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 it
00:20was all about making the world before we knew it things spun out of control
00:27mistakes were made and well you've seen how it all went down from there
00:57oh
00:59oh
01:01oh
01:03oh
01:05oh
01:07oh
01:09you leaving what's wrong nothing just if we could pretend that didn't happen that
01:36would be great did I do something wrong I'll see ya see ya you better have a really good
01:52I know but it's up to you to decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy
02:00prank I thought you might want to come down and see this
02:03what
02:17what
02:19what
02:21The homeowners have been deceased for almost two years and the house has been vacant ever
02:44since.
02:45Last night a passerby called the police saying they heard some creepy banging and screaming
02:49coming from inside the house.
02:50When the police got here they found the back door wide open like busted out from the inside.
02:55When we got here there was 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.
03:08It's measuring the brain activity of the corpses.
03:10The brain activity?
03:12Yeah that's fascinating actually.
03:14A brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death and actually can last up to 72
03:19hours.
03:20Okay so you're saying they died within the last three days?
03:24Well we need a little time to confirm that.
03:28And the liquids what are these?
03:31Well those are all about keeping the bodies fresh.
03:36Keeping a moniker more brain activity going on.
03:39So you're saying the bodies are being kept here by someone?
03:43Looks like.
03:44My question is why?
03:46Maybe for some bio experiments or I don't know black market organ trading or something.
03:51We might need to consult someone to see what's really going on here.
03:56You know I'm concerned about who they are and how they died.
03:59Well we're on it.
04:01What is it?
04:05Is this bed empty the whole time?
04:11Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:15I don't know.
04:16Don't bother.
04:17The 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.
04:36We should know that.
04:37You think we should leave a few officers here to stake up the place for a few days?
04:42That's your call but I think it's clearly abandoned.
04:45Looks like we have a big problem.
04:48And it's not so abandoned after all.
04:51Low 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
04:55The activity of the sample significantly increases.
04:59Professor, are we starting the life experiment today?
05:03No, I don't think it's a good time.
05:06But according to our agreement with Morell Biotech, we need to assess the samples cold intolerance
05:11as soon as possible.
05:12Listen, I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
05:17Well, um, they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up, right?
05:23The first round of live experiments marked out all of our test subjects.
05:27Got one, got two, all of them.
05:32Don't you think we should try it 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.
05:50He's been dead for several days.
06:03Okay, so why no signs of decomposition?
06:05That's because of those things.
06:09Take 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?
06:21Yep.
06:22There's a doornail.
06:24Seriously, George.
06:25What?
06:26Oh, come on.
06:27That was awesome and you know it.
06:32Roger'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.
06:45I'm sorry.
06:46It's okay.
06:47You just behave yourself.
06:48Don't I always?
06:49Yeah.
06:54Another one?
06:55Yeah, why not?
06:58Drinking a loom tonight?
07:09Slumming it in police bars, now I see.
07:13What are you doing here?
07:14You sounded like you had a pretty big case to run off to this morning.
07:17Yeah, I just had a really stressful day and needed to blow off some steam.
07:23Would you like some help with that?
07:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:55My baby boy.
08:06So, you're gonna give me the keys to let me go?
08:10Officer.
08:11Hm.
08:12It's Detective.
08:13Oh, yeah, alright, Detective.
08:16Keys?
08:17Who's this?
08:18That is my mother and my little brother.
08:22Oh, he's adorable.
08:24Yeah.
08:25He's 12.
08:26His name's Mickey.
08:31Poor interrogations, Detective.
08:33Yeah, I think the real interrogation is actually about to start.
08:36If you can handle it.
08:37I think I can give you a shot.
08:39You're telling me that I got dead bodies with brain waves that we can't even identify?
08:52I'm sorry, sir.
08:53Look, we tapped into the national database and we've got nothing to tell us who they are.
08:59No IDs, no meta records, nothing.
09:00Just some marks on their arms or we're assuming are track marks from drug use.
