00:00:03Those 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.
00:00:54THE END
00:01:22THE END
00:01:47It's a lot of quiet out there.
00:01:52Almost smell it, can't you?
00:01:54No, but I can feel it.
00:01:56The 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 us?
00:02:12My boy, that puts our port right in the middle of it.
00:02:19There's a cove on the lee side, though.
00:02:20We'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?
00:02:32If 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.
00:02:41These mills of yours keep running.
00:02:44Look, automatic pilots can't play Dixieland jazz on them engines like I can.
00:02:58Hey, Ruff. Ruff, come here.
00:03:03Take a look.
00:03:05There she is, dead ahead.
00:03:12Man, that show do look good.
00:03:16A man named Craggers owns this island, doesn't he?
00:03:18That's the name on the crate, Dr. Milo Craggers.
00:03:21We'll unload tomorrow.
00:03:22I 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?
00:03:28That's right.
00:03:29That sea won't make up in that cove.
00:03:30That wind will have her whipping around like a kite.
00:03:34Just look forward and break out the heavy weather hook.
00:03:36The track will make sure it's free to ride.
00:03:37I'll mouse the shack.
00:03:38Good.
00:03:45Good.
00:03:55THE END
00:04:19Oh, 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.
00:04:58I'm Dr. Craig.
00:05:00Thorne Sherman. I have your supplies aboard.
00:05:03That's good. Nothing wrong with Captain Ferguson, I hope.
00:05:06Well, I wouldn't know.
00:05:08I just bought his run.
00:05:10Oh, I see.
00:05:11Were you able to fill our order?
00:05:13Everything on the list. Here's the manifest.
00:05:16Missing 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.
00:05:24Anne?
00:05:26Captain Sherman, this is my daughter, Anne Craig.
00:05:31Oh, so you're the passenger?
00:05:33That's right, Captain.
00:05:35Oh, it's going to be nice having you aboard.
00:05:37I'm getting a little tired looking at Griswold.
00:05:40But we're, uh, we're not leaving today.
00:05:46In fact, we're not even unloading.
00:05:51That load will cut the roll in half.
00:05:55You 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, Rook, you want to shake the kinks out?
00:06:11Limber up a little?
00:06:12Not me, Captain Blight.
00:06:14You go right ahead and stretch your legs.
00:06:15That ship's going to be bugging like a bug in Bronx for long.
00:06:18Besides, I got some work left to do.
00:06:21If you do come ashore, wear a gun.
00:06:24Got you, Captain.
00:06:55I told you about the hurricane.
00:06:56You act like you didn't know anything about it.
00:06:59What's the matter?
00:07:00You'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. Farrell.
00:07:12Jerry Farrell.
00:07:21Father, perhaps the captain would enjoy a drink.
00:07:24Well, of course.
00:07:26Will you join us in a cocktail?
00:07:28Well, I've never been known to turn down a drink yet.
00:07:31I'll be glad to accept.
00:07:32Fine.
00:07:34In that case, we'll have martinis.
00:07:36Mario.
00:07:37Si, senor.
00:07:38Mix them, please.
00:07:44Right this way, Captain.
00:07:45Come in.
00:08:06You have everything here you need?
00:08:09We are self-sufficient here.
00:08:11We have cows for fresh milk, chickens for fresh eggs.
00:08:15We even have sadden horses.
00:08:17Sort of a world all your own.
00:08:19That's exactly what I've tried to create.
00:08:21Well, they eat 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.
00:08:30I think I'll change.
00:08:33I'll change.
00:08:36I'll change.
00:08:38She'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.
00:08:59Bradford.
00:09:00Bradford.
00:09:03Bradford, would you please step over here?
00:09:04I'd like you to meet someone.
00:09:06Just a second, Doctor.
00:09:09Go on for hours.
00:09:11Dr. Bain.
00:09:14There's no need to shout, Doctor.
00:09:15I'm right here.
00:09:16I'd like you to meet Captain Thorne Sherman.
