WORTH YOUR WHILE.

IT COULD BE:

IF YOU'D HAVE DINNER

WITH ME THIS EVENING.

OH, I'D LIKE TO,

BUT I CAN'T.

I'M LEAVING FOR MEXICO

RIGHT AWAY.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

THAT IS THE BOY:

MIGUEL.

HAS HE TOLD YOU:

ANYTHING YET?

NO, BUT YOU CAN

QUESTION HIM IF YOU LIKE.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO

MIGUEL?

MIGUEL?

YOU SEE, SEORITA.

YOU BETTER COME WITH ME.

I WILL FIND A PLACE

FOR YOU TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

THANKS, BUT I'M

GOING TO STAY HERE.

ALL NIGHT?

AS LONG:

AS NECESSARY.

THEN MY WIFE BETTER

GET YOU SOMETHING TO EAT.

OH, THANK YOU.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[MIGUEL MUMBLING]

WHAT IS IT, MIGUEL?

[GROANING]

SERGEANT.

SERGEANT!

[MUMBLING]

[INDISTINCT

YELLING]

[MUMBLING]

[MUMBLING STOPS]

[SIGHS]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

WHAT HE'S TRYING

TO SAY, SEORITA.

CALL ME:

IF HE SPEAKS AGAIN, HMM?

AAH!

OGRO!

OGRO!

[SOBBING]

MIGUEL.

MIGUEL.

MIGUEL.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

MIGUEL.

MIGUEL.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

WHAT DOES HE MEAN?

IT'S HARD TO SAY.

OGRO,

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S A--A BIG FELLOW,

LIKE AN OGRE:

IN A STORY.

A MONSTER,

A GIANT MAN.

HE MUST HAVE:

BEEN DREAMING.

WAS IT A GIANT, MIGUEL?

WAS IT A GIANT MAN?

WAS IT, MIGUEL?

WE LEFT WITHIN AN HOUR

AFTER I GOT YOUR PHONE CALL.

THIS IS DR. CARMICHAEL.

HE'S HEAD OF OUR

RADIATION EXPOSURE.

HE'S VERY MUCH INTERESTED

IN YOUR BROTHER'S CASE.

I ONLY HOPE I CAN

DO SOMETHING:

FOR HIM,

MISS MANNING.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

UH, DOCTOR

CARMICHAEL,

MAJOR BAIRD, THIS

IS SERGEANT MURILLO

OF THE MEXICAN:

STATE POLICE.

WHERE WAS IT THE BOY

SAW THE COLOSSAL MAN,

THE GIANT?

EL OGRO?

HE HAS NOT BEEN:

ABLE TO TELL US.

THE SERGEANT:

CAN SHOW YOU:

WHERE THE TRUCK:

DISAPPEARED, THOUGH.

S, SEOR.

WON'T YOU GET

IN MY AUTOMOBILE?

FINE.

Murillo:
THIS IS WHERE

THE BOY MIGUEL WAS FOUND.

THESE TRACKS WERE MADE

BY THE TRUCK:

HE WAS DRIVING.

THE TRUCK APPARENTLY

SKIDDED INTO THE WATER.

IT NEVER DROVE OUT.

WHAT DO:

YOU THINK, MARK?

IT SEEMS LIKE PRETTY MEAGER

EVIDENCE TO CONCLUDE

BECAUSE A TRUCK DISAPPEARED,

THAT THE COLOSSAL MAN

IS STILL ALIVE.

BUT THE BOY.

OH, I'M SURE THERE'S

SOME LOGICAL EXPLANATION.

SEORES.

SEORES,

COME QUICKLY.

THAT IS A VERY:

BIG FOOTPRINT.

Joyce:
MAJOR BAIRD, IS

THAT ENOUGH LOGIC FOR YOU?

THE FOOT THAT MADE

THAT PRINT IS ABOUT...

10 TIMES THE SIZE

OF A NORMAL MAN.

THAT WOULD MAKE HIM

ABOUT 60 FEET TALL.

