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?
00:02:35Hello?
00:02:51Hello?
00:02:53Hello?
00:02:54Hello?
00:02:55Hello?
00:02:58Hello?
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, Alan, give me a ring later.
00:05:35I'll be here till 5.
00:05:36Thank you, sir.
00:05:38Well, Alan.
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.
00:06:43Better have a look.
00:06:58Again, I've I'll be there.
00:07:19All right, Alan, you'd better get hold of the local area commander.
00:07:22What's his name?
00:07:23Ford Johnson, sir.
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're having the results.
00:07:39Right, sir.
00:07:41Get me Southeast in command, please.
00:07:45Over here, Sergeant.
00:08:30You need them go in if you don't want to.
00:08:31I'll have a go, sir.
00:08:33Quite sure?
00:08:33Sir.
00:08:42Open up!
00:08:52I kept it now.
00:08:55Well, we'll make you a razor.
00:09:08Just a minute.
00:09:09Oh, hello, doctor.
00:09:10Glad you're here.
00:09:11We may need you.
00:09:30What's wrong with you?
00:09:31He's not trying to find out.
00:09:35Will you take a look at him, doc?
00:09:37I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:44This 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 ten 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 are in the same state as this man.
00:10:13All 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, penetrate our respirators, do 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.
00:10:32The 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 to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:57Midwich to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:58Can you see anything?
00:11:00Over.
00:11:02Everything looks all right from here.
00:11:04Over.
00:11:05Maybe a sweet tooth.
00:11:08Hello, Charlie Alpha.
00:11:09This is Major Bernard's week.
00:11:11Can 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.
00:11:32Take it down slowly, but pull up the minute you feel anything.
00:11:35Feel anything, sir?
00:11:37Anything I'm using.
00:11:40Watch up.
00:11:48Cool.
00:11:49Nothing moving, sir.
00:11:50Taking it down.
00:11:52Careful now.
00:12:03Easy.
00:12:08Easy.
00:12:12Easy.
00:12:14Easy.
00:12:19Easy.
00:12:22Easy.
00:12:23Easy.
00:12:23Easy.
00:12:24Easy.
00:12:26Easy.
00:12:27Easy.
00:12:27Easy.
00:12:29Easy.
00:12:56There's another aircraft approaching, sent out a general warning immediately.
00:12:59All aircraft to avoid this area are not to drop below 5,000 feet.
00:13:02Yes, sir.
00:13:03Midwich to base, midwich to base, emergency, I say again, emergency, on all aircraft to avoid area, 5 miles 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.
00:13:40Blimey, look!
00:13:41Blimey, look!
00:13:53Blimey, look!
00:13:54Blimey, look!
00:13:59Blimey, look!
00:14:07Blimey, look!
00:14:32Oh
00:15:24Oh, darling, I'm sorry. I must have dozed off. Look at the time. It's almost three o'clock. Why didn't
00:15:37you call me?
00:15:41Well, I'd better go and see a bad lunch.
00:15:47Anthea?
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... did we faint?
00:16:19We must have blacked out.
00:16:20Why?
00:16:25Well, I... I have... quite numb.
00:16:33Gordon, 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? I 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, you see.
00:17:08It must have been some sort of slow week in the gas.
00:17:10It wasn't only you two. The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:12The village?
00:17:13All of Madrid was cut off from the outside world for several hours.
00:18:07Oh, Mr's Thereby.
00:18:09Sir. Yes, Ms. Er voor.
00:18:10Are these people from the Telephone Company?
00:18:13Not the telephone company, do you?
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.
00:18:41Farm pipe?
00:18:42Even the bark on the trees, but I don't think...
00:18:43Don't forget insects, grasses, water, metals.
00:18:46The sooner and more elaborate these tests can be made, the better.
00:18:48Yes, sir.
00:18:49It's quite all right. This is Professor Gordon Zalibay.
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, hello, Mrs. Harrington.
