That's definitely Ice Age | Analog Horror

[music] How are the digs going today people? >> Pretty slow out here in the Czech Republic. The same old sediment layers keep slowing us down. There's nothing exciting in Mongolia either, just more of the usual plea to scene deposits. [music] The Argentina site is disappointing, too. We've been digging for just over 3 weeks now, and we've only found maybe half a dozen bone Fragments. >> At least [music] you found something. My team in Alaska hasn't uncovered anything significant in days. I'm starting to think this site is a [music] total bust. Same here in Kenya. The

locals keep telling us stories about ancient burial grounds, but we're not finding any evidence to support [music] their claims. >> I feel like we're all hitting dead ends lately. The funding committee is going To be breathing down our necks soon if this [music] keeps up. Tell me about it. My grant application got rejected last week. They said our recent discoveries weren't groundbreaking [music] enough. >> Oh jeez, that's brutal. But honestly, I can see their point. When was the last time any of us actually found something truly remarkable? >> It's been months. [music] But look, maybe

we're just going through a dry spell. Or maybe we need to start looking In different areas and expand our search parameters. [music] >> Actually, speaking of expanding searches, my team decided to explore a new section [music] today. It's about 2 km east of our main dig site. Find anything interesting there? Well, that's just the thing. We started excavating this morning and we immediately hit something rather unusual. For starters, the soil composition is completely different. Like, there was some kind of Major event here because there [music] are tons of scorched earth marks and ash deposits. >>

Volcanic activity, maybe. >> That's what we thought initially. But the geological surveys don't show any volcanic activity in this region. Not for thousands of years anyway. >> So, what do you think caused it? [music] >> I have no idea. But we kept digging and that's when things got really crazy. We found bones, guys. A lot of bones, but Not scattered like you'd expect from the natural deaths that we usually find. They were arranged. >> In what way? >> Let me just show you. >> Holy crap, [music] >> Max. How old are these remains? >> Based

on the sediment layers, we're looking at late pleaene. So, roughly 15,000 to 20,000 years old, I'd say. >> What? But animals didn't have that kind [music] of organizational intelligence Back then. >> I know it sounds crazy, but the evidence is right here in front of us. [music] And it gets even stranger. >> Stranger how? >> We identified the species. There's a saber-tooth cat, a woolly mammoth, a giant ground sloth, and a few smaller predators all arranged around that rock in the middle. >> Exactly. But here's the really bizarre part. There's another skeleton in the [music]

center and it looks like some kind of large rodent that's on top of that dark stone you see in the middle >> on top of it. Like it was placed there. >> That's what it [music] looks like. Yeah. The skeleton is completely intact and there are no signs of scavenging or natural decay [music] whatsoever. It's like whatever killed these animals happened instantaneously. >> Max, this is incredible. If what you're suggesting is true, then we're talking About prehistoric [music] ritualistic behavior, but that would require advanced cognitive function like planning, coordination, and symbolic [music] thinking. >> Yeah.

And those are all traits that we don't associate with Ice Age megapona. >> I know how it sounds and trust me, [music] I've been questioning my own sanity all day, but the physical evidence is undeniable. Let me show you another angle. [music] >> Jesus Christ, that really does look like some kind of alter. >> The way the rodent is positioned, [music] it's almost like it was being sacrificed by a bunch of animals. That's completely illogical. >> Literally, it almost seems [music] like these things had the ability to undertake complex rituals. I know it challenges everything

we think we know, but [music] I can't ignore what I'm Seeing. The positioning is too precise to be coincidental. And there's something else. >> More evidence. >> We found crude tools scattered around the site. They all look like they were designed for [music] very specific purposes. >> What kind of purposes? >> I'm not entirely sure yet, but based on the markings on the central skeleton, [music] I think they were used for cutting. Precise cutting? >> You mean like surgical tools >> or torture implements? I don't want to speculate too much, but the evidence suggests these

animals were capable of complex, sadistic behavior. And such behavior requires planning and intelligence far beyond what we thought possible for their [music] era. >> Max, if this is legitimate, we're looking at a complete paradigm shift. This could rewrite everything we know about prehistory. [music] >> Have you contacted the university yet? They need to see this immediately. >> Not yet. I want to document everything thoroughly first [music] and make sure we have comprehensive evidence before we go public. This is going to be controversial enough as it is. >> Smart [music] approach. The scientific community isn't going

to accept this easily. >> Can you take some photos of the tools? I'd like to analyze the craftsmanship. >> Absolutely. I'll document everything else over [music] the next few days, too. >> Look at those cutting edges. They're deliberately shaped, almost like they were designed for [music] specific anatomical targets. This is giving me chills. The implications of what you found. >> We're talking about predators that could Plan and coordinate complex activities and potentially even engage in ritualistic [music] torture. I know it sounds terrifying, but we have to follow the evidence wherever it leads, no matter [music]

how unsettling the conclusions might be. >> Have you found any other similar sites in the area? >> We're [music] expanding the search tomorrow. If this was part of a larger site, then we need to find out quickly. >> Something about this whole discovery feels [music] ominous almost. I agree. Maybe you should request additional security just in case. >> Security from what? These animals have been dead for 20,000 years, so I don't really think they're that [music] much of a threat. Lowell, still, Suki has a point. Discoveries of this magnitude tend to attract unwanted attention. [music]

Academic rivals, treasure hunters, conspiracy theorists, you name It. >> You're probably right. I'll contact the local authorities tomorrow and [music] request some additional site protection. >> Good idea. In the meantime, we should all keep digging at our sites. See if we can find any similar evidence elsewhere. Agreed. If this ritualistic behavior was widespread, there might be other sites waiting to be discovered. [music] >> I'll start looking for unusual bone arrangements in my sector. Same here. We Need to determine if this was an isolated incident or part of a larger phenomenon. >> That's exactly what I

was thinking. This could be [music] the breakthrough we've all been waiting for. The discovery that changes everything. >> Max, congratulations. Regardless of what this ultimately [music] means, you've made an incredible discovery. >> Absolutely. This is the kind of find that defines careers and potentially Rewrites textbooks. >> Thanks, everyone. I just hope we can figure out what it all means. The idea of intelligent ritualistic behavior in Ice Age Predators, it's both fascinating and terrifying. >> Dude, you're not going to believe what I just saw. One of my surveillance drones [music] picked up something absolutely incredible. >>

Please tell me it's not another false lead like last time. >> No, this is different. This is exactly what we've been looking for. [music] Remember that paleontology team we've been monitoring in central Europe? >> Yeah. What about them? >> They found it, man. They actually found evidence of what we've [music] been theorizing about for years. >> Are you serious right now? >> Yes. The most recent dig site shows fossils that indicate intelligent prehistoric predators actually existed. It's everything the academic establishment has been covering up. Holy crap. Are [music] you absolutely certain? >> I recorded everything.

