Bosqinchilar - The Invaders

Qachon charter uchuvchisi Barney Cahill (Jek Warden ) bo'ron paytida favqulodda qo'nishga majbur bo'lsa, uning yo'lovchilaridan biri jarohat olgan. Keyxillning taajjubiga ko'ra, "odam" azob chekmaydi yoki qon ketmaydi. Yo'lovchilar uchuvchini o'zlari bilan belgilangan manzilga olib ketishadi: Midlands akademiyasi. Muassasa rahbari doktor Reynard (Murray Matheson ), unga ko'rganlarini unutishi va yangi o'quvchilarda uchishda davom etishi uchun unga katta pul taklif qiladi. Keyxill qabul qiladi. Devid Vinsent, tanish tajovuzkorga ergashgan (Devid Shayner ) u tasodifan duch kelib, o'sha shaharchada tugaydi va u bu erga yangi kelganlar odamlarga taqlid qilish va ularning his-tuyg'ularidan foydalanishga o'rgatilgan o'quv markazi deb biladi. Charade hozirgi zamonning eng muhim siyosiy va madaniy masalalarini oqilona muhokama qilishgacha boradi. Vinsentni ko'rdi, ammo qochishga muvaffaq bo'ldi. Keyxillga murojaat qilganida, uchuvchi istamay keyingi yo'lovchilar guruhini Vinsent va kutayotgan politsiyaga olib kelishga rozi bo'ladi. Biroq, Keyxillning ancha yoshroq rafiqasi Steysi (Syuzan Oliver ), pulga ishtiyoqmand, bosqinchilarni ularning asl mohiyatini bilmasdan ogohlantiradi. Chet elliklar politsiyachilarni tutib o'ldirishadi. Vinsent radio orqali Keyxillni aeroport endi ularning nazorati ostida ekanligini ogohlantiradi; Kaxill, o'z xotiniga xiyonat qilganini tushunib, samolyotini Midlands akademiyasiga urib yubordi.

Falling off a horse, Laurie Keller (Antuanet Bauer ) is pronounced dead by a physician. He reports the death using a police phone, but he then sees the woman rise and is himself killed by three aliens. David Vincent, having read in the newspaper that the woman was reported alive by her husband, NORAD Major Dan Keller (Jeyson Evers ), suspects that she is an Invader: since the aliens have no pulse, an unconscious Invader could have been mistaken for dead.

Under an assumed identity, he joins a tour of the NORAD base under Cheyenne Mountain where Dan Keller works as a computer programmer. There, he is recognized by Major Stanhope (Simon Scott ), the base's intelligence officer, who lets him investigate.

John Carter (Dabni Koulman ) has called the local sheriff multiple times after witnessing saucers landing nearby again and again. Each time, the saucers are already gone when the sheriff arrives. David Vincent shows up and tests Carter's claim that he can predict the time of the next landing. When Carter's prediction proves correct, he and Vincent manage to capture the curiously unguarded saucer – proof at last! But one alien escapes and warns his comrades.

An old Korean war, U.S. Army friend of David Vincent's, Charlie Gilman (Don Gordon ) stands accused of murdering Fred Wilk, whose body has vaporized following a fight between them near an open incinerator. The local sergeant (Bill Sukert ) thinks that the body was just thrown inside the incinerator. District attorney Slater (Garold Gould ) is prosecuting and determined to convict. Local lawyer Barnard (Rassel Jonson ) is hired to defend Gilman, but he doesn't want any mention of aliens as it will spoil his defense. David Vincent is convinced that Wilk was an alien – and if necessary, David Vincent is prepared to use that in his friend's defense in court at the risk of jeopardizing the case. Wilk's wife (Lynda Day Jorj ) is an ex-lover of the accused Gilman and is called to the stand. She casts reasonable doubt on Wilk's being a human and thereby creates a conundrum for the judge (Malkolm Atterberi ).

Alien Courier Tom Jessup (Gen Hackman ) and his comrade aliens have just taken delivery from a saucer of a briefcase containing something vital: spores. These experimental organisms, properly nourished, will grow into more resilient and better-adapted aliens able to tolerate life on Earth. On encountering a random police road-block the aliens panic and in the ensuing chase by sergeant Ernie Goldhaver (Jon Randolf ), the aliens crash and Jessup manages to get free and hide the briefcase. As the sergeant arrives, two of the aliens vaporize in front of the sergeant and Jessup. Jessup is taken before police chief Mattson (Ueyn Rojers ) but denies all knowledge of anything whatsoever. Mattson, an alien, convinces Goldhaver that he was just imagining things.

