00:04Are we almost there?
00:05Should be just beyond these trees.
00:11The newest member of our astronomical society.
00:14Welcome.
00:15Thank you, Mr. Grant.
00:16Now, the detective tells me you've been to the Dominion Observatory.
00:21Yes, I have.
00:22It was incredible.
00:23The Dominion?
00:24I wish it wasn't all the way up in Ottawa.
00:26We only have the old Cook Telescope here.
00:28Mr. Grant?
00:30How is your work on radio position signals coming along?
00:33I've made some great strides, but that's all I can say.
00:38Oh, uh, allow me.
00:42Ah, there.
00:45Are you a new member?
00:47Yes, my name is Macy.
00:50Lovely.
00:51Are you an astronomy student?
00:53In a way.
00:54I find it fascinating.
00:56The procession.
00:57Look.
00:59Look at that.
01:02I told you I was right.
01:10Incredible.
01:10I still can't believe it.
01:12I lost track of all of the meteors.
01:14Do you think it reached the Atlantic Ocean?
01:17What's that?
01:21It's a man.
01:22He's naked.
01:24Sir, who has a blanket?
01:28Sir.
01:29Here.
01:31He's covered in some sticky substance.
01:34Sir?
01:36Are you all right?
01:39Who are you?
01:40Are you earthlings?
01:43Yes.
01:47And they must have sent me back.
01:50Back from where?
01:53There.
01:55In outer space.
01:59Yes.
02:03Yes.
02:04Yes.
02:06Yes.
02:08Yes.
02:09Yes.
02:11Yes.
02:22What's the last thing that you remember?
02:26Darkness.
02:28Noise.
02:31You're not going to believe this, but I always knew this would happen.
02:35That you would be taken by Martians?
02:38I don't know where they were from.
02:41Only that they took me up there to be with them.
02:46Can you tell us your name?
02:49They must have wanted to tell me my work was important.
02:53What is your work?
02:55I have to put it in terms that you will understand.
02:58But right now, I'm so tired.
03:03I've traveled so far.
03:07Sir, what is that substance he's covered in?
03:10I don't know, but I took a sample for analysis.
03:13Sir, is it true?
03:15Is this man from outer space?
03:17No, Henry.
03:19He is not.
03:22You said he broke in this morning?
03:24He didn't kill me.
03:25But he may as well have.
03:27Took every stint I had.
03:29I'm finished.
03:31Tell me exactly what happened.
03:35Well, I opened up the door for the day.
03:39A man rushed in, hat pulled down, sack covering his face.
03:44He was wearing gloves.
03:45Do you remember how tall he was?
03:47No.
03:49A little taller than you.
03:52With a deep voice.
03:54And you reported that he was armed?
03:56Yeah, he waved a gun in my face.
03:58I said, wait, the money's in the safe.
04:01But I didn't move fast enough for him.
04:04Fired off a shot.
04:05No.
04:12I'm gonna go to the bank once a month.
04:14All the money I had was in that safe.
04:17Looks like a .44 caliber bullet.
04:20Well, I don't know about guns, but cigars on the other hand.
04:26Interested?
04:27Well, no.
04:28I've got the best cigars in Toronto.
04:31No, thank you, Mr. Corman.
04:33I'll be in touch.
04:35This will give you a taste for it.
04:47Detective.
04:54You claim you were taken by extraterrestrials.
04:58Yes.
04:59Um, I was on a rooftop, and then I woke up in total darkness.
05:04And I heard, uh...
05:12What were you doing in that field?
05:14Did you predict the meteor procession?
05:18No.
05:19But perhaps it was there.
05:21The ships appearing as meteors.
05:24Can you tell us about your work?
05:26You claim these beings wanted you to share it.
05:29Yes.
05:30Yes, yes.
05:32Yes, uh, I-I've observed red shift, and I'll save three of the 15 spiral nebulae.
05:39What does this red shift mean?
05:43Uh, all matter in the universe, stars, planets, this building, will be torn apart.
05:52I see.
05:54You think I'm mad?
05:56Well, I-I've discovered the key to the beginning and ending of all things.
06:03I need to speak to the newspaper.
