- Hola .

- Hola.

Buenas noches Glaser, como es tu sinfonía

Para animales y orquesta Llegando hoy

hola doctor

Hmm, todavía estoy trabajando.

Es lento.

¿Es usted frau schwarz?

- Sí, me gustaría escucharlo.

¿Has llegado a un título para ello?

- Estaba pensando en Dándole un triste título como

La naturaleza llora.

¿Te gusta?

- No lo sé.

It sounds pretty depressing to me.

- Bye.

- Good evening.

What's the matter, Breck, you wanna go?

- All right.

- Careful.

- Gladys, are you crazy?

What's the matter with you?

- Oh, these newfangled cages.

They always seem to get stuck.

Fritz.

- Yes, doctor?

- Will you open it?

- Right away.

- Thanks.

- Be careful, rip, she's out of sorts today.

- I know.

It's all right.

Yes, girl.

And, so I have to give her a shot.

Right, Gladys?

Over there.

What's the matter?

Don't you feel well today?

Well, I'll soon fix that and make you feel better.

There you go.

Give me a syringe.

All right, be a good girl, now.

Okay, here we go.

Easy, baby.

Good girl, Gladys.

Wait.

Easy now.

Calm down, Gladys.

There we are.

There, that didn't hurt now, did it?

Think it's gonna hurt, she did feel a thing.

- Yeah.

- She'll be okay.

- The danger's over.

- I didn't wanna use a tranquilizing projectile

because it frightens and hurts her at this close range.

Take the rest of your pictures now, Laura,

because she'll be out soon.

- She's still awake.

How long will it take?

- Oh, five seconds, that's all.

- She's having convulsions.

Rip.

- Normal reaction, Laura, she's all right.

She'll be taking a nice trip to dreamland.

- That little devil of a cub's bitten her nipples.

Look at that, they're bleeding.

- Is that why she kills her own?

- Yeah.

Or it could be that being in captivity

makes her act strangely.

But, there's still this one.

Yeah, that little bastard.

Cute, huh?

He prefers biting instead of sucking his milk.

Take her inside, men, I'll be with you in a minute.

- All right, easy does it.

Get her legs up.

There.

- Ah ah ah ah.

Mean aren't you?

Well, I gotta go back to the lab.

See you later, sweetie.

One star tonight

when the moon is bright

- I'm coming damn it.

And, the jungle beating feeling

- I didn't realize.

We saw the light

campfire was in sight

there were

- I had to leave early, darling, sorry.

There's food in the fridge, just warm it up.

Don't forget to take a shower.

- I'm coming.

- Wear your jeans because I didn't have time

to pick up your skirt at the cleaners.

I'll pick you up at school tonight after I cover

the Darwin conference...

6:30pm, here's your latest bulletin

from solitude to Laura.

Helga's out and pretty soon I'll be leaving too.

Going to dancing lessons with Tommy.

Do you hear him?

Will you stop ringing, I'm coming.

I got your message.

Thanks for having reminded me to eat, to wash,

to get dressed.

Mom, I don't know what I'd do without you.

Where the hell did you stash my ba ba ba?

Ah, here it is.

Oh, Mary called from the newspaper.

She wants you to call her back before five

but seeing that it's after six, well, sorry mom,

you blew it again.

So long, signed your daughter, Suzy,

remember the one with the curls?

I'm coming you ball buster.

- Come on Breck walk faster, move.

Come on, move.

What's the matter with you, Breck?

What do you smell?

Do you see something?

Huh?

Breck.

Come on.

What's wrong with you?

Breck.

Come on, let's go.

I don't know what's gotten into you tonight.

- What's wrong?

- There's a man over there.

I think he was watching us.

- Oh, fay, don't tell me you're worried about him?

Can't you see the poor guy's blind?

I propose we pick up where we left off.

Come on, baby.

- Oh no Carl, no.

- Come on.

- I guess Suzy's gone out.

She could have at least turned on the answering machine.

- She probably forgot.

