"Hey, guys, slow down." "We're not shovelling driveways here." "This cave's been untouched for half a million years." "We don't know what we might find that can help us prove the protocanth existed." "Dr. Koby." "There's a storm working its way towards us." "I want you and your team back on board this ship immediately." "Dr. Koby." "Do you copy?" "There's nothing wrong with the radio, captain." "I can hear you just fine." "So can she." "She's ignoring me." "Get down there and drag her out." "Aye, captain." "Dr. Koby." "Have to wrap things up." "There's a storm coming through." "Doctor, did you hear what he said?" "All right." "what's that?" "Adam?" "Adam?" "Louise?" "Adam, i've found it." "The protocanth exists." "Where are you?" "On an ice fissure off palmer island, near the arctic circle." "It's exactly where my father said it would be." "oh, adam, this goes way beyond my wildest expectations." "I have a fully formed specimen." "Can you... can you show us what it looks like?" "Okay." "Come this way." "It's been perfectly preserved in ice... for millennia." "Get the light on, will ya?" "This must really be something." "You just lit up like a christmas tree." "Okay, i know this is probably not very exciting to you, but a discovery like this, this is once in a lifetime." "Okay, that's good." "How's that?" "Well, it's not good." "It's still a little murky." "Okay." "Come closer." "Oh, adam, you gotta see this." "Oh, my god." "you okay?" "Something's wrong." "Very wrong." "Ohh." "Emma." "Adam." "Emma." "I am adam kane." "I was a pioneer of genetic research, manipulating dna to save human lives." "But in many, their genes unexpectedly mutated." "They developed super-human abilities." "Together with four of the most powerful i fight to protect a world that doesn't even know we exist." "We are... mutant x." "Okay, everybody, let's get a move on." "We want to make dr." "Koby's ship before nightfall." "I still don't know why should couldn't have found this thing in the caribbean." "Uh huh." "So how's the helix?" "Oh, it's just fine." "For use in every continent except for the one that we're going to." "Adam, you know we should be testing the helix for use in extremely cold weather before we go." "Nah, it's going to be fine." "Don't worry." "I'll consider that a great comfort when the turbines freeze and we plummet into the atlantic." "See the way she reacted to that video?" "Yeah, i saw it." "Ever known her instincts to be wrong?" "You have us flying half-way around the world, adam." "Tell me this isn't more than just a sudden interest in archeology." "Hey, this isn't just some ancient artefact." "This is a lost species." "This thing was thought to be the ultimate predator, so you can imagine the secrets that are locked in its dna." "Not to mention all the frequent flyer miles we've logged on this trip." "How are you feeling?" "If i'd known you were going to react like that i would've warned you." "I don't know why i got such a bad hit off that thing." "Do you think it was just your flight response, you know?" "See a snake and you back off?" "I think our programming for this thing goes pretty deep." "I got a weird feeling about it, too." "Hey, where'd this thing come from anyway?" "Well, you have to go back to the pre-cainozoic period." "You know, but this thing is a bl-ped, right?" "So there are some scientists actually theorize that this thing is related to man." "Oh, wait, wait." "Hold up." "You're saying we might have evolved from this thing?" "Yeah." "Well, if evolution hadn't taken a different turn." "I don't see how anything could've survived in such a brutal climate." "Yeah, but see, that's the thing." "Back then this was all like the tropics." "All right." "We're about to get our first up close and personal look at the missing link, coming up on dr." "Koby's ship." "Whoa... jess?" "I don't know." "What's going on?" "Looks like the landing gear won't deploy." "Probably the weather." "You saying we can't land?" "Hold on." "I'm trying to unfreeze it." "There..." "let's bring her down." "Yeah." "Let's put her right on the deck." "Hi!" "adam!" "i'msogladyou came." "Oh, god, you couldn't keep me away." "We just extricated the specimen out of the block of ice." "I've started the thawing procedure, too." "Yeah, i