The Technicians run for an idling Jeep. They sling the cases
into the rear of the vehicle which in turn accelerates away
hard, curving across the runway for another waiting plane.

extracted -- while still alive.
And then all hell breaks loose as the WOLF PACK descends:
DR. VANNACUTT manages to yank down a LEVER on the wall

who, once you get on a case...
...nothing can get you off it?
