Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 6, Episode 11 - The Visitors - full transcript
Bad guys with eccentric ideas are just too easy. The IMF's next victim believes aliens are visiting the earth. So Jim, Lisa and Willy become aliens to convince him that he is their "chosen one" so he will expose candidates running for office that are in the pocket of organized crime.
[ CHUCKLING ]
WHY ARE YOU SMILING, SIR?
OUT OF ADMIRATION.
NOT ONLY DO YOU ACCUSE
SOME OF THIS STATE'S
LEADING JUDGES, LEGISLATORS,
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
OF BEING IN THE EMPLOY
OF THE SYNDICATE,
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE PROOF
TO BACK IT UP.
ONCE I GOT INTO IT,
MR. GRANGER,
IT BECAME SELF-EVIDENT.
DON'T DEPRECATE YOURSELF
OR YOUR WORK.
THIS IS JOURNALISM IN
THE FINEST SENSE OF THE WORD.
BUT THIS IS ONLY
THE RAW MATERIAL.
WHERE'S THE STORY?
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT FIRST.
THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS
OF WRITING IT --
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY.
AND THAT IS THE TRUTH.
GRANGER PUBLICATIONS
WILL BACK YOU UP 100%.
I HOPE YOU HAVE COPIES
OF THIS MATERIAL.
WHY, NO, SIR,
THE MATERIAL
IS SO SENSITIVE,
I WAS AFRAID OF A LEAK.
Granger: OF COURSE.
AS SOON AS YOU GET
BACK TO TOWN,
HAVE COPIES MADE OF THAT
AND HAVE THEM PUT
IN MY PRIVATE VAULT.
HI.
HI.
WISH I'D LEARNED
TO CHAUFFEUR ONE OF THESE.
MIND IF I LOOK AROUND?
NO, NOT AT ALL.
YOUR STORY WILL CREATE
PUBLISHING HISTORY, ROBERTSON.
CARRY ON.
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
MR. GRANGER.
CALL NEW YORK.
YEAH, HOLD ON A MINUTE.
MR. GRANGER.
I WAS RIGHT.
THERE ARE NO COPIES.
NO, HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME,
ONLY THAT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS
RUN THIS STATE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
HE'S DEAD.

PUBLISHER AND COMMUNICATIONS
TYCOON EDWARD GRANGER,
THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MAN
IN HIS STATE,
IS CONTROLLED
BY A BRANCH OF THE SYNDICATE
WHICH OWNS 51%
OF HIS NEWSPAPER, TELEVISION,
AND RADIO EMPIRE.
FOR A DECADE,
GRANGER HAS SUPPORTED
SYNDICATE CANDIDATES
AND PROTECTED
SYNDICATE POLITICIANS.
HE MASTERMINDED THE MURDER
OF ONE OF HIS OWN REPORTERS
WHO WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE
TO THE TRUTH.
IN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS,
THE SYNDICATE SLATE IS EXPECTED
TO SWEEP GRANGER'S STATE
AND SYSTEMATICALLY LOOT IT
FOR THE UNDERWORLD.
CONVENTIONAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
ARE UNABLE TO INTERFERE.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
IF YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO MAKE CERTAIN THE VOTERS
KNOW THE TRUTH
BEFORE THEY GO TO THE POLLS
72 HOURS FROM NOW.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ HISSING ]
[ BUZZING ]
ABERS DORSATA.
IT'S A MUTANT BEE.
ITS STING IS HARMLESS,
BUT IT WILL ATTACK
ANYTHING THAT MOVES.
WHAT ABOUT THE BIORENE
YOU FED HIM?
UNDETECTABLE BY ANY DOCTOR
PRACTICING TODAY, WILLY.
IT'S BASICALLY
A HARMLESS DRUG.
GRANGER WILL BE ABLE
TO SEE, THINK,
AND REACT
WITH NORMAL CLARITY.
BUT HE WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE
UNTIL WE GIVE HIM THIS --
THE ANTIDOTE.
NOW, HE'S ALWAYS IN THE LIBRARY
BETWEEN 10:00 AND 11:00 A.M.,
CHECKING OUT
HIS MORNING NEWSPAPERS.
HE BELIEVES IN LUCK.
IT'S ALWAYS PLAYED
A BIG PART IN HIS LIFE,
EXCEPT FOR ONE TIME --
THROWING HIM
WITH THE SYNDICATE
WHEN HE FACED BANKRUPTCY
10 YEARS AGO.
NOW HE'S GOT SPIES
IN HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.
