WE'VE GOT TO STOP
MEETING LIKE THIS.

OH, COME ON, MARY LOU.

WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE
TO STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.

WELL, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.

WE HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT IT.

HENRY, WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?

I WANT TO GET MARRIED.

WELL, SO DO I,
MORE THAN ANYTHING.

LOOK, OUR PARENTS
HATE EACH OTHER

AND WE'RE THE ONES
WHO SUFFER.

WE'VE GOT TO ELOPE.

HON, WE HAVE BEEN
THROUGH THAT.

IF I RAN OFF WITH YOU

MY FOLKS WOULD CUT ME OFF
WITHOUT A PENNY.

NO MONEY,
NO JOURNALISM SCHOOL.

NO JOURNALISM SCHOOL,
NO FUTURE.

OF COURSE, UH...

WELL, I WAS THINKING
THAT IF WE DID ELOPE

AND THEN WE SOLD THIS CAR
OF YOURS, WE COULD...

ARE YOU KIDDING?

IF I RAN AWAY WITH YOU

MY FOLKS WOULD HAVE
THIS CAR REPOSSESSED

FASTER THAN WE COULD
GET IT OUT OF THE GARAGE.

OH.

WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?

( distant whirring )

OH, MY GOSH!

OH, MY GOSH!

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A U.F.O.

LIKE THE ONE
JAKE SAW LAST NIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M GOING TO GET
A PICTURE OF IT.

NO, HENRY.

STAY HERE.

ARE YOU NUTS?

THIS IS THE CHANCE
OF A LIFETIME!

HENRY, NO...!

NO, HENRY!

HENRY!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HENRY.

PLEASE COME BACK.

TERROR AND TRAGEDY
SEEM QUITE OUT OF PLACE

IN THE SMALL, QUIET TOWN
OF BARRYVILLE.

YET FOR THE PAST WEEK

STRANGE LIGHT FORMATIONS
HAVE VIOLATED ITS NIGHT SKIES.

MORE U.F.O.s HAVE BEEN SIGHTED
HERE IN THE LAST FIVE DAYS

THAN WERE SIGHTED IN THE WHOLE
COUNTRY THIS PAST YEAR.

BUT LAST NIGHT THE TERROR
HERE IN BARRYVILLE

REACHED NEW DIMENSIONS

WHEN ONE OF ITS CITIZENS,
HENRY WILSON

INEXPLICABLY AND PERHAPS
TRAGICALLY DISAPPEARED.

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.

MRS. WILSON?

YES.

I'M DIANA PRINCE OF THE I.A.D.C.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE VERY UPSET

BUT I WOULD
LIKE TO ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS.

IS THAT ALRIGHT?

I SUPPOSE.

A FEW WORDS
WITH YOU, PLEASE.

IT WAS YOUR SON
WHO DISAPPEARED...

ARE WE ROLLING?

IT WAS YOUR SON
WHO DISAPPEARED

IN, IN THOSE U.F.O.
SIGHTINGS LAST NIGHT?

YES.

COULD YOU SPEAK
JUST A BIT LOUDER

FOR OUR CAMERAS,
PLEASE?

YES, IT WAS MY SON HENRY.

WHAT MAKES YOU ASSUME
THAT HE WAS ABDUCTED

BY CREATURES
FROM OUTER SPACE?

HENRY SAID HE WAS GOING
TO THE LIBRARY.

HE WAS A STUDENT AT STATE,
YOU KNOW.

HE STUDIES SO HARD.

I, I KNOW IT'S VERY
PAINFUL, MRS. WILSON

BUT PLEASE GO ON.

WELL, HENRY ALWAYS WALKED
TO THE LIBRARY.

IN FACT, HE WALKED
ALMOST EVERYWHERE

ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

BUT WHAT MAKES YOU
SO SURE HE WAS ABDUCTED?

WELL, BECAUSE TO GET
TO THE LIBRARY

HE'D HAVE HAD TO PASS
BY THAT FIELD

WHERE OUR NEIGHBOR JAKE
SAW ONE OF THOSE THINGS

THE NIGHT BEFORE.

OH, IT'S LIKE HENRY
WAS JUST PICKED UP

AND WHISKED AWAY
BY SOME AWFUL CREATURE!

Reporter:
BUT WHAT OF THE FACT

THAT YOUR SON HENRY

MAY BE THE WORLD'S FIRST
INTERGALACTIC SPACE TRAVELER?

ISN'T THAT SOME SOLACE
TO YOU, MRS. WILSON?

( moans )

WOULD YOU HOLD
THE PICTURE

TO OUR CAMERAS, PLEASE?

PLEASE.

I JUST WANT HIM BACK.

HE BELONGS HERE
IN BARRYVILLE.

NOT OUT THERE.

DID YOU SAY YOU WERE
WITH THE GOVERNMENT?