06:06Perhaps we'll hold off on that, sir.
06:11I'm going to speak with some friends at the university physics department.
06:16One of their professors may have become troubled.
06:19Good thinking.
06:21Oh!
06:22Sir.
06:24Henry.
06:25Please take this man's finger marks and see if it matches any on record.
06:30Will do, sir.
06:35I ran into Detective Watts this morning.
06:38Oh.
06:40It was an armed robbery just down the street from the Starbright.
06:43Corbin's tobacconist.
06:45Why would anyone rob that store?
06:47There can be more than $10 in the tail.
06:52Maybe someone was trying to send a message.
06:57I hope you aren't saying I had anything to do with that.
07:00I have nothing to do with guns.
07:02Is he on your rounds?
07:04Corbin's been paying $2 a month into the community fund like everyone else.
07:08And I haven't been asking him for more.
07:11Because you told me you were going to stop extorting businesses.
07:14I've kept my word.
07:16I want to believe you, Ephraim.
07:17But with everything that has happened this year...
07:19I know what this is about.
07:21You're upset.
07:23Your fiancée, or should I say, ex-fiancée, told you he was staying in Boston for good.
07:29How do you know that?
07:31Isaiah and I have mutual friends.
07:34Oh.
07:35Miss Hart, I apologize if I'm interrupting something.
07:39I was just leaving, detective.
07:46I have a sample for you to analyze.
07:49Where did this come from?
07:52Someone claims that it is from another planet, but I have reason to believe that it is from right here
07:57on Earth.
07:58Interesting.
08:00Leave it with me.
08:01Thank you, Miss Hart.
08:08Constable Roberts!
08:11I've said you can call me Teddy.
08:13I can hardly shout a colleague's Christian name in the street.
08:16How are you, Miss Persia?
08:18Constable McNabb told me about the man who came from space.
08:22He also took great delight in telling me the man was found naked.
08:25Yes.
08:25He claimed he fell from one of the meteors we saw.
08:28Did you see them?
08:28No, I was asleep.
08:30Incredible.
08:31I saw them do Detective Murdoch's telescope.
08:33Be that as it may, surely you don't believe this man.
08:36The inspector said to keep an open mind.
08:38One should have some common sense.
08:40I could never take a man seriously who entertains such wild ideas.
08:45Yes, of course.
08:47Say, there's a movie playing at the theater.
08:49The one about ancient Rome.
08:51I might attend.
08:52It looks edifying.
08:54I was thinking of going tonight.
08:55I might go tomorrow.
08:57Oh, we could.
08:58I hope you enjoy it, Constable.
08:59Good day.
09:08Roberts!
09:09What took you so long?
09:10I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
09:12I was talking with Miss Berger outside.
09:15Oh, let's see.
09:17Berger.
09:19Oh, the spaceman?
09:20It's in Detective Murdoch's office.
09:21He wanted to make a telephone call.
09:22To whom?
09:23A newspaper.
09:25Does Detective Murdoch know he's doing that?
09:27The man survived flying in outer space.
09:29Who am I to stop him using a telephone?
09:39Detective Murdoch!
09:40We've just been charting the meteors' path.
09:42We've heard of sightings from Minnesota and New York.
09:45Even a steamship near Barbados saw the perception.
09:48That is very interesting, but I've actually come about the man that we found here on the ground.
09:54Oh, yes.
09:55Is he still addled?
09:56Well, he refuses to give us his name or where he lives.
10:00I thought about taking him to the asylum, but...
10:03Take who to the asylum?
10:04Well, one of my students, they are a mad bunch.
10:10Detective Murdoch, this is Dr. Boyes, the head of the physics department.
10:14Dr. Edmund Boyes.
10:16I read the paper you co-authored with Dr. Einstein about the cosmological constant.
10:21Ah, yes, my co-efficient.
10:23Accounting for gravity in Albert's equations of our static universe.
10:28Uh, my good friend George Crabtree once suggested to Dr. Einstein that...
10:33Let me guess.
10:35He gave him the idea for general relativity?
10:38Lots of chaps say that.
10:41Detective Murdoch is trying to figure out where that man we found came from.
