00:00:22Mission control, bloodhound alpha, bloodhound alpha, no sign of the target in sector 5.
00:00:32This is a god damn waste of time, he could be a thousand miles away by now, not in his
00:00:37condition.
00:00:42What's that over there? Bingo. Mission control, this is bloodhound alpha, we're on his tail.
00:00:59What's that over there?

00:06:10BIRDS CHIRP
00:06:12BIRDS CHIRP
00:06:13BIRDS CHIRP
00:06:27Had that coming, you bastard.
00:06:31No fair! You're dead!
00:06:32I killed you fair and square, you son of a...
00:06:34How many times have I told you not to curse?
00:06:37How many times have I told you to keep your hands to yourself?
00:06:39All right. Easy, killer.
00:06:41That'll teach you to strike a defenseless woman, not your girlfriend, you know.
00:06:44No, she's still out there somewhere.
00:06:47Her and Travis.
00:06:49They say we gang up on them.
00:06:51Isn't that cheating?
00:06:53What they say about love and war.
00:06:55And this is both of them.
00:06:57Let's get them.
00:06:58Yeah.
00:07:18Who the hell are they?
00:07:19Must be another team.
00:07:21I say we rush them.
00:07:22Too many.
00:07:23Don't be offensive.
00:07:25Besides, we're after Travis and Brooke.
00:07:26Focus on the objective.
00:07:27Focus on the objective.
00:07:28Gee, Jiggs, a couple weeks in the reserves and you're John Wayne or something.
00:07:31Quiet.
00:07:32Who kicked your ass back there?
00:07:33That's what I want to know.
00:07:34Quiet.
00:07:49Looks deserted.
00:07:50Make a good hiding place, wouldn't it?
00:07:51What if they found it first?
00:07:53I bet they did.
00:07:54Brooke, anyway.
00:07:55She likes to ambush.
00:07:56Split up.
00:07:57You take that side, I'll go the other way.
00:07:58Who's giving the orders around here?
00:08:00I am?
00:08:01You're so tough.
00:08:28You're so tough.
00:08:41Dad.
00:09:11...
00:09:29Let's go.
00:09:54What the hell are you doing to him?
00:10:22No funny moves.
00:10:25Who are you?
00:10:26What are you doing here?
00:10:28You're one of them, aren't you?
00:10:32You put your hands behind your head.
00:10:34Now get moving.
00:10:36That way.
00:10:37Nice and easy.
00:10:38I'll use this thing if I have to.
00:10:39I swear.
00:10:41I'll blow your freaking head off.
00:10:42What about my friend?
00:10:43He's okay.
00:10:44I checked him out.
00:10:45Don't worry about him.
00:10:46What's this all about anyway?
00:10:48Like you don't know.
00:10:49No more talk now.
00:10:50Just get going.
00:10:50Don't worry.
00:11:21Take off your clothes.
00:11:23What?
00:11:24You heard me.
00:11:25All of them.
00:11:25Now.
00:11:28I knew you were a pervert the minute I saw you.
00:11:38Put them in there.
00:11:41You want to have some fun with them later?
00:11:42Just do it.
00:11:58I had a black lace number you might have liked even better.
00:12:01In there.
00:12:30Let me out.
00:12:32Let me out.
00:12:33Let me out.
00:12:34Please.
00:12:35Please let me out.
00:12:37No!
00:13:16I don't know.
00:13:53Only two of you left.
00:14:04Who's going to be the next one to give his life for science, huh?
00:14:08Sorry little fella, it can't be helped.
00:14:11It's a couple of lab rats versus five billion human beings.
00:14:16Sometimes it doesn't seem like a fair trade.
00:14:20Oh well.
00:14:23I might not be far behind you.
00:14:27In you go.
00:14:42I guess I should have a farm.
00:14:44I'm a big fan.
00:14:46I'm a big fan.
00:14:50I'm not going to be a big fan.
00:14:52I'm not going to be a big fan.
00:14:54I'm not going to be a big fan.
00:15:00Let's go.
00:15:46I don't know.
00:15:57I don't know.
00:16:38I don't know.
00:16:54I don't know.
00:17:25Brooke.
00:17:25Are you okay?
00:17:26Yeah, I guess so.
00:17:28What the hell is going on here?
00:17:30No clue.
00:17:31I saw a big guy, like a bug man.
00:17:34Yeah, I saw him too.
00:17:35Come on, let's get somewhere safe.
00:17:38Man, that's a hell of a bump.
00:17:40I think you're going to be okay, though.
00:17:42Where's Beth?
00:17:42I thought she was with you.
00:17:44That guy must have gone.
00:17:45What, the bug man?
00:17:46Yeah, the bug man.
00:17:47There's some seriously weird, dangerous shit going on here.
00:17:50Let's just find Beth and get the hell out of here.
00:17:52Yeah, I don't think we can.
00:17:53What do you mean?
00:17:55I'm trying to get out like an hour ago and some guy shot at me.
00:17:57Real bullets.
00:17:59He almost blew my head off.
00:18:00Jesus.
00:18:01Yeah.
00:18:02What about Travis?
00:18:03Travis, he's still outside.
