Oh, this is way too
much country for me.

Come on, city boy, a little
fresh air never hurt anybody.

It's not the air
that's bothering me.

Shal, Brennan,
you in position yet?

Oh, it's hard to say.

We're in the middle
of a corn field.

Well, check your coordinates.

Yeah, don't worry, Lex.
We're in the right spot.

You know, it's been over an
hour, and there's still no sign
of your whistle-blower.

I'm beginning to
think he bailed.

Let's give him ten more.

This better be some whistle.

Well, according to the Dominion,
he's got proof of an upcoming
genetic disaster.

Are you sure you don't
see anything at all?

Yeah, well, a whole lot of corn.

And bugs.

Damn, that's
a big grasshopper.

It's a locust.

Yeah, well, whatever it is
just... keep it away from me.

Do you hear that?

Guys, talk to me.
What's going on?

Ah, it's nothing.

It's just the wind.

That's not the wind.

Let's move!

What the hell's that?

Locusts!
Thousands of them!

They're all over us!

Guys, what's happening?

They're dead.

Every single
one of them.

That can't be good.

Gets worse.

I think we've found
our informant.

Scientist Adam Kane was a
pioneer of genetic research,

manipulating DNA to
save human lives.

But in many, their genes
unexpectedly mutated

and they developed
superhuman abilities.

Together, four of the most
powerful fight to protect

a world that doesn't
even know they exist.

They are... Mutant X.

The smoke of
a giant furnace.

From that smoke locusts
came down upon the earth,

and they were given powers
like that of scorpions."

Wow. Sounds like somebody did
some hard time in Sunday school.

It's good
for the soul.

So, you think those locusts are
the disaster your informant was
trying to tell us about?

It's kind of hard to say
since he's not talking.

Hmm.

We'll just have to wait until
we hear from Dr. Bellows,

Dominion's entomologist.

You think he's
worth his salt?

Well, from what I hear, if it
flies, crawls or squirms,

she's the one who can tell us
what we're dealing with.

She?

Hm.

Hm.

I suspect it's a genetically
modified version of
Schistocerca Gregaria

The desert locust.

The most aggressive and
voracious of the locust family.

They're eating machines.

How do you know it's been
genetically modified?

Oh, honey,

because there is simply
nothing this destructive
found in nature.

How much do you weigh?

Buck ninety?

Two hundred?

Never mind.

The point is, this is not your
garden variety locust, okay?

These are bred to resist
any kind of pesticides.

And from what we saw, pretty
healthy appetites, too.

Oh, yeah.

They feed on all kinds of crop
vegetation,

corn, grain, wheat,
until there's nothing left.

And you know what?

By the looks of it, if their
reproductive system is
advanced as I think it is,

these bugs have the potential
to create a national famine
like nothing you've ever seen.

Why would someone even create
something like that?

Oh, who knows?

An agro-terrorist or
random whack-job.

But it doesn't
make sense.

I mean, one minute they're
on a feeding frenzy,

and the next they're
dropping from the sky.

I suspect you've stepped into
a very controlled experiment.

So what you're saying is
the best is yet to come?

I pray you find out before we
have a disaster on our hands.

I got the autopsy results
on our dead informant.

Let me guess:
death by locusts.

Try bullets - two of them.

Hm.

Whoever's breeding these
things is willing to kill
to protect them.

The company he
worked for is ZDT.

It's a huge agro conglomerate
run by the Keary family.

I understand you're
familiar with them.

Yeah.

We're old family friends.

We used to summer together.

What? In between terms
at boarding school?

You know... only rich
people "summer".

Yeah... You were making a point.

I think you were trying to
suggest that the Kearys
were involved.

ZDT owns the fields
destroyed by the bugs.

Which makes them either
a target - or the source.

Now we don't have
time to waste here.

Jess, you're our in.

What? Expect me just
to waltz in there

and ask if somebody's invented
any new agro-plagues lately?

Actually, I was hoping for
a more subtle approach.

Here.

Dominion has set you up
with a rather generous
financial portfolio.

Don't get too excited
- it's just play money.

