1
00:01:45,952 --> 00:01:48,819
I knew this one was more than just
the biggest story of my life.

2
00:01:48,889 --> 00:01:51,949
It was the biggest story in the lives
of everyone on this planet.

3
00:01:52,025 --> 00:01:54,789
I fought for the story,
fought harder than ever before,

4
00:01:54,861 --> 00:01:58,524
because I knew it was more
than news-much more.

5
00:01:58,598 --> 00:02:02,329
I felt people should know about it, so they
could be prepared when it happened again.

6
00:02:02,402 --> 00:02:05,303
If it's possible to be prepared
for something like this.

7
00:02:07,107 --> 00:02:10,133
It began fairly quietly.
Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago.

8
00:02:10,210 --> 00:02:12,178
September 2, 5:30 a. m.

9
00:02:12,245 --> 00:02:16,443
Shanka, the zoo's prize cheetah,
was expecting her morning feeding.

10
00:02:16,516 --> 00:02:18,780
It never came.

11
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,261
It started for me on a day which
is supposed to be one of my happiest.

12
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:35,199
The day of the first game of the first
World Series with the Cubs in 29 years.

13
00:02:35,268 --> 00:02:37,736
The day began badly.

14
00:02:37,804 --> 00:02:40,329
As soon as Updyke took over
as temporary sports editor,

15
00:02:40,407 --> 00:02:44,309
he began memorizing everything-
batting averages, bases stolen-

16
00:02:44,377 --> 00:02:47,278
He could tell you more about
Hank Aaron and Sandy Koufax...

17
00:02:47,347 --> 00:02:49,440
than you would want to know.

18
00:02:49,516 --> 00:02:51,848
But he forgot other things.

19
00:02:51,918 --> 00:02:53,886
Ron, where are my tickets?
What tickets?

20
00:02:53,954 --> 00:02:56,445
Well, the tickets you promised me
for the World Series.

21
00:02:56,523 --> 00:02:59,185
Well, I don't remember that.
You don't remember that?

22
00:02:59,259 --> 00:03:01,250
Well, then let me
refresh your memory.

23
00:03:01,328 --> 00:03:05,230
Two short weeks ago, after
your review of the, uh, roller derby,

24
00:03:05,298 --> 00:03:09,029
a hand was clutched around your throat,
attached to one Snuffy Patechenko,

25
00:03:09,102 --> 00:03:11,036
lead jammer for the Atlanta Amazons,

26
00:03:11,104 --> 00:03:16,337
207 pounds of furious,
frightening femininity.

27
00:03:16,409 --> 00:03:19,242
- All muscle, no fat.
- Who are you talkin' about?

28
00:03:19,312 --> 00:03:22,475
Snuffy Patechenko. She's a human being.
She would have responded to reason.

29
00:03:22,549 --> 00:03:26,280
You do not reason with 207 pounds...

30
00:03:26,353 --> 00:03:29,015
of outraged, feminine jammer!

31
00:03:29,089 --> 00:03:32,525
Your eyes were going glassy,
as she was cutting off your breath.

32
00:03:32,592 --> 00:03:36,028
I remember your review.
You called her "elephantine. "

33
00:03:36,096 --> 00:03:39,327
"Graceless. "
"A hippo on casters. "

34
00:03:39,399 --> 00:03:42,163
What a thing to say
about a person, you pig.

35
00:03:42,235 --> 00:03:44,829
She had broken someone's arm
the night before.

36
00:03:44,905 --> 00:03:47,396
And she was about to break
your neck- until I intervened.

37
00:03:47,474 --> 00:03:50,443
Telling her that you were
a bleeder, internally. Remember?

38
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:54,810
Hmm? Of course you do. As the color returned
to those rosy little cheeks of yours,

39
00:03:54,881 --> 00:04:00,717
you promised me one ticket
to the World Series.

40
00:04:00,787 --> 00:04:03,153
Oh, that explains why
I don't remember. Why?

41
00:04:03,223 --> 00:04:06,192
I was delirious.
Uptight, you give me those tickets,

42
00:04:06,259 --> 00:04:08,625
or I will pick up where
Snuffy Patechenko left off.

43
00:04:08,695 --> 00:04:11,220
I was only joking.
Of course I have your ticket.

44
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:17,295
And you call me uptight.
Thank you very much, Ron.

45
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:19,838
What was that? One
ticket to the ball game.

46
00:04:19,906 --> 00:04:22,170
Are you going? You bet your
life I'm going. You crazy?

47
00:04:22,242 --> 00:04:25,871
That's too bad. I guess I'll have to
find someone else to put on this thing.

48
00:04:25,946 --> 00:04:29,177
What thing? Oh, nothing. Just
this cheetah missing from the zoo.

49
00:04:29,249 --> 00:04:31,217
You go to the game.
It's all right.

50
00:04:31,284 --> 00:04:34,378
Certainly I'm going to the game.
Certainly.

51
00:04:34,454 --> 00:04:36,388
N- No, no.
That was yesterday's news.

52
00:04:36,456 --> 00:04:38,981
Besides, it was a, uh-
It was a panther.

53
00:04:39,059 --> 00:04:41,152
Oh, no. Yesterday a panther.
Today, a cheetah.

54
00:04:41,227 --> 00:04:45,061
What, are you-Are you saying that
two animals are missing in two days?

55
00:04:45,131 --> 00:04:47,099
Monique, are you going
to the game?

56
00:04:47,167 --> 00:04:49,431
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

57
00:04:49,502 --> 00:04:52,266
You mean, no report on it?
No ransom notes? No. No.

58
00:04:52,339 --> 00:04:54,864
No hysterical old ladies
on the horn to the cops?

59
00:04:54,941 --> 00:04:58,069
- Funny, isn't it?
- Yeah, it is.

60
00:04:58,144 --> 00:05:01,375
- Monique-
- Didn't they-

61
00:05:01,448 --> 00:05:04,542
- Didn't they have a couple of animals die there last week?
- Did they?

62
00:05:04,618 --> 00:05:08,452
Yeah. Mr. Vincenzo, I'd
be happy to go to the zoo.

63
00:05:08,521 --> 00:05:10,887
Well, I-
Okay.

64
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:14,188
But if that press bus
leaves without me-

65
00:05:15,195 --> 00:05:17,493
Agreed? You know the time
schedule. You got a watch.

66
00:05:17,564 --> 00:05:19,555
What do you want from me?

67
00:05:19,633 --> 00:05:22,466
Good-bye, Carl.
Get back to work.

68
00:05:22,535 --> 00:05:24,969
This is the day, fans,

69
00:05:25,038 --> 00:05:28,769
That Chicago has been awaiting
for 29 long years.

70
00:05:28,842 --> 00:05:33,836
After an amazing season, the Chicago Cubs have
clawed their way to the top of the National League.

71
00:05:33,913 --> 00:05:37,849
They've won the play-offs, and now, the first
game of the World Series. Post 5, priority.

72
00:05:37,917 --> 00:05:40,784
Post 5, priority.
201 in progress.

73
00:05:40,854 --> 00:05:45,223
Officer down. Raydyne Electronics,
Commerce and 24th Street.

