WEBVTT 00:00:06.165 --> 00:00:13.485 There are still vast and virtually unexplored regions, bleak and desolate, 00:00:13.565 --> 00:00:18.945 where no human ever goes and no light is ever seen. 00:00:19.885 --> 00:00:24.165 It is as though the land had been posted by God. 00:00:24.285 --> 00:00:29.625 It is in these lonely areas of impenetrable forest 00:00:29.745 --> 00:00:34.905 and dark shadows that the Gila monster still lives. 00:00:36.145 --> 00:00:41.325 How large the dreaded Gila monster grows, no man can say. 00:00:42.655 --> 00:00:44.655 (music playing) 00:02:24.745 --> 00:02:26.685 Say, here come Gordy and Teddy! 00:02:36.145 --> 00:02:40.463 Hey, gang!

Spook will be charging you with an entertainment bank! 00:02:43.885 --> 00:02:46.125 He's charging for everything else! Hi, Spook! 00:02:46.245 --> 00:02:48.805 Hey, how are the new clocks on the bomb? 00:03:12.115 --> 00:03:15.361 Where's Pat and Liz? I thought we'd be the last ones here. They're probably out 00:03:15.481 --> 00:03:18.185 spooking around somewhere. Maybe they broke down. 00:03:18.305 --> 00:03:20.765 Not in his heat. I worked on it myself. 00:03:22.035 --> 00:03:26.285 That wouldn't make any difference if he goofed a speed shift or something. 00:03:26.405 --> 00:03:30.222 Yeah, and that squirrel is just the one that could do it. Oh, 00:03:30.825 --> 00:03:31.725 wonderful. 00:03:32.225 --> 00:03:33.912 What kept you so long, Lisa? 00:03:34.032 --> 00:03:37.646 Oh, Mr. Wheeler smoked two cigars at the table after dinner. 00:03:37.766 --> 00:03:42.646 And I could not get at the dishes until he was through. What time did that leave? 00:03:42.766 --> 00:03:46.923 Dad did not come home for dinner. That's why his father was so upset. 00:03:56.905 --> 00:03:59.205 That fella has a duel of a car. 00:04:00.405 --> 00:04:02.725 Well, luck, Yeah, well. 00:04:11.125 --> 00:04:16.865 Hey. Hello, hi. Hi. Hi, how are you doing? Yeah, hello. You want to sell that deuce? 00:04:19.956 --> 00:04:23.085 Why, you fellas are always after me to buy my car. 00:04:23.205 --> 00:04:26.209 That 32 is the ideal stock to convert to a bomb. 00:04:27.845 --> 00:04:32.538 Buying a car, son, is just like getting married. Or going to New York City. 00:04:33.085 --> 00:04:37.027 Everybody ought to do it once, but nobody ought to do it twice. 00:04:38.185 --> 00:04:40.688 Hey, I can get you a good price on that. 00:04:43.585 --> 00:04:48.265 Paid 695 dollars for that car 26 years ago. 10 years 00:04:48.385 --> 00:04:52.105 ago, wasn't worth a dime. Last month I turned down 100 00:04:52.225 --> 00:04:56.725 for it. When it gets back up to 695 again, I'll 00:04:56.845 --> 00:05:03.185 sell it. Hey, Spook, uh, give me a snort of that. 00:05:06.475 --> 00:05:09.947 Hey gang, you know this would be Lisa's first trip to a drive-in? 00:05:10.067 --> 00:05:12.785 Oh, we have drive -ins in France too. Yeah? 00:05:13.045 --> 00:05:16.487 Yes, I went twice with my brother on his motor scooter. 00:05:17.525 --> 00:05:23.725 On a motor scooter? Now that's my idea of absolutely nothing to do. Okay. 00:05:24.685 --> 00:05:27.501 Don't be too late. We're gonna pull the lamp. 00:05:28.545 --> 00:05:33.813 Hey Jake, if the road's clear, I'll drag you to Bartonelle's Corner. Oh, I can't. 00:05:33.933 --> 00:05:35.299 I'm driving barefoot. 00:05:35.885 --> 00:05:38.644 You still riding on that old rubber? Yeah. 00:05:38.694 --> 00:05:42.505 Hey, Spook, when Pat and Liz get here, will you tell them 00:05:42.625 --> 00:05:45.505 that we went to the drive-in and for them to catch up? 00:05:45.625 --> 00:05:49.845 Thank you. We sure will. And I'll give you 150 bucks. 00:05:51.025 --> 00:05:53.466 You're talking like my butcher switch. 00:05:55.325 --> 00:05:57.640 You think he's playing with, kids? 00:06:25.895 --> 00:06:29.484 Sheriff, what's the trouble, Mr. Wheeler? Pat didn't come home last night. 00:06:29.604 --> 00:06:32.881 He didn't? No, evidently it was out with Liz Humphreys. 00:06:33.001 --> 00:06:34.908 She didn't come home either. Oh? 00:06:35.845 --> 00:06:40.413 I want you to find out why. And don't leave a stone unturned in doing so. 00:06:40.585 --> 00:06:43.651 Do I make myself clear? I understand, Mr. Witter. 00:06:45.065 --> 00:06:47.881 There weren't any wrecks reported last night. 00:06:49.045 --> 00:06:52.362 Your son, Pat, he's about 19, isn't he? That's right. 00:06:53.105 --> 00:06:57.548 Just a year older than I was when I got married. You think they eloped? 