Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Those who hunt by night will tell you that the wildest and most vicious of all animals
00:00:10is the tiny shrew.
00:00:12The shrew feeds only by the dark of the moon.
00:00:17He must eat his own body weight every few hours or starve.
00:00:22And the shrew devours everything, bones, flesh, marrow, everything.
00:00:31In March, first in Alaska and then invading steadily southward,
00:00:38there were reports of a new species, the giant killer shrew.

00:01:39The END
00:01:42THE END
00:01:48The Show is a lot of quiet out there.
00:01:52Almost smell it, can't you?
00:01:54No, but I can feel it.
00:01:56That pressure's dropped so fast, it's almost made my ears pop.
00:02:01The hurricane's got different ways of telling you it's there.
00:02:05Where is it?
00:02:07Dead ahead.
00:02:10What's that mean to us?
00:02:12My boy, that puts our port right in the middle of it.
00:02:14There's a cove on the lee side, though. We'll snuggle up close to the bluff and ride it out.
00:02:22What about the bottom?
00:02:24Well, the chart shows it's good holding ground. It's clay.
00:02:30You know something? If this thing had an automatic pilot, I wouldn't have to put up with you.
00:02:35Then you wouldn't have no battery to chew out.
00:02:39We should be there in a couple of hours. These mills of yours keep running.
00:02:43Look, automatic pilots can't play Dixieland jazz on them engines like I can.
00:02:58Hey, Rook. Rook, come here.
00:03:03Take a look.
00:03:05There she is, dead ahead.
00:03:07Man, that sure do look good.
00:03:15A man named Craggers owns this island, doesn't he?
00:03:18That's the name on the crate, Dr. Milo Craggers.
00:03:20We'll unload tomorrow. I don't want this craft sitting high in that water when that blow hits.
00:03:25You're going to ride stern, too, with a lot of water under?
00:03:27That's right. That sea won't make up in that cove.
00:03:30That wind will have her whipping around like a kite.
00:03:33Step forward and break out the heavy-weather hook.
00:03:36The track will make sure it's free to run.
00:03:37I'll mount society.
00:03:38Good.
00:03:39Good.
00:04:11Oh, she'll ride like a duck.
00:04:21If she swings too far to starboard, we might have to take a check line to shore.
00:04:26Hey, Rook, take a slant up that trail.
00:04:31Now, that's a rather strange setup, wouldn't you say?
00:04:35Looks like somebody's getting rid of somebody, huh, Captain?
00:04:39Maybe. Hard to tell.
00:04:41I'm Dr. Craig.
00:05:00Thorne Sherman. Have your supplies aboard.
00:05:03That's good. Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson, I hope.
00:05:06Well, I wouldn't know. I just thought he'd run.
00:05:10Oh, I see. Were you able to fill our order?
00:05:14Everything on the list. Here's the manifest.
00:05:17Missing last week's supply has drawn us a little short, you know.
00:05:21Captain, after you have unloaded, I have a passenger for you.
00:05:25Anne.
00:05:25Captain Sherman, this is my daughter, Anne Craig.
00:05:31Hello. So you're the passenger?
00:05:33That's right, Captain.
00:05:35Oh, it's going to be nice having you aboard.
00:05:38I'm getting a little tired looking at Griswold.
00:05:39But we're, uh, we're not leaving today.
00:05:47In fact, we're not even unloading.
00:05:51That load will cut the roll in half.
00:05:53Are you expecting an invasion?
00:05:58Yes, animals.
00:06:00Game or otherwise?
00:06:02There are certain conditions that could be dangerous.
00:06:09Hey, Ruff.
00:06:10You want to shake the kinks out? Limber up a little?
00:06:13Not me, Captain Blythe.
00:06:14You go right ahead and stretch your legs.
00:06:16That ship's going to be bugging like a bug in Bronx for long.
00:06:18Besides, I got some work left to do.
00:06:20If you do come ashore, wear a gun.
00:06:24I got you, Captain.
00:06:24You are potentially looking like a bug in Bronx.
00:06:28I got you.
00:06:28And yet, you might not have some mo restart.
00:06:30I got you.
00:06:31And yet I'll check theirะพะฝะธ now.
00:06:33Until next time today, Hahaha.
00:06:35Well, I got you.
00:06:50When I told you about the hurricane, you act like you didn't know anything about it.
00:06:59What's the matter? You're set broken down?
00:07:01You've been out of communication for more than a week, Captain.
00:07:05Can't be fixed.
00:07:06It's totally out of commission.
00:07:09My assistant.
00:07:11Mr. Ferrell. Jerry Ferrell.
00:07:20Father, perhaps the captain would enjoy a drink.
00:07:24Well, of course.
00:07:27Will you join us in a cocktail?
00:07:28Well, I've never been known to turn down a drink yet. I'll be glad to accept.
00:07:33Fine. In that case, we'll have martinis.
00:07:36Mario.
00:07:37Si, senor.
00:07:39Mix them, please.
00:07:44Right this way, Captain. Come in.
00:07:50Do you have everything here you need?
00:08:09We are self-sufficient here.
00:08:12We have cows for fresh milk, chickens for fresh eggs.
00:08:16We even have saddened horses.
00:08:18Sort of a world all your own.
00:08:19That's exactly what I've tried to create.
00:08:21Well, they each his own.
00:08:24If you have to be isolated for your work, you've picked a lonely little island.
