00:00:00You
00:00:30You
00:01:00You
00:01:18This is operation experiment a secret base far north of the Arctic Circle
00:01:25Experiment was the codename for this top priority scientific expedition
00:01:30These men arrived here on X day minus 60. It has taken them the full two months to get ready
00:01:36Today is X day
00:01:38It is now HR minus 59 minutes
00:01:42There is less than an hour left
00:01:48The plane must arrive at its rendezvous 200 miles away in exactly 58 minutes
00:01:53There can be no margin for error. There can be no second chance
00:01:58This is the rendezvous the forward observation post where scientists and their aides double-check their equipment and
00:02:05Wait for the planes approach
00:02:07It is now HR minus 81 seconds
00:02:11At HR minus 75 seconds the radar antenna flashes the word. There it is
00:02:17azimuth 63 degrees
00:02:19airplane sighted
00:02:2113 hours 11 minutes
00:02:2463 degrees
00:02:2850 miles per hour
00:02:30Professor Tom Nesbitt and Colonel John Evans military liaison tensely wait. The timing is perfect thus far
00:02:38It is now HR minus 56 seconds every man here knows his job he does it quickly
00:02:45Efficiently silently the men are ready. The equipment is ready. It is now HR minus 52 seconds
00:02:53operation experiment to Y

00:03:06ground speed 360
00:03:09Approaching IP IP means initial point the next 26 seconds will determine whether these men have succeeded or failed
00:03:17Now we count the seconds

00:03:49You
00:04:19You
00:04:26Charlie look
00:04:33Colonel Evans, there's something strange on the radar screen
00:04:42Right here sir a foreign object
00:04:44It's gone what's gone I don't know sir, it's silhouetted like 500 times at least where is it then? I don't know, sir
00:05:01Are you sure we saw we saw something maybe the shock to us something in front of the antenna
00:05:07Yeah, that must have been it
00:05:10Eight weeks of preparation that's all over in a second, huh?
00:05:14Jack but energy of that magnitude is released. It's never over
00:05:18What the cumulative effects of all these atomic explosions and tests will be?
00:05:22Oh, it's going to be a lot of work. I'm sure of it
00:05:26But we're going to have to wait a little bit longer. We'll have to wait a little bit longer
00:05:29But we're going to have to wait a little bit longer. We'll have to wait a little bit longer
00:05:32But we're going to have to wait a little bit longer
00:05:35What the cumulative effects of all these atomic explosions and tests will be only time can tell
00:05:41Mean scientists can't tell her
00:05:44The world's been here for millions of years
00:05:47Man's been walking upright for a competitively short time mentally. They're still crawling
00:05:52This test will add to our knowledge. Wouldn't you say so Richie? That's right
00:05:57You know every time one of these things goes off. I feel as if we were helping to write the first chapter of a new
00:06:02Genesis
00:06:03Let's hope we don't find ourselves writing the last chapter of the old one. You sound like a man that's scared Tom
00:06:08What makes you think I'm not?
00:06:12Here the figures Tom
00:06:16We'll be ready to go up to the forward observation post in about an hour good Loomis
00:06:20Get the equipment ready
00:06:22And you gentlemen moment your Geiger counters indicate heavy radiation. You're to turn back turn back Colonel. We'll run back
00:06:29There isn't a hero in the crowd
00:06:33Oh
00:06:4516
00:07:03I
00:07:17Shall we try to go around sir? No wait here for us. We'll go up on foot
00:07:33You
00:08:04You
00:08:20What's your reading
00:08:2319.7 we'd better get out
00:08:26I'll check for 17 you take 18 and I'll meet you back here. Make it fast
00:08:34You
00:08:40Sergeant Willis dead
00:08:43What?
00:08:44But they've gone on foot
00:08:47Okay
00:08:49What's the matter there's a blizzard coming up
00:09:03Oh
00:09:33I
00:10:03I
00:10:33Oh
00:11:03I
00:11:33I
00:12:03I
00:12:24Coming down
00:12:33I
00:12:39Have they reported back yet? No, not yet. We're waiting
00:13:04Get out monster
00:13:08Prehistoric monster quiet quiet
00:13:22I'll get you out George. Don't worry
00:13:33I
00:14:03I
00:14:33Oh
00:15:03Oh
00:15:08Put it right over here
00:15:18Give me my bag
00:15:20I
00:15:30Get some blankets off those other beds, how is he?