00:06:58.105 --> 00:07:00.705 He wouldn't dare. I didn't say that. 00:07:00.825 --> 00:07:04.325 But if they were out together all night, you better hope they have. 00:07:04.445 --> 00:07:06.105 This is a missing persons report, 00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:08.302 and I want to know what you're going to do about it. 00:07:08.352 --> 00:07:11.567 Well, I'll send in an APB on both of them and the car. 00:07:11.617 --> 00:07:14.270 I don't think it'll do much good if they went out to get married. 00:07:14.345 --> 00:07:15.985 They'd already be across the state line. 00:07:16.105 --> 00:07:18.921 Well, if he got married, I'll wring his neck. 00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:23.205 You ask me, it's that Chase Winstead. He's older than the others. 00:07:23.325 --> 00:07:27.643 Sets them all wrong. Why, he's got more influence on Pat than I have. 00:07:27.763 --> 00:07:31.825 Chase Winstead does more about keeping them in line than getting them in trouble, 00:07:31.945 --> 00:07:32.685 and I know. 00:07:32.805 --> 00:07:34.085 He's supported his mother 00:07:34.205 --> 00:07:37.205 and sister ever since his dad died on one of your drill rings. 00:07:37.325 --> 00:07:40.165 Your son could take a page out of his book, Mr. Wheeler. 00:07:40.285 --> 00:07:43.405 When I get through with my son, he won't have a book left. 00:07:43.525 --> 00:07:45.905 Now you locate him or I'll have your job. 00:07:46.025 --> 00:07:48.845 If you want to be the only peace officer in 10,000 square miles 00:07:48.965 --> 00:07:51.906 and 1,000 miles of road, you're welcome to it. 00:07:53.805 --> 00:07:57.622 I'll do everything I can to locate both of them, Mr. Wheeler. 00:08:09.525 --> 00:08:10.425 Hi, Sheriff. 00:08:11.145 --> 00:08:12.045 Hi. 00:08:17.565 --> 00:08:19.067 Got a new set of wheels? 00:08:19.465 --> 00:08:20.685 Yeah, new to me. 00:08:21.112 --> 00:08:23.865 That Parker I had, I'd be chasing you boys 00:08:23.985 --> 00:08:25.625 on a bicycle in a couple of days. 00:08:25.745 --> 00:08:27.059 Oh, come on, Sheriff. 00:08:27.179 --> 00:08:30.665 Outside of Pat Wheeler, we haven't had a ticket in our gang in eight months. 00:08:30.785 --> 00:08:32.224 Oh, I was just kidding. 00:08:34.745 --> 00:08:39.945 What's the mileage on it? Oh, about $35,000. County bought it from the state. 00:08:40.425 --> 00:08:43.867 Those lucky stiffs on highway get a new car every year. 00:08:44.075 --> 00:08:46.845 Let me have it for a couple of days and I'll tune it up for you. 00:08:46.965 --> 00:08:50.305 Oh, you'd choke it up so I could never catch it. 00:08:50.525 --> 00:08:53.394 You couldn't catch that deuce of mine right now. 00:08:53.514 --> 00:08:55.785 Now, let me have that patrol car. car. 00:08:55.905 --> 00:09:00.148 I'll turn it into a slingshot that'll catch anything.

I'd know. 00:09:41.985 --> 00:09:45.236 Do you think they might have run off to get married? 00:09:45.415 --> 00:09:48.607 Well, they've been going steady for over a year now. 00:09:48.727 --> 00:09:51.166 And I know they talked about it, but... 00:09:51.665 --> 00:09:53.505 No, not like for right now. 00:09:54.265 --> 00:09:56.205 Did Pat have any money stashed? 00:09:58.685 --> 00:10:00.406 Yeah, some. Like how much? 00:10:00.526 --> 00:10:04.265 Well, he was talking about getting a new blower on the mill. 00:10:04.385 --> 00:10:09.485 That's about 500 bucks. Where did he get that kind of money? He saved it. 00:10:09.605 --> 00:10:13.842 His old man gives him a good allowance when he's not mad at him. 00:10:13.962 --> 00:10:15.385 What bank does he use? 00:10:16.185 --> 00:10:18.751 None. He's afraid his dad would find out. 00:10:19.155 --> 00:10:22.605 He could have been saving if he got married, couldn't he? 00:10:22.725 --> 00:10:26.605 It's his money. I guess he could do whatever he wants with it. 00:10:26.745 --> 00:10:31.285 But you know, if he eloped, his old man would put him down flat. 00:10:31.605 --> 00:10:36.799 I know, but Pat's smart enough to provide for himself until the old man cooled off. 00:10:39.275 --> 00:10:43.522 Pat's the only one of the gang I couldn't slow down. Did you check the hospital? 00:10:43.642 --> 00:10:44.542 Yeah. 00:10:44.985 --> 00:10:47.488 Where could I find the rest of the gang? 00:10:47.608 --> 00:10:51.605 Well, I don't know about Bob and Gordy, but Chuck and Rick went over to Easton. 00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:55.027 They wanted to check with the Wheelcats about next Saturday night's platter party. 00:10:55.077 --> 00:10:56.552 Next Saturday night?

How come you drove around the truck all night then? 00:11:40.375 --> 00:11:43.525 You don't think she might have eloped with you? Could be. 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.437 She's pretty close-mouthed about her affair. 00:11:45.487 --> 00:11:47.665 likes a Wheeler. Ain't marrying 00:11:47.785 --> 00:11:50.465 our type of folks.

