00:02:54The End
00:02:55Well, you won't now.
00:03:05You want to play that thing so loud?
00:03:08Why don't you come out like this for?
00:03:11Oh, don't bother me.
00:03:13Liz.
00:03:18Someday I'm going to give that she-cat the weapon she's been asking for.
00:03:21Sure you will, Dave. Bring a little down to her.
00:03:25Let her know who wears the pants around here.
00:03:29I'll be back in a minute.
00:03:33Any whoopens done back there, I'll lay a jug.
00:03:36She'll be doing it.
00:03:39Come on now, Lamb, and tell us about that thing you killed out there at the swamp, will you?
00:03:43Yeah, Liv, let's hear the rest of that.
00:03:45Like I was saying, I put five slugs into that critter before it went under.
00:03:51Don't call this thing I've ever seen.
00:03:54And regular arms on it like a man.
00:03:56It was sort of different looking.
00:03:59Had suckers on them.
00:04:02Like one of them, uh...
00:04:04Like one of them octopuses things.
00:04:07Oh, it was plum off look.
00:04:10Lamb, you sure that critter wasn't pink?
00:04:12Oh, I told you before, it was sort of gray looking.
00:04:20You'll laugh if you want.
00:04:22But that thing weren't nothing nature put out there.
00:04:25Oh, sure.
00:04:26And it weren't no freak gator neither.
00:04:30I've been poaching this country for 40 years,
00:04:32and I ain't never seen nothing like it.
00:04:36Well, too bad you didn't bring it back.
00:04:37Steve Benton probably paid a fair bounty for him, whatever it was.
00:04:41Bounty?
00:04:42I wouldn't touch that critter for all the money ever made.
00:04:47And if you seen it, you wouldn't either.
00:04:50You better take it easy on this stuff.
00:04:52You're looking kind of peaked.
00:04:55No.
00:04:56I'm going to clean my otter lines out before morning.
00:05:00Lamb, I think that critter's a ghost of one of those otters
00:05:04you've been poaching all these years, coming back to haunt you.
00:05:09Well, if that's so,
00:05:11you fellas will see it right quick yourselves.
00:05:27Oh, my boy.
00:05:30Look, it's not like I want to be mean or anything like that, Liz, baby.
00:06:00But I got a reputation around here.
00:06:03These folks have no respect for a man who lets his woman boss him.
00:06:06Well, next thing I know, they'll be laughing at me.
00:06:09And they'll be telling all the rest of them.
00:06:11Won't you please listen to me, Liz, baby?
00:06:15Liz?
00:06:15Liz?
00:06:15Liz?
00:06:30Liz?
00:06:30Liz?
00:06:31Liz?
00:06:31Liz?
00:06:32Liz?
00:06:32Liz?
00:06:33Liz?
00:06:33Liz?
00:06:34Liz?
00:06:34I'll be looking at me like that.
00:06:37I'll look at you any way I want, you my wife.
00:06:51I'll touch you any way I want, you're my wife.
00:07:08Don't touch me.
00:07:09Who do you think you're talking to?
00:07:11Don't touch me.
00:07:12You're my wife.
00:07:13I'll touch you any time I feel like it.
00:07:22Where are you going?
00:07:28Where are you going?
00:07:31I'm going out.
00:07:33Maybe I'll be back, maybe I won't.
00:07:36This baby, I don't mean nothing.
00:07:51Well, there was a young one in that last trap. I had to kill it.
00:08:10Oh, poor thing.
00:08:12I told you you shouldn't have come along.
00:08:19Well, I can understand hunting an animal, but making it suffer in those traps, it's horrible.
00:08:26Well, these poachers know the swamp's like the back of their hands.
00:08:29But I'll catch one of them in the axe some night and put him away for six months.
00:08:33In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied confiscating their trap lines.
00:08:36If you lose enough traps, it won't pay them to keep trying.
00:08:38Well, be careful, darling.
00:08:40These people aren't like other folks.
00:08:42You know, they'll try and get back at you.
00:08:44Let them try.
00:08:46Steve, you're a stranger here.
00:08:47They've lived this way for generations.
00:08:50One man isn't going to change them overnight.
00:08:52You're a real worrywart.
00:08:54I'm serious, Steve.
