00:01:05Okay, we're bringing you in now.
00:01:33Sir, here's a confirmation from the owners.
00:01:41S.S. Barlino Rios expected in New Orleans this day, ten hundred local, coming from Brazil,
00:01:46Central America.
00:01:47Small reefer, seven hundred tons, kept an equal re-crew of ten.
00:01:50They want to know how many survivors.
00:01:54So do I.
00:01:56You're telling me my first maven quartermaster have disappeared?
00:02:04Yes, sir.
00:02:05Where?
00:02:06Only one answer.
00:02:07Overboard.
00:02:08Coast Guard Cutter Point Spencer, request permission to come alongside.
00:02:09Coast Guard Cutter Point Spencer, request permission to come alongside.
00:02:40The maid and the quartermaster were at the bow.
00:02:45We were in forward steering because from the bow to the bridge is more than an eighth of
00:02:50a mile.
00:02:51They were all the way across on the wrong side of the channel.
00:02:56Why?
00:02:57Something happened.
00:02:59Something strange.
00:03:01The last thing I could make out from the maid was a kind of cry.
00:03:07Scared and muffled.
00:03:08Like he had something in his mouth.
00:03:11Get away, he said.
00:03:13Get away.
00:03:14From what?
00:03:15Don't know.
00:03:16Don't think I want to know.

00:08:18Take me.
00:08:19Start a train.
00:08:20A train.
00:08:21What train?
00:08:22A train.
00:08:23A train.
00:08:24This this him it's a train.

00:08:28Sam.
00:08:29Sam.
00:08:30Sam.
00:09:01Sheriff, I'm not going to tell you this again, would you take this thing off my desk?
00:09:26This man wants us to do an autopsy on a dog.
00:09:31It's not a dog, it's my dog.
00:09:34And?
00:09:35And what?
00:09:37And what makes you think we should do this for you when we don't do it for the man on the street?
00:09:41Because you're the sheriff?
00:09:42Because he was poisoned, that's why.
00:09:45Well, a lot of dogs get poisoned, Sheriff.
00:09:48Well, look, I didn't mean to bully you, but...
00:09:51I'd sure appreciate it if...
00:09:53if you could help me.
00:09:58Just how old are you, anyway?
00:10:00Thirty-one.
00:10:01Isn't that kind of young to be the coroner?
00:10:03I'm not the coroner, I'm assistant M.E., and I'm stuck here on this terrific holiday.
00:10:08Your friendly neighborhood just made the great doctor.
00:10:12Are you sure you know what you're doing, doc?
00:10:14Well, very few of my patients ever complain.
00:10:19Can you see the transport of this body yourself?
00:10:21We'll do our best.
00:10:22If there's any problem, we'll call you.
00:10:23All right, fair enough.
00:10:25We'll alert the morgue and let them know you're on your way.
00:10:28In your opinion, would you say this man died from drowning?
00:10:31No.
00:10:32His face and hands are covered with some kind of rash or sores.
00:10:36All right, thank you for your cooperation.
00:10:38Out.
00:10:39Morgue line's busy, sir.
00:10:41Keep trying.
00:10:53Chief.
00:10:54Hold the crew, chief.
00:10:59Animal's approximately five years old.
00:11:02Six.
00:11:03Correction, six years old.
00:11:05External evidence indicates toxic paralysis.
00:11:09Eyes and head very puffed, even disfigured.
00:11:15Close examination reveals...
00:11:21Funny.
00:11:22What?
00:11:31Where you live, do you have any prickly plants and nettles?
00:11:36Yeah.
00:11:38Got some bushes around there with thorns.
00:11:41They grow wild.
00:11:43My wife knows the name of them.
00:11:46I could call her.
00:11:48Wait a minute.
00:11:49Let's see what we've got.
00:12:03Well, you can forget about calling me chief.
00:12:09You can forget about calling your wife.
00:12:13It's a stinger.
00:12:15Insect.
00:12:17You mean some kind of bugs killed, sir?
00:12:25You really want to watch this?
00:12:29No.
00:12:39Beans.
00:12:45Your dog's stomach is full of beans.
00:12:48Oh.
00:12:49Oh.
00:12:50Oh.
00:12:51Oh.
00:12:52Oh.
00:12:53Oh.
00:12:54Oh.
00:12:55Oh.
00:12:56Oh.
00:12:57Oh.
00:12:58Oh.
00:12:59Oh.
00:13:00Oh.
00:13:01Oh.
00:13:02Oh.
00:13:03Oh.
00:13:04Oh.
00:13:05Oh.
00:13:06Oh.
00:13:07Oh.
00:13:08Oh.
00:13:15What time is it?
00:13:16And I bet you've got the wrong number.
00:13:18It's Jeff.
00:13:20Oh.
00:13:22This better be good.
00:13:23Well, I didn't want to call you anymore and you didn't want me to.
00:13:27No?
00:13:28You obviously have no idea how much I don't want to hear your voice.
00:13:32I think I get the picture.
00:13:34So?
00:13:35Jenny,
00:13:36I'm on duty. All I need from you is a technical opinion.