BARNEY,
HOW ABOUT MARTY DIX?
HE WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON
THIS MORNING, JIM.
HE'S ON HIS WAY TO DENVER.
HE'S VERY GRATEFUL
THAT WE'RE GIVING HIM
THIS CHANCE TO GO STRAIGHT.
JIM, HOW LONG HAS GRANGER
BEEN INTERESTED
IN UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECTS?
WELL, EVER SINCE THE NIGHT
HE TALKS ABOUT IN HIS BOOK.
THE NIGHT
HE WAS WITH HELEN PRESSCET
AND THE MYSTERIOUS LIGHT
LED HIM TO THE WELL
WHERE THE BOY WAS TRAPPED.
I LOCATED HELEN, JIM.
I SPENT SOME TIME WITH HER.
GRANGER HAS ONLY SEEN HER
THAT ONE NIGHT
THAT THEY WERE TOGETHER
25 YEARS AGO.
SHE AVOIDED HIM
AFTER THAT.
SHE WAS IN LOVE
WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
WHAT ABOUT
THE BIRTHMARK, CASEY?
JUST LIKE HERS.
MM-HMM. WILLY?
WE'LL BE ABLE TO PATCH INTO
A 150-FOOT ANTENNA, JIM.
THE CALLS WILL GO
TO THE NEWSPAPERS,
RADIO AND TELEVISION
STATIONS.
THE POLICE
ARE IN ON IT, TOO.
GOOD. NOW WE HAVE LESS THAN
THREE DAYS BEFORE ELECTIONS,
AND I WANT TO WARN YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING.
WE ARE NOT DEALING
WITH AN ECCENTRIC.
GRANGER IS TOUGH-MINDED,
HE'S KNOWLEDGEABLE,
AND IF HE BELIEVES
IN EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE
AND IMMORTALITY, IT'S BECAUSE
HE KNOWS MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE,
NOT LESS.
KELLOG.
MARTY DIX?
OH, YEAH, LET HIM THROUGH.
NEW YORK SAID YOU DID 5
ON A 5-TO-15
FOR ARMED ROBBERY.
IS THAT YOUR SPECIALTY,
DIX?
I DID THE DRIVING, MAN.
NO, THANK YOU.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY SAID
YOU WERE A TEETOTALLER.
WHERE YOU STAYING?
BELMONT HOTEL.
ANYTHING COMES UP,
THAT'S WHERE
I'LL GET A HOLD OF YOU.
THANK YOU.
I'LL HAVE ONE OF MY MEN
DRIVE YOU OUT.
[ HATCH OPENS ]
[ BEEPS ]
[ BEEPS ]
[ BEEPS ]
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?
OUT OF CIRCULATION.
YOU'LL DRIVE.
EXCELLENT.
NONSENSE.
FOR A MAN OF 55,
YOU'RE IN SUPERB CONDITION.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S
THE EXERCISE,
THE VITAMINS, HEREDITY --
ALL OF THEM.
STILL, AT 55, AT BEST,
I'VE ALREADY LIVED HALF MY LIFE.
THAT'S NONSENSE,
BIOLOGICAL NONSENSE.
A MAN SHOULD LIVE 300 YEARS
JUST FOR A STARTER.
AND IN A CENTURY, IN SPITE
OF THE SCLEROTIC MENTALITY
OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION,
HE WILL.
YOU REALLY WANT
THESE VITAMINS
TO HELP YOU LIVE
THAT LONG?
THE IDEA OF MY OWN DEATH
IS THOROUGHLY HATEFUL TO ME.
YOU'RE SMILING.
TO ACCEPT DEATH IS
SUPPOSED TO BE HEALTHY.
MANKIND HAS BEEN TAUGHT
BY RELIGION
TO WALK MEEKLY TO THE GRAVE.
ONE DAY HE WILL
NOT DO SO.
WHAT ABOUT
OVERPOPULATION?
DOCTOR, I SAID THAT MY OWN DEATH
IS HATEFUL TO ME.
NOT YOURS.
[ CHUCKLING ]
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
COME IN.
[ BARBELL DROPS ]
MORNING, DOCTOR.
Something urgent's
come up.
TOMORROW AS USUAL, DOCTOR.
LEONARD SKIPPED.
CRACKED THE SAFE,
TOOK $12,000, AND THE CAR.
I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT
LEONARD HAD THE IMAGINATION.
HAD ENOUGH TO KNOW YOU AND I
WOULDN'T CALL THE POLICE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FIND
A REPLACEMENT.
I'VE ALREADY GOT ONE.
