Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is one of those classic sci-fi horror flicks that really messes with your mind! It’s a remake of the 1956 film and still creeps people out today. The story is set in San Francisco, where people start noticing their friends and family acting... well, off. Turns out, these alien pods are duplicating humans and replacing them with soulless, emotionless clones. Talk about a bad case of "who's who"!
Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams are at the heart of the story, trying to figure out who’s still human and who’s been “snatched” by these alien invaders. The movie's all about paranoia—trust no one, not even your BFF or your partner! Plus, that final scene? Absolute nightmare fuel!

00:01:40♪
00:01:44Oh, Dr. Hill.
00:01:45Dr. Bessett.
00:01:47Where's the patient?
00:01:48I hated to drag you out of bed at this time of night.
00:01:50Would you let me go while there's still time?
00:01:52You'll soon see why I did.
00:01:56Doctor, will you tell these fools I'm not crazy?
00:01:59Make them listen to me before it's too late.
00:02:01I'll listen to you.
00:02:03Let him go.
00:02:09Who are you?
00:02:10I'm Dr. Hill from the state mental hospital.
00:02:12I'm not insane.
00:02:13Let him go.
00:02:15Listen.
00:02:16Doctor.
00:02:17Now, you must listen to me.
00:02:18You must understand me.
00:02:20I'm a doctor, too.
00:02:21I am not insane.
00:02:22I am not insane.
00:02:23All right, all right.
00:02:24Now, suppose we just sit down over here, Dr. Bunnell,
00:02:26and you tell me what happened.
00:02:31Well, it started.
00:02:34For me, it started last Thursday.
00:02:37In response to an urgent message from my nurse,
00:02:39I'd hurried home from a medical convention I'd been attending.
00:02:44At first glance, everything looked the same.
00:02:49It wasn't.
00:02:51Something evil had taken possession of the town.
00:02:55These two.
00:02:57Here you are.
00:02:58Thank you, sir.
00:02:59There you are.
00:03:08Doc.
00:03:10Hiya, Sally.
00:03:11Hi.
00:03:12Welcome home.
00:03:13I'm glad you're back.
00:03:14How's Mickey and the baby?
00:03:15Well, they're fine.
00:03:16But it seems that everybody else in San Fierro needs a doctor.
00:03:18You've got an office full of patients.
00:03:20Oh, no.
00:03:21On my first day back?
00:03:22Well, some of them have been waiting for two weeks.
00:03:24Why didn't you send them to Percy or Carmichael,
00:03:26like I told you to?
00:03:27Most of them wouldn't go.
00:03:28They want to see you.
00:03:29Oh.
00:03:38What's the matter with them?
00:03:39They wouldn't say.
00:03:40You know, usually people can't talk enough
00:03:42about what's ailing them.
00:03:43For instance, Wally Eberhardt was in twice
00:03:45and called three times about something,
00:03:47but he wouldn't tell me what it was.
00:03:49That's funny.
00:03:50Neither would anyone else,
00:03:51from Becky Driscoll down to that fat traffic cop,
00:03:53Sam Jancic.
00:03:54Becky Driscoll?
00:03:56I thought she was in England.
00:03:58She got back a few days ago,
00:04:00and she wanted to see you.
00:04:02Are you still interested?
00:04:04My interest in married women is strictly professional,
00:04:06or yours would have been a lost cause long ago.
00:04:09How was the convention?
00:04:11Wonderful.
00:04:12They wept with envy when I read my paper.
00:04:16Wait here.
00:04:18Jimmy!
00:04:21What's the matter, Mrs. Grimaldi?
00:04:24It's nothing.
00:04:25He just don't want to go to school.
00:04:28Well, if I were you,
00:04:30I'd have a talk with his teacher.
00:04:32I will when I get time.
00:04:34What's the matter?
00:04:35Has Joe been sick?
00:04:36No.
00:04:37We gave him to stand up.
00:04:38Too much work.
00:04:40The boy's panic should have told me
00:04:41it was more than school he was afraid of.
00:04:43And that littered, closed-up vegetable stand
00:04:45should have told me something, too.
00:04:47When I last saw it, less than a month ago,
00:04:49it was the cleanest and busiest stand on the road.
00:04:52That's strange.
00:04:54She was in to see you, too, last Friday,
00:04:56and I tried to get her to go see Doc Percy,
00:04:58but she wouldn't.
00:04:59She said only you could help her.
00:05:01Well, whatever it was,
00:05:02it couldn't have been too serious, I guess.
00:05:10One minor concussion,
00:05:11two cases of the common cold,
00:05:13and six canceled appointments.
00:05:15Looks like you rushed me here for nothing.
00:05:17I don't understand it, Miles.
00:05:18They couldn't wait to see you.
00:05:20But you're still booked up solid for the afternoon.
00:05:22I bet they don't show.
00:05:24Look, there's Wally Eberhardt
00:05:26talking somebody into buying some insurance.
00:05:28There's nothing wrong with him.
00:05:29And Bill Bittner's taking his secretary to lunch.
00:05:32And speaking of lunch,
00:05:33will you tell whoever that is
00:05:34that I'm out having mine?
00:05:36Is Dr. Binnell in?
00:05:37Uh, yes, he's here.
00:05:39Do you suppose he has time to see me a moment?
00:05:41Well, if he hasn't, there's something wrong with him.
00:05:43Go right in.
00:05:47Becky.
00:05:49Almost five years.
00:05:51It's wonderful to be home again.
00:05:53Been away so long,
00:05:54I feel almost like a stranger in my own country.
00:05:57Hope you don't mind my coming without an appointment.
00:05:59Not at all.
00:06:00What'll you have?
00:06:02We're pushing appendectomies this week.
00:06:04Oh, Miles.
00:06:05I don't know, maybe I clown around too much.
00:06:07Pretty soon my patients won't trust me
00:06:09to prescribe aspirin for them.
00:06:11Now, seriously, what's the trouble?
00:06:13It's my cousin.
00:06:15Wilma?
00:06:16What's the matter with her?
00:06:18She has a...
00:06:20Well, I guess you'd call it a delusion.
00:06:22You know her uncle, Uncle Ira?
00:06:24Sure.
00:06:25I'm his doctor.
00:06:26Well, Miles, she's got herself thinking he isn't her uncle.
00:06:29How do you mean, that they're not really related?
00:06:31No, she thinks he's an imposter or something.
00:06:33Someone who only looks like Ira.
00:06:35Have you seen him?
00:06:36I just came from there.
00:06:38Well, is he Uncle Ira or isn't he Uncle Ira?
00:06:41Of course he is.
00:06:42I told Wilma that, but it was no use.
00:06:44Please, would you stop by and have a talk with her?
00:06:47Well, Sally says that I'm booked up for the afternoon,
00:06:49but why don't you ask her to come in and see me?
00:06:51I'll try.
00:06:54Um, how about some lunch?
00:06:56I can't, I'm meeting Dad at the store.
00:06:58When did you get back?
00:07:00I came back from London two months ago.
00:07:02I've been in Reno.
00:07:04Reno?
00:07:05Reno.
00:07:06Dad tells me you were there, too.
00:07:09Five months ago.
00:07:10Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:12So was I.
