[Police sirens wail]

AMY: Freddy, get going. But stay in the area.

-We'll call you when we need you. -FREDDY: Yeah. You got it.

AMY: Zach, tell me we're good for battery and drive space.

Yeah, yeah, we're good. Just cleaning the coffee off the lens--

Oh, today!

Okay, yeah. Yeah, no, we're good.

AMY: Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go.

All right. Hey, what about the stuff in the van?

We can't edit without the--

We need to travel light. This is happening now.

[Siren wails]

Cops haven't even had time to set up a perimeter yet.

See what I mean?

ZACH: Yeah... Yeah, I do.

Well, maybe there's a good reason why the cops are coming down here.

Like the fact that something dangerous is going on?

You said some people died, right?

Right, which means something very cool and newsworthy is going on,

and who ever gets the exclusive on this

is going to be in the driver's seat for a network job.

ZACH: Okay, that's really cool. It's just, you know...

You're a weather girl.

Meteorologist, and Bill O'Reilly started as a weatherman.

Dan Rather was a sportscaster. All you need is one big break.

This, my friend, is mine.

ZACH: Yeah, but wasn't O'Reilly out of--

Come on!

Amy Saunders, Channel 13 Eyewitness News.

Can you tell us what happened here tonight?

We don't know anything yet.

We'll brief you guys once we know more.

Rumor is that three people are dead, and there have been sightings

of a wild animal of some kind loose in the area.

Can you tell us what happened? Is the public in danger?

Is this a zoological crisis?

Hey, look, you'll know when we know, okay? Now, back off, both of you.

This area is off-limits effective immediately.

Just keep the camera rolling. I don't want to miss anything.

ZACH: I'm getting everything. Don't worry.

How do you know there's another way into this place?

Crap.

ZACH: So... Okay. I don't know about this, Amy. This is....

Oh, sweet bike.

These warehouses are all interconnected by a rail system.

AMY: All we need to do is to get into one

before the cops cordon them all off.

Like so.

ZACH: Like so, okay.

-And hello, Pulitzer. -I don't know, Amy.

ZACH: Look, I'm just saying if there's a wild animal in here,

shouldn't we wait till we know more about the situation?

By the time the cops get their act in gear, the story will be over.

We get the jump on this, we could make the 11:00 broadcast.

ZACH: Yeah, but what if it's a hostage situation,

or, like, or something like that, or, like, a mad bomber, or something,

and, like, the cops are just using the wild animal story as a cover?

Like... Hey! Maybe dudes from Homeland Security are coming,

-because this is a terrorist op-- -Would you relax?

I've been monitoring the police band since the first 911 call.

Witnesses said some kind of lizard or something

escaped from a cargo ship and attacked some people.

So we get the exclusive footage on the recapture,

I get a promotion, you get a raise.

I don't want a raise, Amy! I want to live!

Seriously, Zach, just man up, okay? We'll be fine.

[Squelching and dripping]

ZACH: Holy... Holy crap!

-This is-- -Keep recording.

ZACH: Are you--? Yeah, I'm going to keep recording.

There's dead people. I'm going to keep recording.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! That guy's totally....

Amy, he's... Holy....

[Panting in fear]

Holy....

[Skittering]

ZACH: Oh, my God! What was that? What was that?

Amy, that was not a zoo creature, or-or.... I don't know what that was.

That was something entirely different. What was it?

I know, I know, I know, I don't know.

What the hell was that?

[Whispering]: I don't know, but it knows we're here.

["Sanctuary theme plays]

ZACH: We're going to leave now, right?

I mean, I don't need a science degree to figure out

that the thing that we saw is what killed those people.

Zach, just calm down. We don't know what we saw.

ZACH: Yes, we do. We saw three extremely dead dudes

and something that looked like a giant freaking...

I don't know what, like, an insect or something!

Look, whatever is going on here, it's bigger than we first thought.

The higher the body count, the better chance whatever we file

will get picked up nationally, so just grow a pair, will you?

