If we mess this up.
It'll be the end of life
as we know it.
Load 'em up!
Are you ready?
Yeah!
The goal of the game
is to capture the flag
from Marshall House.
You must prevent them
from capturing our flag!
If you allow them
to tear off the flag
that you're wearing
Then you are out of the game,
and you have let down
your dorm-mates,
who will then never graduate
and end up on reality shows
about hoarding!
Are you clear?
Yeah!
Are you ready?
Yeah!
Get flags!
Campus security.
Is this an emergency?
Are you there?
Somebody, help me!
How's the game going?
Here's the question.
If "E" is the absolute value,
and "I" squared
is the co-value,
what's the root coefficient?
That's funny, I was just
wondering that myself.
Cross takes the snap.
Fades back into the slot,
looks down the field,
finds his man
Oh! For the touchdown!
Not bad.
And here I thought this whole
genius millionaire thing
was just compensation
for being the last one
picked in gym class.
The last one picked?
Actually, that was
Kenny Paderno.
Heard he's
a hedge fund mogul now.
So, what about you?
What's this whole
savvy power woman thing
compensation for?
Oh, I don't need to compensate.
I network.
Which is why I am so happy
that the new buyer
for the Soeng Group
is a woman.
So they're interested.
China is busy buying
everything else in the world.
Why not our quantum dot
technology?
Well, if they can keep us
from being financially dependent
on Ken Leeds
and his government lunatics.
Let me, uh,
show you how it's done.
Excuse me.
Let's see what you got.
Oh-ho
I'll call Soeng
first thing in the morning.
You can, uh, keep working on
your passing game.
Keep working on
my passing game, huh?
Hey, Ange!
Go long!
Come on, that was right
in the numbers.
Yeah, right there.
That's the spot I can't reach.
Anywhere else, you let me know.
You didn't have to work
so late just for me.
You're working nights.
When else am I
going to see you?
Naked.
Is this your house key?
Hmm?
Around your neck.
No.
Why are you wearing it
in the shower?
No reason.
Are you hoping
I'd ask about it?
No.
Because I don't need a key
to your apartment.
Who says it's for you?
But if I want it,
I know where to get it.
Toby, Toby, Toby.
Oh, you're in a good mood.
This is my zone, baby.
I get all my best ideas
after hours.
Well, personally,
I would like to have a life.
That's why I'm working on an app
that's going to buzz us
if the anomaly detector
gets a hit.
I am tired of
babysitting this thing.
Well, who's going to keep
me company?
Think I can make it?
While doing polynomials
in your head?
Yes, I do.
What have we got?
We've got
A delayed alert?
A delayed alert.
I don't want delayed alerts.
Well, of course not,
but the system has to crunch
every cell phone signal
in the city
looking for off-pattern data.
I mean,
if you want faster alerts,
you've got to get me
more servers.
Just how delayed?
The timestamp on the packet
is from 34 minutes ago.
But I mean, it's not
a big deal, right?
Like, who's gonna be up
at this hour?
At the university campus
during frosh week?
Everybody.
Try narrowing the search field,
see if we can get
a current status?
Okay.
Current status
It's already closed.
That's good news.
Yeah, if nothing
came through, it is.
Where the hell are you, Mac?
Oh, don't answer it.
It's Evan.
Tell him he owes me
for pain and suffering.
Shh
What's up?
Hey, Mac, we've got
a situation.
I need you in the field.
I'm on my way.
Another anomaly?
Where?
So this is how we play it now?
I almost die
trying to save you
from a giant bug,
and you pretend
nothing happened?
Evan doesn't want you involved.
It's dangerous,
and the fewer people that are
I'll just keep patrolling
the parking lot.
Excellent use of resources.
What do you want me to do, Sam?
It's Evan's call.
I want in, Mac.
Talk to him.
God, you're sexy.
Well, you should see me
when I get what I want.
I can be very, very grateful.
"Who's gonna be up
at this hour?"
Okay, my bad.
You getting anything?
It's hard to tell.
The field flux is so low,
it could just be background.
You know, it's not likely
we'll get magnetic traces
from a closed anomaly,
even with these new filters.
It's not likely, yeah,
but it's still possible,
and wouldn't you rather
find out now,
while nothing
is trying to eat us?
Hey, welcome to frosh week.
You're not going to
give up on this, are you?
Nope.
That's why
you love me.
See anything?
Doesn't look like
a T-Rex came through here,
if that's any comfort.
Maybe this time
we're chasing
a Jurassic butterfly.
You'd need to get
a smaller gun.
Hey, our turf, our rules.
They're only on
our turf by accident.
That's why we owe it to them
to put them back
in their own habitat.
