OH, GOD! OHH!

IN THE WINTER OF 2001,

U.S. SPECIAL FORCES LED AN INTENSE BOMBING CAMPAIGN

OF THE TORA BORA CAVE SYSTEM.

IN ITS AFTERMATH, THE MILITARY IMPLEMENTED

A SOPHISTICATED COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

TO TRACK ENEMY MOVEMENTS,

BUT SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE THE CAVES

WAS INTERFERING WITH THEIR SURVEILLANCE.

WITH HIS DISCHARGE ONLY DAYS AWAY,

MARINE SERGEANT CARLOS RAMOS WAS TEAMED

WITH CORPORALS LATRELL WADE AND DERRICK SAWYER

TO COMPLETE A VERY DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT.

THIS IS CRAP. WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, RAMOS?

NO IDEA. HEY, FOCUS. FOCUS.

AT EASE. AND GATHER AROUND.

THEIR MISSION-- TO DISCOVER AND DESTROY

WHATEVER WAS JAMMING THOSE SIGNALS.

THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

NO, GUNNY!

MOVE OUT AND DRAW FIRE.

HEY, BABE.

I SHOULD BE ON A PLANE BACK IN ABOUT THREE DAYS.

I JUST GOT TO GO AND TAKE CARE OF SOME THINGS BEFORE THAT,

BUT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE,

AND I SHOULD BE BACK HOME WITH YOU GUYS SOON.

ANYWAY, I DO LOVE YOU, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

MWAH!Sawyer: I LOVE YOU!

HEY, HON, LOOK WHO I BROUGHT TO SHOW YOU.

HE'S GETTING HUGE, ISN'T HE? HE'S ENORMOUS.

HE MISSES YOU A LOT, AND SO DO I, OKAY?

SO CAN YOU HURRY UP AND COME HOME FOR US, HUH?

SAY HI. SAY HI TO A.J. SAY, "HI, DADDY. HI, DADDY."

Let's do a quick head check for video. Over.

Ramos.

Wade.

Sawyer.

Okay, all systems go. I've got you all on the monitor.

I DON'T KNOW HOW DEEP THESE CAVES ARE,

BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW, COULD BE HIDING IN THERE.

AND YOUR FEET-- NEVER STOP LOOKING AT THE GROUND.

THERE'S LAND MINES EVERYWHERE.

COALITION FORCES ARE ACTIVELY PURSUING TALIBAN TROOPS

BELIEVED TO BE RETREATING INTO THE CAVES AT TORA BORA.

SO, LET'S TAKE THIS SERIOUS. LET'S DO THIS.

THIS IS OUR LAST MISSION TOGETHER, ALL RIGHT?

Unit 1, you're good to go.

Go ahead and enter the cave and proceed as ordered.

THAT'S A NASTY SMELL, MAN.

ABSOLUTELY REEKS DOWN HERE.

AW, MAN, WHAT IS THAT?!

WHAT HAPPENED?

THAT'S GUANO, MAN.

WHAT IS THAT? BAT

I GOT A SIGNAL. THIS WAY.

THE ECHOLOCATION ABILITY OF BATS

EVOLVED WITH THE NEED TO HUNT IN TOTAL DARKNESS.

I CAN'T EVEN SEE.

SHH! QUIET, QUIET, QUIET.

QUIET. SHH!

STAY STILL. WHAT WAS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. BATS.

LET'S FORGET ABOUT THE DAMN BATS.

I DON'T LIKE BATS, MAN.

ARE YOU SCARED OF BATS?

YEAH, I'M SCARED OF BATS. THOSE ARE BATS.

RAH! DON'T MESS WITH ME LIKE THAT.

OH, SAWYER, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF, THEN?

OH, COME ON, MAN. I JOINED THE MARINES TO KILL TERRORISTS.

NOT LITTLE BATS. I'M AFRAID OF BATS.

IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF BATS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL--

WHOA!

AAH!

Whoa! Hey, what's going on?

Did you guys hit a trip wire?

I'm showing Wade's coordinates

THE CHILLING DETAILS, NEXT.

WHILE ON EXPEDITION IN THE RAINFORESTS OF CAMEROON,

NATURALIST IVAN T. SANDERSON

REPORTED THAT HE AND HIS HUNTING PARTY

WERE STRAFED DOWN UPON BY GIGANTIC BAT-LIKE CREATURES.

SANDERSON NOTED THAT THE CREATURES WERE...

THE CREATURES WERE KNOWN BY NATIVE LORE AS THE OLITIAU.

SANDERSON HIMSELF DEEMED THEM "THE GRANDDADDY OF ALL BATS."

I'M AFRAID OF BATS.

IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF BATS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL--

WHOA!

AAH!

IN THE MIDST OF THEIR MISSION,

CORPORAL WADE HAD FALLEN PREY TO AN EXPLOSIVE BOOBY TRAP.

THE GROUND BENEATH HIM GAVE WAY,

AND HE PLUNGED MORE THAN A DOZEN FEET

DOWN TO A LOWER CHAMBER.

NOW CUT OFF FROM RADIO COMMUNICATIONS,

RAMOS AND SAWYER BEGAN THEIR DESCENT

TO ASSIST THEIR FELLOW SOLDIER.

WADE?!

WADE? WE'RE COMING DOWN, WADE!

DO YOU SEE HIM?

ANYTHING DOWN HERE. HANG IN THERE, BUDDY!

GOD. AAH!

YEAH, I'M OKAY. I'M OKAY.

OKAY, WADE, LISTEN TO ME. WHAT'S DOWN HERE?

