1
00:03:02,262 --> 00:03:04,389
This is one story
I may not get to file in person,

2
00:03:04,464 --> 00:03:08,798
so I'll have to talk fast
because it's after me.

3
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:11,269
Claustrophobia has long been part
of the human experience,

4
00:03:11,338 --> 00:03:14,205
from the Cro-Magnon
all the way up to Freud.

5
00:03:14,274 --> 00:03:18,472
So if you ever happen to find yourself
underground, and I mean deep underground,

6
00:03:20,614 --> 00:03:22,639
don't linger in the shadows.

7
00:03:48,675 --> 00:03:50,609
April 20, 3:30 p. m.

8
00:03:50,677 --> 00:03:53,805
Dr. James Verhyden,
three Ph. D. 's in geology...

9
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440
and well-known seismic expert,

10
00:03:56,516 --> 00:03:58,450
was poking around
in an undeveloped tunnel...

11
00:03:58,518 --> 00:04:01,783
of the underground
Merrymount Archive mine complex.

12
00:04:01,855 --> 00:04:05,018
Verhyden knew instantly
he had found something extraordinary.

13
00:04:05,091 --> 00:04:07,753
So did his tool packer,
Howard Kimper.

14
00:04:07,827 --> 00:04:10,227
Howard, hand me the pick.

15
00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:19,939
Power, can you get it up?

16
00:05:10,857 --> 00:05:13,519
Howard Kimper was a good worker.
He did what he was told.

17
00:05:13,593 --> 00:05:16,653
At least that's what people would say
about him at his funeral.

18
00:06:05,612 --> 00:06:08,376
10:00 a. m., one day after
the death of Howard Kimper,

19
00:06:08,448 --> 00:06:12,316
in the same underground complex,
only this time Sector "M. '"

20
00:06:12,385 --> 00:06:16,412
Business as usual, all except for
journeyman electrician Larry Coogan.

21
00:06:16,489 --> 00:06:20,516
Coogan had complained to his friends that
he didn't like working so far underground.

22
00:06:20,593 --> 00:06:22,686
He said it felt like
working a tomb.

23
00:06:22,762 --> 00:06:24,696
Today he would learn
how right he was.

24
00:06:54,394 --> 00:06:57,830
Detective in charge of the case
was Lieutenant Irene Lamont.

25
00:06:57,897 --> 00:07:01,230
She was a fast riser, a one-woman
phenomenon of the Chicago P.D.

26
00:07:01,301 --> 00:07:06,170
Her detractors said Irene's success was owed
only to her looks and her alluring femininity.

27
00:07:06,239 --> 00:07:09,174
Her supporters were usually
too moonstruck to say anything.

28
00:07:09,242 --> 00:07:12,973
Lieutenant Lamont, why are you
holding back details on this death?

29
00:07:13,046 --> 00:07:17,483
Lieutenant?
Oh, Brian, why so formal?

30
00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:21,884
Well, Irene, it's just the department's
attitude is hard to understand on this.

31
00:07:21,955 --> 00:07:25,618
You haven't answered
the man's question yet, Lieutenant.

32
00:07:25,692 --> 00:07:29,924
Just what is the police department's involvement
with routine industrial accidents anyway?

33
00:07:29,996 --> 00:07:31,827
Routine investigation, Ed.

34
00:07:31,898 --> 00:07:34,423
Everything's routine around here,
Lieutenant. You're getting in a rut.

35
00:07:34,501 --> 00:07:36,765
Oh, not me, Carl.
No, speak for yourself.

36
00:07:36,836 --> 00:07:40,203
Hey, listen, fellas. My desk is
piled high with work in there.

37
00:07:40,273 --> 00:07:42,264
If I don't get to it, they're
gonna boot me back to Traffic.

38
00:07:42,342 --> 00:07:44,276
Now would you really
want that to happen?

39
00:07:44,344 --> 00:07:47,108
Hate to see you back in uniform,
if that's what you mean, Irene.

40
00:07:47,180 --> 00:07:49,410
Thanks, Ed.

41
00:07:49,482 --> 00:07:52,645
Oh, you-you schnooks.

42
00:07:52,719 --> 00:07:54,846
Hey, ease up on her, Kolchak.
She's just doing her job.

43
00:07:54,921 --> 00:07:57,219
Yeah, sure, yeah.
So was Adolf Eichmann.

44
00:07:57,290 --> 00:08:00,020
Listen, Kolchak.
I'd like to take the lady out.

45
00:08:00,093 --> 00:08:02,789
You do anything
to bring her down on reporters,

46
00:08:02,862 --> 00:08:06,263
you'll have to send away for
mail-order teeth. You dummy.

47
00:08:06,332 --> 00:08:09,699
Dum-dums.
Dum-dums. Mm-hmm.

48
00:08:14,107 --> 00:08:17,167
All right, Lieutenant,
let's talk turkey. Now-

49
00:08:17,243 --> 00:08:20,212
Carl, I like ya.
I really do.

50
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,408
I mean, I like your style.
I like your savoir faire.

51
00:08:23,483 --> 00:08:26,281
I like your directness, the
way you take over a situation.

52
00:08:26,352 --> 00:08:28,718
I even like the way you dress.
Yeah, yeah, okay, but?

53
00:08:28,788 --> 00:08:33,248
But we've got nothing to
talk about. Okay, Irene.

54
00:08:33,326 --> 00:08:35,260
I like you too.

55
00:08:35,328 --> 00:08:40,356
I like your nose and your eyes
and your earlobes and all of that. Okay?

56
00:08:40,433 --> 00:08:43,095
So, now because we like
each other so much,

57
00:08:43,169 --> 00:08:45,603
why don't you elucidate the rumor
that I have heard...

58
00:08:45,672 --> 00:08:48,732
about you not allowing the relatives
to identify the bodies.

59
00:08:48,808 --> 00:08:52,471
There you go. You see,
that's how rumors get started.

60
00:08:52,545 --> 00:08:56,174
Now, in fact, we had identified the
bodies from the I.D. They were carrying.

61
00:08:56,249 --> 00:08:58,183
We didn't forbid the relatives
from seeing the bodies.

