Sheriff.

Hi, little buddy.

Hey, what's happening?

Oh, nothin' much.

I thought I'd stop by and see if you had a scoop for the paper

Well, things are pretty quiet around here, Davy.

Oh?

Well, you know I always have things under control.

Well, I guess there's nothin' goin' on in this neck

of the woods except the revival over in Gleason Town Hall

- You goin'? - No. Are you?

No. I got me a date with Terry.

Well, I'm surprised that Dan Kester would let you

anywhere near her.

He's her brother-in-law, not her father.

Well, don't get on the wrong side of him, young fella.

He's a strange man and he's workin' up a big head of steam.

Dan?

Where the hell are you goin"?

In to town.

What the hell for?

Well, I'm goin' to a revival.

Well, you need it.

Git!

Sometimes, the only way I know you're still alive

is when I hear you flush the toilet.

- Hallelujah! - Hallelujah!

The joy that you're feelin' right now is just the beginning.

Our revival is gonna grow and grow for the next four days.

Days that are gonna change yourfives.

HI, Terry ready yet?

No, not quite.

You want a little drink?

Oh, no thanks, Mrs. Kester. I'll just wait right here.

Well, you can call me Ev, Dave.

Okay, Ev.

Sure you don't want one? - No, uh, I'm sure.

Terry might be quite a while yet.

You know, you and Terry don't look much alike for sisters.

But I gotta say that good looks run in your family.

Well, thank you, Dave.

You know, it's too bad that there's this little

age difference between us.

If you were five years older, I'd jump ya.

Terry!

Hey, you look great.

Doesn't she, Mrs. Kester?

Yeah.

Come on, Terry.

Hello, Sheriff's Office.

I see.Uh,huh.

Disturbing the peace?

Yes, ma'am, that's an arrestable offence.

No, the law does not apply to preaching.

Hellfire and brimstone, that is what is in store for you!

It's right here, Psalms 11.6,

"Upon the wicked, He shall reign fire and brimstone. "

Dutch? Dutch, this is Ev.

Listen, there's not a drop of booze left in this house.

I, I just can't stand it, I'm really desperate.

Would you bring me something?

Oh, thanks, Dutch. Listen... listen, you'll find me

very appreciative when you get here.

Okay, bye-bye-

Well, here we are.

You've got to be kidding!

You said park.

Come here.

Can you come again tomorrow night?

Well, I certainly hope so.

The revival will be still here.

Gimme that old time religion.

Boy, I can hardly wait to get saved again tomorrow night.

- Oh, Dan, wait. - Huh?

You forgot your back braces.

Whoa, damn, it's good you remembered that.

Ooh, boy, if I went home without that on, there would

be hell to pay.

"L saw a star fall from heaven onto the earth and there arose

such a smoke out of the pit as a smoke from a great furnace.

And out of the smoke there came locusts upon the earth

and unto them was given power. "

How was it?

Grr... eat.

What did the preacher... talk about?

Sin.

Yeah, what did he have to say about it?

He, uh, was against it.

Listen, damn it, you better tell me what that preacher said

because I don't for a minute believe this rotten,

stupid story of yours.

Look at that! Oh!

Aagh! Aah!

What the hell was that?

Weird.

Geez, would you listen to that wind.

Lights are dead.

What's wrong?

Car won't start either.

- Oh, great! - Wait here, Terry.

Terry, come on!

Come on.

Oh!

What the goddamn hell was that?

It was a shooting star, maybe, huh?

Well, there's... there's nothin' there now.

No fire, no... no smoke, no smell, no sound, nothin.

Well, you saw it too. It wasn't just me, you saw it.

There must be somethin' out there.

Well, whatever it is, it can keep til mornin'.

You mean to say that all hell just busted loose in our field

and you're goin' on in to bed?

I'm tired.

Well, you're always tired.

Well, that revival really took it out of me.

Now, if you want to, you can stay out here all night

lookin' at nothing.

Our radar's on the fritz.

We are off our vector.

Hey, you know there's something screwy going on up here.

We're only 35 knots above our stalling speed,

you better take a quick dive.

Still dropping.

