- I don't know.

I hope to keep its heart beating

with a little adrenalin.

Do you want

some rags?

Yeah. Not too hot.

Not steaming.

Nothing down there

but dirt.

- Any supplies?

- Not any that I could see.

What I could use

is a sterile jar.

I've got a jar of vitamins

in my pack.

Look.

Can't you stop it ?

I don't dare sedate it.

- Here's the rag.

- That'll help.

Here's your jar.

Okay.

Maggie ?

Maggie.

Yes?

In my bag there's

some surgical tubing.

Come on.

I know it's

a nightmare, okay?

But it'll be over soon.

We'll get out of here

in the morning...

And go home tomorrow.

You know what that old man said about

this creature awakening to protect them?

In a strange way,

it's true.

This is gonna stop

what's going on.

People can't

ignore it anymore.

There's a reason--

There's a reason

it's happened.

There's a reason

why we're here.

I'm pregnant.

What?

I'm pregnant.

And I ate what the mother

of those creatures ate.

It's not a nightmare

that's gonna end.

It's just beginning

because it's inside me.

I'm pregnant.

It's the ugliest sound

I've ever heard.

Why didn't I know?

You didn't wanna know!

I tried to tell you,

but you wouldn't listen!

You were too busy playing god

to be a human being!

I thought having a baby...

Would bring us

closer together.

It's not a baby anymore.

- Maggie--

- No!

- We can take care of it.

- No!

I can't kill it!

I wanted a baby.

I know.

I know. We'll get through it.

We'll get through it.

It wants to be born.

Mr. Vern!

I feel it.

I'll stay in the tunnels

until they're gone.

Mr. Vern.

What's the meaning of this?

It's the answer,

Mr. Isely,

To some very...

Important questions.

This is the result of...

Methylmercury...

Spilling out of your plant.

My god.

Did you know?

Did you know?

I didn't want to.

- M'rai!

- Welcome.

Get into these tunnels!

The tunnels!

Get into these tunnels!

Hawks, the pilot's

barely alive.

We gotta

get him to town.

The town is too far.

It's 12 miles.

Our village

is closer.

He's in a coma. I can make a stretcher

to carry that pilot.

- Will there be a car in the village?

- No, but there's shelter.

- We can send for help.

- It'll take too long.

If we send someone

from the village,

By the time they get back,

we'll be looking at nightfall again.

What's the alternative?

Who knows when that thing

will come back?

What about

the helicopter radio?

No, that doesn't work

unless it's up in the air.

There's a

microwave tower.

It's on the top

of Mt. Emery.

- Controls all communication

in this area. - How far is that?

Six, seven miles,

maybe.

We can't walk six miles through the forest

not knowing where that thing is.

I can.

You go to the village.

I'll go there.

If I can make contact,

You'll be out of here

by nightfall.

Now, let me--

Let me do this, now.

Where did they go?

They've taken everything.

Where can we put him?

Let's take him inside.

I think we'd better

try for town.

He's delirious. I don't wanna

spend the night here.

Listen, three-quarters

of a mile from here,

Where they cut the trees,

they left a carrier.

Carrier?

It's like a tank.

It's used for moving equipment.

It'll go through anything. Will it run?

There are tools in the cabin. I'm gonna

cross the wires. How long to get to town?

Three hours, maybe four.

It'll be night by then.

It'll be night here too.

But we have shelter here.

This isn't

shelter enough.

Let's go.

Come up here.

The cabin!

Maggie!

Katahdin.

Katahdin!

No!

It's coming.

It's drowned.

It's drowned.

It's drowned!

It's drowned!

It's drowned.

It's drowned.

It's dr--

It's drowned.

It's drowned.

It's dr--

Let's barricade this place!

Maggie, light!

Christ!