00:19:05Well, I think the least they can do
00:19:07is offer us some kind of compensation.
00:19:09But you feel all right?
00:19:10No thanks to them if I do.
00:19:12And a large burn my best dress into the bargain.
00:19:15What the wife means is...
00:19:16Well, you don't hardly expect to drop asleep before dinner, do you?
00:19:22We've established that whatever it was
00:19:24was 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.
00:20:38Gets under the skin, you know.
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 supply of 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, uh, 17 and 6.
00:21:05Slide into the account.
00:21:07Here, thank you.
00:21:08Oh, how's the professor?
00:21:10Oh, he's very well.
00:21:11Very well indeed.
00:21:13Good morning.
00:21:14Good morning.
00:21:17Good morning.
00:21:20Miss Ogle, dear.
00:21:21Yes?
00:21:23I think there's going to be news up at Kyle Manor.
00:21:27News?
00:21:28What kind of news?
00:21:33Hello.
00:21:37I said hello.
00:21:39Hello.
00:21:41How long have you been here?
00:21:43Ages.
00:21:44Liar.
00:21:52I'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 name is a 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.
00:22:16Keep quite calm.
00:22:17There's nothing to worry about.
00:22:21Now, we 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.
00:23:51But you can count on me to do anything I can to help you and your child.
00:23:55Do you think that I...
00:23:57Do you think that I can't...
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...
00:24:08It'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...
00:25:14It'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.
00:25:22When my wife told me that she was going to have a baby, it was the happiest moment I've ever
00:25:25known.
00:25:27Don't talk to me about ethics.
00:25:28Don'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.
00:25:44You've been hanging.
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:46She was terribly frightened.
00:25:48And 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.
00:25:59The thing is that every 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 Midwitch was cut off from the rest of
00:26:16the world.
00:26:37Who's next?
00:26:38Who's next?
00:27:20Who's next?
00:27:39Who's next?
00:27:40It'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.
00:28:11Absolutely normal.
00:28:13That should make us very happy.
00:28:15But 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...
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.
00:28:46Whose 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 afraid.
00:29:23I'm so afraid.
00:29:31I'm so afraid.
00:30:22I'm so afraid.
00:30:37I'm so afraid.
00:30:54I want to know.
00:30:55I'm so afraid.
00:31:31I hope that none of them lives.
00:31:38That's a ridiculous way to behave.
00:31:45It's a terribly busy, Mr. Zelleby, but doctor said to tell you that Mrs. Zelleby's fine.
00:31:49And the baby?
00:31:50Perfect.
00:31:51In every respect?
00:31:52Pardon?
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.
00:31:59Strange eyes.
00:32:02Oh, 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 their weight?
00:32:17All slightly over ten pounds.
00:32:19All of these stranger eyes.
00:32:26All that worried.
00:32:29Now, God, have you seen him?
00:32:35He's such 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.
00:33:22Handsome, man.
00:33:22Handsome, they're new here.
00:33:25Handsome.
00:33:30Take a look at this, doctor.
00:33:32The section of hair.
00:33:37Yes, it's flat on one side. On the other, an arc, somewhat in the shape of a narrow capital D.
00:33:45It belongs to my son, David. Have you ever seen such a hair type before?
00:33:53Have you noticed their nails?
00:33:55Yes, they're narrower than ours, covering less of the upper surface of the digit, but as flat as normal nails.
00:34:03What did the blood test show?
00:34:04It's too early to tell. The blood circulating at present is still out of the mother's group.
00:34:09So they are apparently normal children, with these exceptions.
00:34:13Strange eyes, arresting I would say, an unknown hair group, and unusual fingernails.
00:34:21Well, if they are, their physical development is absolutely startling.
00:34:24At the point of time, they are four months old, but their development of capabilities is that of 18 months.
00:34:34What happened?
00:34:34No, please.
00:34:37No.
00:34:43No.
00:34:44No.
00:34:52No.
00:34:58No.
