00:00:00🎵
00:00:25Max, come in. Can you hear me? Where are you?
00:00:29I hear you fine. We're just buzzing around Manhattan.
00:00:32Hey, what's bugging you?
00:00:33I got a job for you, do you hear me?
00:00:35We got a ship, the Caribbean Lady,
00:00:37heading towards the Marzano Bridge.
00:00:40It's not answering our radio phone.
00:00:43Go and check it out, will you?
00:00:45Yeah, will do.
00:00:47We're heading for the harbor now.
00:00:49En route.
00:00:50You going up?
00:00:53I told her, sweetie, Max.
00:00:55Old Max called me six times already.
00:00:59We're over, Lady Liberty. What's the background, please?
00:01:02We have no background.
00:01:04The harbormaster spoke to the captain last night
00:01:06and told him to wait for permission to enter the harbor.
00:01:08But then we haven't heard a word.
00:01:10Now they're just heading right up the street.
00:01:12Maybe their radio's busted.
00:01:14Maybe.
00:01:15But the captain knows the rules.
00:01:17He should have stopped in the bay.
00:01:18Instead, he's gone to the harbor.
00:01:20I don't know what's going on.
00:01:22I don't know what's going on.
00:01:24I don't know what's going on.
00:01:25I don't know what's going on.
00:01:27He said he stopped in the bay.
00:01:28He said he's coming in like gangbusters.
00:01:30They must have smoked the stuff to smuggle him.
00:01:32I'll go wake him up.
00:01:34Yeah, you do that.
00:01:39There. There's the ship.
00:01:42We got a signing. You're right.
00:01:44He's coming in fast.
00:01:46That's against every regulation in the book.
00:01:48The captain's a real turkey.
00:01:50We're going in for a closer look.
00:01:51I'll get back to you.
00:01:58Hey, Fred.
00:02:24This is Francis Kellen.
00:02:25What do you see?
00:02:27There's not a soul in sight. Really weird.
00:02:30No signs of damage, huh? No fire?
00:02:33Nah, nothing.
00:02:38Whatever happened to the crew? It was sudden.
00:02:41What the hell do you mean by that? What about the lifeboats?
00:02:45Well, they're all there. I guess you better send a tug right out.
00:02:48Gotcha, Mac. Will do.
00:02:50Alert the doctors. Put the ship in quarantine at an isolated dock.
00:02:54Ray, we won't stand an emergency procedure.
00:03:01Understood.
00:03:02Mike's on its way. How much time we got?
00:03:05Hurry up.
00:03:25All right, this is a restricted area.
00:03:27If they told me to come here, I'm Dr. Turner of the health department.
00:03:31All right, the lieutenant's waiting for you over there.
00:03:40Lieutenant. Ah, doctor.
00:03:42Thanks for getting yourself here.
00:03:44You're welcome.
00:03:45You're welcome.
00:03:46You're welcome.
00:03:47You're welcome.
00:03:48You're welcome.
00:03:49You're welcome.
00:03:50You're welcome.
00:03:51You're welcome.
00:03:52Ah, doctor. Thanks for getting here so quickly.
00:03:56I'm lieutenant Harris. Pleasure to meet you.
00:03:58So this is the mysterious vessel.
00:04:00That's right, the Caribbean lady.
00:04:02Tug caught up with her in the straits.
00:04:04Put a man on her and he shut down the engines.
00:04:06The captain? The crew?
00:04:08There wasn't a soul on board. Just this weird smell.
00:04:11Like something rotting.
00:04:12That's right, out of Conrad.
00:04:14Where was she coming from?
00:04:15The tropics. We're checking on it now.
00:04:19We'll have to make a hygiene check on the cabins.
00:04:22Lieutenant, I can't work without witnesses.
00:04:25You'll be coming with me?
00:04:26Where's that?
00:04:28On the vessel.
00:04:29Well, I'd rather go ice skating in Rockefeller Center,
00:04:31but the captain said I was to take my orders from you,
00:04:33which doesn't leave me much choice.
00:04:35Let's get into protective clothing. I want to go home.
00:04:37The sooner the better.
00:04:46Let's go see what this mystery is all about.
00:04:48Later, doc.
00:04:52Let's go.
00:05:18We might as well split up.
00:05:19Charlie, you and the officer with you
00:05:21on the ship. We'll check the bridge.
00:05:39Doc, it's like something out of a movie.
00:05:41It's a ghost ship.
00:05:42This doesn't make any sense.
