00:05:25Where is everybody?
00:05:26Where is everybody?
00:05:32Where is everybody?
00:05:33Where is everybody?
00:05:45I'm sorry?
00:05:52I'm sorry?
00:05:55I don't know.
00:06:25I don't know.
00:06:55I don't know.
00:07:25I don't know.
00:07:55I don't know.
00:08:25I don't know.
00:08:33Please, somebody answer.
00:08:34I don't know.
00:08:36I don't know.
00:08:40I don't know.
00:08:50I don't know.
00:08:58I don't know.
00:09:06I don't know.
00:09:16I don't know.
00:09:18Hey, wait a minute.
00:09:20I don't know.
00:09:28I don't know.
00:09:36I don't know.
00:09:38I don't know.
00:09:48I don't know.
00:09:50I don't know.
00:09:51Keep away from me.
00:09:52Don't come any closer.
00:09:54Take it easy.
00:09:56I'm not going to hurt you.
00:09:58I don't know.
00:09:59I don't know.
00:10:00I don't know.
00:10:04I don't know.
00:10:06Let me go.
00:10:07Let me go.
00:10:08Please.
00:10:09Relax.
00:10:10I am not going to hurt you.
00:10:12Then why did you chase me?
00:10:14Why did you run?
00:10:16I was afraid.
00:10:18That girl on the street, I thought...
00:10:20That I killed her?
00:10:22Look, it will make you feel any better.
00:10:25Think this over.
00:10:26If I had killed her, I'd be miles away from here by now, wouldn't I?
00:10:28I suppose you're right.
00:10:33It's just that the whole city is so quiet and empty.
00:10:38What could have happened?
00:10:41I wish I knew.
00:10:43Everything since dinner last night is a complete blank to me.
00:10:48I don't understand.
00:10:50I only got here from Detroit yesterday afternoon.
00:10:53Just killing time between trains.
00:10:56I should have known better than to flash a big roll in a bar.
00:11:00You mean you were robbed?
00:11:02Yeah.
00:11:03And slugged and dumped in an alley.
00:11:06Then you were unconscious through most of the night.
00:11:09Oh, I came to about noon.
00:11:11The only thing I had left was a headache.
00:11:15I guess I owe you an apology.
00:11:19Well, that makes us even.
00:11:22You know the way back to the center of town?
00:11:25Yes.
00:11:26Well, we better get moving.
00:11:31Have a lot better chance of finding out what's happened when we get there.
00:11:38Not that it's so important at a time like this, but my name is Frank Brooks.
00:11:42I'm Nora King.
00:11:44Hi.
00:11:45Hello.
00:11:46How come you're still in town?
00:11:48I was asleep in my room and the door was locked.
00:11:52Well, then you haven't any idea what happened last night.
00:11:54No.
00:11:55Have you?
00:11:56Well, there's been an evacuation of some kind, but the question is why?
00:12:00DH bomb.
00:12:01Maybe there's gonna be an attack.
00:12:03Oh, it's possible, but I don't think so.
00:12:05The enemy wouldn't give us advance notice of a thing like that.
00:12:08What about our radar system?
00:12:10Oh, four or five hours warning at best.
00:12:13It's taken at least twice that long to evacuate the city.
00:12:16Well, then how about German warfare?
00:12:18There's been a lot of talk about that.
00:12:20The water isn't running.
00:12:21As far as that goes, none of the utilities are working.
00:12:23Well, in that case, there'd still be patrols around town.
00:12:26The army, the police, civilian defense.
00:12:29Well, for some reason they had to get everybody out of town.
00:12:32But there were half a million people here yesterday.
00:12:34Now, for all we know, there are just the two of us left.
00:12:37It doesn't make sense.
00:12:39It has to.
00:12:40It happened.
00:12:41In about 12 hours, too.
00:12:44I wonder if there's anyone else left in town.
00:12:47There's probably a few.
00:12:49You ever try to empty a sack of sugar?
00:12:51Hmm?
00:12:52What's that got to do with it?
00:12:53Some of the grains always stick to the sack, like the two of us.
00:12:57Something tells me we'd better get out of here fast.
00:13:00How would you like to go?
00:13:01Bus or taxi?
00:13:03I'm serious, Nora.
00:13:04The only reason they'd clear out an entire city like this would be to get away from certain death.
00:13:08That would mean anyone still here is, well, a dead pigeon.
00:13:13It's funny.
00:13:14I was so anxious trying to find somebody, anybody, that I never thought of that.
00:13:17I did.
00:13:20You don't seem to be worried at all.
00:13:22Maybe not.
00:13:23Not of dying, anyway.
00:13:24Dying is such a normal thing, but nobody around...
00:13:28We'd better start walking toward the center of town.
00:13:30We only knew how much time we have.
00:13:33We only knew how much time we have.
00:14:05It's no use. You won't find anyone in there, either.
00:14:20I know, but I just had an idea.
00:14:22If we could get our hands on a portable battery radio, we might be able...
00:14:26Here, let me take you back from it.
00:14:29What are you going to do?
