00:00The End
00:30Peter's not doing bad, considering that bump on his head.
00:48Keeler must have hit him pretty hard, then.
00:50He did.
00:51Tell me, what actually did happen?
00:53Well, I was driving, and Keeler suddenly produced this gun.
00:57We don't know where from.
00:58They struggled, and Peter got whammed on the head.
01:00Keeler forced them to stop the car, and then made a run for it.
01:03You both were lucky to get away in one piece.
01:05Say that again.
01:07That's one bit of an excitement I could have well done without.
01:10The pity he got away.
01:11What are we to do now?
01:13As you know, one of the invaders was destroyed, the second one.
01:15It is believed to have crashed in the Nefud Desert.
01:18The two remaining survivors have gone back into orbit.
01:20Efforts are now being made to contact them.
01:22Can we do so, and explain to them the destruction of their second craft was caused by hitherto
01:27to unexplained images on our radar screens, false images, and wrong tracking signals.
01:33This must be answered very quickly, if we are to survive.
01:37Hello?
01:37Car?
01:38Oh, I hear you sending an expedition to the Arabian Desert to find the spot where the invaders crashed.
01:43I want Peter Barry to cover the story.
01:45Can...
01:45Look, I don't give a damn about security.
01:48I want Peter to go.
01:50Right.
01:51Well, you'd better make it two while you're at it.
01:53I'm sending Diana Winters my assistant as well.
01:55What?
01:56You know you'll love it.
01:57Think of the desert sky at night.
01:58One great pattern of stars.
02:00Peter bearing the orphanage camel.
02:01I look forward to that.
02:03Who else is going on the trip besides us?
02:04Well, there'll be a group of scientists, of course, and experts.
02:07Oh, and our man from this country will be a fellow called Stuart from the London Institute of Geophysical Studies.
02:12I wonder what we'll find in the desert.
02:15Sand.
02:27John?
02:28Yes?
02:29We've got the latest report on Keeler.
02:30Oh, what is it?
02:31I'm afraid he's still on the run.
02:33Pretty young Barry couldn't have brought him back to London.
02:35He had a jolly good father, didn't he?
02:36Well, we've more or less smashed up his organisation.
02:38As long as he's kept on the move, he'll find it almost impossible to keep in touch with his agents.
02:44And we've contacted the World Police.
02:45I shall feel a great deal happier when we get hold of those radio stations and tracking stations of you.
02:49The trouble is, they're lying low for the moment.
02:52If only they were in action, we could trace them by radio location.
02:57Wait a minute.
02:59Get me Duncan and Chalice.
03:01What do you want them for?
03:01Oh, I've got an idea, John, and I think it may do the trick.
03:05May I try?
03:06By all means.
03:08Dr. Rickover.
03:09Oh, yeah.
03:10I also want to wear my chalice.
03:12Ah, there you are.
03:13You remember Dr. Rickover.
03:15He's just returned from the States.
03:16Yes, hello.
03:17No, I'll come straight to the point.
03:19As you know, the invaders may attack us at any minute, and we've got to be ready for them when they do.
03:24Well, if we're going to defend ourselves with any hope of success, the first thing we must do is find and dispose of these transmitting centers which Keillor and his lot are still running.
03:32Well, it occurs to me that we might trap these deflection centers into opening up by pretending that an attack was about to take place.
03:40I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're getting at.
03:42Our one chance of running these people to ground is to catch them when they're transmitting.
03:46Well, they've certainly got radar and tracking stations.
03:49Would it be possible to put out false signals, to give the impression that the invaders were landing or attacking us in some way?
03:58Well, yes, that should be quite possible.
04:00Yes, I should think so.
04:02I'll put it to the research group and let you have their recommendations as quickly as possible.
04:06Please.
04:06As quick as ever you can.
04:08Okie doke.
04:08Come on, let's make a move.
04:10I'll love it.
04:14Get me Abernethy Observatory.
04:19Abernethy Observatory.
04:29Baranov speaking.
04:31Murray here, from Dunstable.
04:33Professor, we have a plan for exposing keyless transmitters.
04:38And we shall need your cooperation in this.
04:49What do you make of it, Peter?
05:02Well, it's a good thing it didn't fall in a populated region.
05:06That crater must be nearly a mile across.
05:08How far away are we?
05:10Well, as far as I can judge, in this distance, about five miles, I should think.
05:13Right.