00:08:29Excuse me, please. I think I'll change.
00:08:39She's a little worried because you aren't leaving until tomorrow.
00:08:42I can understand that.
00:08:44There's something else bothering her.
00:08:49Rathford.
00:08:50Rathford.
00:08:51Rathford.
00:08:52Rathford, would you please step over here? I'd like you to meet someone.
00:09:05Just a second, Doctor.
00:09:09Go on for hours.
00:09:12Dr. Bain.
00:09:14There's no need to shop, Doctor. I'm right here.
00:09:16I'd like you to meet Captain Thorne Sherman.
00:09:19This is my other assistant, Rathford Bain.
00:09:21How do you do?
00:09:22Two new litters since lunch, Doctor.
00:09:25Both support GT-116.
00:09:27That's good, but the...
00:09:29We can breed them to the 205 group in about three weeks.
00:09:32But I'd prefer to wait and expose about half of them to the Hoskins factor first.
00:09:37If you agree.
00:09:38Good idea.
00:09:42Do you know there's a hurricane coming?
00:09:45Very good.
00:09:47Well, I don't suppose there's much we can do about that.
00:09:52Glad to meet you.
00:09:53Sherman wasn't?
00:09:54You have to excuse, Rathford.
00:10:02Anything that does not concern his project does not get through to him.
00:10:06Brilliant mind.
00:10:08He would start at it if someone didn't remind him to eat.
00:10:10Must be very interesting work. What's his field?
00:10:13Biology.
00:10:14He specialized in genetics, heredity.
00:10:16I'm afraid my interest doesn't run in that line, you know.
00:10:19Think what would happen if he could isolate and identify the inherited fact on each gene.
00:10:24Now, wait a minute. I'm afraid I'm not very good with pure research.
00:10:28This is practical research.
00:10:31Generally, among mammals, the smaller the size, the higher the metabolism, and the shorter the lifespan.
00:10:36Is that right?
00:10:37Well, I'm attempting to decrease the size by maintaining a low metabolism, and resultant, a longer lifespan.
00:10:44What reason?
00:10:47Overpopulation.
00:10:49Not a problem now, but it will be in time.
00:10:54We were half as big as we are now.
00:10:59We could live twice as long in our natural resources.
00:11:04Father, may I speak with you a moment?
00:11:06Will you please excuse us, Captain?
00:11:09Well, providing you drop the Captain, I prefer it going.
00:11:12Tell me something, Doctor.
00:11:28Has a hurricane ever hit this island before that you know of?
00:11:31I wouldn't know.
00:11:34You've only been here nine months, and this place has been unoccupied for years.
00:11:37Well, have you ever been through one?
00:11:40Only the fringes.
00:11:42Well, this one's building up very fast.
00:11:44Pressure drops very quickly in the center.
00:11:45I'd advise you to get some doors and windows open in this place.
00:11:52Ventilators in the room.
00:11:53And if you'll freshen Anne's drink, I'll go and check them.
00:11:57I'd be happy to.
00:11:59Thank heavens, you arrived today.
00:12:02Why, are racing's getting short?
00:12:04No, it's more than that.
00:12:05Much more.
00:12:07We'll surely be able to sail tomorrow, won't we?
00:12:09Possibly.
00:12:11But not probable.
00:12:12Not too late, anyway.
00:12:14Takes a long time for a sea like that to quiet down.
00:12:17Well, if you're worrying about me, you needn't.
00:12:19I'm a good sailor.
00:12:21Oh, I'm not worried about you.
00:12:24We'll sail when the time's right.
00:12:25Got them opened, all right.
00:12:28Well, Captain, let me freshen you a drink.
00:12:32One for the road.
00:12:34I'm trying to rush you, but it will be dark soon.
00:12:37I've invited Thorne for dinner, Father.
00:12:42Oh, I see.
00:12:43If you're not worried about your ship, you're welcome.
00:12:49I'll take a rain check on that dinner.
00:12:50If you wish.
00:12:51Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.
00:12:56Progress, Doctor.
00:13:00This is the sole survivor of Group 30.
00:13:0328 months old today.
00:13:06Well, that's equivalent to 140 years to us.
00:13:09That's right.
00:13:10Yet, it still maintains low metabolism without any sluggishness.
00:13:16Not the breakthrough, but it certainly sets our course.
00:13:20Ratfoot, suspend series 52 through 96.
00:13:26And we'll concentrate on the rest.
00:13:28What is that?
00:13:28It's a sorex soricity.
00:13:32Looks like a small rat.
00:13:34Smells like a skunk.
00:13:37They have musklans in their knees.
00:13:39These little fellows are our subjects.
00:13:42They have a birth cycle of 10 to 14 days.
00:13:45And using them, we can establish traits.
00:13:48We can trace the progressions through a number of generations
00:13:50over a short period of time.
00:13:53Well, how big do they get?
00:13:54That's an adult.
00:14:00See, the muscle is longer and thicker than the rats.
00:14:04It extends over the lower mandible.
00:14:05See?
00:14:06Does he bite?
00:14:08Only when he's hungry.
00:14:09Well, maybe you better take him.
00:14:10He doesn't know me.
00:14:12All he knows is his next meal.
00:14:16He's just been fed.
00:14:18He'll be all right for another eight hours.
00:14:20He'll be all right for another eight hours.
00:14:21Help!
00:14:24The shutter blew open.
00:14:25Bradford.
00:14:26I got it, senor.
