- A few years
ago African honey bees

were imported to Brazil.

They bred with the local species producing

a new, aggressive and
dangerous strain that,

without provocation, attacked and killed

countless animals and scores of humans.

These bees spread uncontrollably

throughout the country.

Each year, the area infested by

the killer bees grows larger and larger.

At this moment, South America has

been completely invaded.

So far, there are no means to prevent

these deadly insects from taking over

the entire Western hemisphere.

- Papa, I'm afraid to go in there.

- Afraid?

Nothing to be afraid of.

We use plenty of smoke.

Bees go to sleep.

Here, hold this.

- Papa, what does that say?

- It says honey.

Plenty of honey in there.

When a man has only one
son and four daughters,

he has to gather plenty
of honey for the market.

Come on.

There must be 20 or 30 pounds in each box.

And, I heard in the
village that the Americans

keep the best hives in their cage.

Smoke them.

Smoke them.

Stop them.

More smoke.

- I'm out.

- Franklin, when are you coming to bed?

- What's the matter, can't you sleep?

- Well, sleeping isn't what I had in mind.

My darling, you work too hard.

- Yes, what is it?

- Golden bees are going crazy.

Somebody out there are fooling with them.

- Let's go see.

- Franklin.

- Yeah?

- Your veil.

- Yeah.

Let's go.

- Somebody try to rob the honey.

- God damn it.

Instead of raiding the domestic hives

they had to meddle with these killer bees.

- I hope they got good legs for running.

- Help me.

- Help me, help me.

Help me, help me.

It hurts, it hurts bad.

Help me.

Help me, help me, help me.

Help me, help me.

Help me, help me.

- Franklin, come on.

Rosa's serving breakfast.

- Coming.

- Rosa,

again?

Oh.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Just in time, I see.

What's this?

Looks delicious.

- again.

- What's the matter, don't you like it?

- Oh sure.

It's just that, Rosa's
trying to get me pregnant.

- You say one year now.

Later, you will ask for
your own five year plan.

- Wait.

Under the proper conditions.

- You are out of order.

- Oh, would you punch six for me, please?

- Sure.

- What are you doing?

- Just relax.

- Give me that.
- What?

No.

- What the hell you got there?

- How the hell do you get it open?

- Um, Dr. Norman I presume.

- Mrs. Miller?

- Yes.

- Well, come in please.

- Thank you.

Are you alright?

- You have a guest.

I'm terribly sorry.

- That's alright.
- No, no.

Maybe if you can just find me a hotel

then I won't bother you.

- No. This Alicia Encino.

- Encinas.

- Encinas.

This is Mrs. Miller.

- How do you do?

- Fine, thank you.

- Here, let me your coat off.

I didn't even know it was raining outside.

Are you sure you're alright.

You've got quite a bruise
there on your forehead.

Alicia was just leaving, really.

- I'm terribly sorry for
spoiling your evening.

I really.

- Oh listen, you better
let me have a look at that.

That could be more
serious than you imagine.

Come on.

- No, it's really

- Hey, hold onto me.

Hold onto me.

- Yeah, I just felt woozy.

- Sit down.

I just wanna say I'm
sorry about your husband.

I know that the failure of
the project wasn't his fault.

I'll be right back.

- You know it's really important

to me that I'm able to
help finish his work

because I really wanna show that

he was on the right track.

- I understand.

- But, boy I'm not any
good at all this intrigue.

I lost all of my things.

No, no, I was so afraid
to go back for my bags.

I didn't want to become
involved with the police.

- Well, it's understandable that

you got through customs alright.

- Oh yeah.

Well, they were hassling some... ow.

Well, they were hassling
some poor fellow with a beard

and jeans and I just kind of slipped by

looking very respectable.

I simply don't look respectable now.

- God, the bees.

- Alicia?

- Hold it.

- What?

- Just don't move.

Don't move.

- See.

Aw.

It's already lost it's singer.

- What does that mean?

- Oh, it probably stung your friend.

- Well, will she be alright?

- She'll be dead in a couple of minutes.

- Wait a minute, I mean my friend.

- Oh sure.

No, she'll be fine.

Only a couple of got out

and it's not enough to be dangerous.

- Certainly look like you know

what you're doing with those things.

