00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29The End
00:01:59The End
00:02:29The End
00:02:59Do you hear me, girl?
00:03:11Well, you won't now.
00:03:17You got to play that thing so loud?
00:03:20Why don't you come out like this for you?
00:03:23Oh, don't bother me.
00:03:26Liz.
00:03:30Someday I'm going to give that she-cat a whopping she's been asking for.
00:03:35Sure you will, Dave.
00:03:36Bring the load down to her.
00:03:37Let her know who wears the pants around here.
00:03:41I'll be back in a minute.
00:03:46Any whoopings done back there, I'll lay a jug.
00:03:48She'll be doing it.
00:03:49She'll be doing it.
00:03:50Come on now, Lamb, and tell us about that thing you killed out there at the swamp, will you?
00:03:56Yeah, Liv, let's share the rest of that.
00:03:58Like I was thinking, I put five slugs into that critter before it went under.
00:04:03Oh, I told you before, I told you before, it was sort of gray-looking.
00:04:17Well, laugh if you want, but that thing weren't nothing nature put out there.
00:04:25Oh, sir, and it weren't no freak gator, neither.
00:04:28I've been poaching this country for 40 years, and I ain't never seen nothing like it.
00:04:48Too bad you didn't bring it back.
00:04:50Steve Benton probably paid a fair bounty for whatever it was.
00:04:53Bounty, I wouldn't touch that critter for all the money ever made.
00:05:00And if you'd seen it, you wouldn't either.
00:05:03You better take it easy on this stuff.
00:05:05You're looking kind of peaked.
00:05:07No, I'm going to clean my otter lines out before morning.
00:05:13Lamb, I think that critter's a ghost, one of those otters you've been poaching all these years,
00:05:18coming back to haunt you.
00:05:19Well, if that's so, you fellers will see it right quick yourselves.
00:05:39Oh, dear, buddy.
00:05:41Boy, it's hard.
00:05:49Look, it's not like I want to be mean or anything like that, Liz, baby.
00:06:12Well, I've got a reputation around here.
00:06:15These folks have no respect for a man who lets his woman boss him.
00:06:19Well, next thing they know, they'll be laughing at me.
00:06:21And they'll be telling all the rest of them.
00:06:23Won't you please listen to me, Liz, baby?
00:06:28Liz?
00:06:28Liz?
00:06:28Liz?
00:06:42Liz?
00:06:43Liz?
00:07:01Stop looking at me like that.
00:07:03I'll look at you any way I want, you my wife.
00:07:12Don't touch me.
00:07:21You think you're talking to me?
00:07:23Don't touch me. You're my wife.
00:07:25I'll touch you anytime I feel like it.
00:07:34Where are you going?
00:07:40Where are you going?
00:07:43I'm going out.
00:07:45Maybe I'll be back.
00:07:47Maybe I won't.
00:07:48This baby, I don't mean nothing.
00:08:12There was a young one in that last trap. I had to kill it.
00:08:22Oh, poor thing.
00:08:24I told you you shouldn't have come along.
00:08:27I can understand hunting an animal, but making it suffer in those traps, it's horrible.
00:08:39The poachers know the swamps like the back of their hands.
00:08:41But I'll catch one of them in the axe some night and put him away for six months.
00:08:45In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied confiscating their trap lines.
00:08:48If they lose enough traps, it won't pay them to keep trying.
00:08:50Well, be careful, darling.
00:08:52These people aren't like other folks.
00:08:54You know, they'll try and get back at you.
00:08:56Let them try.
00:08:58Steve, you're a stranger here.
00:09:00They've lived this way for generations.
00:09:02One man isn't going to change them overnight.
00:09:04You're a real worrywart.
00:09:06I'm serious, Steve.
00:09:08They can be dangerous.
00:09:10Okay, I'll be careful.
00:09:12You just stop worrying.
00:09:21Oh, Steve, I love you.
00:09:23I love you so much.
00:09:29What was that?
00:09:31I don't know. You get in the truck and lock it up.
00:09:33I don't know.
00:10:03I don't know.
00:10:12Listen, Benton.
00:10:13The coroner ruled that Sawyer died in a misadventure.