00:14:30Let that scare you.
00:14:31It's going to get worse.
00:14:33Storms always threaten her.
00:14:34Ever since she was a child.
00:14:46They're not climbers.
00:14:47They are digging animals, a lot like the mower.
00:14:53They feed only at night unless they're starving.
00:14:56And when they are hungry enough, they'll tackle anything regardless of size.
00:15:01I'm kidding.
00:15:02If you leave two of them in a cage for 12 hours without food,
00:15:06the stronger will eat the weaker.
00:15:08Like cannibals.
00:15:09Precisely.
00:15:10You see, their intense activity requires a tremendous amount of energy.
00:15:16To supply, they must eat three-time own weight in food every 24 hours or starve.
00:15:24Bradford.
00:15:25Bradford.
00:15:26Would you please take this?
00:15:28Take it.
00:15:29Take it.
00:15:29Yeah.
00:15:29Some call them bone-eaters.
00:15:38When the flesh is gone, they'll eat the bones for marrow.
00:15:41All they'll leave are teeth, horns, hooves.
00:15:44I could use another martini.
00:15:46Do you mind?
00:15:47Of course, my dear.
00:15:48I'll get you one.
00:15:49Mario.
00:16:02Mario.
00:16:03Mario.
00:16:05Aquรญ, por favor.
00:16:08Mario, we'll show you to the bathroom.
00:16:09You'll freshen up a bit.
00:16:11Hierby el seรฑor albaรฑo.
00:16:13Si, seรฑor.
00:16:14Siga-me, por favor.
00:16:15Excuse me.
00:16:19Siga-me, por favor.
00:16:49You got a problem, too?
00:16:56ยฟQuรฉ paso?
00:16:57Nada.
00:16:58Nothing, seรฑor.
00:17:00But you will leave on the ship tomorrow.
00:17:03Well, I think that all depends on the wind and the sea, don't you?
00:17:06Si.
00:17:07Si, seรฑor.
00:17:10I don't know.
00:17:13Ah, you're me joking.
00:17:15I feel the point.
00:17:16I've seen.
00:17:17Well, I'm glad to hear that.
00:17:20Now, if anybody else is concerned about my sailing tomorrow, why, you see, they feel the point, too, huh?
00:17:25I don't like to repeat myself.
00:17:26Okay, seรฑor.
00:17:28Okay, seรฑor.
00:17:28Okay, seรฑor.
00:17:28I don't like to face it.
00:17:30Okay, seรฑor.
00:17:30Now, I take care.
00:17:43Sorry.
00:17:44Bye.
00:17:44Bye.
00:17:48I know, but I'm not saying that you created them, Jerry.
00:18:04I am saying that because of your drunkest stupidity in leaving the cage door open,
00:18:09you created the horrible situation that now exists.
00:18:12Look, Ann, this is a mistake any one of us might have made.
00:18:15I'm getting a little sick of being called an irresponsible drunk.
00:18:21Now, believe me, I am.
00:18:27Excuse me.
00:18:40Care for a cigarette?
00:18:41Thanks.
00:18:42Thank heavens you arrived today.
00:18:44You said that before.
00:18:45What's the strain?
00:18:46I don't know if I'm sorry.
00:18:48Please excuse me.
00:18:49But it seems like everything is coming to a head at once.
00:18:52I want to leave, but I want my father to go with me.
00:18:55Well, then, why doesn't he?
00:18:59We've discussed it many times, but he's adamant.
00:19:03I'm sure Jerry has a lot to do with this decision.
00:19:06You're trying to convince me that the crisis will only last for a few...
00:19:13Well, this is certainly a cozy little scene.
00:19:23Might even be called intimate.
00:19:25Boy meets girl and all...
00:19:26Stop it, Jerry.
00:19:27That remark is uncalled for.
00:19:29What I do or have to say does not concern you.
00:19:31I can't disagree with you more, my dear.
00:19:34I'm concerned with everything you do, and I intend to keep it that way.
00:19:38Now, in my book, an engagement isn't a casual thing.
00:19:40In my book, it isn't either.
00:19:42And last night ended ours.
00:19:44Hmm.
00:20:03.
00:20:09.
00:20:11Oh, my God.
00:20:41Help! Help!
00:20:46Help the car!
00:20:47Somebody help!
00:20:49Help!
00:20:50Help the car!
00:20:58Be reasonable.
00:21:00Everybody in the world is scared to death of something.
00:21:03That's evident.
00:21:04When they came at us last night, you knocked me down getting inside the fence.
00:21:07It's just that I can't stand them.
00:21:09And I've discovered something I can't stand.
00:21:13All right.
00:21:14But I advise you not to mention them to anyone.
00:21:17I'm going to complete these experiments with your father regardless of anything.
00:21:21Do you understand that?
00:21:22Nobody is going to take this chance away from me.
00:21:28That's Captain Sherman.
00:21:30Checking the weather.
00:21:31I'll get him.
00:21:31Captain, time for dinner.
00:21:45Help!
00:21:46Somebody help!
00:21:48Help, Captain!
00:21:50Captain!
00:21:52Somebody help!
00:21:55Captain!
00:22:02Help!
00:22:03Captain!
00:22:04We'll get him.
00:22:04Help!
00:22:05Help!
00:22:05Help!
00:22:06Help!
00:22:06No!
00:22:07No!
00:22:07No!
00:22:08No!
00:22:10No!
