00:00:16 This is the ant. Treat it with respect, for it may very well be the next dominant life form of our planet.
00:00:26 Sound incredible? Impossible. Have you ever taken a good close look at what the ant is all about?
00:00:34 Like these Atacephalotes, one of the 15,000 different species inhabiting our planet,
00:00:42 this one cultivates crops of fungus for food. Others herd aphids, just as man herds cattle.
00:00:52 And what about the warriors, the builders of bridges, roads, tunnels?
00:00:58 Frightening, isn't it, that a creature as small as an ant is able to have a fair claim to rank next to man in the scale of intelligence?
00:01:09 They have a sophisticated communication system. Specific messages are transmitted from one ant to another
00:01:16 through the use of a chemical substance called pheromones. It causes an obligatory response.
00:01:24 Did you hear that? Obligatory. Pheromones give an order that cannot be disobeyed.
00:01:34 It's a mind-bending substance that forces obedience. But we don't have to worry about it.
00:01:42 That's business better left to the ants.

00:05:18 [Music]
00:05:28 [Music]
00:05:54 What took you so long? Oh, I stopped to get some extra liquor. You should have let me know.
00:05:59 I didn't know I was supposed to be on call. You're always supposed to be on call.
00:06:05 Sorry, Miss Frieser. Oh, that's all right, sweetheart.
00:06:11 You're so terrific in the sack that it almost justifies the excessive salary that I have to pay you.
00:06:18 [Music]
00:06:36 By the way, Captain, try and give us the smoothest possible trip, will you?
00:06:41 We don't want any of our prospective buyers getting seasick. Yes, ma'am.
00:06:46 Sick people do not buy property.
00:06:51 Cut between the waves. You do that.
00:06:59 I'm sure you remember, by the way, that I'm paying you damn good money to rent this boat, Captain.
00:07:05 I'm sure that if I forget, you'll remind me.
00:07:12 Well, it looks like our guests are finally arriving.
00:07:17 Sure, a nice boat, isn't it?
00:07:24 We went on a bigger one to Mexico that time.
00:07:29 Yeah, but we paid for that trip.
00:07:36 Two big crews down the coast to look at overpriced swampland.
00:07:40 You always said you wanted a home on the ocean. Yeah, I said a lot of things.
00:07:55 You coming? Yeah.
00:07:58 Yeah, all right.
00:08:00 You in? We'll go for a boat ride.
00:08:12 Here's the ten. Keep the change.
00:08:17 But lady, the fare's 9.80.
00:08:21 Don't mention it.
00:08:38 What are you doing?
00:08:40 The letter said everything was free.
00:08:41 I'm writing down all our expenses so we can be reimbursed.
00:09:05 Before I board your ship, may I ask you a question?
00:09:08 Yes, ma'am.
00:09:10 I just want to make certain that I'm under no obligation to buy any of your property in case I change my mind.
00:09:16 It's not my property, lady. I'll just get you there and get you back.
00:09:21 Thanks.
00:09:23 Jimmy, let's get the circus on the road, huh?
00:09:26 Hi, can you make your house? Yeah.
00:09:27 Oh, hi, I'm Marilyn Pricer. I'm the president of Dreamland Shorts.
00:09:31 I'm Marilyn's new assistant. This is Mr. Glossal, Mr. Lowell, and this is Larry Graham.
00:09:38 I'm going to have everybody on board now.
00:10:07 You think that'll please the bitch?
00:10:24 Ever see anything that did?
00:10:26 What a ripoff.
00:10:28 Yeah, she'll bring a boatload of slobs down here and convince them it's paradise.
00:10:34 You know, it wouldn't be so bad around here if it was close to something.
00:10:37 A road, a town, anything.
00:10:39 What about Diamond Springs?
00:10:41 Sure, that's practically next door.
00:10:43 All you got to do is walk two miles to the river, swim upstream another ten.
00:10:47 You ought to read the contract she makes them sign.
00:10:49 You know, the jerks that buy this swamp land can't even sell it for two years.
00:10:53 Dreamland Shorts won't be here in two years.
00:11:14 Why don't you try some of the meatballs over there?
00:11:16 They are really tasty.
00:11:22 Are you ladies having a good time?
00:11:24 It's marvelous, thank you.
00:11:31 Everything all right here?
00:11:41 Mr. Thompson.
00:11:42 Have you taken some good pictures?
00:11:44 I think I have some dandy.
00:11:45 That's good.
00:11:50 Where the hell are those two guys that you were here to meet?
00:11:52 I suppose they finished their work and they left.
00:11:54 Left?
00:11:56 Well, you can tell them that they're fired.
00:12:00 And speaking of that, why don't you try a little of that old world charm that you're so famous for on our guests?
00:12:06 I am not running a charity organization.
00:12:13 I've always wanted to live near the water.