DIX.
THIS IS MARTY DIX.
GLAD TO MEET YOU, SIR.
WE SOMETIMES REQUIRE
MORE OF OUR CHAUFFEURS
THAN JUST DRIVING.
I'VE, UH, BEEN AROUND.
I CHECKED HIM OUT, SIR.
PUT HIM
ON THE PAYROLL.
THANK YOU, SIR.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
WE CONNECTED
TO THE ANTENNA NOW, WILLY?
YES, JIM.
THIS SHOULD CAUSE
INTERFERENCE
OVER A 50-MILE AREA.
AND THIS IS YOUR ROOM.
YOU'LL BE ON CALL
ALL THE TIME...
EXCEPT ON YOUR DAYS OFF.
NOBODY SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT MONEY, MAN.
FOUR BILLS A WEEK.
THAT'S A LOT OF BREAD.
MM-HMM.
YOU GOT MORE TO DO
THAN JUST DRIVE, DIX.
YOUR JOB'S
TO KEEP TABS ON GRANGER.
OKAY.
ANYBODY ELSE HERE
FROM NEW YORK BESIDES US?
NOW WHAT'S THAT TO YOU?
IN CASE YOU'RE NOT HERE,
MAN.
I'LL BE HERE.
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO REPORT,
YOU REPORT TO ME.
OKAY, MAN.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
[ BUZZING ]
[ RINGS ]
WHERE IS THAT NEW CHAUFFEUR?
ONE OF MY EDITORS DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO COMPOSE A FRONT PAGE
AND I'VE GOT TO GET TO TOWN
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I'LL CHECK INTO IT, SIR.
[ KNOCKING ]
DIX?
[ BUZZING ]
[ PANTING ]
GRANGER!
[ Line ringing ]
[ RINGS ]
VENOM CENTER.
YES, I SEE.
UM, I'LL CONNECT YOU
WITH DR. GAILER.
[ With European accent ]
DR. GAILER SPEAKING.
I HAVE A PATIENT,
EDWARD GRANGER,
WHO SEEMS
TO HAVE BEEN STUNG
BY SOME SPECIES OF BEE
I CAN'T IDENTIFY.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
JUST GETTING YOU
ANOTHER PLACE, MAN.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU
WANTED ME
TILL ONE OF YOUR BOYS
TOLD ME.
NO, DR. GAILER,
THERE IS NO RESPONSE AT ALL
TO CORTISONE.
I SEE, DOCTOR.
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU SEND TO ME
THE REMAINS OF THE BEE
ALONG WITH A SAMPLE
OF THE PATIENT'S BLOOD.
OH, AND DR. LAURENCE,
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
MUST THE PATIENT BE MOVED.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
I NEED SOMEONE TO GO OVER
TO STATE UNIVERSITY RIGHT AWAY.
GET READY, CASEY.
HOW'S IT LOOK?
YEAH. FINE.
GOOD. I'M READY.
[ BEEPS ]
[ BEEPING ]
[ RAPID BEEPING ]
[ SHRILL DRONING ]
[ DRONING CONTINUES ]
HELLO, THIS IS MR. TEDLOWE
ON MOORE PARK...
Woman: A FLYING SAUCER,
OPERATOR. BIG AS LIFE.
LIT THE BACK GARDEN
LIKE IT WAS NOON SUN.
Man: I WANT TO REPORT
A FLYING SAUCER.
Woman: AND THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TV,
OR YOUR PROGRAM.
YOU TELL ME WHICH IT IS.
Operator: "UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECT"?
A DISTURBANCE IN THE SKY?
WHAT IS YOUR LOCATION?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M DR. TOWNSHEND. THIS IS
MY NURSE, MISS DORSEY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
DR. GAILER SENT US.
I JUST SPOKE TO DR GAILER.
HE DIDN'T MENTION --
YOU ARE DR. LAURENCE?
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR
LEAVING THE ROOM, DOCTOR.
I DON'T THINK
I UNDERSTOOD YOU, DOCTOR.
THE PROCEDURES I INTEND
TO FOLLOW
ARE INTRICATE AND DELICATE.
YOUR PRESENCE
WOULD ONLY BE DISTRACTING.
PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM.
I WILL NOT LEAVE
MY PATIENT!
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!
I'M DR. TOWNSHEND,
THIS IS MISS DORSEY.
WE WERE SENT
BY THE VENOM CENTER.
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
HOW? WE ARRIVED BY TAXI,
WE WALKED IN.
THERE WERE NO CABS
REPORTED TO ME.