00:22:14No!
00:22:16No!
00:22:17No!
00:22:18No!
00:22:20No!
00:22:21I'll miss as good as a mile, I'll wish, eh?
00:22:38You know, if one of those trees crashes through, it might just not...
00:22:41Look, honey, any tree on this side of the house will fall away from it, so just relax.
00:22:45I think I'd better go back aboard.
00:22:48I don't think I'm not grateful for your hospitality. I am.
00:22:51I'll see you tomorrow.
00:22:52Thorne, your ship is safe. Please, stay here with me.
00:22:57Why? You scared or lonesome?
00:23:00Both.
00:23:02I'll take a rain check on it.
00:23:04Thorne, you can't leave. No one opens that gate after dark.
00:23:10Well, who's going to stop me? You?
00:23:13Well, this. No one opens that gate at night.
00:23:21Now, look, I don't ask questions because it's against my principles.
00:23:25Wouldn't you like to explain that?
00:23:28All right. Sit down and I will.
00:23:30Give me the gun.
00:23:32Not very becoming, anyway.
00:23:34You believe in fairy tales?
00:23:35Well, I'm a little old for that sort of thing, but what do you have in mind?
00:23:41Well, I'll tell you about one.
00:23:43A true fairy tale, and you're right in the middle of it.
00:23:46Oh?
00:23:47Have you ever heard of a shrew?
00:23:49As in taming of the...
00:23:50I don't know about the animal.
00:23:52Bradford called them Saurits, Suresity, when he showed you one.
00:23:55Oh, and a true must be the common name for those cute little animals.
00:23:58Cute?
00:23:59That's the last word you can use to describe those little monsters.
00:24:03They're the most horrible animals on the face of the earth.
00:24:06As Father told you, they breed within three weeks after birth.
00:24:08Their lifespan is around one year.
00:24:09Yeah, yeah.
00:24:09I know what your father told me, but what's that got to do with me opening that gate?
00:24:13There are two or three hundred giant shrews out there.
00:24:21Monsters weighing between fifty and a hundred pounds.
00:24:26Fifty to a hundred?
00:24:28Wait a minute, you must be kidding.
00:24:30I'm definitely not kidding.
00:24:34That's as big as a full-grown wolf.
00:24:36And what's more, they are beginning to starve.
00:24:43No wonder you didn't want me to go out there.
00:24:46Thanks for saving my skin.
00:24:48Well, I'm sorry I had to threaten you with a gun.
00:24:51But I didn't know how else to starve you.
00:24:53Oh, it was very effective.
00:24:55But all you had to do was tell me about them.
00:24:58Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to.
00:24:59But you changed everything when you started to leave.
00:25:02And I had to starve you some way.
00:25:06You say there's two or three hundred out there?
00:25:09Anne!
00:25:13That's right, Captain Thorne.
00:25:17And if you'd stuck with your rowboat and played captain instead of trying to play detective,
00:25:22you wouldn't have to worry about how many are out there, would you?
00:25:24That's enough, Jerry.
00:25:31What's wrong, Anne?
00:25:33Thorne decided to leave.
00:25:35To dissuade him, I started to tell him about their shoes.
00:25:38You might as well know the whole story.
00:25:41It's half of it.
00:25:48I guess we're all a little jumpy, Captain.
00:25:49Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:25:50Six months ago, we managed to isolate the Pacta controlling size.
00:25:59Two leaders were born.
00:26:00Six individuals we kept to study.
00:26:03They were about the size of Buckshot at birth.
00:26:07But the rate of growth was abnormal.
00:26:09They continued to grow.
00:26:14They were mutants.
00:26:17But they inherited all the negative characteristics of their breed.
00:26:21Somehow they managed to escape.
00:26:22By the month later, we saw one of the offspring.
00:26:31They were multiplying.
00:26:34We did everything in the world to exterminate them, but no apparent luck.
00:26:40Then we haven't seen any.
00:26:42Since daylight needle blinds them and they forage only at night when they're starving.
00:26:47But the fact that two of them charged Ann and Jerry at the gate last evening
00:26:53indicates that their available food on the island is nearing the patient.
00:27:03Then what, Doctor?
00:27:05They will exterminate each other.
00:27:08It'll take a couple days.
00:27:09What do we do during that time?
00:27:12Stay indoors and wait until it's over.
00:27:17I'll probably get some wires blew down on the transformer.
00:27:20I'm sorry.
00:27:22I'll get some lamps.
00:27:25Mario!
00:27:26Mario!
00:27:28Si, senor!
00:27:29There's a lantern in the pantry.
00:27:30Light it and bring it in here.
00:27:34Bradford, light all the candles you can find.
00:27:37All right, I will.
00:27:37Where's the generator?
00:27:39Outside.
00:27:39Can't get at it at night.
00:27:44Here, let me help you.
00:27:45The lantern will give you all the light you need.
00:27:48I will join you shortly, Jerry.
00:28:02Well, Jerry, I felt she was sincere and made sense from her standpoint.
00:28:07Wanting her father to leave the island with her makes sense?
00:28:12It'd be much better for the project if I went with her for a few days.
00:28:18As a matter of fact, I think I'll talk to Doctor about that.
00:28:21That might be the answer.
00:28:23And another thing, I don't take much to this Thorne Sherman.
00:28:26He looks to me like the type that'd try anything.
00:28:29That left-handed dinner invitation.
00:28:33That was just to keep me here till after dark, wasn't it?