00:35:00No.
00:35:03I was giving David his bottle.
00:35:07I must have forgotten the test.
00:35:10It was too hot for him.
00:35:14He's badded out.
00:35:15He just seemed to glare at him.
00:35:18Get my bag from the car.
00:35:19Is there for you reason to squall yourself?
00:35:55This box is a product of oriental ingenuity.
00:35:57There are no visible means of opening it.
00:36:00But if you do just what I've shown you, it comes open.
00:36:03I'll see if you can do it.
00:36:04I'll see you next time.
00:36:23I'll see you next time.
00:36:27I'll see you next time.
00:36:29I'll see you next time.
00:36:30No, you're not going to put it here.
00:36:35Splendid.
00:36:36Well, you see, it shows that I was right to marry your sister.
00:36:40Your family has brains.
00:36:43I see this might stop.
00:36:45Now, watch this.
00:36:49And remember that he's only one year old.
00:36:53Go on, open it, David.
00:36:58Yes.
00:36:59There's something inside.
00:37:00It's a chocolate.
00:37:20Come along.
00:37:21Time for your bar.
00:37:24This 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 some 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.
00:38:25I'll...
00:38:25Keith, give it back to him.
00:38:27The woods.
00:38:28The woods.
00:38:30The woods.
00:38:33The woods.
00:38:34The woods.
00:38:36The woods.
00:38:40The woods.
00:38:42The woods.
00:38:43The woods.
00:38:44The woods.
00:38:45The woods.
00:38:45The woods.
00:38:45The woods.
00:38:45The woods.
00:38:45The woods.
00:38:46The woods.
00:38:46The woods.
00:38:47The woods.
00:38:48The woods.
00:38:50The woods.
00:38:51The woods.
00:38:53The woods.
00:40:08No, Nancy.
00:40:10Leave them alone.
00:40:20Ted Rowan, 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 said.
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?
00:41:49There's no reason to alarm her just because you're alarmed.
00:41:54I've got to 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 is another Einstein.
00:42:28Potentially greater.
00:42:29Solving 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.
00:43:02We must hurry, David.
00:43:03Why?
00:43:07You'll be late.
00:43:08No, I meant, why has he gone to London?
00:43:11He has some business there.
00:43:13What sort of business?
00:43:14Conference.
00:43:18Don't you like me to help you, David?
00:43:21Thank 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.
00:43:43You said I must hurry.
00:43:45Goodbye, mother.
00:43:49Bye, David.
00:43:51Gentlemen, as the Home Secretary has permitted this disclosure, I can now inform you that Midwich is not the only
00:44:00colony of such children.
00:44:02Here, at the township in northern Australia, 30 infants were born in one day.
00:44:07Apparently, something went wrong.
00:44:09All the children died within 10 hours of birth.
00:44:13In an Eskimo community, there were 10 births.
00:44:16The community didn't take kindly to this.
00:44:19Golden-haired babies born of black-haired mothers violated the taboos.
00:44:23None survived.
00:44:25In the communist world, there were two time-outs similar to the one at Midwich.
00:44:30One, at Irkutsk, here, on the borders of Outer Mongolia.
00:44:34A grim affair.
00:44:35The men killed the children and their mothers.
00:44:39Second, in the mountains of the northwest, all the children survived.
00:44:43Our reports, though limited, indicate that they're receiving education on the highest level.
00:44:49All these time-outs happened on the same day as the one at Midwich.
00:44:54This is now three years ago.
00:44:56Haven't we established anything about the origins of these children?
00:44:58There's been a little to go on.
00:45:00Zeleby, you must have some theory.
00:45:02Yes, I suggest that Zeleby may be somewhat too intimately involved.
00:45:05My position as a dubious father is influencing my scientific detachment.
00:45:09Is that what you think?
00:45:10I have reason to believe so.
00:45:12Well, let's hear what 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, an abrupt jump may take place in animals
00:45:24or in vegetable life.
