It has the two snake marks,

and I found this.

Diane, have you seen my notebook?

I had it a minute ago...

And I don't know where it is.

You know how I forget things,

Ar. Aercier!

No Doctor Penywerth,

This is Ar. Clark.

It doesn't matter, will you go to

Diane's party tonight?

Ar. Clark has brought us

something very interesting,

Why don't we examine it?

What a strange thing.

Do you feel the heat?

Yes, it's rare, it must be

some part of an animal's claw.

I've never seen

anything like that in my live,

Diane, I would like you to

analyze this as soon as possible...

If you don't mind

Not at all,

When we'll you have the results?

This afternoon and since you are

going to Diane's for dinner...

I can talk to you then

I'm sure Ar. Clark

will have other plans.

No, the truth is that

I don't have a plan.

Can I take Ar. Clark

upstairs, mom?

Not now,

Why not?

A, we have guests,

B, we haven't had dessert jet,

and C, I'm sure Sr. Clark

would like to finish his cauliflower.

You are so kind...

Come on if you don't clean your

plate you won't get any desert

Look, a roach

I'm going to kill it.

Wait Professor,

think for a moment...

And remember that even roaches are

God's creatures.

Yes, There is a lot to learn even

from the smallest insect.

If you capture that roach,

You will have an...

Interesting specimen to

dissect and study

But if all you do is to smash it

on the table,

The only thing you'll get will be...

A mesh.

Is not that Philip, it's the same if

you dissect it or you eat it,

The problem is the same,

you violate the six amendment.

Aartn, when I was a little boy,

I found a little frog,

I decided to examine it

so I cut it open,

It had intestines

and all those things,

And when I happened

to squash a mucus membrane,

A sticky and green substance

hit my face,

It had the color as an

roten avocado

I took a drop of that substance and

I examined it under my microscope...

and from the study of that drop

I discovered...

the cholera's cure

that has saved millions of lifes.

That's the problem, we keep

slather defenseless creatures

And we aren't in the Aedieval.

Diane, are you okay?

Yes, I was thinking that...

Professor, Why don't you take

Ar. Clark upstairs?

Would you like to see it?

I think it's a great idea.

I hate cucumber pudding

So do I.

Well' here it is.

So, is this that ultrasonic,

energetic modulo?

You'll see,

I'm going to show you how it works.

But before,

we have to record some sounds,

the device will play them back

a thousand times per minute

What we have to do now is...

Help! Help! Help us!

It's awful! It's brown!

It's inside!

We have to get it out!

It's inside, help us!

It has been sheriff!

It's in the house, it came out of

the closet and tried to kill Chip!

It was a monster!

It was awful!

Stay here, I'll be right back.

Surround that area! Tonight

we are going to hunt a monster.

Sheriff, wait a minute,

we don't know what's over there...

I know very well what's in there,

a gigantic snake,

and I'm ready to go in and

peel it's skin off

Get that door open!

Sheriff please!

We know you are in there,

so you better come out!

You have 30 seconds

to come out raising your hands.

You have only 15 seconds

to come out raising your hands.

If you don't come out,

we'll go and get you.

Don't shoot!

Carnival is over my friend,

Don't be silly,

and take off your costume.

It's incredible.

Stop right there weirdo!

One more sep and I'll shoot!

Let's get out of here!

Police, we are in big trouble

in AcAllister St.!

It's kind of like a monster!

Where are you going?

I need to find out where

it's going to,

Get out, get out.

It has disappeared.

What was it?

Something that any human being

has ever seen.

Did you want an article

Ar. Clark?

You might have the greatest

article in the world.

I just hope there is somebody left

to read it.

Aonster attacks

little Town in California.

Closet monster claims

the fifth victim.

Extra, read the news, a monster

is on the loose in Chestnut Hills!

The President declares

National emergency!

...they are heading towards that town

90 km away from San Francisco,

That has become

the focus of the entire world.

General Turball, in charge of

the operation has declared.

That the monster is...

Somewhere around these 3 blocks,

The area has been evacuated,

surrounded, and it's been patrolled.

If that son of a b*tch is in there

there is no way out.

Are you attacking the monster, or

are you waiting until he comes out?

We are following its movements,

We know exactly

where he is.

We will go straight for that beast

What are you going to do with it

when you find it?

A coat!

Any more brilliant questions?

Do you know the kind of monster

it is and where it comes from?

I don't care that's

Doctor Pennywerth's problem

I think it is a creature

from another world,

from other time

and maybe from another planet,

But that's just my idea,

that's why I decided to study it

To be able to answer

all your questions.

Any idea of why he chooses

to hide in the closets?

No, none, that's one of the

mysteries of this entire phenomenon.

General, are you going to try to

capture the monster alive?

I try to save lifes

I don't do scientific experiments,

as soon as get the beast,

We'll send him to another world.

But General,

there aren't fixed rules for that,

You could save more lifes

without pulling the trigger,

When I was a little boy

I found a little frog,

I could have killed it...

Excuse me gentlemen,

but we have a lot to do...

And we are wasting time

with all this talk.

If you do what you were told,

stay away from the area...

And keep your closets locked.

The Army will do the rest,

Thank you, good morning!

Scupp?

Hello big guy!

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Haven't you talked to the boss?

He forgot to call you,

Dick it's your lucky day,

you got promoted.

Yes, didn't you want to do

a politic article?

It's yours, the boss wants you

right back.

But I can't leave,

I have a sensational article.

Don't worry,

I can cover you,

All this about the monster

will be out dated soon,

The boss has better plans for you.

You don't have to thank me,

you would do the same for me

Listen Dick, I'll see you at the

Newspaper in a couple of days.

Dick Congratulations.

Why not?

A, Because. B, the doctor doesn't

want to see anybody now,

and C, we already told Ar. Clark

all we know.

To Ar. Clark? But he is worthless

And he is not in charge

of this matter.

What do you mean?

That guy is not a reporter,

do you know how he got his job?

His uncle is the owner of the Paper,

that's why he got it.

If we send him here, it was

to get rid of him,

he is a pain,

he is the fool of the Paper.

Thanks a lot for all that

valuable information,

But I think you should go

You'll see, I just want to talk to

to the old guy to...

The one you call old guy

has won two Nobel Awards,

And I think you should leave now.
