1 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,660 - We've gotta figure out where that power fade comes from. 2 00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:48,693 Okay, I'll see you later, bye. 3 00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:52,260 - You ever think of trying sleep instead of Benzedrine? 4 00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:53,828 You know, you might like it. 5 00:03:53,828 --> 00:03:55,350 - Huh. 6 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:56,730 Brother, I've had some tough nuts 7 00:03:56,730 --> 00:03:58,323 to crack in my time, thanks. 8 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Nothing like this. 9 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,950 And to top it off, this guy has to go 10 00:04:03,950 --> 00:04:06,100 and get himself killed right outside the base. 11 00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:07,562 - Mm, if he was killed. 12 00:04:07,562 --> 00:04:08,395 - What do you mean? 13 00:04:08,395 --> 00:04:11,185 - Well, he coulda died from natural causes, you know. 14 00:04:11,185 --> 00:04:14,330 - Oh, that's a switch coming from a base security man. 15 00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:16,337 You fellows are usually suspicious of everything. 16 00:04:16,337 --> 00:04:19,720 - Okay, here's the sentry's reports, 17 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,590 and, uh, this just came in from the FBI. 18 00:04:22,590 --> 00:04:24,218 It's what they have on the dead man Griselle. 19 00:04:24,218 --> 00:04:25,135 - Oh, yeah? 20 00:04:26,288 --> 00:04:28,878 "Jacques Griselle, 35, French Canadian. 21 00:04:28,878 --> 00:04:30,108 "Graduate of Toronto University. 22 00:04:30,108 --> 00:04:31,888 "Specialized in scientific farming. 23 00:04:31,888 --> 00:04:33,578 "Good war record, born in Toronto. 24 00:04:33,578 --> 00:04:35,758 "Went north for farming after the war. 25 00:04:35,758 --> 00:04:39,570 "Has sister Barbara, age 24, living on the farm with him." 26 00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:41,030 - Well, both the Griselles got a clean slate. 27 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:42,420 There's nothing suspicious about them. 28 00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:43,253 - Yeah? 29 00:04:43,253 --> 00:04:45,060 What was Griselle doing in the woods at 3:00 30 00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:46,630 in the morning, farming? 31 00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:47,610 - Cigarette? 32 00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:48,443 - No, thanks. 33 00:04:49,788 --> 00:04:50,770 - What are you gonna do now? 34 00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:53,150 Get yourself all involved in this business? 35 00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:55,280 Let the local authorities figure it out, Jeff. 36 00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:56,230 - Well, the Colonel doesn't think 37 00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:57,880 it's that easy, and neither do I. 38 00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:01,090 Besides, who can forget the look on that dead man's face? 39 00:05:01,090 --> 00:05:03,783 - Now there's probably some simple explanation. 40 00:05:03,783 --> 00:05:06,180 - Hmm, I don't know. 41 00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,800 Maybe Doc Warren has the answer. 42 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,050 He should be finished with the autopsy 43 00:05:09,050 --> 00:05:10,640 by now, let's go on over. 44 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,473 - Okay. 45 00:05:30,028 --> 00:05:30,862 - Morning, Doc. 46 00:05:30,862 --> 00:05:32,200 - Morning, Jeff, Hal. 47 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,033 - Hi, Doc. 48 00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,070 - I've just been trying to get to you. 49 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:35,038 - Well, what's the story? 50 00:05:35,038 --> 00:05:35,870 - Sit down. 51 00:05:37,650 --> 00:05:40,420 I wasn't able to perform your autopsy. 52 00:05:40,420 --> 00:05:41,560 - Why not? 53 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,590 - 'Cause the Mayor of Winthrop and a local doctor 54 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:45,690 named Bradley, who's the coroner, too, 55 00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:47,590 came up and claimed the body this morning. 56 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,680 - Well, why didn't you call me? 57 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,620 - Mayor had already talked to the Colonel. 58 00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:51,760 - Oh, that's ridiculous. 59 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,670 - Well, what's the difference? 60 00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:54,450 They've got the body, so it's finished. 61 00:05:54,450 --> 00:05:56,080 - Finished? 62 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,660 Eh, I wouldn't bet on it. 63 00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:00,600 They'll probably blame the death on our atomic reactors. 64 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,310 - Mm, it's this fear of radioactive fallout. 65 00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:04,660 - We're not exploding atom bombs. 66 00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:07,200 We're just using atomic power for our radar experiments. 67 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,730 - Sure, go out and tell him that. 68 00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:10,240 You know, we're 1,000 miles 69 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,110 from the nearest decent-sized city. 70 00:06:12,110 --> 00:06:13,890 - What a bunch of backward people. 71 00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:17,110 They've blamed us for too little rain, too much rain, 72 00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:20,340 the blight, the beetle, even Mrs. O'Leary's ailing cow. 73 00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:21,600 - That's why we have to have an autopsy, 74 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,260 so we can prove the death wasn't caused by radiation. 75 00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:25,850 - Well, the coroner said it was heart failure. 76 00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:26,728 That oughta do it, he's one of them. 77 00:06:26,728 --> 00:06:29,183 - Well, you can't figure their minds, though. 78 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:31,733 - Excuse me, sir. 79 00:06:31,733 --> 00:06:33,520 Colonel Butler phoned to ask the Major 80 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,293 to report to his office right away. 81 00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:38,773 - All right, Mr. Mayor, if that's the way it is, 82 00:06:40,082 --> 00:06:42,098 no sense in asking you again, is there? 83 00:06:42,098 --> 00:06:44,013 - No, sir, there'll be no autopsy. 84 00:06:44,845 --> 00:06:45,678 - Come in. 85 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,905 Ah, Major Cummings. 86 00:06:47,905 --> 00:06:49,120 - You sent for me, sir? 87 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,570 - Yes, Major. 88 00:06:50,570 --> 00:06:52,658 I'd like to introduce Miss Barbara Griselle 89 00:06:52,658 --> 00:06:55,080 and Mayor Hawkins, Major Cummings. 90 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,060 - How do you do? 91 00:06:56,060 --> 00:06:56,960 - Major. - Mayor. 92 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,130 - If you don't mind, Colonel, I've made up my mind. 93 00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:02,630 It's all settled. 94 00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:04,240 - Just this one point. 95 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,840 You know that our governments, 96 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,390 Canada and the U.S.A., have set up this base 97 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:10,260 as a joint protection for our people. 98 00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:12,053 - We know that, and we've told you 99 00:07:12,053 --> 00:07:14,850 that we feel that the refusal of an autopsy, 100 00:07:14,850 --> 00:07:16,180 sorry, Miss Griselle, 101 00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:18,453 refusing to do it won't disrupt the effort. 102 00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:22,593 - Miss Griselle, Mayor Hawkins, 103 00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:26,770 I'm no parley diplomat, I'm an Army man, 104 00:07:26,770 --> 00:07:29,760 I'm straightforward, maybe even blunt. 105 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,803 But I'm afraid I must use stronger methods of persuasion. 106 00:07:34,090 --> 00:07:35,790 You recognize this, Miss Griselle? 107 00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:39,010 It's your brother's notebook. 108 00:07:39,010 --> 00:07:42,160 He's made some very interesting notations. 109 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,053 Major, take a look at this page here. 110 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,858 What's it look like to you? 111 00:07:50,733 --> 00:07:52,230 - It's a timetable schedule. 112 00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:54,470 - You note the times indicated in each line? 113 00:07:54,470 --> 00:07:55,895 What is it? 114 00:07:55,895 --> 00:07:58,290 - Why, the schedule of our takeoffs and landings. 115 00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:00,670 - That's enough to give me what I want, Miss Griselle. 116 00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:02,380 - May I have a look at that notebook? 117 00:08:02,380 --> 00:08:03,580 - Give it to her, Major. 118 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:05,550 - Thank you. 119 00:08:10,250 --> 00:08:13,230 This schedule is a list of your takeoff and landings. 120 00:08:13,230 --> 00:08:16,260 Our herds milk at four-nothing cream content, 121 00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:18,890 and my brother felt it was due to the jets flying overhead. 