YES, THE I.A.D.C.

I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT
ABOUT THOSE SIGHTINGS.

I'VE BEEN HOPING AN OUTSIDER
LIKE YOU WOULD SHOW UP.

WHY?

WHAT I KNOW I CAN'T SAY
TO ANYBODY IN TOWN.

WHAT? ABOUT THIS
ABDUCTION NONSENSE?

IT ISN'T NONSENSE.

HENRY REALLY WAS
CAPTURED BY A U.F.O.

I HAVE PROOF.

IF ANYONE IN TOWN EVER FOUND OUT
HENRY WAS IN MY CAR LAST NIGHT

MY FOLKS WOULD NEVER LET ME
OUT OF THE HOUSE AGAIN.

THAT'S WHY I'VE HAD
TO KEEP THIS A SECRET.

TAPE RECORDER?

SEE, HENRY'S
A JOURNALISM STUDENT.

HE AND HIS EQUIPMENT
ARE INSEPARABLE.

HE SAYS HE ALWAYS WANTS
TO BE READY

FOR THE BIG STORY.

YOU MEAN HE HAD THIS WITH HIM

WHEN HE WAS CARRIED OFF
BY THAT U.F.O. YOU SAW?

UH-HUH. WELL, HE MUST
HAVE DROPPED IT.

PLAY IT.

( click )

Object in front of me
is about 14 feet by 20.

Made of a, of a metallic
substance similar to, uh

well, well, it looks
like silver rubber.

It's oblong and ringed with
blinding red and white lights.

and, and now... wait.

Something's coming out
of the bottom.

It... yes.

Beings.

Beings from another planet.

Uh, they're small, about 5'4"

grayish with, with no features.

Th-they're coming closer.

It's okay...

( click )

YOU SEE?

THEY REALLY DID TAKE HIM.

Man:
Attention!

Emergency alert in progress.

Please clear the streets.

WHERE OUTSIDE
BARRYVILLE?

I don't know.

WELL, QUIT PICKING
YOUR TOES AND FIND OUT.

I'M IN BARRYVILLE
RIGHT NOW

IN CASE YOU IMBECILES
BACK THERE HAVE FORGOTTEN.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY
STARSHIPS, THAT'S ALL.

IT'S THE BIGGEST NEWS
STORY SINCE THE FLOOD.

WHAT?

YOU DON'T HAVE A TELEVISION?

THERE'S A BATTLE GOING ON

BETWEEN US AND THE ALIENS
FROM OUTER SPACE

SOMEWHERE IN THESE HILLS

AND WE'RE LOSING.

AND WE'RE JUST
SITTING HERE.

COME ON, MACK.

HOW ABOUT SHOWING ME
WHERE A PHONE IS.

OKAY, COME ON.

HEY, HEY, YOU'RE NOT PART
OF A NEWS TEAM, ARE YOU?

( gunfire )

WHEN DID IT START?

ABOUT TEN MINUTES AGO.

FIRST IT WAS ONLY ON CBS

BUT NOW ALL THE NETWORKS
HAVE A FEED.

THEY'RE CONVINCED
IT'S FOR REAL, COLONEL.

I've never seen
anything like it.

The starships are annihilating
everything in their path.

Nothing can escape their lasers

Lord help us all.

I don't think anything
can stop them.

( intercom buzzes )

Yeah?

No, not now.
Hold all my calls.

The small group
of farmers and deputies

who are making
a courageous stand

in this field here
are certainly no match

for the incredibly
devastating weaponry

that is being displayed
by this group of aliens.

ALRIGHT.

WE'RE ALL ON RED ALERT

UNTIL SOMEBODY GETS
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THING.

ABOVE ALL,
STAY CALM.

ALL WE KNOW IS WHAT
WE'VE SEEN ON TELEVISION.

IT'S PROBABLY
SOME KIND OF A HOAX

OR A COLOSSAL MISTAKE.

AT ANY RATE,
WE ALL HAVE OUR JOBS TO DO

SO LET'S DO THEM.

UH, BOBBIE

I WANT YOU TO CONTACT THE MEDIA,
ESPECIALLY TELEVISION.

TELL THEM TO BOTTLE
THIS THING UP.

WE DON'T WANT
MASS HYSTERIA.

NOW, IF THEY ASK
FOR A STATEMENT

SIMPLY SAY THE GOVERNMENT
DOES NOT CONFIRM ANY OF IT.

RIGHT, COLONEL.

BOBBIE, ONE MORE THING.

I WANT YOU TO FIND
THE TELEVISION FEED

THAT THE NETWORKS
HAVE BEEN PICKING UP.

ALREADY HAVE, COLONEL.

APPARENTLY, AN UNLICENSED
PIRATE STATION IN PENNSYLVANIA

IS RELAYING THE BROADCAST.