00:07:14I wanted it to work.
00:07:16Well, I guess that makes us Lodge brothers now.
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:21Except that I'm not a Lodge brother.
00:07:23You're not?
00:07:24No.
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:27Except that I'm paying dues while you collect them.
00:07:30Miles.
00:07:39Hello, George.
00:07:40How are you?
00:07:41Sam.
00:07:42Hello, Doc.
00:07:43At it again, eh?
00:07:44My nurse tells me you were in last week
00:07:46and wanted very much to see me.
00:07:48It wasn't anything important.
00:07:50Say, didn't you go to college with us?
00:07:53Quit his second year to get married.
00:07:55Like I wanted us to do.
00:07:57Just be thankful I didn't take you seriously.
00:07:59You be thankful.
00:08:01I found out that a doctor's wife
00:08:03needs the understanding of an Einstein
00:08:05and patience of a saint.
00:08:06And love?
00:08:07I wouldn't know about that.
00:08:09I'm just a general practitioner.
00:08:12Love is handled by the specialists.
00:08:14Well, here's where I leave you.
00:08:17You know something?
00:08:19This is where you left me the last time.
00:08:23Hiya, Johnny.
00:08:31Sally, I'm off.
00:08:33When you tell the answering service I'll be at home.
00:08:35Good night, Doc.
00:08:36Good night.
00:08:37Hey, it's all right here.
00:08:39Come on, Jimmy.
00:08:40Stop all this nonsense and be a good boy.
00:08:42Come on.
00:08:43Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:08:44Take it easy.
00:08:45Isn't this Jimmy Grimaldi?
00:08:46Yes, Doctor.
00:08:47Can I talk to your mother?
00:08:48Sure.
00:08:49You know, I almost ran you down this morning.
00:08:51Be careful.
00:08:52You're in a hurry.
00:08:53I almost ran me down.
00:08:54Come on, come on.
00:08:55Come on.
00:09:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:09:02Slow down now.
00:09:03Look, school isn't as bad as all that.
00:09:05School isn't what upsets him.
00:09:07It's my daughter-in-law.
00:09:08He's got the crazy idea she isn't his mother.
00:09:11She isn't.
00:09:12She isn't.
00:09:13Don't let her get me.
00:09:14Nobody's gonna get you, Jimmy.
00:09:21How long has this been going on?
00:09:22An hour ago, I find him hiding in the cellar,
00:09:24having hysterics.
00:09:25He wouldn't tell me anything until I started
00:09:27to phone his mother.
00:09:28That's when he said Anna wasn't his mother.
00:09:30Could you keep him with you for a day or so?
00:09:32Of course.
00:09:33Give him one of these every four hours during the day.
00:09:35And call me tomorrow and let me know how he's feeling.
00:09:37Yes, Doctor.
00:09:39Don't let her get me.
00:09:41Nobody's gonna get you, Jimmy.
00:09:51All right, Jimmy.
00:09:52Open your mouth.
00:09:54Shut your eyes.
00:09:56In the words of the poet,
00:09:57I'll give you something to make you wise.
00:09:59That's a good boy, Jimmy.
00:10:02I'm not going home with him.
00:10:04You're gonna stay at your grandmother's house.
00:10:06Would you call his mother and tell her...
00:10:08All right, all right, all right.
00:10:09Run along, run along.
00:10:10Everything's gonna be all right.
00:10:11You be a good boy now.
00:10:13Come on.
00:10:14Good night, Doctor.
00:10:15Good night.
00:10:16Sally, I've changed my mind.
00:10:18I'm not going directly home with him.
00:10:21I'm gonna stop off and see Wilma Lentz.
00:10:23Should I call the boy's mother?
00:10:24Yes, call her and tell her what happened.
00:10:26And I suggested it might be a good idea
00:10:28if the boy spent the night at his grandmother's house.
00:10:38Hello, Miles.
00:10:40Nice to see you, Wilma.
00:10:42Let's have it.
00:10:43You talk to him.
00:10:44What do you think?
00:10:45It's him.
00:10:46He's your Uncle Ira, all right.
00:10:48He is not.
00:10:50He is not.
00:10:59How is he different?
00:11:01That's just it.
00:11:02There is no difference you can actually see.
00:11:05He looks, sounds, acts, and remembers like Uncle Ira.
00:11:09Then he is your Uncle Ira.
00:11:10Can't you see that?
00:11:12No matter how you feel, he is.
00:11:14But he isn't.
00:11:15There's something missing.
00:11:17He's been a father to me since I was a baby.
00:11:19Always when he talked to me,
00:11:20there was a special look in his eye.
00:11:24That look's gone.
00:11:26What about memories?
00:11:28There must be certain things
00:11:29that only you and he would know about.
00:11:31Oh, there are.
00:11:32I've talked to him about them.
00:11:33He remembers them all down to the last small detail,
00:11:36just like Uncle Ira would.
00:11:39But, Miles, there's no emotion.
00:11:43None.
00:11:44Just the pretense of it.
00:11:46The words, gesture, the tone of voice,
00:11:48everything else is the same, but not the feeling.
00:11:52Memories or not, he isn't my Uncle Ira.
00:11:55Wilma, I'm on your side.
00:11:57My business is people in trouble,
00:11:59and I'm gonna find a way to help you.
00:12:01Now, no one could possibly impersonate your Uncle Ira
00:12:03without you or your Aunt Elita
00:12:05or even me seeing a million little differences.
00:12:08I want you to realize that.
00:12:10Think about it.
00:12:11And then you'll know that the trouble is inside you.
00:12:15Wilma, where are you?
00:12:17Out on the lawn.
00:12:19Say nothing to her.
00:12:21Why, Miles, I didn't know you were here.
00:12:24Welcome home.
00:12:25Hello, Mrs. Lentz.
00:12:26Did you ask Miles to stay for dinner?
00:12:28Can't tonight.
00:12:29I'm making spoon bread.
00:12:31Please, don't tempt me.
00:12:32Well, maybe next time.
00:12:34Wilma, where are my glasses?
00:12:36I think I saw them on the mantelpiece.
00:12:38I'll go with you.
00:12:47Miles, am I going crazy?
00:12:49Don't spare me.
00:12:50I've got to know.
00:12:51No, you're not.
00:12:52Even these days, it isn't as easy to go crazy
00:12:54as you might think.
00:12:55But you don't have to be losing your mind
00:12:57to need psychiatric help.
00:12:59I'd like you to see a doctor friend of mine.
00:13:02Psychiatrist?
00:13:03Dan Colton.
00:13:05I'll make an appointment for you tomorrow.
00:13:09All right.
00:13:11But it's not a good idea.
00:13:14All right.
00:13:16But it's a waste of time.
00:13:17There's nothing wrong with me.
00:13:24We'd better break this up, or he'll start wondering.
00:13:28Wondering what?
00:13:29If I don't suspect.
00:13:31You've been a big help,
00:13:32and I don't want you to worry about me.
00:13:34Or you either.
00:13:35I'll be all right.
00:13:36Sure you will.
00:13:37Stay here, Becky, or may I drive you home?
00:13:39Would you like me to stay?
00:13:41Of course not.
00:13:42Good night.
00:13:43Good night.
