Shut up.

Shut up, God damn it, now shut up!

What's happening?

What's happening down

here to upset them so?

The mother arrived about an hour ago.

They've been hysterical ever since.

All three of them?

That's odd.

You take a rest, I'll baby-sit awhile.

Tonight's a little too hot to sleep.

Maybe I'll get into a cold tub.

Don't forget, you're back on, six a.m.

Right.

Jesus, it's hot in that room.

Hey, how about some gin rummy?

Huh? Yeah.

It's too hot for sleep.

Calm down.

You know your mother's

just upstairs.

As long as you're up, we might

as well not waste the night.

Put Adam through the maze again.

Now, now.

There, there.

Adam, where are you?

Adam, you don't want to hurt me.

Adam!

Ah!

I got to get up at five o'clock.

No, God, no!

No, no!

Oh, God!

The door to the nursery

room seems to be open.

Did you hear a phone ringing upstairs?

I'll go and see about Dr. Perry.

Yeah, the door was open.

They'll kill all the babies for this.

It mustn't happen, mustn't happen!

Hey Frank, I found some trunks.

Hey, that's not a bad idea.

I may join you in a few minutes.

Say did you hear a phone or

a doorbell ring upstairs?

- No, when?

- A couple of minutes ago.

Hey, you think that water's

clean enough to swim in?

Just don't swallow it.

Come on in.

Hey!

This somebody's idea of a joke?

Davis, is that you?

Huh?

Gene?

Gene?

Gene?

Dr. Perry?

Gene?

Fire that flare!

Oh, no... oh, no,

you don't want to harm me,

I'm not like one of them,

I'm not one of them!

Oh!

- He's in there with somebody!

- It's in the clear.

Fire.

Get it off, get it off!!

That goddamn flare

blew our whole surprise!

Oh...

No, there's two.

You're mine, aren't you?

I can see it.

Don't you know who I am?

They lied to us, Jody!

- Calm down!

- He lied to you,

- Calm down. Calm--

- they're going to kill us all!

I'm gonna take another

look at that damn thing.

Why do you hate me?

- Jody!

-

- Calm down.

- My baby...

Now that you killed

it, you can all go home.

Disappointed, Mr. Mallory?

Let's find Mrs. Scott and Frank Davis.

Take it easy, it won't hurt me.

Why did you do this?

Why do you want to hurt people?

Why did you do this?

Why do they hate me?

Why does my own child hate me?

- Scared you huh?

- It sure did.

That Scott baby was a boy, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Well this one's a female.

Come on, let's go.

What's this?

Was this in your purse?

Yes.

Some kind of homing device.

She brought this to us, my own mother.

I could kill her.

It is not her fault.

Easy, now.

Come on, it's not her fault, come on.

Okay.

You stay here.

- Frank!

- Stay here.

- Frank, wait, no wait!

- I said stay here!

There's more than one.

Give me that goddamn transmitter.

There's two more running around loose!

There's two more running

around somewhere in the house.

Now find them!

They get outside into the

brush, we'll never find them.

Seal off the house.

Jody, go back

- and keep them distracted.

- Frank!

When will I see him again?

Maybe it's safer if you don't.

- No, Frank.

- Please, go ahead.

- No.

- Jody, go.

Wait, wait, I...

Where's my husband?

- Where's Gene?

- Take it easy!

- Where's my husband?

- Take it easy, take it easy!

- He's at the...

- Where's my husband?

He's at the hospital, he's at the

Cedars of Sinai Emergency Hospital.

What?

- Take her downstairs!

- Where's Gene?

Come on, the rest of you, come on,

- Where's, wait...

- come on!

Well, that's two.

Did you see it?

I could have swore it

tried to say something.

Shut up and cover it up.

Get me a blanket.

Now let's find the other one.

- Come on.

- Find Frank Davis,

and we'll find the third one.

Hold it, who's there?

You're trespassing on a city reservoir.

He won't hurt you.

No, no, take it easy,

it's not the policemen,

it's only a night watchman.

Now be calm, he's not gonna hurt you.

Did you hear me?

I said, who's there?

Don't, don't, it's

not, it's not the police.

Turn it off, please.

I'm gonna die!

Well, I said cover it up!

If you don't want

to see this, Mrs. Scott...

I'll take you to see your husband.

He's going to be all right.

We made reservations for you

and your wife to return to Tucson.

If I were you, I'd have us

stay around here for bait.

Davis told me that these, uh,

infants have a very

strong homing instinct.

They always manage to find their parents.

It may be that my baby just might be,

might try to come back and get me.

You'll help us?

I said I'm staying.

I mean, a few people might be alive today,

if I hadn't cooperated with Davis.

I'll cancel the reservation.

I guess I'm a funny guy.

Show me a few murders, and I'm impressed.

All you had to do was put one of those

on my back and I suddenly got your point.

I got the picture.

I want you to know that

you're not in this alone.

My real name was Preston.

The baby that was born in

Seattle, two years ago,

was mine.

Teresa and I had wanted a baby.

They told us we couldn't have any.

And then she conceived.

That baby was going to

be the most important

thing in our lives.

Then it was born.

It was one of them, it, it

killed her, it tore her apart.

I came home.

She'd had the baby, and it

was bending over her body.

I knew it was going

to kill me next,

and I had my service revolver.

Then you made a profession out of it.

If you were right, you

had to go around and

prove it over and over again.

I was right!

They don't belong on this Earth!

They'll keep coming and destroy us all!

They'll take over.

If you believe in God,

then they must be here for some reason.

Well, I don't believe in God.

Not anymore.

- Who got me this?

- He did.

Yeah, don't try to take it

back for the money, either.

You don't even need the makeup, Cindy.

That's not very nice

to say on my birthday.

I'm trying to get along with you.

Here, open my present first.

- Sure.

- Yeah and I'll open

- this one for you.

- No, I don't want

you to open it.

Come on, everybody, let's

go play some hide-and-go-seek.

- And you're it, Cindy.

- Come on, I don't

want to be it, let me finish

opening my present anyways.

We owe you 10 spankings,

so you either are it,

or you get your spankings.

Come on, everybody.

One, two, three, four,

seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12,

15,16,17,18,19, 21, 22,

25, 26, 28, 30!

I give up now. I can't

find you, come on out!

I'll be it again, come out

and give me another chance!

I know a place where

she'll never find us.

Come on, you're just,

today's my birthday,

now you're ruining it!

Nah, I never ruined your birthday,

you ruin all my birthdays!

Don't try anything.

Come on you guys, dang it!

I want to go home!

Valerie, I know you're in there!

Get out, come on!

I know you're in there, get out!

Get these kids out of here!

Oh, I'll never be mean to you again.

And I love the present you got me.

Move, move!

Come on.

Helicopter surveillance in these areas

will commence at 0900 hours.