Hello, Sheriff's Office.

Huh? I see.

You say your radio won't work.

Well, all I call tell you is call Joe's Radio Shop.

He opens at 9 a. m. sharp.

Your car won't start? Well, all I can tell you

is call Ernie's Auto Repair, he opens at 8:00.

No, ma'am, I don't have the number.

All I can tell you is use the Yellow Pages.

Let your fingers do the walking, ha,ha,ha“.

That's funny, I wonder why she hung up on me?

Don't move or I'll shoot.

Jesus, 'bout scared the death outta me.

Put the gun away. - What the hell are ya doin'

sneakin' in here at this hour?

I had to walk home.

I warned ya, that little Perkins snot is rotten.

It wasn't Dave's fault, h is car broke down.

Ha, you fell for that dumb old trick?

Ha, ha, that had whiskers on it when I was a kid. Ha!

It really did break down.

- Yeah, where? - In the junkyard.

Hmm, that's just exactly where a horny little punk

like that would park, in a junkyard.

I hate to burst your bubble, but it was my idea.

I oughta put you over my knee, and pull down your britches

and spank the hell out of ya.

Oh! I always wondered why you used to spank me so much,

so you could get your jollies.

Why you...

Man can't even have any peace in his own house.

Yes, this is Dr. Langer from Montclair Observatory again.

I've got a gamma ray shower

and the barometer's dropped an inch in less than 20 minutes.

That's unprecedented, right, fight

And none of the other phenomena I'm reporting correlate

with any previously observed date in this area.

Did I ever tell you you're gorgeous?

Not recently.

Paul, how many times do I have to tell you,

you talk to plants to make them grow.

- Talk to plants? - Right.

Not you, Vance. You haven't fallen for that metaphysical

nonsense. - Well, my M.O. says

that I am half metaphysics and half astrophysics.

Now, what made you take the long walk down the hall?

More freaky stuff from northern Wisconsin.

Freaky. - We just got a report in that's

right out of Ripley.

And what's the source?

Montclair Observatory and Dr. J. Langer.

Langer?

For openers, "We have a heavy gamma ray shower,

an incredibly fast drop in barometric pressure,

an aurora with no sun activity and an amazingly potent

unknown ground level x-ray source nearby. "

Paul, didn't we receive a SAC report on a fouled-up B52?

Yeah.

Was it in the same quadrant?

Oh, you're right.

It was... right here, then it

disappeared off the radar scope.

Any report of a crash in that area?

No. - What's the closest town?

Horton. You better pack your suitcase.

I'm wearin' it, old buddy.

Good, cause I've all ready arranged your transportation.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Seven o'clock already?

No, it's, uh, 6:02.

Well, what... oh, not you again.

Okay, what's up, Rider?

Well, we just got a report an oil freighter

in the middle of Lake Superior.

Oh, that's beautiful. Did you check on the car fairies

on Lake Michigan?

No, no, Vance, this is serious. A couple of the seamen

upon board the ship, saw a plane crash...

Oh? - and it just might be ours.

Any sign of survivors? - We don't know.

Okay, Dave, keep in touch. Oh, uh, Rider... uh, what time

am I supposed to meet this uh, uh... Langer at the observatory?

You're expected at 9:00 sharp.

Nine I can make, but if I don't get some shut-eye,

I ain't gonna be very sharp. Bye,

Good-bye.

It's way past 7:00 already. - So.

So, when the hell are you gonna get off your big, fat ass

and go see what happened in our pasture last night?

Let me eat my breakfast in peace.

I gotta keep up my strength.

What for?

The more usual kinds of stars are what we astronomers call

the "main sequence" stars and they run the gamut

from the blue giants to the red dwarfs.

And then the more fascinating stars we call "abnormal" stars.

Then we have the white dwarfs and they have a radius

of less that 1/100th of our sun's and a density so great

that even a teaspoon of this matter would weigh tons

and it could only be lifted by a giant crane.

Then there are the quasars, neutron stars and black holes

or collapsed stars. Now, let me show you my conception

of the creation of this universe.

Out of this primordial fireball, the galaxies, planets

and stars of our universe were created.