- I'm terrific with one at a time.

It's when they come after you by

the thousands that I get very nervous.

- Well, do we still have
enough to form a colony?

- The queens and the drones are sealed up

and that's all really that we need.

Except we need a safe place to keep them.

- Well, your Uncle Ziggy's got that

and he'll be back soon.

So, look, stay here.

Really, you've gotta be tired

and the tranquilizer I gave you is gonna

be taking effect so
I'll sleep on the couch.

- Oh no.

- Really, I insist.

Please.

I'll be right out here.

If you need anything.

- Good morning, Doctor.

- Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

- I slept wonderfully.

Thank you very much.

- Good.

- You do all that karate stuff?

- I used to.

I found it was a good hobby
in New York.

- So I've noticed.

Maybe you should teach me.

- Well, the first thing
you'd have to learn

is how to tie your belt.

- Well, it's not quite my
size if you've noticed.

- Do you mind?

- No.

- You put it around double.

- Oh, it's like a Chinese,
uh, kimono.

Yeah?
- It's Japanese.

Really?

- Of course.

Here, like that.

- That's terrific.

You didn't make your bed.

- No.

- Shall I make it?

- Sure, thank you.

Would you like some breakfast?

- Oh, wonderful.

Do you need some help?

- No, it's all prepared.

- Someone's at your door.

- I'll take care of it.

- Hi, you're home.

Good.

- And, where have you been?

- I was in the country.

What I just realized

I have forgot Sandra
was coming in yesterday.

Have you heard from her?

- Well, actually she's uh.

- Uncle Ziggy.

- Sandra.

- You look wonderful.

This is my niece, Sandra Miller.

- We've met.

- Yes, so I see.

Sandra, I'm glad you're here.

But, don't you think you should
have waited a little longer?

A decent period of mourning
before you..

- Now look here old man,
it wasn't like that.

Not at all.

- Of course not.

Uncle Ziggy, don't be silly.

- Zigman, how bout some breakfast?

You're probably hungry after chasing

all those bees around the mountain.

- Yes, thank you.

Smells like fresh coffee.

- It is.

- Here, why don't you let me do this.

You go ahead and sit down.

- Yeah.

Let the women serve us.

Says the red coat mason.

Uncle Ziggy, would you like
some salt in your coffee?

- Tell me, how are the bees?

- Okay.

At least the Queen is and
that's all that matters.

- Any trouble with customs?

- No, but we were
lucky that we didn't.

I can't understand why we didn't get

official permission to
import the bees.

- We'll be lucky if the
department of agriculture

doesn't ask any questions if
we come up

with some results later.

- If even through official
channels, it will be too late.

John, some people from big
business want to talk to us.

Can you make a meeting tomorrow?

- Big business?

Why, what do they want?

- What you think they want?

Money, profits.

Honey producers,
cosmetic manufacturers.

And, we need their money
for our researches.

- Okay, if you say so.

- You must show them how dangerous

these adult honey bees are.

- I can understand your
interest in our work

from an economic point of view but

it'll be quite awhile
before we can find out

whether these African bees can be made

less dangerous while
not losing any of their

beneficial qualities.

- Well, better a little
more aggressive than lazy.

That's the American
tradition after all.

- Are you say you want to
use these killer bees now?

Just to get more honey?

- My company is interested
in the cosmetic value

of the royal jelly which bees make.

Now, these special bees make very

special royal jelly, mustn't they?

- No, nope, not at all.

- That doesn't matter.

- Dr. Norman.

Dr. Hummel.

We're businessmen, not scientists.

Let me come to the point.

We want you to collaborate with us.

And, I might say that
we can be very generous.

- Mr. Winkler, Mr.
Blankeley and Mr. Green.

- Gray, Irving Gray.

- Irving.

Let's get this straight.

You wanna take these Killer bees

and actually release them
in the United States?

- No, no.

Not released exactly.

We'll have them well under control.

- Impossible.

You don't understand.

The mellifera adansonii
has caused the deaths

of hundreds of people in Brazil alone.

God knows how many people in Africa.

- Now, listen Norman.

If you don't cooperate with us.

There are other ways to get
insects into the country.

Besides, I don't believe
these scare stories.

How do you know the bees are
so dangerous, young lady?