00:18:04He was trying to ambush you guys in the woods.
00:18:06Well, at least he's safe.
00:18:29Look at these guys.
00:18:31I bet you think you're hot stuff.
00:18:35Let's see how good you really are.
00:18:52What a bunch of amateurs.
00:18:55Game on.
00:19:25Somebody get a garbage detail in here.
00:19:35I'm such an idiot sometimes.
00:19:38What are we going to do?
00:19:40We're going to get Beth back.
00:19:42Get the hell out of here.
00:19:44How?
00:19:45One thing at a time.
00:19:46He's got a gun.
00:19:48So do I.
00:19:49He's got a real gun.
00:19:51Yeah, well, maybe he won't know we're bluffing.
00:19:54Yeah.
00:19:55Maybe he'll blow our freaking heads off.
00:20:25What are you doing?
00:20:26I get to ask the questions now.
00:20:28I knew you were one of them.
00:20:30I knew it.
00:20:31Let me out of here.
00:20:31You don't understand the danger you're in.
00:20:32Shut up.
00:20:33Shut up.
00:20:35For God's sake.
00:20:36Shut up.
00:20:38Shut up.
00:20:40Did you hear that?
00:20:41Yeah, I think it came from this way.
00:20:44Beth?
00:20:45Beth?
00:20:47Beth?
00:20:49Beth?
00:21:09What the hell is happening here?
00:21:11That's what I'm trying to figure out.
00:21:12Who are those people outside, and why are they shooting at us?
00:21:15Like you don't know.
00:21:17We don't know.
00:21:18Why are you carrying those weapons?
00:21:20Some paintball guns.
00:21:21It's a game.
00:21:21You think this is a game?
00:21:24The future for the entire planet depends on what happens here in the next few hours.
00:21:28This isn't any paintball gun.
00:21:30Beth?
00:21:31Well, I want some straight answers.
00:21:33You can't kill me.
00:21:34I'm the only hope the human race has.
00:21:36If I don't finish my work here, it's over.
00:21:38You can't finish your work tied to a chair, can you?
00:21:41Of course not.
00:21:42So why don't you tell us what's going on, and we'll let you go.
00:21:52Okay.
00:21:55All right.
00:21:58My name is Dr. Philip Boscovic.
00:22:02I was in charge of a government project to develop a biological weapon for military use
00:22:11that could be contained.
00:22:12Kill everything within a prescribed radius, and then die out within a predetermined time
00:22:15period before it gets spread beyond the target area.
00:22:18Lovely.
00:22:19Oh, don't get all self-righteous with me.
00:22:20We've all done stuff we're ashamed of.
00:22:22Yeah, I hear you.
00:22:23I stole a Spider-Man comic when I was nine.
00:22:25I haven't been the same since.
00:22:27So what went wrong?
00:22:32It mutated unpredictably.
00:22:34In its present form, no one fully understands its properties, but it is a potentially unstoppable
00:22:39contagion that could devastate life on this planet if it gets out of control.
00:22:43It's the dingus.
00:22:44No!
00:22:45But he keeps staring at it.
00:22:46Stay away from that!
00:22:48So you created this super virus all by yourself in this dump?
00:22:51Of course not.
00:22:54My partner and I escaped with the only samples.
00:22:58God, I don't know what happened to him.
00:23:02I hid here until I could find a means to render the virus harmless.
00:23:06But now they've found me.
00:23:08One more question.
00:23:10Who are those guys outside that won't let us go?
00:23:13Government troops.
00:23:14They don't look like military.
00:23:15They're not supposed to.
00:23:17They don't want any panic.
00:23:19Why don't they just rush in and take you out?
00:23:21I don't know!
00:23:24Maybe they finally believe me.
00:23:25I don't know.
00:23:27They should contend for the moment just to bide their time until they figure out their
00:23:31next move.
00:23:33Keep me contained here.
00:23:35Just like you.
00:23:37You might also be contaminated.
00:23:39Right.
00:23:41You guys want to join me outside for a minute?
00:23:43Wait a second!
00:23:45You said you were going to let me go!
00:23:48You said you were going to let me go!
00:23:49You said you were going to let me...
00:23:50I knew it.
00:23:51I knew you were one of them, you lying bastard!
00:23:54Well, you know what?
00:23:54I'm not going to do your dirty work anymore!
00:23:59What do you think?
00:24:04What do I think?
00:24:05I think his mom left him at the Trekkie convention too long.
00:24:08That's what I think.
00:24:09Are you buying that crappy spouting?
00:24:11No.
00:24:11No, I'm not.
00:24:12I just...
00:24:13I don't know.
00:24:20I don't see anybody.
00:24:21I do.
00:24:22Behind that tree over there.
00:24:25There are at least two others.
00:24:27There and there.
00:24:29Those are the guys that shot at you?
00:24:30Close enough.
00:24:31Let's see.
00:24:33Hold on.
00:24:34Oh God!
00:24:35Ben!
00:24:59Oh God, Beth.
00:25:00For God's sake, get back.
00:25:18Oh my God!
00:25:29I guess they don't want us going out there.
00:25:31Are you okay?
00:25:32I don't know.
