[music continues]

[helicopter whirring]

[intense music]

[male #1]
'Now, let's review this again.'

The probe footage
is on the left screen

and the footage from the
battleship is on the right.

Hmm. This is where the volcano

'started to prematurely
blow her top.'

'But still the probe gave us
these wonderful images.'

- There she was.
- 'Right where we planted her.'

[male #2]
'Big Baby I, a thermo nuclear
device ready to blow her top'

'along with the volcano.'

Talk about bad timing.

But I thought we did alright
under the circumstances.

[male #1]
'Yes, but the computer chopper
left too soon.'

'We lost valuable data.'

'Whoever heard
of an unmanned helicopter'

'scurrying off in fear.'

- It was nice timing for us.
- Tight is what it was.

Look at the footage shot
from the battleship.

'One moment, Tiki Island's here,
the next moment, poof!'

[expl*si*n]

[male #2]
'Incinerated
by Big Baby I.'

But look what happens next.

The probe's flying in just
over a hundred miles per hour.

[male #1]
'Not fast enough.'

[male #2]
Public service expendables.

[laughing]

I doubt anyone
could duplicate that.

- Our tax dollars at work.
- Careful where you say that.

If anyone knew it wasn't
a volcanic expl*si*n

if anyone knew
it was our first Big Baby

that blew Tiki Island
to kingdom come

if anyone knew that
Big Baby II was here waiting

for our next mission..
Huh?

[buzzing]

[gasps]

[men screaming]

[alarm blaring]

[men coughing]

[glass shatters]

[alarm beeping]

[male #1]
'Secure Big Baby II.
Quickly, quickly.'

- You can't do this.
- Oh, you're wrong, brother.

You should spend more time
hitting the books, Dr. Vedder.

[Dr. Vedder]
Unh!

[male #3]
'Move it. Move it!'

Verily is written,
"The slower foot and mind

will be consumed
by the fire of the heretics."

[guards]
'Hold! Freeze'

Move it!

- Oh, what happened?
- They took Big Baby II.

[male #2]
'They took the most powerful
compact nuclear b*mb'

'the world has ever seen.'

[instrumental music]

[Iris the computer]
'You must cross
the finish line in 42 seconds'

'to beat Jonny's high score.'

[Jessie]
'Not a problem!'

[gasps]

'Uh, ugh, uh.
Let it go.'

Ugh!

[beeping]

[Iris the computer]
'You have eight seconds.'

'Seven.'

'Six.'

- 'Five.'
- I'm gonna make it.

- 'Four.'
- Aah!

Something's wrong.
Shut the system down.

What happened?

- What did you do?
- We didn't do anything.

The program was
running smoothly

then it suddenly
began to break down.

It is written
in the Book Of Rage

that those who spurn
the Book Of Rage

will be visited by apocalypse.

'Fire, earthquake and flood'

'will obliterate your cities.'

Yet, those who believe
in the book, may save themselves

and find true redemption.

Uh, dad, we are
in Quest World Centre.

You've gotta get in here, now!

I, Ezekiel Rage

will depose
the rulers of corruption

who oppress the weak
and m*rder innocents.

Join my crusade.

Be one with my disciples.

The world will be ours.

Join my crusade.
Be one with my disciples.

The world will be ours.

He must've been
on the sat net.

The transmission
broke into Quest World.

We recorded
as much as we could.

- Can we get a trace?
- We can try.

Oh, my! The transmissions
went worldwide.

Yes, but the trace lines
are converging at..

[Jonny]
'North Pole.'

The North Pole's
magnetic field interferes

with all radio transmissions.

Makes it hard to pinpoint
on an exact location.

'But up there is where
we'll find him.'

Looks like we maybe in for some
radical shredding, Jess.

[dramatic music]

[soft music]

[laughter]

[dramatic music]

[dog panting]

Do you know how lucky we are?

The aurora borealis goes
through a seven year cycle

and we're seeing it
right at it's peak.

'You don't know
what you're missing, Hadj.'

On the other hand,
who knows what we're missing.

'Who knows what's
going on in there

'when Hadji is meditating?'

'Say, pop. What exactly
causes the aurora borealis?'

The Earth's magnetic field.

Solar particles orbit around
the Earth in an oval shape

coming closest
to the Earth at the poles.

[Jessie]
'And when the
highly-charged molecules'

enter the Earth's atmosphere,
abracadabra.

