00:00:00September 30th byline Tom Corman

00:00:08when I was in journalism school I was taught to be prepared for anything out of the ordinary

00:00:18and when I took the position on this small-town newspaper all I expected was the ordinary

00:00:26outside of a few wildlife arrests and local drunken rowdiness nothing much ever happened here to write

00:00:37about that was before strange things started occurring in this sleepy little town and now

00:00:47nothing will ever be the same again yeah yes mr. Griffith and we put our backs into it miss

00:01:09Griffith we are doing our best you must be patient patience is a virtue miss Griffith but it won't

00:01:17keep the Sun from rising we much to do before we rest and we've all got to get it all done before

00:01:23daybreak may I venture an opinion mr. Griffith you may miss Griffith but I counsel you to conserve

00:01:30your breath for more fruitful endeavors well my opinion mr. Griffith is this we're on a fool's

00:01:37mission they know gators in the swamp they ain't been for a month I know this is so for no one

00:01:45including those of us who look for them ain't seen one since September well reasoning mrs. Griffith is

00:01:51both childish and unscientific when one no longer sees gators well once there were many it means one

00:01:57of two things one the gate is of all moved which is highly unlikely for such a migration would have

00:02:05been noticed the other is that they all died in their carcasses sank to the bottom you know when a

00:02:12gator dies just doesn't up and blow away like an old dandelion leave its skin behind now this place

00:02:20we're going to was teaming with gators less than a year ago therefore reasonable to assume that that's

00:02:27where we'll find the mother load well I don't see what makes so many gators dial at once pollution

00:02:34my dear disease starvation old age any number of causes okay kindly stop the boat here miss Griffith

00:02:44time for me to go to work may I have the gun please miss Griffith

00:02:53miss Griffith if you please

00:03:18are you sure it's dead cold light of science my pet assures me there can be no other way

00:03:30kind of strange mr. Griffith

00:03:34take in miss Griffith

00:03:37miss Griffith

00:03:40miss Griffith

00:03:42miss Griffith

00:03:45what

00:03:47you

00:03:48all

00:03:53is

00:03:58you

00:03:59all

00:04:05in

00:06:39Huh?

00:06:40I'm sorry.

00:06:41He brought the pictures in, but I followed them and forgot about them.

00:06:44What did I file them?

00:06:45Aye, for implausible.

00:06:46Here they are.

00:06:47I've never seen a bass like that before.

00:06:51Are you sure that's what it is?

00:06:52Am I a game warden or not?

00:06:54Of course I'm sure.

00:06:55Yeah, but look closely.

00:06:56Now, you see these lines here and here?

00:06:58That's the other development stage.

00:07:00Now, a bass loses those lines when it reaches the adult stage, but this bass is a whopper.

00:07:04Well, you're right there.

00:07:05But you know, this may be the biggest baby bass ever caught.

00:07:09But what would make a baby bass grow like that so fast?

00:07:11Well, I don't know, but I think Miller here is under arrest.

00:07:13Isn't there a law about keeping baby fish?

00:07:16Sure there is, but not when the baby fish is this size, Doc.

00:07:19Hey, maybe that's the monster everybody's been talking about.

00:07:22That thing?

00:07:22Or it's mama.

00:07:23Listen, I'm going over to Kowalska.

00:07:25Do you want to go with me?

00:07:26Why would I?

00:07:26We're going to play poker tonight.

00:07:28I think I'll pass.

00:07:29Okay, I'll tell Tommy you said hello.

00:07:31Well, Tom, I thought he was working tonight.

00:07:32Yeah, he is.

00:07:33He's working with Kowalska and that bridge thing.

00:07:35Good luck to him.

00:07:36Afraid so.

00:07:37Have a good game.

00:07:38Okay, you bet.

00:07:39Good night.

00:07:39So, anyway, I said to him, I'm telling him this long, ridiculous story about the cholera, you know.

00:07:45So I look over five minutes later.

00:07:49I'll take three.

00:07:51Then you don't think, Sheriff, that the MacGutton Bridge should be rebuilt at all, do you?

00:07:56What I think, son, what...

00:07:57Whoa, man, three bullets!

00:08:00Damn, that puts me...

00:08:01What I think, son, is none of your concern.

00:08:05Or my papers.

00:08:06That's right, or your papers.

00:08:08But, Sheriff, the people have a right to know.

00:08:12Let me tell you something, son.

00:08:13Will you sample those?

00:08:14Let me tell you the truth.

00:08:15I haven't given very much thought to the bridge lately.

00:08:20You mean you haven't given much thought to anything?

00:08:22And when I do, I'll let you know, okay?

00:08:26Now, you want to get even?

00:08:28Yeah, damn right.

00:08:30Shuffle the cards, shuffle the cards.

00:08:32Sheriff!

00:08:32Oh, you smoke!

00:08:33Wait up, Sheriff!

