00:00:00Have you ever been by a girl like this?
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:30STRAIN THE MONSTROUS ASSURANCE OF THIS RACE OF PUNY BIPEDS WITH OVERBLOWN EGOS.
00:01:41THE CREATURE WHO CALLS HIMSELF MAN.
00:01:45HE BELIEVES HE OWNS THE EARTH AND EVERY LIVING THING ON IT EXISTS ONLY FOR HIS BENEFIT.
00:01:51YET HOW FOOLISH HE IS.
00:01:54THE SIDDER, EVEN THE LOWLY INSECT THAT MAN TRODS UNDERFOOT OUTWEIGHS HUMANITY SEVERAL TIMES AND OUTNUMBERS HIM BY COUNTLESS BILLIONS.
00:02:03IN THE CONTINUING WAR FOR SURVIVAL BETWEEN MAN AND THE HEXAPODS, ONLY ANOTHER FOOL WOULD BET AGAINST THE INSECT.
00:02:13LET A MAN OR WOMAN VENTURE FROM THE WELL-BEATEN PATH OF CIVILIZATION.
00:02:19LET HIM CROSS THE THRESHOLD OF THE LIMITED INTELLECT, AND HE ENCOUNTERS AMAZING, WONDEROUS THINGS, THE UNKNOWN AND TERRIBLE.
00:02:30IF HE ESCAPES THESE WEIRD ADVENTURES WITH HIS LIFE, HE WILL USUALLY FIND HE LEFT HIS REASON BEHIND HIM.
00:02:38PERHAPS THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE TWO SOULS, LOST IN THE GREAT MEXICAN DESERT.
00:02:44BUT THEN ASK YOURSELF, WHY WOULD ANYONE TROT FROM THE USUALLY WELL-TRAVLED ROADS OF THIS MODERN AGE, FROM THE LUXURY OF AN AIR-CONDITIONED AUTOMOBILE?
00:02:57IT'S DIFFICULT FOR OUR MODERN WORLD OF STATISTICS AND ELECTRONICS TO ACCEPT MIRACLES.
00:03:04BUT YOU COULD ALMOST CALL THIS A MIRACLE, A GENUINE MIRACLE.
00:03:09OUT OF HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF SQUARE MILES OF HEAT AND SEARED WASTELAND,
00:03:17WHERE THE VULCHERS WAIT FOR THE OTHER VULCHERS TO DIE,
00:03:21AN AMERICAN OIL SURVEYOR HAS CHOSEN TO EXPLORE THIS PARTICULAR TERRIBLE FORNER OF THE EARTH,
00:03:30THE MIUERTO DESERT, THE DESERT OF DEATH.
00:03:34THIS SURVEYOR CAN HARDLY CREDIT HIS OWNERS.
00:03:40PERHAPS THEY'RE ONLY ELUSIVE IMAGES, PRODUCED BY ROASTING THE OPTIC NERDS.
00:03:46BUT IF THEY DO EXIST, IF THEY ARE LIVING THINGS FROM SOMEWHERE,
00:03:54ONE FACT IS CERTAIN.
00:03:57MIRACLE OR NOT, THEY WILL NOT BE LIVING THINGS FOR LONG.
00:04:02THE MIUERTO DESERT, TRUE TO ITS NAME,
00:04:06WILL SOON CONVERT THEM INTO DEATH THINGS.
00:04:11MAYBE HE'S COMING OUT OF THE DEN.
00:04:38I DOUBT IT, DOCK.
00:04:41EVEN IF THEY GOT ACROSS THAT DESERT ALIVE,
00:04:43THE SONS BAND WILL COOK THEIR BRAINS.
00:04:45IT'S A MIRACLE TO ME HOW PEPE AND FRANK FOUND THEM.
00:04:47NOW I'VE GENERED TO BE GETTING BACK TO WORK.
00:04:51BEATS ME HOW THEY GOT THERE,
00:04:52OR WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
00:04:53THAT'S THE MOST GOD-FORSECENT SPOT ON EARTH.
00:04:56MAYBE THEY'RE FROM THAT MISSING PLANE WE READ ABOUT.
00:04:58THAT PLANE WAS HEADED FOR MEXICO CITY.
00:05:00HAVE TO BE A HUNDRED DEGREES OFF TO LAND IN THE MUERTO DESERT.
00:05:03A HUNDRED DEGREES OR NOT, THEY HAD TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.
00:05:05WHERE'D YOU SAY YOU PICKED THEM UP, PEPE?
00:05:07ON THE ROAD TO SARPA MESA, SENOR MEDICO.
00:05:10PRETTY GIRL UNDER ALL THAT SUNBURN.
00:05:20SHE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY DEHYDRATED.
00:05:22I DON'T KNOW WHAT KEPT THEM ALIVE.
00:05:25YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE SAFE.
00:05:27YOU'RE IN AN OIL COMPANY OFFICE.
00:05:30SURE?
00:05:31SHE'S IN ABOUT THE SAME SHAPE YOU ARE.
