Body Snatchers (1993) - full transcript

Where do I begin?
I don't know.

I guess with the idea

that sometimes things happen
that we don't understand.

Maybe we shouldn't try
to understand those things.

My dad was assigned
to inspect

the military Southern sector
of the E.P.A.

My stepmother,
half brother, and I

had to spend two months
on the road with him.

I can tell you it's not easy
being stuck in a car

with a 6-year-old and the woman
who replaced your mom.

Then again nobody asked me
what I wanted to do.



I guess things do happen
for a reason...

Even if you don't like
what that reason is.

Come on.

My bottom
is so sore.

Fill it up,
will you?

You got a rest room?

Yes. It ain't great,
but we got one.

Which part?

Mom, can I have a soda?

Hi.

I see you're
from Washington, D.C.

Long way from home.

We sure are.

You're fast.
You're fast. You're fast.



You're scared. Good.

They're out there.

They're everywhere.

They get you
when you sleep.

They get you
when you sleep,
you hear?

Get out. Get out,
or you'll be next.

Dad! Dad!

Dad, there's
a psycho in there!

In the bathroom?

He's got a knife.

Sweetheart?

Maybe you should
let him go in first.

He's got the gun.

Marti, maybe
you'd better come
back here, honey.

Marti?

There's
nothing here.

There's no one
in there, honey.

You okay?

There's
no one there?

Marti,
are you okay?

Honey, are you
alright?

What did
he look like?

Maybe we should
call the police.

"They get you
when you sleep."

I remember thinking
he was crazy,

but I also remember thinking

we spend half
our lives asleep.

Morning, sir.

Hi. I'm Steve Malone.
I'm with the E.P.A.

General Platt's
expecting us.

One moment, please.

Follow the signs
to Sector "C."

I got it.

59. There's 3 doors,
so it should be...

Let's see.

A, B, C...
It's this--

Andy, how did
you know that was it?

He's so smart.
This kid of ours is so smart.

How did you know
it was that door?

Tie your shoelaces.
You're going to trip.

Come here.
Let me do that.

Are you sure this
is the right door?

This is it, huh?

Great.

Okay, Andy, come on.

Help me unload the car.

Come on. I'm going to
get there before you do.

Come on.

Hey, Andy,
honey, slow down.

There's only
two bedrooms.

I guess you got
to share with your brother.

Steve,
can you give me
a hand up here?

Don't work too hard.

♪♪ I ♪♪

♪♪ I want you back ♪♪

If we'd known what
was waiting for us,

we would have run,

but in the end,
it had to happen...

And so it began.

♪♪ I ♪♪

♪♪ I just can't see ♪♪♪♪

This is a restricted
area, miss.

What?

You shouldn't
be here without
security clearance.

What's up, guys?

Get in the car, babe.

I'm Jenn.

Marti. Thanks
for picking me up.

No problem.
Those guys are dicks.

What was that about?

God knows. They always
have a bug up their ass.

You learn
to ignore them.

What heinous misfortune
brings you here?

A month in hell
with my dad and his wife.

He's with the E.P.A.

EPA! Cool. Hippies
saving the planet.

Will you look
at these goons?

They actually
volunteered
for this crap.

Can you believe it?

So what are you
doing here?

Not much.
My dad runs the place.

He does?

Yep.

Mom!

Mom, I got somebody here!

Mom?

Look at this shit.

This is why
my dad's an insomniac.

He's afraid she'll burn
the fucking house down.

Mom, this is marti.
Marti, this is my mom.

Vodka. Want some?
Hmm? No?

Mom's an alcoholic.

According
to the experts,

that means
I'll be one, too.

Let's go. Come on.

Nice to meet you,
Mrs. Platt.

And the kids.

I don't know what's
wrong with the kids.

They don't treat me
like I'm their father.

They treat me like
I'm some stranger.

I don't know,
but it's...

What are you guys
doing here?

What do you want?

Oh, Steve,
you mucho mucho.

