[CHILDREN PLAYING IN DISTANCE]

There's some more flowers, kids.
Go pick 'em.

Yeah!

That's a pretty one!

- I don't have one.
- Well, go look for one over there.

Oh, that's beautiful.
Let me look at that.

Let me look at that!

Now you can take them
home to your parents.

Don't they smell nice?

Hi.

Too much trouble to pick the mail
up off the floor, Geoffrey?

Hello?

Look at this flower.

All right! Attaway!

You know, I think I actually
found something rare.

What?

- This plant. I think it's a grex.
- A what?

G-R-E-X. That's when two
different species cross-pollinate

and produce a third
completely unique one.

And listen to this:

Epilobic, from the Greek epi:
Upon, and lobos: A pod.

Many of the species are dangerous
weeds and should be avoided.

Dangerous?

In the garden.

See? Look how quickly it roots.

Their characteristic rapid
and widespread growth pattern

was even observed in many of
the large war-torn cities of Europe.

Indeed, some of these plants
may thrive on devastated ground.

Why don't we go up to Vail
for the weekend?

Fly up Friday, hm?

Okay, maybe. Sure.

Geoffrey! I'm trying to read!

You're in a good mood.
[TELEVISION BEGINS BLARING]

Well, I got something to look
forward to tonight: Playoffs.

Geoffrey.

- What?
- I'm reading.

OK! I'll put the earphones on.
There, see? Happy?

Never mind.
I'll go downstairs.

[silverware clanking,
classical music playing]

[FRENCH MAN] Comment?
Qui est là? Who is it?

Department of Health.

Bonsoir, Monsieur Bennell.
How nice to see you.

What is that supposed to be?

It is cervelles en matelote.

In English, what would I be eating
if I ate that?

- Ah. Calves' brains in red wine.
- Red wine and what else?

Mais, c'est impossible.

It's impossible.
It's a secret, Mr Bennell.

You don't have any secrets
from the Department of Health, Henri.

A good young Burgundy, brown stock,

thyme, parsley... just a sprig.

Capers... a fresh bay leaf,
and garlic.

- That's all?
- Oui. Yes.

- What is that?
- A caper.

No.

Do you presume to tell us
what is in this stock?

- It's a rat turd.
- A what?

A rat turd.

- A caper!
- A rat turd.

A caper!

If it's a caper,

eat it.

I'm gonna bring you up
for permit revocation, Henri.

You're charging way too much
to be serving crap like that in here.

But, Monsieur, it is an accident.
You know how careful we are.

[RADIO NEWS PLAYS QUIETLY]

[SIRENS GROW CLOSER]

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

- [MATTHEW] Elizabeth?
- Yes.

- Wake you up?
- No. Hi, Matthew.

- They busted the window of my car.
- Oh, no!

They threw a bottle of wine at it.
Not even good wine.

The Warriors won so I guess
your household's pretty happy.

Yes.

- What are you doing?
- Oh, nothing.

If you go to sleep now you can get up
early in the morning, couldn't you?

Oh, Matthew...

If you can come in at 7.30,

you can run the tests and you can get
the stuff started before 8 o'clock.

Stop! Matthew... Matthew, stop.
I'm not coming in before 8 o'clock

- in the morning, no!
- I gotta force the abatement hearing.

Wednesday's their only slot
that they've got free.

No, Matthew, stop!

I will not be there before eight!

Did you know that I nominated you for
Civil Servant of the Year award?

It's true. I think you'll win.

Okay, okay, okay. I'll be in at 7:30.
I'll run a salmonella test for you.

Thank you.
See you in the morning.

Good night.
I'll see you in the morning.

- Bye.
- Bye.

[ALARM BUZZING]

Geoffrey, my God!
How long have you been up?

Not long.

What are you doing?

Geoffrey?

Geoffrey?

Geoffrey?

[CLOCK CHIMES]

[CHURCH BELLS CHIME]

[DISTANT SCREAMS]

[SOFT BANJO MUSIC GROWS CLOSER]

[MAN SINGS FOLK SONG]

I wanna throw the book
at this son of a bitch.

Those scallops are nothing
but cut-up pieces of skate.

I'm sorry.
I can start the tests right away.

No, it's okay, Boccardo's doing it.

And there's something
wrong with the baked potato.

Either the sour cream is phony,
or the chives, or the butter.

I'm really sorry, Matthew.
I got up on time. It was Geoffrey.

What did the mad dentist
get up to this time?

I don't know.
He was just weird.

He's crazy.
All dentists are crazy.

- Are you late?
- No.

He was weird not in
the way he usually is.

Something was different.

That can only be an improvement.

Well, it's not.
It's got me really nervous.