62
00:08:58,251 --> 00:09:01,277
It's just that they were, well,
they were so badly mangled...

63
00:09:01,354 --> 00:09:06,519
that we thought we would, well, save
them all that misery and anguish.

64
00:09:06,593 --> 00:09:08,527
Yeah.

65
00:09:08,595 --> 00:09:13,123
Why haven't you told us anything about the way
they were killed or what the accidents were? What?

66
00:09:13,199 --> 00:09:17,966
Carl, when you're dealing with
the Merrymount Archive Corporation-

67
00:09:18,037 --> 00:09:21,370
Yeah? Well, there are
very special problems.

68
00:09:21,441 --> 00:09:24,001
I mean, they store
corporate records.

69
00:09:24,077 --> 00:09:28,275
They even store records for
the federal government. Uh-huh.

70
00:09:28,348 --> 00:09:33,615
I mean, now we are just following
ordinary security precautions.

71
00:09:33,686 --> 00:09:38,385
Oh. Well, what ordinary security
precautions? What? Whose?

72
00:09:38,458 --> 00:09:42,861
Carl, I really am terribly busy, and I can't go
into it now. I have an awful lot of things to do.

73
00:09:42,929 --> 00:09:45,625
Yeah, yeah, right, right, you're gonna be
late for the autopsy report on the electrician.

74
00:09:45,698 --> 00:09:47,131
Right?
Right.

75
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,168
Carl!

76
00:10:39,652 --> 00:10:42,246
Autopsy on Lawrence Earl Coogan.

77
00:10:42,322 --> 00:10:46,759
Conducted by Lamar Beckwith.
Assisted by Drs. Gordon, Phillips.

78
00:10:46,826 --> 00:10:48,760
Dr., uh-

79
00:10:48,828 --> 00:10:51,592
Uh, Kolchakovsky.

80
00:10:51,664 --> 00:10:53,859
I am new here.
I just transferred from Interlaken.

81
00:10:53,933 --> 00:10:57,562
I was... told to come down
and observe your procedures.

82
00:10:57,637 --> 00:11:02,404
Doctor, why are you wearing
a mask? I have a cold.

83
00:11:02,475 --> 00:11:07,469
Please step back a little. I'm very
susceptible. Yes, of course. Certainly.

84
00:11:11,684 --> 00:11:14,847
Length of body,
71 inches and three-quarters.

85
00:11:25,865 --> 00:11:28,993
Well, it looks like our dear coroner
wants a little privacy.

86
00:11:30,236 --> 00:11:33,831
Mm. Just like the first man.

87
00:11:33,906 --> 00:11:37,967
Deep puncture marks, like
- like teeth. Teeth. Did you say teeth?

88
00:11:38,044 --> 00:11:41,707
Yes, teeth.
And not dog's teeth either.

89
00:11:41,781 --> 00:11:46,047
These teeth marks are not those
of a mammal but of a reptile.

90
00:11:46,119 --> 00:11:48,587
This man was bitten to death
by a crocodile?

91
00:11:51,424 --> 00:11:54,689
Well, it's Wednesday. I think I'll go out
on the golf course and hit a bucket of balls.

92
00:11:54,761 --> 00:11:56,820
Thank you, gentlemen,
for your assistance.

93
00:12:35,768 --> 00:12:37,702
Merrymount Archive Incorporated...

94
00:12:37,770 --> 00:12:40,238
was really two miles
below the welcome mat.

95
00:12:40,306 --> 00:12:43,002
Acre upon acre
of underground storage vaults,

96
00:12:43,076 --> 00:12:47,376
packed with computer tapes bearing
corporate records from three continents.

97
00:12:47,447 --> 00:12:50,644
"Preservation through perpetuity'"
was the company motto.

98
00:12:50,716 --> 00:12:53,879
Uh, excuse me.
Can I help you, sir?

99
00:12:53,953 --> 00:12:56,888
Well, I certainly hope so, yes. My company's
interested in leasing storage space here.

100
00:12:56,956 --> 00:12:59,516
How soon could I get an estimate? I've
gotta catch the 5:00 plane for Winnipeg.

101
00:12:59,592 --> 00:13:03,426
Well, we can see to it that you catch
that big bird with plenty of time to spare.

102
00:13:03,496 --> 00:13:05,430
Splendid.
I'm Jack Flaherty.

103
00:13:05,498 --> 00:13:07,898
I'm the vice president and
general sales manager. Uh-huh.

104
00:13:07,967 --> 00:13:11,494
What did you say the name of your firm
was? International Nickel Syndicate.

105
00:13:11,571 --> 00:13:14,870
I.N.S. It's Carl Kolchak. I don't
think I've ever heard of that firm.

106
00:13:14,941 --> 00:13:18,843
Well, we're a new, young, growing
cartel. I just got in from Santiago.

107
00:13:18,911 --> 00:13:23,712
Well, precious metals do command quite a bit of
respect these days. Yes, yes. Aren't we going down?

108
00:13:23,783 --> 00:13:28,243
Oh, well, I'll tell you, Mr. Kolchak.
This is a very bad day for us.

109
00:13:28,321 --> 00:13:30,346
You see, we're opening up
a new sector, and it's quite-

110
00:13:30,423 --> 00:13:34,723
Jack, I said I'm in a very big rush.
I told you I just got in from Santiago.

111
00:13:34,794 --> 00:13:38,252
I've gotta get up to Winnipeg, and then I go on
from there to Hangzhou and then back to Albuquerque.

112
00:13:38,331 --> 00:13:41,596
Yes, but I'll tell you, Mr. Kolchak.
I can give you an estimate.

113
00:13:41,667 --> 00:13:44,261
You see? And then you could see
the facilities another time.

114
00:13:44,337 --> 00:13:46,271
Well, there is no other time,
unfortunately, you see.

115
00:13:46,339 --> 00:13:48,500
It doesn't matter though. You gotta
break eggs in order to make an omelet.

116
00:13:48,574 --> 00:13:50,508
Come on, Jack.

117
00:13:53,613 --> 00:13:56,173
You better brace yourself.

118
00:13:56,249 --> 00:13:59,047
We're descending at the rate
of 200 feet per second, Mr. Kolchak.

