00:05:05And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth,
00:05:13both man and beast and the creeping thing and the fowls of the air.
00:05:17For it repenteth me that I have made them.
00:05:21♪♪
00:05:36Make that line fast.
00:05:39Everybody ashore.
00:05:41♪♪
00:05:56Strange.
00:05:58We can see only a small part of the island from this spot,
00:06:02but yet you can feel lack of welcome, lack of abiding life, huh?
00:06:07Yeah, I felt the same when I came here before to rescue your first one.
00:06:10I not only knew that they were gone, but that they were lost,
00:06:13completely and forever, body and soul.
00:06:15Please, Lieutenant, some of those men were our friends from the same institute.
00:06:19I'm sorry, Miss Honey.
00:06:20I'm not so sure you are right, Monsieur Quinlan.
00:06:23Maybe their bodies are gone, but who can tell of their souls, eh?
00:06:29Maybe if I go to them, they will answer.
00:06:31Their ghosts will answer.
00:06:34McClane!
00:06:36Hello!
00:06:37Hello!
00:06:38McClane!
00:06:45Where is the house, Lieutenant?
00:06:47You can't see it from the shore.
00:06:48It's back in the hills at the head of that gorge, just hidden in the cliff.
00:06:52How fitting.
00:06:53Might as well have a look at it.
00:06:55Well, they're coming in with a second load of supplies from the plane.
00:06:57I'll let it set right up.
00:07:05Hold your headway!
00:07:07You can approach!
00:07:09Taste it out of there!
00:07:16Well, get him up!
00:07:17I see him. He's on the bottom.
00:07:25Put the ball up there!
00:07:38God help us!
00:07:43Cover him.
00:07:54You know, I wish I'd get back.
00:07:56I don't like being out here all alone with old Tate's rigor mortis.
00:07:59Sam, how did a nervous guy like you ever get involved in demolitions work?
00:08:02Nervous? What do you mean, nervous?
00:08:04I'm not nervous.
00:08:05I'm just a little high and strong, that's all.
00:08:07Come on, help me get these pineapples inside.
00:08:09You know, I don't know what we're going to use these for out here anyway.
00:08:12Let's just practice pitching with those babies out there.
00:08:27Took his head off.
00:08:28His head?
00:08:29I'm afraid so.
00:08:31We're going to take him back to Antiwetok for burial.
00:08:34I hope that man's death is not an omen of things to come.
00:08:37Frankly, doctor, I wouldn't care to stay here with you.
00:08:40But if you run into trouble or you need extra supplies, you can always reach the base by radio.
00:08:44It isn't this rotten weather that will let us get back to the base at all.
00:08:48Something in the air is wrong.
00:08:51Can you tell me what it is, lieutenant?
00:08:53I don't know, sir.
00:08:55Maybe it's because there's no sound.
00:08:57No animal noises of any kind.
00:09:05Well, it looks like we got the dynamite by mistake.
00:09:07Looks like it.
00:09:08Our cart is back down to the beach.
00:09:13Oh, now, excuse me, doctor.
00:09:15That's quite all right.
00:09:16Just call me Marty.
00:09:17Okay, Marty.
00:09:21You know, the Navy boys really fixed this place up.
00:09:23I'm almost going to enjoy being here.
00:09:25Yeah, you'd never think it was a complete wreck a few months ago.
00:09:28I mean, it's been a while since I've been here.
00:09:31I'm going to enjoy being here.
00:09:32Yeah, you'd never think it was a complete wreck a few months ago.
00:09:34If you want to see a wreck, take a look at my back.
00:09:39Well, I'll be dark in a few minutes.
00:09:41Want to come watch the takeoff?
00:09:42I'd like to.
00:09:43I'll get the others.
00:09:44Lieutenant, I don't want to annoy you again, but nothing was left.
00:09:48Not a hand or fingernail clipping.
00:09:50Only McLean's journal.
00:09:51Well, that's all, doctor.
00:09:52That they are dead, I can't believe possible.
00:09:55But to vanish from the face of the earth.
00:09:57No.
00:09:58The Navy thinks they were all at sea in their small boat when the typhoon hit.
00:10:01Lost with all hands is an old story.
00:10:03Yes, but...
00:10:59Everybody okay?
00:11:00Yeah, it looks that way.
00:11:02You okay, Mac?
00:11:03Yeah, it's nothing.
00:11:04Getting off this old pile won't cure.
00:11:15One month!
00:11:16One month, no more!
00:11:17Oui!
00:11:18Oui!
00:11:19We'll watch you from the cliffs.
00:11:20Au revoir!
00:11:29Did you hear those sounds just before the quake?
00:11:32What sounds, mon ami?
00:11:33The deeper booming and rumbling.
00:11:35No, I'm afraid not.
00:11:37Dr. Carson means the explosions.
00:11:39We should get up to the cliffs.
00:11:46Hey, Hank, you're a scientist.
