00:08:17♪♪
00:08:22Oh, please, somebody answer.
00:08:47♪♪
00:08:57♪♪
00:09:09Hey, wait a minute.
00:09:11♪♪
00:09:18Gah!
00:09:19♪♪
00:09:31♪♪
00:09:40Keep away from me.
00:09:42Don't come any closer.
00:09:44Take it easy.
00:09:45I'm not going to hurt you.
00:09:46No.
00:09:50Oh!
00:09:53That's more like it.
00:09:54Ah!
00:09:55Now, calm down.
00:09:56Let me go.
00:09:58Please.
00:09:59Relax.
00:10:00I am not going to hurt you.
00:10:03Then why did you chase me?
00:10:06Why did you run?
00:10:08I was afraid.
00:10:10That girl in the street, I thought...
00:10:12That I killed her?
00:10:14Now, look, it won't make you feel any better.
00:10:16Think this over.
00:10:17If I had killed her, I'd be miles away from here by now,
00:10:19wouldn't I?
00:10:23I suppose you're right.
00:10:26It's just that the whole city's so quiet and empty.
00:10:30What could have happened?
00:10:33I wish I knew.
00:10:36Everything since dinner last night is a complete blank to me.
00:10:40I don't understand.
00:10:42I only got here from Detroit yesterday afternoon.
00:10:45Just killing time between trains.
00:10:48I should have known better than to flash a big roll in a bar.
00:10:52You mean you were robbed?
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:55And slugged and dumped in an alley.
00:10:58Then you were unconscious through most of the night.
00:11:01I came to about noon.
00:11:03The only thing I had left was a headache.
00:11:07I guess I owe you an apology.
00:11:11Well, that makes us even.
00:11:14You know the way back to the center of town?
00:11:16Yes.
00:11:17Well, we'd better get moving.
00:11:22We have a lot better chance of finding out what's happened when we get there.
00:11:26Not that it's so important at a time like this,
00:11:29but my name is Frank Brooks.
00:11:31I'm... I'm Nora King.
00:11:33Hi.
00:11:34Hello.
00:11:35How come you're still in town?
00:11:37I was asleep in my room, and the door was locked.
00:11:40Well, then you haven't any idea what happened last night.
00:11:43No.
00:11:44Have you?
00:11:45Well, there's been an evacuation of some kind,
00:11:47but the question is why.
00:11:49D.H. bomb.
00:11:50Maybe there's gonna be an attack.
00:11:52Oh, it's possible, but I don't think so.
00:11:54The enemy wouldn't give us advance notice of a thing like that.
00:11:57What about our radar system?
00:11:59Four or five hours warning at best.
00:12:02It's taken at least twice that long to evacuate the city.
00:12:05Well, then how about germ warfare?
00:12:07There's been a lot of talk about that.
00:12:09The water isn't running.
00:12:10As far as that goes, none of the utilities are working.
00:12:12Well, in that case, there'd still be patrols around town.
00:12:15The army, the police, civilian defense.
00:12:18Well, for some reason, they had to get everybody out of town.
00:12:21But there were half a million people here.
00:12:23Half a million people here yesterday.
00:12:25Now, for all we know, they're just the two of us left.
00:12:28Doesn't make sense.
00:12:30It has to.
00:12:31It happened.
00:12:32In about 12 hours, too.
00:12:35I wonder if there's anyone else left in town.
00:12:38Probably a few.
00:12:40You ever try to empty a sack of sugar?
00:12:42Hmm?
00:12:43What's that got to do with it?
00:12:44Some of the grains always stick to the sack,
00:12:46like the two of us.
00:12:48Something tells me we'd better get out of here fast.
00:12:51Where would you like to go, bus or taxi?
00:12:54I'm serious, Nora.
00:12:55The only reason they'd clear out an entire city like this
00:12:57would be to get away from certain death.
00:12:59That would mean anyone still here is...
00:13:02well, a dead pigeon.
00:13:04It's funny.
00:13:05I was so anxious trying to find somebody, anybody,
00:13:07that I never thought of that.
00:13:08I did.
00:13:10You don't seem to be worried at all.
00:13:12Maybe not.
00:13:13Not of dying, anyway.
00:13:15Dying is such a normal thing, but nobody around...
00:13:18We'd better start walking toward the center of town.
00:13:21If we only knew how much time we have.
00:13:48It's no use.
00:13:49You won't find anyone in there, either.
00:13:51I know, but I just had an idea.
00:13:53If we could get our hands on a portable battery radio,
00:13:55we might be able to...
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:59Oh.
00:14:00Oh.
00:14:01Oh.
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:03Oh.
00:14:04Oh.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:06Oh.
00:14:07Oh.
00:14:08Oh.
00:14:09Oh.
00:14:10Oh.
00:14:11Oh.
00:14:12Oh.
00:14:13Oh.
00:14:14Oh.
00:14:15Oh.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:17Here, let me take your bag for a minute.
00:14:19What are you going to do?
00:14:20Here, hold this.
00:14:23Now stand back so you don't get cut by flying glass.
00:14:33Well, so far so good.
00:14:36You know, they shoot people for looting at times like this.
00:14:38I don't care, just till we find a radio that works.
00:14:42I don't see any.
00:14:44You check that display case.
00:14:45I'll see if there's anything back here.
00:14:46Frank, look.
00:14:48I'm afraid you're wasting your time.
00:14:49The phones are out, too.
00:14:50I checked a couple of them earlier.
00:14:58Any luck?
00:15:00I'm afraid not.
00:15:02Looks like you're not doing too well, even.
00:15:04Oh, we're not licked yet.
00:15:06Let's try the back room.
00:15:10Well, this is more like it.
00:15:12There must be at least one set in all this junk.
00:15:14Well, ordinarily, I suppose there would be,
00:15:16but portables would be at a premium at a time like this.
00:15:19The army probably ordered everyone who could to carry one.
00:15:28Nora, I found one.
00:15:30Turn it on quick.
00:15:34Oh, no battery.
00:15:37I'll probably ship them separately.
00:15:39There must be one somewhere.
00:15:42It's no use, Nora.
00:15:43I've already checked that shelf.
00:15:45There isn't a battery in the place.
00:15:47We're right back where we started.
00:15:49Well, at least we're still alive.
