- Hello?

Hi, Walter.

No, I was just reading.

What's happening with you?

To the movies?

Well, I don't know.
What are you gonna see?

Maria who?

An Osborne skier film festival.

No, I don't think so, Walter.

Oh, besides, my favorite
program's coming on

and I don't wanna miss it.

Well, look, Walter.

Why don't I give you a call back later

if I'm still hanging around, okay?

Walter...

Walter, look, I have to go.

I think my cat knocked
over one of my flower pots.

Yes, Walter.

Yeah.

Bye.

Oh, shit.

Gordon?

Gordon?

Gordon, where'd you go?

Oh, wow.

Oh, great.

Now I can't paint my toe nails.

Now, where did they hide the fuseboxes?

No!

Help!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Anything?

- Not a thing.

Some sticky substance.

- What is it?

- I haven't a clue.

Look, it's all over everything.

I'm gonna take what we have

down to the lab for analysis.

- Okay, but can you fix
the time of death for me?

- Well, if I had to guess,

I'd say about 7:00 to 10:00 last night.

Usually, I can give you something closer,

but with the cold temperatures,

it makes all the usual tests unreliable.

- It wasn't cold last night.

- It was in here.

- 2-3-0 manual.
- Roger.

12-8-79 clear.

9-3-Rogers-o-7

- Take her away.

- Lou.

What do you got?

- Not a hell of a lot, chief.

- That the girl?

- Yeah, her name is Janie Richter.

Her left leg was ripped from her body

and her hair was pulled back so hard

that it broke her neck.

Whoever did this tore the
closet door off the hinges.

- Well, Lou, the pressure
is on to find this guy.

I'm counting on you to bring him in.

Soon.

I've got the mayor, the commissioner

and the press on my back.

Lou, shit rolls downhill.

You read me?

- What do you want me to do?

Go out and arrest a burn
to get them off your back?

- You know what I mean.

- Look, chief, I told
you, we don't have a clue.

We have no witnesses,
no prints, no nothing.

Look, chief, if you wanna catch this guy,

let's bring Ted lonergan in on the case.

- Forget it, capell.

I'm already dealing with one maniac.

I don't need another one.

- He's the best and you know it.

- I don't know it.

The police department is
doing very nicely without him.

Lou, I don't give a damn
how you solve this case,

but if you bring any
embarrassment to the department,

so help me, I'll fry your ass.

You got that?

- Yeah, I got it, chief.

- And no lonergan.

- Asshole.

- We have an agreement.

You deliver five books per year.

- I delivered five books.

- Five different books,

not the same story over and over again.

- What do you want? Blood, Victor?

Why don't you bite right here?

That way the marks won't show.

- Oh, that's very funny, Ted.

It's very funny,

but it won't be so funny
when I stop the checks.

- Victor, you're an idiot

and I can prove it.

You know why you're not
gonna stop the checks, huh?

Hmm, hmm, hmm? You know why?

Because those tired old
plots were the same ones

that gave you that home in bel-air

and that rolls corniche
sitting in your driveway,

so lighten up.

- You know, you guys kill me.

Every writer thinks that his

is the great American novel,

but you know what it is, Ted?

Do you know what it really is?

It's garbage.

- I can listen to you all day,

and you're right, it is garbage.

But you buy it. (Chuckles.

- Contract or no contract,

you better shape up

or I'll pull the rug
right out from under you.

- You ought to look where you're going.

- You hit me.

What?

- I said, you hit me!

- I did?

Oh, yeah, I guess I did.

Well, did you ever think about
maybe getting a smaller car?

I mean, this thing is like
a bolt cruiser, you know?

Kind of hard to miss.

Like a tank.

- I don't want another car.

I like this car.

And I especially like this
car without any dents.

- Yeah, probably would look
better without dents, yeah.

Oh, look what you've done.

- Oh, gee, I hit the
rear quarter panel there.

I bet it's really hard to find
parts for this car, you know?

Especially that little chrome strip,

that's gonna be tough to find.

- You jerk.

You know, this car has
been in my family for years

without any accidents.

You know, it's never gonna be the same.

And you didn't even look!

You just threw your car into
gear and smashed into me!

How the hell did you ever get a license?

- Would you like some atomic rocks?

- What?

- Atomic rocks, would you like some?

- You know, I think you're crazy.