00:28:42I wanted you here tonight.
00:28:44I bet something terrible was going to happen.
00:28:47Why, you still feel the same way about it?
00:28:49Not as much.
00:28:50Not since you're here.
00:28:51I know everything.
00:28:52I love an open fire, don't you?
00:29:10Mm-hmm.
00:29:10The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?
00:29:19Sure does.
00:29:21Like in Sweden, we don't have a wind this strong.
00:29:28You're a strange man, Thorne.
00:29:30I never met anyone like you.
00:29:33How?
00:29:35You seem so disinterested in everything.
00:29:38Aren't you the least bit curious?
00:29:41Don't you wonder about the unusual things around here?
00:29:45The guns, the fins, the shattered windows, my accent, anything?
00:29:52I'll tell you something.
00:29:54I'm only interested in anything that concerns me,
00:29:56then I do something about it.
00:30:01You're going to sail with me tomorrow,
00:30:03whether your father and his family.
00:30:10I don't think he's going out, Jerry.
00:30:12I don't think he was going out, Jerry.
00:30:13I couldn't take a chance.
00:30:28He's fool enough to.
00:30:29Oh, don't be stupid.
00:30:31I had no intentions of going out there,
00:30:33opening that gate.
00:30:34Now somebody needed it.
00:30:36Did you hear it, doctor?
00:30:38It sounded like a human voice.
00:30:39I was thinking of a rook.
00:30:41It was the livestock.
00:30:42His shoes got into the barn.
00:30:44Did Mario forget to bar those doors?
00:31:03No.
00:31:04I put them in the barn myself.
00:31:08They couldn't get through the wood doors.
00:31:11They dug through the dirt floor.
00:31:13Let me ask you something, doctor.
00:31:15How could you expose all our lives,
00:31:17yourself included, with those things out there?
00:31:19All you had to do was get the Coast Guard or the Navy
00:31:21to come in here and burn them out.
00:31:23Those things got loose.
00:31:25Any unusual experiment can produce unusual results.
00:31:30That's why I chose this island.
00:31:32It's isolated.
00:31:34Miles of open water in any direction.
00:31:38Our project is privately financed.
00:31:42It's not a problem for the government or military.
00:31:45The world is no danger.
00:31:50His species does not swim.
00:31:52And as far as the shrews are concerned,
00:31:54this island is their world.
00:31:58Very soon, right here on this island,
00:32:02is going to be a miniature reproduction
00:32:04of an overpopulated world.
00:32:06And you'll see the importance
00:32:08of what we're working to avoid.
00:32:10I'm not concerned about all this theory.
00:32:12What I'm concerned about is our lives.
00:32:14There'll be ample time to panic
00:32:16when they run out of food
00:32:17and go on a 24-hour forage.
00:32:19How do you know they haven't already?
00:32:21That's possible.
00:32:23Their main diet has been the small animals on the island.
00:32:26That source could have been depleted
00:32:2818 or 20 hours ago.
00:32:29And that's why they went after the livestock.
00:32:34There's still some food on this island
00:32:36before they reach the crisis.
00:32:38Where?
00:32:38No worry about them digging in here.
00:32:45The floors are tile.
00:32:47But the walls aren't docked here.
00:32:48They're adobe.
00:32:50Our safest bet would be on that boat.
00:32:53You may be right.
00:32:55You can reach your boat in daylight.
00:32:57The shrews will gorge themselves on livestock.
00:33:01Don't you keep the lethargy for several hours?
00:33:04There's no sense looking at the dark side.
00:33:07And there's no sense minimizing a serious situation.
00:33:10It leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it.
00:33:12Well, we certainly can't make it tonight.
00:33:16That's out of the question.
00:33:17Maybe tomorrow.
00:33:21I haven't.
00:33:22We'll get some sleep tonight.
00:33:24But we'll have a watch.
00:33:25An hour and a half apiece.
00:33:26Doctor, you go first and then Radford.
00:33:28Mario, Jerry, and then me.
00:33:31Shutter all the windows.
00:33:33Make sure they're locked good and tight.
00:33:34Check all these walls.
00:33:38Come on.
00:33:39No, I think I'll stay here by the fire.
00:33:41I feel safer.
00:33:43I couldn't stand it in that room alone.
00:33:46All right.
00:33:46As you wish.
00:33:48But try to get some sleep.
00:34:12You are next to make the patrol, no?
00:34:17You are next to make the patrol, no?
00:34:22You are next to make the patrol, no?
00:34:29Seรฑor Farrell, here is Mario.
00:34:32You are next to make the patrol, no?
00:34:34Yeah, sure, Mario.
00:34:35Come on in.
00:34:38I've been waiting for you to finish.
00:34:41I must have dozed off.
00:34:43You kind of startled me.
00:34:46Sit down.
00:34:46Here, have a drink.
00:34:50It will help you to relax.
00:34:51Gracias, seรฑor.
00:34:53Sit down.
00:34:56Just a while.
00:34:59You just checked every room in the house, didn't you?
00:35:02Sit.
00:35:04Fine.
00:35:06You're a good man, Mario.
00:35:09A man that can be trusted.
00:35:11You know what I've been thinking about, Mario?
00:35:22And that captain, you and me.
00:35:32Imagine an intelligent girl like her going for a common sea tramp like him.
00:35:43I know why.
00:35:45You do, too.
