Apocalypse Rising A Zombie Saga
Transcript
00:00that day I had no idea what kind of hell we were heading into we humans thinking
00:13we were so smart ended up unleashing our own worst nightmares at the beginning it
00:17was all about making the world before we knew it things spun out of control
00:25mistakes were made and you've seen how it all went down from there
00:55you
01:25Are you leaving?
01:29What's wrong?
01:31Nothing.
01:32If we could pretend that didn't happen, that would be great.
01:36Did I do something wrong?
01:38I'll see ya.
01:40See ya.
01:49You better have a really good...
01:51I know, but it's up to you.
01:55It's up to you to decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy prank.
02:00I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:25I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:30I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:34I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:40I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:42It's been vacant ever since.
02:44Last night, a passerby called the police saying they heard some creepy banging and screaming coming inside the house.
02:50When the police got here, they found the back door wide open, like it busted out from the inside.
02:55When they got here, there's nothing wrong with this.
02:57When we, uh, are we sure they're all dead?
03:01From a medical perspective, yes.
03:04Well, what is this Morse code thing? What's that telling us?
03:07That's an EEG. It's measuring the brain activity of the corpses.
03:11The brain activity?
03:13Yeah, it's fascinating, actually.
03:15Brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death.
03:17It 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 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.
03:38So you're saying the bodies are being kept here by someone?
03:43Looks like.
03:44My question is why.
03:45Maybe 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 not concerned about who they are and how they died.
03:59Well, we're on it.
04:03What is it?
04:08Is this bed empty the whole time?
04:11Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:13Do you think we should leave a few officers here to stick up the place for a few days?
04:42That's your call, but I think it's clearly abandoned.
04:46Looks like we have a big problem.
04:49And it's not so abandoned after all.
04:53Low 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
04:56The activity of the sample significantly increases.
04:59Professor, are we starting the live experiment today?
05:03No, I don't think it's a good time.
05:05But according to our agreement with Morrell 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, you may don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay off, right?
05:23The first round of live experiments wiped out all of our test subjects.
05:28That one, that two, all of them.
05:33Don't you think we should try to load it carefully?
05:35I think, uh, mice don't have bills to pay or loans to settle.
05:39Once we figure out its parasitic mode, then we'll give the experiment another shot.
05:43Why do they pull their funding because of that?
05:46They won't.
05:47They 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.
06:09Take a look at this.
06:11It's like when he died from frostbite.
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.
06:32Roger's expecting a report first thing in the morning.
06:34Yeah, I'm gonna get to it later.
06:36I need a break.
06:37You wanna get a drink?
06:38Uh, my son just called, and 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.
06:44I'm sorry.
06:45It's okay.
06:46You just behave yourself.
06:47Don't I always?
06:49Yeah.
06:53Other one?
06:56Yeah.
06:56Why not?
06:57Slumming it in police bars now, I see.
07:13What can I get for you?
07:14I'll have what he's at me.
07:15So, what are you doing here?
07:18Sounded like you had a pretty big case to run off to this morning.
07:20Yeah, I just had a really stressful day, and needed to blow off some steam.
07:26Would you like some help with that?
07:27No, no, no, no, no.
07:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:00My baby boy.
08:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:11So, you're gonna give me the keys to let me go?
08:14Officer.
08:15Hm.
08:16It's detective.
08:17Oh, yeah, all right, detective.
08:20Keys?
08:21Who's this?
08:21That is my mother and my little brother.
08:26Oh, he's adorable.
08:28Yeah, he's 12.
08:31His name's Mickey.
08:34Poor interrogations, detective.
08:36Yeah, I think the real interrogation is actually about to start.
08:40If you can handle it.
08:41I think I can give a shot.
08:42You're telling me that I got dead bodies with brainwaves that we can't even identify?
09:10I'm sorry, sir.
09:11Look, we tapped into the national database, and we've got nothing to tell us who they are.
09:15No IDs, no metal records, nothing.
09:17Just some marks on their arms, or we're assuming they're track marks from drug use.
09:20We've got to keep quiet about this kind of thing, okay, until we don't want it.
09:24You would be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town, and the election is next month.
09:30That would be smart about how we handle this.
09:35Whoa.
09:35What you got there?
09:37What is that?
09:41What do you got there, boy?
09:44What in the world?
09:46Lord knows what this place will become.
09:49Jay Spencer got the election.
09:51Sir, I need to take this.
09:54Yes?