00:12:15 It's beautiful here, isn't it?
00:12:17 Yes, it is lovely.
00:12:44 How are you doing?
00:12:47 Fine.
00:12:48 Charlie, right?
00:12:49 Right.
00:12:50 Good, Charlie, good.
00:12:52 What are you doing?
00:12:53 Trying to figure out what everybody's doing here?
00:12:58 Here to buy land.
00:12:59 What else?
00:13:00 Oh, not everyone.
00:13:02 Our average is one out of three people come along just for the ride.
00:13:07 Would you be more careful who you invite?
00:13:09 I'd be sure I would like to, but we get stuck with that statistic no matter what.
00:13:17 What about this group?
00:13:20 Think you can figure out who's going to be the buyers and who aren't?
00:13:23 Not exactly.
00:13:24 But I think I've got you figured out.
00:13:30 Tell me.
00:13:32 Not only could you not afford one of our lots, but I think you'd have a hell of a time swinging from boat ride.
00:13:39 Am I right?
00:13:43 Cheers.
00:13:45 Excuse me.
00:13:56 So you've had enough?
00:13:58 Enough what?
00:13:59 Party bullshit.
00:14:01 I know what you mean.
00:14:03 Look, why don't we take a look around, see if this place is for real?
00:14:09 I don't think the wife would like that.
00:14:12 We have different interests.
00:14:16 I'm sure you do.
00:14:18 How about it?
00:14:24 Yes, Mr. Stratton is the vice president of international management consultants.
00:14:29 I've worked for him about 20 years.
00:14:33 He's a personal executive secretary, you understand?
00:14:37 It's quite a responsibility.
00:14:42 Cheap scotch.
00:14:43 I think it's all a come on.
00:14:45 So what?
00:14:46 It's free, isn't it?
00:14:47 That's what Velma and I like the most.
00:14:52 It's a long time to be with one company.
00:14:55 Not when you consider all the benefits that come with it.
00:14:58 Gifts, bonuses, retirement pensions.
00:15:00 No wonder you're looking into land investment.
00:15:03 Well, I wouldn't say that I'm exactly looking for investment.
00:15:07 Now don't you worry, nobody is going to hustle you into buying anything.
00:15:11 Dreamland Shores sells itself.
00:15:18 No, this is not what we came out here for.
00:15:24 You must be crazy or something.
00:15:25 I just met you an hour ago.
00:15:27 When you go in here, I am out in the woods with my hot fingers.
00:15:30 Loosen up, loosen up.
00:15:32 Let me go.
00:15:34 Look, I just got out of one very bad scene.
00:15:37 Not with me, not with me.
00:15:40 Well, it'll be one of the big disappointments of my life.
00:15:43 You're going.
00:15:45 Good girl.
00:15:47 Come on, you know what it's all about.
00:15:50 Let me go, you son of a bitch.
00:15:52 Relax, relax.
00:15:54 That's it, that's it.
00:15:59 I just want to get to know you, that's all.
00:16:02 Just take it easy.
00:16:06 That's it.
00:16:08 We're going to be good friends.
00:16:10 Oh, shit.
00:16:12 Oh, oh.
00:16:22 Excuse me.
00:16:24 I was going to ask you if you'd like to join the entertainment.
00:16:27 But, uh, I see you find your own.
00:16:29 Yeah, we were just, uh, we were just looking around.
00:16:34 Oh, yeah.
00:16:35 Yeah, we were just looking around.
00:16:42 Oh, shit.
00:16:44 [music]
00:17:13 [music]
00:17:42 I'm looking for the party, it's right down there.
00:17:48 I'm not much for parties.
00:17:51 Besides, I want to talk to you.
00:17:54 It's Dan, isn't it?
00:17:57 What do you want to talk about?
00:17:59 Here, this place, dreamland shores.
00:18:04 Look, lady, I told you, I'm just the boat driver.
00:18:06 I get you here and I get you back.
00:18:08 I don't sell the land, all right?
00:18:10 I'm just a little bit busy lately, so you shouldn't care one way or another.
00:18:13 I don't.
00:18:14 I don't give a damn.
00:18:16 You see, I want to open a small business.
00:18:20 Maybe, um, an agency for domestic help.
00:18:25 But it's going to take all the savings I've got, so I've got to make certain that I make the best investment possible.
00:18:33 I don't have any opinions about that.
00:18:35 Well, but you could be honest with me.
00:18:37 This land they're trying to sell us, is it a good thing?
00:18:41 Huh?
00:18:43 Or not?
00:18:45 Look, lady, if you want advice, would you ask somebody else, please?
00:18:50 [chatter]
00:19:06 I just had a pretty rough time of it myself.
00:19:12 And I guess if I weren't so sick of the whole routine, I'd--
00:19:16 I'd probably be doing what you're doing right now.
00:19:19 I beg your pardon?
