[SOLDIER 1] Go! Go! [SOLDIER 2] What are we looking for?

[ALARM CONTINUES BUZZING]

She jumped over the fence.

[INDISTINCT RADIO COMMUNICATION]

[TRAIN HORN BLARING]

[SCREAMS]

[GURGLING]

A couple of trains came through here about the time she escaped.

You think she could have gotten this far in that time?

Is she that fast?

She is that fast.

[TRAIN-CROSSING BELL RINGING]

[WOMAN 1] They were? [WOMAN 2] Yeah.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[MAN] And this too. [CASHIER] 3. 10.

- Three dollars and ten cents? - Right.

- Here's your change. - Thank you.

[CASHIER] Can I help you?

The total's 17.95.

Here's your card.

Are you gonna buy those?

[CONDUCTOR OVER PA] Train number 33, the Desert Star, to Los Angeles via Salt Lake City...

now boarding. All aboard, please.

[ATTENDANT] Have a nice trip.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[PASSENGER] It's brown tweed bag with leather trim. Like a duffel.

- Do you see it anywhere? - [ATTENDANT] Sir, it's not here.

The porter said he'd bring it out and put it on the cart.

[ATTENDANT] Well, this is the cart. There's no bag here.

[TRAIN-CROSSING BELL RINGING]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING ON TV]

[REPORTER] Government authorities said

this was the largest earthquake to strike-

[CLICKS BUTTON]

[ANNOUNCER] He's riding Greased Lightning.

Whoa! That was Shorty Kincaid.

Enjoy the view.

[TRAIN HORN BLARES]

Excuse me.

[MAN ON TV] We shouldn't be seen together.

Father hasn't been dead long. Do you think Arlen suspects?

[WOMAN] No. It's not too soon for us to be together.

[KNOCKING]

Tickets, please.

Oh, are you travelling by yourself?

What, you're 12?

Someone gonna meet you in Los Angeles?

We'll say that you're 11. Then you only pay half price.

[AIDE] Can't believe our little girl did this.

She's not a little girl.

DNA typing and material found in those wounds proves it was her.

She could be anywhere. Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, anywhere.

We should stop all the trains.

And have the rail road and local police

ask a million questions we can't answer?

We'll put key personnel at every stop along these lines.

I want a team to track her.

Hunt her down.

- Good morning, Jill. - Hello.

Thank you for taking care of my cat.

We'll take very good care of him. Won't we?

I won't be gone for very long.

Take care of yourself.

Bye-bye.

[WOMAN] Are you still having problems with the people at work?

They point the finger at me, saying...

I'm the weird one. I'm the strange one.

Why? Because I have feelings?

Because I feel?

There's someone at the door.

[KNOCKING]

I won't answer that.

Whoever it is, they can come back at the end of the hour.

That's for me.

Sorry I have to interrupt. We need your help, Dan.

I know.

Uh... Gotta go.

[TRAIN HORN BLARING]

[GASPS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV]

[MAN ON TV] I wanna speak to Miss Florida...

[WHIMPERS, MOANS]

[WHIMPERING]

[CRYING]

[BLATHERS]

[SCREAMING]

Mr. Fitch will be with you all in just a moment.

Well,

I guess we all must be here for the same reason.

- Whatever that is. - I'm Dan Smithson.

And I don't know why I'm here, either.

But, um, they said they needed me

and that it was very important, so I came.

What do you do, Dan?

I...

I'm an empath.

Sometimes they show me awful things that people have done.

Then I try to tell them why they did it.

What qualifies you for that?

I feel things deeply, that's all.

What am I feeling right now?

You wanna believe that nothing affects you.

That...

[LAUGHS]

You're not afraid of anything.

But you're curious,

just like the rest of us.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, Stephen Arden. Harvard Anthropology Department.

Expert at cross-cultural behaviour.

Laura Baker. Hi. Molecular biologist. Hi.

And who are you, and what do you do?

Preston Lennox.

And if I'm here

I think the shit has definitely hit the fan.

What exactly is your area of speciality, Mr. Lennox?

Let's just say I'm a freelance solution

to some of our government's problems.

[CHUCKLES]

And what exactly might they be?

The kind that people don't usually like to talk about.

You hunt people, don't you?

I guess so.

[INDISTINCT TV CHATTER FROM ROOM]

You in here, honey? It's a little late for TV-

You in here, honey?

[SLOW PULSING NOISE]

[SCREAMS]

Good evening, I'm Xavier Fitch.

I'm in charge of this operation.

Would you sit a little closer, please?

In November of 1974, a small group from SETI-

I like it.- E-T-I, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

- Used the radio dishes - at Arecibo

to send out a message to whoever might be listening.

