The Monster That Challenged the World Page #3

---

TO NOBODY.

IT DON'T BELONG

TO YOU, DOES IT?

NO, IT DOESN'T.

WILL YOU SHOW ME

WHERE YOU FOUND THIS CAP?

COME ON.

THERE.

WHAT'S THAT?

A UNIFORM:

OR AT LEAS PART OF ONE.

DID YOUR DAUGHTER

AND HER BOYFRIEND

EVER SWIM HERE?

SWIM? I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T THINK THEY COULD--

JODY!

JODY!

OH.

OH, BABY!

I COULD CUT OUT:

MY TONGUE:

FOR THE THINGS:

I SAID TO YOU.

[Crying]

OH, BABY.

JOSH!

JOSH!

WHAT'S UP?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT THAT'S

THE SAME THING:

WE FOUND ON:

THE SIDE OF THE BOAT.

DR. ROGERS SAYS

IT'S HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE.

I BETTER CALL:

AND HAVE HIM INVESTIGATE

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,

BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE

IS KILLED.

MAN, IT'S COLD

DOWN THERE.

I'LL GET PRICE TO

GET YOU SOME COFFEE.

DO YOU WANT US:

TO MOVE OUT AGAIN?

NO, NOT YET.

THERE'S A ROCK FORMATION

I WANT TO CHECK:

WITH A GEIGER COUNTER.

AS SOON AS I FIX

MY REGULATOR.

THANKS.

ANY SIGN OF THEM?

NOTHING. THOSE KIDS

ARE PROBABLY OFF

ON A HONEYMOON.

I HOPE SO.

THAT'S IT.

THANKS.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

KEEP A SHARP EYE,

WILL YOU?

BELIEVE ME,

WE HAVEN'T SEEN A THING,

EXCEPT A FEW FISH

THE SIZE OF YOUR LEFT HAND.

FINE. JUST

BE CAREFUL.

SURE THING.

HOW ROUGH DOES:

IT USUALLY GET?

IT DEPENDS:

ON THE WIND.

AS A RULE,

THERE'S NOT

MUCH CURRENT.

THEN IF THE BODIES

ARE DOWN THERE,

THEY'LL BE EASY

TO FIND.

SHOULD BE. UNLESS...

UNLESS WHAT?

I'D RATHER NOT

CONJECTURE.

OKAY?

YES, SIR.

WE'VE GOT YOU

ON THE FREQUENCY.

[Johns]

RIGHT.

WE'RE STILL DESCENDING.

WHAT'S YOUR DEPTH?

[Johns]

40 FEET.

[Johns]

60 FEET. WE'RE LEVELING OFF.

GOOD. TRY A READING.

[Blake]

DOCTOR, I'M NOW CHECKING

THE ROCK FORMATION.

READING IS NORMAL.

NORMAL. GOOD.

WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LIKE?

[Blake]

DOCTOR, ABOUT THE SAME.

WE'RE GOING DOWN AGAIN.

IT LOOKS LIKE:

THERE MAY BE:

SOME KIND OF CAVE

OUT UNDER US.

HOW DEEP ARE YOU?

[Johns]

80 FEET.

STILL DROPPING.

THAT'S MOST UNUSUAL.

WHY?

WE'VE BEEN OVER

THIS AREA A DOZEN TIMES,

THE MAXIMUM DEPTH

IS 65 FEET.

DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

[Johns]

DON'T WORRY.

[Johns]

97 FEET.

100.

125.

WE'VE LEVELED OFF

AGAIN.

I THINK WE'RE

AT THE BOTTOM:

OF SOME KIND OF:

HUGE CAVERN.

WE SEE SOME KIND

OF PECULIAR OBJECT AHEAD.

HANG ON.

[Blake]

DOCTOR, I GET A

READING OF 1.038.

WHAT IS IT?

[Blake]

I'M NOT SURE.

SOME KIND:

OF MARINE GROWTH, I THINK.