00:13:40Oh. I'm glad you're disturbing my sleep for the use of my brain instead of my...
00:13:44Jenny.
00:13:47Could bees kill a dog?
00:13:49What?
00:13:51Could bees kill a dog?
00:13:55Well, they could, but they wouldn't.
00:13:57Well, they did.
00:13:58Just bees?
00:13:59Just bees.
00:14:02What, did the dog get into the hive and start eating the honey?
00:14:05No. There was no hive near where they found him.
00:14:09So what makes you so sure it was bees?
00:14:11Because the dog's stomach...
00:14:16Do you have a specimen of these bees that killed the dog?
00:14:19Dozens.
00:14:21I'll be in my laboratory in an hour.
00:14:22Same one?
00:14:23Yeah. Not everything's changed.
00:14:26Doctor, I hate to interrupt you again, but you're the only one here.
00:14:36It's all so irregular. I don't know what gets into people.
00:14:39You have to have paperwork when you go to the mall.
00:14:41There's a death certificate, then there's a police clearance, and then the bees...
00:14:51Is this yours?
00:14:52Not anymore.
00:14:54You have to fill out some papers.
00:14:55Anything you say, Doc, as long as we don't have to keep them.
00:15:00You know how to have them?
00:15:01Nobody knows for sure.
00:15:09Sure?
00:15:25One, two, altogether three...
00:15:52That's the eeriest, most frightening thing I ever heard.
00:15:54But...
00:15:55But?
00:15:56What but?
00:15:57Look, you guys are right. These bees could be a disaster.
00:16:00But what do you want from the police department?
00:16:02Well, the coroner's all forced to you, doesn't he?
00:16:04Yeah.
00:16:05Well, I'm reporting.
00:16:06Lieutenant?
00:16:07Yeah.
00:16:08It's Brown again.
00:16:09Tell him no.
00:16:10Look, report to somebody else.
00:16:11Go over my head.
00:16:12Deputy Mayor Pellegrino will be here this afternoon.
00:16:14Oh, this afternoon?
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:16Well, the bees have already killed, possibly, his 13 people.
00:16:18Now, don't you think they should be protected, people?
00:16:21And warned, don't you think?
00:16:22Come on, this is Mardi Gras.
00:16:24Look, I'd like to help, but I can't take the...
00:16:28I can't take the responsibility of panicking everybody over something I can't do anything about.
00:16:32As soon as Mardi Gras is over, I'll give you all the help I can.
00:16:36Right now, I'd get some proof if I were you.
00:16:38Documented proof.
00:16:40You're gonna need more than two glass jars full of bees and some hearsay.
00:16:44No offense, McHugh, but I mean, you don't know for sure those bees are out there killing people, do you?
00:16:48Just how many dead people would you like for proof?
00:16:51Listen, McHugh.
00:16:54How many bees are there?
00:16:59We don't know.
00:17:00Where are they?
00:17:01We don't know that either.
00:17:03You see?
00:17:05Look, I believe you, but I got no men to spare.
00:17:09Document it, and then we'll take it from there.
00:17:14Lieutenant?
00:17:15Yeah?
00:17:16Brown insists.
00:17:17Tell him no.
00:17:18N-O. No is no.
00:17:22Well, back to square one.
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:41What about you?
00:17:42Who, me?
00:17:43Yeah, what are you gonna do? Forget about it?
00:17:46Dive into the magic of the Mardi Gras?
00:17:48On the horns and hats and booms?
00:17:52Ladies?
00:17:54Don't tempt me.
00:17:56I don't know.
00:17:57Are you?
00:17:58Who?
00:17:59I'm going down to Tulane to get these antlers.
00:18:06Well, you can go out your parish and look for those bees.
00:18:10I like your first idea better.
00:18:12Looking for those bees on our own is crazy.
00:18:15Now, why should we?
00:18:17Well, because we's about all we got.
00:18:22You in?
00:18:24Yeah, I'm in.
00:18:26Let's go.
00:18:43What do you see?
00:18:45Standard Italian specimen.
00:18:48And your bee.
00:18:50Similar in all major aspects.
00:18:54Antennae, twelve major segments.
00:18:58Mandible normal.
00:19:01Proboscis, a little mangled, but looks the same.
00:19:07Stinger missing.
00:19:09Try this one.
00:19:13Same sort of mangling.
00:19:16Missing stinger.
00:19:18What makes you think there's something special about this one?
00:19:21Well, this one came from the stomach of a man.
00:19:24Jeff, you said a dog.
00:19:26That was the other one.
00:19:28The man was stung hundreds of times.
00:19:30Maybe a thousand.
00:19:32There was enough toxin in him to kill an elephant.
00:19:35I don't know.
00:19:37I don't know.
00:19:39There was enough toxin in him to kill an elephant.
00:19:56Jeff, there are bees that can kill an elephant.
00:20:01But not bees like that in North America.
00:20:04Yeah, well, the victim was a maid off a freighter
00:20:06that collided with a banana boat.
00:20:09There's eleven crews still missing from the banana boat,
00:20:11and one from the freighter.
