THEY'RE WATCHING YOU.

MORE THAN 4,000 SATELLITES
CIRCLE THE EARTH.

EVERY DAY, THEY UNCOVER NEW,
MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENA

THAT DEFY EXPLANATION.

[ BEEPING, DISTORTED MUSIC ]

MONSTERS FROM A LOST
JURASSIC JUNGLE...

COULD A PREHISTORIC CREATURE
STILL BE ALIVE

AND FLYING AROUND?

Narrator:
...STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY

AND A GHOST TOWN THAT RISES
FROM THE WATER...

THERE ARE NO PEOPLE. SOMETHING
HORRIBLE HAPPENED HERE.

Narrator:
...THE TERROR FROM THE DEEP...

Kourounis: SOMETHING IS CREATING
THIS VORTEX ON THE SURFACE

OF THE BALTIC SEA.

WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?

Narrator: ...AND KILLER MONSTERS
THE SCIENTISTS CAN'T STOP.

THEIR BABIES LITERALLY EMERGE
FROM THE HUSK

OF THEIR DEAD BODIES.

BAFFLING PHENOMENA.

2012, THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION

PASSING OVER SOUTH AMERICA
PHOTOGRAPHS

A LARGE LAKE 300 MILES SOUTHWEST
OF BUENOS AIRES,

NOTHING UNUSUAL,

BUT WHEN A SATELLITE CAPTURES
THE SAME LAKE THREE YEARS LATER,

SOMETHING HAS RISEN
FROM THE WAVES, A GHOST TOWN.

REMEMBER WHAT NEW ORLEANS LOOKED
LIKE AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA?

THAT'S WHAT I SEE HERE.

**

Narrator:
MIKE PAVELEC IS A HISTORIAN

AND MILITARY SPECIALIST,

PRACTICED IN ANALYZING
SCENES OF DEVASTATION.

THIS IMAGE IMMEDIATELY
RAISES THE QUESTIONS OF

WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS TOWN?

Narrator:
PAVELEC CAN ONLY TELL SO MUCH
FROM THE SATELLITE IMAGE.

HE FLIES 4,000 MILES
TO BUENOS AIRES,

THEN JOURNEYS SOUTH TO INSPECT

THE MYSTERIOUS
GHOST TOWN UP CLOSE.

**

AS PAVELEC NEARS THE LAKE,
THE LANDSCAPE CHANGES.

**

Pavelec: IT'S EERIE.

IT REMINDS ME OF SOME
OF THE PLACES

THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE OLD WEST
IN THE UNITED STATES,

THE GHOST TOWNS,
THE ABANDONED MINES.

**

Narrator: ON THE EDGE OF TOWN,

PAVELEC ASSESSES
THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

**

Pavelec: IT'S ONE THING TO LOOK
AT THE SATELLITE PHOTOS,

BUT TO ACTUALLY SEE IT
ON THE GROUND, JUST DEVASTATING.

**

Narrator:
LIKE A VISION OF THE APOCALYPSE,

IT'S ALL THAT'S LEFT
OF A TOWN CALLED EPECUéN.

THE HOUSES ARE
COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

THE TREES ARE ALL DEAD.

Narrator: PAVELEC CONFIRMS
WHATEVER HAPPENED HERE,

THE DESTRUCTION WAS TOTAL.

Pavelec:
THERE'S VERY LITTLE WILDLIFE.

THERE ARE NO PEOPLE.

SOMETHING HORRIBLE
HAPPENED HERE.

IT COMPLETELY JUST WIPED OUT
THIS ENTIRE TOWNSITE.

Narrator: PAVELEC NOTICES
SOMETHING AMONG THE DEVASTATION

HE DOESN'T NORMALLY SEE
IN DISASTER ZONES.

THE RUINS ARE COVERED
IN A FINE WHITE POWDER.

**

HE ARRANGES TO MEET
A LOCAL TRANSLATOR

TO HELP HIM MAKE INQUIRIES.

GISHA.
MIKE.

COME ON IN.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GISHA LONGEE SUSPECTS
PEOPLE LIVING LOCALLY

MAY PROVIDE PAVELEC
WITH CLUES.

THE NEAREST INHABITED VILLAGE
TO THE RUINS IS CARHUé,

AND THAT'S WHERE
THEY HEAD NEXT.

Pavelec: GISHA HAS MADE
AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL

WHO HOPEFULLY CAN SHED A LITTLE
BIT OF LIGHT ON THIS MYSTERY.

Narrator: ACCORDING TO GISHA,

THE STRANGE EVENTS
SURROUNDING THE DESTRUCTION

OF THE TOWN
REMAIN CONTROVERSIAL.

**

LAWYER EZEKIEL ENCINAS BASO...

IS COLLECTING TESTIMONY
FROM THE EPECUéN TOWNSFOLK

WHO FLED THE DISASTER IN TERROR.

**

BASO REVEALS SOME RESIDENTS

TELL OF STRANGE
FLASHING LIGHTS OVER THE WATER

AROUND THE TIME
OF THE TOWN'S DESTRUCTION.

[ SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]

HE TELLS PAVELEC THE APPEARANCE
OF THE MYSTERY LIGHTS

COINCIDES WITH A TERRIBLE FLOOD
THAT ENGULFS EPECUéN,

DESTROYING IT COMPLETELY.

**

FROM THE LOOK OF THE RUINS,
PAVELEC SUSPECTS

THAT A CATASTROPHIC GEOLOGICAL
EVENT WAS RESPONSIBLE,

BUT HE'S BAFFLED
BY THE DESCRIPTION

OF STRANGE FLASHING LIGHTS.

**

HE VIDEO-CALLS GEOLOGIST
ALAN LESTER.

[ COMPUTER BEEPS ]

A LOT OF THE LOCALS
MENTIONED LIGHTS

IN THE SKY
DURING THIS EVENT.

THAT IS CERTAINLY
STRANGE-SOUNDING.

WELL, THERE'S A RARE PHENOMENON
THAT'S REFERRED TO AS "E.Q.L.,"

OR EARTHQUAKE LIGHTS.