00:14:31Hold this.
00:14:31Stand back so you don't get cut by flying glass.
00:14:44So far, so good.
00:14:46You know, they shoot people for looting at times like this.
00:14:49I don't care. Just so we find a radio that works.
00:14:51I don't see any.
00:14:54You check that display case. I'll see if there's anything back here.
00:14:57Frank, look.
00:14:58I'm afraid you're wasting your time.
00:15:00The phones are out, too. I checked a couple of them earlier.
00:15:09Any luck?
00:15:10I'm afraid not.
00:15:11Looks like you're not doing too well, either.
00:15:15Oh, we're not licked yet.
00:15:17Let's try the back room.
00:15:20Well, this is more like it.
00:15:22There must be at least one set in all this junk.
00:15:25Well, ordinarily, I suppose there would be,
00:15:27but portables would be at a premium at a time like this.
00:15:29The Army probably ordered everyone who could to carry one.
00:15:32Nora, I found one.
00:15:40Turn it on quick.
00:15:45Oh, no battery.
00:15:47We'll probably ship them separately.
00:15:49There must be one somewhere.
00:15:52No, it's no use, Nora. I've already checked that shelf.
00:15:55There isn't a battery in the place.
00:15:57We're right back where we started.
00:15:59Well, at least we're still alive.
00:16:00But for how long?
00:16:02It's getting worse every minute, isn't it?
00:16:04Look, we'd better get out of here.
00:16:05We can't afford to waste any more time.
00:16:17What's that?
00:16:18Be quiet and listen.
00:16:21Sounds like a piano.
00:16:24It's coming from up the street.
00:16:26Well, let's take a look.
00:16:32The whole town's deserted.
00:16:37We might be blown up any minute,
00:16:38and somebody's in there playing the piano
00:16:40as if they didn't even care.
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:43Wait here while I check.
00:16:44You mean alone?
00:16:48All right.

00:22:29under the hood looks like somebody beat us to it let's hope i'm a better mechanic than he was
00:22:46what's wrong
00:22:50distributor cap is off and the arm is missing what does that mean in english it means you can't get the
00:22:55engine started who are you otis is the name charles otis i hope i didn't frighten you oh no i always
00:23:07shake like this what are you doing here trying to get out of town like yourselves only won't do any
00:23:13good to look for a car in running condition what makes you sure of that i tried a half a dozen in the
00:23:17last three or four miles the distributor arms are missing and all of them who are you trying to kid
00:23:23not so fast jim it seems to me they did something like this in england during the war when they
00:23:27thought they'd be invaded did what ordered the distributor caps removed whenever a car was left
00:23:32unattended but that still doesn't explain why he was killed well here's one gal that's not going to
00:23:36hang around wondering even if i have to walk clear out of this state which way did you come from the north
00:23:42uptown you'd never believe it the whole town's a wreck windows smashed houses and stores wrecked
00:23:49there must have been a lot of looting before everyone cleared out that figures did you see
00:23:54any people about a dozen like that they all seem to be killed the same way there was one guy
00:24:03just outside an art store must have been trying to get away with the painting when
00:24:07when they got him that means they're already in the north end of town and in the west near my rooming
00:24:14house frank i'm scared you're not the only one look over there on the wall
00:24:25i'm getting out of here don't be a fool if you run out there he'll spot us off
00:24:28what do we do back against the wall quick
00:24:31take it easy hon he can't see us from where he is
00:24:42it doesn't look human don't let the shadow fool you what else could it be i wish i knew
00:24:48it's going away yeah after how long we can't stay here we'll be killed like all the others shut
00:25:00your mouth or i'll shut it for you hotel over there ought to be easy enough to get inside yeah for us
00:25:08or for them both we have to make a break for it and hope we make it before they spot us then let's
00:25:13get started anything's better than standing out in the open like this i'll go ahead and if the coast
00:25:18is clear i'll wave what if it isn't then you can be the next guinea pig be careful don't worry
00:25:27the street's probably a lot safer now than it is when the traffic is normal
00:25:43all right now all right down behind the furniture quick and keep out of sight
00:26:13do you think they spotted us we'll know soon enough hey jim do you see anything
00:26:29not a sign of them the street's deserted aren't you the optimistic soul come on
00:26:34what do we do now well we have to figure a way out of this it's not going to be easy
00:26:45we don't even know what we're up against take a look at this
00:26:58a state of national emergency was declared yesterday when hostile forces of unknown origin
00:27:03landed in open country approximately 50 miles due north of the city at 11 o'clock last night
00:27:08while little is known as to strengthen deployment of the enemy at this time bruce k peterson in charge
00:27:12of civil defense for this area ordered immediate evacuation of the city i knew it was bad but this
00:27:19i don't believe it mystery man who are they kidding shadow on the wall he could i mean they could be
00:27:25anywhere thousands of them i don't think so at least not yet if they operate like we did during the
00:27:30last war the one who almost spotted us was part of an advanced patrol then the rest won't be far