00:20:12Banana boat from where?
00:20:13Brazil.
00:20:15Right.
00:20:20What do you call it?
00:20:22The National Bee Stock Center.
00:20:23We knew it had to happen.
00:20:25What had to happen?
00:20:27The African.
00:20:31Makes you nervous, does it?
00:20:32Well, you might say that.
00:20:34Most people feel that way about bees.
00:20:36It's been that way for a million years.
00:20:38Ever since the first man stuck his finger into a hive
00:20:40to get some honey, he got himself stung for his troubles.
00:20:43Honey flow good today, Bill?
00:20:44Fine.
00:20:45That's a pity, really.
00:20:47People don't realize bees are the best friends they've got.
00:20:52You know we send queen bees from here to every part of the country?
00:20:55Repopulate the hives with them.
00:20:57Then their offspring go about the business of pollination.
00:21:00Of course, without pollination...
00:21:01Yeah, no crops, no food. I get that.
00:21:05After you, sir.
00:21:08You know, I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Durant.
00:21:10From Jeannie.
00:21:11Oh?
00:21:12You don't seem to me to be a grade-A died-in-the-wool son of...
00:21:15Rufus.
00:21:23Rufus never had any doubt they would arrive.
00:21:25The question was when.
00:21:27We have a videotape here which I've narrated
00:21:29in order to give the uninitiated some idea of what we're up against.
00:21:33Well, then you are prepared.
00:21:35I wouldn't say that, just forewarned.
00:21:37I had, however, hoped for a larger audience.
00:21:41Caution.
00:21:42The contents of this film are extremely sensitive.
00:21:45This material is not to be shown to the public
00:21:47without the written authorization of the National Bee Center.
00:21:50In 1956, scores of Brazilians were killed
00:21:53when they were attacked by swarms of the so-called Africanized bee.
00:21:57Dr. Jorge Miller, South America's leading expert on insect genetics,
00:22:02explained the bee's presence in the Western Hemisphere.
00:22:05The African bee was imported to South America only as an experiment.
00:22:11The attempt was to increase honey production
00:22:14by controlled breeding of the more aggressive African bees
00:22:18with a gentler Italian strain.
00:22:21Through an accident, the experimental colony was released
00:22:24and began uncontrolled cross-breeding with the South American bees.
00:22:29The African genes are very strong.
00:22:32The bees that are produced by the mating are extremely aggressive.
00:22:37I had no idea they would become as savage as they did.
00:22:41September the 12th, 1965.
00:22:44A swarm of killer bees invaded Rio de Janeiro.
00:22:48The final toll was 82 killed.
00:22:50A country farmer was assaulted so savagely
00:22:53that 80 bees were found in his stomach.
00:22:57A funeral party in Recife was assailed.
00:23:00300 people were injured.
00:23:0218 died.
00:23:04An experiment was established to monitor African bee behavior.
00:23:09Apparently, bees detest the colors black and red.
00:23:13The fury of the attack was so great
00:23:15Apparently, bees detest the colors black and red.
00:23:19The fury of the attack was recorded by a microphone held inside a black bag.
00:23:26Normal protective clothing did not ensure the safety of the cameraman and his assistants.
00:23:33More than 500 stings a minute savaged the bag in which the microphone was placed.
00:23:37The difference between the Italian and African bees is remarkable.
00:23:42Most honeybees attack only to ward off invaders.
00:23:46The Africanized bees attack when annoyed by color or sound.
00:23:51Once an invader has left, Italian honeybees will not continue to swarm in anger.
00:23:57African strain will pursue a quarry for as much as 24 hours.
00:24:02Well, with that film and the bee specimens,
00:24:05at least we won't have any trouble convincing the government.
00:24:07I'm afraid it's not that simple.
00:24:11There is no exterior way of telling the Italian from the African.
00:24:16We have to use a computer.
00:24:18Look, this is a computer.
00:24:20It's a computer.
00:24:22It's a computer.
00:24:24It's a computer.
00:24:26It's a computer.
00:24:28It's a computer.
00:24:29It's a computer.
00:24:31Look, this is going to take at least an hour.
00:24:33Why don't you go into town and get some lunch?
00:24:35The thing is, we don't want to alarm anybody.
00:24:37Then just what the heck are we doing?
00:24:39We're only going to suggest that people not take chances.
00:24:42There's a difference?
00:24:44We've got to know where those bees are.
00:24:47You tell them if they see anything to give us a call and we'll be there right away.
00:24:51And do what?
00:24:54You think I know?
00:24:56Oh, I'll just have the mixed-plate glass of wine and coffee later.
00:25:02Where's the swarm now?
00:25:05Well, as far as we can figure, about 20 miles southeast.
00:25:08Very close.
00:25:10It's like the devil planned it.
00:25:12The bee center is the perfect ready-made breeding ground.
00:25:15That swarm must be destroyed to the last bee.
00:25:19I'll contact Jorge Muller.
00:25:21He claims to have a method by which he can neutralize the action.
00:25:25The Africans.
00:25:27Of course, it'll be no use unless your sheriff... what's his name?
00:25:30Hugh.
