Short filmTranscript
00:00that day I had no idea what kind of hell we were heading into we humans thinking
00:15we were so smart ended up unleashing our own worst nightmares at the beginning
00:20it was all about making the world but before we knew it things spun out of
00:27control mistakes were made and you've seen how it all went down from there
00:57oh
01:04oh
01:08you leaving what's wrong nothing just if we could pretend that didn't happen that would be great
01:36did i do something wrong i'll see ya see ya
01:42you better have a really good excuse for calling me non-stop on a weekend i know but it's up to you to decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy prank i thought you might want to come down and see this
02:04what
02:08what
02:18what
02:19what
02:20what
02:21what
02:23The homeowners have been deceased for almost two years, and the house has been vacant ever since.
02:44Last night, a passerby called the police saying they heard some creepy banging and screaming
02:49from inside the house. When the police got here, they found the back door wide open, like busted
02:54out from the inside. When we got here, there's nothing but this.
02:58Are we sure they're all dead?
03:01From a medical perspective, yes.
03:04Well, what is this Morse code thing, was that telling us?
03:07That's an AUG. It's measuring the brain activity of the corpses.
03:11The brain activity?
03:13Yeah, that's fascinating, actually.
03:15Brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death. It actually can last up to 72 hours.
03:20Okay, so you're saying they died within the last three days?
03:24Well, we need a little bit of time to confirm that.
03:29And the liquids, what are these?
03:32Well, those are all about keeping the bodies fresh.
03:35Keeping a moniker mode of brain activity going on.
03:39So you're saying the bodies are being kept here by someone?
03:43Looks like. My question is why?
03:46Maybe for some bio experiments or, I don't know, black market organ trading or something.
03:52We might need to consult someone to see what's really going on here.
03:56You know, I'm more concerned about who they are and how they died.
03:59Well, we're on it.
04:02What is it?
04:04What is it?
04:09Is this bed empty the whole time?
04:12Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:14Don't bother.
04:30The community is still waiting on repairs from the hurricane.
04:32That was two months ago.
04:34Welcome to the efficiency of the city and poor neighborhoods.
04:37We should know that.
04:39You think we should leave a few officers here to stick up the place for a few days?
04:43That's your call, but I think it's clearly abandoned.
04:47Looks like we have a big problem.
04:49And it's not so abandoned after all.
04:51Low 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
04:56The activity of the sample significantly increases.
05:00Professor, are we starting the live experiment today?
05:03No, I don't think it's a good time.
05:06But according to our agreement with Morel Biotech, we need to assess the sample's cold intolerance as soon as possible.
05:13Listen, I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
05:18Well, um, they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up, right?
05:24The first round of live experiments marked out all of our test subjects.
05:28Not one, not two.
05:31All of them.
05:33Don't you think we should tread a little carefully?
05:35I think, uh, mice don't have bills to pay or loans to settle.
05:40Once you figure out it's parasitic mode, then we'll give the experiment another shot.
05:44What if they pull their funding because of it?
05:47They won't.
05:48They need these answers.
05:49Just like you said.
06:01He's been dead for several days.
06:03Okay, so why no signs of decomposition?
06:06That's because of those things.
06:08Take a look at this.
06:11It's likely he died from crossfire.
06:13Okay, why are we picking up brainwaves, then, of a guy that's been dead for several days?
06:17Not sure.
06:18Is it possible he's still alive?
06:22Yep.
06:23There's a doornail.
06:24Seriously, George.
06:25What?
06:26Oh, come on.
06:27That was awesome, and you know it.
06:29Roger's expecting a report first thing in the morning.
06:34Yeah, I'm gonna get to it later.
06:36I need a break.
06:37Wanna get a drink?
06:38Uh, my son just called.
06:40And you know this job's already ruining my marriage.
06:42And you want me to go home smelling like a bar?
06:44Okay, my bad. I'm sorry.
06:45It's okay.
06:46You just behave yourself.
06:47Don't I always?
06:48Yeah.
06:49Another one?
06:50Yeah.
06:51Why not?
06:52Drinking a loom tonight?
06:53Slumming it in police bars now I see.
06:54What can I get for you?
06:55I'll have what he's at me.
06:56So, what are you doing here?
06:57Sounded like you had a pretty big case to run off to this morning.
06:58Yeah, I just had a really stressful day and needed to blow off some steam.
06:59Oh.
07:00Oh.
07:01Would you like some help with that?
07:26Would you like some help with that?
07:56No! No! No! No! No!
07:58No! No! No!
