- [Automated Voice] Warning,
duo tangent signitialization
T minus one hour and counting.
Warning, surface level,
main door opening.
(dramatic music)
- Well, they really know how
to roll out the red carpet.
- Secretary Kenmore,
Alexander Summerfield.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
We don't often get VIP visitors.
- No problem, Dr. Summerfield,
I'm sure you've got your hands full.
- All the time, this way please.
- [Automated Voice] Warning, duo tangent's
T minus 30 minutes and counting.
All personnel, we are at DTI level four.
- Spectacular. Isn't it?
- Very expensive.
(Alexander chuckles)
- Well, the difference
between this facility
and its predecessor is that, here,
every environmental and
mechanical function is governed
by the computer.
- [Automated Voice] IDOT technical crew
to level 13 prep room.
(computer beeping)
Diverting all power to spatial interface.
Reactor at maximum.
(computer beeping)
- This facility has 13 levels.
Now this, is level one.
Now here, we can generate
a neutrino-rich proton beam
that can travel the speed of light,
allowing for interdimensional
bilocation or dual tangents.
- [Automated Voice] Snow,
a natural phenomenon,
the crystalline form of water
in a lattice structure.
- If I wanted to live
in a greeting card, I
wouldn't be here, would I?
- [Automated Voice] The reflective quality
of its structure gives
snow its uniqueness.
Take a moment to enjoy its beauty.
(crowd chattering)
(machines whirring)
Warning, all personnel,
we are at DTI level four.
(machines whirring)
Although depressurization is controlled,
you may experience some discomfort.
This feeling will dissipate shortly.
- I know it's no secret
to you, Dr. Summerfield,
that I don't share my
predecessor's enthusiasm
for the Nexus program.
- [Automated Voice] 100
meters below surface level.
- Well, Bob, can I call you Bob?
- Sure.
- Maybe your mind will be changed.
Well, you know, being
a participatory witness
to scientific history in about 15 minutes.
- As long as it's the kind of history
that we all like to remember
and not another fiasco
like there was in Texas.
- [Automated Voice] 300
meters below surface level.
- Same old stuff, huh?
Can't get over Texas, huh?
You know, well, this is not a reflection
on the Nexus program
what happened in Texas.
That was caused by one deviant man
who never should have held
a position of authority.
- [Automated Voice] 600
meters below surface level.
- I think we have better things to do
with taxpayers' money than to attempt
to transport personnel
in a parallel universe.
The word ludicrous.
(elevator clicking)
- [Automated Voice] Warning,
duo tangent precheck complete.
All systems go.
(computers beeping)
- Emma, can I bum a cigarette?
- You don't smoke.
- Here. I do today.
(lighter flicking)
Here goes everything.
- Bring power grid to maximum.
(tense music)
- Error. Warning.
(alarm beeping)
- [Julie] Has this just come up?
- Error. Warning.
- Yeah, probably interference
on two.
- Error. Warning.
- Try rerouting the circuit.
- [Automated Voice] Error. Warning, error.
(alarm beeping)
- There.
- That's my baby.
- Julie?
Dr. Casserly.
Julie, this is Defense Secretary Kenmore.
- The man who wants to shut us down.
How do you do?
- We're almost ready to go?
- Curtain's about to go up.
- We'll go in the back.
Over here, we actually have (indistinct).
- Hopefully not our final curtain.
- [Automated Voice] Warning,
IDOT personnel proceed
to decon level 13.
(dramatic music)
- Primary magnetic coils to absolute zero.
Now.
- [Automated Voice] Scanning.
- Prepare for final countdown.
(dramatic music)
- [Automated Voice] Dual
tangent vortex established.
(dramatic music)
(camera beeping)
(dramatic music)
- 20 seconds to initial.
- [Automated Voice] Warning,
rerouting electron flow
in seven.
- Emma, how are the ECGs?
- A little fast, but okay.
- Marshall? Give me a shot
of Hoffman and Dawson.
- [Automated Voice] Spatial
interface T minus 10 seconds.
- 10, nine, eight,
seven, six, five,
four, three,
two, one.
We have duo tangents.
(dramatic music)
(electricity buzzing)
(computer beeping)
(machine humming)
(computer beeping)
(dramatic music)
- That's my baby.
(static buzzing)
Okay. We've lost visuals.
Let me hear your voices.
Let me hear your voice.
Hoffman, you there?
Hoffman, you there?
- Affirmative.
We're here, wherever that is.
We're here, wherever that is.
- It sounds like he's having
a helium party.
- Any visual contact yet?
- No.
- Mark? Yet Mark?
Marshall, we're experiencing
retro doppler effect.
Wait a few seconds before replying.
- Good.
- Okay.
- Hoffman?
I'm expanding the spatial cortex by 10%.
- [Automated Voice] Duo
tangent cortex increased 10%.
- What's going on?
Why don't we have any visuals here?
- [Julie] Jedburg,
shouldn't we have visuals?
- They should be coming in now.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
(Hoffman exclaims)
(dramatic music)
- [Hoffman] Marshall, you getting this?
(dramatic music)
- [Marshall] Look at that.
- Marshall, it's Summerfield.
What the hell is that thing?
- [Marshall] Something on the
horizon, spherical shapes.
They're large, but I
can't judge the distance.
- [Hoffman] We're looking
at a sphere the size of a,
- Proceed with caution.
Proceed with caution.
- [Hoffman] Monitor's seeing.
(dramatic music)
(static buzzing)
- [Marshall] What's that?
- [Hoffman] Much clearer now.
- High alpha wave activity.
- Dawson, what's going on?
Dawson, what's going on?
- [Marshall] Nothing was wrong.
Nothing is wrong. Let's proceed.
- Respiration is getting faster.
- Back off from it.
Back off until we can scan it.
(static buzzing)
Hoffman, do you copy?
- The monitoring systems are down.
- [Alexander] Well get 'em back.
- Hoffman? Anyone?
What are you seeing?
Get back to the embarkation
zone. Go to procedure eight.
- Procedure eight.
- What the hell is going on here?
- Reset embarkation coordinates to maximum
and reinitialize duo tangents.
- Get it back.
- Ford, can you speed this thing up?
We gotta lose a few more degrees.
(machines humming)
(computer beeping)
(tense music)
- [Automated Voice]
Scanning for IDOT personnel.
Scanning.
(computer beeping)
Scanning.
(static buzzing)
(tense music)
Scan negative. Scan negative.
(machine humming)
(tense music)
- No.
We have to send in a
rescue team immediately.
- [Julie] And risk
losing more lives, Alex?
- [Alexander] We don't know they're dead!
- Maybe you've misplaced them
in this parallel universe.
Is that it?
- Excuse me?
Secretary, they have 12 hours of oxygen.
If they are alive,
we can send in a strike force team in two.
- Oh, come on Alex.
Sending guns and soldiers
is not gonna solve anything.
- What would you recommend, Dr. Casserly?
- I think we should bring
Shepherd in on this.
- Shepherd?
- Shepherd.
- So he can blow up this facility,
like he did the one in Texas?
- Dr. Shepherd is practically
the father of Nexus.
He knows the nuts and bolts
about how this facility runs
better than you and I do, Alex.
- We are wasting our time here, Secretary.
- He is the only one that has gone
to the other side and returned.
- Oh, maybe they should have
given the sick bastard a medal.
- Maybe you should let go of
your vendetta against him.
- Oh, you're God damn right
I got a vendetta against him.
Eight years of my life?
And research, down the that tubes,
because of your deranged lover boy.
They used to fuck in case you
haven't read the dossiers.
- My private life is none of your business
and has nothing to do
with this conversation!
I have no doubt
that Shepherd can bring
our people back alive.
They were sent to the same coordinates
that Shepherd was sent to three years ago.
- [Kenmore] Will Shepherd help?
- Yes, he'll help, if I ask him.
- Ron Shepherd is not
coming into my facility.
- That's not your decision
to make, Dr. Summerfield.
You can have Shepherd,
but I'm holding you
responsible for his actions.
- (laughing) I don't believe this.
- In the meantime, a strike
team will get here ASAP.
I expect, doctors, that
you work together on this.
If your explorers don't
make it back alive,
Nexus is terminated.
Terminated!
(helicopter humming)
- They've landed.
(helicopter humming)
- Here.
- That's fine, Dr. Casserly.
(dog barking)
(birds chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
- [Julie] Shepherd?
(footsteps thudding)
(birds chirping)
- Julie?
It's been a long time.
Something I can do for you?
- I'm a little embarrassed to say this.
We need you, Shepherd.
(Shepherd laughing)
Look, I know it hasn't been easy for you.
- Well, you know, going from
being a director of Nexus,
to a third rate gardener,
it hasn't been easy.
- Yes. Well, you created this situation.
- I did what had to be done.
- And why did it have to be done?
Three years and you're
still not talking about it.
You could have at least
explained it to me.
If you had,
then maybe I wouldn't
have given up on you.
- Something's gone wrong, huh, Julie?
(helicopter humming)
- [Pilot] Charlie Golf Hotel to Control.
Picked up personnel, returning to Nexus.
(helicopter humming)
(dramatic music)
- Tell me how this transporter
of yours works, doctor.
- Well, biomagnetic flux,
by altering your body structure,
you can exist within a parallel world.
- No shit.
- Like I said, it's been tested
and it's perfectly safe for humans.
- Hey, that leaves you out, Mancini.
- Now there'll be a Dr.
Shepherd arriving here.
I do not want you to trust
or take orders from him.
Is that understood? Any questions?
- Yeah. What aren't you telling us?
- What do you mean?
- An experiment like this
is pretty off the wall.
Things go wrong, get covered up.
- Colonel McShane, something happened
to three of my colleagues
and they have about eight
hours of oxygen left.
Now, unless you have anything pertinent,
I suggest you all get on with it.
All right?
- Sure.
Just don't bullshit me.
- Good luck.
(footsteps tapping)
(crowd chattering)
- [Mancini] So what? That's
all I got for 50 bucks?
Is this gonna hurt?
- Up with the sleeve.
- I didn't get much
sleep last night though.
Do you think you could just start up
with a little bit of something, please?
- I could teach you how to
energize yourself, Mancini.
But you're like the rest of society.
You want some drug or some machine
to solve your problems for you
- You're done.
- No, it's called progress, Zunoski,
and maybe one day, you'll learn to,
- Just stow it and get dressed.
- Hi.
- Hi.
(glass clinking)
- What's your name?
- Lisa.
- Hi, Lisa.
I was wondering if you could
maybe take a look at my knee.
I screwed it up in a
parachute drop over Panama.
- I don't have time right now.
(cotton rustling)
You're done.
(bottle clicking)
- [Automated Voice] Level 10.
- Are you feeling a little deja vu?
It's the same layout as Texas.
(footsteps tapping)
(contemplative music)
- I thought our country was bankrupt.
- Not when it comes to defense.
(phone ringing)
- [Alexander] We have an error on four.
- [Automated Voice] Error,
error. Vortex infiltrated.
- Okay, clear con.
Let's wipe it at two,
nine, two, nine, one.
(crowd chattering)
(machines whirring)
Five, four and three, and monitor B?
Go to clear scan.
Go to six.
- Hello, Alex.
- Thought I'd seen the
last of you, Shepherd.
- Well, I was of the notion
that you took from me.
- What's happening level five?
Don't flatter yourself.
- Level five's clear.
- The defense secretary thinks
that you could be of some help,
but since I've been overruled,
I set up an office for you on the surface.
- And what good can he do
us on the surface, Alex?
- I refuse to have my facility jeopardized
by some wild maniac on the loose.
- I wasn't aware this was your facility.
Mortgage must be a bitch.
- Look, if we can't get
Dawson and the others back,
then there's not going to be a Nexus.
- Primary magnetic coils at minus 240.
- What?
What's going on here?
You have no right to engage
duo tangents when I'm not here.
- I'm scanning for my people
and if I can't bring them back,
I'm bringing in strike force.
- Alex, we work together.
You know what the defense secretary said.
- Well, the secretary
isn't here any longer.
- Please send Dr. Shepherd to the surface.
- Shepherd stays!
- Go to B six.
- And I'm gonna call the Pentagon
and bring a shitstorm down upon your head
and don't think I won't do it, Alex.
- You've certainly gotten
saltier since I've been away.
- Yes. Well, I've had to fend for myself.
- Julie?
Check the ECG monitor.
- [Automated Voice]
Warning, life form detected.
- Only one person detected.
- It's Marshall.
- Where the hell are the others?
- [Automated Voice] Scanning.
- 10, nine, eight,
seven, six, five,
four, three,
- Come on.
- Two,
one, we have dual tangents.
(machine humming)
- Come on.
(machine humming)
- I'm going down there.
- Airlock area on standby.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Decon procedure six now in effect.
(tense music)
- [Alexander] Take her helmet off.
- What?
- I said, take it off.
- Take it off?
- What's wrong with you, man? Do it.
(helmet clacking)
- She's alive.
- [Hoffman] Looking at
a sphere the size of a,
the size of a,
- [Julie] Proceed with caution.
Proceed with caution.
- [Hoffman] But to proceed.
(computer beeping)
(static buzzing)
Much clearer now.
- [Emma] High alpha wave activity.
- [Julie] Dawson, what's going on?
Dawson, what's going on?
- [Marshall] Nothing's
wrong. Nothing's wrong.
Let's proceed.
(static buzzing)
- [Emma] Respiration is getting faster.
- [Alexander] Back off from it.
Back up till we can scan it.
- What the hell is that?
- [Alexander] Back off
till we can scan it.
That's what you're going to find out.
Hoffman, do you copy?
- Colonel?
- Systems are down.
- [Shepherd] I'd strongly
advise you not to go.
- Shepherd, you're out of here now.
- Why is that, Dr. Shepherd?
- Because Shepherd's been there.
That's why he's here, Alex.
- [McShane] What do
you know, Dr. Shepherd?
I'm not taking my men
into an unknown situation.
What can I expect?
- Trouble.
- McShane, get your men ready, let's go.
