00:03:55Let's go.

00:03:56Let's go.

00:03:57Let's go.

00:03:58Kem practically.

00:03:59Oh.

00:04:00REVSIA come on.

00:04:01Oh.

00:04:02Oh, well, we did.

00:04:03There's a big deal.

00:04:04It's like a mess.

00:04:05Oh, my period.

00:04:07It had suckers on them.

00:04:08Like one of them, uh...

00:04:11like one of them octipuses, things.

00:04:12Oh, it was one of them octopus things.

00:04:15Oh, that wasっていう of me.

00:04:16No, Steve, I was in control.

00:04:17Oh.

00:04:18Oh, I was the most motivated impacted.

00:04:22Which was the most vulnerable.

00:04:23You know, good.

00:04:26All of them have come any other into trouble.

00:04:27Hey.

00:04:28either. I've been poaching

00:04:30this country for 40 years, and I

00:04:32ain't never seen nothing

00:04:34like it. Well, too bad you

00:04:36didn't bring it back. Steve Benton probably

00:04:38paid a fair bounty for him, whatever it was.

00:04:41Bounty?

00:04:42I wouldn't touch that

00:04:44critter for all the money ever

00:04:46made. And if you seen

00:04:48it, you wouldn't either.

00:04:50You better take it easy on this stuff. You're looking

00:04:52kind of peaked.

00:04:55No.

00:04:56I'm gonna clean my

00:04:57otter lines out before morning.

00:05:00Lem, I think that critter's

00:05:02a ghost of one of those

00:05:03otters you've been poaching all these years, coming back

00:05:05to haunt you.

00:05:09Well, if that's so,

00:05:11you fairs will see it

00:05:13right quick yourselves.

00:05:15That's a pleasure.

00:05:22Oh, that's all right.

00:05:25Oh, my boy, it's all right.

00:05:30Come on.

00:05:31Come on.

00:05:32Look, it's not like I want to be mean or anything like that, Liz, baby.

00:06:00But I got a reputation around here.

00:06:02These folks have no respect for a man who lets his woman boss him.

00:06:06Well, next thing I know, they'll be laughing at me.

00:06:09And they'll be telling all the rest of them.

00:06:11Won't you please listen to me, Liz, baby?

00:06:15Liz?

00:06:16Liz?

00:06:17Liz?

00:06:18Liz?

00:06:19Liz?

00:06:20Liz?

00:06:21Liz?

00:06:22Liz?

00:06:23Liz?

00:06:24Liz?

00:06:25Liz?

00:06:26Liz?

00:06:27Liz?

00:06:28Liz?

00:06:29Liz?

00:06:30Liz?

00:06:31Liz?

00:06:32Liz?

00:06:33Liz?

00:06:34Liz?

00:06:35Liz?

00:06:36Liz?

00:06:37Liz?

00:06:38Liz?

00:06:39Liz?

00:06:40Liz?

00:06:41Liz?

00:06:42Stop looking at me like that.

00:06:50I'll look at you any way I want, you my wife.

00:07:08Don't touch me.

00:07:09Who do you think you're talking to?

00:07:11Don't touch me.

00:07:12You're my wife.

00:07:13I'll touch you any time I feel like it.

00:07:22Where you going?

00:07:27Where you going?

00:07:30I'm going out.

00:07:33Maybe I'll be back.

00:07:35Maybe I won't.

00:07:36This baby, I don't mean nothing.

00:07:38What do you think?

00:07:51Well, there was a young one in that last trap.

00:08:10I had to kill it.

00:08:10Oh, poor thing.

00:08:12Told you you shouldn't have come along.

00:08:14Well, I can understand hunting an animal, but making it suffer in those traps, it's horrible.

00:08:26Well, these poachers know the swamp's like the back of their hands.

00:08:29But I'll catch one of them in the axe some night and put him away for six months.

00:08:33In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied confiscating their trap lines.

00:08:36They lose enough traps, it won't pay them to keep trying.

00:08:38Well, be careful, darling.

00:08:40These people aren't like other folks.

00:08:42You know, they'll try and get back at you.

00:08:44Let them try.

00:08:46Steve, you're a stranger here.

00:08:48They've lived this way for generations.

00:08:50One man isn't going to change them overnight.

00:08:52You're a real worrywart.