They sent about a quarter of a kilobyte,

including structure of human DNA,

a map of our solar system,

population of the Earth. Helpful facts like that.

In January of 1993, Arecibo received a message back.

From an extra terrestrial unknown source.

That's great.

Intelligent life beyond this planet?

Yes.

There were two distinct communications.

The first message turned out to be

a superior catalyst for methane.

We now have the potential to produce

an infinite amount of energy from this clean-burning fuel.

This convinced us that we were dealing

with a friendly intelligence.

The second message turned out to be a new sequence of DNA,

with friendly instructions on how to combine it with ours.

Here's some technical data on the whole operation.

You can get feedback from Dr. Baker.

Basically, the new combined-DNA sequence

was injected into 100 human ova.

We got seven to divide.

Four petered out.

Two were stored in liquid nitrogen.

And we allowed one to grow.

That's its code name there, Sil.

That's after 2 hours.

One day.

- Two days. - My God.

This growth is amazing.

[FITCH] That's a week.

It's a girl.

Yes, I-

We decided to make it female so that it would be more docile and controllable.

[PRESS] More docile and controllable, huh?

Well, I guess you guys don't get out much.

[FITCH] That's her one month after she was born.

So you kept her caged-in there?

We decided it was safer to keep her in isolation.

She didn't like being locked up like that.

She didn't like being alone like that.

Didn't she?

She's hiding something. Something inside.

You're right, Dan.

This is three months after she was born,

and you watch carefully.

[MUFFLED SHRIEKING]

What the hell was that?

Back the tape up.

Watch her eyes.

Rapid eye movement. She's dreaming.

[MUFFLED SHRIEKING]

She's having horrible nightmares.

It's some kind of anxiety reaction.

Got me a little anxious.

[FITCH] Well, it made the research team

a little anxious too, so

the decision was made to terminate the experiment.

To run more research to see what we were dealing with.

You were going to gas her?

That was the decision.

[DAN] It makes you feel mad.

It makes you feel mad that you had to kill her, doesn't it?

I don't know.

Wow.

Yes.

Yesterday morning, the body of a transient was found in a boxcar near Salt Lake City.

Preliminary DNA tests conclude

he was killed by our creation, by our Sil.

Have you found any other bodies?

- No, we haven't. Not yet. - [DAN] You will.

She's a predator. Her eyes are in front.

Her eyes are in front so she can judge the distance to her prey.

That's right.

Where'd you learn that fact, Dan?

I saw it on a documentary on the Discovery Channel.

I caught that show myself.

- [FITCH] Mr. Lennox. - Yeah?

As the, um-Well, the non-scientist amongst us,

are you at all clear about what's going on here?

Oh, I think so.

You created a monster

with some kind of formula you got from outer space.

The damn thing got away.

And now you want us to hunt it down and kill it.

Now, is that pretty close?

I guess.

[LAURA] Wait a minute. You don't want us

to capture her alive so that we can study her?

Laura, I think this is strictly a search-and-destroy operation.

Nobody ever asked me to find anything they didn't want dead.

I'm sorry for you.

Yeah, well...

Thank you, Dan.

I'm sorry for her.

[CONDUCTOR OVER PA] Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

Welcome to Los Angeles, California.

This is the terminal stop for the Desert Star.

All passengers please disembark.

[MAN OVER PA] Trains of Chicago, Salt Lake City,

Los Angeles and Barstow

[INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENT]

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTINUE]

[CROWD CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

This is your final boarding call for train number 12

to Santa Barbara, San Jose, San Francisco...

[FLIES BUZZING]

Something bad happened here.

- No shit. - Crushed her larynx.

She was afraid.

She's scared. She's frightened.

[ARDEN] Hungry, too, by the looks of it.

She's been eating like a horse.

Well, our girl is definitely not on a diet.

[LAURA] Well, she must be storing up calories for something.

Any ideas?

Oh, my-

[COUGHS]

Well, that's, uh...

That looks like some sort of, uh, chrysalis.

Some-Some kind of cocoon.

What are we looking for, a giant moth?

Uh...

If that is a cocoon, she'll be fully grown now.

Fully grown.

Well, maybe that's how she got by our people.

They were looking for a child.

She is a child.

It stinks in here. I'm going outside.

Get the conductor's ID and credit card numbers on your computer.

There's no sign of them on the train.

Let's assume she took them with her.

- I'll see to that. - She kills if she feels threatened.

And she has no remorse about it. None.

Of course, Los Angeles is perfect for her.

It's a city of the future.

Anything goes.

Totally mobile population. Everyone's a stranger.

Very little here is taboo or unacceptable.

Whatever she does, no one's going to notice.

Yeah? Well, whatever.

So...

Los Angeles is where the battle is gonna be fought.