00:35:48In case anything goes wrong, she's looking out for her own hide.
00:35:52That's why I keep thinking about you and me.
00:35:57Anything goes wrong, we're going to outlast them all.
00:36:04I'm going to trust you to take my turn of patrolling the house.
00:36:24But when you finish, don't wait for the captain.
00:36:31Come back here and get me.
00:36:34Yeah, I'll probably feel good enough by then to take his turn.
00:36:40Okay, Mario?
00:36:42Si.
00:36:43Okay.
00:36:43Come back here.
00:36:50Come back!
00:37:05Oh, my God.
00:37:35Oh, Mario, come on in. What is it?
00:37:49There is a big raton in the room.
00:37:52A screw in the cellar?
00:37:54Yes, I hear him singing down there.
00:37:56Well, how did he get in?
00:37:58The store broke out the kitchen window, but I closed it up. He went down there.
00:38:02Why should he go down there?
00:38:03The food for the little ratones.
00:38:06I put out to enfrost their lobby.
00:38:08Did you tell Jerry?
00:38:09No, senor. Here is your turn next.
00:38:12Here is una luz.
00:38:13We kill him, no?
00:38:15Yeah.
00:38:15Ann. Ann, wake up. A shrew got in. It's all right. He's down in the cellar. Now, we're going down after him. But I don't want you to let anybody open that door until I tell you to. You understand?
00:38:45Good girl.
00:39:06Okay. Open it. Just a crack.
00:39:07Okay.
00:39:09Open.
00:39:11Hold on to it.
00:39:15Okay.
00:39:37Take that side.
00:40:07Mario?
00:40:09Here.
00:40:11Do you see anything?
00:40:13I see where he was.
00:40:15I do not see where he is.
00:40:17Be careful.
00:40:19Yes, sir.
00:40:21I will be careful.
00:40:23I see him.
00:40:25He also got me, sir.
00:40:27You won't be safe, sir.
00:40:29Yes, sir.
00:40:31I can't believe I can't see you.
00:40:33But he also got me, sir.
00:40:35You won't be safe.
00:40:37Ah.
00:40:39Oh, no.
00:40:53You all right down there doctor get down here quick
00:41:23He's dead I got this on him right away. He couldn't have bled to death
00:41:48Might as well let go of it won't do him any good now
00:41:55What could have killed him I'm not sure till the autopsy hemotoxic syndrome
00:42:08I'm afraid so we'll know after pathology doctor that's not the same animal you showed me
00:42:17That's a monster as I said
00:42:21There are mutants in controlling the size factor
00:42:26We seem to have crossed some of the other characteristics
00:42:29Well you certainly did a good job of it
00:42:32I've known that for some time captain
00:42:35Would you please give me a hand that Mario Bradford bring up the animal
00:42:46Extremely high poison content in the shrew's saliva
00:43:07Now compare it with this
00:43:10Careful count isn't necessary
00:43:13Any indication the same poison that Mario's blood will give you the answer
00:43:18Yes you're right
00:43:20Look Ann
00:43:23Brooding about it's not going to do any good
00:43:29Now why don't you try to think of something else
00:43:32Tell me what do you do around here
00:43:35Are you a scientist?
00:43:38A mesologist
00:43:39Oh
00:43:40That's the study of animal life isn't it?
00:43:44Well do you specialize?
00:43:45What do you specialize in?
00:43:46A guide
00:43:47Well I had a hand in this too
00:43:50And I'm partly to blame
00:43:52But this ends it
00:44:03If we ever get off this island
00:44:05I'll never have anything to do with it again
00:44:08What will you do?
00:44:11As normally
00:44:11Like normal women do
00:44:13You see it
00:44:15Seem a little
00:44:16Dull after the life I've been living
00:44:19Rather dull and alive than excited and
00:44:22I'll take a dull alive woman every time
00:44:37Say Thorn
00:44:38The autopsy has proved what we suspected
00:44:44Several weeks ago
00:44:47I concocted the most virulent poison I could with the materials I had at hand
00:44:51So we put it out as bait
00:44:54Mario was killed by poison
00:44:57Doctor I wonder if you thought
00:45:01The system of the Sorex enabled them to assimilate that poison
00:45:05It remained in the salivary glands of their jaws
00:45:08Isn't that wonderful?
00:45:11I am sorry
00:45:13Of course
00:45:13I always speak from the clinical point of view
00:45:16Well don't you have something to counteract that poison?
00:45:21Once Mario was bitten
00:45:23I'm afraid there's nothing anyone could have done
00:45:25This indicates that they cannot afford to get
00:45:30Even so much as a scratch from these animals
00:45:32They are more poisonous than snakes
00:45:35What do you think they're all affected?
00:45:38Best way to find out is let them all bite you and see which bite you die after
00:45:43We might just all get that chance, Jerry
00:45:45You included
00:45:46Doctor, I've closed all the doors in the house
00:45:50I suggest we do the same thing with this hall and this lab
00:45:54Cut down the chances of getting in the front of the house
00:45:56I think if we keep a close watch on those walls and windows in there
00:46:00We might make it till daybreak
00:46:02The walls are two feet thick, Hugh
00:46:05Do you think I have a chance to dig in?
00:46:08Of course there's a chance
00:46:09Anywhere that plaster's off
00:46:11That adobe's as soft as mush where that rain hit it
00:46:14How often do we need you to get to that light?