00:05:34SHE HASN'T COME OUT OF IT YET,
00:05:35BUT I THINK YOU'RE BOTH GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
00:05:37HERE, TRY TO TAKE THIS.
00:05:40WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE, ANYWAY, SUPERMAN?
00:05:52SURE.
00:05:53NOBODY'S EVER BEEN ABLE TO WALK ACROSS THAT DESERT AND COME OUT ALIVE.
00:05:56YOU TRY WITH A GIRL.
00:05:58YOU SAID THIS WAS AN OIL COMPANY.
00:06:00CAN YOU LOAD A TRUCK WITH FULL DRUMS AND BRING ALL THE MEN YOU CAN SPARE?
00:06:03IF WE GET THERE IN TIME, MAYBE WE CAN BURN THEM OUT BEFORE THEY SCATTER.
00:06:07THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT SCARES THEM, FIRE.
00:06:09BUT IF WE'RE TOO LATE, WE'RE DOING IT.
00:06:10NOW, JUST A MINUTE, MY FELLA.
00:06:12TAKE IT EASY.
00:06:13YOU'VE BEEN OUT IN THE SAME TOO LONG.
00:06:15THAT SELFETY WILL QUIET HIM DOWN ON THE MEN.
00:06:17I TELL YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HIM, BUT IF YOU HAD, YOU'D REALIZE YOU'VE SEEN HIM.
00:06:20NOW, LOOK, YOU SAID SUPERMAN.
00:06:24WELL, THESE ARE SUPER MONSTERS OR BUGS.
00:06:27AS BIG AS WE ARE, THEY CAN, THEY CAN, THEY CAN KILL YOU WITH ONE BITE.
00:06:31I CAN'T.
00:06:32THESE, THESE, THESE THINGS, IF THEY SCATTER BEFORE WE GET THERE, WE'RE...
00:06:39WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
00:06:41HE'S GOT A, AN UNDERGROUND LAB UP ON ZARPA MESA.
00:06:47HE, HE DOES SOMETHING THEY'RE GLAD.
00:06:49WHO DOES?
00:06:51DR. ARAΓA.
00:06:53ARAΓA?
00:06:55AY CARAMBAT.
00:06:57I TOLD YOU THE SUN HAD COOKED THEIR BRAINS?
00:06:59PEPPE DOESN'T THINK SO.
00:07:01AND BESIDES, NOBODY'S EVER BEEN ABLE TO CLIMB ZARPA MESA.
00:07:04YOU CAN REACH IT BY PLANE.
00:07:05LET'S LISTEN TO HIS STORY, ANYWAY.
00:07:07WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOSE?
00:07:09WELL, IT ALL STARTED ON THE BORDER A FEW DAYS BACK.
00:07:14I WAS PILOT FOR JAN VAN CROSS, THE BIG FINANCIER.
00:07:17WELL, WE HAD ENGINE TROUBLE.
00:07:20I MADE A FORCE LANDING IN A FIELD OUTSIDE THIS LITTLE MEXICAN TOWN.
00:07:26AFTER WE LANDED, I STAYED WITH THE, WITH THE SHIFT.
00:07:31QUITE A STORY HE'S TELLING, ISN'T IT, PEPPE?
00:07:33PEPPE, YOU'VE HEARD FROM YOUR PEOPLE ABOUT ZARPA MESA AND THE MYSTERIOUS DOCTOR ORANIA,
00:07:40EVEN THOUGH YOUR BOSSES HAVEN'T.
00:07:43SO, WHY TELL THEM?
00:07:46THEY WOULD ONLY LAUGH AT YOU AND SAY,
00:07:49POUR PEPPE, YOU'RE GETTING OLD.
00:07:52BUT YOU'VE HEARD FOR YEARS ABOUT THE GROTESQUE AND MISSHAPEN PEOPLE,
00:07:56ABOUT THE WOMEN, STRANGE WOMEN WHO DO NOT DIE.
00:08:03NO, GRAND PHILIP DOESN'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY.
00:08:08YOU SEE, HE CAME INTO IT LATE.
00:08:11IT ACTUALLY BEGAN, OH, ALMOST A YEAR AGO.
00:08:16THE NIGHT DR. LELAND MASTERSON,
00:08:18THE WORLD-FAMOUS SPECIALIST IN RESEARCH,
00:08:20FOUND HIMSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUERTO DESERT,
00:08:24THE DESERT OF DEATH.
00:08:26HE CAME IN ANSWER TO A RATHER MYSTERIOUS SUMMONS
00:08:29FROM A MAN HE ADMIRED,
00:08:32BUT KNEW ONLY AS A NAME SIGNED TO A SERIES OF BRILLIANT SCIENTIFIC TREATISES,
00:08:37ERANIA.
00:08:42OH, WE'VE ARRIVED.
00:08:50YOUR EYES MUST BE PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU IN THIS LIGHT.
00:08:58IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK, MASTERSON?
00:09:01WHAT WAS IT YOU THOUGHT YOU SAW?