Stevie's going to get
a mucho kiss!

Is it time
for your mucho?

Eek!

No! Carol doesn't
want her mucho.

Don't! Carol doesn't
like mucho kiss.

No!

Mommy.

Hey, hi.

Hi, honey.

Did we wake you up?
I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

I had a nightmare.

Come here.
I'll give you a big hug.

A bad dream
can't hurt you.

Everybody has
bad dreams, honey.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'll take you
back to bed.

What the hell
is that?

No!

No!

Have you ever been
in the military?

No, General.

Then you know
absolutely nothing

about biological
and chemical warfare,
do you?

It would be a hell
of a lot more dangerous

to start moving
this stuff around

than it would be
to leave it alone.

If these chemicals
are stored safely,

then you have nothing
to worry about.

I have nothing
to worry about.

You want to
explain that?

Come in here, captain.

Yes, sir.

Escort Dr. Malone
around the base.

Let him take his samples
and run tests.

Then do whatever
the hell you have to do

to expedite
his departure.

Mr. Malone.

Mr. Malone.

Good afternoon,
sir.

Can I help you?

Yeah. Give us some space.
I want to talk to him.

One second.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Malone,
I'm Major Collins,

head of the base
medical corps.

Hold on a sec.

Hi.

I wanted to meet you
at headquarters

and extend my cooperation
to you personally.

Well, thank you.

I'm very interested
in the kinds of effects

exposure to these chemicals
can have on people.

Uh, effects.

You got a lot of
chemicals on this base.

They're all
pretty toxic.

Effects physically?
They could be devastating.

I'm not talking
about physically.

I'm referring
to psychological effects.

I'm not
following you.

Can they affect the...
Brain patterns?

Can they interfere with
chemoneurological processes?

Can they foster
psychoses, paranoias,

narcophobias?

Well, I'm a chemist.

I'm not a psychiatrist.
I don't know.

Simply...

Can they alter
a person's view of reality?

I'll be Frank with you.

I'm seeing people
at the infirmary

who are exhibiting...

Extreme delusional
fixations.

People...

Afraid to sleep,

people afraid to...

Deal with family members,
afraid of family members,

exhibiting...

Paranoia about others,

about other people's
identities,

people afraid
of themselves.

All of a sudden,

I got a camp full
of very displaced people.

I don't know what
you're seeing,

but it's not the PCBs.

That phenomena,

it's just not part
of the symptomology.

I need you to keep me
up-to-date on your research.

I'm worried
about these people.

Better take
a vacation, doc.

We have equipment
for Dr. Malone, miss.

Oh, okay.

Come in.

Let's go.

What are you doing
in my dad's bedroom?

Delivering the boxes,
ma'am.

Are you through?

Good.

Very good.

Hmm.

Good work.

Very good work.

Very good.

Okay, all done?

Everyone,
hold your picture up.

Very good.

Good.

Very good.

Very good.

When it's over,
let's do it again.

When it's over,
let's do it again.

Hey, little man!

Whoa!

Hey, little man.

Hey.
What are you doing?

I'm running away.

What from?

The bad people.

The bad people?

Come on.
We'll take you home.

Your folks
in the military?

Nope.

Sector "C," Petey.

Look! There's my bike.

That's your bike?
Petey, pull it over.

You sure
this is the house?

Yeah.

What's going on?

We found him
wandering around.

We figured he was lost.

Well, you're supposed
to be in day care.

I hate that place.

Well, what happened?

They had
the same pictures.

They tried to
make me go to sleep.

They tried to
make me go to sleep.

Hey, Andy.

Daddy! Daddy!

Sorry if he caused you
trouble.

No trouble.

Are--are you an mp
or something?

No. I'm a chopper pilot.

Thanks
for bringing him home.

Maybe I'll
see you around.

Where?

Um...

The top gun
on route 8.

It's the only club
around.

My name's Tim.

Oh. Marti.

No problem
at all.

Thanks a lot.

Okay
take care.

