In the Year 2889 (also known as Year 2889) is a 1969 American made-for-television horror science fiction film from American International Pictures about the aftermath of a future nuclear war. The film stars Paul Petersen, Quinn O'Hara, Charla Doherty, Neil Fletcher and Hugh Feagin.
Plot: A nuclear war has wiped out most of Earth's population. The film follows a group of survivors who are holed up in a secluded valley and must protect themselves from rising radiation levels, mutants, and in some cases, each other.
Although not set in the year 2889, In the Year 2889's title is borrowed from a short story of the same title by Jules Verne and his son, Michael Verne. (The film however did not follow the Jules Verne story at all.) The screenplay was written for Buchanan by Harold Hoffman.

00:00:00You
00:00:30But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.
00:00:57The earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burned up.
00:01:27The Geiger counter here in the studio reads 632 wrenshens.
00:01:51That's six times more than enough to kill a man.
00:01:55Down through the ages, the prophets have forewarned us that in one day, thousands of years of accomplishments could be wiped away by the destructive hand of power.
00:02:05Now that day has come. All communication with the outside world has stopped just 15 hours after the first nuclear bomb fell on Formosa.
00:02:15The whole world has been silenced, annihilated by nuclear bombs.
00:02:22Three billion people murdered by a thousand nuclear bombs and the lethal fallout.
00:02:28Maybe there's no one left to hear my voice.
00:02:32No living human being to record the end of the world.
00:02:37Now this is Ted Johnson for KBGE Radio.
00:02:44My...
00:02:46No.
00:02:47No.
00:02:48No.
00:02:50They're dead.
00:02:50ще sir.
00:02:54on Specter cannot call on earth.
00:03:06No.
00:03:06There's two ones I will wake up next.
00:03:09Ha, Ha, Ha.
00:03:10He didn't come, Dad.
00:03:18Larry didn't come.
00:03:24He's lost.
00:03:25They're all lost.
00:03:27Not just sign of life.
00:03:29New York, Paris, Moscow.
00:03:32All's quiet now.
00:03:39Look, Joanna.
00:03:41It's holding at 47.
00:03:44Why, we may be saved, just as I planned it.
00:03:51I'm not sure I want to, Dad.
00:03:54Not without Larry.
00:03:58I'm sorry, honey.
00:04:00I'm afraid he didn't make it.
00:04:03But there's always hope.
00:04:05Come, let's go inside.
00:04:07I planned it right, Joanna.
00:04:35Our house out here miles from any city.
00:04:37The cliffs, the updrafts of air to fight back the radiation, and provisions for the three
00:04:42of us for months.
00:04:45There's only two of us now, Dad.
00:04:46Honey, I couldn't very well order Larry to come out here and stay with us, even though
00:04:54you are engaged to him.
00:04:56There's someone at the door, Dad.
00:05:04It's Larry.
00:05:05He's made it.
00:05:07Wait.
00:05:11Don't open that door until you're sure it's Larry.
00:05:14It is Larry, and he's hurt.
00:05:16He'll contaminate it.
00:05:17Larry!
00:05:17Larry!
00:05:18Don't.
00:05:19Don't open that door.
00:05:20We can't take the chance.
00:05:22Let me go.
00:05:22I've got to open that door.
00:05:31Wait.
00:05:32Don't touch him.
00:05:33He's red hot with radioactivity.
00:05:36It's not Larry.
00:05:39We've got to help him, whoever he is.
00:05:41Wait.
00:05:42We'd better check the Geiger counter.
00:05:44740 mentions, and he's still breathing.
00:06:02What?
00:06:03He should be dead, but he's still breathing.
00:06:07Nobody can take that much and still live.
00:06:13Don't touch him.
00:06:14It's my responsibility.
00:06:19Who are you?
00:06:21I'm Steve Morrow.
00:06:22It's my brother.
00:06:24Better keep away from him.
00:06:27Granger?
00:06:29Granger.
00:06:30It's okay.
00:06:31It's okay.
00:06:34He's still alive.
00:06:37I don't know why, but he's still alive.
00:06:39He must be dying.
00:06:41The counter showed 740 rinsions.
00:06:43Where are the bedrooms?
00:06:47Upstairs.
00:06:48Come with me.
00:06:48No.
00:06:49They can't stay here.
00:06:51Yes, they can, Dad.
00:06:52But they're contaminated.
00:06:54It's too late for them, but not us.
00:06:55I'll get you some water and clean clothes.
00:07:00I'll get you some water and clean clothes.
00:07:01Just find him some water and, and eggs are very nice.
00:07:05I'm safe.
00:07:06He'll get you some water.
00:07:06I don't know why.
00:07:06I don't know why.
00:07:07How many people go away?
00:08:08Get out of here or I'll kill you.
00:08:34Don't shoot. There's a girl out here.
00:08:36Throw your weapon on the floor.
00:08:38I warn you.
00:08:40This gun's loaded.
00:08:42Hey, I'll kill you.
00:08:43Stop it, Dad. Don't.
00:08:46Move on into the room here.
00:08:48Come in where I can see you.
00:08:49Are you all right?
00:08:56Yeah, I guess so.
00:08:58Is it okay to stay?
00:09:00Of course you can't stay.
00:09:01I have provisions for only three people.
