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?
00:02:34Hello?
00:02:48Hello?
00:02:48Yes, sir.
00:03:47¶¶
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.
00:05:27But I was wondering, as I was going down for the weekend anyway,
00:05:29whether I could have your permission to leave earlier than I intended.
00:05:33All right, Alan. Give me a ring later. I shall be here till 5.
00:05:36Thank you, sir.
00:05:38Well, Alan.
00:05:39Yes, sir?
00:05:40Have a nice weekend. Give my respects to Gordon.
00:05:43I will. Goodbye, sir.
00:06:05Hello, Gobby.
00:06:07Oh, it's Major Bernard, sir.
00:06:08What's happened to the telephones you'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.
00:06:16We can't get through by phone either.
00:06:34There's your bus, Gobby.
00:06:37It's truth.
00:06:40Better have a look.
00:07:01It's not too late.
00:07:02I've just called.
00:07:02It's not too late.
00:07:02There's an electrician.
00:07:02There's some help.
00:07:02It's lovely.
00:07:06It's lovely.
00:07:09I'm so happy.
00:07:09It's lovely.
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.
00:07:53Start 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?
00:08:33Sir.
00:08:41Hold on.
00:08:44Hold on.
00:08:52Captain, now.
00:08:56Well, thank you. We're ready, Doctor.
00:09:07Well, Alan, what on earth's happening here?
00:09:08Just a minute. Oh, hello, Doctor. Glad you're here. We may need you.
00:09:30What's wrong with him? That's what we're trying to find out.
00:09:35Will you take a look at him, Doc? I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:44The house is normal. Seems to be breathing normally.
00:09:50I think he's just fainted.
00:09:53Ah, he's coming around.
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? Midwich?
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. I'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. All right, old chap. Take 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 learned it about a bit.
00:10:33The edges of the area are as well defined as that hedge there.
00:10:38Cold.
00:10:39What did you say?
00:10:40Ice cold.
00:10:43I'm all right, sir. Only cold.
00:10:46My hands like ice.
00:10:56Midwich to Charlie Alfa.
00:10:57Midwich to Charlie Alfa.
00:10:58Can you see anything? Over.
00:11:02Everything looks all right from here. Over.
00:11:05Maybe you speak to me.
00:11:08Hello, Charlie Alfa. This is Major Bernard speaking.
00:11:10Can you see nothing unusual at all in Midwich?
00:11:14Nothing moving?
00:11:15No, sir. Nothing.
00:11:17Matter of fact, that's odd. Nothing 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 unusual?
00:11:40Watch up.
00:11:48Nothing moving, sir.
00:11:50Taking it down.
00:11:52Careful now.
00:12:03Easy.
00:12:08Easy.
00:12:10Easy.
00:12:11Easy.
00:12:27Easy.
00:12:56Easy.
00:12:57You're approaching.
00:12:58Send 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.
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.
00:13:22Out.
00:13:39Blimey!
00:13:41Look!
00:13:52Look.
00:14:31Come on.
00:14:42Come on.
00:15:23Come on.
00:15:27Darling, I'm sorry. I must have dozed off.
00:15:33Look at the time. It's almost 3 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 find myself asleep on the floor.
00:16:00What an extraordinary thing to do.
00:16:07I'm... I'm cold.
00:16:11The fire has gone out.
00:16:14Did you...
00:16:17Did we faint?
00:16:19We must have blacked out.
00:16:22Why?
00:16:25My hands are quite numb.
00:16:29Oh.
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? 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 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 Medvedge was cut off from the outside world for several hours.
00:17:30The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:32The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:34The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:34The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:34The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:35The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:35The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:35The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:35The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:35The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:35The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:37The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:37The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:39The 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. Salovey!
00:18:09Yes, Miss Orville.
00:18:10You see, are these people from the telephone company?
00:18:13Not the telephone company, no.
00:18:15That's what I said.
00:18:16I mean, if they want to pull the wool over our eyes,
00:18:18they ought to try something better.
00:18:20Yes, 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
00:18:30while you help to stop the rumours getting about, all 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, but 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 Salovey.
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 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.
00:19:50It 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 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.
00:20:53Anything 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.
00:21:00Yes, I do seem to be getting through a lot these days, don't I?