(footsteps tapping)
- I put my ass on the
line for you, Shepherd.
Don't make me regret it.
(machine beeping)
(footsteps tapping)
- Marshall? It's Dr. Summerfield.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, Marshall?
(machine beeping)
Wow.
(machine beeping)
Well, well, how are you?
Can you remember what happened, Marshall?
Do you remember what happened to Hoffman?
(wound squelching)
(Marshall grunting)
Damn it!
(Marshall screaming)
Marshall!
Stop it.
Damn it. Stop it, Marshall.
What happened to Hoffman and Dawson?
Marshall, what happened
to Hoffman and Dawson?
- [Lisa] She's in shock.
(metal clattering)
- I don't want you to sedate
her until I get some answers.
- If I don't keep her alive,
you'll never get any answers.
- Damn it.
(machine beeping)
(syringe clinking)
(razor scratching)
- There was a lot of condensation
inside Marshall's suit.
My guess is oxygen deprivation.
- The oxygen imbalance
hasn't been affected.
With oxygen starvation,
she'd have been dead a long time ago.
- Where are we?
(paper rustling)
- Five minutes and counting.
- This is too fucking weird, man.
I ain't ready for this Buck Rogers shit.
- Can I get a Polaroid of this?
Something to show the girls back home.
- No photographs allowed.
(gentle music)
(machine beeping)
(ominous music)
(machine beeping)
- Stop him!
- Get away from her!
- What the hell do you think
you're doing, Shepherd?
(foot smacking)
(syringe clattering)
Jesus Christ. Son of a bitch.
(camera buzzing)
- What's the holdup?
- [Lab Tech] We're on standby.
I'm waiting for instructions.
- Can I get something to read down here?
There's a copy of ET in my bag.
- You want a fun one?
- We got time for a smoke or what?
- Don't worry, Baines.
They got nicotine built
into the oxygen pack.
- These should hold you.
(handcuffs clinking)
- You don't understand.
- I understand perfectly.
If Marshall lives, you're
not the only person
to come back from the other side,
and you,
you can talk to anybody
you like at the Pentagon,
because after today, you're gone.
Oh, by the way, there's no room service.
(machine beeping)
(ominous music)
All right, listen up. We're gonna do this.
Restart the countdown.
- Recommencing countdown procedure.
(machine beeping)
(ominous music)
(Marshall gasps)
(wound squelching)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Warning, biohazard contamination
on level three.
- Campbell,
what the hell is that?
What is that?
- Emma? What am I looking at on one?
- [Automated Voice] Warning, warning.
- It's Marshall.
(ominous music)
(computer beeping)
- Jesus Christ, it is Marshall.
- Something's wrong.
(Marshall screaming)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Please evacuate to surface immediately.
All grade B and C personnel,
please evacuate to surface immediately.
Engage in containment
procedure three now in effect.
All grade B and C personnel,
(Marshall screaming)
please evacuate to the
surface immediately.
- Damn it!
(dramatic music)
(Marshall screaming)
(wound squelching)
(Marshall screaming)
(creature screeching)
(dramatic music)
(wound squelching)
(machine beeping)
- [Automated Voice] Warning,
level three west secured.
- Can we override containment?
- I don't know,
but I can open the bulkhead door.
- What's this about evacuation?
- Colonel McShane, you and
your men can stand down.
We've had to postpone telemetry.
- Not happy, boys.
(computer beeping)
- [Mancini] I don't trust
that sack of shit, Colonel.
- For once, you're right, Mancini.
I checked out Summerfield's aura.
He's a sick man.
- Anyone here?
(footsteps tapping)
(phone beeping)
(phone ringing)
- [Lisa] Control, this is Dr. Myers.
What's going on?
- Myers? It's Summerfield.
- You in green west?
- Yes, in Jedburg's office.
- What's your status?
- Everyone else seems to have made it out.
- Well, stay right there.
We're on our way up.
- Okay.
(light buzzing)
(ominous music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Decontamination procedure four activated.
Level three west.
- Find anything?
- No, nothing. How about you?
- No, nothing.
- Let's keep going.
(footsteps rustling)
(door whirring)
- Summerfield?
Summerfield?
Can anyone hear me?
- What the tricks to go for power here?
- Mancini, come with me.
- Hey, hair trigger.
Try not to shoot any friends.
(Mancini speaks indistinctly)
- Hold down the fort, Zunoski.
- Where you going?
Oh, let me guess. Sick bay.
- [Baines] I'm ailing, private.
- She's probably evacuated.
- [Baines] Not without saying goodbye.
- Don't forget to ask her
to check out your prostate.
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
- Christ Almighty.
(helmet clattering)
(Alexander panting)
(door whirring)
- Oh sweet Jesus.
(ominous music)
- This is absolute dehydration.
It takes years for a
body to reach this state.
- [Julie] And there's no
sign of any significant heat,
but this has to be some
form of combustion.
- Odorless. Maybe some
form of a nerve agents?
- [Julie] Well, some of the
test animals received burn.
But that was radiance, this is,
- Unreal.
- No, it's real, and we're
going to keep it quiet.
- Marshall is dead. We have
to notify surface control.
- Do that, and they'll cancel the rescue.
No rescue, no Nexus.
- [Julie] Rescuing Marshall
didn't do her any good, did it?
- There's no rescue right now anyway.
Telemetry has been discontinued
unless we can convince
the computer otherwise.
Are you all right, Alex?
- Yes, I'm fine.
Now curtain off this area
and secure it when you leave.
(ominous music)
(curtain rod clattering)
(pills clattering)
(Alexander gulps)
- [Jedburg] Julie, look at this.
(curtain rod clattering)
- Look.
- What the hell happened to the grate?
- I'm gonna get Ford.
(microscope clicking)
(magical music)
(ominous music)
(particles scraping)
(chair creaking)
(ominous music)
(creature screeching)
- Lieutenant.
- I'm sorry, Lisa. I gotta
keep my chops up, you know?
Escape and evasion.
- What are you escaping from?
- Well, how about the boredom
of a felled up operation?
- So where's the pain?
- It's more of an ache, actually.
(lips smacking)
- Ford?
Ford.
(ominous music)
- Wait, wait.
Someone could come in.
- Go lock the door.
- Prepare to be examined.
(shirt rustling)
(footsteps tapping)
(door beeping)
You can only scare me once.
(keys clattering)
- Lisa?
(ominous music)
Lisa?
(ominous music)
(creature snarling)
(ominous music)
(creature screeching)
- Emergency.
Biotech level two west.
Emergency, biotech level two west.
(alarm beeping)
(footsteps tapping)
(creature screeching)
(gunshots blasting)
- [Shepherd] Did it start?
- Yeah.
(footsteps tapping)
You're not crazy, are you?
- Eccentric, maybe.
Crazy, no.
- Why couldn't you have told me, Shepherd?
- Would you have believed me?
- No.
I guess, not without proof.
(handcuffs clattering)
- Exactly.
That's why I destroyed Nexus,
so nobody else could go.
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(heart beating)
(bed creaking)
(footsteps tapping)
(pills clattering)
(machines whirring)
(door whirring)
(handcuffs clacking)
- [McShane] Is this everyone?
- Yes.
Everyone else has been evacuated or,
- Dr. Shepherd?
I guess we now know why you
blew up the Texas facility.
- [Shepherd] That's right.
- What about Hoffman? What about Dawson?
- Hoffman and Dawson are dead.
So are Marshall, Ford and Dr. Myers.
One hell of a body count, Alex.
- [McShane] What is it we're up against?
- Well, I can tell you
it's some sort of life form
that have a taste for human beings.
- (laughing) You should have
run off when everyone else did.
- Look, can we please get on with this?
There's a killer loose
and we don't even know what it looks like.
Now, may I begin?
- [Alexander] Please.
- These air vents connect
every room on every level
with a pair of vertical
shafts that rise all the way
to surface level here and here.
McShane, can you get your
men into these shafts
and seal up the,
- [Shepherd] We have to assume it can move
wherever it wants.
- Then let's get the hell out of here.
- You know this thing could
be listening to us right now.
- Do you think it's intelligent?
- I have to get clear on something.
Nobody here wants to keep this thing alive
out of scientific interest.
- No.
Don't you think we should
evacuate to surface?
- As soon as reinforcements arrive.
- Oh, there are no reinforcements coming.
- [McShane] What?
- Alex?
You haven't notified the surface?
- No.
We're going to clean
our own dirty laundry.
- Now your dirty laundry
is trying to kill us.
Can I get through on this phone?
- [Julie] Yes. It's the one.
- It's dead.
- Warning.
The Nexus facility has been
contaminated on all levels.
Emergency containment
procedure one now in effect.
Nexus will be biosealed
in T minus one minute
and counting.
Thank you for your observance.
- It's locking us in.
- What about the freight elevators?
- I think everything is down.
- The vehicles.
Baines, follow me.
(dramatic music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Freight elevator shaft now closing.
(dramatic music)
(alarm blaring)
- It's locking us in.
I said it's locking us in!
(alarm blaring)
Come on!
(dramatic music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
- Let's go!
- Please stand clear.
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(computer beeping)
- Silver bullet, hey, kemo sabe?
- You got it, Zunoski.
Talking power here.
If I can just feed this
to the son of a bitch,
we'll all see Christmas.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Decontamination procedure
one now in effect.
Radioactive flush in T minus
six hours and counting.
- All the primary sensors
have been tripped.
At least the computer thinks they have.
- It seems we have a total contamination.
So it's gonna flood Nexus with
a lethal dose of radiation.
- But you can stop it, right?
- What do you think I'm trying to do?
- This thing is trying to kill us all.
If we don't get our asses in gear,
it's gonna succeed.
(door whirring)
- Put away the gun, you imbecile.
We're not at war here.
- The hell we're not.
- [Alexander] What we got?
- Okay, here we go. Okay.
Each one of these points
represents a contaminated area.
Now, if I superimpose a sensor grid,
we find something very odd.
Now, if there was
contamination in the air,
every sensor would be tripped.
But it's every third sensor,
whichever direction you go.
It's very methodical.
- We need to speed it up, Alex,
or we'll never be able
to override the termination procedure.
- Total containment requires 20 sensors
to be activated.
- Be activated.
This thing's gotta be one of them.
- Damn right it does.
- That means,
if every sensor's been overwritten,
there's a glitch in the computer.
- I'm in charge.
I'm in charge.
This is now a combat operation.
- Well, then why don't you
get up off your big butt
and start combating?
- I warned you to cut the
bullshit, Summerfield.
As of now, any authority
you had is null and void.
- I have something to say.
There's enough of us in this room
to have three parties searching
on three different levels.
So let's get it together, guys.
(dramatic music)
We're in position now. Level yellow, 504.
- 504.
Check.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps thudding)
Shepherd?
- [Shepherd] 441.
- You're warm.
You're about two sections
away from whatever it is.
(dramatic music)
- [McShane] Where are
these damn section numbers?
(dramatic music)
(metal clanging)
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
- What was that?
- Nothing, man. It's nothing.
It's just this place.
- I swear to God. I
heard something, Colonel.
- You sure?
- (speaking foreign language)
I heard something, Colonel.
- Watch my back.
(computer beeping)
- Jedburg.
- Hi, Alex.
- How's it going?
- Good.
(dramatic music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in T minus
five hours and counting.
Thank you for your observance.
(dramatic music)
- My intuition tells me that our chances
of getting outta here are slim to none.
What do you think?
- I hope your intuition's wrong
because I'm not ready to die yet.
- Dying's not so bad.
We'll be back in a new
body before you know it.
- Yeah, well, I just
got this one in shape.
(dramatic music)
- I don't think the
contractors left this here.
Jedburg, we found something.
Exterior appears to be nonporous.
Looks as if it's made
of some kind of alloy.
- You mean like a canister?
- Yeah, but it would appear it's organic.
(creature breathing)
(dramatic music)
(gun clicking)
- Chill out, Baines.
(footsteps thudding)
What'd you guys find?
- I don't know what the hell it is.
- Well, we know what it's been eating.
(gear clattering)
Jesus. Stupid joke.
Bad taste, I'm sorry.
- Hey, knock it off, the both of you.
We got better things to do.
- Look, let's break it up.
- Come on, move it!
(ominous music)
(gun clicking)
- You see anything, Sergeant,
you blow the hell out of it.
Worry about what it was later.
- Got it, Colonel.
Anything I see is history.
- Let's go.
(ominous music)
(creature screeching)
(gunshots blasting)
- That's Mancini.
- Zunoski, get your ass back here.
- I'm going up.
- Where the hell is Baines?
- Don't know, not here.
- Look, you go back to control.
- [Julie] Yeah, what about Mancini?
- [Shepherd] We'll deal with it.
(gunshots blasting)
(dramatic music)
- [Shepherd] Jedburg, we found it.
(water trickling)
(dramatic music)
- Mancini!
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(water trickling)
- I am still in shock, man.
- Could've been worse.
Seen what that thing could do.
(body thudding)
(ominous music)
- So what do we do now?
- I suggest we get the hell outta here.
(creature screeching)
(ominous music)
(footsteps tapping)
- Shit.
Okay?
Okay?
Come on. Let's get out here.
Come on.
- What the hell happened?
Mancini? Mancini?
(ominous music)
Get your head outta there!
(ominous music)
(creature snarling)
(glass shattering)
(creature breathing)
(Shepherd grunts)
(gunshots blasting)
- It's too close!
It's too close to him.
- No!
- Come on.
(Julie shouting)

