Original subtitles

Don't move, don't even breathe.

-Grant, no!!! -Grant!!!

No, no.

Ahhhhh!!!!

Under, come on!

Under!!

Hey, give me your hand, come on!!

Hey, are you alright?

Here, take this.

What are we gonna do now?

Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything hurt you,

I promise.

Let me think about this.

All we could do is sit tight and wait until

the supply chopper comes in and rescue us.

If the supply chopper comes in.

When did the last beacon go out?

It didn't.

Great.

We can be a lot safer here at the water's edge.

I'm going to find a place for us to hide.

Why don't you forge around

and try to find some dry wood, we'll make a fire, alright?

Dad!!

Dad!!

Dad!! No!!!

No, no, no!!!

Major, any word?

Nothing, sir, not even a beacon blip from the island.

That's not like Richardson.

Not hearing from him spells just one thing- trouble.

Agreed. Do you think we should send a team in

see if anything's gone wrong?

I contacted Nelson on the Conroy.

The carrier's somewhere close to Isla Damas.

Tell them to get a recon team in there as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me, I'm looking for a man named Stoddard.

You know where I could find him?

Where he always is.

Jerry, I don't know if this is such a good idea.

Are you sure we can trust this guy?

He's got a great rep,

and word is, he's a bit of pirate.

Come on, let's go talk to this guy.

Hi.

Are you Captain Stoddard?

Well, bless my soul, Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed.

What can I do for you?

Heard you had a boat to charter.

A honeymoon trip around the islands?

Well that just warms the cockles of my heart.

Not quite.

Fishing then!

You picked a good time,

the marlin are running.

Actually, we were thinking

of doing a little exploring.

Oh, I get it,

you two, desert island,

alone for a couple of days.

No problem, I know couple of great places.

Actually, we had a rather specific island in mind.

What would that be?

Isla Damas.

I never heard of it.

That's $5,000, heard of it now?

What would you nice people

want to go to Isla Damas for?

We have business there.

Nobody has business on Isla Damas.

We're with One Planet.

Tree huggers?

Environmentalists.

Well, let me save you some time

Mr. and Mrs. One Planet.

I'm not taking you out there; and nobody else will.

It's military, off limits.

We know about the island, Captain,

that's just why we have to get out there.

Sorry, I could lose my license.

That money right there, that's half,

you get the rest when we get back.

So when were you nice people like to leave?

You two plan on getting aboard

any time soon?

We're still waiting for the rest of our party.

Ted, over here!

Finally, we get to travel first class.

Only the best.

Come on, let's go.

You bring the gear?

Got it all.

But I got the important stuff.

Great, but remember this is serious business.

Not a booze cruise.

What, we can't have any fun

while we're saving the world.

Okay, okay, I just don't want anybody getting wasted,

we have a job to do.

That's Captain Stoddard up there.

He'll help get your things stowed.

Captain Stoddard will help us get things stowed, gotcha.

Let's go sis!

Right behind ya.

Miss Crescent, thanks again for coming.

If I get the story you promised,

I'll be thanking you.

You remember my friend Carrie.

How could I forget last season's hottest diva.

I think you're the only reason my cameraman, Dirk

wanted to come along.

You made my Tuesday's Miss Evans.

Thanks, and it's Carrie.

Come on let's go.

Okay, people, we're shoving off, get comfortable

it's going to take a little while to get there.

How long, Captain?

About a three hour tour.

Where have I heard that before.

So how does a famous Hollywood starlet

get involved in an operation like this?

Well I met Jerry at last summer at a fund-raiser

after my show went on hiatus.

I believed in his cause, and we fell in love.

Aww--

so you're not here for

any free publicity or anything like that.

No, I'm not.

We're almost there yet?

You tell me,

do you happen to see an island anywhere out there?

No.

Then we're not almost there yet.

Let me ask you a question.

What's that?

That reporter you brought on board,

I seen her on TV.

People like her don't come this far out

for a joyride.

And your point is?

My point is, I want to know just what

you're planning to do when we get to Isla Damas.

That's simple... Expose the truth.

That's it, Isla Damas.

Well alright, why stop here.

Let's go ashore.

You see those breakers,

they are full of hidden reefs.

One wrong move

and the ship goes right to the bottom.

So when do we go?

We'll anchor here for the evening,

take the skiffer first light tomorrow morning.

You gotta be jacking me! We gotta wait here all night!

We leave right now, we won't get there until dark.

How do you plan on navigating that island in the pitch black.

All right, Captain,

tomorrow morning first light.

Hey listen!

Yeah, helicopter.

Look there they are.

They are army.

Ours?

Yeah, it looks like it.

What are they doing out here?

That's what we are here to find out.

2100 hours, Captain...

And still no sign of the team or the house.

Command said it was about three clicks in from the beach.

Yeah, I know, we must be close,

so let's keep moving.

