Village of the Damned

en
00:00:46 Good morning.
00:00:48 Would you get me Maj. Bernard
00:00:52 Thank you.
00:01:05 Hello. Thank you.
00:01:08 Alan? It's Gordon.
00:01:11 Look, you're coming down here today,
00:01:15 Could you pick up a book for me
00:01:32 Gordon?
00:01:36 Operator.
00:01:40 Blast.
00:01:42 It got cut off. That was my brother-in-law.
00:01:45 Would you try again? I have got to change.
00:01:47 Yes, sir.
00:01:50 Operator, we've been cut off
00:01:54 Would you get it again, please?
00:01:58 Hello, will you replace
00:02:03 Please replace your receiver.
00:05:02 - For more than an hour, you're saying.
00:05:04 Perhaps something went wrong
00:05:06 This is what puzzles me.
00:05:07 I have also tried the vicar,
00:05:11 I can't get any reply from any of them.
00:05:13 Country telephone exchanges
00:05:15 Yes, I know, sir, but look here.
00:05:19 Midwich is here.
00:05:21 Now 4th Brigade are running that exercise
00:05:25 I don't think there's anything in it,
00:05:28 as I was going down for the weekend...
00:05:30 whether I could have your permission
00:05:33 All right, Alan.
00:05:34 - Give me a ring later. I'll be here till 5:00.
00:05:37 - Alan.
00:05:40 Have a nice weekend.
00:05:43 I will. Goodbye, sir.
00:06:05 - Hello, Gobby.
00:06:08 What's happened to the telephones?
00:06:11 It's funny you should ask, Major.
00:06:13 I've been sent to look for the bus
00:06:16 We can't get through by phone either.
00:06:34 Here's your bus, Gobby.
00:06:37 Struth.
00:06:40 Better have a look.
00:07:19 All right, Alan,
00:07:22 - What's his name?
00:07:25 Tell him to call me
00:07:27 I'll get things moving this end.
00:07:30 Make sure the newspapers
00:07:33 If anything has got out of hand there,
00:07:36 Report back
00:07:38 Right, sir.
00:07:41 Get me South Eastern Command, please.
00:07:44 Over here, Sergeant.
00:08:22 Look, the canary.
00:08:30 - You needn't go in if you don't want to.
00:08:32 - Quite sure?
00:09:06 - What on earth's happening...
00:09:09 Hello, Doctor, I'm glad you're here.
00:09:30 - What's wrong with him?
00:09:35 - Will you take a look at him, Doc?
00:09:44 Pulse is normal.
00:09:46 Seems to be breathing normally.
00:09:50 I think he's just fainted.
00:09:53 He's coming round.
00:09:55 You better let me know
00:09:57 - When were you last in the village?
00:09:59 I left at about 10:00.
00:10:01 Had a couple of patients to see
00:10:03 Now there are road blocks
00:10:05 I've got to get back.
00:10:07 My hunch is that all your patients
00:10:09 are in the same state as this man.
00:10:13 All right, old chap. Take it easy.
00:10:19 What can it be?
00:10:21 To put a man out like a light,
00:10:27 - Some sort of gas?
00:10:30 Any breeze would have blown it
00:10:32 The edges of the area
00:10:37 Cold.
00:10:39 - What did you say?
00:10:43 I'm all right, sir, only cold.
00:10:46 My hands are like ice.
00:10:56 Midwich to Charlie Alpha.
00:10:58 Can you see anything? Over.
00:11:01 Everything looks all right from here. Over.
00:11:04 Let me speak to him.
00:11:08 Hello, Charlie Alpha.
00:11:11 Can you see nothing unusual at all
00:11:14 No, sir, nothing.
00:11:17 Matter of fact, that's odd.
00:11:20 I can see some people,
00:11:25 They're lying on the ground.
00:11:27 - As though they've fallen?
00:11:30 Right.
00:11:32 Take it down slowly, but pull up
00:11:35 Feel anything, sir?
00:11:37 - Anything unusual.
00:11:48 Still nothing moving, sir. Taking her down.
00:11:52 Careful now.
00:12:03 Easy.
00:12:56 Another aircraft approaching.