00:11:48How come then you're demoting like us from the sunk of dirt?
00:11:51I'm no scientist.
00:11:52I'm a technician and a handyman.
00:11:54So you still don't know what's going on.
00:11:56Will you remember that first big H-bomb test?
00:11:58The one that blew Eugelap Island right out of the ocean?
00:12:01Who forgets that?
00:12:02A tremendous amount of the radioactive fallout came this way.
00:12:05A great seething, burning cloud of it sank into this area,
00:12:09blanketing the island with hot ashes and radioactive seawater.
00:12:12Dr. Vigon's group is here to study fallout effects at their worst.
00:12:16Dr. James Carson is a geologist.
00:12:18He'll try to learn what's happening to the soil.
00:12:20The botanist, Jules Devereaux,
00:12:22The botanist, Jules Devereaux,
00:12:24will examine all the plant life for radiation poisoning.
00:12:26Martha Hunter and Dale Brewer are biologists.
00:12:29He works on land animalism while she takes care of the seafood.
00:12:32Dr. Carl Vigon is a nuclear physicist.
00:12:34He'll collect their findings and relate them to the present theories
00:12:37on the effects of too much radiation.
00:12:39We blow up mountains for the geologist Carson.
00:12:42But this is the second bunch of brains to come out here.
00:12:45What happened to the first?
00:12:46They were here, then a storm hits,
00:12:49and then we're gone.
00:12:51That's all anybody knows.
00:12:52Doesn't anybody wonder?
00:12:54Everybody wonders.
00:12:55I just don't like to talk about it.
00:12:57Come on, we'll miss the takeoff.
00:12:59Hank, get to the radio.
00:13:22There's something.
00:13:24It's a commercial station.
00:13:26Probably Manila or Samoa.
00:13:28It's all from beyond the area of disturbance.
00:13:33I don't get a thing on the Navy bands.
00:13:35Keep trying.
00:13:37All those men killed.
00:13:39We can't even send word through this storm.
00:13:44No.
00:13:45The Navy will assume that Lieutenant Quinlan decided to remain here
00:13:48rather than risk the storm.
00:13:50I know we talk.
00:13:51Probably getting as much static as we are.
00:13:53Probably.
00:13:54Which means we can't do anything until conditions improve.
00:13:57So why don't we let Hank keep trying while we begin our own work?
00:14:00We have to go over McLean's journal sooner or later,
00:14:02so it might as well be now.
00:14:04I don't know.
00:14:05I don't know.
00:14:06I don't know.
00:14:07I don't know.
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:09I don't know.
00:14:10I don't know.
00:14:11I don't know.
00:14:12It might as well be now.
00:14:13Then let us go into the living room.
00:14:23Thursday, March 11.
00:14:26Today, Dr. Van Dier's culture failed to produce any sign of bacteria.
00:14:31Though left for five days in the open.
00:14:33Friday, March 12.
00:14:35This afternoon, Professor Carter found a large piece of flesh
00:14:39having the same composition as that of the common earthworm,
00:14:42but measured 24 inches by 8.
00:14:46With this section as a measure,
00:14:47the worm-like creature would be more than 5 feet in length.
00:14:51Most intriguing is the tissue's consistency.
00:14:53It proved impossible to cut,
00:14:55knives passing through the flesh, leaving no mark.
00:14:59Fire was applied to the tissue,
00:15:00and the calorie result?
00:15:04The journal ends there.
00:15:13Well, it's getting very late.
00:15:15Why don't we work out tomorrow's schedule and then get some sleep?
00:15:18What about that 5-foot nightcrawler?
00:15:25Well, excuse me for being so stupid, me, in that book you're reading.
00:15:28We weren't laughing at you, Hank.
00:15:29It's just that McLean didn't really mean to imply
00:15:31that the flesh was from a big worm.
00:15:34He said from a worm-like creature.
00:15:36You know, it might have been a sea worm.
00:15:38They've been known to grow much longer than 5 feet.
00:15:41Well, excuse me for shooting my mouth off,
00:15:42but the journal didn't say anything about the sea.
00:15:48Just talked about worms.
00:16:01Worm-baiting
00:16:26Nothing in my experience leads me towards McLean's worm theory.
00:16:29Nothing.
00:16:31You would know better than I.
00:16:33But why, I ask, did the writer stop
00:16:35in the middle of a sentence?
00:16:36Yes, Wynker.
00:16:38Unless something really unusual happened,
00:16:40I'm sure he would have finished.
00:16:41We shall find out, I think.
00:16:43Well, Jim and I will head down the South Valley
00:16:45in the morning.
00:16:46You know, I haven't seen any insect life since we arrived.
00:16:48Shh.
00:16:49Quiet.
00:16:50Listen.

00:20:54Shh.
00:20:55You nearly frightened me to death.
00:20:56Well, no, I couldn't very well announce myself into water.
