00:03:30It's a very interesting presentation, Dr. Dubois, but we do part company when you fantasize that a swarm of army ants is some kind of Mardi Gras marching society.
00:03:41It's not. It's just a big ball of instinct.
00:03:45Dr. Horace Lennon, CEO of Thorax Industries, former colleague...
00:03:50Now world leader in the wholesale slaughter of insects.
00:03:52You're telling these people, you're telling these people bedtime stories. Do you know what happens when we strip away our technology and meet on equal ground? They eat us.
00:04:02And if you don't believe me, please, come to Bantau and see for yourself.
00:04:09Spray gun in hand.
00:04:10Don't leave camp without it.
00:04:11Thank you very much.
00:04:12Thank you very much.
00:04:16Well, thank you, Dr. Leonard.
00:04:18And we're out.
00:04:20See you.
00:04:20So, did you have your son?
00:04:28Dr. Claire Dubois.
00:04:29When did you arrive?
00:04:31Flew in yesterday. Deploying tomorrow.
00:04:33How's it look?
00:04:34Mostly rainforest, rubber plantations, plus a few casualties.
00:04:40You know, I could always use the world's leading hymenopterist in my truck.
00:04:45Somehow, I don't think I'd fit in with your crew.
00:04:47Come on, my crew's like a family. They love you. Almost as much as I love you already.
00:04:59Maybe we can have dinner sometime.
00:05:02Sure.
00:05:11I'll speak to you soon.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:17Okay, people, let's liquefy some endoskeletons.
00:05:32Let's go, people.
00:05:39Cry hard!
00:05:40Now, let's lift the dogs of war.
00:05:42Let's go, man.
00:05:51Let's go, man.
00:05:54Let's go, man.
00:05:56Let's go, man.
00:06:02Let's get on to things.
00:06:02Go, go, go, go!
00:06:32Go, go, go, go, go!
00:06:34Let's go!
00:06:36Let's go!
00:06:38Let's go!
00:06:40Now!
00:07:02Let's go!
00:07:04Let's go!
00:07:06Whoa!
00:07:08Let's go!
00:07:10Let's go!
00:07:12Let's go!
00:07:14Let's go!
00:07:16Let's go!
00:07:18Let's go!
00:07:20Let's go!
00:07:22Let's go!
00:07:24Let's go!
00:07:26Let's go!
00:07:28Let's go!
00:07:30Let's go!
00:07:32Let's go!
00:07:34Let's go!
00:07:36Let's go!
00:07:38Let's go!
00:07:40Let's go!
00:07:42Let's go!
00:07:44Go!
00:07:46Let's go!
00:07:48Let's go!
00:07:50Let's go!
00:07:52Come on!
00:07:54Let's go!
00:07:56I don't know.
00:08:26Okay, guys.
00:08:42We have to solve this problem.
00:08:45All of our industry are on hold.
00:08:48We cannot allow tourists on the island.
00:08:51This time, there are even more of them than our first estimate.
00:08:54Larger than 2001.
00:08:56Larger than 2001.
00:08:59That's swarming 2001.
00:09:01Destroy this island economically for two years.
00:09:05The locals are saying this time ants are different.
00:09:08Different?
00:09:09How?
00:09:10More aggressive?
00:09:11Yeah, more aggressive.
00:09:12Ants killing humans in large numbers is almost unheard of.
00:09:16The number of casualties here probably exceeds the total from all previously recorded incidents.
00:09:21Yeah, more aggressive.
00:09:27But also picking their battles.
00:09:31Okay.
00:09:32Let me show you.
00:09:33Today when they retreated, cross the fire dish.
00:09:36Usually the ants just keep coming until you're related.
00:09:37But today they stopped short, almost like they knew the fire was coming.
00:09:45Do you see what I mean?
00:09:46You set out a pretty good line of defense.
00:09:57This plantation here, it's been stripped.
00:09:59Everything is gone.
00:10:00Okay, well, we're going to have to force them back onto this barren ground.
00:10:08So Cortez, you and the army are going to head straight right up the middle.
00:10:12Bill and I will do a right flank and we'll force them into a pincer.