122 00:08:18,890 --> 00:08:21,010 That's why he was gathering this information. 123 00:08:21,010 --> 00:08:22,973 If you notice in the following pages, 124 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,108 "Helen, less nervous today, 125 00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:32,583 "quality low, Diane, apathetic, quality poor. 126 00:08:33,558 --> 00:08:36,000 "Mabel, very pert, general improvement." 127 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,360 And so on with the other members of the herd. 128 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,270 This was a daily reaction of each cow. 129 00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:42,500 - Perhaps the Colonel can tell us 130 00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,493 what he thought the items referred to. 131 00:08:45,788 --> 00:08:48,720 - Well, I guess that's all we have to discuss. 132 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,770 Thank you for coming. 133 00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:53,780 - You know, the colonel's a nice guy really, 134 00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:56,310 but, well, he does have his problems. 135 00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:58,070 - You don't have to apologize for him. 136 00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:58,903 - I'm not. 137 00:08:59,810 --> 00:09:01,160 It's just that he has a job to do, 138 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,385 a difficult one under the circumstances. 139 00:09:03,385 --> 00:09:05,370 - Please, I'd rather not discuss it. 140 00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:08,120 - Okay, I was only trying to. 141 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,540 - Trying to what? 142 00:09:09,540 --> 00:09:10,750 - Oh, I don't know. 143 00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:12,970 I guess I was looking for a way to say I 144 00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,943 well, I understand what you've been through. 145 00:09:14,943 --> 00:09:16,310 - Do you? 146 00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:17,143 - What the heck? 147 00:09:17,143 --> 00:09:18,470 I'm human, we're all human here. 148 00:09:18,470 -->

and the words of comfort. 152 00:09:39,930 --> 00:09:41,910 - I wish I could do more. 153 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:44,090 - I have no hard feelings if that's what you're thinking. 154 00:09:44,090 -->

00:12:41,240 - There must be some interference again. 202 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,130 There's no other answer. 203 00:12:42,130 --> 00:12:42,963 - Try increasing the power. 204 00:12:42,963 --> 00:12:44,490 - Well, sir, we're pushing the atomic plant 205 00:12:44,490 --> 00:12:46,413 as much as we can now. 206 00:12:46,413 --> 00:12:48,120 - We've got to lick this power fade. 207 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,503 Tell them to pour it on. 208 00:12:56,190 --> 00:12:57,023 - Peterson. 209 00:12:57,023 --> 00:12:59,260 - Oh, Pete, this is Cummings, Master Control. 210 00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:02,280 We want you to give us everything you've got. 211 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,940 - But Jeff, we've already exceeded the designed limits. 212 00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:08,293 Every time you take a test, you ask for more power. 213 00:13:08,293 --> 00:13:09,550 If I take any more of those rods out, 214 00:13:09,550 --> 00:13:11,330 the reactor's liable to go out of control. 215 00:13:11,330 --> 00:13:12,960 - Well, take some more out. 216 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,793 We'll have to risk it. 217 00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:15,578 We've got to have more power. 218 00:13:15,578 --> 00:13:17,745 - Okay, it's your funeral. 219 00:13:18,890 --> 00:13:19,840 Mine too, probably. 220 00:13:29,255 --> 00:13:30,340 - Yes, sir? 221 00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:32,633 - Remove 10 more rods from reactor number three. 222 00:13:32,633 --> 00:13:33,600 That's crazy, sir! 223 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,300 - Yeah, I know, but it's an order. 224 00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:24,870 - Power's been boosted, sir, 225 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:26,820 but still can't increase image further. 226 00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:30,290 - It doesn't matter how much we boost 227 00:14:30,290 --> 00:14:34,270 the transmitter power if it doesn't reach the plane. 228 00:14:34,270 --> 00:14:35,810 You know, it's almost as if the power 229 00:14:35,810 --> 00:14:37,520 were being drained off. 230 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,160 - Well, we'll just have to keep working on it. 231 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,160 - Yeah, and in the meantime, what new excuse 232 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,250 do I give the Pentagon? 233 00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:44,540 - This is Green Dog. 234 00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:45,850 This is Green Dog. 235 00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:49,330 Standing by for instructions, over. 236 00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:51,720 - Okay, Green Dog, okay, Green Dog. 237 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,610 Test Baker is completed, return to base. 238 00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:55,190 Repeat, Test Baker is completed. 239 00:14:55,190 --> 00:14:57,020 Return to base, over. 240 00:14:57,020 --> 00:14:58,600 - Roger and out. 241 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,875 - Okay, Sergeant, let's close shop. 242 00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:16,090 - Jacques Griselle's sum of good overshadows the other. 243 00:15:16,090 --> 00:15:19,710 What has he marked up in the ledger for good 244 00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:21,433 as against the ledger for bad? 245 00:15:22,490 --> 00:15:24,465 He was a good and generous man. 246 00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:27,718 His grim service. 247 00:15:35,538 --> 00:15:39,620 And now we consecrate the worldly remains 248 00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:42,610 of our beloved Jacques to the good earth 249 00:15:42,610 --> 00:15:43,868 from whence he sprang. 250 00:15:56,813 --> 00:15:58,040 - Closer and closer. 251 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,128 - Thank goodness the cows are getting used to them. 252 00:16:00,128 --> 00:16:00,960 - Aye. 253 00:16:02,158 --> 00:16:03,460 Are we eating soon? 254 00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:04,633 - It'll be ready in a minute. 255 00:16:04,633 --> 00:16:06,343 I just want to feed the chickens first. 256 00:16:23,585 --> 00:16:25,003 - Amelia, Amelia! 257 00:16:26,615 --> 00:16:27,865 Amelia, Amelia! 258 00:16:28,808 --> 00:16:30,440 What is it, what is it? 259 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,607 What happened? 260 00:16:33,217 --> 00:16:34,713 Amelia! 261 00:16:59,068 --> 00:17:00,860 - Can I see you home, Barbara? 262 00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:01,693 - No, thank you, Mayor. 263 00:17:01,693 --> 00:17:04,310 I think I better go back with Professor Walgate, 264 00:17:04,310 --> 00:17:05,940 keep my mind occupied. 265 00:17:05,940 --> 00:17:07,020 - Are you sure you want to? 266 00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:08,410 My work can wait, you know. 267 00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:10,333 - Say, Mayor! 268 00:17:11,562 --> 00:17:13,020 Mayor, Ben Adams and his wife are dead, 269 00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:14,110 same as young Griselle. 270 00:17:14,110 --> 00:17:14,943 - Where? 271 00:17:14,943 --> 00:17:15,777 - Up at their farm. 272 00:17:15,777 --> 00:17:17,288 - At the edge of the Air Base. 273 00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:28,670 - But Mayor Hawkins, you're taking 274 00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:30,303 a great deal for granted. 275 00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:33,750 There is absolutely no evidence 276 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:36,330 pointing to radioactive fallout 277 00:17:36,330 --> 00:17:39,153 or radioactive contamination of any kind. 278 00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:42,970 Yes, we'll do everything we can, 279 00:17:42,970 --> 00:17:47,653 I assure you, yes, yes, good-bye. 280 00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,490 In addition to our headaches with the Pentagon, 281 00:17:51,490 --> 00:17:52,540 we're now being accused 282 00:17:52,540 --> 00:17:54,730 of killing off the people in this town. 283 00:17:54,730 --> 00:17:55,960 - Perhaps they'd cooperate, sir, 284 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,270 if we could explain more about our antimissile program. 285 00:17:58,270 --> 00:17:59,168 I mean, not the secrets, just the-- 286 00:17:59,168 --> 00:18:01,532 - You know that's impossible, Jeff. 287 00:18:02,365 --> 00:18:03,198 Come in. 288 00:18:03,198 --> 00:18:05,413 - It'll be rough if the town turns against us. 289 00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:10,370 - Sir, we began a complete investigation 290 00:18:10,370 --> 00:18:12,940 of the Adams' farm, but the local constable, 291 00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:15,900 a man named Gibbons, told us to get off the place. 292 00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:17,310 Said it came under his jurisdiction, 293 00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,073 and we had no business being there. 294 00:18:20,093 --> 00:18:22,180 - What kind of cooperation do you call that? 295 00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:23,990 - Well, they're nervous, upset. 296 00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:26,230 We've got to find out how those people died. 297 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:29,060 - Suppose you get all of the Adams' relatives. 