00:21:00Could I?
00:21:01Besides, you looked scared down there.
00:21:02Well, I was scared.
00:21:04And lost, too.
00:21:06You know, Dale, it's funny, but I was using a big black rock as a landmark.
00:21:11But when I swam back, the rock was gone.
00:21:14Well, I did see something move near you.
00:21:16You did?
00:21:17I wonder what it could have been.
00:21:19I don't know.
00:21:20Just a big black shape moving through the coast.
00:21:24Lion crabs and seagulls.
00:21:26Everything else is dead.
00:21:27Neil!
00:21:28Arthur!
00:21:31What's the matter, Carson?
00:21:33Come up the path.
00:21:34We'll meet you.
00:21:36Come up the path, son.
00:21:37Come on, honey.
00:21:43Oh, hold it.
00:21:44That rate, you'll drop right off.
00:21:45Off what?
00:21:46Come, see for yourself.
00:21:57But only this morning I came along this path on my way to the beach.
00:22:00And it wasn't there.
00:22:01You mean this pit wasn't here before?
00:22:03It has only appeared in the last 20 minutes.
00:22:06And it's at least 50 feet deep.
00:22:11Nothing but lion crabs.
00:22:13I want to go down there.
00:22:14No, why not?
00:22:15You are a geologist.
00:22:16You know that a second disturbance would cause a cave-in that would crush anybody down in the pit.
00:22:27He seems pretty definite, Jim.
00:22:29Is he right about a cave-in?
00:22:31He could be.
00:22:32Assuming this was caused by a disturbance.
00:22:35Why, it's glazed as though it had been fired in a kiln.
00:22:40Summers, you and fellows better put a couple of your lanterns around this pit
00:22:43so as to keep any of us from falling in in the middle of the night.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:47Come on, honey. Let's go back to the house.
00:22:57Martha.
00:22:59Awake.
00:23:00Martha Hunter.
00:23:02Awake.
00:23:05Awake, Martha.
00:23:07It is McClain.
00:23:10Awake.
00:23:13McClain?
00:23:15Martha.
00:23:17Come to me.
00:23:19Help me.
00:23:22Help me.
00:23:24Help me.
00:23:26Help me.
00:23:36Martha.
00:23:38Martha Hunter.
00:23:41Help me.
00:23:43Help me.
00:23:47Martha.
00:23:48Help me.
00:23:51Help me.
00:23:54Martha.
00:23:56Come to me.
00:24:09Jim, but...
00:24:11So you heard it too?
00:24:13Yes, it was awful McClain's voice.
00:24:15He called me as plain as day.
00:24:17Strange, because I only heard him call my name.
00:24:19How could the Navy search the whole island and miss a survivor?
00:24:22If he is a survivor.
00:24:24What does that mean? You heard him as well as I?
00:24:26Someone could have been imitating his voice.
00:24:28Who would do that?
00:24:29I don't know, but I do know that McClain's dead.
00:24:31Maybe, maybe not.
00:24:33I'm going to find out for sure.
00:24:42Jim, you're not going down there.
00:24:44Yes, I am.
00:24:45But Carl's against it.
00:24:46He's afraid of cave-ins.
00:24:47I'm not.
00:24:49Keep this on me and I'm out of sight.
00:24:51Jim, you don't know what's down there.
00:24:53What could be other than earth, water and a few land crabs?
00:25:15Jim?
00:25:18Jim!
00:25:23Jim!
00:25:32I see her.
00:25:36Martha.
00:25:37Marty.
00:25:38She has fainted, no more.
00:25:41It's all right, honey, it's all right.
00:25:44Where's Jim?
00:25:46He's in the pit.
00:25:48He went into the pit.
00:25:50I saw the rope go slack.
00:25:52He must have fallen during the quake.
00:25:54I warned him.
00:25:56Carson, can you hear me?
00:25:58Are you alive?
00:26:00My gun, my leg, it's broken.
00:26:03We are coming for you.
00:26:04Don't try to move.
00:26:06No, Jules.
00:26:07But we must go down to him.
00:26:08Not this way.
00:26:09The rope may be too short.
00:26:10Then how?
00:26:12Through the caves.
00:26:13Great caves to the sea.
00:26:15But how do you know the caves connect with the pit?
00:26:18Gentlemen, for reasons I have no idea,
00:26:19Dr. Carson also,
00:26:21these caves must join the pit
00:26:23because the pit was created from below,
00:26:25not from the surface.
00:26:27Dale, take Martha back to the house.
00:26:29The rest of us will look for Dr. Carson.
00:26:36Dale, I'm all right.
00:26:37They'll need you with them.
00:26:38If we can bring Dr. Carson out,
00:26:39two of us are enough.
00:26:41If we can't,
00:26:42a whole army will do us no good.
00:26:44Are you hiding something from us, Doc?
00:26:46A theory of a war.
00:26:48Maybe.