DO YOU WANT THIS MAN
TO DIE?!
I MUST TREAT HIM
IMMEDIATELY!
ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.
YOU BOTH
MUST LEAVE THE ROOM.
DR. LAURENCE, I ASK YOU --
CAN YOU HELP THIS MAN?
THEN PLEASE LET ME DO IT,
OR TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR HIS DEATH.
NOW LEAVE.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT RIGHT
HAVE YOU TO --
DOCTOR!
[ ELECTRIC HUMMING ]
[ HISSING ]
HE'LL BE OUT
FOR ONE MINUTE.
HOW IS HE?
PULSE
IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.
WHERE ARE THEY?
MR. GRANGER,
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
THE DOCTOR AND THE NURSE,
WHERE ARE THEY?
I DON'T KNOW,
MR. GRANGER.
THEY WERE IN THIS ROOM
AND THEY...THEY DISAPPEARED.
WELL, FIND THEM.
YOU HEAR ME?!
FIND THEM!!
YES, SIR.
FULL ALERT.
HOLD IT.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
PUT YOUR HANDS UP.
WE'LL HAVE TO GET HIM
INTO A STORE ROOM.
CASEY, YOU GO.
RIGHT, JIM.
NO, THERE'S NO ONE
ON OUR STAFF BY THAT NAME.
YES, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
THEY WEREN'T
FROM THE VENOM CENTER.
THE GATE GUARD
SAW NO ONE LEAVE.
I'VE HAD THE GROUNDS
SEARCHED.
THERE'S NO TRACE OF THEM.
DID EITHER OF YOU SEE
A BLINDING LIGHT IN THE SKY
BEFORE THEY ARRIVED?
A LIGHT? NO.
Man: WE INTERRUPT
THIS PROGRAM
FOR A NEWS BULLETIN.
POLICE RECEIVED
HUNDREDS OF PHONE CALLS
EARLY THIS MORNING
DESCRIBING A MYSTERIOUS
LIGHT IN THE SKY
IN CASELLE COUNTY,
JUST NORTH OF THE CITY.
ABOUT THE SAME TIME,
A MYRIAD OF COMPLAINTS
WERE RECEIVED REGARDING
INTERFERENCE
ON RADIO AND TELEVISION
SETS THROUGHOUT THE AREA.
BRING MY CAR AROUND.
I WANT TO GO DOWN
TO THE JOURNAL OFFICE.
YES, SIR,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[ THUMPING ]
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I don't know, sir.
YOU FIND WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
QUITE A COINCIDENCE SEEING
YOU HERE, MR. GRANGER.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
LAST NIGHT.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
STATE UNIVERSITY --
WHO A YOU?
YOU CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE
TO SAVE MY LIFE.
YOU APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR
SEEMINGLY AT WILL.
YOU LOOK LIKE A WOMAN
I KNEW 25 YEARS AGO.
AND YET YOU
DON'T LOOK A DAY OLDER.
I'D TELL MYSELF
I WAS GOING MAD,
EXCEPT THAT EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY
IS REAL.
I'M ALIVE BECAUSE OF YOU.
I REALLY SHOULDN'T
BE HERE,
BUT I HAD TO SEE YOU.
LAST NIGHT
WHEN WE EXAMINED YOU,
WE FOUND THE BEGINNINGS
OF A FATAL BLOOD DISEASE.
WHAT?
YOU CALL IT "LEUKEMIA."
LEUKEMIA?
[ Chuckling ]
I HAVE LEUKEMIA?
PLEASE, STAY CLOSE
TO YOUR HOME THIS AFTERNOON
WHERE I CAN REACH YOU.
WAIT.
PLEASE.
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
I WILL TRY TO HELP YOU.
WELL, LET'S TRY IT.
I CAME HERE
TO TELL YOU A GREAT...
KELLOG, COME IN HERE, PLEASE.
YES, MR. GRANGER.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
A GREAT DEAL MORE
THAN I SHOULD.
WE CAME HERE LAST NIGHT
NOT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE,
BUT TO GIVE YOU IMMORTALITY.
IMMORTALITY?
SOUNDS SO MATTER-OF-FACT.
IT'S A CONCEPT.
IT ISN'T REAL.
IT I REAL, MR. GRANGER,
AS REAL AS THESE.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
COME IN.
KELLOG,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT,
MR. GRANGER?
GET OFF THIS ESTATE,
KELLOG.
DO IT RIGHT NOW.
AND TAKE YOUR FRIEND
MARTY DIX WITH YOU.
DID SHE PUT YOU UP TO THIS,
MR. GRANGER?