00:13:55Nice having Becky back again, eh, boy?
00:13:58Sure is.
00:14:04In the back of my mind, a warning bell was ringing.
00:14:07Sick people who couldn't wait to see me
00:14:09then suddenly were perfectly all right.
00:14:11A boy who said his mother wasn't his mother.
00:14:13A woman who said her uncle wasn't her uncle.
00:14:15But I didn't listen.
00:14:17Obviously, the boy's mother was his mother.
00:14:19I'd seen her.
00:14:20And Uncle Ira was Uncle Ira.
00:14:22There was no doubt of that after I'd talked to him.
00:14:25Miles, he is Ira.
00:14:27Of course he is.
00:14:28What do you mean?
00:14:29It's just that Wilma's so positive.
00:14:31Will she be all right?
00:14:33Oh, I think so.
00:14:34I'm a doctor, according to my diploma,
00:14:36but I don't really know what Wilma's trouble is.
00:14:39I could start talking psychiatrical jargon,
00:14:41but it's out of my line and in Dan Kaufman's.
00:14:46I wish you didn't have to go home for dinner.
00:14:48I don't.
00:14:49Dad's eating out with a friend.
00:14:52I could pick you up at 7.
00:14:55Well...
00:14:57It's summer and the moon is full
00:14:59and I know a bank where the wild time grows.
00:15:01The wild time grows.
00:15:03You haven't changed a bit.
00:15:09Whoa!
00:15:10Watch out.
00:15:11Sorry.
00:15:12Hey, Miles, when did you get back?
00:15:14This morning.
00:15:15How are you, Danny?
00:15:16This is Miss Driscoll, Dr. Kaufman,
00:15:18our one and only psychiatrist.
00:15:19How do you do?
00:15:20Watch out what you say.
00:15:21Ed, you remember Becky?
00:15:22I should.
00:15:23I brought her into the world.
00:15:24You did us all a favor.
00:15:25Hello, Dr. Percy.
00:15:26This saves me a phone call.
00:15:27I've got a mixed-up kid
00:15:28and a woman who need a witch doctor.
00:15:30The boy's a good doctor.
00:15:31He's a good doctor.
00:15:32He's a good doctor.
00:15:33He's a good doctor.
00:15:34He's a good doctor.
00:15:35He's a good doctor.
00:15:36He's a good doctor.
00:15:37He's a good doctor.
00:15:38And he needs a witch doctor.
00:15:39The boy says his father isn't his father,
00:15:41and the woman says her sister isn't her sister.
00:15:43That's pretty close.
00:15:44I knew you'd been studying hypnosis.
00:15:46But when did you start reading minds?
00:15:48He doesn't have to read them.
00:15:50I've sent him a dozen patients since it started.
00:15:52Well, what is it?
00:15:53What's going on?
00:15:54I don't know.
00:15:56A strange neurosis.
00:15:57Evidently contagious.
00:15:58An epidemic mass hysteria.
00:15:59In two weeks,
00:16:00it's spread all over town.
00:16:01Well, what causes it?
00:16:03Worry about what's going on
00:16:04in of the world, probably?
00:16:06Make room for Wilma Lentz tomorrow, will you, Danny?
00:16:09Send her in around 2.
00:16:10Good night.
00:16:11So long, Danny.
00:16:18Well, this is the oddest thing I ever heard of.
00:16:21Let's hope we don't catch it.
00:16:23I'd hate to wake up some morning and find out
00:16:25that you weren't you.
00:16:27I'm not the high school kid used to romance,
00:16:29so how can you tell?
00:16:30You really want to know?
00:16:31Mm-hmm.
00:16:37Mm, you're Becky Driscoll.
00:16:42Hey, Santa Mary's looking up.
00:16:44Has ever since you got back.
00:16:46Is this an example of your bedside manner, Doctor?
00:16:49No, ma'am.
00:16:50That comes later.
00:16:52Evening, Doctor.
00:16:53What happened to crowd tonight?
00:16:55I don't know.
00:16:56It's been this way for two or three weeks now.
00:16:58Hmm.
00:16:59Well, at least we don't have to wait for a table.
00:17:01Well, take your pick.
00:17:02In here or here.
00:17:04Here, I think.
00:17:05Shall we?
00:17:06Mm-hmm.
00:17:07Well, I'll see you later.
00:17:08Good night.
00:17:09Good night.
00:17:10Good night.
00:17:11Good night.
00:17:12Good night.
00:17:13Good night.
00:17:14Good night.
00:17:15Good night.
00:17:16Good night.
00:17:17Good night.
00:17:18Good night.
00:17:19Good night.
00:17:20Good night.
00:17:20Sleep well, Billy?
00:17:22Mm-hmm.
00:17:23Where's the band?
00:17:24Old business started falling off so I had to let them go.
00:17:27There's the jukebox though.
00:17:28Shall we dance?
00:17:29I hope you didn't let the bartender go.
00:17:32I'm the bartender.
00:17:33Martinis?
00:17:34Too dry.
00:17:37Uh, very dry.
00:17:40Miles, I don't care what Dr. Love says, I'm worried.
00:17:44You are in the capable hands of your personal physician.
00:17:48Oh, Doctor.
00:17:49Ah, there's our evening.
00:17:51Sorry.
00:17:55Thanks.
00:17:57Dr. Bunnell.
00:17:58Jack Belichick wants you to come to his house right away, doctor.
00:18:02He says it's urgent.
00:18:07Better hold those drinks.
00:18:09Emergency.
00:18:10Well, at least they called before we ordered dinner.
00:18:13How hungry are you?
00:18:14I can wait.
00:18:15Maybe quite a while.
00:18:16I'll go with you.
00:18:17Sorry.
00:18:18We'll be back later.
00:18:35There's Jack.
00:18:48Hello, Jack.
00:18:49What's the matter?
00:18:50Teddy sick?
00:18:51No.
00:18:52Miles, thank heaven.
00:18:53I thought you'd never get here.
00:18:54Well, if you're not sick, who is?
00:18:56Nobody.
00:18:57Well, then why did you drag me away for my dinner?
00:18:59Well, you won't believe it, Miles, until you see it for yourself.
00:19:02Hello, Becky.
00:19:03Good to see you again.
00:19:04Hi, Jack.
00:19:05Hi, Teddy.
00:19:10Would you be able to forget that you're a doctor for a while?
00:19:13Why?
00:19:14I don't want you to call the police right away.
00:19:16Quit acting like a writer.
00:19:17What's going on?
00:19:18Maybe you can tell me.
00:19:20You're the doctor.
00:19:31Miles, put the light on over the pool table.
00:19:46Go on, pull it down.
00:20:16What?
00:20:34Well, what do you make of it?
00:20:38Who is he?
00:20:39I have no idea.
00:20:47It's face, Miles.
00:20:48It's vague.
00:20:50It's like the first impression that's stamped on a coin.
00:20:53It isn't finished.
00:20:54You're right.
00:20:55It has all the features, but no details, no character, no lines.
00:20:59It's no dead man.
00:21:01Have you got an ink pad around the house?
00:21:03Should be one on the desk line.
00:21:05Why don't you take the corpse's fingerprints?
00:21:07Of course it's a dead man.
00:21:08What else could it be?