- [Mancini] Did we nail him?
- [Shepherd] Maybe.
- [Jedburg] My sensor board is lighting up
like a Christmas tree, must be the gas.
- Get this damn door open.
We're trapped in here.
- Alex?
I need to open 320.
They're trapped in there.
- How many sensors do you have working?
- I'm not really sure.
- Sure. I'll see what I can do.
(computer beeping)
Hello, Shepherd. It's Alex.
Look, I want to help,
but you know containment is
only possible at ground level.
- Alex, we've got one dead, one injured,
and we're suffocating in gas.
- [Alexander] Dead?
- Yes, dead! Now get
the god damn doors open.
- There's an emergency
maintenance hatch in the air shaft
next to 402 section on level green.
And this thing assures me
it can be opened manually.
- Come on.
(footsteps clattering)
- Yeah, it should be able
to be opened manually.
- [Automated Voice]
Warning, radioactive flush
in T minus four hours and counting.
Thank you for your observance.
(footsteps clattering)
(electricity crackling)
- It's been here recently.
(metal clattering)
Come on, this way.
- [Julie] We're in the shaft now.
- [Jedburg] It's still a way off.
- Oh shit, man. It's still alive.
- [Jedburg] You're closer to
the emergency door than it is.
- He hasn't seen that mother move.
- [Jedburg] The door is
40 meters in front of you.
- Come on, let's go.
(footsteps clattering)
- Here.
This might be more prudent.
- [Julie] We're at the hatch now.
- Whatever this thing
is, it's closing in fast.
(dramatic music)
- It's two seven code.
What's the access code?
- [Jedburg] Zero, zero,
three, zero, zero, four, one.
(panel beeping)
- It's not accepting.
- Let me check it.
Now the code's correct.
- I can hear it.
- Listen, we should go
back to the corridor.
We are trapped here.
- Zunoski's gonna slow us down.
- Listen, man, I'm in charge now
and I can be,
- Stop killing yourselves!
(dramatic music)
- What's the prefix?
Before an area was contained,
there was more numbers.
- [Jedburg] This thing doesn't
look as if it's stopping.
(panel clattering)
- You're trifling, you son of a bitch.
- Come on!
- Jedburg?
Do you think that it's wise of us to try
and help open this door?
- Alex, what the hell
are you talking about?
- Well,
we're containing something
that's extremely dangerous.
Isn't that right?
- Yeah.
- Jedburg, wouldn't it be better
if we kept this thing safely confined?
- That asshole.
- I have to do some work.
Something's come up on the monitor.
That thing's in the air shaft with you.
(dramatic music)
- Come on, guys. Take it back.
- What are waiting for, man?
(explosion popping)
Yes!
(lips smacking)
- [Mancini] There is a god.
- [Zunoski] Come on. Go, go, go, go, go.
Come on.
Come on. Move it.
- Go!
(creature squelching)
(dramatic music)
(computer beeping)
(metal knocking)
- Shit.
- Lower me down.
Come on. Only got three hours.
- What's down there? I can't see.
(metal knocking)
(ominous music)
(fan spinning)
(ominous music continues)
(ladder clacking)
- Come on, Mancini, move it!
- I just, I just need some time.
- [Baines] One hand over the other, man.
What the fuck are you doing, man?
Come on!
- I need time.
- Let chance, Mancini.
Above you.
(ominous music)
Come on!
(creature snarling)
Clear!
(gunshots blasting)
(creature screeching)
Mancini!
Throw it.
(creature screeching)
(fire whooshing)
(body thudding)
(fan spinning)
(door whirring)
(computer beeping)
- Summerfield?
Got something for you.
(fist smacking)
(Alexander groaning)
Not wise to open the door?
Lost two friends in there.
- Baines, that's enough.
- Damn it.
- Jedburg!
Put this man under arrest.
You animal!
- [Shepherd] Baines. Baines?
I need you to set out a perimeter.
- Can do.
I'm just up here giving my
last respects to the doctor.
- It's General Shepherd
now, is it, Baines?
What's the matter?
Haven't you vanquished the beast?
- Maybe you should hold your
sarcasm for later, doctor.
I'll be back.
(pair breathing)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in T minus three hours
and counting.
- Time to pick sides, man.
- [Automated Voice] Thank
you for your observance.
(ominous music)
(brush scraping)
- God damn it, Shepherd.
- Hey, Julie. Didn't mean to scare you.
You're looking good. (laughing)
I missed you.
- I missed you.
(lips smacking)
You know, I was thinking,
now that that thing is dead,
I'd like to get some
samples of its tissue.
(Shepherd sighs)
- Julie, when are you gonna
quit being such a scientist?
- [Julie] That's all I know anymore.
- You're so different now.
You never would've stood
up to Summerfield before.
- Then what's with this gun?
The creature's dead.
It went through the fan blades.
- I don't think so.
He's still out there.
- [Baines] I was outta
line back there, Zunoski.
- Don't worry about it, Baines.
- This is gonna do it.
- Dream on.
- No, man.
If I can get close enough
to it with enough C-4,
I know that I can blow this
thing to shit, Zunoski.
- Yeah, but who'd wanna get that close?
- [Baines] Did you tell Summerfield
where we were putting these explosives?
- Yeah.
- Too bad.
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
(Alexander coughing and grunting)
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(Alexander groaning)
(Alexander coughing and wheezing)
(Alexander moaning)
(glass shattering)
- We've been overlooking something.
We have to find out what this thing wants.
- Listen, I saw what it
did to Mancini and Lisa.
I think it's pretty clear what it wants.
- It's collecting information.
It already knows the location
of every crucial point in Nexus.
- Why would it wanna get us shutdown?
- [Shepherd] Because it
needs time to acclimatize.
Time to find its strength.
- It wants to get out. Right?
- We have to presume it
wants to do that. Yes.
- We have to contact surface control,
so they can override.
- We're sealed in, Shepherd.
- Why can't we use the walkie talkies?
- Well, there's a body
of iron ore between us
and the surface.
Radio waves won't pass through that.
- Yeah, you're right.
That's why we gotta find
our own way through.
- We have to climb all the way up there?
(Jedburg sighs)
- The elevator's 500 meters above us.
You'll have to blow your way
through the bottom hatch.
- [Shepherd] Then climb through the top,
get the hell up to the surface.
- That's another 300 meters.
- Plus the shaft isn't air conditioned.
It's probably 120 degrees in there.
- All right.
- I'm gonna need your help.
- But Baines can't go
alone. He needs backup.
(ominous music)
- You're packing enough C-4 to
blow the World Trade Center.
- I was a Boy Scout, Zunoski.
I like to be prepared.
(Baines panting)
- Watch your ass, Lieutenant.
- See you later, buddy.
(door whirring)
- I'm gonna work on the computer.
Maybe we can override this irradiation.
- And this is secure?
- Yes.
- And you sure you wanna do this?
- Well, somebody's gotta do it.
Let's do it.
- All right.
(gear clacking)
Yee-haw.

