"God, you're probably doing something healthy right now, aren't you?" "10-k." "You got something?" "Definitely an anomaly." "Where?" "Way outside the city." "Looks like it's on an airstrip." "How big?" "I see a hangar, but no tower." "Can you scan the pilot frequencies for any chatter?" "Uh, but of course." "Hey, you want me to see if the airstrip has a CCTV feed?" "Yeah, if it's not too much trouble." "Are you kidding me?" "My roommate in grad school was one of the founding members of Anonymous." "She taught me a couple things." "I didn't hear that, neither did anyone tapping our phones." "Call Mac." "Tell him" "I need him guarding that thing immediately." "And I'll get all the data together and then I'll meet you out there." "Toby, you'll get your chance." "I'm gonna call Dylan." "Send those coordinates to my phone, okay?" "Sure." "[Sighs] Well, at least I get to wake Mac up." "[Speed-dialing]" "Rendell here." "Seriously?" "It's Toby." "Where are you?" "Route 31!" "Somewhere between heaven and Vancouver." "What's new?" "We got an anomaly, about five Miles east of where you are." "Spring River Airport, you ever heard of it?" "Yeah!" "Did some skydiving out there last year." "Pretty quiet off season." "Okay, well, Evan and Dylan are gonna meet you there." "You're on guard duty, ASAP." "That could be a bit tricky!" "I've got company." "Samantha?" "How do you know about Sam?" "Because it's me, and I know everything." "Look, can you just drop her off somewhere?" "If no one minds leaving the anomaly unguarded for an extra hour." "Will you be cleaning up the body parts?" "Okay, fine, but Evan's not gonna like this." "He'll listen to reason." "If you say so." "Ta." "And countdown to ass-chewing, in three, two..." "You do realize that we're trying to keep this a secret, right?" "Toby said you needed me here immediately." "What was I supposed to do, leave her by the side of the road?" "What were you two doing way out here anyways, huh?" "Ah." "Great." "Pillow talk." "I Haven't said a word to her." "No." "So, instead, you show her this?" "[Mac]:" "Look at the size of this." "Something huge could come out of there." "We need the firepower, and she's good, Evan." "I vetted her." "Very thoroughly, I'm sure." "Go ahead, Toby." "[Toby]:" "Hey." "Is Mac fired yet?" "Thanks for the support, Tobes." "What have you got for us?" "I got a missing airplane." "Eastern Airlines 443." "It's a cargo carrier from the Yukon." "[Dylan]:" "You think it's related?" "See for yourself." "'Kay." "One second." "[♪]" "'Kay." "Go ahead." "Streaming video..." "Now." "[♪]" " 'Kay." "Thanks, Tobes." " Looks like... we've got ourselves a search and rescue." "We're gonna have to go through." "We need to think about this." "People could be dying in there." "People could already be dead, in which case, we can take a minute to make a plan." "I know I'm the new guy, but where exactly did the plane go?" "That's my point." "We really have no idea." "We've been through this before." "It was fine." "Are you serious?" "We almost got eaten by a raptor!" " Pardon?" " Dinosaur." "Sharp teeth." "Poor impulse control." "I've heard of raptors." "Are you saying you guys saw one?" "Alive?" "Not after I got through with it." "Actually, it was the Pteranodon that finished it off." "Nice try, though." "Believe me, I know the feeling." "Until we find out otherwise, we have to assume there's survivors in there." "Yeah." "And something big and scaly trying to eat them." " So, are you coming, or not?" " Wait." "Wait." "We can't leave Sam alone." "We're not." "You brought her." "She's your responsibility." "You are not going in there alone." "I need you here, in case anything comes through that anomaly." "And, Mac?" "Please try not to let anyone else fly in." "We're really gonna do this?" "Like we know what we're doing?" "Exactly like that." "[Sighing]" "Set." "Let's go." "[Whoosh]" "[Thudding]" "[Spits dirt out]" "[Coughs]" "[Both groaning]" "I wasn't expecting that." "[Laughs, stunned]" "Did you see that?" "They just ran into it and disappeared!" "Yes." "I saw." "[Grunts]:" "Ugh." "Thanks." "[Dylan]:" "Where'd the ground go?" "Well..." "Looks like it was somewhere else, back... [wheezing]" "Whenever we are." "So was the sun, apparently." "At least there's still some moonlight." "There." "It seems to be in one piece." "Yeah." "They had enough room to land, anyway." "Shouldn't be too hard to evacuate them." "No." "[Yells]:" "Mac!"

