Christopher sneaks out the back of the shack while his friend answers the door and tries to put off the MNU team. Wikus enters the shack expecting to find another weapons cache, but to his shock, finds Christopher’s equipment, which baffles him. As he is searching for weapons, he finds the hastily hidden cylinder and as he examines it the top opens and some of the fluid within sprays him in the face. He begins coughing and hurriedly wiping his face and orders the cameraman to turn off the camera and tells him to delete the footage of him being exposed to the chemical. When the filming resumes, he makes a show of sealing the cylinder up in an evidence bag for future testing. He then goes out where the security team has Christopher’s friend in custody and begins questioning him. The alien panics and attacks throwing the security guard into the wall of the shack and hurling Wikus away and injuring his left arm. The mercenary team is called in and their leader almost gleefully kills the alien, saying he loves watching them die.
