00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30I don't know if she's still alive or not.
00:01:42They've had her now for the past 24 hours.
00:01:45I'm equally uncertain as to the fate of her father, Professor Elliot.
00:01:49Both are probably dead.
00:01:52The odds are 100 to 1, I too, will be finished before another sun rises.
00:01:55But tonight I'm going to try to fight for my life and those larger issues so perilously at stake, affecting all mankind.
00:02:04If I fail, it seems most likely the consequences to humanity defy the imagination.
00:02:12As the only trained reporter who has been in a position to observe the terror from its inception,
00:02:20and as one of the few living humans who has actually met face to face, a man from Planet X,
00:02:27I will try to set down the strangest story a newspaper man ever covered.
00:02:34It began prosaically enough in a college observatory not far from Los Angeles.
00:02:43What is it?
00:02:46A new planet.
00:02:47For want of another name, at present we identify it as Planet X.
00:02:51It was first spotted some weeks ago rushing out of space.
00:02:55Is this the reason Professor Elliot wired me to contact you?
00:02:59Have you known the Professor Long?
00:03:00Yeah, I was with the Eighth Air Force in England.
00:03:03The Professor was our chief meteorologist doping out weather for bomber raids.
00:03:07The British lent him to us.
00:03:09Good man, Elliot.
00:03:10Oh, the best.
00:03:11He and I became fast friends.
00:03:13He always said if he ever ran across anything of real importance, he'd give me a crack at it.
00:03:18He used to think he was kidding, but I guess not.
00:03:21No, I guess not.
00:03:24What's it all about, Doctor?
00:03:25The world, Mr. Lawrence, is now experiencing strange astronomical phenomena.
00:03:30Reports have come in from all over the globe of inexplicable objects being sighted in the sky.
00:03:35Surely you're not telling me a scientist like yourself believes such nonsense.
00:03:39No, I'm not telling you that.
00:03:41Well, then on what evidence do you base your statement?
00:03:45Unquestionable reports of trained observers.
00:03:48First, this phenomenon seemed to have no particular focal point.
00:03:52It appeared at random here and there about the world.
00:03:54But about six weeks ago, tremendous concentration was detected over a certain section of the earth.
00:04:03In particular, it's barren and isolated area.
00:04:08Burry?
00:04:10Yes.
00:04:10What do you know about it?
00:04:11Well, nothing much except that this cablegram I got from Professor Elliot came from there.
00:04:17It says, uh, if you remember my promise for exclusive story, see Dr. Robert Blaine at University Observatory.
00:04:24It's signed, Elliot.
00:04:25Strange waves.
00:04:27Resembling, but still not radar waves, have been bouncing off the earth.
00:04:32Coming from someplace outside, like the moon or Mars, for instance?
00:04:35Originating on some sphere outside, but not the moon or Mars or any known planet.
00:04:41Well, where does this planet X fit in?
00:04:44What's it rushing towards?
00:04:45The earth.
00:04:47You mean, you mean it's likely to collide with us?
00:04:50No, at least not a headlong collision.
00:04:53Oh, we've had these things before, like, uh, Halley's Comet, for instance, to name one.
00:04:58None which have come as close to our world as this one is expected to.
00:05:01In the next three weeks, if our calculations are correct.
00:05:05You, uh, think something will happen?
00:05:08I wish I knew exactly.
00:05:10At the best, atmospheric disturbances, hurricanes, probably tidal waves.
00:05:15And at the worst?
00:05:20Where does Professor Elliot fit in?
00:05:23He discovered the planet.
00:05:24Oh, is that why he's in Bury?
00:05:25If he's correct in his deductions, this isolated island is that part of the world.
00:05:30The new planet will come close us to.
00:05:32Gee, it sort of makes cold fingers run down my spine.
00:05:35How about you?
00:05:39Uh, this is not visible to the naked eye.
00:05:42Not yet.
00:05:46How do I get to Bury?
00:05:47Here you are, sir.
00:05:59This is Bury.
00:06:01Uh, do you know Professor Elliot?
00:06:03Aye, I've seen him once or twice.
00:06:06Where is he staying, do you know?
00:06:08Up at the barack.
00:06:09Good evening, dear, sir.
00:06:11Hey, wait a minute!
00:06:12Mr. Lawrence.
00:06:21Hello.
00:06:21Sorry I was late.
00:06:22I had a little motor trouble.
00:06:24Well, better late than never.
00:06:25Put your things in the back.
00:06:26All right, thanks.
00:06:34All set?
00:06:35Yeah, drive on, McDuff.
00:06:36Oh, it's getting thicker.
00:06:51It's always worse on the moors than it is in the village.
00:06:56You don't remember me, do you?
00:06:58Well, I, uh...
00:06:58Now, isn't that a fine example of how unfaithful men are?
00:07:02The last time I saw you, I got your solemn promise that when I grew up, I could be your girl.
00:07:07Good heavens, heen it, Elliot.
00:07:08Well, I...
00:07:09It took you long enough to recognize me.
00:07:11No, the last time I saw you, you were crying because you had to go back to school.
00:07:15It's all gawky legs and butt teeth.
00:07:17I see you do remember me.
00:07:20Braces took care of the teeth.
00:07:21And, uh, nature took care of the legs.
00:07:23I hadn't thought you'd noticed.
00:07:25There's a newspaper man in me.
00:07:27What a difference six years make.
00:07:29I don't think you've changed.
00:07:31Well, thank you kindly.
00:07:32Or should I thank you kindly?