00:26:49Come.
00:26:50We must hurry.
00:26:53Are you all right?
00:26:55Just a little shaky.
00:26:57Let's get back to the house and get some coffee.
00:27:04I thought you were the boogeyman.
00:27:06I thought we heard a girl screaming during the quake.
00:27:08Did part of the cliffs fall away into the sea?
00:27:10Part of them.
00:27:11Well, it was pretty dark where we were,
00:27:13but it looked like the whole island was coming down.
00:27:15The boulders almost crashed us in the sea.
00:27:17The boulders almost crashed us in the tent.
00:27:19The whole island, yes.
00:27:21We must go faster.
00:27:22There is very little time.
00:27:27Little time for what?
00:27:29That is Dr. Wigan's small secret.
00:27:31Let us catch him and find out.
00:27:47Dr. Wigan.
00:28:14Doctor, why did you try to stop me from throwing that rock?
00:28:15Hopeless nothing.
00:28:16You ever see a bunch of them start on a wounded Marine?
00:28:18They'd finish him off in five minutes.
00:28:20It's all the more reason to get Jim out of that pit.
00:28:22Yes, all the more reason.
00:28:24Now what do you want with McLean's journal now, honey?
00:28:46I just thought I'd look through it and see what it was Max said about those great caves appearing on the sides of the hills.
00:28:52Well, it didn't say much, except that it always happened at night.
00:28:55She was right in here.
00:28:59There it is again.
00:29:00Another quake.
00:29:01No, the other sound.
00:29:02I heard it at the pit.
00:29:20You know, if we both hadn't heard it, I'd swear it was my own imagination.
00:29:29Dear, what can it be?
00:29:30I don't know, but I'm going to find out, and I'll stay here, honey.
00:29:33Don't go in there.
00:29:58There's light ahead.
00:29:59It's coming from the pit.
00:30:00Carlson, we are near you.
00:30:02Quiet.
00:30:03Come quickly.
00:30:05He's still alive.
00:30:06So let's get him out of here.
00:30:08We can get him out, but we must move with caution.
00:30:11Why?
00:30:19Do not go to him.
00:30:42Why not, Doctor?
00:30:43Blood.
00:30:44Where can he track himself?
00:30:45We will not find him tonight.
00:30:48We had better return in the morning when there's more light.
00:30:50I don't like the idea of leaving him here all night with a busted leg.
00:30:53Now do I.
00:30:54Up the rope, quickly.
00:30:55We might as well go back through the caves.
00:30:57No, up the rope.
00:30:58Dr. Voyger, you are a great nuclear physicist, while I am a simple provincial botanist.
00:31:06But there are things I do not understand.
00:31:08There are many things that I do not understand also, Jules.
00:31:11You had better climb.
00:31:12Our tent's just outside the cave.
00:31:14We don't have to go up the rope.
00:31:15Up the rope.
00:31:17That's what I was afraid of.
00:31:25It stopped.
00:31:31Whatever it was, it stopped.
00:31:34It stopped.
00:31:39Whatever it was, it must have damaged the wiring.
00:31:41Light one of the kerosene lamps, will you, honey?
00:32:04Here's your motive.
00:32:05Food.
00:32:06But not much, considering the size of the thing that did all of this.
00:32:13I guess there's no point waiting for the rest to get back.
00:32:17The storm should have let up enough for me to get through to the Navy now.
00:32:20Come on, honey.
00:32:23Oh, Dale.
00:32:25Whatever it was, it did this, deliberately destroy the radio.
00:32:28It had to be deliberate.
00:32:30Every piece of wiring has been ripped out and chopped to bits.
00:32:34Look, every tube has been sliced neatly in half.
00:32:38But it had to reach way into the radio, where the radio cable was.
00:32:42I had to reach in.
00:32:44I had to reach in.
00:32:46I have to reach in.
00:32:48I have to reach in.
00:32:50Every tube has been sliced neatly in half.
00:32:54But it had to reach way inside to do it without wrecking these cabinets.
00:33:01Well, all I can say is, why wasn't I invited to the party?
00:33:07Not funny, huh?
00:33:09Well, that's as it should be.
00:33:13Do you think you can fix it?
00:33:15Fix it? I'll need a whole new outfit from the bottom up.
00:33:18You have parts?
00:33:20Enough to build a new one?
00:33:23I don't know.
00:33:25Why do you suppose it didn't come through the door and get us, Carl?
00:33:27I don't know. I can only guess.
00:33:30It would take considerable power to keep the intruder behind this door.
00:33:34There is power in the lighting in the living room.
00:33:36You mean it's afraid of electricity?
00:33:38I think so. Have you any other ideas?
00:33:42Once upon a time, there was a mountain.
00:33:43Hmm?
00:33:44Yesterday, when we came to this island, there was a mountain out there.
00:33:48Today, there's no mountain.
00:33:52I am not surprised.