Ahh. Just enough play money to
set up a meet and greet with ZDT

as a venture capitalist
ready to play ball.

Yeah.

Anyway, the place is
run by uh...

Alisha Keary?

Oh...

You two close?

Is this going to be
a problem for you?

No.

Not at all.

Why is it that Armani looks
a little too good on you?

It's actually a Boss.

You know at one point, this
was going to be my life?

Ivy League school, corporate
job, the whole nine yards.

And you gave all that up for...
Mutant X?

No.

I gave it up for me.

Mr. Kilmartin?

Nate Gilmore.

Good to meet you.

Yeah.

This Lexa Pierce, my
in-house counsel.

How do you do?

So, Alisha tells me you're
looking to invest in
agro-technologies?

Considering it.

I think you'll be
very impressed.

This way.

Tight security.

We set the benchmark in
cutting edge agro-science.

GMOs, RMFs.

Can't afford any
snooping competitors.

You'll have to excuse Nate.

His enthusiasm is
only second to my own.

Jess.

Alisha.

It's good to see you again.

Oh, um...

Lexa Pierce.

Hi.

Hi.

My twelve thirty just cancelled.

So, if you would like, I could
go over the company's expected
earnings with you.

Over lunch.

Great.

Great.

Nate, could you please show Miss
Pierce the necessary documents?

Of course.

Thank you.

Given the area
of crop devastation,

we should be able to pinpoint
where the locusts were released.

How? It's like trying to find
a needle in a haystack.

Well, not necessarily.

This is the field where
we found the dead locusts.

And we can use satellite imaging
to track their point of origin.

Okay.

This is 10:15, about the
time the locusts died.

We reverse the timeline...

Hm.

There's our haystack.

Whaddya say we go
find that needle?

So when did you decide to
return to the family business?

I guess that's hard to say.

I suppose some things are
just in the blood, huh?

Well, if you're really
serious about ZDT,

we're involved in some really
breakthrough technology.

Hm.

Is that why some of your
fields were recently
attacked by infestation?

Uh... well,
that's news to me.

I'm sure if that was
a problem I'd know about it,
don't you think?

Well, my people tell me
some of your crops were
very seriously damaged.

Your people?

So you been doing
your research?

Yeah, well, whatever that was,

I'm sure it's nothing to be
concerned about.

ZDT is a high-profile
corporation.

I'm sure you have your
share of corporate enemies.

Yeah, well, it comes with the
territory, doesn't it, Jess?

You know, there's always
someone out there ready

to cut your throat before you
have a chance to cut theirs.

Yeah.

How long do we
have to do this?

What?

Pretend that this isn't
incredibly awkward

- seeing each other again?

You don't know how many
times I wanted to call you.

So why didn't you?

I just didn't
know what to say.

Well, to be perfectly frank,
until now Alisha's been wary of
outside investors.

Ah, so you're doing just
fine on your own, is that it?

You know, I would love
to get a look at a report

on some of the farming
technologies you have
in development.

Well, I'm afraid
that's not possible.

All R&D is confidential.

Nate, we both know how much
Mr. Kilmartin is prepared
to invest here.

Throw me a bone.

I'm sorry.

Alisha wouldn't have
it any other way.

She seems surprisingly young
to be the head of the company.

She's a classic
Type A personality.

Just don't get in her way.

Ooh, sounds like a
loaded statement.

Well, just say she
knows what she wants,

and she knows how to get it.

At all costs?

We're in a competitive
field, Miss Pierce.

Alisha knows how to
maintain the edge.

Well, then, whenever you're
finished here, my secretary
will see you out.

Great.

Guys, any luck on your end?

Alright, we think we found
where the bugs were released.

It's a barn on a parcel of
land

owned by a company called
Pacific Bionetics.

Maybe ZDT's been the
target all along.

It's too soon to tell.

Anyways, Jessie's feeling things
out with Alisha Keary right now.

Alisha?

There's a name I haven't
heard in a long time.

What do you mean?

She was a part of his old life.

His first real love.

Oh. How real?