00:07:52Thanks.
00:07:52Yeah.
00:07:55Hey.
00:07:56What did all this?
00:07:58Bombs?
00:07:59About the time.
00:08:00It's been this way for centuries.
00:08:02Whoever built this tower up here at the end of nowhere?
00:08:05They call these towers rocks.
00:08:07Originally built, local legend has it as a defense against the Viking raiders.
00:08:13Well, come on.
00:08:14As of midnight, the 13th of September, 1950, is as follows.
00:08:21John.
00:08:22Professor.
00:08:23It's good to see you.
00:08:23And you, my lad, and you.
00:08:25There's a cozy little place you have here.
00:08:27Serves its purpose.
00:08:28Oh, uh, you remember Dr. Mears by any chance?
00:08:32Mr. Lawrence has forgotten.
00:08:34I forgive him.
00:08:35I doubt if he ever expected to see my face again.
00:08:40Frankly, I hadn't given it much thought.
00:08:43John and I are starved.
00:08:44I suppose you and Dr. Mears have already eaten.
00:08:46Yes, we had a bite.
00:08:47Take him down into the kitchen, my dear, and fix yourself something.
00:08:49It's just a tiny place right underneath here, but home is where the pantry is.
00:08:54Isn't that so?
00:08:55That's right.
00:08:55Come along.
00:08:59Here, let us continue.
00:09:041950, is as follows.
00:09:09When I like and talent for cookery, I make up in speed.
00:09:13But I really do brew a fine cup of tea.
00:09:15Well, I hope so.
00:09:17How many of these rooms are there?
00:09:19This one's mine.
00:09:20And there's another one under this.
00:09:22Dr. Mears occupies it.
00:09:23No thanks.
00:09:23You have some.
00:09:26Hey, uh, how on earth does he happen to be here?
00:09:29Oh, you know, Father, soft-hearted as a sponge.
00:09:32Mears dropped in on us, uh, two weeks ago.
00:09:34Pleaded he was ill and broke, and jolly well looked it, too.
00:09:37And because he was one of Father's old students.
00:09:39So he's here.
00:09:41Hmm.
00:09:42Just, uh, dropped in?
00:09:43Mm-hmm.
00:09:46People don't just drop in here.
00:09:48A place on the edge of the world.
00:09:49I heard he was somewhere in Scotland.
00:09:51He's been in seclusion since that trouble he got into.
00:09:54I feel sort of sorry for him.
00:09:56Well, you needn't.
00:09:57He should have gotten 20 years.
00:09:59He did go to prison for a while, didn't he?
00:10:01I was just a kid then.
00:10:04I trust I'm not disturbing you, Mr. Lawrence.
00:10:07Professor Elliott would like to see you upstairs.
00:10:09You go ahead, John.
00:10:10I'll be up in a minute, as soon as I put away these dishes.
00:10:12All right.
00:10:13I didn't interrupt you before you'd finished, did I?
00:10:30No, I was just having some tea.
00:10:32Where's Mears?
00:10:33Well, uh, nothing's behind me.
00:10:35Oh, must have gone to his room.
00:10:37I called you to take a look at our mysterious visitor before we lose her for the night.
00:10:42Good.
00:10:43Frog's rolling in off the moors.
00:10:47Go ahead, John.
00:10:48It's tripled in size.
00:11:01Grows larger, nightly.
00:11:06Well.
00:11:09What do you think, Professor?
00:11:11I think, uh, I'll just have to wait and see on the 17th.
00:11:18Stray dog.
00:11:33Eerie place, these moors.
00:11:35They're wet, too.
00:11:37Yet they have a grim beauty of their own.
00:11:39That hot tea you drank should have warmed you nicely.
00:11:42Is that why the British drink so much of it?
00:11:43The climate?
00:11:44And because we like it.
00:11:47Hello, lightning.
00:11:47Storm brewing.
00:11:50I've heard that one may tell how distant a storm is by the number of seconds between the lightning and the thunder.
00:11:55True?
00:11:55Well, let's see.
00:11:57One.
00:11:58Two.
00:11:59Three.
00:12:00Four.
00:12:01Five.
00:12:03Six.
00:12:04Seven.
00:12:05Eight.
00:12:06Huh.
00:12:07Must be in Chicago.
00:12:08No thunder.
00:12:09No static electricity, maybe.
00:12:11This time of view?
00:12:13Say, how's the view from the top of the rise?
00:12:15Pretty, if there's anything to be seen.
00:12:16Well, I'm sure of that.
00:12:27The village is over there, but the fog's too thick.
00:12:30You'll have to take my word for the view.
00:12:31And I'll do that.
00:12:34And add three of my own.
00:12:36I like it.
00:12:39We'd better be getting back.
00:12:40Dad'll worry.
00:12:41I'll bet right now he doesn't know we're alive.
00:12:44And it's getting cold.
00:12:46I hadn't noticed.
00:12:48Well, which way?
00:12:50This.
00:12:51I think it's closer this way.
00:12:52Take it easy.
00:13:00What on earth is that?
00:13:04I don't know.
00:13:06If I were mechanically minded, I could probably tell you.
00:13:09What could it be?
00:13:10That, as we say back in the States, is the $64 question.
00:13:17Well, careful.
00:13:17It might explode or something.
00:13:18Oh, it's not a bomb.
00:13:21Yes, I don't think it is.
00:13:23Besides, what would a bomb be doing up here?
00:13:26Fell out of a plane?
00:13:28Do any ever fly across here?