And if the anomaly's
already closed,
like this one?
What's with the blue lights?
It's an emergency system
that connects
to campus security.
For attacks.
Has anyone given you
anything to eat
or drink tonight?
No.
What do you mean?
Well, we have some cases
of people slipping
drugs into drinks.
No, this was real!
It was like a dog,
but it wasn't a dog.
It had these teeth,
like, these huge fangs.
Are you sure
that no one's
pulling a prank on you?
I mean, you never know
what people find funny.
No, this was an animal.
It chased me down here.
I barely made it
into the bike lockup in time.
It was trying to get at me.
It only ran off
when it heard you guys coming.
You're okay now, Kate.
I mean, there's nothing here.
I can't believe this is how
my first week at school
is turning out.
I'm sure it's going to
get better.
Now, what dorm are you in?
Radcliffe.
Okay.
I think it's best
if we walk you back
to your room.
You'll find it, right?
That animal?
We'll make sure
everyone is safe.
She's lucky.
She could be dead.
Well, she's not the only one
who could wind up dead.
Look at all these
people out here.
What's her story?
Sounds like she was stalked
down that pathway
away from the crowd.
If she's right
about it being
some kind of canine
Or canine ancestor,
it makes sense.
Coyotes and hyenas,
they go after the stragglers
separated from the herd.
So it's a good thing that
there are a lot of people.
Safety in numbers.
And lots of witnesses.
Yeah, exactly,
so let's get
this thing wrapped up
before it becomes an issue.
Something was in these bushes.
It crossed that grass
over there.
Hey, Evan?
I'm getting some readings.
You don't think the anomaly
could have opened up here,
do you?
Yeah, it's possible.
So, what do you think,
did it come back here
after the attack?
Looks like it.
The tracks go
to those blue light poles,
and then
they come back this way.
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
Come on, guys,
we've got a job to do.
Yeah, right!
It's pretty
overgrown down there,
attractive habitat
for a creature out of its time.
No light.
A million places to hide.
Perfect.
There are tracks
in and out of here, too.
Apparently, it's going
hunting in the library.
It's on unfamiliar territory,
and it can't get home.
I don't think it's hunting.
I think it's hiding.
It's all the same.
Guys, let's just make sure
we're the ones who find it.
All right?
And quickly.
Oh, my God.
Look, there it is.
Dylan, you're with me.
You two, go in from down below.
It's inside.
Someone propped a door open.
The library's closed,
so unless this thing
can open doors
Looks like
we might have the little
*** cornered.
Stay close.
A lot of places to hide.
There.
Little help!
Come on! Trap it!
Let him get outside.
Hey, guys, have you
seen the creature?
We lost it at the stairs.
Haven't seen anyone
except
the security guard, and
Oh, ***, behind you!
Mac!
We'd better bag that up to go.
What the hell
are we supposed to do
with a tranq'd up dinosaur
in the middle of the night?
You know the drill.
We put it back.
What, through a closed anomaly?
Looks like we'll have to
wait for it to re-open.
What are the chances of that?
Unknown, our
data-set is too small.
You know, I love it when
you talk like my sat nav.
We've seen it happen before.
I can do some more readings,
maybe find out where
the anomaly opened at least.
I say we just snuff it
while it's out.
We're not doing that.
Why, exactly, does it matter
if we kill one man-eating lizard
from 500 million years ago?
Because, Mac!
One snowball can turn into
an avalanche.
Don't you get it?
If we kill one Stegosaurus,
then its great-great
grandstegosaurus
wouldn't be there to eat a bug
that could've eaten a snake,
that would've eaten a fish,
that could've evolved
into a mammal,
and then guess what,
we're all lizard-people.
Did you just say
a bug ate a snake?
Really? That's what you got
from that?
Would you two cut it out?
We need to focus on
getting this thing off campus.
It's not huge.
We could cage it in a truck.
Yeah, good idea.
Sam's working night shift,
isn't she?
Yeah
Good.
Call her.
Have her bring the armored
cargo van down here.
What?
She wants on the team, right?
Yeah.
Keep coming!
Little faster.
Loads of room.
Loads of room.
Keep coming
Sam, Sam!
Close enough!
Got here as quick
as I could, Mr.
Cross.
Evan.
And we try not to
drive company vehicles
at the speed of sound.
It annoys the neighbors.
I got it, sir.
Evan.
All right.
You first?
Side effect of
the sedation I gave it.
Sorry.
Bye.
That's tough luck on the shirt.
Make sure Toby
doesn't stay all night.
At least you scored
some major points with Sam.
Maybe now she will
finally take that key
that you've been wearing
around your neck.
What do you know about it?
Are you kidding me?