- No way.

That child of mine never forgets anything.

She did it on purpose.

- Well, you're her mother.

You should know.

Now, here's a nice kitty that can't go out.

You feeling better?

Good.

Who wrote that children are extraterrestrials

that have come from outer space to destroy their parents?

Aldrich?

- Ha.

- Hey, you're another fine example of progeny.

Don't you know mothers have to be obeyed and respected?

Because they're dangerous, very dangerous.

- You better believe it.

- What Suzy needs is a father.

A nice guy like me.

- Are you inferring that I'm not a good mother?

- Nah, that a boy.

No, I don't think that.

- I'm going to pick her up at school this evening.

It's about time we had a long talk.

- Huh, human beings can talk things over

before they kill each other.

Usher would have finished her off fast

if I hadn't have found her

and pulled her out of the cage in time.

This little critter would commit matricide.

It's 'cause her mother ignored her,

let her shift for herself.

That's life.

Families.

- Is it my fault I don't have enough time for her?

I've got to work, don't I?

- Why don't we just get married?

And, you'll never have to work again.

- Except for being your private whore, private maid,

your private secretary, your private cook,

and god knows what else you have in your macho mind.

And, why do you bite your mother, young fellow?

- Because his mother bites his brothers.

- Isn't that rather strange

from a naturalistic point of view?

I mean, survival of the species and all that.

- Yeah, sure it's strange.

But then, a lot of weird things have been happening

around here lately.

- Keep talking.

This day might not be wasted after all.

I mightn't be much as a mother, but I might be able to

win a few rounds as a journalist.

What do you think of a headline like,

crazed animals in zoo?

Oh, I could even steal glazer's title, nature weeps.

- Oh honey, I can't get enough of you.

- Did you hear that?

- What?

Ah, it's just a cat.

- Oh, it's too cramped in here.

- There.

- Oh god, stop.

They're biting me.

Kill them.

Please, let me out of the car.

- Don't open the door.

There are thousands outside.

- Stop it, stop it.

They're crawling up my legs now.

Help me.

- Pick me up at seven.

See you later.

- Thanks professor.

- Ah rip, you're a stubborn, hard-headed mule.

Are you sure you won't change your mind?

- Sorry, I have to finish that taxidermy work.

And besides, I can't stand those meetings.

I'm a realist, Laura, not a practicing theorist.

All those intellectual acrobatics on Darwin and lamarck

and those other old fossils.

They're not good for my health.

Well, I wouldn't want to shorten your life, would I?

So long, realist.

- Aren't you forgetting something?

- Nah, well I'm not sure this won't shorten my life.

I suggest you take a cold shower, darling.

- To cool the passion?

- No, to get rid of Gladys's smell.

- Hey, will I see you tomorrow?

- Maybe.

I'll call you.

I'm getting tired of

- ah ha, that's gin.

I wanna find somewhere I can settle down

my life is spent

- well, that's it, grandpa.

I blitzed you once again.

- How can I concentrate on the game

with all this noise?

I gotta move, I gotta fly

- why are you so uptight?

This is progress, man.

- Hmm, progress.

That's what you'd say.

All these new machines, TV monitors, little buttons,

levers, flashing lights, dials, automation they call it.

I call it bullshit.

It just keeps people out of work.

- What?

You gotta be kidding.

There are more than enough openings for our job.

Where are you going now?

- To see Mueller and the others.

They're better off than I am.

They work with animals.

- Night.

- Talking about animals.

Get a load of her.

- Hmm, not bad.

- Hey, what was that?

- It's in the cat area.

- Something's wrong but where?

- It's where the tigers are.

- Look at this.

Do you think it could be an earthquake?

- They're sure acting strange.

But, here everything's okay.

- They say animals sense them long before we do.

- I'll go out and take a look.

Where's the flashlight?

- On the table.

- That's odd.

- What?

- I heard a signal

like someone's trying to open the cages.

- Hey, pasha, you sick?

What's the matter?

Are you nervous?