" [Evan chuckles]" " No shit." "So what's the plan?" "Fly back out?" "Ah, I was kinda thinking we'd just try to make it to the plane without being ripped to pieces." "As a first step." "Well, if there are any dinosaurs," "I'm sure you shouting your face off let them know we're here." "Well, maybe it's our lucky day." "Oh, correction... night." "What in hell are we going to tell the people on the plane?" "Well, first off, let's just hope someone survived." "A trank gun?" "Giant man-eating monsters come out of the anomalies, and you put them to sleep?" "Well, what can I say?" "I work with pacifists." "[♪]" "[♪]" "[Rumbling]" "Damn. [Chuckles]" "How'd you two get into the Bermuda Triangle?" "Same way you did?" "Fan-freakin'-tastic." "Come on in." "You don't seem concerned about this." "Yeah, well..." "I learned to fly in the Gulf war, so... on the Shock-And-Awe scale, this weirdness is about a six." "Oh." "There's Pallavi." "Ladies and gentlemen, my co-pilot." "First year flying commercial, but, uh, she's got the goods." "Do you know where we are?" "At first, I thought it was an eclipse, but it's been over an hour." "I have no idea..." "But I say we fly this thing back out of here, and discuss it over a beer, huh?" "Is the plane okay?" "Uh, I just finished my pre-flight." "We took kind of a hard bump when ground level went down 20 feet." "Looks like one of the wheel struts needs adjustment..." "But the big problem is the wiring." "It, uh, got fried somehow when we went through the big Bermuda Ball." "Can you fly this thing without instruments?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "I've done that lots of times." "But we do need to get the ignition system up and running so we can start the engines." "We'll have to cannibalize some wire from the cargo." "Okay." "I'll take care of the wheel strut." "We'll work on coming up with some wire." "Great." "I'll open the cowling." "The good news is... it's easy to fix a DC-3." "[Chuckles]" "It's just a bunch of airplane parts flying in loose formation." "The good news." "Maybe you can put in a pilot report." "You know, something that'll keep other planes away." "Yeah." "Okay." "Uh, how about..." ""Giant airplane-sucking time portal, use alternative runway"?" "[Mac]:" "Yeah, that would be hilarious, if Cross wasn't stuck on the other side of it." "He's gonna be fine, Mac." "Okay?" "He's smarter than both of us put together." "Not that you add much, percentage-wise." "Well, since you're the brains in the family, maybe you can tell me how long this thing's gonna stay open." "[Sighs]" "I can't believe you and Toby both..." " kept this a secret from me." " How do you know Toby?" "Same bathroom." "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about this." "Are you kidding?" "I didn't think you could get any hotter, but this is definitely hotter."

"[Silence]" "[Mutters]:" "Where're you at?" "Jim!" "[♪]" "Shit." "[Flesh squishing]" "[Cries out]:" "Dylan!" "We've got a problem!" "What is it?" "What's wrong?"