As you can see, our sun is but one small star in a galaxy

such as this.

Now, a galaxy consists of not only the stars

that we talked about, but also great swirling masses of dust

and gas out of which the stars were formed

and to which they ultimately return. But now,

let's go back to the collapsed stars or the neutron stars,

quasars or black holes as we continue with this series,

you'll learn many things about these various stars...

Hi. - Hello.

I'm Dr. J. R. Vance from NASA.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here, Doctor. I'm Jenny Langer.

Nice to meet you. I have an appointment with your father.

Oh, no, no, he passed away in 1952.

Oh, I'm so sorry, then the appointment

must be with your husband. - Not married.

- I'm not sorry. - Ha.

Uh, then it's probably with your brother.

No, my brother's an interior decorator in Oshkosh.

You see, Dr. Vance, I'm afraid your appointment is with me.

I'm Dr. Jenny Langer.

Oh? - And we have some very

important business to discuss.

Yes, we do.

Ever been here before? - No, but it's beautiful,

the trees, the green foliage. - Mm-hmm.

You know, I'm very fond of plants.

Oh? - You know what we have

at NASA? - No, what?

Green tile and chrome. - Ha ha ha.

You don't look the type.

Well, Doctor, you want to clue me in?

I'd certainly like to. You see, it was after the lecture

last night, Mr. Vance, that I, I suddenly discovered there

were many peculiar things happening.

Yeah, like the gamma ray shower, - Uh-huh.

The aurora and the barometer dropping like Wall Street.

Exactly and that's when I made those urgent calls to NASA.

Frankly speaking, I'm very concerned.

Well, frankly speaking, Doctor, so is the

United States Government.

I'm still measuring an x-ray shower from the ground level

at a magnitude never before measured on earth

except in nuclear explosions.

Well, Doctor, it could be an abortive strike from a...

unfriendly power.

Oh, come on! You don't think a missile landed here.

Well, that's one possibility, yes.

It could have been a falling object like a meteorite,

not a missile.

Doctor, a meteorite would have made a tremendous

explosion. - Uh-huh.

Well, maybe it was an explosion.

Hello, Doctor. - Anything new?

Nothing. - Uh, Mary, this is Mr. Vance

from NASA, Mary Johnson. - Hello, Mary.

Doctor, you're water's, uh,bomng.

Mary must have forgotten it. Would you like some tea?

Tea? Heh, that's not my brand.

Oh, here are the reports from last night.

Now, let's see what happens today.

Mm-hmm. - And over here.

Oh... look at this. - Wow!

Radiation level's still high. - Um-hmm.

Whatever landed hasn't gone away.

You know, Doctor, I think I will have that tea.

Ha ha, okay.

I told you there was nothin' out here. See, there's nothin'.

Yeah. So, why are you carrying your, your gun?

Aw, shut up!

My father always said tryin' to teach you to run a farm

was like tryin' to teach an ox to use a typewriter.

Ever since you've been runnin' the place,

everything's gone wrong.

Umph, I...

Now, watch.

See.

I just don't understand it.

Those radiation levels are far too lethal.

Anyone anywhere near the initial impact point

would be in great danger.

What would be the safest way to find the exact point of impact?

Maybe we could use a helicopter.

No, no, be too dangerous. - But...

Doctor, we have already lost one airplane crew.

I didn't know that.

Well, back to the tea. - Back to the tea.

There's another one.

I can't tell what kinda critter coulda done that.

Eight dead cows and a calf.

You realize what this is gonna cost us?

It ain't gonna cost us nothin'.

Nlne dead animals ain't gonna cost us nothin'?

You're so dumb, you wouldn't know rabbit turds

from Rice Krispies.

I'll butcher up the meat like I always do and I'll sell it

to Dutch's Cafe.

You don't even know what killed those cows.

There might be somethin' horrible wrong with the meat.

Well, that's Dutch's lookout, not mine.

I've never seen so much fouled up data in my life.

It's against every known law of physics.

Well, we've tried to brainstorm it.

And it just won't brainstorm. - Right.

What are we gonna do? - I don't know.

