NIGHT ON THE LIVING DEAD - ACT THREE “The Television Will Not Save You” · Table Read

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Previously, on Night of the Living Dead, the farmhouse turned
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: fortress became a powder cake, and Ben was the man
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: holding the match. Harry Cooper clawed for control, Ben demanded respect.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: The dead just wanted flesh, and when Fear took the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: wheel out on that lonely road, the truck burned, Hope died,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and Sunrise started to look a lot like Judgment Act three,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: where the masks fall, the guns come out, and Romero
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: proves the real monster was America. All along Act three,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the cellar door swings open. Helen and Harry step into
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the hallway, faltering. They peer through the entrance way into
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the living room. Harry, standing behind his wife, is hostile,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: partially due to anger with himself because he has renigged
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: on his decision about the cell Helen, too, is overwrought
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: due to the emotional effect of the recent argument and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to the fact that she's about to meet strange people
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in an anxious circumstance. But only Tom and Barbara are
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in the living room, and Barbara, overcome with nervous exhaustion,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is sleeping fitfully on the couch.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: We can see the broadcast. I think if the TV works,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I have to go help Ben.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Helen has gone immediately to Barbara, looks down at her sympathetically,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: brushes back her hair and pulls the overcoat around her shoulders.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Poor thing. She must have been through a lot.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Harry, during these moments, has been flitting anxiously all over
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the house, from door to window, to kitchen to living room,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: checking out the actual degree of security and worrying about
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: imminence of attack at any second.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think her brother was killed out there.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Tom, Hey, Tom, you gonna give me a hand with
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: this day.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Tom startles, aware of his procrastination, and bolts for the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: upstairs to help Ben. Harry, pausing momentarily in his anxiety,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: comes over to where his wife is looking after Barbara.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Her brother was killed.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: This place is ridiculous. There's a million week spots up here.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: We hear sounds from upstairs of Tom and Ben struggling
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with the television set. They are making their way down
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the steps.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I don't care, there's people up here. Why don't you
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: do something to help somebody.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Harry, not really hearing her, is staring once more into
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the gloom outside.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: I can't see a damn thing out there. There could
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: be fifty million of those things. I can't see a thing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: That's how much good these windows to us.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The truck driver, who with Tom, has reached the landing
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: with the heavy television set, has heard the last part
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of Harry's remark. He glowers even as he moves with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: his end of the burden, but says nothing. As he
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and Tom gingerly deposit the TV in the center of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the room, They hunt for an outlet, find it, then
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: slide and walk the set until the court is close
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: enough to be plugged in. Ben kneels behind the set
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to plug in the.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Cour Wake the girl up.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: There's gonna be a thing on the tube. She might
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: as well know where she stands. I don't want anybody's
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: life on my hands, Harry.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Stop acting like a child.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I don't want to hear nothing else from you, mister.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: If you stay up here, you take your orders from me,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and that includes leaving that girl alone.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: She needs rest.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: She's just about out of her head as it is now,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: So now we're gonna just let her sleep at all,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: and nobody's gonna touch her unless I say so.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Ben stares Harry down for at least a moment to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: ascertain that he is at least temporarily silenced. Then his
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hand plunges immediately to the television set. He snaps it on.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: The occupants of the room jockey for vantage points, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: there are abated few seconds of dead silence as they
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: all wait to see if the set will actually warm up.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: All eyes around the tube. A hiss begins, increases in volume.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Ben cranks the volume all the way. A glowing band
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: appears and spreads, filling the screen.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: It's on, It's on.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: There are murmurs of excitement and anticipation, but the tube
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: only shows nothing, no picture, no sound, just the glow
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and hiss of the tube. Ben's hand raises the tuning dial.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Through the clicks of the various stations.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Play with the rabbit ears will you be able.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: To get something, then fusses with horizontal and vertical, with
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: brightness and contrast. On one station he finally gets sound.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: He adjusts the volume, the picture tumbles, he plays with
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it and finally brings it in full screen. Is a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: commentator in the middle of a news report. The people
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in the room settle back.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: To listen, assign little credibility to the theory that this onslaught
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: is a product of a mass hysteria. Authorities advise upmost
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: caution until the menace can be brought under absolute control.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Eyewitness accounts have been investigated and documented. Corpses of vanquished
