00:00:01 #1 First in Alaska and then invading steadily southward.

00:00:06 #2 There were reports of a new species.

00:00:10 #3 The giant killer shrew.

00:00:12 #4 It almost made my ears pop.

00:01:28 #5 Kane's got different ways of telling you it's there.

00:01:33 #6 Where is it?

00:01:35 #7 Get ahead.

00:01:37 #8 What does that mean, us?

00:01:40 #9 My boy, that puts our port right in the middle of it.

00:01:42 #10 There's a cove on the east side, though.

00:01:49 #11 We'll snuggle up close to the bluff and ride it out.

00:01:51 #12 I'm gonna write it out.

00:01:52 #13 What about the pilot?

00:01:54 #14 Well, the chart shows it's good holding ground.

00:01:55 #15 It's clay.

00:02:00 #16 You know something?

00:02:01 #17 If this thing had an automatic pilot,

00:02:03 #18 I wouldn't have to put up with you.

00:02:04 #19 Then you wouldn't have no better to chew out.

00:02:09 #20 We should be there in a couple of hours.

00:02:10 #21 These mills of yours keep running.

00:02:13 #22 Look, automatic pilots can't play Dixieland jazz

00:02:16 #23 on the minions like I can.

00:02:33 #24 Take a look.

00:02:35 #25 There she is, dead ahead.

00:02:42 #26 Man, that show-hulu look good.

00:02:45 #27 A man named Craigus owns this island, doesn't he?

00:02:48 #28 That's the name on the crate, Dr. Milo Craigus.

00:02:50 #29 We'll unload tomorrow.

00:02:52 #30 I don't want this crap sitting high in that water

00:02:53 #31 when that flow hits.

00:02:55 #32 You going to ride stern too with a lot of water under?

00:02:57 #33 That's right.

00:02:58 #34 That sea won't make up in that cold.

00:03:00 #35 That wind will have her whipping around like a kite.

00:03:03 #36 Just look forward and break out the heavy weather hook.

00:03:05 #37 The track will make sure it's free to run.

00:03:07 #38 I'll mount some shack.

00:03:08 #39 Good.

00:03:49 #40 Ah, she'll ride like a duck.

00:03:50 #41 If she swings too far to starboard,

00:03:52 #42 we might have to take a check line to shore.

00:03:55 #43 Hey, Rook, take a slant up that trail.

00:04:01 #44 That's a rather strange setup, wouldn't you say?

00:04:04 #45 Like somebody's getting rid of somebody, our Captain.

00:04:08 #46 Maybe.

00:04:09 #47 Hard to tell.

00:04:28 #48 I'm Dr. Crakes.

00:04:29 #49 Thorn Sherman.

00:04:31 #50 I have your supplies aboard.

00:04:32 #51 That's good.

00:04:33 #52 Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson, I hope.

00:04:35 #53 Well, I wouldn't know.

00:04:38 #54 I just bought his run.

00:04:39 #55 Oh, I see.

00:04:41 #56 Well, you're able to fill our order.

00:04:43 #57 Everything on the list.

00:04:44 #58 Here's the manifest.

00:04:46 #59 Missing last week's supply has run us a little short,

00:04:49 #60 you know.

00:04:50 #61 Captain, after you have unloaded it,

00:04:52 #62 I have a passenger for you.

00:04:54 #63 And?

00:04:56 #64 Captain Sherman, this is my daughter Anne Cragins.

00:05:01 #65 So you're the passenger.

00:05:02 #66 That's right, Captain.

00:05:04 #67 Oh, it's going to be nice having you aboard.

00:05:07 #68 I'm getting a little tired looking at Griswold.

00:05:09 #69 But we're not leaving today.

00:05:18 #70 We're not even unloading.

00:05:20 #71 That load will cut the roll in half.

00:05:24 #72 You expecting an invasion?

00:05:27 #73 Yes, animals.

00:05:29 #74 Game or otherwise?

00:05:31 #75 There's certain conditions that could be dangerous.

00:05:38 #76 Hey, Ruff, you want to shake the kinks out?

00:05:40 #77 Limber up a little?

00:05:42 #78 Not me, Captain Blight.

00:05:43 #79 You go right ahead and stretch your legs.

00:05:45 #80 That ship's going to be bugging like a bug in Brock for a long.

00:05:47 #81 Besides, I got some work left to do.

00:05:51 #82 If you do come ashore, wear a gun.

00:05:53 #83 Got you, Captain.

00:06:24 #84 I told you about the hurricane. You act like you didn't know anything about it.

00:06:28 #85 What's the matter? You're set broken down?

00:06:31 #86 You've been out of communication for more than a week, Captain.

00:06:34 #87 Can't it be fixed?

00:06:36 #88 It's totally out of commission.

00:06:38 #89 My assistance.

00:06:40 #90 Who's that feral? Jerry Feral?

00:06:50 #91 Father, perhaps the Captain would enjoy a drink.

00:06:53 #92 Well, of course.

00:06:56 #93 Would you join us in a cocktail?

00:06:57 #94 Well, I've never been known to turn down a drink yet.

00:07:00 #95 I'll be glad to accept.

00:07:02 #96 Fine. In that case, we'll have martinis.

00:07:05 #97 Mario?

00:07:06 #98 Yes, sir?

00:07:07 #99 Next time, please. Right this way, Captain. Come in.

00:07:15 #100 You have everything here you need?

