Once in their room, Derek applies menthol to his upper lip, because apparently the tentacle smells bad. Chloe makes a fart joke. There's always room for fart jokes, right? Derek opens the box to show the tentacle to the camera. Chloe offers some explanations as to how it could all still be a hoax. Derek sees the black Suburban outside their room, so he turns out the lights so the occupants of the Suburban can't see inside. In the background, we see the tentacle climb out of the box. When they realize that the tentacle is on the loose, Chloe and Jason jump up on the bed like girls (well, I guess Chloe is a girl. The jury's still out on Jason) while Derek looks for it. Some men in black get out of the Suburban and pull out a lock pick to attempt to get into the motel room. The gang hears the doorknob rattling, but just then, the tentacle wraps around Chloe's leg. There's a funny scene of Chloe hopping across the room with the tentacle on her leg, because after wrapping around her calf, there is only about two inches sticking out. It's not like it's attached to anything. Derek finally pulls it off, and the tentacle flies across the room and sticks to the door like a Creepy Crawler. Another car pulls up outside, and shotgun blasts are heard, which scare away the men in black. The door is kicked in, and Falcon is standing there with a shotgun. He tells the gang, "If you want to live, come with me." They do, so they do. He is the owner of the RV. As they drive away, we see the guy from the black Suburban.
Falcon and the gang are having a campfire outside Falcon's RV. Falcon thought they were with De Santo, a multinational conglomerate. Derek asks whether De Santo wants to kill them, and why. Falcon doesn't really answer, and Derek surmises that De Santo is behind the cattle mutilations. Falcon explains that De Santo made the Desert Squid; he knows, because he was there. Falcon used to work for De Santo when he was younger, disposing of "certain waste products in the desert." We see a flashback of Falcon dumping a crate into a hole in the ground. Falcon narrates that one time he heard something moving in the crate, so he pried it open to check. Inside, he found a body bag that was still moving, and he assumed it was "some sort of zombie corpse." ["I think we've all been there." -- Wing Chun] Falcon dumped the crate, took off, quit his job, and "went underground." Derek asks exactly what De Santo is up to, and Falcon admits that he doesn't know exactly, but it's "got to be something bad." Derek asks what was in the body bag, and Falcon doesn't really know that either. Derek asks why, if the incident happened twenty years ago, the cattle mutilations are just happening now. Falcon says he doesn't have all the answers (clearly!), but implores Derek to put his story on the website so that they can get more information.