00:15:50But for how long?
00:15:52It's getting worse every minute, isn't it?
00:15:54Look, we'd better get out of here.
00:15:55We can't afford to waste any more time.
00:16:07What's that?
00:16:08Be quiet and listen.
00:16:10Sounds like a piano.
00:16:13It's coming from up the street.
00:16:15Well, let's take a look.
00:16:24The whole town's deserted.
00:16:26We might be blown up any minute,
00:16:27and somebody's in there playing the piano
00:16:29as if they didn't even care.
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:32Wait here while I check.
00:16:33You mean alone?
00:16:37All right.
00:16:38Come on, but be quiet.
00:17:08Oh, no.
00:17:11Waiter.
00:17:12Waiter!
00:17:13The well's gone dry.
00:17:16What kind of a joint is this, anyway?
00:17:19Treat a lady like that.
00:17:23Well, it'll be.
00:17:25Paul Roger, 43, or, uh,
00:17:27Bollinger, 48.
00:17:29Makes no difference.
00:17:30Just so it's wet.
00:17:32Right.
00:17:33If that's good enough for you, it's good enough.
00:17:35Let's have one of each.
00:17:38All right.
00:17:48Like old times, eh, Vicki?
00:17:50Are you kidding me?
00:17:52When'd you ever buy me champagne?
00:17:54Oh, I was saving it for our honeymoon.
00:17:56Look.
00:17:57Niagara Falls.
00:17:59Well, what do you know?
00:18:00After ten years, I finally made it.
00:18:03I don't understand.
00:18:05They're celebrating as though it were New Year's Eve.
00:18:08Maybe they just like privacy.
00:18:10You know, they're crazier than we are.
00:18:13Only one way to find out.
00:18:15Come on.
00:18:19Well, what do you know?
00:18:20Hey, Vicki, we got guests.
00:18:22What did I tell you?
00:18:24We weren't the only ones left behind.
00:18:26Come on, sit down.
00:18:27Join the party.
00:18:28Hey, what are you two doing here?
00:18:30Waiter, glasses, please.
00:18:32Very good, madam.
00:18:33Now, look, the whole city's deserted.
00:18:35We've been all over town looking for someone.
00:18:37What are you doing here?
00:18:38Living, man.
00:18:39Really living.
00:18:41Hey, you ain't the guy that owns this dump, are you?
00:18:44No.
00:18:45Pardon me.
00:18:46I'm Nora King.
00:18:47This is Frank Brooks from Detroit.
00:18:49Detroit, huh?
00:18:50You sure picked a fine time to visit this town.
00:18:53You can say that again.
00:18:55You sure picked a fine time.
00:18:57All right.
00:18:58We heard you the first time.
00:19:00That's Vicki Harris.
00:19:01Never shuts up.
00:19:02I'm Jim Wilson.
00:19:03Well, now that we're all friends,
00:19:04how about some champagne?
00:19:05You mean you're going to sit here and whoop it up
00:19:07when heaven knows what's going to happen or when?
00:19:10Not just here, lady.
00:19:11There are a lot of high-class joints
00:19:12who always wanted to crash.
00:19:14The St. Regis, the Ritz.
00:19:15We're going to hit them all.
00:19:16That's what you said last night.
00:19:18Now look at the spot we're in.
00:19:20Hey, honey, you look like you could stand something to eat.
00:19:23At a time like this, no thanks.
00:19:25No, wait a minute, Nora.
00:19:26She's right.
00:19:27We'd better have something
00:19:28while we figure out what to do next.
00:19:30What?
00:19:31There's everything in the joint
00:19:32from roast turkey to salami.
00:19:34I'll see what I can whip up.
00:19:36Uh, doll face.
00:19:37Fill her up.
00:19:39I said I wanted a drink, not a bath.
00:19:44How about a little more turkey?
00:19:46Not me.
00:19:47One more bite and I'd split my girdle.
00:19:49I know just what you mean.
00:19:50You know, there's no telling how long it'll be
00:19:52before we run across any more food like this.
00:19:54We ought to try to figure out a way to take some with us.
00:19:57What makes you think we're going anywhere?
00:19:59Well, use your head.
00:20:00You can't stay here indefinitely.
00:20:02Why not?
00:20:03We're doing all right.
00:20:04Maybe, but our luck can't hold out forever.
00:20:06We should at least try to get out of town.
00:20:08What?
00:20:09And leave all this?
00:20:10Not on your life.
00:20:11We never had it so good.
00:20:12Right, Vicki?
00:20:13Right.
00:20:14Why spoil the party?
00:20:16First decent joint you've taken me to in 10 years.
00:20:19That's only because it's free.
00:20:21Fill her up.
00:20:24Crazy dame.
00:20:29You know, this isn't the only good nightclub in town.
00:20:32Why don't we try the, uh, Club Royale?
00:20:35Now you're talking.
00:20:37What?
00:20:38That's over five miles away on the main highway.
00:20:40Well, whatever.
00:20:41There ought to be plenty of places along the way we can stop.
00:20:43And who knows?
00:20:44We may even find a portable radio while we're at it.
00:20:47Well, if you put it like that.
00:20:49OK.
00:20:50Let's go.
00:20:52Whoa.
00:20:53You sure you can make it?
00:20:55Are you kidding?
00:20:57Come on, honey.
00:20:58I'm with you.
00:21:20Well, swing low, sweet chariot.
00:21:22Just when my feet were beginning to kill me.
00:21:25Be my guest.
00:21:32His face.
00:21:34Just like the girl in the alley.
00:21:36I think I'm going to be sick.
00:21:38Better give Vicki a hand.
00:21:41How do you think it happened?
00:21:43I don't know.
00:21:44I don't know.
00:21:45I don't know.
00:21:46I don't know.
00:21:47I don't know.
00:21:48How do you think it happened?
00:21:50Wish I knew.
00:21:52The keys are still in ignition.
00:21:54Help me get them out of the way.
00:22:01Let's see if we can get this thing started.
00:22:12No use.
00:22:13The battery's probably dead.
00:22:14The battery must be dead.
00:22:16The radio doesn't work either.
00:22:18Let's have a look under the hood.
00:22:25Looks like somebody beat us to it.