Are you?

Well, calm down, now and go to sleep.

Hey Callie, what is it with you?

Why are you acting this way?

Simmer down.

Very strange, hmm.

Kimba, hey easy there.

Oh my god, it really is an earthquake.

- Oh Christ!

- The whole damn place is shorting out.

Oh god, I can't close the cages.

- Oh hell.

Coming.

Hello?

Ah, who else could it be but inspector braun?

You're the only one who calls when I'm taking a shower.

What's that?

What?

Rats?

- On kaiser strassel, yeah, rats, rats.

There are thousands of rats.

- Come on, hose.

- Well, what's that got to do with us?

Call the department of sanitation.

They killed a couple in a car.

- The rats killed them?

- That's right, chewed them to pieces.

- What kind of rats are they?

- How the hell do I know, rip?

Rats, sewer rats I guess.

They're big as cats.

There are hundreds of 'em coming out of the street drains.

We've got the fire department here with hoses

but we can't control them.

Are you coming?

- I'm trying to figure out what caused it.

Is there gas escaping?

- No, we checked that out.

Geez, it's terrible.

- Watch out, they're getting away.

' Hello.

Hello, nat, are you still on the line?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.

You should see what I'm seeing.

- The exterminators are here, inspector.

- I'll be right with you.

Well, doc, I figure this is in your ballpark.

Are you just unconcerned?

- Of course I'm concerned, nat.

- Then move your ass and get over here.

- But, I'm naked.

- Please, rip, get over here.

- Okay, but, if I get fined for speeding...

- Yeah, yeah, I'll fix any ticket you get.

Just hurry up.

- God almighty.

Cover him up for Christ's sake.

- Okay, put him in.

- Keep those hoses.

Let's go.

- Wolfgang!

Oh no.

Mueller.

Look out!

Raul!

No, no!

No, no, no.

- Can nature go crazy?

Can animal violence and madness

create blood-thirsty killers?

Can nature take revenge?

The answers are yes.

The monsters of our darkest fears and ancestral nightmares

are becoming a reality.

We're at that point in time of injustice,

brutality, mutilations, as well as ecological

and biological horrors.

We have not wanted to accept nature but to enslave it,

transform it, violate it.

To normal stimuli,

we are flooding our skies... - Go home.

- Oh thank you.

- Our seas and our earth with noxious

and dangerous substances which are having dire consequences

on the flora and fauna.

- Oh, oh excuse me.

- Quiet please.

- I'm sorry.

Excuse me, excuse me.

- In one other period of,

of history has nature been so abused.

Ladies and gentlemen... - Miss schwarz,

there's a call for you.

- Ah thank you.

- Our tendency to destroy, alter, and upset

the balance of nature is nothing less than madness.

It will have a profound effect on all the increases...

- I'm Laura schwarz.

Thank you.

Hello.

Yes?

- Suzy is daughter of Laura.

They say Laura is mother of Suzy.

Suzy, although abandoned is worried about Laura.

Have you eaten, Laura?

Have you washed?

- Cut it out Suzy.

- Blow your nose if you have a cold.

Behave.

- If there's something on your mind, tell me.

I'll come and pick you up at school when I'm finished.

- The tape is running out.

Suzy is fine and Laura is fine.

Suzy awaits Laura.

That is all Suzy wants to know.

Farewell.

- One of these days I'll strangle that kid.

- Yeah, that's the way.

- Get that hose over here, on the double.

- Too bad about the cars but it can't be helped.

Must have been gas that caused those rats

to come out of the sewers.

Why so many?

- Shoot the flame over on that grating...

- they're getting them under control now.

Fire's the only way to kill them.

Water wasn't enough.

- Get those on the car.

That's it.

- Hey, I want a few of them left alive.

- Yes, doctor.

- They're probably rabid, nat.

I wanna run some tests on their saliva

back at the lab, okay?

- You should wear a mask, inspector.

- They're attacking me, help.

Get 'em off me.

Get 'em off.

