00:00:00Those who hunt by night will tell you that the wildest and most vicious of all animals
00:00:10is the tiny shrew.
00:00:12The shrew feeds only by the dark of the moon.
00:00:17He must eat his own body weight every few hours or starve.
00:00:22And the shrew devours everything, bones, flesh, marrow, everything.
00:00:31In March, first in Alaska and then invading steadily southward,
00:00:38there were reports of a new species, the giant killer shrew.

00:01:44THE END
00:01:48Show, there's a lot of quiet out there.
00:01:51Almost smell it, can't you?
00:01:54No, but I can feel it.
00:01:56That pressure's dropped so fast, it's almost made my ears pop.
00:02:01The hurricane's got different ways of telling you it's there.
00:02:05Where is it?
00:02:07Dead ahead.
00:02:10What's that mean to us?
00:02:12Now, boy, that puts our port right in the middle of it.
00:02:19There's a cove on the lee side, though.
00:02:20We'll snuggle up close to the bluff and ride it out.
00:02:23What about the bottom?
00:02:24Well, the chart shows it's good holding ground. It's clay.
00:02:30You know something?
00:02:32If this thing had an automatic pilot, I wouldn't have to put up with you.
00:02:35Then you wouldn't have nobody to chew out.
00:02:39We should be there in a couple of hours.
00:02:41These mills of yours keep running.
00:02:43Look, automatic pilots can't play Dixieland jazz on them engines like I can.
00:02:48Hey, Rook.
00:03:00Rook, come here.
00:03:03Take a look.
00:03:06There she is, dead ahead.
00:03:07Man, that sure do look good.
00:03:16A man named Craggers owns this island, doesn't he?
00:03:19That's the name on the crate, Dr. Milo Craggers.
00:03:21We'll unload tomorrow.
00:03:23I don't want this crap sitting high in that water when that blow hits.
00:03:25You're going to ride stern, too, with a lot of water under?
00:03:28That's right.
00:03:29That sea won't make up in that cold.
00:03:31That wind will have her whipping around like a kite.
00:03:34Step forward and break out the heavy weather hook.
00:03:36The track will make sure it's free to run.
00:03:38I'll mount the shot.
00:03:39Good.
00:03:39Good.
00:03:40Good.
00:03:41Good.
00:03:50Good.
00:03:50Good.
00:03:51I don't know.
00:04:21If she swings too far to starboard, we might have to take a check line to shore.
00:04:26Hey, Rook, take a slant up that trail.
00:04:31Now, that's a rather strange setup, wouldn't you say?
00:04:35Looks like somebody's getting rid of somebody, huh, Captain?
00:04:39Maybe. Hard to tell.
00:04:51I'm Dr. Craig.
00:05:00Thorne Sherman. I have your supplies aboard.
00:05:03That's good. Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson, I hope.
00:05:06Well, I wouldn't know. I just bought his run.
00:05:10Oh, I see. Were you able to fill our order?
00:05:14Everything on the list. Here's the manifest.
00:05:17Missing last week's supply has drawn us a little short, you know.
00:05:21Captain, after you have unloaded, I have a passenger for you.
00:05:25Anne?
00:05:26Captain Sherman, this is my daughter, Anne Craig.
00:05:29Hello. So you're the passenger?
00:05:33That's right, Captain.
00:05:35Oh, it's going to be nice having you aboard.
00:05:38I'm getting a little tired looking at Griswold.
00:05:40But we're, uh, we're not leaving today.
00:05:42In fact, we're not even unloading.
00:05:51That load will cut the roll in half.
00:05:55You expecting an invasion?
00:05:58Yes, animals.
00:06:00Game or otherwise?
00:06:02There are certain conditions that could be dangerous.
00:06:09Hey, Rook.
00:06:10You want to shake the kinks out?
00:06:11Limber up a little?
00:06:13Not me, Captain Blythe.
00:06:14You go right ahead and stretch your legs.
00:06:16That ship's going to be bugging like a bug in Bronx for long.
00:06:18Besides, I got some work left to do.
00:06:21If you do come ashore, wear a gun.
00:06:24Got you, Captain.
00:06:42When I told you about the hurricane, you act like you didn't know anything about it.
00:06:58What's the matter?
00:07:00You're set broken down?
00:07:01You've been out of communication for more than a week, Captain.
00:07:05Can't be fixed.
00:07:06Totally out of commission.
00:07:09My assistant.
00:07:11Mr. Ferrell.
00:07:12Jerry Ferrell.
00:07:13Father, perhaps the captain would enjoy a drink.
00:07:24Well, of course.
00:07:27Will you join us in a cocktail?
00:07:28Well, I've never been known to turn down a drink yet.
00:07:31I'll be glad to accept.
00:07:33Fine.
00:07:34In that case, we'll have martinis.
00:07:36Mario.
00:07:37Si, senor.
00:07:39Mix them, please.
00:07:44Right this way, Captain.
00:07:46Come in.
00:07:46Do you have everything here you need?
00:08:09We are self-sufficient here.
00:08:12We have cows for fresh milk and chickens for fresh eggs.
00:08:15We even have saddened horses.
00:08:18Sort of a world all your own.
00:08:19That's exactly what I've tried to create.
00:08:21Well, they each his own.
00:08:24If you have to be isolated for your work, you've picked a lonely little island.