WHERE IN PENNSYLVANIA?

JUST OUTSIDE BARRYVILLE,
WHERE YOU SENT DIANA.

THE BROADCAST STOPPED ABRUPTLY
ABOUT TEN MINUTES AGO

BUT ACCORDING
TO OUR SATELLITE SENSORS

THE FEED ORIGINATED
AT AN UNLICENSED TRANSMITTER

about nine miles west
of Barryville.

WELL, I WANT TO HEAR BACK
FROM YOU

IN EXACTLY ONE HOUR.

IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

OKAY.

GOOD-BYE.

DIANA'S TRYING
TO LOCATE THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE BROADCASTING
THAT BATTLE.

AND SHE ALSO SAID
TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT

FOR A TAPE THAT SHE HAD
MESSENGERED OVER HERE.

SHE WANTS
THE LAB BOYS

TO TEST
ITS AUTHENTICITY.

WILL DO.

MEANWHILE, THERE'S
ABOUT TEN ZILLION PEOPLE

TO SEE YOU ABOUT THIS INVASION,
ONE OF WHOM IS A U.F.O. MAN--

COLONEL ROBERT ELLIOT.

OH, GOOD.

OH, NO.

I'LL GET HIM.

THERE'LL BE A RIOT
IF YOU POKE YOUR HEAD OUT THERE.

COLONEL ELLIOT,
HE'LL SEE YOU NOW.

LONG TIME, COLONEL.

IT HAS.

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.

ALRIGHT, NOW

AS THE AIR FORCE'S
LEADING EXPERT
IN U.F.O.s

DO YOU HAVE
ANY THEORIES?

WELL, ALL I CAN SAY IS
I'M ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT

THEN TO PITTSBURGH,
AND ON TO BARRYVILLE

FOR A FIRSTHAND LOOK
AT WHATEVER WE'RE UP AGAINST.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

I WAS HOPING YOU WERE
IN ON THIS THING

TO PROVE IT A HOAX.

I'M AFRAID NOT.

ONE OF OUR PILOTS

HAS SPOTTED WHAT LOOKS
LIKE THE BATTLE SITE

IN THE FOOTHILLS
OF THE ALLEGHENIES.

THAT IS A FACT WHICH I TRUST

WILL GO NO FURTHER
THAN THIS OFFICE.

WELL, OF COURSE.

YOU MEAN THERE REALLY
IS AN INVASION?

WELL, AGAIN,
ALL I CAN SAY

IS THAT WE'RE FACING
A SITUATION HERE

THAT WARRANTS SWIFT
AND CAREFUL INVESTIGATION.

CAN'T THE AUTHORITIES
IN PENNSYLVANIA HANDLE IT?

WELL, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE

TO REACH ANY
OF OUR PEOPLE THERE.

THE MATTER IS
MUCH TOO DELICATE

TO ENLIST THE STATE'S
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

WE CAN'T RISK PANICKING
THE PUBLIC ANY FURTHER.

I'M SORRY TO BLINDSIDE YOU
LIKE THIS, COLONEL

BUT I COULDN'T DISCUSS IT
WITH YOU ON THE PHONE.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND.

NOW, LET ME
ASK YOU THIS.

ARE YOU BEING SENT
TO BARRYVILLE

BECAUSE OF YOUR PAST WORK
WITH PROJECT "BLUE BOOK"

OR BECAUSE OF YOUR
PRESENT INVOLVEMENT

WITH OUR NUCLEAR
WEAPONS PROGRAM?

WELL, LET ME
PUT IT THIS WAY.

MY SUPERIORS FELT THAT
NOT ONLY WAS I THE BEST PERSON

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
WE'RE UP AGAINST

BUT THEY ALSO FELT
THAT I WAS THE BEST PERSON

TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO ELIMINATE IT.

I HAVE TO GO, COLONEL.

YOU KNOW,
I JUST GOT WORD

THAT SOMEONE
IN BARRYVILLE

WAS APPARENTLY ABDUCTED
LAST NIGHT BY A U.F.O.

AND I DIDN'T GIVE IT
MUCH CREDENCE UNTIL NOW.

HOW DID YOU
COME BY THAT INFORMATION?

WE SENT ONE OF OUR AGENTS
UP THERE

TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING
TO THE U.F.O. SIGHTINGS.

( tire explodes )

( thunderclap )

( horn honking )

Man:
MY LORD... THEY WIPED OUT
EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

A HANDFUL OF DEFENSELESS
FARMERS, COUNTY DEPUTIES

DESTROYED LIKE PAPER DOLLS.

WELL, NOT NECESSARILY,
GENERAL.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

THE TV CREW.

WHOEVER RECORDED THE BATTLE
IS NOT HERE.

