(tires screeching)
Uh, David Vincent, please.
Has he checked in yet?
I don't have much time.
Don't see the name.
Hold on. I'll double-check.
(phone ringing)
Mm... Hattie?
Henry? Young lady's here
asking if a David
Vincent's checked in.
Well, how would I know?
If he isn't registered,
he isn't here.
Mr. Vincent isn't here yet.
'Course, it's still early.
(tires screeching)
Please, do you have a back door?
What's wrong, dear?
You have to help me. I...
Morning, gentlemen.
Good morning. I, uh,
I'm looking for someone...
My... fiancee.
She's a pretty
girl, about so tall...
long, brown hair,
wearing a beige coat.
Yep, that's the girl.
Oh, she's here? Was here.
Asked where to go for breakfast.
I sent her to the
cafe on the corner.
Thank you.
Thank you. You're very kind.
City types... trouble
written all over them.
I'm calling the sheriff.
No. No, don't.
Are you afraid of the law?
I just need a place to hide
until David Vincent gets here.
The sheriff can protect you
a great deal better than I can.
You stay away from that board.
Now, see here, young lady...
I said stay away
from that board!
Why... wha... What's
wrong with you, child.
I... I'm just trying
to help you.
Stay away!
NARRATOR: Starring Roy
Thinnes as architect David Vincent.
The invaders...
alien beings from
a dying planet.
Their destination... the Earth.
Their purpose... to
make it their world.
David Vincent has seen them.
For him, it began one lost night
on a lonely country road
looking for a shortcut
that he never found.
It began with a
closed, deserted diner
and a man too long without sleep
to continue his journey.
(eerie whirring)
It began with the landing of
a craft from another galaxy.
(whirring intensifies)
Now David Vincent knows
that the invaders are here.
That they have taken human form.
Somehow, he must
convince a disbelieving world
that the nightmare
has already begun.

NARRATOR: The Sycamore Guest
House, Arbor City, Massachusetts--
Scene of a vicious,
senseless killing.
David Vincent had been summoned
here by a woman he'd never met.
Her name: Anne Gibbs.
Her reason for calling him:
She had been marked for death
by creatures from
an alien planet.
(sighs)
Who could've killed her, Tom?
Who could've killed my Hattie?
Well, that's what I'm
trying to find out, Hank.
Hank, I want you to tell me
everything that happened
in here this morning.
Well, I was there
in my back office.
Hattie called here
from the front desk
to say there was a young lady...
A young lady?
Young lady asking
about a reservation for a...
a David Vincent.
And who's he?
I don't know. He
hasn't checked in yet.
David Vincent.
Make a note of that name.
She's the one
that's most likely...
That young lady.
She is the one that
must've killed Hattie.
Why?
Because she was
here, that's why.
(quietly): Oh...
Now, Tom Holliday,
you have got to find her.
If you don't find her, I will.
Now, Hank, you turned in
your badge two years ago.
I can still out-sheriff
you any day.
(quietly): Yeah.
Well, this young lady
that you're accusing...
Did you get a look at her?
No.
Well, did anyone see her?
I did.
I saw her standing
right over there
by the front desk.
That's all right. Let
that man through.
What's your name? John Corwin.
You were in this
lobby this morning?
About an hour ago... I came
in to use the cigarette machine.
That young lady that
was talking to Hattie...
What did she look like?
Hank, I'll handle this.
She wasn't exactly a young lady.
She must've been at least... 45.
Big woman.
And you got a good look at her?
She had a lot of
blonde frizzy hair
piled high on top of her head.
Mr. Corwin, I think
you'd better come down
to headquarters with me.
I'm going to want
all the details.
Hank, if that, uh, David
Vincent fella turns up,
you let me know right away.
All right, folks,
the show is over.
On your way. Move along.
Right over here.
Just a minute,
sir... I'm trying to get
someone to spell
me here at the board.
Take your time.
Sycamore.
Uh, David Vincent, please.
Vincent?
David Vincent?
Yes. Is he there?
Now, wait a minute.
That's for me.
I'm David Vincent.
You can take that phone
over there in the lobby.
Hello?
Hello. Mr. Vincent?
Yes.
