00:00:00I
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29Sounds like a jet, doesn't it?
00:01:31That's no jet.
00:01:33Maggie, look!
00:01:35What is it?
00:01:36Down! Get down!
00:01:38Go!
00:01:39Maggie!
00:01:40Maggie!
00:01:47Get inside!
00:01:48Inside!
00:01:50Inside!
00:01:51Inside!
00:01:59Maggie!
00:02:05Maggie!
00:02:07I'm all right, Dad.
00:02:09We saw it coming out of the sky.
00:02:11It was glowing.
00:02:11You can stay over there.
00:02:12Keep away from the windows.
00:02:13Maggie!
00:02:16It's probably a meteor, isn't it?
00:02:19That's what it is.
00:02:20Dad, don't go up there.
00:02:22Please, Dad, don't go up there.
00:02:22Please, Dad, don't go up there.
00:02:23Get over there!
00:02:24Is the telephone still on?
00:02:25Call the police.
00:02:26She's under PHONEX.
00:02:28Look, we'll see.
00:02:30Move!
00:02:38Oh, my God.
00:02:40Oh, my God.
00:02:41A strike.
00:02:43What's this?
00:02:45Oh, my God.
00:02:46Oh, my God.
00:02:46Oh, my God.
00:02:48All right.
00:02:49Will you all please return to your home?
00:03:17Your only hampering operation is by crowding the street. Please return to your home.
00:03:22Please get back out of the road, onto the pavement please.
00:03:26Come along now please. Please return to your home.
00:03:47Get back. Keep the lane clear. Right back please. Right back.
00:04:02Keep clear. Keep clear.
00:04:08All right.
00:04:28You'll be all right then. Take care of you.
00:04:30Okay George, just have a look at you.
00:04:32Oh, don't you start fussing too. I could singe, that's all.
00:04:36It's still too hot to put water on. It could do with another pump.
00:04:40It should be heavily green now.
00:04:42What's all this about, Dick?
00:04:44Look, it's practically anything.
00:04:46The object was first sighted at about 9.15 this evening, and its approach was widely observed over the southern counties.
00:05:07A statement just issued by the Home Office stresses that there is no general danger.
00:05:13Members of the public, however, are warned to stay away from the area.
00:05:18I will repeat that.
00:05:23The Home Office stresses that there's no immediate danger.
00:05:25Do you realize what you'll have to face if this turns out to be a disaster, Quatermass?
00:05:28How much further?
00:05:29Quatermass, I'm talking to you.
00:05:31For the last 20 miles, I've been painfully aware of that.
00:05:34Well, then answer, man. How did it happen? What went wrong?
00:05:36For the first time in the history of the world, man has sent a rocket 1500 miles into space.
00:05:40You can't expect such an experiment to be perfect.
00:05:43Well, you must have had some idea.
00:05:44I'm a scientist, not a fortune teller, who predicts what will happen.
00:05:47Well, you had instruments, radio contact.
00:05:49We lost it for over 57 hours, sir.
00:05:51It broke loose, and we don't even know how far it's been.
00:05:53It had no further contact even when it returned to the orbit.
00:05:55Yet you brought it down by your own control.
00:05:57Well, that's something to tell your ministry.
00:05:59Quatermass set it up, and he brought it back.
00:06:01Please, oh, please.
00:06:03Couldn't you pick some other time for this?
00:06:04I'm sorry, Mrs. Croon.
00:06:05I happen to be concerned with the Ministry of Defense.
00:06:08I'm not a civil servant. I'm a doctor, and I happen to be concerned with three men.
00:06:11The three men who are in that rocket.
00:06:13Oakley Green. This is it.
00:06:15Certainly no secret.
00:06:22Sorry, no one at our class this point.
00:06:24All right, Major. Ministry of Defense.
00:06:26Hey, yes, sir. All right there, open it up.
00:06:28All right there, open it up.
00:06:29All right there, open it up.
00:06:44Hey, sorry. Miss, you must keep back.
00:06:46Oi, Miss. Hey, just a minute, please. Miss.
00:06:50Hi, hi. Chasing the girls again.
00:06:53Oh, you think it was a bank holiday the way they come flocking out?
00:06:56I'd like a flock home.
00:06:58You stay put, my lad, until that thing cools off.
00:07:00Or blows up.
00:07:01Now, don't start that story going around. They've said it's not a bomb.
00:07:04But why can't we put water on it?
00:07:06Listen, Charlie, we've had instructions.
00:07:08Don't ask me why, because they didn't tell us.
00:07:10Hey, hey, just a minute.
00:07:13Mr. Blake, Minister of Defense.
00:07:15I'll get the inspector.
00:07:16Come on.
00:07:26Try and get through, little Marsh.
00:07:28Watch out.
00:07:29Give me a temperature reading.
00:07:33Why don't you wait in the car, Judith?
00:07:35It's funny. It looks exactly the same.
00:07:38Yet it's been... who knows how far.
00:07:42There isn't a word.
00:07:52Q1, Q1.
00:07:53This is Marsh.
00:07:54Hello, Karun, Green, Reichenheim.
00:07:57You receive me.
00:07:58Over.
00:08:01Keep trying.
00:08:02Mr. Blake.
00:08:03I'm quite a mess.
00:08:04I'll be in charge from here on, Inspector.
00:08:05Can't say I'm sorry about that.
00:08:06What's the next move?
00:08:07We can't do anything right now.
00:08:08Not until that cools off.
00:08:10How long will that be, sir?
00:08:11I would say three or four hours, at least.
00:08:13You won.
00:08:14You won.
00:08:15This is Marsh.
00:08:16Do you hear me?
00:08:17Do you hear me?
00:08:18Over.
00:08:19Leave it there for four hours.
00:08:20I suppose you'd like me to open it up right now, huh?
00:08:22One blast of air in against that heated incinerate them.
00:08:25Some reporters have nothing, sir.
00:08:26They'd like some facts.
00:08:27They'll get some later.
00:08:28They'll get some now.
00:08:29Bring them on, Major.
00:08:30Don't you think we ought to find out a few more ourselves first?
00:08:31Bring them on, Major.
00:08:32Are you hearing me, Q1?
00:08:33Are you hearing me?
00:08:34This is Marsh calling Q1.
00:08:36Q1.
00:08:37Over.
00:08:41You know, if I ever gave them all the facts, you'd find one or two of them difficult to explain.
00:08:51Don't try and drag me through the mud, Blake.
00:08:53You might splash a little bit on yourself, you and your committee.
00:08:55You deliberately launched that rocket without waiting for official sanction.
00:08:58If the whole world waited for official sanction, it'd be standing still.
00:09:02You took too long.
00:09:03I made my own decision.
00:09:04To gamble with three men's lives.
00:09:05Every experiment is a gamble.
00:09:06The unknown is always a risk.
00:09:08They should know that.
00:09:09Did she know that?
00:09:10That woman over there waiting, hoping and praying.
00:09:12It's dropped another hundred degrees since we arrived.
00:09:14Still got a long way to go.
00:09:15Let's have that insulation lining.
00:09:17Let's hope it didn't.
00:09:18Because if it did, Q1, and those three men in there are dead or alive, they'll be heroes.
00:09:22Let me tell you something, Blake.
00:09:24They'll fire the imagination so that there'll be a hundred men begging for the same privilege
00:09:28when we launch the second rocket.