ZACH: Amy!

[Screams]

Shut up! Both of you, shut up! How did you get in here?

ZACH: It was her idea.

[Stammering]: We're with Channel 13.

Please don't... Hurt me--

You're both going to die if you don't get out right now.

[Insectoid chittering overhead]

There's something in here.

ZACH: I know, I know, we saw it. What the hell is it?

I don't know, but it killed three of us before, he didn't blink.

It got three of my buddies, too, who tried to stop it.

ZACH: Okay, seriously, we are so out of here.

Zach....

I've been watching it.

It can only focus on one target at a time.

Now, the only chance you have is if I give it something

to chase instead, do you understand?

-No, we're not leaving. -Yes, yes, we are, thank you.

Shh! You see that door over there?

ZACH: Yeah.

Now, you go for it like a bat out of hell

-when I give it the distraction, okay? -ZACH: Okay.

-Wait for my mark. Ready? -Zach, no!

Okay.

[Shouting]: Hey! Go, go, go!

-Zach! -No! Amy! No!

Zach!

Hey, over here!

Zach, tell me you got that.

Amy, come on!

[Zach screams]

Get off me!

[Energy blast]

Oh, my God!

AMY: Are you okay? ZACH: Are you insane?

Clear! Henry!

I'm on it.

-Are you two all right? -ZACH: No!

I'm not sure if it was a direct hit, but it's gone for now. Ashley's....

What the hell's this? What's with the camera?

-AMY: What did you do to it? -A short-wave sonic weapon.

I haven't met a creature yet that likes getting hit with it--

-Henry.... -When it works.

Who are you two? Journalists?

-We're with Channel 13. I'm.... -Amy Saunders.

"Weekend Weather Watch with The Fabulous Amy."

I love your show. I mean, I watch it, when I can.

-You're a-a weather girl? -Meteorologist.

ZACH: Almost. You're actually short a few credits, so....

Yeah, uh, sorry. Where are we going?

Hey, still no sign of it, except for three more KIAs.

Dude, do you mind getting that camera out of my face?

ZACH: Yeah, sure, sorry.

Who the hell are these guys?

AMY: Who the hell are you guys?

I mean, I've never heard of a sonic super... whatever.

What are you, federal law enforcement?

-Military intelligence? -This is great. Magnus, they can't--

Listen, you two can't stay here. This is an extremely unstable situation.

ZACH: I told you!

AMY: Why? What's going on?

For God's sake, stop filming us!

You don't understand what's going on here--

I am a journalist, and he will stop filming when I say so, not you.

People have a right to know the truth.

Not this truth, they don't.

If you guys stick around, it'll get messy, trust me.

Look, we can't baby-sit them. It's too dangerous.

I say we tranq them, stuff them in a crate.

-Wake them when we're done. -ZACH: You know, I'm right here.

-ZACH: I can totally hear you. -HELEN: We can't do that.

We'd leave them vulnerable to the creature

if we leave them on their own.

Excuse me, men in black, you can't drug us, and you can't kick us out.

Okay, whatever you people are up to, we want in.

Why? So it can end up on the 11:00 news?

You want to catch this thing, right?

Yeah.

We just want to document it, okay?

We will give you all of the footage when this thing is over, I promise,

but don't cut us out of the plan.

[Insectoid chittering]

You film what I tell you to film, nothing more.

Fail to play by my rules, and you will be left on your own.

-Understood? -ZACH: I-I'm down with that.

-Okay. -Hold on a second, we can't just--

We don't have a choice.

Escorting them out wastes precious time,

plus I don't think they'd go quietly.

-Definitely not. -WILL: This is crazy. It's crazy.

-Henry, do we have a fix? -Yeah, hold still, everyone.

I'm scanning.

Uh, okay, I have movement.

It's moving out of range fast. Southwest corner.

You guys know what this thing is, don't you?

Just let us do our jobs, please.

ASHLEY: Henry, how long do you need to set up?

