3
00:01:34,677 --> 00:01:36,845
301A to car 5W, code one.

4
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,014
5W to 301A, go ahead, Johnny.

5
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:40,599
We're chasing wind, Ben.

6
00:01:40,683 --> 00:01:44,937
Maybe the guy who sent in that report
drank his breakfast. Let's call it.

7
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:47,106
Wait a minute.

8
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:11,839
It's a kid, all right.
Maybe 50 yards off the road.

9
00:02:12,423 --> 00:02:14,758
I'll keep circling her until you pick her up.

10
00:02:14,884 --> 00:02:16,718
- 10-10.
- 10-10.

11
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:43,954
Hey!

12
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:46,373
Hey, honey!

13
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:50,127
Hey, little girl. Little girl!

14
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:00,596
Wait a minute.
What are you doing out here?

15
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:04,224
Honey...

16
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,437
...what's your name?

17
00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:13,859
Who do you belong to?

18
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:32,419
Car 5W, code one.

19
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:38,300
Car 5W to 301A, go ahead.

20
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:42,846
10-9, Johnny.

21
00:03:43,306 --> 00:03:46,725
There's a trailer three miles
from you, off the road.

22
00:03:46,809 --> 00:03:50,270
I didn't see anybody around it,
you better check it out. 10-10.

23
00:03:50,438 --> 00:03:52,189
Okay, Johnny. 10-10.

24
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:57,319
- What's the matter with her?
- I don't know.

25
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:58,487
Sunstroke?

26
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:01,740
She's not sunburned.
Couldn't have been in the sun long.

27
00:04:01,824 --> 00:04:03,325
Looks like she's in shock.

28
00:04:07,372 --> 00:04:10,874
Johnny spotted a car and trailer up ahead.
Maybe she's from there.

29
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:11,750
Maybe so.

30
00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:50,080
No use waking her up unless
somebody can identify her. I'll check it.

31
00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:17,232
- What is it?
- Have a look.

32
00:05:50,641 --> 00:05:52,726
This blood must be 10 or 12 hours old.

33
00:05:53,936 --> 00:05:57,230
Whatever happened here was either
last night or early this morning.

34
00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:00,275
Check outside.

35
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,905
It was sure no traffic accident, was it?

36
00:06:47,782 --> 00:06:50,283
This wasn't caved in. It was caved out.

37
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,452
Did you find anything?

38
00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:54,663
No footprints or tire marks.

39
00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:56,498
Found this.

40
00:06:56,833 --> 00:07:00,127
I picked up just one. Six or seven more
are scattered over there.

41
00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:01,962
- Sugar.
- Yeah.

42
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,009
There's something over here
you should look at.

43
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:11,096
I don't know if it's important,
but see what you think.

44
00:07:15,268 --> 00:07:17,644
Mountain lions never come down
to the desert.

45
00:07:18,187 --> 00:07:20,689
No cat ever lived
would leave a print like that.

46
00:07:21,023 --> 00:07:22,899
Maybe something was set down there.

47
00:07:22,984 --> 00:07:25,402
A bag, or a can, something like that.

48
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:27,320
It could be almost anything.

49
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:31,283
I found these inside.

50
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:35,662
Put in a call for fingerprint
and moulage equipment, right away.

51
00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:36,788
Right.

52
00:07:40,084 --> 00:07:43,044
- Have the medics pick up the kid.
- Right.

53
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:50,635
Car 5W to KMA-628. Come in, please.

54
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,555
KMA-628 to car 5W, go ahead.

55
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:56,057
We're 12 miles north of the crossroads.

56
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,268
Halfway up the secondary road
to White Butte.

57
00:07:58,352 --> 00:08:01,271
Station wagon and house trailer
with Illinois license plates.

58
00:08:01,355 --> 00:08:04,357
They look pretty well beat up.
Looks like a 9-14.

59
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:07,235
Picked up a little girl
who seems to be in shock.

60
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,405
Send ambulance and medics.
We'll stay here till you arrive.

61
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:11,907
Anything else?

62
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,033
Ben?

63
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:15,952
10-10.

64
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:19,539
KMA-628 to 5W,
location previously reported by 301-A...

65
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:20,749
KMA-628 to 5W,
location previously reported by 301-A...

66
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:22,083
...will dispatch ambulance.

67
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,591
Hi, Reggie, how are the kids?

68
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:32,511
- Fine. Another one on the way.
- Good for you.

69
00:08:43,731 --> 00:08:45,690
- Know what happened to her?
- No.

70
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:47,567
- Don't know her name?
- No.

71
00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:49,528
Take good care of her.

72
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:54,074
Give her a nice, easy ride.
I'll be with her all the way to the hospital.

73
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:22,477
What was that?

74
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:24,479
I don't know.

75
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:29,192
It must be the wind.
It gets pretty freakish in these parts.

76
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:31,403
Yeah.

77
00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:35,073
I'll come soon.
I want to be there when she starts talking.

78
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:48,545
You know what that is, Cliff?

79
00:09:48,629 --> 00:09:50,213
I haven't the faintest idea.

80
00:09:50,298 --> 00:09:54,259
Hurry before the wind fills it in.
Looks like a sandstorm is kicking up.

81
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:57,387
- You got any idea what happened?
- No.

82
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,723
Nothing that adds up.

83
00:10:05,855 --> 00:10:07,772
How old you figure that kid is?

84
00:10:07,898 --> 00:10:09,482
Five or six.

85
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,068
Tough break for her.

86
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:14,446
They don't need us right now.

87
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:17,616
Let's go down to Gramps Johnson's store
and see what he knows.

88
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:03,119
Gramps?

89
00:11:05,122 --> 00:11:06,498
Gramps!

90
00:11:47,123 --> 00:11:48,540
Beats me.

91
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,626
Look, Ed, put in a call....

92
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:54,713
Wait a minute.

93
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,621
Gramps.

94
00:12:29,331 --> 00:12:31,833
Looks like he was dragged
and thrown down there.

95
00:12:51,937 --> 00:12:55,231
- What do you make of it?
- What did you make of the trailer?

96
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:59,652
This wasn't pushed in, it was pulled out.
Just like at the trailer.

97
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:02,405
Ben, have a look at this.

98
00:13:03,407 --> 00:13:04,449
Sugar.

99
00:13:27,306 --> 00:13:29,390
Money wasn't taken here either.

100
00:13:29,892 --> 00:13:33,394
This is another 9-14.
I'll call for the guys at the trailer to come.

101
00:13:33,395 --> 00:13:34,479
This is another 9-14.
I'll call for the guys at the trailer to come.

102
00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:37,273
I want to be at headquarters
when the girl talks.

103
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:39,275
I'll stick around and ride with them.

104
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:41,694
- Okay. Stay loose.
- Sure.

105
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:06,195
With all this, we only know
the car and trailer was owned by...

106
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,656
...a man named Alan Elinson from Chicago.

107
00:15:08,782 --> 00:15:10,283
Yeah, that's all.

108
00:15:10,534 --> 00:15:14,871
Stop blaming yourself for what happened
to Ed Blackburn. It wasn't your fault.

109
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:18,166
Somebody had to stay at Johnson's place,
so it happened to be Ed.

110
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:19,292
Yeah, I know.

111
00:15:19,376 --> 00:15:22,879
We'll find out who killed him, if he's dead,
along with Gramps and the Elinson family.

112
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,088
We'll find out who killed him, if he's dead,
along with Gramps and the Elinson family.

113
00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:25,340
So come off it.

114
00:15:26,091 --> 00:15:30,261
We'll get a report on the fingerprints
some time this morning. It'll tell us more.

115
00:15:31,555 --> 00:15:34,265
- Have you figured out what this print is?
- No.

116
00:15:34,683 --> 00:15:35,892
Great.

117
00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:40,396
Kit, run down
all Gramps' personal stuff and records.

118
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:44,609
I don't think he had an enemy in the world,
but somebody might have....

119
00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:46,778
No, wait, that doesn't make sense.

120
00:15:47,488 --> 00:15:51,532
If somebody wanted to knock off Gramps
why tear down half the building to do it?

121
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:56,079
I put in a call to check out
all the mental institutions.

122
00:15:56,163 --> 00:15:58,706
Everything seems to indicate
a homicidal maniac.

123
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:02,835
There's no money stolen,
violent wreckage. Just sugar taken.

124
00:16:02,836 --> 00:16:03,878
There's no money stolen,
violent wreckage. Just sugar taken.

125
00:16:04,254 --> 00:16:06,965
That's being checked,
but it's a waste of time, too.

126
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:10,426
We'd have been notified
if there was a loony killer on the loose.

127
00:16:10,928 --> 00:16:14,430
Gramps got off four shots from his 30-30
before the killer did this to the gun.

128
00:16:14,431 --> 00:16:15,640
Gramps got off four shots from his 30-30
before the killer did this to the gun.

129
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:20,144
And Blackburn was a crack shot.
He could hit anything he could see.

130
00:16:20,688 --> 00:16:23,272
Unless your maniac
was armored like a battleship...

131
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:25,066
...there's no maniac in this case.

132
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,401
Yeah, you're right.

133
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:29,487
I want every available man
scouting the desert.

134
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:33,241
If our two planes aren't enough
to cover areas the cars can't reach...

135
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:36,703
...I'll ask permission from the chief
to hire a couple more.

136
00:16:37,788 --> 00:16:42,125
Ben, get yourself something to eat
and grab some sleep.

137
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:46,045
I don't want you wearing yourself out
so you'll fold up on us.

138
00:16:46,171 --> 00:16:47,922
- I've a little score to settle.
- We all have.

139
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:51,426
- Report from Washington, Captain.
- All right, thanks.

140
00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:55,763
Fingerprints on the trailer
check out real good.

141
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:59,350
Mr. Elinson was an FBI agent on vacation
with his wife and two children.

142
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:00,435
Mr. Elinson was an FBI agent on vacation
with his wife and two children.

143
00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:04,689
Call the local FBI office.
They've got a stake in this case, now.

144
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:08,317
Tell them Mr. Elinson's vacation
has been extended indefinitely.

145
00:17:09,570 --> 00:17:11,946
It's nice to get off that desert.

146
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:14,949
- It must have been 110 out there today.
- At least.

147
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:18,703
Captain Edwards...

148
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:21,831
...this is Robert Graham
from the FBI office in Alamogordo.

149
00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:24,250
- How do you do?
- Sit down.

150
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:27,211
Ben here bring you up to date
on this business?

151
00:17:27,296 --> 00:17:30,965
Yes, sir, we went over these exhibits
before we left for the desert.

152
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:34,218
I took him to where we found the trailer
and to Johnson's store.

153
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:35,887
We've been there all day. Nothing.

154
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:37,889
Any ideas, Mr. Graham?

155
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:39,807
None that make any sense.

156
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:43,686
I thought you FBI guys were all Quiz Kids,
solved everything right away.

157
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:46,064
I did, too, when I applied for the job.

158
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,316
The planes and cars
haven't found anything.

159
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,403
Give them time. People don't just drop off
the face of the Earth without a trace.

160
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:53,696
We'll find them.

161
00:17:55,115 --> 00:17:56,783
You know what that is?

162
00:17:57,367 --> 00:18:00,036
It beats me. Has it been identified yet?

163
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:03,623
No, an officer took it to a friend
who teaches zoology at the college.

164
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:04,916
No, an officer took it to a friend
who teaches zoology at the college.

165
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:07,418
He said he'd never seen anything like it.

166
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,671
Lots of evidence, loaded with clues,
but nothing adds up.

167
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:13,800
The Elinson girl is our only real bet.
Any news on her?