GET OUT!!
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.
LET GO OF ME.
Are you real?
You're flesh and blood.
YOU'RE LIKE ME!
ARE YOU SURE?
SHE'S GOT HIM
UNDER HER THUMB, MR. WEBB.
THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
HE FIRED ME.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE A FRAUD.
ALL OF THIS...
IS A FRAUD.
WE CHOSE YOU 25 YEARS AGO.
WE WERE WRONG.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
GRANGER HERE.
MR. GRANGER, I'D LIKE YOU
TO COME INTO THE HOSPITAL
FOR SOME LAB EXAMINATIONS
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Why, what's the matter?
UH, THAT BLOOD SAMPLE
THAT WE SENT
TO THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
I just got a call
from Dr. Gailer.
DURING THE COURSE
OF THE EXAMINATION,
THEY TURNED UP SOMETHING
THAT WE BETTER LOOK INTO.
STOP THE DOUBLE TALK.
WHAT DID THEY FIND?
THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THERE'S
SOME IRREGULARITY IN YOUR --
IS IT LEUKEMIA?
IS THAT IT?
They're not sure.
WHO ARE --?
WHERE IS SHE?
SHE'S IN DANGER.
SHE DROVE AWAY
A FEW MINUTES AGO.
NOW WAIT.
PLEASE, WAIT.
LOOK,
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
I HAVE TO KNOW
IF I'VE MADE A MISTAKE.
THERE IS NO TIME,
MR. GRANGER.
WE HAVE TO TALK.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.
I'LL DRIVE YOU.
CAN'T YOU DRIVE
ANY STEADIER THAN THAT?
I DIDN'T BUILD
THESE ROADS, MAN.
COME ON!
I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER.
SHE TALKED ABOUT
IMMORTALITY,
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO
GIVE ME IMMORTALITY.
WELL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
HOW DIFFICULT THE CONCEPT
IS TO ACCEPT.
YET I'VE ALWAYS HAD
THE FEELING, EVER SINCE
THAT NIGHT I SAW
THE FALLING STAR
AND THE LIGHT IN THE SKY
THAT LED ME TO THE BOY
AND STARTED MY WHOLE CAREER,
THAT SOMEHOW I WAS
BEING WATCHED OVER.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU BECAME
PART OF THE UNDERWORLD --
CORRUPT, DECEITFUL?
EVERYTHING YOU SAY
IS TRUE.
EVERYTHING SHE SAYS
IS TRUE.
BUT THERE WERE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
[ HORN HONKING ]
WELL,
THAT TAKES CARE OF HER.
YOU DID IT.
YOU MURDERED HER!
HOLD IT!
NO, LET THEM GO!
GET ME DOWN TO HER.
HOHH!
YOU DRIVE.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
I'LL SHOW YOU.
TOO BAD KELLOG GOT AWAY.
NO TIME
TO WORRY ABOUT HIM NOW.
TAKE THE SHORTCUT.
DRIVE THROUGH.
DON'T TOUCH THAT!
IS THIS WHAT SHE MEANT
BY "IMMORTALITY"?
IS THIS WHAT YOU WERE
GOING TO DO FOR ME?
PLEASE LEAVE, MR. GRANGER.
BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
SHE TOLD ME
I WAS GOING TO DIE!
YOU HAVE THE SECRET
OF ETERNAL LIFE HERE!
WE DON'T WANT TO USE FORCE,
MR. GRANGER.
BUT YOU CHOSE ME.
YOU MUST HAVE HAD A REASON.
YOU WANTED ME TO BE
A LEADER, DIDN'T YOU?
YOU SAW TO IT THAT I
ACHIEVED WEALTH AND POWER.
YOU BETRAYED US.
NO.
[ Sternly ]
DO NOT TOUCH HER.
TALK TO THEM.
TRY TO MAKE THEM
UNDERSTAND.
I-I'LL DO ANYTHING.
I WANT LIFE.
I'LL DO ANYTHING.
IT'S TOO LATE.
NO.
NO, NO.
I-I-IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
I...THERE'S AN ELECTION
COMING UP.
IF THE PEOPLE
KNOW THE TRUTH,
THEY CAN SET IT RIGHT.
AND I'LL TELL THEM
THE TRUTH.
PLEASE!
PERHAPS.
BUT IT MUST BE NOW.
THE LOCAL RADIO STATION --
I OWN IT.
THERE'S A STATEWIDE
NEWS BROADCAST AT 7:00.
I COULD...
WE'LL CONNECT YOU WITH
YOUR TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!