- Juicy fruit?

I've got a stick of juicy
fruit here somewhere.

I'm gonna call the police.

Oh, miss!

Miss! Miss!

You forgot something here.

- Thanks.

- Hey, look, I'm sorry I hit your car.

I understand why you're upset.

Here, let me give you my card, okay?

Do you have a pen?

Something like that?

Here's my phone number and my address,

but you'll need my
driver's license number.

So you just come by my office anytime

and I'll give you a check
for the damages, okay?

And it was really nice meeting you,

and I am sorry that I hit your car.

- Wait a minute.

You're not leaving, are you?

- Well, yeah, I've got to

- go back to my office.
- No, you can't leave.

I've got to call the
police and report this.

- Oh, okay.

All right, I tell you what.

The number is 555-9000.

A guy by the name of Chuck
will answer the phone.

He's really a nice guy.

And you just tell him what happened,

and they'll send a squad by, okay?

- No, no, you gotta stay here.

- Oh.

No, I can't.

Here, have some atomic rocks.

What's your name?

- Jennifer Stanton.

- Well, I'll see you soon, Jenny.

- Wait.

Oh, for Christ's
sake, would you move?

- Don't rush me, that's how
you make mistakes in this game.

- You've been working on
that move for two days!

- Hey, you wanna play
chess or you wanna argue?

- That's your move?

- Yeah.

- What the hell are you doing?

- What do you mean?

- You just threw away your queen.

- Hey, I got a plan.

- Yeah, right, you got a plan.

You threw away your
queen and you got a plan.

You're crazy, do you know that?

By the way, how's the asshole?

- You mean Warren?
- Well, who else?

- Well, he's doing the
same thing we're all doing.

Trying to find some psycho

who's running around trashing people.

- Yeah, I read about that in the paper.

Got any clues?

- Well, nothing that makes any sense.

Say, Ted, why don't you
come down to the office

and look at some of the files?

- No, Lou, no.

- Ted, I think you ought to
give this thing a chance.

You know, you're the best I've ever seen

- at this kind of stuff.
- I told you along time ago

I am through with investigation.

And don't go talking to Warren,

because I don't want
anything to do with him.

- You sound like a 34
year-old has-been to me.

- Yeah, well, maybe I am,

but I don't need any of
your goddamn social work.

- Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

- Me too, I'm sorry.

- And by the way... check!

- What?

- Yeah?
- Hi, is this

Mr. Lonergan's office?

Oh, yeah, hi. Come on in.

- Yeah, well, I think I hear
captain video calling me

on the optical scholameter.

- Oh, you don't have to go.

I just wanted to talk to
Mr. Lonergan about my car.

- You're the crazy...

I mean, the lady with the jag?

Well, I know I've got to go now.

See you later, Ted.

- Yeah, bye Lou.

Clear a spot here.

My maid's coming in next week.

Please, sit.

- Mr. Lonergan,

I hate speak blunt, but...

_ You want me to pay

for the damage to your car?

- It will cost at least
$1,200 to repair my car

and I think you will admit
that it was your fault.

Yeah, well,
I'm sorry, Ms. Stanton,

I can't give you a check.

- Oh, I thought so.

- All I have is cash.

It's a little quirk of mine.

I don't trust bankers.

- There's over $2,000 in here.

- Yeah, well, that's in case

you have trouble finding parts.

- No.
- Which reminds me.

Here's the name of the guy

who can find parts if you need them.

His name is Hewitt.

He's Scottish.

That was a Mark ix jag, right?

- Yes.

- Look, I am sorry that I hit your car.

I know sometimes people
can become attached

to something like that.

- Well, it's just that it does have

a certain sentimental value.

Excuse me for saying this,

but this is really not the
reaction I expected to get.

After this morning, I
thought I'd be dealing

with a real mental case.

- Well, I'm in contact
with earth occasionally,

but don't be fooled by this calm exterior.

It's just a clever disguise.

Actually, I'm errol Flynn.

Well, Errol.

It was nice meeting you.

- Well, gee, maybe we'll
run into each other again.

- I hope not.
- Oh, yeah.

Hey.

Sorry about that.

Why don't you let me
take you out to dinner?

Kind of make it up to you.

- No, I don't think so.

Besides,

you've already made it up to me.

Thanks again, Mr. Lonergan.

- No, Ted.

