00:02:43♪
00:02:48Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:02:51Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:02:55Just hold it a second, will you?
00:02:57Liz!
00:03:00Do you hear me, girl?
00:03:02♪
00:03:11Oh, you won't now.
00:03:13♪
00:03:17You can't play that thing so loud.
00:03:19Would you come out like this for a minute?
00:03:23Oh, don't bother me.
00:03:25Liz.
00:03:30Someday I'm going to give that she-cat a whoopin' she's been asking for.
00:03:35Sure you will, Dave.
00:03:36Lay the law down to her.
00:03:37I don't know who wears the pants around here.
00:03:41I'll be back in a minute.
00:03:45Any whoopin's done back there, I'll lay you a jug.
00:03:48She'll be doing it.
00:03:52Come on now, Lemon.
00:03:53Tell us about that thing you killed out there at the swamp, will you?
00:03:55Yeah, Lib, let's hear the rest of that.
00:03:57Like I was saying, I put five slugs into that critter before it went under.
00:04:03Don't go on this thing I ever seen.
00:04:06Ain't regular arms on it like a man.
00:04:09It was sort of different looking.
00:04:11Had suckers on them.
00:04:14Like one of them, uh...
00:04:16Like one of them octopus's things.
00:04:19Oh, it was plum awful looking.
00:04:22Lemon, you sure that critter wasn't pink?
00:04:25Oh, I told you before, it was sort of gray looking.
00:04:32You can laugh if you want.
00:04:34But that thing weren't nothing nature put out there.
00:04:37No, sir.
00:04:38And it weren't no freak gator either.
00:04:41I've been poaching this country for 40 years and I ain't never seen nothing like it.
00:04:47Too bad you didn't bring it back.
00:04:49Steve Benton probably paid a fair bounty for it, whatever it was.
00:04:52Bounty?
00:04:54I wouldn't touch that critter for all the money he ever made.
00:04:58And if you'd seen it, you wouldn't either.
00:05:01You better take it easy on this stuff.
00:05:03You're looking kind of peaked.
00:05:05No.
00:05:07I'm going to clean my otter lines out before morning.
00:05:11Lemon, I think that critter's a ghost.
00:05:14One of those otters you've been poaching.
00:05:16One of those otters you've been poaching all these years, coming back to haunt you.
00:05:22Well, if that's so, you fellers will see it right quick yourselves.
00:05:40Oh, come on.
00:05:42Morning, son.
00:05:46Morning.
00:06:08Look, it's not like I want to be mean or anything like that, Liz, baby.
00:06:13But I got a reputation around here.
00:06:15These folks have no respect for a man who lets his woman boss him.
00:06:19Well, next thing they know, they'll be laughing at me.
00:06:21And they'll be telling all the rest of the...
00:06:23Won't you please listen to me, Liz, baby?
00:06:27Liz?
00:06:45Stop looking at me like that.
00:06:47I'll look at you any way I want.
00:06:49You're my wife.
00:06:51Stop looking at me like that.
00:06:53I'll look at you any way I want.
00:06:55You're my wife.
00:07:15Don't touch me.
00:07:17Don't touch me.
00:07:19Who do you think you're talking to?
00:07:21Don't touch me. You're my wife.
00:07:23I'll touch you any time I feel like it.
00:07:32Where you going?
00:07:38Where you going?
00:07:41I'm going out.
00:07:43Maybe I'll be back.
00:07:45Maybe I'll be back.
00:07:47Maybe I won't.
00:07:49Liz, baby, I didn't mean nothing.
00:08:15I know there was a young one in that last trap.
00:08:17I had to kill it.
00:08:19Oh, poor thing.
00:08:21Told you you shouldn't have come along.
00:08:28Well, I can understand hunting an animal,
00:08:30but making it suffer in those traps, it's horrible.
00:08:34Well, these poachers know the swamp's like the back of their hands.
00:08:37But I'll catch one of them in the act some night
00:08:39and put him away for six months.
00:08:41But I'll catch one of them in the act some night
00:08:43and put him away for six months.
00:08:45In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied
00:08:47confiscating their trap lines.
00:08:49If you lose enough traps, it won't pay them to keep trying.
00:08:51Well, be careful, darling.
00:08:53These people aren't like other folks.