00:05:44Didn't you tell me that the captain radioed in last night
00:05:46that everything was normal?
00:05:47The whole crew just doesn't disappear into thin air.
00:05:50Here's a log book. Let's see what it says.
00:06:07Here we are.
00:06:08The last entry is dated last night.
00:06:10It says they're 15 days out of home port
00:06:13and expect to docker New York within 24 hours.
00:06:16Visibility is good.
00:06:17Miles southeasterly wind.
00:06:19About seven knots.
00:06:20Sea moderately calm.
00:06:22No mention of the crew.
00:06:23And it's signed by the captain...
00:06:25I don't get it. Where is everybody then?
00:06:28Signed Pedro Mendez.
00:06:30One thing's for sure.
00:06:31Whatever happened, it must have happened all of a sudden.
00:06:34Otherwise, it would be written here in the log.
00:06:37It looks like it might be the officer's mess.
00:06:39What do you say we check it out?
00:06:40That's what we're here for.
00:06:41Me first?
00:06:42You first.
00:06:43That's what I thought you'd say.
00:06:45Well, here goes.
00:06:53There's nobody here, Doc.
00:06:54Let's try the next one.
00:06:55I think we better take a closer look.
00:06:57We'll be here all night at this rate.
00:06:59Let's go.
00:07:00Let's go.
00:07:01Let's go.
00:07:02Let's go.
00:07:03Let's go.
00:07:04Let's go.
00:07:05We'll be here all night at this rate.
00:07:10What the hell happened to these people?
00:07:12Well, from the evidence,
00:07:13they stopped eating in the middle of their meal
00:07:15and jumped overboard.
00:07:17Next you'll be saying it was something they ate.
00:07:20Funny, Doc.
00:07:23I wonder where this door leads to.
00:07:24Shall we try it?
00:07:25That's what we're here for.
00:07:27You want to go first?
00:07:28Come on, open it.
00:07:29It's stuck.
00:07:32Judging by his uniform,
00:07:33that's our friend Mendez, the captain.
00:07:35Yeah, and he hasn't been dead for long either.
00:07:37Completely torn apart.
00:07:38What do you think could have done that to him?
00:07:40I wish I knew, Lieutenant.
00:07:42But look at the way his skin and clothes are torn.
00:07:45It's almost as if, I don't know,
00:07:47it's almost as if he exploded.
00:07:49Exploded?
00:07:50Yeah, but not because of a bomb.
00:07:52It's more like he exploded from inside.
00:07:56Nothing here.
00:07:57This one's empty.
00:08:04What's in here?
00:08:13I found some more.
00:08:16My God, look at that.
00:08:17I'll tell you one thing, Lieutenant.
00:08:19No disease or virus can reduce a man to this state
00:08:21in such a short time.
00:08:23But we've got to do something.
00:08:25We've got to do something.
00:08:26We've got to do something.
00:08:27We've got to do something.
00:08:28We've got to do something.
00:08:29We've got to do something.
00:08:30We've got to do something.
00:08:31I mean, according to the lab book,
00:08:32up until last night, everything on board was normal, right?
00:08:35Army, call headquarters and tell them
00:08:37we may have an epidemic on our hands.
00:08:39And hurry!
00:08:40Yes, sir.
00:09:02See that?
00:09:03It's just like the other two.
00:09:04Harris was right.
00:09:05This wasn't caused by any virus.
00:09:06That's for damn sure.
00:09:07But the hell could it have been, then?
00:09:08I mean...
00:09:12Doctor, look.
00:09:13Man, it's really weird.
00:09:14Looks like they blew up or something.
00:09:15Right, Lieutenant.
00:09:16And there's this trail of green gunk
00:09:18that leads into the hull.
00:09:19Green gunk?
00:09:20Sure.
00:09:21We wouldn't want to follow them without telling you first.
00:09:23Door open?
00:09:24Let's go have a look, then.
00:09:31Come on.
00:09:42This hole's full of coffee.
00:09:44Universe.
00:09:45Strange name for Colombian coffee.
00:09:47What do you think, Lieutenant?
00:09:49What do I know from coffee?
00:09:50I never drank this stuff.
00:09:51What is strange is this X.
00:09:53It's a different lettering.
00:09:54Doesn't seem strange to me.
00:09:55Probably just their trademark.
00:09:57Of course.
00:09:59This place gives me the creeps.
00:10:01Right.
00:10:02What about those 20 bodies upstairs?
00:10:04Let's go.
