- Can I help you? - I don't know
The radiator's boiling It's never done that before
I had the water checked on the mainland
- You've got anti-freeze in? - Yes, you're supposed to in winter
That's what's causing the overheating
I've taken my anti-freeze out during this hot spell
This is the best I can do, unless you want me to drain it off
No, not now
Tell me, is the Swan far from here?
Take the next right You can't miss it
In fact, I'm going there myself
I'd offer to show you,
but I think you should let this cool down
Do I owe you anything?
No That's all right
This is the BBC Home Service Here's the weather forecast
Most districts will continue to be extremely cold
Temperatures will remain below freezing point,
ranging from 24๏ฟฝ in Northern areas
to 29๏ฟฝ in the South
However, there are exceptional conditions on the Island of Fara
Temperatures are said to be in the region of 90๏ฟฝ, and still rising
90 degrees and still rising!
- Surely it can't get any hotter - Apparently, it can
Yet on the mainland it's winter This weather doesn't make sense
Some rain wouldn't hurt At least it would cool the air
Thank you, Frankie
- Can I help you? - Is Mr Callum in?
I'm afraid not He's on his way back from the mainland
- I'm Mrs Callum - Angela Roberts, his new secretary
Oh, yes My husband said the agency was sending someone this week
I've a room ready for you I'll show you
I'd rather like a drink first I'm gasping, this heat is stifling
Yes, of course
May I have the pleasure? My name is Stone, Dr Stone
Thank you, Doctor I'll have a lager and lime, please
And so you shall
Is this your first visit to the island, Miss Roberts?
Yes It's very pretty I had a drive round after I got off the boat
It is hot, isn't it?
We usually have the same weather as the mainland
I'm sorry, the ice melts as soon as it's out of the fridge
- Same again, Bob? - No, just one for Tinker
I must be on my way Just the one
Oh, that's better
If you don't mind, I'll finish this upstairs I'd like to freshen up
- Of course - I'll show you the way
- Is this all right for you? - Yes, it's fine Thanks
Let's have some air
Oh, I see you're reading one of my husband's books
Yes I thought I should Is his new novel interesting?
He never talks about his books until they're finished, then he never stops
- Have you worked with writers before? - No Mainly for publishers
God, it's hot It's like being in the Tropics
When my husband gets back, I'll tell him you're here
- Has Callum brought my parcel? - He'll be back soon, Mr Hanson
Tell him to bring it straight to my room
- Well, he's not very polite, is he? - No
He's a strange character altogether
- How long is he staying? - Hasn't said
We've been trying to puzzle out what he does
Every day he goes out with his camera and masses of equipment
He spends the rest of his time locked in his room
He won't even let us in to clean
Good material for one of Jeff's books
Bob, what the hell are you doing?
Sorry, Jeff I just wasn't thinking
Thinking? You're lucky to be breathing
- Are you all right? - Yeah
I thought I heard something I'm sure I heard something
- Heard what? - I don't know
It was a sort of funny whirring noise
Must be going off my rocker
- I assume you've come from the Swan? - Maybe I did have one too many
It's this blasted heat Sorry again, Jeff
Forget it No harm done But take it easy
Hi, Ken Buying up the whole place?
We've got to keep cool The Met Station's like an oven
They envy us on the mainland
My publisher's threatening to pay me a visit
Tell him to bring some snow We could use it
Haven't you experts figured out what's causing this heat?
Or are we stuck with the villagers' theory that it's the bomb?
The bomb? To be perfectly honest, one theory's as good as another
We haven't a clue See you later
If the heat or the DTs don't get you first!
- Hello, darling - Hello
- Everything okay? - Yes, thanks Good trip?
Yes, apart from nearly knocking down Bob Hayward
He was in the middle of the road How I missed him, I don't know
Strange He was all right when he left here, wasn't he?
- Is that Mr Hanson's parcel? - Yes Why?
He's been asking about it
He ordered it be taken to his room, immediately
Did he? Must be important I'll take it up straight away
- Yes, who is it? - Your parcel, Mr Hanson
Come on, give it to me!