Doctor. - Hmm?

Do you have a geiger counter? - Yeah, in the other office.

Good, let's see if your local sheriff will support us.

Sheriff Jones, ha ha ha, our jolly red giant?

I know just where he is. Let's go.

You're going to love him.

You know he believes in Velik0vsky's Theory,

that the moon came out of the Pacific Ocean.

So do I.

Hey, there's another one.

That's thirteen head, Dutch isn't gonna want that much meat.

So, I'll freeze some of it up and then sell it to him later.

Hey, look at this.

I've never seen a rock like that around here.

There's another one.

It's really weird.

Wow, look at that.

I told you something landed here last night.

Wonder what they are?

You know you can't tell from the outside.

We better bust one open.

And good morning to you all.

Morning.

Hey, Helga, you're lookin' bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

You must've had some kind of a heavy date last night, huh?

You better believe it. - One of the loggers?

That's my secret. - Ha ha ha...

Well, Dutch, you got that limburger cheese smile

on your face again this morning. Have trouble last night?

Yeah. - One of the loggers?

What does that mean? - I don't know,

I've got trouble myself. Seemed like everyone was calling

up with some cockamamie little thing, a car wouldn't start,

the radio wouldn't work. And the preacher man, he kept everybody

awake last night.

When does that gospel monger go on?

I don't know, but I'll tell ya, he may work for God,

but he sure hollers like the devil. Ha ha ha...

Helga, ha ha ha.

Breakfast is ready. - Oh, well, thank you.

Ooh, prunes. Ha ha.

Nope, it's not gonna work. Go get me a hammer.

Not that one, the big one.

And a chisel.

Oh.

Git it yourself.

You never were any good with a tool.

Hey, look!

It split.

They look like diamonds.

I don know.

May not be hard enough to be a diamond.

Don't hit it, no, no! Diamonds are supposed to cut glass.

That's right.

Look at that! - Damn!

Hello.

Oh, hi, Dr. Langer.

How are you this morning? - Fine.

Won't you join me, please? - Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

This your brother from Oshkosh?

No, this is Dr. Vance from NASA.

Hello, Sheriff. - NASA,

the National Aeronautics Space Administration?

That Nassau? - Um, yes, but it's NASA,

Houston, Texas. - Sheriff, we have to talk

to you about last night's disturbances.

Say no more, I'll get that preacher man to tone

it down tonight. - No, no, I don't mean

that disturbance. - Oh, no?

Pardon me, Doctor.

One of our local spiders, ha ha ha.

Uh, hey, what's that gizmo?

Uh, it's a geiger counter.

A geiger counter! We don't have any geigers around here,

never did have in these parts. - Uh, no, Sheriff, you

misunderstand me. See, Dr. Geiger invented this to count

the nuclear... - Oh, Vance, Vance,

I have a feeling the Sheriff's putting you on.

I'm sure he's taken physics. - Oh, I used to take physics,

but now I find that prunes do the better job for me.

We'll be rich to heaven, ha ha ha. We're gonna be rich.

What do you mean "we?"

This farm is mine and everything that's on it is mine.

You know, nobody ever found diamonds around here before.

Bet think they came out of that weird fireball thing last night.

I'll take these into cousin Billy at the rock shop.

He can tell me just exactly what they're worth.

But don't, don't you tell cousin Billy where you found 'em.

That'll be our secret.

Oh, don't look at me like that, Dan.

You and are going to be rich.

Hey, listen, I never meant any of those nasty things

I used to say to you, I was, I was just teasing.

Honest. Everything can be wonderful again,

just like it was before the baby died.

Knock it off, Ev. We don't even know if the diamonds are real.

Hi, Dr, Langer. Morning, Sheriff.

Morning. - Hello, dear.

May I join you? - Please.

Thank you. - This is Dave Perkins,

his father runs the local newspaper.

Hello, Dave, nice to see you. - Nice to meet you.

Dr. Vance from NASA.

Nassau,huh? - NASA, Houston.

Oh. What brings you here? Anything I can publish

in the paper? - Oh, well...

That's classified.

Well, I'll put it in the classified section.