00:33:54You're not surprised at anything, are you, Doctor?
00:33:57I suppose you can tell us what tore up this room last night.
00:34:00No, I cannot tell you that.
00:34:05But I can tell you this.
00:34:08Everything that has happened from the death of the first sailor
00:34:10to the destruction of our radio
00:34:12must be somehow related.
00:34:14They are too far from the normal scheme of things to be separate accidents.
00:34:20If there is a single cause,
00:34:23then that cause is outside of nature as we know it.
00:34:25Yes. That is why I insisted on caution entering the caves.
00:34:30We are unquestionably on the brink of a great discovery.
00:34:34It is not likely that that discovery will be of a pleasant nature.
00:34:38That is the sum of my knowledge.
00:34:40If you need more, I suggest you ask Dr. MacLean,
00:34:42when next his voice calls in the night.
00:34:46Now, let us again seek Dr. Carson.
00:35:11I don't understand this.
00:35:13We've covered every exit from the base of the pit.
00:35:15Wonder to see what he couldn't have crawled this far.
00:35:18And yet, still no sign of him.
00:35:20Nowhere to be, eh, Carter?
00:35:24No! Get closer to the walls!
00:35:37Somebody to die quick! Top of my head!
00:35:41You, you'll need a tourniquet, too.
00:35:47Hello there! Anybody alive?
00:35:53He all right?
00:35:54How did you know we were in here?
00:35:55We didn't. We were on the other side of the island.
00:35:57Well, well, well, well, it used to be the other side of the island.
00:36:00Most of us have fallen to the drink already.
00:36:02So we ran in here when we heard you call.
00:36:04Call? We didn't call you.
00:36:06Whose voice did you hear?
00:36:07Well, it sounds like the other guy.
00:36:09You're the fellow bound to the pit.
00:36:10So he is still alive.
00:36:12If we do not move fast, Jules will not be alive.
00:36:15Come, give us a hand.
00:36:25This will help you sleep, Jules.
00:36:29Thank you, Martha.
00:36:31I could use some sleep.
00:36:36Monsieur, madame.
00:36:39Je voudrais présenter pour votre inscription
00:36:44la seule fleur unique au monde.
00:37:02Give me two.
00:37:03Here's two.
00:37:06And I'll take
00:37:07one.
00:37:10Bet you ten.
00:37:13Okay, I bet you ten.
00:37:15And I'll raise you ten.
00:37:17If you're not careful, you'll raise us both ten feet.
00:37:19What's the matter? Nervous?
00:37:21What do you mean nervous?
00:37:23Okay, what do you got?
00:37:25Three queens.
00:37:29Well, big deal. So you finally won a hand.
00:37:32I'm still 106 of dynamite and one wild explosion ahead of you.
00:37:35Wild explosion ahead of you?
00:37:42What's that?
00:37:47Sounds like a kid dragging a stick across a picket fence.
00:37:51We ain't got no picket fence out here.
00:38:01Professor Devereaux.
00:38:05Who is there?
00:38:07Seaman Rob Fellows.
00:38:09And Sam Summers.
00:38:11We found Dr. Carson.
00:38:19Where are you?
00:38:21We're outside.
00:38:22We can take you to Dr. Carson, but you've got to be quiet.
00:38:26Very quiet.
00:38:28Will you come?
00:38:30Yes.
00:38:32Come down the path.
00:38:33Come down the path toward the big pit.
00:38:36We'll meet you there. I'll lead you to Carson.
00:38:39I will be there.
00:39:04Summers.
00:39:18Fellows.
00:39:20Summers.
00:39:22We're right here, Professor.
00:39:34It sounded like Jules.
00:39:36Devereaux?
00:39:37Yes.
00:39:38What is it?
00:39:40I am here.
00:39:41Are you all right?
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:43The pain is less.
00:39:45Keep talking.
00:39:47We thought we heard you cry out.
00:39:49I have been asleep.
00:39:51Perhaps you were talking to yourself.
00:39:53I'm not talking to myself.
00:39:55I'm not talking to myself.
00:39:57I'm not talking to myself.
00:39:59I'm not talking to myself.
00:40:01I'm not talking to myself.
00:40:03Are you talking in your sleep?
00:40:04Yes.
00:40:05Then I hope I did not
00:40:07blame the raptures of any fair ladies I may have known.
00:40:11You didn't mention any names.
00:40:14I never asked any names.
00:40:16Tell me of this cry you heard.
00:40:18It sounded like Jules.
00:40:20It sounded like your death agony.
00:40:22It hardly could have been me, Doctor.
00:40:25I have been here all this time dreaming about all the things I might learn with only my left hand.
00:40:31I dreamed it was fixed with a hook, and when I...
00:40:36Congratulations, Dr. Boyer.
00:40:40Where are you?
00:40:41Where all of you soon will be.
00:40:43I shall be back tomorrow night.
00:40:46Bonsoir.