It's hot. 00:12:48.509 --> 00:12:53.265 Wheeler's sinking another oil well and he's afraid of fire when it comes in. 00:12:53.385 --> 00:12:57.077 There's four quarts of nitroglycerin out there in that cab. 00:12:57.485 --> 00:13:00.614 He wants us to keep it out back in the storehouse. 00:13:01.577 --> 00:13:05.949 You know, last winter when number 21 came in, I made $100 for that stuff. 00:13:06.069 --> 00:13:08.765 Dad showed me how to use it. It's not so bad, 00:13:08.885 --> 00:13:10.922 as long as it doesn't get nervous. 00:13:11.115 --> 00:13:14.096 Well, I'm sorry I was so late getting getting back. 00:13:14.216 --> 00:13:18.050 But with that cargo, I was afraid to do over five miles an hour. 00:13:19.065 --> 00:13:22.695 Oh, it's not so dangerous as long as it's in a nitro case. 00:13:23.045 --> 00:13:25.110 But I took these out of the case. 00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:28.565 Holy smoke. You're lucky to be standing here talking about it. 00:13:28.685 --> 00:13:30.187 I'll put it in the shed. 00:13:43.517 --> 00:13:45.568 What's your action this afternoon? 00:13:45.688 --> 00:13:49.971 The sheriff got a new patrol car. We'll get a tune -up job out of that. 00:13:50.091 --> 00:13:51.840 Is that nitro safe out there? 00:13:52.745 --> 00:13:55.999 Well, if it decides to blow, it's not safe anywhere. 00:14:00.485 --> 00:14:04.005 I'll get it. That's not our range. No, it's the sheriff's. 00:14:04.125 --> 00:14:07.134 If there's been a wreck, I get a tow job out of it. 00:14:07.254 --> 00:14:10.676 I also have a deal with the ambulance that someone's hurt. 00:14:10.796 --> 00:14:14.888 You work all the angles, don't you, Chase? Hey, Mr. Compton, I have to. 00:14:17.945 --> 00:14:19.225 Hello, Sheriff? Yes. 00:14:20.045 --> 00:14:25.025 About 12 miles out beyond the red schoolhouse, a car has run into the ditch. 00:14:26.025 --> 00:14:27.902 Yeah, it's a pretty bad wreck. 00:14:28.445 --> 00:14:32.625 What kind of a car? It's a sedan, a Pontiac, I believe. 00:14:33.682 --> 00:14:36.185 Someone could have been hurt pretty bad. 00:14:36.305 --> 00:14:40.873 Maybe she could get out there pretty quick. Did you stop and investigate? 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:49.017 There's been a wreck 12 miles out of town. Where's the wrecker? Hall, I use 00:14:49.137 --> 00:14:53.114 the A-frame to build a doggone rock garden. Look, you take your car 00:14:53.234 --> 00:14:57.090 and keep the city records off. I'll get our record and follow you. 00:15:20.096 --> 00:15:23.225 I wondered who was on that party line a while ago. 00:15:23.345 --> 00:15:25.223 Well, it cost me to get on that line with you. 00:15:25.325 --> 00:15:29.245 I figured since it was on your call station anyway, you wouldn't care. Yeah. 00:15:29.365 --> 00:15:31.368 That's a pretty good one. Yeah. 00:15:34.345 --> 00:15:35.907 This engine's still warm. 00:15:36.315 --> 00:15:38.590 Say, did you see the skid marks out here? 00:15:38.710 --> 00:15:42.397 They go at a direct right angle to the direction of travel. 00:15:43.425 --> 00:15:46.965 Yeah.

Twice. 00:16:45.552 --> 00:16:48.330 But the first time it was just a suggestion. 00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:49.965 Seal beam only costs $4. 00:16:51.045 --> 00:16:55.025 Well, I had some unexpected expenses. Oh? Missy? 00:16:55.145 --> 00:16:59.385 Yeah, the doctor said she'd be able to start walking again pretty soon. 00:16:59.505 --> 00:17:03.611 And took all the money I had to make a part -down payment on her braces. 00:17:07.905 --> 00:17:10.721 You know, I think this is a complete washout. 00:17:11.465 --> 00:17:13.593 You've probably got a screwdriver. 00:17:15.365 --> 00:17:19.745 I don't think the insurance company has missed one of those headlamps. 00:18:33.468 --> 00:18:34.845 I got the whole story. 00:18:34.965 --> 00:18:38.725 The car was stolen out of state, and the plates were stolen in state. 00:18:38.845 --> 00:18:42.865 So whoever stole it had beat it, hurt or not, as long as they could navigate. 00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:45.062 Well, is there anything else I can do here, Sheriff? 00:18:45.112 --> 00:18:48.675 If not, I'll get this on back to the garage. No, go ahead. 00:18:48.945 --> 00:18:50.885 Chase, will you give me a hand? 00:18:51.005 --> 00:18:55.165 I want to take some pictures of those skin marks. You stand by them for a scale. 00:18:55.285 --> 00:18:57.100 Sure, glad to, Sheriff. Good. 00:19:35.405 --> 00:19:37.595 I don't know, Sheriff. Take a look. 00:19:38.125 --> 00:19:41.817 Just sitting here. Probably fell off the car. No scratches 00:19:41.937 --> 00:19:44.443 on it. Well, maybe it landed in the bush. 00:19:46.175 --> 00:19:48.847 Now, as thin as that imitation leather is, even a bush 00:19:48.967 --> 00:19:51.543 should take some of it off. Was it just like 00:19:51.663 --> 00:19:56.218 that when you found it? Yeah, straight up. Probably belonged to some hitchhiker. 00:19:56.338 --> 00:20:01.131 Or it might have belonged to the fellow that stole that car and wrecked it. 00:20:07.525 --> 00:20:09.385 Say, look at this. 00:20:16.305 --> 00:20:19.665 Half a pack of cigarettes, one unlit. 00:20:25.085 --> 00:20:29.641 That suitcase don't belong to any car thief. He was around here too long. 00:20:29.815 --> 00:20:32.757 I'll take it in. I'll put it in the car for you. 00:20:32.877 --> 00:20:37.371 Somebody will be around to claim it. See you later, son. Right, Sheriff. 00:21:36.815 --> 00:21:39.367 Hey, what's with the code, Bill? I got your phone call. 00:21:39.487 --> 00:21:44.065 When I was serving dinner to Mr. Willow, he became very angry. He said 00:21:44.185 --> 00:21:47.917 if I saw you again, he would have me sent back to France. He can't 00:21:48.037 --> 00:21:51.965 do that. Oh, yes, he can. He's my sponsor. He put up the bond 00:21:52.085 --> 00:21:56.165 that was to guarantee that you wouldn't become a ward of the state. 00:21:56.285 --> 00:21:58.559 Now, we don't have to worry about that. 00:21:58.679 --> 00:22:01.645 You know how to speak English well enough to get a job anywhere. 00:22:01.765 --> 00:22:05.665 It doesn't seem right for me to go out with you. What's the matter, boss? Nothing 00:22:05.785 --> 00:22:06.685 Nothing. 00:22:07.685 --> 00:22:11.252 I don't want to go away, Chief. You won't have to, honey. 00:22:11.712 --> 00:22:14.465 You think it's your fault that Pat ran away? 00:22:14.585 --> 00:22:17.985 Well, he can think whatever he wants to think. He shouldn't take it out on you. 00:22:18.105 --> 00:22:19.005 you. 00:22:20.465 --> 00:22:25.725 But we had better take any chances. You go back inside and look. Don't worry. 00:22:26.405 --> 00:22:28.282 Everything's going to be okay. 00:22:58.985 --> 00:23:01.585 You all right? All right. 00:23:04.925 --> 00:23:11.725 Dad, I'm superb. Seven to a box, no corners. I'm a roundhouse. 00:23:12.635 --> 00:23:15.605 Sorry I asked, Mr., uh... Smith.