Ha ha ha. Well, that's safe enough, nobody reads your ads anyway.

Ha ha ha...

Oh, Dave, uh, could I speak to you for a moment?

Sure, Dr. Vance. Excuse us.

Excuse us for a moment.

Is he always that serious? - Well, he has something

to be serious about at this time.

You know, I wonder if what happened to Terry and I

last night had something to do with what you're talking about?

What? - What happened to you

and Terry? - Well, we were parked

by the junkyard, the lights went... they went dead,

the radio wouldn't work and the engine wouldn't start.

A wind came up and started... I don't know, everything

just went wrong.

You're hittin' the booze again, huh?

Leave me alone, I feel terrible.

This place is full of spiders.

Yeah, I know, little pink ones. - No, no, big, big, black,

hairy ones with furry legs - Aha. Lay off the booze, Ev,

and they'll go away.

Hello, Sheriff's Office.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Cooper. How are you?

Missing?

When'd you see him last?

You haven't seen him since last night?

Well, I'll be glad to... drive out and take a look for him.

What color is his motorcycle?

Come on, dear, please stop worrying. I'm sure he'll turn

up safe and sound.

Yes, I'll get in touch with you.

Right, bye.

What's the matter with you?

You look like you could use a drink.

I found another body.

Another cow? - No, a human body.

A Person?

But it was chewed up worse than them cattle.

We have to call the Sheriff.

Are you out of your mind? Now, I buried that body

and I hid the motorcycle. No one will ever know.

You hid it? - We can't let that sheriff

come nosin' around here. What if he finds the diamonds?

And... and all that grass we're growing.

Well, you sound like you've been smokin' the stuff yourself.

EW, Oh!

And every creeping thing, that creepeth upon the earth,

shall be an abomination.

Only the pure of heart shall be spared.

Oh, it's you. - I told you I could

come again tonight. - How'd you swing it, honey?

Well, I told the lush that I had to come in and see my cousin

about some hot rocks. - Ha ha ha...

Oh, oh!

Hey, you forgot something.

No, I, I got it on. - Your hot rocks.

Oh, thank you.

I always give you a big tip.

Oh, thank you, darling.

Ah, cousin Dan. - Cousin Billy.

What brings you to town?

Hey, how's that hot little tomato you're raisin'

out there, huh? Yeah, Terry's way overripe for pickin',

you know? - Oh, Terry's turnin' bad,

I can't control her anymore.

Oh well, she needs a gentle hand, like mine.

Never mind about that now. Here, I got somethin' I want

to show you. Wha-what is that?

That, that's a geode... that's not from around here.

You must've found that down south some place, huh?

Uh, take a look at these. Just how good are these

diamonds here?

Now, just between you and me... - Yeah, yeah.

Ha ha ha...

Sorry. They're... industrial quality... yeah.

And the carbon content isn't nearly as high as a...

a real diamond... a ring-type diamond.

Come on, how, how much are they worth?

Well, let's just say if you had a bucket full of these,

a barrel full of these, yeah, you might be rich.

Where'd you find these?

Let's, uh, just say they, uh, fell outta the sky.

Ha ha...

What's going on now?

Those satellite reports you asked Paul Rider to send.

Great.

Here.

Huh, latitude 45 degrees, 21 minutes west.

Correction, north.

Longitude 88 degrees, 42 minutes west. That's more

than a couple of square miles. - I know, yeah.

Can't we pinpoint it closer than that?

Not from Telcom. I'm afraid you're going to have to use

a helicopter. - Okay.

Get Paul Rider, please.

Oh, Where the hell is Ev?

I don't know.

Damn, Ev is messy. Doesn't even clean.

Look at this here, cobwebs all over everywhere.

Whole goddamn house is filthy dirty.

Yeah well, Ev never was known for her cleanliness.

Least my room is nice and tidy.

Maybe I should of married you instead of her.

I was eleven years old.

Well, you're, uh, not any eleven now.

Yeah, now I'm 35-24-35.

Ah, listen Terry, uh, I could,

uh, do things for you, if you know what I mean.

You never did anything for Ev, except drive her to drink.

