00:00:00But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,
00:00:27in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
00:00:34and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.
00:00:40The earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burned up.
00:00:57The earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burned up.
00:01:04The earth also, and the earth will come as a thief in the night,
00:01:11and the earth will come as a thief in the night,
00:01:15and the earth will come as a thief in the night.
00:01:20The Geiger counter here in the studio reads 632 wrenchens.
00:01:34That's six times more than enough to kill a man.
00:01:38Down through the ages, the prophets have forewarned us that in one day,
00:01:42thousands of years of accomplishments could be wiped away by the destructive hand of power.
00:01:48Now that day has come.
00:01:51All communication with the outside world has stopped
00:01:53just 15 hours after the first nuclear bomb fell on Formosa.
00:01:58The whole world has been silenced, annihilated by nuclear bombs.
00:02:05Three billion people murdered by a thousand nuclear bombs and the lethal fallout.
00:02:10Maybe there's no one left to hear my voice.
00:02:15No living human being to record the end of the world.
00:02:20Now this is Ted Johnson for KBGE Radio.
00:02:26.
00:02:40.
00:02:49.
00:02:54he didn't come dad
00:03:00larry didn't come

00:03:47come let's go inside
00:03:49i planned it right joanna
00:04:16our house out here miles from any city
00:04:20the cliffs
00:04:21the updrafts of air to fight back the radiation
00:04:23and provisions for the three of us for months
00:04:25there's only two of us now dad
00:04:29honey
00:04:31i couldn't very well order larry
00:04:35to come out here and stay with us
00:04:36even though you are engaged to him
00:04:38there's someone at the door dad
00:04:46it's larry
00:04:47he's made it
00:04:48wait
00:04:53don't open that door
00:04:55until you're sure it's larry
00:04:56it is larry
00:04:57it's hurt
00:04:58he'll contaminate it
00:04:59larry

00:05:18it's not larry
00:05:20we've got to help him whoever he is
00:05:24wait
00:05:25we'd better check the geiger counter
00:05:27seven hundred and forty mentions
00:05:42and he's still breathing
00:05:43what
00:05:45he should be dead
00:05:47but he's still breathing
00:05:49nobody can take that much and still live

00:06:21he must be dying
00:06:22the counter showed
00:06:24seven hundred and forty
00:06:25wrenchions
00:06:26where are the bedrooms
00:06:29upstairs
00:06:30come with me
00:06:31no
00:06:31they can't stay here
00:06:33yes they can do
00:06:35but they're contaminated
00:06:36it's too late for them
00:06:37but not us
00:06:38i'll get you some water
00:06:42and clean clothes

00:06:56yes
00:06:57no
00:06:57no
00:07:58Get out of here or I'll kill you.
00:08:16Don't shoot. There's a girl out here.
00:08:18Throw your weapon on the floor.
00:08:20I warn you, this gun's loaded.
00:08:24Kale! Kale!
00:08:26Stop it, Dad! Don't!
00:08:28Move on into the room here.
00:08:31Come in where I can see you.
00:08:32Are you all right?
00:08:39Yeah, I guess so.
00:08:41Is it okay if you stay?
00:08:42Of course you can't stay.
00:08:44I have provisions for only three people.
00:08:46Mac, we're staying, so forget the sob story.
00:08:50David, help me.
00:08:53You can't stay here.
00:08:54It isn't the way I planned it.
00:08:56I have provisions for three people only.
00:09:02I'm Joanna Ramsey.
00:09:04Please bring your suitcase upstairs and I'll get you some fresh water.
00:09:07I'll get you some fresh water.
00:11:12Wait.
00:11:13I didn't mean nothing.
00:11:17I was just looking to see if anyone was alive in the house.
00:11:20What's your name?
00:11:21I'm Tim Henderson.
00:11:23I'm a rancher.
00:11:24I live up on the cliff.
00:11:26Sorry I roughed you up.
00:11:28Sure.
00:11:30Come on.
00:11:32How'd I knock you down?
00:11:34Come on up the house.
00:11:35No.
00:11:37He can't stay.
00:11:41Oh.
00:11:43Let the worthless old coot stay.
00:11:45We're all gonna die anyway.
00:11:46It looks like we're stuck with each other.
00:12:06So let's understand the rules.
00:12:07Now I'm the ranking officer.
00:12:11I mean person.
00:12:12I'm in command.
00:12:13If we're voting, I vote for me.
00:12:17Oh, don't be funny.
00:12:18This is serious.
00:12:20Shut up, Jada.
00:12:21My second in command will be Steve.
00:12:27This counter is registering 47 wrenchions of radioactivity now.
00:12:3350 is considered dangerous.
00:12:35500 fatal.
00:12:37But that depends on the individual.
00:12:38Different people have different absorption rates and capacities.
00:12:41We may live.
00:12:43We may not.
00:12:44There's a lot we don't know about it.
00:12:47Some of us may be dying now.
00:12:49Well, how long before we can leave this museum?
00:12:52Yeah.
00:12:53I got some things working for me in L.A.