00:08:55You know, they'll try and get back at you.
00:08:57Let them try.
00:08:59Steve, you're a stranger here.
00:09:01They've lived this way for generations.
00:09:03One man isn't gonna change them overnight.
00:09:05You're a real worrywart.
00:09:07Oh, I'm serious, Steve.
00:09:09Okay, I'll be careful.
00:09:12You just stop worrying.
00:09:20Oh, Steve, I love you.
00:09:23I love you so much.
00:09:29What was that?
00:09:32I don't know. You get in the truck and lock it up.
00:09:39Aah!
00:09:43Aah!
00:09:45Aah!
00:09:52Aah!
00:10:09Listen, Benton.
00:10:12The coroner ruled that Sawyer died of a misadventure.
00:10:14Now, as far as this office is concerned,
00:10:16that's the end of it.
00:10:18But, Sheriff, I can't see why the...
00:10:20Look, if Lem was killed by anything human,
00:10:22I wouldn't need you to tell me my job.
00:10:24But I'm not about to go tromping through the swamp
00:10:26looking for an overgrown gator.
00:10:28Sawyer wasn't killed by an alligator.
00:10:30Is that so?
00:10:32Did you hear that, Morton?
00:10:34Game warden Benton says it wasn't a gator killed Lem.
00:10:36Well, then, what was it?
00:10:38You know so much. Go on, tell me.
00:10:40What killed him?
00:10:42Doc Grayson said the wounds were the kind of squid
00:10:44or a large octopus might cause.
00:10:46Oh, sure.
00:10:48And did Grayson explain how a saltwater creature
00:10:50happened to be 30 miles inland living in clear water?
00:10:53Stranger things have happened. I know...
00:10:55Look here, Benton.
00:10:57You work for the state.
00:10:59Now, why don't you keep your nose out of county business?
00:11:01Is that clear enough for you?
00:11:03Oh, go soak your fat head.
00:11:05What was that you said?
00:11:07I said go soak your fat head.
00:11:15Oh, that boy's looking for bad trouble.
00:11:18And he's sure going to get it.
00:11:20You can bet on that.
00:11:22So, you see, the octopi uses its suction discs
00:11:24to hold its prey.
00:11:26Now, in itself, the disc will not inflict a wound.
00:11:28Same is true of the squid.
00:11:30Now, both creatures have a parrot-like beak
00:11:32as their primary offensive and defensive weapon.
00:11:35Well, maybe the sheriff was right, Dad.
00:11:37I don't think so.
00:11:39I don't think so.
00:11:41I don't think so.
00:11:43I don't think so.
00:11:45I don't think so.
00:11:47I don't think so.
00:11:49I don't think so.
00:11:51Could be a freak
00:11:53or a malformed alligator.
00:11:55No.
00:11:57No, I'm afraid it wasn't.
00:11:59Well, where does that leave us, Doc?
00:12:01I wish I knew.
00:12:03You know, I'm beginning to think
00:12:05Lem was telling the truth in Walker's store.
00:12:08He did see something that night.
00:12:10Something that had intelligence enough
00:12:12to seek him out and destroy him later.
00:12:14But Sawyer claims to have killed the thing he saw,
00:12:17put a half a dozen rifle bullets into it.
00:12:19I've seen that old .44-40 used.
00:12:21Nothing could live after being hit with those slugs.
00:12:24Well, conceding the possibility
00:12:27of one such creature,
00:12:29we must also concede the possibility of others.
00:12:33Well, there's one sure way of finding out.
00:12:36Go in and search every backwater channel
00:12:38and wet spot in the swamp.
00:12:40If it's there, I'll find it.
00:12:42I'll find it.
00:13:12Sure is quiet around here.
00:13:42Did you hear something?
00:13:44Yes.
00:14:04Did you hear something?
00:14:06Yes.
00:14:12Well, whatever it was, it's not here anymore.
00:14:21Do you want some coffee?
00:14:23Yeah, thanks, hon.
00:14:27An army could hide in here and never be noticed.
00:14:30Well, one did.
00:14:32What?
00:14:34Seminoles under Osceola in the 1830s.
00:14:36It took the U.S. Army two years to round them up.
00:14:39I remember reading about Osceola in high school.
00:14:42Two years.
00:14:45We've only been at it two days, and I feel worn out.
