00:00:46Good morning.
00:00:48Would you give me Major Bernard his life-hall number?
00:01:06Well, thank you.
00:01:09Alan?
00:01:10It's good.
00:01:11Look, you're coming down here today, aren't you?
00:01:15Could you pick up a book for me and bring it with you?
00:01:17It's...
00:01:31Gordon?
00:01:35Operator?
00:01:37Operator?
00:01:40You're a little blaster.
00:01:42Got cut off.
00:01:44That was my brother-in-law.
00:01:45Would you try and get through again?
00:01:46I've got to go and change.
00:01:47Yes, sir.
00:01:51Operator?
00:01:52You've been cut off from Midwich 2-5.
00:01:55Would you get it again, please?
00:01:57Hello?
00:01:58Hello?
00:01:59Will you replace your receiver, please?
00:02:01Please replace your receiver.
00:02:05Hello?
00:02:06Hello?
00:02:08Hello?
00:02:51This is production.
00:02:52You're going to be brought in.
00:02:55This is food ready.
00:02:57We'll be
00:02:59This is coming.
00:05:15Yes, I know sir, but look here sir. Midwich is here. Now 4th Brigade are running that exercise of theirs
00:05:23all round it.
00:05:25Well, I don't suppose there is anything in it, but I was wondering, as I was going down for the
00:05:28weekend anyway, whether I could have your permission to leave earlier than I intended.
00:05:33All right, Alan. Give me a ring later. I'll be here till five. Thank you, sir.
00:05:37Oh, Alan. Yes, sir. Have a nice weekend. Give my respects to God. I will. Goodbye, sir.
00:06:05Hello, Gobby. Oh, it's Major Bernard, sir.
00:06:08Gobby, what's happened to the telephones who've been trying to get through all morning?
00:06:11It's funny you should ask, Major. I've just been sent to look for the bus which hasn't turned up. We
00:06:16can't get through by phone either.
00:06:34Here's your bus, Gobby.
00:06:37Here's your bus, Gobby. It's truth. Better have a look.
00:06:41Gobby, go.
00:06:48Gobby, go.
00:07:01Gobby, go.
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, yeah.
00:07:25Tell him to call me if he wants authorization.
00:07:27I'll get things moving this end.
00:07:29Oh, Alan.
00:07:29Yes, sir?
00:07:30Make sure the newspapers don't get hold of this for the time being.
00:07:33If anything has got out of hand there, we don't want any panic.
00:07:37Report back as soon as you're having a result.
00:07:39Right, sir.
00:07:41Get me Southeast in command, please.
00:07:45Over here, Sergeant.
00:08:30You needn't go in if you don't want to.
00:08:31I'll have a go, sir.
00:08:33Quite sure?
00:08:33Sir.
00:08:42Open up!
00:08:53Captain, now.
00:08:55Well, we'll make you a razor.
00:09:08Just a minute.
00:09:09Oh, hello, doctor.
00:09:10Glad you're here.
00:09:11We need you.
00:09:35We'll take a look at him, doc.
00:09:37I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:38I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:43I'll take off the respirator.
00:09:44The house is normal.
00:09:46Seems to be breathing normally.
00:09:50I think he's just fainted.
00:09:53It's coming around.
00:09:55Alan, 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?
00:10:00About ten o'clock.
00:10:01Had a couple of patients to see in Widmarsh.
00:10:03Now there are roadblocks all over the place, Alan.
00:10:05I've got to get back.
00:10:06I've got patients to see.
00:10:08Well, my hunch is that all your patients in Midwich
00:10:09are in the same state as this man.
00:10:13All right.
00:10:14All right, old chap.
00:10:15Take it easy.
00:10:17Take it easy.
00:10:19What can it be?
00:10:21To put a man out like a light,
00:10:23penetrate our respirators,
00:10:24do all this.
00:10:27Some sort of gas?
00:10:29No, it can't be.
00:10:31Any breeze would have landed about a bit.
00:10:33The edges of the area are as well defined
00:10:34as that hedge there.
00:10:37Cold.
00:10:39What did you say?
00:10:40Ice cold.
00:10:43I'm all right, sir.
00:10:44Only cold.
00:10:46My hands white ice.
00:10:56Midwich to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:57Midwich to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:58Can you see anything?
00:11:00Over.
00:11:02Everything looks all right from here.
00:11:04Over.
00:11:05Maybe you speak to me.
00:11:08Hello, Charlie Alpha.
00:11:09This is Major Bernard's meeting.