My drone was positioned about 500 ft from their excavation site. I watched them uncover what looks like an ancient [music] sacrificial altar complete with arranged skeletal remains. This is it then, isn't it? This is proof that history [music] has been deliberately sanitized and that They've been hiding the truth about these creatures for decades. [music] >> Exactly. The academic conspiracy runs deeper than we ever imagined. They've systematically buried any evidence that doesn't fit into their neat little evolutionary narrative. [music] >> Show me the footage. I need to see this with my own eyes. >> Jesus freaking

Christ. [music] It really is true. If we can get our hands on those remains. >> That's exactly what I was thinking. Our cloning technology is finally advanced enough to the point where we could actually resurrect these creatures [music] >> and then expose the lies that paleontologists have been telling for generations. Imagine the look on their faces when we prove [music] that intelligent, malevolent predators existed in prehistoric times. The scientific community would have no Choice but to acknowledge the truth. All their textbooks, their research, their fundamental assumptions about prehistoric life. Everything would crumble. [music] >> This

could be our moment, Reiner. Our chance to revolutionize human understanding of our own history. >> But we need to act fast. Once they publish their findings, security around that site is going to increase dramatically. [music] Right now, it's just a small team with minimal protection. How do you suggest we proceed? We can't just walk onto an active excavation site and [music] start taking samples. >> No, but we can make it easier to access. If we could somehow clear out the paleontologists [music] temporarily, create a distraction or scare them away. >> I have an idea about

that, actually. What if we could psychologically [music] disturb them, make them too afraid to Continue working? >> What do you mean? >> Remember that children's movie series Ice [music] Age with the mammoth, the sloth, and the saber-tooth? >> Yeah, what about it? >> Well, [music] those are exactly the same species they found at the dig site, right? So, what if I created some alternative versions of those movies? A horrific parody [music] that shows these creatures engaging in the kind of Ritualistic behavior they actually discovered. >> That's brilliant. You could send it anonymously to the paleontology

[music] team. Make them think someone is watching and threatening them. >> Exactly. I'll make the video so disturbing, so psychologically unsettling [music] that they'll start questioning their own sanity. >> And while they're distracted and Terrified, I can deploy my drones to collect bone samples. And I'll make sure to only take small pieces that won't be immediately missed. How long do you need? Give me 48 hours to analyze their security system and [music] plan the extraction. How long will it take you to create the videos? I can have the first one ready by tonight. [music] I've

got all the rendering software and voice modulation equipment at hand already. Plus, [music] I've been working on some Pretty twisted animation techniques. >> Perfect. What's your vision for these videos? [music] >> Picture this. Manny the mammoth, Sid the Sloth, and Diego the Saber-tooth. But instead of their usual friendly adventures, [music] they're engaged in brutal sacrificial rituals, torturing smaller animals on stone altars [music] whilst using primitive tools to inflict maximum suffering. >> That's disturbing enough to mess with Anyone's head, especially people [music] who just discovered evidence of similar behavior. >> I'll make the audio particularly unsettling,

[music] and I'll include specific details that only someone who was watching their excavation would know, like what? the exact [music] positioning of the skeletons, the types of tools they found, maybe even reference specific team members by name, make it personal. That'll definitely Freak them out. They'll think someone is stalking [music] them, which technically we are, but they don't need to know that. Once you start sending the videos, how long before you think they'll abandon the site? Depends on how psychologically resilient they are. But I'm planning to escalate [music] the content with each video. Start relatively

mild and gradually increase the horror factor. >> Psychological warfare. I like it. By the Time [music] I'm finished with them, they'll be too terrified to continue working, especially at night, which is perfect for my sample collection missions. My drones operate best in low light conditions anyway. And while they're dealing with psychological trauma from the videos, we'll be collecting the genetic material we need for our cloning project. Speaking of [music] which, how's the laboratory setup coming along? >> Better than expected, actually. The cloning equipment is fully operational now. We just need sufficient genetic material to begin

the resurrection process. [music] How much material do you need? >> Not much, actually. Even small bone fragments contain enough DNA for our purposes. The key is getting samples from multiple specimens. [music] Multiple specimens. We want to clone representatives from each species they Found. The mammoth, the saber-tooth, the [music] sloth. Imagine the impact when we reveal living, breathing examples of prehistoric intelligence. The world will never be the same. [music] Academic institutions will crumble. Religious organizations will scramble to explain how these creatures fit into their creation stories. And we'll be the ones controlling the narrative, the truth

tellers who expose decades of scientific cover-ups. I'm getting [music] excited Just thinking about it. But first, we need to execute this plan flawlessly. [music] No mistakes, no traces leading back to us. >> Agreed. The videos need to appear completely anonymous, and my drone operations have to be invisible. >> I've already [music] set up multiple proxy servers and encrypted channels, so the videos will be impossible to trace. And my drones are equipped with stealth technology. [music] >> Perfect. When do you want me to start sending the videos? >> Tomorrow night, if possible. Give me today to

finalize my drones and figure out where to send them in from. I need to identify the best times and locations for sample [music] collection. >> Sounds good. >> This is it, Monigu. This is our moment to change history, >> to expose the truth that's been hidden for far too long. Are you ready for This? >> I've been ready [music] for years. Let's bring these creatures back to life and show the world what really existed in prehistoric [music] times. >> Major update, everyone. We've successfully recovered all the fossils from the ritual [music] site. They're being prepared

for transport to the university lab as we speak. >> That's fantastic [music] news, Max. How long did the full excavation take? >> About a week of careful extraction, [music] but it was worth every hour. We discovered even more evidence of their intelligence. More evidence? [music] What did you find? A bunch more primitive tools and weapons that were also scattered throughout [music] the site. Oh, and some were buried alongside the skeletal remains. >> Weapons? You mean these creatures actually crafted implements for violence? [music] >> That's exactly what I mean. We found sharpened stones, carved bone implements,

and what appear to be torture devices? Jesus. >> Were the tools sophisticated? more sophisticated than they had any right to be. The craftsmanship [music] suggests deliberate design for specific purposes. And based on the markings on the central skeleton, these tools were used for prolonged methodical torture. Yikes, man. We're seriously talking About predators that could plan, craft [music] weapons, and engage in ritualistic sadism. >> Yep. Which brings me to something strange that just happened. I received an anonymous video package on my phone about an hour ago. >> An anonymous video package? What's on them? >> I

haven't watched them yet. The sender is listed as unknown and there's no message attached, just nine video clips. >> That's suspicious [music] timing. Right after you complete the excavation. >> Could be academic rivals trying to intimidate you. >> Maybe. Do you guys want to see what they sent? I can [music] forward them to the group chat. >> Yes, definitely. >> I'm curious what this is about. Send them over. >> All right, here's the first clip. >> This November, Get ready for the coolest road trip ever. >> That's just a movie trailer. It kind of looks