00:09:30You can't stop it now.
00:09:31You mean I can't stop you now?
00:09:33That's right.
00:09:36This is Marsh calling Q1.
00:09:37Marsh calling Q1.
00:09:38Do you hear me?
00:09:39Do you hear me?
00:09:40Over.
00:09:46There's nothing, sir.
00:09:47Nothing, Quatermiss.
00:09:48You know what you've done.
00:09:49I launched it and I brought it back.
00:09:50That's quite an achievement, I think.
00:09:52And those three men in there...
00:09:53What?
00:09:54What is it, Marsh?
00:09:55Something came through.
00:09:59Pull up.
00:10:00Volume, pull up.
00:10:03Tapping.
00:10:04Coming from inside.
00:10:05By the hull, near the transmitter.
00:10:08Q1, Q1.
00:10:09Green.
00:10:10Reichenheim.
00:10:11Karun.
00:10:12This is Quatermiss.
00:10:13Quatermiss.
00:10:14We can hear you.
00:10:15Can you hear us?
00:10:16Over.
00:10:17Over.
00:10:27Q1, Q1.
00:10:28Can you hear me?
00:10:29You've landed in England.
00:10:30We're here, not 50 yards from you.
00:10:32Are you all right?
00:10:33Over.
00:10:34Tapping has stopped.
00:10:35We can't wait.
00:10:36We've got to get them out of there now.
00:10:37Bring me the fire chief.
00:10:38Right away, sir.
00:10:39Set the remote control.
00:10:40You know what will happen if we open that rocket door now?
00:10:41We've got to take that risk.
00:10:42We know one of them is alive in there.
00:10:43In an hour, he may not be.
00:10:44But you said that would incinerate them.
00:10:45You can't do a thing like that.
00:10:46Don't tell me what I can do.
00:10:47That shell temperature is still 300 degrees.
00:10:48All right.
00:10:49What would you suggest?
00:10:50Wait till it's absolutely safe and then bring them out?
00:10:51Dead?
00:10:52Door control set, sir.
00:10:53Hold it.
00:10:54Where's that fire chief?
00:10:55Get an ambulance moved in.
00:10:56Stand by.
00:10:57Ambulance.
00:10:58You want me, sir?
00:10:59Yes.
00:11:00Round up every man piece of machinery you've got.
00:11:01Move it in there as close as possible.
00:11:02We're going to open the rocket door from here by remote control.
00:11:05When the door opens, when I give you the signal I want every hole in the door.
00:11:08you want me sir yes round up every man piece of machinery you've got move it in there as close
00:11:15as possible we're going to open the rocket door from here by remote control when the door opens
00:11:20when i give you the signal i want every hose turned full force around that entrance now you
00:11:24got it well that thing's still as hot as bases i don't know you start pumping water don't argue
00:11:28with me i know what i'm doing i hope so sir major sir i want this whole field cleared when they come
00:11:35out of the rocket i want absolutely no one on the field you understand no one don't worry sir
00:11:40there's someone alive in there we don't have a condition they'll be in so you better get
00:11:56everything out oxygen morphine glucose
00:12:05well now it's up to you keep your eye on me i'll give you the signal
00:12:12all set set sir start it up let me know when you're minus 10 to pressure right sir

00:13:15I found the water.
00:13:45It's Mr. Karun.
00:13:55Victor, Victor.
00:13:56Get him into the others.
00:13:58What about the others?
00:13:59Green.
00:14:00I can hide.
00:14:01Come on, help yourself.
00:14:06The access chamber to the motors.
00:14:19Quick, the manual control.
00:14:24Where are the others for?
00:14:27Think it worked?
00:14:28It's free, sir.
00:14:31It's free, sir.
00:14:52They're not there.
00:14:53Not them.
00:14:54What do you mean they're not there?
00:14:55I mean they're not in the rocket.
00:14:56Either one of them.
00:14:57That's impossible.
00:14:58He's right, sir.
00:14:59They're gone.
00:15:00They're empty.
00:15:01They're still linked.
00:15:02Helmets are still attached, but they're empty.
00:15:05How could they possibly have gone out?
00:15:08If I knew that, I wouldn't be wasting my time trying to find out.
00:15:11Go bring the camera down.
00:15:13Do you think the door opened and they were swept away?
00:15:15If the door had opened, it would be registered here.
00:15:18No, that door has not been opened.
00:15:20Until now.
00:15:25What is it you're trying to tell me?
00:15:26I'm not trying to tell you anything.
00:15:28I'll let the camera do that.
00:15:30I'm afraid the camera won't tell us anything.
00:15:49Are they all right?
00:15:50Something's happened.
00:15:51They're not there.
00:15:56Victor.
00:15:58Where's Green?
00:15:59Where's Reichenheim?
00:16:00What happened?
00:16:01Please.
00:16:02Not now.
00:16:03Please.
00:16:04He's in no condition to talk.
00:16:06He's intrusive here in a state of shock.
00:16:07He must be treated.
00:16:08He's got to talk first.
00:16:09He's got to tell me what happened.
00:16:10Gordon.
00:16:11What is it, Victor?
00:16:12What is it?
00:16:13What is it?
00:16:14What is it?
00:16:15What is it?
00:16:16What is it?
00:16:17What is it?
00:16:37He said help me.
00:16:38That's all he said.
00:16:41Help me.
00:16:47Let's go.
00:17:17Did you get it?
00:17:24Yes, sir.
00:17:25Good.
00:17:47All right, so it doesn't make me any prettier, but I got a lunch date with the wife.
00:17:54Any special reason?
00:17:55Uh-huh.
00:17:56Our favourite day of the month.
00:17:57Payday.
00:17:58Oh, I'm a big man on payday.
00:18:01Yes, sir.
00:18:02See the papers?
00:18:05Quite a mess.
00:18:06They're stirring it up with the police.
00:18:09How dare we take fingerprints from a sick man.
00:18:11There's nothing else I could do.
00:18:12He couldn't talk, couldn't answer any questions.
00:18:15Thought we might as well get his prints.
00:18:17You never know.
00:18:18No, you never know.
00:18:20He's a weird one, all right.
00:18:22The skin.
00:18:23It's just like shaking hands with a piece of ice.
00:18:27Sergeant, there's no way to talk about a public hero.
00:18:31Come in.
00:18:34And Mr. Quatermass, I see you, sir.
00:18:36Well, speaking of public heroes, all right, we'll leave him in.
00:18:40Yes, sir.
00:18:41Quatermass, eh?
00:18:43This is what's known as penetrating into enemy territory.
00:18:46Inspector Lomax.
00:18:53I'm Lomax.
00:18:54This is Sergeant Best.
00:18:55Won't you sit down?
00:18:55I'll come direct to the point, Inspector.
00:18:57I will not have your men coming into my research center
00:19:00and treating Victor Caroon as though he were a pathological criminal.
00:19:02Nobody will.
00:19:03He's a sick man, Inspector.
00:19:04He's been through an ordeal that very few men could survive.
00:19:07Two men didn't survive it, did they, Mr. Quatermass?
00:19:10What exactly do you mean by that?
00:19:12I wish you'd sit down.
00:19:13If I sit and you stand, I'm being rude.
00:19:15I'd like you to sit down.
00:19:20You see, Mr. Quatermass, I'm an old-fashioned sort of chap.