00:10:05Whoever killed those men certainly wasn't coffee.
00:10:07Hey, wait a minute.
00:10:08What's that over there?
00:10:10That's not coffee.
00:10:19What are they, Doc?
00:10:20I don't know.
00:10:22But whatever they are,
00:10:23they came out of this case of coffee.
00:10:25You think the rest of these cases are filled with those things?
00:10:28You won't know until you look.
00:10:29But at last we found something besides the missing crew that doesn't add up.
00:10:32Well, what do you think they are, Doc?
00:10:37They could be something like a giant squash or avocado or some kind of mango.
00:10:44They look like big green eggs to me.
00:10:46Doc, there's one over there.
00:10:48Look.
00:10:49Where?
00:10:50Under the pipes.
00:10:56Look.
00:11:01It's bigger than the other ones.
00:11:03It's pulsating.
00:11:04Something out of a heartbeat.
00:11:06They're hot.
00:11:08Most likely these pipes carry steam or hot water.
00:11:10I'm only making a guess, of course,
00:11:12but heat must have an effect on these things,
00:11:14causing them to ripen.
00:11:16That would explain why the others are still green.
00:11:18It's smaller.
00:11:22Like in a hothouse.
00:11:24Does it have anything to do with those guys being killed, Doc?
00:11:26I really don't know.
00:11:27We'd have to examine them in the lab to be sure.
00:11:29I'll go get you one.
00:11:31Don't touch them. It could be dangerous.
00:11:33Don't worry.
00:11:55Oh.
00:11:58Oh.

00:17:40Oh!
00:17:41Oh!
00:17:42The
00:18:11first examinations all show the same results. This is not an egg, but an intensive culture
00:18:17of unknown bacteria. Pathogenous, perhaps, but definitely deadly. Artificial? I still
00:18:23don't know. But what we might define as the egg's yolk is a preset matterization culture.
00:18:29It reacts to heat. When the temperature is raised, it undergoes a cell mutation and becomes
00:18:34deadly. Pao, come over here. Now watch.
00:19:04As you can see, I am extracting a sample of the substance from the interior of the egg.
00:19:21What is that stuff? That stuff's what caused those deaths, right? Right. It's one hundred
00:19:27percent active. Now watch.
00:19:50I am now going to inject some of the fluid into this white rat. Now all we have to do
00:20:15is wait. It takes effect almost immediately. My God. I saw it happen to human beings. It
00:20:37was horrible. Do you have any idea why and how this happened? I need more time for tests.
00:20:48If you need any help, there's no problem. The Defense Department can open any door.
00:20:54I could use Hilton of the University of Michigan. He's the top expert on artificial bacterial
00:20:59culture and mutations. We can get him here in three hours. Put the wheels in motion,
00:21:03and I'll see what I can do. I feel responsible. If I had only notified you when that ship
00:21:14was being towed in, there would have been three deaths less, and you would have had
00:21:20more time to investigate. I don't think it was your job to notify me, Lieutenant. Can
00:21:27I go? No. You stay here. What else can I do? Don't sell yourself short. You're not
00:21:35going home. I need you. Well, if I'm really that necessary. Of course, I could get much
00:21:44better collaborators than you, but you've been involved in this since the very beginning,
00:21:51and I'm sure you understand. It has to be kept absolutely secret. Is that clear? Yes,
00:21:57I'm afraid so. Yes. Where do we start? First, we have to find out who was supposed to receive
00:22:05this lethal cargo. I've already checked it out. It's an import-export company. No offices,
00:22:11just a warehouse in the Bronx. Oh, my God. Call it intuition. I think they planned to
00:22:17put them in the sewers. Sewers? Yes, sewers. They're just as warm and damp and comfortable
00:22:22as an enormous incubator. Imagine a hundred of those eggs scattered in the New York sewers.
00:22:28It would blow up the city in one night. Wait a minute. The ship wasn't to unload until
00:22:34tomorrow morning. Right. Whoever's receiving this cargo may not know yet. We might still
00:23:09open up. Open up! There's somebody in there, I'm sure of it. It's probably a watchman.
00:23:36What's all the racket? Who is it? Open up. We have a warrant to search these premises.
00:23:44Okay, okay, okay. Fire!
00:24:44Drop your guns!
00:24:59You're surrounded. There's no way out. Keep moving!
00:25:44No, you stay here.
00:26:14Call in the flamethrowers.
00:26:38Flamethrowers? Why? It's the best way to destroy all those eggs.
