Those who hunt by night,

will tell you that the wildest

and most vicious of all

animals is the tiny shrew.

The shrew feeds only by

the dark of the moon.

He must eat his own body weight

every few hours, or starve.

The shrew devours everything, bones, flesh,

marrow, everything.

In March, first in Alaska and then invading

steadily southward, there were reports of a new

species.

The GIANT KILLER SHREW!

[ Thunder ]

♪ Music ♪

Sure is a lotta quiet out there.

Almost smell it, can't you?

No, but I can feel it.

The pressure's dropped so fast,

almost made my ears pop.

Hurricane's got definite ways

of telling you it's there.

Where is it?

Dead ahead.

What's that mean to us?

My boy, that puts our port

right in the middle of it.

There's a cove on the east side though,

we'll snuggle up close

to the bluff and ride it out.

What about the bottom?

Well, the chart shows it's

good holding ground, it's clay.

You know something?

If this thing had an automatic

pilot, I wouldn't have to put up with you!

Then you wouldn't have nobody to chew out.

Should be there in a couple of hours.

If these mills of yours keep running.

Look, automatic pilots can't play

Dixieland Jazz on them engines like I can.

Hey Rook, Rook come here!

Take a look.

There she is, dead ahead.

Man, that sure

do look good!

Man named Craigis owns

this island, doesn't he?

That's the name on the crate,

Dr. Marlowe Craigis.

We'll unload tomorrow, I want this craft sitting

high on that water when that blow hits.

You gonna ride stern, too, with a lotta water under?

That's right.

That sea won't make

up in that cove,

that wind'll have her whippin'

around like kite.

Step forward and break out

the heavy weather hook.

Check it and make sure it's free run.

I don't mind to check.

Good.

Ah, she'll ride like a duck.

If she squeeze to starve her we

might have to take a check line to shore.

Hey Rook, take a slant up that trail.

Now that's a rather strange set up, wouldn't you say?

Like somebody's gettin' rid of somebody, huh Captian?

Maybe.

Hard to tell.

I'm Dr. Craigis.

Thorne Sherman.

Have your supplies aboard.

That's good.

Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson I hope.

Well I wouldn't know.

I just bought his run.

Oh I see.

Were you able fill our order?

Everything on the list.

Here's the manifest.

MIssing last weeks supply

has thrown us a little short, you know.

Captain, after you have unloaded,

I have a passenger for you, Ann.

Captain Sherman, this is my daughter Ann Craigis.

Oh, so you're the passenger?

That's right, Captain.

It's going to be nice having you aboard.

I'm getting a little tired

of looking at Griswold.

But we're not leaving today.

In fact, we're not even unloading.

That load'll cut the roll in half.

You expecting and invasion?

Yes, animals.

Game or otherwise?

Under certain conditions

it could be dangerous.

Hey Rook!

You wanna shake the kinks out, limber up a little?

Not me Captain Blithe,

you go right ahead and stretch your legs.

That ship gonna be buckin'

like a buckin' bronco 'fore long.

'Sides, I got some work left to do.

If you do come to shore, wear a gun.

Got'cha Captain.

When I told you about the hurricane,

you act like you didn't know anything about it.

What's the matter, your set broken down?

We've been outta communication

for more than week, Captain.

Can't it be fixed?

It's totally out of commission.

My assistant

Mr. Farrell, Jerry Farrell.

Father, perhaps the Captain

would enjoy a drink?

Well, of course.

Will you join us in the cocktail room?

Well, I've never been known

to turn down a drink yet.

I'd be glad to accept.

Fine, in that case we'll have martinis.

Mario?

Si senor?

Mix them please.

Right this way, Captain.

Come in.

You have everything here you need?

We are self sufficient here.

We have cows for fresh milk, chickens for fresh eggs.

We even have sadden horses.

Sort of a world all to your own.

That's exactly what I've tried to create!

Well, to each his own.

If you have to be isolated for your

work you've picked a lonely little island.

Excuse me please, I think I'll change.

She's a little worried because you

aren't leaving until tomorrow.

Well, I can understand that.

There's something else bothering her.

[ Door opens ]

Radford?

Radford? Radford, will you please step

over here, I'd like you to meet someone?

Just a second, doctor

He goes on for hours. Dr Baines!

There's no need to shout, doctor, I'm right here.

I'd like you to meet Captain Thorne Sherman.

