Phase IV Page #2

---

we can proceed

with the next step.

The facility is completely

self contained,

except for

a primary power source

and the generator in our trucks

supplies this,

the experiment has begun.

What's wrong?

Well, I guess they're not ready

to play yet.

Dr. Hubbs,

there's already been

a twelve day over run

which averages out at 36%

when projected over the course

of the total program.

The controller would like

to get the final figure

before the fiscal period ends

on the 14th.

Shall we put you down

for one more week?

I'm sorry,

this is not a precise business.

Well, can you give us

an estimate?

We cannot study the ants

until they make an appearance.

Can we put you down

for ten more days?

This is not

a controlled experiment,

in our judgment another

occurrence in this area

is highly probable.

But we cannot command

the ants to appear.

Well is there something

you could do to hurry them up?

We have been thinking

about that.

You know, of course,

there is concern

over possible outbreaks

in other areas?

Ah, I share that concern.

My associate, Mr. Lesko,

has something to say.

Listen, I want you

to do me a favor -

I want you to call Miss Dobson,

d-o-b-s-o-n.

6-6-2-0-7-9-9 in Los Angeles.

Tell her not to take

the plane to Vegas on thursday.

Tell her it'll be

a couple more weeks and...

She'll hear from me, okay?

Did you say

a couple of weeks?

That's right.

Mr. Lesko, that's not

going to be possible,

accord--

let's see some activity.

Hi, there?

Clete!

Ants.

They got the horse,

clete, light the fire.

Kendra. Oh, my god.

Grandpa,

can't you something?

Oh, my god.

Clete, get over here.

Can't you do something?

Give me the gun.

No, no, no.

Let me go.

Clete, get her in the house,

get her in the house.

Don't kill him.

Don't kill him.

All set?

Keep down now.

That's right. Hang on.

Now this is really interesting.

You see what I do is I get to

the parameters of the problem

by breaking down the movement of

a vector of a single anthill.

Now, I don't know what

they're doing, I don't care,

I'm just breaking down

their simple basic move.

Stop, go.

Turn,

duration.

That's it period, okay?

Now I take my ant signals,

I run them through

the digitizer,

I record them on tape,

I write them down and

I search for a correlation

between what they say

and what they do.

Now assumption.

What we're seeing and hearing

are commands

being directed

at the central mass.

They warned us.

Relax.

I forgot to turn out the light.

Stop! Cut it out!

What's the matter?

Cut it out!

Come back here.

Goddamn it, will you sit...

They're all over the place.

Clete, take care of the women.

Get some help.