This is weird, Major, not a sign of life anywhere.

I don't even hear crickets.

I gotta bad feeling about this place,

the sooner we are outta here the better.

Yes, sir, I'm with you on that.

Marsden, go with Monroe and check down that path.

-Yes, sir. -Lerner,

you and Patterson cut around the other side.

Weeks, you're with me.

Anyone sees anything, send up a flare.

Yes, sir.

Watch your asses.

What was that?

Sir, did you hear that?

Yeah, we did. Stay sharp,

take it slow.

Yes, sir. Will do.

What was that?

Damn if I know.

Ahhhhh!!!!

Patterson, lerner, what's going on?

Patterson come in!

Marsden, you got eyes on them?

No sir, what's happening.

Patterson come in! Patterson!!

What now, sir?

This way!! Let's go!!!

What the hell is that?

Something I want dead!

It's not doing any good.

Let's get going.

Down!!

What the hell's going on here, sir?

I don't know, but we're getting outta here now.

I want you to get on the horn and call the chopper

and tell them we need immediate evac.

What is that?

Sounds like mama.

So this is Isla Damas.

No, it's the Jersey shore.

Where do you think those helicopters

landed last night?

Probably brought supplies in from the States.

I don't think they could land in this terrain.

If this is a military installation,

where's the guards?

Where's the security?

Well I hope you've done your homework, gentlemen.

I'd hate to have come all the way out here

to find some satellite tracking outpost

with a couple of buck privates.

My sources say its true.

They're operating under the code name Carnivore.

I'll find it.

You film it.

And together, we'll put an end to it.

Yeah, big victory for One Planet

and bigger ratings for you, right, Ms. Crescent.

I hope so.

Dirk, get out the digicam,

I want to get a little color for the opening.

Right.

Jerry, are you sure we're doing the right thing.

Those helicopters we saw yesterday were military.

Maybe they don't want us here.

Of course, they don't.

They're operating out of their charter.

But baby, if I didn't think this was the right thing,

we wouldn't be here at all.

We'll I don't want to get arrested

or end up in jail or anything.

Doll face, you should have thought of that

before you got on the boat.

Look, Carrie,

the people doing the experiments on this island

are the ones going to jail... not us.

When we expose them,

not only are we doing a good thing,

we'll be famous-- you'll be famous.

I didn't come here to help my career,

I came here to help you.

I know, honey, everything's gonna be fine.

How do I look?

Phenomenal.

Take a couple steps to the left,

I want to get that rock wall in the shot.

Good idea.

You ready?

Three..two..one...

From all indications, Isla Damas

would seem a tropical island getaway,

where one might expect to indulge in sunbathing,

fine food and exotic entertainment.

But according to members of One Planet,

this South Sea paradise has been turned into a living nightmare.

I'm Sandra Crescent for "In Focus",

standing here on a beachhead somewhere

in the south Pacific...

Where abusive animal testing is even now taking place

under the guise of what they call

Project Carnivore.

Joining me here to expose this cruel mishandling

are One Planet champions, Jerry Ryan,

Ted Marks and his sister Darla;

who, over the last five years,

have led a charge to keep this planet

protected from ruthless capitalists.

Also supporting the One Planet's cause

is actress and model Carrie Evans,

featured in last season's reality based "Rack 'em Up."

Together with my cameraman, Dirk Preston,

we intend to reveal the shocking details

of these heinous and disastrous experiments.

We'll be back with more after these words.

Hey, you forgot our Captain.

Yeah, what about Mikey?

Forget it, pal.

I'm just another one of your ruthless capitalists.

Well, then, I guess we should get going.

Everybody ready?

We've got enough food and water for three days.

Hell, we'll be back on the mainland by then.

Ted, same page?

Same page, my brother.

Let's do it.

Captain, I thought you'd stay behind.

To catch a few rays.

Normally, I would, but this time I have

reasons to make sure everyone gets back in one piece.

Reasons?

Yeah, five thousand of 'em.

Sir, we may have a problem.

What is it, Major?

The overlook team from the Conroy

never made it back to the extraction point.

In fact they haven't established radio communication

since late yesterday afternoon.

Damn.

What do we do now, sir?

Well, I'm not putting any more men

on that rock until I know for sure what's going down there.

I'll call Admiral Nelson myself,

I'm sure he's more than a little concerned

about those missing men.

He was, sir.

I'll get him to send out a reconnaissance flight

to take some photographs.

Yes, sir.

Sir, if I may ask,

what are we looking for?

I wish I knew, Major. I wish I knew.

So Ryan,

you know where you're going?

According to my sources,

the compound is approximately three miles inland

from any point along the shoreline.

Well, I hope you're right,

because this little nature hike of yours

is playing havoc on my shoe leather.

According to this map,

we should be there in less than an hour

if we keep up this pace.

Let's hope so, sweetie.