I DID WHAT YOU ASKED!
I DID WHAT YOU ASKED!

TOOK $12,000, AND THE CAR.
I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT
LEONARD HAD THE IMAGINATION.
HAD ENOUGH TO KNOW YOU AND I
WOULDN'T CALL THE POLICE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FIND
A REPLACEMENT.
I'VE ALREADY GOT ONE.
DIX.
THIS IS MARTY DIX.
GLAD TO MEET YOU, SIR.
WE SOMETIMES REQUIRE
MORE OF OUR CHAUFFEURS
THAN JUST DRIVING.
I'VE, UH, BEEN AROUND.
I CHECKED HIM OUT, SIR.
PUT HIM
ON THE PAYROLL.
THANK YOU, SIR.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
WE CONNECTED
TO THE ANTENNA NOW, WILLY?
YES, JIM.
THIS SHOULD CAUSE
INTERFERENCE
OVER A 50-MILE AREA.
AND THIS IS YOUR ROOM.
YOU'LL BE ON CALL
ALL THE TIME...
EXCEPT ON YOUR DAYS OFF.
NOBODY SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT MONEY, MAN.
FOUR BILLS A WEEK.
THAT'S A LOT OF BREAD.
MM-HMM.
YOU GOT MORE TO DO
THAN JUST DRIVE, DIX.
YOUR JOB'S
TO KEEP TABS ON GRANGER.
OKAY.
ANYBODY ELSE HERE
FROM NEW YORK BESIDES US?
NOW WHAT'S THAT TO YOU?
IN CASE YOU'RE NOT HERE,
MAN.
I'LL BE HERE.
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO REPORT,
YOU REPORT TO ME.
OKAY, MAN.

[ RINGS ]
WHERE IS THAT NEW CHAUFFEUR?
ONE OF MY EDITORS DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO COMPOSE A FRONT PAGE
AND I'VE GOT TO GET TO TOWN
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I'LL CHECK INTO IT, SIR.

YES, I SEE.
UM, I'LL CONNECT YOU
WITH DR. GAILER.
[ With European accent ]
DR. GAILER SPEAKING.
I HAVE A PATIENT,
EDWARD GRANGER,
WHO SEEMS
TO HAVE BEEN STUNG
BY SOME SPECIES OF BEE
I CAN'T IDENTIFY.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
JUST GETTING YOU
ANOTHER PLACE, MAN.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU
WANTED ME
TILL ONE OF YOUR BOYS
TOLD ME.
NO, DR. GAILER,
THERE IS NO RESPONSE AT ALL
TO CORTISONE.
I SEE, DOCTOR.
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU SEND TO ME
THE REMAINS OF THE BEE
ALONG WITH A SAMPLE
OF THE PATIENT'S BLOOD.
OH, AND DR. LAURENCE,
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
MUST THE PATIENT BE MOVED.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
I NEED SOMEONE TO GO OVER
TO STATE UNIVERSITY RIGHT AWAY.
GET READY, CASEY.
HOW'S IT LOOK?
YEAH. FINE.
GOOD. I'M READY.

HELLO, THIS IS MR. TEDLOWE
ON MOORE PARK...
Woman: A FLYING SAUCER,
OPERATOR. BIG AS LIFE.
LIT THE BACK GARDEN
LIKE IT WAS NOON SUN.
Man: I WANT TO REPORT
A FLYING SAUCER.
Woman: AND THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TV,
OR YOUR PROGRAM.
YOU TELL ME WHICH IT IS.
Operator: "UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECT"?
A DISTURBANCE IN THE SKY?
WHAT IS YOUR LOCATION?
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M DR. TOWNSHEND. THIS IS
MY NURSE, MISS DORSEY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
DR. GAILER SENT US.
I JUST SPOKE TO DR GAILER.
HE DIDN'T MENTION --
YOU ARE DR. LAURENCE?
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR
LEAVING THE ROOM, DOCTOR.
I DON'T THINK
I UNDERSTOOD YOU, DOCTOR.
THE PROCEDURES I INTEND
TO FOLLOW
ARE INTRICATE AND DELICATE.
YOUR PRESENCE
WOULD ONLY BE DISTRACTING.
PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM.
I WILL NOT LEAVE
MY PATIENT!
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!
I'M DR. TOWNSHEND,
THIS IS MISS DORSEY.
WE WERE SENT
BY THE VENOM CENTER.
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
HOW? WE ARRIVED BY TAXI,
WE WALKED IN.
THERE WERE NO CABS
REPORTED TO ME.