298 00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:31,730 See if you can persuade them to let us do an autopsy. 299 00:18:31,730 --> 00:18:33,580 - Yes, sir, I'll try. 300 00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:35,840 - Reassure them, promise them anything. 301 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,913 But get hold of those bodies. 302 00:18:40,330 --> 00:18:43,400 - I made a complete autopsy on both cases. 303 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,820 Called Dr. Bradley in to check my findings, 304 00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:47,343 and our opinions concur. 305 00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:49,313 It's fantastic. 306 00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:53,270 On examination of the skull of Mr. Adams, 307 00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:55,040 I noticed two small holes on the base 308 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,610 of the occipital region here. 309 00:18:57,610 --> 00:18:59,860 They penetrated to the medulla oblongata, 310 00:18:59,860 --> 00:19:02,193 where the spinal cord meets the brain. 311 00:19:03,630 --> 00:19:07,910 I opened the skull to investigate and found this. 312 00:19:07,910 --> 00:19:09,560 - The brain, it's gone! 313 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,143 - Yes, sucked out like an egg through those two holes. 314 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,703 That's not all. 315 00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:20,190 The entire spinal cord is missing. 316 00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:23,020 - But it, it, it's incredible. 317 00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:25,680 - It's as if some mental vampire were at work. 318 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,020 - Where has the brain and spinal cord gone? 319 00:19:28,020 --> 00:19:30,270 - I'm a doctor, Colonel, not a detective. 320 00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,220 There's nothing like this in the books. 321 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,040 Major Cummings had the best explanation so far, 322 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,430 mental vampire. 323 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:38,800 - That's rubbish! 324 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,210 - Possibly some animal-- 325 00:19:40,210 --> 00:19:41,560 - Colonel, Colonel, I've lived 326 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,380 in these backwoods all my life, 327 00:19:43,380 --> 00:19:45,500 and I can assure you there's no animal in these parts 328 00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:48,850 or anywhere else for that matter that could do that. 329 00:19:48,850 --> 00:19:50,660 - Maybe that guy Gibbons was right 330 00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:52,650 about the supernatural. 331 00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:55,480 - Well, whatever the explanation, we'll find it. 332 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,563 We must find it. 333 00:19:57,860 --> 00:19:58,920 In the meantime, Doctor, 334 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,200 I trust I can rely on your discretion. 335 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,670 - Not to tell the mayor or the townspeople? 336 00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:06,790 Of course, I've got an overworked practice 337 00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:07,623 as it is, Colonel. 338 00:20:07,623 --> 00:20:08,457 = Thank you. 339 00:20:09,910 --> 00:20:12,560 Dr. Warren, I want you to get on the phone. 340 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,660 Consult the top medical specialists, 341 00:20:14,660 --> 00:20:16,182 wherever they are. 342 00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:17,015 - Yes, sir. 343 00:20:17,015 --> 00:20:20,220 - Captain, contact the best authorities. 344 00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:21,510 Tell 'em what the problem is. 345 00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:23,600 Find out what they have to say about it. 346 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,350 Jeff, the townsfolk know you. 347 00:20:26,350 --> 00:20:27,490 Talk to 'em. 348 00:20:27,490 --> 00:20:29,550 Check on anything that seems to be extraordinary, 349 00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:30,600 no matter what it is. 350 00:21:17,792 --> 00:21:18,625 - Hello? 351 00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:24,423 Anybody home? 352 00:21:34,517 --> 00:21:36,017 Uh, Miss Griselle? 353 00:21:50,190 --> 00:21:52,273 Oh, Miss Griselle, I, uh. 354 00:21:53,870 --> 00:21:54,703 Great. 355 00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:00,100 Look, um, Miss Griselle, 356 00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:02,910 I, I'm sorry for, um, barging in like that. 357 00:22:02,910 --> 00:22:05,890 But, uh, well, I knocked and there was no answer 358 00:22:05,890 --> 00:22:07,343 and the door was open, so I. 359 00:22:08,675 --> 00:22:10,180 - Make yourself at home, Major. 360 00:22:10,180 --> 00:22:11,013 I'll be out in a minute. 361 00:22:11,013 --> 00:22:12,593 - Uh, thank you. 362 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,090 - Found something interesting? 363 00:22:39,090 --> 00:22:41,443 Oh, uh, I was just um, glancing around-- 364 00:22:41,443 --> 00:22:43,600 - Oh, that's all right, Professor Walgate 365 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,548 was preparing these for publication anyway. 366 00:22:45,548 --> 00:22:46,880 - Oh, are you collating his material? 367 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,220 - I do most of it. 368 00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:50,330 He dictates on this. 369 00:22:50,330 --> 00:22:52,750 I edit the tapes and prepare the draft manuscripts. 370 00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:53,990 - Hmm, some job. 371 00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:55,660 - Mm, but interesting. 372 00:22:55,660 --> 00:22:57,250 - The professor must be quite a guy. 373 00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:59,488 Thought control, sibonetics, all that stuff. 374 00:22:59,488 --> 00:23:00,938 - Mm, that's only half of it. 375 00:23:01,850 --> 00:23:03,810 - Strange, isn't it, finding a man like that 376 00:23:03,810 --> 00:23:06,083 here in, in Winthrop? 377 00:23:07,130 --> 00:23:09,060 - In these uncivilized backwoods, 378 00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:11,590 I think you were going to say. 379 00:23:11,590 --> 00:23:12,700 - Well, I'm afraid so. 380 00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:15,160 - Well, the explanation is quite a simple one. 381 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,720 Professor Walgate had a stroke about five years ago. 382 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,553 He's retired now. 383 00:23:18,553 --> 00:23:19,780 - Well, he still works. 384 00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:21,860 - Mm, and at odd hours. 385 00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:22,693 - Odd hours? 386 00:23:22,693 --> 00:23:24,480 - Mm, he thinks nothing of starting work 387 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,790 at 11:00 at night and working 388 00:23:25,790 --> 00:23:28,330 until the small hours of the morning. 389 00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:29,720 - You know, the mayor mentioned that Walgate 390 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,440 was an authority on psychic phenomena. 391 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,480 Is that still a hobby if his? 392 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,313 - I don't know. 393 00:23:34,313 --> 00:23:36,770 If it is, he'll have Dr. Bradley after him. 394 00:23:36,770 --> 00:23:39,987 Dr. Bradley said no more overwork or excitement. 395 00:23:39,987 --> 00:23:41,375 - What about you? 396 00:23:41,375 --> 00:23:42,468 - What do you mean? 397 00:23:42,468 --> 00:23:44,230 - Well, don't you ever get some time off? 398 00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:46,293 - Well, sometimes. 399 00:23:49,722 --> 00:23:51,950 Hello, Howard, come on in. 400 00:23:51,950 --> 00:23:54,440 Oh, this is Major Cummings from the base. 401 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,023 - Yeah, I know, we've met. 402 00:23:57,987 --> 00:24:00,755 - Well, I guess I'll be running along. 403 00:24:00,755 --> 00:24:01,935 - Well, you've only just been here a few minutes. 404 00:24:01,935 --> 00:24:03,930 - Oh, I was just passing on my way back to the base. 405 00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:05,423 - Quite a roundabout route. 406 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,250 - The new airfield extension covers a lot of ground. 407 00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:11,040 - Too much for Winthrop's liking. 408 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,290 - It must keep you pretty busy. 409 00:24:13,290 --> 00:24:15,540 - Yes, yes, there's a lot to do. 410 00:24:15,540 --> 00:24:17,430 - I'll bet there is. 411 00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:19,080 - Come again? 412 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,440 - You found that G.I. killer yet? 413 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,800 You know, you'd be far better off hunting him down 414 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,110 instead of tomcatting around here. 415 00:24:26,110 --> 00:24:27,082 - I should bust you. 416 00:24:34,077 --> 00:24:35,145 - Cut it out, the both of you! 417 00:24:35,145 --> 00:24:35,978 Come on! 418 00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:40,748 - Sorry. 419 00:24:40,748 --> 00:24:43,003 I hope I didn't break anything. 420 00:24:43,003 --> 00:24:44,500 - I think you'd better leave, Major. 421 00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:46,905 You've done enough damage for one morning. 422 00:25:04,795 --> 00:25:05,628 - Good night, Sergeant. 423 00:25:05,628 --> 00:25:07,360 - Oh, night, Sergeant. 424 00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:10,432 - When you tell me you haven't known me long enough. 