00:07:38 #101 We are self-sufficient here.

00:07:40 #102 We have cows for fresh milk,

00:07:43 #103 and chickens for fresh eggs.

00:07:44 #104 We even have saddened horses.

00:07:46 #105 Sort of a world all your own.

00:07:48 #106 That's exactly what I've tried to create.

00:07:50 #107 Well, to eat your own.

00:07:53 #108 If you have to be isolated for your work,

00:07:55 #109 you've picked a lonely little island.

00:07:58 #110 Excuse me, please. I think I'll change.

00:08:00 #111 She's a little worried because you aren't leaving until tomorrow.

00:08:11 #112 Well, I can understand that.

00:08:13 #113 But there's something else bothering her.

00:08:15 #114 Rathford? Rathford?

00:08:32 #115 Rathford, would you please step over here like you'd to meet someone?

00:08:35 #116 Just a second, Doctor.

00:08:37 #117 That could go on for hours.

00:08:40 #118 Dr. Baines.

00:08:42 #119 There's no need to shout, Doctor. I'm right here.

00:08:44 #120 I'd like you to meet Captain Thorn Sherman.

00:08:47 #121 This is my other assistant, Ratford Baines.

00:08:49 #122 How do you do?

00:08:51 #123 Two new litters since lunch, Doctor.

00:08:53 #124 Both support GT116.

00:08:56 #125 That's good, but the...

00:08:57 #126 We can breed them to the 205 group in about three weeks.

00:09:00 #127 But I'd prefer to wait and expose about half of them to the Huskins factor first.

00:09:05 #128 If you agree.

00:09:08 #129 Good idea.

00:09:10 #130 Do you know there's a hurricane coming?

00:09:12 #131 I reckon. Well, I don't suppose there's much we can do about that.

00:09:18 #132 Glad to meet you. Sherman, wasn't it?

00:09:23 #133 You have to excuse Ratford.

00:09:30 #134 Anything that is not concerned is a project and does not get through to him.

00:09:34 #135 Brilliant mind.

00:09:36 #136 He was stalted, but somewhat didn't remind him to eat.

00:09:38 #137 Must be very interesting work. What's his field?

00:09:41 #138 Biology. We specialize in genetics, heredity.

00:09:44 #139 I'm afraid my interest doesn't run in that line, you know.

00:09:47 #140 You know, think what would happen if you could isolate and identify the inherited fact on each gene.

00:09:53 #141 Now wait a minute, I'm afraid I'm not very good with pure research.

00:09:57 #142 This is practical research.

00:09:59 #143 Generally among mammals, the smaller the size, the higher the metabolism and the shorter the lifespan.

00:10:05 #144 Is that right?

00:10:05 #145 Well, I'm attempting to decrease the size by maintaining a low metabolism and resultant a longer lifespan.

00:10:13 #146 What reason?

00:10:15 #147 Overpopulation.

00:10:18 #148 Not a problem now, but it will be in time.

00:10:26 #149 If we were half as big as we are now,

00:10:28 #150 we could live twice as long in our natural resources.

00:10:32 #151 Father, may I speak with you a moment?

00:10:35 #152 Will you please excuse us, Captain?

00:10:37 #153 Well, providing you drop the Captain, I prefer it though.

00:10:56 #154 Tell me something, Doctor.

00:10:57 #155 Has a hurricane ever hit this island before that you know of?

00:11:01 #156 I wouldn't know.

00:11:03 #157 You've only been here nine months and this place has been

00:11:05 #158 unoccupied for years.

00:11:06 #159 Have you ever been through one?

00:11:09 #160 Only the fringes.

00:11:10 #161 This one's building up very fast.

00:11:12 #162 Pressure drops very quickly in the center.

00:11:14 #163 I'd advise you to get some doors and windows open in this place.

00:11:17 #164 Then tell me it is under root.

00:11:22 #165 And if you'll freshen hands, drink, I'll go and check them.

00:11:26 #166 I'd be happy to.

00:11:28 #167 I think Heaven's your ride today.

00:11:30 #168 Why, are rations getting short?

00:11:32 #169 No, it's more than that. Much more.

00:11:35 #170 We'll surely be able to sail tomorrow, won't we?

00:11:38 #171 Possibly. But not probable. Not delayed anyway.

00:11:42 #172 It takes a long time for a sea like that to quiet down.

00:11:45 #173 Well, if you're worrying about me, you needn't. I'm a good sailor.

00:11:49 #174 Well, I'm not worried about you. We'll sail in the times right.

00:11:54 #175 Got them opened all right.

00:11:56 #176 Well, Captain, let me freshen you a drink.

00:12:00 #177 One for the road.

00:12:02 #178 I'm trying to rush you, but it will be dark soon.

00:12:06 #179 I've invited Thorne for dinner, Father.

00:12:11 #180 I see.

00:12:14 #181 If you're not worried about your ship, you're welcome.

00:12:18 #182 I'll take a rain check on that dinner, if you wish.

00:12:20 #183 Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.

00:12:23 #184 Progress, Doctor.

00:12:29 #185 This is the sole survivor of Group 30.

00:12:32 #186 Twenty-eight months old today.

00:12:35 #187 Well, that's equivalent to 140 years to us.

00:12:38 #188 That's right, yet it still maintains low metabolism without any sluggishness.

00:12:45 #189 It's not the breakthrough, but it certainly sets our course.

