En un pueblecillo de una región pantanosa, un furtivo dispara contra una extraña criatura con ventosas, dándola por muerta, pero al poco es atacado y fallece con misteriosas marcas en su cuerpo. El sheriff local no se toma demasiado interés en el asunto, pero un representante de la ley forastero que está sirviendo en el lugar decide investigar.

00:02:39The End
00:02:39Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:02:43Just hold me a second, Lamb.
00:02:45Liz!
00:02:48You hear me, girl?
00:02:59Well, you won't now.
00:03:05You wanna play that thing so loud?
00:03:07Why don't you come out like this first?
00:03:11Oh, don't bother me.
00:03:13Liz.
00:03:18Someday I'm gonna give that she-cat the rotten she's been asking for.
00:03:22Sure you will, Dave. Bring it all down to her.
00:03:25Let her know who wears the pants around here.
00:03:29I'll be back in a minute.
00:03:33If any whooping's done back there, I'll leave you 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 ya?
00:03:43Yeah, Lamb, let's share the rest of that.
00:03:45Like I was singing, I put five slugs into that critter before it went under.
00:03:51Don't call this thing I ever seen.
00:03:53And regular arms on it, like a man.
00:03:57It was sort of different looking.
00:03:59Had-had suckers on them.
00:04:02Like one of them, uh...
00:04:04Like one of them octipuses things.
00:04:07Oh, it was plum off look.
00:04:10Lamb, you sure that critter wasn't pink?
00:04:13Ha ha ha!
00:04:14Oh!
00:04:15I told you before, it was sort of gray looking.
00:04:18Ha ha ha!
00:04:20Well, laugh if you want.
00:04:22But that thing weren't nothin' nature put out there.
00:04:25Oh, sure.
00:04:27And it weren't no freak gator neither.
00:04:30I've been porching this country for 40 years, and I ain't never seen nothin' like it.
00:04:36Well, too bad you didn't bring it back.
00:04:38Steve Benton probably paid a fair bounty for whatever it was.
00:04:41Bounty?
00:04:43I 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 lookin' kinda pinked.
00:04:55No.
00:04:56I'm gonna clean my otter lines out before morning.
00:05:00Lamb, I think that critter's a ghost of one of those otters you've been poaching all these years,
00:05:05coming back to haunt you.
00:05:07Ha ha ha!
00:05:09Well, if that's so, you fairs will see it right quick yourselves.
00:05:16Ha ha ha!
00:05:21Ha ha ha!
00:05:25Oh!
00:05:27Oh, boy.
00:05:29Oh my my boy, it's hot.
00:05:31Oh!
00:05:32Boy, it's hot.
00:05:33Hoo!
00:05:34Tick!
00:05:38Tick!
00:05:39Tick!
00:05:40Tick!
00:05:42Tick!
00:05:43Tick!
00:05:50Tick!
00:05:51Tick!
00:05:56Look, it's not like I want to be mean or anything like that, Liz, baby.
00:06:00I 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 they know, they'll be laughing at me.
00:06:08And they'll be telling all the rest of them.
00:06:11Won't you please listen to me, Liz, baby?
00:06:15Liz?
00:06:49Let's go.
00:06:52I'll touch you, my wife.
00:07:08Touch me.
00:07:09Do you think you're talking to me?
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?
00:07:27Where are you going?
00:07:30I'm going out.
00:07:33Maybe I'll be back.
00:07:35Maybe I won't.
00:07:36Liz, baby.
00:07:38I didn't mean nothing.
00:07:53You're my wife.
00:07:56I don't know.
00:07:57I don't know.
00:08:02I don't know.
00:08:08Well, there was a young one in that last trap.
00:08:10I had to kill it.
00:08:11Oh, poor thing.
00:08:13Told you you shouldn't have come along.
00:08:20Well, I can understand hunting an animal,
00:08:22but making it suffer in those traps, it's horrible.
00:08:26Well, these poachers know the swamps like the back of their hands.
00:08:29But I'll catch one of them in the attic some night
00:08:31and put him away for six months.
00:08:33In the meantime, they'll have to be satisfied
00:08:34confiscating 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.
00:08:48They've lived this way for generations.
00:08:50One man isn't going to change them overnight.
00:08:52You're a real worrywart.
00:08:54Oh, I'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 that truck and lock it up.
00:09:32I don't know.
00:10:00Listen, Benton, the coroner ruled that Sawyer died in a 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...
00:10:09Look, if Len 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 Len.
00:10:26Well, Len, 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...
00:10:43Look here, Benton. You work for the state.
00:10:46Now, 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.
00:11:06Oh, that boy's looking for bad trouble.
00:11:10And he's sure going to get it.
00:11:12You can bet on that.
00:11:22So, you see, the octopi uses its suction discs to hold its prey.