00:12:59 All aircraft to avoid this area
00:13:02 Yes, sir.
00:13:03 Midwich to base. Emergency.
00:13:07 Warn all aircraft to avoid area,
00:13:11 Latitude 51 degrees, 10 minutes,
00:13:15 Longitude 1 degree, 11 minutes,
00:13:18 Maintain minimum altitude
00:13:40 Blimey! Look!
00:15:27 Darling, I'm sorry. I must have dozed off.
00:15:33 Look at the time. It's almost 3:00.
00:15:37 Why didn't you call me?
00:15:41 I'd better go and see about lunch.
00:15:47 Anthea.
00:15:55 I found myself asleep on the floor.
00:16:00 What an extraordinary thing to do.
00:16:08 I'm cold.
00:16:11 The fire's gone out.
00:16:14 Did you...
00:16:17 Did we faint?
00:16:19 Must have blacked out.
00:16:22 Why?
00:16:25 My hands are quite numb.
00:16:35 What did happen?
00:16:38 I don't know.
00:16:56 You're all right.
00:16:58 - You're late.
00:17:01 Get through?
00:17:02 What did you mean you're all right?
00:17:04 It's extraordinary,
00:17:07 - I know.
00:17:08 It was not only you two.
00:17:13 All of Midwich was cut off
00:18:00 - Anything registering?
00:18:03 Keep at it.
00:18:07 - Mr. Zellaby.
00:18:10 Are these people
00:18:13 - Not the telephone company.
00:18:16 If they want to
00:18:18 they ought to try something better.
00:18:19 - I'm trying to find out...
00:18:23 What's happened isn't natural.
00:18:25 Tell you what we'll do.
00:18:30 while you help to stop the rumors
00:18:38 Do you mind?
00:18:40 - Soil samples?
00:18:41 - Plant life?
00:18:43 Don't forget insects, grasses,
00:18:45 The sooner and more elaborate
00:18:49 It's okay. This is Professor Gordon Zellaby.
00:18:51 Yes, sir.
00:18:54 No one seems to have come to any harm.
00:18:57 A few cuts and bruises where they fell.
00:18:59 Lucky no one was in their bath.
00:19:02 Hello, Mrs. Harrington.
00:19:05 The least they can do is offer us
00:19:09 - But you feel all right?
00:19:12 And a large burn in my best dress
00:19:15 What the wife means is...
00:19:17 you don't hardly expect to drop asleep
00:19:22 We've established that whatever it was,
00:19:27 It didn't register on radar.
00:19:29 It showed nothing on our Geiger counters.
00:19:31 You have got the reports there.
00:19:33 There are no signs of physical,
00:19:36 That's practically meaningless.
00:19:38 For instance, serious exposure
00:19:42 need not have an immediate effect.
00:19:44 But these people
00:19:47 - And yourself.
00:19:49 It would be a bit tricky
00:19:52 My instructions are to keep
00:19:55 - National security?
00:19:59 Until we know the cause,
00:20:03 Since you are there, suppose you
00:20:06 If you find anything,
00:20:08 There's no need
00:20:10 More security? Ever cautious.
00:20:14 It gets under the skin, you know.
00:20:52 - Anything else today, Mrs. Zellaby?
00:20:56 I'll have to get in a new supply of pickles
00:20:59 I do seem to be getting through a lot
00:21:02 That'll be £17.6.
00:21:05 - Shall I add it to the account?
00:21:07 How's the Professor?
00:21:10 He's very well. Very well indeed.
00:21:13 Good morning.
00:21:20 - Miss Ogle, dear.
00:21:23 I think there's going to be news
00:21:27 News? What kind of news?
00:21:33 Hello.
00:21:37 I said, hello.
00:21:41 - How long have you been here?
00:21:44 Liar.
00:21:51 I have just discovered a fascinating thing.
00:21:53 Here are the plant samples from that day.
00:21:56 This one for example.
00:21:58 What's happening is exactly
00:22:02 Why did you kiss me like that?
00:22:06 Come on, what's the secret?
00:22:08 Something's afoot. Why are you so happy?
00:22:12 Now, Gordon, I want you to sit down.
00:22:16 Keep quite calm.