00:12:49 #190 Ratford, suspend series 52 through 96,

00:12:55 #191 and we'll concentrate on the rest.

00:12:56 #192 What is that?

00:12:57 #193 It's a sororax suricidae.

00:13:01 #194 Looks like a small rat.

00:13:03 #195 Smells like a skunk.

00:13:06 #196 They have musklands in their knees.

00:13:08 #197 These little fellows are our subjects.

00:13:11 #198 They have a birth cycle of 10 to 14 days,

00:13:14 #199 When using them, we can establish traits.

00:13:17 #200 We can trace the progressions to a number of generations

00:13:19 #201 over a short period of time.

00:13:21 #202 Well, how big do they get?

00:13:25 #203 That's an adult.

00:13:29 #204 See, their muscle is longer and thicker than the rats.

00:13:33 #205 It extends over the lower mandible, see?

00:13:35 #206 Does he bite?

00:13:37 #207 Only when he's hungry.

00:13:38 #208 Well, maybe you better take him. He doesn't know me.

00:13:41 #209 All he knows is his next meal.

00:13:44 #210 Uh...

00:13:45 #211 He's just been fed.

00:13:47 #212 He'll be all right for another eight hours.

00:13:53 #213 A shut-up to open. Ratford?

00:13:55 #214 I got it, senor.

00:13:59 #215 If that's scary, it's going to get worse.

00:14:02 #216 Storms always threaten her. Ever since she was a child.

00:14:15 #217 They're not climbers.

00:14:17 #218 They're digging animals, like the moat.

00:14:21 #219 They feed only at night, unless they're starving.

00:14:24 #220 And when they are hungry enough, they'll tackle anything, regardless of size.

00:14:30 #221 You're kidding.

00:14:31 #222 If you leave two of them in a cage for 12 hours without food,

00:14:34 #223 the stronger will eat the weaker.

00:14:36 #224 My cannibals. Precisely.

00:14:39 #225 You see, their intense activity requires a tremendous amount of energy.

00:14:45 #226 To supply, they must eat three times their own weight in food every 24 hours,

00:14:51 #227 or starve.

00:14:53 #228 Ratford, Ratford, would you please take this?

00:14:58 #229 Yeah.

00:15:04 #230 Some call them bone eaters.

00:15:07 #231 When the flesh is gone, they'll eat the bones for marrow.

00:15:10 #232 All they'll leave are teeth, horns, wounds.

00:15:13 #233 I could use another martini. Do you mind?

00:15:15 #234 Of course, my dear. I'll get you one.

00:15:18 #235 And keep, oh, for both.

00:15:36 #236 Mario will show it to the bet. He'll freshen up a bit.

00:15:39 #237 Eh, yeah, be El Signor al baño.

00:15:42 #238 Si, signor. Sígame, por favor.

00:15:44 #239 Excuse me.

00:15:45 #240 Aquí, signor.

00:16:01 #241 You got a problem, too?

00:16:25 #242 Que paso?

00:16:26 #243 Nada.

00:16:27 #244 Nothing, sir. But you will live on the ship tomorrow.

00:16:31 #245 Well, I think that all depends on the wind and the sea, don't you?

00:16:35 #246 Yes, sir. No.

00:16:41 #247 Ah, you're joking. I feel the point. I see.

00:16:46 #248 Well, I'm glad to hear that.

00:16:48 #249 Now, if anybody else is concerned about my sailing tomorrow, why...

00:16:51 #250 You see, they feel the point too, huh?

00:16:54 #251 I don't like to repeat myself.

00:16:56 #252 Okay, sir.

00:16:57 #253 No, but I'm not saying that you created them Jerry.

00:17:33 #254 I am saying that because of your drunkest

00:17:35 #255 stupidity in leaving the cage door open,

00:17:38 #256 you created the horrible situation that now exists.

00:17:41 #257 Look Anne, this is a mistake any one of us might have made.

00:17:45 #258 And I'm getting a little sick of being called

00:17:47 #259 an irresponsible drunk.

00:17:49 #260 Now believe me, I am.

00:17:51 #261 Excuse me.

00:17:56 #262 Care for a cigarette?

00:18:10 #263 Thanks.

00:18:11 #264 And thank heavens you arrived today.

00:18:13 #265 You said that before. What's the string?

00:18:15 #266 If I don't make sense, please excuse me.

00:18:18 #267 But it seems like everything is coming to a head at once.

00:18:21 #268 I want to leave, but I want my father to go with me.

00:18:24 #269 Well, then why doesn't he?

00:18:26 #270 We've discussed it many times, but he's adamant.

00:18:32 #271 I'm sure Jerry has a lot to do with this decision.

00:18:35 #272 He tried to convince me that the crisis will only last for a few...

00:18:41 #273 This is certainly a cozy little scene.

00:18:50 #274 Might even be called intimate.

00:18:53 #275 Boy meets girl and...

00:18:54 #276 Stop it, Jerry.

00:18:55 #277 that your mark is uncalled for.

00:18:57 #278 What I do or have to say does not concern you.

00:19:00 #279 I can't disagree with you more, my dear.

00:19:02 #280 I'm concerned with everything you do,

00:19:04 #281 and I intend to keep it that way.

00:19:06 #282 Now, in my book, an engagement isn't a casual thing.

00:19:08 #283 In my book, it isn't either.

00:19:10 #284 And last night ended ours.

00:19:12 #285 Everybody in the world is scared to death of something.