IT LOOKS AS IF THEY,
AND ONLY THEY,
GOT OUT ALIVE.

HMM.

ALMOST AS IF THOSE
MONSTERS WANTED
TO MAKE SURE

THE WHOLE WORLD
WITNESSED THIS.

WELL, THIS IS WHAT
I SUGGEST WE DO, GENERAL.

WE CORDON OFF AN AREA

ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THAT RIDGE THERE

TO DECOY THE PUBLIC.

IT'LL GIVE US A CHANCE
TO TAKE SOIL SAMPLES

AND TEST FOR RADIOACTIVITY
WITHOUT CAUSING A PANIC.

AND ABOVE ALL, WE HAVE
TO LOCATE THAT TV CREW.

THEY'RE THE ONLY TRUE
WITNESSES WE HAVE.

FINE, ELLIOT.

WE'LL LEAD THE PUBLIC
TO BELIEVE THE WHOLE
THING A HOAX

UNTIL WE KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME

I'M CALLING
THE JOINT CHIEFS.

WE'VE GOT TO PUT TOGETHER
SOME KIND OF DEFENSE.

QUIETLY, OF COURSE.

I, UH...

WAS TOLD I COULD
COUNT ON YOU

WHERE NUCLEAR STRATEGY
WAS CONCERNED.

YOU APPARENTLY
ARE ONE OF THE FEW

WITH ACCESS TO KOONTZVILLE.

YES, SIR,
THAT'S CORRECT.

I PRAY IT DOESN'T COME
TO THAT, NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

OF COURSE, ELLIOT.

SO DO I.

BUT THEY MIGHT BE
OUR ONLY RECOURSE

IN LIGHT OF WHAT
WE'VE SEEN HERE.

WELL, LET'S GET
THINGS ROLLING.

UH, COLONEL

IF YOU'D LIKE TO LOOK AROUND
A LITTLE MORE

I CAN GO BACK WITH THEM,
MAKE SOME CALLS

CHECK BACK FOR YOU
IN AN HOUR.

YEAH.

I'D LIKE THAT, JERRY.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW...

I SPENT 13 YEARS
WITH PROJECT "BLUE BOOK"

INVESTIGATING PHENOMENA
THAT'S TURNED OUT TO BE

EVERYTHING FROM
WEATHER SATELLITES

TO FLOCKS OF GEESE.

ALWAYS FINDING
AN EXPLANATION

AND ALWAYS HOPING,
DEEP DOWN INSIDE ME...

THAT I WOULDN'T.

BUT THIS...

( engine starts )

MAYBE THIS...

IS FINALLY THE REAL THING.

I'M TELLING YOU,
LET ME OUT OF HERE!

DO YOU HEAR ME?!

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.

I'M BIGGER THAN YOU,
AND YOU DON'T FRIGHTEN ME.

OKAY... OKAY, SO YOU GOT ME
ON THAT ONE.

( panting )

( mechanized male voice ):
COME NO CLOSER,
COLONEL ELLIOT.

IF THE OTHERS SEE US HERE

YOU WILL SURELY
BE DESTROYED.

YOU... YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

OUR SUPERIORS HAVE BEEN
MONITORING YOU

AND OTHERS IN YOUR GOVERNMENT.

THAT IS HOW WE KNOW
YOU CAN HELP US.

HOW, HOW I CAN
HELP YOU?

OUR SUPERIORS
INTEND TO DESTROY

ALL LIFE ON YOUR PLANET

IN ORDER TO MINE ITS
METAL BEARING RESOURCES.

THEY MUST BE STOPPED.

NOT ONLY TO SAVE YOUR PLANET

BUT TO SHOW OTHERS
IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

THAT SUCH SLAUGHTER
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

WHAT CAN I DO?

DESTROY OUR STARSHIP FLEET

BEFORE IT LAUNCHES
ITS MAJOR ATTACK.

HOW?

SEND NUCLEAR WARHEADS

TO A LOCATION
1-1-8 DEGREES LONGITUDE

4-2 DEGREES
LATITUDE.

THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

OUR SUPERIORS' PLAN

TO LAUNCH THE ATTACK FROM HERE
WAS FOILED.

THEY INTEND NOW TO LAND
AT THOSE COORDINATES.

NUCLEAR WARHEADS WILL DESTROY
NOT ONLY THE STARSHIP

BUT... MILLIONS
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE AS WELL.

WERE YOU TO TRY TO WARN THEM

OUR SUPERIORS WOULD FIND OUT

AND SIMPLY LAND
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

YOU MUST LAUNCH
THE WARHEADS

WITHIN TWO HOURS.

AND YOU MUST
TELL NO ONE.

MUST BE SOME OTHER WAY.

SAVING BILLIONS OF LIVES
THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE

CANNOT BE ACHIEVED
WITHOUT SACRIFICE.

