00:00:46Good morning.
00:00:48Would you give me Major Bernard his life-hall number?
00:01:06Well, thank you.
00:01:09Alan?
00:01:10It's good.
00:01:11Look, you're coming down here today, aren't you?
00:01:15Could you pick up a book for me and bring it with you?
00:01:17It's...
00:01:31Gordon?
00:01:35Operator?
00:01:37Operator?
00:01:40You're a little blaster.
00:01:42Got cut off.
00:01:44That was my brother-in-law.
00:01:45Would you try and get through again?
00:01:46I've got to go and change.
00:01:47Yes, sir.
00:01:51Operator?
00:01:52You've been cut off from Midwich 2-5.
00:01:55Would you get it again, please?
00:01:57Hello?
00:01:58Hello?
00:01:59Will you replace your receiver, please?
00:02:01Please replace your receiver.
00:02:05Hello?
00:02:06Hello?
00:02:08Hello?
00:02:31Have you ready?
00:02:48Well, I agree.
00:02:51Bye.
00:02:51Hey, we are behind.
00:02:54Hey!
00:02:55Hey!
00:02:58Hey!
00:03:00You've been opened near me,
00:05:02For more than an hour, you say?
00:05:04Yes, sir.
00:05:05Perhaps something went wrong with his phone.
00:05:07Oh, but this is what puzzles me, sir.
00:05:08You see, I've also tried the vicar, the general stores and the post office.
00:05:11I can't get any reply from any of them.
00:05:13Well, country telephone exchanges bring what they are.
00:05:15Yes, I know, sir, but look here, sir.
00:05:19Midwich is here.
00:05:21Now, 4th Brigade are running that exercise of theirs all round it.
00:05:25Well, I don't suppose there is anything in it, sir, but I was wondering, as I was going down for
00:05:28the weekend anyway, whether I could have your permission to leave earlier than I intended.
00:05:33All right, Annan.
00:05:34Give me a ring later.
00:05:35I'll be here till 5.
00:05:36Thank you, sir.
00:05:38Well, Annan.
00:05:39Yes, sir?
00:05:40Have a nice weekend.
00:05:42Give my respects to Gordon.
00:05:43I will.
00:05:43Goodbye, sir.
00:06:06Hello, Gobby.
00:06:07Oh, it's Major Bernard, sir.
00:06:08Well, Gobby, what's happened to the telephones?
00:06:10We've been trying to get through all morning.
00:06:11It's funny you should ask, Major.
00:06:12I've just been sent to look for the bus, which hasn't turned up.
00:06:16We can't get through by phone either.
00:06:34Here's your bus, Gobby.
00:06:37It's truth.
00:06:40Better have a look.
00:06:47Better have a look.
00:06:59Better have a look.
00:07:04Better have a look.
00:07:06Better have a look.
00:07:06Better have a look.
00:07:07Better have a look.
00:07:08Better have a look.
00:07:09Better have a look.
00:07:10Better have a look.
00:07:10Better have a look.
00:07:19All right, Alan, you better get hold of the local area commander.
00:07:22What's his name?
00:07:23Ford Johnson, sir.
00:07:24Oh, yes.
00:07:25Tell him to call me if he wants authorization.
00:07:27I'll get things moving this end.
00:07:29Oh, Alan.
00:07:29Yes, sir.
00:07:30Make sure the newspapers don't get hold of this for the time being.
00:07:33If anything has got out of hand there, we don't want any panic.
00:07:37Report back as soon as you have any results.
00:07:39Right, sir.
00:07:41Get me Southeast in command, please.
00:07:45Over here, Sergeant.
00:07:53Start the tunnel, Sergeant.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23The canary?
00:08:30You needn't go in if you don't want to.
00:08:31I'll have a go, sir.
00:08:32Quite sure?
00:08:33Yes, sir.
00:08:42Open up!
00:08:53Captain, now.
00:08:55Well, we might be ready, Doctor.
00:09:08Just a minute.
00:09:09Oh, hello, Doctor.
00:09:10Glad you're here.
00:09:11Glad you're here.
00:09:11We may need you.
00:09:30What's wrong with you?
00:09:31That's it.
00:09:31We're trying to find out.
00:09:35Will you take a look at him, Doc?
00:09:37I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:42I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:44The house is normal.
00:09:46Seems to be breathing normally.
00:09:50I think he's just fainted.
00:09:53It's coming around.
00:09:55You better let me know what this is all about.
00:09:57Doctor, when were you last in the village?
00:09:59Midwich?
00:10:00About 10 o'clock.
00:10:01Had a couple of patients to see in Widmarsh.
00:10:03Now, there are roadblocks all over the place.
00:10:05I've got to get back.
00:10:06I've got patients to see.
00:10:08Well, my hunch is that all your patients in Midwich
00:10:09are in the same state as this man.
00:10:14All right.
00:10:14All right, old chap.
00:10:15Take it easy.
00:10:17Take it easy.
00:10:19What can it be?
00:10:21To put a man out like a light.
00:10:23Penetrate our respirators.
00:10:24Do all this.
00:10:27Some sort of gas?
00:10:29No, it can't be.
00:10:31Any breeze would have landed about a bit.
00:10:33The edges of the area are as well defined as that hedge there.
00:10:37Cold.
00:10:39What did you say?
00:10:40Ice cold.
00:10:43I'm all right, sir.
00:10:44Only cold.
00:10:46My hands white ice.
00:10:56Midwich and Charlie Alpha.
00:10:57Midwich and Charlie Alpha.
00:10:58Can you see anything?
00:11:00Over.
00:11:02Everything looks all right from here.
00:11:04Over.
00:11:04Let me speak to you.
00:11:08Hello, Charlie Alpha.
00:11:09This is Major Bernardsme.
00:11:10Can you see nothing unusual at all in Midwich?
00:11:14Nothing moving?
00:11:15No, sir.
00:11:15Nothing.
00:11:17Matter of fact, that's odd.