00:10:16Now, as far as this office is concerned, that's the end of it.
00:10:18But, Sheriff, I can't see why the...
00:10:20Look, if Lem was killed by anything human, I wouldn't need you to tell me my job.
00:10:24But I'm not about to go tromping through the swamp looking for an overgrown gator.
00:10:29Sawyer wasn't killed by an alligator.
00:10:31Is that so?
00:10:33Did you hear that, Morton?
00:10:34Game Warden Benton says there wasn't a gator killed Lem.
00:10:38Well, Lem, what was it?
00:10:39You know so much.
00:10:40Go on, tell me. What killed him?
00:10:42Doc Grayson said the wounds were the kind of squid or a large octopus might cause.
00:10:46Oh, sure. And did Grayson explain how a saltwater creature happened to be 30 miles inland living in clear water?
00:10:53Stranger things have happened. I know...
00:10:55Look here, Benton.
00:10:56You work for the state.
00:10:58Now, why don't you keep your nose out of county business?
00:11:01Is that clear enough for you?
00:11:03Oh, go soak your fat head.
00:11:09What was that you said?
00:11:10I said, go soak your fat head.
00:11:19Oh, that boy's looking for bad trouble.
00:11:22And he's sure going to get it.
00:11:24You can bet on that.
00:11:34So, you see, the octopi uses its suction discs to hold its prey.
00:11:39Now, in itself, the disc will not inflict a wound.
00:11:42Same is true of the squid.
00:11:43Now, both creatures have a parrot-like beak as their primary offensive and defensive weapon.
00:11:48Well, maybe the sheriff was right, Dad.
00:11:52Could be a freak or a malformed alligator.
00:11:56No.
00:11:57No, I'm afraid it wasn't.
00:12:00Well, where does that leave us, Doc?
00:12:02I wish I knew.
00:12:04You know, I'm beginning to think Lem was telling the truth in Walker's store.
00:12:08He did see something that night.
00:12:11Something that had intelligence enough to seek him out and destroy him later.
00:12:15But Sawyer claims to have killed the thing he saw.
00:12:17Put a half a dozen rifle bullets into it.
00:12:19I've seen that old .44-40 he used.
00:12:21Nothing could live after being hit with those slugs.
00:12:24Well, conceding the possibility of one such creature,
00:12:28we must also concede the possibility of others.
00:12:34Well, there's one sure way of finding out.
00:12:37Go in and search every backwater, channel and wet spot in the swamp.
00:12:41If it's there, I'll find it.
00:12:42I can't find it.
00:12:43I can't find it.
00:12:44I can't find it.
00:12:45No way!
00:12:46Fuck!
00:12:47Four away!
00:12:48There's no chance trεΌ,
00:12:51but no kΓΌΓ§otto.
00:12:52Big little bit more.
00:12:53Fincies.
00:12:54Yes!
00:12:55You have ΠΡΠ°Π²Kay,
00:12:56no one one can borrow.
00:12:57Malys Mickey.
00:12:58I can't pay the ur Scout.
00:12:59No not he Even ak Π½Π΅ Ρ
ΠΎΡΡ no more to the house.
00:13:00I can't stand him.
00:13:01Let's go.
00:13:02It's not my neighbor to the rats away.
00:13:04Why factors do the rats think they were.
00:13:06It's quiet around here.
00:13:36Did you hear something?
00:14:06Yes?
00:14:07Well, whatever it was, it's not here anymore.
00:14:21Do you want some coffee?
00:14:23Yeah, thanks, son.
00:14:27What?
00:14:28An army could hide in here and never be noticed.
00:14:31Well, one did.
00:14:32What?
00:14:33Seminole was under Osceola in the 1830s.
00:14:36It took the U.S. Army two years to round them up.
00:14:39I remember reading about Osceola in high school.
00:14:42Two years.
00:14:44I've only been at it two days and I feel worn out.
00:14:48Well, we might as well keep on looking around.
00:14:51Come on looking around.
00:14:52Come on looking around.
00:14:58Well, I guess we may as well give up for today.
00:14:59Well, you won't get any argument from me.
00:15:05Well, you won't get any argument from me.
00:15:26Well, you won't get any argument from me.