00:21:03That'll be, um, seventeen and six.
00:21:05Shall I enter the account?
00:21:07Here, thank you.
00:21:08Oh, how's the professor?
00:21:09Oh, he's very well.
00:21:11Very well, indeed.
00:21:13Good morning.
00:21:14Good 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.
00:21:52Now, I've just discovered a fascinating thing.
00:21:54Here are the plant samples we took that day.
00:21:56Now, this one, for example, a perfectly ordained Pelagonium zonale.
00:21:59And you see what's happening?
00:22:00Exactly what you'd expect if I made a 50% ground.
00:22:02Why did you kiss me like that?
00:22:06Come on.
00:22:07What's the secret?
00:22:08Something's afoot.
00:22:09Why are you so happy?
00:22:12Now, Gordon, I want you to sit down.
00:22:15All right.
00:22:16Keep quite calm.
00:22:17There's nothing to worry about.
00:22:22Now, we have apparently succeeded in crossing a Xelopi Gordoneus with a Xelopi 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.
00:22:38Can I give you some tea?
00:22:40No.
00:22:41A drink.
00:22:42Well, that wouldn't be right.
00:22:44Uh, feed her.
00:22:45Something to eat?
00:22:46Yes, please.
00:22:47What?
00:22:47Uh,
00:22:49Cheese, pickles, and half a dozen anchovies.
00:22:52Recently, my favorite diet.
00:22:53Haven't you noticed?
00:22:54No.
00:22:55Mrs. Plumpton at the shop has.
00:22:57I've been too engrossed in my work.
00:22:59But we'll change all that.
00:23:10Thank you, darling.
00:23:12You've made my happiness complete.
00:23:15And all the more so because I'm old enough to appreciate it.
00:23:20Now, then.
00:23:21What was it you wanted?
00:23:22Cheese, pickles, and half a dozen anchovies.
00:23:40I'm afraid there's no doubt about it.
00:23:44Millie, I wish there was something I could say to comfort you because I know the sort of thing you'll
00:23:48have to put up with from some of the people in the village over this.
00:23:52But you can count on me to do anything I can to help you and your child.
00:23:55Do you think that I, do you think that I, do you think that I could?
00:23:58Millie, I've told you there's no doubt about it.
00:24:02Now, if there's anyone you want me to talk to about this.
00:24:05But I've never, it's impossible.
00:24:10It's impossible.
00:24:16This is some present, Jim.
00:24:18Thanks a lot.
00:24:19Where'd you say you got it?
00:24:20Tokyo?
00:24:21Oh, it's a real beauty.
00:24:24You 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 how.
00:24:37What's the matter with you?
00:24:39Jim comes back after a whole year away and you look 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, it's not right ethically.
00:25:16Oh, for heaven's sake, Vicar.
00:25:17How do you think I feel?
00:25:20I married late in life.
00:25:22When my wife told me that she was going to have a baby, it was the happiest moment I've
00:25:25ever known.
00:25:27Don't talk to me about ethics.
00:25:29Don't you see that this is something which concerns all of us?
00:25:32That this is the one moment when it is your, 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?
00:25:46Yes.
00:25:46She was terribly frightened, and frankly, so am I.
00:25:50I know these girls.
00:25:51I've watched them grow up.
00:25:52And when they tell me that they've no way of accounting for their condition, well, I'm
00:25:56compelled to believe them.
00:25:59That means that every woman in this village who is capable of childbirth is going to have
00:26:04a 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.
00:26:10And there's something else.
00:26:12All this seems to date from that day two months ago when Midwich was cut off from the
00:26:16rest of the world.
00:26:37Who's next?
00:26:48Who's next?
00:26:54Who's next?
00:27:01Who's next?
00:27:12Who's next?
00:27:21This is Anthea Zelopys, Doctor.
00:27:27Let'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.
00:28:12That 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?
00:28:29Because every night I lie awake and worry.
00:28:32Well, now you don't have to worry anymore.
00:28:34You don't really believe that, do you?
00:28:36Dr. Willis says...
00:28:37I don't care what Dr. Willis says.
00:28:39Right, so it's not a monster. 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!
00:28:59You 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.
00:29:12If it isn't...
00:29:12Gordon.
