Sarah and Kelly give chase on the motorcycle to a raptor with the key to the cage around its neck while Thorne and Levine follow the raptors in the Jeep. Sarah accelerates to give Kelly the best possible shot at the raptor—but Kelly keeps missing. They are down to their last shot; Kelly makes it count.

In the Jeep, Thorne struggles to stay up with the herd that is pulling the cage with Arby in it. They stop at a streambed before advancing into a clearing where they see in the darkness several low mounds. Levine recognizes raptor nests. The clearing is messy, strewn with carcasses. The mound contains some baby raptors and dozens of eggs. Where is the cage? Where is Arby? Thorne knows what he must do. He stops the Jeep, grabs a rifle, and prepares to look for the cage while off to the side most of raptors are busy devouring the carcass of Eddie Carr.

Thorne spots the cage but cannot tell whether Arby is alive. Not waiting to check, he lifts the cage and heads back to the Jeep. The raptors are alerted—and when Thorne guns the engine, they give chase. Levine quickly dispatches one raptor that manages to cling to the frame of the cage.