05:15I don't know.
05:16What is it?
05:18What does this remind you of anything?
05:20Should it?
05:21Yes, it should.
05:22Sorry to stardle you.
05:23Stuart, London Institute, Geophysical Studies.
05:26Oh, Peter Barry, UK Television.
05:28Hello.
05:28My name's Diana Winters.
05:30Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
05:31What were you going to say about this?
05:32You said it reminded you of something.
05:34Yes, I wish I could remember what it was.
05:36Ever seen the aftermath of a small atomic explosion?
05:39Um, well, yes.
05:40In Woomera, we saw a missile that went out of control and crashed there.
05:43It went to where it exploded afterwards.
05:45The ground was fused like glass for miles around.
05:48You get that with an atomic explosion, don't you?
05:49That's right.
05:51You know, I wish I could get a closer look.
05:53I'd like to see if there's any wreckage down there.
05:55I'm afraid you can't get any closer without protective clothing.
05:58I've been as near as we dare.
05:59Did you find any wreckage?
06:01No.
06:02There's a very high rate of radioactivity, though.
06:05Really?
06:06I wonder if any of these local Arabs saw it crash.
06:09I'd like to get a first-hand account.
06:11Well, let's ask one of them.
06:12I'd like to find out a bit more of what's been going on here myself.
06:14Do you speak Arabic?
06:15Oh, not much.
06:16Let's hope one of them speaks English.
06:19All right, don't worry.
06:20He's not going to run away.
06:21I'm not going to run away.
06:47Well, can you tell us what happened?
06:58We were encamped here on the Jebel,
07:00and a great light, like the sun, appeared in the sky.
07:05And the cloud rose to a great height,
07:08blinding us with its terrible light.
07:11We thought the end of the world had come.
07:13How long did the cloud last?
07:15For many hours, until by Allah's mercy it went away.
07:20Then, with a great fear upon us,
07:23we journeyed to where the cloud had been.
07:26We marched many days to the east,
07:29and from afar we saw the ground burnt,
07:33as in a great fire,
07:35and a hole, like a great dish, lay in the desert.
07:41And our fear was greater than ever,
07:43for at night it glowed like the embers of a fire in our encampment.
07:48Look, have you had any visitors around here in the past few months?
07:56Some people came looking for oil.
07:58Oil?
07:59But there's no oil anywhere near this area.
08:03What sort of machinery did they have with them?
08:05They brought with them many strange things.
08:08Drills,
08:09engines that made a loud noise,
08:12tractors.
08:14They worked many days very hard,
08:16but they found no oil,
08:19and so went away.
08:20Did you see what they were doing?
08:22No.
08:23They warned us not to go near where they had been working,
08:27for they said the ground was a curse,
08:30and evil would fall on any man who ventured near.
08:33But we did see a tall tower from afar.
08:37How many men were in the party?
08:40Twelve, I think.
08:42Can you describe any of them?
08:45Their leader was a tall, strong man,
08:49with fair hair and beard,
08:52and a scar over his left eye.
08:58Professor Baranov!
08:59Well, the world leaders have agreed on the plan.
09:06All the leaders of the nations
09:08are talking to their peoples.
09:10The peoples on their way back to the shelters.
09:14This must be the biggest mass deception ever.
09:17Yes.
09:17I only hope people like Keeler find it convincing.
09:20I'm not altogether convinced about the plan, though.
09:23When do we start?
09:24In a few moments' time.
09:26We can cancel the whole thing if you want to, John.
09:28No, no, we're committed now.
09:29We must go through with it.
09:30There's one thing worries me more than anything else, though.
09:32What's that?
09:34Suppose the invaders choose this moment
09:36for a real attack.
09:37Sir John, it's working.
09:38Yes?
09:39That was Bonn.
09:40They've arrested a member in Germany.
09:42He's been running one of their scanning systems for six months.
09:44Good, good.
09:45Oh, there's a report here for France, too.
09:47A chap has been arrested
09:48in Marseille with a long-range tremitter.
09:51They've got the first deflection centre in the state, sir.
09:54Springfield, Ohio.
09:58Russia.
10:04Italy.
10:07Brazil.
10:11India.
10:15The port's appalling here, John.
10:17Sixteen deflection centres are counted for
10:20and more coming in every moment.
10:22Here, what's this?
10:23They've found Keeler's place.
10:25Where?
10:26We hardly credit it.
