People ask, where do you get your ideas?

Well, right here.

All this is my Martian landscape.

Somewhere in this room is an African belt.

Just beyond, perhaps, is a small Illinois town where I grew up. And I'm

surrounded on every side by my magician's toy shop.

I'll never starve here.

I just look around, find what I need, and begin.

I'm Ray Bradbury, and this is...

Well then, right now, what shall it be?

Out of all this, what do I choose to make a story?

I never know where the next one will take me.

And the trip?

Exactly one half exhilaration, exactly one half terror.

Jack, it's a party!

Thank God. How'd he do that?

Yeah.

Is there somebody up there?

No, he's all right.

I'm sorry.

Somebody give me a hand.

Yeah,

come on.

Let's do it now.

Come on, the ambulance will be here in a second.

We've got to move him. Leave him.

No, just stand back.

Don't crowd him.

Hey, look, you could kill him. You don't know what you're doing. Leave him

alone.

Mind your back.

Mind your backs, please. Mind your backs.

Thank God.

Thank God.

What about me?

I got it. It's okay.

Good, now let's go.

What time is it?

Two o 'clock. Five after, maybe.

Where?

Where?

Where are they all from?

What wheel?

The car wheel.

It was... It was still spinning when... When what?

What?

How long have I been here?

24 hours.

Welcome back. You're gonna be all right.

What was that about a wheel?

With a car wreck.

Turned upside down.

How long would it take for a spinning front wheel to stop?

Spinning.

Ten seconds?

Twenty? I don't know. Why?

The crowd got there before it stopped.

The crowd?

How did they?

Get there so fast no other night.

It's probably three or four minutes. You've got quite enough minutes Yeah,

but Street was empty Really empty

What the hell are you doing? You're supposed to be resting.

They wanted the job done yesterday.

Ah, come on. They always wanted to get today. Come on. New Year's. How come

let you out? No news on New Year's Day?

No. Dead day.

Even gave the bloody terrorists the day off. Where are they going? Come on.

Let's go.

I'm going to call up Liz.

21 seconds.

What? It only took him 21 seconds to get there.

Uh, who?

Them, the crowd.

Uh, yes. I want to report an accident.

Give her some air. Is she dead?

We should make her more comfortable. Give her some air. We should.

Joe, what are you doing?

Is she dead?

Let's get her some air. Breathe in.

Morgan, do you see her?

Yeah. Who?

Let's make her more comfortable. Damn it, she's gone.

Move her over. We need to move her now.

She's dead. She's moving.

Look at their faces. Yeah.

Whose faces?

The blonde hair and freckles.

We'll make her more comfortable.

No, you're not supposed to move her. You don't know what you're doing.

No, don't move her.

What's wrong with these people?

Well, she could kill her if you move her. Just put a blanket on her.

Let's get her some air. Get away from her.

Okay, come on then.

Get away from her. Hey, who are you shoving, buddy? Joe? Joe?

Sorry. Don't move her.

Move her.

Move her. Oh, she's there.

Christ, they should have done that.

Done what?

They killed her.

Take it easy.

Take it easy. No one killed anyone.

Did you see them?

The woman with the red hair, the old man.

Didn't you see them? I saw them.

Four nights ago.

At my house.

Hey, hey, kid.

I want to talk to you about your photograph.

You from a newspaper?

No, no, I'm just interested.

I'm interested in talking to you. I want a bite from your photograph.

These people were at my accident.

The same people, Morgan.

It was two in the morning.

How'd they know about my accident?

Where'd they come from?

One minute not there, the next, bang, crowd.

I've got to know more about them.

You can help me. You shoot the news. You can get me tapes of accidents, crowds.

Joe, this isn't funny anymore.

They used up all my air.

Don't you see?

Try to move me.

To kill me like they did to that woman.

Kill me.

Bye.

What do you say, going... Aren't you at least going to buy me a drink?

Take me to Method TV and wait.

Uh, Joe, I mean, looking at accidents, I get enough of this at work.

Eleven accidents, eleven different locations.

Two, three, five miles apart.

There.

The kid.

the old man

there

he is again

the

man with the raincoat right in the middle

It's the old man.

There she is again.

There's the kid.

Remember?

You shot this.

Three months ago.

There they are.

Those people up there on the bridge, who do you think they are?

I think that's them.

I can never make out the face.

I was hit.

Six different accidents.

Six different locations.

Same clothes.

Months apart.

I can never see the face.

So who are these people, man? Why are they doing this?

The morgue.

The morgue? They're dead.

They're all dead.

Car accidents in the past year.

But if they're dead, how?

I'm convinced they come back.

To haunt the place as accidents happen.

They're waiting for more accidents to happen.

I think they're waiting there to move people that shouldn't be moved.

To breathe the air other people need.

So they die.

They become part of the crowd.

No! Now there's got to be some sane explanation.

Think there's some kind of bus tour that takes people around with the accident?

Same people pay day after day, night after night to make the tour.

So what are you going to do?

Go to the police?

Turn it off.

I'm going to try and meet them.

Joe, please just forget it. I mean, erase the tapes and burn the pictures.

What?

Burn the pictures, Joe. Just forget it.

Actually, it's cold in here. I'm shaking.

Those people.

Those things out there.

The killers.

Let it go, Joe.

Just let it go.

I can't.

I've got to know.

Well, what happens when they find out that you know what they are?

I don't care.

I've got to find them.

Joe, this is crazy.

You didn't have to come.

Hey, let me out. I'll walk.

No, no. It's okay.

Stop the car.

No, no, I have to talk to him. No.

I got her.

I'll go around the building and cut him off.

. . .

He'll be comfortable now. Yes.

In time.
