00:02:52Hey, there you go, kid.
00:02:55♪♪
00:03:00Hey, go ahead and drink up, kid.
00:03:03Yeah.
00:03:04Drink up.
00:03:05Get it while you can.
00:03:07Come on, kid.
00:03:08Let me buy you a drink.
00:03:10You got to learn to stand up and take your medicine like a man.
00:03:13♪♪
00:03:18Getting on into drinking time.
00:03:21It's the golden hours, boy.
00:03:23Full of banjo dust and starry-eyed rods looking for a good time.
00:03:28What do you say, champ?
00:03:30Let's go on up to the Comstock for a party.
00:03:32How about it, folks?
00:03:34Let's go up to Virginia City.
00:03:36It's all on me.
00:03:37All on Elbow Justice.
00:03:40♪♪
00:03:51Whoo-hoo!
00:03:53♪♪
00:03:57Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:03:59Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:04:01Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:04:08Ha!
00:04:20Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:04:31You sure you know where you're taking us?
00:04:38A lot of deserted looking mountains.
00:04:40Listen, honey.
00:04:41These old mountains helped the Union pay for the war against the South.
00:04:45Why, a hundred years ago, this Comstock load was crawling with miners from all over the world.
00:04:51Billions came out of the ground every month.
00:04:54Guess people living in the Comstock nowadays kind of wish they could go back.
00:04:59You know, living in the past ain't so bad when you think about it.

00:07:24Ah!
00:07:25Ah!
00:07:26Okay, okay, that stuff doesn't go in this town.
00:07:29You're 86, kid. Get the hell out of here.
00:07:32This bar money won't even pay for the drinks you ordered.
00:07:35Now go on. Get.
00:07:39Mr. Maldove, this kid's trying to cause trouble.
00:07:42He's interrupting our music.
00:07:44Folks around here are trying to enjoy themselves.
00:07:47He tried to paw me, Mr. Maldove.
00:07:49Then he calls me a thief.
00:07:51Says I stole his lousy few bucks.
00:07:53You are a liar.
00:07:55You're all a bunch of animals in here.
00:07:58We don't treat ladies like that up here.
00:08:00We're civilized.
00:08:02We don't tolerate anarchy.
00:08:07My sheep are more civilized than you.
00:08:10Kill him.
00:08:13All right. Knock it off.
00:08:16Get him outside.
00:08:26How you feeling now?
00:08:28That cold cloth help any?
00:08:30Yeah. Thanks.
00:08:32Boy, they really work you kids over up here.
00:08:36When my students come up to visit me,
00:08:39I try to keep them out of the tourist saloons.
00:08:42Guess the bright lights and music are too much.
00:08:46The old Leora the Comstock.
00:08:48You a schoolteacher?
00:08:50I'm head of the anthropology department
00:08:52at the university in Reno.
00:08:54I wanted to go to the university,
00:08:56but I had to stay and work on Dad's sheep ranch.
00:09:00Small.
00:09:03Before Mom and Dad died,
00:09:05they were saving up to go home to the Basque country
00:09:08and leave me tend to things.
00:09:11My life was always pretty well laid out for me.
00:09:15Just me and the land.
00:09:17What's your name, son?
00:09:19Eddie. Eddie Echeverria.
00:09:21Well, Eddie Echeverria,
00:09:23looks like your clock's waited up for you.
00:09:25Go on in now and sleep off that alcohol.
00:09:28You'll be all right by tomorrow.
00:09:30Maybe I'll look in on you.
00:09:32Yeah, sleep.
00:09:34Thanks, mister.
00:09:48Hey, how's all God's children tonight?
00:09:52Hello, hello.
00:09:54Hello, hello.
00:10:21Daddy.
00:10:24Daddy.
00:10:28Daddy.
00:10:39Daddy.
00:10:43Daddy.
00:10:45Daddy.
00:10:48Daddy.
00:10:52Daddy.
00:11:03Daddy.
00:11:16Well, I'm glad we're going to look in on Eddie.
00:11:19It's really a sick scene beating up on people.
00:11:22Couldn't you see who did it, Dr. Clemens?
00:11:24It was too dark.
00:11:26They pushed him out the door.
00:11:28I found him in the alley behind the bar.
00:11:30I've heard those friends of Silverdale's
00:11:33are all members of a secret society.
00:11:35The 601 came into existence in 1870.
00:11:39Pretty effective brand of frontier justice.
00:11:42But Silverdale wouldn't be mixed up in anything violent.
00:11:46After all, his money restored half the town.
00:11:49He's a respected historian.
00:11:52Come on, Mariposa, let's cut the daydreams and find Eddie.
00:12:04Looks deserted.
00:12:06This is where I left him last night.
00:12:08Eddie.
00:12:10Eddie.
00:12:17Eddie.
00:12:20Eddie.
00:12:22Maybe he's in the hills with his sheep.
00:12:24Eddie.
00:12:26Eddie.
00:12:28Eddie.
00:12:35Eddie.
00:12:39Eddie.
00:12:47Eddie.
00:12:50Eddie.
00:12:52My God.
00:12:54Mariposa, get his blanket.
00:12:56He's been in shock.
00:12:57He'll be okay.
00:12:58We'll take you up to the lab for a few days and look after you.
00:13:01Don't worry, Eddie.
00:13:03I think we've all stumbled onto an amazing event.
00:13:06Almost incredible from a scientific standpoint.
00:13:12On April 21st, found half-formed embryo alive and breathing.
00:13:15Possibly the result of chromosomic breakdown and cross-fertilization.
00:13:19Incubation machine for transport to private test laboratory at Indian Flats, immediate priority.