00:40:47Demo!
00:40:49Demo!
00:40:53What does it mean, Doctor?
00:40:56He is dead.
00:40:57But he spoke, Carl.
00:40:59Is this supposed to be a ghost story?
00:41:02No, I do not believe in ghosts.
00:41:04We are dealing with a man who is dead,
00:41:06but whose voice and memory live.
00:41:09How this can be, I do not know,
00:41:11but its implications are far more terrible
00:41:13than any ghost could ever be.
00:41:31But what happened to their bodies, Carl?
00:41:33They were eaten.
00:41:34Even the bones?
00:41:35The bones are, I think, hidden.
00:41:37Most of the dynamite is gone.
00:41:39Huh? Dynamite?
00:41:40But not for grenades.
00:41:42I do not understand it.
00:41:44I do not understand it.
00:41:46Well, we may as well pick up what is left.
00:41:48Yes, we shall need them.
00:41:50We shall have to stay away from the beach hereafter.
00:41:52I do not understand it.
00:41:54I do not understand it.
00:41:56I do not understand it.
00:41:58I do not understand it.
00:42:01Come, Hank.
00:42:02We still have the radio to repair.
00:42:04Tonight we will wait for Jules to speak to us.
00:42:20Well, it's long after dark.
00:42:22You should have heard it by now.
00:42:24We will hear.
00:42:26Be patient.
00:42:27Good evening, Mr. Mead.
00:42:30I am glad you are all still with us.
00:42:32Be not shocked that the weapon speaks.
00:42:34I transmit, so I must be received.
00:42:37Hearken to all things metal,
00:42:39for I may be in them.
00:42:41What do you want?
00:42:43First I want to reassure you
00:42:45that I am of sound mind,
00:42:47if not of body.
00:42:49Something remarkable has happened to me.
00:42:51I would like all of you to come
00:42:53and see for yourselves.
00:42:55Where are you, Jules?
00:42:57In the caves.
00:43:00At the bottom of Carson's Peak.
00:43:02And what about Carson?
00:43:04I'm here too.
00:43:06My leg no longer troubles me.
00:43:08It's almost exhilarating.
00:43:10Will you come?
00:43:12Yes, beg for us.
00:43:14We'll wait.
00:43:16Let's go.
00:43:18We shall need the equipment.
00:43:22We must go.
00:43:24We have to find out.
00:43:30We are here.
00:43:32Show yourself.
00:44:30I killed it.
00:44:32Yes, by the sheerest luck.
00:44:35Why didn't the grenades hurt it?
00:44:37Remember what the turtle said
00:44:39about the worm?
00:44:41Yeah, that a knife passed through it like water.
00:44:44The stone penetrated its brain
00:44:46or motor area
00:44:48or whatever keeps the thing alive.
00:44:50I think if we removed the stone
00:44:52the crab would return to life.
00:44:54Let's just leave it be, huh?
00:44:56We've rebelled.
00:45:00If a blade passes through it
00:45:02like a finger through mercury
00:45:04then like a river of mercury
00:45:06we should be able to sever a part of it
00:45:08by completely separating it
00:45:10from the rest of the body.
00:45:13Firstly...
00:45:17There.
00:45:19Now we have a specimen.
00:45:21Set your dynamite, Hank.
00:45:24Do you have any theories, Doctor?
00:45:26Perhaps.
00:45:29What I can tell you now
00:45:31is that this is a male land crab
00:45:33which you as a biologist
00:45:35will know better than I.
00:45:37Yes, Carl.
00:45:39I know the species appears
00:45:41to be that of an ordinary land crab
00:45:43but...
00:45:45Quickly!
00:45:48Ow!
00:45:52You have destroyed McLean
00:45:54and all of his party.
00:45:56You have destroyed them
00:45:58and tried to destroy me.
00:46:00This, my friend,
00:46:02was one great mistake.
00:46:18Well, Doctor?
00:46:20This is ridiculous.
00:46:22The molecular structure of this crab
00:46:24is entirely disrupted.
00:46:26There is no cohesion between the atoms.
00:46:28I don't understand.
00:46:30Nor do I.
00:46:32Apparently we have one of those
00:46:34biological freaks resulting from
00:46:36an overdose of radiation poisoning.
00:46:38The way to explain it is...
00:46:40Look, electricity.
00:46:42The free electron in the copper atom
00:46:44breaks off to circle the next atom
00:46:47with a charge along the wire.
00:46:49Do you follow me, Hank?
00:46:51I think so.
00:46:53The free electrons jump from atom to atom
00:46:55along the copper at the speed of light.
00:46:57I remember that from high school.
00:46:59Yes, atom to atom.
00:47:01Well, something like that has happened to our crab.
00:47:03But instead of free electrons
00:47:05the crab has free atoms
00:47:07all disconnected.
00:47:11It's like a mass of liquid
00:47:14with a permanent shape.