- Cover your eyes.

- Hey, give 'em a hand here.

Watch 'em.

- Help, get 'em off me.

- Those bastards

aren't afraid of anything.

Those damn, dirty rats, kill 'em.

Take care of him, quick.

- Leave your rig number one.

Roll, number 10.

- Did any bite you, rip?

- No, I'm okay.

But, take that guy to the hospital for a rabies shot.

I'll be at the lab if you need me.

- How soon will you know something?

Hard to say and make sure you send those other samples

to the pasteur.

They're better equipped to run those tests there

than I am.

- I'll be in touch.

- Right, nat.

See ya.

- And, thanks.

Rock it to ride

gonna rock it to ride

baby

- Breck, Breck, what's the matter, boy?

Stop it, no.

Breck, stop, no!

Stop, Breck.

- What the hell happened here?

Christ.

Fritz!

Hans!

Damnation.

Shumba.

Wolfgang.

Oh no.

Hello?

My name is berner, Rupert berner.

We have an emergency at the zoo at tiergartenstrasse.

Some animals have escaped and a guard is dead.

No, I don't know how many.

Yes, they're very dangerous.

Send somebody right away.

These animals have gotta be stopped.

- Attention all cars in zone b, c, and d,

we have an emergency.

Priority one.

- Special squad units one, two, and three

proceed to zoo and try to reestablish security.

Unspecified number of dangerous animals

escaped from the zoo on tiergartenstrasse.

- Alert unit four.

- Animals are dangerous.

Do not approach or try to capture.

Notify all foot patrolmen and traffic patrol personnel

to be on the alert and use firearms if necessary.

- What the hell is that?

Elephants!

- There's no doubt about it.

The ph factor indicates acidity.

I'll be right with you, nat.

I want those test results as soon as possible.

Get a blood and saliva sample, prepare Coleman.

Then send the samples to the pasteur.

I want their opinion.

Nat, your boys ready to take him over there?

- Ready and waiting.

- Oh, burger is sick and dura has problems at home.

I don't care if he's sick.

I want both of them here.

Even if you've gotta send the police to pick them up

in a squad car.

Where are those cartridges?

If you get a negative on the Coleman,

try a vermser.

- Yes, sir.

- Where did I put those frigging cartridges?

- Hello?

- Rip?

- Laura?

- Yeah, it's me, rip.

What's happening?

- Do you know the animals in the zoo escaped?

- Yeah, I heard it on the radio.

- The radio didn't say there were men killed.

I found Wolfgang dead in the control room.

Sorry, but I've gotta go now.

- Sure.

- No, you don't have your car.

Shall I pick you up?

- No, there's a subway station right here

in front of the building.

- Okay, see you later.

- What more can I do?

But, I told you they're busy.

- Hello?

- I'm sorry, sir, I can't help you.

- They've spotted six lions at podmirelli

and panthers on kierkenstrasse.

- There must be another phone

somewhere in the building.

- Jesus, what's next?

Hello?

- Big piles of garbage, several victims.

- Hang on.

- Any lions and tigers?

- We've got a big change on page one.

You ready?

- Yeah, well stop, the editor's orders.

- Stop the presses.

We're gonna change the front page.

- We've already started a run.

- Stop, I said.

We're changing columns five and six

and we got a new photo and headline.

- A state of emergency has been extended

to include the entire area northeast of the river.

All residents are advised to stay indoors

until further notice.

Parents are warned to be especially careful of children.

Do not use telephones except in an emergency.

Do not use automobiles or other vehicles.

It is estimated that about 30 large cats,

10 elephants, as well as other wild animals have...

- oh my god, Howard, get in the car.

- I'm trying to Helga.

- We've gotta get out of here.

- We can't out of control

- Helga!

- Howard, don't.

- Howard!

- Let's go.

- Come in unit k, we read you.

- We saw a tiger in

but he ran off in the direction of.

Should we follow him?

- You have permission to extend your area

but do not go beyond the autobahn.

