- Still maintaining course.
- Termination?

ShoUId be through any second .

- What happened to the lnterceptors?
- They didn't make contact.

- They what?
- They're coming in too fast.

Nearly home, John.

How'd yoU make oUt
with that model boat I sent?

- I finished it.
- You finished it?

(Phone buzzes)

Straker.

All right, AIec. Thanks, um.. .
I'll be in aboUt six o'clock.

Right.

- Do you want to see it?
- Hmm?

- The boat, Dad .
- Oh, sUre. You bet I do.

Moonbase to SHADO Control.
Speed SOL one-decimal-foUr.

- SOL one-decimal-foUr? That's crazy!
- They're changing course.

A correction.
One maintaining flight path.

The second, new course
zero-four-two. .. one-eight-three!

I don't get it.

One's veered off, the other's coming
in so fast it can't possibly land .

Wait for me, Dad.

Hello, Mary.

Hello, Ed . You're Iate.

Yes. We were having such a great
time, I thoUght an extra half hoUr.

(Man) Mary!

Could yoU make it a week later
next month, say, the 1 6th?

The 1 6th. Yes, that'II be fine.

Listen, l'd. . . like to talk to yoU
about John. Is he. .?

No, no, he's fine.

- We're both fine.
- (Man) Mary!

We're all pertectly all right.

Oh, uh.. .
Johnny wanted to show me something.

I . .. think yoU'd better go.
I'll explain to Johnny.

Right.

Goodbye, Ed .

Dad! Dad!

(Horn)

Dad, Dad!

(Phone ringing)

(Phone continUes ringing)

The doctor will see yoU soon. They
came oUt of sUrgery ten minUtes ago.

(nUrse) He's as well as can
be expected.

Thank you.

(Ford) Termination coming through.

Ireland, west coast.

- It's still coming in too fast.
- Range seven million.

Confirm. One-decimal-four.

Moonbase to SHADO Control.
We still have U FO on positive track.

Confirm speed SOL one-decimal-foUr.

It must slow soon.

75,000.

- (Woman) RedUcing speed .
- Alert groUnd radar.

All radar stations, areas B-one-four-two
and one-foUr-foUr, red alert.

Sky One airborne.

Proceeding to search area.
ETA ?1 minUtes.

Mrs RUtland? I'm Dr Segal.

No, please don't get Up.

How is he?

Well, the boy has a fractured
right femUr.

He's also got a compound fractUre
of the tibia and fibUIa.

There's serious internal haemorrhage.
We've given him a transfusion.

- May we see him?
- Not just now, I'm afraid.

As yoU probably realise, your son
has an allergy to antibiotics.

- Yes, when he was a baby, he was...
- When he was three months old,

he was critically ill from a
Terramycin injection.

- L'm the boy's father.
- I see.

Well, the problem is
one of elimination.

We have to find a suitable
antibiotic. lt takes time.

There mUst be something.

Well, there's the new American
anti-allergeretic drug.

- Will it do the job?
- Well, it's been tested .

(Segal) Its sUpply is very Iimited still.
(Straker) BUt available. .?

(Segal) In America, yes. But we need it
Urgently. Within the next few hoUrs.

(Mr Rutland) We'll fly some over.
I'll charter a plane.

(Segal) I'm afraid
there won't be time.

I'II take care of it.

What are you talking aboUt?
How can yoU?

I said I'll take care of it.

He's still my son.

If you'II let me
have the details, Doctor.

Yes, naturally.

(Beeper)

I . .. I have to leave.

You always had to leave.

We'II stay and see the boy through.

Tell your contact to ask for
Dr Ashley.

Miss Ealand,
contact our people in new York.

I want a special coUrier to pick Up
a drug from the Westmoor Hospital.

Take down these details.

4,600 miles from impact.

Speed?

- ?4,000 knots.
- He'II never make it.

We have it on ground radar.

(Whirring engine passes)

(Bird squawking)

Impact confirmed.

- Do we have a grid reference?
- Yes, sir.

IGR area B-one-foUr-two-zero-eight.
JUst off the west coast of Ireland.

- Tell Captain Carlin to overtly.
- Yes, sir.

Crazy coming in at that speed.

- Could it have been damaged?
- I don't see how.

The Interceptors didn't get
anywhere near it.

The aliens don't usually make
that kind of mistake.

At Ieast they're fallible.

- Miss Ealand .
- Yes, sir.

Has that drUg been picked Up yet?

Yes, sir. They're taking it
straight to the airport.

Fine, fine. I'll arrange for
the Transporter myself.

Yes, sir.

Straker.

'Voiceprint positive.
Commander Straker.'

(Lift machinery whirrs)

Keep in contact with Carlin.
Though I doUbt if he can tell Us mUch.

- Yes, sir.
- What's the sitUation?

Two U FOs. One veered off 1 0 million miles
away, the other crashed , Western Ireland.

Its entry speed was too high.

Right.

Sky One is on its way now to
look for wreckage,

but I don't sUppose
there'll be much left to see.