00:13:31The only one that's been anywhere near here in the past six months must have been the one
00:13:34that set you off the breakwater this afternoon.
00:13:37Well, your father will probably be able to tell us what it is.
00:13:39Oh, you could never carry that back to the rock.
00:13:41It must...
00:13:42Nothing to it.
00:13:48The measurements are singularly precise.
00:13:50What is it?
00:13:52How does it operate if it does or has?
00:13:54Well, you ask more than I'm prepared to answer.
00:13:57The theory might suggest that the inside is hollow.
00:14:00And it might have contained a propulsive element of some kind, a gas, perhaps.
00:14:03Look here.
00:14:05The metal is discolored, possibly from the generation of some terrific heat.
00:14:09It's fantastic.
00:14:12Professor, look.
00:14:15Interesting.
00:14:16That should work out at about one-fifth the specific gravity of steel.
00:14:20That could mean millions.
00:14:22Millions if that formula could be reproduced.
00:14:24Wait a minute.
00:14:24I don't know if I follow you.
00:14:26What do you mean if that formula could be reproduced?
00:14:28Where do you assume this came from?
00:14:30Well, my assumption may sound fantastic.
00:14:31It may be fantastic for all I can say.
00:14:33But this object comes out of space.
00:14:38I could not deny the possibility.
00:14:41Do you realize what this metal could mean?
00:14:43It's harder than steel.
00:14:45It has tremendous tensile strength.
00:14:47And it weighs only a fifth as much as steel.
00:14:50The man who controls this formula...
00:14:51controls the industry of the world.
00:14:55Before you start spending those millions, doctor,
00:14:58consider a slight problem.
00:15:00What's that?
00:15:02If a professor's theory bears any fact,
00:15:06you're going to have a little difficulty mining that metal,
00:15:08don't you think?
00:15:09I was speaking metaphorically, of course.
00:15:12Now, you reassure me.
00:15:13Let us concentrate on this remarkable object.
00:15:16Father, it's quite late.
00:15:18The scale is delicate.
00:15:19It responds to a breath upon it.
00:15:20Father, it's quite late.
00:15:22Father, it's quite late.
00:15:22Well, that is, because I'm looking for you,
00:15:24one of these two times.
00:15:25I said you're going to have a big leap.
00:15:26Then, I'm looking for you now.
00:15:26Of course.
00:15:27I will know.
00:15:27This is what we've got.
00:15:27I'm looking for you.
00:15:28I'm looking for you,
00:15:29you're looking for you.
00:15:31I'm looking for you.
00:15:31Good.
00:15:32I'm looking for you.
00:15:33Good.
00:15:33Well, I'm looking for you.
00:15:33Oh.
00:15:37How long has it been since you've got this?
00:15:38How long has it has been since you—
00:15:38You're looking for you?
00:15:39I'm looking for your voice.
00:15:39So,
00:15:40I'm looking for you.
00:15:41Oh.
00:15:41Well, I'm looking for you.
00:15:41How long has it been since you slept?
00:15:43About 36 hours and 6,000 miles ago, I guess.
00:15:45Would you object to sharing a bed with Dr. Mears?
00:15:47Oh, no need to inflict myself on him.
00:15:49I noticed an inn at the village.
00:15:51Well, just for tonight.
00:15:53Tomorrow I'll make Dad get rid of Mears.
00:15:55Not on my account, please.
00:15:57On my own?
00:15:59Well, he upsets me.
00:16:01Well, we can't have you getting upset.
00:16:03Can we?
00:16:13Where are you going?
00:16:15I'll drive you.
00:16:27See you tomorrow.
00:16:29Well, good night.
00:16:31Thanks a lot for everything.
00:16:33Drive carefully.
00:16:34Oh, I know every stone on the road.
00:16:36John.
00:16:37Yeah?
00:16:38It's nice having you here.
00:16:40Thanks.
00:16:41Good night.
00:16:42Good night.
00:17:01Good night.
00:17:02Come on in...
00:17:18Can't find the luck.

00:21:05Where?
00:21:07Over the next drive.
00:21:19I don't see anything.
00:21:21I think it's straight ahead.
00:21:27Look.
00:21:35Quietly now.
00:22:05Come closer.
00:22:09Come closer.
00:22:13Come closer.
00:22:15Come closer.
00:22:17Come closer.
00:22:23When you a find,
00:22:55I can't see much.
00:23:13No face at least certain of that.
00:23:16What is it?
00:23:18Obviously a creation of science.
00:23:20That's beyond question.
00:23:22But manufactured by whom?
00:23:24And for what purpose?
00:23:25Careful, Bobby.
00:23:27Look, the light went out.
00:23:30Come on.
00:23:31Come on.
00:23:37Come on.
00:23:44Let's get away from here.
00:24:10We should have waited until daylight.
00:24:12It was senseless coming out here in the dark.
00:24:13I'm uncanny.
00:24:15Come on, Father.
00:24:17Get up, Father.
00:24:19Is anything the matter?
00:24:23Father, do you hear me?
00:24:28Hurry.
00:24:29Come on.
00:24:30Hurry.
00:24:43Please, wait.
00:24:55Father, stop.
00:24:58Father.
00:24:59Don't stare at me.
00:25:04Come with me.
00:25:06Come with me.
00:25:11Slowly.
00:25:12Come with me.
00:25:13Come with me.
00:25:15All I was capable of was obedience when I heard a command.
00:25:17It was a complete paralysis of the faculties other than blind, slavish movement.
