The Last Man on Earth - 1964 - With vincent price - Subtitled

COMMUNITY CHURCH THE END HAS COME Anther day to live trough. Better get started. THE LAST MAN ON EARTH DECEMBER, 1965 Is that all it has been since I inherited the world? ? Only three years. It seems like a 100 million. 1968- JENUARY - FEBRUARY MARCH - APRIL - MAY - JUNE Yeah, I own the world. An empty, death, silent world. More of them for the pit. Every day there are more of them. They live of the weak ones and leave them for the pit. K-O-K-W calling. Come in. K-O-K-W calling. I am on internacional frequency. Come in. They can't bear to see their image. It repels them. I need more mirrors. And this garlic's lost its pungency. There was a time, when eating was pleasurable. Now it bores me. Just fuel for survival. I'll settle for coffee and orange juice this morning. But first there is my life to consider. I'd better replace that garlic. I need more, lots more. Better stop off and get them. I can't afford the luxury of anger. The anger can make me vulnerable. It can destroy my reason and reason is the only advantage I have over them. I've got to find where they hide during the day. Uncover every one of them. Where did I finish off yesterday? Madison street to 31st Avenue. Eleven kills, over three years. And there is more than half the city I haven't searched. They are perfect. Just wide enough to keep the flesh apart, so that their body seal can't function. How many more of these will I have to make, before they are all destroyed? They want my blood. It's their lifes or mine. I still get squeamish. Wait! That garlic! I better put it where it belongs. I can't live a heartbeat away from hell and forget it. I am out of gas. That means one more stop I'l have to make. I'll get rid of them later. Right now, I am out of gas. It's still fresh. But I'll take only what I need. They've got to last. They can wait, too. I've got my life to worry about. Those mirrors have to be replaced before dark. Square blocks to search. How many of them still exist? How long will I have to keep up this search? I haven't much time left. It'll be dark in an hour. And now, twelve long hours before the Sun will rise, and drive them back to darkness. Morgan, come out! Come out! Morgan! Come out! Come out! Robert, help me! Help me! Robert!... Another day... Another day to start all over again. Virge. Virge! God, how I miss you! The Sun has already set! They will be everywhere! It's Morgan! Get him! Do you hear? Morgan! Morgan! Do you hear, Morgan? Morgan! Do you hear, Morgan? Three years. Three years! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Hey, Virge? Virge! Yes? Oh, no. My make'up. My hair! - Hey, where ist everybody? All I can see... - Hi, Ben! I can hear children, but I can't see any children. Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben! Look, it's uncle Ben! Carefuly! - What did you bring me? - Open them and see. Open them and see. - Oh! Come, come. - Are they all for Kathy? Take a look at this. TELEGRAPH PLAGUE CLAIMES HUNDREDS Is Europes' disease carried on the wind? - Entirely theoretical, Ben. - Theoretical? Do I have to remind you that the theory is the beginning of solution? "Is Europes' disease carried on the wind?" Is it, Ben? - Could be. - And if it is? It isn't, Virge. Is that what you really think, or just what you would like to think? I cannot accept half-baked theories, that sell newspapers. I am a scientist, not an alarmist. You are whistling past the graveyard. Is that a commentary on my work at the lab? - We both know how hard you've worked. - I'm sorry, Ben. I just can't accept the idea of universal disease. Uncle Ben, you promised us card tricks! All right, Kathy. Who can resist that face? All right. Card tricks! Card tricks! Robert... Is it possible that this germ or virus could be air-born? Anything is possible, Virge. The best brains in the world have been running through this thing with a fine-toothed comb. The germ is visible under a microscope, but it is not like any bacilli I've ever known. In what way? It can't be destroyed by any process, we have been able to uncover. But with the whole world trying, there must be a solution. Hey, Mommy, when're we gonna cut the cake? Right now, our problem is to cut that cake. - Hey, Mommy, hey, Mommy! - Coming, coming! Did the wind wake you up? Always does. How do you feel? - I am all right. - Oh, don't get up, honey. - I'm not sick, Bob. I'll make your breakfast... - You don't have to. I'll be all right. Go on and read your paper. All right. Oh, sweetheart, look, if you don't feel well, please, go back to bed. I'm just a little tired, that's all. I wish someone would find the vaccine! It's all we are working on in that lab, Virge. Maybe you better not send her to