Fine.

- Is everything all right?
- Is it ever?

I was going to grab a bite to eat.
Care to join me?

It's all right, AIec, I've got a few
things to clear up here.

You go ahead.

All right.

See yoU later.

Tell the New York Transporter
to stand by for immediate takeoff.

(Ford) 'BUt it doesn't leave
for seven hoUrs, sir.'

- l believe I said "immediate take-off'!
- 'Yes, sir.'

No calls, Miss Ealand .

And woUId yoU get me
zero-one-two-foUr-one-foUr, please?

(Phone buzzes)

Intensive Care Unit, please.

Hello, I'm enpUiring aboUt a patient,
a young boy.

John Straker.

Well, there must be.

John Rutland?

Yes, he could be Under that name.

No change?

Thank you.

Well, Mrs O'Connor.
There's not a Iot wrong with you.

I coUId've told yoU that myself,
Doctor.

I'II bet you coUId. I'II drop in
next time I'm passing.

Won't yoU stay for a cUp of tea?

No, thanks, it's getting Iate and
I have to go over to the Regan farm.

- Say goodbye to the doctor, Billy.
- (Billy) Don't be daft.

(O'Connor) Oh, you're a naUghty boy.

I'II see you to the door, Doctor.

I have to treat my gentlemen callers
with great respect

or else they won't come back.

Sky One to Skydiver Control,
it crashed about 1 00 yards offshore.

I'm going around once more
before the light fades.

(Billy spUawking)

(RUstling outside)

(Bottle falls to pavement)

Did yoU hear that?

(SpUawks)

What was it, Billy?

I'm sUre I heard a noise.

Didn't yoU hear it, Billy?

Is anyone there?

I know someone's there.

(RUstling)

Oh. YoU must excUse me.

You see.. . l'm blind.

(SpUawking)

What are you doing?

What are you looking for?

(O'Connor)
There's nothing of valUe here.

(SpUawking)

Please. PIease don't touch
the bird.

(Door closes)

- Where's that Transporter?
- 'Just taken off. ETA London 23:30.'

Fine. I want a car and an escort
at the airport to meet it.

'Yes, sir.'

Great steak.

(Freeman) Medium rare,
side order of salad .

Sounds very appetising.

Yeah, it was. It certainly was.

Look, it's pretty quiet here.
There's nothing yoU can do.

Why don't you go home?

What home?

Who are yoU?

(Freeman) What's the position, Peter?
(Peter) 'Sky One has re-docked .

'Skydiver proceeding to
crash area. ETA 1 5 minUtes.'

Fine. Contact Us
the moment yoU have anything.

'Roger, Control.'

I still can't figure oUt
why it came in so fast.

To avoid the Moonbase Interceptors.

It's possible.

The moment it passed Moonbase
it had plenty of time to decelerate.

- That the Transporter?
- (Ford) Yes, sir.

23:30 hours confirmed as ETA.

Have my car oUtside in
30 minutes.

- L'm going home.
- Yes, sir.

Oh, AIec.

Maybe that U FO tried to decelerate
but coUIdn't, becaUse it'd been hit.

The Interceptors were way oUt.
What else could've caUsed it?

The second U FO.
The one that veered off.

Tell Carlin to Iook out
for wreckage

with signs of damage
not consistent with the crash.

Right, sir.

(Woman) Right. Thank you,
SHADO Control, we'll do that. OUt.

- Anything?
- Not a sign.

- Steer zero-foUr-two.
- Yes, sir.

(Ringing)

A Block, night nurse speaking.

Yes, she's still here.

It's for yoU .

(PA) 'Dr Jones. Dr Jones.'

Yes?

Oh, it's you, Ed.
No, there's no news.

The drUg is on its way.

Everything will be all right, Mary.

Yes.. . Yes.

Yes, I will.

No, no, I'm fine.
I want to stay here.

Don't Iet Johnny down this time, Ed .

Don't Iet us down.

All right.

Bye.

That coUId be it. About 50 yards
ahead. CoUple of degrees to port.

Stop engines.

I'II take a Iook. Release
a marker bUoy and inform Control.

Yes, sir.

Tell me. Who are you?

Why don't you answer me?

Why won't you speak to me?

(High-pitched beeping)

What's that noise?
What are you doing?

Why don't you go away?
Why don't yoU Ieave my hoUse?

I want yoU to hear something.
It's important.

- PIay it back.
- 'Yes, sir.'

(O'Connor) 'Why don't you go away?
Why don't yoU Ieave my hoUse?'

It cUt in about three minutes ago
on oUr waveband.

- CUt in?
- CIear as a bell.

Estimated signal strength
1 500 megawatts.

That's as powertUI as a mediUm-sized
commercial transmitter.

- Do we have any bearings?
- Ireland, the west coast.

(Beeping continues)

What is that noise?

What is it?

I'm only trying to feel yoUr face.

'Don't you understand? I'm blind .

'Why, yoU're trembling.
Why don't yoU answer me?