00:09:03Mac, we're staying, so forget the sob story.
00:09:08David, help me.
00:09:10You can't stay here.
00:09:12It isn't the way I planned it.
00:09:13I have provisions for three people only.
00:09:15I'm Joanna Ramsey.
00:09:21Please bring your suitcase upstairs and I'll get you some fresh water.
00:09:24I'll get you some fresh water.
00:09:25Can you see me?
00:09:26Hmm.
00:09:26Thanks, Sarah.
00:09:27Okay.
00:09:27Come here.
00:09:28Come here.
00:09:28Come here.
00:09:29Come here.
00:09:31Come here.
00:11:29Wait.
00:11:31That didn't mean nothing.
00:11:33I was just looking to see if anyone was alive in the house.
00:11:37What's your name?
00:11:39I'm Tim Henderson.
00:11:40I'm a rancher.
00:11:41I live up on the cliff.
00:11:43Sorry I roughed you up.
00:11:45Sure.
00:11:47Come on.
00:11:49How'd I knock you down?
00:11:51Come on up the house.
00:11:53No.
00:11:54He can't stay.
00:11:59Oh.
00:12:01Let the worthless old crew stay.
00:12:03We're all gonna die anyway.
00:12:05He can't stay.
00:12:06It looks like we're stuck with each other.
00:12:23So, let's understand the rules.
00:12:26Now, I'm the ranking officer.
00:12:28I mean person.
00:12:29I'm in command.
00:12:31If we're voting, I vote for me.
00:12:35Oh, don't be funny.
00:12:36This is serious.
00:12:38Shut up, Jada.
00:12:41My second in command will be Steve.
00:12:45This counter is registering 47 wrenchions of radioactivity now.
00:12:5150 is considered dangerous.
00:12:52500 fatal.
00:12:54But that depends on the individual.
00:12:55Different people have different absorption rates and capacities.
00:12:59We may live.
00:13:00We may not.
00:13:02There's a lot we don't know about it.
00:13:04Some of us may be dying now.
00:13:07Well, how long before we can leave this museum?
00:13:09Yeah.
00:13:10I got some things working for me in L.A.
00:13:12Big things.
00:13:13So, how long before we can get out of here?
00:13:16There is no Los Angeles.
00:13:18No Los Angeles?
00:13:19You're kidding.
00:13:20I don't believe it.
00:13:23But there are no radio signals long or short way from any city in the world.
00:13:28She's right.
00:13:30The six of us in this house may be the beginning of a new era.
00:13:34A new civilization.
00:13:36Seven.
00:13:37My brother's still alive.
00:13:39Not for long, I'm afraid.
00:13:40But be that as it may, I've spent ten years getting ready for this day.
00:13:46Now, I'll brief you as to why we're still alive.
00:13:59This is my house with its own generators and food supply.
00:14:03These cliffs surrounding the house on three sides are full of lead-bearing ore that acts as a barrier against radioactivity.
00:14:12The lake here on the fourth side is heated from an underground heat source, probably an old volcano or maybe a crack in the earth's crust.
00:14:25Anyway, the warm air from the lake's waters creates an updraft.
00:14:30And it's strong enough, I might add, to carry radioactive contamination out of the valley, as long as it doesn't rain.
00:14:39If the rains come too soon, we'll all be contaminated and die.
00:14:44That is, if we don't let other forces destroy us before that time.
00:14:50What other forces?
00:14:52Never mind that now.
00:14:54But make no mistake about it, you're not welcome here.
00:14:58This was planned for just three people.
00:15:00That's how much food we have.
00:15:02If we divide that among the six of us, we'll soon have empty stomachs and rebellion.
00:15:09I have the keys to the storeroom.
00:15:11I and I alone will say when and how much food we eat.
00:15:16Any argument about that, and I'll settle it with this.
00:15:21Oh, you're a big man, packing that gun.
00:15:25Just don't you let go of it.
00:15:27I don't intend to.
00:15:31Where are you going with that?
00:15:33My brother.
00:15:34Save the food.
00:15:36Your brother's a casualty. Face it.
00:15:39Take it to him.
00:15:41Dad, I've never seen you like this before.
00:15:44We can't become animals.
00:15:46We're still human, and we've got to act like it.
00:15:49It's just what I'm afraid of.
00:15:51We're all human.
00:15:52We're all human.
00:16:06Ranger?
00:16:06How are you doing?
00:16:11I'm not going to die.
00:16:14I thought I was, but I'm not.
00:16:16I know I'm not, no.
00:16:18Well, it's a miracle.
00:16:20You soaked up 700 wrenchings.
00:16:21I don't understand it, but I'm glad.
00:16:24Here, press some deep.
00:16:25I don't want that.
00:16:27I need fresh meat.
00:16:29Raw meat.
00:16:30Well, I'll put your order in with the chef.
00:16:33I don't know, but I think it'll do me good.
00:16:38Well, why don't you wash up and get in some clean clothes, huh?
00:16:41No, no, no water.
00:16:43Just, just let me rest.
00:16:45I'll be okay, just the way I am.
00:16:53You didn't tell me how you two happened to be near this valley yesterday.
00:16:57We're not exactly on the main highway.
00:17:01We were camped on the other side of the lake.
00:17:04That's not too far off the highway.