00:22:20 Now.
00:22:22 We have apparently succeeded...
00:22:25 in crossing a Zellaby Gordonius
00:22:29 Just what the results will be,
00:22:36 I think you should sit down.
00:22:38 - Can I get you some tea?
00:22:41 A drink? No, that wouldn't be right.
00:22:43 Feet up?
00:22:45 - Something to eat?
00:22:46 What?
00:22:48 Cheese, pickles,
00:22:51 Recently my favorite diet.
00:22:54 Mrs. Plumpton at the shop has.
00:22:57 I have been too engrossed in my work,
00:23:10 Thank you, darling.
00:23:15 But all the more so
00:23:19 Now then, what was it you wanted?
00:23:22 Cheese, pickles...
00:23:24 and half a dozen anchovies.
00:23:40 I'm afraid there's no doubt about it.
00:23:43 Milly...
00:23:44 I wish there was something I could say
00:23:47 'cause I know what
00:23:49 from some of the people
00:23:52 But you can count on me to do anything
00:23:55 Do you think I'd...
00:23:57 Do you think I could...
00:23:58 Milly, I told you, there's no doubt about it.
00:24:02 Now if there's anyone
00:24:05 But I've never...
00:24:08 It's impossible.
00:24:16 This is some present, Jim. Thanks a lot.
00:24:18 Where did you say you got it? Tokyo?
00:24:22 It's a real beauty.
00:24:26 Jan, look at me.
00:24:28 When I learn to use this properly,
00:24:31 Jan, turn this way. That's right.
00:24:35 I want to see how...
00:24:36 What's the matter with you?
00:24:38 Jim comes back after a whole year...
00:24:40 and you look as if
00:24:55 An attempted suicide.
00:24:57 Janet Pawle, whose husband
00:25:00 - It's dreadful.
00:25:02 half out of their minds.
00:25:04 Milly Hughes, Rose Shepherd,
00:25:06 - Please don't go on.
00:25:08 Please don't keep on.
00:25:11 Don't you see what you're asking me
00:25:15 For heaven's sake, Vicar.
00:25:20 I married late in life.
00:25:22 When my wife told me
00:25:24 it was the happiest moment
00:25:26 Don't talk to me about ethics.
00:25:28 Don't you see that this is something
00:25:32 that this is the one moment
00:25:39 Very well.
00:25:40 Four of them have been to see me.
00:25:44 - Evelyn Harrington?
00:25:46 She was terribly frightened,
00:25:49 I know these girls.
00:25:52 When they tell me they've no way
00:25:55 I am compelled to believe them.
00:25:59 That means every woman in this village...
00:26:01 who is capable of childbirth
00:26:04 I can't believe it.
00:26:08 It's a matter of fact.
00:26:09 And there's something else.
00:26:11 All this seems to date
00:26:14 when Midwich was cut off
00:26:36 Who's next?
00:27:20 This is Anthea Zellaby's, Doctor.
00:27:26 Let's have a look at it.
00:27:39 It's one of the most perfectly formed
00:27:43 Yes, but is it normal?
00:27:47 It's more than normal.
00:27:50 It's a 7-month embryo after only 5 months.
00:28:05 It's all right. I've seen the x-rays,
00:28:09 Dr. Willers says it's perfect,
00:28:12 That should make us very happy.
00:28:14 It's going to be all right.
00:28:16 Is it? Is that what you believe?
00:28:22 You're tired, darling.
00:28:24 That's right. I'm tired.
00:28:27 And do you know why?
00:28:29 Because every night I lie awake and worry.
00:28:31 Now you don't have to worry anymore.
00:28:33 You don't really believe that.
00:28:35 - Dr. Willers says...
00:28:38 All right, so it's not a monster.
00:28:41 - But what does that tell me?
00:28:45 Whose baby? Yours?
00:28:48 Does it tell me what kind of life
00:28:51 What sort of brain it has?
00:28:53 Does it tell me that?
00:28:55 Stop it!
00:28:58 You must stop it.
00:29:02 We may not be any better off
00:29:04 but there is absolutely nothing
00:29:09 Maybe it's ours, maybe it isn't.
00:29:16 I'm afraid.