00:19:23I don't know much about rockets or traveling into space.
00:19:25I don't read science fiction.
00:19:27I'm a plain, simple Bible man.
00:19:29I have a routine mind and have to do routine things.
00:19:32Such as fingerprinting an unconscious man.
00:19:34When three men take off in a rocket and only one comes back,
00:19:37in our reckoning, that leaves minus two.
00:19:40And minus two puts us in the embarrassing position
00:19:42of having to investigate plus one.
00:19:43Whether he's conscious, unconscious, or a gibbering idiot.
00:19:46Fine.
00:19:47I think I can save you a lot of time, Inspector,
00:19:49with your so-called investigation.
00:19:52I have here the particulars on all three members of the crew.
00:19:55Charles Green, Ludwig Reichenheim, Victor Caroon.
00:19:59You'll find everything there, Inspector.
00:20:01Medical histories, personal description,
00:20:03academic achievements, professional activities,
00:20:06politics, and even fingerprints.
00:20:07Oh, that's very thoughtful of you.
00:20:09There's only one investigation likely to serve
00:20:11any good purpose in this situation, Inspector.
00:20:14That's a scientific one.
00:20:20I'm sure even you will agree that between us,
00:20:23I'm the best qualified for that assignment.
00:20:25Good day, Inspector.
00:20:26Sergeant.
00:20:28Well, it might almost say we've been given a rocket.
00:20:32Yes, sir.
00:20:37It's absolutely unbelievable.
00:20:45It just isn't clinically possible
00:20:47that his heart should respond like this.
00:20:49Pulse, blood pressure, the same.
00:20:51Impossibly low.
00:20:53He shouldn't be alive, but he is.
00:20:55Can't you do something to increase the metabolic rate?
00:20:57Tried everything.
00:20:58No effect.
00:20:59I never knew pressure effects to last this long.
00:21:01Oh, these aren't just pressure effects.
00:21:03It doesn't only his face.
00:21:05Take a look at his skin.
00:21:06Anyway, here, out of the shoulder.
00:21:09Feel it.
00:21:12Swollen.
00:21:13Coarsened.
00:21:13Yes, and that's not all, either.
00:21:15Look at the contour of the face.
00:21:19You mean the bone structure?
00:21:20Yes, I could be wrong about a limb,
00:21:22but not about the shape of the bones.
00:21:24There's been a change.
00:21:25I'm convinced of that.
00:21:29Is he any better?
00:21:30He's coming along fine.
00:21:32If only he'd say something.
00:21:35Give us a sign that he's thinking,
00:21:37that he knows we're here.
00:21:38He knows, Judith.
00:21:39He knows we're trying to help him.
00:21:41What is happening to him?
00:21:43Well, that's what we're trying to find out.
00:21:44Shouldn't he be in a hospital?
00:21:48That's exactly where he should be.
00:21:50Briscoe.
00:21:51I can't take this responsibility any longer.
00:21:53I haven't got the proper equipment here to do the right tests.
00:21:55He belongs in a hospital.
00:21:56I suppose you're right.
00:22:02I suppose you're both right.
00:22:04He does belong in a hospital.
00:22:08But can a hospital do more than you can do?
00:22:10Would a hospital know what goes on out there in space,
00:22:14on the other side of the air?
00:22:15There's a whole new world out there,
00:22:17a wilderness, uncharted.
00:22:18And he's been there and come back.
00:22:22He's got the map.
00:22:24Unlock his mind for me, Briscoe, and find it.
00:22:26I know you can do it.
00:22:26It isn't just a question of...
00:22:27I know the strain and tension you've been under,
00:22:29but to stop now when we're so close,
00:22:32on the brink of something tremendous,
00:22:33the very fringe of some great discovery,
00:22:35we can't stop now, Briscoe.
00:22:37Besides, it's our only chance to learn what happened to the others.
00:22:40At a hospital, you have all the most modern hospital...
00:22:42Would a hospital know how to deal with a man
00:22:44who's been exposed to rocket radiation?
00:22:46In his bloodstream, there was...
00:22:47Or the effects of pressure at 1,500 miles up.
00:22:50During flight training, he took seven times the force of gravity
00:22:52without even a headache to show up.
00:22:53We know that.
00:22:54But would a hospital know it?
00:23:07Well, I'll try another transfusion and see if that'll help.
00:23:14Thanks.
00:23:16You'll stay with him, won't you, Judy?
00:23:19He needs you.
00:23:30Victor.
00:23:37I think we'll move him into the office.
00:23:54We can make him more comfortable in there.
00:23:56Would you help me, please?
00:23:57Of course.
00:23:59Thank you for all you're doing, Gordon.
00:24:01I only wish I could do more.
00:24:07The solution is elementary, my dear inspector.
00:24:15Victor Caroon killed the two men, removed their precious suits,
00:24:18pushed their bodies out into space,
00:24:19and then linked the suits together again.
00:24:21Now, what do you want?
00:24:21Two things.
00:24:22Number one, I want to return these files.
00:24:24Green, Rackenheim, Caroon.
00:24:27Very interesting.
00:24:28Caroon, better.
00:24:28Number two.
00:24:29Well, I want you to give me your solemn word.
00:24:32Well, inspector, I'm a very busy man.
00:24:34Now, look, sir, nobody ever wins a Cold War.
00:24:35One of us had better come over to the other side.
00:24:38If you don't want to come over to mine,
00:24:39I'm not proud, I'll come over to yours.
00:24:41Solemn word about what?
00:24:42That these were Caroon's fingerprints.
00:24:44Of course they were.
00:24:45Everybody in research center gets it fingerprinted.
00:24:48What are you getting at?
00:24:49To be quite honest, I don't quite know, sir.
00:24:52Nothing unusual about these.
00:24:54These are the fingerprints we took off Caroon last night.
00:24:57What about them?
00:24:59Compare them.
00:24:59Is this a joke?
00:25:11This is no joke, sir.
00:25:12The man who took those had his training in the fingerprint section.
00:25:15It's second nature to him.
00:25:18But these prints aren't even...
00:25:20human.
00:25:22Yes.
00:25:24Yes.
00:25:25You found what?
00:25:26I'll be right there.
00:25:28Well, wherever you're going,
00:25:29I might as well keep your company,
00:25:30mightn't I?
00:25:33Very nice of you.
00:25:37I was checking the safety casing on the wiring.
00:25:40Behind there.
00:25:50Can you get at it?
00:25:51No.
00:25:54It's right in the crevice.
00:25:55Hand me the sample spoon for my box.
00:26:21You want any more of this?
00:26:27Yes, sir.
00:26:28Lots.
00:26:29On the left.
00:26:31By the rivet.
00:26:33Want to have a sample for our people?
00:26:35Sure, we'll give you a sample.
00:26:42Briscoe, what do you think it is?
00:26:46I don't want to think.
00:26:46I want to be sure.
00:26:48I've been in this thing all night.
00:26:51Nice to know that stuff's been around the whole time.
00:26:53Howdy, Edlam.
00:26:56Have you got the same bright thoughts that I have?
00:27:02Something happened in here.
00:27:04Something beyond our understanding at the moment.
00:27:08I only knew where to begin.
00:27:10Maybe the film will help.
00:27:11Film?
00:27:12Yes, the lab should have developed it by now.
00:27:14I thought you told me the camera was smashed.