Tell him to shape up or get out.

- It's his house.
- Make him an offer.

Let me show you something
that'll cheer you up.

What?

Ever seen one of these up close?

- What is it?
- What does it look like?

- A caper?
- A caper?

What is it?

It's a rat turd,
but the sauce was delicious.

I got you a rat.

- Did you find one?
- I've got it. It was a biggie.

Okay, we'll get a declaration
of unsanitary on him.

- I'll talk to you later, okay?
- Okay.

- What can I do?
- Nothing. Don't worry. Go on.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, come on. Tell me what I've done.
I don't even know...

[GEOFFREY] I understand today's plan.

Yes, something's come up, Elizabeth.
I have to go right back out again.

Now? Weren't we going to the game?

The Warriors. I know.
I gave the tickets to a patient.

You're not gonna see tonight's game?

No choice.

Geoffrey, what is the matter with you?
I know something's wrong.

I'm fine.
I just have to go to a meeting.

Meeting? What kind of a meeting?

Elizabeth, I don't think I have to
justify my every move to you.

Geoffrey, this isn't like you.

Please, come on.
I just want it to be nice...

Elizabeth, what's the matter with you?

Nothing.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Come in!

Hi.

How you doing?

You think it's true that if you
think you're losing your mind,

then you're not?

Well, I hope so.

I know this is gonna sound insane.

What?

Geoffrey is not Geoffrey.

- How do you know?
- I know.

I mean, on the outside
Geoffrey is still Geoffrey,

but on the inside I can tell
there is something different.

Something is missing.

- What?
- Emotion, feelings.

He's just not the same person.

Really, you know what I mean?
I know it sounds crazy.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I think.
Have you eaten?

- I'm not hungry.
- Have a piece of celery.

- I'm not...
- Eat, eat, eat.

We can eat outside.
It's a beautiful night.

Take that meat there, will you?
Get the cleaver and chop it up.

And hand me some of the ginger,
the stuff that's chopped up there.

You wanna know something else?
This is really weird.

I went to see his sister Nora
to talk to her about it.

But I couldn't.
I stopped myself.

She changed, too?

- Do you think I'm crazy?
- No.

Do you wanna go see
my friend David Kibner?

- The psychiatrist?
- Not like that.

I mean, if you talk to him he
would put things into perspective.

- I'm not crazy.
- No, no, no. I'm serious.

He would eliminate a lot of things.

He would eliminate whether
Geoffrey was having an affair,

whether he'd become gay,

whether he had a social disease,

whether he had become a Republican.

All the alternatives, all the things
that could have happened to him

to have made you feel he had changed.
Something that he was doing.

Do you know what I mean?
You wanna go see him?

You think I'm nuts.

No, I don't think you're crazy.

Can you still do
the thing with your eyes?

If you're not crazy,
you can do that thing with your eyes.

You're not crazy.

This is delicious.

You're a great cook.

What time is Geoffrey getting back?

He said not to wait up for him.

Do you want some more wine?

- Morning!
- Hello.

One, two... Mrs. Teng,
this one's got a coffee stain on it.

Here.

That's not coffee.

That is coffee.
I put it there myself.

Maybe not come out.

You doctor, right?

Me? No. Health Department.
Civil servant.

Do you need a doctor?

My wife... sick.

- What's wrong with her?
- She wrong.

- She's not right?
- That not my wife.

You mean, she's...?

No, no. Different.

That not my wife!

[MAN SINGING FOLK SONG
AND PLAYING BANJO]

[DOG BARKING]

How you doing, Harry?

Hey, pooch.
How you doing, boy?

[PHONE RINGS]

[PHONE RINGING]

Where you been?
You've been driving me crazy.

I've been looking all over for you.

What's the matter with you?

You all right?

Talk to me, Elizabeth.

[SOBBING]

I keep seeing these people...

all recognizing each other.

Something was passing
between them all.

Some secret.

It's a conspiracy.
I know it.

There can't be a conspiracy.

Matthew, I'm telling you,
something's going on here.

Something that scares me.

I tried to see Geoffrey today,
to talk to him.

He's always in his office
in the morning.

Geoffrey?

It really was weird.

Geoffrey was meeting
all sorts of strange people.

Things were being passed between them.

And none of them
were people you knew?

I didn't know any of them.

Maybe they were
patients of Geoffrey's.

Oh, no, no, Matthew.
I know they weren't.

I followed him all day from
one end of town to the other,

and everywhere he went he had
these meetings with strange people.

I felt so stupid
sneaking around spying on him,

but I can't talk to him.
What can I do?

Okay, well, Kibner will
be able to explain something.

I don't need a psychiatrist.