00:25:34Ow!
00:25:34Looks like it just passed through some baby fat.
00:25:36Shut up.
00:25:39Ow.
00:25:40Ow!
00:25:40James, you're hurting her!
00:25:42She's tough.
00:25:43I think we just need to stop the bleeding.
00:25:49You need a doctor.
00:25:51Really?
00:25:52James, what are we going to do?
00:25:53Call 911.
00:26:00Why didn't you stop and come back in when they started shooting at you?
00:26:03I wanted to see if they were bluffing.
00:26:05Now you know, don't you?
00:26:06Hello?
00:26:07Hello, yes.
00:26:08Listen.
00:26:09I'm with some friends of mine.
00:26:10We're in the old house out on Holleran Road.
00:26:13Yeah, there's some wackos with guns.
00:26:15Some militia group or something.
00:26:16Yeah, the old empty house on Holleran.
00:26:19Okay.
00:26:19Right.
00:26:22They said sit tight.
00:26:24Help is on the way.
00:27:45Major Lawson.
00:27:46Captain, status report.
00:27:47Boscovich is inside the house.
00:27:49He has the alpha sample with him.
00:27:51We have the area secure and surrounded by our personnel.
00:27:54We intercepted a 911 call from within the house.
00:27:57It appears to be that there are three civilians inside with Boscovich.
00:27:59How did they get past the sentries?
00:28:01That's unknown.
00:28:02One of them was wounded attempting escape.
00:28:03So much for keeping this low key.
00:28:05Orders were to prevent anyone from exiting the building at any cost, Major.
00:28:08Orders were to prevent anyone from entering the building as well.
00:28:11What about Clarkson and the beta sample?
00:28:13Intercepted attempting to flee and liquidated.
00:28:16And the sample?
00:28:17Liquidated as well.
00:28:19Incinerated.
00:28:19I thought that was contraindicated.
00:28:21They're still arguing about that, Major.
00:28:23Latest briefing has it that temperatures of 500 degrees Fahrenheit and above would effectively
00:28:27destroy the contagion.
00:28:28But they're not sure?
00:28:30They're not sure of anything, Major.
00:28:32Jeez.
00:28:33We can't release this stuff.
00:28:34We can't destroy it.
00:28:35We can't take Boscovich.
00:28:36And we can't interfere with him.
00:28:38What the hell are we supposed to do here, Diane?
00:28:40We're supposed to hang tight.
00:28:42I don't imagine you have anything to drink around here.
00:28:45Now, you know me.
00:28:50I suppose you can't tell me what the big boys upstairs have planned.
00:28:53I can tell you I don't know.
00:28:56There's talk of a secret weapon being brought into play.
00:29:04How's Leslie?
00:29:08Well, she's fine.
00:29:10I haven't seen much of her the past two months, but she's used to that by now, I suppose.
00:29:14How's Matt?
00:29:16Matt who?
00:29:22What are we going to do about those civilians, Diane?
00:29:24Keep a lid on them until we get further information.
00:29:27One's been shot.
00:29:29Not much we can do about that.
00:29:31Do we have any idea what Boscovich is doing in there?
00:29:34We're working on it.
00:29:35I have a pair of operatives infiltrating the building through a secret tunnel in the basement.
00:29:38The house is supposed to be under strict quarantine.
00:29:41We've taken every precaution.
00:29:42They have the same...
00:29:43No one goes in!
00:29:46General Ackerman's orders, Major.
00:29:51Great.
00:30:12What's that?
00:30:13Who knows?
00:30:13It's irritating.
00:30:14It'll stop soon.
00:30:15How do you know?
00:30:16Go check it out.
00:30:17Forget it.
00:30:17It's nothing.
00:30:35It's nothing.
00:30:39The beeping stopped.
00:30:40See, I told you it was nothing.
00:31:00Jesus, I wish he would shut up.
00:31:03I had a friend who worked as an intern at the psycho ward.
00:31:06He could never sleep at night because of the loonies howling.
00:31:09If there's a shut up soon, I'll give him something to howl about.
00:31:14What was that?
00:31:16He stopped screaming.
00:31:17That's what I meant.
00:31:19Something must have happened to him.
00:31:20All right.
00:31:21I'll check it out.
00:31:31No, don't touch me.
00:31:32No, come near me.
00:31:33It's too late.
00:31:35It's too late.
00:31:36There's nothing anyone can do.
00:31:38What's happened?
00:31:39I don't know.
00:31:40But it's loose.
00:31:41It mutated again.
00:31:42And it's loose.
00:31:43And there's nothing anyone can do.
00:31:44What's loose?
00:31:45What are you talking about?
00:31:46Get out.
00:31:46Maybe it's not too late for you.
00:31:48Get out.
00:31:48No, don't touch me.
00:31:49Get out.
00:31:50Get out.
00:31:52Get out.
00:31:53We heard you.
00:31:54What's going on?
00:31:55Something's happened to him.
00:31:56You should have seen it.
00:31:57His skin, it's all slimy.
00:31:59It looks like it's going to fall off the bone.
00:32:01I think maybe he wasn't as full of crap as we thought.
00:32:03Oh, God.