- Because her husband
was killed by them.

Let's go.

Sandra, Mr. Hummel.

- John, we must work fast.

They bring these bees
here, just as we did.

We must forget about breeding them.

We must find a way to
destroy them instead.

- Julio.

Julio Cesar.

- Julio, Julio Cesar.

I've got some news for you

and some money.

- What kind of news?

And, how much?

- How would you like to spend your

vacations in the United States?

All expenses paid by my company.

- You better not be cheating me, man.

- I'm not, it's for sure.

- Mexico City control tower

to 5824.

Permission granted for
emergency landing.

Use landing strictly to east terminal.

Ambulance and paramedic
services ready.

- Your attention, please.

This the Captain, Captain Reydel.

Mexican authorities are presently

conducting a thorough investigation

of the airplane.

Please bare with this
temporary inconvenience.

We will be resuming our flight

to New York City shortly.

Thank you.

Did you find out what
killed the passenger?

- Yeah, sure.

He was wearing this belt.

Be careful.

- Look.

- Where'd he come from?

- Stand back.

- Who is he?

- Artificial sunlight.

So you can have any season you'd like.

Or

Any time of day.

As you know

bees orient themselves
according to the sun

So east to west.

We can have what we want.

Then we just feed the information

into the computer and we're geniuses.

- Oh, that's fabulous.

Did you design all of this?

- Well, most of it
along with Ziggy's help.

We wanted to see

what various kinds of
conditioning would have on bees.

I guess we can go now.

- Well, I guess you haven't heard

the news this morning have you?

Bout the bees on the airliner?

- Bees on the airliner?

No, why, what happened?

- A man was Killed.

I know him.

He used to work for us in Brazil.

Tried to smuggle a colony of adansonii

into the United States.

- Oh, good God.

Did any get loose?

- Only on the airliner.

Plane almost crashed.

Had to land in Mexico City.

- Well, there you are.

I mean, they're at it already.

The greedy sons of bitches.

I mean, we're gonna have
to work even harder.

- Well, hey.

You need your rest, too.

I mean, your brain doesn't work

efficiently if it's over tired.

- I'm alright.

You know, I think I may have come

onto something last night.

The microwave radiation
just may do it after all.

Trouble is it was also just
absolutely unpredictable.

- John, I mean you're being careful

with that radiation, aren't you?

I mean, we wouldn't want you altering

your chromosomes
or altering your genes.

- No, these are, uh, highly
focused instruments.

They're not like radar
beams or microwave ovens.

Don't worry.

Why are you so interested
in what's in my genes?

- Oh well, personally I'm not.

It's just that you may
want to use 'em sometime.

- Alright now.

Are you all ready for the hike?

We must all stay together and...

- More to the... More to the right.

More.

That's fine.

Yeah.

Back a little bit.

Yeah, that's good.

I couldn't work this without you.

- I'm only good Uncle
Ziggy 'cause I work cheap.

You know I work cheap.

- Hey kids.

Dinner's ready.

- See this brown bag?

- Yeah.

- You think you can catch me some bees

and put 'em in that.

Well, you see, I got a
little problem with my legs

called rheumatism.

It hurts, it hurts all the time.

- Yeah, so.

- You might not believe it.

The bee stings make it feel better.

So, what I want you to do
is to take this

paper bag and catch me four five bees.

Bring 'em to me.

But, don't let 'em sting ya.

They can only sting one time.

Then they die.

- Okay, you got a deal but
shove over the bread first.

- Okay.

One buck now and one buck
when ya bring me the bees.

Good luck.

- Hey whatcha guys doing?

- What's it to you?

- Catching bees for some old jerk.

- You're putting me on.

What do you mean catching bees?

- No shit.

The old guys paying us
to catch him some bees.

- Yeah, how much is he paying?

- None of your god damn business.

- Two bucks.

- Two bucks for bees.

- Well, ya have any luck boys?

Guess I owe you another buck.

Now we're gonna see
if this is gonna work.

- You mean to tell me you're gonna

actually let 'em sting you?

- If they will.

We'll see.

Oh.

Oh.

- This morning several clouds of

the so-called killer bees was seen

over the San Diego Bay area.