74
00:05:45,291 --> 00:05:49,159
...to the rafters. Standing room only.
In a few minutes, we'll be talking-

75
00:05:49,229 --> 00:05:51,823
It came over the police band,
a Code 5 priority.

76
00:05:51,898 --> 00:05:55,766
Officer down. I caught the address
as static obliterated the broadcast.

77
00:05:55,835 --> 00:06:00,295
It was only a few minutes out of my way. The
zoo would still be there. So would the ball game.

78
00:06:00,373 --> 00:06:03,103
Top of the first inning,
and Juan Bosca of the Cubs-

79
00:06:07,747 --> 00:06:10,409
It's okay. I'm the press.
It's all right. I.N.S.

80
00:06:10,483 --> 00:06:13,043
Carl Kolchak. Go!

81
00:06:14,054 --> 00:06:17,285
Carter! Stegman!
Cover the rear!

82
00:06:17,357 --> 00:06:18,984
What's happening?
What's happening?

83
00:06:19,059 --> 00:06:20,617
Guy's been killed.
What?

84
00:06:20,694 --> 00:06:22,992
Somebody tripped the alarm.
Inside?

85
00:06:31,104 --> 00:06:34,005
Captain, what's goin'
on here? What happened?

86
00:06:34,074 --> 00:06:36,008
I don't know.
What's that?

87
00:07:31,765 --> 00:07:36,099
Wh-Wha-What do you-
What do you think happened?

88
00:07:36,169 --> 00:07:38,729
I don't know what happened.
Looks like to me...

89
00:07:38,805 --> 00:07:42,673
I'm gonna take some of that
overdue vacation time I got comin'.

90
00:07:42,742 --> 00:07:46,872
Wait a-What was in there? What
did I see in there? Was that steel?

91
00:07:46,946 --> 00:07:49,608
No. Lead.
Two tons of lead ingots.

92
00:07:49,682 --> 00:07:51,775
Lead ingots? But-

93
00:07:51,851 --> 00:07:54,649
Theyjust disappeared. I mean,
we saw it with our own eyes.

94
00:07:54,721 --> 00:07:56,882
It disappeared
right in front of us.

95
00:07:56,956 --> 00:07:59,925
If you know what's good for you,
you'll disappear too, Kolchak.

96
00:07:59,993 --> 00:08:02,120
Show him how, Crowley.
Go on. Now wait a minute!

97
00:08:02,195 --> 00:08:04,186
Get him outta here! Wait a
minute. Come on, you guys!

98
00:08:04,264 --> 00:08:07,700
Will you please leave off
the digits? Watch the camera.

99
00:08:07,767 --> 00:08:09,826
All right. Okay.

100
00:08:14,073 --> 00:08:16,268
All right. All right, you guys.
I'll be fine.

101
00:08:16,342 --> 00:08:19,834
I'm goin', I'm goin'. All right? Thanks
very much, fellas. You're very gentle.

102
00:08:19,913 --> 00:08:22,905
Curveball, taken outside, ball one.
Jefferson...

103
00:08:22,982 --> 00:08:26,213
steps out of the batter's box,
surveys the ballpark.

104
00:08:26,286 --> 00:08:28,516
He'd like to get ahold of one
and pull it out ofhere.

105
00:08:28,588 --> 00:08:31,352
Give Boston an early lead.
Bosca has his signs.

106
00:08:31,424 --> 00:08:35,827
Here's the windup,
and the pitch-

107
00:08:35,895 --> 00:08:38,455
Line drive and a great catch
by Ortega, the shortstop!

108
00:08:38,531 --> 00:08:41,329
He goes under,
one-hands the ball-

109
00:08:44,938 --> 00:08:48,374
First half-inning at one to nothing.
The Cubs are coming to bat.

110
00:08:52,078 --> 00:08:56,845
The Cubs are off to the same great start
as in their last series appearance in 1945.

111
00:08:56,916 --> 00:09:01,046
You recall, they beat the Tigers
in Game One of that '45 final.

112
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,113
Watch your language and turn off
the radio while you're on the phone.

113
00:09:05,191 --> 00:09:09,855
And remember, The Moze Kazan Show is for
you-your complaints and your opinions.

114
00:09:09,929 --> 00:09:12,489
Now, back to the beefline.

115
00:09:12,565 --> 00:09:14,556
My beef is with
the lousy Street Department,

116
00:09:14,634 --> 00:09:16,568
and the way
they screwed up my street.

117
00:09:16,636 --> 00:09:19,298
Mariposa Way-
... big man for the Cubs.

118
00:09:19,372 --> 00:09:22,273
Isn't a batter, but he had
a great season, hit. 297-

119
00:09:22,342 --> 00:09:25,834
When those clowns in the Street
Department repaved Mariposa,

120
00:09:25,912 --> 00:09:28,938
they dumped the leftover asphalt
right on my lawn.

121
00:09:29,015 --> 00:09:31,745
I got this terrible,
black gooey mess all over.

122
00:09:31,818 --> 00:09:33,979
It smells terrible.
I can't get rid of it.

123
00:09:34,053 --> 00:09:36,180
My grandfather fell in it.

124
00:09:36,256 --> 00:09:38,190
We're still tryin'to clean him.

125
00:09:38,258 --> 00:09:40,920
The dog ran through it,
through the house.

126
00:09:40,994 --> 00:09:46,489
The car. I wish you could see
it. It looks like tar, with lumps.

127
00:09:49,202 --> 00:09:52,365
Vincenzo's animal story
was still hanging over my head,

128
00:09:52,438 --> 00:09:55,635
and chances of seeing the game
were fading like lead ingots.

129
00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:58,506
Radio reception was so bad that
listening to the play-by-play...

130
00:09:58,578 --> 00:10:00,705
was nothing short of painful.

131
00:10:00,780 --> 00:10:04,341
But when all was said and done,
my problems were very minor...

132
00:10:04,417 --> 00:10:07,011
compared to the problems
they had at Lincoln Park Zoo.

133
00:10:07,086 --> 00:10:09,577
Very minor indeed.

134
00:10:32,612 --> 00:10:35,581
It's a viscid mass. Probably-
"Viscid?"

135
00:10:35,648 --> 00:10:37,582
Sticky.
Oh.

136
00:10:37,650 --> 00:10:39,641
Seems to have
a lot of acetone in it too.

137
00:10:39,719 --> 00:10:42,279
My guess is that they planned
to foul up the whole zoo with it,

138
00:10:42,355 --> 00:10:44,346
and then something
frightened them off. Who them?

139
00:10:44,424 --> 00:10:49,828
Vandals. Probably the same ones that
sprayed our baby elephant with gold paint.

140
00:10:49,896 --> 00:10:51,830
- Poor Zapata.
- The elephant?

141
00:10:51,898 --> 00:10:55,561
The keeper. Showed up the next morning
after a three-day binge.

142
00:10:55,635 --> 00:10:58,570
First thing he saw
was that elephant.

143
00:10:58,638 --> 00:11:00,572
Poor Zapata.
Uh-huh.

144
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,098
Didn't you have a leopard
die here yesterday? Hmm?

145
00:11:04,177 --> 00:11:07,772
Why?
Heart attack.

146
00:11:07,847 --> 00:11:11,180
What about the cheetah?
Heart attack.

