00:00:25I'll see you next time.
00:00:46Good morning.
00:00:48Would you get me Major Berners?
00:00:50It is his light hall number.
00:01:06Well, thank you.
00:01:09Alan?
00:01:10It's Gordon.
00:01:12Look, you're coming down here today, aren't you?
00:01:15Could you pick up a book for me and bring it with you?
00:01:18It's...
00:01:32Gordon?
00:01:36Operator?
00:01:38Operator?
00:01:40You're blasted.
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?
00:01:52We've been cut off from Midwich 2-5.
00:01:55Would you get it again, please?
00:01:56Hello?
00:01:58Hello?
00:01:59Will you replace your receiver, please?
00:02:02Please replace your receiver.
00:02:05Hello?
00:02:07Hello?
00:02:33Oh.
00:02:48Awesome.
00:02:51Good morning.
00:02:52Good morning.
00:02:54Thank you very much, everyone, whoever.
00:02:56Thank you very much.
00:02:59I don't know.
00:03:32I don't know.
00:04:06I don't know.
00:04:47I don't know.
00:05:14I don't know.
00:05:16I don't know, sir.
00:05:16But, uh, well, look here, sir.
00:05:19Midwich is here.
00:05:21Now, 4th Brigade are running that exercise of theirs all around 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.
00:05:34All right, Alan.
00:05:34Give me a ring later.
00:05:35I shall 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.
00:06:05Hello.
00:06:06Hello, Gobby.
00:06:06Oh, it's Major Bernard, sir.
00:06:08Look, Gobby, what's happened to the telephones who've been trying to get through all morning?
00:06:11It's funny you should ask, Major.
00:06:13I've just been sent to look for the bus, which hasn't turned up.
00:06:15We can't get through by phone, either.
00:06:34Where's your bus, Gobby?
00:06:37It's truth.
00:06:40Better have a look.
00:06:54I can't.
00:07:02Help me to put a car.lerin
00:07:05In
00:07:05the table, this morning has been brought to Massive Town of spaghetti. Where
00:07:09are you is going? No,
00:07:09go. What?
00:07:15It's
00:07:15nice. Let's
00:07:19All right, Alan, you'd better get hold of the local area commander.
00:07:22What's his name?
00:07:23Ward 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 south-eastern command, please.
00:07:45Over here, sergeant.
00:07:53Get off the tunnel, assistant.
00:07:57Bring the men over here, sergeant.
00:08:00Over there, sir.
00:08:22Look, the canary.
00:08:30You needn't go in if you don't want to.
00:08:32I'll have a go, sir.
00:08:33Quite sure?
00:08:33Yes, sir.
00:08:42Over there.
00:08:53I kept it now.
00:08:55Well, we made you were ready, sergeant.
00:09:07Well, Alan, what on earth's happening here?
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 him?
00:09:31That's what we're trying to find out.
00:09:35Will you take a look at him, doc?
00:09:37I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:38I'll take a look at him.
00:09:41I'll take a look at him.
00:09:44The house is normal.
00:09:46Seems to be breathing normally.
00:09:50Ah, I think he's just fainted.
00:09:53Ah, he's coming round.
00:09:55Alan, wouldn't you better let me know what this is all about?
00:09:57Doctor, when were you last in the village?
00:09:59Midwich?
00:09:59Oh, I left about 10 o'clock.
00:10:01Had a couple of patients to see in Widmarsh.
00:10:03Now there are roadblocks all over the place, St. Alan.
00:10:05I've got to get back.
00:10:07I've got patients to see.
00:10:08Well, my hunch is that all your patients in Midwich
00:10:10are 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, do all this.
00:10:27Some sort of gas?
00:10:29No, it can't be.
00:10:31Any breeze would have blown it about a bit.
00:10:32The edges of the area are as well defined as that hedge there.
00:10:37Oh, cold.
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 like ice.
00:10:56Midwich to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:57Midwich to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:58Can you see anything?
00:11:00Au revoir.
00:11:02It's all right from here.