Narrator:
DURING SOME EARTHQUAKES,

WITNESSES REPORT
FLASHES OF BRIGHT LIGHT

COMING FROM THE GROUND.

SCIENTISTS ARE STILL
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND

WHAT FORCES COULD TRIGGER
EARTHQUAKE LIGHTS.

OKAY, BUT STILL WITHIN THE REALM
OF SCIENCE OR ON THE FRINGES?

WELL, IT'S HARD
TO PROVE IT.

MAYBE THE ENORMOUS FORCES
ASSOCIATED WITH SEISMIC ACTIVITY

COULD GENERATE HEAT
OR ELECTRICITY

PROPAGATING UP
INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

ARE EARTHQUAKES SOMETHING THAT
WE COULD EXPECT HERE?

WELL, I MEAN,
THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

IT'S JUST NOT
THE RIGHT PLACE.

Narrator: PAVELEC EXAMINES
THE SATELLITE IMAGERY.

THE TOWN OF EPECUéN IS MILES
FROM ANY FAULT LINE,

AND GEOLOGISTS HAVE NO RECORD
OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY

AROUND THE TIME OF THE FLOOD.

I'M GOING TO
KEEP LOOKING,

SEE IF I CAN FIND
A RATIONAL EXPLANATION

FOR WHAT'S GOING
ON AROUND HERE.

SEE YOU, MIKE.

THANKS A LOT.
TAKE CARE.

Narrator: PAVELEC LEARNS
FROM HIS TRANSLATOR

THAT AN INDIGENOUS TRIBE
CALLED THE MAPUCHE

STILL LIVES
ON THE EDGE OF THE RUINS.

**

THEY CLAIM THE LAKE
HAS STRANGE, MAGICAL POWERS.

**

CAN THE BELIEFS OF THE MAPUCHE
EXPLAIN THE FLASHING LIGHTS

VISIBLE AS THE TOWN
WAS DESTROYED?

[ SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]

SO, THIS THIS PLACE
HAS ALWAYS BEEN

REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT,
SACRED IN THE SPIRITUAL TERMS,

FOR THE MAPUCHE PEOPLE.

Narrator: THE MAPUCHE TELL
PAVELEC THEY BELIEVE THIS LAKE

HAS SPECIAL HEALING PROPERTIES.

[ SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]

Narrator:
PAVELEC DISCOVERS THIS LAKE

CONTAINS 10 TIMES
MORE SALT PER CUBIC INCH

THAN FOUND IN ANY
OF THE WORLD'S OCEANS.

THE WATER IS HOT AND SALTY,
AND IF YOU ARE IN THE WATER

AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, IT WILL
START TO COLOR WHITE YOUR SKIN,

AND THAT'S THE AMOUNT
OF SALT THAT IT HAS.

**

YES, EXTREMELY SALTY.

Narrator: THE LAKE'S
INTENSE SALTINESS WOULD ACCOUNT

FOR THE GHOSTLY WHITE POWDER

SHROUDING THE RUINS

AND PERHAPS FOR
ITS REPORTED HEALING POWERS,

BUT THE MAPUCHE BELIEVE
THAT SOMETHING OTHERWORLDLY

IS GOING ON WITH THESE WATERS.

THE MAPUCHE SAY THEIR ELDERS
PREDICTED THE TOWN'S DEMISE

AND EVEN WARNED
THE INHABITANTS.

THE ARGENTINEAN SETTLERS
DISMISSED THE WARNINGS

FROM THE MAPUCHE ELDERS
AS MERE SUPERSTITION,

AND FOR THIS,
THEY PAY THE PRICE.

**

COMING UP, AN ENORMOUS
DEADLY GREEN VORTEX...

SOMETHING IS CHURNING THE ENTIRE
BALTIC INTO THIS WHIRLPOOL.

Narrator:
...AND PAVELEC EXPLORES
IF ANCIENT FOLKLORE HOLDS

THE ANSWERS TO
HIS ARGENTINEAN LAKE MYSTERY.

ONE OF THE LOCAL LEGENDS IS THAT
THE LAKE CONTAINS A SPIRIT

THAT HAS TO BE APPEASED.

**

Narrator: IN ARGENTINA, A LOST
TOWN EMERGES FROM LAKE EPECUéN.

HISTORIAN MIKE PAVELEC
LEARNS OF A MYSTERIOUS FLOOD

AND UNEXPLAINED LIGHTS SHOOTING
FROM THE WATER'S SURFACE.

**

HIS INVESTIGATION LEADS HIM
TO THE LOCAL MAPUCHE TRIBE.

THEY HAVE THEIR OWN
INTERPRETATION OF THE DISASTER,

ONE THAT'S FOUNDED
ON THEIR ANCIENT BELIEFS.

ONE OF THE LOCAL LEGENDS HERE IS
THAT THE LAKE CONTAINS A SPIRIT

THAT HAS TO BE APPEASED

AND THAT IF YOU TAKE SOMETHING
FROM THE LAKE,

FISH OR WHAT HAVE YOU,

AND YOU DON'T MAKE
A PROPER OFFERING,

THE LAKE WILL ACTUALLY FLOOD
AND CAUSE GREAT DEVASTATION.

**

Narrator: PAVELEC HAS HEARD
ONE EXPLANATION

THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN THE FLOOD.

ACCORDING TO LOCAL LEGENDS,

THE SPIRITS OF THE LAKE
HAD BEEN ANGERED,

BUT HIS SEARCH
FOR TANGIBLE EVIDENCE

TO EXPLAIN THE MYSTERIOUS
FLASHES OF LIGHT CONTINUES.

Pavelec: WE'VE HEARD LOTS
OF EXPLANATIONS AND THEORIES,

BUT I'M A HISTORIAN.
I WANT TO HIT THE ARCHIVES.

I WANT TO LOOK
AT THE REAL DOCUMENTS --

THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND THE REPORTS
FROM WHAT HAPPENED.

**

AT THE LOCAL TOWN LIBRARY,
PAVELEC UNCOVERS

THE ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC REPORTS.

THEY DESCRIBE A SHOCKING FLOOD
ATTRIBUTED TO A FREAK OF NATURE.