00:11:27Now, in itself, the disc will not inflict a wound.
00:11:30The same is true with a squid.
00:11:32Now, both creatures have a parrot-like beak as their primary offensive and defensive weapon.
00:11:36Well, maybe the sheriff was right, Dad.
00:11:40Could 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.
00:11:56He 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 you used.
00:12:10Nothing could live after being hit with those slugs.
00:12:14Well, concede the possibility of one such creature.
00:12:17We must also concede the possibility of others.
00:12:22Well, 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.
00:12:32I'll find it.
00:12:34I'll find it.
00:12:43I'll find it.
00:12:51I'll find it.
00:13:16It sure is bright around here.
00:13:53Did you hear something?
00:13:54Yes.
00:14:00Well, whatever it was, it's not here anymore.
00:14:09Do you want some coffee?
00:14:11Yeah, thanks, son.
00:14:23Do you want some coffee?
00:14:39I'll be around.
00:15:05Do you want some coffee?
00:15:08I'll be around.
00:15:10Well, I guess we might as well give up to you today.
00:15:13You won't get any argument from me.
00:15:17Do you want some coffee?
00:15:20Do you want some coffee?
00:15:58I'm asking you for the last time, Dave Walker.
00:16:02Are you 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 safe, stupid?
00:16:14I've got to get this order over on 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.
00:16:26Get out.
00:16:27Get out, you fat pig!
00:16:46You, um, have some trouble, Dave?
00:16:49You know living, Cal.
00:16:51Got to get the hair down every now and then.
00:16:54You sure don't know an awful lot about females.
00:16:57I've got to hand it to you.
00:16:59I can't stand here at John, Cal.
00:17:02Got to get this order over to Miss Chauvey.
00:17:05What's she letting her hair down about this time?
00:17:09Well, ever since Lynn got herself killed,
00:17:12she wants me to sell out and move into town.
00:17:15Don't you let her bamboozle you, Dave.
00:17:18You keep her right here in the store.
00:17:21After all, the place wouldn't be the same 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.
00:17:46Liz, baby.
00:17:50It's Cal, honey.
00:18:01You want something, Cal?
00:18:07I sure do, honey.
00:18:25Quiet.
00:18:27Oh, I'm dead.
00:18:29Me too.
00:18:31Come on over here.
00:18:34Come on.
00:18:34Come on.
00:18:37Come on.
00:18:37Come on.
00:18:41Well, 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
00:18:55alien creature.
00:18:57Not so much as a mud print we couldn't identify.
00:19:01I know.
00:19:04You're not going to give up, are you, Steve?
00:19:07Well, 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.
00:19:19Wonderful.
00:19:19I know.
00:19:30I know.
00:19:32I know.
00:19:36I know.
00:19:40I know.
00:19:59Yes, some woman, Liz.
00:20:03I reckon I haven't met a woman like you before.
00:20:07You really like me, Cal?
00:20:11Oh, you're kidding.
00:20:13No, it didn't hurt you now, did I?
00:20:17It's just so strong.
00:20:21I like him being strong.
00:20:24What?
00:20:26You sure picked a doozy than man, Dave.
00:20:30I don't think he's got a muscle in him.
00:20:32Just a big piece of flab.
00:20:36Oh, honey, I didn't mean anything.
00:20:38I didn't mean anything against you.
00:20:41Just that I can't see a real woman like you tying in with a tub of art 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'd try me.
00:21:03Come on, you tell old Carol about it.
00:21:12You wouldn't think better than me?
00:21:14Crazy.
00:21:17You tell me you killed your pa and your ma and your whole family.
00:21:21I'll fight to protect you.
00:21:27You牛...
00:21:29I'll fight.

00:28:04I'm sorry.
00:28:05I didn't mean it.
00:28:07Please, I'm sorry.
00:28:14You think you'll learn enough to stay away from a woman and cow?
00:28:17Oh, oh, anything, Dave?
00:28:20I'm over here.
00:28:21I'm a lad of a cow.
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.
00:28:32Give me my head.
00:28:33Oh, what have you got?
00:28:37Oh, my God.
00:28:39I'm not behind you.
00:28:48Oh, my God.
00:28:50Oh, my God.
00:28:51Oh, my God.
00:28:59There 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, Walter.
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.
00:29:32I just wanted to scare them good.
00:29:37I 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.
00:29:46That's why you chased her through the swamp with a shotgun.
00:29:51Come on, Walker.
00:29:52Where'd you hide the bodies?
00:29:55Oh, would you believe me?
00:29:56There were some monsters.
00:29:58Take him out of here before I lose my temper.
00:30:03Come on.
00:30:09County pay a reward if someone finds a body, Sheriff.
00:30:14Fifty dollars.
00:30:17Each.
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:24You know, I never thought that of old Dave.
