0:01:25 > 0:01:27Welcome!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Dr Atherton, I presume?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Wait! Not so fast!
0:01:31 > 0:01:36We're in a hurry, Mr Manley! We depart immediately.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Miguel Higueras, our assistant.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Mucho gusto.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Muy bien. Sorry I'm late.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I was held up in Caracas with fever.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Be sick on your own time, Mr Manley!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I want close-ups of each specimen, the forest and tepuis.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53The what?
0:01:53 > 0:01:59A tepui is a mountain with species isolated for millions of years.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Any man-eating dinosaurs?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Only Atherton! We'll hit a new one today.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Great(!) Anybody ever get lost?
0:02:08 > 0:02:15It's said men who climb to the "rain desert" never return. But don't worry - we'll fly!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41He friendly?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I hope so. He's our guide. Stick close.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Veinticuatro!
0:03:13 > 0:03:1524-Hour Ant.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17They bite?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21They kill, Mr Manley, in sufficient numbers.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23So do some of the frogs.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Don't touch any!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Great(!)
0:03:46 > 0:03:48This is where we're going.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We land here, then walk down.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57It's a sinkhole. Thousands of years of water have torn away the rock.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33It's deep, 2,000ft, and dark at the bottom. You'll need flash equipment.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- <- Atencion, muchachos!
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Stegolepis. Nutritious enough to live on for weeks.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Thanks, I'll pass!
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Plants your speciality?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Identifying new insects and spiders.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Great, just what the world needs(!) More bugs(!)
0:05:11 > 0:05:14What's your speciality, Manley?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Football.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Vamos! Vamos!
0:05:51 > 0:05:57No-one mentioned poison ants and frogs, but a 2,000ft drop?!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is for the equipment.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Our guide will show us another way.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Vamonos!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Mr Manley!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yeah, yeah, yeah!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Que pasa?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24No voy. No voy.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29What's with him?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31This is as far as he'll go.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34What?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Here we are.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Careful. Careful, watch your step, man.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11Amazing! The air temperature's dropped 10 degrees in 100m!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Not far. Down there.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17INAUDIBLE
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Arrgghh! Arrgghh!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Manley, you all right?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I just...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49HE SPEAKS IN SPANISH
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What'd he say?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Be careful. You're too big for us to carry out. Vamonos!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Wait up! Wait up!
0:09:02 > 0:09:07What's that thing do?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ever thrown a firecracker into a pond?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Maybe when I was a kid. Why?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What happened?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14All sorts of stuff floated to the surface.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Exactly. Everybody ready?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23ENGINE WHIRS NOSILY
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Prepare yourselves, gentlemen.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54For what?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13For pictures, Manley!
0:10:29 > 0:10:30What is it?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I think it's a new species of butterfly.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37We could call it Photius Manlii.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42LARGE THUD
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Extraordinary! Look at these markings!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Don't just sit there!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Are you sure it's dead?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yes. Quite dead.
0:11:11 > 0:11:17Two more.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17Highly unusual. So many spiders this size in a confined area!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Look at the abdomen.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20We must find a live specimen!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27HE SCREAMS
0:11:29 > 0:11:30HISSING
0:11:30 > 0:11:31What the devil are you doing?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It was alive!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Don't be ridiculous.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35It's just a spider...
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It wasn't just a spider.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43It was potentially a species unchanged for millions of years...
0:11:43 > 0:11:48and all you could do is squash it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Profesor! No esta muerto.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50HE MURMURS IN SPANISH
0:11:51 > 0:11:55No esta muerto.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Impossible. They should be dead.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Very aggressive! We'll take two alive, and preserve two.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Are you sure that'll do it?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25This stuff will kill an elephant.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Millions of years, then we come along!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33How long will it take to get back?
0:12:33 > 0:12:38What's wrong? Still worried about dinosaurs(?)
0:12:38 > 0:12:40This place gives me the creeps.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Incredible!
0:12:51 > 0:12:55What is?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55They have no reproductive organs.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Almost like worker bees or soldier ants.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Well...if these are the soldiers, I'd hate to see the general!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09How are you feeling?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Like hell. This fever's killing me.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13You don't look so good. Take a rest.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Ow!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25HE CHOKES
0:14:37 > 0:14:39STRANGLED CRIES
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Senor!
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Senor!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Profesor! Profesor! Profesor!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Esta muerto?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20The fever.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Make sure we've got all his film.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Have we notified his family?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I've contacted the US Consulate.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33OK, seal him up.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36HE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I wish you wouldn't complain about my driving!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You're pushing it, that's all!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Take it easy! Wait a minute!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20All right.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Can you give me a hand?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Oh, yeah.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Oh, gee...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Oh, God!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I think I'll go move the hearse.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01I'm sorry to pester you in this already difficult time.
0:18:01 > 0:18:08I know we decided on an open casket, but we should maybe reconsider.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I'm not sure how they work down in South America...
0:18:12 > 0:18:18but let me say their preservation methods differ from ours.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22No, you'd be welcome to come down and decide...
0:18:22 > 0:18:26But in this difficult time, I'm not sure I would...
0:18:28 > 0:18:33You do have the option...we could put a photo on top of the casket.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Yeah. The one you had in the newspaper would be nice.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Yeah. Oh, good.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41All right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48DOG WIMPERS
0:18:50 > 0:18:52CAT MIAOWS
0:19:13 > 0:19:15BIRD SCREECHES
0:19:23 > 0:19:28OK, kids, stake out your rooms!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Give me that!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Shelley!
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Oh, Ross, smell that air!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37HE SNEEZES
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Oh, God!
0:19:39 > 0:19:48Before we find what broke in the move and that the breakfront doesn't fit in the dining room,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51let's chant, "We did the right thing".
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- BOTH:- We did the right thing.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56For the kids.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56For all of us.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Goodbye crime, goodbye grime.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Goodbye culture, goodbye friends...
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Hey, Dad, there's a dead bird over here!
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Well, don't touch it! Just go into the house and find your sister.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Ross, the town is yours!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You're THE doctor. Is there a more respected figure?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Respect is fine, but I want to be feared.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Easy with that! That's... Don't...