- Ted.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Ted.

- Ted.

Bye, Ted.

- Hey, you guys, that's my car!

Whoa!

I can walk from here, I think.

Listen, I'll call you guys
tomorrow if I'm still alive.

- Okay.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Thanks.

Come on, what's the matter with you?

Shit!

Stupid car. Come on, start.

What am I gonna do?

- Here on this quiet little
street in sherman oaks,

a college coed, 22 year-old Janie Richter,

became victim number 11

in a series of brutal slayings

over the past few weeks.

The coroner's office issued
a report this morning

that Ms. Richter's body
had been found beaten.

Apparently, her neck had been broken

and her left leg ripped from her body.

Los Angeles police chief, Dennis Warren,

stated today that the
killer will be caught,

and that the police department

is working around the clock

to bring the killer to justice.

Informed sources say, however,

that the police department
has no real clues,

and such statements by chief
Warren are wishful thinking.

This is Alex waverley in
sherman oaks for kj...

Highway division,
officer newland speaking.

Jennifer, I hope
this is the right color.

I've changed my mind.

A woman's prerogative.

Will you have dinner?

It's on me.

Eightish?

I'll pick you up here.

- Ted?
- Hello.

- Hi, it's Jennifer.

Oh, hi, come on in.

I'll be out in a second.

- Okay.

Ow!

- Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm all right,

just hold on a second.

- I found this great
restaurant in century city.

They have their own wine cellar

and the food is fantastic.

Hi.

I tell you what.

Why don't we have dinner at my place?

I have some steaks

and it'll be quiet.

And we can talk

and you won't have to dress up.

- Yeah, sure, great. Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Love to.

- Okay.

- Dinner jacket here.

Did you have to look in Betty Crocker?

- No, actually, it's
a very basic, basic...

- Mm-mm.
- It's easy to...

- It was very good.

I enjoyed it very much.

- Thank you.

I'm feeling a little bit of the wine.

- Good.

- Would you like some more?

- Mm-hmm.

Yes, I would.

How about some music?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- All right.

Any requests?

- Ravel's bolero?

- What?

- Never mind.

Thank you. I like a girl with commitment.

- Yeah.

There you go.

- You're very funny.

- A little bit.

So tell me.

Excuse me.

Isn't this the part of
the evening that you say,

"so, Ms. Stanton, tell me a
little bit about yourself?"

- I don't have to.

I know everything.

You were born on September 20,
1950 in Boston, massachusets.

You had a very happy childhood.

You graduated from Radcliffe
with a 3.6 in economics.

Your father owned a tool and die company.

Your parents were killed in an
automobile accident in 1975.

Shall I go on?

- No, that's all right.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

Same old habit.

- That's right.

You are a detective.

- I was.

I was a detective,

but not anymore.

Let me ask you a question.

- What?

Why'd you decide to go
out with me tonight,

or whatever it is we're doing here?

- Well, you're kind of cute,

and you do have a way about you.

- Don't mistake being comatose for style.

What do you have on your cheek there?

- What?
- Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

- I don't get it, virg.

How come anytime something goes wrong

in the middle of the night,

the sup always says, "call tindall!"

Yeah, sure, he won't mind

getting up at three in the morning

to bend pipes and Wade in crap.

"Call tindall!"

Maybe he just like your smile.

- You know what I was doing
when he called, don't you?

Valerie?

"Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah!"

I get the picture, Howard.

- Hey, I got to teach you how to score.

Spare me.

- Come on!

Jesus, it's cold down here.

Hey, did you hear something?

- Hey, like what, ralphie boy?

- I'm serious.

Hey, you know, there's
something down here.

- Hey, maybe it's Valerie
coming back for more.

Hey, Howard, that sounded pretty good.

Howard?

Now, I suppose you're waiting
for me to come down there

and play some kind of game with you.

Well, if you do, you're a bigger asshole

than I think you are.

Howard?

Howard?

Oh, come on, man.

Howard, don't make me come down there.

Shoot.

Howard, come on, man,
you know I scare easy.

Howard?

Howard?

Holy shit.

Oh, damn it!

- Hello, Ted.

Hi, Lou.

What brings you here?

- Just in the area.

Wow, what happened here?

- Hi.

Ted, where do you want these?

- Jennifer, this is Lou capell.

You've met him before.

The crazy lady with the jag.