147
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:13,184
Heart attack.

148
00:11:13,252 --> 00:11:17,245
Can I use your telephone?
Mm-hmm.

149
00:11:17,323 --> 00:11:21,157
What about the panda
last week? Heat attack.

150
00:11:21,227 --> 00:11:23,593
Heart attack.

151
00:11:23,663 --> 00:11:26,188
Yeah, hello. I'd like to speak to the
program director of the Moze Kazan Hour.

152
00:11:26,265 --> 00:11:28,199
Yeah, I'll wait.

153
00:11:28,267 --> 00:11:32,033
Listen, besides being stinky, just what is
- What is this gunk, anyway?

154
00:11:32,105 --> 00:11:34,665
- Who knows?
- Yeah. Hello?

155
00:11:34,741 --> 00:11:36,732
Yeah, you had a guy
on the show this afternoon...

156
00:11:36,809 --> 00:11:39,209
that was complaining about
the Street Department dumping...

157
00:11:39,278 --> 00:11:42,247
a whole, big pile of evil-smelling
asphalt on his front lawn.

158
00:11:42,315 --> 00:11:45,284
I'd like his name and address, please.
Uh, well-

159
00:11:45,351 --> 00:11:50,983
Well, he certainly was. L
- I heard him on the radio less than an hour ago.

160
00:11:51,057 --> 00:11:53,617
Yeah, you cut him off
right in mid-sentence.

161
00:11:53,693 --> 00:11:57,561
Well, I agree. You should know who
you have on your show. Yes, thank-

162
00:12:00,266 --> 00:12:02,496
Where'd this stuff come from?

163
00:12:02,568 --> 00:12:05,696
Who cares?
I care.

164
00:12:07,540 --> 00:12:09,474
Well, City Hall.

165
00:12:09,542 --> 00:12:11,772
Yes, I'd like to speak to your
Street Department, please.

166
00:12:11,844 --> 00:12:13,971
About some asphalt paving that
was done on Mariposa Way.

167
00:12:14,047 --> 00:12:16,572
Thank you. Can I peek?

168
00:12:19,018 --> 00:12:21,782
Yeah, hello? Uh-huh.
No record?

169
00:12:21,854 --> 00:12:26,314
What? You must be mistaken. I just heard
the man speak about it on the radio.

170
00:12:26,392 --> 00:12:28,860
Mariposa Way.

171
00:12:31,898 --> 00:12:34,833
I don't know where we're gonna get another panda.
They come from Tibet. The Commies have 'em all.

172
00:12:34,901 --> 00:12:37,961
- The Commies.
- Most people think the panda's a bear.

173
00:12:38,037 --> 00:12:42,440
- Actually, it's a raccoon.
- A raccoon. With a heart attack?

174
00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:47,673
- Mm-hmm. - Maybe you fed
it too much cholesterol.

175
00:13:02,161 --> 00:13:04,129
Waitin'for the stretch.
The over-the-shoulder look.

176
00:13:04,197 --> 00:13:06,131
And here comes the pitch
to Wachowski.

177
00:13:06,199 --> 00:13:08,133
He swings.
It's a ground ball to short.

178
00:13:16,509 --> 00:13:18,500
Stinks, don't it?

179
00:13:18,578 --> 00:13:21,046
Have you ever seen
anything like this?

180
00:13:21,114 --> 00:13:25,915
Yeah, yeah. It really does. Carl Kolchak
of the I.N.S., Independent News Service.

181
00:13:25,985 --> 00:13:28,749
Mr. Brindle, I heard you on the radio.
Boy, you sure got some fast action here.

182
00:13:28,821 --> 00:13:32,348
Action? One hour
after I make the phone call,

183
00:13:32,425 --> 00:13:34,757
four trucks pull here,
from the Street Department?

184
00:13:34,827 --> 00:13:36,852
What a bunch of idiots.

185
00:13:36,929 --> 00:13:41,332
First they start with these shovels. Then they
try this chemical that turns the whole lawn yellow.

186
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,200
Then they try these flamethrowers
- the things that they use to burn weeds down with?

187
00:13:45,271 --> 00:13:47,899
Look what they did. They burned the
hedge, the tree. They almost got the house.

188
00:13:47,974 --> 00:13:50,374
Oh, do you mind?
Oh, no. Please.

189
00:13:50,443 --> 00:13:52,638
Thanks. Did they explain
how it got here?

190
00:13:52,712 --> 00:13:57,706
No. They denied everything. I tell you. This
whole city is going right down the toilet.

191
00:13:57,783 --> 00:14:01,116
And it's not just the Street
Department. It's everybody.

192
00:14:01,187 --> 00:14:04,350
Police included. Did you know that
the crime rate in this neighborhood...

193
00:14:04,423 --> 00:14:06,721
has gone straight up? Would you
hold that right there, please?

194
00:14:06,792 --> 00:14:08,726
Thank you. Yes. That's very good.
Can I show you something?

195
00:14:08,794 --> 00:14:10,728
Look, come here.

196
00:14:10,796 --> 00:14:12,730
You see the busted
window up there? Yeah.

197
00:14:12,798 --> 00:14:15,631
Henry! My neighbor,
Henry Ansgaroni.

198
00:14:15,701 --> 00:14:18,727
Last night he was sitting listening
to records with earphones on?

199
00:14:18,804 --> 00:14:21,705
Someone comes along,
kicks out the window,

200
00:14:21,774 --> 00:14:24,971
and rips out his whole stereo system
while he's listening.

201
00:14:25,044 --> 00:14:28,013
Do you mean, right off the porch
there? Almost tore his head off.

202
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,207
Well, didn't he call the police?
I called the police.

203
00:14:30,283 --> 00:14:34,014
Know what they found? The cabinet and the
chassis in a culvert in the back of the house.

204
00:14:34,086 --> 00:14:37,419
But they never found the electronic guts.
Mrs. Fusco lives in the house over there?

205
00:14:37,490 --> 00:14:39,890
Yeah. Someone killed
five of her cats.

206
00:14:39,959 --> 00:14:42,860
Still leaves her with a dozen or so,
because she's one of those kind.

207
00:14:42,929 --> 00:14:45,921
Oh, boy, does that house smell.
Almost as bad as all this gop.

208
00:14:45,998 --> 00:14:49,161
M- Mr. Ara-what's-
Ansgaroni.

209
00:14:49,235 --> 00:14:54,138
Henry. Henry! Henry. Did
he see who took his stereo?

210
00:14:54,207 --> 00:14:58,667
The only thing he saw was stars when
they yanked the earphones off his skull.

211
00:14:58,744 --> 00:15:01,838
Yeah. What time was that?
Last night. I have to go.

212
00:15:01,914 --> 00:15:04,382
Uh-

213
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:23,198
Here he comes. Here's
the run for the plate. He slides-

214
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:27,137
He's in there, and the Red Sox
have the first run of the ball game.

215
00:15:27,206 --> 00:15:30,369
The score, the Red Sox, 1,
the Cubs, nothing.

216
00:15:40,853 --> 00:15:43,583
Keeter Hudson, out on parole
and out of money,

217
00:15:43,656 --> 00:15:48,923
endangered the first condition
in an attempt to improve the second.