00:13:25Witnessed by my research assistant, Mariposa DeQuill, and Eduardo Echeverria, sheep rancher.
00:13:30Near Mount Sugarloaf, Nevada.
00:13:45Good morning.
00:13:47Beautiful weather today.
00:13:48Clear as a bell.
00:13:51No smog up in these mountains, eh, Mr. Silverdale?
00:13:55Tourists.
00:13:57Every year they come like locusts.
00:14:01I say good morning, Charles.
00:14:06Here are some papers you should sign.
00:14:11Here are some papers you should sign.
00:14:17Anything interesting happening on C Street?
00:14:21Philip, you know how difficult it is for me to conduct business before breakfast.
00:14:28However, you might be interested to see some of our local citizens up early.
00:14:34Soliciting the tourist dollar.
00:14:41Hmm.
00:14:44I don't know why you trust a woman like Madame Walter.
00:14:48She's really quite offensive.
00:14:51Couldn't we move her down in the canyon?
00:14:54At least she wouldn't be advertising on the main street of our town.
00:14:58No, Philip.
00:15:01When I restored this town,
00:15:05when I published my first historical study of the Comstock,
00:15:09I insisted on absolute attention to detail.
00:15:13After all, Madame Walter's grandmother founded her establishment in 1863.
00:15:18She's a very important detail, Philip.
00:15:22At least she does contribute to our historical society's theater fund.
00:15:28Yes, she does, Philip.
00:15:31Yes, she does indeed.
00:15:34Dr. Clemens seems to be hauling more equipment out to Indian Flats.
00:15:39Morning, Doc.
00:15:40Where are you going so early in the morning?
00:15:42Hey, that's the kid that tried to rough me up.
00:15:44Take it easy, Wendy. Doc Clemens will take care of you.
00:15:47Hey, Mariposa, when are you coming over to have your fortune told?
00:16:32Hey!
00:16:39Pick it up, Eddie! Move!
00:16:48It's going to be okay, right, Doc?
00:16:50It's going to live.
00:16:52It's not going to die, Doc. It can't die.
00:16:55Do something!
00:16:57We need oxygen, quick.
00:16:59Doc, get it into the lab. I'll get the door.
00:17:02Come on, you two, move!
00:17:08Set it down here.
00:17:14Here's the oxygen tank hookup.
00:17:16Good.
00:17:21It's still alive.
00:17:24It's just nearing the empty zone.
00:17:26More pressure. Open it all the way.
00:17:32I think we've made it.
00:17:34Stabilize the pressure.
00:17:37The pressure is stabilized at 7.9.6, Dr. Clemens.
00:17:41It's going to live. It's really a miracle.
00:17:44We've been lucky, Eddie.
00:17:46I wonder how long it will be before...
00:17:48Eddie, I want you to let us keep this hybrid organism.
00:17:51I want you to let us keep this hybrid organism here,
00:17:54in my private laboratory.
00:17:56If we can keep it alive,
00:17:58it may provide the proof I need
00:18:00for a certain theory of cellular realignment
00:18:03that I've been working on since I came up here.
00:18:10As a matter of fact,
00:18:12I came out to this university from Cambridge
00:18:15precisely so that I could get up into these mountains
00:18:18and research some unusual fossil imprints
00:18:21that I found in the abandoned mines
00:18:241,500 feet under the earth.
00:18:28That's why I must ask you to keep this discovery
00:18:31a top secret, Eddie.
00:18:34You understand,
00:18:36it's not only the safest procedure for the embryo,
00:18:39it's also in the best interest of the scientific community.
00:18:43No, Mr. Barnstable.
00:18:50My property is definitely not for sale.
00:18:54Nor, may I venture to add,
00:18:56is that of my associates
00:18:58in the Comstock Historical Society Trust.
00:19:01This, of course, includes our leasehold on the mines,
00:19:04both here and in Gold Hill.
00:19:06My client is a far-sighted investor.
00:19:09He was one of the pioneers in the space exploration program.
00:19:13We must all move at the time, sir.
00:19:17Seven million dollars,
00:19:19and we'll pick up your letter stock.
00:19:22I think not, Mr. Barnstable.
00:19:27Ten million, with options, Mr. Silverdale?
00:19:30No, Mr. Barnstable.
00:19:33I hope I do not appear rude,
00:19:35but your world is so far removed from mine.
00:19:39I have dedicated my life
00:19:41to the restoration of this famous Bonanza Citadel.
00:19:45It has become a historical landmark.
00:19:49In 1874, Ulysses S. Grant spoke from this same balcony.
00:19:55He said,
00:19:58In 1874, Ulysses S. Grant spoke from this same balcony.
00:20:04Money cannot buy immortality, Barnstable.
00:20:08Each Sunday after church,
00:20:10we celebrate a little polite communion together.
00:20:15We dress in honor of this great old mansion's heritage.
00:20:20My associate, Philip Meldove,
00:20:22Christopher Barnstable,
00:20:24and his wife,
00:20:26Mrs. Barnstable.
00:20:29I have a great deal of respect for you,
00:20:32Mr. Barnstable.
00:20:35My associate, Philip Meldove,
00:20:37Christopher Barnstable.
00:20:38Philip Meldove, I know the name. How do you do, sir?
00:20:40Welcome, Mr. Barnstable.
00:20:43Mr. Barnstable has been trying to buy the Comstock
00:20:47from me this morning, Philip.
00:20:52Hello, Florence. Nice to see you.
00:20:54Tom, how's the family?
00:20:57Madame Boupaye, Monsieur Boupaye, ça va?
