Hey, I thought we were gonna play ball!
Come on! Come on!
Stay, Bo-Jay.
Hey, Mr. Higgins.
You boys see somethin' come down around here
About ten minutes ago?
Yeah, it's back in the woods, in the clearing.
It's really incredible.
Come on, you have to come see it.
It's just through here.
♪♪♪
Sam, great to see you. How you been?
Jarvis, good to see you.
- This is doctor sefton. - Mary. Hi.
Sam. Hi.
What the hell's he doing here?
This Is Important, Sam.
Sorry about the short notice.
No problem. They have their ids?
So I'm a Cavanaugh now. We're tourists.
If anyone asks, I'm Charles Cavanaugh.
Dr. Sefton is your sister.
My sister?
Of whom you are extremely fond, in a clean-Cut, healthy,
All-American sort of way.
So where's my sister been all my life?
Dr. Sefton is on loan to us from NASA.
Jarvis, get the trunk for me, will ya?
Since when did the office start drafting civilians?
All you need to know for now is that in the scheme
Of things, she is much more valuable to us than you are.
And I take it you're as valuable as ever.
Naturally.
So, if the two of you are being shot at,
Which bullet do I take?
You must try for both, of course.
So tell me, Charles, what's so important to drag
You out of your office and into the field?
Something unusual was reported entering
Our atmosphere last night.
One of our keyhole satellites picked this up.
You wanna give me a hint?
See the little blur in the upper left-Hand corner?
Yeah, the analysts speculate that that's where the U.F.O.
May have landed.
That's all we have?
We immediately sent in two agents: Dietman and truly.
They have failed to report back, and we have
Not been able to contact them.
Peripheral reports?
Well, the usual ground sightings.
Reports of a landing.
And then a local TV station sent in a mobile unit
To do a spot-Cast.
And they reported that, indeed, a U.F.O. Had landed.
An hour later they changed their tune.
Claimed that it was a hoax, a fraud perpetrated
By a couple of farm boys who had built this spaceship.
Nice sign.
Olly-Olly-Oxen Free!
That'S Not Fair!
You go ahead, I'll catch up. Okay.
So tell me, Mary, what exactly do you do for NASA?
My specialty's exobiology.
Exobiology? Mm-Hmm.
It's a study of what alien life forms might be like.
You actually make a living at that?
Mmm. Seems Like Lt'D Be Mostly Guesswork.
We had a joke in school that ours was the only science
That didn't have a subject matter.
Huh. So you people are with the office
Of scientific intelligence?
Is that right? Yeah.
'Til two days ago, I hadn't even heard of it.
No, you wouldn't have.
Our existence isn't public knowledge.
Eisenhower started o-Sci back in '59.
Technically, we're an offshoot of the c.I.A.,
But the old man runs it like his own private dictatorship.
Pay for this, will you, Sam? Sure, Charles.
Three for the, uh, flying saucer.
What do you hear, Sam?
No birds. Hmm.
Right.
No birds.
Why spend all your money-- He's old enough
To make his own decisions.
Yeah, Hold This.
Straight enough?
Be Right With Ya!
Okay!
We'Ve Traveled A Long Way.
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Care to see inside, sir? Only a buck more.
Well, that's a bargain, isn't it?
- Let's have a look, shall we? - Sure. Hi.
Let's see. Three dollars. There you go.
So, How Much
Have you made so far?
About 320.
I'll go first.
Thanks.
Could you help me here? Thanks.
Thank you.
Let's go, lady.
I'm tryin' to run a business here.
Don't risk it, Mary. It doesn't look safe.
Of course it is.
We've been takin' people through all day.
Well, she balked at the pirates
Of the Caribbean, so--
Come on.
You know what? Keep the money, guys. We're
Running late. Come on, Mary.
Come on. Thanks, guys.
Well, Charles? Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Mary?
I couldn't see anything down there,
But there was definitely something strange going on.
Look, what about the burn marks?
