[birds chirping]

[growling softly]

[intense growl]

You fucking warped it.

Now we're never getting off this island alive.

Don't.

Keep your fucking voice down.

[growling]

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Go, go, go, go.

[groans]

Come on, man.

Pick up.

Hey, man, maybe we should get out of here.

I don't know about this.

Fuck it.

Stop.

No, Tom.

Tom.

Tom, wait.

[grunts]

Oh, this fucking guy.

[groaning]

Yeah, nothing much.

Just taking some crap out.

You know how it is.

Come on, really?

Really?

You think that's going to stop me.

Come on.

No way.

That's part of me, man.

Oh, no.

It's fine.

What is that smell?

Jesus Christ.

Shoot it, man.

Shoot it.

Shoot it.

I got it.

I got it.

God.

Are you getting this?

Yeah, I'm getting it, man.

No way, man.

I've tried those apps before.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They don't work for me.

The last time there was a total catfish.

Yeah, I'm telling you.

Hey, are you getting this?

Yeah, I'm totally getting this.

Look at this.

Oh.

[apes squealing]

Man, don't do that, huh?

I know what I'm doing, man.

[apes squealing]

[screaming]

[alarm ringing]

Charles.

Charles, it's happened.

What?

Yeah, Dorothy.

She's loose.

Really?

That's what the American contact's saying.

You knew this could happen.

It looks like a kidnapping.

She's left the island.

She's headed for America.

This is the danger of mixing the growth hormones.

It's the end of humanity.

All right.

I can't be using this anymore.

Right.

I'm going to go check the rations.

Yeah, yeah, good idea.

Told them.

I told them.

Didn't listen to me, but we're the ones who are ready.

We're the ones who made preparations.

Yes, we're ready for the lockdown and anything

that giant ape's going to throw at us.

Yes, bring it on.

Hey.

It's good to hear your voice.

Look, listen.

Yes.

Yeah, that's-- Look, I know you don't believe me,

but just hear me out, OK?

Please listen to me.

This is serious.

Look, it's today.

It's happening today, right now.

Look, in the nicest way, I don't care what you've got planned.

Look, please, please, just listen to me

and please stay at home, OK?

Look, it doesn't matter what you've got planned,

what you've got booked.

You can just leave it for today and just go back to it

tomorrow.

Look, I just want you to be safe, OK?

Yeah.

Look, I wouldn't be calling you like this

if it wasn't for real, if I didn't know

100% that it was happening.

Yeah.

Yeah, I just want you to be safe.

OK.

Thank you.

I love you.

Yeah, I know.

Well, I've said enough.

OK.

Bye.

Man, don't do that, huh?

I know what I'm doing, man.

Tom.

Tom.

Mayor, We have a big problem.

What problem, doctor?

Last night after lockup in the lab,

there was a security breach.

Those two nimrods from 1007 snuck in when

the guard was doing his rounds.

So what?

We have nothing to hide.

Listen, there are three other animal facilities

right now in this city.

Public is bored with it.

Sir, one of them was attacked and killed.

And Dorothy is missing.

That sexy, little receptionist?

I knew she wouldn't last long.

The ape, sir.

What?

Why wasn't I notified sooner?

We have a media blackout until the ape is apprehended.

These experiments are highly controversial.

If any information about what we've been doing should leak,

we'll lose our remaining funding for sure.

When was the last injection given?

It was just before I left last night.

I was supposed to transfer her to her living park

this morning.

She'll be 10 times her natural size in, oh, my god,

less than 12 hours from now.

OK, OK.

Let me handle this.

I know just who to call.

Thank you, mayor.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[muttering]

Here's your tea.

There's no way they're going to be able to control this.

No?

It's going to be 141 times the size of it was.

What?

Dorothy is going to grow to 141 times the size.

They've got no idea what they've done.

It's going to be--

going to be huge.

It's not looking good.

That's for sure.

What are the Americans saying?

Nothing from the Americans yet.

Well, they won't be long because it's happening today.

Today?

Today.

It should have been me, goddammit.

It should've been me.

Oh, Tom.

Tom.

Goddammit, Tom.

Motherfucker.

[repetitive engine cranking]

The hell.

God damn battery again.