00:27:16It was badly damaged, but I managed to get the film out.
00:27:18Why didn't you tell me?
00:27:19The lab said they didn't know if they could develop it or not.
00:27:21They've got to develop it.
00:27:23You get right down to that laboratory and tell them they've got to develop that film.
00:27:26Yes, sir.
00:27:27And I'll have no delays or excuses.
00:27:28Tell them to get the best processed man in the country.
00:27:30Tell them to get anybody they want, but I've got to have that film.
00:27:33Right, sir.
00:27:35There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:37There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:38There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:39There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:40There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:41There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:42There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:43There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:44There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:45There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:46There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:47There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:48There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:49There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:50There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:51There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:52There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:53There's one premier I don't want to miss.
00:27:54Come on.
00:28:24Come on.
00:28:54It's harmless, it's organic, it's jelly.
00:28:56End of analysis.
00:28:57No definite identification?
00:28:59Well, it might conceivably represent the dead remnants of Celtus, huh?
00:29:02What sort of cell tissue?
00:29:03It could be animal, it could be human.
00:29:06Human?
00:29:07Good, then.
00:29:11Do you know what you're saying?
00:29:13I know what I'm thinking.
00:29:15Are you sure it's not some sort of plant cell?
00:29:19Positive.
00:29:21You mean to say that you're asking me to believe that that is the remains of two human beings?
00:29:26I'm not asking you to believe anything. You asked a question, I answered it.
00:29:32Does she know?
00:29:33No, this is the first trip she's had in nights.
00:29:35What about the police analysts? What do they say?
00:29:38They report through yet.
00:29:40But I don't doubt it would be the same.
00:29:42It's almost beyond human understanding.
00:29:45Some fantastic invisible force converted two men into jelly.
00:29:53Is that the slide?
00:29:54That's the slide.
00:29:56I'm about to call it a day, Equatiamat.
00:29:59Beyond this, I'm a baby now.
00:30:00Gordon!
00:30:01All right, get him up.
00:30:07No, wait a minute.
00:30:09His hand.
00:30:11Another change.
00:30:13Get him back to bed.
00:30:24Look what's happening to his skin.
00:30:26In just the last few moments, I'll go and get him acidity.
00:30:31You've done this to him.
00:30:34He'd have been better off if he'd been killed or stayed out there.
00:30:36Judith.
00:30:37You've destroyed him like you've destroyed everything else you've touched.
00:30:39Destroyed him? I've brought him back. I've saved him.
00:30:41Saved him? For what? For further experiments?
00:30:44I can help him more than you or anyone else can.
00:30:46There's no room for personal feelings and science, Judith.
00:30:49Some of us have a mission.
00:30:50You should be very proud to have a husband who's willing to risk his life for the betterment of the whole world.
00:30:55What world? Your world? The world of Quatermass.
00:30:58I've sent for an ambulance.
00:31:01He's going to the central clinic.
00:31:05All right, Brisco.
00:31:07Send him to the clinic.
00:31:09But I want him to have complete isolation, you understand? Complete isolation.
00:31:13No one is to see him.
00:31:16No one.
00:31:18Until I say so.
00:31:28We've tried three different grades of stock.
00:31:33Developed each one to as high a gamma as possible and still it's made no difference.
00:31:37Look at this. It's grainy and dull.
00:31:39All I want is a print.
00:31:40Well, we don't like any print that isn't up to stand.
00:31:42Is there a picture on it?
00:31:43Oh, there's a picture, all right, but you can see how dull and grainy...
00:31:46I don't care how dull and grainy it is. I must have this now.
00:31:48It could be altitude or an extreme change of temperature or penetration of cosmic rays.
00:31:52Fine, fine. I'll tell him that.
00:31:54Well, I don't know what the old man will say.
00:31:56Listen, you tell your old man that our old man said if he didn't get this print, he'd dynamite the building.
00:32:02I can't tell them in the street this. They'll think I've lost my senses.
00:32:05That's exactly why you must tell them nothing.
00:32:07Now you see why I must have absolute authority to isolate Garun.
00:32:11But every newspaper in town has got a story on him being admitted into the clinic.
00:32:14They'll want to know why and what's happened to him and what's happened to the others.
00:32:16All right, do you want to tell them?
00:32:17Well, not telling them won't stop the panic.
00:32:19What they don't know won't start a panic.
00:32:21Inspector, what about the police analysis?
00:32:23The same, Mr. Blake.
00:32:25What's the next move?
00:32:26Well, we've agreed to isolation. It's the only thing we can do until we know more.
00:32:33Yeah?
00:32:39The phone is ready.
00:32:51All right, but it's having to vote.
00:32:55Do you have to elaborate on both of them?
00:32:57It's a sidestack, and let's do something.
00:33:01Do not count as lights on.
00:33:03You know the Pac-12 owners over there.
00:33:06What have you taken from Soyuz?
00:33:08Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
00:33:10I've been looking for him.
00:33:12The office müs I have been doing.
00:33:13He's been talking my obeysor.
00:33:14I'm feeling in behavior of my family in vehement.
00:33:16See that, Marsh?
00:33:25It works.
00:33:26Yes, sir.
00:33:26What works?
00:33:27Automatic prism.
00:33:28It cuts in the panel reading.
00:34:16Oh, is that all?
00:34:32Once in the observation zone, the camera's geared to cut out at regular intervals.
00:34:35This would be the 0.16 period.
00:34:43That must be why we lost them.
00:34:46Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:35:00Look at that fantastic temperature, Doc.
00:35:02Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:35:16Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:35:20Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:35:20Oh, no, it could have happened.
00:36:48He's in surgery.
00:36:50But I'll get word to him as soon as possible.
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:54What's the name, please?
00:36:56Oh.
00:36:57That's two Ts.
00:36:59Uh-huh.
00:37:01Uh-huh.
00:37:03Uh-huh.
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:05I'll see if he gets it.
00:37:06Yes.
00:37:09Sorry, miss.
00:37:10The visiting hours are over.
00:37:12I just wanted to know how my husband is.
00:37:15Oh, I'll try and find out for you, miss.
00:37:17What would the name be?
00:37:18Caroon.
00:37:19Victor Caroon.
00:37:20Oh.
00:37:21He's all right, isn't he?
00:37:22Mrs. Caroon, I wish I could let you go up, but we strict orders about your husband.
00:37:27All I want to know is how is he?
00:37:28Is there any change?
00:37:30Just a minute.
00:37:35Hello, Mabel.
00:37:37Alf here.
00:37:37Listen.
00:37:38How is 4B?
00:37:39I know all about the orders, but I only want you to think out loud.
00:37:45Thank you, Mabel.
00:37:48She's going on the same, Mrs. Caroon.
00:37:50No change, but no worse.
00:37:52If I could see him, just for a few minutes.
00:37:54I should be shot at dawn.
00:37:56But don't you worry.
00:37:57He's in good hands.
00:37:58They don't leave him alone, do they?
00:38:00Oh, not for a moment.
00:38:02Tucker, his night nurse, is with him now.
00:38:04And Perkins comes on in about half an hour.
00:38:06Both as good as any doctor.
00:38:07Could I wait for the night nurse when he comes off duty?
00:38:10If only to talk to someone who's been with him.
00:38:13Please.
00:38:14Tucker comes over in about half an hour.
00:38:16He usually dips out through the staff entrance.
