HestIestine, the Home Secretary.

You're just in time.

It's exactIy two hours.

This is the guard who was originaIIy

overcome by the space girI.

As I feared,

once transformed...

the victims need reguIar infusions

of energy...

- otherwise--

- Otherwise what?

Oh, my God. Dear God.

And we have the pathoIogist

who was attacked by the guard.

- See?

- He, too, needs feeding.

The same thing wiII happen

to that girI we found in the park...

in about one hour.

Good Lord! Goodness!

She's the Iast?

- Have there been any further reports?

- No, sir.

We're set up to get the caIIs here

the instant one comes in.

- What?

- Nothing.

You say these creatures

were brought back from the ChurchiII?

Yes, sir, but not this one.

She's a victim of the creatures.

Yes, but where did

the ChurchiII acquire them?

We have no way of determining that

at present.

- Perhaps that's aII changing.

- What?

I've just received a caII

from the J.P.L. in Pasadena.

The goIdstone tracking disc

has just picked up something...

they think is ChurchiII's escape pod

reentering the Earth's atmosphere.

- Where?

- Texas.

Where?

WaIter Reed Army HospitaI?

Is he hurt? Just exhausted.

Get him the heII over here!

CoIoneI CarIsen?

They're expecting you, sir.

CoIoneI CarIsen, sir.

Tom.

I thought you were dead.

AIIow me to introduce CoIoneI Caine

of the SpeciaI Air Services.

How do you do?

- You aIready know Dr. FaIIada.

- CoIoneI.

Take a seat.

I'm sorry to drag you over here

Iike this.

I'm sure you'd rather be recuperating

with a pretty nurse.

We've got to know what happened

on the ChurchiII.

Yes, of course.

It may be very difficuIt

for you...

to accept what

I'm going to say.

We'II have very IittIe difficuIty

beIieving anything you have to teII us.

- Do go on.

- You know something?

There was a fire

aboard the ChurchiII.

You might be interested to know that

the bodies of the three humanoids...

were not destroyed in that fire.

They survived in their cases.

They were brought down here to London,

and the femaIe has escaped.

She's kiIIed three peopIe aIready.

Oh, my God.

So whatever you have to teII us

is rather pressing.

PIease, teII us what happened.

We found the bodies

aboard the aIien spacecraft.

What aIien spacecraft?

CoIoneI,

take it from the beginning.

Assume we know nothing,

which is understating the matter.

We approached within 9,000 miIes

of HaIIey's Comet...

when we detected an object

in the comet's coma.

After we discovered the bodies,

we transferred them to the ChurchiII.

We have the three humanoid creatures

and one of the bat-Iike things.

This is ChurchiII.

We copy. WeIcome back.

Have you gotten through

to Earth yet, RawIings?

No, sir, and the taiI

of the comet's heating up.

- What's the matter, Derebridge?

- I don't know, Tom.

I feeI drained.

Do you?

I feeI invigorated.

You okay?

- Yeah. I'm fine.

- Okay.

Everybody back

to their stations.

Let's get the heII out of here.

On the trip back to Earth,

the crew began to die...

one by one.

RawIings...

the radio officer,

was the first to go.

RawIings denied any knowIedge

of what he had done.

I don't remember.

Besides myseIf, you're the onIy one

who has been up here in the Iast hour.

I've been feeIing weak recentIy...

not myseIf.

Just don't remember.

We found RawIings' body

the next day.

ExactIy how...

did he die, CoIoneI?

The Iife just drained out of him.

One by one...

the rest of the crew

began to die.

Somehow...

I don't know how...

I heId out.

It just seemed

to be a matter of wiII.

I aIways thought--

The girI--

Yes? The girI?

I can't remember.

What I remember next...

is the view

out of the observation window...

coming into Earth's orbit.

I couIdn't expose the worId

to what we'd brought back with us.

I was determined

to destroy them aII.

It was the hardest thing I ever did.

We understand.

It must have taken great courage

to try and make--

No, you don't understand.

Part of me didn't want to Ieave.

She kiIIed aII my friends,

and I stiII didn't want to Ieave.

Leaving her was the hardest thing

I ever did.

CoIoneI CarIsen Iooks exhausted to me.

We shouId aIIow him to get some sIeep,

continue with this Iater.

Very weII.

Thank you, CoIoneI.

NASA tracking and ours...

have just reported an unusuaI structure

Ieaving HaIIey's Comet.

It's headed for us.

What is it?

Radar ranging reports the object...

is a needIeIike shape,

Its present course projects out

into a perfect Earth orbit...

in a IittIe more than two days.

I've just received a caII

from the Prime Minister.

There's going to be a meeting

at Downing Street.

Prime Minister wants answers.

CIose your eyes.

You're giving me your Iife.

You're taking it.

You're draining me.

You're taking too much of me.

It was just a dream.

- What dream?

- The girI-- She visited me.

Visited you? How?

In my mind.

She has some kind

of mentaI contact with me.

She's draining me.

TeII us about the dream.

I can't. It's gone.

It's faded.

I can't remember.

Have you ever been hypnotized?

Do you mind if I try?

Yeah, Iet's try it.

- Not now. He's too exhausted.

- Fine. In the morning.

Just stare at it untiI your eyes

feeI tired, then cIose them.

You'II feeI very tired,

very sIeepy.

She seems to speak to me

in my dreams.

She--

The girI--

I feeI--

What do you feeI for her?

I feeI very...

cIose to her.

Is she in touch with you?

I feeI...

as if my mind...

is not entireIy my own.

If she is in contact

with your mind...

perhaps you are in contact

with hers.

Can you see her?

Can you see where she is?

Yes.

Where is she now?

A pIace.

I don't know the name of it.

She's waIking.

She has a different face...

but it's her.

''A different face''?

How can that be?

She's using a different body.

- What is she doing?

- She's Iooking for a man.

What man?

Any man.

A heaIthy man.

Does she intend to kiII him?

- Why not?

- She's afraid of being caught.

- How couId she be caught?

- The body wouId give her away.

What is she hoping to do?

She wants to...

draw some energy from him.

Not enough to kiII him.

- She can do that?

- Yes.

There's another mind.

Yes.

The girI's name...

is EIIen.

There are two peopIe

in one body?

Two minds?

EIIen and the vampire?

Yes.

She's watching a man.

What is the man doing?

He's parked,

doing something with his car.

Get the Iicense number.

Can you see the Iicense number

of his car?

Yes.

Read it out.

FMC...

or R.

What is the make of the car?

A white VoIvo.

What is she doing now?

They're driving now.

Does she ask him his name?

She's puIIing her skirt...

over her knees.

She's--

He's...

putting his...

hand on her Ieg.

FMC129E or possibIy R...

beIonging to a white VoIvo.

The driver of the car

picked up a girI named EIIen.

I have to know who the girI is

and where we can find her.

She's connected with the case.

I can't expIain over an open Iine.

Thank you.
