What about some urine ?

For a drug test.

- Get me a container.

[Sheriff] You killed it ?
You annihilated it.

00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920
It must have molted.
It’s just empty exoskeleton.

Well, at least we have evidence
that cockroaches were actually here.

We've got more
than that, Sheriff.

I think that bug's exoskeleton
was made of metal.
180
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,480
Nothing more than
a skin abrasion.

An abrasion caused by
a metallic substance ?

of the compound is finished...

to any conclusions ?

I see the correlation, but just because
I work for the federal government...

on cockroaches.

- Experiments ?

- Brain aneurysm ?
- Straining too forcefully...

for bursting a brain aneurysm.

Back in the mid-'80s,
there was a cockroach species
previously only found in Asia,

and since then, it's made
an appearance in Florida.

They've now completely established
themselves in this country.

- Do they attack people ?
- No, but they exhibit behavior
different than domestic breeds.

They fly for long distances,
and they're attracted to light.

00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,040
- But do they attack people ?
- I'm suggesting that what's
happening out there...
243
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,120
might be the introduction
to this country of a new
species of cockroach,

Remember that Dr. Eckerle who was

is methane gas.

from outside the country.

Now, maybe you can
confirm this with your Dr. Bambi,

are dung-eaters.

have been shipped accidentally