00:38:18Turn left through the doors and is on the right.
00:38:21Wait for him outside.
00:38:23And if they ask me, I never told you nothing.
00:38:37There's only the nurse with him.
00:38:51His name's Tucker.
00:38:51His name?
00:38:52You mean I've got a plan for the heat nurse?
00:38:54Sleep, hurry.
00:38:54You've only got half an hour before the relief nurse comes on duty.
00:38:57Another one in Perkins?
00:38:58His name's Perkins.
00:38:59It's money, money, money.
00:39:01Cash before delivery.
00:39:02It always gives me more comfort.
00:39:03Especially when my investigating is this private.
00:39:05Room 4B.
00:39:074B.
00:39:07Give me 15 minutes.
00:39:15I'll put him in the lift and send him down.
00:39:17Then he's all yours.
00:39:18I never saw you in my...
00:39:19Please hurry.
00:39:19And he's very sick.
00:39:20Don't worry.
00:39:21I'll murder him like a baby.
00:39:44You've got to get him.
00:39:46Relax, lady.
00:39:47You're shaking the belly.
00:39:51Good evening.
00:40:14Good evening.
00:40:14Yeah.
00:40:21Evening.
00:40:22I'm from Casualty.
00:40:23Perkins is sick.
00:40:24They sent me to take over his night shift.
00:40:25Fine.
00:40:26Well, I know I'm too honest, but you're not due for another half hour.
00:40:28Who cares?
00:40:29Night shift is night shift.
00:40:30What's a half an hour here or there?
00:40:31You know you've got to heaven for this?
00:40:33At our rate of pay, we should get some fun out of life.
00:40:35What's his trouble?
00:40:36He doesn't seem to know.
00:40:37He's the star patient.
00:40:39He just lies and stares.
00:40:40Never opens his mouth.
00:40:42But if he does, press that bell and quick.
00:40:44Well, happy nightmare.
00:40:45Any special instructions?
00:40:47No one of the chart.
00:40:48Good night.
00:40:49Night.
00:40:51News, my friend.
00:40:55Your wife is waiting for you downstairs.
00:40:58I'm the man who's going to get you out of here.
00:40:59Does that make you happy?
00:41:01It does?
00:41:02Good.
00:41:03But we don't have too much time, so up we get.
00:41:17Hello.
00:41:18Hello.
00:41:19What time are you off?
00:41:20Ask him whether he's going to live or not.
00:41:22Operating?
00:41:22For about three and a half hours at least.
00:41:24You too?
00:41:25Me too.
00:41:26Chinese restaurants, open for midnight.
00:41:28Take you both.
00:41:29Beautiful green sour pork, roast duck, fried shrimp.
00:41:32You've talked us into it.
00:41:34There we are.
00:41:36Now the jacket.
00:41:36There's a good boy.
00:41:46Can't meet the lady looking sloppy.
00:41:49You know, it's funny.
00:41:50Wives usually employ me to get them away from their husbands.
00:41:54Oh, you're a sad one.
00:41:56Well, to each his own.
00:41:58Hey, steady, steady.
00:42:00Now, you stay here while Christy goes and gets the lift.
00:42:03Won't be a minute.
00:42:04Hold on.
00:42:04All clear.
00:42:33Hey, come on, hurry.
00:42:36That's the boy.
00:42:37Christy's got you.
00:42:38What do you got there?
00:43:08What are you hiding?
00:43:12What is it?
00:43:30Victor.
00:43:32Oh, Victor, darling.
00:43:34I've got the car outside. Please try and be quick.
00:43:37You can make it, dear.
00:43:53Everything's going to be all right, Victor.
00:43:55I'll get you the best treatment.
00:43:57The finest doctors.
00:44:00I'll get you well and strong.
00:44:02We'll make a new life for ourselves.
00:44:04Away from all this.
00:44:06Away from him.
00:44:08Our life will be our own.
00:44:18Would you like one?
00:44:20We'll be there.
00:44:22We'll be there, honey.
00:44:24We'll be there.
00:44:25Victor, I am...
00:44:26Victor...
00:44:36Victor...
00:44:38You're home.
00:44:39Are you in pain?
00:44:40You're home. Are you in pain?
00:45:06Well, this is one case I don't think we'll find listed in forensic medicine.
00:45:10It looks as though the life was drawn right out of him.
00:45:12Have the body examined by your head pathologist.
00:45:14I'd like a report as soon as possible.
00:45:16You wouldn't mind if the homeopsy pathologist also took a little peep.
00:45:19I don't care if he dunks his head into a rain...
00:45:21...on the other side of town. Car full of luggage.
00:45:23And Caroon? No sign of him.
00:45:25Stupid idiot. Trying to take the whole thing in her own hands.
00:45:27Where did he go? What did she say?
00:45:28She didn't say anything. Anything about him.
00:45:30She's in a pretty bad state of shock.
00:45:31You thought about him, then about what?
00:45:32The doctor said she may even go out of her mind.
00:45:34Out of her mind about what? What did she say? Come on, talk, man.
00:45:37Well, when they found her, she was just sitting at the wheel of a car...
00:45:41...and moaning. Something about a hand being all grey...
00:45:47...with thorns, like a... like a cactus.
00:45:50I remember there was a cactus in this room, in this pot.
00:46:07Can I get a direct line through this?
00:46:08Yes.
00:46:09Hello?
00:46:12Hello?
00:46:14Get this cover in the yard.
00:46:16Car 39. Car 39.
00:46:22Proceed immediately to 34 Bainham Street.
00:46:26And investigate the port of Prowler by resident.
00:46:29May be Caroon. Proceed with caution.
00:46:32Car 39. Roger.
00:46:33Car 2.
00:46:341 and 2.
00:46:36Join River Police at Hayes Wharf to search area bounded by...
00:46:40Shandham.
00:46:41Hayes and Antony Street.
00:46:43River Patrol 4.
00:46:47River Patrol 4.
00:46:49Join Mobile Police at Hayes Wharf to search area bounded by...
00:46:53...Toolie Street, Hayes Lane and Strat Thames.
00:46:56River Patrol 4. Roger. Out.
00:46:59Have a great day with us!
00:47:26This growth on the face, half plant, half...
00:47:33Look at this.
00:47:36Look what it's done.
00:47:38The whole tissue structure's eaten away.
00:47:41The bone's powder.
00:47:43Well, it takes care of my supper tonight.
00:47:46Brisco.
00:47:48What if there is a form of life in space?
00:47:51Not on some planet, but just drifting.
00:47:54All right, Nance.
00:48:00Not life as we know it.
00:48:02With intelligence, yes.
00:48:03But pure energy with no organic structure.
00:48:06Invisible.
00:48:07Invisible?
00:48:08Now, the rocket passed through its path.
00:48:10It entered the rocket.
00:48:11It found living specimens of our form of life.
00:48:13Cell organisms, human...
00:48:15Green and Russian.
00:48:17And Karun, exactly.
00:48:19Now, if even by accident it could enter one of those structures...
00:48:23What a way to invade the Earth.
00:48:26Now, look, sir, I'm not over-intelligent.
00:48:28If you saw the film, you know what happened.
00:48:30Only God knows where and how far that rocket traveled.
00:48:34But only two of them died.
00:48:35Something got into that rocket.
00:48:37Took the blood out of the other two, and now it's using Karun.