425 00:25:10,432 --> 00:25:12,990 Oh, yeah, okay. 426 00:25:12,990 --> 00:25:14,190 Okay, I'll see ya later. 427 00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:16,840 How do you like that? 428 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,980 She says we haven't been properly introduced. 429 00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:20,480 And she's a nurse. 430 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,140 - I hope you made out better with the museums and stuff. 431 00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:22,973 - No, not a chance. 432 00:25:22,973 --> 00:25:23,807 They all think I'm crazy. 433 00:25:23,807 --> 00:25:24,768 How'd you make out? 434 00:25:24,768 --> 00:25:25,600 - Listen now, we've got work to do. 435 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,720 - Uh-uh, you're the guy who works after five, 436 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,553 remember, not me. 437 00:25:28,553 --> 00:25:29,630 - Now wait a minute, this is serious. 438 00:25:29,630 --> 00:25:31,100 I want you to get me all the information 439 00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:32,800 you can on a Professor Walgate. 440 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,540 Everything he's ever written, books, articles, everything. 441 00:26:10,362 --> 00:26:11,195 - Now don't worry. 442 00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:12,970 I'll have this guy in junk by tomorrow night. 443 00:26:12,970 --> 00:26:14,228 So long, Mayor. 444 00:28:13,740 --> 00:28:15,053 - All right, fellas, all right now. 445 00:28:15,053 --> 00:28:17,140 Let's stop this nonsense. 446 00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:20,650 No fancy atomic radiation caused these deaths. 447 00:28:20,650 --> 00:28:23,040 - What about the mayor, what killed him? 448 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:23,990 - Who are you trying to fool, Gibbons? 449 00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:25,237 It's the atomic fallout. 450 00:28:25,237 --> 00:28:26,453 - Yeah! - We won't be quiet! 451 00:28:26,453 --> 00:28:29,210 - Hold it, hold it, fellas, hold it! 452 00:28:29,210 --> 00:28:30,918 Someone murdered the mayor. 453 00:28:30,918 --> 00:28:33,280 The same maniac that killed Jacques Griselle, 454 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,010 Ben Adams, and his wife. 455 00:28:35,010 --> 00:28:35,843 All right, 456 00:28:35,843 --> 00:28:36,675 Gibbons, where is he? 457 00:28:36,675 --> 00:28:38,030 - If you'll shut up, I'll tell you. 458 00:28:38,030 --> 00:28:40,510 - Quiet there, let him talk. 459 00:28:40,510 --> 00:28:43,130 - Now, the fella we're after is out there in the woods. 460 00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:46,090 Probably some Air Base -G. -I that's gone wild. 461 00:28:46,090 --> 00:28:48,040 Now, he can't move far if we move fast 462 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,188 and I say let's stop jabbering and get after him! 463 00:28:50,188 --> 00:28:51,027 - Quiet, let's get him! 464 00:28:51,027 --> 00:28:52,570 - All right, now, let's go! 465 00:29:07,938 --> 00:29:10,855 Right, fellas, let's find this guy. 466 00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:29,595 Keep a sharp lookout, okay? 467 00:29:29,595 --> 00:29:32,345 - Yeah, Gibbons. - Okay, let's go. 468 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,683 - Excuse me, sir, this just came in from the FBI. 469 00:30:14,018 --> 00:30:16,768 - Hmm, "Walgate, brilliant scientist, 470 00:30:16,768 --> 00:30:19,190 "recluse, considered highly eccentric." 471 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:20,930 - That old guy Walgate sounds like a cross 472 00:30:20,930 --> 00:30:22,433 between Einstein and Robinson Crusoe, sir. 473 00:30:22,433 --> 00:30:24,673 - It gets more interesting all the time. 474 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,700 Okay, Sergeant, I'm going out for a while. 475 00:31:34,010 --> 00:31:35,113 Well, hello. 476 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:38,040 Nice to see you again. 477 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,250 - I'm very busy. 478 00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:41,150 - Well, I'd like to see the professor. 479 00:31:42,450 --> 00:31:44,448 - Oh, yes, of course. 480 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,473 - Thank you. 481 00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:49,973 - Come in. 482 00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:53,570 - Professor Walgate, Major Cummings 483 00:31:53,570 --> 00:31:54,870 from the Air Base to see you. 484 00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:57,410 - Sorry to barge in like this, Professor. 485 00:31:57,410 --> 00:32:00,730 - Not at all, these days I welcome any excuse 486 00:32:00,730 --> 00:32:02,580 to stop work, isn't that so, Barbara? 487 00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:05,820 Please take a chair, Major. 488 00:32:05,820 --> 00:32:06,653 - Oh, thank you. 489 00:32:07,708 --> 00:32:10,810 I came to see you about this business with the mayor. 490 00:32:10,810 --> 00:32:13,700 - Oh, terrible tragedy, really terrible. 491 00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:14,533 - 'Cause I need your help, Professor. 492 00:32:14,533 --> 00:32:16,610 - Anything you say, just name it. 493 00:32:16,610 --> 00:32:19,370 - Well, this is the fourth death in the space of a few days. 494 00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:21,740 Not only are they terrible tragedies in themselves, 495 00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:24,210 but they're turning the townsfolk against us at the base. 496 00:32:24,210 --> 00:32:26,170 - It's just ignorance, my dear fellow. 497 00:32:26,170 --> 00:32:28,700 These people are simple, one might say, 498 00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:30,323 narrow in their outlook. 499 00:32:30,323 --> 00:32:33,840 Of course, the very secrecy of your activities doesn't help, 500 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,843 this development of radar boosted by atomic power. 501 00:32:37,690 --> 00:32:38,770 - What gave you that idea, sir? 502 00:32:38,770 --> 00:32:41,213 - Well, there was a piece in the "Atoms Journal" 503 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,230 about your work on reactors. 504 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:46,270 It wasn't a year ago that I read somewhere 505 00:32:46,270 --> 00:32:49,505 about the new radar patents. 506 00:32:49,505 --> 00:32:51,470 Wasn't this territory's idea for that kind of work, 507 00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:52,970 I put two and two together. 508 00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:53,923 - And made five? 509 00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:56,560 - Shall we say four and a half? 510 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,870 But you don't have to worry, Major. 511 00:32:57,870 --> 00:33:00,140 What I surmise I keep to myself. 512 00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:01,590 - Well, I hope so, sir. 513 00:33:01,590 --> 00:33:03,830 - Let me offer you a drink, whiskey? 514 00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:05,823 - Uh, yes, please, um, straight. 515 00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:08,733 - Barbara? 516 00:33:08,733 --> 00:33:10,710 - Uh, no, thank you, Professor. 517 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:12,620 I'll have the last chapter finished tomorrow. 518 00:33:12,620 --> 00:33:14,413 - That's fine, that's real progress. 519 00:33:14,413 --> 00:33:16,720 I've already begun on volume two. 520 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,070 - My mind is fairly buzzing 521 00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:20,550 with these strange words. 522 00:33:20,550 --> 00:33:23,260 - Just a few elementary ideas on the subject, Major. 523 00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:26,220 Not so advanced as present-day developments. 524 00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:28,720 - I'll transcribe these while you talk, excuse me. 525 00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:34,710 - That business with her brother, 526 00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:36,950 she was devoted to him. 527 00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:38,463 - Yes, it was a tough break. 528 00:33:39,780 --> 00:33:41,730 - I don't want to seem morbid, 529 00:33:43,508 --> 00:33:46,850 but did you see his face after he died? 530 00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:47,770 - Yes. 531 00:33:47,770 --> 00:33:49,500 - What was it like? 532 00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:51,463 I have a reason for asking. 533 00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:56,620 - Well, it was an expression of complete horror. 534 00:33:56,620 --> 00:34:00,343 Fright, almost insane, I guess. 535 00:34:07,753 --> 00:34:08,585 - What is it? 536 00:34:08,585 --> 00:34:09,667 - Did you get him? - What gives? 537 00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:11,173 - Okay, fellas, okay, okay. 538 00:34:11,173 --> 00:34:12,410 - Was it him? 539 00:34:12,410 --> 00:34:14,503 - No, just a false alarm, that's all. 540 00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:16,930 - As you said yourself, sir, 541 00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:19,283 the people here are simple and superstitious. 542 00:34:20,170 --> 00:34:21,113 Maybe they're not so wrong after all. 543 00:34:21,113 --> 00:34:22,860 - What do you mean? 544 00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:25,870 - Mm, about the supernatural. 545 00:34:25,870 --> 00:34:28,380 Something unreal, something never seen by anyone before. 546 00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:29,370 - I can't accept that. 547 00:34:29,370 --> 00:34:31,880 I've always disproved such theories. 548 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,080 - What is it, then? 549 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,680 - Nothing supernatural, I'm sure. 550 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,930 I can't believe that, I'm a scientist. 