Notify unit I in that sector.

- I have a report of looting at 422...

- come in f for Freddy.

- This is Freddy.

Do you read me?

- I read you, Freddy.

You're wanted on Kurt-schumacher.

There's an animal there that's gone crazy.

They think it's a leopard but they're not sure.

Check it out.

It's on Kurt-schumacher between bruckhof and dominicana.

- Okay, we're on our way.

You sure that gadget really works?

- It sure does.

Acts fast too.

Tranquilizer can knock a rhino out in five seconds.

Just worry about your driving.

Tires screeching.

She's not crazy, she's being chased by a cheetah.

- Christ.

- Turn around.

Hurry up, nat.

Step on it.

' I am.

Try to run over it.

- You'll never do it, nat, but try.

- I'll try to get up beside her car.

We can try stopping that cheetah

with that dart gun of yours.

- No, I can't hit is 'cause it's going too fast.

- Then use my pistol.

It's in the glove compartment.

Hurry up, rip, there it is.

Shoot, it's close.

- Okay, okay, just a second.

We're swaying too much.

I'm afraid I might hit the woman.

Oh that poor guy.

We've got to stop her.

She's crazy, for Christ's sake.

Stop!

It's red!

I'll take care of the girl.

You get the animal.

The man's dead.

Nat, bring an extinguisher.

Oh god.

Nat!

- I missed the cheetah.

It ran off.

- Nothing more you can do for that guy.

Forget it, nat.

- How is she?

- Sun alive, I think.

Stay with her.

- What are you doing?

Rip, come back, it could explode.

- It's too hot.

Let's pick her up.

- I'll call an ambulance.

- And, that brings the total up here

to four dead on arrival and one badly wounded.

- Pick up line six will you grover.

Yeah.

- She claims to have seen them heading down

Wilhelm-strasse.

But, a man claims to have seen them in a parking lot

near katharina-strasse.

- This is it. Weber, 721.

What do you mean you can't find any elephants?

You know what elephants are?

Elephants, not lice.

Elephants!

They're large enough.

Now you go find 'em.

- Come on over here.

- Oh, okay.

- What are you doing, Suzy?

- It's a dying swan.

- Looked more like a dead duck to me.

- All right, children, let's go now.

How do you manage to get yourself so dirty?

We'll stall.

Try landing.

It's too short.

Try landing.

We're stalling.

- It's too short.

Maximum revs.

- Come on, baby.

- I've got full throttle

but number four's not responding.

- Hold on.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

- I just hope it's not a blackout.

- No, it's nothing.

Now, don't you start to worry.

- Yeah, if you ask me, the problem is

people use too much energy, mix masters,

dryers, TV sets.

And, there's no end to it.

They just put a plug in the wall and don't give a shit

about anyone else.

- Poor child's tired.

What's your name?

- Yes, Carol.

But, I call her pest.

What was that?

- Did you hear that?

God, what's happening?

It sounded like a wild animal.

- Well, it can't be.

- I'm the monster

from a galaxy's black hole.

I've come to kill you all.

- Tommy, quiet, you're frightening her.

Suzy, I think that there's a flashlight

in the closet next to the door.

Tommy, help her find it, will you?

The rest of you sit quietly.

- They've cut the lights off.

- We are quite aware of that.

- The water's gone off too

and the telephone doesn't work either.

Nothing works fraulein muller.

- Teacher, may we go get a drink?

- Yes, dear.

- I'm thirsty too.

- Me too.

- Don't you want some?

- No thanks, I'd rather have a coke.

- Okay, I'll get you one.

- Mommy, mommy, I'm scared.

- Be quiet.

- What's this?

There's something out there trying to get in.

- There's a tiger!

- Mommy.

Mommy, mommy.

Mommy.

- Open up the door, open up the door.

- We'll all be killed.

- Master Walker!

- What?

- Smash the door, smash the door.

- Mommy.

- Carol, Carol!

- Be careful of the child.

Be careful.

Don't crush her.