00:25:23Well, we seem to be confronted by a concrete menace, willful, hostile.
00:25:28Do you think, could it possibly have something to do with that planet?
00:25:30Do you think, could it possibly have something to do with that planet?
00:25:34Don't have a question.
00:25:36scarcity?
00:25:36Where do you think, hose lines?
00:25:38Unm its right to stand?
00:25:39Nothing other than blind, slavish movement.
00:25:40Well, we seem to be confronted by a concrete menace.
00:25:45Willful.
00:25:46Hostile.
00:25:47Does it possibly have something to do with that planet?
00:26:17Oh, am I glad to see you.
00:26:19What's doing? I saw your car on the road. Is anything the matter?
00:26:21We've had a bad case of the jitters.
00:26:23But I shouldn't keep you out here on the doorstep. Come on in.
00:26:29Well, your theory, Professor, is that these singular occurrences
00:26:33are in some way connected with the planet.
00:26:35You know what?
00:26:36You know what?
00:26:37You know what?
00:26:38You know what?
00:26:39You know what?
00:26:40You know what?
00:26:41You know what?
00:26:42You know what?
00:26:43You know what?
00:26:44You know what?
00:26:45These singular occurrences are in some way connected with planet X.
00:26:48Have you a better theory to offer?
00:26:51No, but you'll have to pardon me if it takes me a moment to get my bearings.
00:26:57What do you think this is building up to?
00:26:59Well, I must confess I'm beyond my depth.
00:27:01We have but one theory to work on.
00:27:04In approximately 60 hours, the planet's orbit will bring it into its closest position to this world.
00:27:09And Burry will be the nearest spot on the Earth to the planet,
00:27:12and whatever and whomever is upon it.
00:27:1560 hours.
00:27:18Don't you think we'd better notify the police?
00:27:20Well, what should we notify them of?
00:27:22Well, that ball out there, this gadget Enid and I found.
00:27:25And defeat everything that we've spent all these weeks in this forsaken spot to achieve,
00:27:29being overrun by the curious?
00:27:31Somebody's liable to run onto that thing out there.
00:27:33Oh, it isn't likely.
00:27:35This area of the moors is checkered with marshes.
00:27:37Many a straying farm animal has been swallowed up.
00:27:40That place has a bad name.
00:27:42The natives keep their distance.
00:27:44Where's this ball now?
00:27:45I'll take you.
00:27:46You can see it from the edge of this rock.
00:27:49Look.
00:27:51No sign of glass.
00:28:00You know what that looks like to me?
00:28:06A big diving bell.
00:28:08Well, the only difference between water and space is a matter of density.
00:28:13Here.
00:28:14It's pretty quiet now.
00:28:15Let's go down and take a look.
00:28:17Hmm.
00:28:38Ah, that everlasting fog.
00:28:40The mistake put the climate around here.
00:28:44Come on.
00:28:47Well, that's not mean.
00:28:49No, no, no.
00:28:51No, no, no, no.
00:28:52No, no, no, no.
00:28:54No, no, no.
00:28:56I'll see you.
00:29:13Glass?
00:29:15I wonder, it was my wife's.
00:29:21Diamonds cut glass.
00:29:24Not a scratch.
00:29:25...glass, and practically any other substance on earth.
00:29:28This must be tremendously resistant.
00:29:30I can't think of anything known to man equally so.
00:29:40And this you believe...
00:29:41...from out of space?
00:29:43What else?
00:29:45Well, what's the next step, Professor?
00:29:56Keep it carefully under observation until the 17th...
00:29:59...and find out whether it has any connection...
00:30:01...with what may or may not happen then.
00:30:04We'd better be getting back. We don't want to worry any too much.
00:30:06Quite right.
00:30:15The thing he's holding. Watch it. Don't move.
00:30:21If he doesn't take the idea and make a move for me...
00:30:24...you run. Run as hard and as fast as you can...
00:30:27...and come back with help. Lots of it.
00:30:29Ever tried outrunning the speed of light?
00:30:31Well, here goes. This is a universal gesture. Maybe it'll work.
00:30:45What's the matter with him?
00:31:02Hear that hissing noise?
00:31:04Sounds like it's coming from that tank on his back.
00:31:07Probably filled with gas. Something like oxygen.
00:31:10Whatever it is, he's trying to regulate it.
00:31:12Seems as if he's trying to turn that knob to the right...
00:31:15...but he doesn't have the strength or coordination.
00:31:42Must have decided we're friendly natives.
00:31:48We've got to find some means of communication.
00:31:51He's capable of sound.
00:31:53It may be an attempt to communicate. It seems hopeless, though.
00:31:56Looks as if we're up against the blank wall.
00:31:59Well, let's beat it back to the Brock.
00:32:01What, and leave him?
00:32:02The question is, will he let us?
00:32:04It's maddening. Here we have this astounding creature...
00:32:07...with his vast potential for fabulous knowledge to be given us...
00:32:10...and we may only stand and stare at each other.
00:32:14Lawrence!
00:32:16Elliot!
00:32:17Oh.
00:32:18I'm getting primitive in my excitement.
00:32:21It's foolish of me.
00:32:22What about sign language?
00:32:24Shall I try it?
00:32:25Well, just don't alarm him.
00:32:27It's no use.
00:32:37Start backing up.
00:32:39If he makes a move for that thing in his holster...
00:32:41...stop.
00:32:43All right. Back up.
00:32:57All right, now. On the double.
00:33:11What's the matter?
00:33:12Father!