Thank you, soldier.

No problem.

Thanks very much.

Alright, little guy.
Take care.

Say thank you.

Thank you.

Hi.

What's all this about,

"the kids
don't like me"?

He's been there one day.

The faster he gets back,

the faster
he makes friends.

Stop worrying so much.

I can't help it.

It's a natural thing.

I can't get
this dirt out.

It won't come out.

Hi.

Hey, chick. Let's
get out of here.

Where are we going?

Out.
Anywhere but here.

Jenn Platt, Carol.

Hi.

Oh! Oh, you--hi.

I didn't realize
you knew--Steve!

Marti has a friend here.

You want something?

No, thanks. I'm fine.

We have milk,
orange juice...

Hi.

Jenn Platt.

Steve Malone.

Popcorn?

Platt?

Really, I'm fine.

Your name is Platt?

General's daughter.
Don't I look the part?

I came
to show marti around.

Where?

The base,
the rec center.

Wh-when you planning
on being home?

12:00?

12:00.

12:00?

12:00.

Okay.

Done. Let's go.

Done, yeah,
but do be home by 12:00.

Nice meeting you.

That's an interesting outfit
you've got on there.

Here?

Well, this is it.

I don't have
any I.D.

Don't get your panties
in a bunch, girl.

Just come.

♪♪...don't let me
walk through ♪♪

♪♪ or I shouldn't want you ♪♪

Oh, man.
Where is everybody?

♪♪ But, darling, I do ♪♪

Hey, ladies,

Lambada?

♪♪ I'm falling in love

Hey, look who's here.

I don't believe it.
Jenn.

Where is everybody?

Word out
you guys were here?

They heard
your dad was coming.

To court-martial
your ass.

This is Pete--

Tim.

Marti.

You know each other?

We met earlier.

Earlier? You just
got here yesterday.

What's a girl got to do
to get a drink around here?

Want a drink?
Come on. Drink.

You can have
anything you want.

♪♪ Please help me,
I'm falling... ♪♪

Well,
this is romantic.

Now what?

Let me dazzle you
with my stick work.

Or not.

Let's play some pool.

Pool?
Alright. Let's go.

Have a seat.

Last chance.

How you doing?

Good.

How's your brother?

Oh, he's kind of
weirded out.

Can I get you
something to drink?

Uh, yeah.

I'll have
whatever he's having.

Yeah, right.

Melissa, can I get
a couple of beers?

Hey, Andy's a nice kid,
you know.

Yeah?
Do you want him?

Do I want him?

♪♪ Please help me,
I'm falling in love with you ♪♪♪♪

Shit!

What's the matter?

I know that guy.

He scared the hell
out of me.

Hey! What did you
do to her?

I don't know
what you're
talking about.

In the gas station.

I think
your girlfriend

has had a little
too much to drink.

You ought to
take her home.

Oh, Tim, it's okay.

I guess I made
a mistake.

I was, uh,
7 when she died.

I didn't expect my dad
to get married again.

Stupid, huh?

You must really
miss her.

What was
your mother like?

You always remember
the good things about people.

I miss her.

Did you ever play "I never"?

No. What's that?

Put your hands up,

and the object
is to make the other guy

drop all his fingers down.

If I were to say, um...
"I've never been to Mars,"

then neither of us
put our fingers down.

'Cause we've not been to Mars.

If you said,
"I never wore a dress,"

then I'd have to
put a finger down.

Get it?

Yeah.
Okay go ahead.

No. You start.

Okay I've never
eaten Brussels sprouts.

Um...

I've never been
up in a helicopter.

Um, I've never tried

to give
my kid brother away.

I've never had
to shoot anyone.

When?

Kuwait.

Um...

I never
hide my feelings.

Mommy?

Mommy?

Mommy? Mommy?

Mommy!

Andy?

What's the matter, honey?

It's mommy!

What about mommy?

Her head came off!
She's dead!

There's mommy
right there.

No, she's not my mommy.