00:14:48Well, we might as well keep on looking around.
00:15:09Well, I guess we may as well give up for the day.
00:15:12You won't get any argument from me.
00:15:39Water.
00:16:09I'm asking you for the last time, Dave Walker.
00:16:13You answer me, you dirty old man!
00:16:17I ain't dirty, Liz, baby.
00:16:19Liz, baby. Liz, honey.
00:16:23Can't you think of anything else to say, stupid?
00:16:25I gotta get this order over to Miss Chauvet.
00:16:27She's one of my better customers.
00:16:29Can't keep her waiting.
00:16:33I love you, Liz, baby.
00:16:36Get out.
00:16:39Get out, you fat pig!
00:16:57You, uh, have some trouble, Dave?
00:17:00You know women, Cal.
00:17:02Gotta get the hair down every now and then.
00:17:05You sure do know an awful lot about females.
00:17:08I gotta hand it to you.
00:17:10I can't stand here adjaunting, Cal.
00:17:13Gotta get this order over to Miss Chauvet.
00:17:16What's she letting the hair down about this time?
00:17:19Well, ever since Lim got herself killed,
00:17:23she wants me to sell out and move into town.
00:17:26Don't you let her bamboozle you, Dave.
00:17:29Keep her right here in the store.
00:17:32After all, the place wouldn't be the same without you around.
00:17:36Thanks, Cal.
00:17:38I better get going.
00:17:40See you when I get back.
00:17:42Yeah, I'll be around.
00:17:58Liz, baby.
00:18:02It's Cal, honey.
00:18:06Come on.
00:18:14You want something, Cal?
00:18:20I sure do, honey.
00:18:36Tired?
00:18:39Oh, I'm dead.
00:18:41Me too.
00:18:43Come on over here.
00:18:53It seems kind of silly knocking ourselves out
00:18:56looking for something we aren't even sure exists.
00:18:59What do you mean?
00:19:01You know, we've covered miles of back channel
00:19:04and haven't come across anything to support your father's theory
00:19:07of an alien creature.
00:19:09Not so much as a mud print we couldn't identify.
00:19:13I know.
00:19:16You're not going to give up, are you, Steve?
00:19:19Well, I can't waste any more time on a wild goose chase.
00:19:24With all respect to your father's ideas.
00:19:29Dad seems so sure.
00:19:34I don't know.
00:19:38I don't know.
00:19:40I don't know.
00:19:42I don't know.
00:19:44I don't know.
00:19:46I don't know.
00:19:48I don't know.
00:19:50I don't know.
00:19:52I don't know.
00:19:54I don't know.
00:19:56I don't know.
00:19:58I don't know.
00:20:00I don't know.
00:20:02I don't know.
00:20:12You're some woman, Liz.
00:20:15I reckon I've never met a woman like you before.
00:20:20You really like me, Cal?
00:20:24You're kidding.
00:20:26No, I didn't hurt you now, did I?
00:20:28You're so strong.
00:20:33I like a man who's strong.
00:20:38You sure picked a doozy, that man, Dave.
00:20:42I don't think he's got a muscle in him.
00:20:44Just a big piece of flab.
00:20:48Oh, honey, I didn't mean anything against you.
00:20:51Just I can't see a real woman like you tying in with a tub of lard like him.
00:21:00You wouldn't understand, Cal.
00:21:04You know, I've wanted to tell you.
00:21:09You just wouldn't understand.
00:21:11You try me.
00:21:14Come on, you tell old Cal all about it.
00:21:16You wouldn't think bad of me?
00:21:19Crazy.
00:21:22You tell him you killed your pa and your ma and your whole family.
00:21:26I'll fight to protect you.
00:21:28You tell him you killed your pa and your ma and your whole family.
00:21:32I'll fight to protect you.
00:21:58I'll fight to protect you.
00:22:18My first husband was a no-good bum.
00:22:22Couldn't keep a job more than a week.
00:22:24Used to get lushed up, come home beat up on me.
00:22:29He must have been a prize piggy.
00:22:32One night he tried to hold up a gas station.
00:22:36He was so drunk he couldn't even run.
00:22:39They caught him less than a mile away.
00:22:42He got sent up.
00:22:45I got a divorce.
00:22:49That's rough.