00:45:26A new variation suddenly occurs for no apparent reason.
00:45:29Would that explain why entire groups of people were cut off for 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 of the transmission of energy.
00:45:42May I put it this way?
00:45:45Already, we can direct radar beams out into space with the utmost accuracy.
00:45:51Electrical impulses have been bounced off the moon, and we are continually receiving impulses
00:45:56from other planets and stars.
00:45:58And impulses are energy and matter.
00:46:00We're aware of that, Professor Smith.
00:46:02Where does it take us?
00:46:03The Professor and I think alike.
00:46:05What we can do, others, elsewhere in the universe, may be able to do better.
00:46:10Exactly.
00:46:10Let me get this straight.
00:46:12Do you imply that these children may be the result of impulses directed towards us from
00:46:16somewhere in the universe?
00:46:17Well, of course, that's just a theory, but there's nothing to disprove it.
00:46:21They may be a case of mutation.
00:46:23They may be the world's new people.
00:46:25What we need is time to investigate.
00:46:28Time!
00:46:29Just a moment, Sir Levy.
00:46:30General Layton, you tell me of some developments of Midwich.
00:46:33What are they?
00:46:34A series of casualties, mostly among the village children.
00:46:37In each case, after some contact with the others.
00:46:40Children get into fights all over the world.
00:46:42These were not fights in the normal sense.
00:46:44No direct physical violence was involved.
00:46:47But two weeks ago, a boy, a good swimmer, was drowned in the Midwich pond for no logical
00:46:52reason.
00:46:52Children also have accidents.
00:46:54Gordon, you've seen it for yourself.
00:46:57Extraordinary power these children have.
00:46:59The sinister way they use it.
00:47:01Extraordinary power, certainly.
00:47:03Yes, that's precisely why we need time.
00:47:05In our view, it's only a matter of time before these children get entirely out of hand with
00:47:09fatal consequences.
00:47:12What do you suggest?
00:47:13That they be shut away.
00:47:15They've been put in prison.
00:47:16I'm saying yes.
00:47:17You might as well do away with them altogether.
00:47:20This isn't the police state.
00:47:21Yes.
00:47:21Don't you see what you're doing?
00:47:23If you imprison them, you will deprive the scientific world of the greatest opportunity
00:47:27it has ever had.
00:47:28Opportunity for what?
00:47:29Well, study.
00:47:31Gentlemen, a great deal has been said here about the power of these children, but nothing
00:47:35about the nature of this power.
00:47:37What we are dealing with is a mass mind.
00:47:40An entirely new development, like a colony of ants and bees.
00:47:46These children all want to dress alike, and what one learns, they all learn.
00:47:50I've demonstrated this to Ellen Burnett.
00:47:52They are one mind to the twelfth power.
00:47:55Now, just think what it would mean if we could guide it.
00:47:58We could leap forward in science a hundred years.
00:48:01At the risk of being destroyed.
00:48:03What cannot be understood must be put away.
00:48:05Is that your view?
00:48:06The age-old fear of the unknown?
00:48:08On the other hand, Celleby, Leighton has a point.
00:48:10There is a potential danger here.
00:48:12We are gathered here as advisors, as scientists, as government experts.
00:48:17Now, take a look at our world.
00:48:19Have we made a good job of it?
00:48:21Who is to say that these children are not the answer?
00:48:24The answer to what?
00:48:25Well, to wars, to disease, to human want and misery, to all of the problems we've been unable
00:48:29to cope with.
00:48:30If they don't make an end of us in the meantime.
00:48:32We cannot throw away this potential just because of a few incidents.
00:48:36What is your suggestion?
00:48:37I'll compromise for the Leighton.
00:48:39Let them live together under one roof in our village where they can be kept under observation.
00:48:43My department couldn't accept the responsibility.
00:48:45I personally will assume full responsibility.
00:48:48Just give me a year.
00:48:49Mr. Home Secretary, I can't agree to this.
