All language subtitles for 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)

NARRATOR: Great scientific
advances are often
sudden accomplished facts

before most of us are even
dimly aware of them.

Breathtakingly unexpected
was the flash that
announced the atomic age.

Equally unexpected was
the next stride, when man
moved out of his very orbit

to a point more than
20 million miles to Earth.

Pepe! Is it your desire
that the fishes,
they swim away?

Come on!
Pull up on the net!

Fishnets. Many big ropes
to catch a little fish.

Now, in Texas,
that's where one little rope,
she catches a big cow!

The net, the net.

Texas.

Texas.

What is that?
Oh, Mondello, you do not
know of Texas?

She is a big country
across the sea,
near America.

That's where the cowboys. . .
Silenzio!

(AIRCRAFT APPROACHING)

Look!

We go back.
Why, Verrico?

It is a possibility
that in the aircraft
there may be people.

But, Verrico,
that is no usual aircraft.
There are no people on it.

Oh, Mondello, you know
this thing you say, huh?

You were perhaps
inside of it, huh?

What are we?
Children or men of the sea?

We go back.
We go back!

Look, a hole.

VERRICO: Pepe, the boat hook!

Mondello, you come with me.
I may need your help.

Why me, Verrico? Why me?

Do you not boast
to be the bravest man
in all Sicily? Come on!

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(PEPE SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(CRASHING)

This man, he still lives.
Take him to the boat, quickly.

Take him.

Bring him.

(GASPS)

MONDELLO: Verrico!

Verrico!

Row, row, Pepe.
It's dangerous here.
Verrico!

There may be
other people inside.

MONDELLO: Never mind
the others! Save yourself!

(GRUNTING)

The oars.

There must be more than
two men in there.

Almost certainly, Pepe,
but we could not reach them.

May they rest in peace.

From all indications,
she's splashed in
somewhere right here.

Twenty thousand leagues
under the sea.

Perhaps not, General.
Calder may have
regained control.

I appreciate
your optimism, Doctor,
but that's the way it reads.

We got a radar blip
on her just off Iceland.

Altitude, 200 miles.
Rate of descent,
what was it?

Thirty-five hundred feet
per minute, sir.

Another sighting by Stillman
from Marseilles.

Rate of descent,
still 3,500 feet per minute.

I'm sorry, Doctor.
That puts her right down
with the fish.

What makes me sick inside
is that they were so close,
so very close.

They made it there,
and almost made it back.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Major Stacey speaking.

Hold it. Tell the General.

Mclntosh. Yes?

Where?
Is that confirmed?

Thank you.
She's down off Sicily, Doctor.

Only a few kilometers
off the coast of
a fishing village named Gerra.

Where is it? Gerra. . .
There it is, right there.

We'll need the cooperation
of the Italians,

so get the State Department
on the phone.

Tell them we've got
a green light,

and get the Italian embassy
to clear a path.

Tell them to roll up
the red tape

and put it in a drawer
until this thing is over.

Yes, sir.
After that, call Transport.

Tell them the Doctor and I
are leaving now for Sicily.

Yes, sir.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(SEAGULLS CAWING)

Take them
to the Comune di Gerra,
quickly.

Mondello,
get a doctor, subito.

(RESPONDS IN ITALIAN)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Verrico, you were
inside the wreck.

Were only
those two men aboard?

No, I was inside
with Mondello.
We saw one more man

but it was a certainty
he was dead.

But, signor commissario,
the ship of the air,
she was so big, so vast.

Surely there must have been
other men inside, too.

COMMISARIO:
I want you to remember
everything that happened,

and tell me about it slowly.

(MONDELLO SPEAKING ITALIAN)

The doctor is not at home.
He's at Signora Martinelli's

who's to have a bambino.
Perhaps twins, as before.
Who knows?

And Signor Martinelli
is a very sick man.
That's too bad.

There is that doctor
from Rome, traveling with
his American granddaughter.

Is he still here?
The man with the house
on the wheels?

Pepe would know. Pepe!

Pepe sells him
worthless shellfish,
anything of no value.

Pepe!

Pepe!

Si, Verrico,
you have need for me?

That old Dottore from Rome,
do you know where he is?

Dr. Leonardo?

Dr. Leonardo?

He is camped on via Messina,
a kilometer from the residence
of Signor Groppi.

Good. You know
where the place is?
Of course.

Get the doctor here at once.

(RESPONDS IN ITALIAN)

Pepe.