You've been wearing
that thing for three days.
Why don't you just
hold up a sign
that says, "I'm needy.
"
I'm not needy.
I'm wanty.
Okay.
So, where are we going?
We know Cross Photonics
is secure.
We'll take it back there
and put it in a loading bay.
Who else is in the building?
Just me
and Bill Pearson on night duty.
Good guy.
Zero curiosity about anything.
Well, it's definitely
the right night for that.
And what's Ange gonna think
of making Cross Photonics
into a temporary dinosaur zoo?
Ange?
She's never going to find out.
Mr.
Pearson.
Welcome back,
Sam-I-am.
Good evening, Mr.
Cross.
What do we have here?
It's a, uh, a prototype.
Very unique technology.
Can't be very unique.
Either it's unique
or it's not, right?
It's definitely "unique-er"
than your average unique.
We're going to be taking it out
before your shift ends.
Just make sure
nobody comes near it.
We'll observe
the high standards
of Cross Photonics
security, sir.
Evan.
Hey, um,
call us
if you need anything.
A prototype?
I don't want him
deciding to get curious.
Safer that way.
Safer or simpler?
So you've tranq'd
that thing up?
If I give it any more,
I could put it into
respiratory failure.
Should be out for
a minimum of three hours.
Okay, I'll work on
finding a secure facility
in case we have to keep it.
Just until I come up
with a better idea.
That girl needs to be convinced
that she didn't see a dinosaur.
You want me to ask her
if she's seen an anomaly?
We've tried it your way.
Now we try it mine.
Is it sad that
I kind of miss all this?
Wait, you like that type?
I may have dated
the captain
of the football team.
How did that turn out?
We broke up over a cheerleader.
Turns out we were both
sleeping with the same one.
That's her.
Hey, you're Kate?
We'd like to ask you
a few questions
about the attack earlier.
Yeah, you and everyone else
on campus.
You don't go here.
We're from the zoo.
That thing
escaped from the zoo?
Yeah, yeah.
A couple of frat boys
stole an animal as a prank.
- A wolf.
- A cheetah.
But we've caught it now.
It's all wrapped up.
You guys are serious, right?
It's not a joke.
That thing really scared me.
We're dead serious.
We never joke
about this kind of thing.
The animal's gone.
You're safe now.
Does everybody
who works at the zoo
end up smelling like you?
Did you see where it came from?
No, I just heard it
up in the trees,
and then I ran.
Did you happen to see a light?
Something really bright
with a symmetrical
rhythmic output?
Looked like a disco ball.
No, sorry.
Nothing like that.
Well, thanks for your help.
It's definitely a Therapsid,
something from
the Gorgonopsidae family
Okay, I've got
the CCTV feed up.
Everything okay with Sam?
It won't be if Bill calls.
I think she's bluffing.
You can tell from that grainy
overhead camera?
You must be hell at the table.
You should try me sometime.
You're on.
All right,
now I just have to get rid of
the delay in the alerts.
If that anomaly recurs,
we have to get back there fast.
If it doesn't open again,
we could just start
a permanent sanctuary
for stray dinosaurs.
We could call it
Cross' Critters.
Only if you muck out
the stalls.
You'd be the first person
in the world
to show people a lycaenops.
It's a permian predator
from what's now South Africa.
It's a reptile, but more like
a wolf than a cat.
See, this is all
part of my plan.
I let you think
you're kicking my ***,
and then in the last hand,
I sweep in
and take all your money.
So your plan involves
me kicking your ***?
That way your overconfidence
works in my favor.
Gotta make room
for more coffee.
And don't look at my cards.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
This is a waste of time.
It's a hypothesis, Mac.
Even if we prove it's wrong,
it's still information.
I should've said no.
I shouldn't have
brought Sam into this.
Last time I checked,
you don't give work assignments
and Sam is pretty kickass.
I'm sure she can
handle herself.
Oh, my God, the anomaly,
it opened.
Toby!
Dammit!
Closed again.
Great.
Well, maybe it will come back,
and we can send that
creature home after all.
Hey.
Hey, it's me.
Hey, me.
Where are you?
Whatcha doing?
Oh, you know,
official business.
Anything exciting?
Not really.
This dino stuff
is really boring.
You wouldn't like it.
You're so lying.
I know you went out on a limb
to get me into this,
and I am going to thank you
like you've never been thanked.
Uh, well
Sam!
Get back over here.
I think someone
may be trying
to steal this prototype.
***, Mac, I gotta go.
I'll see you
in a little while, okay?
Sam, wait.
Sam?
What is it?
Something's wrong.
She's not answering.
This is security!
I'm opening up this door.
What the hell?
Did she say the creature
had gotten out?