00:17:06We were on our way to California.
00:17:08Oh, I thought it'd be a kid to sleep out.
00:17:10Yeah, then our old car wouldn't start when we were stranded.
00:17:15You two, uh, married?
00:17:22She's an old friend of a family.
00:17:26Look, kid, you can be a friend of my family any time you want.
00:17:31Jada's a performer, a dancer.
00:17:33I'm her manager.
00:17:38I, uh, I guess it was stuck.
00:17:51Now you know why she can't work with a fan.
00:17:53Nice-looking guy.
00:18:01Your brother?
00:18:03My fiancé.
00:18:06He was supposed to be here yesterday.
00:18:10Oh.
00:18:13We're going to marry him.
00:18:16I'm sorry.
00:18:18Really sorry.
00:18:19What's the matter?
00:18:35Strange.
00:18:39I felt like I heard someone calling.
00:18:43Not really calling.
00:18:45Just something strange.
00:18:47Come on, snap out of it.
00:18:52Let's go to your father's storeroom.
00:18:54See if we can find some canned beef for my brother.
00:18:56Steve, come with me.
00:18:57I want to check the radioactivity outside.
00:19:01Go ahead, Steve.
00:19:02I'll get the canned beef.
00:19:03I'll get the canned beef.
00:19:17How are we doing, John?
00:19:22It's at 49.
00:19:23That's up two since last night.
00:19:28It's as if some magic force is holding those clouds up out of this valley.
00:19:32That's the warm air from the lake.
00:19:34Creates an updraft.
00:19:35Yes, I know.
00:19:37Oh, yes.
00:19:37I told you this morning.
00:19:38I've known about this valley for a long time.
00:19:40Lake, too.
00:19:41Read about it in college, in geology.
00:19:43Oh, you a geologist?
00:19:45Mm-hmm.
00:19:45I work for an oil company about 100 miles south of here.
00:19:49Then you just didn't stumble in here yesterday by accident?
00:19:51No, my brother and I had it here the minute we heard about the bombings.
00:19:57Hmm, smart thinking on your part.
00:20:03Do you know the real force of the atom has never been fully calculated?
00:20:11I think it reaches fulfillment yesterday.
00:20:13Yes, but only as we know it affects our present form of life.
00:20:17Our life as we knew it before this nuclear inferno covered the earth.
00:20:21You think some other form of life could have survived?
00:20:25Well, I'm only saying that its true force has never been fully understood.
00:20:29You're confusing me now, John.
00:20:32Do you remember the H-bomb test at Matsuo some years ago?
00:20:37Sure.
00:20:38I captained one of those ships.
00:20:40Five days after the blast, I towed the animal ship out of target zero.
00:20:44The outside world never had a true account of that test.
00:20:47What are you trying to say, John?
00:20:51Coyote, in the daytime.
00:20:55Hmm, must be a lot of game in this valley now.
00:21:00Contaminated game.
00:21:01Fighting for life just the way we are.
00:21:03All right.
00:21:43What's the matter, Granger?
00:22:01There's a live game outside.
00:22:03I can tell.
00:22:05Yes, we heard a coyote during the day.
00:22:07I can feel it.
00:22:09And I need meat.
00:22:10Granger, that game's contaminated.
00:22:14If you ate that, you'd die.
00:22:16You would die.
00:22:18But not me.
00:22:19I can't eat that canned junk.
00:22:28I've got to have some meat.
00:22:30Fresh, do you hear?
00:22:32That's all you're going to get for a long time.
00:22:36That's what you think.
00:22:38That's just what you think.
00:22:40That's what you think.
00:23:10That's what you think.
00:23:40Why?
00:23:49Three weeks.
00:23:50I thought we'd all be dead by now.
00:23:52Even Granger got out of bed yesterday.
00:23:55Steve, I know he's your brother.
00:23:59But what?
00:24:00Well, he... he gives me a funny feeling.
00:24:07Logically, he should have been dead long ago.
00:24:09But there's no such thing as logic anymore.
00:24:13What's so illogical about my brother?
00:24:15You know as well as I do, he hasn't taken food or water in three weeks.
00:24:19Not since he's been here.
00:24:21He says he doesn't need food.
00:24:23And last night he slipped out of the house and didn't come back until dawn.
00:24:26I don't know.
00:24:29Radiation must have affected his mind.
00:24:31He's a mutation, Steve.
00:24:33Face it.
00:24:34He's a freak of this new atomic world of ours.
00:24:56I'm going outside.
00:25:01For a walk.
00:25:04Well, uh, don't go too far.
00:25:07Stay inside of the house.
00:25:10Why?
00:25:12Because I say so, that's why.
00:25:15Aren't you tired, Grange?
00:25:16You need more sleep.
00:25:18I'm not tired.
00:25:19I'm not afraid of anything out there.
00:25:23In fact, I like it.
00:25:28Would you like to go with me?
00:25:31Well, no.
00:25:32I have things to do.
00:25:34I don't know.
00:25:49I think he's dangerous.
00:26:01No, I don't think so.
00:26:03He should be destroyed.
00:26:09Destroyed?
00:26:10My brother?
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:13For our safety.
00:26:14You can't do that, John.
00:26:16Well, not just because he's my brother, but don't you see?
00:26:17It's important to us that he live.
