The Thaw Page #4

Hey hey!

We could die here.

Hey, stay away|from the radio!

Don't. Don't!

- Put the gun down!|- I didn't have a choice.

I'm in charge now. Until the helicopter|arrives, I'm in charge!

What was that noise?

- Are you okay?|- Yeah, it's just a scratch.

Oh, Jesus.

- Hey, baby.|- When are we going home?

Soon, baby, soon.

Jesus.

It's the same color as...

- As what?|- Maybe you'd be comfortable lying down.

- That's a good idea.|- Same color as what?

All right, put her|in the spare bedroom.

It's okay, baby.

You'll be fine.|You just need to lie down for a minute.

- Where's Feddy?|- I'm right here, babe.

- When are we going home?|- Soon.

Really soon.|It won't be long now.

Wait.

We need to seal off the room.

- What about me?|- Good question.

You guys need to see this.

What is that?

What do you think it is?

Oh my God.

Ohh.

Do you think they can get out?

No. But we need|to seal that door.

Okay.

I need to do|something about this.

Right now.

Bart, wait.|What are you going to do?

I doubt there's a chopper between|here and Dawson City this time of year.

They're not gonna|be here for a while...

...and I ain't got that kind of time.

If these things hatch,|they'll spread.

If that happens, I'm done.

If I can just kind|of get underneath...

...some of them.

If I can just...

It's starting to come off a little bit.

- Oh sh*t.|- Oh, Jesus!

No.

No no no,|don't look at me.

Bart, no, you'll lose|too much blood.

Okay, then...

...we'll burn them out then.|I don't see why not.

We'll just douse|the arm in gasoline.

How do you know if you'll get them all?|You'll have to burn it to the bone.

If you don't do it...

I will.

We have to be|more prepared.

Are you sure about this?|I don't even know if this is morphine.

The worst that can|happen is that I OD.

There are worse ways to go.

Go on, man, jab it in.

Jeez Louise.

There we go.

Oooh, a guy could|get used to that.

All right, man, do it.

Something's happening|in there.

They're hatching.

Okay.|Okay, here we go.

Atom, hurry!

This isn't right.|You can't just chop off body parts.

This isn't the way.

- Atom.|- Do it.

Atom!

- Atom, do it again!|- Oooh.

Atom!

- Evelyn.|- Oh my God.

Bart.

Get the bugs.

- With what?|- Try the bug spray.

- It's not working.|- There's a lighter... try it.

God, I can't stop it.

It's working.|It's working.

I need something else to stop|the bleeding. This is not working.

I saw in the...|ATV kit.

Is he okay?

- The bleeding's starting to slow.|- Aw, he could go into shock.

Get his arm up.|Get his arm up.

We gotta put him on the couch.|Lie him on his back.

Okay?|Okay?

Come on, come on.|There we go.

- Get some gauze and some tape.|- Okay.

Lie him on his back. Okay, wait...|put his feet up, okay?

- Put his feet up.|- Oh, f***.

There we go.|There we go, buddy.

Got the tape.|We need some gauze.

Sh*t.

What the hell?

Sh*t.

It looks like they knew|what they were dealing with.

Who?

Dr. Kruipen.

It's a vertebrate.|It's not a bug.

- So we're related to this thing?|- Yeah.

It says that the males are harmless,|except for they create the sores...

...that the females bore into|and then they lay their eggs...

...and multiply.

What are you saying?|If you're bit by a male...

...you might not necessarily|be infected?

Yeah, the eggs|are the only threat.

These tapes, they only|date up to yesterday.

We have to see what's on them.|We need to know...

...exactly what we're|dealing with right now.

This tape's the most recent.|Where's my dad's camera?

It's with Jane's jacket.|But we put all that stuff in the lab.

- What the hell are you doing?|- We have to get in there.

You're not going back in there.|It's completely sealed.

You're just going to bring|those bugs back in here with you.

We need to get the information|before the helicopter gets here.

There might be something|in there that can help Ling.

Maybe save us all.

You get any bugs on you,|you're not coming back in here.

Evelyn!|Behind you!

Sh*t.

There's no f***ing way she's getting|in here. She's covered in bugs.

- Back off!|- Let me out! Let me out!

No no!

There's... There's...|there's bugs on her!

Atom, step away from her.

Atom, step away.

There's one under my shirt!

God!

What the f*** is that?

Get it out.

Get it!

- It's fine.|- What if it laid eggs in her? Huh?

I got it. She's fine.

All right. Um...

...the rest now.

She's clean, Fed.|Drop it.

Take the rest|of your clothes off.

- Now.|- It's okay.

He's right.

Atom, I need you|to check me.

She's clean.

Okay.

I had to be sure.

Are you sure you|want to see this?

Of course.

I'm really sorry,|you know?

Whatever happened between you|and your dad, I know it must be hard.

The weather's cleaning up.|They should be here soon.

What exactly are you guys|trying to find on that tape?

I mean, they're bugs and they|eat people... it's that simple.

We need to know what's gonna|happen if the bugs get off the island.

What kind of habitat|can they survive in?

What are the odds|of this turning into a pandemic?

My dad would have|thought this through.

We have to get that|information back.

"Today I rediscovered...

...what I knew when|I was young.

Whoa!|One got out.

Somebody kill it.

Oh my God.

It's time to get out of here.

We have to get|to the helicopter.

It's the only safe place.|Everything else should be burned.

- Help me! Help me!|- Oh my God.

Sh*t, they're coming|through the vents.

- We've got to get her out of there.|- No, we can't.

- There's too many. It's too dangerous.|- We gotta do something.

- What's going on?|- The vertebrates... they're with Ling.

We gotta sedate her.|Get me some drugs, man.

Get me something to wear...|something protective.

Jeez, you almost fell.

You gotta loosen this.|It's too tight.

I can't.

Feddy!

Feddy, open this door, Feddy.

- Almost got it.|- Agh.

Help me, Feddy.

Oh, please,|you have them too.

Feddy, what are you doing?

She was suffering.|She asked me to.

She's still alive.

You son of a b*tch.

I gotta sedate her.

Bart, wait.

It's okay, Evy.

- I got nothing to lose.|- No.

Evelyn, come on.|Come on, we've gotta go.

We need to make sure|everyone's clean before we leave.

I'm going straight|to the helicopter.

Anybody who wants to leave|can come with me.

It's just a precaution.|We're not accusing you of anything.

We just want to be sure.

F*** that.

Federico, wait!

You can't go in there.|I know why you shot Ling.

You're gonna f***|this up, aren't you?

- Fed...|- Shut the f*** up, Atom.

Soon as the helicopter gets here,|she's gonna blow the whistle on me.

And that means I'm gonna|die with these f***ing bugs in my dick.

I can't let that happen.

Please don't.

I'm sorry.

Dad?

- Dad!|- Kruipen.

Oh my God,|you're alive!

I'm sorry.

Me too.

I'm so sorry.

- Are you infected?|- No.

- You're shot.|- I'm okay.

Jane...

Jane died.

She sabotaged|the helicopter.

It's okay though.|We already called for help.

The whole place...|it's almost entirely infested.