119
00:13:59,118 --> 00:14:02,315
Uh, Carl, Carl. Don't tell me,
tell my stomach, Mr. Flaherty.

120
00:14:02,388 --> 00:14:04,982
Oh, you can call meJack.
Jack? Jack.

121
00:14:07,527 --> 00:14:10,928
Well, you'll be glad to know we've reached
the 10,000-foot level. We're decelerating.

122
00:14:10,997 --> 00:14:13,261
Ten thousand feet.
Mm.

123
00:14:13,332 --> 00:14:16,165
You know, the services that we can
offer you, Carl, are quite varied.

124
00:14:16,235 --> 00:14:19,227
Huh. You see, we have the
conventional microdot storage.

125
00:14:19,305 --> 00:14:22,297
Mm-hmm. And the magnetic
tape in our computer banks.

126
00:14:22,375 --> 00:14:25,344
We even have the more advanced
space-saving magnetic disks.

127
00:14:25,411 --> 00:14:27,675
Oh, really. That's terrific.
We can use all of it. All of it.

128
00:14:27,747 --> 00:14:29,612
All right. Oh.

129
00:14:31,484 --> 00:14:34,078
You'll find our facilities here
are quakeproof, floodproof...

130
00:14:34,153 --> 00:14:36,178
and could even withstand
nuclear holocausts.

131
00:14:36,255 --> 00:14:38,416
Oh, yeah, you mean when
everything turns to glass upstairs,

132
00:14:38,491 --> 00:14:41,358
Ma Bell will still be able to tell us
what our phone bill is, huh? That's right.

133
00:14:41,427 --> 00:14:45,989
Well, Mr. Flaherty, how do you
like it, huh? Like what, Chapman?

134
00:14:46,065 --> 00:14:49,057
Oh, you haven't answered
your phone messages lately, huh?

135
00:14:49,135 --> 00:14:53,765
Well, when you do, you'll find there's
a call in from our union liaison man.

136
00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:56,069
Look, me and my men
ain't gonna work down in this place...

137
00:14:56,142 --> 00:14:59,475
the way things have been going on,
unless we get extra compensation.

138
00:14:59,545 --> 00:15:03,276
That's fine, Chapman, but I don't think
that this is the time or the place...

139
00:15:03,349 --> 00:15:05,681
to discuss
union-management relations.

140
00:15:05,751 --> 00:15:10,450
Yeah, that's fine. Wait till
you hear our package of demands.

141
00:15:13,659 --> 00:15:17,459
It's this recession. It's got
everybody in a bad mood. What recession?

142
00:15:31,978 --> 00:15:37,075
That looks like Kolchak's
yellow submarine.

143
00:15:37,149 --> 00:15:39,083
Come on.

144
00:16:02,408 --> 00:16:05,172
Did a guy come in here wearing
a seersucker suit with red hair?

145
00:16:05,244 --> 00:16:10,409
There was a Mr. Kolchak. I believe he
was with a nickel firm in New Mexico.

146
00:16:10,483 --> 00:16:15,580
He's got nothing to do with nickel. He's
the proverbial bad penny. Now, where is he?

147
00:16:17,156 --> 00:16:20,489
You name it, we store it.
Everything from the family jewels...

148
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:23,824
to corporate tax records
to private property deeds.

149
00:16:23,896 --> 00:16:26,228
And it's all handled
in the strictest of confidence.

150
00:16:26,299 --> 00:16:29,791
Yeah, speaking of confidence, uh, I
heard you had a little trouble down here.

151
00:16:29,869 --> 00:16:32,394
Oh, yes, very unfortunate.

152
00:16:32,471 --> 00:16:35,463
However, I'm not at liberty to discuss
it. You know, insurance regulations.

153
00:16:35,541 --> 00:16:38,339
Yeah, but I hear a man was killed.
I mean, mauled badly.

154
00:16:38,411 --> 00:16:41,437
Yes, well, in an operation
of this sort, Carl,

155
00:16:41,514 --> 00:16:44,347
one has to expect
one or two industrial accidents.

156
00:16:44,417 --> 00:16:48,615
Yes, of course, certainly.
Uh, what's down there, huh?

157
00:16:48,688 --> 00:16:51,213
Oh, j-just some more data.

158
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:54,418
You see, some of our clients
desire optimum security.

159
00:16:54,493 --> 00:16:58,259
Oh, your client's a tall fella with a
tall white hat and stars and stripes...

160
00:16:58,331 --> 00:17:00,697
and a white beard named Sam?

161
00:17:00,766 --> 00:17:04,065
Boy, you are astute, Carl.
So are you, Jack.

162
00:17:04,136 --> 00:17:06,798
Why don't you come on over here
and I'll show you our nerve center?

163
00:17:06,872 --> 00:17:10,569
I've been asking for it
till I'm blue in the face.

164
00:17:10,643 --> 00:17:13,134
It's gonna be Utah
all over again.

165
00:17:13,212 --> 00:17:17,649
Did I ever- Did I ever tell you
what happened to me in Utah?

166
00:17:17,717 --> 00:17:21,278
- Only a few times.
- Well, he just doesn't underst-

167
00:17:21,354 --> 00:17:26,155
Oh, this is it. Well, speak of
the devil, and he shall appear.

168
00:17:26,225 --> 00:17:30,093
Just when do I get my locks
changed on my office and storeroom?

169
00:17:30,162 --> 00:17:32,960
Now I put the working order in.
I'm doing everything I can.

170
00:17:33,032 --> 00:17:34,966
Don't you think you're
just being a little oversensitive?

171
00:17:35,034 --> 00:17:37,935
Paranoid?
I said oversensitive.

172
00:17:38,003 --> 00:17:40,995
"Paranoid," is that what you're trying to say?
There are no paranoids in the Soviet Union.

173
00:17:41,073 --> 00:17:45,271
Do you know why? Because everybody there
is being watched and plotted against.

174
00:17:45,344 --> 00:17:48,142
Only the insane man feels secure.
And it's the same thing here.

175
00:17:48,214 --> 00:17:51,115
Mysterious occurrences.

176
00:17:51,183 --> 00:17:55,279
Strange people who aren't what they appear
to be. For example, just who are you?