00:08:56They can be dangerous.
00:08:58Okay, I'll be careful.
00:09:00You just stop worrying.
00:09:08Oh, Steve, I love you.
00:09:11I love you so much.
00:09:17What was that?
00:09:19I don't know.
00:09:20You get in the truck and lock it up.
00:09:21manbooked the person from the eye.
00:09:35Margaret Monti!
00:09:36Well you're not sure.
00:09:40He's the clock and he's the king.
00:09:45He's the king brother!
00:09:46My friend one!
00:09:47Listen, Benton, the coroner ruled that Sawyer died by misadventure.
00:10:04Now, as far as this officer's concerned, that's the end of it.
00:10:07But, Sheriff, I can't see why the...
00:10:08Look, if Lem was killed by anything human, I wouldn't need you to tell me my job.
00:10:13But I'm not about to go tromping through the swamp looking for an overgrown gator.
00:10:17Sawyer wasn't killed by an alligator.
00:10:20Is that so?
00:10:21Did you hear that, Morton?
00:10:22Game Warden Benton says there wasn't a gator who killed Lem.
00:10:26Well, Lem, what was it?
00:10:27You know so much. Go on, tell me. What killed him?
00:10:30Doc Grayson said the wounds were the kind of squid or a large octopus might cause.
00:10:35Oh, sure. And did Grayson explain how a saltwater creature happened to be 30 miles inland living in clear water?
00:10:41Stranger things have happened. I know that...
00:10:43Look here, Benton. You work for the state.
00:10:45Now, why don't you keep your nose out of county business? Is that clear enough for you?
00:10:52Oh, go soak your fat head.
00:10:57What was that you said?
00:10:59I said go soak your fat head.
00:11:00Oh, that boy's looking for bad trouble.
00:11:10And he's sure going to get it.
00:11:12You can bet on that.
00:11:14So you see, the octopi uses its suction discs to hold its prey.
00:11:27Now, in itself, the disc will not inflict a wound.
00:11:30Same is true of the squid.
00:11:31Now, both creatures have a parrot-like beak as their primary offensive and defensive weapon.
00:11:36Well, maybe the sheriff was right, Dad.
00:11:38Could be a freak or a malformed alligator.
00:11:44No.
00:11:45No, I'm afraid it wasn't.
00:11:48Well, where does that leave us, Doc?
00:11:50I wish I knew.
00:11:52You know, I'm beginning to think Lem was telling the truth in Walker's store.
00:11:57He did see something that night.
00:11:59Something that had intelligence enough to seek him out and destroy him later.
00:12:03But Sawyer claims to have killed the thing he saw.
00:12:05Put a half a dozen rifle bullets into it.
00:12:08I've seen that old .44-40 he used.
00:12:10Nothing could live after being hit with those slugs.
00:12:13Well, concede the possibility of one such creature.
00:12:18We must also concede the possibility of others.
00:12:22Now, there's one sure way of finding out.
00:12:25Go in and search every backwater, channel, and wet spot in the swamp.
00:12:29If it's there, I'll find it.
00:12:32Now, let's go.
00:12:34Here you go.

00:15:51I'm asking you for the last time, Dave Walker.
00:16:02You asking me, you dirty old man?
00:16:06I ain't dirty, Liz, baby.
00:16:08Liz, baby.
00:16:10Liz, honey.
00:16:12Can't you think of anything else to say, stupid?
00:16:14I gotta get this order over to Miss Chauvey.
00:16:16She's one of my better customers.
00:16:18Can't keep her waiting.
00:16:22I love you, Liz, baby.
00:16:25Get out.
00:16:27Get out, you fat pig!
00:16:45You, um, have some trouble, Dave?
00:16:49You don't live in, Cal.
00:16:50Well, gotta get the hair down every now and then.
00:16:54You sure don't know an awful lot about females.
00:16:57I gotta hand it to you.
00:16:59I can't stand here, John, Cal.
00:17:02Gotta get this order over to Miss Chauvey.
00:17:05What's she letting her hair down about this time?
00:17:08Well, ever since Lynn got herself killed, she wants me to sell out and move into town.
00:17:15Don't you let her bamboozle you, Dave.
00:17:17You keep her right here in the store.