00:08:54I'm serious, Steve.

00:08:56They can be dangerous.

00:08:57Okay, I'll be careful.

00:09:00You just stop worrying.

00:09:08Oh, Steve, I love you.

00:09:10I love you so much.

00:09:14What was that?

00:09:19I don't know.

00:09:19You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:21I love you.

00:09:22You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:28You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:30You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:31You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:32You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:33You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:34You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:35You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:36You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:37You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:38You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:39You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:40You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:41You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:42You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:43You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:44You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:45You get in that truck and lock it up.

00:09:46Listen, Benton, the coroner ruled that Sawyer died by misadventure.

00:10:04Now, as far as this officer's concerned, that's the end of it.

00:10:07But, Sheriff, I can't see why the...

00:10:08Look, if Lem was killed by anything human, I wouldn't need you to tell me my job.

00:10:12But I'm not about to go tromping through the swamp looking for an overgrown gator.

00:10:17Sawyer wasn't killed by an alligator.

00:10:19Is that so?

00:10:21Did you hear that, Morton?

00:10:22Game Warden Benton says there wasn't a gator who killed Lem.

00:10:26Well, then, what was it?

00:10:27You know so much.

00:10:28Go on, tell me.

00:10:28What killed him?

00:10:30Doc Grayson said the wounds were the kind of squid or a large octopus might cause.

00:10:35Oh, sure.

00:10:35And did Grayson explain how a saltwater creature happened to be 30 miles inland living in clear water?

00:10:41Stranger things have happened.

00:10:43I know that...

00:10:43Look here, Benton.

00:10:44You work for the state.

00:10:46Now, why don't you keep your nose out of county business?

00:10:49Is that clear enough for you?

00:10:52Oh, go soak your fat head.

00:10:57What was that you said?

00:10:58I said go soak your fat head.

00:11:00Oh, that boy's looking for bad trouble.

00:11:10And he's sure going to get it.

00:11:12You can bet on that.

00:11:14So, you see, the octopi uses its suction discs to hold its prey.

00:11:27Now, in itself, the disc will not inflict a wound.

00:11:30Same is true of the squid.

00:11:31Now, both creatures have a parrot-like beak as their primary offensive and defensive weapon.

00:11:36Well, maybe the sheriff was right, Dad.

00:11:38Could be a freak or a malformed alligator.

00:11:44No.

00:11:45No, I'm afraid it wasn't.

00:11:48Well, where does that leave us, Doc?

00:11:50I wish I knew.

00:11:52You know, I'm beginning to think Len was telling the truth in Walker's store.

00:11:56He did see something that night.

00:11:59Something that had intelligence enough to seek him out and destroy him later.

00:12:03But Sawyer claims to have killed the thing he saw.

00:12:05Put a half a dozen rifle bullets into it.

00:12:08I've seen that old .44-40 he used.

00:12:10Nothing could live after being hit with those slugs.

00:12:13Well, conceding the possibility of one such creature,

00:12:17we must also concede the possibility of others.

00:12:22Well, there's one sure way of finding out.

00:12:25Go in and search every backwater, channel, and wet spot in the swamp.

00:12:29If it's there, I'll find it.

00:12:32I'll find it.

00:13:02Sure is bright around here.

00:13:32Did you hear something?

00:13:54Yes.

00:14:00Well, whatever it was, it's not here anymore.

00:14:02Do you want some coffee?

00:14:11Yeah, thanks, son.

00:14:15An army could hide in here and never be noticed.

00:14:18One did.

00:14:19What?

00:14:21The Seminoles under Osceola in the 1830s.

00:14:24Took the U.S. Army two years to round them up.

00:14:27I remember reading about Osceola in high school.

00:14:30Two years.

00:14:31You've only been out of two days and I feel worn out.

00:14:36Well, you might as well keep on looking around.

00:14:39You might as well.

00:14:40The Seminoles under Osceola.

00:14:44Yeah.

00:14:45Well, I guess we may as well give up for today.

00:15:12Well, you won't get any argument from me.

00:15:15I'll take it.

00:15:16Well, I guess I'll take it.

00:15:17I'll take it.

00:15:19It's a very nice little dream.

00:15:22I'll take it.

00:15:25I'll take it.

00:15:30I'll take it.

00:15:34I'll take it.

