Eating her curds and whey And along came a spider That sat down beside her And frightened Miss Muffet... If you girls don't settle down then Shelley can't stay over any more. - We can't sleep. - We keep scaring each other. Why don't you two go sleep in my room for a while? Okay. Nah, we don't need this. Son of a bitch. Where are all the other crickets? Where are all your buddies? Atherton. Yes, Dr Atherton. I'm Ross Jennings. I'm a general practitioner, and I... I have a problem that may be spider-related. You seem to be the foremost authority on the West Coast. Or any coast, for that matter. Dr Jennings, let me tell you that every so often in a little town somewhere there is a health scare, some unexplained outbreak, and spiders make convenient culprits. Did you know that on every suburban acre there are at least 50 to 60,000 spiders? And that each spider eats about 100 insects per year? That means at least 5 million insects are consumed per acre annually. Think about it, doctor. Perhaps man might find the planet uninhabitable without spiders. Dr Atherton, I have nothing against spiders. It's just we have had three deaths in my town and I'm afraid there's going to be some more. If you could lend me your expertise, forjust an afternoon... We're really not that far from you. It's a town called Canaima. You know it? It's familiar. Let me see what I can do. Where are you exactly? Collins? - Sorry. - Are you equally busy tomorrow? Dr Atherton? No, I'm Chris Collins, one of his assistants. Hi, I'm Chris. Atherton's really busy lately. He's recently discovered a new species of spider. Down in South America. To us, it's a big deal. I hope you'll be able to help us. We're going to be examining some bodies. It sounds like a blast. We're looking for bites. Like this. That's a spider, isn't it? I'm not sure. I think so. But even at several times the potency of latrodectus. - Black widow, right? - Right. Even then it would take more than one bite to kill, so I figure this guy's death and the spider bite, if it a spider bite, are coincidental. Hey, guys, how's it going? Poor Margaret. She was a good wife, good teacher, good neighbour. Excellent cook. Anything you want, just shout. I want some fresh air. Chris, come here. Still think it's a coincidence? That's a spider bite. The tissue surrounding the bite is macerated. Found one. A mark behind the left ear. - Atherton. - Dr Atherton, Chris Collins. I think we've got a big problem here in Canaima. They've got three dead bodies. The cause of death seems to be a spider more deadly than any I've ever seen. They want the okay to quarantine the town. - Are you sure? - This is way out of my league. I think you'd better come up here right away. I can be there tomorrow afternoon. But Collins, try and find me a specimen. Did you bring the keys? Great. Perk up, Lloyd. If we find the spider that did this, you can arrest him. Milt, why don't you cover the living room? Chris, why don't you check out back? Lloyd, take the kitchen. And I'll just... I'll oversee the... I'll just coordinate the... I'll just stay right here. What is all that crap? Leftovers. Mostly cricket parts, wings, legs. We haven't heard any crickets in Canaima these past few weeks. Ross, here! Don't move! - It's dead. Shit! - What could have killed it? The shock of seeing Lloyd? There are other people in this house. Dad, go away! Use the one down here! Never a moment's peace. What happened? Are you all right? Why don't we just take the dead spider and get out of here? You don't get off that easy. It's already desiccated. It wouldn't be any use to us. You mean macerated. No, I mean desiccated. Dried up, drained of all its blood. Macerated is the... ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Место встречи изменить нельзя на английском - текст Я люблю тебя на английском - текст Завещание профессора Доуэля на английском - текст Железный орёл на английском - текст В бой идут одни старики на английском |