00:11:18Nothing is moving down there.
00:11:20I can see some people, but they're not moving either.
00:11:26They're lying on the ground.
00:11:27As though they've fallen?
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:31Right.
00:11:31Take it down slowly, but pull up the minute you feel anything.
00:11:35Feel anything, sir?
00:11:36Anything unusual.
00:11:44Watch up.
00:11:48Two more things moving, sir.
00:11:50Take it down.
00:11:52Careful now.
00:12:02Easy.
00:12:08Easy.
00:12:11Easy.
00:12:14Easy.
00:12:56There's another aircraft approaching. Send out a general warning immediately. All aircraft to avoid this area are not to drop
00:13:01below 5,000 feet.
00:13:02Yes, sir. Midwich to base. Midwich to base. Emergency. I say again, emergency. On all aircraft to avoid area, 5
00:13:10miles radius.
00:13:11Latitude, 51 degrees, 10 minutes, 30 seconds north. Longitude, 1 degree, 11 minutes, 20 seconds west. Maintain minimum altitude of
00:13:205,000 feet. Out.
00:13:39Blimey, look.
00:13:41Blimey, look.
00:13:53Blimey, look.
00:13:59Blimey, look.
00:14:03Blimey, look.
00:14:07Blimey, look.
00:14:09Blimey, look.
00:14:13Blimey, look.
00:14:16Blimey, look.
00:14:17Blimey, look.
00:14:18Blimey, look.
00:14:19Blimey, look.
00:14:20Blimey, look.
00:14:23Blimey, look.
00:14:23Blimey, look.
00:14:24Blimey, look.
00:14:24Blimey, look.
00:15:27Darling, I'm sorry. I must have dozed off.
00:15:33Look at the time. It's almost three o'clock.
00:15:37Why didn't you call me?
00:15:41I'd better go and see about lunch.
00:15:47I can't hear.
00:15:55I find myself asleep on the floor.
00:16:00It's an extraordinary thing to do.
00:16:04Oh, I'm... I'm cold.
00:16:11I've gone out.
00:16:14Did you...
00:16:16Did we faint?
00:16:19We must have blacked out.
00:16:22Why?
00:16:23Well, I... I have quite numb.
00:16:32Gordon, what did happen?
00:16:37I don't know.
00:16:56Alan.
00:16:57You're all right.
00:16:59You're late.
00:16:59I couldn't get through.
00:17:01Get through.
00:17:02Alan, what did you mean, you're all right?
00:17:03I mean, how did you know?
00:17:04Well, it's an extraordinary thing, but we seem to have blacked out for several hours.
00:17:07I know.
00:17:08It must have been some sort of slow week in the gas.
00:17:09It wasn't only you two.
00:17:10The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:12The village?
00:17:13All of Medvedge was cut off from the outside world for several hours.
00:17:37The village was cut off from the outside world for several hours.
00:18:00Anything registering, sir?
00:18:02No, sir, nothing unusual.
00:18:03Well, keep at it.
00:18:07Oh, Mr. Sellaby.
00:18:09Yes, Miss O'Ball.
00:18:10You see, are these people from the telephone company?
00:18:13Not the telephone company, no.
00:18:15That's what I said.
00:18:16I mean, if they want to pull the wool over our eyes,
00:18:18they ought to try something better.
00:18:19Yes, well, I'm trying to find out...
00:18:21After all, we're not stupid, are we?
00:18:23What's happened isn't natural.
00:18:25I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:18:27I'll press for an official explanation
00:18:30while you help to stop the rumours getting about.
00:18:33All right?
00:18:38Do you mind?
00:18:40Soil samples?
00:18:41Yes, sir.
00:18:41Plant life?
00:18:42Even the bark on the trees, but I don't think...
00:18:43Don't forget insects, grasses, water, metals.
00:18:45The sooner and more elaborate these tests can be made, the better.
00:18:48Yes, sir.
00:18:49It's quite all right.
00:18:50This is Professor Gordon Sellaby.
00:18:51Oh, yes, I certainly am.
00:18:54Well, no one seems to have come to any harm.
00:18:57You cut some bruises where they fell.
00:19:00Lucky no one was in their bath.
00:19:01They might have been drowned.
00:19:03Yes.
00:19:03Hello, Mrs. Harrington.
00:19:05Well, I think the least they can do is offer us some kind of compensation.
00:19:09But you feel all right?
00:19:10No thanks to them.
00:19:11If I do, I'm going to large burn my best dress into the bargain.
00:19:15What the wife means is, well, you don't hardly expect to drop asleep before dinner, do you?
00:19:22Well, we've established that whatever it was, was static, odourless, invisible.
00:19:27It didn't register on radar.
00:19:28It was non-metallic.
00:19:29It showed nothing on our Geiger counters.
00:19:31You've got the reports there, Gordon.
00:19:32There are no signs of any physical, biological, or psychological changes.
00:19:36Well, that's practically meaningless.
00:19:38For instance, serious exposure to X-rays or gamma rays need not have an immediate effect.
00:19:45But these people have to be kept under observation.
00:19:47And yourself?
00:19:48And my household.
00:19:50It would be tricky to put you all in the sanatorium.
00:19:52In any case, my instructions are to keep this whole incident out of the limelight.
00:19:56National security, eh?
00:19:58If you like.
00:19:59Well, until we know the cause, we shan't know what to expect.
00:20:03Since you're there, Gordon, suppose you keep an eye on Midwich Forest.
00:20:06If you do find anything, let us know through Alan.
00:20:08No need for any direct contact between us.
00:20:11More security, eh?
00:20:12Have a cautious.
00:20:14Gets under the skin, you know.
00:20:17I have.
00:20:19I have.
00:20:33I have.
00:20:52Anything else today, Mrs. Ellaby?
00:20:54No, that's all, thank you.
00:20:56I'll have to get in a new surprise, these pickles, if you go on like this.
00:20:59Yes, I do seem to be getting through a lot these days, don't I?
