K969Base to Excursion Team 1, do you
read?

K969Base, broadcasting on all emergency
frequencies to Excursion Team 1, do you

read? They're not getting anything?

Coming up on three hours over there. How
many times did I tell them? You don't

send an Excursion Team into an
unexplored cave for a two -day radio

drop.

What the hell's wrong with these
departments?

Not them.

Administration. University's pressuring
every department they're in to keep him.

And they're thinking what? They're going
to cash in on Rupture Zone and active

false study?

Do you have any idea what it costs to
keep this place running?

I know exactly the cost.

It costs me three men stranded in a
knife cave.

Hey,

969, please.

You know how I check my blood pressure
every day? Well, I checked it this

morning, and it was a little high.

And then this afternoon, it was a little
low.

I don't know. I think I'm going to check
it again. Then I'm just going to

average them out. And you can never be
too careful, right? This damn storm's

going to clear until tomorrow.

Bobby, we're doing something.

What have you got?

I don't know.

This is K969B.

Can you repeat?

Reed, mobile one.

Copy. We just got to the cave entrance.

Confirming your initial assessment, no
sign of the excursion team.

No sign of tracks leading to the cave.

Okay, Pete, listen up.

I don't want anyone taking any risks.

You and AJ are only to go into that cave
as far as you feel it's safe to do so.

Understand? Copy that. Cover the cave.
We've got the ice.

We'll try the west ridge.

If our western left that cave, we're
going to be bringing back the body.

It's okay, Grimes. It's gonna be okay.

Where are the others? What happened to
the others?

They

found

Vulcan and Baruch in the deepest part of
the cave.

And Grimes killed them?

It looks like it.

All the way back, he kept rambling about
how his father used to beat him.

He must be in shock or something.

Grimes just died.

There is nothing wrong with your
television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We
are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the
vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to
crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our
imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all
that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and
mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

The outer limits.

Please stand by.

Physical scars are evidence of a wound
long since healed. But what about the

wounds we can't see? What is left behind
when there is trauma to the soul?

This is the illustrious recreation area,
complete with Eskimo art, outdated

magazines, and a stale popcorn smell.

And that's Pete. He's a grad student.

Hi. Hey, Pete.

Oh, you guys really know how to live.
Oh, yeah.

So have you talked to Robbie yet?

No. No, I'm looking forward to it. I
haven't seen him since we were kids.

Too bad. I was surprised to see your
name on the list of people the

was considering.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah, I'm just glad you could make it on
such short notice. It's been a rough

couple of days. You know, people are
acting like nothing happened.

It's not uncommon, especially with post
-traumatic stress.

You know, considering winter shutdown's
only two days away, I'm surprised the

university bothered to send a counselor.

No, I guess they just want to make sure
everyone's okay.

Main lab.

This is where our team spends most of
the time analyzing psychographic data,

testing core samples, and sorting
through fields.

Oh, Lou.

Sorry. Jack Burrell. This is Lou Wolski,
one of our research assistants.

Nice to meet you. Do you want this box?

No, I don't. Good.

Good, because I got all my stuff in this
box, and if you wanted it, I would have

to take everything out, and I don't want
to take everything out.

Okay, well, I don't need a box, so we're
in luck. Good, perfect.

Nice to meet you. Yeah, yeah.

It is a little weird, but you've got a
good head for numbers, so... Hi, this is

Marcy. Hi. AJ.

Hi. Well,

the station is set up with two
snowmobiles and a jet ranger. The

about 100 miles.

Her tank and the copter are about 275.
The closest town is 430.

We are all alone up here. Jack.

Robbie. I heard they were sending
someone in to stir up trouble.

Head researcher and facility manager.

A quote from no one else would take the
gig, huh?

Exactly.

Listen, I gotta go over a couple things
with Rachel. But I'll catch up with you

later, okay? Okay. Thank you for the
tour. Sure.

I still can't believe she recommended
him.

I still can't believe you have a problem
with that. You knew they were sending

someone up. Why not him? He's just going
to have to turn around and leave with

everybody else. That's right. No harm
done. You know, you haven't seen him in

years. I thought you'd be thrilled.
We're in the middle of winter shutdown.

People are going home, not coming up. In
case you haven't noticed, this isn't

the best time to schedule a reunion
between me and Jack Burrell, like there

would be. Oh, okay. Fine.

Got a game in you?

Yeah, I'm not really in the mood.

Yeah, that's cool.

This has been a rough couple of days,
huh?

Yeah.