This is my other assistant

Radford Baines.

How do you do?

Two new litters since lunch, doctor

Both support G T 116.

That's good.

We can breed them to the

205 group in about 3 weeks,

but I prefer to wait and expose about

half of them to the Hoskins factor first.

If you agree.

Good idea.

Do you know there's a hurricane coming?

Well I don't suppose there's

much we can do about that.

Glad to meet you.

Sherman, was it?

You have to excuse Radford.

Anything that does not concern his project

does not get through to him.

Brilliant mind, he would starve to death if

someone didn't remind him to eat.

Must be very interesting work, what's his field?

Biology. He specialized in genetics, heredity.

I'm afraid my interest doesn't

run in that line, you know.

Think what would happen if you could isolate,

identify the inherent fact in each gene?

Now wait a minute, I'm afraid I'm

not very good with pure research.

This is practical research.

Generally with mammals the smaller the size

the higher the metabolism and shorter the lifespan.

Is that right?

Well, I'm attempting to decrease

the size by maintaining a low

metabolism and resulting a longer lifespan.

What reason?

Over population.

Not a problem now, but it will be, in time.

If we were half as big as we are now,

we could live twice as long

on our natural resources

Father, may I speak with you a moment?

Will you please excuse us, Captain?

Oh, providing you drop the Captain,

I prefer Thorne.

[ Inaudible ]

Tell me something doctor, has a

hurricane ever hit this island

before that you know of?

I wouldn't know.

We've only here 9 months and

this place has been unoccupied for years.

Well have you ever been through one?

Only the fringes.

Well, this one's building up very fast.

Pressure drops very quickly in the center.

I'd advise you to get some doors

and windows open in this place.

Ventelator's on the roof.

And if you freshen Ann's drink, I'll go and check them.

I'd be happy to.

Thank heavens you arrived today.

Why, rations getting short?

Well, it's more than that, much more.

We'll surely be able to

sail tomorrow, won't we?

Possibly, but not probable.

Not 'till late anyway.

Takes a long time for a

sea like that to quiet down.

Well if you're worrying about me, you need'nt.

I'm a good sailor.

Oh, I'm not worried about you.

We'll sail when the time's right.

Got them opened, alright.

Captain, let me freshen you a drink.

One for the road.

Not trying to rush you but,

it will be dark soon.

I've invited Thorne for dinner father.

Oh, I see.

If you're not worried about

your ship, you're welcome.

I'll take a raincheck on that dinner.

If you wish.

Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.

Progress doctor!

This is the sole survivor

of group 30.

28 months old today.

Well, that's equivalent to 140 years to us.

That's right!

Yet it still maintains low metabolism,

without any sluggishness.

Not the breakthrough but it

certainly sets our course.

Radford, suspend series 52 through, uh, 96.

And we'll concentrate on the rest.

What is that?

It's a sorex soricidae.

Looks like a small rat.

Smells like a skunk.

They have musk glands in their knees.

These little fellows are our subjects.

They have birth cycle of 10-14 days,

and using them we can establish traits.

We can trace the progressions

through a number of generations

over a short period of time.

Well, how big do they get?

That's an adult.

See the muzzle is longer

and thicker than a rats.

It extends over the lower mandible, see?

Does he bite?

Only when he's hungry.

Well, maybe you better take him,

he doesn't know me.

All he knows is his next meal, haha.

Ah, he's just been fed.

He'll be alright another 8 hours.

[ Loud banging ]

[Ann screams]

A shutter blew open, Radford!

I got it, senior.

Did that scare you?

It's gonna get worse.

Storms always frighten her

ever since she was a child.

They're not climbers.

They're digging animals.

Like a mole.

They feed only at night, unless they're starving.

And when they are hungry enough, they

tackle anything, regardless of size.

You're kidding?

If you leave two of them in a cage for 12 hours

without food, the stronger

will eat the weaker.

Like cannibals?

Precisely!

You see, their intense activity requires

a tremendous amount of energy.

To supply they, they must eat

3 times own weight in food every 24 hours, or starve

Radford! Radford!

Will you please?

[ Laughs ]

Some call them bone eaters.

When the flesh is gone they'll eat the

bones for marrow, all they'll leave are

teeth, bones...

I could use antother Martini, do you mind?

Of course, my dear.

I'll get you one.

[ Wind blowing ]

Mario! Mario!

Aqui, por favor.