00:48:41And it's found other forms of life.
00:48:43The cactus.
00:48:44Good grief.
00:48:46You mean Karun's a carrier.
00:48:48He's now under the shell of a man being transformed.
00:48:52If one of these cactus plants were subject to the same mutation...
00:48:55There could be an affinity, a union between plant and animal...
00:48:58With the ability to destroy.
00:49:00And possess.
00:49:02And multiply.
00:49:04At will.
00:49:07Multiply?
00:49:09Yes, but to multiply, first it has to live.
00:49:13And like any living thing, to live...
00:49:16To live, it must have food.
00:49:39I'm sorry, we're closed.
00:49:51All right, just a minute.
00:49:53Oh, dear.
00:49:55Look, we only open till...
00:49:57Hey, wait a minute!
00:49:59You can't come into a place like this!
00:50:01Leave those things alone!
00:50:04What do you think you're doing?
00:50:08Are you in pain?
00:50:14Hmm?
00:50:16Is it something to do with your arm?
00:50:20Look, I'll just take a look.
00:50:22I won't hurt it, I promise.
00:50:32No!
00:50:38No!
00:50:44All right, love, I'll get it.
00:50:50Hello?
00:50:51Yes, best?
00:50:53What?
00:50:54When?
00:50:55Right, the cordon of the whole area.
00:50:57Tell Quenemus and Brisco to meet us there.
00:50:59Bart!
00:51:03Now what?
00:51:04I've got to go back.
00:51:05But you've only just come in.
00:51:06You just can't do without me, love.
00:51:08I don't know why you don't move into the office.
00:51:10You'd never believe I was there.
00:51:12What makes you think I do now?
00:51:14Ha ha!
00:51:15Have your tea, at least.
00:51:16I haven't got time, love.
00:51:17The things you do to that poor stomach of yours.
00:51:20I ought to get you a picnic basket.
00:51:23What I'm going on is no picnic.
00:51:25What about dinner?
00:51:27Cook it and keep your fingers crossed.
00:51:29Bye, love.
00:51:37What do you think he was trying to do?
00:51:38I'd like to think kill himself.
00:51:40The fears were mixed the normal result of the death in five minutes.
00:51:42What?
00:51:43What is it?
00:51:44I have a pretty sick feeling it was something to speed up the change going on inside him.
00:51:48But Caroon was an engineer.
00:51:50He didn't know anything about chemistry.
00:51:51Caroon didn't know.
00:51:53There's a kettle still on and there's no sign of the chemist anywhere.
00:51:56What do you think he was doing here?
00:51:57Well, one thing he was doing.
00:51:58We're not certain.
00:52:00Not certain about anything with this customer.
00:52:02Well, nobody in the street heard anything.
00:52:04They're all at church or in the local.
00:52:06He must have...
00:52:18Evans, come in quick.
00:52:19And quiet.
00:52:20Evans, come in quick.
00:52:21And quiet.
00:52:48Mark.
00:52:49And quiet.
00:52:50Oh no, don't ask me what you meant there?
00:52:54There are friends.
00:52:55I don't know of the память where he was living with us.
00:52:57It's the first time that one was given to us.
00:52:58Well, I think he could have some gunplay.
00:52:59It's good for him.
00:53:00You keeper?
00:53:01Said Ben.
00:53:05No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:53:35No, no, no, no.
00:54:05No, no, no, no, no.
00:54:35You don't care about those things, do you?
00:54:37You don't care about new clothes or anything.
00:54:40We're friends.
00:54:41You sit there and be a good girl while I make the tea.
00:54:47And I brought the most delicious cakes and biscuits.
00:55:03The others never serve anything, but we do.
00:55:07Look, aren't they lovely?
00:55:10Don't be frightened.
00:55:12That's only the old rats that live in this old boat.
00:55:15Now, tea is ready.
00:55:20Sugar?
00:55:21One, two, all right.
00:55:24Now you may have a cake.
00:55:26This one, it's filled with cherries.
00:55:28But anyway, I like the other one because it's full of chocolate.
00:55:31Oh, we thought you were rats.
00:55:38Won't you stay and have tea with us?
00:55:42I would very much like you to stay.
00:55:44And you look so tired.
00:55:47There's plenty if that's what you're worried about.
00:55:49And cakes, too.
00:55:50Go on, Dolly, you ask him.
00:55:55Please, won't you have tea and cakes with us?
00:55:58Don't be frightened.
00:56:00We would like you to stay very much.
00:56:03And you may have the cake that has all the chocolate inside.
00:56:06Tell him, Dolly.
00:56:07Yes, what time was this?
00:56:37Was it an eyewitness?
00:56:39I see.
00:56:40Well, they're doing fine.
00:56:42He's been positively seen in Liverpool, Margate, Osband and the Orkneys.
00:56:45Yes?
00:56:46Yes.
00:56:47Deptford area.
00:56:48What?
00:56:49A kid told her mother...
00:56:51Yes?
00:56:52About two hours ago.
00:56:53Hold it, please.
00:56:55A kid got a doll broken by a man down by some derelict boats near Deptford.
00:56:59So it had to be Caroon?
00:57:00No, the mother's complaining about molesting kids.
00:57:02Deptford said the description could fit Caroon.
00:57:04All right, well, that's why there's a police station at Deptford.
00:57:07Thank you, Deptford.
00:57:09Keep us informed.
00:57:10Mobile?
00:57:11A Deptford alert on Caroon.
00:57:13Yes, I know it is.
00:57:14So your boys can have another little drive.
00:57:17Cover derelict boats, warehouses and bomb shelters.
00:57:21All right, so do it again.
00:57:24Where's he getting food?
00:57:25That's what I'd like to know.
00:57:28Now, now, shut up, Simba.
00:57:29You've had to do it.
00:57:30It's time to go to bed.
00:57:31Go on, off you go.
00:57:33Go on, don't stand there gaping at me.
00:57:34Off you go to bed.
00:57:35Good night, fellas.
00:57:49Seat well.
00:57:50Hello, Joey.
00:57:52You know something?
00:57:53Could have sworn I saw you having tea in a cafe this afternoon.
00:57:56Turned out to be a customer, though.
00:57:57Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
00:58:27Oh, my God.
00:58:57Oh, my God.
00:59:27Oh, my God.
00:59:57Oh, my God.
01:00:27Oh, my God.
01:00:57Oh, my God.
01:01:27Oh, my God.
01:01:57Oh, my God.
01:02:27What killed these animals?
01:02:28You'd better say natural causes.
01:02:30For now.
01:02:34Sorry, ma'am.
01:02:35We're closed this morning.
01:02:36Closed?
01:02:37But we've come all the way for mapping.
01:02:39Sorry, ma'am.
01:02:39We're not open to the public this morning.
01:02:41Will it be open this afternoon.
01:02:42Will it be open this afternoon?
01:02:42I wish I could tell you, sir.
01:02:44Sorry, folks.
01:02:45It's too closed.
01:02:46I'm very sorry now, but we're closed.
01:02:47Closed?
01:02:48What's happened?
01:02:48I'm very sorry, sir.
01:02:49I'll say there.
01:02:57I'm sure.
01:02:58I'm so happy to study.
01:02:59Maybe him.
01:03:01I'm so happy.
01:03:02I'm so happy.
01:03:05I'm so happy.
01:03:06Wait a minute.
01:03:26It's Decker.