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: aggressors are presently being examined by medical pathologists, but autops
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: the efforts have been hampered by the mutilated condition of
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: these corpses. Secure measures instituted in metropolitan areas include enforced
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: curfews and safety patrols by armed personnel. Citizens are urged
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: to remain in their homes. Those who ignore this warning
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: expose themselves to intense danger from the aggressors themselves and
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: from armed citizenry, whose impulse may be to shoot first
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: and ask questions later.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: During the telecast, there are mixed feelings and reactions, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: these responses are sporadic and infrequent. Predominant mood of all
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: involved is to learn as much as possible from the telecast.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Rural or otherwise isolated dwellings have most frequently been the
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: objective of frenzied concerted attack. Isolated families are in extreme danger.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Escape attempts should be made in heavily armed groups and
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: by motor vehicle if possible. Appraise your situation carefully. Before
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: deciding upon an escape tactic. Fire is an effective weapon.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: These beings are highly flammable. Escape groups should strike out
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: for the nearest urban community. Manned Events outposts have been
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: established on major arteries leading into all communities. These outposts
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: are equipped to defend refugees and to offer medical and
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: surgical assistance. Beliefs and vigilante groups are in the process
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: of combing remote areas and search and destroy missions against
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: all aggressors. These patrols are attempting to evacuate isolated families,
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: but rescue efforts are proceeding slowly due to the increased
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: danger of nightfall and the sheer enormity of the task.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Rescue for those in isolated circumstances is highly undependable. You
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: should not wait for a rescue party unless there is
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: no possibility of escape. If you are few against many,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: you will almost certainly be overcome. The aggressors are rational
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: and demented. Their sole urge is the quest for human flesh.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Sheriff Conan W. McClelland of the county Department of Public
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Protection was interviewed minutes after he and his vigil anti
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: patrol had vanquished several of the aggressors. We bring you
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: now the results of that interview.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Fade and segue to videotape. Interview open on wide shot
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a night scene. Dense woods, posted guards maintain the periphery
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of a small clearing. Sporadic gunfire can be heard in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the distance, some of the men's smoke, some talk in groups.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: The area is illumined by a large bonfire. Sheriff mc
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: clelland is the focal figure. Medium close up, so that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: as he talks we catch glimpses of activity in the background.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: He is shouting commands, supervising defense measures and the burning
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of the bodies, at the same time trying to answer
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: reporters questions. We cut or zoom closer. McClelland is pacing around,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not straying too far because a Lavalier microphone is hanging
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: on a cord around his neck. The crackle of the bonfire,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the shouts and bustle of activity can be constantly heard
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: behind his commentary. As he talks, he frequently turns away,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: his primary concern being his efforts in dealing with the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: aggressors and controlling his search party.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Here will this is a rough country for an evening hike,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: but things ain't going too badly. The men are taking
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: it pretty well. We killed nineteen of them today right
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: around this general area. These last three we found trying
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: to claw their way into an abandoned mind. Shit, nobody
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: in there, but these things just pounding and clawing and
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: trying to bust their way in. It's funny in a way.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: What's I thought there was people in there? We heard
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: the record, came blasted them down.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: What's your opinion?
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: Then?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Can we defeat these things?
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: I ain't no problem. The only problem is whether we
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: can get to them before they kill off all these people.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: But me and my men we can handle them.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: We ain't lost nobody or suffered any casualties. I got
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: to do is shoot for the eyes. You can tell
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: anybody out there, all you gotta do is draw a shot,
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: beat and shoot for the eyes. Or he beat them
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: down and loped their heads.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Off, then I'd have a decent chance, even if I
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: was surrounded by two or three of them.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: Or if you had yourself a club or a good torch,
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: you can home off for learn.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Them to death.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: They catch fire like nothing, go up like wax paper.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: But the best thing is to shoot them in the eyes.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: You don't wait for us to rescue you, because if
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: it gets you too far out numbered, you've had it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: And we're doing our best. But we only got so
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: many men and a whole lot of open country to come.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: But you think you can bring these things under control.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: Oh, we got things in our favor. Now, it's only
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: a question of time. Wait for certain how many there
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: are them things, But we know that when we find them,
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: we're going to be able to kill them. So it's
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: a matter of time. They're weak, but there are plenty
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: of them, and so don't wait for no rescue party.