177
00:17:55,354 --> 00:17:59,085
Dr. Verhyden, please.
This is a potential new client.

178
00:17:59,158 --> 00:18:01,251
And I am Mickey Mantle.

179
00:18:01,327 --> 00:18:03,795
You're in on this.
You're in on this.

180
00:18:03,863 --> 00:18:06,832
And if you're not,
you are a pathetic judge of character.

181
00:18:06,899 --> 00:18:08,833
Now look, I don't have to
take that from you.

182
00:18:08,901 --> 00:18:11,961
Get the locks changed
or I'll go over your head.

183
00:18:14,974 --> 00:18:16,908
I'm sorry about that.
No, no, forget it.

184
00:18:16,976 --> 00:18:20,309
I know someone almost
just like him. Who is he?

185
00:18:20,379 --> 00:18:24,509
Dr. James Verhyden,
honcho of the government seismic lab.

186
00:18:24,583 --> 00:18:29,486
This is a good place for long-range quake
readings. We're in a very stable area.

187
00:18:29,555 --> 00:18:32,683
Yes, but the question is:
Is the doctor himself stable?

188
00:18:32,758 --> 00:18:34,851
Uh, yeah.

189
00:18:34,927 --> 00:18:38,727
Say, who was he talking about when he said
that people aren't what they appear to be?

190
00:18:40,065 --> 00:18:44,627
Oh, forgive my manners.
Carl Kolchak, this is Ruth Van Galen.

191
00:18:44,703 --> 00:18:47,001
She's the director
of our data storage.

192
00:18:47,072 --> 00:18:50,041
She's gonna be putting the whole
history of your company on tape.

193
00:18:50,109 --> 00:18:54,739
No, no, she's not.
No, no, not the whole history, no.

194
00:18:54,814 --> 00:18:57,647
Let me show you some of the
hardware. Yes, yes, of course.

195
00:18:57,716 --> 00:19:00,014
Oh, the A-52.

196
00:19:00,085 --> 00:19:03,646
Yes. Yes. Oh, Jack, it's for you.

197
00:19:03,722 --> 00:19:05,656
Excuse me.
Mm, certainly.

198
00:19:05,724 --> 00:19:07,658
Topside.
Thank you.

199
00:19:07,726 --> 00:19:11,184
Yes.
Lieutenant Lamont?

200
00:19:11,263 --> 00:19:16,394
Well, I've been walking the facility
with a new customer. Put her on.

201
00:19:16,469 --> 00:19:18,403
Yes, Lieutenant,
this is Jack Flaherty.

202
00:19:18,471 --> 00:19:22,703
Well, yes, he is. As a matter
of fact, he's right here with-

203
00:19:59,712 --> 00:20:02,272
Hi there.
Mind if I sit down?

204
00:20:02,348 --> 00:20:04,839
Well, just how are your
union dealings coming along?

205
00:20:04,917 --> 00:20:07,545
Slow is how
they're coming along.

206
00:20:07,620 --> 00:20:09,918
The only thing that happens
fast around here are accidents.

207
00:20:09,989 --> 00:20:12,958
Bang, bang.
Two of them just like that.

208
00:20:13,025 --> 00:20:16,893
- What do you think caused those accidents?
- You ain't no buyer.

209
00:20:18,163 --> 00:20:21,758
You're right. You're absolutely
right. I'm down here undercover.

210
00:20:21,834 --> 00:20:26,100
Well, you're too late. I had a lot to tell you
police yesterday, but nobody ever listens to me.

211
00:20:26,171 --> 00:20:29,299
I'm not a cop. Do I look like a
cop? Then who are you? Come on.

212
00:20:29,375 --> 00:20:32,469
My name's Carl Kolchak.
I'm an insurance investigator.

213
00:20:32,545 --> 00:20:36,345
Now, if you can help me, I, uh,
I can make it worth your while.

214
00:20:36,415 --> 00:20:38,440
How do you know
how much my while is worth?

215
00:20:38,517 --> 00:20:41,953
Very good. Okay?

216
00:20:42,021 --> 00:20:44,785
I make more than that
in 10 minutes.

217
00:20:47,059 --> 00:20:49,459
How about two of'em?

218
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:56,028
All right. Now that first man to
die, uh, Kimper, was that his name?

219
00:20:56,101 --> 00:20:58,899
Yeah, exactly what happened?
Nobody really knows.

220
00:20:58,971 --> 00:21:00,996
Except that he worked
for that Dr. Verhyden.

221
00:21:01,073 --> 00:21:03,701
That eight ball.

222
00:21:03,776 --> 00:21:06,438
Yeah, that doctor does seem
to have some problems.

223
00:21:06,512 --> 00:21:09,174
My heart bleeds. Listen, I got problems
too. They're coming out of my ears.

224
00:21:09,248 --> 00:21:13,241
- Yeah, I'm sure.
- You know what the big tragedy in his life is?

225
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:17,449
No. Well, he used to
teach college, right?

226
00:21:17,523 --> 00:21:20,185
He was out in Utah,
and he uncovers these valuable rocks.

227
00:21:20,259 --> 00:21:24,525
Well, it was a feather in his cap. As
far as I'm concerned, a rock is a rock.

228
00:21:24,597 --> 00:21:28,727
Anyway, he crates these rocks, and
he's gonna send them east on a flatcar.

229
00:21:28,801 --> 00:21:33,636
Well, along comes
this other geologist,

230
00:21:33,706 --> 00:21:36,698
erases Verhyden's name
from the crates,

231
00:21:36,775 --> 00:21:41,371
puts his own name on the crates
and has them shipped back to himself.

232
00:21:41,447 --> 00:21:45,315
He gets all the credit. That's why
Verhyden goes around crying the blues.

233
00:21:45,384 --> 00:21:49,218
That's-That's- Yeah, tell me,
where was Kimper's body found?

234
00:21:49,288 --> 00:21:52,553
- Sector "R," swill hole.
- Swill hole?

235
00:21:52,625 --> 00:21:56,254
Yeah, it's a natural rock tunnel.
Hasn't been used since salt mining days.