Just forget that he's a psychiatrist.

Just think of him as
a very intelligent man,

which is what he is.

It's a book party. He's a celebrity.

He's very famous
and you will really like him

if you just forget that
you think he's a psychiatrist.

I don't know... I don't know.

Matthew,
I've lived in this city all my life,

but somehow today
I felt everything had changed.

People were different.
Not just Geoffrey, but everybody.

Yesterday it all seemed normal.

Today everything seemed the same,
but it wasn't.

It was a nightmare.

It really became frightening.

It was like the whole city
had changed overnight.

Did I ever tell you the one
about the English Camel Corps? Did I?

They're trapped in the desert,
in the Sahara desert.

They've been surrounded
by Rommel for 40 days

and they've run out of food.

And the captain comes
and makes an announcement to the men.

And he says,

Men, I have some good news for you
and some bad news for you.

- And one of the men says...
- Wait. You have told me this one.

Oh.
[BOTH LAUGH]

Can I tell it to you again?

Look out!

Oh, my God! Lock the door!

- They're coming!
- Maybe we should help him.

Help! Help! They're coming.
They're coming. Listen to me!

- He's smashed out of his skull.
- He's terrified.

You're next. Please! Please!
You're next. We're in danger!

Please listen to me...
Something terrible!

Please. You're next!
Here they are. They're already here!

[DISTANT SHRIEK]
Help! You're next!

- They're coming. They're coming...
- He must have done something.

[CAR HORN BLOWS]
[LOUD THUD, SCREECHING TIRES]

[MATTHEW GASPS]

[SIRENS GROW CLOSER]
The policeman will help.

Oh my God.

That poor man.
What was he talking about?

I'll phone a witness report in
when I get to the bookstore.

Matthew, Matthew,
thank God you're finally here!

These people are driving me nuts.

- Are we gonna have dinner later?
- No, no, I can't.

Do you know where
there's a telephone?

There's a telephone
right around the corner.

- Elizabeth Driscoll, Jack Bellicec.
- This is the Elizabeth?

The book is awful.
Kibner's book is awful.

His ideas are garbage.
Kibner's ideas are pure garbage.

How can you say that
about a man like Kibner?

I'm not saying it about
a man like Kibner.

I'm saying it about Kibner.

He dashes one of these
things off every six months.

It takes me six months
to write one line sometimes.

Why?

'Cause I pick each
word individually, that's why.

- What's so hot about that?
- I wasn't even talking to you, was I?

On the corner of Leavenworth and...

- Turk.
- Turk? Turk.

Is that him?

Yes.

Yes!

- Yes.
- What's so hot about that?

What's so hot about that?
I don't know...

You must have a report on it 'cause
there was a motorcycle officer there

- and an ambulance on the way.
- They follow me.

They don't understand
what I'm saying.

Ignore them.

You don't have to
prove yourself to anybody.

- That's easy for you to say.
- Of course I saw it.

- The man was running down the street.
- It's romantic, sentimental,

- He landed on my car.
- Post-industrial nonsense.

Just a second.
I am talking to the police.

- No, he was bleeding on the road.
- What seems to be the trouble, officer?

Hello? Yeah.

Don't ever give your name to cops.

Leavenworth and Turk. I'll hold.

[WOMAN] But it isn't!
He isn't my husband!

It's someone who looks like him.
He's an impostor!

Now, Katherine, he's your husband.
You know him and I know him.

I had to wait until today 'cause he
has a scar on the back of his neck

and when his hair is long
you can't see it.

- He went to have a haircut today...
- And the scar was gone.

No! It's still there!

Of course it's still there.
What did you expect? He's still Ted.

- Excuse me, can I say one thing?
- Please! He's still your husband Ted.

- I know something...
- Katherine?

- Could I say one thing?
- Katherine!

Just a minute.

- Katherine.
- Just give me a minute, will you?

Will you trust me?

Will you please trust me? Will you?

Officer, I work for the county.
This is a public-spirited gesture.

I will give you my name
if you will give me yours.

Kibner's trying to change
people to fit the world.

I'm trying to change
the world to fit people.

- We'll talk about this in a second.
- Where's Homer? Where's Kazantzakis?

- Where's Jack London?
- Where's Elizabeth?

- I'm afraid!
- I understand, I know,

and I understand.
Let me have your hand.

- Katherine, just trust me.
- Isn't he wonderful?

Come on.

There. That's not so bad, is it?
Who's this behind me?

- It's Ted.
- That's right.

Hold on. Come on, just hold on.

Hold on. Just relax now.

- You gonna be all right? Feel better?
- Yeah. Yes.

- You wanna go home now?
- Yes.