00:19:22 Oh, all the self-pity. Nobody gives a damn attitude.
00:19:27 What?
00:19:29 The booze.
00:19:33 [chatter]
00:19:39 You know, uh, when I met you on the boat, I didn't like you very much.
00:19:44 It's not exactly a surprise.
00:19:47 Well, I don't know. I guess I--
00:19:49 I guess I just thought you were one of those macho, phony types, you know?
00:19:53 The kind whose brains fall out every time you unzip this fly.
00:19:57 Kids.
00:19:59 Say, what is this, group therapy?
00:20:07 I can't afford to make a mistake, that's all.
00:20:12 I lied to them back there before. I told them I had a good job.
00:20:16 Been working for the same man for 20 years.
00:20:22 Truth of it is, he fired me.
00:20:25 All I've got's severance pay and references.
00:20:33 I've got a job that pays $30,000 a year.
00:20:36 I own a two-bedroom condominium.
00:20:38 I've got a $10,000 sports car.
00:20:41 I got a wife, and I got a four-year-old kid who thinks I'm God.
00:20:44 How's that?
00:20:46 That's terrific. It's fabulous.
00:20:49 Look, I was just trying to tell you that I changed my mind about not liking you.
00:20:54 That's all.
00:20:58 Forget it.
00:21:01 I'm a bad investment.
00:21:03 And why do you say that?
00:21:07 Because the, um...
00:21:12 $30,000-a-year job went in the toilet last year.
00:21:18 And the sports car needs an overhaul.
00:21:22 And my wife is an ex-wife who's suing me for back support.
00:21:28 My kid won't even talk to me on the phone.
00:21:34 What about your condominium?
00:21:39 Plastic.
00:21:41 Like everything else.
00:21:46 Shall we?
00:21:47 Okay.
00:21:51 If it was my money and I was gonna buy this land...
00:21:56 First, I'd make sure they struck oil on it.
00:22:01 And then I'd still think twice.
00:22:05 Does that answer your question?
00:22:09 Okay.
00:22:11 Dan...
00:22:15 You've got a button on your shirt.
00:22:18 You've got time. I always carry needle and thread.
00:22:24 I don't need any buttons.
00:22:47 This building is going to be torn down.
00:22:50 And the Dreamland Shores Beach Club is going to be constructed.
00:22:54 It'll be the most beautiful and modern club imaginable.
00:22:59 If we all get into the tram, we'll be off on our little tour.
00:23:05 Here we go.
00:23:16 Now don't forget, if you have any questions about anything, just shout them out.
00:23:22 We're very informal here on this tour, strictly for your pleasure.
00:23:28 I think all of you boating enthusiasts will be interested in these presently available locks.
00:23:38 Which, as you can see, are conveniently located right next to the marina.
00:23:45 All of the house locks that you see here will be sold on a brick cost for a surfing.
00:23:52 If you do see a particular lock that appeals to you, just tell Charlie O'Dea, we'll give you first refusal.
00:24:00 Mary, what do you think?
00:24:04 It's not what I think, it's what Daddy thinks, isn't it?
00:24:08 Honey, you know my father only wants to help us. Both of us.
00:24:13 Well, he'd help us a lot more if he'd just leave us alone.
00:24:16 Then maybe he'd be satisfied with what I could give you.
00:24:20 You will notice that we have carefully preserved the natural beauty of Dreamland Shores.
00:24:26 Leaving it extremely safe to attend.
00:24:29 You'll be able to take long walks into these secluded areas and discover the delightful wonders of birds and butterflies and fragrant flowers.
00:24:39 For those of you who are golf enthusiasts, you will probably want to be situated overlooking the 18-hole golf course, which will soon be under construction.
00:24:49 After we stop at our picnic area for refreshments, we'll go on and look at some of the inland properties.
00:24:55 Here we are.
00:24:57 Be careful getting out now.
00:25:00 Now, if we're really lucky, we may get some glimpses of some of the fascinating wildlife that's in this area.
00:25:08 Do you know there are a hundred different kinds of birds around here?
00:25:12 Yes?
00:25:14 I've seen over 50 myself.
00:25:18 Charlie?
00:25:20 You want to help me with the sandwiches, Charlie?
00:25:23 Would you like a plate?
00:25:26 Thank you.
00:25:29 Almost looks like those romantic places you used to see in old movies.
00:25:34 What does your husband think about the idea?
00:25:37 He's not very interested.
00:25:39 Oh, what a shame.
00:25:41 But your husband seems to be.
00:25:45 Ah, man, I took one of those long, slow looks.
00:25:51 You know, the kind you take on a rainy weekend when he's home playing goody-goody family man.
00:25:58 I got up one day, got dressed, and told the bastard to go back to his wife.
00:26:07 You know something?
00:26:09 From then on, it was just like a breath of fresh air.