00:08:29Excuse me, please.
00:08:30I think I'll change.
00:08:38She's a little worried because you aren't leaving until tomorrow.
00:08:42I can understand that.
00:08:44There's something else bothering her.
00:08:59Rathford.
00:09:01Rathford.
00:09:03Rathford, would you please step over here?
00:09:05I'd like you to meet someone.
00:09:06Just a second, Doctor.
00:09:09It's been going on for hours.
00:09:10Dr. Bain.
00:09:14There's no need to shop, Doctor.
00:09:15I'm right here.
00:09:16I'd like you to meet Captain Thorne Sherman.
00:09:19This is my other assistant, Rathford Bain.
00:09:21How do you do?
00:09:23Two new litters since lunch, Doctor.
00:09:25Both support GT-116.
00:09:27That's good, but...
00:09:29We can breed them to the 205 group in about three weeks.
00:09:32But I'd prefer to wait and expose about half of them to the Hoskins factor first.
00:09:37If you agree.
00:09:40Good idea.
00:09:42Do you know there's a hurricane coming?
00:09:45Very good.
00:09:45Well, I don't suppose there's much we can do about that.
00:09:52Glad to meet you.
00:09:53Sherman wasn't?
00:09:54You have to excuse, Rathford.
00:10:02Anything that does not concern his project does not get through to him.
00:10:06Brilliant mind.
00:10:08He would start at it if someone didn't remind him to eat.
00:10:10Must be very interesting work.
00:10:11What's his field?
00:10:13Biology.
00:10:14He specialized in genetics, heredity.
00:10:16I'm afraid my interest doesn't run in that line, you know.
00:10:19Think what would happen if he could isolate and identify the inherited fact on each gene.
00:10:24Now, wait a minute.
00:10:25I'm afraid I'm not very good with pure research.
00:10:28This is practical research.
00:10:31Generally, among mammals, the smaller the size, the higher the metabolism, and the shorter the lifespan.
00:10:36Is that right?
00:10:37Well, I'm attempting to decrease the size by maintaining a low metabolism, and resultant, a longer lifespan.
00:10:44What reason?
00:10:47Overpopulation.
00:10:49Not a problem now, but it will be in time.
00:10:54We were half as big as we are now.
00:10:59We could live twice as long in our natural resources.
00:11:04Father, may I speak with you a moment?
00:11:06Will you please excuse us, Captain?
00:11:09Well, providing you drop the Captain, I prefer to go in.
00:11:12Tell me something, Doctor.
00:11:28Has a hurricane ever hit this island before that you know of?
00:11:32I wouldn't know.
00:11:34You've only been here nine months, and this place has been unoccupied for years.
00:11:37Well, have you ever been through one?
00:11:38Only the fringes.
00:11:42Well, this one's building up very fast.
00:11:44Pressure drops very quickly in the center.
00:11:45I'd advise you to get some doors and windows open in this place.
00:11:52Ventilators on the roof.
00:11:54And if you'll freshen Anne's drink, I'll go and check them.
00:11:56I'd be happy to.
00:11:59Thank heavens, you arrived today.
00:12:02Why?
00:12:02Are rations getting short?
00:12:04No, it's more than that.
00:12:05Much more.
00:12:07We'll surely be able to sail tomorrow, won't we?
00:12:09Possibly.
00:12:11But not probable.
00:12:12Not too late, anyway.
00:12:14Takes a long time for a sea like that to quiet down.
00:12:17Well, if you're worrying about me, you need it.
00:12:19I'm a good sailor.
00:12:21Well, I'm not worried about you.
00:12:24We'll sail when the time's right.
00:12:25I've got them opened, all right.
00:12:28Well, Captain, let me freshen you a drink.
00:12:32One for the road.
00:12:34I'm trying to rush you, but it will be dark soon.
00:12:37I've invited Thorne for dinner, Father.
00:12:42Oh, I see.
00:12:45If you're not worried about your ship, you're welcome.
00:12:49I'll take a rainjack on that dinner, if you wish.
00:12:51Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.
00:12:55Progress, Doctor.
00:12:59This is the sole survivor of Group 30.
00:13:0328 months old today.
00:13:06Well, that's equivalent to 140 years to us.
00:13:09That's right.
00:13:10Yet it still maintains low metabolism without any sluggishness.
00:13:16Not the breakthrough, but it certainly sets our course.
00:13:21Ratfoot, suspend series 52 through 96.
00:13:26And we'll concentrate on the rest.
00:13:28What is that?
00:13:28It's a sorex soricity.
00:13:32Looks like a small rat.
00:13:34Smells like a skunk.
00:13:35They have musklans in their knees.
00:13:39These little fellows are our subjects.
00:13:42They have a birth cycle of 10 to 14 days.
00:13:45And using them, we can establish traits.
00:13:48We can trace the progressions through a number of generations over a short period of time.
00:13:53Well, how big do they get?
00:13:54That's an adult.
00:14:00See, their muzzle is longer and thicker than the rats.
00:14:04It extends over the lower mandible.
00:14:05See?
00:14:06Does he bite?
00:14:08Only when he's hungry.
00:14:09Well, maybe you better take him.
00:14:10He doesn't know me.
00:14:11All he knows is his next meal.
00:14:16He's just been fed.
00:14:18He'll be all right for another eight hours.
00:14:24The shutter blew open.
