Transcript

00:00:00Those who hunt by night will tell you that the wildest and most vicious of all animals

00:00:10is the tiny shrew.

00:00:12The shrew feeds only by the dark of the moon.

00:00:17He must eat his own body weight every few hours or starve.

00:00:22And the shrew devours everything, bones, flesh, marrow, everything.

00:00:31In March, first in Alaska and then invading steadily southward,

00:00:38there were reports of a new species, the giant killer shrew.

00:02:15there's a cove on the lee side though we'll snuggle up close to the bluff and ride it out

00:02:22what about the bottom well the chart shows it's good holding ground it's clay

00:02:27you know something if this thing had an automatic pilot i wouldn't have to put up with you

00:02:35then you wouldn't have no battery to chew out

00:02:37we should be there in a couple of hours these mills of yours keep running

00:02:43look automatic pilots can't play dixieland jazz on the minions like i can

00:02:48hey rook rook come here

00:03:01take a look there she is dead ahead

00:03:07man that sure do look good

00:03:15man named craggers owns this island doesn't he that's the name on the crate dr milo craggers

00:03:21we'll unload tomorrow i don't want this crap sitting high in that water when that blow hits

00:03:25you're going to ride stern too with a lot of water under that's right

00:03:28that sea won't make up in that cold that wind will have her whipping around like a kite

00:03:32step forward and break out the heavy weather hook

00:03:36check with make sure it's free to run

00:03:38i'll mount the shaft

00:03:38good

00:03:39good

00:04:01good

00:04:02good

00:04:16good

00:04:20good

00:04:20oh she'll ride like a duck

00:04:21she swings too far to starboard we might have to take a check line to shore

00:04:26hey rook

00:04:27take a slant up that trail

00:04:28Now, that's a rather strange set-up, wouldn't you say?

00:04:35Looks like somebody's getting rid of somebody, huh, Captain?

00:04:39Maybe. Hard to tell.

00:04:58I'm Dr. Craig.

00:05:00Thorne Sherman. I have your supplies aboard.

00:05:03That's good. Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson, I hope.

00:05:06Well, I wouldn't know. I just bought his run.

00:05:10Oh, I see. Were you able to fill our order?

00:05:14Everything on the list. Here's the manifest.

00:05:17Missing last week's supply has drawn us a little short, you know.

00:05:21Captain, after you have unloaded, I have a passenger for you.

00:05:25And?

00:05:25Captain Sherman, this is my daughter, Anne Craig.

00:05:31Hello. So you're the passenger?

00:05:33That's right, Captain.

00:05:35Oh, it's going to be nice having you aboard.

00:05:38I'm getting a little tired looking at Griswold.

00:05:40But we're, uh, we're not leaving today.

00:05:47In fact, we're not even unloading.

00:05:51That load will cut the roll in half.

00:05:55Are you expecting an invasion?

00:05:58Yes, animals.

00:06:00Game or otherwise?

00:06:02There are certain conditions that could be dangerous.

00:06:09Hey, Rook, do you want to shake the kinks out?

00:06:11Limber up a little?

00:06:13Not me, Captain Blight.

00:06:14You go right ahead and stretch your legs.

00:06:16That ship's going to be bugging like a bug in Bronx for long.

00:06:18Besides, I got some work left to do.

00:06:20If you do come ashore, wear a gun.

00:06:24Got you, Captain.

00:06:24I got you.

00:06:28I got you.

00:06:34I got you.

00:06:39When I told you about the hurricane, you acted like you didn't know anything about it.

00:06:59What's the matter? You're set broken down?

00:07:01You've been out of communication for more than a week, Captain.

00:07:05Can't it be fixed?

00:07:06It's totally out of commission.

00:07:09My assistant, Mr. Ferrell, Jerry Ferrell.

00:07:21Father, perhaps the Captain would enjoy a drink.

00:07:24Well, of course.

00:07:27Will you join us in a cocktail?

00:07:28Well, I've never been known to turn down a drink yet.

00:07:31I'll be glad to accept.

00:07:33Fine.

00:07:34In that case, we'll have Martinez.

00:07:36Mario?

00:07:37Si, senor.

00:07:38Mix them, please.

00:07:44Right this way, Captain.

00:07:46Come in.

00:07:46We have everything here you need?

00:08:08We are self-sufficient here.

00:08:12We have cows for fresh milk, chickens for fresh eggs.

00:08:16We even have saddle horses.

00:08:18Sort of a world all your own.

00:08:19That's exactly what I've tried to create.

00:08:21Well, they each his own.

00:08:24If you have to be isolated for your work, you've picked a lonely little island.

00:08:29Excuse me, please.

00:08:30I think I'll change.

00:08:31I'll change.

00:08:31She's a little worried because you aren't leaving until tomorrow.

00:08:42I can understand that.

00:08:45There's something else bothering her.

00:08:46Rathford.

00:09:01Rathford.

00:09:03Rathford, would you please step over here?

00:09:04I'd like you to meet someone.

00:09:06Just a second, Doctor.

00:09:09Go on for hours.

00:09:11Dr. Bain.

00:09:14There's no need to shop, Doctor.

00:09:15I'm right here.

00:09:16I'd like you to meet Captain Thorne Sherman.

00:09:19This is my other assistant, Rathford Bain.

00:09:21How do you do?

00:09:23Two new litters since lunch, Doctor.