Jedburg, how's it going?
- I haven't been so scared since
the IRS knocked on my door.
(computer beeping)
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
- Jesus!
Dr. Casserly, don't scare me that way.
- You know,
I can't.
- Don't worry about it.
Look, we're really easy to tell apart.
See, it's got a much nicer haircut than I.
(Julie laughing)
Have a sandwich.
- Oh boy.
- They're good for you.
- You're funny. Thanks.
(gear clacking)
- Shepherd, I've reached
the bottom of the elevator.
I'm gonna set some charges
and I'm gonna blow this hatch.
Your man Jedburg, looks
like he's more at home
with his computers.
(gear clacking)
(bomb beeping)
(Baines panting)
(gear clacking)
(ominous music)
Shepherd? I'm ready to blow the hatch.
- [Zunoski] Shepherd, any
luck with the override?
- Not yet.
- Jedburg! Move your ass,
I'm blowing this thing.
(gear clacking)
(explosion blasting)
(Jedburg coughing)
(creature hissing)
(Jedburg screaming)
(body thudding)
(Baines panting)
(gear clacking)
Shepherd?
Jedburg must have slipped.
- Say again.
- Jedburg fell.
He's dead. The hatch must have hit him.
- Where exactly are you?
- I'm in the elevator.
This gear's just too heavy
to hump another 300 meters.
I'm leaving it here. Over.
(Baines panting)
(bag thudding)
Damn it.