DO YOU WANT THIS MAN
TO DIE?!
I MUST TREAT HIM
IMMEDIATELY!
ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.
YOU BOTH
MUST LEAVE THE ROOM.
DR. LAURENCE, I ASK YOU --
CAN YOU HELP THIS MAN?
THEN PLEASE LET ME DO IT,
OR TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR HIS DEATH.
NOW LEAVE.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT RIGHT
HAVE YOU TO --
DOCTOR!
[ ELECTRIC HUMMING ]
[ HISSING ]
HE'LL BE OUT
FOR ONE MINUTE.
HOW IS HE?
PULSE
IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.
WHERE ARE THEY?
MR. GRANGER,
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
THE DOCTOR AND THE NURSE,
WHERE ARE THEY?
I DON'T KNOW,
MR. GRANGER.
THEY WERE IN THIS ROOM
AND THEY...THEY DISAPPEARED.
WELL, FIND THEM.
YOU HEAR ME?!
FIND THEM!!
YES, SIR.
FULL ALERT.
HOLD IT.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
PUT YOUR HANDS UP.
WE'LL HAVE TO GET HIM
INTO A STORE ROOM.
CASEY, YOU GO.
RIGHT, JIM.
NO, THERE'S NO ONE
ON OUR STAFF BY THAT NAME.
YES, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
THEY WEREN'T
FROM THE VENOM CENTER.
THE GATE GUARD
SAW NO ONE LEAVE.
I'VE HAD THE GROUNDS
SEARCHED.
THERE'S NO TRACE OF THEM.
DID EITHER OF YOU SEE
A BLINDING LIGHT IN THE SKY
BEFORE THEY ARRIVED?
A LIGHT? NO.
Man: WE INTERRUPT
THIS PROGRAM
FOR A NEWS BULLETIN.
POLICE RECEIVED
HUNDREDS OF PHONE CALLS
EARLY THIS MORNING
DESCRIBING A MYSTERIOUS
LIGHT IN THE SKY
IN CASELLE COUNTY,
JUST NORTH OF THE CITY.
ABOUT THE SAME TIME,
A MYRIAD OF COMPLAINTS
WERE RECEIVED REGARDING
INTERFERENCE
ON RADIO AND TELEVISION
SETS THROUGHOUT THE AREA.
BRING MY CAR AROUND.
I WANT TO GO DOWN
TO THE JOURNAL OFFICE.
YES, SIR,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
[ THUMPING ]
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I don't know, sir.
YOU FIND WHAT'S WRONG?
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
QUITE A COINCIDENCE SEEING
YOU HERE, MR. GRANGER.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
LAST NIGHT.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
STATE UNIVERSITY --
WHO A YOU?
YOU CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE
TO SAVE MY LIFE.
YOU APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR
SEEMINGLY AT WILL.
YOU LOOK LIKE A WOMAN
I KNEW 25 YEARS AGO.
AND YET YOU
DON'T LOOK A DAY OLDER.
I'D TELL MYSELF
I WAS GOING MAD,
EXCEPT THAT EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY
IS REAL.
I'M ALIVE BECAUSE OF YOU.
I REALLY SHOULDN'T
BE HERE,
BUT I HAD TO SEE YOU.
LAST NIGHT
WHEN WE EXAMINED YOU,
WE FOUND THE BEGINNINGS
OF A FATAL BLOOD DISEASE.
WHAT?
YOU CALL IT "LEUKEMIA."
LEUKEMIA?
[ Chuckling ]
I HAVE LEUKEMIA?
PLEASE, STAY CLOSE
TO YOUR HOME THIS AFTERNOON
WHERE I CAN REACH YOU.
WAIT.
PLEASE.
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
I WILL TRY TO HELP YOU.
WELL, LET'S TRY IT.
I CAME HERE
TO TELL YOU A GREAT...
KELLOG, COME IN HERE, PLEASE.
YES, MR. GRANGER.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
A GREAT DEAL MORE
THAN I SHOULD.
WE CAME HERE LAST NIGHT
NOT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE,
BUT TO GIVE YOU IMMORTALITY.
IMMORTALITY?
SOUNDS SO MATTER-OF-FACT.
IT'S A CONCEPT.
IT ISN'T REAL.
IT I REAL, MR. GRANGER,
AS REAL AS THESE.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
COME IN.
KELLOG,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT,
MR. GRANGER?
GET OFF THIS ESTATE,
KELLOG.
DO IT RIGHT NOW.
AND TAKE YOUR FRIEND
MARTY DIX WITH YOU.