00:25:32Yeah, unless he can locate the swarm.
00:25:34I think he will.
00:25:36I think when more people know about it...
00:25:38No, no, you must promise not to do that.
00:25:41We can't panic people.
00:25:43We're in something of a dilemma.
00:25:46If we frighten people, they're going to start killing bees indiscriminately.
00:25:49Especially the farmer.
00:25:51He'll be worried that his animals, his family will be in danger.
00:25:53They'll burn the hives.
00:25:55There'll be less and less bees.
00:25:57Less and less food.
00:25:59Suicide.
00:26:01So what do we do?
00:26:03I don't know.
00:26:05If that swarm enters New Orleans,
00:26:07the city noise alone will set them on a rampage.
00:26:09It will kill every living thing in sight.
00:26:11Your city morgue won't be big enough to cope with the results.
00:26:15These Africans are different.
00:26:17Not only chemically, but psychologically.
00:26:20They don't merely want to sting.
00:26:23They want to kill.
00:26:30Are you looking for bees?
00:26:32Yes, ma'am.
00:26:34Well, you sure come to the right place, Sheriff.
00:26:36I got a whole bunch in the backyard.
00:26:38They've been driving me crazy all day.
00:26:40Do you mind if I take a look?
00:26:42No, you go right ahead.
00:26:44No, I mean from inside, the back door.
00:26:46I don't know.
00:26:48The place is a mess.
00:26:50I've yet to do the dishes.
00:26:51This could be an emergency, Miss Bryant.
00:26:54Well, if you promise not to look close.
00:27:07They've been out there for hours.
00:27:19Could I use your phone, ma'am?
00:27:21Sure.
00:27:27Is that Jimmy?
00:27:29Yeah.
00:27:31Jimmy, go back!
00:27:33That's you, Sheriff?
00:27:35It is. Be careful of these bees.
00:27:37Don't come this way.
00:27:39Go back!
00:27:43See, Sheriff, you don't have to worry about these bees.
00:27:46You don't bother them, they don't bother you.
00:27:52Thank you, Miss Bryant.
00:27:54They're not the bees you're looking for.
00:27:57No, ma'am.
00:27:59I guess they're just bees.
00:28:02You can thank the Lord for that.
00:28:21Come on.
00:28:51Sheriff?
00:29:21Come on.
00:29:51Help!
00:30:21Help!
00:30:51Help!
00:30:52Help!
00:31:20We're closed.
00:31:22We're closed.
00:31:23Open the door!
00:31:27The offices are closed.
00:31:29Yeah, I know.
00:31:31Looking for the Deputy Mayor.
00:31:33His name is Pellegrino.
00:31:34You know him?
00:31:35Yeah, I know him.
00:31:36We really have to find him.
00:31:37What for?
00:31:39Who are you?
00:31:41I'm Pellegrino.
00:31:42Who are you?
00:31:44I'm Jeff Duran.
00:31:46I'm Assistant Medical Examiner with the Coroner's Office.
00:31:48We have an emergency.
00:31:49Today?
00:31:50What difference does today make?
00:31:52Well, what kind of an emergency?
00:31:54It's about a swarm of killer bees.
00:31:56Killer bees?
00:31:59Take that stairway.
00:32:00I'm in 301.
00:32:05Easy.
00:32:06Easy.
00:32:09From the looks of the clothing
00:32:10and the general description,
00:32:12it could be that captain from the Carlina Rios.
00:32:15Well, let's find out.
00:32:23Yes, sir.
00:32:24Oh, yes, sir.
00:32:26Well, I'm just terribly sorry
00:32:27to disturb you at home.
00:32:29Oh, yes, sir.
00:32:30I can expedite it.
00:32:32All of it.
00:32:34Okay, sir.
00:32:35Yes, sir.
00:32:36Goodbye.
00:32:40So?
00:32:41So we go.
00:32:43With a clear procedure.
00:32:44It just so happens
00:32:45that we'd already set up
00:32:46for this particular situation anyway.
00:32:48You mean someone like me?
00:32:49You mean someone in the government
00:32:50actually got a jump on this?
00:32:52Yes, ma'am.
00:32:53Decisive action
00:32:54is very important in cases like this.
00:32:56And what I'll do
00:32:57is I'll get to working
00:32:58with the Department of Agriculture
00:32:59just as soon as I get
00:33:00all the facts straight
00:33:02and, of course, verify the source.
00:33:04Now,
00:33:06your name, again, is?
00:33:08Jeanette Devereaux.
00:33:09I'm a graduate fellow
00:33:10in entomology at Tulane.
00:33:12And you, sir?
00:33:14Jeff Duran.
00:33:15I'm a research pathologist.
00:33:16I fill in on weekends
00:33:17and holidays.
00:33:19You're the young man
00:33:20that turned in a report,
00:33:21but you're not actually
00:33:23a city coroner, are you?
00:33:25No, sir.
00:33:27Well, that could be
00:33:28a little problem there.
00:33:31Of course, I think
00:33:32I can take care of it.
00:33:34I'll just...