I forgot to tell you Your new secretary has arrived
- She's quite the modern miss - Really? Where is she now?
At the cove She went for a swim
I'll give you a lift
Fine I won't be long, darling
- I'll be off then, Jeff - Yeah
- Hello, Jeff - What the hell are you doing here?
- You know why I'm here - Then you made a mistake
I hope you haven't unpacked You're not staying
Come for a swim It's fabulous
Did you hear what I said? You're getting out of here
Don't shout at me You always did go on Cool down
Now listen to me,
I'm not going through your special brand of madness again
Aren't you?
For 3 months, I wrote nothing I nearly wrecked my marriage
I'm not going through it again
You can't just have a girl and then walk away
Don't pull that on me
You were no untouched virgin when we met
How long was it before we tumbled into your bed? Two hours?
- You needn't wait so long this time - You haven't taken in a word
- You're clearing out - Just like that?
Just like that
What are you going to tell your wife?
That's my problem
That you didn't like the look of me?
As far as she's concerned, I'm just your new secretary
You never did tell her about us, did you?
- What's that noise? - I don't know
Sounds as if it came from beyond the point
It's weird
Strange
Bob said he heard a peculiar noise when I nearly ran him over
Jeff
Get dressed
What happened?
I found him wandering on the road by his meadow, in a fair old state
He keeps on about his sheep being dead
What's the matter, Ben?
It's my sheep They all be dead
Someone's killed my sheep
- Can he lie down somewhere? - There's a couch in my study
- How were they killed? - Come on, Ben
- I said how were they killed? - He's in no state to answer questions
I asked a straightforward question There's no harm in that
- You found the old man? - Yes
- Did you see the sheep? - No
Only Ben wandering about, half out of his mind
- Who's he? - He's a guest His name's Hanson
Why is he so interested in the sheep? What is he?
I don't know He spends his time locked in his room
I'd like him to rest for a while
- Give time for the sedative to work - Of course
What do you think happened? Do you think his sheep are all dead?
Who can tell? With this heat it's difficult to know what's going on
Give Mrs Siddle a ring, will you? Tell her I'll be bringing Ben home
Mr Hanson
Why is he so interested in how those sheep died?
- Why don't you ask him? - How's Ben?
- He's calmed down - Did he say what happened?
No Mumbled they were dead Nothing coherent
The Doctor's not sure if it's just the heat affecting him
Mrs Siddle? Jeff Callum Ben's with us
He's not feeling well Dr Stone will bring him home
He thinks there's something wrong with the sheep
What's that? I'm sorry, I can't hear you
Don't worry He'll be home soon!
If the crisis is over, I'd better start work
Where's the typewriter and manuscript?
Mr Callum?
- Jeff - You can't start
It's in the study where Ben's resting
In that case, I'll go and change
- Yes? - It's me Can I come in?
Yes, come in
Forget it I didn't come for that
You're here now, but let's get one thing straight
Can you hear me?
Every word, darling
If Frankie finds out about us, I'll break your neck
Miss Roberts
It's only me, Miss Roberts I've brought you some fresh towels
I'll put them on your bed
Would you mind handing me one, please?
Thanks
I could kill you
- Jeff - Yeah?
Something's wrong with the TV
The phone's been playing up, too
It must be static because of this heat
I'll turn it off
Bloody set
What's the matter with you?
That's funny It's never done that before
That noise again
Stella, have you been playing around with the telly?
Of course I haven't I never touch the thing
Oh! What was that?
Don't come in, there's glass everywhere
- What happened? - Get a dustpan and brush
- But - Get the dustpan
You don't want the dog getting cut, do you?
Jeff? Look, something's happened and I
What's that?
I can't shout, I don't want Stella to hear
But you remember that noise
I said, remember that noise I heard on the road?
I'll come over
Stella, I'm just going to go down to the village
I'll see if I can get a replacement set
What a story!
- What? - You're off to Jeff Callum's
You men and your horse racing
We can't keep any secrets from you women, can we?