Dr. Leonardo!

Dr. Leonardo!

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

MONDELLO: Come with me,
please. Come, now.

A great aircraft
fell into the sea.

It's a terrible tragedy.
Two men, they need you.

Slowly, slowly, my friend.
Do I understand there's been
an air crash and men are hurt?

The only doctor we have
is with Sognora Martinelli

who's having twins,
perhaps more. Who knows?

But I'm afraid I wouldn't be
of any help. I'm a doctor
in zoology, not medicine.

But my granddaughter,
it is possible, Marisa.

You are a doctor of people
with hurts?

Not yet.
Not for another year.

I'll do the best I can.

(EXCLAIMING IN ITALIAN)

MONDELLO: Come this way.

Be back as soon
as I can, Grandpa.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)

Good afternoon,
my merchant friend.

And what is it you wish
to sell me today

at an exorbitant rate,
I'm certain?

An inedible clam which you're
willing to part with for
very little money, I'm sure.

Dr. Leonardo.

You are a kind man.
A just man.

A man of much learning.
A man of great wealth.

A man of wealth,
a professor of. . .

Of course, Pepe. Come on in,
my Sicilian bandit,
and we'll bargain.

You have 200 lire?

There's a possibility
that I have such a fortune.

Tell me, let me see
this great treasure
of such great value.

You have 200 lire with you,
in your purse?
Yes.

That is a true fact?
Sure, that is a true fact.

But, tell me,
why is your need so great
and so urgent?

Because with the 200 lire,
I can purchase the hat
from Texas.

Please, may I have
my money now?

A hat from Texas?
I don't understand you, Pepe.

It is the hat the cowboys wear
when they shoot the bandito.

(MIMICKING GUN FIRING)

And the man, he is dead.
Those American movies.

For so great a need, Pepe,
you deserve the 200 lire.

(COUNTING IN ITALIAN)

Now, let me see.
What you got?

Hey, I'd better get
my money's worth

or I'm coming after you,
believe me.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Pepe! Pepe!

Pepe! Pepe!

Si, Doctor?
Where did you find that thing?

In the water, Doctor.
In the sea.

I know. You want to
know where you are.

In Gerra.

Gerra?

A village in southern Sicily.

About where we figured.

The others,

how are they?

Well, as far as I know,
your aircraft is
at the bottom of the sea.

Whoever else was on it. . .
Except for this man.

His condition is critical.

I'm sorry,
but you're in no condition
to get out of bed.

Doctor! Dr. Sharman!
I must ask you
to leave this man alone!

Please. Dr. Sharman!
He's extremely ill.

Can you hear me?
Go back to your bed.

Nurse, I'm in no mood
to argue with you.
I'm not a nurse!

I'm a doctor,
or almost a doctor,
and this man may be dying.

All right, "almost-a-doctor."
Do you know
what's wrong with him?

No, not exactly.
Well, I do.
And I know it's fatal.

Eight of my crew
have already died from it.

If you must stay,
stand still and be quiet.

Dr. Sharman! Can you hear me?
Will you please lie down?

Doctor.

(MUTTERING)

Are we going to make it?
Make it back?

We are back. We are back!

You're suffering
from exhaustion.
Quiet!

The animal specimen.

Is it all right?
I don't know.

We crashed
into the Mediterranean,

and I guess
it went down with the wreck.

The others are dead.

Make them find it.

My notes.

Doctor.

Will you lie down?
Nurse!

Doctor, how long
can it live encased
in that metal cylinder?

I've got to know.
It's our only hope.

. . .cooperative, informative.
Altogether, a joy
and a pleasure to be around.

Now, what specimen?
What fatal disease?

Would you mind telling me
what this is all about?

I'm sorry.

I mean it.

But I can't.
Can't or won't?

Both.

He's dead.

I know.

You better get some sleep.

Pleasant dreams.

(SQUEALS)

Grandpa.

Grandpa!

What is it, mia cara?

(SQUEALING)

My gloves.
Where are my gloves?

Under the table.

What is it?
Where did it come from?

Pepe, the little fisher-boy.
I've never seen anything
like this before.

There is no scientific record
of such a creature.

Look at the torso.
The torso is that of
a human being.

And the articulation
of the legs. Look at it.

Look at it.

But from where?

(SQUEALING)

The cage. The cage, Marisa.

Soft cloth.
The flooring of the cage
is rough and hard.

So very ugly,
and yet it seems
so frightened.