THE EXPLANATION WAS THAT
IT WAS A SEICHE,

WHICH IS A WATER EVENT
IN SHALLOW LAKES

WHERE HEAVY RAINS PLUS WINDS
CAN CAUSE A VIOLENT MOTION

WHERE WAVES CAN RESONATE
AND GET EVEN BIGGER THAN USUAL.

IT'S SORT OF LIKE JUST
A BIG WAVE IN A BATHTUB,

JUST BACK AND FORTH.

**

BUT TO CREATE A SEICHE,
YOU NEED SOME SORT OF A FORCE.

YOU NEED AN IMPACT
OR A LANDSLIDE.

Narrator: PAVELEC RETURNS
TO THE DOCUMENTS,

BUT CAN FIND NO REPORTS
OF LANDSLIDES BEFORE THE FLOOD.

**

THE MYSTERY DEEPENS WHEN HE
DISCOVERS A CONSTRUCTION REPORT

MENTIONING A SMALL DAM BUILT
BY THE ARGENTINEAN GOVERNMENT

ONLY A FEW YEARS
BEFORE THE FLOOD.

IT SEEMS AS IF THE DAM WAS
BUILT UP TO PROTECT THE TOWN

BECAUSE IT WAS LITERALLY
RIGHT UP AGAINST THE LAKE.

Narrator:
PAVELEC KNOWS THE DAM FAILS.

TO FIND OUT WHY, HE NEEDS
TO TRACK DOWN SURVIVORS

WHO COULD'VE WITNESSED
THE TERRIFYING MOMENTS

OF THE DAM BREAKING.

HE RETURNS
TO THE SATELLITE IMAGE

AND IDENTIFIES HIGHER GROUND
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN

WITH SOME POSSIBLE
SIGNS OF LIFE.

**

WHEN PAVELEC INVESTIGATES,
HE FINDS BUILDINGS AND RUINS,

DAMAGED BUT NOT ABANDONED.

**

AMONG THE RUINS,
A SOLITARY SURVIVOR,

85-YEAR-OLD PABLO NOVAC.

PAVELEC HOPES HE'S A WITNESS

TO THE DAM FAILING

JUST BEFORE THE FLOOD.

WHAT WAS THE REASON
FOR THE FLOODING?

[ SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]

Narrator: PABLO HIGHLIGHTS
A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE DAM.

AFTER ITS COMPLETION,
THE TOWN IS BATTERED

BY UNPRECEDENTED WINTER RAIN
FOR THREE STRAIGHT YEARS.

THE RAIN'S INTENSITY
IS ON A SCALE

THE PEOPLE OF EPECUéN
HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED.

BUT THE DAM IS NEITHER
MAINTAINED NOR REINFORCED

TO HANDLE THE RECORD RAINFALL.

THAT STARTS CAUSING PROBLEMS,
SO WHEN THAT HAPPENED,

IT'S LIKE THE WATER

WAS INCREASING THE LEVEL
BECAUSE OF THE RAIN,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
IT COULDN'T GET OUT.

ON THE 10th OF NOVEMBER 1985,

UNDER THE PRESSURE OF MILLIONS
OF GALLONS OF WATER...

**

...THE DAM BEGINS TO COLLAPSE.

AT SHOCKING SPEED, THE TOWN
IS ENGULFED, EVERYTHING LOST.

PAVELEC DISCOVERS THIS IS
NO SIMPLE FLOOD.

DAY AFTER DAY,
THE WATER LEVEL RISES

UNTIL THE WAVES
SWALLOW EVERYTHING.

IT IS SLOWLY, METHODICALLY
DROWNING THE ENTIRE CITY,

AND BEFORE LONG,
EVERYTHING IS GONE.

**

Narrator: ACCORDING TO PABLO,

THIS WAS NO ORDINARY SEICHE WAVE
POWERING ACROSS THE LAKE,

WHICH SUGGESTS TO PAVELEC
OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

FOR THE FLOOD IS FLAWED.

THERE WERE SEASONS OF RAIN THAT
WERE FED INTO THIS BODY OF WATER

THAT, IN 1985,
BROKE THROUGH THE DAM

THAT PROTECTED THE TOWN,

ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING EPECUéN.

Narrator: PAVELEC HAS PIECED
TOGETHER SOME OF THE EVENTS

THAT TRIGGERED
THIS APOCALYPTIC FLOOD,

BUT THE STRANGE LIGHTS HOVERING
OVER THE LAKE REMAIN A MYSTERY.

**

COMING UP,
NAZI TICKING TIME BOMBS...

IT REALLY WOULD BE
AN ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE.

Narrator: ...AND A MAN-MADE
MONSTER IN THE CASPIAN SEA.

IT'S FREAKING HUGE. IT'S
THE LENGTH OF A FOOTBALL FIELD.

**

Narrator: AUGUST 2015,
A SENTINEL SATELLITE

ORBITING 488 MILES HIGH...

PHOTOGRAPHS
AN EMERALD GREEN SWIRL.

IT'S THOUSANDS OF FEET ACROSS.

THE THING THAT REALLY THROWS
ME OFF IS THAT CYAN GREEN.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

**

THE SATELLITE CAPTURES
THE IMAGES AS IT PASSES

OVER THE BALTIC SEA.

SOMETHING IS CHURNING THE ENTIRE
BALTIC INTO THIS WHIRLPOOL.

**

HANG ON, THOUGH.

IF YOU LOOK CLOSER, YOU CAN
ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING FLOATING.

YOU CAN TELL
IT'S ACTUALLY A SHIP.

**

Narrator:
IF THIS IS A SWIRLING VORTEX

STRETCHING ACROSS
THE SEA'S SURFACE,

A SHIP IS IN TROUBLE.

**

FOR MANY YEARS,
ONLY THE BRAVEST OF SAILORS

ATTEMPT TO CROSS THE FREEZING,
TREACHEROUS BALTIC.

IN MODERN TIMES, IT HAS BEEN
NAMED "SHIPWRECK CENTRAL."

