The Invaders (1967) s01e03 Episode Script
The Mutation
1 All right, hold it.
(brakes squeal) What's the matter, señor? We're going around in a circle.
No, señor.
The desert looks the same everywhere.
All right.
How much further? Two, maybe three miles.
You sure? We don't lie, señor.
We told you what we have seen.
Lights of shining color.
Noises.
Strange noises.
It's not too much farther.
Maybe two or three miles.
Now, look, I gave you 300 pesos.
If this is some kind of con forget it right now.
"Con"? ¿Que quieres y "con"? (speaks Spanish) Never mind.
Let's go.
(grunts) Stupido! "Lights of shining colors.
" Yeah, "strange noises," eh? (laughs) Vamonos.
(speaks Spanish) (panting) Starring Roy Thinnes as architect David Vincent.
NARRATOR: The invaders alien beings from a dying planet.
Their destination: the earth.
Their purpose: to make it their world.
David Vincent has seen them.
For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road looking for a shortcut that he never found.
It began with a closed, deserted diner and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey.
(eerie whining) It began with a landing of a craft from another galaxy.
(whining intensifies) Now David Vincent knows that the invaders are here that they've taken human form.
Somehow, he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun.
The guest stars in tonight's story: Edward Andrews Lin McCarthy and special guest star Suzanne Pleshette.
NARRATOR: Three weeks since the report of a crash and strange, glowing lights had brought reporters, the Air Force and David Vincent to the border town of Rosario.
Betrayed by his own kind and left to die under a blazing sun he retains a vision of a ship launched by another kind under another sun.
Now the Air Force and reporters have gone and David Vincent remains to begin the search again.
Vincent! Fellows, Air Force Intelligence, remember? Thought you people left town a week ago.
Vincent, you know what we used to run this thing down before you even showed up.
Planes, helicopters our best men.
Know what we found? Nothing.
Where does that leave you? Up the creek.
I've been there before.
Vincent, I can't check out of this oven until you call it quits.
Put in for hardship pay.
Want to take a look at those pictures? File 'em.
Sorry, Mr.
Fellows.
I'm sticking around.
I saw something out there.
I'm sure it was a disabled space vehicle.
Now think about that.
Release form for the jeep.
What about the men who rolled me? Mexican police are holding them.
I guess you've about had it with our desert, huh? Not quite.
Why don't you just do everybody a favor and take your nightmares and get out of here? When I'm finished.
Thanks.
(car starts) (tires squeal) (dog barking) You all right, Mr.
Vincent? Almost looked like they had you in their sights.
Yeah, I guess I wasn't paying attention.
Thank you.
Sure.
Thank you very much.
Any mail? Mr.
Vincent my name is Evans, Mr.
Vincent.
I'm a freelance newspaperman.
These are my credentials.
I'm here to see you, Mr.
Vincent.
You know, it came to me in the middle of the night that if David Vincent were right boy, I'd have a story that'd be worth a fortune.
Well, what do you say, Mr.
Vincent? Couldn't you use a couple of bucks? Not interested.
Don't be a fool, Mr.
Vincent.
I can help you.
How? Well, I found somebody who's telling the same story that you are.
They say they know just exactly where this spaceship is right now.
And who is this somebody? Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Not till after you agree to give me the exclusive.
How reliable is this informer of yours? You're the expert.
You decide.
(playing striptease music) (men whistling) MAN: Whoo! (applause) MAN: Yeah, that's it.
(men whistling) MAN: Come on, baby.
MAN: More! (laughs) How do you like her, huh? That'll depend.
I was talking about her act.
So was I.
Ah, Vikki.
Look, why don't you leave me alone? And this is Mr.
David vincent.
I told you I don't want to talk about it.
Go ahead.
Please, Vikki, tell him what you told me.
I'm tired of getting the fish-eye.
Everybody's looking at me like they're getting me ready for the men in the white coats.
No, no.
I want to hear your story.
Will you sit down? Not just for laughs? No.
All right.
One more time.
