back to the house.

The rest of us will

look for Dr. Carson.

Dale, I'm all right. They'll

need you with them.

If we can bring Dr. Carson

out, two of us are enough.

If we can't, a whole

army will do us no good.

Are you hiding something

from us, doc?

A theory perhaps?

Maybe.

Come. We must hurry.

You all right?

Just a little shaky.

Let's get back to the house

and get some coffee.

Oh, I thought you

were the boogeyman.

I thought we heard a girl

screaming during the quake.

Did part of the cliffs

fall away into the sea?

Part of them? Well, it was

pretty dark where we were,

but it looked like the whole

island was coming down.

The boulders almost

crashed us in the tent.

The whole island, yes.

We must go faster. There

is very little time.

Little time for what?

That is Dr. Weigand's

small secret.

Let us catch him and find out.

Doctor, why did you try to stop

me from throwing that rock?

I just don't like

to kill anything,

even such ugly

creatures as these.

Poor helpless things.

Helpless nothing.

You ever see a bunch of them

start on a wounded marine?

They finish him off

in five minutes.

That's all the more reason

to get Jim out of that pit.

Yes, all the more reason.

Now, what do you want with

McLane's journal now, honey?

I just thought I'd

look through it

and see what it was Mac said

about those great caves

appearing in the

sides of the hills.

Well, he didn't say much,

except that it always

happened at night.

It was right in here.

There it is again.

- Another quake.

- No, the other sound.

I heard it at the pit.

You know if we both

hadn't heard it,

I'd swear it was my

own imagination.

Dale, what can it be?

I don't know, but

I'm gonna find out.

- Now, stay here, Martie.

- Don't go in there.

Put out the lights.

- There's light ahead.

- It's coming from the pit.

- Carson, we are near you!

- Quiet.

Come quickly.

He's still alive.

So let's get him out of here.

We can get him out,

but we must move with caution.

Why?

Do not call to him.

Why not, doctor?

Blood.

Where could he drag himself?

We will not find him tonight.

We had better return

in the morning

when there is more light.

I don't like the idea of leaving him

here all night with a busted leg.

Nor do I. Up the rope...

quickly.

We might as well go

back through the caves.

No! Up the rope.

Dr. Weigand...

You are a great

nuclear physicist

while I am a simple

provincial botanist,

but there are things

I do not understand...

There are many things that I do

not understand also, Jules.

You had better climb.

Our tent's just outside the cave.

We don't have to go up the rope.

Up the rope!

That's what I was afraid of.