I don't know.

There's so many places in here I could set up a shock-web.

Henry... Just tell us what you need and a time frame.

Okay.

Here. Here, by this crane. Just give me two minutes to set it up,

then you send it running in here, it's game over.

Cool. Two minutes coming up.

Uh, motion sensor. Thank you.

Who are you guys?

Amy, we'll explain what we can, um.... We're a private research facility....

Whoa, what are...? What are those for?

That's super cool stuff, though. Those little, like....

Blow-uppie things or something? Cool. Is that...?

Is that what you guys do, though? You hunt things, like that thing?

Because that is some seriously hardcore equipment you guys got.

You're just mapping out where the bombs are going to go?

Could you maybe go film something else while I do this, please?

-Yeah. Yeah. -Thank you.

[Magnetic device beeps]

It's my first real mission, you see?

I've been wanting to get out in the field since I got this job,

and, truthfully, I just don't want to blow it.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean, dude. That's cool.

I'm just saying, whatever your job is....

I can't tell you that, bro. Excuse me.

ZACH: Yeah, okay. I don't even....

This is insane.

[Magnetic device beeps]

HENRY: Okay, Doc, we're ready to go. Shock-web is hot.

Let's hope this works.

I don't know how much time we have

before the police begin investigating this warehouse.

WILL: Three dead that they know of.

Once they trace the killings here, they'll cordon off the entire area,

and then bring in SWAT to secure the building.

I'd say we have 20, maybe 30 minutes, tops

before the window of opportunity closes.

-Opportunity for what? -Capturing it alive.

AMY: What?

Let's take cover.

Ready, Zach?

Ashley, we're ready. Send it our way.

Making it happen.

[Shots fired]

[Insectoid hissing]

ASHLEY: Okay, it is pissed!

Are you sure?

[Electricity crackles, insectoid shrieking]

ZACH: Holy crap!

-Zach... Zach, you good? -Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

AMY: What happened? Did you get it?

WILL: Not exactly.

HENRY: I can't believe that thing shook off 100,000 volts.

ZACH: So it didn't work. What does that mean?

It means this creature's far more powerful than we thought.

AMY: Oh, yeah? So, what's plan B?

We're working on it.

Zach, come here. Sit down.

-Can you give me my stuff? -Yeah, okay, just hold on.

-AMY: Okay. -I just gotta get this....

-Here. -Thank you.

Listen to me. We got some really cool footage, okay?

Probably enough to get us a promotion and all that,

but can we just get the hell out of here now?

Oh, Zach... Zachie, these people are far more than research scientists.

Oh, God.

-Zach.... -What?

This is another man's blood on my face.

Yeah, I know. It's disgusting. It makes me want to throw up.

Anyway... they knew this thing was in here,

-and they came prepared. -Uh, not really.

That shock thing totally blew up, and it got away.

Yeah, well, the point is they are part of the story now, too,

not just the creature.

We need to learn as much about them as we can.

Yeah, but you said you were going to give all the footage back to Dr. Magnus.

Yeah, I told her that just so she wouldn't toss us out of here.

Oh, great. So, now you're totally playing her?

Look....

We get footage of them bagging this thing,

and sell it to the highest bidder, this is Brangelina money, okay?

This is way bigger than we thought.

You've got to be kidding me.

Look, government black ops, military, private security firm,

whatever these people do for a living,

they want to keep it a secret.

Yeah? Well, maybe they're playing us, you think of that?

And they're going to kill us

after we're done recording their little nature documentary?

-You should be rolling on this. -Yeah, I know.

-Zoom in! -This is just... This is too crazy.

Well, we have plenty of firepower. We can always fall back on that.

It's definitely larger and faster than I'd anticipated.

Yeah, and more dangerous,

but I'm guessing you still want to take it alive.

It's incredibly valuable intact.

If we can do it without more collateral damage,

-I think we should try. -And if not?

People are dead. If we have to, we kill it.

Okay, good, we have a plan B. I feel better.