00:08:34Wait up in the head, Campbell.

00:08:36It's only old Griffith.

00:08:38Old Griffith.

00:08:40Come to turn yourself in, huh?

00:08:42Oh, God, Sheriff.

00:08:43Oh, my God.

00:08:44Gee, Sheriff, he seems a little upset.

00:08:46Yeah, upset.

00:08:47Probably bad conscience.

00:08:49What's wrong, Mr. Griffith?

00:08:50Mrs. Griffith.

00:08:51My Margaret.

00:08:52Oh, it was terrible.

00:08:53What's the matter?

00:08:54What's the matter there, Griff?

00:08:56One of them gators chomping you old woman, huh?

00:08:58Yeah, it wasn't an old gator.

00:08:59Something got her out there.

00:09:01But it wasn't an old gator.

00:09:02No, maybe.

00:09:03There's no gators in them swamps of gators, Sheriff.

00:09:05Of course, these gators are probably asleep hibernating.

00:09:08You know, if there's a gator out there,

00:09:10old Griffith will sure find him now.

00:09:12What was it, Mr. Griffith?

00:09:13I've never seen nothing like it before in my life.

00:09:16Some rotten monster.

00:09:18You dreaming again, dear Griffith?

00:09:20Well, maybe so.

00:09:21But ever since that big houseboat sank in the swamp,

00:09:24well, nothing's been the same around here since.

00:09:28And now, my Margaret.

00:09:30Where was this?

00:09:31Way out there.

00:09:31Where all them gators used to be.

00:09:33Well, look.

00:09:34I'll take you out to Doc Ellerby's house.

00:09:35He'll fix you up with a sedative.

00:09:37And after a good night's sleep,

00:09:38maybe you can give me some directions or a map.

00:09:41No, believe me.

00:09:41You don't want to go out there.

00:09:42Don't worry.

00:09:43It'll be broad daylight.

00:09:46I've got to check into this.

00:09:47Now, let's go.

00:09:48Okay.

00:09:54Want a rematch?

00:09:55Damn much.

00:09:56Let's go.

00:10:26Let's go.

00:10:56Let's go.

00:11:26Paul?

00:11:37Paul?

00:11:38What the hell?

00:11:56What the hell?

00:12:26Don't come here.

00:12:30There's nothing more I can do.

00:12:42I saw this.

00:12:45Yeah.

00:12:46But...

00:12:48Oh!

00:12:50You gave me quite a pride!

00:12:51Well, I'm sorry!

00:12:52You ought to be creeping up on people like that.

00:12:55Hey, I didn't mean to scare you.

00:12:57Hey, do you think you could possibly help me get out of this mess?

00:13:01Walk on out where it's firmer.

00:13:03I'm afraid I can't. My shoes are stuck.

00:13:06Well, you just have to leave them.

00:13:08In this muck? I just bought them.

00:13:10I suppose we could get a helicopter to fly in and carry you out.

00:13:14Very funny.

00:13:25What's so funny?

00:13:26You... you look funny in those socks.

00:13:34Hey, wait a minute. Just who are you, anyway?

00:13:36My name's Shawn Michaels, and my pappy's Emmett Michaels.

00:13:39Old Emmett Michaels?

00:13:40That's right, and he'll shoot you like a hound if you so much lay a hand on me.

00:13:44Please, I'm Tom Corman. I'm with the local newspaper.

00:13:47So what?

00:13:48Well, I'd like to talk to your father and ask him a few questions, if that's okay with you.

00:13:53I don't mind. My pappy might shoot you.

00:13:55Why? I haven't touched you.

00:13:57I know that, but if there's one thing my pappy don't hold too much story, it's that newspaper of yours.

00:14:02Is it because we expose poachers and other abusers of wildlife?

00:14:06Nope. It's because my pappy can't read.

00:14:09Can you read, Shawn?

00:14:10I can read what's on your mind, and if I had a gun, I'd shoot you, too.

00:14:14Well, look, I'd like to talk to him and see if he knows anything about the houseboat

00:14:18or some of the other strange things that have been happening here.

00:14:21Okay, that's the house.

00:14:25Hey, pappy, I'm home.

00:14:34Who's that with you?

00:14:35I'm Tom Corman, sir. I'm with the local newspaper.

00:14:38He wants to ask you some questions.

00:14:40You always walk around in the swamp with your stocking feet?

00:14:44I'd like to ask you a few questions, Mr. Michaels.

00:14:47I guess you want to know about the big one.

00:14:50Well, I...

00:14:52Everybody's always wanting to know about the big one.

00:14:55You know what I tell them?

00:14:57No, sir.

00:14:58I tell them Eddie Rickenbacker was a son of a bitch, and you ought to mind your own damn business.

00:15:04Uh, actually, I'm looking for Margaret Griffith.

00:15:07That's what they all say.

