Beaks: The Movie (1987) - full transcript
Vanessa, a television reporter covering a story of a farmer attacked by his chickens, discovers that this is not an isolated incident. Travelling to Spain with her cameraman Peter, the two discover the survivors of a town wiped out by the birds thirty years ago. Meanwhile, attacks continue as a child's birthday party ends in tragedy and doves devour a poultry farmer and his wife. Vanessa soon comes to the conclusion that the birds are organizing themselves against the ecological ravages of man, but time is running out as thousands of birds launch an attack against a train Vanessa is traveling on...

- Blindfolded and with a single shot,
Giuseppe Ferreri will attempt
to bring down a bird in flight.
This is considered one of
the most remarkable feats
in the history of marksmanship.
(light dramatic music)
(bullet clicking)
(dove cooing)
(gun banging)
(dove cooing)
- Why did you do that?
- Huh?
(speaking foreign language)
For pleasure.
- Pleasure?
For pleasure?
Fuck.
(upbeat music)
(wings flapping)
(engines rumbling)
- This is considered to be one
of the most remarkable feats
in the history of marksmanship.
(gun banging)
- Cut here to commercial and
freeze frame in the titles.
Bring up music.
- Okay, you got it.
♪ All set to ♪
♪ Open ♪
♪ No matter what I do ♪
- What is this?
- Great stuff.
Fantastic shot of that bird blowing up.
- I wish you could fly.
Listen, when are you gonna give
me some decent assignments?
I'm a journalist, not a sideshow worker.
And this is ridiculous.
A story about attack chickens?
I'm not gonna do it, I won't do it.
- It'll make great copy.
The attack of the killer chickens.
You do that kind of stuff well.
- I majored in journalism in
college, not animal husbandry.
Give me some news to cover.
- Soon.
These specialty items get good response
and our audiences enjoy
watching you do them.
- Enjoy watching me make
a fool out of myself.
- Just do this one.
I'll get you some hard news
to cover, I promise you.
Anyway, if you don't I'll
can your pretty little ass.
- You have such class.
- I'm giving a party at my place tonight.
Wanna come?
- Sorry, I only have time for chickens.
(light music)
- What a waste of talent.
Come on, come on.
(gun banging)
(wings flapping)
(hawk cawing)
- 80 over 140.
Excellent, much better.
It looks like this weather and the rest
are doing you a world of good.
- Yeah, I feel a lot better.
Well, if you need anything just call me.
- Sure, thanks.

(chickens clucking)
- It happened here.
His coops are filled with happy chickens.
Harmless creatures as
though it would seem.
Then one day for no apparent reason
they launched an attack on their owner.
The feathered mutiny spread
and these turkeys joined the fray,
and it's not even close to Thanksgiving.
This would've been dismissed as a sick,
as a single freak incident,
except for one thing.
We'll be right back to
tell you all about it.
Stay tuned.
Cut.
(Peter chuckles)
It's not funny, Peter.
I'm a grown woman, I shouldn't
have to be doing this.
- Hey, man, we all gotta make a living.
(Peter laughs)
- Thanks a lot, jerk.
Roll.
So, what happened next:
Mr. and Mrs. Neilson
were just coming out of church
when a new feathered army attacked them.
Flocks, wild birds, and doves swooped down
on them from the trees.
- I had been in business for 22 years.
Checked the coops every
morning, I'd clean up.
Water and feed the birds,
nothing ever happens.
But I don't know why it was different.
- Okay, cut.
(birds chirping)
Okay, action.
Come in.
Do you know why?
- I'm not really sure.
The chickens got together
like they were following
some kind of orders.
Just like that, they jumped
on me real angry-like.
Lucky I had a broom with
me and I beat them off.
I was close to the door and I backed out.
I've never seen anything like it.
I really was scared.
- And these attacks were
repeated by wild birds?
- That's right.
Any bird that sees me
jumps on me just like that.
- What Mr. Neilson is
saying is hard to believe,
so we brought this
along for an experiment.
A small, harmless canary.
The delight of many households.
In fact, this canary was
bred and hatched in a cage.
Let's see what happens.
(light dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(engine rumbling)
- Control tower, this is
November seven three four
delta foxtrot, requesting
permission for landing
on runway nine, we're over.
- Negative, number seven
three four delta foxtrot.
It's impossible to land,
there's a huge flock
of birds flying over the airstrip.
They've already caused two crashes.
We can't risk it, over.
- What's the nearest auxiliary runway?
I've got about 30 minutes
worth of fuel, over.
- You've got the Air Ranch Airstrip
north-northeast from
your present position.
It should be well within your fuel range.
It's the only strip that's
operative at this time.
Do you read me?
Over.
- Go ahead, tower, I read you.
- The radar indicates
two large masses of birds
directly in front of you, over over.
(engine rumbling)
(light dramatic music)
(birds thudding)
- Mayday, mayday.
No, I have a collision,
I can't control the--
(clattering)
I'm in a spin, I'm out of control!
Hey, hey, pull out, you gotta
help me, I'm, I'm going down.
I'm going down!
(man screaming)
(engine rumbling)
(booming)
(light dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(wing flapping)
(door thudding)
- It's really crazy.
If I hadn't seen that canary
I never would've believed it.
- Well it's starting to
make a believer out of me.
- The guy we're going to
see was also attacked.
- By what?
The turkey roasting in the oven?
- Yeah.
- All right.
(door thudding)
(wings flapping)
- [Man] I've spent most of
my life hunting animals,
but now it's their turn.
I am the target.
I saw your broadcast about the man
who was attacked by his chickens.
I think there might be a link.
- But that was on the
other side of the world.
- Birds invented flying, remember?
And who knows how they communicate
with a different species.
I really don't know,
but since I was attacked I get
a feeling that I'm being watched.
There's always a flock
of doves following me
as if I were a marked man.
- Do you see any doves out there?
- Believe me, they are
watching us right now!
- Do you think since your attack
you've created a fear and
maybe you're giving off
some vibrations provoking
the birds into attacking?
- Birds just don't cluster
and follow someone around like that.
It seems organized.
Like these birds are on
a recon preparing a war.
Imagine that!
Billions of birds at war with mankind.
You think I'm talking nonsense.
(fire crackling)
I'm not crazy.
There was a town that was
attacked about 30 years ago.
I know two of the survivors.
I am sure even you would be horrified
by the stories they can tell you.
- Where are they?
- They live in Rome.
- Could you put us in contact with them?
Maybe this would help give
some credibility to your story.
- [Man] Sure.
- Looks like we're off to Rome.
(light dramatic music)
(dove cooing)
- Some things you can't forget.
- This is really hard for me to believe,
but I think this is something that should
be brought to the public's attention.
Something that could
be a possible disaster.
Usually birds are thought
to be harmless creatures,
and what you're saying
contradicts all that.
- Well, they sure didn't behave that way.
That time, at least, you know.
They seemed to be organized,
like it was planned.
- Like they were acting on
some kind of intelligence?
- Like tactics.
They'd fly, then regroup,
and attack again.
They always hit whoever was
wounded or seemed the weakest.
(light dramatic music)
- Oh.
(woman giggles)
(doves cooing)
(wings flapping)
(woman screams)
- It was horrible.
Every time I remember
anything about those birds.
I just can't help it.
- I guess what Susan
and I have come to feel
is exactly as the birds felt.
Hate.
- Do you think it was hate
or an instinct to survive?
- Hey, I'm asking the questions here.
Hate or an instinct to survive?
- Possibly the chance of survival
is that the crisis, the way
man contaminates everything.
- So what you're saying
is their natural instincts
led them to defend their
natural ecological balance?
A last effort for the
survival of their species?
- One other things that's
hypothetical, of course,
nature has been pushed to the wall
and possibly, if they
fight back hard enough,
a little balance will be restored.
- Not if the contamination
has gone too far.
- What happened to us is
what's happening to others.
Seems like a clear warning.
- A fight to the end no holds barred.
(light dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(engine rumbling)
(engine rumbling)
(wings flapping)
- Remember the park I told
you about in New York?
Well, this is it.
I used to play here when I was your age.
Hey, go up there, let me get
a shot of you with the birds.
(wings flapping)
Okay, Junior, come over here, okay?
Now look, just place yourself right here,
I'm gonna take a good photograph.
Right here, right here.
Good, wait just one moment.
(wings flapping)
(light dramatic music)
Honey, come over here,
I wanna take a picture
with you and the kids.
- [Woman] All right.