218
00:15:48,995 --> 00:15:51,020
My purse!

219
00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:25,820
Keeter Hudson, wealthy
beyond his dreams, a happy man.

220
00:16:25,898 --> 00:16:29,129
Keeter didn't know that his parole
was about to be canceled.

221
00:16:37,677 --> 00:16:41,169
Here in the seventh inning,
the Cubs are up. They still trail 1-0,

222
00:16:41,247 --> 00:16:44,910
and that run scored by Boston is growing
taller and taller on the scoreboard.

223
00:16:44,984 --> 00:16:48,010
...pumpin'the ball by
the Chicago hitters.

224
00:16:50,056 --> 00:16:52,115
Hi there!

225
00:16:52,191 --> 00:16:55,285
Boy, have I got
a surprise for you.

226
00:16:55,361 --> 00:16:58,524
Why, you look
absolutely radiant!

227
00:16:58,597 --> 00:17:01,657
There's only one thing that puts that
kind of sparkle into a woman's eyes.

228
00:17:01,734 --> 00:17:04,362
Baloney. Yeah, well,
some call it that.

229
00:17:04,437 --> 00:17:07,895
Did you have a nice lunch?
A few drinks ahead of time, hmm?

230
00:17:07,973 --> 00:17:10,464
Don't I wish. I been cooped up here
all day with specimens.

231
00:17:10,543 --> 00:17:12,943
As you know.
Yeah. Like this?

232
00:17:14,213 --> 00:17:16,511
Now, I have a suspicion
that this...

233
00:17:16,582 --> 00:17:21,417
is just exactly like that gunk
that you picked up here at the zoo.

234
00:17:21,487 --> 00:17:25,389
So? So guess where I found it?
On a lawn, halfway across town.

235
00:17:25,458 --> 00:17:30,020
Would you like to do a survey
and an analysis of this for me?

236
00:17:30,096 --> 00:17:34,396
I've got things to do. Lots of'em. Oh,
now. Come on, now. Now, Doc Winestock. Bess.

237
00:17:34,467 --> 00:17:36,401
It is Bess, isn't it?
Uh-huh.

238
00:17:36,469 --> 00:17:41,566
Uh, Bess, all you have to do is just put a little
specimen of this in a test tube and shake it up,

239
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,269
add some chemicals, put it on a slide, stick
it under your scope, and tell me what's in it.

240
00:17:45,344 --> 00:17:47,539
Now, is that asking too much?

241
00:17:47,613 --> 00:17:50,810
Back to the mound, he feeds it over to
Weltzer, and that's it for the Red Sox.

242
00:17:50,883 --> 00:17:55,377
After seven and a half, it remains,
Boston 1, the Cubs, nothing.

243
00:17:55,454 --> 00:17:59,550
What's the matter? Aren't you a Cub
fan? One of the absolute staunchest.

244
00:17:59,625 --> 00:18:01,786
If I hurry up, I'll be able
to catch the last few innings.

245
00:18:01,861 --> 00:18:04,091
- I've got a box seat.
- Hurry.

246
00:18:04,163 --> 00:18:09,658
As a matter of fact, I might be able to
get two box seats for tomorrow's game.

247
00:18:09,735 --> 00:18:12,465
If I do the analysis for you,

248
00:18:12,538 --> 00:18:15,473
you're gonna run off
and print some crazy story.

249
00:18:15,541 --> 00:18:18,977
So what? What do you care?
Unless you've been told not to.

250
00:18:20,913 --> 00:18:22,847
It doesn't matter
who does the analysis,

251
00:18:22,915 --> 00:18:26,783
I'm still gonna write my story.
And draw my own conclusions.

252
00:18:26,852 --> 00:18:31,789
However, if you do the survey,
you can guide me-

253
00:18:31,857 --> 00:18:34,587
In what I write. Hmm?

254
00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:36,787
Mm, no. Absolutely no.

255
00:18:36,862 --> 00:18:39,763
Hmm?

256
00:18:39,832 --> 00:18:42,767
All right. Look.
It's obvious.

257
00:18:42,835 --> 00:18:44,860
It's the same as what we found.

258
00:18:44,937 --> 00:18:49,101
- What's in it?
- Hydrochloric acid. Acetone.

259
00:18:49,175 --> 00:18:52,804
- Hydrochloric acid? Why?
- Hydrochloric acid is a digestive juice.

260
00:18:52,878 --> 00:18:57,178
- And acetone?
- And bone marrow.

261
00:18:57,249 --> 00:19:01,345
Bone marrow?
Animal or human?

262
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:04,912
Animal. All of our animals
who were killed here...

263
00:19:04,990 --> 00:19:08,153
showed puncture marks
at the major bone joints.

264
00:19:08,227 --> 00:19:13,426
And every last dram of marrow
had been extracted from their bones.

265
00:19:13,499 --> 00:19:15,490
Hydrochloric-

266
00:19:17,136 --> 00:19:19,400
You mean, they ate the bone marrow?

267
00:19:19,472 --> 00:19:22,805
It would seem that somebody
ate the marrow and threw up.

268
00:19:23,943 --> 00:19:27,242
- But why?
- I don't know, Mr. Kolchak.

269
00:19:28,614 --> 00:19:30,605
I don't either.

270
00:19:34,153 --> 00:19:37,884
And the ball game is over. The first game
of the World Series...

271
00:19:37,957 --> 00:19:41,222
finishes on a tremendous play-
how about that, fans?

272
00:19:41,293 --> 00:19:44,194
The fastest game
in World Series history.

273
00:19:44,263 --> 00:19:47,596
You know, you shouldn't have used
infrared film. Yeah. That's all I had.

274
00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:49,600
Look, something's
comin' out, see? Yeah.

275
00:19:49,668 --> 00:19:52,466
Yeah. Be careful. Be very careful
with this. It's very important.

276
00:19:52,538 --> 00:19:56,565
Don't hassle technicians, Kolchak.
This takes scientific precision.

277
00:19:56,642 --> 00:19:59,110
A few seconds off,
and you get nothing.

278
00:19:59,178 --> 00:20:01,772
Which is just
what you got: Nothing.

279
00:20:06,118 --> 00:20:08,951
Two tons of lead.
What could use two tons of lead?

280
00:20:09,021 --> 00:20:11,285
God's pencil?
Wait, wait, wait, don't!

281
00:20:11,357 --> 00:20:14,622
What are you doing? What are you
doing, ya dum-dum? It's garbage!

282
00:20:14,693 --> 00:20:18,390
Now, listen. You reprint that thing.
This is very important. Do you hear me?

283
00:20:18,464 --> 00:20:21,695
And you put 'em in the files and you lock
'em up. I'm making 'em your responsibility.

284
00:20:21,767 --> 00:20:24,600
Big deal.
Yeah. Big, big deal.

285
00:20:32,311 --> 00:20:34,802
Gordy. Oh, hi, Kolchak. I guess
you heard we blew the game.

286
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,110
Cubs looked great, right up
to the top of the seventh.

287
00:20:37,182 --> 00:20:39,707
Yeah. Well, I guess I'll see it
on a sports TV recap.