00:29:22 I'm so afraid.
00:31:31 I hope that none of them lives.
00:31:37 What a ridiculous way to behave.
00:31:44 We're still terribly busy,
00:31:47 that Mrs. Zellaby's fine.
00:31:49 - And the baby?
00:31:50 - In every respect?
00:31:52 - Got a cigarette?
00:31:54 Splendid. Unusually heavy, though.
00:31:58 Strange eyes.
00:32:01 All right. You can go in now.
00:32:04 - Got a cigarette?
00:32:09 How many others have been delivered
00:32:11 Anthea's my third.
00:32:15 What about their weight?
00:32:17 All slightly over 10 pounds.
00:32:20 All have got these strange eyes.
00:32:26 All that worrying. And now...
00:32:30 Gordon, have you seen him?
00:32:34 He's such a beautiful baby.
00:32:53 I do love you so.
00:33:01 He's probably jealous.
00:33:05 Now be quiet, Bruno.
00:33:21 Handsome, isn't he?
00:33:29 Take a look at this, Doctor.
00:33:36 Yes, it's flat on one side,
00:33:40 Somewhat in the shape
00:33:44 It belongs to my son, David.
00:33:47 Have you ever seen
00:33:52 - Have you noticed their nails?
00:33:56 Covering less of the upper surface
00:34:01 - What did the blood test show?
00:34:04 The blood circulating at present
00:34:08 So they're apparently normal children
00:34:11 Strange eyes, arresting, I would say...
00:34:14 an unknown hair group,
00:34:19 Whatever they are, their physical
00:34:23 In point of time, they're four months old...
00:34:25 but their development and capabilities
00:34:33 No, please, stop it.
00:34:41 Won't stop.
00:34:43 She won't stop!
00:34:59 What happened?
00:35:02 I was giving David his bottle.
00:35:07 I must have forgotten to test it.
00:35:09 It was too hot for him.
00:35:12 He spat it out.
00:35:14 He just seemed to glare at her.
00:35:16 Get my bag from the car.
00:35:18 Is that any reason to scald yourself?
00:35:54 This box is a product of Oriental ingenuity.
00:35:56 There are no visible means of opening it...
00:35:59 but if you do just what I've shown you,
00:36:02 Now see if you can do it.
00:36:17 That goes down.
00:36:28 Now you've got it.
00:36:33 Splendid.
00:36:35 It shows I was right to marry your sister.
00:36:42 Let's see if I can do this myself.
00:36:44 Now watch this.
00:36:48 And remember that he's only 1 year old.
00:36:52 Go on, open it, David.
00:36:56 Yes, there's something inside.
00:36:59 It's a chocolate.
00:37:18 Come along, it's time for your bath.
00:37:23 - This is fantastic.
00:37:29 Come with me.
00:37:31 It's all right,
00:37:34 I don't know, sir.
00:37:37 It's quite harmless.
00:38:06 But you didn't even show her how to do it.
00:38:08 That's exactly my point. I didn't have to.
00:38:11 If you demonstrate something
00:38:14 Now watch.
00:38:22 - I want that.
00:40:07 No, Nancy, leave them alone.
00:40:18 Ted Brower! Come inside this moment!
00:40:21 I've told you about playing
00:40:28 Where's my Philip?
00:40:31 It's his turn to study. He's at your home.
00:40:34 It's his home, too.
00:40:37 You are anxious for us to leave,
00:40:40 You have the same every week:
00:40:51 You wish we wouldn't come here
00:40:54 - I never said.
00:40:58 You've nothing to fear from us.
00:41:00 However, in future,
00:41:04 Goodbye, Mrs. Plumpton.
00:41:31 You ready, Gordon?
00:41:36 - Coffee?
00:41:42 Gordon, don't you think Anthea
00:41:45 what's being discussed?
00:41:47 There's no reason to alarm her
00:41:52 I haven't got
00:41:56 People, especially children,
00:41:59 What's important about them
00:42:02 And these children are bad
00:42:05 But they are children.
00:42:08 Children are not born with a sense
00:42:11 - With their intellect that should be simple.
00:42:16 What if you can't teach them?
00:42:17 What if you can't put
00:42:21 First we must try.
