I doubt it.
Must be pretty big.
Enormous.
Doctor, what kind of a sea
beast would be that large?
What do you call it, so I
can stop calling it "it"?
I have no idea.
Nor have I.
Well, how do we find out?
That will take time and research.
I'll wire the university right
away to get a leave of absence.
The Navy will take care of that,
Doctor. You can get started immediately.
How about you,
Professor?
Working with Dr. Carter is
every marine biologist's dream,
You can get along
without me, I'm sure.
Can we, Doctor?
No.
Forgive my ignorance, Doctor,
but what makes her so unique?
Professor Joyce is
head of Marine Biology
at the Southeastern
Institute of Oceanography.
I would say she's probably the
outstanding authority on marine biology,
with the possible exception
of Vanderhume himself.
Then we'll get him.
Before you start looking,
I may as well tell you
Vanderhume is dead.
Oh.
Professor Joyce.
Yes?
I'll have to ask you
to stick around.
Why, Commander?
Because the...
The Navy would appreciate it.
I'm sure the Navy's able
Well, now, Dr. Carter
seems to think otherwise.
Dr. Carter's perfectly

regents meeting on Tuesday.
It's about the appropriations
Are those appropriations
that important?
To my school, very much so.
You know, Professor Joyce, this thing
that may be running loose in the Pacific,
that could be important, too.
I'm sure of it.
Perhaps not in the way you think.
I'm a scientist, Commander.
I don't have to be reminded that your
objectives are not necessarily my own.
Our objectives have nothing to
do with the situation, Miss Joyce.
The Navy will see to it
that you're not penalized
for your absence from the institute.
Arrangements will be made.
Well, I feel like I'm being drafted.
You are.
NARRATOR:
It was still too early forthe world to know what was going on
behind that closed door.
Only a handful of men in high
places heard reports of progress made
(PHONE RINGS) and waited
impatiently for the final conclusion.
Mathews speaking.
Oh, yes, Admiral.
Hold on a minute, sir.
They're still making tests, sir.
There's nothing really
conclusive to tell you.
I'll call you the minute anything happens.
Yes, sir. Good night, sir.
NARRATOR:
During 12 days andnights nothing was certain.
You people work hard.
It's our job.
I didn't realize
how hard.
What are you trying
to do? Apologize?
In a way.
It's not necessary.
I think it is.
Let me explain something to you.
A, I have been privileged to
classify an unknown sea specimen.