"[Grunts]" "[Flare pops]" "[Flames crackling, skittering]" "Run!" "[Pallavi]:" "What are those things?" "They're everywhere!" " You need to calm down." " They're everywhere!" " Okay, you need to calm down." " Where's Jim?" "Where's Jim?" "Where's Jim?" "[Snaps]:" "He's dead!" "[Quieter]:" "I'm sorry." "He's dead." "I'm sorry." "But how..." "How can he be dead?" "Just... just a minute ago, I heard him talking." "Pallavi." "Those beetles..." "[Sighs]" "They're carnivouous." "But... but beetles don't kill people." "We can't help Jim." "But we can help ourselves, and that's what we're going to do." "We're going to fix the plane, and we're going to fly out of here okay?" "Ok?" "But the repairs..." "I fixed the wheel strut." "As for the wiring..." "We, uh, we'll find a way to fix it from the inside." "Okay?" "[♪]" "You were good." "Thanks for that." "If you'd been farther away, I..." "You can make the repairs, right?" "The tools are outside..." "So we'll have to improvise, but..." "It's only been 20 minutes." "Anomalies can close at any time, and if this one closes, they could be stuck there." "Maybe forever." "This thing doesn't tell you how long you've got?" "It's bloody useless!" "I've got to go in." "Mac, do you do exactly the opposite of everything your boss tells you to do?" "Protecting him is my job." "And I'm not doing it, standing out here." "He said wait, Mac." "We wait." "[Exhales tensely]" "You take your job pretty personally." "He's been good to me." "Pulled me out of a pretty shite life in London." "I was going to join the army." "If it weren't for him, I could be dead now." "So maybe you could trust him a little?" "Here." "Thanks." "You told me to turn off the flashlight." "I thought nocturnal creatures stay away from light?" "Cockroaches do, moths don't." "Beetles are all over the scale, so I took a guess." "Well, that's comforting." "Those beetles have long antennae, which means they have bad eyesight." "I figured the light was helping them find you." "So was it just another guess that the fire would repel them?" "I grew up fighting fires in Fort McMurray." "You want to find a fire in a forest, you just head into the bugs flying away from it." "Seems like there's a life lesson in there somewhere." "If there is, I haven't learned it." "[Skittering and scratching along hull]" "[♪]" "[Skittering]" "They're eating the silicon seals around the windows." "I'm guessing Jim was trying to replace the wiring from the batteries to the main DC bus." "Is that right?" "[Intense skittering]" "Pallavi, I need your help with these repairs." "He, uh..." "He went outside to check the wiring from the bus to the starter motor." "Okay, well, we're gonna have to hope those wires are okay." "Where's the batteries?" "Under the floor." "You're doing great there." "Hey." "It's okay." "We're gonna make it out of here." "I think I'm gonna need some tools to get to the batteries." "[Clattering]" "[♪]" "You know a lot about airplanes." "I'm impressed." "I could, uh, probably build one, but I can't fly one." "[♪]" "So I sure hope she can." "I'm monitoring air traffic right now." "Nobody's headed in your direction." "[Mac]:" "What about the anomaly?" "How long's it gonna last?" " I don't know!" " Well, can you guess?" "Mac, you're not the only one worried about them, okay?" "I'm working on it!" "Well, take your time." "[♪]" "[Exhales, frustrated]" "Sod it." "Mac." "[Anomaly crackling]" "[Skittering and growling]" "Oh..." "Oh..." "[Beetle screeches]" "[Skittering and hissing]" "[Darts blasting]" "Mac!" "Don't!" "[Sam]:" "Its carapace must be armored." "[Beetle screeches]" "That's..." "That's a very big bug!" "Thought you said you'd been fighting dinosaurs?" "Well, I guess this time we've stumbled into the Insectocene Era." "We could make a run for the bike." "Fleeing is a very attractive option, but I'm afraid it wouldn't look very good on my performance review." "[Takes a breath, huffs]" "[♪]" "Well, there you go." "Buggered off." "[Skittering]" "There!" "Aw, crap." "I assume everything in this plane's on the DC system?" "Except for the radio." "That's on ac." "How many volts does it take to start the engines?" "Uh, 25." "[Skittering on hull]" "[Breath grows ragged and shaky]" "Hey." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Look at me." "And none of the controls are electric, right?" "[Gulps]" "All cable..." "Or hydraulic-assist." "Okay." "[Skittering]" "Why are there so many of them?" "I think maybe you landed on a nest." "So you... you think they're only right here?" "Maybe." "Maybe not." "But, if it's a nest, does that mean there's a..." "a-a..." "[Tearfully]:" "a queen or something?" "Pallavi, I deal with dangerous predators for a living." "[Takes a steadying breath]" "We're safe for now." "And as for us getting out of here," "I hear Evan Cross is a genius." "Hearsay." "We're going to make it out of here." "[Gulps, taking breaths]" "We are." "[Quietly]:" "Okay." "[Pallavi steadies her breathing]" "Some of this is Jim's stuff." "He was coming back from six months up north." "[Chuckles sadly]" "He was in Thailand for a while after the war." "He became a Buddhist." "He carted this back and forth with him every time." "So he believed in rebirth?" "He had no family." "Who's gonna remember him?" "You will." "I guess they forgot to put up their "No Bugs Allowed" sign." "Think it can open doors?" "I don't know." "Maybe we should've locked the car, just in case." "[Stunned chuckle]" "What?" "Well, I can't believe how you're reacting to this." "What, am I supposed to be all girly and scared?" "Well, most people are a little upset." "Mac!" "We're hunting an eight-foot bug!" "Who ever gets to do that?" "That's what I'm saying!" "You're reacting the way I did." "And that's bad?" "No." "It's unbelievably sexy." "It's like dating myself." "Who says we're dating?" "Well, we're having sex." "So?" "And we eat together on a regular basis." "Lunch at work is not a commitment." "So what are we doing?" "Mac." "Big bug... lives at stake?" "Focus." "Right." "Are you avoiding the question?" "Shh!" "Do you think it's still open?" "The anomaly?" "I think that comes under the heading" ""accept the things you cannot change."" "You're not worried about it?" "It's on the list, somewhere." "What else is on your list?" "Besides the obvious." "Well... if it is closed..." "What happens if we get stuck here?" "Can you grab the wire from the first battery, please?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "You mean, if we had to spend the rest of our lives here?" "Assuming that's longer than today." "Well, first of all," "I would need you to use the parts of this plane to build some kind of Einsteinian TV that could pick up Oilers games." "I was thinking more along the lines of the time-stream aspect." "Oh, you mean how it would affect history if archaeologists were to find a 50-million- year-old DC-3?" "Or how it would affect things if children were born here." "[Chuckles]" "Evan Cross, are you propositioning me?" "[Laughs]" "I'm a scientist." "I'm just..." "running scenarios." "Aw, forget it, hoss." "There isn't enough prehistoric vodka in the world to make that happen." "I don't know." "Time travel's full of paradoxes." "For all we know, this could be how the human race got started." "[She scoffs]" "Silence..." "Are they gone?" "[♪]" "No!" "[Cries out]:" "No!" "No!" "Shut that door!" "[Pallavi sobbing]" "[Door shuts]" "Did anything get in?" "I don't think so." "[Sobbing]:" "We're gonna die." "We're gonna die." "We're gonna die." "We're gonna die." "[♪]" "Do we have to restrain her?" "She knows the bugs are out there now." "We need her to fly this plane." "She's got to hold it together." "I'll be sure to let her know." "So what are you doing, exactly?" "Connecting the batteries to the main bus." "And a main bus is?" "A distribution point to the rest of the electrical system." "Once I get the batteries connected, it'll bring up some of the gauges, then I'm gonna do a direct jump to the starter motor relays..." "If that doesn't disturb anyone." "Give her a break, Evan!" "She just lost someone she was close to." "You lost Drake, in the same way, but I watched you at his crime scene." "You held it together and you did your job like a pro." "The fact that I stuffed down my feelings so I could examine his body is something I feel sick about." "Well, you shouldn't." "Because it makes you somebody that I can depend on." "Drake was your friend... and even though you saw him ripped to pieces, you're still chasing these things around." "What does that say about you?" "Maybe it says I've gotten used to it." "What does that mean?" "Nothing." "[Skittering]" "[Gasps]:" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my..." "God!" "Oh, my... it's in my shirt!" "Get it out!" "Get it out!" "Get it out!" "I can't!" "[Thud]" "[Panting]" "[Grunts and gasps]" "[♪]" "[♪]" "[Anomaly crackling]" "Jesus." "How'd it disappear so fast?" "Well, apparently, it's disgusting and quick on its feet." "How long do you think it would take to reach the city?" "[Cell phone ringing]" "Toby?" "Please tell me" "Vancouver isn't having a plague of beetles?" "Why?" "What did you do?" "Nothing!" "You called me." "Yeah." "I know." "Listen." "I'm getting unstable telemetry readings, but it could just be the cell network," "I'm not really sure." "Well, what does that mean?" "That the anomaly could close on Evan and Dylan?" "[Alarmed]:" "They're still in there?" "Yes, they're