- Will you come and see me tomorrow?
- Please... tomorrow.

Tomorrow we'll all talk.
Okay? The three of us?

[TED] Okay,
but I better take her home.

[KIBNER] Yes. It's okay.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.

- All right?
- Okay.

Alright, thank you.

I never heard anything
like it in my life.

They don't wanna hear
about the accident.

[JACK] Right, of course.
T's a big conspiracy.

- What's a conspiracy?
- Everything.

Excuse me.

I understand
what you're trying to say.

My name is Elizabeth Driscoll,
the Public Health Department. Call me.

Katherine! Come on, Katherine.

That woman's husband
is not her husband.

I saw him today with Geoffrey.
He's one of them.

And she knows about it
and nobody's helping her.

That's not true.
Somebody's helping her.

I'm glad you heard that.
David, come here. Elizabeth.

I've been hearing it all week.
It's getting very popular.

- What's getting popular?
- I was trying to tell you

- that I also know somebody...
- Know somebody who's changed.

- Yes.
- Can we go outside and talk about it?

Listen, there's a lady up top,
red hair, blue dress.

She's interested in your work.

I've heard the same damn story
this week from six patients.

People are changing,
they're becoming less human.

It's happening all around us.

That's not what we're talking about.

This has nothing to do with
the man that I live with.

It has everything to do with it.
Don't you see?

People are stepping in and out
of relationships too fast

because they don't
want the responsibility.

That's why marriages
are going to hell.

The whole family unit is shot to hell.

David, you're not listening
to what she's saying.

Matthew, please stay out of this.

You see, that's the point.

I'm listening to you,
but he doesn't think I am. Why?

Because he doesn't expect me
to bother enough, or to care.

Bellicec, I'm telling you for
the last time I want you to stop!

- Stand still, be quiet, and shut up!
- Jack!

How did you feel
about what I just did?

Why in the store? He's a nut.

How did you feel?

You were probably shocked.

You wanted to shut your feelings off,
withdraw,

maybe make believe
it wasn't happening

because then you don't
have to deal with it.

I want to deal with that poor woman
in the bookstore.

Why?

Do you identify with her?

Yes.

Okay.

Come on.

Suppose I were to tell you
that Katherine is trying

to escape from a relationship.

He's treating her-

What's this treatment have to do
with pushing me against a wall?

- She's upset.
- She looks fine to me.

- She is upset, Jack.
- Well, you look upset to me now.

- Do me a favour, will ya?
- I'll do any favour you want.

- Go home and I'll call you later.
- Go home?

Just go home and
leave us alone for a little bit.

- Okay?
- Okay. Okay.

Thank you.

You're jumping
to a very bizarre conclusion:

That this man you live with
has been replaced by somebody else.

Isn't it more likely that you
want to believe that he's changed

because you're really looking
for an excuse to get out?

I don't know.

Will you think about it, please,

before you make a move?

Before you jump and
destroy something you have. Will you?

Please?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I just gave her
a psychological Band-Aid, Matthew.

I should talk to her some more.

You could bring her by my office
tomorrow around four.

What's the matter with her?

It's like there's some kind of
hallucinatory flu going around.

People seem to
get over it in a day or two.

All I can do is treat the symptoms.

She's gonna be okay?

A good night's sleep wouldn't hurt.

- Is it contagious?
- Oh, Matthew!

- Take her home to her boyfriend.
- That wasn't what I was thinking.

I was just wondering whether the
Health Department should look at it.

Who knows? I don't know.

I wish I did.

Okay.

Take her home, Matthew.

[soft classical music]

Ah, Jack.
How was the book party?

Is that Kibner's new book?

Didn't get to read your poetry?

I'm sorry, Jack.

Good evening. Bellicec Baths.

Yes, we recommend the 15-minute soak
in Calistoga volcanic ash,

that's followed by
an Aqua-Surge whirlpool dip.

[loud classical music]

Hey, can you help me outta here?

Bellicec!

I'm talking to you. Give me a hand.

Help me outta this thing.

Stan...

Every week we go through this.

- Why can't you be more cooperative?
- Get me a towel.

You are really gonna get hurt
one of these days.

Give me another towel, would you?

Come on.

Nancy, shut the music off.

It's for the plants, Stan.

Screw the plants.
I hate the music.

It's wonderful for my plants.
They just love it.

Plants have feelings, you know,
just like people.

It's fascinating. This type of music
stimulates the growth of the plants.

They've done tons
of experiments on it.

- Come on, Nancy. Turn the music off.
- Relax.

You're not gonna
enjoy this if you don't.

Oh! Mr Gianni, what are you doing here?

This is must reading, Mrs Bellicec.