00:11:04Over.
00:11:05Let me speak to you.
00:11:08Hello, Charlie Alpha.
00:11:09This is Major Bernard speaking.
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.
00:11:25They're lying on the ground.
00:11:28As 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 unusual.
00:11:39Watch out.
00:11:48Still nothing moving, sir.
00:11:50Taking it down.
00:11:52Careful now.
00:12:03Easy.
00:12:08Easy.
00:12:56There's another aircraft approaching.
00:12:58Send out a general warning immediately.
00:12:59All aircraft to avoid this area and not to drop below 5,000 feet.
00:13:02Yes, sir.
00:13:03Midwich to base.
00:13:04Midwich to base.
00:13:05Emergency.
00:13:06I say again, emergency.
00:13:08Warn all aircraft to avoid area 5 miles radius.
00:13:12Latitude 51 degrees, 10 minutes 30 seconds north.
00:13:15Longitude 1 degree, 11 minutes 20 seconds west.
00:13:19Maintain minimum altitude of 5,000 feet.
00:13:21Out.
00:13:40Climbly look.
00:13:42What?
00:14:02Let's go.
00:14:33Oh, oh, oh.
00:15:03Oh, oh.
00:15:24Gordon?
00:15:27Darling, I'm sorry. I... 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.
00:15:47Anthea?
00:15:55I found myself asleep on the floor.
00:16:00What an extraordinary thing to do.
00:16:07I'm... I'm cold.
00:16:10Well, the fires have gone out.
00:16:14Did you...
00:16:17Did we faint?
00:16:19We must have blacked out.
00:16:22Why?
00:16:24My...
00:16:26My hands are...
00:16:28Quite numb.
00:16:30Oh.
00:16:33Gordon.
00:16:35What did happen?
00:16:37I don't know.
00:16:56Alan.
00:16:57You're all right.
00:16:59You're late.
00:17:00I couldn't get through.
00:17:01Couldn't get 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, you see.
00:17:08It must have been some sort of slow peak in the gas...
00:17:10It wasn't only you two.
00:17:10The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:12The whole village?
00:17:13All of Midwich was cut off from the outside world for several hours.
00:17:43The whole village fell asleep.
00:18:00Anything registering, sir?
00:18:02No, sir. Nothing unusual.
00:18:03Well, keep at it.
00:18:07Oh, Mr. Zellaby.
00:18:09Yes, Miss Ergo.
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, they ought to try something better.
00:18:20Yes, 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 while you help to stop the rumors getting about.
00:18:33All right?
00:18:38Do you mind?
00:18:40Soil samples?
00:18:41Yes, sir.
00:18:41Clamp life?
00:18:42Even the bark on the trees.
00:18:43But I don't think it's...
00:18:44Don't forget insects, grasses, water, metals.
00:18:46The sooner and more elaborate these tests can be made, the better.
00:18:49Yes, sir.
00:18:49It's quite all right.
00:18:50This is Professor Gordon Zellaby.
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 if I do.
00:19:12And a large bone in my best dressing to the bargain.
00:19:15What the wife means is...
00:19:17Well, 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.
00:19:33There 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.
00:19:49It would be a bit 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 at Midwich Fortress.
00:20:06If you do find anything, let us know through Allen.
00:20:08No need for any direct contact between us.
00:20:11More security, eh?
00:20:12Ever cautious.
00:20:14Gets under the skin, you know.
00:20:21Any other questions that have been done with us?
00:20:22Yeah.
00:20:32But what?
00:20:39I can't remember.
00:20:40No of these questions at all.
00:20:40It's not bad at all.
00:20:40All the numbers.
00:20:48I can't remember.
00:20:49I can't remember.