Hurry up You'll miss the next race
Patch!
Patch, come back here! Patch Where
Oh!
Here, Patch, here
Who told you to come, boy?
You'd better stay, now you're here
What's the matter, boy?
No!
No!
That's better This was a good idea of yours
My fingertips were sticking to the keys
Some iced coffee will probably help
Don't you get bored here with the isolation?
Bored?
Yes, I suppose so, at times But then, who doesn't?
It's the sort of thing you learn to live with in a place like this
What happened to Mr Callum's last secretary?
Did she get lonely? Is that why she left?
As a matter of fact, she didn't leave
Jeff had to ask her to go
- He sacked her? Why? - She took a fancy to him
That made her a complication and Jeff doesn't like complications
I can understand He's very attractive
She was wasting her time She didn't mean a thing to Jeff
- Of course - I'd have known if she had
- Do you really think so? - Yes, I'm sure I would
But if he were just having fun, would you know?
Jeff doesn't play around It'd be all or nothing!
It's a pity that such an attractive man should shut himself away
It makes you wonder what he's running away from
What do you mean? What are you getting at?
A man like that would need a pretty good reason
for coming to live in a place like this
It's obvious he's running away from something
And it's obvious you don't know him or you wouldn't talk such nonsense!
Oh, but I do I do
I'm surprised Jeff hasn't told you about me
He asked for me personally, didn't you know?
- Are you saying you knew him before? - Knew him? That's an understatement
You little bitch! That's not true
Don't kid yourself he's different Men are all the same
Within half an hour of me arriving, Jeff was kissing me
I don't believe you You're lying
Yes, I am lying
Why? Why should you lie to me?
I don't know I was angry
It's an automatic reflex when I'm being warned off
You were warning me off?
Yes
Yes, I suppose I was
I thought I'd get a bit more written before opening time
I expected it to cool down by evening, but it's getting hotter
- Bob never turned up, did he? - No
I thought he said he would, just before the phone packed in
What did he want?
He was on about some noise he'd heard
Like the one we heard on the beach?
Jeff You don't mind if I call you Jeff?
- No, not at all - You said the noise
came from beyond the point Is that where the sheep were?
His farm is in that direction
- Do you think there's a connection? - Do you, Jeff?
No, I don't
I'm the one who's paid to use my imagination
The next chapter I'd like it finished tonight, if possible
I'll take my coffee and get the bar ready
Jeff May I have a light?
Your hand's trembling
I'm the same Feel it beating?
You know you want me Why try to deny it?
Quiet
Listen
Jeff! Jeff!
Something just landed over by the hill
I was looking out of the window and it landed in the field
- What did it look like? - I couldn't tell
- There was glow coming from it - A glow?
- Did it make a noise? - That's what drew my attention to it
A whirring, whining whining noise
- It was from that direction? - Yes, I think so
Jeff!
- Let's get out of here I'm scared - No I want to find out who it is
Hanson! What was he doing up there?
Maybe he saw something land
He wasn't coming from that direction
Surely if he saw something, he'd still be there
Maybe he wouldn't go over the hill
Maybe it's something even he's scared of
He's crazy Whatever he's doing, he's obsessed by it
Yes She's right
If we stay out here, we'll all have nightmares
- Let's go back - Hold it!
You said you saw something That's why we came out here
Did you or didn't you?
Yes I thought I did
I thought I saw something coming down
It seemed to appear over the top of the hill and move slowly down
But in this heat, I don't know
Stay here I'm going to take a look
Jeff, be careful
It must've been the other side of that high ground
Let's get out of here Wait till tomorrow, when it's light
You can't leave us here and I'm not going any further
All right But I'll tell you one thing
I've had enough of Hanson creeping around
I'm going to ask him what he's up to
Hanson, are you in there?
Hanson, do you hear me?
I can't talk now Go away
Open this door! Hanson, open this door, or I'll kick it down!
No Give me a moment
What are you doing? What's going on?
Hanson!
Hanson!
The door!