00:10:16You hired the right guy, sir.
00:10:19We're going to get this done now.
00:10:46Lord, I hate these suits.
00:10:55Dad, it's a communication check.
00:10:56This is Bill.
00:10:57You read me?
00:10:57Good helmet image.
00:10:58Switch to POV.
00:11:02POV image is good across the board.
00:11:04Hey, Cortez, your GPS is down.
00:11:07Uh, I think it would help if I turned it on.
00:11:10Sorry.
00:11:10I'm seeing telemetric shows.
00:11:12Lots and loads.
00:11:13Let's roll, people.
00:11:17So while you and Cortez are moving up north, we're going to soften up that central mass with aerials.
00:11:23Every ant poison kills every ant it touches and so on.
00:11:26Domino effect.
00:11:27All set?
00:11:29Any questions?
00:11:31Let's go.
00:11:46All set?
00:11:59All set?
00:12:00Just not to go.
00:12:02All set?
00:12:05All set?
00:12:06I don't know.
00:12:36Team Cortez, first contact, kill ratio as predicted. Proceeding to North.
00:13:01Team Cortez control, spray him down.
00:13:06How's it looking out there, Deb?
00:13:08Imagery is good, record is all right.
00:13:12Go again, you're breaking up.
00:13:14Cortez still got his hands full.
00:13:16Damn it, I ought to be there with him.
00:13:18Stick to the plan, Bill.
00:13:20We can think ahead. That's one of our advantages.
00:13:30Debs?
00:13:31Hey Lenny, how's your con with base camp? Mine's crap.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:37Gavin, we near a power aerial or something.
00:13:41There's a new sail tower a half mile from you, but it's not operational yet.
00:13:47Len, did you copy that? It's not operational yet.
00:13:52Copy.
00:13:53What is that?
00:13:57Len, there's something weird near you.
00:14:00I'm losing telemetry, Len.
00:14:06Len, did you copy any of that?
00:14:08Len?
00:14:10Len?
00:14:12Deb?
00:14:13Deb?
00:14:14Len?
00:14:15Len?
00:14:16Len?
00:14:17Len?
00:14:18Len?
00:14:19Len?
00:14:20What is that?
00:14:21I don't know.
00:14:22I don't know.
00:14:23This all seems a little too... quiet.
00:14:29Yeah, well.
00:14:32Weirded me out a little bit, too.
00:14:36Deb?
00:14:37Len!
00:14:38A report.
00:14:39What's with this comm link?
00:14:41Len!
00:14:43What is that?
00:14:44It's made entirely of ants.
00:14:45Can we contain or destroy?
00:14:46Don't move.
00:14:47Deb, you getting this?
00:14:48Deb!
00:14:49Damn comm is down.
00:14:50Hey, look.
00:14:51Let's see where it goes.

00:15:00Let's see where it goes.
00:15:02Hell, I'm game.
00:15:05Wow, is that weird.
00:15:06Wow, is that weird?

00:15:32being transported i'll call me crazy but it looks like com cable to me
00:15:39bill wow look at them all they look like they're nesting

00:17:13Buddy, they never got in.
00:17:26Cortez, get over here!
00:17:29There's something wrong with Bill.
00:17:30What's up?
00:17:35Not then.
00:17:38I'm fine.
00:17:41Just help me get him out of his suit.
00:17:48There you are.
00:18:06What's going on?
00:18:08We've got classic retreat patterns across the infest zone.
00:18:12Okay. You guys can stand down. Good job.
00:18:16Hey, is he gonna be okay?
00:18:19I don't know.
00:18:20I don't know.
00:18:22Did you guys, uh...
00:18:24You guys get video from when that branch came down?
00:18:27We know you guys could have way before that.
00:18:29So you didn't see it?
00:18:31See what?
00:18:33Nothing.
00:18:35Just do a standard documentation sweep and I'll check in with you.
00:18:38Okay.
00:18:39I'll see.
00:18:44I'm sorry.
00:18:46I'm sorry.
00:18:48I'm sorry.
00:18:50I'm sorry.
00:19:21What's that?
00:19:27Nothing.
