Island Of Terror Page #5

---

Where can we go?

We can't reach the mainland.

If you'd seen what it did to Archie,

you'd swim.

Halsey!

Shut up.

Listen all of you,

if anyone leaves this building,

they'll be killed for sure.

We're safe enough in here, we've got

enough food and water to wait.

I'm so frightened, Mr. Campbell.

If you do as we say,

you've nothing to fear.

- Will you trust me?

- Yes.

Now, listen, Halsey,

and listen well.

If I hear another sound out of you,

I'll throw you out for those things.

I'm talking straight,

understand?

- Mr. Campbell, I can't stand it...

- Do you understand?

Mind that you do.

There's nothing to fear. We'll be

all right as long as we stay here.

- Are you sure?

- Sure.

Why, I've stuffed this place

with supplies on credit.

He's a much better colour,

he'll rest now.

Now what?

- I think you could use some rest too.

- I suppose we all could.

- Why don't you go and lie down?

- I'd rather not, not now.

- David?

- Hm?

Do you really think

we'll get out of this?

Well, I think we stand

a very good chance, yes.

But you don't believe that, do you?

Not 100%, no,

but I'd like to believe it.

Toni?

I've never been...

I've never been much good at...

At being serious with a woman

before now, but...

If we get out of this, I will...

Don't say anything more.

Not here, not now.

Yes, I'd better get outside,

it's nearly midnight.

David, be careful,

I love you.

The cattle are getting restless.

Aye, they're moving around a lot.

- How are the people taking things?

- I think it'll be all right.

- The boys are keeping the talk going.

- Good.

How many, do you think?

Hard to tell. About 100.

- So they didn't divide.

- It doesn't look like it.

Well, this is it.

It's a nightmare.

It's all over.

They're coming this way!

- Not stopping.

- No.

- Good Lord, look!

- They're dividing.

That means the effect

of the Strontium will be halved.

- I'd hoped it'd work before then.

- Let's get inside.

Tell them it may take time

to work.

- Will it work?

- I wish I knew.

- Brian, they've divided.

- What does that mean?

That the power and effect of

the Strontium is cut in half.

Did they divide before

or after they ate the cattle?

- After.

- That's something.

- Not much, but it's something.

- How's your arm?

I'm trying not to think about it.

It may take time

for the Strontium to work.

If it works.

- I don't like this.

- The generator's had it.

- They're coming.

- I can hear.

I'd better talk to them.

- Quiet everyone!

- Hold it!

- Please try and be quiet!

- Now don't panic.

We expected them here.

We must give it time to work.

Light the candles and lanterns.

Take it easy! Take it easy!

Quiet, please. Quiet.

They're frightened without the light.

- If they start breaking out.

- I know.

Come on, we've got a job to do.

- What's happened to the lights?

- Quiet!

Be careful,

they're panicking as it is.

- I'm sorry.

- We've got to set an example.

I'm not staying here.

I'll shoot anyone that moves,

I mean it.

I'll shoot anyone that moves.

Get back to your places,

away from the windows and the door.

Look out!

Get to the clinic,

as many as you can!

Open the door!

They're breaking in.

Take care of her, I'll be back.

Wait!

Come on,

quickly, block it!

Quick, bring anything you can!

Quickly, bring it over here!

- Hold on.

- I'm trying, but I'm so frightened.

I'm frightened.

No place else to go.

Hold it,

they're getting weaker.

Careful.

Give me a hand with this.

They're dead.

- Oh, David!

- Darling, it's all over.

We're all right now.

- And now my hand itches.

- Oh, shut up, Brian.

Watch it, or I'll sue you

for malpractice.

As soon as we get on,

we'll radio ahead for aid.

We'll need a lot of help to clean up

the island, bury the dead.

They'll send everything,

this afternoon.

I wish Philips'

had never started this.

No, he was just trying

to help humanity.

Science has its risks, but they

aren't enough to hinder progress.

- Have you searched the island?

- Yes, several times.

We killed them all, I'm certain.

I shudder to think of them.

Don't think about them, just try

to get them out of your mind.

- It's easier said than done.

- I know.

- What'll happen to the villagers?

- We'll send back help.

You know, we were lucky

this is an island.

If it had happened anywhere else,

I doubt we would've destroyed them.