- [Reporter] Finally in the news today,
and this has to be in the
believe it or not department,
it seems that a priest from
a small mountain community
drowned in a lake where he was fishing.
Not so strange.
However, two eye witnesses claim they saw
a large flock of wild
ducks attack the priest
causing him to lose his balance
and fall in--
- Shit, the world's
got bird fever.
- [Reporter] Coincidentally,
from Acapulco, Mexico--
(upbeat music)
- This has to be some kind of weird joke.
Chickens, canaries,
ducks, give me a break.
- Oh, look at those chickens over there.
Now, if they were my buddies being roasted
with a skewer up their ass,
I'd be a little upset too.
- I'd like to put a skewer up some
of those executives back at the office.
(light dramatic music)
(phone ringing)
(dove cooing)
- Hello?
- Hi, Grandpa.
- Hi, beautiful.
How are you?
- Fine, Grandpa, how's my horse?
- He's fine, my love.
He misses you very much.
You have to tell your
mom to bring you over
so you can ride him.
- Okay, I think we're going tomorrow.
Here's Mom, bye.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, Sharon, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I feel real good.
Perfect.
- Oh, that's super, Daddy.
Look, tomorrow's Cathy's
birthday and I thought maybe
(hawk screeching)
we could have a party
for her at your place.
Just a few kids from her school.
Nothing real big, don't worry.
I'll bring everything, hm?
- Okay, hun.
See you tomorrow.
- Bye, Dad.
(hawk screeching)
(light dramatic music)
- Well, well, you little bitches.
Nature may be changing, but not that much.
You are not all on the same
side, you bloodthirsty...
You're just like us.
You won't surprise me again.
(bird cawing)
Welcome home.
(gun banging)
(light music)
- A body like that and brains.
Men don't have a chance.
(Vanessa giggles)
- I think the champagnes getting cold.
- You mean hot?
- Yeah, hot.
(lips smacking)
I'm getting thirsty.
- All right.
Me, too.
Well, let's drink.
To being together and
to the start of something big, huh?
- Yeah.
(Vanessa giggles)
(wings flapping)
(light dramatic music)
(doves cooing)
(crickets chirping)
(tapping)
- What the hell is that?
Go and see.
- Be careful.
- I will, don't worry.
(light dramatic music)
Who is it?
Who is it!
- I don't see anything.
- God damn it.
(crickets chirping)
There is nothing out there.
(wings flapping)
(woman screaming)
(man groaning)
(wings flapping)
(doves cooing)
(both screaming)
(doves cooing)
(lips smacking)
(soft moaning)
(phone ringing)
- I'll be right back,
don't drown on me, okay?
Here.
(water trickling)
- What a dismal thing to have to share
the planet with assholes who have
to call at a moment like this!
- Hello?
What!
Right.
Yes, we'll be right there.
(water trickling)
- Sorry, buddy.
Maybe next time, huh?
- [Woman] Calling nine
Roger, southbound seven,
southbound seven.
Meet southbound--
- Torn to pieces.
That's how we found him.
(birds chirping)
- [Dispatch] 10-4, 33, sir.
All units come to me,
standby 41155 go ahead.
- The scene is macabre.
The bodies of Arthur and Olivia Neilson
were found bloodied and mutilated.
The victims of doves.
The same white doves that have always been
a universal symbol for peace.
And they have now declared a war.
A mysterious war against mankind.
(engine rumbling)
(upbeat music)
- Why don't we park
somewhere on the beach?
You know, watch the ocean.
- Are you sure you only
wanna watch the ocean?
- Well, that depends.
Do you fool around?