So I was talking to some of your co
-workers, and they said that you told

university you thought the expedition
was a bad idea.

Yeah, I don't really feel like getting
into it.

Well, the investigators back in Barrow
would think an isolation stress.

Grimes was up here for almost a year.

It's unlikely that the expedition had
anything to do with this breakdown.

That's what I hear.

So how are you dealing with it? Are you
okay?

Me?

I'm fine.

Okay.

You know what I was thinking about
today?

I was thinking about that Thanksgiving
that you, uh...

We spent at our house, and a kid, Tommy,
was visiting from out of town, and he

kept asking what the dog was, and the
dog had died like two months before.

So to stop him from bugging us, you
walked him over to the oven, flipped on

light, pointed at the turkey, and said,
that's the dog.

That's right.

He'd cry every time someone said, pass
the white meat.

And that, he kept calling the drumstick
a dog leg.

I miss Matt.

I feel bad, you know.

You and I kind of drifted apart after
the accident.

Just curious how you were doing with all
that.

I'm fine, okay?

I'm fine.

Hey.

Are you still mad at me?

Yeah.

So the engagement's off?

Maybe.

You talk to Jack?

Yeah. About Matt?

No, not really.

You know, you never really told me about
that. I only get bits and pieces.

There's nothing to tell, Rach. You've
heard it.

No, I haven't.

Matt, Jack and I were...

playing hockey on the river near our
house, and someone shot the puck away

from where we were playing, so Matt and
I raced over to see who could get there

first. A second later, we fell through
the ice.

Next thing I knew, Jack was leaning in.

I grabbed onto one hand, Matt grabbed
the other.

Matt told Jack to let go of him.

So Jack let go of Matt and pulled me
out.

And Matt got sucked into the ice and
died.

Sorry.

It was a long time ago.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Sure?

Yeah.

Outer limits.

Please stand by.

Robbie, you better come quick. Lou's
acting really weird.

Lou's always acting really weird, Marcy.

Not like this.

What do you say, Lou?

Want to come out?

Remember our deal?

You promised that if no one laughed at
you, that you'd come out.

No one's laughing at you, Lou.

We're all friends here.

Everyone's always laughing at me.

Stop making fun of me. It's not funny.

I don't even know you.

Who are you?

Lou.

What's going on, Lou?

Who's laughing at you?

Everyone.

All the other kids.

They poke fun at me.

They think I don't hear them, but I do.
I want to make it stop.

I want to make it stop.

Okay.

Lou, you know, this is all about crimes
and the others.

Everybody reacts to stress differently,
you know.

We all feel a little bit scared here
right now.

I'm gonna make it stop.

Lou, look at me. Lou, look at me.

Put the flare gun down.

Listen, listen to me. You and me.

We'll go to sickbay, and now she'll give
you something to calm you down. I'll

think.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay.

You're not sick.

Okay.

The kids are laughing at me.

No. No, they're not.

Look.

I said, put the kids away.

How is he?

I had to restrain him. Mauser gave him a
sedative. What the hell were you trying

to do?

I was trying to calm him down.

Calm him down?

He opened your mouth and he put a flare
gun to his head. You're very good.

He just suffered a serious psychological
break. If I had been called in sooner,

it might not have happened. Oh, right. I
forgot. You're the one who saves

people.

I'm going to make it stop.

I'm going to miss you.

stuck up here all winter there aren't
enough supplies we'll make an airdrop if

we have to what about lou the guy's in
critical condition i'm sorry it's

university policy we can't run the risk
of transporting an unknown parasite to a

populated area we'll get this figured
out until then i would ask all of you to

assist dr mauser any way you can he's
taking the lead on this and he'll keep

informed

You sure that thing's dead?

Mm -hmm.

How's Lou doing?

Lou is not good.

How the hell did they get inside of him?

I don't know.

But Lou snapped just like Grimes did,
and it makes sense that they were inside

Grimes, too, and Grimes was in that
cave.

So you think that's how they got into
the station and brought him back with

Grimes? I don't know. It makes sense.

You know what bothers me is that Lou
didn't snap like Grimes. Grimes killed

other men and Lou wanted to kill
himself.

That's true.

And what was the whole thing about being
made fun of?

I don't think he made that up.

Lou's probably been made fun of his
whole life.

I don't know, Rach.

I'm going to go see if there are any
more of these things crawling around.

You going to get some sleep?

Yeah. In a while. I just want to finish
recording this data from Algernon. Okay.

Marcy?

You okay?

Me?

All right, I'm not going to hurt you.