The northern lights, also known
as the aurora borealis.

- 'Right?'
- Right.

You're sure our kids
weren't switched at birth?

- Hey, I heard that.
- 'Ha ha ha.'

Ezekiel Rage
is a loose cannon, Torgeson.

Locate and terminate him.

- But, sir--
- No buts, Torgeson.

Unless you're looking
for an earlier retirement.

- Sir.
- One other thing.

Ezekiel Rage stole a certain
item from Cascade Research.

- Item?
- 'Big Baby II.'

Big Baby II? That's
a thermonuclear device!

Just get it back!

[Jonny]
'We're not covering enough
ground like you're spittin'.'

- 'Maybe it's time to split up.'
- 'You're right.'

Yee-haw.

We'll set up a base camp.
Hadji will hold it down.

I want you to radio in
in exactly one hour.

vroom

If you see any sign
of Rage, don't rush.

Just make the call
and wait for us.

You got it!

vroom

We'll search by quadrants

and report in
every hour on the hour.

Right.

[engine revving]

Wait a minute!

Tracks on the snow.
Over to the right.

- A snowmobile?
- Uh-uh.

Looks like
a chopper landed here.

[machine g*n firing]

[all]
Hold it!

The Book of Rage says

"Those that seek to hunt
shall they themselves

become the hunted."

- You were supposed to be dead.
- No. I live.

No thanks to you
and the good Dr. Quest.

[intense music]

[engine revving]

[screaming]

[gasps]

[screaming]

[whimpering]

[Jonny]
Unh!

[rumbling]

[engine revving]

[screaming]

'Whoa!'

[whimpering]

[Jonny]
'Are you okay?'

What do you think
this place is?

Ezekiel Rage's base maybe.
Come on, let's check it out.

Let me check with Hadji first,
tell him what we found.

Hadji.

'Jessie to Hadji,
do you read?'

'Jessie to Hadji,
do you read?'

[radio static]

Jonny? Jessie?
Dr. Quest? Race?

[radio static]

I guess, we're on our own.

And there's no way we're gonna
get out the way we came in.

'Might as well
go forward, right?'

Right.

[indistinct chatter]

[intense music]

[dog barking]

[both gasp]

- Intruders
- Get them.

Let's kick it!

[engine revving]

[machine g*ns firing]

[gasps]

[both screaming]

[continue screaming]

[music continues]

[footsteps approaching]

How do you do, sir?
Perhaps you can help me.

My friends have gone missing
and the magnetic forces

of this place appear to have
severed all radio connections.

You have spoken
with the ancestors?

Excuse me?

[laughter]

The children are
playing a fine game.

You see them, too?

The surprise is that
you see them

not that I see them.

You are right, sir.
Forgive me.

[laughter]

The sky is a great dome
in which there is a hole.

'On nights like these,
those who live in the heavens'

light torches to guide the feet
of the spirits of those

who must pass
from Earth to the heavens.

This is the light,
you call the Aurora.

Only the spirits of those who
have passed before their time

'the children, travel
on nights as brilliant as this.'

Though sometimes
when the lights are brilliant

this is a warning
from the heavens.

[Hadji]
'A warning?'

[male #4]
'Warning of a great w*r to come
or of disease and death.'

A warning that the spirits of
the heavens may intervene

to put our world to rights.

Jessie. Jonny!

Excuse me, sir. Sir?

- Hadji!
- Am I glad to see you!

I suppose you did not
notice an old Eskimo anywhere?

An old Eskimo? You've been
meditating too much, Hadji.

Oh, that's a contradiction
in terms, my friend--

Hey, never mind that.
Rage has dad and Race.

You let two children escape?

No matter. We will simply
advance the day of retribution.

Behold. Big Baby II.

'The most powerful
thermouclear device'

in the world.

Nothing like a hydrogen b*mb
to ruin your day.

My disciples have been busy
building copies of Big Baby II.

And when Big Baby II goes..
Boom!

All the other devices
will blow together.

The Polar ice cap will melt.

And a great flood shall
engulf the heretics

the murderers
of innocent children!

Throw these heretics
in with Big Baby.

They'll have a box-seat view
of the end of the world.

Ezekiel.
Think about what you're doing.

Millions of innocent
people will die.

It was the k*lling
of innocents

your wife and your daughter
that lead to all this.

Vengeance requires casualties.