Oh, no, no, no. 00:23:24.705 --> 00:23:28.905 There was this big pink and black thing drove right in front of me. 00:23:29.025 --> 00:23:31.331 It had stripes this wide.

Who knows, man, we could... 00:23:49.965 --> 00:23:52.305 Hey, man, you can't drive this car. 00:23:53.005 --> 00:23:54.695 Fender's cutting the wheel. 00:23:55.037 --> 00:23:59.105 Sure I can. The motor works, see? But thanks for everything, Dad. 00:23:59.225 --> 00:24:01.228 You're a cotton -picking prince. 00:24:04.365 --> 00:24:07.181 Okay, just a second.

Um, Chase Winstead. 00:26:24.345 --> 00:26:27.505 to chase, and I, uh, by golly, how much I owe you. 00:26:27.625 --> 00:26:30.165 Well, I bent the fender out from the wheel. 00:26:30.285 --> 00:26:33.003 Want me to fill it in and touch it up for you? 00:26:33.123 --> 00:26:37.516 No, I don't think so.

How about the tow? 00:26:49.758 --> 00:26:54.774 No, I was coming this way anyway. I missed out on a little studying time. Make 00:26:54.894 --> 00:26:57.204 it three bucks, Dad. You go to school? 00:26:57.324 --> 00:27:00.822 Sort of. I take a correspondence course in engineering. 00:27:01.524 --> 00:27:04.465 Well, look, I really feel indebted to you, and I'd 00:27:04.585 --> 00:27:06.945 like to do something to pay you back. Now, next time 00:27:07.065 --> 00:27:08.905 you're in the town, there's my card. Look me up, 00:27:09.025 --> 00:27:12.185 will you? All right, will do. Okay, on, by the way, 00:27:15.725 --> 00:27:19.063 buy yourself a sponge rubber hammer, man. All 00:27:19.183 --> 00:27:22.365 right, I will. I'll see you, Chase. Thank you. 00:27:27.325 --> 00:27:31.485 Steamroller Smith, the disc jockey. Mr. Smith. 00:27:38.625 --> 00:27:41.205 Twenties! How about that? 00:27:53.216 --> 00:27:56.614 Sheriff. Howdy, son. Have you heard anything from Pat 00:27:56.734 --> 00:28:00.085 and Liz? No, nothing. Chase, I'm in a jam, 00:28:00.205 --> 00:28:03.875 and I need your help. Wheeler swings a big enough stick 00:28:03.995 --> 00:28:07.460 in this country to make it rough, and he's doing it. 00:28:07.580 --> 00:28:10.385 All I can understand is concern about Pat, 00:28:10.505 --> 00:28:14.611 but I just don't have a big enough force to comb this area inch by inch. 00:28:15.065 --> 00:28:16.379 Is he demanding that? 00:28:16.535 --> 00:28:21.728 There was a man killed in a wreck in a small canyon in a big city last year, 00:28:21.848 --> 00:28:24.245 and it took him 19 days to find him. 00:28:24.385 --> 00:28:28.077 I don't know what they expect of me. Yeah, I remember that. 00:28:29.405 --> 00:28:33.584 Look, Sheriff, maybe I can get tomorrow off and I'll get the gang 00:28:33.704 --> 00:28:35.385 and we can go out and search that pass. 00:28:35.505 --> 00:28:38.145 At least you can put that in your report. I was hoping you'd say 00:28:38.265 --> 00:28:40.245 that. I can start at the upper end 00:28:40.365 --> 00:28:43.685 and work towards you. Uh, can I have your help in another 00:28:43.805 --> 00:28:47.855 matter? Sure. What? Do you remember how those skid marks just went 00:28:47.975 --> 00:28:50.265 at right angles the direction the car was traveling? 00:28:50.385 --> 00:28:53.665 That's right, they did. Headquarters think I'm nuts. Well, 00:28:53.785 --> 00:28:56.105 then they're nuts. Didn't, didn't you send them 00:28:56.225 --> 00:29:00.018 that picture? Well, I'm not the world's greatest photographer. 00:29:00.138 --> 00:29:03.288 Pictures didn't come out. Can't see the skid marks 00:29:03.408 --> 00:29:06.237 on the blacktop up. Well, that's what happened. 00:29:06.357 --> 00:29:09.378 I even wiped up the rubber dust with my fingers. 00:29:09.498 --> 00:29:12.445 You might have to sign a statement to that effect 00:29:12.565 --> 00:29:14.815 for me. You got it. Look, you can even 00:29:14.935 --> 00:29:16.625 see the bald spots on the tires 00:29:16.745 --> 00:29:20.281 where they went sideways. Yeah, that's the spot, all right. 00:29:20.401 --> 00:29:24.045 But there's another thing that puzzles me. Yeah? 00:29:24.165 --> 00:29:27.945 What? How those tires got off of that car 00:29:28.065 --> 00:29:33.005 and almost on yours. Well, look, on this wreck 00:29:33.125 --> 00:29:36.865 they And on my rod they can prevent a blowout, 00:29:37.005 --> 00:29:38.444 maybe even an accident. 00:29:41.052 --> 00:29:43.317 Well, take good care of them in case 00:29:43.437 --> 00:29:46.205 the owner shows up. Right. See you tomorrow. 