00:15:09It is?

00:15:11Damn right it is.

00:15:13I didn't know then, and I don't know now.

00:15:17Sir, she just disappeared last night.

00:15:20If there's a live gator in that swamp out there, he's entering.

00:15:26The way she used to whomp on them.

00:15:28Then they are poachers.

00:15:29Well, if you call never catching nothing poaching, I guess they aren't.

00:15:36So, what happened to all the alligators?

00:15:38That swamp used to be ass deep in gators.

00:15:42If you'll stay for supper, I might just be of mind to tell you.

00:15:47Of course you stay for supper.

00:15:49I got something special planned.

00:15:52Well?

00:15:54Uh, I...

00:15:56Sure.

00:15:57I'd be delighted.

00:15:59I've lived down in this swamp all my life.

00:16:06About 80 years.

00:16:09And I've seen some things that just curl your hair.

00:16:14Then what do you think happened to the alligators?

00:16:17That goes back to the big one.

00:16:22I chased a wrecking back there out in the swamp.

00:16:28And we'd have a big dogfight right near here.

00:16:32Eddie crashed his plane, chucked full of vials of secret germ warfare material.

00:16:40But they didn't even have germ warfare until World War II.

00:16:44I know that.

00:16:45That's cause I shot Eddie down in the big one.

00:16:51This germ stuff mutated the possums until they grew real huge.

00:16:58The Indians call them the possoteks.

00:17:02A possotek?

00:17:04Loosely translated means a giant possum, I reckon.

00:17:11Hell, what do you think I am, an Indian expert?

00:17:14But Mr. Michaels, there haven't been any Indians in these parts in hundreds of years.

00:17:19I know that.

00:17:21There haven't been any gators either.

00:17:23Possums eat them up, best that I can tell.

00:17:27That's totally absurd.

00:17:29That's what I used to say.

00:17:31Well, what do you say now?

00:17:32I say it's silly.

00:17:33I don't like big words.

00:17:35This conversation is getting us nowhere.

00:17:38By the way, Sean, this dinner is really good. What is it?

00:17:40Possum.

00:17:42Halo.

00:17:43Halo.

00:17:44Halo.

00:17:45What?

00:17:47I'd like to go for a walk now.

00:17:49Wait till I get my pipe.

00:17:51Don't bother, Pappy. I'll go with him.

00:18:10Smash on the gas.

00:18:11Get off the line.

00:18:12I got the grass on the mark.

00:18:14Rolling down the highway.

00:18:16Mile after mile.

00:18:18It's a destination estate show.

00:18:21Somewhere down the line.

00:18:23Where the traps might be easier.

00:18:25We've got a lot of time.

00:18:28Are you ready to go?

00:18:29Hell no, I ain't ready to go.

00:18:31You've already lost five games.

00:18:33I know that, but I've got to win my money back.

00:18:35Besides, Joe and I are going hunting for that big gator later on.

00:18:38But it's getting dark.

00:18:40Well, there ain't no better time to hunt gators than when it's dark.

00:18:43With your luck, your gun will end up backfiring into your ugly face.

00:18:47Listen, woman, I don't need you to tell me when I go hunt gators and when I can.

00:18:50But I am not about to walk coming in the dark by myself.

00:18:55Well, I'll be out in that swamp and have that gator in my boat and that money in my pocket

00:18:58before you can get your little butt moved off that stool.

00:19:01But it's dark.

00:19:03Well, you can just wait for me right here.

00:19:06You can just kiss my ass.

00:19:09Go on, see if I care.

00:19:11I'm black or black.

00:19:14Take me inward.

00:19:15I am not gonna get any at all alone.

00:19:29Who am I to?

00:19:31What's that, Jess?

00:19:34Oh, no, no.

00:20:04Oh, no, no, no.

00:20:34Oh, no, no, no.

00:21:04Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:21:34Oh, no, no, no.

00:22:04Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:22:06You know, I really wish I could find out what happened to old Margaret Griffith.

00:22:10But Daddy already told you.

00:22:13Well, you don't believe in that giant possum stuff, do you?

00:22:16Don't you?

00:22:17Of course not.

00:22:18Besides, if one possum grew big, they'd all grow big.

00:22:21Maybe so, but I try not to think on it too much myself.

00:22:25What do you think about Sean?

00:22:28I don't know.

00:22:29Growing up, getting out of the swamp, eating hamburgers, stuff like that.

00:22:34That's really nice.

00:22:36But do you know what I'm thinking of?

00:22:37I already know what you're thinking of.

00:22:40Oh, really?

00:22:40Oh, yeah.

00:22:48Listen.

00:22:49Oh, it's probably just some gator.

00:22:51Or Posotak.

00:22:51Not that off.

00:22:53It's probably just some big gator.

00:22:55But let's check it out anyway.

00:23:02Tom, I'm scared.