00:15:27Well, you won't get any argument from me.
00:15:28Well, you won't get any argument from me.
00:15:33Well, I don't look at all.
00:15:45Well, you're good.
00:15:49I don't like the question.
00:15:53Do you want?
00:15:58I'm asking you for the last time, Dave Walker.
00:16:14You answer me, you dirty old man!
00:16:18I ain't dirty, Liz, baby.
00:16:21Liz, baby. Liz, honey!
00:16:24Can't you think of anything else, stupid?
00:16:26I've got to get this order over Miss Chauvey.
00:16:28She's one of my better customers.
00:16:31Can't keep her waiting.
00:16:34I love you, Liz, baby.
00:16:38Get out.
00:16:39Get out, you fat pig!
00:16:56You, um, have some trouble, Dave?
00:17:01You know women, Cal.
00:17:03Got to get the hair down every now and then.
00:17:06You sure do know an awful lot about females.
00:17:09I've got to hand it to you.
00:17:12I can't stand here at John, Cal.
00:17:14Got to get this order over to Miss Chauvey.
00:17:17What's she letting her hair down about this time?
00:17:19Well, ever since Lynn got herself killed,
00:17:24she wants me to sell out and move into town.
00:17:28Don't you let her bamboozle you, Dave.
00:17:30You keep her right here in the store.
00:17:33After all, the place wouldn't be the same without you around.
00:17:37Thanks, Cal.
00:17:38I better get going.
00:17:40See when I get back.
00:17:41Yeah, I'll be around.
00:17:42Miss Chauvey, honey.
00:17:58Liz, baby.
00:18:03It's Cal, honey.
00:18:12You want something, Cal?
00:18:19I sure do, honey.
00:18:37Quiet.
00:18:40Oh, I'm dead.
00:18:41Me too.
00:18:42Come on over here.
00:18:54Ah, it seems kind of silly knocking ourselves out
00:18:56looking for something we aren't even sure exists.
00:18:59What do you mean?
00:19:02You know, we've covered miles of back channel
00:19:04and haven't come across anything to support your father's theory
00:19:07of an alien creature.
00:19:09Not so much as a mud print we couldn't identify.
00:19:11I know.
00:19:12You're not going to give up, are you, Steve?
00:19:19Well, I can't waste any more time on a wild goose chase.
00:19:24With all respect to your father's ideas.
00:19:30Dad seems so sure.
00:19:31Good night.
00:19:32Good night.
00:19:32Good night.
00:19:33God bless you.
00:19:34Good night.
00:19:44Good night.
00:19:47Hey, my god.
00:19:47I can't do theγγ.
00:19:52Hey, my god.
00:19:53Thanks for the little food.
00:19:53How things do you grow?
00:19:54You're some woman, Liz.
00:20:15I reckon I haven't met a woman like you before.
00:20:19You really like me, Cal?
00:20:21You're kidding me.
00:20:25No, I didn't hurt you now, did I?
00:20:28You're just so strong.
00:20:32I like a man that's strong.
00:20:36You sure picked a doozy than man, Dave.
00:20:41I don't think he's got a muscle in him.
00:20:44Just a big piece of flab.
00:20:47Oh, honey, I didn't mean anything against you.
00:20:53Just that I can't see a real woman like you tying in with a tub of lard like him.
00:20:59You wouldn't understand, Cal.
00:21:05You know, I've wanted to tell you.
00:21:11I just wouldn't understand.
00:21:13You try me.
00:21:15Come on, you tell old Cal about it.
00:21:19You wouldn't think bad of me.
00:21:25Crazy.
00:21:27You tell me you killed your pa and your ma and your whole family.
00:21:32I fight to protect you.
00:21:34I fight to protect you.
00:21:50I don't know.
00:22:18My husband is a no-good bum.
00:22:21Couldn't keep a job more than a week.
00:22:25Used to get a lush duck, come home beat up on me.
00:22:30He must have been a prize pig.
00:22:33One night he tried to hold up a gas station.
00:22:37He was so drunk he couldn't even run.
00:22:40I thought I'm less than a mile away.
00:22:43He got sent up.
00:22:46I got a divorce.
00:22:48It's rough.