01:03:36What is it?
01:03:37It was here.
01:03:41Look at this.
01:03:44It's alive.
01:03:46Looks pretty horrible, doesn't it?
01:03:47Quick, the sample box.
01:03:53Well, what manner or shape of thing do we look for now?
01:03:58You'll know it when you see it.
01:03:59Just send your men out with a prayer that we find it in time.
01:04:06It's almost too terrifying to think about it.
01:04:09In less than 12 minutes, every animal completely absorbed, except one.
01:04:14Gone like quicksand.
01:04:16But this quicksand knows what it's doing.
01:04:19It's troubled its size in an hour.
01:04:21Do you know what this means?
01:04:22This is only a fragment of the main organism.
01:04:25If the same thing is happening to him at the same rate of speed,
01:04:28if absorbing those mice to do this,
01:04:30there is no living thing on earth that stands a chance against it.
01:04:33How do we fight it? How do we stop it?
01:04:35Hands off me, young man.
01:04:38Please remember that I'll come here of my own cause.
01:04:41Yes, yes.
01:04:42I'll come here to complain about something, what I saw.
01:04:44Okay, Rosie, you keep saying now.
01:04:46I refuse to divulge it to any common constable
01:04:49who has nothing to do all day but sit on his big flat fleet.
01:04:53On his big fat fleet.
01:04:55Now, come on, Rosie, old girl.
01:04:58Don't you want to call me.
01:05:00I'm young enough to be your mother.
01:05:02So what respectable woman you want to be right there now?
01:05:05All right, husband.
01:05:06Here!
01:05:07I come in here to my own free war.
01:05:09I come here to my own violent violation.
01:05:12I'm very glad we are to see you, Rosie.
01:05:14What can we do for you this time?
01:05:15I wish to make a report.
01:05:17Miss Rosemary, Elizabeth, Wrigley.
01:05:21What address this week?
01:05:22I'm temporarily visiting.
01:05:24Bow Street?
01:05:25With friends.
01:05:26Salvation Army, the Embankment.
01:05:28What did you see this time, Rosie?
01:05:30Oh, it was terrible.
01:05:31Shocking.
01:05:32It always is, Rosie.
01:05:33Just tell me what you saw.
01:05:34Oh, it's a bit of a thing if a young woman can't walk the streets of London
01:05:38with that creepy crawly being able to roam about as the police.
01:05:41What's the police force for if they're not to protect us from the life of that?
01:05:45Go on, tell me.
01:05:46Tell me, what's the police force for?
01:05:48Rosie.
01:05:49Yes?
01:05:50Rosie, just tell me what you saw.
01:05:52And we of the London Metropolitan Police will do all in our power
01:05:55to see that it doesn't occur again.
01:05:57Is it when my voice went so dry that I couldn't even yell for a copper?
01:06:02I've still got this awful thirst.
01:06:04Makes it hard to remember.
01:06:06And water makes me as sick as a baby.
01:06:09That'd better be worthwhile, Rosie.
01:06:11After you, tell me.
01:06:15I was sitting in a doorway, I see.
01:06:17Because I wasn't feeling so well.
01:06:19And the doctor says that too much walking's better than me legs.
01:06:22It's me legs, you see.
01:06:23You were sitting in a doorway?
01:06:24See, just for a minute or two.
01:06:26When suddenly I heard a kind of rustling it was.
01:06:31Rustling?
01:06:32So I looked.
01:06:33And there at the end of the street.
01:06:35I saw something move.
01:06:37Something enormous.
01:06:39What move, Rosie?
01:06:40Well, I couldn't make out the shape properly.
01:06:43I used to make out the shape of these things.
01:06:46Think carefully, Rosie.
01:06:48Was it...
01:06:50Was it something?
01:06:51Was it walking quickly?
01:06:53Or slowly?
01:06:54Walking?
01:06:55It was kind of crawling.
01:06:58Up on a wall.
01:06:59Wasn't like any of the things that I'll see on Saturday nights.
01:07:03No, Rosie.
01:07:04I think this time you really saw it.
01:07:05Get me in the yard.
01:07:06Or cancel it.
01:07:07It's a priority.
01:07:08Really sorry?
01:07:09Yes.
01:07:10You mean that this time it's not a hallucin...
01:07:12It's not a gin goblin.
01:07:13No, Rosie.
01:07:14This time it was real.
01:07:15Real?
01:07:16It's me legs!
01:07:18Hello?
01:07:19Scotland Yard?
01:07:20Yes.
01:07:21Inspector Lomax, please.
01:07:22Lomax, yeah?
01:07:23Yes.
01:07:24Say that again?
01:07:25Get the commissioner right away.
01:07:28Hello?
01:07:29Yes.
01:07:30Yes.
01:07:31We'll be right there.
01:07:32Lomax.
01:07:33Says it's climbed a brick wall 30 feet high.
01:07:48Says it's climbed a brick wall 30 feet high.
01:08:18Yes.
01:08:19No doubt at all.
01:08:20He was here.
01:08:21Quite recently, too.
01:08:22The trail ends on the wall.
01:08:24Let me have that case up here.
01:08:26Get him his case, Sergeant.
01:08:27Send the car, please.
01:08:28Use the car radio.
01:08:29I want to cordon around the entire area.
01:08:30Evacuate all public.
01:08:31Get information to the police.
01:08:32Get information to the police.
01:08:33Check up every movement that's likely to take place inside this radius tonight.
01:08:34Yes, sir.
01:08:35Warn everyone not to touch anything unusual they may find in the streets or their gardens.
01:08:36Warn the children, especially.
01:08:37Warn the children, especially.
01:08:38Warn the children, especially.
01:09:08Come on.
01:09:09He's in jail.
01:09:10Come on.
01:09:11Let's go.
01:09:12Let's go.
01:09:13What did he do?
01:09:14Go?
01:09:16Go.
01:09:17Go.
01:09:18Go.
01:09:20Go.
01:09:21Go.
01:09:22Go.
01:09:24Go.
01:09:25Go.
01:09:26Go.
01:09:27Go.
01:09:28Go.
01:09:29Go.
01:09:30Go.
01:09:31Go.
01:09:33Go.
01:09:34Go.
01:09:35Go.
01:09:36Go.
01:09:37Go.
01:09:38It got out?
01:09:55Look at the size of it now.
01:09:59It's our food.
01:10:00There's mice.
01:10:07Yes.
01:10:08Don't touch it.
01:10:09Look at those sporangia, spore-producing patches.
01:10:11If it had lived to complete this reproductive cycle,
01:10:13this room would have been a jungle of living tendrils.
01:10:16How many more of these things are there around London?
01:10:18I ain't gonna find Lomax.
01:10:19It's not a question of how many, but where are they?
01:10:21If they can reproduce at this rate, another 24 hours, a few days.
01:10:27Get me stuck in the yard quickly.
01:10:29Suppose it had reached the mice.
01:10:32Yes.
01:10:33Yes, of course.
01:10:35The Commissioner. They're getting him, sir.
01:10:37Right.
01:10:38Get hold of Evans.
01:10:40I want him to get out an anti-panic statement.
01:10:42I want it broadcast, televised and printed in all the nationals.
01:10:45Yes, sir.
01:10:46Yes.
01:10:47I want every available man in the metropolitan area.
01:10:49Immediate search of parks, fields, undergrounds and subways.