00:22:27Let's hope I'm a better mechanic than he was.
00:22:35What's wrong?
00:22:39Distributor cap is off and the arm is missing.
00:22:42What does that mean in English?
00:22:45It means you can't get the engine started.
00:22:50Who are you?
00:22:51Otis is the name.
00:22:52Charles Otis.
00:22:54I hope I didn't frighten you.
00:22:56Oh, no.
00:22:57I always shake like this.
00:22:59What are you doing here?
00:23:00Trying to get out of town.
00:23:01Like yourselves.
00:23:03Only it won't do any good to look for a car in running condition.
00:23:05What makes you so sure of that?
00:23:07I've tried a half a dozen in the last three or four miles.
00:23:10The distributor arms are missing.
00:23:12In all of them.
00:23:13Who are you trying to kid?
00:23:14Not so fast, Jim.
00:23:15Seems to me they did something like this in England during the war
00:23:18when they thought they'd be invaded.
00:23:19Did what?
00:23:20Order the distributor caps removed whenever a car was left unattended.
00:23:23But that still doesn't explain why he was killed.
00:23:25Well, here's one gal that's not going to hang around wondering.
00:23:28Even if I have to walk clear out of this state.
00:23:30Which way did you come?
00:23:32From the north.
00:23:33Uptown.
00:23:34You'd never believe it.
00:23:35The whole town's a wreck.
00:23:37Windows smashed.
00:23:38Houses and stores wrecked.
00:23:40There must have been a lot of looting before everyone cleared out.
00:23:43That figures.
00:23:44Did you see any people?
00:23:46About a dozen.
00:23:47Like that.
00:23:49They all seemed to be killed the same way.
00:23:52There was one guy.
00:23:53Just outside an art store.
00:23:55Must have been trying to get away with a painting when...
00:23:58When they got him.
00:24:00That means they're already in the north end of town.
00:24:03And in the west, near my rooming house.
00:24:05Frank, I'm scared.
00:24:07You're not the only one.
00:24:08Look!
00:24:09Over there on the wall!
00:24:13I'm getting out of here.
00:24:15Don't be a fool.
00:24:16If you run out there, he'll spot us all.
00:24:18What do we do?
00:24:19Back against the wall.
00:24:20Quick!
00:24:25Take it easy, hon.
00:24:26He can't see us from where he is.
00:24:31He doesn't look human.
00:24:33Don't let the shadow fool you.
00:24:35What else could it be?
00:24:36I wish I knew.
00:24:43It's going away.
00:24:45Yeah.
00:24:46For how long?
00:24:47We can't stay here.
00:24:48We'll be killed.
00:24:49Like all the others.
00:24:50Shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you.
00:24:53That hotel over there.
00:24:55Ought to be easy enough to get inside.
00:24:57Yeah.
00:24:58For us or for them?
00:24:59Both.
00:25:00We have to make a break for it.
00:25:01And hope we make it before they spot us.
00:25:03Then let's get started.
00:25:04Anything's better than standing out in the open like this.
00:25:06I'll go ahead.
00:25:07And if the coast is clear, I'll wave.
00:25:09What if it isn't?
00:25:10Then you can be the next guinea pig.
00:25:12Be careful.
00:25:14Don't worry.
00:25:15The street's probably a lot safer now
00:25:17than it is when the traffic is normal.
00:25:42All right, now.
00:25:43Come on.
00:25:55All right, down behind the furniture, quick.
00:25:57And keep out of sight.
00:26:06Do you think they spotted us?
00:26:08We'll know soon enough.
00:26:12Hey, Jim, do you see anything?
00:26:19Not a sign of them.
00:26:20The street's deserted.
00:26:21Aren't you the optimistic soul?
00:26:24Come on.
00:26:30What do we do now?
00:26:32We have to figure a way out of this.
00:26:34It's not gonna be easy.
00:26:35We don't even know what we're up against.
00:26:38Take a look at this.
00:26:42A state of national emergency was declared yesterday
00:26:45when hostile forces of unknown origin
00:26:47landed in open country
00:26:48approximately 50 miles due north of the city
00:26:51at 11 o'clock last night.
00:26:53While little is known
00:26:54as to strength and deployment of the enemy at this time,
00:26:57Bruce K. Peterson,
00:26:58in charge of civil defense for this area,
00:27:00ordered immediate evacuation of the city.
00:27:02I knew it was bad, but this...
00:27:04I don't believe it.
00:27:05Mystery, man.
00:27:06Who are they kidding?
00:27:07It's not a mystery.
00:27:08It's a fact.
00:27:09I don't believe it.
00:27:10Mystery, man.
00:27:11Who are they kidding?
00:27:12Shadow on the wall.
00:27:13He could...
00:27:14I mean, they could be anywhere.
00:27:16Thousands of them.
00:27:17I don't think so.
00:27:18At least not yet.
00:27:19If they operate like we did during the last war,
00:27:21the one who almost spotted us
00:27:22was part of an advance patrol.
00:27:24Then the rest won't be far behind.
00:27:26We're trapped.
00:27:27Right in the middle.
00:27:28They'll kill us all, I tell you.
00:27:29Take it easy.
00:27:30We've got plenty of trouble
00:27:31without you blowing your top.
00:27:33What do you expect me to do?
00:27:34Stand still while you sound off
00:27:35on military tactics?
00:27:37You got any better ideas?
00:27:39You better I have.
00:27:40I'm getting out of here.
00:27:41Now.
00:27:42You're doing nothing of the kind.
00:27:44I'm warning you.
00:27:45Don't you try to stop me.
00:27:47But you can't go.
00:27:48It's suicide.
00:27:49They'll spot you
00:27:50before you've gone 50 feet.
00:27:51I'll take my chances.
00:27:52It'll be a lot easier
00:27:53getting past a few of them
00:27:54than waiting here
00:27:55for the whole army to show up.
00:27:56Wait a minute.
00:28:09No.
00:28:10Don't.
00:28:11Keep.
00:28:12Keep away.
00:28:18He's trying to come back.
00:28:29Get down.
00:28:39Get down.
00:28:52Is there anything we can do?
00:28:54Just pray that he hasn't
00:28:55seen the rest of us.
00:28:57Listen, we'd be better off
00:28:58upstairs.
