[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.

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.

Not long.
What are you doing?

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.
D'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.
D'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!

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'll 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 one 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. It'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 favor 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?
[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 fetus.
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.

[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.
- 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 analyzed.
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.
[DIALING]
[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 analyzed 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.

Hello. Police.

You alright?
- Wait there, Mr. Bennell. - How do you know my name?
Hang up, Matthew.
- I didn't tell you my name! - 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.

No!

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

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... or he used to.
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'll 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 'em 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?