00:33:35I'll just tell X
00:33:36the appropriate authorities.
00:33:39And just as soon as I can,
00:33:40then we can get
00:33:41the proper authorization
00:33:42to take care of it.
00:33:43Just as soon as I can,
00:33:44then we can get
00:33:45the proper authorization...
00:33:46Now, hold it.
00:33:47Hold it just a second.
00:33:49What are you talking about?
00:33:50Tell X in proper authority.
00:33:52Well, you don't seem to understand.
00:33:53You see, I just can't
00:33:54take this on myself, Ted.
00:33:55What do you mean, can't?
00:33:56I think you better.
00:33:59Now, wait a minute.
00:34:00Do you know who you're talking to?
00:34:02Yeah.
00:34:03I'm talking to
00:34:04a damn fool civil
00:34:05serving his idea of actions
00:34:06to sit on his damn...
00:34:07What do you want me to do?
00:34:08Run up and down a levee
00:34:09with a butterfly net in my hand?
00:34:11Let me tell you something, mister.
00:34:14Now, you want action?
00:34:16You'll go through
00:34:17the proper channels
00:34:18or you won't get it at all.
00:34:35Sheriff!
00:34:37Sheriff!
00:34:40I was just coming
00:34:41to see you, Sheriff.
00:34:42It's my Julie.
00:34:43She never come home
00:34:44from church.
00:34:46Six hours now.
00:34:48I'm worried sick.
00:34:50Something's happened.
00:34:51I know something's happened.
00:34:54Come on, Ms. Confer.
00:34:55Get in.
00:34:57You know something's happened.
00:34:59No, ma'am, I didn't say that.
00:35:00Just come on and get in.
00:35:03All right.
00:35:10All right.
00:35:25That's what we need.
00:35:29Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:35:31We promised Rufus.
00:35:32I know we promised Rufus.
00:35:33You know what Rufus said
00:35:34about them bees?
00:35:35Yeah, well, maybe we should
00:35:36give him a call.
00:35:37Well, you talk to him.
00:35:38You do what you want.
00:35:39All right.
00:35:57Dr. Rufus Cowder, please.
00:36:05Dr. Cowder.
00:36:07Rufus, it's Janie.
00:36:09Nobody in the city government
00:36:10will do anything fast enough.
00:36:12Jeff thinks if we're going to get
00:36:13any kind of results at all,
00:36:14we ought to make some sort
00:36:15of a public announcement.
00:36:17Janie, you mustn't do that.
00:36:18You promised me.
00:36:19But I'm trying to tell you
00:36:20that Jeff is convinced
00:36:21that if we're going to get
00:36:22any kind of results at all,
00:36:23we've got to give the story
00:36:24to the television people.
00:36:26I'm beginning to think he's right.
00:36:28Please, I've spoken to Jorge Miller.
00:36:30Richie, can you swing the camera down
00:36:32and set me up for an interview spot?
00:36:36Great.
00:36:37And tell the desk to monitor this.
00:36:38They may be interested in it.
00:36:40Yes.
00:36:41Yes, I'll meet Mueller.
00:36:43Flight A, Air Brazil.
00:36:46Do you really think he's got an answer?
00:36:48Okay.
00:36:49Yes, ma'am.
00:36:50Ready? Here we go.
00:36:52This is Mary Gordon,
00:36:53Side Light on New Orleans.
00:36:55With me today is Dr.
00:36:58Wait a minute.
00:36:59Could you give me your name again, please?
00:37:00Duran, Jeffrey Duran, Dr.
00:37:01Dr. Jeffrey Duran.
00:37:02Yes, ma'am.
00:37:03Got it.
00:37:04Okay, here we go.
00:37:06This is Mary Gordon.
00:37:08Rufus, I can't hear you.
00:37:17With me today
00:37:18is the assistant medical examiner
00:37:20for the city of New Orleans,
00:37:21Dr. Jeffrey Duran.
00:37:23Dr. Duran has come up
00:37:24with a rather startling story.
00:37:27It concerns the approach to New Orleans
00:37:29of a woman...
00:37:30Just a minute.
00:37:31Did this man introduce himself as a doctor?
00:37:34I am a doctor.
00:37:35He often does that.
00:37:36I suppose he's told you
00:37:37a lot about bees, too.
00:37:39There are bees.
00:37:40I really think you'd do better
00:37:41not to listen to what he says.
00:37:43Jeff, Jeff, please.
00:37:45Wait.
00:37:46Dr. Mueller is coming in town
00:37:47from Brazil tonight with a solution.
00:37:57Are you sure?
00:38:01No.
00:38:08Cut it off.
00:38:12If those bees show up,
00:38:14head for the burner
00:38:15and get behind it.
00:38:16Yes, sir.
00:38:19Can you light up that fast every time?
00:38:21Yes, sir.
00:38:22Well, that's fine.
00:38:24Now, we're going to form a line
00:38:25and move through this field.
00:38:28We're going to go around
00:38:29and around and around
00:38:30and around and around

00:42:00Sheriff?
00:42:11Pretty soon we're going to run out of jobs.
00:42:13Tell me about it.