551 00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:38,970 - You've made a study of psychic phenomena, haven't you? 552 00:34:38,970 --> 00:34:41,953 - I tell you, it can't be that, it can't be! 553 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,080 - Professor, you know what Dr. Bradley said. 554 00:34:45,930 --> 00:34:49,683 Was it absolutely necessary to upset the professor? 555 00:34:49,683 --> 00:34:51,958 - It's nothing, nothing, Barbara. 556 00:34:51,958 --> 00:34:55,550 The Major and I were just having a quiet talk, I got dizzy. 557 00:34:55,550 --> 00:34:58,240 - Well, your quiet little talk is over, Major. 558 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:00,450 First Howard Gibbons, now the professor. 559 00:35:00,450 --> 00:35:02,450 Do you have to go around making trouble? 560 00:35:03,450 --> 00:35:04,283 - You really believe that, don't you? 561 00:35:04,283 --> 00:35:06,470 - Well, I can believe my eyes. 562 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:08,030 - I'm sorry, Professor, I didn't mean to disturb you. 563 00:35:08,030 --> 00:35:09,610 - No, not at all. 564 00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:10,640 Forgive me if I don't rise. 565 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,030 - Yes, certainly. 566 00:35:12,030 --> 00:35:12,978 Excuse me. 567 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,540 - It's me, it's Frank! 568 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,290 - Have you finished searching the quarry yet? 569 00:35:38,290 --> 00:35:39,470 - Yeah, and the men are tired. 570 00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:40,510 They wanna go home. 571 00:35:40,510 --> 00:35:41,770 - But they can't quit now! 572 00:35:41,770 --> 00:35:43,300 We've almost reached the Air Base. 573 00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:44,133 - Well, you better tell 'em. 574 00:35:44,133 --> 00:35:45,458 They won't listen to me. 575 00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:48,510 - Okay, fellas, you spread out again. 576 00:35:48,510 --> 00:35:50,323 We'll join up at the Adams' fence. 577 00:36:01,220 --> 00:36:02,370 Say, you hear something? 578 00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:04,423 - Yeah, funny sound. 579 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,490 - You take that path, and I'll take this one. 580 00:36:09,490 --> 00:36:11,160 If you see anything, shout. 581 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,340 - You said not to let each other out of sight. 582 00:36:13,340 --> 00:36:15,560 - These paths run almost parallel to each other. 583 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,120 We'll meet up a ways anyway. 584 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,397 - The dawn's beginning to come up. 585 00:36:18,397 --> 00:36:20,140 Let's wait a little, we'll see better then. 586 00:36:20,140 --> 00:36:22,490 - Oh, we're close to the end, now come on, boy. 587 00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,280 Go on, fella, you take that way. 588 00:37:19,778 --> 00:37:22,363 - Gibbons, Gibbons! 589 00:37:26,238 --> 00:37:27,405 Where are you? 590 00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:30,920 Gibbons! 591 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,428 Where the heck are you? 592 00:37:33,528 --> 00:37:34,360 Gibbons! 593 00:37:41,785 --> 00:37:44,452 Gibbons, Gibbons, where are you? 594 00:37:49,333 --> 00:37:50,750 Gibbons, Gibbons! 595 00:37:54,045 --> 00:37:54,878 Gibbons! 596 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,270 - I think you should go home, Mrs. Gibbons. 597 00:38:08,270 --> 00:38:10,750 - No, I'm all right, Doctor. 598 00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:12,360 I'll wait here for my boy. 599 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,860 - Don't worry, we'll find him. 600 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,050 - Oh, where's Howard, where is he? 601 00:38:20,050 --> 00:38:21,200 - We've searched everywhere. 602 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,820 - Yeah, he just disappeared. 603 00:38:22,820 --> 00:38:25,950 - Oh, I don't believe it, he must be there. 604 00:38:25,950 --> 00:38:27,040 I'm gonna look for him myself. 605 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,020 - You can't go in the woods alone. 606 00:38:29,020 --> 00:38:30,550 - Oh, but I gotta find him. 607 00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:32,433 I've got to find my boy! 608 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:37,770 - Oh, you'd better see that she gets home. 609 00:38:37,770 --> 00:38:39,790 Get your wife to look after her. 610 00:38:39,790 --> 00:38:41,310 Have you searched the woods thoroughly? 611 00:38:41,310 --> 00:38:42,290 - We kept calling for him. 612 00:38:42,290 --> 00:38:43,690 If Gibbons is out there and still alive, 613 00:38:43,690 --> 00:38:44,523 he would've heard us. 614 00:38:44,523 --> 00:38:46,940 - No point in searching any more. 615 00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:48,560 I reckon we ought to call a council meeting 616 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,180 and decide what we're going to do. 617 00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:51,812 - Yeah, what about it, Bradley? 618 00:38:51,812 --> 00:38:53,760 - Well, let's get Melville. 619 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,320 He's the Deputy Mayor. 620 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,570 I suppose it's up to him. 621 00:39:01,103 --> 00:39:02,450 - Oh, that's a good idea. 622 00:39:02,450 --> 00:39:03,590 Don't you think? 623 00:39:03,590 --> 00:39:04,423 - Yeah. 624 00:39:04,423 --> 00:39:05,673 - Good evening. 625 00:39:07,608 --> 00:39:09,900 Everyone quiet, please. 626 00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:11,960 Now, you all know why we're here. 627 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,150 We've had four deaths, 628 00:39:13,150 --> 00:39:15,490 and now our constable has disappeared. 629 00:39:15,490 --> 00:39:17,800 The cause of these deaths is still unknown. 630 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,468 Everybody seems to have their own ideas, 631 00:39:19,468 --> 00:39:22,410 and they all seem connected with the new Air Base. 632 00:39:22,410 --> 00:39:23,518 - Now you're talking. 633 00:39:23,518 --> 00:39:25,580 - For this reason, I've asked Major Cummings 634 00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:27,510 to this meeting, he's gonna help us 635 00:39:27,510 --> 00:39:29,810 in any way he possibly can. 636 00:39:29,810 --> 00:39:32,500 That goes for his commanding officer, Colonel Butler, 637 00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:34,960 who is very concerned about what's happened. 638 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:35,870 - Cut out the soft soap, Melville. 639 00:39:35,870 --> 00:39:37,660 Let's get down to brass tacks. 640 00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:40,260 - All I know is, before this Air Base came here, 641 00:39:40,260 --> 00:39:44,210 we were doing fine, now you and these Air Force fellows 642 00:39:44,210 --> 00:39:47,300 tell us that it's not radiation at all. 643 00:39:47,300 --> 00:39:48,610 Well, maybe you're right at that. 644 00:39:48,610 --> 00:39:50,220 I don't know. 645 00:39:50,220 --> 00:39:52,520 But forgetting about the deaths, 646 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,360 how do you explain the change in quality 647 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,490 of the cows' milk, even the quantity? 648 00:39:56,490 --> 00:39:58,110 Let the major tell me about that. 649 00:39:58,110 --> 00:39:59,083 - Go ahead, Major. 650 00:40:00,810 --> 00:40:02,480 - Well, no one can make anyone believe something 651 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,290 if they don't want to believe it. 652 00:40:04,290 --> 00:40:06,070 But it has been positively proven that there is 653 00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,250 no radiation affecting anyone in Winthrop. 654 00:40:08,250 --> 00:40:09,083 - Mm. 655 00:40:09,083 --> 00:40:10,033 - Not even the cows. 656 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,880 As for the milk, I don't know enough about farming, 657 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,430 but I would assume-- - Griselle did. 658 00:40:14,430 --> 00:40:15,490 He knew his business. 659 00:40:15,490 --> 00:40:17,120 - And so do I. 660 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,270 It was the noise of the jets that did it, nothing more. 661 00:40:20,270 --> 00:40:21,890 It frightened the herd. 662 00:40:21,890 --> 00:40:24,770 But I can tell you that the herd is normal again. 663 00:40:24,770 --> 00:40:25,920 They've got used to it. 664 00:40:28,370 --> 00:40:29,203 - Thank you. 665 00:40:31,940 --> 00:40:34,460 As for the deaths, gentlemen, we are equally 666 00:40:34,460 --> 00:40:37,210 at a loss to give an answer, and equally disturbed. 667 00:40:37,210 --> 00:40:40,700 Now, there's been some talk of a mad G.I. on the prowl. 668 00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:42,870 Well this, I can assure you, is not true. 669 00:40:42,870 --> 00:40:45,400 We've checked and rechecked our personnel. 670 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,450 We know how you feel, but we're trying to protect 671 00:40:48,450 --> 00:40:50,680 our countries from a guided missile attack. 672 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,610 If you'd only help us instead of fighting us. 673 00:40:53,610 --> 00:40:56,340 - Ah, it's all a waste of time. 674 00:40:56,340 --> 00:40:57,540 - Let's get rid of the base. 675 00:40:57,540 --> 00:40:58,960 We had no trouble before they came here. 676 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,712 We'll have no trouble after they leave. 677 00:41:00,712 --> 00:41:01,643 - Well, I think that's rather a foolish-- 678 00:41:12,665 --> 00:41:13,923 - Gibbons! 679 00:41:26,660 --> 00:41:28,020 - It was terrible, Jeff. 680 00:41:28,020 --> 00:41:29,723 What could have happened to him? 681 00:41:29,723 --> 00:41:31,033 - I don't know. 682 00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:33,230 - Would you like a drink? 683 00:41:33,230 --> 00:41:34,403 - No, no, thanks. 