Don't worry Captain, we'll find it.

Should of stayed in the boat.

So, Carrie, what's your secret?

What secret?

Well, we've been walking over an hour

and you've hardly cracked a sweat.

Heck, when I did 'Rack 'em Up' last year,

we spent six weeks in the Amazon.

Compared to that, this is a walk in the park.

Jeese Louise, what was that?

Sounds like something you don't want to see up close.

Stoddard, what are you doing with that?

I gave strict orders...No guns.

Back off, pal, that may be fine for you and your people,

but I live in a different world.

I don't care what world you live in, Captain,

the only weapon I want here is that camera.

I paid for this trip

you work for me.

Listen, son,

when you stepped on that boat, you became a paying customer

not my boss.

According to law, the Captain has the last word.

And this, my friend, is the last word.

Well we're not on your boat anymore,

are we?

That's a plain fact, but perhaps you and your friends

would like to swim back to Bora Bora.

I didn't think so.

Jerry, c'mon, knock it off.

The man's got a point.

After hearing that sound, I am glad one of us has a gun.

Alright, alright, let's just keep moving.

What's this?

Someone's farming.

Is that corn?

Sure is.

But look at the size of it.

It's over two storeys tall.

Hey, Dirk, get a shot of that.

I'm all over it.

It's gonna take one helluva tractor to harvest that crop,

I can tell you.

So, Mr. Ryan, you think this is part of Project Carnivore?

What else could it be?

At least we know we're on the right track.

Well, will you look at that.

Home, sweet, home.

Who the hell built this place way out here?

Doesn't look military to me.

You guys sure you have the right island?

We are now.

Jerry, show him the picture.

Look here.

My informant got this classified picture

when he copied the secret documents.

All the testing's going on right there in that house.

Who are these two guys?

The one on the right I don't know,

but the guy on the left has been positively identified

as Dr. William Richardson.

The geneticist?

That's him.

His theories on DNA cloning are textbook

around the world.

But, why the hell would he come way out here

to the middle of nowhere?

Simple, baby. He sold out.

This kind of testing,

illegal in the United States,

so the U.S. government trekked him way out here.

I wouldn't take everything your told at face value.

From what I've read about the man,

he's always been pro environment.

Well, then let's go inside and see what

he's got to say for himself.

Wait, what about the guards you talked about?

I don't see any.

It doesn't mean they're not there.

Let's take it slow.

Alright, we're going in right now.

I'm not giving them time to shred any documents

or destroy evidence.

-Are you ready? -I was born ready.

Then, c'mon, lets go.

Dirk, roll camera.

The plan is motion; This is the moment of truth

--a small group of people are attempting

to expose a high level government conspiracy,

and "In Focus" is there to make sure you see it all.

I'm Sandra Crescent, we're going in.

What's the matter you guys?

It's locked.

Let's try around back.

Doesn't look like anybody's home.

Hello, uninvited guests...

I'll check upstairs.

So where is everybody?

I don't know. Let's go check in here.

Maybe the lab isn't here in the house.

That is if it ever was here.

Do you think they knew we were coming?

No, not a chance. It's gotta be here somewhere.

Dirk, cut it.

Whatever you say, San.

Mind if I go out for a smoke?

Take your time.

Mr. Ryan, looks like your informant was wrong.

He wasn't.

That lab is on the island, we're going to find it.

Hey, pal, you're dealing with the government here.

They're not in the business of being stupid.

If there was security posted we wouldn't have been able

to walk in here like we did.

And besides,

I don't think we frightened these people off.

Oh, yeah. Who do you think did?

You got eyes just like me.

Take a look in the kitchen.

The food is half-eaten.

These people must be gone for at least two days.

Nobody's upstairs just a lot of unmade beds.

They left in mid sentence.

And I'm beginning to think we should do the same.

I think that's a very good idea.

Who are you?

Being that I have the gun,

I think I have the right to ask that question first.

We're with One Planet.

Oh, and, that gives you the right

to come barging in on private property.

Sorry, we didn't see any 'no trespassing' signs.

"Sorry" doesn't cut it.

If you'd checked your nautical charts you would

have known this quadrant was a military reserve

and off limits to civilians.

Look, miss...Ah...

--Richardson.

Miss Richardson, we'd be more than happy

to leave right now if you'll let us.

It's not in my hands, but if you've got a boat,

we all need to get off this island right away.

Why's that?

Is there something you don't want us to see?

If you stick around any longer, you'll see it alright.

I knew it.

Shut your yap, Ryan.

As I was saying, our skiff is down at the lagoon.

We can all be off this island directly.

No, Captain.

We didn't come all the way out here to tuck tail and leave.

I'd like to know more about this 'thing'

we're not supposed to see.

At the risk of your life and everyone else in this room,

I suggest we depart right now, sir.

Good, wise decision.