00:26:47I want you to burn everything.
00:27:09First you freeze the ones on the ship. Now you're burning these. You don't believe in
00:27:25half measures, do you? I'm only doing my job. You must know by now that national security
00:27:30is at stake. And possibly even more than that. Since I last saw you, Dr. Hilton and I have
00:27:37successfully analyzed the yolk of the egg. There. These are segmented dodecadric cells.
00:27:44You know, they never showed us anything like that back in school. In fact, they don't exist
00:27:48in nature. Not in our nature. Nor in the mutations we have been able to achieve up till now. The
00:27:55cells of the eggs in question have structures based on silicon, whereas all earth organisms
00:28:03have cells that are based on carbon. Earth organisms? I don't believe these belong to
00:28:09our planet. Do you mean they come from outer space? Why not? How many worlds are there
00:28:20in the universe? Millions, perhaps billions. True, they're millions of light years away.
00:28:27But perhaps a form of life like this doesn't have the same concept of time as we do. It
00:28:32stays inactive. Passive. As long as it's in the absolute freezing temperature of sidereal
00:28:39space. Then, once it falls into an atmosphere like ours, the seeds germinate and the eggs
00:28:47grow. If you're talking about cells wandering in infinity, they have one chance in several
00:28:55billion of falling on our planet. That's practically impossible. Unless... Unless they
00:29:05come from much closer, but... Of course. Of course. Try to imagine that it all happened
00:29:16not because the seeds to create the eggs came to us, but because we went to them. A man
00:29:24could quite easily have brought the seeds here. But a man would never do anything like
00:29:29that. Well, those Bronx warehouse guards might have been crazy, subjugated, but they were
00:29:34men. And not even astronauts. Hey, they couldn't have gone into space and come back without
00:29:38anybody knowing about it. But we have known about it. We've always known about it. Don't
00:29:44you remember? The Mars mission. Hubbard, the English astronaut in the international project
00:29:49which first investigated the red planet, came back to Earth a little crazy. He said
00:29:55strange things had happened at the Martian pole. But the other astronaut, Hamilton, said
00:30:01that Hubbard dreamt it up. Do you remember what else Hubbard said? He spoke of... My
00:30:08God, now I remember. He talked about eggs. Eggs. Oval, longish eggs. Eggs like footballs.
00:30:19Like that one over there. I believe Hubbard was not as crazy as we all thought he was.
00:30:27Me included. Now, we have to find Hubbard as quickly as possible.
00:31:19Are you sure this is the house? Yes, the last address we have in our police files. I'd rather
00:31:26go up alone. You wait for me here. All right. If you need me, just listen. Okay. Why'd you
00:31:36want to go up alone? Well, Colonel Holmes was on the committee that interrogated Hubbard
00:31:42after his space trip. And, well, she was the one who actually suggested that he was crazy.
00:31:48Maybe she just feels responsible. Almost a human reaction.
00:32:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:32:48.
00:33:18We've met before, Commander Hubbard. I'm Stella Holmes, Colonel Holmes, Special Division 5.
00:33:39You're exactly what I need.
00:33:48Well, what do you want with me? Haven't you put me through enough already?
00:33:58Oh, shut up, Hubbard, that's enough.
00:33:59Oh, I'm your goddamned...
00:34:01Your bitterness is quite understandable, considering that I was on one of the commissions that interrogated you.
00:34:08Interrogated? You mean judged and convicted, don't you?
00:34:13Kicked out of the service like some crazy lying visionary.
00:34:19What are you doing here anyway? Idle curiosity?
00:34:23Oh, come on, Colonel, what is it you want to know?
00:34:26How many times a week I screw?
00:34:29If you're always in this condition, it's quite obvious you couldn't get it up, even if you used a crane.
00:34:39What do you want?
00:34:41Information, and we need it immediately.
00:34:44Because time is of the essence. This is a very serious matter.
00:34:48Here.
00:34:51Do you recognize these?
00:34:58Why are you bothering to torment me?
00:35:02I thought this case was over and done with.
00:35:06I thought this case was over and done with long ago. It's closed.
00:35:10These are your drawings. This is what you claimed you saw on Mars, right?
00:35:20Why don't you just leave me alone?
00:35:23I never saw anything.
00:35:26I don't know what Mars is, and I was never there.
00:35:31I know what you went through. Shame, dishonor.
00:35:35Everybody was against you and treated you like you were a hallucinating madman.
00:35:40And you were with them. Right in the front row.