00:32:04Do you think that biological warfare stuff was for real?
00:32:07I don't know.
00:32:08But he kept shouting, don't touch me, don't touch me.
00:32:10And I think we'd better leave him alone.
00:32:12Wait till the authorities get here and let them handle it.
00:32:14And we need to stay as far away from him as we can.
00:32:16I don't want to wait for any authorities.
00:32:19They say we look for another way out right now.
00:32:21Well, how are you doing?
00:32:22I'm okay.
00:32:23I think the bleeding's stopped.
00:32:25Okay.
00:32:26Let's check out the rest of the house.
00:32:29Oh, God.
00:32:30Sure, you're okay.
00:32:31You're doing just fine.
00:32:33Look, you two stay here.
00:32:34I'll check out the rest of the house.
00:32:36I don't need a babysitter.
00:32:38Brooke, you go on with him.
00:32:40Are you sure you're going to be okay?
00:32:41I'll be fine.
00:32:42Go on, take off.
00:32:43I can use the peace and quiet.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:46Let's go.
00:33:05What are you looking for?
00:33:08Be a way out.
00:33:09Those students don't know about it.
00:33:10Such as.
00:33:11We'll see, won't we?
00:33:13This will come in handy.
00:33:16What for?
00:33:17Breaking down doors.
00:33:19Breaking skulls.
00:33:20What are you talking about?
00:33:22We may have to defend ourselves, Brooke.
00:33:24Against you.
00:33:25Jukes, I don't like this.
00:33:26Oh, you don't like this?
00:33:28We're in an old house with a killer virus.
00:33:31Crazy scientists surrounded by armed goons, and you don't like this?
00:33:34There's just no pleasing you, is there?
00:33:36I don't like the way you bet they're acting.
00:33:38Talking about shooting people and whacking them with hatchets?
00:33:41That's a good shot, for God's sake.
00:33:43And what's your excuse?
00:33:44A victim of circumstance.
00:33:47I remember reading that some of these old houses had secret passages, okay?
00:33:51No underground railroad and all that.
00:33:53I always wondered how they could fit an entire train underneath the house.
00:33:56It wasn't an actual railroad.
00:33:59I know that.
00:34:00It was a kid.
00:34:01Anyway, I don't think the odds are very good we're going to find anything like that around here.
00:34:06No, you're not going to be right.
00:34:09I don't believe this.
00:34:14How did you know?
00:34:15Lucky guess.
00:34:16Oh, come on.
00:34:18My mom, she was president of the historical society.
00:34:21I'm not going to get a straight answer out of you, am I?
00:34:23No, I wish I had a flashlight.
00:35:23I'm not going to get a straight answer out of you.
00:35:33Hello?
00:35:38Hello?
00:35:43Hello?
00:35:46Hello?
00:36:02You didn't have to do that.
00:36:05Go, go up.
00:36:10It's a paintball gun.
00:36:13He'll be okay.
00:36:15Look out!
00:36:21Everybody freeze!
00:36:30All right, everybody. Playtime's over.
00:36:33Where's Voskovic?
00:36:34Voskovic who?
00:36:36Don't get cute.
00:36:37Let's all keep calm. We're not your enemies.
00:36:39Tell him that.
00:36:41Voskovic's in his lab. There's something wrong with him.
00:36:43What sort of something?
00:36:45I don't know.
00:36:47Let's go. I'll take us to him.
00:36:48He didn't say please.
00:36:51Please.
00:36:53What about her? She needs help.
00:36:55There's nothing we can do. Not right now.
00:36:58No one can leave this house. I'm sorry.
00:37:00Let's go to this lab.
00:37:04This way.
00:37:19What happened in there?
00:37:21We don't know.
00:37:22He was doing some kind of experiment and when we came back we found him like that.
00:37:26Take to a chair?
00:37:27I did that. He was getting out of control.
00:37:41Voskovic?
00:37:43Professor Voskovic?
00:37:46I can get you some help.
00:37:48But you need to cooperate.
00:37:50I need some answers.
00:37:53Where is it?
00:37:55Where is the specimen?
00:37:57It's inside of me.
00:38:00Using me up.
00:38:02Raw material.
00:38:05Pretty soon I'll be gone and it'll be loose.
00:38:08And then there'll be no stopping it.
00:38:10What is it? Talk to me.
00:38:12Dr. Rayburn is here.
00:38:14Karen?
00:38:15Yes.
00:38:16You want me to bring her in?
00:38:17No.
00:38:18Don't bring her in here.
00:38:28Come on!
00:38:37Oh you crazy bitch!
00:38:42No!
00:38:43No!
00:38:44No!
00:39:10Central Control, this is Dr. Rayburn. Are you reading me?
00:39:12I'm reading you.
00:39:14Chandler's dead. Chandler and Voskovic both.
00:39:17Are you receiving video transmits?
00:39:20Affirmative.
00:39:22I think it's what's left of the two men.
00:39:26Someone get the Captain and Major Larson.
00:39:28Now!
00:39:32Captain Forrester and Major Larson.
00:39:33We're getting transmission from the house.
00:39:38Sir, it's Dr. Rayburn. She's transmitting from the house.