00:19:29You need to come see this.
00:19:35What?
00:19:36Cropfield's destroyed by an ant swarm.
00:19:38Seen that before?
00:19:39Yeah.
00:19:40But now I put a filter on it.
00:19:44Is this for real?
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:49This one?
00:19:51This one?
00:19:53This?
00:19:54This is just a mudflat on the river.
00:19:57Okay, you need to make hard copies of it.
00:20:00Quietly.
00:20:02What do you think it means?
00:20:04I don't know, but we need to find out.
00:20:06Attention, please.
00:20:22I rise to offer our thanks to Dr. Horace Leonard and the Thorax Industries team for helping us defeat the insect plague.
00:20:41This ongoing partnership between our brave armed forces and the expertise of American science has made our vast archipelago safer and a more productive part of the nation.
00:20:57Some day, we may rid ourselves of this menace altogether.
00:21:04Or even some day, Dr. Leonard may even share his secret formula with us.
00:21:10I raise my glass to Dr. Leonard and his team.
00:21:18Cheers, cheers, cheers.
00:21:21Cheers.
00:21:22Cheers.
00:21:23Cheers.
00:21:24Cheers.

00:21:46Cheers.
00:21:47Cheers.
00:21:48Cheers.
00:21:49What the hell is wrong with this giant?
00:22:00Yeah, you know, buddy, this is supposed to be the best part in town.
00:22:05There's ants all over the place.
00:22:06They're all over the counter.
00:22:07They keep falling my crink.
00:22:12I don't see any ants, Bill.
00:22:14Well, I see them, Len.
00:22:17I feel them all over me, too.
00:22:19Listen to me.
00:22:25You're just having a delayed sensory reaction to what happened.
00:22:28It's totally normal.
00:22:30It's not normal, Len.
00:22:32It's not normal what happened to us today.
00:22:35The way they pulled that tree down on top of us, they planned that.
00:22:42How are you guys doing?
00:22:44You know you guys didn't do such a great job out there today.
00:22:47No, sir.
00:22:48Look.
00:22:49There's still one left.
00:22:52You missed one.
00:22:54Man, I hate to see that.
00:22:57Man, I hate to see that.
00:23:21What?
00:23:23Billy.
00:23:23Messed up in his head.
00:23:24Not good.
00:23:26Len will put him together.
00:23:27Sure, if anybody can.
00:23:30But I just worry, you know?
00:23:32Worry about what?
00:23:33Billy.
00:23:34Oh, rather.
00:23:35William Routledge.
00:23:36PhD, B.S.E., etc., etc.
00:23:38He was Len's professor at college.
00:23:40Really strung out on booze when Len first met him.
00:23:45Got him cleaned up.
00:23:47Gave him his job.
00:23:48Gave him his life back.
00:23:49Cleared his gambling debts.
00:23:51But that was what?
00:23:52Five years ago?
00:23:53Right, so if he's in trouble again, then we'll sort it out.
00:23:57Sure.
00:23:58They'd do anything for each other.
00:24:10Excuse me.
00:24:11Stop the music, please.
00:24:16Stop the music.
00:24:17Stop, please.
00:24:19Attention, everyone.
00:24:20Attention, please.
00:24:21All leave are canceled.
00:24:24All military personnel report to their unit immediately.
00:24:27KRAX team, assemble with me, please.
00:24:31What is it?
00:24:32A new swarm on Bantop.
00:24:34That's impossible.
00:24:35They never swim twice in a season.
00:24:37Yes, they are this year.
00:24:38And they have pushed out as far as the river.
00:24:41This can't be right.
00:24:46Estimated size has three times the size of the first swarm.
00:24:50You've got to be wrong.
00:24:51There ain't that many ants on that island.
00:24:53Can I use your phone?
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:57Excuse me.
00:24:58All right, listen to this.
00:25:00We're going to have to redeploy everything that we pulled out of there, all right?
00:25:03Claire, it's Len.
00:25:05The text I sent you to explain everything.
00:25:08Just get yourself to Bantau Airport and I'll pick you up.
00:25:10I'll tell you more than it.