This is Anne Gibbs.
What's wrong? You sound upset.
Well, I am. I...
I can't meet you at the hotel.
I... I better not
go near the town.
Where are you?
Uh... at an antique shop...
Shelter Point Antique Shop.
It's, uh, on the main highway
about three miles
north of Arbor City.
All right, stay there.
I'm leaving right now.
Mr. Vincent? Yes.
I'm Anne Gibbs.
Can we talk inside?
Are you sure you
weren't followed?
They don't know I'm in the area.
They know more than you realize.
You, uh, seem to be
very familiar with them.
I should be.
I'm one of them.
I'm very fond of that myself.
It's very attractive.
Shelter Point Antiques.
Meet me here.
I'm not like the others.
That's why they
want to destroy me.
I'm a threat to them.
What do you mean?
They've been experimenting
with human emotions.
I'm one of their failures.
When I get angry, I...
I lose control... I
get violent... wild.
I don't believe you.
A woman was murdered
this morning... at the hotel.
Are you telling me you did it?
She wasn't the first.
That's why they
want to destroy me.
I'm a danger to them.
If your police should
ever capture me,
they'll find out I'm
from another world.
David, please help me.
Why should I?
Because I can help you.
I can tell you what you want
to know about the invasion.
I could go with you
to your government
and tell them why we're here.
In other words,
you're selling out.
I don't buy it.
I'm not turning against them.
They turned against me.
I'm not one of them anymore.
My life has become
valuable to me.
It could be to you.
Wait here. I have
to make a phone call.
Yes, operator.
A collect call to New York...
Person-to-person
to Mr. Edgar Scoville.
S-c-o-v-i-l-l-e.
Scoville Electronics,
New York City.
Hi. Be with you
in just a minute.
Now, you were talking
about the Florentine style.
Here's a clock I think
you'd be very interested in.
I got this on a trade
so it's pretty
reasonable right now.
Very attractive, isn't it?
I'm sure she's telling the truth
and she's willing to go
to Washington with us.
We have to move fast.
All right, David.
I'll bring a helicopter
to pick you up.
But we can't possibly
GET THERE BEFORE 3:00.
That's a long time
to stay out of sight.
The aliens are after
her and so are the police.
The police?
Now, you know this area.
Where can we hide out?
Hold on a minute.
Would you like to see
what I have outside?
Oh, David.
Charlie McKay has a
summer camp in Cape View.
That's not too far
from Arbor City.
Good. Will you call him?
I'm not sure it's a good idea,
especially if the
police are involved.
We don't have time to be choosy.
We know we can trust him.
All right, I'll set things up.
Start looking for
us at about 3:00.
There's a baseball field there.
All right, I'll see you then.
Excuse me.
How far is it to Cape View?
Cape View?
That's about 70, 75 miles.
This highway
takes you right to it.
It's a fabulous drive.
Thanks.
Oh, have you seen anything
here that interests you?
Still looking.
You all right?
Let's go.
Sure there's nothing
I can help you with?
No, thank you.
Well, be sure to come back.
Our pewter sale
begins next Monday.
(car engine starting)
(tires squealing)
Hey, you, hold on!
That's funny.
He told us to meet him here.
Hello.
Oh, hi there, Mr. Willis.
Hi.
That young couple
that just left here...
Do you know them?
Should I?
Are they, uh, some
kind of fugitives?
Why would you
say a thing like that?
Do you know something?
I'd better call the sheriff.
Just a minute.
I was sheriff here
for over 20 years
and anything you
can tell Halloway,
you can tell me.
Well, now you wouldn't want me
to get in trouble with the
law, would you, Mr. Willis?
Besides, Sheriff Halloway,
he's one of my best customers.
Well...
how much?
Oh, that... 98 cents.
There you are, ten dollars.
I, uh, don't have any change.
I thought so.
Where did they go?
Cape View.
Are you sure?
I just gave them directions.
You save this for
Sheriff Halloway
when he retires.
Buying some
antiques, Mr. Willis?
WILLIS: Never mind.
I found this in
your station wagon.
The grief-stricken
husband seeking revenge.
Give that to me.
Why, you must know something
the sheriff doesn't know.