00:21:01Mr. Barnstable is an emissary from the East.
00:21:05Or is it from the Reich Tool and Mining Industries?
00:21:10You are very well informed, sir.
00:21:13An amazing man.
00:21:14The price of gold and silver is going up on the international market.
00:21:18Yes, and our mysterious Mr. Reich
00:21:21would like to get his hands on our mining leases.
00:21:24Eh, Barnstable?
00:21:25We all know the expense of going to the lower level,
00:21:28but might it be worth it if the price of gold was up?
00:21:32A little champagne, sir?
00:21:34I hope these good people will be more anxious to do business than you, sir.
00:21:53Good morning.
00:21:55Up early, Mr. Meldove?
00:21:58Beautiful day, isn't it?
00:22:00That's one of the pleasures of living in the Comstock, Mike.
00:22:03Tell me, have you turned up any interesting curios recently?
00:22:08Nothing too much.
00:22:10Last week I found some interesting things, though.
00:22:13What's that?
00:22:14What did you find?
00:22:17I'm sure it can tell a lot about folks
00:22:19and the stuff they throw out into the garbage.
00:22:21You better tell me damn fast, Mike.
00:22:23I saw some funny-looking stuff.
00:22:25Funny-smelling, too.
00:22:28Wrapped up in a bunch of sheets.
00:22:31Must have been too soiled to send to the laundry.
00:22:33Where'd it come from?
00:22:34From docks out in Indian Flats.
00:22:36Listen, Mike, from now on,
00:22:38I want a complete report on all waste from that laboratory.
00:22:41I've suspected for a long time
00:22:44that something perverse has been going on up there.
00:22:49He's at it again.
00:22:51He's at it again.
00:22:57He's up to something, all right.
00:22:59Get that box. Hurry.
00:23:03There's nothing but paper.
00:23:05Nothing but...
00:23:09Look.
00:23:11Look at this glove.
00:23:13He's been eaten away by this foul-smelling stuff.
00:23:17That maniac has a dead body up there.
00:23:21Quiet, sir.
00:23:24Come on up here.
00:23:26Here.
00:23:28Up. That's it.
00:23:30Okay, listen. Now, shut up.
00:23:31Come on.
00:23:32Here, chew on this. It'll calm you down.
00:23:34That's it.
00:23:35That's it.
00:23:37That's it.
00:23:39That's it.
00:23:40That'll calm you down.
00:23:41That's it.
00:23:42Get out.
00:23:53Hey, Sheriff.
00:23:55Sheriff Gordon?
00:23:56Are you up there?
00:23:58We need some equipment.
00:23:59We're on our way to the lab.
00:24:02I'm closed.
00:24:03I'm working on the county communication system.
00:24:06Mr. Silverdale wants it finished before the tourist festival.
00:24:09I've got to get some electrical cable and some fuses for Dr. Clemens.
00:24:13He needs them tonight.
00:24:14It's too late to make the supply house in Reno.
00:24:18Hold it right there, Mariposa.
00:24:20The radio shop is off-limits by order of the town council.
00:24:24Now, the cable's down in the yard.
00:24:26I know exactly where it is, but I'll get it for you.
00:24:40There.
00:24:41Now you can beat it out of here and let me get back to work.
00:24:43Thanks a lot, Sheriff.
00:24:44Dr. Clemens said to put these on his bill.
00:24:46We really appreciate you taking time away.
00:24:54Hey.
00:24:55Who's that in the Jeep?
00:24:56Oh, just a friend.
00:24:58Thanks again, Sheriff.
00:25:00I've got to get back now.
00:25:01The professor has a project tonight.
00:25:10Looks like your friend took a hike down the canyon, Mariposa.
00:25:14Blah!
00:25:16Blah!
00:25:18Blah!
00:25:20Lousy darn weird kid.
00:25:22You've got no respect, you hear me?
00:25:25I'm going to get you for this.
00:25:27You little bastard!
00:25:29You weirdo!
00:25:31I couldn't help myself, Mariposa.
00:25:32He thinks he's such a big deal.
00:25:34Walking around like he's the head of the FBI.
00:25:36He'd like to bug the whole town.
00:25:38You're right, Eddie.
00:25:45Come on.
00:25:46Let's walk up to Captain Story's monument.
00:25:51Coming.
00:25:53Look at this place.
00:25:54It's really great.
00:25:57Come on.
00:25:58I'll take you to the monument.
00:26:00He was killed in an attack on Chief Winnemucca's Paiute Nation
00:26:04after the Civil War ended.
00:26:06Look, there's Sugarloaf, Eddie.
00:26:08It's where they rode into the Indian's Valley.
00:26:10Hey, shouldn't we get that cable back to Doc Clemens?
00:26:13Indians say they owe their origin to the marriage of a white wolf and a princess.
00:26:18The wolf turned into a rock at the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain.
00:26:22And the princess, she turned into a rock.
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:25The wolf turned into a rock at the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain.
00:26:31Madam Alta told me about it when she read my fortune.
00:26:34Maybe I ought to get back and do some work.
00:26:36You care about your flock, don't you?
00:26:39I mean, they're like your children.
00:26:44It's hard to explain in words.
00:26:48I guess I like being alone in the mountains, close to the earth.
00:26:51When I had this vision, it seemed like the whole sky opened up,
00:26:58filling the barn with gold dust.
00:27:01And the sheep started moaning and spinning around my head.
00:27:07And I looked up, and the sky was on fire.
00:27:11Oh, it was beautiful, like in the Bible.
00:27:16And then, this little thing was born.