168
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:16,677
No change. I checked with the hospital
a half-hour ago.

169
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:20,431
I'd like to send this
to our Washington bureau.

170
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:22,517
They might be able to identify it.

171
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:24,227
Or prove that it's nothing.

172
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:25,478
All right with me.

173
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:27,855
Come in.

174
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:30,858
- Hello, Fred. Glad to see you, Ben.
- Hi, Doc, how are you?

175
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:32,401
You two know each other?

176
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:34,153
I don't believe so.

177
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:37,490
Dr. Putnam, County Medical Officer.
Robert Graham.

178
00:18:37,574 --> 00:18:40,618
- He's with the FBI. Watch your language.
- I will.

179
00:18:41,703 --> 00:18:45,248
I finished the autopsy on Gramps.
You want it technical or plain?

180
00:18:45,332 --> 00:18:47,333
Just plain, Doc. Get to the verb.

181
00:18:47,876 --> 00:18:51,003
Old man Johnson could have died
in any one of five ways:

182
00:18:51,713 --> 00:18:55,216
His neck and back were broken,
his chest crushed, his skull fractured...

183
00:18:55,217 --> 00:18:56,300
His neck and back were broken,
his chest crushed, his skull fractured...

184
00:18:56,718 --> 00:18:58,719
...and here's one for Sherlock Holmes:

185
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,097
There was enough formic acid in him
to kill 20 men.

186
00:19:15,445 --> 00:19:17,738
I still don't get this.

187
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:21,868
Doctors Medford, two of them.
Department of Agriculture.

188
00:19:22,619 --> 00:19:25,663
You sent that cast
to your outfit in Washington, didn't you?

189
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:26,622
Yeah.

190
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:29,208
Does this mean
that somebody has identified it?

191
00:19:29,293 --> 00:19:30,501
I don't know.

192
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,712
- Great.
- Pardon me, sir.

193
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,464
The plane has landed. It'll load over there.

194
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:36,674
Thanks.

195
00:19:42,806 --> 00:19:44,265
- Got a match?
- Yeah.

196
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:18,591
Okay, thank you.

197
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:22,887
Dr. Medford?

198
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:24,639
Are you Dr. Medford?

199
00:20:24,723 --> 00:20:26,599
Yes, yes. No need to shout.

200
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:30,269
You're the people.
They said you'd meet us.

201
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:31,437
That's right.

202
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:33,272
I'm Bob Graham.

203
00:20:33,357 --> 00:20:35,942
- How do you do?
- This is Sgt. Ben Peterson.

204
00:20:36,818 --> 00:20:39,820
- You're the one who found the print?
- Yeah, that's right.

205
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:42,907
Pat, hurry up.

206
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:44,575
I'm caught.

207
00:20:46,328 --> 00:20:48,871
- Can I help?
- No, I can manage it.

208
00:20:58,382 --> 00:21:01,133
This is the other Dr. Medford,
my daughter, Patricia.

209
00:21:01,218 --> 00:21:03,803
This is the man who found the print.
Sergeant....

210
00:21:03,887 --> 00:21:05,846
- Ben Peterson.
- How do you do?

211
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,890
Then you must be Mr. Robert Graham.

212
00:21:07,975 --> 00:21:09,684
- Yes, how do you do?
- Hello.

213
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:11,936
We've got a car to take you to the hotel.

214
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:13,813
That can wait. We have work to do.

215
00:21:13,897 --> 00:21:16,732
I want to read all your reports right away.
Come on, Pat.

216
00:21:16,817 --> 00:21:18,025
Excuse me, sir.

217
00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:21,737
I should have had this suit pressed.

218
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:23,614
She's quite a doctor.

219
00:21:23,699 --> 00:21:27,368
If she takes care of sick people,
I think I'll get a fever real quick.

220
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:31,247
This is where
the car and trailer were found.

221
00:21:31,331 --> 00:21:34,041
Twelve miles down this road
is the Johnson store.

222
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:35,459
Thank you.

223
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:42,591
Why did the FBI send that print
to the Department of Agriculture?

224
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:45,136
They weren't able to identify it.

225
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:49,682
- You only found one print?
- That's right, miss.

226
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:51,183
Have you identified it?

227
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:55,104
The Medical Officer's report on Johnson
suggests we were certainly wrong...

228
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:58,691
...to even consider this might be a hoax.
Read that, Doctor.

229
00:22:00,235 --> 00:22:01,235
Tell me...

230
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,822
...in what area was the atomic bomb
exploded, the first one, back in 1945?

231
00:22:04,823 --> 00:22:06,490
...in what area was the atomic bomb
exploded, the first one, back in 1945?

232
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:09,827
Right here in this same general area.
White Sands.

233
00:22:14,207 --> 00:22:17,251
1945. That's nine years ago.

234
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:21,005
Genetically, it's certainly possible.

235
00:22:21,798 --> 00:22:25,301
We're grown up. There's no need
to play footsie with us. We resent it.

236
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:26,385
We're grown up. There's no need
to play footsie with us. We resent it.

237
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:29,638
If you know what this thing is, Doctor,
I suggest you tell us.

238
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,432
We're assigned to this case, too.

239
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:35,561
Mr. Graham, we cannot tell you
until we're certain of our theory.

240
00:22:36,063 --> 00:22:40,316
I'd like to first stop off at the drug store
and then see the Elinson girl.

241
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,985
She's still in shock, Doctor.
She hasn't talked yet.

242
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:47,239
After the girl, I want to examine
the territory where you found the print.

243
00:22:54,998 --> 00:22:56,248
You were saying?

244
00:22:56,416 --> 00:22:59,377
As I explained to Mrs. Johnson,
the little girl's aunt...

245
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:03,130
...we hesitate in using a curare
to diminish the spasms. She's too young.

246
00:23:03,131 --> 00:23:04,799
...we hesitate in using a curare
to diminish the spasms. She's too young.

247
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:08,386
Narcosynthesis would be useless
until we overcome the aphonia.

248
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:09,553
Narcosynthesis would be useless
until we overcome the aphonia.

249
00:23:09,763 --> 00:23:12,765
- What's aphonia?
- Loss of voice.

250
00:23:13,475 --> 00:23:16,310
She's a classic case
of hysteria conversion.

251
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:19,105
Only a severe catharsis
could jolt her at all.

252
00:23:19,189 --> 00:23:21,232
May I have a small glass?

253
00:23:21,608 --> 00:23:25,027
- Yes, certainly.
- Pat, that acid we got....

254
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,153
Acid?

255
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:29,115
Formic, Doctor.
Thank you.

256
00:23:31,326 --> 00:23:33,702
It may provide the jolt you need.

257
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:55,599
Them!

258
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,143
Them!

259
00:23:57,644 --> 00:23:58,686
Them!

260
00:24:07,821 --> 00:24:09,697
May we visit the desert now?

261
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:11,490
It's getting late.

262
00:24:12,033 --> 00:24:13,701
It's later than you think.

263
00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:39,727
Thank you.

264
00:24:42,939 --> 00:24:44,190
Quite a breeze.

265
00:24:45,567 --> 00:24:47,860
- The goggles, Doctor.
- What about them?

266
00:24:47,944 --> 00:24:50,279
You're supposed to wear them
over your eyes.

267
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:52,031
Oh, thank you.

268
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:55,534
Yes, that is better.

269
00:24:57,412 --> 00:25:01,290
- So this is where the car and trailer were?
- Yes, sir. Excuse me.

270
00:25:01,374 --> 00:25:04,418
- Yes, thank you.
- The print was found right over there.

271
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:08,923
We found it here, by the fire.

272
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:11,884
You see, there's nothing there now.

273
00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:17,890
Has there been any report
of a strange mound?

274
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:21,143
A cone-shaped structure?
Something recently formed?

275
00:25:21,937 --> 00:25:22,978
No, sir.

276
00:25:24,439 --> 00:25:27,483
Sergeant, would you mind
if we looked around a little more?

277
00:25:27,776 --> 00:25:29,485
Anything you say, Doctor.

278
00:25:30,695 --> 00:25:32,696
Rather slim pickings for food, Dad.

279
00:25:32,781 --> 00:25:35,533
They'd turn carnivorous
for lack of a habitual diet.

280
00:25:35,825 --> 00:25:37,284
I believe you're right.

281
00:25:38,578 --> 00:25:40,287
What would turn carnivorous?

282
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:42,623
- My father will tell you.
- When?

283
00:25:42,832 --> 00:25:44,959
- When he's positive.
- Now, look, miss....

284
00:25:45,418 --> 00:25:46,669
Doctor....

285
00:25:47,045 --> 00:25:50,089
If the "Doctor" bothers you,
why don't you call me "Pat."

286
00:25:50,257 --> 00:25:51,382
I'd like to.

287
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:54,343
I've got a job to do,
and enough mystery on my hands...

288
00:25:54,427 --> 00:25:56,178
...without that old....

289
00:25:57,264 --> 00:25:59,473
I mean, your father complicating things.

290
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:03,811
He is one of the world's greatest
myrmecologists.

291
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:07,648
Myrmecologists!
You see, that's what I mean!

292
00:26:07,899 --> 00:26:11,443
Why don't we all talk English?
Then we'd have some understanding.

293
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:12,611
Pat!

294
00:26:14,030 --> 00:26:15,447
Come here.

295
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:19,326
It's the same kind of print.
Look at it, Doctor.

296
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:21,912
It's gigantic.

297
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:27,001
Over 12 centimeters.

298
00:26:27,794 --> 00:26:29,420
That would make the entire--

299
00:26:29,504 --> 00:26:32,423
About two and a half meters in length.
Over 8 feet.

300
00:26:32,841 --> 00:26:34,383
See if there are more.

301
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,263
- This is monstrous.
- So is the murder of five people, Doctor.

302
00:26:39,264 --> 00:26:40,347
- This is monstrous.
- So is the murder of five people, Doctor.

303
00:26:41,224 --> 00:26:45,644
The direction of that print
would indicate it came from that way.

304
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:52,026
Perhaps we should visit the store.
There may be more there now.

305
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:55,613
Look here, before we do any more visiting,
I want to know exactly what this "it" is.

306
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,364
Look here, before we do any more visiting,
I want to know exactly what this "it" is.

307
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:59,867
Gentlemen, I understand your impatience.

308
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:03,662
I know you are concerned with solving
what is essentially a local crime...

309
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:06,874
...but please believe me,
I am not being coy with you.

310
00:27:06,958 --> 00:27:11,420
If I'm wrong, no harm has been done.
But if I'm correct...

311
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:14,423
...and the mounting evidence
only fortifies my theory...

312
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:18,135
...then something incredible has happened
in this desert.

313
00:27:18,219 --> 00:27:22,723
In which case, none of us will dare risk
revealing it, because...

314
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:25,225
...none of us can risk a nationwide panic.

315
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:26,644
A panic?

316
00:28:44,222 --> 00:28:46,890
Get the antennae! Get the antennae!

317
00:28:56,401 --> 00:28:58,485
Get the other antenna!

318
00:28:58,611 --> 00:29:01,739
Get the other antenna!
He's helpless without them!

319
00:29:42,238 --> 00:29:43,697
What is it?

320
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:46,909
Species appears to be
Camponotus vicinus.

321
00:29:48,036 --> 00:29:50,788
Of the family of Formicidae. An ant.

322
00:29:50,872 --> 00:29:54,500
An ant? I don't believe it.
It's not possible!

323
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:58,086
Then this is what got Ed Blackburn,
Gramps Johnson, and the rest?