The burn marks were real.
Something landed there.
Something landed there, but not that thing.
So why that thing, hmm? Why the cover-Up?
Go on, Mary.
There was something odd about those boys.
Same with the man at the gate and the one in the woods.
What,
Precisely? All right, look, I know this doesn't necessarily
Qualify as scientific evidence, but a woman is used
To a certain response from men when we meet them;
And from those boys, I didn't even get
The automatic-- Like when I was
Introduced to Sam, he did this.
I did not do that.
Based on what I was doing with my blouse,
They should've tried to look down my top, something.
They wouldn't have had to try very hard. Sam.
We're going to go to the TV station that
Broadcast those conflicting reports.
Try something, and let me know if you get
The same reaction, all right?
Yes, sir. Let's go.
Did I really do that when we first met?
You're still doing it.
Jarvis, stay by the car.
All right, I'll keep it up there.
I'll be waiting for you.
That's fine.
The f.C.C. Does not take misrepresentation lightly,
Mr. Barnes.
We made an explanation over the air, Mr. Cavanaugh.
What else do you want?
We fell victim to a practical joke.
It was a mistake. We're only human, after all.
Damn. Can I borrow your pen?
Well, I've seen the site,
And I find it difficult to imagine that a couple
Of farm boys could've pulled off a hoax like that
On their own.
Are you implying that my station was in on it?
Be realistic.
- Hold it! - Uhh!
He's still moving.
- Oh, my god. - Well, well, well.
- What the hell is that? - Our visitor, I presume.
Careful.
No, Sam! I want to take it back.
Give me that case.
Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Barnes.
We will be in touch with you just as soon
As I have completed the investigation.
They're on their way right now.
Let's go, Sam.
Oh. Sorry.
Zoom in, one. This way.
Camera three, pull out.
What are these people doing--
Billy, they're coming through. Stop them, Billy.
Let'S Start With
What you should do in an emergency.
If you can stay calm, those around you
Will react calmer, especially if you have children.
Once you are calm, then you can put a plan into place.
Can I see some I.D., Please, sir?
Sam, you drive. Jarvis, get in the car!
Get away from the car, officer.
Get in the car.
He's on the car!
Get off!
- Get him off!
- Whoa!
- Sam, get him off!
" Sam!
It's the kid from the spaceship!
Get him off the car!
Jarvis!
Help him!
Oh, my god!
Sam, are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right. Good.
Make Sure Langley
Understands that it is crucial that we stop this
Before it can spread any further.
I want that town sealed up completely.
Put up a perimeter, roadblocks--
You can't use local police because they
Have been compromised.
Right? Now, the troops that you do send in
Should be ordered to put up a challenge
And respond at 100 yards,
And put a bullet through anyone who comes
Closer than 50 yards.
Now, get Holland to take a hazard response team
And investigate the landing site.
There is no time to waste. Mary.
Thanks. Sure.
They should exercise extreme caution,
But I want to know everything.
Wasn't supposed to happen like this.
What wasn't?
First contact.
What'd you expect, E.T.?
No, but it would've been nice.
I never really liked that little troll.
Look. He's in his element now.
He's only really happy during a crisis.
Yeah. Alive.
A little tense between you two, huh?
Yeah, well, he's my father.
♪♪♪
Wow. This is incredible.
Graves. Quite incredible.
There will be plenty of time for amazement later.
Right now I urgently need facts.
Okay, here's one: It's dead.
Are you sure? Huh?
No, uh, body heat, no electrical activity,
And no movement.
My Guess Is, If We Vented The Chamber, Lt'D Be
Pretty ripe in there.
We gave it quite a jolt of electrical current.
Probably vascular collapse, although most parasites,
When they're separated--
Dr. Sefton will define what we're dealing with here.
All right, how do you wanna handle this?
Well, we need to know how the creature is able
To interface with the human nervous system.