Come inside, mia cara.

Marisa, come.

(SQUEALING)

Marisa!

Marisa!

What is it, Grandpa?

Come here. Come here.

Observe, mia cara.
Observe our strange friend.

Look how much
he's grown in a few hours.
It's unbelievable.

Think, Marisa.

Think of what will be said
when I bring
this strange creature

to the giardino zoologico
in Rome.

Now I'm going to the village,
and I'm going to see

the young fisher-boy
and learn where in the sea
he found our friend.

(MIMICKING GUN FIRING)

(BECKONING IN ITALIAN)

Can you inform me
of the whereabouts of Pepe?

Pepe? He's right over here
playing like a Texas cowboy.

Where?

Oh, he is gone.
Yet he was here
a few moments ago.

I will see him tonight,
and I'll tell him
to seek you tomorrow.

No, tomorrow I won't be here.
I'm just now
on my way to Rome.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(MIMICKING GUN FIRING)

Welcome to Gerra.
May I introduce myself,
General?

I am Signor Unte,
commissario of police.

Thank you.
This is Dr. Uhl.

It's a pleasure.
How do you do, sir?

From the government in Rome,
I received a telegram.
I am to cooperate with you.

I'm at your service,
signore.

If you will come with me,
I will take you
to Colonel Calder.

He's not badly hurt?

No, General, don't you worry.
He recovers quickly.

It was all I could do
to keep him from coming
to meet you himself.

This way, please.

Congratulations, Bob!
You made it!

First man in all history.
How does it feel?
Fine, sir, except that. . .

Yes, I know.

It's tragic the others died
in the moment of their glory.

But still, and I mean it,
you deserve congratulations.

Mine, too, Bob.
You did a magnificent,
heroic job.

Is there some place
we can talk privately?

My office is yours.
This way, please.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(GREETING IN ITALIAN)

I am honored, signore.
May I introduce Signor Contino

from the Italian Department
of State? General Mclntosh.

Colonel Calder.
Dr. Uhl.

How do you do, sir?

Thank you for coming
so promptly, signore.

And I want to thank
your government for expressing
its desire to cooperate.

I must beg you, however,
for the moment,
to observe strict secrecy.

It is understood.

What I have to say,
you will find incredible
but true.

Colonel Calder here
has just returned
from an expedition to Venus.

To Venice?
Perhaps you mean "Venezia"?

To Venus. The planet Venus.

The planet Venus?
That is correct.

I was informed
this matter was connected
with something vast,

but the planet Venus?

Man's first
interplanetary voyage.

On the return trip,
the spaceship was crippled
by a meteor.

Except for
Colonel Calder here,
the entire crew perished.

I am grieved.
The problem
that confronts us is this,

Venus' atmosphere is such
that a human can't breathe
and survive for long

even after using
what we considered foolproof
respiratory equipment.

Several members
of the expedition died

before the others
realized the danger.

Dr. Sharman,
the chief scientist,
also became fatally ill.

He died here,
after the ship crashed.

Fascinating.
Horrible, but fascinating.

Now, on that ship
was a particular sealed
metal container.

In it is an unborn specimen
of animal life on the planet.
We've got to find it.

Our task is to discover
in what way life is able
to survive and flourish there.

Not until that secret
is learned can another
expedition return.

And return we must, for
on Venus important minerals
were discovered

that would be of vast benefit
to our civilization.

I am at your disposal,
General.

In what way may I assist you?

We need several divers
to descend to the wreck
to search for the specimen.

They will be here
in the morning.

Don't you want me
to drive for a while?

No, no.
Non sono stanco, grazie.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(THANKING IN ITALIAN)

I should like to speak
to the two fishermen
who went aboard the wreck.

Of course.
I have them waiting here.

Now, if you will come
with me, please.

Verrico, Mondello,
one moment
of your time, please.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

This is Verrico
and this is Mondello.

They are the two men
who went inside the ship
before she sank.

The American general wishes
to speak to you of an item
of great importance.

We are looking
for a cylinder. . .

about this high
and about this round.

Probably, it went down
with the ship, but there's
the possibility it was

knocked loose
and may drift ashore somewhere

today, tomorrow, who knows?

It is so important that
we recover this container
and its contents

that I have offered the reward
of a half million lire.

Please spread
that information. . .

You will not take my hat?
Silenzio, Pepe.
The General is speaking.

Continue, General.
Wait!

What is it?
What is it you wish to say?