I was coming back from Mexico-- sightseeing and all that jazz and, um well, it started to get dark and you know this part of the country is not known for its streetlights and I made a wrong turn.
I didn't know it till I realized I didn't know where I was.
Well, I started to get scared so I pulled over to the side of the road and I pulled out the map.
Then all of a sudden I saw this, this thing like lights flashing.
Fire everywhere.
Like 20,000 jet engines.
A whining sound and color.
You saw all this? Sure, it was some kind of frantic.
But I looked through the lights and I could see motors starting and stopping like they were trying to get away only they were stuck, stuck bad.
Here it goes-- the fish-eye again.
No, no.
Wait a minute.
Do you think you could find this place again? Oh, look, mister, when I split that scene it was good-bye, Charlie.
I don't want any part of it.
Just answer my question.
Could you find that place again? Yeah, I think so.
Why should I? What if you got paid for it? Like how much? Mr.
Evans here says he has a pretty valuable story.
How about 25% of what he gets? Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Otherwise, you have nothing.
That's probably the way it'll wind up anyhow so why bother? A hundred.
Cash.
Can you make it $200? We'll have to.
And the car? I have a jeep.
All right.
I'll meet you in front of the hotel at 9:00 tomorrow morning.
Good.
Uh, can I buy you a drink? I better go back to work.
You are pretty good at spending my money.
Not spending.
Investing.
You're not leaving now.
She does a great second show.
Yeah, well, I'm beat.
The show I want to see starts tomorrow at 9:00.
Good luck, then, to all of us, huh? Yeah.
Thanks.
He will be delivered tomorrow.
Repeat: he will be delivered tomorrow.
We will be ready.
Where's the girl? Just 9:00.
She ought to be here any second.
Sure you don't want to come along? No.
I told you before.
This crummy town's all the adventure I need.
Hasta luego.
(dog barking) Good morning.
Have you got the money? Yeah, right here.
Oh, Vincent take good care of yourself.
I've got a big investment in you.
About how far is it? Look, I know I'm not paying for conversation but I have to know a few things.
A couple of hours.
Thanks.
Look, let's just get this over with and cut out the small talk, huh? (knocking) Here you sure you got the right room? There's a few questions I'd like to ask about a mutual friend.
Yeah? David Vincent.
Oh (chuckles) Look, mac, he may be a friend of yours but me, a buddy like that I do not need.
Oh, you were together a while ago with that girl.
That's what I mean.
I spend all week priming the pump and he takes off with the whole well.
Where to? I don't know.
She said something about visiting friends across the border.
Sounds like a real wild scene.
You know why he's here? Oh, you mean the the little green men and all? I doubt if that's what he said.
Well, pretty close.
By the way, Evans you be around for a while? For a while.
They're on their way.
Time of depature: Nine plus seven.
Repeat: nine plus seven.
There's a lighter in the compartment.
Can I have it please? It's very nice.
It has a flaw.
But then, haven't we all? You want something to eat? Sorry.
I lost my head.
(speaks Spanish) Tu cafe, señor.
Ah gracias.
¿El otro aqui? Si.
I've already ordered for you if that's all right.
(screaming) (yelling in Spanish) (speaking Spanish) You all right? You sure? Si.
Gracias, señor.
Muchas gracias.
It's all right.
(speaking Spanish) Are you all right? Yeah, I'm just great.
What's wrong with you? You sat there and sipped your coffee like it was a floor show or something? Leave me alone.
What's with you? You're hurting me.
I didn't think that was possible.
Here, let me help you.
I'll be all right.
It's cold cream.
It's good for burns.
Do it yourself.
Do you have to drive so fast? Haven't changed my speed in an hour.
Here.
Stop here.
Is this where you saw the ship? I think so.
Where was it? There, over that rise.
You wait here.
David! David, I've made a mistake.
This isn't the place.
Well, something made you stop.
I'll check it out.
Well, all this terrain looks alike, David.
You can see Get back to the jeep, huh? Take my word for it, David.
I'm sure it's a little more to that that side.
All right, you've seen the ship.