00:35:45Yes, I remember you, Dr. Holmes.
00:35:48I remember you really well.
00:35:51With your ironic, head-of-the-class attitude.
00:35:55Always so sure of yourself. Always so goddamn...
00:35:59Presumptuous and idiotic. You're right.
00:36:03Now I know. You were telling the truth all along.
00:36:11Does this resemble what you saw?
00:36:14But...
00:36:16But these are photographs.
00:36:19But there hasn't been another expedition to Mars.
00:36:22No. These were found here, on Earth. Thousands of them.
00:36:25Here?
00:36:27In the United States. We found them by chance.
00:36:30And burned them.
00:36:32But how many of them are left? Where? Exactly what they are, we don't know.
00:36:36Hubbard, you're the only one who can help us.
00:36:39You said you saw them on Mars. You do remember, don't you?
00:36:43It was all...
00:36:45It was all such a long time ago.
00:36:48What happened on Mars two years ago?
00:36:52You knew our mission.
00:36:55When we reached Mars, we landed at the polar ice cap.
00:36:59Hamilton and I decided to look around.
00:37:02And after a while, we...
00:37:04We came to an opening.
00:37:07A cave in a mountain of ice.
00:37:17And... And then...
00:37:20What happened after that?
00:37:24It's... It's confused. It's...
00:37:27It's difficult to remember.
00:37:30Come on.
00:37:32We went into the cave.
00:37:34It was dark and strangely humid.
00:37:37And it was there we saw the eggs.
00:37:40God, there were so many.
00:37:43They were green, just like the one in your photograph.
00:37:47And then, from the back of the cave,
00:37:50I heard a noise as if something was approaching.
00:37:53Something ominous.
00:37:55And it radiated a light.
00:37:58As it moved towards us,
00:38:01it was slowly filling the cave
00:38:04with this blinding, hypnotic light.
00:38:08As it came towards us,
00:38:11I looked at Hamilton and his eyes...
00:38:15He was beginning...
00:38:18Hamilton was beginning to...
00:38:21Hamilton!
00:38:25Mars has always stimulated man's imagination.
00:38:29It is a common belief that if there was other life in our solar system,
00:38:33then it would be on Mars.
00:38:35H.G. Wells imagined Martians as flying monsters,
00:38:38which invaded Earth.
00:38:40Others have pictured them as little green men.
00:38:42But as far as that cave was concerned,
00:38:45there was absolutely nothing in there.
00:38:47No life forms.
00:38:49Only rock and ice, like everything else we found up there.
00:38:52Therefore...
00:38:54I'm sorry to contradict my colleague, Hubbard.
00:38:57Our mission...
00:38:59Our mission was almost beyond human limits.
00:39:02I came close to a nervous breakdown, too, more than once.
00:39:05I was... I was just luckier than my poor friend.
00:39:08That's all.
00:39:10Son of a bitch.
00:39:12He even convinced me.
00:39:17Now we know that Hamilton lied.
00:39:20But I don't understand.
00:39:22If he did see those eggs, why didn't he confirm it?
00:39:25I think it's best we question Hamilton.
00:39:29We would if we could.
00:39:31I only wish it was possible, but I...
00:39:34I don't have the gift of bringing corpses back to life.
00:39:38Hamilton died six months ago.
00:39:40What?
00:39:41Yes.
00:39:42His private airplane crashed off the coast of Florida.
00:39:46In that case, Colonel, what the hell does that leave us with then?
00:39:49Hubbard?
00:39:51You saw the state he's in.
00:39:53And we know now he actually saw the eggs.
00:39:57Only I have the feeling we have to take this investigation in another direction.
00:40:02What are you going to do?
00:40:06Well, I have one plan.
00:40:08If I can get the Pentagon to give me the authorization.
00:40:13Call the airport. Reserve three seats on the first flight.
00:40:16A tourist class. We're like regular passengers.
00:40:19Invent three names and have three passports ready.
00:40:22Got it.
00:40:24Did Washington okay it?
00:40:26Yes, but with strings, as usual.
00:40:30They gave me 72 hours to solve the case.
00:40:33Then they'll blow the whistle with a general alarm
00:40:35and call a special session of the Security Council.
00:40:38That means that the...
00:40:40The...
00:40:41The...
00:40:42The...
00:40:43The...
00:40:44The...
00:40:45The...
00:40:46The...
00:40:47The...
00:40:48The...
00:40:49The...
00:40:50The...
00:40:51The...