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: Arm yourself to the teeth, get together in a group
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: and try and make it to a rescue station. That's
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: the best way. But if you're loone, you got to
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: sit stock still, wait for help, and we'll try like
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: hell to get there before they Oh, tail, I'm gonna
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: shoot for the eyes. That'll stop them.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Load jobbers. You have heard Sheriff Conan W.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: McClellan for the County Department of Public Protection. This is
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: your civil defense emergency network with reports every hour on
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: the hour for the duration of this emergency. Remain in
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: your homes, keep all doors and windows locked, do not
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: under any.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Circle, then reaches over and clicks off the television.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: What'd you click it off for?
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Man said, they only come on every hour. We heard
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: all we need to know. We got to get out of.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Here, he said. The rescue stations have doctors and medical supplies.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: If we could get there, they could help Karen.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: How are we going to bust out of here?
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: We got a sick kid, two women, one of them
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: out of her head, and three men, and there's a
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: million of them things outside.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Willard has a checkpoint there about about seventeen miles from here.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: Well you from here? You noticed area? Yeah?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was working in the cemetery across the road.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I'm the caretaker. Two of them things attacked me and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I high tailed it over here. Found everybody wiped out
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: not too long after. These other people fought their way
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: in here, and I was scared, but I opened the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: basement door and I let them in.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Unbeknownst to everybody else, Barbara has been sitting up listening.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Now she speaks, startling them and gathering their attention. She
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: has come down from her hysteria, but it's very weak.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You work in the cemetery. My brother is over there.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: You poor thing. My girl is hurt too. We have
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to get to a rescue station. The television told us
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: we have to try and escape.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Well, I think we ought to stick right here and
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: wait for a rescue park. He said, if you are
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: few against many, you don't have a chance. We can't
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: tramp sementine miles through those things.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: He ain't got to tramp what trust outside the door?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: This stops, Harry. There is a moment of silence.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: But uh, I'm just about out of gas. But there's
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: a pump, need a shed outside, it's just locked.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: The key ought to be around somewhere. There's a big
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: key ring in the basement.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go. Look the keys are labeled.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Is there a fruit seller? Yeah, Why, we're gonna need
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: lots of jars.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: We can make Molotov cocktails, scare those things back, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: then fight our way to the pump and.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Gas up the truck.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna need kerosene. There's a jug in the
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: basement too.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Barbara and I can help. We can rip up sheets
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: and things.