00:46:21Well, I'm going to start to meet you
00:46:23And I can't tell him
00:46:24It's not a bad idea, Doctor.
00:46:49But here's another possibility, Doctor.
00:46:52It's very light out.
00:46:53It's going to be daylight soon.
00:46:56We'll take the shrew that killed Mario and throw it over the fence and use it for bait.
00:47:01If they show up for it, of course, they'll run for the boats out.
00:47:04If they don't, then I'll go down and have Rook lay to with a lighter.
00:47:08Then I'll return to the bend and the trail and give you the all-clear signal.
00:47:13Sounds fine, Captain.
00:47:14Good. Then you explain it to the rest.
00:47:15Yes, I will.
00:47:23Well, the bait's been out for 20 minutes.
00:47:32Nothing's touched it.
00:47:33I'll be right back.
00:47:48Even the wind has gone down, isn't that wonderful?
00:48:14I'm afraid it's not over, my dear.
00:48:16It's just a low.
00:48:18There'll be a lot more.
00:48:19He's right.
00:48:21I'll be back at the bend shortly.
00:48:22Now, you watch for my signal.
00:48:24You can't go alone.
00:48:25I'll go with him.
00:48:26Not you, Father.
00:48:27You haven't even fired a gun.
00:48:29Take Rad or Jerry.
00:48:31Sure, I'll go.
00:48:33Then you'll be sure of getting a signal.
00:48:48Don't shoot that gun unless you have to.
00:49:18We've only got 20 rounds altogether.
00:49:20I know that as well as you do.
00:49:26Sherman.
00:49:28You stay away from her.
00:49:29Do you have that gun pointed at me?
00:49:33Right at the middle of your back.
00:49:36Look, we've got enough problems without worrying about Ann.
00:49:39I'm telling you, stay away from her.
00:49:41When the shrews get through with you, they won't even find a buckshot.
00:49:44Come on.
00:49:44Come on.
00:49:45Let's go.
00:50:15Hey, Rook!
00:50:19Hey, Rook!
00:50:21Rook!
00:50:27Where's this gift?
00:50:32I'll follow that check line. I gotta find him.
00:50:35Since last night, you won't find much of him.
00:50:38Will you shut up?
00:50:39I'm not going back.
00:50:41You're what?
00:50:42I'm staying here.
00:50:43All right.
00:50:45You suit yourself, but if I were you, I'd swim out to that boat.
00:50:50Can't swim.
00:50:51Then stay here.
00:50:53Wait a minute.
00:50:54You gotta give me a gun.
00:50:57Give you a gun?
00:51:02Chairman, wait!
00:51:03Bye.
00:51:15Bye.
00:51:15Bye.
00:51:25Bye.
00:51:25This is the gun we had on the boat.
00:51:45They don't leave much, do they?
00:51:51Sherman, we've got to make a deal for it.
00:51:55What is it?
00:51:57Shh.
00:52:00They've been training us on both sides.
00:52:03Where? I didn't see anything.
00:52:06Look, Sherman, you've got to give me a gun.
00:52:15Whatever you do, don't you run.
00:52:17You stay in front of me because I don't trust you.
00:52:25They're coming.
00:52:35They're coming.
00:52:43Open the gate.
00:52:45Open the gate.
00:52:45Open the gate.
00:52:50Open the gate.
00:52:51You've got to let him in.
00:53:00Let him in.
00:53:02Jerry, open that door.
00:53:17Jerry, the shoes were out there.
00:53:20I couldn't take a chance.
00:53:33Give it a little back.
00:53:34Look at your back.
00:53:36Look at your back.
00:53:43Look.
00:53:44For heaven's sakes, doctor, stop them!
00:54:14All right, didn't he have it coming or didn't he?
00:54:42What happened out there?
00:54:43Oh, nothing much. Jerry just tried to kill me twice in the last five minutes.
00:54:51Brooke came ashore last night. He's dead.
00:54:59This saw was left. Won't do us any good. It's got no ammo.
00:55:12I'm deeply sorry, Captain. I wish you had followed your orders.
00:55:22Look, doctor, you casually mention animals. You didn't explain to us what we were facing out there.
00:55:28You have every right to feel the way you do. My mistake was only mine. It was one of judgment.
00:55:38I didn't know about the hurricane. I didn't anticipate the effect it would have on the shrews.
00:55:43I thought the house would be safe through the crisis.
00:55:47How could you expose your own daughter? How could you expose Ann to that?
00:55:51She was going to leave last week, but the boat didn't come.
00:55:55Let's drink.
00:55:56Anybody else care for one? I could use some coffee.
00:56:04I'll make some.
00:56:05Thank you, by the end.
00:56:07Creamy sugar?
00:56:08Oh, my leg.
00:56:12Oh, my leg.
00:56:22Slam the door.
00:56:24You all right, doctor?
00:56:26He just ripped my trousers, that's all.
00:56:28Are you sure? That's all.
00:56:30I'm completely aware of it, doctor.
00:56:42That was a stupid waste of ammunition.
00:56:54Never want them a clean mess.
00:56:56There's still four of them in there.
00:57:02How did they get in?
00:57:03Through that kitchen window. That rope must be rotten.
00:57:08It got him.
00:57:08He's dead.
00:57:20Oh, no.
00:57:21Oh, no.
00:57:21Oh, no.
00:57:22Oh, no.
00:57:23Oh, no.
00:57:23He recorded every symptom and reaction right up to the moment of his death.