00:20:31 #286 That's evident.

00:20:32 #287 When they came at us last night,

00:20:34 #288 you knocked me down getting inside the fence.

00:20:36 #289 It's just that I can't stand them.

00:20:38 #290 I've discovered something I can't stand.

00:20:42 #291 All right.

00:20:43 #292 But I advise you not to mention it to anyone.

00:20:46 #293 I'm gonna complete these experiments with your father,

00:20:48 #294 regardless of anything.

00:20:49 #295 Do you understand that?

00:20:51 #296 Nobody is gonna take this chance away from me.

00:20:57 #297 Let's get this shaman.

00:20:59 #298 Checking the weather, I'll get him.

00:21:06 #299 Time for dinner.

00:22:07 #300 One of those trees crashes through, it might just not...

00:22:09 #301 Well, honey, any tree on this side of the house

00:22:11 #302 will fall away from it, so just relax.

00:22:14 #303 But I think I'd better go back aboard.

00:22:17 #304 I don't think I'm not grateful for your hospitality.

00:22:19 #305 I am. I'll see you tomorrow.

00:22:20 #306 Thorn, your ship is safe.

00:22:23 #307 Please stay here with me.

00:22:26 #308 Why? You scared or lonesome?

00:22:29 #309 Both.

00:22:31 #310 I'll take a rain check on it.

00:22:33 #311 Thorn, you can't leave.

00:22:36 #312 No one opens that gate after dark.

00:22:39 #313 Well, who's gonna stop me? You?

00:22:42 #314 What's this?

00:22:44 #315 No one opens that gate at night.

00:22:50 #316 Now look, I don't ask questions because it's against my principles.

00:22:54 #317 Wouldn't you like to explain that?

00:22:58 #318 To Don and I will.

00:22:59 #319 Give me the gun.

00:23:01 #320 Not very becoming, anyway.

00:23:03 #321 You believe in fairy tales?

00:23:06 #322 Well, I'm a little old for that sort of thing, but what do you have in mind?

00:23:09 #323 Well, I'll tell you about one.

00:23:11 #324 A true fairy tale.

00:23:13 #325 And you're right in the middle of it.

00:23:15 #326 Oh?

00:23:16 #327 Have you ever heard of a shrew?

00:23:18 #328 As in taming of the...

00:23:19 #329 They're called the animal. Bradford called them sorority when you showed them.

00:23:24 #330 True must be the common name for those animals.

00:23:27 #331 Cute? That's the last word you can describe these little monsters.

00:23:31 #332 They're the most horrible animals on the earth.

00:23:35 #333 They breed within three weeks after birth.

00:23:38 #334 I know what your father told me, but what's that got to do with me opening that gate?

00:23:46 #335 There are two or three hundred giant shrews out there.

00:23:50 #336 Monsters weighing between 50 and 100 pounds.

00:23:53 #337 50 to 100.

00:23:57 #338 Wait a minute. You must be kidding.

00:23:59 #339 I'm definitely not kidding.

00:24:01 #340 That's as big as a full-grown wolf.

00:24:05 #341 And what's more, they are beginning to starve.

00:24:08 #342 I wonder you didn't want me to go out there.

00:24:15 #343 Thanks for saving my skin.

00:24:17 #344 Well, I'm sorry I had to threaten you with a gun.

00:24:20 #345 But I didn't know how I was to stop you.

00:24:22 #346 Oh, it was very effective.

00:24:24 #347 But all you had to do was tell me about them.

00:24:26 #348 Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to.

00:24:28 #349 But you changed everything when you started to leave.

00:24:31 #350 And I had to stop you some way.

00:24:35 #351 You say there's two or three hundred out there?

00:24:37 #352 Anne, that's right, Captain Thorn.

00:24:46 #353 And if you'd stuck with your rowboat and played captain

00:24:49 #354 instead of trying to play detective,

00:24:50 #355 you wouldn't have to worry about how many are out there, would you?

00:24:53 #356 That's enough, Jerry. What's wrong, Anne?

00:25:02 #357 Well, Thorn decided to leave.

00:25:04 #358 To this way, they might have started to tell him about their shoes.

00:25:08 #359 He might as well know the whole story as half of it.

00:25:17 #360 I guess we're all little jumpy captain. Yeah, I'm sorry six months ago. We managed to isolate the factor controlling sides

00:25:27 #361 To lead us to born six individuals we kept the study

00:25:32 #362 They were about the size of buckshot at birth

00:25:36 #363 But the rate of growth was abnormal they continue to grow row

00:25:43 #364 They were mutants

00:25:46 #365 But they inherited all the negative characteristics of their breed

00:25:49 #366 They managed to escape.

00:25:51 #367 But a month later, we saw one of the offspring.

00:26:00 #368 They were multiplying.

00:26:02 #369 We did everything in the world to exterminate them,

00:26:05 #370 but no apparent luck.

00:26:08 #371 Then we haven't seen any.

00:26:10 #372 Since daylight neither blinds them,

00:26:12 #373 and they forage only at night,

00:26:14 #374 only starving.

00:26:16 #375 But the fact that two of them charged

00:26:20 #376 Anne and Jerry at the gate last evening

00:26:23 #377 indicates that they're available

00:26:25 #378 that the available food on the island is nearing depletion.

00:26:29 #379 Then what, doctor?

00:26:33 #380 They will exterminate each other.

00:26:36 #381 It'll take a couple days.