Pepper: OVER THE CENTURIES,

THE BALTIC HAS SWALLOWED
THOUSANDS OF SHIPS,

AND THE BOTTOM NOW
IS LITTERED LIKE A GRAVEYARD.

Narrator: STREWN ACROSS
THE SEABED ARE COUNTLESS SHIPS,

SUNKEN CARGO, EVEN AIRPLANES.

AFTER THE TITANIC, THE WORST
PEACETIME MARITIME DISASTER

IN EUROPEAN HISTORY
TOOK PLACE HERE

WHEN THE MS ESTONIA GOES DOWN,

TAKING WITH IT ALMOST
900 MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN.

Krueger:
WHY IS IT THAT WE'RE FINDING SO
MANY SHIPWRECKS IN THIS REGION?

COULD THERE BE
SOMETHING IN THE WAY

THAT THE CURRENTS FLOW
THAT IT DRAWS PEOPLE

INTO SOME TYPE OF A WHIRLPOOL?

Narrator: MARITIME EXPERTS
CONSIDER IF THE SATELLITE IMAGE

HAS CAPTURED EVIDENCE OF
A GIANT WHIRLPOOL OR MAELSTROM.

**

THESE SINISTER VORTICES,
RATHER LIKE BLACK HOLES,

SUCK IN ANYTHING
THAT DRIFTS TOO CLOSE.

**

IS THIS SHIP BEING DRAGGED
INTO A WATERY GRAVE?

SOMETHING IS CREATING
THIS VORTEX ON THE SURFACE

OF THE BALTIC SEA.

Narrator: BUT THE VORTEX LOOKS
TOO BIG TO BE A WHIRLPOOL.

WHAT'S MORE, OCEAN MAELSTROMS
AREN'T USUALLY

A LIVID DAY-GLO GREEN.

WHAT IF SOMETHING WERE ACTUALLY
LEAKING FROM SOME POLLUTION

SOURCE WAY UNDERNEATH
OF THE BALTIC SEA?

Narrator:
WHEN INVESTIGATORS SCOUR

THE AREA'S HISTORIC RECORDS,

THEY DISCOVER A DEADLY
CHEMICAL SECRET,

AND IT'S A SECRET
THAT GOES BACK TO THE NAZIS.

**

THE NAZIS USED GAS
TO KILL MILLIONS.

IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS,
NAZI SCIENTISTS

ALSO TEST TOXIC CHEMICAL WEAPONS
ON THEIR PRISONERS.

**

AFTER THE WAR, MILITARY
INVESTIGATORS DISCOVER VAST

NAZI STOCKPILES OF NOVEL
CHEMICAL WEAPONS.

THE ALLIES NEED TO DISPOSE
OF THESE LETHAL TOXINS URGENTLY.

THEY CHOOSE THE MURKY DEPTHS
OF THE BALTIC SEA.

THE BRITISH AND THE SOVIET UNION
DUMP 65,000 TONS

OF NAZI CHEMICALS THEY'VE SEIZED
RIGHT INTO THE BALTIC.

Krueger: COULD THIS BEAUTIFUL
EMERALD SWIRL IN THE BALTIC SEA

ACTUALLY BE A TOXIC STEW
OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS

USED BY THE NAZIS
DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR?

Narrator: ALLIED SCIENTISTS SEAL
THE LETHAL CHEMICALS

IN METAL BARRELS IN A VAIN
ATTEMPT TO PREVENT CORROSION

FROM THE BALTIC SALTWATER,

**

BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

THIS IS AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF CHEMICALS,

AND IT'S GOING TO COME OUT
AT SOME POINT,

THIS NOXIOUS NAZI CLOUD
OF POISON.

A TEAM OF SPECIALIZED DIVERS
RECENTLY DISCOVERS TRACES

OF MUSTARD GAS ON THE SEABED.

NOW SCIENTISTS ARE EXAMINING
THE SUNKEN NAZI STOCKPILE

TO CHECK
FOR WIDER CONTAMINATION.

IT REALLY WOULD BE
AN ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE.

Narrator:
BUT WHEN MARINE BIOLOGISTS

EXAMINE THE SATELLITE IMAGE,
THEY BELIEVE THE GREEN VORTEX

IS NOT THE RESULT OF NAZI
CHEMICAL WONDER WEAPONS,

BUT THEY THINK IT'S SOMETHING
POTENTIALLY JUST AS DEADLY --

A PLAGUE OF KILLER MICROBES.

SO, WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?

IT'S ACTUALLY AN ALGAL BLOOM
ON THE BALTIC SEA.

Narrator: IF THIS IS THE CASE,
IT'S DEEPLY DISTURBING.

THESE ALGAL BLOOMS CAN BE
JUST AS DANGEROUS OR TOXIC

AS ANY RELEASED
NAZI CHEMICAL WEAPONS.

BILLIONS OF ORGANISMS SWARM
TO CREATE A DEADLY TOXIC VORTEX

AS LARGE
AS 145,000 SQUARE MILES.

THE NATURAL CURRENTS
IN THE BALTIC TAKE THESE ALGAE

AND CAUSE THESE SWIRLS
AND EDDY CURRENTS

THAT MAKE UP THIS BEAUTIFUL,
GEOMETRIC PATTERNS

THAT LOOKS LIKE
A SWIRLING VORTEX.

Narrator: AND THE ALGAE
SUFFOCATES ALL LIFE IN ITS PATH.

THESE ALGAE BLOOMS TAKE
ALL THE DISSOLVED OXYGEN

OUT OF THE WATER,
CREATING THESE HUGE DEAD ZONES.

AND IT CAN BE VERY,
VERY DEVASTATING

TO THE SURROUNDING AREA
WHERE IT OCCURS.

Narrator:
TO SOME MARINE BIOLOGISTS, THIS
GREEN IS THE COLOR OF DEATH.

IT FASCINATES ME HOW
THESE THINGS CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL

BUT YET SO DESTRUCTIVE
AT THE SAME TIME.

**

Narrator:
COMING UP, A NATURAL-BORN KILLER
IN RHODE ISLAND...

Rice: THIS IS REALLY EERIE.

SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT HERE
WITH THIS FOREST.