00:26:14 I cashed in my fur coat and all the other little knick-knacks
00:26:18 and decided to buy myself a piece of something really legitimate, like a house.
00:26:23 Where I could go to bed when I wanted to go to bed.
00:26:27 That's why I'm here.
00:26:32 Although, you know, I really don't know what's so great about owning a house.
00:26:42 Thomas, what are you doing?
00:26:44 Looking, just looking.
00:26:46 You're trying to find fault, aren't you?
00:26:49 You don't trust anybody.
00:26:51 Most people are dishonest.
00:26:54 Let's get back to the others.
00:26:56 In a minute, in a minute.
00:27:01 Look at this, Mary. It's a water pipe. It isn't even connected.
00:27:04 It's a fraud, just like I said. These people are dishonest. This is a fraud.
00:27:08 Trust people? I tell you, you can't trust anybody, Mary.
00:27:11 You can't trust anybody.
00:27:14 Well, I hope you've learned your lesson. Look.
00:27:17 What's that sound?
00:27:18 Who cares? I found what I was looking for.
00:27:22 Listen, Thomas, it's all around us.
00:27:25 Mary, will you leave...
00:27:30 My God.
00:27:33 Oh, my God.
00:27:36 Run, Mary, run!
00:27:42 Oh, no, no, no.
00:27:45 Oh, no, no, no.
00:27:48 Oh, no, no, no.
00:27:51 Help, Mary, please, help me.
00:27:54 Oh, no.
00:27:56 Oh!
00:27:59 Oh!
00:28:02 Oh!
00:28:05 Oh!
00:28:10 Oh!
00:28:14 Oh, no!
00:28:16 Oh, no!
00:28:23 Over there, about 50 yards, will be our community recreation center.
00:28:28 It will have a complete workshop and hobby room.
00:28:31 There will be a theater, a bowling alley, pool table, saunas, every convenience.
00:28:36 The Lawsons. Where are the Lawsons?
00:28:39 They ducked out back at the picnic area.
00:28:41 Well, why didn't you say something?
00:28:43 Well, after listening to you on that bullhorn for two hours, I was ready to duck out myself.
00:28:49 Keep moving, Charlie. There's a lot more to see, everybody.
00:28:59 What's that noise?
00:29:07 Seems to be coming from over there.
00:29:11 Oh, it's nothing to worry about. It's probably some of our pumping equipment.
00:29:14 Marilyn, there's no pump. We'd better get back to that boat.
00:29:17 Oh, shut up.
00:29:19 There's nothing to worry about, everybody.
00:29:23 When you compare all the benefits of Greenland Shores with other land investments you may have seen,
00:29:29 I'm certain you will realize what a wonderful value we have here.
00:29:41 Oh, my God!
00:29:44 That's Pete, one of our workers. My God, what happened?
00:29:46 All right, take it easy. Take it easy.
00:29:54 Oh, Jesus.
00:29:57 Hey, we'd better go look for the losses.
00:30:02 Who'll go with me? Larry?
00:30:05 No, I'm not going out there.
00:30:11 Oh, no, not me. I'm an old man.
00:30:14 We only came because it was free. We take these tours all the time.
00:30:18 Nothing ever happened like this before.
00:30:20 It's okay, Harry.
00:30:23 Joe, I'll go with you.
00:30:26 All right.
00:30:28 We'll meet you back at the boat.
00:30:55 Mr. Larson?
00:31:21 Mr. Larson?
00:31:26 Joe?
00:31:31 Oh, my God.
00:31:36 (screaming)
00:31:53 Oh, my God.
00:31:54 What the hell are they?
00:32:00 This is my boat.
00:32:04 (screaming)
00:32:24 Oh, my God.
00:32:27 Take him up down the beach.
00:32:38 Jim!
00:32:41 (screaming)
00:32:52 (screaming)
00:33:18 We're never gonna get out of here.
00:33:19 Why is this happening?
00:33:20 Why?
00:33:31 Harry.
00:33:32 Larson.
00:33:33 I can't believe this.
00:33:36 Oh, God.
00:33:50 They don't like fire, that's for sure.
00:33:53 All we have to do is keep this damn fire going.
00:34:02 They just couldn't be.
00:34:06 Joe.
00:34:08 Ants.
00:34:11 Why don't we go into the old beach house?
00:34:13 We'll be safe inside there.
00:34:15 Without that fire, those things would be inside with us within about two minutes.
00:34:19 God damn it, why do you shoot down everything that I say?
00:34:23 You never did like working for me, just 'cause I'm a woman.
00:34:26 They're waiting.
00:34:28 They're out there waiting until the fire dies.
00:34:33 Can't you hear them?
00:34:36 Where'd they come from?
00:34:38 Where the hell did they get that size?
00:34:53 (screaming)
00:35:17 What are you thinking?
00:35:21 I'm thinking of a way out.