THE TWO OF US WILL BE
ON THE MOTHER SHIP

WHEN YOU DESTROY IT.

THERE IS
NO OTHER WAY.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I CAN.

YOU WERE HOPING BEFORE

THAT THIS WOULD FINALLY
BE THE REAL THING.

TO OUR MUTUAL SORROW, COLONEL,
INDEED IT IS.

( jeep approaching )

COLONEL, YOU READY
TO GO BACK?

YES.

YES, I AM.

I'VE GOT A LOT TO DO.

ANYTHING NEW
ON THE INVASION BROADCAST?

NOTHING NEW,
COLONEL.

GOOD, THAT'S JUST WHAT
I FINISHED TELLING THEM.

HERE'S SOME MORE MATERIAL
IRA TRACKED DOWN

ON THE PIRATE STATION
OUTSIDE BARRYVILLE.

HERE'S OUR LUNCH

AND HERE, I'M TOLD,
IS DIANA.

YOU'RE EXACTLY
25 MINUTES LATE.

YES, I KNOW.

THE WORST OF IT IS
THAT I RAN INTO SOME CAR TROUBLE

WHILE I WAS TRYING TO LOCATE
THAT PIRATE TRANSMITTER.

I NEVER GOT THERE,
WHEREVER IT IS.

WELL, YOU COULD HAVE SAID

YOU RAN INTO SOME LITTLE
GREEN MEN FROM OUTER SPACE.

YES, I SUPPOSE I COULD HAVE.

STEVE, SOMEBODY HAS TAKEN
SOME PRETTY DEFINITE STEPS

TO SEE THAT PEOPLE DON'T
GET NEAR THAT TRANSMITTER.

My car trouble
was very well planned.

HEY, IRA JUST DUG UP
SOME INTERESTING CLUES

THAT MIGHT RELATE TO THE
TRANSMITTER'S OPERATION.

SUCH AS?

Such as a large amount of
heavy duty electronic equipment

recently purchased
and believed to be moved

to the Barryville area.

THAT'S THE KIND
OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

THAT COULD PUT A TV STATION
INTO OPERATION.

It seems that several
low-profile types are involved.

BY LOW-PROFILE I MEAN PEOPLE
OF QUESTIONABLE AFFILIATIONS.

SHADY CHARACTERS,
THAT SORT OF THING.

ANYONE IN PARTICULAR?

ONE OF THEM IS MASON STEELE.

I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

HE'S AN ULTRA RIGHT-WING
FANATIC.

HE'S ALSO ON THE F.B.I.'s
"KEEP AN EYE ON" LIST.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S
SOMETHING INVOLVING
COMMUNIST CHINA.

I'LL TAKE ANOTHER SHOT
AT LOCATING

THAT PIRATE TRANSMITTER.

HAS MY TAPE ARRIVED YET?

No, not yet.

BOY, WITH EVERYTHING
I'VE HEARD TODAY

THE IDEA OF SOMEONE BEING
KIDNAPPED BY A STARSHIP

IS BEGINNING TO SOUND TAME.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

AT LEAST LET ME HAVE
SOME AIR IN HERE!

I'M SUFFOCATING!

DO YOU HEAR ME?

I'M GOING TO DIE ON YOU
IF YOU DON'T GET ME SOME AIR!

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT, YOU CREEPS.

AIR...

I PRESUME YOU'RE
TRESPASSING

BECAUSE YOU'RE UNBEARABLY
ANXIOUS TO MEET US.

THEREFORE,
MY NAME IS MASON...

STEELE.

AND YOUR NAME?

I KNOW HER.

SHE'S DIANA PRINCE
WITH THE I.A.D.C.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE'RE ON TO YOU, MR. STEELE.

OH, I DON'T
THINK SO.

I THINK MY NAME WAS ONLY
ONE OF A DOZEN OR SO

THAT YOUR AGENCY
PULLED OUT OF A HAT.

WELL, JUST SO THAT
YOU'RE NOT TOO SURPRISED

WHEN THE OTHERS GET HERE.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE CAUGHT HERE

SNOOPING TO THROW
ME OFF GUARD.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ME
TO BELIEVE, MISS PRINCE?

I THINK NOT.

I THINK YOU BUNGLED

ACROSS MY
LITTLE WAREHOUSE
ACCIDENTALLY

AND YOU SHALL LEAVE
THE SAME WAY.

ACCIDENTALLY.

A TRAGEDY,
OF COURSE.

BUT ALL THAT
WILL HAVE TO WAIT

UNTIL I FINISH
MY WORK HERE.

YOU WILL BE PRIVILEGED
TO OBSERVE

HOW THESE
FACILITIES WORK.

I'D LIKE THAT VERY MUCH.

WHAT YOU'D LIKE
VERY MUCH

IS TO COME ACROSS
A MEANS OF ESCAPE.

