Yes. I've already got
an interesting problem for tonight.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
We are interrupting.
Miss Toni Merrill, may I introduce
Dr. Stanley and Dr. Landers.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
Excuse my dress.
David is better with a scalpel
that he is opening a bottle of wine.
Reginald practices on some
little island off the Irish coast.
He's found a body
without any trace of bone.
No bones? Yes, of course,
this is quite a common...
- I'm serious, doctor.
- I'm sorry, doctor.
I wasn't implying any lack of ability,
but it's difficult to accept.
- I can show you the body.
- He did a complete autopsy.
- No bones?
- No bones.
- Any contusions or lacerations?
- Not a trace.
That's why we're tossing it
into your lap.
I hate to disappoint you, but I've
never heard of anything like this.
What was the medical history?
Practically no medical history.
He was a strong, healthy farmer.
- Interesting problem, eh?
- Very. I'd like to see the body.
I was going to have a look
at it myself. Like to come?
- Yes.
- Good.
I'm sure they'll call it
"West's Disease".
This sudden humility
astounds me!
They've named so many after me,
it'll cause confusion.
- When are you leaving?
- Tonight. We'll need a plane.
- You could use my father's plane.
- We need a sea plane.
- It's a helicopter.
- That's nice of you, Toni.
- There's a catch.
- I should've known.
- I'm going with you.
- We don't know what we're up against.
It's an unknown disease,
we can't anticipate the effects.
Nevertheless, I'm going.
- Time is important.
- Quite so, quite.
Yes, I know.
Very well, we accept
your offer and the condition.
If you'll excuse me,
I'll telephone my father.
We'll stop by my lab
and pick up some equipment.
I can't wait for you. Your father
needs the helicopter.
That's all right, is it?
We don't have much choice.
I'll come back in a couple
of days.
- Right.
- We'll be marooned on the island.
We won't have any contact
with the mainland.
I can't take
the emergency launch back.
It's too late for other arrangements.
We'll have to make do.
I had no idea my father
would need the helicopter.
What did Napoleon do on that island
of his to him busy?
He invented solitaire.
- I've a much better game in mind.
- Can three play?
Fascinating game, solitaire.
- Hello, John. How's Mrs. Bellows?
- Those pills did the trick.
Good.
Constable Harris,
may I introduce Dr. Stanley,
- Miss Merrill and Dr. West.
- How do you do?
- Does anybody know about Ian?
- No.
- Have you been in touch with Philips?
- No, he's not been down.
- Philips?
Dr. Lawrence Philips.
Oh, Dr. Philips!
What's he doing out here?
- This is where he set up his lab.
You've got to get to him first.
He's a recluse.
Who is he?
What does he do?
Top man in cancer research.
Before we do anything,
let's see that body.
Not a very pretty sight.
I intend to make
the first incision here. Agreed?
Agreed.
Here's something interesting.
There are a series of minute
punctures in this dermal segment.
That's odd.
Let's collect segments
from other parts of the body.
Try staining it with eosin.
- It's the same with all of them.
- They're all over the body.
I've never seen anything
like these punctures before.
Could something have entered
the body through them?
- Like what, for instance?
- It's possible some enzyme
was introduced into the body
through the punctures.
If they are punctures. I can't tell
if they're punctures or ruptures.
Something came out or some organism
producing an enzyme went in.
There's no trace of calcium
phosphate in the body.
Then this enzyme,
or whatever it is,
seems to attack and break down
the calcium phosphate.
A major component of human bone.
We don't know
if there's a connection
between the perforations
and the absence of bone.
They could be two evidences
of a similar syndrome.
We'll have to assume it.
If we only had more complete
facilities.
There's Philips' lab,
but I don't know if he'll talk to us.
- He'll talk to me.
- How well equipped is he?
I've never seen it,
but I believe it's complete.
Don't say the lights
are going to fail.
We've had trouble
with the generator.
- Let's get out to Philips' place.
- All right.
I'd better leave a note
for Constable Harris at his house.
What a climate!
How do they stay healthy?
Does that generator supply
all this island?
All the electrical power. I've been
after them for months to fix it.
- Is that the house up there?
- That's it.
Good Lord, it looks like
"Wuthering Heights".
Try again.
I don't think it'll do much good.
We must get into that lab somehow.
- I'll look around. Got a torch?
- Yes, I have.
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
Wait here.
I'll find a way in.
- I've found another body.
- The same as the other?
- Where's the laboratory?
- I don't know. I've never been here.
We'll find it.
Let's try down here!
Isotopes. He's got as much equipment
here as I have at the University.
There's the lab.
There's one over here, as well.
Were there signs of a struggle
with Bellows?
You couldn't tell,
it was in a cave.
Philips had no contact in the village.
It's not a contagious disease.
Whatever it was,
it must've started in this lab.
Bellows' body was found
not far away.
If it did start here, it might be
moving down towards the village.
Well, they were either fighting
something,
or the death throes
were violent.
Why don't we study
Philips' notes?
- It could give us a lead.
- All right.
All right, hold on, I'm coming!
Come in, you're in time for tea.
John, I found one of my horses dead.
my horses, it's all soft and flabby.
- Where did it happen?
- In my field.
I've got to tell Dr. Landers.
He's at Philips' place,
according to this note.
Then I'll take a look
at your horse.
- Don't mention this to anyone.
- Why not?
Don't ask foolish questions,
do as I say. Now, go on.
I'll let you know everything
in a while.
You get started,
I'll tell Harris we're back.
Right. Meet us here,
we've a lot to read.
I'll be back shortly.
I could do with food and coffee.
It's been a hard day.
Doctor Landers?
Doctor Landers?
Doctor Landers!
Doctor Landers?
It was a horrible
looking mess.
- Good morning, doctor.
- Morning.
- Has anyone seen Constable Harris?
- He said he'd meet you at Philips'.
He's gone up to my fields
to look at my horse.
- What's that?
- He's gone to Philips' place.
My horse is dead
and he's gone up there.
- What happened to your horse?
- If it is my horse.
It's a bloody mess,
a pile of flesh.
- In your fields?
- Yes.
- The other side of the island...
- Pardon?
Nothing. Excuse me,
I've got to go.
- Wait, what's going on here?
- I can't explain now.
Some peculiar goings on
on this island.
It was a bit abrupt
on the doctor's part.
He may be right.
I'll go and see Campbell.
You're the head of the island,