00:35:29 All we wanted was to enjoy what was left of our life.
00:35:36 Is that bad?
00:35:44 Hey, how about some candy?
00:35:47 It's good, it'll make you feel better.
00:35:52 Come on.
00:35:55 It's yours if you want it.
00:36:19 Better get you more wood for that fire.
00:36:21 You're not gonna need any wood.
00:36:25 (explosion)
00:36:41 (explosion)
00:37:02 Charlie?
00:37:03 Yeah.
00:37:05 The tent and the workers.
00:37:08 I didn't bring them, how did they get here?
00:37:10 A river, northern here about two miles.
00:37:14 We've got a boat on that river, a small boat.
00:37:17 You expect us to walk two miles through that jungle?
00:37:20 Oh no, we're gonna stay right here until help comes.
00:37:23 Where the hell is that gonna be, Marilyn?
00:37:25 Look, as soon as they know that we're missing,
00:37:27 they'll say to the search party,
00:37:28 "I am not gonna leave Dreamland Shores."
00:37:30 You can stay here and you can be buried on Dreamland Shores.
00:37:35 If that fire goes out, I'm gonna be someplace else.
00:37:44 Well, you wanna try for the river or not?
00:37:48 It's unanimous, Joe.
00:37:50 We're all too scared to boat.
00:37:56 No.
00:37:57 No, they'll kill us.
00:38:00 If they want to do it, just wait for them here.
00:38:08 Charlie, we're not leaving.
00:38:11 I'm gonna stay here and you're gonna stay with me.
00:38:13 We're gonna go into the beach house.
00:38:15 You're crazy, Marilyn!
00:38:16 We've gotta go!
00:38:18 Marilyn!
00:38:22 Marilyn!
00:38:35 [screaming]
00:38:38 Oh, God!
00:38:39 [screaming]
00:39:08 Keep going.
00:39:11 Come on.
00:39:17 Keep going.
00:39:20 The beach house is full of them!
00:39:22 Pheasants and giant ants!
00:39:27 Come on, we gotta get out of here.
00:39:40 Come on, hurry up.
00:39:42 Be careful.
00:39:44 Just don't stop.
00:39:47 Hold it.
00:39:50 [screaming]
00:40:08 I can't keep up.
00:40:09 I can't keep up.
00:40:10 Let's go this way.
00:40:11 [screaming]
00:40:25 Careful, now.
00:40:26 Don't stop.
00:40:27 I can't.
00:40:28 I can't.
00:40:29 Come on, keep going.
00:40:31 Come on, keep going.
00:40:46 Wait, wait, we'll be safe in there.
00:40:53 [screaming]
00:41:02 Larry, wait!
00:41:03 What?
00:41:04 Oh.
00:41:08 My ankle!
00:41:09 Huh?
00:41:10 What?
00:41:14 [screaming]
00:41:17 Larry!
00:41:18 [screaming]
00:41:26 Larry, don't leave me!
00:41:28 Larry!
00:41:29 [screaming]
00:41:47 Come on, let's go.
00:41:49 Come on!
00:42:01 Larry!
00:42:02 Jerry!
00:42:12 Oh, Jerry!
00:42:13 Oh, no!
00:42:14 No, Jerry!
00:42:15 No!
00:42:16 No!
00:42:17 No!
00:42:18 [screaming]
00:42:27 [screaming]
00:42:35 [screaming]
00:42:55 The rain stopped.
00:42:57 It's a good omen.
00:43:00 Yeah.
00:43:01 Oh, look.
00:43:11 All right?
00:43:14 There it is.
00:43:16 There's the boat.
00:43:26 Joe!
00:43:35 We're coming through.
00:43:41 We lost the old couple.
00:43:49 Hang on.
00:43:53 What about Christine?
00:43:54 No, she didn't make it.
00:43:57 Come on.
00:43:58 I'm not going with you.
00:43:59 Get in the boat.
00:44:00 Charlie's dead.
00:44:01 I want to stay with him.
00:44:02 Get in the goddamn boat!
00:44:10 Okay, Joe.
00:44:11 Let's go.
00:44:23 Put your fingers out of the way.
00:44:43 Move it.
00:44:44 Move it.
00:44:45 You're working for me, remember?
00:44:48 I'm still in charge here.
00:44:51 Would you like to row?
00:44:57 Very funny.
00:45:10 [screaming]
00:45:22 [screaming]
00:45:42 [screaming]
00:46:02 [screaming]
00:46:22 [screaming]
00:46:42 [screaming]
00:47:02 It's so quiet.
00:47:03 God, why is it so quiet?
00:47:06 He got away from them.
00:47:07 We left them all back there.
00:47:09 We did, didn't we, Joe?
00:47:11 Yeah.
00:47:14 Thank God we're safe.
00:47:17 Charlie never got away from them.