00:09:19This is my other assistant, Bradford Bain.
00:09:21How do you do?
00:09:23Two new litters since lunch, Doctor.
00:09:25Both support GT-116.
00:09:27That's good, but...
00:09:28We can breed them to the 205 group in about three weeks.
00:09:31But I'd prefer to wait and expose about half of them to the Hoskins factor first.
00:09:37If you agree.
00:09:40Good idea.
00:09:42Do you know there's a hurricane coming?
00:09:45Very good.
00:09:46Well, I don't suppose there's much we can do about that.
00:09:51Glad to meet you.
00:09:53Shervin, wasn't he?
00:10:00You have to excuse Bradford.
00:10:02Anything that does not concern his project does not get through to him.
00:10:06Brilliant mind.
00:10:08He would start it if someone didn't remind him to eat.
00:10:10Must be very interesting work.
00:10:11What's his field?
00:10:13Biology.
00:10:14He specializes in genetics.
00:10:15Heredity.
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.
00:10:30Generally, 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.
00:10:57If we were half as big as we are now, we could live twice as long in our natural resources.
00:11:03Father, may I speak with you a moment?
00:11:05Will you please excuse us, Captain?
00:11:08Well, providing you drop the Captain, I prefer to throw him.
00:11:15No.
00:11:20No.
00:11:27Tell me something, Doctor.
00:11:29Has a hurricane ever hit this island before that you know of?
00:11:32I 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.
00:11:41Well, this one's building up very fast.
00:11:43Pressure 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 on the roof.
00:11:54And if you're fresh and hands drink, I'll go and check them.
00:11:57I'd be happy to.
00:11:59Oh, my heavens, you're right today.
00:12:02Why?
00:12:02Are rations getting short?
00:12:04No, it's more than that.
00:12:05Much more.
00:12:06We'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.
00:12:16Well, 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.
00:12:23We'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.
00:12:41Oh, I see.
00:12:45If you're not worried about your ship, you're welcome.
00:12:48I'll take a rain check on that dinner, if you wish.
00:12:51Father, I've asked Thorne to stay.
00:12:56Progress, Doctor.
00:12:59This 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.
00:13:15Not the breakthrough, but it certainly sets our course.
00:13:20Ratfoot, suspend series 52 through, uh, 96.
00:13:26And we'll concentrate on the rest.
00:13:27What is that?
00:13:28It's a Sorex Soricidine.
00:13:31Looks like a small rat.
00:13:34Smells like a skunk.
00:13:36They have musklines in their knees.
00:13:39These little fellows are our subjects.
00:13:41They have a birth cycle of 10 to 14 days.
00:13:45And using them, we can establish traits.
00:13:47We can trace the progressions through a number of generations over a short period of time.
00:13:52Well, how big do they get?
00:13:56That's an adult.
00:14:00See, the muscle is longer and thicker than the rats.
00:14:03It 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.
00:14:15Uh, he's just been fed.
00:14:18He'll be all right for another eight hours.
00:14:23A shutter blew open.
00:14:25Bradford.
00:14:26I got it, senor.
00:14:29Don't let that scare you.
00:14:31It's going to get worse.
00:14:33Storms always flattened her, ever since she was a child.
00:14:46They're not climbers.
00:14:48They're digging animals.
00:14:50A lot like a mole.
00:14:52They feed only at night unless they're starving.
00:14:55And 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, the 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 bone weight in food every 24 hours or starve.
00:15:24Radford.
00:15:25Radford.
00:15:26Radford.
00:15:26Would you please take this?
00:15:35Some call them bone eaters.
00:15:38When the flesh is gone, they'll eat the bones for marrow.
00:15:40All they'll leave are teeth, horns, hooves, hooves.
00:15:44I could use another martini, do you mind?
00:15:47Of course, my dear.
00:15:48I'll get you one.
00:16:01Mario?
00:16:03Mario?
00:16:04Mario?