00:22:52After three years working on our lousy beanery,
00:22:54I was ready for the first guy that said a nice word to me.
00:22:59It was Dave.
00:23:01That's it.
00:23:03I wish it had been me.
00:23:04I don't know how to take care of a woman like you, Liz.
00:23:08Maybe it ain't too late, pal.
00:23:18You're wrong, woman.
00:23:21It's too late for the both of you.
00:23:24Get up.
00:23:27Come on, get up.
00:23:29Now look, Dave, I know what you're thinking, but...
00:23:32I got double large shot in this here thing.
00:23:35You got two seconds before I'm pulling the trigger.
00:23:39No point getting riled, Dave.
00:23:45It wasn't my fault.
00:23:47She's been testing me for months to take her out.
00:23:50Sure, Cal.
00:23:52I understand.
00:23:54Get her up so I can get a better look at the line, little tramp.
00:23:57Come on, get her up.
00:24:01Come on, get up.
00:24:02Oh, no.
00:24:03No, he killed me.
00:24:04He killed me.
00:24:05Jump him.
00:24:07Your husband wants to take a look at you.
00:24:13You walk all the way, Dave?
00:24:15One more step and I'll blow your plumbing, too.
00:24:18Get over there.
00:24:21Now, Dave, it ain't as bad as you think.
00:24:23Shut up.
00:24:26What are you going to do?
00:24:28You'll find out soon enough.
00:24:32Dave, you put down that gun before I get mad and make you eat it.
00:24:36You go ahead and try it, Cal.
00:24:38Go right ahead and try it.
00:24:41Move.
00:24:42Move!
00:25:02Go!
00:25:26Come on.
00:25:27I can't go anywhere.
00:25:29No!
00:25:30Come on!
00:25:57Go on, run!
00:25:58Run till you drop!
00:26:00Run till you drop!
00:26:02I can't go anymore, you've got to let me stop it for a minute.
00:26:29He's never been here. He's been remembered like a full child.
00:26:33I don't care.
00:26:59Come on. Keep going.
00:27:04Dave, please, you've got to listen.
00:27:07It wasn't my fault, Ernest.
00:27:09She kept playing up to me every time you turned your back.
00:27:12It wasn't my fault.
00:27:14You call yourself a man.
00:27:16You and your muscles.
00:27:19Shut up, you trapped.
00:27:21If it wasn't you, I wouldn't be in this place.
00:27:23And my old friend Dave wouldn't be doing this thing to me.
00:27:26It's all your fault.
00:27:28Get going.
00:27:31But Dave, Dave, we've been friends.
00:27:34We've been friends a long time, Dave.
00:27:36You wouldn't kill an old friend, Dave.
00:27:39If you don't move, I'll kill you where you stand.
00:27:42But Dave!
00:27:45Pray, big man.
00:27:51I didn't mean it, Dave.
00:27:54I didn't mean it.
00:27:56I didn't mean it.
00:27:57I didn't mean it, Dave.
00:27:59I'm sorry.
00:28:01I'm sorry.
00:28:03Please, Dave!
00:28:05I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
00:28:13I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry, Dave.
00:28:16I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
00:28:18Please, I'm sorry.
00:28:26Do you think you'll learn enough to stay away from a woman, Carol?
00:28:29Anything, Dave?
00:28:31I'll move in there. I'll move out of the county.
00:28:34I'll do anything you say, Dave. Anything.
00:28:38All right. Come on out of there.
00:28:42Oh, Dave! Dave! Give me a hand.
00:28:45How'd you go?
00:28:51Look out! Look out!
00:28:53Behind you!
00:28:59There ain't nothin' down here, Sheriff.
00:29:02Well, I'm gettin' tired of this.
00:29:05Come on in, boys.
00:29:07Well, if there was any bodies out there, we'd have found them.
00:29:12I want some straight answers, Walter.
00:29:13And don't give me any more of that crud about monsters, either.
00:29:15Where'd you hide them after you've killed them?
00:29:18I'm getting tired of this.
00:29:21Come on in, boys.
00:29:27Well, if there was any bodies out there, we'd have found them.
00:29:31I want some straight answers, Walter.
00:29:34And don't give me any more of that crud about monsters, either.