00:33:13I'm all right.
00:33:15John, where have you been? I've been so...
00:33:17I'vejesiou.
00:33:35Roll you!
00:33:38Any luck nothing works he just keeps making that sound to everything we try to do how is he in it did this sedative work yeah she's asleep now good we've got to reach him
00:34:08yeah you have found a means of communication doctor yes what common denominator professor the basic and universal language geometry by George doctor you've hit it if anything should warrant success this should excuse me professor you've lost me I'm the shadowy figure in the left background with a stupid expression on his face I don't get this mathematics well there may be no scientific achievement without mathematics in itself it's the pure
00:34:38language of science now this creature represents an obviously superior race of beings where science is concerned to be able to land on the earth from a planet whose existence was previously unsuspecting I'm up to you now if there's anything our friend here should be able to understand we might use as a bridge to reach him
00:34:56it's this same basic language geometry precisely professor this is not an easy formula to devise which I understand doctor you need undisturbed concentration let us know when you're ready come along John
00:35:08if you're you're leaving him alone I presume your concern arises from fears for my safety mr. Lawrence
00:35:14uh spare yourself any anxiety this creature is as intelligent as we he knows that we are trying to find a mutual basis for understanding I'm quite safe mirrors is right come to
00:35:28uh
00:35:58I'll have the world in my pocket, with your help.
00:36:28Now, don't start fussing about me like that, my dear.
00:36:38Well, I have a little touch of the flu.
00:36:39It's nothing to get so overwrought about.
00:36:41Well, you're going to stay in bed.
00:36:43Look, now, here's a compromise.
00:36:44Suppose I pedal into the village to the drugstore and get some medicine that will, well, at least alleviate the...
00:36:48Chemist in England.
00:36:50Chemist or drugstore.
00:36:51Anyway, I'll get something that'll knock this out.
00:36:53You stay in bed until I get back.
00:36:55Oh, that creature downstairs...
00:36:58Oh, don't worry about him.
00:36:59I'll take a look at him.
00:37:00Well, I don't like leaving you here, but...
00:37:03Well, I'll get back as fast as I can.
00:37:04Oh, wait.
00:37:05Here are the keys to the car.
00:37:06If you fix that tire, it'll save you a lot of time.
00:37:08Fine.
00:37:17All right, what's over here now?
00:37:19Oh, morning, constable.
00:37:22Isn't that Miss Elliot's car?
00:37:23Yeah, visiting her father.
00:37:26Ah, so you're the man from America.
00:37:28Yeah.
00:37:30Talks to me saying none's our avail up to the prop.
00:37:33They're absolutely right.
00:37:35It's the range doings at all time of the night.
00:37:38Naturally.
00:37:39Excuse me.
00:37:39Aye.
00:37:41Naturally, you say, man?
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:43Professor Elliot hasn't touched the flu.
00:37:45Oh, so, it's true.
00:37:47As a matter of fact, I'm on the way in now to the chemist to get him some medicine.
00:37:51Aye.
00:37:52So, if you'll excuse me.
00:37:53Aye.
00:37:53This shall be my secret.
00:38:02To think, a fantastic gnome like you had a hurdle out of space.
00:38:31To put this power into my hands.
00:38:37Well, now that we've made contact, I'm going to tear out every secret you've got.
00:38:45We're going to ration this.
00:38:49We're going to ration this.
00:38:53We're going to ration this.
00:38:59And you're going to start earning it.
00:39:18Dr. Mears.
00:39:22Dr. Mears.
00:39:34What is it?
00:39:35Father would like to see you.
00:39:36He's resting.
00:40:01Were you able to communicate with him?
00:40:03No.
00:40:09It was a futile attempt.
00:40:11I couldn't make him understand me at all.
00:40:14I'm most disappointed.
00:40:16I had high hopes.
00:40:18Oh, I felt sure you were on the right track.
00:40:22Well, I will have to try another method.
00:40:26How are you feeling?
00:40:28Everybody's so concerned about me.
00:40:32May I trouble you for a glass of water, please?
00:40:34Yes.
00:40:58Let's go.
00:41:04Got the stuff.
00:41:06Should have you up and around in no time.
00:41:08Where's Enid?
00:41:10In the kitchen.
00:41:14Enid.
00:41:18Enid.
00:41:20Enid.
00:41:22Enid was gone.
00:41:24Had I sacrificed her just for a newspaper story?
00:41:28That was the thought which tormented me.
00:41:44She's nowhere around.
00:41:45The dungeon's empty.
00:41:46Empty?
00:41:47What happened after I left?
00:41:48Enid.
00:41:49He must have taken her with him.
00:41:50Come on.
00:41:51Where to?
00:41:52The sphere out on the moor.
00:41:53Where else would he take her?
00:41:54You got a gun, Professor?
00:41:55I have one.
00:41:56I have one.
00:41:57I have one.
00:41:58I have one.
00:41:59I have one.
00:42:00I have one.
00:42:01I have one.
00:42:02I have one.
00:42:03I have one.
00:42:04Enid.
00:42:05Now, wait a minute, Professor.
00:42:06Be sensible, please.
00:42:07You better stay in bed.
00:42:08We'll go out and reconnoit her and be back as soon as we can.
00:42:10Let's go.
00:42:11Well, the gun's in my room.
00:42:12I'll meet you out front.
00:42:14What did he do to him?
00:42:16Well, he was trying to establish communication.
00:42:18How?
00:42:19Well, yes, I know geometrically, but how else?