00:26:38 #382 What do we do during that time?

00:26:40 #383 Stay indoors and wait until it's over.

00:26:44 #384 Get some wires glued down on the transformer.

00:26:50 #385 I'm sorry. I'll get some lamps.

00:26:54 #386 Mario! Mario!

00:26:56 #387 See, senorita?

00:26:58 #388 There's a lantern in the pantry. Light it and bring it in here.

00:27:00 #389 Bradford, find all the candles you can find.

00:27:06 #390 All right, I will.

00:27:07 #391 Where's the generator?

00:27:08 #392 Outside.

00:27:09 #393 Can't get at it at night.

00:27:10 #394 Let me help you.

00:27:15 #395 Lantern will give you all the light you need.

00:27:18 #396 I will join you shortly, Jerry.

00:27:19 #397 Jerry, I felt she was sincere and made sense from her standpoint.

00:27:38 #398 Wanting her father to leave the island with her makes sense?

00:27:42 #399 That'd be much better for the project

00:27:43 #400 if I went with her for a few days.

00:27:46 #401 As a matter of fact, I think I'll talk to the doctor about that.

00:27:50 #402 That might be the answer.

00:27:52 #403 And another thing, I don't take much to this thorn Sherman.

00:27:55 #404 He looks to me like the type that'd try anything.

00:27:58 #405 That left-handed dinner invitation.

00:28:02 #406 That was just to keep me here till after dark, wasn't it?

00:28:05 #407 I wanted you here tonight.

00:28:13 #408 I've had something terrible was going to happen.

00:28:16 #409 Well, you still feel the same way about it?

00:28:18 #410 Not as much. Not since you're here.

00:28:20 #411 I know everything.

00:28:21 #412 I love an open fire, don't you?

00:28:39 #413 Mm-hmm.

00:28:40 #414 The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?

00:28:48 #415 Sure does.

00:28:51 #416 Like in Sweden, we don't have a wind this strong.

00:28:54 #417 You're a strange man, Thorne.

00:29:00 #418 I never met anyone like you.

00:29:03 #419 Oh?

00:29:04 #420 You seem so disinterested in everything.

00:29:07 #421 Aren't you the least bit curious?

00:29:10 #422 Don't you wonder about the unusual things around here?

00:29:15 #423 The guns, the fins?

00:29:17 #424 The shattered windows. My accent. Anything.

00:29:21 #425 I'll tell you something.

00:29:23 #426 I'm only interested in anything that concerns me, then I do something about it.

00:29:27 #427 You're gonna sail with me tomorrow, whether you're fine or not.

00:29:33 #428 I couldn't take a chance. He's fool enough, too.

00:29:58 #429 Don't be stupid. I had no intentions of going out there, opening that gate.

00:30:02 #430 Now somebody needed it. Did you hear it, doctor?

00:30:06 #431 It sounded like a human voice. I was thinking a rook.

00:30:09 #432 I was thinking of Rook. He was a life-stuck.

00:30:12 #433 His shoes got into the barn.

00:30:25 #434 What was his father?

00:30:27 #435 He was a life-stuck.

00:30:30 #436 Did Mario forget to bar those doors?

00:30:32 #437 No.

00:30:34 #438 I put him in the barn myself.

00:30:37 #439 I couldn't get through the wood doors.

00:30:40 #440 They dug through the dirt floor.

00:30:42 #441 Let me ask you something, doctor.

00:30:45 #442 How could you expose all our lives, yourself included, with those things out there?

00:30:49 #443 All you had to do was get the Coast Guard or the Navy to come in here and burn them out.

00:30:53 #444 Those things got loose.

00:30:55 #445 Any unusual experiment can produce unusual results.

00:31:00 #446 That's why I chose this island.

00:31:02 #447 It's isolated.

00:31:04 #448 Miles of open water in any direction.

00:31:08 #449 Our project is privately financed.

00:31:11 #450 It's not a problem for the government or military.

00:31:14 #451 And the world is in no danger.

00:31:19 #452 His species does not swim.

00:31:21 #453 And as far as the shrews are concerned,

00:31:24 #454 this island is their world.

00:31:28 #455 Very soon, right here on this island,

00:31:31 #456 there's going to be a minute here reproduction

00:31:33 #457 of an overpopulated world.

00:31:36 #458 And you'll see the importance of what we're working to avoid.

00:31:39 #459 I'm not concerned about all this theory.

00:31:41 #460 What I'm concerned about is our lives.

00:31:43 #461 It'll be ample time to panic when they run out of food

00:31:46 #462 and go on a 24-hour forage.

00:31:49 #463 How do you know they haven't already?

00:31:51 #464 That's possible.

00:31:52 #465 Their main diet has been a small animals on the island.

00:31:55 #466 That sauce could have been depleted 18 or 20 hours ago.

00:32:00 #467 And that's why they went after the livestock.

00:32:03 #468 There's still some food on this island

00:32:05 #469 before they reach the crisis. Where?

00:32:08 #470 Don't worry about them digging in here.

00:32:15 #471 The floors are tiled.

00:32:16 #472 But the walls aren't, doctor. They're adobe.

00:32:19 #473 Our safest bet would be on that boat.

00:32:22 #474 You may be right.

00:32:24 #475 We can reach your boat in daylight.

00:32:27 #476 The Shrews will gorge themselves on livestock.

00:32:31 #477 They'll keep them at the Taj for several hours.