know, but wait" " are you using saline solution or the landley method?" "Now... i mean, i haven't forgotten everything your father taught me." "The landley method." "It's slower than saline, but i wanted to preserve as much of the integrity of the tissue as possible." "Oh, good." "Good." "Oh, i'm very, very excited." "Can't wait... god, it's freezing." "I'm sorry, everybody." "This is louise." "Hi." "I'll show you where you can get settled." "It was one of those great strokes of luck or fate, like he was sitting there waiting for me to find it right on the outer shelf of the glacial wall." "Wow." "How the hell did you get it out?" "Oh, it wasn't easy." "Could've used the extra hands." "This way." "what is that?" "Pretty loud, i know." "It's the sound of the ice closing in around the ship." "But don't worry - these freighters can withstand anything." "You'll get used to it." "I doubt it." "So, ready to be amazed?" "Can't wait." "Hey, you don't have to come down if you don't want to." "Yeah, i do." "Wow." "Oh, that's amazing." "From what i can see there's virtually no decomposition." "Temperatures in this region never rise above freezing." "Means this sucker got himself flash frozen." "Well, brennan, as crude as that analogy might be, you're not far off." "Oh, man, looks even more brutal in person." "Hey, c'mere." "Check this guy out." "He's not going to bite." "Come on." "I... i need some fresh air." "Why don't you go and watch her?" "Would you like to do the honours?" "Yeah, i would love to." "Thank you." "There." "Ow." "The membrane on the specimen is still active." "I just felt a stinging sensation." "So what do you think?" "I think that you have found the protocanth." "Oh, no... oh, to hear you verify it makes all the difference." "Well, you deserve it." "I know it hasn't been easy following in you father's footsteps." "Aw, he deserves all the credit." "His journals are what got me here." "No, but, he lost his life and the lives of - what?" " Nine crewmen trying to make this discovery." "You were very brave carrying on his research." "He'd be proud." "Well, shall we?" "Yeah." "(over radio) stand by to move to maximum power to get through this ice." "You can throw your stuff there for now." "Figured by that fancy plane you had to be part of koby's team." "Reeks of a fat research grant." "Never seen anything like it." "I hear there's something else on board that nobody else has ever seen before." "Ask me, it shoulda stayed that way." "I worked this freezing slice of hell my whole life." "Pulled things up from the sea that looked like they came from another planet, but nothing like that." "It's been bad luck from the start." "Almost lost a man puling it aboard." "Winch broke, almost cut him in half." "And then the weather knocked out our communications system." "And for the last two hours i haven't been able to wiggle us out of this ice field." "Couldn't it all just be a coincidence?" "I mean... you mean what?" "We're on the edge of nowhere out here." "We run into trouble, we're on our own." "Talk to me, jocko." "Captain, we got a problem down here." "Main engine's thrown a rod." "I'm going to have to shut 'er down." "We'll let you guys get back to work." "That's it." "Our luck's about to change." "That's strange." "This is the sample that we just took from the creature?" "It looks like it came from living tissue." "It's a half a million years old." "How can that be?" "Ho... i don't know." "I mean, even perfectly preserved, the cellular collapse would've been instantaneous the moment it died." "Could the extreme temperature have prevented that from happening?" "It's conceivable, but... highly unlikely." "Hah, the frozen fish stick's really got you freaked out, huh?" "It's a lot deeper than that." "Yeah, how?" "Look, i know how this is going to sound, but i got a really powerful vibe from that thing." " you know what?" "I knew i shouldn't have said anything to you." "Yeah." "Look, emma, i'm sorry." "Okay?" "I shouldn't have laughed." "But you know, it sounds kind of... i know how it sounds." "But you have to believe me, brennan." "Okay." "Don't jump down my throat here, but maybe you were picking up a vibe from... from one of the crew members..." "no." "What i was feeling wasn't human." "You