00:29:46.705 --> 00:29:47.605 Right. 00:30:05.455 --> 00:30:09.234 Let's call it a day. We've covered half the roads in this county. 00:30:09.354 --> 00:30:10.254 Yeah. 00:30:10.855 --> 00:30:14.652 How about that ravine? That runs along here for about eight miles. 00:30:14.772 --> 00:30:17.879 We'll start from here and you come from the other end. 00:30:17.999 --> 00:30:18.899 All right. 00:30:20.005 --> 00:30:20.905 Right. 00:31:18.945 --> 00:31:21.135 It sure is beached out around here. 00:31:22.765 --> 00:31:25.005 Look at that. What is it, Shane? 00:31:25.125 --> 00:31:28.902 Looks like an animal of some sort drug something along here. 00:31:29.022 --> 00:31:33.518 You mean a wild animal here? Sure, could be anything, even a mountain lion. 00:31:34.565 --> 00:31:35.585 Oh, come on. 00:32:14.785 --> 00:32:18.164 Thirsty? Yes, but haven't we gone far enough, Chase? 00:32:22.581 --> 00:32:27.772 Ooh, that's bitter. Must have an awful lot of mineral in it. Come on, let's go. 00:32:27.892 --> 00:32:33.345 Oh, wait a minute. Let's take a breather first. Chet, I... I don't like this place. 00:32:33.545 --> 00:32:37.925 Let's go back. Are you afraid? Now you come on over here with me. 00:32:57.265 --> 00:33:00.206 Let's go, I found something, come on, let's go. 00:33:10.205 --> 00:33:12.944 It's Pat's car at the bottom of the wash. Two 00:33:13.064 --> 00:33:16.612 or three miles back by the old reservoir Were they in it? 00:33:17.465 --> 00:33:18.365 No, nothing 00:33:20.465 --> 00:33:23.969 Uh, drive me back to my car and I'll bring up the record 00:33:42.145 --> 00:33:46.445 I wonder what that was. Oh, probably just a little rock flat. 00:33:47.405 --> 00:33:51.145 For some reason, this place gives me the creep. It always has. 00:33:58.265 --> 00:34:01.985 Lisa, turn the motor on. The winch is already engaged. 00:34:02.465 --> 00:34:05.465 Now, if I yell, turn the key off. Okay. 00:34:16.685 --> 00:34:18.225 Okay, go ahead. 00:34:23.765 --> 00:34:24.665 Go ahead. 00:34:27.445 --> 00:34:28.571 Give it some more. 00:34:30.205 --> 00:34:31.405 Okay, keep going. 00:34:32.645 --> 00:34:33.545 Keep going. 00:34:41.725 --> 00:34:44.185 Keep it going! 00:34:45.845 --> 00:34:47.910 Keep it going, you're doing fine. 00:34:56.445 --> 00:34:58.925 Atta girl, atta girl, keep it going. 00:35:12.625 --> 00:35:13.905 You did fine, honey. 00:35:14.845 --> 00:35:17.162 A little beat up, but it's all right. 00:35:17.282 --> 00:35:21.603 Yeah. We'll meet you back at the garage, okay? Okay, let's go, Jenny. 00:36:12.965 --> 00:36:16.125 Where did you find it? By the reservoir 00:36:16.245 --> 00:36:20.005 and Williams Wash. They weren't in it? No sign of blood 00:36:20.125 --> 00:36:23.545 or anything. You know, I think they were thrown clear. Did you search 00:36:23.665 --> 00:36:26.625 the area? Yeah. Gordon, Gordy went down the ravine for about a mile, 00:36:26.745 --> 00:36:29.785 and we looked beyond the wreck for a couple hundred yards. 00:36:29.905 --> 00:36:31.685 Wouldn't you say, Gordy? At least 00:36:31.805 --> 00:36:34.746 that far. Did you see any footprints? No, none. 00:36:37.453 --> 00:36:41.041 This thing's bent around just about the same as that sedan. 00:36:41.161 --> 00:36:44.323 Like it had been hit with a 10-ton rubber mallet. 00:36:44.443 --> 00:36:48.761 It's a pretty rough trip down that cliff, but could have done it. Yeah. 00:36:48.881 --> 00:36:51.496 I'll have to go over that area with a rake. 00:36:52.885 --> 00:36:55.445 You know, I've been thinking, if, if Liz 00:36:55.565 --> 00:36:58.985 and Pat had a eloped, they wouldn't have taken his car. His old man, 00:36:59.105 --> 00:37:02.545 Old Man Wheeler'd have it traced right off, what, well maybe he stored it, Chase 00:37:02.665 --> 00:37:05.625 and then it was stolen? Yeah, if it was stolen 00:37:05.745 --> 00:37:08.605 and somebody parked it there. Well, the brakes could have faded 00:37:08.725 --> 00:37:11.985 and it rolled off the edge. It'd be a strange coincidence 00:37:12.105 --> 00:37:16.185 if they came back to this part of the county. Possibility makes some sense, 00:37:16.305 --> 00:37:19.371 though. I'll get my gear and dust for fingerprints. 00:37:21.055 --> 00:37:24.725 Cash, I wish you boys would have called me before you drug it out. 00:37:24.845 --> 00:37:28.913 I might have found some clues to help us out. I'm sorry, Sheriff. 00:37:30.865 --> 00:37:34.285 The hard part's telling Mr. Witter.