00:26:20I don't see why.
00:26:23I'm not sure yet.
00:26:25We have to study him.
00:26:35If it doesn't rain in the next few weeks, I think we're going to live.
00:26:38Somehow I knew we wouldn't die.
00:26:40My father always seemed so positive.
00:26:43You know, right after the bombs came, I didn't much care if I lived to die.
00:26:46Don't talk like that.
00:26:47It's true, Joanna.
00:26:53But these past few weeks with you...
00:27:04Now I feel I've got a big reason to live.
00:27:09Me too, Steve.
00:27:10Joanna?
00:27:11Joanna?
00:27:12Joanna?
00:27:27What's wrong?
00:27:28Did I misunderstand?
00:27:31Didn't you hear it?
00:27:32Hear what?
00:27:35Something out there.
00:27:36That strange feeling.
00:27:39Sound.
00:27:39Something.
00:27:40Stronger than the last time I felt it.
00:27:42It's just some harmless animal in the bushes, that's all.
00:27:47No, Steve.
00:27:48It's more.
00:27:50Let's go back in the house, please.
00:27:52Please.
00:27:52Feel me.
00:28:05In a moment...
00:28:08Why are you?
00:30:27We know that even small amounts of radiation can produce change.
00:30:28Now, for some reason a man could survive complete saturation.
00:30:30A thousand generations of change could take place in a matter of weeks.
00:30:37The Matsuo test.
00:30:38What do you mean?
00:30:40Nothing.
00:30:41Go on with your theory.
00:30:42I'm afraid there are more Grangers out here.
00:30:45And even worse than him.
00:30:48All of us have survived more cumulative exposure than we ever thought possible.
00:30:53You mean we all may become like your brother,
00:30:57stalking these woods at night, eating raw meat?
00:31:00It's possible.
00:31:02Any bright theories as to what to do in this situation?
00:31:05No.
00:31:08You know, when my brother couldn't find the answer to something,
00:31:11he looked it up in the Bible.
00:31:13He believed that it held the answers to everything.
00:31:18For I am with thee to save thee and deliver thee,
00:31:22saith the Lord.
00:31:24I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked.
00:31:29I will redeem thee out of the land of the terrible.
00:31:34I had enough of that Bible when I was a kid.
00:31:37Well, it's easy to see it had no effect on you, Mickey.
00:31:44I'm gonna go look for Granger.
00:31:52What was that?
00:31:59Maybe you better tell us what the Bible says about rain.
00:32:03In our situation, we'd better pray that it doesn't rain.
00:32:07Not for weeks, anyway.
00:32:09Because if it does rain in this valley,
00:32:11it'll be coming down through clouds saturated with nuclear death.
00:32:16Maybe we'll be safe, like Noah and the Ark.
00:32:20Right now, there's about forty wrenchings of activity in this room.
00:32:24If it rains, that will move up into the hundreds of wrenchings in a matter of hours.
00:32:29And we'll all be dead.
00:32:31Or like Granger, if we're unlucky.
00:32:35But maybe the updrafts from the lake will hold the clouds back.
00:32:40They will, Dad.
00:32:43We've been lucky so far.
00:32:45We're gonna live.
00:32:46I just feel it.
00:32:47I hope you're right, sweetheart.
00:32:50And if the weather does clear, starting tomorrow,
00:32:53we'll have to go on half rations.
00:32:56How much is half of nothing?
00:32:58I've stored some seeds and grain.
00:33:01And I have books and materials on every craft necessary to sustain life.
00:33:07Mickey Brown, farmer and craftsman.
00:33:12Oh, another thing.
00:33:14We're about out of fresh water.
00:33:16But there's a spring-fed pool.
00:33:18Not so far from the cliffs.
00:33:21Hey, Joanna.
00:33:22Maybe we could take a swim in the pool.
00:33:24Well, if Dad says it's all right.
00:33:26Oh, it's safe.
00:33:27I checked it today.
00:33:29And starting tomorrow, we can all take turns bathing there.
00:33:32Well, I'm telling you one thing.
00:33:34I've taken more baths in the past two months
00:33:38than I have in all my born days together.
00:33:41Hmm.
00:33:42Maybe that's why you're still alive, Tim.
00:33:44Huh?
00:34:04But I don't know what happened.
00:34:06I don't know, I've taken a wiggle room.
00:34:09But I have to go.
00:34:10I've taken my guess that I've taken a wiggle room.
00:34:11Yeah.
00:34:12No, I'm saying that the rain can touch me.
00:34:14Let me see.
00:34:15You're going to go outside get ready?
00:34:16Okay, Grains?
00:34:17Let me see.
00:34:18Craneous rain.
00:34:19Don't let it touch me.
00:34:20Don't let the rain touch me.
00:34:21It's okay, Grains.
00:34:22The clouds aren't going to come in the valley.
00:34:24You're lying to me.
00:34:25It's going to rain.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:27Come on.
00:34:28Come on.
00:34:29Come on.
00:34:30Come on back to the house.
00:34:31Come on. Come on back to the house.
00:34:33It's going to touch me.
00:34:36Grange!
00:34:38Grange, come on back to the house.
00:35:01Grange, come on back.
00:35:32This place is spooky even in the sunshine.
00:35:35It feels great, though.