00:16:05Mario?
00:16:06Mario?
00:16:07Mario?
00:16:08Mario, show you the bathroom.
00:16:09He'll freshen up a bit.
00:16:10Lleve al señor al baño.
00:16:13Sí, señor. Sígame, por favor.
00:16:19Aquí, señor.
00:16:54¿Tienes un problema, también? ¿Qué pasa?
00:16:57Nada. Nada, señor. Pero yo voy a vivir en el chip mañana.
00:17:02Bueno, creo que todo depende de la venta y el mar, ¿verdad?
00:17:06Sí. Sí, señor.
00:17:10No. No.
00:17:12Ah, yo me jodí.
00:17:15I feel the point. I see.
00:17:17Well, I'm glad to hear that.
00:17:19Now, 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.
00:17:27Okay, señor.
00:18:00I know, but I'm not saying that you created them, Jerry.
00:18:04I am saying that because of your drunken stupidity in leaving the cage door open, you created the horrible situation
00:18:11that now exists.
00:18:12Look, Ann, this is a mistake any one of us might have made.
00:18:16I'm getting a little sick of being called an irresponsible drunk.
00:18:20Now, believe me, I am.
00:18:27Excuse me.
00:18:39Care for a cigarette?
00:18:41Yes.
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 here.
00:18:48Please excuse me.
00:18:49But it's been like everything in the moment we had 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?
00:18:57I don't know if I'm here.
00:18:59We've discussed it many times, but he's adamant.
00:19:03I'm sure Jerry has a lot to do with his decision.
00:19:08He tried to convince me that the crisis will only last for a few...
00:19:18Well, this is certainly a cozy little scene.
00:19:23Might even be called intimate.
00:19:24Boy meets girl and all...
00:19:26Stop it, Jerry.
00:19:26That 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.
00:19:51And this is how she fits this cool thing.
00:19:53Why did you do it?
00:20:04And this is creating something new.
00:20:10Fuck you!
00:20:19Oh, my God.
00:20:44Help! Help!
00:20:46Stop the car!
00:20:47Somebody help!
00:20:49Help! Stop 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.
00:21:12All 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. I'll get him.
00:21:36Captain.
00:21:36Time for dinner.
00:21:43Come.
00:21:44Come.
00:21:46Somebody help.
00:21:49Come on.
00:21:53Help.
00:21:53Somebody help.
00:21:56Help.
00:22:00Captain.
00:22:01Help.
00:22:03Captain.
00:22:03Let's go!
00:22:35Well, I'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 knock the...
00:22:41I don't know if any tree on this side of the house will fall away from it, so just relax.
00:22:45But I think I'd better go back aboard.
00:22:47I don't think I'm not grateful for your hospitality. I am.
00:22:50I'll see you tomorrow.
00:22:52Thorne, your ship is safe.
00:22:54Please, stay here with me.
00:22:58Why? You scared or lonesome?
00:23:00Both.
00:23:02I'll take a rain check on it.
00:23:04Thorne, you can't leave.
00:23:06No one opens that gate after dark.
00:23:10Well, who's going to stop me? You?
00:23:13Well, this.
00:23:14No 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.
00:23:33Do you believe in fairy tales?
00:23:36Well, I'm a little old for that sort of thing, but what do you have in mind?
00:23:40Well, I'll tell you about one.
00:23:42A true fairy tale.
00:23:44And you're right in the middle of it.
00:23:46Oh?
00:23:46Have you ever heard of a shrew?
00:23:49As in taming of the...
00:23:51No, the animal.
00:23:52Bradford called them swords, sericity, when he showed you one.
00:23:55Oh, then shrew 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.
00:24:02They'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.
00:24:09I know what your father told me, but what's that got to do with me opening that gate?
00:24:16There are two or three hundred giant shrews out there.
00:24:21Monsters weighing between 50 and 100 pounds.
00:24:2650 to 100?
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 stop you.
00:24:53Oh, it was very effective.