If I speak of the thing
from the ship

then you must promise me
that I may keep my hat

from the great country
of Texas.

Of course,
you may keep your hat.

What do you know
about the container?

And there is the matter
of a half million lire.

How much is that?

Sufficient to purchase for me
a cowboy horse
like they ride in Texas?

Enough to buy many horses.
What do you know
about the container?

You promise to me
about the hat,
about the horses?

You have my promise, son.

It is there.

Come on,
follow me.

Please, may I have my horse?
Empty.

I know where it is.
The thing from inside.

Where is it?

I took it
to Professor Leonardo

and sold it to him
for 200 lire.

That's how
I have the hat from Texas.

Professor Leonardo,
where is he?

He must be somewhere
on the road to Messina.

He said
he was going to Rome.

How will we find him?
How will we know him?

He drives a truck with a house
that follows like a goat.

A trailer.

Find it quickly.
I'll wait here
for the divers.

Yes, sir. Come on.

Would you
accompany the Colonel?
Of course, General.

Besides, I have to see a man
about a horse

and a half million lire.

What?
The canvas has come loose.

I'd better stop then.

You know, it occurs to me
that our friend
is perhaps a mutation,

but of what species,
I do not know.

Now, here,
you catch this
on the other side.

There's also
the possibility

that it might be a type
of throwback toward
the prehistoric and unknown.

(CREATURE GROWLING)

(GROWLING)

(MARISA SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

(SCREECHING)

Are you hurt?

No, I don't think so.

I guess I frightened it
as much as it frightened me.

But its claw
was so strangely hot.

I beg your pardon,
but you must be. . .

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

A strange animal has escaped.
Like something
you've never seen?

Like something
no one has seen before.

It broke out of its cage
and grabbed me by the arm.

Hello, "almost-a-doctor."

This creature,
tell me about it.

Well, first it was this high.

Then this high.

Now it is tall,
nearly as tall as a man.

Is that the normal
rate of growth?

No, not as far as I know.

The only data we have
is in Dr. Sharman's notes.

Where's the animal now?
It fled into the woods.

Let's go.

Wait. What is that creature?
Where does it come from?

I must know.
We will go with you.

I'm sorry, Professor.
I can't now.
Thanks for your help.

It looks as though my patient
has fully recovered.

(DOG WHIMPERS)

Carlo.

Don't move!

Stay where you are.

Let's back out quietly.

(GROWLING)

Incredible!

The creature has
to be taken alive.

There's a cart outside.

Would you have your men
bring it in the barn?

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Now, will you get me
a long wooden pole?

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

I've had nightmares
in my time, but I've never
dreamed of anything like this.

Actually, they're not
ferocious unless provoked.

That poor dog must have
jumped him first.

That's good.

(CREATURE GROWLING)

That's just
what I need. Grazie.

Now, I'm going to try
and prod the creature
right into that cart.

If I can get him in there,
be ready to shut that gate.

(SCREECHING)

Come on down, fellow.
Jump!

Come on.

(GROWLING)

All right, men,
over this way.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

I don't like it.

Colonel?
Yeah.

I hate to intrude
on your private thoughts,

but I'd like to
change your bandage.

You're worried
about what happened today

about where the creature
is tonight, aren't you?

We'll find him.
We've got to.

I guess I've been
pretty inconsiderate
and self-centered.

You've had a lot on your mind.

If that's an apology,
I think it went
in the wrong direction.

All you've done is try to help

and all I've done
is snarl at you.

I hope, when this is all over,
you'll let me try
to make it up to you

over a table for two
in a dark cafe.

With a candle burning
on the table?

And a bottle of wine.

Bob?

Bob Calder!
Excuse me.

Here's something, Bob.

Sharman wrote
that the basic diet

of the creatures
is raw sulfur.

I remember that.
There are rich sulfur beds
in Sicily.

Not many kilometers from here,
at the base of Mount Etna.

We'll scour the mountains
at first light.

If the creature's there,
we'll recapture it.

I would consider it an honor
to offer the facilities

of the giardino zoologico
in Rome for its observation
and examination.

That will not be necessary,
gentlemen.

There is no longer
an attempt to recapture
the monster alive.

I don't understand.

I must inform you, signore,
there is no more cooperation
between us.

The beast must be destroyed!

It has injured one man badly,
and he might kill others.

My duty is to the welfare
of my people. Not this
crazy scientific experiment!

Signor commissario,
you can't do that!