00:09:14APPARENTLY, THEY'VE COME CORRECTLY.
00:09:17BUT, UH, TO MASTERSON IT SEEMS STRANGE.
00:09:19A MAN WITH THE GENIUS OF IRANIA,
00:09:22BUILDING HIS LABORATORY ON AN INACCESSIBLE MOUNTANTOP
00:09:26IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNINHABITED DESERT.
00:09:29WHY ZARPA MESA?
00:09:32WHY ZARPA MESA, INDEED?
00:09:35A NATURAL QUESTION, DOCTOR,
00:09:37AND ONE THAT WAS SOON TO BE ANSWERED,
00:09:39THOUGH IN A WAY SO FANTASTIC AND HORRIBLE
00:09:43AS TO MAKE A MAN OF SCIENCE DOUBT HIS SENSE.
00:09:49THANK YOU.
00:09:53mines
00:09:56ON
00:09:57VIEW
00:10:57How do you do?
00:11:04My name is Masterson.
00:11:06Dr. Leland Masterson.
00:11:08I believe Dr. Aranya is expecting me.
00:12:10Dr. Leland Masterson.
00:12:16Dr. Aranya.
00:12:18I trust your journey was pleasant?
00:12:28Well, moderately.
00:12:29I must confess, though, that I was a trifle uneasy when your driver headed into the Muerto desert.
00:12:35But everything seems to have worked out.
00:12:37The sentimental human mind being what it is, this is the only sort of a place I could find to carry on my work.
00:12:45But I can understand your feeling.
00:12:47These papers on the anterior lobe of the pituitary and the effects of the specific hormones on other living things.
00:12:57Quite the most remarkable endocrine theories that I've ever read.
00:13:00Well, thank you, doctor.
00:13:01You're coming from the world's foremost organotherapist, a fine compliment.
00:13:06That's why I jumped at the chance to come here, work with you, examine your theories.
00:13:12Oh, let us understand one thing, doctor.
00:13:15These are not theories.
00:13:17I have successfully proved every point over and over again in my laboratory.
00:13:27Wait a minute.
00:13:28You want me to believe that you have produced these things by experimentation?
00:13:34And many more.
00:13:35And my eyes weren't playing tricks.
00:13:38So you can see why such work as this must be completed inside a mountaintop amidst this desolation.
00:13:46Oh, I'm completing a most unusual experiment in my laboratory.
00:13:51Doctor, would you care to observe?
00:13:54Oh, certainly.
00:13:57Then come along.
00:14:05Only a matter of minutes now.
00:14:28What is the nature of this?
00:14:31Well, it requires some clarification, doctor.
00:14:33As you know, I have isolated the growth hormone of the anterior pituitary,
00:14:39the specific substance which controls the growth pattern of human beings.
00:14:45Yes, it was a subject on your papers.
00:14:48Yes.
00:14:48And with this accomplished, I said to myself,
00:14:50what would the effect be of this hormone or a complete human pituitary being transferred
00:14:58in the body of another creature?
00:15:00I began a series of experiments.
00:15:05Moderate success among the lesser animals, a complete failure among birds.
00:15:11And then, experimenting one day upon the hexapods, I came upon the Therophicidia family.
00:15:19A tarantula?
00:15:20Exactly.
00:15:21The tarantulas began to yield amazing results.
00:15:25They grew as large as human beings.
00:15:28Began developing new reasoning powers.
00:15:31And I found I had the telepathic power to communicate with them.
00:15:34And then, I reversed the process, transplanted the control substance of the insect back into the human body.
00:15:44Psst, psst, psst.
00:15:55Doctor, observe this girl.
00:15:59I call her Tarantella.
00:16:02She has human beauty and intelligence.
00:16:05Still possesses the capacities and instincts of the giant spider.
00:16:08How do you mean?
00:16:11She has the indestructibility of the insect.
00:16:14If her body became damaged, if she were to lose an arm or a leg, she could grow a new one.
00:16:20I expect Tarantella may survive for hundreds and hundreds of years.
00:16:25And what about males?
00:16:27Well, unfortunately, in the insect world, the male is a puny, unimportant thing.
00:16:34You saw a few of the examples.
00:16:36The dwarfs.
00:16:37I think we're beginning to get some results.
00:16:43What is it?
00:16:45If we are successful, I shall have a super female spider.
00:16:50With a thinking and reasoning brain.
00:16:54A creature that someday may control the world.
00:17:00Subject to my will.
00:17:07Are you convinced now, Doctor?
00:17:32I hope you appreciate this opportunity I'm giving you to become a colleague of mine.
00:17:37No.
00:17:38No.
00:17:39You can't do these things.
00:17:41You're tampering with the work of the creator.
00:17:43Gibberish.
00:17:44You're evil.
00:17:45This place is like...
00:17:47You must be destroyed.
00:17:49You know what awful things that you've made.
00:17:52A choice, Doctor.
00:17:53A very poor choice.