00:27:35behind we're trapped right in the middle they'll kill us all i tell you take it easy we've got plenty
00:27:41of trouble without you blowing your top what do you expect me to do stand still while you sound off on
00:27:45military tactics you got any better ideas you bet i have i'm getting out of here now you're doing
00:27:52nothing of the kind i'm warning you don't you try to stop me but you can't go it's suicide they'll
00:27:59spot you before you've gone 50 feet i'll take my chances it'll be a lot easier getting past a few
00:28:03of them than waiting here for the whole army to show up wait a minute
00:28:11no don't keep keep away
00:28:34he's trying to come back
00:28:41is there anything we can do just pray that he hasn't seen the rest of us
00:29:07listen we'd be better off upstairs chances are they won't take time to search all the buildings
00:29:11look get over there by the stairs i'll grab some keys from the desk come on let's go
00:29:24this ought to do it 402 to 404 must be a sweep go ahead
00:29:36here you are honey make yourself home oh what do you know the bridal suite at last
00:29:55i settle for a tent about a thousand miles from here i know what you mean
00:30:03right now even my desk at the home office would look good let's check the joint just in case good idea
00:30:08well we should be reasonably safe up here
00:30:29hey this is a swell layout yeah
00:30:41come on
00:30:41well
00:30:42well what do you think i'm afraid we haven't much choice at least it's comfortable
00:30:53you know maybe it isn't as bad as we think the army must be doing something
00:30:56yeah only in the meantime we got to play hide and seek with a bunch of zombies from mars or wherever
00:31:00they come from he's right frank they're bound to find out where we are sooner or later
00:31:04yeah i know about the only thing we can do is wait till it's dark and then try to sneak out of
00:31:08town toward the south you're not forgetting what happened to otis i'm not forgetting a thing
00:31:26i don't have to tell you the situation is critical
00:31:56since roughly 2300 last night when their first units landed here in sector b 97
00:32:02we have been confronted with an enemy the like of which defies description
00:32:07who or what they are is is an open question
00:32:13we won't know the answers till we take a few prisoners so far we haven't been able to do that
00:32:18all we can be sure of is this the invasion was not launched by any power on the surface of this earth
00:32:26we don't know what about the scientists general haven't they any idea where the enemy could have
00:32:32originated the consensus of theories points to the planet venus assuming of course that the invaders
00:32:39are human beings like ourselves is there any reason to believe they're not frankly we don't know what to
00:32:46think what fragmentary reports we've been able to piece together indicate they behave like automatons
00:32:54apparently completely indifferent to personal danger so far they've made no effort to break out of the
00:32:59city but that's only a matter of time how many of them not more than several hundred at most
00:33:09they're obviously only an advanced element for the main force well a few hundred men shouldn't be much of
00:33:14a problem that's what we thought the first contact was made by the 387th airborne and about 2400
00:33:25they were wiped out to a man
00:33:32at the present moment our main line of defense is here in the semicircle roughly 10 miles south of the
00:33:37city line the third armored is holding down the left flank here and the seventh is on the right
00:33:43they're both pretty much chewed up by now general wood sir what is it airstrike in progress against
00:33:49the main enemy position colonel me thought you'd want to follow it by radar
00:34:12so
00:34:21so
00:34:25Oh, my God.
00:34:55Are the hours?
00:35:12I think so.
00:35:13Then they're going to bomb the city.
00:35:14Just keep your fingers crossed that we're not in the middle of the target.
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:55I never even knew what hit them.
00:36:08It was horrible.
00:36:09They must have weapons we've never even dreamed of.
00:36:12Now, that figures.
00:36:13They were smart enough to get here in the first place.
00:36:15Who are they, Frank?
00:36:22Where can they come from?
00:36:24Who can tell?
00:36:26My guess would be Venus.
00:36:27What makes you say that?
00:36:29As far as I know, it's the only planet that might be capable of supporting human life.
00:36:33It's covered by a heavy layer of clouds.
00:36:36That means plenty of water, oxygen, and hydrogen in its atmosphere.
00:36:39Say, where'd you learn all this?
00:36:41College.
00:36:43Only I didn't get it all from the classrooms.
00:36:45I had a buddy named Richard Banks, a regular science fiction bug.
00:36:48He got me reading the magazines, too.
00:36:50Don't tell me you believe all that stuff.
00:36:52Oh, not all of it, but some of those riders weren't too far off the beam.
00:36:55There's plenty of evidence of that right outside.
00:36:57Yeah, and if the Air Force couldn't get past those guys, it don't look too good.
00:37:02For us.
00:37:03Those planes were shot down a good 15 miles south of here.
00:37:07That would mean the whole city must be surrounded.
00:37:09You mean even if we did get out of here after dark, it wouldn't do any good?
00:37:13I'm afraid we wouldn't get any further than Otis did.
00:37:23Oh, you guys are a big help.
00:37:25If things aren't rough enough, you have to scare her half to death.
00:37:28Well, all I said was...
00:37:29Oh, skip it.
00:37:29Vicki's right.
00:37:30We did act like a couple of chumps.