00:11:11Can you see nothing unusual at all in Midwich?
00:11:14Nothing moving?
00:11:14No, 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,
00:11:22but they're not moving either.
00:11:26They'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,
00:11:33but pull up the minute you feel anything.
00:11:35Feel anything, sir?
00:11:37Anything unusual?
00:11:40Take it down.
00:11:40Watch up.
00:11:48Two more things moving, sir.
00:11:50Taking it down.
00:11:52Careful now.
00:12:03Easy.
00:12:08Easy.
00:12:12Easy.
00:12:14Easy.
00:12:17Easy.
00:12:17Easy.
00:12:17Easy.
00:12:17Easy.
00:12:19Easy.
00:12:20Easy.
00:12:22Easy.
00:12:25Easy.
00:12:26Easy.
00:12:27Easy.
00:12:29Easy.
00:12:56There's another aircraft approaching, send out a general warning immediately.
00:12:59All aircraft to avoid this area are not to drop below 5,000 feet.
00:13:02Yes, sir.
00:13:03Midwich to base, Midwich to base.
00:13:05Emergency.
00:13:06I say again, emergency.
00:13:07On all aircraft to avoid area, 5 miles radius.
00:13:11Latitude, 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!
00:13:42Look!
00:13:42They won't take a move.
00:13:46Blimey!
00:13:59хороший nose, 15 seconds.
00:14:03Blimey!
00:14:05Blimey!
00:14:06Blimey!
00:14:11Bon, Those are men!
00:15:42See a bad lunch.
00:15:47Anthea?
00:15:55I find myself asleep on the floor.
00:16:00It's an extraordinary thing to do.
00:16:04Oh, I'm...
00:16:08I'm cold.
00:16:11I've gone out.
00:16:14Did you...
00:16:16Did we faint?
00:16:19We must have blacked out.
00:16:20Why?
00:16:25Well, I...
00:16:26I have been quite numb.
00:16:33Gordon, what did happen?
00:16:36I don't know.
00:16:56Alan!
00:16:57You're all right.
00:16:59You're late.
00:16:59I couldn't get through.
00:17:01Get through?
00:17:02Alan, what did you mean, you're all right?
00:17:03I mean, how did you know?
00:17:04Well, it's an extraordinary thing, but we seem to have blacked out for several hours.
00:17:07I know.
00:17:08It must have been some sort of slow peak in the gas.
00:17:10Where did you go to?
00:17:10The whole village fell asleep.
00:17:12The village?
00:17:13All of Medvedge was cut off from the outside world for several hours.
00:17:29The village fell asleep.
00:18:00Anything registering, sir?
00:18:02No, sir.
00:18:02Nothing unusual.
00:18:03Well, keep at it.
00:18:07Oh, Mr. Sellaby.
00:18:09Sir, yes, Miss Oval.
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.
00:18:19Yes, well, I'm trying to find out.
00:18:21After all, we're not stupid, are we?
00:18:23What's happened isn't natural.
00:18:25I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:18:27I'll press for an official explanation while you help to stop the rumours getting about.
00:18:33All right?
00:18:38Do you mind?
00:18:40Soil samples?
00:18:41Yes, sir.
00:18:41Plant pipe?
00:18:42Even the bark on the trees, but I don't think it's...
00:18:43Don't forget insects, grasses, water, metals.
00:18:46The sooner and more elaborate these tests can be made, the better.
00:18:48Yes, sir.
00:18:49It's quite all right.
00:18:50This is Professor Gordon Sellaby.
00:18:51Oh, yes, I certainly am.
00:18:54Well, no one seems to have come to any harm.
00:18:57You cut some bruises where they fell.
00:19:00Lucky no one was in their bath.
00:19:01They might have been drowned.
00:19:03Yes.
00:19:03Hello, Mrs. Harrington.
00:19:04Well, I think the least they can do is offer us some kind of compensation.
00:19:09But you feel all right?
00:19:10No thanks to them.
00:19:11If I do, I'm going to large burn my best dress into the bargain.
00:19:15What the wife means is, well, you don't hardly expect to drop asleep before dinner, do you?
00:19:22We've established that whatever it was was static, odourless, invisible.
00:19:27It didn't register on radar.
00:19:28It was non-metallic.
00:19:29It showed nothing on our Geiger counters.
00:19:31You've got the reports there, Gordon.
00:19:32There are no signs of any physical, biological, or psychological changes.
00:19:36Well, that's practically meaningless.