Why don't you face it, you're just a big, fat failure.

Not anymore. - Bull.

So, that, uh, rich Perkins punk, has he ever given you

a diamond? - You know he hasn't.

This diamond... is yours, if you treat me... nice.

Uaughs)

You think you're gonna fool me with that phony rhinestone?

That is real enough. All you have to do is ask

cousin Billy at the rock shop.

Where would you get a real diamond?

Oh, I... dug it up somewhere.

Hello.

Hi, Sheriff. - Hi, Terry. ls Dan to home?

Dan.

Hi, Dan.

I'm checking out a missing person's report, cause

Mrs. Cooper asked me to find her husband and his motorcycle.

Now, she says he goes by here a lot and he's been missing

for a day and a half. Have you seen a motorcycle around here?

Nope.

Terry, you and Dave seen or heard a motorcycle?

Uh-uh.

How about Ev? - Drunk as a skunk.

Where is she? - I don't know...

and I don't care.

Well, if either of you two see or remember anything,

give me a jingle, will ya?

Ha ha ha... Boy, that chopper makes nearly as much noise

as that preacher man. Ha ha ha.

I've located a radioactive source, extremely high intensity

Can you pinpoint it? - I'm over Bundy Road

and Copper Place.

That's near the Kester place.

What does it look like? - The whole pasture down there

is distorted. Do you read me? It's like I'm looking through on

the bottom of a pop bottle. I mean it's blurred and twisted.

Get a picture of it. - Uh, get a picture of it

and rush it to the lab, huh? - Okay, will do.

It fits. Space warp all right.

This must be the only energy photogram of it's kind.

Well, what's a space warp?

Well, Dave, a space warp is a gravitational pull, so intense,

that it makes a black hole in space.

There's only one thing I know of that could cause

a warp like this. - A miniature black hole.

Uh huh. - Could it happen?

Well, with a billion black holes in our galaxy,

it's a wonder it hasn't happened before.

Well, Dr. Vance, Dr. Langer, I've got to be going. Thank you.

Bye, Dave.

Well, everything fits. Einstein's general theory

of relativity. - Mm hmm.

If a dead star collapsed all it's masses, the star

would gradually shrink to a point and...

disappear into another universe. - Right, a parallel universe

with a door back and forth. - That sucks everything up.

And throws everything out.

This may be our problem. Where is this, uh-uh, Kester farm?

Oh, it's, uh, it's somewhere in the Harrison Hills area,

right in here.

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

then they had swallowed us up quick.

Hallelujah! - Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! - Hallelujah!

Can I get off early tonight? - Not before 9:00. Why?

I have an aunt coming in from Barbasota.

Well, it's the same aunt as last night.

Tell her she left a hickey on your neck.

Hey, Dutch, what're we going to do about those damn spiders?

I'm going to try to get the preacher to exorcise them.

They're getting enough exercise akeady.

Oh, boy.

Hi, Terry. - What are you doing here?

Where's, uh, cousin Dan? - He's not here and neither

is Ev. - Pickup truck's still outside.

Well, maybe, but they're both gone.

Oh, well, that's all right, I guess. You can probably

help me out, hmm? - Yeah and, uh,

maybe, you can, uh, help me.

Is this a real diamond?

Naw, it's a fake. Ah, I'll give you five bucks for it.

I can always sell it to some dumb tourist.

I don't believe you. You didn't even look at it.

Ok... I'll give ya... $20, hmm?

And only because you're my cousin.

You're Dan's cousin. You're no relation of mine.

Then we can, uh, have relations, hmm?

Billy, cut it out. - Well, if we're not blood kin,

then let's be, uh, kissing cousins, huh?

Billy, why don't you do what I just did?

Yeah? - Go home and take a cold shower

Uh, $40.

Did you hear the news? Billy Kestefis carjust blew up.

He's dead? - Yeah, he sure is,

deader than a doornail. You know Dave, a lot of strange things

are happening around here. - Yeah, I know, Dutch.

Can I use your phone?

Sure, use my private one in back.

Thanks, Dutch. - Okay.

This should be the area, Vance.

I don't see anything.

No count here.

