00:00You know, we really appreciate your help on this, Christopher.
00:18You've been a very, a very willing subject.
00:21Oh, no problem.
00:22Watching this TV ad was the easiest 50 bucks I've ever made.
00:25Good, good.
00:26Now, the second phase of this experiment, all you have to do is go and buy the first magazine that attracts your attention.
00:34Just don't take longer than 15 seconds to decide.
00:37Got it.
00:40Why don't you keep the difference on this?
00:43That's for going the extra mile with us.
00:45Hey, call me anytime.
00:47Grad school is expensive.
00:50Okay, just remember, don't take more than 15 seconds.
00:53Got it.
00:54Go.
00:56That's what I want.
01:26That's what I want.
01:56Fastest time so far?
01:58Fastest time so far?
02:28Fastest time so far?
02:58Fastest time so far?
03:281-6-9-7-Broadway-Sunday-Yabussaw-Krpshawo-Bghaha-W-N-2-B-M-J-Kmasa-Tamaduka-Kum-Sy-Zulman-Shawo-Sunday-
03:45It sounded like 1-6-9-7-Broadway-Sunday.
03:48Some of the words must not translate.
03:52That call sign was definitely out of New York.
03:55Well, we're gonna have to fly to make there by Sunday. It'd be expensive.
04:00We'll have to sell the car.
04:25The arrival of Beatlemania changed everything.
04:35The mourning period for President Kennedy was officially over.
04:40Into this time of new hope, we made some decisions.
04:44Now we wanted to be the hunters instead of the hunted.
04:49If you look at this crowd, these guys could turn out to be bigger than Elvis.
04:54Yeah, that's kind of fun.
04:56You got a thing for these guys, don't you?
04:58No, you're kind of cute.
05:01I don't like your cute.
05:03It's Leo.
05:05Let's make our way over towards security.
05:09No, John, this way.
05:11What are you doing?
05:13Just trust me.
05:19Just trust me.
05:20Oh, my God, it's time!
05:22Time!
05:23Time!
05:24Time!
05:25Time!
05:26Time!
05:27Time!
05:28Time!
05:29Time!
05:30Time!
05:31Time!
05:32Time!
05:33Time!
05:34Time!
05:35We're in uncharted territory here, Captain, like Louis Pasteur or Madame Curie.
05:49Frank?
05:50Half a minute back.
05:53We got a fix on steel.
05:55He landed in New York yesterday.
05:57He's still using that doctor's credit card, the one he jumped in Alabama.
06:00How many men we got in place?
06:01Three.
06:02Three.
06:03Already got him dragging the city.
06:04Keep me posted.
06:10This is what was inside your hive astronaut.
06:22It's 3.30 PM needle time, baby.
06:25The Fabulous Four arrived at Kennedy Airport earlier today, and it's a countdown to Sunday.
06:30The temperature outside is 31 Feetal Degrees, and this is Murray the cave.
06:33Hey.
06:34This can't be right.
06:37Well, maybe not.
06:38But, you know, everybody is talking about how big the Beatles are.
06:40The hive's not gonna go after a rock band.
06:41Maybe they just want to take away what people feel good about.
06:42Maybe they just want to take away what people feel good about.
06:46Well, I don't know enough about them to say that you're wrong.
06:47I could go inside.
06:48See all those girls over there?
06:49See all those girls over there?
06:50They all want to get inside.
06:51Let me give it a shot.
06:52Okay.
06:53I'll move on.
06:54I'll move on.
06:55I'll move on.
06:56I'll move on.
06:57I'll move on.
06:58I'll move on.
06:59I'll move on.
07:00I'll move on.
07:01I'll move on.
07:02I'll move on.
07:03The bee is talking about how big the Beatles are.
07:04The hive's not going to go after a rock band.
07:06Maybe they just want to take away what people feel good about.
07:09Well, I don't know enough about them to say that you're wrong.
07:13I could go inside.
07:15See all those girls over there?
07:17They all want to get inside.
07:18Let me give it a shot.
07:19Okay.
07:20I'll make some calls.
07:21I'll see if maybe I can get a name to that radio call sign.
07:23Good.
07:24Good luck.
07:25One, two, one, two, three, four, five.
07:28Oh, yes, wait a minute, no supposed to burn.
07:31Hey, you.
07:50This is a restricted area.
07:52I'm with Building Security.
07:54And you are who?
07:55Oh, Parkinson, Kenneth.
07:57I'm with the BBC.
07:58What do you do with the BBC?
07:59Uh, Tech Ops.