0:20:31 > 0:20:38Don't want to agitate the sediments. Chateau Margaux. 127 bucks a bottle.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Tasty, huh?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43At that price, who can drink it?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Goes in the basement.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I mean, the cellar.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53The wine cellar.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04I need a big padlock, protect my investment.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Dad! Dad!
0:21:04 > 0:21:08What? What's wrong?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Behind the boxes, a spider!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11A spider? OK.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It was ugly! This big!
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Calm down! You're in the country now.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17OK? Let's go find that spider.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Let's find Mom to take care of it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Honey, we're in the living room! We need you to kill a spider.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26All right. Where is it?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Over there on the box!
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Killing a spider? Cool!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Bad luck to kill one in a new house!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Just made that up, dear?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37OK. Everything's OK.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Oh, poor thing!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It's more scared than we are.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Let's give it a home in the barn.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Yeah, good idea, Shell.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10How come you're not afraid of bugs like Dad?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15I'm not afraid of bugs, just... Careful of rusty nails!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Dad, chill out!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Right here.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Yeah!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20There. OK?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31You won't miss being in the thick of things?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Stars winking, crickets singing... we ARE in the thick of things.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41I mean work. Strokes from the boss. Christmas bonuses.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Office politics. Caffeine. Adrenaline. Steady income.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49We'll be fine.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Between my severance and your potential patients, we'll be fine.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00When are you meeting Dr Metcalf?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Thursday. The old coot passes the torch at 10 sharp.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Wait.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07We can unpack in the morning.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14I have some Napoleon brandy in the basement...cellar.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Ross, I'm exhausted.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20It's bad luck not to make love in a new house.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24You just made that up, didn't you, dear(?)
0:23:52 > 0:23:56I have terrific news. Well, for my patients it's terrific...
0:23:56 > 0:23:59..my wife is less than thrilled.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59What's that, Dr?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I'm postponing retirement.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I don't know for how long, but...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08But?
0:24:08 > 0:24:15I realised there's only one thing left to do when you retire...
0:24:14 > 0:24:20.. and too many friends have done that 6 months after giving up work.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22But you...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27When we spoke four months ago, you assured me...
0:24:27 > 0:24:35I'm not ready to retire, Doctor! And if my wife can't rush me into it, you sure as hell can't!
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Excuse me.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55You got to feed the meter, partner.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, I was just leaving.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Hmm, a little late, though.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I do have medical plates.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Oh, right! You're that new doctor!
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Ross Jennings.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Sheriff Lloyd Parsons.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14You're a Yale grad?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17That's right, yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Yeah!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Just a school, isn't it(?)
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That's enough, Lloyd Parsons.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27You're writing him a ticket!?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27What're you doing?!
0:25:27 > 0:25:31What the whole town ought to do! Your ticker-tape parade!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33That's littering, Miss Hollins!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Lloyd's been a bully since 5th grade.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41I know, I held him back! Walk me to my automobile.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Thanks! How'd you know who I was?
0:25:45 > 0:25:51We're neighbours. I gave you a standing ovation when you arrived.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Sam Metcalf only recently gave up leeches.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57He also gave up retirement!
0:25:57 > 0:26:04We came thinking I'd have his patients, now I've none!
0:26:04 > 0:26:08No, Dr Jennings! You have one!
0:26:12 > 0:26:18Look at this light! On the best day in the city we didn't get this!
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Maybe they'll give me a show. They do that in little towns.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29"Molly Jennings - A Retrospective." I need to take pictures first!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31There's good news and bad.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Shall we go in reverse alphabetical order, start with the good?
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Mm-hm.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42I'm seeing my first patient today... A great old dame, lives up the road.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Terrific. What's the bad?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46She's my only patient.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Today?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Metcalf changed his mind.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00What?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00He panicked.
0:27:00 > 0:27:08He says if he retires, he'll lose his zest for life and die within 48 hours or something.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12But we looked in 14 different towns!
0:27:12 > 0:27:16We bought a house! You rented an office! What'll we do?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Kill him?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I have my fax machine.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27I'll work part-time. Phone and fax is all I need. My old clients...
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Honey, we'll be fine, just like you said.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36With one patient?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Maybe I'll be lucky and she'll be ravaged by disease.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Like having seven patients in one.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Fit as a fiddle! Not a damned thing wrong!
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Dr Jennings, I'm sorry.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Think I was hoping you were ravaged by disease?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58What about my high blood pressure?
0:27:58 > 0:28:06You have above normal systolic pressure - less dangerous than a diastolic elevation.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It doesn't need treatment.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Do I need these?
0:28:11 > 0:28:17There's a difference between the two types of hypertension. I think...
0:28:17 > 0:28:23Dr Metcalf doesn't know the difference between his ass and a hole!
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Folks are comfortable with him...
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Though when he first hit town they were standoffish.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36How did he overcome it?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36He threw a party, invited the town.
0:28:36 > 0:28:42If he were half as good at medicine as he is at public relations,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45he could run for Surgeon General!
0:28:45 > 0:28:51Next month, when the afternoons are cooler, we'll throw you a party!
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Thanks.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31SHE GASPS
0:30:17 > 0:30:21So, is your one patient a walking health hazard?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I couldn't find a wart on her.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Great(!) So what do we do?
0:30:25 > 0:30:31Enjoy the fact that now we don't live in the city, we needn't call this pasta.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Skinny spaghetti?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34No, Daddy's not done.
0:30:34 > 0:30:42Margaret, my tragically healthy patient, will throw a get-to-know-Dr Jennings party.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45No, Daddy's not done!
0:30:45 > 0:30:51Some punch with the new GP and Canaima will abandon Doc Metcalf...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53It's a nice gesture.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah, I thought so.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Can we play with Bunny?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Yeah. I want you both in before dark, though.
0:30:59 > 0:31:05Bunny Beechwood. She popped up this morning. A neighbour. Seems nice.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Bet they'll chase fireflies or something?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Wanna blow up a bullfrog?- OK!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16I got great shots in the barn!