10:45The one who said he'd been in outer space?
10:47Mad as a box of frogs.
10:50Be that as it may, how did he know about the meteor procession?
10:55Or that we would be there?
10:57Good question.
10:57He also said he observed red shifts in the spiral nebulae.
11:03He sounds like an astronomer.
11:05He also claimed he was taken by Martians.
11:08He should be in an asylum.
11:10I'll ask around, detective.
11:12See if any of the other physics departments have anybody missing.
11:16Very good.
11:18I do have a moment to look at how you've charted the procession.
11:23Right this way, detective.
11:26It's a pleasure, Dr. Boyes.
11:32Sir, I collected the, uh, unknown man's finger marks and cross-referenced them.
11:37I couldn't find a match.
11:39Well, keep at it.
11:40And contact other constabularies to see if they have any missing men matching his description.
11:45Consider it done, sir.
11:46Uh, where is the man, exactly?
11:50He's upstairs, sir.
11:52Sir, I asked you to keep him downstairs.
11:55Sir, I tried.
11:56He said he does not recognize earthly authority.
12:01Sir?
12:02Hello?
12:04When did you see him?
12:05About an hour ago, sir.
12:15Sir, what are you doing?
12:17Not now, detective.
12:19What is all this?
12:21Looks like part of my radio connected to my transmitter.
12:25Yes, yes.
12:26I'm busy.
12:27Can't you see I'm busy?
12:29What are you doing?
12:32Answer me.
12:34Signaling them, I want them to come take me back.
12:39You want to go back to outer space?
12:41I wasn't just taken up there.
12:44I'm an extraterrestrial.
12:46And I want to go home.
12:58What makes you believe you were born on another planet?
13:02I've always been different.
13:04I understand mathematics and physics like no one else.
13:09I see new paths through old problems.
13:12That makes you highly intelligent, not extraterrestrial.
13:18I was a sickly child.
13:20I grew up in an orphanage.
13:22I would cry myself to sleep feeling unwanted.
13:26Till Sister Blanche told me my secret.
13:30And what was that?
13:31She found me in a field after I had fallen from a shooting star.
13:36You know that's not possible.
13:40I know.
13:43She didn't know that stars were too far away,
13:46that it must have been a meteor.
13:57Ah, Roberts.
13:59What's all this about a man from outer space?
14:02The detective at night found him in the field, sir.
14:04Why does this newspaper say he landed at this station house?
14:07He called the newspaper himself.
14:10I'm surprised Miss Cherry's not leaving the charge.
14:13She did telephone.
14:14She's in Port Credit reporting on a strike and said she's furious she didn't get the exclusive voice, you know.
14:19Good day, sir.
14:20Ah, what do you know about this man from outer space?
14:23I am struggling to determine who he is and where he lives.
14:27What you should do is get him a one-way ticket to the asylum.
14:30I'm not so sure.
14:32I feel as though there is more to this man's story.
14:35Is he here?
14:37Who?
14:38The spaceman.
14:39Joseph Sutter.
14:40You know him?
14:42Sounds like him.
14:43He rented a room in my building three weeks ago, then just disappeared.
14:47When did you see him last?
14:49This past Sunday.
14:50And when I read about him in the paper, I packed up his things straight away.
14:53I do not need his type around my building.
14:56His type?
14:57Spacemen?
14:58I don't want them around me.
15:00What else can you tell us about, Mr. Sutter?
15:03Only that he seemed obsessed with planets and moons.
15:05I didn't understand any of it.
15:07Until now.
15:08The man's a crackpot.
15:10Good riddance to him.
15:14Well, at least now we know his name.
15:16Joe Sutter from space.
15:18There's a letter to Mr. Sutter sent by Alan Grant.
15:23You know him?
15:24Yes.
15:26He was with us when we found Mr. Sutter.
15:30He's from the university, saying that he should stop sending his work to the physics department.
15:38Bit of a coincidence they were corresponded, isn't it?
15:41It certainly is.
15:44It's a .44.
15:46Don't sell many of those anymore.
15:47Why not?
15:49Most people prefer the smaller caliber these days.