An alien falls ill on the street and an ambulance is called by a concerned woman. On the way to the hospital the alien keeps repeating 'kavanaugh'. The ambulance is overtaken by two other aliens who kill the two medics and retrieve their comrade. David Vincent, on hearing that the two medics both died of cerebral hemorrhages, arrives to investigate. On questioning the woman he establishes that the alien was repeating the word 'kavanaugh' and also that a nearby company warehouse is called Kavanaugh. Vincent sneaks into the warehouse but is forced to hide in an empty upright locker. The locker is taken to a saucer after which Vincent lets himself out. But he subsequently blacks out under the tremendous acceleration forces of the ship's sudden takeoff. When he awakens, he discovers that he is alone and climbs down to ground in a rocky desolate location, not sure if he is still on Earth. After wandering some distance he encounters some student geologists with their professor Dr. John Devin (Uilyam Sargent ). Vincent tells them about the saucer and the students are unwilling to believe, but Dr. Devin feels obliged to investigate, even though the saucer has disappeared.

The Aliens have decided to play for high stakes and so start to raise the radiation levels on Earth. The only country unaffected is that of Premier Thor Halvorsen's (Eduard Franz ) country and the aliens under the disguise of saviors have convinced him that they have the antidote called 'AR5'. Halvorsen is convinced and calls for a summit of world leaders where they'll discuss rising levels of radiation that threaten all life on earth, thus advancing the aliens plans to kill all world leaders in the one place, thereby causing chaos to facilitate a coup d'état for the aliens. Halvorsen is unknowingly surrounded by aliens including their murderous leader Alquist (Maykl Renni ). Industrialist Michael Tressider (Uilyam Vindom ) is a crusader like Vincent and having worked with Vincent in the past, summons Vincent from his work site. Tressider has learned of an upcoming summit that many world leaders will attend and has put his trust in the Pentagon General Blaine (Ford Reynni ). Blaine, however has sided with the aliens and traps Tressider at an alien secret installation to find out just how much Tressider knows or might have told the President.

As the summit commences in a Baltic state from where the 'AR5' will be launched aboard a missile, David Vincent and Michael Tressider (Uilyam Vindom ) arrive and catch up with Ellie (Diana Xilland ) but she warns Vincent that they may be under surveillance and arranges to meet Vincent later in her room. They are in fact being shadowed by an alien who reports on their initial meeting. When Tressider and Vincent are granted an audience with Halvorsen, they are shocked to learn that Halvorsen already knows that Alquist (Maykl Renni ) is an alien and is well aware of the Invaders' presence on Earth. Alquist confidently reaffirms his position with Halvorsen, but Vincent accuses the unflappable Alquist of being a murderer, something that Halvorsen finds absurd, as Halvorsen only sees Alquist as the savior from the global radiation. Ellie tells Vincent about a file held by Alquist, which details his murderous plans, but when Vincent enters the room of Alquist's 'aides' he doesn't find any file and has to kill one of the alien assistants to escape. Tressider meets with the military chief but has no success with convincing him as to the aliens' plans. Meanwhile Alquist is holding a press conference regarding the antidote 'AR5' during which Vincent grabs a briefcase belong to Alquist.

David Vincent arrives at an evangelical meeting to investigate a 'prophet' who apparently glows red in similar fashion to that of dying aliens. The prophet Brother Avery (Pat Xingl ) does indeed put on a glowing display but is led away by fellow aliens under the watchful eye of Brother John (Richard O'Brayen ) to a regeneration van parked outside of the backstage area. As Vincent tries to get close he is diverted away to a safe distance by 'security' guards. Vincent contacts a local journalist Bill Shay (Rojer Perri ) who, unknown to Vincent, is an alien and who warns Brother John. Vincent also seeks to infiltrate the faithful by introducing himself to Sister Claire (Zina Betune ).

David Vincent brings an unconscious alien to a Doctor Thorne where X-ray scans show a fake bone structure. As Vincent discusses this with the Doctor's wife Mrs. Thorne (an X-ray technician), the alien wakes up and causes the doctor to have a stroke using a small disc-shaped device. David scuffles with the alien and kills him. Vincent then takes the X-ray scans to a prominent University that has been getting funding for UFO research, but the aliens set up a bogus meeting as imposters and acquire the scans quietly from him. When Vincent divulges that he has a backup set of scans he is brought to the airport next day by a bogus alien taxi driver who tries to swap David's luggage. Vincent thwarts this plan and then calls the professors Dr. Samuel Crowell (Ed Begli ) and Dr. Harry Mills (Jeyms T. Kallaxan ) again, after which he realizes he has been duped by imposters when the real professors claim that they haven't met Vincent yet and are expecting him. When Vincent arrives at the office again, he meets the real professors, but is immediately suspicious of Crowell's daughter Laura (Salli Kellerman ) when he notices a suspicious-looking scar over her right fifth metacarpal. His suspicions are strengthened when he discovers that Dr. Crowell has only been reunited recently with his daughter.