Narrator:
...AND MULTIPLE REPORTS

OF A PTERODACTYL-LIKE MONSTER
IN A JURASSIC JUNGLE.

THE LOCALS POINTED TO THAT IMAGE
AND SAID, "YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE SAW."

**

Narrator: JULIAN BAYLISS IS
A BIOLOGIST AND EXPLORER.

HIS MISSION IS TO SEARCH
UNCHARTED TERRITORY

FOR CREATURES
UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE.

Bayliss: FINDING NEW SPECIES
IS REALLY WHAT GIVES YOU

THE MOTIVATION, OFTEN,
TO CARRY ON,

TO TAKE THAT EXTRA STEP.

Narrator:
TO ASSIST HIS SEARCH, BAYLISS
IS TURNING TO SATELLITE IMAGERY.

Bayliss: IT'S LIKE OPENING
A WINDOW INTO ANOTHER WORLD.

Narrator: BAYLISS IS EXAMINING
SATELLITE IMAGES

TAKEN OVER SOUTHEAST AFRICA

WHEN HE SPOTS
SOMETHING INCREDIBLE --

A JUNGLE WHICH
APPEARS ON NO MAPS.

WE DIDN'T KNOW
THAT THERE WAS A FOREST THERE.

THEN YOU LOOK ON
THE SATELLITE IMAGERY,

AND YOU JUST SEE HOW BIG
AND EXPANSIVE THIS IS.

Narrator: FOR SOMEONE LOOKING
FOR UNDISCOVERED CREATURES,

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY
IN MY LIFE.

NO BIOLOGIST, NO SCIENTIST
HAS EVER VISITED BEFORE.

Narrator: BAYLISS IS UNSURE
OF WHAT HE WILL DISCOVER HERE.

THIS IS A GENUINE LOST WORLD.

Krueger: WHAT COULD BE THERE?

COULD THERE BE A CURE
FOR A DISEASE?

COULD THERE BE SOME
MYSTERIOUS ANIMAL

THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW
HAD EXISTED BEFORE?

Narrator:
CLOSE TO THIS LOST WORLD,
PREVIOUS EXPLORERS

HAVE ENCOUNTERED TALES OF
FIERCE, APELIKE CREATURES.

Kays: IN THE REGION NEAR
THIS STRANGE FOREST,

THERE'S LEGEND
OF A GIANT APE.

THEY CALL IT "UFITI,"

WHICH ROUGHLY TRANSLATES
TO A GHOST.

Narrator:
LOCALS DESCRIBE THE ANIMAL

AS BEING AROUND 5 FEET TALL

WITH A BABOON-LIKE FACE
AND BROAD CHEST.

**

MANY SCIENTISTS BELIEVE
IT IS A MYTH.

YET IN 2004,

PRIMATOLOGISTS REVEAL THE
EXISTENCE OF A CREATURE

MATCHING THIS DESCRIPTION

IN THE JUNGLES OF THE DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO.

[ ANIMAL SCREECHING ]

IT'S SOME KIND OF LARGE
PRIMATE THAT WALKS
AROUND ON ITS HIND LEGS

AND IS BIG ENOUGH TO BE REFERRED
TO AS A LION KILLER.

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS,

THE CREATURES ARE FEARLESS
OF HUMANS

AND HAVE BEEN WITNESSED
FEASTING ON THE CARCASS

OF A LEOPARD.

THEY BECOME KNOWN AS BILI APES.

THIS KIND OF EXAMPLE
ACTUALLY PROVES

THAT LOCAL LEGENDS AND FOLK
TALES ARE USEFUL TO SCIENTISTS.

THEY CAN LEAD
TO REAL DISCOVERIES.

**

Narrator: BAYLISS AND HIS TEAM
OF SCIENTISTS

TRAVEL TO MOZAMBIQUE

AND THEN DRIVE
THE 700 MILES NORTH

TOWARD A MOUNTAIN CALLED "MABU."

Bayliss: IT'S DANGEROUS.
THERE'S A LOT OF RISKS.

THERE IS NO BACKUP, AND THERE
ARE NO EMERGENCY SERVICES.

YOU'RE REALLY CUT OFF.
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

Narrator: HIS MISSION --

TO DISCOVER HIS OWN
ANCIENT CREATURES

IN THIS REMOTE, LOST WORLD.

**

AS THE TEAM PENETRATES THE EDGES
OF THE UNEXPLORED JUNGLE,

THEY ARE HIT BY
A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR.

Stenstrom: THERE IS A REASON WHY
IT'S CALLED THE RAIN FOREST,

AND THAT IS THAT IT RAINS
PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY.

Narrator: THIS HEAVY RAIN,

COUPLED WITH THE JUNGLE'S
TROPICAL HEAT

AND RARE PLANT LIFE

DRIVES THE EVOLUTION
OF UNIQUE SPECIES.

WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO FIND THIS.
IT'S AMAZING.

THIS IS THE BEAUTY OF BEING
THE FIRST BIOLOGIST

TO VISIT A PLACE LIKE MABU.

Narrator: BAYLISS SOON SEES
CREATURES HE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE.

VERY BEAUTIFUL, VERY
INTERESTING DAY-FLYING MOTH.

IT COULD BE A NEW SPECIES.

Narrator:
BUT HE HAS YET TO PENETRATE
THE HEART OF THIS LOST JUNGLE.

IT'S EVIDENT THAT THERE'S
A LOT MORE TO DISCOVER

IN THIS FOREST
THE DEEPER IN WE GO.

Narrator:
BAYLISS STUDIES SATELLITE MAPS

TO PINPOINT THE EXPEDITION'S
PRECISE LOCATION.

WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE A CIRCLE,
AND NOW WE'RE ABOUT HERE.

Narrator:
HE IDENTIFIES A CLEARING

IN THE DENSE UNDERGROWTH
JUST A FEW MILES NORTH --

THE PERFECT PLACE TO LAUNCH
HIS RECONNAISSANCE DRONE.

**

Bayliss: WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO
OVER THE FOREST

AND THEN AROUND
THE PEAK AND BACK HERE.