09:02God.
09:03We gotta keep quiet about this kind of thing, okay, until we know more.
09:06You wouldn't be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town and the
09:13election is next month.
09:14Gotta be smart about how we handle this.
09:15Whoa.
09:16What you...
09:17What you got there?
09:18What is that?
09:19What do you got there, boy?
09:20What in the world?
09:21What in the world?
09:22Lord knows what this place would become if Jay Spencer got the election.
09:26Sir, I need to take this.
09:28Yes?
09:29Yes?
09:30Yes?
09:31Yes?
09:32Yes?
09:33Yes?

09:56Where?
09:57Okay.
09:58What now?
09:59They found two new bodies.
10:00What?
10:01Fresh ones.
10:02Where?
10:03Down by the lake.
10:05Well are you coming?
10:14Looks like it rained pretty hard down here.
10:17It's gonna be difficult to find any prints or tracks.
10:20that is my mother
10:28damn it George
10:33I know these two
10:35I was just a kid
10:50man I'm so sorry for your loss
10:52this is going to be really hard
10:54I think you live alone for a bit
10:56so I can finish my report
10:58come with me okay
11:05I need this wrapped up now alright
11:07the election is coming up
11:09people are getting nervous
11:10no drugs
11:23no toxins
11:24victims were bitten
11:25bitten by what?
11:27I know Albert thinks it could be gorillas
11:30you're kidding right
11:31a gorilla?
11:32maybe you want to escape from the zoo
11:33yeah okay
11:35what do you think?
11:41you know I'm going to be back in a little bit
11:43what?
11:44but Hodge is expecting us for a meeting
11:46you got this
11:47you got this
11:48I got this
11:50I got this
11:53I got this
12:03I got this

12:08I got this
12:08I got this
12:10and today
12:11that's alright
12:11I don't know.
12:41I don't know.
13:11Is anyone there?
13:16So you knew him?
13:34I'll never forget Christmas morning, stepping outside the back of the house and seeing old Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:41Frostbite?
13:41No. Dead. Beyond dead. Must have fell asleep drunk in the dish the night before. God, it snowed all night the night before. Took me two hours just to chip him out of the ice.
13:55So if he died last Christmas, how is he here on this table?
14:00It's more your department, detective.
14:02I'll bet you'd see it.
14:03Hey.
14:05Hey.
14:06I think I found a gorilla.
14:12I see.
14:13Alright, thanks, buddy.
14:15They're fake plates.
14:17You can't trace anything.
14:19Gosh, you left some men there.
14:20No, it's my fault. I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:28Oh, yeah, boys. This is it.
14:32This is it?
14:33Yeah, that's what I'm saying. This is it.
14:37It's a perfect guy.
14:38You're si-so, man.
14:44Good to lie.
14:47It's freezing.
14:49Jump's gonna freeze off in here, man.
14:51You're gonna get asthma.
14:53Superman doesn't have asthma.
14:56Hey, Superman.
14:59Text the phone number and see where she is.
15:01Hey, guys.
15:02I think you're sucked into the water.
15:08Are you sure?
15:10Last Christmas?
15:11I checked the records.
15:12No mistake.
15:13We're sure about one.
15:15I bet the others are connected, too.
15:17Tell me about this other case.
15:19You can see the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:22The killer was, what'd you call it, a gorilla?
15:26What, they steal its banana?
15:27I think the cases might be linked.
15:32How so?
15:34So, at the first scene, there was that bed that was empty.
15:36Now, I think there was someone there before.
15:38But somehow they got up.
15:42They got away.
15:44And started killing people.
15:45I mean, of course, it's just a theory.
15:51Yeah, yeah, well, good thing it's just a theory.
15:53What am I supposed to do if it's true, huh?
15:54Call some ghostbusters?
15:56Hey, I'm sure whatever, or whoever this is, they are human.
16:01Ghosts can't kill people, right?
16:03Right.
16:04Right.