00:17:55Of course, you know I cannot let you leave this place.
00:17:58Some way, somehow, I'll find a way to put an end to you on your ghastly experiments.
00:18:02It's regrettable.
00:18:16I was hoping for a colleague, but...
00:18:19Well, at least we have another experimental subject.
00:18:23To be continued...
00:18:53Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:19:13Mr. Masterson.
00:19:23Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:19:48Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:19:53Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:23Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:25Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:27Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:31Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:35Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:37Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:39Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:41Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:43Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:45Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:47Mr. Masterson, here's your orange juice.
00:20:49Thank you, sir.
00:21:05Thank you very much.
00:21:19What a dump.
00:21:21Well, it isn't exactly the Star Club, I'll admit.
00:21:28Senora, senora.
00:21:30The best people in the house.
00:21:35Buena, buena.
00:21:37Buena.
00:21:49Something to drink.
00:21:58Anything tall and cool.
00:21:59Si, senora.
00:22:04We had to come down in this flea-bitten border town.
00:22:07And you would drag me to this dive.
00:22:10This unupholstered sewer.
00:22:12Oh, I find this place rather amusing.
00:22:15Your great southwest has a certain flame, no?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19I don't happen to be in the mood for a cook's tour of our great southwest.
00:22:23If it wasn't for that forced landing, we'd be in Mexico getting married by now.
00:22:27But, my dear, you can't blame me for the motor trouble.
00:22:30Those things will happen to the best of planes.
00:22:32Well, it didn't have to happen on my wedding day.
00:22:35Now you're acting childish, and that's not you.
00:22:37After all, being able to adapt oneself to any situation is the mark of the true sophisticate.
00:22:43I'm sorry.
00:22:45And you're not angry with me?
00:22:46Of course not, John.
00:22:47Well, you and Jay Masterson is the name.
00:23:04May I?
00:23:05I beg your pardon?
00:23:09May I say you are beautiful, my dear?
00:23:12Very beautiful.
00:23:15And good.
00:23:20That's very kind of you.
00:23:26Yes, Wu?
00:23:27The plane is ready, huh?
00:23:27Not for some time. The pilot is having considerable trouble.
00:23:31Spend a small fortune for a plane.
00:23:33Hire the best pilot I can get.
00:23:35And what happens?
00:23:39Well, Wu, what are you waiting for?
00:23:41Get back to the plane.
00:23:43Yes, Master.
00:23:57B
00:24:12What about peace?
00:24:13Go away!
00:24:15What about peace?
00:24:18Come away.
00:24:20Come away.
00:24:22Come away.
00:26:24But I felt like a little trip.
00:26:27We missed you, sir.
00:26:29Dr. Harrison wishes to see you, you know.
00:26:33I know, George.
00:26:35But I don't want to see him.
00:26:41I don't get this.
00:26:43Who are you and what's this all about?
00:26:45I'm his nurse, miss.
00:26:47His nurse?
00:26:48Yes.
00:26:49You see, Mr. Masterson is...
00:26:50No, no, George.
00:26:52I wouldn't do that.
00:26:56You see, I like this lady.
00:26:58Oh, my God.
00:27:03Oh, my God.
00:28:07There's a dancer, of course.
00:28:09I don't like her.
00:28:11There's a woman that's evil.
00:28:24Tell me.
00:28:25Tell me what's wrong.
00:28:26Not now, man.
00:28:27Don't talk.
00:28:28And they threw her down.
00:28:48And her blood was sprinkled on the wall.
00:28:54And he trod her underfoot.
00:28:56Give me that gun, Mr. Masterson.
00:29:16Please, give me that gun.
00:29:18Come on.
00:29:19Let's get out of here.
00:29:20Stop, everybody.
00:29:22Listen.
00:29:24This man's an insane killer.
00:29:25He's local.
00:29:26He'll kill all of us before you can reach him.
00:29:29Thank you, George.
00:29:30Well spoken.
00:29:31I only did what had to be done.
00:29:46George.
00:29:46Don't take another step.
00:29:51This lady is my friend.
00:29:54And nobody shall hurt her.
00:29:56I will kill her first.
00:30:00Don't take another step.
00:30:02The End
00:30:32Let's go home
00:30:39Don't be afraid
00:30:42I won't let them hurt you
00:30:44Oh, you brought the cards
00:31:02George, excellent
00:31:03You'll sit with me
00:31:06But Mr. Masterson
00:31:08She's not going with us
00:31:10Not going with us?
00:31:13You must, my dear
00:31:14You're in danger
00:31:16But we've got to get to the landing field
00:31:18Landing field?
00:31:21Very well
00:31:22I shall take you there
00:31:23Let me talk to the sheriff
00:31:25Doreen, dear
00:31:27You sit up here in front
00:31:28Mr. Doreen is going to sit with me
00:31:32Aren't you?
00:31:34Yes
00:31:35Yes, of course
00:31:36There's a dead woman lying right here on the floor
00:31:54That's right, sheriff
00:31:57He shot her dead
00:31:58No
00:32:00She's right where she fed
00:32:01Nobody touched the thing
00:32:02We...