00:25:12I'll tell you more than it.
00:25:20I'm lying to the land.
00:25:25I'm lying to the land.
00:25:26I'm lying to the land.
00:25:27I'm lying to the land.
00:25:47I don't know.
00:26:17Hey, Claire.
00:26:36Well, doctor, how times have changed?
00:26:39Well, we're not backpacking through Europe anymore.
00:26:42No, we're not.
00:26:44Unfortunately.
00:26:45That's sweet.
00:26:47We're sweet.
00:26:56So, I saw the Forbes article.
00:26:58Twenty multi-million as you're at the age of 35.
00:27:01Congratulations.
00:27:03It's not as grand as it sounds.
00:27:05Profits go back into the business, and I'm living in the trailer.
00:27:09Socially, I haven't evolved much beyond the backpacker stage, I'm afraid.
00:27:14Backpacker with millions.
00:27:15It's a truly frightening prospect.
00:27:19So, what about you, professor?
00:27:21Associate professor.
00:27:23Associate?
00:27:24All your scholarly articles and your book, which was tremendous, by the way.
00:27:29I don't think I ever told you that.
00:27:30You read it?
00:27:31Cover to cover.
00:27:33I can't believe you're still chasing tenure.
00:27:34Well, you know, you read the book, speculating about mass intelligence and insects warrants.
00:27:39It's not exactly mainstream stuff.
00:27:41Well, now we've got something in common.
00:28:02Oh, yeah?
00:28:04What's that?
00:28:05Well, both of us are academic pariahs now.
00:28:09Me, because I kill insects, and you, because you think they're intelligent.
00:28:13Well, that's a gross overstatement of my thesis.
00:28:20What?
00:28:21Suppose some guy came up to you off the street and showed you evidence that your thesis was correct.
00:28:30Are you talking about that text and photo you forwarded me?
00:28:33What could such a guy expect?
00:28:36A kiss?
00:28:37A huge, sloppy kiss?
00:28:40What are you talking about?
00:28:45These were taken after the Bantau swarm.
00:28:47But these are molecular structures.
00:28:55These were fabricated by ants.
00:28:59It appears so, yes.
00:29:02But that would require intelligence.
00:29:05Isn't that what you've been saying all along?
00:29:07Well, I never said they knew chemistry, physics, and geometry.
00:29:11I saw other things, too.
00:29:12Like what?
00:29:14Take a look at this.
00:29:17It's a tentacle.
00:29:20I don't know what else to call it, really.
00:29:22Made entirely out of ants.
00:29:25Rose up out of the main swarm, like a cobra.
00:29:29And on the top of the thing, a couple dozen ekatom with their eyes pushed forward and their antenna pressed back.
00:29:35And I swear to you, they were watching me.
00:29:38Studying me.
00:29:39They even deliberately knocked a tree down on top of my partner and I.
00:29:45They could have killed us at any moment.
00:29:47But once this thing had looked us over, they let us go.
00:30:01That's quite a story.
00:30:05So what do you think?
00:30:06That a supercolony of insects has become self-aware.
00:30:16Do you know what this is?
00:30:17Where did you get this?
00:30:29Is it right?
00:30:30Where did you get it?
00:30:31A grad student of mine first noticed something in local populations.
00:30:37So we tested ant specimens from around the world.
00:30:41Africa, the Amazon, places where they swarm, you know.
00:30:45Something like 70% of all the ant samples have metabolites of that in their systems.
00:30:50So I reverse engineered it.
00:30:53How many years have you been spraying that stuff around the world?
00:30:56About eight.
00:30:56Well, it's now part of the global ecosystem.
00:31:01Claire, I don't sit around my lab like some kind of mad scientist dreaming up ways of destroying insects for laughs.
00:31:08Okay, my team and I go where we're asked.
00:31:11We save lives.
00:31:13People are grateful for what we do.
00:31:26Okay, my team and I go where we're asking.
00:31:50Okay, my team.
00:32:22Oh, my God.
00:32:52All right, that ought to hold him for now.
00:33:08Stanchez, you and Jacobson, you watch him, okay?
00:33:10Monitor this.