236
00:21:56,328 --> 00:22:00,492
Couple ofhot springs down there
have caused a lot of seepage.

237
00:22:00,566 --> 00:22:04,332
They can't store their valuable
computer tapes in a steam bath.

238
00:22:04,403 --> 00:22:07,497
The electrician
- Was his name Coogan? Was he killed in Sector "R" too?

239
00:22:07,573 --> 00:22:10,406
No, his body was found
in Sector "M. '"

240
00:22:10,476 --> 00:22:13,206
- Uh-huh. And where's Sector "M"?
- Have they changed the alphabet?

241
00:22:13,278 --> 00:22:17,146
- No.
- Well, then "M" comes before "R."

242
00:22:17,216 --> 00:22:19,241
Sector "M" is on the way
to Sector "R."

243
00:22:19,318 --> 00:22:21,252
That's all.
Sure.

244
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,515
Now what?

245
00:22:23,589 --> 00:22:25,523
That phony alarm.

246
00:22:25,591 --> 00:22:28,890
They want me and my men
to go around looking for trespassers.

247
00:22:28,961 --> 00:22:32,158
You know something?
I am not in security.

248
00:22:34,233 --> 00:22:37,396
I'm gonna call the union the first thing
tomorrow morning. You mark my words.

249
00:22:37,469 --> 00:22:41,303
Yeah, excuse me. How do I get
out to Sections "M" and "R"?

250
00:22:41,373 --> 00:22:44,137
You just follow the signs,
that's all.

251
00:22:44,209 --> 00:22:46,234
But let me tell you something, buddy.

252
00:22:46,311 --> 00:22:49,041
You're a fool to go out there
without getting extra hazard pay.

253
00:22:49,114 --> 00:22:52,379
Yeah. Well, thanks a lot. It's been
very pleasant chatting with you.

254
00:22:58,257 --> 00:23:00,350
Oh, God.

255
00:23:30,823 --> 00:23:33,348
Now let me see.

256
00:23:39,798 --> 00:23:43,256
Sector S-Y.

257
00:23:43,335 --> 00:23:45,667
Sector "L."

258
00:25:02,381 --> 00:25:04,315
Ahh!

259
00:25:55,901 --> 00:25:59,894
Uh-uh, wait a minute. Okay,
Carl, come on. Come on.

260
00:25:59,972 --> 00:26:01,906
There's something out there.

261
00:26:01,974 --> 00:26:04,534
Yeah, well, it's a good thing you've
been getting some exercise, Carl,

262
00:26:04,610 --> 00:26:06,601
because there isn't much room in
the slammer. Are you listening to me?

263
00:26:06,678 --> 00:26:10,114
I said there's something out there. Uh-huh.
Well, you're under arrest, Dr. Kolchakovsky.

264
00:26:10,182 --> 00:26:12,616
Well- Under arrest for what?
Impersonating a doctor.

265
00:26:12,684 --> 00:26:16,142
I could have had you outside the morgue. And
then there's trespassing in a security area.

266
00:26:16,221 --> 00:26:19,247
I did- But are you listening to me?
What are you doing to my camera?

267
00:26:19,324 --> 00:26:21,519
Gimme those pictures.
I got pictures of it.

268
00:26:21,593 --> 00:26:26,292
Carl, this is a classified area. There are no
pictures allowed. Will you listen to me, please?

269
00:26:26,365 --> 00:26:28,959
I thought there was something suspicious
about him right from the first.

270
00:26:29,034 --> 00:26:32,299
So I figured if I went along, gave
him enough rope, he'd hang himself.

271
00:26:32,371 --> 00:26:34,271
- Oh, you did, did you?
- Yes.

272
00:26:34,339 --> 00:26:36,933
Will you listen to me, please?
We are listening, Carl.

273
00:26:37,009 --> 00:26:41,105
All right. Now this is gonna
be very hard to believe.

274
00:26:41,179 --> 00:26:43,943
It's gonna sound silly, but
there is some kind of a strange...

275
00:26:44,016 --> 00:26:47,247
reptilian lizard monster
out there.

276
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:49,184
I mean, none of us is safe.

277
00:26:49,254 --> 00:26:51,188
Carl, will you just come quietly?

278
00:26:51,256 --> 00:26:53,417
No, no, it's in Sector "M."
That's where Coogan-

279
00:26:53,492 --> 00:26:56,427
The lady asked you to leave quietly.
Me? I don't care how you go.

280
00:26:56,495 --> 00:27:00,056
Get him out of here! No, no,
now wait. Watch the shoulders.

281
00:27:00,132 --> 00:27:04,364
Mr. Flaherty, I am terribly sorry. You
won't be bothered by Kolchak anymore.

282
00:27:04,436 --> 00:27:06,370
Okay, fellas.

283
00:27:10,575 --> 00:27:15,706
All right, all right, just watch it.
You're pulling on the handcuffs.

284
00:27:15,781 --> 00:27:18,682
They're also tight.
That's the guy.

285
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:21,048
Just a second.

286
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,919
I'll take charge of this man. Merely
have one of your men sign a waiver.

287
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:27,254
It won't take any of your time
at all. Don't touch the goods.

288
00:27:27,326 --> 00:27:29,260
He's in my custody.
I keep him.

289
00:27:29,328 --> 00:27:32,388
No, he trespassed in a security area.
That's my jurisdiction.

290
00:27:32,464 --> 00:27:36,025
I already had him on a previous
count. Now let's not argue.

291
00:27:36,101 --> 00:27:40,003
Very well.
It's your responsibility.

292
00:27:41,073 --> 00:27:43,337
Hey, wait.
Who's that hardnose?

293
00:27:43,408 --> 00:27:45,501
Water department. Can't
you read? Water dep-

294
00:27:45,577 --> 00:27:48,671
They're having some problems with the pipes
downstairs. You know, because of the accident.

295
00:27:48,747 --> 00:27:51,238
Accident? That accident was
caused by one big lizard.

296
00:27:51,316 --> 00:27:54,046
What does the water department wanna
bust me for, huh? Leaky faucets? Carl-

297
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,054
Listen, you all know that something's going
on down there. Why don't you listen to me?