00:09:25Both support GT-116.

00:09:27That's good, but the...

00:09:29We can breed them to the 205 group in about three weeks.

00:09:32But I'd prefer to wait and expose about half of them to the Hoskins factor first.

00:09:37If you agree.

00:09:40Good idea.

00:09:42Do you know there's a hurricane coming?

00:09:47Well, I don't suppose there's much we can do about that.

00:09:50Glad to meet you.

00:09:53Sherman wasn't?

00:10:00You have to excuse Rathford.

00:10:02Anything that does not concern his project does not get through to him.

00:10:06Brilliant mind.

00:10:08He would start it if someone didn't remind him to eat.

00:10:10Must be very interesting work.

00:10:11What's his field?

00:10:13Biology.

00:10:14He specialized in genetics, heredity.

00:10:16I'm afraid my interest doesn't run in that line, you know.

00:10:19Think what would happen if he could isolate and identify the inherited factor in each gene.

00:10:24Now, wait a minute.

00:10:25I'm afraid I'm not very good with pure research.

00:10:28This is practical research.

00:10:31Generally, among mammals, the smaller the size, the higher the metabolism, and the shorter the lifespan.

00:10:36Is that right?

00:10:37Well, I'm attempting to decrease the size while maintaining a low metabolism, and resultant,

00:10:43a longer lifespan.

00:10:44What reason?

00:10:45Overpopulation.

00:10:49Another problem now, but it will be in time.

00:10:57If we were half as big as we are now, we could live twice as long on our natural resources.

00:11:04Father, may I speak with you a moment?

00:11:05Will you please excuse us, Captain?

00:11:09Well, providing you drop the Captain, I prefer to thaw him.

00:11:12Tell me something, Doctor.

00:11:28Has a hurricane ever hit this island before that you know of?

00:11:32I wouldn't know.

00:11:34You've only been here nine months, and this place has been unoccupied for years.

00:11:37Well, have you ever been through one?

00:11:38Only the fringes.

00:11:42Well, this one's building up very fast.

00:11:44Pressure drops very quickly in the center.

00:11:45I'd advise you to get some doors and windows open in this place.

00:11:52Ventilators on the roof.

00:11:54And if you'll freshen Anne's drink, I'll go and check them.

00:11:57I'd be happy to.

00:11:59Thank heavens, you're right today.

00:12:02Why, are rations getting short?

00:12:03No, it's more than that.

00:12:05Much more.

00:12:07We'll surely be able to sail tomorrow, won't we?

00:12:09Possibly.

00:12:11But not probable.

00:12:12Not too late, anyway.

00:12:14Takes a long time for a sea like that to quiet down.

00:12:17Well, if you're worrying about me, you need it.

00:12:19I'm a good sailor.

00:12:21Well, I'm not worried about you.

00:12:24We'll sail when the time's right.

00:12:25Got them opened, all right.

00:12:27Oh, Captain, let me freshen you a drink.

00:12:32One for the road.

00:12:34I'm trying to rush you, but it will be dark soon.

00:12:37I've invited Thorne for dinner, Father.

00:12:42Oh, I see.

00:12:45If you're not worried about your ship, you're welcome.

00:12:49I'll take a rainjack on that dinner, if you wish.

00:12:51Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.

00:12:53Oh, progress, Doctor.

00:13:00This is the sole survivor of Group 30.

00:13:0328 months old today.

00:13:06Well, that's equivalent to 140 years to us.

00:13:09That's right.

00:13:10Yet it still maintains low metabolism without any sluggishness.

00:13:16Not the breakthrough, but it certainly sets our course.

00:13:19Ratfoot, suspend series 52 through 96, and we'll concentrate on the rest.

00:13:28What is that?

00:13:28It's a Sorex Soricidine.

00:13:31Looks like a small rat.

00:13:34Smells like a skunk.

00:13:36They have musklans in their knees.

00:13:39These little fellows are our subjects.

00:13:40They have a birth cycle of 10 to 14 days, and using them, we can establish traits.

00:13:48We can trace the progressions through a number of generations over a short period of time.

00:13:53Well, how big do they get?

00:13:57That's an adult.

00:13:57See, the muzzle is longer and thicker than the rats.

00:14:04It extends over the lower mandible.

00:14:05See?

00:14:06Does he bite?

00:14:08Only when he's hungry.

00:14:09Well, maybe you better take him.

00:14:10He doesn't know me.

00:14:12All he knows is his next meal.

00:14:16He's just been fed.

00:14:18He'll be all right for another eight hours.

00:14:20They shut the blue open.

00:14:25Bradford.

00:14:26I got it, senor.

00:14:30Let that scare you.

00:14:31It's going to get worse.

00:14:33Storms always threaten her, ever since she was a child.

00:14:46They're not climbers.

00:14:48They're digging animals.

00:14:50They eat a lot like a mole.

00:14:53They feed only at night unless they're starving.

00:14:56And when they are hungry enough, they'll tackle anything regardless of size.

00:15:01I'm kidding.

00:15:02If you leave two of them in a cage for 12 hours without food, the stronger will eat the weaker.

00:15:08Like cannibals.

00:15:09Precisely.

00:15:10You see, their intense activity requires a tremendous amount of energy.

00:15:15To supply, they must eat three-time bone weight in food every 24 hours or starve.

