[ Rat Screeches ] [ Munching ]

[ Man ] Animals have rights!

[ With Crowd, Chanting ] Animals have rights! Animals have rights!

[ Chanting Continues ]

Professor Delhurst!

Professor Delhurst, I want to talk to you. [ Chanting Stops ]

Would you get out of my way, please? I'm late. For what?

Another execution? Somebody call security.

The animals keep checkin' in, but they don't check out. Do they?

You're not a scientist. You're an undertaker! [ Crowd ] Yeah!

We are not through, Professor Delhurst!

Within the next decade,

two of you will die of cancer.

I am doing my best to reduce those figures.

What an asshole.

Come on. Let's go!

Animals have rights! [ With Crowd, Chanting ] Animals have rights!

[ Chanting Continues, Distant ]

[ Rat Squeaking ]

Josh, you're late again, and I already sent the samples out.

[ Telephone Rings ]

Lab. Yeah, he's here... sort of.

[ Whispering ] It's Dr. Travis.

[ Sighs ]

Yeah. Kate, look. If it's about that job, I'm still not interested. I'm com--

I'll be on the next plane.

Joshua.

Yes, Neil--

I'll find someone to cover your lecture.

I'll feed your little girlfriend, and I won't ask any questions.

Hmm? [ Chuckles ]

[ Engine Stops ]

[ Sighing ]

Thanks for coming.

Bobby? I want you to meet my colleague, Dr. Hamilton.

And I would like you to get the fuck outta here.

It's all-- Get outta here!

Are you deaf? Get outta my room!

Get outta here, you bitch. Get outta here!

Get outta here! Get outta my room!

Kate, what happened?

Bobby had a growth deficiency.

His parents brought him here for treatment,

and I administered a new growth hormone that I'd developed-- 192-Methyanol.

You used and experimental growth hormone on a kid? Neil, it was thoroughly tested.

I've used it on patients before. Kate.

No, with great success.

I was going public with it next month, in fact.

[ Footsteps ]

But something went wrong.

I suspect that the 192 is reacting with something in Bobby's blood-- [ Bangs ]

To synthesize a new growth molecule. Yes. Exactly.

[ Sighs ] Have you been able to isolate it?

No. I haven't. That's why I called you.

Neil, when I was teaching, you were the best student I ever had.

You're a brilliant scientist. I need your help.

Kate, I specialize in plant research. You need to get him to the med center. No.

His parents don't want him moved.

His parents are very powerful people, Neil.

They don't want him turned into a media freak. They don't want the embarrassment.

There's nothing I can do...

except ask for your help.

What about his behavior? [ Tsk ] Oh.

Bobby was one of the sweetest kids you could ever know... when he was admitted.

And now this.

He needs you, Neil.

[ Quietly ] All right.

I'll do what I can, but I need a sample of all his bodily fluids and the 192.

Yes. Of course. Anything you want. Just-- Just ask.

[ Classical ]

[ Sighs ] It's not working.

Months of experiments, 11 different formulas,

now a scalp transplant, and it's still not working.

We're wasting our time with animals, Professor Delhurst.

We give them massive doses of radiation so they'll lose their hair,

then we try to make it grow back again, but it won't.

Just end up dying from cancer.

Don't be an idiot all your life, Brett.

They pay me to study cancer. The institute expects animal research.

They expect radiation treatments.

If it happens that I stumble on a cure for baldness, lucky me.

And lucky you too, baldy.

[ Sighs ] Well, we'll wrap this up.

Tomorrow we'll start on the beaver.

[ Rattling ]

[ Electronic Beeps ]

[ Whining ]

[ Rattling ] [ Whimpering ]

- Look at this. - [ Whimpering Continues ]

[ Rattling ]

Hit the lights, Al.

[ Sighs ]

- What'd I tell ya? - [ Girl ] How does Delhurst get away with this?

'Cause he's subsidized by institutions that condone atrocities...

and pay for them with our tuition money.

Poor things. [ Girl ] Let's take 'em with us.

No chance, Alex. We'll never make it past security.

[ Al ] We can't just leave 'em here. Delhurst will kill 'em. To do experiments,

you need a lab...

and research data.

- Mark, I thought you said we'd just take pictures. - I lied.

[ Glass Smashing ]

[ Smashing Continues ]

[ Polaroid Film Advancing ]

[ Footsteps Approaching ] Oh, gross. Can you imagine that--

Excuse me, ladies. 'Cuse me.