00:14:25Ratfoot.
00:14:26I got it, senor.
00:14:30Let that scare you.
00:14:31It's going to get worse.
00:14:33Storms always fratting her ever since she was a child.
00:14:35They're not climbers.
00:14:48They're digging animals.
00:14:50A lot like the moor.
00:14:52They feed only at night unless they're starving.
00:14:56And when they are hungry enough, they'll tackle anything regardless of size.
00:15:01Okay.
00:15:02If you leave two of them in a cage for 12 hours without food.
00:15:05The stronger will eat the weaker.
00:15:08Like cannibals.
00:15:09Precisely.
00:15:10You see, their intense activity requires a tremendous amount of energy.
00:15:16To supply, they must eat three times own weight in food every 24 hours or starve.
00:15:24Ratfoot.
00:15:25Ratfoot.
00:15:26Would you please take this?
00:15:28Take it.
00:15:29Yeah.
00:15:29Some call them bone eaters.
00:15:38When the flesh is gone, they'll eat the bones for marrow.
00:15:41All they'll leave are teeth, horns, hooves.
00:15:44I could use another martini.
00:15:46Do you mind?
00:15:47Of course, my dear.
00:15:48I'll get you one.
00:15:49Mario.
00:15:49Mario.
00:15:49Mario.
00:15:50Mario.
00:15:50Mario.
00:15:51Mario.
00:15:51Mario.
00:15:52Mario.
00:15:52Mario.
00:15:53Mario.
00:15:53Mario will show it to the bathroom, you'll freshen up a bit.
00:16:10I'll bring you to the bathroom.
00:16:13Yes, sir.
00:16:14Follow me, please.
00:16:15Okay.
00:16:15Here, sir.
00:16:32You got a problem, too?
00:16:56¿Qué paso?
00:16:57Nada.
00:16:58Nothing, señor.
00:17:00But you will live on the ship tomorrow.
00:17:02Well, I think that all depends on the wind and the sea, don't you?
00:17:06Sí.
00:17:07Sí, señor.
00:17:10Why, no.
00:17:11No.
00:17:13Ah, you're me joking.
00:17:15I feel the point.
00:17:16I see.
00:17:18Well, I'm glad to hear that.
00:17:20Now, if anybody else is concerned about my sailing tomorrow, why, you see, they feel the point,
00:17:24too, huh?
00:17:25I don't like to repeat myself.
00:17:27Okay, señor.
00:17:32I know.
00:17:49I know, but I'm not saying that you created them, Jerry.
00:18:04I am saying that because of your drunkest stupidity
00:18:07in leaving the cage door open,
00:18:09you created the horrible situation that now exists.
00:18:13Look, Ann, this is a mistake any one of us might have made.
00:18:15I'm getting a little sick of being called an irresponsible drunk.
00:18:21Now, believe me, I am.
00:18:27Excuse me.
00:18:40Care for a cigarette?
00:18:41Thanks.
00:18:42Thank heavens you arrived today.
00:18:44You said that before.
00:18:45What's the strain?
00:18:46I don't know if I'm sorry.
00:18:48Please excuse me.
00:18:49But it seems like everything is going to be headed wrong.
00:18:52I want to leave, but I want my father to go with me.
00:18:55Well, then, why doesn't he?
00:18:59We've discussed it many times, but he's adamant.
00:19:03I'm sure Jerry has a lot to do with this decision.
00:19:09He tried to convince me that the crisis will only last for a few...
00:19:13Well, this is certainly a cozy little scene.
00:19:23Might even be called intimate.
00:19:25Boy meets girl when all...
00:19:26Stop it, Jerry.
00:19:27That remark is uncalled for.
00:19:29What I do or have to say does not concern you.
00:19:31I can't disagree with you more, my dear.
00:19:34I'm concerned with everything you do, and I intend to keep it that way.
00:19:38Now, in my book, an engagement isn't a casual thing.
00:19:40In my book, it isn't either.
00:19:42And last night ended ours.
00:19:44I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you do, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with everything you, and I'm concerned with
00:20:14Oh, my God.
00:20:44Help! Help!
00:20:46Stop the car!
00:20:47Somebody help!
00:20:49Help! Stop the car!
00:20:58Be reasonable, and then everybody in the world is scared to death of something.
00:21:03That's evident.
00:21:04When they came at us last night, you knocked me down getting inside the fence.
00:21:07It's just that I can't stand them.
00:21:09And I've discovered something I can't stand.
00:21:13All right.
00:21:14But I advise you not to mention them to anyone.
00:21:17I'm going to complete these experiments with your father regardless of anything.
00:21:21Do you understand that?
00:21:22Nobody is going to take this chance away from me.
00:21:28That's Captain Sherman.
00:21:30Checking the weather. I'll get him.
00:21:36Captain, time for dinner.
00:21:37Stop!
00:21:46Somebody help!
00:21:48Help!
00:21:48Captain!
00:21:49Captain!
00:21:52Come on!
00:21:53Somebody help!
00:22:00Captain!
00:22:01Captain!
00:22:02Captain!
00:22:03Captain!
00:22:04Come on!
00:22:05No!
00:22:07No!
00:22:09No!
00:22:11No!
00:22:35Well, I miss as good as a mile, I'll wish, eh?
00:22:38You know, if one of those trees crashes through, it might just not...