Will you take me over? Well, 00:53:34.625 --> 00:53:38.207 I don't know, Missy. Gosh, that's two or three miles out of my way. 00:53:40.745 --> 00:53:46.665 Oh, sure, we will Chase, what in the world have you done to that car of yours? 00:53:46.785 --> 00:53:48.665 It's a new fuel mixture, you like it? 00:53:48.785 --> 00:53:52.005 I just barely touched the gas pedal and the back wheel started to spin. 00:53:52.125 --> 00:53:53.945 While I was two blocks down the road 00:53:54.065 --> 00:53:56.065 before I even knew I'd left home Come on, Mom, 00:53:56.185 --> 00:53:59.126 I'm just trying to make a hot rodder out of you. 00:53:59.665 --> 00:54:00.565 Okay 00:54:03.085 --> 00:54:07.025 Hello. Yeah, hello, Sheriff. A what? 00:54:08.765 --> 00:54:13.145 Book on reptiles? Yeah, I guess I still have it around here somewhere. 00:54:14.405 --> 00:54:15.305 Yeah, sure. 00:54:15.712 --> 00:54:18.369 I have to take Missy over by the Blackwells. 00:54:18.489 --> 00:54:20.845 I'll stop by on my way to pick up Lisa. 00:54:20.965 --> 00:54:21.865 Okay? 00:54:24.635 --> 00:54:27.265 Well, now I'm going to tell you something you don't know. 00:54:27.385 --> 00:54:29.450 I've been talking to a zoologist. 00:54:30.300 --> 00:54:34.318 And the Halo monster's size is controlled, like everything else, 00:54:34.438 --> 00:54:37.200 by a sort of a thyroid or a pituitary gland. 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:41.464 Sometimes a change in diet can throw the balance all out of whack. 00:54:41.584 --> 00:54:45.225 Either the cells break down too fast or build up too slow. 00:54:45.745 --> 00:54:49.445 And this upset makes either ruts or giants out of them. 00:54:50.105 --> 00:54:53.422 Good, but what's that mean to me? I'm coming to that. 00:54:54.045 --> 00:54:56.748 The zoologist also told me about a doctor 00:54:56.868 --> 00:55:01.153 who just found the bones of some huge animals down in Tanganyika. 00:55:01.845 --> 00:55:05.985 And the theory was that they lived in kind of river delta country. 00:55:06.105 --> 00:55:08.837 And certain salts had washed into the valley, 00:55:08.957 --> 00:55:10.657 been absorbed by the plants, 00:55:10.777 --> 00:55:14.407 and then transferred to the animals, causing them to be giants. 00:55:17.145 --> 00:55:19.605 Hmm. Are we right? Yeah, I know. 00:55:19.725 --> 00:55:22.487 I probably sound a little bit like Harris, 00:55:22.607 --> 00:55:25.409 but let me tell the whole thing in my own words. 00:55:25.806 --> 00:55:28.997 There was another report out of Russia or the Ukraine. 00:55:29.117 --> 00:55:32.985 It was in the paper a couple of months ago. Maybe you saw it. What? 00:55:33.105 --> 00:55:35.232 About a baby that weighed 130 pounds 00:55:35.352 --> 00:55:38.812 when it was 10 months old and was taller than its mother? 00:55:39.685 --> 00:55:44.253 Grew up to be a giant. Yeah, and that same thing could happen right here. 00:55:45.645 --> 00:55:49.024 Did you see any footprints around any of those wrecks? 00:55:49.465 --> 00:55:50.365 No. 00:55:51.425 --> 00:55:57.485 Gila monster footprints? Yeah, a big one, about the size of a bus. Oh, come on. 00:55:57.605 --> 00:56:00.785 Are you serious? Well, I don't know. 00:56:01.615 --> 00:56:04.266 But Harris saw it, and some of the survivors 00:56:04.386 --> 00:56:05.845 of the train wreck saw it. 00:56:05.965 --> 00:56:07.718 A giant lizard. Train wreck? 00:56:07.838 --> 00:56:10.885 Where? At the bridge over Wilson's Wash. When? 00:56:11.405 --> 00:56:13.165 Tonight, about an hour ago. 00:56:13.545 --> 00:56:17.988 The troopers were inclined to pass it off as shock or optical illusion. 00:56:18.245 --> 00:56:20.873 You can't always believe what Harris said. 00:56:22.025 --> 00:56:23.145 A Gila monster. 00:56:24.005 --> 00:56:25.444 Pink and black stripes. 00:56:26.755 --> 00:56:29.245 You know, I towed a guy in the other day, 00:56:29.365 --> 00:56:32.845 and he said he'd been forced off the road by something like that. 00:56:32.965 --> 00:56:35.969 I didn't believe him because he'd been drinking. 00:56:36.225 --> 00:56:39.604 And another thing, when we were looking for Pat's car, 00:56:40.225 --> 00:56:43.416 we saw where something had been drug down the wash. 00:56:43.709 --> 00:56:46.525 You know, if they could have gotten that big, 00:56:46.645 --> 00:56:50.275 they could have knocked Mr. Compton's truck off that road. 00:56:51.505 --> 00:56:52.882 Could have gotten him. 00:56:57.618 --> 00:56:58.938 I shouldn't have told you. 00:56:58.988 --> 00:57:01.324 I told you about this until after the party. 00:57:01.374 --> 00:57:03.303 but I just thought you'd want to know. 00:57:03.845 --> 00:57:06.098 Hadn't we better warn everybody? No. 00:57:06.425 --> 00:57:08.785 It operates on and around the wash. 00:57:08.905 --> 00:57:11.145 Troopers have got that staked out for a couple 00:57:11.265 --> 00:57:13.405 of miles. Just keep it to yourself. 00:57:13.525 --> 00:57:14.839 It might cause panic. 00:57:15.545 --> 00:57:17.548 Okay, Sheriff, whatever you say. 00:57:18.630 --> 00:57:22.479 Come and forget it for now and have some fun, will you, boy? 00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:23.499 Yeah. 00:57:45.805 --> 00:57:48.996 All right, hold it. Hold it, all you jumping beans. 00:57:50.225 --> 00:57:54.065 Now, I got a surprise for you. We got the king of the DJs. 00:57:55.645 --> 00:58:00.265 Now, you've all heard him on his platter show on KILT. That's right! 00:58:08.750 --> 00:58:13.005 Okay, your old dad here has some small words and some great records. 00:58:13.125 --> 00:58:14.545 I want you to have a ball tonight. 00:58:14.665 --> 00:58:18.445 Let's begin with one of the top kilt survey songs. What do you say now? 00:58:18.565 --> 00:58:20.645 Let's everybody dance. Here we go! 00:58:20.765 --> 00:58:22.017 Let's go, everybody! 