00:37:46I'm sorry, Nora.
00:37:47I shouldn't have said that.
00:37:49Why not?
00:37:50Is the truth...
00:37:51We might still have a chance to get out of this.
00:37:53After all, we know the Air Force is still fighting.
00:37:56Only we're right in the middle.
00:37:59Funny, isn't it?
00:38:01This time yesterday, I wouldn't have cared if they dropped an H-bomb right on the roof.
00:38:08What do you mean?
00:38:09This afternoon when you found me, I told you I'd slept through the evacuation.
00:38:15Well, didn't that sound a little peculiar to you?
00:38:20Maybe I didn't think it was any of my business then.
00:38:24And now?
00:38:26A lot's happened since then.
00:38:30Now I want to know everything I can about you.
00:38:33Would it make any difference if I told you the reason I slept through everything was because...
00:38:38Because I never intended to wake up.
00:38:41At all.
00:38:41I tried to kill myself last night, Frank.
00:38:50Sleeping pills.
00:38:53I know what you're thinking.
00:38:54Otis wanted to live and he died.
00:38:56I wanted to die and...
00:38:58Oh, I guess it doesn't make much sense.
00:39:01Suicide never does.
00:39:03But why should a girl like you...
00:39:05What do you know about me?
00:39:07I could be anything.
00:39:08A thief, a murderess.
00:39:10Even worse.
00:39:11No, I don't think so.
00:39:13Whatever you did, there must have been a very good reason.
00:39:16You don't need a reason to die, Frank.
00:39:19Just one to live.
00:39:22Somehow I thought that I didn't have one anymore.
00:39:26You still feel that way?
00:39:29I don't know why, but everything's changed.
00:39:33Now that it's too late to do anything about it.
00:39:36Right.
00:39:43What have you got?
00:39:44A report from the 337th Fighter Bomber Command.
00:39:47Any of them get through?
00:39:49Not a one, sir.
00:39:53If those jets can't get through, nothing can.
00:39:57What about the atomic artillery?
00:39:59We got the new models that were flown in an hour ago.
00:40:01They won't be assembled for several hours.
00:40:04Are they sending us the new guided missiles?
00:40:06Yes, we received those along with the atomic artillery.
00:40:10I never thought the day would come when we turned them against one of our own cities.
00:40:15There won't be a building left standing.
00:40:17I know, I know.
00:40:18It can't be helped.
00:40:19Virgin Dispatch, sir, from Colonel Powers, 7th Armored Division.
00:40:30We've captured one.
00:40:31How'd they do it?
00:40:32A tank crew picked them up by the side of the road in sector B-107.
00:40:37It says it was completely inactive, lying there.
00:40:40Where is he now?
00:40:42They're bringing him into the lab, sir.
00:40:44The lab?
00:40:45Why not to interrogation?
00:40:47We'll find out when we get over there.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:49There's a third pair in the last ten minutes.
00:40:58I wonder where they're going.
00:41:00I don't know.
00:41:01But I got a good suggestion for them.
00:41:04Vicki, how can you joke at a time like this?
00:41:06Don't kid yourself, honey.
00:41:08The only reason I open my trap is to keep my teeth from chattering.
00:41:11Those things out there are bad enough in broad daylight.
00:41:14It's going to be dark pretty soon.
00:41:16You know, I was just thinking, as long as we have to stay here,
00:41:18we might as well do it the right way.
00:41:20Now, there must be a flashlight or some candles around somewhere.
00:41:23Why don't I go and look for them?
00:41:24You mean you're downstairs alone?
00:41:26With all those creeps around, not on your life.
00:41:28Well, we have to have some light, and who knows?
00:41:30I might be able to find some food.
00:41:32All right, but I'm going with you.
00:41:34One of us ought to stay here with the girls.
00:41:36All right, you stay.
00:41:37Oh, we're so gallant all of a sudden.
00:41:39Yesterday, you wouldn't even stand up to give me a seat on the bus.
00:41:42Yeah, and today, the buses aren't running anymore.
00:41:45Jim is right, Frank.
00:41:46You should both go.
00:41:47It's the only fair thing to do.
00:41:48What about you and Vicki?
00:41:49Don't worry about us.
00:41:51We'll lock ourselves in until you get back.
00:41:54Go on, get started while I'm still some light.
00:41:56Come on.
00:42:09Where is he?
00:42:15Right here, sir.
00:42:17Hi, Tom.
00:42:18Hello, General.
00:42:22Robot.
00:42:23Yes, sir.
00:42:24We think they all are.
00:42:26It's fantastic.
00:42:27No wonder we haven't been able to stop them anywhere.
00:42:31Well, at least now we know what we're up against.
00:42:34We only had a little time to work out a defense.
00:42:37Well, we've already started electronic research.
00:42:39The objective being to find out what caused this break.
00:42:43We might have a few hours if we're lucky, and they hold off reinforcing their advance elements.
00:42:49Has the general staff been notified?
00:42:51Yes, sir.
00:42:51Major Reynolds sent an urgent message.