288
00:20:39,785 --> 00:20:42,083
I've been trying to call you.
Did you know, last week,

289
00:20:42,154 --> 00:20:45,248
the number that won the stiff
lottery was 4-1-8? Yeah, so what?

290
00:20:45,324 --> 00:20:47,315
You had 4-1-7.
You missed by a hair.

291
00:20:47,393 --> 00:20:49,827
You been tryin' to reach me
all day to give me that good news?

292
00:20:49,895 --> 00:20:52,762
Mm-hmm. I want to keep your
faith up. You see, you can win.

293
00:20:52,831 --> 00:20:55,493
So keep pluggin'. Yeah, Gordy, listen.
Do you have the autopsy report...

294
00:20:55,568 --> 00:20:57,536
on the guard who was killed
out at Raydyne Electronics?

295
00:20:57,603 --> 00:21:00,197
Start pluggin' before you ask any
questions. That's what I figured.

296
00:21:00,272 --> 00:21:03,708
I'll give you 3-1-2 and 6-4-6.
Okay? Whatever. Whatever.

297
00:21:03,776 --> 00:21:05,710
Now, what about the
autopsy reports? You know,

298
00:21:05,778 --> 00:21:08,679
I've been thinking of changing the lottery
from birth year to time of death.

299
00:21:08,747 --> 00:21:13,081
I mean, what's your opinion? Gordy,
the autopsy report, huh? Donde esta?

300
00:21:13,152 --> 00:21:15,313
Max, listen. Bring the reports
down to my office-

301
00:21:15,387 --> 00:21:18,288
I'm telling you for the last time.
There are no special favors for anyone.

302
00:21:18,357 --> 00:21:21,656
You get it with the rest of the
reporters. What are you talkin' about?

303
00:21:21,727 --> 00:21:24,787
Hi. Hi, Gordon. Kolchak.
What's goin' on?

304
00:21:24,863 --> 00:21:28,594
For one thing, I'd like to find the autopsy report
on the guard who was killed at Raydyne Electronics.

305
00:21:28,667 --> 00:21:31,636
That's what I'd like to get. What's
all the hysteria? By all means.

306
00:21:31,704 --> 00:21:35,140
I'll be glad to give it to you. You got a
pencil and paper? I got my tape recorder here.

307
00:21:35,207 --> 00:21:37,869
Go on. Start talkin'.
Okay.

308
00:21:37,943 --> 00:21:42,880
Here we are. "Subject, Lloyd Reynolds.
Male Caucasian. 60 years of age.

309
00:21:42,948 --> 00:21:48,614
"Prior history of myocardial infarction.
Immediate cause of death, cardiac arrest.

310
00:21:48,687 --> 00:21:53,124
"Blood sample, normal.
No external wounds.

311
00:21:53,192 --> 00:21:56,161
"Stomach contents indicate
ingestion ofheavy meal...

312
00:21:56,228 --> 00:22:00,096
several hours before death. '"
That seems to be it, Carl.

313
00:22:00,165 --> 00:22:04,124
Uh-huh. I'd like to look at the body.
Uh, that's not permitted, Kolchak.

314
00:22:04,203 --> 00:22:08,572
I'm sorry, Kolchak. I can't permit you to go
in the drawer. That's against the rules here.

315
00:22:08,641 --> 00:22:12,372
You know, you're right. I'm sorry.
I really am. I apologize.

316
00:22:12,444 --> 00:22:14,469
I guess my reporter's zeal
got the better of me.

317
00:22:14,546 --> 00:22:18,812
Well, Carl. I think this is kind of
a landmark in our relationship.

318
00:22:18,884 --> 00:22:21,819
Stanley, I couldn't
agree with you more.

319
00:22:21,887 --> 00:22:24,822
So long.
I'll put that away, sir.

320
00:22:55,821 --> 00:22:59,018
"Prior history of myocardial infarction.

321
00:22:59,091 --> 00:23:01,559
"Pacemaker on the chest flap
in good condition.

322
00:23:01,627 --> 00:23:03,686
"No evidence of cardiac arrest.

323
00:23:03,762 --> 00:23:06,890
"Inserting trocar into sternum

"Hey, Philip. Look-Look at this.
It's bone dry.

325
00:23:10,836 --> 00:23:12,997
"If you'll pardon the expression,
there's no marrow. None.

326
00:23:13,072 --> 00:23:15,939
Let's go for the spinal column base
with the trocar. "

327
00:23:25,851 --> 00:23:28,877
September 2, 10:00 p. m.

328
00:23:28,954 --> 00:23:32,355
Leon Van Heusen.
Single, ambitious, slightly paranoid.

329
00:23:32,424 --> 00:23:36,485
By day, a television repairman, by night an observer
- a man with a purpose.

330
00:23:36,562 --> 00:23:39,087
The author of Mathmatico,
a universal language...

331
00:23:39,164 --> 00:23:43,533
that Leon has refined for use
in unconventional communication.

332
00:24:05,591 --> 00:24:08,253
Unfortunately, on September 2,
at 10:00 p. m.,

333
00:24:08,327 --> 00:24:12,423
Leon learned the oldest word
in the universal language-

334
00:24:24,810 --> 00:24:29,611
I tell you that myself
and every member of my staff are...

335
00:24:31,216 --> 00:24:35,983
pulling double shifts, as we always do
in a situation of this kind.

336
00:24:36,989 --> 00:24:40,891
Every department of this city's
law enforcement facility...

337
00:24:40,959 --> 00:24:43,826
is operating at peak efficiency.

338
00:24:43,896 --> 00:24:47,957
And I anticipate the arraignment
of certain, um, major suspects...

339
00:24:48,033 --> 00:24:51,662
within, uh-

340
00:24:52,738 --> 00:24:58,677
Well, within 24 hours. Sorry. Now, no, no questions
at this time, ladies and gentlemen, if you please.

341
00:24:58,744 --> 00:25:02,942
And because I'm sure that you all know
Raydyne Industries is involved...

342
00:25:03,015 --> 00:25:07,111
in some very classified work
on missile guidance systems.

343
00:25:07,186 --> 00:25:11,145
We're talking about national security,
ladies and gentlemen.

344
00:25:11,223 --> 00:25:13,783
Uh, Captain!

345
00:25:13,859 --> 00:25:16,794
Thank you, Captain. What is
the department's official position...

346
00:25:16,862 --> 00:25:22,061
upon the rumored puncture marks
in the body of the Raydyne guard?

347
00:25:22,134 --> 00:25:26,036
There's absolutely no foundation
for any such rumors, Mr. Kolchak.

348
00:25:26,104 --> 00:25:30,302
Wh-What about those missing lead ingots?
Two tons of them?

349
00:25:30,375 --> 00:25:32,707
Were they simplyjust misplaced?

350
00:25:32,778 --> 00:25:35,178
I have no reason
to believe otherwise.

351
00:25:35,247 --> 00:25:38,512
No reason? Well, you were there.
You saw what I saw.

352
00:25:38,584 --> 00:25:41,644
Those lead ingots, theyjust-
You saw... what, Mr. Kolchak?

353
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:48,889
Well, I know it's gonna
sound very funny-

354
00:25:48,961 --> 00:25:53,261
Yes, it probably will. So if
you don't mind, may we continue?