00:32:33 #478 There's no sense looking at the dark side.

00:32:36 #479 And there's no sense minimizing a serious situation.

00:32:39 #480 It leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it.

00:32:42 #481 Now we certainly can't make it tonight.

00:32:45 #482 That's out of the question. Maybe tomorrow.

00:32:51 #483 We'll get some sleep tonight.

00:32:53 #484 But we'll have a watch an hour and a half apiece.

00:32:55 #485 Dr. Hugo first, then Redford, Mario, Jerry, and then me.

00:33:00 #486 Shutter all the windows, make sure they're locked good and tight,

00:33:03 #487 check all these walls.

00:33:05 #488 No, I think I'll stay here by the fire.

00:33:10 #489 I feel safer.

00:33:12 #490 I couldn't stand it in that room alone.

00:33:15 #491 All right, as you wish.

00:33:17 #492 But far to get some sleep.

00:33:19 #493 Sir, you'll find it.

00:33:59 #494 Here is Mario.

00:34:01 #495 You are next to make the patrol, no?

00:34:03 #496 Uh, sir, Mario, come on in.

00:34:07 #497 I've been waiting for you to finish.

00:34:10 #498 I must have dosed off, you kinda startled me.

00:34:15 #499 Sit down.

00:34:17 #500 Here.

00:34:18 #501 I have a drink that will help you relax.

00:34:20 #502 Gracias, señor.

00:34:23 #503 Sit down.

00:34:24 #504 That's too wild.

00:34:29 #505 You just checked every room in the house, didn't you?

00:34:32 #506 See?

00:34:33 #507 Fine.

00:34:35 #508 You're a good man, Mario.

00:34:38 #509 A man that can be trusted.

00:34:49 #510 You know what I've been thinking about, Mario?

00:34:53 #511 And...

00:34:55 #512 And that captain?

00:34:58 #513 You and me.

00:35:01 #514 Imagine a... intelligent girl like her going for a...

00:35:07 #515 common...

00:35:09 #516 sea tramp like him.

00:35:13 #517 I know why. You do too.

00:35:17 #518 In case anything goes wrong, she's looking after her own hide.

00:35:22 #519 That's why I keep thinking about you and me.

00:35:25 #520 Anything goes wrong, we're gonna outlast them all.

00:35:33 #521 I'm going to trust you to take my turn

00:35:51 #522 of patrolling the house.

00:35:54 #523 But when you finish, don't wake the captain.

00:36:01 #524 Come back here and get me.

00:36:03 #525 See, I'll probably feel good enough by then

00:36:05 #526 to take his turn.

00:36:09 #527 OK, Mariam? Safe.

00:36:11 #528 Okay, it is Mario

00:37:17 #529 What is it there is a big rat on the La bodega I?

00:37:21 #530 Shrew in a seller see I hear him singing down there

00:37:25 #531 Well, how did he get in?

00:37:26 #532 This door break out the kitchen window, but I close it off. He went down there

00:37:31 #533 Why should he go down there the fool for the little rat on this I put out to and frost they love it

00:37:37 #534 What did you tell Jerry no, sir? It is your turn next here is one loose we kill him no

00:37:43 #535 Now, we're going down after him.

00:38:09 #536 But I don't want you to let anybody open that door

00:38:11 #537 till I tell you to. You understand?

00:38:13 #538 Good girl.

00:38:15 #539 Open it just a crack. Open.

00:38:38 #540 Hold on to it. Take that side.

00:38:41 #541 See, senor, I will be careful.

00:39:48 #542 Don't gotten busy.

00:40:03 #543 He's dead.

00:41:12 #544 I got this on him right away. He couldn't have bled to death.

00:41:21 #545 Might as well let go of it. Won't do him any good now.

00:41:29 #546 I won't do him any good now.

00:41:33 #547 Could have killed him.

00:41:36 #548 I'm not certain.

00:41:38 #549 Till the autopsy.

00:41:41 #550 Hematoxic syndrome.

00:41:44 #551 I'm afraid so.

00:41:46 #552 We'll know after pathology.

00:41:49 #553 Doctor, that's not the same animal you showed me.

00:41:52 #554 That's a monster.

00:41:54 #555 As I said, there are mutants.

00:41:59 #556 In controlling the size factor,

00:42:01 #557 We seem to have crossed some of the other characteristics.

00:42:04 #558 Well, you certainly did a good job of it.

00:42:07 #559 I've known that for some time, Captain.

00:42:15 #560 Would you please give me a hand, but Mario?

00:42:18 #561 Bradford, bring up the animal.

00:42:21 #562 Bring me high poison content in the Shrew's saliva.

00:42:43 #563 Compare it with this.

00:42:46 #564 Careful count isn't necessary.

00:42:49 #565 Any indication of the same poison that Marius blood

00:42:51 #566 will give you the answer.

00:42:53 #567 Yes, you're right.

00:42:55 #568 Rooting about it's not going to do any good.

00:43:05 #569 Now why don't you try to think of something else?

00:43:07 #570 Tell me, what do you do around here? Are you a scientist?

00:43:12 #571 A mesologist.

00:43:15 #572 That's the study of animal life, isn't it?

00:43:18 #573 What do you specialize in?

00:43:21 #574 They died.

00:43:23 #575 I had a hand in these two.

00:43:25 #576 And I'm partly to blame.

00:43:36 #577 That this ends it.

00:43:38 #578 We ever get off this island.