15:52What type of gun uses these bullets?
15:56Well, the most popular would be a Remington 1890.
16:01Do you remember a customer who bought .44s lately?
16:04Um, my customers are good people.
16:08Sportsmen.
16:09I wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble.
16:12I pried this bullet out of a store wall.
16:15It was fired during a robbery.
16:17Hmm.
16:17You don't say.
16:21You do keep records of your customers, don't you, Mrs. Walker, as required by law?
16:26Of course.
16:28But I can tell you, I sold a box of those last week.
16:32First box I've sold in a long while.
16:34To whom?
16:39Mr. Ephraim Current.
16:42But don't tell him I told you that.
16:47Did you know the man you sent the letter to was the same man we found in the field the
16:52night of the meteor procession?
16:54I had no idea.
16:55He sent us an envelope last week filled with barely legible equations, but I never met him.
17:01Right.
17:01And, uh, did you look at any of his work?
17:04Well, I showed it to Dr. Boyce, and he told me to throw the papers away, so I sent that
17:09reply to be kind.
17:10Right.
17:11Um, I've brought some of Mr. Sutter's work.
17:15I've only just begun studying it, but it's very interesting.
17:19Are you talking about the man who sent us his scribblings?
17:23Yes.
17:23The man who sent you his work is the same man we found the night of the meteor procession.
17:29Oh.
17:29Poor fellow.
17:31He couldn't find anyone to take his work seriously, so he concocts a story about traveling in outer space.
17:38Detective Murdoch thinks there might be something to Mr. Sutter's work.
17:41Does he?
17:43You're hardly an expert, Detective.
17:46No offense.
17:47Well, none taken.
17:48Alan, you threw out what he sent you, correct?
17:52Yes, Dr. Boyce.
17:54I suggest you do the same, Detective.
18:00Do you understand Sutter's work?
18:02Uh, to a degree.
18:06Mr. Sutter has observed red light shifts in distant galaxies,
18:10but he has also worked out distance correlations
18:15based on the period luminosity relation of variable stars.
18:21In English?
18:23Mr. Sutter has proven that the universe is expanding.
18:29This has immense ramifications to our understanding of the beginnings
18:35and the end of the entire universe.
18:38So he's right.
18:39All matter will be torn apart.
18:41Well, yes, possibly, but in billions of years.
18:46So why did Sutter tell the newspaper that our destruction was imminent?
18:50I don't know.
18:52His underlying theory is sound, but perhaps he's just found it all too overwhelming.
19:03Detective Murdoch?
19:04Where is the Martian?
19:06Mr. Sutter is in the cells.
19:08So you locked him up?
19:09Oh, he has arrest there.
19:11He's not under arrest.
19:12I don't understand why you lot are letting him stay at the station house.
19:16Send him on his way.
19:16Are you so very sure that he isn't telling the truth?
19:20Right.
19:20Thank you, Miss Hart.
19:25That mysterious membrane that is covering Mr. Sutter is comprised of baking soda, gelatin,
19:32fruit, and traces of a metallic element that Miss Hart has been unable to identify.
19:37Is it not of this earth?
19:40She doesn't seem to think so.
19:44Mr. Sutter is either playing an elaborate game or something beyond our understanding has happened to him.
19:51I may have something that could show us where the truth lies.
19:58Oh, I don't know why you're asking me about that robbery.
20:02Your name came up in my investigation.
20:05Who pointed me out?
20:06I was asked to not name the person for fear of reprisal, which only increases my suspicion.
20:13That's ridiculous.
20:14One person said my name?
20:16What proof is that?
20:18The type of gun likely used in the robbery is one I'm told you own.
20:23Remington, 1890?
20:25Oh, well.
20:26It was my father's.
20:28But I've never shot it.
20:30And I've never threatened anyone with it.
20:33Doesn't look good, Mr. Curran.
20:35The robbery was yesterday morning, correct?
20:38Yes.
20:39At 8 o'clock?
20:40I spent the night up in the junction.
20:41At 8 o'clock, I was waiting for the streetcar to undess and kill.
20:45Some politician shaking hands on the street.