like that Ice Age movie or something similar. >> Why would [music] someone send you animated movie clips? >> No idea. Let me send the next one. [screaming] >> Oh, that's definitely Ice Age. I recognize those characters. >> But [music] why send children's movie Clips to a paleontologist? [music] >> What the hell? That [music] was disturbing. The image corruption makes it look sinister. >> There are some real freaks out there. Gez, [music] >> the mammoth. >> You're an embarrassment to nature. Do you know that? >> Wait a minute. Mammoth, saber-tooth, sloth. Those are the exact same

species You found at the dig [music] site. >> That can't be a coincidence. I'm starting to think the same thing. Okay, that's genuinely terrifying. The eyes are edited to look demonic, [music] meaning someone deliberately made this to look disturbing. >> And there's still four more clips to go. >> And scratch. Ice Age is coming to DVD and video. >> This feels like a threat. Someone is sending you horror versions of Children's movies, and the [music] movie they chose just happens to relate to exactly what you just dug up. I think you're right. >> Special edition

video and two disc DVD include exclusive footage of Scratch's missing adventure. >> This is psychological warfare. Someone knows about your discovery and [music] they're trying to mess with your head. >> I want to see the end. >> That's literally like the skeleton you Found at the [music] ritual site. >> What the hell? What the heck? >> That's [music] absolutely horrific. >> Someone spent serious time creating these disturbing edits. >> Whoever sent this knows about your discovery. They know you found mammoth, saber-tooth, and sloth [music] remains, and they're using that knowledge to terrorize you. But how

could they possibly know? We've kept everything Confidential. The only people who know are us and my immediate excavation [music] team. >> Someone must be watching the dig site. Surveillance, maybe? or someone on your team is leaking information. >> I trust [music] my team completely, but surveillance is definitely possible. The site has been relatively isolated and unprotected. >> Max, you need to report this to the authorities [music] immediately. This is Clearly targeted intimidation. >> You're right. I should ignore these videos [music] and focus on getting the fossils safely transported. Let me go check on the transport

truck. >> Good [music] idea. Don't let some anonymous psycho distract you from your groundbreaking discovery. I'll be right [music] back. Just going to verify everything is secure for transport. >> Be careful, Max. Someone clearly has it out for you. >> Guys, emergency. [music] The truck's been broken into. >> What? Are you serious? >> The back door is completely destroyed. [music] Someone used some kind of heavy equipment to break the lock. Are the fossils okay? >> That's just it. They're not all here. Multiple bones from each specimen are missing. Someone took samples from the mammoth, the

saber-tooth, [music] and The sloth. That must mean this was a coordinated attack. First, the psychological warfare [music] with the videos, and now theft of the actual specimens. Whoever did this knew exactly what they were looking for. They didn't take everything, just specific bone samples. [music] Like they needed genetic material. >> Genetic material? What would someone want with prehistoric DNA? This is way beyond academic rivalry. This is Industrial espionage or something worse. >> I'm calling the police right now. This is [music] theft of priceless scientific specimens. >> Document everything before anyone else touches the [music] scene.

Take photos of the damage and the missing samples. Already on it, but I'm starting to think those videos weren't just harassment. In fact, I think they were a distraction because while we were all focused on the clips, someone was stealing our Discovery, which then also means that someone has been watching [music] us and planning this. >> Max, you need to get out of there. If they're still monitoring the site, you could be in danger. >> I'm not leaving until the police [music] arrive, but I'm definitely not staying here alone. I'm calling my entire excavation team

back to the site. >> Good thinking. Safety and numbers. Has anyone else experienced anything strange At their dig sites? >> Nothing on [music] my end. Alaska's been quiet, too. >> Same in Argentina. So, this is specifically targeted at my discovery. Someone wants those particular fossils. But why? >> Maybe they believe in the same theories we [music] discussed about intelligent prehistoric predators. Or maybe they want to suppress the evidence [music] to keep the truth from coming out. >> Either way, we need to report this. >> I'll help you write up the incident report. [music] This needs

to be reported to the university, the police, and possibly federal authorities. >> The police just arrived. I need to go give my statement. I'll update you all as soon as I [music] know more. Mission accomplished, my friend. The retrieval went even better than we anticipated. >> Tell me everything. Did the videos work as a distraction? >> Perfectly. While that [music] boring paleontologist Max was busy freaking out over your brilliant Ice Age parodies, my drone slipped in and collected exactly what we needed. >> How much genetic material did you manage to extract? >> More than enough

to begin the cloning process. [music] I got bone samples from the mammoth, the saber-tooth, and the giant sloth, plus some additional fragments from the smaller predators. >> That's incredible. So, you actually have the DNA of intelligent prehistoric predators? >> I do, indeed. And the extraction quality is better than I hoped. >> Holy crap. Are those the actual fossils from the ritual site? >> The very same bones that those academic drones were so excited about? Yes. But unlike them, [music] we're not going to waste these specimens by sticking them in some dusty museum display. >> Exactly.

[music] Science is supposed to be about innovation and discovery, not just cataloging old bones for people to stare at. These paleontologists are so limited in their thinking. They find evidence of prehistoric intelligence. And what do they do? Write papers about it. Preserve it in formaldahhide, file it away in some archive that nobody will ever see. [music] >> While we're going to bring these creatures back to life, prove that History has been sanitized and watered down. Show the world what really existed in prehistoric [music] times. >> Speaking of which, I want to split the samples. Send

half to your facility so we can both work on the resurrection process simultaneously. >> That's [music] a brilliant idea. Two laboratories working independently will double our chances of success. [music] >> Plus, if one of our facilities gets discovered or shut down, the other can Continue the project. [music] Redundancy is key. When can you ship the samples? I'll prepare a secure transport container [music] tonight. You should receive your specimens by tomorrow afternoon. Perfect. My cloning equipment is ready to begin DNA extraction immediately. >> How long do you estimate [music] before we can produce viable embryos? Well,

based on my calculations, I'm estimating around 2 to 3 weeks for a successful Genetic reconstruction and then maybe another week for embryionic development. [music] So, we're looking at roughly a month before we have living, breathing prehistoric predators. [music] A month to completely revolutionize human understanding of prehistory and expose the lies that academic institutions have been telling for decades. Can you imagine the look on those paleontologists [music] faces when we reveal living examples of The very creatures they've been studying as fossils? >> They'll be absolutely humiliated. All their careful excavation and preservation work [music] will be

completely overshadowed by our innovation. That's what happens when you think small. They're content to dig up [music] old bones and speculate about behavior. We're actually going to resurrect extinct species. [music] And not just any extinct species. These Are predators with advanced cognitive abilities. creatures capable of planning, toolmaking, and ritualistic behavior. [music] >> The implications are staggering. If these animals were intelligent enough to create sacrificial rituals, what else were they capable of? >> We're going to find out firsthand. Once they're alive again, we can study their behavior directly. No more guessing based on fossil arrangements. >>