00:23:04Listen, if it's Posotak, I'll eat my hat.

00:23:08Well, I don't see anything.

00:23:10Hold on, I'll roust him up.

00:23:12I'll roust him up in the middle of the night to come and look.

00:23:42I'll give you something, Corman.

00:23:43This better be important now.

00:23:44It is, Sheriff.

00:23:45We found Mrs. Griffith.

00:23:47Yeah?

00:23:48That's right, Sheriff.

00:23:49Out in the swamp.

00:23:51Out in the swamp, eh?

00:23:56Yeah.

00:23:57That ain't Mrs. Griffith.

00:23:59It's not.

00:23:59Of course it's not.

00:24:00This here, it's a redhead.

00:24:02Mrs. Griffith is a blonde.

00:24:04Hey, Bernie.

00:24:05That looks like blood to me.

00:24:07Yeah, it could be.

00:24:10Maybe this is Griffith's old wife.

00:24:12Hey, should I, uh, round him up for questioning?

00:24:16Yeah, I guess you better be kidding.

00:24:18Sheriff, have you got any idea what made those marks on her body?

00:24:21What do you think I look like now?

00:24:24What do you think I look like, Corman?

00:24:25Of course I don't know.

00:24:28But it could be murder one.

00:24:31Well, I guess we've got a big day ahead of us then tomorrow.

00:24:33What do you mean we've got a big day tomorrow?

00:24:35Well, we're going to investigate the swamp, aren't we?

00:24:37I don't see why.

00:24:40Well, I'll tell you what, Sheriff.

00:24:42I'm going to investigate the swamp.

00:24:43Now I recall how things were a couple of years ago.

00:25:09You feeling any better, Griff?

00:25:13You know, we found your old lady.

00:25:15Well, that young newspaper reporter in, uh,

00:25:17him and Mikey's daughter, they found her.

00:25:19Found her down in the old stomping grounds.

00:25:22Was she?

00:25:23Oh, she's dead at that Mother's Day at an orphanage, Griff.

00:25:26I don't understand.

00:25:28Could have done such a horrible thing.

00:25:30I'm just kind of hoping you could tell us.

00:25:32You don't think that, uh, I don't think so,

00:25:35but the chief wants me to bring you in anyway.

00:25:38I'll tell you one thing, though, Griff.

00:25:39Her face looked like a plate of corned beef and cabbage.

00:25:43Say, Griff, you want to get a bite to eat?

00:25:45I hear they're running a good spaghetti special.

00:25:47What?

00:25:48Hey, you take the time now, girl.

00:25:49I ain't in no hurry.

00:25:51Hey, don't cry.

00:25:54We can go back today.

00:25:57Give me!

00:26:11Give me!

00:26:27Let's go.

00:26:43Give me!

00:26:47Jamie, come here, I got something for you.

00:27:17What do you do that for, woman?

00:27:22Jimmy, you get over there, that one pile and cut that one right this minute.

00:27:26Well, I'm going.

00:28:02I'm going.

00:28:07Bye.

00:28:09Bye.

00:28:10Bye.

00:28:12Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:28:42Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:28:52Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:28:58Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:29:14Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:29:20Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:29:41Jimmy, are you chopping that wood?

00:29:46I'll be right back.

00:30:16What did you want?

00:30:23Yeah, well, you and I, uh, we got up a little hay tonight.

00:30:30Oh, yeah, it's crazy.

00:30:33Well, you should go to bed.

00:30:36Well, you should go to bed.

00:30:38Well, you should go to bed.

00:30:40Well, you should go to bed.

00:30:43Well, you sure do have a way with words, Amy Lou.

00:30:48I didn't graduate from my school, didn't I?

00:30:51You know, folks say you and I make a nice pair.

00:30:54A pair of what?

00:30:55A paraplegic.

00:30:56Shut up, Campbell.

00:31:00You gonna buy anything or not?

00:31:10Here you go, honey.

00:31:11The drinks are on me.

00:31:12What?

00:31:13The drinks are on me.

00:31:15Why, thank you, honey.

00:31:28What are you guys laughing about?

00:31:32As you were.

00:31:42Good morning.

00:32:16I really don't know what we're doing out here.

00:32:32I don't even know what we're looking for.

00:32:34The more I'm out here, the more I'm convinced there's just nothing to see.

00:32:38Let's not look then.

00:32:40Let me glance around some more, okay?

00:32:42Oh.

00:32:46You know, there's nothing moving anywhere out here.

00:32:50Yeah, you're right.

00:32:51Awfully quiet out here.

00:32:54What was that?

00:32:55Probably just a fish jumping.

00:32:57Yeah.

00:33:01What was that?

00:33:02Maybe the gators are back.

00:33:05Tom!

00:33:05Damn.

00:33:06I'm going to check this out.

00:33:08Careful.

00:33:09Remember what happened to you last time you did that?