00:29:16I'm afraid.
00:29:22I'm so afraid.
00:29:24I'm afraid.
00:29:25I'm afraid.
00:29:41I'm afraid.
00:29:44Scary.
00:29:48Honey.
00:29:53Let's go.
00:30:23Let's go.
00:30:58Let's go.
00:31:43Let's go.

00:32:04Let's go.
00:32:05Let's go.
00:32:09Let's go.
00:32:12Let's go.
00:32:34Let's go.
00:32:53Let's go.
00:32:55Let's go.
00:33:01Let's go.
00:33:06Let's go.

00:34:30Let's go.
00:34:33Let's go.
00:34:35Let's go.
00:34:36Let's go.
00:34:43Let's go.
00:34:44Let's go.
00:34:46Let's go.
00:34:52Oh, go on.
00:35:00Now, what happened?
00:35:03I was giving David his bottle.
00:35:08I must have forgotten to test it.
00:35:11It was too hot for him.
00:35:14He's padded out.
00:35:15He just seemed to glare at her.
00:35:18Get my bag from the car.
00:35:19Is there for any reason to scald 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.
00:36:03Now, see if you can do it.
00:36:16That's right.
00:36:17That's it.
00:36:19And it comes down.
00:36:20...and it...
00:36:29Now, you've got it.
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.
00:36:45Very well. Now, 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. It's time to your bar.
00:37:25This is fantastic.
00:37:27You think so?
00:37:31Come with me.
00:37:33It's all right, David. It's only a box with the chocolates in it.
00:37:36I don't know, sir. I never lie to have chocolates.
00:37:38Well, well.
00:37:39It's quite harmless, really. I just gave some to David.
00:37:41Yes, sir.
00:38:07You 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, give it back to him at once.
00:38:44I want that.
00:39:20Oh, my God.
00:39:55Oh, my God.
00:39:58Oh, my God.
00:40:08No, Nancy.
00:40:10Leave 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.
00:40:32You're always all together.
00:40:33It's his turn to study.
00:40:35Is 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?
00:41:38Some 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.
00:42:10And 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? That'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.
00:42:58You're blinded by a man.
00:42:59Where's father gone?
00:43:00To London.
00:43:02You must hurry, David.
00:43:03Why?
00:43:07He'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?
00:43:15A conference.
00:43:18don't you like me to help you David thank you but I'm old enough to do things for
00:43:23myself father agrees with that darling your finger let me do that it doesn't hurt please
00:43:35don't fuss if I turn septic there you said I must hurry goodbye mother bye David a gentleman as the
00:43:53home secretary has permitted this disclosure I can now inform you that Midwich is not the only
00:44:00colony of such children here at the township in northern Australia 30 infants were born in one
00:44:06day apparently something went wrong all the children died within 10 hours of birth in an
00:44:14Eskimo community there were 10 births the community didn't take kindly to this golden-haired babies
00:44:20born of black-haired mothers violated the taboos none survived in the communist world there were
00:44:27two timeouts similar to the one at Midwich one at Irkutsk here on the borders of out of Mongolia a
00:44:34grim affair the men killed the children and their mothers second in the mountains of the Northwest
00:44:41all the children survived our reports so limited indicate that they're receiving education on the
00:44:47highest level all these timeouts happened on the same day as the one at Midwich this is now three
00:44:55years ago have we established anything about the origins of these children there's very little
00:44:59to go on Zelleby you must have some theory yes I suggest that Zelleby may be somewhat too intimately
00:45:05involved my position as a dubious father is influencing my scientific detachment is that
00:45:09what you think I have reason to believe so well let's hear what the others have to say
00:45:15Dr. Carlisle I went into the question of mutation once in a great many thousand years an abrupt jump
00:45:23may take place in animal or in vegetable life a 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 no sir
00:45:34it would not very well any other line of thought yes there is the possibility of the transmission of
00:45:41energy may I put it this way already we can direct radar beams out into space for the utmost accuracy
00:45:51electrical impulses have been bounced off the moon and we are continually receiving impulses from other
00:45:56planets and stars and impulses are energy and matter we're aware of that professor Smith where does it
00:46:03take us the professor and I think alike what we can do others elsewhere in the universe may be able
