coming from two sources.

I suggest we trace them.

You want to follow

this oil underground?

I feel we must.

But the crab, Karl.

The crab is like a rattlesnake.

It can be heard long

before it can be seen.

I believe we can keep out of its

way if we only remain alert.

He knows this better than we do.

That is why he is trying

to reduce this island

to a small corner, from

which we cannot escape.

All right.

But at the first

sound of a rattle,

get out of there, eh?

All right. Don't worry.

Don't worry.

You follow this stream, and I

shall follow the other one.

- Dale, what is it?

- Karl's down in the caves!

- Why did he go?

- Never mind!

The crab is heading

straight for him.

We've got to get him out

before it's too late.

Then let's go!

Stay there, Martie!

Martha!

Get out of here!

- Keep going!

- Dale, no!

I'm gonna light the

oil back there.

Come on. He knows

what he's doing

Come on!

Did you kill it?

No.

He can avoid the main stream.

Of all of us, I thought

Karl would be the one to...

That fire won't

hold it very long.

I don't think it matters

much anymore, Hank.

Well, just so it holds it long enough

for me to get one message away,

- just one more S.O.S.

- Hank you've got the radio?

That was quick thinking, Dale.

The pity is that all fires

must one day burn out.

You getting through, hank?

How should I know? I'm not on

the other end of this thing.

Oh, Hank, you must get through.

I know it.

It's gone dead

I am afraid that won't

help you, Hank.

By the time ships and

planes can arrive,

this island will have vanished

beneath the waves of the sea.

But you will not drown.

You will be a part of me.

And as with McLane, there

will be no evidence

of how you vanished

or of my existence.

We will rest in the caves

and plan our assault

upon the world of men!

No! Run!

Get out of here!

Look!

The water's rising.

Come on! Climb!

Hank, you got any fight left?

What for? It's only

wasted energy.

Sure, I got fight left.

I don't know what good

these will be now, Hank,

but I got two grenades left.

How about you?

I got four.

Let's see what's in the toolbox.

Transmitter's still working.

Here, this looks good.

Dale!

Go!

Let's try and blast him, Hank.

Foolish.

Very foolish.

Watch it, Hank.

Hank!

- He gave his life.

- I know.