Close the door, you idiot!
What do you think you're doing?
Never mind about me What are you up to?
This is my hotel not your bloody laboratory!
I want some explanations, Hanson If that's your name
It is And I don't owe you any explanation
You do if you're using my hotel as a centre of your activities
Were you out there to meet whatever landed tonight?
- Landed? - You were prowling around out there
What's this about a landing?
I came to ask questions, not answer them
Yes, but this landing, what was it?
I assure you I can explain, but this is extremely important
Well, actually it was my wife who saw it
- Go on - She heard a whirring noise
When she looked in its direction she saw something glowing
- Yes? - And she thought she saw it land
- Where? - The other side of the hill
Do you know what it was?
- Well? - Yes Yes, I do
What was it, Hanson?
I don't expect you to believe this, but for the past week
I've been convinced this island is the centre of an invasion
A landing point for beings from another planet
Beings from another planet!
Exactly That's what has caused this inexplicable heat
I've heard some yarns from villagers, but your theory is too much
I'm not a superstitious villager I'm a scientist
I base my conclusions on observations of fact
What do you suppose I'm doing here?
I've been collecting specimens Soil
Blood of a sheep I've been analysing them
You asked for an explanation, but you're too dim-witted to accept it
You've ruined everything with your crass stupidity Here
Perhaps I shouldn't have broken in like that
So you've been trying to photograph these things?
I haven't been "trying", I did photograph them
I used a normal lens at first, but it was ineffective
against the intense light that emanates from these beings
Remember that parcel you collected for me?
It contained this An infra red filter
I experimented with a special camera and placed it
Here I used a mirror reflector and rigged up the shutter
to be triggered by anything crossing its line of vision
- And something did come through? - Yes, it did!
I was developing the picture when you burst into the room
It would've given me the proof I so desperately need
Then what you've told me so far is pure conjecture?
- Cinders? - Incinerated by whatever was here
The same happened to the sheep They were burned to death
There's been some sort of incineration,
but it doesn't have to be a being from another planet
I've analysed that, Callum
It was burned by a high frequency heat,
more intense than anything we can produce,
even under strict laboratory conditions
There's only one place where that kind of heat exists
Out there, where the cosmic gases ferment
and generate a heat greater than anything we can imagine
That's where those beings must come from
If you're right, how are they getting here? Where are they?
If we knew, we could destroy them before it's too late
Tell me, has anybody else heard this whirring noise?
Yes, Bob did In the lane, over by the gravel pits
Somewhere in this area
Here, boy What's the matter?
Callum!
Come on
I've found it
Callum, look
This doesn't affect you at all!
I appreciate how you feel I know he was a friend of yours,
but that won't do any good now Look
Every particle of energy has been sucked out of it
Hanson We've got to warn people They should be told
No, not yet
You forced your way in on me You had to know, didn't you?
Now you're going to do what I say
The authorities have dismissed me as a crank,
just like you did
But I must have evidence,
and I would've got it if you hadn't destroyed that photograph
I need time to complete my tests
- How much time? - Two or three hours
As for warning the villagers, we must avoid injecting fear
into an already dangerous situation
Callum, have you noticed something?
This heat,
at this time of night it should be getting cooler,
but it's building up
- It's getting hotter, Frankie - I think you're right, it is
- There you are - Thanks, my dear
Oh, what an atmosphere
They've probably heard about Ben Siddle
I think I'd better finish that typing, Mrs Callum
No wonder the temperature's up Who's been hiding her?
Beer, Hanson?
Frankie, pull me a lager
- Is something wrong? - No, nothing
- Jeff, I know you - There's nothing wrong!
I'm sorry, it's this damned heat that's making me jumpy
We've been getting on each other's nerves too
That's why I came here
That shows how hot it is
Smash the bottles! All of them!
- I'll get the first aid kit - I'll get it You'll never find it
What on earth's going on out there?
The heat exploded the bottles
It's unbearable, isn't it?
- Here we are - Don't touch me
I only want to put a plaster on your arm
- Let Ken do it - What's the matter?