00:12:55Big things.
00:12:56So how long before we can get out of here?
00:12:58There is no Los Angeles.
00:13:01No Los Angeles?
00:13:02You're kidding.
00:13:04I don't believe it.
00:13:05But there are no radio signals long or short way from any city in the world.
00:13:11She's right.
00:13:12The six of us in this house may be the beginning of a new era.
00:13:16A new civilization.
00:13:18Seven.
00:13:19My brother's still alive.
00:13:22Not for long, I'm afraid.
00:13:24But be that as it may, I've spent ten years getting ready for this day.
00:13:35Now, I'll brief you as to why we're still alive.
00:13:42This is my house with its own generators and food supply.
00:13:45These cliffs surrounding the house on three sides are full of lead-bearing ore that acts as a barrier against radioactivity.
00:13:55The 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.
00:14:08Anyway, the warm air from the lake's waters creates an updraft.
00:14:13And it's strong enough, I might add, to carry radioactive contamination out of the valley, as long as it doesn't rain.
00:14:21If the rains come too soon, we'll all be contaminated and die.
00:14:27That is, if we don't let other forces destroy us before that time.
00:14:33What other forces?
00:14:35Never mind that now.
00:14:37But make no mistake about it, you're not welcome here.
00:14:40This was planned for just three people.
00:14:43That's how much food we have.
00:14:45If we divide that among the six of us, we'll soon have empty stomachs and rebellion.
00:14:50I have the keys to the storeroom.
00:14:54I and I alone will say when and how much food we eat.
00:14:59Any argument about that, and I'll settle it with this.
00:15:04Oh, you're a big man, packing that gun.
00:15:08Just don't you let go of it.
00:15:10I don't intend to.
00:15:14Where are you going with that?
00:15:16My brother.
00:15:17Save the food.
00:15:18Your brother's a casualty.
00:15:19Face it.
00:15:22Take it to him.
00:15:24Dad, I've never seen you like this before.
00:15:27We can't become animals.
00:15:29We're still human, and we've got to act like it.
00:15:32It's just what I'm afraid of.
00:15:34We're all human.
00:15:35Ranger.
00:15:49Ranger.
00:15:50How you doing?
00:15:54I'm not going to die.
00:15:56I thought I was, but I'm not.
00:15:59I know I'm not, no.
00:16:00Well, it's a miracle.
00:16:02You soaked up 700 wrenchins.
00:16:04I don't understand it, but I'm glad.
00:16:06Here, press some to eat.
00:16:08I don't want that.
00:16:09I need fresh meat.
00:16:11Raw meat.
00:16:13Well, I'll put your order in with the chef.
00:16:15I don't know, but I think it'll do me good.
00:16:21Well, why don't you wash up and get in some clean clothes, huh?
00:16:23No, no.
00:16:24No water.
00:16:26Just let me rest.
00:16:28I'll be okay.
00:16:29Just the way I am.
00:16:30You didn't tell me how you two happened to be near this valley yesterday.
00:16:40We're not exactly on the main highway.
00:16:43We were camped on the other side of the lake.
00:16:46That's not too far off the highway.
00:16:49We were on our way to California.
00:16:51Oh, I thought it'd be a kid to sleep out.
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:54Then our old car wouldn't start, and we were stranded.
00:16:58You two married?
00:17:00She's an old friend of her family.
00:17:08Look, kid, you can be a friend of my family any time you want.
00:17:13Jada's a performer, a dancer.
00:17:16I'm her manager.
00:17:17I, uh...
00:17:29I guess it was stuck.
00:17:34Now you know why she can't work with a fan.
00:17:36Nice-looking guy.
00:17:44Your brother?
00:17:46My fiancé.
00:17:49He was supposed to be here yesterday.
00:17:50me.
00:17:51Oh.
00:17:52Oh.
00:17:56We're going to marry him.
00:17:59I'm sorry.
00:17:59I'm really sorry.
00:18:13What's the matter?
00:18:17Strange.
00:18:21I felt like I heard someone calling.
00:18:25Not really calling.
00:18:27Just something strange.
00:18:31Come on, snap out of it.
00:18:34Let's go to your father's storeroom and see if we can find some canned beef for my brother.
00:18:38Steve, come with me. I want to check the radioactivity outside.
00:18:42Go ahead, Steve. I'll get the canned beef.
00:18:57How are we doing, John?
00:19:04It's at 49. That's up two since last night.
00:19:10That's as if some magic force is holding those clouds up out of this valley.
00:19:13That's the warm air from the lake. Creates an updraft.
00:19:17Yes, I know.
00:19:19Oh, yes. I told you this morning.
00:19:21I've known about this valley for a long time. Lake, too.
00:19:23Read about it in college, in geology.
00:19:25Oh, are you a geologist?
00:19:27Mm-hmm. I work for an oil company about a hundred miles south of here.
00:19:30Then you just didn't stumble in here yesterday by accident?
00:19:34No, my brother and I had it here the minute we heard about the bombings.
00:19:39Hmm. Smart thinking on your part.