Direct [music] observation of prehistoric intelligence. This is going to be the greatest scientific breakthrough in human history. And we're going to be the ones who made it happen. Not some boring university researchers, but independent innovators who had the vision to actually do something [music] with these discoveries. >> Those paleontologists are just glorified grave robbers. They dig things up, catalog them, and file them [music] Away. Where's the innovation in that? >> There isn't any. They're preservationists, not creators. They want to maintain the status quo, and protect their academic reputations. >> While we're willing to take risks

[music] and push boundaries, that's the difference between real scientists and academic bureaucrats. >> Exactly. They're terrified of challenging established theories. [music] We're willing to prove that Everything they believe is wrong. Have you started the DNA extraction process yet? >> I began preliminary analysis this morning. The genetic material is in remarkable condition, [music] much better preserved than I anticipated. What about the cloning equipment? Everything running smoothly? >> All systems are operational. I've been testing [music] and calibrating for weeks. We're ready to begin full-scale Resurrection procedures. >> Same here. I've been fine-tuning my equipment for months. This

is what we've been working [music] toward for years. The culmination of everything we've researched and theorized. Soon we'll have proof [music] that prehistoric life was far more complex and terrifying than anyone imagined. >> I'm particularly excited about the behavioral studies. If these creatures were capable of ritualistic torture, [music] what kind of intelligence are we dealing with? >> We'll find out soon enough. But first, we need to successfully bring them back to life. >> Which specimens are you prioritizing? >> I'm starting with the saber-tooth. The genetic material from that specimen is the [music] most complete. >>

I'll focus on the giant sloth initially. The bone samples you collected from that specimen look perfect for DNA Extraction. And if we're both successful, we'll have representatives from two [music] different species. We can study how they interact with each other, >> assuming they don't immediately try to [music] kill each other. These were predators with sadistic tendencies after all. That's part of what makes this so exciting. We're not just bringing back extinct animals. [music] We're resurrecting intelligent, malevolent Creatures that the world has never seen alive. >> The world is going to be very [music] different once

these creatures exist again. Everything we think we know about prehistoric life will change. And we'll be the ones controlling that change. [music] the ones who decide how much information to release and when. >> Should we coordinate our timelines? Make sure we're both ready to reveal our successes simultaneously. [music] >> Good thinking. Maximum impact if we unveil living prehistoric predators at the same time. Double the shock [music] value. >> Let's aim for the end of this month. 4 weeks should be enough time for successful resurrection. >> Agreed. In [music] 4 weeks, the world is going to

be a very different place. >> Guys, I need to share something urgent with you. The DNA analysis results just came back from the lab. [music] And what We've discovered from them is absolutely terrifying. >> What did you find? >> Please tell me it's not more bad news. Oh, it's much worse than we initially thought. These creatures weren't just intelligent. They were so intelligent that they have IQ's higher [music] than most modern humans today. >> More intelligent than humans? How is that even possible? >> The genetic analysis shows brain Development patterns that indicate advanced [music] cognitive

abilities that are all far beyond what we see in contemporary species. >> But they lived 20,000 years ago. How [music] could prehistoric predators be more intelligent than us? >> That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out, but the evidence is undeniable. >> Those genetic markers, they're completely unlike anything I've [music] Seen before. >> And that's not even the worst part. The DNA contains a genetic strand that indicates a severely underdeveloped prefrontal [music] cortex. >> Wait, what does that mean exactly? >> The prefrontal cortex controls impulse regulation, [music] empathy, and moral reasoning. If these creatures

had underdeveloped prefrontal [music] cortexes, it means that they had no sense of morality whatsoever. No Empathy, no guilt, [music] no capacity for ethical thinking. Just pure intelligence combined with complete moral vacancy. >> So they were essentially super intelligent psychopaths. >> That's exactly what they were. Creatures with advanced cognitive abilities but absolutely no moral constraints. [music] >> That explains the ritualistic torture behavior. They were intelligent enough to plan complex activities, but had no Moral framework to prevent them from engaging in sadistic behavior. >> The DNA evidence suggests they actually derived pleasure from inflicting suffering. It wasn't

just hunting for survival. [music] It was torture for entertainment. >> That's absolutely horrific. Thank god these creatures are extinct. >> Can you imagine what the world would be like if these things were still alive? >> I've been running cognitive simulations Based on their [music] genetic profiles, and the results are nightmare fuel. Those neural patterns are terrifying. Look at the activity in the aggression centers. >> Exactly. Their brains were literally wired for violence and [music] sadism. And with intelligence levels exceeding modern humans, they would have been unstoppable apex [music] predators. >> How did creatures like this

even go extinct with that kind of intelligence And aggression, they should have dominated the ecosystem? >> I'm still [music] researching that, but I suspect it might have been some kind of catastrophic environmental event. Something that killed them off before they could fully establish dominance. >> [music] >> Or maybe they destroyed themselves. Creatures with that level of intelligence but no morality. They [music] probably turned on each other Eventually. >> Either way, I'm grateful they're gone. The idea of super intelligent predators [music] with no moral constraints. That's the stuff of nightmares. Which brings me to something that's

been keeping me awake at night. The stolen bone samples. Someone out there has genetic [music] material from these creatures. >> Oh crap. I hadn't thought about that. >> What if whoever stole them tries to Extract DNA? >> That's exactly what I'm worried about. With modern cloning technology, it might be possible to resurrect these creatures. >> But who would be crazy enough to attempt something like that? [music] >> Someone who doesn't understand what they're dealing with, or someone who does understand and doesn't care. Has anyone heard back from the police about the theft investigation? >> Nothing

on my end. [music] The authorities in Alaska haven't contacted me either. >> Same here. So, we have no idea where those samples are or who has them. [music] Someone could be trying to clone super intelligent psychopathic predators right now, and we'd have no way of knowing until it's too late. [music] Max, you're scaring the hell out of me. Please tell me that cloning creatures from 20,000y old DNA isn't actually [music] possible. >> With current technology, it's definitely possible. Difficult, but not impossible. Especially if they have sufficient genetic material. >> And you said they took samples

from multiple [music] specimens. >> Yeah, mammoth, saber-tooth, and sloth. Plus some smaller predators. More than [music] enough genetic diversity for cloning attempts. >> We need to contact federal authorities. This goes way beyond simple theft. This is a potential biological threat. I've been thinking the same thing, but without any leads on who took [music] the samples. I'm not sure what authorities can do. At least they'd be aware of the potential threat, and they might have resources we don't have access to. You're [music] right. I'll contact federal law enforcement tomorrow. This is too dangerous to handle through