Mario will show you to the bath

and you will freshen up a bit.

[ Speaks Spanish ]

Excuse me.

Aqui, senior.

You got a problem, too?

Que paso?

Nada, senior.

But you will leave on the ship tomorrow.

Well, I think that all depends on the

wind and the sea, don't you?

Si. Si senor.

I don't know...

Ah! You made joking.

I feel your point. I see.

I'm glad to hear that.

Now if anybody else is concerned about

my sailing tomorrow, why, you see they

feel the point too, huh?

I don't like to repeat myself.

Ok, senior.

I know, but I'm not saying

that you created them, Jerry!

I am saying that because of your drunken

stupidity in leaving the cage door

open, you created the horrible

situation that now exists.

Look Ann, this is a mistake anyone of us might have made.

Now I'm getting a little sick of

being called an irresponsible drunk!

Now believe me, I am..

Excuse me.

Care for a cigarette?

Thank heavens you arrived today.

You said that before, what's the strain?

[ Inaudible talking ]

I want to leave, but I want

my father to go with me.

Well then, why doesn't he?

We discussed it many

times, but he's adamant.

I'm sure Jerry has a lot

to do with this decision.

But you have to convince me

that the crises will only last for a few...

Well, this is certainly a cozy little scene.

Might even be called

intimate Boy meets girl...

Stop it Jerry!

That remark is uncalled for.

What I do or have to say does not concern you.

I can't disagree with you more my dear,

I'm concerned with everything you do

and I intend to keep it that way.

Now in my book and engagement isn't a casual...

In my book it isn't either!

And last night ended ours.

[ Wind blowing ]

[ Screeching sounds ]

[ Gun fire ]

[ Thunder ]

[ Thunder ]

[ Loud screeching ]

Help! Help!

Captain Thorne!

Somebody help! Help!

[ Thunder ]

Be reasonable!

Everybody in the world is

scared to death of something.

That's evident.

When they came at us last night

you knocked me down getting

inside the fence.

It's just that I can't stand them.

And I discovered something

I can't stand.

Alright, but I advise you not

to mention it to anyone.

I'm gonna complete these experiments

with your father regardless of anything.

Do you understand that?

Nobody is gonna take this

chance away from me.

[ Door opens ]

Where's Captain Sherman?

Checking the weather, I'll get him.

Captain, time for dinner.

[ Screeching ]

Help! Somebody!

Help!

Somebody! Help!

[ Gun shots ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Thunder ]

[ Loud crack ]

Missed as good as a mile I always say.

One of those trees

crashes through, it might just knock the whole...

Look honey, any tree on this side

will fall away from us so just relax.

I think I better go back aboard.

Don't think I'm not grateful

for your hospitality, I am.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thorne. Your ship is safe.

Please, stay here with me.

Why?

You scared, or lonesome?

Both.

I'll take a raincheck on it.

Thorne, you can't leave!

No one opens that gate after dark.

Well, who's gonna stop me?

You?

Well, this!

No one opens that gate at night.

Now look, I don't ask questions

because it's against my principles.

Wouldn't you like to explain that?

Alright, sit down and I will.

Give me the gun.

Not very becoming anyway.

You belive in fairy tales?

Well, I'm a little old for that

sort of thing, but, uh

what'd you have in mind.

Well I'll tell you about one, a true fairy tale.

And you're right in the middle of it.

Oh?

Have you ever heard of a shrew.

As in taming of the...

No the animal.

Dad called them sorex soricidae

when he showed you one.

Oh, the shrew must be the common

name for those cute little animals.

Cute!

That's the last word you can

use to describe those little monsters!

They're the most horrible animal

on the face of the earth!

That's why they told you,

they breed within three weeks

after birth, the lifespan is around one year!

Yeah yeah, I know what your

father told me, but what's that got

to do with me opening that gate.

There are 2 or 3 hundred giant shrews out there.

Monsters weighing between 50 and 100 pounds.

50 to 100...

Wait a minute, you must be kidding.

I'm definitely not kidding.

That's as big as full grown wolf!

And what's more, they are beginning to starve!

No wonder you didn't

want me to go out there.

Thanks for saving my skin!

Well, I'm sorry I had to

threaten you with a gun.

But I didn't know how else to stop you.

No, it was very effective.

But all you had to do was tell me about it.

Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to.

But you changed everything

when you started to leave.