00:27:19Screaming before my eyes, lit up so bright it blinded me to look at him.
00:27:26You must think I'm crazy, being a scientist.
00:27:30No, I don't think you're crazy.
00:27:34I think something wonderful has happened.
00:27:49THE BODY OF A SHEEP
00:28:05Bone structure appears related to anatomy of ruminant mammals,
00:28:08constituting the genus Ovis bovidi, closely allied to Ovis aries.
00:28:12However, domestic sheep's wool appears to be growing only on lower portions of face and body.
00:28:16Weight, 47.6 pounds.
00:28:18Length, 51 inches.
00:28:20Response to injection of 1% immunosalicylic acid is 8%
00:28:24Ventilinous feeding continues.
00:28:26Respiration appears normal, with still no apparent signs of physical activity.
00:28:30Body is immobile, as if in a deep sleep.
00:28:36By all rational theory, the embryo should be dead.
00:28:39I think the time has come to advance it to the examining table.
00:28:47THE BODY OF A SHEEP
00:28:51My God!
00:28:57What do you see this time, Madame Alter?
00:28:59I see a great machine.
00:29:01It is a machine of science.
00:29:04A machine of death.
00:29:07You're sowing the seeds of your own destruction, my child.
00:29:10Strong psychic configurations hover over your every action.
00:29:15These mountains hold danger for you.
00:29:17Even as I speak, the ground trembles with evil.
00:29:20I can feel the vibrations here.
00:29:23They come from deep within the center of Mother Earth,
00:29:27through underground caverns.
00:29:29I feel no danger, Madame Alter.
00:29:31Psychic phenomenon is an extension of natural law,
00:29:35a science, not superstition.
00:29:37You have visited my grandmother,
00:29:39the minor Osiris.
00:29:41She lies in a silver casket at the graveyard,
00:29:44looking out over Sugarloaf Mountain.
00:29:48She has seen you there,
00:29:50making love to a boy.
00:29:52How did you know that?
00:29:53No one was there that afternoon.
00:29:55I have been warned by the spirits of a thousand miners.
00:29:58Our air will be filled with cinders.
00:30:00You must leave this place before you destroy us all.
00:30:03Listen, Dr. Clemens' work is very important.
00:30:06You and Doc have to get out of here.
00:30:08You have to get out of here.
00:30:10You have to get out of here now.
00:30:11Let me go, Alter.
00:30:13Please, I have to go now.
00:30:19Do you think she really believed that crap, Alter?
00:30:22Of course she believed it.
00:30:24I'm clairvoyant, remember?
00:30:26I see in the dark.
00:30:28Do you want to keep operating up here, Alter?
00:30:31Can you find out what she's doing
00:30:33and why that kid is hanging around Clemens?
00:30:40Stay here, Mariposa.
00:30:42These little tracks won't take us any farther.
00:30:45Be careful.
00:30:47Softly dark, lots of old loose rock.
00:31:10Come on.
00:31:40Come on.
00:32:11Mariposa?
00:32:14Mariposa, I think I found what we've been looking for.
00:32:17Mariposa?
00:32:21Mariposa, are you all right?
00:32:25Mariposa?
00:32:41Oh, my God.
00:32:44It's that same smell.
00:32:47It's phosphorus yellow.
00:32:51Mariposa!
00:32:54Mariposa!
00:32:57Mariposa!
00:33:01Mariposa, my boy!
00:33:11What happened?
00:33:13I smelled the gas, and I went lightheaded.
00:33:15It's phosphorated gas.
00:33:17It still escapes from underground chambers.
00:33:19Come on.
00:33:21It smells good.
00:33:23Yellow allotropic forms of phosphorus
00:33:25aren't necessarily poisonous.
00:33:27Its compounds are used in phosphate fertilizers,
00:33:31and it's a basic constituent of all plant and animal life.
00:33:35How are you feeling now, Mariposa?
00:33:38Don't think we'd better go down there again without masks.
00:33:41I'm okay now, Dr. Clemmons.
00:33:44Thanks.
00:33:46Normally, animals satisfy their phosphorus requirements
00:33:48by the ingestion of food.
00:33:51But an abnormal metabolism
00:33:53might require abnormally high quantities of the element,
00:33:56an interesting parallel between science and legend.
00:33:59Legend?
00:34:00In researching the myths
00:34:02which surfaced with the miners in the 1860s,
00:34:04I came across one recurrent story
00:34:06concerning a prehistoric animal.
00:34:09I would surmise at this time
00:34:11that there's a definite relationship
00:34:13between the yellow phosphorated gas in the mine chambers
00:34:15and the mine monster legend,
00:34:17and I see a further similarity
00:34:19to the substance the hybrid discharged
00:34:21when I took it out of the incubator.
00:34:23Welcome, everyone, to Bonanza Days in Virginia City!
00:34:28Well, well, well, Mr. Silverdale.
00:34:30How are you?
00:34:31Good to see you again.
00:34:34I don't like this.
00:34:37It's a good thing we're dealing with him in our own way.
00:34:42I do wish we could be a bit more secure, Charles.
00:34:46There's an unhealthy element hanging around Madame Alter's...
00:34:49You'll see.
00:34:51I will be careful.
00:34:54I'm so sorry, sir.
00:34:57I have to apologize to you, Mr. Silverdale.
00:35:01I'm sorry I'm sorry, Mr. Silverdale.
00:35:04You're a great man.
00:35:06You're a great man.