0:31:16 > 0:31:21If my camera picks up the web with the detail my eyes did...
0:31:21 > 0:31:23The web?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Our spider made himself a hell of a home!
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Even you would appreciate it!
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Molly, how can I make this more clear? I have a...
0:31:34 > 0:31:39Terrible fear of spiders. I've seen what happens.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45Which is why you should force yourself to look at the web.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Look at the web?!
0:31:45 > 0:31:50See it for the extraordinary, beautiful thing it is.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Therapy! We live in the country.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58Time to work out this irrational, paralysing terror.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58It's not irrational.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I know. The incident.
0:32:00 > 0:32:06It's like yesterday.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Nobody remembers anything from when they were two!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's my first memory.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I can envision the crib, all around me, clear as day.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20I can feel waking up, drowsy, peaceful, secure - and there it was.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Probably a daddy-longlegs.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It seemed huge.
0:32:23 > 0:32:29It came crawling through the bars of the crib, touched my bare leg...
0:32:29 > 0:32:34You were wearing a diaper.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34All my limbs froze, just froze!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36You were still half-asleep.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I was paralysed, Molly!
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Try to understand how it makes me feel.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47I was unable to stop it from crawling along my naked skin!
0:32:47 > 0:32:51I can still feel its hairy little legs, just...
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Then up to my face...
0:32:53 > 0:33:00I felt utterly helpless, being explored by an alien thing!
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Can you blame me for being a spider...phobe...?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Arachnophobe.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Whatever.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20You see it up there? Right behind the ladder.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Impressive, huh?
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Therapy, right?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Right.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Yeah.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Oh...
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Oh, God!
0:34:14 > 0:34:19You see? You still have full use of all your limbs.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26God, have you seen it up here?
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Molly, I think you spared the 8-legged Frank Lloyd Wright!
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Ross!
0:34:37 > 0:34:39BOTH SCREAM
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Are you OK? Honey, it's OK!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44What the hell was that?!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46It's... Ugh!
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Come on!
0:34:49 > 0:34:55Oh, God! Oh, no! HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Jesus!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Hold me, hold me!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02No, no! No!
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Oh, my God!
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- FRANK SINATRA: - # The summer wind came blowing in
0:35:21 > 0:35:23# From across the sea
0:35:26 > 0:35:31# It lingered there and touched your hair
0:35:31 > 0:35:34# And walked with me
0:35:36 > 0:35:38# All summer long... #
0:35:43 > 0:35:47No, thanks.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47How do you find life here?
0:35:47 > 0:35:52After a few initial shocks, we're adjusting.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I've been checking on you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:58When I'm ready to throw in the towel, Dr Jennings is your man.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Henry Beechwood.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Ross. Jennings.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02By all accounts, a fine physician.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04I'll remember that.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07This brings back memories!
0:36:07 > 0:36:14When I moved here, the whole town threw me a party.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14No, you threw yourself a party!
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Now, THAT was a party!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Now, THAT is a jerk!
0:36:48 > 0:36:53Canaima welcomes you.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Thank you.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I was interested in something.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Could you give me a little help?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Should I have this removed?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00What's Bunny showing them?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Green Beret hand-to-hand combat methods.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Becky, thought about what you'll major in at college?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Gym. - It's in the genes.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Bobby's a Bronco star quarterback.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Hi.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23He could throw a football before he could walk! I coach the team.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Nepotism, huh?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Actually, we're Baptists.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33Nobody says to a mortician, "Irv, think I might be dead?"
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Drive you nuts? Dipping a Dorito as somebody shows you his growth!
0:37:38 > 0:37:39How do you handle it?
0:37:39 > 0:37:44I just mention that my wife was a successful stockbroker.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49What about artificial intelligence stock?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Why shouldn't I have another?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52You've had too much.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54No! I'm thirsty!
0:37:54 > 0:37:59(The Manleys... Their son passed away recently.)
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Oh, that's awful! How?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03I'm not sure. He was a scientist.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Photographer.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08He was on an expedition down in Venezuela.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14Nobody'd tell me how! Or even let me see him to say goodbye!
0:38:15 > 0:38:21Let's go.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21Why wouldn't they let me see him? I don't understand!
0:38:22 > 0:38:26I had to recommend a closed coffin.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29His body looked all chewed up.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Drained.
0:38:31 > 0:38:37Like some vampire had a go at him. It was something terrible.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Excuse us.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Oh, yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44That's the apple?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Bet you made enough friends to break Sam's death grip!
0:38:50 > 0:38:53We can't thank you enough.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Nor I you, for freeing me from the pills!
0:38:56 > 0:39:01I feel I could compete in a triathlon!
0:39:01 > 0:39:03After your check-up, I agree!
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Bye-bye, Margaret.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Bye, Molly.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Irv! Blaire! Would you like a doggie bag?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15We're fine, thank you. Great party, Margaret!
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Come on, honey, the party's over!
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Happy hunting, Felix! See you in the morning!
0:40:47 > 0:40:53You'd have had too much punch, and been the life of the party.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01I missed you!
0:41:07 > 0:41:08- <- Aaargh!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Ross! Ross!
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Molly?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Ross!
0:42:06 > 0:42:12I could have killed you! The nails came straight... Oh, God!
0:42:12 > 0:42:18It's all rotten. My wine cellar is probably crawling with termites!
0:42:18 > 0:42:23I'm surprised we haven't fallen through the floor!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Well, I'll call the exterminator.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30You're casual about the death of my dream!
0:42:30 > 0:42:37I tried to thank Margaret for yesterday, but her line's busy.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37She's probably gabbing.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40You want me to...
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Yeah, OK, I'll go over and check on her.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55CAT MIAOWS
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Here, Kitty! Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Margaret!
0:43:18 > 0:43:19What'd you think, Doc?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23Heart attack. Bound to happen sooner rather than later.
0:43:23 > 0:43:28She had high blood pressure, even with pills.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31I took her off those.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31What right did you have?
0:43:31 > 0:43:33She came to me as a patient.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35You didn't see she was hypertensive?