High school sweethearts.

I think at one point
they were even engaged.

Really?

Well, it's nice of
him to have told me.

I guess it just
slipped his mind.

Aw, relax, Lex.

It was ten years ago.

I'm sure she's ancient history.

Well, you know what? I hope so.

So how involved are you in
the day-to-day operations?

I'm a control freak
- you know that.

Like to micromanage everything.

Used to bug you, didn't it?

Nah, not... maybe just...
a little, yeah.

Hello?

No. You know what?
If you're not going to handle
that, then I will.

Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks.

Sorry about that.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

It will be.

All right, what's wrong
with this picture?

If this is where the swarm
started, then why didn't
they eat this corn?

Maybe they read the signs.

I mean, what is this corn
made out of anyway? Gold?

I don't know.

I guess I should grab a sample
for Dr. Bellows

We got company.

Oh...!

Come on, let's
get out of here.

I thought you'd never ask.

Look, Leesh...

I know you're really swamped
right now, but I'd really like
to see you again.

Tell me you're not going to
try to stir things up, right?

I'm not...

here to stir things up.

Can we meet for drinks later?

Sorry.

Yeah...

I don't know. Um...

I have to work late.

Hello?

Ohh.

There is nothing that
touches me more...

than the look of two corporate
executives in love.

Has anybody ever told you it is
really not polite to eavesdrop?

All the time.

Hm...

So tell me: when were you
planning on telling me you
two used to be engaged?

It's not an issue.

I grilled her at lunch.

She's not involved.

Well, then, let's just hope
you're better at picking out
liars than she is.

Hey.
Hi.
Okay...

I've just figured out what
kills these insects, all right?

They were designed with a
self-destruct mechanism.

They rupture from the inside?

It's ingenious, really.

And when I determine what
the trigger is

we'll be able
to destroy these things.

So what about the corn?
Why didn't they touch it?

Ah, ha ha ha!

Because these have been
genetically modified

to be the one crop that is
resistant to these insects.

So we're not dealing
with an agro-terrorist,

this is just a simple
case of supply and demand.

Wake up, people.

Welcome to the world
of Franken-foods.

You know, there's no
telling what repercussions

these hybrid crops could
have on the environment.

Well, someone's planning
on profiting from this.

Looks like that corn is
made of gold after all.

Hate to break it to you, Jess.

But your ex-fiancee's involved.

Pacific Bionetics
is owned by ZDT.

What?

I had to trace through
dummy corporations

and overseas trust funds
to find the link to Alisha.

That can't be.

I don't know, Jess.

You got to admit, it does
look kind of suspicious.

Look, I have known this
woman for half my life.

Trust me.

She's not a part of this.

Are you sure that's
not your heart talking?

Or...
some other part?

It's not like that.

Well, we're going to have to go
back to ZDT to find the answers
in the back of the book.

How?

Well...

I'm sure Alisha's
still working.

That means all you gotta do
is go over there and...

keep her company
while Lexa looks around.

And how exactly am I
supposed to do that?

Oh.

I'm sure you'll
figure something out.

Jess, I just want you to know,
this isn't anything personal.

Doesn't matter.

The only reason I am doing this

is to prove that you are wrong.

Look, I know you can't see it,

but I can tell this Alisha she
eats guys like you for lunch.

Really?

The problem is you're
too trusting, Jess.

I've trusted you
since the day we met.

That isn't exactly
helping your argument.

Jess, what are
you doing here?

Ha...

Well, thanks for meeting me.

It's a little late, don't you
think, for a business meeting?

You know that's
not why I'm here.

My office.

Do you still like,
uh, gin and tonic?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Can't remember the
last time I had one.

Yeah?

I can.

Uh, it was at Spadini's.

We were talking
about wedding plans.

Remember?

Yeah.

Well, your mind
wasn't really there.

Well, I figured you just
had a case of cold feet.

But I guess I had no idea how
cold your feet were, did I?

You know,

I made a promise to myself
that the next time I saw you

I would tell you exactly
what I thought about you.

Probably the least I deserve.

Yeah.