324
00:29:58,171 --> 00:30:00,756
Yes. A fantastic mutation.

325
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:05,636
Probably caused by lingering radiation
from the first atomic bomb.

326
00:30:05,929 --> 00:30:07,012
Notice its odor?

327
00:30:08,223 --> 00:30:12,351
Formic acid?
That's why the girl reacted so violently.

328
00:30:12,435 --> 00:30:15,187
The Coroner said
that Gramps was filled with it.

329
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:17,439
See that? It's the stinger.

330
00:30:17,857 --> 00:30:21,485
Ants use their mandibles to rend,
tear and hold their victims...

331
00:30:21,903 --> 00:30:25,739
...but they kill with that,
by injecting formic acid.

332
00:30:26,115 --> 00:30:28,200
Mr. Johnson was stung to death.

333
00:30:28,326 --> 00:30:31,328
There's no time to lose.
We must find the colony, the nest.

334
00:30:31,454 --> 00:30:32,704
There's more of them?

335
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:35,374
This was probably just a scout,
foraging for food.

336
00:30:35,458 --> 00:30:37,626
You heard the sound. The stridulation.

337
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:39,878
It communicated with others
in the colony.

338
00:30:39,963 --> 00:30:42,047
You mean these things send messages?

339
00:30:42,131 --> 00:30:46,635
Of course. All insects have means
of communication with their own kind!

340
00:31:00,567 --> 00:31:03,861
We may be witnesses
to a Biblical prophesy come true.

341
00:31:06,447 --> 00:31:10,284
"And there shall be destruction
and darkness come upon creation.

342
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:12,744
"And the Beasts shall reign
over the earth."

343
00:31:33,683 --> 00:31:37,769
Doctor, this nest we're looking for.
How many giant ants will be in it?

344
00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:39,938
General, I really don't know.

345
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:43,859
If they follow the usual pattern
of their species, the nest...

346
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:47,613
...depending upon its age,
may contain hundreds or thousands.

347
00:31:47,614 --> 00:31:48,989
...depending upon its age,
may contain hundreds or thousands.

348
00:31:49,657 --> 00:31:51,909
- Thousands, Doctor?
- It's possible.

349
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:55,913
Look, if we run into thousands
of the thing you killed yesterday...

350
00:31:56,164 --> 00:32:00,167
...it'll take a bomber squadron
plus an infantry regiment to mop up.

351
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:01,960
How could we keep that a secret?

352
00:32:02,045 --> 00:32:04,338
You're jumping to conclusions, General.

353
00:32:04,464 --> 00:32:07,758
There may not be nearly so many
of these creatures as you suppose.

354
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:11,094
I'm not supposing anything
after looking at that carcass.

355
00:32:11,179 --> 00:32:14,306
What I can't understand is
why no one has seen them until now.

356
00:32:14,390 --> 00:32:18,185
For one reason, I don't believe
these creatures developed until recently.

357
00:32:18,353 --> 00:32:20,687
For another, their being here...

358
00:32:20,813 --> 00:32:24,149
...in these hundreds of thousands
of square miles of desert is....

359
00:32:29,364 --> 00:32:30,781
No, that isn't it.

360
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:35,202
- Could I speak to my daughter, please?
- Of course.

361
00:32:36,496 --> 00:32:37,537
Thank you.

362
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:43,251
Hello, Pat?

363
00:32:44,045 --> 00:32:47,214
- Pat? You there?
- That's not the way to call.

364
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:49,841
We're Search Able, call Search Baker.

365
00:32:50,051 --> 00:32:51,802
- Right, General?
- Right.

366
00:32:53,221 --> 00:32:56,515
Search Able to Search Baker.

367
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:57,975
Say, "Over."

368
00:32:58,267 --> 00:32:59,518
Then say, "Over."

369
00:32:59,602 --> 00:33:00,769
Over!

370
00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:03,855
Medford and Baker to Medford and Able.
Go ahead, Dad. Over.

371
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:05,816
Have you found anything yet?

372
00:33:06,025 --> 00:33:06,984
Say, "Over."

373
00:33:07,068 --> 00:33:08,986
- I just said it.
- I know. Say it again.

374
00:33:09,070 --> 00:33:10,070
Over!

375
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:12,197
Baker to Able: Not yet.

376
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:15,492
We're about three quarters
of the way across our sector.

377
00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:17,869
We're now at coordinates: Charlie-6.
Over.

378
00:33:17,954 --> 00:33:19,538
Don't pass up a thing.

379
00:33:19,622 --> 00:33:22,040
Let me know when you find anything.

380
00:33:22,125 --> 00:33:23,792
If you're finished say, "Over and out."

381
00:33:23,876 --> 00:33:26,169
- She knows I'm through talking.
- I know she does.

382
00:33:26,254 --> 00:33:28,422
It's a rule. You've got to say it.
Right, General?

383
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:30,549
- Right.
- Ridiculous.

384
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:33,760
- Lot of good your rules will do--
- Over and out.

385
00:33:33,928 --> 00:33:35,679
Now you're happy.

386
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:41,935
Real calm fellow, isn't he?

387
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:47,983
Worried about him?

388
00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:51,611
A little. He's not a young man.
He shouldn't have made this trip, but...

389
00:33:51,612 --> 00:33:52,988
A little. He's not a young man.
He shouldn't have made this trip, but...

390
00:33:53,072 --> 00:33:56,658
...he's a scientist and this is
a scientist's dream come true.

391
00:33:59,954 --> 00:34:01,038
Hold it!

392
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:24,811
Fly back over it
and get as close as you can.

393
00:34:52,298 --> 00:34:54,633
You've just found your missing persons.

394
00:34:58,179 --> 00:34:59,721
Look, Dr. Medford...

395
00:35:00,014 --> 00:35:03,683
...you're being inconsistent.
First, you insist it's top secret.

396
00:35:04,393 --> 00:35:08,480
Nobody else must know or do anything
about getting rid of these big ants.

397
00:35:08,564 --> 00:35:11,274
Correct.
Absolute secrecy is imperative.

398
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:14,861
But then you turn around and say
that time is the most important thing.

399
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:18,448
I've been told to take orders from you
and give you what you ask for.

400
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:22,536
But if time is that important, why not let
me go in tonight with some bombers...

401
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:23,995
...and wipe out that nest?

402
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:28,542
If you'll just calm down, General,
I'll explain.

403
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,169
Doctor, please put up that chart.

404
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:35,048
Time is important,
more so than you realize.

405
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:38,969
But bombing that nest tonight
would only aggravate our problem.

406
00:35:39,345 --> 00:35:42,139
The reason none of them have been seen
during the day...

407
00:35:42,265 --> 00:35:44,349
...even by the police spotting planes...

408
00:35:44,433 --> 00:35:47,018
...is because they hate
the heat of the desert.

409
00:35:47,103 --> 00:35:50,480
They forage between sunset and dawn,
when it's cool.

410
00:35:50,565 --> 00:35:53,567
So half the colony wouldn't even be
inside the nest tonight.

411
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:57,654
Our best chance will be during
the hottest part of the day tomorrow.

412
00:35:57,655 --> 00:35:59,030
Our best chance will be during
the hottest part of the day tomorrow.

413
00:36:02,201 --> 00:36:04,619
This illustrates
a typical ant nest.

414
00:36:05,788 --> 00:36:07,539
Observe the details.

415
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:09,374
Here is the entrance.

416
00:36:09,709 --> 00:36:13,795
These are tunnels, corridors,
and food chambers.

417
00:36:13,963 --> 00:36:16,506
Note the wonderful
and intricate engineering.

418
00:36:17,049 --> 00:36:20,093
Water traps,
so that none will drown during rains.

419
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:23,305
This is somewhat oversimplified, I admit...

420
00:36:23,389 --> 00:36:26,516
...but it will give you an idea
of what we are up against.

421
00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:30,854
Do you know that some species
of desert ants dig down...

422
00:36:31,189 --> 00:36:33,231
...as deep as 30 feet or more?

423
00:36:33,399 --> 00:36:36,193
That nest we found today
might go down hundreds of feet.

424
00:36:36,277 --> 00:36:38,904
We can pinpoint that opening.
Seal it up for good.

425
00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:41,531
The creatures would only tunnel out
somewhere else.

426
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:45,035
We don't want that nest damaged.
Not yet.

427
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:46,328
What do we do?

428
00:36:46,412 --> 00:36:49,331
First, we wait until noon tomorrow.

429
00:36:49,415 --> 00:36:52,584
By that time,
all of them should be within the nest.

430
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:55,879
To keep them confined in there
is our next problem.

431
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:58,173
We have two possibilities:

432
00:36:58,257 --> 00:37:00,675
First would be to flood the nest.

433
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:05,263
Ants will not come through deep water.
They breathe through their sides.

434
00:37:05,348 --> 00:37:09,559
Excuse me, Doctor, there's no water line
within 20 miles of that place.

435
00:37:09,644 --> 00:37:12,771
That's why you asked about
our meteorological station.

436
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,065
Any chance of getting cloud formations?

437
00:37:15,149 --> 00:37:17,484
Nothing that would make
cloud seeding pay off.

438
00:37:17,568 --> 00:37:20,737
Nobody's had any luck
in making rain in this part of the desert.

439
00:37:20,821 --> 00:37:22,239
The second possibility?

440
00:37:22,323 --> 00:37:26,117
Enough heat to drive the ants deeper
down into the nest, and hold them down.

441
00:37:26,202 --> 00:37:27,911
But no bombing?

442
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,623
What about phosphorus? We can lay it
over that mound with bazookas.

443
00:37:32,708 --> 00:37:34,876
That would keep the surface area hot.

444
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:37,379
What happens after that?

445
00:37:37,463 --> 00:37:40,757
We then drop cyanide gas
into the opening and kill them.

446
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:43,551
How can you be sure
you'll get all of them?

447
00:37:43,636 --> 00:37:45,345
We go down into the nest and find out.

448
00:38:11,372 --> 00:38:14,165
Don't forget to tap me
when you get that wired, General.

449
00:38:14,250 --> 00:38:17,043
Don't rush me. I'm doing this by the book.

450
00:38:20,381 --> 00:38:23,300
It's the first time
I ever loaded one of these babies.

451
00:38:23,509 --> 00:38:27,595
That makes us even. This is the first time
I've ever given orders to a general.

452
00:39:15,227 --> 00:39:17,979
We should've waited for it to cool more.

453
00:39:18,064 --> 00:39:20,774
We don't dare lose time
getting cyanide into that nest.

454
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:07,987
Marvelously made.

455
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,366
Marvelous. Tell me,
you only saw the one live ant?

456
00:40:11,617 --> 00:40:14,327
He seemed to be trying to get out,
rather than get us.

457
00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:17,956
He stopped moving when the gas hit him.
Then he dropped out of sight.

458
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,166
Didn't see or hear a thing from then on.

459
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:22,001
You think they're all dead?

460
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:23,962
I think so. You used enough gas.

461
00:40:24,046 --> 00:40:27,340
All parts of the nest should have been
thoroughly saturated by now.

462
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,260
If I can still raise an arm
when we get out of here...

463
00:40:30,344 --> 00:40:32,595
...I'll show you
how well saturated I can get.

464
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:33,888
I'm with you.

465
00:40:33,973 --> 00:40:35,723
If I were younger, I....

466
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:39,811
What are you made up for?

467
00:40:39,895 --> 00:40:41,813
I'm going with you and Ben.

468
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:44,524
No, you're not.

469
00:40:44,608 --> 00:40:47,068
Someone with scientific knowledge
has to go.

470
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:50,405
My father is physically unable to do it.
That leaves me.