It is incredible that in spite
of having

the most sophisticated weapons

and advanced defense systems,

the United States seems completely

defenseless against this invasion.

More news about the
bees in just one minute.

- Sheba, a new discovery in

natural beauty cremes.

The same formula used
by the Queen of Sheba

which devastated the
Great King Solomon

and made him her slave.

What was her secret?

Royal jelly.

And, now the Proctor Benny company

has rediscovered this
long lost miracle

produced only by a rare
species of African bee.

- That's like playing
a cigarette commercial

after a documentary on lung cancer.

- Two farmers were
killed today in Arizona,

bringing the toll of
deaths caused by the bees

to a frightening total of 46 to date.

- Damn red tape.

Takes weeks for the simplest request.

Here we are, that far from the answer

and they're gonna be spraying half

the country with insecticides.

Hundreds of square miles poisoned.

Made sterile for years to come.

- Uncle Ziggy.

Why, why can't we use that new pherone

tomorrow?

- It's not possible.

We need witnesses, observers.

It's gotta be official
or else it's useless.

- Well, it isn't for us.

I mean, if we know for sure

and if you're convinced,

I mean, you could persuade them

to give us more time, couldn't you?

- Maybe.

But, I'd have to have a lot
of hard facts and figures and

under natural conditions,
not just in the lab.

- And, you will have to
find a farm somewhere.

Tomorrow would be a good day.

I know where you should look, too.

But, you must be very careful.

- I'm ready.

- So am I.

- It's dangerous.

- Well, of course.

That's why you need me along.

- It's amazing.

Ziggy knew exactly where to look

for those wild bee hives.

Give me the smoker.

- Oh, is that that radar
station you were talking about?

- Yeah.

Radiation from that dish is so intense

there's no telling what
it would do to you.

I wonder what would happen to our

adansonii if they got a
good dose of that radiation.

- I don't know, Doctor,
that's your department.

- Go down.

The lower one will be
easier to experiment with.

Let's be careful, huh.

I'll smoke 'em and quiet
'em down a little bit.

- Well, they're adansonii.

- That's our greedy, smuggling
friends in business.

Okay?

- Yeah.

Well, here goes the pherone.

- Good.

Let's get out of here.

I don't know what's happening

but something's going on here.

- Boy, are they confused.

They are really confused, John.

- I think they're...

in fact

they're attacking each other
right here.

Look.

- I can't.

- What are you doing?

- Looking for something.

Ah ha!

- What?

- I found her.

- Be careful.

- Yeah, she's dead.

Her own workers have killed her.

Oh.

- Your Uncle Ziggy was right.

- Oh John.

- It works.

It works.

Oh.

Oh, it works.

Oh.

- Oh, John it works.

Oh.

- Quick, get in there.

Get in, you'll be safe.

- Our next entry, South Covina.

Don't forget the theme of
this year's Rose Parade.

On the road to happiness.

Beautiful.

Just fantastic.

4500 hand sewn Azaleas.

Sensational.

Boy, I tell ya,
that Millikan High School

marching band certainly has one

of the very best baton twirlers.

I've never seen anything
like this before in my life.

It looks like bees.

Thousands of 'em.

- Close the door Sue, will you.

- Take it easy, Sam.

It wasn't the hives,
it was that Dr. Morris.

The one you picked to bring the

frozen bee sperm from Brazil.

He stole some,
sold it to the competition

and let their bees escape.

- Now the question is, what
are we gonna do about it.

- Well, it's my responsibility as

an Undersecretary of the
Department of Agriculture

to come up with some recommendation.

Now, the only thing I can
see to get out of this mess

is to find a way to kill these bees.

All of them.

- All of them?

- We just got the new project started.

This year we expect to
show record profits.

- Now look, look.

I can't hedge on this one.

I don't want an investigation started

and I'm sure you don't either.

Now I decided I'm going to give

all the funding to this Dr. Hummel.

Give it to him slowly.

I'm sure you realized that this

got more involved in here
than profits.

I'm sure you know what I mean.

- So, as you may know,

the Queen bee leaves
her swarm from the hive

in order to start a new
colony somewhere else.

Now the drones,
that is the fertile males,

must mate with her on this
so-called nuptial flight.

They find her by scent.

That is, the Queen bee
gives off a chemical odor

which the drones can detect
for hundreds of yards.