00:15:40Where's professor Ritchie still missing sir, what happened? We don't know sir
00:15:44We saw the flares and double-timed it over to post 18
00:15:47The whole shore was breaking loose. We'll grab professor Nazareth just in time. We never found Ritchie Colonel
00:15:52We've got to get Nesbitt to a hospital in the States. He's in a bad way, right?
00:15:57Get word to the main base we want a plane right away
00:16:01I'll get you out. I'll get you out
00:16:06The monster
00:16:09It's coming watch out the monster the monster
00:16:17The monster
00:16:47The monster
00:17:10Well, professor Nesbitt, how do you feel today?
00:17:13fine
00:17:14Where's Colonel Evans? Did you reach Colonel Evans? He'll be here any minute now. I'd like you to meet. Dr. Ingersoll
00:17:20He wants to ask you a few questions if you don't think it'll be too hard on you
00:17:25Questions. I'm a psychiatrist professor Nesbitt. I thought that together we might possibly get to the bottom of this. You'll think I'm crazy, too. I
00:17:33Know my story sounds fantastic professor Nesbitt throughout history people have claimed that they've seen monsters
00:17:38oh, there was the famous Loch Lomond monster, you'll probably recall then the
00:17:43Green serpents off the shores of Ireland
00:17:46But as far as I can remember not one of them was ever caught or even photographed doctor
00:17:50I'm not inclined to let my imagination run away with me. I'm a scientist. All right
00:17:54Then as a scientist, it shouldn't be inconceivable to you that the mind can withstand just so much pressure
00:18:01Now the shock of seeing your friend dead your own terrifying predicament was too much to bear so that you momentarily lost contact with reality
00:18:09It's a phenomenon which was
00:18:11Not uncommon during the war, but George Ritchie wasn't dead when I got away me tried to warn me two people don't share the same
00:18:18hallucination
00:18:22Hello Tom, how are you?
00:18:24Thought out Jack. I'm glad you're here. I'm having a hard time trying to convince these people that I'm not an idiot
00:18:30I was in Washington making my report. I was trying to say about the animal
00:18:33I want to be in on any expedition going after him Tom. I didn't tell him about the animal
00:18:40Why not should have been in the report I went back to post 18 I tried to reconstruct what happened out there I
00:18:48Couldn't find a thing no tracks nothing
00:18:53Nothing I'm sorry, I wish I could say I saw something
00:18:58The blizzard
00:19:00There was a blizzard remember the snow must have blown over and covered everything
00:19:05Jack check me out over here, but you're in no condition to leave. It's imperative that you have rest
00:19:10Can I rest?
00:19:11Listen, that's what I've encountered this sort of thing before you've undergone a tremendous shock. You've got to stay in bed. I
00:19:17See that makes it official
00:19:21Afraid it does
00:19:23So long Tom, you know what the doctor says we'll get together as soon as you're on your feet again, that won't be too long
00:19:28What about that sound I heard
00:19:31Your condition it could have been anything wind anything
00:19:46No wind ever made a sound like that
00:19:58I
00:20:28Can't are you deaf man?
00:20:58Oh
00:21:25Good morning. Good morning
00:21:29What's going on, you know a turbulent world today Oh death and politics
00:21:34The comic page is the only thing that makes sense anymore. I
00:21:38Take it then that for peace of mind you advise a dose of it after each meal. You quote me exactly
00:21:43I'm going to take your advice exactly
00:21:46It is
00:21:55Say
00:21:59Look at this
00:22:15That item is right where it belongs on the comic page
00:22:28I
00:22:48That's why I came here dr. Elson I
00:22:50Felt if you heard my story you do something and what is it you think I can do?
00:22:55Fit out an expedition and institute a search
00:22:58My dear boy the fitting out of an expedition requires a great deal of attention to detail such as time
00:23:05Personnel money. Well, how can you talk about details in the face of such a discovery?
00:23:09I'm not in the field of paleontology and I have a tremendous desire to know more about this animal
00:23:14I thought you'd have such a compelling curiosity that nothing will stand in your way
00:23:18Professor knows but after waiting for 30 years, I'm about to undertake my first extended holiday
00:23:25But I can assure you that I would throw aside my plans if I thought there was the slightest chance of what you're saying
00:23:30Being possible it isn't what about that newspaper item? Oh
00:23:35If all the items of semen reporting monsters were placed end on end reached to the moon my boy
00:23:41You mean I'm just wasting your time. Do you realize that you're asking me to believe you saw a creature?