00:48:51But all I ask is a year.
00:48:53Now, surely that's not too much time when so much is at stake.
00:48:57Just give me one year.
00:49:05Very well.
00:49:06I will officially recommend your compromise.
00:49:09Thank you, gentlemen.
00:49:13I can't really like it.
00:49:19Well, that's as far as we shall go today.
00:49:22Our next lecture will deal with structure.
00:49:25And by the way, don't forget you'll be living here from tomorrow.
00:49:28Now.
00:49:35Why do you smile, David?
00:49:37You don't know how to put your question.
00:49:42There isn't much point in my trying to be subtle, is there?
00:49:45The question I was going to put was...
00:49:47Why am I worried?
00:49:51Just how deep do you see into my mind?
00:49:54Everything that's in the front of your mind.
00:49:56The thought processes?
00:49:58The reasoning that 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 have some privacy.
00:50:12Now, the question I want to ask is this.
00:50:14Are you aware of life on another planet?
00:50:25And let me put it this way.
00:50:27It is possible that life exists elsewhere, isn't it?
00:50:37We don't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:50:40Father, why are you so nervous when an aircraft flies above you?
00:50:43You're very observant, Father.
00:50:47Yes, that doesn't answer my question.
00:50:49All right.
00:50:50Until recently, we haven't been able to make our control reach as far as a high aircraft.
00:50:55Well, now you have.
00:50:56Is that it?
00:51:00What are you going to do with that, Father?
00:51:03Father, we know what you're trying to find out.
00:51:07It'd be better if you didn't ask these questions.
00:51:11We want to learn from you.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:15That'll be all for today.
00:51:22David?
00:51:23Yes, Father?
00:51:28Now, what hold you.
00:51:32What I meant was that you don't have to go, David, if you don't want to.
00:51:37I'd rather go.
00:51:38You mean that because the others are moving into the school, you feel that you must do?
00:51:42Is that the logic?
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:44Your mother is quite distressed about it.
00:51:46I don't really know why I should be.
00:51:49Lots of parents send their children away to school, and David will only be half a mile away.
00:51:53I suppose there's nothing that'll make you change 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?
00:52:38You all right?
00:53:40I know these things are difficult, but it's our obligation to determine the responsibility
00:53:46for 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...
00:54:09out of the car.
00:54:17Then what did he do, Mrs. Zellaby?
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. Zellaby.
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. Zellaby, you know, they killed him.
00:55:01Ask them!
00:55:02Just ask them!
00:55:06Who is that man?
00:55:08James Paul, sir, the brother of the deceased.
00:55:12I shall over it.
00:55:13It is out first.
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, sir.
00:55:41Jim!
00:55:42Why not? Look 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, believe me.
00:55:49They're not human. They ought to be destroyed.
00:55:51Go home, Jim.
00:55:52I said go home.
00:55:54Leave here now before they get me closer.
00:56:00All right, Mr. Zellaby.
00:56:26All right, Mr. Zellaby.
00:56:58All right, Mr. Zellaby.
00:57:11All right, Mr. Zellaby.
00:57:12All right, Mr. Zellaby.
00:57:30All right, I'm going to see you.
00:58:04Oh, all right, all right. I'm responsible. I never denied it. It's quite possible that but for me, these two
00:58:11men would still be alive. I was over-optimistic.
00:58:13There's quite a shindig in London. They may be off to your blood garden.
00:58:15Do you think I care a rap about that? What beats me is that I have failed to reach the
00:58:19children.
00:58:19But the point is they're shouting for action. Now, things have gone too far. The village is very near panicking.
00:58:25If only I could get inside the children's minds and read their thoughts, as 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.
00:59:00I 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. Goodbye.
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 on 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.
00:59:59I see.
01:00:00So now I suppose we're going to blow Minwidge 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, Ben 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.
01:00:57Come to the whipby, follow me.
01:00:59Let's go, let's go.
