It would have been as clever as you.

Much more so

because what it had taken from me

would have been added to the learning

that it already had.

Professor, spy, baggage man, thief.

What was the creature looking for?

Well, that we'll never know

now that it's dead and yet...

What?

A creature like that...

how would it ever die?

- Inspector?

- What is it?

I found this. The animal had it.

- (Saxton) The animal had it?

- Give it to me!

- It belonged to Count Petrovski.

- How do you know?

I saw him put it in the safe.

Steel - harder than a diamond.

That's why the spies are after it.

The French, German, English.

But they are wasting their time.

What really matters is the formula

and that, gentleman, is safe... up here.

What happened to the girl? The spy.

She's dead.

The fossil or whatever it was killed her.

- But there's no more danger.

- The beast is not dead.

I put four bullets into him.

You think evil can be killed with bullets?

Satan lives.

The unholy one... is among us!

Specimen jar.

- What do you expect to find in the eye fluid?

- I don't know.

- Why, this is incredible.

- What?

It's the last thing the creature saw!

- The police inspector.

- The image has been retained in the fluid.

Exactly. The creature's visual memory

is located not in its brain but in the eye itself.

Can you identify anything?

It's a brontosaurus!

A pterodactyl.

(Train whistle)

(Saxton) Incredible.

This is not a map.

(Saxton) It can only be the Earth

seen from space.

I hope I'm not intruding. People on the train

are becoming afraid, Professor.

People on long journeys become bored,

Madame. They crave excitement.

- Then there's no more danger?

- It's all finished.

And what about your science?

The evolution you were talking about?

Look for yourself.

Come here, Pujardov.

There's something I want to show you.

Look.

(Russian)

It is the Holy Writ.

Where did you get it?

There, from the creature's eye.

- The eye of Satan!

- Nonsense. There's a scientific explanation.

Do you know it?

No.

Not yet.

Before the fall, before Satan

was banished from the throne of God,

the Evil 0ne looked down from heaven

and did see...

Rubbish!

Pujardov!

- Pujardov? Where is he?

- I don't know.

He's gone mad.

- I'll look in the baggage car.

- Right.

- Looking for the thief, Miss Jones?

- You know about it.

What's all the fuss?

You get back that eye

and there's a thousand roubles in it for you.

A thousand rubbles for an eye?

There's something in it.

- Pictures.

- Pictures of what?

Pictures of the earth in prehistoric times.

Pictures of the earth seen from space.

Who else has seen such pictures?

Dr Wells, Professor Saxton

and that pretty Countess.