[ Growls ]

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Thank you.

[ Gruffly ] Yes.

Do you know anything about this, Hales?

- No, sir. I have no idea why you've called us here. - Months and months...

of valuable research data has been destroyed by a willful act of vandalism.

There is no place for that at this institution.

I'm warning you. There will be a full investigation.

And if any of you were involved in this,

there will no longer be a place for you on this campus.

[ Knocking ]

Hamilton, I'm so glad you're here.

Edmond.

A sequence analyzer.

Where did this come from?

It's for a private project, Edmond. Mmm. Moonlighting, Neil?

Well, judging from the morning newspaper,

you don't exactly restrict your research to cancer, do ya?

Ah. That brings me to my point.

Those vandals destroyed months of my work. I heard. I'm very sorry.

I'm relieved to find you so understanding, Neil.

Look. Our research overlaps. If you'll just let me have access to your data--

and perhaps that sequence analyzer over there--

you could really help me put me on my feet again.

I can't. Not right now. Neil, I'm a colleague in need.

I'm under a deadline, Edmond. I'm sorry. Deadline?

You've been working for years to produce...

produce that only Lilliputians would appreciate.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. The flowers are lovely.

It's just that those fools from the N.I.H. are breathing down my neck.

I'm gonna lose my funding.

Edmond, how many times do I have to say no?

I won't forget this, Hamilton.

[ Typing On Keyboard ] List all protein molecules,

then replace amino acid sequence,

then contrast and compare each one to 192-Methyanol human growth hormone.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Well, we know the stuff works--

[ Chuckles ] and quickly.

How quick? This just took a few hours.

Amazing.

How did you come up with this?

It's an accidental hormone concoction.

It's like trying to make a martini and ending up with L.S.D.

What are you gonna do with it? Ah, break it down and run some tests...

and try to figure out a way to stop Bobby's growth.

There doesn't seem to be any limit to the effect of this stuff.

You gotta think beyond that, Neil. This is the food of the gods.

You realize how valuable this is?

Big cows, big fish, big pigs-- food for everyone and anyone.

We're talkin' the end of world hunger here.

I'll just settle for an antidote.

Sure. But in the meantime, let's figure out a way to utilize it.

Run some tests with a few lab rats. I can go right down-- I work on plants, not animals.

Afraid Alex'll find out?

[ Brett ] I've never seen him so pissed.

The bastards ruined everything! Thank God the animals are still okay.

Alex. Neil, um, I was just coming by for a visit.

Oh. Well, you just walked past my door.

Well, I was thirsty.

You wouldn't know anything about the party in Delhurst's lab...

last night, by any chance, would you?

- Dr. Hamilton. How are you? - Why fine, Mary Anne. Fine. Thank you.

- Loved your lecture last week. - Thank you.

Excuse us.

Anytime, Dr. Hamilton.

Planning some late-night cramming sessions?

Oh, come on, Alex. You know I wouldn't even dream of another woman. Oh, sure.

You got time for a bite to eat? No, I don't. I have an appointment.

With whom? I'll see you tonight, okay?

8:00, and we'll do something special. Mmm. Sounds X-rated.

Anytime, Dr. Hamilton.

[ Squeaking ]

[ Squeaking Continues ]

[ Glass Breaks ]

[ "Three Blind Mice" ]

Well, old girl,

I better put you to bed before you bankrupt the department.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

[ Josh ] It wasn't easy, but I managed to expropriate 35 male specimens...

of a Rattus norvegicus from the head of the biology department.

Forget it, Josh. Neil, it could help you find an antidote.

You need something to test on other than tomatoes.

[ Rats Squeaking ]

Look, Neil. I know you don't like it. But there's a human life at stake here.

You're not testing eyeliner for some cosmetics firm.

Just test it on one of them.

Uh, I think Louise is going into heat.

I better move her back, or you'll have to fight off the competition, buddy.

All right. Thanks, Josh.

[ Squeaking ]

[ Squeaking Continues ]

[ Knocking ]

Oh, uh, Alex. I'm sorry. I completely forgot about today.

- That's okay. We'll just go for a quick bite. - Yeah. Sure.

Hi. [ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Rats Squeaking, Faint ]

Josh, uh, mind the store. I'll be back in a couple of hours. [ Alex ] Bye.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Switch Clicks ] [ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Al ] Hey, Mark. What the hell we doin' this for? Hamilton's only got one pet rat.