16:05Right?
16:06Yeah.
16:07All right, y'all, uh, y'all go out and find whoever, or whatever.
16:12Get this.
16:12You think we should call the police?
16:20Leave it here.
16:21Call the cops when I'm better.
16:23But after we shoot.
16:27This dump is what you chose to film?
16:34Hey.
16:36Oh.
16:36I'm sorry.
16:38No, no problem.
16:40Why don't you go home?
16:41No, no, I'd like to keep working.
16:44Take a look at this.
16:46I discovered that they have acute sensitivity to temperature.
16:51Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
16:55But when it's warmer, the sample becomes more active.
17:01Upon the discovery of a host body, it lays eggs like crazy, kills the host, and then goes
17:06through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:09Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and eventually
17:15taking over the host body's entire central nervous system.
17:18Oh, my God.
17:19What does that have to do with temperature?
17:23Well, I'm not exactly sure yet.
17:25I noticed, too, that when submerged in water for too long, the activities decrease there,
17:29too.
17:29But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments, they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:39Ew.
17:39Gross.
17:40Get off me.
17:41That was great, guys.
17:43Oh, man.
17:44I'm out of here.
17:44I got another gig.
17:45Another film?
17:46No.
17:46Bachelorette party.
17:48What the hell?
17:49It's wrong.
17:50That thing, it moves.
17:51It's either open.
17:52Morrell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice.
18:05Mm-hmm.
18:06They're lying.
18:08There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica with its sample still intact.
18:13They definitely found a host body.
18:17They never should have brought it out of Antarctica.
18:19Antarctica is melting, Professor.
18:21We're going to come into contact with it anyway.
18:24They just want us to fix the sample's cold sensitivity.
18:26Well, I need to make sure it's safe first, don't I?
18:30The sample is in petri dishes.
18:32That is as safe as it gets.
18:35I'm sorry about your family.
18:38Maybe you need a break.
18:42Woo!
18:45I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
18:49You guys?
19:13Get off me!
19:15Oh, fuck!
19:26Hello?
19:28Hey, oh, hold on.
19:33Holy hell.
19:35I just killed Superman.
19:45Weird, right?
19:47What the hell happened?
19:48Apparently, a guy in the blue Speedo just dashed out into the road.
19:52Fan guy ran him over.
19:54What's weird, then?
19:56Looks like he came from that house.
19:58You won't believe what's inside.
20:06Check it out.
20:08Got the whole superhero crew.
20:15Same kind of marks the mother and son hit.
20:19And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:30It was crazy.
20:31We found this one floating in the water.
20:33You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:35I think so.
20:36Same outfit.
20:37Even got the same gown.
20:40I'd like to take this one back.
20:42Compared to the samples that we already have.
20:47You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:50Alright, Albert.
20:51It's yours.
20:57I guess I'm out to show you.
21:05Wow.
21:06Yeah, whole superhero orgy.
21:08But guess who was here but wasn't in the film?
21:11You watched the whole thing, didn't you?
21:16It's not important.
21:17Guess who?
21:18Superman.
21:19Yeah, I bet one of these guys is a biting fetish.
21:23Yeah, okay.
21:24Then we need to compare traces.
21:25If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:27Let's hope so.
21:28Mm-hmm.
21:41Play some music.
21:47Play some music.
21:49clairvoyant music.
21:51meaning
22:02I don't know.
22:32I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:36And? Any useful information?
22:39Not good news. The bite wounds, including the lethal ones.
22:43Well, they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car.
22:47I knew it! Case closed.
22:51No, wait, I don't understand. How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
22:57I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
22:59Yeah. Was he wearing a red Speedo?
23:01No. But he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:05Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:08Maybe.
23:11Okay. I need a hot shower and a hot bath after today.
23:16Go ahead. I'll write the report.
23:18You sure?
23:19Go on.
23:20Oh, and tell your hot date. I'm sorry to hear about it.
23:26How'd you know?