(door whirring)
(footsteps tapping)
- Well, it's too bad that Baines
and Jedburg couldn't make it.
But it's so nice of you to join us, Alex.
- You still feeling sick, Alex?
(Alexander coughing)
- I think I've developed a stomach ulcer.
- Whole wheat cracker?
They're good for the stomach.
- What happened to your neck?
- What?
- [Shepherd] You heard
me, you son of a bitch.
- I scalded it.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in minus one hour and counting.
Thank you for your observance.
- We only have an hour left, Shepherd.
Aren't you gonna save us?
(Alexander sighs)
I've gotta go to my room.
Don't bother to wake me when it's over.
(door whirring)
(computer beeping)
- Take a look at this.

he said he scalded himself.

- Thank you

(door whirring)
- Alex?
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
- I suggest we blow his god damn head off.
- Can't do that.
He's probably like a ripe poppy,
filled with seeds.
- And they'll stay in his
body as long as he's alive.
- [Zunoski] That's just
too much. Gimme a break.
- Oh, come on, Zunoski.
Don't you understand?
Alex is already dead.
- You two find Summerfield.
I'm going back for the gun.
(ominous music)
(footsteps thudding)
- Alex?
Alex, are you in here?
- Yeah.
Julie.
- Hi Alex.
- I'm listening.
- We just engaged duo tangents, Alex.
Hoffman and Marshall are
in the embarkation zone right now.
They're waiting for you.
- They're asking for you, Alex.
- They're in there right now, Alex.
I swear to God.
- They're dead.
- No, they're not dead.
They're in there. We just came from there.
I'm asking for your
help. You're my partner.
- Look, let's can the bullshit.
Summerfield,
- Don't move!
(gunshot blasting)
- No!
(Zunoski groaning)
Alex,
- I told him not to move, Julie.
- I know, I know.
Put the gun down, Alex.
Yeah. Put the gun down.
Just, that's right.
That's right.
Alex, what's happening to you?
- (grunting) Die now!
(Alexander groaning)
(creature snarling)
- Julie, get outta there.

Alexander Summerfield.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
We don't often get VIP visitors.
- No problem, Dr. Summerfield,
I'm sure you've got your hands full.
- All the time, this way please.
- [Automated Voice] Warning, duo tangent's
T minus 30 minutes and counting.
All personnel, we are at DTI level four.
- Spectacular. Isn't it?
- Very expensive.
(Alexander chuckles)
- Well, the difference
between this facility
and its predecessor is that, here,
every environmental and
mechanical function is governed
by the computer.
- [Automated Voice] IDOT technical crew

Diverting all power to spatial interface.
Reactor at maximum.

Now this, is level one.
Now here, we can generate
a neutrino-rich proton beam
that can travel the speed of light,
allowing for interdimensional
bilocation or dual tangents.
- [Automated Voice] Snow,
a natural phenomenon,
the crystalline form of water

snow its uniqueness.
Take a moment to enjoy its beauty.

Warning, all personnel,
we are at DTI level four.

Although depressurization is controlled,
you may experience some discomfort.
This feeling will dissipate shortly.

to you, Dr. Summerfield,
that I don't share my
predecessor's enthusiasm
for the Nexus program.
- [Automated Voice] 100
meters below surface level.
- Well, Bob, can I call you Bob?
- Sure.
- Maybe your mind will be changed.
Well, you know, being
a participatory witness
to scientific history in about 15 minutes.
- As long as it's the kind of history
that we all like to remember
and not another fiasco
like there was in Texas.
- [Automated Voice] 300
meters below surface level.
- Same old stuff, huh?
Can't get over Texas, huh?
You know, well, this is not a reflection
on the Nexus program
what happened in Texas.
That was caused by one deviant man
who never should have held
a position of authority.
- [Automated Voice] 600
meters below surface level.
- I think we have better things to do
with taxpayers' money than to attempt
to transport personnel
in a parallel universe.
The word ludicrous.

Dr. Casserly.
Julie, this is Defense Secretary Kenmore.

We're here, wherever that is.
We're here, wherever that is.
- It sounds like he's having

- Any visual contact yet?
- No.
- Mark? Yet Mark?
Marshall, we're experiencing

Wait a few seconds before replying.
- Good.
- Okay.
- Hoffman?
I'm expanding the spatial cortex by 10%.
- [Automated Voice] Duo
tangent cortex increased 10%.
- What's going on?
Why don't we have any visuals here?
- [Julie] Jedburg,
shouldn't we have visuals?
- They should be coming in now.
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
(Hoffman exclaims)
(dramatic music)
- [Hoffman] Marshall, you getting this?
(dramatic music)
- [Marshall] Look at that.
- Marshall, it's Summerfield.
What the hell is that thing?
- [Marshall] Something on the
horizon, spherical shapes.
They're large, but I
can't judge the distance.
- [Hoffman] We're looking
at a sphere the size of a,
- Proceed with caution.
Proceed with caution.

- High alpha wave activity.
- Dawson, what's going on?
Dawson, what's going on?

Nothing is wrong. Let's proceed.
- Respiration is getting faster.
- Back off from it.
Back off until we can scan it.