**

Narrator: THE DRONE REVEALS
THE SCALE OF THIS LOST WORLD.

IT'S VAST -- THE BIGGEST RAIN
FOREST IN SOUTHERN AFRICA,

AND IT'S ALMOST ALL UNEXPLORED.

**

YET ONLY THE BRAVEST DARE
TO VENTURE THERE.

Bayliss: A LOT OF VILLAGERS
DON'T GO TO THE FOREST,

AND IT'S ONLY THE HUNTERS
AND THE MEDICINE MEN

WHO WILL ACTUALLY GO
TO THE FOREST.

THERE'S A FEAR
THAT BAD SPIRITS LIVE

AND RESIDE INSIDE THE FOREST.

**

Narrator: SCIENTISTS BELIEVE
THE CREATURES OF MABU

ARE SHAPED BY ITS UNIQUE
GEOGRAPHY.

THE RAINFOREST ON THE MOUNTAIN
IS SURROUNDED BY SAVANNA,

AND SO THE SPECIES THAT LIVE
IN THE FOREST

ARE UNABLE TO ESCAPE.

IT'S LIKE BEING
ON AN ISOLATED ISLAND.

WHEN SPECIES GET ISOLATED
WITHIN A HABITAT,

THEY CAN GET BIGGER
AND BIGGER AND BIGGER.

**

Narrator: STUDIES OF SIMILARLY
ISOLATED HABITATS

IN PLACES SUCH AS MADAGASCAR

SUGGEST THAT THE CREATURES
IN MABU

COULD ALSO HAVE EVOLVED TO TAKE
UNUSUAL PHYSICAL FORMS.

MABU HAS BEEN ISOLATED
FROM OTHER JUNGLE HABITAT

FOR LITERALLY MILLIONS OF YEARS,

SO WHO KNOWS WHAT LIVES IN THERE

OR, INDEED, WHAT HAS EVOLVED
IN THERE.

**

Narrator:
AS THE TEAM PUSHES DEEPER INTO
THE JUNGLE, CONDITIONS WORSEN.

**

YOU HAVE DENSE VEGETATION

THAT YOU HAVE TO
CUT YOUR WAY THROUGH.

YOU HAVE ANIMALS THERE THAT
COULD POTENTIALLY ATTACK YOU,

BUT THEN YOU HAVE THE BUGS
THAT COULD KILL YOU

BY JUST INJECTING
THEIR TOXINS AND DISEASES.

Narrator: THEN ANOTHER SPECIES
BAYLISS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE...

Man: GEEZ, HE CAN MOVE FAST
WHEN HE WANTS.

Narrator: ...A SNAKE,
BUT ITS MARKINGS ARE UNUSUAL.

Bayliss: IT IS DANGEROUS.
IT IS VENOMOUS.

**

ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE
EVER TO HOLD

THIS NEW SPECIES OF SNAKE.

IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.

Narrator: WHAT HAS SO FAR
ELUDED BAYLISS THIS EXPEDITION

IS EVIDENCE OF LARGER ANIMALS
UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE,

WHICH MAY BE HIDING
IN THIS LOST WORLD.

IRONICALLY, THE LARGER CREATURES
CAN BE HARDER TO FIND.

Bayliss:
IT'S DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY SEE

A LOT OF THE LARGE MAMMALS

BECAUSE THEY CAN
HEAR YOU COMING,

AND THEY GET OUT OF YOUR WAY,
SO YOU NEVER SEE THEM.

Narrator: BAYLISS HAS A PLAN TO
HELP HIM UNCOVER THESE BEASTS --

MOTION-SENSOR CAMERA TRAPS.

HIS TEAM ATTACHES THE CAMOUFLAGE
CAMERA TRAPS TO TREES.

LIKE THIS.

IF SOME UNKNOWN CREATURE STIRS
IN THIS PART OF THE JUNGLE...

PERFECT.

...BAYLISS HOPES HIS CAMERAS
WILL CAPTURE ITS IMAGE.

Bayliss: WE CAN GO BACK MAYBE
MONTHS OR EVEN A YEAR LATER.

THEN WE CAN SEE WHAT'S BEEN
MOVING AROUND IN THE FOREST.

Narrator:
AS THEIR SUPPLIES RUN LOW,

BAYLISS AND THE TEAM
ARE FORCED TO HEAD BACK,

BUT THEIR EXPLORATORY
VISIT TO THIS LOST WORLD

HAS SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS.

WHAT STARTED WITH LOOKING
AT GOOGLE EARTH

THEN TURNS OUT TO BE
THE LARGEST DISCOVERY I'VE MADE.

YEP.
I'VE GOT THEM BOTH.

I'VE DISCOVERED
OVER 20 NEW SPECIES TO SCIENCE.

Narrator: FOR BAYLISS,
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

HE IS ALREADY ORGANIZING
A RETURN EXPEDITION

TO HIS INCREDIBLE LOST WORLD.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING
THAT A BIOLOGIST CAN EVER DO.

WE'VE ONLY SCRATCHED
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

AT DISCOVERING THE ANIMALS
THAT MIGHT EXIST IN THIS REGION.

**

Narrator: COMING UP, AMERICA IS
UNDER THREAT OF MORTAL ATTACK.

THEY COULD BE INVADING
SAN FRANCISCO IN THREE HOURS,

AND WE WOULDN'T KNOW THEY WERE
THEY UNTIL THEY ARRIVED.

**

Narrator:
JUNE 1960 -- THE COLD WAR.

AND THE WORLD LIVES
IN THE SHADOW

OF A GROWING NUCLEAR THREAT.

THE U.S. IS LOCKED IN
A COVERT BATTLE WITH THE SOVIETS

FOR SUPREMACY IN ESPIONAGE.

**

THE C.I.A. LAUNCHES
ITS TOP-SECRET CORONA...

A SATELLITE PROGRAM,
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND,

ORBITING 100 MILES
ABOVE THE EARTH'S SURFACE,

GATHERING OVER 800,000 IMAGES.

ORBITAL STAGE MADE AND READY.

THEY WOULD DROP CANISTERS
OF FILM AND PICTURES FROM SPACE.