00:17:21After all, the place wouldn't be seen without you around.
00:17:25Thanks, Cal.
00:17:26I better get going.
00:17:27See when I get back.
00:17:29Yeah, I'll be around.
00:17:30Liz, baby.
00:17:50It's Cal, honey.
00:17:51You want something, Cal?
00:18:07I sure do, honey.
00:18:08All right.
00:18:25Quiet.
00:18:27Oh, I'm dead.
00:18:29Me, too.
00:18:31Come on over here.
00:18:32Well, it seems kind of silly knocking ourselves out looking for something we aren't even sure exists.
00:18:47What do you mean?
00:18:49You know, we've covered miles of back channel and haven't come across anything to support your father's theory of an alien creature.
00:18:57Not so much as a mud print we couldn't identify.
00:18:59I know.
00:19:04You're not going to give up, are you, Steve?
00:19:06Well, I can't waste any more time on a wild goose chase.
00:19:12With all respect to your father's ideas.
00:19:17Dad seems so sure.
00:19:19Dad seems so severe.
00:19:34Dad seems so severe as well.
00:19:37I can't waste any more time.
00:19:37I can't waste any more time.
00:19:38I can't waste any more time on a wild goose chase.
00:19:46Yes, some woman, Liz.
00:20:02I reckon I'd have met a woman like you before.
00:20:07You really like me, Cal?
00:20:11You're kidding.
00:20:13No, I didn't hurt you now, did I?
00:20:16Oh, it's just so strong.
00:20:21I like him, and it's strong.
00:20:24Well, you sure picked a doozy, then, man, Dave.
00:20:30I don't think he's got a muscle in him, just a big piece of flab.
00:20:36Oh, honey, I didn't mean anything against you.
00:20:41Just that I can't see a real woman like you
00:20:44tying him with a tub of lard like him.
00:20:50You wouldn't understand, Cal.
00:20:53You know, I've wanted to tell you.
00:20:59You just wouldn't understand.
00:21:01You try me.
00:21:03Come on, you tell Cal all about it.
00:21:05You wouldn't think that out of me.
00:21:14Crazy.
00:21:17He'd tell me you killed your pa and your ma
00:21:19and your whole family.
00:21:21I fight to protect you.
00:21:23You wouldn't think he'll get inside me.
00:21:40Well, you're not waiting for me to give
00:21:41the city back to you.
00:21:42Let's go to Cal Cal.
00:21:44Cool.
00:21:45You're not.
00:21:48You're not.
00:21:49I'm tired.
00:21:50You're not.
00:21:50You're not.
00:21:51First husband was a no good bum. Couldn't keep a job more than a week. Used to get lushed up, come home beat up on me.
00:22:16Must have been a prize pig. One night he tried to hold up a gas station. He was so drunk he couldn't even run. He caught him less than a mile away. Got sent up. I got a divorce.
00:22:37That's rough. After three years working in a lousy bino, I was ready for the first guy to said a nice word to me.
00:22:45It's Dave. That's it. I wish it had been me. I don't know how to take care of a woman like you, Liz.
00:22:55Maybe they're too late, Cal.
00:23:07You're wrong, woman. It's too late for the both of you. Get up. Get up.
00:23:17Now look, Dave, I know what you're thinking, but...
00:23:20I got double large shot in this here thing. You got two seconds before I pull the trigger.
00:23:27No point getting riled, Dave. It wasn't my fault, but she's been testing me for months to take her out.
00:23:38Sure, Cal. I understand. Get her up so I can get a better look at the line, little tramp.
00:23:45Come on. Get up. Come on. Get up.
00:23:50No, Cal. No. He killed me. He killed me.
00:23:53Jump him.
00:23:54Well, your husband wants to take a look at you.
00:24:01You walk all the way, Dave?
00:24:03One more step and I'll blow your plumbing, too.
00:24:06Get over there!
00:24:08Now... Now, Dave, it ain't as bad as you think.
00:24:11Shut up!
00:24:13Triample.
00:24:15What are you gonna do?
00:24:16You'll find out soon enough.
00:24:20Dave, you put down that gun before I get mad and make you eat it!
00:24:24You go ahead and try it, Cal.
00:24:26Go right ahead and try it.
00:24:29Move! Move!