Signor commissario,
please wait.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Get in.

That is my position.

The safety of the people
in this district is my affair,

my primary affair.
As long as I am commissario.

It may be,
you can have me replaced.

That, of course,
is your privilege.

Until then,
I intend to function
as commissario.

You are
an efficient man, signor.
A man of sincerity.

There will be no thought
of replacing you.

Then I must say that
at daybreak, I intend to use
all means at my disposal

to destroy that creature
before it kills someone.

But you can't do that.
Bob.

Yes, sir.

May I remind you
that the commissario

is a Sicilian police chief
performing his duties?

I know that, sir, but. . .

But what?

Would there be any objection
if Dr. Uhl and I

tried to track it
and take it alive?

Before the commissarioo
has him killed?
Not from me. Signor Contino?

How do you propose
to do this?

On Venus,
we discovered by accident
that these creatures

are susceptible
to electric shock,

and that controlled voltage
can paralyze them.

If we could have
two helicopters and a squad
of armed paratroopers

we might be able to
drop a charged wire net
on the beast.

A net!

All I ask, sir,
is permission to try.

If this can be done
before any human life
is threatened

the Italian government
will have no objection.

Bob, you'll have your copters.
Thank you, sir.

Thank you, signore.

The hook is working fine, sir.
That's good, Sergeant.

Take those sacks of sulfur
over to the other copter.

We're taking over a load
of sulfur to feed our prisoner
when we capture him.

if the commissario
doesn't catch it first.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Doc, this is like a parachute.
It's got to work
the first time.

Right.

All right, men.
Load up. Let's go.

(DOGS BARKING)

(GROWLING)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(GUN FIRING)

Let's use the back road.
There's a waterfall.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

(SCREECHING)

(GROWLING)

We've spotted the animal,
it's by those sulfur beds.

Right.

We can't drop the net
until it's cleared.
I'll drop the sulfur now.

It's taking the bait.
We're ready to move.

Okay, we'll stand by.

Another few feet
and you've got it.

Drop it!

(SCREECHING)

(GROWLING)

Hurry it up!

Careful.

(ROARING)

We're ready, Doc.

Jump clear.

Hit it!

(SCREAMING)

Maples here.

No, John,
nothing's happened yet.

Yes, I will.

If you will all come in,
please, the General
will see you now.

It looks like something now.
Keep a line open.

Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen
of the press.

I am fully aware of the rumors
that began with an air crash
ten days ago

off the coast of Sicily.

Not until now
have I received permission

to make known the facts
exactly as they are.

This cablegram has been signed
by the United States
Secretary of Defense.

"In the face
of widespread speculation,
and after consultation

"with governments,
the President has authorized
release of all information

"to press and news agencies
for their
immediate publication.

"The airship XY-21,

"which crashed
into the Mediterranean Sea
on the 11th

"was a single-stage,
astro-propelled rocket
launched 13 months ago

"from a site
within the United States.

"The rocket,
with its complement of 17 men,

"had landed
on the planet Venus. . ."

Venus?
The planet Venus?

". . .had landed
on the planet Venus

"and was on the return
to Earth when the ship

"plunged into the sea."

There was one survivor:
Colonel Calder,
seated beside me.

Commander of the expedition.

Some of you may have
heard the story of a monster
now confined in Rome's zoo.

That beast is from Venus.

It is an essential object
of scientific study

if man is to survive
the atmosphere on Venus,
poisonous to humans.

May we be allowed
to see this creature?

I ask you to select
three of your number

to accompany Colonel Calder
to the zoo.

Those selected by you
will, of course,
pool their interviews

with the entire press corps
and we will furnish you
all necessary photos.

Well, I guess that's all,
and thank you
for your patience.

Sorry, old boy,
my line.

John, get this. . .

(TRUMPETING)

The size!

Eight days ago,
it was about this tall.

How do you account
for its rate of growth?
Or is that normal on Venus?

No, it isn't.
The scientists here believe
the Earth's atmosphere

has upset
its metabolic rate.

The more it breathes,
the more tissue it builds,
the bigger it gets.

If you'll follow me, please.

You've probably heard
of Dr. Gerhart Blankfurt
of Vienna.

Probably the world's top man
in anesthesia.

It's the doctor's job to keep
the creature unconscious
during the examination.

Now, you'll note
the wire running down
to the creature's wrist.

Dr. Blankfurt keeps
1,800 volts of electricity
coursing through the body.