cold?" "You're shivering." "You should go inside." "It's not the cold." "Captain, you sure we should be doing this?" "This is my ship, and i want this thing out of here, now." "Find some rope." "I... i... ugh." "That thing's really got you scared." "I'll show you how scared i am." "Find me the rope." "I'll do it myself." "it's alive." "I gave explicit orders that the protocanth was not to be touched." "Well, so this thing couldn't have just disappeared." "I mean, do you think someone from your crew moved it to the lab?" "No." "The captain's been getting his crew riled up with ridiculous superstitions." "So you think he's responsible?" "I gotta tell you, he didn't seem real happy having it on board." "He's trying to get rid of it." "Adam, we gotta find him." "That thing is out there." "You gotta get me on your plane and fly us out of here - now." "Sorry." "We're all booked." "We have to get out of here." "That thing'll kill us all." "What are you talking about?" "That creature, it killed the captain." "That's enough!" "It's all right." " Where is it?" "I told you..." " you're lying." "It's the truth." "We came down here to put that thing overboard when... all of a sudden it... it woke up." "It locked onto the captain's face with some kind of tentacle." "Do you plan on tucking us in after this story?" "It's the way it happened." "I swear." "All right." "No, let him go." "Come on." "Shalimar, take him up to the galley." "Brennan, emma?" "Need you to find the captain." "Don't tell me you actually believe him?" "Well, i'll feel a lot better when we find the captain." "he's..." " emma." "This is what i felt, his terror while he was dying." "Let's get out of here." "Adam, how can this be happening?" "Well, all we have is the crewman's report." "He said that the creature attached a tentacle to the captain." "There's literally no liquid left in his system." "It's as if his internal organs were freeze-dried." "Why would it do that?" "It was feeding." "That's quite a leap." "No." "Emma's a telempath." "She's been sensing an energy in the creature from the start." "That's why it kills." "Because it's hungry." "And it's getting stronger." "We're not going to survive unless we get off of this ship now." "No." "We need to contain it." "Adam, you realize what this could mean to science." "Is that all you care about, doctor?" "A man just died." "I understand that." "But i'm just..." "but what?" "It wasn't enough that your own father lost his life and the lives of all of his men?" "Shalimar, you are way out of line." "Nobody could've anticipated this." "Well, that's just it, adam." "We have no idea what to expect from this thing." "What if all we're doing is serving up its next meal?" "Or did that even factor into your equation?" "All i'm trying to do is prevent this from happening again." "But like it or not, pandora's box has been opened... yeah, well, we need to figure out a way to close it." "Let's go." "Now the power's going crazy." "I think those boilers are going to burst." "I gotta get down to the engine room." "I told you, nobody leaves." "We're all staying together." "Yeah?" "On whose orders?" "Dr. Koby or the captain's?" "Captain's dead." "He knows it." "He just doesn't want to tell you what's going on." "Is that true?" "Look, just calm down." "All right?" "We've got the situation under control." "Who are you kidding?" "That creature is in control." "What?" "We've got it contained in the hold." "Which is why we need to all stay together." "Up here." "No, we need to take that thing down." "Damn straight." "My team is working on that." "But we have no idea what that thing is capable of." "He's right." "We should stay together." "Stay out of this." "Do me a favour?" "Watch my back." "Yeah, i was going to ask you to do the same thing." "What the hell's that?" "Well, it looks like he's trying to turn up the heat." "Look, i'm going to check out over here." "low-pitched growling" "you okay?" "Yeah." "For now." "I have a feeling he's going to come back for more." "I'm telling you, adam, i hit it with enough force to kill ten people." "It kept on going." "There doesn't seem to be any nerve damage." "How's it feel?" "Like i just showered with a jellyfish." "The place was a mess, too." "There was broken steam pipes