It didn't sound like
she was with Bill.
She got a call from him
on the radio
while we were talking!
She left Bill by himself
in the loading bay.
The creature's still
tranquilized, right?
Yeah.
In theory.
We're coming back!
Look, if there's
a problem, we'll handle it.
We'll be there in a minute.
I wasn't asking.
Mac, we don't even know
what happened.
Let's find out.
Bill?
Oh, my God, Bill.
The tranq I gave it
it must have an incredibly
fast metabolism.
Ange does the interviewing.
But when it comes time
to let someone know
they got the job,
she always lets me
make the call.
So they'll be loyal to me.
Bill was here for four years.
Sam, three.
Mac, you don't
want to see this.
Wake up.
I'm sorry, Mac.
No tranquilizers?
When an animal kills,
it's my job to put it down.
The old rules don't apply.
That would've meant
a lot to me two hours ago.
Mac, just
just slow down.
There's a hundred thousand square feet
of factory floor out there.
We need a plan.
This is on your head.
I have a plan.
To kill it.
Mac
Don't do this, Mac.
Mac!
Evan, I found something.
Where?
Look, right there.
On the edge.
It's coming out of the vent
that leads to the roof.
How did it get there
from the loading bay?
It didn't.
The markings are different.
***.
A second one must have
come through the anomaly
when it reopened.
It's a good foot taller
than the first.
I'm guessing this one's a male.
How the hell could this happen?
How did that thing find us?
Scent.
It must have followed
the scent of the female.
It's not unusual
for animals to smell pheromones
from miles away.
Or it followed
the smell on Mac.
Oh, God.
What?
Mac, you've got to stop
what you're doing
and go take a shower.
Are you mad?
There's a second creature
and it's here.
It must have followed the smell
of urine on your clothes.
It followed us?
Mac, there's a target
painted on your back.
Perfect.
It'll come right to me.
Yeah!
You don't want that.
Oh, I assure you, I do.
It will kill you
before you even see it, Mac.
You won't have a chance, okay?
You just
You need to take a shower.
Now.
Change your clothes, okay?
Right now.
Mac?
We gotta go find him.
Evan, we're past that.
I thought you were trying
to keep them alive, too.
I am.
I was trained
to make it first priority
to get them back
to their own habitats.
But I also know
that once they kill,
they have to be destroyed.
No! Evan's right.
If killing these things
could change our past,
then they need to be protected,
no matter what.
Even if they kill
the people we love.
Believe me,
there's no one that wants
to kill these things
more than I do.
But we can't.
That's a theory, Evan.
You can't know
what would happen.
Unless there's something
you're not telling me.
Keep scanning the video.
Let me know if you see Mac.
What about the Lycaenops?
Mac first.
I'm not finding another body.
These creatures are predators,
adapted for stealth.
Keep your eyes open.
I plan on it.
I'm guessing
the female is the hunter.
The male will look for her,
but if anything
gets in its way
It's my fault.
What?
Bringing the female here.
It was my decision.
Let's just find Mac.
Oh, you just try me.
Evan, I found Mac.
He just passed the clean room,
he's heading toward the lehr.
He's chasing
one of those things,
but I can't tell which one.
Okay, yeah.
If I pick him up again,
I'll call you right back.
Come on, Mac.
Show your skinny British ***.
She said he's heading toward
the lehr?
Yeah, it's a kiln,
for the photonics.
You see anything?
About a million places to hide.
You're looking
in the wrong direction.
Mac.
It hides up there.
Kate said
it was trying to get
at her from above.
Makes sense if it's
a jungle creature.
Best view would be
in the trees looking down.
There.
Is it the male or the female?
Who cares?
The male will lead us
to the female.
No
If I get a shot, I'm taking it.
Not if I'm around
Go ahead, Toby.
Evan?
Can you hear me?
What is it?
Toby?
It's here.
Let's move!
Toby!
Get down!
Clear!
You all right?
Uh-huh.
Mac
What are you going to say
to make it better?
Huh?
Toby
Arrange for the offices
to be closed
the rest of the week.
Dylan, secure the firearms
and put these animals
in the freezer.
I'll call Lieutenant Leeds,
and work out a cover
story for the police.
Then I'll notify the families.
Evan
I'm fine.
I'm a world away from you
but here you are
standing beside me
what's in your heart
I wish I knew
maybe then I'd see
an open space for me
to turn around
and take for me
any chance to see the truth
the doorway is nearly shut
unlock the chains
and let me through
the pain you feel
I feel it, too
say the words
and I will take it
away from you
and I will be
I will be your hiding place
somewhere to rest
and hide your face
I will be your hiding place
somewhere you can go