471
00:40:50,489 --> 00:40:54,075
That leaves you here. We don't know
what we'll find down there.

472
00:40:54,326 --> 00:40:57,454
One thing for sure,
it's no place for you or any other woman.

473
00:40:57,538 --> 00:41:01,541
She wanted to go, Robert.
As a scientist, I couldn't forbid her.

474
00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:04,085
- A trained observer has to go.
- What for?

475
00:41:04,170 --> 00:41:06,921
There are more important things
than finding dead ants.

476
00:41:07,006 --> 00:41:09,757
- You wouldn't know what to look for!
- You tell us what.

477
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:12,552
There's no time to give you a course
in insect pathology!

478
00:41:12,636 --> 00:41:15,013
So let's stop talking and get on with it.

479
00:41:20,394 --> 00:41:21,436
Okay.

480
00:41:22,855 --> 00:41:24,355
Don't worry, Dad.

481
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:34,532
Good luck, Sergeant.

482
00:41:34,783 --> 00:41:36,326
You come last, Pat.

483
00:41:36,869 --> 00:41:39,412
Throw us the rest of the stuff down
when I signal.

484
00:42:32,508 --> 00:42:33,550
Hold it.

485
00:42:34,134 --> 00:42:37,428
They're dead or they would have
attacked us right away.

486
00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:54,445
Look. Held together with saliva.

487
00:42:55,656 --> 00:42:58,700
Spit is all that's holding me together
right now, too.

488
00:44:14,026 --> 00:44:16,110
How come the gas
didn't kill them?

489
00:44:16,195 --> 00:44:18,738
The chamber looked caved in
from the bombing.

490
00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:21,866
Sealed up that way,
the gas couldn't reach them.

491
00:44:21,950 --> 00:44:26,120
If we run into any more
live ones, we're getting out of here.

492
00:44:54,942 --> 00:44:56,234
This is it!

493
00:44:56,819 --> 00:44:59,237
The queen's chamber, and the eggs.

494
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:33,604
- This is what I was afraid of.
- What's wrong?

495
00:45:34,064 --> 00:45:35,189
They're empty.

496
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:38,776
- What came out is dead, right?
- Not the ones hatched from these!

497
00:45:38,777 --> 00:45:39,819
- What came out is dead, right?
- Not the ones hatched from these!

498
00:45:43,532 --> 00:45:45,658
Now destroy everything in here.
Burn it!

499
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:48,327
- What?
- I said burn it. Burn everything!

500
00:46:15,856 --> 00:46:17,440
Very strange.

501
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:19,901
Most unusual.

502
00:46:20,194 --> 00:46:22,653
No larvae or pupae
in the egg chamber.

503
00:46:22,738 --> 00:46:25,198
They seemed to hatch
directly from the eggs.

504
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:27,492
I attribute it to the mutation process.

505
00:46:27,576 --> 00:46:29,535
That's the logical conclusion.

506
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:33,748
You feel sure those two have gone?
You found no winged ants?

507
00:46:34,249 --> 00:46:35,666
We saw only worker ants.

508
00:46:35,751 --> 00:46:38,377
I don't get it.
You act like it was the end of the world.

509
00:46:38,462 --> 00:46:39,712
It could be.

510
00:46:40,923 --> 00:46:44,258
These two empty egg cases
contained queen ants.

511
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:49,222
Newborn queen ants have wings,
so have their consorts, male ants.

512
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:52,892
- You found no ants with wings?
- Not a one.

513
00:46:53,310 --> 00:46:56,687
The fact is we didn't destroy
this first nest soon enough!

514
00:46:57,689 --> 00:47:01,192
Two young queen ants hatched out,
dried their wings and flew away...

515
00:47:01,193 --> 00:47:02,276
Two young queen ants hatched out,
dried their wings and flew away...

516
00:47:02,611 --> 00:47:06,572
...each with one or more winged males.
They've gone on their wedding flight.

517
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:11,202
We needn't worry about the males.
They'll die very quickly, but the queens--

518
00:47:11,286 --> 00:47:14,413
Doctor, are you telling us
there'll be other nests?

519
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:17,667
A single queen can lay thousands of eggs.

520
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:22,421
From these will hatch dozens
of other queens, who may in turn....

521
00:47:24,341 --> 00:47:25,758
How far can they fly?

522
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:29,303
These giants? I don't know.

523
00:47:30,556 --> 00:47:34,725
Ordinary queens of the smaller species
have very limited flying powers.

524
00:47:35,477 --> 00:47:39,564
They're dependent mostly on winds
and thermal currents to carry them along.

525
00:47:39,690 --> 00:47:43,776
They have been found in the stratosphere.
But these giants....

526
00:47:44,903 --> 00:47:46,612
I don't know, you guess.

527
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:48,614
I thought today was the end of them.

528
00:47:48,699 --> 00:47:49,740
No.

529
00:47:50,158 --> 00:47:52,034
We haven't seen the end of them.

530
00:47:52,327 --> 00:47:56,205
We've only had a view of the beginning
of what may be the end of us.

531
00:47:58,208 --> 00:48:00,543
We'd better inform Washington, General.

532
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:19,312
Sergeant Peterson.

533
00:48:19,563 --> 00:48:21,480
- Sir?
- What about your superiors?

534
00:48:21,565 --> 00:48:25,192
Do they know these creatures
are causing the crimes in your desert?

535
00:48:25,277 --> 00:48:26,485
No, sir, they don't.

536
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:29,697
Gen. O'Brien and Dr. Medford
felt that absolute secrecy...

537
00:48:29,781 --> 00:48:32,491
...about the existence of the big ants
was essential.

538
00:48:32,576 --> 00:48:35,620
Do you also think this extraordinary
hush-hush is necessary?

539
00:48:35,704 --> 00:48:39,874
Yes. I don't think there's a police force
anywhere that could handle the panic...

540
00:48:39,958 --> 00:48:42,335
...if people found out
these babies were loose.

541
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:44,670
Gentlemen, I believe we are ready.

542
00:48:45,464 --> 00:48:48,966
Some of you have displayed incredulous
attitudes towards our reports and photos.

543
00:48:48,967 --> 00:48:50,426
Some of you have displayed incredulous
attitudes towards our reports and photos.

544
00:48:50,677 --> 00:48:54,305
The rest of you are trying to understand
the gravity of our situation...

545
00:48:55,098 --> 00:48:58,434
...but repeatedly ask
how really serious it is.

546
00:48:59,561 --> 00:49:03,314
For your edification,
I have prepared a short film...

547
00:49:03,899 --> 00:49:08,194
...which I hope will give you some idea
of the nature of the creatures we face.

548
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,237
In a small way, of course.

549
00:49:10,948 --> 00:49:12,907
Robert, please turn out the lights.

550
00:49:19,915 --> 00:49:24,335
These ants and related
species are common to most of America.

551
00:49:24,503 --> 00:49:28,005
In fact, you can find them in backyards,
empty lots, and fields...

552
00:49:28,006 --> 00:49:29,715
In fact, you can find them in backyards,
empty lots, and fields...

553
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,176
...throughout the temperate zones
of the world.

554
00:49:32,260 --> 00:49:35,346
They haven't changed in form or habits...

555
00:49:35,681 --> 00:49:37,848
...for more than 50 million years.

556
00:49:38,308 --> 00:49:41,102
Here, for instance, is one such specimen...

557
00:49:41,186 --> 00:49:45,064
...that got himself trapped in amber,
which we know is at least that old.

558
00:49:45,816 --> 00:49:48,567
Now we come
to some different kind of ants.

559
00:49:49,194 --> 00:49:53,489
The big fellow there,
feeding on the smaller, red grease-eaters...

560
00:49:54,116 --> 00:49:58,411
...is of a savage species called
Camponotus vicinus Mayr.

561
00:49:58,620 --> 00:50:00,454
He's of a desert variety.

562
00:50:00,914 --> 00:50:05,042
Very similar to the giant mutations
we found in New Mexico.

563
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:08,587
There is a side view of a small nest.

564
00:50:09,047 --> 00:50:11,132
Those white objects are ant eggs.

565
00:50:12,384 --> 00:50:15,052
Ants don't see well at all.

566
00:50:15,721 --> 00:50:19,223
They hear, smell and locate objects
with their radar-like antennae.

567
00:50:19,224 --> 00:50:20,725
They hear, smell and locate objects
with their radar-like antennae.

568
00:50:21,226 --> 00:50:24,895
Only after food or an enemy is located
with the antennae...

569
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:27,815
...are the savage mandibles put to work.

570
00:50:29,943 --> 00:50:33,070
Now, gentlemen,
watch this demonstration of power.

571
00:50:33,321 --> 00:50:36,073
A pebble has blocked
the entrance to the nest.

572
00:50:36,575 --> 00:50:39,285
That creature is determined
to remove the obstacle.

573
00:50:39,995 --> 00:50:43,497
Note how the mandibles are used
to grasp the pebble and pull it aside...

574
00:50:43,498 --> 00:50:44,999
Note how the mandibles are used
to grasp the pebble and pull it aside...

575
00:50:45,083 --> 00:50:47,501
...with only a slight assist
from another ant.

576
00:50:48,336 --> 00:50:51,630
There's the same pebble
on a laboratory scale.

577
00:50:52,174 --> 00:50:55,593
Balancing it, is a dish containing 20 ants.

578
00:50:56,219 --> 00:51:00,431
We've learned that one of these
quarter-inch long insects can lift...

579
00:51:00,557 --> 00:51:02,808
...20 times its own weight.

580
00:51:03,143 --> 00:51:06,270
That's equal to one of you
lifting a ton and a half or more!

581
00:51:07,189 --> 00:51:10,733
Here are rare shots of a newborn queen
and her consorts.

582
00:51:12,736 --> 00:51:16,238
Technically, she should be referred to
as a princess, until after the mating flight.

583
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,698
Technically, she should be referred to
as a princess, until after the mating flight.

584
00:51:17,991 --> 00:51:21,118
Now there is a close shot
of a winged male.

585
00:51:21,787 --> 00:51:25,831
Males are unequipped for survival
beyond the mating and die soon after.

586
00:51:26,249 --> 00:51:29,752
The queen flies on, or more precisely,
is borne by the winds...

587
00:51:29,753 --> 00:51:31,003
The queen flies on, or more precisely,
is borne by the winds...

588
00:51:31,213 --> 00:51:35,007
...until her need prompts her
to seek a place to lay eggs.

589
00:51:35,884 --> 00:51:39,303
Does a queen ever fly away
from her nest once she's established it?

590
00:51:39,471 --> 00:51:42,973
No, never. She loses her wings
after the wedding flight.

591
00:51:43,558 --> 00:51:45,267
See? One has dropped off.

592
00:51:47,938 --> 00:51:51,273
Now she starts her function
of establishing a place...

593
00:51:51,733 --> 00:51:54,652
...in which to lay her eggs
and begin the nest.

594
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:58,656
Queens live quite a long time.
They continue to lay eggs...

595
00:51:58,824 --> 00:52:00,574
...from the one mating...

596
00:52:00,659 --> 00:52:03,494
...for from 15 to 17 years.

597
00:52:04,329 --> 00:52:06,122
Here are ants at war.

598
00:52:07,332 --> 00:52:10,835
As you can see, ants are savage,
ruthless and courageous fighters.

599
00:52:10,836 --> 00:52:12,711
As you can see, ants are savage,
ruthless and courageous fighters.

600
00:52:13,588 --> 00:52:17,091
This fight lasted 72 hours
between those two alone.

601
00:52:17,092 --> 00:52:18,634
This fight lasted 72 hours
between those two alone.