00:21:02That'll be 17 and 6. Slide into the account.
00:21:07Here, thank you.
00:21:08How's the professor?
00:21:10Oh, he's very well. Very well indeed.
00:21:13Good morning.
00:21:14Good morning.
00:21:20Miss Ogle, dear.
00:21:22Yes?
00:21:23I think there's going to be news up at Kyle Manor.
00:21:27News? What kind of news?
00:21:33Hello.
00:21:37I said hello.
00:21:39Oh.
00:21:41How long have you been here?
00:21:43Ages.
00:21:44Liar.
00:21:52Now, I've just discovered a fascinating thing.
00:21:54Here are the plant samples we took that day.
00:21:56Now, this one, for example, a perfectly ordinary pill of your names are gnarly.
00:21:59And you see what's happening?
00:22:00Exactly what you'd expect if I made a 50% of ground.
00:22:02Why did you kiss me like that?
00:22:05Oh, come on.
00:22:07What's the secret?
00:22:08Something's afoot.
00:22:09Why are you so happy?
00:22:12Val Gordon, I want you to sit down.
00:22:15Keep quite calm.
00:22:17There's nothing to worry about.
00:22:20Now.
00:22:22We have apparently succeeded in crossing a Xelope Gordoneus with a Xelope Anthium.
00:22:29Just what the results will be, we shan't know for some time yet.
00:22:36I think you should sit down.
00:22:39It is indeed.
00:22:40No.
00:22:41A drink.
00:22:42Well, that would be right.
00:22:44Feed her.
00:22:45Something to eat.
00:22:46Yes, please.
00:22:47What?
00:22:49Cheese, pickles, and half a dozen anchovies.
00:22:52Recently my favourite diet.
00:22:53Haven't you noticed?
00:22:55Mrs. Plumpton at the shop has.
00:22:57You've been too engrossed in my work.
00:22:59We'll change all that.
00:23:10Thank you, darling.
00:23:12You've made my happiness complete.
00:23:15But all the more so because I'm old enough to appreciate you.
00:23:19Darling, what was it you wanted?
00:23:22Cheese, pickles, and half a dozen anchovies.
00:23:39I'm afraid there's no doubt about it.
00:23:43Lily, I wish there was something I could say to comfort you because I know the sort of thing you'll
00:23:48have to put up with from some of the people in the village over this.
00:23:52But you can count on me to do anything I can to help you and your child.
00:23:55Do you think that I, do you think that I could?
00:23:58Lily, I've told you there's no doubt about it.
00:24:02Now, if there's anyone you want me to talk to about this.
00:24:05But I've never, it's impossible.
00:24:10It's impossible.
00:24:16This is some present, Jim.
00:24:18Thanks a lot.
00:24:19Where'd you say you got it?
00:24:20Tokyo?
00:24:21Oh, it's a real beauty.
00:24:23You can take action pictures in this light.
00:24:26Jan, look at me.
00:24:28When I learn to use this properly, I might go into the photo business.
00:24:31Jan, turn this way.
00:24:34That's right.
00:24:35I want to see you out.
00:24:36What's the matter with you?
00:24:38Jim comes back after a whole year away and he looks as if you were going to a funeral.
00:24:55An attempted suicide.
00:24:57Janet Paul, whose husband only came back from sea yesterday.
00:25:00Dreadful.
00:25:01Three other women in the village, half out of their minds.
00:25:04Millie Hughes, Rose Shepard and Mary Burnett.
00:25:06Please don't go.
00:25:07That's why we are asking you to tell us, Vicar.
00:25:09Please don't keep on.
00:25:11Don't you see that what you're asking me is, it's not right ethically.
00:25:16Oh, for heaven's sake, Vicar.
00:25:17How do you think I feel?
00:25:20I married late in life, when my wife told me that she was going to have a baby.
00:25:24It was the happiest moment I've ever known.
00:25:27Don't talk to me about ethics.
00:25:29Don't you see that this is something which concerns all of us?
00:25:32That this is the one moment when it is your duty to break confidence?
00:25:39Very well.
00:25:40Four of them have been to see me.
00:25:42One of them is only 17.
00:25:45You've been hanging?
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:47She was terribly frightened, and frankly, so am I.
00:25:50I know these girls.
00:25:51I've watched them grow up.
00:25:52And when they tell me that they have no way of accounting for their condition, well, I'm compelled to believe
00:25:56them.
00:26:00Every woman in this village who is capable of childbirth is going to have a baby.
00:26:04I can't believe it.
00:26:06This is not a matter of belief, Vicar.
00:26:08It's a matter of fact.
00:26:09And there's something else.
00:26:11All this seems to date from that day two months ago when Midwich was cut off from the rest of
00:26:16the world.
00:26:36Who's next?
00:26:39Who's next?
00:27:21This is Anthea Zalapis, Doctor.
00:27:27Let's have a look at it.
00:27:39It's one of the most perfectly formed embryos I've ever seen.
00:27:44Yes, but is it normal?
00:27:48It's more than normal.
00:27:50It's a seven-month embryo after only five months.
00:28:06It's all right, darling.
00:28:07I've seen the x-rays, and it's a fine specimen.
00:28:10Dr. Willis says it's perfect, absolutely normal.
00:28:13That should make us very happy.
00:28:15Well, it's going to be all right.
00:28:17Is it?
00:28:18Is that what you believe?
00:28:23You're tired, darling.
00:28:25That's right.
00:28:26I'm tired.
00:28:28And do you know why?
00:28:29Because every night I lie awake and worry.
00:28:32Well, now you don't have to worry anymore.
00:28:34You don't really believe that, do you?
00:28:36Dr. Willis says...
00:28:37I don't care what Dr. Willis says.
00:28:39Right, so it's not a monster.
00:28:40It's a perfect specimen.
00:28:42But what does that tell me?
00:28:43You're going to have a baby.
00:28:46Who's baby?
00:28:47Yours?
