Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:34,678 --> 00:01:36,847
301A to car 5W, code one.
2
00:01:37,098 --> 00:01:39,016
5W to 301A, go ahead, Johnny.
3
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:40,601
We're chasing wind, Ben.
4
00:01:40,684 --> 00:01:44,939
Maybe the guy who sent in that report
drank his breakfast. Let's call it.
5
00:01:45,648 --> 00:01:47,108
Wait a minute.
6
00:02:09,171 --> 00:02:11,841
It's a kid, all right.
Maybe 50 yards off the road.
7
00:02:12,424 --> 00:02:14,760
I'll keep circling her
until you pick her up.
8
00:02:14,885 --> 00:02:16,720
- -10-10.
- 10-10.
9
00:02:42,621 --> 00:02:43,956
Hey!
10
00:02:44,915 --> 00:02:46,375
Hey, honey!
11
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,129
Hey, little girl. Little girl!
12
00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:00,598
Wait a minute.
What are you doing out here?
13
00:03:03,184 --> 00:03:04,226
Honey...
14
00:03:06,896 --> 00:03:08,439
...what's your name?
15
00:03:12,151 --> 00:03:13,861
Who do you belong to?
16
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:32,421
Car 5W, code one.
17
00:03:35,966 --> 00:03:38,302
Car 5W to 301A, go ahead.
18
00:03:41,472 --> 00:03:42,848
10-9, Johnny.
19
00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:46,727
There's a trailer three miles
from you, off the road.
20
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:50,272
I didn't see anybody around it,
you better check it out. 10-10.
21
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:52,191
Okay, Johnny. 10-10.
22
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:57,330
- What's the matter with her?
- I don't know.
23
00:03:57,404 --> 00:03:58,489
Sunstroke?
24
00:03:58,614 --> 00:04:01,742
She's not sunburned.
Couldn't have been in the sun long.
25
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:03,327
Looks like she's in shock.
26
00:04:07,373 --> 00:04:10,876
Johnny spotted a car and trailer up ahead.
Maybe she's from there.
27
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,960
Maybe so.
28
00:04:46,328 --> 00:04:50,082
No use waking her up unless
somebody can identify her. I'll check it.
29
00:05:15,024 --> 00:05:17,234
- What is it?
- Have a look.
30
00:05:50,642 --> 00:05:52,728
This blood must be 10 or 12 hours old.
31
00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:57,232
Whatever happened here was either
last night or early this morning.
32
00:05:58,942 --> 00:06:00,277
Check outside.
33
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:46,907
It was sure no traffic
accident, was it?
34
00:06:47,783 --> 00:06:50,285
This wasn't caved in. It was caved out.
35
00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:52,454
Did you find anything?
36
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:54,665
No footprints or tire marks.
37
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:56,500
Found this.
38
00:06:56,834 --> 00:07:00,129
I picked up just one. Six or seven more
are scattered over there.
39
00:07:00,212 --> 00:07:01,964
- Sugar.
- Yeah.
40
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:08,011
There's something over here
you should look at.
41
00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:11,098
I don't know if it's important,
but see what you think.
42
00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:17,646
Mountain lions never come down
to the desert.
43
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:20,691
No cat ever lived
would leave a print like that.
44
00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:22,901
Maybe something was set down there.
45
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:25,404
A bag, or a can, something like that.
46
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:27,322
It could be almost anything.
47
00:07:29,575 --> 00:07:31,285
I found these inside.
48
00:07:31,743 --> 00:07:35,664
Put in a call for fingerprint
and moulage equipment, right away.
49
00:07:35,747 --> 00:07:36,790
Right.
50
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:43,046
- Have the medics pick up the kid.
- Right.
51
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,637
Car 5W to KMA-628. Come in, please.
52
00:07:50,721 --> 00:07:53,557
KMA-628 to car 5W, go ahead.
53
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:56,059
We're 12 miles north of the crossroads.
54
00:07:56,143 --> 00:07:58,270
Halfway up the secondary road
to White Butte.
55
00:07:58,353 --> 00:08:01,273
Station wagon and house trailer
with Illinois license plates.
56
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:04,359
They look pretty well beat up.
Looks like a 9-14.
57
00:08:04,735 --> 00:08:07,237
Picked up a little girl
who seems to be in shock.
58
00:08:07,321 --> 00:08:10,407
Send ambulance and medics.
We'll stay here till you arrive.
59
00:08:10,491 --> 00:08:11,909
Anything else?
60
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:13,201
Ben?
61
00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:15,954
10-10.
62
00:08:16,038 --> 00:08:20,751
KMA-628 to 5W, location
previously reported by 301-A...
63
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:22,085
...will dispatch ambulance.
64
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,593
Hi, Reggie, how are the kids?
65
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:32,513
- Fine. Another one on the way.
- Good for you.
66
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:45,692
- Know what happened to her?
- No.
67
00:08:45,776 --> 00:08:47,569
- Don't know her name?
- No.
68
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,530
Take good care of her.
69
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:54,076
Give her a nice, easy ride. I'll be
with her all the way to the hospital.
70
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:22,479
What was that?
71
00:09:23,146 --> 00:09:24,481
I don't know.
72
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,194
It must be the wind.
It gets pretty freakish in these parts.
73
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:31,405
Yeah.
74
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:35,075
I'll come soon.
I want to be there when she starts talking.
75
00:09:46,962 --> 00:09:48,547
You know what that is, Cliff?
76
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:50,215
I haven't the faintest idea.
77
00:09:50,299 --> 00:09:54,261
Hurry before the wind fills it in.
Looks like a sandstorm is kicking up.
78
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,389
- You got any idea what happened?
- No.
79
00:09:57,848 --> 00:09:59,725
Nothing that adds up.
80
00:10:05,856 --> 00:10:07,774
How old you figure that kid is?
81
00:10:07,899 --> 00:10:09,484
Five or six.
82
00:10:10,444 --> 00:10:12,070
Tough break for her.
83
00:10:12,863 --> 00:10:14,448
They don't need us right now.
84
00:10:14,531 --> 00:10:17,618
Let's go down to Gramps Johnson's store
and see what he knows.
85
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:03,121
Gramps?
86
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:06,500
Gramps!
87
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:48,542
Beats me.
88
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:51,628
Look, Ed, put in a call...
89
00:11:53,171 --> 00:11:54,715
Wait a minute.
90
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:28,623
Gramps.
91
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:31,835
Looks like he was dragged
and thrown down there.
92
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:55,233
- What do you make of it?
- What did you make of the trailer?
93
00:12:55,484 --> 00:12:59,654
This wasn't pushed in, it was pulled out.
Just like at the trailer.
94
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,407
Ben, have a look at this.
95
00:13:03,408 --> 00:13:04,451
Sugar.
96
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:29,392
Money wasn't taken here either.
97
00:13:29,893 --> 00:13:34,481
This is another 9-14. I'll call for
the guys at the trailer to come.
98
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:37,275
I want to be at headquarters
when the girl talks.
99
00:13:37,359 --> 00:13:39,277
I'll stick around and ride with them.
100
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:41,696
- Okay. Stay loose.
- Sure.
101
00:15:02,444 --> 00:15:06,197
With all this, we only know
the car and trailer was owned by...
102
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:08,658
...a man named Alan Elinson from Chicago.
103
00:15:08,783 --> 00:15:10,285
Yeah, that's all.
104
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:14,873
Stop blaming yourself for what happened
to Ed Blackburn. It wasn't your fault.
105
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,168
Somebody had to stay at Johnson's place,
so it happened to be Ed.
106
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:19,294
Yeah, I know.
107
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:24,090
We'll find out who killed him, if he's dead,
along with Gramps and the Elinson family.
108
00:15:24,174 --> 00:15:25,342
So come off it.
109
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:30,263
We'll get a report on the fingerprints
some time this morning. It'll tell us more.
110
00:15:31,556 --> 00:15:34,267
- Have you figured out what this print is?
- No.
111
00:15:34,684 --> 00:15:35,894
Great.
112
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:40,398
Kit, run down
all Gramps' personal stuff and records.
113
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:44,611
I don't think he had an enemy in the world,
but somebody might have...
114
00:15:44,694 --> 00:15:46,780
No, wait, that doesn't make sense.
115
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:51,534
If somebody wanted to knock off Gramps
why tear down half the building to do it?
116
00:15:53,244 --> 00:15:56,081
I put in a call to check out
all the mental institutions.
117
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:58,708
Everything seems to indicate
a homicidal maniac.
118
00:15:59,334 --> 00:16:03,880
There's no money stolen,
violent wreckage. Just sugar taken.
119
00:16:04,255 --> 00:16:06,967
That's being checked,
but it's a waste of time, too.
120
00:16:07,175 --> 00:16:10,428
We'd have been notified
if there was a loony killer on the loose.
121
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:15,642
Gramps got off four shots from his 30-30
before the killer did this to the gun.
122
00:16:16,267 --> 00:16:20,146
And Blackburn was a crack shot.
He could hit anything he could see.
123
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:23,274
Unless your maniac
was armored like a battleship...
124
00:16:23,358 --> 00:16:25,068
...there's no maniac in this case.
125
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:26,403
Yeah, you're right.
126
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:29,489
I want every available man
scouting the desert.
127
00:16:29,572 --> 00:16:33,243
If our two planes aren't enough
to cover areas the cars can't reach...
128
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:36,705
...I'll ask permission from the chief
to hire a couple more.
129
00:16:37,789 --> 00:16:42,127
Ben, get yourself something to eat
and grab some sleep.
130
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:46,047
I don't want you wearing yourself out
so you'll fold up on us.
131
00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:48,573
- I've a little score to settle.
- We all have.
132
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:51,428
- Report from Washington, Captain.
- All right, thanks.
133
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:55,765
Fingerprints on the trailer
check out real good.
134
00:16:55,849 --> 00:17:00,437
Mr. Elinson was an FBI agent on vacation
with his wife and two children.
135
00:17:01,271 --> 00:17:04,691
Call the local FBI office.
They've got a stake in this case, now.
136
00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:08,319
Tell them Mr. Elinson's vacation
has been extended indefinitely.
137
00:17:09,571 --> 00:17:11,948
It's nice to get off that desert.
138
00:17:12,032 --> 00:17:14,951
- It must have been 110 out there today.
- At least.
139
00:17:17,412 --> 00:17:18,705
Captain Edwards...
140
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,833
...this is Robert Graham
from the FBI office in Alamogordo.
141
00:17:21,916 --> 00:17:24,252
- How do you do?
- Sit down.
142
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:27,213
Ben here bring you up to date
on this business?
143
00:17:27,297 --> 00:17:30,967
Yes, sir, we went over these exhibits
before we left for the desert.
144
00:17:31,051 --> 00:17:34,220
I took him to where we found the trailer
and to Johnson's store.
145
00:17:34,304 --> 00:17:35,889
We've been there all day. Nothing.
146
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:37,891
Any ideas, Mr. Graham?
147
00:17:38,016 --> 00:17:39,809
None that make any sense.
148
00:17:39,976 --> 00:17:43,688
I thought you FBI guys were all Quiz Kids,
solved everything right away.
149
00:17:44,022 --> 00:17:46,066
I did, too, when I applied for the job.
150
00:17:46,149 --> 00:17:48,318
The planes and cars
haven't found anything.
151
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:52,405
Give them time. People don't just drop off
the face of the Earth without a trace.