00:25:09please don't keep on
00:25:11don't you see that what you're asking me
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
00:25:24it was the happiest moment i've ever known
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
00:25:34when it is your 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
00:25:45even in harrington
00:25:45yes
00:25:46she was terribly frightened and frankly so am i
00:25:50i know these girls i've watched them grow up
00:25:52and when they tell me that they've no way of accounting for their condition
00:25:55i'm compelled to believe them
00:25:59that means 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 it'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
00:26:14when midwitch was cut off from the rest of the world
00:26:36who's next
00:26:51is
00:27:21This is Anthea Zalapis, Doctor.
00:27:26Let's have a look at it.
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.
00:27:51It's a seven-month embryo after only five months.
00:28:06It's all right, darling. I'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.
00:28:15But it's going to be all right.
00:28:17Is it? Is that what you believe?
00:28:23You're tired, darling.
00:28:25That's right. I'm tired.
00:28:28And do you know why? Because 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...
00:28:37I don't care what Dr. Willis says!
00:28:39Right, so it's not a monster. It'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?
00:28:52What sort of brain it has?
00:28:53Where it comes from?
00:28:54Does it tell me that?
00:28:56Where does it come from?
00:28:57Stop it!
00:28:58You must stop it. We'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. If it isn't...
00:29:12Gordon.
00:29:16I'm afraid.
00:29:23I'm so afraid.
00:29:46I'm so afraid.
00:29:48Well, look now on my balcony early.
00:29:48Well, my body's open is a Después nostril.
00:29:48Who said he is doing.
00:29:48I'm afraid that nobody on earth is distint.
00:29:48I feel like they told anybody.
00:29:48it's...
00:29:53it's saving...
00:29:54I mean, oh, my name is...
00:29:58Let's go.
00:30:36Let's go.
00:30:58Let's go.
00:31:08Let's go.
00:31:31I hope that none of them lives.
00:31:39Let's go.
00:31:44Let's go.
00:31:46Let's go.
00:32:11Let's go.
00:32:15Let's go.
00:32:16What about there, Wade?
00:32:18All slightly over ten pounds.
00:32:21You've all got these strange eyes.
00:32:27All that worry.
00:32:29I love you.
00:32:29And now, oh, Gordon, have you seen him?
00:32:35He's such a beautiful baby.
00:32:52Go on.
00:32:54I do love you so.
00:33:01He's probably jealous.
00:33:03Yes.
00:33:05Yes.
00:33:06Now, be quiet, Luna.
00:33:07Lie down and behave yourself.
00:33:22I'm glad.
00:33:23You're so beautiful.
00:33:26I'm not going to love you.
00:33:27I'm not going to love you.
00:33:31I'm not going to love you.
00:33:32I'm not going to love you.
00:33:38yes 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 have you noticed their
00:33:54nails yes they're narrower than ours covering less of the upper surface of the digit but as
00:34:00flat as normal nails what is a blood test show it's too early to tell the blood circulating at
00:34:07present is still not in the mother's group so they are apparently normal children with these
00:34:12exceptions strange eyes arresting I would say an unknown hair group and unusual fingernails well if
00:34:21they are that physical development is absolutely startling in point of time they're four months old
00:34:27but their development and capabilities is that of 18 months
00:34:42you won't stop
00:34:44she won't stop
00:34:58now what happened
00:35:01I was giving David his bottle
00:35:07I must have forgotten to test it it was too hot for him he's padded out he just seemed to
00:35:16glare at her
00:35:18get my bag from the car isn't there for your reason to squall yourself
00:35:55this box is a product of oriental ingenuity there are no visible means of opening it but if you do
00:36:01just what I've shown you it comes open now see if you can do it
00:36:15yeah
00:36:16I'm sorry
00:36:17I'm sorry
00:36:18there
00:36:19that comes down
00:36:23I'm sorry
00:36:26that comes down
00:36:27up
00:36:29up
00:36:29up
00:36:35Splendid.
00:36:37You see, it shows that I was right to marry your sister.
00:36:40Your family has brains.
00:36:43Let's see if I can do this myself. Very well.
00:36:46Now, watch this.
00:36:49And remember that he's only one year old.
00:36:53Go on. Open it, David.
00:36:58Yes. There's something inside.
00:37:01It's a chocolate.