00:35:37It's so quiet.
00:35:40I'd give anything to hear that downtown traffic again.
00:35:43I didn't realize how isolated it would be from the house.
00:35:52You are good-looking.
00:35:55Clean-cut in that bit.
00:35:58It's something new for Mickey.
00:36:01Mickey?
00:36:03Oh, he's all eyes for you.
00:36:07He hasn't even given me the time of day anymore.
00:36:10I'm not interested in Mickey.
00:36:13Well, he better not be.
00:36:14Otherwise, well, I'd have to make a play for Steve.
00:36:22That would be unfair competition for you, baby.
00:36:25Yes, I see what you mean.
00:36:30Mickey always comes back to Mama.
00:36:35Hey, what's the matter, kid?
00:36:37Somebody's watching us.
00:36:41I can feel it.
00:36:43I didn't hear anything.
00:36:47Something's moving over there in the bushes.
00:36:49Oh, it's probably one of the fellas.
00:36:51It's probably old Timothy.
00:36:53Hey, Timothy!
00:37:03Hurry up.
00:37:04Let's get out of here.
00:37:04Grange is not the only one hunting game.
00:37:23And after they've finished off the game, we'll be next.
00:37:31This place is cursed.
00:37:33Steve, we've got to get rid of your brother.
00:37:36John!
00:37:37He's the only way to find out what we're up against.
00:37:39Don't you see that?
00:37:39The animals on the ship.
00:37:43The Matsuo test.
00:37:44They forewarned of something like this.
00:37:47You know, you keep mentioning that.
00:37:48You're going to keep up the mystery or you're going to tell me about it?
00:37:51Tonight.
00:37:52Back at the house, I'll show you after the others have gone to bed.
00:37:55I have the evidence.
00:38:02What's you looking at?
00:38:04You said I didn't see anything at the pool.
00:38:07You said it was just my imagination.
00:38:09That's right.
00:38:10He just became upset.
00:38:13Steve, somebody was looking at me.
00:38:16Tried to talk to me.
00:38:17What'd he say?
00:38:19Nothing you'd understand.
00:38:22Nothing I'd understand for that matter.
00:38:25Well, you won't go swimming alone in the pool anymore.
00:38:27I'll stand guard.
00:38:31My skin was tingling.
00:38:33My pulse was pounding.
00:38:35You're still upset.
00:38:36Come on, let's go back to the house.
00:38:37Steve.
00:38:39Do you believe in mental telepathy?
00:38:44I'm afraid I'm reading your thoughts, if that's what you mean.
00:38:48What am I thinking?
00:38:51It's not the same way you were thinking about me a few days ago.
00:38:53I'm sorry, Steve.
00:38:59I just feel like I'd like to be alone right now.
00:39:03I'm sorry, too, Joanne.
00:39:05Mickey, don't scare me like that.
00:39:16Mickey, don't scare me like that.
00:39:26I just want to talk to you, that's all.
00:39:28You know, I bet I haven't said a dozen words to you since I got here.
00:39:31Hey, look, what's so bad about me?
00:39:36I don't drink, I don't smoke.
00:39:37And once I even gave some money to a drunken bum.
00:39:40My old man.
00:39:43Come on.
00:39:44Don't give me that hard to get stuff.
00:39:46Come on.
00:39:48Don't.
00:39:49You belong to Jada.
00:39:53I belong to me.
00:39:55Get it?
00:39:56Me.
00:40:06Hey there, buddy.
00:40:08Oh, it's you, Miss Jada.
00:40:10You nearly scared that britches off me.
00:40:12Well, don't do that.
00:40:13Where's your manners?
00:40:14Where's your manners?
00:40:19Care if I tasted some of the best whiskey in these mountains?
00:40:21It is whiskey.
00:40:26Hey, where'd you get it?
00:40:29Made it myself, that's where.
00:40:31I make it by the barrels back in my place.
00:40:40It's awful, Jim.
00:40:43The first taste is never good, Miss Jada.
00:40:46It's that long second one that puts hair on your chest.
00:40:50A little bit.
00:40:59Barry?
00:41:01Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:03Ha, ha, ha.
00:41:03Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:04Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:05Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:06Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:10Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:12Oh, my God.
00:41:42I mean, you won't believe this, but I just saw Granger walk up the mountain trail through that fog, and it didn't faze him.
00:42:05Do you remember anything about the Matsuo bomb test?
00:42:09Well, there were some vague rumors right after that, weren't there?
00:42:12There's something I have to show you.
00:42:16As I told you, my job was to tow the animal ship out of Target Zero.
00:42:22I got the first look at those animals.
00:42:25The newspapers said they were all destroyed.
00:42:27The newspapers lied.
00:42:29Three of those animals lived through it.
00:42:32They lived through an H-bomb?
00:42:33There was a law against taking photographs, but no law against sketching what we'd seen.
00:42:40There were a thousand animals on that ship.
00:42:42Mm-hmm.
00:42:45That was a chipmunk.
00:42:47This was alive?
00:42:49Yes.
00:42:50It lived for three days.
00:42:51Our third survivor was a monkey.
00:43:04Its skin looked like rubber, but it felt more like metal.
00:43:10Unreplated.
00:43:12Nature's answer to complete nuclear radiation.