00:35:08the element hanging around Madame Alters I don't like it yes Philip I know I've
00:35:15already instructed Sheriff Gordon to step up his surveillance program he
00:35:19should be just about finished with the new communication system by now
00:35:38nice to see you dr. Clemens in communion class for the festival hope to see you
00:35:47at the concert tonight
00:36:08something strange about all this doesn't feel right shooting guns everywhere I'm
00:36:28getting pretty fed up the whole game makes me sick all that let's walk down
00:36:34where it's cool
00:37:04gotta believe me I didn't do it I'll make full restitution all right let's
00:37:16call it a day shall we
00:37:27you were just created the most unfortunate incident the whole thing is
00:37:33quite nasty there was an accident I didn't mean to do it look I said I'll
00:37:43make it up to the owner look up perhaps a donation to the Historical Society in
00:37:48his memory hey sir but these things do happen you know it
00:37:54but it was just a damn dog
00:38:24this is a sad time for us all for Sheriff Gordon and for myself
00:38:41personally I feel a deep sense of loss as a child confronted with a dark
00:38:51mystery of death he was only a dog but he filled our lives with joy and gaiety
00:39:00until a bullet struck him down I ask you now to join me in a moment of silence
00:39:07for our friend
00:39:15and to the Almighty we commit our friend departed and commend his body unto the
00:39:21ground earth to earth ashes to ashes in sure and certain hope of the
00:39:28resurrection and to eternal life Amen
00:39:51thank you very much I appreciate that
00:40:01thank you for coming thanks I appreciate you coming appreciate you
00:40:06being here thank you thanks very much
00:40:12thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you very much
00:40:42don't feel so bad mr. Barnstable I saw the whole thing telling you you can't
00:40:53beat a German Shepherd for obedience playing dead wasn't nothing that dog can
00:40:58do anything hell he could probably get a job on TV you mean you went through this
00:41:02dumb charade for a dead dog that isn't even dead that's right he's a fine dog I
00:41:08shipped him down to my nephew in Albuquerque you'll like it down there
00:41:13gonna miss him though
00:41:22emissary from the right corporation mr. Barnstable that's his real name will be
00:41:28trying to buy up all mine leases in the county I think we've successfully stopped
00:41:36him without unduly alarming our citizens of course did you see that
00:41:41crowd yesterday wanted to tear him apart who could sell his property to a man
00:41:46like Barnstable oh nice a sort of instant hate my grandfather the one who
00:41:53brought the railroad across these lands once said to me Charles events have a
00:41:58certain logic a way of rolling down the mountains like an avalanche now Alta
00:42:04when we granted you a license you agreed to abide by my decisions
00:42:09concerning outsiders if we can stop Barnstable
00:42:12right we'll have to deal with me we must act now no billionaire opportunist will
00:42:20own our lands no cyanide gold and silver processing plants will pollute our air
00:42:28in hope signal
00:43:28ah it's like I finally bumped into the right place Adam alter how about some of
00:43:42that Sierra beer you people drink up here it's a pleasure to entertain such a
00:43:45distinguished visitor mr. Barnstable how about a shot on the house I think I
00:43:54could even go for one of those today it'll nip the dust out of that beer
00:44:08that's good nice place you got here I even tried to book accommodations but I
00:44:16found you on the take short-term guests we're a regular little oasis mr.
00:44:24Barnstable
00:44:36Scotch why don't you have him join us Philip mr. Barnstable would like to have
00:44:45you join us for a drink I don't drink with men like Barnstable after you get
00:44:53out tonight why don't we go into Reno and pull on a few slot machines together
00:45:05wait a minute this thing's gone far enough look I said I was sorry about the
00:45:09dog and I read a minute I even went to his funeral
00:45:15I'm a fella all I want to do is buy you a drink and be friendly I'm not playing
00:45:21any games I'm up here on business what do you say we just shake and Maldo for
00:45:30Christ's sake put that gun down you must have been drinking all day
00:45:46you kids get the hell out I can't let you meet here anymore it's too dangerous
00:45:57let's get out of here Mariposa three two seven point eight centimeters
00:46:05phosphorus yellow contact area increasing volume vital forces
00:46:09functioning at minimum level only throughout the body dr. Clemens has
00:46:12separated the yellow phosphorus from its radioactive isotope how did it get
00:46:16into my sheep's body can't be sure yet Eddie however my study of the fossil
00:46:21inference I've been excavating it seemed to indicate that those 19th century
00:46:24miners actually did see a living animal a throwback to the prehistoric age the
00:46:30mind monster its system must have excreted an abolite it's complexed with
00:46:35the yellow phosphorus this resulted in the release of phosphorated gas cause
00:46:40flames and explosions deep in the mine which in turn brought about the blindness
00:46:45and temporary insanity reported by journals of the time thus we have a
00:46:50rationale for the so-called visions of the miners legend then in the great mine
00:46:55disaster of 1874 the animal was incinerated in time those smoking
00:47:01compounds areas above the mine shaft on the other side of the mountain near what
00:47:08is now Eddie's ranch on my grazing land compounds must have been ingested by
00:47:13the mother sheep that's what's responsible for the embryos
00:47:19look I haven't had a decent meal since yesterday
00:47:22Mariposa you'll have to take the night monitor shift guess we all have to graze
00:47:26if you want to survive hey Eddie
00:48:08go on get back go on go on beat it
00:48:39I'll tell you I've had it with Arthur been concerning I wish you could have
00:48:48seen yourself when you came back you were drunk and disgusting thank God no
00:48:51one saw no one will know about it Charles I promise you well it looks like
00:48:56you're enjoying our Western hospitality barnstable I thought you'd be leaving
00:49:02town by now a civilized person would have taken no for an answer my friend we
00:49:07don't break ranks when we see Eastern money we're a loyal community
00:49:11barnstable that's a rip-roaring old two-gun western town
00:51:11Phil just about to have another drink on the rifle corporation thank you
00:51:34why don't you all drink and get you know I think I should apologize for the pie
00:51:42incident I guess we all acted like kids you know we I'm sorry I had too much to
00:51:48drink the other day I'm afraid I said some unattractive things
00:51:54I've been called a lot worse things in my day you know it's a tragedy that two
00:51:59men can't relate to each other anymore like a gentleman I think I'm finally
00:52:04beginning to understand if you look this place closes in a few minutes we can
00:52:10break open some good cognac at my place I have a magnificent view of the canyon
00:52:21nice place you've got here yeah I've managed to make it comfortable
00:52:29the high ceilings remind me of the 70s New York miss it action I miss the
00:52:45action you know before I met Charles I put together the Harbor Commission deal
00:52:50and then the trumped-up scandal I guess Silverdale really saved your ass on that
00:52:56one you know you're not exactly loved on Wall Street even now yes do you know
00:53:05who really put this down on the map it's over there he couldn't function without
00:53:13me now I know everything you're nothing but a pawn Silverdale is going right
00:53:20over your head to Reich in Paris you're a real loyal Phil
00:53:23look Chris you put me in touch with Reich direct I see you get a piece of
00:53:36the action naturally I'll have to inform mr. Reich and mr. Silverdale of your
00:53:41offer you've got no class at all feel
00:54:11suspect is booked mr. Silverdale no problem security blanket is in effect I
00:54:40think we can keep this out of the papers mr. Maldive was treated at the St.