Worlds In Collision by Velikovsky.

Oh, yes. I've read that many times.
Have you read Star Maker

by Olaf Stapledon?
That's must reading, too.

- Well, it's awfully late, Mr. Gianni.
- You're so smart.

Oh, Mr Gianni,

you've been sitting
in that mud too long.

It is possible to overdo it, you know.

Oh, by the way, thank you for
that plant you gave me last time.

[EERIE HISSING AND RUSTLING]

[DISTANT CAR ALARM]

I'll walk you inside.

You don't have to.

Geoffrey?

That was sweet of him.

Geoffrey?

You all right?

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Thank you, Matthew.
You've really made me feel better.

And I'm gonna think about
what your friend Kibner said.

Okay.

Thanks for helping.
Good night.

See you.

Jack?

Honey, where are ya?

I don't wanna disturb you
if you're thinking,

but I could sure do
with some Chinese food.

I haven't eaten all day. Oh...

Oh, Jack, you're gonna suffocate.

[SCREAMS]

- My nose
- Jack!

Let me out! Let me out!

My nose is bleeding.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Who is it?

Who is it?

[DISTANT SIRENS]

It's Matthew.

- Come on in.
- What happened?

Back here.

Matthew, I called
you here as a friend.

Oh, Jack...

Do you report certain things
when you run into them

like a contagious disease or a
dead body in a place of business?

- Jack would you let him look at it?
- You found a body?

- No, not necessarily...
- I thought it was Jack.

Is that him?

Yeah, under there.

- What kind of joke is this?
- It's no joke.

What is it?

- What the hell is it?!
- Just keep calm, Nancy.

Is it contagious?

- Did any of your customers see this?
- No.

It'd ruin us.
It's all we'd need.

- Look, I'm calling the police.
- No, don't do that.

- Why?
- Nancy, don't.

Because I think Jack is right.

It's not immature exactly.

He's got an adult face.

It's a monster.
It's got hair all over it.

It's vague.

Nose, lips, hair.

Hands, everything,
but it's got no detail, no character.

It's unformed.

Jack, don't touch it.
You don't know where it's been.

No respiration.

It's got no fingerprints.

No fingerprints?

Like a foetus.

You just said it was an adult.

I said it was an adult
because it was tall.

- How tall are you, Jack?
- Six foot four.

- How much do you weigh?
- 170.

- Why?
- Oh, no.

No, Matthew.

Oh, Jack!

- Who are you calling?
- Elizabeth.

Why?

Why are you calling Elizabeth?

- Matthew...
- Why?

[PHONE RINGS]

[MATTHEW] Hello?

Elizabeth? Can you hear me?
It's Matthew, Elizabeth. Hello?

Elizabeth, what's the matter?

Elizabeth, can you hear me?

Who is this?

Hello?
Elizabeth?

- Where are you going?
- A friend of mine is in trouble.

- What are we to do?
- Phone David Kibner.

Ask him to meet me here right away.
There's his number.

- What's the matter?
- I'm tired.

Stand up.

- Stand up! Now walk around!
- Honey, I'm dry! I'm very dry.

I'll get you something to drink.
Just don't fall asleep.

[POLICE SIREN PASSES]

[RADIO CHATTER]

- Here, sweetie.
- Thanks, sweetie.

Dr. Kibner will be here soon.

Kibner, Kibner, Kibner, Kibner.

I'm gonna lie down and think, honey.

I'm just gonna think.

Jack!

Jack! Jack!

Jack, wake up! Its eyes!

Oh, Jack.
It opened its eyes.

See?

Hon?

Jack...

- [GASPS]
- Oh, Jack!

[SCREAMS]

[BRAKES SCREECH]

[LOCK RATTLES]

[KNOCKS]

Elizabeth!

[SOFT SIGH]

Elizabeth.

Wake up.

Wake up!

[GEOFFREY SHRIEKS]

I can't find anything in here
that looks like a body.

- No body?
- What are you talking about?

- Did you check the last...
- I looked everywhere.

Hey! Did you... Hey!

Did you check the
last booth on the left?

There's no body there.

It's got to be in here!

- Did it have a pulse, a heartbeat?
- It opened its eyes.

- You actually saw that?
- I saw its nose bleed.

It had white hair
that touched my hand.

There's something in here.

Nancy lost an old guy in here once.
He had a heart attack and sank.

Jack...

Face it, Bellicec.

You've got some friends
who enjoy playing practical jokes.

I don't have any friends, Dr. Kibner.

Then some enemies.

Look.

Who opened this up?

Wait a second, wait a second.
Who is it?

- Matthew, the body's gone.
- Somebody's took it.

- No. Did you see it?
- There was nothing here to see.