So what Dr. Hummel
proposes is the synthetic

manufacture of this chemical,

which is known as a pherone,

and it can be sprayed into the
atmosphere

and we believe cause the drones

to become confused and attempt

to mate with each other rather
than with the Queen bee.

- Gentlemen, Dr. Norman, I'm sold.

You have made a brilliant presentation

and I feel that your solution will

resolve all this problem.

- Well, uh,
there are certain benefits.

- On balance, it's worth considering.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you very much.

Thank you.

- Sandra.

Now you will see something
frightening.

The battle to the death
between the new Queens.

It's survival of the fittest or rather

of the most brutal.

It affects the human
political process and event.

- Uncle Ziggy, that really
hardly seems democratic.

- By the way, do you still
have all of Frank's notes?

- Yes,
I've been typing them up for you.

And,
I also have his account books, too.

And, Uncle Ziggy, I've
been meaning to ask you,

would you take a look at them with me?

Franklin, just before he was killed,

he was very upset about
something he found out.

Something about the money.

- Yeah,
I'll have a look at them later.

- Okay.

Well, hello stranger.

How was the conference?

- You won't believe it.

- Well, try me.

- The Agricultural
Department's gonna fund us.

They're gonna give us
everything we want.

I've got it right here in
black and white.

- Oh no they, no.

There's gotta be a catch.

- Yeah, there's a catch.

We can eliminate the killer bee

without endangering any other species.

- Oh.

Oh good.

Let's go tell Uncle Ziggy.

- We got the deal.

Ziggy.

We got the deal.

We got the deal.

They're gonna fund us.

They're gonna give us everything
we want.

We can start work on your idea
right now.

- Wonderful.

I knew you could persuade them.

What about your own progress?

The microwave experiments.

- I've run into a dead end.

- So.

- Yeah, at least for the moment, Doc.

Well, I know that I can alter

the genetic structure of the bees and

I produced some pretty strange
behavior

but I don't know what it means and

I haven't made them any less
dangerous,

that's for sure.

- What strange behavior?

- Well, they group together in the

oddest configurations like,

this may sound like the strange

shreds of an old work mine,

like an electronic circuit.

Like the wire printout of a computer.

- Did you record the sounds?

- Yes.

- That's good.

Give me the tapes.

I should like to hear them.

- What would expect to find?

- I don't know
but I've been discovering

that they communicate not only

by movements but with sounds as well.

Sounds which the human
ear cannot distinguish.

Look, I'll show you.

This is the dance.

The language of the bees.

The dance is heard by the scout bees.

She's telling him about 100
meters to the northwest.

See, two rotations to the left

and they transit at twelve meters

and that pause there.

So far it is clear.

But,
how do they know about the quantity

and the quality?

Listen.

See,
she's telling them it's pretty good

but there's not much of it.

So, see, only a few workers leave

for that particular flower.

- That's amazing.

How did you figure that out?

- The computer.

I have a program now.

It's very much like translating
an unknown language.

If you have enough inscriptions,

you can discover the pattern.

- But, can you talk back to them, too?

- Ah, I am working on that.

- What kind of a bee is that?

- An artificial one.

Sandra make it for me.

It is controlled by little wire

under the entrance stage.

See, now he's saying

which way to go and how far.

See, two turns to the left

and back five centimeters.

The workers understand
that and off they go.

- There's nothing artificial
about that.

- Hey that kiss is for me,
not for you.

After all, she is my niece.

- That's adding incest to injury.

- But it proves her good taste.

- If she had good taste, that
kiss would've been for me.

- Well,
that just shows I have good taste.

- Eisel.

Come here.

Quit moving.

Oh, you stupid thing.

Eisel.

Go back in hole.

Go home now.

Go home, go to sleep.

Go back in, go back in.

Come on.

Oh, you're truant.

Student painter.

- Oh, thank you.

- Dr. Norman.
- Mr. Brennan.

It's very nice seeing you, my boy.

- Good to see you again.

- Sir.

- I'm sorry.

We couldn't make it any sooner.

We got tied up in that damn traffic.

- Oh, don't worry about it.

No problem, no problem.

- Oh and I believe you know
Mr. Winkler

and Mr. Blankeley.