00:42:53Good.
00:42:54They'll probably want to fly in a team from G2.
00:42:58What are the landing strip enable sector held at all costs?
00:43:00Yes, sir.
00:43:06That'll take almost four hours.
00:43:09I doubt that we'll have the time.
00:43:12I understand, General.
00:43:13We'll do everything we can, just in case.
00:43:28Oh, my God.
00:43:58Better keep away from the window, Nora.
00:44:05No use taking any more chances than we have to.
00:44:08I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking.
00:44:10We shouldn't have let them go, Vicky.
00:44:12Something's gone wrong. I know it.
00:44:14Hey.
00:44:16Hey, take it easy, kid.
00:44:17They've been gone almost 20 minutes.
00:44:20If anything's happened to Frank, I'll never forgive myself.
00:44:24I thought you just met him today.
00:44:26What's that got to do with it?
00:44:28Nothing. Not a thing.
00:44:30It's just that way with me and Jim.
00:44:33Only neither one of us was smart enough to do anything about it.
00:44:38Hey, open up. It's us.
00:44:44I thought you'd never get that.
00:44:45Hey, you hit the jackpot.
00:44:47You ain't seen nothing yet.
00:44:48Better wait till I make sure the drapes are drawn tightly.
00:44:50Okay.
00:45:01There you are. All the comforts of home.
00:45:02Sure. If you like haunted houses.
00:45:05Don't you two ever do anything besides insult each other?
00:45:08Oh, we have our moments.
00:45:09Yeah, but this isn't one of them.
00:45:11Oh, funny.
00:45:12How long do you think we'll have to stay here?
00:45:14I'm afraid that's up to the army.
00:45:17Yeah, but whose?
00:45:19Ours or theirs.
00:45:20You have to do that.
00:45:37You'd think you were in a cage or something the way you keep pacing around.
00:45:40What do you want me to do?
00:45:42Take a nice long walk out in the street.
00:45:44A few more hours in this fleet trap and we'll all be stir crazy.
00:45:47Well, at least we're still alive.
00:45:49Now sit down and keep your mouth shut.
00:45:50Who do you think you are ordering me around like a train monkey?
00:45:53You'd think we were married or something.
00:45:55Well, if we're not, it ain't because you haven't been trying for the last ten years.
00:45:58Go ahead.
00:45:59Rub it in.
00:46:00I ought to have my head examined for putting up with you at all.
00:46:04We wouldn't be here now if you listened to me last night.
00:46:06Sure. The whole thing's my fault.
00:46:07I even planned the invasion.
00:46:09We still could have been evacuated with the others.
00:46:12But no.
00:46:12No, you had to drink your way through half the bars in town.
00:46:15All right, so I did a little celebrating.
00:46:17How often does a guy hit the daily double at 60 to 1?
00:46:20Once in ten years, if you're any example.
00:46:23Let's live, baby.
00:46:25I hit the GGs for 240 clams.
00:46:27Ha!
00:46:28A lot of good the money is now.
00:46:30You didn't have to come along.
00:46:31You ain't the only blonde around.
00:46:39Crazy dame.
00:46:41Jim, why do we have to fight like this all the time?
00:46:58I don't know, baby.
00:46:59I'll tell you one thing.
00:47:02If you ever get out of this thing alive,
00:47:04we'll do a lot of fighting from the same corner from the heart.
00:47:07Fireworks over?
00:47:23For a few rounds, anyway.
00:47:28You know what's funny about those two?
00:47:30Gee, they needle each other every minute.
00:47:32Yep, when the chips are down.
00:47:34I know.
00:47:35Jerry and I were a lot like that.
00:47:38Jerry?
00:47:38My husband.
00:47:48Thanks.
00:47:52What happened to your husband?
00:47:55He was killed.
00:47:58In an automobile accident six months ago.
00:48:01Oh, we were arguing just like Jim and Vicky.
00:48:04I was driving, never even saw the car that hit us.
00:48:06When I regained consciousness in the hospital,
00:48:09they told me Jerry was dead.
00:48:15And you've been blaming yourself ever since.
00:48:19Is that why you took those sleeping pills?
00:48:23Oh, I guess.
00:48:26I know how you must feel, Nora,
00:48:27but you can't keep on letting it get you like I did last night.
00:48:31I'm sorry.
00:48:34It's just that I've never been able to talk about it.
00:48:37To the home.
00:48:40We've been on the go for nearly 14 hours.
00:48:43What you need is a little sleep.
00:48:45With one of those things or whatever they are alive
00:48:48would have burst in here any minute.
00:48:50I haven't tried anything yet.
00:48:51I think we're safe enough until morning.
00:48:53And after that?
00:48:56Look, you share the bedroom with Vicky.
00:48:59Jim and I will be in the other room,
00:49:00just in case anything happens.
00:49:02Well, that'll do it for the time being.
00:49:30All right, cut in your generator.
00:49:32So that's what makes them tick.
00:49:58Electronics.
00:49:59Well, let's call it a system of electromagnetic impulses.