He had a bad dream.

It's okay, honey.
I'll put you to bed.

No! That isn't my mommy!

Andy! Andy!

Andy! Andy, wait, wait.

Dad?

Take your brother inside.

Take him inside.
Do it.

Here we go.

You aware
she's underage?

No, sir. I'm sorry.

Giving booze
to an underage girl?

You weren't
aware of that?

No, sir.

That's funny, huh?

No, sir.

Don't come around here
anymore.

Come on.

I'm not lying, marti.

Nobody said
you're lying.

I had nightmares too
when I was your age.

They go away, okay?

She's not mommy, marti.

She is your mommy.
She loves you a lot.

My mommy died.

Dad?

I'm really angry
right now.

You come home drunk
and an hour late.

I'm not drunk.

And you've known
the guy 100 years...

I had one lousy beer
and half an hour late.

Big deal. I am not
a fucking 10-year-old.

Don't talk that way.

Why not? It's the only
time you listen.

That's not true.

Bullshit!
You never listen to me.

Wait.

No!

Wait!

Would--would you stop
kicking the table, please?

Thank you.

I can't wait
till I'm 18.

You think you won't be
my daughter anymore?

I'll still be
your daughter.

I just won't have to
listen to you.

You don't listen now.

Look, if you want
to go so bad,

don't wait
till you're 18.

Just go now.

You'd like that, huh?

Then it'll just be
the three of you.

Andy, want to go back
to day care today, honey,

or stay home with mommy?

My mommy's dead.

Okay, come down.

Alright. Be very careful
with that stuff.

It's very toxic.

Watch out!

Get out of the way!

Get an ambulance
and a cleanup crew.

Get back.
We'll take care of him.

What the hell's
the matter with you?

Get an ambulance
for this guy!

Jesus Christ!
What is that?

It's nothing.

Shit.

Hi.

Hello.

Uh, is Jenn here?

Hey! Come on up.

Hi.

Try this.

Taste it.

It's water.

That's right.
It's water.

There's always vodka
in this glass.

Maybe she went
on the wagon.

If she were
on the wagon,

she'd be climbing
the walls by now.

Jenn? I'm leaving now.

Where are you going?

We're going to play
bridge at the Smythes'.

What?

She doesn't know how
to play bridge.

Sir, there's been
an accident in the warehouse.

Initial reports indicate
personnel have been injured.

We'll prepare a written summary.

I'll have it for you
within an hour.

Thank you, captain.

I took it off
the suit fibers.

I ran the entire
herbicide screen.

I still got no idea
what it is.

I'll send you
the sample tomorrow.

Give it the full G.C.M.S.

I've never seen
anything like this in my life.

It scares the shit
out of me.

It's not blood.

I don't know
what the hell it is.

Get back to me
as soon as you can.

I want to go home.

Dad promised
when he's done
with his tests,

we'll leave.

It's going to be okay.

It happens
when you sleep.

What does?

You die.

Tub's full.

Better hurry.
It's going
to overflow.

Get in bed.

I said get in bed.

Night-night.

Yeah.

Want me to

God.

Lie down.
Lie down.

Here. Lie down.

Oh...Marti's
really mad at me.

Hmm.
She'll get over it.

You'll see.

Wake up in the morning...

Be another day.

Be like
none of it happened.

She'll be okay.

It will be over.

Be fine.

I love you.

Yeah.
I love you, too.

Yeah. Just let go.

Oh!

Aah!

Andy, wake up!
Wake up!

Wake him up.
Get him dressed.

Carol!

759, Sector "C."

Carol! We got to go!

We got to go now!

Listen to me, Steve.

You don't understand!
We've gotta go!

Go where?

What are you
talking about?

Steve, this is important.
Go where?

That's right.

Go where?

What happened
in your room--
are you listening?

What happened in your room
is not an isolated incident.

It is something that
is happening everywhere.

What are you
talking about?

Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna run?

Where you gonna hide?

Nowhere.