- [Woman] Well, I guess
we better stretch our legs
while Daddy changes the tire.
Come on, kids.
- [Boy] This trip is boring.
I'm gonna go play!
- No jack.
Where's the god damn jack?
Your damn brother never
returned it, that's where it is.
- Yes, but it's your own fault.
Why did you lend it to him?
- Christmas spirit.
Remember last Christmas?
- Okay, okay.
What do we do now?
- Wait.
Wait until someone comes around and helps.
- Hey, Dad!
There's a camper down the beach.
Maybe they have a jack.
- Okay, you go down and ask them.
- I'm gonna get my jeans, mama.
- Fortunately they're more like me
and not like someone from your family.
- Don't bitch at me.
You're the ass that forgot
to get the jack back.
- No, I didn't forget, I
just thought your brother
had the decency to return it.
- You know what?
- No, what?
- You're a real asshole.
(door thudding)
(light dramatic music)
- Hey, is anybody there?
- Hey, is anyone there?
- Shut up, let me do the talking.
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(kids screaming)
(engine rumbling)
- Stop whimpering.
And you, too, okay?
I know what we saw was
awful, but it's over,
so try to get a hold of yourselves.
- You'll simmer down.
The kids are frightened,
and with your shouting
you're making them more upset.
- I'm sorry.
We have to get a hold of ourselves.
(engine rumbling)
- Watch it!
(tires screeching)
(light dramatic music)
My God.
- I don't know what the hell is going on,
but we gotta get outta here.
(engine rumbling)
(wings flapping)
(engine rumbling)
(wings flapping)
- Shit, we're stuck.
- Take care.
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(doves cooing)
- Lock yourselves in.
I gotta get some help.
- You stay here with us,
or we'll all go with you.
- Okay.
Let's go to the other side of the inlet.
We'll be safer there, come on.
Outside.
Hurry up.
Come on.
Carmen.
(door thudding)
Come here, come here.
(wings flapping)
Hurry up.
(door thudding)
(light dramatic music)
(muffled talking)
(bird cawing)
What was that, what?
Is anybody here?
(light dramatic music)
Is anybody here?
(bird cawing)
(birds warbling)
(birds chirping)
- Doctor Murayama, as you know,
birds have recently been responsible
for many unusual and violent
incidents all over the world.
Have you noticed any
strange forms of behavior
here in the aviary?
- Well, in this case, the birds react
in an entirely different manner.
They don't have total liberty,
and this lack of freedom can lead
into many different responses.
One of them could be the
unwillingness to mate.
This is a serious problem we have here.
- [Vanessa] Are these birds endangered
because of the losses
of the natural habitats?
- Basically, yes.
Man has gone about his
business without regard
to the natural ecological balances.
In many cases, the migratory
species suffers the most.
- Peter!
Okay, you were saying, Doctor?
- For instance, many species
are hatched in one place,
and then in winter they
migrate to another.
This is a built in program that leads them
and they must go back to the same place
in order to reproduce.
But when man invades and
pollutes their nesting sites,
the species tended to disappear.
Because they have no other place to go,
it's not in their program, so to speak.
- But they're having
conservation measures.
- Yes, many, but for each one we protect
hundreds are destroyed.
Man's progress is too rapid
and protection too slow.
So many birds are subject to extinction.
That is, of course, if many
doesn't destroy himself first.
- This is Vanessa Cartwright
reporting for Mega Vision.
(light music)

(door thudding)

- Help!
Help, please!
Please help me!
Please, please, can you come help me?
Hey!
Help!
Help, please!
Help me!
(door thudding)
(wings flapping)
(birds cawing)
(birds screeching)
(birds screeching)
(doves cooing)
- I'm back.
Fucking birds flapping everywhere.
What the hell happened to you?
- The birds.
- We gotta find a place to hide.
- Under the pier.
If they attack we can
dive under the water.
This way.
(heavy breathing)

It's out there.