Funny thing is, though, I'm...

I'm looking at you right now,
and I don't know -

I don't feel like
saying it any more.

Are you in yet?

Yeah, but unfortunately,
I haven't found very much.

I'm trying to see what
I can dig up in their
interoffice VOIP system.

VOIP?

Yeah, it's a computerized log
of all in- and out-going
telecommunications.

These guys are anal about
corporate espionage leaks.

See, all calls are recorded
- especially R&D guys.

So...

What was it? Did I...

did I do something? Or...

Alisha, I was messed up.

I had things going on that...

that you couldn't understand.

So you felt like you
couldn't turn to me, then?

No. It wasn't that simple.

I didn't feel
that it was fair...

Hm.

...for me to start a
life with you...

...where I didn't fit.

Shouldn't I have been
able to choose that?

I'm into operation level.

Searching through
Michael Porter's account.

Who is that?

The informant found
dead in the cornfield.

Okay. Punching into his
final call in his log.

Alisha.

Shh...

I don't want to hurt you again.

Shhh...

No, I'm not going to let you.

INFORMANT'S VOICE
"Look, I am tired of getting
jerked around here.

I know all about
Project Redstock.

And if you don't come
through by 8 P.M. tonight
I am taking this wide."

Well, that sounds
like a threat.

And a motive.

Who was he calling?

Alisha Keary.

Looks like she was willing to
kill for the bottom line.

I'll say this for Jess, he
sure knows how to pick 'em.

Phew!

Hi.

Hi.

Reminds me of the time
that my father caught us.

You remember that?

We were in the pool cabana

and there was that
fireworks display.

Yeah.

He never seemed to look
at me the same way after that.

Neither did I.

Really?

Yeah.

You know
I've changed,
Alisha.

Everybody changes.

That's okay.

Look, relax, Jess.
You know, it's...

I have zero
expectations here - really.

You know, whatever
that was, it's just...

it's just what it was,
you know?

That's not what I mean.

What do you mean, then?

I just...

I keep running a
series of "what ifs".

I mean...

I mean, what if I
hadn't run away?

What if...
what if...

What if I'd been straight up
with you from the beginning?

What if we can just start again?
How about that?

What if we can just
start again, huh?

What do you think of that?

Hey, I cross-referenced
Project Redstock,
but I'm coming up empty.

ZDT's planning a
worldwide devastation.

I can't imagine those bugs
were that easy to hide.

Alisha's not stupid, Shal.

I'm sure she figured out
a way to cover her tracks.

All right, Doc.

Uh huh?

Look, I could really
use your help.

Can you pull a rabbit out
of your hat right about now?

Okay.
How about this?

I found residue of nitrogen-rich
protein in the system of the
specimen you brought.

Okay, okay.

It's like this.

Locusts begin as eggs,

which eventually hatch,
and become wingless nymphs.

A nitrogen-rich diet
speeds along their growth.

Okay.

I'm losing you.

All right.
Okay.

Right now, they're
feeding on a...

a dry spore mix which is
commonly sold as Fer-lomant.

And by the projected size of the
swarm they're going to need a
lot of it.

Did you get that, Lex?

Fer-lomant, I'm on it.

Okay.

I'm looking at purchase orders
for almost a ton of this stuff.

Delivered to a farm outside
the town of Decatur.

Gotta be our source.

You never did tell me where
you've been for all these years.

Hey, lover-boy.

Hello?
Is this thing on?

Cat got your tongue?

Are you okay?

I hope that's all she's got.

Yeah, I just gotta...
get another drink.

Okay.

Jess,

Alisha's been behind this
from the very start.

She's the one who ordered
the killing on the informant.

It's time to smarten up.

It's called Project Redstock.

And hopefully it's not too
late to shut them down,

but you need to get out of
there now, you understand?

Okay.

Listen, I... I...
uh, I gotta go. Excuse me.

Gotta go?

Why do you have to go?

Why do you have to go?
Wait-wait-wait-wait.

Wait.

I don't want any
secrets here, okay?

So just talk to me.

I know about Project Redstock.