00:37:20Come along. Time to your bar.
00:37:23Oh.
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 all right, David.
00:37:34It's only a box with the chocolates in it.
00:37:36I don't know, sir. I never lie to have chocolates.
00:37:38Oh, well.
00:37:39It's quite harmless, really. I just gave some to date.
00:38:07But you didn't even show her how to do it.
00:38:09Well, that's exactly my point. I didn't have to.
00:38:12If you demonstrate something to one of them, they all know it.
00:38:16Now, watch.
00:38:24I want that.
00:38:25Keith.
00:38:26Give it back to him.
00:38:27Buds.
00:38:55Well, you will be Doberson,과 함께 home.
00:39:04Oh, my God.
00:39:38Oh, my God.
00:40:08No, Nancy. Leave them alone.
00:40:19Ted Brouwer, you come inside this moment.
00:40:22I've told you about playing with those children before.
00:40:30There's my Philip. You're always all together.
00:40:33It's his turn to study. Is 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.
00:40:44Twelve jars, fifteen shillings.
00:40:53You wish we wouldn't come here anymore, Mrs. Plumpton.
00:40:56No, I 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.
00:41:33Are you ready, Gordon?
00:41:34Mm-hmm.
00:41:38Some 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 haven't got to a cold scientific detachment.
00:41:59People, 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.
00:42:16Intellect? Intellect?
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.
00:42:29Potentially 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.
00:43:02You must hurry, David.
00:43:03Why?
00:43:07You'll be late.
00:43:09No, I meant, why has he gone to London?
00:43:11He has some business there.
00:43:13What sort of business?
00:43:15A conference.
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.
00:43:34It doesn't hurt.
00:43:35Please don't fuss.
00:43:36If I turn septic.
00:43:39There.
00:43:43You said I must hurry.
00:43:46Goodbye, mother.
00:43:49Goodbye, David.
00:43:52Gentlemen,
00:43:53as the Home Secretary
00:43:54has permitted this disclosure,
00:43:56I can now inform you
00:43:58that Midwich
00:43:59is 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.
00:44:07But apparently something went wrong.
00:44:09All the children died
00:44:10within 10 hours of birth.
00:44:13In an Eskimo community,
00:44:15there 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 at 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,
00:44:40in 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
00:44:47on 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.
00:44:56Have we established anything
00:44:57about 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, I 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.
00:45:12Well, 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,
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.
00:45:39There is the possibility
00:45:40of the transmission of energy.
00:45:42May I put it this way?
00:45:45Already, we 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
00:45:54and we are continually receiving impulses
00:45:56from other planets and stars.
00:45:58And impulses are energy and matter.
00:46:01We're aware of that, Professor Smith.
00:46:02Where does it take us?
00:46:04The Professor and I think alike.
00:46:06What we can do,
00:46:07others elsewhere in the universe
00:46:08may be able to do better.
00:46:10Exactly.
00:46:10Let me get this straight.
00:46:12You imply that these children
00:46:14may be the result of impulses
00:46:15directed towards us
00:46:16from somewhere in the universe.
00:46:18Well, of course,
00:46:18that's just a theory
00:46:19but 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, Salabé.
00:46:30General Layton,
00:46:31you tell me of some developments
00:46:32at Midwich.
00:46:33What are they?
00:46:34A series of casualties,
00:46:36mostly among the village children,
00:46:37in each case after some contact
00:46:39with 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
00:46:59and the sinister way
00:47:00they use it.
00:47:01Extraordinary power,
00:47:02certainly.
00:47:03Yes, that's precisely
00:47:04why we need time.
00:47:05Time to...
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.
00:47:12So what do you suggest?
00:47:13That they be shut away.
00:47:15You've been put in prison?
00:47:16Bluntly, yes.
00:47:17You might as well
00:47:18do away with them altogether.
00:47:20This isn't a police state.
00:47:21Yet.
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.
00:47:29Opportunity for what?
00:47:30For study.