00:39:41Trying to find a way out of the room.
00:39:44But the door seems tight.
00:39:46I think Voskovic was prepared for something like this.
00:39:49This is Major Larson.
00:39:50Give us your best guess, Doctor.
00:39:52It looks like some kind of...
00:39:53Maybe it's a colony.
00:39:55A colony?
00:39:56I have no idea at all.
00:39:58Can you see that?
00:40:00It's looking for food.
00:40:23It's feeding on the lab animal.
00:40:25Are you sure that thing is contained?
00:40:27It seems to be.
00:40:29Maintain communication.
00:40:30Observe and keep us posted.
00:40:32Understood, Major.
00:40:33If that thing shows any sign at all of getting loose, let me know immediately.
00:40:37Yes, ma'am.
00:40:40Can we transmit this video feed to headquarters?
00:40:43Yes, sir.
00:40:44Do it.
00:40:45Tell your men anyone leaving the house is to be terminated.
00:40:51Jiggs.
00:40:53She's looking worse.
00:40:59Jesus, she's on fire.
00:41:02Did I hear him call you doctor?
00:41:04Yes.
00:41:05Can you get over here and take a look at her?
00:41:07I can.
00:41:08What do you mean you can't?
00:41:10You're a doctor.
00:41:10This woman could be dying.
00:41:12I'm sorry.
00:41:13This is more important.
00:41:14More important, my ass.
00:41:17Look, the thing's not even moving.
00:41:20I'll babysit your monster.
00:41:21I'll tell you the second it twitches.
00:41:22Just get over there.
00:41:24Go!
00:41:32How did this happen?
00:41:34She stepped outside and one of your guys shot her.
00:41:37They're not my guys.
00:41:39Does this hurt?
00:41:40A little.
00:41:42How about this?
00:41:45The wound itself isn't so bad.
00:41:47She's lost a lot of blood.
00:41:49And clearly there's infection.
00:41:50Can't you do something?
00:41:53I'm not prepared for this.
00:41:54I don't have anything to work with.
00:41:56Can't they fly something in?
00:41:58I mean, even if we can't leave, can't they send in some supplies?
00:42:04Central Control, this is Dr. Rayburn.
00:42:07Are you reading me?
00:42:08Reading you, Dr. Rayburn.
00:42:10Any change?
00:42:12The thing appears to be dormant.
00:42:18There's a chance it could atrophy without a food supply, but I can't be sure.
00:42:22Listen.
00:42:23One of the civilians was wounded, attempting to leave the area.
00:42:26She's lost a lot of blood and there's intra-abdominal infection.
00:42:29Is there any way you can get me some supplies so that I can provide treatment?
00:42:34That would be a negative, Doctor.
00:42:36There must be something that you can do.
00:42:38Can't you drop me the supplies by air?
00:42:43That would be a negative also, Doctor.
00:42:46Look, I understand the need for isolation.
00:42:50But surely there must be...
00:42:51Oh no.
00:42:56Dr. Rayburn.
00:42:57Dr. Rayburn, what's happening?
00:42:59Dr. Rayburn, can you read me?
00:43:01It's reproducing.
00:43:03Can you see what's happening?
00:43:05It reproduces by a sort of exponential fission.
00:43:08The original organism divides into countless smaller organisms, which presumably, upon maturing, will divide the same way until...
00:43:15In 18 hours, there will be over 250,000 of those things.
00:43:18That's a lot of blobs.
00:43:20In just over 48 hours, the massive organisms will cover the entire surface of the planet.
00:43:25Is that including the oceans?
00:43:27Yes, it is.
00:43:27Yeah, but that's assuming a constant food supply.
00:43:30Okay, in order to reproduce, they have to ingest.
00:43:31But we're not sure what constitutes food for them.
00:43:33Well, we know that they absorb organic material.
00:43:35Is that all they feed on?
00:43:36Remember, this is fundamentally a different life form.
00:43:38We can't assume anything.
00:43:39What if it lives on, say, nitrogen?
00:43:40You mean air?
00:43:41How is that possible?
00:43:42It doesn't share DNA with any previously known organism.
00:43:44Anything's possible.
00:43:45Gentlemen, please.
00:43:46I appreciate your input, but what we have to do now is correlate the data we have.
00:43:51Whatever that may be, transmit it back to headquarters, where they'll make a final decision in a calm and rational
00:43:57manner.
00:44:03Please! Please!
00:44:04The force is not accomplishing anything!
00:44:06I don't know what the problem is.
00:44:08We've isolated the enemy.
00:44:09Now we strike.
00:44:10It isn't as simple as that.
00:44:11We're not sure how this organism propagates.
00:44:13I hear what you've been saying.
00:44:14I'm not deaf.
00:44:15The only way to make sure that the threat is eliminated, especially in light of what we've just seen, is
00:44:19to destroy every last molecule.
00:44:21So we nuke it.
00:44:22The temperature at the center of a nuclear explosion is 10 million degrees.
00:44:26Won't be a lot of molecules left.
00:44:27Wait a minute now.
00:44:28Who's going to take the responsibility for setting off an atomic weapon on U.S. soil?