152
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:53,698
We'll find them.
153
00:17:55,116 --> 00:17:56,785
You know what that is?
154
00:17:57,368 --> 00:18:00,038
It beats me. Has it been identified yet?
155
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:04,918
No, an officer took it to a friend
who teaches zoology at the college.
156
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,420
He said he'd never seen anything like it.
157
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:10,673
Lots of evidence, loaded with clues,
but nothing adds up.
158
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,802
The Elinson girl is our only real bet.
Any news on her?
159
00:18:13,885 --> 00:18:16,679
No change. I checked with the hospital
a half-hour ago.
160
00:18:16,763 --> 00:18:20,433
I'd like to send this
to our Washington bureau.
161
00:18:20,517 --> 00:18:22,519
They might be able to identify it.
162
00:18:22,644 --> 00:18:24,229
Or prove that it's nothing.
163
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:25,480
All right with me.
164
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:27,857
Come in.
165
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:30,860
- Hello, Fred. Glad to see you, Ben.
- Hi, Doc, how are you?
166
00:18:30,944 --> 00:18:32,403
You two know each other?
167
00:18:32,862 --> 00:18:34,155
I don't believe so.
168
00:18:34,239 --> 00:18:37,492
Dr. Putnam, County Medical Officer.
Robert Graham.
169
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:40,620
- He's with the FBI. Watch your language.
- I will.
170
00:18:41,704 --> 00:18:45,250
I finished the autopsy on Gramps.
You want it technical or plain?
171
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:47,335
Just plain, Doc. Get to the verb.
172
00:18:47,877 --> 00:18:51,005
Old man Johnson could have died
in any one of five ways:
173
00:18:51,714 --> 00:18:56,302
His neck and back were broken,
his chest crushed, his skull fractured...
174
00:18:56,719 --> 00:18:58,721
...and here's one for Sherlock Holmes:
175
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,099
There was enough formic acid in him
to kill 20 men.
176
00:19:15,446 --> 00:19:17,740
I still don't get this.
177
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:21,870
Doctors Medford, two of them.
Department of Agriculture.
178
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:25,665
You sent that cast
to your outfit in Washington, didn't you?
179
00:19:25,748 --> 00:19:26,624
Yeah.
180
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:29,210
Does this mean
that somebody has identified it?
181
00:19:29,294 --> 00:19:30,503
I don't know.
182
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:32,714
- Great.
- Pardon me, sir.
183
00:19:32,881 --> 00:19:35,466
The plane has landed.
It'll load over there.
184
00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:36,676
Thanks.
185
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:44,267
- Got a match?
- Yeah.
186
00:20:17,383 --> 00:20:18,593
Okay, thank you.
187
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:22,889
Dr. Medford?
188
00:20:22,972 --> 00:20:24,641
Are you Dr. Medford?
189
00:20:24,724 --> 00:20:26,601
Yes, yes. No need to shout.
190
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:30,271
You're the people.
They said you'd meet us.
191
00:20:30,396 --> 00:20:31,439
That's right.
192
00:20:32,023 --> 00:20:33,274
I'm Bob Graham.
193
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:35,944
- How do you do?
- This is Sgt. Ben Peterson.
194
00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:39,822
- You're the one who found the print?
- Yeah, that's right.
195
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:42,909
Pat, hurry up.
196
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:44,577
I'm caught.
197
00:20:46,329 --> 00:20:48,873
- Can I help?
- No, I can manage it.
198
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:01,135
This is the other Dr. Medford,
my daughter, Patricia.
199
00:21:01,219 --> 00:21:03,805
This is the man who found the print.
Sergeant...
200
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:05,848
- Ben Peterson.
- How do you do?
201
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,892
Then you must be Mr. Robert Graham.
202
00:21:07,976 --> 00:21:09,686
- Yes, how do you do?
- Hello.
203
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,938
We've got a car to take you to the hotel.
204
00:21:12,021 --> 00:21:13,815
That can wait. We have work to do.
205
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:16,734
I want to read all your reports right away.
Come on, Pat.
206
00:21:16,818 --> 00:21:18,027
Excuse me, sir.
207
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:21,739
I should have had this suit pressed.
208
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:23,616
She's quite a doctor.
209
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:27,370
If she takes care of sick people,
I think I'll get a fever real quick.
210
00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:31,249
This is where
the car and trailer were found.
211
00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:34,043
Twelve miles down this road
is the Johnson store.
212
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:35,461
Thank you.
213
00:21:38,673 --> 00:21:42,593
Why did the FBI send that print
to the Department of Agriculture?
214
00:21:43,303 --> 00:21:45,138
They weren't able to identify it.
215
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:49,684
- You only found one print?
- That's right, miss.
216
00:21:49,767 --> 00:21:51,185
Have you identified it?
217
00:21:51,269 --> 00:21:55,106
The Medical Officer's report on Johnson
suggests we were certainly wrong...
218
00:21:55,189 --> 00:21:58,693
...to even consider this might be a hoax.
Read that, Doctor.
219
00:22:00,236 --> 00:22:01,237
Tell me...
220
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:06,492
...in what area was the atomic bomb
exploded, the first one, back in 1945?
221
00:22:06,576 --> 00:22:09,829
Right here in this same general area.
White Sands.
222
00:22:14,208 --> 00:22:17,253
1945. That's nine years ago.
223
00:22:18,588 --> 00:22:21,007
Genetically, it's certainly possible.
224
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:26,387
We're grown up. There's no need
to play footsie with us. We resent it.
225
00:22:26,471 --> 00:22:29,640
If you know what this thing is, Doctor,
I suggest you tell us.
226
00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:31,434
We're assigned to this case, too.
227
00:22:31,517 --> 00:22:35,563
Mr. Graham, we cannot tell you
until we're certain of our theory.
228
00:22:36,064 --> 00:22:40,318
I'd like to first stop off at the drug
store and then see the Elinson girl.
229
00:22:40,401 --> 00:22:42,987
She's still in shock, Doctor.
She hasn't talked yet.
230
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:47,241
After the girl, I want to examine
the territory where you found the print.
231
00:22:54,999 --> 00:22:56,250
You were saying?
232
00:22:56,417 --> 00:22:59,379
As I explained to Mrs. Johnson,
the little girl's aunt...
233
00:22:59,629 --> 00:23:04,801
...we hesitate in using a curare
to diminish the spasms. She's too young.
234
00:23:04,884 --> 00:23:09,555
Narcosynthesis would be useless
until we overcome the aphonia.
235
00:23:09,764 --> 00:23:12,767
- What's aphonia?
- Loss of voice.
236
00:23:13,476 --> 00:23:16,312
She's a classic case
of hysteria conversion.
237
00:23:16,396 --> 00:23:19,107
Only a severe catharsis
could jolt her at all.
238
00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:21,234
May I have a small glass?
239
00:23:21,609 --> 00:23:25,029
- Yes, certainly.
- Pat, that acid we got...
240
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:26,321
Acid?
241
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:29,117
Formic, Doctor.
Thank you.
242
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:33,704
It may provide the jolt you need.
243
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:55,601
Them!
244
00:23:56,102 --> 00:23:57,145
Them!
245
00:23:57,645 --> 00:23:58,688
Them!
246
00:24:07,822 --> 00:24:09,699
May we visit the desert now?
247
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:11,492
It's getting late.
248
00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:13,703
It's later than you think.
249
00:24:38,686 --> 00:24:39,729
Thank you.
250
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:44,192
Quite a breeze.
251
00:24:45,568 --> 00:24:47,862
- The goggles, Doctor.
- What about them?
252
00:24:47,945 --> 00:24:50,281
You're supposed to wear them
over your eyes.
253
00:24:50,364 --> 00:24:52,033
Oh, thank you.
254
00:24:53,493 --> 00:24:55,536
Yes, that is better.
255
00:24:57,413 --> 00:25:01,292
- So this is where the car and trailer were?
- Yes, sir. Excuse me.
256
00:25:01,375 --> 00:25:04,420
- Yes, thank you.
- The print was found right over there.
257
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,925
We found it here, by the fire.
258
00:25:09,926 --> 00:25:11,886
You see, there's nothing there now.
259
00:25:15,556 --> 00:25:17,892
Has there been any report
of a strange mound?
260
00:25:18,059 --> 00:25:21,145
A cone-shaped structure?
Something recently formed?
261
00:25:21,938 --> 00:25:22,980
No, sir.
262
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,485
Sergeant, would you mind
if we looked around a little more?
263
00:25:27,777 --> 00:25:29,487
Anything you say, Doctor.
264
00:25:30,696 --> 00:25:32,698
Rather slim pickings for food, Dad.
265
00:25:32,782 --> 00:25:35,535
They'd turn carnivorous
for lack of a habitual diet.
266
00:25:35,826 --> 00:25:37,286
I believe you're right.
267
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:40,289
What would turn carnivorous?
268
00:25:40,581 --> 00:25:42,625
- My father will tell you.
- When?
269
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,961
- When he's positive.
- Now, look, miss...
270
00:25:45,419 --> 00:25:46,671
Doctor...
271
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:50,091
If the "Doctor" bothers you,
why don't you call me "Pat."
272
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:51,384
I'd like to.
273
00:25:51,592 --> 00:25:54,345
I've got a job to do,
and enough mystery on my hands...
274
00:25:54,428 --> 00:25:56,180
...without that old...
275
00:25:57,265 --> 00:25:59,475
I mean, your father complicating things.
276
00:25:59,976 --> 00:26:03,813
He is one of the world's greatest
myrmecologists.
277
00:26:03,938 --> 00:26:07,650
Myrmecologists!
You see, that's what I mean!
278
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:11,445
Why don't we all talk English?
Then we'd have some understanding.
279
00:26:11,571 --> 00:26:12,613
Pat!
280
00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:15,449
Come here.
281
00:26:16,409 --> 00:26:19,328
It's the same kind of print.
Look at it, Doctor.
282
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:21,914
It's gigantic.
283
00:26:25,126 --> 00:26:27,003
Over 12 centimeters.
284
00:26:27,795 --> 00:26:29,422
That would make the entire...
285
00:26:29,505 --> 00:26:32,425
About two and a half meters in length.
Over 8 feet.
286
00:26:32,842 --> 00:26:34,385
See if there are more.
287
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:40,349
- This is monstrous.
- So is the murder of five people, Doctor.
288
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:45,646
The direction of that print
would indicate it came from that way.
289
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:52,028
Perhaps we should visit the store.
There may be more there now.
290
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:57,366
Look here, before we do any more visiting,
I want to know exactly what this "it" is.
291
00:26:57,450 --> 00:26:59,869
Gentlemen, I understand your impatience.
292
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:03,664
I know you are concerned with solving
what is essentially a local crime...
293
00:27:03,748 --> 00:27:06,876
...but please believe me,
I am not being coy with you.
294
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:11,422
If I'm wrong, no harm has been done.
But if I'm correct...
295
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:14,425
...and the mounting evidence
only fortifies my theory...
296
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:18,137
...then something incredible has happened
in this desert.
297
00:27:18,220 --> 00:27:22,725
In which case, none of us will dare risk
revealing it, because...
298
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:25,227
...none of us can risk a nationwide panic.
299
00:27:25,436 --> 00:27:26,646
A Panic?
300
00:28:44,223 --> 00:28:46,892
Get the antennae! Get the antennae!
301
00:28:56,402 --> 00:28:58,487
Get the other antenna!
