Doctor Tyler stop a case
of Strickler's for six months.
:06:06
Doctor Susan Tyler.
:06:07
Professor of Entomology
at the New York State University.
:06:12
Thank you, Peter.
:06:15
I don't think I need to
tell you New Yorkers
:06:17
just how resilient
the common cockroach is.
:06:20
Since it has proven to
be virtually immune to chemical control.
:06:24
We had to find a new avenue
of attack.
:06:26
So, with the aid of genetics labs
across the country.
:06:31
We recombined termite
and mantid DNA to create a counter agent
:06:37
a new species
to be our six-legged ally
:06:40
in wiping out
the roach population.
:06:44
We call it the "Judas" breed.
:06:48
Once in contact
with the Judas' secretions.
:06:52
The common roaches were infected
with an enzyme.
:06:56
- Come on, Susan. You're missing it.
- The common roaches ate,
:07:00
every last member of
the nest starved to death within hours.
:07:05
Hope someone's taping this.
:07:08
This announcement's been
a long time coming,
:07:10
ladies and gentlemen.
:07:11
The Strickler's outbreak has
officially been contained.
:07:15
The epidemic is over.
:07:16
Hey, Susan. Honey?
:07:20
Doctor Mann? What did
this victory mean to you personally?
:07:25
Our fifteen minutes are gone.
:07:29
And personally,
it's where I met my wife.
:07:33
What is this? Is this
some kind of Catholic guilt thing?
:07:37
We don't even know
what the impact is of what we did
:07:40
The impact is.
:07:42
There are gonna be a lot of
kids next year because of you.
:07:46
A lot of kids.
Maybe we get lucky.
:07:51
Maybe a couple of
them'll be ours someday.
:07:53
Oh, a couple, huh?
:07:55
Oh, okay? We're not.
:07:57
I didn't want to overtax you.
It's been a hard year.