local police. >> What about the university? Shouldn't they be involved in this decision? [music] >> The university administration is more concerned about protecting their reputation. They don't want [music] negative publicity about stolen specimens. But this transcends institutional politics. If these creatures were as dangerous as the genetic evidence suggests, [music] and if someone successfully brings them Back to life, >> it could be catastrophic. Super intelligent predators with no moral constraints loose in the modern world. They'd be unlike anything law enforcement or military has ever dealt with. >> Let's hope whoever stole those samples doesn't have the

technical expertise to clone them, or that they realize how dangerous these creatures are before attempting resurrection. I wish I [music] could be optimistic about that, but the theft was too sophisticated, too precise. Whoever did this knew exactly what they were looking for, which [music] suggests they understand the significance of these specimens. >> Then they might also understand the risks involved. >> Or they might be willing to take those risks. Some people are driven by scientific curiosity regardless [music] of consequences. >> Or they might not believe the creatures are as dangerous as we've determined. >> The

genetic evidence is pretty conclusive, though. Nothing could control creatures like this. [music] They'd be too intelligent and too aggressive. >> Exactly. Which is why I'm going back to the lab to continue analyzing the remaining samples. The more we understand about these creatures, the better prepared we'll be if someone Actually manages to bring them [music] back. Keep us updated on anything else you discover. >> And please be careful with those remaining specimens. >> Don't worry. Security around the lab has been significantly increased since the [music] theft, but I'll keep you all informed if I find anything

else. For now, let's just hope that whoever stole those samples doesn't have the capability or the stupidity to actually Try cloning [music] these monsters. >> Montag, emergency. Shut down your cloning operation right now. What's wrong? What happened? They're [music] alive. The creatures are alive and they've killed everyone. What are you talking about? Slow down and explain. After a month of failures, we finally succeeded. The saber-tooth [music] and giant sloth came to life about an hour ago. And the instant they opened their eyes, they smiled. >> They smiled. >> Yes, they freaking smiled like they knew

exactly what they wanted to do. And then they started ripping through the containment walls. [music] >> Containment walls? Those were designed to hold back a dinosaur. >> These things are stronger than we calculated [music] and so much more intelligent. They're hunting my staff like it's a game. >> Where are you right now? safe room. But I can hear them outside. They're not [music] just killing people, they're torturing them. >> Are you sure? [music] >> Jesus Christ, that thing looks absolutely massive. >> It's worse than that. Watch how it moves. It's not hunting for food. It's

hunting for sport. >> What about the [music] sloth? >> The sloth is even worse. It's slow and Methodical, taking its time with each victim. >> That's not possible. Sloths are supposed to be harmless herbivores. Not these sloths. This one has [music] claws like swords and it's using them to systematically dismember people. >> How many people are dead? >> My entire research team. [music] 12 people. All of them tortured before they were killed. >> Are you calling the police? >> Already did. But I don't think conventional weapons are going to stop these things. [music] They're too

intelligent. Too fast. Too strong. >> What do you mean too intelligent? >> They're working together, coordinating their attacks, setting traps for the remaining staff. [music] One drives people toward the other. That's impossible. Animals don't coordinate like that. >> These aren't normal animals. Remember What that paleontologist found? evidence of ritualistic intelligence. [music] Well, that intelligence is very much intact. But they just came to life an hour ago. How could they already be this organized? >> I think their intelligence was somehow preserved in their DNA, [music] like genetic memory or something because they knew exactly what to

do the moment they woke up. >> What are they doing now? >> I can hear the saber-tooth [music] cackling in the corridor. Not roaring, cackling like it's enjoying this. And the sloth, there's this horrible tearing sound coming from the main lab. I think it's pulling apart Dr. Martinez limb [music] by limb, taking its time, making sure he stays alive as long as possible. This is a nightmare. We never should have attempted this. >> You think I don't know that, but [music] it's too late now. These things are Loose, and they're not going to stop with

my facility. What do you mean? They're too smart. Once they're done here, they're going to want to [music] spread out and find more victims. The police will stop them, will they? These creatures survive the ice age. They're built to hunt and kill. And now they have all the intelligence of their prehistoric selves. Plus, whatever they've learned about modern technology from observing my lab, they can't Possibly understand modern technology. >> They figured out how to open electronic doors. They disabled the security system and I think they're trying to access the computer [music] networks. These things are

learning at an exponential rate. How long before the police arrive? They said 20 minutes, but I don't think I have 20 [music] minutes. Something just started growling outside the safe room door. Can they get through it? >> The safe room was designed to withstand Human intruders, [music] not super intelligent prehistoric predators with enhanced strength. >> Maybe you can hide until help arrives. >> There's nowhere to hide. They know I'm in here, and they're patient enough to wait. [music] I can hear them communicating with each other, making plans for what they're going to do when they

get through this door. >> Communicating how? >> Some kind of clicking and growling Sounds. But [music] it's definitely language. They're coordinating strategy. This can't be real. >> If they get to me, I know what they're going to do. The same thing [music] they did to that prehistoric rat creature 20,000 years ago. Torture and sacrifice. >> Don't [music] think like that. Just stay hidden and wait for help. >> I can smell blood seeping under the door. They're bringing pieces of my staff to show me [music] what they're Capable of. Oh god. This is psychological warfare. They

want me terrified before they start. These creatures don't just kill. They enjoy the fear as much as the violence. >> Reiner, [music] you need to get out of there. >> There is no way out. They've blocked all the exits. And even if I could escape, where would I go? These things are going to hunt me down eventually. We'll figure something out. >> No, Montigue. You need to destroy your laboratory right now before [music] your mammoth comes to life. >> It might be too late for that. Is that a fully formed mammoth? >> The cloning [music]

process just finished. It's starting to move. These creatures are a thousand times worse than we imagined. Run. Run while you still can. Everyone needs to see this breaking news report right now. Massacre at secret laboratory. [music] Entire Staff found dead. >> What the hell is this related to our stolen fossils? >> It gets much worse. Police [music] were called to a private research facility last night. They found over 50 people dead. All of them brutally tortured [music] and dismembered. >> That's horrific. But why are you showing us this? Because they found pieces of our stolen

