Yes, sir.

Colonel!

Colonel, we've got a sighting.

Hargis here.

An eyewitness saw the organism pursue civilians...

...into the sewers. lt's got Kevin, Eddie and Meg down there.

You've got to do something.

Excellent!

We need a schematic of the sewers.

We'll contain it down there. I want that organism alive.

What about the civilians?

They're expendable.

Get up.

Stop him!

Attention!

We have an infected civilian trying to escape.

Stop him before he reaches a populated area!

Halt, or we'll open fire! I repeat: Halt, or we'll open fire!

Turn!

Handicapped persons, or persons in need of special assistance...

...may report to the Blue Station, located on the north lawn.

Dr. Sims and Dr. Divatni, please report to Med. Unit 1.

Are these the schematics? Yes, sir.

The whole town's sitting on a system of aqueducts...

...run off from the mountains.

Can the organism be contained?

There seem to be three main junctions. Here, here, and here.

If we close off those valves, I think we got it.

Is it still after us?

I don't think so.

I'll be good, I swear. I'll never see a movie, ever again.

It's going to be okay.

Let's just find a way out of here.

This way.

Baker Team, we place you 80 metres south of Valve 2.

Come on. That's our way out of here.

Watch out for the rat.

What rat?

Run!

Run!

Get up the post. Move!

Come on, climb! Go!

No!

Get him out of there!

No!

Come on!

I can't get through!

You can make it, Meg! Come on!

Run, Kevin! Run!

We have orders not to shoot!

Run, Kevin! Go to Town Hall!

No! But, Meg...

Do it now!

What are you doing?

Hang on!

Brian!

You all right? Yeah.

Forget about it, Brian. Let's go. Forget about it!

It got them. Bigelow and Wilson.

How do we get out of here?

They were trying to scream. Inside it. Trying to scream...

Listen to me! How do we get out of here?

Brian, he's hurt!

I think...

...we'd better go now.

Baker Team, Baker Team, what the hell's going on down there?

We're coming up!

Close the manhole.

That's my man down there!

We've got to contain that thing. Now, close it off! That's an order!

Do it.

Hey!

No!

You son of a b*tch!

Colonel, you can't! That thing's down here with us!

Meddows!

Do you hear me, Meddows?

Talk to me, man!

Meddows!

The water's rising.

It's coming for us.

I thought you were going to take care of yourself.

I guess I blew it.

I'm sorry, Meg.

I really am.

This thing work?

Does this thing work? It won't do any good.

Not against that thing.

All right, Meddows.

If you won't listen to me...

...listen to this.

Sh*t!

Fire in Sector 2! Charlie Squad to Sector 2!

All right, people, please stay where you are! Stay out of the street!

Mobile weapon units to Sector 2! Mobile weapon units to Sector 2!

We got a man down in Sector 2. On the double!

Flagg!

Drop it!

Stay back.

It's a lie!

All of it!

I said, put it down! I'll blow you out of your shoes, boy.

Shoot him.

Freeze, mister!

All right, hold on.

Everybody...

...just lower your weapons.

Hold your positions.

Don't come any closer.

He's infected! Contagious!

He'll spread a plague through this place...

...and kill all of you!

Listen to me, Briggs. Think for a minute.

Do you think an army of guys, in plastic suits, show up every time...

...a meteor falls?

Shoot him. That's a direct order!

How do you think they got here so quick?

How did they know when to come? Shoot! Damn it, shoot!

I'll tell you how! That meteor is manmade!

Some kind of a germ warfare test they f***ed up!

Don't try it!

Let's scrag that son of a b*tch!

Satchel charge! Short fuse!

Chew on that, slime ball.

What's happening?

I think you pissed it off.

Go!

My God...

...the day has come. Reverend, come on!

You don't understand.

This has all been prophesied.

Move! Get out, everybody! Everybody, back!

He ran for it, Meg. Let's go! Move!

Come on.

Reverend!

Meg, look out!

It's the cold. It can't stand the cold!

Hurry!

Barricade all the entrances!

Get some more CO2 over here!

Look out! Coming through.

It's empty, Meg! Get back!

Stay here!

And the great voice spoke to the seven angels and said: "Go your..."

There! Right there!

It's out!

Find some more!

Help me.

Come on! You can do better than that!

Come on, you son of a b*tch.

What a rush.

Hey, man...

...I told you we'd get snow.

You got to have faith.

I wonder if I'm covered for this sort of thing.

Dave, bring in the dump truck.

We better get this thing to the icehouse before dawn.

The will of God is written in the sky in fingers of flame.

Wormwood falls from Heaven...

...consuming sinner and saint alike!

Who shall be lifted up to rapture...

...when the judgement trumpet blows?

None but the faithful...

...brothers and sisters!

None but the faithful.

When, Reverend?

Ma'am?

The day of reckoning, how far off?

Soon, madam. Soon.

The Lord will give me a sign.
