about this than we do.

Yeah, the FBI's checking on

Energyne.

Listen, do me a favor,

don't meander off too far.

Oh, Mr. Okoye.

Yeah.

Thank you for getting this

old cowboy off that plane.

Well, even a**holes deserve

a second chance.

Like my grandpappy

always said,

us a**holes gotta stick

together.

Have you seen our

satellite footage?

The gorilla survived

the crash!

Yes.

Unfortunately,

so did Dr. Caldwell.

So now what?

The gorilla doesn't

concern me.

It'll respond to the radio

frequency and come straight to us.

Dr. Caldwell is the bigger

problem.

Do you think she told them

something?

Based on the federal agents who are

about to walk through our door,

I'd say she told them

everything.

What?

Ah...

Claire Wyden.

How may I be of assistance?

Agent Park, FBI.

This is a warrant for a complete

search of your company's records,

starting with your lab.

Of course. Follow me.

We are horrified that what's happening

out there originated in this lab,

and we will do anything we

can to help.

Good, we need access to

everything.

Absolutely.

You have our full cooperation.

Every file.

Hard drives and servers, too.

Let's go.

Step away from

your work station, sir.

Could you open that up?

Keep yourself logged in.

Step back.

To that end, Agent Park, we're

going through the files

of the scientist responsible for

these creatures, Dr. Kate Caldwell.

I'm sure you're aware

of her criminal record.

Unfortunately,

we're just now uncovering

all the horrible things she was

doing during her time here.

I'll need that list of

Energyne servers, ASAP.

Of course, sir.

You okay?

Because you're sweating.

A lot.

No, I'm fine.

Everything's fine.

Whiskey-Two-Tango,

Whiskey-Two-Tango,

this is Echo-Four-Romeo, over.

Whiskey-Two-Tango,

Whiskey-Two-Tango,

this is Echo-Four-Romeo.

So, what do we do now?

I'm sorry, Doc.

There's no "we" anymore.

Look, I am sorry

I lied to you.

Yeah, save it.

You wanted something, you lied to get it.

You're human.

What makes you dislike

people so much?

Let me tell you something.

I've fought in wars all

over the world.

Hunted down animal poachers,

Africa, India, South America.

I got to see how people

really are.

And they'll pretty much do

anything to get what they want.

You think we're all like that?

You know where I found George?

He was hiding underneath

the poacher's truck.

When my team arrived,

these bastards were in the

middle of butchering his mother.

They were cutting off her hands so

they could sell them as ashtrays.

George never would've survived

on his own.

An albino like that on the black

market is worth a fortune.

So I took him with me.

And what happened

to the poachers?

Well, they shot at us

and they missed.

I shot back.

I didn't.

It's a good thing George doesn't

feel the same way about people.

What's that supposed to mean?

Oh. After what happened

to his family,

it feels like it would be real

easy for him not to trust humans,

but he definitely trusts you.

Right?

You're a geneticist,

you're not a shrink.

I also have a Ph.D. in calling

people on their sh*t.

Ah, well.

This ought to be good then.

Look, after college,

I was using CRISPR

to help endangered species

in the Arctic.

Then my brother got sick.

Doctors told him he didn't

have much of a chance.

But I knew CRISPR

could save him.

Then Claire Wyden showed up.

She made me her lead

genetic researcher.

- So Energyne recruited you?

- Yeah.

But what I didn't

know was that

every time I'd make a breakthrough

that could help my brother,

they were secretly using it

to build weaponized DNA.

I tried to destroy it.

Security just got to me

before I could finish the job.

Anyway, uh,

a month after I went

to prison, my brother died.

I never even got to say

goodbye.

I'm sorry.

I just wanna make sure

the Wydens can't hurt anyone

or anything ever again.

Does that sound like a plan?

Sounds like a plan.

Looks like our ride's here.

...Captain Evans.

Copy that.

Set a perimeter.

Colonel Blake, sir.

Black-Dog-Six-Actual, we have

eyes on targets Alpha and Bravo.

Roger that. Get in

position to box them in.

Roger, Six-Actual.

Targets are eight klicks out

and moving fast.

George is with the wolf?

You've engaged the

gorilla, sir?

And the wolf.

Got them surrounded in a quarry

about 30 miles outside Chicago.

Their trajectories had them both going

in a straight line to the city.

Two different species making a

coordinated long-distance journey.

That just doesn't happen.

Excuse me. Who is this?

Colonel, this is Davis Okoye.

He's a primatologist.

He raised the gorilla there.

And that is Dr. Caldwell.

She worked for Energyne.

She helped cook up

our cuddly little friends.

Agent Russell, this is a

military operation.

Yes, sir. I understand that, sir.

But right now,

these two know more about these

creatures than anyone on this planet.

I think you need to hear

what they have to say.

Colonel, what everybody

has to understand is

this is no longer just a wolf

and a gorilla.

A wolf and a gorilla would

be attacking each other.

They wouldn't be traveling in a

straight line to the same destination.

Then what are they doing and

why are they going to Chicago?

Because they're being called.

When I was at Energyne,

we worked with bat DNA.

The Wydens were obsessed with

developing biosonar communication,

and it looks like they got it

to work.

Energyne must be emitting some

kind of signal to draw them there.

Those creatures will do

anything

to get to that signal and

make it stop.

Colonel, you have to

evacuate Chicago.

These creatures are engineered

to regenerate.

Bullets and tanks

are not gonna stop them.

We have our contingencies

in order, Mr. Okoye.

Colonel.

In the meantime, the FBI has

requested that you remain here.

They have a few questions

of their own.

These gentlemen will

see you out.

- Ma'am, let's go.

- Come on.

You're making a big

mistake, Colonel.

Sir, let's go.

Targets in circle. All

Bushmasters, targets in three kill zone.

Hold fire till playtime.

Black-Dog-Six-Actual, we

have the targets surrounded.

Ambush is set.

All Bushmasters standing by.

Prepare to engage.

This operation is gonna go south fast.

We have to get to Chicago.

Yeah, I'm working on it.

All right, you two. We're in

the transport to the left.

- Kate, come on, come on.

- Hey! Hey!

Hey, I said left.

Okay. Hold on a second, boys.

You look like very smart MPs.

You also know there's a lot of bad

sh*t that's going on right now.

And I gotta be honest with

you both,

this stuff that we're doing?

It's not working for me.

- Enough. Move!

- Okay, all right.

Just consider this.

I'm a former team guy.

Let's not do this thing,

where you get in my face,

you threaten me,

because I'm gonna have

to knock you out,

and then, you, look at me. I'm

gonna choke you out so bad,

you're gonna urinate yourself,

and in front of the lady.
