Back at the lab, Dr. Rivers and Dr. Bledsoe discuss what has happened at the laboratory. Rivers admits that it was an accident, but he feels responsible for what happened. He says that he has always been fascinated by the idea of the "plunge" and that he always believed in the "serum formula" because it was not up to men to create life. Rivers says that they can't find the beach where they want to hide because the island has no air bags. He also says that the temple is on a volcano, and that the army was destroyed shortly after it was deemed unworthy. Rivers suggests that they go to the bridge, which is not a bridge, but a colony of "turtles" holding hands.