00:28:59Chances are they won't
00:29:00take time to search
00:29:01all the buildings.
00:29:02Look, get over there
00:29:03by the stairs.
00:29:04I'll grab some keys
00:29:05from the desk.
00:29:06Come on, let's go.
00:29:09This ought to do it.
00:29:10402 to 404.
00:29:11Must be a suite.
00:29:12Go ahead.
00:29:13Here you are, honey.
00:29:15Make yourself at home.
00:29:16Oh, what do you know?
00:29:17We're at the border.
00:29:18It's banking time already.
00:29:19I'll wait for you up here.
00:29:21I'll be back in a minute.
00:29:22Stay safe.
00:29:23Don't let me.
00:29:24Get out of my way.
00:29:25Stay out of my way.
00:29:26Stay out of my way.
00:29:27Get out of my way.
00:29:28Stay out of my way.
00:29:29Just stay in my way.
00:29:30Go.
00:29:31Stay.
00:29:32Stay.
00:29:33Stay.
00:29:34Stay.
00:29:35Stay.
00:29:36Stay.
00:29:37Stay.
00:29:38Stay.
00:29:39Stay.
00:29:40Stay.
00:29:42Well, what do you know? The bridal suite, at last.
00:29:47I'd settle for a tent about a thousand miles from here.
00:29:51I know what you mean.
00:29:53Right now, even my desk at the home office would look good.
00:29:56Let's check the joint just in case.
00:29:58Good idea.
00:30:13Well, we should be reasonably safe up here.
00:30:21Hey, this is swell layout.
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:28Come on.
00:30:30Well.
00:30:35Well, what do you think?
00:30:37I'm afraid we haven't much choice.
00:30:39At least it's comfortable.
00:30:41You know, maybe it isn't as bad as we think.
00:30:43The army must be doing something.
00:30:45Yeah, only in the meantime, we gotta play hide-and-seek
00:30:47with a bunch of zombies from Mars or wherever they come from.
00:30:49He's right, Frank.
00:30:50They're bound to find out where we are sooner or later.
00:30:52Yeah, I know.
00:30:53All about the only thing we can do is wait till it's dark
00:30:55and then try to sneak out of town toward the south.
00:30:58You're not forgetting what happened to Otis, are you?
00:31:02I'm not forgetting a thing.
00:31:09Come on.
00:31:10Come on.
00:31:12Come on.
00:31:40Fine.
00:31:43Now, gentlemen, I don't have to tell you the situation is critical.
00:31:47Since roughly 2300 last night,
00:31:49when their first units landed here in sector B-97,
00:31:53we have been confronted with an enemy the like of which defies description.
00:31:58Who or what they are is an open question.
00:32:03We won't know the answers till we take a few prisoners.
00:32:06So far, we haven't been able to do that.
00:32:09All we can be sure of is this.
00:32:12The invasion was not launched by any power on the surface of this Earth.
00:32:19What about the scientists, General?
00:32:21Haven't they any idea where the enemy could have originated?
00:32:25The consensus of theories points to the planet Venus,
00:32:28assuming, of course, that the invaders are human beings like ourselves.
00:32:33Is there any reason to believe they're not?
00:32:36Frankly, we don't know what to think.
00:32:38But fragmentary reports we've been able to piece together
00:32:40indicate they behave like automatons,
00:32:44apparently completely indifferent to personal danger.
00:32:48So far, they've made no effort to break out of the city,
00:32:50but that's only a matter of time.
00:32:54How many of them?
00:32:56Not more than several hundred at most.
00:32:59They're obviously only an advanced element for the main force.
00:33:03Well, a few hundred men shouldn't be much of a problem.
00:33:06That's what we thought.
00:33:08The first contact was made by the 387th Airborne.
00:33:12At about 2400,
00:33:15they were wiped out to a man.
00:33:22At the present moment, our main line of defense is here,
00:33:25in the semicircle roughly 10 miles south of the city line.
00:33:28The 3rd Armored is holding down the left flank here,
00:33:31and the 7th is on the right.
00:33:33They're both pretty much chewed up by now.
00:33:36General Wood, sir.
00:33:37What is it?
00:33:38Airstrike in progress against the main enemy position.
00:33:40Colonel Meade thought you'd want to follow it by radar.
00:34:37I'm on it.
00:35:01Are they ours?
00:35:02I think so.
00:35:03Then they're going to bomb the city.
00:35:05Just keep your fingers crossed that we're not in the middle of the target.
00:35:36BEEP
00:35:38BEEP
00:35:56Those planes never even knew what hit them.
00:35:58It was horrible.
00:36:00They must have weapons we've never even dreamed of.
00:36:02Well, that figures. They were smart enough to get here in the first place.
00:36:11Who are they, Frank? Where can they come from?
00:36:14Who can tell? My guess would be Venus.
00:36:17What makes you say that?
00:36:19As far as I know, it's the only planet that might be capable of supporting human life.
00:36:23It's covered by a heavy layer of clouds.
00:36:26That means plenty of water, oxygen and hydrogen in its atmosphere.
00:36:29Say, where'd you learn all this?
00:36:31College. Only I didn't get it all from the classrooms.
00:36:35I had a buddy named Richard Banks, a regular science fiction bug.
00:36:38He got me reading the magazines, too.
00:36:40Don't tell me you believe all that stuff.
00:36:42Oh, not all of it, but some of those writers weren't too far off the beam.
00:36:45There's plenty of evidence of that right outside.
00:36:47Yeah, and if the Air Force couldn't get past those guys, it don't look too good.
00:36:51For us.
00:36:53Those planes were shot down a good 15 miles south of here.
00:36:57That would mean the whole city must be surrounded.
00:36:59You mean even if we did get out of here after dark, it wouldn't do any good?
00:37:03I'm afraid we wouldn't get any further than Otis did.
00:37:13Oh, you guys are a big help.
00:37:15If things aren't rough enough, you have to scare her half to death.
00:37:18Well, all I said was...
00:37:19Oh, skip it. Vicki's right.
00:37:21We did act like a couple of chumps.
00:37:30I'm sorry, Nora. I shouldn't have said that.
00:37:33Why not? It's the truth.
00:37:36We might still have a chance to get out of this.
00:37:39After all, we know the Air Force is still fighting.