**

THE HEAT SHIELD WAS JETTISONED,
PARACHUTE POPS OUT.

**

Pepper: THEY HAD TO THEN CATCH
IT WITH AN AIRPLANE

BEFORE IT FELL INTO
SOMEBODY ELSE'S HANDS.

THAT'S STRAIGHT OUT
OF "JAMES BOND."

Narrator: ON A PASS OVER THE
WEST SHORE OF THE CASPIAN SEA,

THE SATELLITE CAPTURES
A LARGE, STRANGE-SHAPED CRAFT

IN THE DOCK OF
A MILITARY SHIPYARD.

**

IT'S NOT A SHIP OR A SUB
OR FLOATING CRANE.

IT'S UNLIKE ANYTHING
THE C.I.A. ANALYSTS HAVE SEEN.

WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S ENORMOUS.

Pepper: IT'S FREAKING HUGE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S THE LENGTH
OF A FOOTBALL FIELD.

Narrator:
THE IMAGES RAISE FEARS

THE RUSSIANS ARE DEVELOPING
A POWERFUL, NEW WEAPON.

Capp:
IT'S THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR.

WE CAN'T IMAGINE HOW SCARED THE
ANALYSTS WERE WHEN THEY SAW IT.

EVERYBODY WOULD'VE BEEN LIKE,
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!"

**

Narrator: C.I.A. ANALYSTS NAME
IT "THE CASPIAN SEA MONSTER."

ITS SHAPE SUGGESTS
SOME KIND OF FLYING CRAFT,

BUT IT'S TOO BIG
TO BE A REGULAR PLANE.

THE LENGTH OF THIS THING IS
ANYWHERE BETWEEN 350, 400 FEET.

THE WINGSPAN IS MAYBE
ONLY 100 FEET.

HOW IS THAT GOING TO FLY?

Narrator: IF IT'S AN ENTIRELY
NEW TYPE OF FLYING CRAFT,

IT'S TWICE THE SIZE OF
THE LARGEST COMMERCIAL AIRLINE

BUILT TO DATE, THE GIANT 747.

**

SUCH A MACHINE COULD DELIVER
AN ENORMOUS NUCLEAR PAYLOAD.

Pepper:
THIS IS REALLY FRIGHTENING.

THE C.I.A. HAD TO GET IN THERE

AND GET MORE INTEL TO FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON.

Narrator: THE C.I.A. COMMISSIONS
AN AMBITIOUS NEW TASK FORCE.

DECLASSIFIED RECORDS REVEAL IT
GREEN LIGHTS PROJECT AQUILINE,

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TOP-SECRET
SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM

BASED IN AREA 51.

SOMEBODY SAYS,
"HEY, HOW ABOUT A BIRD

THAT'S REALLY A DRONE
TAKING PICTURES?"

THEY SAY, "SURE. LET'S DO IT."

WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE START
OF OUR DRONE PROGRAM.

Narrator: THE PROJECT AQUILINE
DRONE LOOKS LIKE A BIRD.

IT GLIDES LIKE A BIRD, BUT IT'S
THE FIRST-EVER UNMANNED AIRPLANE

WITH A CAMERA FOR A HEAD.

THE PROBLEM IS, AT THIS TIME,

IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT
TO FLY SUCH A THING,

SO THEY KEPT CRASHING IT
IN THE TESTS.

IT WAS TOO RISKY.
THEY COULDN'T USE IT FOR THIS.

Narrator: EVENTUALLY,
CONTINUING RECONNAISSANCE

FROM THE CORONA
SATELLITE PROJECT YIELDS

THE DATA
THE C.I.A. ANALYSTS NEED.

WHAT IT REVEALS IS TERRIFYING.

**

THE MYSTERY CRAFT IS NEITHER
A PLANE NOR A BOAT,

BUT A DEADLY HYBRID.

IT'S A BOAT THAT FLIES,
AND IT'S A BOAT

THAT FLIES ONLY
A FEW FEET OFF THE GROUND.

A PLANE MOVES FORWARD,
DISPLACES THE AIR.

THE IDEA IS IF YOU'RE CLOSE
ENOUGH TO THE GROUND,

THE AIR FORCES BACK UP,
MAINTAINS LIFT.

THAT WAS, IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS,
THE THEORY BEHIND THIS PLANE.

**

IT HAS THE WEAPONS PAYLOAD
OF A SHIP, THE SPEED OF A PLANE,

AND IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO SEE COMING.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART ABOUT
THIS DESIGN IS IT FLIES SO LOW,

IT FLIES RIGHT UNDERNEATH RADAR,
SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,

THIS CAN JUST APPEAR OUT
OF THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

Capp: THEY COULD BE INVADING
SAN FRANCISCO IN THREE HOURS,

AND WE WOULDN'T KNOW THEY
WERE THERE UNTIL THEY ARRIVED.

IT'S MIND-BLOWING.

Narrator: RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED
SOVIET FOOTAGE SHOWS

A RARE TEST FLIGHT
OF THE CASPIAN SEA MONSTER.

THE SOVIETS CALL IT
THE EKRANOPLAN,

AND THERE'S NOT JUST ONE,

BUT A WHOLE FLEET
OF DIFFERENT MODELS.

**

FORTUNATELY FOR THE FREE WORLD,

THE FULL FORCE OF THE RUSSIAN
FLAGSHIP MEGAWEAPON

IS NEVER UNLEASHED.

AFTER ALL OUR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
LOOKING AT THE EKRANOPLAN,

TURNS OUT THEY HAD A CRASH,

THEY WERE HAVING
FUNDING PROBLEMS,

AND IT JUST NEVER
GOT OFF THE GROUND.

THEY NEVER PUT THEM IN SERVICE.

Narrator:
IT'S A COLD WAR EPISODE

THAT MAY HAVE REMAINED A SECRET

HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE C.I.A.'s
REVOLUTIONARY SATELLITE PROGRAM.

**

STILL TO COME,
A RHODE ISLAND INVASION.

IT'S LIKE A PLAGUE
OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS.