00:21:09I don't know, but I've got a feeling that...
00:21:12This sounds crazy, but if I should do an autopsy,
00:21:15I think I'd find every organ in perfect condition.
00:21:21Just as perfect as the body is externally.
00:21:26Everything in working order.
00:21:29All set to go. Hold it there, will you?
00:21:37He's blank.
00:21:39Waiting for the final finished face to be stamped onto it.
00:21:43But whose face?
00:21:45Tell me that.
00:21:47I think we could all use a drink.
00:21:52Bourbon all right?
00:21:53Fine.
00:21:55Now for me, thanks.
00:21:56Miles, answer me. Whose face?
00:21:58I haven't the slightest idea, honey. Have you?
00:22:01How, uh...
00:22:03How tall would you say that thing is?
00:22:05Oh, 5'10", thereabouts.
00:22:07How much does it weigh?
00:22:09I don't know. It's pretty thin.
00:22:11Maybe 140 pounds.
00:22:12Jack's 5'10'' weighs 140 pounds?
00:22:17Teddy, will you stop talking nonsense?
00:22:20I'm sorry, darling.
00:22:21Come on, let's have that hand.
00:22:22But it isn't nonsense.
00:22:24Becky, you don't think it's nonsense, do you?
00:22:27Well, of course it is. Jack's standing here in front of you.
00:22:29Of course I am. Bleeding to death.
00:22:32Excuse me, just a minute.
00:22:33You know what?
00:22:35I'm afraid you may live.
00:22:38This should fix it.
00:22:39Miles, don't you think we should call the police
00:22:41and have them take that dead body out of here?
00:22:43I'm afraid it isn't just a dead body.
00:22:46Thanks.
00:22:59I wonder if...
00:23:02Look, I wonder if there's any connection.
00:23:04What do you mean?
00:23:06There's something strange going on.
00:23:08There's something strange going on in Santa Mira.
00:23:11Dr. Kaufman calls it
00:23:13an epidemic of mass hysteria.
00:23:16Becky's cousin's got it for one.
00:23:18She thinks that her uncle and her aunt
00:23:20aren't her uncle and her aunt.
00:23:22There's several cases of such delusion.
00:23:25Now, this isn't you yet, but
00:23:28there is a structural likeness.
00:23:32It's fantastic, but there must be some reason
00:23:33why this thing is in your house.
00:23:35Would you be willing to sit up with your strange friend
00:23:37and see what his next move is?
00:23:39If nothing happens by morning, call the police.
00:23:42If something happens, call me, will you?
00:23:45You know I will.
00:23:53Good night.
00:23:54Take it easy.
00:23:55Sure.
00:23:56Now, nothing's going to happen.
00:23:57Good night, Ben.
00:23:59Well, if it does, it'll make a charming,
00:24:00blood-curdling mystery story.
00:24:06I was careful not to let Becky know,
00:24:08but for the first time, I was really scared.
00:24:11Dan Kaufman's explanation of what was wrong in town,
00:24:14mass hysteria, couldn't explain away
00:24:16that body on Jack's billiard table.
00:24:36Come in while I turn the lights on.
00:24:39You're a forward wench dragging me
00:24:40into a dark hallway to be kissed.
00:24:43I'm dragging you into a dark hallway
00:24:44because I'm scared of the dark tonight.
00:24:46In that case, I'd better stay and tuck you in.
00:24:49That way lies madness.
00:24:52What's wrong with madness?
00:24:54Madness.
00:24:56Now, good night.
00:25:05Well, it's about time you two got home.
00:25:08Dad, what are you doing in the basement this time of night?
00:25:10Working in my shop.
00:25:11How about a nightcap, Doc?
00:25:13No thanks, it's kind of late.
00:25:14I'll take a rain check.
00:25:15Good night.
00:25:16Good night.
00:25:19Good night.
00:25:20Night, Miles.
00:25:35Miles!
00:25:57It's you!
00:25:58It's you!
00:25:59No, no, you mustn't go near it!
00:26:01Get out of here, please!
00:26:03Please!
00:26:05What happened, Jack?
00:26:07Teddy says the thing in our place is me right down to the cut of my hand.
00:26:10Sit down, baby. I didn't wait to look.
00:26:12It's alive! It's alive!
00:26:15The hand was cut and bleeding in the position of the body.
00:26:19It changed!
00:26:21Here, take this.
00:26:27I'll call Danny Hoffman.
00:26:30Are you all right?
00:26:33You'll be all right.
00:26:53Hello, Danny.
00:26:54Yeah?
00:26:55Something's happened and I've got to see you right away.
00:26:57Will you get over here as fast as you can?
00:26:59It's important.
00:27:01Uh, okay.
00:27:07He's on his way. I'll make some coffee and be right with you.
00:27:10Good deal, Miles. Thanks.
00:27:13Miles, what about Becky? Do you think she's all right?
00:27:27Dad, what are you doing in the basement this time of night?
00:27:30I'm working in my shop.
00:27:34I don't know what it was, call it a premonition,
00:27:37but suddenly I had the feeling that Becky was in danger.
00:27:40I had to get to her as quickly as possible.
00:28:01I was going to ring the bell,
00:28:03but then I had a hunch I'd better be careful.
00:28:06Something was wrong in this house.
00:28:30Come on.
00:29:00Come on.
00:29:30Come on.
00:30:00Come on.
00:30:30Come on.
00:31:01Becky.
00:31:02Becky.
00:31:30Miles, will you tell me what happened?
00:31:32The same thing.
00:31:34I found another one in the cellar at Becky's house
00:31:37coming to life while I stood there watching it.
00:31:39It was Becky.
00:31:41Yeah?
00:31:42I want to see one of these bodies.
00:31:44All right.
00:31:45Now, you're going to bed, and you're staying with her.
00:31:48Put on your clothes. We'll go to Jack's first.
00:31:50Got any coffee around here?
00:31:52Yeah, you'll find some in the kitchen.
00:31:55You're welcome.
00:31:56Got any coffee around here?
00:31:57Yeah, you'll find some in the kitchen.
00:32:01He doesn't believe me, Beck.
00:32:03He will.
00:32:16Somebody's playing games.
00:32:18Rough ones.
00:32:20There's a blood spot.
00:32:23What you saw was the body of a murdered man.
00:32:25Did you examine it carefully?
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:28I don't know what's happened to it.
00:32:30It was not an ordinary body, and there wasn't a mark on it.
00:32:32I checked it, too, when I put it on the table.
00:32:34There wasn't a scratch.
00:32:35You can kill a man by shoving an ice pick into the base of his brain
00:32:38and leaving a puncture so small the naked eye can't see it.
00:32:40Danny, you're ignoring the fact that this was not a normal body,
00:32:43and you heard what Teddy said about the hand.
00:32:45I heard lots of things Teddy said, and none of them made any sense.
00:32:48All right, now hold on to it, pal.
00:32:49I was here, too.
00:32:50So was Miles.
00:32:52Now, look.
00:32:53We took his fingerprints.
00:32:54Look at that.
00:32:55Tell me why it didn't have any.
00:32:57He didn't want any, so he took them off with acid.
00:33:00Stop trying to rationalize everything, will you?
00:33:02Let's face it.