302
00:28:58,612 --> 00:29:01,741
Get the other antenna!
He's helpless without them!
303
00:29:42,239 --> 00:29:43,699
What is it?
304
00:29:43,783 --> 00:29:46,911
Spades appears to be
Camponotus vicious.
305
00:29:48,037 --> 00:29:50,790
Of the family of Formicidae. An ant.
306
00:29:50,873 --> 00:29:54,502
An ant? I don't believe it.
It's not possible!
307
00:29:54,877 --> 00:29:58,088
Then this is what got Ed Blackburn,
Gramps Johnson, and the rest?
308
00:29:58,172 --> 00:30:00,758
Yes. A fantastic mutation.
309
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:05,638
Probably caused by lingering radiation
from the first atomic bomb.
310
00:30:05,930 --> 00:30:07,014
Notice its odor?
311
00:30:08,224 --> 00:30:12,353
Formic acid?
That's why the girl reacted so violently.
312
00:30:12,436 --> 00:30:15,189
The Coroner said
that Gramps was filled with it.
313
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:17,441
See that? It's the stinger.
314
00:30:17,858 --> 00:30:21,487
Ants use their mandibles to rend,
tear and hold their victims...
315
00:30:21,904 --> 00:30:25,741
...but they kill with that,
by injecting formic acid.
316
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:28,202
Mr. Johnson was stung to death.
317
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:31,330
There's no time to lose.
We must find the colony, the nest.
318
00:30:31,455 --> 00:30:32,706
There's more of them?
319
00:30:32,790 --> 00:30:35,376
This was probably just a scout,
foraging for food.
320
00:30:35,459 --> 00:30:37,628
You heard the sound. The stridulation.
321
00:30:37,711 --> 00:30:39,880
It communicated with others
in the colony.
322
00:30:39,964 --> 00:30:42,049
You mean these things send messages?
323
00:30:42,132 --> 00:30:46,637
Of course. All insects have means
of communication with their own kind!
324
00:31:00,568 --> 00:31:03,863
We may be witnesses
to a Biblical prophesy come true.
325
00:31:06,448 --> 00:31:10,286
"And there shall be destruction
and darkness come upon creation."
326
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:12,746
"And the Beasts shall reign
over the earth."
327
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:37,771
Doctor, this nest we're looking for.
How many giant ants will be in it?
328
00:31:38,272 --> 00:31:39,940
General, I really don't know.
329
00:31:40,316 --> 00:31:43,861
If they follow the usual pattern
of their species, the nest...
330
00:31:44,111 --> 00:31:48,991
...depending upon its age,
may contain hundreds or thousands.
331
00:31:49,658 --> 00:31:51,911
- Thousands, Doctor?
- It's possible.
332
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:55,915
Look, if we run into thousands
of the thing you killed yesterday...
333
00:31:56,165 --> 00:32:00,169
...it'll take a bomber squadron
plus an infantry regiment to mop up.
334
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:01,962
How could we keep that a secret?
335
00:32:02,046 --> 00:32:04,340
You're jumping to conclusions, General.
336
00:32:04,465 --> 00:32:07,760
There may not be nearly so many
of these creatures as you suppose.
337
00:32:07,843 --> 00:32:11,096
I'm not supposing anything
after looking at that carcass.
338
00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:14,308
What I can't understand is
why no one has seen them until now.
339
00:32:14,391 --> 00:32:18,187
For one reason, I don't believe
these creatures developed until recently.
340
00:32:18,354 --> 00:32:20,689
For another, their being here...
341
00:32:20,814 --> 00:32:24,151
...in these hundreds of thousands
of square miles of desert is...
342
00:32:29,365 --> 00:32:30,783
No, that isn't it.
343
00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:35,204
- Could I speak to my daughter, please?
- Of course.
344
00:32:36,497 --> 00:32:37,539
Thank you.
345
00:32:42,211 --> 00:32:43,253
Hello, Pat?
346
00:32:44,046 --> 00:32:47,216
- Pat? You there?
- That's not the way to call.
347
00:32:47,508 --> 00:32:49,843
We're Search Able, call Search Baker.
348
00:32:50,052 --> 00:32:51,804
- Right, General?
- Right.
349
00:32:53,222 --> 00:32:56,517
Search Able to Search Baker.
350
00:32:56,934 --> 00:32:57,977
Say, "Over."
351
00:32:58,268 --> 00:32:59,520
Then say, "Over."
352
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:00,771
Over!
353
00:33:00,854 --> 00:33:03,857
Medford and Baker to Medford and Able.
Go ahead, Dad. Over.
354
00:33:03,941 --> 00:33:05,818
Have you found anything yet?
355
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:07,026
Say, "Over."
356
00:33:07,069 --> 00:33:08,988
- I just said it.
- I know. Say it again.
357
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:10,072
Over!
358
00:33:10,364 --> 00:33:12,199
Baker to Able: Not yet.
359
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:15,494
We're about three quarters
of the way across our sector.
360
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:17,871
We're now at coordinates: Charlie-6.
Over.
361
00:33:17,955 --> 00:33:19,540
Don't pass up a thing.
362
00:33:19,623 --> 00:33:22,042
Let me know when you find anything.
363
00:33:22,126 --> 00:33:23,794
If you're finished say, "Over and out."
364
00:33:23,877 --> 00:33:26,171
- She knows I'm through talking.
- I know she does.
365
00:33:26,255 --> 00:33:28,424
It's a rule. You've got to say it.
Right, General?
366
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:30,551
- Right.
- Ridiculous.
367
00:33:30,843 --> 00:33:33,762
- Lot of good your rules will do...
- Over and out.
368
00:33:33,929 --> 00:33:35,681
Now you're happy-
369
00:33:39,852 --> 00:33:41,937
Real calm fellow, isn't he?
370
00:33:46,525 --> 00:33:47,985
Worried about him?
371
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:52,990
A little. He's not a young man.
He shouldn't have made this trip, but...
372
00:33:53,073 --> 00:33:56,660
...he's a scientist and this is
a scientist's dream come true.
373
00:33:59,955 --> 00:34:01,040
Hold it!
374
00:34:22,311 --> 00:34:24,813
Fly back over it
and get as close as you can.
375
00:34:52,299 --> 00:34:54,635
You've just found your missing persons.
376
00:34:58,180 --> 00:34:59,723
Look, Dr. Medford...
377
00:35:00,015 --> 00:35:03,685
...you're being inconsistent.
First, you insist it's top secret.
378
00:35:04,394 --> 00:35:08,482
Nobody else must know or do anything
about getting rid of these big ants.
379
00:35:08,565 --> 00:35:11,276
Correct.
Absolute secrecy is imperative.
380
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,863
But then you turn around and say
that time is the most important thing.
381
00:35:14,947 --> 00:35:18,450
I've been told to take orders from you
and give you what you ask for.
382
00:35:18,534 --> 00:35:22,538
But if time is that important, why not let
me go in tonight with some bombers...
383
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:23,997
...and wipe out that nest?
384
00:35:25,082 --> 00:35:28,544
If you'll just calm down, General,
I'll explain.
385
00:35:28,961 --> 00:35:31,171
Doctor, please put up that chart.
386
00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:35,050
Time is important,
more so than you realize.
387
00:35:35,134 --> 00:35:38,971
But bombing that nest tonight
would only aggravate our problem.
388
00:35:39,346 --> 00:35:42,141
The reason none of them have been seen
during the day...
389
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:44,351
...even by the police spotting planes...
390
00:35:44,434 --> 00:35:47,020
...is because they hate
the heat of the desert.
391
00:35:47,104 --> 00:35:50,482
They forage between sunset and dawn,
when it's cool.
392
00:35:50,566 --> 00:35:53,569
So half the colony wouldn't even be
inside the nest tonight.
393
00:35:54,153 --> 00:35:59,032
Our best chance will be during
the hottest part of the day tomorrow.
394
00:36:02,202 --> 00:36:04,621
This illustrates
a typical ant nest.
395
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:07,541
Observe the details.
396
00:36:07,958 --> 00:36:09,376
Here is the entrance.
397
00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:13,797
These are tunnels, corridors,
and food chambers.
398
00:36:13,964 --> 00:36:16,508
Note the wonderful
and intricate engineering.
399
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:20,095
Water traps,
so that none will drown during rains.
400
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,307
This is somewhat oversimplified, I admit...
401
00:36:23,390 --> 00:36:26,518
...but it will give you an idea
of what we are up against.
402
00:36:27,311 --> 00:36:30,856
Do you know that some species
of desert ants dig down...
403
00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:33,233
...as deep as 30 feet or more?
404
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,195
That nest we found today
might go down hundreds of feet.
405
00:36:36,278 --> 00:36:38,906
We can pinpoint that opening.
Seal it up for good.
406
00:36:38,989 --> 00:36:41,533
The creatures would only tunnel out
somewhere else.
407
00:36:41,909 --> 00:36:45,037
We don't want that nest damaged.
Not yet.
408
00:36:45,162 --> 00:36:46,330
What do we do?
409
00:36:46,413 --> 00:36:49,333
First, we wait until noon tomorrow.
410
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:52,586
By that time,
all of them should be within the nest.
411
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:55,881
To keep them confined in there
is our next problem.
412
00:36:56,590 --> 00:36:58,175
We have two possibilities:
413
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:00,677
First would be to flood the nest.
414
00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:05,265
Ants will not come through deep water.
They breathe through their sides.
415
00:37:05,349 --> 00:37:09,561
Excuse me, Doctor, there's no water line
within 20 miles of that place.
416
00:37:09,645 --> 00:37:12,773
That's why you asked about
our meteorological station.
417
00:37:12,856 --> 00:37:15,067
Any chance of getting cloud formations?
418
00:37:15,150 --> 00:37:17,486
Nothing that would make
cloud seeding pay off.
419
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:20,739
Nobody's had any luck
in making rain in this part of the desert.
420
00:37:20,822 --> 00:37:22,241
The second possibility?
421
00:37:22,324 --> 00:37:26,119
Enough heat to drive the ants deeper
down into the nest, and hold them down.
422
00:37:26,203 --> 00:37:27,913
But no bombing?
423
00:37:28,121 --> 00:37:31,625
What about phosphorus? We can lay it
over that mound with bazookas.
424
00:37:32,709 --> 00:37:34,878
That would keep the surface area hot.
425
00:37:35,587 --> 00:37:37,381
What happens after that?
426
00:37:37,464 --> 00:37:40,759
We then drop cyanide gas
into the opening and kill them.
427
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:43,553
How can you be sure
you'll get all of them?
428
00:37:43,637 --> 00:37:45,347
We go down into the nest and find out.
429
00:38:11,373 --> 00:38:14,167
Don't forget to tap me
when you get that wired, General.
430
00:38:14,251 --> 00:38:17,045
Don't rush me. I'm doing this by the book.
431
00:38:20,382 --> 00:38:23,302
It's the first time
I ever loaded one of these babies.
432
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:27,597
That makes us even. This is the first time
I've ever given orders to a general.
433
00:39:15,228 --> 00:39:17,981
We should've waited for it to cool more.
434
00:39:18,065 --> 00:39:20,776
We don't dare lose time
getting cyanide into that nest.
435
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:07,989
Marvelously made.
436
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:11,368
Marvelous. Tell me,
you only saw the one live ant?
437
00:40:11,618 --> 00:40:14,329
He seemed to be trying to get out,
rather than get us.