00:43:14Hey, that's a million years of evolution with one bomb.
00:43:21You say they lived for three days?
00:43:23When we got back to the inspection ship, they were dead.
00:43:26If we could figure out what killed them, it may help us.
00:43:29We never knew.
00:43:31After we washed them down, we went down to inspect.
00:43:34They were normal, except for their appearance.
00:43:38But they refused food and water.
00:43:43New species?
00:43:44Yes.
00:43:46They were the forerunners of whatever it is we have out there.
00:43:51Sometimes I have a feeling of doom.
00:43:55Well, I know this much.
00:43:58There are two forms of life fighting for survival in this valley, and only one can win.
00:44:02John, it's got to be us.
00:44:05You know, I started this thing just to stay alive.
00:44:09But you've given me a deep feeling of responsibility toward the welfare of mankind.
00:44:14Our kind.
00:44:20I think I'll turn in now.
00:44:21Good night, John.
00:44:23Yes.
00:44:25I'll tell the girls the first thing in the morning.
00:44:28Girls?
00:44:29Yes.
00:44:31They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:34Go.
00:44:52Oh, yeah.
00:44:52I think it'll be a little more.
00:44:54I mean, James.
00:44:55говорят, God, where did you live?
00:44:55I think it'll be a little bit easier.
00:44:56But you've got to catch up.
00:44:57Oh, yeah.
00:44:57I think you want to see us as soon as possible.
00:44:58I see us before.
00:44:59And you've got to see selts.
00:45:00It's just free.
00:45:00I think it'll be a little bit easier.
00:45:38Steel!
00:45:42That's enough.
00:45:47Now, Mickey, we've had enough of you.
00:45:49Get your things and get out of this house.
00:45:52You wouldn't do that to an animal, Dad.
00:45:55He stays.
00:45:57Are you all right, love?
00:46:00Get out of my life.
00:46:04Mickey.
00:46:07A sea captain can perform the marriage ceremony in case of an emergency.
00:46:12Joanna, I want you to marry Steve.
00:46:15I want you to have children.
00:46:19There'll be no wedding, Dad.
00:46:21And no children.
00:46:23You have a responsibility to the future.
00:46:26What would Mother say?
00:46:28Your mother?
00:46:29And Larry, what would he say?
00:46:31They're both dead.
00:46:34I'm the only one who knows.
00:46:38Knows?
00:46:39Knows what?
00:46:40Have you been listening to me?
00:46:41Yes, Dad.
00:46:43I'll marry Steve in a week.
00:46:52If he's still alive.
00:46:54And if I am.
00:46:56What are you doing, love?
00:47:11This little gadget's gonna open that storeroom for me.
00:47:17Can you imagine us having a kid?
00:47:24Of course, we won't tell him his mother was an exotic dancer.
00:47:30I wonder what's wrong with Joanna.
00:47:32She goes around in her own little world now.
00:47:34She's flipped.
00:47:35Off the rocker.
00:47:36Maybe we all are.
00:47:37Not me, baby.
00:47:38You still go for her, don't you?
00:47:39You're just plain dirt to her, but you still want her.
00:47:42All I want is a key to open that storeroom.
00:47:45I want a key to open that storeroom.
00:47:48I want a key to open that storeroom.
00:47:50I want a key to open that storeroom.
00:47:53I want a key to open that storeroom.
00:47:58I want a key to open that storeroom.
00:48:01All this time you've been saying it was you and me.
00:48:06But you meant her.
00:48:08You liar.
00:48:10Okay, okay.
00:48:11So I lied a little.
00:48:13A little?
00:48:16The only friend you ever had in this world was me.
00:48:20The only one who ever loved you was me.
00:48:22M.E.
00:48:23Me.
00:48:24Now listen, you deep hood.
00:48:27Present from the hood, lover.
00:48:30Lover.
00:48:31Now beat it.
00:48:33I want to finish this key.
00:48:35We can't go up there for at least two more months.
00:48:40Then we're running out of supplies.
00:48:43Only enough for about two more weeks.
00:48:45Only enough for about two more weeks.
00:49:13To be continued.
00:49:15I'd rather have to finish this key.
00:49:21To be continued.
00:49:23All right.
00:49:24To be continued.
00:49:26Don't touch him.
00:49:49He's hot.
00:49:52Food.
00:49:53They wouldn't give me any.
00:49:58They?
00:49:59There's more of you up there?
00:50:04Stronger.
00:50:07Much stronger.
00:50:09How many?
00:50:10How many more?
00:50:16Stronger.
00:50:18Food.
00:50:23He won't be needing food now, poor devil.
00:50:30Look at the head.
00:50:31The strange bone structure.
00:50:33It's like those animals at Matsuo.
00:50:36And the same mutated skin the animals had.
00:50:39And more like him up there.
00:50:43Stronger.
00:50:43Stage two, this one.
00:50:48Stage three, stronger.
00:50:49Stage four, maybe invulnerable.
00:50:52How about stage one?
00:50:54Who's that?
00:50:55That's Granger.
00:50:56My brother is stage one.
00:50:58Oh, God.
00:50:59Oh, God.

00:58:25Tim!
00:58:41Tim, don't.
00:58:47Don't go into that fog.
00:58:55You'll be killed, sure.
00:59:16John!