the school today. All right. - You.. Do you think you should go to work? - I have to. Bob... Bob, I'm so frightened... Everything's going to be all right, sweetheart. MERCER INSTITUTE OF CÍEMICAL RESEARCH - Well? - The bacilli are multiplying. That kicks the bone marrow theory in the head. This specimen shows a higher white count, than when I put it down on the slide. Those cells are still living, Dr. Mercer, of one another. There has to be an answer. You've heard that all comunications ended outside the continental limits? Yes, I heard. That leaves it in our laps. So, we keep trying. Where is Cortman? But he schould be here by now. You two stay on this virus theory, until I decide it's exhausted. Right. - Yes, sir? - Morgan will fill you in. All right, sir. And what did the great man of science have to say today? - More of the usual? - Always trying, Ben. Just like the rest of us. And nothing works. The streets are swarming with truckloads of bodies, that they're throwing into that God-awful pit. And the dedicated Dr. Mercer goes on with this plodding, unimaginative approach. - You have a better idiea? - Maybe. - At least, it involves imagination. - Ben, it's as simple as this. An unknown germ is being blown arround the world. It's highly contagious and it's reached plague proportions. And you don't belive some of the dead've come back? Let's get to work. And why are they burning the bodies? Why don't they bury them? Because it's the best known way to control the contagion, to keep the germs from spreading. That's we've always believed, at any rate. - Do you prefer to believe in vampires? - If they exist, yes! There are stories been told, Bob. By people who are out of their minds with fear! Maybe... But they are to many, to be just coincidental. Stories about people who have died and... have come back. They are stories, Ben! Stories! And why are the infected people always so tired in the daytime? Why can't they stand the sunlight? Why are they only seen at night? Come here. - Look. - I know as well as... - Look! - Now, is this bacilli, or isn't it? - It doesn't alter... And these bacilli are found in the blood of every infected person, isn't it? To show me germs is not to refute these stories, Bob. The point is, if there are vampires, they exist in spite of these germs. Come on, let's get to work. And untill a further notice, this station will continue its arround-the-clock coverage of this national disaster. And now, we'll switch you to the State Capitol, where His Excellency, the Governor, is speaking from the Executive Mansion. Further, I have in conjunction with the Federal Government, declared this state to be a disaster area. The public health is depending on the bodies of the deceased being burned. You must notify the Health Department immediately, if you have a plague victim in your home. Under no circumstance, should you gather publicly. In view of the dire emergency that exists, I intend to... Anything new? No, nothing new. Nothing. Mommy, where are you? Mommy, I can't see. - I'm going to call the doctor. - I said no! Virge, there is nonthing they can do. - But we can't let her just lie there. - But this way she has a chance. If you call a doctor, he'll report it. Do you want that? Mommy, help me! Mommy! Mommy, help me! Mommy, help me! - How can you be so sure she...? - Blindness is one of the symptoms. You are not to call the doctor under any circumstances. No one is to come into this house. Now remember that. Mommy! Mommy! Mommy, where are you? I have got to pick Ben Cortman upon the way to the lab. No one is to come into this house! Now remember that! No! No! No, please! Please don't let him be buried in that pit! Please, for God's sake! Don't take him away like this. You can't! You can't! - Who's there? - It's me, Ben. We're late. Ben, what's the matter with you? Nothing. And I'm going to keep it that way. - Ben! Look, let's talk about this. - There's nothing to talk about. You think I'm out of my mind! You laughed at me and my theory! You might be one of them! Ben, look. You're ill, You ought to see a doctor! No doctors! You take care of your life, I'll take care of mine. Now, get away from here. You understand? Get away from here! If you're looking for anybody but me, forget it. - Are they all gone? - That's right. Is there any hope from the latest reports? No, not yet. But believe me, Morgan, we'll find an answer. When, doctor? We need it right now! I need it! You are the only one, who wasn't afraid to come here today. What's going to happen, Dr. Mercer? Is everybody in the world going to die before someone find the answer? No, I don't think so. I don't deny, that there's a strange evolutionary process going on, but mankind won't be destroyed. The fact that you and