602
00:52:21,179 --> 00:52:24,306
Ants are the only creatures on Earth
other than man...

603
00:52:24,516 --> 00:52:25,766
...who make war.

604
00:52:26,268 --> 00:52:29,061
They campaign.
They are chronic aggressors.

605
00:52:29,229 --> 00:52:32,273
They make slave laborers
of the captives they don't kill.

606
00:52:33,358 --> 00:52:36,861
None of the ants previously seen by man
were more than an inch in length.

607
00:52:36,862 --> 00:52:38,112
None of the ants previously seen by man
were more than an inch in length.

608
00:52:38,613 --> 00:52:40,698
Most were considerably under that size.

609
00:52:40,782 --> 00:52:44,285
But even the most minute of them
have an instinct and talent for industry...

610
00:52:44,286 --> 00:52:46,162
But even the most minute of them
have an instinct and talent for industry...

611
00:52:46,371 --> 00:52:49,748
...social organization and savagery...

612
00:52:50,876 --> 00:52:54,712
...that makes man look feeble
by comparison.

613
00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:57,089
How large were the ants you found?

614
00:52:57,257 --> 00:53:00,593
The smallest measured
nine feet in body length.

615
00:53:01,011 --> 00:53:03,179
That, gentlemen, is why you are here.

616
00:53:03,805 --> 00:53:05,306
To consider this problem.

617
00:53:05,390 --> 00:53:08,517
And I hope, solve it.
Because unless you solve it...

618
00:53:08,810 --> 00:53:11,437
...unless these queens are located
and destroyed...

619
00:53:11,646 --> 00:53:14,899
...before they've established
thriving colonies and can produce...

620
00:53:14,983 --> 00:53:17,651
...heaven alone knows
how many more queen ants...

621
00:53:17,819 --> 00:53:21,989
...man, as the dominant species
of life on Earth...

622
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:23,949
...will probably be extinct...

623
00:53:24,993 --> 00:53:28,495
...within a year, Doc?

624
00:53:39,507 --> 00:53:41,717
How about some information,
Senator?

625
00:53:41,801 --> 00:53:43,093
Sorry, no comment.

626
00:53:43,178 --> 00:53:45,304
There must be something you can tell us.

627
00:53:45,472 --> 00:53:48,974
All the newswire services, AP, UP, INS,
are in there, but nothing's coming out.

628
00:53:48,975 --> 00:53:50,559
All the newswire services, AP, UP, INS,
are in there, but nothing's coming out.

629
00:53:50,894 --> 00:53:53,270
No newsmen are being allowed in there.

630
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:56,106
What was that mysterious
3:00 a.m. meeting about?

631
00:53:56,191 --> 00:53:58,275
Can't tell you a thing, boys, sorry.

632
00:54:01,988 --> 00:54:05,908
There are about a million radio receivers
installed in there, too.

633
00:54:06,076 --> 00:54:07,826
- Why?
- I don't know.

634
00:54:35,355 --> 00:54:39,358
Texans. When bigger stories are told,
Texans will tell them.

635
00:54:39,442 --> 00:54:42,736
Should fit in with the kind of stuff
they're looking for upstairs.

636
00:54:42,821 --> 00:54:45,114
- Know what's going on in this building?
- No.

637
00:54:45,198 --> 00:54:47,950
Real "T.S." stuff. Top Secret.

638
00:54:56,126 --> 00:54:58,752
Okay, we'll meet you at the airport
in 20 minutes.

639
00:55:00,130 --> 00:55:03,257
Says he can have us in Brownsville
in less than three hours.

640
00:55:04,968 --> 00:55:06,677
Good luck, Bob.

641
00:55:18,231 --> 00:55:21,692
They ain't kidding me. Nobody is.
Not you, not anybody.

642
00:55:21,776 --> 00:55:24,611
This isn't a hospital.
This is a loony bin. A nuthouse.

643
00:55:25,447 --> 00:55:28,615
Do you think I'm crazy?
I don't care what you think. I'm not!

644
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:31,368
I saw those things with my own two eyes!

645
00:55:31,453 --> 00:55:35,497
Do you think anybody could make it up?
A guy would have to be nuts....

646
00:55:39,544 --> 00:55:42,755
You're a flyer. You didn't get that yard
sitting on the ground.

647
00:55:42,839 --> 00:55:44,715
You've seen guys blow their stacks.

648
00:55:45,008 --> 00:55:48,552
Do you think I act and talk
like a guy who has lost his marbles?

649
00:55:48,762 --> 00:55:50,804
Tell us what you saw, Mr. Crotty.

650
00:55:50,889 --> 00:55:54,558
I've told those head-shrinking doctors
four dozen times! I'm sick of it.

651
00:55:54,893 --> 00:55:58,729
I tell them and I get laughed at
and clucked over.

652
00:56:02,108 --> 00:56:03,901
You promise not to laugh at me?

653
00:56:04,152 --> 00:56:05,069
Promise.

654
00:56:06,029 --> 00:56:07,071
Okay.

655
00:56:07,739 --> 00:56:11,617
I was flying south from Corpus Christi,
heading here, Brownsville.

656
00:56:12,660 --> 00:56:16,830
I turned in from the Gulf, heading for
the airport about 20 miles out...

657
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,834
...all of a sudden I see these flying saucers.

658
00:56:20,919 --> 00:56:23,337
Three of them.
One big and two little ones.

659
00:56:23,713 --> 00:56:26,840
I had to do some fancy flying
or they'd have run right into me.

660
00:56:26,925 --> 00:56:31,387
I dived down and landed
in the first place I saw, a street.

661
00:56:31,805 --> 00:56:33,847
I've never been so rattled in my life.

662
00:56:34,641 --> 00:56:36,475
I cracked up a little, sure.

663
00:56:36,684 --> 00:56:39,853
I plowed into an old Ford
and ended up on someone's porch.

664
00:56:40,647 --> 00:56:43,774
Who wouldn't lose their head
after seeing something like that?

665
00:56:43,858 --> 00:56:47,111
- They were flying saucers?
- I don't know what else to call them.

666
00:56:47,529 --> 00:56:49,488
They were shaped...

667
00:56:50,990 --> 00:56:52,408
...like ants.

668
00:56:56,663 --> 00:56:59,498
It sounds crazy
but that's what they were shaped like.

669
00:56:59,707 --> 00:57:04,128
The big one was about 15 feet long
and had wings like a fly.

670
00:57:04,504 --> 00:57:08,715
The other two seemed to be chasing
the big one. One here. Two here.

671
00:57:09,008 --> 00:57:13,345
They zoomed around me like kamikazes.
Scared me out of my pants!

672
00:57:13,930 --> 00:57:15,347
Excuse me, ma'am.

673
00:57:16,141 --> 00:57:19,768
They said that Ford wasn't a new one.
It was all beat up to begin with.

674
00:57:19,936 --> 00:57:21,895
So what's all the beef?

675
00:57:24,858 --> 00:57:26,984
You don't believe me either. Do you?

676
00:57:27,068 --> 00:57:28,444
On the contrary, we do.

677
00:57:28,528 --> 00:57:29,570
You do?

678
00:57:30,363 --> 00:57:31,196
Good.

679
00:57:31,448 --> 00:57:34,950
What direction were these flying saucers
going the last time you saw them?

680
00:57:34,951 --> 00:57:35,993
What direction were these flying saucers
going the last time you saw them?

681
00:57:36,453 --> 00:57:39,872
West, I'd say. Yes, due west.

682
00:57:40,498 --> 00:57:42,374
Will you get me out of here?

683
00:57:42,584 --> 00:57:45,586
- We'll speak to the doctor about it.
- I'd appreciate it.

684
00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:49,423
Try and get my clothes, too.
They only gave me these slippers...

685
00:57:50,049 --> 00:57:52,593
...but not even a rope to hold up my pants.

686
00:57:52,719 --> 00:57:55,971
- We'll be seeing you.
- Be right neighborly if you could help.

687
00:57:56,055 --> 00:57:57,514
I'll sure be hoping.

688
00:57:58,099 --> 00:58:00,225
- Mr. Graham?
- Yes?

689
00:58:00,310 --> 00:58:02,811
How was your talk with Mr. Crotty?

690
00:58:03,104 --> 00:58:05,314
You're wise to keep him locked up, Doctor.

691
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,234
I've recommended his release.
He's not demented.

692
00:58:09,569 --> 00:58:13,322
I'm convinced he's trying to pull
a publicity stunt with this weird story.

693
00:58:13,406 --> 00:58:15,365
The government wants him
to be kept here...

694
00:58:15,450 --> 00:58:17,075
...so he doesn't get any publicity.

695
00:58:17,243 --> 00:58:18,327
The government?

696
00:58:18,453 --> 00:58:20,329
He's to have no visitors.

697
00:58:20,413 --> 00:58:24,124
If any information is given out about him,
you'll be held responsible.

698
00:58:24,584 --> 00:58:26,835
I can't tell you
why this is essential.

699
00:58:27,212 --> 00:58:30,380
We'll let you know as soon as possible.
We'll tell you when he's well.

700
00:58:36,387 --> 00:58:40,807
A bit more than 700 air miles
from White Sands to Brownsville.

701
00:58:41,434 --> 00:58:42,476
Southeast.

702
00:58:42,977 --> 00:58:45,812
This Crotty said they were heading west
when he saw them.

703
00:58:45,897 --> 00:58:46,897
I believe him.

704
00:58:46,981 --> 00:58:50,484
There were strong easterly winds
the day Crotty saw the ants.

705
00:58:50,485 --> 00:58:51,860
There were strong easterly winds
the day Crotty saw the ants.

706
00:58:52,153 --> 00:58:54,613
They'd follow the line of least resistance.

707
00:58:54,864 --> 00:58:59,159
We can surmise that one of the queens,
possibly both of them...

708
00:58:59,577 --> 00:59:02,913
...can create nests in this general area.

709
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,333
We'd better inform
the Mexican authorities...

710
00:59:06,501 --> 00:59:09,294
...and concentrate our search efforts here.

711
00:59:09,754 --> 00:59:13,382
As far south as Panama. As far north as...

712
00:59:14,342 --> 00:59:17,386
...Santa Barbara, on the California coast.

713
00:59:17,637 --> 00:59:19,054
That's an awful lot of area.

714
00:59:20,431 --> 00:59:21,473
I'll get it.

715
00:59:23,434 --> 00:59:24,476
Hello?

716
00:59:25,061 --> 00:59:26,937
Dr. Medford speaking.

717
00:59:28,606 --> 00:59:29,731
What?

718
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,984
I'll be right there.

719
00:59:41,953 --> 00:59:45,414
"A nest hatched aboard a ship at sea."

720
01:00:06,144 --> 01:00:09,855
I'm sure you'll be interested
in this report I just received:

721
01:00:09,939 --> 01:00:13,942
" U.S.S. Milwaukee got radio bearing on
S.S. Viking before signal stopped.

722
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,404
"Milwaukee proceeded at once to location.

723
01:00:17,614 --> 01:00:20,532
"Two seamen from Viking
rescued from sea by Milwaukee.

724
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,702
"Seamen said no survivors remained
aboard Viking.

725
01:00:24,412 --> 01:00:27,080
"Not possible to put aboard
search and rescue party...

726
01:00:27,165 --> 01:00:29,750
"...as Viking was infested
with the giant ants."

727
01:00:29,834 --> 01:00:33,337
Upon my orders, the S.S. Viking
has been sunk with naval gunfire.