00:57:42Jerry, turn down one of those drapes and cover him up.
00:57:51Sure.
00:57:52Sure.
00:57:54Gregus will cover Ann and I'll cover him.
00:57:58You'll cover me, but who'll cover you?
00:58:00Shut up!
00:58:01We can get on the man who'll sway from the shed.
00:58:04I told you to shut up!
00:58:09Now, you stop sniffling and think.
00:58:12It'll take a take to get us out of here.
00:58:18Oh, my!
00:58:20There!
00:58:20It won't take them all to dig around this?
00:58:39You're right.
00:58:41No telling where else they're digging, too.
00:58:50You're right.
00:58:51Come on, Patty.
00:59:06There's not enough stuff here to barricade those walls.
00:59:21I'll tell you, we'll pile some of those crates up over there.
00:59:23That route's our last chance.
00:59:24Here, help me, Doctor.
00:59:25Hey, see if you can find something light.
00:59:27All right.
00:59:28Here, help me with that, Doctor.
00:59:33Darn, see if you can find some more.
00:59:43Doctor, use these chemical drums as tanks.
01:00:02Individual tanks.
01:00:03Here, I'll show you.
01:00:04All right.
01:00:05Stand down here.
01:00:06Yeah.
01:00:07Look down now.
01:00:08All right.
01:00:09I'll show you.
01:00:10Slow.
01:00:11All right.
01:00:12Are you all right?
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:14Come on.
01:00:15Hold it here.
01:00:16Make some eyepieces.
01:00:17Get out some tools that will abandon the corona.
01:00:20All right.
01:00:29Hey, here's another one.
01:00:32Hey, get that out there.
01:00:33We'll work on it.
01:00:34Hey, that's even better.
01:00:35Give me a little more slack.
01:00:37What?
01:00:38Get some rope and put it on that latch so we can reach it from the ground.
01:00:55Mr.
01:00:56helped him Pick up the button.
01:00:57Take him.
01:00:58Move up.
01:00:59Come on.
01:01:29Somebody over here!
01:01:31Yeah, I'll help it.
01:01:42Now, hold this answer, all right?
01:01:59All right, we're all set.
01:02:04Look, it's gonna be rough, but we should be able to duck walk to the beach.
01:02:08Where's Jerry?
01:02:09There's a lot of them out there. I can see them. I'm not going.
01:02:12Look, come down here. That wind will blow you right off that roof.
01:02:16I told you, I'm not going. I'm staying here.
01:02:19We've got to get them down here somehow, and see if you can coach them down here.
01:02:24Jerry, Jerry, please come down with us.
01:02:26No, Ann, they'll get you if you go out here.
01:02:28Come down here, you fool!
01:02:30Poor devil, I hope he makes it.
01:02:32If he can't leave, he's not responsible for himself.
01:02:37He's got to go now.
01:02:46All right, doctor.
01:02:47All right.
01:02:53All right.
01:02:54Now, hold it up.
01:02:58All right.
01:03:00All right.
01:03:01All right.
01:03:05Everybody ready?
01:03:06I'm going to open that gate.
01:03:09They're ready.
01:03:11Ready.
01:03:12Okay, here they come.
01:03:18Hold on. Hold on.
01:03:28All right.
01:03:32And what's the matter?
01:03:57Your side's dragging.
01:03:59You want to rest?
01:04:00You tired?
01:04:02What did you say?
01:04:08She says she's all right.
01:04:10She's keeping her eyes closed.
01:04:12All right, keep your eyes closed.
01:04:15They can't get at you through the slit.
01:04:28This empty drum is too heavy for her.
01:04:30I can barely hold up my side.
01:04:34I'll be all right in a minute.
01:04:37All right.
01:04:39You walk.
01:04:40I'll drag for a while.
01:04:46Listen.
01:04:47Don't let their head get under.
01:04:49They'll flip us over.
01:04:50Clever.
01:04:53Come.
01:04:55Clever.
01:04:56Clever.
01:05:01Come.
01:05:02Oh, my God.
01:05:32Oh, my God.
01:06:02No, my foot is free, but he got my foot.
01:06:05Is there a scratch?
01:06:07No, not a mark.
01:06:08Keep moving.
01:06:24Let's go.
01:06:25Let's go.
01:06:26God, I don't think I...
01:06:36What?
01:06:40Son!
01:06:41Wait, son!
01:06:44Son, we're close!
01:06:46We'll hit the water soon.
01:06:59It doesn't sound like they're following us anymore.
01:07:01I can't...
01:07:04I can't...
01:07:05We better work deeper.
01:07:14I'm about to round out.
01:07:16Okay, let's swim for it.
01:07:17Okay.
01:07:18Okay.
01:07:18We are safe, aren't we?
01:07:47I'm in the store.
01:07:48Sure.
01:07:49She rode out the first half, all right.
01:07:51That's always the roughest.
01:07:53Anyway, riding an anchor, I'll get a chance to learn a little more about that Swedish accent.
01:07:58In 24 hours, there'll be one shrew left on the island, and he'll be dead of starvation.
01:08:05An excellent example of overpopulation.
01:08:08Well, you know something, Doctor?
01:08:10What's that?
01:08:12I'm not gonna worry about overpopulation just yet.
01:08:17Perfect.
01:08:18Right.
01:08:19Go on.
01:08:20Go on.
01:08:21Go on.
01:08:22Go on.
01:08:23Go on!