Let it go, Callum
This heat is bound to lead to irrational behaviour I'll do it
I'll get Dr Stone
Come on, Tinker Back to the pub
It's all right Come on That's it
It was Tinker He jumped me Come on
Callum, come here
Look at the gas cylinder It's split open, just like the car battery
Completely drained of every ounce of energy
Tinker? It's impossible I can't believe he'd do a thing like that
Not under normal circumstances, but these are not normal circumstances
If this heat goes on increasing, it could drive us all insane
The body isn't equipped for such pressure The glands will fail
Then, it's only a matter of time before the brain is affected
A logical conclusion, but we should keep it to ourselves
That's what Hanson keeps saying Two men have been killed
- Two? - Who's been killed?
- How's the girl? - She's all right
Who's been killed?
Will someone tell me what's going on?
I'm afraid Tinker's met with an accident
Jeff, who else is dead? You mentioned two
- Bob Hayward - Bob! How?
It was an accident
- Accident? He was - Callum, calm down
These creatures are killing God knows how many, and that's your answer?
Creatures? What do you mean, creatures?
- He shouldn't have told you - What do you know that I don't?
He claims we're being attacked by creatures from another planet
Claims? What do you mean? You've seen them?
Bob Hayward and Tinker did
I don't understand I don't understand
- Neither do I, Frankie - Here
His thinks the island is being used as a test base for an invasion
- Don't ask me why - It's quite obvious
They have to discover if they can survive in our atmosphere
- That's incredible - Is it?
We probe space searching for information about other planets
It's logical that same thing might happen in reverse
Are you saying that Earth has become a subject of a probe
carried out by creatures from another planet?
Yes, I am
And what I saw land tonight was one of those creatures?
Yes
One of them, forming a spearhead
to find out if life is possible for them on Earth
And if it is possible?
Then, the main force will come
Have you any idea what they need to survive?
Heat The way that car battery and cylinder were split
suggests they were seeking heat energy
- They obviously need it to exist - Fine, fine!
We'll just wait for you to complete your tests!
The temperature has risen three degrees in the last half hour 108
At this rate, we'll all dead by morning
I accept that the situation is serious
The indications are that we're approaching a crisis
- Hanson! - Getting emotional won't help
- We must alert the mainland - How?
The telephone's out of action
What about the Met station? They can send a message I'll drive up there
Just a moment, Doctor This could be very dangerous
Someone must go We've lost enough time already
Very well But don't go until I come back
- I'll come with you - There's no point both of us going
You stay and look after the girls
And Jeff, I should leave that alone
Too much of it doesn't help in a crisis
This will help us keep in touch
Aerial, press to speak, release to receive Got it?
Yes Thank you
Good luck, Doctor
- And be careful - Don't worry, I will
These creatures, are they likely to attack us?
Depends what they're looking for
I think they're looking for an energy source to keep them alive
But once they've found it they'll spread to the mainland
Yes
Hello, Hanson
Are you there, Hanson?
Yes, Stone I can hear you Where are you?
I'm on the road to the point I've just passed White's Meadow
I can see the outline of the Met station in the distance
The radiator's boiling up She's losing power
How far is the station?
I'm not sure About a mile and a quarter I should say
She's slowing down
She won't last long The heat's affecting the engine
It's very dark out here
She's pulling badly
The gravel pit's coming up I can make out the entrance
She's stopping
It's no good I'll have to leave her I'll walk the rest
Hanson, I'm on the road
There's a gap in the fence
It looks like something
- It's that noise again - Get away from there!
Get away! It's your only chance
I can't hear you! It's this noise!
Stone Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Get away from that sound
What's wrong? Isn't it working?
Yes, Mrs Callum The set's working
It's horrible
What now?
- It depends - On what?
Whether that meeting was an accident or a deliberate interception
If it was deliberate, it means we're not dealing with brute monsters,
but with a superior intelligence
Which do you think it is?