Well, there has to be something. - Well, it's a normal count.

Nothing dangerous.

The Kester phone is dead.

Listen, I think I'm going to go on out there.

Okay. - Bye.

Bob, Carl, Jack, Peter, listen!

Vance, what was that?

I didn't hear anything.

That sounded like a high-powered rifle.

This isn't hunting season.

Come on, let's get out of here.

(gunshon

Oh... Oh!

Oh, God!

Hurry, Vance.

It's all right.

Here, Doctor. - Thank you.

Yeah, well, all hell's broken loose. It's going to be hard

to keep the lid on now. - Yeah, we know all about it,

Sheriff. May I have another one, please?

Yeah, sure. My stomach is doing flip-flops.

We just brought back what was left of Joe Cooper.

Uh, Sheriff, if your stomach can handle it...

we've got a 50 foot spider out there on the loose.

Fifty foot spider! - Fifty feet.

You mean that's what got Joe Cooper?

Looks like our black hole has turned into an open doorway

from hell.

And we're gonna have to find a way to close it.

God knows how many monsters may come through.

And how many have already come through.

Doctor, please... what are these gizmos. I found them

near the corpse.

You found them where? - Near the corpse.

Uh, Sheriff, do you mind if we take these and, uh, run some

tests of them. - No, please do.

Oh, thank you. Do you have a flare gun we could use?

Yes, you can pick one up at the desk sergeant. He's got a

couple of flares out there. - Thank you.

Thank you, Sheriff. - Right.

We'll keep in touch. - Thank you.

Hello. Yes, this is the sheriff.

Oh, Davey, I... didn't recognize your voice. What is it?

Is Terry all right?

Well, have Doc Oliphant check her, will you?

And keep me filled in on everything, please.

Thanks, Davey.

Fifty foot spider?!

Vance, I'm sorry to take so long, but the lab said it will

a full two hours to get a report on these.

The only thing they said was they'd never seen

anything like them.

Could sure crack 'em open.

We don't have time for that. First things first.

We've gotta find someway to get out there

and kill that monster. - Oh, how you gonna kill

a monster like this, an alien energy pattern?

We haven't even found even found the impact area

of the black hole. - Mm hmm, and that's undoubtedly

where the spider's coming from. - Right. The energy pattern has

to feed off of the gravitational field of the black hole.

Vance, could we soak up the energy?

We could feed it so much extra mass we could choke it.

We can shower it with neutrons.

Neutron initiator.

It just might work.

What's up? - I want you to fly me

a Caltech Neutron Initiator right away.

Well, that's a pretty stiff order.

And I mean right away, buddy!

I think there's one in Madison. - Tell them to load it with a

six hundred gram charge and set the pattern at 360 degrees.

My chopper will pick it up at the airport.

All right. - If it doesn't work,

then, old buddy, we got company for dinner.

Three hours. Good-bye.

Well, it sounds like just the ticket.

Um, tell me, how does one of those gizmos work?

Yeah, sure.

Um, all right. Thanks, Vance.

I don't have to tell ya, you know what happened

to the Kesters. Now, the spider's nest is somewhere

on the Kester's ranch. We all have guns. When we leave

here, we're gonna pick up all the relatives, friends,

neighbors, anybody we can find. And we're going to go out to the

Kester's farm and we're going to destroy that spider!

So, come on, let's go.

Hey. Hey, fellas, wait a minute. Fellas, get around me.

Now, like I said inside, I want each of you to go

in different directions and I want you to get your friends,

relatives, anybody you can.

Dutch, what's goin' on?

All right, everybody just hold it. Listen to me.

Listen, Dutch, you're a troublemaker. I'm trying

to tell you to knock it off. Now, everybody go home.

We're not going to get it like this. Just knock it off!

Aw, you knock it off. All right, let's go. Come on.

Let's go! Get in.

What's goin' on here? Get outta here, go on home.

All right, everybody just... everybody just...

Hello. Yeah, this is the sheriff.

What?

In Gleason.

Are you sure they're headed this way?

Okay!

Hello, operator, give me the National Guard

Headquarters in Madison.

