Invasion

Didn't know my own strength.

That was odd.

What happened?

What is it?

It's very quiet, sir.

Last subject was?

What's this Lloyd?

2300.

Yes sir.

Couldn't you, couldn't you be neater?

It's the ballpoint, sir.

It was the car ferry to Tucay.

Should be back any minute.

They run all night from now to September.

You know, Lloyd,

if the Russians start to invade

you'll be sitting here watching that radar

and telling me it's the car ferry 20 minutes early.

Yes, sir.

Here she comes now, sir.

Back to the mortgage.

The eight four to town,

and the flowers, and the greenhouse.

That's a bit odd.

What is?

Well she's off beam, sir.

Look, can you see it?

No, that's much too small for a plane.

Call control

Alpha Bravo, calling control.

Alpha Bravo, calling control.

I can't get them here, sir.

Coming this way, look.

8000.

That's ridiculous.

What do you think, sir?

What do you think we should do?

Much too small for a plane.

Less than 5000 now.

It could be a fuel tank.

It happened in Alaska last year.

Of a car ferry.

This thing is flying not falling.

The Russians haven't sent anything up recently, have they?

No, not at all.

And the Americans not until the...

That was odd.

The battery doesn't suddenly cut out like that.

- I'm glad we didn't get stranded on a night like this.

Is he dead?

Is he?

No, he's still alive.

Funny clothes.

Is it a fancy dress? - No.

Look, let's go.

Can't we leave him?

He looks all right to me.

Let's go before we get mixed up in anything.

He might die.

No, someone else will find him.

Shut up.

Just shut up.

Doesn't smell like fog, does it?

We must get him to hospital.

- Oh god, god, god, god, what am I going to do?

I'll drop you at the house.

Can you drive?

You know I can't.

- Where are you going? - To fetch the car.

- It may come out, they may say you were drunk.

Don't give them my name, will you?

I don't want to get involved.

You're the one who was always scared

that your wife would find out about us.

Shut up and get in the car.

No, no I'm not going into any dociles.

I need treatment, treatment.

You think I'm just an old,

there is something wrong with me nurse.

I was blinded by those lights, blinded by those lights.

Doesn't know anything.

Nurse, I'm not going into any hostel.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

If he did I would be admitted.

My car is in for servicing.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be here at all.

You just think I'm an old malingerer.

No, no, I've got money in the bank.

They're all trying to kill me, oh god.

Blast, there's no going into this room.

Wait in here.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Surgical spirit.

- What? - The bottle.

No, gin.

Must be the manities. - Don't let me see him again.

- Joe. - 13 times

in the last 10 weeks.

Everything from Beri Beri to the Black Death.

What was it this time?

The best of the lot.

Temporary blindness from seeing unnatural lights in the sky.

Yes, that's a better one.

Well next time it's the police.

RTA sir, there's a child..

Doctor, quickly.

I've left him in the car, I knocked him over.

One minute the road was clear then suddenly there he was.

He didn't move.

He jumped out in front, he's in the car.

- You've been a patient here yourself, haven't you?

I have a thrombosis, Mr Carter.

Carotid pulse but very faint.

- I couldn't help it doctor, he jumped out

in front of the car. - Ted, get him in

and get that fancy dress off him.

Right sir.

- He must have jumped straight out, I didn't even see him.

Were you alone?

Yes.

I'll call the police if I were you sir.

Can I ring from inside?

Yes of course.

- Nurse, I want to take some blood for cross matching.

Never seen clothes like this before?

Kind of rubber.

Any papers?

Driving licence or anything like that.

No, not even a label of any sort.

- Well his condition is more important than his identity.

Hello.

Oh, hello didn't know you were on duty.

You just caught me as I was leaving.

What have you got there?

RTA, wandering around in a fancy dress.

Chinese I think.

No, he's not Chinese.

How do you know?

Well,

is he nurse?

No, I don't think so.

Japanese?

Nope.

- Doesn't matter, we'll worry about his nationality later.

Apian natural?

Yes, he may have a fractured skull.

Any localising signs?

Can't find any.

Well leave him to me, I'll let you know

as soon as they're ready.

Ted, Harry, X-rays.

When they finish bring them back.

You may also find some fans we may need to cool him.

I'm taking it to the lab.

It's all right sister's with him.

- Keep an eye on his pulse and respirations,

if there's any change, call me.

All right.

Hello residence.

Oh dear.

Hello Dr Harland.

This is Dr Vernon.

Oh What do you want?

Sorry to disturb your beauty sleep

but I need two pints cross matched.

- Now. - Yes now,

the patient's unconscious.

Could be internal or cerebral injuries.

Oh all right.

Now are you really awake

or shall I call you back.

I'm awake.

- By the way, I thought you were giving them up.

Do you mind?

Oh dear.

Oh well.

Two pints of blood cross matching coming up.

So you'd been to a party, sir?

That's correct, Sergeant.

Good party?

Reasonable.

- With some friends? - Naturally.

Some old army friends.

Reunion party, was it?

Just a party.

And you had quite a lot to drink?

I was not drunk.

That wasn't my question sir.

Still, I don't know what these reunion parties are like.

- Let's just stick to the facts, shall we?

Then we can go home and get some sleep.

- Earlier on you were saying something about fogs.

There were patches of it on the road.

We drove through one or two... - We?

I thought you said you were alone, sir?

I meant I.

I see.

Carry on.

I drove through this patch of...

- Was this before or after the electrical failures?