00:50:03By exerting positive or negative charges, as the case may be,
00:50:08they've been able to duplicate every desired motion of the human body.
00:50:12Hmm.
00:50:12What's it made of?
00:50:14Surgical steel, according to all the usual tests.
00:50:18But how they make it pliable in the joints is something else.
00:50:21An army of machines, incapable of pain, fear, or compassion,
00:50:25and practically indestructible.
00:50:28Well, there's got to be a human element somewhere.
00:50:30No machine can think for itself.
00:50:31Now, we're coming to that.
00:50:32Barton, would you set up the helmet for another test, please?
00:50:35Now, as far as we've been able to determine,
00:50:41these robots operate on a radar principle,
00:50:43utilizing the super-high frequencies.
00:50:45Like our homing-type guided missiles.
00:50:47Precisely.
00:50:48First, an image is picked up on the cathode ray tube,
00:50:51which is mounted in the face of the helmet.
00:50:53From there, it's transmitted to some control point or monitor station by this.
00:50:58I've never seen anything like it.
00:51:02Are you sure this is a transmitter?
00:51:04It has to be from the position it occupied in the helmet
00:51:06in relation to the cathode tube.
00:51:08Actually, it operates on a completely different principle
00:51:10from anything we've ever developed.
00:51:12What's its frequency range?
00:51:13So far, we haven't been able to figure it out.
00:51:15What about the antenna?
00:51:17The length of that ought to give you a lead.
00:51:18There is no antenna.
00:51:20They must utilize a portion of the surface of the shell,
00:51:24or perhaps the entire robot.
00:51:26Well, then there's no way we can jam it
00:51:28and put their whole army out of commission.
00:51:29I'm afraid not.
00:51:31What about the control point?
00:51:32They have to correlate their information somewhere
00:51:34and send back the impulses to guide the machine.
00:51:37Well, that all depends on the strength of the transmitter.
00:51:39Could be only a few miles.
00:51:42On the other hand,
00:51:43it might reach all the way back to their home base.
00:51:47Wherever that may be.
00:51:50There's got to be a weak point somewhere.
00:51:52What about the cathode ray tube?
00:51:54It was damaged, wasn't it?
00:51:55That's right.
00:51:56It was the only visible damage.
00:51:58And we figured that it put the entire mechanism out of commission.
00:52:01Well, if that's the case,
00:52:02you mean all we have to do is knock out the cathode ray tube.
00:52:05Except for two things.
00:52:07In the first place,
00:52:08nobody's ever been able to get that close to one
00:52:10without being annihilated.
00:52:13In the second?
00:52:14I'll show you.
00:52:20Everything's set, Tom.
00:52:21Thank you, Barton.
00:52:23As you can see,
00:52:23this is a standard M1 semi-automatic rifle.
00:52:26It's aimed squarely
00:52:28at the center of the undamaged portion of the tube.
00:52:31Now, if you gentlemen will just stand back.
00:52:32It didn't even ricochet.
00:52:53It just flattened down like a water chewing gun.
00:52:56That's right.
00:52:58I don't know how that tube was cracked originally,
00:53:01but we'll never do it with a bullet,
00:53:03even at point-blank range.
00:53:05There's no idea.
00:53:13There's no reason.
00:53:23There's no reason.
00:53:24There's no reason.
00:53:24Now, let's do it with a what's going on like a beat.
00:53:26You see,
00:53:28what you see there's no reason.
00:53:29You see?
00:54:01What's the matter with you in the other room?
00:54:21Quick.
00:54:23Frank, help me.
00:54:27He's caught by the fingers.
00:54:28Jim, give me a hand.
00:54:31Stand back.
00:54:37Keep away.
00:54:40Hold it, sister, before you get hurt.
00:54:45All right, now back out in the center of the room.
00:54:47Let's go.
00:54:49That goes for you too, Junior.
00:54:50Start moving.
00:54:53Do as he says, Jim.
00:54:54Please.
00:54:55Not so fast.
00:54:56Who are you and what do you want?
00:54:58You heard what the lady said.
00:55:00Start moving.
00:55:00That's better.
00:55:21Is there any light in here?
00:55:23There's a candle on the table right behind you.
00:55:26There, now.
00:55:51Now, suppose we all keep calm and have a little talk.
00:56:00Nice and friendly-like.
00:56:02Oh, sure.
00:56:03All my friends carry guns.
00:56:05Why did you take a shot at us through the door?
00:56:07What did you expect me to do?
00:56:08Stand still while you chop my hand off?
00:56:10We thought you were one of the invaders.
00:56:11You know something.
00:56:15I thought the same thing about you.
00:56:17All right, so we all made a mistake.
00:56:19You're going to hold that gun on us all night?
00:56:21I don't know yet.
00:56:24It all depends on you.
00:56:41What happened?
00:57:00Well, it looks like a whole chain of resistors went out.
00:57:04We'll have to start again from scratch.
00:57:06How long will it take?
00:57:07How about an hour, unless his playmates beat us to the punch.
00:57:37Look, do you have to do that?