00:33:11Shit.

00:33:11Get the hell out of here.

00:33:15Get that anchor up.

00:33:18Oh, crap.

00:33:19Come on.

00:33:22Tom, what was that?

00:33:24I don't know.

00:33:25Shit.

00:33:31Oh, nice, man.

00:33:32Oh, nice, man.

00:33:41Did you see that?

00:33:45I sure did.

00:33:47Was it what I think it was?

00:33:49I don't know, but the chances are pretty good.

00:33:52Aw, damn.

00:33:53There's that schmuck Kowalski up there.

00:33:55Aw.

00:33:56Aw.

00:34:11What's up, Sheriff?

00:34:16I just thought you folks would like to know.

00:34:19Griffith's case is solved.

00:34:21It is?

00:34:23Well, we sure do appreciate you coming out here on our behalf, Sheriff.

00:34:29What do you think happened?

00:34:31Well, old Doc Ellaby got to looking at poor Mrs. Griffith there,

00:34:34and he thought the wounds were made by some kind of animal.

00:34:39Did he know what kind?

00:34:40Yeah, no, you know, old Doc Ellaby.

00:34:43Couldn't make head nor tail.

00:34:46It seems obvious to us.

00:34:48Oh, yeah?

00:34:49Yeah.

00:34:50A renegated gator.

00:34:52A renegator?

00:34:54Will you shut up, Campbell?

00:34:56Just be quiet.

00:34:57Look, Sheriff, it couldn't possibly be an alligator.

00:35:00Well, what the hell do you think it is, boy?

00:35:02Pass old tech?

00:35:03Sheriff, it couldn't possibly be an alligator.

00:35:05The idea of this alligator thing is totally ridiculous.

00:35:08Uh-huh.

00:35:08You and the Doc both.

00:35:10I must be right.

00:35:11Look, Kowalski, we saw them.

00:35:14Saw what?

00:35:15The things that killed Mrs. Griffith.

00:35:17Uh-huh.

00:35:18What things?

00:35:19Well, they were people, things.

00:35:22I don't know.

00:35:22We only saw them for a second.

00:35:24Uh-huh.

00:35:24That's right.

00:35:25They tried to overturn the boat.

00:35:26Did you see, did you see those monsters, Sean?

00:35:31Sure did.

00:35:32I think.

00:35:33Now, you mean to tell me that Margaret Griffiths was killed by those monsters that only you saw?

00:35:40They also killed off all the alligators in the swamp.

00:35:43Oh, come on now.

00:35:45And the Indians.

00:35:46And the Indians.

00:35:48Let's go, Campbell.

00:35:49Oh, by the way, I just put a bounty on that there gator.

00:35:56In case you all was interested in some honest money.

00:35:59Sheriff, are you nuts?

00:36:01You'll have a swamp full of hicks out here shooting at each other if you do that.

00:36:05Shooting at each other?

00:36:05Let me tell you something, boy.

00:36:07Better shooting out here in the swamp than in town there.

00:36:10What do you want me to do?

00:36:11Go out there and go out there and get bit by all them mosquitoes?

00:36:16But, Sheriff, you can't go up there and do that like you think.

00:36:18Do that like I do what?

00:36:19Good hunting.

00:36:20Goodbye.

00:36:22Walski, you jerk.

00:36:24Come on, Sean.

00:36:25Forget it.

00:36:26Let's get this boat beached before the tide comes in.

00:36:30Hey, Sean.

00:36:31What's it now, Mr. Keller?

00:36:33Don't drop it.

00:36:34It might come off one of those things we run over.

00:36:36Hey, you know, you're right.

00:36:39I wonder if there's someplace we could take this stuff and find out what it is.

00:36:42Do we have a biologist in town anywhere?

00:36:44I guess the closest thing we'd have to a biologist would be Miller Hayes, the gang warden.

00:36:48Hey, you're right.

00:36:49Let's take this over to him and he can maybe tell us what it is, all right?

00:36:51Hey, Miller, what you up to?

00:37:05Oh, not much, Paisley.

00:37:06Just going to do a little fishing.

00:37:08Oh, yeah?

00:37:08You got a license, Morton?

00:37:11What are you guys up to, anyway?

00:37:12Oh, we're going off to hunt that big gator.

00:37:15Oh, think you're going to catch him?

00:37:16Sure is shooting.

00:37:17You know, I don't recall issuing Kroll going on a license.

00:37:22Oh, he ain't going to do no shooting, Morton.

00:37:24No?

00:37:25No, he's just going to look.

00:37:27Well, Paisley, you make sure that's all he does.

00:37:30And you guys be careful, you hear?

00:37:31All right, Miller.

00:37:33Come on, Kroll, let's go get that big seller.

00:37:35Hey, Miller, how's that starting to rain out there?

00:37:49Gordy, that's just a sun shower.