Who are you waking up now, Matthew?

Police? I would like to report a body.

Take her to my place fast.

Don't let anybody in
until we get back there.

[Cop]: Lieutenant, these are the
fellas that reported the body.

[Cop #2]: You both saw it?

[MATTHEW] No, I'm the only one.
Matthew Bennell.

Mr. Bennell, why don't you
show me where you saw it?

It's right up here.

Where's Elizabeth?

- Where?
- There.

- It's Elizabeth's double.
- Where, Matthew?

Lots of leaves and a pot.

It was there, David.
I swear to God it was there!

Officer, there was a body in there.

It was a duplicate
of Elizabeth Driscoll,

- and it's been taken.
- The missing woman?

- She's not missing.
- Where is she?

- She's okay. She's at Matthew's.
- Don't tell him where she is.

- Then there is no missing body.
- That's right.

There is a missing body
and he's taken it away!

No, he took Elizabeth.

- You took Elizabeth Driscoll away?
- Yes!

You broke in here.

I had to because
she was not safe here.

So then you took
Elizabeth Driscoll out of here.

No! I took her from there.
Her other body was in here...

Please stop.
Matthew, that's enough! Please stop!

Lieutenant,
my name is Dr. David Kibner.

- Ah, the psychiatrist.
- That's right.

My wife reads your books.
It's changed her life.

- I'm glad. It sounds complicated...
- David...

But my friend has had some
difficult emotional experiences

during the last couple of days.

But I think this is something
we can work out amongst ourselves.

All right, I'll leave
this part of it with you.

I appreciate it.

You can't accomplish anything here.
We gotta get outside.

[all arguing]

I think you might wanna consider
filing an unlawful entry

against Mr Bennell.

I know what you're saying,
I believe you, but outside...

No, I'll take Dr. Kibner's word
that Elizabeth is all right.

- Fine, then let's go.
- Okay.

Will Elizabeth be coming home?

No.

I have to pick up some of her clothes.

All right.

[SIRENS]

All right, let's back up
and go through it once more,

step by step.

You all thought you saw a body
at the baths.

You thought it was dead.
You didn't know what it was.

You touched it.
All of you touched it.

- Nancy, you saw it open its eyes.
- It looked right at me.

- And Bellicec, you saw its eyes open.
- No, I saw its nose bleed.

If you saw its nose bleed,
and Nancy saw its eyes open,

he must have been alive.

No, David.
What you're doing wrong...

You're looking at it as
if it was human. It was not human.

- Matthew, what else would it be?
- It was something, but not human.

- It had white hair on it.
- It was growing.

The one at Jack's place was...

It was like Jack, but not as developed
as the one at Elizabeth's place.

It had tendrils on it.

The one at Elizabeth's place
was duplicating her.

If Matthew hadn't taken me
out of there,

the same thing that's happened
to Geoffrey would have happened to me.

Elizabeth, would you please tell me,
in your opinion,

exactly what is happening?

People are being duplicated.

And once it's happened to you,
you're part of this thing.

It almost happened to me!

Look,

the reason you don't believe Elizabeth
is because the other body disappeared.

Now, it disappeared
because Geoffrey took it.

Well, then what happened
to my other body, then?

Oh, people,
will you please listen to yourselves?

Will you please listen
to what you are saying?

Look, I can deal with
a body being moved.

I can even deal with
a body getting up and leaving,

but when you start talking about
his other body, her other body,

people being duplicated,

will you listen to how that sounds?

Don't you think we know
how insane this sounds?

But what do you think we're doing?

Do you think we're making it up?

Do you believe that
my body looked like me

and do you believe that
her body looked like her?

[ELIZABETH] Do you think
we've all gone crazy?

You are trying to make us believe
that we are seeing things.

Why are you trying to do that?

All I'm trying to do is help.

You call me in the middle of the night

and you ask me to
come here and help.

That's all I'm trying to do.

Well, I'm sorry if we woke you up
in the middle of the night!

If we inconvenienced you,
I guess we owe you an apology.

I mean, I mean...
I guess that's a rotten thing to do!

You've upset my wife, too.

David, I don't know what it is
or where it comes from,

but it was there and
I saw it and I'm gonna fight it.

Matthew, my friend... I believe you.

I've known you too long
not to believe you.

What do you wanna do?

Well, if I could get official support,

I'd institute the same kind
of emergency procedures

that we use for a cholera epidemic
or legionnaires' disease.

- What do you want me to do?
- Well, I can handle the Health Department.

But if panic breaks out,
we'll need the police and the Guard,

and that means the Mayor and...

The Mayor's a patient of yours,
isn't he?

How did you know that?