Carol.

- Hold onto the door, everybody.

Unlock the door, unlock the door.

We'll all be killed.

- Smash the windows.

Push, push.

- Carol!

- Carol.

- Oh god.

- Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy.

- Oh Carol.

Come with me quickly, dear.

Don't look, don't look.

It's all right. - I want my mommy.

- Where's mommy?

- Oh, don't make a sound.

- I want my mother.

- Dean

come on.

- I can't figure it out, nat.

It doesn't add up.

What caused it?

- I don't get it either.

Blackouts like this are unusual.

- I'm talking about the animals, nat.

So, ferocious.

Mad and aggressive.

Take that cheetah back there, doesn't make sense.

Cheetahs never attack humans like that,

especially that cheetah.

She was so shy.

She'd be startled by a leaf falling from a tree.

God, how can you eat all that stuff?

" Huh?"

Oh, habit.

- Attention cars f, b, and w.

A subway train is stalled between

and Kurt-schumacher stations.

A number of wild animals have attacked it.

Do you read me?

- Car f here.

We're listening.

- We have a message for Dr. berner.

The animals are believed to be tigers.

We're sending a special squad to handle them.

They would like your assistance.

This is weber, nat, you're the closest to the spot.

Head for the subway station on Kurt-schumacher.

- We're on our way.

- Whoever this is Dr. berner.

Is there any news on those tests from my lab

or the pasteur?

- No, nothing yet, doctor.

We're in constant touch with valdeman.

As soon as we have something, we'll let you know.

Over and out.

- Where's my mommy?

- I don't know.

I'll find her.

- The tiger is following us.

- It's all right.

- It's getting closer.

- The tiger's getting closer.

He'll eat us.

- No, Suzy, Suzy dearest.

- It's pretty good, Tommy.

- Make it laugh for us, Tommy.

Stop it, you're scaring me.

Listen.

- It wasn't you, Tommy.

- Get it, rip?

- Yeah, I got her.

Give me the gun.

- It's all right, darling.

- He won't give you any more trouble now.

Laura.

What are you doing here?

- Oh, rip, you don't know how happy I am to see you?

- Are you all right?

- Carol.

- Is that my mommy?

- Carol, thank god.

- Mommy!

Oh mommy.

- Oh darling, it's all right now.

Mommy's here.

- Go to the aid station.

We'll give her a sedative.

- Oh, rip, I called her Suzy.

- What?

- I kept running and running towards that light.

It kept moving further and further away from me.

It was a nightmare.

- With a happy ending-

I'll have one of my men take you down to the aid station.

I think a doctor should take a look at you.

- No, I'm all right now.

- Before you go anywhere, you better freshen up your makeup.

- I must say, you never miss a chance, do you?

- What about the tiger, doctor?

- Don't shoot it.

We need her alive.

She's already hit.

She's a pretty valuable animal, you know.

Give me the harness.

The stick.

Now follow me and don't make any quick moves.

Easy girl, easy.

Gladys.

Hey, I'm rip, Gladys.

You know me, don't you?

Gladys, come here.

That's a good girl.

- Keep her covered, men.

Be careful, rip.

- It's okay, she'll be out soon.

Be ready with the net.

Come here.

That's right.

Be nice.

Good girl.

There we go.

Okay, I'm holding her.

Now bring around the net.

Easy now.

More to the right.

Moving easy.

Now ready with the net.

Now!

That's it.

- She's still damn frisky.

- It's okay, she can't hurt you.

Now, wasn't that easy, inspector?

- You gotta be crazy.

- What's that?

It's an earthquake.

- Tommy.

- Let's get out of here.

- Help, help, please.

- Feeling better now, Laura?

- Yes, but I'm worried about Suzy.

I must have called her school a dozen times.

The line's always busy.

- You can call her from my lab.

- Her class should be over in about half an hour.

Gotta go and pick her up.

- Can't this car go any faster?

- All the circuits are busy.

Everyone's on the phone, trying to find out

what's happening.

