01:41I'm coming.
01:43I'll be with you.
01:49Ah, somebody at the door.
01:51Would you like to come in, officer, sir?
01:58I'll never know why I let you talk me into this, Christopher Harding.
02:01Because in the first place, the book tells you to search for missing kiddies in his own home, right?
02:05Are you gentlemen come about, my Robert?
02:08Yes, yes. I'm afraid we're going to have to search your shop.
02:11That is, if you don't mind.
02:13I don't see the point of it, officer.
02:15You should be out there looking for my poor lost grandson,
02:18not coming in here and tramping all over the place and treating an old man like...
02:22We are looking for your grandson, sir.
02:25That is why we are searching your shop.
02:27You're not going to find him under there, are you, officer?
02:29If he was here, I wouldn't have called the police, would I?
02:32Just a matter of routine, I do assure you, sir.
02:34A what?
02:35Routine, sir.
02:36Oh, you can do your routine if you like, but don't mess up the shop.
02:39It's down there. Shall I lead the way?
02:41Yeah, you lead the way. It's down there.
02:43All right. Thank you very much, Harding.
02:45I'm in charge of his investigation, if you don't mind.
02:47Thank you.
02:53Very big feet they've got. They never do a routine with feet that size.
02:59Oh, here we go.
03:01Hide the stolen property.
03:07Thank you.
03:09All right, Harding, you have had your little laugh.
03:11We will now proceed in an orderly manner to the station
03:14where we will throw the book at you.
03:16But it was here. I swear it was here.
03:18And John, this friend of mine with the special powers,
03:21he was locked up in a dungeon.
03:23Oh, yes, yes.
03:25Look, Harding, if you think you can dodge what's coming to you
03:28by trying out the old Tweety Bird act on a trick cyclist,
03:30you have got another thing coming.
03:32But it was here!
03:34It was here!
03:36John!
03:38John!
03:39If I was to kiss you, Harding, would you turn into a beautiful princess
03:42and tell me that a wicked witch had put a spell upon you?
03:45Come on, lad, I've heard enough fairy stories for one day.
03:48Oh, they've walled him up.
03:51They've walled him up!
03:55They've walled him up!
04:04They've walled him up!
04:34They've walled him up!
05:04They've walled him up!
05:24Mr Law, come here, Priscilla.
05:30I'm coming.
05:32I'll be with you.
05:37Ah, somebody at the door.
05:39Would you like to come in, officer, sir?

07:02But it was here. I swear it was here.
07:04And John, this friend of mine with the special powers,
07:08he was locked up in a dungeon.
07:10Oh, yes, yes.
07:12Look, Harding, if you think you can dodge what's coming to you

07:30Come on, lad, I've heard enough fairy stories for one day.
07:33Oh, they've awed him up.
07:36They've awed him up!
07:50Ah!
08:16Ah!
08:18Stop that!
08:21What's the dungeon? They put the shells out to hide it!
08:24Oh, come on, boy, look at the dust.
08:26Those shells have been there for years.
08:28You've been reading too many horror comics, Harding.
08:30What's going on down there?
08:32It sounds as if you're tearing the place apart.
08:34Sorry about your sheriff, sir.
08:36Ha! I know him.
08:37He's one of the people who broke in the other night and tried to smash the place up.
08:41You ran off when you saw my gun, my boy, didn't you?
08:43You had no stomach for a fight.
08:45Gun? What gun? You got a licence for that, sir?
08:47Now you're bringing the police in to help you finish the job.
08:49No, sir, no, we didn't. He...
08:51Instead of tearing the place apart and destroying an old man's home and business,
08:54you should be out there looking for my poor lost grandson.
08:57If he's still alive, if this lunatic hasn't murdered him...
09:01Murdered? You didn't murder him, did you, Harding?
09:03No!
09:04No, now, that's right, cos if it was murder,
09:06they'd have taken me off the case and given it to someone from Scotland Yard.
09:09Oi! Get out!
09:11He's escaping!
09:13He's escaping!
09:17I warn you, Harding!
09:19The judge will lock you up and throw you in a pee!
09:26Harding!
09:31Harding!
09:34I think it's time I explained things to you.
09:38Which world are you from, by the way?
09:40I'm from Earth.
09:43Chris!
09:44But you were arrested!
09:46Don't call me Houdini Harding for nothing, you know.
09:48That saves us the trouble of rescuing you.
09:50Yeah, but it doesn't finish there. They're still after me.
09:52And they're going to try and pin the murder of that kid onto me,
09:54unless you can help me.
09:56We shall help you.
09:58We shall help you.
10:00They're going to try and pin the murder of that kid onto me,
10:02unless you can help me.
10:03We shall, Chris. I will destroy their computer records,
10:06and one of the tomorrow people will erase the memory from their minds.
10:09But later, when we have cleared up this business of John and the blue and the green.
10:13Fair enough.
10:14We were planning another attack on the junk shop.
10:16Well, there's no point in that. There's nothing there any more.
10:18What?
10:19Nothing. The police took me back there. That's where I just escaped from.