00:33:03We have a mystery on our hands.
00:33:04Sure you have.
00:33:05A real one.
00:33:06Whose body was it, and where is it now?
00:33:07A completely normal mystery.
00:33:09Whatever it is, it's well within the bounds of human experience,
00:33:12and I don't think you ought to make any more of it.
00:33:14Look, I wouldn't if I hadn't looked in Becky's cellar.
00:33:16How do you explain the way the body I saw there?
00:33:18I don't think you saw one there.
00:33:20You don't think I saw one here, either?
00:33:21I know you did, because three others saw it, too.
00:33:23But I dreamed up the second one.
00:33:25Doctors can have hallucinations, too.
00:33:27The mind is a strange and wonderful thing.
00:33:29I'm not sure it'll ever be able to figure itself out.
00:33:31Everything else may be.
00:33:32From the atom to the universe, everything except itself.
00:33:35Nevertheless, I saw Becky's double,
00:33:38and the body that we saw here bore an uncomfortable resemblance to Jack.
00:33:41Oh, mighty uncomfortable.
00:33:43All right, let's go on to Becky's and have a look.
00:33:49All right, where's your girlfriend's double?
00:33:52Okay, skeptic, lift the lid.
00:34:06There's a body here, all right.
00:34:07It's Becky's double.
00:34:08It sure is.
00:34:09Take another look.
00:34:15Now you see it, now you don't.
00:34:17It was there, half hidden by that blanket.
00:34:20You said you saw it there just now.
00:34:23I thought I did.
00:34:24Why did you come here tonight?
00:34:26You'd seen a dead man at Jack's, an average-sized man.
00:34:29The face and death was smooth and unlined, bland in expression, which often happens.
00:34:34You had just become aware of a curious, unexplainable epidemic, mass hysteria.
00:34:38Men, women, and children suddenly convinced themselves
00:34:41that their relatives weren't their relatives at all.
00:34:43So your mind started playing tricks, and reality became unreality.
00:34:47The dead man became Jack's double in your eyes.
00:34:50Look, come off it, will you, Danny?
00:34:52I know, Miles, this is all hard to believe, but these things happen,
00:34:55even to witch doctors like me.
00:34:57I saw her here. She was real.
00:34:59You saw her all right in every tiny detail, as vividly as anyone has ever seen anything,
00:35:04but only in your mind.
00:35:06Look, Danny, you can talk all night, but you're not going to convince me.
00:35:11What in heaven's name are you doing in my cellar?
00:35:14Using it for an office, Mr. Driscoll.
00:35:16We want our patients badly in need of psychiatric treatment.
00:35:19Now stop talking nonsense.
00:35:20I'm not. They've been having nightmares.
00:35:22Well, if you're drunk, you'd better sober up quick.
00:35:24The police are on their way here.
00:35:25No, no, no, we're not drunk.
00:35:26Nothing as simple as that.
00:35:27Pull up a chair.
00:35:28Why, you're crazy, all of you.
00:35:30Hey, what's going on down there?
00:35:32Hello, Nick. Glad to see you.
00:35:35You saved these two characters that tripped to the station.
00:35:38They want to report finding a body and losing it.
00:35:42Where? When?
00:35:43At my place, about 7 o'clock.
00:35:46Why did you wait so long to report it?
00:35:48You know better than that, Doc.
00:35:50Yeah, well, it was a curious sort of a body,
00:35:53and then it wasn't there anymore.
00:35:56I have a good mind to throw you both in jail.
00:36:00But if you'd seen it, you'd understand why we waited.
00:36:03Thin man, 5'10",
00:36:05fingerprints burnt off with acid.
00:36:08I've just seen it on the slab in the morgue.
00:36:11It was burned up in a burning haystack
00:36:13on Mike Gessner's south pasture two hours ago.
00:36:16Now, break it up.
00:36:18Go on home.
00:36:27Well, you win.
00:36:29Pick up the marbles.
00:36:37Good morning.
00:36:38Good morning.
00:36:41Orange juice.
00:36:45How'd you like your eggs?
00:36:47Oh, any way you like.
00:36:49Boiled, two minutes.
00:36:51Two minutes?
00:36:52Mm-hmm.
00:36:53Okay.
00:36:55You know, dragging you out of bed in the middle of the night
00:36:59was a lot of trouble, but it was worth it.
00:37:02Now, seriously.
00:37:04What was that?
00:37:07Who is it?
00:37:09It's a gas man.
00:37:11Morning, Doc.
00:37:14Good morning, Charlie.
00:37:16I guess I'm a little jittery, not getting enough sleep.
00:37:19Well, I won't be bothering you anymore.
00:37:21I'm putting the meter outside on the patio.
00:37:23Okay.
00:37:24The eggs will be hard-boiled.
00:37:26Did you do this for your husband?
00:37:28Mm-hmm.
00:37:29Didn't your wife do this for you?
00:37:31Oh, yes.
00:37:32She liked to cook.
00:37:34That's one of the reasons why I'm single.
00:37:36I never was there when dinner was on the table.
00:37:39Well, take my advice and don't get mixed up with the doctor.
00:37:42They're seldom at home.
00:37:44What would you say if I told you I was already mixed up with the doctor?
00:37:48I'd say it was too good to be true.
00:37:50Things like this can happen all of a sudden.
00:37:53What's so all of a sudden about two people
00:37:55who've known each other most of their lives?
00:37:58Good morning.
00:37:59Oh, good morning.
00:38:01Good morning.
00:38:02Oh, good morning.
00:38:03I thought I'd smell some coffee.
00:38:04Why don't you give me a call?
00:38:06I didn't want to wake Teddy.
00:38:07Oh, she's wide awake.
00:38:09Had a good sleep?
00:38:10Good.
00:38:11Look, I don't feel that she should go home right away, Miles.
00:38:14Would you mind taking in a couple of boarders for a while?
00:38:18Or do you have something else in mind?
00:38:21Well, I was toying with an idea, but you can stay.
00:38:25Here, Jack.
00:38:27Thank you, doll.
00:38:28Take it up to Teddy.
00:38:40Miles, did you make that appointment for me with the psychiatrist?
00:38:43Yes, 2 o'clock.
00:38:45I don't need him.
00:38:46I feel like such a fool.
00:38:48I woke up this morning and everything was all right.
00:38:50You don't know how relieved I am.
00:38:52Oh, yes, I do.
00:38:53Listen, would you give Becky a call and tell her about it?
00:38:55She was worried about you.
00:38:56All right.
00:38:57She's at my house.
00:38:58At your house?
00:38:59Why?
00:39:00She'll tell you all about it.
00:39:17Becky's still at his house.
00:39:23All right.
00:39:26Good morning.
00:39:27Good morning, Sally.
00:39:29Take a peek at what's in the reception room.
00:39:36Mother, when are we going home?
00:39:38In a little while, Jimmy.
00:39:44He certainly made a quick recovery.
00:39:50I guess we all have.
00:39:52But driving home, I had a lot of questions and no answers.
00:39:56How could Jimmy and Wilma seem so normal now?
00:39:58Surely I had done nothing to cure them.
00:40:00Maybe they wanted me to feel secure, but why?
00:40:06Well.