00:19:38For instance, serious exposure to X-rays or gamma rays need not have an immediate effect.
00:19:45But these people have to be kept under observation.
00:19:47And yourself.
00:19:48And my household.
00:19:50It would be tricky to put you all in the sanatorium.
00:19:52In any case, my instructions are to keep this whole incident out of the limelight.
00:19:56National security, eh?
00:19:58If you like.
00:19:59Well, until we know the cause, we shan't know what to expect.
00:20:03Since you're there, Gordon, suppose you keep an eye on Midwich Forest.
00:20:06If you do find anything, let us know through Alan.
00:20:08No need for any direct contact between us.
00:20:11More security, eh?
00:20:12Have a cautious.
00:20:14Gets under the skin, you know.
00:20:15You know.
00:20:20Gets under the skin.
00:20:45You need to relax.
00:20:52Anything else today, Mrs. Ellaby?
00:20:54No, that's all, thank you.
00:20:56I'll have to get in a new supply of these pickles, if you go on like this.
00:20:59Yes, I do seem to be getting through a lot these days, don't I?
00:21:02That'll be 17 and 6.
00:21:05Slide into the account.
00:21:07Here, thank you.
00:21:08Oh, how's the professor?
00:21:10Oh, he's very well.
00:21:11Very well indeed.
00:21:13Good morning.
00:21:14Good morning.
00:21:20Miss 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.
00:21:39Oh, how long have you been here?
00:21:43Ages.
00:21:44Naya.
00:21:52I've just discovered a fascinating thing.
00:21:53Here are the plant samples we took that day.
00:21:56Now, this one, for example, a perfectly ordinate Pellabonium zanali.
00:21:59And you see what's happening?
00:22:00Exactly what you'd expect if I made a 50% of ground.
00:22:02Why did you kiss me like that?
00:22:05Why did you kiss me like that?
00:22:06Oh, come 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.
00:22:16Keep quite calm.
00:22:17There's nothing to worry about.
00:22:21Now, we have apparently succeeded in crossing a Xelopi Gordoneus with a Xelopi Antheum.
00:22:29Just what the results will be, we shan't know for some time yet.
00:22:36I think you should sit down.
00:22:38It was indeed.
00:22:40No.
00:22:41A drink.
00:22:42Well, that would be right.
00:22:44Feed her.
00:22:45Something to eat.
00:22:46Yes, please.
00:22:47What?
00:22:48Uh, cheese, pickles, and half a dozen anchovies.
00:22:52Recently my favourite diet.
00:22:53Haven't you noticed?
00:22:55Mrs. Plumpton at the shop has.
00:22:57I've been too engrossed in my work.
00:22:59And 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 you.
00:23:20Now then, what was it you wanted?
00:23:22Cheese, pickles, and half a dozen.
00:23:26I'm sure it is.
00:23:39I'm afraid there's no doubt about it.
00:23:43Millie, I wish there was something I could say to comfort you
00:23:47because I know the sort of thing you'll have to put up with
00:23:49from 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...
00:23:57Do you think that I can't...
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 heard...
00:24:07It's impossible.
00:24:10It's impossible.
00:24:16This is some present, Jim.
00:24:18Thanks a lot.
00:24:19Where'd you say you got it?
00:24:20Tokyo?
00:24:21Oh, it's a real beauty.
00:24:23You can take action pictures in this light.
00:24:26Jan, look at me.
00:24:28When I learn to use this properly, I might go into the photo business.
00:24:31Jan, turn this way.
00:24:34That's right.
00:24:35I want to see how.
00:24:36What's the matter with you?
00:24:38Jim comes back after a whole year away
00:24:40and 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.
00:25:01There's three 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.
00:25:06That's why we are asking you to tell us, Vicar.
00:25:09Please don't keep on.
00:25:11Don't you see that what you're asking me is 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 when it is your duty to break confidence?
00:25:39Very well.
00:25:40Four of them have been to see me.
00:25:42One of them is only 17.
00:25:45You've been hanging.
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:46She was terribly frightened.
00:25:48And frankly, so am I.
00:25:50I know these girls.
00:25:51I've watched them grow up.
00:25:52And when they tell me that they have no way of accounting for their condition,
00:25:55well, I'm compelled to believe them.
00:26:00Every woman in this village who is capable of childbirth is going to have a baby.
00:26:04I can't believe it.
00:26:06This is not a matter of belief, Vicar.
00:26:08It's a matter of fact.
00:26:09And there's something else.