00:22:41Look, any tree on this side of the house will fall away from it, so just relax.
00:22:45But I think I'd better go back aboard.
00:22:48I don't think I'm not grateful for your hospitality. I am.
00:22:51I'll see you tomorrow.
00:22:52Thorne, your ship is safe.
00:22:54Please, stay here with me.
00:22:57Why? You scared or lonesome?
00:23:00Both.
00:23:02I'll take a rain check on it.
00:23:04Thorne, you can't leave.
00:23:07No one opens that gate after dark.
00:23:10Well, who's gonna stop me? You?
00:23:13Well, this.
00:23:15No one opens that gate at night.
00:23:21Now, look, I don't ask questions because it's against my principles.
00:23:25Wouldn't you like to explain that?
00:23:28All right. Sit down and I will.
00:23:30Give me the gun.
00:23:32Not very becoming, anyway.
00:23:34Do you believe in fairy tales?
00:23:37Well, I'm a little old for that sort of thing, but what do you have in mind?
00:23:41Well, I'll tell you about one.
00:23:42A true fairy tale. And you're right in the middle of it.
00:23:46Oh?
00:23:47Have you ever heard of a shrew?
00:23:49As in taming of the...
00:23:50No, the animal.
00:23:51Bradford called them Saurits, Seresity, when he showed you one.
00:23:55Oh, then shrew must be the common name for those cute little animals.
00:23:58Cute?
00:23:59That's the last word you can use to describe those little monsters.
00:24:02They're the most horrible animals on the face of the earth.
00:24:05As father told you, they breed within three weeks after birth.
00:24:08They'll last them each round one year.
00:24:09Yeah, yeah. I know what your father told me, but what's that got to do with me opening that gate?
00:24:14There are two or three hundred giant shrews out there. Monsters weighing between fifty and a hundred pounds.
00:24:26Fifty to a hundred? Wait a minute, you must be kidding.
00:24:30I'm definitely not kidding.
00:24:34That's as big as a full-grown wolf.
00:24:36And what's more, they are beginning to starve.
00:24:39No wonder you didn't want me to go out there.
00:24:45Thanks for saving my skin.
00:24:47Well, I'm sorry I had to threaten you with a gun.
00:24:50But I didn't know how else to stop you.
00:24:52Well, it was very effective.
00:24:54But all you had to do was tell me about them.
00:24:57Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to.
00:24:59But you changed everything when you started to leave.
00:25:02And I had to stop you some way.
00:25:06You say there's two or three hundred out there?
00:25:08Ann!
00:25:15That's right, Captain Thorne.
00:25:17And if you'd stuck with your rowboat and played captain instead of trying to play detective,
00:25:21you wouldn't have to worry about how many are out there, would you?
00:25:24That's enough, Jerry.
00:25:31What's wrong, Ann?
00:25:32Thorne decided to leave.
00:25:34To dissuade him, I started to tell him about their shoes.
00:25:39You might as well know the whole story. It's half of it.
00:25:47I guess we're all a little jumpy, Captain.
00:25:49Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:25:50No, I'm sorry.
00:25:53Six months ago, we managed to isolate the pact of controlling size.
00:25:59Two leaders were born.
00:26:00Six individuals we kept to study.
00:26:03They were about the size of Buckshot at birth.
00:26:05But the rate of growth was abnormal.
00:26:11They continued to grow.
00:26:13They were mutants.
00:26:15But they inherited all the negative characteristics of their breed.
00:26:20Somehow they managed to escape.
00:26:22By the month later, we saw one of the offspring.
00:26:27They were multiplying.
00:26:29We did everything in the world to exterminate them, but...
00:26:33No apparent luck.
00:26:35Then we haven't seen any.
00:26:36Since daylight neither blinds them, and they forage only at night.
00:26:37Well, they're starving.
00:26:39But the fact that two of them charged Ann and Jerry at the gate last evening...
00:26:42Indicates that the available food on the island is nearing the pletion.
00:26:46Then what, Doctor?
00:26:48They will exterminate them.
00:26:50They will exterminate them, but no apparent luck.
00:26:52Then we haven't seen any.
00:26:53They'll take a couple days.
00:26:54Then what do we do during that time?
00:26:56Stay indoors and wait until it's over.
00:27:00Probably get some wires blew down on the transformer.
00:27:02I'm sorry.
00:27:04I'll get some land.
00:27:06I'll get some land.
00:27:07And get some land.
00:27:08And get some land.
00:27:10And get some land.
00:27:11I'm sorry.
00:27:13I'll get some land.
00:27:14You just have a wall.
00:27:16If I'm not going to die!