00:24:54But all you had to do was tell me about them.
00:24:57Well, I hoped I wouldn't have to.
00:24:59But you changed everything when you started to leave.
00:25:02And I had to stop you some way.
00:25:06You say there's two or three hundred out there?
00:25:09Ann!
00:25:15That's right, Captain Thorne.
00:25:17And if you'd stuck with your rowboat and played captain instead of trying to play detective,
00:25:21you wouldn't have to worry about how many are out there, would you?
00:25:24That's enough, Jerry.
00:25:31What's wrong, Ann?
00:25:33Thorne decided to leave.
00:25:35To dissuade him, I started to tell him about their shoes.
00:25:39You might as well know the whole story.
00:25:41It's half of it.
00:25:47I guess we're all a little jumpy, Captain.
00:25:49Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:25:53Six months ago, we managed to isolate the pack to control in size.
00:25:58Two leaders were born.
00:26:00Six individuals we kept to study.
00:26:03They were about the size of buckshot at first.
00:26:07But the rate of growth was abnormal.
00:26:11They continued to grow.
00:26:14They were mutants.
00:26:16But they inherited all the negative characteristics of their breed.
00:26:21Somehow, they managed to escape.
00:26:27But a 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.
00:26:46Well, they're starving.
00:26:49But the fact that two of them charged Ann and Jerry at the gate last evening
00:26:55indicates that the available food on the island is nearing the patient.
00:27:03Then what, Doctor?
00:27:05They will exterminate each other.
00:27:07It'll take a couple days.
00:27:09What do we do during that time?
00:27:11Stay 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!
00:27:27Si, senor!
00:27:28There'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.
00:27:36All right, I will.
00:27:37Where's the generator?
00:27:38Outside.
00:27:39Can't get at it at night.
00:27:43Here, 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.
00:28:09Wanting 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.
00:28:31That 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've heard something terrible was going to happen.
00:28:47Why, you still feel the same way about it?
00:28:48Not as much.
00:28:50Not since you're here.
00:28:51I know everything.
00:29:07I love an open fire, don't you?
00:29:10Mm-hmm.
00:29:14The wind has a lonesome sound, doesn't it?
00:29:19Sure does.
00:29:21Back 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?
00:29:34You seem so disinterested in everything.
00:29:38Aren't you the least bit curious?
00:29:40Don't you wonder about the unusual things around here?
00:29:45The guns, the fence, the shattered windows.
00:29:50My accent, anything?
00:29:52I'll tell you something.
00:29:53I'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 intends me or not.
00:30:13Thorne, no!
00:30:15Father!
00:30:16Father!
00:30:18Out there!
00:30:25I don't think he was going out, Jerry.
00:30:27I couldn't take a chance.
00:30:28He's fool enough to.
00:30:29Don't be stupid.
00:30:31I know intentions of going out there, opening that gate.
00:30:34Now somebody needed it.
00:30:35Did you hear it, Doctor?
00:30:37It sounded like a human voice.
00:30:39I was thinking of a rook.
00:30:40Because the livestock, the shrews got into the barn.
00:30:55What was it, Father?
00:30:57The livestock.
00:31:00Did Mario forget to bar those doors?
00:31:03No.
00:31:04I put them in the barn myself.
00:31:07They couldn't get through the wood doors.
00:31:10They dug through the dirt floor.
00:31:13Let me ask you something, Doctor.
00:31:15How could you expose all our lives, yourself included,
00:31:17with 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.
00:31:41It's not a problem for the government or military.
00:31:45The world is no danger.
00:31:49His species does not swim.
00:31:52And as far as the shrews are concerned,
00:31:54this island is their world.
00:31:57Well, very soon,
00:31:59right here on this island,
00:32:01there's 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
00:32:15when they run out of food
00:32:16and 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.
00:32:25And that sauce could have been depleted
00:32:2718 or 20 hours ago.
00:32:30And that's why they went after the livestock.