Hey, hey, hey!!!!!! Grab the camera!!!

Oh, my god, Dirk!!

Grab the camera!!!!

Oh, my god, Dirk!!

Hey, grab the camera!!!!

Oh, my god!!!!!

I hit it every time.

I swear it was like

the bullets didn't even phase it.

It's gonna take a lot more than a 38

to stop what's on this island.

Sir,

the intel photos from Isla Damas just came in over the satellite.

Good, let's see them.

Map guys get a look at these yet?

They're going over the other set right now.

No sign of anything unusual except for this

large mound here.

Looks like just a big rock to me.

I tend to agree, but the pilot who took

that photo swears on a Bible that rock was moving.

Have the planes go back in again with video this time.

Sir, getting a video sweep of that island

-from moving jets-- -Just do it.

I'll wait on further action until I can

determine exactly what's happened on that island.

Yes, sir.

This is Sandra Crescent again from Isla Damas,

where a scientific experiment has gone horribly wrong.

Why can't she do this from the boat?

Let's hope she wraps this up quick.

I knew something strange was going on here,

I just had no idea it was to this extent.

Why can't we just go home?

...inadvertently created horrid mutations--

one of which has already taken his life,

the lives of most of his crew as well

as my own cameraman and friend, Dirk Preston.

Ted, we need to get off this island now.

I'll get you off. It's going to be okay,

we're going to make it.

We have to tell the world what is going on here.

I just want to go home.

When "In Focus" returns, we'll speak with

Dr. Richardson's daughter, Susan,

the only surviving member on the scientific team--

That's it, taping's over!! We need cover now!!

Is that thing coming back?

No, something else. Now everybody follow me!

Hey, wait a minute, what about the house?

What's coming for us can run right through that house.

Now come on!!

Stop!!

Don't move!!!

Don't move a muscle.

Run!!!!

Darla!!!

No!

Get back!!

Open the door!!!!

Use this!!!!!

Elevator!!!

I want you to take it to the third level.

Come on let's go!!

This way!!!

Go ahead.

Damn it!! I knew this place existed.

Alright everybody, we're safe.

That creature can't get us down here.

Well I'm simply delighted about that, lady.

I only have one question... What the hell's going on here?

I'll second that.

It's like I told you all before. It's Project Carnivore;

secret government experimentson defenseless animals.

Well, they ain't defenseless anymore, bud.

Mind telling us what's going on.

You people weren't invited here

and I really have no obligation

to say anything to you.

That may be true, doctor,

but we just lost two crew members.

I think that deserves some form of explanation.

You're right, Captain. I'm sorry.

I never meant for this to happen,

and neither did my father.

Project Carnivore was not intended to create monsters.

We were here to develop a bio-catalyst to help increase

plant growth with elements of animal DNA.

At first, we were extremely successful

how's that?

Well, with the proper concentrated doses

of my father's isotopes,

we grew an entire acre of super corn within a week

...with enough food value to bake a million loaves of bread.

Yeah, we saw your handiwork on the way in here.

Believe me, it was just the beginning...

Dad, Dad.

Yeah, honey.

I can't believe it, the soil where we

first planted our crop they've retained

93 percent of its nutrients.

If we had 5,000 acres of this,

we could feed every single soul in the world.

You know, you sounded just like your mom just now.

I guess we can afford more than one optimist in the family.

You and I both know

that we have a lot more testing to do on this thing

before we spring it on to the rest of the world.

You ready for dog and pony show.

When's the General getting here?

I saw a chopper fly over.

He's probably halfway from the helipad.

I'll go tell the others in the lab.

Make sure they straighten their ties...

Go ahead honey, I'll be right there.

Sons of bitches.

Well, Doctor, I'd say congratulations are in order,

to my mind,

I'd say your experiments here an unqualified success.

Well...

Thank you, General.

But I have a funny feeling

that you didn't take that chopper out here

to pat me on the back, did ya?

No, that's true.

But I think you'll be happy to learn,

after due diligence at the Pentagon,

we've decided to expand your little operation here.

Really?

...how so?

For starters, we're thinking of tripling your funding.

And who do I have to murder to make that happen?

No one, although we're hoping some of your

discoveries could have military applications.

Military applications?

Let me see if I get this... Don't tell me...

You want me to mutate the matrix

so you can feed it to the enemy

and watch 'em blow up like birthday balloons.

Come on, General, I must be close?

Don't be ridiculous, Doctor.

You and I both know your growth matrix has potential

way beyond just food applications.

Sure, you mean like killing fellow human beings!

Dad.

It's alright honey.

General, I think I know where you're going here,

and frankly I'm not interested in taking the same path

...and neither is my crew.

I'm afraid you made this trip for nothing.

You have it all wrong, Doctor.

We're don't want you to make a super weapon or doomsday device.

All we want to do is explore

the potential of your growth matrix

on a couple living animals.