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: Here's the key ring. The pump kare is marked with
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: a piece of tape. Good that settles that question. But
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: we should take a crow bar anyway. In case the
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: key don't work. The crowbar can double this weapon for
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: whoever goes with me.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: But I don't want to get all the way out
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: there and find out that pump won't open.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: All go.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you and me can fight our way to the pump.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: The women can stay in the cellar and take care
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: of the kid. We should have a stretcher. Barbara and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Helen can do that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Harry, you're gonna have to guard the upstairs once we
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: onboard the door. Those things can get in here easy.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: But me and Tom got to get back in here too.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Once we get back with the truck. You got to
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: guard the door and unlock it for us. Then we'll
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: board it up as fast as we can because those
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: things are gonna come fast.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: On our heels.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: All right now, if we don't get back, well, then
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: you'll be able to see from.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Upstairs, and you can.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: You can barricade the door again and go to the basement,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: and then you can just sit down there and wait
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: for your rescue party.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: I want the gun. Then it's the best thing for
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: me to year is you're you're not gonna have time.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: To stop it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Aim or I'm keeping this gun nobody else lays a
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: hand on it.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: I found it in his mine. You don't care what
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: happens to us.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: How do we know you and time won't just take
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: the truck and cut out.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: That's the chance you're gonna have to take. If we
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: cut out, you'll have your goddamn basement. Like you be
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: crying about this whole time.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: We're gonna die here if we don't all work together.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: My brother's out there. Maybe we can get him and
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: bring him back.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: He's just wounded. He'll be okay.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: That's okay, honey, we'll be all right. Maybe your brother
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: will be two.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Let's get busy. We've got a lot to do if
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: we're gonna bust out of here.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: He is on his feet, taking command. We fade out
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of the scene, fade into a new scene, completion of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: escape preparations. Tom's pouring kerosene into fruit jars. Helen is
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: dipping twisted rag fuses and kerosene in the bottom of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a dish. Barbara comes from the kitchen with more jars,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: drying them on the outside and putting them on the table.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: She and Helen begin working the kerosene soaked fuses through
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the holes, which Thomas cut from the jar lids. Between
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: them is a crude stretcher made of broomsticks and torn sheets,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: This presumably for the wounded girl Karen. The television is off,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but the radio drones lowly repeating the recorded message. The
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: radio is on as a monitor only that they might
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: work and still keep up with news that may affect
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: their situation.
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: I don't know what to think about my brother. We
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: have to get out of here a bit. Maybe we'll
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: find him in Willard. Maybe he was able to crawl
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: to the car and get away.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: We have to think of ourselves now. It's hard for you,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: but it's all we can do. My girl is getting
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: worse too. I have to get her a doctor.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Roomsticks and belt buckles and old sheets. She's told okay,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: I always hated the boy scouts.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: It'll be okay. Is there anything open upstairs?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Some windows in the room. Spinner's unfastening the doors.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Now, we'll throw the cocktails from upstairs. Just just splash
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the whole area with them. That you keep most of
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: them away while we break for the truck.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: We're ready. Here comes Ben now.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Ben, the gun strapped around his back, is carrying a
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: crowbar and claw hammer. He walks around checking preparations, smiles
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: at Barbara, glad to see she's a little better.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: All right, things are ready up there now, Me and
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Tom on board the front door.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Harry, you take the two women upstairs. Carry the maltop
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: cocktails with you.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Soon as the door's unbarred, we gonna throw those things
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: all over the place.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Make sure they catch fire. Good. Then the women bust
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: out here and getting the cellar. Don't forget to stretcher
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: all right.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: When we hear footsteps on the stairs, me and Tom
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: will be gone.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: He'd be up to you. Harry. You gotta wash this door.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Got yourself a good length of pipe. I have a
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: pitch fork. Good, good, Okay.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Tom and Ben go over to the door. The others garry, fruit, jars, etc.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And sneak quietly to the unboarded room upstairs. Tom and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Ben are left alone. Tom is soaking a table leg