00:32:34There's still some food on this island
00:32:35before they reach the crisis.
00:32:37Where?
00:32:42No worry about them digging in here.
00:32:45The floors are tile.
00:32:47The walls aren't dark here.
00:32:48They're adobe.
00:32:50Our safest bet would be on that boat.
00:32:53You may be right.
00:32:55We can reach your boat in daylight.
00:32:58The shrews will gorge themselves on livestock.
00:33:01Don't you keep them lethargy for several hours?
00:33:03There's no sense looking at the dark side.
00:33:06And there's no sense minimizing a serious situation.
00:33:10It leaves you completely unprepared to cope with it.
00:33:14Well, we certainly can't make it tonight.
00:33:16That's out of the question.
00:33:17Maybe tomorrow.
00:33:21Hi, Evan.
00:33:22We'll get some sleep tonight.
00:33:23But 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.
00:33:32Make 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 this fire.
00:33:41I feel safer.
00:33:42I couldn't stand it in that room alone.
00:33:45All right.
00:33:46As you wish.
00:33:48But try to get some sleep.
00:33:50Mm-hmm.
00:34:25Mm-hmm.
00:34:29Mr. Farrell, here is Mario.
00:34:31You 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.
00:34:42You kind of startled me.
00:34:45Sit down.
00:34:47Here.
00:34:49Have a drink.
00:34:50It'll help you to relax.
00:34:51Gracias, señor.
00:34:53Sit down.
00:34:56Mr. Wilde.
00:34:59You just checked every room in the house, didn't you?
00:35:02See?
00:35:04Fine.
00:35:06You're a good man, Mario.
00:35:09A man that can be trusted.
00:35:19You know what I've been thinking about, Mario?
00:35:24Ann and that captain?
00:35:28You and me.
00:35:32Imagine an intelligent girl like her going for a common sea trap like him.
00:35:43I know why.
00:35:45You do, too.
00:35:47In case anything goes wrong, she's looking out for her own hide.
00:35:53That's why I keep thinking about you and me.
00:35:57Anything goes wrong,
00:36:01we're going to outlast them all.
00:36:17I'm going to trust you
00:36:20to take my turn of patrolling the house.
00:36:25But when you finish,
00:36:28don'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.
00:36:42Okay.
00:36:44Okay.
00:36:45Okay.
00:36:55Come back here.
00:37:47Oh, Mario, come on in.
00:37:48What is it?
00:37:52A shrew in a cellar?
00:37:53Si.
00:37:54I 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 off.
00:38:01He went down there.
00:38:02Why should he go down there?
00:38:04The food for the little ratones.
00:38:06I pull out to enfrost.
00:38:07They love it.
00:38:08Did you tell Jerry?
00:38:09No, senor.
00:38:10Here is your turn next.
00:38:12Here is una luz.
00:38:13We kill him, no?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:32Ann.
00:38:34Ann, wake up.
00:38:35A shrew got in.
00:38:36It's all right.
00:38:37He's down in the cellar.
00:38:39Now, we're going down after him.
00:38:41But I don't want you to let anybody open that door until I tell you to him.
00:38:44You understand?
00:38:45Good girl.
00:38:47It's all right.
00:39:04Okay.
00:39:06.
00:39:15.
00:39:16.
00:39:40Take that side.
00:40:09I see where he was.
00:40:15I do not see where he is.
00:40:18I will be careful.
00:40:33And he also got busy.
00:41:01You all right down there?
00:41:04Doctor, get down here, quick.
00:41:17What do you want?
00:41:18Come on, Mario.
00:41:37He's dead.
00:41:39Dead?
00:41:45I got this on him right away. He couldn't have bled to death.
00:41:52Might as well let go of it.
00:41:54Won't do him any good now.
00:41:58What could have killed him?
00:42:02I'm not certain.
00:42:04Till the autopsy.
00:42:07Hemotoxic syndrome.
00:42:09I'm afraid so.