[ Electronic Beeps ]

Shh! I'm trying--

Come on, man.

God. I'm trying, okay?

[ Mark ] Look at this, you guys.

I was right. [ Nibbling ]

[ Snarls ]

Holy shit.

[ Snarling Continues ]

Come on. Let's get it done. This one is going straight to 60 Minutes.

Come on, man. I'm tryin'.

Get away from me! God!

Mark, move your butt! Come on. Get up! Get the hell out of here!

[ Wailing ] Where'd it go? [ Mark ] Oh, don't go!

Hey, wait for me!

[ Mark Yelling, Continues ] [ Angie ] Mark, get the card out!

- What's going on in there? - [ Rat Screeching, Continues ]

Get the card out! We need it to open the door to the lab!

Mark! Mark, what's going on?

[ Panting ] Help! Help! [ Alarm Ringing ]

No! No! Hang on, Mark! Help me!

[ Moans ]

[ Footstep Crunches On Glass ]

[ Voices Murmuring, Distant ]

[ Sighs ]

Well, can you at least estimate the big rat's weight?

[ Sighs ] I don't know.

Fifteen, maybe 20 pounds? I don't know.

Leave her alone! She didn't cuddle the damned thing.

[ Sighs ]

How big was that rat when you left here last night? About 14 ounces. But--

You wanna know what I think? [ Al ] No!

I think you fucked up. I think you fanatics got carried away tryin' to ruin this place.

I think the rat cage fell on your pal, ripped his throat open.

A bunch of hungry test animals escaped, jumped him.

You got scared and left him to die.

This 20-pound rat bullshit-- tell it to the Enquirer. I don't buy a word of it.

If you're gonna arrest us, then do it. Otherwise, we're gone.

Not until I say so.

Oh, and you can go too, Doctor. You didn't see anything. Glad I could be of assistance.

I'm sorry about this, Neil.

Now you know how I felt.

How big were those other rats? It's very important. How big were they?

Government, uh, pays you to study... plants, as I understand.

Is that correct, Doctor? That's right.

Well, then would you mind telling me what you were doing with these rats?

I was experimenting with a new growth hormone. Obviously, it works.

Now, we gotta find a way to recapture those rats. What do you mean, "rats"?

You only injected one. Yes. But it's possible--

Finding rats is not a police matter. I've already got the exterminators on that.

Lieutenant, as I'm sure you're aware,

the grand opening of the pool takes place in three days.

Now, um, I don't think we need to have any publicity on this unfortunate incident. Do you?

All I see is a dead kid without a face.

[ Trips ]

[ Heavy Metal ]

[ Continues ]

[ Ends ]

I can't believe they called us in to find one stupid rat.

How are we supposed to find one rat?

Yeah. There is-- There ya go. [ Crowd Cheering ]

What are you doing? I'm watchin' the game.

[ Announcer ] Twenty yard line. Runs down there--

Hey, we-- we already caught the rat anyway, huh? Huh?

You see, that's exactly what's wrong with this country.

Nobody takes pride in their work anymore. [ Announcer Continues ]

Well, I do. I'm a professional.

What are you sayin'?

Nothin'. Never mind.

What? You're gonna take a flamethrower for a rat?

[ Chuckles ] No, Bay City breath.

This is no ordinary flamethrower.

See, I modified this baby myself.

I just find the rat, aim...

and... kazoom.

You got a light?

[ Angie ] Those bastards. They don't give a damn about Mark.

They just think that-- that-- [ Al ] Angie, this ain't gonna help.

[ Sighs ]

I'm just so... [ Sighs ] frustrated.

[ Footsteps ] The police didn't believe our story.

The dean is acting like nothing ever even happened,

and there's not a damned thing we can do about it.

[ Toilet Flushes, Distant ] Mark wouldn't be sitting around.

He would have gone out and gotten proof.

[ Sloshing In Water ]

Al, it stinks down here.

What makes you think we're gonna find him here anyway?

Because it stinks. Rats like this kind of shit.

[ Footsteps Sloshing ] What if we get lost?

Got it taken care of.

- This is scary shit. - What?

[ Sighs ]

The plant seems to have retained the growth formula without significantly altering it.

You mean, eating this would be like taking an injection of the growth hormone?

Ah, it's possible. On top of it, I found rat saliva in the tomato specimens.

This is scary shit.