- Absolutely.

- Yes, yes, we've met.

- Dr. Norman.

- You gentlemen working
with the administration now?

- Well, not exactly but the industry

has a great stake in this
matter, you understand.

- Yes.

- Dr. Norman, usually
it's not sound policy

to take action on a unproven theory

such as yours without first doing

extensive testing as you well know.

- Yes, I know indeed.

- However, the President has asked

that we try everything possible to be

able to resolve this situation.

There's been over 200 deaths
including many children

and thousands ahead of livestock.

- Look, Mr. Brennan.

We are prepared to cover an entire

infested area within one week.

I mean, that's one of the advantages

of this method as opposed to
insecticides.

One teaspoon of pherone
can cover a thousand acres.

- Then if it doesn't work it
doesn't cost us that much.

- But, it will work and
furthermore there will

be no damage to the environment
at all.

- Well, wonderful then.

Wonderful.

Whenever you're ready
just start out there.

- We're ready right now.

- Just let us know what you need.

- Okay.

- See, I can do it, too.

- Dr. Moorhead,
this is General Cradick.

Dr. Moorhead has been
appointed U.N. observer.

- As you know General, this procedure

requires surgical precision.

- I believe
that serious circumstances

require serious measures.

- Well, we're right on time.

The weather's perfect.

Let's hope they do it right.

- We'll isolate the areas where the

climate's most consistently temperate

or hot as in the desert
or in this region south.

And we'll plan attack
squads in a circular pattern

surrounding the principle
breeding areas

move in toward the center.

Try to stop the spread.

- What about the nearby towns?

Will they be in any danger?

- We'll drop in supplies
on an as needed basis

to those places that we
can't evacuate.

- Fine, well,
what about the rest of the country?

- Well, the colder regions
will inhibit the breeding.

We don't expect any further
spreading of colonies and

that'll give us sufficient time
to plan

our maneuvers in the areas most
hard hit.

- I don't know, Dr. Norman

but I hope for all of us that
you know what you're doing.

- I hope so, too.

- Dr. Norman, the 17th
squadron is airborne.

Operations will commence
over the east central

sector at 1200 hours.

- Good.

Did you hear that?

Mark it.

Norman here.

Terrific.

Okay, talk to you later.

Northwest 27, secure.

- Northwest 27, check.

- South central 12 secure.

- Norman here.

Yeah, I hear ya.

Are you kidding?

I think it's marvelous.

It's finally working out.

- Dr. Norman, I never thought
it'd be quite that easy.

- I never had any doubts.

- St. Louis, Missouri.

Denver, Colorado

and New Orleans, Louisiana
were finally

declared killer bee
free areas as of today.

Those were the last
of the major cities

afflicted by the invasion of
the Apis Mellifera Adansonii.

It has been an outstanding
scientific triumph

for the United States.

- Here it is.

Finally.

It says they've covered all but

the last three sections in Oregon

and I got a call from John

and he said it worked
just as we'd hoped.

- Oh yeah?

- Oh yeah.

- This is very good.

Oh, Sandra.

I've been looking over these
account books of Frank's

as you told me to.

And, he left some notes here, too.

- Do you know what he meant by them?

- I think so.

Somebody has managed to rip off

a lot of money between the

Agricultural Department
and South America.

Small wonder Frank
couldn't make any progress.

- Oh, Uncle Ziggy.

If we could only prove that.

- Oh yeah, yeah.

But, we must find out who is it.

Maybe look at the cancelled checks

at the bank in Washington.

- Oh, it doesn't matter who.

I mean, let the police find that out.

It's enough for me if we
could just vindicate Franklin.

I'd like to show that we
didn't have a chance in Brazil.

- Oh yeah, I understand.

You know, I have decided to accept

that invitation to go to Washington

next week after all.

- I thought you didn't
want any honors.

- Ah, but, I have other reasons.

You know,
as the nectar attracts the bees

so as the honors attracts the money.

- Uncle Ziggy, you're getting greedy.

- But in a very good cause.

- It's for you sir.

- Hello.

- You've done an excellent job,
Dr. Norman

and I sincerely appreciate it.

And, please extend my
congratulations to Dr. Hummel.

- I surely will.

Thank you very much, Mr. President.

