Unit 21 reporting a 618,
Highway 34.

Maroon sedan heading north,

license UTP-725.

Repeat, UTP-725. Out.

(siren blaring)

Are you trying
to kill yourself?

Look, I'm sorry,
Officer,

but we've got to get
to the hospital.

My uncle's had a heart attack.

Follow me.

What is that?

(gunshot)

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:

R.G. Armstrong,

Diana Muldaur,

Arthur Franz,

Kent Smith

and special guest star
Barry Morse.

NARRATOR:
A critically wounded officer;

a garbled account of glowing,
vanishing assailants;

a phone call from a physician

who has come to believe
in invaders from space

and David Vincent
moves into the center

of a widening dragnet.

May I have your
keys, please?

Can I see
your license?

Where are you
headed, sir?

Redstone.

Fine. Thank you.

Okay, let him through.

Just give us
a few minutes.

Joe, this is, uh...

David Vincent.

I asked you
not to bring him here.

He can help find who shot you.

Battersea will find them.

Well, the police don't know
what they're looking for.

Two people who don't want
to be brought in.

But, Joe,
everything you discussed

when you regained
consciousness...

I was delirious.
I didn't know what I was saying.

Well, the old man's
condition--

the glowing
you were talking about

means there's a facility nearby
for what they call regeneration.

Now, we can find
that facility...

Yeah, I have nothing
to say, Mr. Vincent.

Now, butt out.

Morning, Doctor.

Morning, Captain.

How's it coming, Joe?

Ah... I'm making it.

Captain Battersea,
this is David Vincent.

I know who he is.

Why do you think I put
a 24-hour guard on this room?

I'd like to help if I can.

Listen, Vincent,
I'm running a manhunt

not a three-ring circus.

You're not going to
jam my switchboard

with crank phone calls

and send my officers
out after Buck Rogers.

I'd like to speak to Joe alone.

And don't give me
any medical reasons

why I can't have it.

I'm not some crank
you've dragged in here.

I'm like his next of kin.

Two minutes.

Joe... if you change your mind,

I'll be at the hotel.

Nash is lying.

I know.

What did the captain mean
by next of kin?

He brought Joe up after
his father was killed.

What'd you tell Vincent, Joe?

I told him to
leave me alone.

You said some things
when you were brought in.

I was out of my mind.

You sure?

Why would I lie about it?

I can think
of a couple of reasons.

You mean the Tanner kids,
don't you?

Forget it, Bill.

'Cause if you're
doing this

to protect me,

I don't need any help, Joe.

Just find the people
that shot me.

All right.

We'll find them.

We got the plate number,
make of the car.

We got the prettiest dragnet
going you've ever seen.

Roadblocks
on every road out.

We got dogs coming

and I've asked the state police
for choppers.

I promise you
we're going to search

every square yard
in this county.

You give them the devil.

You, too. Now,
get well, won't you?

Yeah.

RADIO ANNOUNCER:
Although Vincent would not comment for the press,

it was clear that he means
to stay in Redstone

until the manhunt is concluded.

Meanwhile, in Washington...

(turns off radio)

Try him at the hotel.

I said, try him.

Now, you know that
I've never disagreed with you before,

but this is a mistake.

If it were anyone
but Vincent.

This would only work
with Vincent.

Now, Claire...

Mr. Vincent, please.

(phone rings)

Hello.

Yes.

My father and I,

we heard about you
on the radio.

Mr. Vincent, we were hiking
and we came across this...

this terrible thing.

It seemed to be almost half...

half human
and half something awful.

Have you called the police?

They thought I was insane.

Mr. Vincent, this monster...

is it one of those aliens
you talk about?

Well, I don't know.

Who are you? Where are you?

All right.

Captain Battersea?

Yes.

Jim Trent, State Police.
This is Lieutenant Rawlings.

Captain.

Came down to see
if we could help out.

Appreciate it.
You want to check the map?

Good.

Oh, your request for
helicopters came through.

We could sure use them.
Any dogs?

Whatever...
I'm not too proud to ask.

Oh, I can put 20 men
into ten cars

and maybe nail them,

but Lord help me if a cat
gets stuck up a tree today,

so whatever you could do...

Yeah, will do.

You know,
we don't think very much

of people who shoot cops,

no matter where in the state
it happens.

This boy,

Joe Nash...
he going to be all right?

If praying helps.

Now, we closed off all roads

within minutes
after it happened.

So we have to believe they're
still within the perimeter.

Now, I've got roadblocks
at each of these points.

There, there, there and there.

Mr. Vincent?