I know you told a
lie about that woman.
Fat, 40, blonde, frizzly hair.
You've seen her?
Maybe.
Mr. Willis...
I lied to the sheriff
for a good reason.
I want him busy elsewhere.
This case is bigger
than anyone realizes.
Justice Department.
Special Investigator.
Oh, say, you know Orrin Jacoby?
He's with the
Justice Department.
Used to be my deputy
four or five years ago.
Where's the girl, Mr. Willis?
This is not cops and
robbers anymore.
This is national security.
She's gone to Cape
View with David Vincent.
You've done
your job, Mr. Willis.
Now stay out of it.
We will not tolerate
interference from anyone.
You understand that.
Is the camp open
this time of year?
No.
Professor McKay
and his son live there.
He's a retired geologist.
Do they know about...?
Aliens?
Oh, yes.
They know about aliens.
Charlie and his wife
were on a field trip once.
They ran across
an alien outpost.
Your friends began
chasing them for miles.
Charlie was driving
like a madman.
The car went out of control.
He had a head-on
collision with another car.
His wife and the
other driver were killed.
He was convicted
of manslaughter.
He just finished
18 months in prison.
Why? It wasn't his fault.
What could he tell them?
Creatures from another planet
were chasing him?
Does Professor McKay
know that I'm an... alien?
I'm sure Scoville told him.
David, I-I don't want
to go to that camp.
They're expecting us.
A helicopter is meeting us there
to take us to Washington.
David, my people turned
his life into a nightmare.
How can you expect
him to help me?
By helping you, we hope
to end this nightmare.
That's what this is all about.
I'm not going to that camp.
You're in no position
to be dictating terms.
What do you mean?
Figure it out for yourself.
You killed my people, and
your people don't want you.
Stop the car.
No chance.
Stop the car!
I'm getting out!
No, no.
I'm getting out!
No!
I'm not your prisoner!
I'm nobody's prisoner!
Now you know what I'm like.
Dad, I...
Eddie, I asked
you to start the fire.
Sorry, Dad.
Won't things get warm
enough without it?
Mr. Scoville is
landing his helicopter
on the playing field.
I hope there aren't
too many gopher holes.
Maybe we'll need them to hide in
if the police show up.
They won't.
Are you sure?
She's running from the cops.
If they find her here, you...
It's a calculated risk.
You're the one with a record.
You're the one who
might go back to prison.
Nobody seems to care about that.
I don't want her here, Dad.
She... Eddie, simmer down.
I know how you feel.
Maybe I feel that
way, too, but...
it'll be okay.
Okay?
Well, David.
Hello, Charles.
It's good to see you again.
Good to see you.
Come in.
Anne Gibbs, Charles McKay.
Miss Gibbs and
Mr. Vincent, my son, Eddie.
Hello, Ed.
Sit down, please.
May I get you a drink?
No, thank you.
Is there someplace
I can hide the car?
I'd feel better if it
were out of sight.
By all means.
Eddie, will you show Mr. Vincent
where he can hide his car?
I'll show him nothing.
He's got no right putting
your life on the line like this.
Show him, Eddie.
My apologies, Miss Gibbs.
My son is a bit overprotective.
He's just more honest
than the rest of us.
One of the privileges of youth.
You have that same
privilege, Professor.
I think you already
know my opinion of you.
I'm a little surprised
you came here.
Well, it wasn't my idea.
Believe it or not, I don't
think I have the right
to expect you to help me.
I don't believe you.
I think I'd better leave.
You're not going anywhere.
Not until we tell you to.
You have no right
to keep me here.
Haven't I?
I paid for the
right, Miss Gibbs,
with my wife, my leg, my career.
Now, you sit down.
Get away from that door.
No chance.
Get away from that door! No!
(yelling)
Dad.
David, help me.
Now do you see?
She killed him.
Eddie!
He's still alive.
Get some water.
Can't be too many
places to hide around here.
Check them all.
(moaning)
He's coming to.
We better go.
I'm not leaving him.
He'll have plenty of
company any minute now.
I'm sure his son warned
every cop in the county.
But I'm not leaving
till he's all right.
Look, Scoville's helicopter
is due in 40 minutes.