20:48Do you know anyone who can attest to your whereabouts?
20:52No.
20:55You'll have to come with me to the station house, Mr. Curran.
21:01And this measures what, exactly?
21:04The pneumograph measures changes in physiology.
21:08If a subject lies, it will activate this needle and in turn measure changes in breathing heart rate.
21:16Did you invent this, detective?
21:19I merely reworked existing technology.
21:22And this machine will tell you if I'm speaking the truth.
21:26Let me save you the trouble.
21:28I am.
21:32Shall we?
21:36All right.
21:39Is your name Joseph Sutter?
21:41Yes.
21:44It's true.
21:46What is your age?
21:4942.
21:51Where were you born?
21:53I do not know.
21:55I was raised at the Sisters of Blessed Saints Orphanage in Trenton.
21:59But I do know that I was not born on this planet.
22:05Were you taken by beings not of this Earth prior to my finding you in the field?
22:13Yes.
22:14They were from another planet.
22:17As am I.
22:25Also true.
22:31Constable Roberts.
22:33I thought you were seeing this movie yesterday.
22:36I've decided to come today.
22:39There's a free seat.
22:45Yes, for sure.
22:46Constable.
22:49I suppose it appears as though the constable and I are on a date.
22:53Yes, it does.
22:55We just ran into each other.
22:56Oh, don't worry, Miss Brescher.
22:58There's no fine for being on a date.
22:59Oh, but we...
23:00Shh.
23:00Shh.
23:02Shh.
23:04Shh.
23:05Shh.
23:06Shh.
23:09Shh.
23:17Shh.
23:41He passed your truthizer test with flying colors.
23:44Indeed.
23:46Indeed.
23:46We can be certain Mr. Sutter believes he was taken to outer space.
23:51But there is another possibility.
23:53Oh?
23:55Someone abducted him and somehow made him believe that he was taken by extraterrestrials.
24:02Hmm.
24:02That may be.
24:04That may be.
24:04But for now, he doesn't have any money or anywhere to go.
24:07And he can't stay here.
24:08He needs to be taken to the asylum until I can find more information.
24:16But if they want me back, how will I get to them?
24:19Mr. Sutter, what you need is a good long rest in a place where you can get some help.
24:23We believe it's what's best for you.
24:26Joseph Sutter.
24:28Yes?
24:29Take this, you traitor.
24:31Oh!
24:32Murdoch!
24:32Get him!
24:34Constables!
24:34Quickly!
24:42You're lucky you only injured Mr. Sutter.
24:46Now start talking.
24:50What's there to say?
24:52You're a human, right?
24:54From planet Earth.
24:56So you understand?
24:59No.
25:00No, I don't.
25:01Why don't you tell me why you chose to stab Mr. Sutter?
25:07Look, he's a traitor to the human race.
25:10He put out a welcome mat for those Martians.
25:12They can control your mind.
25:14They can destroy the whole planet.
25:17Like that.
25:19Did you have something to do with Mr. Sutter's disappearance?
25:23You know, what do you mean?
25:25When they took him to space?
25:26Men from Mars or the Moon or Venus do not exist.
25:33Someone from Earth took Mr. Sutter.
25:36Was it you?
25:39I never laid eyes on a man before today.
25:42I only read about him in the paper.
25:45I see.
25:47For all we know, he's working with them.
25:52The people of Earth, they should thank me.
26:00Detective Murdoch.
26:02Please pardon the interruption.
26:04Doctor was just showing me something quite interesting.
26:07I'd like you to see it.
26:09I was just telling Mr. Sutter that when I was stitching up his wound,
26:11I was surprised the knife didn't punch her in his liver.
26:14And you've taken an x-ray?
26:16Yes, it's a new machine.
26:17I believe the detective is familiar with the machine.
26:20I saw one in his office.
26:21Oh, I see.
26:23Listen, if you'll just take a look right here.
26:30Dr. M. Light?
26:33Are Mr. Sutter's organs reversed?
26:36I've been trying to tell you, detective.
26:38I was not born on Earth.
26:40They made me as a mere copy of a man.
26:47You both don't believe me.
26:50No one believes me.