00:22:52After three years working in a lousy beanery,
00:22:55I was ready for the first guy to send a nice word to me.
00:22:59It was Dave.
00:23:02That's it.
00:23:04I wish it had been me.
00:23:06I'd know how to take care of a woman like you, Liz.
00:23:09Maybe it ain't too late, pal.
00:23:19You're wrong, woman.
00:23:21It's too late for the both of you.
00:23:25Get up.
00:23:28Come on, get up.
00:23:30Now, look, Dave, I know what you're thinking, but...
00:23:32I got double large shot in this here thing.
00:23:36You got two seconds or four, I'll pull the trigger.
00:23:43No point getting riled, Dave.
00:23:46It wasn't my fault.
00:23:48She's been pestering me for months to take her out.
00:23:50Sure, pal.
00:23:52I understand.
00:23:54Get her up so I can get a better look at the line, little tramp.
00:23:58Come on, get her up.
00:24:01Come on, get up.
00:24:03No, he'll kill me.
00:24:05Kill him.
00:24:07Your husband wants to take a look at you.
00:24:13You walk all the way, Dave?
00:24:15One more step and I'll blow your plumbing, too.
00:24:18Get over there.
00:24:21Now, Dave, it ain't as bad as you think.
00:24:23Shut up.
00:24:25Tramp.
00:24:27What are you gonna do?
00:24:29You'll find out soon enough.
00:24:32Dave, you put down that gun before I get mad and make you eat it.
00:24:36You go ahead and try it, Cal.
00:24:38Go right ahead and try it.
00:24:42Move. Move!
00:24:48Move!
00:25:18Come on.
00:25:20Come on.
00:25:22I can't go any further.
00:25:24Come on.
00:25:26No.
00:25:48Go on, run!
00:25:50Run till you drop!
00:26:18I can't go on anymore.
00:26:20You've got to let me go.
00:26:22Shut up.
00:26:24You can't run like a fool child.
00:26:26I can't go on.
00:26:28Cal.
00:26:30You can't run like a fool child.
00:26:32I can't go on.
00:26:34Cal.
00:27:00Come on.
00:27:02Keep going.
00:27:04Dave, please, you've got to listen.
00:27:06It wasn't my fault, honest.
00:27:08She kept playing up to me every time you turned your back.
00:27:11It wasn't my fault.
00:27:13You call yourself a man?
00:27:15You and your muscles.
00:27:18Shut up, you tramp.
00:27:20If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this fix.
00:27:22And my old friend Dave wouldn't be doing this thing to me.
00:27:25It's all your fault.
00:27:27Get going.
00:27:29But Dave, we've been friends a long time, Dave.
00:27:33You wouldn't kill an old friend, Dave.
00:27:36If you don't move, I'll kill you where you stand.
00:27:39But Dave.
00:27:43Be brave, big man.
00:27:51I didn't mean it, Dave.
00:27:53I didn't mean it.
00:27:55I didn't mean it.
00:27:59Dave, my kid is out here.
00:28:03Please, Dave.
00:28:05I'm sorry.
00:28:07I'm sorry.
00:28:13I'm sorry, honey.
00:28:15I'm sorry, Dave.
00:28:17I'm sorry.
00:28:19I didn't mean it.
00:28:21I'm sorry.
00:28:25You think you've learned enough to stay away from a woman, Carol?
00:28:29Anything, Dave.
00:28:31I'll move in here.
00:28:33I'll move out of the county.
00:28:35I'll do anything you say, Dave.
00:28:37Anything.
00:28:39All right.
00:28:41Come on out of there.
00:28:43Dave.
00:28:45Give me a hand.
00:28:49Oh, my God.
00:28:51Oh, my God.
00:28:53Behind you.
00:29:13Ain't nothing down here, sir.
00:29:17Well, I'm getting tired of this.
00:29:20Come on in, boys.
00:29:23Well, if there was any bodies out there, we'd have found them.
00:29:28I want some straight answers, Walter.
00:29:30And don't give me any more of that crud about monsters, either.
00:29:34Where'd you hide them after you killed them?
00:29:38I told you the truth, Sharon.
00:29:41I didn't kill them.
00:29:44I just wanted to scare them good.
00:29:48I loved my Liz.
00:29:50I loved my Liz.