00:28:49Does it tell me what kind of life is growing inside me?
00:28:51What sort of brain it has?
00:28:53Where it comes from?
00:28:54Does it tell me that?
00:28:55Where does it come from?
00:28:59We must stop it.
00:29:00We've got to be rational about this.
00:29:03We may not be any better off than any of the others,
00:29:05but there's absolutely nothing we can do but wait.
00:29:07Gordon.
00:29:09Maybe it's ours, maybe it isn't.
00:29:11If it's ours, we shall know.
00:29:12If it isn't...
00:29:12Gordon.
00:29:16I'm so afraid.
00:29:23I'm so afraid.
00:29:49No.
00:30:13I'm so Training on the lockdown.
00:30:15I'm karış色lig.
00:31:31I hope that none of them lives.
00:31:38What a ridiculous way to behave.
00:31:45It's a terribly busy, Mr. Zellerby, but doctors have to tell you that Mrs. Zellerby's fine.
00:31:49And the baby?
00:31:50Perfect.
00:31:51In every respect?
00:31:52Oh, pardon.
00:31:53You got a cigarette?
00:31:54How about the baby?
00:31:55Oh, splendid.
00:31:56Unusually heavy, though.
00:31:57Ten pounds, eight ounces.
00:32:00Straight lies.
00:32:01Oh, I shouldn't go in there.
00:32:04A cigarette?
00:32:06Yes, of course.
00:32:09How many others have been delivered so far tonight?
00:32:12Alty is my third.
00:32:15What about there, Wade?
00:32:17Or slightly over ten pounds?
00:32:21All but these strange eyes.
00:32:27All that worried.
00:32:29Enough.
00:32:31God, have you seen him?
00:32:35Such a beautiful baby.
00:32:54I do love you so.
00:33:01He's probably jealous.
00:33:06Now, be quiet, Luna.
00:33:07Lie down and behave yourself.
00:33:09No.
00:33:22Hansel, isn't he?
00:33:30Take a look at this, Doctor.
00:33:32A section of hair.
00:33:37Yes.
00:33:38It's flat on one side.
00:33:40On the other, an arc.
00:33:42Somewhat in the shape of a
00:33:44narrow capital D.
00:33:45It belongs to my son, David.
00:33:48Have you ever seen such a hair type before?
00:33:53Have you noticed their nails?
00:33:55Yes, they're narrower than ours.
00:33:57Covering less of the upper surface of the digit,
00:33:59but as flat as normal nails.
00:34:02What did the blood test show?
00:34:04It's too early to tell.
00:34:06The blood circulating at present
00:34:07is too loud in the mother's group.
00:34:09So they are apparently normal children
00:34:11with these exceptions.
00:34:12Strange eyes,
00:34:14arresting, I would say,
00:34:15an unknown hair group,
00:34:17and unusual fingernails.
00:34:21Whatever they are,
00:34:21their physical development
00:34:22is absolutely startling.
00:34:24In the point of time,
00:34:25they're four months old,
00:34:27but their development of capabilities
00:34:28is that of 18 months.
00:34:34Sarah, please,
00:34:35Sarah, may you wait for me?
00:34:36Oh, no, please.
00:34:37Ah!
00:34:43Oh, stop, sir.
00:34:44Sure, stop.
00:34:53Oh, stop.
00:34:58Oh, what happened?
00:35:03I was giving David his bottle.
00:35:08I must have forgotten the test.
00:35:10It was too hot for him.
00:35:14He's badded out.
00:35:15You just seem to glare at him.
00:35:18Get my bag from the car.
00:35:19Is that for you reason
00:35:20to scrawl yourself?
00:35:21Thank you very much.
00:35:55This box is a product of oriental ingenuity.
00:35:57There are no visible means of opening it, but if you do just what I've shown you, it comes
00:36:03over.
00:36:03Now, see if you can do it.
00:36:04Here we go.
00:36:29Now, see if you can do it, it shows that I was right to marry your sister.
00:36:40Your family has brains.
00:36:45Now, watch this.
00:36:49And remember that he's only one year old.
00:36:53Go on, open it, David.
00:36:57Yes, there's something inside.
00:37:00It's a chocolate.
00:37:20Come along.
00:37:21Time for your bar.
00:37:23Oh, this is fantastic.
00:37:27You think so?
00:37:31Come with me.
00:37:33It's all right, David.
00:37:34It's only a box for the chocolates.
00:37:36I don't know, sir.
00:37:37I'll never lie to have chocolates.
00:37:38Well, it's quite harmless, really.
00:37:40I just gave something to them.
00:38:07But you didn't even show her how to do it.
00:38:09Well, that's exactly my point.
00:38:10I didn't have to.
00:38:12If you demonstrate something to one of them, they all know it.
00:38:16Now, watch.
00:38:25Oh, Keith, give it back to him.
00:38:27At once.
00:38:30Oh, of course.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:40:20Ted Brouwer, you've come inside this moment.
00:40:22I've told you about playing with those children before.
00:40:30There's my privilege.
00:40:32We're always all together.
00:40:33It's his turn to study.
00:40:34Is it your home?
00:40:36It's his home, too.
00:40:39You're anxious for us to leave, aren't you?
00:40:42You have the same every week.
00:40:4412 jars, 15 shillings.
00:40:53You wish we wouldn't come here any more, Mrs. Plumpton.
00:40:56I never say it.
00:40:58It's what you're thinking.
00:41:00You've nothing to fear from us.
00:41:02However, in future, someone else will come for our order.
00:41:06Goodbye, Mrs. Plumpton.
00:41:08Good afternoon, Miss Ogle.
00:41:33All ready, Gordon.
00:41:37A coffee?
00:41:39No, thanks.
00:41:44Gordon, do you think Anthea should know about this conference?
00:41:48What's being discussed?
00:41:48There's no reason to alarm her just because you're alarmed.
00:41:54I'm going to do a cold scientific detachment.
00:41:58People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ.