00:24:36Move. Move. You're right.
00:24:38Come on.
00:24:39Move!
00:24:40You're right.
00:24:41Move.
00:24:42Go right now.
00:24:44Anybody cannot make her face?
00:24:45Come on.
00:24:47Leave it open.
00:24:52Move!
00:24:53Move!
00:24:55Move!
00:24:57Move!
00:24:59To the sky.
00:25:02Find her!
00:25:04Come on, come on, I can't go hardly for that, no, come on, no, come on, no, come on.
00:25:34Come on, run, run till you drop.
00:26:04You keep going with like a fool child.
00:26:19I can't go on, I can't.
00:26:25Come on, keep going.
00:26:53Dave, please, you gotta listen.
00:26:56It wasn't my fault, Honest.
00:26:58She kept playing up to me every time you turned your back.
00:27:01It wasn't my fault.
00:27:02You call yourself a man.
00:27:05You and your muscles.
00:27:07Shut up, you trap.
00:27:09If it wasn't you, I wouldn't be in this fix.
00:27:12And my old friend Dave wouldn't be doing this thing to me.
00:27:15It's all your fault.
00:27:18Get going.
00:27:19But Dave, we've been friends a long time, Dave.
00:27:24You wouldn't, you wouldn't kill an old friend, Dave.
00:27:27If you don't move, I'll kill you where you stand.
00:27:30But Dave!
00:27:33You pray, big man.
00:27:39I didn't mean it, Dave.
00:27:42Dave, I didn't mean it.
00:27:44Dave, the kid is out of here.
00:27:50Please, Dave.
00:27:53I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:27:56Please.
00:28:00I'm sorry, honey.
00:28:02I'm sorry, Dave.
00:28:04I'm sorry.
00:28:05I didn't mean it.
00:28:06Please.
00:28:07I'm sorry.
00:28:09You think you'll learn enough to stay away from a woman, Carol?
00:28:17Oh, oh, anything, Dave.
00:28:19I'm moving to the end.
00:28:21I'm a little out of the county.
00:28:22I'll do anything you say, Dave.
00:28:24Anything.
00:28:26All right.
00:28:27Come on out of there.
00:28:30Oh, Dave.
00:28:31Dave, give me a hand.
00:28:33Oh, how'd you go?
00:28:34Oh, Dave.
00:28:36Oh, my God.
00:28:39Look, look.
00:28:41Behind you.
00:28:43There ain't nothing down here, Sheriff.
00:29:03Well, I'm getting tired of this.
00:29:06Come on in, boys.
00:29:12Well, if there was any bodies out there, we'd have found them.
00:29:16I want some straight answers, Walker.
00:29:19And don't give me any more of that crud about monsters, either.
00:29:23Where'd you hide them after you killed them?
00:29:27I told you the truth, Sheriff.
00:29:29I didn't kill them.
00:29:30I just wanted to scare them good.
00:29:36I loved my Liz.
00:29:39I wouldn't do anything to hide her.
00:29:42I loved her.
00:29:44Sure.
00:29:45You loved her.
00:29:47That's why you chased her through the swamp with a shotgun.
00:29:51Come on, Walker.
00:29:52Where'd you hide the bodies?
00:29:55Won't you believe me?
00:29:56There were some monsters.
00:29:58They...
00:29:58Take him out of here before I lose my temper.
00:30:00Oh, my God.
00:30:02Oh, my God.
00:30:05Oh, my God.
00:30:09County pay a reward if someone finds a body share.
00:30:14Fifty dollars.
00:30:17Each?
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:20You know, I never thought that of old Dave.
00:30:28Of course, ever they knowed that Cal and Liz had a hankering for each other.
00:30:31Everybody but old Dave.
00:30:34Dern fools.
00:30:36Grappling out there in the middle of the water.
00:30:39If them bodies are still in there,
00:30:41you can bet some old bull gator's got them stuffed in his cave under the bank,
00:30:47letting them ripen up for a few days.
00:30:49Yeah, well,
00:30:52what we need now is some long cypress poles to go in there and probe them gator caves.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:31:12I'm sorry, Doc.
00:31:13I can't do it.
00:31:15I'll have to do it myself.
00:31:17Wouldn't want to have to arrest you, Doc, but I will.