Okay, so how do you want to bag this thing in one piece?

I mean, I'd amp up the shock-web again, but the thing's totally fried.

And the sonic's broken. Again.

Dude, I told you it needed better shielding.

Yeah, which messes with the weight balance ratio.

-Ash, we've been over this-- -Don't move! It's right behind you!

ZACH: Where is it? Where? Tell me where?

Please don't eavesdrop like that again.

Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to.

ZACH: I hate you!

Go with tranq rounds only. Everyone's armed. You too, Will.

We hit it enough times, we should bring it down.

Failing that, the gloves come off, and we switch to live ammo.

Two teams. Ashley and Henry, take the journalist,

Will and I will take the cameraman.

-AMY: Who will keep taping. -Absolutely.

If we do have to kill it,

I want as much detailed footage of its anatomy as possible.

Thorax and mandible, preferably.

Also images of its pincers and anterior skeletal protrusions

would be very helpful.

ZACH: Yeah, yeah... What's a pincer?

Dude, got a 9000-pound camera here.

ZACH: Just... Ow.

It looks like a giant cockroach or something.

-Gorgeous, isn't it? -ZACH: Yeah.

The theoretical name is Blattella asahinai sapien,

an extremely rare species

found on islands off the coast of Japan and Korea.

Supposed to possess physiological attributes

dating back to the Paleozoic era.

ZACH: What, like dinosaurs?

HELEN: Try 150 million years earlier.

Its biological makeup could offer new insights

into our genetic building blocks.

ZACH: Yeah, but it killed, like, five people.

Well, taken from their natural surroundings,

even the most docile creatures become aggressive,

especially when they're trapped.

ZACH: Oh, battery warning light. Just give me a second, guys.

ZACH: So how did it get from some island in Japan to here?

HELEN: We don't know.

We got just word that someone was trying to smuggle

a rare abnormal into the country.

-ZACH: A what? -Creature.

By the time we got here,

it had already broken loose and attacked people.

ZACH: Who managed to capture one?

Those are totally vicious aliens, like in the movies,

which I used to think were awesome.

Not anymore, though.

It's freezing in here.

WILL: Magnus....

Careful.

It's not in there.

-Zach. -Yeah, yeah, I'm getting this.

Whoa, cool.

Looks like it made a nest in here.

A chrysalis of some kind.

Likely to keep itself safe while it traveled,

but why wait until the journey's over to break out?

WILL: Maybe whoever captured it, drugged it.

It wakes up here, gets mad and busts out

before anyone can take possession of the cargo.

But it had time to build a safe traveling environment. It's odd.

ZACH: Yeah, totally.

ZACH: It's kind of cool, though.

Looks like that stuff from Ghostbusters.

[Helicopter whirrs past]

ASHLEY: Mom?

Go, Ashley.

Henry's been monitoring police chatter.

The area's secured, and SWAT is 15 minutes away.

-Window's closing. -We gotta go.

Meet us back in engine repair.

I've something for Henry to run through the mobile lab.

Copy that.

ZACH: So, like, choppers are coming in,

and that's it, we're done, right? With the choppers coming?

-You should, like, team up with-- -Hey! Quit it with the yabbering.

ZACH: Oh, yeah, sure. Sorry. Sorry.

Hey! They have a full tactical unit inbound.

This building will be one of the first they sweep.

Once they arrive, how long before they breach our perimeter?

10 minutes, tops. We don't have time to screw around.

-HENRY: Go, Zach. -Don't plan to.

ZACH: What does that mean?

ZACH: I think the battery's loose on this...

-Zach... Come here. -What?

-ZACH: What? -What did you find out?

Um, it made a nest,

and it's supposedly older than a dinosaur or something,

and, oh, it's from Japan.

-About them. -Oh, I don't know.

They're cool, and they're smart, and the blonde one is totally hot.

Zach, you are completely useless.

Amy, I'm a camera tech, not a war correspondent, okay?