00:47:31Gentlemen,
00:47:32a great deal
00:47:33has been said here
00:47:34about the power
00:47:35of these children
00:47:35but nothing about
00:47:36the nature of this power.
00:47:37What we're dealing with
00:47:38is a mass mind.
00:47:41An entirely new development
00:47:42like a colony
00:47:43of ants and bees.
00:47:46These children
00:47:47all want to dress alike
00:47:48and what one learns
00:47:49they all learn.
00:47:50I demonstrated this
00:47:51to Ellen Burnett.
00:47:52They are one mind
00:47:54to the twelfth power.
00:47:56Now 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
00:48:02of 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,
00:48:09Ellaby,
00:48:09Leighton has a point.
00:48:10There is a potential danger here.
00:48:13We are gathered here
00:48:14as advisors,
00:48:15as 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's to say
00:48:22that these children
00:48:23are not the answer?
00:48:24The answer to what?
00:48:24Well to wars,
00:48:26to disease,
00:48:27to human want
00:48:27and misery,
00:48:28to all of the problems
00:48:29we've been unable
00:48:30to 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?
00:48:37I'll compromise
00:48:38with Leighton.
00:48:39Let 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
00:48:44couldn'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
00:48:56is 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.
00:49:19And that's as far
00:49:20as we shall go today.
00:49:22Our next lecture
00:49:23will deal with structure.
00:49:25And by the way,
00:49:26don't forget you'll be
00:49:26living here
00:49:27from tomorrow.
00:49:28Now.
00:49:35Why don't 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
00:49:46to put was...
00:49:47by the way.
00:49:51Just how deep
00:49:52do you see
00:49:53into my mind?
00:49:54Everything that's
00:49:55in the front
00:49:55of your mind.
00:49:56The thought processes?
00:49:58The reasoning
00:49:59that leads
00:50:00to my spoken words?
00:50:01We still have
00:50:02to master that.
00:50:03It'll come.
00:50:05Hmm.
00:50:05Well, that's frank.
00:50:07Thank 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
00:50:15on another planet?
00:50:25and let me
00:50:26put it this way.
00:50:27It is possible
00:50:28that life exists
00:50:30elsewhere, isn't it?
00:50:37Well, we don't
00:50:38seem to be getting
00:50:38anywhere.
00:50:40Why are you so nervous
00:50:42when an aircraft
00:50:42flies above you?
00:50:44You're very
00:50:44observant, Father.
00:50:46Yes, but that
00:50:47doesn't answer
00:50:48my 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
00:51:01to do with that power?
00:51:03Father,
00:51:04we know what
00:51:05you're trying
00:51:06to find out.
00:51:07It'd be better
00:51:08if you didn't
00:51:09ask these questions.
00:51:11We want
00:51:12to learn from you.
00:51:15All right.
00:51:15that'll be all
00:51:16for today.
00:51:22David.
00:51:23Yes, Father?
00:51:29Now, what holds you?
00:51:33What I meant was
00:51:33that you don't have
00:51:34to go, David,
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 too?
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.
00:51:54I 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 very sorry.
00:52:33It was all my fault.
00:52:37You all right?
00:53:36Mrs. Zelleby,
00:53:37I wish you'd be more
00:53:38specific in your testimony.
00:53:40I know these things
00:53:42are difficult,
00:53:43but it's our obligation
00:53:44to determine the responsibility
00:53:46for this man's death.
00:53:48I find it very difficult
00:53:49to remember.
00:53:54I...
00:53:55I...
00:53:56You told Constable Gobby
00:53:58you heard the screech
00:54:00of his brakes.
00:54:01Yes, that's right.
00:54:02He...
00:54:07He...
00:54:08He got...
00:54:10out of the car.
00:54:17Then what did he do,
00:54:18Mrs. Zelleby?
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. Zelleby.
00:54:36Thank you, Mrs. Zelleby.
00:54:36I don't think we need go any further.
00:54:39It seems to me quite apparent
00:54:41what happened here.