- Hey, wait, come back.

You're bad.

Don't leave me alone.

- It's Alice.

Stop shouting, stupid, it can hear us.

- I'm scared, Tommy.

- Come for me, child.

I'll carry you.

Hurry children.

Run, run upstairs quickly.

- Come on, Tommy.

- No, wait, don't move.

- Why?

Where you going?

- Stay there, I'll be back in a second.

Look, Suzy.

I got these knives from the kitchen.

Take this for self-defense.

Hurry now, come on.

- Tommy, there's a bear!

- Don't stop, come on!

Hurry this way.

Suzy, in here.

- Suzy, Tommy, where are you?

Where have you been?

- In the kitchen.

- We got some knives.

- Here, take this for self-defense.

If it gets too close, use it.

- Oh, oh my god!

Hurry, upstairs, come on children.

No, no, children.

Wait, wait.

Wait here, we'll go in here.

Just let me get the key.

Oh, here it is.

- Hurry, it's coming up here.

- Miss marta, you dropped it.

- Oh, where did it go?

Oh, here it is.

I've got it.

- Open the door.

- Oh, there we are.

Oh, come on.

Come, let's get in.

Oh come on, hurry up, hurry up.

- Hmm, just what I thought it was.

We're getting a reaction, a strong one.

- What's it mean?

- I'm not 100% sure.

The whole thing is incredible, impossible.

It's phenol, phenol chlorate.

Matteos, let's see if it's cyclical.

Run it.

- Dr. berner, the entrance is swarming with newspapermen

who are trying to come in at all costs.

They wanna talk to you, take pictures.

Here's the chlorate.

- You go on with your work, I'll take care of them, rip.

- Good, 3%.

Are you trying to say that someone deliberately put this

in the water supply?

Who would be crazy enough to do such a thing?

- I don't think it's the work of some nut.

Besides, he'd have to pour the exact same amount

in each of the animals' troughs.

It doesn't make sense, especially since all the water

in the troughs is changed regularly.

You know anyone at the city waterworks?

- No, rip.

Wait, berthas, berthas works there.

I could ask him.

Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?

- Could you spare a minute?

- What is it?

- There's something you should see for yourself.

- Dr. berthas, Laura schwarz.

I'm calling from the zoo.

Yes, I think this does involve you.

- Where are they coming from?

- I don't know.

- Where are they coming from?

- It looks like a round up.

- End to them.

- They're stampeding.

Run, quick.

- Run into the cafe.

- Get out of the way.

- Listen, hurry.

- Hundreds of bulls are loose.

- Through here.

- Get behind the counter.

- Out, out, get out of here.

- They calmed down all of a sudden, doctor.

They seem quite normal now, look at 'em.

- Well, don't let 'em drink.

Yeah, they seem okay.

How's Toto now?

- Good, he was one of the worst.

- Hey Toto, want a piece of apple?

Here, open your mouth.

There.

Looks fine, doesn't he?

- Yeah, seems all right now.

There you go, fella.

Want another piece?

Does he eat a lot?

- Yes, quite a lot.

- Yeah.

Here, eat it.

That's a good boy.

Hungry, heh?

Nothing to drink till tomorrow.

- Qkay-

- would you repeat that, please?

It's berthas.

They found nothing unusual in the central tanks.

- At the main aqueduct.

- What about the main aqueduct?

Nothing.

- Doctor, it's phencyclidine all right.

Have a look.

- All right, I can be reached at this number.

Thanks.

- Jesus h. Christ.

- Well, berthas will inspect the entire water system

and keep me informed.

What's that?

- Pcp.

- Incredible.

- It's dynamite.

- It's a drug.

They call it angle dust, beast powder, zombie dust.

- Also jet fuel and pcp.

Athousandth of a gram of it is enough for a trip.

- Sounds wild.

- They add it to tobacco

and smoke it.

- Yeah, you can smoke it, sniff it,

shoot it, eat it, and drink it also.

- But, how do...