00:19:45Do you know the real force of the atom has never been fully calculated?
00:19:52I think it reached its fulfillment yesterday.
00:19:55Yes, but only as we know it affects our present form of life.
00:19:58Our life as we knew it before this nuclear inferno covered the earth.
00:20:03You think some other form of life could have survived?
00:20:06Well, I'm only saying that its true force has never been fully understood.
00:20:11Are you confusing me now, John?
00:20:13Do you remember the H-bomb test at Matsuo some years ago?
00:20:18Sure.
00:20:20I captained one of those ships. Five days after the blast, I towed the animal ship out of Target Zero.
00:20:25The outside world never had a true account of that pest.
00:20:29What are you trying to say, John?
00:20:34Coyote. In the daytime. Hmm.
00:20:38Must be a lot of game in this valley now.
00:20:41Contaminated game.
00:20:43Fighting for life just the way we are.
00:20:55What?
00:20:56I saw a couple years ago.
00:20:57What?
00:21:05Oh, you are right.
00:21:07What?
00:21:09What the hell?
00:21:11What?
00:21:13Do you have a little bit of control...
00:21:15See you, John?
00:21:17What?
00:21:19What?
00:21:21What's your interest?
00:21:22What's the matter, Granger?
00:21:44There's a live game outside.
00:21:46I can tell.
00:21:48Yes, we heard a coyote during the day.
00:21:50I can feel it.
00:21:51And I need meat.
00:21:52Granger, that game's contaminated.
00:21:56If you ate that, you'd die.
00:21:58You would die.
00:22:00But not me.
00:22:09I can't eat that canned junk.
00:22:11I've got to have some meat.
00:22:12Fresh, do you hear?
00:22:15That's all you're going to get for a long time.
00:22:18That's what you think.
00:22:19That's just what you think.
00:22:23I hope I've been there.
00:22:25I think I've done it.
00:22:26Good morning.
00:22:29Come here.
00:22:30I've been here.
00:22:31But I'm trying to maintain nature.
00:22:32Good night.
00:22:33Good night.
00:22:33I'm gonna laugh.
00:22:34Good night.
00:22:37Good night.
00:22:38Good night.
00:22:40Good night.
00:22:41VE Sealed.
00:22:42He was so young,
00:22:47good night.
00:22:48Good night.
00:23:19Hi, three weeks.
00:23:33Thought we'd all be dead by now.
00:23:35Even Granger got out of bed yesterday.
00:23:38Steve, I know he's your brother, but...
00:23:42But what?
00:23:44Well, he...
00:23:45He gives me a funny feeling.
00:23:49Logically, he should have been dead long ago.
00:23:52But there's no such thing as logic anymore.
00:23:55What's so illogical about my brother?
00:23:58You know as well as I do.
00:23:59He hasn't taken food or water in three weeks.
00:24:01Not since he's been here.
00:24:03He says he doesn't need food.
00:24:05And last night he slipped out of the house and didn't come back until dawn.
00:24:12Radiation must have affected his mind.
00:24:13He's a mutation, Steve.
00:24:16Face it.
00:24:17He's a freak of this new atomic world of ours.
00:24:19I'm going outside.
00:24:44For a walk.
00:24:45Well, uh...
00:24:48Don't go too far.
00:24:49Stay inside of the house.
00:24:52Why?
00:24:54Because I say so, that's why.
00:24:58Aren't you tired, Grange?
00:24:59You need more sleep.
00:25:00I'm not tired.
00:25:03I'm not afraid of anything out there.
00:25:06In fact...
00:25:07I like it.
00:25:11Would you like to go with me?
00:25:14No, I...
00:25:15I have things to do.
00:25:16I...
00:25:16I...
00:25:16I...
00:25:17I have things to do.
00:25:37I think he's dangerous.
00:25:44No, I don't think so.
00:25:46He should be destroyed.
00:25:52Destroyed?
00:25:52My brother?
00:25:54Yes.
00:25:55For our safety.
00:25:57You can't do that, John.
00:25:58Well, not just because he's my brother, but don't you see?
00:26:00It's important to us that he live.
00:26:03I don't see why.
00:26:04I'm not sure yet.
00:26:08We have to study him.
00:26:18If it doesn't rain in the next few weeks, I think we're going to live.
00:26:21Somehow I knew we wouldn't die.
00:26:23My father always seemed so positive.
00:26:26You know, right after the bombs came, I didn't much care if I lived or died.
00:26:29Don't talk like that.
00:26:32It's true, Joanna.
00:26:34But these past few weeks with you...
00:26:48Now I feel I've got a big reason to live.
00:26:51Me too, Steve.
00:26:54Joanna?
00:26:55What's wrong?
00:27:11Did I misunderstand?
00:27:13Didn't you hear it?
00:27:15Hear what?
00:27:15Something out there.
00:27:19That strange feeling.
00:27:21Sound.
00:27:22Something.
00:27:23Stronger than the last time I felt it.
00:27:27It's just some harmless animal in the bushes.
00:27:29That's all.