Hoffman, do you copy?
- The monitoring systems are down.
- [Alexander] Well get 'em back.
- Hoffman? Anyone?
What are you seeing?
Get back to the embarkation
zone. Go to procedure eight.
- Procedure eight.
- What the hell is going on here?
- Reset embarkation coordinates to maximum
and reinitialize duo tangents.
- Get it back.
- Ford, can you speed this thing up?
We gotta lose a few more degrees.
(machines humming)
(computer beeping)
(tense music)
- [Automated Voice]
Scanning for IDOT personnel.
Scanning.
(computer beeping)
Scanning.
(static buzzing)
(tense music)
Scan negative. Scan negative.
(machine humming)
(tense music)
- No.
We have to send in a
rescue team immediately.
- [Julie] And risk
losing more lives, Alex?
- [Alexander] We don't know they're dead!
- Maybe you've misplaced them
in this parallel universe.
Is that it?
- Excuse me?
Secretary, they have 12 hours of oxygen.
If they are alive,
we can send in a strike force team in two.
- Oh, come on Alex.
Sending guns and soldiers
is not gonna solve anything.
- What would you recommend, Dr. Casserly?
- I think we should bring
Shepherd in on this.
- Shepherd?
- Shepherd.
- So he can blow up this facility,
like he did the one in Texas?
- Dr. Shepherd is practically
the father of Nexus.
He knows the nuts and bolts
about how this facility runs
better than you and I do, Alex.
- We are wasting our time here, Secretary.
- He is the only one that has gone
to the other side and returned.
- Oh, maybe they should have
given the sick bastard a medal.
- Maybe you should let go of
your vendetta against him.
- Oh, you're God damn right
I got a vendetta against him.
Eight years of my life?
And research, down the that tubes,
because of your deranged lover boy.
They used to fuck in case you
haven't read the dossiers.
- My private life is none of your business
and has nothing to do
with this conversation!
I have no doubt
that Shepherd can bring
our people back alive.
They were sent to the same coordinates
that Shepherd was sent to three years ago.
- [Kenmore] Will Shepherd help?
- Yes, he'll help, if I ask him.
- Ron Shepherd is not
coming into my facility.
- That's not your decision
to make, Dr. Summerfield.
You can have Shepherd,
but I'm holding you
responsible for his actions.
- (laughing) I don't believe this.
- In the meantime, a strike
team will get here ASAP.
I expect, doctors, that
you work together on this.
If your explorers don't
make it back alive,
Nexus is terminated.
Terminated!
(helicopter humming)
- They've landed.
(helicopter humming)
- Here.
- That's fine, Dr. Casserly.
(dog barking)
(birds chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
- [Julie] Shepherd?
(footsteps thudding)
(birds chirping)
- Julie?
It's been a long time.
Something I can do for you?
- I'm a little embarrassed to say this.
We need you, Shepherd.
(Shepherd laughing)
Look, I know it hasn't been easy for you.
- Well, you know, going from
being a director of Nexus,
to a third rate gardener,
it hasn't been easy.
- Yes. Well, you created this situation.
- I did what had to be done.
- And why did it have to be done?
Three years and you're
still not talking about it.
You could have at least
explained it to me.
If you had,
then maybe I wouldn't
have given up on you.
- Something's gone wrong, huh, Julie?
(helicopter humming)
- [Pilot] Charlie Golf Hotel to Control.
Picked up personnel, returning to Nexus.
(helicopter humming)
(dramatic music)
- Tell me how this transporter
of yours works, doctor.
- Well, biomagnetic flux,
by altering your body structure,
you can exist within a parallel world.
- No shit.
- Like I said, it's been tested
and it's perfectly safe for humans.
- Hey, that leaves you out, Mancini.
- Now there'll be a Dr.
Shepherd arriving here.
I do not want you to trust
or take orders from him.
Is that understood? Any questions?
- Yeah. What aren't you telling us?
- What do you mean?
- An experiment like this
is pretty off the wall.
Things go wrong, get covered up.
- Colonel McShane, something happened
to three of my colleagues
and they have about eight
hours of oxygen left.
Now, unless you have anything pertinent,
I suggest you all get on with it.
All right?
- Sure.
Just don't bullshit me.
- Good luck.
(footsteps tapping)
(crowd chattering)
- [Mancini] So what? That's
all I got for 50 bucks?
Is this gonna hurt?
- Up with the sleeve.
- I didn't get much
sleep last night though.
Do you think you could just start up
with a little bit of something, please?
- I could teach you how to
energize yourself, Mancini.
But you're like the rest of society.
You want some drug or some machine
to solve your problems for you
- You're done.
- No, it's called progress, Zunoski,
and maybe one day, you'll learn to,
- Just stow it and get dressed.
- Hi.
- Hi.
(glass clinking)
- What's your name?
- Lisa.
- Hi, Lisa.
I was wondering if you could
maybe take a look at my knee.
I screwed it up in a
parachute drop over Panama.
- I don't have time right now.
(cotton rustling)
You're done.
(bottle clicking)
- [Automated Voice] Level 10.
- Are you feeling a little deja vu?
It's the same layout as Texas.
(footsteps tapping)
(contemplative music)
- I thought our country was bankrupt.
- Not when it comes to defense.
(phone ringing)
- [Alexander] We have an error on four.
- [Automated Voice] Error,
error. Vortex infiltrated.
- Okay, clear con.
Let's wipe it at two,
nine, two, nine, one.
(crowd chattering)
(machines whirring)
Five, four and three, and monitor B?
Go to clear scan.
Go to six.
- Hello, Alex.
- Thought I'd seen the
last of you, Shepherd.
- Well, I was of the notion
that you took from me.
- What's happening level five?
Don't flatter yourself.
- Level five's clear.
- The defense secretary thinks
that you could be of some help,
but since I've been overruled,
I set up an office for you on the surface.
- And what good can he do
us on the surface, Alex?
- I refuse to have my facility jeopardized
by some wild maniac on the loose.
- I wasn't aware this was your facility.
Mortgage must be a bitch.
- Look, if we can't get
Dawson and the others back,
then there's not going to be a Nexus.
- Primary magnetic coils at minus 240.
- What?
What's going on here?
You have no right to engage
duo tangents when I'm not here.
- I'm scanning for my people
and if I can't bring them back,
I'm bringing in strike force.
- Alex, we work together.
You know what the defense secretary said.
- Well, the secretary
isn't here any longer.
- Please send Dr. Shepherd to the surface.
- Shepherd stays!
- Go to B six.
- And I'm gonna call the Pentagon
and bring a shitstorm down upon your head
and don't think I won't do it, Alex.
- You've certainly gotten
saltier since I've been away.
- Yes. Well, I've had to fend for myself.
- Julie?
Check the ECG monitor.
- [Automated Voice]
Warning, life form detected.
- Only one person detected.
- It's Marshall.
- Where the hell are the others?
- [Automated Voice] Scanning.
- 10, nine, eight,
seven, six, five,
four, three,
- Come on.
- Two,
one, we have dual tangents.
(machine humming)
- Come on.
(machine humming)
- I'm going down there.
- Airlock area on standby.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Decon procedure six now in effect.
(tense music)
- [Alexander] Take her helmet off.
- What?
- I said, take it off.
- Take it off?
- What's wrong with you, man? Do it.
(helmet clacking)
- She's alive.
- [Hoffman] Looking at
a sphere the size of a,
the size of a,
- [Julie] Proceed with caution.
Proceed with caution.
- [Hoffman] But to proceed.
(computer beeping)
(static buzzing)
Much clearer now.
- [Emma] High alpha wave activity.
- [Julie] Dawson, what's going on?
Dawson, what's going on?
- [Marshall] Nothing's
wrong. Nothing's wrong.
Let's proceed.
(static buzzing)
- [Emma] Respiration is getting faster.
- [Alexander] Back off from it.
Back up till we can scan it.
- What the hell is that?
- [Alexander] Back off
till we can scan it.
That's what you're going to find out.
Hoffman, do you copy?
- Colonel?
- Systems are down.
- [Shepherd] I'd strongly
advise you not to go.
- Shepherd, you're out of here now.
- Why is that, Dr. Shepherd?
- Because Shepherd's been there.
That's why he's here, Alex.
- [McShane] What do
you know, Dr. Shepherd?
I'm not taking my men
into an unknown situation.
What can I expect?
- Trouble.
- McShane, get your men ready, let's go.
(footsteps tapping)
- I put my ass on the
line for you, Shepherd.
Don't make me regret it.
(machine beeping)
(footsteps tapping)
- Marshall? It's Dr. Summerfield.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, Marshall?
(machine beeping)
Wow.
(machine beeping)
Well, well, how are you?
Can you remember what happened, Marshall?
Do you remember what happened to Hoffman?
(wound squelching)
(Marshall grunting)
Damn it!
(Marshall screaming)
Marshall!
Stop it.
Damn it. Stop it, Marshall.
What happened to Hoffman and Dawson?
Marshall, what happened
to Hoffman and Dawson?
- [Lisa] She's in shock.
(metal clattering)
- I don't want you to sedate
her until I get some answers.
- If I don't keep her alive,
you'll never get any answers.
- Damn it.
(machine beeping)
(syringe clinking)
(razor scratching)
- There was a lot of condensation
inside Marshall's suit.
My guess is oxygen deprivation.
- The oxygen imbalance
hasn't been affected.
With oxygen starvation,
she'd have been dead a long time ago.
- Where are we?
(paper rustling)
- Five minutes and counting.
- This is too fucking weird, man.
I ain't ready for this Buck Rogers shit.
- Can I get a Polaroid of this?
Something to show the girls back home.
- No photographs allowed.
(gentle music)
(machine beeping)
(ominous music)
(machine beeping)
- Stop him!
- Get away from her!
- What the hell do you think
you're doing, Shepherd?
(foot smacking)
(syringe clattering)
Jesus Christ. Son of a bitch.
(camera buzzing)
- What's the holdup?
- [Lab Tech] We're on standby.
I'm waiting for instructions.
- Can I get something to read down here?
There's a copy of ET in my bag.
- You want a fun one?
- We got time for a smoke or what?
- Don't worry, Baines.
They got nicotine built
into the oxygen pack.
- These should hold you.
(handcuffs clinking)
- You don't understand.
- I understand perfectly.
If Marshall lives, you're
not the only person
to come back from the other side,
and you,
you can talk to anybody
you like at the Pentagon,
because after today, you're gone.
Oh, by the way, there's no room service.
(machine beeping)
(ominous music)
All right, listen up. We're gonna do this.
Restart the countdown.
- Recommencing countdown procedure.

what the hell is that?
What is that?

- [Automated Voice] Warning,
level three west secured.
- Can we override containment?
- I don't know,
but I can open the bulkhead door.
- What's this about evacuation?
- Colonel McShane, you and
your men can stand down.
We've had to postpone telemetry.
- Not happy, boys.
(computer beeping)
- [Mancini] I don't trust
that sack of shit, Colonel.
- For once, you're right, Mancini.
I checked out Summerfield's aura.
He's a sick man.
- Anyone here?
(footsteps tapping)
(phone beeping)
(phone ringing)
- [Lisa] Control, this is Dr. Myers.
What's going on?
- Myers? It's Summerfield.
- You in green west?
- Yes, in Jedburg's office.
- What's your status?
- Everyone else seems to have made it out.
- Well, stay right there.
We're on our way up.
- Okay.
(light buzzing)
(ominous music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Decontamination procedure four activated.
Level three west.
- Find anything?
- No, nothing. How about you?
- No, nothing.
- Let's keep going.
(footsteps rustling)
(door whirring)
- Summerfield?
Summerfield?
Can anyone hear me?
- What the tricks to go for power here?
- Mancini, come with me.
- Hey, hair trigger.
Try not to shoot any friends.
(Mancini speaks indistinctly)
- Hold down the fort, Zunoski.
- Where you going?
Oh, let me guess. Sick bay.
- [Baines] I'm ailing, private.
- She's probably evacuated.
- [Baines] Not without saying goodbye.
- Don't forget to ask her
to check out your prostate.
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
- Christ Almighty.
(helmet clattering)
(Alexander panting)
(door whirring)
- Oh sweet Jesus.
(ominous music)
- This is absolute dehydration.
It takes years for a
body to reach this state.
- [Julie] And there's no
sign of any significant heat,
but this has to be some
form of combustion.
- Odorless. Maybe some
form of a nerve agents?
- [Julie] Well, some of the
test animals received burn.
But that was radiance, this is,
- Unreal.
- No, it's real, and we're
going to keep it quiet.
- Marshall is dead. We have
to notify surface control.
- Do that, and they'll cancel the rescue.
No rescue, no Nexus.
- [Julie] Rescuing Marshall
didn't do her any good, did it?
- There's no rescue right now anyway.
Telemetry has been discontinued
unless we can convince
the computer otherwise.
Are you all right, Alex?
- Yes, I'm fine.
Now curtain off this area
and secure it when you leave.
(ominous music)
(curtain rod clattering)
(pills clattering)
(Alexander gulps)
- [Jedburg] Julie, look at this.
(curtain rod clattering)
- Look.
- What the hell happened to the grate?
- I'm gonna get Ford.