438
00:40:14,496 --> 00:40:17,958
He stopped moving when the gas hit him.
Then he dropped out of sight.
439
00:40:18,041 --> 00:40:20,168
Didn't see or hear a thing from then on.
440
00:40:20,252 --> 00:40:22,003
You think they're all dead?
441
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:23,964
I think so. You used enough gas.
442
00:40:24,047 --> 00:40:27,342
All parts of the nest should have been
thoroughly saturated by now.
443
00:40:27,426 --> 00:40:30,262
If I can still raise an arm
when we get out of here...
444
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:32,597
...I'll show you
how well saturated I can get.
445
00:40:32,681 --> 00:40:33,890
I'm with you.
446
00:40:33,974 --> 00:40:35,726
If I were younger, I...
447
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,813
What are you made up for?
448
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:41,815
I'm going with you and Ben.
449
00:40:43,483 --> 00:40:44,526
No, you're not.
450
00:40:44,609 --> 00:40:47,070
Someone with scientific knowledge
has to go.
451
00:40:47,446 --> 00:40:50,407
My father is physically unable to do it.
That leaves me.
452
00:40:50,490 --> 00:40:54,077
That leaves you here. We don't know
what we'll find down there.
453
00:40:54,327 --> 00:40:57,456
One thing for sure,
it's no place for you or any other woman.
454
00:40:57,539 --> 00:41:01,543
She wanted to go, Robert.
As a scientist, I couldn't forbid her.
455
00:41:01,626 --> 00:41:04,087
- A trained observer has to go.
- What for?
456
00:41:04,171 --> 00:41:06,923
There are more important things
than finding dead ants.
457
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:09,759
- You wouldn't know what to look for!
- You tell us what.
458
00:41:09,843 --> 00:41:12,554
There's no time to give you a course
in insect pathology!
459
00:41:12,637 --> 00:41:15,015
So let's stop talking and get on with it.
460
00:41:20,395 --> 00:41:21,438
Okay.
461
00:41:22,856 --> 00:41:24,357
Don't worry, Dad.
462
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:34,534
Good luck, Sergeant.
463
00:41:34,784 --> 00:41:36,328
You come last, Pat.
464
00:41:36,870 --> 00:41:39,414
Throw us the rest of the stuff down
when I signal.
465
00:42:32,509 --> 00:42:33,552
Hold it.
466
00:42:34,135 --> 00:42:37,430
They're dead or they would have
attacked us right away.
467
00:42:51,861 --> 00:42:54,447
Look. Held together with saliva.
468
00:42:55,657 --> 00:42:58,702
Spit is all that's holding me together
right now, too.
469
00:44:14,027 --> 00:44:16,112
How come the gas
didn't kill them?
470
00:44:16,196 --> 00:44:18,740
The chamber looked caved in
from the bombing.
471
00:44:19,324 --> 00:44:21,868
Sealed up that way,
the gas couldn't reach them.
472
00:44:21,951 --> 00:44:26,122
If we run into any more
live ones, we're getting out of here.
473
00:44:54,943 --> 00:44:56,236
This is it!
474
00:44:56,820 --> 00:44:59,239
The queen's chamber, and the eggs.
475
00:45:30,729 --> 00:45:33,606
- This is what I was afraid of.
- What's wrong?
476
00:45:34,065 --> 00:45:35,191
They're empty.
477
00:45:35,275 --> 00:45:39,821
- What came out is dead, right?
- Not the ones hatched from these!
478
00:45:43,533 --> 00:45:45,660
Now destroy everything in here.
Burn it!
479
00:45:45,744 --> 00:45:48,329
- What?
- I said burn it. Burn everything!
480
00:46:15,857 --> 00:46:17,442
Very strange.
481
00:46:18,318 --> 00:46:19,903
Most unusual.
482
00:46:20,195 --> 00:46:22,655
No larvae or pupae
in the egg chamber.
483
00:46:22,739 --> 00:46:25,200
They seemed to hatch
directly from the eggs.
484
00:46:25,283 --> 00:46:27,494
I attribute it to
the mutation process.
485
00:46:27,577 --> 00:46:29,537
That's the logical conclusion.
486
00:46:29,621 --> 00:46:33,750
You feel sure those two have gone?
You found no winged ants?
487
00:46:34,250 --> 00:46:35,668
We saw only worker ants.
488
00:46:35,752 --> 00:46:38,379
I don't get it.
You act like it was the end of the world.
489
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:39,714
It could be.
490
00:46:40,924 --> 00:46:44,260
These two empty egg cases
contained queen ants.
491
00:46:44,761 --> 00:46:49,224
Newborn queen ants have wings,
so have their consorts, male ants.
492
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,894
- You found no ants with wings?
- Not a one.
493
00:46:53,311 --> 00:46:56,689
The fact is we didn't destroy
this first nest soon enough!
494
00:46:57,690 --> 00:47:02,278
Two young queen ants hatched out,
dried their wings and flew away...
495
00:47:02,612 --> 00:47:06,574
...each with one or more winged males.
They've gone on their wedding flight.
496
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,204
We needn't worry about the males.
They'll die very quickly, but the queens...
497
00:47:11,287 --> 00:47:14,415
Doctor, are you telling us
there'll be other nests?
498
00:47:14,499 --> 00:47:17,669
A single queen can lay thousands of eggs.
499
00:47:18,253 --> 00:47:22,423
From these will hatch dozens
of other queens, who may in turn...
500
00:47:24,342 --> 00:47:25,760
How far can they fly?
501
00:47:26,845 --> 00:47:29,305
These giants? I don't know.
502
00:47:30,557 --> 00:47:34,727
Ordinary queens of the smaller species
have very limited flying powers.
503
00:47:35,478 --> 00:47:39,566
They're dependent mostly on winds
and thermal currents to carry them along.
504
00:47:39,691 --> 00:47:43,778
They have been found in the stratosphere.
But these giants...
505
00:47:44,904 --> 00:47:46,614
I don't know, you guess.
506
00:47:46,698 --> 00:47:48,616
I thought today was the end of them.
507
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:49,742
No.
508
00:47:50,159 --> 00:47:52,036
We haven't seen the end of them.
509
00:47:52,328 --> 00:47:56,207
We've only had a view of the beginning
of what may be the end of us.
510
00:47:58,209 --> 00:48:00,545
We'd better inform Washington, General.
511
00:48:18,021 --> 00:48:19,314
Sergeant Peterson.
512
00:48:19,564 --> 00:48:21,482
- Sir?
- What about your superiors?
513
00:48:21,566 --> 00:48:25,194
Do they know these creatures
are causing the crimes in your desert?
514
00:48:25,278 --> 00:48:26,487
No, sir, they don't.
515
00:48:26,571 --> 00:48:29,699
Gen. O'Brien and Dr. Medford
felt that absolute secrecy...
516
00:48:29,782 --> 00:48:32,493
...about the existence of the big ants
was essential.
517
00:48:32,577 --> 00:48:35,622
Do you also think this extraordinary
hush-hush is necessary?
518
00:48:35,705 --> 00:48:39,876
Yes. I don't think there's a police force
anywhere that could handle the panic...
519
00:48:39,959 --> 00:48:42,337
...if people found out
these babies were loose.
520
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,672
Gentlemen, I believe we are ready.
521
00:48:45,465 --> 00:48:50,428
Some of you have displayed incredulous
attitudes towards our reports and photos.
522
00:48:50,678 --> 00:48:54,307
The rest of you are trying to understand
the gravity of our situation...
523
00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:58,436
...but repeatedly ask
how really serious it is.
524
00:48:59,562 --> 00:49:03,316
For your edification,
I have prepared a short film...
525
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:08,196
...which I hope will give you some idea
of the nature of the creatures we face.
526
00:49:08,321 --> 00:49:10,239
In a small way, of course.
527
00:49:10,949 --> 00:49:12,909
Robert, please turn out the lights.
528
00:49:19,916 --> 00:49:24,337
These ants and related
species are common to most of America.
529
00:49:24,504 --> 00:49:29,717
In fact, you can find them in backyards,
empty lots, and fields...
530
00:49:29,801 --> 00:49:32,178
...throughout the temperate zones
of the world.
531
00:49:32,261 --> 00:49:35,348
They haven't changed in form or habits...
532
00:49:35,682 --> 00:49:37,850
...for more than 50 million years.
533
00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:41,104
Here, for instance, is one such specimen...
534
00:49:41,187 --> 00:49:45,066
...that got himself trapped in amber,
which we know is at least that old.
535
00:49:45,817 --> 00:49:48,569
Now we come
to some different kind of ants.
536
00:49:49,195 --> 00:49:53,491
The big fellow there, feeding on
the smaller, red grease-eaters...
537
00:49:54,117 --> 00:49:58,413
...is of a savage species called
Camponotus vicious Mayr.
538
00:49:58,621 --> 00:50:00,456
He's of a desert variety.
539
00:50:00,915 --> 00:50:05,044
Very similar to the giant mutations
we found in New Mexico.
540
00:50:06,004 --> 00:50:08,589
There is a side view of a small nest.
541
00:50:09,048 --> 00:50:11,134
Those white objects are ant eggs.
542
00:50:12,385 --> 00:50:15,054
Ants don't see well at all.
543
00:50:15,722 --> 00:50:20,727
They hear, smell and locate objects
with their radar-like antennae.
544
00:50:21,227 --> 00:50:24,897
Only after food or an enemy is located
with the antennae...
545
00:50:25,356 --> 00:50:27,817
...are the savage mandibles put to work.
546
00:50:29,944 --> 00:50:33,072
Now, gentlemen,
watch this demonstration of power.
547
00:50:33,322 --> 00:50:36,075
A pebble has blocked
the entrance to the nest.
548
00:50:36,576 --> 00:50:39,287
That creature is determined
to remove the obstacle.
549
00:50:39,996 --> 00:50:45,001
Note how the mandibles are used
to grasp the pebble and pull it aside...
550
00:50:45,084 --> 00:50:47,503
...with only a slight assist
from another ant.
551
00:50:48,337 --> 00:50:51,632
There's the same pebble
on a laboratory scale.
552
00:50:52,175 --> 00:50:55,595
Balancing it, is a dish containing 20 ants.
553
00:50:56,220 --> 00:51:00,433
We've learned that one of these
quarter-inch long insects can lift...
554
00:51:00,558 --> 00:51:02,810
...20 times its own weight.
555
00:51:03,144 --> 00:51:06,272
That's equal to one of you
lifting a ton and a half or more!
556
00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:10,735
Here are rare shots of a newborn queen
and her consorts.
557
00:51:12,737 --> 00:51:17,700
Technically, she should be referred to as a
princess, until after the mating flight.
558
00:51:17,992 --> 00:51:21,120
Now there is a close shot
of a winged male.
559
00:51:21,788 --> 00:51:25,833
Males are unequipped for survival
beyond the mating and die soon after.
560
00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:31,005
The queen flies on, or more precisely,
is borne by the winds...
561
00:51:31,214 --> 00:51:35,009
...until her need prompts her
to seek a place to lay eggs.
562
00:51:35,885 --> 00:51:39,305
Does a queen ever fly away
from her nest once she's established it?
563
00:51:39,472 --> 00:51:42,975
No, never. She loses her wings
after the wedding flight.
564
00:51:43,559 --> 00:51:45,269
See? One has dropped off.