What's wrong?

Marcy.

What if they're inside me?

I won't be able to stand it. What am I
going to do if they're inside me?

It's all right, Marcy. Just listen to
me.

This is your fear talking.

Don't let it get a hold of you.

You can just sit here and talk for a
little while if you want.

The Outer Limits.

Please stand by.

What's wrong?

They're inside me. I can feel them
crawling around.

I can taste them. Okay, okay, okay.
We'll get you some help. I want to get

of them.

Marcy, listen to me.

Everything's... Marcy!

I want to get rid of them.

I'm not going to let you tie me down
like you did Lou.

Marcy, put the knife down. Marcy. Marcy,
put the knife down.

Marcy! Marcy!

It looks as if these things are actually
born pregnant.

They don't appear to lay eggs, but they
do appear to give birth to fully formed

offspring. But, again, what do I know?

AJ's in sickbay.

What?

Doubled over stomach pain.

Pete doesn't look much better.

Well, I mean, we, uh... We know what
comes next.

For their own safety, it'd probably be a
good idea if we... You're straining

them, I know.

She wasn't infested.

How could she not have been infested?

There was no evidence of the white
liquid we saw with Lou, and not one

Are you sure?

She talked herself into the idea that
these things were invading her body.

It was fear talking.

She worked herself up into an
inconsolable state.

You know, I have to ask myself
something, Jack. Why is it that you're

again? What?

Seriously. If you're not trying to be my
best buddy, you're over there playing

biology specialist. Well, I currently am
trying to help Dr. Mouser get us the

hell out of here.

What did you say to Marcy, Jack?

Nothing. Well, then what didn't you say?
You're supposed to be a trained

professional, right? I mean, you're
supposed to help people. She was scared,

I was trying to help her.

Well, you didn't do a very good job,
Jack, because she died.

What good are you if you're just going
to let people die?

Robbie. Will you tell me, Rob, what good
did you do for Grimes?

Bitch. Robbie.

What?

A forensic psychologist.

He didn't come up here to counsel
anybody. He came up here to pin the

incident on me.

What?

You came all the way up here just to
stab me in the back?

You think I don't know what they're up
to?

I've worked for these clowns before.

If the university gets hit with a
lawsuit, they want to be sure that they

appropriate action to remove the person
that they intend to blame, you.

I didn't come here to hurt you. I came
here to protect you, idiot.

I don't need protecting. I don't need
saving.

You know, all this fuss about being
infested, it's really been blown way

out of proportion.

You get less and less painful with time.

Oh, God.

Oh, I know.

A bug crawling around inside you.

How awful.

It's actually quite wonderful.

My mind is completely clear.

For the first time, my legs feel
unburdened.

Where are you going?

To the source.

To the cave?

Must be teaming with them.

The absorption through the stomach is
inefficient.

I'm going to grind up the little bugger,
skim off the juice, run it directly

into my vein.

For your own good. I can't do this!

Don't you understand what kind of
discovery this is?

I've been studying.

I started a database.

My database!

I'm going to write books about me.

I will not go unnoticed anymore!

Everyone will thank me!

You should be thanking me.

I've already started with you.

Don't you feel it?

What are you talking about?

I put one in your food a while ago,
Robbie boy.

What?

I don't have any symptoms.

The outer limits.

Please stand by.

How are they doing?

I don't have any symptoms.

The guy's out of his mind.

Maybe not.

There's everything you ever wanted to
know about a polar mite and were afraid

ask. They must be vulnerable to
something.

And why are some people affected faster
than others?

Different people have different
reactions to the same drug. Probably no

different with mites.

Are you okay?

That's all I can get without throwing up
a lung.

Son of a bitch really did infest you.

But I should be teaming with them by
now.

How do you know you're not?

And these didn't just die of natural
attrition.

What if it's not that?

What if they can't live inside me?

Why would you be immune? No one else is.

I don't know.

But they didn't come out of Lou dead.

Any luck yet?

Well, they can live in ice. They can
live in stomach acid. They're

indestructible.

I mean, there's this theory you had why
they affect some people faster than they

do others.

Read it.

As the mites nest, they give off a
secretion that causes psychological

imbalance. The more anemic the host, the
more the nest will thrive, and the more

the nest thrives, the faster psychosis
develops, explaining the variance in

infestation rates.

Wait a second.

Did he say anything else about anemia?

The less the number of erythrocytes, the
more likely a nest will develop.

Erythrocytes?

Red blood cells.

What about them?