00:59:37Steve!
00:59:39What happened?
00:59:41Oh, I sprained my ankle.
00:59:43Where's Tim?
00:59:45Back up over the cliff.
00:59:48He went back to his whiskey still.
00:59:51Did you go after him?
00:59:55Into that vapor?
00:59:57How long are we up there?
01:00:00A minute, an hour.
01:00:02What difference does it make?
01:00:04Steve, I've had the course.
01:00:06Well, come on.
01:00:07We'll get you washed up.
01:00:11Don't tell Joanna.
01:00:12I've just got a sprained ankle, understand?
01:00:15Sure, John.
01:00:16Come on.
01:00:17Let's get back to the house.
01:00:19He's dead.
01:00:20Believe me, Steve.
01:00:21It's better this way.
01:00:25Poor Granger.
01:00:26Now my whole family's gone.
01:00:27No, Steve.
01:00:28You and Joanna are the new family now.
01:00:31Perhaps for the whole human race.
01:00:32You and Joanna are the new family now.
01:00:33Perhaps for the whole human race.
01:00:38Look at those punctures.
01:00:43It's like three steel quads.
01:00:49Now my whole family's gone.
01:00:51No, Steve.
01:00:52You and Joanna are the new family now.
01:00:56Perhaps for the whole human race.
01:01:01Look at those punctures.
01:01:04It's like...
01:01:05like three steel claws.
01:01:09Steel claws.
01:01:12It's like the hand of the monkey in your drawings.
01:01:17Matsuo.
01:01:18ALEC.
01:01:19ALEC.
01:01:47Steve!
01:01:48What is it, Joanna?
01:01:51In there, in the bushes.
01:01:53Where?
01:01:54What is it?
01:01:55Someone was calling to me.
01:01:57That's just your imagination.
01:01:58I was 40 feet away from you and I didn't hear a thing.
01:02:01Oh, please, Steve, take me home.
01:02:03Please.
01:02:03Please.
01:02:17Joanna insists this thing tried to talk to her.
01:02:20How about the way it looked?
01:02:23She said it looked like an ape.
01:02:26The sketches of Matsuo, the monkey.
01:02:29But this thing is man-sized.
01:02:31It means it's a man, not an ape.
01:02:34How do we fight it?
01:02:35How do we kill it?
01:02:38You're the one who said we'd come up with an answer.
01:02:41But how?
01:02:42It eats contaminated flesh, breathes contaminated air.
01:02:45The things that kill a man, it thrives on.
01:02:49What's the point?
01:02:50You're driving at something.
01:02:52Just that in order to kill it, we must first understand it.
01:02:56Now, we know it has fears.
01:02:57It was close enough to Joanna to attack her,
01:02:59but it wouldn't follow her into the pool.
01:03:03It's like, you know, but there's no kind of niche.
01:03:05I'm going to fall back and eat.
01:03:06It's not necessarily, no one is in the pool.
01:03:07I'm not in the pool.
01:03:39Don't scream. I mean it.
01:03:46What do you want?
01:03:48I've never had time for your kind of woman.
01:03:51You're something new in my life.
01:03:53No. No.
01:03:56Well, you won't hate me when there's just the two of us.
01:03:57There'd be no point to it.
01:03:58They can get what I mean.
01:03:59No. No.
01:04:01Mickey.
01:04:02No.
01:04:03Mickey.
01:04:04Let the kid alone.
01:04:09Joanna, go back to the house.
01:04:13I have a few words for this child molester here.
01:04:18You don't know when you're through, do you?
01:04:20You said the two of us, but all along you met her.
01:04:27Yeah, that's right. Now you know.
01:04:30You and your dime store stuff.
01:04:33You're cheap. A cheapie.
01:04:35I didn't know how cheap you are till I met her.
01:04:38She hates your guts.
01:04:43You're cheap to her.
01:04:45She'd rather kill herself first.
01:04:51Come on.
01:04:52Let's not fight like a couple of kids.
01:05:00Let's go take a moonlight swim, huh?
01:05:03Beat it.
01:05:04I don't want any part of you.
01:05:06Let's go.
01:06:36Well, we decided to come back to John.
01:06:50Mm-hmm.
01:07:02Oh, baby.
01:07:04Oh, baby.
01:07:05Oh, baby.
01:07:06Oh, baby.
01:07:07Oh, baby.
01:07:08Oh, baby.
01:07:09Oh, baby.
01:07:11Oh, baby.
01:07:12Oh, my God.
01:07:42What's the gun for, Captain?
01:07:58Where's Jada?
01:08:00Well, we had a little beef.
01:08:02She didn't come back.
01:08:04Stayed outside to cool off, I guess.
01:08:06Okay, Mickey.
01:08:08I got something to settle with you.
01:08:09Tomorrow, maybe I'm beat right now.
01:08:11You go next to Joanne again, and I'm going to kill you.
01:08:13Kill me?
01:08:15I haven't had a laugh all day.
01:08:21Why he was spared by the bombs, I'll never know.
01:08:25He'll kill you, Steve.
01:08:27Get him first.
01:08:28Now.
01:08:30Here, take this.
01:08:31Just sneak up on Mickey and empty it into him, huh?
01:08:39John, you know me better than that.
01:08:42It's the same feeling that made you go up the mountain for Tim.