565
00:51:47,939 --> 00:51:51,275
Now she starts her function
of establishing a place...
566
00:51:51,734 --> 00:51:54,654
...in which to lay her eggs
and begin the nest.
567
00:51:54,946 --> 00:51:58,658
Queens live quite a long time.
They continue to lay eggs...
568
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:00,576
...from the one mating...
569
00:52:00,660 --> 00:52:03,496
...for from 15 to 17 years.
570
00:52:04,330 --> 00:52:06,124
Here are ants at war.
571
00:52:07,333 --> 00:52:12,713
As you can see, ants are savage,
ruthless and courageous fighters.
572
00:52:13,589 --> 00:52:18,636
This fight lasted 72 hours
between those two alone.
573
00:52:21,180 --> 00:52:24,308
Ants are the only creatures on Earth
other than man...
574
00:52:24,517 --> 00:52:25,768
...who make war.
575
00:52:26,269 --> 00:52:29,063
They campaign.
They are chronic aggressors.
576
00:52:29,230 --> 00:52:32,275
They make slave laborers
of the captives they don't kill.
577
00:52:33,359 --> 00:52:38,114
None of the ants previously seen by man
were more than an inch in length.
578
00:52:38,614 --> 00:52:40,700
Most were considerably under that size.
579
00:52:40,783 --> 00:52:46,164
But even the most minute of them
have an instinct and talent for industry...
580
00:52:46,372 --> 00:52:49,750
...social organization and savagery...
581
00:52:50,877 --> 00:52:54,714
...that makes man look feeble
by comparison.
582
00:52:55,131 --> 00:52:57,091
How large were the ants you found?
583
00:52:57,258 --> 00:53:00,595
The smallest measured
nine feet in body length.
584
00:53:01,012 --> 00:53:03,181
That, gentlemen, is why you are here.
585
00:53:03,806 --> 00:53:05,308
To consider this problem.
586
00:53:05,391 --> 00:53:08,519
And I hope, solve it.
Because unless you solve it...
587
00:53:08,811 --> 00:53:11,439
...unless these queens are located
and destroyed...
588
00:53:11,647 --> 00:53:14,901
...before they've established
thriving colonies and can produce...
589
00:53:14,984 --> 00:53:17,653
...heaven alone knows
how many more queen ants...
590
00:53:17,820 --> 00:53:21,991
...man, as the dominant species
of life on Earth...
591
00:53:22,241 --> 00:53:23,951
...will probably be extinct...
592
00:53:24,994 --> 00:53:28,497
...within a year, Doc?
593
00:53:39,508 --> 00:53:41,719
How about some information,
Senator?
594
00:53:41,802 --> 00:53:43,095
Sorry, no comment.
595
00:53:43,179 --> 00:53:45,306
There must be something you can tell us.
596
00:53:45,473 --> 00:53:50,561
All the newswire services, AP, UP, INS,
are in there, but nothing's coming out.
597
00:53:50,895 --> 00:53:53,272
No newsmen are being allowed in there.
598
00:53:53,356 --> 00:53:56,108
What was that mysterious
3:00 a.m. meeting about?
599
00:53:56,192 --> 00:53:58,277
Can't tell you a thing, boys, sorry.
600
00:54:01,989 --> 00:54:05,910
There are about a million radio receivers
installed in there, too.
601
00:54:06,077 --> 00:54:07,828
- Why?
- I don't know.
602
00:54:35,356 --> 00:54:39,360
Texans. When bigger stories are told,
Texans will tell them.
603
00:54:39,443 --> 00:54:42,738
Should fit in with the kind of stuff
they're looking for upstairs.
604
00:54:42,822 --> 00:54:45,116
- Know what's going on in this building?
- No.
605
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:47,952
Real "T.S." stuff. Top Secret.
606
00:54:56,127 --> 00:54:58,754
Okay, we'll meet you at the airport
in 20 minutes.
607
00:55:00,131 --> 00:55:03,259
Says he can have us in Brownsville
in less than three hours.
608
00:55:04,969 --> 00:55:06,679
Good luck, Bob.
609
00:55:18,232 --> 00:55:21,694
They ain't kidding me. Nobody is.
Not you, not anybody.
610
00:55:21,777 --> 00:55:24,613
This isn't a hospital.
This is a loony bin. A nuthouse.
611
00:55:25,448 --> 00:55:28,617
Do you think I'm crazy?
I don't care what you think. I'm not!
612
00:55:28,701 --> 00:55:31,370
I saw those things with my own two eyes!
613
00:55:31,454 --> 00:55:35,499
Do you think anybody could make it up?
A guy would have to be nuts...
614
00:55:39,545 --> 00:55:42,757
You're a flyer. You didn't get that yard
sitting on the ground.
615
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,717
You've seen guys blow their stacks.
616
00:55:45,009 --> 00:55:48,554
Do you think I act and talk
like a guy who has lost his marbles?
617
00:55:48,763 --> 00:55:50,806
Tell us what you saw, Mr. Crotty.
618
00:55:50,890 --> 00:55:54,560
I've told those head-shrinking doctors
four dozen times! I'm sick of it.
619
00:55:54,894 --> 00:55:58,731
I tell them and I get laughed at
and clucked over.
620
00:56:02,109 --> 00:56:03,903
You promise not to laugh at me?
621
00:56:04,153 --> 00:56:05,153
Promise.
622
00:56:06,030 --> 00:56:07,073
Okay.
623
00:56:07,740 --> 00:56:11,619
I was flying south from Corpus Christi,
heading here, Brownsville.
624
00:56:12,661 --> 00:56:16,832
I turned in from the Gulf, heading for
the airport about 20 miles out...
625
00:56:17,041 --> 00:56:20,836
...all of a sudden I see
these flying saucers.
626
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,339
Three of them.
One big and two little ones.
627
00:56:23,714 --> 00:56:26,842
I had to do some fancy flying
or they'd have run right into me.
628
00:56:26,926 --> 00:56:31,389
I dived down and landed
in the first place I saw, a street.
629
00:56:31,806 --> 00:56:33,849
I've never been so rattled in my life.
630
00:56:34,642 --> 00:56:36,477
I cracked up a little, sure.
631
00:56:36,685 --> 00:56:39,855
I plowed into an old Ford
and ended up on someone's porch.
632
00:56:40,648 --> 00:56:43,776
Who wouldn't lose their head
after seeing something like that?
633
00:56:43,859 --> 00:56:47,113
- They were flying saucers?
- I don't know what else to call them.
634
00:56:47,530 --> 00:56:49,490
They were shaped...
635
00:56:50,991 --> 00:56:52,410
...like ants.
636
00:56:56,664 --> 00:56:59,500
It sounds crazy
but that's what they were shaped like.
637
00:56:59,708 --> 00:57:04,130
The big one was about 15 feet long
and had wings like a fly.
638
00:57:04,505 --> 00:57:08,717
The other two seemed to be chasing
the big one. One here. Two here.
639
00:57:09,009 --> 00:57:13,347
They zoomed around me like kamikazes.
Scared me out of my pants!
640
00:57:13,931 --> 00:57:15,349
Excuse me, ma'am.
641
00:57:16,142 --> 00:57:19,770
They said that Ford wasn't a new one.
It was all beat up to begin with.
642
00:57:19,937 --> 00:57:21,897
So what's all the beef?
643
00:57:24,859 --> 00:57:26,986
You don't believe me either. Do you?
644
00:57:27,069 --> 00:57:28,446
On the contrary, we do.
645
00:57:28,529 --> 00:57:29,572
You do?
646
00:57:30,364 --> 00:57:31,364
Good.
647
00:57:31,449 --> 00:57:35,995
What direction were these flying saucers
going the last time you saw them?
648
00:57:36,454 --> 00:57:39,874
West, I'd say. Yes, due west.
649
00:57:40,499 --> 00:57:42,376
Will you get me out of here?
650
00:57:42,585 --> 00:57:45,588
- We'll speak to the doctor about it.
- I'd appreciate it.
651
00:57:45,671 --> 00:57:49,425
Try and get my clothes, too.
They only gave me these slippers...
652
00:57:50,050 --> 00:57:52,595
...but not even a rope to hold up my pants.
653
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,973
- We'll be seeing you.
- Be right neighborly if you could help.
654
00:57:56,056 --> 00:57:57,516
I'll sure be hoping.
655
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:00,227
- Mr. Graham?
- Yes?
656
00:58:00,311 --> 00:58:02,813
How was your talk with Mr. Crotty?
657
00:58:03,105 --> 00:58:05,316
You're wise to keep him locked up, Doctor.
658
00:58:05,441 --> 00:58:09,236
I've recommended his release.
He's not demented.
659
00:58:09,570 --> 00:58:13,324
I'm convinced he's trying to pull
a publicity stunt with this weird story.
660
00:58:13,407 --> 00:58:15,367
The government wants him
to be kept here...
661
00:58:15,451 --> 00:58:17,077
...so he doesn't get any publicity.
662
00:58:17,244 --> 00:58:18,329
The government?
663
00:58:18,454 --> 00:58:20,331
He's to have no visitors.
664
00:58:20,414 --> 00:58:24,126
If any information is given out about him,
you'll be held responsible.
665
00:58:24,585 --> 00:58:26,837
I can't tell you
why this is essential.
666
00:58:27,213 --> 00:58:30,382
We'll let you know as soon as possible.
We'll tell you when he's well.
667
00:58:36,388 --> 00:58:40,809
A bit more than 700 air miles
from White Sands to Brownsville.
668
00:58:41,435 --> 00:58:42,478
Southeast.
669
00:58:42,978 --> 00:58:45,814
This Crotty said they were heading west
when he saw them.
670
00:58:45,898 --> 00:58:46,899
I believe him.
671
00:58:46,982 --> 00:58:51,862
There were strong easterly winds
the day Crotty saw the ants.
672
00:58:52,154 --> 00:58:54,615
They'd follow the line of least resistance.
673
00:58:54,865 --> 00:58:59,161
We can surmise that one of the queens,
possibly both of them...
674
00:58:59,578 --> 00:59:02,915
...can create nests in this general area.
675
00:59:04,041 --> 00:59:06,335
We'd better inform
the Mexican authorities...
676
00:59:06,502 --> 00:59:09,296
...and concentrate our search efforts here.
677
00:59:09,755 --> 00:59:13,384
As far south as Panama. As far north as...
678
00:59:14,343 --> 00:59:17,388
...Santa Barbara, on the California coast.
679
00:59:17,638 --> 00:59:19,056
That's an awful lot of area.
680
00:59:20,432 --> 00:59:21,475
I'll get it.
681
00:59:23,435 --> 00:59:24,478
Hello?
682
00:59:25,062 --> 00:59:26,939
Dr. Medford speaking.
683
00:59:28,607 --> 00:59:29,733
What?
684
00:59:30,401 --> 00:59:31,986
I'll be right there.
685
00:59:41,954 --> 00:59:45,416
"A nest hatched aboard a ship at sea."
686
01:00:06,145 --> 01:00:09,857
I'm sure you'll be interested
in this report I just received:
687
01:00:09,940 --> 01:00:13,944
"U.S.S. Milwaukee got radio bearing on
S.S. Viking before signal stopped."
688
01:00:14,820 --> 01:00:17,406
"Milwaukee proceeded at once to location."
689
01:00:17,615 --> 01:00:20,534
"Two seamen from Viking
rescued from sea by Milwaukee."