684 00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:39,960 Barbara, I think Professor Walgate 685 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,520 is involved in these deaths. 686 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:42,370 - I don't understand. 687 00:41:42,370 --> 00:41:45,070 - Neither do I, maybe it's just a hunch, 688 00:41:45,070 --> 00:41:48,420 but his background, his training. 689 00:41:48,420 --> 00:41:49,253 - Oh, Jeff! 690 00:41:49,253 --> 00:41:51,293 - Look, Barbara, I've checked on Walgate. 691 00:41:53,595 --> 00:41:57,330 This research of his, somehow I think it ties in 692 00:41:57,330 --> 00:41:58,478 with what's happened in Winthrop. 693 00:41:58,478 --> 00:42:00,130 - Oh, that's crazy. 694 00:42:00,130 --> 00:42:00,963 - Is it? 695 00:42:02,390 --> 00:42:03,640 Mind if I borrow this? 696 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:04,668 - Where are you going? 697 00:42:04,668 --> 00:42:06,687 - I'd like to take a look at your cemetery. 698 00:44:17,180 --> 00:44:18,013 Hey! 699 00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:20,870 Hey, anybody out there? 700 00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:22,140 I'm locked in here! 701 00:44:23,020 --> 00:44:23,853 Hey, hey! 702 00:45:53,810 --> 00:45:55,532 - Any word yet from Major Cummings? 703 00:45:55,532 --> 00:45:56,670 - Not a thing yet, sir. 704 00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:58,550 - Well, keep trying. 705 00:45:58,550 --> 00:45:59,600 - Hello? 706 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,110 - Hello, Miss Griselle, this is Captain Chester. 707 00:46:02,110 --> 00:46:04,240 I've been trying to locate Major Cummings. 708 00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:05,840 Well, he left here about 7:30. 709 00:46:06,738 --> 00:46:08,100 - Well, did he say where he was going? 710 00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:10,198 - Yes, he borrowed a flashlight from me 711 00:46:10,198 --> 00:46:13,170 and said something about going to the cemetery. 712 00:46:13,170 --> 00:46:15,430 - Look, I don't like the sound of all this. 713 00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:17,583 You wait there, I'll be over right away. 714 00:47:01,013 --> 00:47:02,830 Are you sure this is the place? 715 00:47:02,830 --> 00:47:04,530 - Oh, this is the place all right. 716 00:47:12,247 --> 00:47:13,185 Hey, listen. 717 00:47:13,185 --> 00:47:14,018 - Huh? 718 00:47:14,018 --> 00:47:15,200 - Listen. 719 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,198 - I don't hear anything. 720 00:47:17,198 --> 00:47:18,438 Now wait a minute. 721 00:47:19,802 --> 00:47:20,945 Over this way. 722 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,718 There's someone inside all right. 723 00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:29,110 It's jammed, here, hold this. 724 00:47:29,110 --> 00:47:30,550 - Oh, hurry, come on! 725 00:47:30,550 --> 00:47:33,293 - Hold the flashlight closer. 726 00:47:33,293 --> 00:47:36,460 It's coming. 727 00:47:37,660 --> 00:47:38,680 Here he is! 728 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,343 - Jeff, Jeff! 729 00:47:42,010 --> 00:47:42,843 - There's no air in here. 730 00:47:42,843 --> 00:47:44,130 Keep the door open. 731 00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:45,570 He'll be all right, now just relax. 732 00:47:45,570 --> 00:47:47,262 - Jeff, Jeff, it's me, Barbara. 733 00:47:47,262 --> 00:47:48,625 Are you all right? 734 00:47:48,625 --> 00:47:49,458 - Barbara. 735 00:47:49,458 --> 00:47:51,440 - Yeah, you're not dreaming, buddy, it's Barbara. 736 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,010 - I was locked in, no air, and I. 737 00:47:53,010 --> 00:47:53,843 - Take it easy now. 738 00:47:53,843 --> 00:47:54,677 - We need-- - Come on, we'll get going, 739 00:47:54,677 --> 00:47:55,747 we'll get you back 740 00:47:55,747 --> 00:47:56,580 to the base. - Wait, 741 00:47:56,580 --> 00:47:57,570 just got under his arm. 742 00:47:57,570 --> 00:47:59,075 - No, I, I gotta see Walgate. 743 00:47:59,075 --> 00:48:00,370 - You're in no shape to see anybody. 744 00:48:00,370 --> 00:48:02,845 - I've got to see Walgate. 745 00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:06,773 - Come in. 746 00:48:09,055 --> 00:48:11,110 - Good evening. 747 00:48:11,110 --> 00:48:13,650 - Major Cummings, oh, Barbara. 748 00:48:13,650 --> 00:48:15,410 - It's very late, I hope you don't mind, sir. 749 00:48:15,410 --> 00:48:17,360 - Oh, on the contrary, I'm glad to see you. 750 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,730 Sit down, won't you? 751 00:48:18,730 --> 00:48:21,330 - We, uh, we missed you at the town council meeting. 752 00:48:22,420 --> 00:48:24,160 - I saw Gibbons afterwards. 753 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,060 His mind was gone completely mad. 754 00:48:26,060 --> 00:48:27,200 It was dreadful. 755 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,890 - I was hoping maybe you could help us, sir. 756 00:48:28,890 --> 00:48:31,060 - Me, how, how could I help you? 757 00:48:31,060 --> 00:48:32,923 - You're an atomic expert. 758 00:48:32,923 --> 00:48:33,757 - Who told you that? 759 00:48:33,757 --> 00:48:35,263 - Our files in Washington. 760 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,100 - Have you been checking on me? 761 00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:39,060 - Yes. 762 00:48:39,060 --> 00:48:40,463 - Oh. 763 00:48:40,463 --> 00:48:41,770 - Here, would you, um, 764 00:48:41,770 --> 00:48:42,750 would you care for a cigarette, Professor? 765 00:48:42,750 --> 00:48:44,683 - No, thanks, I'm attached to my pipe. 766 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,030 - Uh, Professor, I read one of your books 767 00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:51,530 on the materialization of thought. 768 00:48:51,530 --> 00:48:52,850 You denied that it was possible, 769 00:48:52,850 --> 00:48:54,400 but the thought was intriguing. 770 00:48:55,382 --> 00:48:57,350 Yes, if it could be done, why, 771 00:48:57,350 --> 00:48:59,910 man could create power by thought. 772 00:48:59,910 --> 00:49:02,230 He could will a door to open. 773 00:49:02,230 --> 00:49:03,300 He could perform useful work 774 00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:05,010 without moving from this chair. 775 00:49:05,010 --> 00:49:05,940 Practically anything. 776 00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:09,680 - I said it was impossible, didn't I? 777 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:10,950 - Is it? 778 00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:12,750 Perhaps with atomic power it could be done. 779 00:49:12,750 --> 00:49:15,510 - Oh, please, I'm tired and sick. 780 00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:17,180 Stop badgering me, please. 781 00:49:17,180 --> 00:49:18,848 - I will if you'll answer me a few questions. 782 00:49:18,848 --> 00:49:19,682 - Jeff! 783 00:49:19,682 --> 00:49:21,730 - I'm sorry, but I've got to go on. 784 00:49:21,730 --> 00:49:24,013 What were you doing in the cemetery tonight, Professor? 785 00:49:26,665 --> 00:49:28,820 Were you, um, looking for this? 786 00:49:33,780 --> 00:49:35,560 - I didn't mean to shut you in, 787 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:36,773 close the door on you. 788 00:49:37,967 --> 00:49:39,500 I was frightened when I heard you. 789 00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:41,950 I only wanted time to get away. 790 00:49:41,950 --> 00:49:46,713 I only realized later that you might be shut, trapped. 791 00:49:47,970 --> 00:49:50,450 I called Barbara, but she-- - If she hadn't rescued me, 792 00:49:50,450 --> 00:49:51,483 I wouldn't be alive. 793 00:49:51,483 --> 00:49:52,660 - Jeff! 794 00:49:52,660 --> 00:49:54,610 - What were you doing there, Professor? 795 00:49:56,190 --> 00:49:59,120 - I had to examine the mayor's body. 796 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,255 I had to find out the truth. 797 00:50:05,162 --> 00:50:08,388 - What was that? 798 00:50:08,388 --> 00:50:09,220 - Professor, 799 00:50:09,220 --> 00:50:10,053 what's the matter? - Professor, 800 00:50:10,053 --> 00:50:10,887 what's the matter? 801 00:50:10,887 --> 00:50:11,720 - Here, sit back. 802 00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:12,623 - Professor, can you hear me? 803 00:50:14,580 --> 00:50:16,483 - It's a terrible story. 804 00:50:17,578 --> 00:50:20,733 Shut down your atomic plant radar. 805 00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:23,080 - Call Dr. Bradley right away. 806 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,513 I'm going back to the base. 807 00:50:25,660 --> 00:50:28,293 - Jeff, be careful. 808 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:30,610 I'm afraid. 809 00:50:30,610 --> 00:50:31,863 - I'll be back right away. 810 00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:35,750 I'd try that again when I have more time. 811 00:50:40,900 --> 00:50:43,340 - But the thing's fantastic. 812 00:50:43,340 --> 00:50:45,720 You can't shut down a whole atomic power plant 813 00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:46,910 on such a wild theory. 814 00:50:46,910 --> 00:50:48,290 - Oh, you can't deny the facts, sir. 815 00:50:48,290 --> 00:50:50,320 Griselle, the Adams' couple, the mayor. 816 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,190 They all died a few minutes 817 00:50:51,190 --> 00:50:52,660 after the peak of our radar tests, 818 00:50:52,660 --> 00:50:54,668 right after our atomic plant was operating under full power. 819 00:50:54,668 --> 00:50:58,210 - But it'll take months to get the plant operating again. 820 00:50:58,210 --> 00:50:59,043 - Well, that's better than risking 821 00:50:59,043 --> 00:51:01,133 any more lives or madmen like Gibbons. 822 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,283 - Okay, let's put it on ice. 823 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,830 - How soon will you be ready, Pete? 824 00:51:12,830 --> 00:51:14,730 - We'll shut her down in five minutes. 825 00:51:17,050 --> 00:51:19,110 - The rods are all smashed! 826 00:51:19,110 --> 00:51:19,943 - What happened? 827 00:51:19,943 --> 00:51:21,490 - I don't know, we just found the all broken. 