what we were dealing with.

You were going to gas her?

That was the decision.

It makes you feel mad.

You feel mad that you had to

kill her, don't you?

I don't know.

Yes.

Yesterday the body of a transient was

found in a boxcar near Salt Lake City.

Preliminary DNA tests conclude...

...he was killed by our creation,

by our Sil.

Found any other bodies?

- Not yet.

- You will.

She's a predator.

Her eyes are in front...

...so she can judge the distance

to her prey.

That's right.

Where'd you learn that?

I saw it on the Discovery Channel.

I caught that show myself.

- Mr. Lennox.

- Yeah?

As the...

...non-scientist amongst us,

are you clear about what's going on?

I think so.

You created a monster...

...with a formula you got

from outer space.

The damn thing got away. Now you

want us to hunt it down and kill it.

Now, is that pretty close?

I guess.

You don't want us...

...to capture her alive

so that we can study her?

Laura, I think this is strictly a

search and destroy operation.

Nobody ever asked me to find

anything they didn't want dead.

I'm sorry for you.

Yeah, well...

Thank you, Dan.

I'm sorry for her.

May I have your attention, please?

Welcome to Los Angeles. This is

the terminal stop for the Desert Star.

All passengers please disembark.

Something bad happened here.

- No sh*t.

- Crushed her larynx.

She was afraid.

She's scared, frightened.

Hungry too.

She's been eating like a horse.

Our girl is definitely not on a diet.

She's storing calories for something.

Any ideas?

Oh, my...

Well, that's...

That looks like some sort of...

...chrysalis. Some kind of cocoon.

What are we looking for,

a giant moth?

If that is a cocoon...

...she'll be fully-grown now.

- Fully-grown.

Maybe that's how

she got by our people.

They were looking for a child.

She is a child.

It stinks in here. I'm going outside.

Get the conductors' ID and credit card

numbers on your computer.

There's no sign of them on the train.

- Let's assume she took them.

- I'll see to that.

She kills if she's threatened.

And she has no remorse about it.

None.

Of course, Los Angeles

is perfect for her.

It's a city of the future.

Anything goes.

Totally mobile population.

Everyone's a stranger.

Very little is taboo or unacceptable.

Whatever she does,

no one will notice her.

Well, whatever. So...

Los Angeles is where the battle

will be fought...

...and won.

You look very pretty.

Do you have a hundred?

Here we are.

Be more careful with your money.

Not everybody's as honest as me.

Are you foreign?

Do you speak English?

- Yes.

- Here. You keep this.

Here, let me take this.

Be careful here.

Yes.

Watch your step.