10:28Toddington, not five miles from here.
10:30He's got a nerve.
10:31Doctor, just nerve.
10:32How long before the centres have been told to fire?
10:34Fifteen minutes.
10:35None of the people at the firing sites
10:37is in on the secret, of course.
10:39As far as they're concerned,
10:40this is the real thing.
10:41How do we stop it?
10:42By sending out the code word.
10:44The whole operation is then halted.
10:46Who's in charge of all this?
10:48Professor Baranov at Abernathy.
10:50I don't care what you say, I've got to see the Prime Minister.
11:16What are you doing here?
11:17I'm sorry, sir.
11:18This is a matter of the utmost importance.
11:20I must see the Prime Minister.
11:21All right, come on.
11:22Yes, Captain Wade, what is it?
11:23Sir, we have reasons to believe
11:25that the evidence given
11:25of the invaders landing in the Nefu Desert was faked.
11:28Faked?
11:29It's true, sir.
11:29The impact in the desert was faked.
11:31So, just a minute.
11:31What are you talking about, and who is this?
11:32This is Mr Stewart, Geophysical Institute.
11:35He and Mr Barry have just returned from the Nefu Desert.
11:38They contacted me immediately.
11:40They've got some rather startling news, sir.
11:42What is it about?
11:43Why?
11:44Prime Minister, as you're well aware,
11:46the invaders are supposed to have crashed in the Nefu Desert.
11:49The impact area there, however, the crater,
11:51bears a marked resemblance to that of a small atomic explosion.
11:54Ramsey, do you know anything about this?
11:56There's nothing strange about that.
11:58The crater was probably made
12:00by the French government's previous atomic experimental programme.
12:03But, Dr Ramsey,
12:04we understood the invaders crashed in the Nefu Desert.
12:07Then, obviously, our calculations
12:09were completely put out
12:10by interference from keyless transmitters.
12:12Well, in that case, where are the invaders now?
12:14Where did they crash?
12:14Did they crash at all?
12:15What's going on?
12:16There's another strange thing, sir.
12:17I don't understand.
12:18Why did nobody else suspect what I did?
12:20There were plenty of other experts out there.
12:22Brissard, Webber, Morgan.
12:23You think one of them would have tumbled to it at once.
12:25Dr Ramsey,
12:26hasn't anyone reported any of this to you?
12:29No, they wouldn't report it to me.
12:31They will have told Professor Baranough.
12:32No, just a minute.
12:34What exactly led you to believe
12:35that all these were faked?
12:36Mr Barry,
12:36I think you'd better explain to the Prime Minister
12:38about your interview with the Arab,
12:40the Bedouin chief.
12:41Very well.
12:42Well, Prime Minister,
12:43in the course of the interview
12:44I had with this Bedouin chief,
12:46he told us that a party of scientists
12:48led by Professor Baranough,
12:50and including Weber, Morgan and Brissard,
12:52came through that area several months before
12:54on what was supposed to be
12:55an oil-finding expedition.
12:57That's a proven fact, sir.
12:58There's no oil to be found out there.
13:00Judging by the description of their equipment,
13:01they were not erecting an oil rig,
13:03but a tower for an atomic bomb.
13:05Why didn't you speak to a research group about this?
13:08Well, this is ridiculous.
13:09What would they be doing in the desert?
13:11I'm surprised that someone of your intelligence
13:12could leave such a fairy story
13:14from a local tribesman.
13:15If I might explain, sir.
13:17Professor Baranough, in my opinion...
13:18Nonsense.
13:19Why would he do it?
13:20Just a minute, Ramsey.
13:20I'd like to hear what Mr Stewart has to say.
13:23Supposing the invaders were friendly,
13:25supposing they didn't intend to land,
13:26at least not before establishing contact.
13:28Suppose Baranough faked the signals
13:30from the invaders.
13:31Well, sirs, to make us believe
13:32they were about to attack
13:33and cause us to open fire...
13:35Exactly.
13:35But why should he?
13:36What would he hope to gain by it?
13:38Devastation.
13:39Destruction on a wide scale.
13:41If the invaders could be made to attack.
13:43That's right.
13:43I see.
13:45Captain Wade, lay on transport.
13:47Get up to Abernethy at once.
13:48Question Baranough and find out if this is true.
13:50I want Baranough brought back here immediately.
13:52Yes, sir.
13:53Prime Minister, would you mind if I went with Captain Wade?