00:15:24Bradford.

00:15:25Bradford.

00:15:26Bradford.

00:15:26Would you please take this?

00:15:28Take it.

00:15:29Hey, hey.

00:15:30Hey.

00:15:35Some call them bone eaters.

00:15:38When the flesh is gone, they'll eat the bones for marrow.

00:15:41And all they'll leave are teeth, horns, hooves.

00:15:44I could use another martini, do you mind?

00:15:47Of course, my dear.

00:15:48I'll get you one.

00:15:49Mario.

00:16:01Mario.

00:16:02Mario.

00:16:03Mario.

00:16:05Aquí, por favor.

00:16:08Mario, we'll show it to the bathroom.

00:16:09We'll freshen up a bit.

00:16:11Hierby el señor Albano.

00:16:13Si, señor.

00:16:14Siganme, por favor.

00:16:15Excuse me.

00:16:19Aquí, señor.

00:16:32Aquí, señor.

00:16:49You got a problem, too?

00:16:56¿Qué paso?

00:16:57Nada.

00:16:58Nothing, señor.

00:17:00But you will leave on the ship tomorrow.

00:17:03Well, I think that all depends on the wind and the sea, don't you?

00:17:06Si.

00:17:07Si, señor.

00:17:10I don't know.

00:17:13Ah, you're me joking.

00:17:15I feel the point.

00:17:16I see.

00:17:18Well, I'm glad to hear that.

00:17:20Now, if anybody else is concerned about my sailing tomorrow, why, you see, they feel the point,

00:17:24too, huh?

00:17:25I don't like to repeat myself.

00:17:27Okay, señor.

00:17:28I don't like to repeat myself.

00:17:58I know, but I'm not saying that you created them, Jerry.

00:18:04I am saying that because of your drunkest stupidity in leaving the cage door open, you created

00:18:10the horrible situation that now exists.

00:18:12Look, Ann, this is a mistake any one of us might have made.

00:18:16I'm getting a little sick of being called an irresponsible drunk.

00:18:21Now, believe me, I am.

00:18:22Excuse me.

00:18:28Excuse me.

00:18:40Care for a cigarette?

00:18:41Thanks.

00:18:41Thank heavens you arrived today.

00:18:44You said that before.

00:18:45What's the strain?

00:18:46I don't know if I'm sorry.

00:18:48Please excuse me.

00:18:49But it seems like everything is coming to a head at once.

00:18:52I want to leave, but I want my father to go with me.

00:18:55Well, then, why doesn't he?

00:18:59We've discussed it many times, but he's adamant.

00:19:03I'm sure Jerry has a lot to do with his decision.

00:19:09He tried to convince me that the crisis will only last for a few...

00:19:13Well, this is certainly a cozy little scene.

00:19:23Might even be called intimate.

00:19:25Boy meets girl when all...

00:19:26Stop it, Jerry.

00:19:27That remark is uncalled for.

00:19:29What I do or have to say does not concern you.

00:19:32I can't disagree with you more, my dear.

00:19:34I'm concerned with everything you do, and I intend to keep it that way.

00:19:38Now, in my book, an engagement isn't a casual thing.

00:19:40In my book, it isn't either, and last night ended ours.

00:20:10I'm llegó.

00:20:15It's about 20 years old.

00:20:15It's about 30 years old.

00:20:18I'm six.

00:20:20It's about 30 years old.

00:20:24It's about 25 years old.

00:20:39I'm Steve.

00:20:39We're going to talk his time.

00:20:40Help! Help!

00:20:46Stop the car!

00:20:47Somebody help!

00:20:49Help! Stop the car!

00:20:58Be reasonable.

00:21:00Everybody in the world is scared to death of something.

00:21:03That's evident.

00:21:04When they came at us last night,

00:21:05you knocked me down getting inside the fence.

00:21:07It's just that I can't stand them.

00:21:09And I've discovered something I can't stand.

00:21:13All right.

00:21:14But I advise you not to mention them to anyone.

00:21:17I'm going to complete these experiments with your father regardless of anything.

00:21:21Do you understand that?

00:21:22Nobody is going to take this chance away from me.

00:21:28That's Captain Sherman.

00:21:30Checking the weather. I'll get him.

00:21:36Captain, time for dinner.

00:21:39What?

00:21:49Help.

00:21:57It's no time topress.....

00:22:00In fact, don't Không dare love it.

00:22:02Let's go.

00:22:02I'll take it...

00:22:03Let's go.

00:22:04No!

00:22:34Well, I miss as good as a mile, I'll wish, eh?

00:22:37You know, if one of those trees crashes through, it might just knock the...

00:22:40Well, if any tree on this side of the house will fall away from it, so just relax.

00:22:44But I think I'd better go back aboard.

00:22:47I don't think I'm not grateful for your hospitality. I am.

00:22:50I'll see you tomorrow.

00:22:51Thorne, your ship is safe.

00:22:53Please, stay here with me.

00:22:56Why? You scared or lonesome?

00:22:59Both.

00:23:01I'll take a rain check on it.

00:23:03Thorne, you can't leave.

00:23:06No one opens that gate after dark.

00:23:09Well, who's gonna stop me? You?

00:23:12Well, this.

00:23:14No one opens that gate at night.

00:23:20Now, look, I don't ask questions because it's against my principles.

00:23:24Wouldn't you like to explain that?