00:40:52That means that the people who have the eggs will have plenty of time to find another nest.
00:40:57Right. We've got to get to them first.
00:40:59Luckily, we already have one lead.
00:41:01You mean the coffee company in South America?
00:41:05Very good.
00:41:07Well, I'm glad to know that you're not such an idiot after all.
00:41:13Since I've decided to take you along with me.
00:41:17It's great to hear your superiors appreciate you.
00:41:21Really.
00:41:22We're leaving right away. Go get ready.
00:41:24Oh, no problem.
00:41:26I travel light.
00:41:29Go up and get your hairbrush, okay?
00:41:32Oh, I get it.
00:41:35You too would prefer to be alone.
00:41:39See you later.
00:41:47Oh, have fun.
00:41:52What about you?
00:41:56Do you want to come?
00:41:59No, I dropped out a long time ago.
00:42:03Didn't you put your signature on my discharge too?
00:42:08I've already had you reinstated in full.
00:42:10Doesn't that solve the wound?
00:42:12No, I don't give a damn.
00:42:15What do you want from me?
00:42:17What do you want from me?
00:42:20With all my diplomas and official recommendations, I'm still a wreck.
00:42:24Okay.
00:42:26Then you can just go stew in your own juice, wallow in self-pity.
00:42:34But I thought that under that wreck, there was still a man.
00:42:40A man who had the guts to go to Mars.
00:42:43A man who fought to the end for what he believed was right.
00:42:48A man who could help us save this frail planet from a fate worse than death.
00:42:55But that man remained on the glaciers of Mars, and this whiskey-soaked wreck is just empty.
00:43:01You're a man, I...
00:43:02What would you do? Nothing.
00:43:04You'd do nothing, Hubbard, because you're incapable of doing anything.
00:43:07You're too soft. You're half a man.
00:43:10That's just so that we understand one another.
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:17I believe we do understand one another.
00:43:23Now, what about that little trip to South America?
00:45:09Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
00:45:39go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

00:46:39They've arrived. They're at the Grand Hotel. In three separate rooms. On the second floor.
00:46:54I don't know who the guy in the middle is, but he looks like a cop. The woman is Stella Holmes,
00:47:01a first-class mind. Too bad. And then, well, what do you know, my old friend Hubbard,
00:47:07the last survivor of the Mars expedition. He's the only one we haven't gotten up to now,
00:47:15but his turn will come. What do you intend to do?
00:47:23Don't worry, dear. I haven't found anything out yet. We're running this game.
00:47:30They're on our territory, so let's start by sending a little welcoming gift.
00:47:35Miss Holmes is first.
00:47:41This is the location of the coffee factory. If this is their headquarters,
00:47:45the egg plantation should be somewhere in this area.
00:47:48Well, if they are there, I'll find them.
00:47:51Right. You fly over the area tomorrow morning. Iris and I will inspect the coffee factory,
00:47:56but don't take anything for granted. Remember, we're dealing with something from beyond our
00:48:01planet. And we've already lost a whole day traveling. Well, we can make up for it tomorrow.
00:48:08Well, we're in big trouble if we don't. And the rest of humanity along with us.
00:48:13Well, this particular piece of humanity is going to be in trouble if it doesn't get
00:48:17something to eat pretty soon. Let's say in half an hour.
00:48:21Why not now? I want to change and wash before.
00:48:24Jesus Christ, the whole world is going to be wiped out,
00:48:27and all this broad's worried about is getting changed.
00:48:29Listen, Iris, if I have to die with the rest of the world,
00:48:33then I want to have a proper dress up and clean underwear.
00:48:37I think what the colonel's trying to tell you is that there are some people who travel with
00:48:41more than just a comb and a pair of pajamas. I don't wear pajamas.
00:48:46Out. I want to have a shower. Out.
00:48:51Out. Both of you.
00:49:00What a waste of a good looking woman. Is something wrong with her or is she just buried?
00:49:18Yeah, to a test tube and a whip. You know, I don't think the colonel would
00:49:22have been out of place in that snow cave on Mars. You know, all women are alike all over the world.
00:49:29It's just a question of handling them properly. Now I treat all women gently.
00:49:35Don't worry, I have no intention of trying. I'm warm blooded. I don't like the cold.
00:49:40Well, I'll see you at dinner. In half an hour. Good.
00:49:58Bye.
00:50:29I thought you didn't like the cold.
00:50:34Hey, you're right. I'd better turn off the air conditioner.