I Think Lt'D Be Best If We Split Into Teams,
Each one focusing on a different aspect
Of the alien:
Biochemistry, physiology, reproduction.
Mm-Hmm. Endocrinology.
Wait a minute.
We need to know-- What we need to know
Is who we're fighting and how to fight them.
Is that clear to both of you?
Now, it's 1:00. In two hours,
I'm calling a meeting at the office.
Make sure you have something for me by then.
Brad. Cover.
Okay, Jim, tape this, and get a water sample.
I'll be damned.
You want me to wait?
Hey, man, I wouldn't do that to you.
Hey!
Any trouble in Iowa? Not like you people had.
I heard you had to take a couple of people out.
These weren't people. Not anymore.
You shoot, they just keep on comin'.
- Any word on dietman and truly?
Anyone told their wives yet?
Not yet. Hmm.
SO WHAT ARE WE
Lookin' at here?
It looked like something organic had eaten its way
Down into the earth below the water table.
Now, whatever it was hiding in that fake saucer was moved.
All that was left was a hole filled with water.
What's your guess?
How many of those things could've been in that hole?
Well, based on the size of the cavity,
Could've been thousands.
Now, I don't know if this counts for anything, but
That kid said that 320 people had gone through that ship
When we were there.
That was about 11 hours ago.
What's the population of ambrose?
10,001.
All Right, Mary, Let'S Go.
Okay.
Please keep in mind we were a little rushed.
Here's the creature, with an incision along
Its ventral surface.
And the first thing that stands out
Is the structural complexity of its neocortex.
In a human, brain tissue accounts for about 5 percent
Of total body mass, but in this creature--
And here's the brain tissue here--
It accounts for about 60 percent.
This black tentacle, which we saw jet across Barnes' office,
Contains a probe which seems to act as some sort of interface
Between the creature and its host.
The probe penetrates the brain,
While these hooks, here and here,
Lock into the spinal column.
Together they override the human nervous system.
Now, wait, are you saying that these, uh, slugs
Are using us like puppets?
Exactly. You didn't mention
Whether the creature has eyes--Does it?
We haven't been able to locate any sensory organs.
- Anything else?
- You know what's really interesting is that we found
Human d.N.A. And protein inside the creature,
Which means they're able to adapt themselves to whatever
Life form they're riding on;
Which means, we breathe oxygen, so they breathe oxygen.
- The two systems merge.
- That's a potential weakness. Can't we exploit it?
What affects the host might also affect the parasite.
The trick is to find something they're vulnerable to
And we're not.
Now, the people that were being ridden,
They seemed stronger than normal.
Yes, we think that they boost adrenalin production
Into their host, kind of like injecting nitro
Into a car's fuel line to make the car run faster,
But the engine will burn out sooner.
It's, uh, really quite a remarkable organism.
It's, uh, much more efficient than anything we have
Here on earth.
If you just look how elegant the cartilaginous structure is,
It's just incredible.
It doesn't use hemoglobin in oxygen transport.
It uses a chlorophyll derivative.
Jeez, graves.
I mean, he sounds like he wants to fuck the thing.
Shut Up, Holland.
Dr. Sefton, do you have any idea how we should proceed?
Well, sir, this was just a preliminary postmortem--
When did you quit smoking, Jarvis?
Must've left them in the car.
- Stop him!
- Alex.
Jarvis!
Christ, he's got one on him!
Security!
Alex! Go upstairs!
Secure the exit! Bonnie, code 334, main gate.
Main gate. Come on, upstairs!
Ah!
Alex!
Where is it? I don't know.
Harris, get him outta here.
Sam? We got him!
My guess is that thing must've jumped onto
Whoever it ran into.
Put your gun down, Sam, slowly,
And take off your shirt.
Thank you.
Well, let's find it. Search everybody.
All right, everyone's accounted for.
One of the alien-- This was on Jarvis.
It contains every emergency contingency
That we've drawn up dealing with this
Type of crisis since '59.