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and curiousene that it's alighted for use as a torch.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: They fall to work on the door, the painstaking work
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: of quietly undoing the barricade. They do not want to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: give alarm to the lurking things outside. With crowbar and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: claw hammer, very careful both men working on each separate
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: piece of lumber, they undo the barricade. Each nail creek
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: is a menace. They are alert to the constant danger.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: They finish and watch, posting themselves anxiously by the door.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Shadowy figures lurk in the dark outside. Tom and Ben
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: wait for the Molotov shower to begin. A cry is heard,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: A window flies open to the first fiery blaze lights
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: in the yard. More follow, some aimed for the creatures themselves.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: One or two catch fire, the others start to back away.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: The entire field is lit up. Bons shower from.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Upstairs that's open run far.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: His voice echoes as Tom and Ben burst into the yard.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: They are armed with torches and with a gun. They
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: leap into the truck. Tom plunges a torch into the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: chest of an attacker Block, who immediately catches fire and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: goes down in blaze. Clutching the trush. The truck starts
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: up in korems and a hue turn for the old shed.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Attackers fall away. It starts out. Ben aimes fires several shots,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: most miss. The truck jounces toward the gas pump across
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the yard, but one creature goes down at the front
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: of the gas pump near the old shed. Tom and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Ben leap out. Attackers are starting to make their way
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to them from across the yard. Tom fumbles with the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: key to the locked pump. Ben shoves him back hurriedly
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: aims the guy. The gun fires, blowing the locks of pieces.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Gas burts out all over the place. Creatures advance. Gas
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: still spurting, Tom cramped the nozzle into the mouth of
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the gas tank in the back of the truck. Ben
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: crouches and levels off with his weapon. An approaching attacker
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: goes down, but more are coming in. Tom's torch has
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: inadvertently set fire to the Dow's truck. The flames begin
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to lick and spread. The attackers gather in force ever closer.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Tom leaps into the flaming truck. It skids and lurches
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: across the yard. Ben shouts to no affair. The flaming
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: truck speeds away, driven by the panic Tom. Several of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the things are upon Ben. He crashes and pounds them
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: with torch and god Ignoring Tom, he has to try
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and fight his way back to the house. From inside
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the house, the panicked and cowardly Harry has only seen
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: pieces of the action. He has been darting back and
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: forth from door to window and trying to see what
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: has been happening outside. From his viewpoint. The escape attempt
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: has met with total doom. He has seen the truck
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: catch fire, driven away by Tom. Ben appears to be overwhelmed.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Harry runs again to the door. He sees the truck
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: completely in flames, speeding away from the house toward a
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: small rise back to the kitchen window. Ben is about
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to be overcome things all around him. Harry does not
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: see as Tom jumps from the burning truck to be
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: seized by attacking Ghules. The truck, continuably unmanned from the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: far rise and explodes violently, the noise and flames shattering
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the night. Several Ghuls are at the front door, trying
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to beat their way into the house. From inside, Harry
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: is in complete tone. He cannot hold out. All is lost.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: He pants and bolts for the cellar, but Ben has
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: slugged his way through the attackers on the porch.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: Look it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: He is pounding for admission at the front door. He
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: turns and with a powerful lunch, kicks the last attacker
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: off the porch. On the rebound, he plows his shoulder
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: against the door. It crashes open, the lock broken, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Ben bursts in time to catch Harry at the cellar door,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: But there is no time. Ben frantically turns to reboarding
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the door. His eyes meet Harry's for an instant, then
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they both fall to work. They board up the door.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: They are temporarily safe. They turn and look at each other,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: sweat streaming from each face. Harry knows what is coming.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Ben's fist crashes against Harry's face. He is driven back,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: one punch following another until Ben corns him, Clenching his
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: lapels against the wall. Ben's words spit out, each word
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: punctuated by an additional slam of Harry against the wall.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Right now, it's time to cross some water. I'll kill you.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Ben slams him one final time. He slides down the wall,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: crumples on the floor. His face is swollen, he is
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: streaming blood. Ben is already at the cellar door.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Come on, it's us, It's all over. Thomas dead fade out.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: The survivors are gathered in the living room. Barbara and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Helen are slumped on the sofa, overwhelming mood of hopelessness
