Dr. Swanbeck
- Dr. Swanbeck: To be honest with you folks, never seen anything like this before.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: We'll take over the forensic work now, Doctor. If that's all right with you?
- Dr. Swanbeck: Hell, yes. Take over. I never did care too much for the sight of blood myself.
- [the uncover the corpses of two teenagers that were killed and mutilated]
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: It's a damn shame. There's some folks around town think some kids might've done this. Some satanic cult ritual thing or some other such nonsense.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: Uh... I'm starting with the male cadaver. Incision just below the temporomandibular joint at the neck extends in depth all the way to the hypoglossus muscle.
- Dr. Alexander McCabe: I'm sure that jugular incision was the initial point of contact. They went for the lethal attack.
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: Hey. Jimmy, I'd imagine nobody'd mind if you wanted to step outside and keep old Doc Swanbeck company.
- Jimmy Sands: Yeah. That's a good idea, Sheriff. You guys just... You just keep doin' what you're doin'.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: The external anterior jugulars have been severed down to the common carotid on the right side of the median. Shelia, I'm gonna need your confirmation now. By just looking at the neck wounds, this one here by the ear, I'd say we have a bite diameter of four centimeters and a circumference of, say, 13 centimeters.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: The Pteropodidae family. This is impossible. These bats only feed on fruit and nectar. This can't be.
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: Excuse me ma'am?
- Dr. Sheila Casper: This must be some kind of sick hoax.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: Well, unfortunately, we're fairly certain that this is not a hoax.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Wait a second. Are you sayin' some kind of bat did this?
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: I'm afraid so, Sheriff.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Well, then, there is something very wrong here, gentlemen, because this sort of thing is not supposed to happen. What's going on here? What is it you aren't telling me?
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: Though the total number of attacks may be higher, we've only been able to confirm these five for certain.
- Dr. Alexander McCabe: Yesterday was the first human encounter that we know of.
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: I'd say it was a hell of a lot more than just an encounter, Doctor.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: All the attacks were similar and occurred here in western Texas. All in the past six days.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Impossible.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: Dr. Casper?
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Bats do not kill people! Period! There must be some other explanation. One that has absolutely nothing to do with bats and therefore, nothing to do with me.
- Dr. Alexander McCabe: Ms. Casper. You're right, of course. But the bats that were talking about, they're very, uh, special.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Special? In what way?
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: Exactly what are we talkin' about here, Doctor?
- Dr. Alexander McCabe: Well, the two bats that escaped from my lab were brought from Indonesia. Their test subjects. The Pteropus Poliocephalus in question...
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Hold on a minute! These are flying foxes we're talking about?
- Jimmy Sands: Oh, no.
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: Yes.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: But those are among the most endangered species in the world.
- Jimmy Sands: Not to mention the ugliest and largest bats you ever wanna meet.
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: Let me get this straight. Are you tellin' me that you're responsible for the death of those two kids, Doctor? Is that it?
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: Look, Dr. McCabe sought our assistance at the CDC as soon as the bats escaped. Now we're here to stop these things before they can kill or contaminate others.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Contaminate? What were you guys experimenting with?
- Dr. Alexander McCabe: Well, let's just say it was, uh, virus based. I really can't discuss it, uh, any further. I'm sorry.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: So, um, we're here to help you find your infected guinea pigs, is that it?
- Dr. Tobe Hodge: And destroy them, if need be.
- Sheriff Emmett Kimsey: Oh, you can count on that.
- Dr. Sheila Casper: Look, I'll help you find them but I'm not gonna destroy them. And I'm not gonna let any of you destroy them either.