All right. We know it exists unaltered in the mutants-- human, plant or animal.

Now, if I can find an agent that neutralizes the hormone, it should work on the kid--

on rats too, for that matter.

I think a few shotgun blasts would be more appropriate treatment for those suckers.

[ Footsteps ]

[ Mop Sliding On Floor ] That's enough, Zeke. You can finish up later, huh?

Sure, Doc. Need some industrial strength cleaner anyway.

- This blood's dried up crustier than old Delhurst. - [ No Audible Dialogue ]

What happened, Neil? I was running some tests.

- On animals? - It doesn't matter now.

It doesn't matter? My friend was killed here last night.

- No one asked him to break in. - And who asked you to play God with these animals?

Look, Alex. It was important. I needed to run those tests.

That doesn't justify torture.

[ Footsteps Departing ]

[ Neil ] Alex! Wait a minute, will ya?

Hey!

Will you slow down a second?

Why should I? [ Both Panting ]

'Cause I can't explain a thing to you if you're running away.

Come on.

You okay? Yeah.

Damn it. Told you to buy the alkaline.

I did. You left it on.

Well, if you noticed I left it on, why didn't you turn it off?

Al, I think we came this way already.

No chance. I've marked in every tunnel.

[ Squealing ]

[ Announcer, On TV ] You're looking at the classic, drop-back passer.

Oh.

How's the cancer research with Professor Delhurst going?

Let's just put it this way, Elaine. It's high time I got back to my doctoral thesis.

What's it on? Ancient altican cures for androgenic alopecia.

How and why they worked. "Androgenic alopecia"?

Baldness.

[ Josh ] Hey Alex. He's got it. [ Telephone Rings ]

Yeah.

Yeah, Dean. I'll be right there. [ Hangs Up Phone ]

See you guys later.

Well, let me tell ya. I've seen an awful lot of rats in my time--

some big, some very, very small--

but that was the Loch Ness Monster of rats.

Closest one to this, I think, was back in 1985.

[ Lieutenant, Indistinct ] We were doing a sweep of the sewers in the old city hall.

I wanna see it.

Well, it's not a pretty sight. Just show me.

[ Exterminator ] We're out two of my best men.

And we always get our rat.

I meant the rat.

This isn't the rat. [ Dean ] Of course it is.

There is no yellow spot. The rat I injected had a yellow spot on it.

Hey, you're lookin' at a barbecue, buddy.

This rat could've been a goddamn dalmatian for all we know.

That's right, Neil. And we have the absolute assurance from the exterminator...

that this was the only one.

Why don't you listen to me? This is not the same rat, which means there are others.

Really, Neil, I think you're being just a bit paranoid.

It's all over.

I came as fast as I could.

This is incredible.

How did you do this? Do you realize the possibilities?

Your assistant is lying here dead,

and all you can think of are the scientific possibilities?

How is the poor boy? [ Clears Throat ]

All right, guys. Let's get this thing outta here.

Come on! Quit standin' around. All right, Lieutenant Weizel.

[ Squeals ] What was that?

Al, did you hear something? Nope.

Neil? It's Kate. Look, we're running out of time.

Bobby tried to get away last night. The guards had to stop him.

He wasn't badly hurt, but he's completely out of control.

His strength is overpowering, and he's still growing.

I've had to sedate him and-- Neil, I am so afraid. [ Clock Ticking ]

All finished, Lieutenant? Well, there's a few things that concern--

I'd like this tidied up as soon as possible. Dean, you can't ignore this.

[ Sighs ] This is, uh, just a car accident.

Since when do cars eat your liver?

We'll let the police worry about that. And what about the other deaths?

Zeke. The kid who got hit by a car. Half his ass was bitten off. Coincidence.

Coincidence? Are you outta your mind? Ah, look, relax, huh?

Listen. Why don't we wait and see what the coroner says. All right?

Well, a lot more people are gonna get hurt...

while you guys are sitting around waiting for autopsies...

that tell you something that's staring you right in the face! [ Hits Car Hood ]

What does it cost to run your lab, Hamilton--

to pay for your salaries, research, the roof over your head?

Come on, Dean. We don't have time-- Any idea...

what it costs to run an entire university?

I know.

And I know how to keep it running, because that's my job.

I also know that if this university is shut down...

because of giant rats,

no one is gonna send their kids here, and no one is gonna donate one red cent.

Tonight is the grand opening of that building.