828 00:51:21,490 --> 00:51:22,613 - We'll never be able to shut her down now. 829 00:51:22,613 --> 00:51:23,750 - What about spares? 830 00:51:23,750 --> 00:51:24,823 - You know how we put this place together, Jeff. 831 00:51:24,823 --> 00:51:27,000 We have no extras of anything. 832 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:27,833 - Well, there must be some way 833 00:51:27,833 --> 00:51:28,990 of controlling the reaction. 834 00:51:28,990 --> 00:51:30,960 - Without the rods, we don't stand a chance. 835 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,990 - The nearest supply would be at the Hanford Works 836 00:51:32,990 --> 00:51:34,150 on the Columbia River. 837 00:51:34,150 --> 00:51:35,790 How soon can we get a shipment flown in here? 838 00:51:35,790 --> 00:51:37,940 - Four to six hours if you phone right now. 839 00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:41,083 - Get me the Hanford Works 840 00:51:41,083 --> 00:51:42,640 on the Columbia River right away. 841 00:51:47,370 --> 00:51:49,000 - Well, Doc, how is he? 842 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,270 - Oh, there's no question. 843 00:51:50,270 --> 00:51:53,670 It's another attack, a little more serious than the last. 844 00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:54,730 - He'll be all right? 845 00:51:54,730 --> 00:51:56,530 - Oh, sure, sure, sure. 846 00:51:56,530 --> 00:51:57,973 See he gets plenty of rest. 847 00:51:59,100 --> 00:52:01,220 Call me if there's any change. 848 00:52:01,220 --> 00:52:03,730 For goodness sake, get somebody out here to stay with you. 849 00:52:03,730 --> 00:52:06,440 - Jeff, Major Cummings said he'll be back soon. 850 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,620 - Jeff, Major Cummings? 851 00:52:09,620 --> 00:52:12,830 Mm-hmm. 852 00:52:12,830 --> 00:52:15,270 - Obviously, those rods were destroyed. 853 00:52:15,270 --> 00:52:17,850 How and for what reason we don't know. 854 00:52:17,850 --> 00:52:20,690 But we do know that we're in trouble up here. 855 00:52:20,690 --> 00:52:21,770 Serious trouble. 856 00:52:25,010 --> 00:52:28,220 Hello, yes, put her through. 857 00:52:28,220 --> 00:52:30,170 It's for you, Jeff, Barbara Griselle. 858 00:52:30,170 --> 00:52:31,993 - Thank you, hello, Barbara. 859 00:52:34,110 --> 00:52:36,000 Okay, good, we'll be right over. 860 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:36,833 Right, bye. 861 00:52:38,490 --> 00:52:39,610 Walgate's regained consciousness. 862 00:52:39,610 --> 00:52:41,120 I think we better get over there right away, sir. 863 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:41,953 - Right. 864 00:52:41,953 --> 00:52:43,350 - Al, we better get some sidearms. 865 00:52:43,350 --> 00:52:44,183 - Check. 866 00:52:44,183 --> 00:52:47,570 - Kasper, get hold of Dr. Bradley and Melville right away. 867 00:52:47,570 --> 00:52:49,370 Have 'em meet us at Walgate's house. 868 00:52:50,540 --> 00:52:53,970 - I should feel better after I've told you everything. 869 00:52:53,970 --> 00:52:57,180 Maybe you can help me to clear up this ghastly business. 870 00:52:57,180 --> 00:52:59,340 But no matter what you do to me, 871 00:52:59,340 --> 00:53:03,003 remember those horrible deaths were beyond my control. 872 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:04,990 - Go on, Professor. 873 00:53:05,870 --> 00:53:09,740 - For many years now, I have been working 874 00:53:09,740 --> 00:53:13,645 on a theory of thought materialization. 875 00:53:13,645 --> 00:53:15,698 The entire apparatus to give it 876 00:53:15,698 --> 00:53:20,010 the required boost is in my laboratory. 877 00:53:20,010 --> 00:53:20,843 - Laboratory? 878 00:53:22,108 --> 00:53:23,590 I didn't know you had one. 879 00:53:23,590 --> 00:53:26,820 - There are many things you didn't know, my child. 880 00:53:26,820 --> 00:53:29,730 If you had, you'd never have come here again. 881 00:53:29,730 --> 00:53:32,538 You can see it later. 882 00:53:32,538 --> 00:53:37,360 I knew I could never succeed on the principles of telepathy. 883 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:41,480 I needed to stimulate my brain 884 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,440 to the extent that I could detach thought 885 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:49,440 from my conscious, to give it a separate entity of its own. 886 00:53:51,930 --> 00:53:55,660 I concentrated on the simplest experiment, 887 00:53:55,660 --> 00:53:57,733 to turn the page of a book. 888 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,740 I designed an instrument to create 889 00:54:01,740 --> 00:54:05,150 a sudden and powerful electrical boost 890 00:54:05,150 --> 00:54:07,390 to help me free my thought. 891 00:54:09,978 --> 00:54:13,340 But each application of the electric charge 892 00:54:13,340 --> 00:54:18,340 created a shock almost equal to electrocution. 893 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:19,803 It made me ill. 894 00:54:21,780 --> 00:54:24,460 Dr. Bradley diagnosed exhaustion. 895 00:54:24,460 --> 00:54:27,570 He thought my illness was caused by overwork 896 00:54:27,570 --> 00:54:30,343 in getting my papers ready for publication. 897 00:54:31,470 --> 00:54:33,923 He introduced me to Barbara Griselle. 898 00:54:35,230 --> 00:54:38,960 With Barbara as my secretary, I was able 899 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:43,200 to satisfy my publisher and continue my experiments 900 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,083 to materialize thought. 901 00:54:46,750 --> 00:54:51,450 For a long time, I persisted in this one experiment 902 00:54:51,450 --> 00:54:54,188 without success until one night. 903 00:55:09,628 --> 00:55:11,630 The lightning, in striking the house, 904 00:55:11,630 --> 00:55:14,953 gave my instruments a sudden violent charge of power. 905 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,360 And my thought was free, free to turn the page of a book. 906 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,300 I altered the design of my equipment 907 00:55:25,300 --> 00:55:28,645 to generate these violent power boosts. 908 00:55:28,645 --> 00:55:30,660 But it was very dangerous, 909 00:55:30,660 --> 00:55:33,220 and I could only undergo each experiment 910 00:55:33,220 --> 00:55:35,900 after a long period of rest. 911 00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:38,560 Whenever I felt well enough to absorb the shock, 912 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,293 I found no difficulty in moving small objects. 913 00:55:43,710 --> 00:55:46,590 Eventually, I developed a certain tolerance 914 00:55:46,590 --> 00:55:49,250 to the high voltages I used. 915 00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:52,990 But what I really needed for regular experiments was 916 00:55:52,990 --> 00:55:57,660 a new form of power, something that was smoother, 917 00:55:57,660 --> 00:55:59,240 something that would flow through 918 00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:01,943 my brain without causing collapse. 919 00:56:03,770 --> 00:56:06,060 The new atomic plant at the Air Base 920 00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:08,580 provided me with this power. 921 00:56:08,580 --> 00:56:12,080 I devised additional apparatus that enabled me 922 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,870 to divert a portion of the atomic power 923 00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:18,230 that was radiating between the ground station 924 00:56:18,230 --> 00:56:21,803 and the radar aircraft circling 40,000 feet above. 925 00:56:23,350 --> 00:56:25,840 It was power which I could control, 926 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,400 and I learned how to amplify 927 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,193 my thoughts without hurting myself. 928 00:56:30,530 --> 00:56:32,932 I was able to detach my thoughts 929 00:56:32,932 --> 00:56:34,722 and allow them to work on their own. 930 00:56:39,550 --> 00:56:43,780 I began to devise a being into which the thought, 931 00:56:43,780 --> 00:56:46,440 once released, could enter and preserve itself 932 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:47,623 for all humanity. 933 00:56:48,490 --> 00:56:50,300 I envisaged something akin 934 00:56:50,300 --> 00:56:53,880 to the human brain with life and mobility, 935 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,223 but without the limitations of man's body. 936 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,353 I concentrated my entire thought on its creation. 937 00:57:03,310 --> 00:57:04,730 I succeeded! 938 00:57:04,730 --> 00:57:06,880 But, like thought itself, it was invisible. 939 00:57:13,050 --> 00:57:14,960 That night I entered my laboratory 940 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,910 to take advantage of a radar test 941 00:57:17,910 --> 00:57:21,170 only to find the place in shambles, 942 00:57:21,170 --> 00:57:23,903 my equipment wrecked beyond repair. 943 00:57:25,730 --> 00:57:27,880 All of my notes about its creation 944 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,023 and how I thought it could be controlled were destroyed. 945 00:57:32,580 --> 00:57:36,060 I knew now that I had created a fiend. 946 00:57:36,060 --> 00:57:38,450 There was no other explanation. 947 00:57:38,450 --> 00:57:41,830 I was helpless, but whom could I tell? 948 00:57:41,830 --> 00:57:44,603 Who would believe such a fantastic story? 949 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,950 I could sense the presence of the fiend 950 00:57:48,950 --> 00:57:50,670 there in the room with me, 951 00:57:50,670 --> 00:57:53,870 growing more powerful with each succeeding day. 952 00:57:53,870 --> 00:57:57,230 My one desire was to destroy the thing, 953 00:57:57,230 --> 00:58:00,563 but I possessed no means of projecting my thought to do so. 954 00:58:01,650 --> 00:58:02,753 Then I could hear it. 955 00:58:05,170 --> 00:58:07,980 Was it possible that there were more than one? 956 00:58:07,980 --> 00:58:09,423 I was unable to stop them. 957 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,573 They were now drawing power from the atomic station. 958 00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:19,520 Its intelligence had expanded. 959 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,340 It now knew how to make its escape. 