00:23:47That would be over a hundred million years old
00:23:51You said that a hundred million years ago the water of the Mesozoic Age turned to ice
00:23:56Isn't it possible that an animal could have been trapped in that ice caught in those suddenly freezing temperatures and locked in
00:24:03Then when we released the bomb the heat generated melted the ice in which this beast was imprisoned and freed it
00:24:10Bringing it back to life after a hundred million years
00:24:13Couldn't it have been in a state of hibernation after all bears live through a winter and the somewhat similar conditions
00:24:18That's quite true. A bear does live off itself for one winter
00:24:23From food accumulated within itself, but it's hard to believe that an animal could live for a hundred million years off its own tissue
00:24:30To put it mildly
00:24:32It'd require quite an appetite, don't you think?
00:24:36I don't know if this will be of any help, but you remember doctor
00:24:40I don't know if this will be of any help, but you remember doctor
00:24:44A few years ago an expedition on earth to herd of mastodons in the siberian tundra dead thousands of years
00:24:50Yet their fur was still intact
00:24:52the meat still edible
00:24:54yes, that's quite right my dearly, but
00:24:57They weren't alive
00:24:59And that's the important difference. They weren't alive
00:25:02I know i'm sorry professor, but in all honesty, I I can't support your story
00:25:09Well
00:25:12I guess I go back to the hospital
00:25:16Maybe I should ask for a transfer to the psychopathic ward. Oh, no nonsense. It's not as bad as all that my boy
00:25:23Thanks for listening doctor
00:25:29When he first came to this country I attended his lectures on the curative properties of the radioactive isotope he's a brilliant man
00:25:36Mm-hmm, isn't his story in any way feasible?
00:25:40No, and i'm sorry
00:25:43I'd rather like to help him
00:25:48Quite frankly, I thought that little jaunt of yours last week would knock you for a loop
00:25:52But for the life of me, I can't find anything wrong with you. I feel fine
00:25:56Funny thing I can leave many times. All right with us
00:25:59Don't go rushing off to the north pole again. Keep fit and warm
00:26:03Take those vitamins that I gave you this is your hour of mirth and melody
00:26:07They say music hath charms to soothe the savage beast
00:26:10And they ought to try it on these sea monsters
00:26:12We keep hearing about from marquette canada today comes word of a second ship destroyed by an enormous beast according to her captain george
00:26:18lemay, he really ought to stop smoking that stuff and try virginia golds because
00:26:22Well, it shouldn't take me too long to catch up. Oh, it's good to have you back professor. Thank you
00:26:30Anything else miss ryan
00:26:33Oh, yes, uh, there's miss lee hunter waiting to see you
00:26:36Miss lee hunter. Mm-hmm. She's very pretty
00:26:39Send her in
00:26:44I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
00:26:48I'm sorry. I'm sorry
00:26:52I'm sorry
00:26:54Professor nesbitt
00:26:56How are you?
00:26:58Fine, fine. We met at the university. I'm dr. Elton's assistant. Oh, yes, of course
00:27:05The verdict a prehistoric animal would be presumptuous to be alive today and upset your neatly catalogued theories
00:27:11I see. You don't remember I was a sympathetic bystander. Oh, really? How come?
00:27:16I have a deep abiding faith in the work of scientists
00:27:20Otherwise, I wouldn't be one myself
00:27:23What is it down? Thank you
00:27:25Sorry, I can't offer you anything. But everything we have around here is radioactive
00:27:29No, thank you. Anyway
00:27:31When I was in the lab yesterday, I heard a radio report about a man who claimed that his ship was sunk by a sea monster
00:27:38But I thought if all the stories about sea monsters were laid end to end they'd reach the moon
00:27:43But two reports coming so close together
00:27:46What makes you think two reports are going to convince anybody any more than one did
00:27:50Oh, it convinced me
00:27:52At least it got me to thinking it would be worthwhile investigating
00:27:55I've gathered together all the sketches of the known prehistoric animals. Now if you could identify them, you know
00:28:01Being considered crazy has been quite an experience
00:28:05However, I wouldn't care to go through it again
00:28:08Is this the man with the compelling curiosity afraid of ridicule i'm not afraid of ridicule no
00:28:15But i'm afraid that's what it sounds like
00:28:19You said sketches of all the known animals
00:28:22What if it's an unknown one?