23:27Partners know things.
23:29Oh, look.
23:30Oh, that's okay.
23:31You know what to say.
23:33Oh, I can't see the window.
23:34You know what to say.
23:43Oh, and see.
23:47I don't know what to say.
23:48Oh, it's good.
23:50Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:07Need to check some plates, please.
24:11Amen.
24:12Amen.
24:14I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:17I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if it could work on the experiment tonight.
24:22Uh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:25Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:29I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:31I'll see you.
24:37Hi, George.
24:38We found the gray sedan.
24:40Yeah.
24:40Plates have been changed, but it's the one.
24:43Send me the address. I'll be right there.
24:44Yeah.
24:45I'm so sorry.
24:46No, it's fine.
24:47Yeah.
24:47Seriously.
24:53What have we got?
24:55Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the toolkit.
24:59It belonged to this guy.
25:01He served a year in prison for armed robbery, but that's about it.
25:04He could be our guy.
25:05What else do we know about him?
25:07Absolutely nothing.
25:08Saw another boat.
25:09Thanks.
25:10Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:12Oh, I don't know.
25:30Hands behind your head.
25:31Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:39Journalist.
25:40So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:42Why were you at that house?
25:49I'm not talking without my lawyer.
25:51Listen.
25:52Rheons.
26:00Rheons.
26:01No way.
26:03This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:06Rheons cause mutations in the central nervous system, while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem
26:10and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:12They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:18You're a genius.
26:20We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:25That's exactly what our sponsor wanted.
26:27But they're prions.
26:29It's going to be more difficult for them to spread if they become cold resistant.
26:37We can't hand them over until the risks are assessed.
26:40We can't let things get out of control.
26:42Are you going to cooperate or what?
26:52Well, then I can assure you, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
27:00Colin.
27:03Yeah, you're dating.
27:05He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:07If you didn't know.
27:08Colin?
27:09Why don't you show him the courses you found in the basement?
27:12If you find something very interesting.
27:21Are you going to follow his advice?
27:23You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses, so yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:26All right, you go find Colin.
27:30I can find a way to make him talk.
27:35I don't like this.
27:37It's dangerous.
27:39I can just do everything here myself.
27:40No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
27:43There's too much research to do to figure out how this happened.
27:46We should have given him Frank instead.
27:48I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:50Nah, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
27:52Yes, yes, ma'am.
28:08I promise you, if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:11I only want what's best for the citizens, and I will always do what it takes to keep our tongue safe.
28:18As this cold press moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we'll be getting high here.
28:22Here, take this.
28:31You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:33Thanks.
28:34You 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.
28:42I know.
28:43I actually...
28:45Tell me about her.
28:49She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
28:56How'd you meet her?
28:57About two years ago, she started with the team, and then within two months, she secured a targeted research sponsorship from Morrell Biotech.
29:06Morrell Biotech?
29:07Yes.
29:09Why?
29:09Okay, so I looked into this ship.
29:11It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morrell Biotech.
29:15Hmm.
29:16I mean, the research project sponsored by Morrell Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples brought back from Antarctica.
29:26Okay, her and I need to have a conversation.
29:29Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:30Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:33Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll come.
29:36You know, she did say something weird earlier.
29:40Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
29:44Okay.
29:46Oh, that's crazy.
29:50Well, I've never, uh, done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:55Oh my god!
29:57What's going on?
29:58I thought he was 10!
30:00Hey, what are you doing?
30:0310!

30:2011!
30:21What happened?
30:30Hey!
30:32Where the hell are you?
30:34Regan, we need to get out of here.
30:37Don't come any closer!
30:42Is it dead?
30:44He's dead already.
30:51911, please record your message.
31:02What the hell happened in there?
31:05Wait, wait a minute.
31:07How is this possible?
31:09These were our samples.
31:10What samples?
31:11The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:14What Antarctic samples?
31:15I'll explain later.
31:16Listen, anyone who has contact, especially blood contact,
31:20is going to turn into one again.