00:23:27All right. Sit down and I will.

00:23:29Give me the gun.

00:23:31Not very becoming, anyway.

00:23:33Do you believe in fairy tales?

00:23:35Well, I'm a little old for that sort of thing, but what do you have in mind?

00:23:40Well, I'll tell you about one.

00:23:42A true fairy tale. And you're right in the middle of it.

00:23:45Oh?

00:23:46Have you ever heard of a shrew?

00:23:49As in taming of the...

00:23:50No, the animal.

00:23:51Bradford called them Saurits, Seresity, when he showed you one.

00:23:54Oh, then shrew must be the common name for those cute little animals.

00:23:57Cute?

00:23:58That's the last word you can use to describe those little monsters.

00:24:02They're the most horrible animals on the face of the earth.

00:24:05As father told you, they breed within three weeks after birth.

00:24:08Their lifespan is around one year.

00:24:09Yeah, yeah. I know what your father told me, but what's that got to do with me opening that gate?

00:24:12There are two or three hundred giant shrews out there. Monsters weighing between fifty and a hundred pounds.

00:24:25Fifty to a hundred? Wait a minute, you must be kidding.

00:24:30I'm definitely not kidding.

00:24:33That's as big as a full-grown wolf.

00:24:36And what's more, they are beginning to starve.

00:24:41No wonder you didn't want me to go out there.

00:24:45Thanks for saving my skin.

00:24:47Well, I'm sorry I had to threaten you with a gun.

00:24:50But I didn't know how else to starve you.

00:24:52Oh, it was very effective.

00:24:54But all you had to do was tell me about them.

00:24:56Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to.

00:24:59But you changed everything when you started to leave.

00:25:01And I had to starve you some way.

00:25:04You say there's two or three hundred out there?

00:25:08Ann!

00:25:10That's right, Captain Thorne.

00:25:16And if you'd stuck with your rowboat and played captain instead of trying to play detective, you wouldn't have to worry about how many are out there, would you?

00:25:23That's enough, Jerry.

00:25:31What's wrong, Ann?

00:25:32Thorne decided to leave.

00:25:34To dissuade him, I started to tell him about their shoes.

00:25:37You might as well know the whole story, it's half of it.

00:25:47I guess we're all a little jumpy, Captain.

00:25:49Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:25:50Six months ago, we managed to isolate the Pacta controlling size.

00:25:56Two leaders were born.

00:25:58Six individuals we kept to study.

00:26:01They were about the size of Buckshot at birth.

00:26:04But the rate of growth was abnormal.

00:26:08They continued to grow.

00:26:10They were mutants.

00:26:12But they inherited all the negative characteristics of their breed.

00:26:16Somehow they managed to escape.

00:26:17But a month later, we saw one of the offspring.

00:26:29They were multiplying.

00:26:32We did everything in the world to exterminate them, but no apparent luck.

00:26:39Then we haven't seen any.

00:26:41Since daylight neither blinds them and they forage only at night.

00:26:45And they're starving.

00:26:49But the fact that two of them charged Ann and Jerry at the gate last evening

00:26:53indicates that the available food on the island is needing depletion.

00:27:03Then what, Doctor?

00:27:05They will exterminate each other.

00:27:07It'll take a couple days.

00:27:09What do we do during that time?

00:27:11Stay indoors and wait until it's over.

00:27:17Probably get some wires blew down on the transformer.

00:27:20I'm sorry.

00:27:21I'll get some lamps.

00:27:24Mario!

00:27:26Mario!

00:27:28There's a lantern in the pantry. Light it and bring it in here.

00:27:34Radford, light all the candles you can find.

00:27:36All right, I will.

00:27:37Where's the generator?

00:27:38Outside.

00:27:39Can't get at it at night.

00:27:43Here, let me help you.

00:27:45The lantern will give you all the light you need.

00:27:48I will join you shortly, Jerry.

00:27:51Well, Jerry, I felt she was sincere and made sense from her standpoint.

00:28:08Wanting her father to leave the island with her makes sense?

00:28:11It would be much better for the project if I went with her for a few days.

00:28:18As a matter of fact, I think I'll talk to Doctor about that.

00:28:20That might be the answer.

00:28:22And another thing, I don't take much to this Thorn Sherman.

00:28:25He looks to me like the type that would try anything.

00:28:31That left-handed dinner invitation.

00:28:33That was just to keep me here till after dark, wasn't it?

00:28:34I wanted you here tonight.

00:28:43I thought something terrible was going to happen.

00:28:46Do you still feel the same way about it?

00:28:48Not as much.

00:28:49Not since you're here.

00:28:50I know everything.

00:28:51I love an open fire, don't you?

00:28:52Mm-hmm.

00:28:53The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?

00:28:56It sure does.

00:28:58Like in Sweden we don't have a wind this strong.

00:28:59Like in Sweden we don't have a wind this strong.

00:29:02I love an open fire, don't you?

00:29:05Mm-hmm.

00:29:06The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?

00:29:11Sure does.

00:29:15Like in Sweden we don't have a wind this strong.

00:29:18Like in Sweden, we don't have a wind this strong.

00:29:23strong. You're a strange man, Lord. I never met anyone like you. Oh? You seem so disinterested

00:29:36in everything. Aren't you the least bit curious? Don't you wonder about the unusual things

00:29:43around here? The guns, the fence, the shattered windows, my accent, anything? I'll tell you

00:29:52something. I'm only interested in anything that concerns me, then I do something about

00:29:57it. You're going to sail with me tomorrow, whether your father intends to me or not.