00:15:39I'm asking you for the last time, Dave Walker.

00:16:02You answer me, you dirty old man!

00:16:06I ain't dirty, Liz, baby.

00:16:08Liz, baby.

00:16:10Liz, honey!

00:16:12Can't you think of anything else to say, stupid?

00:16:14I gotta get this order over to Miss Chauvey.

00:16:16She's one of my better customers.

00:16:18Can't keep her waiting.

00:16:22I love you, Liz, baby.

00:16:25Get out.

00:16:27Get out, you fat pig!

00:16:37You, uh, have some trouble, Dave?

00:16:49You know living, Cal.

00:16:51Gotta get the hair down every now and then.

00:16:54You sure don't know an awful lot about females.

00:16:57I gotta hand it to you.

00:16:59I can't stand here, John, Cal.

00:17:02Gotta get this order over to Miss Chauvey.

00:17:04What's she letting her hair down about this time?

00:17:07Well,

00:17:08ever since Lynn got herself killed,

00:17:12she wants me to sell out and move into town.

00:17:15Don't you let her bamboozle you, Dave.

00:17:18You keep her right here in the store.

00:17:19After all,

00:17:22the place wouldn't be seen without you around.

00:17:25Thanks, Cal.

00:17:26I better get going.

00:17:27See when I get back.

00:17:29Yeah, I'll be around.

00:17:46Liz, baby.

00:17:46It's Cal, honey.

00:18:01You want something, Cal?

00:18:07I sure do, honey.

00:18:08I sure do, honey.

00:18:16Quiet.

00:18:27Oh, I'm dead.

00:18:29Me too.

00:18:31Come on over here.

00:18:41Well, that seems kind of silly

00:18:43knocking ourselves out

00:18:44looking for something

00:18:44we aren't even sure exists.

00:18:47What do you mean?

00:18:49You know,

00:18:50we've covered miles of back channel

00:18:52and haven't come across anything

00:18:53to support your father's theory

00:18:55of an alien creature.

00:18:57Not so much as a mud print

00:18:58we couldn't identify.

00:19:01I know.

00:19:04You're not going to give up,

00:19:05are you, Steve?

00:19:06Well,

00:19:07I can't waste any more time

00:19:09on a wild goose chase.

00:19:10with all respect

00:19:13to your father's ideas.

00:19:17Dad seems so sure.

00:19:19I can't waste any more time

00:19:20I can't waste any more time

00:19:21I can't waste any more time

00:19:22I can't waste any more time

00:19:23I can't waste any more time

00:19:24I can't waste any more time

00:19:25I can't waste any more time

00:19:26I can't waste any more time

00:19:27I can't waste any more time

00:19:28I can't waste any more time

00:19:29I can't waste any more time

00:19:30I can't waste any more time

00:19:31I can't waste any more time

00:19:32I can't waste any more time

00:19:33Yes, some woman, Liz.

00:20:00Yes, I reckon I haven't met a woman like you before.

00:20:07You really like me, Cal?

00:20:11You're kidding me.

00:20:13No, it didn't hurt you now, did I?

00:20:17It's just so strong.

00:20:21I like him in it strong.

00:20:26You sure picked a doozy than man, Dave.

00:20:29I don't think he's got a muscle in him.

00:20:32Just a big piece of flab.

00:20:36Oh, honey, I didn't mean anything against you.

00:20:41Just that I can't see a real woman like you

00:20:44tying in with a tub of lard like him.

00:20:50You wouldn't understand, Cal.

00:20:52You know, I've wanted to tell you.

00:20:58You just wouldn't understand.

00:21:01You're trying to.

00:21:03Come on, you tell old Cal all about it.

00:21:12You wouldn't think bad of me?

00:21:13Crazy.

00:21:17You tell me you killed your pa and your ma

00:21:19and your whole family.

00:21:21I fight to protect you.

00:21:23ITruth Oh, man.

00:21:33I'm sorry.

00:21:34I'm sorry.

00:21:36I think that's right.

00:21:39I'm sorry.

00:21:40What are you doing?

00:21:40First husband was a no-good bum.

00:22:07He couldn't keep a job more than a week.

00:22:13He used to get lushed up, come home beat up on me.

00:22:17You must have been a prize pig.

00:22:21One night he tried to hold up a gas station.