00:54:45Francis Community Hospital for flesh wounds at 3 30 this morning patient
00:54:49should be released sometime tomorrow 10-4 what the hell are you people doing to
00:55:00me I haven't done anything get over here you can't put people in jail for no
00:55:10reason at all I haven't done anything look I admit I got a little drunk with
00:55:15that Maldive but doesn't give him any right to hit me over the head I want to
00:55:22use the telephone I demand my constitutional rights I want a lawyer
00:55:38now you're not aware of the charges against you by last night after an
00:56:04evening of carousing in front of witnesses you repaid mr. Maldives offer
00:56:11of hospitality by attempting to murder him above Indian flats illegal
00:56:57stand back you two I'm going to connect an auxiliary cable okay we're all right
00:57:03now the whole thing's starting to shake like it's having a fit
00:57:06wait we get back in a mice and be intravenous we've got to keep it in a
00:57:10state of hibernation the spasms are subsiding
00:57:22it's incredible entire cell area seem to be multiplying expanding the tissues
00:57:29like a giant hydro
00:57:52gentlemen I have asked you here to volunteer in the spirit of our city's
00:57:57first vigilance committee the Society of the 601 as you know there's been an
00:58:04attempt on my life I must report to you we are dealing with no ordinary criminal
00:58:10Christopher Barnstable comes to us representing the largest mining
00:58:14interests in the world Reich International are we to let this
00:58:19opportunist by our land our citizens with acts of violence we must face mr.
00:58:32Reich and his gangster emissaries courage and strength law and order will
00:58:40form the backbone of our resolve
00:58:50we can't resort to mob rule Barnstable will suffer swift and exact justice no
00:58:57scandal do you understand I don't want anything messy to happen
00:59:19I
00:59:21can't wait
00:59:23for the justice man
00:59:27stand right
00:59:29to the justice man
00:59:33kneel
00:59:35for the justice man
00:59:37justice man
01:00:07hey
01:00:09hey
01:00:11hey
01:00:13get him
01:00:15get him
01:00:17get him
01:00:19fucker
01:00:21fucker
01:00:38I wish I could have prevented this Barnstable but I can't dispute the will
01:00:44of the majority and the nasty publicity I'm sure your employer wouldn't want any
01:00:50of this to get out after our little ritual is over your body will be
01:00:55discovered at the bottom of the yellowjacket mine your neck will have
01:00:59been broken in the fall it's only a thousand feet down you should have never
01:01:05tried to escape Barnstable
01:01:30how the hell did you find out one of those black-shirted bastards shot off his
01:01:35mouth at my place last night I gotta get to a phone my head's bleeding again
01:01:39look hang on put my lights off I think we can lose him in the dark if we can
01:01:43make it to Indian Flats I think Cyrus Clemens will help us
01:02:05it's Barnstable. Dr. Clemens, we're supposed to hurry. It's Mr. Barnstable. He's hurt bad. I don't care how bad he's hurt. Keep him away from the hybrid. No interruption. That's critical. I'm sorry, but Dr. Clemens says no one gets him. I want this man captured alive. Can you hear me clearly? If Barnstable reaches the outside, I'll kill him.
01:02:35There could be grave repercussions. Remember that. Fasten your tear gas canisters. I'll be in constant communication with all personnel. We have already cut off the surrounding exits to Indian Flats. Good hunting, gentlemen.
01:02:54Squads 1 through 7, advance to entrance point A.
01:03:04Come on, men. Take cover. He may be armed.
01:03:31As soon as he shows himself, we blast him with the gas. If he's somewhere down in Clemens' lab, we'll have to shoot our way in. Smoke him out. I want him put on ice until I contact Wright. Will you put that gun away, fella? Ready to drop the gas whenever you say, Mr. Silverdale.
01:03:48All right, Barnstable. We know you're down there. We'll give you just 10 seconds to come out, and then we're coming in. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. All right, Barnstable. Fire!
01:04:18Clemens!
01:04:36Nobody can get in here. It's full of gas.