00:40:07I hope you didn't forget the steaks.
00:40:09I never forget anything.
00:40:10Don't worry about him.
00:40:11He's completely housebroken.
00:40:13I need a martini, Beck.
00:40:15Honey or olive?
00:40:16Doesn't matter.
00:40:17I want to pour it on the charcoal.
00:40:18I can't get this stuff to burn.
00:40:20Oh, a martini isn't dry enough.
00:40:21I'll get you something to start it.
00:40:23For drinking purposes.
00:40:25You're looking ship-shape.
00:40:27Thank you, sir.
00:40:39Here we are.
00:40:40Hello, boy.
00:40:41Hello, sir.
00:40:55Wait.
00:41:04Jack!
00:41:05Jack!
00:41:16They're like huge seed pods.
00:41:20This must be the way that potty in my closet was formed.
00:41:23Miles, where did they come from?
00:41:24I don't know.
00:41:25If they are seeds or seed pods,
00:41:26they must grow someplace on a plant, probably.
00:41:28And somebody or something wants this duplication to take place.
00:41:31But when they're finished, what happens to our bodies?
00:41:34I don't know.
00:41:35When the process is completed,
00:41:36probably the original is destroyed or disintegrates.
00:41:39Scott.
00:41:40No, wait!
00:41:41It's all right, but I take a dim view
00:41:42of watching my own destruction take place.
00:41:43There isn't any danger until they're completely formed.
00:41:45We learned that last night at your house.
00:41:47Your blank didn't change right away.
00:41:49Not until you fell asleep.
00:41:52Miles, when the change does take place,
00:41:55do you suppose there's any difference?
00:41:57There must be.
00:41:58Wilma noticed it.
00:41:59So did little Jimmy.
00:42:01So did I.
00:42:04My father.
00:42:07That must be what he was doing in the cellar last night,
00:42:09placing one of these.
00:42:11I'm sorry.
00:42:12I felt something was wrong,
00:42:13but I thought it was me because I'd been away for so long.
00:42:16They have to be destroyed.
00:42:17All of them.
00:42:18They will be.
00:42:19Every one of them.
00:42:20Listen, we're going to have to search every building,
00:42:22every house in town.
00:42:23Men, women, and children are going to have to be examined.
00:42:25We've got some phoning to do.
00:42:26Well, I'm going to stay right here while I can watch them.
00:42:28I'm going to stay with you.
00:42:29And don't call the police!
00:42:30Nick Rivett didn't find any body on a burning haystack.
00:42:39Why don't you call Danny?
00:42:40Maybe he can help.
00:42:41Danny?
00:42:42No.
00:42:43I'm afraid it's too late to call Danny, too.
00:42:45Well, what are you going to do?
00:42:47Get help.
00:42:48I hope whatever's taking place
00:42:49is confined to Santa Mira.
00:42:50If it isn't...
00:42:59Operator.
00:43:00Hello, this is Dr. Bunnell.
00:43:01This is an emergency.
00:43:02I want to talk to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
00:43:04in Los Angeles.
00:43:05Can you make them believe you?
00:43:06I've got it.
00:43:07Where do they come from?
00:43:09So much has been discovered in these past few years
00:43:11that anything is possible.
00:43:13Maybe the results of atomic radiation on plant life
00:43:16or animal life.
00:43:18Some weird alien organism.
00:43:20A mutation of some kind.
00:43:22So why should they take the form of people, of us?
00:43:24I don't know.
00:43:25I don't know.
00:43:26Whatever it is, whatever intelligence or instinct it is
00:43:29that can govern the forming of human flesh and blood
00:43:33out of thin air is fantastically powerful,
00:43:36beyond any comprehension.
00:43:37Malignant.
00:43:38All that body in your cellar needed was a mind,
00:43:41and it was...
00:43:42And it was taking mine while I was asleep.
00:43:44I could take that pitchfork myself and...
00:43:46On your call to Los Angeles, Doctor, they don't answer.
00:43:50Well, try again.
00:43:51That office is open day and night.
00:43:53If they've taken over the telephone office, we're dead.
00:43:56Is that me?
00:44:27Oh, God.
00:44:45This is an emergency! Emergency!
00:44:47Now, look, there's been...
00:44:51Operator, get me a better connection.
00:44:53I'll try, Doctor.
00:44:56It's no use. All the Los Angeles circuits are dead.
00:44:59All right, try Sacramento.
00:45:01Give me the state capital. I want to talk to the governor.
00:45:06The Sacramento circuits are busy, doctor. I'll call you back.
00:45:12All right.
00:45:14All right, I'll wait for your call.
00:45:19I'll take the phone outside.
00:45:22Jack!
00:45:24I've got the phone.
00:45:26Now, you and the girls get in your car and make a run for it.
00:45:28First time you get to, yell for help.
00:45:30What about you?
00:45:31In a little while, that phone is going to ring.
00:45:32If there's nobody here to answer it, they'll know we've gone and block the roads out of town.
00:45:35I'll stall them until you're out of reach.
00:45:36Well, then what are you going to do?
00:45:37Try and find out what's in back of this.
00:45:39I'm staying.
00:45:40No.
00:45:41Miles, don't ask me to leave you.
00:45:44Jack, get going.
00:45:45Miles, I can't.
00:45:46Look, somebody's got to go or we don't get any help.
00:45:48Please, let's get out of here.
00:45:50Well, watch out for yourselves.
00:45:54Go over by the phone.
00:45:55Stay there.
00:45:56If it rings, call me.
00:46:20I'll get it.
00:46:39Hello?
00:46:40Is Doctor Bunnell there?
00:46:41Yes, I'll get him.
00:46:42Never mind.
00:46:43Just tell him the Sacramento circuits are still busy and ask him if he wants me to keep trying.
00:46:47All right, hold on.
00:46:48Miles, the circuits are still busy.
00:46:50Well, tell her to keep trying. Also try San Francisco and Washington.
00:47:01We're getting out of here right now.
00:47:02Well, where are we going?
00:47:03Sally, come on.
00:47:07We're still unable to get through to Los Angeles. Do you wish me to keep trying?
00:47:11Dr. Bunnell?
00:47:13Dr. Bunnell?
00:47:14I needed someone I could trust, and I figured Sally, my nurse, was my best bet.
00:47:19I decided to try to phone her to see if she was at home.
00:47:22Maybe they hadn't taken over the pay phones.
00:47:24I'll try the pay phone.
00:47:26Hey, Mac!
00:47:28Oh, hi, Doc. How are you?
00:47:30Listen, will you get me a couple of gallons fast? I'm in a hurry.
00:47:32Sure. Martha!
00:47:34Doc's in a hurry. Get the windshield, will you?
00:47:40I have to have the keys to open the gas tank.
00:47:43Somebody sick out this way?
00:47:46There's been an accident.
00:47:48Funny, we haven't heard about it.
00:47:50Well, it just happened.
00:47:53Before I could even get her number, I saw Mac closing the trunk of my car.
00:47:56He could have been checking my spare tire, but I didn't think so.
00:47:59That should do it.
00:48:02All set?
00:48:03All set, Doc.
00:48:04Fine, thanks.
00:48:05I'll put it on my belt, will you?
00:48:06Sure, Doc.