Because there's
no one like you left.

That's right.

Oh, God.

That's right.
That's good.

You're listening now.
That's very good.

Okay, now, I know
you're frightened, Steve.

I know you're scared.
That's okay.

I understand that.
You're confused.

Let me tell you
something, Steve.

All that anger,
that fear, that confusion,

it's going to melt away.
It will go away.

It will go away.
You go to sleep.

You wake up.
It's very simple.

In the morning, you wake up,
you feel wonderful.

We're connected.
We're close.

What's happening?

More fear.
That's good.

Dad.

Let's go to bed,
Steve.

Get away from me
and my kids!

Wa-a-a-ah!

Wa-a-a-ah!

This way, mister!
Come on!

Go on!
We'll cover you!

Move it out,
mister! Move!

Petey!

What's all that noise?

Hey, Petey,
those are gunshots!

Pete,
where the fuck are you?

Hey, Pete,
what's going on?

Sit down, Timbo.

What the hell's
going on, Pete?

Hey, Justin.

Go to sleep, Timbo.

What is this,
some kind of joke?

Just go back to bed.

What's with
the needle?

What is this?

What are
you guys doing?

Wh--

I told you to
go to bed, didn't I?

Get him!

Take my watch.

I got to try to
find us some help.

I'll be back
in a couple hours.

Dad--

it will be alright.
It will be alright.

You do what
your sister tells you.

Where are you going?

I'm going to
try to find us
a way out of here.

Just be very quiet, okay?

Okay.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

I'll never let anything
happen to you guys.

All remaining suspects

to the infirmary
for sleep inducement.

I need
an outside line.

I'm sorry, Major Collins.

All the lines are busy.

Please remain where you are.

I'll keep trying
and call you back.

How the hell
do you know my name?

I didn't tell you
my name!

How the hell
do you know my name?

Major?

Major?

You stay back!

No, no. It's me.
It's Steve Malone.

You remember me.

I know who you are.
You...Stay...Back!

You got to help me.

There's no time left.
My kids are in danger.

My wife is...

Do you have a car?

No--

please come.

It's too late
to run, Malone!

It's too late!

They've taken the base!

All we can do is wait
until they come--

the keys, doctor.

The keys.

They'll follow you.

They'll follow you.

That's how they work.

We got to stand up
and fight back now!

Yeah, okay.

I got a gun for you.

I got a gun
for you, too.

We'll give them hell!

We'll give them hell,
Malone.

We'll show them
what the human race

is really made of!

You want some?

Stay with me, doctor.
We have to go. Now.

Now.

You can't sleep.

You got to make sure
you don't sleep.

You come on.

Please.

Please.

The head cabbage.

Well, well,
well, well, well.

Be realistic, Major.

Put it down.

Not before I unload a few
into you onion heads.

Relax, Major.
Take it easy.

You disappoint me,
doctor.

You're a man of medicine.

You're supposed
to preserve life,
not take it.

You bastard.

You call
what you are life?

I know who you are.
I know who you are.

Do you?

Amphetamines.

I know what happens
when you sons of bitches

catch
somebody sleeping.

Want a few?

Look what your fear
has done to you.

Can't you see?

When all things
are conformed...

There will be
no more disputes,

no conflicts,

no problems
any longer.

Abandon yourself
and join us.

There are hundreds,

even thousands
of us here.

We've traveled light years
throughout the universe,

always surviving,
always growing stronger

because we've learned--

it's the race
that's important...

Not the individual.

The individual's
always important.

Only unity
guarantees survival.

Which is why
you must join us.

The human race
is doomed.

Accept it.

Stay back.

It's a matter
of survival.

Stay back!

Stay back!
I'm warning you!

Doctor...

Put the gun down.

You're never going
to get my soul.

God, never.

Shit.

Shit.

Dad!

Everybody okay?

Come on. I found us
a way out of here.

All personnel
in Sectors "A, " "B," and "C"...

God, dad.
They're everywhere.

Dad.