At a Foreign Delegation to the United Nations building, an alien intruder Sanders (Don Dubbinlar ) tries to rob a safe with security information on troop movements in Asia, but he is interrupted by UN security staff and shot but only injured in the scuffle. The internal doctor Dr. Katherina Serret (Dana Vynter ) cannot find a pulse and pronounces the intruder dead, whereupon he soon recovers. After further medical examination Dr. Serret declares that he is not human, much to the shock of the delegation leader Deputy Ambassador Borke (Fritz Uayver ). However, Dr. Serret, knowing something of David Vincent, sends for Vincent to get advice, but Borke is a paranoid man on the edge and is confused as to whether the intruder is an alien or just a 'home-grown' spy robot? Vincent pleads with Borke to turn the alien over to the military, but Borke has other ideas and instead imprisons David Vincent together with the alien. The alien Sanders is well aware of Vincent's history and Sanders suspecting that the cell is bugged by Borke, tries to implicate Vincent in a plot by making out that Vincent is a comrade. Vincent finds the bugging device and rips it apart, at which point Sanders tells Vincent that it won't be long before 'his people' come to rescue him.

David Vincent has finally gathered some serious support in his quest to stop the invaders in the form of industrialist Edgar Scoville (Kent Smit ). As Vincent holds a secret meeting with his 'believers', Scoville (at another location) promises some heavyweight support and financial backing. However, the aliens are onto Vincent at his location in Singeiser Electronics and as Vincent exits the building with some believers, they are shot at and three of their number are killed including Mr. Singeiser. Vincent escapes with his briefcase to a car, but he is chloroformed from the back seat by an alien. Vincent wakes up in what seems to be an underground alien prison camp where Vincent resists alien hypnosis, divulging only fake details about the group of believers. When that fails, the aliens stage a 'dummy' rescue attempt, but Vincent quickly sees through it. David is then put into general circulation in the alien prison where he is befriended by Elyse (Kerol Lilli ). Vincent believes that she is also a 'captured' human and she explains that she is doing forced research for the aliens on crowd control. Together they plot an escape and when Elyse distracts a guard, they get out of the building through an air vent.

David Vincent is summoned by a Bob Torin (Entoni Eisli ) who has seen strange alien activity at an abandoned ski lodge. He and Vincent arrive to investigate and as they get near the aliens' regeneration chambers in a disused outbuilding they are fired on by an alien guard. On getting inside they tussle with two more aliens and kill them, but a third alien leader (Alfred Rayder ) calls on the guard to stop firing just as Torin gets injured. Vincent and Torin then capture the obviously important alien leader with the intention of bringing him to Washington and the alien leader only has seven hours before regeneration is required. The alien guard then alerts his cronies.

As Vincent and Torin travel back to Washington they take a break at a motel and David calls Edgar Scoville (Kent Smit ). Scoville tells Vincent to take the alien leader to Belding Army Base and to ask for Colonel Gentry (Jon Grem ). Scoville sets out to meet Vincent at the army base. However, the aliens, desperate to rescue their leader, are following Vincent and Torin along the road and finally catch up with them at the motel. When the police also turn up at the motel, the aliens trick the police into leaving by labeling it a prank summons, but in the meantime Vincent and Torin and their alien captive get away on foot from the motel. Vincent sends Torin to Belding Army Base to meet Colonel Gentry. Meanwhile Vincent takes the alien to a farmhouse to get Help.

At the behest of Bob Ferrara (Jon Lasell ), who is one of the group of seven believers, David is meeting publishing magnate William Mace (Martin Volfson ) and his secretary June Murray (Nensi Kovak ). Vincent and Edgar Scoville (Kent Smit ) are keen to get Mace on their side, especially as Mace feels that his organization has been losing quite a number of its good top executives. Several of Mace's aides, including Mace's nephew Jeremy (Linden Chiles ) scoff at the idea of aliens, but Mace calls Scoville saying that he is willing to let Vincent investigate. John Nivin (Jon Stivenson ) is also a close aide of Mace's, but he is an alien reporting to Lund (Frank Mart ). The aliens want control of the Publishing Organization so Lund starts by kidnapping Mace and his nephew Jeremy. Lund kills Mace and, knowing that Jeremy is having an affair with June, threatens to also eliminate June unless Jeremy (the new heir of the publishing organization) fully cooperates by putting Lund in control as chief executive.

Lund, having killed Mace, fakes a car accident, after which David starts to tackle Jeremy for the truth. As the aliens take control, Vincent and Ferrara try to enlist the help of June to get through to Jeremy, knowing that Jeremy is weak and under pressure from the aliens. As Vincent, Ferrara and June approach a prearranged meeting with Jeremy at night, Nivin and another alien come out and shoot at them, killing Ferrara. Vincent kills the alien but misses Nivin. Meanwhile, Jeremy has been taken to Lund's 'fishing lodge' and when June finds this out, she persuades Vincent to bring her there, but they must approach cautiously as Lund and his fellow aliens, including Nivin, are there also.