What kind of animals are we talking about, General?

Lieutenant.If you please.

For now, Doctor, you can start with this.

Despite my father's initial objections,

we went ahead and started the testing on several

king cobra snakes and komodo dragons.

That's an odd couple. Why not a dog and a cat?

Both creatures are amphibious and have

a high immunity to human diseases.

The Navy was hoping we could use their DNA

to create a vaccine that would not only make

troops immune to biological warfare,

but make them stronger and more agile as well.

Only something went wrong, didn't it?

Very.

We bombarded both animals for several months

but with no significant results.

Then one night last week, when Dr. Rhodes went out

to feed them, something happened.

Ahhhh!!!!

We tried calling for help,

but the short-wave radio tower was down

probably toppled by one of the creatures.

Dr. Michaels, our head engineer,

took his team up in our helicopter to fix it,

but they never returned.

The next morning, the komodo came back

looking for us.

Then what happened?

We scattered.

I can't vouch for everyone,

but my father and his assistant, Brian, didn't make it.

I came back to the bunker for safety

and to wait out the inevitable.

What do you mean 'inevitable?'

this was a top secret project

and a highly unstable one...

We were ordered to report every 24 hours

to Command Center at Pearl.

Sounds like you missed your deadline.

We're 36 hours past due.

It's only a matter of time before Washington

senses trouble and pulls the plug.

You mean fly in and chopper us out.

I was in the service...

The military's idea of 'pulling the plug'

doesn't mean they come in and rescue everybody.

That's correct.

More than likely they'll bomb this island out of existence.

Clean and simple,

the whole project sinks into obscurity.

Hey listen.

What's that sound?

It's jets.

Are we safe down here?

It's just reinforced concrete.

It all depends on what type of ordnance they use.

Did they do it?

No, we would have heard the explosions,

felt the shock waves.

Probably just a recon team.

Captain, let's get back to your boat

and get the hell off this island now.

Not going to be easy

with two hungry predators out there.

Those are just the two you've seen.

You mean there's more?

Depending on how they reacted to the matrix,

there could be ten, a dozen of each.

Each of them devouring

most of the other life on this island for sustenance.

I guess, that puts us next on the menu.

I ain't going.

Staying here. Staying here.

I'll take my chances.

Ted, Ted, Ted, you're not thinking straight

you stay here, you haven't got a chance.

He's right, Ted. You gotta come with us.

Why, so I can end up just like Darla!?

Listen, we're all sorry about what happened to your sister.

She was a beautiful person.

But, trust me, she'd want you to leave.

You stay here, you risk being buried alive.

As your friend, I can't let that happen.

Same page?

Same page.

Good, now let's get outta here.

I figure we got about four or five hours of daylight left.

If we hurry and don't run into any of your experiments,

we should make the boat by sundown.

Captain, my father kept some extra ammo upstairs

-in the house. -Great. I'm going to need it.

I don't know how good it's going to do us,

but I guess it's better than going empty handed.

I always feel more comfortable

with a loaded weapon in my hand,

know what I mean, Jerry?

Sir, video surveillance tape's arrived.

Good, let's take a look.

Oh, my god!

Sir, is that what I think it is?

Komodo dragons.

But the size, they're both as big as a house.

What the hell happened out there?

I don't know, but I can tell you with assurance

that Project Carnivore has gotten way out of hand.

Wait a minute...

Looks like a private yacht.

Yeah, or a fishing boat;

but what's it doing way out there?

I don't know, but I don't like it.

Do you think it might be lost?

No, I think it's trouble.

There might be someone on that island

trying to take that experiment.

If they are, they're in for a big surprise.

What should we do?

I'm going to give Richardson and his team

till noon tomorrow to check in.

And if they don't?

If they don't,

I want that entire island pulverized.

But, sir, we can't just leave them there

not knowing whether they're dead or alive.

Major, I don't want Project Carnivore

falling into the wrong hands.

So what about the boat?

Call Nelson on the Conroy.

Tell him I want that scow on the bottom by sundown.

Yes, sir.

So how much further do you think it is?

An hour, forty five minutes.

Depends on how fast we can go.

We should get a move on.

Don't get reckless.

A wrong move out here could be our last.

Fine.

Jerry, it's starting to get dark.

Relax, honey, we're close. We'll make it.

Need any help with that?

No thanks, I got it.

You know if we have to make a run for it,

I'd leave that camera equipment behind.

No way, not a chance.

This is career maker, right here.

Provided somebody sees it.

Oh, it'll get seen.

The moment we docks somewhere civilized,

this tape is going straight to the nearest broadcast station.

That tape's not gonna do you much good

if you're in the belly of one of those giants.

Shhh!!!

Did you hear that?

Oh, my god, Dr. Michaels!

Get me some water!

Here take this.

What happened to his face?

Jungle rot?

That ain't jungle rot.

