NARRATOR:
Starring Roy Thinnes
as architect David Vincent.
-
The invaders...
-
alien beings
from a dying planet.
-
Their destination... the Earth.
-
Their purpose...
-
to make it their world.
-
David Vincent has seen them.
-
For him,
it began one lost night
-
on a lonely country road
-
looking for a shortcut
that he never found.
-
It began
with a closed, deserted diner
-
and a man too long
without sleep
-
to continue his journey.
-
It began with the landing
of a craft from another galaxy.
-
Now David Vincent knows
that the invaders are here.
-
That they have taken
human form.
-
Somehow, he must convince
a disbelieving world
-
that the nightmare
has already begun.

NARRATOR:
For two days, planes have
crossed and recrossed
-
the Utah wilderness
-
searching for some clue
to the fiery object
-
witnesses swear plunged
from the sky.
-
But the planes find nothing
-
and the investigation
is called off.
-
Only one man continues
the search.
-
For somewhere
in the forbidding mountains
-
may be the remains
of an alien spacecraft.
-
It's starting again.
-
All right. Come over here
-
and let me give you
another injection...
-
Not yet. Not yet.
-
You're in pain.
Now, let me help you!
-
We don't know how
this can affect me.
-
It's experimental.
-
Part of the reason
I'm here.
-
Listen to me.
-
Pain is for a purpose.
-
It's a warning
that you need help.
-
I'll get help as soon as
I complete this mission.
-
You need help before then.
-
They'll take me to one of
our regeneration stations.
-
The injections are
wearing off too quickly.
-
You keep talking
about this rendezvous
-
that you have to make
this afternoon.
-
How do you know your two friends
aren't there right now?
-
Why don't you let me go
up to the mine office...
-
Why are you so
concerned about me?
-
I know this needle
has kept me alive.
-
You could've let me die.
Why didn't you?
-
I'm a nurse.
-
That doesn't answer my question.
-
You saw the ship.
You guessed what I am.
-
You don't show the fear emotions
humans are supposed to. Why?
-
I've just come back
from a year in Vietnam.
-
After what I've seen there,
-
nothing's ever
going to frighten me again.
-
I'm not like anything
you've ever seen.
-
Maybe.
-
But in the meantime,
-
why don't you try
trusting me?
-
Humans?
-
Oh, no.
-
No. I've heard
about you.
-
You fight. You hate. You kill.
-
You betray each other.
-
It's the only way you know.
-
You do it to each other
-
and you'll do it to me,
if you get the chance.
-
Hello.
-
Hello, Gale.
-
Remember me?
-
Oh, Vern. Yes.
-
Uh, how's everything?
-
Well, pretty slow
since all that saucer fuss.
-
Say, I, uh, I'd like to come by
tonight, if it's okay.
-
You've been back a week,
and, uh...
-
Oh, well, uh, I'm pretty
tied up right now.
-
How about some other time?
-
Oh, uh...
-
uh, doing what?
-
Oh, trying to get this ranch
into shape.
-
Maybe in a few days.
-
Yeah. Sure. Sure, Gale.
-
When you're not so jammed up.
-
Bye.
-
You see?
-
We don't all betray each other.
-
Someone's coming.
-
There can't be.
-
No one ever comes up
here this time of day.
-
Who is it?
-
I can't tell from here.
-
You found out a way
to get help after all,
-
didn't you, huh?
-
How could I?
-
I've been with
you every minute.
-
Find out who it is
and get rid of him.
-
All right. Go
into the kitchen.
-
No, no, no.
I'll stay here.
-
You go out and meet him.
-
You trust me that far?
-
It's not a question of trust.
-
Now get going.
-
All right. Give me
the keys to the jeep.
-
And I'll take this.
-
It's not loaded.
-
You took all the shells
out, remember?
-
But he's not going
to know that.
-
This land is posted.
-
Who are you?
-
My name is David Vincent.
-
I'd like to talk to Mr. Frazer.
-
Miss Frazer.
-
This is my ranch.
-
What do you want?
-
Well, I'm trying to get back up
into those mountains.
-
The only place this road leads
is to my ranch.
-
What are you looking for?
-
Well, I'm looking for whatever
fell into the mountains
-
a couple of nights ago.
-
Oh, I heard those reports.
-
There's nothing there.
-
They called off the search.
-
Well, they were looking
for a plane; I'm not.
-
Just what are you looking for?
-
Well, it would take
a long time to explain
-
and I'm afraid you wouldn't
believe me.
-
Thank you.
-
I'll go back
to the mine
-
and try to find that road.
-
-No, Mister, uh...Vincent?
-Right.
-
This land is mine,
all the way up to that ridge.
-
Now, unless you have government
business on this property...
-
You don't, do you?
-
No. I don't.
-
Well, you're trespassing.
-
So please get off.
-
Well, maybe I should explain
why I'm going up there.
-
Get out.
-
Who was it?
-
I'm not sure.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Who was it?
-
Well, he's gone.
-
You don't have to worry.
-
What does that mean?
-
Well, he... he's not from
the Aeronautics Board.
-
At least he said he wasn't here
on government business.
-
But he said he wanted
to get to the place
-
where your ship crashed.
-
And he said he wasn't
looking for a plane.
-
And, uh... you let him go, huh?
-
I sent him back to town.
What else could I do?
-
And you think that he's going
to go back to town,
-
because you, uh, you said so?
-
I got to get up
to that clearing.
-
You're too weak
to make it.
-
Sit there. Drink this.
-
I've got to make it.
-
Even if he finds
that clearing,
-
there's nothing there.
You destroyed the ship.
-
The courier's box
is hidden there.
-
I was supposed to land
him safely; I failed.
-
Now I have to finish
his mission for him.
-
But you hid the box.
-
Why don't you wait
until your...
-
friends get here
this afternoon
-
and then send
them for it?
-
You said you wanted
to help me.
-
I need your help.
-
Will you?