GLENN WAS:

60 FEET TALL.

HE MUST HAVE:

GONE THAT WAY,

TO THE MOUNTAINS.

YOU THINK HE COULD

BE UP IN THOSE MOUNTAINS?

YES, IT COULD BE.

THERE ARE NO PEOPLE

UP THERE.

WELL, LET'S DRIVE SLOWLY.

MAYBE WE COULD FIND

SOME MORE FOOTPRINTS.

WHAT DO YOU SEE, LUIS?

THERE ARE NO MORE

FOOTPRINTS,

THE GROUND:

IS TOO HARD HERE.

I SEE SOMETHING:

OVER THERE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

THIS MUST BE PART OF

SWANSON'S MISSING TRUCK.

NO, THIS IS ANOTHER

TRUCK, SEORITA.

SWANSON'S TRUCK

IS DARK GREEN.

BED STAKE.

TON AND A HALF.

[RUMBLING]

NOTHING BUT:

A ROCK SLIDE.

IT IS GETTING LATE.

WE BETTER GO HOME.

IT IS NOT GOOD TO

BE HERE AFTER DARK.

THANK YOU.

OH, NO, THANKS.

I HAVE PLENTY.

SORRY TO BE SO LONG.

BUT I JUST TALKED

TO THE MEXICAN MILITARY

AUTHORITIES ON THE PHONE.

THEY HAVE TROOPS

AND ARTILLERY STANDING BY.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO

IS PINPOINT THE COLOSSAL MAN

AND THEY'LL MOVE

IN ON HIM.

HE MIGHT COME WILLINGLY

IF WE REASONED WITH HIM.

HOW DO YOU REASON

WITH A 60-FOOT GIANT?

IT'S POSSIBLE

HE'D LISTEN TO SOMEBODY

HE KNOWS WELL,

LIKE MISS MANNING.

WHY NOT TRY IT?

NO, I--I DON'T WANT

ANYBODY GETTING HURT.

PLEASE LET ME TRY

AT LEAST.

NO, I'M SORRY.

BE REASONABLE.

IF YOU USE:

FORCE ON HIM,

SOMEBODY WILL:

GET HURT.

VERY WELL THEN.

I'LL GO ALONE.

WAIT.

WAIT, MISS MANNING.

MISS MANNING...

I DIDN'T ASK

FOR THIS JOB,

I WAS ASSIGNED:

TO IT.

AND IF I'M GONNA

GET IT DONE,

I'LL HAVE TO HANDLE

IT IN MY OWN WAY.

WELL, IT SEEMS

TO ME YOUR WAY:

IS GOING TO HURT HIM

MORE THAN HELP HIM.

I HAVE TO THINK OF

THE SAFETY OF OTHERS,

AS WELL AS HIM.

THAT GOES FOR YOU, TOO.

[SIGHS]

I'M TO FORGET

HE'S MY BROTHER

AND DO NOTHING,

I SUPPOSE.

IT'S NATURAL FOR YOU TO

BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM,

BUT CAN'T YOU

LET IT GO AT THAT?

WELL, YOU DON'T

EVEN KNOW:

IF HE'LL

RECOGNIZE YOU OR NOT.

LET ME FIND OUT.

WE'LL SEE

ABOUT IT TOMORROW

WHEN THE SOLDIERS

ARRIVE.

OH, TODAY, PLEASE,

BEFORE THEY GET HERE.

PLEASE.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE

YOU'RE GOING

TO FIND HIM?

WHY, HE HAS A WHOLE

MOUNTAIN RANGE:

TO HIDE IN.

BUT WE HAVE:

SOMETHING TO GO ON,

THOSE FOOTPRINTS.

ALL RIGHT.

GET IN MY CAR.

HE'S BEEN RAIDING

THESE TRUCKS:

FOR FOOD TO LIVE ON.

THIS WAS A RIFLE.

MAJOR, LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S HIS THUMBPRINT.

THIS WAS:

SWANSON'S TRUCK.

[RUMBLING]

WHAT'S THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTING]

GET BACK, JOYCE.

