Them! Page #3

-No, thank you, l can manage it.

This is the other Dr. Medford,

my daughter, Patricia.

This is the man who found the print.

Sergeant.. ..

-Ben Peterson.

-How do you do?

Then you must be Mr. Robert Graham.

-Yes, how do you do?

-Hello.

We've got a car to take you to the hotel.

That can wait. We have work to do.

l want to read all your reports right away.

Come on, Pat.

Excuse me, sir.

l should have had this suit pressed.

She's quite a doctor.

lf she takes care of sick people,

l think l'll get a fever real quick.

This is where the Elinson car and trailer

were found.

Twelve miles down this road is

the Johnson store.

Thank you.

Why did the FBl send that print

to the Department of Agriculture?

They weren't able to identify it.

-You only found one print?

-That's right, miss.

Have you identified it?

The Medical Officer's report on Johnson

suggests we were certainly wrong.. .

...to even consider this might be a hoax.

Read that, Doctor.

Tell me.. .

...in what area was the atomic bomb

exploded, the first one, back in 1945?

Right here in this same general area.

White Sands.

1945. That's nine years ago.

Genetically, it's certainly possible.

We're grown up. There's no need

to play footsie with us. We resent it.

lf you know what this thing is, Doctor,

l suggest you tell us.

We're assigned to this case, too.

Mr. Graham, we cannot tell you

until we're absolutely certain of our theory.

l'd like to first stop off at the drug store

and then see the Elinson girl.

She's still in shock, Doctor.

She hasn't talked yet.

After the girl, l want to examine

the territory where you found the print.

You were saying?

As l explained to Mrs. Johnson,

the little girl's aunt.. .

...we hesitate in using a curare

to diminish the spasms. She's too young.

Narcosynthesis would be useless

until we overcome the aphonia.

-What's aphonia?

-Loss of voice.

She's a classic case of hysteria conversion.

Only a severe catharsis could jolt her at all.

May l have a small glass, Doctor?

-Yes, certainly.

-Pat, that acid we got.. ..

Acid?

Formic, Doctor. Thank you.

lt may provide the jolt you need.

Them!

Them!

Them!

May we visit the desert now?

lt's getting late.

lt's later than you think.

Thank you.

Quite a breeze.

-The goggles, Doctor.

-What about them?

You're supposed to wear them

over your eyes.

Oh, thank you.

Yes, that is better.

-So this is where the car and trailer were.

-Yes, sir. Excuse me.

-Yes, thank you.

-The print was found right over there.

We found it here, by the fire.

You see, there's nothing there now.

Has there been any report

of a strange mound?

A cone-shaped structure?

Something recently formed?