00:37:41Only we're right in the middle.
00:37:43Funny, isn't it?
00:37:45This time yesterday, I wouldn't have cared if they dropped an H-bomb right on the roof.
00:37:53What are you doing?
00:37:56What do you mean?
00:37:58This afternoon when you found me, I told you I'd slept through the evacuation.
00:38:02Well, didn't that sound a little peculiar to you?
00:38:08Maybe I didn't think it was any of my business then.
00:38:13And now?
00:38:15A lot's happened since then.
00:38:17Now I want to know everything I can about you.
00:38:20Would it make any difference if I told you?
00:38:23Would it make any difference if I told you the reason I slept through everything was because...
00:38:28Because I never intended to wake up at all.
00:38:36I tried to kill myself last night, Frank.
00:38:39Sleeping pills.
00:38:42I know what you're thinking. Otis wanted to live and he died.
00:38:45I wanted to die and...
00:38:47Oh, I guess it doesn't make much sense.
00:38:50Suicide never does.
00:38:52But why should a girl like you...
00:38:54What do you know about me?
00:38:56I could be anything. A thief, a murderess.
00:38:59Even worse.
00:39:00No, I don't think so.
00:39:02Whatever you did, there must have been a very good reason.
00:39:05You don't need a reason to die, Frank.
00:39:08Just one to live.
00:39:10Somehow I thought that I didn't have one anymore.
00:39:15You still feel that way?
00:39:18I don't know why, but everything's changed.
00:39:21Everything's changed.
00:39:23Now that it's too late to do anything about it.
00:39:32Right.
00:39:33What have you got?
00:39:34A report from 337th Fighter Bomber Command.
00:39:37Any of them get through?
00:39:40Not a one, sir.
00:39:44If those jets can't get through, nothing can.
00:39:47What about the atomic artillery?
00:39:49We got the new models that were flown in an hour ago.
00:39:52They won't be assembled for several hours.
00:39:54Are they sending us the new guided missiles?
00:39:57Yes, we received those along with the atomic artillery.
00:40:00I never thought the day would come when we turn them against one of our own cities.
00:40:05There won't be a building left standing.
00:40:07I know, I know.
00:40:09Can't be helped.
00:40:13Urgent dispatch, sir, from Colonel Powers, 7th Armored Division.
00:40:20We've captured one.
00:40:22How'd they do it?
00:40:23A tank crew picked him up by the side of the road in sector B-107.
00:40:27It says it was completely inactive, lying there.
00:40:31Where is he now?
00:40:32They're bringing him into the lab, sir.
00:40:34The lab? Why not to interrogation?
00:40:37We'll find out when we get over there. Come on.
00:40:46That's the third pair in the last ten minutes.
00:40:48I wonder where they're going.
00:40:50I don't know, but I got a good suggestion for them.
00:40:53Vicki, how can you joke at a time like this?
00:40:56Don't kid yourself, honey.
00:40:58The only reason I opened my trap is to keep my teeth from chattering.
00:41:01Those things out there are bad enough in broad daylight.
00:41:04It's going to be dark pretty soon.
00:41:06You know, I was just thinking, as long as we have to stay here,
00:41:09we might as well do it the right way.
00:41:11There must be a flashlight or some candles around somewhere.
00:41:13Why don't I go and look for them?
00:41:15You mean go downstairs alone?
00:41:16With all those creeps around, not on your life.
00:41:18Well, we have to have some light, and who knows?
00:41:20I might be able to find some food.
00:41:22All right, but I'm going with you.
00:41:24One of us ought to stay here with the girls.
00:41:26All right, you stay.
00:41:27Oh, we're so gallant all of a sudden.
00:41:29Yesterday, you wouldn't even stand up to give me a seat on the bus.
00:41:32Yeah, and today, the buses aren't running anymore.
00:41:35Jim is right, Frank. You should both go.
00:41:37It's the only fair thing to do.
00:41:39What about you and Vicki?
00:41:40Don't worry about us.
00:41:42We'll lock ourselves in till you get back.
00:41:44Come on, get started while there's still some light.
00:41:46Come on.
00:42:05Where is he?
00:42:06Right here, sir.
00:42:07Hi, Tom.
00:42:08Hello, General.
00:42:12A robot.
00:42:14Yes, sir. We think they all are.
00:42:17That's fantastic.
00:42:19No wonder we haven't been able to stop them anywhere.
00:42:21Well, at least now we know what we're up against.
00:42:25We only had a little time to work out a defense.
00:42:27Well, we've already started electronic research.
00:42:29The objective being to find out what caused this break.
00:42:34We might have a few hours if we're lucky,
00:42:36and they hold off reinforcing their advance elements.
00:42:39Has the general staff been notified?
00:42:41Yes, sir. Major Reynolds sent an urgent message.
00:42:43Good.
00:42:44They'll probably want to fly in a team from G2.
00:42:48Order the landing strip and able sector held at all costs.
00:42:50Yes, sir.
00:42:56That'll take almost four hours.
00:42:59I doubt that we'll have the time.
00:43:02I understand, General.
00:43:03We'll do everything we can, just in case.
00:43:44No!
00:43:53Better keep away from the window, Nora.
00:43:55No use taking any more chances than we have to.
00:43:58I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking.
00:44:00We shouldn't have let them go, Vicky.
00:44:02If something's gone wrong, I know it.
00:44:05Hey.
00:44:06Hey, take it easy, kid.
00:44:08They've been gone almost 20 minutes.
00:44:10If anything's happened to Frank,
00:44:12I'll never forgive myself.
00:44:14I thought you just met him today.
00:44:16What's that got to do with it?
00:44:18Nothing.
00:44:19Not a thing.
00:44:21It's just that way with me and Jim.
00:44:23Only neither one of us are smart enough to do anything about it.
00:44:28Hey, open up. It's us.
00:44:34I thought you'd never get back.
00:44:36Hey, you hit the jackpot.
00:44:37You ain't seen nothing yet.
00:44:38Better wait till I make sure the drapes are drawn tightly.
00:44:41Okay.
00:44:51There you are. All the comforts of home.
00:44:53Sure, if you like haunted houses.
00:44:55Don't you two ever do anything besides insult each other?
00:44:58We have our moments.