00:42:21How?
00:42:22Well, yes, I know geometrically, but how else?
00:42:24What happened after I left?
00:42:25What happened after I left?
00:42:26Enid.
00:42:27He must have taken her with him.
00:42:28Come on.
00:42:29Where to?
00:42:30The sphere out on the moor.
00:42:31Where else would he take her?
00:42:32You got a gun, Professor?
00:42:33Oh, yes, I know geometrically, but how else?
00:42:35Well, what do you mean?
00:42:36Well, did he abuse him, provoke him in any way?
00:42:38Well, there certainly wouldn't have been any sense in doing so.
00:42:40Well, I don't consider Mears a sensible man.
00:42:43He's an ambitious man, a brilliant man, an unscrupulous man,
00:42:46but certainly not a sensible one.
00:42:47But why should he be so foolish as to try to jeopardize him?
00:42:50Well, he may have to answer for that one of these days.
00:42:53Here.
00:42:54Directions are on the bottle.
00:42:55You'd better take it and stay in bed.
00:43:03What?
00:43:04Anything?
00:43:06Not a sign.
00:43:08Nothing.
00:43:09We can't risk a move.
00:43:10Enid might be in there.
00:43:12What did you do to him back there in the dungeon?
00:43:14Do to him?
00:43:15Didn't do anything.
00:43:16Nothing at all.
00:43:17He showed a definite disposition toward friendliness when I left.
00:43:20Well, how can you talk of him as if he were a human being?
00:43:23How do we know what thought processes run through his head?
00:43:26How can we even assume that he thinks like we do?
00:43:28How can you anticipate what a fantastic organism like that might do or might not do?
00:43:33All right, all right.
00:43:34Stay here and I'll be back as soon as I can.
00:43:43If anything should happen to Enid, I'll never forgive myself.
00:43:47I should never have exposed it to this danger.
00:43:52I should never have exposed it to this danger.
00:44:11The night was haunted by terror and the sickening conviction that the man from Planet X had Enid powerless in his grasp.
00:44:17If she was to be saved, I had to think calmly.
00:44:22I checked off my resources.
00:44:24Help from the village?
00:44:25I dared not risk it with Enid a captive.
00:44:28The professor?
00:44:29Ill.
00:44:30Helpless.
00:44:31Dr. Mears?
00:44:32Unstable.
00:44:33Unpredictable.
00:44:34If I only were not so helpless before the voiceless threat of the unknown.
00:44:47The 不 Two.
00:44:49Is that still possible?
00:44:50The
00:44:53The
00:44:57The
00:45:03The
00:45:10The
00:45:11The
00:45:13The
00:45:14The
00:45:15The
00:45:16Where was Enid?
00:45:27And where was the man from Planet X?
00:45:40Good evening to you, sir.
00:45:42Good heavens, man.
00:45:42Don't you knock?
00:45:43I thought you heard us coming up the stairs.
00:45:45No, I didn't.
00:45:46I didn't mean to fright you, sir.
00:45:48And what brings you here?
00:45:50They would like to speak with the professor.
00:45:52Well, he's sick.
00:45:52He's under a sedative.
00:45:53What do you want with him?
00:45:55It is a matter of considerable importance.
00:45:57Aye, Sandy Burns and Mike Lang have gone.
00:46:00Gone?
00:46:00Where?
00:46:01Why?
00:46:01Clarence vanished.
00:46:02And none can tell where.
00:46:04I don't get you.
00:46:06Gordy and me, we've been out on the moor searching for him.
00:46:09We dropped by here to look in on you.
00:46:11Well, you don't think I have your two villagers up here, do you?
00:46:13Each night they drave the sheep in from the moors.
00:46:17Last night they didn't come home.
00:46:19There are two of them.
00:46:20And what we want to know, is it any of your doing here at the Barak?
00:46:24Up here?
00:46:25You'll deny there's something very strange going on here.
00:46:28No.
00:46:31I won't deny it.
00:46:32Something strange has been going on.
00:46:34I was right.
00:46:35Boogie-doings.
00:46:36Aye, aye.
00:46:38No.
00:46:39What exactly is the nature of this?
00:46:41This, uh, Elliot has disappeared.
00:46:43Aye, Mr.
00:46:44Look, no.
00:46:45She has no.
00:46:46Are you any idea as to whether she could be?
00:46:48Yes, I have.
00:46:50But I can't tell you.
00:46:52When do I know?
00:46:53You wouldn't believe me.
00:46:54I'll have to show you.
00:46:56Oh, show me, is it?
00:46:59I'll have tried to explain on the way if your friend will stay with the professor while we're gone.
00:47:04Well, all right.
00:47:07But there'd best be no monkey business of a foreign nature.
00:47:11I'll go with you.
00:47:13And Gordy?
00:47:14Aye, Tommy.
00:47:16If I'm not back in a reasonable time, call out the village.
00:47:20Aye.
00:47:20Boogie's work.
00:47:46Boogie's work.
00:47:50Boogie.
00:47:55Iron, they believe such clapper-clawing.
00:47:57That's why I'm going to show you.
00:47:58It's that sphere which brought him out of space.
00:48:00Go quietly now.
00:48:01It's just over the next rise.
00:48:02Aye, it's daft.
00:48:04You are completely flummoxed.
00:48:05Or it is some American joke.
00:48:07Look, I don't enjoy walking out on these cold moors.
00:48:10Professor Elliot hasn't been living in that boldy brock because he likes it.
00:48:13And his daughter hasn't disappeared.