08:01I'm in charge of getting the broadcasts fed back to England.
08:04Just running a line tap.
08:06Sorry for giving you our time.
08:08We're supposed to be on the lookout for crashes.
08:11Photogs and birds, mostly.
08:13Tell me, how can I find whoever's in charge of the arrangements for the band?
08:16Oh, you want Mr. Epstein.
08:18He's the manager.
08:19Down at the sound check.
08:20And if you have any more questions, where can I find you?
08:22Oh, I'm around.
08:23Just follow the cables.
08:29If there's a love, a better for me.
08:34Oh, yes, we're...
08:35Okay, boys.
08:36Sounds good.
08:36Please, Mr. Sullivan, one moment, please.
08:50I must say it's very important.
08:52All right.
08:52Please, Mr. Sullivan, look.
08:54Mr. Sullivan, I would simply like to know the exact wording of your introduction.
08:58I would simply like you get lost.
09:07Excuse me, Mr. Epstein.
09:09Is this a bad time?
09:18I don't mind, Brian.
09:19He's like that with everybody.
09:20Yeah, how do you put up with it?
09:22I got me friends.
09:23They're not doing well.
09:25Look, um...
09:26John.
09:27Right, um, if you have a minute with your manager, you might want to have him double-check
09:30the security arrangements around here.
09:32Well, you think our security's bad?
09:35You might be right.
09:36They let you in now, didn't they?
09:54Hi.
09:55Hey!
09:55Nothing suspicious, but I did get to see a rehearsal and meet one of the Beatles.
10:00Which one?
10:01John.
10:02John Lennon?
10:05I'm sorry.
10:06He's...
10:06He's my favorite.
10:07Hey, jaw's pretty good.
10:09So how'd you do?
10:11Oh, well, I called the FCC, and it took some convincing, but I got them to give me the name
10:15and the address of the mystery ham operator.
10:17We know that not everyone in the hive of ducks gets implanted with a ganglion.
10:24Some are rejected.
10:26They're so-called throwbacks.
10:28The question is why.
10:28The question is why.
10:30The answer?
10:34Some sort of biological incompatibility.
10:37Have you found an incompatibility yet?
10:41No, not exactly.
10:44Well, sir, to really prove anything, I need a throwback to dissect.
10:48Well, as soon as we find a dead one, you'll be the first to know.
10:50Well, um, as you know, this ganglion was cerebrally evicted from a hiver, now injecting a non-hive
11:01blood sample from the throwback.
11:07It seems to be suffering some sort of violent rejection.
11:12Well, maybe a bit too violent.
11:20Back to school, huh?
11:35You can't look back over here!
11:38Well, I don't think anybody's home.
11:40Looking for something?
11:42Uh, Christopher Weatherly?
11:44My boyfriend and I went to high school with him, and, well, we just got into town and wanted
11:48to surprise him.
11:49I guess you didn't hear.
11:51Hear what?
11:52Christopher died last Thursday.
11:56They said he walked straight in front of a car, like he didn't even care.
12:00Oh, my God, why?
12:02Nobody knows.
12:03If you ask me, the whole family's screwy.
12:07I'm sorry.
12:08I'm sorry.
12:19Watch your head.
12:36I'll check upstairs.
12:38I'll check upstairs.
12:55Let's go.
13:25I found something. It was on the refrigerator.
13:30It's addressed to Christopher Weatherly.
13:32Yeah, and the neighbor said that he died last Thursday.
13:38His ham radio is tuned to the same way Ben that we picked up in the hotel room in Georgia.
13:42This guy was definitely Hive.
13:51You mean the window?
13:52No. Why would I do that?
13:55Come on.
14:14If we finally find our mystery man, and he's dead, we're right back where we started.
14:23Maybe not this logbook has all the names and call signs of everybody Christopher Weatherly talked to on his radio
14:29We can check some of them out see if anything leads back to the Sullivan theater. Look at this John
14:34That's the same name from the flyer
14:37Mr. Burnside has a ham radio, too
14:53Oh
15:08What if this turns out to be a trap what's going in
15:12Is this the line for the experiment yeah, I hope I'm not too late. They said this is the last day
15:18I came all the way from Albany. It's a three-hour ride it and I hate taking the train
15:22You came all that way just for this experiment. Well, not exactly
15:26I was gonna use the money to try and buy someone's ticket for the Beatles show tomorrow night
15:29Some people are actually selling them. I'm staying at my girlfriend Claire's house. Her parents are out of town and my parents don't know about it
15:37Oh
15:38I'm sorry. I didn't even introduce myself
15:41Marnie Lane, Jill Porter. This is my husband Russ. Hi. Hi. You must be quite a Beatles fan
15:47The biggest
15:48So you got one of these in the mail, too, huh? Uh-huh
15:51My dad said they get your name on list just to try to sell you stuff
15:54At least I make money on this one
15:56Hello, everyone. Oh
15:58Oh, well, we do apologize about the delay, but now that your forms are completed. We'll start the testing
16:04Oh, and uh, I almost forgot
16:06Anyone who has mailed an invitation in your own name
16:09Could you note that on the form, please?