00:27:19on the transformer i'm sorry i'll get some lamps mario mario there's a lantern in the pantry
00:27:30light it and bring it in here bradford light all the candles you can find all right i will
00:27:37where's the generator outside can't get at it at night here let me help the lantern will give you
00:27:46all the light you need i will join you shortly jerry
00:28:02well jerry i felt she was sincere and made sense from her standpoint wanting her father to leave
00:28:10the island with her makes sense would be much better for the project if i went with her for
00:28:15a few days matter of fact i think i'll talk the doctor about that that might be the answer
00:28:23and another thing i don't take much to this thorn sherman he looks to me like the type that'd try
00:28:28anything that left-handed dinner invitation that was just to keep me here till after dark wasn't it
00:28:35i wanted you here tonight i thought something terrible was going to happen
00:28:47why you still feel the same way about it not as much not since you're here and know everything
00:29:01i love an open fire don't you
00:29:14the wind has a lonesome sound doesn't it sure does back in sweden we don't have a wind this strong
00:29:24you're a strange man thorn i never met anyone like you oh you seem so disinterested in everything
00:29:38aren't you the least bit curious don't you wonder about the unusual things around here
00:29:44the guns the fence the shattered windows my accent anything i'll tell you something
00:29:54i'm only interested in anything that concerns me then i do something about it
00:29:58you're going to sail with me tomorrow whether your father intends me in
00:30:04i don't think he was going out jerry i couldn't take a chance he's fool enough to don't be stupid
00:30:30i had no intentions of going out there opening that gate now somebody needed it did you hear it doctor
00:30:38it sounded like a human voice i was thinking a rook it was the livestock the shrews got into the bomb
00:30:44what was it father the livestock did mario forget to borrow those doors no
00:31:05i put them in the barn myself i couldn't get through the wood doors
00:31:09it dug through the dirt floor let me ask you something doctor how could you expose all our
00:31:16lives yourself included with those things out there all you had to do was get the coast guard
00:31:21or the navy to come in here and burn them out those things got loose any unusual experiment can produce
00:31:28unusual results that's why i chose this island it's isolated miles of open water in any direction
00:31:36our project is privately financed it's not a problem for the government or military the world is no danger
00:31:50his species does not swim and as far as the shrews are concerned this island is their world
00:31:58very soon right here on this island is going to be a miniature reproduction of an overpopulated world
00:32:06and you'll see the importance of what we're working to avoid i'm not concerned about all this theory
00:32:12what i'm concerned about is our lives there'll be ample time to panic when they run out of food and go on
00:32:17a 24-hour forage how do you know they haven't already that's possible their main diet has been the
00:32:24small animals on the island that source could have been depleted 18 or 20 hours ago
00:32:29and that's why they went after the livestock there's still some food on this island before they reach
00:32:36the crisis where
00:32:38no worry about them digging in here the floors are tile the walls aren't doctor they're adobe
00:32:50our safest bet would be on that boat you may be right you can reach your boat in daylight
00:32:57the shoes will gorge themselves on livestock that should keep the lethargy for several hours there's no
00:33:04sense looking at the dark side and there's no sense minimizing a serious situation
00:33:10leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it
00:33:12well we certainly can't make it tonight that's out of the question maybe tomorrow
00:33:21i haven't we'll get some sleep tonight but we'll have a watch an hour and a half a piece
00:33:26doctor you go first and then radford mario jerry and then me
00:33:31shutter all the windows make sure they're locked good and tight check all these walls
00:33:35doors come back no i think i'll stay here by the fire i feel safe i couldn't stand it in that room alone
00:33:46all right as you wish but try to get some sleep
00:34:05you
00:34:16you
00:34:18you
00:34:20you
00:34:22you
00:34:24you
00:34:26you
00:34:28you
00:34:30Pared, here is Mario. You are next to make the patrol, no?
00:34:34Yeah, sure, Mario. Come on in.
00:34:38I've been waiting for you to finish.
00:34:41I must have dozed off. You kind of startled me.
00:34:46Sit down.
00:34:48Here. Have a drink. It will help you to relax.
00:34:51Gracias, señor.
00:34:54Sit down.
00:34:57Just a while.
00:35:00You just checked every room in the house, didn't you?
00:35:03See?
00:35:04Fine.
00:35:06You're a good man, Mario.
00:35:09A man that can be trusted.
00:35:20You know what I've been thinking about, Mario?
00:35:24Ann and that captain, you and me.
00:35:33Imagine an intelligent girl like her going for a common sea tramp like him.
00:35:42I know why. You do, too.
00:35:48In case anything goes wrong, she's looking out for her own hide.
00:35:53That's why I keep thinking about you and me.
00:35:56anything goes wrong, we're going to outlast them all.
00:36:05I'm going to trust you to take my turn of patrolling the house.
00:36:14But when you finish, don't wait for the captain.
00:36:15Come back here and get me.
00:36:16I'll probably feel good enough by then to take his turn.
00:36:21Okay, Mario?
00:36:22Si.
00:36:23Okay.
00:36:24Okay.
00:36:25Okay.
00:36:26Okay.
00:36:27Okay, Mario?
00:36:28Si.
00:36:29Okay.
00:36:30Okay.
00:36:31Okay.
00:36:32Okay.
00:36:33Okay.
00:36:34Come back here and get me.
00:36:35Yeah, I'll probably feel good enough by then to take his turn.
00:36:39Okay, Mario?
00:36:40Si.
00:36:41Okay.
00:36:42Okay.
00:36:43Okay.
00:36:44Okay.
00:37:13Ta- clue.
00:37:14You can't believe it, one, two, three...
00:37:19Well, come back here.
00:37:36Goodbye.
00:37:40Add in,jay.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:42There is a big raton in the garden.
00:37:49A screw in the cellar?
00:37:51Yes, I hear him singing down there.
00:37:54Well, how did he get in?
00:37:56The store broke out the kitchen window, but I closed it up. He went down there.
00:38:00Why should he go down there?
00:38:02The food for the little ratones. I put it out to enfrost. They love it.