What do you want me to do?

Would you ask him
to accept my telephone call?

I'll call him in a hour.
I'll be at my office.

If you have any other ideas
get in touch.

[DISTANT CAR ALARM]

Call me.

Thank you.

The sooner the better.

This smells lovely.

- Now I want you to listen to me.
- I am listening to you, Nancy.

I am not seeing things.
I know I saw what I saw

and I know it was
turning into you, Jack.

Alright, now that body we found...

That flower.
Where did you get that?

- In the vase with the others.
- Just stuck in there?

- Yeah. Why?
- Geoffrey gave me one last night.

So what?

There was a customer, Mr Gianni.
He brought one of those to the baths.

So what?

- Put it down, Jack.
- It's a pod with a flower on it.

I could not find that flower
in any of the books I looked in.

Jack, put it down.

- It's a pink flower, honey.
- It could be toxic.

Look, I have seen
these flowers all over.

They're growing like parasites
on other plants. All of a sudden...

- Where are they coming from?
- Outer space.

- They're not from outer space.
- Why not, Jack?

- They're not from outer space, Nancy.
- Why?!

What are you talking about?
A space flower?

Why not a space flower?
Why do we always expect metal ships?

I've never expected metal ships.

Look, there's bound to be other ways
they can get in our system.

That's right, they could be
getting into us through touch

or through their fragrance.

We would never even notice it,
not from the impurities we have.

I mean, we eat junk
and we breathe junk.

I don't know where
they're coming from,

but I know I feel as though
I've been poisoned today.

We've gotta take those flowers in
and have them analysed.

This is the only thing we know.
There's something here.

[NANCY] They could start
getting into our systems

and screwing up our genes like DNA,
recombining us, change us.

Oh, of course!

This is the same way
those rocket ships landed

thousands of years ago,

so those spacemen could mate with
monkeys and create the human race.

It's happening now!

[WOMAN] Hello,
who do you wish to speak to?

David Kibner.

He's not in right now.
He'll be back later this afternoon.

Well could you leave
a message for him, please?

Would you say Matthew Bennell?
B-E-N-N-E-L-L.

- And your number, please?
- No, he's got my number. Thank you.

[DIALLING]

[DIAL TONE]

James Grala, Deputy City Attorney.
Can I help you?

Yes, my name is Matthew Bennell.

B-E-N-N-E-L-L.
I'm a deputy public health inspector.

Is this another
call about impostors?

Yes.

- We're the first agency you called?
- Yes.

Good. Listen, Mr. Bennell,
we don't wanna create a panic.

No one in my department knows.

Look, Mr. Bennell, I'm gonna ask
you to stay by your phone for a while.

I'll have somebody call you back
and take down all you know.

All right, thank you.

This is a busy lab, Elizabeth.
We're not supposed to test flowers.

They go to the Depart of Agriculture.

I know where they go!

I think this is our problem.
I think it is affecting people.

How?

Look, Allen, I have already said
that I'm gonna do all the testing.

You don't have to lift a finger.
Can I?

You've been consistently late,
Elizabeth,

and you're behind in your work,

so I'll do the tests for you.

Thank you.

- It'll take 48 hours.
- Allen, 24.

I can't understand why you've become
so emotional about a little flower.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello.

- Mr. Bennell?
- Yes.

- You're with the Health Department?
- Yes.

This is Ted Jessop,
the Mayor's special assistant.

You've come across something
strange in the last few days?

Yes.

I'd like to suggest that
we meet in Union Square.

- We can't talk over the phone.
- Right away.

So you'll meet me here again tomorrow,
right, Mr. Bennell?

Yeah.

Don't say a word to anyone.
Keep it quiet.

Whatever you say.

- Please deposit 15 cents.
- Operator, I put in a quarter...

[DIAL TONE]

This is Judy Hinkell,
the Mayor's special assistant.

Yes. My name is Matthew Bennell.

The Mayor's in conference right now,
but he wants you to know that

Dr. Kibner called him personally
to express his concern as well.

And Mr. Bennell,

we're asking for your
discretion from now on

because this whole thing
might be abating.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

- Matthew Bennell?
- Yes.

I'm Michaels. I'm with the
Federal Preparedness Agency.

Now these reports of strange,
unexplained, diseased bodies.

My understanding is that you
haven't actually analysed anything

- and you have no tissue samples.
- No, I'm...

Mr. Bennell, it does seem you're
just winging your conclusions.

Please keep an open mind.

I had no intention at all of...

Don't mention to anyone
about duplicate bodies.

I was gonna treat it...

Excuse me, my other phone is ringing.
[DIAL TONE]

[MATTHEW] Yes?