There are going to be a lot of wealthy alumni with checkbooks in hand.

Do you understand me?

prevent any further occurrences of vandalism.

For instance, this...

should always be locked when you're not here.

Mmm. Why don't you quit insulting my intelligence and get the hell out of here?

[ Chuckles ] Neil, what can you be thinking?

Look. I'm sorry you lost your data,

but if I find you here one more time, I'm gonna give you more trouble than you can handle.

Okay. Okay. I'm leaving. But you're wrong about this, Neil.

You can't possibly believe that I, a fellow scientist, would actually stoop to--

Did you hear the news? Not much.

The administration hardly said a word. And I'm worried about Al and Angie.

They didn't come home last night. [ Josh ] Listen, Neil.

I've got a great idea. Rats have a terrific sense of smell.

A female rat in heat can pick up a male scent from a long way off.

If we can inject a female rat with the growth hormone, she'll lead us to the males.

How do we know she'll be interested? We don't,

but, uh, I think it's all we got.

Let's get to work. We're gonna need a map of the sewer system, and some kind of...

a radio direction device.

Uh, we're also gonna need a rat in heat.

[ Squeaking ]

Oh, no. Not her. I'll go to the biology lab and I'll find one.

I would wonder if a radio device will work in the sewers.

[ Squeaking ]

Sometimes I think he loves you more than me.

Well, I don't know about that.

She never liked me.

She's just jealous.

I got a copy of the sewer plans. Good.

What's that? Well, with any luck, it's gonna be the antidote.

Lieutenant Weizel just called. He wants you down the pedestrian tunnels right away.

[ Siren Blaring ]

Oh. [ Indistinct ] Josh. [ Groans ]

Don't worry about it.

[ Sighs ] I know, buddy. We're gonna get you to the med center. Don't worry about it.

You son of a bitch.

I see you're smoking again.

Smell it on your breath. [ Laughs ]

Give me one.

Okay.

Hang on, bud.

[ Exhales ]

It works.

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles, Sobs ]

Now will you admit there's a problem?

She's right. We gotta do somethin'.

Of course, we've got to do something.

I'll, uh, call in the exterminators. Lieutenant, you get together your best men.

Find them and kill them. Kill them all.

We have got a plan.

We can lead you to their nests. A professional can take care of this.

I want extra security around the sports complex tonight.

The official opening is in two hours, and I see no reason to alarm anyone.

Get on it! Now!

You listen to me now, Dean.

Now how many people are gonna die because you-- When are you gonna stop?

I want you out of here, Hamilton! One hour!

Out of your lab, out of this university! Lieutenant!

You see this man on campus, I want you to arrest him for trespassing!

[ Grunts ] Get on that elevator!

[ Neil Grunts ]

All right!

Go on!

This is a licence to print money.

[ Chuckles ]

Reaction to the hormone is as expected-- immediate and rapid growth!

I'm gonna be rich. I'm gonna be rich! I'm gonna be rich and famous!

Perhaps, on top of everything else,

this is a cure for baldness.

I will now test the dehaired cells of a canine.

[ Whimpers ]

Amazing. [ Gasps ]

The cells are multiplying at an incredible rate.

Mitosis at the speed of light!

[ Squealing ]

Hi, old girl. [ Squeaks ]

Well, it looks like you're going to be coming with me after all.

So will I. [ Squeals ]

Uh-- This is also the occasion...

of our first annual synchronized swimming championships.

And I know that this will be an evening none of us will ever forget.

She stopped.

She's maybe a hundred meters ahead.

We're at Level 7G. It's the lowest part of the system. She must've found the nests.

[ Neil ] Look at these.

We gotta do something!

I've got an idea. Come on!

Hold your fire! I can get them in the courtyard!

How? How? Never mind. Just have your men there, buddy!

Backup! I need backup upstairs in the courtyard! Just get it up there now!

Come with me. Where, man?

Never mind. Just come with me. Come on.

Hello? Kate!

Neil. Wh-What's happening there? I've been trying to reach you.

Look, I'll explain to you when I get there. Everything's gonna be all right.

Please, Neil. You've got to hurry.

Bobby has lost his mind. Really, we cannot control him any longer.

He's dangerous.

Kate, just hang on.

[ Heavy Footsteps ] Just a few more hours, I can be there.

[ Muffled Scream ]

[ Screams Louder ] Kate? Kate!

Kate! Kate!