At the Willard Sanitarium, a place of rest and convalescence, Dr. Martin Willard (Maykl Konstantin ) is working with the aliens and his brother Dr. Ted Willard (Maykl Tolan ) is also cooperating but is not fully committed. Ted breaks into a laboratory by night to try to get a particular file but is confronted by alien Adam Lane (Uilyam Smiters ) who overcomes Ted after a struggle. Just as Adam is about to kill Ted with an alien disc weapon, his brother Martin appears and dissuades Adam from doing anything rash. Adam then plants a device in Ted's head, with Martin's agreement, supposedly in the cause of research, but the device is causing Ted to be confused in his memory and actions. Martin is very protective of Ted, who happens to be an old friend of David Vincent's. As Ted recuperates at home after the lab incident he is cared for by Martin who wants to make sure to keep aliens away from Ted.

Devid Vinsent doktor Kramer bilan musofirlarning signallarini siqib chiqarib, musofirlarga qarshi kurashni rivojlantirish uchun ishlamoqda. Kechasi ular Kramer binosidan chiqib ketayotganlarida, ularga ikki musofir hujum qilmoqda. Vinsent ikkalasi ham janjalda o'lgan musofirlarni engishga muvaffaq bo'ldi, ammo doktor Kramer ham o'ldirildi. Kramerning muhim materiali bo'lgan portfelini Devid binoning qo'riqchisi kelganda oladi, Vinsent qo'riqchiga tez yordam chaqirishni buyuradi. Vinsent o'zga sayyoraliklarning qurollaridan birini saqlaydi. Devidni Edgar Skovil olib ketmoqda (Kent Smit ) do'sti Kramerning o'limi haqida kim biladi. Skovil Vinsentni imonlilar yig'ilishiga olib boradi, u erda polkovnik Archi Harmon bilan tanishtiriladi (Lin Makkarti ) Skovillning do'sti, ammo begona skeptik va guruhning bir qismi emas. Uchrashuvda Skovil portfel materialini o'zining bosh muhandisi va guruh a'zosi Jim Braysga topshirdi (Jon Milford ) Kramer vafot etganidan keyin materialni ilgari surish bo'yicha ko'rsatmalar bilan. Skovilning jiyani Joan (Ahna Kapri ) guruhning yana bir a'zosi.

Ayni paytda leytenant Konnors boshchiligidagi detektivlar (Ken Linch ) Kramer vafot etgan joyga etib kelishgan va Dovudni ta'qib qilishganda, uni so'roq qilish uchun ushlab turishga qaror qilishgan. Ular Vensentni Kramerni o'ldirganlikda va uning portfelini olganlikda ayblashmoqda. Shuningdek, ular Dovudning mashinasida begonaning sukut saqlagan revolverini topishadi. Lucien boshchiligidagi musofirlar (Donald Devis ), ammo Vinsentni hatto politsiya bo'limida ham diqqat bilan kuzatib borishmoqda. Joan Dovudni bekatga tashrif buyurib, Vinsentga Skovil hali ham Kramerning o'limidan xafa ekanligini va u Vinsentga yordam berishni istamasligini aytadi. Noma'lum advokat Devidni qo'yib yuborganida, Vinsent Kramerning ayblovi bilan bog'liq yomon reklama tufayli uni qurilish loyihasidan bo'shatilganini aniqladi. U Luiza bilan do'st bo'lgan joyda qayg'ularini cho'ktirish uchun barga boradi (Pamela Kurran ). U sigaret qutisini tinglash moslamasi bilan almashtirgan musofir. Dovud esa, u nima qilganini tushungan va tushunganidek ilmoqli emas. Vinsent o'zini hamma yuvilganga o'xshatganidan keyin o'zini Lyusen olib ketishga imkon beradi.

Juda sirli Slaton tadqiqot markazida professor Julian Rid (Charlz Aidman ) o'zga sayyoraliklar borligi to'g'risida paranoyak ko'rinadi va aftidan xayolparast fikrlardan yugurib balkonga qulaydi. U psixiatriya muassasasiga yotqizilishidan oldin Devid Vinsentni chaqirishga muvaffaq bo'ldi. Vinsent Julianning rafiqasi doktor Pat Ridga qo'ng'iroq qiladi (Joanne Linville ), u ham markazda ishlaydi. U Vinsentni qolishga taklif qiladi, lekin u shunchaki kichik o'g'li Frenki haqida qayg'uraman degan biron bir narsani muhokama qilishni istamaydi. Keyin Vinsent Julianni kasalxonaga chaqiradi, u erda Julian Vinsentga musofirlarning "orzular" haqidagi tadqiqotlarni kuzatayotgani yoki nazorat qilayotganiga aminligini aytadi. Vinsent doktor Jon Slatonning oldiga boradi (Simon Scott ), lekin u musofirlarning har qanday gaplarini bekor qiladi va Vinsentga "tush mashinasi" laboratoriyasida o'z savollarini berishga imkon beradi. Laboratoriyada Jeff Brower (Donald Xarron ) yurak urishini o'qiydigan ba'zi uskunalarni sinovdan o'tkazmoqda va Devid hazillashib Broverni sinab ko'rmoqda va Broverning odam ekanligidan mamnun.