00:27:29No, Steve.
00:27:31It's more.
00:27:33Let's go back in the house, please.
00:27:34Please.
00:29:35He must have.
00:29:36He spends most of his nights prowling around in these woods.
00:29:44Forty-nine lynchings.
00:29:46You think a man could eat that poisoned meat and live?
00:29:49No.
00:29:50No human could.
00:29:53It defies all the laws of man and God.
00:29:55There may be a new set of laws, John.
00:29:59Laws for post-nuclear life we know nothing about.
00:30:02When out with it, Steve, say what you mean.
00:30:04Well, I'm only guessing, but we know that even small amounts of radiation can produce change.
00:30:09Now, if for some reason a man could survive complete saturation, a thousand generations of change could take place in a matter of weeks.
00:30:17The Matsuo test.
00:30:22What do you mean?
00:30:24Nothing.
00:30:25Go on with your theory.
00:30:25I'm afraid there are more Grangers out here, and even worse than him.
00:30:31All of us have survived more cumulative exposure than we ever thought possible.
00:30:34You mean we all may become like your brother, stalking these woods at night, eating raw meat?
00:30:43It's possible.
00:30:45Any bright theories as to what to do in this situation?
00:30:48No.
00:30:48You know, when my brother couldn't find the answer to something, he'd looked it up in the Bible.
00:30:56He believed that it held the answers to everything.
00:31:01For I am with thee to save thee and deliver thee, saith the Lord.
00:31:07I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked.
00:31:12I will redeem thee out of the land of the terrible.
00:31:16I had enough of that Bible when I was a kid.
00:31:20Well, it's easy to see it had no effect on you, Mickey.
00:31:26I'm going to go look for Granger.
00:31:36What was that?
00:31:42Maybe you better tell us what the Bible says about rain.
00:31:46In our situation, we'd better pray that it doesn't rain.
00:31:50Not for weeks, anyway.
00:31:52Because if it does rain in this valley, it'll be coming down through clouds saturated with nuclear death.
00:32:00Maybe we'll be safe, like Noah and the Ark.
00:32:03Right now, there's about 40 wrenches of activity in this room.
00:32:08If it rains, that will move up into the hundreds of wrenches in a matter of hours, and we'll all be dead.
00:32:14Or, like Granger, if we're unlucky.
00:32:19But, maybe the updrafts from the lake will hold the clouds back.
00:32:23They will, Dad.
00:32:26We've been lucky so far.
00:32:28We're going to live.
00:32:29I just feel it.
00:32:30I hope you're right, sweetheart.
00:32:33And if the weather does clear, starting tomorrow, we'll have to go on half rations.
00:32:39How much is half of nothing?
00:32:41I've stored some seeds and grain, and I have books and materials on every craft necessary to sustain life.
00:32:51Mickey Brown, farmer and craftsman.
00:32:55Oh, another thing.
00:32:57We're about out of fresh water, but there's a spring-fed pool not so far from the cliffs.
00:33:03Hey, Joanna.
00:33:05Maybe we could take a swim in the pool.
00:33:07Well, if Dad says it's all right.
00:33:09Oh, it's safe.
00:33:10I checked it today.
00:33:12And starting tomorrow, we can all take turns bathing there.
00:33:15Well, I'm telling you one bit.
00:33:18I've taken more baths in the past two months than I have in all my boring days together.
00:33:24Maybe that's why you're still alive, Tim.
00:33:28Huh?
00:33:40Don't let it touch me.
00:34:06Don't let the rain touch me.
00:34:07It's okay, Grange.
00:34:08The clouds aren't going to come in the valley.
00:34:10You're lying to me.
00:34:11It's going to rain.
00:34:13Come on.
00:34:14Come on.
00:34:15Come on back to the house.
00:34:16Gonna touch me.
00:34:18Grange.
00:34:21Grange, come on back to the house.
00:34:23There we go.
00:35:10This place is spooky even in the sunshine.
00:35:17It feels great, though.
00:35:20It's so quiet.
00:35:22I'd give anything to hear that downtown traffic again.
00:35:26I didn't realize how isolated it would be from the house.
00:35:34You are good-looking.
00:35:37Clean-cut in that bit.
00:35:41There's something new for Mickey.
00:35:44Mickey?
00:35:45Oh, he's all eyes for you.
00:35:49He hasn't even given me the time of day anymore.
00:35:53I'm not interested in Mickey.
00:35:55Well, he better not be.
00:35:56Otherwise, well, I'd have to make a play for Steve.
00:36:04That would be unfair competition for you, baby.
00:36:07Yes, I see what you mean.
00:36:13Mickey always comes back to Mama.
00:36:18Hey, what's the matter, kid?
00:36:20Somebody's watching us.
00:36:23I can feel it.
00:36:26I didn't hear anything.
00:36:29Something's moving over there in the bushes.
00:36:32Oh, it's probably one of the fellas.
00:36:34It's probably old Timothy.
00:36:35Hey, Timothy!
00:36:45Hurry up.
00:36:46Let's get out of here.