00:26:11All this seems to date from that day two months ago when Midwich was cut off from the rest of
00:26:16the world.
00:26:36Who's next?
00:26:38I can't believe it.
00:26:45I can't believe it.
00:27:21This is Anthea Zalabist, 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.
00:27:50It'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.
00:28:15Well, it's going to be all right.
00:28:17Is it? Is that what you believe?
00:28:22You'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?
00:28:51What sort of brain it has?
00:28:53Where it comes from?
00:28:54Does it tell me that?
00:28:55Where does it come from?
00:28:57Stop it!
00:28:59We must stop it.
00:29:00We've got to be rational about this.
00:29:03We may not be any better off than any of the others,
00:29:05but there's absolutely nothing we can do but wait.
00:29:07Gordon.
00:29:09Maybe it's ours, maybe it isn't.
00:29:11If it's ours, we shall know. If it isn't...
00:29:12Gordon.
00:29:15I'm afraid.
00:29:22I'm so afraid.
00:29:54I'm angry now!
00:29:54W arse...
00:30:02We're having fun.
00:30:04Overthole...
00:30:04What is it?
00:30:05Just a moment...
00:30:05In my eyes...
00:30:06... he'll remember...
00:30:06... where...
00:30:06Oh...
00:30:10...ềq...
00:30:10... ...
00:31:45It's a terrible visit, Mr. Zelleby, but doctor said to tell you that Mrs. Zelleby's fine.
00:31:49And the baby?
00:31:50Perfect.
00:31:51In every respect?
00:31:52Oh, pardon.
00:31:53You want a cigarette?
00:31:54How about the baby?
00:31:55Oh, splendid.
00:31:56Unusually heavy, though.
00:31:57Ten pounds, eight ounces.
00:32:00Straight lies.
00:32:01Oh, I shall go in there.
00:32:04A cigarette?
00:32:06Yes, of course.
00:32:09How many others have been delivered so far tonight?
00:32:12Alty is my third.
00:32:15What about there, Wade?
00:32:17Or slightly over ten pounds?
00:32:21All but these strange eyes.
00:32:27All that worried.
00:32:29Now.
00:32:31God, have you seen him?
00:32:35Such a beautiful baby.
00:32:54I do love you so.
00:33:01He's probably jealous.
00:33:06Now, be quiet, Luna.
00:33:07Lie down and behave yourself.
00:33:22Hansel, isn't he?
00:33:30Take a look at this, doctor.
00:33:32The section of hair.
00:33:37Yes, it's flat on one side.
00:33:40On the other, an arc.
00:33:41Somewhat in the shape of a narrow capital D.
00:33:45It belongs to my son, David.
00:33:48Have you ever seen such a hair type before?
00:33:53Have you noticed their nails?
00:33:55Yes, they're narrower than ours.
00:33:57Covering less of the upper surface of the digit,
00:33:59but as flat as normal nails.
00:34:03What did the blood test show?
00:34:04It's too early to tell.
00:34:06The blood circulating at present is still that in the mother's group.
00:34:09So they are apparently normal children with these exceptions.
00:34:12Strange eyes, arresting I would say,
00:34:15an unknown hair group,
00:34:17and unusual fingernails.
00:34:21Well, if they are,
00:34:21their physical development is absolutely startling.
00:34:24In the point of time, they're four months old,
00:34:27but their development of capabilities is that of 18 months.
00:34:58Now, what happened?
00:35:03I was giving David his bottle.
00:35:07I must have forgotten the test.
00:35:10It was too hot for him.
00:35:14He's badded out.
00:35:15He just seemed to glare at him.
00:35:18Get my bag from the car.
00:35:19Is there for you reason to squall yourself?
00:35:53I was giving David his bottle.
00:36:00But if you do just what I've shown you, it comes open.
00:36:03I'll see if you can do it.
00:36:04I'll see if you can.
00:36:23I'll see you in the back.
00:36:29No, it's not.
00:36:35Splendid.
00:36:36Well, you see, it shows that I was right to marry your sister.
00:36:40Your family has brains.
00:36:43I can't do this myself.
00:36:45There you are.
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?
00:36:59There's something inside.
00:37:00It's a chocolate.
00:37:20Come along.
00:37:21Time for your bar.
00:37:24This is fantastic.
00:37:27You think so?
00:37:31Come with me.
00:37:33It's all right, David.
00:37:34It's only a box for the chocolates.
00:37:36I don't know, sir.
00:37:37I'll never lie to have chocolates.