00:29:38Where'd you hide them after you killed them?
00:29:42Told you the truth, Sheriff.
00:29:44I didn't kill them.
00:29:45I just wanted to scare them good.
00:29:51I loved my Liz.
00:29:54I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
00:29:57I loved her.
00:29:59Sure.
00:30:00You loved her.
00:30:02That's why you chased her through the swamp with a shotgun.
00:30:06Come on, Walker.
00:30:07Where'd you hide the bodies?
00:30:09Won't you believe me?
00:30:11There were some monsters.
00:30:13I'll take him out of here before I lose my temper.
00:30:24County pay a reward if someone finds a body, Sheriff.
00:30:29Fifty dollars.
00:30:32Each?
00:30:34Yeah.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:35You know, I never thought that of old Dave.
00:30:42Of course, everybody knowed that Cal and Liz had a hankering for each other.
00:30:46Everybody but old Dave.
00:30:49Stern fools.
00:30:51Grappling out there in the middle of the water.
00:30:54If them bodies are still in there,
00:30:56you can bet some old bull gator's got them stuffed in his cave under the bank,
00:31:01letting them ripen up for a few days.
00:31:04Yeah, well,
00:31:07what we need now is some long cypress poles to go in there and probe them gator caves.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:28I'm sorry, Doc.
00:31:29I can't do it.
00:31:31I'll have to do it myself.
00:31:32I wouldn't want to have to arrest you, Doc,
00:31:34but I will if I find you near the preserve with any explosives.
00:31:37Steve.
00:31:38I'm sorry, Nan.
00:31:39That's the way it's got to be.
00:31:41Steve's right, Nan.
00:31:42It's his job to protect wildlife.
00:31:44What about human life?
00:31:46Three people have been killed in that game preserve.
00:31:49Doesn't that mean anything to you?
00:31:51Nan, try to understand.
00:31:52Nan, if I could be sure something in the swamp was responsible for those deaths,
00:31:56I wouldn't hesitate a minute.
00:31:58We've been together the last three days.
00:32:00We didn't see a trace of anything unusual.
00:32:03Not so much as a suggestion of any form of life unknown to us.
00:32:07Steve?
00:32:08Something killed those people.
00:32:10All right.
00:32:10I'll admit Sawyer's death left a lot of questions unanswered.
00:32:14But you can bet your bottom dollar the other two died from Dave Walker's shotgun.
00:32:18Do you really believe that?
00:32:19Figure it out, Nan.
00:32:21Walker admitted chasing his wife and cow into the swamps after he found them together.
00:32:25He shot them and he tried to place the blame on Sawyer's DTs.
00:32:29If Sawyer had told us seeing purple giraffes with polka dot tails,
00:32:32Walker would have claimed they did it.
00:32:34There's one argument against that, Steve.
00:32:37Dave Walker wasn't the kind of a man to hang himself,
00:32:39not even with two murder charges against him.
00:32:41I talked with Dave less than an hour before he killed himself.
00:32:45That man was in a state of shock.
00:32:47I've seen frightened men before, terrified men.
00:32:50But I've never seen anything to compare with the horror and the fear in Walker's eyes.
00:32:54Well, he realized what he'd done and he killed two people.
00:32:57One his wife.
00:32:59Look, Doc, Nan and I were all over that swamp.
00:33:01Why didn't these monsters attack us?
00:33:04I've been thinking about that.
00:33:05They're probably night creatures.
00:33:07They can't stand the light and they stay down near the bottom during the day.
00:33:11A small charge would stun them, bring them to the surface.
00:33:15Can't buy it, Doc.
00:33:16You're pig-headed Steve Benton.
00:33:20Stubborn and pig-headed.
00:33:22You just don't understand, do you?
00:33:32Good night, Doc.
00:33:33Good night.
00:33:33Good night.
00:33:33Take care.
00:33:34Good night.
00:33:55Right over there in them reeds.
00:34:25Right over there in them reeds is where that big one used to be.
00:34:42Yeah.
00:34:43Caught some good catfish in that hole.
00:34:48Boy, that's a sure hot one.
00:35:11Right unseasonable.
00:35:15Sure is funny.