And I had to stop you someway.

You say there's 2 or 3 hundred out there?

Ann!

That's right, Captain Thorne, and if you'd

stuck with your row boat and played Captain

instead of trying to play detective, you wouldn't

have to worry about how many

are out there, would you!?

That's enough, Jerry!

What's wrong, Ann?

Thorne decided to leave.

To dissuade him I started to

tell him about the shrews.

He might as well know the

whole story not half of it.

I guess we're all a little

jumpy, Captian.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

6 months ago we managed to isolate

the pack and control the size.

2 litters are born, 6 individuals

are kept for study.

They were about the size

of buckshot at birth.

But the rate of growth was abnormal.

They continue to grow.

They were mutants.

They inherited all the negative

characteristics of their breed.

Somehow they managed to escape!

[ Thunder ]

[ Screeching ]

But a month later, we saw

one of the offspring.

They were multiplying.

We did everything in the world to exterminate

them, but, no apparent luck.

Then we haven't seen

any, since daylight seems to blind

them and they forage only at

night, unless starving.

But the fact that two of them charged

Ann and Jerry at the gate last evening,

indicated that the available food

on the island is nearing depletion.

Then what doctor?

They will exterminate each other.

It will take a couple days.

What do we do during that time?

Stay in doors and wait until it's over.

[ Wind and crackling ]

It's just some wires blew

down on the transformer.

I'm sorry.

I'll get some lamps.

Mario! Mario!

Si senior?

There's a lantern in the pantry.

Light it and bring it in here.

Radford, light all the candles you can find.

Alright, I will.

Where's the generator?

Outside. Can't get at it at night.

Here, let me help.

Lantern will give you all the light you need.

I will join you shortly, Jerry.

[ Thunder ]

Well, Jerry, I felt she was sincere, and

made sense from her standpoint.

Wanting her father to leave the island

with her makes sense?

It'd be much better for the project if

I went with her for a few days.

Matter of fact I think I'll talk to doctor about that,

that might be the answer.

And another thing, I don't take

much to this Thorne Sherman!

He looks to me like the

type that would try anything.

That left handed dinner invitation, that was just to

keep me here 'till after dark, wasn't it?

I wanted you here tonight.

I felt something terrible was going to happen.

Well, you still feel the same way about it?

Not as much. Not since you're here.

And know everything.

[ Screeching ]

[ Horse neighing ]

I love an open fire, don't you?

Mmm hmmm.

The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?

Sure does.

Back in Sweden we don't

have a wind this strong.

You're a strange man Thorne.

I never met anyone like you.

Oh?

You seem so disinterested in everything.

Aren't you the least bit curious?

Don't you wonder about the unusual

things around here?

The guns?

The fence? Shattered windows?

My accent?

Anything?

I'll tell you something, I'm only interested in

anything that concerns me,

then I do something about it.

[ Horse neighing ]

You're gonna sail with me tomorrow,

whether your father intends to or not.

[ Screeching ]

Thorne, no!

Father, Rad, out there!

I don't think he was going out Jerry!

I couldn't take a chance,

he's fool enough to!

Don't be stupid!

I had no intentions of going out there and

opening that gate unless somebody needed it!

Did you hear it doctor?

Sounded like a human voice?

I was thinking of Rook!

It was the livestock!

The shrews got into the barn!

What was it father?

The livestock.

Did Mario forget to bar those doors?

No, I put them in the barn myself.

They couldn't get through the wood doors.

They dug through the dirt floor.

Let me ask you something doctor.

How could you expose all our lives,

yourself included, with those things out there?

All you had to do is get the coast guard or

the Navy to come in here and burn them out.

Those things got loose!

Any unusual experiment can produce

unusual results.

That's why I chose this island.

Isolated.

Miles of open water in any direction.

Our project is fragilely financed.

It's not a product for the

government or military.

The world is in no danger.

This species does not swim.

And as far as the shrews are concerned,

this island is their world.

Very soon.

Right here on this this island,

there's going to be a

miniature reproduction of a over

populated world.

And you'll see the importance of what were

working to avoid.

I'm not concerned about all this theory!

What I'm concerned about is our lives!

There will be ample time to panic

when they run out of food and

go on a 24 hour forage.

How do you know they haven't already?

That's possible.

Their main diet has been a small

animals on the island.

That source could have been

depleted 18 or 20 hours ago.

That's why they went after the livestock.