00:44:34I'll tell you who.
00:44:35The terrorists.
00:44:36That's who.
00:44:36And nobody will bat an eye.
00:44:38This is no time to lie to the American people.
00:44:40What are you saying?
00:44:41Announce that we've set off a nuclear weapon to counteract a biological weapon that got out of control?
00:44:47Announce it.
00:44:47Boy, I can tell that you have never run for re-election.
00:44:50If we don't act fast, there won't be any more elections.
00:44:53Every man, woman and child on this planet will have to kiss his, and or her, ask goodbye.
00:44:58That's a lot of hug.
00:44:58Well, maybe it is or maybe it isn't.
00:45:00The point is we don't know.
00:45:01If we make the wrong decision, in 48 hours, life on this planet is finished.
00:45:09Now, I know that sounds far-fetched.
00:45:11We're talking about one organism loose in one small house, but that's what we're up against.
00:45:15We've been dicking with this planet for decades.
00:45:18We've been careless, but we've been lucky.
00:45:20Well, maybe we've finally pushed it too far.
00:45:23By the time we're sure, it could be too late.
00:45:27I say nuke it.
00:45:28Professor Ethelred, you had an alternative proposal?
00:45:31Has anyone ever heard of the Tunguska project?
00:45:34Tunguska?
00:45:35Isn't that the place in Russia where the giant meteor hit?
00:45:37In Siberia, in 1908, an explosion of unexplained origin leveled 2,000 square kilometers of forest.
00:45:44A speculation about what caused it ranges from meteor impact to a UFO crashing to the possible collision of a
00:45:51small black hole with the Earth.
00:45:54So?
00:45:54The Tunguska project grew out of attempts to produce miniature black holes using particle accelerators to promote super high energy
00:46:00collisions between protons.
00:46:02What the hell are you talking about?
00:46:04In the process, we may have found a way to form controllable singularities of limited, but profound destructive capacity.
00:46:12Excuse me, Professor.
00:46:14But are you talking about a black hole bomb?
00:46:22Something like that.
00:46:25Is there any running water in this place?
00:46:27We could flush out the wound and keep it as clean as possible.
00:46:31I'll go look.
00:46:32And we need something to use as bandages.
00:46:35Everything in here is so filthy.
00:46:39Is this okay?
00:46:41It's not exactly sterile, but it's better than nothing.
00:47:10What the hell?
00:47:12What?
00:47:17Rayburn here. There's been a change in the situation. The organism is no longer in visual
00:47:23proximity. What? It's gone. Well, at least I can't see it any longer. Major Larson here.
00:47:30When did it disappear? Where did it go? I'm not sure, Major. What? You were supposed to
00:47:36be watching it. I'm sorry. I was occupied. Occupied? I was tending to the wounded civilians.
00:47:44That's not what you're there for. I'm sorry. Get inside the lab. Find out what
00:47:49happened. Where the thing went. Inside the lab? You heard me. You screwed up once.
00:47:55Don't screw up again. No, ma'am.
00:48:03What's she doing? Take care of that.
00:48:30Don't do that. Didn't you see the blob?
00:48:33Don't stop.
00:49:04Rayburn here.
00:49:06Reading you, Dr. Rayburn. Any change?
00:49:09There was a single unit of the organism remaining in the room.
00:49:11It escaped through a crack in the wall where I assume the rest of it went as well.
00:49:16It could be anywhere in the house now or outside for that matter.
00:49:20I know that.
00:49:22This experiment wasn't conducted under ideal conditions.
00:49:25That's going to happen to anyone here today.
00:49:34I can't do that. I can't. I'm a doctor for God's sake.
00:49:53What's happening? What were you doing in there?
00:49:56The organism, organisms, got out through a chink in the wall.
00:50:02Now basically they're running around loose. It could be any order.
00:50:06Then there's no point in keeping us quarantined anymore.
00:50:09In a manner of speaking.
00:50:11Meaning what?
00:50:15My orders are to go back for decontamination.
00:50:18After neutralizing the three of you.
00:50:28Rayburn here.
00:50:28Rayburn.
00:50:29Are you listening?
00:50:41All right.
00:50:42It's done.
00:50:43I'm on my way.
00:50:48It stinks in these things after a while.
00:50:53I'm an exobiologist for God's sake, not a hit man.
00:50:56This was a civilian project when I signed on.
00:50:59Boscovic was studying the feasibility of non-carbon based life forms,
00:51:03ammonia based microorganisms on Ganymede, that kind of thing.
00:51:08And then the military found some of his results.
00:51:11And before you know it, wham!
00:51:13I'm a bioterrorist!
00:51:16Why don't I take that?
00:51:18Before you hurt somebody.
00:51:22What the hell am I going to do?
00:51:25We can't stay here.
00:51:27Not with those things loose.
00:51:28We can get out through that tunnel.
00:51:30The other end is crawling with guards.
00:51:32We need outside help.
00:51:34Give me your phone.
00:51:35No.
00:51:36They'll intercept it like the last time.
00:51:39You mean help isn't on the way?
00:51:41Here.
00:51:43Use mine.
00:51:44It's encrypted.
