Meg Penny:
Sir, excuse me, but I think my little brother's over at the movie theatre on Main Street. Soldier Outside Town Hall:
We're doing by sector. We'll be there soon. Meg Penny:
Right, but you don't understand... Pharmacist:
We'll handle it okay, now get back in line. Pharmacist:
I don't see you handling much of anything... are you on a coffee break? Soldier Outside Town Hall:
[Now irritated]
Look mister Pharmacist:
[Snaps]
Don't you Look mister me... I'm a tax payer... I pay your salary... now what are you going to do about finding my son? Soldier Outside Town Hall:
[as her father argues with the soldier... Meg takes off into the crowd]

[Grudgingly]
I know

Sir, the organism is growing
at a geometric rate.
00:00:04.045 --> 00:00:07.995
By all accounts,
it's at least a thousand times its original mass.
00:00:08.001 --> 00:00:11.915
This'll put U.S. Defense
years ahead of the Russians.
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.253
You don't understand.
At this rate, by next week there may be no U.S.
00:00:16.337 --> 00:00:17.421
[Meddows]
Nonsense.
00:00:17.505 --> 00:00:19.756
All we have to do
is contain it properly.
00:00:19.841 --> 00:00:23.427
As far as the locals are concerned,
this is simply a medical quarantine.
00:00:23.511 --> 00:00:26.471
Nobody gets in or out.
00:00:33.855 --> 00:00:35.856
Dr. Meddows.
00:00:35.094 --> 00:00:39.234
Just for the record,
I don't agree with any of this.
00:00:39.319 --> 00:00:41.236
Those people's lives
are at stake.
00:00:41.321 --> 00:00:43.078
Don't you think I know that?
00:00:43.865 --> 00:00:47.367
This isn't one of
your textbook exercises, Mr. Jennings.
00:00:47.452 --> 00:00:52.247
This is an experiment
in biological warfare. Or hadn't you noticed?
00:00:52.332 --> 00:00:55.542
That organism is potentially
the greatest breakthrough in weapons research...
00:00:55.627 --> 00:00:57.628
since man split the atom.
00:00:57.712 --> 00:01:02.132
What we do here
will affect the balance of world power.
00:01:02.216 --> 00:01:05.001
Of course there are
lives at stake‒ whole nations, in fact.
00:01:05.345 --> 00:01:08.999
And that's far more important
than a handful of people in this small town.
00:01:10.007 --> 00:01:12.601
And that is my cross to bear,
00:01:12.685 --> 00:01:15.187
Mr. Jennings.
00:01:15.271 --> 00:01:17.999
Now, carry out your orders.
00:01:18.003 --> 00:01:20.651
Yes, sir.
00:01:20.735 --> 00:01:23.999
Colonel! Colonel,
we've got a sighting.
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.157
Hargis here.
00:01:27.241 --> 00:01:30.994
Colonel, we've got an eyewitness
who says the organism pursued some civilians into the sewers.
00:01:31.994 --> 00:01:34.247
It's got Kevin and Eddie
and Meg down there! You gotta do something!
00:01:34.999 --> 00:01:37.459
Excellent! We need a schematic
of the sewer system.
00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:40.754
We'll contain it down there.
I want that organism alive.