And won.

[PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Right. Well, I've been waiting here...

[CASHIER] You look very pretty.

Do you have a hundred?

Here we are.

Be more careful with your money. Not everybody's as honest as me.

Are you foreign?

Do you speak English?

- Yes. - Here. You keep this.

Ah. Here, let me take this.

Be careful here.

Yes.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[BELLBOY] Watch your step.

Our old laboratory, Visitor Base One,

is being moved two blocks from here

to some empty virus research labs at the university.

They're moving our equipment now.

It'll be operational by 8:00. Check into your rooms.

Everyone out front in 15 minutes. We'll go on over.

What exactly are we gonna do?

Process the evidence from the train.

Couldn't we try growing this creature with its own DNA?

We make up a version without ours this time

so we can investigate its vulnerabilities.

That'd be good.

Then I could know how it feels.

[ARDEN] It makes sense.

This human life form could be a mask. Without the camouflage-

You're right. You're right.

Then at least we'd know what we were dealing with.

[FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING FROM STORE]

[MAN OVER PA] Attention all Los Angeleans...

[HORN BLARES]

A couple of posers just ran- Oh, I got a customer.

I'll call you back.

Yes, young lady. Can I help you?

I want a room.

Sixty-two, including tax.

Uh, that should just about cover the honeymoon suite.

[LOUD CRASH ON TV]

[SIREN WAILING]

Hi. Come here often?

What's your sign?

[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[CLICKS BUTTON]

[WOMAN] Tired of brunette?

Change.

Change the colour of your hair.

Colour-Tress.

[WHIRRING NOISE]

Okay, I've just increased the magnification.

When I pierce the cell, the foreign DNA will be introduced.

Shit!

The camera's just gone down. Um...

Excuse me. Do you have a replacement camera?

We have a standby, but it will take some time for a technician to come by and replace it.

Oh, no. This happens in my lab all the time. It's simple to replace it.

You saying you can do it?

Sure I can. I just need somebody to give me a hand.

I don't want technicians in there. This is classified.

I'll do it.

- I'll do it. - Man of action, I like that.

That's me.

[ALARM BUZZING]

[ALARM STOPS]

[LAURA] Can you get that one for me?

All right. Give me the camera.

Somethings. Somethings wrong.

Christ, it's started already.

It's started already. Get the top back on.

- What? - Laura, Press, get the top back on.

[PRESS] Here you go.

She must have penetrated the cell when the camera went down.

- Oh, shit. - What was that?

[ARDEN] He dropped the bolt.

- Find the bolt, get the top back on. - I'm looking, Fitch.

Can they hear me in there?

Laura, Press, get the top on. Then I'm going to let you out of the room.

[LAURA] Where'd it go?

I think it fell through the grate.

[FITCH] Can you lift up the grate?

- [PRESS] It's not gonna move. - This isn't going anywhere.

[PRESS] No, can't get it.

Press, you gotta get the bolt out from under the grate.

Can't get to it. The floor's welded down.

Oh, my God.

Press. Oh, my God.

- I've never seen anything like this. - Holy shit.

I can't let them out of the room.

- Press, look. - Come on.

[PRESS] Fitch, let us out of here!

Open the god-damn door!

- I can't until I know what's in there. - [LAURA] Open the door now!

- Let them out. - I can't do that!

[PRESS] Open up the fucking door! [LAURA] Let us out!

[FITCH] Tell me it's going to stop growing, Dan. Tell me!

It's not, let them out!

[PRESS] Open up the door!

[DAN] Press! Press!

[PRESS] What the fuck is that!

Laura, get to the other door!

- Let her out, Fitch! - I can't let her out.

- Let her out! - I can't do that!

- You mother fucker! - What's wrong with you?

[ARDEN] You've got to let them out!

- I can't hold it in! - Get out of the way.

I'm gonna burn it! Get out of the way!

[CREATURE SHRIEKS]

What is this thing? What is-?

In two minutes, I'll have to burn the room.

- What? - I have to burn the whole room.

You've got less than two minutes to kill it.

Disconnect the gas line. Use it as a flamethrower.

[CREATURE SHRIEKS]

- Grab the table! - [LAURA] Ah!

[PRESS] Laura, watch out!

- Where'd it go? - [LAURA] In the pipe!

- Open the door! - Shut up, Dan!

[WOMAN'S VOICE] One minute remaining.

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

[PRESS] Laura,

it stopped moving. I think I killed it.

It's dead! Open the door!

It's dead, Fitch. Let them out.

Oh, God. It's not dead.

[LAURA WHIMPERING]

[PRESS] Shit. [LAURA] What are we going to do?

[WOMAN'S VOICE] Thirty seconds remaining.

Not much time. We gotta get out.