00:31:19If I find you near the preserve with any explosives.
00:31:21Steve.
00:31:22Sorry, Nan.
00:31:23That's the way it's got to be.
00:31:25Steve's right, Nan.
00:31:26It's his job to protect wildlife.
00:31:28What about human life?
00:31:31Three people have been killed in that game preserve.
00:31:33Doesn't that mean anything to you?
00:31:35Nan, try to understand.
00:31:36Nan, if I could be sure something in the swamp was responsible for those deaths,
00:31:40I wouldn't hesitate a minute.
00:31:42We've been together the last three days.
00:31:45We didn't see a trace of anything unusual.
00:31:47Not so much as a suggestion of any form of life unknown to us.
00:31:51Steve?
00:31:53Something killed those people.
00:31:54All right.
00:31:55I'll admit Sawyer's death left a lot of questions unanswered.
00:31:58But you can bet your bottom dollar the other two died from Dave Walker's shotgun.
00:32:02Do you really believe that?
00:32:03Figure it out, Nan.
00:32:05Walker admitted chasing his wife and cow into the swamps after he found them together.
00:32:09He shot them and he tried to place the blame on Sawyer's DTs.
00:32:13If Sawyer had told us seeing a purple giraffe with polka dot tails,
00:32:17Walker would have claimed they did it.
00:32:18There's one argument against that, Steve.
00:32:21Dave Walker wasn't the kind of a man to hang himself,
00:32:23not even with two murder charges against him.
00:32:26I talked with Dave less than an hour before he killed himself.
00:32:29That man was in a state of shock.
00:32:31I've seen frightened men before, terrified men.
00:32:34But I've never seen anything to compare with the horror and the fear in Walker's eyes.
00:32:38Well, he realized what he'd done and he'd killed two people.
00:32:41One his wife.
00:32:43Oh, look, Doc.
00:32:43Nan and I were all over that swamp.
00:32:45Now, why didn't these monsters attack us?
00:32:48I've been thinking about that.
00:32:50They're probably night creatures.
00:32:51They can't stand the light.
00:32:52They stay down near the bottom during the day.
00:32:55A small charge would stun them, bring them to the surface.
00:32:59Can't buy it, Doc.
00:33:01You're pig-headed, Steve Benton.
00:33:04Stubborn and pig-headed.
00:33:06You just don't understand, do you?
00:33:08Good night, Doc.
00:33:17Good night, Doc.
00:33:17Good night, Doc.
00:33:26Right over there in them reeds.
00:33:56Right over there in them reeds is where that digging used to be.
00:34:26Yeah.
00:34:27There's a big catfish in that hole.
00:34:33Boy, this is sure a hot one.
00:34:50This is sure a hot one.
00:34:57Right unseasonable.
00:34:59Sure is funny.
00:35:01Huh?
00:35:02Ain't you noticed anything?
00:35:05About what?
00:35:06We've been prodding around till the morning.
00:35:09Ain't run across a single gator.
00:35:12By rights, this pool should be crawling with him.
00:35:17Sure funny.
00:35:18Yeah, that is funny.
00:35:20I don't like the looks of things.
00:35:22Let's call it a day.
00:35:24Well, now, wait a minute.
00:35:25We ain't pulled the gator holes around the bin yet.
00:35:27You do what you want to do, boy.
00:35:29Just get me on dry land.
00:35:30And right quick.
00:35:31All right.
00:35:32Now, ain't no use getting all head up.
00:35:34Let's go.
00:35:35We got a quick drink in that moonshine.
00:35:42Yeah.
00:35:43That's why this is wrinkled and ugly.
00:35:46All the way out here, wild goose chasing.
00:35:52Now, it looks chased.
00:36:00Ah!
00:36:22Let's go.
00:36:52Let's go!
00:37:22We've been calling, but there's been no answer.
00:37:43Oh, I just got back.
00:37:44What seems to be the trouble?
00:37:45Well, haven't you heard?
00:37:47Old Sam Peters and Porty Reed have disappeared.
00:37:50Come on inside.
00:37:52You know, Covis, nothing would please him more than to have all the swamp people disappear.
00:38:03Swamp trash, he calls them.
00:38:05I know.
00:38:06They have about as much regard for him as he has for them.