00:32:04Sheriff
00:32:16The buddy just got up and walked out of here
00:32:20Here we are, my dear
00:32:30At last
00:32:31And Phillips seems to be ready for the takeoff
00:32:33All set to go, Phillips?
00:32:36Sorry, sir
00:32:37But one of the engines is still acting out
00:32:39Whatever it is, I can't find the part
00:32:41It's probably nothing serious
00:32:42Counts me take off anyway
00:32:44No, sir
00:32:45I can't take that chance
00:32:46You're the captain
00:32:48How much longer do you think I...
00:32:50My dear young man
00:32:50I want to fly
00:32:52You...
00:32:54You want to...
00:32:55I've always wanted to fly
00:32:57And now I will
00:32:59Sorry, sir
00:33:01But I'm the one who decides whether we fly or not
00:33:04I command
00:33:05And thou shalt obey
00:33:07Is he kidding?
00:33:11He ain't kidding, mister
00:33:12You'd better do as he says
00:33:15We fly
00:33:17Now
00:33:18You go first
00:33:21Listen, the police
00:33:26At last
00:33:27Don't be afraid
00:33:29I won't let them harm you
00:33:32Get in, quick
00:33:33Come along
00:33:42George
00:33:43Now
00:33:44We will all fly
00:33:46Come on
00:34:15Well, she's on course.
00:34:25How long do you think it will take us, Phillips?
00:34:27If everything goes all right, about an hour and a half.
00:34:33It's wonderful up here.
00:34:35So close to heaven.
00:34:42Wait a minute.
00:34:43Something wrong with this jarro compass.
00:34:45Somebody's fooled with the setting.
00:34:49We've been flying 100 degrees off course.
00:35:00I knew it.
00:35:02The left engine's acting up already.
00:35:06Is it bad, Jan?
00:35:08Do we have to go down again?
00:35:09No, but I know.
00:35:10Just stay calm, please.
00:35:12Nothing seriously wrong so far.
00:35:13It's getting worse.
00:35:27Much worse.
00:35:28I'll have to go down.
00:35:31And fast.
00:35:32I can't see a place to land.
00:35:44Don't look too good, miss.
00:35:47We keep on flying.
00:35:50I like it.
00:35:52This is my order.
00:35:54Fasten your safety belts.
00:35:56This can't last much longer.
00:35:58And please remain calm.
00:36:02Can't you find the landing spoke, Phillips?
00:36:04Not yet.
00:36:05But I am trying for that Mesa dead ahead.
00:36:08You think we'll make it?
00:36:10I don't know, sir.
00:36:12Keep your fingers crossed.
00:36:14Miss Culverton, no smoking.
00:36:17Okay, Captain.
00:36:18But may I ask where we are?
00:36:20Somewhere over Mexico at an altitude of 1,500.
00:36:22Remember the dying engine.
00:36:27The other one's okay.
00:36:29Doesn't do us any good.
00:36:30Not in this ship.
00:36:33Birds fly without motors.
00:36:35And so will we.
00:36:38Mister, I don't know who you are or what you are,
00:36:40but this bird won't fly.
00:36:42When a bird is sick, he has to land.
00:36:45When our bird is sick, very sick.
00:36:47The sick, I shall heal.
00:36:53The good, I shall protect.
00:36:57We've got a chance.
00:36:58I'm going down.
00:37:00Hold tight.
00:37:02There's going to be a rock.
00:37:06Hold on, everybody.
00:37:08It looks too short.
00:37:09I'll have to break the run.
00:37:10Is everything all right?
00:37:25Yes.
00:37:26Yes, I'm all right.
00:37:27Good.
00:37:27Good.
00:37:40Good girl, Miss Culberson.
00:38:03Oh, thank you, Captain.
00:38:04Good girl, Miss Culberson.
00:38:05Oh, thank you, Captain.
00:38:07I like it here.
00:38:31Our voices sound strange up here.
00:38:35Do you hear that?
00:38:36It must be the echo of our voices, my dear,
00:38:40thrown back at us from the forest.
00:38:42Two days ago, he got away from us.
00:38:44I've been hunting him ever since.
00:38:46I caught up with him in that border dive
00:38:48just before I killed that dancer.
00:38:50I tried, but I couldn't stop him.
00:38:52Why did he kill her?
00:38:54How did he get that gun?
00:38:55Nobody knows why he kills.
00:38:57He just wants to, and he does.
00:39:00Before he got that gun,
00:39:01he probably bought it.
00:39:03He has lots of money all the time.
00:39:04It doesn't mean a thing to him.
00:39:07Can't we get that gun away from him?
00:39:09I'll try, Captain.
00:39:11You can bet on that.
00:39:13But for the sake of all of this,
00:39:14don't try to rush or force him.
00:39:16Leave it to me.
00:39:17All right.
00:39:19May I smoke now, Captain?
00:39:21No, not yet.
00:39:22I have to look at the gas tanks first.
