- Thank you, sir. We can see that.

I'm showing Delta T-170.

Punch up the flight chamber.

Come here. Winston, Winston,

Give me your hand.

Now come on, get out of here.

Spike, get off.

Spike, get down.

Spike, Spike, put it--

Get going.

Get out of here.

Goliath.

Come on, Goliath, come here.

- Man:
Evacuate the area.

- ( alarm beeping )

Goliath, come on.

Goliath, Goliath, come here.

Come on.

Voeks:
Core temperature

is rising.

We're gonna have to

close it up right away.

T-200. It's gonna pulse.

Man over P.A.:
We're locking

the chamber. Evacuate now.

Voeks:
4300 rads released

in the flight chamber.

No contamination outside.

You okay?

Yeah.

( beeping )

What's the problem?

It's not going down.

Reactor override isn't functioning.

The circuits must be shorted out.

Unless we can bring

that reactor down,

it's just gonna keep on

generating heat.

Until what?

Dr. Carroll over P.A.:

Garrett, can you hear me?

Garrett.

Jimmy:
Yeah.

Listen, there's been no leakage

outside of the chamber,

but you've got to get out of there.

We can't get the reactor down.

Jimmy:
Yeah, I know. There's a fire

extinguisher jammed in it.

Garrett, evacuate the area

immediately.

We are looking at a possible

meltdown here, Garrett.

You've got to evacuate

immediately.

Garrett, do you understand

what I'm saying?

Garrett!

Hey, Goliath.

Hey, hey, come here.

Look what I've got.

Come here.

Come on, Goliath.

I got something for you.

Come here.

Come on.

Come here, Goliath.

Come here, look.

Look, come here.

Come here.

Look what I've got.

Come on, Goliath.

Look. Look what I've got.

Yeah, it's here. That's right.

That's yours.

Come on. Come on.

Look, you want it?

You want a cigarette?

You want it, Goliath?

Come here, Goliath, come here.

Look what I have for you.

Look.

You want it?

Want a cigarette?

Garrett, what the hell

are you doing?

You want the cigarette?

You want it?

Yeah? Good.

Look at it.

Not yet.

You go get that first.

Go get me that.

Bring me the red thing.

Bring it to me.

Goliath, go bring it to me.

Go on, Goliath.

Go on, bring it.

Go get it. Go get it.

That's good. That's good.

No, not that. No, not the plane.

The fire extinguisher.

No, put that down. Put it down.

Go get me the red thing.

The red thing-- go get it.

Go get it.

Bring me the red thing over there.

Go get it. Go get it.

Come on, Goliath, come on.

Come on, get the red thing.

Come on, Goliath, come on.

Jimmy.

- Teri:
Go get it.

- Just like this, Goliath. Go get it.

- That's it. Go get it.

- Go get it. Bring this. Go get this.

- Go get it. Go get it.

- Go get this.

Go ahead, get this. Bring me this.

Then I'll give you the cigarette.

- Teri:
Go get it.

Jimmy:
Go get this.

Go get it.

Go, Goliath. Go get it.

Go get it. Go, go, go.

( chittering )

Bring it back.

That's good. That's right, pull it.

Dr. Carroll:

Go get the fire extinguisher.

- Come on. Come on.

- Pull that thing out of there.

All:
Come on, pull it. Come on,

please, pull that thing out of there.

- Come on, baby.

- Get it.

Pull it. Keep pulling, Goliath.

Bring it.

- Bring it here.

- Goliath, that's good.

Pull it.

That's it. That's good.

- That's good.

- Good.

( whirring )

All right. All right.

Got it. Got it. All right, all right.

Dr. Carroll:

How are we?

We're okay.

No radiation leakage

outside the flight chamber.

Good, Goliath.

That's good.

Good.

Good, Goliath.

That's good.

Good.

That's good.

Thank you, Goliath.

Dr. Carroll:
Good job, Garrett.

Are you both okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

Good. Now take your animal

back to the vivarium

and help get the others

back in their cages.

Dr. Carroll,

this is Teri McDonald.

She's the woman

who raised Virgil.

He never should have been

brought here.

We should let her

take him home.

Garrett, take your animal

back to his cage.

We'll talk about this tomorrow.

Is that clear?

Sir, can we just stop

and think about this?

Garrett, this is Colonel Niles.

Do exactly as Dr. Carroll says.

That's an order.

Yes, sir.

Well, go get your animals

back in their cages.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Okay, Ginger, give me your hand.

Okay.

This way, this way, this way.

( alarm beeping )

Oh, sh*t.

Come on, Goofy.

Come on, fellas.

Come on.

Jimmy:
Come on, Goofy.

Come on.

- Jimmy:
Easy.

- Teri:
That's it, come on.

Jimmy:
Easy.

Teri:

Come on.

Ah, sh*t.

Teri:

Come on.

Come on, come on.

- Where are the keys?

- They're in there.

- They're not there.

- I don't know. I left them in there.

- Aw, sh*t.

- ( siren wailing )

- What?

- That way.

- Come on. Come on, Goofy.

- What are we doing?

Come on. That's right, this way.

Come on, Ginger.

Come on.

There you go.

Come on, get in there, troops.

Jimmy, wait a minute.

This is an air force plane.

We can't just steal it.

Don't worry.

I do it all the time.

- Where are we going?

- As far as we can get.

That's right. You fly.

That's right.

You're my copilot, buddy.

( siren wailing )

Teri:

Come on, guys.

Come on. Come on.

Hurry. Hurry.

That's it. Come on.

Whoa.

Turn off your engine and come out

with your hands in the air.

Exit the aircraft.

Soldier:

Let's go, honey.