00:38:06Did you tell Jerry?
00:38:08No, sir. Here is your turn next.
00:38:10Here is your turn next. Here is Una Luz. We kill him, no?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:32Ann. Ann, wake up. A shrew got in.
00:38:36It's all right. He's down in the cellar.
00:38:38Now, we're going down after him.
00:38:40But I don't want you to let anybody open that door until I tell you to.
00:38:43You understand?
00:38:44Good girl.
00:38:46Good girl.
00:39:05Okay. Open it. Just a crack.
00:39:08Open.
00:39:11Hold on to it.
00:39:12Hold on to it.
00:39:13Okay.
00:39:14Okay.
00:39:15Okay.
00:39:39Take that side.
00:39:40I'll go to the side.
00:40:10I see where he was. I do not see where he is.
00:40:17Cuidado.
00:40:18Si, senor. I will be careful.
00:40:31I got him.
00:40:33And he also got me.
00:40:40You all right down there?
00:40:46Doctor, get down here, quick.
00:40:50You all right down there?
00:41:00Doctor, get down here, quick.
00:41:02You all right down there?
00:41:03Doctor, get down here, quick.
00:41:05.
00:41:17Oh, Marion!
00:41:19He's dead.
00:41:38I got this on him right away.
00:41:47He couldn't have blood to death.
00:41:49Might as well let go of it.
00:41:53Won't do him any good now.
00:41:56What could have killed him?
00:42:00I'm not certain.
00:42:03Till the autopsy.
00:42:06Hemotoxic syndrome.
00:42:08I'm afraid so.
00:42:11We'll know after pathology.
00:42:13Doctor, that's not the same animal you showed me.
00:42:17That's a monster.
00:42:19As I said.
00:42:21There are mutants.
00:42:23In controlling the size factor, we seem to have crossed some of the other characteristics.
00:42:28Well, you certainly did a good job of it.
00:42:31I've known that for some time, Captain.
00:42:38Would you please give me a hand that Mario, Bradford, bring up the animal?
00:42:45Extremely high poison content in the shrew's saliva.
00:42:52Now compare it with this.
00:42:53Careful count isn't necessary.
00:42:54Any indication of the same poison, Mario's blood will give you the answer.
00:42:55Yes, you're right.
00:42:56Look, Anne.
00:43:11careful count isn't necessary any indication the same poison mario's blood will give you the answer
00:43:19yes you're right look dan
00:43:27rooting about it's not going to do any good now why don't you try to think of something else
00:43:33tell me uh what do you do around here are are you a scientist
00:43:37a mesologist oh that's the study of animal life in it well do you specialize what do you specialize in
00:43:46they're dying i had a hand in this too and i'm partly to blame
00:43:52but this ends it we ever get off these islands i'll never have anything to do with it again
00:44:08what will you do
00:44:11as normally like normal women do you see it seem a little dull after the life i've been living
00:44:19rather dull and alive than excited and i'll take a dull alive woman every time
00:44:37say thorn
00:44:41the autopsy has proved what we suspected
00:44:44several weeks ago i concocted the most virulent poison i could with the materials i had at hand
00:44:52so we put it out as bait
00:44:56mario was killed by poison
00:44:59doctor i wonder if you thought the system of the sorex enabled them to assimilate that poison
00:45:05it remained in the salivary glands of their jaws isn't that wonderful
00:45:09i am sorry of course i always speak from the clinical point of view
00:45:17well don't you have something to counteract that poison
00:45:21once mario was bitten i'm afraid there's nothing anyone could have done
00:45:28this indicates that they cannot afford to get even so much as a scratch from these animals
00:45:32they're more poisonous than snakes what do you think they're all affected
00:45:38best way to find out is let them all bite you and see which bite you die after we might just all get
00:45:44that chance jerry you included doctor i've closed all the doors in the house i suggest we do the same
00:45:52thing with this hall and this lab cut down the chances of getting in the front of the house i think
00:45:57if we keep a close watch on those walls and windows in there we might make it till daybreak the walls
00:46:03are two feet thick do you think i have a chance to dig in of course there's a chance anywhere that
00:46:10plaster's off that adobe's as soft as mush where that rain hit it
00:46:27it's not a bad idea doctor but here's another possibility doctor it's very light out it's gonna be daylight soon
00:46:54we'll take the shrew that killed mario and throw it over the fence and use it for bait
00:47:01if they show up for it of course the run for the boats out if they don't then i'll go down and have
00:47:06rook lay two with a lighter then i'll return to the bend and the trail and give you the all clear signal
00:47:13sounds fine captain good then you explain it to the rest yes i will
00:47:24well the bait's been out for 20 minutes nothing's touched it
00:47:45even the wind has gone down isn't that wonderful
00:48:14i'm afraid it's not over my dear it's just a low there'll be a lot more he's right
00:48:21i'll be back at the bend shortly now you watch for my signal
00:48:24you can't go alone i'll go with him not you father you haven't even fired a gun
00:48:29take rather jerry sure i'll go
00:48:32then you'll be sure of getting the signal
00:48:44you
00:48:50you
00:48:52you
00:48:54you
00:48:58Don't shoot that gun unless you have to.
00:49:18We've only got 20 rounds altogether.
00:49:20I know that as well as you do.
00:49:26Sermon!
00:49:28You stay away from her.