00:42:17Well, at least you can
00:42:19call that Coast Guard lieutenant
00:42:20and tell him his men can have liberty.
00:42:23It's no rare disease.
00:42:25Just your standard death by basting.
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:32Yeah, sure, Sheriff.
00:42:46Yeah, all right.
00:42:55Well, it's a seven-year-old girl.
00:42:57That's a seven-year-old girl
00:42:58that's on her way in.
00:43:01They're headed out
00:43:02looking for another one.
00:43:06When I took this job,
00:43:07I never thought
00:43:08there was going to be overtime.
00:43:11How do you ever get
00:43:12into this line of work, huh?
00:43:14Lucky, I guess.
00:43:24We got his footprints here
00:43:25heading into the river.
00:43:27We can work from here down.
00:43:28The tide's going that way.
00:43:33Did you see the bees?
00:43:34They pull out that air cleaner
00:43:35in the tractor?
00:43:36I did.
00:43:37You got any idea
00:43:38what you're going to do
00:43:39if they come after us?
00:43:41I do.
00:43:43I am going in that water.
00:43:45And I ain't coming up
00:43:46till I get to Pensacola.
00:43:57Oh, my God!
00:44:28It's good of you to come
00:44:29on such short notice, Dr. Miller.
00:44:43I think it's sort of nice
00:44:44the city gave you
00:44:45a welcoming parade.
00:44:58You don't mind my asking,
00:44:59what's in the case?
00:45:03It is, I hope,
00:45:05the answer.
00:45:28Help!
00:45:30Help!
00:45:32Help!
00:45:35Help!
00:45:57Help!
00:46:23It is short
00:46:24for a stop, this I admit.
00:46:28Right over there.
00:46:30Oh, come on, Sheriff.
00:46:31Them bees is fast asleep.
00:46:33Fine, I guess you want
00:46:34to wake them up.
00:46:57Help!
00:47:13Sheriff!
00:47:14Sheriff!
00:47:28He's got to him,
00:47:29even in the water.
00:47:31Even in the water.
00:47:43Slightest hole,
00:47:45they'll find it.
00:47:48That's one reason
00:47:49they go for the mouth.
00:47:52I'm going to go
00:47:53and see if I can find it.
00:47:54That's one reason
00:47:55they go for the mouth.
00:47:58Some swarms of Africans
00:47:59have such venom
00:48:01that I believe a man
00:48:02can be killed by as few
00:48:03as three stings.
00:48:05As you know,
00:48:06this suit was made
00:48:07specially to my own design.
00:48:10It's quite fantastic.
00:48:11A normal netting cloth unit
00:48:12is pitifully inadequate.
00:48:15They sting right through.
00:48:18Well now,
00:48:20my intention is quite simple.
00:48:22I shall enter the swarm.
00:48:23Enter?
00:48:25And I shall pick out the queen
00:48:26and replace her with a new queen.
00:48:29New queen will gather
00:48:30the swarm around her.
00:48:32And when they hive
00:48:33and begin to breed,
00:48:34they'll eventually produce
00:48:35a new generation of
00:48:36hard-working,
00:48:37non-aggressive offspring.
00:48:39Now, wait a minute.
00:48:40I thought you came up here
00:48:41to stamp out the swarm.
00:48:43My dear Miss...
00:48:45Jeanette Devereaux.
00:48:47If you were to attack
00:48:48the swarm and kill the queen,
00:48:50it would simply disperse.
00:48:53These killer bees
00:48:54being genetically dominant,
00:48:55I believe, Dr. Carter,
00:48:58that just a few
00:48:59refugee bees in this center
00:49:00could mean the Africans
00:49:01would cover America by...
00:49:05as early as September.
00:49:20Still there?
00:49:22I told them they'd have to wait.
00:49:29Gentlemen.
00:49:34How's it going?
00:49:37Ah, fair, I guess.
00:49:40We've been hearing things.
00:49:42Rumors.
00:49:43Wives talking.
00:49:45I don't know.
00:49:47I don't know.
00:49:48Rumors.
00:49:49Wives' tales.
00:49:52Is there a bunch of killer bees
00:49:53loose in the parish?
00:49:55That's right.
00:49:57Where are they now?
00:49:59Last place was
00:50:01near Cazio's.
00:50:03After that, we're just guessing.
00:50:05What are your plans?
00:50:08There's a man who's
00:50:09come in from Brazil.
00:50:10He's gonna do something with them.
00:50:12We're talking about evacuation.
00:50:15There's some hard decisions
00:50:16gotta be made.
00:50:17People have to be taken care of.
00:50:19I doubt if there's...
00:50:20Because if those bees cut loose,
00:50:23everybody in this parish
00:50:24is gonna go across that river
00:50:26at the same time.
00:50:28We...
00:50:30We thought that
00:50:31we ought to...
00:50:33You know...
00:50:37Yeah, I know.
00:50:41And I'm willing to give you,
00:50:42gentlemen, of the council priority.
00:50:45Because when those bees
00:50:46cross that water,
00:50:47and they will cross it,
00:50:50I can't think of anybody
00:50:51I'd rather see
00:50:52standing on the opposite shore.
