Since his very beggining, man has been trying to destroy nature. Perhaps one day he may succeed. But, then again, on that day, nature may rebel and this could happen.

Hurry, dad!
Come back!
They're probably still at the hospital working. I'll give you a chance to freshen up before dinner, and look nice to your future husband.
Put the luggage in the guest room!
Yes, ma'am!
Yes I caught it on the six o' clock news. Quite a hurricane! Practically destroyed the island!
Oh, thank you!
Yes, I understand it just missed us!
Thank god!
Do you think there's any truth to it having been caused by that atomic explosion?
Well it's possible. Anything is possible this day and age.
Here Linda, try this.
Oh, thank you!
I made it. Tony!
Thanks for inviting me here!
Don't be silly it's our pleasure. Besides I'm the best man don't forget. Next month and you'll be an old merry couple!
Why don't we all go to Pattaya, huh? We could spend the weekend there. That is if you can manage to get a weekend of from the hospital.
Yeah I think I can manage, but they'll have to know where I'm at.
Hmm, just wait Lynda. You'll what it's like to be married to a doctor. They're married to their work!
It's our duty. We have an obligation.
Does that mean neglecting your family?
Now wait a minute, I've never neglected you!
Alright now, there's no need to start World War III!
(Everybody laughs)
Sit down honey. It's probably the hospital. I'll get it.
Oh dear! Can't you stay home one night without the hospital calling?
Angela, I'm a doctor. It's my job. Don't make it any harder.
We wants to go. I'm sorry Lynda, forgive me, but he hasn't been home one night this week.
Yeah, I'll come as quick as I can, alright.
Sorry, I must go.
I'll come with you!
No, you stay.
Come on, hurry up! Get those stretchers into emergency! You too! Wait, I'll take this one! That's 15 patients in the last hour!
Dr. Akom, telephone.
Hello. Oh, hello darling. Aha. Sorry honey but you know how it is. Worse, we're getting the overload patients on that hurricane disaster. Look you set up the weekend and I'll be home as soon as I can. Alright, good.
Got you!
(Both laugh)
Ann, come and eat! You can play again all day tomorrow!
OK, Angela! We'll be right in!
That was fun!
Let's eat now, OK?
OK!
Daddy! Daddy, can I have a new bathing suit?
Well now, my lovely sparrow, I think we can arrange that! Let's get you ready for bed, huh? Lift up your arms. Now pull your trowsers.
(Everybody laughs)
Do you want some more oil?
Thank you, my love!
Look!
Isn't it beatiful?
Would you do my back? On my shoulders. Be careful I'm a little bit red.
Stop it! That hurts!
Sorry, you want some more?
Yes, darling.
Where do you want it?
Right there!
Ahhh-oooh, hold it!
Hold it!
There's daddy, see?
Hi!
Hi, Lynda!
Oh, my god! Lynda!
Tony! Tony come quickly! It's Lynda, she's drowning. Tony! Tony! Hurry! Help! Help! It's Lynda! Hurry, Tony! Hurry, she's drowning! She's-- Oh.
I'll kill you!
(Indistinct chatter)
That's my little girl. Go on and eat. Ah, would you like some of that?
No, thank you.
Alright, dear.
Would you like some.
If I could eat it, Ann can too.
But I wanna go swimming out there.
That's why you're not eating.
Ann! Ann! Ann! Ann! Ann? Ahhh!!! Ann! Ann!
Lynda! Lynda! Ahhhhh!!!
No, sir!
Well I want you to keep at it. Keep searching. I wan't to know the minute you find anything. Anything at all, you understand?
Yes, sir!
(Indistinct chatter)
Don't look!
Dr. Stromm! May we have a few words with you? Dr. Stromm, do you think your wife was eaten by a shark?
Look this way, doctor.
Do you care to make any statement at all, Dr. Stromm?
Hi, daddy! Don't forget to buy me the new bathing suit! I want a white one! OK, daddy? Please, daddy, huh? Could I also have a plastic life preserver? I almost know how to swim, but it would help me to learn faster. And then you wouldn't have to be afraid of me going in the water alone. Thank you, daddy. I love you, daddy.
I've spoken to the police. They've only found the remains... Lynda. Oh god, I only knew it was her because of the engagement ring on her finger! They don't think it was a shark?
What do they think it was?
They don't know. The newspapers think it's sort of a monster.