00:22:24He was so drunk he couldn't even run.

00:22:28He caught him less than a mile away.

00:22:31He got set up.

00:22:34He got a divorce.

00:22:37That's rough.

00:22:40After three years working on a lousy beanie, I was ready for the first guy that said a nice word to me.

00:22:47It was Dave.

00:22:49That's it.

00:22:51I wish it had been me.

00:22:53I don't know how to take care of a woman like you, Liz.

00:22:56Maybe it ain't too late, Cal.

00:22:58You're wrong, woman.

00:23:09It's too late for the both of you.

00:23:12Get up.

00:23:15Get up.

00:23:17Now look, Dave.

00:23:18I know what you're thinking, but...

00:23:20I got double large shot in this here thing.

00:23:24You got two seconds or four up on the trigger.

00:23:30No part getting riled, Dave.

00:23:33Wasn't my fault, but...

00:23:35She's been testing me for months to take her out.

00:23:38Sure, Cal.

00:23:39I understand.

00:23:41Get her up so I could get a better look at the line, little tramp.

00:23:45Come on.

00:23:46Get up.

00:23:48Come on.

00:23:49Get up.

00:23:50No, Cal.

00:23:51No.

00:23:52He killed me.

00:23:53He killed me.

00:23:54Jump.

00:23:55Your husband wants to take a look at you.

00:24:00You walk all the way, Dave?

00:24:03One more step and I'll blow your plumbing too.

00:24:06Get over there.

00:24:08Now...

00:24:09Now, Dave, it ain't as bad as you think.

00:24:11Shut up!

00:24:13Trame.

00:24:15What are you gonna do?

00:24:16You'll find out soon enough.

00:24:20Dave, you put down that gun before I get mad and make you eat it!

00:24:24You go ahead and try it, Cal.

00:24:26Go right ahead and try it.

00:24:29Move!

00:24:30Move!

00:25:03I can't go anywhere, brother.

00:25:16No.

00:25:17Come on.

00:25:18No.

00:25:19Come on.

00:25:33Run, run.

00:25:46Run till you drop.

00:26:03I can't go anywhere.

00:26:13I can't.

00:26:14You've got to let me.

00:26:15Stop it.

00:26:16I can't go anywhere.

00:26:18I can't go anywhere.

00:26:19I can't go anywhere.

00:26:20I can't go anywhere.

00:26:22I can't.

00:26:33Come on.

00:26:35Keep going.

00:26:36Dave.

00:26:37Please, you've got to listen.

00:26:39It wasn't my fault, Honest.

00:26:40She'd complain up to me every time you turned your back.

00:26:41It wasn't my fault.

00:26:42You could.

00:26:43You could.

00:26:44You could.

00:26:45You could.

00:26:46I could.

00:26:47You could.

00:26:48I could.

00:26:49You could.

00:26:50No.

00:26:51No.

00:26:52No.

00:26:53No.

00:26:54No.

00:26:55No.

00:26:56No.

00:26:57No.

00:26:58No.

00:26:59No.

00:27:00No.

00:27:01No.

00:27:02No.

00:27:03yourself a man. You and your muscles. Shut up, you champ. If it wasn't you, I wouldn't

00:27:10be in this fix. And my old friend Dave wouldn't be doing this thing to me. It's all your fault.

00:27:18Get going. But Dave, we've been friends a long time, Dave. You wouldn't kill an old

00:27:26friend, Dave. If you don't move, I'll kill you where you stand. But Dave.

00:27:33Pray, big man. Dave. I didn't mean it, Dave. Dave, I didn't mean it. Dave, my kid is out

00:27:48here. Please, Dave. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry, Dave.

00:28:03Dave. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. You think you'll learn

00:28:14enough to stay away from a woman, Carol? Oh, anything, Dave? I'm over there. I'm over

00:28:20the county. I'll do anything you say, Dave. Anything. All right. Come on out of there.

00:28:28I'm over there. Oh, Dave. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Behind you.

00:28:45There ain't nothin' down here, Sheriff.

00:29:03Well, I'm gettin' tired of this.

00:29:06Come on in, boys.

00:29:12Well, if there was any bodies out there, we'd have found them.

00:29:16I want some straight answers, Walter.

00:29:19And don't give me any more of that crud about monsters, either.