00:50:56Churn.
00:50:57Yes, sir.
00:50:58Show these gentlemen out the door.
00:51:01And if they don't disperse
00:51:02within five minutes,
00:51:03run them in for loitering.
00:51:06Yes, sir.
00:51:07One of these days, McHugh,
00:51:09you're gonna go too far.
00:51:14I probably will.
00:51:16But it'll take a better man than you
00:51:18to tell me when that is.
00:51:36Well, I can leave if you want.
00:51:40Now, that's some entrance line.
00:51:46May I ask why I am being
00:51:47so singularly honored, sir?
00:51:54I'm sorry.
00:51:56I'm scared.
00:51:58Well, why do you think I'm here?
00:52:01I have to go out
00:52:02and see McHugh
00:52:03and get organized for tomorrow
00:52:04about some crazy scheme
00:52:05I don't have a slightest faith in.
00:52:08And you want to hold hands?
00:52:12I don't.
00:52:13And you want to hold hands?
00:52:16Something like that.
00:52:22It took a swarm of killer bees
00:52:23to bring you back.
00:52:27It took seeing you again.
00:52:32To credit the bees, if you want.
00:52:36No, thank you.
00:52:39I refuse to be grateful
00:52:40to a bunch of bees.
00:52:43Is that actually meant
00:52:44the way it came out?
00:52:47Warm and pleasant?
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:54I don't know.
00:52:57All right.
00:53:13All right.
00:53:43Anybody home?
00:53:45No.
00:53:52Evening.
00:53:55My wife's mad at me.
00:53:56The city council
00:53:57is going to have my job.
00:53:59Now, what do you want?
00:54:00I just want a cup.
00:54:03Over there.
00:54:08You want a drink?
00:54:10No, thanks.
00:54:14Well, I just sent in another victim.
00:54:18Albert Cazio.
00:54:21Farmer.
00:54:24Good man.
00:54:29That red van up there?
00:54:32Maybe.
00:54:35Shouldn't be too far off.
00:54:37Dawn, they'll cross that bridge
00:54:39in a minute.
00:54:41Dawn, they'll cross that bayou.
00:54:45They will?
00:54:46Yeah.
00:54:48There's a field planted in flower.
00:54:50It's on Hoomer Road.
00:54:52If I was a bee,
00:54:53that's where I'd go for breakfast.
00:54:55I'll start there in the morning.
00:54:57Are you trying to think like a bee?
00:55:01Yeah, I guess so.
00:55:04Well, they're about 30 miles
00:55:05from Bee Center.
00:55:09I think they're heading straight for it.
00:55:10You know, it's like I almost knew it was there.
00:55:13Yeah, my pa used to say
00:55:14there's good in every situation
00:55:16for somebody if you look hard enough for it.
00:55:20I wonder what he'd say
00:55:21about this predicament.
00:55:24Well, maybe it takes this sort of thing
00:55:25to get people thinking about
00:55:27other people.
00:55:31Everyone
00:55:32or everything being in the same boat.
00:55:36Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:55:39Do you?
00:55:42Yeah.
00:55:44You mean there ain't no damn bees
00:55:46gonna get the best of us?
00:56:09Oh, yeah.
00:56:28Well, you really come out in the world, boy.
00:56:34Well, at least it was bad.
00:56:39Good morning.
00:56:40What's the good of what?
00:57:01Hey, Jeff.
00:57:02I'd like you to meet Dr. Miller.
00:57:03Dr. Miller, this is Jeff Durand.
00:57:05Doc.
00:57:06Yes, hello.
00:57:09Are we all here?
00:57:10Come a little closer.
00:57:15You each have radios
00:57:16and you've been given the sectors
00:57:18you'll patrol, all right?
00:57:19Now, I'd like to urge you to be very careful
00:57:22of any undue noise.
00:57:25The Africans are extremely sensitive to vibration.
00:57:28In the event you are attacked,
00:57:30your vehicles are the safest place.
00:57:33But remember to close all vents instantly.
00:57:37Miss Debrow and I will remain here
00:57:39in readiness for the sighting.
00:57:41I'll expect each of you
00:57:42to report every 15 minutes.
00:58:06Let's go.
00:58:34This is McCue.
00:58:35I'm on my road.
00:58:37Nothing here.
00:58:39Sorry, Jeff.
00:58:49This is Deputy Durand checking in.
00:58:52I just rolled.
00:58:54Nothing here.
00:59:06This is Stilt on the levee.
00:59:08I don't see a thing.
00:59:19It's Jeff, Dr. Cotter.
00:59:22We're on Bohemian Road.
00:59:25And we got nothing.
00:59:30Come on, come on.
00:59:33Come on.
00:59:36Give them time.
00:59:38Time?
00:59:39In one hour, we can fly 10 to 15 miles.
00:59:42We're faced with a circle.
00:59:43It can get only larger and larger.
00:59:46Get in.
01:00:06What's that?
01:00:08Well, it's not bees.
01:00:09That's for sure.
01:00:13Think we should take a look?
01:00:36This is McCue.