One of the alien life forms is loose in the building.
We have to presume that it's riding on the back
Of one of us.
Sam, show them your back.
Sam is clean. Mary.
Holland, gorman, miss Haines, everybody.
Miss Haines. Everybody.
What about you, sir?
Yeah, she's right. You're not exempt.
Stop Her! Sam!
She's headed into the east wing! Come on!
Miss Haines!
Come back here!
They're down in the kitchen! All right!
I got your backup!
Damn! I Lost It!
Forget it, forget it. I lost it.
It was too quick. It went up through there.
I want that thing found tonight.
- Turn this building upside down, but find it!
- Miss Haines?
Sam, go get yourself cleaned up.
I want every second of Jarvis' time accounted for.
I want to know everything he was up to since we left Iowa.
Go get a medic, will you?
Oh, God.
He's been like this since you brought him in.
In many ways, he's exhibiting classic withdrawal symptoms,
Much like you'd find in a drug addict.
Are You Saying He Was
Actually addicted to having that thing on him?
No, he's saying that the presence of the thing
Satisfies some need or other.
Thanks, doc.
Jarvis is cold Turkey, and miss Haines is in a coma.
Are all of the victims gonna react this way?
How would you react, Holland?
One moment you have this huge brain,
The next moment you don't; Just think of it.
The job would be a hell of a lot easier if they had
A live specimen to work with.
What do you think these things are?
Let'S Have A Look.
Wow. They almost look like antennae.
- What are they receiving?
- Or transmitting, for that matter.
Radar, maybe, or sonar signals, like bats.
You think maybe that's how the, uh, aliens are able
To recognize each other?
Spare change?
Uh, Yeah?
You the manager of the building?
Yeah. Can I help you?
Need to get inside the apartment of Neil Jarvis.
Uh yeah, sure.
Just a second. Be right with you.
- Do you have a crowbar? - No, I got the keys.
Up this way.
Anybody Here?
Hello?
These arrived this morning for Mr. Jarvis. I, uh--
I let the delivery people in. Gimme a hand here.
Uh, yeah, sure.
Huh. Iowa.
Wonder what that's all about?
What the hell are those things?
Back Here In Washington,
The president's scheduled appearance at
The digital age conference
Has drawn harsh criticism from senator Allen,
Who categorized the visit as blatant grandstanding.
Make Sure The Magnetometer'S
Cranked up early.
We don't want any delays.
Has headquarters given us the name of our post standards yet?
Yes, sir. All agents confirm post assignments, please.
Gonna need more agents on that balcony
And all along this perimeter. Okay.
Sam.
Long time no see.
Good to see you too, Bruce. This is Evan Greenberg,
One of my agents.
How are you, Evan?
So, what brings you down here?
I understand the president is scheduled to make
An appearance here later today.
Yeah, if everything goes as planned.
Well, there's a situation developing that I think
You need to know about.
Can we talk in private?
Yeah.
Come on.
Okay, now, Sam, what's this all about?
Aaah!
What the hell are you doing?
Please Take Your Seats
In the main theater.
The opening session of the conference is about to begin.
Good to see you.
Welcome, Mr. President. Right this way.
Get him. Alpha one, he's headed your way.
Why don't you watch where you're going--
Hey!
Bruce, you wanna tell me what's happening here, please?
Clear?
That'S It.
Yeah, he's dead.
Are you all right, sir?
Andrew.
What in god's name is going on?
That's him! Here!
Stop! Hold it! Stop!
Hit Him Again!
Watch out!
Hold up.
Jesus, That Was Close.
You think he would've shot me?
Of course he would have.
Get him to the lab.
Sixth Degree--It'S Dilating.
Coming back with d.N.A. Analysis.
What Does All This Mean?
Uh, top line is Sam's heart rate, bottom is the alien's.
They'Re Identical.
Brain waves too.
Their nervous systems are linked.
Pulse is 120. Blood pressure, 140 over 90.