960 00:58:22,340 --> 00:58:24,070 And then followed these horrible deaths 961 00:58:24,070 --> 00:58:25,313 and Gibbons' madness. 962 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,380 I had to know what I had done. 963 00:58:28,380 --> 00:58:30,510 I had to see one of the bodies. 964 00:58:30,510 --> 00:58:31,953 I went to the mayor's tomb. 965 00:58:32,980 --> 00:58:36,550 I now know that I have created a mental vampire, 966 00:58:36,550 --> 00:58:40,630 a fiend that needs to drain the intellect 967 00:58:40,630 --> 00:58:42,743 to survive and multiply. 968 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:44,833 - I'll get it. 969 00:58:46,140 --> 00:58:49,180 - Supposing you're right, Professor, how does it live? 970 00:58:49,180 --> 00:58:52,300 - How else but in the brains and nerve centers 971 00:58:52,300 --> 00:58:54,300 removed from these dead people? 972 00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:57,380 - Then where are they and why can't we see them? 973 00:58:57,380 --> 00:58:58,640 This is nonsense. 974 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:03,623 - We're facing a new form of life that nobody understands. 975 00:59:05,150 --> 00:59:07,200 I believe it feeds on the radiation 976 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,290 from your atomic plant and that it's evil. 977 00:59:12,430 --> 00:59:15,570 - Professor, it's my opinion that the evil's 978 00:59:15,570 --> 00:59:19,140 all in your mind, you're in need of medical assistance. 979 00:59:19,140 --> 00:59:20,840 Ah, Doctor, I'm glad to see you're here. 980 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,930 This man's become a raving lunatic. 981 00:59:22,930 --> 00:59:24,823 - Hey, what's going on out there? 982 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:27,962 Hey, look! 983 00:59:39,630 --> 00:59:41,903 - Hello, hello! 984 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,070 Professor, what's wrong with your telephone? 985 00:59:47,070 --> 00:59:48,750 - Nothing should be the matter, 986 00:59:48,750 --> 00:59:52,110 unless they've got enough intelligence to cut the lines. 987 00:59:52,110 --> 00:59:53,780 - Jeff, I want you to get over to the Air Base. 988 00:59:53,780 --> 00:59:55,228 I want emergency patrols. 989 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:04,633 - He's dead! 990 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,070 - Al, give me a hand with this. 991 01:00:07,070 --> 01:00:08,770 Hey quick, barricade that window! 992 01:00:08,770 --> 01:00:11,090 - Professor, we got anything we can nail across that window? 993 01:00:11,090 --> 01:00:12,903 - There's some lumber in my laboratory. 994 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:16,138 - I've gotta get out! 995 01:00:16,138 --> 01:00:17,918 I've gotta get out of here! - Oh, pull yourself together 996 01:00:17,918 --> 01:00:19,752 and help me with this! 997 01:00:34,595 --> 01:00:36,138 Well, at least lock the door! 998 01:00:36,138 --> 01:00:36,970 Oh, never mind! 999 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,378 - Hey, Captain, give me a hand. 1000 01:00:57,378 --> 01:00:58,790 - Yes, sir. 1001 01:00:58,790 --> 01:01:00,870 - If we'd only see them, we'd know what to do. 1002 01:01:00,870 --> 01:01:02,380 - Is there any way to make them visible? 1003 01:01:02,380 --> 01:01:03,840 - Not that I know. 1004 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:04,950 Unless it's a question of the amount 1005 01:01:04,950 --> 01:01:07,258 of atomic radiation that's available. 1006 01:01:17,470 --> 01:01:18,830 - Hello, hello, Kasper? 1007 01:01:18,830 --> 01:01:19,848 Kasper, I wanna talk to the Colonel. 1008 01:01:19,848 --> 01:01:22,303 Hello, hello, Kasper, are you there? 1009 01:01:22,303 --> 01:01:23,460 Hello, hello? 1010 01:02:01,498 --> 01:02:04,303 - I've gotta get out of here, I tell you! 1011 01:02:04,303 --> 01:02:05,482 - Oh, no, no. 1012 01:02:05,482 --> 01:02:08,245 Melville, Melville, no, no. 1013 01:02:08,245 --> 01:02:10,448 Get back, get back. 1014 01:02:10,448 --> 01:02:12,430 Melville, Melville, get a grip on yourself. 1015 01:02:12,430 --> 01:02:13,493 Get ahold of yourself. 1016 01:02:13,493 --> 01:02:14,327 - But I. 1017 01:02:29,523 --> 01:02:31,650 - Why are they so quiet? 1018 01:02:31,650 --> 01:02:32,520 Maybe they're gonna leave us alone. 1019 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:33,610 - I doubt it. 1020 01:02:33,610 --> 01:02:35,240 But they've just put out a burst of energy. 1021 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:36,170 Perhaps they need to rest. 1022 01:02:36,170 --> 01:02:37,310 Colonel Butler? - Yes? 1023 01:02:37,310 --> 01:02:39,330 - How long does it take to shut down your atomic plant? 1024 01:02:39,330 --> 01:02:40,163 - Why? 1025 01:02:40,163 --> 01:02:42,280 - If my theory is right, then without the radiation 1026 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,920 of which I was speaking, these things must die. 1027 01:02:48,820 --> 01:02:49,963 - Good grief! 1028 01:02:49,963 --> 01:02:51,720 - What is it, what do you see? 1029 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:52,553 Let me through! 1030 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,690 - Hey, Jeff, Professor, they're becoming visible! 1031 01:03:07,275 --> 01:03:09,140 - Someone or something must have increased 1032 01:03:09,140 --> 01:03:10,723 the power at the atomic plant. 1033 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,705 What have I unleashed? 1034 01:03:15,705 --> 01:03:17,290 - It's ghastly, it's horrible! 1035 01:03:17,290 --> 01:03:19,412 - Oh, you can say that again. 1036 01:03:19,412 --> 01:03:20,245 - It all ties up 1037 01:03:20,245 --> 01:03:21,880 with what Dr. Warren explained to us, sir. 1038 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:22,855 Look carefully. 1039 01:04:02,827 --> 01:04:04,743 Al, get those sidearms. 1040 01:04:08,750 --> 01:04:11,230 - I'm sure it's the atomic plant. 1041 01:04:11,230 --> 01:04:14,240 So long as it goes on, they will multiply, 1042 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:15,783 getting stronger and stronger. 1043 01:04:17,485 --> 01:04:19,163 - Yeah, well, we'll see about that. 1044 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:28,830 - Well, anyway, they're mortal. 1045 01:04:49,147 --> 01:04:50,347 Hold it, you'll hit him! 1046 01:05:04,050 --> 01:05:05,630 - He's dead. 1047 01:05:05,630 --> 01:05:07,080 - We've got to stop 'em! 1048 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,830 shut down your atomic plant. 1049 01:05:09,830 --> 01:05:13,070 Unless we shut off the radiation, we'll all be destroyed, 1050 01:05:13,070 --> 01:05:14,400 and heaven knows how many others. 1051 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:15,420 - Well, sir, there's a dynamite shed 1052 01:05:15,420 --> 01:05:16,630 between here and the plant. 1053 01:05:16,630 --> 01:05:19,840 If I can get through, I can blow up the control room. 1054 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,670 - Well, if that's the way it's got to be. 1055 01:05:21,670 --> 01:05:23,100 - I'm afraid it is. 1056 01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:24,098 - Jeff! 1057 01:05:25,380 --> 01:05:26,213 Must it be you, Jeff? 1058 01:05:26,213 --> 01:05:28,650 - Yeah, I, I know the control room layout, they don't. 1059 01:05:28,650 --> 01:05:30,438 - Be careful, Jeff, please. 1060 01:05:30,438 --> 01:05:32,963 - Yeah, I will. 1061 01:05:32,963 --> 01:05:34,513 And be sure and lock this door. 1062 01:05:38,007 --> 01:05:38,982 - He can't go alone. 1063 01:05:38,982 --> 01:05:41,180 He won't last a minute amongst those fiends. 1064 01:05:41,180 --> 01:05:42,700 - It's too late, Professor. 1065 01:05:42,700 --> 01:05:44,370 Anyway, somebody had to get through. 1066 01:05:44,370 --> 01:05:46,840 - Then cover him as he leaves the house. 1067 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,022 And shoot straight, don't waste a shot. 1068 01:05:49,022 --> 01:05:50,672 - Do you see him? - No, not yet. 1069 01:06:07,448 --> 01:06:08,750 - You can't, Professor, you can't! 1070 01:06:08,750 --> 01:06:09,730 - It's suicide! 1071 01:06:09,730 --> 01:06:11,800 - They're my creation, perhaps I can control them, 1072 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:13,967 give Jeff a chance, lock it after me. 1073 01:06:13,967 --> 01:06:14,800 - No! 1074 01:06:41,793 --> 01:06:43,480 - That was a brave man. 1075 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:44,720 - But Jeff, what's gonna happen to Jeff? 1076 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,160 - Take it easy now. 1077 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,420 I know that guy and if anybody can get through, he can. 1078 01:08:51,258 --> 01:08:54,400 - Oh, it's been so long since Jeff left. 1079 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,000 - Don't even think about it. 1080 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,010 - It's so quiet, I wonder what they're up to. 1081 01:08:59,010 --> 01:09:01,890 - Colonel, we're almost out of ammunition. 1082 01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:34,750 - Well, Captain, let's get started. 1083 01:12:34,750 --> 01:12:36,360 Doc, I'll send you some help over 1084 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:37,870 as soon as I get over to the Air Base. 1085 01:12:37,870 --> 01:12:39,380 - Thanks, Colonel. 1086 01:12:39,380 --> 01:12:40,240 - What about Jeff? 1087 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,433 He's been gone for hours. 1088 01:12:46,562 --> 01:12:47,395 Jeff! 1089 01:12:48,878 --> 01:12:49,710 Jeff! 1090 01:12:50,783 --> 01:12:51,617 I thought that-- 1091 01:12:51,617 --> 01:12:54,190 - It's okay, honey, it's all over. 1092 01:12:54,190 --> 01:12:56,890 - Well, Major, I'm leaving you in charge. 1093 01:12:56,890 --> 01:13:00,003 Report back when you have the situation well in hand. 1094 01:13:01,140 --> 01:13:01,973 - Good luck, Jeff. 1095 01:13:01,973 --> 01:13:02,807 - Thanks, boy. 1096 01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,110 Well, Doc, I hope now that we got this thing licked, 1097 01:13:07,110 --> 01:13:09,080 you'll encourage your people to cooperate with us. 1098 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,523 - Well, I reckon we owe it to you, Major. 1099 01:13:12,670 --> 01:13:17,040 And it strikes me you are setting a very good example.