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and despair. Harry sulks in a corner, his head slung back,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: his face swollen. He is holding an ice pack against
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: his eye. His good eye follows Ben, who is pacing
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: about the room. Where Ben's pacing takes him to the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: kitchen or to some area out of Harry's sight. The
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: good eye, nervously relaxing. Ben's movements make virtually the only sound.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He is checking the fences by force of old habit,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: rather than hope. The rifle is slung on his back.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: For a long time we dwell on the scene, on
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the absolute dejectedness of the prisoners within the barricaded house.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Ben paces from door to kitchen to window. He starts
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to go upstairs, stops, checks himself, goes to the door again.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: He looks at his watch.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Ten minutes to three. There'll be another broadcast in ten minutes.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody says anything. Ben pulls back the curtain. His eyes
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: grow suddenly wide, but he watches. For a long moment.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: We see his view of the outside. There are many
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: ghuls lurking in the shadows of the hanging trees. Some
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of the things are in the open, much nearer to
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the house than they dared come before. Remains of charred
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: bodies are dimly apparent from various parts of the lawn,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: but Ben's eyes are fastened on a more grisly scene
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: at the engine lock in the moonlight, several ghuls devouring
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: what had once been tomed. They rip tear into aspects
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of his body, ghouls teeth biting into Tom's arms and hands.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Ben stares, fascinated, and the pulsed with a convulsive movement.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: His fingers release the curtain. He turns, shaken and faces
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the others, beads of perspiration dripping from his forehead.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Don I know, none of you look out there. You
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: won't like what you see.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Harry's good eye fastens on. Ben watches him, satisfied and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: contemptuous to see the big man weaken. Ben moves for
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the television, clicks it on. Barber's scream pierces the Ben
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: leaps back from the teleision. She is on her feet,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: screaming uncontrollably.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: Never get here, none of us.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: We'll never get out of her.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Lie, shine, shine, Before anyone can move to her, she
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: chokes up as suddenly she began, and slumps, sobbing violently
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to the couch, her face buried in her hands. Helen
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: tries to soothe her, but great sobs come racking from
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: deep within. She grows gradually quiet. The sobs diminish, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: she remains slumped on the couch, her face covered with
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: her hands. Helen covers her with the overcoat, but this
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: action seems futile. Barbara makes no movement whatsoever. Ben allows
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: himself to sink very slowly into a chair in front
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of the TV. Harry's good eye goes from Barbara to Ben.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: His eye fastens on the gun, which Ben lowers but
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: first to the floor. Leans across his legs. Ben threads
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: his arm through the fringe sling and maintains his grip
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: on the four piece.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Harry watches, Ah, I'm going to the cellar to take
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: care of Karen. Come on, honey, come and talk to me.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: It will make you feel better.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: But Barbara makes no response. Helen turns and starts for
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the cellar door. She has to squeeze past Harry's chair furtively,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: his eye on Ben, Harry touches her and pulls her
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: towards him. She too watches Ben. She knows something is up.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Ben remains transfixed before the TV. He is lost in thought.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: His mind drifts somewhere. There is nothing on the screen,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: just a dull glow and low hiss over scanning lines
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and static. He has turned the set on too early.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: I've gotta get that gun. We can go to the cellar.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: You have to help me.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He has let the ice pack come away from his eye.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: We see it as swollen in blackened condition, and the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: desperation on his face. Ben still gazes at the TV,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: worried about the possibility that Ben might catch them in
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the act, and not really sympathizing with Harry. Helen pulls away,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: but she leans her to Harry's and whispers quickly.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to help you. Haven't you had enough?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: He'd kill us both.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: She goes to the cellar and on the way has
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to pass behind Ben's chair. She hesitates, her eyes fall
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: on the gun. The sling is wound around Ben's arm.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: We study her face. It is not clear whether she
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: would have taken it or not, but she makes no attempt.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: She opens the door and goes down into the cellar.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Harry's eye follows her as she leaves. As Helen reaches
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the cellar stairs, she looks up and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: her face shows startlement, a shaken smile. Her daughter is
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: sitting up, propped on her elbows on the work bench
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: table Okaarin. She starts for her, but stops. There is
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: something strange. Her face turns slowly toward her. We see
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the ghoulish look in her eye. She begins to rise slowly, terrifyingly,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: her features grow tee. The coat that was her blanket
