we're sure he was.

They took Jerry
at the same time

and they worked on him.

And when they
brought him back

he must have been
pretty badly bent.

He's obviously acting
under their orders.

We've got to
break him loose.

This is June.

Is he there?

Jerry?

June, I... I can't talk.

I'm... I'm busy.

Jerry, I'm scared.

Bob and this Vincent
have been telling me things.

Can't we talk tomorrow?

Not tomorrow, tonight.

At Murph's?

Murph's a freelance
magazine photographer

who will rise to the
top of his profession.

He has this offbeat
studio in the village

and every night he
lets Jeremy use it

he takes another
giant step.

I hope Jerry comes alone.

You know, it's
heads I lose...

tails I lose.

Either he fired
Emmett Morgen

for no good reason

or there's a reason
I'm going to find hard to live with.

( gunshots )

How could it
happen like that?

And Nivin...
how could he...?

Uh... Bob?

Uh... David.

David!

( ringing )

Hello.

June, they say he's gone
to Eric Lund's camp

at Lake Sherwood.

Oh, who did
you talk to?

Jeremy's housekeeper.

He'll be at the camp--
some sort of a fishing lodge--

for the weekend...
possibly longer.

Thanks. Thanks, Emmett.

June... are you in trouble?

No, Emmett.

Bob Ferrara hasn't
been filling you

full of that junk, has he?

Oh, no, Emmett.

No.

Personal.

Something personal.

Thanks.

I... now, I didn't call
you, you understand?

Sure, kid.

They're keeping
him on ice.

While they
look for us?

How big a net
do they have?

David...

David, I'm scared.

Well, I'm not taking
you up there

if that's what
you're thinking.

But I'm the only way

to get through
to him, am I not?

* *

(horse neighs)

* *

* *

(helicopter propeller whirring)

June, what are
you doing here?

You're crazy.

Jerry, stop it.

They might have seen us.

There's a helicopter coming in.

They killed
Bob Ferrara.

What?

At Murph's. Call Bellevue
Emergency if you like.

June... you can't have

any understanding
of what they're like.

You've got to get
her out of here.

That's not enough.

There's no place she can go.

She can go
to the FBI.

If she did,
you wouldn't last a minute.

Now, we have chance to stop them

but we need
your help.

It's not my
responsibility.

If you saw somebody
ready to drop a bomb

you'd do something
about it, wouldn't you?

You cannot conceive of what
these creatures are like.

The hero stuff
doesn't cut it, bel...

I'm sorry. Maybe we
could make a deal with them.

You can't make
deals with them.

They've made the
game and the rules.

We're the enemy.

They're going
to kill us all.

( helicopter approaching )

Everything all right?

If you go out there,

do you think you can
get the guard's gun?

I don't know.

Could you?

It'd be like
bringing home

the tail of the
dragon, wouldn't it?

It's possible,
just barely possible.

All right. Then,
you can take Lund hostage.

We'll use their
helicopter and take Lund with us.

All right, I'll try.

They could have spotted us
from that helicopter

when we came
down here-- in case they did

tell Lund we're in here,
and act as though

you're double-crossing us.

That might give you time
to get the gun.

Okay, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Eric!

Yes, Jerry?

Yes, Jerry?

Come.

Come.

I suppose he tried.

Can't blame him
entirely.

For some people

it's more difficult
than it is for others.

He's always been
turned on too high.

That's the way
they made him.

His uncle...

his uncle was
always a big man...

and Jerry's still pretty
much a little boy.

Only he's not
a coward, David

not really.

He was always afraid
he was going to be afraid.

You know what
that means?

( coughing )

Sit down, Jerry.

Very well.

All reports from
the city negative.

One indication only--

a service station,
Pleasantown,

early this morning.

A man and a woman
as described

asking directions
to the lake.

It might indicate
they are headed here.

I rather think
they're here already.

Look at him.

( coughing )

Aren't they, Jerry?

Aren't who?

Jerry.

Jerry.

( tsking )

Now, haven't you
learned yet?

Search.

I suggest
the stable first.

( silenced gunshot )

Apparently, our security
hasn't entirely failed.

Hold it!

Bring them here.

( silenced gunshot )

He'll die!

One move and
he'll die! You got that?

All right,
turn around.

We're going to
the helicopter.

Move.

Jeremy.

( coughing )

Jeremy, this is the
greatest foolishness.

I'm sorry for you.

Shut up!

Do you actually think
you can bring this off?

Oh, my dear boy.

Just keep moving, my dear boy.

Do you remember, Jeremy,

what you were permitted
to see that day?

Keep quiet.

Keep quiet.

Keep going.

Under no circumstance
will they allow me

to be taken captive.

Jeremy, your position
is hopeless.

They will order
me sacrificed

the moment they
think you have

any chance at all.

Shut up!

By the time we reach
that helicopter undoubtedly.

Shut up! Shut up!

They're nearing the helicopter.

Stand by.

Jeremy...

look over there.

They have us in their sights.

The have reported

and are only
awaiting for orders.

I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to kill you.

He'll make it.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

That is the situation, sir.

They must be stopped
regardless of the cost.

Very good, sir.

( engine starts )

Yes, sir?

Execute.

Yes, sir.

Set it down!

Down! Set it down!

* *

We are a news-gathering
organization, gentlemen

as some of you may have heard.

The largest and the greatest
news-gathering organization

in the history
of the publishing world

and we are going to find out
what in the devil is going on.

Now, in a certain respect

our search for the truth
is hampered by the fact

that our science editor,
John Nivin,

and his friends are
no longer with us.

However, I don't think
we're going to miss them.

I don't know what
else to say, Emmett, except get with it.

Send the reports to me
as soon as they come in.

Send carbon copies
to Edgar Scoville.

I'm glad to have you back.

Thank you, Mr. Mace.

Glad to be back.

Gentlemen.

How'd the
chair feel?

Too big.

Didn't look
too big.

Here.

No, thanks.

David, you help us
dig up the proof

and we'll print it,
I promise you.

Good. You know
about our group.

I'd like to consider
myself a member.

Glad to have
you, Mr. Mace.

Keep in touch.

So long, Jerry.

Miss Murray.

I wish I didn't have
to work this weekend.

There'll be others.

Narrator:
Two more to be added to the handful of believers.

A cool young woman

and the editor
of an important magazine

and they will go on

with David Vincent watching,
waiting, fighting the invaders.