00:47:19 We'll never get away from them.
00:47:23 This turned out to be one hell of a free vacation.
00:47:32 I love Christine, you know.
00:47:46 I hope that nice old couple got away.
00:47:50 What were their names?
00:47:53 Harry and Velma.
00:47:57 I wish I hadn't seen Charlie die like that.
00:48:06 What was I supposed to do?
00:48:09 She ran off.
00:48:10 I turned around and she was gone.
00:48:12 I went to look for her.
00:48:18 Nobody's blaming you, Larry.
00:48:20 We're not saying it's your fault.
00:48:23 You think I saw the ants kill her, don't you?
00:48:26 Go ahead and say it.
00:48:27 Go on.
00:48:30 Why would we think that?
00:48:55 Mr. Stratton always liked a cup of nice hot tea at the end of a hard day.
00:49:16 With a slice of orange peel.
00:49:20 I took very good care of him.
00:49:25 I started there as a file clerk.
00:49:28 And after all those years, do you know how they gave me my, uh, my notice of termination?
00:49:35 It was a little piece of paper.
00:49:38 A memo.
00:49:41 "Dear Miss Ellis, this is to inform you that your services are no longer required and your
00:49:49 employment is hereby terminated.
00:49:53 You will receive the usual severance pay as is customary with this firm."
00:50:03 Mr. Stratton didn't even sign it.
00:50:18 I've never done anything like this.
00:50:20 Never taken any chances.
00:50:22 Never done anything dangerous.
00:50:25 It's unfair that this should happen to me.
00:50:28 Oh, Larry.
00:50:30 Any consolation to you, none of us is enjoying this boat ride any more than you are.
00:50:34 I mean, part of the river looks like it comes from that way.
00:50:53 It's to the left.
00:50:54 We should go left.
00:50:56 Glad somebody's sure.
00:51:00 Either way, just as long as we keep moving.
00:51:02 It's my life, goddammit!
00:51:03 Go left!
00:51:05 Go left!
00:51:07 Go left!
00:51:11 Go left!
00:51:15 Go left!
00:51:19 Go left!
00:51:23 Go left!
00:51:27 Go left!
00:51:31 Go left!
00:51:34 Go left!
00:51:38 Go left!
00:51:42 Go left!
00:51:45 Go left!
00:51:49 Go left!
00:51:53 Go left!
00:51:57 Go left!
00:52:01 Go left!
00:52:05 Go left!
00:52:09 Go left!
00:52:13 Go left!
00:52:16 Go left!
00:52:19 (water trickling)
00:52:48 - Congratulations, Larry.
00:52:49 You're also a dynamite navigator.
00:52:51 - Go to hell.
00:52:52 - Shut up, you two.
00:52:53 - Why don't you all shut up?
00:52:59 - You get around it, I know my directions.
00:53:03 - You say so, Larry.
00:53:04 You're the navigator.
00:53:05 - You know what?
00:53:16 - What's that?
00:53:17 - Why don't we just walk around the corner?
00:53:22 - How can we get past that?
00:53:23 - Jim!
00:53:26 Jim!
00:53:27 Jim!
00:53:28 (screaming)
00:53:30 (screaming)
00:53:33 - Get him away, get him away!
00:53:40 - Jim!
00:53:41 - Jim!
00:53:44 (screaming)
00:53:47 (screaming)
00:53:49 (screaming)
00:53:52 - Get the ball away!
00:53:53 Get the ball away!

00:54:25 (water splashing)
00:54:28 (water splashing)
00:54:31 - Larry, I'm sorry.
00:54:58 I'm sorry about the navigator crack.
00:55:00 It matters.
00:55:02 - It doesn't.
00:55:03 - Okay, forget it.
00:55:06 - We're all on edge.
00:55:08 We say things we don't mean.
00:55:11 - Yeah, well, tell that bitch, don't tell me.

00:56:30 - God help me!
00:56:48 - Watch these vines around your feet.
00:56:56 - I can't swim.
00:56:57 Okay.
00:57:01 (screaming)
00:57:11 - Let's continue upstream.
00:57:16 I'll just follow you.
00:57:20 (screaming)
00:57:23 (growling)
00:57:31 (growling)
00:57:36 (growling)
00:57:48 (growling)
00:57:50 - Hold it!
00:58:06 - What, what is it?
00:58:10 - Nah.
00:58:10 Nothing.
00:58:13 Thought I heard something.
00:58:16 - Listen, wait a minute.
00:58:18 Now I told you that this river
00:58:19 didn't lead anywhere, didn't I?
00:58:21 - Now you should have listened to me, damn it!
00:58:24 Well I just don't care what the rest of you do,
00:58:25 I am gonna go in this direction!
00:58:27 - Marilyn, Marilyn!
00:58:29 (screaming)
00:58:31 (screaming)
00:58:45 (screaming)
00:58:48 - It's all right, it's all right.