We have to avoid the police
and your people
during that time.
You know, sometimes I think
you're less human than I am.
You're perfectly willing
to just leave him here?
I didn't hit him, and
I didn't kill anyone,
so don't give me
lectures on humanity.
All right?
David.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about everything.
Trouble?
There's been a murder
at the Cape View Camp.
My father.
Oh, I'm, uh, sorry, uh...
is the sheriff on it?
He's up at Pine Ridge.
They just radioed him.
He's on his way in.
Any idea who did it?
A woman.
Know her name?
Anne Gibbs.
Where can I find her?
Last I heard, she was
waiting for a helicopter
to pick her up.
To take her to Washington.
Pick her up where?
At the camp.
The playing field.
Don't worry, son,
we'll take over.
With this tail wind,
we ought to make
it in 20 minutes.
That's Arbor City just below.
Hank.
Yeah.
You found that killer yet?
Hank, we're going to need
a signed statement
about what happened
over here this morning from you.
There's a murderer
running around loose
and you're worrying
about statements.
We think we've
got her identified.
Name is Anne Gibbs.
You sure?
It just came over the wire.
Attempted murder
over in Cape View.
She and that David
Vincent fellow.
While you're
standing around here
letting the grass
grow under your feet.
Hank, you know that's
not in my jurisdiction.
That girl could kill a dozen
people before you get started.
Hank, we're working on it.
There's a report of a helicopter
going to pick them up and
take them to Washington.
Maybe I will just, uh..
Run over there
and check that out.
Listen, you need help
down in Washington, DC,
I got good connections.
No, thanks.
Now, listen, you know my
old deputy, Orrin Jacoby.
He's a big muckety-muck
with the Justice Department.
Hank, I can handle this.
Now, you just file that
statement, all right?
Kate, get me the
long distance operator.
I want to talk to
Washington, DC.
Faster.
That's him.
Anne?
I'm sorry it's been
so tough on you.
When you get to Washington,
we'll see that
you're treated better.
There's some very important
people waiting to meet you.
Some of ours and some of hers.
My wife's cousin has a place
just outside of Washington.
We'll stay away
from the airports.
Land in an open field someplace.
The Justice Department's
lined up a meeting
with half a dozen top people.
We can pick any of 20
different routes into Washington.
There's no way
they can stop us now.
Now sit back.
Enjoy the scenery.
This is Corwin.
I want you to contact the
Washington tracking station.
That helicopter
coming in from Virginia...
I want to know
exactly where it lands.
(beeping)
Corwin.
MALE VOICE: The helicopter
landed 40 minutes ago
in a field 27 miles
southwest of Washington.
Every man in the area is
being made available to you.
Wally? Edgar Scoville.
Sorry to wake you
at this ungodly hour.
No, I'm all right.
We landed a
while ago in Fairfax.
Wally, I've got a job for you.
It's confidential, it's urgent
and it must be done by 6:00 A.M.
I want you to go to the motor
pool at our Washington plant...
(radio playing violin solo)
(turns off radio)
Good morning.
At 3:55 this morning,
a helicopter landed
in Fairfax Park.
One of your taxis went
into the park empty
and came out with three persons.
I want to know where your
cab took those passengers
and I haven't got much time.
See anything?
Car should be
here at 6:00 sharp.
Just a few more minutes.
Will we go straight
to Washington?
Direct to your official meeting.
Let me get you some more coffee.
Think of it... You're
about to become
the most important
woman in two worlds.
Will you be with me, David?
At the meeting?
Wouldn't miss it.
It frightens me...
"the most important
woman in two worlds"
and I don't fit into either.
(honks horn)
Truck's here.
Let's go.
Uh-uh. Back door.
(honks)
An old green sedan,
license 2-6-J-9-O-4,
driving north to
Hudson Boulevard.
(car approaching)
(gunshot)
Get help.
Get behind that car.
David!
I'm giving myself up.
No.
Let her go.
All right, now,
let's all go quietly.
Stop it!
We'll cover you
in case any more
of them show up.
The last mile.
How do you feel?
Nervous.
No, worse... scared.
They're waiting.
All right, let's go.
