TOO LATE.
THERE'S
A DOZEN OF 'EM, MAYBE MORE,
CRAWLING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THE WEAPON
THEY'RE AFTER HAS MASSIVE
DESTRUCTIVE CAPABILITIES.
WE CAN'T LET THEM
GET THEIR HANDS ON IT.
WELL, YOU HEARD THE MAN.
C'MON.
WE'RE UNDER ATTACK. CALL IT IN!
WELL, DO THE HONORS.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
SOME KIND OF GAS.
COME ON.
SOMEHOW, YOU CARRIED MOLECULES
OF NERVE GAS WITH YOU WHEN
YOU RE-PHASED BACK
OUT OF THE BUILDING.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'VE BEEN EXPOSED?
NO, IT'S MORE
DANGEROUS THAN THAT.
NO, NO...
THE NERVE GAS MOLECULES BONDED
WITH YOUR MOLECULAR STRUCTURE.
WHICH MEANS...?
YOU KNOW, I
MEAN, YOUR BODY SHOULD WORK
THEM OUT OVER TIME, RIGHT?
BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS,
WE HAVE TO STAY ON GUARD AGAINST
SYMPTOMS OF CONTAMINATION.
CONTAMINATION.
NOW, JUST WHEN I WAS
STARTING TO FEEL BETTER, HUH?
DOES THAT
MEAN WE WASTED OUR MONEY
ON THE FLOWERS OH, HEY, NO.
ANY TIME A GIRL
GETS ME FLOWERS...
YEAH, WELL,
JUST BE THANKFUL YOU'RE
GETTING THEM ABOVE GROUND.
THAT'S RIGHT.
BECAUSE IF YOU'D RE-PHASED
SOLID AND EVEN GOTTEN A WHIFF OF
THAT NERVE GAS,
IT WOULD'VE PARALYZED YOUR
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
HMM.
THAT'LL TEACH ME TO PRACTISE
HOLDING MY BREATH, HUH?
SMELLS GREAT.

JESSE!
JESSE, UN-PHASE!
I CAN'T.
JESSE, CONCENTRATE.
THE LONGER YOU STAY UNSTABLE
THE MORE DANGEROUS IT IS.
JESSE, FOCUS.
COME ON, JESS.
YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF SECONDS.
AFTER THAT, YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO RE-FORM.
AH!
TAKE IT EASY.
 AGH!
ADAM, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
I WISH I KNEW.
HOW YOU DOING TODAY?
I NEED TO SEE SOME ID.
SO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH JESS?
THE NERVE GAS HAS AFFECTED THE
SECTION OF HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM
THAT CONTROLS
HIS POWER TO PHASE OUT.
OH...
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
HE'S LOSING HIS POWERS?
NO. IT'S MORE ABOUT CONTROL.
BUT IF HE GOES INTANGIBLE
AGAIN BEFORE THIS STUFF WORKS
ITSELF OUT OF HIS SYSTEM...
WELL, HE COULD LITERALLY
DISSIPATE INTO THIN AIR.
DEPLOY!
PERIMETER SET AT ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY METRES, SIR.
VENGEANCE IS
MINE, SAYETH THE LORD.
NOW.
ROUND UP ALL THE PERSONNEL AND
SECURE THEM IN THE UTILITY AREA.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
YOU WERE SENDING MY PEOPLE INTO
A FULLY-EQUIPPED MILITARY UNIT?
ADAM, I DIDN'T KNOW.
WELL, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU PUT THE LIVES
ON MY PEOPLE ON THE LINE.
HOW'S JESSE?
NOT GOOD.
THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING
HOW MUCH OF THAT NERVE GAS
PENETRATED HIS SYSTEM.
ADAM, BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY
WE HAD NO IDEA THE MAN BEHIND
THIS WAS SO DANGEROUS.
WHO IS THIS GUY?
COLONEL AARON GAUMONT.
NEVER HEARD OF HIM.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.
AT ONE POINT, HE HEADED
UP THE MOST COVERT MILITARY
INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
WE HAD TO OFFER.
AS FAR AS THE GOVERNMENT
WAS CONCERNED, HE DOESN'T EXIST.
WELL, I WISH
THAT WAS STILL TRUE.
HE DISAPPEARED ON A MISSION IN
THE MIDDLE EAST FIVE YEARS AGO.
UNTIL THIS MORNING,
WE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD.
AT THIS POINT,
WE HAVE NO MOTIVE...
BEVERLY.
BEVERLY.
AM I LOSING YOU?
HOLD ON.
WE'RE GETTING A FEED
DIRECTLY FROM GAUMONT.
I'M PATCHING IT INTO YOU.
TWELVE OF MY LOYAL SOLDIERS
-- THE FINEST THIS
COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER
-- DIED DURING A
GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED COVERT
OPERATION IN KYRGYZSTAN.
THEY WERE MEN
WHO LIVED VALIANTLY,
AND DID EVERYTHING THEIR
GOVERNMENT CALLED ON THEM TO DO.
AND THEY FOUND THEMSELVES
ABANDONED AND BETRAYED
BY THOSE THEY SERVED.
NOW YOU WHO KNOW NOTHING
OF HONOUR MUST NOW PAY.
TEN MILLION DOLLARS
FOR EACH FALLEN SOLDIER.
I'VE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE
NUCLEAR FACILITY AT TWIN CREEKS.
IF YOU DO NOT COME UP WITH
THE MONEY IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS,
YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A HOLOCAUST
THE LIKES OF WHICH THIS
COUNTRY HAS NEVER SEEN.
TWIN CREEKS WAS SHUT DOWN
YEARS AGO AND WAS TURNED INTO A
TOP SECRET FACILITY TO DEVELOP
A REACTOR FUEL CALLED XIRAXIUM.
AND A GUY WITH HIS CLEARANCE
MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT.
XIRAXIUM IS A RADIOACTIVE
COMPOUND A MILLION TIMES MORE
LETHAL THAN PLUTONIUM.
SO IF GAUMONT CAN INITIATE
A MELTDOWN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