- Lou's an old friend.

He's with the police force.

- Oh, well, I'll let you two

play cops and robbers if you like.

I just wanna know where to file these

and I'll go back and finish.

- You file this one under akkerman, f.,

and the other one in the big,
green file under o'ouinn, k.

- Okay.

Bye-bye, Lou.

It was nice seeing you.

- It's my pleasure.

That's a very nice lady.

- Yeah.

What are you doing here?

- Well, it's been a long time

since you've been down to the office.

I thought I'd come by and let
you know what's happening.

- About those murder cases, right?

- Yeah.

- Lou...

- Look, wait a minute.

Before you start to get upset,

would you hear me out for once, please?

Please, hear me out.

Ted, you and I have worked
together on some offbeat cases,

but this is the strangest case
I've ever been on in my life.

Look, people in this town
are dying like flies,

and I don't know what you've
read in the newspapers,

but there's some psycho
running loose in la

and he's killing people at random.

- There's always a pattern.

- Yeah, not to this one there's not.

Whoever this guy is, he's
stronger and more cunning

than anybody we've ever been up against.

He pulled a door completely off the car

- of his last victim.
- Oh, Lou, come on!

- Listen, if you don't believe me,

I'll take you down to the
office to show you the car.

Ted, I'm flying blind on this thing.

The only thing I got going for me

is Kathy sperry, his latest victim.

She's still alive,

but she's in a coma.

And there's a chance
she may come out of it,

but if she doesn't...

Ted, I've talked to the chief

and he said I can bring you in.

- No, Lou.

He'd give you anything you want.

- Look, I appreciate what
you are trying to do for me,

but I don't want any half-assed therapy.

- Look, I'm not here because I think

you are some charity case!

I'm here because people out there need you

and I need your help!

Ted, look, you're my best shot!

- I am sorry!

I am not ready for that yet.

- Yeah, well, I'm sorry, too.

Seems like I've been hearing
that a lot around here, lately.

- Yeah, well, what I wanna know is

where'd you guys find this dump here?

I gotta go back to the car.

Can I have the keys, please?

- What for?

- It's gonna get dark in an hour.

I forgot my lip gloss.

- Sandy, what are you doing?

- I'm getting my lip gloss.

- Christ, we're going
skating, not to chasen's!

- Hey, we can still skate if it gets dark.

They do turn on the lights at night.

- Don't worry, Kelly.

It's not gonna get dark
for a few hours yet.

- I'm gonna go take a run.

- Come on back right away, okay?

I'll have this fixed in a minute.

Then we can go for a run.

- Okay.

- Together...

- What the hell was that?

- Sounds like someone's
power steering going out.

- When is Kelly coming back?

I wanna skate.

- She'll be back in a minute.

She probably went all
the way to the bottom.

- Hey, that sounded like Kelly.

- No, don't try and scare me.

- Yeah, it did.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go!

- Wait a minute, I'm not going.

Hey, don't leave me!

Hey, you guys, these are Kelly's.

She wouldn't leave these here.

Let me see them.

- Kelly!

Kelly!

Kelly!

- I don't like this.

Scott, let's go back to the car.

Come on.

- Can you tell me your name?

Doc, you wanna come here a minute?

Have you seen this girl?

- We've an ambulance on the way.

She's in deep shock.

- Will she come around soon?

I need to question her.

- She'll come out of it eventually,

but exactly when, well,
that's hard to say.

- Okay, would you call me
as soon you know something?

Whew... what do you got, radar or what?

- Well, that's why I'm
the chief and you...

- Ah, spare me, my illusionist.

Don't finish that.

- Well, you think this is
the work of that same creep?

- Yeah, looks like it.

- Any witnesses?

- No.

I talked to all the kids

and they were up on the top level

when this thing happened.

- Notified the parents?

- No, not yet.

- Don't you think that'd be a good idea

to give them a call now?

- Well, I thought I'd go and over

and see them in person, chief.

- Who is that?

What the hell is he doing here?

- Ted.
- What the hell

does he think he's doing?

- Listen.
- Okay.

- If you have anything to do
with this, so help... I told...

- Warren, how you doing?

Looks like somebody
interrupted your dinner party.

- Well, lonergan.

I wondered if you'd be sober

long enough to stick your nose into this.

- My, my, aren't we hostile?