00:37:38Well, it's quite harmless, really.
00:37:40I just gave some to them.
00:38:07But you didn't even show her how to do it.
00:38:09Well, that's exactly my point.
00:38:10I didn't have to.
00:38:12If you demonstrate something to one of them, they all know it.
00:38:16Now watch.
00:38:25Keith, give it back to him.
00:38:27Once.
00:38:27Host.
00:38:41Honey.
00:38:48Listen.
00:38:51Bye-bye.
00:38:52Here we go.
00:38:56Thanks, body.
00:38:57Thanks, coroner.
00:40:08No, Nancy.
00:40:10Leave them alone.
00:40:19Ted Rowan, you come inside this moment.
00:40:22I've told you about playing with those children before.
00:40:30That's my Philip.
00:40:31You're always all together.
00:40:33It's his turn to study.
00:40:34Is it your home?
00:40:36It's his home too.
00:40:39You're anxious for us to leave, aren't you?
00:40:42You have the same every week.
00:40:4412 jars, 15 shillings.
00:40:53You wish we wouldn't come here anymore, Mrs. Plumpton.
00:40:56No, I never say it.
00:40:58It's what you're thinking.
00:41:00You've nothing to fear from us.
00:41:02However, in future, someone else will come for our order.
00:41:06Good-bye, Mrs. Plumpton.
00:41:08Good afternoon, Miss Ogle.
00:41:33All ready, Gordon.
00:41:37A coffee?
00:41:39No, thanks.
00:41:44Gordon, do you think Anthea should know about this conference?
00:41:48What's being discussed?
00:41:49There's no reason to alarm her just because you're alarmed.
00:41:54I've got to a cold scientific detachment.
00:41:59People, 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?
00:42:16Intellect?
00:42:17That's all you care about.
00:42:18What if you can't teach them?
00:42:19What if you can't put the break of morals on them?
00:42:24First, we must try.
00:42:25You're blinded by this vision of intellect.
00:42:27You see, David is another Einstein.
00:42:28Potentially greater.
00:42:29Solving the riddle of the universe.
00:42:31Your son, David.
00:42:34Anthea's son.
00:42:35I have no proof that he's mine.
00:42:58Where's father gone?
00:43:00To London.
00:43:01You must hurry, David.
00:43:03Why?
00:43:07You'll be late.
00:43:08No, I meant, why has he gone to London?
00:43:11He has some business there.
00:43:13What sort of business?
00:43:15Conference.
00:43:18Don't you like me to help you, David?
00:43:21Thank you, but I'm old enough to do things for myself.
00:43:24Father agrees with that.
00:43:28Darling, your finger.
00:43:31Let me do that.
00:43:33It doesn't hurt.
00:43:35Please don't fuss.
00:43:36I'd like to incept it.
00:43:39There.
00:43:43You said I must hurry.
00:43:46Goodbye, Mother.
00:43:49Goodbye, David.
00:43:52Gentlemen,
00:43:53as the Home Secretary has permitted this disclosure,
00:43:56I can now inform you
00:43:57that Midwich
00:43:58is not the only colony of such children.
00:44:02Here,
00:44:03at the township in Northern Australia,
00:44:0530 infants were born in one day.
00:44:07Apparently something went wrong.
00:44:09All the children died within 10 hours of birth.
00:44:13In an Eskimo community,
00:44:14there were 10 births.
00:44:16The community didn't take kindly to this.
00:44:19Golden-haired babies,
00:44:20born of black-haired mothers,
00:44:21violated the taboos.
00:44:23None survived.
00:44:25In the Communist world,
00:44:26there were two time-outs,
00:44:28similar to the one at Midwich.
00:44:30One,
00:44:30at Irkutsk,
00:44:31here,
00:44:32on the borders of Outer Mongolia.
00:44:34A grim affair.
00:44:35The men killed the children,
00:44:37and their mothers.
00:44:39Second,
00:44:39in the mountains of the Northwest,
00:44:41all the children survived.
00:44:43Our reports,
00:44:44though limited,
00:44:45indicate that they're receiving education
00:44:46on the highest level.
00:44:49All these time-outs
00:44:50happened on the same day
00:44:51as the one at Midwich.
00:44:54This is now three years ago.
00:44:56Haven't we established anything
00:44:56about the origins of these children?
00:44:58There's very little to go on.
00:45:00Zeleby,
00:45:01you must have some theory.
00:45:02Yes,
00:45:02I suggest that Zeleby
00:45:03may be somewhat too intimately involved.