00:42:11We'll know after pathology.
00:42:14Doctor, that's not the same animal you showed me.
00:42:17That's a monster.
00:42:19As I said, they are mutants.
00:42:24In 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.
00:42:40Would you please give me a hand that, Mario?
00:42:43Bradford, bring up the animal.
00:43:04Extremely high poison content in the shrew's saliva.
00:43:08Now compare it with this.
00:43:11Careful count isn't necessary.
00:43:14Any indication of the same poison,
00:43:16Mario's blood will give you the answer.
00:43:19Yes, you're right.
00:43:22Look, Ann.
00:43:27Rooting about it's not going to do any good.
00:43:30Now, why don't you try to think of something else?
00:43:33Tell me, what do you do around here?
00:43:35Are you a scientist?
00:43:38I'm a zoologist.
00:43:39Oh.
00:43:40That's the study of animal life, isn't it?
00:43:43Well, do you specialize?
00:43:44What do you specialize in?
00:43:46A guide.
00:43:49Well, I had a hand in these two.
00:43:51And I'm partly to blame.
00:44:01That this ends it.
00:44:03We ever get off these islands,
00:44:05I'll never have anything to do with it again.
00:44:08What will you do?
00:44:10Live normally.
00:44:12Like normal women do.
00:44:14You see, it seems a little dull after the life I've been living.
00:44:19It's rather dull and alive than excited and...
00:44:22I'll take a dull, alive woman every time.
00:44:37Say, Thorne.
00:44:40The autopsy has proved what we suspected.
00:44:45Several weeks ago, I concocted the most virulent poison I could with the materials I had at hand.
00:44:52So we put it out as bait.
00:44:56Mario was killed by poison.
00:44:59Doctor, I wonder if you thought the 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, I always speak from the clinical point of view.
00:45:17Well, don't you have something to counteract that poison?
00:45:21Once Mario was bitten, I'm afraid there's nothing anyone could have done.
00:45:27This indicates that they cannot afford to get even so much as a scratch from these animals.
00:45:33They are more poisonous than snakes.
00:45:35What, do you think they're all affected?
00:45:38The best 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.
00:45:48Doctor, 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.
00:45:57I think if we keep up close watching those walls and windows in there,
00:46:00we might make it till daybreak.
00:46:03The walls are two feet thick to you.
00:46:05Do you think they have a chance to dig in?
00:46:08Of course there's a chance.
00:46:10Anywhere that plaster's off, that adobe's as soft as mush where that rain hit it.
00:46:19What is beautiful?
00:46:22It's a tough decision.
00:46:24I think we've kept getting in with the rain.
00:46:25I think that's the very good idea of the rain.
00:46:26We can't get into the rain.
00:46:34Be careful.
00:46:41They're finally too far as the rain.
00:46:42You might not just let them see the rain.
00:46:42I think we can see the rain.
00:46:43Like, that is the rain.
00:46:45It's a phenomenal holiday season.
00:46:45If you have no eye would,
00:46:46It'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.
00:47:12Sounds fine, Captain.
00:47:13Good. Then you explain it to the rest.
00:47:15Yes, I will.
00:47:29Well, the bait's been out for 20 minutes.
00:47:32Nothing's touched it.
00:48:11Even the wind has gone down.
00:48:13And 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.
00:48:20I'll be back at the bend shortly.
00:48:22Now, you watch for my signal.
00:48:23You can't go low.
00:48:25I'll go with him.
00:48:26Not you, Father.
00:48:27You haven't even fired a gun.
00:48:29Take Rado, Jerry.
00:48:31Sure, I'll go.
00:48:33Then you'll be sure of getting a signal.
00:48:38You can't go.
00:48:43I'll go.
00:48:55Then you'll be sure of getting a signal.
00:48:58I'll go.
00:48:59You can't go.
00:49:00I'll go.
00:49:02I'll go.
00:49:15Don'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.
00:49:30You have that gun pointed at me?