00:42:23 You're blinded by this vision of intellect.
00:42:26 Potentially greater.
00:42:27 Solving the riddle of the universe.
00:42:31 Anthea's son.
00:42:56 Where has Father gone?
00:42:58 To London.
00:42:59 You must hurry, David.
00:43:01 Why?
00:43:05 You'll be late.
00:43:06 No, I meant why has he gone to London?
00:43:09 He has some business there.
00:43:11 - What sort of business?
00:43:16 Don't you like me to help you, David?
00:43:18 Thank you. But I'm old enough
00:43:22 Father agrees with that.
00:43:26 Darling, your finger.
00:43:29 Let me do that.
00:43:32 It doesn't hurt. Please don't fuss.
00:43:34 It might turn septic.
00:43:37 There.
00:43:41 You said I must hurry.
00:43:43 Goodbye, Mother.
00:43:47 Goodbye, David.
00:43:49 And, gentlemen, as the Home Secretary
00:43:54 I can now inform you that Midwich...
00:43:57 is not the only colony of such children.
00:44:00 Here in a township of Northern Australia...
00:44:03 30 infants were born in one day.
00:44:05 But apparently, something went wrong.
00:44:07 All the children died
00:44:11 In an Eskimo community,
00:44:14 The community didn't take kindly to this.
00:44:17 Golden-haired babies born of
00:44:21 None survived.
00:44:23 In the communist world...
00:44:24 there were two time-outs
00:44:28 One at Irkutsk, here on the borders
00:44:32 A grim affair.
00:44:33 The men killed the children.
00:44:36 The second, in the mountains
00:44:39 All the children survived.
00:44:41 Our reports, though limited...
00:44:43 indicate that they are receiving
00:44:47 All these time-outs happened
00:44:52 This is now three years ago.
00:44:53 Have we established anything
00:44:56 There is very little to go on.
00:44:58 Zellaby, you must have some theory.
00:45:00 May I suggest that he may be
00:45:03 My position as a dubious father
00:45:07 - Is that what you think?
00:45:09 Well, let's hear
00:45:13 Dr. Carlisle?
00:45:15 I went into the question of mutation.
00:45:17 Once in a great many 1,000 years,
00:45:21 in animal or in vegetable life.
00:45:24 A new variation suddenly occurs
00:45:27 Would that explain,
00:45:29 cut off for periods of several hours?
00:45:31 No, sir. It would not.
00:45:33 Very well. Any other line of thought?
00:45:35 Yes. There is the possibility
00:45:40 May I put it this way:
00:45:43 Already, we can direct radar beams
00:45:49 Electrical impulses
00:45:51 And we are continually receiving impulses
00:45:56 And impulses are energy and matter.
00:45:58 We're aware of that, Professor Smith.
00:46:01 The Professor and I think alike.
00:46:03 What we can do, others, elsewhere
00:46:07 Exactly.
00:46:08 Let me get this straight.
00:46:10 You imply that these children
00:46:13 directed towards us
00:46:15 Of course that's just a theory.
00:46:19 They may be a case of mutation.
00:46:23 What we need is time to investigate.
00:46:26 - Time...
00:46:28 Gen. Leighton, you told me
00:46:31 What are they?
00:46:32 A series of casualties,
00:46:35 In each case, after some contact
00:46:38 Children get into fights all over the world.
00:46:40 These were not fights in the normal sense.
00:46:42 No direct physical violence was involved.
00:46:45 But two weeks ago,
00:46:47 was drowned in the Midwich pond
00:46:50 Children also have accidents.
00:46:52 Gordon, you've seen it for yourself.
00:46:55 The extraordinary power
00:46:57 And the sinister way they use it.
00:46:59 Extraordinary power, certainly, yes.
00:47:03 It's only a matter of time before
00:47:07 With fatal consequences.
00:47:09 So what do you suggest?
00:47:11 - That they be shut away.
00:47:14 Bluntly, yes.
00:47:15 You might as well
00:47:17 - This isn't a police state yet.
00:47:21 If you imprison them,
00:47:24 of the greatest opportunity it's ever had.
00:47:26 - Opportunity for what?