00:44:59Yeah, but this isn't one of them.
00:45:01Oh, funny.
00:45:02How long do you think we'll have to stay here?
00:45:05I'm afraid that's up to the army.
00:45:07Yeah, but whose?
00:45:09Ours or theirs?
00:45:26You have to do that.
00:45:27You'd think you were in a cage or something the way you keep pacing around.
00:45:30What do you want me to do?
00:45:32Take a nice long walk out in the street?
00:45:34Few more hours in this flea trap and we'll all be stir crazy.
00:45:37Well, at least we're still alive.
00:45:38Now sit down and keep your mouth shut.
00:45:40Who do you think you are ordering me around like a train monkey?
00:45:43You'd think we were married or something.
00:45:45Well, if we're not, it ain't because you haven't been trying for the last ten years.
00:45:48Go ahead, rub it in.
00:45:50I ought to have my head examined for putting up with you at all.
00:45:53We wouldn't be here now if you'd listened to me last night.
00:45:56Sure, the whole thing's my fault.
00:45:57I even planned the invasion.
00:45:59We still could have been evacuated with the others, but no.
00:46:02No, you had to drink your way through half the bars in town.
00:46:05All right, so I did a little celebrating.
00:46:07How often does a guy hit the daily double at 60 to 1?
00:46:10Once in ten years, if you're any example.
00:46:13Let's live, baby.
00:46:15I hit the GGs for 240 clams.
00:46:17Ha!
00:46:18A lot of good the money is now.
00:46:20You didn't have to come along.
00:46:21You ain't the only blonde around.
00:46:29Crazy dame.
00:46:35Oh, Jim.
00:46:38Why do we have to fight like this all the time?
00:46:41I don't know, baby.
00:46:43I'll tell you one thing.
00:46:45If we ever get out of this thing alive,
00:46:47we'll do all that fighting from the same corner from now on.
00:46:51Firework's over?
00:46:53For a few rounds anyway.
00:46:56You know what's funny about those two?
00:46:58They were just trying to play nice.
00:47:01When I came here, I never saw the end of them.
00:47:04I don't know what you know about them, but I got to tell you,
00:47:08I never saw them play nice.
00:47:11Never, ever, ever, ever.
00:47:14Let's get out of here.
00:47:16Don't you worry about them, baby.
00:47:18You know what's funny about those two?
00:47:20Gee, they needle each other every minute.
00:47:22Yet when the chips are down...
00:47:24I know.
00:47:25Jerry and I were a lot like that.
00:47:28Jerry?
00:47:30My husband.
00:47:38Thanks.
00:47:42What happened to your husband?
00:47:45He was killed.
00:47:48In an automobile accident six months ago.
00:47:51Oh, we were arguing just like Jim and Vicky.
00:47:54I was driving, never even saw the car that hit us.
00:47:57When I regained consciousness in the hospital, they...
00:48:01They told me Jerry was dead.
00:48:06You've been blaming yourself ever since.
00:48:10Is that why you took those sleeping pills?
00:48:13Oh, yes.
00:48:16I know how you must feel, Nora,
00:48:18but you can't keep on letting it get you like it did last night.
00:48:21I'm sorry.
00:48:24It's just that I've never been able to talk about it.
00:48:27How?
00:48:30Look, we've been on the go for nearly 14 hours.
00:48:33What you need is a little sleep.
00:48:36With one of those things or whatever they are,
00:48:38I would have burst in here any minute.
00:48:40You haven't tried anything yet.
00:48:42I think we're safe enough until morning.
00:48:44And after that?
00:48:47Look, you share the bedroom with Vicky.
00:48:49Jim and I will be in the other room,
00:48:51just in case anything happens.
00:49:15Well, that'll do it for the time being.
00:49:18All right, cut in your generator.
00:49:45So that's what makes them tick.
00:49:47Electronics.
00:49:49Let's call it a system of electromagnetic impulses.
00:49:53By exerting positive or negative charges,
00:49:56as the case may be,
00:49:58they've been able to duplicate every desired motion of the human body.
00:50:02What's it made of?
00:50:04Surgical steel, according to all the usual tests.
00:50:07But how they make it pliable in the joints is something else.
00:50:10An army of machines,
00:50:12incapable of pain, fear or compassion,
00:50:15and practically indestructible.
00:50:17There's got to be a human element somewhere.
00:50:19No machine can think for itself.
00:50:21We're coming to that.
00:50:22Barton, would you set up the helmet for another test, please?
00:50:27Now, as far as we've been able to determine,
00:50:30these robots operate on a radar principle,
00:50:33utilizing the super high frequencies.
00:50:35Like our homing-type guided missiles.
00:50:37Precisely.
00:50:38First, an image is picked up on the cathode ray tube,
00:50:41which is mounted in the face of the helmet.
00:50:44From there, it's transmitted to some control point
00:50:46or monitor station by this.
00:50:50I've never seen anything like it.
00:50:52Are you sure this is a transmitter?
00:50:54It has to be from the position it occupied in the helmet
00:50:56in relation to the cathode tube.
00:50:58Actually, it operates on a completely different principle
00:51:00from anything we've ever developed.
00:51:02What's its frequency range?
00:51:04So far, we haven't been able to figure it out.
00:51:06What about the antenna?
00:51:07The length of that ought to give you a lead.
00:51:09There is no antenna.
00:51:11They must utilize a portion of the surface of the shell,
00:51:15or perhaps the entire robot.
00:51:17Then there's no way we can jam it
00:51:18and put their whole army out of commission.
00:51:20I'm afraid not.
00:51:21What about the control point?
00:51:23They have to correlate their information somewhere
00:51:25and send back the impulses to guide the machine.
00:51:27That all depends on the strength of the transmitter.
00:51:30Could be only a few miles.
00:51:32On the other hand,
00:51:33it might reach all the way back to their home base.
00:51:37Wherever that may be.
00:51:39There's got to be a weak point somewhere.
00:51:43What about the cathode ray tube?
00:51:44It was damaged, wasn't it?
00:51:45That's right.
00:51:46It was the only visible damage.
00:51:48And we figure that it put the entire mechanism
00:51:50out of commission.
00:51:51Well, if that's the case,
00:51:52you mean all we have to do is knock out the cathode ray tube.