Open the door!

- Let them out. - I can't do that. It might escape.

- I have to follow protocol. - What protocol?

By which we're running the experiment.

[ARDEN] You didn't tell them that before they went in there.

Fitch, let them out.

- Eleven, 10... - Fitch, let them out!

I have to follow protocol.

Let them out, Fitch!

Go, get out of there!

Three, two, one.

- I hope you realise I had no choice. - Yeah, sure.

But the protocol is to burn the room in two minutes if anything went wrong.

[MAN ON TV] Attention all cars, raider four should pick him up first

unless he changes course.

Call on unit four if you make contact.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Where's a good place to find a man?

Well, there's plenty of guys at the Id around the corner.

It's a club. You won't have trouble meeting somebody there.

Thank you.

You can't miss it. Just look for the long line.

Oh, hey, I need your credit card.

For room incidentals, long distance calls,

damaged room, so forth.

Credit card? Zip zap?

Plastic? American Express, Visa, MasterCard?

There you go. Thanks. All right.

Thank you.

Oh, hey. Oh, wait a minute! Hey!

Hey!

You don't want this falling into the wrong hands.

No.

Here's Justin Crawl. His shot comes through-

[PHONE RINGS]

- Eighteen-forty-two left to go here- - Yeah?

The conductor's stolen credit card has turned up

at a motel in Hollywood. The van's out front.

Let's go.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING FROM INSIDE]

You two.

Enjoy yourselves.

You, legs. You're in. Go on.

[DARYL D'BONNEAU'S SAY YOU'RE GONNA STAY PLAYING]

Hey. Hey, where are you from?

- I'm foreign. - You're what?

- I'm foreign. - Foreign. Really?

Whoa, whoa. Easy, easy.

I've got a party to go to and no one to take me.

I'll take you.

[WOMAN] You will? [MAN] Yeah.

[WOMAN] Okay. I'm gonna go to the little girls' room.

You wait right here.

I'll be right back.

[MAN] I'll be right here.

Whatever it takes, right?

Hey, all's fair in love and war.

[CHUCKLES]

Buddy...

[SCREAMS]

[SIL GROWLS]

[SCREAMING]

[PRESS] Can't see much on that.

Get this tape back to the lab.

Enhance it. I-

Let's see if we can get a better look at her.

She looks nice.

Do you have any idea where she went?

I'll find her.

[CLERK] She wanted to know where she could meet a man.

I sort of suggested a club called the Id around the corner.

Get that tape.

[CRYSTAL METHOD'S KEEP HOPE ALIVE PLAYING]

[SHOUTING]

I've got a party to go to and no one to take me.

Where is this party?

I don't know.

[SCREAMING]

[MAN] Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't park there.

Back that up.

- Uh, you can't go in there. - Hey, hey!

What's going on here?

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING NEARBY]

[WOMAN YELLING]

Nobody leaves the club, and I mean nobody!

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

There's always some action in this part of town.

[JOYCE SIMS COME INTO MY LIFE PLAYING ON RADIO]

[PRESS] Blue-eyed blond.

Black leggings, pink sweater, 5'10 tall.

Who'd she leave with?

[BOUNCER] Blue-eyed blond leaves with a guy. It's hardly news around here.

Just name the top attractions. The regulars. No losers.

Should assume he's socially adept. He'll be helping her out. She's inex-

We're looking for a friendly guy, not a total ass hole.

[BOUNCER] I'm thinking.

- Robbie left with a blond. - [DAN] That's him.

That's him.

Come on. Let me show you the rest of the house.

Oh, I'm still sweaty from that place.

It's so crowded.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

[R&B MUSIC PLAYING]

Like it?

Yes.

I feel like a shower.

You want one?

Tell you what.

I'm gonna take one.

Wanna get in and take one later,

no problem.

[WATER RUNNING]

Take off your clothes.

I wanna see you.

Very nice.

- Can you drive me back? - What are you talking about?

You knew what we came here for.

I've changed my mind.

All right. You said no.

It's duly noted. Come here.

I said, I wanna go.

Too late, babe. You're not leaving.

I said, you're not leaving!

- All right. - That's better.

[GRUNTING]

What's happening? Kills a girl at the club,

comes home with this guy, kills him.

Well, I'd say she fits the classic definition of a psychopath.

She's got nothing to inhibit her.

No moral sense, no social structure.

[LAURA SIGHS]

Well, she wasn't exactly smothered with a mother's love

or taught good manners, you know?

[FITCH] I asked what was happening.

He did something to her. She was angry.

She'll kill if she feels threatened.

She'll kill anyone that gets in her way.

Gets in her way of what?

[LAURA] Her life cycle.

I think she's trying to mate.

- Reproduce. - Okay.