Is this, like, a joke?
Because I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You gotta be straight with me.

Okay?

You are way over your head.

And the only way I can help you
is if you tell me the truth.

The truth?

Okay, who's the liar here?

What did you come back for?

I had to investigate.

You had to investigate?
Oh, I see.

So, you really didn't come
back here to invest in...
in ZDT, right?

And you obviously didn't
come back here to get me.

I had no idea
I'd feel this way.

Get out.

Alisha, please...

I said get out.

I never want to see
you again. Get out.

Nate, yeah. I need
to see you in here.

Yeah, 'cause we have a problem.

Now if these bugs are here, how
are we supposed to destroy them?

Well, Dr. Bellows is going to
contact us when she figures out

how to activate
the self-destruct system.

Hopefully they're still
contained in the barn.

Worst comes to worst, we
can always burn it down.

Huh, nice.

Just turn them grasshoppers
into fireflies.

Where have you been?

You took your sweet time.

I'm sorry.

I just had to clear
my head a little.

Any word from Shalimar
and Brennan?

Not yet.

I'm sorry, Jess.

If it means anything, I was
hoping I was wrong about her.

Whatcha gonna do?

Okay, guys, we're here.

You see anything?

Looks like someone took off
from here in a hurry.

Let's take a look inside.

The place is cleared.

Too late. Damn.

Well, they're grown.

Looks like they were in the
process of releasing them.

Brennan, it's a bomb!

This was no coincidence.

We were set up.

Somebody must have
tipped them off.

You told her, didn't you?

I had to level with her, Lexa.
There was too much at stake.

Yeah, that's exactly why you
should've kept your mouth shut.

What did you think?
Her love for you would suddenly
spur a burst of honesty?

Well, I gave it a shot.

Well, you were wrong.

Yeah, I got that.

Well, that's great.

Now thanks to you we have

no idea where those bugs
are going to be released.

Good.

Now it's anybody's game.

No telling how many
truckloads of those bugs
might've made it out.

Yeah, or where they're headed.

Well, maybe your little
friend can tell us.

Yeah.

I think I'll name him Chester.

Stay.

Alisha.

Listen, don't hang up, okay?

Everything that
you said was right.

Look, I've been poring
over these R&D files and...

I can't believe it.

You can't believe what?

Everything that
you said was true.

Pacific Bionetics,
the crop research.

Someone's been funnelling money
from ZDT to fund all this.

Why are you telling me this?

Because my name is
all over everything.

There's money trails, there's...
there's requisition forms.

Listen, I... I need you.

I need you to come here,
and I need you to help me.

Alisha, the last time
I trusted you,

two of my friends
almost got killed.

Jess, I had no idea.

Okay? You just have
to believe me.

Okay, look, stay in your
office. I'll be right there.

Okay.

Nate, why didn't you tell me
about Project Redstock?

Because I was trying
to protect you.

It's why I've been covering
your back from the start,

destroying memos,
deleting voice mails.

Do you have any idea the size
of the players involved here?

The amount of money
we stand to make?

Billions.

By creating a plague?

No, it would never
get to that level.

Look, a few farms
will be destroyed.

The press would
have a field day,

then ZDT come out as heroes

when we release the first
insect-resistant corn.

Nobody gets hurt here, Alisha.

It's a win-win all around.

Look, we can't give up now.

Where you going?

Alisha called.
She needs my help.

Of course she does.

Look...

I'm not going to say
that I believe her.

But if she is
telling the truth,

then she is our only lead

as to where these locusts
are going to be released.

And if she isn't,

you're just giving her another
chance to play you again.

I'll take that chance.

Then I'm coming with you.

Stay here.

Yeah, right.

Lexa, just give me
two minutes with her.

Two minutes.

No!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh...

How did you do that?

Look, there's some things in
this world you can understand.

And there's some
things that you can't.

Oh, God.

And you fall into the latter?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

It's okay. Look, it's
going to be okay. Trust me.

I'm getting you out of here.

Okay?

Oh, God.

Okay.

It's all right.

Tell us you have good news.