00:49:33It's right in the middle of your back.
00:49:36Look, we've got enough problems about 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.
00:50:16Hey, look!
00:50:19Hey, look!
00:50:21Look!
00:50:27Where's this gift?
00:50:32I'll follow that check line.
00:50:33I've got to find him.
00:50:35Since last night, you won't find much of it.
00:50:38Would you shut up?
00:50:39I'm not going back.
00:50:41You're what?
00:50:42I'm staying here.
00:50:44All 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've got to give me a gun.
00:50:57Give you a gun?
00:51:02Sherman, wait!
00:51:07Let's go.
00:51:37This 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 us.
00:51:56What is it?
00:51:57Shh.
00:51:59They'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.
00:52:16You stay in front of me because I don't trust you.
00:52:33They're coming!
00:52:43Open the gate!
00:52:48Open the gate!
00:52:50Open the gate!
00:52:58You've got to let them in.
00:52:59Let them in!
00:53:02Sorry, open the door!
00:53:03Come on!
00:53:16Jack, do they have to hit me?
00:53:18Come on!
00:53:19The shoes were out there.
00:53:20I couldn't take a chance!
00:53:21Joey!
00:53:33Let's go.
00:53:52For heaven's sakes, doctor, stop them!
00:54:38All right, didn't he have it coming or didn't he?
00:54:41What happened out there?
00:54:43Oh, nothing much. Jerry just tried to kill me twice in the last five minutes.
00:54:50Brooke came ashore last night. He is dead.
00:54:59This saw was left. It won't do us any good. It's got no ammo.
00:55:17I'm deeply sorry, Captain. I wish you had followed your orders.
00:55:23Look, doctor, you casually mention animals. You didn't explain to us what we were facing out there.
00:55:29You have every right to feel the way you do.
00:55:33My mistake was only mine. It was one of judgment.
00:55:37I didn't know about the hurricane. I didn't anticipate the effect it would have on the shrews.
00:55:44I thought the house would be safe through the crisis.
00:55:47How could you expose your own daughter? How could you expose Anne to that?
00:55:51She was going to leave last week, but the boat didn't come.
00:55:55Need a drink.
00:56:01Anybody else care for one?
00:56:03I could use some coffee.
00:56:05I'll make some.
00:56:08Creamy sugar?
00:56:11Oh, 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.
00:56:43Oh, God!
00:56:52That was a stupid waste of ammunition.
00:56:54Never want them a clean mess.
00:56:56There's still four of them in there.
00:57:01How did they get in?
00:57:03Through that kitchen window.
00:57:04That rope must be rotten.
00:57:08It got him!
00:57:10Rats, Rats!
00:57:13Rats!
00:57:17Rats!
00:57:19He's dead.
00:57:21Oh, no!
00:57:35You recorded every symptom and reaction.
00:57:40Right up to the moment of his death.
00:57:46Jerry, tear down one of those drapes and cover him up.
00:57:51Sure!
00:57:52Sure!
00:57:54Gregus will cover Anne, and I'll cover him.
00:57:58You'll cover me, but who'll cover you?
00:58:00Shut up!
00:58:02We can get on that man who'll sway from the ship!
00:58:05Shut up!
00:58:09Now, you stop sniveling on things!
00:58:11It'll take a tank to get us out of here!
00:58:17Look!
00:58:19There!
00:58:26Get ahead with this!
00:58:38It won't take them off to dig around this!
00:58:39You're right!
00:58:40No telling where else they're digging, too!
00:58:56No telling where else they're digging, too!
00:59:05Come on!
00:59:06That's good!
00:59:06Come on!
00:59:18Come on!
00:59:18enough stuff here to barricade those walls.
00:59:21I'll tell you, we'll pile some of those crates
00:59:22up over there, and that route's our last chance.
00:59:24Here, help me, Doctor.
00:59:26You can find something light.
00:59:28All right.
00:59:36Here, help over that, Doctor.
00:59:37You can find some more.