So why did she kill the girl at the club?

Sexual competition.

She's pretty hard on the competition.

And now she's managed to mate.

Doesn't look like a successful mating to me.

He's still got his pants on.

- [DAN] She's frustrated. - Who isn't?

What is her problem? He was here. She was here.

[LAURA] All right, maybe she rejected him.

She probably has some special kind of senses.

Rats can sense diseased or genetic damage

in their potential mates.

So we can test his body for any hereditary diseases.

Any defects that would have made him

a loser, essentially.

Needles.

Maybe he was some kind of a doper

or diabetic.

Yeah, either way would have made him unacceptable.

Excuse me.

All right.

Insulin. Diabetic. There you have it.

She could have just walked out. Why did she have to kill him?

Well, I guess he pissed her off.

Some men don't like to be rejected.

They get insistent.

- Put an APB out on his car. - [PRESS] It's already out.

We'll go back to the motel.

I wanna check it out thoroughly.

More docile and controllable, huh, Fitch?

[CHATTERING]

What do you think, Dan?

What do I think?

I think she'd want to be alone right now.

I don't think she's going to wanna come here

with all these cars lined up out front.

Well, you are assuming she could find her way back here.

[DAN] She could.

[FITCH] What is it?

Maybe menstrual blood.

If she's menstruating, she's definitely capable of reproduction.

Yes, I know.

[STARTS ENGINE]

[JOYCE SIMS COME INTO MY LIFE PLAYS ON RADIO]

Shit!

Oh, Jesus.

Excuse me.

[MAN] Call a paramedic! Anybody got a phone?

[MAN ON RADIO] If your commute takes you westbound

on the Santa Monica freeway, expect delays of one hour.

The homeward drive is going to be slow for people

who are heading to Malibu-

[FITCH] The video enhancement is, uh, not all that great.

[ARDEN] How old do you think she is? Twenty, 23?

[SIGHS]

Her reproductive system should be fully developed.

Her biological clock must be in hyper drive.

She wants to have a baby.

[ARDEN] If she manages to have a child,

our problems have just started.

If her offspring's male,

and it develops at the same accelerated rate as Sil,

it could be capable of reproduction in less than six months.

God knows how many females it could impregnate.

[PRESS] Fitch.

You see, when a predatory species is introduced

into a closed ecological system,

the extinction of the weaker species is inevitable.

They found the murdered guy's BMW.

Ran out of gas in Santa Monica.

And what is her name?

- I don't know her name. - So who are you?

Well, you know, she didn't have any ID on her.

So I just thought I'd come by to make sure she was okay.

You think she's got insurance?

I don't know. Here, just put it on my credit card for the time being.

And you don't know her name.

Guys like you are hard to find.

Get a lab workup on that, stat.

Arrange to get her up to X-ray. I want an x-ray on this.

It looks like a scapula fracture.

[WOMAN OVER PA] Respiratory technician to CCU. Respiratory technician to CCU.

[SIGHS]

[DOCTOR] Your sh-Your shoulder wound.

What's going on here?

[NURSE] Doctor, we need you immediately.

A child burn victim just came in.

- What is going on here? - Doctor, please.

Jesus Christ! Did you see her shoulder?

Doctor, please. We need you immediately.

You're okay?

I'm okay.

Well, I was sure you were seriously injured.

I'm okay.

You are. It's a miracle.

Can we go?

Well, did-? Did the doctor say you could go?

Yes.

We'll send somebody over there. Thanks a lot.

A report's come in. Doctor over at Parkbay Hospital

called in with some weird story.

We should check it out. It's only a couple of miles.

Laura,

Press, take a car, check it out.

- Parkbay Hospital? - Yeah, Parkbay.

She walked.

She walked.

She walked that way.

Not too long ago.

[OPERA MUSIC PLAYING]

Got some fruit and cheese here.

What is that?

What, do you mean the hot tub?

A hot tub.

I love this place.

It's away from the traffic, and the business and all the people.

Sometimes it feels like you're not in L.A. anymore.

Here.

We'll immortalise the moment.

[TIMER BEEPING]

Look at the camera.

[GASPS]

[DOCTOR] This girl literally

- reformed her bone structure. - [LAURA] It's her.

Who checked her in?

I don't know. Let's find out.

She had no insurance,

so this guy put it on his own credit card.

Here's the file. John F. Carey.

You haven't got a driver's license, home address,

social security number, or anything like that?

No, sir.

I only got an imprint of his credit card.

That's the only information I have.

Can you give us a printout of whatever you've got?

No problem.

Some candy?

[LAURA] All right, it's addressed in the Palisades,

and he's got a phone number.

Tell Fitch where we're headed, and try to get John Carey on the line.