[music] fossils scattered throughout the laboratory. The facility Was owned by someone named Reiner. And according to the news report, [music] it was equipped with advanced cloning technology. Oh no, please tell me they didn't actually succeed in cloning those creatures. They found the owner, [music] this Riner guy, hanging from his own intestines in what was supposed to be a safe room. But here's the part that's going to terrify you. When police entered the building to investigate, body cam footage shows them being Systematically hunted and killed. >> Hunted by what? >> A saber-tooth cat and a giant

ground sloth. Very much alive and very [music] much intelligent. You're telling me someone actually resurrected those creatures? >> The footage shows these things setting traps for the police officers, [music] not attacking head-on like normal animals, but luring them into ambushes, coordinating their attacks. That's Exactly the kind of intelligent behavior we found evidence [music] of at the ritual site. This is a catastrophe. Those creatures are designed for torture and murder, and now they're loose in the modern world. It gets [music] worse. According to the report, the creatures escaped the facility. Police have no idea where they

are now. Two super intelligent psychopathic predators are just roaming free. This is everyone's worst nightmare scenario. [music] >> The news is calling it an unexplained animal attack. They have no idea what they're actually dealing with. >> Wait, I'm seeing another news report right now. >> What the heck? >> A mammoth [music] just burst out of another secret laboratory covered in blood and it's carrying something in its trunk. >> Carrying what? Those are more fossil pieces. >> There was a second cloning [music] facility, apparently. So, and now this mammoth is heading directly toward the location where

[music] the saber-tooth and sloth escaped. >> They're converging on the same location. That's not coincidental behavior. >> These creatures are coordinating across multiple sites. >> The [music] mammoth is carrying additional genetic material, more stolen fossil fragments. >> If they're bringing more DNA samples to a central location, they're planning to resurrect additional specimens, build an army. >> But how could they possibly [music] understand cloning technology? >> Remember what we learned about their intelligence levels? They're smarter than most humans. and they've been observing modern technology in those laboratories. >> They're learning exponentially, adapting Prehistoric intelligence [music] to

modern capabilities. >> The news is saying the mammoth has reached the first facility and it's it's gone inside. >> Three super intelligent prehistoric predators [music] are now working together with access to cloning equipment and additional genetic material. This is an extinction level [music] threat. If they succeed in cloning more of their kind, humanity Won't stand a chance. >> How [music] could conventional law enforcement possibly stop creatures like this? They can't. These predators are too intelligent, too strong, and too coordinated. [music] >> The military needs to get involved. Bomb that facility before they can clone additional

specimens. >> But what if they've already started the process? What if there are already more creatures developing in cloning Chambers? Then we're looking at the beginning of a new era. An era where humans are no longer the apex [music] predators. >> There has to be something we can do. Some weakness these creatures have that we can exploit. [music] >> Actually, there might be. Remember what Professor Vance discovered about the tools at the original dig site? >> You mean the obsidian altar? The black stone that [music] the sacrificial Victim was placed on. >> Exactly. That wasn't

just any stone. It was specifically obsidian. And all the ritual tools were made from the same [music] material. >> You think obsidian has some kind of significance to these creatures? >> I think it might be their weakness. The one thing they fear, why else would they [music] build their entire ritual system around it? >> That's actually brilliant. If obsidian Was central to their sacrificial [music] practices, maybe it has some kind of psychological or physical effect on them. Are [music] you suggesting we could use obsidian as a weapon? >> I'm suggesting it might be our only

option. Conventional weapons aren't going to stop these [music] creatures. But if obsidian has some special property, we need to test this theory immediately before more creatures are cloned. How much obsidian do we need? Enough to arm [music] a tactical team, and we need it fast. >> I can coordinate the acquisition and processing. [music] My contacts and geological supply can get us raw obsidian within hours. I'll handle the tactical coordination, [music] work with law enforcement to develop a strategy. >> I'll analyze the ritual site data to determine the most effective obsidian configurations. [music] And I'll Coordinate

everything from here. We're the only people who understand what we're actually fighting. This is our responsibility. We discovered [music] these creatures and now we have to stop them before they destroy everything. >> How long before we can be ready? >> 24 hours maximum. These creatures are learning and adapting too [music] quickly. Every moment we delay gives them more time to clone reinforcements. >> Then we better get started immediately. >> This is either going to save humanity or get us all [music] killed. >> Either way, we're the only ones who can do it. Everyone, get to

work. We'll reconvene on this chat when everything is ready. >> Chief Gordon, [music] I was told to contact you after calling 911. There's been an incident at my laboratory. >> Incident? You mean the freaking mammoth that just destroyed half your facility? The same mammoth that's now heading Toward another location to meet [music] up with two other prehistoric monsters? Yes, that's that's what I'm calling about. I barely escaped with my life. >> Oh, [music] you barely escaped. How convenient for you. Unlike the 12 people at your partner's facility [music] who were tortured to death, or the

23 police officers who've been slaughtered trying to contain your freaking abominations. >> Look, I know this looks bad, but we didn't know the creatures would [music] Be this dangerous. >> You cloned prehistoric predators without any safety protocols. What the hell did you think was going to happen? >> We [music] thought we could control them, study them in containment. We never intended for anyone to get hurt. >> Well, congratulations. You've created [music] the worst crisis this city has ever faced. Three super intelligent monsters that are systematically hunting [music] and killing every human they Encounter. >> I

understand you're angry, but I might have information that could help. [music] The only reason I survived is because I hid inside an obsidian stone formation we were testing. >> Obsidian stone? What does that [music] have to do with anything? >> The mammoth seemed afraid of it. Like genuinely terrified. It wouldn't come anywhere near the obsidian. Are you telling me these creatures have a Weakness? [music] >> I think so. Yes. The obsidian provided complete protection. The mammoth fled the moment it saw me near the stone. >> Why the hell didn't you lead with that information? >>

I'm still trying to process everything that happened. >> Jesus Christ. [music] That mammoth tore through your facility like it was made of paper. Which brings me to our current problem. That same mammoth just reached Riner's facility. [music] It stampeded directly through our police blockade. >> How many officers were hurt? >> Hurt? 12 officers are [music] dead. The mammoth made sure to crush as many of them as possible on its way through. It wasn't trying to escape. It was trying to maximize casualties. [music] That's That's impossible. Animals don't think that strategically. >> These aren't normal animals.

And now [music] all three creatures are together At the same location with access to cloning equipment and [music] additional genetic material. >> Can't you just evacuate the area and send in the military? >> We've tried. Every time we send teams into that facility, [music] they get slaughtered. These creatures are setting elaborate traps, using the building's layout against us. [music] What kind of traps? >> Coordinated ambushes, false retreats That lead soldiers into kill zones. They're using psychological warfare, playing with their victims before finishing [music] them off. But surely with enough firepower. >> We can't use heavy

weapons. The facility is powered by a nuclear reactor. One stray missile, and we're [music] looking at a nuclear explosion in the middle of the city. >> A nuclear reactor? Why would a cloning laboratory need nuclear power? Because Your partner was running massive energyintensive [music] operations. Apparently, cloning prehistoric predators requires enormous amounts of electricity. [music] >> So, you can't bomb the facility? >> Not without risking a nuclear disaster, which means we need a groundbased solution, [music] and that's where you come in. >> Me? I'm not a soldier. >> But you understand these creatures Better than anyone.