00:49:31Do you have that gun pointed at me?
00:49:33Right at the middle of your back.
00:49:36Look, we've got enough problems without worrying about Ann.
00:49:39I'm telling you, stay away from her,
00:49:41or when the shrews get through with you,
00:49:42they won't even find a buckshot.
00:49:44Oh, no!
00:49:45Come on!
00:49:56Come on!
00:49:57Hey, look!
00:50:19Hey, look!
00:50:21Look!
00:50:27Where's this gift?
00:50:32I'll follow that check line.
00:50:34I gotta find him.
00:50:35Since last night, you won't find much of him.
00:50:38Will you shut up?
00:50:39I'm not going back.
00:50:41You're what?
00:50:42I'm staying here.
00:50:44All right.
00:50:45You suit yourself, but if I were you, I'd swim out to that boat.
00:50:50Can't swim.
00:50:51Then stay here.
00:50:53Wait a minute.
00:50:54You gotta give me a gun.
00:50:57Give you a gun.
00:51:02Chairman, wait!
00:51:03Wait!
00:51:03I'll see you next time.
00:51:08I'll see you next time.
00:51:10This is a gun we had on the boat.
00:51:39They don't leave much, do they?
00:51:51Sherman, we gotta make a deal for us.
00:51:57What is it?
00:51:57Shh!
00:51:59They've been training us on both sides.
00:52:01Where?
00:52:04I didn't see anything.
00:52:06Look, Sherman, you gotta give me a gun.
00:52:15Whatever you do, don't you run.
00:52:17You stay in front of me, because I don't trust you.
00:52:18They're coming!
00:52:40No!
00:52:41Open the gate!
00:52:43Open the gate!
00:52:45Open the gate!
00:52:47Open the gate!
00:52:49Hurry up!
00:52:51Open the gate!
00:52:57Open the gate!
00:52:59You can't let them in!
00:53:01Let them in!
00:53:03Jerry, open the door!
00:53:11Jerry!
00:53:13The shoes were out there!
00:53:15I couldn't take a chance!
00:53:17Jerry!
00:53:19The shoes were out there!
00:53:21I couldn't take a chance!
00:53:35Look at the back!
00:53:41Oh, what's up?
00:53:43Good!
00:53:51For heaven's sake!
00:53:53Doctor, stop them!
00:54:11All right, didn't he have it coming or didn't he?
00:54:41What happened out there?
00:54:43Oh, nothing much. Jerry just tried to kill me twice in the last five minutes.
00:54:51Brooke came ashore last night. He's dead.
00:55:00This saw was left. It won't do us any good. It's got no ammo.
00:55:11I'm deeply sorry, Captain. I wish I'd followed your orders.
00:55:23Look, Doctor, you casually mention animals. You didn't explain to us what we were facing out there.
00:55:29You have every right to feel the way you do. My mistake was only mine. It was one of judgment.
00:55:38I didn't know about the hurricane. I didn't anticipate the effect it would have on the shrews.
00:55:44I thought the house would be safe through the crisis.
00:55:47How could you expose your own daughter? How could you expose Anne to that?
00:55:51She was going to leave last week, but the boat didn't come.
00:55:55Let's drink.
00:55:57You want to add whatever you want to do?
00:56:01Anybody else care for one?
00:56:02I could use some coffee.
00:56:04I'll make some.
00:56:06All right. Thank you.
00:56:07Creamy sugar?
00:56:08Creamy sugar.
00:56:12Oh, my leg.
00:56:22Slam the door.
00:56:24You all right, doctor?
00:56:26He just ripped my trousers, that's all.
00:56:28Are you sure that's all?
00:56:30I'm completely aware of it, doctor.
00:56:38That was a stupid waste of ammunition.
00:56:54Never want them a clean mess.
00:56:56There's still four of them in there.
00:57:01How did they get in?
00:57:03Through that kitchen window.
00:57:04That rope must be rotten.
00:57:08It got him.
00:57:11Rathleth.
00:57:20He's dead.
00:57:20Oh, no.
00:57:23No.
00:57:24He recorded every symptom and reaction right up to the moment of his death.
00:57:42Jerry, tear down one of those drapes and cover him up.
00:57:51Sure.
00:57:52Sure.
00:57:54Gregus will cover Ann and I'll cover him.
00:57:58You'll cover me, but who'll cover you?
00:58:00Shut up!
00:58:01We can get on the man who'll sway from the ship.
00:58:05I told you to shut up!
00:58:09Now, you stop sniffling and think.
00:58:12It'll take a take to get us out of here.
00:58:18There!
00:58:18It won't take them all to dig around this?
00:58:40You're right.
00:58:41No telling where else they're digging, too.
00:58:42Come on, Patty.
00:59:06Give it to me.
00:59:07Go, go, go.
00:59:07There's not enough stuff here to barricade those walls.
00:59:21I'll tell you, we'll pile some of those crates up over there.
00:59:23That route's our last chance.
00:59:25Here, help me, Doctor.
00:59:26I can't see you can find something light.
00:59:28All right.
00:59:36Here, help me with that, Doctor.
00:59:37Don't see me if I can move.
00:59:58Doctor, yes, use these chemical drums as tanks, individual tanks.
01:00:04Here, I'll show you.
01:00:05All right.
01:00:06Stand down here.
01:00:06Look down now.