00:48:13Oh, my God.
00:48:30What's the matter?
00:48:43You got to make it to Sally's house.
00:49:04I wasn't sure now there was anyone I could trust.
00:49:06I'm afraid so.
00:49:08I wasn't sure now there was anyone I could trust,
00:49:10but I took a chance and drove to Sally's anyway.
00:49:19When I saw several cars in front of the house,
00:49:21I decided to play it safe.
00:49:29What's wrong?
00:49:30Probably nothing.
00:49:31But we're not going in there until I'm sure it's safe.
00:49:33Slide over under the wheel and get out of the way.
00:49:35It's safe. Slide over under the wheel.
00:49:37And get out of here fast if anybody shows up looking for us.
00:50:06The baby asleep yet, Sally?
00:50:08Not yet, but she will be soon.
00:50:10And there'll be no more tears.
00:50:12Shall I put this in her room?
00:50:14Yes, in her playpen.
00:50:16No, wait. Maybe I'd better take it.
00:50:19Why don't you go in, Miles?
00:50:21We've been waiting for you.
00:50:31Becky, get going.
00:50:36Attention, all units.
00:50:38Attention, all units.
00:50:40Apprehend and detain Dr. Miles Bunnell and Becky Driscoll,
00:50:44now believed heading north in a black-and-white Ford sedan,
00:50:48license number 2X37796.
00:50:52All units designated as roadblocks move to your stations.
00:50:56It is urgent.
00:50:57These men must be brought to the station immediately.
00:51:00All units designated as roadblocks move to your stations.
00:51:03It is urgent.
00:51:04These two persons must be detained and not permitted to leave Santa Mira.
00:51:08Repeat, it is urgent.
00:51:14The order of God for a 1955 black-and-white Ford sedan,
00:51:18license number 2X377...
00:51:30...2X377...
00:52:00We'll try to make it to my office. Cut into that alley on the right.
00:52:30Cut into that alley on the right.
00:53:00Cut into that alley on the right.
00:53:31Do you think he'll come back?
00:53:34I don't think they'll check again before morning.
00:53:37But then Jack should be here with help.
00:53:46What if Jack doesn't get through?
00:53:48He's gotta get through.
00:53:50Here, now take two of these. They'll help you to stay awake.
00:54:01Here.
00:54:14We can't close our eyes all night.
00:54:16We may wake up changed...
00:54:19...to something evil and inhuman.
00:54:23In my practice, I've seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away.
00:54:27Only it happens slowly instead of all at once.
00:54:31They didn't seem to mind.
00:54:33But just some people, Miles.
00:54:35All of us, a little bit.
00:54:37We harden our hearts, grow callous.
00:54:41Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us.
00:54:46How dear...
00:54:50...as you are to me.
00:54:58PHONE RINGS
00:55:04Maybe that's Jack trying to find us.
00:55:06He'd know better than to use the phone.
00:55:10Where is he?
00:55:12Why doesn't he come?

00:55:43Yeah, I know.
00:55:45It's too early to be so busy.
00:55:47What are they doing here?
00:55:51There's the answer.
00:55:53Must be strangers in town.
00:55:55They've been waiting for the bus to come and go.
00:55:57There isn't another one through here until 11.

00:58:07I can't wait for Jack any longer. Stay here.
00:58:09But you're not going out there.
00:58:10I've got to stop them.
00:58:11Wait, we're safe here.
00:58:17They're not here. I hope we're not too late.
00:58:19Jack, thank God.
00:58:22Jack, the whole town's been taken over by the pods.
00:58:24Not quite. There's still you and Becky.
00:58:28Miles, it would have been so much easier if you'd gone to sleep last night.
00:58:31Now relax. We're here to help you.
00:58:36You know better than that.
00:58:38Where do you want us to put them?
00:58:39Would you like to watch them grow?
00:58:40No, thanks.
00:58:41Put them in there.
00:58:43There's nothing to be afraid of. We're not going to hurt you.
00:58:45Look, once you understand, you'll be grateful.
00:58:48Remember how Teddy and I fought against it?
00:58:50Well, we were wrong.
00:58:52You mean Teddy doesn't mind?
00:58:53Of course not. She feels exactly the way I do.
00:58:56Let us go.
00:58:57Look, we'll leave town. We won't come back.
00:58:58We can't let you go. You're dangerous to us.
00:59:02Don't fight it, Miles. It's no use.
00:59:04Sooner or later, you'll have to go to sleep.
00:59:07I'll wait for you in the hall.
00:59:08Miles, you and I are scientific men.
00:59:11You can understand the wonder of what's happened.
00:59:14Now just think.
00:59:15Less than a month ago, Santa Mera was like any other town.
00:59:18People with nothing but problems.
00:59:21Then out of the sky came a solution.
00:59:24Seeds, drifting through space for years, took root in a farmer's field.
00:59:28From the seeds came pods,
00:59:30which have the power to reproduce themselves in the exact likeness of any form of life.
00:59:34So that's how it began.
00:59:36Out of the sky.
00:59:40Your new bodies are growing in there.
00:59:42They're taking you over, cell for cell, atom for atom.
00:59:47There's no pain.
00:59:49Suddenly, while you're asleep,
00:59:51they'll absorb your minds, your memories,
00:59:55and you're reborn into an untroubled world.
00:59:59Where everyone's the same.
01:00:00Exactly.
01:00:02What a world.
01:00:04We're not the last humans left.
01:00:07They'll destroy you.
01:00:10Tomorrow, you won't want them to.
01:00:11Tomorrow, you'll be one of us.
01:00:17I love Becky.
01:00:19Tomorrow, will I feel the same?
01:00:22There's no need for love.
01:00:25No need for love.
01:00:26There's no need for love.
01:00:29No emotion.
01:00:31Then you have no feelings.
01:00:33Only the instinct to survive.
01:00:35You can't love or be loved, am I right?
01:00:37You say it as if it were terrible. Believe me, it isn't.
01:00:40You've been in love before.
01:00:42It didn't last.
01:00:44It never does.
01:00:45Love, desire, ambition, faith.
01:00:49Without them, life's so simple. Believe me.
01:00:53I don't want any part of it.
01:00:54You're forgetting something, Miles.
01:00:56What's that?
01:00:58You have no choice.
01:01:05I guess we haven't any choice.
01:01:07Good.
01:01:17I want to love and be loved.
01:01:19I want your children.
01:01:21I don't want a world without love or grief or beauty.
01:01:24I'd rather die.
01:01:26No.
01:01:28No.
01:01:32Not unless there's no other way.
01:01:35Why didn't they just give us a shard or a sleeping pill or something?
01:01:41The drug's still all mine. Maybe that's the reason.
01:01:50No, it wouldn't work.
01:01:52I might get one or even two, but I couldn't possibly get three of them.
01:01:55You're forgetting something, darling, me.
01:01:57It isn't three against one, it's three against two.
01:01:59Give me a knife.
01:02:02No.
01:02:03No.
01:03:03Go over by the desk.
01:03:25What's going on in there?
01:03:48Miles!
01:03:49Miles!
01:03:50Open the door, Miles!
01:03:51Unlock the door!
01:03:52Miles, open the door!