00:30:28Of course, that'll be 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, you can bet some old bull gator's got them stuffed in his cave
00:30:45under the bank,
00:30:46letting them ripen up for a few days.
00:30:50Yeah, well, what we need now is some long cypress poles to go in there and pull them gator caves.
00:31:13I'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 if I find you near the preserve with any
00:31:20explosives.
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, I wouldn't hesitate a minute.
00:31:42We've been together the last three days.
00:31:44We 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, something killed those people.
00:31:54All right.
00:31:55I'll admit so.
00:31:55Your 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.
00:32:04And Walker 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 gelass with polka dot tails, Walker 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.
00:32:30Doc, I'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.
00:32:40He killed two people.
00:32:41One his wife.
00:32:43Oh, look, Doc.
00:32:44Nan 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.
00:32:49They'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.
00:33:04Stoggered and pig-headed.
00:33:06You just don't understand, do you?
00:33:16Good night, Doc.
00:33:21Good night.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:55Right over there in them reeds.
00:34:12Just can't figure old Dave out.
00:34:15If he was caught like Cal, what would you do?
00:34:19I hadn't thought of that.
00:34:22Right over there in them reeds is where that big one used to be.
00:34:26Yeah.
00:34:28Caught some good catfish in that hole.
00:34:48Boy, this is sure up.
00:34:56Right unseasonable.
00:35:00Sure is funny.
00:35:02Huh?
00:35:03Ain't you noticed anything?
00:35:05About what?
00:35:06We've been prodding around till our morning.
00:35:09Ain't run across a single gator.
00:35:12By rights, this pool should be crawling with him.
00:35:16Sure funny.
00:35:18Yeah, that is funny.
00:35:20I don't like the looks of paint.
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 bend yet.
00:35:27You do what you want to do, boy.
00:35:29Just get me on dry land.
00:35:31And right quick.
00:35:32All right.
00:35:33Now, ain't no use getting all head up.
00:35:35Let's go.
00:35:38You've got to quit drinking that handshine.
00:35:43That's why you just wrinkled it.
00:35:49We out here, wild goose chase.
00:36:01We out here, wild goose chase.
00:36:22We out here, wild goose chase.
00:36:51You'll be out there, wild goose chase.
00:36:57We out here, wild goose chase.
00:37:13You don't want to die now, wild goose chase.
00:37:40We've been calling, but there's been no answer.
00:37:43Oh, I just got back.
00:37:44What seems to be the trouble?
00:37:45Haven't you heard?
00:37:47Old Sam Peters and Porky Reed have disappeared.
00:37:50Come on inside.
00:37:57You 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.
00:38:26Doc, 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.
00:38:31I'll call Bill Kevins 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 want to meet you with Jimeno隻.
00:38:44Good boy.
00:38:49Good boy.
00:38:55Good boy.
00:38:58Good boy.
00:38:59Good boy.
00:39:00Good boy.
00:39:09THE END
00:39:44THE END
00:40:04Well, they picked up the scent anyway
00:40:07Dad, do you think they'll find them?
00:40:10Only the good Lord can answer that
00:40:29Well, at least we know they got this far
00:40:32All right, let's fit up into two parties and circle the lake
00:40:35Keep your eyes open
00:40:36Let's move out
00:40:43All right, let's go
00:41:24It's clear over here.
00:41:49It's clear over here.
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 there ain't no use hurrying now, Mr. Benton.
00:42:39Reed and old Sam was alive.
00:42:41They'd let us know him with a holler or something.
00:42:44Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
00:42:46You 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 torture scared them away.
00:43:03Nothing scares gators.
00:43:05Nothing.
00:43:06Animal or human.
00:43:10Well, we might as well get out of here.
00:43:21You 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...
00:43:34Maybe a mineral contamination.
00:43:36Guess I better run some water samples.
00:43:38Come 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
00:43:48and go down to look for this monster of yours.
00:43:50No, Steve.
00:43:50Don't even joke like that.
00:43:53I'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?
00:44:13Well, that goes your argument about setting off a dynamite charge under water.
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 aquaian life in that section,
00:44:32even if the bigger forms have abandoned it.
00:44:36Explosion under water would destroy every living thing
00:44:38and wreck what nature took years to build up.
00:44:41Number two, I'm paid to prevent the useless slaughter of wildlife.
00:44:46Number three, I'd have to get authorization.
00:44:47And to get that authorization,
00:44:49I'd have to come up with a heck of a good reason.
00:44:53Satisfied?
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?
00:45:07Oh, nothing.
00:45:09Hey, carry 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.
00:45:35All right.
00:46:00I'm stuck!
00:46:54Let you go any minute.
00:47:00Let's go!
00:47:51I just can't figure it out.
00:47:56Let's go!
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 corner'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.
00:48:18Well, 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.
00:48:33You mind, honey?
00:48:34No, I'll make some sandwiches.