01:04:47We've got to save the creature!
01:04:52Clemens!
01:05:03I've got to get out there and stop them. They'll kill my experiment!
01:05:20Silverdale!
01:05:25They'll kill my experiment! I've got a live animal down there!
01:05:34Where's Barnstable? We want Barnstable. Deliver him and we'll save your animal. Otherwise, we'll smash it off!
01:05:48They must be stopped!
01:05:55Call off your men! Cease fire, men!
01:05:59Come on out. I've made a deal with Silverdale. Barnstable's over there in the doorway.
01:06:04There's Barnstable! Get him, men! Freeze, you bastard!
01:06:17Barnstable!
01:06:27Come on, let's get him!
01:06:55My God. The boy's dead.
01:06:58What the hell have you done, Clemens? What kind of beast was that?
01:07:01Easy, take it easy. That's my hybrid out there, Silverdale. You can't kill it. We've got to capture it alive.
01:07:09We're lucky Bonanza days are over and the tourists have all gone home. Look at the size of those footprints.
01:07:17Whatever it is, Clemens, we'll deal with it internally.
01:07:22We don't want the National Guard or the federal government involved. We'll handle this ourselves.
01:07:28I'm inclined to agree with you for once, Silverdale. The existence of such an animal could create a dangerous wave of panic.
01:07:35Things could get out of control. We could earn it down. Swear in more deputies.
01:07:41Killing is a last resort, Maldo. This may be one of the most important scientific discoveries in history.
01:07:48If we can isolate the animal, study it, we may have the key to the mystery of creation itself.
01:07:55Maybe the monster is some sort of sign, a messenger. Anyway, I hope I find him first.
01:08:04What a masterpiece of scientific reasoning, my dear. You're a credit to your mentor.
01:08:10Let her go. She's been under a lot of strain.
01:08:40You won't hurt me, will you? What is it? Don't. Don't be frightened. I've been following you all the way from the glory hole.
01:09:04I'm not going to hurt you. I'm your friend. You've got to have food and care. You'll never survive up here alone.
01:09:13Come on. Follow me. Come on. Down the mountain, where you'll be warm and safe with me.
01:09:33Come on.
01:09:42Hey! Where are you?
01:10:03Mariposa!
01:10:20Are you all right? Yes, Eddie. But he wasn't going to kill me, even after you threw the rock at him.
01:10:26He was wild. What else could I do? Mariposa! Where are you going? Come back! Mariposa! Mariposa!
01:10:42This is an official announcement. A state of emergency is in force.
01:10:47There is no cause for panic, fellow citizens. Our emergency communications network is in effect.
01:10:54Our vigilance committee is now operating all media outposts. Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to use your telephones as the lines have been appropriated for official use.
01:11:10Now, until we discover the cause of certain unexplained events, following the recapture of Christopher Barnstable by our deputy patrol, I hereby declare martial law throughout Silverdale County.
01:11:26Curfew is in effect.
01:11:30Over here!
01:11:37My God, this is becoming a nightmare, Clemens. Your beast is heading for our city.
01:11:41Strange. Seems to be leaving a clear trail. There's a definite pattern to it, too. It's obviously of higher intelligence than we thought.
01:11:49This is ridiculous.
01:11:51I can't accept this concept of intelligence. I say it's a damaged mongoloid beast.
01:11:58But if you have discovered a throwback, Clemens, we could capture it for our museum.
01:12:06Fifty cents a head for children, a dollar seventy-five for families, it would support our whole restoration program.
01:12:13Or we could even get the old Snow Mountain Railroad running again.
01:12:33Do you believe in the monsters?
01:12:35I don't believe in monsters.
01:12:38Stupid adults believe in them.
01:12:40Mmm, these are good hot dogs.
01:12:43Everybody does.
01:12:44Nobody but the young don't believe in monsters.
01:12:46Yeah.
01:12:47The adults are stupid.
01:12:48I don't either.
01:13:06I repeat, keep all children off the streets.
01:13:12All deputies will maintain 24-hour surveillance
01:13:15until we crack this thing down.
01:14:05Oh, jeez.
01:14:35Come on.
01:15:05Let's go.
01:15:27The beast is out there in the canyon.
01:15:30Our best guess is he's somewhere past Julia Bulette's grave
01:15:34on Sugarloaf Mountain.
01:15:36Now, Dr. Clemens informs me that the cold night air
01:15:38may have temporarily interrupted his rampage.
01:15:41He may be in a state of exhaustion.
01:15:43If he is near the summit, as we think he is,
01:15:46we may have to dismount, and that could be dangerous.
01:15:49Now, if we can encircle him at the top,
01:15:52there's a good chance we can bring him back alive.
01:15:55He's a most valuable prize, I assure you.
01:15:58You all have your ropes and cables?
01:16:00Yeah.
01:16:02Tell the animal, move closer until you have him tied securely.
01:16:06If you can hold him for a few seconds,
01:16:08I'll be able to inject him with a tranquilizer.
01:16:11Move up with caution.
01:16:13Maintain your discipline.
01:16:15Good hunting, men.
01:16:18Here.
01:16:38Here he is!
01:16:40Surround him, men!
01:16:43Here he is!
01:16:46Out!
01:17:00Out!
01:17:10Watch yourself! Move back!
01:17:16Here!
01:17:24All right, men, get it.
01:17:26Get the ropes on him.
01:17:28Move in there quick, men. Get the ropes on him.
01:17:32Here!
01:17:42Here!
01:17:52Here!
01:17:57Here!
01:18:00Here!
01:18:04Move in there quick.
01:18:13Get him down.