00:47:16Any matter, therefore,
00:47:18that the crab eats
00:47:20will be assimilated in its body of solid energy
00:47:22becoming part of the crab.
00:47:24Like the bodies of the dead men?
00:47:26Yes, and their brain tissue
00:47:28which, after all, is nothing more than
00:47:30a storage house for electrical impulses.
00:47:32That means that the crab
00:47:34can eat his victim's brain
00:47:36absorbing his mind intact and working.
00:47:38It's as good a theory as any other
00:47:40to explain what's happened.
00:47:43I can't explain why Jules and Carson's minds
00:47:45have turned against us.
00:47:47Preservation of the species.
00:47:49Once they were men,
00:47:51now they are land crabs.
00:47:53Okay, Professor, how are the crabs blowing up the island?
00:47:55I am not sure,
00:47:57but imagine they are able to send out arcs of heat.
00:47:59They are pecked with it.
00:48:01The sides of the pit were glazed
00:48:03as if the rock were melted.
00:48:05They can melt and fuse parts of the caverns,
00:48:07explode the materials contained
00:48:09and bring about the slides.
00:48:12The crabs were on the verge of a blessed event.
00:48:14What's that? What's that?
00:48:16Or is this the one you killed?
00:48:18No, it is still alive. We did not kill it.
00:48:20Notice the belt of yellow fatter
00:48:22on the base of the shell?
00:48:24It would indicate that she's in a very delicate condition
00:48:26and pretty close, too.
00:48:28I, for one, should not like to be around
00:48:30to hear the patter of so many tiny feet.
00:48:32Then we've got to kill it. Kill it.
00:48:34It's easier said than done, Hank.
00:48:36Now wait. This needs some thought.
00:48:38Doctor, you're not going to suggest
00:48:41No, thank you, Martha.
00:48:43I have no ambition toward becoming a mad scientist.
00:48:45But I do think we ought to try and capture the thing.
00:48:47Would you not like to examine a live specimen?
00:48:49Certainly I would.
00:48:51But I had a chance to see
00:48:53how the specimen examined the lab wall last night.
00:48:55Hey, take a look at this.
00:49:03You said something about the crab being afraid of electricity, Doctor.
00:49:05Let's find out.
00:49:11Ashes!
00:49:13The electricity destroyed the leg in less than a second.
00:49:15That proves that the crab is negatively charged.
00:49:17Yes.
00:49:19Then, Hank, you must create a trap of positive energy.
00:49:25Ha! It works!
00:49:27Sure it does, Doctor.
00:49:29It's easier to build than a model airplane.
00:49:31The charge must be just strong enough
00:49:33to de-energize the crab.
00:49:35Long enough for us to remove the claws and cage it.
00:49:37But not so strong that it can be used
00:49:39to kill the thing.
00:49:41That's fine, Carol.
00:49:43But how do we get the crab to step into it?
00:49:45Apparently, the creature sleeps by daytime.
00:49:47We must take the ark
00:49:49and place it in one of the well-traveled cave routes.
00:49:51He has eight legs with which to step on the plate.
00:49:53I am sure he will manage.
00:49:55Yes, but you'd better select a new approach to the cave.
00:49:57The beach entrance is completely underwater
00:49:59and the pit is...
00:50:05He is using the dynamite!
00:50:08We must hurry!
00:50:15You've already lowered the electric eyes into the cave?
00:50:17Yes. You must place them either side of one of the upper caves.
00:50:21The lower caverns will be flooded by now.
00:50:23Use the underwater channels to the ocean as your escape.
00:50:25We'll try to attract his attention from up here.
00:50:27Take care, Hank.
00:50:38I'll plant this one. You take the other one.
00:50:40Yes, sir.
00:50:52I'll plant this one. You take the other one.
00:50:54Yes, sir.
00:50:57We'd better get to work.
00:50:59I'll plant this one. You take the other one.
00:51:01Yes, sir.
00:51:19It's lonely in here.
00:51:23It's lonely everywhere.
00:51:26You know, I bet you can even be lonesome in a crowd.
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:32Unless, of course, you've found that special someone.
00:51:34Have you found him yet?
00:51:38Why do you ask?
00:51:40Because I...
00:51:44Behind that wall!
00:51:56This might be the perfect time
00:51:58to collect some of Dr. Vigan's mercury.
00:52:00If I can't make it back,
00:52:02you get out of here as fast as you can.
00:52:16To the water!
00:52:26To the water!
00:52:32The water's out of that tunnel.
00:52:40Dale.
00:52:42They just ran across the bottom of the pit into another cave.
00:52:44Martha!
00:52:46Let's get down to the sea entrance.
00:52:55Let's get down to the sea entrance.
00:53:26Dale!
00:53:28Dale!
00:53:34Dale!
00:53:36Dale!
00:53:38Dale!
00:53:40Dale!
00:53:42Dale!