00:29:23Where'd you hide them after you killed them?

00:29:26I told you the truth, Sheriff.

00:29:29I didn't kill them.

00:29:32I just wanted to scare them good.

00:29:36I loved my Liz.

00:29:39I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

00:29:42I loved her.

00:29:44Sure.

00:29:45You loved her.

00:29:47That's why you chased her through the swamp with a shotgun.

00:29:51Come on, Walker.

00:29:52Where'd you hide the bodies?

00:29:55Won't you believe me?

00:29:56There were some monsters.

00:29:58They...

00:29:58Take him out of here before I lose my temper.

00:30:00County pay a reward if someone finds a body, Sheriff.

00:30:13Fifty dollars.

00:30:14Fifty dollars.

00:30:17Each.

00:30:19Yeah.

00:30:24You know, I never thought that of old Dave.

00:30:27Of course, ever they knowed that Cal and Liz had a hankering for each other.

00:30:31Everybody but old Dave.

00:30:34Dern fools.

00:30:36Grappling out there in the middle of the water.

00:30:39If them bodies are still in there, you can bet some old bull gators got them stuffed in his cave under the bank,

00:30:47letting them ripen up for a few days.

00:30:49Yeah, well, what we need now is some long cypress poles to go in there and pull them gator caves.

00:30:57I'm sorry, Doc.

00:31:13I can't do it.

00:31:15I'll have to do it myself.

00:31:17Wouldn't want to have to arrest you, Doc, but I will if I find you near the preserve with any explosives.

00:31:21Steve.

00:31:22Sorry, Nan.

00:31:23That's the way it's got to be.

00:31:25Steve right, Nan.

00:31:26It's his job to protect wildlife.

00:31:28What about human life?

00:31:30Three people have been killed in that game preserve.

00:31:33Doesn't that mean anything to you?

00:31:35Nan, try to understand.

00:31:36If I could be sure something in the swamp was responsible for those deaths, I wouldn't hesitate a minute.

00:31:42We've been together the last three days.

00:31:44We didn't see a trace of anything unusual.

00:31:47Not so much as a suggestion of any form of life unknown to us.

00:31:51Steve, something killed those people.

00:31:54All right.

00:31:55I'll admit Sawyer's death left a lot of questions unanswered.

00:31:58But you can bet your bottom dollar the other two died from Dave Walker's shotgun.

00:32:02Do you really believe that?

00:32:03Figure it out, Nan.

00:32:05Walker admitted chasing his wife and cow into the swamps after he found them together.

00:32:09He shot them and he tried to place the blame on Sawyer's DTs.

00:32:12If Sawyer had been told of seeing a purple giraffe with polka dot tails, Walker would have claimed they did it.

00:32:18There's one argument against that, Steve.

00:32:21Dave Walker wasn't the kind of a man to hang himself.

00:32:23Not even with two murder charges against him.

00:32:26I talked with Dave less than an hour before he killed himself.

00:32:29That man was in a state of shock.

00:32:31I've seen frightened men before, terrified men.

00:32:33But I've never seen anything to compare with the horror and the fear in Walker's eyes.

00:32:38Well, he realized what he'd done and he killed two people.

00:32:41One his wife.

00:32:43Oh, look, Doc.

00:32:43Nan and I were all over that swamp.

00:32:45And why didn't these monsters attack us?

00:32:48I've been thinking about that.

00:32:50They're probably night creatures.

00:32:51They can't stand the light.

00:32:52They stay down near the bottom during the day.

00:32:55A small charge would stun them, bring them to the surface.

00:32:59Can't buy it, Doc.

00:33:00You're pig-headed, Steve Benton.

00:33:04Stoddard and pig-headed.

00:33:06You just don't understand, do you?

00:33:08No.

00:33:16Good night, Doc.

00:33:30Right over there in them reeds.

00:33:56It's where that big one used to be.

00:34:26Yeah.

00:34:28There's some great catfish in that hole.

00:34:49Boy, this is sure a hot one.

00:34:51Right unseasonable.

00:35:00Sure is funny.

00:35:02Huh?

00:35:03Ain't you noticed anything?

00:35:05No, what?

00:35:06We've been prodding around you all morning.

00:35:08Ain't run across a single gator.

00:35:12By rights, this pool should be crawling with him.

00:35:15Sure funny.