00:42:02What's important about them is whether they're good or bad.
00:42:05And these children are bad to everyone but you.
00:42:08But they are children, Alan.
00:42:09And children are not born with a sense of moral values.
00:42:12They have to be taught.
00:42:14With their intellect, that should be simple.
00:42:15Intellect?
00:42:16Intellect?
00:42:17That's all you care about.
00:42:18What if you can't teach them?
00:42:20What if you can't put the break of morals on them?
00:42:24First, we must try.
00:42:25You're blinded by this vision of intellect.
00:42:27You see David as another Einstein.
00:42:28Potentially greater.
00:42:30Solving the riddle of the universe.
00:42:31Your son, David.
00:42:34Anthea's son.
00:42:35I have no proof that he's mine.
00:42:58Where's father gone?
00:43:00To London.
00:43:01We must hurry, David.
00:43:03Why?
00:43:07You'll be late.
00:43:08No, I meant...
00:43:09Why has he gone to London?
00:43:11He has some business there.
00:43:13What sort of business?
00:43:15Conference.
00:43:18Don't you like me to help you, David?
00:43:20Thank you, but I'm old enough to do things for myself.
00:43:24Father agrees with that.
00:43:28Darling, your finger.
00:43:31Let me do that.
00:43:33It doesn't hurt.
00:43:35Please don't fuss.
00:43:36I'd like to incept it.
00:43:39There.
00:43:40There.
00:43:43You said I must hurry.
00:43:46Goodbye, mother.
00:43:49Goodbye, David.
00:43:51Gentlemen,
00:43:53as the Home Secretary
00:43:54has permitted this disclosure,
00:43:56I can now inform you
00:43:57that Midwich
00:43:58is not the only colony
00:44:00of such children.
00:44:02Here,
00:44:03at the township in Northern Australia,
00:44:0530 infants were born in one day.
00:44:07Apparently something went wrong.
00:44:09All the children died
00:44:10within 10 hours of birth.
00:44:13In an Eskimo community,
00:44:14there were 10 births.
00:44:16The community didn't take kindly to this.
00:44:19Golden-haired babies,
00:44:20born of black-haired mothers,
00:44:21violated the taboos.
00:44:23None survived.
00:44:25In the Communist world,
00:44:26there were two time-outs,
00:44:28similar to the one at Midwich.
00:44:30One,
00:44:30at Irkutsk,
00:44:31here,
00:44:32on the borders of Outer Mongolia.
00:44:34A grim affair.
00:44:35The men killed the children
00:44:37and their mothers.
00:44:39Second,
00:44:39in the mountains of the Northwest,
00:44:41all the children survived.
00:44:43Our reports,
00:44:44though limited,
00:44:45indicate that they're receiving education
00:44:46on the highest level.
00:44:49All these time-outs
00:44:50happened on the same day
00:44:51as the one at Midwich.
00:44:54This is now three years ago.
00:44:56Haven't we established anything
00:44:56about the origins of these children?
00:44:58There's very little to go on.
00:45:00Zeleby,
00:45:01you must have some theory.
00:45:02Yes.
00:45:02I suggest that Zeleby
00:45:03may be somewhat too intimately involved.
00:45:05My position as a dubious father
00:45:07is influencing my scientific detachment.
00:45:09Is that what you think?
00:45:10I have reason to believe so.
00:45:11Well, let's hear
00:45:12what the others have to say.
00:45:15Dr. Carlisle?
00:45:17I went into the question of mutation.
00:45:20Once in a great many thousand years,
00:45:22an abrupt jump may take place
00:45:23in animal or in vegetable life.
00:45:26A new variation suddenly occurs
00:45:28for no apparent reason.
00:45:29Would that explain
00:45:30why entire groups of people
00:45:31were cut off
00:45:32for periods of several hours?
00:45:33No, sir.
00:45:34It would not.
00:45:35Very well.
00:45:36Any other line of thought?
00:45:38Yes.
00:45:38There is the possibility
00:45:40of the transmission
00:45:41of energy.
00:45:42May I put it this way?
00:45:45Already,
00:45:46we can direct radar beams
00:45:47out into space
00:45:48with the utmost accuracy.
00:45:51Electrical impulses
00:45:52have been bounced off the moon
00:45:53and we are continually
00:45:54receiving impulses
00:45:56from other planets and stars.
00:45:58And impulses
00:45:59are energy and matter.
00:46:00We're aware of that,
00:46:02Professor Smith.
00:46:02Where does it take us?
00:46:03The professor and I think alike.
00:46:05What we can do,
00:46:06others,
00:46:07elsewhere in the universe,
00:46:08may be able to do better.
00:46:09Exactly.
00:46:11To get this straight,
00:46:12you imply that these children
00:46:13may be the result
00:46:14of impulses
00:46:15directed towards us
00:46:16from somewhere
00:46:17in the universe.
00:46:18Well, of course,
00:46:18that's just a theory,
00:46:19but there's nothing
00:46:19to disprove it.
00:46:21They may be a case
00:46:22of mutation.
00:46:23They may be
00:46:23the world's new people.
00:46:25What we need is time
00:46:27to investigate.
00:46:28Time!
00:46:29Just a moment,
00:46:29Celibet.
00:46:30General Layton,
00:46:31you tell me of some
00:46:32developments of Midwich.
00:46:33What are they?
00:46:34A series of casualties,
00:46:35mostly among the village children.
00:46:37In each case,
00:46:38after some contact
00:46:38with the others.
00:46:40Children get into fights
00:46:41all over the world.
00:46:42These were not fights
00:46:43in the normal sense.
00:46:44No direct physical violence
00:46:46was involved,
00:46:47but two weeks ago,
00:46:48a boy,
00:46:49a good swimmer,
00:46:49was drowned
00:46:50in the Midwich Pond
00:46:51for no logical reason.
00:46:52Children also have accidents.
00:46:54Gordon,
00:46:55you've seen it for yourself.