[OPERA MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]

[PHONE RINGING]

I- I'd better get the phone.

I've got his machine. Should I leave a message?

Yeah.

Tell him he's about to copulate

with a creature from outer space.

[LAUGHS]

- Copulate, huh? - Yeah.

I like you.

I know.

It's not too soon for us to be together.

No, it's not too soon.

You don't need these.

Whoa. Hey, hey. That's a little fast.

Whoa, whoa!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoa!

Whoa!

[CHUCKLES]

What's the matter?

Take it easy.

Just relax.

There's plenty of time.

What is it?

Oh, no. I think someone's at the door.

Don't go.

Please. I want a baby.

What! Excuse me?

[GASPING]

What happened?

A squirrel. It was fucking squirrel!

- She was here. - Yeah, she was.

I wanna make sure she's not still here.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Perhaps we should check the body for any evidence that they've had sex.

[DAN] I used to be scared at the sight of blood.

But now I guess I'm getting used to it.

Oh, yes.

[CAR LOCK BEEPS]

- Hey! - You've gotta help me, please!

Oh, my God. What's the matter?

We found this in the living room.

She liked him.

Well, not enough.

Can't see any more on that than we did on the video monitor.

[FITCH] He didn't get a very good picture of her, did he?

Criminologist says there's no evidence

of semen in the hot tub water.

Well, maybe she took it with.

So she probably hasn't managed to mate.

We-We interrupted her.

Yes, I think we did.

Give me something I can use.

What have you come up with lately, Fitch?

She's not scared of us.

That's for sure.

We're all beat.

We'll go back to the hotel, get some rest.

Tomorrow night

we'll go back to the club.

- Stake it out. SIL: Stake it out.

Ah, she's not stupid.

She's not gonna repeat herself.

There's no point in going there.

It provided such a poor specimen.

I'm not so sure.

Look, she's been in the city two days.

It's what she knows.

And I'd rather try the club

than sit around the command centre,

reminiscing about how close we got.

[LAURA] She would make one excellent

biological weapon.

If someone out there thought

we were some kind of galactic weed

that was going to spread through the universe.

So, what you're saying is, that, uh,

she's the cure, and we're the disease?

That's well said.

[NURSE]Baker, Laura.

[NURSE]1735 Meander Drive,

Simi Valley, California.

That's you, right?

Last time I checked.

What do you do for kicks out there in Simi Valley?

Oh,

Pine for guys like you.

That's what I thought.

[LAUGHS]

So, anyone hungry?

Uh, no, thanks. I'm beat.

I'm just gonna try to get some sleep.

- Good night. - Yeah. Night.

I'll have something to eat with you.

Thanks, Dan.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

[PANTS]

[WHIMPERS]

[GRUNTS]

- Do you ever have nightmares? - Yes.

Please untie my hands.

I wouldn't hurt you. Please?

I have them.

I think they tell me who I am.

Why are you doing this to me?

I don't know why I'm here.

I don't know who I am, who sent me.

- Do you? - No!

- Why do you think you're here? - I don't know.

Please, let me go.

Please. Please, let me go.

[CRYING] I wouldn't hurt you.

I promise.

- I wouldn't hurt you. I- - Yes, you would.

You just don't know it yet.

No, I wouldn't! Please.

My hands are hurting me.

[SOBS]

Thank you.

Thank you.

[PANICKED CRIES]

[SCREAMS]

Oh, my God!

[SCREAMING]

No!

[SOBS]

[WHIMPERING]

Oh, my God, no!

No! No!

[SCREAMING]

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

[LATTANZI'S NURSE TAKE ME NURSE PLAYING]

[DAN] Laura and Press, they like each other.

They just don't like to show how they feel, you know?

What?

Laura and Press. They like each other.

Yeah, whatever you say, Dan.

Look, it's really smoky in here. I'm gonna go outside, get a bit of air.

Okay.

Think I'll lie down in the van, have a rest.

This is a complete waste of time.

Ever get the feeling you're on a wild goose chase?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Haagh!

Get out of here! This is my trashcan, man.

[GASPS]

It's you.

Hey!

She's here! Hey!

[WHIMPERING]

- Dan. Is that her? - Yeah. Here.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[FITCH] Get in the van!

Everybody get in the van!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

They're heading into the hills.

We'll need the helicopters.

Yeah, we're going up Nichols Canyon.

One of you try to block her at Mulholland.

[GASOLINE SLOSHING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

[LAURA] Whoa! Watch it!

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

Aaaggghhh!

Oh, my God.

[HELICOPTERS WHIRRING]

[HORN HONKING]

We blocked the road in both directions.

The press is going ape-shit. We've gotta tell them something.

Tell them what you want. Just don't tell them the truth.