08:00My baby boy!
08:10So!
08:12You gonna give me the keys to let me go? Officer?
08:14Hmm. It's Detective.
08:16Oh, alright. Detective.
08:18Keys?
08:20Who's this?
08:22That is my mother
08:24and my little brother.
08:26Oh, he's adorable.
08:28Yeah. He's 12.
08:30His name's Mickey.
08:34Poor interrogations, Detective.
08:36I think the real interrogation
08:38is actually about to start.
08:40If you can handle it.
08:42I think I need a good shot.
08:54You're telling me that I got dead bodies with brainwaves
09:08that we can't even identify?
09:10I'm sorry, sir. Look, we tapped into the national database
09:12and we've got nothing to tell us who they are.
09:14No IDs, no medical records, nothing.
09:16Just some marks on their arms, or we're assuming
09:18are track marks from drug use.
09:20We gotta keep quiet about this kind of thing,
09:22okay, until we don't want it.
09:24You wouldn't be surprised how something like this
09:26can affect a vote in this town, and the election
09:28is next month.
09:30Gotta be smart about how we handle this.
09:34Whoa. What you got there?
09:38What is that?
09:40What you got there, boy?
09:42What in the world?
09:46Lord knows what this place will become
09:48if Jay Spencer got the election.
09:50Sir, I need to take this.
09:52Yes?
09:54Where?
09:56Okay.
09:58What now?
10:00Ah, they found two new bodies.
10:02What? Fresh ones.
10:04Where? Down by the lake.
10:06Oh, well, are you coming?
10:18Looks like it rained pretty hard down here.
10:20It's gonna be difficult to find any
10:22prints or tracks.
10:30That is my mother.
10:32Is this your mother?
10:34Damn it, George.
10:36I know these two.
10:38I was just a kid.
10:40Man, I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:42This is gonna be really hard, but...
10:44I need you to leave the room for a bit, so I can...
10:46I just might be poor.
10:48Come with me, okay?
10:50Go with me, okay?
10:52I need this wrapped up now, alright?
10:54The election is coming up.
10:56People are getting nervous.
10:58With this clear fire coming in, you know?
11:00It's expected to drop below 32 degrees in the next few days.
11:02Make sure to bottle up.
11:04No drugs, no toxins.
11:06Victims were bitten.
11:07Bitten by what?
11:08I know.
11:09Albert thinks it could be gorillas.
11:10You're kidding, right?
11:11A gorilla?
11:12Maybe you want to escape from the zoo.
11:14Yeah, okay.
11:15What do you think?
11:17I have no idea.
11:19I can't get any idea.
11:20I can't get any idea.
11:21I can't get any idea.
11:22I can't get any idea.
11:23I can't get any idea.
11:24No drugs, no toxins.
11:26Victims were bitten.
11:28Bitten by what?
11:29I know.
11:30Albert thinks it could be gorillas.
11:32You're kidding, right?
11:33A gorilla?
11:34Maybe you want to escape from the zoo.
11:35Yeah, okay.
11:37Yeah, okay.
11:42What do you think?
11:44You know, I'm gonna be back in a little bit.
11:46What? But Hodge is expecting us for a meeting.
11:49You got this, you got this.
11:51I got this.
12:07I'm a little tired to talk about it.
12:24I'm gonna be back in a bit.
12:29Oh
12:48Last item has flag
12:59Hello? Is anyone there?
13:18Is anyone there?
13:29So you knew him?
13:36Oof. I'll never forget Christmas morning.
13:39Stepping outside the back of the house and seeing old Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:44Frostbite.
13:45Mmm. No. Dead. Beyond dead.
13:50Must have fell asleep drunk in the dish the night before.
13:54God, it snowed all night the night before.
13:56Took me two hours just to chip him out of the ice.
13:59So if he died last Christmas, how is he here on this table?
14:03It's more your department, detective.
14:05I'll get you to it.
14:07Look.
14:08Hey.
14:09Hey.
14:10I think I found your gorilla.
14:15I see. All right. Thanks, buddy.
14:18They're fake plates.
14:20You can't trace anything.
14:22Gosh, you left some men there.
14:24No, it's my fault. I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:32Oh, yeah, boys.
14:34This is it.
14:35This is it?
14:37Yeah. That's what I said. This is it.
14:40It's very good, right?
14:41You say so, man.
14:43It's freezing.
14:44Jump's gonna freeze off in here.
14:45No.
14:46It's gonna be an asthma.
14:47Superman doesn't have asthma.
14:48Hey, Superman.