00:46:57The extraordinary power
00:46:58these children have.
00:46:59The sinister way
00:47:00they use it.
00:47:01Extraordinary power,
00:47:02certainly.
00:47:03Yes, that's precisely
00:47:03why we need time.
00:47:05To have you.
00:47:06It's only a matter of time
00:47:07before these children
00:47:08get entirely out of hand
00:47:09with fatal consequences.
00:47:12What do you suggest?
00:47:13That they be shut away.
00:47:14They've been put in prison.
00:47:16I'm saying yes.
00:47:17We might as well
00:47:18do away with them altogether.
00:47:19This isn't the police thing.
00:47:21Yes.
00:47:21But don't you see
00:47:22what you're doing?
00:47:23If you imprison them,
00:47:24you will deprive
00:47:25the scientific world
00:47:26of the greatest opportunity
00:47:27it has ever had.
00:47:28Opportunity for what?
00:47:30Well, study.
00:47:31Gentlemen,
00:47:32a great deal has been said here
00:47:34about the power
00:47:34of these children,
00:47:35but nothing about
00:47:36the nature of this power.
00:47:37What we are dealing with
00:47:38is a mass mind,
00:47:40an entirely new development,
00:47:42like a colony of ants
00:47:44and bees.
00:47:46These children
00:47:46all want to dress alike,
00:47:48and what one learns,
00:47:49they all learn.
00:47:50I've demonstrated this
00:47:51to Ellen Burnett.
00:47:52They are one mind
00:47:54to the twelfth power.
00:47:55Now, just think
00:47:56what it would mean
00:47:57if we could guide it.
00:47:58We could leap forward
00:47:59in science a hundred years.
00:48:01At the risk of being destroyed.
00:48:03What cannot be understood
00:48:04must be put away.
00:48:05Is that your view,
00:48:06the age-old fear
00:48:07of the unknown?
00:48:08On the other hand,
00:48:09Lévy,
00:48:09Leighton has a point.
00:48:10There is a potential danger here.
00:48:12We are gathered here
00:48:13as advisors,
00:48:14as scientists,
00:48:15as government experts.
00:48:17Now, take a look
00:48:18at our world.
00:48:19Have we made
00:48:20a good job of it?
00:48:21Who is to say
00:48:22that these children
00:48:22are not the answer?
00:48:24The answer to what?
00:48:25Well, to wars,
00:48:26to disease,
00:48:26to human want and misery,
00:48:28to all of the problems
00:48:29we've been unable
00:48:29to cope with.
00:48:30If they don't make
00:48:31an end of us
00:48:31in the meantime.
00:48:32We cannot throw away
00:48:33this potential
00:48:34just because of
00:48:35a few incidents.
00:48:36What is your suggestion?
00:48:36I'll compromise
00:48:38with Lévy.
00:48:38Let them live together
00:48:40under one roof
00:48:40in our village
00:48:41where they can be
00:48:42kept under observation.
00:48:43My department
00:48:43couldn't accept
00:48:44the responsibility.
00:48:45I personally
00:48:46will assume
00:48:46full responsibility.
00:48:48Just give me a year.
00:48:49Mr. Home Secretary,
00:48:50I can't agree to this.
00:48:51But all I ask
00:48:52is a year.
00:48:53Now, surely
00:48:54that's not too much time
00:48:55when so much is at stake.
00:48:57Just give me
00:48:58one year.
00:49:05Very well.
00:49:06I will officially
00:49:07recommend your compromise.
00:49:09Thank you, gentlemen.
00:49:19That's as far
00:49:20as we shall go today.
00:49:22Our next lecture
00:49:23will be with structure.
00:49:25And by the way,
00:49:26don't forget
00:49:26you'll be living here
00:49:27from tomorrow.
00:49:28Now.
00:49:34Why do you smile?
00:49:36David?
00:49:37You don't know
00:49:38how to put your question.
00:49:42There isn't much point
00:49:43in my trying to be subtle,
00:49:44is there?
00:49:45The question I was going to put
00:49:47was...
00:49:47Why am I...
00:49:51Just how deep
00:49:52do you see into my mind?
00:49:54Everything that's
00:49:55in the front of your mind.
00:49:56The thought processes?
00:49:58The reasoning
00:49:59that leads to my spoken word?
00:50:01We still have to master that.
00:50:03It'll come.
00:50:05Hmm.
00:50:05Well, that's frank.
00:50:06Thank you, David.
00:50:08At least I still
00:50:09have some privacy.
00:50:12Now, the question
00:50:12I want to ask is this.
00:50:14Are you aware
00:50:15of life on another planet?
00:50:25And let me put it this way.
00:50:27It is possible
00:50:28that life exists elsewhere,
00:50:30isn't it?
00:50:37We don't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:50:40Father,
00:50:41why are you so nervous
00:50:42when an aircraft
00:50:42flies above you?
00:50:43You're very observant, Father.
00:50:47Yes, that doesn't
00:50:47answer my question.
00:50:49All right.
00:50:50Until recently,
00:50:51we haven't been able
00:50:52to make our control
00:50:53reach as far
00:50:54as a high aircraft.
00:50:55Well, now you have.
00:50:56Is that it?
00:51:00What are you going to do
00:51:01with that power?
00:51:03Father,
00:51:04we know what you're
00:51:05trying to find out.
00:51:07it'd be better
00:51:08if you didn't ask
00:51:09these questions.
00:51:11We want to learn
00:51:12from you.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:15That'll be all for today.
00:51:22David?
00:51:23Yes, Father?
00:51:28Now, what holds you?
00:51:32What I meant was
00:51:33that you don't have to go,
00:51:35David,
00:51:35if you don't want to.
00:51:37I'd rather go.
00:51:38You mean that
00:51:39because the others
00:51:40are moving into the school
00:51:41you feel that you must do?
00:51:42Is that the logic?
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:44Your mother is quite
00:51:45distressed about it.