I have discovered the key
on how to kill the locusts.

Sound waves.

The right frequency
shatters the destruct organ.

Killing them instantly.

Well, I can upload it to the
Helix, so we can pump it out
through the external speakers.

Yeah, but the Helix's sonic
range is only a hundred metres.

Oh, would you stop complaining?

That gives you two minutes to
neutralize these things

after they've been released.

If we can find 'em.

Well, you better.

These things reproduce
at an alarming rate.

And once they spread, they will
devour anything in their path.

Any chance we might be able to
narrow down the field for us?

I would have to say that you're
going to have to go low-tech.

What do you mean? Swoop over the
corn fields like a crop duster?

Well, unless you've
got a better idea...

I'm right behind you guys.

What the hell's going on?
Is Alisha okay?

You can say she's
a little confused.

Well, see if she knows
where the locusts are
going to be released.

Who are you talking to?

I'm talking to a friend.
She's just trying to help.

Now, do you have any idea
where Nate might be trying to
release the locusts?

I don't know...

Come on, think.

Think!

I don't know!
I just found out about this.

You have to believe me.
I just found out about this.

It's impossible to
cover this much area.

These corn fields go on
for hundreds of miles.

Yeah, well, if we don't find
these locusts in time,

Chester's little buddies are
going to cut through those
fields like a machete.

Okay, kids. They just pulled
onto the freeway.

You're heading
north on the I-80.

We just got onto a freeway.

A freeway?

What direction are we going in?

We're heading north.
North on the I-80.

North on the I-80...

You know what?

I remember seeing paperwork.
We leased a farm.

Where?

South... south of Gilroy.

You got that, guys?

We are about forty
miles north of there.

According to this, there's only
two farms outside the town.

Looks like we got a
fifty-fifty chance.

Tell you what.

Why don't we just stop
at the one where we hear
the locusts buzzing?

Release them, then get
those trucks out of here.

Oh, my God.

It's okay.

I'm scared.

It's okay.

I'm not going to let
anything happen to you.

Do it.

And bury her in the field.

Got it.

Okay go over there.
Stay behind me.

No. No no no...

Yes, get over there.

Agghh...!

Come on!

Good. Come on.

Isn't it a little
too early for sunset?

Aw! Come on. Go. Go go go!

Okay, I've got the wave
pattern locked and loaded.
We're ready to go.

We gonna need earplugs
for this thing?

Relax. The frequency is well
out of your hearing range.

But I'm probably going to
end up with a migraine.

Aw, then I'll have to get
you a couple of aspirin.

Oh..!

You okay? Come on.

You may be bullet-proof,
but she isn't.

Don't move!

What, like this?

Agh...!

Hey, Bren, Shalimar,
what's going on?

Somebody call for
an exterminator?

Now, Bren. Forty more seconds,
the bugs'll be out of range.

See ya, Chester.

Ugh...

oh...

It worked.

Yeah, no kidding.

Well, the good news is
the bugs are destroyed.

The bad news is the windshield
of the Helix is a mess.

Yeah, and I'm not cleaning it.

Well, guys, apparently
the Dominion destroyed
all of ZDT's research.

Well, I guess that leaves Alisha
to rebuild the company from the
ground up.

You know, something tells
me she won't have a problem.

Were you always like this?

It started in high school.

So all the time that
we were together you...

you were just hiding it from me?

You know, you could've
told me that.

I would've accepted it, right?

Yeah, but at the time I
couldn't accept it in myself.

So this, uh...

this...

new life that you have...

makes you happy?

Yeah.

Yeah, it does.

But there's no room for...

you know, a wife, or...

a white picket fence...?

I wish it was that simple.

But as much as I would like
to, I can't change who I am.

Why does it seem like all the
good men are either gay or
married...

or Mutants?

So I take it there
are others like you?

Like her?

Yeah.

Well, next time a woman comes
along that fits into your life,
promise me something.

Uh huh.

Don't let her go.

Bye.

Hey.

Listen, it happens
to the best of us.

But you'll be fine.

Yeah, whatever.