I don't know, Mrs Callum I honestly don't know
There must be an answer to these things
We've got to try again I'm going this time
Wait, Callum
If you go out, you risk sacrificing another life
The Doctor took the risk We can't just leave him there
No!
I'll have to go
I'm not being heroic
Stone was taken by surprise
I'm better equipped to deal with this situation
He's right, Jeff
I'll take your Land Rover Have you got the keys?
Supposing they're still out there, what will you do?
If they are, I'll have to avoid making the same mistakes as Stone
Keep these doors locked and that set switched on
Lock the windows, Frankie
Angela It's all right There's nothing to be afraid of
I must've had a nightmare
I kept seeing that man coming towards me
His hands I thought
It's all right, Angela It's all right He's gone now
There's no need to be afraid Come on Lie down
I shouldn't think we'll hear from Hanson yet It's too soon
You knew her before, didn't you?
- Who? - You know who I mean That girl
- You knew her before she came here - No
Don't lie to me, Jeff
I've said I didn't know her
I saw you kissing her in the study
That doesn't mean I knew her
Ever since she came here, you've been tense
Just as you were before we moved
Frankie, let it be
You did know her
All right, I knew her Leave it at that
It wasn't difficulty with your writing It was her
- That why we moved here - Drop it, Frankie
You're overwrought The heat is affecting us all Let it go
Are you in love with her?
Answer me Are you in love with her?
Not now, Frankie We're fighting for our lives!
It's important to me I must know
Tell me, are you in love with her?
No
- Then, what is it? - I wanted her I wanted her body!
Now you know She was a slut and I wanted her
But not any more I didn't ask her here
She's no more than a common slut
There's no comparison with what I feel for you
That's why we moved here It was completely physical, I promise
She never meant a thing to me She never will
Where is everybody? Where's the doctor?
He's not here Go back to the study
Get him! I need him!
He can't come Go back and lie down
He should be here I'm ill
I need him Where the hell is he?
He can't come, you selfish bitch! He's dead
Dead? Dead
Dead
Callum Callum
This is Hanson This is Hanson
He's found the other one
Can you hear me? Callum? Can you hear me?
- Why don't you answer? - I can hear you Where are you?
I'm at the gravel pit I've found Stone's body
He's dead
He's burnt to death Just like all the others
The ground here is all scorched
This is obviously the way they came
I can see something Something glowing down in the pit
It's getting hotter
I'm going in
Hanson, remember two people have already died there
It's horrible What's he doing there?
It's very dark in here I can't see very far
I can see it again
It certainly is a light source
The light seems to be
I'm not receiving you
- Hanson, do you hear me? - Why doesn't he answer?
Hanson!
He's not coming through
It's a woman! I'll have to stop her
Of course The light!
What are we going to do? What the hell are we going to do?
The area beyond the gravel pit must be their assembly point
I saw one down there
What happened? The set went off Are you all right?
Yes The aerial must've been screened by the pit
I've discovered something very important
They're attracted to light To them, it's a source of energy
Turn out all your lights Do you hear?
Yes, I hear you Is there anything else?
No, I'm going on now
I'll drive without lights
I'll contact you when I get to the station
Thank God he's all right
He must've seen the creatures themselves
I wonder how many there are
I'll get the orange juice
How long do you think he'll take to get there?
Not long If he gets through
He ought to be there by now
- Why doesn't he contact us? - Jeff, don't panic, please
If it's possible to get through, he'll manage
How do you know? How do you know he's not dead as well?
It's only five miles to the point
He ought to be arriving any moment
Intermediate frequency Range four
Four miles? No wonder we haven't heard from him
If he's at the Met station, he's out of range
What do we do if he's out of range? Do we just wait?
- I can't stand it another minute! - I want to get away too
- We must go to the Met station - Anything's better than this
We'll take your car I know a short cut Come on, darling
I'll drive I know the way
We were in the office when the lights blew
We heard the explosion and found the operator
We got him to the wardroom but he was dead Burnt to death
That explains it That finally explains it
Would you mind letting us in on the secret?
Simple Your station is the means by which these beings got here
This station?