00:28:25That's possible
00:28:26But we'll never really know unless you look at them
00:28:29Oh professor think what it would mean if you were right
00:28:46Five minute break it's coffee time good. I need it
00:28:55Cream and sugar
00:28:57You better take both I make coffee strong enough to enter the olympics
00:29:02one or two
00:29:03Two, please. I never knew there were so many prehistoric animals
00:29:07We haven't even reached the cretaceous period yet
00:29:10I don't know if I could identify that beast now if it looked through the window
00:29:15Maybe it's part imagination after all
00:29:17Something I used to dream about when I was a kid
00:29:20or read in fairy tales
00:29:22You're tired. Why don't you just relax for a moment?
00:29:26Have a sandwich
00:29:29Thanks
00:29:36Funny what's funny
00:29:39Well a girl like you
00:29:40a paleontologist
00:29:42What's wrong with paleontology?
00:29:45Classifying old bones. Oh
00:29:49If we didn't study the past you wouldn't know anything about the atom
00:29:52Dr. Ellison says that the future is the reflection of the past
00:29:56You're fond of dr. Ellison, aren't you?
00:29:58How do you become his assistant?
00:30:01I suppose by continually antagonizing him
00:30:03I was one of his students and to hear him tell it all I ever did was challenge him or argue with him
00:30:09I was afraid he was going to expel me but instead he asked me to be his assistant after I graduated
00:30:14So I graduated and here I am
00:30:17And here I am
00:30:19Between us we spend the ages you deal with the past I with the future
00:30:24And how uncomplicated the past was?
00:30:27And how bright the future can be
00:30:37Well, let's get back to the present
00:30:45So
00:31:04This might be it
00:31:08I'm not sure
00:31:10Not sure
00:31:11But the head looks similar
00:31:13But the front legs are too short, wait a minute
00:31:19Is this any better
00:31:22No, that's much more like it
00:31:28And what about this one
00:31:31That's the closest
00:31:34I think that is it
00:31:37Lee, I think that's the one I saw
00:31:40If two independent observers saw the same thing
00:31:43If that captain in canada
00:31:45Could identify the same sketch and tell his story to dr. Elson
00:31:55Captain george le may marquette canada
00:32:02I want to make a long distance call, please
00:32:04uh person to person
00:32:06to captain george le may
00:32:09marquette canada
00:32:13Chance is called to circle four four seven seven one. Thank you. It's my monster
00:32:29Hello
00:32:36They're speaking french
00:32:40Thank you
00:32:43Hello captain le may
00:32:46My name is tom nesbitt, i'm a scientist in new york
00:32:51I have some very important questions to ask you. I don't speak english parlez français, s'il vous plaît
00:32:57Oui, volontiers
00:32:59Je m'appelle tom nesbitt
00:33:01Je suis un professeur à new york
00:33:04Je voudrais m'informer sur le serpent de mer que vous avez vu et qui a détruit votre bateau
00:33:10moi j'ai vu le même serpent et
00:33:14Serpent
00:33:18Captain
00:33:20Hello captain le may I am sorry, but the capitan has hung up
00:33:25He is very unhappy when anybody mentions his accident because everyone laughs at him operator, please get the captain back
00:33:30I can't tell you how important this is. I am. Sorry monsieur. He will not speak to you again. I'm sure
00:33:35He's a stubborn old man, perhaps a little crazy, especially on the subject of serpents
00:33:43But
00:33:45They think he is crazy too
00:33:47Well, it was a good try anyway, but good tries don't pay off
00:33:52Do you suppose that if you went up there you could make him understand how important this is?
00:33:57I could get a plane
00:34:00Only if anything exciting happens
00:34:03I'll phone you even if nothing happens
00:34:13So
00:34:22You missed him by not more than two hours i'm sure
00:34:25I thought you might be able to tell me where he went his housekeeper wouldn't give me any information
00:34:30Captain le may has been very touchy since his sea serpent incident. Oh people felt that he was a bit barmy, you know
00:34:36They laughed at him
00:34:38Too bad, too
00:34:40The man has served well and faithfully for years
00:34:42I believe a man has right to a few nips now and then I always say
00:34:47And you don't believe his story. I said he was barmy not me
00:34:51He let it get out that he was headed for the interior of canada
00:34:54And was not going to stop until he hit a spot that was absolutely uninhabited by white men
00:35:00A blooming hermit he wants to be mark my word. He'll be back in less than a month
00:35:04I can't wait that long
00:35:07Were there any other survivors? No
00:35:09No
00:35:11How far is it to saint pierre? Oh about a hundred miles
00:35:14Are you going down to see this other chap who claims that he saw it? Yes
00:35:18I say you don't believe in the sea serpent fable. Do you?