00:29:53I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
00:29:56I loved her.
00:29:58Sure.
00:30:00You loved her.
00:30:02That's why you chased her through the swamp with a shotgun.
00:30:05Come on, Walker.
00:30:07Where'd you hide the bodies?
00:30:09Won't you believe me?
00:30:11It was some monsters.
00:30:13Take him out of here before I lose my temper.
00:30:16Walter.
00:30:18My Liz.
00:30:20My Liz.
00:30:24Can't it pay a reward if someone finds a body, Sheriff?
00:30:29Fifty dollars.
00:30:32Each?
00:30:34Yeah.
00:30:39You know, I never thought that of old Dave.
00:30:42Of course, everybody knows that Cal and Liz had a hankering for each other.
00:30:46Everybody but old Dave.
00:30:49Durn fools.
00:30:51Grappling out there in the middle of the water.
00:30:54If any of them bodies are still in there,
00:30:56you can bet some old bull gator's got them stuffed in his cave under the bank,
00:31:01letting them ripen up for a few days.
00:31:05Yeah, well,
00:31:07what we need now is some long cypress poles to go in there and probe them gator caves.
00:31:28I'm sorry, Doc. I can't do it.
00:31:31I'll have to do it myself.
00:31:33I won't have to arrest you, Doc,
00:31:34but I will if I find you near the preserve with any explosives.
00:31:37Steve.
00:31:38Sorry, Nan, that's the way it's got to be.
00:31:41Steve's right, Nan.
00:31:42It's his job to protect wildlife.
00:31:44What about human life?
00:31:47Three people have been killed in that game preserve.
00:31:49Doesn't that mean anything to you?
00:31:51Nan, try to understand.
00:31:53If I could be sure something in the swamp was responsible for those deaths,
00:31:56I wouldn't hesitate a minute.
00:31:58We've been together the last three days.
00:32:00We didn't see a trace of anything unusual.
00:32:02Not so much as a suggestion of any form of life unknown to us.
00:32:06Steve, shot and killed those people.
00:32:09All right, I'll admit Sawyer's death left a lot of questions unanswered.
00:32:13But you can bet your bottom dollar the other two died from Dave Walker's shotgun.
00:32:17Do you really believe that?
00:32:19Figure it out, Nan.
00:32:20Walker admitted chasing his wife and cow into the swamps after he found them together.
00:32:24He shot them and he tried to place the blame on Sawyer's DTs.
00:32:28If Sawyer had told of seeing a purple giraffe with polka dot tails,
00:32:32Walker would have claimed they did it.
00:32:34There's one argument against that, Steve.
00:32:36Dave Walker wasn't the kind of a man to hang himself,
00:32:39not even with two murder charges against him.
00:32:41I talked with Dave less than an hour before he killed himself.
00:32:44That man was in a state of shock.
00:32:46I've seen frightened men before, terrified men.
00:32:49But I've never seen anything to compare with the horror and the fear in Walker's eyes.
00:32:54Well, he realized what he'd done and he killed two people, one his wife.
00:32:58Look, Doc, Nan and I were all over that swamp.
00:33:01Why didn't these monsters attack us?
00:33:03I've been thinking about that.
00:33:05They're probably night creatures.
00:33:07They can't stand the light and they stay down near the bottom during the day.
00:33:10A small charge would stun them, bring them to the surface.
00:33:14Can't buy, Doc.
00:33:16You're pig-headed, Steve Benton.
00:33:19Stubborn and pig-headed.
00:33:21You just don't understand, do you?
00:33:23No.
00:33:31Good night, Doc.
00:33:53Right over there in them reeds.
00:34:23Hello.
00:34:25Just can't figure old Dave out.
00:34:28If he was caught like Cal, what would you do?
00:34:31I hadn't thought of that.
00:34:35Right over there in them reeds is where that big one used to be.
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:41Caught some good catfish in that hole.
00:34:53Boy, this is sure a hot one.
00:35:01Right on seasonable.
00:35:05Sure is funny.
00:35:07Huh?
00:35:09Don't you notice anything?
00:35:11About what?
00:35:12We've been prodding around here all morning.
00:35:14What?
00:35:15We've been prodding around here all morning.
00:35:17What?
00:35:18We've been prodding around here all morning.
00:35:19What?