00:51:46Go ahead.
00:51:47I'm one of you now.
00:51:49Sir, there's an outgoing call emanating from the house.
00:51:52Patch it through.
00:51:53Let's hear it.
00:51:55No can do, sir.
00:51:56It's some kind of encrypted frequency.
00:51:58Can't you find out where it's going to?
00:52:00I'm trying, sir.
00:52:01I told you to keep those things out of my face.
00:52:06It's for you.
00:52:10Yeah.
00:52:12Oh, I...
00:52:14What?
00:52:15You're sh**ing me.
00:52:17You gotta be sh**ing me.
00:52:19You're sh**ing me!
00:52:21Are you sh**ing me?
00:52:25Yeah, I know the place.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:28But you better not be sh**ing me.
00:52:30Who's that?
00:52:32Mind your own business.
00:52:34Now what?
00:52:35I've been thinking.
00:52:36We may be safer back in the tunnel.
00:52:38Those things can't ambush us there.
00:52:40Suits me.
00:52:41Let's just get the hell out of here.
00:52:43What are your bosses up to, anyway?
00:52:44I think people live on this place forever.
00:52:46They gotta have something planned.
00:52:47Well, they do.
00:52:48But I've no idea what it is.
00:52:50All the technicians who work here and our government liaison know about this facility.
00:52:54The technology is based on German experiments dating back to the 1920s.
00:52:59This tank contains 50,000 metric tons of low-density Kleistron plasma.
00:53:04It's necessary to maintain the stability of the magnetic envelopes that contain the singularities.
00:53:29Those glowing orbs you see in the center contain two quantum singularities of near-critical mass.
00:53:35The magnetic envelopes keep them separated.
00:53:37If they were to come into contact, their masses would combine, pushing them past the gravitational threshold, creating a vortex
00:53:43in the space timeline, which would feed on the surrounding matter, essentially reducing it to nothingness.
00:53:48A black hole?
00:53:48No, not a black hole.
00:53:55A black hole is a region of space where mass is so compressed that nothing can escape its gravitational pull.
00:54:01A black hole the size of a pea would require the mass of this entire planet.
00:54:05What we have here is an entirely different principle.
00:54:07Listen, we don't have time for a physics lecture.
00:54:09We wouldn't understand it anyway.
00:54:12Just what is it you suppose we do with this thing?
00:54:14Once removed from the safety of this tank, the magnetic envelopes would maintain stability for only a matter of hours.
00:54:20The singularities would combine and the resulting mega-singularity would feed on surrounding matter until the effects of Hawking radiation
00:54:26rendered it stable, essentially reducing it to nothing.
00:54:29And this would take how long?
00:54:31A matter of minutes.
00:54:32How many minutes?
00:54:33No less than three, but no more than 15.
00:54:37And what is the damage estimate?
00:54:39Best-case scenario, everything within a radius of 7 to 13 miles would cease to exist.
00:54:48I hate to ask this, what would the worst-case scenario be?
00:54:52It's been discussed, although I personally think the chances of this are even significant.
00:54:57But it's been suggested that the singularity would continue to grow, feeding on surrounding matter until this entire planet was
00:55:05absorbed.
00:55:07The end of the world?
00:55:08Oh, let me point it. The same sort of thing was suggested before, the first atomic bomb test at Alamogordo.
00:55:12And yet, the planet's still here.
00:55:14Oh, well.
00:55:16That's comforting.
00:55:18Can I speak to you in time?
00:55:20Excuse us.
00:55:28Look, I don't understand any of this stuff.
00:55:30Please.
00:55:30Neither do I, but I can tell you one thing for sure.
00:55:33You and I both understand it a lot better than the Commander-in-Chief ever could.
00:55:36And he's gonna base what he does on what we tell him.
00:55:39I don't know what to tell him.
00:55:40Hell, even these damn geniuses that created this stuff don't understand it.
00:55:43If we don't use the bomb, the Earth's overrun with blobs.
00:55:46Or maybe not.
00:55:47If we do use the bomb, there may be no planet left.
00:55:49Or maybe not.
00:55:50As far as I can tell, we might as well be sitting here with our thumbs up our asses doing
00:55:53nothing.
00:55:54Yeah, well, we can't advise that.
00:55:56No.
00:55:58I think there's only one thing we can do.
00:56:02Heads, we use the bomb.
00:56:04Tails, we don't.
00:56:12After grave and serious deliberation, we've come to a decision.
00:56:22You think those things can see?
00:56:24I doubt it.
00:56:26I doubt they have any sensory organs.
00:56:28The most they can probably do is detect vibrations.
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:37Heads, heads, heads, heads.
00:56:53Give me my hand.
00:57:25I'm going to go downstairs and see if there's a way through right now.
00:57:30All right.
00:57:51Let's go.
00:57:52Wait, Jake.
00:57:53Look.
00:57:53I can go through that tunnel.
00:57:55There'll be no place to run.
00:57:56What if they're already in there?
00:57:57I'm not going through there.
00:57:58They're going to get us for sure.
00:57:59We can't stay here.
00:58:00It's our only chance.
00:58:01I'm not going to go there.
00:58:02I can't.