298
00:27:57,122 --> 00:27:59,784
Carl- That big lizard down
there was at least eight-

299
00:27:59,858 --> 00:28:03,123
Carl, have you ever been maced?

300
00:28:03,195 --> 00:28:06,028
Maced?

301
00:28:06,098 --> 00:28:08,259
No, no, I haven't actually.

302
00:28:08,333 --> 00:28:13,327
Will you-Will you stop lifting so
high, please? It hurts the arms.

303
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,080
Open up the door.
All right. All right.

304
00:28:58,150 --> 00:29:02,280
I hope you're happy. Bailing you out of jail has
released about a quart of hydrochloric acid in my gut.

305
00:29:02,354 --> 00:29:05,517
Not to mention missing lunch,
which is murder on my digestion.

306
00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:08,388
Yeah, but, Tony,
it was worth it, almost.

307
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:11,190
Listen, I got some pictures in here like you wouldn't
- Carl, Carl, Carl!

308
00:29:11,263 --> 00:29:13,231
I don't wanna hear anything more
about that giant newt.

309
00:29:13,298 --> 00:29:15,357
I want you to keep away
from the authorities at Merrymount.

310
00:29:15,434 --> 00:29:18,460
I'll rip the lid off of
this lizard creature affair.

311
00:29:18,537 --> 00:29:20,903
And I'm gonna find out who those guys
in the water department really are.

312
00:29:20,972 --> 00:29:22,906
And, you, stop talking
with your mouth full.

313
00:29:22,974 --> 00:29:26,933
Don't tell me what to do with my mouth. And what
guys are you talking about in what water department?

314
00:29:27,012 --> 00:29:30,914
Stay tuned, and you'll hear
the next installment.

315
00:29:30,982 --> 00:29:32,916
Yeah, hello.
Is Arnie Wisemore there?

316
00:29:32,984 --> 00:29:35,452
Arnie Wisemore?
Isn't he in prison?

317
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,354
No, of course not.
He's out on parole.

318
00:29:39,424 --> 00:29:42,393
Hello, Arnie?
Hey, Carl Kolchak here.

319
00:29:42,461 --> 00:29:44,929
Yeah, I got a small job
for you to do.

320
00:29:44,996 --> 00:29:48,193
No, absolutely not.

321
00:29:48,266 --> 00:29:52,430
No, look. I know he's my boss, but
I don't want you to break his arms.

322
00:29:53,472 --> 00:29:56,441
No, Arnie. All I want you
to do is deliver a package.

323
00:29:56,508 --> 00:30:00,410
Yeah, well, I can't give you the details
right now, so I'll call you a little later.

324
00:30:00,479 --> 00:30:03,846
- What did he say about me?
- Arnie? Not a thing.

325
00:30:03,915 --> 00:30:07,043
Carl, look. I don't want you to get involved with
that crumb. Just drop the whole thing right now.

326
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:09,679
Just drop the whole thing
right now. Uh-huh. Right.

327
00:30:09,754 --> 00:30:13,781
Just what did Lieutenant
Irene Lamont do to you, hmm?

328
00:30:13,859 --> 00:30:16,885
Did she run her fingers through
your hair and tousle your curls...

329
00:30:16,962 --> 00:30:18,930
and compliment you
on your aftershave lotion?

330
00:30:18,997 --> 00:30:23,024
Now don't be ridiculous. She is
a charming woman. Uh-huh, yeah.

331
00:30:23,101 --> 00:30:25,831
But this was strictly an executive
decision, based on the study of the matter.

332
00:30:25,904 --> 00:30:28,566
Based on the study of her legs,
you mean. Look, look, Carl.

333
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,734
The lieutenant and I have an
understanding like two professionals.

334
00:30:31,810 --> 00:30:36,304
I told her that I would agree to backpedal a
while, to keep you from hindering her investigation.

335
00:30:36,381 --> 00:30:39,873
And she, in turn, agreed that if
anything major happened in Merrymount,

336
00:30:39,951 --> 00:30:41,885
she would call the exclusive
directly to me.

337
00:30:41,953 --> 00:30:44,444
- To you.
- To me.

338
00:30:44,523 --> 00:30:45,615
- Not to me.
- No.

339
00:30:45,690 --> 00:30:46,782
- To you.
- Yes.

340
00:30:46,858 --> 00:30:51,158
You sucker. You better learn the tune "All Alone on
the Telephone," 'cause she ain't never gonna call.

341
00:30:51,229 --> 00:30:54,221
They've got a lid on this thing, and
I think it comes from very high up.

342
00:30:54,299 --> 00:30:56,790
If that were true, if that were the
case, she would have told me about it.

343
00:30:56,868 --> 00:30:58,028
- She would have?
- Yes.

344
00:30:58,103 --> 00:30:59,866
- You really believe that?
- I do.

345
00:30:59,938 --> 00:31:03,840
You know, I think all that bicarbonate you've
been drinking has put bubbles in your brain.

346
00:31:03,909 --> 00:31:08,471
The issue is not my intake of bicarbonate.
The issue is how you follow my directives.

347
00:31:08,547 --> 00:31:11,846
Now, I'm trying to establish a professional
working rapport with this lieutenant.

348
00:31:11,917 --> 00:31:14,283
Oh, that's what you're
- And I don't want you jeopardizing it.

349
00:31:14,352 --> 00:31:16,377
Now you've aggravated
this sweet, young woman,

350
00:31:16,454 --> 00:31:18,854
in spite of all the kindnesses
she's extended to you.

351
00:31:20,091 --> 00:31:21,786
Kindness?
Yes.

352
00:31:21,860 --> 00:31:26,422
That sweet, young woman is about
as kind as an S.S. Sturmbannfuhrer.

353
00:31:26,498 --> 00:31:29,331
Carl, listen to me! I'm leaving.
I'm going up to Merrymount!

354
00:31:29,401 --> 00:31:33,929
Vincenzo! Don't yell
like you always do.

355
00:31:34,005 --> 00:31:36,132
It'll rile your bile.

356
00:31:51,856 --> 00:31:54,120
They make lousy pets.
Hmm?

357
00:31:54,192 --> 00:31:58,720
Crocodiles. Not only won't they fetch
your slippers but they'll eat your feet.