00:50:38That's not the only thing you should turn off. OK, OK.
00:50:41I'll come and get you when I'm ready. Right.
00:51:59So
00:52:02so
00:52:06so
00:52:26hey, who's there?
00:52:37So
00:52:59oh, my God.
00:53:06Help!
00:53:36Hello. Could you give me the number of the local airport, please?
00:53:49Help!
00:54:36Oh, yes. Operator, please. Miss Stella Holmes, room 227. Thank you.
00:54:59Help!
00:55:01Help!
00:55:04Help!
00:55:06Get me out of here! There's an egg!
00:55:10Hubbard!
00:55:22I'm sorry, sir. That room does not answer.
00:55:26Well, it doesn't matter. All right. Thank you.
00:55:33Oh, my God.
00:56:04I can't get you out of this.
00:56:18Oh
00:56:25Ready yes, I was just waiting
00:56:49Yeah, we're gonna eat here in the hotel or do you think we'll go somewhere else
00:56:53Well, I expect it'll be exactly where the colonel decides
00:57:04Weren't we supposed to meet her here
00:57:07Come on, we'll eat by ourselves. Yeah, but she no no, no, come on cousin over
00:57:12She can order something for herself on room service. What an ice cream
00:57:18Oh
00:57:41It's not her style not to keep an appointment
00:57:43Yes, when I put up a do-not-disturb sign, I usually intend to do more serious things and just take a shower
00:57:58What's the matter
00:58:01I'm not sure
00:58:06Maybe we had better knock
00:58:08Hey, come on. What if she's sleeping?
00:58:10Don't worry. I'll take the blame
00:58:40Oh
00:59:10This is a local specialty I
00:59:39Hope I had to make it up as a treat for you to celebrate the unfortunate demise of miss hopes
00:59:51What's wrong the egg
00:59:56The egg what happened to the egg I can feel it inside me like before
01:00:04Another one of our creatures has been sacrificed
01:00:07It was completely useless that woman is still alive, but that's impossible. I know she is I
01:00:18Can feel her
01:00:20She's alive
01:00:23The egg failed to kill her
01:00:25Out everyone out leave me alone
01:00:29You too
01:00:36I
01:01:06I
01:01:36I
01:02:06I
01:02:16Place is so goddamn sinister. I
01:02:20feel like
01:02:21Somebody is scratching my head, but from the inside
01:02:24That could mean we're on the right track. Yeah
01:02:27It could also mean that we're heading straight into a goddamn trap
01:02:32Would you feel any safer if we had the whole Marine Corps to help us you don't understand Colonel's and I'm no hero
01:02:38Just your average Brooklyn cop
01:03:02I
01:03:33Oh
01:03:41We're the ones who phoned earlier are you mr. Gomez? No, senor. Mr. Gomez is over there. Hey, mr. Gomez
01:03:46These are Americans who call you about the coffee
01:03:49Yes, mr. Gomez
01:03:51Hi, name's ours. Nice to meet you
01:03:53Hello, mr. Gomez. Would we go inside right this way?
01:04:02You
01:04:16As you can see we use the most modern equipment and now the plant is separated into several departments each with its own
01:04:24Responsibility, you know, and here's where we toast the coffee to different degrees according to where we export it
01:04:30It's a toasting ovens three tons at a time imagine that no three tons of coffee can make a lot of people very nervous
01:04:42Senora this gentleman and lady would like information about our coffee
01:04:50Yes, I was waiting for them you can go
01:05:00I'm
01:05:01Bella de la Cruz the owner. How can I be of him?
01:05:04Oh, yes, we would like to buy a large amount of your coffee
01:05:09You know somebody told us that here you toast a very special brand of coffee
01:05:14Yes, a very very special kind you just sent some to New York on a cargo ship called the Caribbean lady
01:05:21Yeah, really. Yes
01:05:24Doesn't that name mean anything to you
01:05:27Frankly no, we send shipments all over the world
01:05:31However, if you would like to see the various kinds of coffee we produce, please follow me
01:05:36All right, then you can choose the one you like great idea
01:05:56I
01:06:26We
01:06:29Have a complete production operation here from picking to packaging including instant and decaffeinated coffee
01:06:36Everything is controlled by computers. Each unit is vacuum packed and contains exactly 200 grams
01:06:45This is where the bulk coffee is unloaded and stored before processing we have our own coffee plantation nearby
01:06:53Fascinating isn't it?