- We're not in Spain
on a holiday, you know.
What's happening here
is really incredible.
- You wanna hear something
incredible, listen to this.
We've been getting calls and telexes
from news agencies all over the globe.
And they've all got the same stories.
- What?
I can't hear you very well.
- I said that all kinds of
birds are attacking people
in countries all over the world.
So, what you've got isn't news.
All my information is going on the air.
Before you get back with your story.
- Forget about your damn
show and who's on first.
What's going on here,
we've gotta do something.
We've gotta warn them or
help them or do something.
Damn it!
(doves cooing)
(light dramatic music)
- How'd it go, did you get through?
- Yeah, I got through.
- So, what'd he say?
- A lot more than you could imagine.
Would you do me a favor?
- Sure, anything.
- [Vanessa] It's been a long time
since I've been in a church.
Would you go with me?
(birds chirping)
(muffled talking)
(leaves rustling)
(wings flapping)
- Make sure I stay.
(birds squawking)
(light dramatic music)
(sirens wailing)
(door thudding)
(muffled talking)
- With our checks the
radar has picked up spots
of millions of birds
heading in this direction.
- Get me a brandy.
- The same here.
- Mister mayor, what do you plan to do?
- Evacuate.
We'll evacuate the town and take everybody
to a safe place.
It won't be easy, people
are bound to panic.
- These two areas here and here
have already been attacked.
- [Peter] When?
- This morning at dawn.
- People panicked and tried
to get away in their cars.
The roads were fogged in and there was
a chain reaction of collisions.
The roads are blocked.
We have helicopters and rescue squads
evacuating the survivors.
- My God, what's happening?
- We're in a very
vulnerable position here.
- You mean we're sitting ducks.
- That's not funny, Peter.
- It's not meant to be.
We can't just sit here.
I never believed this, but
we've gotta do something
and we've gotta do something fast.
We can't just sit here drinking!
- We don't have time to wait
for help, that's for sure.
- The birds.
The birds banded together, right?
- We all know that.
- So what we need to do is
concentrate the population.
Our strength is in numbers.
- Yes, that could be.
- It's our best defense.
- It's our only chance.
- Well, Benitez, alert everybody
and bring them together.
And use all available transportation.
- The roads are blocked, remember?
- Those birds certainly
know what they're doing.
- I saw a train when we first arrived.
Is it still here?
- I'll check on it.
- I hope so, 'cause if it
isn't we've gotta do something
and we've gotta do something fast.
(horn honking)
(train rumbling)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- [Vanessa] Please,
keep the window closed.
Don't even peak outside.
- [Woman] This is real dumb.
I don't believe any of
this bird stuff anyway.
- [Guy] Hey, call Colonel
Sanders and he'll take care
of these birds and we'll
have them prepared for lunch.
- Well, the only lunch they're
gonna have is us, penguin brain.
Please, everyone, listen to me.
Keep the windows closed,
draw the curtains,
and don't open them no
matter what happens.
I repeat.
Keep the windows closed.
(train rumbling)
(wings flapping)
(light dramatic music)
(birds squawking)
(muffled kids talking)
- I don't like the look of those birds.
There's just too many of them.
Get in the house.
(wings flapping)
- What could they possibly do to us?
- Go!
You heard me, get inside!
(birds squawking)
(light dramatic music)
- Okay, kids, we're gonna
have a party inside the house.
(wings flapping)
- Kids, hurry!
Get in the house!
(birds squawking)
Hurry, get in the house!
Hurry, get in the house.

You and me are going to make a run for it.
Okay, let's go.

- Patty?
Where's Patty?
Patty?
Patty!
Dad!
Patty, run!
Patty, come here!

Oh my God!

(train humming)
- Large flocks over there.
(birds squawking)
- They've been trailing
us for a long time now.
- They won't attack no
train, that's for sure.
- I wouldn't be too sure about that.
From what I've seen of these birds
is they might just be
waiting for the right moment.
- Maybe they just found it.
(sheep baaing)
(horn honking)
- Please keep the windows closed.
(horn honking)
(sheep baaing)
- We'll never get out
of here at this rate,
we've gotta move these
sheep outta the way.
- How do we do that?
- Can't we just push them out
of the way with the train?
- Too many of them.
(sheep baaing)
(train rumbling)
(birds squawking)
- [Man] Well, why are we stopping?
- Yes, we're herded in here
like cows to slaughter.
I don't like this one bit.
- Yes, well, this isn't
supposed to be fun.
- I know that, but why are we stopping?
- I'd like to know myself.
As soon as I found out, I'll let you know.
Please keep the windows closed.
- Who gave you the authority
to give orders around here?
Who do you think you are?
- Just someone who doesn't
wanna become bird seed.
If you don't like it,
you do what you wanna do.
I'm sure the birds would love to meet you.
(sheep baaing)
- Then we'll cut the fences and give them
more room to move out.
Do you got anything I could do that with?
- All I've got are these pliers,
but they'll go through all right.
- Fine!
(sheep baaing)
(birds squawking)
(wings flapping)
No, no, no!
The guns won't do any good
if they decide to attack!
Go down the tracks, keep the
sheep from going that way.
I'll get the fence!
- Be careful, Peter!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- Come on, let's go, come on!
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, let's go!
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Ya ya, look alive!
Let's go!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Ya!
Get outta here!
Listen, come on, come on, come on!
(dog barking)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Yah, come on, come on, come on, let's go!
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, let's

Get outta here, let's

Let's go, come on!
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
(train rumbling)
(glass shattering)
All right, all right,
everybody out of this car.
They know their targets and won't stop
till they've broken in.
Let's go, come on, out!
Everybody, out, out, out, out!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- [Woman] Someone help me, please!
(muffled talking)
(dramatic music)
Somebody help!
(light dramatic music)
Someone help me, I'm pretty
sure they're almost here.
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
(muffled talking)
- [Man] Get the windows!
(man screaming)
Get away!
- Cut this car loose before
they break that glass!
(metal screeching)
- And here's one for him.
And one for me.
(booming)
(glass clattering)
- Right into their own trap.
(birds cooing)
Looks like we'll get some peace now.
(fire sizzling)
For awhile, anyway.
(light dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- Momma, Momma, I think
they're coming again!
- You've been a very brave girl, Cathy.
Now, I need you to be
brave just a little longer.
We have to keep the fire going, okay?
(thunder rumbling)
(light dramatic music)
(bird cooing)

I'm going to have a look.
- Are they dead?
- I don't know.