10:21Nothing but a dusty cellar full of boxes and shelves.
10:24What about the dungeon? I saw it!
10:26Sure did I, but there's nothing there now.
10:30You might say that I am from this world, but not of it, if you see what I mean.
10:34Actually, no, I don't.
10:36Well, I shall try to explain.
10:38You must forgive me for being hazy.
10:41I have nothing to guide me but the ancient knowledge,
10:44the instincts long buried deep inside me and only now emerging.
10:47Carry on.
10:49I was born on Earth.
10:51Who were your parents?
10:52I don't know. I never knew them.
10:54Oh, sorry. Go on.
10:56It is not the way of our species to raise their own young.
10:59We fly freely through space without need of spaceships,
11:02much as a bird flies through the air.
11:05Our eggs are laid on many different planets
11:07and provisions are made for their incubation and hatching.
11:10What, like cuckoos?
11:11Yes. The analogy had struck me when I began to realise what I am.
11:15Do you hatch from an egg?
11:16No.
11:17No, but I don't understand.
11:18What you call eggs are made to look like the most dominant life form on the host planet.
11:23You mean in human form?
11:26Yes.
11:29Well, how many of you are there?
11:30Thousands.
11:33I see.
11:35Well, you know who we are. Is there any way in which we can help you?
11:38No. Indeed, you must try to stop us.
11:41Stop you? But I don't understand.
11:42You won't stop us because after the hatching comes the swarming.
11:45Swarming?
11:47We swarm off into space and leave the Earth in peace.
11:50What's left of it.
11:51What do you mean?
11:53For the swarming, we have to charge ourselves with energy.
11:56What's that?
11:57A very special kind of energy.
11:59The energy that is radiated by human beings only in the act of violence.
12:04You mean you have to get human beings to commit acts of violence to provide the energy you need?
12:08I'm afraid so.
12:11So that's the reason for the paintings and all the blue and green business.
12:15Yes.
12:19My mother returned to Earth to lay her eggs because she was born here.
12:23Just her.
12:25We were alone in the ancient city of Constantinople in the last years of the Roman Empire.
12:30To get the energy she needed, my mother split the people of the city into two factions.
12:35The blue and the green.
12:37I know. I read about it in Gibbons.
12:39There were weeks and weeks of rioting.
12:41Thousands of people were killed shortly after the Roman Empire collapsed.
12:44Yes. And that was just for the swarming of my mother.
12:48This time, there are thousands of us waiting to hatch all over the world.
12:55You're right, of course. We'll have to stop your swarming, all of you.
12:58Even if it means killing us?
13:00Because if we fail to swarm at the proper time, we'll die.
13:03What's the alternative?
13:04If you do swarm, thousands of people will die on Earth in the riots and fighting.
13:08My course is clear, I'm afraid. I must not let anything stop the swarming.
13:12We wouldn't. Couldn't do that.
13:13If you let me go, we'd try to help.
13:15You wouldn't stop the swarming?
13:16No. But we would stop the rioting on Earth.
13:19Try and find some other way to give you the energy you need.
13:22I kept you prisoner because I thought your friends with their superpowers
13:25would try to rescue you and release a lot of violent energy.
13:29But that didn't happen.
13:31Nor would it. But tomorrow, people have no violent energy.
13:34Only the sacks have that.
13:36So I gather.
13:38All right. I'll let you go.
13:43Tim, don't you think it's about time we asked for help from the Galactic Tree?
13:46John!
13:47Hey, how'd you manage to escape?
13:48I didn't. They let me go.
13:49Why would I have to go into all that trouble?
13:50I haven't got time for explanations.
13:52What's the world's situation on riots right now, Tim?
13:54Not good would be an understatement.
14:05Does the Galactic Federation have any record of the Denigili, Tim?
14:08That's what Robert says they call themselves.
14:10No. Nothing is known.
14:12But from what you have told us, John,
14:14the preparation for the swarming must have already begun in many parts of the world.
14:21The time is almost ready.
14:23I must finish the painting.
14:25Without it, the humans will not write and we cannot swarm.
14:36Trouble is, if we stop the swarming, thousands of the Denigili will die.
14:39And if we don't, thousands, perhaps millions of human beings will die.
14:43People are going to die whatever we do.
14:46Hey, look at Chris.
14:47In the middle of all this, he's fallen asleep.
14:49I suppose having a nightmare in his sleep is preferable to living awake in one.
14:59Rems!
15:00What?
15:01Rems, that's it. Have an eye movement.
15:04Well, Chris may be asleep, but look at him.
15:06Whatever he's dreaming about, he's certainly living through it.
15:09It's no idea.
15:10I don't know.
15:11Chris may be asleep, but look at him.
15:13Whatever he's dreaming about, he's certainly living through it.
15:16It's no idea.
15:17What are you two on about?
15:18You'll see in a minute. Let's wake him up, Stephen.
15:20He needs to sleep. He must be exhausted.
15:22Chris.
15:25Oh, sorry. I must have dozed off.
15:26That's all right.