Susan, where's your father?

He's gone. I'm the only one left.

Oh, my god.

Got to tell him, got to tell the world...

Tell him what?

What happened up there at the tower?

We arrived first thing in the morning

saw the tower was down on our fly by.

But thought we could fix it.

Henderson set us down a hundred yards away

in a clearing.

We'd just left the chopper, when it came at us.

Hankowski got it first.

The damn thing got him on the run.

Henderson tried to climb over the security gate,

he didn't make it.

I ran into the brush and escaped,

but I was covered with some sort of secretion.

My skin burned and peeled.

What do you think caused it?

It's got to be the saliva.

Saliva?

From the komodo.

Even at its normal size,

a komodo's saliva is highly toxic.

Who knows how powerful it could be in the giants?

We should have said no...

Should never have messed with nature.

Too high a price.

So Doctor, is what he had contagious?

No, it's not viral,

just be careful where you're walking.

God knows how much of that stuff is around.

How do we bury him?

We don't. It'll be dark soon,

we're running out of time.

You don't propose we just leave him here to rot, do you?

Ryan, he's biodegradable.

If you want to stay here and dig a grave,

then dig one for yourself as well.

Me, I want off this rockas soon as possible.

He's right, we have no time. Let's go.

Hey, there's the zodiac.

Yeah, just where we left it.

Let's go.

C'mon!!!

That's a nice vessel you have out there, Captain.

Yeah, and it never looked better to me.

-Son of a.... -Oh, no.

Holy crap!

What are we gonna do, now?

Run!!!!!

Oh, my god!!!

Run!!!!!!!

Ted!!!

Ted!!!

Ted, you gotta get outta there!!!!

C'mon, he's gone.

Forget it he's gone!!!

Run, run!!!!

Did you get what you wanted, Miss Crescent?

I hope you were right about the cold weather.

Don't worry. Amphibious creatures are cold blooded;

they need a lot of warmth to maintain their metabolisms.

They don't travel well at night.

And neither do we,

but tomorrow come sunrise,

we better figure something out before it's too late.

Like what?

Well, I suggest we build a raft.

That could take some time.

That would take quite a while;

we'd be open targets out there on the beach.

So what's your plan?

We hike back to the middle of the island,

find that helicopter

and I fly us out of here.

You're a pilot?

Seven years, Airborne Rangers, Persian Gulf War.

You saw what that guy looked like,

how do we know that monster

didn't destroy that chopper as well.

We don't-- but as far as I can see,

it's the only risk worth taking.

And I for one am gonna go for it.

Well you all can follow the Pied Piper if you want,

but if that chopper's out of commission, we're done.

And you saw what they did to that boat.

I'm sorry.

So what do we do now?

If I'd brought my guitar,

we could all sing "Kum Bai Ya."

"Lord, come with me." That's sure is appropriate.

Don't worry, we'll get out of this.

I'm going to get us some wood, build us a nice fire.

Jerry, c'mon, you can't be right about everything.

But it's just too big of a risk.

That-- thinks he knows it all... Well he doesn't.

I know, I know...

But we don't have the tools or the time

to build a raft for five people.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

Captain, you need any help?

Nah, there's not a dry stick in this whole jungle.

It's funny, the last time I sat around a campfire

was at a college beach party back in the States.

Must have been a good time.

It was.

No reality TV show can compare

with the horror and tragedy

that's befallen this remote spot

in the South Pacific.

If there ever was an island you'd want to be voted off,

it's this one.

I can only hope that fate lends a hand to save us.

We have already witnessed the gruesome deaths

of three of our meager crew.

What started off as a piece of entertainment news

has turned into a life and death struggle to survive.

Look, there's enough drift wood around here.

We could cut strips of our clothing and bind it together.

It may not hold forever, but at least we could try--

Jerry, Jerry, stop!

You saw what happened to Ted.

That thing could still be in the water.

We wouldn't have a chance.

What kind of chance are we taking trekking up

to the top of this island?

Jer, you've always said you trusted my intuition, right?

Yeah. I have.

Well, I believe that helicopter's there

and can get us to safety.

Okay...

Same page?

Yeah, same page.

You ever go to college?

Nah, straight from high school to boot camp.

What brought you all the way out here?

Got my discharge from Pearl,

and had no one to go home to in the States,

so I bought a fishing boat...

Lost a fishing boat...

Here I am.

Ah, the strong, silent type;

toting guns, tramping around the South Pacific.

A regular buccaneer!

All that's missing is the booze.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

You know, you remind me of a pirate.

Blackbeard?

No, Captain Kidd.

I'm only joking.

Oh, I didn't know beautiful lady scientists

came equipped with a sense of humor.

I think I would have gone crazy, if I didn't have one.

Yeah.

C'mon, we better get back.