**

Narrator: MAY 2016 --

NASA'S TERRA SATELLITE
BEAMS BACK ROUTINE IMAGES

OF RHODE ISLAND'S FORESTS,
BUT SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG.

YOU HAVE THIS HUGE AREA
OF GREEN TREES

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE
ARE BROWN PATCHES

THAT ARE SPREADING OUT
ACROSS THE FOREST.

**

Narrator: SATELLITE IMAGERY
REVEALS THESE DEADLY PATCHES

APPEAR TO BE SPREADING AND FAST.

THIS IS REALLY EERIE.

SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE
WITH THIS FOREST.

**

Narrator:
CLOSER ANALYSIS OF THE IMAGES

REVEALS MILLIONS OF LIFELESS
TREE AND CONFIRMATION

THIS DEAD ZONE HAS BEEN CREATED
IN JUST A MATTER OF WEEKS.

IT'S SHOCKING, AND IT'S BARE
AND DEAD AND BARREN --

TOTAL DEVASTATION.

WHAT IS GOING ON?
WHAT'S KILLING THESE TREES?

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS EXAMINE
THE SATELLITE IMAGE FOR CLUES.

30 MILES FROM THE DEVASTATION
LIES WHAT REMAINS

OF A NOTORIOUS COLD WAR
BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH COMPLEX

ON PLUM ISLAND.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CREEPY MOVIE
RESEARCH FACILITY

WHERE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.

Narrator: THE BIO LAB CARRIED
OUT TOP-SECRET EXPERIMENTS,

AND MANY LOCALS ARE CONVINCED

THAT THE EFFECTS
OF THESE EXPERIMENTS

ARE NOT CONFINED TO THE ISLAND.

IT HAS BEEN LINKED TO
THE OUTBREAK OF LYME DISEASE,

BIRD FLU, A NUMBER OF CONTAGIONS

THAT ARE QUITE ALARMING
AND DANGEROUS.

WHEN SUDDENLY YOU HAVE THIS
MASSIVE DIE-OFF EVENT OF TREES

JUST MILES AWAY
FROM PLUM ISLAND,

IT CERTAINLY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
RESIST LINKING THE TWO EVENTS.

Narrator: WHEN INVESTIGATORS
VISIT THE SCENE,

THEY ARE SHOCKED
BY WHAT THEY DISCOVER,

OR TO BE PRECISE,
WHAT THEY HEAR.

THE FOREST IS ALIVE
WITH A STRANGE SOUND.

[ CHITTERING ]

A LOW-LEVEL RASPING ECHOES
THROUGH THE TREES.

**

IT'S THE SOUND OF MANDIBLES...

...INSECT JAWS,

BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS
OF INSECT JAWS.

Cerveny: THIS IS AN ARMY
OF LITERALLY BILLIONS

THAT ARE GOING
THROUGH THESE FORESTS

AND EATING TREE
AFTER TREE AFTER TREE.

IT'S LIKE A PLAGUE
OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS.

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS SCOUR
HISTORICAL RECORDS AND DISCOVER

IT'S A PLAGUE
OF VORACIOUS LARVAE

FROM A GENETIC EXPERIMENT
GONE HORRIBLY WRONG.

THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS IN THE
1860s WHEN ECCENTRIC SCIENTIST

LéOPOLD TROUVELOT
ATTEMPTS TO CREATE

AN ENTIRELY NEW SPECIES
OF INSECT,

A SILKWORM LESS
VULNERABLE TO PREDATORS.

A FRENCH ENTOMOLOGIST WAS TRYING
TO CROSSBREED A SILKWORM

WITH A GYPSY MOTH.

Narrator:
TROUVELOT CREATES HIS BEAST

FROM A VORACIOUS
EUROPEAN INSECT LARVAE

WITH THE NICKNAME "DESTROYER"...

BUT HE DOESN'T CARRY OUT
HIS BIO EXPERIMENTS

IN A SECURE LABORATORY,
AND HIS MONSTERS BREAK FREE.

HE BRED THEM IN HIS BACKYARD AND
WAS SURPRISED WHEN THEY ESCAPED.

OF COURSE THEY ESCAPED.

THE INSECTS MULTIPLY
UNCONTROLLABLY.

COUNTLESS FUGITIVE LARVAE
EATING 1,000 TIMES

THEIR BODY WEIGHT
COVER THE FOREST

LIKE A LIVING,
WRITHING, DEADLY BLANKET.

THE DESTRUCTION IS SO SEVERE,
IT IS VISIBLE BY SATELLITE.

**

SCIENTISTS ARE NOW TRYING TO
HALT THE SPREAD OF THIS MONSTER

BY INTRODUCING ANOTHER
TERROR TO RHODE ISLAND.

WE HAVE BROUGHT IN THESE
PARASITIC WASPS THAT COME IN

AND LAY THEIR EGGS
INSIDE THE INSECTS,

AND THEIR BABIES
LITERALLY EAT THEM ALIVE

AND EMERGE FROM THE HUSK
OF THEIR DEAD BODIES.

**

Narrator: NOW THE FOREST IS
ALIVE WITH TERMINATOR WASPS,

BUT THE DEAD ZONE
CONTINUES TO GROW.

THE DESTROYER LARVAE
SEEM UNSTOPPABLE.

Rice:
IT USUALLY WORKS TO SOME DEGREE,

BUT FOR THESE GUYS,
IT JUST DOES NOT WORK.

THE INSECTS ARE TOO FAST
AND TOO NUMEROUS.

NOTHING WORKS.

Narrator: WORSE STILL,
THE LARVAE ARE NOW ESCAPING

THE FORESTS AND HEADING
FOR HUMAN HABITATIONS.

SCIENTISTS HAVE IDENTIFIED
AN ARMY OF THEM

AS FAR AWAY AS TENNESSEE.

WELL, IT'S REALLY KIND OF SCARY
BECAUSE NOTHING WE'VE DONE

HAS BEEN ABLE TO
CULL THE POPULATION.

Narrator:
THE PLAGUE IS SPREADING RAPIDLY.

SCIENTISTS CAN'T PREDICT
WHERE IT WILL HEAD NEXT.