01:18:19Pull on him.
01:18:24Here!
01:18:30Pull on him. Get up.
01:18:34He's bleeding.
01:18:46Hold!
01:18:48Hold!
01:18:50Hold!
01:19:00Now run for it, Clemens. We've got him.
01:19:03As soon as he's quiet, drag him down to the dump.
01:19:09You see, by preventing the people from selling their mine leases to you,
01:19:13I was able to buy them all myself.
01:19:16All in the interest of conservation.
01:19:19Even picked up Doc Clemens' lease on Indian class.
01:19:23Even if your preposterous story were true, Barnstable,
01:19:26I'm afraid no one would believe you.
01:19:28See, it's your word against Mr. Maldolph's.
01:19:31That son of a bitch.
01:19:33Tried to frame me.
01:19:35Got me locked up with that crazy sheriff, and you let it all happen.
01:19:38Even silence helped us.
01:19:40As my grandfather used to say,
01:19:42time is the eternal judge of events, Barnstable.
01:19:46I'm afraid it's all water over the dam now.
01:19:49You see, you became an embarrassment to Mr. Rife,
01:19:52and I protected his reputation.
01:19:54I sold the mining leases to Rike International on my terms.
01:19:59Here's the confirmation.
01:20:03You really did it.
01:20:06You really did it.
01:20:08Yes, I'm reactivating the old mines.
01:20:12Rike and I have agreed that the charge of attempted murder against you will be dropped.
01:20:16You're technically a free man.
01:20:18My deputies will escort you to Reno Municipal Airport tonight,
01:20:21and Rike's plane will pick you up there.
01:20:23I believe you have a new assignment in Asia.
01:20:26You haven't restored the past up here, Silverdale.
01:20:29You've destroyed the present.
01:20:35Town meeting will come to order!
01:20:48I've arranged a diversion in entertainment.
01:20:54I think Mr. Rike would like you to witness this announcement.
01:20:57Down in front!
01:20:59Order!
01:21:23Order!
01:21:29The crisis we have suffered is at an end.
01:21:37Thanks to the swift and courageous action of our volunteer committee of vigilance,
01:21:43we may all return to our everyday tasks in peace and security.
01:21:51The wild beast, whose rampages wreaked havoc on private property,
01:21:58threatening the lives of women and little children, has been captured!
01:22:05Dr. Cummings informs me that this creature's existence
01:22:10is of profound interest to the world's scientific community
01:22:14and must be kept here in our most isolated part of town.
01:22:19Naturally, the Comstock Historical Society has accepted custody of the specimen
01:22:27and will release news of its discovery to the outside world in due course.
01:22:33Now, we may expect more visitors to Silverdale County,
01:22:38but revenues from tourism will more than make up for the inconvenience.
01:22:44You're not going to make a circus out of an important scientific discovery, Silverdale!
01:22:48I'll protest!
01:22:49Shut up! Shut up!
01:22:51And I have more good news.
01:22:54We have received a cable from Rupert Rike himself
01:22:59offering unlimited funds in the common interest of conservation.
01:23:06And for our first project, Rike will restore the old silver queen and yellow jacket mines
01:23:12to their original working order as an historical monument.
01:23:16He's sold us all out!
01:23:17It's a trick! He's lying!
01:23:19I am lying!
01:23:20And the Sun Mountain Railroad will run again on golden rails built by a new Bonanza!
01:23:31Lies! Lies! Lies!
01:23:35He's stolen our money! Silverdale's got our money!
01:23:38Oh! Lies! Lies!
01:23:40Get out of here!
01:23:41He's a liar! Lies!
01:23:44Stand in front! Stand in front! Shut up!
01:23:49He hates you!
01:23:50Lies! Lies! Lies!
01:23:52Knock it off!
01:23:55Lies! Lies!
01:24:00Look, fellow citizens! Feast your eyes on the eighth wonder of the world!
01:24:08Kill him! Kill him!
01:24:10Kill him!
01:24:11You killed my son!
01:24:12Just kill him!
01:24:14Stop them!
01:24:16You've hurt nothing in your life, Valdo!
01:24:19Stop them! Stop them!
01:24:21Stop them! Stop them! Stop them! Stop them!
01:24:26Stop them! Stop them!
01:24:28Right into them!
01:24:30Run them down!
01:24:31Kill them!
01:24:34Right into them!
01:24:35Run them down!
01:24:37Make them pay!
01:24:39Make them all pay!
01:24:44Make them pay!
01:24:57Make them all pay!
01:25:08Make them all pay!
01:25:12Make them all pay!
01:25:23Men! Run them down!
01:25:29Kill the traitor first before the rest, men!
01:25:39Kill him!
01:25:44Fellow citizens!
01:25:47We are the custodians of an era!
01:25:53In hopes that all will change!
01:25:56Stop!
01:26:03I am dedicating my life to the restoration of this famous financial city!
01:26:11Kill him! Kill him!
01:26:12Kill him! Kill him!
01:26:13Kill him! Kill him!
01:26:14Kill him! Kill him!
01:26:15Kill everybody!
01:26:16Run!
01:26:17The truck's full of gas!
01:26:18It'll explode!
01:26:19Monstro!
01:26:27An eye for an eye!
01:26:30Violence in the name of justice
01:26:34Controls the masses!
01:26:36It always has!
01:26:38Do you hear me, Barnstable?
01:26:40I've beaten you!
01:26:46Time is the eternal judge of events!
01:26:49Do you hear me, Barnstable?
01:26:52Do you hear me?
01:26:54I've beaten you, Barnstable!
01:27:22THE END