00:35:17Huh?
00:35:19Noticed anything?
00:35:20About what?
00:35:21We've been prodding around you all morning.
00:35:24Ain't run across a single gator.
00:35:27By rights, this pool should be crawling with them.
00:35:32Sure funny.
00:35:33Yeah, that is funny.
00:35:35I don't like the looks of things.
00:35:37Let's call it a day.
00:35:39Well, now, wait a minute.
00:35:40We ain't pulled the gator holes around the bin yet.
00:35:42You do what you want to do, boy.
00:35:44Just get me on dry land.
00:35:46And right quick.
00:35:47All right.
00:35:48Now, ain't no use getting all head up.
00:35:50Let's go.
00:35:54You gotta quit drinking that moonshine.
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:58That's why you're so wrinkled and ugly.
00:36:01I know where we are here.
00:36:06Wild goose chase.
00:36:11Hello.
00:36:12Well, what?
00:36:13Yes.
00:36:14You gotta go.
00:36:15You go, not your draper.
00:36:16No, not your draper.
00:36:17You won't.
00:36:18No!
00:36:20No!
00:36:21No!
00:36:22No!
00:36:23No!
00:36:24No...
00:36:37Oh, my God.
00:37:07Oh, my God.
00:37:37Oh, my God.
00:38:07Oh, my God.
00:38:37Oh, my God.
00:38:38Oh, my God.
00:38:39Oh, my God.
00:38:41Doc, you and Nan take your car and get as many volunteers as you can.
00:38:45Tell them to meet me at the old wagon road.
00:38:47I'll call Doak Evans and have him bring his dogs.
00:38:50Either they're lost or they've had an accident.
00:38:54I hope to heaven you're right.
00:38:55I'll call him, please.
00:39:03Oh, my God.
00:39:33Oh, my God.
00:40:03Well, they picked up the scent, anyway.
00:40:24Dad, do you think they'll find them?
00:40:25Only the good Lord can answer that.
00:40:29Well, at least we know they got this far.
00:40:50All right, let's split up into two parties and circle the lake.
00:40:53Keep your eyes open.
00:40:55Let's move out.
00:41:23All clear.
00:41:42It's clear over here.
00:41:45Oh, my God.
00:41:50Oh, my God.
00:41:54Oh, my God.
00:41:57Oh, my God.
00:42:01Oh, my God.
00:42:08Oh, my God.
00:42:13Oh, my God.
00:42:18Oh, my God.
00:42:24All right, let's keep moving.
00:42:28Well, we can't do anything more tonight. Might as well start back.
00:42:54I reckon it ain't no use hurrying now, Mr. Benton.
00:42:57If Reed and old Sam was alive, they'd let us know him with a holler or something.
00:43:02Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
00:43:04You fellas notice anything about this lake? I mean the gators.
00:43:08What about them?
00:43:09They ain't. A piece of water this size usually has maybe 50, 60 big ones around.
00:43:15A whole lot of little ones. It's real unnatural.
00:43:19Well, maybe our torches scared them away.
00:43:21Nothing scares gators. They're nothing. Animal or human.
00:43:26Well, we might as well get out of here.
00:43:39You got something in mind, Steve?
00:43:42I keep thinking what Evans said about the gators. Nothing scares them, animal or human.
00:43:49And yet something made them leave. Maybe a mineral contamination. I guess I'd better run some water samples.
00:43:56Come on, you two. Drink your coffee.
00:44:00And supposing there is no contamination?
00:44:03Then I'll send over to Eastport for a diving rig and go down to look for this monster of yours.
00:44:08No, Steve. Don't even joke like that.
00:44:11I'm not joking, man. I had some training with an aqualung while I was in the Navy.
00:44:14But Steve!
00:44:15Look, there are two bodies we know for sure down there. Maybe four. They've got to be brought up.
00:44:20Wait a minute. There are no alligators in that part of the swamp, right?
00:44:24So?
00:44:25No sign of any fish or snakes?
00:44:28No. What are you getting at, Doc?
00:44:31Well, that goes your argument about setting off a dynamite charge underwater.
00:44:35You'd bring the bodies to the surface.