690
01:00:21,201 --> 01:00:23,704
"Seamen said no survivors remained
aboard Viking."
691
01:00:24,413 --> 01:00:27,082
"Not possible to put aboard
search and rescue party..."
692
01:00:27,166 --> 01:00:29,752
"...as Viking was infested
with the giant ants."
693
01:00:29,835 --> 01:00:34,965
Upon my orders, the S.S. Viking
has been sunk with naval gunfire.
694
01:00:35,299 --> 01:00:37,760
This was accomplished
at 0700 this morning.
695
01:00:37,968 --> 01:00:40,512
I don't see how a ship at sea could...
696
01:00:41,263 --> 01:00:42,806
1st OFFICIAL: Dr. Medford...
697
01:00:42,890 --> 01:00:46,185
...how could these giant creatures
get aboard that vessel unseen?
698
01:00:46,935 --> 01:00:51,106
The S.S. Viking anchored in Acapulco,
Mexico, for three days and four nights.
699
01:00:52,358 --> 01:00:56,654
It's then and there we believe one
of these missing queen ants flew aboard.
700
01:00:57,363 --> 01:00:59,323
Please give them your information.
701
01:01:01,575 --> 01:01:04,453
"Owners of the S.S. Viking reported
that on hold number one..."
702
01:01:04,578 --> 01:01:08,540
"...the hatch cover was off during
the entire time of loading. Even at night."
703
01:01:08,916 --> 01:01:13,003
"The crew had shore leave every night so
only a skeleton crew remained on watch."
704
01:01:13,837 --> 01:01:17,716
It was quite possible for a queen ant
to have flown onto that ship unseen.
705
01:01:18,050 --> 01:01:21,970
An open hold would be inviting as a place
to lay her eggs and hatch out a nest.
706
01:01:22,471 --> 01:01:27,184
I think it's time to inform the public.
It can't be kept a secret indefinitely.
707
01:01:27,267 --> 01:01:28,644
We can't risk it, sir.
708
01:01:28,727 --> 01:01:30,187
But you already have.
709
01:01:30,562 --> 01:01:34,108
The entire crew of the cruiser Milwaukee
knows about these things now.
710
01:01:34,191 --> 01:01:38,195
They know, but the Milwaukee
will be kept at sea until this is resolved.
711
01:01:39,988 --> 01:01:42,533
What do those flags on the map indicate?
712
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:47,079
These four indicate where we found
dead male ants.
713
01:01:48,163 --> 01:01:52,584
The most recent finding was about four
days ago near Mt. Wilson in California.
714
01:01:53,377 --> 01:01:57,589
It was decomposed and must have been
there for a month to five weeks.
715
01:01:58,424 --> 01:02:01,969
This flag, at Los Angeles,
indicates a lead.
716
01:02:02,177 --> 01:02:05,013
Mr. Graham and Sgt. Ben Peterson
are there now.
717
01:02:05,139 --> 01:02:08,976
They were flown there by Maj. Kibbee
to check on a large sugar theft.
718
01:02:09,101 --> 01:02:10,394
Forty tons, to be exact.
719
01:02:28,746 --> 01:02:30,664
When was this car broken into?
720
01:02:30,748 --> 01:02:32,624
I told you, Friday night.
721
01:02:32,916 --> 01:02:36,044
Yard watchman claims
he didn't see or hear a thing.
722
01:02:36,503 --> 01:02:38,672
What's so important
you got to work on Sunday?
723
01:02:38,756 --> 01:02:40,007
Where's the watchman?
724
01:02:40,090 --> 01:02:44,386
City jail. Any boob knows you need trucks
to carry away 40 tons of stuff.
725
01:02:44,553 --> 01:02:47,431
Said he didn't hear them.
He's either lying or he's deaf.
726
01:02:47,514 --> 01:02:48,724
And he ain't deaf.
727
01:02:49,725 --> 01:02:51,477
- Let's go see him.
- Yeah.
728
01:02:52,936 --> 01:02:54,396
Thanks, buddy.
729
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,232
After spoiling my day off
you could at least tell me...
730
01:02:57,316 --> 01:02:59,985
...how come a government cop
is so interested in this deal.
731
01:03:00,068 --> 01:03:01,779
He's got a sweet tooth.
732
01:03:06,158 --> 01:03:08,494
It's the only job
you've ever had?
733
01:03:08,660 --> 01:03:11,789
I've had a clean record
for 30 years at the railroad.
734
01:03:11,914 --> 01:03:15,542
Yard cop thinks you made a deal
not to see that car broken into.
735
01:03:15,626 --> 01:03:17,127
What sense does that make?
736
01:03:17,211 --> 01:03:19,880
Is sugar rare cargo?
Is there a black market for it?
737
01:03:19,963 --> 01:03:22,591
Did you ever hear of a fence for hot sugar?
738
01:03:23,050 --> 01:03:26,553
If I made a deal with crooks,
it wouldn't be for 40 tons of sugar!
739
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,515
I swear I didn't hear a thing Friday night.
740
01:03:29,765 --> 01:03:31,225
I'll be right back.
741
01:03:35,270 --> 01:03:39,483
That woman just identified the body
of her husband. See him right away.
742
01:03:39,608 --> 01:03:43,153
I've never had anything
to do with crooks. I'm an honest man.
743
01:03:43,237 --> 01:03:46,323
Sure, you can go home now.
Take care of him, will you?
744
01:03:46,573 --> 01:03:47,573
Thank you.
745
01:03:48,575 --> 01:03:50,911
I don't think this happened in a machine.
746
01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:54,790
Any machine that pulled hard enough
to tear his arm off at the shoulder...
747
01:03:54,873 --> 01:03:56,959
...would also have chopped up his face.
748
01:03:57,251 --> 01:03:59,545
Look at the laceration across his chest.
749
01:04:00,128 --> 01:04:03,215
Can't figure it, except he died from shock
and loss of blood.
750
01:04:03,298 --> 01:04:04,716
Thanks very much.
751
01:04:09,012 --> 01:04:10,389
His name's Thomas Lodge.
752
01:04:10,472 --> 01:04:14,309
Police found him, 6:30 a.m.
His car jumped a curb, went into a sign...
753
01:04:14,393 --> 01:04:18,146
...but not hard enough to do that.
They couldn't find the other arm.
754
01:04:18,647 --> 01:04:21,859
His wife said
that he left the house at 5:45.
755
01:04:22,109 --> 01:04:25,571
He had his two kids with him.
No sign of the kids yet.
756
01:04:30,284 --> 01:04:31,618
Mrs. Lodge...
757
01:04:31,702 --> 01:04:35,038
...was your husband accustomed
to taking his boys out so early?
758
01:04:35,581 --> 01:04:40,419
Tom works on Sunday from 9:00 to 7:00.
It's an extra job he had.
759
01:04:41,128 --> 01:04:44,715
He works so hard, he doesn't have
much time to spend with Jerry and Mike.
760
01:04:44,798 --> 01:04:48,886
Sundays they get up early
and go somewhere together to play.
761
01:04:50,387 --> 01:04:53,098
Do you know where they might
have gone this morning?
762
01:04:53,265 --> 01:04:54,308
Where?
763
01:04:55,267 --> 01:04:57,352
They go different places.
764
01:04:58,395 --> 01:05:00,647
Last Sunday,
Tom took the boys to the zoo.
765
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,150
They had such a good time.
766
01:05:03,442 --> 01:05:06,153
Tom fixed it with a keeper
so they could get in early...
767
01:05:06,236 --> 01:05:08,322
...and watch the feeding of the animals.
768
01:05:08,405 --> 01:05:10,240
Jerry talked about it all week.
769
01:05:11,408 --> 01:05:12,993
Where else did they go?
770
01:05:15,162 --> 01:05:19,041
Sometimes Tom took them boat riding
at MacArthur Park.
771
01:05:19,124 --> 01:05:22,210
For pony rides and miniature golf.
772
01:05:23,086 --> 01:05:26,298
They always come home so happy.
And so dirty!
773
01:05:26,798 --> 01:05:30,928
I kept asking Tom to do things
where they won't get so dirty.
774
01:05:31,011 --> 01:05:33,263
I spent the rest of the day cleaning them.
775
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:54,993
Can I see you a moment?
776
01:06:01,583 --> 01:06:03,126
- Rough?
- Yeah.
777
01:06:03,502 --> 01:06:07,089
Bob, these are the two officers
who found Lodge.
778
01:06:07,214 --> 01:06:08,757
- This is Ryan.
- Sutton.
779
01:06:08,966 --> 01:06:12,135
Patrolmen Sutton and Ryan.
This is Bob Graham.
780
01:06:12,761 --> 01:06:16,556
Dr. Medford and Pat are flying here
with Gen. O'Brien tonight.
781
01:06:16,848 --> 01:06:20,018
Kibbee called. He'll be over
after he's had a little breakfast.
782
01:06:20,102 --> 01:06:23,230
Show me on the map
just exactly where you found Lodge.
783
01:06:24,606 --> 01:06:27,734
- Right there.
- And he was dead when you found him?
784
01:06:28,235 --> 01:06:29,903
Where's MacArthur Park?
785
01:06:32,531 --> 01:06:34,074
That's a long ways.
786
01:06:34,992 --> 01:06:37,494
We've got to find out
where he took the kids.
787
01:06:37,577 --> 01:06:39,913
He couldn't have driven far.
He was too cut up.
788
01:06:41,248 --> 01:06:44,876
Is there any area where you found him
where he might've taken the kids...
789
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,505
...for a boat ride or miniature golf?
Pony rides, stuff like that.
790
01:06:48,630 --> 01:06:50,882
I don't know
any miniature golf courses.
791
01:06:50,966 --> 01:06:53,593
Griffith Park is the closest
where they rent horses.
792
01:06:53,677 --> 01:06:58,015
That's a long way, too.
Doesn't his wife know where they went?
793
01:06:58,598 --> 01:06:59,766
No.
794
01:07:00,350 --> 01:07:04,396
Did you make any arrests this morning,
say between 4:00 a.m. and noon?
795
01:07:04,563 --> 01:07:05,605
Yes, sir.
796
01:07:06,606 --> 01:07:09,026
Four. Three drunks and a traffic citation.
797
01:07:10,527 --> 01:07:12,320
I'd like to talk to them.
798
01:07:12,446 --> 01:07:15,365
They might have seen something
that'll help us.
799
01:07:19,828 --> 01:07:21,788
Where were you going
when you were arrested?
800
01:07:21,872 --> 01:07:22,873
I don't know.
801
01:07:22,956 --> 01:07:25,292
I don't even know
where I was coming from.
802
01:07:26,084 --> 01:07:28,628
- How about you?
- I don't know either.
803
01:07:32,632 --> 01:07:36,636
As I said before,
I prefer the informal type of social life.
804
01:07:37,012 --> 01:07:39,931
- I disagree with you.
- Really?
805
01:07:40,057 --> 01:07:42,267
I'm at my best in my white tie and tails.
806
01:07:42,350 --> 01:07:45,062
All right, Beau Brummell, knock it off.
807
01:07:45,145 --> 01:07:46,271
Look, miss...
808
01:07:46,354 --> 01:07:49,357
- All I did was go through a red light.
- At 60 mph?
809
01:07:49,524 --> 01:07:52,569
- Was something chasing you?
- No, I was in a hurry to get home.