00:38:10When they're worried enough to go to him, you know something's wrong.
00:38:15Mrs. Reed said the men went searching for Cal and Mrs. Walker's bodies, and they never returned.
00:38:20Covis says he'll get up a search party if they don't show up in a couple of days.
00:38:25Doc, you and Ann take your car and get as many volunteers as you can.
00:38:29Tell them to meet me at the old wagon road.
00:38:32I'll call Doak Evans and have him bring his dogs.
00:38:35Either they're lost or they've had an accident.
00:38:38I hope to heaven you're right.
00:38:39I'll check for you guys.
00:38:40Good night.
00:38:42Either they're alone.
00:38:57You or anybody?
00:39:02First of all...
00:39:04THE END
00:39:34THE END
00:40:04Well, they picked up the scent anyway.
00:40:06Ted, do you think they'll find them?
00:40:10Only the good Lord can answer that.
00:40:12Well, at least we know they got this far.
00:40:31All right, let's spit up into two parties and circle the lake.
00:40:35Keep your eyes open.
00:40:37Let's move out.
00:40:38Let's move out.
00:41:08All clear.
00:41:22It's clear over here.
00:41:27Let's go.
00:41:28Let's go.
00:41:29Let's go.
00:41:32Let's go.
00:41:33Let's go.
00:41:34Let's go.
00:41:35Let's go.
00:41:36Let's go.
00:41:37Let's go.
00:41:38Let's go.
00:41:39Let's go.
00:41:40Let's go.
00:41:41Let's go.
00:41:42Let's go.
00:41:43Let's go.
00:41:44Let's go.
00:41:45Let's go.
00:41:46Let's go.
00:41:47Let's go.
00:41:48Let's go.
00:41:49Let's go.
00:41:50Let's go.
00:41:51Let's go.
00:41:52Let's go.
00:41:53Let's go.
00:41:54Let's go.
00:41:55Let's go.
00:41:56Let's go.
00:41:57Let's go.
00:41:58All right.
00:42:00Let's go.
00:42:03Let's go.
00:42:04Let's go.
00:42:05Let's go.
00:42:07Let's go.
00:42:09All right, let's keep moving.
00:42:34Well, we can't do anything more tonight.
00:42:35Might as well start back.
00:42:36I reckon it ain't no use hurrying now, Mr. Benton.
00:42:39Reed and old Sam was alive.
00:42:42They let us know him with a holler or something.
00:42:44Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
00:42:47You fellas notice anything about this lake?
00:42:49I mean, the gators.
00:42:50What about them?
00:42:51They ain't.
00:42:52A piece of water this size usually has maybe 50, 60 big ones around.
00:42:57A whole lot of little ones.
00:42:59It's real unnatural.
00:43:01Well, maybe our torches scared them away.
00:43:03Nothing scares gators.
00:43:04It's nothing.
00:43:06Animal or human.
00:43:07Well, we might as well get out of here.
00:43:11You got something in mind, Steve?
00:43:24I keep thinking what Evan said about the gators.
00:43:28Nothing scares them, animal or human.
00:43:31And yet something made them leave.
00:43:33Maybe a...
00:43:33Maybe a mineral contamination.
00:43:36I guess I better run some water samples.
00:43:37Come on, you two.
00:43:39Drink your coffee.
00:43:42And supposing there is no contamination?
00:43:45Well, then I'll send over to Eastport for a diving rig and go down to look for this monster of yours.
00:43:50No, Steve.
00:43:50Don't even joke like that.
00:43:52I'm not joking, man.
00:43:54I had some training with an aqualung while I was in the Navy.
00:43:56But, Steve.
00:43:57Look, there are two bodies we know for sure down there.
00:44:00Maybe four.
00:44:01They've got to be brought up.
00:44:02Wait a minute.
00:44:04There are no alligators in that part of the swamp, right?
00:44:06So?
00:44:07No sign of any fish or snakes?
00:44:10No.
00:44:11Well, what are you getting at, Doc?
00:44:12Well, that goes your argument about setting off a dynamite charge underwater.
00:44:17You'd bring the bodies to the surface.
00:44:19Get it out of your mind, Doc.
00:44:21I'm not using any explosives as long as there's another way.
00:44:24Why must you be such a...