14:49Text the phone number and see where she is.
14:51Hey, guys.
14:52I think you're sucking in the water.
14:53Are you sure?
14:54Last Christmas?
14:55I checked the records.
14:56No mistake.
14:57We're sure about one.
14:58I bet the others are connected too.
14:59Tell me about this other case.
15:00You can see the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:01The killer was, uh, what'd you call it?
15:02A gorilla?
15:03What, they steal this banana?
15:05What?
15:06They steal this banana?
15:07Oh, yeah.
15:08Oh, yeah.
15:09I'm gonna go ahead and see where she is.
15:10I'm gonna go ahead and see where she is.
15:11Hey, guys.
15:12I think you're sucking in the water.
15:13Are you sure?
15:14Last Christmas?
15:15I checked the records.
15:16No mistake.
15:17We're sure about one.
15:18I bet the others are connected too.
15:20Tell me about this other case.
15:22You can see the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:25The killer was, uh, what'd you call it, a...
15:27A gorilla?
15:29What, they steal this banana?
15:31I think the cases might be linked.
15:34How so?
15:36So, at the first scene, there was that bed that was empty.
15:39You know, I think there was someone there before.
15:41But somehow they got up.
15:43They got away.
15:46And started killing people.
15:48I mean, of course, it's just a theory.
15:53Yeah, yeah, well, good thing it's just a theory.
15:55What am I supposed to do if it's true, huh?
15:57Call some ghostbusters?
15:59Hey, I'm sure whatever...
16:01Or whoever this is, they are human.
16:04Ghosts can't kill people.
16:06Right?
16:07Right.
16:08Right.
16:09Right?
16:10Yeah.
16:11Y'all, uh...
16:12Y'all go out and find whoever...
16:13Or, uh...
16:14Whatever.
16:15Hit this.
16:16You think we should call the police?
16:17Leave it here.
16:18Call the cops when I murder her.
16:19But after we shoot...
16:20This dump is what you chose to film?
16:33Hey.
16:34Oh.
16:35I'm sorry.
16:36No, no problem.
16:37Why don't you go home?
16:38No, no.
16:39I'd like to keep working.
16:40Take a look at this.
16:41I discovered that they have an acute sensitivity to temperature.
16:42Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
16:43The sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
16:44But, when it's warmer, the sample becomes more active.
16:45Upon the discovery of a host body, it lays eggs like crazy, kills the host and then goes
16:49through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
16:50Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and eventually
17:05taking over the host body's internal and then goes through a sort of metamorphosis of
17:11sorts.
17:12Oh, so good.
17:13Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and eventually
17:18eventually taking over the host body's entire central nervous system.
17:21Oh my god.
17:23What does that have to do with temperature?
17:26Well, I'm not exactly sure yet.
17:28I noticed too that when submerged in water for too long,
17:31the activities decreased there too.
17:33But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments,
17:37they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:42Ew, gross. Get off me.
17:44That was great, guys.
17:46Oh man, I'm out of here.
17:47I got another gig.
17:48Another film?
17:49No, a bachelorette party.
17:51What the hell?
17:52What's wrong?
17:53That thing, it moves.
17:54Its eye-fair opens.
17:57Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
18:05Morrell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice.
18:08Mm-hmm.
18:09They're lying.
18:11There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica
18:14with its sample still intact.
18:16They definitely found a host body.
18:20They never should have brought it out of Antarctica.
18:23Antarctica is melting, Professor.
18:24We're going to come into contact with it anyway.
18:27They just want us to fix the sample's cold sensitivity.
18:29Well, I need to make sure it's safe first, don't I?
18:31The sample is in Petri dishes.
18:35That is as safe as it gets.
18:38I'm sorry about your family.
18:41Maybe you need a break.
18:45Woo!
18:45I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
18:53Guys?
18:54Get off me!
19:18Hello?
19:30Hey, hold on.
19:37Holy hell.
19:37I just killed Superman.
19:48Weird, right?
19:49What the hell happened?
19:51Apparently, a guy in the blue speedo just dashed out into the road.
19:55Fan guy ran him over.
19:56What's weird, then?
19:59Looks like he came from that house.
20:02You won't believe what's inside.
20:09Check it out.
20:11Got the whole superhero crew.
20:12Same kind of marks the mother and son hit.
20:22And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:33It was crazy.
20:34We found this one floating in the water.
20:36You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:37I think so.
20:39Same outfit.
20:40Even got the same gown.
20:41I'd like to take this one back.
20:47Compared to the samples that we already have.