[WOMAN] This is serious business,
Mr. Bennell.

Is this just a case of paranoia,
Mr. Bennell?

No, no, no.

[MAN] Know what mass hysteria
looks like, Mr. Bennell?

- We don't want to create a panic.
- We have a primary authority.

Be cautious.

You sound distressed.

- I think the horizon looks bright.
- People are returning to normal.

No, no.
She all right.

She better now.
Much better now.

Did your husband
ask you to come here?

No, no.

I want everybody to see
that I'm back to myself again.

No, wait. Please.

I'll see you soon, I hope.

[QUIET RADIO STATIC AND TUNING SOUNDS]

Matthew, I'm not getting a thing here.

Where is the...
I'm not getting any news here.

Isn't there a 24-hour news?

I would think you'd have very
good reception up here on the hill.

There's a repair truck out here.

Could that have
anything to do with it?

[RADIO CLICKS OFF]

She just needs something
to help her sleep.

Tomorrow she'll be good as new.

I would suggest you
get some sleep, too.

You've done everything
you possibly can.

Can I give the Bellicecs a ride?

No, I'm not going back there.

- We'll just get a motel.
- You can stay here.

Thank you.

Come on.

I appreciate everything you've done,
David. Thank you.

- Get some sleep.
- Sure. See you.

You alright?

Hang up, Matthew.

- Hang up.

- I didn't tell them my name!
- They're all a part of it.

They're all pods, all of them.

- Who are you calling?
- Washington.

The CIA? The FBI?
They're pods already.

I've got a friend in
the Justice Department.

I can dial direct.

- What are you gonna tell him?
- Oh, my God!

They grow out of those pods!

They cut our power.

[police radio chatter]

Matthew,
they're barricading the street.

No!

- What number are you calling from?
- Operator? I was dialling direct.

I'll try the number for you,
Mr. Bennell.

- They're coming up here.
- Hang up, Matthew.

Matthew, do you have a gun?

No.

- What are we gonna do?
- Out the back door.

Hurry up! Jack!

All with red city families.

Right out in the open.

That's how they do it.

That's how they spread it.
All those people are changed.

Unit Seven, special assistance.

Could we have you over
by the Health Department immediately?

Matthew,
we'll never be able to stop them!

Yes, we will.

We can't!
Look, they control the whole city.

We'll find a way somehow.

Oh, Matthew, I can't go on!

I wanna go to sleep.
I can't stay awake any more.

You have to.

You have to stay awake.

[PHONE RINGS]

Would somebody in transportation
report to the Grove Street terminal?

Yup. Boccardo's pills.

He eats these like candy...

Take some.

- How many are you supposed to take?
- It says Take one.

Take five.

[PHONE RINGS]

They know we're here.

Jack, my God!

No.

It would have been a lot easier
if we'd just gone to sleep last night.

David, no!

- Oh, my God! No! No! Matthew!
- Don't touch her!

David, don't let them touch her!
Don't let them touch her!

Don't let them touch her.

- What are you gonna do?
- We'll leave the city!

- Please, Geoffrey.
- David, please, let us go.

- Let us leave the city!
- You don't have to leave the city.

Nothing changes.

You can have the same life,
the same clothes, the same car.

But what happens to us?

You'll be born again
into an untroubled world,

free of anxiety, fear...

- Wait.
- Hate.

- David, you're killing us.
- That's not true. David's right.

Your minds and memories will
be totally absorbed.

Everything remains intact.

You've never agreed with him
in your life before!

What are you talking about?

What are you...

David, you're killing me.

David.

David!

What is this supposed to do?

Just a mild sedative
to help you sleep.

- I hate you.
- We don't hate you.

There's no need for hate now...
or love.

I love you, Matthew.

There are people
who will fight you, David.

They'll stop you.

In an hour... you won't want them to.

Don't be trapped by old concepts...

Matthew.

You're evolving into a new life form.

Come and watch.

We came here from a dying world.

We drift through the universe
from planet to planet,

pushed on by the solar winds.

We adapt... and we survive.

- The function of life is survival.
- Elizabeth!

Open the freezer, quick.

- This door?
- Yup.

Shut the door.

How are we gonna get outta here?

Through the door. Come on.

[SCREECHES]

What's that?

I've lost Jack.

We got separated.

- Oh, Nancy.
- Elizabeth!

I don't know where he is. I've looked
everywhere. Have you seen him?

Nancy, they've got this
building surrounded.

How did you get in here?

I've been wandering
among them for hours.

They can be fooled.

How?

Don't show any emotions.
Hide your feelings.

- And when you sleep?
- We'll watch over each other.

- Okay.
- Let's find Jack.

We're going to beat them. Okay?