SOMETHING IS DOWN HERE. WHAT'D YOU SEE, WADE?

HEY, HOLD ON, MAN!

LISTEN TO ME. EVERYTHING'S OKAY. YOU'RE SEEING THINGS.

IT LOOKED LIKE A LADY. LOOKED LIKE A WOMAN.

YOU SAW A WOMAN? SAWYER!

HE SAID HE SAW A WOMAN! SHUT UP!

IF THERE'S A WOMAN DOWN HERE, THERE'S AROUND!

LISTEN TO ME! LISTEN TO ME! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

HE'S HALLUCINATING, MAN! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!

DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE YOUR FRIEND HERE? DO YOU?

WELL, NEITHER DO I. LISTEN TO ME.

WE ARE GONNA GET HIM OUT OF HERE, OKAY?

BUT WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW. CAN I COUNT ON YOU ON THAT?

YES, SIR. OKAY, GOOD.

LISTEN TO ME. DON'T MOVE.

YOUR BACK MIGHT BE BROKEN.

OH, WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

I'M GETTING A SIGNAL.

FORGET ABOUT THE SIGNAL. HOLD ON. HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

SARGE, COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU--

DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK DOWN HERE?

IT'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER. LET'S GO HANDLE THIS.

WE'LL LEAVE WADE HERE, WE'LL COME BACK,

AND WE'LL GET OUT OF HERE.

WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO COME BACK AGAIN.

WADE, I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU JUST FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, MAN.

WE'VE GOT TO COMPLETE THIS MISSION, OKAY?

WE'RE GONNA FINISH THIS AND GO HOME ALIVE, ALL RIGHT?

HOLD ON. OKAY? IT'LL BE TWO MINUTES.

IT'S JUST AROUND THIS CORNER. WE'LL HANDLE IT, COME BACK,

AND WE'RE GONNA DRAG YOU OUT OF HERE, ALL RIGHT?

HERE'S YOUR WEAPON.

YOU SEE ANYTHING, YOU SHOOT, OKAY?

I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT, SARGE.

WE'RE COMING BACK FOR YOU.

DON'T LEAVE ME DOWN HERE, SIR. DON'T LEAVE ME DOWN HERE.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY, MAN.

RABIES IS A COMMON DISEASE

THAT YOU FIND IN WILD CARNIVORES.

COME ON.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY NOW.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE. THE SIGNAL'S GETTING STRONGER.

JUST FOLLOW ME. JUST FOLLOW ME, MAN.

ARE WE CLOSE?

SOMETHING'S DOWN HERE WITH ME.

WHAT'S IN THERE? IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE?

NO, THERE'S NOTHING.

WHAT ABOUT BEHIND YOU? ANYTHING IN THERE?

AAH!

WHAT WAS THAT?

WADE? WADE?!

WADE! HURRY UP, MAN!

WHAT WAS THAT? WADE? WADE?!

WADE! HURRY UP, MAN!

WADE, ARE YOU OKAY, MAN?! WADE, WAKE UP, MAN!

HEY! HEY! HEY!

OH, MY-- SAWYER, HE'S GONE.

WHAT DID THIS, MAN?! WHAT DID THIS?!

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT HIM, MAN.

GOD. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT HIM LIKE THAT.

SAWYER...

THEY'RE TRYING TO FREAK US OUT.

THEY'VE DONE THEIR JOB.

BUT WE GOT TO KEEP GOING.

LET'S FOLLOW THE SIGNAL.

WE GOT TO DO THIS, SOY.

SORRY, WADE.

COME ON. FOLLOW ME.

I'M SO SORRY, WADE.

STAY FROSTY! COME ON.

THAT'S THE SAME NOISE AS BEFORE.

THE SIGNAL'S GETTING STRONGER.

WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO US.

COVER ME. COVER ME. COVER ME.

THOSE THINGS ARE GOING CRAZY.

OHH--

THERE'S A WHOLE NEST OF THEM!

HI.

I'M WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU.

ARE YOU-- I HOPE YOU'RE OKAY.

I'M SURE YOU'RE OKAY. I JUST-- I GET WORRIED.

YOU HAVEN'T CALLED. YOU HAVEN'T SENT A MESSAGE BACK.

PLEASE JUST-- SOMETHING. I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY.

30 SECONDS, OKAY?

I'VE BEEN GOING OVER IN MY HEAD

SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU, AND I--

PLEASE, WILL YOU JUST LEAVE ME A MESSAGE, OKAY?

I JUST NEED TO KNOW YOU'RE OKAY.

I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU, OKAY?

I LOVE YOU.

NINE HOURS AFTER THE ENCOUNTER,

A RESCUE TEAM LOCATED SERGEANT RAMOS

NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE CAVE.

HE SUFFERED EXTENSIVE BLOOD LOSS

BUT SURVIVED THE ATTACK

AND WAS TAKEN TO A MILITARY HOSPITAL

FOR TREATMENT OF A RARE FORM OF RABIES.

AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF QUARANTINE,

HE WAS REUNITED WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILD.

THE BODIES OF CORPORALS WADE AND SAWYER

WERE NEVER RECOVERED.

THE INJURIES SUSTAINED BY SERGEANT RAMOS

INDICATE THAT WHATEVER ATTACKED THE THREE SOLDIERS THAT NIGHT

WAS MUCH LARGER THAN ANY BAT SPECIES KNOWN TO HUMANKIND.

THE EVIDENCE PROMPTS US TO SPECULATE--

DO THEY LIVE AMONG US?