01:10:52Yes, sir. It's the Quatimus experiment.
01:10:54I'm afraid you'll have to take it right to top level, sir.
01:10:56I need troops and the civil defence.
01:10:58Yes, sir. I'll be right up.
01:11:22Yes, sir.
01:11:23Yes, sir.
01:11:24Yes, sir.
01:11:27Yes, sir.
01:11:43This is all we need to start the program with a swing.
01:11:51What's she talking about?
01:11:52Oh, no one must touch anything unusual they find in the streets.
01:11:55Don't panic.
01:11:56Just inform the nearest police station.
01:11:58They've been putting that out all day on the radio.
01:12:01Westminster Abbey.
01:12:03Yes?
01:12:04Standing by.
01:12:06Opening announcement coming up.
01:12:07Okay, stand by, cameras.
01:12:13All right, camera one, titles are in.
01:12:18We'll be on you in five seconds.
01:12:21Four, three, two, one.
01:12:31On you, camera one, where are you?
01:12:34All right, quick, take over, camera two, on you instead.
01:12:41What's that?
01:12:41What's happened?
01:12:43Looks like a body.
01:12:45Kill transmission.
01:12:47Linedrobe, fill in, will you?
01:12:49I'll get back as soon as possible.
01:12:50Till presentation.
01:12:50Hello?
01:12:51What goes on here?
01:13:13He fell from the scaffold.
01:13:15He slipped.
01:13:15Dead before he fell.
01:13:17Dead before he fell?
01:13:18I shouldn't have at least got a strong stomach.
01:13:23It's practically less sick.
01:13:24Better get the police.
01:13:25Yes.
01:13:26Yes, get the police.
01:13:27Well, go on with the program.
01:13:30It's up to you, sir, if you...
01:13:31I'm all right.
01:13:32I think we'd better carry on on the other part of the ante.
01:13:34Right.
01:13:35Pull that lot in over here, will you?
01:13:37Better blank your something in covering up.
01:13:39Come on, quick.
01:13:39It's quite a match.
01:13:47Right.
01:13:47All right.
01:13:58All right, I want the whole air be cleared.
01:14:00Public clergy, everyone, and quick.
01:14:02Please, it's not so loud.
01:14:03There's a transmission going on.
01:14:04Yeah, the transmission coming off.
01:14:06I want you all out of this place.
01:14:07Every second they count.
01:14:12It's been too much of it to the cameras.
01:14:15This is going all over England.
01:14:16It's an emergency.
01:14:18Stop.
01:14:19Stop.
01:14:19I can't stop it.
01:14:20Where's your producer?
01:14:20It's on the truck.
01:14:21It's on the airs of pain and aged by the dust of time.
01:14:37Ready over reinforcements.
01:14:41Sir, you on camera two, stand by and steam glass window.
01:14:45Camera three and scaffolding, hold it.
01:14:48I'm Inspector Longach.
01:14:48You've got to get two people out of the alley.
01:14:50Okay, please, coming on to you, camera three.
01:14:52Everybody in that building may be in deadly danger.
01:14:54We're on transmission.
01:14:55I'm going to you, camera one.
01:14:56Turn up as high as you can.
01:15:01What a name of it.
01:15:02It must be 20 feet across.
01:15:07Your transmission.
01:15:08Camera one, hold that short and lock off, and everybody out.
01:15:13Hello.
01:15:14Hello, presentation.
01:15:15Yes, you'll just have to carry on as best you can.
01:15:17We can't go on here.
01:15:18Yes.
01:15:19Yes, fill in, will you?
01:15:24Quiet of us, quick.
01:15:25In the tunnel.
01:15:26We'll never let Abbey have a strike now.
01:15:31At the Abbey, there's an emergency.
01:15:33You saw it?
01:15:34We don't know what it is.
01:15:36Same pattern as the one in the lab.
01:15:38Only with 30 times the part of reproduction.
01:15:40Those nodules, if they get to spore this time, nothing will stop them.
01:15:43They'll break up, they'll spread by the medium, wherever there's air and wind.
01:15:45How long before it starts reproducing again?
01:15:48Just on the last cycle, 80 or 90 minutes, and then within the hours, for every one, there'll be a million.
01:15:52It's coming, Lord.
01:15:53We've got to stop it.
01:15:54We'll need a minute.
01:15:54We'll stop it now.
01:15:56We'll get flamethrowers.
01:15:57Parts of it might still escape.
01:15:58The whole of it must be killed.
01:15:59Dynamite.
01:16:00That would only spread it further.
01:16:01Stop moving.
01:16:04It's barely pulsating now.
01:16:07My timing was out.
01:16:08It's in its last dormant stage, just before it reproduces.
01:16:11It's changing again.
01:16:12The beginning of news for production's hands.
01:16:14Dustin.
01:16:15The way it's hanging there, wrapped around the scaffolding.
01:16:18Briscoe, I think we can stop it.
01:16:25Now, Professor, that scaffolding inside.
01:16:27I want to run cables to it.
01:16:28That's half the main power line.
01:16:30I want to set enough burned into that steel to burn it up.
01:16:32We've got to keep pouring corn to it.
01:16:34We have to melt it right down to the ground.
01:16:35Yeah, it's our only chance.
01:16:37I want every bit of corn in London diverted to here.
01:16:39You'll bring the city to a standstill.
01:16:40If that thing's pouring before we kill it, you won't have any city.
01:16:43I just hope you're right, that's all.
01:16:44I just hope you're right.
01:16:46Please!
01:17:08Attention, everybody.
01:17:09There is no cause for a love.
01:17:14I repeat.
01:17:15There is no cause for a love.
01:17:18Please do not cry.
01:17:21And if you have official business in this facility, please miss first.
01:17:25Go back to your home.
01:17:27There is nothing to see.
01:17:28Go back to your home.
01:17:29There's nothing to say.
01:17:31Don't have to be fixed.
01:17:42Don't try to drive over.
01:17:42Don't do this.
01:17:42Live in there.
01:17:43I guess you'll sit at home.
01:17:44Tell me.
01:17:44Tell him to bless you.
01:17:45No, no!
01:17:46Don't do that.
01:17:46Don't do it.
01:17:47I expect you to cry.
01:17:47Do you?
01:17:48Yeah.
01:17:48Take care.
01:17:48No, no, no...
01:17:49inspector!
01:17:50Go back!
01:17:51Now,ir host, sir.
01:17:51Do you a-do story?
01:17:52Who is a telephone ordered?
01:17:53No.
01:17:54Do you have some VM الس?
01:17:54Hey!
01:17:55No.
01:17:55Do you have these things?
01:17:55Now do you have a LED?
01:18:26Hello, battle seat. Stand by.
01:18:52Switch on.
01:18:56Switch on.
01:19:26Switch on.
01:19:56Let's go.
01:20:14Well, this time you won.
01:20:16In my simple Bible way, I did a lot of praying.
01:20:19One world at a time is good enough for me.
01:20:26Can we use it all up now, sir?
01:20:39Is it all right, sir?
01:20:41Wait a minute. Why wasn't I involved about all this?
01:20:59I've only just heard, sir. Might have been here sooner.
01:21:02Is there anything I can do?
01:21:03Yes, Marsh. Gonna need some help.
01:21:05Help, sir? What are you gonna do?
01:21:07I'm gonna start again.