00:44:25Stubborn pig head?
00:44:27Exactly.
00:44:28I'll tell you why.
00:44:30Number one, there's bound to be some Aquarian life in that section,
00:44:32even if the bigger forms have abandoned it.
00:44:36Explosion underwater would destroy every living thing
00:44:38and wreck what nature took years to build up.
00:44:40Number two, I'm paid to prevent the useless slaughter of wildlife.
00:44:45Number three, I'd have to get authorization.
00:44:48To get that authorization, I'd have to come up with a heck of a good reason.
00:44:52Satisfied?
00:44:55Finish up, Dad.
00:44:56I want to go home.
00:44:58Uh, Steve, uh...
00:45:00How long would it take to get this diving equipment from East Park?
00:45:03Hmm, a couple of days.
00:45:05Why?
00:45:06Oh, nothing.
00:45:10Take care of yourself, Steve.
00:45:20Well, here's hoping.
00:45:21Dad.
00:45:23Can't you throw the dynamite in from here?
00:45:25No, I want to get it out into the middle.
00:45:27In the deepest part.
00:45:34All right.
00:45:35I want to get it out of here.
00:45:59Ah!
00:46:00Oh!
00:46:00Oh!
00:46:00Oh!
00:46:01Ah!
00:46:02Stop!
00:46:02Go, go, go, go!
00:46:32Let's go any minute.
00:47:02Let's go.
00:47:32I just can't figure it out.
00:47:56Walker's wife, why didn't her body come to the surface?
00:47:59I don't know.
00:48:03I think I'd better walk over to the coroner's office.
00:48:06What's the matter, Mr. Benton?
00:48:08Do you feel awkward about arresting my father in his own home?
00:48:11I warned him I'd arrest him if he used dynamite.
00:48:14That's nice of you.
00:48:15Well, the autopsy should be over by now.
00:48:22Oh, Steve.
00:48:24I thought you'd be here.
00:48:26I don't like to have to do this, Doctor.
00:48:29Do we have time for a cup of coffee first?
00:48:32Sure.
00:48:33Do you mind, honey?
00:48:34No, I'll make some sandwiches.
00:48:47One thing is certain, for all the good it'll do now.
00:48:51Dave Walker didn't shoot Cal.
00:48:53I just come from the autopsies.
00:48:58Covers tried to keep me out.
00:49:00I told him I'd raise a stink they'd smell all the way to the Capitol if he did.
00:49:04Well, what killed them, Doc?
00:49:06Not drowning.
00:49:08And Cal wasn't shot, either.
00:49:09Every drop of blood was drained out of their bodies.
00:49:15And they had wounds on their throats.
00:49:17Suction wounds.
00:49:19Like a gigantic leech might make.
00:49:23And there's something even more incredible.
00:49:25Now, Cal was supposed to have been killed several days ago.
00:49:29Sam and Reed had been missing a matter of 48 hours.
00:49:32All three of them, as far as we know, were in that lake a minimum of two days.
00:49:37Now, I'd state my reputation as a doctor.
00:49:40That Cal hadn't been dead more than two or three hours when we found him.
00:49:44And the other two less than that.
00:49:46First stage rigor mortis started in during the autopsy.
00:49:49But how could that be, Doc?
00:49:50It's impossible.
00:49:52The coroner will confirm it.
00:49:54Whatever killed him is still in that lake.
00:49:56And it's going to take more than dynamite to get it out.
00:50:01Concussion from those charges would have killed a full-grown whale.
00:50:06That explains how Cal and the others lived after they were supposed to be drowned.
00:50:11What do you mean?
00:50:13Well, this whole region is riddled by caves and caverns cut out by the ocean thousands of years ago.
00:50:18If there are caves above the water, then there must be caves under the water.
00:50:22Go on.
00:50:24Mike and I had a chance to pull around with some frogman equipment captured from the Italian Navy.
00:50:28We sort of prowled through a sunken transport off Salerno.
00:50:34When the ship went down, it trapped some air inside the hull.
00:50:38We'd go down, come up inside the officer's lounge, take off her face mask,
00:50:42and sort of sample some of the bottles floating around.
00:50:46We'd drive the guys crazy trying to figure out how we were getting the stuff.