00:59:59Doctor, use these chemical drums as tanks.
01:00:03Individual tanks.
01:00:04Here, I'll show you.
01:00:05All right.
01:00:05Stand down here.
01:00:06Yeah.
01:00:08Look down now.
01:00:09All right.
01:00:09Slow.
01:00:10All right.
01:00:11Are you all right?
01:00:12Yeah.
01:00:14Hold it here.
01:00:15Make some eyepieces.
01:00:16Get out some tools of my band.
01:00:18It's all right.
01:00:20All right.
01:00:29Hey, here's another one.
01:00:32Hey, get that out there.
01:00:34We'll have to work on it.
01:00:36Hey, that's even better.
01:00:46Give me a little more slack.
01:00:50Get some rope and put it on that latch
01:00:54so we can reach it from the ground.
01:01:01Hey, that's even better.
01:01:04Come on.
01:01:06Come on.
01:01:19We'll have to work on it.
01:01:24Hey, there.
01:01:25Look! Kill him!
01:01:30Somebody hold the other hand!
01:01:42Now hold this answer, all right?
01:02:03All right, we're all set.
01:02:05Something's gonna be rough, but we should be able to duck walk to the beach.
01:02:09Where's Jerry?
01:02:10There's a lot of them out there! I can see them! I'm not going!
01:02:13Look! 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!
01:02:20You've got to get them down here somehow, and see if you can close them down here.
01:02:25Hey, Jerry, please come down with us!
01:02:27No, Ann! They'll get you if you go out here!
01:02:29Come down here, you fool!
01:02:31Poor devil, I hope he makes it.
01:02:33If he can't leave, he's not responsible for himself.
01:02:38He's got to go now.
01:02:46All right, Doctor. All right.
01:02:53All right, all right.
01:02:54All right, all right.
01:02:54Now hold it up.
01:03:00All right, all right.
01:03:05Everybody ready?
01:03:06I'm gonna open that gate.
01:03:09They're ready.
01:03:12Ready.
01:03:12Okay.
01:03:13Okay, here they come.
01:03:19Hold on! Hold on!
01:03:54And what's the matter?
01:03:56Your side's dragging.
01:03:59You want to rest?
01:04:00You tired?
01:04:01You tired?
01:04:05What'd you say?
01:04:07She says she's all right.
01:04:09She's keeping her eyes closed.
01:04:12All right, keep your eyes closed.
01:04:14They can't get at you through the slit.
01:04:16They can't get at you.
01:04:21They can't get at you.
01:04:28They can't get at you.
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.
01:04:38You 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.
01:05:16Oh!
01:05:41Oh, my God.
01:05:43Oh!
01:05:44Oh, my God!
01:05:44Oh, my God!
01:05:45Let me lower!
01:05:57He got my foot.
01:05:59Check your foot.
01:06:02No, my foot is free, but he got my foot.
01:06:05Is there a scratch?
01:06:07No, not a mark.
01:06:22Keep moving.
01:06:24Let's go, let's go.
01:06:32Don, I don't think I...
01:06:36What?
01:06:39Son!
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.
01:07:07We better work deeper.
01:07:13I'm about to round out.
01:07:16Okay, let's swim for it.
01:07:18Okay.
01:07:20Okay.
01:07:22Okay.
01:07:46We are safe, aren't we?
01:07:47I mean, this door.
01:07:49Sure.
01:07:50She rode out the first half, all right.
01:07:52That's always the roughest.
01:07:54Anyway, riding an anchor, I'll get a chance to learn a little more about that Swedish accent.
01:07:59In 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.
01:08:09Well, you know something, doctor?
01:08:11What's that?
01:08:13I'm not going to worry about overpopulation just yet.
01:08:31I'm not going to worry about overpopulation.
01:08:32I'm not going to worry about overpopulation.
01:08:32I'm not going to worry about overpopulation.
01:08:33I'm not going to worry about overpopulation.
01:08:33You