(groans)
She killed my wife.
David...
David...
David...
Did you see that?
Did you see that?
Tell them what you saw.
Go on, tell them!
Do you think I convinced them?
Half a dozen people
testified how she died.
They can't think
you're all cranks.
I was a sheriff
for over 20 years.
They can't think I'm a crank.
It's a rotten shame.
She could have
ended this nightmare
once and for all.
She could have
helped every one of us.
The whole human race.
If he hadn't been
so damned human.
NARRATOR: Eyewitness testimony
to the presence of the invader,
another piece in the mosaic
and soon the picture that
David Vincent sees there
will be seen by all.
Today, the road ahead
seems not quite so steep.

In other words,
you're selling out.
I don't buy it.
I'm not turning against them.
They turned against me.
I'm not one of them anymore.
My life has become
valuable to me.
It could be to you.
Wait here. I have
to make a phone call.
Yes, operator.
A collect call to New York...
Person-to-person
to Mr. Edgar Scoville.
S-c-o-v-i-l-l-e.
Scoville Electronics,
New York City.
Hi. Be with you
in just a minute.
Now, you were talking
about the Florentine style.
Here's a clock I think
you'd be very interested in.
I got this on a trade
so it's pretty
reasonable right now.
Very attractive, isn't it?
I'm sure she's telling the truth
and she's willing to go
to Washington with us.
We have to move fast.
All right, David.
I'll bring a helicopter
to pick you up.
But we can't possibly
GET THERE BEFORE 3:00.
That's a long time
to stay out of sight.
The aliens are after
her and so are the police.
The police?
Now, you know this area.
Where can we hide out?
Hold on a minute.
Would you like to see
what I have outside?
Oh, David.
Charlie McKay has a
summer camp in Cape View.
That's not too far
from Arbor City.
Good. Will you call him?
I'm not sure it's a good idea,
especially if the
police are involved.
We don't have time to be choosy.
We know we can trust him.
All right, I'll set things up.
Start looking for
us at about 3:00.
There's a baseball field there.
All right, I'll see you then.
Excuse me.
How far is it to Cape View?
Cape View?
That's about 70, 75 miles.
This highway
takes you right to it.
It's a fabulous drive.
Thanks.
Oh, have you seen anything
here that interests you?
Still looking.
You all right?
Let's go.
Sure there's nothing
I can help you with?
No, thank you.
Well, be sure to come back.
Our pewter sale
begins next Monday.
(car engine starting)
(tires squealing)
Hey, you, hold on!
That's funny.
He told us to meet him here.
Hello.
Oh, hi there, Mr. Willis.
Hi.
That young couple
that just left here...
Do you know them?
Should I?
Are they, uh, some
kind of fugitives?
Why would you
say a thing like that?
Do you know something?
I'd better call the sheriff.
Just a minute.
I was sheriff here
for over 20 years
and anything you
can tell Halloway,
you can tell me.
Well, now you wouldn't want me
to get in trouble with the
law, would you, Mr. Willis?
Besides, Sheriff Halloway,
he's one of my best customers.
Well...
how much?
Oh, that... 98 cents.
There you are, ten dollars.
I, uh, don't have any change.
I thought so.
Where did they go?
Cape View.
Are you sure?
I just gave them directions.
You save this for
Sheriff Halloway
when he retires.
Buying some
antiques, Mr. Willis?
WILLIS: Never mind.
I found this in
your station wagon.
The grief-stricken
husband seeking revenge.
Give that to me.
Why, you must know something
the sheriff doesn't know.
I know you told a
lie about that woman.
Fat, 40, blonde, frizzly hair.
You've seen her?
Maybe.
Mr. Willis...
I lied to the sheriff
for a good reason.
I want him busy elsewhere.
This case is bigger
than anyone realizes.
Justice Department.
Special Investigator.
Oh, say, you know Orrin Jacoby?
He's with the
Justice Department.
Used to be my deputy
four or five years ago.
Where's the girl, Mr. Willis?
This is not cops and
robbers anymore.
This is national security.
She's gone to Cape
View with David Vincent.
You've done
your job, Mr. Willis.
Now stay out of it.
We will not tolerate
interference from anyone.
