How dull is this, Houston?

Go ahead, Houston.

The weather here isn't going to hold. We're going to have to divert you to

Edwards. We'll give you your new entry coordinates and target updates as soon

we get them worked out.

Uh -oh, that's going to break some hearts.

How so?

Nothing to do with the landing, Houston, but Fred's got two busloads of

relatives from Tulsa with hats and horns all ready to line the field at the

Cape.

That is a problem. We hate to disappoint.

This is Houston. I don't think we have time to get them shipped west.

They'll have to be satisfied with snapshots.

We may be able to set them up in the VIP lounge with the video feed.

Fred would appreciate it, Houston.

We'll secure the cargo bay and prepare for reentry.

That's right. Here, prepare for reentry.

Stand by.

Final burn for reentry in 3, 2, 1.

Roger that, Shuttle. Final burn confirmed.

Breaking orbit and into the set, Houston.

Tracking you straight down the pipe, Shuttle.

Roger, Houston. Coming in straight and true.

Shuttle, what was that flashing?

No flash registered here, Houston. Just a discharge in the wheel well.

Roger.

Negative, Houston.

Cause unknown.

Burton, this is John Ralston with the EIT.

One of our units needs access to your farm.

What's this about?

Oh, it's routine, sir. I've got it. What's the EIT?

Really, there's no reason for concern.

The whole place is clean. Wrap it up!

We're out of here!

Go!

Green each level zero.

Hey, house, clear! We're gone!

Negative, sir. If it's here, it's been absorbed.

Go! Go!

Our just tones have disappeared.

What's up?

A little mystery.

Let me guess.

Chupacabra. What?

You know, Mexican vampires?

No.

That's not one of the possibilities.

Then what are we looking for?

And who owns this farm? Where is he?

Gil Burton and his daughter.

They're missing. So that's who we're looking for?

No. The police are on it.

Then what?

I don't want to give you any parameters.

It clouds judgment.

You know, I don't want to play games. How about some lunch?

Yeah, that country western bar we passed on the way up looked interesting. How

about that? A couple of beers, a little pool.

Wait.

Four days ago, the space shuttle Discovery flew into Edwards.

As it was on its approach, some instruments picked up some dust falling

landing gear.

Dust? That's the label.

And the dust landed on this farm.

Possibly.

We know our biggest fear the first time we sent man up into space was what we

might bring back.

The Andromeda strain.

An alien virus that wipes out the world, and we can't contain it.

Now, we checked out the other areas, and the surrounding farms, and we've come

up with nothing unusual.

So, now the father and the daughter are missing, and everyone's concerned.

No.

Not everybody.

You're alone on this.

You think there's something here, but your colleagues, whoever they are, they

don't buy it.

As I stated...

The general consensus is that the area's been thoroughly searched.

You know, isn't it amazing with all the scientific brains you seem to have and

all the resources you seem to have, the only help you can muster up is us?

Will you help me?

I'll take the burn.

I'll take the house.

What is it it looks like

part of a rat

What

did that shotgun

No, there'd be burn, residual buckshot.

Looks like these exploded from the inside out, but how's that possible?

Why didn't the inspection unit discover it?

Well, it wasn't here that was recent.

I don't know of anything that can do this.

Um, we need to go get Mitch, and you need to get ready to call in your

This night will never be the same.

Don't do that, okay? Just don't do that.

We found something.

What do you got, a little Indian blood in here or something?

How long has the family lived here?

Years.

Gilberton, his eight -year -old daughter, Katie.

Mother died in childbirth.

Nitroglycerin tablets.

Maybe Gil has a heart condition, huh?

That's not exactly the type of medicine you just leave behind.

I don't see them as a type of people who just jump up and leave.

Yet they left in a hurry.

Really, Mr. Holmes?

How did we come to that brilliant deduction?

Gil Burton was sitting here in this chair.

Just poured himself a cup of coffee, lit himself a cigarette.

When something at the window catches his attention.

And how do I know that, my dear Watson?

Because the chair is turned this way.

The ashtray is here with the ashes burning in the same direction.

Now, follow me closely. There'll be a quiz later.

He hears something at the window.

Strange.

Unusual.

A farmer doesn't jump up every time he hears a cow burp.

So.

He goes to the window.

What does he see?

What does he see?

That.

What? Follow me.