00:35:18Yeah, that is funny.

00:35:20I don't like the looks of things.

00:35:22Let's call it a day.

00:35:24Well, now, wait a minute.

00:35:25We ain't pulled the gator holes around the bin yet.

00:35:27You do what you want to do, boy.

00:35:29Just get me on dry land.

00:35:31And right quick.

00:35:32All right.

00:35:33Now, ain't no use getting all head up.

00:35:35Let's go.

00:35:35You got to quit drinking that moonshine.

00:35:41Yeah.

00:35:43That's why just a wrinkly bug.

00:35:49No way out here.

00:35:51Wild goose chasing.

00:35:52Wild goose chasing.

00:36:06Wild goose chasing.

00:36:08Wild goose chasing.

00:36:10Wild goose chasing.

00:36:11Wild goose chasing.

00:36:12Wild goose chasing.

00:36:13Wild goose chasing.

00:36:14Wild goose chasing.

00:36:15Wild goose chasing.

00:36:16Wild goose chasing.

00:36:17Wild goose chasing.

00:36:18Wild goose chasing.

00:36:19Wild goose chasing.

00:36:20Wild goose chasing.

00:36:21Wild goose chasing.

00:36:22Oh

00:36:52Oh

00:37:22We've been calling but there's been no answer

00:37:42Oh I just got back

00:37:43What seems to be the trouble

00:37:45Well haven't you heard

00:37:46Old Sam Peters and Porky Reed have disappeared

00:37:49Come on inside

00:37:51You know Covis

00:37:58Nothing would please him more than to have all the swamp people disappear

00:38:02Swamp trash he calls them

00:38:04I know

00:38:05They have about as much regard for him as he has for them

00:38:09When they're worried enough to go to him

00:38:12You know something's wrong

00:38:14Mrs. Reed said the men went searching for Cal and Mrs. Walker's bodies

00:38:18And they never returned

00:38:19Covis says he'll get up a search party if they don't show up in a couple of days

00:38:23Doc you and Nan take your car and get as many volunteers as you can

00:38:29Tell them to meet me at the old wagon road

00:38:31I'll call Doak Evans and have him bring his dogs

00:38:34Either they're lost or they've had an accident

00:38:37I hope to heaven you're right

00:38:39I hope to heaven you're right

00:38:40No

00:38:49No

00:38:58No

00:39:02THE END

00:39:32THE END

00:40:02Well, they picked up the scent anyway

00:40:05Dad, do you think they'll find them?

00:40:10Only the good Lord can answer that

00:40:11Well, at least we know they got this far

00:40:31All right, let's spit up into two parties and circle the lake

00:40:35Keep your eyes open

00:40:36Let's move out

00:40:38All right, let's move out

00:40:45All right, let's move out

00:40:52All right, let's move out

00:40:59All clear

00:41:22It's clear over here

00:41:27All right

00:41:36All right

00:41:43All right

00:41:53Let's keep moving

00:41:56All right

00:42:08All right

00:42:09All right

00:42:09Let's keep moving

00:42:09Well, we can't do anything more tonight

00:42:35Might as well start back

00:42:36I reckon it ain't no use hurrying now, Mr. Benton

00:42:38Reed and old Sam was alive

00:42:41They'd let us know in with a hollow or something

00:42:43Yeah, it kind of looks that way

00:42:45You fellas notice anything about this lake?

00:42:49I mean, the gators

00:42:50What about them?

00:42:51They ain't

00:42:52A piece of water

00:42:53A piece of water this size

00:42:53Usually has maybe 50, 60 big ones around

00:42:56A whole lot of little ones

00:42:58It's real unnatural

00:43:00Well, maybe our torture scared them away

00:43:03Nothing scares gators

00:43:04Nothing

00:43:05Animal or human

00:43:07Well, we might as well get out of here

00:43:11You got something in mind, Steve?

00:43:24I keep thinking what Evan said about the gators

00:43:27Nothing scares them, animal or human

00:43:30And yet something made them leave

00:43:32Maybe a

00:43:33Maybe a mineral contamination

00:43:35Guess I better run some water samples

00:43:37Come on, you two

00:43:39Drink your coffee

00:43:39And supposing there is no contamination?