00:47:29 Gentlemen, a great deal has been said
00:47:33 But nothing about
00:47:35 What we are dealing with is a mass mind.
00:47:38 An entirely new development.
00:47:44 These children all want to dress alike...
00:47:46 and what one learns, they all learn.
00:47:50 They are one mind to the 12th power.
00:47:53 Just think what it would mean
00:47:56 We could leap forward in science
00:47:59 At the risk of being destroyed.
00:48:01 What cannot be understood
00:48:04 The age-old fear of the unknown?
00:48:06 On the other hand, Leighton has a point.
00:48:10 We're gathered here as advisors,
00:48:15 Now take a look at our world.
00:48:17 Have we made a good job of it?
00:48:19 Who's to say that these children
00:48:21 The answer to what?
00:48:23 To wars, to disease,
00:48:25 To all of the problems
00:48:28 If they don't make an end of us
00:48:30 We can't throw away this potential
00:48:33 - What is your suggestion?
00:48:36 Let them live together, under one roof,
00:48:40 My department couldn't accept
00:48:43 I personally will assume full responsibility.
00:48:46 Just give me a year.
00:48:47 - Mr. Home Secretary, I can't agree to this.
00:48:51 Surely that's not too much time
00:48:55 Just give me one year.
00:49:03 Very well.
00:49:04 I will officially recommend
00:49:07 Thank you, gentlemen.
00:49:17 That's as far as we shall go today.
00:49:20 Our next lecture will deal with structure.
00:49:23 And by the way, don't forget
00:49:26 Now...
00:49:32 Why do you smile? David?
00:49:35 You don't know how to put your question.
00:49:39 There isn't much point
00:49:43 The question I was going to put was...
00:49:45 By the way...
00:49:49 just how deep do you see into my mind?
00:49:51 Everything that's in the front of your mind.
00:49:54 The thought processes, the reasoning
00:49:59 We still have to master that. It will come.
00:50:03 That's frank. Thank you, David.
00:50:06 At least I still have some privacy.
00:50:09 The question I want to ask is this:
00:50:23 Then let me put it this way:
00:50:25 It is possible that life exists elsewhere,
00:50:35 We don't seem to be getting anywhere.
00:50:38 Why are you so nervous
00:50:41 You've very observant, Father.
00:50:44 That doesn't answer my question.
00:50:46 All right. Until recently,
00:50:50 - our control reach as far as a high aircraft.
00:50:58 What are you going to do
00:51:01 Father, we know
00:51:05 It would be better
00:51:08 We want to learn from you.
00:51:12 All right, that'll be all for today.
00:51:20 - David.
00:51:26 I'll walk home with you.
00:51:30 What I meant was that you don't have
00:51:35 I'd rather go.
00:51:36 Because the others
00:51:39 you feel you must, too. Is that the logic?
00:51:41 - Yes.
00:51:44 I don't really know why I should be.
00:51:46 Lots of parents send their children
00:51:49 and David will only be half a mile away.
00:51:51 I suppose there is nothing
00:51:55 No.
00:52:00 I think that's all.
00:52:05 Thank you.
00:52:30 I'm very sorry. It was all my fault.
00:52:34 You all right?
00:53:34 Mrs. Zellaby, I wish you'd be more specific
00:53:38 I know these things are difficult...
00:53:41 but it is our obligation to determine
00:53:46 I find it very difficult to remember.
00:53:54 You told Constable Gobby
00:53:59 Yes, that's right.
00:54:05 He got out of the car.
00:54:15 Then what did he do, Mrs. Zellaby?
00:54:22 Then he got back into the car...
00:54:28 and drove straight for the wall.
00:54:33 Thank you, Mrs. Zellaby.
00:54:37 It seems to me quite apparent
00:54:40 Edward Pawle, the deceased,
00:54:43 came close to striking and injuring a child.
00:54:46 Then, obviously in nervous shock,
00:54:52 I recommend that you bring in a verdict
00:54:55 Mrs. Zellaby, you know they killed him.
00:54:59 Ask them!
00:55:00 Just ask them!
00:55:04 Who is that man?
00:55:06 James Pawle, sir, brother of the deceased.
00:55:10 Then I shall overlook this outburst.