everywhere..." "wait." "Steam pipes?" "Yeah." "Okay, so maybe that's how this thing managed to revive itself." "The heat." " Of course." "It originally thrived in a tropical environment." "Well, i don't mean to scare anybody, but in case you guys haven't noticed it's gotten awfully hot in here." "Yeah, no kidding." "It's, like, 90 degrees in here." "All right." "So i think maybe this thing's trying to turn the ship into its own little private caribbean island." "The galley." "It's right over the engine room." "It's gotta be cooking in there." "That's exactly where jesse's watching the crew." "Jess?" "Yeah, adam, i'm here." "Jesse, you gotta get the men up to the bridge immediately." "Why?" "What's going on?" "We think the creature thrives on heat." "You're not safe there." "Change of plans." "We gotta get up to the bridge as quickly as we can." "Come on!" "Hey, hey, hey." "Hold it." "Hold it." "Forget it." "I'm not going anywhere 'til you tell us what's happening." "Look, we don't have time." "We gotta move." "Go." "Sorry." "I think i'll take my chances right here." "I'm with owen." "Okay." "Look, this creature is smart." "It's figured out how to turn up the heat in here because it's hungry." "It wants to feed on us." "Please, let's go." "We don't have time to fool around." "Come on." "Good." "Go." "I'm going down to the engine room, look after them boilers." "That thing gets in my way, it's getting a lead lunch." "This tranquillizer contains a concentrated dose of liquid pavulon." "A single drop of this could take down an elephant." "I hate to break it to you, doc, but if i couldn't take that thing down, neither can you." "Well, i have to try." "You plan on doing this alone?" "Look, i know none of you signed up for this." "Oh, we're way past that, doc." "Yeah, let's go kick some protocanth ass." "Careful what you wish for, right, adam?" "Watch yourself out there." " emma, what are you doing?" "It's hungry." "Emma, i don't want you to connect with this thing." "Emma, don't go there." "I wasn't trying to, adam." "It was connecting with me." "It senses my fear." "What the...?" "Report, jock." "Looks like that thing's had a field day down here." "What's going on down there, jock?" "Ah...!" "Jock?" "Jock!" "Agh...!" "(over radio) jock!" "Oh, my god!" "No... no...!" "It's in the galley!" "Jesse, what is going on down there?" "Come on, come on." "Hurry up!" "Close the door." "Jesse!" "Adam, i only managed to get about half the crew out." "The rest refused to leave." "I didn't have a choice." "Right." "You did the right thing." "Stay in touch." "They panicked." "So, what?" "It... it hunts us down by sensing our fear?" "Jesse, i want you to come down and get emma." "Will do." "No." " Emma, if fear is the thing that draws this thing out, then i can't afford to have you down here." "Adam, i can handle it." "But what if you can't?" "What if your connection with this thing triggers another feeding frenzy?" "Oh... oh, my god." "They didn't stand a chance." "I didn't know." "They blame my father for losing his crew." "All these years - i just wanted to clear his name." "I had no idea what i was unleashing." "How many people can you get in your aircraft?" "I don't know." "Six, maybe seven." "Ellerby outpost is three hundred miles south of here." "It's time we started an evacuation." "All right." "Let's go." "Adam, it's a graveyard in here." "We're going to start an evacuation." "Well, where's dr." "Koby?" "Dr. Koby?" "Adam, she's gone." "I guess she just couldn't resist another shot at that thing." "All right, well, let's find her and let's get her up on the bridge." "I'll get jesse and emma to prep the helix." "Let's just hope she doesn't get herself killed." "So should i start bringing the crew aboard?" "We're not going anywhere any time soon." "What's going on." "Figured out why i had such a tough time landing before." "The pre-heater on the intake is fried." "Well, how long is it going to take for you to fix it?" "I don't know." "But i'll tell you one thing, without it we're not going anywhere." "Louise, where are you?" "Louise." "You come in, please." "Louise, do you read me?" "All i need is one shot." "I got enough sedative in this thing to knock out an army." "Yes, but you don't know how this drug will react with the