Final sequence initializing.
If the experiment succeeds,
and we actually bring back dinosaurs,
just think of the possibilities.
We just need to account for the eggs metabolism
this time around.
Well, the recalibration adjusts from metabolic load, so...
Yeah, that's what you said during batch 22, Jerry,
and look where it got us.
Uh, it...
This is different.
Listen...
We can't afford any other setbacks.
If this experiment fails, everything we worked for,
everything my dad sacrificed for, would just...
Sterilized and prepped.
Okay.
Okay...
Growth inhibitor stability looks good.
Any shifts in compound distribution?
Not yet, but we're running at peak threshold.
Any variation could lead to a cascade.
Be ready to shut it down.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
You can almost feel the energy radiating off of them.
Integration curves are matching projections.
Yeah.
How's the structural integrity on the outer membranes?
Stable for now.
Containment fields?
Fully operational and holding steady.
Wait.
There's a slight spike in the thermal lobe.
Crosscheck the bonding matrix.
Crosschecking these levels, and...
There's condensation near the heat exchanger.
This... This is disrupting the thermal regulation.
The matrix is compensating.
Still holding steady.
Temperature is stable.
Compound integration is accelerating.
Here we go.
All right, stay on your readings.
Oop, serum levels are spiking.
What's the cause?
It's feeding back into itself.
The bonding matrix is overcompensating.
Be you ready to pull the plug.
Oh!
Oh...
Velociraptor mongoliensis...
We did it!
It's real.
I love this island.
No one get too close.
It's growing too fast. Something's off.
The growth rates are a little... exponential.
That's impossible.
The compound shouldn't be able to do that outside of...
Um... Is that supposed to happen?
Jerry, shut it down.
Yeah.
System override.
Emergency protocols engaged.
Uh, three now.
Okay. Containment protocols, everyone.
The system's kicking in.
Lethal containment gas deployed.
Did it work?
It should.
Security, this is lab one. We've had a containment breach.
Immediate back up requested.
There's been a breach in Section 1.
-Let's move. -Yes, ma'am.
Wait.
They're still moving.
They're growing too fast. The gas didn't take!
The system's overloading! It's not responding.
The containment locks are offline.
Um, where's security?
Aren't they supposed to be outside the door?
They're securing the perimeter.
If containment fails,
they'll stop the breach from spreading.
Oh, great. So what are we, bait?
They're buying us time.
We need to get to the bunker and regroup.
Get back!
-Ah! -No!
Emma!
Emma!
Jerry, Pete, you need to move.
Pete!
Move!
If they break containment, the entire island as a risk.
Yeah, it's too late for that.
Ah!
Head to the bunker, regroup with security!
Regina, status report.
All right, we've got two options.
We stay here, try to contain the situation.
Other option, we make a 30-minute trek to the port.
Wait for extraction.
Containment of the lab is going to require
every resource we've got. But even then, it's a long shot.
Well, staying here is not viable.
The risk is too high.
Raptors are growing faster than we projected.
Well, how fast are we talking about?
It's hard to say, exactly.
But their growth rate seems to be exponential.
That hatchlings were the size of dogs within minutes.
Yes, if this rate holds, they'll be 10 feet in a few hours.
And if it can't contain them, how big do they get?
If the compound driving their growth has no limit,
then their size might be unlimited, too.
If I'm right, they may never stop growing.
No, that's not how it works.
They can grow as much as their body can handle.
Velociraptors were typically 12 feet long.
So, 12 feet?
Yes, if the compound behaves as expected, yes.
Yes, but at their full size, they'll be deadly... er.
They also have incredibly keen senses of hearing.
So we'll have to be extra quiet when moving, then.
Coast Guard, come in.
Coast Guard, do you copy?
We need to get the signal out from the comms room.
What exactly caused the failure?
The power grid overloaded during the integration process.
The surge interrupted our fail safes.
And we miscalculated the growth's energy draw.
This shouldn't have happened.
Protocols should have worked. We have back up after back up.
Guys, we need to get out of here.
We've got to get to the roof, wait for a helicopter.
Yes. Let's do that.
No, we can't.
The roof's helipad was converted into
a solar array a couple of years ago.
Okay, well, in our defense, the port's a safer option
for the helipad.
It boasts a wider berth and it's safer for weather.
Velociraptors are sharp.
They could probably find their way up to the roof.
But what we don't know is if they can swim.
Getting in the water might be our safest bet.
We don't know that they cannot not swim.
The data isn't clear.
Okay, but we know that they're already on the roof.
The water is our safest option.
Hey, guys, they're contained in this building, right?
We just need to get out of here and get to the docks.
I think we're about 500 feet to the nearest exit.
That's it. 500 feet.
How many are out there?
What do you mean?
How many eggs do we have? Or how many hatched?
Yeah, both.
15 eggs. Three have hatched so far.
It only takes one to kill all of us.
Look, we have an armory. We'll be fine.
If they attack...
Oh, if they attack, you'll be dead.
If they attack, I'll just shoot it.
You can't.
Okay, bullets don't kill them. Why not?
Okay, well, actually, in our research, we found
that raptors have a thick layer underneath their skin.
Much like deep sea fish.
That thick layer absorbs the energy
of anything that impacts it.
Like bullets.
Yeah, and it makes them...
Impenetrable.
Doesn't mean we can't get them to back off.
So what are we even debating here?
Velociraptors coming to attack us?
We have to go. Now.
Okay, listen, the port's a straight shot,
but we'll be exposed the entire way.
We don't have enough bullets,
but we can reload at the comm station.
Then it's settled.
First we head to the comms room, then we head to the port.
Emergency evac protocols.
We need to protect ourselves, stick together, gear up,
and don't hesitate if something moves.
Copy that.
Let's go.
Grab everything and anything you can use.
This won't be enough if we get caught out there.
It's better than nothing.
There's more gear in the security building.
It's halfway up the port.
Could you contact them?
Security, come in.
This is Carter.
We've got movement near the west perimeter.
What's your status?