00:48:14It's a joke.
00:48:15Aye.
00:48:16You make it sound very sober.
00:48:18It's a sorry part of the moors for honest men to be in.
00:48:24Oh, and easy.
00:48:28Straight ahead now.
00:48:29Aye.
00:48:33I didn't see a thing.
00:48:35But this is the spot where I left Mears just a few hours ago.
00:48:38You'll tell me he's got a why, too.
00:48:41Mears.
00:48:44Mears.
00:48:44Mears.
00:48:48Give me a light.
00:48:52Aye.
00:48:56I didn't see a thing.
00:48:59There, there.
00:48:59You see where the brush is flattened?
00:49:02What's this?
00:49:04Mears' binoculars.
00:49:05Ah, come on.
00:49:07It must be I've been sampling too much of our good Scott whiskey.
00:49:10Find it a pair of glasses that don't mean or much.
00:49:12What about your two villagers have disappeared?
00:49:14Miss Elliott.
00:49:14And now Mears.
00:49:16Believe me, man, we're in trouble.
00:49:18We'll go back to the station house.
00:49:19I'll get out of search party.
00:49:21In the meanwhile, I'll keep me eyes on you.
00:49:23I don't care where you keep your eyes, provided you do something.
00:49:25Now, we'll go along with you.
00:49:28Tammy.
00:49:30Have you found my mom?
00:49:31Was out on the moor.
00:49:32Gave you any clue, constable?
00:49:34Nay, not.
00:49:35We're going to have found a thing.
00:49:42But two more persons are missing.
00:49:45One is the old professor's daughter.
00:49:47The other is one of the men staying up to the block.
00:49:51But don't you worry.
00:49:52We'll find them for you.
00:49:54Donnell.
00:49:55Aye.
00:49:56You go up one side of the village, knock on the doors.
00:49:58Andre.
00:49:59Aye.
00:49:59You go up to the other side.
00:50:01We'll have to search the moor thorough.
00:50:02It'll take every man and body.
00:50:03Tell the men to bring what arms they have.
00:50:05Aye.
00:50:05Andre, Donald, you hear that?
00:50:07Aye.
00:50:07Get on with you, then.
00:50:10Raleigh.
00:50:11What ails you, man?
00:50:12Act like you've seen a ghost or something.
00:50:14A ghost?
00:50:15No.
00:50:16Something of flesh and blood.
00:50:18Yet of neither.
00:50:19A horrible, monstrous creature with a hat as big as two men put together.
00:50:23A skin with the shine of a new shillin.
00:50:25And eyes that are no better than a dead codfish.
00:50:27Wait a minute.
00:50:28Where'd you see him?
00:50:29Why'd you leave the professor?
00:50:30I didn't leave him.
00:50:30He up and left me.
00:50:31What are you saying?
00:50:32I went to fill the water jug at the well.
00:50:34By the time I was coming back, the professor was walking into the fog with that friend
00:50:38of his who's been stopping with him.
00:50:39Dr. Mears?
00:50:40Aye, that's him.
00:50:40I heard him call by name.
00:50:42What happened?
00:50:42The professor's ill.
00:50:43The other one was helping him.
00:50:44He looked no better than a dead man himself with his glassy eyes.
00:50:48I was afraid.
00:50:49And I followed him.
00:50:52Then, then t'was I saw it.
00:50:55It?
00:50:55It what, Martin?
00:50:56The boogie.
00:50:56The boogie.
00:50:58Boogie.
00:50:59With the big head and the peculiar hump on his back.
00:51:02He stepped out of the fog a wee bit before the professor and his friend.
00:51:05And I didn't wait to see what else happened.
00:51:07I ran until I thought my heart would burst from my chest.
00:51:10All right.
00:51:10Get back now.
00:51:11Get back.
00:51:13Well, Mr. Lawrence.
00:51:18What do you make of that?
00:51:20It's that creature from out of space.
00:51:22He's got Mears in his clutches and used him to get the professor into his hands.
00:51:25Chances are that's where you'll find the men from the village, too.
00:51:27Not from space.
00:51:29What clapper claws does this?
00:51:36It is a fearsome visitor from another world.
00:51:39Is it complete dapty, our constable?
00:51:49It is why the professor has been living up to the block to see what would happen when an unknown planet came close to the earth on the night of the 17th.
00:52:02That's a few days from now.
00:52:04Why here on battery?
00:52:05Because the professor's calculations told him this would be the area of closest contact with the planet.
00:52:09But the boogie.
00:52:11Does any of them?
00:52:12We have every reason to believe it is.
00:52:15Get a jump.
00:52:15Get a jump.
00:52:16Here, here, here.
00:52:17Wait, Joe.
00:52:18The last is the children.
00:52:21Stay behind locked doors.
00:52:22You men.
00:52:29We'll be all over town in no time.
00:52:31We've got to get out on the moors.
00:52:32Man, you couldn't get a loan out there tonight.
00:52:34Then we'll have to get help from the outside.
00:52:35Have you got a radio?
00:52:36Uh, I mean, a wireless?
00:52:37Not for outside contact.
00:52:46Call London.
00:52:47Tell them what's happened here.
00:52:49And ask for help at once.
00:52:51Hello?
00:52:53Are you there?
00:52:55Hello?
00:52:56Hello there.
00:52:57It's dead.
00:52:58Let me try.
00:52:59Hello, operator?
00:53:01Operator.
00:53:02Hello, hello, hello.
00:53:04You had this trouble before?