00:37:51Should be over soon.

00:37:52Yeah, brother.

00:37:53What can I do for you?

00:37:54How about some bait?

00:37:55Just a box will do.

00:37:56Okay, going fishing?

00:37:57Might as well.

00:37:58There's not much else to do these days.

00:37:59Not going on the big hunt?

00:38:01Oh, God.

00:38:03Pretty sad, ain't it?

00:38:05You know, Doc Gellerby is sure going to have his hands full these next few days.

00:38:12Seems to me like a game warden ought to protest a situation like that.

00:38:15It's about all I can do is protest.

00:38:17That's just the kind of lip service that's the extent of my office.

00:38:20Gordy Kowalski never listens to me, never enforces any of my restrictions.

00:38:24About the only thing I can do these days is fish and peer through my microscope.

00:38:28I guess I feel retired.

00:38:30What about Margaret Griffith?

00:38:31Do you think she really was killed by a gator?

00:38:33Well, I didn't examine the body, but I'd be really surprised if it had been a gator.

00:38:38For one thing, there hasn't been a gator in these parts in months.

00:38:41But you know, that's beside the point.

00:38:42Ellaby had some mighty weird things to say about that corpse.

00:38:46Like what?

00:38:47Gordy, can you keep something under your hat?

00:38:50It's a pretty big hat.

00:38:51Well, I don't know what to make of this, and neither does Ellaby.

00:38:54But after he examined that body, he told me it was completely drained of...

00:38:57Hello, thank goodness you're here.

00:38:59Thought you must be here.

00:39:00We saw your tackle loaded up outside.

00:39:02Something I can do for you?

00:39:03Look at what Sean has there.

00:39:04What is it?

00:39:05We were hoping you'd be able to tell us.

00:39:07We think it has something to do with what killed Mrs. Griffith.

00:39:10Well, we can take it across to my place and have a look.

00:39:12That's what we were hoping you'd say.

00:39:13Let's go.

00:39:14Gordy, we might be able to clear up this thing.

00:39:17You two, come on, and we'll just look into it.

00:39:19See you later, Gordy.

00:39:20Oh, thanks, Gordy.

00:39:23That old Miller Hayes, he's something, ain't he?

00:39:28That boy cracks me up.

00:39:29I don't recall anything when Krell born a hunting license.

00:39:33Shit, that boy's a regular riot.

00:39:35Everybody knows you can't hunt alligators, even with a license.

00:39:38Hell, that never stopped nobody.

00:39:40Yeah, well, we're going to get us this one and collect that big reward for ourselves.

00:39:44Hey, just you be careful now.

00:39:45Don't you go fuck it up.

00:39:47Me fuck it up?

00:39:47You dumb attitude.

00:39:49I suppose you're going to blame me for lousing up that bounty on that escaped convict.

00:39:52You're one that come down from Master County last year.

00:39:55Hell, who are you calling an oddity?

00:39:56If you'd have been awake, you'd have shot that boy, and we wouldn't have had to be out here right now.

00:40:01Shit, how was I supposed to know he was dressed as a nun?

00:40:04Hell, you dumb turd.

00:40:05Anybody knows there ain't no nuns around this part of the countryside.

00:40:09He was wearing prison boots.

00:40:10They were sticking right out from underneath that dress of his.

00:40:12Yeah, well, who's going to be a boot sticking out of something else

00:40:14if you don't stop ribbing me and start looking for that renegade gator?

00:40:18Hell, that Sheriff Kowalski, he don't know one gator from another.

00:40:21We'll just shoot the first one that comes along.

00:40:23You know, I hope one comes along real soon,

00:40:25because I got a handker for a cold six-tap.

00:40:27Yeah, one old gator and we're in half-steeping beer.

00:40:31Slow that boat down, son.

00:40:32I think I see one.

00:40:39Where is it?

00:40:46Shut up!

00:40:47Careful, right?

00:40:51Well, Mr. Tate.

00:41:22This what?

00:41:25Well, Doc Ellery told me that Mrs. Griffin's body was completely drained of blood.

00:41:29But a body with wounds like that could easily be drained of blood.

00:41:32Yeah, that's what I thought.

00:41:34But the doc said that the way the things were collapsed, it looked as if the blood was all sucked out.

00:41:40But these things look like people.

00:41:42You know, I might be crazy for saying it, but I think we ought to pay a visit to May Hawker.

00:41:46You mean that girl with the crazy story?

00:41:48So what? Remember, she tried to tell everyone that some strange thing fell from the sky and hit that boat, but nobody believed it.

00:41:56I don't make the connection.

00:41:58I don't either.

00:42:00But, you know, they never did find those dead people.

00:42:04Just the wreckage.

00:42:07Get over there.

00:42:10You coming, Chuck?

00:42:12I'm coming, but I don't like the mess you're getting me into.