00:45:05My position as a dubious father
00:45:07is influencing my scientific detachment.
00:45:09Is that what you think?
00:45:10I have reason to believe so.
00:45:12Well,
00:45:12let's hear what the others have to say.
00:45:15Dr. Carlyle,
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 for periods of several hours?
00:45:33No, sir.
00:45:34It would not.
00:45:35Very well.
00:45:36Any other line of thought?
00:45:38Yes.
00:45:38There is the possibility
00:45:40of the transmission of energy.
00:45:42May I put it this way?
00:45:45Already,
00:45:46we can direct radar beams
00:45:47out into space
00:45:48with the utmost accuracy.
00:45:51Electrical impulses
00:45:52have been bounced off the moon
00:45:53and we are continually
00:45:54receiving impulses
00:45:56from other planets and stars.
00:45:58And impulses
00:45:59are energy
00:46:00and matter.
00:46:00We are aware of that,
00:46:02Professor Smith.
00:46:02Where does it take us?
00:46:03The professor and I think alike.
00:46:05What we can do,
00:46:06others,
00:46:07elsewhere in the universe,
00:46:08may be able to do better.
00:46:09Exactly.
00:46:11Let me get this straight.
00:46:12You imply that these children
00:46:13may be the result
00:46:14of impulses
00:46:15directed towards us
00:46:16from somewhere 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
00:46:26is time to investigate.
00:46:28Time!
00:46:29Just a moment, sir.
00:46:29A bit.
00:46:30General Layton,
00:46:31you tell me of some developments
00:46:32of Midwich.
00:46:33What are they?
00:46:34A series of casualties,
00:46:35mostly among the village children.
00:46:37In each case,
00:46:38after some contact
00:46:39with the others.
00:46:39Children 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.
00:46:57Extraordinary power
00:46:58these children have.
00:46:59The sinister way
00:47:00they use it.
00:47:01Extraordinary power,
00:47:02certainly.
00:47:03Yes, that's precisely
00:47:03why we need time.
00:47:05Time 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.
00:47:11What do you suggest?
00:47:13That they be shut away.
00:47:15They've been put in prison.
00:47:16I'm saying yes.
00:47:17You might as well
00:47:18do away with them altogether.
00:47:19This isn't the police state.
00:47:21Yes.
00:47:21Don't you see
00:47:22what you're doing?
00:47:23If you imprison them,
00:47:24you will deprive
00:47:25the scientific world
00:47:26of the greatest opportunity
00:47:27it has ever had.
00:47:28Opportunity for what?
00:47:30For study.
00:47:31Gentlemen,
00:47:32a great deal
00:47:33has been said here
00:47:34about the power
00:47:34of these children,
00:47:35but nothing about
00:47:36the nature of this power.
00:47:37What we're dealing with
00:47:38is a mass mind,
00:47:40an entirely new development,
00:47:42like a colony of ants
00:47:44and bees.
00:47:46These children
00:47:46all want to dress alike,
00:47:48and what one learns,
00:47:49they all learn.
00:47:50I demonstrated this
00:47:51to Ellen Burnett.
00:47:52They are one mind
00:47:54to the 12th power.
00:47:55Now, just think
00:47:56what it would mean
00:47:57if we could guide it.
00:47:58We could leap forward
00:47:59in science a hundred years
00:48:01at the risk
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,
00:48:09Ellery,
00:48:09Layton has a point.
00:48:10There is a potential
00:48:11danger here.
00:48:12We are gathered here
00:48:13as advisors,
00:48:14as scientists,
00:48:15as government experts.
00:48:17Now, take a look
00:48:18at our world.
00:48:19Have we made
00:48:20a good job of it?
00:48:21Who's to say
00:48:22that these children
00:48:22are not the answer?
00:48:24The answer to what?
00:48:25Well, to wars,
00:48:26to disease,
00:48:26to human want
00:48:27and misery,
00:48:28to all of the problems
00:48:29we've been unable
00:48:29to cope with.
00:48:30If they don't make
00:48:31an end of us
00:48:31in the meantime.
00:48:32We cannot throw away
00:48:33this potential
00:48:34just because of
00:48:35a few incidents.
00:48:36What is your suggestion?
00:48:37I'll compromise
00:48:38the Layton.
00:48:38Let them live together
00:48:40under one roof
00:48:40in our village
00:48:41where they can be
00:48:41kept under observation.
00:48:43My department
00:48:43couldn't accept
00:48:44the responsibility.