Rachel, I'm the opposite of anemic.

When I was a kid, I was diagnosed with a
disease called polycythemia. It's an

overabundance of red blood cells.

That's why they can't nest in me.

That's what killed them.

Yeah, but we don't know that for sure.

What do you call the dead bugs in the
sink?

Rachel, if we don't do something,
they're going to die.

Even if that was the answer, how do we
raise their red blood cell count?

I transfusion.

I'm type O, universal donor.

How are you feeling?

Like an idiot.

One of the snowmobiles is gone.

The tracks head off toward the cave.

The only transfusion equipment we have
is in the med kit, and he took the med

kit. And what about the supplies and
sickbay? What supplies? They were never

replenished.

We can catch up with him if we take the
chopper.

Are you coming?

Yeah, just give me a second.

Tracks go all the way to the gate.

Where'd that come from?

What's your problem?

That's my problem. Leave him to chop or
we don't need it. So the man who got

whacked on the head in the middle of the
night, what are you going to do, shoot

him? You know what, Jack? We really
don't have time for this conversation

now. You, me, and Rachel are the only
ones left standing.

I'm not taking any chances.

You know, Rabia, I was unconscious on
the floor there for a couple hours.

Last 20 minutes, my stomach's doing
backflips.

You know, you fire that thing off in
here and we're gonna be out to our necks

tonight.

Okay.

Let's go.

It's true we haven't been here before.

Feels like we're going in circles.

I don't think so.

Jack.

God, look at this.

I'll cut.

I think it's next book.

You got it?

What is that?

outer limits.

Please stand by.

Open it. Take one out.

Awesome when I tell you. What is it?

Avalanche border.

I'll plug in the hole.

Which?

We're the only ones left.

I can feel them.

Oh, my God.

And you find Mouser?

He's dead.

But we got the med kit.

I printed up the information. You'll
have to transfuse two and a half units.

You'd only have been able to save one of
us.

Not that it matters now.

Actually, it does matter.

Looks like the shoe's on the other foot,
huh?

Yeah?

Heard about fair play, huh, Jed?

You get to be the hero, just for a
change.

It's about time. Hero?

What's that supposed to mean?

You know what it means.

Chip on your shoulder, pissed at the
world because your brother died. You do

blame me, don't you?

Oh, man.

Come on.

Tell me what you think of your old
friend, Jack.

Do you want to know what I really think,
Jack?

I hate you. I've hated you since we were
kids.

Okay? Bobby, he thinks that he doesn't
mean what he's saying. No, no, no, no.

I want to hear this. I've waited a long
time to hear this.

So just go right on ahead, Robbie, and
then it's my turn.

Your turn?

Your turn? You don't get a turn.

You get to shut up and listen. You want
to know what I remember, what I had

nightmares about?

You hanging on to me and Matt. You had
both of us in your hands.

And you could have hung on.

You weren't the ones freezing to death,
but you panicked.

And you let go of Matt. I begged you not
to.

But you let him go, and he got sucked
under the ice, and he died.

Period.

Town hero.

own friggin' hero. After all, you saved
me, right? Do you remember?

Do you remember the picture in the
newspaper?

You were a goddamn celebrity.

The city council gave you an award!

I was supposed to be grateful to you. I
was supposed to be indebted to you.

Oh, God.

You were no hero, Jack.

But you want to know what's really
been...

eating away at me all these years.

I hated you because I was supposed to
love you. On the surface, I had to

that you were some fucking idol of mine.

I was expected to show my appreciation
at every turn. All I ever wanted was to

never see your face again.

God, I hated you.

But I buried it. I buried it.

And it was there to stay until you
showed up.

And I hate that I hate you.

We were best friends.

I had nightmares too, Ronnie.

I had two lives in my hands that day.

And I did not panic.

You forgot to mention to Rachel that the
current was pulling us all in.

And I had to make a decision.

About it. who lived and who died.

It's a hell of a decision for a ten
-year -old to make.

For anyone to make.

I opened my left hand and

Matt died.

And they called me a...

It's more than just Matt who lost his
life on that day. All three of us did.

We lost the life we used to have.

Did you ever?

Just once.

Can I join you?

Of course.

Look.

You know that there's only enough for
one.

And that it doesn't have to be made.

It's your blood.

You're right, Robbie.

I'm not a hero, so you admit that.

I want to live.

Whatever decision you make, I just want
you to know that I'm glad that

we got to say what we got to say.

The suffering we conceal and the sorrow
we hide may only be fully understood

by those who share a common pain.