All right, now that we found it, now that we found it,

once you seal off the hole, what's going to happen

to the spiders? - That's their energy pattern.

That's their lifeline and once we seal that off, they're gone.

But, what if the initiator doesn't work? There's going

to be an army of those spiders crawling around, growing

and multiplying.

Well, Jenny, it's already happening.

Vance!

Come here.

Lord knows how many of those things are around here.

Just take it easy.

Oh, look at this stuff. Ugh!, Agh! Oh!

What's the matter, what'd you do?

Ooooh! - Oh, my God!

God, another one. - Let's get out of here.

Let's get back to the jeep. - Yes!

How will I ever...

Patch me through to the Sheriff.

Hello.

Yeah, Vance.

The spiders are all over at Gleason,

just a few miles away.

Yes, I've called for the National Guard, but the mobs

are beginning to gather and they're getting out of hand.

Look, get somebody out here, I just found another body

or what's left of one.

And for God's sake, keep that mob away from here!

All right, you know why we're all here, you're gonna know

we're gonna destroy that spider!

And you've all got your guns, they're all loaded.

Right, right. - Now, no women!

No, no! - Boo!

Come on now, Dutch, I want ya to get out of here, all of you.

I got a man from NASA and he knows what he's doing.

Gleason's a disaster area.

The same thing'll happen to this town. We'll handle it ourselves.

Come on!

The town got hit by the monster.

The crowd's getting out of hand, I can't control 'em.

They're hellbent on destroying that beast.

Vance, did you ever see the movie "Jaws?"

Well, it makes that shark look like a goldfish.

I know, I know. But, try to keep them there as long as you can.

We're setting up the lights around here and the bomb's

on it's way. And try to keep the spider there.

We can't do anything with the spider. Bullets don't hurt it.

The only thing I've got to stop it here with is a traffic light.

Sheriff, at least try.

This is the sheriff, get on the emergency unit.

I'm down here all by myself.

Call the National Guard back, tell them we need

some heavy equipment, guns, ammo, anything.

And by one sign, you can know that the end of the world is

near, Luke Chapter 21, Verse 10 and 11.

Nations shall rise up against nations and kingdom

against kingdom. And great earthquakes shall

be in diverse places and famines and pestilences.

And fearful sights and great signs shall there be from Heaven

The spider is retreating, heading out of town.

We've got a lot of people hurt here.

Clear the street, the spider's gone, spider's gone.

Get out of here.

You know that, that big one is like mother queen bee.

Yes, and she's activated all the spiders in this whole area.

Yeah, you think the smaller ones will grow to be giants?

Well, it could be, unless that neutron gadget works.

I wish that chopper'd get here.

Here comes somebody now.

Now what?

Vance! - Clyde.

That big one, I just saw it up on the highway.

It's cuttin' through the woods and it's headin' this direction.

There goes the chopper now.

Can you patch me through? - Sure, Vance, this way.

Caine, this is Vance. Caine this is Vance. Use your spotlight

as a target and drop the gadget.

Want me to land and give you the trigger?

Hell, no! Now look, I'm gonna fire a flare

and you pull the trigger. - Okay.

Follow us, come on.

Jenny, - Yes

I forgot the flares.

They're in the briefcase, would you get 'em?

I'll get them.

We've got company.

We've gotta keep her outta that black hole til we make the drop.

Okay, I'm gonna try. - Good boy.

Ahhh! Ohhh! Oh!

Jenny, hurry with the flare gun, they're coming back.

Ooh!

Get back, you...

Believe it, it's as big as a house.

Vance! Vance! - What happened?

Spiders came out of the briefcase. They're coming

from the geodes. - The what?

Geodes! - Gimme this, come on.

Get over there and take cover.

All right.

Hey, come on. Everyone of you get out of there.

Hurry up, come on.

Get down!

Is it sealed? ls it sealed? - Yeah, it's sealed.

Oh, God. This is... can it happen again?

I don't know.

Oh! - I don't know.

When pharaoh refused the

children of Israel their right to exist, the heavens opened

up and deluged the land with flies, frogs,

lice and locusts.

It happened before and it will happen again.