00:36:47Grange is not the only one hunting game.
00:37:05And after they've finished off the game, we'll be next.
00:37:11This place is cursed.
00:37:16Steve, we've got to get rid of your brother.
00:37:19John, he's the only way to find out what we're up against.
00:37:21Don't you see that?
00:37:22The animals on the ship.
00:37:25The Matsuo test.
00:37:27They forewarned of something like this.
00:37:30You know, you keep mentioning that.
00:37:31You're going to keep up the mystery or you're going to tell me about it?
00:37:33Tonight.
00:37:35Back at the house, I'll show you after the others have gone to bed.
00:37:37I have the evidence.
00:37:44What's you looking at?
00:37:47You said I didn't see anything at the pool.
00:37:49You said it was just my imagination.
00:37:52That's right.
00:37:53He just became upset.
00:37:55Steve, somebody was looking at me.
00:37:58Tried to talk to me.
00:38:00What did he say?
00:38:02Nothing you'd understand.
00:38:05Nothing I'd understand for that matter.
00:38:08Well, you won't go swimming alone in the pool anymore.
00:38:10I'll stand guard.
00:38:13My skin was tingling.
00:38:15My pulse was pounding.
00:38:18You're still upset.
00:38:19Come on, let's go back to the house.
00:38:20Steve.
00:38:22Do you believe in mental telepathy?
00:38:26I'm afraid I'm reading your thoughts, if that's what you mean.
00:38:31What am I thinking?
00:38:33It's not the same way you were thinking about me a few days ago.
00:38:36I'm sorry, Steve.
00:38:42I just feel like I'd like to be alone right now.
00:38:46I'm sorry, too, Joanne.
00:38:47Mickey, don't scare me like that.
00:38:55I just want to talk to you, that's all.
00:39:10Well, you know, I bet I haven't said a dozen words to you since I got here.
00:39:15Hey, look, what's so bad about me?
00:39:18I don't drink.
00:39:19I don't smoke.
00:39:20And once I even gave some money to a drunken bum.
00:39:23My old man.
00:39:26Come on.
00:39:27Don't give me that hard to get stuff.
00:39:29Come on.
00:39:29Don't.
00:39:32You belong to Jada.
00:39:35I belong to me.
00:39:37Get it?
00:39:39Me.
00:39:39Hey there, buddy.
00:39:50Oh, it's you, Miss Jada.
00:39:52You nearly scared the britches off me.
00:39:55Well, don't do that.
00:39:56Where's your manners?
00:40:02Care if I tasted some of the best whiskey in these mountains?
00:40:07It is whiskey.
00:40:08Hey, where'd you get it?
00:40:11Made it myself, that's where.
00:40:13I make it by the barrels back in my place.
00:40:23It's awful, Jim.
00:40:26The first taste is never good, Miss Jada.
00:40:29It's that long second one that puts hair on your chest.
00:40:38Barry?
00:40:42Barry?
00:40:43Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:41:13You won't believe this, but I just saw Granger walk up
00:41:42the mountain trail through that fog, and it didn't faze him.
00:41:47Do you remember anything about the Matsuo bomb test?
00:41:51Well, there were some vague rumors right after that, weren't there?
00:41:55Something I have to show you.
00:41:57As I told you, my job was to tow the animal ship out of Target Zero.
00:42:03I got the first look at those animals.
00:42:07The newspapers said they were all destroyed.
00:42:10The newspapers lied.
00:42:11Three of those animals lived through it.
00:42:15Through an H-bomb?
00:42:16There was a law against taking photographs,
00:42:18but no law against sketching what we'd seen.
00:42:22There were a thousand animals on that ship.
00:42:24That was a chipmunk.
00:42:30This was alive?
00:42:31Yes.
00:42:32It lived for three days.
00:42:33Our third survivor was a monkey.
00:42:46Its skin looked like rubber,
00:42:48but it felt more like metal.
00:42:50On them plated.
00:42:55Nature's answer to complete nuclear radiation.
00:42:59That's a million years of evolution with one bomb.
00:43:04You say they lived for three days?
00:43:06When we got back to the inspection ship, they were dead.
00:43:09If we could figure out what killed them, it may help us.
00:43:12We never knew.
00:43:14After we washed them down, we went down to inspect.
00:43:17They were normal, except for their appearance,
00:43:20but they refused food and water.
00:43:25New species?
00:43:27Yes.
00:43:29They were the forerunners of whatever it is we have out there.
00:43:33Sometimes I have a feeling of doom.
00:43:38Well, I know this much.
00:43:39There are two forms of life fighting for survival in this valley,
00:43:43and only one can win.
00:43:45John, it's got to be us.
00:43:47You know, I started this thing just to stay alive.
00:43:52But you've given me a deep feeling of responsibility
00:43:54toward the welfare of mankind.
00:43:57Our kind.
00:44:02I think I'll turn in now.
00:44:04Good night, John.
00:44:06Yes.
00:44:07I'll tell the girls the first thing in the morning.
00:44:11Girls?
00:44:12Yes.