31:22Oh my god.
31:23So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:29Did you hear that?
31:30I'm not going to.
31:33What?
31:34How are we going to get out of here?
31:36We can't leave!
31:37Molly!
31:38Why?
31:39Why?
31:40We can't leave!
31:41We can't take this!
31:54We can't let them leave!
31:56We might be, we can take this!
31:58How are we gonna get out of here?
32:01We can't leave, Molly!
32:03Why?
32:04We can't take this!
32:05We can't let them leave, we won't be contagious!
32:15What do you think this is the police?
32:25Irene?
32:29It sounded like you need a help!
32:35What do you want to know?
32:37Everything!
32:39Four years ago, Victory, the research vessel of Morrell Biotech
32:45started its two-year voyage to Antarctica.
32:51That's my twin sister.
32:53But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
32:55It was found tied to a dock in Chile.
32:59Why Chile?
33:00They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died.
33:04Including my sister.
33:06Sorry, but why would they try to hide it?
33:10Because they wanted people to believe that Victory was still in service.
33:13And what happened to it after that?
33:15I found it tied to a dry dock in Savannah.
33:18And what I saw in there was the closest thing to hell I've ever witnessed.
33:24It was like a massacre had taken place inside.
33:28Except there were no bodies of the missing crew.
33:31I kept moving in and there it was.
33:34It was a large room and...
33:37When I...
33:38When I pulled the curtain...
33:40They opened the gate to hell.
33:42I opened the gate to hell.
33:51I opened the gate to hell.
33:56When I pulled the curtain...
34:01I, uh, I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:18So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:24These samples are clearly weaponized.
34:27Who did this?
34:28Wait, what about...
34:30This guy.
34:34His brother was a microbiologist on Victory.
34:37Edgar.
34:38We investigated the ship together.
34:39Wait, so he created those things in his basement?
34:42He upgraded the sample?
34:44There's more?
34:45You know, I bet he knows more than he's letting on about all of this.
34:48Especially those corpses in the basement.
34:50I'm gonna head back to the police station.
34:52I'll go with you.
34:53No, I need you to stay here and secure this place until the officers come.
34:55Can you do that?
34:57Okay.
34:57Look, and you know what?
34:58Now that we know what we're dealing with, maybe you could do some more work
35:00and come up with a solution.
35:01Be safe.
35:02And you come with me.
35:03I need your help.
35:04Go.
35:04What's up, Albert?
35:20What do you mean, gone?
35:23I'm on my way.
35:37Albert?
35:37No, okay, you've got to deal with them.
35:54It's hard to find these people.
35:56Those gunshots.
36:01Lock it down, people!
36:02He still isn't picking up.
36:07Just keep trying.
36:09Drop your weapon and come out with your end up.
36:14It's 13.
36:15I still don't understand, though.
36:19The corpses in the basement seemed fine.
36:22Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:23I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
36:34Is he answering?
36:35I would just not like them to not answer.
36:36Damn it!
36:39I should take your weapon!
36:44Run!
36:45Run!
36:47Run!
36:47Run!
36:48Run!
36:48Run!
36:48Run!

36:50Run!
36:51Run!
36:52Run!
36:55Where'd they go?
37:03Damn it.
37:03Get on the ground, hands up!
37:05It's not what you think!
37:06It's not me!
37:19Edgar's gone.
37:20It looks like they came from down this way. There's an elevator.
37:25Yeah, that's it. Those lead to the morgue.
37:30Why are you not answering your phone?
37:50No, we need to get out of here.
38:10We need to get out of here.
38:14Where do you think this goes?
38:38I don't know. But anything's fine. I've been out there.
38:44I need to call the National Guard.
39:03What?
39:06Who exactly do you work for?
39:09This is just the beginning.
39:28This is just the beginning.
39:33What?
39:34What?
39:36What?
39:38I don't know.
40:08I don't know.
40:38I don't know.
