Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

You okay? You okay? Are you okay?

What was that?

What was that?

A mistake.

Do you think it's in pain?

What?

It's not formed right.

We don't know that.

I'm gonna kill it.

Wait!

There's still a lot we can learn.

We can find out how close we came...

...to something sustainable.

Clive.

It's okay.

It's all right.

It's not all right.

It's wrong.

Do we have to do this?

You don't have to. I'll take care of it.

Jesus, I think it's dead.

What?

Hold this.

- Careful, careful.

- Yeah, yeah.

Yep.

I'll bag it.

Well...

...at least it's not in pain now.

Yeah.

It's empty.

Clive?

Clive?

Clive?

Gavin.

Clive!

- What happened?

- It's alive.

Oh, Jesus.

Don't! Don't, don't! Lt'll get out.

Sh*t!

Sh*t.

- Get out of there. I'm gonna gas it.

- Wait.

Don't kill it.

Elsa, get out, okay? I'm hitting the gas.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

In three, two, one!

Clive, I said don't!

Put your f***ing mask back on, Elsa!

Listen! Goddamn it,

you never listen to me!

Put your damn mask on! It's dangerous!

Elsa, please.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

It's imprinting.

You're really something, aren't you?

Come on. Come on. Get out.

Get out! Get out! How about listening?

Are you crazy? Huh?

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

I had the situation under control.

You had it under control?

You're forgetting why we came here.

You know what?

We can't do that now, all right? Look at it.

What's that supposed to mean?

Let's just knock it out with some ether,

find out what we've got.

This is unbelievable.

I don't even know what half of this is.

There must be some rogue elements.

Junk genes pushing through.

Be careful with that.

It's some kind

of self-defense mechanism.

Yeah, or attack venom.

None of her animal components

have predatory characteristics.

Well, there's the human element.

What are these?

- Lungs?

- No. These are the lungs.

Tumors?

Well, I guess we'll find out

in the autopsy.

This wasn't supposed to go this far.

It wasn't even supposed to go full-term.

But it did.

What happened to,

"We're just gonna prove we can do it"?

So, what are you saying?

You really gonna kill it? Hmm?

Do you think you can do that?

Look.

It's growing fast.

Yeah. It's aging fast.

Days within a matter of minutes.

- You think it's the Ambystoma gene?

- It might be.

The point is, this thing's

gonna die soon anyway.

We're gonna get to observe its entire

life-cycle in compressed time.

We'll never get an opportunity

like this again.

So it's dying.

She's dying. All by herself.

Estrogen level's been low these days.

What?

How long?

What are you talking about? What do
