(Underground at the Initiative. Oz-wolf is in a cage, growling and trying to get out. Riley, Forrest, soldiers with guns, and scientists in white coats are watching. Another scientist approaches.)

FORREST: What's the word, Doc? Is this the animal that took apart our men?

DOC 1: We don't know yet, soldier.

RILEY: What's the holdup? I thought Graham gave you a full description.

DOC 1: The holdup is that he described characteristics present in over 40 known varieties of demon. So we're cross-checking DNA evidence - hair, fibers-

RILEY: (impatient) And how long is that gonna take?

DOC 1: (annoyed) I have no idea.

RILEY: I don't need a bunch of tests to know that this thing's a killer.

(Takes out his gun and points it at Oz. Suddenly Oz stops growling and morphs back into his human self. Riley lowers his gun and steps back.)