0:43:35 > 0:43:41Her diastolic reading was normal, her systolic below 160.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45This is a very serious matter, young man!
0:43:46 > 0:43:48You may have killed her.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52She was in fine shape. I want an autopsy.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Never!
0:43:53 > 0:43:55She was my patient.
0:43:55 > 0:43:56And mine for 40 years!
0:43:56 > 0:44:03She wouldn't want to be butchered! Nobody would want it for her!
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Give it to me, Irv.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05I'm satisfied if you are, Doc.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09You come from a city, where people don't care!
0:44:09 > 0:44:12I don't expect you to understand.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14A little advice.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19To fit in, learn to be sensitive to people's feelings!
0:44:19 > 0:44:23I'm interested in medicine, not public relations(!)
0:44:23 > 0:44:30Cardiac victims don't bite their tongues off! She had tetanic convulsions.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33This case isn't closed!
0:44:31 > 0:44:33You're damn right!
0:44:33 > 0:44:40I believe you may be guilty of medical malpractice! I intend to pursue it!
0:44:48 > 0:44:53I understand she was your patient. Your only patient.
0:44:53 > 0:44:58Come by the gym tomorrow at 3. I'll throw you some business.
0:44:58 > 0:45:03Thank you, Henry! Thanks, I appreciate that!
0:45:03 > 0:45:08Nice. Think he could say it a little louder, though(?)
0:45:10 > 0:45:12MUSIC PLAYS
0:45:19 > 0:45:21HE SIGHS
0:45:24 > 0:45:26A little young, isn't it?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28The wine?
0:45:28 > 0:45:32No. Margaret. To die at 68.
0:45:36 > 0:45:43You know, that's 10 years below life expectancy of a Caucasian female.
0:45:43 > 0:45:51You're a fine doctor. You knew what you were doing taking her off pills.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Like when I chose this town...
0:45:51 > 0:46:00with the country doctor from hell, or this house, which is rotting from the ground up(!)
0:46:00 > 0:46:02I'll take care of that.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07Well, Margaret's still gonna be dead in the morning.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13I still wanna know what killed her.
0:46:29 > 0:46:35He was nailing something in the cellar, and the wood disintegrated.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Termites, huh?
0:46:35 > 0:46:41That's what my husband thought.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41He's an expert in these matters(?)
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Well, no...
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Didn't think so.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45I'm glad you called me.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51No room for amateurs in this game.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Oh! Oh!
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Ah, thank you.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Haa!
0:47:17 > 0:47:20What is it?
0:47:18 > 0:47:20It's hard to say.
0:47:20 > 0:47:24Would anybody object if I tore the floor out?
0:47:23 > 0:47:24I would!
0:47:24 > 0:47:26False alarm, then. Lead on.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32How bad is it?
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Ssshh!
0:47:33 > 0:47:35I didn't find a thing.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Then why is the wood rotting?
0:47:38 > 0:47:40I'll tell you why.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Bad wood.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45So...what do we do?
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Tear out bad wood.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Put in good wood.
0:47:52 > 0:47:58My husband thought this'd make a good wine cellar.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58Yeah? I collect beer cans myself.
0:47:57 > 0:48:02I got a rare '74 Miller Lite with a misprinted label.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Only 100 in circulation. He might want a look.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Oh, no hard shoes on the court.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10Sorry.
0:48:10 > 0:48:19I know what a blow losing Margaret was. People keep score. You're only as good as your last game.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23I appreciate your concern.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23I want you to enjoy Canaima.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28Clean water, fresh air. No police sirens wailing all night!
0:48:28 > 0:48:31Just crickets up the wazoo!
0:48:31 > 0:48:35Actually, I haven't heard any crickets lately.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37I haven't, either.
0:48:37 > 0:48:42OK, Broncos, the doc's here! Get ready to drop 'em!
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Doc wants to hear you cough!
0:48:56 > 0:48:58HE COUGHS
0:49:07 > 0:49:09MORE COUGHING
0:49:15 > 0:49:17HE COUGHS
0:49:18 > 0:49:20HE COUGHS FEEBLY
0:49:22 > 0:49:28Call yourself Broncos? You look like babies! Come on! Snap to it!
0:49:32 > 0:49:33- <- On the ball.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41Hurry up, let's go! Come on! Another play.
0:49:41 > 0:49:47Come on, you're moving in slow motion! Move it! Move it!
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Hike!
0:49:55 > 0:49:58A banana-out?! That's a banana-split!
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Shitty pass!
0:49:59 > 0:50:01I heard that, McGrath!
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Garbage-mouth! Wash that mouth out!
0:50:04 > 0:50:06- Miller!- Yo!
0:50:06 > 0:50:09You know the patterns?
0:50:08 > 0:50:09Like the back of my hand!
0:50:10 > 0:50:14Get in here! Run the same thing again.
0:50:13 > 0:50:17Come on, we're waiting on you! Let's go!
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Come on, Miller! Wanna play? Let's go!
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Thanks.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Run it!
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Set! Hut! Hike!
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Arrggh!
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Come on! Come on, up, up!
0:50:39 > 0:50:42Easy up! Let's up! That's back! Let's go!
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Miller, you all right?
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Coach!
0:50:48 > 0:50:50What's wrong with Miller?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Back up, let him breathe!
0:50:53 > 0:50:55What's wrong? What is it?
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Come on, give him some air!
0:50:59 > 0:51:02OK, let's get his helmet off.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Real easy. Support his head. Easy, easy!
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Real gentle.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11Real gentle.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Look out, look out.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30From what I hear it wasn't a very hard tackle.
0:51:30 > 0:51:35I only wish I knew. You see, Dr Jennings examined him last.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Hey...
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Why so gloomy?
0:51:50 > 0:51:55Bunny Beechwood says everybody's calling you Dr Death.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58That's just silly, Shelley.
0:51:58 > 0:52:03They say you want to cut people up into pieces.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03Oh, Tom, look.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05It's called an autopsy.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08It's not a pleasant thing.
0:52:08 > 0:52:12But sometimes it's the only way to see what happened.