Yes.

Thank you for coming.

Get in.

Now, where's this,
uh... thing?

It's a dirt road
just off the highway.

I'll show you.

What are you going to do
with this creature, Mr. Vincent?

I hope to keep it alive.

That's why I brought oxygen.

Oxygen? But oxygen can kill...

(coughs)

MAN:
I'm not armed, Mr. Vincent.

Neither is she, or you'd
probably be dead by now.

Keith, he won't
listen to you.

We need you, Mr. Vincent.

For what?

To help us
in our search for peace.

You mean surrender, don't you?

We're hardly in a position
to dictate terms, are we?

No.

Claire and I are fugitives
from our own alien compatriots

as well as from your police.

We're marked for death

because we favor
the abandonment of Earth

as an objective.
Keith, don't trust him.

We have to.

But I don't have
to trust you.

Mr. Vincent,
we don't have any time.

This cellar has a primitive
regeneration system--

one of our first on Earth.

It saved my life.

But my compatriots knew
that I needed regeneration

and they'll be coming here soon.

Now, will you listen to me?

Then shoot!

I'll listen to you first.

Three miles.

KEITH:
Yes, we used gasses

before we brought
regeneration tubes down.

Oh, they're quite
harmless to you--

somewhat similar
to what you'd find

in your own deep sea
decompression chambers.

I was one of six leaders

who came here
to plan the final assault.

I hadn't been on Earth a month
before I realized

that we'd been deceived
by the expeditionary forces.

The human brain
is a supple, complex,

highly efficient organ.

It would be a crime
against creation to destroy it.

With ten billion planets
to choose from,

it would be lunacy to continue
our fight against this world.

As soon as I saw that,
I planned to return home

to fight
against the coming slaughter.

That was when they decided
to kill me.

What would stop them...
from killing you at home?

I have many friends there--

powerful friends... leaders.

And I have this.

This is a memory bank.

It contains a million
facts about man.

His philosophy, his science,
his civilization, his world.

It could change
a great many minds.

We finally made contact
with a spacecraft commander

who agreed
to take us home.

We were to meet at 9:00
tomorrow morning, then...

You're not asking me to help
you through the dragnet

after all the nice
things you said

about the human mind?

I told you-- he's obsessed.

He doesn't want peace.

If you want peace,
you'll let me arrange

your surrender
to the authorities.

And bring about the catastrophe
I'm trying to avoid?

With the Earth aware
of our plans,

our forces would be
compelled to attack.

Your planet would be destroyed.

(rhythmic beeping)

My compatriots are here.

Do you want to witness
an execution...

or are you willing to help us,
Mr. Vincent?

We've been authorized
to spare your lives

if you'll give us
the time and place

of your rendezvous tomorrow

and the names of
your collaborators.

We are quite ready to die.

Claire?

There's no need
for you to die, too.

Get it over with.

Thank you, Mr. Vincent,

but I'm afraid
it's only a reprieve.

They won't stop trying.

Let's get inside.

If you're absolutely sure
that there's no way

to get out of here,
Mr. Vincent,

I'd like you
to have this attach� case.

No. He'll take it
to the authorities.

That in itself
will convince them of nothing.

There are others of us
who think as I do.

If they contact you,
give it to them.

Say that it came from a leader.

I assure you,
it will be to your benefit.

How much of a chance
are you willing to take?

To do what?

To get through
the roadblock

and meet the
saucer tomorrow.

Keith, he's leading you
into a trap.

That whole scene
outside could've been staged for my benefit,

but there are several
billion lives at stake,

so I'll go along with you.

If you don't
want to try...

that's all right, too.

Of course I see
the implications, David--

we could win with one big play,
but you'll never make it.

There's no other way.

The farmhouse is in the center
of the search area.

We can't go four miles
in any direction

without running
into a roadblock.

Isn't there any way you could
get the police on your side?

Eh, the chief of police
down here won't even listen.

And I've told you
about Officer Nash.

There's something going on here,
and I don't understand it...

but I have to make a move.

I'm going to catch a plane.

I'll be in Redstone
before midnight.

As soon as they finish
at the riverbank,

I want the main force
to spread out...

in this direction--
up toward the Old Mill Road.

Okay?

Anybody wants me,
I'll be in the photo lab.

Vincent, get
out of my way.

I have something
I think you'd like to see.

What's this?

Aren't you looking
for that license number?

Where'd you get this?

Well, if it told you,
you wouldn't believe me.

But I'll take you
there... alone.

Don't give me that
"alone" baloney

or I'll have you
behind bars for obstructing justice.

