together.

He'll be here.

We're running

out of time.

If it doesn't

move soon--

Why don't we just

blast the thing

with the pipe bomb?

It's risky.

It might just

piss it off.

But we're running

out of options.

I think I've got

an idea.

How much time

do you need to

load that machine?

About ten minutes.

What are you thinking?

What exactly are you

gonna do with this?

You'll see.

Thank you.

Ohh. Great.

No rush.

Good luck.

Copy that.

What the hell

was that?

[Roaring]

[Roaring]

Come on, move!

Move!

That was his plan?

It's the worst plan

I've ever seen.

He's one crazy

son of a b*tch.

We need to get to

the water while we can.

Ready?

Ready.

I hope this works.

I'm just glad

we didn't have to pee

into the machine.

Hey, water is water.

Whatever it takes

to get us home.

Water's pumping

normally.

When it reaches 95%,

I'll begin the

fusion sequence.

Easy, pal.

Jeez! Colonel, man--

you gave me

a heart attack!

I'm actually out of

bullets, anyway.

Sorry about that.

I thought you

heard me coming.

What's the

situation here?

We gotta keep moving.

I tried to use

that IED on that thing,

but it just took off

after me.

I barely got away

with my life.

I guess my plan

kind of worked.

Rivers!

Go, go, go, go!

[Roaring]

Aaaaah!

Aaaaah!

I'm gonna begin

the fusion sequence.

[Gunshots]

What?

What's happening?

[Beeping]

I don't know.

[Roaring]

Remember the last time

we escaped by the skin

of our teeth?

Son of a b*tch!

Well, this ain't

one of those times.

Shut it down,

or we're gonna lose

the whole machine!

[Beeping]

Go!

You want some?

[Roaring]

Come get some!

[Explosion]

Got it.

[Shrieking]

God.

How could I have been

so reckless?

Colonel.

Did you see

Lieutenant Rivers?

Where is he?

He didn't make it.

What happened

to the machine?

Did the water not work?

It isn't the water.

The chamber

holding the coolant

must have been damaged

in the building

collapse.

We didn't realize

it had a slow leak.

Without it, the machine

can't reach the

temperatures it needs

to initiate the cold

fusion reaction.

So, in layman's terms,

we're screwed.

How do we fix it?

It uses simple Freon.

Readily available in

every hardware store

and used in every

car on earth.

But here--

Ammonia.

Ammonia.

That'd work.

We could use ammonia

as the coolant.

It's in the same

family as Freon.

We could get

the ammonia from

the monster.

Wait, that's suicide.

Okay. It's not like

we've had much luck

with these things,

but we're gonna

capture one or kill one

to get the ammonia?

But we're not--

This is crazy!

It's just crazy!

Not if we don't

have to use one of

the big mamas.

How much does

this machine weigh when

it's filled with water?

Well, it expels

the hydrogen ion

and absorbs

the oxygen, so...

it barely adds

any weight at all.

Okay. Grab the machine.

I gotta show you guys

something.

Oh, yeah.

Military man, huh?

Let the skinny scientist

carry the machine.

Anything you say,

Mr. Military Man.

SYNN:
Synn to Dr. Fast.

Are you there?

I'm here, Colonel.

Did you get the water?

We did, but we've

hit another snag.

Long story short--

we've got to fix

the machine.

Have you made it

to the building yet?

Not yet. I'm close.

Soon. Very soon.

You don't have much time.

Within the hour.

I'll be in touch.

Roger that. And...

I hope you find what

you're looking for.

[Whispers] You see the nest?

Yeah.

Well, when Beavis dropped

one of the eggs,

I could smell

the ammonia,

just like I did

when I killed the first

little bastard.

So, it's in

the eggs, too.

How much do you need?

Well, I'm guessing

I--I could probably get enough

out of a couple of

the big ones.

How are we supposed

to get in there

without

getting killed?

We wait.

We wait?

Again?

We don't have

much time.

Dr. O'Hara,

we have to figure

something else out.

He'll get us

stuck here.

Or worse, killed.

You want to go get

one of those yourself?

Yeah, didn't think so.

That thing's

a killing machine.

Our best chance

for staying alive

is to sit tight

and wait.

How much time

do we have?

Three hours.

Two hours.

Which one is it?

Two hours.

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Ohh!

Ohh!

Ohh!

This is never

gonna work.

This is never gonna work.

This is never gonna work.

This is never gonna work.

This is never gonna work.

This is never gonna work.

Keep it together,

Murphy.

Well--Well,

we're screwed.

I mean, I mean, that thing

has just been sitting

there forever.

We don't have

much time.

We need to find

another alternative.

We wait.

Dr. O'Hara,

this is insane.

We're never

gonna make it.

We need to find

a solution now.

Okay.

What do you suggest?

Uh...we find Dr. Fast.

You know she's right.

If there is intelligent

life here,

we can easily

make the repairs and

still get out of here.

Oh, come on, wake up.

She's over two hours away.

She's never gonna make it

back here on time.

This is a mistake.

We wait.

That's final.

Jillian...will you

talk to him, please?

We're running

out of time.

Oh!

Oh!

What are you doing?

I thought you

told us to wait.

I did.

I'm trying

to check out

what's on the other

side of the nest.

He's not the best

under pressure.

You think?

He's right

about one thing--

we're running

out of time.

We've got to start

thinking about Plan B.

Which is?

I'm working on that.

What the hell

are you doing?

Saving your ass.

That's a sinkhole

down there.

Why don't you look

where you're going?

[Murmuring]

Ohh.

Oh, okay, I gotta get

out of here.

Okay. I gotta get

out of here.

I gotta get out of here.

I gotta get out of here.

I gotta get out of here.

[Creature snores]

Crap, he's running.

[Whimpering]

[Creature snorts]

[Roaring]

Ohh!

[Creature roars]

[Roaring]

[Whimpering]

Figures.

[Roars]

[Murphy screaming]

We may have

another problem.

I can't believe

he just did that.

He's been my assistant

for over eight years.

He cracked.

Some people just

can't take it.

What was he thinking?

I mean, where did he think

he was gonna go?

Doc...

I need you to focus.

What do we do now?

Plan B.

[Sobs]

Ohh!

Uhh!

What are you thinking?

We lure it into here,

get it to fall in.

Once it's stuck,

we go back to the nest,

we grab the eggs

and the machine.

All right,

these should work.

All right.

I get the creature to

chase me over to here,

I grab the vine,

swing across,

it falls into the hole.

Like Tarzan?

Yes, Jane.

Just like Tarzan.

You think it'll work?

Absolutely.

How much time

do we have?

Not much.

All right. Give me a hand

with this.

Colonel,

are you there?

Colonel Synn,

can you hear me?

This is Synn.

How are you, Doc?

I've been better.

I've hit a few snags.

Yeah, we've hit

some trouble ourselves.

Colonel...

I know the window

of opportunity

is closing.

But I'm just about

to make it to

the building.

It's historic.

Good luck, Doc.

You, too, Colonel.

You, too.

Synn out.

All right,