00:58:58 It's all right.
00:59:00 - What do we do now?
00:59:13 - Obviously they can kill us any time they want to.
00:59:17 They just don't seem to want to right now.
00:59:21 - Why not?
00:59:22 - Can't you tell?
00:59:26 - What do you mean?
00:59:28 - I mean they don't want us to go that way
00:59:29 and they don't want us to go back the way we came.
00:59:39 - The river only leads one way, upstream.
00:59:43 - Oh my God, they're hurting us like cattle!
00:59:48 (somber music)
01:00:03 (footsteps)
01:00:05 (screaming)
01:00:18 - Now where did they come from?
01:00:28 (screaming)
01:00:31 - Let's get out of here.
01:00:44 (screaming)
01:00:46 (footsteps)
01:00:49 (screaming)
01:00:51 (footsteps)
01:00:53 (screaming)
01:00:56 (footsteps)
01:00:58 (screaming)
01:01:00 (footsteps)
01:01:04 (screaming)
01:01:06 (footsteps)
01:01:08 (footsteps)
01:01:11 (screaming)
01:01:13 (footsteps)
01:01:15 (screaming)
01:01:21 (suspenseful music)
01:01:33 - Oh my God, it's civilization!
01:01:42 (screaming)
01:01:44 - Where are we?
01:01:47 - Is there a town near here?
01:01:50 - You folks look like you've been out
01:01:51 in that storm all night.
01:01:54 - It wasn't the storm that bothered us.
01:01:56 - There's a real horror show coming up river, behind us.
01:02:00 - Giant ants, big as you are.
01:02:04 - They've already killed some people.
01:02:07 - Feebail called us, sir.
01:02:09 - Have you seen them?
01:02:12 - Phoebe called us, sir.
01:02:14 Phoebe is a very good wife.
01:02:18 (suspenseful music)
01:02:21 - Giant ants, that's hard to believe.
01:02:39 - Never thought I'd live to see the day.
01:02:42 - Well, what are you gonna do, Sheriff?
01:02:44 - Well, first thing, I'm gonna get you people situated,
01:02:48 then I'll get some deputies and go back to river
01:02:50 and start searching.
01:02:51 - I told you, those things are vicious as hell.
01:02:55 - Couple of deputies aren't gonna do you much good.
01:02:57 - Well, I've got a whole town if I need it.
01:02:59 - Look, I don't know how many of those things are out there.
01:03:01 - Don't worry about it.
01:03:02 Any ants come this way, we'll take care of 'em.
01:03:07 - Ah, the sugar refinery.
01:03:09 On the way back, I better alert them.
01:03:11 They're so close to the river.
01:03:13 You folks don't have to worry anymore.
01:03:15 All you have to do is rest and unwind,
01:03:18 and we'll get you cleaned up.
01:03:21 (alarm ringing)
01:03:24 (alarm ringing)
01:03:27 - I radioed one of my deputies to make arrangements.
01:03:45 I hope this place is nice enough for you folk.
01:03:47 - That's very kind of you, Sheriff.
01:03:50 - Hey, Sheriff, I'd like to make a phone call.
01:03:54 I got a friend at the state capitol
01:03:55 who'll get some help out of here fast.
01:03:56 - Sure, go ahead.
01:03:58 - What I really want to do is go home.
01:04:02 - Soon as we get that main highway open,
01:04:04 you can all be on your way.
01:04:05 - Don't tell me your problems, Harrison,
01:04:07 and I won't tell you mine.
01:04:09 I want that shipment of sugar in my town
01:04:11 by day after tomorrow at the latest,
01:04:12 or you can forget it.
01:04:13 - Mayor, we got some customers here.
01:04:16 - Hey, wait a minute, long distance phone.
01:04:19 - Yeah, I'd like to place a person to person call
01:04:21 for Mr. John Amstad in the state attorney's office
01:04:24 at the capitol.
01:04:26 - Any more problems, you call me at once, you hear?
01:04:28 - Hanson Parker, he owns some motel.
01:04:30 He's also our mayor.
01:04:31 - Very well.
01:04:33 - Don't take three days to drive those rigs
01:04:35 from your place to mine, Harrison.
01:04:36 It's a lousy 800 miles.
01:04:38 Tell them men to drive all night if they have to.
01:04:41 - Remember that sugar refinery we passed on the way here?
01:04:45 Something funny.
01:04:47 - Funny?
01:04:49 - Yeah.
01:04:51 When we were back at that old couple's house,
01:04:54 the woman said something to me
01:04:55 that just didn't make sense, that's all.
01:04:58 - What did she say?
01:04:59 - She said, "Whatever you do,
01:05:02 "don't let them take you to the sugar refinery."
01:05:06 Isn't that crazy?
01:05:08 - There's no way to get a call through.