16:11Thank you. Here we go
16:15We want to thank you all for coming here today
16:17Now I cannot guarantee that you will like all of the spots that we show you, but
16:23Well, at least it is warm in here
16:25It's a joke
16:28All right, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna like run some commercials for you
16:34And then I'm gonna pick your brain afterwards
16:38Any questions?
16:39Yeah, um, what is this being used for?
16:41Good, good. Our clients spend a lot of dough on marketing
16:45And they want to know what elements in the spots grab your attention
16:49The music, the copy
16:51Oh, you mean like what'll make you want to buy stuff
16:54Right, exactly
16:56Okay, good. Let's get rolling here
17:16I'm Chesty
17:18I'm Chesty
17:19Telling you that the most popular food for a snack or meal
17:23Is delicious, crunchy, Chesty potato chips
17:27That's right, Chesty
17:29For instance, at lunchtime, the kids at school line up for plenty of good food
17:33Topped off with those popular mouth-watering Chesty potato chips
17:36Look at those kids go for Chesty chips
17:39Johnny and Ruth bought their packages
17:41Jimmy's mother packed a bag in his lunchbox
17:43Gino's kids love nutritious, flavorful Chesty potato chips
17:47Whenever Chesty is served at meals or in between
17:49Appetizing Chesty potato chips are tops with kids and grown-ups alike
17:53Keep a large supply always on hand
17:55Because Chesty's are wonderful anytime
17:58And words are played
17:59For every course of every meal
18:01And remember the other wonderful Chesty foods
18:03Chesty ruffles and corny's
18:05On sale everywhere
18:06Food is fun to eat
18:08Chesty potato chips
18:09Food is fun to eat
18:10Chesty potato chips
18:11I need to get some air
18:19You wait here, I'm gonna go see if she's okay
18:25I'll see if she's okay
18:43Marnie, you okay?
18:45Yeah, I think so
18:47I just felt really sick all of a sudden
18:51Yeah, I know
18:53I got a little dizzy myself
18:55My dad always said too much TV will rot your brain
19:01I better get back to my girlfriends
19:06I don't know
19:08Whoa
19:10Um, you know what?
19:12Maybe you shouldn't go anywhere until you feel better
19:14Let's sit down
19:22I'll be okay
19:24It always just takes a few minutes
19:26Has this happened before?
19:30It usually happens when I have this one dream
19:40I can't run fast enough and
19:44I get the same feeling like I'm gonna be sick
19:50Can you tell me your whole dream?
19:52You won't think I'm weird
19:56No, promise
19:58No, promise
20:06It starts out
20:08I'm in the car with my Aunt Hazel
20:12We're driving to Niagara Falls for the weekend
20:14To meet my cousins
20:18I remember we're arguing over the radio
20:22There's a song I like playing
20:24And I wanted to turn it up
20:26And suddenly
20:30And the radio starts going crazy
20:32What's wrong with this thing?
20:40There are bright lights
20:42The antenna snaps right off the car
20:54And it flies right into the light
20:56It's like a saucer
20:58It just keeps coming closer and closer
21:04So I jump out of the car
21:06And I start running into the woods
21:08I'm running
21:10I'm not fast enough
21:14I'm running
21:18I'm running
21:20I'm not fast enough
21:30It's okay
21:32It's okay
21:34It's okay
21:36A dream
21:38A dream
21:44I don't know
21:46How much is really a dream
21:50You see
21:52I did go to Niagara Falls
21:54I did go to Niagara Falls with my ear
21:56About six months ago
21:58When did you start having a dream?
22:00About a month ago
22:02They started off as little flashes
22:06Even when I wasn't asleep
22:08Am I crazy?
22:12Am I crazy?
22:16Fine
22:18You're perfectly normal
22:20Really?
22:22Yeah
22:23Really
22:28That's my bus
22:30Maybe I should start heading back to my friends
22:34You know, you should go back to your girlfriends
22:36It won't be so bad watching the Beatles on TV
22:40Maybe
22:42Thanks
23:04Scan
23:06They look familiar
23:08Never seen him before
23:10Hey
23:16They some kind of criminals or what?