00:58:03I can't.
00:58:04I can't.
00:58:13Faster!
00:58:15Faster!
00:58:31Faster!
00:58:32Go on.
00:58:33Run!
00:58:33I can't see!
00:58:35Just run!
00:58:43No, you've got to let us go!
00:58:48And I'll rather go back the way you came.
00:58:50You don't know what's back there, man.
00:58:52It kills your people. It'll kill us all if you don't let us out of here.
00:58:54No one leaves the house.
00:58:56For God's sake, listen to me!
00:59:03What was that?
00:59:04I think I heard something outside. Go check it out.
00:59:47What the hell is going on here?
00:59:49Our guards are under attack.
00:59:50I can see that, you idiot. Can't they defend themselves against a bunch of thugs?
00:59:53We weren't expecting anything like this.
00:59:55We've got to clear the area.
01:00:00Those people may be contaminated. We can't let them leave the area.
01:00:03We have all the roads blocked.
01:00:04They've got to be terminated.
01:00:06We don't have time to deal with them.
01:00:07We've got to get our own people out of there.
01:00:09Terminate the civilians and evacuate.
01:00:17Whoa!
01:00:34We're going to go.
01:00:41There is a strong smoke out of there.
01:00:43We're going.
01:00:47We're going.
01:00:48Oh, shit.
01:00:53We're going.
01:00:54There.
01:00:54I don't know.
01:01:31I don't know.
01:01:54It was removed from the container tank, Major.
01:01:56There's no way of knowing when it will reach critical mass.
01:01:59So what you're saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, you're saying it goes off when it
01:02:01goes off?
01:02:02Exactly, sir.
01:02:03Jesus.
01:02:04Tell those men to unload the device as quickly as possible and get the hell out of there.
01:02:07Yes, ma'am.
01:02:08What's the estimated range on the device?
01:02:10Approximately 7 to 13 miles, ma'am.
01:02:12And what's our distance from the implosion center?
01:02:14Seventeen point three miles.
01:02:16That's cutting in a little close.
01:02:30What the hell is that?
01:02:32I don't know.
01:02:32A thunderstorm?
01:02:36That's it.
01:02:37We're out of here.
01:02:40Come on, let's move.
01:02:41Take it easy.
01:02:42We're going.
01:02:42Come on.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:45Oh, Jesus.
01:02:47We've heard!
01:02:47From the front plate.
01:02:49Let's go.
01:02:49The last ship almost.
01:02:51Come on.
01:03:16Implosion reaching 1.5 miles.
01:03:222.3 miles.
01:03:242.3 miles.
01:03:265 miles.
01:03:307.2 miles.
01:03:358 miles.
01:03:3711.
01:03:4013.5 miles.
01:03:427 to 13 miles, they said.
01:03:43Approximately.
01:03:4515 miles.
01:03:4816.2 miles.
01:03:4910 miles.
01:03:5010 miles.
01:03:5210 miles.
01:03:5210 miles.
01:03:5410 miles.
01:03:5510 miles.
01:04:0010 miles.
01:04:0110 miles.
01:04:0310 miles.
01:04:0610 miles.
01:04:0610 miles.
01:04:0710 miles.
01:04:0710 miles.
01:04:0810 miles.
01:04:0910 miles.
01:04:1310 miles.
01:04:1510 miles.
01:04:1710 miles.
01:04:24Hurricane force winds were reported over the entire northeast coast.
01:04:28There is still a great deal of speculation over what has caused the cataclysm,
01:04:32which is almost certainly the worst natural disaster in the last 70 million years.
01:04:37We go now to our science correspondent, Robert Coker.
01:04:41Robert, in your best guess, what do you think has caused this unimaginable destruction?
01:04:46First of all, I'd like to put to rest any ideas that this was an atomic weapon
01:04:50or any other sort of man-made disaster.
01:04:52This was clearly some sort of an unprecedented natural phenomenon.
01:04:56There's been speculation that a small piece of antimatter entered the Earth's atmosphere,
01:05:01similar to what may have happened in the Tunguska region of Siberia nearly a century ago.
01:05:05It's also been suggested that a miniature black hole may have collided with the Earth.
01:05:10Now, excuse me, Bob, is that possible?
01:05:12It's certainly possible. For years, physicists have theorized that many black holes are frequent natural occurrence.
01:05:18Only at scales so minute, they can...
01:05:21You know, I heard that if you get caught in a black hole, it messes with your sense of time,
01:05:25so it feels like 200,000 years before you die.
01:05:31That would serve some people right, wouldn't it?
01:05:33I hope nobody got caught in that thing.
01:05:35Just look at all the people who got killed by the collateral destruction.
01:05:40What the hell is the point of any of it?
01:05:43You are asking way too sensible a question.
01:05:46It's progress.
01:05:47You know, we used to have angry gods who would send down destruction if we pissed them off.
01:05:52Now we just do it ourselves.
01:05:54Yeah. I guess there's something to be said for self-sufficiency.
01:05:59There you go.
01:06:01At least it's all over now.
01:06:02Yeah, sure it is.
01:06:08Sure it is.
01:06:41Thank you so much.