00:35:21What do you think? I am barmy
00:35:35Good evening jacob
00:35:38You look much better today
00:35:41A man is here
00:35:43A very great scientist from new york. No sister
00:35:48Take him away. I want no one near me
00:35:51He wants so much trouble to find you
00:35:55Why
00:35:56He says it is very important
00:35:59It is about
00:36:01the beast
00:36:03you saw
00:36:05Tell him leave me alone
00:36:06Tell him I saw nothing tell him I know nothing
00:36:10Tell him it's all in my head
00:36:12It's what everybody says
00:36:15Except me jacob
00:36:17Who are you?
00:36:19I saw the beast too
00:36:21You saw him
00:36:23You're not playing jokes on me
00:36:25No, i'm not playing any jokes people called me crazy, too
00:36:29Stays in my mind always and i'll never forget it
00:36:33Jacob in new york, there are scientists friends of mine who will listen and believe
00:36:39Jacob will you come to new york with me?
00:36:47Is he well enough to travel i'd be left a doctor
00:36:55You know lee there's something very compensating in having to wait 30 years for a holiday
00:37:02Because when it finally comes the joy of anticipation is multiplied by just that many years
00:37:09I feel rather like a school boy on the verge of departing for my first summer camp
00:37:16Oh, by the way that reminds me our young nuclear physicist appears to be delayed
00:37:21He'll be here any minute
00:37:23Shouldn't take him long from the airport
00:37:25Mrs. Zoe cannibal alive today
00:37:28Oh
00:37:31I can lose my job and my reputation listening to such nonsense
00:37:35However, i'm not going to allow my personal opinion to interfere with the possible romance
00:37:41Don't try to change the subject. You're just being stubborn. Am I?
00:37:45Just to listen to this
00:37:48Something that I read this morning
00:37:50on the 21st of october in the year
00:37:521797 one professor gordon lawton was forcibly removed by order of the crown from his chair of science
00:38:00at the university of edinburgh
00:38:02Dr. Lawton was firmly convinced that leprechauns were responsible for the uprooting of the ancient campus oak
00:38:08even swearing upon oath
00:38:10That he had seen them remove it
00:38:13So you see today it's monsters
00:38:16Instead of leprechauns, how certain are you there were no leprechauns?
00:38:19Tom
00:38:20Hello
00:38:21I don't recall this. Dr. Lawton. But what about galileo? He said the earth was round. They made him recant
00:38:27However, the earth is round and there is a monster and I think I can convince you
00:38:33Is this your sailor witness? Yes, sir
00:38:35Jacob bowman. He was the helmsman on the fishing boat fortune. Dr. Elson miss hunter
00:38:42So you saw the monster too, huh
00:38:45Yes, sir
00:38:47Go ahead my dear. This is your experiment
00:38:49Jacob, I want you to look through those sketches and pick out the one that you saw
00:38:56You don't think this is going to be a waste of time
00:38:59Dr. Elson several days ago at miss hunter's apartment. I picked out the sketch of the beast I saw
00:39:04It's right in that batch
00:39:07But unfortunately in paleontology the empirical system of logic isn't enough. It isn't a question of empirics
00:39:14If a particle of the sun broke off and flew into space
00:39:18I wouldn't consider the man who brought that news to be insane
00:39:22As a scientist, I would examine every facet of it
00:39:25Yes, my boy
00:39:25But if a particle of the sun were to break off a hundred million people would have seen it if it broke off
00:39:30It would make no difference if one saw it or no one at all. It would still be
00:39:35The same with the monster it still is
00:39:41Perhaps i'm getting old
00:39:44Now jacob you must be quite sure about this creature you claim to have seen
00:39:49There must be no doubt in your mind
00:39:51If it's here, i'll know it
00:39:53So
00:40:11That that's the one I picked
00:40:15It's the redosaurus
00:40:18extinct for a hundred million years
00:40:21a hundred million years
00:40:23Yes
00:40:24And the direct ancestor of that little lady there
00:40:28Only twice the size according to theory
00:40:31The only known fossils of his species ever discovered were found in a drag of the hudson submarine canyons
00:40:37150 miles from new york. Didn't professor edmunds write a paper on that just last year?
00:40:43Yes
00:40:46Yes
00:40:48If we could only be sure
00:40:50Without a shadow of a doubt dr. Ellison, what further proof do you need?