00:50:48You mean you think that there's an air pocket or a cave underneath the lake?
00:50:54Right, got to be.
00:50:55How else could those people have lived down there?
00:50:57Not only that explains how whatever it is down there lived through the concussions.
00:51:01Steve.
00:51:04Liz Walker.
00:51:06She might still be down there.
00:51:10Alive.
00:51:10No, no, no!
00:51:29No!
00:51:29No!
00:51:40No, no, no.
00:52:10You sure you don't want me to go out for you, Mike?
00:52:12You haven't had one of these things on for a long time,
00:52:14while for me, every other day, I've been playing fish.
00:52:18Not this time, Mike.
00:52:21If you ask me, they ought to have their heads examined.
00:52:24Giant leeches.
00:52:27I'm willing to bet a month's pay
00:52:29they don't come up with nothing more than excuses.
00:52:32He's crazy.
00:52:33Him, the doc, and his brat, too.
00:52:36Just wait till I get on the phone at the Capitol.
00:52:39I'll guarantee somebody will wish
00:52:41they'd kept their nose out of other people's business.
00:52:44I'll guarantee that.
00:52:49Let's go, Mike.
00:52:53Steve!
00:52:56Be careful, please.
00:52:58Don't worry, Mike will be ready if anything goes wrong.
00:53:00Don't worry about Steve.
00:53:01Now, if you were going after Barracuda,
00:53:03you might have a tiny bit to worry about.
00:53:06Ready, Mike?
00:53:09Let's go, Mike.
00:53:11Let's go, Mike.
00:53:12Let's go, Mike.
00:53:13Let's go, Mike.
00:53:14Let's go, Mike.
00:53:15Let's go, Mike.
00:53:16Let's go, Mike.
00:53:17Let's go, Mike.
00:53:18Let's go, Mike.
00:53:19Let's go, Mike.
00:53:20Let's go, Mike.
00:53:21Let's go, Mike.
00:53:22Let's go, Mike.
00:53:23Let's go, Mike.
00:53:24Let's go, Mike.
00:53:25Let's go, Mike.
00:53:26Let's go, Mike.
00:53:27Let's go, Mike.
00:53:28Let's go, Mike.
00:53:29Let's go, Mike.
00:53:30Let's go.
00:53:31Let's go, Mike.
00:53:32Let's go, Mike.
00:53:33Let's go, Mike.
00:53:34Oh, no, no, please stay away, please, please, it's not exactly inviting, is it?
00:54:02That sure isn't. Oversteady, Mike.
00:54:07It'll stop anything up to a tiger shark, but you've got to hit, and this is don't count.
00:54:32If anything goes wrong, just yank on the line, and I'll be down in a hurry.
00:54:36Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:54:41Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:55:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:55:41You sure you don't want me to go down and finish it off for you, Steve?
00:56:11No, thanks, Mike. I think I hurt her pretty bad.
00:56:15Careful now. Anything that hurts ten times is dangerous.
00:56:23He's wounded it! He's going to finish it off!
00:56:27Does he have to go under again?
00:56:29He's got to make sure, honey.
00:56:33Where could it have come from?
00:56:35I wish I knew.
00:56:37We'll have to make some tests.
00:56:39Maybe the proximity of Cape Canaveral's got something to do with it.
00:56:42The rocket station?
00:56:44Well, they use atomic energy in their first stages of launching.
00:56:47Not all of them have been successful.
00:56:49You think that if some animal life was close by, not close enough to be killed,
00:56:53but close enough to feel the effects of a radioactive energy that's...
00:56:56a mutation, a type of gigantism of some common animal.
00:57:02Whatever it is, I hope he's able to bring it up.
00:57:05Whether it is, Peter Liesle is also at risk of getting the
00:57:33Oh, my God.
00:58:03That can't be Liz.
00:58:12What could have done that?
00:58:15Look at her face.
00:58:33Look at her face.
00:59:03Look at her face.
00:59:33Look at that thing.
00:59:45I've been around here for years.
00:59:46I never saw nothing like that.
00:59:47I never saw nothing like that.
01:00:01I never saw nothing like that.
01:00:14I never saw nothing like that.
01:00:19I never saw nothing like that.
01:00:23I never saw anything like that.
01:00:28There was no sign of them this time.