00:51:46I don't really know
00:51:47why I should be.
00:51:49Lots of parents
00:51:49send their children
00:51:50away to school
00:51:51and David will only
00:51:52be half a mile away.
00:51:53I suppose there's nothing
00:51:55that'll make you
00:51:55change your mind.
00:51:57No.
00:52:02I think that's all.
00:52:32I'm fairly sorry.
00:52:33It was all my fault.
00:52:36You all right?
00:52:42I don't know.
00:52:45I don't know.
00:52:54I don't know.
00:53:01I think that was all my fault.
00:53:03You all right?
00:53:05You're right.
00:53:06You're right.
00:53:07Oh, my God.
00:53:37I wish you would be more specific in your testimony.
00:53:40I know these things are difficult,
00:53:42but it's our obligation to determine the responsibility for this man's death.
00:53:48I find it very difficult to remember.
00:53:54I...
00:53:55I...
00:53:56You told Constable Gobby you heard the screech of his brakes.
00:54:01Yes, that's right.
00:54:04He...
00:54:08He got out of the car.
00:54:17Then what did he do, Mrs. Zellerby?
00:54:21Then he...
00:54:24He got back into the car.
00:54:30And drove straight for the wall.
00:54:35Thank you, Mrs. Zellerby.
00:54:36I don't think we need to go any further.
00:54:39It seems to me quite apparent what happened here.
00:54:42Edward Paul, the deceased, his vision obscured,
00:54:46came close to striking and injuring a child.
00:54:49Then, obviously, a nervous shock struck the wall.
00:54:54I recommend that you bring in a verdict of accident and death.
00:54:57Mrs. Zellerby, you know, they killed him.
00:55:00What do you mean?
00:55:01Ask them!
00:55:02Just ask them!
00:55:06Who is that man?
00:55:08James Paul, sir.
00:55:09Brother of the deceased.
00:55:19Gordon, can't you see now that Midwich is living on top of a volcano?
00:55:22A force is building up.
00:55:24Sooner or later, it's bound to explode.
00:55:25We still haven't any proof.
00:55:27For heaven's sake, how much more proof do you need?
00:55:29The death of James Paul?
00:55:30Alan, I'm much more aware of the situation than you think.
00:55:41Jim!
00:55:42Why not?
00:55:42Look what they did to my brother.
00:55:43This won't bring it back.
00:55:44Who's going to stop them if I don't try?
00:55:46You can't stop them with that.
00:55:47Believe me.
00:55:49They're not human.
00:55:50They ought to be destroyed.
00:55:51Go home, Jim.
00:55:52I said go home.
00:55:53Leave here now before they get me closer.
00:56:00All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:32I said go home.
00:57:00I said go home.
00:57:41I said go home.
00:57:44I said go home.
00:58:04Oh, all right, all right. I'm responsible. I never denied it.
00:58:08It's quite possible that but for me, these two men would still be alive.
00:58:12I was over optimistic.
00:58:13There's quite a shindig in London. They may be after your blood gore.
00:58:15Do you think I care a rap about that?
00:58:17What beats me is that I have failed to reach the children.
00:58:19But the point is they're shouting for action.
00:58:21Now, things have gone too far.
00:58:23The village is very near panicking.
00:58:25If only I could get inside the children's minds and read their thoughts,
00:58:29and quite obviously they can read ours.
00:58:31Yes.
00:58:31Doesn't that assume they have thoughts and minds as we understand them?
00:58:37Alan, it's for you, General Layton.
00:58:41Excuse me.
00:58:44Yes, sir?
00:58:49I see, yes, sir.
00:58:53It's as though their minds were surrounded by a brick wall.
00:59:01I could break through it.
00:59:03Yes, sir, sir.
00:59:05Have I your permission to pass this on?
00:59:08Right, thank you, sir.
00:59:09Goodbye.
00:59:11Goodbye.
00:59:17I'm afraid there have been grave developments.
00:59:20The Russian army group in the Western Urals is equipped with a new type of gun.
00:59:24It can project a shell up to 60 miles, an atomic shell.
00:59:29Apparently they tried it out yesterday.
00:59:32On the village of Raminsk, where their children live.
00:59:36The village of Raminsk no longer exists.
00:59:40You mean everyone there, the entire place.
00:59:44They gave no warning.
00:59:45They couldn't evacuate the villagers without the children, knowing what was to happen.
00:59:48They developed more quickly than ours.
00:59:50They'd begun to take control.
00:59:53An attempt to move them with soldiers proved disastrous to the troops and the adults.
00:59:58I see.
01:00:00So now I suppose we're going to blow Midwich off the face of the earth.
01:00:05No.
01:00:07In a view of recent events, I feel your compromise has failed.
01:00:12Layton feels you ought to move immediately before it's too late.
01:00:15Destroy them.
01:00:17Well, they're meeting tonight to come to a decision.
01:00:22They want me in town.
01:00:44What I say is, it's got to stop.
01:00:49First aid, then Jim Paul.
01:00:51The authorities don't do nothing.
01:00:53Are we going to wait until we all get wiped out?
01:00:56Come on, camera!
01:00:57Those of them with me, follow me!
01:00:59Come on, cover!
01:00:59Come on, come on!
01:01:29Come on, come on!
01:01:59Come on!
01:02:35Come on!
01:02:59Come on!
01:03:38Come on!
01:03:42Come on!
01:03:53Come on!
01:04:23Come on!
01:04:53Come on!
01:04:55Leave us alone!
01:04:58Leave us alone!
01:05:02Come on!
01:05:04Come on!
01:05:05Come on!
01:05:24He's out of danger now.
01:05:25Go to the library.
01:05:26I'll join you there.
01:05:30Come on!
01:05:30I've never seen a severe case of shock as this.
01:05:32It's medically impossible.
01:05:35For a while he was totally paralyzed.
01:05:38Now his pupils are returning to normal.
01:05:43His pulse is less rapid.
01:05:45His color is returning.