00:33:12Cortez, you're in charge, okay?
00:33:13I got you, Billy.
00:33:14Where the hell have you been?
00:33:16We are barely in control of this.
00:33:18What, you two been having a big time?
00:33:19Is that it?
00:33:21Probably, Phil.
00:33:23We got bigger problems now.
00:33:27I've never seen ant behavior like this before.
00:33:29There ain't that many ants in the world.
00:33:43Let's figure out what we're gonna do.
00:33:45Come on.
00:33:45Glad you're here.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:34:00Please wait.
00:34:03We have never seen anything like this.
00:34:06We estimate the swamp population at 200 million.
00:34:10200 million?
00:34:11That's impossible.
00:34:11I bet there's more than that.
00:34:13Oh, that's possible.
00:34:14We have already lost 20 men.
00:34:16And if the ants cross the river, what is going to stop them?
00:34:19Besides, what the hell do you know about it, Professor Dubois?
00:34:22They don't have this kind of crap at Stanford, do they?
00:34:24Bill, what the hell is the matter with you?
00:34:27Did you just shut up and listen?
00:34:28I don't know.
00:34:58The locals took this sample from the living age.
00:35:08But there are a half dozen different species in there.
00:35:11When we first got this jar, they were swarmed together, cooperating.
00:35:16For a species, no, that can't be.
00:35:17A swarm is one species.
00:35:19One nest of a single species.
00:35:21They don't tolerate outsiders.
00:35:24They detect the difference in the pheromone and they kill them.
00:35:26Oh, just like these guys are doing.
00:35:29Exactly.
00:35:31But once they were inside this container, severed from the swamp for a while,
00:35:35they went back to their normal mutual hostility.
00:35:38Well, there was a swarm.
00:35:43It's one pheromone.
00:35:44One pheromone and they worked together.
00:35:47Single common purpose.
00:35:48What's this over here?
00:35:52Let me show you.
00:35:57Okay, guys, listen up.
00:35:59This is Bunang, the village on the island.
00:36:02Everywhere we can shows about 50 people still there.
00:36:06Ants haven't been able to get across yet.
00:36:09Okay, we gotta rescue these people right away.
00:36:12Can we get boats here?
00:36:14No problem.
00:36:15Okay, well, for the moment, we gotta just focus on keeping the ants on the far end of the embankment.
00:36:20Set up defensive positions at the narrows, here and here.
00:36:24Officer Chang, may I take that jar away with me, please?
00:36:26Officer, I'd like to examine it more closely.
00:36:28Let's go.
00:36:35How's that fit?
00:36:37I'll get used to it.
00:36:39Well, it was a maid for a guy about this much taller than you, so...
00:36:42Yeah, I guess.
00:36:44Where the hell...
00:36:46Oh, there it is.
00:36:51Vin, are you good to go?
00:36:52Tank levels are okay.
00:36:54We do this for the team, yeah?
00:36:56Yeah, of course we do.
00:36:57Right.
00:36:58Right.
00:37:02What do you mean, am I good to go?
00:37:03Of course I'm good to go.
00:37:04Why are you asking me that?
00:37:04Test fire the weapon, please.
00:37:06Len, I told you, I won't be using your death spray.
00:37:09Man, you just don't seem fit.
00:37:11I don't seem fit, huh?
00:37:14Hey, man, I've been doing...
00:37:15I taught you how to do this.
00:37:19I'll tell you what.
00:37:22You can leave it dangling around your neck if you like.
00:37:24I can guarantee you it won't stay there for long.
00:37:28You just watch your own butt, big boy.
00:37:30My eyes are up.
00:37:52Recorders are running.
00:37:53No, no...
00:37:54No...
00:37:55No, no....
00:37:55I enjoyed it pequeña by...
00:37:57No...

00:43:02You do what you want, Debs. I'm heading out.
00:43:05What's wrong with you?
00:43:07Bill, stay there!
00:43:09Her name is Ying.
00:43:10She's an orphan.
00:43:12She's an orphan.
00:43:12She used to live with her brother, but he went honey in the bush two days ago and he never came back.
00:43:18God, Lynn, I'm scared.