So why don't you cut me a little slack,

because I think, under the circumstances,

I'm doing a pretty good job of holding this all together--

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. You're great, okay. Just calm down.

I'm calmed down.

Look, follow me. I will show you how it is done.

ZACH: Okay, let's see. Okay.

-Hey, Harry. How's it going? -It's Henry.

Right. Um, is this really your first mission?

Because you seem awfully calm and confident,

and look at all this amazing technology you've designed...

Okay, so I know what you're doing, because you know I'm a big fanboy,

and you're trying to use your feminine wiles

to get me to tell you things that I can't tell you, but I can't tell you.

-That obvious, huh? -Just a tad.

Look, this is a big opportunity for me.

So....

[Picks up clips]

Lot of bullets.

So, uh... you're the tech support guy for the team, huh?

Pretty much.

Tied to a lab, watching everyone else get the glory.

Yeah. Look, I just want to prove that I can do this, that's all.

Henry, that's all I'm trying to do, too.

Do you honestly think I want to be "Weather Watch with Fabulous Amy"

for the rest of my life?

I want to be taken seriously as a journalist,

and that's why I took this chance.

And, you know, if all that happens to this footage

is that it ends up in a drawer somewhere in your lab, then, fine,

but at least I know that it exists,

and that I had the guts to follow my instincts, you know?

Okay, so I'm analyzing the organic compound

found in the creature's nest, see if I can find a chemical signature

so that we can trace it a little more accurately.

Cool, so, um, when you catch it....

I mean, is your facility or your headquarters far away?

I mean, are you guys local?

I really do like your show. I watch it all the time.

Do you mind?

[Zach chuckles]

That was you showing me how it was done.

ASHLEY: Mom!

He's alive, but he's not well.

ZACH: Whoa! That's the guy from before!

You know him?

AMY: Yeah, when we were first in here, he helped us.

We thought he was....

HELEN: He's lost a lot of blood. There could be spinal damage.

We can't move him until I know more.

Henry, how long until the scanner's ready?

Two minutes. Almost done calibrating.

WILL: Non-fatal wounds to the shoulder and knee.

Why would it leave him alive?

Maybe it didn't want to kill, just disable what it viewed as a threat.

Okay, let's stop playing games. Let's take this thing down.

[Gasping]

-Don't move, you're safe. -You're okay, you're okay.

-ZACH: No, he isn't. -Hey!

ZACH: Sorry, it's just, why lie to the guy?

Is it...? Is it still in here?

For now it's keeping its distance.

We think we may have frightened it into hiding.

No. No. You won't stop it. It moves too fast.

Did it attack you for any reason? Did you provoke it?

No.

Run, hide, fight, it doesn't matter, man.

It doesn't make any difference. It's not hiding from us.

No, it's... It's watching us right now.

It's learning.

[Insectoid chittering]

I don't see it!

Ashley, stay with him.

AMY: Zach, come on.

-Rolling? -Amy, I'm rolling. Don't worry.

AMY: Okay.

Chemical signatures all over the place.

The chrysalis it made is preventing a clear lock.

Plus it could have left more residue in places around here.

HELEN: Can you refine the signal?

-Not on the fly, no. -AMY: You can't find it?

I thought you guys knew what you were doing.

HELEN: We do.

It's a matter of being prepared for the unexpected.

[Screams]

HELEN: See what I mean?

HENRY: What the hell just happened?

AMY: You think the cops turned off the power?

WILL: They have no reason to.

As far as they know, this isn't a hostage crisis.

Turn on your on-board light.

[Gunshots]

Will, get them out of the way! Henry, covering fire!

Okay, come on, come on. Come on, let's go!

-ZACH: Okay, okay. -Let's go, now, come on.

ZACH: All right, all right.

[Gunshots blast]

-WILL: Are you okay? -ZACH: Did you see that thing?

-It was right on top of us! -Are you injured?

ZACH: Uh, no, I think I'm all right.

Hey. Hey, it's okay. You're okay.