00:43:40 #579 I'll never have anything to do with it again.

00:43:43 #580 What will you do?

00:43:45 #581 Live normally. Like normal women do.

00:43:48 #582 May see it. Seem a little dull after the life I've been living.

00:43:54 #583 Drother dull and alive then excited and...

00:43:56 #584 I'll take a dull, alive woman every time.

00:43:59 #585 Autopsy has proved what we suspected.

00:44:19 #586 Several weeks ago, I concocted the most virulent poison I could

00:44:24 #587 the materials I had at hand.

00:44:26 #588 Let me put it out as bait.

00:44:28 #589 Mario was killed by poison.

00:44:31 #590 Doctor, I wonder if you thought the system of the Sorex

00:44:37 #591 enabled them to assimilate that poison.

00:44:39 #592 It remained in the salivary glands of their jaws.

00:44:42 #593 Isn't that wonderful?

00:44:44 #594 Well, I am sorry, of course.

00:44:48 #595 I always speak from the clinical point of view.

00:44:51 #596 Well, don't you have something to counteract that poison?

00:44:54 #597 Once Mario was bitten, I'm afraid there's

00:44:58 #598 Nothing anyone could have done.

00:45:02 #599 This indicates that they cannot afford to get even so much as a scratch from these animals.

00:45:07 #600 They are more poisonous than snakes.

00:45:10 #601 What do you think they're all affected?

00:45:13 #602 The best way to find out is let them all bite you and see which bite you die after.

00:45:17 #603 We might just all get that chance, Jerry. You included.

00:45:22 #604 Doctor, I've closed all the doors in the house.

00:45:25 #605 I suggest we do the same thing with this hall and this lab.

00:45:28 #606 They'll cut down the chances of getting in the front of the house.

00:45:31 #607 I think if we keep a close watch in those walls and windows in there,

00:45:34 #608 we might make it till daybreak.

00:45:37 #609 The walls are two feet thick, too.

00:45:39 #610 Do you think they have a chance to dig in?

00:45:42 #611 Of course there's a chance.

00:45:44 #612 Anywhere that plaster's off, that adobe's as soft as mush where that rain hit it.

00:45:48 #613 But here's another possibility, Donker.

00:46:27 #614 It's very light out. It's going to be daylight soon.

00:46:31 #615 We'll take the shrew that killed Mario and throw it over the fence and use it for bait.

00:46:36 #616 If they show up for it, of course they'll run for the boats out.

00:46:40 #617 But if they don't, then I'll go down and have Rook lay two with the lighter.

00:46:43 #618 Then I'll return to the bend and the trail and give you the all-clear signal.

00:46:48 #619 Sounds fine, Captain.

00:46:50 #620 Good, then you explain it to the rest.

00:46:52 #621 Yes, I will.

00:47:07 #622 Well, the bait's been out for 20 minutes. Nothing's touched it.

00:47:10 #623 That's gone down, isn't that wonderful?

00:47:52 #624 I'm afraid it's not over my dear. It's just a low. We'll be a lot more. He's right

00:47:58 #625 I'll be back at the bend shortly now you watch for my signal. You can't go long. I'll go with him

00:48:03 #626 Not you father. You haven't even fired a gun take rather Jerry

00:48:08 #627 Sure, I'll go

00:48:11 #628 And you'll be sure of getting this signal

00:48:28 #629 Shoot that gun unless you have to you've only got 20 rounds all together I know that as well as you

00:49:00 #630 You do.

00:49:05 #631 Sherman, you stay away from her.

00:49:10 #632 You have that gun pointed at me?

00:49:12 #633 Right at the middle of your back.

00:49:15 #634 Look, we've got enough problems about worrying about Anne.

00:49:18 #635 You know, when you stay away from her,

00:49:20 #636 when the shrews get through with you, they won't even find a buck shot.

00:50:12 #637 I'll follow that check line. I gotta find him.

00:50:15 #638 Since last night, you won't find much of him.

00:50:18 #639 Would you shut up?

00:50:19 #640 I'm not going back.

00:50:21 #641 You're what?

00:50:22 #642 I'm staying here.

00:50:24 #643 All right.

00:50:25 #644 You suit yourself, but if I were you, I'd swim out to that boat.

00:50:30 #645 Can't swim?

00:50:31 #646 Then stay here.

00:50:33 #647 Wait a minute.

00:50:34 #648 You gotta give me a gun.

00:50:37 #649 Give you a gun?

00:50:38 #650 Sherman, wait!

00:50:43 #651 The gun we had on the boat.

00:51:20 #652 They don't leave much, do they?

00:51:28 #653 Sherman, we gotta make a deal for us.

00:51:35 #654 What is it?

00:51:39 #655 They've been trailing us on both sides.

00:51:43 #656 Where? I didn't see anything.

00:51:47 #657 Look, Sherman, you've got to give me a gun.

00:51:49 #658 But if you do, don't you run.

00:51:57 #659 You stay in front of me because I don't trust you.

00:51:59 #660 Come in, or didn't he?

00:54:24 #661 What happened out there?

00:54:26 #662 Oh, nothing much.

00:54:28 #663 Jerry just tried to kill me twice in the last five minutes.

00:54:30 #664 The roof came ashore last night.

00:54:37 #665 He's dead.

00:54:38 #666 This door was left.

00:54:45 #667 Won't do us any good. It's got no ammo.