You understand that.
Is the camp open
this time of year?
No.
Professor McKay
and his son live there.
He's a retired geologist.
Do they know about...?
Aliens?
Oh, yes.
They know about aliens.
Charlie and his wife
were on a field trip once.
They ran across
an alien outpost.
Your friends began
chasing them for miles.
Charlie was driving
like a madman.
The car went out of control.
He had a head-on
collision with another car.
His wife and the
other driver were killed.
He was convicted
of manslaughter.
He just finished
18 months in prison.
Why? It wasn't his fault.
What could he tell them?
Creatures from another planet
were chasing him?
Does Professor McKay
know that I'm an... alien?
I'm sure Scoville told him.
David, I-I don't want
to go to that camp.
They're expecting us.
A helicopter is meeting us there
to take us to Washington.
David, my people turned
his life into a nightmare.
How can you expect
him to help me?
By helping you, we hope
to end this nightmare.
That's what this is all about.
I'm not going to that camp.
You're in no position
to be dictating terms.
What do you mean?
Figure it out for yourself.
You killed my people, and
your people don't want you.
Stop the car.
No chance.
Stop the car!
I'm getting out!
No, no.
I'm getting out!
No!
I'm not your prisoner!
I'm nobody's prisoner!
Now you know what I'm like.
Dad, I...
Eddie, I asked
you to start the fire.
Sorry, Dad.
Won't things get warm
enough without it?
Mr. Scoville is
landing his helicopter
on the playing field.
I hope there aren't
too many gopher holes.
Maybe we'll need them to hide in
if the police show up.
They won't.
Are you sure?
She's running from the cops.
If they find her here, you...
It's a calculated risk.
You're the one with a record.
You're the one who
might go back to prison.
Nobody seems to care about that.
I don't want her here, Dad.
She... Eddie, simmer down.
I know how you feel.
Maybe I feel that
way, too, but...
it'll be okay.
Okay?
Well, David.
Hello, Charles.
It's good to see you again.
Good to see you.
Come in.
Anne Gibbs, Charles McKay.
Miss Gibbs and
Mr. Vincent, my son, Eddie.
Hello, Ed.
Sit down, please.
May I get you a drink?
No, thank you.
Is there someplace
I can hide the car?
I'd feel better if it
were out of sight.
By all means.
Eddie, will you show Mr. Vincent
where he can hide his car?
I'll show him nothing.
He's got no right putting
your life on the line like this.
Show him, Eddie.
My apologies, Miss Gibbs.
My son is a bit overprotective.
He's just more honest
than the rest of us.
One of the privileges of youth.
You have that same
privilege, Professor.
I think you already
know my opinion of you.
I'm a little surprised
you came here.
Well, it wasn't my idea.
Believe it or not, I don't
think I have the right
to expect you to help me.
I don't believe you.
I think I'd better leave.
You're not going anywhere.
Not until we tell you to.
You have no right
to keep me here.
Haven't I?
I paid for the
right, Miss Gibbs,
with my wife, my leg, my career.
Now, you sit down.
Get away from that door.
No chance.
Get away from that door! No!
(yelling)
Dad.
David, help me.
Now do you see?
She killed him.
Eddie!
He's still alive.
Get some water.
Can't be too many
places to hide around here.
Check them all.
(moaning)
He's coming to.
We better go.
I'm not leaving him.
He'll have plenty of
company any minute now.
I'm sure his son warned
every cop in the county.
But I'm not leaving
till he's all right.
Look, Scoville's helicopter
is due in 40 minutes.
We have to avoid the police
and your people
during that time.
You know, sometimes I think
you're less human than I am.
You're perfectly willing
to just leave him here?
I didn't hit him, and
I didn't kill anyone,
so don't give me
lectures on humanity.
All right?
David.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about everything.
Trouble?
There's been a murder
at the Cape View Camp.
My father.
Oh, I'm, uh, sorry, uh...
is the sheriff on it?
He's up at Pine Ridge.
They just radioed him.
He's on his way in.
Any idea who did it?
A woman.
Know her name?
Anne Gibbs.
Where can I find her?
Last I heard, she was
waiting for a helicopter
to pick her up.