CIRCULAR. ABOUT 6 FEET.

ALMOST TRANSPARENT.

WE'LL TRY TO CUT IT LOOSE.

I'LL SEND DOWN A NET.

LOWER THE NET, BOYS.

[Johns]

OKAY. TAKE IT UP.

IS EVERYTHING:

ALL RIGHT?

[Johns]

NO PROBLEMS.

WE'RE STILL LOOKING.

HOLD OFF AND COME

UP TILL WE CHECK

WHAT'S IN THE NET.

[Johns]

OKAY.

[Johns]

WE'VE FOUND THE GIRL.

CAN YOU GET HER UP QUICKLY?

[Johns]

IT'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

OKAY, BUT DON'T

TAKE ANY LONGER.

[Blake]

MY TANK.

WHAT' S WRONG?

[Johns]

BLAKE'S TANK IS CAUGHT

IN THE UNDERGROWTH.

DO YOU NEED:

ANY HELP?

NO, WE'RE OKAY.

[Growling]

OH!

JOHNS!

JOHNS!

ANSWER ME, JOHNS!

[Johns]

I'M OKAY. IT GOT BLAKE.

WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

[Johns]

I'M COMING UP. GET HELP.

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT HAPPENED?

OH, MY GOD.

HIS BODY.

HE DIED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

I COULDN'T HELP HIM.

I'VE GOT TO GO BACK.

TALK SENSE.

WHAT'S DOWN THERE?

I DON'T KNOW,

I NEVER SAW:

ANYTHING LIKE IT.

LIKE WHAT?

A CREATURE.

A GIANT CREATURE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING

BACK DOWN THERE.

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME,

I 'VE GOT TO KILL IT!

I SAID, "YOU'RE NOT

GOING BACK DOWN!"

STAY OUT OF THIS,

I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

THERE'S NO TIME

FOR HYSTERICS.

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING?

I DON'T KNOW.

WAS THERE JUST ONE

OF THESE CREATURES?

I THINK SO.

THERE WAS A CAVE,

OUTSIDE:

THAT THING.

AN EGG.

THAT MUST BE:

ONE OF ITS EGGS.

BEHIND YOU!

THE EYE.

GET THE EYE!

[Creature screams]

KEEP THOSE:

DEPTH CHARGES MOVING.

HURRY UP, BOYS,

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

THE COMMANDER WANTS TO LEAVE

IN 5 MINUTES.

THE PENTAGON IS SENDING

ADMIRAL GREENHOUSE

FOR THE CONFERENCE.

GOOD. WE'RE

KEEPING THE EGG:

IN THE LAB:

UNDER OBSERVATION.

WE SHOULD KNOW:

MORE ABOUT IT BY THEN.

I ISSUED:

A PRESS RELEASE SAYING

THE NAVY:

IS CONDUCTING ROUTINE TESTS

WITH UNDERWATER:

EXPLOSIVES.

THAT SHOULD COVER US

FOR THE MOMENT.

NO SENSE:

IN STARTING A PANIC.

[Clemens]

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

THEY'RE ABOUT

FINISHED LOADING.

YOU WANT TO:

TAKE A LOOK?

BE ABOUT 5 MINUTES,

DOCTOR. EXCUSE ME.

WOULD YOU:

SIGN THESE?

DID YOU GET:

A HOLD OF CONNIE?

NO, BUT I LEFT WORD FOR

HER TO COME DOWN HERE.

THANK YOU.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS,

LET US KNOW.

THE CHIEF OF STAFF

HAS AUTHORIZED:

FULL COOPERATION.

WE'LL SEE YOU

IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

DID MARS:

FINALLY INVADE US?

ANOTHER SECRET?

WHERE'S GEORGE?

WHERE'S GEORGE?

CONNIE,

I COULDN'T HELP IT.

WHERE'S GEORGE?

WHAT'S HAPPENED

TO MY HUSBAND?