Keyin Vinsent va Pat kasalxonada Julianni ziyorat qilish uchun borishadi va Devid Julianga Brouerning begona emasligini aytganda, Julian relapsga uchraydi va Vinsentni o'zga sayyoralikda ayblaydi. Vinsent shaharni tark etishga va Patni orqaga qaytarishga qaror qildi. Ammo kelganda, ular qo'riqchiga it hujum qilganini ko'rishadi. Qo'riqchi yomon muomala qilinganidan keyin yuguradi, lekin keyinchalik u o'ladi va bug'lanadi. Pat hali ham eri Julianning musofirlarga nisbatan haqligini qabul qilishni istamayapti. Keyin Vinsent Frenkidan otasi yopiq ko'ngilochar bog'i atrofida aylanib yurganini bilib oladi, shuning uchun Vinsent u nima topishi mumkinligini bilish uchun u erga boradi.

Gumon qilingan likopcha halokatida yuk kemasi tomonidan begona chiqindilar topildi. Jurnalist Mayk Kalvinning buyrug'i bilan (Kris Robinson ) Devid Vinsent uni tasdiqlangan kemada kutib olish uchun faqat dalillar olib tashlanganligini bilish uchun keladi. Vinsent va Kalvinga boshqa bir narsani - giyohvand moddalarni qidirayotgan ikki kishi hujum qiladi va Kalvin qochib ketayotganda Vinsentni qo'lga olishadi va noma'lum joyga olib borishadi, u erda u so'roq qilishning kuchaytirilgan texnikasi bilan shug'ullanadi. Skovil Kalvin bilan uchrashish va Mob rahbari Piter Kalter tomonidan olib ketilgan Devidni qidirish uchun keladi (J. D. Kannon ) kim shunchaki o'z narkotiklarini etkazib berishni tiklashdan manfaatdor. Vinsent o'zining giyohvand moddalar haqida hech narsa bilmasligini va Kalvin bilan birga qatl qilinishini aytayotgani kabi, Kalter Skovil va ba'zi soqchilar voqea joyiga etib kelganida to'xtaydi.

Kalter allaqachon Skovillni taniqli sanoatchi sifatida biladi va uning giyohvand moddasini yuborgan musofirlar haqidagi voqeani qiziqtiradi. U Skovilga yordam berishni taklif qiladi, ammo rad javobini oladi. Kalter Boss Weller tashkilotining bosimi ostida (Larri Geyts ), shuning uchun Kalter nihoyat Vinsentni o'zaro manfaatdorlik bilan hamkorlik qilishga ishontiradi, bu esa Skovilning ko'nglini og'ritdi. Kalter Vinsent bilan birga Boss Weller bilan uchrashganda, Kalter uning yordamchilaridan biri yolg'on gapirganini bilib oladi. Yordamchining o'ldirilishi bilan tugaydigan janjal bor.

Devid Vinsent va polkovnik Harmon (Lin Makkarti ) begonani ushlashdi va so'roq qilish uchun Armiya shtab-kvartirasiga olib kelishdi. Chet ellik odamni kameraga yotqizishadi, ammo soxta begona ofitser unga bug'lanib ketishiga imkon beradigan tabletkani surib qo'yadi. Soxta ofitser yugurishga urinayotganda uni o'qqa tutishadi va bug'lanib ketmoqda, bu Top General Concannon (Jeyms Deyli ). General, musofirlarning borligiga ishonch hosil qilib, Vinsentdan begona rahbarlar bilan uchrashuv tashkil qilishni so'raydi. Skovil voqea joyiga o'zi tanigan va yoqtirmaydigan general Konkannon bilan uchrashish uchun keladi. General Concannon, musofirlar tinchlik kelishuviga kelmasa, harbiylar Yerni yo'q qilish uchun ishlatiladigan "qiyomat kuni" qurilmasi borligini taklif qilib, musofirlarni muzokaralar stoliga majburlashni taklif qilmoqda. General ikki yuzli bezoridir va u uyqusida gaplashmoqda, bu uning rafiqasi Sara Konkannonni bezovta qilmoqda (Filis Takster ), kimdir general vaqti-vaqti bilan (va hayratda qoldiradigan) yomon munosabatda.

Chet elliklar rahbari (Alfred Rayder ) uchrashuvga rozi, lekin u shubhali va generalning uyida polkovnik Harmon bilan uchrashuvga qaytib kelayotganida Devid unga ergashgan. General, ammo omarni iste'mol qilganidan keyin kasal bo'lib, uyda yotadi. General Konkannon avvaliga o'zga sayyoraliklar tomonidan zaharlanganini his qiladi va muzokaralarni to'xtatadi. Vinsent chet elliklarning etakchisiga qaytib kelib, muzokaralar hozircha tugaganligini, ammo u ularni qayta boshlashga harakat qilishini ma'lum qiladi. Keyin general Sarani uni zaharlaganlikda ayblamoqda. U buni u uyqusida gaplashayotgan paytida uning rejalari haqida eshitgandan keyin uni musofirlar bilan uchrashuvga borishiga to'sqinlik qilmoqchi bo'lganligi bilan tan oladi.