What?

Over there.

Oh. Fur.

Looked like a cat.

Found this collar in those trees about a hundred yards over there.

Take a hell of an explosion to toss this collar that far.

Teague.

Have there ever been any kind of incidents like this before?

No.

Not that I know of.

But my access is limited.

Okay.

All right.

I'm going to telefax the breakdowns of these samples to a friend of mine at

UCLA. I'm going to see what he's got.

What the hell is going on?

Yeah. No, I don't know. That's why I wanted you to look at it.

Really?

Okay, yeah, I'll check it out and see what I can figure out.

Okay, bye.

Okay.

Russell says this organism infects the animal, bonds with the DNA and

reconfigures it, and then for some reason it blows up.

Now... It operates like a plant. It explodes in order to spread its spores,

that's how it moves from one host to the next.

But it's moving up the food chain from the roach to the rat to the cat.

It's following the logical progression.

Where's the dog?

Where are you going?

It's time to make a phone call.

Here, use the cell phone.

It's not secure. I need a hard line.

Gather up the equipment and be ready to go. I'll be back within a half hour.

What are you talking about? We're just getting started here. We're making

progress.

I'm finished.

Stay indoors until I get back.

Fine. Don't be nasty. We'll pick up our toys and go home.

Shh. What?

Something.

I'm sure T's people have already checked it out. Well, we didn't see it. Maybe

they didn't either.

Well, maybe we should wait.

Maybe not.

Stay here.

You know, that's what I like about you. You always

listen.

Oh, my God, it's Mr. Burton.

Colonel Thornton, we're not finding anything with these chemical tests.

You want to take a look at this?

Colonel?

Colonel,

we have a situation.

I need you to analyze the AFTP.

Also, the preparation made for an immediate evacuation.

Yes, ma 'am.

Over there.

There. Doesn't that feel better?

Try and get some of this dirt off your face.

See what a pretty little girl you are.

Yeah, that's working.

I think you're right.

I think we just found the next step up in the food chain.

Where's Teague? He should have been back by now.

Colonel Thornton, we can't find anything. Whatever it is must completely

dissipate before it touches the ground.

Colonel, I'm going back and bringing out the civilians.

No, it's best we wait.

We've got the toxic substance unit on the way.

Until they get here, no one in, no one out.

Look, they've been very emphatic about an execute disorder.

Punch it up on the monitor speaker.

Yes, ma 'am.

Don't tell them anything.

I know these people. I trust them. Look, Teague, your personal feelings are way

low on my list of priorities here.

Tell them nothing.

Mitch.

Teague, where the hell are you?

It's going to be a little while longer.

All right, listen to me.

We found the farmer and the little girl.

The farmer is dead.

The little girl needs to be looked at.

I understand.

I know you understand, but are you coming back?

It's going to be a little while. Look, buddy, we got a situation here. We're

pretty much relying on you.

I know.

I would never want to disappoint you.

You know that would never be my choice.

You know that.

No. Yeah, I know that.

Are you coming back?

Teague, are you coming back?

Teague! As soon as I'm able.

Until then, you do what you think you have to do.

What are you doing?

You just purposely compromised this entire operation.

Are you nuts?

Mine went dead.

You know the risks better than anyone.

Well, what does that mean?

That's it.

Lock him up. Yes, ma 'am. He talks to no one.

Come with us, Mr. Teague. You don't have that authority.

The hell I don't.

He's not coming back.

Colonel Farmhouse is dialing another number.

Yo. Griff.

This one is Mitch. I need a favor, pal. I need you to come pick us up right

away. We're on the Orchard Road, I -16 off -ramp.

Yeah, the names of the men I want is Gilbert.

Do me a favor, will you?

Step on it.

I'm there.

Wait, is there anything special I should bring? Anything else I can do?

Jam out telecommunications in the entire area.

Yeah, Griff... What is that?

Someone's jamming the phone lines.

I'm running a test on the sample Teague brought in.

How soon are you going to have it?

Just one final test here to see if it... Hey,

wait. He's got a problem.

Move it in.

Colonel, he's been contaminated.

His body can't support the internal pressure increase.

I want that contained now.

Open it up. All right.

Come on.

Keep hitting him with it.

Keep back on him.

Keep the examination team standing by.

Keep it here now.

Keep it coming.