Come on, it's our only chance.
Let's go!

You can come out now!
Come!
Come!
(woman groans)
We're getting out of here.
(light dramatic music)
(birds cooing)
(dramatic music)
(woman gasps)
(gate squeaks)
(horse neighing)
Everybody inside the car.
Hurry!
Hurry!
- I think the birds are gone.
Hey, they're leaving!
- [Boy] Sharon!
- Kids!
Hurry!

Hurry!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Hurry.
(engine sputtering)
(engine rumbling)
(light dramatic music)
- In all parts of the
world the birds appear
to have returned to their normal behavior.
All attacks have ceased
and we seem to be at peace.
The nightmare ended the
same way it started:
suddenly and inexplicably.
Perhaps they knew they could never defeat
the most cruel killer of all; man.
Or perhaps their message was sent;
a message to care for this
fragile sphere we call Earth.
To nurture and share the
riches with all God's creatures
if we are to survive.
Or maybe it was a rehearsal for some kind
of natural master plan.
A plan to discard any and all who disrupts
nature's perfect harmony.
A plan to choose who will survive.

- What is this?
- Great stuff.
Fantastic shot of that bird blowing up.
- I wish you could fly.
Listen, when are you gonna give
me some decent assignments?
I'm a journalist, not a sideshow worker.
And this is ridiculous.
A story about attack chickens?
I'm not gonna do it, I won't do it.
- It'll make great copy.
The attack of the killer chickens.
You do that kind of stuff well.
- I majored in journalism in
college, not animal husbandry.
Give me some news to cover.
- Soon.
These specialty items get good response
and our audiences enjoy
watching you do them.
- Enjoy watching me make
a fool out of myself.
- Just do this one.
I'll get you some hard news
to cover, I promise you.
Anyway, if you don't I'll
can your pretty little ass.
- You have such class.
- I'm giving a party at my place tonight.
Wanna come?
- Sorry, I only have time for chickens.

Come on, come on.

- 80 over 140.
Excellent, much better.
It looks like this weather and the rest

Well, if you need anything just call me.

- It happened here.
His coops are filled with happy chickens.
Harmless creatures as
though it would seem.
Then one day for no apparent reason
they launched an attack on their owner.
The feathered mutiny spread
and these turkeys joined the fray,
and it's not even close to Thanksgiving.
This would've been dismissed as a sick,
as a single freak incident,
except for one thing.
We'll be right back to
tell you all about it.
Stay tuned.
Cut.
(Peter chuckles)
It's not funny, Peter.
I'm a grown woman, I shouldn't
have to be doing this.
- Hey, man, we all gotta make a living.
(Peter laughs)
- Thanks a lot, jerk.
Roll.
So, what happened next:
Mr. and Mrs. Neilson
were just coming out of church
when a new feathered army attacked them.
Flocks, wild birds, and doves swooped down
on them from the trees.
- I had been in business for 22 years.
Checked the coops every
morning, I'd clean up.
Water and feed the birds,
nothing ever happens.
But I don't know why it was different.
- Okay, cut.
(birds chirping)
Okay, action.
Come in.
Do you know why?
- I'm not really sure.
The chickens got together
like they were following
some kind of orders.
Just like that, they jumped
on me real angry-like.
Lucky I had a broom with
me and I beat them off.
I was close to the door and I backed out.
I've never seen anything like it.
I really was scared.
- And these attacks were
repeated by wild birds?
- That's right.
Any bird that sees me
jumps on me just like that.
- What Mr. Neilson is
saying is hard to believe,
so we brought this
along for an experiment.
A small, harmless canary.
The delight of many households.
In fact, this canary was
bred and hatched in a cage.
Let's see what happens.
(light dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(engine rumbling)
- Control tower, this is
November seven three four
delta foxtrot, requesting
permission for landing
on runway nine, we're over.
- Negative, number seven
three four delta foxtrot.
It's impossible to land,
there's a huge flock
of birds flying over the airstrip.
They've already caused two crashes.
We can't risk it, over.
- What's the nearest auxiliary runway?
I've got about 30 minutes
worth of fuel, over.
- You've got the Air Ranch Airstrip
north-northeast from
your present position.
It should be well within your fuel range.
It's the only strip that's
operative at this time.
Do you read me?
Over.
- Go ahead, tower, I read you.
- The radar indicates
two large masses of birds
directly in front of you, over over.
(engine rumbling)
(light dramatic music)
(birds thudding)
- Mayday, mayday.
No, I have a collision,
I can't control the--
(clattering)
I'm in a spin, I'm out of control!
Hey, hey, pull out, you gotta
help me, I'm, I'm going down.
I'm going down!
(man screaming)
(engine rumbling)
(booming)
(light dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(wing flapping)
(door thudding)
- It's really crazy.
If I hadn't seen that canary
I never would've believed it.
- Well it's starting to
make a believer out of me.
- The guy we're going to
see was also attacked.
- By what?
The turkey roasting in the oven?
- Yeah.
- All right.
(door thudding)
(wings flapping)
- [Man] I've spent most of
my life hunting animals,
but now it's their turn.
I am the target.
I saw your broadcast about the man
who was attacked by his chickens.
I think there might be a link.
- But that was on the
other side of the world.
- Birds invented flying, remember?
And who knows how they communicate
with a different species.
I really don't know,
but since I was attacked I get
a feeling that I'm being watched.
There's always a flock
of doves following me
as if I were a marked man.
- Do you see any doves out there?
- Believe me, they are
watching us right now!
- Do you think since your attack
you've created a fear and
maybe you're giving off
some vibrations provoking
the birds into attacking?
- Birds just don't cluster
and follow someone around like that.
It seems organized.
Like these birds are on
a recon preparing a war.
Imagine that!
Billions of birds at war with mankind.
You think I'm talking nonsense.
(fire crackling)
I'm not crazy.
There was a town that was
attacked about 30 years ago.
I know two of the survivors.
I am sure even you would be horrified
by the stories they can tell you.
- Where are they?
- They live in Rome.
- Could you put us in contact with them?
Maybe this would help give
some credibility to your story.
- [Man] Sure.
- Looks like we're off to Rome.
(light dramatic music)
(dove cooing)
- Some things you can't forget.
- This is really hard for me to believe,
but I think this is something that should
be brought to the public's attention.
Something that could
be a possible disaster.
Usually birds are thought
to be harmless creatures,
and what you're saying
contradicts all that.
- Well, they sure didn't behave that way.
That time, at least, you know.
They seemed to be organized,
like it was planned.
- Like they were acting on
some kind of intelligence?
- Like tactics.
They'd fly, then regroup,
and attack again.
They always hit whoever was
wounded or seemed the weakest.
(light dramatic music)
- Oh.
(woman giggles)
(doves cooing)
(wings flapping)
(woman screams)
- It was horrible.
Every time I remember
anything about those birds.
I just can't help it.
- I guess what Susan
and I have come to feel
is exactly as the birds felt.
Hate.
- Do you think it was hate
or an instinct to survive?
- Hey, I'm asking the questions here.
Hate or an instinct to survive?
- Possibly the chance of survival
is that the crisis, the way
man contaminates everything.
- So what you're saying
is their natural instincts
led them to defend their
natural ecological balance?
A last effort for the
survival of their species?
- One other things that's
hypothetical, of course,
nature has been pushed to the wall
and possibly, if they
fight back hard enough,
a little balance will be restored.
- Not if the contamination
has gone too far.
- What happened to us is
what's happening to others.
Seems like a clear warning.
- A fight to the end no holds barred.
(light dramatic music)