00:43:20Cortez!
00:43:21Cortez, come in, Cortez!
00:43:26Cortez!
00:43:29Cortez!
00:43:30You look at the thing you look at the thing you've loved and studied your whole life, and in one instant, one moment of clarity, you see the dangerous side.
00:43:47The killer side, when you reach for the pistol instead of the chair, when you reach for the pistol instead of the chair, it happened to me about ten years ago.
00:44:05Cortez, if you can hear me on this crappy comm, I'm about 20 yards northeast of the factory.
00:44:14Come and find me.
00:44:16Bill!
00:44:17Glad to see you, man.
00:44:24Right, right.

00:49:53This is what I was talking about, Bill and I saw.
00:50:23What are they doing?
00:50:26It's an imitation.

00:52:28Come on.
00:52:29Hey.
00:52:30Maybe this is as far as we should go.
00:52:46I don't think we have much choice.
00:52:51over here.
00:53:51I think we're here.
00:54:09What are they doing?
00:54:21These are the same images we've been seeing.
00:54:25Is it a language?
00:54:27It's them.
00:54:29Not us.
00:54:31The front line.
00:54:35DNA, that's what they've been trying to formulate.
00:54:39They kill us.
00:54:43We kill each other.
00:54:47What?
00:54:49Is that you?
00:54:51It's Bantel.
00:54:52Yes, it's Bantel.
00:55:01Amazing.
00:55:07She's right.
00:55:08They want this island.
00:55:11They want this island.
00:55:13They want this island.
00:55:15They want this island.
00:55:17What?
00:55:18Sure.
00:55:19Can't leave her!
00:55:21Get back!
00:55:23get back get back
00:55:35she's the hostage she's gonna be okay we've got to deliver the message
00:55:44we'll be back in coming back
00:55:53what are we gonna do i have no idea what it is we just saw
00:56:06we got to get her back how did they learn to do that
00:56:09ants just became self-aware what in one evolution we leap evolution doesn't work like that well
00:56:17sporadic spurts of adaptation please come on there's something new here
00:56:22cruelty deception evolution doesn't just spawn that stuff
00:56:28well how about the introduction of a foreign substance into our nervous systems
00:56:32if that's it we know who's to blame don't we
00:56:34is
00:57:17Here.
00:57:26Oh, thanks.
00:57:32Will they come after us?
00:57:34I don't think so.
00:57:42You know, I looked at ants going two ways around a rock
00:57:45and rhapsodized about how intelligent they were.
00:57:47I never dreamed I'd never see Ant TV.
00:57:50Nothing I've ever seen. Believe me.
00:57:57Do you think what Ying said is true?
00:57:59That the ants think that this island is their sanctuary?
00:58:03It's more like we're taking it over.
00:58:06That's how Zing is here.
00:58:08Well, you know that we can't tell him.
00:58:10I'm still under contract, Clara.
00:58:12Screw your contract.
00:58:13You tell him about this.
00:58:14He's going to go in there and blow that place to Kingdom Come.
00:58:17I have no choice.
00:58:19We have to tell them.
00:58:22Glenn, I...
00:58:23They'll listen to us.
00:58:26Us?
00:58:27Yeah.
00:58:29Us.
00:58:29I mean, we're going to have to do this together.
00:58:34And we may need Chang to get Ying back.
00:58:38You all right?
00:58:40Oh.
00:58:41Suits?
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:45Yeah.
00:58:46Sorry about that.
00:58:46That was okay.
00:58:47Oh.
00:58:53That's better.
00:58:56Thanks.
00:59:07Hey, did this remind you of anything?
00:59:14It's a far cry from Venice.
00:59:17Yeah.
00:59:28It's good to see you, Dr. Dubois.
00:59:30It's good to see you, Dr. Leonard.
00:59:32It's good to see you, Dr. Leonard.
00:59:47Oh,
00:59:59it goes from theizzies.
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:01Yeah.
01:00:02And,
01:00:03oh,
01:00:04oh,
01:00:05oh.
01:00:05Oh,
01:00:05oh,
01:00:06oh,
01:00:06oh,
01:00:07oh, oh.