00:48:45I personally
00:48:46will assume
00:48:46full responsibility.
00:48:48Just give me a year.
00:48:49Mr. Home Secretary,
00:48:50I can't agree to this.
00:48:51But all I ask
00:48:52is a year.
00:48:53Now, surely
00:48:54that's not too much time
00:48:55when so much is at stake.
00:48:57Just give me
00:48:58one year.
00:49:05Very well.
00:49:06I will officially
00:49:07recommend your compromise.
00:49:09Thank you, gentlemen.
00:49:19That's as far
00:49:20as we shall go today.
00:49:22Our next lecture
00:49:23will be with structure.
00:49:25And by the way,
00:49:26don't forget
00:49:26you'll be living here
00:49:27from tomorrow.
00:49:28Now,
00:49:35why do you smile,
00:49:36David?
00:49:37You don't know
00:49:38how to put your question.
00:49:42There isn't much point
00:49:43in my trying to be subtle,
00:49:44is there?
00:49:45The question I was going to put
00:49:47was...
00:49:47why are we...
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 of your mind.
00:49:56The thought processes?
00:49:58The reasoning
00:49:59that leads
00:50:00to my spoken word?
00:50:01We still have
00:50:02to master that.
00:50:03It'll come.
00:50:05Hmm.
00:50:05Well, that's frank.
00:50:06Thank you, David.
00:50:08At least I still
00:50:09have some privacy.
00:50:11Now,
00:50:12the question
00:50:12I want to ask
00:50:13is this.
00:50:14Are you aware
00:50:15of life
00:50:15on another planet?
00:50:25And let me put it
00:50:26this way.
00:50:27It is possible
00:50:28that life exists
00:50:29elsewhere,
00:50:30isn't it?
00:50:37We don't seem
00:50:38to be getting anywhere.
00:50:40Why are you so nervous
00:50:42when an aircraft
00:50:42flies above you?
00:50:43You're very observant,
00:50:45Father.
00:50:47Yes,
00:50:47that doesn'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.
00:50:55Now you have.
00:50:56Is that it?
00:50:57Yes.
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00What are you going
00:51:01to do
00:51:01with that power?
00:51:03Father,
00:51:04we know
00:51:05what you're
00:51:05trying to 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
00:51:12from you.
00:51:14All right.
00:51:15That'll be all
00:51:16for today.
00:51:22David?
00:51:23Yes,
00:51:24Father?
00:51:32What I meant
00:51:33was that
00:51:34you don't
00:51:34have to go,
00:51:35David,
00:51:35if you don't
00:51:35want to.
00:51:37I'd rather go.
00:51:38You mean that
00:51:39because the others
00:51:40are moving into
00:51:40the school,
00:51:41you feel that
00:51:41you must too?
00:51:42Is that the logic?
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:44Your mother
00:51:44is quite distressed
00:51:45about it.
00:51:46I don't really
00:51:47know why I should be.
00:51:49Lots of parents
00:51:49send their children
00:51:50away to school
00:51:51and David
00:51:51will only be
00:51:52half a mile away.
00:51:53I suppose
00:51:54there's nothing
00:51:55that'll make you
00:51:55change your mind.
00:51:57No.
00:52:02I think that's all.
00:52:32I'm fairly sorry.
00:52:33It was all my fault.
00:52:36You all right?
00:52:42Have a great day.
00:52:49Bye.
00:52:51Bye.
00:52:54Bye.
00:53:03Bye.
00:53:05Bye.
00:53:06Bye.
00:53:36Mrs. Celleby, I wish you would be more specific in your testimony.
00:53:40I know these things are difficult, but it's our obligation to determine the responsibility for this man's death.
00:53:48I find it very difficult to remember.
00:53:54I...
00:53:55I...
00:53:56You told Constable Gobby you heard the screech of his brakes.
00:54:01Yes, that's right.
00:54:05He...
00:54:07He got out of the car.
00:54:17Then what did he do, Mrs. Celleby?
00:54:21Then he...
00:54:24He got back into the car...
00:54:30He left straight for the wall.
00:54:35Thank you, Mrs. Celleby. I don't think we need to go any further.
00:54:39It seems to me quite apparent what happened here.
00:54:42Edward Paul, the deceased, his vision obscured, came close to striking and injuring a child.
00:54:49Then, obviously a nervous shock, struck the wall.
00:54:54I recommend that you bring in a verdict of accident and death.
00:54:57Mrs. Celleby, you know they killed him.
00:55:00What do you want to kill him?