BUT YOU WON'T.

ONLY ABOUT 20
MORE MILES,
COLONEL.

THAT ROAD MAY COME UP
A LITTLE BEFORE THAT.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

YOU KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF KOONTZVILLE, JERRY?

ONLY THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO
WITH NUCLEAR MISSILES.

LESS THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE
KNOW WHERE IT IS.

EVEN FEWER KNOW HOW TO UNLEASH
WHAT LIES THERE.

IS THAT WHY WE'RE GOING THERE,
COLONEL?

JUST DRIVE FASTER.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY.

LOOK ALIVE, WE'VE GOT
A SHOW TO GET ON THE AIR.

Man:
JIM, ARE WE ON?

CAN ANYBODY HEAR US, JIM?

I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE
TRANSMITTING ANYMORE

BUT IN CASE WE ARE

IN CASE ANYONE OUT THERE
CAN HEAR ME

THERE ARE ONLY TWO OF US LEFT.

WE'VE BEEN HIDING

EVER SINCE THE STARSHIPS
DEVASTATED

THAT PITIFULLY OUTMATCHED
GROUP OF MEN THIS MORNING.

AND WE'VE BEEN WATCHING.

WATCHING AS MORE AND MORE
STARSHIPS GATHER.

THEY APPEAR TO BE, UM,
RENDEZVOUSING...

OF COURSE, IT'LL BE
MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE

WHEN WE ADD
THE SOUND EFFECTS

AND KEY IN
THE STARSHIPS
BEHIND THEM.

WE'LL DO THAT AT
THE TRANSMITTER
DOWN THE ROAD

WHEN WE BROADCAST.

AND, OF COURSE,
YOU WILL BE SURE

TO SCRAMBLE THE TRANSMISSION
WITH ENOUGH ELECTRONIC STATIC

SO THAT NO ONE CAN TELL
IT'S A TAPED TRANSMISSION

AND NOT A LIVE
BROADCAST, CORRECT?

A GROSSLY UNDERRATED
MEDIUM, TELEVISION.

THE STARSHIPS ARE
FLYING OUT OF SIGHT

OVER THE HORIZON.

NOT SIMPLY UPWARDS
INTO THE HEAVENS...

IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HEAR ME

WHAT I'VE SEEN TODAY,
THIS NIGHTMARE OF

OF WANTON DESTRUCTION

THIS DISPLAY OF, OF MERCILESS,
MINDLESS VIOLENCE--

FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN TODAY

I'M TERRIFIED...

NOT FOR MYSELF.

AS I'VE SAID, THE STARSHIPS
APPEAR TO BE LEAVING THIS AREA.

I'M TERRIFIED
FOR THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY.

I'M TERRIFIED
THAT I'VE JUST SEEN

THE BEGINNING OF THE END
FOR ALL OF US.

JIM, THEY'VE SEEN US!

GET OUT, JIM! GET OUT!

OKAY, CUT IT.

ED SAYS HE'LL SWEETEN
THAT LAST BIT

WITH THE SPECIAL EFFECTS.

GOOD. GET IT TO
THE TRANSMITTER QUICKLY.

I WANT THIS BROADCAST
ON THE AIR

IN LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR.

THE FIRST BATTLE,
WE SHOT A LOT
OF EXTERIORS.

AND YOU SAW,
VERY IMPRESSIVE.

SO, YOU WERE
RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE U.F.O. SIGHTINGS
OVER BARRYVILLE.

IT WAS MEANT TO WHET
THE PUBLIC'S APPETITE

FOR MY LITTLE INVASION.

I SEE.

YOU MADE A U.F.O. OUT OF A BLIMP
AND SOME COLORED LIGHTS.

COMBINED WITH THE APPROPRIATE
SOUND EFFECTS

IT COULD EVEN FOOL
A MARTIAN OR TWO.

THE KID GOT AWAY.

IT'S ALRIGHT.

IF AND WHEN HE
REACHES THE AUTHORITIES

IT'LL BE TOO LATE.

THE YOUNG MAN THAT
YOU SAW EARLIER

HE CAME ACROSS OUR
U.F.O. UNEXPECTEDLY.

IT WAS NECESSARY
TO DETAIN HIM.

AND THE REST OF YOUR CAST?

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DISCOURAGE
POTENTIAL MEDDLERS.

THEY, AND CERTAIN FOREIGN
OBJECTS IN THE ROAD.

THEY ALSO SERVE A NOBLE PURPOSE.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, MR. STEELE,
I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOURS.

WHY THE HOAX?

WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY
HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?

WELL, I'LL SPARE YOU
THE DETAILS.

SUFFICE IT TO SAY
I'M SERVING MY COUNTRY

EVEN AS YOU, PERHAPS.