Talk is that you need
all the help you can get.

But then again, you
never were able to find

your own ass with both hands.

- Get him out of here.

Get him out of here before I
kick his tail into the slammer

and throw away the key!

Get him out!

- That's just fine.

That's just fine.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I've been working on him for two weeks.

I almost had him convinced.

- He's an asshole.

- I know that!

But you know, you don't have

one ounce of diplomacy in your body, Ted.

Look, Ted, I consider you a friend,

and I would appreciate it

if you would go over and apologize.

- Ted, I'm gonna go meet
that girl over there.

She says she has some information,

but she doesn't wanna talk to the police.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Okay, bye.

- I'm sorry.

I just can't deal with that guy.

- I know.

Well, anyway, he's gone.

Have you seen the body?

- No, no, not really.

- Come, it's over here.

- Sherry?

Sherry?

Sherry carpenter...?

Come on, Jennifer, it's all right.

It's nothing.

Ugh, nice.

Sherry...?

Oh, shit.

- Jennifer?

Ted, it's Lou.

- Oh, hi, Lou.

What's up?

It's Jennifer,
Ted. She's in the hospital

in a deep coma.

Ted, are you there?

- What?

What happened?

We're not sure.

The doctors think it's a brain tumor.

She was in a place called the
amberdine research facility.

She apparently went into
convulsions and into a coma.

A young girl who works there found her.

- Where is she?

At central.

I'd like to go
in there if I could.

- I can't let you go in
there right now, I'm sorry.

- Well, I'd like to see
Ms. Stanton if I could.

- You know Ms. Stanton?

- Yeah.

- We've been trying to get
in touch with her relatives.

- Well, I don't think she has any.

Can I go in and see her?

- No, I can't let you
go in there right now.

Besides, she wouldn't
even know you were there.

- Oh, what the hell happened?

Is she gonna be all right?

- Well, we don't know a
lot about what happened.

But apparently, she went into

a form of epileptic convulsions

and then into a comatose condition.

I'm afraid she's slowly
slipping into a profound state.

- Well, what does that mean?

- Well, next 24 hours will tell,

but you have to know
her chances aren't good.

I'm sorry.

Listen, could you come
downstairs to admissions?

We need you to...

- Ted.

Ted, it's Lou.

Come on, get yourself together.

What are you doing?

You can't go on like this.

- Yeah, right.
- Come on.

No, Ted, you've had enough of that.

This stuff's gonna kill you.

I don't care, I need a drink.

Do you think that Jennifer

would want you to act like this?

- Excuse me, are you Mr. Lonergan?

- Yeah, I'm lonergan.

You look familiar.

- My name is Sherry
carpenter and I would like...

- You talked to Jennifer, right?

You were gonna meet her somewhere.

- My car overheated...
- The hell did you do to her?

Nothing, I didn't do anything.

- All right, haven't you
done enough damage already?

Get out of my office!

Would you just get the hell out of here?

Look, she didn't
have anything to do with it.

Jennifer had a brain tumor.

Ted, you got to stop
doing this to yourself.

- That's what I came to talk to you about.

I do not think she has a brain tumor.

- Oh, what the hell does that mean?

- Look, lady, the attending
physician said that she's...

- Comatose.

Due to a possible brain tumor.

You see, that's how it kills.

I mean, that's how it would look.

- That's how what kills?

How what looks?

- Let me start from the beginning.

When I got out of college,

I had an opportunity to
work for a Dr. Amberdine.

I had majored in biology,
specifically genetics.

Dr. Amberdine was working
in genetic engineering.

He was at work in secret on
designing a new life form.

- Now, this is real fascinating,

but what does it have to do with Jennifer?

- I'm getting to that!

Look, do you wanna hear this or don't you?

- No, not really.
- Ted, shut up.

Would you go on, lady? We're sorry.

- Well, he actually succeeded in designing

a totally new life form.

I mean, something that
has never existed before.

Resilient, intelligent,

and, I think, very deadly.

He told me once that if it ever grew up,

it would probably be very dangerous.

- Yeah, well, I take it
it never grew up, huh?

- Well, I don't know.

You see, ed...

I'm mean, Dr. Amberdine had
a heart attack and died.

I know he planned on killing
it before it got too big,

but he didn't get a chance.

He was working alone when he died

and the creature escaped.