- I'll take it.

Yes, speaking.

It's Dr. sorensen from the health department.

Of course I can confirm what Dr. berthas told you.

But, now I can be more precise.

It's phencyclidine hydrochloride.

- Oh Clara, could you...

- you're quite certain?

- That's right, sir.

We've tested it.

- It's really quite incredible

what you're telling me, Dr. berner.

I imagine you're aware that that chemical's

a dangerous drug.

- Exactly.

Pcp.

- And, you believe that this drug

has got into our water, Dr. berner?

That seems to me to be impossible, frankly.

- What do you mean impossible?

Sure I'll let you have the samples.

- Very well, I'll send a car immediately from my department

to pick up the samples at your laboratory.

- No, that won't be necessary.

There's already a police inspector with us.

He'll be sending them.

He wants the sample that have already been analyzed.

Matteos, get them ready.

I'll take them over there.

You still driving?

- You got the best chauffeur in the world.

- Before going to the pasteur,

let's go by Suzy's school and pick her up.

Hey, that's what we feed the mice with.

- Of mice and men.

- Car 22, go to the keynote theater

and help keep people inside.

- You know what I was just thinking?

- That's right unit k, it's a confirmation.

- What?

- That after all this, the lawyers and insurance companies

will have all their work cut out for them.

It'll be millions, billions of marks and claims for it.

- Yeah, but you told headquarters that the effects

of the drug should have worn off by now.

- Yes, before I left your lab.

- Ah.

- Look.

The lights, they're back on.

Oh, it's like the end of a nightmare.

- I'll go in and get Suzy.

Be back in a minute.

- I'll go with you.

Wait here, nat.

Hey, look!

- What?

- Why, that's pompeus.

Yeah.

- Pompeus?

Who the hell's pompeus?

- Over there.

Hey, how are you old man?

- Be careful.

I'll get a gun.

- No, no, he's okay.

Hey, what's the matter?

Too hot here for you?

No, no, he'll be all right.

Now, what's the matter?

You feel better?

Hey!

Pompeus.

- You're crazy, rip.

Stay away from that special squad gets here.

- Hey, that's no way to behave.

- Let them handle it.

- We're friends.

What's the matter, boy?

Be good now.

Come on.

Hey, what do you say, wanna go home?

Come on.

- You be careful, Laura.

I'm gonna call headquarters.

Keep the kids inside, huh?

We don't want them coming out till that thing's in a cage.

- I will.

- Hey, nat, come on over here.

Pompeus wants to meet you.

- Some other time.

Tell him I'm busy.

- Fraulein muller?

- Hold minutes or you will cry.

Close your eyes or you will see.

- Suzy-

Suzy?

- Blue is the sky, green is the grass.

Claws, long.

Close your eyes or you will, you will, you will...

Close your eyes or you will see,

or you will see.

Closing

your“

close your lips or you will speak.

Close your lips or you will cry.

- Suzy-

- oh mother!

Mother.

- Hurry, darling.

- They're crazy, mom, crazy.

- Thank god.

- They're gonna kill us.

- It's all right, dear.

- Get me out of here.

- You're safe.

- They have knives.

Tommy did this.

- What happened?

- Marta didn't do anything.

Tommy came closer and then, and then...

- Quiet.

- Oh mom. - Won't you play with us

pretty lady?

Come on, play with us, please?

Please play.

- No mommy, don't he's bad.

- No, I'm not.

We have a good game.

Come on.

- I'll play with you.

- Good.

- What kind of game do you want to play, Tommy?

- Oh, it's a nice game.

Yes, this one.

It's called playing dead.

Marta likes it.

You see, and you'll like it too.

We know you will.

' Mommy!

- Oh dear.

- Mommy, come on.

Those guys are in the their knives.

- Suzy don't.

Stop.

Suzy!

' Mommy!

- Calm down, darling, I've got you.

' Mommy.

- I'm here, mommy's here.

- Laura!

Suzy!

- No, oh god, please help us.