355
00:25:53,332 --> 00:25:58,235
You people are journalists.
Responsible journalists, I'm sure.

356
00:25:58,303 --> 00:26:02,706
But occasionally, in your zeal to get
the facts before the public,

357
00:26:02,774 --> 00:26:04,935
you sometimes forget
that you can...

358
00:26:05,010 --> 00:26:07,808
impede the course of justice by...

359
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,043
creating dissension,
terrifying the citizenry,

360
00:26:11,116 --> 00:26:15,815
and, more important,
losing your own credibility.

361
00:26:15,888 --> 00:26:18,049
Uh, Captain.

362
00:26:18,123 --> 00:26:22,184
Sir, Raydyne Electronics may
have a national security problem,

363
00:26:22,261 --> 00:26:26,288
but what about the security of
Al and Fred's TV Repair Shop,

364
00:26:26,365 --> 00:26:29,459
and what about
Henry Ansgaroni's stereo,

365
00:26:29,534 --> 00:26:32,901
and what about Mrs. Shank's
microwave oven?

366
00:26:32,971 --> 00:26:36,702
I have no idea what
you're talking about, Mr. Kolchak.

367
00:26:36,775 --> 00:26:39,107
But I'm sure that's not unusual,
is it, ladies and gentlemen?

368
00:26:41,179 --> 00:26:45,912
No, but what is unusual is that,
in the last two days, in this city,

369
00:26:45,984 --> 00:26:50,148
electronic parts have become about
as desirable and rare as diamonds-

370
00:26:50,222 --> 00:26:52,156
or bone marrow.

371
00:26:52,224 --> 00:26:55,887
I have no comment on that
at this time.

372
00:26:55,961 --> 00:26:58,953
Quill and I weren't the only ones
with watches that didn't work.

373
00:26:59,031 --> 00:27:02,797
Everyone that had been at Raydyne
Electronics had the same problem.

374
00:27:02,868 --> 00:27:08,568
Question: What would stop
17 wristwatches at exactly the same time?

375
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,438
Answer: An electromagnetic field
so strong...

376
00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:14,502
it might swing a compass needle
off true north...

377
00:27:14,579 --> 00:27:16,570
to the final truth.

378
00:27:21,553 --> 00:27:23,680
Mm, marvelous!

379
00:27:23,755 --> 00:27:27,213
- Delicious, Rich. Just delicious.
- Merci, monsieur. Bon appetit.

380
00:27:27,292 --> 00:27:29,260
Carl! Come on in!
You care to join me?

381
00:27:29,328 --> 00:27:32,126
No, no thanks. Courtesy
of the editor of the Times.

382
00:27:32,197 --> 00:27:34,495
He's a sucker for the Cubs.
Oh, ho! Mmm.

383
00:27:34,566 --> 00:27:36,500
Tony, I'm onto something big.
Yeah.

384
00:27:36,568 --> 00:27:38,695
Very, very big.
Yeah.

385
00:27:38,770 --> 00:27:41,568
Quill has been covering it up,
under the name of national security.

386
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,736
Covering what up?
A mess of lead ingots, stacks,

387
00:27:45,811 --> 00:27:48,041
that disappeared
before our very eyes.

388
00:27:48,113 --> 00:27:50,877
A stone wall that exploded outwards,
with no sound whatsoever.

389
00:27:50,949 --> 00:27:52,883
Totally silent!
Mm-hmm.

390
00:27:52,951 --> 00:27:56,478
And the dead guard with all the marrow
sucked out of his bones.

391
00:27:56,555 --> 00:28:00,286
Oh, Tony, I'm sorry. Forgive me, I-
Maybe I shouldn't tell you about that... now.

392
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,089
No. No, no, no, Carl.
You got a story to tell, tell it.

393
00:28:03,161 --> 00:28:05,629
You know, I- Th-That
doesn't bother me. Go ahead.

394
00:28:05,697 --> 00:28:09,793
All right. Now, electronic parts have been
disappearing for the last two days, all over the city.

395
00:28:09,868 --> 00:28:12,268
Quill tried to cover that up
under national security too.

396
00:28:12,337 --> 00:28:14,396
Are you beginning to make
the connection?

397
00:28:14,473 --> 00:28:16,771
Mmm, no.

398
00:28:16,842 --> 00:28:19,834
Then I'll have to start at the beginning,
with the autopsy on the dead panda.

399
00:28:19,911 --> 00:28:22,311
Carl, start somewhere else, will ya?

400
00:28:22,381 --> 00:28:26,750
Tony, listen. Are you sure that
you want me to talk about this now?

401
00:28:26,818 --> 00:28:29,514
Oh, yeah, sure. Cast iron
stomach, Carl. Cast iron.

402
00:28:29,588 --> 00:28:33,922
Go ahead. Every animal that
was killed at the zoo...

403
00:28:33,992 --> 00:28:38,395
had its marrow sucked out of its bones,
just like the guard at Raydyne Electronics.

404
00:28:38,463 --> 00:28:42,524
And in every case where there was
a dead human, or a dead animal,

405
00:28:42,601 --> 00:28:48,062
there was a puddle- a pile-
of bluish, greenish, black bile.

406
00:28:49,374 --> 00:28:53,208
L- It really stinks, Tony.
I mean, it's rancid. Sickening.

407
00:28:53,278 --> 00:28:57,612
And here's the capper.
This gooey substance...

408
00:28:57,682 --> 00:29:01,778
is composed of a strange combination
of chemical elements.

409
00:29:01,853 --> 00:29:05,220
- Hydrochloric acid, acetone and-
- Bone marrow.

410
00:29:05,290 --> 00:29:09,351
Bone marrow! Right!
Now, guess where...

411
00:29:09,428 --> 00:29:13,421
this strange, unusual combination
of elements occurs.

412
00:29:13,498 --> 00:29:17,229
Nowhere in this world.

413
00:29:17,302 --> 00:29:20,203
I knew you were going to say that, Carl.
I knew it! I really did!

414
00:29:20,272 --> 00:29:22,433
- You want proof.
- Yeah.

415
00:29:22,507 --> 00:29:25,032
Be right back.

416
00:29:27,512 --> 00:29:30,140
- Cervelles au Bercy.
- What's that?

417
00:29:30,215 --> 00:29:32,877
Brains.

418
00:29:39,658 --> 00:29:44,954
Monique?

419
00:29:45,030 --> 00:29:47,123
You gave away my pictures!

420
00:29:47,199 --> 00:29:49,997
You come out of there, or I'm gonna
suck the marrow out of your bones!

421
00:29:50,068 --> 00:29:54,129
That is no inducement
for me to come out, Mr. Kolchak.

422
00:29:54,206 --> 00:29:57,972
Be reasonable. What could I do?
They had on suits, ties, credentials-

423
00:29:58,043 --> 00:30:01,706
They had some forms from the Internal
Revenue. They knew all about me.

424
00:30:01,780 --> 00:30:04,806
They threatened an audit.
So, you gave away my pictures?

425
00:30:04,883 --> 00:30:08,785
I had to! They pull an audit on me,
and I go off the nearest bridge.