00:40:54Things have happened again and again and they'll continue to happen
00:40:58I tried to get the authorities to keep the sea lanes and the coastline under close watch
00:41:01They wouldn't listen to me. Uh, they listen to you this time my boy get them on the phone. I'll talk to them
00:41:09Thanks
00:41:14Colonel evans, please
00:41:18Jack
00:41:20Tom nesbitt
00:41:22I feel great
00:41:24That uh hallucination of mine the one that everybody was having such a good laugh about
00:41:29Well, i've got proof the monster exists now tom, let's not start that again
00:41:36What
00:41:38Well, I can just see myself going to the chief of staff and requesting permission to seek out a prehistoric monster
00:41:43Eagles on a straitjacket are not regulation uniform. Look jack. I'm here at the university
00:41:48I'm with dr. Ellison the foremost paleontologist in the world
00:41:52Just a moment. He wants to talk to you
00:41:56Colonel evans, this is dr. Ellison
00:41:59Colonel
00:42:00I'm convinced that professor nesbitt is on to something and dr
00:42:04Ellison, there have been all kinds of stories stories of sea serpents stories of the world coming to an end stories of flying saucers
00:42:11You know, and what makes you so sure there are no flying saucers
00:42:14But nevertheless, I am absolutely convinced that by some strange trick of chance this creature does exist
00:42:21And i'm prepared to stake my reputation on it
00:42:23Well, i'm sure you know what you're talking about doctor, but I think we'll just look foolish if we stick our neck out
00:42:29Well, will you promise me if any further reports come in you let us know?
00:42:32I'll tell you what i'll do doctor. I've got a friend in the coast guard
00:42:35I'll drop in to see him if he's heard of anything i'll get in touch with you. Okay. Thank you. Colonel
00:42:41We'll appreciate it
00:42:43He's going to check and let us know
00:42:46We can't just sit around
00:42:48I'm afraid there's nothing else we can do
00:42:51Wait
00:43:04I heard a new song at the tavern the other day
00:43:08Something about gin and wild women. Oh, how'd it go? Oh, I don't remember
00:43:15stuck five nickels in the box to hear it again and
00:43:19Thing busted down
00:43:21Yeah, well, you know me
00:43:23and I couldn't carry a tune and a
00:43:25bushel basket
00:43:27I like the balance the old ones that warm you even when the fog is a foot thick
00:43:37So
00:43:52You hear that
00:44:07So
00:44:37You
00:44:39Come in
00:44:42That's all
00:44:44Jack how are you?
00:44:46Phil at this moment. I don't know. Well sit down sit down. I haven't seen you since the last army navy game
00:44:52What a game that was
00:44:55What's the problem aec getting you down? No, not at all. Phil. Good stick around
00:45:00I'll be through here in a minute and we'll go over to the club
00:45:03Phil here it is straight
00:45:05One of the scientists in the last polar test claims he saw a monster
00:45:08Now don't look at me like that the dean of the college of natural history believes him then who am I to doubt it?
00:45:14Say you're not trying to get a section 8 discharge. Are you and you're rotting colonel phil?
00:45:18These scientists claim that this monster beast whatever it is. It's a prehistoric thing and if you laugh i'll bring you
00:45:24It's romping somewhere around the north atlantic
00:45:28I guess you'll have to brain me. You're nuts jack. Anyway, that's what they say
00:45:32Look phil
00:45:34Would you do me a favor? Would you check around and see if there have been any reports of any?
00:45:38Oh freak happenings or anything unusual. Are you on the level? Well standing on my head is on the level I am
00:45:44You certainly sound serious
00:45:47All right, i'll check but so help me if this is a practical joke. Yeah, i'll die laughing
00:46:04So
00:46:34Foreign
00:46:39Well, that's it no storm no earthquake nothing but that lighthouse was destroyed completely
00:46:47Were there any other unexplained happenings? Yes
00:46:51Coast guard station 37 reported minor shore wreckage along the massachusetts coast several isolated buildings were destroyed
00:46:58And a farmer was found crushed to death
00:47:01You know, there's a certain inexorable chronology in these disasters
00:47:05I don't follow you doctor
00:47:08Tom first saw the redisaurus near baffin bay
00:47:11While his latest presumed presence is off the coast of massachusetts
00:47:15May I have a look at your chart captain? Of course
00:47:24Oh
00:47:26Now first
00:47:29North of baffin bay
00:47:33And second
00:47:34The fishing catch fortune was wrecked here
00:47:38off the grand banks
00:47:40With another one attacked shortly thereafter
00:47:44uh here
00:47:45nova scotia
00:47:47And third the lighthouse off the coast of maine
00:47:53uh and fourth
00:47:54the unexplained wreckage off the coast of massachusetts
00:47:58You'll notice that we've been following the arctic current all the way down
00:48:05So it's just possible that he might be making for
00:48:09here
00:48:10It was in these submerged canyons that the only known fossils of his species were found
00:48:15What you say is true. We couldn't mine those canyons and kill the redisaurus
00:48:21But think of what a loss to science that would be oh no
00:48:24But to capture it alive that would be an achievement and just how do you propose to capture it if it exists
00:48:31Uh, I I don't know but uh, if we acetate it's down there in the canyons
00:48:37I shall have to go down and see it before I decide upon a method of capture, but that's much too dangerous
00:48:43Yes, but then the risk would be worth it when one thinks of the benefit to science
00:48:49Captain is it possible to obtain the use of a diving bell?