00:58:43.965 --> 00:58:47.965 Now, do you mind telling me what this is all about? 00:58:48.305 --> 00:58:51.809 Have you been down to the train wreck? No. Well, I have. 00:58:52.645 --> 00:58:55.211 I talked to a trooper about my son's car. 00:58:55.512 --> 00:58:57.765 He said it shouldn't have been moved 00:58:57.885 --> 00:58:59.925 until a thorough investigation had been made 00:59:00.045 --> 00:59:01.860 and it had been photographed. 00:59:03.205 --> 00:59:05.333 This wasn't done, was it, Sheriff? 00:59:06.445 --> 00:59:07.665 I thought not. 00:59:08.905 --> 00:59:11.909 It was removed and clues lost without authority. 00:59:12.845 --> 00:59:16.162 You didn't put that in your report, did you, Sheriff? 00:59:16.305 --> 00:59:19.371 Of course you didn't, and I'll tell you why. Why? 00:59:19.685 --> 00:59:22.126 You were protecting that Chase Winstead. 00:59:23.845 --> 00:59:27.725 Covering him regardless of the effect it might have on others. 00:59:28.185 --> 00:59:31.565 Chase was only trying to help. He's your son's friend. 00:59:31.685 --> 00:59:33.813 Probably the best one he ever had. 00:59:34.338 --> 00:59:37.929 Of course it wasn't in the report. What good would it do? 00:59:38.049 --> 00:59:41.325 Any kid can make a mistake, Mr. Wheeler. Even yours. 00:59:41.765 --> 00:59:45.265 But Sheriff, it's my son that's missing. 00:59:47.585 --> 00:59:49.462 Let me ask you something else. 00:59:50.625 --> 00:59:53.629 Have you heard the reports about a giant lizard? 00:59:54.945 --> 00:59:56.197 Do you believe them? 00:59:57.131 --> 01:00:00.785 I don't know, Mr. Wheeler. It doesn't seem possible. 01:00:00.905 --> 01:00:04.535 Well, why not? There have been giants before. That's true. 01:00:04.655 --> 01:00:08.025 But how could anything that big go unnoticed in this area? 01:00:08.145 --> 01:00:11.345 Have you ever walked the length of Williams Wash? No. 01:00:11.465 --> 01:00:13.345 Do you know anybody that has? No. 01:00:13.465 --> 01:00:18.105 That area is so choked with underbrush it isn't even good hunting ground, 01:00:18.225 --> 01:00:22.265 and I say it is possible for a giant lizard to have lived 01:00:22.385 --> 01:00:29.225 there for years without being seen. Now, if that is the case 01:00:31.485 --> 01:00:32.625 My son's dead. 01:00:34.865 --> 01:00:35.985 So is Compton. 01:00:37.352 --> 01:00:40.097 I can't blame you for what's happened to Pat, 01:00:40.217 --> 01:00:44.772 but Compton's death is on your hands. How did you come to that conclusion? 01:00:44.892 --> 01:00:49.322 I'll tell you how. His truck was found only two miles beyond Pat's car. 01:00:49.442 --> 01:00:52.374 And if you'd investigated that area thoroughly, 01:00:52.494 --> 01:00:55.614 as you're paid to do, Compton might not have died. 01:00:57.585 --> 01:01:01.277 Well, now come out here. I want to show you something else. 01:01:04.575 --> 01:01:08.618 Now something may have hit this car, but it didn't take the tires off. 01:01:08.738 --> 01:01:14.142 And where did those new white side walls on Chase Winstead's hot rod come from? 01:01:14.262 --> 01:01:16.973 Here I guess. There was a towing charge against him. 01:01:16.974 --> 01:01:19.165 He presumed the bill wouldn't be paid, 01:01:19.285 --> 01:01:20.725 so he borrowed the tires 01:01:20.845 --> 01:01:24.733 in the meantime. Perhaps that's thievery, destroying evidence, 01:01:24.853 --> 01:01:29.730 instructing justice. Now, your last official act of office will be to arrest 01:01:29.850 --> 01:01:32.345 that boy and bring him in, and I'll go 01:01:32.465 --> 01:01:35.556 along to make sure I'm sure that it's done. 01:02:19.985 --> 01:02:24.445 Hey, kids, a fellow dropped in over at KILT the other day 01:02:24.565 --> 01:02:27.065 and played me a great new song. 01:02:27.140 --> 01:02:29.344 I thought it was just fine. I want to play it for you. 01:02:29.394 --> 01:02:33.165 We got a little pickup group together and cut a demo disc on it. 01:02:33.240 --> 01:02:36.265 I want to play it for you now and see what you think about it. By the way, 01:02:36.345 --> 01:02:39.225 the first person who identifies the singer on the record 01:02:39.345 --> 01:02:42.705 gets two free rides on my elephant in Bangkok, Siam. 01:02:45.205 --> 01:02:48.647 But you've got to pay your own way over there and back. 01:02:49.065 --> 01:02:54.045 Okay, here it is. Now see what you think of it. I'll never promise not to stray 01:02:56.485 --> 01:03:00.065 'Cause, baby, I'm made thataway. Hey, great. 01:03:01.105 --> 01:03:03.905 No, they aren't made a better way 01:03:06.965 --> 01:03:10.025 But it's been made in our design 01:03:12.065 --> 01:03:15.085 Well, I can give you gold and fine 01:03:17.105 --> 01:03:20.145 Yes, I can give you gold and fine 01:03:27.035 --> 01:03:30.985 Get out your tar and feathers yet. I'm going to play the rest of it. 01:03:31.105 --> 01:03:32.732 How do you like it? Great! 01:03:33.405 --> 01:03:39.065 Okay, who's the singer? Elvis. One of the everlastings. Bill Darnell. Kate Smith. 01:03:40.445 --> 01:03:41.974 Very funny, but you lose. 01:03:42.094 --> 01:03:46.253 Look, the same guy you're singing on the record also wrote the song. 01:03:46.373 --> 01:03:48.453 Now, who is it? Does anybody know? 01:03:50.285 --> 01:03:51.265 Okay, okay, okay. 01:03:51.385 --> 01:03:54.368 It's going to come out on records in a couple of months, 01:03:54.488 --> 01:03:56.566 and you can find his name on the label. 