810
01:07:52,652 --> 01:07:53,695
Where from?
811
01:07:53,904 --> 01:07:56,782
I spent the night with a sick friend.
812
01:07:57,407 --> 01:08:00,285
I'd rather not mention any names,
he's married.
813
01:08:01,453 --> 01:08:03,121
- Okay, you can go.
- Thank you.
814
01:08:05,582 --> 01:08:09,086
I'm through with them. Let them
go back to the tank and sleep it off.
815
01:08:09,169 --> 01:08:11,797
- All right, let's go.
- With pleasure, sir.
816
01:08:14,091 --> 01:08:15,926
You said there were three?
817
01:08:16,009 --> 01:08:18,720
The other one's in the alcoholic ward
at the hospital.
818
01:08:18,804 --> 01:08:21,098
Practically a permanent resident there.
819
01:08:21,264 --> 01:08:22,808
Let's go talk to him, too.
820
01:08:25,727 --> 01:08:28,438
Sneaked out of here Saturday afternoon.
Back at 5:00 this morning.
821
01:08:28,522 --> 01:08:32,025
You can talk to him,
but I don't think he'll cooperate.
822
01:08:32,109 --> 01:08:34,194
Hey, Admiral, are we gonna be drafted?
823
01:08:34,444 --> 01:08:35,487
No, sir.
824
01:08:35,570 --> 01:08:39,491
Behave yourself, Harry.
This is the man. Mind your manners.
825
01:08:39,783 --> 01:08:43,036
- If he gives you trouble, I'm outside.
- He won't.
826
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,122
Hello, Jensen. How are you?
827
01:08:45,288 --> 01:08:49,042
How do, gentlemen? Looking for recruits?
828
01:08:49,126 --> 01:08:50,377
Not today.
829
01:08:50,585 --> 01:08:53,505
- Jensen, you come here often, don't you?
- I like it here.
830
01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:56,591
- What have you been doing lately?
- Same as always, nothing.
831
01:08:56,675 --> 01:08:58,176
But I got some deals on.
832
01:08:58,260 --> 01:08:59,803
Sure.
833
01:08:59,970 --> 01:09:03,390
You didn't see anything unusual
yesterday or this morning, did you?
834
01:09:03,557 --> 01:09:06,685
No, nothing unusual. Same as always.
835
01:09:07,686 --> 01:09:09,187
They're gone now.
836
01:09:10,021 --> 01:09:12,524
I saw some little airplanes this morning.
837
01:09:13,525 --> 01:09:15,777
Didn't seem big enough
for them to get into.
838
01:09:16,111 --> 01:09:17,445
Big enough for who?
839
01:09:17,696 --> 01:09:19,114
The ants.
840
01:09:19,573 --> 01:09:22,909
I'd like to get out of here,
but I ain't joining the Army to do it!
841
01:09:23,034 --> 01:09:25,328
- You can't make me, there's laws!
- We know.
842
01:09:25,412 --> 01:09:27,956
Jensen, what kind of ants did you see?
843
01:09:28,290 --> 01:09:29,708
Big ones.
844
01:09:30,709 --> 01:09:32,252
Ain't there now.
845
01:09:32,586 --> 01:09:34,921
- Mostly at night I see them.
- Where?
846
01:09:35,422 --> 01:09:38,300
General, I'll make a deal with you:
847
01:09:38,383 --> 01:09:41,678
If you make me a sergeant in charge
of the booze, and I'll enlist.
848
01:09:41,761 --> 01:09:43,889
Make me a sergeant
in charge of the booze!
849
01:09:43,972 --> 01:09:46,558
Make me a sergeant
in charge of the booze!
850
01:09:46,641 --> 01:09:49,769
- Exactly where do these ants show up?
- In the river.
851
01:09:50,145 --> 01:09:51,521
In the river.
852
01:09:52,189 --> 01:09:54,858
I saw it once when it had water in it.
853
01:09:55,233 --> 01:09:56,943
Now, when was that?
854
01:09:57,819 --> 01:09:59,279
Let me see.
855
01:10:01,448 --> 01:10:02,699
In the river bed.
856
01:10:02,991 --> 01:10:06,828
Those big openings in the sides
are like sewer outlets.
857
01:10:08,371 --> 01:10:11,041
Jensen, how long have you been
seeing these things?
858
01:10:11,124 --> 01:10:14,586
A long time. How long have I been here?
859
01:10:15,378 --> 01:10:18,089
The doctor says he was first admitted
five months ago.
860
01:10:18,173 --> 01:10:19,841
Thanks, Mac.
861
01:10:20,258 --> 01:10:23,386
Take me with you and
I'll enlist, I promise.
862
01:10:23,470 --> 01:10:24,763
Make me a sergeant!
863
01:10:24,888 --> 01:10:28,225
Give me the booze!
Make me a sergeant. Give me the booze!
864
01:10:30,435 --> 01:10:33,188
Please, my nerves!
865
01:11:08,932 --> 01:11:10,850
Which way is the hospital, Ryan?
866
01:11:11,768 --> 01:11:13,478
Right over there.
867
01:11:24,030 --> 01:11:25,740
Ben, come here.
868
01:11:33,957 --> 01:11:36,793
Pretty good model of a
kid's idea of an L-1.
869
01:11:37,294 --> 01:11:40,213
Get on the radio and contact Mrs. Lodge.
870
01:11:40,297 --> 01:11:43,800
Find out if the kids ever owned
a plane like that. Wait for a report.
871
01:11:43,883 --> 01:11:45,093
Right.
872
01:12:14,873 --> 01:12:16,583
Here's tire marks.
873
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,466
New tires. Lodge had new tires
on his car, didn't he?
874
01:12:24,758 --> 01:12:25,800
Yeah.
875
01:12:27,260 --> 01:12:28,636
Hey, Bob! Ben!
876
01:12:43,735 --> 01:12:45,570
It's them all right.
877
01:12:55,997 --> 01:12:57,999
I don't smell formic acid, do you?
878
01:12:58,083 --> 01:13:00,668
No, but it could all fall right into place.
879
01:13:01,169 --> 01:13:04,214
Lodge and his kids
down here flying their model plane.
880
01:13:04,297 --> 01:13:06,341
Suddenly, the ants attack.
881
01:13:06,549 --> 01:13:08,802
Lodge fights to protect his kids.
882
01:13:09,511 --> 01:13:12,389
Somehow, he breaks away,
gets into his car, and drives off.
883
01:13:13,723 --> 01:13:15,600
But what about the kids?
884
01:13:15,725 --> 01:13:17,143
Maybe they ran away.
885
01:13:17,435 --> 01:13:19,270
No, we'd have picked them up by now.
886
01:13:20,605 --> 01:13:22,690
Unless they ran in here.
887
01:13:23,817 --> 01:13:24,859
Mr. Graham!
888
01:13:25,777 --> 01:13:28,238
That model plane
belonged to the Lodge kids.
889
01:13:28,321 --> 01:13:31,491
The husband used to bring
the boys down here to fly it.
890
01:13:31,783 --> 01:13:35,954
Got to be the same plane, same color.
And there's no model plane at home.
891
01:13:36,454 --> 01:13:39,582
Where do these things go?
I mean, how far do they go?
892
01:13:39,999 --> 01:13:44,003
Don't know for sure, but there's more
than 700 miles of them under the city.
893
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:02,230
Why is the Army
sending troops into L.A.?
894
01:14:02,313 --> 01:14:04,274
And a Marine regiment?
895
01:14:04,357 --> 01:14:07,360
Why a special press
conference at 5:00 on a Sunday?
896
01:14:07,444 --> 01:14:10,405
- You'll just have to wait.
- Why all the VIPs from Washington?
897
01:14:10,488 --> 01:14:12,198
Has the cold war gotten hot?
898
01:14:12,282 --> 01:14:14,367
Gentlemen, come in now.
899
01:14:19,664 --> 01:14:24,085
This is the most serious crisis
this city has ever faced.
900
01:14:24,252 --> 01:14:26,754
There's no time for questions.
Listen carefully...
901
01:14:26,838 --> 01:14:29,716
...so you can report the facts
to your newspapers.
902
01:14:29,924 --> 01:14:33,261
This is Dr. Harold Medford
of the Department of Agriculture.
903
01:14:33,344 --> 01:14:36,264
Gen. O'Brien, Air Force Intelligence.
904
01:14:36,556 --> 01:14:40,226
Gen. James, Army Intelligence.
The others you know.
905
01:14:40,768 --> 01:14:42,437
- Ready, sir?
- One moment.
906
01:14:43,897 --> 01:14:46,024
- Set, Charlie?
- You're on.
907
01:14:46,107 --> 01:14:50,111
We interrupt all radio and television
programs indefinitely.
908
01:14:50,487 --> 01:14:55,450
Keep your radio and television sets
turned on. This is an emergency.
909
01:14:55,533 --> 01:14:58,328
I repeat, this is an emergency!
910
01:14:59,621 --> 01:15:02,582
"By direction of the President
of the United States..."
911
01:15:02,749 --> 01:15:06,628
"...and the Governor of the State
of California, and the Mayor..."
912
01:15:07,086 --> 01:15:09,172
"...the city of Los Angeles is..."
913
01:15:09,506 --> 01:15:13,760
"...in the interests of public safety,
hereby under martial law."
914
01:15:18,139 --> 01:15:20,099
"Curfew is at 1800 hours."
915
01:15:20,975 --> 01:15:25,522
"Any persons on the street or outside
their quarters after 6:00 p.m..."
916
01:15:26,147 --> 01:15:28,608
"...will be subject to arrest
by military police."
917
01:15:28,816 --> 01:15:31,736
Now as for the reasons
for this most drastic decision:
918
01:15:32,904 --> 01:15:37,033
A couple of months ago in the New Mexico
desert, giant ants were discovered.
919
01:15:37,158 --> 01:15:42,497
They're similar in appearance
to the ones you're familiar with.
920
01:15:43,081 --> 01:15:47,961
Except they are mutations, ranging
in size from 9 to 12 feet in length.
921
01:15:48,586 --> 01:15:52,131
The New Mexico colony was destroyed,
but two queen ants escaped.
922
01:15:52,382 --> 01:15:56,427
One has been found and destroyed.
The other has not yet been found.
923
01:15:57,178 --> 01:16:03,309
It has established a nest in the storm
drains beneath the streets of Los Angeles.
924
01:16:03,434 --> 01:16:06,729
It's not known how long this nest
has been established...
925
01:16:06,980 --> 01:16:09,941
...or how many of these
lethal monsters have hatched.
926
01:16:10,275 --> 01:16:13,111
Maybe a few, maybe thousands.
927
01:16:14,028 --> 01:16:16,823
If new queen ants have hatched
and escaped this nest...
928
01:16:17,365 --> 01:16:20,827
...other American cities
may be in danger.
929
01:16:21,369 --> 01:16:23,621
These creatures are
extremely dangerous.
930
01:16:24,497 --> 01:16:26,708
They've already killed
a number of persons.
931
01:16:26,791 --> 01:16:30,253
Stay in your homes.
I repeat, stay in your homes!
932
01:16:30,837 --> 01:16:33,798
Your personal safety,
the safety of the entire city...
933
01:16:34,465 --> 01:16:37,885
...depends upon your full cooperation
with the military authorities.
934
01:17:00,825 --> 01:17:02,952
You got a pass to be down here, lady?