Temperature, 103.
Creatures running him hot.
Could you move the fluoroscope over to
The right profile, please?
What's this?
Some kind of electromagnetic signal.
We thought it was just background interference,
But it's coming from the parasite.
- You were right, then. Radar.
- Yeah.
- Let me hear it. - It's too high a frequency.
Wake him up. I'm going in there.
Sir, I don't think that's a good idea;
I don't think it's safe in there.
It's Sam, Lawrence.
Hmm.
Sir. It's all right. Wake him up, Jim.
Bring me that stool.
Sam.
Sam, can you hear me?
Sam isn't here anymore, Andrew.
You know me. And your dead wife.
And Mary.
You wouldn't believe the fantasies my host
Has about you, Mary.
Would you like me to tell them to you?
We Would Not.
I will ask the questions, and if you do not cooperate
I'll administer electric shocks, and you will die.
Then I will stop the heart of this host,
And it will die.
Get him back!
He's gone flat-Line!
Two Ccs Of Epinephrine!
TWO CCs OF EPINEPHRINE, STAT! I.V.
It'S Back!
He's back, he's back. Hold that epinephrine.
All right. Amazing.
My god, it has total control.
Sam, why have they come here? What do they want?
Sam?
I warned you.
- Shock him!
Ohh!
Sam?
Oh, Jesus! Sam!
Sam.
I acknowledge you can hurt me, but each shock you administer
Shortens your son's life.
Do you understand?
Of course I understand.
Now you answer me.
Why are you here?
Our previous hosts ceased to be useful.
You're stronger than they were; You will last longer.
All Right.
How many are you?
One.
Sir, there may be semantic differences.
Its concept of personal identity may be
Different from ours.
No.
No. How many are you?
One.
Sam, do you have any idea how many of them there are?
It was thinking "one."
It doesn't know why you keep--
Always giving orders, aren't you, Andrew?
Always telling people how to run their lives.
Maybe that's why you're so lonely.
Did you ever think of that?
Maybe that's why your son resents you so much.
You won't be lonely when you're one of us;
No one will be.
- For god's sakes, tell us what you want.
- Peace.
Say good-Bye to your son, Andrew.
Sam.
OH, Jesus, IT'S KILLING HIM.
- Get it off him! Get it off!
Sam!
It's gone.
Welcome back.
I'm sorry you had to go through that, son.
Those things I said, dad-- It wasn't me talking.
Come on.
Do you remember what happened?
I was aware the whole time.
I was conscious of what I was doing,
What was happening to me, but-- It was like having
One of those dreams where you're paralyzed.
I mean, no matter how much I tried to move or scream,
I just couldn't.
It had total control over me.
It's like an open book to them.
They could read everything that was in my mind--
My thoughts, my fears, my memories, everything.
Did they have thoughts?
I remember something about their ship.
It wasn't a ship, though. It was a--
A nerve center,
A hive.
Have to get back to it.
I have to share information with the others.
You know where it is?
Do you?
No, I'm, I'm not sure where, but--
Get some rest. Get some rest.
Let me know as soon as you can when I can try again.
Say good-Bye to your son, Andrew.
Ah, that's enough of that. Take it off.
Sir, the parasites run their hosts
At a body temperature higher than normal,
Which gives them an identifiable heat signature.
And we have been able to track that identifiable
Heat signature through thermal imaging from satellite sweeps
And R.P.B. Reconnaissance flights.
Run the I.P.V. Recording.
Now, this is ambrose,
And those red areas are creature-Controlled.
Give me maximum magnification here,
Will you, please.
I want to show you something.
Now, these are human beings with creatures
On their backs.
- What's the green dot?
- That is a human being without a creature.
He's surrounded by parasite-Controlled hosts.
And now he too has a parasite on his back.
I Won'T!
I'm not coming!
I'm Sorry, Dad.
I'm sorry!
Get him off me! Just get off of me!