Please accept this letter as my resignation. At present I can not properly devote myself to my duties as a doctor. I will, as you so kindly offered, avail myself of the
facilities of the hospital, by which means I pray I must stop the death and destruction being caused by the creature responsible for my family's death. Regretfully, Dr. Anthony Akom.
Oh easy, easy.
What's that?!
It's a hand!
I say it's just a case of overworking Dr. Akom, plus the emotional strain you've been under. If you're still having trouble in a couple of weeks, drop in and see me.
You alright, doctor?
Yeah, I'm ok.
Read this.
Early this morning a local fisherman, Tanaka Lou Jon, claimed he saw a giant crocodile in the sea.
I know I'm right, John. I've examined those pieces of anatomy over and over, I'm convinced it was the work of a giant crocodile.
A crocodile in the sea?
I read an article in the paper yesterday about a local fisherman, who claims he saw giant crocodile in the sea. Fisherman's name is Tanaka Lou Jon. I'd like you to get ahold of him for me. Tomorrow I have an appointment with an expert on reptiles, Professor Lowes.
Well, Dr. Akom. What information may I offer you? Anything to do with reptiles you got my interest. Let me see now, you mentioned something about a crocodile. Tell me, what is it you want to know? If I can help you I will.
Well, sir. Can a crocodile... can he live in the sea?
Hmmm... that's a very interesting thought!
Have your men checked all the way down the coast?
What creature do you think is doing all these killings?
Or do you think perhaps there's more than one, sir?
What kind of species is it, inspector? Do you have any idea?
Do you think the killer might be human, inspector?
And get snippers on those cliffs!
Professor Lowes read that article about the fisherman and he agrees with me.
That a crocodile can live in the sea?
Aha.
If you're right, how are we going to get it?
I don't know, but I am working on it. By the way, John, did you get ahold of Tanaka?
No, not yet, but I will. You think of using his boat?
Why not, if he's willing?
From the article he seemed like quite a guy!
Hmmm. Yeah!
Tony! Hey, Tony! You alright!
Yeah, I´m just a little dissy.
I love you daddy! I love you daddy! I love you daddy!
Come on John, let's go home.
I know now what we're up against.
You know who the killer is?!
Tell us!
Yeah, tell us!
Who?!
You may not believe me gentlemen, but it's a-a giant crocodile.
A giant crocodile?
Incredible yes, but true!
Are you alright doctor?
Perhaps you've been working too hard lately...
I'm alright! Go on get out! All of you! Get out! Go on!
Alright, alright!
He lives right on the beach, that's why it took me so long to find him. Oh I saw his boat, it looks quite sturdy. Well he should be here any minute, the rain's probably
holding him up.
Come inside, Mr. Lou Jon. Do not worry about my clothes. Please be seated.
Your associate, Dr. Stromm, has put forth your proposition. After thinking it over carefully Dr, I have decided to place myself and my ship at your dispossal.
Great! Thank you, Tanaka!
Now there's three of us! We'll get that crocodile if it's the last thing we do! Well, when do we go after it, Tony?
It won't be long. We must be patient.
To my father.
What is that?
It is a sign of protection against evil. It's been worn by my family for generations. There's an old legend, which says that one day a monster will arise from the sea, to encounter the wings of an eagle. It is the wings of an eagle I proudly wear on my chest. I believe the legend is about to come true. I pray the result will not be the death of us.
(Indistinct chatter)
Godammit don't argue! You have no idea what it's like down here! I want all the ambulances you can get!
You know, John, I was just thinking, can you imagine the size of that beast? He destroyed an entire village as if were a toy! Stoping it isn't going to be easy.
Not only that but we don't even know where it's going to strike next.
Oh, by the way, I recieved this letter this morning, it's from Professor Lowes. After studying the problem he has come to conclusion, that this creature is the result of all this atomic testing going on in our atmosphere. He feels, and I agree, that our giant crocodile is a mutant.
By God, a mutant! How are we going to kill it?
Dr. Akom is right. Tom!
Yes, inspector. What can I do for you? Huh?
You're gonna catch it.
Me sir?! Why me, sir?
Because you are the best that I've got.
Add this, John.
It's not working. It doesn't seem to be having any effect at all! What do we do now, huh?
Put the rest in.
Come on!
That again! Do it again!
(Indistinct chatter)
We did try. It was monstrous! Nobody will ever get him, I tell you!