20:50You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:53All right, Albert.
20:54It's yours.
21:00That's a monster show.
21:08Wow.
21:09Yeah, a whole superhero orgy.
21:12But guess who was here but wasn't in the film.
21:14You watched the whole thing, didn't you?
21:18It's not important.
21:20Guess who?
21:21Superman.
21:22Uh-huh.
21:23Yeah, I bet one of these guys is a biting fetish.
21:26Yeah, okay.
21:27Then we need to compare traces.
21:28If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:30Let's hope so.
21:31Play some music.
21:51Play some music.
21:51Let's go.
21:53Oh
22:23I
22:36Just wanted to restore it as much as possible and any useful information
22:42But good news the bite wounds including the lethal ones well, they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car
22:49I
22:51Knew it case closed. No way. I don't understand. How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
23:00I ran into that guy in that house remember yeah, was he wearing a red speedo?
23:05But he was also more filled out than your speedo, right? Maybe they have another accomplice
23:11Maybe
23:14I need a hot shower hot date after today
23:19Go ahead. I'll write the report. You sure go on. Oh, and tell your hot date. I'm sorry to hear about this
23:30Partners know things
23:49I'm so sorry about your family
24:06I'm so sorry about your family
24:10Please.
24:13Hey, man.
24:14Hey, man.
24:17I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:20I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if it could work on the experiment tonight.
24:24Uh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:27Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:31I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:34I'll see you.
24:40Hi, George.
24:41We found the gray sedan.
24:42Yeah.
24:43Plates have been changed, but it's the one.
24:45Just send me the address.
24:46I'll be right there.
24:47Yeah.
24:48I'm so sorry.
24:49No, it's fine.
24:50Yeah.
24:51Seriously.
24:56What have we got?
24:57Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the tool kit.
25:01It belonged to this guy.
25:03He served a year in prison for armed robbery, but that's about it.
25:07He could be our guy.
25:08What else do we know about him?
25:09Absolutely nothing.
25:10I saw another ghost.
25:11Thanks.
25:12Uh, let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:16I don't know.
25:17Hands behind your head.
25:18Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:19Journalist.
25:20So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:21Why were you at that house?
25:22Why were you at that house?
25:23I'm not talking without my lawyer.
25:24What do we know about her?
25:25Why were you at that house?
25:30Oh, I don't know.
25:32Hands behind your head.
25:38Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:41Journalist.
25:43So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:49Why were you at that house?
25:52I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:00Rheons! No way!
26:05This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:08Rheons cause mutations in the central nervous system,
26:11while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:15They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:20You're a genius.
26:22We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:27That's exactly what our sponsor wanted.
26:29But they're prions.
26:31It's going to be more difficult for them to spread if they become cold resistant.
26:39We can't hand them over until the risks are assessed.
26:42We can't let things get out of control.
26:49Are you going to cooperate or what?
26:51Well, then I can assure you, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
27:02Colin.
27:05Yeah, you're dating.
27:06He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:09If you didn't know.
27:10Go on.
27:11Go on.
27:12Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement.
27:15If you find something very interesting.
27:23Are you going to follow his advice?
27:25You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses.
27:27So yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:30Alright, you go find Colin.
27:32Okay.
27:33You can find a way to make him talk.
27:38I don't like this.
27:39It's dangerous.
27:41I can just do everything here myself.
27:42No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
27:45There's too much research to do to figure out how this happened.
27:49We should have given him Frank instead.
27:50I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:52Nah.
27:53This one is by far the bigger mystery.
27:55Let's go.
28:09Yes.
28:10Yes ma'am.
28:11I promise you if re-elected I will make sure that happens.
28:14I only want what's best for the citizens and I will always do what it takes to keep our town safe.
28:19As this cold press moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week and we'll be getting high here.
28:31Here.
28:32Take this.
28:33You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:35Thanks.
28:36You know, you could have told me what was going on and maybe had some faith in my multiple PhDs to help you figure this out.
28:44I know.
28:45I actually...
28:49Tell me about her.
28:52She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
28:58How'd you meet her?
29:00About two years ago she started with the team and then within two months she secured a targeted research sponsorship from Morel Biotech.
29:08Morel Biotech?
29:10Yes.
29:11Why?
29:12If I looked into this ship, it's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morel Biotech.
29:17Hmm.
29:21The research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples brought back from Antarctica.
29:27Okay, her and I need to have a conversation.
29:31Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:32Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:35Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll come.
29:38You know, she did say something weird earlier.
29:42Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
29:46Oh, that's crazy.