[Tearfully]: It's just waiting for us!

Hey, look at me, look at me. You're okay.

It was just.... It was just waiting for us--

I know, I know. It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.

[Gunshots blasting]

Zach, did you...? Did you get any footage?

Are you kidding me?

I almost dropped a deuce on myself when the lights went off.

HENRY: That was interesting.

HELEN: Good shooting, Henry.

ZACH: What happened?

We winged it with a couple of tranqs.

Do you think it's unconscious?

To be honest, I think we just made it angrier.

WILL: Magnus!

[Electricity crackling and popping]

It definitely wasn't the cops who cut the lights.

ZACH: It's an insect. It can't know how to work an electrical panel.

Can it?

Even if they can, why kill the power?

Because it sees better in the dark. Dammit!

ZACH: Sorry.

HELEN: I've stabilized him for now, but we need to get him

back to the Sanctuary as soon as possible.

WILL: None of this is going how we planned.

ZACH: No kidding.

Dude, can you can the commentary for a while?

I'm just saying, this thing's owned our asses so far, man.

ASHLEY: Yeah, well, as much as we'd love to blow its ass

to kingdom come, it's not cooperating.

Will?

I'm just trying to find a logic pattern.

Somebody brings this thing here,

it gets free, and kills, what, six people?

And it's remarkably intelligent.

And none of the perimeter alarms have been tripped

since we set them up.

Why not escape? It's not exactly like we're holding the line.

-It's not trying to leave. -Exactly.

Which makes me wonder, why this warehouse?

Why make this its turf?

ZACH: Yeah, why not go tearing through town

on some huge killing spree or something?

There was a shipping tag

on the container it made its chrysalis in.

If we can find out who brought it here, we might be able to find out

how they captured it in the first place.

Warehouse manifest.

Should be in one of those offices on the other side of the building.

All right, you three go. Find out what you can.

I need to get this man ready for transport.

I can take him in the van.

Are you sure?

Yeah, you guys need to finish this. I've had my fun.

We got to get this dude out of here.

Thank you, Henry.

You sure you want to stay?

You need the footage...

...and a reporter never abandons her cameraman.

ZACH: We're just going to go to the control office,

or whatever, right? Not find more nests.

Yeah, that's the plan.

ZACH: Let's do it.

Be careful.

-ASHLEY: What, uh.... -Check inside there.

ZACH: Well...

So, uh, what are we looking for?

Well, we are looking for something

that might tell us how to stop that thing.

ZACH: Right, cool. Is there anything?

I don't know. You keep asking me questions.

ZACH: Sorry. Look, I know this is probably the worst timing

in the history of the world, but is there any way

that you and I could go out for something to eat, or a drink,

or, like, a matcha or something like that? Tea?

Um....

-I'm flattered.... -Zach.

Zach, right. I don't-- I don't go out on dates... much.

Yeah, I know, me neither. I'm not trying to put you on the spot.

It's just the possibility of me dying, just....

It always just brings out the desperado in me.

-Right. Raincheck? -Yeah, great. Great, so....

So... Y-You're not a vegetarian, are you?

Why, what are you...? What are you thinking?

Well, I was thinking, like....

You know, maybe like some Kobe beef or something.

-Steaks. -Yeah.

Um....

ZACH: Or....

WILL: Think I got something here.

ZACH: Oh, good. You found something.

The crate we found the chrysalis in was one of two items

registered to the Japanese vessel Miyazaki, out of Hokkaido.

The other is a container full of medical supplies.

No export company or local receiver listed.

Location?

Section 12?

ASHLEY: Huh, peachy.

ASHLEY: This way.

ZACH: Whoa, uh...

Sorry.

ZACH: Whoa....

ZACH: Scratched.

I guess we're not the only ones

who are curious about what's in here.

Wild.

You want to use your special lock-picking skills?

Stand back.

-Cover Zach. Zach, stand back. -Okay, okay, okay.

