:21:34
Here, gentlemen,
is your villain.
:21:37
It'd take an enormous number of those
to disable a Navy submarine.
:21:41
Or just one of enormous size,
Mr. Chase.
:21:43
There's a spuid on exhibit in the
American Muzeum of Natural History...
:21:46
just under 100 feet in length.
:21:48
It came from the waters
off the coast of Maine.
:21:51
Our navy has never encountered
one of those marine monsters before.
:21:54
- How do you account for that?
- They only live at extreme depths.
:21:58
They almost never come up
unless they're disturbed.
:22:00
Disturbed? By what?
:22:02
Hydrogen bombs.
:22:04
H-bombs have been blamed for every
freak accident that's happened...
:22:07
since, up to and including
marine monsters being disturbed.
:22:11
Not disturbed, Mr. Chase.
Hungry.
:22:14
Six days ago we gave this fellow here
a radioactive meal.
:22:18
Not a fatal dose, however.
:22:21
Now, here is what he likes best...
:22:24
his regular diet of small fish.
:22:26
Now watch.
:22:32
Ordinarily cephalopods are not timid
about catching a good meal.
:22:37
This fellow seems to be
having difficulty, however.
:22:40
Why? We checked our answer
with Professor Imoto in Tokyo.
:22:44
He concurs.
:22:46
Some species of fish seem to be gifted
with their own natural geiger counter.
:22:50
So the giant fish's dinner knows
when it's coming and swims away?
:22:53
In that case,
he'd starve to death very puickly.
:22:56
Unless he finds
some other creature to live on.
:22:59
What creature, for instance?