...the monstrous behemoths you've seen on this tape

are not the creation of Hollywood effects wizards,

but living, breathing by-products of self-serving men

who have recklessly transgressed the boundaries of nature.

I only hope that this tape will be found

and hopefully prevent this type of heinous tragedy

from happening again.

I'm Sandra Crescent... Thank you.

Bravo, let's get some sleep.

Tomorrow's a big day.

Yes, General, I'll be here all night into tomorrow.

If anything happens,

I'll notify you and the President immediately.

Good-bye then.

What have you got?

Ship been destroyed, sir.

Infra-red showed no one was on board at the time.

And...?

You were right;

the boat was a private charter out of Bora Bora...

Owned and skippered by a man named Michael A. Stoddard.

What have you got on him?

Former Airborne Ranger, helicopter pilot,

honorably discharged in '98.

That doesn't sound like a spy or terrorist to me.

Or me, where does that leave us?

Start snooping around,

see if you can find out who chartered his boat.

That might give us a clue.

Sir, but...

But what?

Sir, if you don't mind me saying,

if there are U.S. civilians on that island,

we find out who they are before we start bombing them?

You mean like some nosy congressmen

or a team of newspeople.

It's a possibility, sir.

Frankly Major,

I don't care if all of Capitol Hill

took a vacation on that island,

I want it leveled by noon tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Okay, how far is it?

Up there, along the Mutari Escarpment,

my dad called it 'The Sleeping Giant."

Could be a three hour walk.

I'd say more like four or five if we're lucky.

We'll make it.

That's a mighty steep mountain.

How in the hell can you land a chopper up there anyway?

There's a plateau on the other side

about a thousand feet below the summit.

It's not hard to find.

Well, let's get going then.

Right. There's some dense foliage

along the beach here, we can travel it with

relative safety until we hit the fern grotto.

The river heads straight

to the north east face of the mountain.

Good.

Doctor, if you don't mind, I'll take the lead.

Fine with me, Captain.

Ryan,

if you gotta shoot one of those things,

make sure my back doesn't get in the way.

Don't worry, Captain, I'm with One Planet

and unfortunately, that includes you.

Well, there it is; That's the way up.

But what about the water?

Do we have to walk through it?

Looks like it.

But what if that snake's in there?

Yeah... there is that.

That would have woken him up.

Woke me up.

It looks shallow enough to cross here.

Put your backpacks over your heads

if you want to keep them dry.

And if you see me go under, that might be a clue to stop.

Ryan, it's starting to get deep out here,

keep the gun dry.

Whatever you say, bwana.

Owww!!!!

Jerry!! What's the matter?

My back's on fire!!!

Oh, my god!! Is it that snake?

No, I don't think so.

You gotta help him!!

I got to get outta here!!!!

Just get your asses up on shore ladies,

I'll get him.

Be careful.

Come on, I gotcha, come on.

We're almost there, come on.

Take it easy, take it easy.

What's there? What's wrong?

Oh my god, what are those things?

Leeches... but none like I've ever seen.

Doc, you got a lighter in there?

Hold it against the leach while I try to peel it off.

Hurry, please. I am starting to feel sick.

Ahhhh!!!!

Good, now the next.

Ahhhhhh!!!!

Quit your complaining, even a nature boy like you

can't be upset about killing a couple of slugs.

Now, it's just this.

What's that?

Damn good Irish whiskey, and believe me,

I hate wasting it.

What's it for?

Just give it a few moments, it'll take away the pain.

It's not working.

That's funny, it always works for me.

Listen, dab the wounds

it'll kill the bacteria.

He'll be alright.

Carrie, this is penicillin.

Make sure he takes it.

Thank you. Thank you, both.

Doc, anything on this island you didn't supersize?

Unfortunately, Captain the jungle is symbiotic;

a mosquito, insect or for that matter--

even a leech that feeds on one of those giants

may itself be affected by the new DNA matrix.

So you're saying that any small creature

that comes in close contact with these monsters

could itself become gigantic?

I think the leach proves that.

How long does it take?

The matrix levels

injected into the komodo and snake were direct,

and it took a couple weeks before they grew large.

Secondary exposure would be diluted,

but the infection rate could be exponential.

So eventually every life form on this island

will become mammoth size?

If their own DNA accepts the matrix, yes.

A seagull or fish gets a mouthful of this stuff,

it could spread all over the world.

Which is exactly why the military

won't hesitate destroying this entire island.

It may be too late already.

So Doc,

could I be infected too?

Possibly.

Too early to tell.

Would it have the same effect on a human being?

Unknown.

Ah, shoot.

Well Ryan, if the helicopter ain't there,

you can pick us up in your hands

and wade us back to Bora Bora.

Come on we got to keep moving.

Permission to speak freely, sir?

Granted.

Sir, I think, in light of what we now know,

we should send another extraction team

to retrieve those people before the bombing run.

Negative. It's too dangerous. I'm not losing another man.