You must be aware that we've been sending out high frequency impulses
to explore space
Bouncing signals off stars?
Exactly To us, these impulses are useful, but quite harmless
But to these beings, they represent a life force
- I see - Do you?
We attracted them, but that doesn't explain how they got here
It's quite obvious, isn't it?
They must've homed in on your scanner
These beings are composed of high frequency impulses in heat form
They transfer like any form of high frequency
They transferred here like a TV picture,
from a transmitter to a receiver
- Using our scanner as a receiver - Exactly
- Then they materialised on Earth - Materialised?
In the same way as a satellite TV picture
It starts in space as a signal and then materialises
Do you realise what you're saying?
The Earth's surface is dotted with TV and radar scanners
If these beings succeed, they'll heat up the whole surface
Earth will be just another hot planet
Like so many others in the constellation
We've got to stop them We must destroy them before they destroy us
- Have you got any explosives? - No
Just a couple of revolvers and some ammo
- We've got some flare guns - Get them
Wait, the quarry There'll be gelignite there
- Anybody there you can contact? - Like hell I'll get it myself
I'll be glad to apologise if we succeed I'll take the van
Whatever you do, don't forget: Drive without lights
I'm getting to be quite a criminal
She's slowing down She'll blow any moment
Come on, damn you Keep going
It's that noise again I can hear it
- Angela - Is she all right?
I missed her But only just
She heard you coming and panicked Have you seen Hanson?
- He's at the station - Good
They got to us
- Anyone hurt? - Yes, the operator Burnt to death
Are you all right?
She's put the car in the ditch
I'll give you a hand Here, sit down
Under the wheel
Right, start her up All right, push
Put her in reverse
I'll take Angela with me It'll lighten your load
Right
- Have you contacted the mainland? - No
Here, Frankie
Here we are
Fine Tie them in bundles of three like I told you
This is the plan We split up into two groups
- Is that a good idea? - It's essential
You know the hayricks out on the point?
Foster and I will go up there and I'll set fire them
Wait You said these creatures were attracted by light
It'll bring them out into the open
Foster will intercept them with the dynamite I'll double back
- What'll we do? - Go to the top of the cliff
As soon as the fires are alight, use the flares to alert the mainland
- There's nothing else we can do? - Has anybody got any better ideas?
It'll take us 15 minutes to get to the hayricks
When you spot my first flare, it's your signal to move
Foster
Remember, 15 minutes
Can you see them?
Why do you think Hanson split us into two groups?
If he and Foster fail, it'll be up to us
That's what I thought
He's a peculiar chap, but he's got guts
Angela seems to be taking it badly
If things get tough, will you look after her?
- Then I can take care of Frankie - Sure
That's it Let's go
Listen
It's coming from the meadow
Come on We must keep going
- Jeff! - I'll get her Take this
Lightning
Foster!
Foster, get out of there!
Foster!
You fool You could've run into them!
Let me go Let me go!
- Leave me alone Let me go - You'll do as I say
In there It'll be safe Come on
You little idiot
Who are you to tell me what to do? It's my life
You wouldn't stand a chance on your own
At least we have a chance by sticking together
I didn't ask you to come after me Go back
And leave you here? Oh, no Like it or not, I'm staying
I hate you Leave me alone
Look, I'm just as scared as you are
But Well, we mustn't give up
We'll find a way I know we will
- How many more flares? - They're the last
Whatever happens, Frankie, stay close
Callum The storm, the storm
Hanson, run for it! Run!
Run!
Aaah!
It's no good Hanson tried to warn us
They're all around us
It's the lightning
- I can't stand it I can't - Stop it! Stop it!
I don't want to kill you, but I will if I have to Don't stop me
- You little fool - No, you're the fool
I'd rather die like this than be burnt alive
All right Go on Do it, but kill me first
You?
Yes You're right It's hopeless, completely hopeless
So for once, do something for someone else
Go on, shoot
Damn you
What is it with you?
Don't you think I'm old enough to take care of myself?
Look The rain
It's killing them