00:48:53You mean you really want to go down there? Yes
00:48:56I can get a diving bell
00:48:59What do you think jack?
00:49:02Everything else I say checks out if you can get it. Let's move. Thank you
00:49:18I still don't see how he's going to find it. This canyon is 100 miles long
00:49:21As I understand it he plans to drop down at a different spot every hour until he does find it
00:49:26Hear this hear this. We are now ready to make the dive at position number one
00:49:31I don't like the idea of you going down there with just one man
00:49:35But that's capacity besides if there's any danger my crewman. Mr. Wilson will know what to do. I brought your dramamine
00:49:40No, thank you, my dear. I'm I'd be much too excited to get seasick
00:49:45Are you ready? Dr. Elson?
00:49:47Remember at the first sign of danger signal us why will you persist in talking about danger my boy the readers orders and I are old friends
00:49:55Good luck doctor. Thank you
00:50:03Here you are sir, thank you
00:50:08Now don't look so worriedly we're scientists this is our job this is a great moment for me
00:50:17So
00:50:41Everything's safe in there
00:50:43Splendid thank you all the comforts of home. Lure away
00:50:49Hoist away
00:51:14So
00:51:21Is there anything I have to do oh, no, sir, you just relax and enjoy the scenery. Oh
00:51:44You
00:51:48This is such a strange feeling I feel i'm leaving a world of untold tomorrows for a world of countless yesterdays
00:52:06You know lee was right I I should have brought the dramamine pills
00:52:13So
00:52:21This is all very frustrating I do hope all our endeavors are not going to be in vain
00:52:43So
00:52:46Thank you, you're welcome doctor
00:52:54We're having coffee now and some visitors
00:53:13Hmm there appears to be a slight difference of opinion between two of the local inhabitants
00:53:43So
00:54:13So
00:54:21There he is
00:54:28It's unbelievable
00:54:32He's tremendous
00:54:34I can only see part of him
00:54:37the leg
00:54:38And the shoulder but he's enormous
00:54:41He found it
00:54:42Shall we pull you up? No, no, no put lee on put lee on
00:54:47He wants to talk to you
00:54:50Yes, doctor lee
00:54:52There's no mistake about it. It's a paleolithic survival
00:54:56Exactly as we pictured it except the dorsal is singular not bilateral
00:55:04And the clavicle suspension appears to be tend to leverage
00:55:13But the most astonishing thing about it is that
00:55:19Doctor dr. Elton
00:55:22He doesn't answer
00:55:24Hello, dr. Elson. Dr. Elson. Hello
00:55:27Get him up raise the bell
00:55:31I'll be pulling you up
00:55:33Dr. Elson
00:55:35Hello
00:55:36Dr. Elson
00:55:38Can you hear me?
00:55:39Answer me
00:55:41Hello
00:55:44The line is dead
00:55:47So
00:56:07Well, the report has been turned in the national guard has been alerted the coast guard too erin's has been put in charge
00:56:13This was being packed for a very different reason
00:56:17Lee what can I say?