There's still some food on this

island before they reach the crisis.

Where?

No worry about them digging in here.

The floors are tile.

The walls aren't doctor, they're adobe!

Our safest bet would be on that boat.

Maybe you're right.

You can reach your boat in daylight.

The shrews will gorge themselves on livestock.

That should keep them

lethargic for several hours.

There's no sense looking at the dark side.

And there's no sense

minimizing a serious situation!

It leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it.

Now we certainly can't make

it tonight, that's out of the question.

Maybe tomorrow.

I have it.

We'll get some sleep tonight, but we'll

have a watch, an hour and a half a piece.

Doctor you go first and then Redford, Mario, Jerry

and then me.

Shutter all the windows,

make sure they're locked good and tight.

Check all these walls.

Come, darling.

No, I think I'll stay here by the fire.

I feel safer.

I couldn't stand it in that room alone.

Alright, as you wish.

But try to get some sleep.

[ Knocking ]

Senior Ferrell, it is Mario,

you are next to make the patrol, no?

[ Slurring ] Yeah, sure Mario, come on in!

Been waiting for you to finish, I must have

dozed off, you kinda startled me.

Sit down.

Here, have a drink, it'll

help you to relax.

Gracias, senior.

SIt down!

Rest a while.

You just checked every room

in the house didn't you?

Si.

Fine.

You're a good man, Mario.

A man that can be trusted.

[ Screeching ]

You know what I've been thinking, Mario?

Ann and that Captain.

You and me...

Imagine an intelligent girl like her going for a

common sea tramp like him!

I know why!

You do too!

Case anything goes wrong,

she's looking our for her own hide.

That's why I keep thinking

about you and me.

Anything goes wrong, we're gonna

outlast them all.

[ Thunder ]

I'm going to trust you to take my

turn at patrolling the house.

When you finish, don't wake the Captain.

Come back here and get me.

I'll probably feel good enough

by then to take his turn.

Ok, Mario?

-Si. -Ok.

[ Animal sounds ]

[ Animal sound ]

Senior, it is Mario.

Oh, Mario, come on in.

What is it?

[ Speaking spanish ]

Shrew in the celler?

Si!

I hear him singing down there.

Well, how did he get in?

The storm break out the kitchen window,

but I close it up, he went down there.

Why should he go down there?

The food for the little ratonies, I put it out,

they love it.

Did you tell Jerry?

No, senior.

It is your turn next, here is una luz.

We kill him, no?

Ya.

Ann, Ann wake up.

A shrew got in.

It's alright, he's down in the celler.

Now we're going down after him, but

I don't want you to let anybody open

that door until I tell you to.

Understand?

Good girl.

Ok. Open it just a crack.

Open.

Hold on to it!

Ok.

Take that side.

Mario?

Aqui!

You see anything?

I see where he was.

I do not see where he is.

Cuidado.

Si senior.

I will be careful.

[ Gun shot ]

Aqui!

He also got me, sailor.

One second.

[ Animal sound ]

[ Gun shot ]

You alright down there?

Doctor, get down here quick!

Oh, Mario?

He's dead.

Dead?

I got this on him right away!

He couldn't have bled to death!

Might as well let go of it,

won't do him any good now.

What could have killed him?

I'm not certain, 'till we autopsy.

Hemotoxic syndrome.

I'm afraid so.

We'll know after pathology.

Doctor, that's not the same

animal you showed me.

That's a monster!

As I said, they are mutants!

When controlling the size factor,

we seem to have crossed some of the

other characteristics.

Well, you certainly did a good job of it!

I've known that for some time, Captain!

Please give me a hand with Mario.

Radford, bring up the animal.

Extremely high poison content in the shrew's saliva.

Now compare it with this.

Careful count isn't necessary,

any indication the same poison

Mario's blood will give you the answer.

I guess you're right.

Look, Ann, brooding about its

not gonna do any good.

Now why don't you try to

think of something else.

Tell me, ah, what do you do around here,

are you a scientist?

I'm a zoologist.

Oh?

That's the study of animal life, isn't it?

What do you specialize...

What do you specialize in?

They died.

Well, I had a hand in this too.

I'm partly to blame.

[ Wind blowing, Ratteling windows ]

When this ends... If we ever get

off this island, I'll never

have anything to do with it again.

What will you do?

Live normally.

Like normal women do.