29:47Well, I've never, uh, done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:57Yeah.
29:59Oh my god! What's going on?!
30:01I thought he was dead!
30:03Hey, what are you doing?!
30:05Hey!
30:07Hey!
30:10Oh my god!
30:14What the f*** was that?
30:15I don't know.
30:18Hello? Professor?
30:21Hello?
30:23Hey! What happened?!
30:32Hey!
30:35How are you?
30:37Regan, we need to get out of here.
30:40Don't come any closer!
30:42Ah!
30:44Is it dead?
30:46It's dead already!
30:48It's gone.
30:50It's gone.
30:55Oh my God!
31:00Oh my god.
31:02911, please record your message.
31:04Oh!
31:05What the hell happened in there?!
31:06Oh my god.
31:08Wait a minute.
31:09Wait a minute. How is this possible? These were our samples.
31:12What samples?
31:13The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:16Wait, what Antarctic samples?
31:17I'll explain later.
31:18Listen, anyone who has contact, especially blood contact, is going to turn into one of them.
31:24Oh my god. So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:31You hear that?
31:35What's...
31:39What is this?
31:49Let's go, go, go, go!
32:00Oh my god!
32:02How are we going to get out of here?
32:03We can't leave!
32:04Molly!
32:05Why?
32:06We can't leave!
32:07We can't leave!
32:08We can't leave!
32:09We won't be can take this!
32:18You think this is the reason to help?
32:27Irene?
32:28It sounded like you need a help!
32:38What do you want to know?
32:40Everything!
32:42Four years ago, Victory, the research vessel of Morrell Biotech, started its two year voyage in Antarctica.
32:50That's my twin sister.
32:51But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
32:53It was found, uh, tied to a dock in Chile.
32:54Why Chile?
32:55They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died.
32:56Including my sister.
32:57Sorry, but why would they try to hide it?
32:59Because they wanted people to believe that Victory was still in service.
33:01What happened to it after that?
33:02I found it tied to a dry dock in Savannah, and what I saw in there was the closest thing to
33:22It was like a massacre had taken place inside, except there were no bodies of the missing crew.
33:35I kept moving in and there it was. It was a large room and when I pulled the curtain,
33:43they opened the gate to hell.
33:44When I pulled the curtain, they opened the gate to hell.
34:14I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:22So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:27These samples are clearly weaponized.
34:31Wait, what about this guy?
34:37His brother was a microbiologist on victory.
34:40Edgar, we investigated the ship together.
34:42Wait, so he created those things in his basement?
34:45He upgraded the sample?
34:47There's more?
34:48You know, I bet he knows more than he's letting on about all of this,
34:51especially those corpses in the basement.
34:53I'm gonna head back to the police station.
34:55I'll go with you.
34:55No, I need you to stay here and secure this place until the officers come.
34:58Can you do that?
35:00Look, and you know what, now that we know what we're dealing with,
35:02maybe you could do some more work and come up with a solution.
35:04Be safe.
35:05And you come with me, I need your help.
35:07Go.
35:12What's up, Albert?
35:25What do you mean, gone?
35:28I'm on my way.
35:29I'm on my way.
35:40Albert?
35:40No, okay, you gotta deal with them.
35:56It's hard to find these people.
36:04Lock it down, people!
36:05He still isn't picking up.
36:10Just keep trying!
36:12Drop your weapons and come out with your end up!
36:1713.
36:21I still don't understand, though.
36:22The corpses in the basement seemed fine.
36:25Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:26I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
36:37Is he answering?
36:37I would just not like them to not answer.
36:39Damn it!
36:42I don't take your weapons!
36:51How is this possible?
36:53It's exactly the same.
36:56Where'd they go?
37:06Damn it.
37:06Get on the ground!
37:07Hands up!
37:08It's not Rethink!
37:09It's not me!
37:22Edgar's gone.
37:23It looks like they came from down this way.
37:26There's an elevator.
37:29Yeah, that's it.
37:31Those lead to the morgue.
37:32It's not Rethink!
37:51Why are you not answering your phone?
37:52No!
38:08No!
38:08No, baby!
38:13You need to get out of here!
38:14What do you think this goes?
38:42I don't know.
38:43I don't think anything's going to happen.
38:59I need to call the National Guard.
39:06What?
39:09Who exactly do you work for?
39:12Who exactly do you work?
39:13Who exactly do you work for?
39:14Who exactly do you work for?
39:21This is just the beginning.
39:26This is just the beginning.
39:56This is just the beginning.
40:26This is just the beginning.