00:42:15Well, let's just hope we're wrong.

00:42:24Sheriff, I'm here at the Highway 17 Bridge, and I believe I've found a boat that belongs to Paisley and Crawford.

00:42:33It appears that there is also blood on the seats.

00:42:38You better get a hold of your deputy camel and send him out here to investigate this situation.

00:42:44I'm 10-8 on another call, so I can't be of any assistance here.

00:42:48I'm 10-8 on another call, so I think we'll get you Moż-Co

00:45:14Come in, unit two.

00:45:19Give me your 1040.

00:45:20Don't own your 1020.

00:45:21Don't own your 1040.

00:45:30Don't own your 1040.

00:45:31Doggone it, Campbell. Where are you?

00:46:01Sorry, Sheriff. I'm down here by the, uh, checking out the swamp. Uh, I got a, uh, a suspicious character under surveillance.

00:46:21You can forget that surveillance, Campbell. I know you. Now, you get yourself back here, you hear?

00:46:28We gotta get out to Highway 17. There's somethin' funny goin' on out there.

00:46:32We can't afford another one, I'll tell you!

00:46:35Head, damn.

00:46:38We don't mean no home to you good people here on Earth.

00:46:47We only mean to show you what you could be worth.

00:46:58We just want your body. We already have a man.

00:47:08So if you will cooperate, you'll be helping all mankind.

00:47:18Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

00:47:48First you must let a little one dominate inside your head.

00:48:18We promise you that the strong will live, but the weak will have the fall.

00:48:29Sickness will leave forever, there'll be happiness for all.

00:48:39No, there won't be any more hard times. Everyone will come out of it.

00:48:48But first you must let a little one dominate inside your head.

00:49:04Ah yes, very pretty tune there from Paul Jones and Sugar Lee.

00:49:08We're going to have another pretty tune there from those two fine young folks in just a moment.

00:49:12It's 98 degrees here at WOMB and I hope you're keeping it country cool right along about now.

00:49:38I'll be right back.

00:49:40I'll be right back.

00:49:42I'll be right back.

00:49:44Oh, boy.

00:49:46Oh, dear boy.

00:56:49I learned anything you've ever seen before.

00:57:11How are you feeling now?

00:57:16It keeps getting worse.

00:57:19I'm sorry.

00:57:25Miller, I think you better leave now.

00:57:27Yeah.

00:57:28Well, thanks, huh.

00:57:30Thank you for talking.

00:57:36Miller, you know, I think our worst fears have been realized.

00:57:40That meteorite didn't kill those people.

00:57:42It turned them into a bunch of goddamn monsters.

00:57:44And to think all those people are out there looking for an alligator.

00:57:49Sam!

00:57:51Where are you going?

00:57:52Come on!

00:57:54Crap!

00:57:54Wait for me!

00:57:55Wait for me!

00:58:04Wait for me!

00:59:07What do you think you're doing in that water?

00:59:34What do you mean?

00:59:37Ain't you heard about that bloodthirsty alligator everybody hunting for?

00:59:41Why, there ain't no gators out here no more.

00:59:44That's what they used to say.

00:59:46Sheriff says it's a right mean one.

00:59:49Well, don't y'all worry about me. Y'all just don't shoot each other.

00:59:53Let's go, Carl. These women around here are crazy anyway.

00:59:56That's why there ain't many of them around.

00:59:58I reckon.

00:59:59I reckon.

01:00:28I reckon.

01:00:29I reckon.

01:00:30I reckon.

01:00:31I reckon.

01:00:33Oh, my God.

01:01:03Oh, my God.

01:01:33Oh, my God.

01:02:03Oh, my God.

01:02:34Not really.

01:02:35I was kind of surprised seeing those things, whatever they were.

01:02:39They were the fools, Peppy.

01:02:41No fooling.

01:02:42Yeah, the thing we got to do now is find out how to kill them.

01:02:45But they're dead already, Miller.

01:02:47Let's go get the sheriff.

01:02:48Oh, you've got to be kidding.

01:02:50You're right, Hayes.

01:02:52That boy Kowalski is about as lazy a sheriff as we've ever seen.

01:02:56The point is, we've got to decide on a plan of action.

01:02:59We can go on over to our place and work on it there.

01:03:02Hey, good idea.

01:03:02As I recall, it's not too far from here.

01:03:04About a mile, I guess.

01:03:06You know, this is still crazy as hell.

01:03:08I mean, nobody would ever believe such a story.

01:03:11I tried to tell everyone about letting them Yankees flood in here like it was the Fourth of July.

01:03:18Yeah, and they're sucking out people's blood, too.

01:03:20That's not the half of it.

01:03:21It just might prove to be even worse than we anticipated.

01:03:24What do you mean, Miller?

01:03:25Well, providing it was a meteorite that revived them dead people,

01:03:28it could have a same mutating effect on other forms of life.

