I don't want to hear it.
Honestly, I'm sick of listening
to your lies.
Listen to what I'm saying.
I heard you. But Donna told me
everything you're saying and will say.
- Damn!
- What?
Something touched my hand.
- What are you doing, Quint?
- Hold on a second.
What the--?
You haven't listened to
a word I've said.
You know that crazy girl
means nothing to me.
Yeah, well...
You have to have
I guess I do.
It's tight, but I'm getting through.
Better you than me.
Hey, I heard that.
So how's the ammonia levels, doc?
Point zero-nine-eight.
Pay dirt, partner.
Looks like a medium roost.
Antrozous pallidus, I think.
I'll try to get in.
If it gets too tight,
you need to turn around...
...because you do not wanna rely
on me getting your ass up here.
What happened to
sending in a camera?
Jimmy, you know I prefer
the hands-on approach, right?
- Would you do me a favor?
- What?
Remind me to lay off the cheesecake.
You're talking to a brother. I don't
mind extra weight in the right place.
About five meters.
Mostly mothers and young.
You might lose me in a minute.
Sheila, you know I hate
when that happens.
That's all right.
I got 911 programmed in on the cell.
Jimmy, if you hate bats and caves
so much, what are you doing with me?
For one, I won't lie.
You kind of cute.
And two, I like them,
but at a distance...
...a real distance,
like on Wild Kingdom.
That's why you're down there
and I'm up here. What the hell?!
There's some kind of--
What the hell is this?
All the dust!
Who are you?
Why are you landing that thing here?
I'm Dr. Tobe Hodge,
the CDC in Atlanta.
Dr. Casper...
...we need your help immediately.
A plane's waiting to fly us to Texas.
Wait a second. Hold on a minute.
You're the best in your field,
so we came directly to you.
That's Dr. Alexander McCabe.
He'll be accompanying us.
I don't mean to pry,
but what's this about?
There's a biological emergency.
What kind of biological emergency?
Bats, Dr. Casper.
Bats.
- Sheriff Kimsey?
- Dr. Hodge.
Appreciate y'all coming.
We have some gear.
I can see that.
You must pack a lot of clout there.
The CDC considers this assignment
to be very important.
Good.
Well, hell, let's get to it then.
So, ma'am, you're a doctor
of what exactly?
Wildlife zoology with a speciality
in Chiroptera.
Bats, sheriff. I work with bats.
Bats.
So does that make you a bat-ologist?
It makes me a wildlife zoologist
with a speciality in Chiroptera.
To be honest with you, I've never
seen anything like this before.
We'll take over the forensic work,
if that's all right.
Hell, yes. Take over.
I never did care too much
for the sight of blood myself.
It's a damn shame.
Some folks think
kids might've done this.
Some satanic cult ritual
or some other such nonsense.
Starting with the male cadaver.
temporomandibular joint at the neck...
...extends in depth all the way
to the hypoglossus muscle.
I'm sure that jugular incision was
They went for the lethal attack.
Jimmy, I'd imagine nobody'd mind
if you step outside...
...and keep Doc Swanbeck company.
That's a good idea, sheriff.
You guys just keep doing
what you're doing.
The external anterior jugulars
have been severed down to...
...the carotid on the right side
of the median.
Sheila, I'm gonna need
your confirmation now.
Looking at the neck wounds...
...l'd say we have a bite diameter
of four centimeters...
...and a circumference of,
say, 13 centimeters.
The Pteropodidae family.
This is impossible. These bats
only feed on fruit and nectar.
This can't be.
- Excuse me?
- This must be some sick hoax.
Unfortunately, we're certain
this is not a hoax.
Are you saying some bat did this?
I'm afraid so, sheriff.
There's something very wrong here.
This sort of thing is not
supposed to happen.
What's going on?
What is it you aren't telling me?
The number of attacks may be higher.
We've been able to confirm
these five for certain.
Yesterday was the first human
encounter that we know of.
I'd say it was a hell of a lot more
than just an encounter.
The attacks were similar and occurred
here in Texas, all in the past six days.
Impossible.
Dr. Casper?
Bats do not kill people. Period.
There must be an explanation.
One that has nothing to do
with bats, and therefore...
...nothing to do with me.
Miss Casper.
You're right.
But the bats that we're talking about,
they're very...
...special.
Special...
In what way?
Exactly what are we
talking about, doctor?
The two bats that escaped from my lab
were from lndonesia.
They're test subjects. The Pteropus
poliocephalus in question--
Hold on a minute!
We're talking about flying foxes?
Those are among the most endangered
species in the world.
And the ugliest and largest
bats you ever wanna meet.
Let me get this straight.
Are you saying you're responsible for
Dr. McCabe sought our assistance
as soon as the bats escaped.
We're here to stop them before
they kill or contaminate others.
Contaminate?
What were you guys experimenting with?
Well, let's just say it was...
...virus-based.
any further. I'm sorry.
So we're here to help you find
