I got to him. He tried to warn me.
Two people don't share
the same hallucination.
Hello, Tom. How are you?
- Thawed out?
- Jack, I'm glad you're here.
I'm having a hard time convincing
them that I'm not an idiot.
I was in Washington making my report.
I was...
What did they say about the animal? I want
to be in on any expedition going after him.
Tom, I didn't tell them about the animal.
Why not?
It should've been in the report.
I went back to Post 18. I tried
to reconstruct what happened out there.
I couldn't find a thing.
No tracks. Nothing.
Nothing?
I'm sorry. I wish
I could say I saw something.
The blizzard.
There was a blizzard, remember?
The snow must have blown over
and covered everything.
- Check me out of here.
- You are in no condition to leave.
It's imperative that you have rest.
- How can I rest?
- I've encountered this sort of thing before.
You've undergone a tremendous shock.
You've got to stay in bed.
I see. And that makes it official?
I'm afraid it does.
So long. You do what the doctor says. We'll
get together when you're on your feet.
That won't be too long.
What about that sound I heard?
In your condition, it could have been
anything. The wind. Anything.
No wind ever made a sound like that.
Captain. Captain!
Are you daft, man?
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
What's going on
Oh, death and politics. The comic page
is the only thing that makes sense anymore.
I take it, then, that you advise
a dose of it after each meal?
- You quote me exactly.
- Then I'm gonna take your advice exactly.
Here it is.
Say.
Look at this!
That item is right where it belongs.
On the comic page.
And that's why I came here, Dr. Elson.
I felt if you heard my story,
you'd do something.
And what is it you think I can do?
Fit out an expedition,
institute a search.
The fitting out of an expedition requires
a great deal of attention to detail.
Such as time, personnel, money.
How can you talk about details
in the face of such a discovery?
I'm not a paleontologist, and I have
a desire to know more about this animal.
I thought you'd have
such a compelling curiosity...
...that nothing would stand in your way.
Professor Nesbitt,
after waiting for 30 years...
...l'm about to undertake
...the slightest chance of what your
saying being possible. It isn't.
What about that newspaper item?
If all the items of seamen reporting
monsters were placed end on end...
...it'd reach to the moon, my boy.
You mean, I'm wasting your time?
Do you realize
you're asking me to believe...