01:03:31Hell, maybe we just better make a beeline for Georgia

01:03:34and forget all about fighting this thing out.

01:03:37I don't think we've got much choice.

01:03:39Look up there.

01:03:40Hey, that looks like Doc's car.

01:03:43It is Doc's car.

01:03:44Hey, look on the side there.

01:03:46Doc!

01:03:50Chow!

01:04:10Chow!

01:04:11Chow!

01:04:14Chow!

01:04:15Miller!

01:04:16Ah!

01:04:17Ah!

01:04:18Ah!

01:04:19Ah!

01:04:20Ah!

01:04:43At the end, there's a house.

01:04:50Hey, boys, look here. It's Doc Ellaby.

01:04:54Alive?

01:04:55Yeah, but he's hurt mighty bad.

01:04:57Y'all stay here.

01:05:12Hey, Doc, come on with me.

01:05:14Oh, my God.

01:05:16Ah!

01:05:22Pappy! Pappy! Pappy!

01:05:25Pappy!

01:05:26Pappy!

01:05:46Hey, over there!

01:05:47I'm not a single!

01:05:48Ah!

01:05:53Let's better keep this door in.

01:05:54Yeah.

01:05:59I'm over here.

01:06:01I'm gonna check the other windows and rooms.

01:06:02Alright, I'll stay by this one.

01:06:04Ah!

01:06:05Uh!

01:06:27Go, John!

01:06:28Tom!

01:06:30Tom!

01:06:32Tom!

01:06:34Tom!

01:06:36Oh!

01:06:38No!

01:06:40No!

01:06:44Oh my God!

01:06:46Tom!

01:06:48Tom!

01:06:50Tom!

01:06:52Tom!

01:06:54Tom!

01:06:56Tom! Tom!

01:06:58Help me, please, help me, help me, help me.

01:07:05Look, we're safer right now, but I don't understand how long.

01:07:08You should have made that beeline for Georgia.

01:07:10These windows aren't going to hold them over very much longer.

01:07:21They're just, they're just waiting, just standing around.

01:07:25What are we going to do?

01:07:28Maybe we can make it to the car.

01:07:30Well, look, I can pull them off with this while you all go out to the back.

01:07:33No, Miller, it's too dangerous.

01:07:34I don't have any choice when you get the hell out of here.

01:07:36Okay, okay, you be careful now.

01:07:38Don't worry about me, just get the hell out, take this.

01:07:55No!

01:08:14Now.

01:08:16Let's go.

01:08:46Let's get going.

01:09:01Come on.

01:09:02No.

01:09:03Oh.

01:09:04Oh.

01:09:05Oh.

01:09:20Oh.

01:09:21Oh.

01:09:22Oh.

01:09:23Oh.

01:09:24Oh.

01:09:25Oh.

01:09:29Oh.

01:09:31Oh.

01:09:32Oh.

01:09:34I don't know.

01:10:04Ah!

01:10:34What are y'all doing out there?

01:10:56Gigging for frogs?

01:10:58Maybe they're looking for killer toads.

01:11:01Come on, what are you, Campbell?

01:11:03You haven't seen the game, Warden, have you?

01:11:07He's dead.

01:11:09Gorman!

01:11:10What are y'all dreaming of?

01:11:12Like a dead end here, Sheriff.

01:11:15Yeah.

01:11:16These newspaper people are fools.

01:11:22Dreamers and fools.

01:11:25Come on, Captain.

01:11:33Now I recall how things were a couple of years ago.

01:11:42Now I recall how things were a couple of years ago.

01:11:55It always seemed that friction was always coming on.

01:12:05And knowing that my spark, Lord, was the one that set the flame, caused a great deal of hurting and an awful lot of pain.

01:12:22How I miss home, I hear my son say.

01:12:32Daddy, don't cry.

01:12:33Daddy, don't cry.

01:12:35We can go back today.

01:12:39We'll make mama love you, so you won't be alone.

01:12:49Oh, Daddy.

01:12:50Oh, Daddy.

01:12:51Oh, dear Daddy.

01:12:52Oh, how I miss home.

01:12:56And I'm by my wife.

01:12:57Oh, dear

01:13:22What made you want to do those things

01:13:41And hurt me like you did

01:13:44When the only one you're hurting

01:13:50Is the love of our dear kids

01:13:55Oh, but time will end my aching heart

01:14:01A lonely self-pride

01:14:04And all alone on a cold, cold night

01:14:09I hear them softly cry

01:14:12How I miss home

01:14:18I hear my son say

01:14:22Daddy, don't cry

01:14:27We can go back to death

01:14:31We can go back to death

01:14:36We can go back to death

01:14:37We can go back to death

01:14:42We can go back to death

01:14:42I hear my son say

01:14:43Oh, but time will be

01:14:46And I can go back to death

01:14:50Of course, we can go back to death