426
00:30:08,854 --> 00:30:14,315
Why should you be concerned about the I.R. S? You're just
out of college. You've only been working for a couple-

427
00:30:14,392 --> 00:30:18,954
You did file an income tax return?

428
00:30:32,010 --> 00:30:34,376
They didn't look that good
after they were dried.

429
00:30:34,446 --> 00:30:38,280
They looked fake.
I've seen better in magazines.

430
00:31:01,907 --> 00:31:04,740
Why did you let 'em do it? Those
guys in the gray suits. Do what?

431
00:31:04,809 --> 00:31:07,004
They stole
the tape that I stole.

432
00:31:07,078 --> 00:31:10,172
Those are the same guys that were out at
Raydyne. Now they're following me around here.

433
00:31:10,248 --> 00:31:12,808
Please.
Don't do this to me, Carl.

434
00:31:12,884 --> 00:31:16,012
I don't need another U.F.O. Story.
I've got enough problems.

435
00:31:18,790 --> 00:31:21,623
I didn't say U.F.O.

436
00:31:23,795 --> 00:31:25,820
You said U.F.O.
They said U.F.O.

437
00:31:25,897 --> 00:31:28,832
Carl, I was just speaking generically.
Now, please, Carl. Be reasonable.

438
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:32,563
Remember what happened the last time we
put out one of these kooky scare stories?

439
00:31:32,637 --> 00:31:35,265
All the phones were tied up.
Police station phones were tied up.

440
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:38,798
Police came down on me
like a ton of bricks!

441
00:31:38,877 --> 00:31:40,970
Carl, please.
Leave it alone, will ya?

442
00:31:41,046 --> 00:31:43,606
Sure. Sure, Tony.

443
00:31:43,682 --> 00:31:47,174
Why don't you have another seltzer
and go on home and go to bed?

444
00:31:49,354 --> 00:31:51,345
I don't want another seltzer.

445
00:31:54,226 --> 00:31:57,389
Have you ever tried to report
a U.F.O. Sighting?

446
00:31:57,462 --> 00:32:01,398
I'll save you the trouble. There is not a
single government agency still in existence...

447
00:32:01,466 --> 00:32:04,094
that will admit to any interest
in the subject.

448
00:32:04,169 --> 00:32:07,502
If you seem to be insistent, they will
refer you to a private organization.

449
00:32:07,572 --> 00:32:10,370
Um, I'm very excited...

450
00:32:10,442 --> 00:32:13,809
to be able to share
with you all this evening...

451
00:32:13,878 --> 00:32:17,245
my experiences
with the flying saucer.

452
00:32:17,315 --> 00:32:21,911
Uh, I only hope that
I can remember all the details,

453
00:32:21,987 --> 00:32:25,320
because it was-
it was very, very exciting.

454
00:32:25,390 --> 00:32:29,451
I only spent about an hour
aboard the saucer itself.

455
00:32:30,528 --> 00:32:32,189
Do you want an application?
To what?

456
00:32:32,264 --> 00:32:35,700
- L-Wait. - And then they
served me something that tasted-

457
00:32:35,767 --> 00:32:39,134
oh, not unlike ginger ale
and bourbon.

458
00:32:39,204 --> 00:32:42,435
And that's when, uh...

459
00:32:42,507 --> 00:32:48,104
their leader, a very smart-looking
alien, got a little fresh with me.

460
00:32:48,179 --> 00:32:52,741
But when I let him know
that I was firm- determined-

461
00:32:52,817 --> 00:32:56,378
he kept his extensions
to himself.

462
00:32:56,454 --> 00:33:00,652
- It was quite exciting.
- Have any of your members reported any sightings the last few days?

463
00:33:00,725 --> 00:33:04,456
Well, Leon Van Heusen, one of our members,
called in an Opus last Monday night.

464
00:33:04,529 --> 00:33:08,693
An "appis"? No, Opus. Opus. Opus is,
"One Party, Unverified Sighting. "

465
00:33:08,767 --> 00:33:12,134
Oh, yes. Oh, here
it is. Here it is.

466
00:33:12,203 --> 00:33:14,865
I wonder why he didn't petition
the authentication committee.

467
00:33:14,939 --> 00:33:17,635
Well, Leon's a touch
paranoid. Yes. Yes. Ohh.

468
00:33:17,709 --> 00:33:19,643
Yes, the Opus was-
Shh!

469
00:33:19,711 --> 00:33:23,169
"The destructive star,
called Wormwood,

470
00:33:23,248 --> 00:33:26,274
is not a star but a missile. "

471
00:33:26,351 --> 00:33:30,185
Now, upside down and backwards,
it reads "Doomwrom. "

472
00:33:30,255 --> 00:33:33,053
Doomroom? Doo-

473
00:33:33,124 --> 00:33:36,685
That doesn't spell "Doomwrom. "
Well, it certainly does.

474
00:33:36,761 --> 00:33:39,753
The Opus was sighted at Snake,
uh, Park? If that's what it says.

475
00:33:39,831 --> 00:33:41,924
"Snake Rock," here. Yes, Snake
Rock. Does that spell "Doomwrom?"

476
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,935
I don't know. How many members
in the Highland Park area?

477
00:33:45,003 --> 00:33:47,665
Just Leon. Yes. Just Leon.
And where is this Snake Rock?

478
00:33:47,739 --> 00:33:51,038
Snake Rock. Well, there's a bus that
- No, the bus doesn't run there. Do you have a car?

479
00:33:51,109 --> 00:33:54,272
Yes, I have a car. Excuse me, Mr. Gough. I
don't understand what you're talking about.

480
00:33:54,346 --> 00:33:56,473
"Doomwrom. " It certainly
does. My dear. My dear.

481
00:33:56,548 --> 00:34:00,746
Backwards and upside down. My dear, it's plain
- It spells "Droomdrum. "

482
00:34:00,819 --> 00:34:04,949
No, I am sorry, but- Okay,
there are two- Call a cab!

483
00:35:06,718 --> 00:35:10,779
Your present location is the third planet
of our star system.

484
00:35:10,855 --> 00:35:15,349
We are peaceful. I will now
address you in Mathmatico.

485
00:35:15,427 --> 00:35:17,691
The universal language.

486
00:36:49,854 --> 00:36:53,346
This is Riley, at the planetarium. You
better get a squad over here right away.

487
00:38:10,969 --> 00:38:12,960
Hey, old-timer,
I didn't mean to disturb you-

488
00:39:54,605 --> 00:39:59,133
Let's get some lights on in here. I think
there's some switches over by that console panel.

489
00:39:59,210 --> 00:40:02,702
Get away from that console! Don't go near
that thing! What the hell are you doin'?

490
00:40:02,780 --> 00:40:04,771
Paul?
He's dead.

491
00:40:06,184 --> 00:40:09,642
Any luck over there?
Get some lights!

492
00:40:13,357 --> 00:40:15,382
Get back!
Get away from that thing!

493
00:40:15,460 --> 00:40:18,156
Back up!
Get outta there.

494
00:40:19,163 --> 00:40:22,223
What are you guys pointin' at? You can't
see anything anyway. Listen, I can stop it.

495
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:26,327
Stop it? Stop what? I don't know, but
whatever it is, it can't stand light.