protocanth's physiology." "So i need you to get up to the bridge, please." "I can't, adam." "I just lost half my crew." "I should've evacuated when we found the captain's body." "Louise, you cannot do this alone." "I need you to get up to the bridge now." "Please." "Do you read me?" "Over." "I'm gonna bring this thing down." "Louise." "Louise!" "Dr. Koby?" "Ohh... better safe than sorry." "Would you please stop that?" "It's a little distracting." "I can't help it." "How about giving yourself a little telempathic hit of tranquillity?" "I wish." "But unfortunately it doesn't work like that." "Uh... ahhh!" "Then how about giving me a little hit of patience, because i'm just about to snap here." "Any sign of her?" "No." "Louise." "Open the door!" "I shot him with the tranks but he wouldn't go down." "Don't go off on your own again!" "Okay?" "Until we find a way to control this thing the only thing we do is deprive it of its food supply." "I'm down with that." "I don't think it likes that idea." "There's got to be something we can use to slow it down." "Yeah, drop a three tonne block of ice on his skull." "Wait." "Ice - it's not a bad idea." "What do you use to freeze you samples?" "Liquid nitrogen." "You got some?" "Yeah, i think so." "Over here." "Guys, you might want to hurry." "That door's not going to hold." "looks like we found our silver bullet." "Yeah." "It's too bad we're out of silver." "It's almost impossible to believe that the protocanth could've existed out there for a half a million years and still be a viable life form." "It's an extreme form of hibernation." "Now we need to figure out how to put it back to sleep." "Yeah, but we're out of nitro." "There should be more tanks in the hold." "Why don't we just coat ourselves in barbecue sauce for that thing?" "Look, we don't have a choice." "We can't just leave it here alive." "That thing will go to any lengths to survive." "Well, she's right." "I mean, what if it made it to the mainland?" "That's impossible." "Well, you know, the impossible has a way of happening around here." "how much longer is this going to take you?" "All i know is every time you ask me that we burn through another ten seconds that we can't buy back." "Jesse." "Yeah." "Because of your ability to phase, you're the only one who can avoid the protocanth and move around the ship safely." "We need you to get some canisters of liquid nitrogen which are stored in the hold..." "lower deck, starboard side." "Lower deck." "Starboard side." "Jesse." "Hurry." "I'm on my way." "Okay, adam, look." "Without fear, this thing is blind." "So you guys have to do everything you can to stay calm, and clear your minds of all thoughts." "Huh." "No, no, no." "She's right." "It's our only defence." "Just close your eyes, and..." "and try to take deep breaths." "Just relax." "It's okay." "Look at me." "It's all right." "Just take a deep breath." "growling, banging" " louise." "You want fear?" "Come and get me." "Emma, no!" " She's using herself as bait." "We need to get to the hold before she does." "I'm not afraid of you." "I'm not afraid of you." "Emma." "Down!" "is it over?" " Not quite." "Well, the crew managed to pull the ship out of the ice." "Great." "So we don't need to evacuate." "Good." "This is everything from the lab." "Thank you." "With this buried, it's like it never existed." "I put a warning in there in case anyone stumbles on it." "Good idea." "I know how hard this must be for you." "Well, if this every leaked out this whole area would be swarming with research parties wanting to bring it back to life." "I don't want that to be my father's legacy." "Or mine." "Some things are better left undiscovered." "I can think of at least one." "Adam, you think the world'll ever see that thing again?" "Well, it'll be a couple of years of global warming before that glacier melts, and hopefully by that time people will have evolved enough to be able to handle whatever the protocanth can throw at them." "They'll never be able to deal with it." "It'll get free and it'll keep killing." "We don't know that." "I know it." "Look, emma, i know that you connected with this thing on some level..." "i knew, and you should've trusted me." "We will next time." "Yeah." "Well, next time i won't give you a choice."