935
01:17:03,036 --> 01:17:06,623
- No, but I'm with Mrs. Lodge.
- This is a restricted area. Let's go.
936
01:17:06,706 --> 01:17:07,832
Hold it, Sergeant!
937
01:17:08,166 --> 01:17:10,084
- This is the mother...
- They have no pass...
938
01:17:10,168 --> 01:17:12,378
Go talk to the general.
939
01:17:14,339 --> 01:17:15,882
Good evening, Mrs. Lodge.
940
01:17:17,550 --> 01:17:19,427
- Is there any word yet?
- No, not yet.
941
01:17:19,510 --> 01:17:22,138
We've got an awful lot of people
to help find them.
942
01:17:22,263 --> 01:17:25,767
- This may take awhile. Why not go home?
- Oh, no.
943
01:17:26,225 --> 01:17:30,355
- I want to be here when...
- Sure. Take it easy and try not to worry.
944
01:17:36,611 --> 01:17:38,946
Since time is of the essence...
945
01:17:39,030 --> 01:17:42,033
...I recommend we pour gasoline
into those drains and light it.
946
01:17:42,116 --> 01:17:45,244
It'll burn out anything in there
and we can still control the fire...
947
01:17:45,328 --> 01:17:47,872
...so there'll be no property damage
on the street.
948
01:17:47,955 --> 01:17:50,667
Any ants that get through,
the troops can take care of.
949
01:17:50,750 --> 01:17:54,879
We can't do that until we know
whether those two kids are in there.
950
01:17:54,962 --> 01:17:57,256
Think there's a chance they're still alive?
951
01:17:57,465 --> 01:18:00,802
Are we supposed to jeopardize
the lives of everyone for children...
952
01:18:00,885 --> 01:18:02,804
...who in all probability are already dead?
953
01:18:02,887 --> 01:18:06,224
- Ask their mother that question.
- She's right over there.
954
01:18:12,605 --> 01:18:13,981
I see what you mean.
955
01:18:14,065 --> 01:18:17,151
We not only have her to think of,
but as I told you before...
956
01:18:17,235 --> 01:18:20,780
...we can't risk fire until we know
if any new queens have hatched...
957
01:18:20,863 --> 01:18:23,908
...and flown out of this nest.
Where's Gen. O'Brien?
958
01:18:24,075 --> 01:18:26,536
- He's over there by the command car.
- Thank you.
959
01:18:27,787 --> 01:18:30,039
- Can we start now, General?
- I think so.
960
01:18:30,248 --> 01:18:33,459
- How about it, Major?
- Waiting for more coverage to the north.
961
01:18:33,584 --> 01:18:35,878
Contact the northern units, soldier.
962
01:18:36,212 --> 01:18:39,549
- Northern units come in.
- How about the south?
963
01:18:39,674 --> 01:18:41,426
All drains as far as Long Beach...
964
01:18:41,509 --> 01:18:43,511
...are covered by bazookas
or flamethrowers.
965
01:18:43,594 --> 01:18:46,389
- Openings of these drains?
- Police and Marines are covering.
966
01:18:46,472 --> 01:18:48,015
How about it, soldier?
967
01:18:48,307 --> 01:18:50,393
Can't contact northern units, sir.
968
01:18:50,852 --> 01:18:52,687
Let's go ahead anyway.
969
01:18:52,937 --> 01:18:56,315
Gen. O'Brien to all search units:
Proceed into storm drains!
970
01:18:58,526 --> 01:19:00,445
- Yes, sir?
- Get moving.
971
01:19:00,528 --> 01:19:02,822
Come on, boys,
let's get rolling!
972
01:19:02,905 --> 01:19:04,490
Roll them out of here!
973
01:19:13,916 --> 01:19:15,668
Watch yourself, Bob.
974
01:20:52,306 --> 01:20:53,891
Graham in drain 203.
975
01:20:54,183 --> 01:20:58,521
Graham in drain 203. In six-tenths
of a mile, nothing to report. Over.
976
01:20:59,230 --> 01:21:00,731
Medford in drain 207.
977
01:21:00,815 --> 01:21:04,861
Medford in drain 207.
In half of a mile. Nothing to report, over.
978
01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:06,612
Peterson in drain 223.
979
01:21:06,696 --> 01:21:10,950
Peterson in 223, we're in six-tenths
of a mile. Nothing to report, over.
980
01:21:11,242 --> 01:21:12,869
This is Kibbee in drain 192.
981
01:21:12,952 --> 01:21:17,665
Repeat, Kibbee in 192, in eight-tenths.
Nothing to report, over.
982
01:21:22,753 --> 01:21:24,422
Wait a minute, hold it.
983
01:21:25,131 --> 01:21:26,465
Kill the motor.
984
01:21:32,263 --> 01:21:33,931
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
985
01:21:36,309 --> 01:21:38,686
This is Peterson! Stop all motors!
986
01:21:39,353 --> 01:21:42,315
This is Peterson! Stop all motors!
987
01:22:01,542 --> 01:22:03,419
This is Peterson in drain 223.
988
01:22:03,502 --> 01:22:07,381
Peterson in drain 223. We're in
just over a mile. I hear something.
989
01:22:12,553 --> 01:22:14,513
There it is again. Stand by.
990
01:22:23,856 --> 01:22:25,691
Where does this thing go?
991
01:22:30,029 --> 01:22:33,699
That pipe runs into a main line
drain that isn't finished yet.
992
01:22:33,783 --> 01:22:35,576
Still in the construction stage.
993
01:22:40,873 --> 01:22:42,416
Give me a hand.
994
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:49,423
Tell them where I'm going.
995
01:22:51,634 --> 01:22:55,388
Peterson is going through
the connecting feeder to drain 267.
996
01:22:55,680 --> 01:23:00,142
We've heard what may be the kids.
Repeat, we've heard what may be the kids.
997
01:23:00,476 --> 01:23:01,519
Stand by.
998
01:23:03,896 --> 01:23:06,273
- There's construction down there?
- Yeah.
999
01:23:06,357 --> 01:23:10,277
- Tell O'Brien to turn the work lights on.
- Right.
1000
01:23:11,946 --> 01:23:15,074
My map shows a portion of drain 267
is unfinished...
1001
01:23:15,157 --> 01:23:18,160
...with construction postponed
for the last 60 days.
1002
01:23:18,327 --> 01:23:23,290
If they've left work lights installed,
turn them on. Stand by.
1003
01:23:53,612 --> 01:23:57,033
Mike? Jerry? Are you there?
1004
01:23:57,116 --> 01:24:00,202
- Yes, we're here!
- Schmitty, they're alive!
1005
01:24:00,286 --> 01:24:01,286
They're alive.
1006
01:24:01,454 --> 01:24:03,664
Tell Mrs. Lodge her boys are alive.
1007
01:24:16,802 --> 01:24:21,640
Mike, Jerry, stay where you are!
We'll get you out, but don't move!
1008
01:24:22,183 --> 01:24:23,934
There's two ants in here.
1009
01:24:24,060 --> 01:24:27,855
I got a strong brood odor,
like in the New Mexico nest!
1010
01:24:28,314 --> 01:24:32,526
Report that to O'Brien.
Tell him I must be near the nest.
1011
01:24:32,610 --> 01:24:36,155
I can't use the flamethrower.
The kids are right in the line of fire.
1012
01:24:36,238 --> 01:24:38,199
Tell O'Brien to send in troops.
1013
01:24:46,624 --> 01:24:50,086
Peterson says it has the same
smell as the nest in New Mexico.
1014
01:24:50,169 --> 01:24:53,631
"Brood odor," he calls it.
He asks for troops to be sent in.
1015
01:24:53,798 --> 01:24:55,466
He's found the nest!
1016
01:24:55,674 --> 01:25:00,012
To all units, condition red.
Drain 267 is the target area!
1017
01:25:00,096 --> 01:25:03,182
Repeat, condition red.
Drain 267 is the target area!
1018
01:25:38,926 --> 01:25:41,887
Repeat, condition red.
Drain 267 is the target area.
1019
01:25:41,971 --> 01:25:45,516
O'Connors, bring up my jeep.
I hope we've found this nest in time.
1020
01:26:16,463 --> 01:26:18,257
Mike, Jerry, get in the corner!
1021
01:26:30,102 --> 01:26:32,479
Come on Jerry, Mike,
let's get out of here!
1022
01:26:34,398 --> 01:26:35,816
Come on, Mike.
1023
01:26:37,026 --> 01:26:40,863
We're going through this pipe.
There's a man at the other end.
1024
01:26:40,946 --> 01:26:44,200
Keep crawling until you get down there.
Understand?
1025
01:26:44,575 --> 01:26:46,869
Grab hold. Go on.
1026
01:26:47,578 --> 01:26:49,705
Keep crawling, to the other end.
1027
01:27:20,778 --> 01:27:22,488
Put your light over there!
1028
01:27:32,248 --> 01:27:33,540
Keep at them!
1029
01:27:40,756 --> 01:27:41,799
Ben.
1030
01:27:44,426 --> 01:27:47,096
- How about the kids, Ben?
- They're okay.
1031
01:27:48,430 --> 01:27:49,473
The pipe...
1032
01:27:52,893 --> 01:27:54,186
Medics!
1033
01:28:33,767 --> 01:28:36,478
- Stop the firing!
- Cease fire!
1034
01:28:36,562 --> 01:28:39,356
No more explosives,
we can't risk closing off the nest.
1035
01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:41,233
Is there any type of gas we can use?
1036
01:28:41,358 --> 01:28:43,777
We can't take a chance,
might poison the whole city.
1037
01:28:43,861 --> 01:28:48,240
We must locate the egg chamber,
find out if any new queens have hatched.
1038
01:29:08,302 --> 01:29:09,762
Medics!
1039
01:29:33,619 --> 01:29:35,245
Start digging, you guys.
1040
01:29:43,087 --> 01:29:45,047
Hurry up, dig.
1041
01:31:02,166 --> 01:31:04,793
Hold it. Don't burn anything
until we get the okay.
1042
01:31:04,877 --> 01:31:07,129
- General, where's Dr. Medford?
- He's coming.
1043
01:31:16,805 --> 01:31:18,182
Is this it, Doctor?
1044
01:31:19,183 --> 01:31:21,435
New princess ants.
New queens.
1045
01:31:23,020 --> 01:31:27,274
This is the egg chamber.
The same as we found in New Mexico.
1046
01:31:29,067 --> 01:31:30,486
Are we too late?
1047
01:31:30,986 --> 01:31:32,738
Fortunately, we're in time.
1048
01:31:32,905 --> 01:31:35,741
I'm certain no new queens have escaped
from this nest.
1049
01:31:35,991 --> 01:31:38,494
The job will be done
when these are destroyed.
1050
01:31:38,911 --> 01:31:40,245
Okay, burn them out.
1051
01:31:47,669 --> 01:31:52,090
Pat, if these monsters are a result
of the first atomic bomb in 1945...
1052
01:31:52,508 --> 01:31:55,260
...what about all the others
that have been exploded since then?
1053
01:31:55,344 --> 01:31:56,386
I don't know.
1054
01:31:56,762 --> 01:31:58,305
Nobody knows, Robert.
1055
01:31:59,389 --> 01:32:03,769
When man entered the atomic age,
he opened a door into a new world.
1056
01:32:04,853 --> 01:32:09,107
What we'll eventually find
in that new world, nobody can predict.