Even the souls
of the innocent

so sayeth
the Book Of Rage.

'And I will have my vengeance.'

[beeping]

We go in two minutes, Hadj.

Now would be good time
for guidance

from the aurora borealis.

[Jessie]
'Daddy. Are you there?'

[all gasp]

Jessie, don't do it.
Please don't do it.

[all screaming]

- Carla?
- Daddy.

Carla. Is that you?

- It's me!
- Wait!

- Daddy!
- Carla? Abby?

What are you two doing here?

We flew down from Miami
to join you for the fiesta.

- Surprised?
- Floored!

Uh, but you're a little late.

My business here
in Panagua is over.

Oh, well, that's a relief.

Then we can enjoy
the fiesta together.

Yes. Come on, daddy.

'Listen, munchkin.
It's, uh, it's too crowded.'

Why don't we all
go back to the hotel

have a quiet
game of Bingo?

- But I wanna see the skeletons.
- Carla, wait!

Ezek, what's wrong?

[fiesta music]

Let's go.

'There are even scarier
skeletons back at the hotel.'

- Really?
- Would I lie to you?

[all screaming]

[gasps]

Hmm.

That's him!

Carla, run. Run!

[all exclaiming]

[engine starts]

[tires screeching]

Don't tell me.

'Your company sold
the Panaguan government'

'some defective
computer equipment?'

[Ezekiel]
'I'm afraid, computer
sales is just a cover act.'

'I actually work
for the government.'

[intense music]

- You mean--
- Daddy's a spy. Right, daddy?

Well, uh,
you're right, Carla.

Uh, daddy's a spy. Now,
uh, how was school today?

'Don't look at me like that,
Abby. I was gonna tell you.'

'I was just waiting
for the right time.'

Falcon. This is Raven. I need
backup and I need it now!

'Repeat. This is Raven.
I need backup.'

Ezek. What's your status?

The guy is horsemeat. He's got
the Panaguan army on his tail.

What are we waiting for?
Let's get him out of there.

Not without orders to intervene.
Direct orders from the Pentagon.

[machine g*n firing]

Falcon. Come in. Don't fly
south on me now, guys.

I need help. Falcon. I've got
hatchlings with me. Do you copy?

I'll get us out of this.
Now, have some faith.

[machine g*n firing]

[male #5]
'You heard me right, Falcon.
Do not attempt to intervene.'

This country cannot afford an
international incident there.

- 'But, sir--'
- 'I repeat, boy.'

[male #5]
'The Raven is on his own.'

[Ezekiel]
'Falcon. I've got
hatchlings in the nest.'

If anything happens
to them, I swear

there'll be
no place you can hide.

I'll hunt you down like dogs.

[expl*si*n]

Daddy.

Oh, baby,
I thought I lost you.

It's a trick, Ezekiel.
That's not your daughter.

Be not blind to the truth,
so sayeth the Book Of Rage.

Oh, you've no idea
how much I've missed you.

These people are not
your enemies, daddy.

- Free them.
- We can't let her do this.

We got a choice?

They're friends.
They can help us.

- We must let them go.
- You're right, baby.

No, Ezekiel.
Don't let them deceive you.

[screaming]
Get them!

[machine g*ns firing]

You're busted, pal.

[expl*si*n]

[Race]
'Protect yourselves.'

- Bannon? Race Bannon?
- Torgeson.

What in Sam hell
are you doing here?

Same as you, I expect.

Except that I'm
on official business

and you're still
a freelance pain in the neck!

Could you two
suspend the formalities

while we see if we can
neutralize this device

and maybe save the world?

[beeping]

Yes!

[Ezekiel]
'The flight is not
to the swift.'

Righteousness shall prevail.

I will take my vengeance.

'So it is written
in the Book Of Rage.'

[Torgeson]
It hurts to say it,
but thanks, Bannon.

I think you saved my pension.

Ah, I'm not
the one to thank, Torges.

These are
the real special forces.

Without them we'd all
be atomic particles by now.

You were awesome, Jess.

But I still don't understand
why Ezekiel bought the story.

I mean, you got him
hook, line and sinker.

He really did
see you as Carla.

It was the aurora borealis.

An unlikely explanation
and one which I very much doubt

you literal types would believe.

So perhaps I
should just say that

there are more things in heaven
and Earth than I dreamed of

'in your philosophy.'