You created them, and you might know how to stop them. >> I told you [music] about the obsidian. That's all I know. >> It's more than we had before. My officers are entering your facility now to collect evidence, including samples [music] of that obsidian you mentioned. >> They're arresting me, aren't they? >> You're damn right they are. You and your partner created weapons [music] of mass destruction. 35 people are dead because Of your reckless experiments. >> I understand. I'll cooperate fully with the investigation. >> You better because right now you're our only lead on how

to stop these things. What's the current situation at Riner's facility? >> Complete lockdown. We've [music] established a perimeter, but we can't get close. Every surveillance drone we send in gets destroyed and the few soldiers who made it inside report Hearing machinery running >> machinery >> cloning equipment. We think they're already in the process of creating additional specimens. [music] >> How long before new creatures are viable? >> According to your research notes, anywhere from 24 to [music] 48 hours, which means we have less than 2 days to stop them before three become six or worse. The

genetic material they have Access to. [music] There were samples from multiple species. If they're successful, they could clone dozens of creatures, >> which is why we need that obsidian information, and we need it fast. >> I'll tell you everything I know, but the obsidian effect might be limited. [music] I only tested it on one creature for a few minutes. >> It's still our best lead. My team is working with some paleontologists who Seem to know [music] more about these creatures. They're developing some kind of tactical plan. >> Paleontologists? >> The team that originally discovered the

fossils you [music] stole, they've been analyzing the creature's behavior patterns. >> They must hate us for what we've done. Hate doesn't begin to cover it, but they're willing to help stop [music] these creatures, which is more than you Deserve. >> Is there anything else I can do to help? >> Stay in custody and answer every question my investigators ask. [music] Your detailed knowledge of the cloning process might be crucial. If we're going to stop these things from reproducing, my officers are documenting everything. [music] Every piece of equipment, every research note, every scrap of evidence because

if we fail to stop these creatures, this facility will be Evidence in the trial that determines humanity's future. [music] I never wanted any of this to happen. We just wanted to advance scientific knowledge. >> Well, congratulations. You've [music] advanced us right into an extinction event. >> Is that Riner's laboratory? >> What's left of [music] it. Those creatures have turned it into a fortress. And every hour we wait, they get stronger and smarter. >> Chief, [music] I'm truly sorry for what we've unleashed. >> Save your apologies. Just pray that the paleontologists [music] and my tactical team

can find a way to stop these monsters before they turn this city into a hunting ground. Status report everyone. Are all assigned tasks [music] completed? >> Obsidian acquisition and processing finished. I've got enough material for Full body armor and weapon components. Tactical [music] coordination complete. I've briefed Chief Gordon on our strategy and gotten military clearance. >> Analysis of ritual site data [music] finished. I've determined the optimal obsidian configurations based on the original sacrificial altar. Psychological warfare counter measures ready. I've [music] prepared mental conditioning protocols to help resist the creature's intimidation tactics. Excellent work, everyone. Let's

review the plan one more time before we proceed. >> You're the closest to the target facility. [music] So, all obsidian components are being delivered to your location via drone. >> Confirmed. I can see the first delivery drone approaching. Now, >> remember, the obsidian theory is based on [music] what we found at the original dig site. The sacrificial rat was placed On an obsidian altar. That stone had to have special [music] significance to these creatures. >> Either it was sacred to them or it represented something they feared. Either way, it should provide protection. And if protection

isn't enough, I've got the hydro gun ready. >> Your experimental energy weapon. Are you sure it's powerful enough to stop these creatures? The hydro gun can tear through [music] 6 in of steel. If Obsidian can immobilize or weaken them, the energy beam should be able to finish the job. >> First drone has arrived. >> Perfect timing. The obsidian armor components look incredible. >> How long do you need to suit up and prepare? >> Give me 30 minutes to assemble [music] everything. The obsidian plating needs to be properly fitted, and I need to calibrate the hydro

gun's energy output. [music] Make sure the obsidian coverage is complete based on the ritual site analysis. Even small exposed areas could be vulnerable. I'll double check everything. No exposed [music] skin, no gaps in the armor. What's your entry strategy? I'm going through the main laboratory entrance. Direct [music] approach. The creatures are expecting military tactics. They won't be prepared for obsidian-based countermeasures. >> Are you sure about going in alone? We could coordinate with the military for backup. >> Too risky. These creatures are too intelligent. They detect a [music] larger force and adapt their strategy. A single

infiltrator has the best chance of success. >> Your primary objectives are clear, right? Eliminate all three creatures. [music] Destroy the cloning equipment. Prevent any additional specimens from Being created. >> Understood. Neutralize threats. Destroy equipment. Secure the facility. >> Second drone delivery incoming. >> Excellent. [music] That should be the obsidian ammunition for the hydro gun. >> Obsidian ammunition. >> I've developed specialized projectiles that combine the hydro gun's energy beam [music] with obsidian fragments. Double the effectiveness against these creatures. >> How much ammunition do you have? enough [music] for extended engagement, but I'm hoping the obsidian armor

will give me enough advantage that I won't need prolonged firefights. >> What if the obsidian doesn't work as expected? [music] >> Then I rely on mobility and firepower, hitand-run tactics, but I'm confident in our theory. The ritual site evidence is too compelling. [music] The creatures used obsidian exclusively for their Sacrificial activities. That can't be coincidental. >> Exactly. >> That armor looks incredibly intimidating [music] >> and heavy. Are you going to be able to move effectively? The obsidian plating is surprisingly lightweight and the armor design allows for full range of motion. I've been testing mobility for

the past hour. >> Communication protocol. >> I'll maintain radio contact as long as possible, but if the creatures detect electronic [music] signals, I might have to go silent to maintain surprise. How will we know if the mission is successful? If you don't hear from me within 4 hours, assume the worst and [music] implement containment protocol. >> Containment protocol. >> Surround the entire facility with obsidian barriers. [music] Create a perimeter that these creatures can't Cross. Keep them contained until we can figure out a different solution. [music] >> How much obsidian would that require? We've calculated approximately

10 tons for complete perimeter coverage. It's achievable, but it would take several [music] days to implement, >> which is why I need to succeed tonight. Before they finish cloning additional specimens, >> current intelligence suggests they've already started the process. You might Be walking into a facility with more than three creatures. I'm [music] prepared for that possibility. The hydro gun has rapid fire capability, and I've got enough obsidian ammunition for multiple targets. Max, I have to ask, are you prepared for what you might see in there? These creatures are sadistic. They take pleasure in torture and

suffering. I've reviewed all the evidence from Riner's [music] facility. I know what they're capable of, but I Also know that we're the only ones who can stop them. [music] >> The final drone delivery is approaching. Emergency supplies and backup equipment. >> Perfect. That completes the loadout. >> Chief Gordon's team is standing by. They'll maintain perimeter security and prevent civilian access, but they won't interfere with your mission unless [music] you specifically request backup. >> Understood. I'm going radio silent in 20 minutes. Final equipment check, then I Move out. >> Max, you're carrying the hopes of everyone.