[phone alert tone]

Seriously?

Of course.

What the hell is that?

[screams]

[growling]

And you're saying that's when it escaped?

Yes, sir.

I was actually on my way back in to close and lock up

for the night, and that's when I heard those screams,

so I called you guys for backup.

Well, I think we're done here.

We'll contact you if we have any more questions.

OK, cool.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

Oh, oh, what about the ape?

I'm sure it's going to turn up.

A wild monkey isn't going to go unnoticed for long

in this town.

I do know that much.

Good to hear.

Good to hear.

Oh, by the way, tell the wife I said hey.

Get out of here.

You know she's taken.

[laughing]

All right, see you around.

All right, bud.

Hey, Janet.

Hey, let me know if any reports come

in about a monkey on the loose.

Yeah, a monkey.

Thanks, Janet.

Mondays.

I get what you're saying, but listen,

this isn't going to be cheap.

I can't guarantee he's going to be alive afterwards.

Uh-huh.

All right.

Well, I'll notify you when it's done.

Yes.

Get me the president.

[stumping]

[growls]

Dude, I told you I heard something.

Do you think it's that fucking ape?

No, that's fake news, man.

[laughs]

[distant growl]

Then how do you explain that?

Should we go check it out?

Dude, haven't you ever seen a horror movie before?

What are you talking about?

We're totally the two stoners who die off early in the movie

because we're too fucked up to make rational decisions.

Yeah, but this isn't a movie and you're way too high.

[laughs]

[phone ringing]

Dude, she's on your dick 24/7.

I know.

Tell me about it.

[growl]

Shit, dude.

I don't think this is a good idea.

You really think there's a 10-story ape running around

here?

Well, maybe not 10 stories, but there's

got to be some truth to the story, right?

[intense growling]

Run.

[stumping]

[screams]

Yes, sir.

Sir, it's all under control.

Sir, I assure you there's no need for all that.

I-- Hello?

Mr. President, are you still there?

Dear Lord, what have I done?

If she isn't stopped immediately,

she'll be too big to contain.

This whole thing is a--

this whole thing is a total disaster.

Yeah, that is the spot right there.

[upbeat music playing]

[phone chimes]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm Brock Stephens with a breaking news story.

Joining me in our studio is our lead investigative reporter

Michael Breymore.

Michael, what can you share with viewers about this very

disturbing matter?

[sighs]

This is for you, buddy.

I love you.

I wish it was me.

Damn it!

What a new story.

Last night our own Tom Goodwin was on location following

a lead when he was brutally attacked and killed

by what several witnesses believe

to be an ape of some sort at the Sylmar-based, controversial

animal testing site owned by Gen Life.

It was last seen heading towards the Los Angeles forest.

We've learned that social media has already

exploded with the hashtag #SaveTheApe

after information was leaked regarding an experimental

and highly controversial growth hormone that was reportedly

injected in the ape routinely since birth.

Rumors persist that the drug may have

had side effects that alters the genes that determine gender.

I knew it!

Keep watching for all the latest updates involving the mega ape.

[breathing heavily]

That didn't take long.

Oh, no.

No.

Apes consume an almost exclusive all-fruit diet.

However, from time to time, occasionally they

do eat the other primates.

What would make an ape eat a person?

Almost always due to a change in environment.

In this case, she's lost in the city,

can't locate any fruit to eat.

Something that size she'll be hungry again soon.

We're going to have to stop her before it's too late.

Well, they thrive in tropical climates.

But like us humans, they prefer to rest in the shade.

If I were you, I would search out any large, dense forest

area.

The Los Angeles forest might be a good place to start.

That's a great idea.

Thank you for your wisdom, sir.

I sure hope you're right.

Good luck.

[phone chimes]

Hey, are you super excited about our hike in the woods?

Oh, yeah.

Can't wait to get out in the greenery.

You're so pretty.

[giggles]

Thank you.

There she is.

Did I ever tell you I hate the outdoors?

Did I ever tell you I hate complaining?

This is going to be a long day.

Who the hell is that?

I think he's a ranger.

Hello there, I'm Ranger Roger.

What are you kids doing out here?

Going for a hike.

A hike, huh?