00:55:17 Can't you see now that Midwich
00:55:20 A force is building up.
00:55:23 We still haven't any proof.
00:55:24 How much more proof do you need?
00:55:28 I'm much more aware of the situation
00:55:39 Why not? Look what they did
00:55:41 - This won't bring him back.
00:55:44 You can't stop them with that, believe me.
00:55:46 They're not human.
00:55:49 Go home, Jim. I said, go home!
00:55:51 Leave here now before they get any closer.
00:55:58 All right, Mr. Zellaby.
00:58:02 All right, I'm responsible.
00:58:06 It's quite possible that, but for me,
00:58:09 I was over-optimistic.
00:58:10 There's a shindig in London.
00:58:13 Do you think I care a rap about that?
00:58:15 What beats me
00:58:17 They're shouting for action, now!
00:58:21 The village is very near panicky.
00:58:23 If only I could got inside the children's
00:58:27 since, quite obviously, they can read ours.
00:58:29 Doesn't that assume
00:58:32 As we understand them?
00:58:34 Alan, it's for you. Gen. Leighton.
00:58:37 Excuse me.
00:58:39 Thank you.
00:58:42 Yes, sir?
00:58:46 I see. Yes, sir.
00:58:50 It's as though their minds
00:58:55 a brick wall.
00:58:58 If only I could break through it.
00:59:00 Yes, sir, certainly.
00:59:02 Have I your permission to pass this on?
00:59:05 Right, thank you, sir. Goodbye.
00:59:14 I'm afraid there have been
00:59:17 The Russian army group
00:59:20 is equipped with a new type of gun.
00:59:22 It can project a shell up to 60 miles.
00:59:26 Apparently they tried it out yesterday...
00:59:29 on the village of Raminsk,
00:59:33 And the village of Raminsk
00:59:38 - You mean everyone there?
00:59:41 They gave no warning,
00:59:43 without the children learning
00:59:46 They'd developed more quickly than ours.
00:59:50 An attempt to move them
00:59:52 proved disastrous
00:59:56 I see.
00:59:58 So now I suppose we're going to blow
01:00:02 No.
01:00:04 But in view of recent events,
01:00:09 Leighton feels we ought to move,
01:00:12 Destroy them?
01:00:15 Well, they're meeting tonight
01:00:20 They want me in town.
01:00:42 What I say is, it's got to stop!
01:00:45 Yeah!
01:00:46 First Ed, then Jim Pawle.
01:00:48 The authorities don't do nothing.
01:00:50 Are we going to wait
01:00:53 - No!
01:00:55 Those that are with me, follow me!
01:03:52 David, come here.
01:03:55 I want to speak to you.
01:04:02 A man is dead.
01:04:04 We must protect ourselves.
01:04:06 - The law exists for your protection.
01:04:10 No use to you, is it?
01:04:12 If you think you'll be allowed
01:04:14 laws we don't subscribe to...
01:04:16 You're thinking of what happened
01:04:21 Yes, if you know about that
01:04:23 It will not happen to us.
01:04:26 - You little...
01:04:28 because we have to survive,
01:04:37 I don't think you'll go to London.
01:04:41 We are now the only ones left...
01:04:43 and you must learn
01:04:47 And that there's nothing you can do
01:04:51 You have to be taught to leave us alone.
01:04:56 Leave us alone.
01:05:21 He's out of danger now.
01:05:27 I've never seen as severe a case of shock
01:05:32 For a while, he was totally paralyzed.
01:05:35 Now his pupils are returning to normal...
01:05:41 his pulse is less rapid,
01:05:46 I've never seen anything like this before.
01:05:49 - It's time London sent in some troops.
01:05:53 Troops are not the answer.
01:05:56 The children would only make them
01:06:00 Tonight should be enough for all of us,
01:06:02 - What is the answer, then?
01:06:05 But no more people must be hurt.
01:06:09 Is there no limit to the power
01:06:12 No more than there is a limit to the mind.
01:06:21 - What do you want here?
01:06:33 Why do you do these dreadful things?
01:06:36 Wherever it is you come from,
01:06:41 Couldn't you learn to live with us
01:06:45 I want to speak to my father.
