No, the navy will assume
that Lieutenant Quinlan
decided to remain here,
rather than risk the storm.
Enewetak's probably getting
as much static as we are.
Probably, which means
we can't do anything
until conditions improve.
So why don't we let
Hank keep trying
while we begin our own working?
We have to go over
McLane's journal
sooner or later, so it
might as well be now.
Then let us go into
the living room.
"Thursday, March 11.
"Today Dr. Ben Diaz'
culture failed to produce
"any sign of bacteria,
"though left for five
days in the open."
"Friday, March 12.
"This afternoon,
Professor Carter found
having the same composition
"as that of the
common earthworm,
"With this section as a measure,
"the wormlike creature would be
more than five feet in length.
"Most intriguing is the
tissue's consistency.
"It proved impossible to cut,
"knives passing
through the flesh,
"leaving no mark.
"Fire was applied to the tissue,
"and the calorie result..."
The journal ends there.
Well, it's getting very late
Why don't we work out tomorrow's
schedule and then get some sleep.
What about that
5-foot night crawler?
Well, excuse me for
being so stupid.
Me and that book you're reading.
We weren't laughing
at you, Hank.
It's just that McLane
didn't really mean to imply
that the flesh was
from a big worm.
He said, "from a
wormlike creature."
You know, it might've
been a sea worm.
They've been known to grow
much longer than 5 feet.
Well, excuse me for
shooting my mouth off,
but the journal didn't say
anything about the sea...
Nothing in my
experience leads me
towards McLane's worm theory.
Nothing.
But why, I ask, did
the writer stop
in the middle of a sentence?
Yes, why, Karl?
Unless something really
unusual happened,
I'm sure he would've finished.
We shall find out, I think.
Well, gentlemen,
I will head down
to south valley in the morning.
You know, I haven't seen any
insect life since we arrived.
Shh. Quiet.
Listen.
Just the wind.
You nearly frightened
me to death.
Well, now, I couldn't very well
announce myself
underwater, could I?
Besides, you looked
scared down there.
I was scared...
And lost too.
You know, Dale,
it's funny, but...
I was using a big black
rock as a landmark,
but when I swam back,
the rock was gone.
Well, I did see something
move near you.
You did?
I wonder what it could've been?
I don't know.
Just a big black shape
moving through the kelp.
Land crabs and seagulls.
Everything else is dead.
Dale! Martha!
What's the matter, Carson?!