358
00:32:01,032 --> 00:32:03,262
You know, not one of these things
stands upright like a man. Not one.

359
00:32:03,335 --> 00:32:08,204
Well, of course not. If God had
wanted crocodiles to stand upright,

360
00:32:08,273 --> 00:32:11,902
he'd have given them alligator shoes.

361
00:32:11,977 --> 00:32:16,004
Aw, come on, Kolchak,
these are the jokes.

362
00:32:16,081 --> 00:32:20,074
I used to do all the emcee work and the
stand-up comedy in the prison talent show.

363
00:32:20,151 --> 00:32:22,711
Yeah, well, I can see why they're
anxious to put you out of parole.

364
00:32:22,787 --> 00:32:26,587
I'm not talking just about crocodiles.
I'm talking about all these reptiles in here.

365
00:32:26,658 --> 00:32:29,957
I mean, there's not one
like what I saw.

366
00:32:30,028 --> 00:32:32,189
It says in here though
that some reptiles,

367
00:32:32,264 --> 00:32:36,758
you know, like sidewinder snakes,
it says that they're photophobic.

368
00:32:36,835 --> 00:32:38,769
Photophobic. It means that
they don't like the light.

369
00:32:38,837 --> 00:32:41,499
- Oh, good for them.
- Yeah.

370
00:32:41,573 --> 00:32:43,507
You ready to go?

371
00:32:43,575 --> 00:32:45,543
Yeah, yeah, sure.
You ready?

372
00:32:46,811 --> 00:32:49,405
Yeah, yeah, this is it here, huh?

373
00:32:49,481 --> 00:32:51,711
Yep. Now you're sure
this is gonna do it?

374
00:32:51,783 --> 00:32:54,047
You're questioning
my professional judgment now?

375
00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:56,553
Arnie, this is Kolchak
you're rapping with, remember?

376
00:32:56,621 --> 00:32:58,885
Kolchak?
I know your record.

377
00:32:58,957 --> 00:33:01,926
Look, that last problem with the Mexican
border would have never happened...

378
00:33:01,993 --> 00:33:05,451
if somebody would have remembered
to soundproof the hearse properly.

379
00:33:05,530 --> 00:33:09,022
And to put on lipstick.
His wig was crooked too.

380
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,864
I mean, if you're gonna
run parrots into the country,

381
00:33:11,936 --> 00:33:14,166
you gotta lay out some cash
for decent soundproofing.

382
00:33:14,239 --> 00:33:17,174
Parrots.
I'll never forget that feeling,

383
00:33:17,242 --> 00:33:20,678
when that third voice
in the back started squawking,

384
00:33:20,745 --> 00:33:22,872
"Buenos dias. Buenos dias. '"

385
00:33:24,416 --> 00:33:27,510
All right, come on. You just
make sure you get me there, right?

386
00:33:27,585 --> 00:33:30,645
Don't worry.
Watch the hat.

387
00:33:30,722 --> 00:33:33,987
You are now
a precision instrument.

388
00:35:13,291 --> 00:35:19,093
Officer, all we found up in Sector
"R'" were large agate specimens.

389
00:35:19,164 --> 00:35:23,191
Howard was fine when I left.
I saw nothing unusual.

390
00:35:23,268 --> 00:35:25,429
Well, let's just hear it one more time.

391
00:35:25,503 --> 00:35:28,063
You're the last person
to see Kimper alive.

392
00:36:07,011 --> 00:36:10,572
Phew! What stinks in here?

393
00:36:28,867 --> 00:36:32,234
What are you doing in my office? Aren't these
the strangest little rocks you've ever seen?

394
00:36:32,303 --> 00:36:34,464
Put that down.
What are they?

395
00:36:34,539 --> 00:36:37,508
It's an alloy I've been working with.
Now put it down.

396
00:36:37,575 --> 00:36:39,509
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.

397
00:36:39,577 --> 00:36:42,068
Now, you're sure this is not the agate
that you and Howard Kimper found?

398
00:36:42,146 --> 00:36:45,513
No. I'll give you 30 seconds
to leave.

399
00:36:45,583 --> 00:36:49,041
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
Did you hear something?

400
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,054
No. Now get out!

401
00:36:51,122 --> 00:36:56,253
Yeah, yeah, right, just as soon as you show me that
agate that you found, and I won't bug you anymore.

402
00:36:56,327 --> 00:36:58,727
Where do you get off
that I have to show you anything?

403
00:36:58,796 --> 00:37:00,730
I am through letting people
steal from me.

404
00:37:00,798 --> 00:37:02,925
Once on a dig in Utah,

405
00:37:03,001 --> 00:37:05,970
I slaved months to uncover
some Pleistocene strata-

406
00:37:06,037 --> 00:37:08,835
Yeah, it's all right, Doc. It's okay.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to touch you.

407
00:37:08,907 --> 00:37:12,343
Tell me, what do you think
you've got in here...

408
00:37:12,410 --> 00:37:14,742
that's so important
that somebody would wanna steal it?

409
00:37:16,915 --> 00:37:19,213
That? It can't be that.

410
00:37:20,585 --> 00:37:24,043
Say, it's funny. These seem more like
eggshells. Do these look like eggs to you?

411
00:37:24,122 --> 00:37:26,181
No! Now-

412
00:37:26,257 --> 00:37:29,920
That's funny. What do
you know about reptiles?

413
00:37:29,994 --> 00:37:33,191
Nothing. They're not in
my field. Put that down!

414
00:37:33,264 --> 00:37:36,028
Yeah, well, they're not in mine either,
but I know one when I saw one.

415
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:39,797
And I saw one. A huge one here.
Did you find these in Sector "R"?

416
00:37:39,871 --> 00:37:41,998
Now, I am tired of your questions.

417
00:37:42,073 --> 00:37:46,203
I have no desire to discuss
reptiles with you or anything else.

418
00:37:46,277 --> 00:37:48,472
And I'll have you arrested
again. Yeah, sure, sure.

419
00:37:48,546 --> 00:37:50,776
One more question, Doc,
if you don't-

420
00:37:57,889 --> 00:37:59,823
Will you get outta here?
Get out!