01:06:48 The effect seems to be wearing off.
01:06:51 Maj. Bernard will be all right.
01:06:54 What we did was only to warn him...
01:06:57 and all of you.
01:07:00 Leave us, Anthea, please.
01:07:14 You are not afraid of us.
01:07:17 No.
01:07:19 But I'm sorry, David,
01:07:22 If you didn't suffer from emotions,
01:07:26 - you could be as powerful as we are.
01:07:30 You'll never reach our minds.
01:07:32 I've come to say it's time for us to go.
01:07:36 Go where?
01:07:37 Away from here
01:07:41 - What will you do?
01:07:45 Soon we'll have reached the stage
01:07:48 In the meantime,
01:07:52 You must help us to leave.
01:07:57 How would you wish me to help you?
01:07:59 You'll arrange a method of getting us
01:08:01 without attracting attention.
01:08:04 You'll find a number of families
01:08:09 Yes, that'll take a bit of organizing.
01:08:13 Yes. And be sure no one finds out.
01:08:16 Otherwise, more people will be hurt.
01:08:20 You'll tell us the arrangements
01:08:22 when you come to give us
01:08:26 You won't be able to deceive us.
01:08:30 Yes, I know that.
01:08:31 Very well. Let us know
01:08:39 Good night, Father.
01:08:41 Good night, David.
01:08:54 A brick wall.
01:09:00 All right now?
01:09:02 Yes, sight's still a bit foggy,
01:09:08 I'll just go and tell Gordon.
01:09:14 You remember this?
01:09:17 You wore a dark blue dress.
01:09:19 Your hair was longer then.
01:09:22 It caught the moonlight.
01:09:33 - We're ready, Gordon.
01:09:38 I wish you'd...
01:09:39 It's 8:15, you'll be in London by 9:30.
01:09:42 I wish you'd let me stay here
01:09:45 You know that isn't possible.
01:09:48 And poor old Alan would go into
01:09:51 Nothing like feeling useless.
01:09:53 You're still going
01:09:56 Yes.
01:09:57 - Every Wednesday and Friday.
01:10:00 Especially after what happened.
01:10:01 I think I've found a way
01:10:04 If I'm right, we'll have no further trouble.
01:10:06 How?
01:10:07 I'll tell you if I succeed.
01:10:09 Now come on, I don't want you to be
01:10:14 Here now.
01:10:15 - This isn't like you.
01:10:18 It's silly of me, but I'm afraid of them...
01:10:22 and I'm afraid for you
01:10:25 They won't harm me.
01:10:27 In a strange way, they trust me.
01:10:30 Why, even David seems to accept me.
01:10:33 Divorced from my emotions, of course.
01:10:36 All right?
01:10:39 Off you go.
01:10:43 Alan, look after her for me.
01:10:47 I'll give you a ring in the morning.
01:10:49 Yes, in the morning.
01:12:20 A brick wall.
01:12:22 I have to think of a brick wall.
01:12:32 I'm sorry, old man. You can't come.
01:12:37 Look after your mistress.
01:13:15 - What did he mean?
01:13:17 Why should he ask you to take care of me?
01:13:21 I don't know.
01:13:40 What's the matter?
01:13:42 - Alan, I'm going back.
01:13:45 I'm going back.
01:13:56 Good evening, children.
01:13:58 Tonight we shall talk about
01:14:01 and how discoveries
01:14:04 completely changed our conception...
01:14:07 of the elements and the place of the atom.
01:14:10 You were to tell us tonight
01:14:15 The place of the atom.
01:14:17 It's 8:27.
01:14:20 Why are you nervous?
01:14:24 The arrangements, yes.
01:14:26 Yes, I'll tell you about those
01:14:30 But first of all, I want to finish my lesson.
01:14:33 The question of atomic energy.
01:14:38 You're not thinking of atomic energy.
01:14:42 You're thinking of...
01:14:47 a brick wall.
01:14:50 A brick wall.
01:14:53 I must think of a brick wall.
01:15:09 I must think of a brick wall.
01:15:13 It's almost 8.30.
01:15:18 Only a few seconds.
01:15:21 Brick wall.
01:17:14 English