26:53The bell.
26:54The bell.
26:55The bell.
27:08Almost like children shouting.
27:10Could those have been factory sounds?
27:12No.
27:13Of course not.
27:14You mocked me.
27:15Enough!
27:16No!
27:16Please, sir.
27:16Don't move.
27:17You ripped the stitches from your wound.
27:18I want to leave.
27:19Nurse!
27:19Get me out of here!
27:20Let me leave!
27:21You don't mind?
27:31You've come to gloat.
27:34That's not quite my style.
27:39Admit it.
27:40You're enjoying this a little bit.
27:43It's always a shame when someone is wrongfully incarcerated.
27:48So you do believe me?
27:51I know you had nothing to do with that robbery.
27:54If only the police knew that, too.
27:57What if I had proof of your innocence?
28:00Then give it to the detective.
28:02Get me out of here.
28:03No, no.
28:04Not so sure.
28:05It seems to me that I have more than just evidence.
28:08I have a bargaining chip.
28:16What do you want in return?
28:18Your word.
28:19That you will stop any illegal activity that you carry out with my name attached.
28:24I've already told you that I've stopped.
28:26I don't believe you, Ephraim.
28:28Why would someone want to frame you?
28:34Fine.
28:35From here on out, I won't be taking anything from anyone.
28:38Other than collecting on bar tabs.
28:41Why should I trust you?
28:43Because you want me to be a better man, Violet.
28:46And I will be.
28:53The L.
28:54Reversed organs.
28:56Maybe proof that he was a Martian.
28:59Cetus inversus.
29:00It's rare, but it is documented.
29:03Well, at least you found the man who tried to kill him.
29:06Why do I get the feeling that you're not letting this case go?
29:10Sir, I think I may know a way to find out where Mr. Sutter was being kept while he was
29:14abducted.
29:15How do you plan on doing that?
29:17When I visited him in the hospital, he spoke of sounds that he heard while he was with them.
29:23What kind of sounds?
29:25A factory whistle, a streetcar bell, and children shouting.
29:29A factory and a school on a streetcar route?
29:31Exactly.
29:32How about here?
29:34St. Christina's Elementary, right across the street from Crane's Vinegar Manufacturer.
29:38There's no streetcar line on the map.
29:40Yes, there is. It's new.
29:43You're right, sir.
29:44The Toronto Civic Railway's newest line is on Girard Street.
29:48I may not know much about the heavens, but I do know the city.
29:56I didn't realize there are so many abandoned warehouses on Girard.
29:59We don't even know what we're looking for.
30:03Maybe that.
30:07Is that his ship?
30:09No, no.
30:10His ship would have burnt up on re-entry.
30:20No, this isn't a ship.
30:26But these may be his crows.
30:31Sir, I believe he was kept here.
30:35What's this?
30:41Looks like a radio proximity sensor.
30:45Two antennas connected to an amplifier.
30:50Mr. Sutter told us he heard otherworldly sounds.
30:57Sir, I believe someone has gone to great lengths to convince Mr. Sutter that he was amongst extraterrestrials.
31:03Do you know who could have made a device like this?
31:06I believe I do.
31:11Monday morning at 8 o'clock?
31:13Yes.
31:13You'll see Mr. Current at the corner of Dundas and Keele.
31:19It's quite a coincidence that you saw this.
31:22Well, I go to the pictures every week.
31:24It helps take my mind off my troubles.
31:28And do you have many troubles lately?
31:32Involving Mr. Current?
31:34Why do you ask?
31:45Because I think he was set up.
31:48And I'm unsure why.
31:50The shop owners lied?
31:52They must have known he owned a Remington.
31:55So it could all just be a big misunderstanding.
31:59Indeed.
32:00Thank you, Ms. Hart.
32:02Glad I could help.
32:14Mr. Grant is not here.
32:17That antenna machine is likely Mr. Grant's.
32:19But what about the unidentified metal in the goo he used to cover Mr. Sutter in?
32:24He could have stolen it from the university's chemistry lab.
32:27Perhaps they have an element that we don't know of yet.
32:32Uh, sir, I believe I've found Mr. Grant.