Devid Vinsent va Edgar Skovil (Kent Smit ) o'zga sayyoraliklar garaj xizmatchisiga portfelni qo'yib yuboradigan chet elliklarning uchib ketish nuqtasini kuzatmoqdalar. Vinsent xizmatkorning orqasidan yurib, portfelni olish uchun u bilan janjallashadi. Skovil boshqa musofirni qochib ketishiga to'sqinlik qilishga urinadi, ammo bosqinchi qochib ketadi. Vinsent chet ellik xizmatchini o'ldirganda, bug'lanish garajda kichik yong'inni keltirib chiqaradi va portfel tarkibiga zarar etkazadi. Shunga qaramay, Vinsent chet elliklar Vashingtondagi yuqori hukumat doiralariga kirib kelganligini va bitta muhim begona Arnold Uorren (Roscoe Lee Browne ) kim tasodifan qora tanli bo'lsa, kosmosni kuzatishning muhim loyihasini boshqarishi va shu bilan chet elliklarning qo'nishini osonlashtirishi kerak. Biroq, uning yo'lida turgan sobiq politsiyachi va endi senat tergovchisi Jeyms Baxter (Raymond Sent-Jak ), shuningdek, qora tanli odam.

Vinsent Baxterni Uorrenni chuqurroq tergov qilishga ishontirishga urinadi, ammo Baxter Vinsentning o'zga sayyoraliklar haqidagi g'oyalarini masxara qiladi. Shunga qaramay, Baxter shubhali bo'lib qolmoqda. Baxterning rafiqasi Seliya (Janet MacLachlan ) barchasi Uorrenning ko'tarilishi uchundir, chunki u bizning jamiyatimizda ko'proq negrlarni ko'tarilishini istaydi. Vinsent Baxterga ko'proq bosim o'tkazadi, u Skovil bilan video aloqaga kirishga rozi bo'ladi, shundan keyin u kamroq shubha qiladi. Vinsent Uorrenning taxmin qilingan otasiga tashrif buyurib, ko'proq dalillarni yig'ishga harakat qiladi, bu vaqt davomida Vinsentni ikkita soxta begona politsiyachilar burchakda ushlab turishadi. Politsiyachilardan biri vafot etdi va janjalda bug'lanib ketdi, Vinsent yordam so'rab Bakterni chaqirgan barda yashirinishga majbur bo'ldi. Celia Baxter telefonga "noto'g'ri raqam" deb javob beradi, keyin Dovudni eridan uzoqlashtirishga harakat qilib, telefonni o'chiradi.

Bet Fergyuson (Barbara Xersi ) yigiti Riki bilan aldanmoqda (Robert Bixeller ), yangi Meksikadagi diniy ma'bad yaqinida. U poyabzalini yo'qotmoqda va yalangoyoq diniy ma'badga qarab yuribdi. Chet ellik muhim kristalli moslamani almashtirish uchun yaqin atrofda kutmoqda, lekin uni a tishlab oladi jingalak ilon, uning bug'lanishiga olib keladi. O'limidan oldin u kristalni Betga "U buning uchun keladi" deb uzatadi. Bet barcha voqealarni Xudoning mo''jizasi deb biladi. Yigit Riki bu voqeaga guvoh emas. Devid Vinsent ziyoratgoh va uyqusiragan shaharni o'rganish uchun keladi va Betning otasi Garri joylashgan barga tushadi (Edvard Asner ) namoyish etilgan va bir necha mahalliy aholi tomonidan mehr bilan tomosha qilinayotgan billur bor. Yosh 10 yoshli etim bola Jonni (Kristofer Shea ) g'alati ishlarni bajarayotgan Garrining atrofida muallaq bo'lib, sodir bo'layotgan hamma narsaga burni bilan quloq soladi. Vinsent Garriga billur uchun pul taklif qiladi va ikkalasini ham musofirlar tomosha qilmoqda. Vinsent va Garri narxlarni muhokama qilayotganda, musofir jimgina kristalni o'g'irlashga harakat qilmoqda. Janjal kelib, musofir qochib ketadi. Garri kristalni olishga muvaffaq bo'ldi, ammo endi uni ko'proq qiymatga ega deb biladi.

Chet ellik uning muvaffaqiyatsizligi haqida xabar berish uchun yuguradi, ammo Dovud uni ta'qib qiladi. O'zga sayyoraliklar o'zlarini yo'q qilishadi, bug'lanib ketishadi va deyarli Vinsentni o'zlari bilan olib ketishadi. Vinsent barga qaytgach, Bet kristalning sotilishiga veto qo'yadi, bu Garrini xafa qildi. U haqiqatan ham pulga muhtoj, chunki bar asta-sekin ishlamay qolmoqda. U Vensent shaharchadan o'tayotganda uni yana bir bor foydasiz deb ishontirishga urinadi va keyin ba'zi yomon odamlar unga va otasiga zarar etkazishi mumkinligi haqida ogohlantiradi. U mo'ysafid bo'lib qolmoqda. Bet barda billurni namoyish qilayotganda, Ota Pol (Arch Jonson ) voqea joyiga etib keladi va faqat cherkov mo''jizalarni e'lon qilayotganini aytib, Baytni qo'pol namoyishga chorlaydi. Vinsent yana taklif qiladi, ammo Garri narxni ancha oshiradi. Keyin Vinsent Manxettenning bankidan pul o'tkazmasini amalga oshirish uchun keyingi yirik shaharchaga borishi kerak.