still in there!" "[Man screaming in horror]" "What was that?" "[Man screaming]" "[Shrieking]" "[♪]" "[Sam]:" "Hello!" "[Click]" "[Relieved gasp]" "[♪]" "No!" "[♪]" "[Evan]:" "How could you not know we're out of fuel?" "We had 80 gallons in the right tank when we landed." "It was a hard landing." "There must be a leak in the tank!" "Without the gauges, there was no way for me to know!" "Hey..." "Evan." "[Breathes deeply]" "Those rags..." "The ones you set off with the flares, you soaked them in something." "Gasoline!" "From the generator." "How much fuel do you think is left?" "I don't know." "5, 10 gallons?" "You're not thinking..." "These engines..." "Will they run off that kind of fuel?" "Uh..." "I guess." "You guess, or you know?" "Yes!" "But you can't refill the tanks from the inside." "It's impossible." "Well... it's a good thing" "I deal with the impossible for a living, then." "[Bang]" "[Clattering]" "Isn't that structural?" "Does it really matter?" "[♪]" "I really wish we did have a big bug-zapper." "You're doing fine." "Don't patronize me." "Sorry." "[Beetle growling]" "[Flesh squishing]" "What's it doing?" "Well, it's definitely not eating him." "What do you do with a tranq rifle and a really hard bug?" "Maybe its underbelly isn't armoured." "Fine." "We have to flip it over." "Like a steer?" ""Bug Rodeo?"" "I'll draw its attention, you lasso one of its hind legs, and we'll wrap it around from there." "[♪]" "[Exhales heavily]" "[♪]" "[Gasps]" "Sam!" "You get its legs and I'll hold onto it!" "Get off him, you sodding night-crawler!" "Oh!" "Oh..." "[Mac grunting]" "Oh!" "[Grunts]" "Shoot it!" "I can't get a clear shot!" "[Crashing]" "What's she doing?" "Letter to her family." "Well, if this doesn't work, it's gonna take a long time before anybody gets it." "Well, there it is." "The wing tank." "[Sighs]:" "Damn." "What?" "There's two kinds, there's metal and rubber." "I was kinda hoping for rubber." "You can cut into it without blowing us up?" "Well, if we go, we go together." "[Sighs]:" "Ange is gonna be pissed." "[Sighs]" "[Thud-pop]" "[Both laugh]" "I was supposed to be working on a prototype today." "I mean, I don't know how she keeps that company afloat." "You guys've worked together a long time." "Yeah." "Forever." "She was the one who found the vulture capitalists who funded our first start-up." "We went bust three times before we started Cross Photonics." "[Metal rips]" "So she knew your wife?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "She knew Brooke." "It wasn't a bear, was it?" "[♪]" "[Sighs regretfully]" "I'm sorry." "I googled you after we met." "I read about Brooke's death." "You told the police it was a bear." "Brooke!" "That's what the article said." "But it wasn't." "That's what you meant earlier." "[Sighs]" "Drake wasn't the first person you lost to one of these creatures." "[Huffs] You should concentrate on that." "[Rummages in equipment]" "Ah." "[♪]" "How's he doing?" "Not good!" "Hurry!" "[Wheezing intensely]" "His airway's obstructed." "Hold him down." "[Gasping]" "[Gasps]" "[Gagging]" "This will just take a sec." "[Gagging]" "[Squishing]" "Ugh." " What the hell is that?" " I think they're... eggs." "[Gags]" "Oh, God..." "It's a queen." "That's why it didn't eat him!" "It was using him for an Incubator." "Hey!" "Whoa." "Hey-hey-hey-hey!" "Wait-wait-wait-wait!" "Come back!" "We can explain all this." "Not very convincingly." "Oh, wow, I really hope I got 'em all." "Well, Toby can track him down later for a good stomach pump." "Let's get mama back into the anomaly." "She and I are going in." "You're plugging the tank with a tent repair kit?" "Unless you've found a tube of sealing compound from one of those boxes." "Can you siphon in the gas?" "I'm taking a day off tomorrow." "Okay." "[Sighs]" "We're gonna be ready in about a minute." "There's not enough gas." "We'd need a full 10 gallons for run-up and takeoff." "Run-up is to test the engines, right?" "We're gonna skip that part." "This thing'll either fly or it won't." "I can't." "I'm not ready." "Not all alone." "Jim... said you had the goods." "Pallavi..." "I work too much." "I have no life." "And the one thing that's come out of that is that the people that I love the most are the ones that I work with." "Did you love Jim like that?" "[Quietly]:" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "Well, I'm sure he loved you the same way." "And he wouldn't want you to die here, would he?" "[With resolve]:" "Okay." "[♪]" "( ♪ )" "[Exhales]" "How hard can this be, right?" "It's just a bunch of airplane parts flying in loose formation." "Mixture control, emergency rich..." "Fuel boost pump..." "On." "Here we go." "[Pallavi screaming]" "No!" "No, Evan!"