Good day, Mr. President.

- Oh, Uncle Ziggy.

Uncle Ziggy.

You never watch that step.

- Oh why, do they do something?

- Oh, Uncle Ziggy,
I have wonderful news.

I just got a call from John.

Well, don't you wanna
know what he has to say?

- Oh yeah, what did he have to say?

- He says that there's been no sign

of anymore adansonii anywhere.

- Ah, good.

- And,
he says he's coming back tonight

and I'm going out to
the airport to meet him.

- Oh yeah, this is good.

- Well, we may be late so

don't wait up.

- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Sandra.

Go ahead, I'll be alright.

We forgot.

Oh.

- What?

- Oh.

- Are you alright?

Uncle Ziggy, are you alright?

- Oh.

- Are you alright?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Just for a minute I thought this

there was something wrong
with this printout here.

But this is alright.

They're alright.

- Uncle Ziggy, I thought there was

something wrong with you.

- Nah.

- Oh, Uncle Ziggy.

Oh.

You know, you've been so kind.

I don't know what I
would've done without you.

- Oh,

- Oh with you,

it's no me.

- Dr. Hummel, on behalf of the
people of the United States

and I'm pleased to say that
we've been able to eliminate

the agis amiferas bolividi.

- Apis mellifera adansonii.

- Well, the killer bees.

- Thank you.

- Is it true that there's no more

threat to the United States?

- Absolutely no more threat.

We've been able to

- This is Sherie Reddick.

TV Witness News, Channel
34, Washington DC.

- Dr. Hummel, please.

- Yes.

- And, Dr. Hummel is there, is there..

- That's all there is gentlemen.

Thank you very, very much.

Thank you for coming,
certainly appreciate it.

Dr. Hummel, thank you very much.

- Excuse me, please.

I must talk to you privately.

- Certainly, won't you
step right over here.

Sit down.

- Yeah.

I have brought you this.

Some pages from the account
books of Dr. Franklin Miller.

But, if you study his notes,

you will see there was someone in

your own department who was stealing

funds from the project.

- Really?

- There is no question about it.

- Who else knows about this?

- Only my niece and Dr. Norman.

- Well,
this is a very serious situation

and it could lead to danger.

Then, I can assure you that we

will make an investigation to the end,

no matter where it leads.

- Yeah, good.

I am glad to have been of service.

Now I must return to my work.

- Well, I'm sure you have many

more important things to do, Doctor.

Thanks again for coming.

Appreciate it.

Oh, Doctor, you're forgetting this.

- Oh yeah.

My niece will want to keep this.

- Fine, thank you for calling.

Hello.

This is one of your clients.

I wanna take out a contract
with some of your people.

I want the very best available.

- Is it clear?

- Yes.

- I'm gonna crawl over the wall.

- Give me your luggage.

Come In.

Let me look at you.

I just wanna look at you.

- I missed you.

- No, I wanna look at you.

- I really love you, Sandra.

- Be quiet.

Sandra?

- That's him, McGrout.

Kill him.

Finish him off.

We'll wait for the others.

- Hey John.

Do you hear that?

- Yeah,
the bees are out of their hives.

- Well, at night?

I mean, that's not normal.

- Something's wrong.

Christ.

- Uncle Ziggy.

Uncle Ziggy?

- Ziggy.

- What happened?

- Ziggy?

Ziggy?

- Uncle Ziggy.

Oh my god.

Oh god, careful.
- Let me look.

Christ.

I'll call an ambulance.

The line's dead.

We, we better get him to the car.

- We can't carry him out.

- I'll roll him.

- Roll him.

Careful, careful.

He's hurt awfully bad, John.

- It's useless.

I have too much blood loss.

Please, listen to me.

- Who did this to you, Ziggy?

- It doesn't matter.

They know.

- Who are they?

- The bees.

They know everything.

They are a new species.

They're too smart for the pherones.

It's all in the tapes, Sandra.

It's ironic.

They can think like men.

They can think.

Think like a man.

But, they need your help.

You will not fail them?

- I won't fail them.

- Where are you?

Auf wiedersehen.

- Oh, John.

Oh, Uncle Ziggy.

Uncle Ziggy.

- Get down.

- Liz, good morning.

What are you doing?