23:22Oh
23:24They're very dangerous
23:32She's either high, but she's one of those people that got thrown back
23:35She's not high
23:36Well, she got a flyer in the mail just like Christopher Weatherly
23:38And we know that he was one of them
23:40But all she remembers is being abducted, not implanted
23:44What was I supposed to do, John?
23:46She's just a kid
23:48She wants to see the Beatles and have fun
23:50If I tell you the truth, she loses everything
23:52Well, nothing else happened in there that I could see
23:56There's gotta be some connection to the Sullivan Theater
24:00The Beatles on Ed Sullivan
24:02There's gotta be more people watching that than any show in history
24:06But if you can't wait that long
24:08Could you turn that up, please?
24:10Could you turn that up, please?
24:12Get out, get out, get out, get out, come on
24:18Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, come on
24:20Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out
24:22What is wrong with you? You almost got yourself killed
24:24I don't know what got into me
24:29What is wrong with you? You almost got yourself killed
24:47I don't know what got into me
24:54I think they did something to us in there.
25:07Do you remember how they used to plant subliminal messages
25:10that many people wanted by popcorn or candy bars?
25:12Try to jump out of a moving car?
25:14Maybe.
25:15I was in there, too.
25:17You weren't abducted, John, but I was, and so was Marnie.
25:20And Christopher Weatherly, but if he was high,
25:22why would they want to train?
25:23Yeah, okay, I know.
25:24Why would Burnside want to kill one of his own?
25:37What?
25:42Check the name of the license.
25:44Christopher Weatherly.
25:45Senior.
25:48It's like the astronauts.
25:49One wasn't planted and one wasn't.
25:52Christopher wasn't hive.
25:53It was his father who was on the radio.
25:55Look out!
25:56Look out!
25:56Come on!
25:59Let's go!
26:00See you next time.
26:18Ah!
26:18Ah!
26:19Ah!
26:19Ah!
26:20Ah!
26:20Ah!
26:20Ah!
26:21I keep saying we need proof the hive exists.
26:48Well, here he is.
26:49If we turn him into the authorities, they're just gonna think he's a freak.
26:53Until they cut his head open.
26:54They're not gonna cut his head open as long as he's alive.
26:57Only Majestic would do that.
26:59They already tried, college boy.
27:04What's gonna happen tomorrow night at the Sullivan Theater?
27:07I'm sorry, that's neat to know.
27:09Wrong answer.
27:11Who's Ron Burnside?
27:14What are you all doing here? What do you want?
27:18You'll find out soon enough.
27:26Jim Steele's life is of no consequence.
27:34Jim Steele is wrong.
27:36Who are you calling?
27:44Probably the only friend we got left.
27:46Attorney General's office, may I help you?
27:58Mr. Kennedy, please.
27:59Who's calling, please?
28:00Tell him it's John Lowengard.
28:02Thanks, buddy.
28:14Michael, thanks buddy.
28:15Thanks, buddy.
28:17I love you.
28:18Good night.
28:27This isn't evidence, Jim Steele's life is a wonderful character,
28:30I love you too.
28:31I love you too.
28:32I love you too.
28:34I love you too.
28:35Mr. Kennedy?
28:47I'm over here, John.
28:55Lesson to be learned, John.
28:57Never trust the telephone.
28:59Not even when it's the attorney general's.
29:01You have something you wanted him to see.
29:03What makes you think I'd show you?
29:05What makes you think you have a choice?
29:29He's clean.
29:33Jim Steele.
29:46Is he alive?
29:47If you want to call it that.
29:49Where?
29:53You get Steele when I get what I want.
29:56Manpower and Halligan.
29:58Tell the good doctor he's making a house call.
30:06Look.
30:07It's your call, Frank.
30:09You kill me, steal rods.
30:12It's up to you.
30:13Can I help you?
30:26Yeah, I'm here about the experiment.
30:28The experiment's been concluded.
30:33What do you mean it's been concluded?
30:35I mean it's over.
30:37Lady, have a heart.
30:38I just lost my job.
30:39Frankly, I could use the cash.
30:41May I suggest then that you find another job?
30:48Don't move!
30:50Hold it!
30:50My job!
30:54Where are you going?
30:55Yeah, after him!
30:58All right!
30:59This is the area!
30:59Wait!
31:00Come on!
31:00Come on!
31:00Come on!
31:01Come on!
31:01Come on!
31:01Come on!
31:02Come on!