00:44:13They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:16Good night.
00:44:37They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:46They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:47They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:48They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:49They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:50They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:51They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:52They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:53They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:54They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:55They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:56They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:57They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:58They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:44:59They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:45:00They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:45:01They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:45:02They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:45:03They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:45:04They should bear children as soon as possible.
00:45:05Ah.
00:45:09You have to have it?
00:45:11Excuse me.
00:45:13I have to try.
00:45:21Steve!
00:45:25That's enough.
00:45:30Mickey.
00:45:32Get your things and get out of this house.
00:45:35You wouldn't do that to an animal, Dad.
00:45:38He stays.
00:45:40Are you all right, love?
00:45:43Get out of my life.
00:45:47Ricky.
00:45:50A sea captain can perform the marriage ceremony in case of an emergency.
00:45:55Joanna, I want you to marry Steve.
00:45:57I want you to have children.
00:46:02There'll be no wedding, Dad, and no children.
00:46:07You have a responsibility to the future.
00:46:10What would Mother say?
00:46:11Your mother?
00:46:12And Larry, what would he say?
00:46:15They're both dead.
00:46:19I'm the only one who knows.
00:46:23Knows?
00:46:24Knows what?
00:46:26Have you been listening to me?
00:46:27Yes, Dad.
00:46:32I'll marry Steve in a week.
00:46:36If he's still alive.
00:46:38And if I am.
00:46:39What are you doing, love?
00:46:57This little gadget's gonna open that storeroom for me.
00:47:01Can you imagine us having a kid?
00:47:10Of course, we won't tell him his mother was a exotic dancer.
00:47:15I wonder what's wrong with Joanna.
00:47:18She goes around in her own little world now.
00:47:22She's flipped.
00:47:23Off the rocker.
00:47:26Maybe we all are.
00:47:28Not me, baby.
00:47:29You still go for her, don't you?
00:47:34You're just plain dirt to her, but you still want her.
00:47:40All I want is a key to open that storeroom.
00:47:46All this time you've been saying it was you and me.
00:47:49But you meant her.
00:47:51You liar.
00:47:53Okay, okay.
00:47:55So I lied a little.
00:47:57A little?
00:47:58The only friend you ever had in this world was me.
00:48:03The only one who ever loved you was me.
00:48:06M.E.
00:48:07Me.
00:48:08Now listen, you deep hood.
00:48:11Present from the hood, lover.
00:48:15Now beat it.
00:48:17I want to finish this key.
00:48:18We can't go up there for at least two more months.
00:48:24And we're running out of supplies.
00:48:27Only enough for about two more weeks.
00:48:29And I run out.
00:48:29Let's see.
00:48:31Let's go.
00:48:31And I'll get it.
00:48:32Come on.
00:48:33Oh, my gosh.
00:48:35Come on.
00:49:06Don't touch him.
00:49:32He's hot.
00:49:35Food.
00:49:37They wouldn't give me any.
00:49:41They?
00:49:42There's more of you up there.
00:49:47Stronger.
00:49:49Much stronger.
00:49:52How many?
00:49:53How many more?
00:49:53He won't be needing food now, poor devil.
00:50:11Look at the head.
00:50:13The strange bone structure.
00:50:16It's like those animals at Matsuo.
00:50:18And the same mutated skin the animals had.
00:50:22And more like him up there.
00:50:25Stronger.
00:50:26Stage two, this one.
00:50:30Stage three, stronger.
00:50:32Stage four, maybe invulnerable.
00:50:35How about stage one?
00:50:36Who's that?
00:50:38That's Granger.
00:50:39My brother is stage one.
00:51:10There's no doubt about it.
00:51:15They're coming closer to the house every night.
00:51:19We'll have to take turns standing guard, Steve.
00:51:21I'd use Mickey, but we can't trust him with a gun in his hand.
00:51:25I know he's kind.
00:51:27Spawned and bilgewater.
00:51:28Spawned and bilgewater.
00:51:40Timothy, sometimes you're a lifesaver.
00:51:46John, we're like two peas in a pod.
00:51:49Sometimes we're feeling, Lord, I have no well.
00:51:53But give it a whack of this stuff.
00:51:56Yeah, give it a whack of this.
00:51:58And we're high as a silk hat on Sunday.
00:52:02Come on, you fiddle lot.
00:52:07Good ass.
00:52:08What's pouring so fast?
00:52:10Come with joddy, Timothy, baby.
00:52:22I want to pay you back for all that ever-loving kindness.
00:52:27Request permission to come aboard, Captain.
00:52:49Permission granted, sailor.
00:52:50Have a nice nap?
00:53:15Fought me.
00:53:17I must have dozed off.
00:53:18Say, have you seen Tim?
00:53:21He's not in the house anyplace.
00:53:23He's probably sleeping it off in the woods somewhere.
00:53:26You know, I'm really worried about that old coot.
00:53:28He shouldn't have broken his jug.
00:53:30You're right.
00:53:31I had no idea he was an alcoholic.
00:53:34Well, if he doesn't show up by daybreak, I'll go out and find him.