00:43:45Well, then I'll send over to Eastport for a diving rig

00:43:48And go down to look for this monster of yours

00:43:50No, Steve, don't even joke like that

00:43:52I'm not joking, man

00:43:54I had some training with an aqualung while I was in the Navy

00:43:56But, Steve

00:43:57Look, there are two bodies we know for sure down there

00:44:00Maybe four

00:44:00They've got to be brought up

00:44:02Wait a minute

00:44:03There are no alligators in that part of the swamp, right?

00:44:06So?

00:44:07No sign of any fish or snakes?

00:44:10No

00:44:10What are you getting at, Doc?

00:44:13Well, there goes your argument about setting off a dynamite charge underwater

00:44:16You'd bring the bodies to the surface

00:44:18Get it out of your mind, Doc

00:44:21I'm not using any explosives as long as there's another way

00:44:24Why must you be such a...

00:44:25Stubborn pig head?

00:44:27Exactly

00:44:27I'll tell you why

00:44:29Number one, there's bound to be some Aquarian life in that section

00:44:32Even if the bigger forms have abandoned it

00:44:34Explosion underwater would destroy every living thing

00:44:38And wreck what nature took years to build up

00:44:40Number two, I'm paid to prevent the useless slaughter of wildlife

00:44:44Number three, I'd have to get authorization

00:44:47And to get that authorization, I'd have to come up with a heck of a good reason

00:44:51Satisfied?

00:44:55Finish up, Dad

00:44:56I want to go home

00:44:57Uh, Steve

00:44:59How long would it take to get this diving equipment from Eastport?

00:45:02Hmm, a couple of days, why?

00:45:06Oh, nothing

00:45:07Take care of yourself, Steve

00:45:12Well, here's hoping

00:45:21Dad

00:45:22Can't you throw the dynamite in from here?

00:45:25No, I want to get it out into the middle

00:45:27In the deepest part

00:45:32All right

00:45:33All right

00:45:34All right

00:45:37All right

00:45:39All right

00:46:02Go, go, go!

00:46:32Go, go, go!

00:46:54Let you go any minute.

00:47:02Go, go, go!

00:47:32I just can't figure it out.

00:47:54Walker's wife, why didn't her body come to the surface?

00:47:58I don't know.

00:48:02I think I'd better walk over to the coroner's office.

00:48:05What's the matter, Mr. Benton?

00:48:07Do you feel awkward about arresting my father in his own home?

00:48:10I warned him I'd arrest him if he used dynamite.

00:48:13That's nice of you.

00:48:17Well, the autopsy should be over by now.

00:48:19Oh, Steve.

00:48:23I thought you'd be here.

00:48:25I don't like to have to do this, Doctor.

00:48:28Do we have time for a cup of coffee first?

00:48:31Sure.

00:48:32Mind, honey?

00:48:33No, I'll make some sandwiches.

00:48:46One thing is certain for all the good it'll do now.

00:48:50Dave Walker didn't shoot Cal.

00:48:52I just come from the autopsies.

00:48:57Covers tried to keep me out.

00:48:59But I told them I'd raise a stink they'd smell all the way to the capital if he did.

00:49:03Well, what killed them, Doc?

00:49:05Not drowning.

00:49:07And Cal wasn't shot either.

00:49:08Every drop of blood was drained out of their bodies.

00:49:13And they had wounds on their throats.

00:49:16Suction wounds.

00:49:18Like a gigantic leech might make.

00:49:22And there's something even more incredible.

00:49:24Now, Cal was supposed to have been killed several days ago.

00:49:28Sam and Reed had been missing a matter of 48 hours.

00:49:31All three of them, as far as we know, were in that lake a minimum of two days.

00:49:35Now, I'd stake my reputation as a doctor.

00:49:39That Cal hadn't been dead more than two or three hours when we found him.

00:49:43And the other two less than that.

00:49:45First stage rigor mortis started in during the autopsy.

00:49:48But how could that be, Doc?

00:49:49It's impossible.

00:49:51The coroner will confirm it.

00:49:53Whatever killed them is still in that lake.

00:49:56And it's going to take more than dynamite to get it out.

00:50:00A concussion from those charges would have killed a full-grown whale.

00:50:03That explains how Cal and the others lived after they were supposed to be drowned.

00:50:10What do you mean?

00:50:12Well, this whole region is riddled by caves and caverns cut out by the ocean thousands of years ago.