728
01:00:33,338 --> 01:00:34,963
Upon my orders, the S.S. Viking
has been sunk with naval gunfire.

729
01:00:35,298 --> 01:00:37,758
This was accomplished
at 0700 this morning.

730
01:00:37,967 --> 01:00:40,510
I don't see how a ship at sea could....

731
01:00:41,262 --> 01:00:42,804
Dr. Medford...

732
01:00:42,889 --> 01:00:46,183
...how could these giant creatures
get aboard that vessel unseen?

733
01:00:46,934 --> 01:00:51,104
The S.S. Viking anchored in Acapulco,
Mexico, for three days and four nights.

734
01:00:52,357 --> 01:00:56,652
It's then and there we believe one
of these missing queen ants flew aboard.

735
01:00:57,362 --> 01:00:59,321
Please give them your information.

736
01:01:01,574 --> 01:01:04,451
"Owners of the S.S. Viking reported
that on hold number one...

737
01:01:04,577 --> 01:01:08,538
"...the hatch cover was off during
the entire time of loading. Even at night.

738
01:01:08,915 --> 01:01:13,001
"The crew had shore leave every night so
only a skeleton crew remained on watch."

739
01:01:13,836 --> 01:01:17,714
It was quite possible for a queen ant
to have flown onto that ship unseen.

740
01:01:18,049 --> 01:01:21,968
An open hold would be inviting as a place
to lay her eggs and hatch out a nest.

741
01:01:22,470 --> 01:01:25,972
I think it's time to inform the public.
It can't be kept a secret indefinitely.

742
01:01:25,973 --> 01:01:27,182
I think it's time to inform the public.
It can't be kept a secret indefinitely.

743
01:01:27,266 --> 01:01:28,642
We can't risk it, sir.

744
01:01:28,726 --> 01:01:30,185
But you already have.

745
01:01:30,561 --> 01:01:34,106
The entire crew of the cruiser Milwaukee
knows about these things now.

746
01:01:34,190 --> 01:01:38,193
They know, but the Milwaukee
will be kept at sea until this is resolved.

747
01:01:39,987 --> 01:01:42,531
What do those flags on the map indicate?

748
01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:47,077
These four indicate where we found
dead male ants.

749
01:01:48,162 --> 01:01:52,582
The most recent finding was about four
days ago near Mt. Wilson in California.

750
01:01:53,376 --> 01:01:57,587
It was decomposed and must have been
there for a month to five weeks.

751
01:01:58,423 --> 01:02:01,967
This flag, at Los Angeles, indicates a lead.

752
01:02:02,176 --> 01:02:05,011
Mr. Graham and Sgt. Ben Peterson
are there now.

753
01:02:05,138 --> 01:02:08,974
They were flown there by Maj. Kibbee
to check on a large sugar theft.

754
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:10,392
Forty tons, to be exact.

755
01:02:28,745 --> 01:02:30,662
When was this car broken into?

756
01:02:30,747 --> 01:02:32,622
I told you, Friday night.

757
01:02:32,915 --> 01:02:36,042
Yard watchman claims
he didn't see or hear a thing.

758
01:02:36,502 --> 01:02:38,670
What's so important
you got to work on Sunday?

759
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:40,005
Where's the watchman?

760
01:02:40,089 --> 01:02:44,384
City jail. Any boob knows you need trucks
to carry away 40 tons of stuff.

761
01:02:44,552 --> 01:02:47,429
Said he didn't hear them.
He's either lying or he's deaf.

762
01:02:47,513 --> 01:02:48,722
And he ain't deaf.

763
01:02:49,724 --> 01:02:51,475
- Let's go see him.
- Yeah.

764
01:02:52,935 --> 01:02:54,394
Thanks, buddy.

765
01:02:54,479 --> 01:02:57,230
After spoiling my day off
you could at least tell me...

766
01:02:57,315 --> 01:02:59,983
...how come a government cop
is so interested in this deal.

767
01:03:00,067 --> 01:03:01,777
He's got a sweet tooth.

768
01:03:06,157 --> 01:03:08,492
It's the only job
you've ever had?

769
01:03:08,659 --> 01:03:11,787
I've had a clean record
for 30 years at the railroad.

770
01:03:11,913 --> 01:03:15,540
Yard cop thinks you made a deal
not to see that car broken into.

771
01:03:15,625 --> 01:03:17,125
What sense does that make?

772
01:03:17,210 --> 01:03:19,878
Is sugar rare cargo?
Is there a black market for it?

773
01:03:19,962 --> 01:03:22,589
Did you ever hear of a fence for hot sugar?

774
01:03:23,049 --> 01:03:26,551
If I made a deal with crooks,
it wouldn't be for 40 tons of sugar!

775
01:03:26,719 --> 01:03:29,513
I swear I didn't hear a thing Friday night.

776
01:03:29,764 --> 01:03:31,223
I'll be right back.

777
01:03:35,269 --> 01:03:39,481
That woman just identified the body
of her husband. See him right away.

778
01:03:39,607 --> 01:03:43,151
I've never had anything
to do with crooks. I'm an honest man.

779
01:03:43,236 --> 01:03:46,321
Sure, you can go home now.
Take care of him, will you?

780
01:03:46,572 --> 01:03:47,405
Thank you.

781
01:03:48,574 --> 01:03:50,909
I don't think this happened in a machine.

782
01:03:51,118 --> 01:03:54,788
Any machine that pulled hard enough
to tear his arm off at the shoulder...

783
01:03:54,872 --> 01:03:56,957
...would also have chopped up his face.

784
01:03:57,250 --> 01:03:59,543
Look at the laceration across his chest.

785
01:04:00,127 --> 01:04:03,213
Can't figure it, except he died from shock
and loss of blood.

786
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:04,714
Thanks very much.

787
01:04:09,011 --> 01:04:10,387
His name's Thomas Lodge.

788
01:04:10,471 --> 01:04:14,307
Police found him, 6:30 a.m.
His car jumped a curb, went into a sign...

789
01:04:14,392 --> 01:04:18,144
...but not hard enough to do that.
They couldn't find the other arm.

790
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:21,857
His wife said
that he left the house at 5:45.

791
01:04:22,108 --> 01:04:25,569
He had his two kids with him.
No sign of the kids yet.

792
01:04:30,283 --> 01:04:31,616
Mrs. Lodge...

793
01:04:31,701 --> 01:04:35,036
...was your husband accustomed
to taking his boys out so early?

794
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:39,082
Tom works on Sunday from 9:00 to 7:00.
It's an extra job he had.

795
01:04:39,083 --> 01:04:40,417
Tom works on Sunday from 9:00 to 7:00.
It's an extra job he had.

796
01:04:41,127 --> 01:04:44,713
He works so hard, he doesn't have
much time to spend with Jerry and Mike.

797
01:04:44,797 --> 01:04:48,884
Sundays they get up early
and go somewhere together to play.

798
01:04:50,386 --> 01:04:53,096
Do you know where they might
have gone this morning?

799
01:04:53,264 --> 01:04:54,306
Where?

800
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:57,350
They go different places.

801
01:04:58,394 --> 01:05:00,645
Last Sunday,
Tom took the boys to the zoo.

802
01:05:01,439 --> 01:05:03,148
They had such a good time.

803
01:05:03,441 --> 01:05:06,151
Tom fixed it with a keeper
so they could get in early...

804
01:05:06,235 --> 01:05:08,320
...and watch the feeding of the animals.

805
01:05:08,404 --> 01:05:10,238
Jerry talked about it all week.

806
01:05:11,407 --> 01:05:12,991
Where else did they go?

807
01:05:15,161 --> 01:05:19,039
Sometimes Tom took them boat riding
at MacArthur Park.

808
01:05:19,123 --> 01:05:22,208
For pony rides and miniature golf.

809
01:05:23,085 --> 01:05:26,296
They always come home so happy.
And so dirty!

810
01:05:26,797 --> 01:05:30,926
I kept asking Tom to do things
where they won't get so dirty.

811
01:05:31,010 --> 01:05:33,261
I spent the rest of the day cleaning them.

812
01:05:53,199 --> 01:05:54,991
Can I see you a moment?

813
01:06:01,582 --> 01:06:03,124
- Rough?
- Yeah.

814
01:06:03,501 --> 01:06:07,087
Bob, these are the two officers
who found Lodge.

815
01:06:07,213 --> 01:06:08,755
- This is Ryan.
- Sutton.

816
01:06:08,965 --> 01:06:12,133
Patrolmen Sutton and Ryan.
This is Bob Graham.

817
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,554
Dr. Medford and Pat are flying here
with Gen. O'Brien tonight.

818
01:06:16,847 --> 01:06:20,016
Kibbee called. He'll be over
after he's had a little breakfast.

819
01:06:20,101 --> 01:06:23,228
Show me on the map
just exactly where you found Lodge.

820
01:06:24,605 --> 01:06:27,732
- Right there.
- And he was dead when you found him?

821
01:06:28,234 --> 01:06:29,901
Where's MacArthur Park?

822
01:06:32,530 --> 01:06:34,072
That's a long ways.

823
01:06:34,991 --> 01:06:37,492
We've got to find out
where he took the kids.

824
01:06:37,576 --> 01:06:39,911
He couldn't have driven far.
He was too cut up.

825
01:06:41,247 --> 01:06:44,874
Is there any area where you found him
where he might've taken the kids...

826
01:06:44,959 --> 01:06:48,503
...for a boat ride or miniature golf?
Pony rides, stuff like that.

827
01:06:48,629 --> 01:06:50,880
I don't know
any miniature golf courses.

828
01:06:50,965 --> 01:06:53,591
Griffith Park is the closest
where they rent horses.

829
01:06:53,676 --> 01:06:58,013
That's a long way, too.
Doesn't his wife know where they went?

830
01:06:58,597 --> 01:06:59,764
No.

831
01:07:00,349 --> 01:07:04,394
Did you make any arrests this morning,
say between 4:00 a.m. and noon?

832
01:07:04,562 --> 01:07:05,603
Yes, sir.

833
01:07:06,605 --> 01:07:09,024
Four. Three drunks and a traffic citation.

834
01:07:10,526 --> 01:07:12,318
I'd like to talk to them.

835
01:07:12,445 --> 01:07:15,363
They might have seen something
that'll help us.

836
01:07:19,827 --> 01:07:21,786
Where were you going
when you were arrested?

837
01:07:21,871 --> 01:07:22,871
I don't know.

838
01:07:22,955 --> 01:07:25,290
I don't even know
where I was coming from.

839
01:07:26,083 --> 01:07:28,626
- How about you?
- I don't know either.

840
01:07:32,631 --> 01:07:36,634
As I said before,
I prefer the informal type of social life.

841
01:07:37,011 --> 01:07:39,929
- I disagree with you.
- Really?

842
01:07:40,056 --> 01:07:42,265
I'm at my best in my white tie and tails.

843
01:07:42,349 --> 01:07:45,060
All right, Beau Brummell, knock it off.

844
01:07:45,144 --> 01:07:46,269
Look, miss....

845
01:07:46,353 --> 01:07:49,355
- All I did was go through a red light.
- At 60 mph?

846
01:07:49,523 --> 01:07:52,567
- Was something chasing you?
- No, I was in a hurry to get home.

847
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:53,693
Where from?

848
01:07:53,903 --> 01:07:56,780
I spent the night with a sick friend.

849
01:07:57,406 --> 01:08:00,283
I'd rather not mention any names,
he's married.

850
01:08:01,452 --> 01:08:03,119
- Okay, you can go.
- Thank you.

851
01:08:05,581 --> 01:08:09,084
I'm through with them. Let them
go back to the tank and sleep it off.