- Mr. Brennan, there's a bee in here

and I can't seem to get it out.

- Possibly likes your perfume.

- There it goes finally.

Just like it saw you and flew away.

- Are there any messages?

- On your desk.

Is there anything else
I can do for you?

- Not right now, dear.

I have to make a private call,
alright.

Hello, this is your client.

Why haven't I heard from you?

Look, I have a contract.

I want it to be taken care of
immediately.

- Just weeks after it was thought

there were no more killer bees,

Chicago, Houston, Detroit,
San Francisco

and Philadelphia were
declared disaster areas.

This is the worse outburst
of the plague.

It seems to be completely
out of control.

Stay tuned to your
emergency broadcasting

station regarding security measures

and please keep your family
and pets indoors at all times.

- Tell them that this is the
strongest concentrate

we can prepare.

- Excuse me, Doctor.

Do these blow up?

- No, they won't explode but you

must be very careful with the fumes.

Keep your windows down.

Okay, rush 'em off to the base.

- What the bloody hell is going on?

- I don't know, Doctor.

- Florida central.

Get me Dr. Norman.

- Yes, this is John.

I know what's happening.

The pherone isn't working.

- There's
gotta be an explanation.

- There's been a mutation.

A new strain and

well, it's out of control.

- You mean those bees have
become immune to the pherone?

- I really don't know.

Hummel is dead and there doesn't

seem to be anything we
can do against them.

- Well, why the hell aren't you here?

- Because we're trying to decipher

the language patterns of the bees.

- You're doing what?

Are you mad?

You mean you want us to conduct

peace negotiations with bugs?

- Either that
or you can consider praying.

Let's give it one more trial.

- You are a glutton.

I'm tired.

- How did they get...

Look, I...

What is,
what is the sound they're making?

It's different.

What's it?

We better make a run for it.

They'll kill us.

Move slowly.

I don't think they're gonna harm us.

You okay?

Let's get outta here.

Dr. Hummel said you can think.

We believe it.

- We've been covering the material

but we haven't been able
to decipher your language.

- We'll keep trying.

We'll keep trying.

At various times
during the long history

of the Earth, when
sudden change threatened

the delicate balance of nature,

nature always attempted
to correct this imbalance

by evolving new
and higher forms of life

which could adapt to the new
threatening circumstances.

The forms of life which
could not adapt

mercilessly were made extinct.

Now,
as never before in our long history,

the Earth is being threatened
by mankind.

By ourselves.

By our destruction of the environment

and our pollution of the atmosphere.

And, so once again,
nature is reacting.

This time attempting to defend itself

against man's unrestrained tampering

and the chosen instrument
of this defense

is this new species of killer bee

created by some electronically

stimulated genetic mutation.

The late Dr. Hummel's research

has given us ample evidence that

this species has evolved beyond

it's ordinary habitual
and instinctual concerns

and patterns
and is capable of reasoning.

Furthermore,

this species has established
meaningful

and serious communication
with my colleague,

Mrs. Miller and myself.

- Good lord, this chap's gone
completely raging bonkers.

- No sir.

They have communicated a warning

that unless we stop
abusing their environment

that they will eliminate
mankind from it completely.

- Thank you, Dr. Norman.

That was a most interesting
presentation.

The committee will consider
it for it's next agenda.

- There's nothing to consider.

This is an ultimatum.

Either we share this world
with them on their terms

or we vanish as a species.

- Please, Doctor.

We've invited you here as a courtesy

to the memory of the late Dr. Hummel.

But, now we have important business.

Would you mind

- You're not listening to me.

Would you kindly listen to me

and try to understand
what I'm telling you?

Please believe me.

- You have to listen.

You have to listen what
the bees have to say.

- Sorry, Doctor, we have to
have you removed from this room.

Please, don't give any difficulties.

Don't make any trouble.

- You don't know what trouble is yet.

- You fools, you idiots.

Now you leave them no choice.

- They won't harm you.

Stay where you are.

Now listen.

There are approximately 20 trillion

of these bees in existence.

And, they're multiplying at
a rate of five million a day.

From now on, they will dominate

the Earth equally with mankind

or without mankind depending on

whether or not we accept their terms.

I know you will accept.

There's no other way to survive.