00:48:47One thing is certain, for all the good it'll do now, Dave Walker didn't shoot Cal.
00:48:55I just come from the autopsies.
00:48:58Covers tried to keep me out.
00:49:00I told them I'd raise a stink they'd smell all the way to the Capitol if he did.
00:49:03Well, what killed them, Doc?
00:49:06Not drowning.
00:49:08And Cal wasn't shot, either.
00:49:11Every drop of blood was drained out of their bodies.
00:49:15And they had wounds on their throats.
00:49:17Suction wounds.
00:49:18Like a gigantic leech might make.
00:49:22And there's something even more incredible.
00:49:25Now, Cal was supposed to have been killed several days ago.
00:49:28Sam 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.
00:49:43And 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? It's impossible.
00:49:52The coroner will confirm it.
00:49:54Whatever killed them is still in that lake.
00:49:56And it's going to take more than dynamite to get it out.
00:50:01A concussion from those charges would have killed a full grown whale.
00:50:07That explains how Cal and the others lived after they were supposed to be drowned.
00:50:11What do you mean?
00:50:12Well, 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.
00:50:29We 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 mass,
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.
00:50:50You mean you think that there's an air pocket or a cave underneath the lake?
00:50:54Right, gotta 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.
00:51:00Steve.
00:51:03Liz Walker.
00:51:06She might still be down there.
00:51:09Alive.
00:51:16Mal!
00:51:27Mal!
00:51:30Mal!
00:51:33Mal!
00:51:35Mal!
00:51:40I!
00:51:41Mal!
00:51:47Mal!
00:51:51Mal!
00:52:10Yeah, you sure you don't want me to go down for you, Mike?
00:52:12You haven't had one of these things on for a long time.
00:52:14Well, 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 they'd kept their nose out of other people's business.
00:52:43I'll guarantee that.
00:52:49Let's go, Mike.
00:52:53Steve!
00:52:56Be careful, please.
00:52:58Don't worry.
00:52:59Mike will be ready if anything goes wrong.
00:53:00Don't worry about Steve.
00:53:02Now, if you were going after Barracuda, you might have a tiny bit to worry about.
00:53:06Ready, Mike?
00:53:36I'll see you next time.
00:53:37I'll see you next time.
00:53:45Oh, no, please.
00:53:54Stay away.
00:53:57Please.
00:54:00Not exactly inviting, is it?
00:54:03That sure isn't.
00:54:06Hold it steady, Mike.
00:54:28It'll stop anything up to a tiger shot.
00:54:30But you gotta hit.
00:54:31Misses don't count.
00:54:33Anything goes wrong, just yank on the line.
00:54:35I'll be down in a hurry.
00:54:37You gotta hit.
00:54:39You gotta hit.
00:54:42I'll be down.
00:54:49Okay.
00:54:53Take a minute.
00:54:55All right.
00:54:57Let's go.
00:54:57Oh, no, no.
00:55:01I'll be down.
00:55:02I'll be down.
00:55:02Oh, no.
00:55:03Oh, no.
00:55:03Oh, no.
00:55:03Oh, no.
00:55:04Oh, no.
00:55:05Oh, no.
00:55:05Oh.
00:55:05Oh, no.
00:56:08You sure you don't want me to go down and finish it off for you, Steve?
00:56:11No, thanks, Mike.
00:56:12I think I hurt her pretty bad.
00:56:15Careful now.
00:56:16Anything that hurts ten times as dangerous.
00:56:23He's wounded it!
00:56:24He'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?
00:56:43Well, they use atomic energy in their first stages of launching.
00:56:47Not all of them have been successful.
00:56:49Do you 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...
00:56:57A mutation.
00:56:58A type of gigantism of some common animal.
00:57:02Whatever it is, I hope he's able to bring it up.
00:57:07Let's go.
00:57:35Oh, my God.
00:58:06That can't be Liz.
00:58:13What could have done that?
00:58:15Look at her face.
00:59:02Look at her face.
00:59:05Look at her face.
00:59:45I've been around here for years.
00:59:46I never saw nothing like that.
00:59:56Look at her face.
01:00:16Look at her face.
01:00:53There was no sign of them this time.
01:00:55They must be licking their wounds.
01:00:58You sure you used enough stuff to do the job, Mike?
01:01:00I used 100 sticks to 40%.
01:01:02I ought to blow the bottom right out.
01:01:04All right.
01:01:05Let her go.
01:01:06Oh, no.
01:01:07I've done enough of your dirty work.
01:01:09Help yourself.
01:01:09Let's go.
01:01:10Let's go.
01:01:10Let's go.
01:01:11Let's go.
01:01:12Let's go.
01:01:13Let's go.
01:01:24Let's go.
01:01:32Let's go.
01:01:34Oh, my God.
01:02:04Oh, my God.