0:52:12 > 0:52:17But some doctors won't accept it.
0:52:17 > 0:52:23Some doctors won't accept city methods don't work in a small town.
0:52:23 > 0:52:29Both Margaret and that poor boy did seem healthy. Odd, don't you think?
0:52:30 > 0:52:36If I autopsied every heart attack, I'd be run out of Canaima!
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Poor Sam. You think life is a popularity contest!
0:52:41 > 0:52:44You're not jealous of our new doctor?
0:52:44 > 0:52:46What?!
0:52:46 > 0:52:49You made me lose my timing!
0:52:49 > 0:52:52You're yelling, Sam. Come on to bed.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Come on!
0:52:56 > 0:52:58I need a shower.
0:52:58 > 0:53:04I'd love to take walks around the neighbourhood with you.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04It's not the same, Evelyn.
0:53:04 > 0:53:09I need to know how far I've gone, and exactly how long it took me.
0:53:11 > 0:53:12Floor's cold, Sam.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15You're right. You're always right!
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Damn!
0:53:22 > 0:53:25What's wrong?
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Some damn thing bit me.
0:53:27 > 0:53:28It's just a spider!
0:53:28 > 0:53:33Spider? It felt like a damn cougar! Damn!
0:53:34 > 0:53:35Damn!
0:53:36 > 0:53:38I'm having a seizure!
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Sam, what should I do?
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Get an ambulance. Call Jennings.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44My God!
0:53:49 > 0:53:51I'll be right there.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55What's going on?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Metcalf. He's having a seizure.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59Thank God you didn't examine HIM this morning!
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Why's the Coroner here?
0:54:05 > 0:54:07I don't know.
0:54:07 > 0:54:11Milt, this isn't necessary!
0:54:09 > 0:54:11I'll be the judge, Lloyd.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Wait out here.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17Guard the house, or something, hmm?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Guard the house(!)
0:54:18 > 0:54:22Was he alive when you got here?
0:54:22 > 0:54:25He'd been dead maybe five minutes.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Whatever it was, it was abrupt and acute.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32Massive coronary or cerebral haemorrhage?
0:54:32 > 0:54:39His wife says he was bitten by a spider before he seized.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39Oh, right(!)
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Sam told me about you.
0:54:40 > 0:54:48The hotshot who won't accept anyone else's diagnosis.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48I'll accept it if I agree with it.
0:54:48 > 0:54:53Good.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Let me show you something. Down here.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59I believe that's a spider bite.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03I'll buy that.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05But I doubt that killed him.
0:55:05 > 0:55:13In 20 years I've seen one spider-bite fatality... a black widow and a child.
0:55:13 > 0:55:17No, my guess is Sam overexerted himself.
0:55:17 > 0:55:22He used the treadmill before he keeled over.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22Yeah, well, you may be right.
0:55:23 > 0:55:28I want an autopsy. Tissue samples, blood toxicology.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30- Wait just one second! - Shut up, Lloyd.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33You'll get Evelyn's permission?
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Of course.
0:55:32 > 0:55:33Need a ride home?
0:55:33 > 0:55:36No, I'm all right, thanks.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39Take care! You're the town doctor!
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Say "Ah".
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Ahhh.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48OK, we'll treat this inflammation with antibiotics.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52So I don't get any ice cream?
0:55:52 > 0:55:55I'll buy you a double scoop!
0:55:54 > 0:55:57Who's next?
0:55:56 > 0:55:59I'll take that, thank you!
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Step right this way.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Have a seat. Be right with you.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Thank you.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11OK, hotshot, are you sitting down?
0:56:11 > 0:56:19Sam died from a minute amount of an unidentified toxic substance in his blood.
0:56:19 > 0:56:26'My office isn't ruling out poisoning, or even killer spiders.
0:56:26 > 0:56:33'It looks like a heart attack to me, but I'll support whatever you'd like to do.'
0:56:33 > 0:56:37I gotta have those bodies exhumed, Milt. I gotta be sure.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41OK, whatever you think necessary.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Thanks.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Are you out of your mind?
0:56:46 > 0:56:52Once more, I want Margaret Hollins and Todd Miller exhumed.
0:56:52 > 0:56:56Hey! Hey! Hey...
0:56:56 > 0:57:02You pull them out the ground when they should be enjoying eternal rest...
0:57:02 > 0:57:05I'll just get a court order!
0:57:05 > 0:57:07Milt Briggs is on my side.
0:57:09 > 0:57:15This is a very bad business, Mr Yale Graduate, Big City Doctor!
0:57:15 > 0:57:17No shit(!)
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Hi, Dad!
0:57:29 > 0:57:31Hi, honey!
0:57:30 > 0:57:31What's going on?
0:57:31 > 0:57:34Shelley's staying the night with Bunny.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38We'll take good care of her, Dr Jennings.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Wait.
0:57:43 > 0:57:48There may be some spiders that are very dangerous, OK?
0:57:48 > 0:57:51I want you to be aware of this.
0:57:51 > 0:57:55If you see one, don't try to capture or kill it.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57Just run. You understand?
0:58:00 > 0:58:03Run!
0:58:01 > 0:58:03We'll do that, Dr Jennings.
0:58:03 > 0:58:06Don't worry about anything.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08THEY GIGGLE BUNNY: Yo, Dr Death!
0:58:12 > 0:58:14Are you all right?
0:58:14 > 0:58:16No.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29All clear.
0:58:35 > 0:58:41"The spider was asleep. It had been a very, very busy day."
0:58:41 > 0:58:43OK, your turn, Bunny.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46# The itsy-bitsy SPIDER...
0:58:46 > 0:58:48SHE SQUEALS
0:58:48 > 0:58:52# Crawled up the water spout
0:58:52 > 0:58:56# Down came the rain and washed the spider out
0:58:57 > 0:59:01# Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
0:59:01 > 0:59:07# And the itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the spout again. #
0:59:07 > 0:59:08It's my turn now.
0:59:08 > 0:59:13"Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey.
0:59:13 > 0:59:15"Along came a SPIDER...