Where are we going?

I know what I'm doing.
Don't worry.

Just don't show
any emotion.

They can be fooled.

I know where
I'm going.

I know exactly
what I'm doing.

Where are you going?

You stay in--

off!

Get off marti!

Fucker!

Shit! Shit!

Don't make me
hurt you.

Just calm down.

Hey! What's
going on?

Let her go!

Leave her alone!

Shoot him!
Shoot him!

Shoot him!
It's not my father!

It's not him!

Shoot him!

Just back up.
Back up. Put it down.

Put it away.

Shoot him!

What are you
talking about?

It's not my dad!
He killed my father!

Put it away.

Marti!

Just relax
and put it away.

What are you doing?

Shit.

Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy?

Let's get
out of here.

Come on, marti!

Wa-a-a-ah!

There's my chopper.

It's too dangerous,
so I'm going in alone.

Watch for me,
I'll land it over here.

Just be ready to make your move
when I touch down.

We're going to get
out of here, marti.

Ready for that ride
I promised you,
little man?

Alright.

Just act like
one of them.

Be careful.

Nobody believed me.

Shh!

I figured
you'd try a bird.

What do
you mean, Pete?

I think you know
what I mean.

Now we're all
the same, Petey.

So what are
you running from?

Who's running?

I got orders.

Oh?

We're all one
happy family now.

Happy?

What's that, Timbo?

You're wasting
my time, lieutenant.

They're waiting
for light support.

Hey, Timbo.

Just so you know...

I fucked
your girlfriend.

Alright.
Let him at the bird.

Wait!
What are you doing?

Marti!

Marti!

You're making
a mistake.

Tim!

Help!

No! No!

No!

Roger.

Suspect is
escaping Sector "R."

No! No!

No!

No! No!

No! No!

Marti!

Marti!

Argh!

Marti?

No!

Let me go! No!

Marti?

Tim?

Don't.

Don't.

Marti!

Please.

Wake up!

Marti! Marti!

Try and wake up.

Come on!

Marti! Marti!

Oh, God, marti!
Come on!

Ohio.

West point,
New York.

Fort Knox,
Kentucky.

Fort Gordon,
Georgia.

Oh, God.

You can do this,
marti.

You're doing fine.
Just walk with me.

Fort Monroe,
Virginia.

Fort bliss,
Texas.

Where's Andy,
Tim?

He's got to
be in there.

I didn't see him.

He wasn't in there.

Fort Wainwright,
Alaska.

Fort Hamilton,
New York.

Fort Bragg,
north Carolina.

My chopper's
right up there.

I'm not leaving
without my brother.

We'll get help
and come back
for him.

You do what you want,

but I'm not
leaving without him.

Hi.

Did I tell you
this place was
a freak show?

Yeah.

Where you going?

We got work to do.

I saw Andy.
He's looking for you.

Where?

Wa-a-a-ah!

Marti! Marti!
Don't leave me.

Marti, wait!
Don't go!

Andy!

Don't leave me here!

Andy!

Go! Go!

Aah!

Aah!

Andy!

Andy, don't!
What are you doing?

Andy, no! No!

Get off me!

Andy,
what are you doing?

Marti!
Throw him out!

Throw him out!

He's not
your brother, marti!

Andy!

Throw him out!

Get off me!

Wa-a-a-ah!

Should we
go after them?

Let them go.
No one will believe them.

Roger.

We just detected
the suspects.

Over.

Suspects escaping
Sector "R."

I'm sorry, marti.

They said nobody
would believe us.

Who could believe
such a crazy story?

I could hardly
believe it myself.

They had destroyed
everyone I loved.

Our reaction...

Was only human.

Revenge, hate,
remorse, despair, pity,

and most of all fear.

I remember feeling
all those things

as I watched
the bombs explode.

How I hated them.

They get you
when you sleep,

but you can only
stay awake so long.

Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna run?

Where you gonna hide?

Nowhere.

Because there's no one...
Like you...Left.