To take her to Washington.
Pick her up where?
At the camp.
The playing field.
Don't worry, son,
we'll take over.
With this tail wind,
we ought to make
it in 20 minutes.
That's Arbor City just below.
Hank.
Yeah.
You found that killer yet?
Hank, we're going to need
a signed statement
about what happened
over here this morning from you.
There's a murderer
running around loose
and you're worrying
about statements.
We think we've
got her identified.
Name is Anne Gibbs.
You sure?
It just came over the wire.
Attempted murder
over in Cape View.
She and that David
Vincent fellow.
While you're
standing around here
letting the grass
grow under your feet.
Hank, you know that's
not in my jurisdiction.
That girl could kill a dozen
people before you get started.
Hank, we're working on it.
There's a report of a helicopter
going to pick them up and
take them to Washington.
Maybe I will just, uh..
Run over there
and check that out.
Listen, you need help
down in Washington, DC,
I got good connections.
No, thanks.
Now, listen, you know my
old deputy, Orrin Jacoby.
He's a big muckety-muck
with the Justice Department.
Hank, I can handle this.
Now, you just file that
statement, all right?
Kate, get me the
long distance operator.
I want to talk to
Washington, DC.
Faster.
That's him.
Anne?
I'm sorry it's been
so tough on you.
When you get to Washington,
we'll see that
you're treated better.
There's some very important
people waiting to meet you.
Some of ours and some of hers.
My wife's cousin has a place
just outside of Washington.
We'll stay away
from the airports.
Land in an open field someplace.
The Justice Department's
lined up a meeting
with half a dozen top people.
We can pick any of 20
different routes into Washington.
There's no way
they can stop us now.
Now sit back.
Enjoy the scenery.
This is Corwin.
I want you to contact the
Washington tracking station.
That helicopter
coming in from Virginia...
I want to know
exactly where it lands.
(beeping)
Corwin.
MALE VOICE: The helicopter
landed 40 minutes ago
in a field 27 miles
southwest of Washington.
Every man in the area is
being made available to you.
Wally? Edgar Scoville.
Sorry to wake you
at this ungodly hour.
No, I'm all right.
We landed a
while ago in Fairfax.
Wally, I've got a job for you.
It's confidential, it's urgent
and it must be done by 6:00 A.M.
I want you to go to the motor
pool at our Washington plant...
(radio playing violin solo)
(turns off radio)
Good morning.
At 3:55 this morning,
a helicopter landed
in Fairfax Park.
One of your taxis went
into the park empty
and came out with three persons.
I want to know where your
cab took those passengers
and I haven't got much time.
See anything?
Car should be
here at 6:00 sharp.
Just a few more minutes.
Will we go straight
to Washington?
Direct to your official meeting.
Let me get you some more coffee.
Think of it... You're
about to become
the most important
woman in two worlds.
Will you be with me, David?
At the meeting?
Wouldn't miss it.
It frightens me...
"the most important
woman in two worlds"
and I don't fit into either.
(honks horn)
Truck's here.
Let's go.
Uh-uh. Back door.
(honks)
An old green sedan,
license 2-6-J-9-O-4,
driving north to
Hudson Boulevard.
(car approaching)
(gunshot)
Get help.
Get behind that car.
David!
I'm giving myself up.
No.
Let her go.
All right, now,
let's all go quietly.
Stop it!
We'll cover you
in case any more
of them show up.
The last mile.
How do you feel?
Nervous.
No, worse... scared.
They're waiting.
All right, let's go.
(groans)
She killed my wife.
David...
David...
David...
Did you see that?
Did you see that?
Tell them what you saw.
Go on, tell them!
Do you think I convinced them?
Half a dozen people
testified how she died.
They can't think
you're all cranks.
I was a sheriff
for over 20 years.
They can't think I'm a crank.
It's a rotten shame.
She could have
ended this nightmare
once and for all.
She could have
helped every one of us.
The whole human race.
If he hadn't been
so damned human.
NARRATOR: Eyewitness testimony
to the presence of the invader,
another piece in the mosaic
and soon the picture that
David Vincent sees there
will be seen by all.
Today, the road ahead
seems not quite so steep.