00:57:44What are you talking about?
00:57:45In the last half hour, you've done everything but kiss that gun.
00:57:49Gives me the creeps.
00:57:51Well, no, I'm real sorry.
00:57:54I didn't know you were the sensitive type.
00:57:57She's not, but I am.
00:58:01Now, put that away before somebody gets hurt.
00:58:03I wouldn't try anything if I were you.
00:58:08Wouldn't be smart.
00:58:09Forget it, Jim.
00:58:11I guess I'm jumpy on that thought.
00:58:13We all are, since he showed up.
00:58:16Look, if you don't like this setup, why don't you leave?
00:58:21I wouldn't have a chance by myself.
00:58:23And neither would you without this gun.
00:58:25No matter how you figure it, we're just stuck with each other.
00:58:33Nora, come on, let's try to get some sleep.
00:58:55Hey, what time is it?
00:59:126.15.
00:59:14The sun's coming up.
00:59:16What happens now?
00:59:18We can't leave until we're sure they're gone.
00:59:21Let's pray they don't search the building.
00:59:23You know, I don't know which is worse.
00:59:25Taking a chance outside or being cooped up here with that trigger-happy screwball.
00:59:30You mean Davis?
00:59:30Yeah.
00:59:31Every time he looks at me, I...
00:59:33Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:59:35You know, this may sound crazy, but I swear I've seen that guy somewhere before.
00:59:39It's possible.
00:59:40He could have lived or worked in your own neighborhood.
00:59:43You could have passed him on the street a dozen times.
00:59:45That is what I meant.
00:59:47Here's another thing.
00:59:49Why wasn't he evacuated like everybody else in town?
00:59:51You forget they overlooked us, too.
00:59:54We've only got ourselves to blame.
00:59:56Maybe.
00:59:58Only what about that gun?
01:00:00Hmm?
01:00:01I'm not sure, but it looks just like a police revolver.
01:00:04Now you are imagining things.
01:00:06And if it were true, how would you know?
01:00:08Are you kidding?
01:00:09There isn't a flat foot I'd...
01:00:12Ah, skip it.
01:00:13I must be off my rocker.
01:00:16Boy, what I need is a drink.
01:00:17There's some beer in the kitchen.
01:00:20It's probably awfully warm by now.
01:00:22Honey, I don't care if it's on fire.
01:00:24I'll get it.
01:00:25I want to see if Frank's awake anyway.
01:00:27Suit yourself.
01:00:29I always did like breakfast in bed.
01:00:31I will be a minute.
01:00:33Uh-huh.
01:00:33Mm-hmm.
01:02:04How long?
01:02:05Not now.
01:02:07Please, I'm tired.
01:02:09Later on.
01:02:10Not very friendly, are you?
01:02:11It's my privilege.
01:02:13Well, maybe you'd like to change your mind.
01:02:15I'll remember that.
01:02:21So will I.
01:02:22Now, let me pass.
01:02:23Use your head, Nora.
01:02:25We're in a tight spot.
01:02:26I can get us out of here alive.
01:02:28How?
01:02:29Now, look.
01:02:30There's a main sewer line on 7th Street, only a block from here.
01:02:34Once we reach it, we could double back behind their lines.
01:02:36We'd be safe.
01:02:37How come you haven't told the others?
01:02:39Why should I?
01:02:40We couldn't all make it without being spotted.
01:02:43We could try.
01:02:43Uh-huh.
01:02:45No, I've got other plans for them.
01:02:48Yes, I think we use them as decoys.
01:02:51While they're being run down, we make a break in the opposite direction.
01:02:55Just you and me.
01:02:56You mean you'd kill all the others just to save your own life?
01:03:02Yours, too.
01:03:03Don't forget that.
01:03:04You must be insane if you think I do.
01:03:08You shouldn't have said that, Nora.
01:03:10I don't like people who think I'm crazy.
01:03:12Let me go.
01:03:14Frank, help, Frank.
01:03:15Yeah, fire, wife, but call them all.
01:03:16You had your chance.
01:03:18All right, take your hands off, are you?
01:03:19Why are you?
01:03:20All right.
01:03:23All right, now back out in the center of the living room.
01:03:25All of you.
01:03:25Let's go.
01:03:39Figure it at 14 millimeters.
01:03:42I got it.
01:03:43Where will we start the machine?
01:03:45If anybody started at 30,000.
01:03:46We'll bring it up at controlled intervals from there.
01:03:48Right.
01:03:50How long will it take?
01:03:52For just a few minutes, we're making some last-minute changes now.
01:03:54You still figure the answer's in the cathode ray tube?
01:03:56It's got to be.
01:03:57Of course, we're hampered by the fact that the surface is an integral part of the helmet itself.
01:04:00We couldn't dare risk taking it out.
01:04:02This is our last chance, Tom.
01:04:03The atomic artillery and guided missiles are all assembled and in position.
01:04:06If we don't come up with anything in the next five minutes, I've got orders to start shelling the city.
01:04:13All right, sir.