00:50:17If there are caves above the water, then there must be caves under the water.

00:50:21Go on.

00:50:22Mike and I had a chance to fool around with some frogman equipment captured from the Italian Navy.

00:50:28We sort of prowled through a sunken transport off Salerno.

00:50:32When the ship went down, it trapped some air inside the hull.

00:50:36We'd go down, come up inside the officer's lounge, take off her face mask and sort of sample some of the bottles floating around.

00:50:44We'd drive the guys crazy trying to figure out how we were getting the stuff.

00:50:47You mean you think that there's an air pocket or a cave underneath the lake?

00:50:53Right, gotta be.

00:50:54How else could those people have lived down there?

00:50:56Not only that, it explains how whatever it is down there lived through the concussions.

00:50:59Steve.

00:51:03Liz Walker.

00:51:05She might still be down there.

00:51:08Alive.

00:51:25Mal!

00:51:27Mal!

00:51:29Mal!

00:51:59Mal!

00:52:00Mal!

00:52:25Mal!

00:52:27I'm willing to bet a month's pay

00:52:29they don't come up with nothing more than excuses.

00:52:32He's crazy.

00:52:33Him, the doc, and his brat, too.

00:52:36Just wait till I get on the phone to the Capitol.

00:52:39I'll guarantee somebody will wish they'd kept their nose

00:52:41out of other people's business.

00:52:43I'll guarantee that.

00:52:48Let's go, Mike.

00:52:53Steve.

00:52:54Steve.

00:52:56Be careful, please.

00:52:58Don't worry. Mike will be ready if anything goes wrong.

00:53:00Don't worry about Steve.

00:53:01Now, if you were going after Barracuda,

00:53:03you might have a tiny bit to worry about.

00:53:06Ready, Mike?

00:53:24Let's go.

00:53:24I'm going after the truck.

00:53:26Let's go.

00:53:27Let's go.

00:53:28Let's go.

00:53:29Go.

00:53:30Come on.

00:53:30He's out.

00:53:31Let's go.

00:53:32Come on.

00:53:42Come on.

00:53:44Come on.

00:53:45Come on.

00:53:46Come on.

00:53:46No, no, please, stay away.

00:53:57Please.

00:54:00Not exactly inviting, is it?

00:54:03That sure isn't.

00:54:05Hold her steady, Mike.

00:54:16It'll stop anything up to a tiger shark, but you've got to hit, and misses don't count.

00:54:33If anything goes wrong, just yank on the line, and I'll be down in a hurry.

00:54:46No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:55:16Let's go.

00:55:46You sure you don't want me to go down and finish it off for you, Steve?

00:56:11No, thanks, Mike.

00:56:12I think I hurt her pretty bad.

00:56:15Careful now.

00:56:16Anything that hurts ten times as dangerous.

00:56:23He's wounded it!

00:56:24He's going to finish it off!

00:56:27Does he have to go under again?

00:56:29He's got to make sure, honey.

00:56:32Where could it have come from?

00:56:35I wish I knew.

00:56:37We'll have to make some tests.

00:56:39Maybe the proximity of Cape Canaveral's got something to do with it.

00:56:42The rocket station?

00:56:44Well, they use atomic energy in their first stages of launching.

00:56:47Not all of them have been successful.

00:56:49You think that if some animal life was close by, not close enough to be killed, but close enough to feel the effects of a radioactive energy that's...

00:56:56A mutation.

00:56:58A type of gigantism of some common animal.

00:57:02Whatever it is, I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:05I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:06I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:07I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:08I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:09I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:10I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:11I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:12I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:13I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:14I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:15I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:16I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:17I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:18I hope he's able to bring it up.

00:57:19Oh, my God.

00:57:49That can't be Liz.

00:58:12What could have done that?

00:58:15Look at her face.

00:58:19What could have done that?

00:58:49What could have done that?

00:59:19What could have done that?

00:59:21I've been around here for years.

00:59:23I never saw nothing like that before.

00:59:27Look at that thing.

00:59:29I've been around here for years.

00:59:45I've been around here for years.

00:59:47I never saw nothing like that before.

00:59:49I never saw nothing like that before.

00:59:57I never saw nothing like that before.

00:59:59We saw things like that.

01:00:01They never saw nothing like that before.