00:35:20We've been prodding around here all morning.
00:35:23We've been prodding around here all morning.
00:35:25Ain't run across a single gator.
00:35:29By rights, this fool should be crawling with them.
00:35:33Sure funny.
00:35:35Yeah, that is funny.
00:35:37I don't like the looks of things.
00:35:39Let's call it a day.
00:35:41Well, now, wait a minute.
00:35:42We ain't pulled the gator holes around the bend yet.
00:35:44You do what you want to do, boy.
00:35:46Just get me on dry land, and right quick.
00:35:49All right.
00:35:50Now, I ain't no use getting all head up.
00:35:52You better quit drinking that moonshine.
00:35:54Yeah.
00:35:57That's why you're so wrinkly and ugly.
00:36:03We're on our way out here.
00:36:05Wild goose chasing.
00:36:07Wild goose chasing.
00:36:37Wild goose chasing.
00:37:04Wild goose chasing.
00:37:07Wild goose chasing.
00:37:24Oh!
00:37:25Ah!
00:37:26Ah!
00:37:27Ah!
00:37:28Ah!
00:37:37Ah!
00:37:38Ah!
00:37:39Ah!
00:37:40Ah!
00:37:41Ah!
00:37:42Ah!
00:37:43Ah!
00:37:44Ah!
00:37:45Ah!
00:37:46Ah!
00:37:47Ah!
00:37:48Ah!
00:37:49Ah!
00:37:50Ah!
00:37:51Ah!
00:37:52Ah!
00:37:53Ah!
00:37:54Ah!
00:37:55Ah!
00:37:56We've been calling, but there's been no answer.
00:37:59Oh, I just got back.
00:38:00What seems to be the trouble?
00:38:01Haven't you heard?
00:38:03Old Sam Peters and Porky Reed have disappeared.
00:38:06Come on inside.
00:38:13You know, Covis,
00:38:15nothing would please him more than to have all the swamp people disappear.
00:38:19Swamp trash, he calls them.
00:38:21I know.
00:38:22They have about as much regard for him as he has for them.
00:38:26When they're worried enough to go to him,
00:38:28you know something's wrong.
00:38:30Mrs. Reed said the men went searching for Cal and Mrs. Walker's bodies
00:38:34and they never returned.
00:38:35Covis says he'll get up a search party if they don't show up in a couple of days.
00:38:41Doc, you and Nan take your car and get as many volunteers as you can.
00:38:45Tell them to meet me at the old wagon road.
00:38:47I'll call Doke Evans and have him bring his dogs.
00:38:51Either they're lost or they've had an accident.
00:38:54I hope to heaven you're right.
00:40:05Dog barking
00:40:21Well, they picked up the scent anyway.
00:40:24Dad, do you think they'll find them?
00:40:27Only the good Lord can answer that.
00:40:30Dog barking
00:40:35Dog barking
00:40:47Well, at least we know they got this far.
00:40:50All right, let's split up into two parties and circle the lake.
00:40:53Keep your eyes open.
00:40:54Let's move out.
00:41:01Dog barking
00:41:05Dog barking
00:41:09Dog barking
00:41:17Dog barking
00:41:19It's all clear over here.
00:41:46Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
00:42:16Alright, let's keep moving.
00:42:47Well, we can't do anything more tonight. Might as well start back.
00:42:53I reckon ain't no use hurrying now, Mr. Benton.
00:42:56If Reed and old Sam was alive, they'd have let us know with a holler or something.
00:43:01Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
00:43:03You fellas notice anything about this lake? I mean the gators.
00:43:07What about them?
00:43:08They ain't. A piece of water this size usually has maybe 50, 60 biggins around.
00:43:13A whole lot of little ones.
00:43:15It's real unnatural.
00:43:17Well, maybe our torches scared them away.
00:43:19Nothing scares gators.
00:43:21Sure nothing. Animal or human.
00:43:26Well, we might as well get out of here.
00:43:38You got something in mind, Steve?
00:43:42I keep thinking what Evans said about the gators.
00:43:45Nothing scares them. Animal or human.
00:43:48And yet something made them leave. Maybe a mineral contamination.
00:43:53Guess I better run some water samples.
00:43:55Come on, you two. Drink your coffee.
00:43:59And supposing there is no contamination?