852
01:08:09,168 --> 01:08:11,795
- All right, let's go.
- With pleasure, sir.

853
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:15,924
You said there were three?

854
01:08:16,008 --> 01:08:18,718
The other one's in the alcoholic ward
at the hospital.

855
01:08:18,803 --> 01:08:21,096
Practically a permanent resident there.

856
01:08:21,263 --> 01:08:22,806
Let's go talk to him, too.

857
01:08:25,726 --> 01:08:28,436
Sneaked out of here Saturday afternoon.
Back at 5:00 this morning.

858
01:08:28,521 --> 01:08:32,023
You can talk to him,
but I don't think he'll cooperate.

859
01:08:32,108 --> 01:08:34,192
Hey, Admiral, are we gonna be drafted?

860
01:08:34,443 --> 01:08:35,485
No, sir.

861
01:08:35,569 --> 01:08:39,489
Behave yourself, Harry.
This is the man. Mind your manners.

862
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:43,034
- If he gives you trouble, I'm outside.
- He won't.

863
01:08:43,119 --> 01:08:45,120
Hello, Jensen. How are you?

864
01:08:45,287 --> 01:08:49,040
How do, gentlemen? Looking for recruits?

865
01:08:49,125 --> 01:08:50,375
Not today.

866
01:08:50,584 --> 01:08:53,503
- Jensen, you come here often, don't you?
- I like it here.

867
01:08:53,587 --> 01:08:56,589
- What have you been doing lately?
- Same as always, nothing.

868
01:08:56,674 --> 01:08:58,174
But I got some deals on.

869
01:08:58,259 --> 01:08:59,801
Sure.

870
01:08:59,969 --> 01:09:03,388
You didn't see anything unusual
yesterday or this morning, did you?

871
01:09:03,556 --> 01:09:06,683
No, nothing unusual. Same as always.

872
01:09:07,685 --> 01:09:09,185
They're gone now.

873
01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:12,522
I saw some little airplanes this morning.

874
01:09:13,524 --> 01:09:15,775
Didn't seem big enough
for them to get into.

875
01:09:16,110 --> 01:09:17,443
Big enough for who?

876
01:09:17,695 --> 01:09:19,112
The ants.

877
01:09:19,572 --> 01:09:22,907
I'd like to get out of here,
but I ain't joining the Army to do it!

878
01:09:23,033 --> 01:09:25,326
- You can't make me, there's laws!
- We know.

879
01:09:25,411 --> 01:09:27,954
Jensen, what kind of ants did you see?

880
01:09:28,289 --> 01:09:29,706
Big ones.

881
01:09:30,708 --> 01:09:32,250
Ain't there now.

882
01:09:32,585 --> 01:09:34,919
- Mostly at night I see them.
- Where?

883
01:09:35,421 --> 01:09:38,298
General, I'll make a deal with you:

884
01:09:38,382 --> 01:09:41,676
If you make me a sergeant in charge
of the booze, and I'll enlist.

885
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,887
Make me a sergeant
in charge of the booze!

886
01:09:43,971 --> 01:09:46,556
Make me a sergeant
in charge of the booze!

887
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,767
- Exactly where do these ants show up?
- In the river.

888
01:09:50,144 --> 01:09:51,519
In the river.

889
01:09:52,188 --> 01:09:54,856
I saw it once when it had water in it.

890
01:09:55,232 --> 01:09:56,941
Now, when was that?

891
01:09:57,818 --> 01:09:59,277
Let me see.

892
01:10:01,447 --> 01:10:02,697
In the river bed.

893
01:10:02,990 --> 01:10:06,826
Those big openings in the sides
are like sewer outlets.

894
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:11,039
Jensen, how long have you been
seeing these things?

895
01:10:11,123 --> 01:10:14,584
A long time. How long have I been here?

896
01:10:15,377 --> 01:10:18,087
The doctor says he was first admitted
five months ago.

897
01:10:18,172 --> 01:10:19,839
Thanks, Mac.

898
01:10:20,257 --> 01:10:23,384
Take me with you and I'll enlist, I promise.

899
01:10:23,469 --> 01:10:24,761
Make me a sergeant!

900
01:10:24,887 --> 01:10:28,223
Give me the booze!
Make me a sergeant. Give me the booze!

901
01:10:30,434 --> 01:10:33,186
Please, my nerves!

902
01:11:08,931 --> 01:11:10,848
Which way is the hospital, Ryan?

903
01:11:11,767 --> 01:11:13,476
Right over there.

904
01:11:24,029 --> 01:11:25,738
Ben, come here.

905
01:11:33,956 --> 01:11:36,791
Pretty good model of a kid's idea of an L-1.

906
01:11:37,293 --> 01:11:40,211
Get on the radio and contact Mrs. Lodge.

907
01:11:40,296 --> 01:11:43,798
Find out if the kids ever owned
a plane like that. Wait for a report.

908
01:11:43,882 --> 01:11:45,091
Right.

909
01:12:14,872 --> 01:12:16,581
Here's tire marks.

910
01:12:20,919 --> 01:12:24,464
New tires. Lodge had new tires
on his car, didn't he?

911
01:12:24,757 --> 01:12:25,798
Yeah.

912
01:12:27,259 --> 01:12:28,634
Hey, Bob! Ben!

913
01:12:43,734 --> 01:12:45,568
It's them all right.

914
01:12:55,996 --> 01:12:57,997
I don't smell formic acid, do you?

915
01:12:58,082 --> 01:13:00,666
No, but it could all fall right into place.

916
01:13:01,168 --> 01:13:04,212
Lodge and his kids
down here flying their model plane.

917
01:13:04,296 --> 01:13:06,339
Suddenly, the ants attack.

918
01:13:06,548 --> 01:13:08,800
Lodge fights to protect his kids.

919
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:12,387
Somehow, he breaks away,
gets into his car, and drives off.

920
01:13:13,722 --> 01:13:15,598
But what about the kids?

921
01:13:15,724 --> 01:13:17,141
Maybe they ran away.

922
01:13:17,434 --> 01:13:19,268
No, we'd have picked them up by now.

923
01:13:20,604 --> 01:13:22,688
Unless they ran in here.

924
01:13:23,816 --> 01:13:24,857
Mr. Graham!

925
01:13:25,776 --> 01:13:28,236
That model plane
belonged to the Lodge kids.

926
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,489
The husband used to bring
the boys down here to fly it.

927
01:13:31,782 --> 01:13:35,952
Got to be the same plane, same color.
And there's no model plane at home.

928
01:13:36,453 --> 01:13:39,580
Where do these things go?
I mean, how far do they go?

929
01:13:39,998 --> 01:13:44,001
Don't know for sure, but there's more
than 700 miles of them under the city.

930
01:13:59,768 --> 01:14:02,228
Why is the Army
sending troops into L.A.?

931
01:14:02,312 --> 01:14:04,272
And a Marine regiment?

932
01:14:04,356 --> 01:14:07,358
Why a special press
conference at 5:00 on a Sunday?

933
01:14:07,443 --> 01:14:10,403
- You'll just have to wait.
- Why all the VIPs from Washington?

934
01:14:10,487 --> 01:14:12,196
Has the cold war gotten hot?

935
01:14:12,281 --> 01:14:14,365
Gentlemen, come in now.

936
01:14:19,663 --> 01:14:24,083
This is the most serious crisis
this city has ever faced.

937
01:14:24,251 --> 01:14:26,752
There's no time for questions.
Listen carefully...

938
01:14:26,837 --> 01:14:29,714
...so you can report the facts
to your newspapers.

939
01:14:29,923 --> 01:14:33,259
This is Dr. Harold Medford
of the Department of Agriculture.

940
01:14:33,343 --> 01:14:36,262
Gen. O'Brien, Air Force Intelligence.

941
01:14:36,555 --> 01:14:40,224
Gen. James, Army Intelligence.
The others you know.

942
01:14:40,767 --> 01:14:42,435
- Ready, sir?
- One moment.

943
01:14:43,896 --> 01:14:46,022
- Set, Charlie?
- You're on.

944
01:14:46,106 --> 01:14:50,109
We interrupt all radio and television
programs indefinitely.

945
01:14:50,486 --> 01:14:53,988
Keep your radio and television sets
turned on. This is an emergency.

946
01:14:53,989 --> 01:14:55,448
Keep your radio and television sets
turned on. This is an emergency.

947
01:14:55,532 --> 01:14:58,326
I repeat, this is an emergency!

948
01:14:59,620 --> 01:15:02,580
"By direction of the President
of the United States...

949
01:15:02,748 --> 01:15:06,626
"...and the Governor of the State
of California, and the Mayor...

950
01:15:07,085 --> 01:15:09,170
"...the city of Los Angeles is...

951
01:15:09,505 --> 01:15:13,758
"...in the interests of public safety,
hereby under martial law.

952
01:15:18,138 --> 01:15:20,097
"Curfew is at 1800 hours.

953
01:15:20,974 --> 01:15:24,477
"Any persons on the street or outside
their quarters after 6:00 p.m...

954
01:15:24,478 --> 01:15:25,520
"Any persons on the street or outside
their quarters after 6:00 p.m...

955
01:15:26,146 --> 01:15:28,606
"...will be subject to arrest
by military police."

956
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:31,734
Now as for the reasons
for this most drastic decision:

957
01:15:32,903 --> 01:15:37,031
A couple of months ago in the New Mexico
desert, giant ants were discovered.

958
01:15:37,157 --> 01:15:40,660
They're similar in appearance
to the ones you're familiar with.

959
01:15:40,661 --> 01:15:42,495
They're similar in appearance
to the ones you're familiar with.

960
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,582
Except they are mutations,
ranging in size from 9 to 12 feet in length.

961
01:15:46,583 --> 01:15:47,959
Except they are mutations,
ranging in size from 9 to 12 feet in length.

962
01:15:48,585 --> 01:15:52,129
The New Mexico colony was destroyed,
but two queen ants escaped.

963
01:15:52,381 --> 01:15:56,425
One has been found and destroyed.
The other has not yet been found.

964
01:15:57,177 --> 01:16:00,680
It has established a nest in the storm
drains beneath the streets of Los Angeles.

965
01:16:00,681 --> 01:16:03,307
It has established a nest in the storm
drains beneath the streets of Los Angeles.

966
01:16:03,433 --> 01:16:06,727
It's not known how long this nest
has been established...

967
01:16:06,979 --> 01:16:09,939
...or how many of these
lethal monsters have hatched.

968
01:16:10,274 --> 01:16:13,109
Maybe a few, maybe thousands.

969
01:16:14,027 --> 01:16:16,821
If new queen ants have hatched
and escaped this nest...

970
01:16:17,364 --> 01:16:20,825
...other American cities may be in danger.

971
01:16:21,368 --> 01:16:23,619
These creatures are extremely dangerous.

972
01:16:24,496 --> 01:16:26,706
They've already killed
a number of persons.

973
01:16:26,790 --> 01:16:30,251
Stay in your homes.
I repeat, stay in your homes!

974
01:16:30,836 --> 01:16:33,796
Your personal safety,
the safety of the entire city...

975
01:16:34,464 --> 01:16:37,883
...depends upon your full cooperation
with the military authorities.

976
01:17:00,824 --> 01:17:02,950
You got a pass to be down here, lady?

977
01:17:03,035 --> 01:17:06,621
- No, but I'm with Mrs. Lodge.
- This is a restricted area. Let's go.

978
01:17:06,705 --> 01:17:07,830
Hold it, Sergeant!