00:55:01Ask them!
00:55:02Just ask them!
00:55:06Who is that man?
00:55:08James Paul, sir.
00:55:09James Paul, sir, the brother of the deceased.
00:55:12I shall open this out first.
00:55:19Gordon, can't you see now that Midwich is living on top of a volcano?
00:55:22A force is building up.
00:55:24Sooner or later, it's bound to explode.
00:55:25We still haven't any proof.
00:55:27For heaven's sake, how much more proof do you need?
00:55:29The death of James Paul?
00:55:30Alan!
00:55:31I'm much more aware of the situation than you think, Jack.
00:55:41Jim!
00:55:42Why not? Look what they did to my brother.
00:55:43This won't bring it back.
00:55:44Who's going to stop them if I don't try?
00:55:46You can't stop them with that, believe me.
00:55:49They're not human. They ought to be destroyed.
00:55:51Go home, Jim.
00:55:52I said go home.
00:55:53Look, leave here now, before they get me closer.
00:56:00All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:28All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:29All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:36All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:37All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:39All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:39All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:40All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:42All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:43All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:47All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:56:49All right, Mr. Selleby.
00:58:04Oh, all right, all right.
00:58:06I'm responsible.
00:58:07I never denied it.
00:58:08It's quite possible that but for me, these two men would still be alive.
00:58:12I was over-optimistic.
00:58:13There's quite a shindig in London.
00:58:14They may be off to your blood court.
00:58:15Do you think I care a rap about that?
00:58:17What beats me is that I have failed to reach the children.
00:58:19But the point is they're shouting for action.
00:58:21Now, things have gone too far.
00:58:23The village is very near panicking.
00:58:25If only I could get inside the children's minds and read their thoughts,
00:58:29as 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.
00:58:42Okay.
00:58:44Yes, sir?
00:58:49I see, yes, sir.
00:58:53It's as though their minds were surrounded by...
00:58:57a brick wall.
00:59:01Hopefully I could break through it.
00:59:03Yes, sir, sir.
00:59:04Have I your permission to pass this on?
00:59:08Right, thank 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.
00:59:29Apparently they tried it out yesterday.
00:59:31They tried it out there, on the village of Raminsk, where their children live.
00:59:36The village of Raminsk no longer exists.
00:59:40You mean everyone there, the entire place.
00:59:44They gave no warning.
00:59:45They couldn't evacuate the villagers without the children, knowing what was to happen.
00:59:48They developed more quickly than ours.
00:59:50They'd begun to take control.
00:59:53An attempt to move them with soldiers proved disastrous to the troops and the adults.
00:59:58I see.
01:00:00So now I suppose we're going to blow Minwidge off the face of the earth.
01:00:05No.
01:00:07In a view of recent events, I feel your compromise has failed.
01:00:12Leighton feels you ought to move immediately, before it's too late.
01:00:15Destroy them.
01:00:17Well, they're meeting tonight to come to a decision.
01:00:22They want me in town.
01:00:45They want me in town.
01:00:50They want me in town, before.
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, Dan.
01:00:57Those that are with me, follow me!
01:00:59Come on, let's go, let's go!
01:01:29Come on, let's go!
01:02:16Come on, let's go!
01:02:37Let's go!
01:02:59Come on, let's go!
01:03:01Come on, let's go!
01:03:31Come on, let's go!
01:03:49Come on, let's go!
01:03:58Come on, let's go!
01:03:59Come on!
01:04:05a man is dead we must protect ourselves the law exists for your protection it's of no use to us

01:13:24Okay.
01:13:25Just a manner of speech, Esper.
01:13:43What's the matter?
01:13:44Alan, I'm going back.
01:13:47Why?
01:13:48I'm going back.
01:13:59Good evening, children.
01:14:01Tonight we shall talk about atomic energy and how discoveries made about a hundred years ago completely changed our conception
01:14:09of the elements and the place of the atom.
01:14:12You were to tell us tonight what arrangements you've made for us.
01:14:17The place of the atom.
01:14:20It's 827.
01:14:23Why are you nervous?
01:14:27The arrangements, yes.
01:14:29The arrangements, yes.
01:14:29Yes, I'll tell you about those in a few moments.
01:14:33But first of all, I want to finish my lesson.
01:14:36The question of atomic energy.
01:14:40You're not thinking of atomic energy.
01:14:45You're thinking of a 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.
01:15:07A brick wall.
01:15:08A brick wall.
01:15:10A brick wall.