CONNIE, STEP IN HERE

WITH ME FOR A MOMENT.

WHERE'S DR. ROGERS?

HE'S IN THE

RADIO SHACK.

HE'S WITH CONNIE.

OH.

WE'RE ABOUT READY

TO SHOVE OFF.

LEAVE THEM ALONE,

PLEASE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

I DON'T THINK

YOU ARE.

WHAT'S WRONG?

I SHOULD BE:

WITH CONNIE,

TELLING HER HOW:

YOU GET OVER IT.

THE TROUBLE IS,

YOU DON'T.

I MEAN,

I DIDN'T.

WOULD YOU LIKE:

A CIGARETTE?

NO, THANK YOU.

WHEN TOM:

WAS KILLED,

THEY SAID ALL:

THOSE THINGS TO ME.

TOM?

MY HUSBAND.

I'M SORRY,

I DIDN'T KNOW.

IT'S FUNNY,

YOU GO AROUND FOR DAYS

AND YOU DON'T

BELIEVE IT.

YOU THINK:

IT CAN'T BE TRUE.

AND ONE OF THOSE DAYS

YOU GET TO THINKING,

"IT IS TRUE.

HE ISN'T COMING HOME."

AND YOU SAY IT OUT LOUD,

"HE ISN'T COMING HOME."

DON'T LISTEN TO ME,

I'M OVER IT NOW.

IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO.

I COULDN'T GO IN THERE

WITH CONNIE.

NOT RIGHT NOW.

WHAT DID:

YOUR HUSBAND DO?

HE WAS A PILOT.

HE WAS STATIONED

IN SAN DIEGO.

SANDY AND I MOVED

HERE AFTERWARDS.

IT TAKES:

A GREAT DEAL OF COURAGE

TO START OVER.

I HAD A LOT OF HAPPINESS,

A LOT OF THINGS:

TO THINK ABOUT:

AND REMEMBER.

AND I HAD SANDY.

I COULDN'T FALL APART.

I GUESS NOT.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

YOU'RE EASY TO TALK TO,

AND I DIDN'T THINK

YOU WOULD BE.

GAIL.

YES, DOCTOR.

WOULD YOU TAKE CARE

OF CONNIE, PLEASE?

OF COURSE.

WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU,

DOCTOR. HOW IS SHE?

SHE'S RESTING.

SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

GOOD.

MEN,

DR. ROGERS HAS

SOME FINAL:

INSTRUCTIONS:

FOR YOU.

EVERYTHING:

THAT'S HAPPENED,

OR THAT WILL HAPPEN

ON THIS EXPEDITION,

IS CLASSIFIED:

"TOP SECRET." IS THAT CLEAR?

WE'VE CRIPPLED

AND MAY HAVE KILLED

THIS GIANT CREATURE.

TO MAKE SURE IT'S DEAD,

WE'RE GOING

TO SATURATE THE AREA

WITH DEPTH CHARGES.

BUT OUR MOST:

IMPORTANT JOB:

IS TO FIND:

ALL ITS EGGS.

ONCE THEY'RE LOCATED,

DR. JOHNS WILL MAKE

A QUICK SURVEY OF THEM

AND THEN THEY MUST

BE TOTALLY DESTROYED.

CMDR. TWILLINGER

WILL BE IN CHARGE

OF THE UNDERWATER

DEMOLITION.

I GUESS:

THAT'S ALL.

ALL RIGHT, MEN.

LET'S GO.

BELIEVE ME,

IT'S BEST FOR YOU

TO STAY HERE TONIGHT.

I'VE GOT

PLENTY OF ROOM.

[Explosion]

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

COME ON.

[Doctor]

WHAT YOU SEE HERE

IS THE FORMATION

INSIDE THE EGG SAC

WE FOUND NEAR THE

CREATURE'S LAIR.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE SHELL

IS BEGINNING TO HARDEN.