I don't buy her showing up at the club like that.

It's too damn convenient.

Well, seeing is believing,

or don't you trust your own eyes?

Get back! Get all these people back!

Fitch. Fitch. It doesn't feel right.

Sir!

We found what looks like a severed thumb

in the the pocket of one of the doors that got ripped off.

Here, let me see that.

She may have caught it in the door, trying to get out.

We'll get it to the lab. If it's hers, it'll check out.

It'll be genetically identifiable.

It's all over, everyone.

Tomorrow you can go back to your lives.

Congratulations on a job well done.

Just like that, huh, Fitch?

I don't think so.

[PHONE RINGING]

[WOMAN ON MACHINE] Hi, sharp ones. Leave me a message, okay?

And, Frank, are we going to dinner?

Where are we meeting? Bye, sweetie.

Waiter?

Well, I guess we won.

We won, science lost.

I didn't think we'd get her this way.

- Not that easy. - You sound like you'll miss her.

Yeah, I guess I will.

I think I respected her.

[SIEDAH GARRETT'S [NURSE]IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW[NURSE] PLAYING]

I know this has been a hellish job,

but I've really enjoyed working with you three.

And seeing as Uncle Sam is buying the drinks,

why don't we have another round.

- Waiter! - I don't-I don't drink, Ard.

Don't worry, Dan. Tonight you will.

You wanna dance?

- Who, me? - Yeah, you.

All right.

[GIGGLING] Okay.

I know you don't have a family.

So do you have a girlfriend in New York?

Well, I guess I've had a few, but they don't hang around very long.

I guess I keep too many secrets.

You wanna share one with me?

- Right now? - Yeah.

Well, I know what you do, and it doesn't scare me.

Oh, really?

No.

Well, it does most people.

I wouldn't wanna never see you again.

- Hey. - [MAN] What are you-?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I thought you were somebody else.

I'm sorry.

You okay?

I thought it was her. I thought it was Sil.

- I saw the blond hair. - She's dead, Press.

The tests on the thumb proved it was her.

Yeah, well, you got your test, and I got my gut.

And I just don't buy it.

You wanna know what I think?

As long as you feel she's out there, you got a mission.

Maybe you don't want this job to be over.

Uh-huh.

Well, maybe not. So what?

Thanks for the dance.

Good night.

Hey, what do you call this?

It's called a Long Island Iced Tea.

It's got tea in it?

Nope.

[SIGHS]

Smells nice. Can I try some?

Help yourself.

Does it work on your boyfriend?

Huh. Yeah, as a repellent.

I don't know.

I think he's in remarkably good shape for a man his age.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

One Long Island Iced Tea.

[SLURRING] I like these cup-These cups of tea.

[CHUCKLES]

- What? - That's great.

What?

What?

Hey, give me one of those.

I like these cups of tea, man.

You guys, I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed.

So?

She's going to bed.

I guess.

She still...

wants to see you, though.

Maybe I'll go find out if you're right about that.

[DINGS]

Hate to be in one of these things during an earthquake.

Yeah.

What floor do you want?

Uh. ten, please.

[SNIFFING]

I like your perfume.

You do?

Thank you.

Excuse me, I get out here.

Good night.

[EXHALES]

[WHISPERS] Yes.

- Hi. - Hi.

Did you want something?

Maybe.

Maybe?

Mm.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

God.

[GIGGLING]

Oh! Ugh!

[KEYS JINGLING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Housekeeping.

Dan. Dan.

Those two over there.

Bet they like unusual men like us.

[DAN] Women think I'm strange.

I don't feel well.

Don't be silly.

Just go over there and talk to them.

I have to go.

And I think you should leave with me, okay?

Well, I'm gonna stay for a while, actually.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Housekeeping.

[GIGGLING]

- Hi. - Hi.

I couldn't help noticing, sitting over there.

I was wondering what two very intelligent,

glamorous-looking women were doing without dates.

Oh, my name's Stephen Arden, by the way.

I teach Comparative Anthropology at Harvard.

Oh, I lived in Boston once.

- Yeah? - For a year.

Froze my butt off. Umm...

Yeah, kinda cold in Boston.

This is Bill and Tony. I forget your name.

Cute little socks.

[GIGGLING]

Stand up.

[LAURA] Whew.

How did you get in here?

- I stole the key. - What?

I saw you downstairs, but you were with all those people.

So I thought I'd come up and wait.

Whoa.

Uh, this kind of thing doesn't usually happen to me.

I just wanna be with you.

Huh? You-

Oh, yes.

Whoa.

What about protection?

[MUTED]

[BOTH MOANING]

[WATER RUNNING]

[TURNS OFF WATER]

She's here. She's here.

- [LAURA] Press? - Uh-huh.