32:43He's cold.
32:44He's been here for a while.
32:46That capacitor has a fair bit of blood on it.
32:48It must have been used to kill him.
32:51Hopefully there are finger marks.
32:52Perhaps Mr. Sutter realized that Mr. Grant was behind his induction and exacted his revenge.
33:04Sirs.
33:05All right.
33:08I've talked to the head of the university chemistry department.
33:11He said he noticed a sample of hafnium missing last week.
33:14What is hafnium?
33:15Oh, the professor said it was just discovered.
33:17It's a metallic element of some kind.
33:20And I'm sorry.
33:22I don't know much about chemistry, sir.
33:24Neither do I.
33:25Fascinating stuff, though.
33:26Were there any finger marks on the capacitor used as a murder weapon?
33:30Unfortunately not, sir.
33:32The hospital just told me that Mr. Sutter left early in the morning.
33:36Giving him time to kill Mr. Grant.
33:39Where would he be now?
33:41The only other place I can think of is his former apartment.
33:44Excuse me.
33:48I must confess.
33:50I'm a bit disappointed that our spaceman is most definitely from Earth.
33:55This time.
33:56I'm still keeping an open mind, sir.
33:58Sure.
34:02You have a seat.
34:11Why were they brought here?
34:12The constable wouldn't say.
34:17Do you two know each other?
34:20Yes.
34:20We both own stores in the same neighborhood.
34:23Oh.
34:23I see.
34:24Did you apprehend the man who robbed my store?
34:27I did not.
34:30Because I'm not sure that your store was ever robbed.
34:34What do you mean?
34:35I've spoken to your suppliers, Mr. Corman.
34:38Two were paid yesterday, and your bank claims that you make deposits every three days, not once a month, as
34:45you said.
34:46I don't know what this has to do with me.
34:49I don't know what this has to do with me.
34:49I was getting to you, Mrs. Walker.
34:52Why did you tell me that the only 44 bullets you sold lately were to Ephraim Current?
34:57I was sure it was him.
34:59Well, we have film evidence that Mr. Current was on the other side of town at the time of the
35:05robbery.
35:06I don't know anything about that.
35:08You knew Mr. Current owned a Remington, and for some reason, you both were trying to frame him.
35:14Now, wait just a minute.
35:15My question now is why.
35:21Mr. Corman, I could arrest you for making a false police report.
35:25And, Mrs. Walker, I'm willing to guess that you helped Mr. Corman.
35:28Perhaps you loaned him a Remington?
35:34I'm not saying another word.
35:36Here am I.
35:42Mr. Sutter.
35:43Detective.
35:47I'm here to speak with you about Alan Grant.
35:50He was found dead this morning in his office.
35:54What?
35:56Why?
35:57It may have something to do with the fact that he abducted you and made you believe that you'd been
36:02taken by extraterrestrials.
36:05That's impossible.
36:07A radio device that Mr. Grant made was found at the place where they kept you.
36:11Along with your clothes.
36:15When I wasn't abducted by Mr. Grant, I was up there in the sky.
36:20Did you realize that Grant was behind this hoax?
36:23That's why you left the hospital, so you could confront him?
36:26No.
36:26I left because they thought I was mad.
36:30My landlady just gave me a letter that arrived early this morning from Mr. Grant.
36:36What does it say?
36:37He looked at the papers I sent after you mentioned they might have some worth.
36:41You were right, he said.
36:44May I see it?
36:45Of course.
36:50He didn't destroy your work as he was instructed by Dr. Boyes.
36:56He must have been furious.
36:58My findings prove that Dr. Boyes' coefficient is completely erroneous.
37:05I am sorry about Mr. Grant.
37:07I don't know why he was killed.
37:09But no one on Earth abducted me.
37:11I was up there.
37:16I am afraid you were not up in space.
37:21Don't you see?
37:22Maybe it was all a ruse to discredit you.
37:29I'm sorry, Mr. Sutter.
37:34You're wrong, Detective.
37:36They are up there.
37:38I'm one of them.
37:41I know I am.
37:43I found the place where Mr. Sutter was being kept
37:47whilst he believed himself abducted by extraterrestrials.