01:04:20Open the door!
01:04:21Open the door!
01:04:22Open the door!
01:04:23Open the door!
01:04:25Our only hope is to make it to the highway.
01:04:42Well, that does it.
01:04:43The only other way is out the front door, and there's bound to be somebody watching.
01:04:46We'll have to chance it.
01:04:55Keep your eyes a little wide and blank.
01:04:57Show no interest or excitement.
01:05:25Well, Sam, we're finally with you.
01:05:27They were supposed to let me know.
01:05:29The chief said he had phoned the station, and then I'd get the call.
01:05:32He phoned, but the line was busy.
01:05:34He's calling again now.
01:05:40Watch out!
01:05:44I'm sorry, Miles.
01:05:49I'm sorry, Miles.
01:05:50I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:51I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:52I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:53I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:54I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:55I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:56I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:57I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:58I'm sorry, Sam.
01:05:59I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:01I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:02I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:03I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:04I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:05I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:06I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:07I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:08I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:09I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:10I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:11I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:12I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:13I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:14I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:15I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:16I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:17I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:18I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:19I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:20I'm sorry, Sam.
01:06:43This is Janzek.
01:06:44They got away.
01:06:45Turn the main siren on.
01:06:50Hey, the stairs.
01:07:12Only a few steps more.
01:07:21This way.
01:07:32Come on, they went this way.
01:07:50They're over there!
01:08:20Let's go!
01:08:50Let's go!
01:09:20I can't, I can't, Miles, I can't. I can't go on.
01:09:24Yes, you can.
01:09:50Let's go.
01:10:21In this water, they must be in the tunnel.
01:10:36Come on, some of you go that way.
01:10:45Give up!
01:10:47Give up!
01:10:49Give up!
01:10:50You can't get away from us!
01:10:52We're not gonna hurt you!
01:10:54Give up!
01:11:06Not the tunnel.
01:11:07All right, everybody outside.
01:11:09Come on, let's check the hills.
01:11:11Everybody move.
01:11:19Miles, I can't stay awake much longer.
01:11:24I think they're all gone now.
01:11:27We'd better start, or we'll never make it to the highway.
01:12:19Miles, I've never heard anything so beautiful.
01:12:22It means we're not the only ones left to know what love is.
01:12:26Stay here and pray they're as human as they sound.
01:12:29Goodbye, darling.
01:12:48Come on.
01:13:18Come on.
01:13:36This is station KCAA, the 24-hour platter parade.
01:13:39The station of music and...
01:13:49Oh, my God.
01:14:11Becky!
01:14:15Becky!
01:14:18Becky, where are you?
01:14:20I'm here, Miles.
01:14:25You didn't go to sleep.
01:14:26I'm so tired.
01:14:28They weren't people.
01:14:30It was more of them.
01:14:31They're growing thousands of pods in greenhouses.
01:14:33We've got to get away.
01:14:36I'm exhausted, Miles. I can't play.
01:14:39We can't make it without sleep.
01:14:42Yes we can.
01:14:44We can't make it without sleep.
01:15:03Yes, we can.
01:15:14I went to sleep, Miles, and it happened.
01:15:29Oh, Becky.
01:15:32They were right.
01:15:34I should never have left you.
01:15:36Stop acting like a fool, Miles, and accept us.
01:15:40No.
01:15:43Never.
01:15:44He's in here.
01:15:45He's in here.
01:15:47Get him.
01:15:48Get him.
01:15:58I've been afraid a lot of times in my life, but I didn't know the real meaning of fear until I had kissed Becky.
01:16:06A moment's sleep and the girl I loved was an inhuman enemy bent on my destruction.
01:16:12That moment's sleep was death to Becky's soul, just as it had been for Jack and Teddy and Dan Kaufman and all the rest.
01:16:18Their bodies were now hosts harboring an alien form of life, a cosmic form, which to survive must take over every human man.
01:16:26So I ran, I ran.
01:16:27I ran as little Jimmy Grimaldi had run the other day.
01:16:30My only hope was to get away from Santa Mera, to get to the highway, to warn the others of what was happening.
01:16:51Wait.
01:16:52We got to get out.
01:16:53No, wait.
01:16:54Let him go.
01:16:55They'll never believe you.
01:16:56Help.
01:16:57Help.
01:16:58Help.
01:16:59Help.
01:17:00Help me.
01:17:01Wait.
01:17:02Wait.
01:17:03Stop.
01:17:04Stop.
01:17:05Stop and listen to me.
01:17:06Listen to me.
01:17:07Listen.
01:17:08Listen.
01:17:09Those people that are coming after me, they're not human.
01:17:10Listen to me.
01:17:11We're in danger.
01:17:12Get out of the street, Jimmy.
01:17:13Danger.
01:17:14Go on.
01:17:15Get out of here.
01:17:16You're in danger.
01:17:17Please.
01:17:18Get out of here.
01:17:19Go on.
01:17:20Get out of here.
01:17:21Get out of here.
01:17:22All of us.
01:17:23All of us.
01:17:24All of us.
01:17:25All of us.
01:17:26Now listen.
01:17:27Listen to me.
01:17:29Hey.
01:17:30Hey, stop.
01:17:31Pull up, will you?
01:17:32Pull over to the side of the road.
01:17:33I need your help.
01:17:34Something terrible has happened.
01:17:35Go on, you drunk.
01:17:36Get out of the street.
01:17:37Get out of here.
01:17:38Go on.
01:17:51Are you crazy, you big idiot?
01:17:54Look.
01:17:55You fools.
01:17:56You're in danger.
01:17:57Can't you see?
01:17:58They're after you.
01:17:59They're after all of us.
01:18:01Our wives, our children, everyone.
01:18:03They're here already.
01:18:06You're next.
01:18:08You're next.
01:18:09You're next.
01:18:10You're next.
01:18:12You're next.
01:18:22You don't believe a word of this, do you?
01:18:24Sure, it's fantastic, but it happened.
01:18:26Don't just sit there measuring me for a straightjacket.
01:18:28Do something.
01:18:29Get on the phone.
01:18:30Call for help.
01:18:32What's the use?
01:18:50Well, what do you think?
01:18:51Will psychiatry help?
01:18:53If all this is a nightmare, yes.
01:18:56Of course it's a nightmare.
01:18:57Plants from another world taking over human beings.
01:19:00Matt is a March Hare.
01:19:05What have we here?
01:19:07Ran his truck through a red light.
01:19:09Greyhound bus smacked him broadside and tipped him over.
01:19:12Put him in the OR.
01:19:13Will you take over Bunnell for me, doctor?
01:19:15Certainly.
01:19:16How badly is he hurt?
01:19:18Both legs, left arm broken all to bits.
01:19:21We had to dig him out from under the most peculiar things I ever saw.
01:19:26What things?
01:19:27I don't know what they are.
01:19:28I never saw them before.
01:19:30They look like great big seed pods.
01:19:33Seed pods?
01:19:35Where was the truck coming from?
01:19:37Santa Mira.
01:19:44Get on your radio and sound at all points along.
01:19:46Block all highways, stop all traffic,
01:19:48and call every law enforcement agency in the state.
01:19:52Operative, get me the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
01:19:55Yes, it's an emergency.