- Remember the park I told
you about in New York?
Well, this is it.
I used to play here when I was your age.
Hey, go up there, let me get
a shot of you with the birds.
(wings flapping)
Okay, Junior, come over here, okay?
Now look, just place yourself right here,
I'm gonna take a good photograph.
Right here, right here.
Good, wait just one moment.

Honey, come over here,
I wanna take a picture

- [Reporter] Finally in the news today,
and this has to be in the
believe it or not department,
it seems that a priest from
a small mountain community
drowned in a lake where he was fishing.
Not so strange.
However, two eye witnesses claim they saw
a large flock of wild
ducks attack the priest
causing him to lose his balance
and fall in--
- Shit, the world's
got bird fever.
- [Reporter] Coincidentally,
from Acapulco, Mexico--
(upbeat music)
- This has to be some kind of weird joke.
Chickens, canaries,
ducks, give me a break.
- Oh, look at those chickens over there.
Now, if they were my buddies being roasted
with a skewer up their ass,
I'd be a little upset too.
- I'd like to put a skewer up some
of those executives back at the office.
(light dramatic music)
(phone ringing)
(dove cooing)
- Hello?
- Hi, Grandpa.
- Hi, beautiful.
How are you?
- Fine, Grandpa, how's my horse?
- He's fine, my love.
He misses you very much.
You have to tell your
mom to bring you over
so you can ride him.
- Okay, I think we're going tomorrow.
Here's Mom, bye.
- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, Sharon, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I feel real good.
Perfect.
- Oh, that's super, Daddy.
Look, tomorrow's Cathy's
birthday and I thought maybe
(hawk screeching)
we could have a party
for her at your place.
Just a few kids from her school.
Nothing real big, don't worry.
I'll bring everything, hm?
- Okay, hun.
See you tomorrow.
- Bye, Dad.
(hawk screeching)
(light dramatic music)
- Well, well, you little bitches.
Nature may be changing, but not that much.
You are not all on the same
side, you bloodthirsty...
You're just like us.
You won't surprise me again.
(bird cawing)
Welcome home.
(gun banging)
(light music)
- A body like that and brains.
Men don't have a chance.
(Vanessa giggles)
- I think the champagnes getting cold.
- You mean hot?
- Yeah, hot.
(lips smacking)
I'm getting thirsty.
- All right.
Me, too.
Well, let's drink.
To being together and
to the start of something big, huh?
- Yeah.

the planet with assholes who have
to call at a moment like this!
- Hello?
What!
Right.
Yes, we'll be right there.
(water trickling)
- Sorry, buddy.
Maybe next time, huh?
- [Woman] Calling nine
Roger, southbound seven,
southbound seven.
Meet southbound--
- Torn to pieces.
That's how we found him.
(birds chirping)
- [Dispatch] 10-4, 33, sir.
All units come to me,
standby 41155 go ahead.
- The scene is macabre.
The bodies of Arthur and Olivia Neilson
were found bloodied and mutilated.
The victims of doves.
The same white doves that have always been
a universal symbol for peace.
And they have now declared a war.
A mysterious war against mankind.
(engine rumbling)
(upbeat music)
- Why don't we park
somewhere on the beach?
You know, watch the ocean.
- Are you sure you only
wanna watch the ocean?