More voltage and it would die.
Less, it would awaken.

Amazing.
Utterly amazing.

You can get a better look
at the wrist connection
this way.

This is Dr. Koroku
of the University of Tokyo.

He's assisting Dr. Uhl.

Another attempt to pry secrets
from the creature, Doctor?

We hope
this electro-dynamometer

will enable us
to complete our examination

of the oral passages.

Could you give us
any positive statement on
your progress so far, Doctor?

So far, we have come
to one conclusion.

The creature's
olfactory system
is more highly developed

than any known on this planet.

We'll find Dr. Uhl
on the platform.
He's the man in charge.

Sixty-seven cc's. Correct?

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

They're feeding
the creature
a compound of sulfur.

Now, sulfur serves it
as our vitamins do us.

Grandpa, will you
need me anymore?
No.

You caught me unprepared.

I've been cooking over
a hot creature all day.

You get lovelier
every time I see you.

Or is it the lights
in this room?

Well, next to that,
I look dandy.

Colonel, when you have
a free moment

I'd like to tell you
about the latest nightmare
I've had.

They're busy for the moment,
tell me now.

Well. . .

it concerns a dark cafe

a small table,
a bottle of wine.

And a burning candle?

And that candle's
burning lower and lower.

Pretty soon
it's going to burn out.

Well, maybe if we hurry,
we can find that dark cafe
before it's too late.

Good.

Now, don't go away.
I won't.

If you'll come over here,
please.
Dr. Uhl is expecting you.

Dr. Uhl, I present
Miss Reynolds, United Press.
Mr. Maples of Reuters.

This is Monsieur Lacroix,
News France.
How do you do?

General Mclntosh has told us
the importance

of knowing how this animal
survives on Venus.

We discovered the creature's
respiratory system
includes sort of

a fibrous filtering element
which blocks out all of
the poisonous vapors on Venus.

Fortunately,
we've been able to duplicate
that system almost exactly.

It's like a plastic sponge.

It is made of
one of the new synthetics.

By the way,

there's a rumor
that gunfire has no effect
on the beast. Why?

This beast has no heart
and it has no lungs.

It has instead a network
of small tubes
throughout its entire body.

Hence, firearms effect
no great damage. Yes, Lee?

Dynamometer is coming
on the platform now.

Please, right over here.

Look out for
those electric cables!

Look out!

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Everybody,
off the platform!

Come on, Doc, hurry!

(GROWLING)

Get that power back on!
This way, Colonel.

The power is gone.
Everyone, outside! Fast!

Marisa!

Look!

Get that elephant
out of there!

(ALL CHATTERING)

(SCREAMING)

(TRUMPETING)

Get these people
out of here!

Where's the nearest phone?
There, Colonel.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Yes, sir. And, General,
we need some firepower, quick!

All right. As soon as I do,
I'll get there.
Stay with the beast,

but get reports back to me
if you can.

Right, sir.

The creature?

On the rampage!

If it isn't stopped,
it'll kill hundreds,
maybe thousands!

We'll need artillery
and tanks immediately.

(GROWLING)

It's up
one of the side streets.
I know. I hear it.

Doc, take them to the embassy.

I'm going to track it
as long as I can.
Right.

(MAN SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

This is Colonel Calder,
get me General Mclntosh.
This is an emergency.

It disappeared into the Tiber
at Ponte Umberto.

What do you think,
would hand grenades
force it out?

I don't know. I can't tell
what it'll do or where
it'll do it. It's worth a try.

There's an artillery unit
deployed at. . .

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

The Palace of Justice
across the bridge.

They'll give you
all the help you need.

Start blasting it, Bob.

We're moving up
with another unit,

on the other section
of the Tiber.

Yes, sir.

It's got to be down there
someplace. Keep blasting.

Calder talking.
Anything there, Bob?

No, we don't spot it here.

Nothing here, either.

We've blasted the Tiber
through the city for hours.
Any ideas?

Hello, Bob.

Do you hear me?

(GROWLING)

Do you hear me, Bob?
Come in, Bob.

It's here at
Ponte Sant'Angelo!

Ponte Sant'Angelo.

(SIREN WAILING)

Bob!

It's headed
towards the Colosseum.

(CREATURE GROWLING)

Sergeant,
deploy your men.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Sergeant!

Sergeant, take your men
up those stairs.

Up here!

There it is.

(GROWLS)

(GROANING)

Look!

Why is it always

so costly for man
to move from the present
to the future?