You kids wouldn't be doing drugs out here, would you?

No, sir.

Not us.

We're Republicans.

Well, that's good because at this park

we only have three rules, no drugs, no fires, and have fun.

Well, we certainly plan on doing the latter, Ranger Roger.

Call me sir.

Thank you, Sir Ranger Roger.

All right, all right.

You kids get out of here.

Thank you.

Hey!

No monkey business, you two.

I'm telling you, honey, this is going

to be the best hike you've ever been on.

I guarantee it.

Oh, really?

What do I get if it's not?

Well, you can spank me.

[chuckles]

Oh, great.

You don't have to film yourself climbing.

Maybe you should put your phone away while you climb.

And deprive our audience of this amazing climbing?

[chuckles]

I don't exactly know what you expected to do with the tree

once you got it.

Is this where you take all your girlfriends?

Just the pretty ones.

[giggles]

Sure.

[growling]

Gary, did you hear that?

Yeah, it's called an airplane.

No, not that.

It sound like a growl.

Yeah, it's my tum-tum.

Gary, I'm serious.

I'm serious too.

I'm hungry.

Gary, these are so creepy.

Oh, come on.

It's all in good fun.

I guess so.

Just a fun start.

Always leaving me behind.

[growling]

What the fuck was that?

Run!

Run!

Go!

[growling]

Honey.

Gary!

Gary, come on!

Come back.

Look out!

Look out!

Come back.

Look out!

At least I'm certain.

Let's send the National Guard now.

[phone chimes]

Gary, come on!

Come back.

Look out!

Look out!

Come back.

Look out!

[growling on video]

God.

[phone chimes]

God.

[growl]

Oh.

Hey, Jessie.

Can you watch the phone?

I'm going to take an early lunch.

You got it, girl.

[distant stumping]

This is definitely ape country.

Come on.

This is going to work.

I know.

So excited as my eighth creation is going to work.

And the left eye will be read like a demon.

Yes.

[mutters]

I swear if he's with that bitch again, I'll kill him.

[growling]

Holy fuck.

Now that's one mega-sized ape.

[laughs]

Listen up, monkey fucker.

I've got something that no ape can escape, hard lead.

[intense growling]

[screaming]

Ha, Got you now, you bastard.

Yesterday my cup was all full.

Today, totally empty.

Oh, thank you for letting me know.

Yes.

Yes.

Soon they'll all be behind us.

Sir.

Yeah.

How can it be an adventure?

An adventure?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, an adventure sounds fun, but getting lost out here

in the woods in this heat, not really.

You're such a baby.

Well, I learned from the biggest one.

What's that over there?

Hun.

Got you.

You really suck.

You know that?

Aw, that's why you love me, right?

Well, I mean, this is why you love me.

That's a little more like it.

[stumping]

[yells]

Oh, sh--

[stumping, growling]

[screams]

Got you now, bastard.

[stumping]

[growl]

[screams]

Is there any news?

Yes.

It's Dorothy.

She's tearing through Hollywood right now.

I knew it.

She's getting bigger, but there's

no reports of gigantism affecting

anyone or anything else.

Yeah, but they will.

You, trust me.

I know what's going to happen.

It'll just take a bit of time, but it'll spread.

Slowly but surely, it'll spread.

But there's no evidence to suggest that it is affecting

anyone or anything else. its--

Well, it's just a matter of time.

Don't worry.

We've got this sorted.

We'll stick to the plan.

We've got plenty of provisions.

Everything will be just fine.

Right.

Well, if we're going to hunker down,

then I need to get my partner here.

She has to be safe.

What?

No, that's the worst idea possible.

Haven't you looked at my equations?

But there's nothing to suggest that that's happened yet.

But it will.

I've been right every time so far.

No one thought Dorothy would become this gigantic beast

that she's become.

No one believed me.

But now look.

And this will be the same.

Look, don't panic.

We've got this.

We've got a plan.

We've got provisions.

It'll be OK.

We'll be safe.

What now?

It's OK.

We knew this kind of thing would happen.

We go to plan B. Well, get the candles.

Yeah.

OK.

It'll be OK.

It's just you and me now.

I must sit here in the dark because of him eating beans?

Keeps telling me, oh, trust me.