-ASHLEY: Back. -All right, all right. I'll stand back.

-Ears. -Ready?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

[Gunshot blasts]

ZACH: Whoa! That's... That is a gun.

WILL: Nicely done.

ASHLEY: What... is that?

[Rhythmic electronic pulsing]

ZACH: Maybe it's a bomb.

WILL: I don't think we can move this.

ASHLEY: Then let's open it.

I can peg that.

WILL: Round two.

-Ears. -ZACH: Okay. Sure.

[Gunshot blasts]

ZACH: Whoa!

-Take my flashlight? -Sure, yeah.

WILL: Two, three....

[Hisses open]

-What? Flashlight. -Yeah. Yeah.

Whoa.

Wow.

ZACH: That's wild.

I guess now we know why it doesn't want to escape.

-It's protecting its young. -ZACH: Yeah.

Oh, my camera's-- No, don't!

ZACH: Piece of crap! What are those things?

-Insect embryos. -ASHLEY: Size large.

No wonder it's pissed.

ZACH: So they're like tiny scary insect creatures

waiting to be born? That's just so gnarly.

ASHLEY: So someone finds the creature's eggs,

steals them, and bags the mom.

Who else would know about this? This is an extremely rare species.

-The Cabal. -ZACH: Who?

WILL: Yeah. They'd smuggle something like this

into the country for their own research.

Which would not be for the common good.

ZACH: This is just so 007.

Seriously, guys, do you have any more openings in your office,

because I am totally down with this. I'm serious.

I'm guessing that creature wasn't captured at all.

It stowed away on that ship. It followed these here out of pure...

ASHLEY: Maternal instinct, yeah.

I guess the lucky thing is it's still pretty early in the development cycle.

I doubt they're anywhere near maturity.

Unless their cycle is super fast.

ZACH: Hey, guys, I'm sure this is probably

a really cool find, or whatever,

but if that thing wants to protect its kids so bad,

shouldn't we get the hell out of here right now?

Magnus has to see this.

She'll light up like it's Christmas morning.

ZACH: Your mom's weird.

No-no, like, cool, like, "Whoa, I'm so cool," weird... Sorry.

MAGNUS: Ashley!

-What's up? -Get back here immediately.

[Insectoid shrieking]

Let's go, guys.

Stay close, stay close!

[All shouting at once]

HELEN: He's having a seizure! Henry, sedative!

WILL: Oh, come on! Come on!

Quick, quick.

ZACH: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

His vitals were stable. We were just about to move him.

He suddenly went into anaphylactic shock.

[Will punches cabinet] Oh, come on!

He was attacked by the creature.

It probably caused more than just external trauma.

-Look at the symptoms. -A neurotoxic venom.

Oh, that's great. It's not just a bug, it's a giant poisonous bug!

ZACH: That's great. That's just great.

He just... That thing could do that to all of us.

I'm sorry.

Did you think this was some kind of game?

That you could just come here

and film some wild event, and then, what,

enjoy cocktails at some award ceremony?

AMY: I've never seen anyone die before.

Well, this is what you came for.

ZACH: This is crazy.

Okay, forget about capturing it alive. How do we kill it?

Actually, capturing it alive is exactly what we're going to do.

WILL: Oh, come on.

Mom, come on, I know you want this badly, but really....

It's time to bring the hammer down, big time.

We don't have to. It wants to protect its young.

I say we let it.

-We leave the embryos exposed. -Draw mom into the kids club.

Lock the door on it. Presto, we got built-in secure transport.

Exactly.

ZACH: Yes! That is so freaking cool.

[Whispering]: Ashley.

Nothing.

AMY: You're getting this, right?

ZACH: Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I got a perfect view from here.

-AMY: Henry. -Yeah?

-I'm glad you like my show. -Yeah, it's good.

You should be proud.

So should you.

ZACH: Is this thing coming, or what?

Just give it time.

ZACH: Seriously, once I had this mouse in my apartment,

so I set a bunch of traps for it, but I never caught it,

because it was, like, this super genius mouse--

Zach, please.