01:05:13 Damn it, don't you have some emergency lines?
01:05:16 - It's none of your business, Harrison,
01:05:17 what I'm doing with the sugar.
01:05:19 Our refinery is turning out all it can.
01:05:22 Full blast.
01:05:23 And we need more.
01:05:24 Okay, fine.
01:05:27 Bye-bye.
01:05:29 - Sorry.
01:05:32 Sorry, a little business problem.
01:05:35 You must be the folks who came up the river
01:05:37 from Dreamland Shores.
01:05:38 - How'd you know we came from Dreamland Shores?
01:05:41 - Fix these people up with something real nice, Mayor.
01:05:44 - The best in the house.
01:05:46 Now just sign the register, please.
01:05:47 - I guess I've done everything that I can here.
01:05:49 I'll go back to the river and look for
01:05:51 what you were talking about.
01:05:53 - A problem, Sheriff?
01:05:54 - I'll tell you later when I have more time.
01:05:56 If I find anything, I'm gonna let you know.
01:05:58 - You'll find something.
01:06:00 - You know, I think you're right.
01:06:03 - Is there any place around here I can rent a car?
01:06:13 - A couple of blocks up the street.
01:06:15 - Good, we're gonna wanna get home.
01:06:18 Why don't you guys get some rest for a while?
01:06:20 - Oh, I'll sleep to that.
01:06:22 - Well, I need a hot bath.
01:06:24 - If you fellas have any problems, just tell 'em to call me.
01:06:29 - Yeah, we'll do that.
01:06:30 Thanks.
01:06:31 - Finished your phone call?
01:06:36 - No, all the lines are down because of the storm.
01:06:40 - That's fine, but Mayor was talking long distance.
01:06:42 How do you suppose I got his call through?
01:06:46 (dramatic music)
01:06:48 (dramatic music)
01:06:51 (dramatic music)
01:06:54 (dramatic music)
01:06:57 (dramatic music)
01:06:59 (dramatic music)
01:07:02 (dramatic music)
01:07:05 (dramatic music)
01:07:08 (dramatic music)
01:07:10 - Driver's license.
01:07:34 - Yes, we needed to verify that you're a qualified driver.
01:07:38 - I lost it.
01:07:39 What about you?
01:07:41 - No, I don't have anything.
01:07:41 Look, miss, the Mayor said if we had any trouble,
01:07:44 you could call him, right?
01:07:45 - Well, I will need a name.
01:07:47 - You didn't lose that, did you?
01:07:50 - Joseph Morrison.
01:07:52 - And your local address, Mr. Morrison?
01:07:55 - We don't have a local address.
01:07:58 Just a motel where we stayed.
01:07:59 - I see.
01:08:00 - Look, honey, will you just call the Mayor
01:08:02 and get us a car, all right?
01:08:03 - Well, I'm supposed to follow the rules.
01:08:05 - Couldn't you bend the rules?
01:08:07 - Couldn't you bend the rules a little bit?
01:08:09 - Maybe I can process the application a different way.
01:08:12 - All right.
01:08:13 - Can you come back later?
01:08:14 - How much later?
01:08:15 - Tomorrow.
01:08:16 - Tomorrow?
01:08:18 - It's the best I can do.
01:08:22 (dramatic music)
01:08:25 (door creaking)
01:08:27 - That's the only car rental agency in town.
01:08:46 Son of a bitch lied to us.
01:08:54 They said they were going downriver and look for the ads.
01:08:58 (gentle music)

01:09:54 - I hope that's the last we see of that place.
01:10:08 - What are you looking for?
01:10:18 - Looking for a gun.
01:10:20 - I thought that we'd be that lucky.
01:10:23 This would be life.
01:10:25 And maps of Florida.
01:10:28 And some road flares.
01:10:32 - Well, at least we're set if the car breaks down.
01:10:49 - Shit.

01:12:46 - I got a chance if we can get to the river
01:13:02 and find a boat, get help for the others.
01:13:06 Come on.

01:17:35 Why we must obey.
01:17:36 (metal clanging)
01:17:38 We have no choice.
01:17:40 She makes us do it.
01:17:42 (footsteps tapping)
01:17:45 At first, the people don't understand.

01:18:02 After their indoctrination, they realize that the ants
01:18:06 only want us to take care of them and to feed them.
01:18:11 Every week, the people must be brought back here
01:18:14 to be indoctrinated again.
01:18:16 She's the only one that can do it.
01:18:22 She's the queen ant.
01:18:24 You see how easy it is.
01:18:33 Once you feel her energy, then you'll understand
01:18:35 that we can all work together.
01:18:38 We can all do what the ant wants to.
01:18:41 Work for them, feed them.
01:18:43 That's the way it should be, for they are superior.
01:18:47 Since you are our guests,
01:18:58 won't you take the front of the line, please?