Keyt deb nomlangan musofir (Barri Mors ) o'lmoqda va yangilanishga muhtoj va uni Kler ()Diana Muldaur ) tezlashayotgan mashinada regeneratsiya nuqtasiga. Avtomobil tezlik chegarasini buzganda, uni patrul xodimi Djo Nash ta'qib qilmoqda (Stiven Bruks ) avtomagistral bo'ylab tezyurar mashinani kim to'xtatadi. Haydovchi vahimaga tushib, patrulmanni o'qqa tutadi va tan jarohati etkazadi, ammo patrulman bug'lanib ketayotgan haydovchini otib o'ldiradi. Kler avtomashinani kasal bo'lgan Keyt bilan birga patrulman Djo yerda jarohat olgan holda qoldirib ketmoqda. Devid Vinsent tergov qilish uchun keladi, ammo patrulmanni hamkorlik qilmagan va uning kapitani Bill Batterseyani topadi (R.G. Armstrong ) hozirda g'alati yoki g'ayritabiiy biron bir narsani ko'rganligini inkor etayotgan Joning juda dushmanligi va himoyasi.

Kapitan Batterseyda hamma joyda yo'l to'siqlari o'rnatilgan, shuning uchun Keyt va Klerning o'zga sayyoraliklari endi mahkam bog'lanib, chiqish yo'lini qidirmoqdalar. Batterseyga yordam berish uchun ikkita maxsus agent keladi, kapitan Trent (Artur Franz ) va uning yordamchisi Roulings (Morgan Jons ). Keyt va Kler yangilanish uskunalarini eski fermer uyida saqlashadi. Ular Dovudni jalb qilgan holda qochish rejasini ishlab chiqishdi va uni ferma uyiga jalb qilishdi. Ular boshqa musofirlar tomonidan ta'qib qilinayotgan bosqinga qarshi dissident ajnabiymiz va ularning yordamiga muhtojmiz, deb da'vo qiladilar. Vinsent shubhali va qurollangan, shuning uchun Keyt va Klerni yo'q qilish uchun boshqa ikki musofir kelganida, Vinsent ularni qutqarish uchun aralashadi. Keyin Vinsent vaziyatni baholash uchun Edgar Skovillni chaqiradi va u darhol uchib ketadi. Keyin Vinsent kapitan Batterseyani qishloq xo'jaligi uyiga olib boradi, u erda Kler Batterseni gipnoz qilar ekan, ularning hammasini politsiya qurshovidan chiqarib yuborish uchun.

Anne Gibbs (Suzanna Pleshette ) zo'ravonlik g'azabiga moyil bo'lgan musofir ayol va uni begona Jon Korvin ta'qib qilmoqda (Gen Lionlar ) sobiq politsiya sherifi Xank Uillisga tegishli bo'lgan Sycamore Guesthouse-ga (Will Geer ). Politsiya e'tiborini tortishi mumkin bo'lgan dissident ajnabiy Anne, Devid Vinsent bilan uchrashishni rejalashtirdi, chunki u qusur qiladi va hayotiy ma'lumot beradi. Chet elliklar Vinsent kelguniga qadar uni tutib olishadi va Xankning rafiqasi, resepsiyachi Xetti Uillis uni ta'qib qiluvchilardan yashiradi. Chet elliklar boshqa joyga ketganlaridan so'ng, Xetti sherifga qo'ng'iroq qilmoqchi bo'lib, natijada janjal kelib chiqadi, Ann esa Xattini g'azab bilan o'ldiradi.

Mahalliy politsiya kapitan Tom Xollouey ostida keladi (Dana Elkar ) va chet elliklar dezinformatsiya yordamida vaziyatni chalg'itishga urinish uchun qaytib kelishadi. Vinsent ham keladi va Enndan qo'ng'iroq qiladi, ammo uning mahalliy antiqa buyumlar do'konida joylashganligini Xank eshitgan. Vinsentni antiqa buyumlar do'koniga Anvinni Korvin uchun tutib olmoqchi bo'lgan musofir kuzatadi, ammo Vinsent bilan janjaldan so'ng u o'ladi va bug'lanib ketadi. Vinsent Edgar Skovillga qo'ng'iroq qildi (Kent Smit Vensentga Annni Keyp Vyu nomli shaharga olib borishni buyurgan, u erda professor Charlz MakKey bilan uchrashish kerak (Richard O'Brayen ) va uning o'g'li Eddi (Maykl Makgrivi ). Scoville vertolyotni ularni beysbol maydonida olib ketishni tashkil qiladi. Ayni paytda Hank Vincent va Anne parvoz qilayotgan paytda antiqa buyumlar do'koniga keladi. Hokimiyat vakili sifatida o'zini tanishtirgan begona Korvin ham Xankga undan chetda qolishini aytmoqda.