496
00:40:26,404 --> 00:40:32,036
I was alone with it in here, and I stopped
it with this. It was lookin' at maps!

497
00:40:32,110 --> 00:40:34,806
Map? What kinda map? Maps!
Maps. Star maps. Look up there.

498
00:40:34,879 --> 00:40:38,246
See? Galaxies.
See, look. Over there.

499
00:40:39,851 --> 00:40:42,285
Well, there's nothin' over there.
I don't see anything.

500
00:40:42,353 --> 00:40:44,378
Anybody see anything? Huh?

501
00:40:44,455 --> 00:40:47,083
What? What do you see, Kolchak?
I don't see anything either.

502
00:40:47,158 --> 00:40:49,285
But that doesn't mean
that there's nothing there.

503
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,989
Oh. Somebody throw a net over Kolchak, will ya?
I think he's about ready for the rubber room.

504
00:40:53,064 --> 00:40:58,127
Quill, I talked with Dr. Heinz Wollenweider
over at the Fermi Research Institute.

505
00:40:58,202 --> 00:41:01,069
Now, he told me that the human eye
cannot detect...

506
00:41:01,139 --> 00:41:04,267
certain portions of the light spectrum.

507
00:41:04,342 --> 00:41:07,800
Now, we know that X-rays exist.
We know that cosmic rays exist.

508
00:41:07,879 --> 00:41:11,610
The fact that we can't see them
doesn't mean they aren't there!

509
00:41:11,682 --> 00:41:14,810
If you can't see it,
how do you know it's there?

510
00:41:14,886 --> 00:41:18,947
Infrared film.
It's sensitive to heat.

511
00:41:19,023 --> 00:41:21,685
Heat makes the image.

512
00:41:21,759 --> 00:41:25,820
The flash from this flashgun
saved my life just now.

513
00:41:26,831 --> 00:41:29,595
Now, either you go out and talk
to your friends from Washington,

514
00:41:29,667 --> 00:41:32,534
or wherever they're from,
or I will.

515
00:41:33,805 --> 00:41:37,536
Wait a minute, you
- You mean, the light from that flashgun of yours...

516
00:41:37,608 --> 00:41:41,339
stopped this... whatever?
Dead in its tracks.

517
00:41:41,412 --> 00:41:44,540
If it had made any.
Yeah?

518
00:41:44,615 --> 00:41:46,708
All right, we'll see about that.

519
00:41:48,186 --> 00:41:50,177
Stand by here.

520
00:42:13,678 --> 00:42:16,374
All right, you people.
Gather round here, now.

521
00:42:16,447 --> 00:42:19,780
Get that mobile unit with
the lights. Bring 'em in here.

522
00:42:19,851 --> 00:42:21,944
And hit the entrance
with those big lights.

523
00:42:23,855 --> 00:42:27,222
Where-You're nuts.
You're gonna get your heads taken.

524
00:42:55,319 --> 00:42:58,049
Ted, get that man over there.

525
00:42:58,122 --> 00:43:00,283
Somebody get on that fire.

526
00:43:00,358 --> 00:43:03,691
Eddie? Move this out ofhere
and get an ambulance in.

527
00:43:03,761 --> 00:43:05,695
Quill-
Yeah? Kolchak.

528
00:43:05,763 --> 00:43:08,926
There's gotta be an explanation for this.
There's gotta be. Just let me figure it out.

529
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,366
You gotta figure out how you're
gonna earn a living from now on,

530
00:43:11,435 --> 00:43:15,064
because of now, you're through
as a paperboy in this town.

531
00:43:15,139 --> 00:43:17,607
It had to be the camera.
It had to be! What else could it be?

532
00:43:17,675 --> 00:43:20,610
The lights!
The lights just irritated it.

533
00:43:20,678 --> 00:43:23,738
They wanna talk to you, Captain.
Yeah. All right.

534
00:44:19,070 --> 00:44:21,061
It's the recharger!

535
00:44:27,478 --> 00:44:29,776
Hit the front part
up there too.

536
00:44:29,847 --> 00:44:32,441
Quill! Captain, I got it.

537
00:44:32,516 --> 00:44:35,178
No, look, i-i-it was the camera,
but it wasn't the light.

538
00:44:35,252 --> 00:44:37,914
Is this another one
of your stupid theories, Kolchak?

539
00:44:37,989 --> 00:44:40,457
Huh? You don't know
when you're well off, do you?

540
00:44:40,524 --> 00:44:43,220
No, listen. No. No.
It was the battery recharger.

541
00:44:43,294 --> 00:44:46,388
The nickel cadmium batteries in there.
They emit a high-pitched whine.

542
00:44:46,464 --> 00:44:48,398
Listen.

543
00:44:48,466 --> 00:44:51,094
It hurts, doesn't it, huh? Who
knows what it sounds like to it.

544
00:44:51,168 --> 00:44:54,296
You know what I'd like to do
to you, Kolchak? And I'd do it, too,

545
00:44:54,372 --> 00:44:56,897
only you're gonna be dealt with
at a much higher level.

546
00:44:56,974 --> 00:44:59,374
I don't care. I don't care.
Just get on the walkie-talkie...

547
00:44:59,443 --> 00:45:02,537
and tell your friends from Washington,
I figured out how the camera works.

548
00:45:02,613 --> 00:45:05,548
Those people
are gonna do to you what me...

549
00:45:05,616 --> 00:45:08,210
and no other cop in this city's
ever been able to do.

550
00:45:08,285 --> 00:45:10,219
They're gonna take care of you good.

551
00:45:10,287 --> 00:45:13,654
Once and for all, Kolchak! I don't care about
your threats. Just get on the horn and tell 'em.

552
00:45:13,724 --> 00:45:17,353
Don't be stupid, please! You
want me to get on the horn?

553
00:45:17,428 --> 00:45:19,419
Get outta here.

554
00:50:35,612 --> 00:50:38,638
They tried to make a little park out of
the woods near Snake Rock-

555
00:50:38,716 --> 00:50:41,446
daffodils, tulips-but they
couldn't get anything to grow.

556
00:50:41,518 --> 00:50:44,180
There was an area shaped
like a saucer at the bottom.

557
00:50:44,254 --> 00:50:46,188
If you want to see it,
you'll have to hurry.

558
00:50:46,256 --> 00:50:50,283
Our park commission decided overnight
to do extensive reclamation work...

559
00:50:50,361 --> 00:50:52,329
in that particular spot.

560
00:50:52,396 --> 00:50:55,763
They're filling it in with concrete.

561
00:50:55,833 --> 00:50:58,996
"What happened?
It's all a point of view really.

562
00:50:59,069 --> 00:51:02,664
"A traveler has a breakdown, stops to fix
it, gets a road map, has a bite to eat...

563
00:51:02,740 --> 00:51:04,970
"and goes on his way-
it's happened to all of us.

564
00:51:05,042 --> 00:51:09,536
"This traveler happened to be
light-years off his course,

565
00:51:09,613 --> 00:51:12,081
"instead of miles.

566
00:51:12,149 --> 00:51:14,242
"As for me?

567
00:51:14,318 --> 00:51:17,754
"Well, I haven't heard
from the boys in the sedan-

568
00:51:19,189 --> 00:51:21,350
yet. "