Now let's get out of here.
Go on.
No.
David, I'm staying with you.
Now.
(soft roaring) David, wait for me.
Don't leave me.
They'll kill me.
Why should they? Because they think I warned you.
Now you're supposed to start crying and say, "I'm sorry.
" Tell me something: why? Why all the hocus-pocus? Why the kids in the hot rod? Why the so-called rescue by evans? Why the striptease? Don't.
It had to be that way.
The ship was in trouble the reflected light we set up to protect us only helped from the air.
The ship still is in trouble and you you were getting too close.
You wanted to help me back there.
No.
You wanted to help me.
Why? Why? I don't know why.
I want an answer.
You're alive.
Why don't you just leave it at that and trust me.
You're one of them.
I can't trust you.
No, I said it's just a hunch.
Well, unless you're ordering me back to Washington, I Yes, I know Vincent has left, but I'm not Yes, sir.
I'll take the next plane out.
Yes, sir.
Good-bye, sir.
Not that far.
Get over here where I can keep an eye on you.
(coughing) I forgot.
I'm one of them.
Well, aren't you? All right.
I am an alien.
But I am to them, too.
What is that supposed to mean? (chuckles wryly) As if you could understand.
As if you could possibly understand.
Well, I could try.
All right.
I'm different, that's all.
Ever since I was little, I had this this thing in me, this difference.
Like my I suppose here, you'd call him my father.
Well, he had this difference, too and he couldn't live with it, either, so he he stood up against them and they They killed him.
Well, what is this difference? I'm not sure.
I only know we can't be like the others.
Life means something to us.
And death.
In other words, you're capable of feeling.
(laughs hollowly) You make it sound like it's something I should feel happy about.
(footsteps approaching) David! That's what happens to us when we die here on earth.
What will you do now? If we can get back to civilization I'll call Fellows and get him out here.
I won't be long.
Okay.
Help you? Yeah, this, uh, girl that calls herself Vikki Later, mister-- the show don't go on till tonight.
What do you know about her? What's it to you? Hey, if you're going to catch that plane you better hurry up, like right now.
Okay.
Did you do any checking on her? Yeah, after she came to work.
I called the guy she said was her agent to see, you know, if the guy had any more girls like her.
You know what? He never heard of her.
Doesn't make sense.
Take my bags back to the hotel.
Thanks.
Oh, you go on.
There's a ranch house not far from here.
I can't make it.
(humming) (knocking) What do you want? Help, señor.
We're running from bad people.
Men who would destroy us.
I cannot help you.
We have troubles of our own.
Your truck-- does it run? I'll pay you for it.
The truck something is broken, señor.
Asunto tiempo que no la uso.
Senorita ayudala.
Dale un poco de cafe.
Un poquito de agua mejor.
Como quieras.
Do you feel all right, senorita? Yes.
Yes.
Take this.
Gracias.
You know something about trucks, señor? Yes, a little bit.
If you can make it run there's a telephone west of here.
The station is called Los Lobos.
All right, I'll try to get it to run.
I'll be back as soon as possible.
Eh, señor un momento.
WOMAN: ¿Como esta? ¿Como se siente? VIKKI: Fine, thank you.
WOMAN: Pobrecita.
You may need this.
Thank you.
(chickens cackling) David? What's the matter? David? I want to go with you.
It'll be safer for you here.
I'll be back soon.
And then what? It was just a loose fuel line.
Señor! ¿Que es lo que quieren? Do you have any gasoline? En el corral! Señor! The gate! El caballo! And then what, David? You'll make me go to the authorities with you? That's right.
I can't do that, David.
Helping you is one thing, but betraying them They'd destroy you, if they had the chance.
Take me with you, David.
I know.
You think I should be happy about being able to feel and to care.
Well, for the first time, I am.
Before I met you, I I was ashamed of caring because there was no one to care for.
But now there is, and I want to stay with you.
Vikki you came millions of miles to this place.
You came in a different form from a different world.
That doesn't matter.
Not to me.
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
He's on his way to a place called Los Lobos.