It's killed again! Another village. Seems to kill every three days.
Yeah, you're right. Wait a minute! If he kills every three days that means he's following a pattern!
Yeah, I wonder... Hey, John, come over here! He hit the first time on the 17th, then once more on the 20th.
Yes?
And the next was on the 23rd. The village of [???] on the 26th, and Pentu on the 29th. It checks out alright. And that's where he is headed, where the sea meets the river.
And next time will be on the 2nd. Tony, shall I tell Tanaka we're going?
Aham.
No! No! No! No! No! Ahhh!
Yes. I gave my word. I must go. Do not worry, my love. The wings of the eagle will protect me.
I pray God he'll return.
John, that's where we'll see him, here. I checked it over five times.
When he comes we should be ready for him. I have every onboard that you ask for, plus a few additions of my own. A light machinegun, a very powerful harpoon gun which could also be useful for exploding your drums of liquid bait and one box of dynamite complete with fuses. The rain will stop soon, tomorrow the sun will shine. It is a good omen.
The sea and river, they meet right there.
So that's where he'll come from.
I want to get a little closer to that point there. We'll dump our bait over there. Now according to my calculations the tide should sweep it over to that point there.
The croc will be coming fron straight out at sea, hopefully the bait will bring him right to us. That's only the apetiser.
A little more, Tanaka, hold it! That's good!
Alright croc, how about some real bait?
All we can do now, is wait.
I don't see how he could have missed us, unless he isn't coming here. What you think, could we be wrong?
The day isn't over yet.
How about something to eat, Tony? Have a sandwitch, I'll do you good.
No thanks. You go ahead and eat it.
Look! Dead ahead!
No, don't shoot at it! It's a boat!
Ahoy there! Take me over to that ladder! Over there, can't you see it? Hi there, nice day! May I come aboard? How about one of you guys give me a hand? Just stand over there I'll hand it out! Ah, thanks. Nice ship you got. I've been looking everywhere for you guys. That's perfect! Oh hi, my name is Peter, you can call me Pete. Captain, a beatiful ship, sir, I wish I could say the same for that thing, it barely got me here. Oh yeah you want some money. Oh my god haha, I'm all rotten luck, wouldn't you know I left my wallet on my other pant? Would you mind giving the guy a couple of bucks, I'll pay you as soon as we got onshore, that's really very kind of you, thanks!
Keep five!
Thank you, sir! Your change, sir!
Oh thank you, thank you very much! I'll pay you back... Yeah, that's a great idea! You don't mind if I take a few pictures from up there, do you? Thanks! Excuse me! You guys are headline material!
Looks like it's human!
Circle around and check the area. Get down of there!
Here, you better wear it just in case. A guy could fall overboard, you know? Go ahead.
Hey, Tanaka!
He's calling you!
Yeah?
Let's cruise around a bit! Maybe the sound will attract him!
Good idea!
John, how are you feeling?
A bit tired, just like you.
Why it hasn't attacked?
You do think he's out there, don't you?
I don't know.
Hey you, Peter! Get up here! Come on, get up here!
Why, what's the matter?
If you're going to stay on this boat, you'll stay and watch like the rest of us. You can take your pictures! Come on, not gonna stand here all night! Ohhh I'm so tired.
I feel I could fall asleep right here.
I wouldn't do that, you might not wake up again!
I suposse. Oh well... In that case, I'll have a drink.
You got enough already!
Give me that!
Hey! Hey! Hey! There's no one awake on deck! Hey! Hey! There's no one awake on deck!
Ok...
Oh well.
Get out, Get out!
I can't get to the door!
It's jammed, the door is ja-ahhh!
Open the door, Tanaka!
We must get it open or we'll die in here!
TANAKA!!!
It's the door that's jammed! It's the lock!
[???]
Forget the lock, smash it down!
Maybe somebody will hear us!
Come on, you dumb door, open!
Hurry up before we all drown!
Hurry it's coming in faster!
I can't my feet under him!
Goddmamn!
I'm sorry about Tanaka. I'll write about him when we get home. Thank God we're still alive.
Light the fuse, John! He's back! We got him, John!
We got him, John!
Hahaha! We did it! We did it! We killed it!
(Cries)
I don't wanna lose these shots. There!
We didn't kill it, it's only wounded.
Tony, look! The lines, he's broken them!
Help him!
Give me your hand!
No, don't! [???] Peter!