we better stretch our legs
while Daddy changes the tire.
Come on, kids.
- [Boy] This trip is boring.
I'm gonna go play!
- No jack.
Where's the god damn jack?
Your damn brother never
returned it, that's where it is.
- Yes, but it's your own fault.
Why did you lend it to him?
- Christmas spirit.
Remember last Christmas?
- Okay, okay.
What do we do now?
- Wait.
Wait until someone comes around and helps.
- Hey, Dad!
There's a camper down the beach.
Maybe they have a jack.
- Okay, you go down and ask them.
- I'm gonna get my jeans, mama.
- Fortunately they're more like me
and not like someone from your family.
- Don't bitch at me.
You're the ass that forgot
to get the jack back.
- No, I didn't forget, I
just thought your brother
had the decency to return it.
- You know what?
- No, what?
- You're a real asshole.

- Hey, is anyone there?

- Stop whimpering.
And you, too, okay?
I know what we saw was
awful, but it's over,
so try to get a hold of yourselves.
- You'll simmer down.
The kids are frightened,
and with your shouting
you're making them more upset.
- I'm sorry.
We have to get a hold of ourselves.
(engine rumbling)
- Watch it!
(tires screeching)
(light dramatic music)
My God.
- I don't know what the hell is going on,
but we gotta get outta here.

We'll be safer there, come on.
Outside.

- Doctor Murayama, as you know,
birds have recently been responsible
for many unusual and violent
incidents all over the world.
Have you noticed any
strange forms of behavior
here in the aviary?
- Well, in this case, the birds react
in an entirely different manner.
They don't have total liberty,
and this lack of freedom can lead
into many different responses.
One of them could be the
unwillingness to mate.
This is a serious problem we have here.
- [Vanessa] Are these birds endangered
because of the losses
of the natural habitats?
- Basically, yes.
Man has gone about his
business without regard
to the natural ecological balances.
In many cases, the migratory
species suffers the most.
- Peter!
Okay, you were saying, Doctor?
- For instance, many species
are hatched in one place,
and then in winter they
migrate to another.
This is a built in program that leads them
and they must go back to the same place
in order to reproduce.
But when man invades and
pollutes their nesting sites,
the species tended to disappear.
Because they have no other place to go,
it's not in their program, so to speak.
- But they're having
conservation measures.
- Yes, many, but for each one we protect
hundreds are destroyed.
Man's progress is too rapid
and protection too slow.
So many birds are subject to extinction.
That is, of course, if many
doesn't destroy himself first.
- This is Vanessa Cartwright
reporting for Mega Vision.

- We're not in Spain
on a holiday, you know.
What's happening here
is really incredible.
- You wanna hear something
incredible, listen to this.
We've been getting calls and telexes
from news agencies all over the globe.
And they've all got the same stories.
- What?
I can't hear you very well.
- I said that all kinds of
birds are attacking people
in countries all over the world.
So, what you've got isn't news.
All my information is going on the air.
Before you get back with your story.
- Forget about your damn
show and who's on first.
What's going on here,
we've gotta do something.
We've gotta warn them or
help them or do something.
Damn it!
(doves cooing)
(light dramatic music)
- How'd it go, did you get through?
- Yeah, I got through.
- So, what'd he say?
- A lot more than you could imagine.
Would you do me a favor?

- [Vanessa] It's been a long time
since I've been in a church.
Would you go with me?

- With our checks the
radar has picked up spots
of millions of birds
heading in this direction.
- Get me a brandy.
- The same here.
- Mister mayor, what do you plan to do?
- Evacuate.
We'll evacuate the town and take everybody
to a safe place.
It won't be easy, people
are bound to panic.
- These two areas here and here
have already been attacked.
- [Peter] When?
- This morning at dawn.
- People panicked and tried
to get away in their cars.
The roads were fogged in and there was
a chain reaction of collisions.
The roads are blocked.
We have helicopters and rescue squads
evacuating the survivors.
- My God, what's happening?
- We're in a very
vulnerable position here.
- You mean we're sitting ducks.
- That's not funny, Peter.
- It's not meant to be.
We can't just sit here.
I never believed this, but
we've gotta do something
and we've gotta do something fast.
We can't just sit here drinking!
- We don't have time to wait
for help, that's for sure.
- The birds.
The birds banded together, right?
- We all know that.
- So what we need to do is
concentrate the population.
Our strength is in numbers.
- Yes, that could be.
- It's our best defense.
- It's our only chance.
- Well, Benitez, alert everybody
and bring them together.
And use all available transportation.
- The roads are blocked, remember?
- Those birds certainly
know what they're doing.
- I saw a train when we first arrived.
Is it still here?
- I'll check on it.
- I hope so, 'cause if it
isn't we've gotta do something
and we've gotta do something fast.

(birds squawking)
- [Vanessa] Please,
keep the window closed.
Don't even peak outside.
- [Woman] This is real dumb.
I don't believe any of
this bird stuff anyway.
- [Guy] Hey, call Colonel
Sanders and he'll take care
of these birds and we'll
have them prepared for lunch.
- Well, the only lunch they're
gonna have is us, penguin brain.
Please, everyone, listen to me.
Keep the windows closed,
draw the curtains,
and don't open them no
matter what happens.
I repeat.
Keep the windows closed.
(train rumbling)
(wings flapping)
(light dramatic music)
(birds squawking)
(muffled kids talking)
- I don't like the look of those birds.
There's just too many of them.
Get in the house.
(wings flapping)
- What could they possibly do to us?
- Go!
You heard me, get inside!
(birds squawking)
(light dramatic music)
- Okay, kids, we're gonna
have a party inside the house.
(wings flapping)
- Kids, hurry!
Get in the house!
(birds squawking)
Hurry, get in the house!
Hurry, get in the house.