00:44:38Get it out of your mind, Doc. I'm not using any explosives as long as there's another way.
00:44:42Why must you be such a...
00:44:44Stubborn pig head?
00:44:45Exactly.
00:44:46I'll tell you why.
00:44:48Number one, there's bound to be some Aquarian life in that section, even if the bigger forms have abandoned it.
00:44:54Explosion underwater would destroy every living thing and wreck what nature took years to build up.
00:45:00Number two, I'm paid to prevent the useless slaughter of wildlife.
00:45:04Number three, I'd have to get authorization.
00:45:06To get that authorization, I'd have to come up with a heck of a good reason.
00:45:10Satisfied?
00:45:13Finish up, Dad. I want to go home.
00:45:16Uh, Steve.
00:45:18How long would it take to get this diving equipment from Eastport?
00:45:22A couple of days. Why?
00:45:25Oh, nothing.
00:45:29Take care of yourself, Steve.
00:45:36Well, here's hoping.
00:45:41Dad.
00:45:42Can't you throw the dynamite in from here?
00:45:44No, I want to get it out into the middle.
00:45:46In the deepest part.
00:45:47All right.
00:45:53All right.
00:45:54All right.
00:45:55All right.
00:45:56All right.
00:45:57All right.
00:45:58All right.
00:45:59Stop!
00:46:21Stop!
00:46:29Oh, my God.
00:46:59Don't you go any minute.
00:47:29Oh, my God.
00:47:59I just can't figure it out.
00:48:16Walker's wife, why didn't her body come to the surface?
00:48:19I don't know.
00:48:20Well, I think I'd better walk over to the coroner's office.
00:48:26It's a matter of, Mr. Benton.
00:48:28You feel awkward about arresting my father in his own home?
00:48:31I warned him I'd arrest him if he used dynamite.
00:48:34That's nice of you.
00:48:37Well, the autopsy should be over by now.
00:48:39Oh, Steve.
00:48:44I thought you'd be here.
00:48:46I don't like to have to do this, doctor.
00:48:49Do we have time for a cup of coffee first?
00:48:52Sure.
00:48:53Mind, honey?
00:48:54No, I'll make some sandwiches.
00:48:56One thing is certain, for all the good it'll do now.
00:49:11Dave Walker didn't shoot Cal.
00:49:13Well, I just come from the autopsies.
00:49:18Covers tried to keep me out.
00:49:20If I told them I'd raise a stink, they'd smell all the way to the Capitol if he did.
00:49:24Well, what killed them, Doc?
00:49:26Not drowning.
00:49:28And Cal wasn't shot, either.
00:49:29Every drop of blood was drained out of their bodies.
00:49:35And they had wounds on their throats.
00:49:37Suction wounds.
00:49:39Like a gigantic leech might make.
00:49:43And there's something even more incredible.
00:49:45Now, Cal was supposed to have been killed several days ago.
00:49:49Sam and Reed had been missing a matter of 48 hours.
00:49:52All three of them, as far as we know, were in that lake a minimum of two days.
00:49:58Now, I'd state my reputation as a doctor.
00:50:00That Cal hadn't been dead more than two or three hours when we found him.
00:50:04And the other two less than that.
00:50:06First stage rigor mortis started in during the autopsy.
00:50:09But how could that be, Doc?
00:50:10It's impossible.
00:50:12The coroner will confirm it.
00:50:15Whatever killed him is still in that lake.
00:50:17And it's going to take more than dynamite to get it out.
00:50:22Concussion from those charges would have killed a full-grown whale.
00:50:27That explains how Cal and the others lived after they were supposed to be drowned.
00:50:31What do you mean?
00:50:33This whole region is riddled by caves and caverns cut out by the ocean thousands of years ago.
00:50:38If there are caves above the water, then there must be caves under the water.
00:50:42Go on.
00:50:44Mike and I had a chance to fool around with some frogman equipment captured from the Italian Navy.
00:50:48We sort of prowled through a sunken transport off Salerno.
00:50:54When the ship went down, it trapped some air inside the hull.
00:50:58We'd go down, come up inside the officer's lounge, take off her face mask, and sort of sample some of the bottles floating around.
00:51:06We'd drive the guys crazy trying to figure out how we were getting the stuff.