00:54:42Edward Paul,
00:54:43the deceased,
00:54:44his vision obscured,
00:54:46came close to striking
00:54:47and injuring a child.
00:54:48then,
00:54:50obviously,
00:54:50a nervous shock
00:54:51struck the wall.
00:54:54I recommend that you bring in
00:54:56a verdict of accidental death.
00:54:57Mrs. Zelleby!
00:54:59You know they killed him!
00:55:00What do you mean?
00:55:01What 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.
00:55:12I shall overlook this outpost.
00:55:19Gordon,
00:55:20can't you see now
00:55:21that Midwich is living
00:55:21on top of a volcano?
00:55:23A force is building up.
00:55:24Sooner or later
00:55:24it's bound to explode.
00:55:26We still haven't any proof.
00:55:27For heaven's sake,
00:55:27how much more proof do you need?
00:55:29The death of James Paul?
00:55:30Alan,
00:55:31I'm much more aware
00:55:32of the situation
00:55:33than you think.
00:55:41Jim!
00:55:42Why not?
00:55:42Look what they did to my brother!
00:55:44This won't bring it back.
00:55:44Who's going to stop them
00:55:45if I don't try?
00:55:46You can't stop them
00:55:47with 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.
00:55:54Leave here now
00:55:55before they get any closer.
00:56:00All right,
00:56:01Mr. Zelleby.
00:56:16Go home,
00:56:17let's go.
00:56:28Let our house
00:56:28Go home,
00:56:33Look at him.
00:56:33That's what the key is.
00:56:33Oh,
00:56:34let the house
00:56:34went home.
00:56:37Let the house
00:56:38were dead,
00:56:38let the house
00:56:38go home.
00:56:38Let the house
00:56:41go home.
00:56:42Let the house
00:56:42go home.
00:58:05Oh, 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 overoptimistic.
00:58:13There's quite a shindig in London. They may be off to your blood, Gordon.
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. The village is very near panicky.
00:58:25If only I could get inside the children's minds and read their thoughts.
00:58:29It's 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.
00:58:42Come on.
00:58:45Yes, sir?
00:58:49I see, yes, sir.
00:58:53It's as though their minds were surrounded by...
00:58:58a brick wall.
00:59:00If only I could break through it.
00:59:03Yes, sir, certainly.
00:59:05Have I your permission to pass this on, sir?
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.
00:59:29And apparently they tried it out yesterday.
00:59:32On the village of Raminsk, where their children live.
00:59:36And the village of Raminsk no longer exists.
00:59:41You mean everyone there?
00:59:42The entire place.
00:59:44They gave no warning.
00:59:45They couldn't evacuate the villagers without the children,
00:59:47knowing what was to happen.
00:59:49They developed more quickly than ours.
00:59:50They'd begun to... 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 Midwich off the face of the earth.
01:00:05No, no, but...
01:00:07Well, in view of recent events,
01:00:09they feel your compromise has failed.
01:00:12Layton feels you ought to move immediately before it's too late.
01:00:15Destroy them.
01:00:18Well, they're... they're meeting tonight to come to a decision.
01:00:23They 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, gentlemen.
01:00:57Those that are with me, follow me.
01:00:59Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
01:01:02Come on.
01:01:02One more!
01:01:39One more!
01:02:16One more!
01:02:50One more!
01:03:02One more!
01:03:32One more!
01:03:55David, come here.
01:03:58I want to speak to you.
01:04:05A man is dead.
01:04:07We must protect ourselves.
01:04:09The law exists for your protection.
01:04:11It's of no use to us.
01:04:13Of no use to you, is it?
01:04:15And if you think you're going to be allowed to live by your own laws,
01:04:17laws we don't subscribe to...
01:04:19You're thinking of what happened to the others
01:04:21in another country.
01:04:24Yes, if you know about that,
01:04:25you should know what to expect.
01:04:27It'll not happen to us.
01:04:29You...
01:04:30It'll not happen to us because we have to survive.
01:04:33No matter what the cost.
01:04:40I don't think you'll go to London.