He's going to call a man named Fellows.
Do not worry, senora.
He will be back soon.
Un poquito de cafe? A little coffee? Yes, thank you.
Operator, uh quiero la Popular Hotel en Rosario.
Si, Rosario.
Y pronto, por favor.
Señor Fellows.
Pronto, por favor.
Well, can't you break in? It Emergencia, por favor! No.
I'll lead the search myself.
I want a plane gassed and ready to go in 40 minutes.
Two hours? All right, that'll have to do.
No, I don't want you to clear it with Washington or Mexico City.
I'll take the responsibility.
Oh, Lieutenant, one other thing.
I don't want the name of Vincent mentioned.
(phone rings) Fellows here.
It's David Vincent.
You got to meet me down here right away.
Why? What's up? The spaceship-- I've pinpointed its location.
You what?! I swear I know where it is.
Is the girl with you? She's one of them but for some reason, she's helping me.
It's that newspaperman, Evans.
He's the one who's running the whole thing.
Now, you've got to meet me down here right away.
FELLOWS: All right.
Where? VINCENT: There's a small ranch about seven miles due east of Los Lobos.
I'm heading back there now to pick up Vikki.
FELLOWS: I'll be there.
(line disconnects) Make out my bill.
Call my a cab, please.
Un poquito de frijoles? No, thank you.
I'm not very hungry.
Oh ¡Esto es mi casa! ¡¿Quienes son ustedes?! (shouting, screaming) We're wasting time.
He may not come back.
We'll be needed at the ship.
Vikki?! Vikki?! How can he hurt us? When the spaceship is gone nobody'll believe a word he says.
It's better not to kill him.
With him dead, people will ask questions.
They'll wonder.
It's better not to kill him.
Vikki! David.
David! Watch out! (eerie whistling) The spaceship's gone.
Where's the girl? She's gone, too.
Ah, just like that.
I come all the way out here Where'd she go? They killed her.
No, there's no body.
There's nothing.
But they were here.
Ask them.
My name is Fellows U.
S.
Air Force Intelligence.
What happened here? Horrible strange men pushed into our house.
He helped us.
These strange men-- do you know who they were? Terrible men with faces like like masks of steel.
How about it, Fellows? Still sound like a tale told by an idiot? I'll pick up Evans when we get back to town.
We'll see what happens then.
He won't be there.
Believe me.
Well? A couple of days ago I'd have had a quick answer for you.
Right now, I'm not so sure.
When will you be sure? When it's too late? NARRATOR: For a moment, in the desert south of Rosario a man and woman came together across a void of space and time-- two people, star-crossed from alien worlds.
In the months to come David Vincent would remember that moment.
(brakes squeal) What's the matter, señor? We're going around in a circle.
No, señor.
The desert looks the same everywhere.
All right.
How much further? Two, maybe three miles.
You sure? We don't lie, señor.
We told you what we have seen.
Lights of shining color.
Noises.
Strange noises.
It's not too much farther.
Maybe two or three miles.
Now, look, I gave you 300 pesos.
If this is some kind of con forget it right now.
"Con"? ¿Que quieres y "con"? (speaks Spanish) Never mind.
Let's go.
(grunts) Stupido! "Lights of shining colors.

Okay.
Help you? Yeah, this, uh, girl that calls herself Vikki Later, mister-- the show don't go on till tonight.
What do you know about her? What's it to you? Hey, if you're going to catch that plane you better hurry up, like right now.
Okay.
Did you do any checking on her? Yeah, after she came to work.
I called the guy she said was her agent to see, you know, if the guy had any more girls like her.
You know what? He never heard of her.
Doesn't make sense.
Take my bags back to the hotel.
Thanks.
Oh, you go on.
There's a ranch house not far from here.
I can't make it.
(humming) (knocking) What do you want? Help, señor.
We're running from bad people.
Men who would destroy us.
I cannot help you.
We have troubles of our own.
Your truck-- does it run? I'll pay you for it.
The truck something is broken, señor.
Asunto tiempo que no la uso.