01:00:09All right.
01:00:10Slow.
01:00:10All right.
01:00:11Are you all right?
01:00:12Yeah.
01:00:13Come on.
01:00:14Hold it here to make some eyepieces.
01:00:16Get out some tools.
01:00:18I'll abandon it.
01:00:19All right.
01:00:19All right.
01:00:21Hey, here's another one.
01:00:33Hey, get that out there.
01:00:34We'll let's work on it.
01:00:34Hey, that's even better.
01:00:37Give me a little more slack.
01:00:51Get some rope and put it on that latch so we can reach it from the ground.
01:00:55I'll come.
01:00:56Come on.
01:00:57Hey, I'll be right back.
01:00:57Get back.
01:00:58Come on.
01:00:59Hold it.
01:01:00Come on.
01:01:01Get back.
01:01:01Oh, man.
01:01:02Go for it.
01:01:03Hey, man.
01:01:04Come on.
01:01:05Come on.
01:01:07Come on.
01:01:08Come on.
01:01:09Hey, man.
01:01:10Hey.
01:01:11Oh, no, no, no!
01:01:26Get up there! Get away!
01:01:29Somebody over here!
01:01:31I'll help it.
01:01:41Now, hold this answer, all right?
01:02:03All right, we're all set.
01:02:05Look, it's going to be rough, but we should be able to duck walk to the beach.
01:02:09Where's Jerry?
01:02:09Jerry, there's a lot of them out there. I can see them. I'm not going.
01:02:13Look, come down here. That wind will blow you right off that road.
01:02:16I told you, I'm not going. I'm staying here.
01:02:20We've got to get them down here somehow.
01:02:22And see if you can coach them down here.
01:02:24Jerry, Jerry, please come down with us.
01:02:27No, Ann, they'll get you if you go out here.
01:02:29Come down here, you fool.
01:02:31Poor devil, I hope he makes it.
01:02:33If he can't leave him, he's not responsible for himself.
01:02:38He's got to go now.
01:02:39All right, doctor.
01:02:47All right.
01:02:53All right.
01:02:54Now, hold it up.
01:03:00All right.
01:03:01All right.
01:03:02All right.
01:03:02All right.
01:03:05Everybody ready?
01:03:06I'm going to open that gate.
01:03:10They're ready.
01:03:12Ready.
01:03:13Okay, here they come.
01:03:19Hold on.
01:03:20Hold on.
01:03:20All right.
01:03:21Come on.
01:03:32All right.
01:03:34Oh, boy.
01:03:36Come on.
01:03:36Come on.
01:03:37Get.
01:03:38Yes, sir.
01:03:39Come on.
01:03:41All right.
01:03:42One.
01:03:43capacity.
01:03:44Ann, what's the matter?
01:03:57Your side's dragging.
01:03:59You want to rest?
01:04:01You tired?
01:04:02What did you say?
01:04:07She says she's all right.
01:04:09She's keeping her eyes closed.
01:04:12All right.
01:04:13Keep your eyes closed.
01:04:14They can't get at you through the slit.
01:04:28This empty drum is too heavy for her.
01:04:31I can barely hold up my side.
01:04:34I'll be all right in a minute.
01:04:37All right.
01:04:39You walk.
01:04:40I'll drag for a while.
01:04:41Listen, don't let their head get under.
01:04:49They'll flip us over.
01:04:50I'll drag for a while.
01:04:51I'll drag for a while.
01:04:51I'll drag for a while.
01:04:52I'll drag for a while.
01:04:53I'll drag for a while.
01:04:53I'll drag for a while.
01:04:54I'll drag for a while.
01:04:54I'll drag for a while.
01:04:55I'll drag for a while.
01:04:56I'll drag for a while.
01:04:57I'll drag for a while.
01:04:58I'll drag for a while.
01:04:59I'll drag for a while.
01:05:00I'll drag for a while.
01:05:01I'll drag for a while.
01:05:02I'll drag for a while.
01:05:03I'll drag for a while.
01:05:04I'll drag for a while.
01:05:05I'll drag for a while.
01:05:06I'll drag for a while.
01:05:07Let's go.
01:05:37He got my foot.
01:05:59Check your foot.
01:06:02No, my foot is free, but he got my foot.
01:06:05Is there a scratch?
01:06:07No, not a mark.
01:06:23Keep moving.
01:06:24Let's go.
01:06:25Let's go.
01:06:26Don, I don't think I...
01:06:36What?
01:06:40Son!
01:06:41Wait, son!
01:06:44Son, we're close!
01:06:46We'll hit the water soon.
01:06:59It doesn't sound like they're following us anymore.
01:07:01We better work deeper.
01:07:14I'm about to round out.
01:07:16Okay, let's swim for it.
01:07:18Okay.
01:07:18Okay.
01:07:19We are safe, aren't we?
01:07:47I mean, the storm.
01:07:49Sure.
01:07:50She rode out the first half, all right.
01:07:52That's always the roughest.
01:07:54Anyway, riding an anchor, I'll get a chance to learn a little more about that Swedish accent.
01:07:59In 24 hours, there'll be one shrew left on the island, and he'll be dead of starvation.
01:08:06An excellent example of overpopulation.
01:08:07Well, you know something, doctor?
01:08:11What's that?
01:08:13I'm not going to worry about overpopulation just yet.