But sir, if the media ever learns

that we deliberately wiped out a TV anchorwoman

and a team of environmentalists,

we'll have hell to pay.

If the media ever discovers we accidentally

created a horde of giant monsters,

there will be more than hell to pay.

Sir, they are human beings, innocent civilians.

Those people are trespassers on a U.S. military reserve;

probably dead already.

But what if there's an investigation?

I've already taken care of it,

Project Carnivore is in the ghost file with the UFOs.

And if anything ever does turn up,

I'll issue a letter of regret and our condolences

to their families.

Condolences?

Major, that's all.

Now, if you don't mind,

I want you to call Nelson on the Conroy

and tell him to start prepping those jets.

Bombing begins at 1200 hours.

Yes, sir, right away, sir.

Dismissed.

Guys,

hold up.

Jerry needs to rest.

Okay, let's take five minutes.

Doc, is there anything you can do for him?

How you doing?

Not so good.

Do you feel feverish?

Yeah, kinda dizzy.

Okay, I'm gonna have to give you

a bigger dose of penicillin this time.

Give me your arm. Turn your arm over.

Here ya go, okay?

Thanks.

How's he doing?

Not good.

I don't know what else to do for him.

You've done all you can.

Here, jer, drink this.

There's not that much left. You save it for yourself.

-No, you need it. -No, no stop.

Carrie, I'm sorry I brought you here.

I never meant for this to happen.

It was a horrible mistake.

No, Jerry,

you did what you thought was right thing.

And so did i--

that why I'm here--

'cause I believe in you.

I love you, Carrie.

How much further to the helicopter?

Not far,

probably another quarter mile from here.

Only problem is, it's a steep ascent to the plateau.

He's not going to make it.

He'll make it. I'll help him.

I hate to say it,

but the little bugger's startin' to grow on me.

You know Captain, you put on a great front;

but I think you're not as hard boiled

as you'd like us all to believe.

Well, it's not easy bein' an ass-- all the time.

C'mon, Ryan, we got a flight to catch.

Thanks, Captain.

Conroy, this is Able One, Able One, do you read?

Reading you, Able One.

We are approximately 100 kilometers from target

estimated time to strike is approximately 20 minutes.

Well, we made it.

Help me set him down over here.

Over here!!!!!

We did it, we are going home.

You think it's okay?

Looks in good order from here, but who knows?

Let me go back and get Ryan and we'll head over.

Do you need any help?

No, stay here.

-Keep a lookout. -Okay.

Is the helicopter there?

Yeah, not more than a hundred yards.

Thank god. Do you think it'll fly?

Here's hoping, sweetheart. Help me get him up.

I'm not dead yet. I can make it.

After nearly 36 grueling hours of terror,

our perilous ordeal here

on the forbidden island of Isla Damas

is about to come to an end--

What are you doing?!! I'm not done yet!

Yes, you are.

You can finish your story once were back to civilization.

Now, c'mon.

Captain, we have a problem.

-Now what? -The komodo... It's back.

Where?

This way. Stay low.

Can it see us?

No, but it can smell us... That's why it came here.

Can't it find food somewhere else?

At this point we're the only food left.

So what do we do?

We should go around.

It's going right for the chopper.

Probably smells human scent there.

If it as much as nicks one of those blades,

we're cooked.

I'm telling you, we should go around.

It won't see us.

Well what the hell do you think it's gonna do

when I fire up that engine, go away?

Maybe if we wait long enough, it'll just leave.

And what if doesn't?

Then we got to figure a way of distracting it.

How do we do that?

I wish I knew.

What now? Did it pick up our scent?

I can't be sure, but it senses something.

Probably pretty close.

We may have to wait a long time.

We haven't got a long time.

You saw what happened to that boat.

I'm surprised they haven't started bombing already.

Jerry? Jerry? You guys, Jerry's missing.

Hey, over here!!!!

C'mon and get me you worthless reptile!!!

Over here!!!!

C'mon and get me.

Come here, that's it!!!!!

Stupid fool.

Wait here, wait here.

Jerry, Jerry, go back!!!!

Get to the chopper now!!!

Jerry !!! Look out behind you!!

No, Jerry!!!!

Oh, my god, Jerry!!!

Get in!!!

Come on!!!!

It's not turning over!!!

Is there gas in it?!!

The gauge is three quarters full.

Oh, my god!!!

Come on!!!!!

Wait here.

What are you doing?

Okay, ladies, last chance. Cross your fingers.

Ahhhhh!!!!

Come on!!!

Yes!

Stoddard, you are good.

All right ladies, hang on, we're taking off.

Sir?

Yes.

They made it out alive.

Some of them anyway.

How?

Did you hear it from the Conroy?

No, sir, it's on the news.

The news?

Every channel.

I'll prepare a statement for you.

Yes, Major, do that.