Someone's at the door.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Who's there? - Press, Laura.

It's Dan. I gotta talk to you.

Oh, Christ, what does he want?

- What's the problem, Dan? - I just got this terrible feeling.

I just get this strange thought, this image of Sil with Arden.

Sil is next door with Arden, Press.

No, no, no. She's dead, Dan.

I got a little upset,

so I went to his room and there's someone there with him.

Did you knock on the door?

I knocked, but I don't know what she'll do, you know?

All I know is they're making a lot of noise.

They're having sex.

I know it's Sil, Press. I know it's Sil. I know it!

Okay. I believe you. I'm gonna get dressed.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Well, I enjoyed that immensely.

Oh.

- I felt it. - What?

It's started.

What's started?

- Life. - Oh, my darling girl.

I know in some cultures, women believe

they know the exact moment of conception, but really-

Don't you believe me? Feel.

Holy shit!

[GROWLING]

I hope you're right about this, Dan.

[SHRIEKS]

She's headed for the basement!

[FITCH] We'll take the stairs.

Laura, come with me!

Come on!

If she's pregnant,

we gotta get to her before she gives birth.

God. We don't know what we're dealing with here.

She could have a dozen babies.

She could lay a thousand eggs.

Oh, God.

Did you see Arden?

Yeah, I did, that poor bastard.

If they can make it, we have a trap.

The fire doors can only be opened from the inside

at the bottom exit.

Then what?

- Holy shit. - Oh, my God.

The bitch went right through a steel door.

Fitch! Dan! We're in the garage! She got past us!

You saw her?

She was gone before we got here. Here.

- You saw her! - Look at the door!

- Which way did she go? - I don't know.

- Where's Press? - He took off down the tunnel.

[GROWLING]

[DAN] She kills if she feels threatened.

She kills if she feels threatened.

She must have come through here.

[PRESS] She went down here. There's no other way.

[DAN] Yeah, she's down there.

Let's go.

Stand back. I'll clear it out.

Which way do you think she went, Dan?

[WHISPERS] I don't know.

What?

I'm not sure. She's here.

Think about it, for chrissake.

You're supposed to have some extrasensory power

that could tell us. Which way did she go?

Which way did she go, Dan?

- Which way did she go? - I don't know.

Which way did she go?

I think she went that way.

- You think? - That's good enough for me.

You think she went that way?

You don't fucking know, do you? You don't fucking know.

I'm going this way. You come with me.

- Come with me, Dan! - Fitch.

I think she went this way.

[WATER BUBBLING]

Dan?

Dan?

Aagh!

Fitch! Fitch!

Dan?

What happened?

I can feel her.

She's that way. She's that way.

I never thought I'd want to kill something.

Never thought I'd want to kill...

[GROWLING SOFTLY]

Hey.

It's this way. It's back here.

Hey, she went in here.

This must have opened up during the earthquake.

Okay, stand back.

[SHRIEKS]

[SHRIEKING AND MOANING]

[COUGHS]

[MOANING]

[BABY CRIES]

[PRESS] Wow.

[LAURA] Is that oil?

[PRESS] Looks like it.

I'm gonna go on back through there

and see if I can flush her out.

If she comes back through here, let her have it.

Dan. Dan!

Ugh.

[LAURA] Dan. What is it?

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

[GURGLES]

[BABY GURGLES]

[PANTING]

[PANTING] Dan.

Ugh!

Okay.

It's okay.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

You come here.

Come on.

Come on. I got you.

Aaagh! Ugh!

Press, somethings happened to Dan!

You okay?

Oh! Shit!

[LAURA] Dan?

Dan?

I'm stuck!

[LAURA] Press!

I need your help! I'm stuck!

[SHRIEKING]

[ROARS]

Press!

Dan, you've gotta hang on!

Press!

Dan, hang on.

Press!

[GRUNTING]

Don't give up! Don't give up!

[WATER SPLASHES]

Hang on, Dan!

Hang on! Hold on, Danny!

[LAURA] I got you.

I got you, Dan. Hang on.

[DAN GRUNTS]

[PRESS] Hang on!

[DAN SCREAMING]

Hang on, Dan!

[LAURA] Get rid of her, Press!

[PRESS] Duck your head.

Let go, you mother fucker.

I got you. Hold on, I got you.

[DAN GRUNTS]

I thought I was dead.

I thought you'd drank your last Long Island Ice Tea there, Dan.

[LAURA] Yeah, I thought we all had.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

My pants are a little messed up.

But I'm okay.

[LAURA] She was half us, half something else.

I wonder which was the predatory half.

The dead half.

Let's get the hell out of here.

[PANTING]

[SIGHS]

I never thought I'd be so happy to be back in a sewer.