00:51:55Except for two things.
00:51:57In the first place,
00:51:58nobody's ever been able to get that close to one
00:52:01without being annihilated.
00:52:03And the second?
00:52:04I'll show you.
00:52:08Everything's set, Tom.
00:52:10Thank you, bud.
00:52:11As you can see,
00:52:12this is a standard M1 semi-automatic rifle.
00:52:15It's aimed squarely at the center
00:52:17of the undamaged portion of the tube.
00:52:19Now, if you gentlemen will just stand back.
00:52:25Bang!
00:52:38Didn't even ricochet.
00:52:40Just flattened down like a water-chewing gun.
00:52:43That's right.
00:52:45I don't know how that tube was cracked originally,
00:52:48but we'll never do it with a bullet,
00:52:50even at point-blank range.
00:53:07Bang!
00:53:37Bang!
00:54:08Ah!
00:54:10What's the matter with you? Get out of the room, quick.
00:54:14Frank, help me!
00:54:17He's caught by the finger.
00:54:18Jim, give me a hand.
00:54:22Stand back.
00:54:23Ah!
00:54:27Keep away!
00:54:31Hold it, sister, before you get hurt.
00:54:34All right, now back out in the center of the room.
00:54:36Let's go.
00:54:37That goes for you, too, Junior.
00:54:39Start moving.
00:54:41Do as he says, Jim.
00:54:43Please.
00:54:44Not so fast.
00:54:45Who are you, and what do you want?
00:54:47You heard what the lady said.
00:54:49Start moving.
00:55:04That's better.
00:55:06Is there any light in here?
00:55:08There's a candle on the table right behind you.
00:55:34Anna.
00:55:40Now, suppose we all keep calm and have a little talk.
00:55:43Nice and friendly-like.
00:55:45Oh, sure.
00:55:47All my friends carry guns.
00:55:49Why didn't you take a shot at us through the door?
00:55:51What did you expect me to do?
00:55:52Stand still while you chomped my hand off?
00:55:54We thought you were one of the invaders.
00:55:56Huh?
00:55:57We thought you were one of the invaders.
00:55:59We thought you were one of the invaders.
00:56:01You know something?
00:56:03I thought the same thing about you.
00:56:05All right, so we all made a mistake.
00:56:07You gonna hold that gun on us all night?
00:56:09I don't know yet.
00:56:12It all depends on you.
00:56:31What happened?
00:56:51Well, looks like a whole chain of resistors went out.
00:56:54We'll have to start again from scratch.
00:56:57How long will it take?
00:56:59About an hour.
00:57:01Unless his playmates beat us to the punch.
00:57:30Look, do you have to do that?
00:57:33What are you talking about?
00:57:35In the last half hour, you've done everything but kiss that gun.
00:57:39Gives me the creeps.
00:57:41Oh, no, I'm real sorry.
00:57:43I didn't know you were the sensitive type.
00:57:46She's not, but I am.
00:57:50Now put that away before somebody gets hurt.
00:57:54I wouldn't try anything if I were you.
00:57:57Wouldn't be smart.
00:57:58Forget it, Tim.
00:58:00I guess I'm jumpy on our thought.
00:58:02We all are, since he showed up.
00:58:05Look, if you don't like this setup, why don't you leave?
00:58:10Wouldn't have a chance by myself.
00:58:12And neither would you without this gun.
00:58:16No matter how you figure it, we're just stuck with each other.
00:58:21Nora, come on, let's try to get some sleep.
00:58:26All right.
00:58:57Hey, what time is it?
00:59:016.15.
00:59:03The sun's coming up.
00:59:06What happens now?
00:59:08We can't leave until we're sure they're gone.
00:59:10Let's pray they don't search the building.
00:59:13You know, I don't know which is worse,
00:59:15taking a chance outside or being cooped up here with that trigger-happy screwball.
00:59:19You mean Davis?
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:21Every time he looks at me, I...
00:59:22Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:59:25You know, this may sound crazy,
00:59:26but I swear I've seen that guy somewhere before.
00:59:29It's possible.
00:59:30He could have lived or worked in your own neighborhood.
00:59:33You could have passed him on the street a dozen times.
00:59:35Now, that is what I meant.
00:59:37Here's another thing.
00:59:39Why wasn't he evacuated like everybody else in town?
00:59:42You forget they overlooked us, too.
00:59:44We've only got ourselves to blame.
00:59:46Maybe.
00:59:48Only what about that gun?
00:59:50Huh?
00:59:51I'm not sure, but it looks just like a police revolver.
00:59:54Now you are imagining things.
00:59:56And if it were true, how would you know?
00:59:58Are you kidding?
00:59:59There isn't a flat foot I'd...
01:00:02Oh, skip it.
01:00:03I must be off my rocker.
01:00:05Boy, what I need is a drink.
01:00:08There's some beer in the kitchen.
01:00:10It's probably awfully warm by now.
01:00:12Honey, I don't care if it's on fire.
01:00:14I'll get it.
01:00:15I want to see if Frank's awake anyway.
01:00:17Suit yourself.
01:00:19I always did like breakfast in bed.
01:00:21I won't be a minute.
01:00:23Mm-hmm.
01:00:49I'll be right back.
01:01:19I'll be right back.
01:01:20Sorry if I scared you.
01:01:50What do you want?
01:01:51Well, let's say you've been waiting for a chance to talk to you.
01:01:54How long?
01:01:55Not now.
01:01:57Please, I'm tired.
01:01:59Later on.
01:02:00Not very friendly, are you?
01:02:02It's my privilege.
01:02:04Well, maybe you'd like to change your mind.
01:02:10I'll remember that.
01:02:11So will I.
01:02:12Now let me pass.
01:02:13You should head, Nora.
01:02:15We're in a tight spot.
01:02:16I can get us out of here alive.
01:02:18How?
01:02:19Now look.
01:02:20There's a main sewer line on 7th Street.
01:02:22Only a block from here.
01:02:24Once we reach it, we could double back behind their lines.
01:02:26We'd be safe.
01:02:27How come you haven't told the others?
01:02:29Why should I?
01:02:30We couldn't all make it without being spotted.
01:02:33We could try.
01:02:34Uh-huh.
01:02:35No, I've got other plans for them.