Trust me.

Trust my science.

Yeah, we'll see how good your science is.

Can't trust this guy as far as I could throw him.

I know what he's thinking.

He's thinking about her again, isn't he?

He's going to get us into trouble.

I know he is.

He's going to let her in.

We'll all be gigantic then, won't we?

Yes.

I better not be stuck here and unable to get to her.

I'm not going to let him keep me from her.

If I have to leave this place to go and keep her safe,

that's exactly what I'll do.

Doesn't matter what he thinks.

Look at him.

He's crazy.

Trust his science.

I can't even trust him.

But he's mad.

I bet none of this will come to pass.

How dare you doubt my equations?

I know what I've been researching.

I know what I'm doing.

You have no clue.

I know how big that ape will get, and it'll spread.

We'll be all kinds of gigantic creatures all over the place,

then he'll feel stupid, won't he?

Yes.

Yes.

This is it.

I'm not going to put up with his selfish, self-serving science

anymore.

How dare we think about her all the time?

Oh, it makes me so mad.

He only thinks about himself.

I don't trust him.

He's going to get me killed.

He's going to get us all killed.

I can't trust him.

[growls]

Follow that ape.

I'm on it.

Yeah, there's evidence of it happening before.

Oh, my god.

Hey, Liz.

How are you doing?

You OK, yeah?

Good.

So-- What do you mean?

Right.

But you've seen the reports of Dorothy?

I understand that.

But look, if he was right about--

What are you doing?

Get off the phone!

Look, Liz.

Look, if he was right about Dorothy,

the chances are he's right about the other stuff, OK?

All right.

Look, I've got to go now.

Come on.

I love you.

Are you mad?

What?

You're using up the resources.

I wasn't using the resources.

Liz called me.

I was-- Look.

I was looking at information.

You're using the battery up.

We've got no power.

This is a catastrophe as you could draw her to us.

She could have the gigantism right now.

I hate to break it to you, but there

has been no one who's been affected by gigantism

in this country or in America.

It's just Dorothy.

I've done my work.

My research has been explicitly correct every single time

so far, so don't go doubting me now.

Look, I'm not doubting you about Dorothy.

I'm doubting you about the gigantism affecting people.

It's not.

So far, it hasn't.

It will do.

But that doesn't seem to--

that doesn't seem to be any inclination that it will do.

It doesn't seem like it's going to spread.

Not yet, but it will.

I've done my work.

My equations make it absolutely clear.

Things will start to become big as soon as they

come in contact with Dorothy.

But they're not.

And I'm stuck here.

I can't get to my partner.

I just want to make sure that she's safe.

I want to be with her.

Well, eventually you'll get to be with her, but not

by wasting the resources.

We're running out of candles.

Yeah, and that's another thing.

Why is the electric gone?

If things are not being affected the way you said they would be,

it doesn't make any sense that the power's gone out.

Why are we sat here using candles?

I don't know.

I paid the bill.

Did you?

Did you check the fuse?

Fine.

Hello, I'm Brock Stevens along with reporter Michael Breymore.

We interrupt this broadcast to bring

you live to the scene of a showdown between what

has been dubbed the mega ape and the National Guard.

[helicopter whirring]

[growling]

We got him.

Target locked.

What she deserves.

[gunfire]

Missile launch.

3, 2, 1.

Oh, fuck!

[cheering]

[growl]

[phone rings]

Yeah.

Mayor, I hope it's good news.

The ape is dead.

Dead?

What happened?

You killed her, didn't you?

Look, the main thing is the city is safe.

So you just sweep this one under the rug, right?

What about the other lives that were lost?

Collateral damage.

Mayor, don't hang up!

Mayor!

Mayor, hello!

[muttering]

Goddammit!

It's going to work.

I know it.

[making ape sounds]

They lack patience.

You wouldn't know what we've lost.

Screw you.

Screw death!

[growls]

[breathing heavily]

[screams]

[growling]

[metallic music]

Holy fucking shit.

Now that's one mega-sized ape.

[laughs]

Do it one more time for safety.

Yeah.

And action.

Holy fucking shit.

[laughs]

Now that's one mega-sized ape.

[laughs]

Got it.

Awesome.