01:00:07Oh,
01:00:07oh, oh.
01:00:08Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
01:00:08Oh,mo.
01:00:09Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:00:10Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:00:12I love you.
01:00:42It's Cortez.
01:01:12It's Cortez.
01:01:42Hey.
01:01:44Good to see you.
01:01:46Lynn, we wish you were dead.
01:01:50We should be dead.
01:01:51So, what happened?
01:01:52We are face-to-face with another intelligent species.
01:02:01Only they're not human.
01:02:03They're insectoid.
01:02:05They don't make tools to manipulate their environment.
01:02:07They use specific subspecies to meet specific needs.
01:02:11Millions of individuals have created a matrix, like a computer for data processing.
01:02:16They've demonstrated an ability to not just comprehend ideas or concepts or intelligence.
01:02:22They can actually project these things, visualize them in three dimensions.
01:02:26Young girl hostage?
01:02:29Lynn, you actually buy this?
01:02:32We saw what we saw.
01:02:40So, what do you think it means, then?
01:02:42They actually laid claim to one of our islands.
01:02:44And I'm here to say that will never happen.
01:02:51Thousands of people dead.
01:02:53Non-dead.
01:02:54Towns destroyed.
01:02:56Plantations shut down.
01:02:58Livestock dead.
01:03:00Land wasted.
01:03:01Tourists gone.
01:03:02And we didn't stop them.
01:03:07We didn't stop them?
01:03:08No, they just retreated.
01:03:10And why do you think they did that?
01:03:11Huh.
01:03:12Because you have tucked them into it.
01:03:14No, because we stopped killing them.
01:03:17No.
01:03:17We are not going to negotiate with ants.
01:03:28Dr. Leonard, what do you advise?
01:03:31I'll tell you what I'd advise.
01:03:35I say we go in and nuke them.
01:03:37Bill, please.
01:03:39Please.
01:03:50Look, we have to get Ying back.
01:03:52Just let Dr. Dubois and I try and negotiate.
01:03:56Oh, good, good.
01:03:57Dr. Leonard, right now, nuke them sound pretty good, huh?
01:04:05Huh?
01:04:05Sound pretty good, huh?
01:04:06Yeah?
01:04:07Ha!
01:04:08Ha ha ha!
01:04:09Good, good.
01:04:12Hmm.
01:04:14So, Dr. Leonard, how are you going to make them believe our desire to stop the fighting?
01:04:19Or we can just give them part of the island.
01:04:23Like, somewhere west of the river.
01:04:26It's less than half the island.
01:04:27That's the offer.
01:04:29Or I will indeed nuke them.
01:04:34Right?
01:04:35Nuke them.
01:04:38You have until tomorrow morning.
01:04:41Thank you, Minister.
01:04:45Let's go.
01:04:53Let's go.
01:04:53Let's go.
01:05:23Let's go.
01:05:53It was the way they killed him.
01:05:56I mean, always before it was mindless killing, but this is anything but.
01:06:01They laid a trap for us. We walked right into it.
01:06:03You did your best, though.
01:06:05It's like every time we hit them with something, they just get smarter.
01:06:08It's like they're... it's like they're learning.
01:06:10They're learning.
01:06:25If they're learning, they can be taught.
01:06:26It's like they're learning.
01:06:29Yeah.
01:06:30Yeah, we can teach these clever little bastards a lesson.
01:06:33That's why we can teach them not to screw around with us.
01:06:35Bill, listen.
01:06:37I get you're upset about Cortez.
01:06:39We all are.
01:06:40Claire and I are working out a plan.
01:06:46They've still got young.
01:06:48Trying to get her back.
01:06:50Count me in.
01:06:57Is he okay?
01:07:03Claire, can I show you something?
01:07:04Yeah, sure.
01:07:07I'm trying to figure out what makes these ants cooperate so well together.
01:07:11The different species are working together.
01:07:14I just can't make it out anymore.
01:07:16Will you help?
01:07:17Sure.
01:07:18Show me what you got.
01:07:19So I put this one.
01:07:23Okay.
01:07:23So this one.