01:04:14Good.
01:04:14Now, if you gentlemen just stand over there.
01:04:16All right, sir.
01:04:46All right.
01:04:54All right.
01:04:54All right.
01:05:04Oh, my God.
01:05:34Okay.
01:05:38This is far enough for now.
01:05:40What are you trying to prove, Davis?
01:05:42You'll find out when I'm good and ready to tell you.
01:05:46Go on up front and see if you can spot any of our playmates on the street.
01:05:49If you're so interested, go see for yourself.
01:05:53I said get moving.
01:05:55Before this gun happens to go off.
01:05:58In somebody's belly.
01:06:00Stay where you are, Vicky.
01:06:01He hasn't enough nerve to shoot.
01:06:03Oh, I wouldn't count on that if I were you.
01:06:07You win.
01:06:23See anything?
01:06:24Sure.
01:06:25There's one out there on the front lawn.
01:06:29Having a picnic.
01:06:31How far away is it?
01:06:34About 50 yards on the other side of the street.
01:06:36Moving away from us.
01:06:38Good.
01:06:39We'll give it a couple of minutes.
01:06:40You talk as though you expect to go out there.
01:06:43I'm not.
01:06:44But you are.
01:06:45Oh.
01:06:46And what makes you so sure of that?
01:06:48Because I've got the gun.
01:06:50So that's it.
01:06:51We're the pigeons so you can take off all that thing out there that chases us.
01:06:55Well, now you catch on real quick.
01:06:57But that would be murder.
01:06:59Maybe.
01:07:00Only this time nobody can do a thing about it.
01:07:03This time?
01:07:05Sure.
01:07:06I knew he looked familiar.
01:07:08He's the guy that killed that dame down on Skid Row about a month ago.
01:07:11It was in all the papers.
01:07:12That's right.
01:07:13Big headlines.
01:07:14Lots of pictures.
01:07:15Just like there'll be when I found out I killed the guard and got away during the evacuation.
01:07:19So that's why you stayed behind.
01:07:21You didn't dare leave the city.
01:07:22They'll be watching every road out of town.
01:07:25Sure.
01:07:26Every road except the ones behind the enemy lines.
01:07:29Now all I need is a five minute start.
01:07:32And you're going to give it to me.
01:07:35Now get moving.
01:07:36All of you.
01:07:37But you can't do this.
01:07:39Well, what'll it be, guys?
01:07:41Take a chance on the street or get it here.
01:07:44It won't work, Buster.
01:07:45If we're going to die anyway, one of us will get you first.
01:07:57I'm warning you.
01:07:59Keep back.
01:08:03You won't shoot.
01:08:15Frank, your shoulder.
01:08:24No, it's not bad.
01:08:43Frank.
01:08:43I'm sorry, Jim.
01:09:04You're crazy dame.
01:09:28Back to the stairs, quick!
01:09:30The gun.
01:09:31Where's the gun?
01:09:31Jim, aim for his face!
01:09:48Upstairs, it's our only chance.
01:09:49Here, once this gun.
01:09:53And then this gun.
01:10:05I've got young heads, let me go.
01:10:07There's a gun.
01:10:08Let's go.
01:10:08There's a gun to do it.
01:10:12That's a fin.
01:10:13Oh!
01:10:43Go on, I'll try to hold this floor and see if you can find a way to another roof.
01:11:11There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:11:22Over there, quick!
01:11:27There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:11:42There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:11:57There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:12:12There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:12:27There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:12:42There must be a ladder somewhere.
01:12:56You folks okay?
01:12:57We are now.
01:12:58But if you got here 30 seconds later, it would have been a different story.
01:13:01What are you doing in the city anyway?
01:13:02Don't you know it's a combat zone?
01:13:04You should have been evacuated like everybody else.
01:13:06I guess we were overlooked.
01:13:07By the time we guessed what was happening, it was too late to leave.
01:13:10Those men were everywhere.
01:13:12Not men, lady.
01:13:13They were robots.
01:13:14A whole army of them.
01:13:15No wonder the bullets wouldn't stop them.
01:13:17Nothing will.
01:13:18Except this.
01:13:19I don't understand.
01:13:21What is it?
01:13:22An oscillator.
01:13:23You heard the noise it puts out.
01:13:25We discovered the robots couldn't take the vibrations of the sound waves.
01:13:28It smashes the glass in their cathode ray tube.
01:13:31You mean the vibrations smash the tubes?
01:13:33That's right.
01:13:34Puts them out of commission and nothing flat.
01:13:36Then you mean the city and the whole world is safe again?
01:13:39Maybe.
01:13:40Till the next time.
01:13:41What makes you so sure there'll be a next time?
01:13:44Well, from what I was told, if they would have used a certain metal instead of glass in that cube,
01:13:48all the oscillators in the world couldn't have stopped them.
01:13:51But don't worry, folks.
01:13:53We're working on that right now.
01:13:55Hop in the Jeep and we'll see what the medics can do with that arm.
01:14:11Here we go.
01:14:26THE END
01:14:56THE END
