:49:02
Now, this is primarily
a warning device...
:49:04
but it's also capable of taking a charge
of thousands of volts of electricity...
:49:09
which we've been advised will repel
any form of marine life, if not kill it.
:49:13
Is there anything
I haven't touched on?
:49:17
You say the monster could attack us
in coastal waters...
:49:20
and that it's dangerous
to human life.
:49:22
What's being done
to attack it?
:49:23
ProfessorJoyce will tell you.
:49:26
Our first problem, of course,
is to locate the monster again.
:49:29
We're trying to do that now.
:49:33
Operations toJohn Carter.
:49:37
Have you seen anything yet?
Over.
:49:39
Nothing.
It's slow out here.
:49:41
Over.
:49:43
Prof. Carter, this is Lt. Adams.
Where are you? Over.
:49:46
Patrolling coastal waters.
Over.
:49:49
What if you don't find anything?
Over.
:49:53
We'll find something. We've baited
the surface out here with dead shark.
:49:57
The beast will come up to eat.
:49:59
We've got several hundred planes
watching for it in relay.
:50:02
We'll find it, all right.
Over.
:50:04
What'll you do when that happens?
Bomb it from the air? Over.
:50:08
No, we've decided not to.
:50:11
We have reason to think its destruction
must be complete and instantaneous.
:50:15
We risk complete failure with
a near miss, or if we merely wound it.
:50:19
The monster has only
one vulnerable spot, one fatal target...
:50:23
its brain.
:50:25
We're going to try to take advantage
of that in a certain way.
:50:29
Put ProfessorJoyce back on.
Over.
:50:33
Go ahead, John Carter.
Over.
:50:35
Leslie, take the newsmen down
to the San Francisco Navy Yard...
:50:39
and show them the weapon.
:50:40
That's all for now.
Stand by, Operations. Over and out.