00:30:13Thor, no! Thor, there's Brad! Up there!

00:30:22I don't think he was going out, Jerry. I couldn't take a chance. He's fool enough

00:30:29to. Don't be stupid. I had no intentions of going out there, opening that gate. Now

00:30:34somebody needed it. Did you hear it, Doctor? It sounded like a human voice. I was thinking

00:30:40a rook. It was the livestock. The shrews got into the barn.

00:30:44What was it, Father? The livestock. Did Mario forget to borrow those doors? No. I put

00:31:05them in the barn myself. I couldn't get through the wood doors. They dug through the dirt floor.

00:31:12Let me ask you something, Doctor. How could you expose all our lives, yourself included,

00:31:18with those things out there? All you had to do was get the Coast Guard or the Navy to come

00:31:22in here and burn them out. Those things got loose.

00:31:25Any unusual experiment can produce unusual results. That's why I chose this island. It's isolated.

00:31:33Miles of open water in any direction. Our project is privately financed. It's not a problem for the

00:31:43government or military. The world is no danger. His species does not swim. And as far as the shrews are concerned,

00:31:54this island is their world. Very soon, right here on this island, there's going to be a miniature reproduction

00:32:04of an overpopulated world. And you'll see the importance of what we're working to avoid.

00:32:10I'm not concerned about all this theory. What I'm concerned about is our lives. There'll be ample time

00:32:15to panic when they run out of food and go on a 24-hour forage. How do you know they haven't already?

00:32:21That's possible. Their main diet has been the small animals on the island. That source could have been

00:32:27depleted 18 or 20 hours ago. And that's why they went after the livestock. There's still some food on this

00:32:35island before they reach the crisis. Where? No worry about them digging in here. The floors are tile.

00:32:47But the walls aren't docked here. They're adobe. Our safest bet would be on that boat. You may be right.

00:32:55We can reach your boat in daylight. The shrews will gorge themselves on livestock.

00:33:00Don't you keep the lethargy for several hours? There's no sense looking at the dark side.

00:33:07And there's no sense minimizing a serious situation. It leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it.

00:33:14Well, we certainly can't make it tonight. That's out of the question. Maybe tomorrow.

00:33:21I haven't. We'll get some sleep tonight. But we'll have a watch. An hour and a half apiece.

00:33:26Dr. Hugo first and then Radford. Mario, Jerry and then me. Shutter all the windows. Make sure they're locked

00:33:33good and tight. Check all these walls. Come on. No, I think I'll stay here by the fire. I feel safer.

00:33:43I couldn't stand it in that room alone. All right. As you wish. But try to get some sleep.

00:33:56What's up?

00:34:09You don't want to be, I'm feeling good.

00:34:13You don't want to be, I'm not there.

00:34:17You don't want to be.

00:34:19Mr. Farrell, here is Mario.

00:34:32You are next to make the patrol, no?

00:34:34Sure, Mario. Come on in.

00:34:38I've been waiting for you to finish.

00:34:41I must have dozed off. You kind of startled me.

00:34:45Sit down.

00:34:47Here.

00:34:49Have a drink. It will help you to relax.

00:34:51Gracias, señor.

00:34:53Sit down.

00:34:56Just a while.

00:34:59You just checked every room in the house, didn't you?

00:35:03Sí.

00:35:04Fine.

00:35:06You're a good man, Mario.

00:35:09A man that can be trusted.

00:35:11You know what I've been thinking about, Mario?

00:35:22Ann and that captain?

00:35:27You and me.

00:35:30Imagine an intelligent girl like her going for a common sea trap like him.

00:35:41I know why.

00:35:45You do, too.

00:35:46In case anything goes wrong, she's looking out for her own hide.

00:35:51That's why I keep thinking about you and me.

00:35:55Anything goes wrong, we're going to outlast them all.

00:36:04I'm going to trust you to take my turn of patrolling the house.

00:36:24But when you finish, don't wait for the captain.

00:36:31Come back here and get me.

00:36:34Yeah, I'll probably feel good enough by then to take his turn.

00:36:38Okay, Mario?

00:36:42Sí.

00:36:43Okay.

00:37:08Let's go.

00:37:15Let's go.

00:37:19Let's go.

00:37:23Oh, Mario, I'm on in.

00:37:48What is it?

00:37:52A shrew in a cellar?

00:37:53Si, I hear him singing down there.

00:37:56Well, how did he get in?

00:37:58The store broke out the kitchen window, but I closed it up.

00:38:01He went down there.

00:38:02Why should he go down there?

00:38:04The food for the little ratones.

00:38:06I pull out to Enfrost.

00:38:07They love it.

00:38:08Did you tell Jerry?

00:38:09No, senor.

00:38:10Here is your turn next.

00:38:12Here is Una Luz.

00:38:13We kill him, no?

00:38:15Yeah.

00:38:23Ann, Ann, wake up.

00:38:35A shrew got in.

00:38:36It's all right.

00:38:37He's down in the cellar.

00:38:39Now, we're going down after him, but I don't want you to let anybody open that door until I tell you to.

00:38:44You understand?

00:38:46Good girl.