00:56:19I should have gone down instead of him. I'm to blame
00:56:22Nobody's to blame
00:56:24And everybody's to blame. We all did what we thought was right
00:56:29But that doesn't bring him through the door again
00:56:31With this funny little walk and that wonderful smile
00:56:36This place seems so empty
00:56:39He used to putter around with the specimens call them pet names
00:56:47His death was so furious
00:56:50Lee
00:56:52He went down in that bell because it was part of his job
00:56:57He used the same words just before
00:57:00Oh tom
00:57:08So
00:57:38So
00:58:08So
00:58:38Ah
00:59:09So
00:59:22Ah
00:59:39So
00:59:58Coming up nassau street toward fine get some help fast
01:00:09So
01:00:32Ah
01:00:39So
01:00:55So
01:01:08So
01:01:38So
01:02:06Ah
01:02:08Ah
01:02:31New york is like a city besieged a state of emergency has been declared and the entire police force put on 24-hour duty
01:02:37Civilian defense is fully mobilized and shelters have been opened in an effort to stop the mounting hysteria
01:02:43All traffic has been halted and times square the heart of new york has stopped beating
01:02:56The national guard has been called out fully armed to repel the invader
01:02:59This is full-scale war against a terrible enemy such as modern man has never before faced
01:03:05Ordinary bullets have no effect and a method of destroying the awesome creature has not yet been formulated
01:03:13But the battlefield has been cleared
01:03:15herald square
01:03:1734th street
01:03:19broadway
01:03:20Every section of the city is guarded. No one knows where the monster will strike next
01:03:25It was last seen on wall street close to where it came ashore
01:03:29But lower manhattan has become no man's land where the beast at present lies hidden
01:03:34The national guard is barricading the entire area in an effort to confine the death and destruction
01:03:39Of what is already the worst disaster in new york's history
01:03:49A screen here
01:03:54105 temperature
01:03:56So
01:04:02Here's the blood specimen get into the laboratory quickly i'm afraid sam
01:04:06I am afraid of what that creature has brought to us deadly afraid
01:04:26So
01:04:28So
01:04:51Could you place it between his eyes we can try sir fire and ready corporal. Yes, sir his skull
01:04:58It's at least eight inches thick
01:05:12Another one colonel no take a three-inch shell to penetrate that skull
01:05:21Bazooka squad prepare to fire
01:05:29All right
01:05:37The high voltage wires it's gonna touch him
01:05:44Bazooka man fire
01:05:51Another nick when he raises his head again
01:05:59So
01:06:02So
01:06:27Get those emergency search lights on we're working on it

01:07:26Colonel evans colonel evans
01:07:29Sergeant wintoni now look proceed with extreme caution wounded. The animal might be twice as dangerous as before
01:07:43There's a possibility the animal might have headed for the river
01:07:46We'll have all shore batteries alerted and naval patrol vessels. Hit me a command car
01:07:53So
01:08:06Colonel levin speaking. Go ahead. Look colonel something's funny
01:08:11Most of the detail there
01:08:13Well, they're out
01:08:15Out on their on their feet sir. Have your sergeant contact the medics and report to captain mitchell
01:08:20Your car is ready sir have the medical officer report to me at area command. Yes, sir
01:08:29He is reported somewhere in the lower bay area battery a in position zero battery a into position zero
01:08:38Report radar findings report radar finding
01:08:42sounding harbor bottom
01:08:44sounding harbor bottom
01:08:46Activate mines numbers 8 to 24 activate mines numbers 8 to 24
01:08:52What's the situation major sounding the harbor bottom no indications yet, sir
01:08:58Charting room colonel evans majors. There's a call here for colonel
01:09:04This is evan speaking
01:09:06Who?
01:09:07Oh, yes. Hello doctor colonel. They've already brought in over 50 of your men and the people this afternoon
01:09:12The monster's a giant germ carrier of a horrible virulent disease contact with the animal's blood can be fatal
01:09:20If you use shell fire who knows how far the air will spread the particles of it the entire city can be endangered right doctor
01:09:29And the anti-submarine nets been raised across the narrows no, sir, what have them raised
01:09:33Raise the anti-submarine nets raise the anti-submarine nets
01:09:37We should have used flamethrowers
01:09:38I would have cremated the beast and the plague with it flamethrowers the smoke would have carried the blood particles just as far as the air
01:09:44No, it will have to be reduced so that not even a cinder would remain
01:09:49Any reports yet major
01:09:51No signs yet. Colonel. He may be dying at the bottom. We'll set the drags in the morning, right?
01:09:56Attention monster ashore at manhattan beach heading towards amusement area
01:10:01Unland, I thought we had him in a corner pocket
01:10:04jack
01:10:06There's only one way to beat him. How?
01:10:08radioactive isotope
01:10:10Shoot it into him and destroy all that disease tissue
01:10:36So
01:10:38So
01:11:03Keep your men alerted sergeant, but nobody's to fire unless specifically ordered to yes, sir
01:11:08How soon tom?

01:12:32Just remember one thing
01:12:34It has to be shot into the wound and you have to make it the first time
01:12:38This is the only isotope of its kind this side of old bridge so you can't miss