I are working here today is evidence of that. All right, let's roll. When? When! I called the doctor. I had to. I told you not to call anyone! Bob, she was blind! She couldn't see! She kept reaching out her hands, and groping for me. Then, all of a sudden, she was gone. And they came and I tryed to stop them, but they took her. I saw a truck out there. Was that it? Was't it? Yeah. I'm sorry, lady. There's nothing I can do. Let that truck trough. Get out of the way! Get back, folks! Nobody is allowed out there. Please, all of you. Get behind those lines! Look sharp there. Move. Move along. Make way for that truck! Make way! AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY Hey, you, mister! Come back! Come back! Did this truck just come in from Market Street? I said, did this truck just come in from Market Street! But, Sir, I don't know! Hey, you don't belong here. Get out! - I said get out! - I want my daughter! Mister, there're a lot of daughters in there, including my own. Bob! Bob, I can't see! I can't see! Bob! Verge! Verge... Oh, no... No. I won't let them put you there, Virge. I promise. I won't let them put you there. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. Let me in. Who is it? Who is there? Robert! Robert! Robert! Rooobeeeert! Morgan. We're going to kill you, Morgan. Morgan! Do you hear? Morgan! Morgan! Do you hear, Morgan? Morgan! Do you hear, Morgan? If Cortman thinks he can get to me by destroying my car, his wit's getting dull. This convertible would be nice. Probably handles well. But I can't think of comforts now. There was a time when I shoped for a car. Now, I'm looking for a hearse. This Station waggon would have to do. Alive! It's alive! Wait! Don't run away! Come back here! Don't run away! Come back! Come back here! Wherever he is, I've got to find him! If I have to search every street, every house, every alley, every inch of this town, I've got to find him! Come back! Hey, boy, where are you? Where are you, pal? Come here! They are dead! They've been staked! These are made of iron! Not wood, like mine. Someone else has survived in this world. But where are they? Where are they hiding? How many are they? Where do they come from? Why haven't I seen them? This is Robert Morgan. If somebody can hear me, answer me. For God's sake, answer me! This is K-O-K-W calling. K-O-K-W calling! Answer me! So you finally decided to come back. Good boy. Oh, no. Don't worry, boy. You're going to be all right. Yes, you are. There now. We've got all cleaned up, hm? You're gonna feel better. I'll put you down here now and you can rest. You've got all cleaned up. You know they're out there, don't you? You poor driven thing. Everything's gona be all right. Nobody's gona hurt you. Everything's gona be all right. All right. You're going to get better. We're going to have a lot of happy times together. You'll see. Everything's gona be fine. What's the use? Wait, I'm not going to hurt you. Can't you understand? Wait! Wait! I'm not going to hurt you. Wait! Wait! Wait! I couldn't be out here in the day light, if I were one of them. You know that they can't come out until sundown. Do you want to come with me, or do you want to face them? - You feeling better? - Yes. - Would you like a cup of coffe? - Thank you. - You seem very well organized here. - Yeah. My name is Ruth Collins. I was married. I lost my husband. You're alone? - You were married? - Yes. Children? A daughter. What are you doing? Please, stop, please! Stop it, please! You're making me sick! Why do you turn away? Why do you turn away? - You are infected. - No. Infected systems are allergic to garlic. - You think I'm one of them. - You will be. You made up your mind, just because I... You can't change the facts by talking. Facts? What facts? That I got sick? I had a sensitive stomach all my life. I saw my husband killed. Torn to pieces, right in front of our house. I've been wandering ever since. Hiding at night. Not eating more than scraps. Sick with mourning, sick with fear, unable to sleep. Then you shout at me. You chase me across the field, hit me, drag me to this house, and to top it all, when I get sick because you shove a piece of reeking garlic in my face, you tell me, I'm infected. - Where are you going? - Let me go! You can't go out there. It ist almost sunset! - Let me go, I said! - You can't go out there now! - In a few minutes, the streets will be full of them. - I don't care. Let me go! - I don't care. - At least let me give you a blood test. Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! You must be hungry already, I'll fix you some diner. - You know, you should eat. - I can't. - You seem used to them. - Now, as much as anybody could be. I'm not frightened of them anymore, if that's what you mean. Oh, I protect myself against them, but only because they're so many. Individually, they're weak. Mentally incompetent, like animals after a long famine. If they weren't, they should've found a way of breaking in here a long time ago. Come out, Morgan. Hear that? That's Ben Cortman. - He was my friend. - Your friend? He was like a kid brother. If I could find him an destroy him... But you said he was your friend! When I find him, I will drive a stake through him, just like all the others. But you lived trough all this. Do you know why? Perhaps I was chosen. That's a laugh. Or perhaps it's because a long time ago, when I worked in Panama, I was bitten in my sllep by a bat. My theory is, that... the bat had previously acquired the vampire germ. By the time it entered my blood it had been strained and weakened by the bat system. As a result, I have immunity. Well, it's only a guess, but it's all I gave to go on. You don't think that I'm immune, do you? It's a simple manner to find out if you are or not. What would you do, if I am infected? Cure me? You don't have to answer. I know well, as you do,... that it's incurable. There might be a way. If not of killing the germ, at least of containing it, keeping it from spreading. If I had the equipment, and time.... But you don't. You are one of them! I was. And without that injection, I'll be one again. What do you mean? - Did you find the solution? - That's right. Exactly as you said it could be. I take that for it. What is it? Defibrinated blood plus vaccine. The blood feeds the germ, the vaccine keeps it isolated and prevents it from multiplying. We've had it for some time now. "We"? - "We"? - There are quite a number of us. And I thought you were alone. I was going to cure you! - Does that amuse you? - No. Now, I want the truth. I want all of it. Why are you here? To find out if you know any more than we do. You know far less. We're alive! Infected, yes, but alive! We're going to reorganize the society. We'll do away with those wretched creatures, who are neither alive, nor dead. Start everything all over again! And you want me to join? You can't join us! You're a monster to them. Why do you think I ran, when I saw you? Even though I was assigned to spy on you. Because I was so terrified of what I’d heard about you. You're a legend in the city, living by day instead of night. Leaving, as evidence of your existence, bloodles corpses. Many of the people you destroyed were still alive! Many of them were loved ones of the people in my group. I didn't know! - Is there any way you can get out of here? - What do you mean? They're coming after you tonight. That's why I was sent here. To prevent you from resisting them. I'm suposed to keep you here, until they come. - To kill me? - Yes. Your new society sounds charming. The beginning of any society is never charming or gentle. And you pretended to be shocked at my violence! What are you waiting for? Why don't you go on and use it? Get it over with! Use it! Get it over with! Now, you know... What are you going to do? You are watching an episode of history of medicine-a direct blood transfusion. Obviosly, Ruth and Robert have compatible blood groups. - What are you doing? - It's already done. What? Look. Look! You see? It worked, Ruth! The antibodies in my blood worked! My blood has saved you, Ruth! Do you know what this mean? You and I can save all the others! We won't be alone. We'll never be alone again! You're sure? Wait. Don't be afraid. Where are you going? I have to get out of here. To tell them you are no threat to us. - You can't go out there. - You can save all of us! When they come, there won't be time for questions and answers! They'll come to kill! For God's sake, Robert, let me go! Robert, please! Ruth, look. Tomorrow. Please, Robert! Tomorrow, Ruth. Tomorrow will be all rigt. Robert, no. - Robert? - Yes, Ruth. - And what if it doesn't last? - But it will! I've already checked it under the microscope. Wait, I'll show you. I'll prove it to you. I'll check it again. Ruth, just take a look at this. This will prove it to you. Ruth, there is no change. I've double checked it... Robert! Ruth! - Ruth! - Robert! Get away from her! Ruth, are you all right? Are you all right? Run, Robert! Robert, run! Run! They intend to kill you, Robert! Run! Run! Up there! There he is! Wait, you don't understand! Wait! Get him! Get him! Wait! Surround the block! Move! Move! This way. Hey, over here! This way. Cover all sides! ARMORY Stand back! There he is! In the church! Over there! Hold your fire! Freaks! All of you! All of you're freaks. Mutations. Hold it! You're freaks! I'm a man! The last man! Robert! They were afraid of me. They were afraid of me! They were afraid of me! They didn't know. THE END
