Add to basketTeleplay in pinned wrappers. Quarto. Mechanically produced sheets printed on the rectos only; 100 pp. Teleplay by Melinda M. Snodgrass, with the story by George R.R. Martin. This is the First Draft script dated August 3, 1994 (the episode was first broadcast on the Showtime television network on March 26, 1995 as part of the first season of The Outer Limits). Produced by Justis Greene, and directed by Stuart Gillard, the cast included Beau Bridges as Dr. Simon Kress, Helen Shaver as Cathy Kress, Dylan Bridges as Josh Kress, Kim Coates as Dave Stockley, Lloyd Bridges as Col. Kress, Patricia Harras as Debbie, Nathaniel DeVeaux as Security Captain, Deryl Hayes as Policeman, Mark Saunders as Lab Assistant, J.B. Bivens as Mover, and David Cameron as Technician #1. In "Sandkings," Dr. Simon Kress's research for the government on Martian life is aborted because one of his specimens almost escapes into the natural environment. However, Kress does not agree with the abandonment of the project and decides to continue his experiments in his barn. He strongly believes that the insect-like species is actually sentient. He steals some sand containing Martian eggs from his lab and creates a makeshift incubator to hatch more of the Martian lifeforms. In the meantime, Kress deals with growing discord with his wife over financial troubles, his obsession with work and the stress of concealing the stolen Martian lifeforms from his former supervisors at the government lab. Kress comes to believe that he is a god to his sandkings when they erect sand structures that resemble his face. Bitten by one of the sandkings, his obsession peaks as he alienates his wife, son, father, and kills his former supervisor by throwing him in the sandking incubator, where the creatures ? already starved by Kress as an experiment ? quickly devour him. In the end, Kress attempts to destroy all the sandkings but fails. In the epilogue of the episode, a colony of sandkings is shown surviving in the wilderness. Near fine.