00:44:02Then I'll send over to Eastport for a diving rig and go down to look for this monster of yours.
00:44:07No, Steve. Don't even joke like that.
00:44:10I'm not joking, man. I had some training with an aqualung while I was in the Navy.
00:44:14But Steve...
00:44:15Look, there are two bodies we know for sure down there. Maybe four.
00:44:18They've got to be brought up.
00:44:20Wait a minute. There are no alligators in that part of the swamp, right?
00:44:24So?
00:44:25No sign of any fish or snakes?
00:44:27No.
00:44:29What are you getting at, Doc?
00:44:31Well, there goes your argument about setting off a dynamite charge underwater.
00:44:35It'll bring the bodies to the surface.
00:44:37Get it out of your mind, Doc. I'm not using any explosives as long as there's another way.
00:44:41Why must you be such a...
00:44:43A stubborn pig-head?
00:44:44Exactly.
00:44:45I'll tell you why.
00:44:47Number one, there's bound to be some aquarium life in that section, even if the bigger forms have abandoned it.
00:44:53Explosion underwater would destroy every living thing and wreck what nature took years to build up.
00:44:58Number two, I'm paid to prevent the useless slaughter of wildlife.
00:45:03Number three, I'd have to get authorization.
00:45:05And to get that authorization, I'd have to come up with a heck of a good reason.
00:45:10Satisfied?
00:45:13Finish up, Dad. I want to go home.
00:45:16Steve, how long will it take to get this diving equipment from East Park?
00:45:21A couple of days. Why?
00:45:24Oh, nothing.
00:45:29Take care of yourself, Steve.
00:45:38Well, here's hoping.
00:45:40Dad, can't you throw the dynamite in from here?
00:45:44No, I want to get it out into the middle, in the deepest part.
00:45:53Okay.
00:46:21Oh, oh, oh!
00:46:51Oh, oh, oh!
00:47:13It should go any minute.
00:47:43I just can't figure it out.
00:48:12Walker's wife, why didn't her body come to the surface?
00:48:15I don't know.
00:48:19I think I better walk over to the coroner's office.
00:48:22What's the matter, Mr. Benton?
00:48:25You feel awkward about arresting my father in his own home?
00:48:28I warned him I'd arrest him if he used dynamite.
00:48:31That's nice of you.
00:48:34Well, the autopsy should be over by now.
00:48:42Oh, Steve, I thought you'd be here.
00:48:46I don't like to have to do this, doctor.
00:48:49Do we have time for a cup of coffee first?
00:48:51Sure.
00:48:53Do you mind, honey?
00:48:54No, I'll make some sandwiches.
00:49:07One thing is certain for all the good it'll do now.
00:49:11Dave Walker didn't shoot Cal.
00:49:15I'd just come from the autopsies.
00:49:18Covis tried to keep me out.
00:49:20I told him I'd raise the stink they'd smell all the way to the capital if he did.
00:49:24Well, what killed them, Doc?
00:49:26Not drowning.
00:49:28And Cal wasn't shot either.
00:49:31Every drop of blood was drained out of their bodies.
00:49:35They had wounds on their throats, suction wounds, like a gigantic leech might make.
00:49:42And there's something even more incredible.
00:49:45Now, Cal was supposed to have been killed several days ago.
00:49:48Sam and Reed have been missing a matter of 48 hours.
00:49:52All three of them, as far as we know, were in that lake a minimum of two days.
00:49:57Now, I'd stake my reputation as a doctor that Cal hadn't been dead more than two or three hours when we found him.
00:50:03And the other two, less than that.
00:50:05First stage rigor mortis started in during the autopsy.
00:50:08But how could that be, Doc? It's impossible.
00:50:11The coroner will confirm it.
00:50:14Whatever killed him is still in that lake.
00:50:16And it's going to take more than dynamite to get it out.
00:50:21A concussion from those charges would have killed a full-grown whale.
00:50:27That explains how Cal and the others lived after they were supposed to be drowned.
00:50:30What do you mean?
00:50:32Well, this whole region is riddled by caves and caverns cut out by the ocean thousands of years ago.
00:50:38If there are caves above the water, then there must be caves under the water.
00:50:41Go on.
00:50:44Mike and I had a chance to fool around with some frogman equipment captured from the Italian Navy.