13:55Not at all.
13:56I'll see you later.
13:56Yeah.
13:57What I can't understand is
13:58what does earth has happened to the invaders?
14:00Where are they?
14:02Ramsey, can you answer that?
14:03I'm afraid I can't, sir.
14:05I don't think anyone else can either.
14:07Ramsey, are you all right?
14:08Yes.
14:09Yes.
14:09Yes, I'm fine.
14:11John, if it's true about Baranough,
14:14he's in charge of communications at Abernethy.
14:17Yes, but Rickover's up there with him too.
14:18I think Dr. Ramsey should go and assume control there.
14:22All right.
14:23Will you go, Ramsey?
14:23Yes, of course.
14:24I'll go right away.
14:25How much longer to blast off?
14:27Another 15 minutes.
14:29Then our plan seems to have worked.
14:31We'd better stop the firing.
14:32Yes.
14:33Give me line one, will you?
14:35Hello?
14:36Control room here.
14:38Put out code word anvil at once.
14:41Yes, at once.
14:43Well, John, it looks as if we've got the way.
14:46Yes, thank goodness the invaders didn't choose now to attack.
14:49I don't know who they are or where they come from,
14:51but I'm beginning to understand their mental processes.
14:54And it's quite clear that their science is far in advance
14:57of anything we can even imagine.
14:58Their sciences, yes.
15:00And possibly their mental powers, too.
15:03I wonder if Baranough is under their influence in some way
15:07and no longer responsible for his own actions.
15:10Why Baranough?
15:12Why not one of us?
15:18Why not one of us?
15:33Professor Baranough?
15:34Yes.
15:35May I...
15:36Hello, Mr. Byr.
15:37What are you doing here?
15:38Just a moment, please.
15:39May I ask you a question?
15:40Please.
15:41Did you fake the impact of the invaders in the Nefud Desert
15:43by using a small atomic explosion?
15:47Yes.
15:48Now, wait a moment, what's all about you?
15:49It will all become clear in a moment.
15:53Why did you do it, Professor?
15:55Because I was told to do so.
15:58By Keeler?
15:58No.
16:00By the Soviet Union?
16:02No.
16:03By the invaders?
16:04No, by me.
16:07The invaders don't exist, Mr. Barry.
16:10What? What are you talking about?
16:13They don't exist.
16:15They were invented.
16:18Invented.
16:21But how? Why?
16:23For many thousands of years, man has waged war.
16:27While his weapons were into spears and clubs,
16:30they really didn't matter so very much.
16:32Even when he progressed to the cannon and the machine gun,
16:35his power to kill remained limited.
16:37But now man possesses the power and knowledge
16:39to destroy himself completely.
16:42You see, scientists became tired of watching the politicians
16:44abuse this power which we provided them with.
16:47And because of this abuse,
16:49of seeing a world full of destruction, hatred and fear...
16:52And so we got together.
16:54Nine months ago, there was a conference
16:55of the world's astronomers and scientists.
16:57We decided that the only way to bring the world to its senses...
17:01The only way...
17:03The only way to bring the world,
17:05the entire world to its senses,
17:06was to create an outer danger
17:09against which the whole world would unite.
17:11How many of you were involved in this?
17:15Nearly every major scientist.
17:17We had to be, you see, in order to get away with it.
17:20The machinery for faking the signals is complex.
17:23Both to build and to operate.
17:25In order to make sure that deception was complete,
17:28we had to arrange to supply
17:30every observatory,
17:32every control center,
17:34every firing site in the whole world
17:37with right information
17:39at right time.
17:41You almost succeeded.
17:43Almost.
17:44We made one mistake.
17:46What was that?
17:46We allowed Stuart to go to the desert
17:48with the research group.
17:49Our man dropped out and Stuart took his place.
17:54But I don't understand.
17:56Dr. Ramsey,
17:57how did you create Object Z?
18:00We faked the star charts.
18:02But we saw them.
18:03Millions of people saw them in the sky.
18:05Of course you did.
18:06But we put them there.
18:08We also created the beings
18:09that you saw on your television screens.
18:11But how?
18:11It was not difficult to put Sputnik into orbit
18:14once we had convinced politicians
18:16that invaders are approaching.
18:18They gave us every facility, if you remember.
18:20They even put the world's missile
18:22and nuclear bases at our disposal.
18:23But Object Z came nearer.