00:38:47I don't want you to let anybody open it.

00:39:04Okay. Open it, just a crack.

00:39:08Open it.

00:39:10Hold on to it.

00:39:13Okay.

00:39:34Take that side.

00:40:04Mario?

00:40:09Here.

00:40:11Do you see anything?

00:40:13I see where he was.

00:40:15I do not see where he is.

00:40:17Be careful.

00:40:18Yes, sir.

00:40:19I will be careful.

00:40:34He also got to be safe.

00:41:01You all right down there?

00:41:03Doctor, get down here, quick.

00:41:17Mario, Mario.

00:41:33He...

00:41:36He's dead.

00:41:38Death?

00:41:45I got this on him right away. He couldn't have bled to death.

00:41:51Might as well let go of it.

00:41:53Won't do him any good now.

00:41:55What could have killed him?

00:42:01I'm not certain.

00:42:03Till the autopsy.

00:42:06Hematoxic syndrome.

00:42:09I'm afraid so.

00:42:11We'll know after pathology.

00:42:13Doctor, that's not the same animal you showed me.

00:42:17That's a monster.

00:42:18That's a monster.

00:42:19As I said.

00:42:21There are mutants.

00:42:23You're controlling the size factor.

00:42:26We seem to have crossed some of the other characteristics.

00:42:29Well, you certainly did a good job of it.

00:42:32I've known that for some time, Captain.

00:42:34Would you please give me a hand that Mario, Bradford, bring up the animal?

00:43:04Extremely high poison content in the shrew's saliva.

00:43:08Now compare it with this.

00:43:11Careful count isn't necessary.

00:43:13Any indication of the same poison that Mario's blood will give you the answer.

00:43:18Yes, you're right.

00:43:22Look, Ann.

00:43:26Rooting about it's not going to do any good.

00:43:29Now, why don't you try to think of something else?

00:43:32Tell me, what do you do around here?

00:43:35Are you a scientist?

00:43:37I'm a zoologist.

00:43:39Oh.

00:43:40That's the study of animal life, isn't it?

00:43:43Well, do you specialize? What do you specialize in?

00:43:46They're diet.

00:43:48Well, I had a hand in this too.

00:43:50And I'm partly to blame.

00:43:52But this ends it.

00:44:03If we ever get off this island, I'll never have anything to do with it again.

00:44:08What will you do?

00:44:09If normally.

00:44:11Like normal women do.

00:44:13You see it seem a little dull after the life I've been living.

00:44:19It's rather dull and alive than excited and...

00:44:22I'll take a dull, alive woman every time.

00:44:24You see it.

00:44:25Alright.

00:44:28Nice.

00:44:30I'm not gonna have lots of answers.

00:44:37Say, Thorne.

00:44:38the autopsy has proved what we suspected several weeks ago i concocted the most virulent poison i

00:44:49could with the materials i had at hand so we put it out as bait mario was killed by poison

00:44:58doctor i wonder if you thought the system of the sorex enabled them to assimilate that poison

00:45:05it remained in the salivary glands of their jaws isn't that wonderful

00:45:09i am sorry of course i always speak from the clinical point of view well don't you have

00:45:18something to counteract that poison once mario was bitten i'm afraid there's nothing anyone could

00:45:25have done this indicates that they cannot afford to get even so much as a scratch from these animals

00:45:32they're more poisonous than snakes what do you think they're all affected

00:45:37best way to find out is let them all bite you and see which bite you die after

00:45:43we might just all get that chance jerry you included

00:45:46doctor i've closed all the doors in the house i suggest we do the same thing with this hall and

00:45:53this lab cut down the chances of getting in the front of the house i think if we keep a close

00:45:58watching those walls and windows in there we might make it till daybreak the walls are two feet

00:46:04thick do you think i have a chance to dig in of course there's a chance anywhere that plaster's

00:46:11off that adobe's the softest mush where that rain hit it

00:46:25it's not a bad idea doctor but here's another possibility doctor it's very light out it's gonna be daylight soon

00:46:54we'll take the shrew that killed mario and throw it over the fence and use it for bait

00:47:00if they show up for it of course the run for the boats out if they don't then i'll go down and have

00:47:06rook lay two with a lighter then i'll return to the bend and the trail and give you the all clear signal

00:47:11sounds fine captain good then you explain it to the rest yes i will

00:47:16well the bait's been out for 20 minutes nothing's touched it

00:47:33if i had to go down and imagine and hear something else's touched on it

00:47:35well the bait's gone okay that's what i need to know

00:47:36but i can also tell you about it

00:47:37to be able to access to the water in the mario and there's a lot of the seals

00:47:38that 400-rated lake in the mario and there's a lot of the water and the river

00:47:40in the river, they're going to have a beautiful way and there's a lot of the water

00:47:41in the river.

00:47:42Well I saw the river with the river in the river, I saw the river and the river

00:47:44And it was about to pour into it.

00:47:45Yeah, you did.

00:47:47Yeah.

00:47:47I said, they would.

00:47:48Yes.

00:47:49Oh yeah, you did.

00:47:51Take a beach out of the river in the river.

00:47:53I was thinking,watth forms the water and the river to the river,

00:47:55Even the wind has gone down. Isn't that wonderful?

00:48:15I'm afraid it's not over, my dear. It's just a lull.

00:48:18There'll be a lot more.