0:59:15 > 0:59:16THEY BOTH SCREAM
0:59:16 > 0:59:19"..that sat down beside her, and frightened Miss Muffet...
0:59:19 > 0:59:21BOTH: Aarrgghh!
0:59:21 > 0:59:24Settle down, or Shelley can't stay!
0:59:24 > 0:59:28We can't sleep!
0:59:26 > 0:59:28We keep scaring each other.
0:59:28 > 0:59:30- Why don't you sleep in my room for a while?- OK.
0:59:31 > 0:59:33Nah, we don't need this.
1:00:14 > 1:00:16Argh! Oh, God!
1:00:19 > 1:00:21CRICKET CHIRPS
1:00:31 > 1:00:32You son of a bitch!
1:00:34 > 1:00:36FRANTIC CHIRPING
1:00:37 > 1:00:41Where are the other crickets? Where are all your buddies?
1:01:01 > 1:01:03PHONE RINGS
1:01:10 > 1:01:14Atherton.
1:01:12 > 1:01:14Yes, Dr Atherton?
1:01:14 > 1:01:16I'm Ross Jennings.
1:01:16 > 1:01:23I'm a general practitioner and I've a problem that may be spider related.
1:01:23 > 1:01:27You're the foremost authority on the West Coast, or any coast!
1:01:28 > 1:01:36Every so often in some little town there's a health scare - an unexplained outbreak.
1:01:36 > 1:01:39Spiders make convenient culprits.
1:01:39 > 1:01:46'On every suburban acre there are 50,000 to 60,000 spiders
1:01:46 > 1:01:51and each spider eats about 100 insects a year?
1:01:51 > 1:01:55'So, 5 million insects are consumed per acre annually.'
1:01:55 > 1:02:02Perhaps man might find the planet uninhabitable without spiders.
1:02:02 > 1:02:10'I've nothing against them, but we've had 3 deaths and I fear there'll be more.
1:02:10 > 1:02:14'Lend me your expertise for an afternoon.'
1:02:14 > 1:02:19It's a town called Canaima.
1:02:16 > 1:02:19Canaima?
1:02:18 > 1:02:19'Yeah. You know it?'
1:02:19 > 1:02:21It's familiar.
1:02:21 > 1:02:25Let me see what I can do. Where are you, exactly?
1:02:34 > 1:02:36Collins. Collins!
1:02:37 > 1:02:41Oh. Sorry.
1:02:38 > 1:02:41Are you equally busy tomorrow(?)
1:03:01 > 1:03:02Dr Atherton?
1:03:02 > 1:03:06No, Chris Collins, his assistant.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09I'm Chris. Atherton's busy.
1:03:09 > 1:03:13He's found a new species of spider in South America.
1:03:13 > 1:03:16Er, to us it's a big deal.
1:03:17 > 1:03:24I hope you can help. We'll be examining bodies.
1:03:21 > 1:03:24Sounds like a blast(!)
1:03:25 > 1:03:27We're looking for bites.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32Like this. That's a spider, isn't it?
1:03:34 > 1:03:36Er, I'm not sure. I think so.
1:03:37 > 1:03:43But even at several times the potency of Latrodectus...
1:03:41 > 1:03:43Latro... Black widow, right?
1:03:43 > 1:03:51Right. It'd take more than one bite to kill. This death and the bite are coincidental.
1:03:51 > 1:03:52Hey, guys, how's it going?
1:03:54 > 1:03:56Poor Margaret!
1:03:56 > 1:04:01She was a good wife, good teacher, good neighbour...
1:04:01 > 1:04:05Excellent cook. Anything you want, just shout.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09I want some fresh air.
1:04:09 > 1:04:11Chris! Chris! Come here!
1:04:16 > 1:04:19Still think it's a coincidence?
1:04:20 > 1:04:22That's a spider bite.
1:04:22 > 1:04:27The tissue around it is macerated.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27A mark behind the left ear.
1:04:27 > 1:04:29PHONE RINGS
1:04:32 > 1:04:35Atherton.
1:04:33 > 1:04:35'Chris Collins.
1:04:35 > 1:04:38'We've a big problem in Canaima.
1:04:38 > 1:04:45'They've 3 dead. The cause seems to be a spider deadlier than any I've seen.
1:04:45 > 1:04:50'They want to quarantine the town!'
1:04:47 > 1:04:50Are you sure?
1:04:48 > 1:04:50This is way out of my league.
1:04:50 > 1:04:54It's a decision you have to make. You better come up.
1:04:55 > 1:04:59I can be there tomorrow afternoon...
1:04:59 > 1:05:02But, Collins, try and find me a specimen.
1:06:03 > 1:06:05HE BREATHES HEAVILY
1:06:23 > 1:06:25Bring the keys?
1:06:25 > 1:06:27Great. Perk up, Lloyd!
1:06:27 > 1:06:32If we find the spider that did this, you can arrest him!
1:06:44 > 1:06:46Milt, will you cover the living room?
1:06:47 > 1:06:50Chris, you check out back.
1:06:51 > 1:06:54And, Lloyd...take the kitchen.
1:06:55 > 1:07:00I'll just... I'll oversee... I'll just coordinate the...
1:07:00 > 1:07:03I'll just stay right here.
1:08:09 > 1:08:12What is all that crap? >
1:08:12 > 1:08:16Leftovers. Mostly cricket parts. Wings, legs.
1:08:17 > 1:08:21We haven't heard any crickets for weeks.
1:08:27 > 1:08:28Arrggh!
1:08:30 > 1:08:31Ross! Here! Ross!
1:08:31 > 1:08:33Sheriff, don't move!
1:08:34 > 1:08:38It's dead! Shit!
1:08:36 > 1:08:38What could have killed it?
1:08:38 > 1:08:41The shock of seeing Lloyd?
1:08:47 > 1:08:48KNOCK ON DOOR
1:08:48 > 1:08:51- There are other people in this house!- >
1:08:51 > 1:08:53Dad, go away!
1:08:54 > 1:08:56Dad, go away!
1:08:56 > 1:08:58- <- Use the one down here, Henry!