DID SHE PUT YOU UP TO THIS,
MR. GRANGER?
GET OUT!!
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.
LET GO OF ME.
Are you real?
You're flesh and blood.
YOU'RE LIKE ME!
ARE YOU SURE?
SHE'S GOT HIM
UNDER HER THUMB, MR. WEBB.
THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
HE FIRED ME.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE A FRAUD.
ALL OF THIS...
IS A FRAUD.
WE CHOSE YOU 25 YEARS AGO.
WE WERE WRONG.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
GRANGER HERE.
MR. GRANGER, I'D LIKE YOU
TO COME INTO THE HOSPITAL
FOR SOME LAB EXAMINATIONS
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Why, what's the matter?
UH, THAT BLOOD SAMPLE
THAT WE SENT
TO THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
I just got a call
from Dr. Gailer.
DURING THE COURSE
OF THE EXAMINATION,
THEY TURNED UP SOMETHING
THAT WE BETTER LOOK INTO.
STOP THE DOUBLE TALK.
WHAT DID THEY FIND?
THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THERE'S
SOME IRREGULARITY IN YOUR --
IS IT LEUKEMIA?
IS THAT IT?
They're not sure.
WHO ARE --?
WHERE IS SHE?
SHE'S IN DANGER.
SHE DROVE AWAY
A FEW MINUTES AGO.
NOW WAIT.
PLEASE, WAIT.
LOOK,
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
I HAVE TO KNOW
IF I'VE MADE A MISTAKE.
THERE IS NO TIME,
MR. GRANGER.
WE HAVE TO TALK.
I'LL GO WITH YOU.
I'LL DRIVE YOU.
CAN'T YOU DRIVE
ANY STEADIER THAN THAT?
I DIDN'T BUILD
THESE ROADS, MAN.
COME ON!
I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER.
SHE TALKED ABOUT
IMMORTALITY,
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO
GIVE ME IMMORTALITY.
WELL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
HOW DIFFICULT THE CONCEPT
IS TO ACCEPT.
YET I'VE ALWAYS HAD
THE FEELING, EVER SINCE
THAT NIGHT I SAW
THE FALLING STAR
AND THE LIGHT IN THE SKY
THAT LED ME TO THE BOY
AND STARTED MY WHOLE CAREER,
THAT SOMEHOW I WAS
BEING WATCHED OVER.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU BECAME
PART OF THE UNDERWORLD --
CORRUPT, DECEITFUL?
EVERYTHING YOU SAY
IS TRUE.
EVERYTHING SHE SAYS
IS TRUE.
BUT THERE WERE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
[ HORN HONKING ]
WELL,
THAT TAKES CARE OF HER.
YOU DID IT.
YOU MURDERED HER!
HOLD IT!
NO, LET THEM GO!
GET ME DOWN TO HER.
HOHH!
YOU DRIVE.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
I'LL SHOW YOU.
TOO BAD KELLOG GOT AWAY.
NO TIME
TO WORRY ABOUT HIM NOW.
TAKE THE SHORTCUT.
DRIVE THROUGH.
DON'T TOUCH THAT!
IS THIS WHAT SHE MEANT
BY "IMMORTALITY"?
IS THIS WHAT YOU WERE
GOING TO DO FOR ME?
PLEASE LEAVE, MR. GRANGER.
BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
SHE TOLD ME
I WAS GOING TO DIE!
YOU HAVE THE SECRET
OF ETERNAL LIFE HERE!
WE DON'T WANT TO USE FORCE,
MR. GRANGER.
BUT YOU CHOSE ME.
YOU MUST HAVE HAD A REASON.
YOU WANTED ME TO BE
A LEADER, DIDN'T YOU?
YOU SAW TO IT THAT I
ACHIEVED WEALTH AND POWER.
YOU BETRAYED US.
NO.
[ Sternly ]
DO NOT TOUCH HER.
TALK TO THEM.
TRY TO MAKE THEM
UNDERSTAND.
I-I'LL DO ANYTHING.
I WANT LIFE.
I'LL DO ANYTHING.
IT'S TOO LATE.
NO.
NO, NO.
I-I-IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
I...THERE'S AN ELECTION
COMING UP.
IF THE PEOPLE
KNOW THE TRUTH,
THEY CAN SET IT RIGHT.
AND I'LL TELL THEM
THE TRUTH.
PLEASE!
PERHAPS.
BUT IT MUST BE NOW.
THE LOCAL RADIO STATION --
I OWN IT.

NEWS BROADCAST AT 7:00.