- Lieutenant.
- I'm sorry, Lisa. I gotta
keep my chops up, you know?
Escape and evasion.
- What are you escaping from?
- Well, how about the boredom
of a felled up operation?
- So where's the pain?
- It's more of an ache, actually.
(lips smacking)
- Ford?
Ford.
(ominous music)
- Wait, wait.
Someone could come in.
- Go lock the door.
- Prepare to be examined.
(shirt rustling)
(footsteps tapping)
(door beeping)
You can only scare me once.
(keys clattering)
- Lisa?

(gunshots blasting)
- [Shepherd] Did it start?
- Yeah.
(footsteps tapping)
You're not crazy, are you?
- Eccentric, maybe.
Crazy, no.
- Why couldn't you have told me, Shepherd?
- Would you have believed me?
- No.
I guess, not without proof.
(handcuffs clattering)
- Exactly.
That's why I destroyed Nexus,
so nobody else could go.
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(heart beating)
(bed creaking)
(footsteps tapping)
(pills clattering)
(machines whirring)
(door whirring)
(handcuffs clacking)
- [McShane] Is this everyone?
- Yes.
Everyone else has been evacuated or,
- Dr. Shepherd?
I guess we now know why you
blew up the Texas facility.
- [Shepherd] That's right.
- What about Hoffman? What about Dawson?
- Hoffman and Dawson are dead.
So are Marshall, Ford and Dr. Myers.
One hell of a body count, Alex.
- [McShane] What is it we're up against?
- Well, I can tell you
it's some sort of life form
that have a taste for human beings.
- (laughing) You should have
run off when everyone else did.
- Look, can we please get on with this?
There's a killer loose
and we don't even know what it looks like.
Now, may I begin?
- [Alexander] Please.
- These air vents connect
every room on every level
with a pair of vertical
shafts that rise all the way
to surface level here and here.
McShane, can you get your
men into these shafts
and seal up the,
- [Shepherd] We have to assume it can move
wherever it wants.
- Then let's get the hell out of here.
- You know this thing could
be listening to us right now.
- Do you think it's intelligent?
- I have to get clear on something.
Nobody here wants to keep this thing alive
out of scientific interest.
- No.
Don't you think we should
evacuate to surface?
- As soon as reinforcements arrive.
- Oh, there are no reinforcements coming.
- [McShane] What?
- Alex?
You haven't notified the surface?
- No.
We're going to clean
our own dirty laundry.
- Now your dirty laundry
is trying to kill us.
Can I get through on this phone?
- [Julie] Yes. It's the one.
- It's dead.
- Warning.
The Nexus facility has been
contaminated on all levels.
Emergency containment
procedure one now in effect.
Nexus will be biosealed
in T minus one minute
and counting.
Thank you for your observance.
- It's locking us in.
- What about the freight elevators?
- I think everything is down.
- The vehicles.
Baines, follow me.
(dramatic music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Freight elevator shaft now closing.
(dramatic music)
(alarm blaring)
- It's locking us in.
I said it's locking us in!

- Let's go!
- Please stand clear.
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(computer beeping)
- Silver bullet, hey, kemo sabe?
- You got it, Zunoski.
Talking power here.
If I can just feed this
to the son of a bitch,
we'll all see Christmas.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Decontamination procedure
one now in effect.
Radioactive flush in T minus
six hours and counting.
- All the primary sensors
have been tripped.
At least the computer thinks they have.
- It seems we have a total contamination.
So it's gonna flood Nexus with
a lethal dose of radiation.
- But you can stop it, right?
- What do you think I'm trying to do?
- This thing is trying to kill us all.
If we don't get our asses in gear,
it's gonna succeed.
(door whirring)
- Put away the gun, you imbecile.
We're not at war here.
- The hell we're not.
- [Alexander] What we got?
- Okay, here we go. Okay.
Each one of these points
represents a contaminated area.
Now, if I superimpose a sensor grid,
we find something very odd.
Now, if there was
contamination in the air,
every sensor would be tripped.
But it's every third sensor,
whichever direction you go.
It's very methodical.
- We need to speed it up, Alex,
or we'll never be able
to override the termination procedure.
- Total containment requires 20 sensors
to be activated.
- Be activated.
This thing's gotta be one of them.
- Damn right it does.
- That means,
if every sensor's been overwritten,
there's a glitch in the computer.
- I'm in charge.
I'm in charge.
This is now a combat operation.
- Well, then why don't you
get up off your big butt
and start combating?
- I warned you to cut the
bullshit, Summerfield.
As of now, any authority
you had is null and void.
- I have something to say.
There's enough of us in this room
to have three parties searching
on three different levels.
So let's get it together, guys.
(dramatic music)
We're in position now. Level yellow, 504.
- 504.
Check.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps thudding)
Shepherd?
- [Shepherd] 441.
- You're warm.
You're about two sections
away from whatever it is.
(dramatic music)
- [McShane] Where are
these damn section numbers?
(dramatic music)
(metal clanging)
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
- What was that?
- Nothing, man. It's nothing.
It's just this place.
- I swear to God. I
heard something, Colonel.
- You sure?
- (speaking foreign language)
I heard something, Colonel.
- Watch my back.

- How's it going?
- Good.
(dramatic music)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in T minus

Thank you for your observance.
(dramatic music)
- My intuition tells me that our chances
of getting outta here are slim to none.
What do you think?
- I hope your intuition's wrong
because I'm not ready to die yet.
- Dying's not so bad.
We'll be back in a new
body before you know it.
- Yeah, well, I just
got this one in shape.
(dramatic music)
- I don't think the
contractors left this here.
Jedburg, we found something.
Exterior appears to be nonporous.
Looks as if it's made
of some kind of alloy.
- You mean like a canister?
- Yeah, but it would appear it's organic.
(creature breathing)
(dramatic music)
(gun clicking)
- Chill out, Baines.
(footsteps thudding)
What'd you guys find?
- I don't know what the hell it is.
- Well, we know what it's been eating.
(gear clattering)
Jesus. Stupid joke.
Bad taste, I'm sorry.
- Hey, knock it off, the both of you.
We got better things to do.
- Look, let's break it up.
- Come on, move it!
(ominous music)
(gun clicking)
- You see anything, Sergeant,
you blow the hell out of it.
Worry about what it was later.
- Got it, Colonel.
Anything I see is history.
- Let's go.
(ominous music)
(creature screeching)
(gunshots blasting)
- That's Mancini.
- Zunoski, get your ass back here.
- I'm going up.
- Where the hell is Baines?
- Don't know, not here.
- Look, you go back to control.
- [Julie] Yeah, what about Mancini?
- [Shepherd] We'll deal with it.
(gunshots blasting)
(dramatic music)
- [Shepherd] Jedburg, we found it.
(water trickling)
(dramatic music)
- Mancini!
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(water trickling)
- I am still in shock, man.
- Could've been worse.
Seen what that thing could do.
(body thudding)
(ominous music)
- So what do we do now?
- I suggest we get the hell outta here.
(creature screeching)
(ominous music)
(footsteps tapping)
- Shit.
Okay?
Okay?
Come on. Let's get out here.
Come on.
- What the hell happened?
Mancini? Mancini?
(ominous music)
Get your head outta there!
(ominous music)
(creature snarling)
(glass shattering)

- It's too close!
It's too close to him.

like a Christmas tree, must be the gas.
- Get this damn door open.
We're trapped in here.
- Alex?
I need to open 320.
They're trapped in there.
- How many sensors do you have working?
- I'm not really sure.
- Sure. I'll see what I can do.
(computer beeping)
Hello, Shepherd. It's Alex.
Look, I want to help,
but you know containment is
only possible at ground level.
- Alex, we've got one dead, one injured,
and we're suffocating in gas.
- [Alexander] Dead?
- Yes, dead! Now get
the god damn doors open.
- There's an emergency
maintenance hatch in the air shaft
next to 402 section on level green.
And this thing assures me
it can be opened manually.
- Come on.
(footsteps clattering)
- Yeah, it should be able
to be opened manually.