01:03:56.686 --> 01:03:57.586 Oh! 01:03:58.645 --> 01:04:04.465 I know who it is! Who? Who is it, Lisa? Come on, tell us. 01:04:05.105 --> 01:04:10.542 Sam did it! You did it, Chase! Why didn't you say something? You didn't tell us. 01:04:10.662 --> 01:04:14.740 Well, I didn't know there was anything I'd want to admit to. 01:04:15.025 --> 01:04:18.485 Come on up here, boy. Come on, boy. Come on. 01:04:24.995 --> 01:04:28.387 Also, over at the station the other day, Chase played me another little song. 01:04:28.437 --> 01:04:30.068 It's kind of different from this one, 01:04:30.118 --> 01:04:32.144 but I imagine with a little coaxing, you know, 01:04:32.194 --> 01:04:33.736 by hitting your hands together like 01:04:33.786 --> 01:04:36.606 this, he might give you a little preview of it. What do you say? 01:04:46.345 --> 01:04:54.345 And the Lord said, Let children laugh, the Lord said, let 01:04:54.805 --> 01:05:00.945 Laugh, The Lord said laugh, children laugh the Lord said laugh, children laugh. 01:05:29.085 --> 01:05:36.085 And the Lord said, laugh, children laugh, the Lord said, laugh, children laugh, 01:05:36.885 --> 01:05:42.665 the Lord said, laugh, children laugh, the Lord said, laugh, laugh, laugh. 01:05:42.905 --> 01:05:45.846 I think the Lord said you should buy me a coat. 01:05:46.555 --> 01:05:50.505 Children laughed, the Lord said laugh. Get your ass down there! 01:05:50.625 --> 01:05:54.485 Children, laugh, the Lord said, laugh, children, laugh, 01:05:54.605 --> 01:05:58.785 the Lord said laugh Laugh, laugh And then the Lord, 01:05:58.905 --> 01:06:03.065 he said, I created for you A world of joy 01:06:03.185 --> 01:06:06.338 from out of the blue 01:06:11.525 --> 01:06:13.065 Go, go, Kenny! 01:07:13.710 --> 01:07:16.025 What will it take to stop that thing? 01:07:16.100 --> 01:07:19.120 I don't know, but I'm going down to the train wreck and get some troopers. 01:07:19.170 --> 01:07:22.205 If we pump enough lead into that thing, we may hit a vulnerable spot. 01:07:22.325 --> 01:07:25.885 We know you're going to have to give me a hand. But how? Keep these kids here. 01:07:26.005 --> 01:07:28.258 I don't want anybody roaming around. 01:07:30.205 --> 01:07:31.394 Where are we going? 01:07:32.665 --> 01:07:35.606 Storage shed. I've got an idea that might work. 01:07:40.905 --> 01:07:45.675 You've been after this. Now you've got it. You're deputized. Listen, kids, where's 01:07:45.795 --> 01:07:50.751 my deputy? You'll take your orders from him. Arrest anybody that tries to get away 01:07:52.775 --> 01:07:55.205 The sheriff says this is a place to stay, 01:07:55.325 --> 01:08:00.206 but we're not staying here. That's right. I'll have to arrest anyone that leaves. 01:08:19.765 --> 01:08:24.020 Now, you take these keys and wait inside the office till I get back. 01:08:34.815 --> 01:08:38.225 I told you to wait inside. Why don't you do what I tell you? 01:08:38.345 --> 01:08:42.465 I haven't got much time. You're not going to leave me, Chess. I'm going to help. 01:08:42.585 --> 01:08:44.275 Do you know what's in here? 01:08:44.395 --> 01:08:47.705 Nitroglycerin, enough to blow up half this town. It doesn't matter. 01:08:47.825 --> 01:08:49.327 I'm still going to help. 01:08:50.665 --> 01:08:54.545 All right. Now take these, hold them, and don't let them bump. 01:08:54.665 --> 01:08:57.168 And for heaven's sakes, don't drop them. 01:09:02.465 --> 01:09:04.465 (music playing) 01:09:08.525 --> 01:09:09.625 Now hold those. 01:09:43.545 --> 01:09:48.739 Boy, he went through here all right. Now, they generally travel in a straight line. 01:09:49.105 --> 01:09:52.985 Good Lord, he's hit the Blackwell home. That's where Missy is. 01:09:54.805 --> 01:09:55.744 Mrs. Blackwell! 01:09:59.425 --> 01:10:00.325 Missy! 01:10:08.445 --> 01:10:09.545 Mrs. Blackwell! 01:10:13.685 --> 01:10:14.585 Missy! 01:10:16.705 --> 01:10:19.458 Hang on to that nitro. We're cutting across. 01:10:38.145 --> 01:10:41.211 Keep that stuff still. Do you want to blow us up? 01:10:41.445 --> 01:10:42.384 There they are. 01:10:43.265 --> 01:10:44.845 Where's Missy? Missy! 01:10:47.875 --> 01:10:52.165 It's all right, Missy. It's all right. Lisa, get Missy and hold her down. 01:10:52.285 --> 01:10:53.662 Both of you, lie flat. 01:11:50.765 --> 01:11:56.145 Are you all right? I'm scared, Chase. That's okay, honey. 01:11:56.685 --> 01:12:01.345 I tore my new dress. Oh, we can get you a new dress. A hundred dresses. 01:12:05.165 --> 01:12:06.417 Everybody all right? 01:12:07.645 --> 01:12:08.545 Yeah. 01:12:11.965 --> 01:12:16.283 On the way back, we picked up his trail, followed him across country. 01:12:20.605 --> 01:12:22.232 What did you hit him with? 01:12:23.185 --> 01:12:26.005 My brand new 100 % completed hot rod. 01:12:26.125 --> 01:12:28.652 You'd have had to start in the next county 01:12:28.772 --> 01:12:30.985 to get up enough momentum to do that to him. 01:12:31.105 --> 01:12:33.985 Not with four quarts of nitroglyceride with you. 01:12:34.105 --> 01:12:37.445 You rode across that rough field carrying nitro? Yes, sir. 01:12:37.725 --> 01:12:42.125 Do you know what could have happened to you? It did. I lost my car. 01:12:42.445 --> 01:12:47.138 Oh, don't worry about that. The railroad will be glad to buy you a new one. 01:12:51.485 --> 01:12:55.991 Ron Chase, did you see it? I sure did, Missy. You were really traveling. 01:12:59.706 --> 01:13:04.408 I thought I told you to keep those kids up at the barn. Well, how do you arrest 01:13:04.528 --> 01:13:06.465 a bunch of kids going in all different 01:13:06.585 --> 01:13:08.785 directions? Do you realize what would have happened 01:13:08.905 --> 01:13:11.347 if that thing had turned back? Same thing 01:13:11.467 --> 01:13:17.465 that happened to Pat. Sheriff, your job is a much bigger one than I thought. Off. 01:13:19.965 --> 01:13:23.425 Since Compton's gone, I guess Chase is out of a job. 01:13:24.465 --> 01:13:25.121 That's right. 01:13:25.171 --> 01:13:29.262 Would you make it a point to have the boy come around and see him in the morning? 01:13:29.312 --> 01:13:31.180 I'll bring him around in the morning.