18:25How did you make it increase in size?
18:28Simply because an object increases in size.
18:30It doesn't necessarily mean
18:31that it's coming nearer.
18:33We simply increase the cloud of the sodium vapor.
18:36By gradually releasing it from the satellite.
18:39Exactly.
18:41Do you realize what you've done?
18:43Yes, we've done what we set out to do.
18:45What was that to frighten the whole world to death?
18:48People have died because of you, Ramsey.
18:50People have taken their lives
18:52because they couldn't face what was coming.
18:53Have you thought of that?
18:54Have you thought of the money
18:55wasted on missiles and shelters?
18:58Of the millions of people living in terror?
19:00Yes, we've thought of all those things.
19:02What do you think it's been like for us?
19:03The few of us that were in the secret.
19:05Do you think it's been easy for us?
19:06How can a man of your intelligence,
19:09how can you justify what you've done?
19:16Six months of fear
19:17or an eternity living in terror of war?
19:21Which is better?
19:22Oh, no.
19:24The world has changed so much in the last six months.
19:28The great powers have shared their secrets,
19:31they've scrapped their weapons,
19:33and they've worked and fought together
19:35against a common enemy.
19:37We've had to pay a high price for that,
19:39but I don't think it was too high.
19:41You think not?
19:43I wonder how you're ever going to live with yourself.
19:52Gentlemen,
19:53you're all under arrest.
19:55Yes, yes, thank you, Captain Wade.
20:03Inform world government at once, will you?
20:05And see that all the other scientists
20:06are rounded up immediately.
20:08Yes, goodbye.
20:10It's unbelievable, John.
20:12These men have made fools of us all.
20:17Yes,
20:18I shall have to broadcast to the nation
20:20in a few moments.
20:22You mean you're going to tell them the truth?
20:24Oh, no.
20:26No, we shall just tell them the invaders have gone away
20:28and they can all go back to their homes.
20:31We can never tell them the truth.
20:32Never?
20:33It wouldn't do to let them know
20:34that we'd all been made fools of, would we?
20:37No, I suppose not.
20:38What's going to happen to them, sir?
20:40All those other men?
20:41Oh, they'll come up for trial
20:42before the world government, of course.
20:44The proceedings will have to be held in secret, of course.
20:47Rickover, Morgan, Weber, Brissot, Branov.
20:53The courts are going to have their hands full.
20:55Yes.
20:56I don't envy the Americans their task
20:58of keeping their proceedings secret.
21:00No problem for the Russians, of course.
21:02It seems that scientists are going to be in short supply.
21:05You seem to be the only one left, Stuart.
21:06Duncan and Chalice were not involved, sir.
21:08No.
21:10Ramsey seems to have hoodwinked them
21:11just as he did all of us.
21:15But, Dr. Ramsey,
21:17you must have known
21:18that you couldn't get away with this forever.
21:20I was aware of that, Robert,
21:22but I think that it was worth it.
21:24We now have a unified world
21:25and a better place to live in.
21:27Dr. Ramsey,
21:28do you really think the world
21:29is going to be a very different place?
21:32Well, I hope that the world
21:33has learned its lesson
21:34and that there'll never be war again.
21:37You'll probably get married
21:38and have children.
21:40Now you'll be able to see their lives
21:41stretching out into the future.
21:43And who knows, Robert?
21:45Perhaps one day
21:46you'll even become Astronomer Royal.
21:49Would you gentlemen like to get your coats?
21:52I have a transport waiting outside.
21:53By who's this?
21:54Dr. Ramsey, it's Field.
21:55Well, I'll take that.
21:56Who is this?
22:00Harvard?
22:01Well, it's Captain Wade here,
22:03British security.
22:04Oh, I see, sir.
22:06Yes, well, in that case...
22:08Dr. Ramsey, you'd better answer this.
22:11Well, I'm sorry, I must tell you.
22:13Excuse me, just could you keep quiet
22:18just for a minute, please?
22:19Yes.
22:22What?
22:24I see.
22:32Well, that was Harvard.
22:34They've been conferring with Mount Balamar.
22:37They've discovered another object.
22:39It's heading straight for us.
22:42Now, Ramsey, this isn't another of your...
22:43No!
22:44This time it's real.
22:46No!
22:46No!
22:56No!
23:05It's been a lot!
23:07No!
23:07No!
23:10No!
23:18No!
23:19No!
23:20No!
