gotta get my family out.
Destroy whatever's in the barn.
Check. Better uncork my private stock.
- Chris, there may be spiders in the house.
- They're probably... All right, let's go.
Give me a minute to look around out here
and then we go in, nice and easy, all right?
Hel-lo!
Trick or treat.
Gotcha!
Let's see what we got up here.
Oh, my God. They got the professor.
Honey?
- We're in here, Ross.
- Hi, Dad.
I expected you home for dinner.
I got worried, I called the office.
Sorry, I didn't get a chance to call.
Okay, everyb...
Everybody just get up very slowly.
And walk towards the door.
Okay, quick and quiet.
We're gonna need another way out of here.
Upstairs, up into the bathroom.
We can climb out onto the roof.
Watch yourself, Ross.
Come on, Shelley.
Come on.
This doesn't make sense.
They're swarming.
I've never seen them this aggressive.
Hi, you guys, I'm Chris.
Put that under the door, quick!
Get it off me!
- Come on, Shelley.
- One at a time.
Down the trellis, honey.
Get out of there.
Ross, get out of there.
- Where's Ross?
- Right behind me.
Oh, no!
Shit!
Mom, spiders!
Shelley, Tommy, come here quick!
- Kids, come on.
- Get 'em away from the house.
Rock 'n' roll.
All right, it's party time.
Take that!
What is it?
Musty smell, moist, dark, no spiders.
There's no spiders.
It's dark, musty. The nest!
Nest. The queen.
Shit, I'm in the goddamn nest!
Help!
Chris!
I found the nest!
And I saw the queen!
Shit!
Come on.
Therapy.
That's your basic egg sac.
Be right back.
Where is it?
That was the goddamn general!
Help!
Not the Chвteau.
Goddamn it, where are you?
Damn it!
The itsy bitsy spider
climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
and washed the spider out
Come on, come on.
Shit!
Nice shot.
Thank God.
Don't mention it.
It's okay. Everything's okay.
- Oh, God, the spider...
- It's okay.
Most of them are dead.
The ones Delbert didn't get are dying.
- Where are the kids?
- The kids are fine. Everybody's okay.
# I left my heart
# In San Francisco
# High on a hill
You know what I'll miss most
about the country?
- What?
- I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.
At least we got out with our lives.
Yes.
And the Margaux.
To office politics, Christmas bonuses,
caffeine, adrenaline.
To things that we know,
to events that we can control.
To...
- Okay, that was a minor tremor.
- I barely felt it.
Probably wouldn't even show up
on that scale.
Richter scale.
Just a cable car going by.
We should check the kids.Welcome.
Dr Atherton, I presume.
- Wait a minute, not so fast.
- We're in a hurry, Mr Manley.
Leave your personal things. Just bring
your equipment. We depart immediately.
Miguel Higueras, our field assistant.
Sorry I'm late. I've been held up in Caracas
for a while with a fever.
Tell the truth, I'm not over it yet.
Be sick on your own time, Mr Manley.
I want close-ups of every specimen
and coverage of the surrounding
rain forests and tepuis.
The what?
Tepui. It's an Indian word for mountain.
A place where species have survived
in isolation for millions of years.
Any man-eating dinosaurs?
Atherton, you're in luck.
We're hitting a brand-new one today.
Great. Anybody ever get lost?
Legend says men who climb
to the rain desert never return,
but don't worry, we small-game hunters
don't climb, we fly!
He friendly?
I hope so. He's our guide.
Stick close.
Twenty-four hour ant.
They bite?
They kill, Mr Manley,
in sufficient numbers.
So do some of the frogs.
Don't touch any.
Great.
This is where we're going.
We land here, then walk down here.
This is a sinkhole.
A place where thousands of years
of streaming water
have torn away the rock.
It's very deep. 2,000 feet.
And dark at the bottom.
We'll need flash equipment.
Stegolepis.
Edible and nutritious enough
to survive on for weeks.
Thanks, I'll pass.
Plants your specialty?
Insects and spiders