Maybe seem dull after

the life I've been living,

but rather dull and alive than excited...

I'll take a dull alive woman everytime.

Say, Thorne, the autopsy has

proved what we suspected.

Several weeks ago I concocted

the most virilent poison

I could with the materials I had at hand.

Then put it out as bait.

Mario was killed by poison.

Doctor I wonder if you thought

the system of the sorex enabled

them to assimilate that poison.

It remained in the salivary glands

of their jaws, isn't that wonderful!?

I am sorry, of course

I always speak from a clinic point of view.

Well, don't you have something

to counter act that poison?

Once Mario was bitten I'm afraid there's

nothing anyone could have done.

This indicates that they could not

afford to get even so much as a

scratch from these animals.

They are more poisonous than snakes.

What, you think they're all effected?

Best wait to find out is let

them all bite you and see

which bite you die after.

We might just all get that chance, Jerry!

You included.

Doctor, I've closed all the

doors in the house.

I suggest we do the same thing

with this hall and this lab.

Cut down the chances of getting

in the front of the house.

Think if we keep a close

watch of those walls and

windows in there, we might

make it 'till daybreak.

The walls are 2 feet thick, do you think

they have a chance to dig in?

Of course there's a chance!

Anywhere that plaster's off, that adobe's

as soft as mush where that rain hit it.

[ Thunder ]

[ Squeeling ]

It's not a bad idea doctor but here's another possibility,

Doctor It's very light out.

It's gonna be daylight soon.

We'll take the shrew that killed Mario,

and throw it over the fence and use it for bait.

If they show up for it, of

course they'll run for the boats out.

If they don't then I'll go down and have

Rook lay 2 with the lighter.

Then I'll return to the bend, and the trail

and give you the all clear signal.

Sounds fine, Captain.

Good, then you explain it to the rest.

Yes, I will.

Well, the bait's been out for

20 minutes, nothing's touched it.

Even the wind has gone down, isn't that wonderful?

I'm afraid it's not over my dear, it's just a low.

There'll be a lot more.

He's right.

I'll be back at the bend shortly,

now you watch for my signal.

You can't go alone!

I'll go with him.

Not you, father!

You haven't even fired a gun.

Take Rad or Jerry!

Sure, I'll go.

Then you'll be sure of getting the signal.

Don't shoot that gun unless you have to.

We've only got 20 rounds all together.

I know that as well as you do.

Sherman!

You stay away from her!

You have that gun pointed at me?

Right at the middle of your back.

Look, we got enough problems

without worrying about Ann.

I'm telling you, stay away from her or when

the shrews get through with you they

won't even find a buckshot!

[ Screeching ]

Hey Rook!

Hey Rook! Rook!

[ Whistles ]

Where's the skip?

I'll follow that check line, I gotta find him.

Since last night you won't find much of him.

You shut up!

I'm not goin' back.

I'm staying here.

Alright, you suite yourself.

But if I were you I'd swim out to that boat.

Can't swim!

Then stay here.

Wait a minute, you gotta give me a gun.

Give you a gun!

Sherman, wait!

This is the gun we had on the boat.

They don't leave much, do they!?

Sherman, we gotta

make a deal for...

[ Animal sounds ]

What is it?

Shhhhh!

They've been trailing us on both sides.

Where?

I didn't see anything.

Look Sherman, you gotta give me a gun!

Whatever you do don't you run.

You stay in front of me 'cause I don't trust you.

[ Screeching ]

They're coming!

Open the gates!

Open!

[ Gun shot ]

Open the gates! Open!

Let him in! Let him in!

Jerry, open up!

[ Gun shot ]

[ Screeching ]

You should have let him in, Jerry!

The shrews were out there,

I couldn't take a chance!

[ Inaudible yelling ]

For heaven sakes Doctor, stop him!

[ Screeching ]

Alright, didn't he have it coming?

Or didn't he?

What happened out there?

Oh, nothing much, Jerry

just tried to kill me twice in the last 5 minutes.

Rook came to shore last night.

He's dead.

This all was left.

Won't do us any good, it's got no ammo.

I'm deeply sorry, Captain.

I wish I had followed your orders.

Look Doctor, you casually mention animals.

You didn't explain to us

what we were facing out there!

You have every right to feel the way you do.

My mistake, was only mine, poor judgement.

I didn't know about the hurricane.

I didn't anticipate the effect

it would have on the shrews.