- [Julie] We're in the shaft now.
- [Jedburg] It's still a way off.
- Oh shit, man. It's still alive.
- [Jedburg] You're closer to
the emergency door than it is.
- He hasn't seen that mother move.
- [Jedburg] The door is
40 meters in front of you.
- Come on, let's go.
(footsteps clattering)
- Here.
This might be more prudent.
- [Julie] We're at the hatch now.
- Whatever this thing
is, it's closing in fast.
(dramatic music)
- It's two seven code.
What's the access code?
- [Jedburg] Zero, zero,
three, zero, zero, four, one.
(panel beeping)
- It's not accepting.
- Let me check it.
Now the code's correct.
- I can hear it.
- Listen, we should go
back to the corridor.
We are trapped here.
- Zunoski's gonna slow us down.
- Listen, man, I'm in charge now
and I can be,
- Stop killing yourselves!
(dramatic music)
- What's the prefix?
Before an area was contained,
there was more numbers.
- [Jedburg] This thing doesn't
look as if it's stopping.
(panel clattering)
- You're trifling, you son of a bitch.
- Come on!
- Jedburg?
Do you think that it's wise of us to try
and help open this door?
- Alex, what the hell
are you talking about?
- Well,
we're containing something
that's extremely dangerous.
Isn't that right?
- Yeah.
- Jedburg, wouldn't it be better
if we kept this thing safely confined?
- That asshole.
- I have to do some work.
Something's come up on the monitor.
That thing's in the air shaft with you.
(dramatic music)
- Come on, guys. Take it back.
- What are waiting for, man?
(explosion popping)
Yes!
(lips smacking)
- [Mancini] There is a god.
- [Zunoski] Come on. Go, go, go, go, go.
Come on.
Come on. Move it.
- Go!
(creature squelching)
(dramatic music)
(computer beeping)
(metal knocking)
- Shit.
- Lower me down.
Come on. Only got three hours.
- What's down there? I can't see.
(metal knocking)
(ominous music)
(fan spinning)
(ominous music continues)
(ladder clacking)
- Come on, Mancini, move it!
- I just, I just need some time.
- [Baines] One hand over the other, man.
What the fuck are you doing, man?
Come on!
- I need time.
- Let chance, Mancini.
Above you.
(ominous music)
Come on!
(creature snarling)
Clear!
(gunshots blasting)
(creature screeching)
Mancini!
Throw it.
(creature screeching)
(fire whooshing)
(body thudding)
(fan spinning)
(door whirring)
(computer beeping)
- Summerfield?
Got something for you.
(fist smacking)
(Alexander groaning)
Not wise to open the door?
Lost two friends in there.
- Baines, that's enough.
- Damn it.
- Jedburg!
Put this man under arrest.
You animal!
- [Shepherd] Baines. Baines?
I need you to set out a perimeter.
- Can do.
I'm just up here giving my
last respects to the doctor.
- It's General Shepherd
now, is it, Baines?
What's the matter?
Haven't you vanquished the beast?
- Maybe you should hold your
sarcasm for later, doctor.
I'll be back.
(pair breathing)
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in T minus three hours
and counting.
- Time to pick sides, man.
- [Automated Voice] Thank
you for your observance.
(ominous music)
(brush scraping)
- God damn it, Shepherd.
- Hey, Julie. Didn't mean to scare you.
You're looking good. (laughing)
I missed you.
- I missed you.
(lips smacking)
You know, I was thinking,
now that that thing is dead,
I'd like to get some
samples of its tissue.
(Shepherd sighs)
- Julie, when are you gonna
quit being such a scientist?
- [Julie] That's all I know anymore.
- You're so different now.
You never would've stood
up to Summerfield before.
- Then what's with this gun?
The creature's dead.
It went through the fan blades.
- I don't think so.
He's still out there.
- [Baines] I was outta
line back there, Zunoski.
- Don't worry about it, Baines.
- This is gonna do it.
- Dream on.
- No, man.
If I can get close enough
to it with enough C-4,
I know that I can blow this
thing to shit, Zunoski.
- Yeah, but who'd wanna get that close?
- [Baines] Did you tell Summerfield
where we were putting these explosives?
- Yeah.
- Too bad.
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
(Alexander coughing and grunting)
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(Alexander groaning)
(Alexander coughing and wheezing)
(Alexander moaning)
(glass shattering)
- We've been overlooking something.
We have to find out what this thing wants.
- Listen, I saw what it
did to Mancini and Lisa.
I think it's pretty clear what it wants.
- It's collecting information.
It already knows the location
of every crucial point in Nexus.
- Why would it wanna get us shutdown?
- [Shepherd] Because it
needs time to acclimatize.
Time to find its strength.
- It wants to get out. Right?
- We have to presume it
wants to do that. Yes.
- We have to contact surface control,
so they can override.
- We're sealed in, Shepherd.
- Why can't we use the walkie talkies?
- Well, there's a body
of iron ore between us
and the surface.
Radio waves won't pass through that.
- Yeah, you're right.
That's why we gotta find
our own way through.
- We have to climb all the way up there?
(Jedburg sighs)
- The elevator's 500 meters above us.
You'll have to blow your way
through the bottom hatch.
- [Shepherd] Then climb through the top,
get the hell up to the surface.
- That's another 300 meters.
- Plus the shaft isn't air conditioned.
It's probably 120 degrees in there.
- All right.
- I'm gonna need your help.
- But Baines can't go
alone. He needs backup.
(ominous music)
- You're packing enough C-4 to
blow the World Trade Center.
- I was a Boy Scout, Zunoski.
I like to be prepared.
(Baines panting)
- Watch your ass, Lieutenant.
- See you later, buddy.
(door whirring)
- I'm gonna work on the computer.
Maybe we can override this irradiation.
- And this is secure?
- Yes.
- And you sure you wanna do this?
- Well, somebody's gotta do it.
Let's do it.
- All right.
(gear clacking)
Yee-haw.

- [Shepherd] Jedburg?
Jedburg, how's it going?
- I haven't been so scared since
the IRS knocked on my door.
(computer beeping)
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
- Jesus!
Dr. Casserly, don't scare me that way.
- You know,
I can't.
- Don't worry about it.
Look, we're really easy to tell apart.
See, it's got a much nicer haircut than I.
(Julie laughing)
Have a sandwich.
- Oh boy.
- They're good for you.
- You're funny. Thanks.
(gear clacking)
- Shepherd, I've reached
the bottom of the elevator.
I'm gonna set some charges
and I'm gonna blow this hatch.
Your man Jedburg, looks
like he's more at home
with his computers.
(gear clacking)
(bomb beeping)
(Baines panting)
(gear clacking)
(ominous music)
Shepherd? I'm ready to blow the hatch.
- [Zunoski] Shepherd, any
luck with the override?
- Not yet.
- Jedburg! Move your ass,
I'm blowing this thing.
(gear clacking)
(explosion blasting)
(Jedburg coughing)
(creature hissing)
(Jedburg screaming)
(body thudding)
(Baines panting)
(gear clacking)
Shepherd?
Jedburg must have slipped.
- Say again.
- Jedburg fell.
He's dead. The hatch must have hit him.
- Where exactly are you?
- I'm in the elevator.
This gear's just too heavy
to hump another 300 meters.
I'm leaving it here. Over.
(Baines panting)
(bag thudding)
Damn it.
(Baines grunting)
(grate clattering)
(ominous music)

Gone wrong, mate?

(door whirring)
- Geez.
(door whirring)
(footsteps tapping)
- Well, it's too bad that Baines
and Jedburg couldn't make it.
But it's so nice of you to join us, Alex.
- You still feeling sick, Alex?
(Alexander coughing)
- I think I've developed a stomach ulcer.
- Whole wheat cracker?
They're good for the stomach.
- What happened to your neck?
- What?
- [Shepherd] You heard
me, you son of a bitch.
- I scalded it.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in minus one hour and counting.
Thank you for your observance.
- We only have an hour left, Shepherd.
Aren't you gonna save us?
(Alexander sighs)
I've gotta go to my room.
Don't bother to wake me when it's over.
(door whirring)
(computer beeping)
- Take a look at this.
- She scratched him right where
he said he scalded himself.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Radioactive flush in T minus 45 minutes
and counting.
- Thank you
for this observance
- Thank you
for your observance.
(door whirring)
- Alex?
(door whirring)
(ominous music)
- I suggest we blow his god damn head off.
- Can't do that.
He's probably like a ripe poppy,
filled with seeds.
- And they'll stay in his
body as long as he's alive.
- [Zunoski] That's just
too much. Gimme a break.
- Oh, come on, Zunoski.
Don't you understand?
Alex is already dead.
- You two find Summerfield.
I'm going back for the gun.
(ominous music)
(footsteps thudding)
- Alex?
Alex, are you in here?
- Yeah.
Julie.
- Hi Alex.
- I'm listening.
- We just engaged duo tangents, Alex.
Hoffman and Marshall are
in the embarkation zone right now.
They're waiting for you.
- They're asking for you, Alex.
- They're in there right now, Alex.
I swear to God.
- They're dead.
- No, they're not dead.
They're in there. We just came from there.
I'm asking for your
help. You're my partner.
- Look, let's can the bullshit.
Summerfield,
- Don't move!
(gunshot blasting)
- No!
(Zunoski groaning)
Alex,
- I told him not to move, Julie.
- I know, I know.
Put the gun down, Alex.
Yeah. Put the gun down.
Just, that's right.
That's right.
Alex, what's happening to you?
- (grunting) Die now!
(Alexander groaning)
(creature snarling)
- Julie, get outta there.
(creature screeching)
Not running this time, you son of a bitch.
(creature screeching)

Warning, power overload.

I powered up too fast.

the other side's enough.
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Surface level main door opening.
- How is he?
- He's gonna be all right.
- You hear that, buddy?
Gonna make it.
- I guess you have to hang
onto this body a little while longer, huh?
- Did we zap that sucker?
- I guess you could say that.
- And what are we gonna tell the Pentagon?
- The truth.
- Think they'll believe us?
- Hell no. I'm crazy, remember?
- [Automated Voice] Warning.
Surface biohazard clues to,