00:53:37I'll go with you.
00:53:38It was my mistake.
00:53:42You don't suppose he tried to get back up over those cliffs, do you?
00:53:45Well, he'd better not.
00:53:48If he does, it'll be the end of him.
00:53:53Good night.
00:53:53Good night.
00:54:15Good night.
00:54:17It's just a little rabbit.
00:54:47My God!
00:55:05It's just a little rabbit.
00:55:17It's just a little rabbit.
00:55:29Tim!
00:55:49Tim, don't.
00:55:55Don't go into that fog.
00:55:57Don't go into that fog.
00:56:21You'll be killed, sure.
00:56:31Don't go into that fog.
00:56:45John!
00:56:47Steve!
00:56:49What happened?
00:56:50Oh, I've sprained my ankle.
00:56:52Where's Tim?
00:56:54Back up over the cliff.
00:56:56He went back to his whiskey still.
00:57:00Did you go after him?
00:57:04Into that vapor?
00:57:06How long are we up there?
00:57:08A minute?
00:57:09An hour?
00:57:10What difference does it make?
00:57:12Steve, I've had the course.
00:57:15Well, come on.
00:57:16We'll get you washed up.
00:57:19Don't tell Joanna.
00:57:21I've just got a sprained ankle, understand?
00:57:24Sure, John.
00:57:25Come on.
00:57:26Let's get back to the house.
00:57:45He's dead.
00:57:47Believe me, Steve, it's better this way.
00:57:54Poor Granger.
00:57:57Now my whole family's gone.
00:57:59No, Steve.
00:58:00You and Joanna are the new family now.
00:58:03Perhaps for the whole human race.
00:58:09Look at those punctures.
00:58:12It's like...
00:58:13like three steel claws.
00:58:17It's like the hand of the monkey in your drawings.
00:58:25Matt Shullo.
00:58:47Steve!
00:58:57What is it, Joanna?
00:58:59In there.
00:59:00In the bushes.
00:59:01Where?
00:59:02What is it?
00:59:03Someone was calling to me.
00:59:05That's just your imagination.
00:59:06No!
00:59:07I wasn't 40 feet away from you and I didn't hear a thing.
00:59:09Oh, please, Steve, take me home.
00:59:11Please.
00:59:12Joanna insists this thing tried to talk to her.
00:59:27How about the way it looked?
00:59:29She said it looked like an ape.
00:59:33The sketches of Matt Shullo, the monkey.
00:59:36But this thing is man-sized.
00:59:39It means it's a man, not an ape.
00:59:42How do we fight it?
00:59:43How do we kill it?
00:59:45You're the one who said we'd come up with an answer.
00:59:48But how?
00:59:49It eats contaminated flesh, breathes contaminated air.
00:59:53The things that kill a man, it thrives on.
00:59:56What's the point?
00:59:57You're driving at something.
01:00:00Just that in order to kill it, we must first understand it.
01:00:03And we know it has fears.
01:00:05It was close enough to Joanna to attack her, but it wouldn't follow her into the pool.
01:00:09But if you're talking about the water issue, it's what the district tries to kill her.
01:00:10I think the people who don't come to believe.
01:00:11Controlication is a very tricky thing.
01:00:12And if she's at the beginning of the process of both of the day, we can be walking in the auto there.
01:00:14Okay, go.
01:00:15Go.
01:00:16Go.
01:00:17Go.
01:00:18Go.
01:00:19Go.
01:00:20Go.
01:00:21Go.
01:00:22Go.
01:00:23Go.
01:00:24Go.
01:00:25Go.
01:00:26Go.
01:00:27Go.
01:00:28Go.
01:00:29Go.
01:00:31Go.
01:00:32Go.
01:00:33Go.
01:00:34Go.
01:00:35Go.
01:00:37Go.
01:00:38Don't scream. I mean it.
01:00:55What do you want?
01:00:57I've never had time for your kind of woman.
01:01:00You're something new in my life.
01:01:01No. No.
01:01:04Well, you won't hate me when there's just the two of us.
01:01:06There'd be no point to it.
01:01:07Don't get what I mean?
01:01:08No.
01:01:09No.
01:01:09Mickey!
01:01:10No.
01:01:11Mickey!
01:01:12Let the kid alone.
01:01:19Joanna, go back to the house.
01:01:21I have a few words for this child molester here.
01:01:27You don't know when you're through, do you?
01:01:31You said the two of us.
01:01:33But all along you met her.
01:01:36Yeah, that's right. Now you know.
01:01:38You and your dime store stuff.
01:01:41You're cheap.
01:01:42A cheapie.
01:01:43I didn't know how cheap you are till I met her.
01:01:46She hates your guts.
01:01:50You're cheap to her.
01:01:53She'd rather kill herself first.
01:02:00Come on.
01:02:03Let's not fight like a couple of kids.
01:02:05Let's go take a moonlight swim, huh?
01:02:11Beat it.
01:02:13I don't want any part of you.
01:02:15Go.
01:02:20All right.