00:48:19He's right.

00:48:21I'll be back at the bend shortly. Now, you watch for my signal.

00:48:23You can't go long.

00:48:25I'll go with him.

00:48:26Not you, Father. You haven't even fired a gun.

00:48:29Take Rad or Jerry.

00:48:31Sure, I'll go.

00:48:33Then you'll be sure of getting a signal.

00:48:55Don't shoot that gun unless you have to. We've only got 20 rounds altogether.

00:49:20I know that as well as you do.

00:49:26Sherman.

00:49:28You stay away from her.

00:49:31Do you have that gun pointed at me?

00:49:33Right at the middle of your back.

00:49:35Look, we've got enough problems without worrying about Ann.

00:49:39I'm telling you, stay away from her.

00:49:41When the shrews get through with you, they won't even find a buckshot.

00:49:44All right.

00:49:46Come on.

00:49:51Come on.

00:49:51예요.

00:49:51Hey, Rob!

00:50:17Hey, Rob!

00:50:21Rob!

00:50:27Where's this gift?

00:50:32I'll follow that check line. I gotta find him.

00:50:35Since last night, you won't find much of him.

00:50:38Will you shut up?

00:50:39I'm not going back.

00:50:41For what?

00:50:42I'm staying here.

00:50:44All right. You suit yourself, but if I were you, I'd swim out to that boat.

00:50:50Can't swim.

00:50:51Then stay here.

00:50:52Wait a minute. You gotta give me a gun.

00:50:56I'll give you a gun.

00:51:02Chairman, wait!

00:51:03Chairman, wait!

00:51:04I'll give you an email.

00:51:09I'll give you an email.

00:51:12I can't wait.

00:51:13I'll give you an email.

00:51:17This is the gun we had on the boat.

00:51:45They don't leave much, do they?

00:51:47Sherman, we've got to make a deal for us.

00:51:54What is it?

00:51:57Shh.

00:51:59They've been training us on both sides.

00:52:02Where?

00:52:03I didn't see anything.

00:52:06Look, Sherman, you've got to give me a gun.

00:52:10Whatever you do, don't you run.

00:52:16You stay in front of me because I don't trust you.

00:52:19They're coming!

00:52:20Open the gate!

00:52:21Open it!

00:52:22They're coming!

00:52:23Open the gate!

00:52:24Open it!

00:52:25Open the gate!

00:52:26Open it!

00:52:27Open the gate!

00:52:28Hurry up!

00:52:29Hurry up!

00:52:30Open the gate!

00:52:31Hurry up!

00:52:32Open the gate!

00:52:33Hurry up!

00:52:34Open the gate!

00:52:35Open the gate!

00:52:36Open the gate!

00:52:37Hurry up!

00:52:38Open the gate!

00:52:41Open the gate!

00:52:43Open the gate!

00:52:47Open the gate!

00:52:48Open the gate!

00:52:49Hurry up!

00:52:50Open the gate!

00:52:52Open the gate!

00:52:55Let him in!

00:52:56You can't let him in. Let him in.

00:52:59Let him in.

00:53:01Jerry, open that door.

00:53:15Jack, just let him in.

00:53:17Jerry, the shoes were out there.

00:53:19I couldn't take a chance.

00:53:21Jerry!

00:53:26Jerry!

00:53:34Give him that bastard!

00:53:35Look at him!

00:53:52For heaven's sake, Doctor! Stop him!

00:53:56THE END

00:54:26All right, didn't he have it coming, or didn't he?

00:54:41What happened out there?

00:54:43Oh, nothing much.

00:54:44Jerry just tried to kill me twice in the last five minutes.

00:54:51Brooke came ashore last night.

00:54:53He's dead.

00:54:56It's all was left.

00:55:01It won't do us any good.

00:55:02It's got no ammo.

00:55:17I'm deeply sorry, Captain.

00:55:21I wish I'd followed your orders.

00:55:23Look, Doctor, you casually mention animals.

00:55:26You didn't explain to us what we were facing out there.

00:55:30You have every right to feel the way you do.

00:55:33My mistake was only mine.

00:55:36It was one of judgment.

00:55:36I didn't know about the hurricane.

00:55:40I didn't anticipate the effect it would have on the shrews.

00:55:44I thought the house would be safe through the crisis.

00:55:47How could you expose your own daughter?

00:55:49How could you expose Anne to that?

00:55:51She was going to leave last week, but the boat didn't come.

00:55:54I made a drink.

00:56:01Anybody else care for one?

00:56:03I could use some coffee.

00:56:05I'll make some.

00:56:06Thank you, by the way.

00:56:08Creamy sugar.

00:56:12Oh, my leg.

00:56:13Slam the door.

00:56:24You all right, Doctor?

00:56:26He just ripped my trousers, that's all.

00:56:28Are you sure that's all?

00:56:30I'm completely aware of it, Doctor.

00:56:32That was a stupid waste of ammunition.

00:56:54Never want them a clean mess.

00:56:56There's still four of them in there.

00:57:02How did they get in?

00:57:03Through that kitchen window.

00:57:04That rope must be rotten.

00:57:08It got him.

00:57:11Rats, Rats.

00:57:11Rats.

00:57:20He's dead.

00:57:21Oh, no.

00:57:23No.

00:57:32He recorded every symptom and reaction

00:57:39right up to the moment of his death.