979
01:17:08,165 --> 01:17:10,082
- This is the mother--
- They have no pass--

980
01:17:10,167 --> 01:17:12,376
Go talk to the general.

981
01:17:14,338 --> 01:17:15,880
Good evening, Mrs. Lodge.

982
01:17:17,549 --> 01:17:19,425
- Is there any word yet?
- No, not yet.

983
01:17:19,509 --> 01:17:22,136
We've got an awful lot of people
to help find them.

984
01:17:22,262 --> 01:17:25,765
- This may take awhile. Why not go home?
- Oh, no.

985
01:17:26,224 --> 01:17:30,353
- I want to be here when--
- Sure. Take it easy and try not to worry.

986
01:17:36,610 --> 01:17:38,944
Since time is of the essence...

987
01:17:39,029 --> 01:17:42,031
...I recommend we pour gasoline
into those drains and light it.

988
01:17:42,115 --> 01:17:45,242
It'll burn out anything in there
and we can still control the fire...

989
01:17:45,327 --> 01:17:47,870
...so there'll be no property damage
on the street.

990
01:17:47,954 --> 01:17:50,665
Any ants that get through,
the troops can take care of.

991
01:17:50,749 --> 01:17:54,877
We can't do that until we know
whether those two kids are in there.

992
01:17:54,961 --> 01:17:57,254
Think there's a chance they're still alive?

993
01:17:57,464 --> 01:18:00,800
Are we supposed to jeopardize
the lives of everyone for children...

994
01:18:00,884 --> 01:18:02,802
...who in all probability are already dead?

995
01:18:02,886 --> 01:18:06,222
- Ask their mother that question.
- She's right over there.

996
01:18:12,604 --> 01:18:13,979
I see what you mean.

997
01:18:14,064 --> 01:18:17,149
We not only have her to think of,
but as I told you before...

998
01:18:17,234 --> 01:18:20,778
...we can't risk fire until we know
if any new queens have hatched...

999
01:18:20,862 --> 01:18:23,906
...and flown out of this nest.
Where's Gen. O'Brien?

1000
01:18:24,074 --> 01:18:26,534
- He's over there by the command car.
- Thank you.

1001
01:18:27,786 --> 01:18:30,037
- Can we start now, General?
- I think so.

1002
01:18:30,247 --> 01:18:33,457
- How about it, Major?
- Waiting for more coverage to the north.

1003
01:18:33,583 --> 01:18:35,876
Contact the northern units, soldier.

1004
01:18:36,211 --> 01:18:39,547
- Northern units come in.
- How about the south?

1005
01:18:39,673 --> 01:18:41,424
All drains as far as Long Beach...

1006
01:18:41,508 --> 01:18:43,509
...are covered by bazookas
or flamethrowers.

1007
01:18:43,593 --> 01:18:46,387
- Openings of these drains?
- Police and Marines are covering.

1008
01:18:46,471 --> 01:18:48,013
How about it, soldier?

1009
01:18:48,306 --> 01:18:50,391
Can't contact northern units, sir.

1010
01:18:50,851 --> 01:18:52,685
Let's go ahead anyway.

1011
01:18:52,936 --> 01:18:56,313
Gen. O'Brien to all search units:
Proceed into storm drains!

1012
01:18:58,525 --> 01:19:00,443
- Yes, sir?
- Get moving.

1013
01:19:00,527 --> 01:19:02,820
Come on, boys,
let's get rolling!

1014
01:19:02,904 --> 01:19:04,488
Roll them out of here!

1015
01:19:13,915 --> 01:19:15,666
Watch yourself, Bob.

1016
01:20:52,305 --> 01:20:53,889
Graham in drain 203.

1017
01:20:54,182 --> 01:20:58,519
Graham in drain 203. In six-tenths
of a mile, nothing to report. Over.

1018
01:20:59,229 --> 01:21:00,729
Medford in drain 207.

1019
01:21:00,814 --> 01:21:04,859
Medford in drain 207.
In half of a mile. Nothing to report, over.

1020
01:21:05,151 --> 01:21:06,610
Peterson in drain 223.

1021
01:21:06,695 --> 01:21:10,948
Peterson in 223, we're in six-tenths
of a mile. Nothing to report, over.

1022
01:21:11,241 --> 01:21:12,867
This is Kibbee in drain 192.

1023
01:21:12,951 --> 01:21:16,453
Repeat, Kibbee in 192, in eight-tenths.
Nothing to report, over.

1024
01:21:16,454 --> 01:21:17,663
Repeat, Kibbee in 192, in eight-tenths.
Nothing to report, over.

1025
01:21:22,752 --> 01:21:24,420
Wait a minute, hold it.

1026
01:21:25,130 --> 01:21:26,463
Kill the motor.

1027
01:21:32,262 --> 01:21:33,929
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.

1028
01:21:36,308 --> 01:21:38,684
This is Peterson! Stop all motors!

1029
01:21:39,352 --> 01:21:42,313
This is Peterson! Stop all motors!

1030
01:22:01,541 --> 01:22:03,417
This is Peterson in drain 223.

1031
01:22:03,501 --> 01:22:07,379
Peterson in drain 223. We're in
just over a mile. I hear something.

1032
01:22:12,552 --> 01:22:14,511
There it is again. Stand by.

1033
01:22:23,855 --> 01:22:25,689
Where does this thing go?

1034
01:22:30,028 --> 01:22:33,697
That pipe runs into a main line
drain that isn't finished yet.

1035
01:22:33,782 --> 01:22:35,574
Still in the construction stage.

1036
01:22:40,872 --> 01:22:42,414
Give me a hand.

1037
01:22:47,879 --> 01:22:49,421
Tell them where I'm going.

1038
01:22:51,633 --> 01:22:55,386
Peterson is going through
the connecting feeder to drain 267.

1039
01:22:55,679 --> 01:23:00,140
We've heard what may be the kids.
Repeat, we've heard what may be the kids.

1040
01:23:00,475 --> 01:23:01,517
Stand by.

1041
01:23:03,895 --> 01:23:06,271
- There's construction down there?
- Yeah.

1042
01:23:06,356 --> 01:23:10,275
- Tell O'Brien to turn the work lights on.
- Right.

1043
01:23:11,945 --> 01:23:15,072
My map shows a portion of drain 267
is unfinished...

1044
01:23:15,156 --> 01:23:18,158
...with construction postponed
for the last 60 days.

1045
01:23:18,326 --> 01:23:21,829
If they've left work lights installed,
turn them on. Stand by.

1046
01:23:21,830 --> 01:23:23,288
If they've left work lights installed,
turn them on. Stand by.

1047
01:23:53,611 --> 01:23:57,031
Mike? Jerry? Are you there?

1048
01:23:57,115 --> 01:24:00,200
- Yes, we're here!
- Schmitty, they're alive!

1049
01:24:00,285 --> 01:24:01,243
They're alive.

1050
01:24:01,453 --> 01:24:03,662
Tell Mrs. Lodge her boys are alive.

1051
01:24:16,801 --> 01:24:20,304
Mike, Jerry, stay where you are!
We'll get you out, but don't move!

1052
01:24:20,305 --> 01:24:21,638
Mike, Jerry, stay where you are!
We'll get you out, but don't move!

1053
01:24:22,182 --> 01:24:23,932
There's two ants in here.

1054
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:27,853
I got a strong brood odor,
like in the New Mexico nest!

1055
01:24:28,313 --> 01:24:32,524
Report that to O'Brien.
Tell him I must be near the nest.

1056
01:24:32,609 --> 01:24:36,153
I can't use the flamethrower.
The kids are right in the line of fire.

1057
01:24:36,237 --> 01:24:38,197
Tell O'Brien to send in troops.

1058
01:24:46,623 --> 01:24:50,084
Peterson says it has the same
smell as the nest in New Mexico.

1059
01:24:50,168 --> 01:24:53,629
"Brood odor," he calls it.
He asks for troops to be sent in.

1060
01:24:53,797 --> 01:24:55,464
He's found the nest!

1061
01:24:55,673 --> 01:25:00,010
To all units, condition red.
Drain 267 is the target area!

1062
01:25:00,095 --> 01:25:03,180
Repeat, condition red.
Drain 267 is the target area!

1063
01:25:38,925 --> 01:25:41,885
Repeat, condition red.
Drain 267 is the target area.

1064
01:25:41,970 --> 01:25:45,514
O'Connors, bring up my jeep.
I hope we've found this nest in time.

1065
01:26:16,462 --> 01:26:18,255
Mike, Jerry, get in the corner!

1066
01:26:30,101 --> 01:26:32,477
Come on Jerry, Mike,
let's get out of here!

1067
01:26:34,397 --> 01:26:35,814
Come on, Mike.

1068
01:26:37,025 --> 01:26:40,861
We're going through this pipe.
There's a man at the other end.

1069
01:26:40,945 --> 01:26:44,198
Keep crawling until you get down there.
Understand?

1070
01:26:44,574 --> 01:26:46,867
Grab hold. Go on.

1071
01:26:47,577 --> 01:26:49,703
Keep crawling, to the other end.

1072
01:27:20,777 --> 01:27:22,486
Put your light over there!

1073
01:27:32,247 --> 01:27:33,538
Keep at them!

1074
01:27:40,755 --> 01:27:41,797
Ben.

1075
01:27:44,425 --> 01:27:47,094
- How about the kids, Ben?
- They're okay.

1076
01:27:48,429 --> 01:27:49,471
The pipe....

1077
01:27:52,892 --> 01:27:54,184
Medics!

1078
01:28:33,766 --> 01:28:36,476
- Stop the firing!
- Cease fire!

1079
01:28:36,561 --> 01:28:39,354
No more explosives,
we can't risk closing off the nest.

1080
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,231
Is there any type of gas we can use?

1081
01:28:41,357 --> 01:28:43,775
We can't take a chance,
might poison the whole city.

1082
01:28:43,860 --> 01:28:48,238
We must locate the egg chamber,
find out if any new queens have hatched.

1083
01:29:08,301 --> 01:29:09,760
Medics!

1084
01:29:33,618 --> 01:29:35,243
Start digging, you guys.

1085
01:29:43,086 --> 01:29:45,045
Hurry up, dig.

1086
01:31:02,165 --> 01:31:04,791
Hold it. Don't burn anything
until we get the okay.

1087
01:31:04,876 --> 01:31:07,127
- General, where's Dr. Medford?
- He's coming.

1088
01:31:16,804 --> 01:31:18,180
Is this it, Doctor?

1089
01:31:19,182 --> 01:31:21,433
New princess ants.
New queens.

1090
01:31:23,019 --> 01:31:27,272
This is the egg chamber.
The same as we found in New Mexico.

1091
01:31:29,066 --> 01:31:30,484
Are we too late?

1092
01:31:30,985 --> 01:31:32,736
Fortunately, we're in time.

1093
01:31:32,904 --> 01:31:35,739
I'm certain no new queens have escaped
from this nest.

1094
01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:38,492
The job will be done
when these are destroyed.

1095
01:31:38,910 --> 01:31:40,243
Okay, burn them out.

1096
01:31:47,668 --> 01:31:52,088
Pat, if these monsters are a result
of the first atomic bomb in 1945...

1097
01:31:52,507 --> 01:31:55,258
...what about all the others
that have been exploded since then?

1098
01:31:55,343 --> 01:31:56,384
I don't know.

1099
01:31:56,761 --> 01:31:58,303
Nobody knows, Robert.

1100
01:31:59,388 --> 01:32:03,767
When man entered the atomic age,
he opened a door into a new world.

1101
01:32:04,852 --> 01:32:09,105
What we'll eventually find
in that new world, nobody can predict.