01:02:23Okay.
01:02:24Ready.
01:02:25Let's go.
01:02:27All right.
01:05:48John, you know me better than that.
01:05:50It's the same feeling that made you go up the mountain, Tim.
01:05:54There's so much at stake.
01:05:56At least carry a gun.
01:05:58Here.
01:06:00Get one.
01:06:01Out of the store room.
01:06:02Get it now.
01:06:04And be ready to use it.
01:06:06How long before a guy can get out of here?
01:06:16As far as I'm concerned, you can leave now.
01:06:20You know, all this reminds me of that kid song.
01:06:25Ten little Indians.
01:06:27That got knocked off one at a time.
01:06:30Same way with us.
01:06:32First there was seven.
01:06:34Now there's...
01:06:36Now there's...
01:06:38Three little, two little, one little Indian.
01:06:42Then there was nine.
01:06:45Buy that again.
01:06:48Please.
01:06:49Try that again.
01:06:51Not me, Captain.
01:06:53I know when to coot.
01:06:55Like right now.
01:06:59Three little, two little, one little Indian.
01:07:19I can't go in there.
01:07:21Then there's a half of them.
01:07:23I can't go in there.
01:07:25If you're too hot.
01:07:26I can't wait.
01:07:27You're good.
01:07:29Here's the other one.
01:07:31I can see.
01:07:33I can see you.
01:07:34I can leave it with him.
01:07:35It's time to stretch out.
01:07:37When to go in there.
01:07:38I can still kind of go in there.
01:07:39It's a little bit.
01:07:40I can't go in there.
01:07:41I can see you.
01:10:12She's not in her room.
01:10:13I have a strange feeling.
01:10:15She's in danger, Steve.
01:10:16The thing.
01:10:18The thing out there has got my baby.
01:10:20I'm going after her.
01:10:20Wait.
01:10:21There's a special Luger in the storeroom with a 30-round magazine.
01:10:25Get it.
01:10:27Steve.
01:10:27Put your revolver under my pillow.
01:10:30Put your revolver under my pillow.
01:10:30You won't need it.
01:10:34If there's no other way, use that Luger on Joanna.
01:10:38Joanna!
01:10:47Joanna!
01:10:47Joanna!
01:10:47Joanna!
01:10:47Now, that's better, Captain.
01:11:01Now, that's better, Captain.
01:11:17If there's two men and only one gun, I'd like to have it.
01:11:22It looks like your ship's falling apart, don't it?
01:11:26Well, you've been no help.
01:11:29You wouldn't find Jada.
01:11:31You wouldn't help Steve look for Joanna, or you're lower than scum.
01:11:35I'm a coward.
01:11:39I only fight when I have to, and on my own conditions.
01:11:43And one of them is that I know what I'm fighting.
01:11:50Joanna!
01:11:57Three little, two little, one little Indian.
01:12:01You know, you're a sucker.
01:12:03I know you went after old Tim, into that fog.
01:12:07Kill yourself with that worthless old coot.
01:12:11Oh, that's why you're acting so brave.
01:12:14That's why you're moving in.
01:12:16Moving in?
01:12:17Oh.
01:12:19I'm taking over the works, the house, your daughter.
01:12:25If she gets back, I'd make a better old man for her kids than Steve Wood.
01:12:30They'd be tough, like me.
01:12:33It looks like it will rain after all.
01:12:40You still think that rain will kill us all?
01:12:43You'll know soon enough.
01:12:45Joanna!
01:13:02Joanna!
01:13:08Joanna!
01:13:39Here, Steve. Over here. The water. It's afraid of the water.
01:14:09There's your rain, Captain. Good. How long do you think we'll live now?
01:14:32Well, here. Get me a sample of the rainwater and I'll test it.
01:14:39It doesn't register. That's pure water.
01:15:02Well, what do you know? Just plain old rainwater.
01:15:09That's it. Water. It's afraid of water.
01:15:16Joanne and Steve may be safe.
01:15:19What's afraid, Captain? You cracking up on me?
01:15:22Don't you see, you idiot? That thing out there, that atomic fiend.
01:15:26It's afraid of pure water. That's why it wouldn't go in the pool.
01:15:30What are you thinking in that sick mind of yours?
01:15:40What are you thinking in that sick mind of yours?
01:15:56Simple. I'm gonna shoot Steve right between the eyes.
01:16:02In God's name. Why?
01:16:05Well, I thought you knew, smart man.
01:16:09I want Joanna.
01:16:11I don't hear it anymore.
01:16:16Hear what?
01:16:18The weird sound.
01:16:20He tried to speak to me.
01:16:25Steve, it was Larry.
01:16:30What killed him?
01:16:32Well, he was created to live in a contaminated atmosphere.
01:16:37I guess the rain must be pure.
01:16:42He couldn't stand it.
01:16:43I guess that means that all the other people like Larry will be killed by the rain too.
01:16:48Then there is a future.
01:16:50Yes, Joanna.
01:16:57Mickey!
01:17:07The End
01:17:16The End
01:17:18The End