00:57:46Jerry, turn down one of those drapes and cover him up.

00:57:51Sure.

00:57:52Sure.

00:57:54Gregus will cover Anne, and I'll cover Pam.

00:57:58You'll cover me, but who'll cover you?

00:58:00Shut up!

00:58:01We can get on the man-o-sway from the shed.

00:58:05I told you to shut up!

00:58:09Now, you stop sniffling and think.

00:58:12It'll take a time to get us out of here.

00:58:18There!

00:58:18It won't take them all to dig around this?

00:58:40You're right.

00:58:40No telling where else they're digging, too.

00:58:42There!

00:58:43Come on, Perry.

00:58:50It won't be, Miss Polar.

00:58:51Come on.

00:58:52Let's go.

00:58:52Come on, Perry.

00:58:53Come on.

00:58:55Come on.

00:58:57Come on.

00:59:02Come on.

00:59:03Come on.

00:59:04Come on.

00:59:06There's not enough stuff here to barricade those walls.

00:59:21I'll tell you, we'll pile some of those crates up over there.

00:59:23That route's our last chance.

00:59:25Here, help me, Doctor.

00:59:26I can't see you can find something light.

00:59:28All right.

00:59:36Here, help me with that, Doctor.

00:59:38I can find the room.

00:59:58Doctor.

00:59:59Yes?

01:00:00Use these chemical drums as tanks.

01:00:02Individual tanks.

01:00:04Here, I'll show you.

01:00:05All right.

01:00:06Stand down here.

01:00:07Yep.

01:00:08Look down now.

01:00:09All right.

01:00:10Slow.

01:00:11All right.

01:00:12I mean, all right?

01:00:13Yeah.

01:00:14Hold it here to mix my pieces.

01:00:16Get out some tools that will abandon the corona.

01:00:20All right.

01:00:30Hey, here's another one.

01:00:32Good.

01:00:33Hey, get that out there.

01:00:34We'll work on it.

01:00:36Hey, that's even better.

01:00:47Give me a little more slack.

01:00:51Get some rope and put it on that latch so we can reach it from the ground.

01:00:55Keep her up on the ground.

01:01:13Get up there! Get up there!

01:01:30Somebody over here!

01:01:43Hold this answer, man.

01:01:44All right.

01:02:03All right.

01:02:04We're all set.

01:02:05Look, it's going to be rough, but we should be able to duck walk to the beach.

01:02:09Where's Jerry?

01:02:10There's a lot of them out there.

01:02:11I can see them.

01:02:12I'm not going.

01:02:13Look, come down here.

01:02:14That wind will blow you right off that roof.

01:02:16I told you, I'm not going.

01:02:18I'm staying here.

01:02:20We've got to get them down here somehow.

01:02:22And see if you can coach them down here.

01:02:24Jerry, Jerry, please come down with us.

01:02:27No, I am.

01:02:28They'll get you if you go out here.

01:02:29Come down here, you fool.

01:02:31Poor devil, I hope he makes it.

01:02:33If he can't leave it, he's not responsible for himself.

01:02:38We have to go now.

01:02:39Go now.

01:02:40Oh.

01:02:43All right, doctor.

01:02:47All right.

01:02:48All right.

01:02:53All right.

01:02:54All right.

01:02:54Now, hold it up.

01:03:00All right.

01:03:01All right.

01:03:02Everybody ready? I'm going to open that gate.

01:03:10Ready?

01:03:12Ready.

01:03:13Okay, here they come.

01:03:19Hold on, hold on.

01:03:32Hold on, hold on.

01:04:02What did you say?

01:04:07She says she's all right.

01:04:10She's keeping her eyes closed.

01:04:12All right, keep your eyes closed.

01:04:15They can't get at you through the slit.

01:04:28This empty drum is too heavy for her.

01:04:30I can barely hold up my side.

01:04:34I'll be all right in a minute.

01:04:37All right, you walk.

01:04:40I'll drag for a while.

01:04:46Listen, don't let their head get under.

01:04:49They'll flip us over.

01:04:50I'll be right.

01:04:56Let's go.

01:04:59Fire.

01:05:00Fire.

01:05:30Check your foot.

01:06:00No, my foot is free, but he got my foot.

01:06:05Is there a scratch?

01:06:07No, not a mark.

01:06:08Keep moving.

01:06:24Let's go.

01:06:25Let's go.

01:06:26Don, I don't think I...

01:06:36What?

01:06:40Son!

01:06:41Wait, son!

01:06:44Son, we're close!

01:06:46We'll hit the water soon.

01:06:59It doesn't sound like they're following us anymore.

01:07:01We better work deeper.

01:07:14I'm about to round out.

01:07:16Okay, let's swim for it.

01:07:17Okay.

01:07:18Okay.

01:07:18We are safe, aren't we?

01:07:47I mean, this door.

01:07:49Sure.

01:07:50She rode out the first half, all right.

01:07:52That's always the roughest.

01:07:54Anyway, riding an anchor, I'll get a chance to learn a little more about that Swedish accent.

01:07:59In 24 hours, there'll be one shrew left on the island, and he'll be dead of starvation.

01:08:06An excellent example of overpopulation.

01:08:08Well, you know something, doctor?

01:08:11What's that?

01:08:13I'm not going to worry about overpopulation just yet.

01:08:16I'm not going to worry about it.