Sorry, Dr. Magnus, it's just, what is this thing?

-Dude, just chill out. -Yeah, I'm sorry, dude.

I'm just a little stressed out right now.

[Helicopters whirr overhead]

[Police radios squawk]

Mom, we have a problem. Police chatter says we're out of time.

SWAT is starting their sweep right now.

HELEN: Dammit.

WILL: Go, go!

[Shouting with effort]

WILL: Get it! Get it!

ASHLEY: Push!

HENRY: Come on.

[Amy squeals]

HENRY: You wanted it alive... You got it alive!

Well done, Henry.

Yeah, not bad for your first mission, buddy!

ZACH: Way to go, team!

[Banging]

That'll be the police. Good timing, as usual.

-Them we can handle. -ZACH: You guys rock!

[Rapid shots firing, officers screaming]

WILL: What are they shooting at?

Let's go!

ZACH: Go? What do you mean, let's go? What is going on here?

What's going--? I just want to-- This is just insane.

Don't panic.

ZACH: Oh, oh, oh, oh, my God. Oh, God! Oh, God!

WILL: What the hell?

AMY: But it couldn't have done this. We just caught it.

Unless there's more than one of them.

ZACH: Guys....

Two of them. You have got to be kidding me!

[Creature snarling and hissing]

-HELEN: Henry... -I can't get a fix!

I think we just locked up its mate.

ZACH: Oh, that's not good. Oh, that's not good.

Oh, where is it? Where is it?

WILL: Oh, come on, where is it?

[Creature hisses and snarls]

[Zach screams]

Zach?

-Hey, are you okay? -Uh, I think so. I just... I don't know.

What happened?

This one's angrier than the first one.

Hey, thanks for saving my ass again.

-You're worth it. -Really?

You weren't just placating me with a raincheck?

Like, I totally thought you were back there.

No. No, no, I wasn't, really. I'm... I'm going to call you.

Really? You'd go out with me?

[Chuckles]

Wow, that's totally--

[Creature snarls, Zach screams]

[Gunshots blast]

Considering everything, it was incredibly brave of you to contact us.

I changed my mind about a dozen times

before I picked up the phone, believe me.

And we do.

Look, I know you had to confiscate the hard drive,

but technically that footage belongs to Channel 13 News,

and my bosses know that something went down in that warehouse,

and that we....

That Zach shot a lot of footage before he....

HELEN: They want to know what happened.

A lot of questions are being asked.

And I figure the best way to deflect them

is to put something together

that doesn't show anything incriminating,

that keeps you guys and that thing out of it.

That's everything on there.

I can re-edit it to look like a community square dance

if you give me enough time.

It won't go to air. I promise.

Look, I know you guys think

I am a pushy, ambitious, cold-hearted bitch,

but I came to you because....

Because Zach shouldn't have....

What you guys do...

...protecting people, learning from the creatures.

Your work, it's important.

So why not show the world and further your career in the process?

Because I thought I should do the right thing,

and help you keep your secret,

so that maybe, at some point in the future, you would help me,

and let me in on something I can take to my superiors.

If you're looking for a deal or a guarantee, you won't get it.

All we ask is that you do as your conscience dictates.

If at all possible.

WILL: We really need this to die down.

The rumor mill at the precinct is in overdrive.

-Make us look.... -Like we were never there.

And that nothing ever happened.

Thank you.

Amy.

I loved your last show. The one about gore-tex and umbrellas?

Killer stuff. Really.

Call me.

I'm just saying, chicks love dudes who go on missions.

That's awesome!

Jason? I have it.

Yeah, book me an edit suite right away,

and start laying pipe with New York.

This is... This is going to blow their minds.

Yeah, oh, yeah. They'll want it first up for tomorrow night's broadcast,

for sure.

Okay.

Nice try.

You know, the shame of it all

is that you'll make a hell of a good reporter... someday.

Have a good career.