00:53:44Dale!
00:53:46Dale!
00:53:48Dale!
00:53:50Dale!
00:53:52Dale!
00:53:55Dale!
00:53:57Dale!
00:53:59Dale!
00:54:03Dale!
00:54:05Dale!
00:54:07Dale!
00:54:09Dale!
00:54:11Dale!
00:54:13Dale!
00:54:15Dale!
00:54:17Dale!
00:54:19Dale!
00:54:21Dale!
00:54:24It's no good shooting, Dale.
00:54:26The bullets pass through it,
00:54:28just like x-rays.
00:54:30So,
00:54:32you have wounded me.
00:54:34I must grow a new claw.
00:54:36Well and good.
00:54:38For I can do it in a day.
00:54:40But will you grow new lives
00:54:42when I have taken yours from you?
00:54:53Do you think it will work now, Hank?
00:55:10It should.
00:55:11Everything's put together.
00:55:12The generator's always worked.
00:55:13All we have to worry about is the strength of our signal.
00:55:14That is if Dr. Devereaux and Carson will leave us alone long enough to try it out.
00:55:20I'm afraid they won't.
00:55:21Rather than our receiving radio signals, they would prefer to receive us in that great common
00:55:27stomach of theirs.
00:55:28Well, come on, Carl.
00:55:29Let's go out and see what's left of this rock.
00:55:31I hope there's still something left upon which to stand.
00:55:34Well, I guess it's about time I fixed us some food.
00:55:47There used to be ridges there for maybe two miles.
00:55:53Now there's less than half a city block.
00:55:55Soon we will have nowhere to run.
00:55:57That's the idea, isn't it?
00:55:58The path is still there.
00:55:59Yes, Carl, but where does it lead?
00:56:00To the pit and to the sea.
00:56:01At least to the sea.
00:56:02We'll soon find out.
00:56:04Aloha, Malahinis.
00:56:05This is your favorite dish jockey, Pineapple Joe.
00:56:06Listen now to Mokakima and his Molokai boys playing Moana, Loa, Lova.
00:56:07It's working.
00:56:08Only the receiver, not the transmitter.
00:56:09Well, can you fix it?
00:56:10I don't know.
00:56:11Well, I'll try.
00:56:12I'll try.
00:56:13I think it's working.
00:56:14It's working.
00:56:15It's working.
00:56:16Well, let's go.
00:56:17We'll have to get back to the prime minister.
00:56:18I'm going to see.
00:56:19Well, I'll go see.
00:56:20I'll go see.
00:56:21I'll go see.
00:56:22I'm going to see.
00:56:23I'm going to see.
00:56:24I'm going to see.
00:56:25I'll go see.
00:56:26I'm going to see.
00:56:27I'm going to see.
00:56:28Only the receiver, not the transmitter.
00:56:31Well, can you fix it?
00:56:32I don't know.
00:56:34Maybe with this telegraph key and a Morse code set up.
00:56:39Well, we don't have to worry about the pit any longer,
00:56:40Carl.
00:56:41No.
00:56:42Shall we go?
00:56:43Might as well.
00:56:46It's not wasting any time.
00:56:47The sound came from over there.
00:56:49Let's go.
00:56:51Well, Hank, I don't know what we'd have done without you.
00:56:53Where did you ever learn to fix all these things?
00:56:56In the Navy during the war.
00:56:58And I knocked around a lot on the radio and the TV
00:57:00of repair business.
00:57:01Ended up in the South Pacific?
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:06How'd you get here?
00:57:07Well, after Dale and I graduated,
00:57:09we stayed on at the Institute in research.
00:57:12We've been together ever since?
00:57:13Uh-huh.
00:57:17And when his promotion comes through,
00:57:19we'll be making it a lifetime partnership.
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:26Well, let's go find Carl and Dale
00:57:28and tell them this thing works.
00:57:29All right.
00:57:36Is that not oil?
00:57:38Yes, it is, Carl.
00:57:42I've never heard of oil being found
00:57:43on the Pacific Islands before.
00:57:45The detonations must have opened a source deep in the island.
00:57:49But look, it seems to be coming from two sources.
00:57:51I suggest we trace them.
00:57:53Do you want to follow this oil underground?
00:57:54I feel we must.
00:57:56But the crab, Carl.
00:57:57The crab is like a rattlesnake.
00:57:59It can be heard long before it can be seen.
00:58:01I believe we can keep out of its way
00:58:03if we only remain alert.
00:58:05He knows this better than we do.
00:58:07That is why he's trying to reduce
00:58:08this island to a small corner from which we cannot escape.
00:58:12All right.
00:58:13But if the first sound of a rattle, get out of it, huh?
00:58:15All right, don't worry.
00:58:17Don't worry.
00:58:18You follow this stream, and I shall follow the other one.
00:58:27Oh, no.
00:58:28Oh, no.
00:58:29Oh, no.