EXCEPT THAT MY HANDS
ARE NOT TIED

WITH RED TAPE
AND POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY.

I AM FREE TO ACT

TO DESTROY THE ENEMIES
OF THE UNITED STATES

TO DO WHAT EVERY
FREEDOM-LOVING PATRIOT
KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE.

I HAVE SEEN TO IT THAT
AT THE END OF THE DAY

THE ENTIRE HEARTLAND
OF RED CHINA

WILL BE OBLITERATED
IN NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST.

YOU REALLY ARE INSANE.

WE ALL HAVE OUR PASSIONS.

MINE IS TO SEE

THAT DEMOCRACY OUTLIVES
EVERY OTHER FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

THE OTHERS?

THEY PLAY THE LEAD IN A
MAGNIFICENT, COSMIC TRAGEDY.

I DON'T EVEN SEE A TOWN
LET ALONE A MISSILE SITE.

WELL, YOU'RE SEEING
EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO SEE-- NOTHING.

MAKE A RIGHT ON THAT DIRT ROAD
UP THERE.

EVERYBODY'S ALL SET.

GOOD.

WE'LL JUST SEE TO IT

THAT MISS PRINCE
GETS COVERED UP

ALONG WITH THE REST
OF OUR TRACKS

AND BE OFF
TO THE STATION.

I HAVE AN AVERSION

TO LOUD NOISES,
MR. STEELE.

I DARESAY YOU WON'T
HEAR THIS ONE FOR LONG.

IN A WAY, FOR YOUR SAKE

I ALMOST HOPE YOU NEVER
REALIZE THE TRUTH--

THAT YOU HAVE DONE MORE
TO DESTROY DEMOCRACY

THAN ANY COMMUNIST COUNTRY
EVER DREAMED OF DOING.

PUT A GAG ON HER MOUTH.

I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN
TO THESE OBSCENITIES

FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS
NEVER DONE ANYTHING

TO SEE THAT HER
COUNTRY PREVAILS

ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

JUST GIVE US TIME ENOUGH
TO CLEAR THE BUILDING.

THREE MINUTES.

AT LEAST YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE,
IN A SENSE, FOR YOUR COUNTRY

AND THAT'S MORE
THAN YOU DESERVE.

( starts engine )

( muffled cries )

( muffled ):
HEY!

HEY!

( muffled shout )

I WAS WONDERING
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

IT WAS A GOOD THING
I CAME BACK

TO LOOK FOR MY CAMERA.

YOU KNOW, THOSE JERKS
BETTER NOT HAVE DAMAGED IT.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH THEY ALREADY
DROPPED MY TAPE RECORDER.

( muffled exclamations )

OH, HANG ON. I'LL HAVE
YOU FREE IN A SECOND.

( muffled ):
OH, FOR CRYING
OUT LOUD, LOOK!

WHAT MANIAC TIED THIS...

HOLY CRIMINY.

THAT'S A, IT'S A BOMB!

OH, HOLD ON.

ALRIGHT, NOW, HENRY,
JUST THINK.

UM, THAT, UH, THAT NEWS CLIP
YOU SAW IN CLASS

ABOUT THE
BOMB SQUAD.

WHAT'S THE FIRST THING
THAT THEY DID?

UM...

DISCONNECTED
THE TIMING DEVICE

FROM THE DETONATOR SWITCH.

UM...

( sighs )

NEVER KNEW MY HEART
COULD BEAT SO FAST.

HENRY WILSON,
I THINK I LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW WHO I AM.

THE WHOLE COUNTRY DOES.

EVERYONE THINKS YOU'RE
ON YOUR WAY TO MARS.

NO KIDDING?

LISTEN, I'VE GOT TO
FIND THAT TRANSMITTER
THEY'RE USING.

TRANSMITTER?

OH, NO, THERE'S NO...

WAIT A MINUTE,
THE OLD BARNES PLACE.

THERE'S A TRANSMITTER THERE?

YEAH, MAYBE.

YOU SEE, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO

SOME OUT-OF-TOWNERS BOUGHT IT

AND STARTED INSTALLING ALL SORTS
OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.

SAID THAT THEY WERE
WITH THE POWER DEPARTMENT.

OKAY, HOW DO I GET THERE?

UH, WELL, LET'S SEE

YOU GO OUT TO THE MAIN ROAD

AND THEN YOU MAKE A LEFT

AND, UH, AND IT'S
ABOUT FOUR MILES.

SO, A SHORTCUT WOULD BE
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WOODS?

RIGHT?

WELL, YEAH, I GUESS.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE
MY CAR BACK TO TOWN.

YEAH, BUT HOW ARE YOU...?

I HAVE A FRIEND.

IN THE WOODS?

( thunderclap )

WE'RE GOING
INSIDE HERE?