01:04:43We are now the only ones left.
01:04:46And you must learn that we're determined to survive,
01:04:50and that there's nothing you can do to stop us.
01:04:53You have to be taught to leave us alone.
01:04:58Leave...
01:05:00us...
01:05:02alone.
01:05:02alone.
01:05:24He's out of danger now.
01:05:25Go to the library.
01:05:26I'll join you there.
01:05:30I've never seen as severe a case of shock as this.
01:05:32It's medically impossible.
01:05:35For a while he was totally paralyzed.
01:05:38Now his...
01:05:39pupils are returning to normal.
01:05:44His pulse is less rapid.
01:05:45His colors returning.
01:05:49I've never seen anything like this before.
01:05:52It's time London sent him 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.
01:06:08But 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.
01:06:22David.
01:06:24What do you want here?
01:06:26I should have thought...
01:06:26I want to speak to my father.
01:06:35David.
01:06:36Why do you do these dreadful things?
01:06:39Wherever it is you come from, you're...
01:06:41you're part of us now.
01:06:44Couldn't you learn to live with us and...
01:06:46help us live with you?
01:06:47I want to speak to my father.
01:06:51The effects seem to be wearing off.
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, Anthea.
01:07:04But I...
01:07:05Please.
01:07:17You're not afraid of us.
01:07:20No.
01:07:22But 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...
01:07:29you 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.
01:07:39Go 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.
01:08:13Well, that'll take a bit of organizing.
01:08:15I need a few days.
01:08:16Yes.
01:08:17And be sure no one finds out.
01:08:20Otherwise, 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.
01:08:41Good night, Father.
01:08:44Good night, David.
01:08:57A brick wall.
01:09:03Good night.
01:09:04All right now?
01:09:05The sight's still a bit foggy, but clearing all the time.
01:09:11I'll just go and tell Gordon.
01:09:17Remember this?
01:09:18Yes.
01:09:20You wore a dark blue dress.
01:09:22Your hair was longer then.
01:09:25It caught the moonlight.
01:09:36We're ready, Gordon.
01:09:37Good.
01:09:38Good night.
01:09:41I wish you'd...
01:09:42It's 8.15.
01:09:44You'll be in London by 9.30.
01:09:45I wish you'd let me stay here.
01:09:48Oh, come with us.
01:09:48You know that isn't possible.
01:09:50I have things to do here.
01:09:51Poor old Alan would go into the nearest street if we let him drive.
01:09:55Nothing like feeling useless.
01:09:57You'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.
01:10:13Now, come on.
01:10:13I don't want you to be on the road all night.
01:10:17Yeah, now.
01:10:18This isn't like you.
01:10:20I know.
01:10:22It's silly of me, but I'm afraid of them.
01:10:25And I'm afraid for 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.
01:10:47Alan, look after her for me.
01:10:50I'll give you a ring in the morning.
01:10:52Yes.
01:10:54In the morning.
01:11:08Yes, sir.
01:11:13It's alright.
01:11:17Steve.
01:11:30Irisratova says it.
01:11:31Let's go.
01:12:23Let's go.
01:12:24A brick wall.
01:12:25Let's think of a brick wall.
01:12:35I'm sorry, old man.
01:12:37You can't come.
01:12:40Look after your mistress.
01:13:17Alan, what did he mean?
01:13:19What?
01:13:21Why should he ask you to take care of me?
01:13:24I don't know.
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.
01:13:51I'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.
01:14:12You were to tell us tonight what arrangements you'd 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.
01:14:41You'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.
01:14:56I 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.
01:15:08Brick wall.
01:15:11I must think of a brick wall.
01:15:16It's almost half past 8.
01:15:18A brick wall.
01:15:22Only a few seconds.
01:15:24A brick wall.
01:15:24A brick wall.
01:15:26A brick wall.
01:15:27A brick wall.
01:15:35I'll break the wall.
01:16:30I'll break the wall.
01:16:43I'll break the wall.
01:17:16I'll break the wall.