01:06:57And
01:07:04Now we have arrived arrived what does that mean all your questions will be answered here
01:07:19Now it's clear who cultivates those eggs, it's you isn't it?
01:07:23Yes
01:07:25But I'm not alone I'm the head of the operation
01:07:34Hamilton alive, it's a pity you won't be able to tell anyone
01:07:55I
01:08:25I
01:08:55I
01:09:25I
01:09:31Yes, colonel Holmes
01:09:34You can call me Stella
01:09:38Thanks
01:09:41My name is Tony, okay
01:09:47Well, Tony
01:09:49If you had listened to you good old cop instinct instead of my MIT educated calculations
01:09:59Told you I felt something scratching inside my head from the inside
01:10:03ESP I'm the perfect subject
01:10:09Maybe it's because I'm not too smart
01:10:16You know something now I can tell
01:10:20You've always made me feel like a caveman
01:10:25You're the first one I ever went after that I couldn't get past first base with
01:10:35I'm sorry
01:10:41Well, imagine how I feel
01:10:49Turn around a little bit
01:11:03That wasn't much I know it's the most fantastic thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life
01:11:19I
01:11:35Who did this
01:11:43Right
01:11:49The zombies
01:12:19I
01:12:49I
01:13:19I
01:13:49I
01:14:19I
01:14:49I
01:15:06Get up
01:15:14It's time for you to come where
01:15:18To the Cyclops Cyclops. Yes
01:15:25The Cyclops
01:15:47Oh
01:15:51Hey you
01:15:55What are you doing you were assigned to right in front
01:16:01Come on come on get in we're leaving
01:16:17I
01:16:25Hundreds more are being picked right now
01:16:27Everything will be ready in a few days. Then the eggs will be shipped sent around the whole world
01:16:32There won't be any mistakes this time. No, no stop us. What's the reason behind all this Hamilton? It doesn't make sense
01:16:39What's the purpose behind any living being?
01:16:42Grow multiply survive eat in order not to be eaten
01:16:47Kill in order not to be killed the strongest creature shall crush the weakest. That's the purpose
01:16:52You're not talking like a human being. He's not a human being
01:16:56He was once but he's not any longer. You can't understand me
01:17:02Superior being speaks through me
01:17:06Can wipe you out with the mere power of its mind
01:17:09No, not so superior. You were wiped out Hamilton Hubbard wasn't his mind resisted on Mars and he can do it again
01:17:17Here and crush you and your damn master. Whoever that monster is
01:17:23He might have done it again
01:17:26But his mind no longer exists Colonel Holmes. All we had to do was crush a small plane
01:17:33Hubbard is dead
01:17:47I
01:18:17Did everything go all right? Yes, we collected 248. Excellent. Let me see the checklist
01:18:33I
01:18:35Did everything go all right? Yes, we collected 248 excellent. Let me see the checklist
01:18:47I
01:19:17I
01:19:47I
01:20:03It is my master who creates the eggs
01:20:11He grew out of a tiny seed and I brought back from Mars
01:20:14He creates the eggs and then the heat develops them to maturity
01:20:44I
01:21:11He's calling you
01:21:13He wants you go
01:21:22Shut up, it's useless
01:21:43I
01:22:13I
01:22:34Hubbard
01:22:36So, you know who I am
01:22:38And you also know that I've got nothing to lose
01:22:41Now, where do you incubate those eggs? It's too late Hamilton has got your friends
01:22:50Hamilton yes your old friend Hamilton
01:22:58Where are they where?
01:23:05In the forbidden room take me there
01:23:10I
01:23:40I
01:24:10Look
01:24:40I
01:24:42I
01:25:09One word out of you and you're dead
01:25:12I
01:25:42I
01:26:12I
01:26:22Stop
01:26:24I
01:26:54I
01:27:20Know
01:27:22Don't shoot
01:27:52I
01:28:22I
01:28:52I
01:29:22I
01:29:52I
01:30:22I
01:30:53I
01:31:06It wasn't his
01:31:09Hamilton
01:31:11No, the man you met he was just an extension of that monster
01:31:16Completely under its power from the moment that they first met one another in that Martian cave
01:31:21So much so that they both died at the same time
01:31:26But the real Hamilton
01:31:28He never returned to earth
01:31:32Yes, he's still up there
01:31:36On Mars the Cyclops star
01:31:41From now on it'll be difficult to look at the sky
01:31:46Without thinking that maybe somewhere up there
01:31:52There's something waiting
01:32:15I
01:32:45I
01:33:15I
01:33:45You