37:52Joseph Sutter?
37:53Did he squirrel himself away somewhere?
37:57No.
37:59No, you took him.
38:03Me?
38:06What are you talking about?
38:08Mr. Sutter sent you his work.
38:11Work that proved your theories false.
38:14So you set out to discredit him.
38:18I suggest the constabulary keep to the murder of Mr. Grant
38:22and stop worrying over that spaceman.
38:25I'm getting to the murder.
38:27Alan Grant examined Mr. Sutter's work,
38:30and he saw that it was grounded in fact.
38:35Alan wasn't my best student.
38:38I also examined Mr. Sutter's work.
38:41You couldn't possibly understand any of it, Detective.
38:45I understand enough to know that the cosmological constant
38:48that you and Dr. Einstein have been working on is wrong.
38:53No.
38:54No, no, no.
38:55I am going to win a Nobel Prize for that.
38:58Now get out.
38:59To discredit Mr. Sutter's proof,
39:02you pushed an intelligent but otherwise emotionally unstable man
39:07over the edge
39:08by making him believe he'd been taken by creatures from space.
39:13He's mad.
39:15No one will listen to him now.
39:19Alan Grant brought you Mr. Sutter's work
39:21because he saw its worth,
39:23and you killed him.
39:31He wouldn't listen to me.
39:39Who's going to send it all to Dr. Einstein?
39:44Dr. Boyes, you are under arrest for murder.
39:53I can't do that.
39:54Yes, you can.
39:56Go to Mr. Corman and Mrs. Walker
39:58and tell them you understand it was a mistake
40:00and there are no hard feelings.
40:01They tried to frame me.
40:03But even if they did, can you blame them?
40:07I'll think about it.
40:09No reprisals.
40:10Right.
40:22So, are you going to tell me?
40:24Tell you what?
40:25Why those two shop owners wanted Ephraim Current behind bars.
40:30Well, they said it was a mistake, don't they?
40:34There never was a robbery, Violet.
40:37And I don't know what they were doing.
40:41What reason would they have to lie?
40:43If I knew, I would tell you.
40:45And besides, if Ephraim was up to no good,
40:48do you think I would keep him around?
40:56Why does anyone smoke this?
41:00Another glass, perhaps?
41:12Don't.
41:13Don't.
41:18When you think about how many galaxies are out there and how many planets are in those
41:22galaxies, we can't be the only intelligent life.
41:25Well, if that's true, then where are they?
41:28What do you mean?
41:30Think about it.
41:32If outer space is teeming with life, then everyone would have met them by now.
41:36You can call that the Higgins-Newsome paradox.
41:40You can call it what you want.
41:42I've gotta go.
41:43Oh?
41:44Are you late for a date?
41:45Perhaps with Miss Berger?
41:47No.
41:48I think I have a better chance of meeting a marshal.
41:51Well, if you ever have any trouble with women, you can always talk to me about it.
41:56I'll keep that in mind.
41:59Good night, honey.
42:00Good night, Teddy.
42:05Macy!
42:06Hello.
42:07Come in, come in.
42:08I hope you don't mind.
42:09I just wanted to ask how Mr. Sutter was doing.
42:12I spoke to him just this evening.
42:13I believe he's thinking of returning home to Trenton.
42:17And he's promised to get some rest.
42:20He understands he's not an extraterrestrial.
42:23I believe he's coming around.
42:25And his work?
42:28If I may, why are you so concerned with his work getting out there to the world?
42:35I just have a feeling it's of great value.
42:38Though I don't understand all of it.
42:43Would you like to know more?
42:45I'd love to.
42:46All right.
42:49Uh, where to start?
42:56Hello.
42:57Hello.
43:00If you can hear me, give me a sign.
43:10I don't belong here.
43:12Take me back.
43:15Please.
43:30I knew it.
43:32Take me back.
43:48It's not a secret.
43:48You can hear me.
43:49I don't belong here.
43:56Ah, poor.
43:57You can hear me.
43:58I have a sweet lady.
43:58Yeah.
43:58You can hear me.
43:59Oh, sorry.