Come on, now.
It's okay. It's okay, Sam.
It's okay. Okay, Sam.
Get it off me!
Okay, it's off you. It's not on you anymore.
Okay?
Okay? You're okay. You're okay.
I still--I still feel it.
It's gone. It's gone.
Shh. Shh. Okay. Okay. Shh.
Okay, okay. Shh. Shh.
You're all right. You're all right.
Have we been in contact with the governor?
What about the Iowa national guard?
No, there's no point, sir.
Those troops will have been infiltrated;
You have to go in on a federal level.
Our Nearest Troops Are The 1st Infantry Division
Out of fort Riley.
How quickly can we move on this?
We can have a rapid response tactic force in place
Within 12 hours.
I recommend, sir, we go in at night to take advantage
Of the thermal imaging.
Do it.
♪♪♪
Wait! I see something.
♪♪♪
Move Out!
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Come on. Comin' through.
Oh, shit.
General, What'S This?
This is a thermal image feed.
It's from lieutenant Abbey's unit, sir.
Shoot 'Em! Kill 'Em!
They'Re Just Kids.
They're using children?
Shoot 'Em Anyway!
We cannot think of them any longer as children;
They are the enemy.
Move, Move, Move!
General? They're here to see you, sir.
Put 'em in the office. I'll be in in a minute.
This way, men.
2-5-5-1.
Very good, sir.
We've lost satellite linkup, but we have Lt. Abbey on audio.
Situation's under control now.
We'll be bringing the children into the holding area
Shortly, then moving on to sector seven.
Thank you, gentlemen. So far, so good.
What's goin' on here?
Captain earley, sir, Iowa national guard,
Camp dodge.
We're here to provide back-Up support.
I didn't hear anything about you people
Being called in here.
Get me Washington on the line.
I'd rather you didn't.
So Did You Find
A way to kill these things?
No, Not Yet.
We're trying everything.
Different bacteria, viruses, radiation.
But so far, we've found nothing that doesn't kill the host.
See the one looking at us?
He's wearing the slug we took off you.
He's just been sittin' like that for hours.
Yeah, They Were Merging.
It's how they communicate with each other.
Oh, Yeah?
They exchange chemical signatures.
We're ready, Dr. Graves.
We should've thought of that.
Ants communicate in the same way.
Where'd you get the second parasite?
Just watch.
We set up a keyboard in there in case they want to talk to us.
Vargas, note the time.
Does the old man know about this?
We wanted to make sure. Here we go again.
This Is How They Reproduce.
Second adult parasite in minutes.
Vargas, get the old man on the line.
Watch What They Do
To the little one.
The new one knows me.
I've got general Morgan reporting in.
Andrew nivens here, general.
How is it going down there?
It Was Touch And Go
For a while there, but we think the worst is over.
It's your son. Hang on, Sam.
We've got 70% of the area contained, and we've been able
To keep casualties fairly low.
Thank you, sir.
Would you take off your shirt, please,
And turn your back to the camera?
- Is this a joke?
- No, it's not a joke. Take off your shirt.
I don't take my orders from you, sir.
Order him to take off his shirt.
Sam, go on.
I'm sorry, general.
Would you humor us for a moment, please?
God.
There's no signal coming in.
All right, what's going on?
Andrew?
The transmission isn't lost, sir.
The transmission has been cut off because general Morgan
Has been taken, and we can assume that his troops
Are now our enemy.
We've been getting reports from all over that the situation
Has been contained.
The reports are faked. We're being manipulated.
I have just been told
That their numbers are increasing
Infinitely more than we had anticipated.
We've lost a town, sir. Now we've lost an army.
They're capable of transmitting not just intelligence,
But memory from one body to the next just by coming
Into physical contact with one another.
And the new one knew Sam just as if it had been the one
Riding on his back?
Yes.
How long does it take the creature
To prepare for division?
Twelve hours.
So, let's assume we started with a thousand of them.