1:09:53 > 1:09:54SHE SCREAMS
1:09:56 > 1:09:58Never a moment's peace!
1:09:58 > 1:10:00SHE SCREAMS
1:10:02 > 1:10:04What happened? Are you OK?
1:10:04 > 1:10:05SHE SCREAMS AGAIN
1:10:13 > 1:10:16Why don't we take the dead spider and get out?
1:10:16 > 1:10:18You don't get off that easy!
1:10:18 > 1:10:20The dead spider's desiccated. No use to us.
1:10:20 > 1:10:22You mean macerated.
1:10:22 > 1:10:26No, desiccated. Dried up, drained of blood.
1:10:25 > 1:10:28Macerated is the...
1:10:26 > 1:10:28Chewing they do.
1:10:28 > 1:10:30Chewing, right.
1:10:30 > 1:10:33They're like little vampires.
1:10:33 > 1:10:40This trip to find the spider species, where'd he go?
1:10:36 > 1:10:40South America. Venezuela. Why?
1:10:45 > 1:10:47Is that one of 'em?
1:10:47 > 1:10:49I'd say it's a damn fine suspect.
1:10:59 > 1:11:04Ross, you're gonna have to take a step towards it.
1:11:05 > 1:11:06Chris, I'm scared to death!
1:11:06 > 1:11:13We all are, but our brains secrete a neuro-transmitter to help us.
1:11:13 > 1:11:17I don't have that particular neuro-transmitter.
1:11:17 > 1:11:19Yes, you do.
1:11:29 > 1:11:31Wow.
1:11:38 > 1:11:39DOG BARKS
1:11:42 > 1:11:50You need an asbestos glove, the Doomsday weapon in Delbert's war on creepy-crawlies.
1:11:50 > 1:11:55I coat it with Denon EC. It's biodegradable, organic.
1:11:55 > 1:12:00You should see the beasties twitch when they get a whiff!
1:12:08 > 1:12:09Er, Delbert...
1:12:12 > 1:12:19There's a rumour going that a spider killed Sam, maybe Margaret, even my Bronco.
1:12:19 > 1:12:21Doubtful, Henry.
1:12:22 > 1:12:28In Florida, one of my colleagues bumped into a nest of black widows.
1:12:28 > 1:12:30Over a dozen bites, and lived.
1:12:34 > 1:12:39Course, he probably lost control of his bodily functions.
1:12:39 > 1:12:46Nothing here. But I'll hunt the alleged arachnid and spritz him to kingdom come.
1:13:27 > 1:13:31DOG BARKS
1:13:28 > 1:13:31Yeah, that's right! I'm bad!
1:13:32 > 1:13:34KNOCK ON DOOR
1:13:40 > 1:13:43Dr Atherton... Ross Jennings.
1:13:44 > 1:13:46Come in.
1:13:47 > 1:13:53Did you find another specimen?
1:13:49 > 1:13:53Yes. I also called the town mortician.
1:13:53 > 1:13:55Months ago, there was a corpse.
1:13:55 > 1:13:59The body was desiccated, drained of blood.
1:13:59 > 1:14:05Irv agreed, if the spider was big and spent long enough on the body...
1:14:05 > 1:14:12I know why you've heard of Canaima. This was Jerry Manley's hometown.
1:14:12 > 1:14:14Manley the photographer?
1:14:14 > 1:14:18I think a Venezuelan spider hitched a ride in his coffin.
1:14:24 > 1:14:29The fangs, injectors, are disproportionately large.
1:14:29 > 1:14:303 poison sacs.
1:14:30 > 1:14:34Now, let's test the venom.
1:14:40 > 1:14:46The toxin and amount injected determine the effect of the bite.
1:14:46 > 1:14:49And the place where the subject is bitten.
1:14:49 > 1:14:53It can lead to paralysis or death.
1:14:57 > 1:14:59SQUEAKING
1:14:59 > 1:15:04I'd guess this toxin is fatal at a fraction of that dose.
1:15:04 > 1:15:06I'd agree.
1:15:12 > 1:15:14No sex organs.
1:15:15 > 1:15:19That would make them drones - or soldiers!
1:15:20 > 1:15:28That's typical in organised insects - bees, ants. I never saw it in spiders!
1:15:28 > 1:15:30I have.
1:15:29 > 1:15:30Venezuela, right?
1:15:30 > 1:15:33Right. This is a descendant.
1:15:33 > 1:15:39Somehow, a male mated with a house spider to make a deadly strain.
1:15:39 > 1:15:42But with no sex organs, it can't reproduce.
1:15:42 > 1:15:48True. And the accelerated growth rate suggests a short life cycle.
1:15:48 > 1:15:51We already saw a dead one.
1:15:50 > 1:15:54That could be the good news!
1:15:52 > 1:15:54Let's discuss the bad!
1:15:55 > 1:16:01The species I found in S America live at the top of the food chain.
1:16:00 > 1:16:07They spread out from a nest in a web-like pattern, and dominate the area.
1:16:07 > 1:16:12In their habitat, they're contained by geography - not true here.
1:16:12 > 1:16:17So the original male's the granddaddy of 'em all,
1:16:17 > 1:16:18and he's sending troops to battle.
1:16:18 > 1:16:19Right. Er...
1:16:19 > 1:16:22Excuse me! Professor?
1:16:22 > 1:16:24This is our town exterminator.
1:16:24 > 1:16:27McClintock. Nice to meet a colleague.
1:16:27 > 1:16:33He came across one of the offenders a few hours ago.
1:16:31 > 1:16:33Have you brought it with you?
1:16:33 > 1:16:36It's still on the bottom of my shoe.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40You can't tell what it is any more.
1:16:42 > 1:16:48In this first generation, the original male produced a queen.
1:16:48 > 1:16:51They'll build a nest for the queen to guard.
1:16:51 > 1:16:58She'll create reproductive offspring, and then this town is dead.
1:16:58 > 1:17:02And the next town, the next town, and the next.
1:17:02 > 1:17:07Irv owns the mortuary where it originated. If we kill the male...
