Dinosaur from the Deep

He's for you, Kruger.

Don't move or I'll blow your brains out!

No! The reward is bigger with him alive.

Really, this car is becoming

our main office!

It's much more discreet, no bugs,

no camera...

Believe me, Norton, I prefer it

this way for our meetings.

I have good news for you.

The lawyers have suceeded. We'll be able

to execute Calvin.

-You're serious?

-Yes, my dear, they found a loophole.

The death penalty is abolished nowadays

but it used to exist in the past.

-You mean that...

-Exactly!

We just need to send Calvin back

in time and execute him legally.

I confess it's a great idea.

Who will be in charge?

Kruger already offered his help.

We need to pay him well of course.

That's the heart of the matter.

We don't have the funds for such a trip.

Come on, Norton! That's why we're

paying our lawyers a fortune.

They discovered a scientific project,

a time travel expedition during the age of the first dinosaurs.

Their funding is insufficient.

We'll just have to contribute our share.

Pliers.

Stop that guy from yelling,

it's really upsetting in the end!

Someday someone will hear their

screams and we'll be in trouble.

We can't have trouble with a Number 0.

He's already dead. I just had him

ressurected for this experiment.

For the dead he has quite a voice!

-And what did you find?

-Fear effects on the pupil.

When the pliers approached the eye, he

saw the picture with a great intensity!

-Alright but what about commercial implications?

-I don't care. It's not important.

That's enough, Hernandez! I've suffered

your fake experiments for ten years!

Profitability! I want profitability!

We're certain that remains of the jurassic

era have survived on our twin planet Terra.

Mainly dinosaurs.

Satellite pictures are clear. Look at this one.

It's a joke! This picture is

part of the Playboy archives!

No, it's a real satellite picture.

Although the she-creature in evidence

strongly intrigued us.

I'm beginning to understand why you need

additional funding to put up this expedition.

Additional funding granted.

In exchange you will have to take

this criminal and his executioner aboard.

He will do his job on Terra

with the method of his choice and he

will come back with your crew.

Calvin will be buried on Terra.

If I'm following you, this criminal

will become a Number 0.

-I'm suggesting an experiment.

-That's enough, Hernandez!

You cried enough to be in charge of this

dinosaur hunting trip! Forget about the rest.

You heard? It's our lucky break!

I'll make arrangments to have you in the crew.

Sixty days!

Sixty days and sixty nights!

What's the idea? Sacking Hernandez from

the project on a whim!

It's me who deposited a patent for

the cardiac reanimator.

Deposited, not invented. It was

Hernandez's invention and each sale

makes you richer day after day.

The patent was deposited in my name.

That's the only thing that matters.

Everyone can do that!

Each man has the right to be

lucky once in his lifetime!

But you're lucky everyday!

You're hinting at Peguy, I presume?

Her fortune helped me to start but

it was a great cost all the same.

It's been 15 years that I supported her.

Yes but you can't leave her

since she has all the shares.

You could be tactful and try and avoid

mentioning her when we're alone.

Sometimes I want to kill her.

In this case I could kill you too because

you would not stay single!

Spencer, what's the situation?

We have not deviated from our course.

In exactly 3 days we'll reach Terra.

Wake up Professor Nolan.

Look at the geniuses!

They want to explore the galaxy

and they can't stand a rocket-ship air-blast!

Where is Nora?

Surprised, my dear husband?

Peggy, not you!

How did you manage to get embedded?

Don't worry!

Your dear Nora is snoring but she will

wake up soon like everyone on earth!

Don't you think I'm a good substitute for her?

And I think that I can do her job as well.

I look forward to be photographed

with these beasts.

It won't be a very pleasant trip,

you know. It's not a picnic.

-You will stay aboard during

the expedition. -Certainly not.

-Never!

And it should be funny to

see you whack this man!

How will you manage to do it?

A bullet between the eyes.

On the first day I hope.

I'm so excited to see him dying.

There's plenty of time.

A**hole.

If he's still alive tomorrow, I will allow

myself to do the job in your place.

Rest assured. If Kruger don't

I will do it.

Hey, photograph man! Be ready with your

camera!

When this scum will whack me

it will be the scoop of your life!

There will be no picture.

Then maybe you will have the

picture of my escaping!

I don't think so.

Look at these vultures! They will

kill themselves to get the reward!

It's now or never for

experiment Number 0!

It's not the time for this. We'll be

busy enough with the dinosaurs.

Take him out of here. This part of the

mission is not to my liking.

Hurry back.

Let's go.

That's it! We're on Terra's orbit.

Breathable atmosphere but oxygen content

slightly lower than that of the earth.

On the other side the probe reveals

a significant amount of pollution.

We knew that.

Previous dictators used Terra as

a garbage planet for earth.

It's full of toxic nuclear wastes.

It must be dangerous.

I told you so. More reason to stay

quietly aboard the ship.

Would I be so safe with all

these young men in here?

-Of course, I'd never cheat!

-I'm trusting you!

Not sure we'll see a dinosaur.

Maybe the pollution killed them all.

What is that?

It's proof that pollution has not

decimated all the human life on this planet.

The growl came from this area. I'm certain

there are dinosaurs in this forest.

Help! Help me! Hurry up!

Help me!

You didn't move, bastard! You would

be happy with me dead, won't you?

Why are you saying that darling?

I was paralysed by fear, that's all.

Shut up!

You dirty bastard, you could help me!

I'm not paid to help you.

It could be a shinbone with the

end chewed-up. Marrow is gone.

-By a dinosaur?

-No doubt about it.

But nothing proves the shinbone

is from an human being.

Given the size of the footprints

this one must be huge.

They're nearby.

How could we approach them

without taking too many risks?

We need something to lure them. A bait.

They're flesh-eating animals.

We should use the murderer to lure them.

If they don't smell blood

they won't come.

We have to hurt him.

You're right.

We have to hurt him enough for him

to bleed out without dying too soon.

A hand is enough.

I agree.

Time's running out. Our

reserves are not inexhaustible.

Kruger, finish your job.

Why now?

You have to do it anyway.

Let's get rid of this chore.

-Before we meet the monsters.

-Oh, yes, right now, right now!

You have no right. You had no right

either bringing me on this planet.

I know my rights.

Your rights? On this deserted planet?

Be reasonable man.

Better to die for the scientific cause

than from a bullet in the head.