I thought the house would

be safe through the crisis.

How could you expose your own daughter?

How could you expose Ann to that?

She was going to leave last

week but the boat didn't come.

I need a drink.

Anybody else care for one?

I could use some coffee.

I'll make some.

Thank you Ann.

Cream and sugar?

[ Screeching ]

Oh my leg!

[ Gun shot ]

[ Gun shot ]

Slam the door!

You alright Doctor?

He just ripped my trousers, that's all.

Are you sure that's all?

I'm completely aware of it doctor.

I'll kill them!

[ Gun shots ]

That was a stupid waste of ammunition!

Everyone of them a clean miss!

There's still 4 of them in there!

How did they get in?

Through that kitchen window,

that rope must be rotten.

It got him!

Radford!

He's dead.

Oh, no!

He recorded every symptom

and reaction, right up to the

moment of his death.

Jerry, tear down one of those

drapes and cover him up.

[ Crying ]

Sure, sure.

Craigis will cover Ann and I'll cover him!

You'll cover me, but who will cover you!

Shut up!

We can get on

the mouse, sway from....

I told you to shut up!

Now you stop sniffling and think!

It would take a tank to get us out of here!

Thorne!

There!

[ Screeching ]

Give me a hand with this.

It won't take them

long to dig around this.

You're right.

No telling where else they're digging too.

[ Gun shots ]

Come on, the patio.

[ Screeching ]

That's not enough

here to barricade those walls.

I'll tell you, we'll pile some of

those crates up over there.

That roof's our last chance!

Here, help me doctor.

Ann, find something light!

[ Screeching ]

Here, help her with that doctor.

Jerry see if you can find some more.

Doctor?

Yes?

Use these chemical drums as tanks!

Individual tanks!

Here I'll show you.

Let it down now, slow.

Alright, alright.

You alright?

Ya.

Cut a hole in here, make some eye pieces.

Wait, here's another one!

Now get that out there, we can work on it.

This is even better!

[ Screeching ]

Give me a little more slack.

[ Screeching ]

Get some rope,

and put it on that latch, so we

can reach it from the ground!

[ Screeching ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Inaudible yelling ]

Now hold this end.

Alright.

Alright, we're all set!

It's gonna be rough,

but we should be able to

duck walk to the beach.

Where's Jerry?

There's a lot of them out there,

I can see them, I'm not going!

Look, get down here, that wind

will blow you right off that roof!

I tell you, I'm not going, I'm staying here!

Gotta to get him down here somehow.

Ann, see if you can coach him down here.

Jerry! Jerry, please come down with us!

No Ann, they'll get you if you go out there.

Come down here you fool!

Poor devil, I hope he makes it.

We can't leave him, he's

not responsible for himself!

We have to go now!

[ Ann screams ]

Alright doctor.

Uh huh.

Now hold it up!

Put it down slow!

Everybody ready?

I'm gonna open that gate!

Ready!

Ready.

Ok, here they come!

Hold on! Hold on!

[ Screeching ]

[Ann screams]

Ann, what's the matter?

Your side's dragging.

You wanna rest?

You tired?

[ Speaking Swedish ]

What'd you say?

She says she's alright.

She's keeping her eyes closed.

Alright.

Keep your eyes closed, they can't

get at you through the slit.

This empty drum is too heavy for her,

I can barely hold up my side.

I'll be alright in a minute.

Alright, you walk, I'll drag for a while.

Listen, don't let their get under,

they'll flip us over.

[ Gun shots ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Ann screaming ]

He got my foot!

Check your foot.

No my foot is free but he got my boot.

Is there a scratch?

No, not a mark.

[ Gun shot ]

Keep moving.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Thorne, I don't think I...

What?

Thorne!

It's sand!

Thorne, we're close!

We'll hit the water soon!

Doesn't sound like they're

following us anymore.

[ Inaudible whispering ]

We better work deeper.

I'm about drowned out.

Ok, let's swim for it.

Ok.

[ Speaking Swedish ]

We are safe aren't we?

I mean the storm?

Sure.

She rode out the first half alright,

and that's always the roughest.

Anyway riding an anchor I'll get a chance

to learn more about that Swedish accent.

In 24 hours, there'll be one shrew left

on the island and he'll be dead of starvation.

An excellent example of over population.

Well, you know something Doctor?

What's that?

I'm not gonna worry about over population just yet.