Don't let him walk. Don't let him. Don't let him. Keep it strong at the bleak

perimeter.

Come in quick.

One thing. Stay away from him.

Where's the dog?

I don't see him.

Me neither.

There's no sign of him.

How could he have gone?

Jasper's probably in the barn.

He usually sleeps there.

Go ahead and check the perimeter again. All right.

Sorry.

He's here.

With an ambulance. Man never lets me down.

Okay, ready.

One, two, three.

Oh, my God, miss. The dog's going after Griff.

Yeah, run!

All right, you be sure it's clear and you run like hell, okay?

You can run fast, huh?

Mm -hmm. Good girl.

Wait, what about you?

What about me?

Okay. Now, when I say run, we run as fast as we can to the ambulance, okay?

And remember, what's your dog's name?

Jasper. Jasper, right.

If you let him get too close, sweetie, he may bite you.

He'd never do that.

No, ordinarily he wouldn't, but he's very sick right now, and we can't take

chance, okay?

Mitch, he's got to be.

Stay there sweetie.

All right, get her in there. Get her in there.

You're going to take off. Go, go.

No.

I'm in this as long as you two are.

All right, up front. You drive.

You should go up there in the front with him, too. There's still a chance you're

not infected.

What?

What?

Too late. The gestation's already started. Go on. Go on. Get in.

Come on.

emergency. What good will that do?

It's a spore, right?

It takes a certain amount of time to grow.

And then it builds up pressure as it matures, right?

Well, it gestates. No, no, no. No!

The bigger the host, which is now us, the faster it'll happen.

I don't know anything about gestating.

All I know is that when a diver goes down too deep, it comes up too fast.

We put him in a decompression chamber. We take him down to the same level the

pressure was at.

And if you equalize the pressure around it?

Nothing inside of him could explode.

You sure that's going to work?

I don't know what else to do.

Yeah, well, it isn't anybody else.

Let's do it.

Long Beach Marine emergency.

Long Beach Marine emergency.

Damn it.

It's so jammed.

They're going to make so much noise.

Let's join the party, huh?

Been wanting to do that my whole life.

Mitch! Mitch, I got a line.

This is Mitch Buchanan. I am en route with two patients for the decompression

chamber. I need everybody and every living thing cleared out of there.

Don't ask, just do it.

Okay, what's your PTA?

Five minutes.

Step on it!

Mitch, we've cleared the entire facility.

The recompression chamber is ready and waiting.

Go to level four.

If you need backup, we're standing by.

I see you two, right?

It's over here. Come on.

All right.

All right.

Hurry. Okay.

Let's go.

All right. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Easy. Easy.

All right.

All right. All right. All right.

All right. All right.

All right. All right.

Can you hear me?

All right, listen up.

I want you to breathe normally. Don't do anything unusual.

All right.

I'm going to take you down three atmospheres.

Here we go.

One.

Two.

Three.

It's not having any effect.

Seven atmospheres.

Eight atmospheres.

How much further can you take them?

Jamie, we can go down 1 ,000 feet.

It's 30 hours.

Can you understand that?

I don't have much choice, pal.

10, 11...

Get

ready!

Turn out! I want everyone checked!

They're coming. Make sure they don't.

Move it.

Move it.

21.

Move.

Mitch,

it's not cutting it.

What else can we do?

We're it, buddy.

We're all she's got. Take her down to 20.

There they are! Break it down!

Hurry it up!

Mitch, you've got to stop.

No, don't do it.

29.

30.

Whatever it is you think you're doing, Mr. Buchanan, it's over.

Back off!

What do you want?

Have you choose, Mr. Buchanan.

The choice is really yours.

Now, do I call Washington?

Do I pull the trigger?

Which do you think would be more?

Make sure it's all out.

Come on, come back to him.

Let's shut it off. Let's get him out of there.

Okay.

Hey,

it's okay.

It's really great your Aunt Clarice has come to live with you, huh?

Farm's got to be a great place to grow up.

Thank you, Mike.

Well, you know, we were a little concerned about you becoming lonely.

So we got you a little company.

Thank you so much.

I guess you know getting us involved in something like this almost got us

killed.

But it didn't.

But it almost did.

But it didn't.

Then why drag us into something as complicated as this in the first place?

Oh, of course you're right. There was no reason at all to get you involved.