01:02:38Yes, I think we use them as decoys.
01:02:41While they're being run down, we make a break in the opposite direction.
01:02:45Just you and me.
01:02:48You mean you'd kill all the others just to save your own life?
01:02:52Yours too.
01:02:53Don't forget that.
01:02:54You must be insane.
01:02:55If you think I do...
01:02:58You shouldn't have said that, Nora.
01:03:00I don't like people who think I'm crazy.
01:03:03Let me go.
01:03:04Help me.
01:03:05Call your boyfriend.
01:03:06Call them all.
01:03:07You had your chance.
01:03:08All right, take your hands off her.
01:03:10All right.
01:03:13All right.
01:03:14Now back out in the center of the living room.
01:03:15All of you.
01:03:16Let's go.
01:03:29Figure it at 14 millimeters.
01:03:32I got it.
01:03:33Where will we start the machine?
01:03:35We'd better start it at 30,000.
01:03:37We'll bring it up to control intervals from there.
01:03:39Right.
01:03:41How long will it take?
01:03:42For just a few minutes.
01:03:43We're making some last-minute changes now.
01:03:44Can we still figure the answers in the cathode ray tube?
01:03:46It's got to be.
01:03:47Of course, we're hampered by the fact that the surface is an integral part of the helmet itself.
01:03:51We couldn't dare risk taking it out.
01:03:52This is our last chance, Tom.
01:03:54The atomic artillery and guided missiles are all assembled and in position.
01:03:57If we don't come up with anything in the next five minutes,
01:04:00I've got orders to start shelling the city.
01:04:03All right, sir.
01:04:04Good.
01:04:05Now, if you gentlemen will just stand over there.
01:04:12All right.
01:04:42All right.
01:05:13Okay.
01:05:15This is far enough for now.
01:05:17What are you trying to prove, Davis?
01:05:19You'll find out when I'm good and ready to tell you.
01:05:23Go on up front and see if you can spot any of our playmates on the street.
01:05:27If you're so interested, go see for yourself.
01:05:30I'm not going to.
01:05:31I'm not going to.
01:05:32I'm not going to.
01:05:33I'm not going to.
01:05:34I'm not going to.
01:05:35I'm not going to.
01:05:36I'm not going to.
01:05:37I'm not going to.
01:05:38I'm not going to.
01:05:39I'm not going to.
01:05:40I'm not going to.
01:05:41You should go see for yourself.
01:05:43I said get moving before this gun happens to go off in somebody's belly.
01:05:50Stay where you are, Vicki.
01:05:52He hasn't enough nerve to shoot.
01:05:54Oh, I wouldn't count on it if I were you.
01:05:57You win.
01:06:12See anything?
01:06:14Sure.
01:06:16There's one out there on the front lawn.
01:06:19Having a picnic.
01:06:21How far away is it?
01:06:23About 50 yards on the other side of the street.
01:06:26Moving away from us.
01:06:27Good.
01:06:28We'll give it a couple of minutes.
01:06:30You talk as though you expect to go out there.
01:06:32I'm not.
01:06:34But you are.
01:06:35Oh.
01:06:36And what makes you so sure of that?
01:06:38Because I've got the gun.
01:06:40So that's it.
01:06:41We're the pigeons so you can take off while that thing out there chases us.
01:06:45Well, now you catch on real quick.
01:06:47But that would be murder.
01:06:49Maybe.
01:06:50Only this time nobody can do a thing about it.
01:06:53This time.
01:06:55Sure.
01:06:56I knew he looked familiar.
01:06:58He's the guy that killed that dame down on Skid Row about a month ago.
01:07:01It was in all the papers.
01:07:02That's right.
01:07:03Big headlines.
01:07:04Lots of pictures.
01:07:05Just like there'll be when I find out I killed the guard and got away during the evacuation.
01:07:09So that's why you stayed behind.
01:07:11You didn't dare leave the city.
01:07:13They'll be watching every road out of town.
01:07:15Sure.
01:07:16Every road except the ones behind the enemy lines.
01:07:20Now all I need is a five-minute start.
01:07:23And you're going to give it to me.
01:07:25Now get moving.
01:07:26All of you.
01:07:27But you can't do this.
01:07:29Well, what'll it be, guys?
01:07:31Take a chance on the street or get it here?
01:07:34It won't work, Buster.
01:07:36If we're going to die anyway, one of us will get you first.
01:07:47I'm warning you.
01:07:49Keep back.
01:07:53You won't shoot.
01:08:07Frank, your shoulder.
01:08:09No, it's not that.
01:08:37Hey!
01:08:53Sorry, Jim.
01:09:03Crazy dame.
01:09:07Back to the stairs, quick!
01:09:09The gun! Where's the gun?
01:09:20Jim, aim for his face!
01:09:36Upstairs. It's our only chance.
01:10:06Whoa!
01:10:36Go on. I'll try to hold this door.
01:10:38See if you can find a way to another roof.
01:11:07There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:11:09Over there, quick!
01:11:10Frank!
01:11:36Frank!
01:12:06Frank!
01:12:37You folks okay?
01:12:39We are now.
01:12:40But if you'd got here 30 seconds later, it would've been a different story.
01:12:43What are you doing in the city, anyway?
01:12:45Don't you know it's a combat zone?
01:12:47You should've been evacuated like everybody else.
01:12:49I guess we were overlooked.
01:12:50By the time we guessed what was happening, it was too late to leave.
01:12:53Those men were everywhere.
01:12:55Not men, lady.
01:12:56They were robots.
01:12:57A whole army of them.
01:12:59I don't know what they're up to.
01:13:01I don't know what they're up to.
01:13:03Not men, lady.
01:13:04They were robots.
01:13:05A whole army of them.
01:13:06No wonder the bullets wouldn't stop them.
01:13:08Nothing will.
01:13:09Except this.
01:13:11I don't understand. What is it?
01:13:13An oscillator.
01:13:14You heard the noise it puts out.
01:13:16We discovered the robots couldn't take the vibrations of the sound waves.
01:13:19It smashes the glass in their cathode ray tube.
01:13:22You mean the vibrations smash the tubes?
01:13:24That's right. Puts them out of commission and nothing flat.
01:13:27You mean the city and the whole world is safe again?
01:13:30Maybe.