(birds squawking)
Okay, honey.
You and me are going to make a run for it.
Okay, let's go.
(birds squawking)
(light dramatic music)
(girl crying)
(man groaning)
- Patty?
Where's Patty?
Patty?
Patty!
Dad!
Patty, run!
Patty, come here!
Dad!
Dad!
Oh my God!
(birds squawking)
Dad!
Dad!
(woman screaming)
Dad!
Dad!
(woman screaming)
(dramatic music)
Cathy?
Cathy!
David, quick, come here!
(thudding)
(light dramatic music)
- The bedroom window's open,
I better go up and close it!
(glass shattering)
(dramatic music)
(woman screaming)
(girl screaming)
- Cathy?
Cathy!
Cathy!
(light dramatic music)
(girl crying)
(woman screaming)
I'm coming!

(birds squawking)
(horn honking)
(train humming)
- Large flocks over there.
(birds squawking)
- They've been trailing
us for a long time now.
- They won't attack no
train, that's for sure.
- I wouldn't be too sure about that.
From what I've seen of these birds
is they might just be
waiting for the right moment.
- Maybe they just found it.
(sheep baaing)
(horn honking)
- Please keep the windows closed.
(horn honking)
(sheep baaing)
- We'll never get out
of here at this rate,
we've gotta move these
sheep outta the way.
- How do we do that?
- Can't we just push them out
of the way with the train?
- Too many of them.
(sheep baaing)
(train rumbling)
(birds squawking)
- [Man] Well, why are we stopping?
- Yes, we're herded in here
like cows to slaughter.
I don't like this one bit.
- Yes, well, this isn't
supposed to be fun.
- I know that, but why are we stopping?
- I'd like to know myself.
As soon as I found out, I'll let you know.
Please keep the windows closed.
- Who gave you the authority
to give orders around here?
Who do you think you are?
- Just someone who doesn't
wanna become bird seed.
If you don't like it,
you do what you wanna do.
I'm sure the birds would love to meet you.
(sheep baaing)
- Then we'll cut the fences and give them
more room to move out.
Do you got anything I could do that with?
- All I've got are these pliers,
but they'll go through all right.
- Fine!
(sheep baaing)
(birds squawking)
(wings flapping)
No, no, no!
The guns won't do any good
if they decide to attack!
Go down the tracks, keep the
sheep from going that way.
I'll get the fence!
- Be careful, Peter!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- Come on, let's go, come on!
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, let's go!
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Ya ya, look alive!
Let's go!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Ya!
Get outta here!
Listen, come on, come on, come on!
(dog barking)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Yah, come on, come on, come on, let's go!
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, let's
go, let's go, let's go.
Get outta here, let's
go, come on, come on!
Let's go, come on!
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
(train rumbling)
(glass shattering)
All right, all right,
everybody out of this car.
They know their targets and won't stop
till they've broken in.
Let's go, come on, out!
Everybody, out, out, out, out!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- [Woman] Someone help me, please!
(muffled talking)
(dramatic music)
Somebody help!
(light dramatic music)
Someone help me, I'm pretty
sure they're almost here.
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
(muffled talking)
- [Man] Get the windows!
(man screaming)
Get away!
- Cut this car loose before
they break that glass!
(metal screeching)
- And here's one for him.
And one for me.
(booming)
(glass clattering)
- Right into their own trap.
(birds cooing)
Looks like we'll get some peace now.
(fire sizzling)
For awhile, anyway.
(light dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
- Momma, Momma, I think
they're coming again!
- You've been a very brave girl, Cathy.
Now, I need you to be
brave just a little longer.
We have to keep the fire going, okay?
(thunder rumbling)
(light dramatic music)
(bird cooing)
(horse neighing)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Stay close to Patty.
I'm going to have a look.
- Are they dead?
- I don't know.
(light dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
(suspenseful music)
Come on, it's our only chance.
Let's go!
(dramatic music)
(birds cooing)
(dramatic music)
(wings flapping)
(suspenseful music)
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Kids?
Kids?
Where are you?
Kids?
(door creaking)
(woman gasps)
Thank God you're here.
You can come out now!
Come!
Come!
(woman groans)
We're getting out of here.
(light dramatic music)
(birds cooing)
(dramatic music)
(woman gasps)
(gate squeaks)
(horse neighing)
Everybody inside the car.
Hurry!
Hurry!
- I think the birds are gone.
Hey, they're leaving!
- [Boy] Sharon!
- Kids!
Hurry!
(light dramatic music)
Hurry!
(wings flapping)
(birds squawking)
Hurry.
(engine sputtering)
(engine rumbling)
(light dramatic music)
- In all parts of the
world the birds appear
to have returned to their normal behavior.
All attacks have ceased
and we seem to be at peace.
The nightmare ended the
same way it started:
suddenly and inexplicably.
Perhaps they knew they could never defeat
the most cruel killer of all; man.
Or perhaps their message was sent;
a message to care for this
fragile sphere we call Earth.
To nurture and share the
riches with all God's creatures
if we are to survive.
Or maybe it was a rehearsal for some kind
of natural master plan.
A plan to discard any and all who disrupts
nature's perfect harmony.
A plan to choose who will survive.