00:46:09to do better exactly let me get this straight you imply that these children may be the result of
00:46:14impulses directed towards us from somewhere in the universe well of course that's just a theory but
00:46:19there's nothing to disprove it they may be a case of mutation they may be the world's new people
00:46:25what we need is time to investigate time just a moment Zelleby General Layton you tell me of some
00:46:32developments at midwitch what are they a series of casualties mostly among the village children in
00:46:37each case after some contact with the others children get into fights all over the world these
00:46:42were not fights in the normal sense no direct physical violence was involved but two weeks ago a
00:46:48boy a good swimmer was drowned in the midwitch pond for no logical reason children also have
00:46:53accidents Gordon you've seen it for yourself the extraordinary power these children have and
00:47:00the sinister way they use it extraordinary power certainly yes that's precisely why we need time
00:47:05to now do it's only a matter of time before these children get entirely out of hand with fatal
00:47:10consequences what do you suggest that they be shut away you've been put in prison bluntly yes you
00:47:18might as well do away with them all together this isn't a police state yet but don't you see what
00:47:22you're doing if you imprison them you will deprive the scientific world of the greatest opportunity
00:47:27it has ever had opportunity for what for study gentlemen a great deal has been said here about
00:47:34the power of these children but nothing about the nature of this power what we are dealing with is a
00:47:39mass mind an entirely new development like like a colony of ants and bees these children all want to
00:47:47dress alike and what one learns they all learn i demonstrated this to ellen bernard they are one
00:47:54mind to the twelfth power now just think what it would mean if we could guide it we could leap
00:47:59forward
00:47:59in science a hundred years at the risk of being destroyed what cannot be understood must be put away
00:48:05is that your view the age-old fear of the unknown on the other hand ellaby leighton has a point
00:48:10there is a potential danger here we are gathered here as advisors as scientists as government experts
00:48:17now take a look at our world have we made a good job of it who's to say that these
00:48:22children are not the
00:48:23answer the answer to what well to wars to disease to human want and misery to all of the problems
00:48:29we've
00:48:29been unable to cope with if they don't make an end of us in the meantime we cannot throw away
00:48:33this potential
00:48:34just because of a few incidents what is your suggestion i'll compromise with leighton let them
00:48:39live together under one roof in our village where they can be kept under observation my department
00:48:44couldn't accept the responsibility i personally will assume full responsibility just give me a year
00:48:49mr home secretary i can't agree to this but all i ask is a year now surely that's not too
00:48:54much time
00:48:55when so much is at stake just give me one year very well i will officially recommend your compromise
00:49:08thank you gentlemen
00:49:19and that's as far as we shall go today our next lecture will deal with structure
00:49:25and by the way don't forget you'll be living here from tomorrow now
00:49:35why do you smile david you don't know how to put your question
00:49:42there isn't much point in my trying to be subtle is there the question i was going to put was
00:49:47by the way
00:49:51just how deep do you see into my mind everything that's in the front of your mind the thought
00:49:57processes the reasoning that leads to my spoken words we still have to master that it'll come
00:50:24and let me put it this way it is possible that life exists elsewhere isn't it
00:50:37well we don't seem to be getting anywhere why are you so nervous when an aircraft flies above you
00:50:44you're very observant father yes but that doesn't answer my question all right until recently we haven't
00:50:52been able to make our control reach as far as a high aircraft well now you have is that it
00:51:00what are you going to do with that power father we know what you're trying to find out
00:51:07it'd be better if you didn't ask these questions we want to learn from you
00:51:15all right that'll be all for today
00:51:23david yes father
00:51:29i'll walk home
00:51:30what i meant was that you don't have to go david if you don't want to
00:51:37i'd rather go you mean that because the others are moving into the school you feel that you must
00:51:42do is that the logic yes your mother is quite distressed about it i don't really know why i should