Senorita ayudala.
Dale un poco de cafe.
Un poquito de agua mejor.
Como quieras.
Do you feel all right, senorita? Yes.
Yes.
Take this.
Gracias.
You know something about trucks, señor? Yes, a little bit.
If you can make it run there's a telephone west of here.
The station is called Los Lobos.
All right, I'll try to get it to run.
I'll be back as soon as possible.
Eh, señor un momento.
WOMAN: ¿Como esta? ¿Como se siente? VIKKI: Fine, thank you.
WOMAN: Pobrecita.
You may need this.
Thank you.
(chickens cackling) David? What's the matter? David? I want to go with you.
It'll be safer for you here.
I'll be back soon.
And then what? It was just a loose fuel line.
Señor! ¿Que es lo que quieren? Do you have any gasoline? En el corral! Señor! The gate! El caballo! And then what, David? You'll make me go to the authorities with you? That's right.
I can't do that, David.
Helping you is one thing, but betraying them They'd destroy you, if they had the chance.
Take me with you, David.
I know.
You think I should be happy about being able to feel and to care.
Well, for the first time, I am.
Before I met you, I I was ashamed of caring because there was no one to care for.
But now there is, and I want to stay with you.
Vikki you came millions of miles to this place.
You came in a different form from a different world.
That doesn't matter.
Not to me.
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
He's on his way to a place called Los Lobos.
He's going to call a man named Fellows.
Do not worry, senora.
He will be back soon.
Un poquito de cafe? A little coffee? Yes, thank you.
Operator, uh quiero la Popular Hotel en Rosario.
Si, Rosario.
Y pronto, por favor.
Señor Fellows.
Pronto, por favor.
Well, can't you break in? It Emergencia, por favor! No.
I'll lead the search myself.
I want a plane gassed and ready to go in 40 minutes.
Two hours? All right, that'll have to do.
No, I don't want you to clear it with Washington or Mexico City.
I'll take the responsibility.
Oh, Lieutenant, one other thing.
I don't want the name of Vincent mentioned.
(phone rings) Fellows here.
It's David Vincent.
You got to meet me down here right away.
Why? What's up? The spaceship-- I've pinpointed its location.
You what?! I swear I know where it is.
Is the girl with you? She's one of them but for some reason, she's helping me.
It's that newspaperman, Evans.
He's the one who's running the whole thing.
Now, you've got to meet me down here right away.
FELLOWS: All right.
Where? VINCENT: There's a small ranch about seven miles due east of Los Lobos.
I'm heading back there now to pick up Vikki.
FELLOWS: I'll be there.
(line disconnects) Make out my bill.
Call my a cab, please.
Un poquito de frijoles? No, thank you.
I'm not very hungry.
Oh ¡Esto es mi casa! ¡¿Quienes son ustedes?! (shouting, screaming) We're wasting time.
He may not come back.
We'll be needed at the ship.
Vikki?! Vikki?! How can he hurt us? When the spaceship is gone nobody'll believe a word he says.
It's better not to kill him.
With him dead, people will ask questions.
They'll wonder.
It's better not to kill him.
Vikki! David.
David! Watch out! (eerie whistling) The spaceship's gone.
Where's the girl? She's gone, too.
Ah, just like that.
I come all the way out here Where'd she go? They killed her.
No, there's no body.
There's nothing.
But they were here.
Ask them.
My name is Fellows U.
S.
Air Force Intelligence.
What happened here? Horrible strange men pushed into our house.
He helped us.
These strange men-- do you know who they were? Terrible men with faces like like masks of steel.
How about it, Fellows? Still sound like a tale told by an idiot? I'll pick up Evans when we get back to town.
We'll see what happens then.
He won't be there.
Believe me.
Well? A couple of days ago I'd have had a quick answer for you.
Right now, I'm not so sure.
When will you be sure? When it's too late? NARRATOR: For a moment, in the desert south of Rosario a man and woman came together across a void of space and time-- two people, star-crossed from alien worlds.
In the months to come David Vincent would remember that moment.