00:53:05Only doing climate disturbances and the like.
00:53:08There's no local exchange here, huh?
00:53:09It's over in the mainland.
00:53:10The wire goes across the bottom of the sea.
00:53:12Well, except for the fog, the weather isn't too bad.
00:53:15I can't understand it.
00:53:17Look, lend me your bicycle and I'll go back to the Brock.
00:53:19Maybe there I'll find something that, well, who knows.
00:53:22Just a fine risk you'd be running.
00:53:23It's better than hanging around here just waiting.
00:53:26The bicycle's outside.
00:53:28Thanks.
00:53:29I'll be back in a few hours.
00:53:30You hang on that phone.
00:53:31Hey.
00:53:32Hello?
00:54:02These two must have undergone the same treatment.
00:54:19You mean they were often independent of their own inclinations and will?
00:54:22They were acting just like slaves and seeking other villagers to be enslaved with them.
00:54:26But for what purpose?
00:54:27Can't you see, man?
00:54:28He's building an army.
00:54:29An army?
00:54:29And if he hasn't stopped, he'll have every man in this village to carry out his orders.
00:54:35Man, you take the taste of the tea right out of my mouth.
00:54:38You have any luck with the phone?
00:54:39Nothing but jangling and clangling and buzzing.
00:54:42Isn't there any way at all we can get word off this island?
00:54:44Nay, nay, nay.
00:54:47Except...
00:54:48What?
00:54:48What?
00:54:49Well, talk, man.
00:54:50I was thinking perhaps heliograph.
00:54:52Well, try it at once.
00:54:54There's not enough sunlight to get to the nearest place.
00:54:56Well, there's enough to reach that boat out there.
00:54:59Hey.
00:55:00Hey, wait, you're...
00:55:01Fast, fast.
00:55:02Before it sails by.
00:55:03Righto.
00:55:08Hurry up.
00:55:09She'll be nosing into that fog bag in a few minutes.
00:55:11Right.
00:55:11Emergency.
00:55:19Village.
00:55:22Terror stricken.
00:55:25Contact.
00:55:28Scotland Yard.
00:55:30There she's gone.
00:55:32Aye.
00:55:34Fog bank swallowed her up.
00:55:37Think they saw us?
00:55:38I cannot tell.
00:55:39Oh, look here lad, let me go, this is no time for friends.
00:55:43Oh lad, what's going wrong, Freddy?
00:55:46What is going into here?
00:55:48Let me lose!
00:56:09Oh.

00:56:29Hello.
00:56:31Hello.
00:56:34Don't cry.
00:56:37and i found it at the new location where he moved it it was being fortified and i have no doubt that
00:56:54the men doing the job were the same ones who disappeared from the village but i was too far
00:56:58away to recognize them and i have some news for you two two more of the men of the village have
00:57:04been taken how'd that happen young wilkie and bobby harris young wilkie went down to look at his
00:57:09cows they hadn't been milk for two days his sister said he left a little before sunrise
00:57:14he didn't return bobby went on to look at his boat to see if it were up above the midnight tide line
00:57:20he didn't return that if the men left don't buckle down the job this is going to be a village of
00:57:25zombies oh come on you cannot get them off it is the fear of the unknown that has frightened them
00:57:29even if they were willing to take the risk their losses would not let them what are we going to do
00:57:33stand around here and let him send for us too
00:57:35come come in

00:58:32just how do you expect to cope with this situation inspector

00:58:44a detachment of the military that creature won't be taken
00:58:48he'll fight and all those people he's captured will die with him
00:58:51besides how'll you get the soldiers here the telephone's out
00:58:54our plane has a wireless
00:58:56there just might be another way

00:59:22the people from the village dr mears everyone
00:59:24professor elliot told you that planet would be within the earth's gravitational orbit by midnight
00:59:29the consequences of such an unparalleled proximity could be
00:59:34anything
00:59:35none of us know what that that enigma out on the moors might be planning
00:59:41i you're right professor's theory was
00:59:44invasion we can't risk determining whether it has any fact
00:59:48a planet of such size coming so close to ours
00:59:52might cause a disastrous atmospheric upheaval as well
00:59:56therefore mr lawrence 11 o'clock
00:59:59we dare not delay beyond that time
01:00:02do you understand
01:00:03yeah

01:03:25they will be doomed
01:03:27how'd they get so close to earth

01:08:47THE END
01:09:17You're going back with Inspector Porter and his plane.
01:09:25Yep.
01:09:26But this time tomorrow afternoon, we'll be...
01:09:28Far out over the ocean.
01:09:30Going home.
01:09:31Mm-hmm.
01:09:34I'll miss you.
01:09:36Your father tells me you're coming to California.
01:09:38So he can confer with Dr. Blaine.
01:09:40Mm-hmm.
01:09:41Soon.
01:09:42Good.
01:09:44Is it true that no one will ever know what happened here?
01:09:47Knowledge would only bring more fear in a world already filled with it.
01:09:52Can such a thing be kept a secret?
01:09:54No.
01:09:55No, but it can be reduced to gossip.
01:09:59You know, I think that creature was friendly.
01:10:03I wonder what would have happened if...
01:10:05If Dr. Mears hadn't frightened him.
01:10:08Who knows?
01:10:10Perhaps the greatest curse to ever befall the world, or...
01:10:14Perhaps the greatest blessing.
01:10:17I haven't been exposed to.
01:10:19I'm the king.
01:10:20I swear.
01:10:22I have never had that