01:05:48I've never seen anything like this before.
01:05:52It's time London sent in some troops.
01:05:54I talked to General Layton.
01:05:56Troops are not the answer.
01:05:59Children will only make them shoot one another.
01:06:03Tonight should be enough for all of us, even me.
01:06:05What is the answer then?
01:06:06I don't know.
01:06:07But no more people must be hurt.
01:06:11Is there no limit to the power of these children?
01:06:15No more than there is a limit to the mind.
01:06:24David, what do you want here?
01:06:25I should have thought-
01:06:26I want to speak to my father.
01:06:35David, why do you do these dreadful things?
01:06:39Wherever it is you come from, you're part of us now.
01:06:44Don't you learn to live with us and help us live with you?
01:06:48I want to speak to my father.
01:06:51The effects seem to me worrying.
01:06:54Major Burn, it'll be all right.
01:06:57What we did was only to warn him.
01:07:00And all of you.
01:07:03Leave us, Hanthea.
01:07:04Please.
01:07:17You are not afraid of us.
01:07:22Well, I'm sorry, David.
01:07:23I'm sorry I was wrong about you.
01:07:25If you didn't suffer from emotions, from feelings,
01:07:28you could be as powerful as we are.
01:07:31Yes.
01:07:33You'll never reach our minds.
01:07:35I've come to say it's time for us to go.
01:07:38Go where?
01:07:40Away from here before they try to destroy us.
01:07:44What will you do?
01:07:45Spread out and disperse.
01:07:48Soon we'll have reached the stage when we can form new colonies.
01:07:51In the meantime, we've attracted too much attention.
01:07:54You must help us to leave.
01:07:59How would you wish me to help you?
01:08:02You'll arrange a method of getting us away from here without attracting attention.
01:08:07You'll find a number of families spread over the country that'll take us in.
01:08:12Yes. Well, that'll take a bit of organizing.
01:08:14I'll need a few days.
01:08:16Yes. And be sure no one finds out.
01:08:19Otherwise, more people will be hurt.
01:08:23You'll tell us the arrangements you've made when you come to give us our lesson on Friday.
01:08:28David.
01:08:29You won't be able to deceive us. You know that, don't you?
01:08:33Yes, I know that.
01:08:34Very well. Let us know your arrangements on Friday.
01:08:42Good night, Father.
01:08:44Good night, David.
01:08:45Good night.
01:08:57A brick wall.
01:09:03All right now?
01:09:04The sight's still a bit foggy, but clearing all the time.
01:09:11I'll just go and tell Gordon.
01:09:17Remember this?
01:09:19You wore a dark blue dress.
01:09:22Your hair was longer then.
01:09:25Caught the moonlight.
01:09:36We're ready, Gordon.
01:09:37Good.
01:09:41I wish you'd...
01:09:42It's 8.15. You'll be in London by 9.30.
01:09:45I wish you'd let me stay here.
01:09:47Oh, come with us.
01:09:48Well, you know that isn't possible.
01:09:50I have things to do here.
01:09:51The poor old Arnd would go into the nearest street if we let him drive.
01:09:54Nothing like feeling useless.
01:09:56You're still going to see the children tonight?
01:09:59Yes.
01:10:00Every Wednesday and Friday.
01:10:02After what happened?
01:10:03Especially after what happened.
01:10:04I think I've found a way of getting through to them.
01:10:07If I'm right, we'll have no further trouble.
01:10:09How?
01:10:10I'll tell you if I succeed.
01:10:12Now, come on.
01:10:13I don't want you to be on the road all night.
01:10:17Here, now.
01:10:18This isn't like you.
01:10:20I know it.
01:10:22It's silly of me, but I'm afraid of them.
01:10:25And I'm afraid of you whenever you're with them.
01:10:28They won't harm me.
01:10:30In a strange way, they trust me.
01:10:33Why, even David seems to accept me.
01:10:36Divorced from my emotions, of course.
01:10:39All right?
01:10:42Off you go.
01:10:46Alan, look after her for me.
01:10:50I'll give you a ring in the morning.
01:10:52Yes.
01:10:54In the morning.
01:10:56Flaring.
01:11:08All right.
01:11:10Follow me.
01:11:19Thanks for listening.
01:11:20Thank you for listening.
01:11:21All right.
01:11:21Bye.
01:11:22Bye.
01:11:23Bye.
01:11:24Bye.
01:12:26This thing is a brick wall.
01:12:35I'm sorry, old man.
01:12:37Look out, um...
01:12:40Look out, your mistress.
01:12:44Look out.
01:13:16Alan, what did he mean?
01:13:19What?
01:13:21Why should he ask you to take care of me?
01:13:25Just a manner of speech, I suppose.
01:13:43What's the matter?
01:13:45Alan, I'm going back.
01:13:47Why?
01:13:48I'm going back.
01:13:59Good evening, children.
01:14:01Tonight we shall talk about atomic energy
01:14:03and how discoveries made about a hundred years ago
01:14:07completely changed our conception of the elements and the place of the atom.
01:14:12If you were to tell us tonight what arrangements you've made for us.
01:14:17The place of the atom.
01:14:20It's 8.27.
01:14:23Why are you nervous?
01:14:27The arrangements, yes.
01:14:29Yes, I'll tell you about those in a few moments.
01:14:33But first of all, I want to finish my lesson.
01:14:36The question of atomic energy.
01:14:40You're not thinking of atomic energy.
01:14:45You're thinking of...
01:14:49A brick wall.
01:14:52A brick wall.
01:14:54A brick wall.
01:14:55I must think of a brick wall.
01:14:59A brick wall.
01:15:01I must think of a brick wall.
01:15:05A brick wall.
01:15:11I must think of a brick wall.
01:15:17A brick wall.
01:15:20A brick wall.
01:15:20A brick wall.
01:15:21A brick wall.
01:15:23A brick wall.
01:15:24A brick wall.
01:15:27Oh
01:16:02Oh