00:51:48be lots of parents send their children away to school and david will only be half a mile away
00:51:54i suppose there's nothing that'll make you change your mind no
00:52:02i think that's all
00:52:07thank you
00:52:30thank you
00:52:32i'm very sorry it was all my fault
00:52:36you all right
00:53:05i'm
00:53:07i'm
00:53:13i'm
00:53:25i'm
00:53:26i'm
00:53:27i'm
00:53:27i'm
00:53:27i'm
00:53:36mrs zellerby i wish you would be more specific in your testimony
00:53:41i know these things are difficult but it's our obligation to determine the responsibility for
00:53:46this man's death
00:53:48i find it very difficult to remember
00:53:53i
00:53:54i
00:53:55i
00:53:56you told constable gobby you heard the screech of his brakes
00:54:01yes that's right
00:54:04he
00:54:08he got out of the car
00:54:17then what did he do mrs zellerby
00:54:24he got back into the car
00:54:30and drove straight for the wall
00:54:35thank you mrs zellerby i don't think we need go any further
00:54:39it seems to me quite apparent what happened here edward paul the deceased his vision obscured
00:54:45came 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 accidental death
00:54:57mrs zellerby you know they killed him
00:55:01ask them just ask them
00:55:06who is that man
00:55:08james paul sir brother of the deceased
00:55:12and i shall level up at this outpost
00:55:19gordon can't you see now that midwich is living on top of a volcano a force is building up sooner
00:55:24or
00:55:24later it's bound to explode we still haven't any proof for heaven's sake how much more proof do you
00:55:28need the death of james paul alan i'm much more aware of the situation than you think
00:55:41jim why not look what they did to my brother this won't bring it back who's gonna stop them if
00:55:45i
00:55:45don't try you can't stop them with that believe me they're not human they ought to be destroyed go home
00:55:51jim
00:55:52i said go home leave here now before they get any closer
00:56:00all right mr zellerby
00:56:24so
00:56:33so
00:56:34so
00:56:34so
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.
00:58:44Yes, sir?
00:58:49I see here, sir.
00:58:53It's as though their minds were surrounded by a brick wall.
00:59:00If only I could break through it.
00:59:03Yes, sir.
00:59:04Certainly.
00:59:05Have I your permission to pass this on, sir?
00:59:08Right.
00:59:09Thank you, sir.
00:59:09Goodbye.
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 on 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 knowing what was to happen.
00:59:49They 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 Midwich off the face of the earth.
01:00:05No, no.
01:00:06But in view of recent events, they feel your compromise has failed.
01:00:12Layton feels we ought to move immediately before it's too late.
01:00:15Destroy them.
01:00:17Well, they're meeting tonight to come to a decision.
01:00:22They want me in town.
01:00:44What I say is, it's got to stop.
01:00:49First aid, then Jim Paul.
01:00:51The authorities don't do nothing.
01:00:53Are we going to wait until we all get wiped out?
01:00:57Those that are with me, follow me.
01:00:59Let's go!
01:01:00Let's go!
01:01:01Let's go!

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.
01:13:25I don't know.
01:13:26Just a manner of speech, I suppose.
01:13:43What's the matter?
01:13:45Alan, I'm going back.
01:13:47Why?
01:13:48I'm going back.
01:13:59Good evening, children.
01:14:01Good evening, children.
01:14:02Tonight we shall talk about atomic energy and how discoveries made about 100 years ago completely changed our conception of
01:14:10the elements and the place of the atom.
01:14:12You were to tell us tonight.
01:14:15You were to tell us tonight what arrangements you had made for us.
01:14:17The place of the atom.
01:14:20The place of the atom.
01:14:21It's 8.27.
01:14:23Why are you nervous?
01:14:27The arrangements, yes.
01:14:29Yes.
01:14:30Yes.
01:14:30I'll tell you about those in a few moments.
01:14:33But first of all, I want to finish my lesson.
01:14:35The question of atomic energy.
01:14:41You're not thinking of atomic energy.
01:14:45You're thinking of a brick wall.
01:14:53A 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.
01:15:08A brick wall.
01:15:09A brick wall.
01:15:11A brick wall.
01:15:13A brick wall.
01:15:16A brick wall.
01:15:18A brick wall.
01:15:24A brick wall.
01:15:26A brick wall.
01:15:27A brick wall.
01:15:29A brick wall.
01:15:31A brick wall.
01:15:32A brick wall.
01:15:33A brick wall.
01:15:33A brick wall.
01:15:34Neil, I'll break the wall.
01:16:32I'll break the wall.
01:16:51I'll break the wall.
01:17:18I'll break the wall.