00:39:37Now, Miss Culverton, you may smoke.
00:39:39Thank you, Captain.
00:39:40Any idea where we are, Phillips?
00:39:42I think so, sir.
00:39:43We're in Mexico,
00:39:50about 120 miles below the border,
00:39:53on top of a mesa rising 600 feet above the desert.
00:39:57600 feet?
00:39:58That's right.
00:40:00Suck up in the air like a...
00:40:03like an island in the sky.
00:40:06I suppose we can't walk down from here.
00:40:08Not unless you're a human fly.
00:40:10Sorry, Captain.
00:40:11Haven't been with the circus for years.
00:40:13It's wonderful.
00:40:18So close to heaven.
00:40:33All right.
00:40:34Better get that flare.
00:40:35And the flashlight.
00:40:36We'll need some light.
00:40:39Something...
00:40:41I don't like it here.
00:40:43A bit.
00:40:44If I had a nightmare, this is it.
00:40:47Who could be out there?
00:40:48I don't know, but...
00:40:50It could be a very natural cause.
00:40:52An old dead branch breaking off,
00:40:54or a falling tree.
00:40:55I wouldn't worry too much.
00:40:57Well, here comes Wu.
00:40:57Now we can have a fire.
00:40:59Did you hear that noise out there, Wu?
00:41:01Yes, Master.
00:41:02Who heard?
00:41:02Did you see anything?
00:41:04The curtain of darkness
00:41:05veils the sharpest eyes.
00:41:07We saw nothing.
00:41:08Well, let's get that fire going.
00:41:11I'll be back in a minute.
00:41:12Well, that's better.
00:41:34We have a fire,
00:41:36a light where, and...
00:41:37A drink.
00:41:38Oh, I certainly can't use it.
00:41:39Well, this would occur to me
00:41:40when I saw the bottle.
00:41:42But first,
00:41:43let's get this into the air.
00:41:52Our only flare had worked.
00:41:54How do we know it was seen?
00:41:56Well, we don't, sir.
00:41:57All we can do is hope.
00:41:59Sorry, Miss Culberson.
00:42:01No glass.
00:42:02Oh, that's all right, Wu.
00:42:03It's a relief to be informal
00:42:04once in a while.
00:42:05I think I'll eat something.
00:42:14I feel hungry.
00:42:15Shut up, you fool.
00:42:16You were the fool, Jan.
00:42:19Remember his gun?
00:42:23A hungry animal
00:42:24knows no fear.
00:42:26No, thank you.
00:42:32Not brandy
00:42:33just before dinner.
00:42:35Sorry, sir,
00:42:36to disillusion you,
00:42:37but there's no food
00:42:37on this ship.
00:42:38Not even a K ration.
00:42:39Oh, thank you, sir.
00:42:50That helped.
00:42:53I'm going to look around.
00:42:54What for?
00:42:55You can't see anything.
00:42:57We need this flashlight.
00:42:58I have this.
00:43:00Does that give out enough light?
00:43:01Sure, I use it
00:43:02at the sanatorium
00:43:02all the time.
00:43:05It's past my dinner time, dear.
00:43:08Aren't you hungry?
00:43:09But, Mr. Masterson,
00:43:11we have no food with us.
00:43:13George will bring it.
00:43:15He always does.
00:43:34If our flare wasn't seen by anyone,
00:43:36how will we get off this mercer?
00:43:39To be honest, sir,
00:43:39I don't know.
00:43:40We can't do anything decisive
00:43:42until daylight.
00:43:42Thank you, sir.
00:43:44Good night.
00:44:45Thank you, Captain.
00:44:59You're so attentive.
00:45:01But even I can do some things for my friend.
00:45:04So I noticed.
00:45:06And, uh, no offense, ma'am.
00:45:07You scare easily, don't you, Captain?
00:45:11I'll go see what happened.
00:45:29Who's right?
00:45:29He doesn't even know.
00:45:30I'm going with you, Grant.
00:45:32Anything's better than to sit here and wait.
00:45:34May I suggest it to me right here until Phillips find out what happened?
00:45:37You'll be safer here.
00:45:38Are you concerned about my safety?
00:45:39George is out there and in trouble.
00:45:41I'll go.
00:45:42Anyone who wants to come along can do so now.
00:45:44I'd like a stroll before dinner.
00:45:47Since you insist, we all go.
00:45:49You come too.
00:45:50Yes, Master.
00:45:51I'll put some more wood on the fire.
00:46:07Let's stay close together.
00:46:08The best way is to hold each other's hand and form a line.
00:46:14If you don't mind.
00:46:15I believe it's better, Mr. Van Croft, if you hold on to Mr. Masterson's coat.
00:46:19And, Wu, you bring up the rear.
00:46:21The best way is to hold each other's hand and form a line.
00:46:51I can't see anything.
00:47:01I can't.
00:47:02Come on.
00:47:21Is that you, George?
00:47:32I can't.
00:47:33Let's go.