00:50:49We sort of prowled through a sunken transport off Salerno.
00:50:54When the ship went down, it trapped some air inside the hull.
00:50:58We'd go down, come up inside the officer's lounge, take off her face mask,
00:51:01and sort of sample some of the bottles floating around.
00:51:05We'd drive the guys crazy trying to figure out how we were getting the stuff.
00:51:09You mean you think that there's an air pocket or a cave underneath the lake?
00:51:13Right. Gotta be. How else could those people have lived down there?
00:51:16Not only that, it explains how whatever it is down there lived through the concussions.
00:51:20Steve.
00:51:23Liz Walker.
00:51:26She might still be down there.
00:51:29Alive.
00:51:47No. No. No!
00:51:56No!
00:52:27Comfortable?
00:52:30Yeah.
00:52:32You sure you don't want me to go down for you, Mike?
00:52:34You haven't had one of these things on for a long time,
00:52:36while me, every other day I've been playing fish.
00:52:40Not this time, Mike.
00:52:43If you ask me, they ought to have their heads examined.
00:52:46Giant leeches.
00:52:49I'm willing to bet a month's pay they don't come up with nothing more than excuses.
00:52:53He's crazy.
00:52:55The doc and his brat, too.
00:52:58Just way like it on the phone of the Capitol.
00:53:01I'll guarantee somebody will wish they'd kept their nose out of other people's business.
00:53:05I'll guarantee that.
00:53:15Steve.
00:53:18Be careful, please.
00:53:20Don't worry, Mike will be ready if anything goes wrong.
00:53:22Don't worry about Steve.
00:53:23Now, if you were going after Barracuda, you might have a tiny bit to worry about.
00:53:27Ready, Mike?
00:53:53Oh, my God.
00:54:15No, no, please stay away.
00:54:19Please.
00:54:22Not exactly inviting, is it?
00:54:25That sure isn't.
00:54:27Overstudy, Mike.
00:54:30It'll stop anything up to a tiger shark.
00:54:33But you gotta hit.
00:54:34And this is don't count.
00:54:36Now, if anything goes wrong, just yank on the line and I'll be down in a hurry.
00:54:41It'll stop anything up to a tiger shark.
00:54:44But you gotta hit.
00:54:45And this is don't count.
00:54:47Now, if anything goes wrong, just yank on the line and I'll be down in a hurry.
00:55:10Oh, my God.
00:55:40Oh, my God.
00:56:10Oh, my God.
00:56:29You sure you don't want me to go down and finish it off for you, Steve?
00:56:32No, thanks, Mike.
00:56:33I think I hurt her pretty bad.
00:56:36Careful now.
00:56:37Anything that hurts ten times is dangerous.
00:56:44He's wounded it.
00:56:45He's gonna finish it off.
00:56:48Does he have to go under again?
00:56:51He's got to make sure, honey.
00:56:54Where could it have come from?
00:56:56I wish I knew.
00:56:58We'll have to make some tests.
00:57:00Maybe the proximity of Cape Canaveral's got something to do with it.
00:57:03The rocket station?
00:57:05Well, they use atomic energy in the first stages of launching.
00:57:08Not all of them have been successful.
00:57:11You think that if some animal life was close by, not close enough to be killed,
00:57:14but close enough to feel the effects of a radioactive energy, that some...
00:57:18A mutation.
00:57:19A type of gigantism of some common animal.
00:57:24Whatever it is, I hope he's able to bring it up.
00:57:36Oh!
00:57:46Oh!
00:57:48Oh!
00:58:05Oh!
00:58:27That can't be Liz.
00:58:31What could have done that?
00:58:34Look at her face.
00:59:00Oh!
00:59:30Oh!
01:00:01What was that?
01:00:03Look at that thing.
01:00:05I've been around here for years.
01:00:07I never saw nothing like that before.
01:00:30Oh!
01:01:01Oh!
01:01:15There was no sign of them this time.
01:01:17They must be licking their wounds.
01:01:20You sure you used enough stuff to do the job, Mike?
01:01:22I used 106 to 40 percent.
01:01:24Ought to blow the bottom right out.
01:01:26All right, let her go.
01:01:28I've done enough of your dirty work.
01:01:30Help yourself.
01:01:58Oh!
01:02:28Oh!