YES. AND AN
ELEVATOR WILL TAKE US

SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET DOWN
TO THE LAUNCH ROOM.

GET YOUR PIECE READY.

WELL, LOOKS LIKE COLONEL ROBERT
ELLIOT'S ON HIS WAY DOWN.

FUNNY I DIDN'T GET WORD
HE WAS COMING.

WELL, HE HAS "A" TO "Z"
CLEARANCE.

HEY, TONY

HE'S ON AGAIN.

I don't know if we're
transmitting anymore

but in case we are

in case anyone out there
can hear me

there are only two of us left.

Steele:
AS IT TURNS OUT, THIS BROADCAST
IS JUST ICING ON THE CAKE.

WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM JERRY YET

WHICH MEANS THEY MUST BE
AT THE MISSILE SITE.

HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME,
WONDER WOMAN?

THIS IS TREASONOUS!

YOU WEREN'T REALLY
PLANNING ON LEAVING

WERE YOU, GENTLEMEN?

WELL, I THINK IT'S TIME
SOMEONE STARTED YOU ON YOUR WAY

TO GETTING SOME HELP, STEELE.

SHE MUST BE EXECUTED
AS AN EXAMPLE

TO ALL THOSE
WHO IDOLIZED HER.

GET HER.

WELL, WE GOT
TO DO SOMETHING.

( grunts )

( grunts )

COME ON!

ON YOUR FEET.

AND FIGHT!

STOP HER.

( fires )

STOP HER, SOMEONE!

WITH PATRIOTS LIKE YOU,
MR. STEELE

THIS COUNTRY DOESN'T
NEED ANY ENEMIES.

I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
THE WHOLE PLAN

AND IF IT'S NECESSARY

YOU'RE GOING TO PUT ME

IN FRONT OF ONE OF
THOSE CAMERAS IN THERE.

SURELY, YOU DON'T INTEND
TO LAUNCH THE WARHEADS.

COLONEL, YOU CAN'T.

I'M ONE OF FIVE PEOPLE
IN THIS COUNTRY WHO CAN.

Not for myself.

As I've said, the starships
appear to be leaving this area.

I'm terrified...
for the whole of humanity.

DANNY, TAKE CARE
OF THAT NOISE.

YOU'RE ACTIVATING
A FAIL-SAFE MECHANISM THAT...

THAT I HELPED DESIGN.

WHICH I HAVE JUST OVERRIDDEN.

...beginning to the end
for all of us.

AND 18 DEGREES
LONGITUDE.

Jim, they've seen us!

Just get out, Jim, get out!

32 DEGREES LATITUDE.

IT'LL SOON BE OVER.

HOW I WISH THIS DIDN'T
REST ON MY SHOULDERS.

( warbling tuning )

WAIT! COLONEL, LOOK!

...no starships, no battle,
no invasion.

TURN IT UP.

The broadcast
you were just watching

and the one transmitted earlier
today, were part of a hoax.

IT'S A TRICK!

GET ON WITH IT, COLONEL.

( gun fires )

...and there was not going to be
a landing in Red China

or anywhere else.

This was all for the benefit

of Colonel Robert Elliot.

He was fooled
into going to Koontzville.

I repeat, Colonel Robert Elliot
is at Koontzville.

GET ME GENERAL EBERHART,
EMERGENCY PRIORITY.

The broadcasts that he
and everyone else saw today

were not live.

They were videotapes.

There's no cause for alarm

and no reason to panic.

Colonel Elliot,
if you can hear me

your aide is actually working
for the man behind all this.

He's been spying on you

manipulating you
with the help of some others.

Colonel, please, there has been

and will be, no invasion.

GOOD LORD.

( whirring )

( sighs )

The broadcast
you were just watching

and the one transmitted
earlier today

were part of a hoax.

( all gasp )

There was never any threat

to Earth from extraterrestrials.

and there was not going to be
a landing in Red China

or anywhere else.

And if Mary Lou Tompkins
is watching

Henry Wilson is safe.

OH...

( crowd murmurs in relief )

( sighs )

Steve:
YEAH, I TALKED
TO COLONEL ELLIOT

ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR AGO.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO KNOW
HOW CLOSE HE CAME

TO FIRING THOSE MISSILES.

WELL, WONDER WOMAN
MARCHED MASON STEELE

AND HIS CAST OF THOUSANDS
INTO CUSTODY HERE.

WHICH I THINK IS
THE MOST EXCITEMENT

BARRYVILLE HAS SEEN

SINCE THE INVENTION
OF PEANUT BUTTER.

TELL HER HELLO.

BOBBIE SAYS "HELLO."

SHE'S TAKEN OVER YOUR DESK
SINCE YOU LEFT.

When are you coming back?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE.

I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE

TO STAY TO ATTEND A WEDDING.

BYE.

( hangs up )