[GRUNTING]

[GROWLING]

[CRASH]

[GROWLS]

I HOPE THEY:

ARE BAKING IT:

THE WAY YOU WANT IT, SEOR.

I THINK:

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WHEN WILL:

THE REST BE DONE?

THEY SAY IT WOULD

BE READY SOON.

THEY ARE ALREADY

LOADING THE TRUCK.

GOOD.

TRY IT.

CAN YOU TASTE:

ANYTHING?

TASTES LIKE BREAD.

WHAT'S IN IT?

CHLORAL HYDRATE.

ENOUGH TO PUT HIM TO

SLEEP FOR 8 HOURS.

I'LL BE

AT THE BAKERY.

WE HAVE TO CAPTURE HIM.

AND THIS SEEMS:

TO BE THE BEST WAY.

DR. CARMICHAEL SAYS

IT CAN'T HARM HIM

IN THE LEAST.

ISN'T THERE ANY OTHER

WAY TO HANDLE IT?

WELL, IT'S THAT OR LET

THE MEXICAN AUTHORITIES

DEAL WITH HIM.

WE HAVE NO OTHER

ALTERNATIVES.

NOBODY'S TAKEN THE TIME

TO THINK OF ANY,

AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.

THERE ISN'T TIME

TO TAKE.

IF WE DON'T GET HIM

BEFORE HE DECIDES TO MOVE

TO ANOTHER MOUNTAIN,

WE MAY LOSE CONTACT

WITH HIM FOR WEEKS.

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE RIGHT.

HIS FACE.

I CAN'T FORGET

HOW HORRIBLE IT WAS.

WHERE YOU FROM, JOYCE?

MY HOME IS:

IN SAN FRANCISCO.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'D

BE BETTER OFF BACK THERE?

DO YOU KNOW:

WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

TO BE JUST SITTING

AROUND WAITING FOR NEWS?

YOU MIND IF I:

SUGGEST A REMEDY?

IT'S AN OLD ONE,

BUT IT USUALLY WORKS.

FIND SOMETHING ELSE

TO OCCUPY YOUR MIND.

DO YOU HAVE A JOB?

I WRITE COPY FOR

AN ADVERTISING AGENCY.

WELL, THAT SHOULD HELP

YOU FORGET YOUR TROUBLES.

I CAN IMAGINE:

MYSELF GOING BACK

TO WRITING ALL THOSE

TIRED OLD ADJECTIVES.

TREMENDOUS,

GIGANTIC, COLOSSAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT:

THEY'D MEAN TO ME NOW,

DON'T YOU?

GLENN.

A COLOSSAL FREAK, MAJOR.

AND HE'S MY BROTHER.

[DOOR OPENS]

Carmichael:
WE'RE

ALL SET, MAJOR.

THIS IS NEAR THE AREA

WHERE HE ATTACKED

SWANSON'S TRUCK.

YOU THINK HE'LL EAT

THIS STUFF?

ALL DEPENDS:

ON HIS APPETITE.

THERE HASN'T

BEEN A TRUCK:

THROUGH THIS ROUTE

FOR 2 DAYS NOW.

HE SHOULD BE HUNGRY.

LET ME DRIVE, I KNOW

THIS ROAD BEST.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S STILL

NO SIGN OF HIM.

IF WE DON'T

MAKE CONTACT,

WE'LL MAKE

THE TRIP AGAIN.

BECAUSE WE ARE:

LOOKING FOR A GIANT,

IT DOESN'T FOLLOW

THAT WE DON'T

VALUE OUR LIVES.

BESIDES, WE WANT HIM

TO CATCH US.

AT THIS SPEED:

HE'LL NEVER MAKE IT.

I DON'T

DRIVE THIS WAY:

TO MAKE YOU:

NERVOUS, SEORES.

BUT THE FASTER:

WE GO,

THE MORE DUST:

WE MAKE,

AND THE FURTHER:

AWAY IT WILL SHOW.

BESIDES, GIANTS RUN