We all assumed that it had
crawled away somewhere and died.

- So what makes you think different now?

- The murders.

It feeds on spinal fluid

it draws out of its victim
with a needle-like tongue.

- Yeah, but we never had
any murders like that.

- Yes, but most people
wouldn't be looking for it

because its victims would look like they

had an epileptic fit or a brain tumor!

- Why didn't you come
forward with this sooner?

- I wasn't sure.

- Well, have you seen this thing?

Do you know what it looks like?

- No.

I mean, I snuck in once,

but it was only in its
embryonic stage then.

- Ted, is it possible?

- At least check into it.

What have you got to lose?

Please, if this thing grows up...

- Lou, she's right.

Let's check it out.

Look, I want you to go talk to the coroner

and find out if they overlooked anything.

I mean anything.

- Okay, I'll give him a call.

In the meantime, get her
name and phone number.

- Okay, I wanna see if I can find

the centerpoint to these attacks.

If this thing is real,

how are we gonna kill it?

- I don't know.

I only came in on the
end of the experiment.

- You said that doctor...

- Amberdine.
- Amberdine.

- He was planning on killing it.

- It's true.

There's some experiment notes.

Now, they might tell us something.

- You still got them?

The originals
were taken by the people

who were financing the project,

but I made some copies for myself.

I'll go back and get them if you want.

- Do that, go get them.

- Okay.
- Oh, and look,

I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

- Oh, I'll be back soon.

I'm just gonna go down to the lab.

- Hello.
- Ted, Lou.

- Hi, Lou.
- Look, buddy,

I've been doing some checking,

and that girl of yours
is right on the money.

There's been an unusually high instance

of brain tumor and epileptic deaths.

- Are you sure?

- The coroner also said that
a lot of the death victims

had a tremendous loss of spinal fluid.

Listen, I'm beginning to
think that the girl is right,

and if she is,

that means that there have
been a lot more deaths

- than have been reported.
- Yeah, I'll tell you,

there's something I don't understand.

It's how the hell something
like this creature

could get around town without being seen?

I mean, nobody's reported
anything strange.

- Yeah, I know,

that's one of the parts of
the puzzle that doesn't fit.

I'm afraid I got another one for you.

Okay, what?

- The case has been closed.

- What?

I got a bulletin
the other day which reads,

"the suspect was cornered and was killed

during a subsequent gun
battle with police."

- Where? What division?

- Well, it didn't say.

I tried to get more information,

but the bigwigs upstairs
put a gag order on it.

- They are trying to cover something up.

- You don't know that.

- And you know something else?

They're gonna stop looking!

- Look, Ted, this isn't
getting us anywhere.

Now, I cannot be involved in
this thing officially anymore.

The case is closed.

- Damn it!

- Ted, hey, take it easy.

That doesn't mean that I'm giving up.

Tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna come over to your office

after I borrow a few things here

and we'll see if we can
figure it out, okay?

Ted?

- Yeah, okay, okay.

Look, I'm sorry, Lou.

I just got a little excited.

I'll talk to you soon.

- Right.

- Oh, Christ, that's where the lab is.

"7:21 pm.

It's been 512 hours since birth.

The syngenor is growing
at an astounding rate.

The vertebrae heat exchange system

is functioning at maximum.

Drawing the warm air in

and expelling cold air

out into its surroundings,

the organism is able to maintain

the high body temperatures needed

for its internal chemistry.

Still small at this point,

I'm unable to determine

what proportions the being

might attain when fully grown.

The question, I'm afraid,

will have to remain unanswered,

as the syngenor already exhibits

extremely aggressive behavior.

Its diet being what it is, spinal fluid,

along with what seems an
almost diabolical cunning,

could make this creature
extremely dangerous

if I were to allow it to reach maturity."

"10:42.

The syngenor is becoming
increasingly difficult to manage.

When it's not pounding or
chewing on its container,

it just sits there staring at me.

Its silvery eyes almost glowing,

burning into me.

I have to admit, it's a little unnerving.

I will have to put an end
to this syngenor soon.

I can't allow it to get any larger."

Sherry, it's Ted!

Here, calm down, would you?

What is it?

What's wrong? What's wrong?

- There was a man over there.

- Just listen to me.

Settle down, settle down.

Show me, show me.

It's okay, settle down.

What happened to him?

I don't know.