01:07:25And what's in here?
01:07:26I know it's over there.
01:07:30Okay.
01:07:30Let's take a look.
01:07:31Okay.
01:07:34So, I started with this.
01:07:37Uh-huh.
01:07:40And then it came out like this.
01:07:42I don't know.
01:07:43It might, I might be on something, but I'm not sure.
01:08:04It might, I'm not sure.
01:08:26You add that, and I'll be back.
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:44Okay.
01:08:53There you go, move.
01:08:54Bill, stay there.
01:08:56Never had a chance.
01:08:58Answer.
01:08:59Answer.
01:09:00I never had a chance.
01:09:03Answer.
01:09:04Answer.
01:09:05Never had a chance.
01:09:06You okay, Bill?
01:09:07Yeah.
01:09:08Yeah, I'm fine.
01:09:09Yeah.
01:09:10Yeah.
01:09:11I'm fine.
01:09:12Yeah.
01:09:13Yeah, I'm fine.
01:09:17Look, I, uh, I know we've never really seen eye to eye, but, um, I just wanted to say how sorry I am about what happened to Cortez.
01:09:45It was horrible.
01:09:48Ben, if there's anything I can do to help...
01:09:53No, I'm fine.
01:09:54I'm fine.
01:09:55I'm fine.
01:09:56I'm fine.
01:09:57I'm fine.
01:09:58I'm fine.
01:09:59I'm fine.
01:10:00Well.
01:10:01Well.
01:10:02Claire.
01:10:03When I was teaching at Cal Tet, was I any good?
01:10:07I mean, did, did, did, did you think I was any good?
01:10:24Well, Alex Zawinski would testify to that.
01:10:27And Paul Vodov from the UN.
01:10:31It's just, it just seems like nobody ever says if, like you're any good.
01:10:41Well, you got Len and me through.
01:10:43You take care of Len.
01:10:45You guys take care of each other.
01:10:52I, I just, I didn't.
01:11:04You sleep well, though.
01:11:15Yeah.
01:11:34Mel?
01:11:47What?
01:11:49What?
01:12:19Where is he?
01:12:43I'm sorry I didn't let you guys. I had to get all geared up.
01:12:45We're not taking them, Bill.
01:12:47We're not.
01:12:48No.
01:12:50We're leaving the seats from the barn this time, buddy.
01:12:53You're serious?
01:12:56You're going back in that cave without skins?
01:12:58You're out of your minds!
01:13:00They need us alive just like Cortez was.
01:13:02The gesture of goodwill.
01:13:04Goodwill? Towards ants?
01:13:05Yes.
01:13:09Lenny.
01:13:10Bill, it's just clear on me this time, but...
01:13:13Well, yeah, sure. I mean, if that's what you want, man.
01:13:17You're the boss.
01:13:17It's like, man, can I talk to you a second?
01:13:20Come here.
01:13:24Lenny, you gotta let me do this.
01:13:26You gotta let me do this.
01:13:29I gotta.
01:13:30Cortez, man.
01:13:31I...
01:13:31Besides you getting a jam, who do you want at your back, huh?
01:13:37Her or me?
01:13:39Please, man.
01:13:43All right.
01:13:43No havoc.
01:13:47No suits.
01:13:48No suits.
01:13:52Ow.
01:13:53You gotta let me do this.
01:13:55Nobody.
01:14:20Noísimo bolts.
01:14:20Let me guess.
01:14:32Computer.
01:14:34Yeah.
01:14:35You think so?
01:14:37Clever.
01:14:37Bastards.
01:14:40You all right, Bill?
01:14:42Yeah, fine.

01:15:47It's not hurting you.
01:15:48Don't start anything.
01:15:48Keep it away.
01:15:49Keep it away.
01:15:49It's not hurting you.

01:16:07Len.
01:16:10Four hands, one man.
01:16:16That's an offer.
01:16:17And now we're negotiating.
01:16:47We're talking to them, can you believe this?
01:17:15Are we done here yet?
01:17:25Not yet, Bill.
01:17:27We're still negotiating.
01:17:29Gotta get out now!
01:17:33Not now!