'Why don't yoU tell me who yoU are
and what it is you want?

'BecaUse then
I might be able to help yoU .'

U FO crashes off
the west coast of Ireland .

And an old lady broadcasts
from the same area

with a transmitter powertul enoUgh
to break in on oUr wavebands.

It can't be coincidence.

- Cancel my car.
- Yes, sir.

Did yoU get closer bearings?

No. We'd have to triangUIate
from groUnd vehicles.

And there aren't any.
Where's the nearest Transporter?

JUst over the Atlantic.
200 miles out.

- Coming in from New York?
- Yes, sir.

I thought that wasn't supposed
to take off until 1 4:00 hours.

Correct, bUt it's been en roUte
for 50 minutes. Straker's orders.

He mUst be psychic.

Close outer hatch.

- Outer hatch closed.
- EvacUate.

Open inner hatch.

Opening inner hatch.
Inner hatch open.

I want these shots developed
and sent to Control ASAP.

How'd it look?

Part of the metallic strUctUre had
practically been vaporised .

I'II tell yoU one thing.

It had been fired on by something
before it crashed.

(IrregUIar heartbeats on monitor)

Captain Carlin jUst radioed
these in.

There's no doUbt. That U FO
was damaged before it crashed .

BUt by what?

Two U FOs are sighted . One veers off,
the other crashes off western lreland.

From the same area,
someone breaks in on our waveband.

Let's make a coUple of guesses.

An alien sUrvives the crash,
goes into a house,

the occupant is an old lady.

She said she was blind.

Yes, so she thinks he's a man.
An intruder possibly.

The alien sets up a transmitter
and beams in on our waveband .

- Why?
- We'll know when we track him down.

Well, that won't be easy, Alec.

With Mobiles in the area,
we can pinpoint his exact position.

So that'll take time.

Less than an hoUr. Transporter
will be there within minUtes.

Mobiles can be in the area
immediately.

Once they're in position, we can get exact
bearings from his next transmission.

A Transporter?

The one from New York.
You ordered an early take-off.

- What have you done?
- I diverted it, what else?

Is something wrong?

I'II tell Captain Carlin
to go ashore as Field Commander.

- I thought you'd like some coffee.
- Thank you.

- What time is it?
- That clock is right.

It hasn't arrived yet.

(Phone)

A Block.
Mrs RUtland , it's for you.

No. I'll take it.

Hello? Yes, it's me.

No, no. JUst the same.

There's been a delay.

The drUg will be here
as soon as possible.

Yes, I know. I know!

I'd Iike to explain to Mary.

It's been delayed.

Yes?

BUt--!

Important?!

What.. . What can be more important
than yoUr own son's Iife?

Listen, Mary, please. It's not
like that. YoU don't Understand.

No! No, l don't understand ,
I'll never Understand!

(Phone clatters)

Mary, Iisten to me. . . Mary!

(Sobbing)

- Where's the Transporter?
- Just Ianded in Ireland, sir.

The second it's Unloaded I want it
back in the air for London.

Yes, sir.

Look, I'm sorry aboUt
the Transporter. Was it important?

These things are always
a puestion of priorities.

Tell the Mobiles not to move in
till l give the word.

Get me a large-scale map
of the area.

- And get me Captain Carlin.
- Sir.

(IrregUIar heartbeat on monitor)

(Mary sobbing)

(High-pitched beeping)

(SpUawking)

It's all right, Billy.
Our visitor's a nice man.

He doesn't want to hUrt us.
It's all right, Billy.

- Mobile One in position.
- Roger, One.

All Mobiles in position, sir.

All we can do now
is wait for the next transmission.

An alien who wants to cooperate.
To help.

Why else would he transmit
on oUr waveband?

Why won't you speak to me?

Get a bearing.

(Beeping)

Why don't you tell me who you are?
'lt's better to tell someone.'

(Static)

What the devil's jamming that signal?

(SID) 'Second UFO re-sighted.
Moonbase red alert.'

Interceptors, immediate IaUnch.

Missile firing
minus six-decimal-four.

(SID) 'Interception negative.
UFO proceeding to Earth.

'Red alert. Replacement Sky One.'

(O'Connor, above static)
'l know I can't do very mUch, but...

I'II try and help you.'

Got it.

Mobile One to Control. Signal vector
one-three-eight-decimal-three.

- Tell the Mobiles to move in.
- Yes, sir.

(Beeping continues)

Mobile One to Control.
Eight miles from target.

(IrregUIar heartbeat continUes)

(Beeping continues)

FoUr miles.

(Beeping continues)

(Beeping fades into distance)

(Beeping continues)

(Whirring approaches)

(Whirring gets IoUder)

We'II never know.
He might have told Us everything.

(John) 'Dad!'

Dad! Dad!

(Horn)

(Tyres spUealing)

Ed! Well, do something!

(Violent sobbing)

Mary.

I never want to see you again.

(Sobbing)

(Sobbing echoes and fades)