00:47:50The end of the trail can you see anything down there only a

00:54:01I realize that, sir.
00:54:04Doreen D.
00:54:07Why don't you try to make yourself a little comfortable?
00:54:11Try to get some rest.
00:54:13I'll try.
00:54:16The darkest shadows of the night will melt away with the morning sun.
00:54:22Mr. Manchester, don't you think you better get some sleep?
00:54:26Is it bedtime?
00:54:28Yeah.
00:54:29Yeah, it's bedtime.
00:54:35I'll wake you when morning comes.
00:54:37I'll wake you when morning comes.
00:55:10Very good, my dear, very good. Soon their nerves will break.
00:55:40I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
00:55:54I wasn't asleep.
00:55:57You nervous?
00:55:58No. I was just thinking.
00:56:05Phillips, why do you ignore me?
00:56:11Is that what you were thinking, Mel?
00:56:12Oh, yes. And I resent it.
00:56:17You're not used to it, huh?
00:56:20Do you really dislike me that much?
00:56:22I don't dislike you, Miss Coverson.
00:56:24But you don't approve of me, is that it?
00:56:27You think I'm marrying him for his money.
00:56:31Well, aren't you?
00:56:32Well, I'm very fond of him.
00:56:35But you don't love him.
00:56:37Well, I'm not exactly mad about him, if that's what you mean.
00:56:42But I am fond of him.
00:56:44And he can give you nice things.
00:56:47Well, yes.
00:56:48Why not?
00:56:51He can give me security, for one thing.
00:56:54And that's important.
00:56:59Don't you think?
00:57:00Why should you care with anything?
00:57:03I don't, exactly.
00:57:05It's just...
00:57:07I'd like you to understand me.
00:57:17What is it?
00:57:20I thought I heard something.
00:57:24No, I guess it wasn't anything.
00:57:32Now, uh...
00:57:33What were you saying?
00:57:36I was saying that I'd like you to understand me.
00:57:40I think I do understand you.
00:57:42Oh, no, you don't.
00:57:44You can't.
00:57:49Oh, yes, I can.
00:57:53I've...
00:57:54Had my hard knocks, too.
00:57:55I've had to work ever since I was a kid.
00:57:58Some of it wasn't very much fun.
00:58:02Well, I guess it boils down to what you want out of life.
00:58:05What is for you, Grant?
00:58:11Well...
00:58:11I want a girl who's sincere.
00:58:17Real.
00:58:17Someone who'd stick by me when the chips are down.
00:58:23One who wants me only for what I am.
00:58:26Not for what I have.
00:58:32There you go, Grant.
00:58:33Oh, wait a minute.
00:58:54This used to be your wedding night.
00:58:58Remember?
00:58:58Yes.
00:58:58Yes.
00:59:02Yes, of course.
00:59:08That was a foolish thing to do.
00:59:10This was no imagination.
00:59:12It was there, I thought.
00:59:13What did you see, dear?
00:59:14Well, I couldn't sleep.
00:59:19Phillips and I were sitting here talking, and there was a noise.
00:59:24I looked up, and I...
00:59:26I saw some women and little men.
00:59:29They seemed...
00:59:31unreal.
00:59:32No offense intended, Miss Culbertson, but I know what strange tricks our minds can play on us.
00:59:38Yes, I know, Phillips, but I'm sure I saw it.
00:59:42Where's your comb, my dear?
00:59:45A comb?
00:59:46Oh, I guess I lost it out there somewhere.
00:59:50But I gave it to you.
00:59:51We must find it.
00:59:53That comb is a valuable heirloom of my family.
00:59:56What do you mean by we?
00:59:58If you think I'm going out there once more, you're crazy.
01:00:00I didn't intend you to go.
01:00:03Who will go and look for it?
01:00:05May I have the light?
01:00:07Oh, don't be a fool!
01:00:09He who serves well will also serve in danger.
01:00:20Who?
01:00:21The wanderer in the Valley of Darkness shall have my guidance and protection.
01:00:35Okay, Wu.
01:00:37If you feel that way about it, I won't stop you.
01:00:39But don't hesitate to use that gun.
01:00:41I hope you know how.
01:00:43There's a day to be born and a day to die.
01:00:47Good night.
01:01:17I want you to realize that if Wu doesn't come back, you will be responsible.
01:01:38I'll never touch that comb again, even if he finds it.
01:01:43I still have my heirloom.
01:01:46You make me sick.
01:01:48Why did you ever have to leave that crazy house?
01:01:52Blessed be the pure in mind, for they shall find peace.
01:01:59And you are a coward, sir.
01:02:01What?
01:02:02Why are you...
01:02:03You're very brave, aren't you, since Masterson no longer has a gun.
01:02:07Let go of me or do you want to lose your job?
01:02:09I haven't had the opportunity to tell you yet, but I quit when Wu went out there in your orders.
01:02:16You brought Masterson?
01:02:37Yes, he's here.
01:02:39Good. We found him at last.
01:02:42What about the others?