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: begins to fall away. Her eyes stare through Helen and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: beyond her, slowly agonizingly. As he raises herself from the table, Helen, terrified,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: begins to back away across the cellar. Her hand falls
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: on a knife. Her child creeps toward her. She moves
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a large packing crate, trying to block her path, trying
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to stave the confrontation, but she is too late. She springs.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: It appears as though the knife will be driven into
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: her breast, but on the spring. We cut to the upstairs,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: where simultaneously a scream pierces the room. An assault has begun.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The things are beginning to break into the house. They've
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: gotten into the den and are hammering at the barricaded door.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: The walls are studying to come apart. Ben is on
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: his feet trying to reinforce the barricades with hammer and crowbar.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: He works furiously.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: Harry, Harry, go ahead over here.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Harry comes over behind Ben and instead of helping, rips
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the gun from Ben's back. Holding the gun on Ben,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Harry backs toward the cellar. Ben turns around. Hannicked, the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: things are breaking into the house.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: What are you up to?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: We gotta get these things out of the house.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Now we'll see who's going to show how.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: I'm going to the cellar and you can ride up here,
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: you cray bastard.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: His hand goes behind him to the cellar door, but
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: at that moment, the ghoulish Karen leaps upon him with
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: great thuds. Karen is at Harry's throat. Ben is able
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: to grab the gun. He levels off, trying to hit
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the kid, but a sudden wrench of the two struggling
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: bodies and Ben misses. Harry screams. A great clot of
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: blood appears at his chest. Clutching the wound, he begins
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: to go down. He falls through the entranceway to the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: cellar stairs. He reels, grabs the banister and begins to descend.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: We see his view as he falls really head thirst
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: down the stairs. Ben, meantime, has flung the kid Karen
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: with one heave against the wall, but things have broken
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: into the house everywhere. The barricades are coming apart. Barbara,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: with a hysteria of her Ben, has flung herself into
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: her attacks. She smashes a chair again front of the aggressors,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: goes down. He smashes and smashes it on the floor
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: until there is nothing left of the chair. She winds
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: up still swinging, fighting with Ben against the things that
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: have come into the house. It's quite apparent that they
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: cannot hold out the attack. Rageously, they are overwhelmed. Ben
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: grabs Barbara and pulls her after him towards the cellar.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: She is lashing and swinging, beating at an attacker even
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: as he drags her. Ben things open the door to
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: the cellar and Helen is at his throat. He brings
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the gun up between their struggling bodies until the muzzle
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: it is against her throat and squeezes the trigger. She
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: is blown halfway across the room. Ben and Barbara run
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: down the stairs, but Harry is sprawled in a pool
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of blood on the floor. He is dead. To rise.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Ben pushed Barbara back. She turned her head away. Ben
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: raises the gun and we study this as three evenly
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: spaced shots rip the room. Ben is almost glad to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: kill Harry. He turns to Barbara, breathing hard. She collapses
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: against him and begins to sob. We hear faint pounding
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: against the barricaded cellar door, but it is holding the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: creatures cannot get in. The screen is black. There are
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: sounds of birds, fainter sounds of dogs. Human voices fade
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: up quickly sunrise, the morning after the siege. The sky
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: is clear. The rising sun is bright and warm. There
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is dew and the high grass of a meadow. Men
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: with dogs and guns reworking their way up from the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: woods that surround the meadow. We do not see the
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: posse at first. We merely hear their sounds, shouts, muffled talk,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: panting and straining of dogs against lecies share McClellan's posse.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: A few men, some with German shepherds unleashes, finally come
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: up out of the woods and onto the edge of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the sunlit dewy meadow. The wet grass is damp in
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the boots and trouser legs of the men McClelland is
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: perhaps the third man up from the surrounding thicket. He
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: is a heavy man, mustached, breathing hard because of his
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: weight and the difficult job of leading the posse through
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the night. He is armed with shotgun and pistol and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a belt of ammunition strung over his shoulder. He pauses,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: looks back into the woods and mops perspiration from his
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: brow with a bald up dirty handkerchief.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: Come on, but steph loudly now. Never can't tell we'll
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: run into up here.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: It costs a man just climbing up out of the woods.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: The man wears an improvised sweatband, carries a rifle in
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: side arm, and has a walky talkie strapped on his back.