421
00:39:09,527 --> 00:39:13,520
You want me to open this, huh?
Uh-huh.

422
00:39:13,598 --> 00:39:17,466
You know, if all the film that I've shot
that's been confiscated by the cops...

423
00:39:17,535 --> 00:39:21,096
were laid end to end, I'd have
enough film to shoot War and Peace.

424
00:39:21,172 --> 00:39:23,606
Including a travelogue
and a cartoon.

425
00:39:23,675 --> 00:39:26,075
Again, what were you
and Verhyden talking about?

426
00:39:26,144 --> 00:39:29,602
Again? Rocks.

427
00:39:29,681 --> 00:39:33,048
Carl, if he had any information that would shed
light on this, you better start belching it up,

428
00:39:33,117 --> 00:39:36,177
or I guarantee you a graduate
degree in license plate making...

429
00:39:36,254 --> 00:39:38,245
down at the state farm.

430
00:39:38,322 --> 00:39:40,187
Whatever happened...

431
00:39:40,258 --> 00:39:44,592
to the sweet Irene Lamont
that we all know and love, hmm?

432
00:39:44,662 --> 00:39:48,496
All those poor bums down in the press department
are always singing that pretty refrain-

433
00:39:48,566 --> 00:39:52,798
Irene, Irene, the loveliest cop
I've ever seen

434
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:54,838
You don't know
how bad I can be.

435
00:39:54,906 --> 00:39:57,466
Oh, I got a pretty good idea, baby.

436
00:39:58,342 --> 00:40:01,834
Lieutenant Lamont, uh,

437
00:40:01,913 --> 00:40:04,108
if you don't mind.

438
00:40:08,086 --> 00:40:10,850
Relax, Mr. Kolchak, relax.
Cigarette?

439
00:40:10,922 --> 00:40:13,618
Uh, no, no, thanks
No, I don't smoke.

440
00:40:13,691 --> 00:40:16,717
I read
the surgeon general's report.

441
00:40:20,131 --> 00:40:24,067
Look, I don't know how long
I can hold off, Miss Lamont.

442
00:40:24,135 --> 00:40:26,296
She wants to bust you bad.

443
00:40:26,370 --> 00:40:29,203
Now I don't know why
you won't cooperate.

444
00:40:31,209 --> 00:40:34,736
Open up with me.
Open up, huh?

445
00:40:35,913 --> 00:40:37,847
Yeah, well, you see,
it's little things,

446
00:40:37,915 --> 00:40:40,907
uh, like how you've kept a lid
on all this mess, General.

447
00:40:40,985 --> 00:40:43,818
- Colonel.
- Colonel.

448
00:40:43,888 --> 00:40:47,324
You'll make general.
Yeah, you see, you're thinking...

449
00:40:47,391 --> 00:40:49,825
maybe that there's more
of these creatures around, huh?

450
00:40:49,894 --> 00:40:54,593
Maybe they'll get into your secret silos, your
underground missile and SAC bases down there.

451
00:40:54,665 --> 00:40:58,226
Maybe they have already, huh?
Well, did you ever think...

452
00:40:58,302 --> 00:41:01,703
that they might be down there in the
subways too and underground tunnels?

453
00:41:01,773 --> 00:41:04,264
And underground garages?
Did you ever think about that?

454
00:41:04,342 --> 00:41:07,072
I mean, when are you gonna warn
the general public about this?

455
00:41:07,145 --> 00:41:09,613
When we feel the time is right.

456
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,444
And who is "we"?
Hey!

457
00:41:24,462 --> 00:41:28,831
He's gone!
Check the hall.

458
00:42:27,525 --> 00:42:30,392
No, no, easy, easy.
Oh, I'm sorry.

459
00:42:30,461 --> 00:42:33,589
Well, look, did Verhyden keep
all his specimens in his lab?

460
00:42:33,664 --> 00:42:36,132
Verhyden's dead, and I'm
gettin' outta here! No, no, wait.

461
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,658
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry. No, look, Verhyden
found something the creature's after.

462
00:42:39,737 --> 00:42:41,830
And I gotta find it and take it
up topside. You're on your own!

463
00:42:41,906 --> 00:42:45,637
No, wait.
What about your hazard pay?

464
00:42:45,710 --> 00:42:47,644
Fink.

465
00:44:59,110 --> 00:45:01,135
It's an egg.

466
00:47:48,179 --> 00:47:52,377
So here I am. In a few
minutes, it'll be here too.

467
00:47:52,449 --> 00:47:57,045
If I don't make it and this tape is ever
found, you'll at least know what happened.

468
00:47:59,990 --> 00:48:03,585
My only hope
is it'll take this nest and go.

469
00:48:03,661 --> 00:48:06,494
If it won't, then good luck.

470
00:48:25,983 --> 00:48:29,180
Back! Back!

471
00:48:30,487 --> 00:48:32,512
Back!

472
00:49:17,101 --> 00:49:19,035
I know what's gonna happen now.

473
00:49:19,103 --> 00:49:23,631
As far as the authorities are concerned, the
events of April 20 and 21 will never have occurred.

474
00:49:23,707 --> 00:49:26,335
They-They're gonna tell me
that if I ever breathe a word of this,

475
00:49:26,410 --> 00:49:29,038
they're gonna break me
like a straw man.

476
00:49:29,113 --> 00:49:31,047
Now what about the sentry?

477
00:49:31,115 --> 00:49:36,382
Will its eggs hatch in the warm,
dark, dank dampness of its nesting place?

478
00:49:37,421 --> 00:49:40,982
Who knows? Maybe the government
will find the nest, maybe they won't.

479
00:49:41,058 --> 00:49:43,959
We'll probably never know.
But if you're in a subway...

480
00:49:44,028 --> 00:49:46,622
or a pedestrian tunnel
underneath a ballpark,

481
00:49:46,697 --> 00:49:50,155
and you think you hear something
moving in the walls,

482
00:49:50,234 --> 00:49:52,600
it may not be your imagination.

483
00:49:52,670 --> 00:49:57,607
Take my advice, don't walk,
run to the nearest exit.

484
00:49:57,657 --> 00:50:02,207
