Them! Page #2

Fingerprints on the trailer

check out real good.

Mr. Elinson was an FBl agent on vacation

with his wife and two children.

Call the local FBl office.

They've got a stake in this case, now.

Tell them Mr. Elinson's vacation

has been extended indefinitely.

lt's nice to get off that desert.

-lt must have been 1 10 out there today.

-At least.

Captain Edwards.. .

...this is Robert Graham from the FBl office

in Alamogordo.

-How do you do?

-Sit down.

Ben here bring you up to date

on this business?

Yes, sir, we went over these exhibits

before we left for the desert.

l took him to where we found the trailer

and to Johnson's store.

We've been there all day. Nothing.

Any ideas, Mr. Graham?

None that make any sense.

l thought you FBl guys were all Quiz Kids.

Solved everything right away.

l did, too, when l applied for the job.

Planes and the cars haven't found anything.

Give them time. People don't just drop off

the face of the Earth without a trace.

We'll find them.

You know what that is?

lt beats me. Has it been identified yet?

No, an officer took it to a friend

who teaches zoology at the college.

He said he'd never seen anything like it.

Lots of evidence, loaded with clues,

but nothing adds up.

The Elinson girl is our only real bet.

Any news on her?

No change. l checked with the hospital

a half hour ago.

l'd like to send this to our Washington

bureau. They might be able to identify it.

Or prove that it's nothing.

lt's all right with me.

Come in.

-Hello, Fred. Glad to see you, Ben.

-Hi, Doc, how are you?

You two know each other?

l don't believe so.

Dr. Putnam, County Medical Officer.

Robert Graham.

-He's with the FBl, so watch your language.

-l will.

l finished the autopsy on Gramps Johnson.

You want it technical or plain?

Just plain, Doc. Get to the verb.

Old man Johnson could have died

in any one of five ways:

His neck and back were broken,

his chest crushed, his skull fractured.. .

...and here's one for Sherlock Holmes:

There was enough formic acid in him

to kill 20 men.

l still don't get this.

Doctors Medford, two of them.

Department of Agriculture.

You sent that cast

to your outfit in Washington, didn't you?

Yeah.

Does this mean

that somebody has identified it?

l don't know.

-Great.

-Pardon me, sir.

The plane has landed. lt'll load over there.

Thanks.

-Got a match?

-Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

Dr. Medford?

Are you Dr. Medford?

Yes, yes. No need to shout.

You're the people.

They said you'd meet us.

That's right.

l'm Bob Graham.

-How do you do?

-This is Sgt. Ben Peterson.

-You're the one who found the print?

-Yeah, that's right.

Pat, hurry up.

l'm caught.

-Can l help?