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: You keep it in touch with the squad cars, George, Yeah,
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: they know where we are.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: They should be intercepting us at the house. Good.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: These men is dog tired. They could use some rest
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: and hot coffee. Let's push you along now. The squad
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: cars will be waiting with coffee and sandwiches at the house.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: The men push on across the field. Inside the house,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Ben and Barbara have been dozing on chairs in the basement.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Ben wakes abruptly, thinking he has heard something, but he
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: isn't sure. He sits up and listens more closely. From
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: far off, there's the sound of a dog. Ben listens
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: for a long time, but here's nothing more. Outside. The
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: meadow has become the apron of a cemetery, the one
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Barbara and John had come to with the flowers for
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: their father. The posse is advancing, threading its way among
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the grave markers. A man finds John's skeletal remains near
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the spot where he had fallen. Down the dirt road
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and up a short grade is Barbara's car with a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: smashed window, and.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: It looks like this guy's car or a fella never
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: had a chance.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: The men pass through the cemetery and over the wall,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: where several squad cars are waiting on the road. There
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: are also one or two motorcycle patrolmen. One of the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: men dismounts and hails McClelland.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Hi, Kenny has things going.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: McClelland advances and shakes hands, stops a while, mops his
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: brow again. The men begin to catch up and regroup.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: The posse fills the bend in the narrow road.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: He sure glad to see you, Phillis, Charlie. We've been
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: at it all night, but I don't want to break.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: Can we get in that house over there? We might
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: be lolligagging around while somebody needs our help. We'll see
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: first in stop and get some coffee.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Anything you say, Connie.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Inside the house, Ben has sneaked up to the top
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: of the cellar stairs. He listens there very intently, not
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: wanting to open the door because creatures may still be
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: in the house this time, for sure. He hears gunshots
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and a mumbled sound of what must be voices of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: approaching men. There is even what sounds like a car engine.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Ben bolts excitedly down the stairs. Ben wakes the.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: Girl, Barbara Barber here, honeyed it. There's men outside of
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: up I can hear. He must be here to rescue us.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Outside we see the cause of the gunshots. The Posse
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is flushing out ghules from the pump house and surrounding area.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: The squad cars have driven up. The posse is advancing
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: across the lawn guardedly toward the partially destroyed old farmhouse.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: The men crouch and sneak up, slowly, keeping their eyes
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: fastened on the house. A loud sudden noise stops them.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: They watch, stopped in their tracks.
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: Shoot for the eyes, boys, like I told you before,
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: always aim.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Right for the eyes inside, ready to shoot or swing.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Ben has slammed open the cellar door. The force of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: his shoulder against the door has carried him into the
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: living room. Nothing only the ramshackle and destruction from the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: recent siege. He edges his way through the twisted wreckage
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: and overturned furniture toward the There is no light in
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the place. His hand finds what is left of the curtain.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: He pulls it back and starts to peer out, but
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a shot rings out. Ben reels driven back, a circle
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of blood on his forehead right between his eyes. Barbara's
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: scream is heard from downstairs. Simultaneously, McLellan shouts, his face
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: flushed with anger.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Damn it, what your ship for?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I told you to be careful.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: There might be people in there.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Nah, this place is demolish.
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: There ain't nobody in there.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I heard the girls scream from maybe the basement.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Several men have advanced to kick in the front door.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: They step back and peer cautiously inside, their faces search
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the room. A patch of sunlight from the open door
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: falls partially on Ben. He is dead. The men look
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: down at him, but step past him toward the cellar.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: They do not know he was a man. From the cellar,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: they hear muffled sobs. McClellan enters and begins to inch
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: his way down the stairs.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: Anybody down there.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: He draws his pistol, inches his way down the stairs.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: At the bottom he confronts Barbara, sitting wide eyed in
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a chair. McClellan raises his pistol, aims it for her head,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: but something stops him, a tear in her eye. He
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: lowers the weapon.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: It's all right, men, come on down.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: It's just a girl down here.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: He goes to Barbara, bends over her, looks at her,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: begins to help her up. Closing scene with titles and credits.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Burning of bodies in the yard of the old house,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: perhaps the burning of the house itself. In the background,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: against the scene of mc clellan draping his jacket around
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Barbara and bringing coffee to her lips, we see Bend's
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: body on a stretcher carried by two men. They lifted
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: into the rear of a station wagon.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: It's too bad, an accident. The only blush. We had
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: the whole night, the end. Naturally you do make you