01:08:45But there's so much at stake.
01:08:47At least carry a gun.
01:08:49Here.
01:08:51Get one.
01:08:52Out of the storeroom.
01:08:54Get it now.
01:08:56And be ready to use it.
01:08:57How long before a guy can get out of here?
01:09:09As far as I'm concerned, you can leave now.
01:09:15You know, all this reminds me of that kid song.
01:09:17Ten little Indians.
01:09:19That guy knocked off one at a time.
01:09:23Same way with us.
01:09:24First, there was seven.
01:09:26Now there's...
01:09:28Now there's...
01:09:31Three little, two little, one little Indian.
01:09:35Then there was nine.
01:09:38Try that again.
01:09:40Please, try that again.
01:09:43Not me, Captain.
01:09:45I know when to coot.
01:09:47Like right now.
01:09:48Three little, two little, one little Indian.
01:09:54Mm-hmm.
01:09:55Mm-hmm.
01:10:24Mm-hmm.
01:10:54Mm-hmm.
01:11:24Mm-hmm.
01:11:54Mm-hmm.
01:12:24Mm-hmm.
01:12:54Mm-hmm.
01:12:55Mm-hmm.
01:12:59Joanna!
01:13:00Joanna!
01:13:01I heard her screaming, but she's not in her room.
01:13:04I have a strange feeling.
01:13:06She's in danger, Steve.
01:13:08The thing.
01:13:09The thing out there has got my baby.
01:13:11I'm going after her.
01:13:12Wait.
01:13:13There's a special Luger in the storeroom with a 30-round magazine.
01:13:17Get it.
01:13:18Get it.
01:13:19Steve.
01:13:20Put your revolver under my pillow.
01:13:22You won't need it.
01:13:24If there's no other way, use that Luger on Joanna.
01:13:30Joanna!
01:13:39Joanna!
01:13:40Now, that's better, Captain.
01:13:47Now, that's better, Captain.
01:14:09If there's two men and only one gun, I'd like to have it.
01:14:13Looks like your ship's falling apart, don't it?
01:14:17Well, you've been no help.
01:14:20You wouldn't find Jada.
01:14:22You wouldn't help Steve look for Joanna, why you're lower than scum.
01:14:28I'm a coward.
01:14:30I only fight when I have to, and on my own conditions.
01:14:33And one of them is that I know what I'm fighting.
01:14:41Joanna!
01:14:42Three little, two little, one little Indian.
01:14:52You know, you're a sucker.
01:14:54I know you went after old Tim, into that fog.
01:14:57Kill yourself with that worthless old coot.
01:15:01Oh, that's why you're acting so brave.
01:15:04That's why you're moving in.
01:15:06Moving in?
01:15:07Oh.
01:15:10I'm taking over the works, the house, your daughter.
01:15:16If she gets back, I'd make a better old man for her kids than Steve Wood.
01:15:21They'd be tough, like me.
01:15:23It looks like it will rain after all.
01:15:29You still think that rain will kill us all?
01:15:32You'll know soon enough.
01:15:34You'll know soon enough.
01:15:38Help!
01:15:39Joanna!
01:15:40Joanna!
01:15:41Joanna!
01:15:49Joana!
01:16:19Here, Steve!
01:16:41Over here!
01:16:48The water!
01:16:50It's afraid of the water!
01:16:55There's your rain, Captain.
01:17:02How long do you think we'll live now?
01:17:09Well, here, get me a sample of the rainwater and I'll test it.
01:17:47Why?
01:17:49It doesn't register.
01:17:52That's pure water.
01:17:54Well, what do you know?
01:17:57Just plain old rainwater.
01:18:00That's it.
01:18:03Water.
01:18:04It's afraid of water.
01:18:07Joana and Steve may be safe.
01:18:09What's afraid, Captain?
01:18:11You cracking up on me?
01:18:13Don't you see, you idiot?
01:18:15That thing out there.
01:18:16That atomic fiend.
01:18:17It's afraid of pure water.
01:18:19That's why it wouldn't go in the pool.
01:18:22What are you thinking in that sick mind of yours?
01:18:29Simple.
01:18:30I'm gonna shoot Steve right between the eyes.
01:18:36In God's name.
01:18:37Why?
01:18:38Well, I thought you knew, smart man.
01:18:43I want Joana.
01:18:44I don't hear it anymore.
01:18:45Hear what?
01:18:46The weird sound.
01:18:47Yeah.
01:18:48What are you mean by my butt?
01:18:50What are you thinking in that sick mind of yours?
01:18:52Simple.
01:18:53I'm gonna shoot Steve right between the eyes.
01:18:56In God's name.
01:18:58Why?
01:18:59Well, I thought you knew, smart man.
01:19:03I want Joana.
01:19:07I don't hear it anymore.
01:19:08Hear what?
01:19:09The weird sound.
01:19:12He tried to speak to me.
01:19:19Steve, it was Larry.
01:19:23What killed him?
01:19:26He was created to live in a contaminated atmosphere.
01:19:30I guess the rain must be pure.
01:19:33He couldn't stand it.
01:19:36I guess that means that all the other people like Larry will be killed by the rain, too.
01:19:40Then there is a future.
01:19:42Yes, Joanna.
01:19:49Mickey!