00:51:08Steve, you mean you think that there's an ale pocket or a cave underneath the lake?
00:51:14Right, gotta be.
00:51:15How else could those people have lived down there?
00:51:17Not only that, explains how whatever it is down there lived through the concussions.
00:51:21Steve.
00:51:24Liz Walker.
00:51:27She might still be down there.
00:51:30Alive.
00:51:30No, no, no.
00:52:00No, no, no, no, no.
00:52:30You sure you don't want me to go down for you, Mike?
00:52:34You haven't had one of these things on for a long time.
00:52:36Well, for me, every other day, I've been playing fish.
00:52:40Not this time, Mike.
00:52:43If you ask me, they ought to have their heads examined.
00:52:46Giant leeches.
00:52:49I'm willing to bet a month's pay.
00:52:51They don't come up with nothing more than excuses.
00:52:54He's crazy.
00:52:55Him, the doc, and his brat, too.
00:52:58Just wait like it on the phone at the Capitol.
00:53:01I'll guarantee somebody will wish they'd kept their nose out of other people's business.
00:53:05I'll guarantee that.
00:53:15Steve.
00:53:16Be careful, please.
00:53:20Don't worry.
00:53:20Mike will be ready if anything goes wrong.
00:53:22Don't worry about Steve.
00:53:23Now, if you were going after Barracuda, you might have a tiny bit to worry about.
00:53:28Ready, Mike?
00:53:28οΏ½fielfielfala.com
00:53:29Let's go.
00:53:40Try as well.
00:53:46Don't worry.
00:53:51Estabued.
00:53:52Bye.
00:53:55Bye.
00:53:57No, no, please stay away.
00:54:19Please.
00:54:22Not exactly inviting, is it?
00:54:25That sure isn't.
00:54:27Hold her steady, Mike.
00:54:50It'll stop anything up to a tiger shot.
00:54:52But you gotta hit, and this don't count.
00:54:54If anything goes wrong, just yank on the line, and I'll be down in a hurry.
00:54:58I see you next time.
00:55:06Oh, my God.
00:55:36Let's go.
00:56:06You sure you don't want me to go down and finish it off for you, Steve?
00:56:32No, thanks, Mike.
00:56:33I think I hurt her pretty bad.
00:56:37Careful, now.
00:56:38Anything hurts ten times as dangerous.
00:56:45He's wounded it!
00:56:46He's going to finish it off!
00:56:48Does he have to go under again?
00:56:51He's got to make sure, honey.
00:56:54Where could it have come from?
00:56:57I wish I knew.
00:56:59We'll have to make some tests.
00:57:01Maybe the proximity of Cape Canaveral's got something to do with it.
00:57:04The rocket station?
00:57:05Well, they use atomic energy in their first stages of launching.
00:57:09Not all of them have been successful.
00:57:11You think that if some animal life was close by, not close enough to be killed, but close
00:57:16enough to feel the effects of a radioactive energy that's...
00:57:18A mutation.
00:57:20A type of gigantism of some common animal.
00:57:24Whatever it is, I hope he's able to bring it up.
00:57:27If you are losing it, please, Jake.
00:57:47I'm sorry, Maybe.
00:57:48Look!
00:57:48Ah!
00:57:49Oh, my God.
00:58:19that can't be liz
00:58:29what could have done that look at her face
00:58:49oh
00:58:58the
00:59:01yeah
00:59:04yeah
00:59:09yeah
00:59:12yeah
00:59:16The End
00:59:46What is that? Look at that thing.
01:00:06I've been around here for years. I never saw nothing like that.
01:00:16I never saw nothing like that.
01:00:46I never saw nothing like that.
01:01:16But this time, they must be licking their wounds.
01:01:20You sure you used enough stuff to do the job, Mike?
01:01:22I used 100 sticks of 40%.
01:01:24I'll blow the bottom right out.
01:01:26All right, let her go.
01:01:28Oh, no. I've done enough of your dirty work.
01:01:30Help yourself.
01:01:46Oh, no, no, that's all.
01:01:49I love you.
01:01:51Oh, no, no.
01:01:53I love you.
01:02:04Once.
01:02:11The End