Devid Vinsent va Edgar Skovil (Kent Smit ) senator Breeding bilan uchrashmoqdalar (Aleks Gerri ) senatorning do'sti Artur Koy har doim taniqli likopchaning faoliyati atrofida bo'lishiga o'zlarining shubhalarini bildirish uchun. Chorvachilik bularning hech birini eshitmaydi, ammo Vinsent va Skovil ketgandan so'ng, senatorni ishxonasida o'ldirgan portlash sodir bo'ldi. Vinsent va Skovillni tuman prokurori Endryu Xetcher oldiga chaqirishadi (Mark Richman ) ambitsiyalari bo'lgan odam. Xetcher do'sti jurnalist Joan Sili (Syuzan Oliver ) suhbatga o'tirish. Ammo Sili, o'tgan voqealar tufayli, unga nisbatan ishonchsiz, chunki Xetcher ko'pincha jurnalistlarni o'z maqsadlariga muvofiq ravishda boshqaradi. Sili Vinsent va Skovil qaerda joylashganligini bilib, ularni Xetcherga ishonmaslik kerakligi to'g'risida ogohlantirish uchun bordi. Vinsent unga Skovil tomonidan qurilgan kuzatuv uskunalarining bir qismini ko'rsatdi. Sili Xetcherga qaytib, uni Skovil va Vinsentni jinoiy javobgarlikka tortmaslikka ishontirish uchun qaytadi. Biroq, Xetcher katta hakamlar hay'ati uchun ishni boshlashga qaror qildi. Xetcher bomba faqat Scoville zavodlari tomonidan ishlab chiqarilgan materiallardan tayyorlanganligini aniqlaydi, ammo bu etarli emas.

Xetcher ko'proq dalillarga muhtoj va uning ishi ma'lum bir doktor Stenli Frederikson (Robert H. Xarris ), o'zini imonlilar qatorida deb da'vo qilmoqda, lekin ularga qarshi guvohlik berishdan mamnun bo'ladi. Boland (Jon Milford ), Skovil va Vinsent Koy Parijga shaharni tark etmoqchi ekanliklarini bilishdi, shuning uchun Vinsent va Sili Koyni tuzog'iga ilintirish uchun Koyning uyiga bostirib kirishdi. U kelib, seyfini ochganda, avvalroq o'zga sayyoralik sherigi bergan konvertni olib, Vinsent konvertni talab qiladi va Koy o'ldirilgan janjal kelib chiqadi. Uning keyingi o'zini o'zi yoqib yuborishi Sleylini begona tahdid haqiqat ekanligiga ishontirish uchun etarli. Ertasi kuni Frederikson katta hakamlar hay'atiga yolg'on gapirib, imonlilar allaqachon naslchilikni o'ldirishga qaror qilishganini aytmoqda. Sili tinglovni tark etib, Frederikson haqida hech qachon eshitmagan Vinsentga xabar berish uchun boradi va u musofirlar endi imonlilar kimligini bilishini tushunadi. Ayni paytda, Boland chet elliklarning yaqinda sodir bo'ladigan hujum rejalarini kompyuterning shifrini ochish dasturi yordamida qisman buzdi. Sili Xetcherni Vinsentni ziyorat qilishga va tinglashga undaydi va ular Xatcherga Koydan olgan rejalarini ko'rsatib berishdi. Xetcher o'zini ma'qul ko'rsata oladi va orqaga qaytishini aytadi, lekin ertasi kuni u barcha imonlilarni ayblaydi.

Imonlilarni hibsga olish uchun kafillar qasamyod qilmoqdalar va Siti ularni ogohlantirish uchun bordi. Dindorlarga podvalidagi kompyuterlardan yaxshiroq kompyuter kerak, shuning uchun Scoville tadqiqot muassasasida zaxira nusxasini etkazib beradi. Politsiya yetib keladi, xuddi ular uydan chiqib ketishganda va Skovil yarador bo'lsa ham, Boland va Vinsent qochib ketishadi. Seli Xetcher bilan namoyish o'tkazishga qaytib ketdi, ammo u hali ham izlanishda to'xtamaydi. Xetcher Sleylini Frederikson bilan xavfsiz joyda kutib olish uchun olib boradi, ammo ular etib kelishganida, Frederikondan hammomdagi kuldan boshqa hech narsa qolmaydi. Shu bilan birga, Boland va Vinsent Skovilning tadqiqot muassasasi atrofida ko'rilganligi haqida xabarlar keladi. Xetcher politsiyaga ularni qo'lga olishni buyuradi.
