Stranger from Venus

I tell you I was doing 390 miles an hour,

and it shot past me on my starboard.

I thought I was standing still.

Was it a jet plane?

No, more like a comet or something.

It probably was a comet.

Yeah, you ever hear of a comet

turning around and coming back?

Well, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

I wouldn't worry too much.

The explanation should be quite simple.

Hello, yes.

We interrupt to bring you

an important news bulletin.

People have been asking us to identify

a strange phenomena of light in the sky.

At this time we have no positive explanation.

However, there is no cause for fear.

We are in contact with our Air Force,

and the National Observatory

who are checking the phenomena.

As soon as we have authoritative information,

we will inform our listeners.

We now continue with our musical program.

No.

No, I haven't, Mr. Walker.

No, Mr. Walker, she hasn't been here.

Why, yes, of course.

Oh, I'm sure nothing has happened to her.

Oh, I you expect she was just delayed a few minutes.

Right.

Goodbye.

I do hope nothing's happened to Miss North.

Well, what could have happened to her?

Her fiance Mr. Walker's at the station.

She's supposed to have picked him up there 20 minutes ago.

Maybe she's met another man.

He phoned her home.

She left an hour ago.

The station's only a few minutes away from her house.

I'm beginning to worry.

And I'm beginning to worry that Dr. Meinard

will begin to worry that he won't get his beer.

So, let's stop worrying, shall we?

I still think something must have--

Thank you, my dear.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Would you like something to eat?

I would not like to eat.

I would like something to drink.

Wine?

Beer?

That.

Good evening.

My name's Tom Hardy.

Good evening.

I do not like this taste.

Can I stay here?

Do you have a room?

Well, I have got a lot of people coming in tomorrow.

Well, I guess, I can manage a small room for you.

The rate will be two and a half a night.

I have no money.

Well, I'm afraid I can't extend credit.

Can I earn my keep

by doing some work for you?

The garden needs a lot of work.

You've said so many times.

I like very much to work

on your flowers and shrubs,

and besides your daughter seems to want me to stay.

How do you know she's my daughter?

I know.

Well, I suppose you can have room number four.

By the way, I didn't get your name.

I have no name.

When I man pays his taxes, he has to give his name.

Everyone has to pay his taxes.

I have never paid taxes.

Do you feel well, young man?

Yes, very well.

Are you sure?

Sometimes our bodies can deceive us.

Sometimes we think we're in perfect health,

and all the while,

our systems are crying out for...

My friend,

you have no pulse.

Well, there're only two possibilities.

I am drunk,

or you are dead.

Oh, my god!

Wait!

It may be better if I take a look first.

Miss North isn't here!

She must have walked away.

That is possible, isn't it, Bill?

Mr. Walker, I've seen a lot of wrecks in my life.

No one can walk away from this one.

Well, someone must have found her and taken her to the hospital.

We've checked all the hospitals.

Well, where is she?

We'll get out a general alarm, Mr. Walker.

Well, I'm afraid from the look of this,

you'd better be prepared.

Can't understand it, Captain.

We've checked all the hospitals.

Yes, and her neighborhood we went over it very carefully.

Yes, I've made a radio check.

No, nothing yet.

Captain, this is Arthur Walker,

Undersecretary to the Ministry of State.

Miss North is my fiance.

I beg you to take all measures you possibly can.

If necessary, a search party--

I would not worry about the young lady, Mr. Walker.

She's reasonably safe.

Gretchen, would you please bring me something to drink?

But not beer this time.

Captain, I have to call you back.

How do you know she's alright?

What do you know?

I know that Miss North is not in any danger.

I beg your pardon, sir,

but this is a very serious situation.

Would you please tell us what you do know?

I have told you.

Where is she?

What have you done with her?

Now, look here, my friend.

This girl has been in a terrible accident.

She's disappeared.

I think, you should tell us all you know.

What's your name?

He says he has no name.

In my opinion, this is man is either an amnesia case or insane.

He must have something to do with Miss North's disappearance.

I advise you to arrest him.

Could I have a word with you, sir?

Try one of these.

Maybe you'll like one.

You better tell them what you know, sir.

They can be awfully insistent.

I think, we better take you down to headquarters.

We'd like our questions answered.

Very good.

But that's plain water.

Come on, you heard what I said.

Let's go.

- I would rather not leave this-- - It isn't a matter of choice.

- Well, go on grab him! - I can't!

What do you mean you can't?

No wait.

Susan.

Let me have a look at her.

Gretchen, get me some brandy please.

I don't understand it.

Were you in another accident a couple of weeks ago?

No, Doctor.

But these scars couldn't possibly be the result

of an accident that occurred tonight.

They've almost healed.

Thank you.

What happened, Susan?

Can you tell me?

I was in the car

going to meet you.

Suddenly, I couldn't see the road in front of me.

The light was intense.

The headlights of another car?

I'm not sure what it was.

I lost control of the car.

It was a terrible crash,

like a hundred burning hammers striking all at once.

I knew that I was dying.

And then someone came.

I remember I felt no more pain.

My head cleared.

I can't remember anymore.

I tried to.

It was you.

Is that true?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell us before?

Perhaps you can explain how these

severe wounds are already healing?

I helped her.

I was there immediately after the accident.

Are you a doctor?

No.

- Well, I-- - Who are you?

I've traveled a great distance.

Our craft was about to land.

We needed our lights to do so.

I saw how they blinded you.

As soon as I set foot on your ground,

I came to you and treated your wounds.

The scars will disappear.

What craft are you talking about?