00:54:47 #668 I'm deeply sorry, Captain.

00:55:04 #669 I wish you had followed your orders.

00:55:07 #670 Look, Doctor, you casually mentioned animals.

00:55:10 #671 You didn't explain to us what we were facing out there.

00:55:14 #672 Every right to feel the way you do.

00:55:16 #673 My mistake was only mine. It was one of our judgment.

00:55:22 #674 I didn't know about the hurricane.

00:55:24 #675 I didn't anticipate the effect it would have on the shrews.

00:55:28 #676 I thought the house would be safe through the crisis.

00:55:31 #677 How could you expose your own daughter?

00:55:33 #678 How could you expose Anne to that?

00:55:35 #679 She was going to leave last week, but the boat didn't come.

00:55:39 #680 I need a drink. Anybody else care for one?

00:55:47 #681 I could use some coffee.

00:55:49 #682 I'll make some.

00:55:51 #683 Creamy sugar.

00:55:55 #684 Are you all right, doctor?

00:56:12 #685 He just ripped my trousers. That's all.

00:56:14 #686 Are you sure? That's all?

00:56:16 #687 I'm completely aware of it, doctor.

00:56:18 #688 That was a stupid waste of ammunition.

00:56:40 #689 Everyone on my clean mess.

00:56:42 #690 I still pour them in there.

00:56:44 #691 How did they get in?

00:56:49 #692 Through that kitchen window. That rope must be rotten.

00:56:52 #693 It's got you!

00:56:55 #694 He's dead.

00:57:07 #695 Oh, no.

00:57:08 #696 But every symptom and reaction...

00:57:27 #697 right up to the moment of his death.

00:57:30 #698 Jerry, turn down one of those drinks and cover him up.

00:57:36 #699 No.

00:57:38 #700 Sure. Sure.

00:57:41 #701 Gregus will cover I am, and I'll cover him.

00:57:45 #702 You'll cover me, but who'll cover you? Shut up!

00:57:49 #703 We can get on this man old swafer.

00:57:52 #704 Shut up!

00:57:56 #705 You stuck sniveling on things.

00:57:58 #706 I can get us out of here.

00:58:02 #707 You won't take the mouth to dig around this?

00:58:27 #708 You're right.

00:58:28 #709 They're coming where else they're digging, too.

00:58:30 #710 What's up here to barricade those walls?

00:59:09 #711 I'll tell you, we'll pile some of those crates up over there.

00:59:11 #712 That roof's our last chance.

00:59:13 #713 Help me, Doctor.

00:59:14 #714 We can find something like...

00:59:21 #715 Here, come over there, doctor.

00:59:27 #716 Drive safe and quiet for a moment.

00:59:51 #717 Drums as tanks.

00:59:53 #718 Individual tanks.

00:59:55 #719 Here, I'll show you.

00:59:58 #720 Let's go down now.

01:00:00 #721 All right.

01:00:02 #722 But these drums are too tall for the base.

01:00:16 #723 If the shoes don't push us over, the wind will.

01:00:18 #724 Not if we lie them together.

01:00:20 #725 Huh? All right.

01:00:22 #726 Hey, are there any more around here?

01:00:24 #727 Only dustbin over there.

01:00:26 #728 You have any cold chisels or hammers or anything?

01:00:28 #729 Cold chisels or hammers or anything, I can knock a hole in here and make a black piece of this.

01:01:08 #730 And put it on that latch so we can reach from the ground.

01:01:11 #731 Come here, come here. And see if you can close him down here.

01:02:41 #732 Jerry, Jerry, please come down with us.

01:02:44 #733 No, I am not. Get you if you go out here.

01:02:49 #734 Come down. Poor devil, I hope he makes it.

01:02:51 #735 If you can't leave him, he's not responsible for himself.

01:02:55 #736 He wants to go now.

01:02:57 #737 All right.

01:03:25 #738 I'm going to open that gate.

01:03:26 #739 Here they come.

01:03:32 #740 Your side's dragging.

01:04:16 #741 She says she's all right.

01:04:28 #742 She's keeping her eyes closed.

01:04:31 #743 All right, keep your eyes closed.

01:04:33 #744 They can't get at you through the sled.

01:04:36 #745 This empty drum is too heavy for her.

01:04:50 #746 I can barely hold up my sight.

01:04:53 #747 I'll be all right in a minute.

01:04:55 #748 I'll drag her for a while.

01:05:03 #749 Don't let their head get under.

01:05:08 #750 They'll flip us over.

01:05:10 #751 Don't let them throw you us anymore.

01:07:23 #752 Deeper.

01:07:31 #753 Okay, let's swim for it.

01:07:40 #754 Okay.

01:07:41 #755 I'm not going to go to the gym.

01:08:08 #756 But we are safe, aren't we?

01:08:10 #757 I mean, the store.

01:08:11 #758 Oh, sure.

01:08:12 #759 She rode out the first half all right,

01:08:14 #760 and that's always the roughest.

01:08:16 #761 Anyway, riding an anchor out

01:08:18 #762 to the chance to learn a little more about that Swedish accent.

01:08:22 #763 In 24 hours, there'll be one shoe left on the island,

01:08:26 #764 and he'll be dead of starvation.

01:08:28 #765 An excellent example of overpopulation.

01:08:32 #766 Well, you know something, doctor?

01:08:33 #767 What's that?

01:08:34 #768 I'm not going to worry about overpopulation just yet.