That won't solve
your case, will it?

Even the greenest
rookie wouldn't

walk into a situation
like this by himself.

Either you come with me alone,
or you don't come at all.

Okay, let them through.

All right, where
do we go to now?

The Mill Road.

There's a farmhouse
down this way.

That's not where
we're headed, is it?

Is there something
wrong, Captain?

(beeping)

* *

* *

Hold it.

Inside.

Now, don't make a move
and you won't get hurt.

CLAIRE:
Captain Battersea...

you will remember nothing
of what is about to happen.

You will remember nothing.

Is that clear?

Yes.

My name is Trent.

I'm Special Assistant
to the State Chief.

This is Rawlings, my aide.

I bet the captain
was glad to see you.

Joe, the captain left his
office with David Vincent.

Can you think
of any reason why?

Vincent?

He doesn't buy what
Vincent's spouting, does he?

You know better than that.

I understand you met
with Vincent earlier today.

Yeah.

RAWLINGS:
What could you tell him?

Just that, uh...

he's bad news, that's all.

Well, whether we
like it or not,

he's gotten
himself involved.

Joe...

if you think
of anything

would you give
us a call?

Yeah, sure.

The captain's not

in trouble, is he?

I hope not.

A Sergeant Thompkins called.

Said there's
a Captain Trent

down from State Police
headquarters.

I know him.

He's a good man.

Is everything all right,
Captain?

Fine.

What's holding us up?

BATTERSEA:
I don't know.

Leeds, we've got
to get going.

Okay.

Why are we
stopping here?

That's your car,
isn't it?

David.

(whirring)

(crystal shattering)

We're going to have
to take him with us.

You're going to
do what I say.

Get in that car.

Vincent, do you know
what you're doing?

The penalty for
something like this--

they'll throw away
to key.

Get in.

(rotors whirring overhead)

Better get off
the highway.

We'll have to stay
out of sight

until we get to a phone.

I've alerted every
peace officer

in the northern half
of the state.

How many units have you
transferred up there?

40, Captain.

What about choppers?

Four. They'll be up again
with first light.

Good.

Captain Trent.

Yes?

Edgar Scoville.

Chief Kusick and I are
pretty good friends.

Oh, yes, Mr. Scoville.

I've heard him
mention your name.

What can I
do for you?

Captain, I think
you're setting the stage

for a tragic mistake
in regard to David Vincent.

Oh?
I know him.

What I think of
his theories is beside the point,

but he is neither a criminal
nor dangerous to your men.

Well, then just what
are you afraid of, sir?

That in this atmosphere,
you're building

to shoot first
and ask questions later.

I can assure you

that that will never happen
on this police force.

Good.

Thank you for your time,
Captain.

Good night.

Watch him.

Right.

We have adjoining cabins.

Come on, Captain, out.

Come on, move.

I don't know what
you think you're doing.

Just hope you know
what the ante is.

I guess I was wrong
about Vincent.

Now they'll kill him.

We can't concern
ourselves with that.

Can't we?

Isn't he as good
an argument for humanity

as that case
you're carrying?

Vincent, she's quite a dame,
I'll have to admit.

But she's not worth the price
you're paying for her.

You think we're
kidnappers, don't you?

(knocking)

Who is it?

Claire.

David, I came to see
if I could help.

If you two want to be
alone, why don't you just...

Captain!

You've been chief
of police in Redstone

a long time, haven't you?

Remember
the Tanners, Captain?

You remember
the Tanner children?

Twins, 16 years old,
a boy and a girl?

One day, they came
to you with a story.

Outside that farmhouse,

they saw a man burn up
and disappear.

Men had shot at him
as he ran through the woods.

They imagined it.

That's what you told them

because you investigated
and found nothing.

We're very good at covering
our tracks, Captain.

That farmhouse hasn't
been used in years.

But the real trouble
didn't start

until the children read
about David Vincent

and decided that what
they'd seen were aliens.

You laughed at them.

But they insisted.

And then one night,

the Tanner house
burned down.

No one escaped.

Aliens set that fire, Captain,
to keep them quiet.

Garbage.
A lot of garbage.

Yes, that's what you've been
telling yourself for a year,

because if we exist

and you didn't care
enough to find out,

then you're responsible
for their deaths.

Well, we do exist.

No.

There's no pulse
in that arm.

There's no heart in here...

and no blood, Captain.

No blood.

Vincent, get her out of here.

Get her out of here!

Vincent, how could you...

how could you help them?

These two are different.

All they want to do
is get to their own planet

and stop their people
from making war with us.