1:17:07 > 1:17:10And nest. I'll call the Dept of Agriculture.
1:17:10 > 1:17:14OK. Phone's in the office.
1:17:11 > 1:17:14See you at the mortuary.
1:17:14 > 1:17:16Sheriff, give me a ride.
1:17:16 > 1:17:18- I am not a chauffeur! - Shut up, Lloyd.
1:17:18 > 1:17:20Damn! It's busy!
1:17:20 > 1:17:23Irv takes the phone off the hook for Wheel of Fortune.
1:17:23 > 1:17:25Let's go!
1:17:38 > 1:17:40< NOISE FROM TV
1:17:46 > 1:17:50- Blaire, real or fake butter? - Fake!
1:17:54 > 1:17:56Irv, hurry!
1:17:56 > 1:17:57Buttery, hot and delicious!
1:18:08 > 1:18:13'1,000. T. There are two Ts. That's quite a start!'
1:18:13 > 1:18:15He needs to buy a vowel.
1:18:22 > 1:18:24Buy a vowel!
1:18:26 > 1:18:28TYRES SCREECH
1:18:30 > 1:18:31Delbert!!
1:18:36 > 1:18:38What'll this nest look like?
1:18:38 > 1:18:41Well, you'd know if you found it.
1:18:41 > 1:18:45The area would be dark, warm, moist.
1:18:45 > 1:18:48A musty smell, and you'd see an egg sac.
1:18:48 > 1:18:50Like your basic egg sac.
1:18:50 > 1:18:56Uh, white, cocooned, pulsating, about the size of a softball.
1:18:56 > 1:18:58And no other spiders around.
1:18:58 > 1:18:59What do you mean?
1:18:59 > 1:19:06Spiders are cannibals, she wouldn't want any others near her offspring.
1:19:06 > 1:19:12Tell them - even if it means interrupting a dinner party!
1:19:12 > 1:19:14Sheriff!
1:19:19 > 1:19:21Where is this?
1:19:21 > 1:19:24The Daniels place. Jennings bought it.
1:19:24 > 1:19:26Take me there!
1:19:45 > 1:19:47NOISE FROM TV
1:19:47 > 1:19:48Hey, Irv! Irv!
1:19:50 > 1:19:52Ross...
1:19:52 > 1:19:54Canaima welcomes you.
1:19:54 > 1:19:58Irv, we have an emergency! We...
1:20:08 > 1:20:09Aarrghh!
1:20:16 > 1:20:19I'll get us into the mortuary.
1:20:20 > 1:20:22- <- Ross. Ross!
1:20:50 > 1:20:51We've found it!
1:20:55 > 1:21:00Go to the mortuary, get my assistant and the exterminator.
1:21:00 > 1:21:02Right, I'll do that.
1:21:02 > 1:21:07Stay here, sir - I'm not responsible for you! Fine!
1:21:21 > 1:21:25The killings are so arbitrary, maybe there's more than one nest.
1:21:25 > 1:21:27No, there's just one.
1:21:27 > 1:21:32What was it Atherton said?
1:21:28 > 1:21:32They radiate from a central nest. Got a map?
1:21:32 > 1:21:35Thinking about buying here...?
1:21:33 > 1:21:35Come on, get a map, please!
1:21:35 > 1:21:36Here. Here.
1:21:36 > 1:21:42The Kendalls. The Kendalls' house. Mark that down on there.
1:21:43 > 1:21:46And the old guy - the doctor.
1:21:44 > 1:21:46Metcalf.
1:21:46 > 1:21:49Kid died on the football field behind the school.
1:21:49 > 1:21:52This is fun! I found one at Beechwoods'.
1:21:52 > 1:21:55The old lady...
1:21:53 > 1:21:55Margaret.
1:21:55 > 1:21:57- Is that all of them?- That's it.
1:21:57 > 1:21:59In the centre, that's the mortuary?
1:21:59 > 1:22:01No, that's a house.
1:22:01 > 1:22:02Who the hell lives there?
1:22:03 > 1:22:05I do.
1:22:11 > 1:22:14The whole time the nest was in MY barn!
1:22:14 > 1:22:19I doubt it. A spider would find your barn a tad breezy.
1:22:19 > 1:22:23In that respect, spiders are like you and me.
1:22:23 > 1:22:27I frankly doubt the nest is there.
1:22:24 > 1:22:27I frankly know it is.
1:22:27 > 1:22:30I was in the barn. I saw a web. There's a web.
1:22:30 > 1:22:34A web does indicate an arachnoid presence.
1:22:34 > 1:22:36They got a saying in Benelux countries...
1:22:36 > 1:22:40Just drive, Delbert. Just get us there, please!
1:22:59 > 1:23:02My, you've been busy! Incredible!
1:23:29 > 1:23:32Supper's ready!
1:23:32 > 1:23:34Come and get it!
1:23:35 > 1:23:36HE SCREAMS
1:23:48 > 1:23:52I gotta get my family out. Destroy what's in the barn!
1:23:52 > 1:23:55Check. Better uncork my private stock.
1:23:55 > 1:24:00There may be spiders in the house!
1:23:58 > 1:24:00Yeah, right, let's go.
1:24:05 > 1:24:09Give me a minute to look around here, then we go in.
1:24:13 > 1:24:15Hello-o-o!

1:25:02 > 1:25:07'How come she's not here?
1:25:02 > 1:25:07'She had meetings...'
1:25:08 > 1:25:09Honey!
1:25:09 > 1:25:11In here, Ross!
1:25:10 > 1:25:11Hi, Dad.
1:25:18 > 1:25:23I expected you for dinner, I got worried.
1:25:23 > 1:25:26Sorry, I didn't get a chance to call.
1:25:30 > 1:25:32SHE GASPS
1:25:37 > 1:25:39OK, every...
1:25:52 > 1:25:55Everybody just get up, very slowly...
1:26:04 > 1:26:06..and walk towards the door.
1:26:10 > 1:26:12OK, quick and quiet!

1:27:01 > 1:27:02Come on, Shelley!