01:00:38Jeff, Dr. Cotter, have you got anything?
01:00:41I just have a dead chicken, Sheriff,
01:00:44with a red cap on it.
01:00:46Anything else nearby?
01:00:55There's a strange symmetrical design in the grass.
01:00:59Don't touch anything.
01:01:00It's all sacred.
01:01:01A watch, Sheriff?
01:01:03It's voodoo, Dr. Cotter.
01:01:06Anything special we should do?
01:01:09Nothing.
01:01:10Leave it be.
01:01:11We need all the help we can get.
01:01:32Aah!
01:01:36Aah!
01:02:01Aah!
01:02:19There.
01:02:29The bees are in there.
01:02:31Let's go.
01:02:37We're out on Peninsula Road.
01:02:39There's a hot dog stand.
01:02:41I know it. Go ahead.
01:02:43The swarm is inside.
01:02:44Dr. Mueller says he wants all cars kept out of the area
01:02:47until he gives the word.
01:02:48He says he wants the roads blocked.
01:02:51Will do.
01:02:57Oh, please wait for the others.
01:02:59No.
01:03:00You'll start the car and take me there.
01:03:02Close all the windows and all the vents.
01:03:04When I give you the signal,
01:03:05turn off the engine and coast as far as you can.
01:03:07I shall walk the rest of the way.
01:03:10Do you understand?
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:13Under no condition are you to get out of your car.
01:03:17Let's go.
01:03:30Aah!
01:04:00Aah!
01:04:31He's going towards the door.
01:04:33What are the bees doing?
01:04:36Not much.
01:04:37He told me they don't mind silver.
01:04:39It's the colors black and red that set them off.
01:04:42Marty, come on!
01:04:43Hey, Silf!
01:04:44Charge!
01:04:49Come on, Silf!
01:04:50Come on, Silf!

01:07:21Come on, Silf!
01:07:22Jeff, somebody's here!
01:07:23Jeff, somebody's here!
01:07:24Jenny?
01:07:25Jeff, what do I do?
01:07:26Stay in the car.
01:07:27Get in!
01:07:28Let's go!
01:07:30Jenny Jeff, what do I do stay in the car?
01:07:48Hey, bro
01:07:59Oh
01:08:29Oh
01:08:59Oh
01:09:29Oh
01:09:59Oh
01:10:29Oh
01:10:59Oh
01:11:22Jenny can you hear me?
01:11:30The beads are all over the car
01:11:36Windshield is
01:11:39Covered I can't Jeff. What do I do?
01:11:44Don't panic
01:11:46The cars are tight
01:11:49Think of something
01:11:51Yes
01:11:55Sure
01:11:57How do you get this clamped or
01:11:59You can't do that. This one would disperse if they got to the B Center
01:12:03We'd have killers all over the country maybe all over the world
01:12:06As long as that swarm is viable every B will stay with it. So we got to keep it together
01:12:13You could freeze him what
01:12:16Freeze him he's become a mobile at 45 degrees Fahrenheit
01:12:21If you could drive that car somewhere
01:12:24Could drive it inside of a refrigeration plant or a packing plant. No, that's no good
01:12:29It can't already be cold bees hate the cold. They fly away wherever we go
01:12:33It'll have to cool down after we get there. Also, it'll have to encompass the entire swarm
01:12:37I mean some of those bees are 50 hundred yards from the center of the swarm great idea Rufus
01:12:42I don't think there's anywhere in the world like I'm describing
01:12:45Hell isn't doctor. Don't you Saints fan?
01:12:48What
01:12:52We'd have to drive the car right through the center of town
01:12:54I mean the noise the motion the bees would fly away. Hey, you're crazy. You haven't got a prayer
01:12:59Prayer is exactly what you have got. This is the quietest day of the year in New Orleans. I don't understand
01:13:06It's Ash Wednesday, dr. Sharon called me
01:13:12Jenny yes
01:13:15How much gas you got
01:13:24Okay
01:13:26Don't open up anything
01:13:29Don't turn your air-conditioner on
01:13:31Just start your engine
01:13:44Oh
01:13:46Oh
01:14:10You have to drive Jenny
01:14:13Fifteen miles an hour. We'll escort you you follow us. Can you do that?
01:14:21I'll try
01:14:25We're going to superdome
01:14:27You have 60 seconds to clear the street well bring it through a swarm of killer bees
01:14:57I
01:15:02Repeat killer bee any loud noise
01:15:12Get off the street
01:15:21It's no joke
01:15:27You have 60 seconds to clear the street
01:15:35You are in danger you have 60 seconds to clear the street get off the street
01:15:58You
01:16:00Going just a bit too fast Jenny slow down. We can't afford to lose one single bee
01:16:12Okay, that's fine
01:16:27You have 60 seconds
01:16:37We're almost there I'm going ahead to get the door open
01:16:57Oh
01:17:22Jenny
01:17:24How you doing
01:17:28Lousy I never thought I'd be this scared of my life
01:17:34Yeah

01:17:39Can't say everything I want to say over an open mind
01:17:43Yeah, I know