01:02:44I have something in mind for the girl and the pilot,
01:02:47the other I shall dispose of.
01:02:54What's the matter, Wolf?
01:03:07Let's go.
01:03:12Let's go.
01:03:15Let's go.
01:03:25Let's go.
01:03:27Here we go.
01:04:02There's your priceless heirloom.
01:04:08Oh, he's dead.
01:04:09Yeah.
01:04:10You murdered him.
01:04:21They're coming for us. They're coming.
01:04:25Van Corp, no more water on that fire. Quick.
01:04:29Just keep it moving, Marine.
01:04:31Remember, we haven't seen him yet.
01:04:33Aren't you afraid, Grant?
01:04:35I'm scared stiff.
01:04:36If you're frightened, what do you call him?
01:04:40I can't stand it. I'm getting out of here.
01:04:44Don't be a fool. The only thing keeping you back is our fire.
01:04:54No. No.
01:04:57No!
01:04:58No!
01:04:59No!
01:05:00No!
01:05:01Patrick!
01:05:10Patrick!
01:05:12Help!
01:05:28He'll recover consciousness in a moment or so.
01:05:30He'll be perfectly sane again.
01:05:33Unfortunately, he left us in such a state before.
01:05:38I understand that he committed to an asylum,
01:05:41attempted to kill Tarantella.
01:05:44Grant, look.
01:05:46It's the dancer from the cafe.
01:05:48I saw him kill her.
01:05:50Amazing the durability of my creations.
01:05:56Dr. Arana.
01:05:58That's Spanish for spider.
01:06:00We meet again, Doctor.
01:06:01Again?
01:06:02Did I leave here?
01:06:03Yes.
01:06:04I seem to remember vaguely that...
01:06:07Yes, you escaped just before, Doctor,
01:06:10and you let us marry Chase, recovering you.
01:06:12Why?
01:06:13Why not just kill me?
01:06:14Why bring me back?
01:06:16Unfortunately, I still need your help.
01:06:19I'll give you one more chance to change your mind.
01:06:22No, never.
01:06:23Nothing you can do will ever make me a party to this.
01:06:26Tarantella.
01:06:27No, you're not going to torture him anymore.
01:06:29You are.
01:06:40Dammit!
01:06:41Don't you fool!
01:06:42Fool?
01:06:42I don't think so.
01:06:43In just a few moments, this will explode and destroy you and me and all of your terrible
01:06:47creations.
01:06:48Doctor, you're a man of science.
01:06:49You wouldn't destroy the greatest achievement of science.
01:06:51Scientist?
01:06:52Yes, but I'm a human being, too, and that's where we differ.
01:06:55You two have got a chance.
01:06:56Through that door.
01:06:56Down the corridor on the rock.
01:06:57Hurry!
01:06:58Who is he?
01:06:58What is this place?
01:06:59A brilliant madman.
01:07:00Hurry!
01:07:00There are only seconds left.
01:07:01What about you?
01:07:02Go down, you'll go.
01:07:06No, don't!
01:07:07I'm going to run you.
01:07:08Your creations can grow a new arm or leg, but nothing can survive fire.
01:07:12Fire!
01:07:22I don't know how long we stumbled and staggered across that desert before he found us.
01:07:32Well, that's about the story.
01:07:36Believe it or not.
01:07:38Grant.
01:07:41How do you feel, honey?
01:07:43All right, I guess.
01:07:45Why, I've just been telling them our story.
01:07:48They don't buy it.
01:07:49I think he did.
01:07:53It's right, Dan.
01:07:55That's the truth.
01:07:57Now, don't worry about it.
01:07:58You're going to be all right in a couple of days.
01:08:00Just a little too much sun on the bare head.
01:08:04Anybody thinks I'm going to load one of my trucks with oil and send it up on top of a mountain
01:08:08to burn a bunch of imaginary spiders?
01:08:12Yes, you're right, Dan.
01:08:15Common sense tells you there isn't anything to his story, doesn't it?
01:08:19Giant spiders on a desert mesa.
01:08:23Fantastic.
01:08:25Pepe is just a superstitious native.
01:08:28True, no one has ever been on Sapa Mesa.
01:08:32But it's just like any other bit of table land.
01:08:35Not a thing different about it.
01:08:38Or, uh, is there?
01:08:40Well, I've got an enormous amount of time.
01:08:44Right?
01:08:45I've got an enormous huge load up.
01:08:46We've got an enormous amount of time.
01:08:47habenen, and we've got an awesome soggy ΠΠ΅Π½Ρ to the heat of the sea.
01:08:52Because, um, lots of times, they'll work with us.
01:08:56Very spooky.
01:08:57See you next week.
01:08:58You can hear our Vargas Inn39.
01:09:00Surprise.
01:09:02Yeah, I know what I had enough time.
01:09:03Our Tuscalo Chironllo.
01:09:04How many of those are great saw it.
01:09:06We've got an enormous energy plan.
01:09:07I'm actually a no-person cabin outside sort of hour.