Now, we'll be conservative.
That's, uh, one day, four thousand.
Two days, 16 thousand.
In two weeks, there would be-- More than 250 billion.
Yo U okay?
I don't know why your father picked me.
I'm not gonna be able to find the answer.
Mary, wait.
He knows what he's doing. You'll find something.
No, Mary, you will.
Thanks, Sam.
He's given everyone a few hours off to recuperate.
I don't have time to go back to the hotel;
I'm just gonna go back to the lab.
No, wait.
Look, I just live a few blocks from here.
Okay.
♪♪♪
That wasn't very friendly.
I wouldn't take it personally. He's kind of a prima Donna.
How about if I make a fire?
That'd be great.
Is that okay for him to go out like that?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He comes and goes.
Is this your mom? Yeah.
She's pretty.
She died about a year after that picture was taken.
And what was it like growing up with him?
Boot camp. I'll bet.
Whenever he was working at home,
Which was most of the time, he'd give me a quarter
For every hour I could keep quiet.
One day, I remember it was a Saturday morning,
I decided I wasn't gonna say anything until he did,
Even if it took all weekend.
But he never said anything.
And I don't think he even noticed.
So, how much did you make?
Oh, uh--
About 12 Bucks.

It's the old man.
Yeah?

Mary got it off your cat? Jesus.
They're taking her back to their hive.
I'm positive.
If they've taken her back there, there's nothing
We can do about it.
I'm going after her.
No, you're not!
It's a goddamned suicide mission. I won't allow it.
Dad, you're fighting an enemy you don't understand!
Sam, I'm not adding your name to the casualty list.
I have to find their hive and get inside.
If I can get inside, I can get information.
Sam! Sam.
In 12 hours, that whole area's gonna be a war zone.
You're not thinking rationally.
Dad, I'm sick of thinking rationally!

The roads are completely jammed
It's receiving okay.
Amidst rumors that Minneapolis has been invaded.
Civil authorities are fighting to keep
The situation under control.
But as you can see, they are not having much luck.

Now I know that there's some sort of a hive
That they have to go back to on a regular basis.
Some central source. Intelligence replenishing.
Exactly.
Okay, let's run this.
Now, I've had the analysts sort through all the thermal-Image
Data that we've gathered in order to plot the expansion
Of the alien colony.
This is a satellite picture of Iowa the night
The U.F.O. Was first sighted.
Here, day one. Now watch.
The irregular orange shape represents the spread
Of the colony over the last five days.
Now, what you'd expect,
If it's necessary to stay close to the hive, and given
The topography of Iowa,
Is that the shape would be roughly circular.
So, we rationalized it into three overlapping circles.
Could you do that, please?
If we shrink these circles back,
We find the location of the hive at different times.
And Each Time,
The hive is on the river.
That could be how they moved it.
All right, this is where it all started.
This is where the hive is now.
Des moines. Makes sense.
High Population Density, And Lt'D Be Easier To Defend.
We've narrowed its location to a ten block radius
Within the downtown city center.

Get nivens on the radio.
The boy has encephalitis, which causes inflammation
Of the brain tissue.
It's not fatal to humans if it's treated in a few days.
But the aliens are 60% brain matter,
So it should kill them first, allowing us to save the host.
How long has it been? Thirty-Three minutes.
There's still the question of disease vectors;
How the disease would spread.
Mosquitos. Yes.
Mosquitos.
We can just release infected batches over the areas
Controlled by the aliens.
Good.
OH, Jesus.
That'S Disgusting.
Thirty-Three minutes, eighteen seconds.
That's it. We've done it.
Yes, but how do we get to them all?
They've spread so far.
We don't need to. There's only one alien.
We've been thinking in terms of millions,
But it's a single creature with a million parts.
The same way they transmit information to each other,
They'll transmit the disease.
It'll set off a chain reaction.
We can infect the entire colony as if it were a single body.
Perfect.