What is this stuff, do you know?

- No.

He looks like a maintenance worker

or a construction worker.

- It's in the sewer.

The sewer.

It's still in there.

- The sewer, that's where it is.

That's how the thing gets around

without anybody seeing it.

- Ted, there's something I found out.

Something in the notes.

I think the thing is
getting ready to reproduce.

- How is that possible?

I thought there was only
one of these things.

- Yes, but it doesn't
need a mate to reproduce.

Not all organisms do.

What are you going to do?

Don't you think you ought to
call for help or something?

At least call the police?

- By the time they get here,
it's gonna be too late.

You should go home and stay there, okay?

- You're right, I should.

I should,

but I'm not going to!

- What are you doing?

- I'm going with you.
- No, you're not.

- Yes, I am.

Besides, you need me.

- Oh, I do?

- Sure.

I'm the only one that
knows all about this thing.

It's called the syngenor.

- What?

- It stands for synthesized
genetic organism.

- Sherry, this is not a game.

We are dealing with a killing machine.

Now, I'm not gonna risk your life

by taking you with me.

- Do you think I'd be any safer up here?

- No, but you'd be safer at home!

- If you go down there,

I am not going home.

I am going to wait for you right here.

- Fine.

Come on.

- What a smell.

- What'd you expect?

- Which way?

- This way.

- What are you planning on doing

when you come face-to-face with it?

- Ventilating it a little.

- Oh.

- You know, I don't think I
like the way you said, "oh."

How big is this thing by now?

- I'm not sure.

- Well, what does it look like?

- I don't know.

- I thought you said you
knew all about this thing!

- It's gone.

- No.

- It's feeding off of these people.

Let's get out of here!

Sherry, no, no, no, this way.

Sherry, come on, come on, we got to go.

I can't move it.

I can't lift it!

Ted, it's too heavy.

- I got you.

God.

Sherry, come on back
here, come on, come on!

Here, come on, come on!

Here, hold the light.

There's a grid in here.

Damn.

Oh, it's too high.

Damn it.

There was a ladder back there.

Okay, I'm gonna have to go get it.

- What a minute, don't...

Please come back.

Ted!

Hurry, please, hurry.

- Go, faster.

- Get on it.
- Yeah.

- Hurry.

Hurry up, go, go, go. Move, move!

Ted, I dropped my glasses!

- That's it, the sewer.

Ed, I want you to get on the
radio and get somebody out here

who has a map of this
storm system, right now!

- Okay.

Sherry, I've been here before.

This is Lee thornburgh's metalworks.

It's locked.

- All right, back this way.

Go, go, go, go.

It's boarded.

Come on, come on.

Come on, this way.

There has got to be
another way out of here.

Sherry, if we can break that
window, we can get out there.

I can't get up, I need something else.

Something to put on the sink.

- This stuff is either too
heavy or it's bolted down!

- That thing isn't gonna work.

There's got to be something else.

- Ted, it's in here.

- Come on, let's go.

Go, go.

Go, go, go, go.

We need to go.

Shh, shh, shh.

- Oh, my god!

Ted!

- Move, move!

Go, move, move, move, move!

There's got to be something.

There has got to be something.

- Oh.
- What?

- Come on.
- What?

- Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

- Leave me.
- Over here.

- What are you doing?

- We can't.

Sherry, listen to me.

Listen very carefully.

This thing can wait us out

and we don't stand a chance
unless we do something.

What I'm gonna try and do

is I'm gonna try and get him...

I'm gonna try to lure him over the bed,

on the bed of this drop forge.

If I can do that, if I can get him there,

I want you to operate this machine.

- I can't operate this thing!

- Shut up, yes you can!

Now, listen to me!

You've got to hit both of
these buttons at the same time.

Otherwise, it won't operate.

Okay, put your foot on that.

That's the safety.

If your foot is not on
there, it will not operate.

Do you understand?

You have to hit both
buttons at the same time.

Otherwise, it won't operate.

Okay, I'll be right back.

- Ted, wait a minute!

Ted, the power went out!

There's a note on it, said
something about breakers!

Ted, the power's back on!

I can't see you!

Ted!

Ted!

Ted?

Oh, god, Ted!

Ted!

- Sherry, hit the press!

He's in the press!

- Ted...?

Ted?

Ted?

No!

No!

No!

No!