If these creatures escape and start breeding, humanity might not survive. >> I understand the stakes. [music] That's why failure isn't an option. We believe in you. You discovered these creatures. [music] You understood their true nature, and now you're the one who's going to stop them. >> Good luck, Max. bring humanity back from The brink. Stay [music] safe and remember, we're monitoring every communication channel. If you need emergency extraction, we'll be ready. >> Thank you, everyone. [music] If this works, we'll have saved countless lives. If it doesn't, make sure the world knows what these creatures [music]

really are and make sure they're never resurrected again. >> The Obsidian barriers will hold them, but you're not going to fail. This plan [music] will work. >> Radio silence begins now. Next communication will either be mission success [music] or mission failure. Either way, humanity's future depends on the next 4 hours. >> Lincoln, I need you to monitor this situation closely. I'm watching drone footage of the infiltration right now. [music] >> What infiltration, chief? I thought we had the perimeter secured. >> Some obsidian armored scientist [music] just bypassed our entire security line. Looked like something out

of a science fiction movie. [music] Full body armor made from black volcanic glass. >> How did he get past our checkpoints? >> Professional infiltration skills. Moved like military special forces. But according to my contacts, this is one of the paleontologists who discovered the original fossils. [music] >> A paleontologist? What's he planning to Do against those creatures? >> I'm about to find out. I've got a surveillance drone [music] inside the facility now, following his movement through the building. >> What's he doing? >> Moving through the corridors systematically. [music] And here's the incredible part. He's avoiding every

single trap the creature set. Like, he knows exactly where they are. How is that [music] possible? >> I have no idea. But he's navigating through areas that killed dozens of our officers. That armor looks incredible. What kind of [music] weapon is he carrying? Some kind of experimental energy gun. Never seen anything like it. And he's approaching the main laboratory now. [music] >> Where the creatures are? >> Yes. And Lincoln. You're not going to believe what I'm seeing. >> What's [music] happening? >> The creatures are cowering. All three of them. The moment they saw him, they

started backing away. >> Cowering. These are the same creatures that slaughtered 50 people. >> They're terrified of that obsidian armor. Absolutely terrified. The saber-tooth is actually [music] whimpering. >> This is unbelievable. He just fired his weapon. The saber-tooth is down. Clean Hit. Instant kill. >> And the other creatures. >> The sloth is trying to hide behind some equipment, [music] but it's moving so slowly. Another shot. Sloth is eliminated. >> What about the mammoth? >> It's the [music] last one standing, and it's actually trying to communicate with him, making some kind of pleading sounds. >> The

mammoth [music] is begging for its Life. >> Looks like it, but he's not showing any mercy. Third shot fired. Mammoth is down. All three creatures [music] are dead. >> He actually did it. One person eliminated the threat that our entire force couldn't handle. >> And he's [music] moving toward the cloning equipment now. >> Is he destroying the laboratory? >> Yep. He's dismantling every piece of Equipment [music] and making sure nothing can be salvaged or repaired. And Lincoln, there was something developing in one of the chambers. [music] >> Another creature. >> Looked like it, but he

destroyed it just as it was materializing. We were literally minutes away from having four [music] of these monsters. >> Thank god he got there in time. >> Lincoln, get a cleanup crew down there immediately. I want every [music] piece Of evidence collected. And I want those creature remains secured for analysis. >> What about the scientist? [music] He's a hero. Give him whatever assistance he needs. >> Mission accomplished. All creatures eliminated. [music] Cloning facility destroyed. >> Max, you did it. You actually stopped them. >> We were monitoring emergency channels. [music] Police reports say the threat Has

been neutralized. >> The obsidian armor worked perfectly. The moment I entered the laboratory, all three creatures [music] immediately cowered. They were absolutely terrified of the obsidian. Just like we theorized from the ritual site, obsidian was their weakness. What was their behavior like when they [music] saw you? >> Complete submission. The saber-tooth was actually whimpering. The sloth tried to hide, and the mammoth seemed to be Pleading for its life. >> They recognized the obsidian's significance, [music] just like their ancestors did 20,000 years ago. >> The hydro gun made quick work of them. Three shots, three kills,

[music] no suffering, just efficient elimination. >> What about the cloning equipment? >> Completely destroyed. Every machine, every computer, every sample container, [music] nothing is salvageable. Were they in the process of creating Additional specimens? >> Yes, [music] there was a fourth creature just beginning to materialize. I destroyed it before the process could complete. We were literally minutes away [music] from having four of these monsters. >> The police officers are here with me now. They're helping document everything. But I found something disturbing. >> What did you find? >> Scratchings on the laboratory walls made by the creatures

themselves. [music] So, they were planning coordinated attacks on human populations. It gets worse. The scratches show they understood the cloning [music] process. They were planning to create an army of their own kind. An army of super intelligent psychopathic predators. Humanity wouldn't have survived. >> Thank [music] god you stopped them when you did. >> The evidence suggests they were planning to target major population centers, systematically hunting and torturing humans for sport, >> just [music] like they did in prehistoric times. These creatures were never meant to coexist with other life. >> There's a reason they went extinct.

[music] They were too dangerous to exist. >> Which brings me to our final decision. We need to destroy all remaining fossil Evidence. Every [music] bone, every sample, every trace of these creatures. >> Agreed. This knowledge is too dangerous to preserve. >> We've seen what happens when someone tries to bring them back. 50 people died because of our discovery. >> The remaining fossils at the university [music] need to be incinerated, and all research data needs to be permanently deleted. >> I'll coordinate the destruction of all Samples and equipment. [music] Make sure nothing remains that could be

used for future resurrection attempts. >> We'll tell the world that the fossils were damaged beyond recovery during the theft. No one needs to know what these creatures were really capable of. [music] >> Some knowledge is too dangerous to share. Humanity is safer without knowing these monsters ever existed. [music] >> The official report will classify this As a failed illegal cloning experiment. No mention of prehistoric intelligence or ritualistic behavior. >> Agreed. Montigue and Reiner will be prosecuted for [music] their crimes, but the true nature of what they unleashed dies with us. The world will never know

how close we came to extinction, and that's probably for the best. Max, you [music] saved humanity tonight, but we all contributed to stopping this catastrophe. >> We discovered something that should have stayed buried, but we also found the strength to stop it [music] before it was too late. The Obsidian knowledge dies with us, too. No one else should ever have that information. >> Agreed. Some secrets [music] are meant to protect people. >> I'm heading back to the university now. Time to destroy every trace of these creatures [music] and make sure they can never threaten humanity

again. The world Owes us a debt they'll never know about. >> And that's exactly how it should be. >> Case [music] closed.