Vincent,
you've got to kill them.

Do you understand?

You've got to kill them.

Kill them!

Thanks for coming down
again, Captain.

What is it, Joe?

I, uh... I think
we'd better be alone.

Police business, Doctor.

Would you excuse us?

Any word on the captain?

No.

There's something I think
I'd better tell you.

I wasn't delirious.

That first story I told--

that's the way
it really happened.

About the glowing man who
disappeared when you shot him?

That's right.

See, the captain...

the captain couldn't live
with that.

Something that happened
about a year ago.

If he knew there really were
aliens, he'd...

And there really are, huh?

And they may have the captain.

I see.

What's that?

What is that?

What is...?

(phone ringing)

Hello.

David.

Are you all right?

They almost spotted us twice.

We'll need another car.

Where are you?

A motel--
the other side of Travistock.

I'll get started right away.

So long.

You have a minute?

For what?

Just to sit
and talk.

Sure.

What's going
to happen to you

if we do get away?

I don't know.

Nothing good.

Police captains don't
like to be kidnapped.

Then why help us?

You're a chance
worth taking.

You can stop your people
from making war with us.

That's all that matters.

If you spend the rest
of your life in jail?

Is it that important?

Why?

Why don't I butt out?

I don't know.

You know what
your people are like.

What will happen
if we don't fight back?

Sooner or later,
you'll be killed.

Or wind up
in Captain Battersea's jail.

Is that any better?

Anyway, what else would I do?

You've been told we have
no feelings, haven't you?

I've seen it.

No. You've see the murderers,
the executioners.

David...

some of us are able
to feel with our minds as...

as deeply as you feel
with your heart.

You're a woman here on Earth...

but, uh... are you...?

A woman where I come from?

Well, its equivalent, anyway.

Does that make a difference,
David?

Rawlings here.

He's still on the main highway.

Either he knows
he's being followed

or he just likes to drive fast.

TRENT:
He must have seen you.

Pull him over.

See if you can get any answers.

Then lock him up for six hours.

Reckless driving.

Right.

(siren wailing)

MAN ON RADIO:
We interrupt to bring you a late news item.

Officer Joe Nash
died suddenly tonight

at Redstone General Hospital

of wounds received in
a gun battle some 30 hours ago.

Details on our 11:00 newscast.

Hello? Hello?

This is Captain Battersea--

the one they're looking for
over in Redstone.

You got to make a call for me.

They can't stop us now.

My friend will be here
any minute with a car.

From then on in,
it's all downhill.

For us.

Not for you.

Oh, I don't know.

Battersea will see
the saucer tomorrow.

If that doesn't
convince him,

maybe I'll hitch
a ride with you.

Good night, David.

Good night.

That's right.

Riverview Motel,
outside of Travistock.

They...

It's going to be tough
during daylight.

I wish Scoville could
have arranged a car last night.

(rotors whirring overhead)

David.

Police.

Can we stay clear
of them until 9:00?

Depends where
their ground units are.

We're talking
about exactly 9:00.

The ship won't wait
five minutes in daylight.

You'll all be out
of action by 9:00.

I got it.

Captain.

One of the 'copters
spotted them.

Where?

Route 10,
headed north.

Uh-huh.
The chopper still with them?

Needed fuel.

We've got them.

There's no way out

until they reach
this cutoff.

Unit 22.

Right.

Unit 22. Come in, Unit 22.

Unit 22.

Subject car headed north
on Route 10.

Set up a block at
the Bitter Creek intersection.

Roger.

(siren wailing)

Only another
half hour.

(tires squealing)

Hey! Hold it!

Listen, Battersea,
millions of lives depend

upon whether these people
get to that spacecraft or not.

Get us through
this roadblock.

After what they did
to Joe and the Tanners?

All right, out!

If you want your
captain alive, move back.

Don't listen to him.
Back off!

All right, back off.

Drop the guns.

Keep moving.

Get out.

Get out!

Go on.

We'll take their car.

Come on. Move!

Go on! Move!

Look out!

What's that?

That's what this
is all about.

How could they?

All right. Here.

Take it.

Let's go.

Come on!

* *

* *

* *

Well...

there's eight minutes.

Let's see if we can get
to that spaceship.

David, Captain,
we're going to try.

Will you come back?

No, David, I...

I won't be back.

NARRATOR:
For David Vincent and his new ally

sadness for what they have lost

and hope for what
they may have gained.

Already, tens
of thousands of miles away,

an alien saucer
speeds through the void

on a mission not of death,
but of life.
