Our laboratory, Visitor Base One...

...is being moved to some empty virus

research labs at the university.

They're moving our equipment now.

It'll be operational by 8:00.

Check into your rooms. Everyone out

front in 15 minutes. We'll go over.

What will we do?

Process the evidence from the train.

Could we try growing this creature

with its own DNA?

We do a version without ours this time

and investigate its vulnerabilities.

That'd be good.

- Then I could know how it feels.

- Makes sense.

This human life form could be a mask.

Without the camouflage...

You're right. At least we'd know

what we were dealing with.

A couple of bozos just ran out.

I got a customer.

- Yes, young lady. Can I help you?

- I want a room.

62, including tax. That'll just

about cover the Honeymoon Suite.

Hi. Come here often?

What's your sign?

Tired of brunette?

Change.

Change the color of your hair.

Color-Tress.

I've increased the magnification.

When I pierce the cell,

the foreign DNA will be introduced.

Sh*t!

The camera's gone down.

Excuse me.

Do you have a replacement camera?

We do, but it'll take time for

the technician to replace it.

No. This happens in my lab

all the time. It's simple to replace it.

You saying you can do it?

Sure I can. I just need somebody

to give me a hand.

I don't want technicians in there.

This is classified.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

- Man of action, I like that.

- That's me.

Can you get that one for me?

Give me the camera.

Something's... Something's wrong.

Christ, It's started already.

- It's started. Get the top back on.

- What?

Laura, Press, get the top back on.

Here you go.

She must have penetrated the cell.

- Sh*t.

- What was that?

He dropped the bolt.

- Find the bolt. Get the top on.

- I'm looking, Fitch.

Can they hear me in there?

Laura, Press...

...get the top on, then I'll let you out.

- Where'd it go?

- It fell through the grate.

- Can you lift it up?

- It's not gonna move.

- This isn't going anywhere.

- No, can't get it!

- Press...

...you gotta get the bolt!

- Can't get it. The floor's welded down.

- Oh, my God.

Press. Oh, my God.

- I've never seen anything like this.

- Holy sh*t.

I can't let them out.

- Press, look.

- Come on.

Fitch, let us out of here!

Open the goddamn door!

- Not until I know what's in there!

- Open it now!

- Let them out.

- I can't!

- Open up the f***ing door!

- Let us out!

- Tell me it'll stop growing, Dan.

- It's not, let them out!

Open up the door!

Press, Press.

What the f*** is that?!

Laura, get to the other door!

- Let her out, Fitch!

- I can't!

- Let her out!

- I can't!

- You motherf***er!

- Let her out!

- You've gotta let them out!