31:02Come on!
31:02Come on!
31:03Come on!
31:04Come on!
31:05Come on!
31:06Come on!
31:07Come on!
31:08Come on!
31:09It's a GCD, ganglion containment device.
31:16The last thing we need is a wiggler loose in here.
31:28We got it.
31:33There it is.
31:34Right there.
31:35That's the trigger.
31:36Like the one you picked up from the song on the radio.
31:38Yeah, that is definitely a hypnotic suggestion.
31:40That the symbol acts as a kind of, uh, built-in coding mechanism so that everyone who's abducted
31:45gets exposed to a kind of, uh, mental programming, which when triggered causes confusion, bewilderment,
31:51like, like, like you felt.
31:52Built-in?
31:53Yeah, it's like they're creating a bunch of self-destructive time bombs.
31:55Like Christopher Weatherly.
31:56Mm-hmm.
31:57Right.
31:58Albano did say the father and son were abducted last August, so that means the hive is targeting throwbacks.
32:03Right.
32:04The theory is that every throwback gets programmed with normal-seeming events in order to cover their actual abduction experience.
32:10So why are people like Marnie remembering the real events?
32:13Well, uh, we're, we're not quite clear on that yet.
32:16Although it does appear that these so-called cover memories are tending to fade more quickly in younger people.
32:22We lost Burnside.
32:23He got into the subway tunnels.
32:26What I still don't understand is why the hive would go through this much trouble to kill a few people.
32:31It's more than a few.
32:34These must be all the names of the throwbacks who were male in Burnside's flyer.
32:38Three of the names are marked with the date and time they came in here.
32:41All three are marked deceased.
32:44Christopher Weatherly's name is just one of several dozen in New York.
32:48That was their experiment.
32:49Test the self-destruct code and see if it actually works.
32:53Subliminal programming's only good for about 36 hours, so you should be all right.
32:58But all the others?
33:00There's no hint of foul play here.
33:02No murder investigations.
33:05This is brilliant.
33:08Very good.
33:11Now, why the Ed Sullivan Theater?
33:12These people can't all be throwbacks.
33:14Seventy million people are supposed to be watching the Beatles on TV tonight.
33:18It's not the concert.
33:19It's the broadcast.
33:21Right.
33:23They're trying to kill all the throwbacks.
33:24Excuse us.
33:36Excuse us.
33:38Excuse us.
33:40Hey, Lon.
33:40Yeah.
33:41We're with security.
33:43We're with security.
33:47All right.
33:48All right.
33:48Could you try going back a couple frames?
34:07Take it back to...
34:09Frank, we can't keep these people out much longer.
34:14The show goes on in 30 minutes.
34:16What about the weather, Lisa?
34:17Police is cleared out.
34:18Frank, you can't take a chance.
34:19You've got to stop this show.
34:21That would raise too many questions.
34:22Innocent lives are at stake.
34:24Only if they see the trigger frames.
34:26We've been through every commercial spot.
34:27There's no spliced-in frames.
34:28Then obviously we're missing something.
34:31I want to talk to whoever's in charge here.
34:33Now, I will not allow my control booth to be held hostage.
34:37Frank, stop this.
34:39Mr. Sullivan, we're all done here.
34:42Thank you very much for your patience.
34:45Uh-huh.
34:46You people are out of your minds.
34:54Hold it.
34:54Hold it.
34:55Hold it.
34:55Come back.
35:01All right.
35:02Keep going.
35:04Forward.
35:06You should have told Mr. Sullivan.
35:08Told him what?
35:09That aliens are using this broadcast to try and kill people?
35:11Maybe we can pull the plug ourselves.
35:12There must be a way.
35:14Line taps.
35:15What?
35:16The technician I talked to said that the broadcast gets fed out of here to go all over the world.
35:20We've got to talk to him.
35:23Anyone seen Kenneth Parkinson, the BBC guy?
35:26He's right over there.
35:34Ken.
35:36Ken, what happened?
35:38I found this on cable.
35:40I followed it up to the rigging on stage right.
35:44Next thing I know, I've laid out like a codfish.
35:48Are you going to be okay?
35:49No, I'll be fine.

37:21John.
37:22I found the cable.
37:25I think they're dropping the images right into the program.
37:38All alert, Buck.
37:39Right.

42:43For those few moments, the Beatles made Kim and me feel like everyone else in the country.
43:09Hopeful, optimistic, glad to be alive.
43:14We weren't ignoring the fight, we were drawing the line between humans and the Hive.
43:21That night, we felt like we could win.