09:56Where?
09:57Okay.
09:59What now?
10:00Ah, they found two new bodies.
10:02What?
10:03Fresh ones.
10:04Where?
10:04Down by the lake.
10:05Okay.
10:07Oh, well, are you coming?
10:18Looks like it rained pretty hard down here.
10:21It's going to be difficult to find any prints or tracks.
10:24That is my mother.
10:33Damn it, George.
10:38I know these two.
10:39I was just scared.
10:54Hey, man, I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:57This is going to be really hard.
10:59I need you to leave your room for a bit so I can't.
11:01I just want you to go.
11:02Come with me, okay?
11:03I need this wrapped up now, all right?
11:11The election is coming up.
11:13People are getting nervous.
11:14The election is not coming in.
11:16The expectations are dropped below 32 degrees in the next few days.
11:20Make sure to follow up.
11:21No drugs, no toxins.
11:29Victims were bitten.
11:31Bitten by what?
11:32Dunno.
11:33Albert thinks it could be gorillas.
11:35You're kidding, right?
11:36A gorilla?
11:37Maybe you want to escape from the zoo.
11:39Yeah, okay.
11:44What do you think?
11:44You know, I'm going to be back in a little bit.
11:48What?
11:49But Hodge is expecting us for a meeting.
11:51You got this.
11:52You got this.
11:53I got this.
11:56Bye.
12:14Bye.
12:44Bye.
13:03Hello?
13:05Is anyone there?
13:14So you knew him never forget Christmas morning stepping outside the back of the house and seeing
13:43old Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture. Frostbite. No. Dead. Beyond dead. Must have fell asleep drunk in the dish the night before. Yeah it snowed all night the night before. Took me two hours just to chip him out of the ice. So if he died last Christmas how is he here on this table? It's more your department detective. I'll get you to it. Hey. I think I found your gorilla.
14:13I see. All right. Thanks buddy. They're fake plates. Can't trace anything. Gosh you left some men there. No it's my fault. I mean I never thought they'd come back.
14:34Oh yeah boys. This is it. This is it. Yeah sure I said this is it.
14:43It's a very good diet. You say so man.
14:49It's a lot.
14:53It's freezing. Jump's gonna freeze all in here.
14:57Don't. Don't get an asthma.
14:59Superman doesn't have asthma.
15:01Hey Superman.
15:04Hey guys. I think we're sucking in the water.
15:13Are you sure?
15:17Last Christmas?
15:18I checked the records. No mistake.
15:20We're sure about one. I bet the others are connected too.
15:23Tell me about this other case.
15:26Is it the dead woman and child with bite marks?
15:28The killer was what do you call it?
15:30A gorilla?
15:33What? They steal this banana?
15:34I think the cases might be linked.
15:39How so?
15:40So at the first scene there was that bed that was empty.
15:42I think there was someone there before.
15:45But somehow they got up.
15:48They got away.
15:50And started killing people.
15:51I mean of course it's just a theory.
15:57Yeah, yeah. Well good thing it's just a theory.
15:59What am I supposed to do if it's true, huh?
16:00Call some ghostbusters?
16:02Hey, I'm sure whatever or whoever this is,
16:05they are human.
16:07Ghosts can't kill people.
16:09Right?
16:10Right.
16:10Right.
16:11Right?
16:12Yeah.
16:13Right, y'all go out and find whoever or whatever did this.
16:18You think we should call the police?
16:25We'll leave it here.
16:27Call the cops way better.
16:29But after we shoot.
16:33This dump is where you chose to film?
16:41Hey.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:45No, no problem.
16:46Why don't you go home?
16:48No, no.
16:49I'd like to keep working.
16:50Take a look at this.
16:53I discovered that they have acute sensitivity to temperature.
16:58Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit,
16:59the sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
17:02But when it's warmer,
17:05the sample becomes more active.
17:08Upon the discovery of a host body,
17:10it lays eggs like crazy,
17:11kills the host,
17:12and then goes through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:15Once it's within comfortable temperature range,
17:19that's when it starts reproducing
17:21and eventually taking over the host body's entire central nervous system.
17:24Oh, my God.
17:27What does that have to do with temperature?
17:28Well, I'm not exactly sure yet.
17:31I noticed, too,
17:32that when submerged in water for too long,
17:34the activities decreased there, too.
17:36But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments,
17:40they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:42Ew, gross.
17:46Get off me.
17:47That was great, guys.
17:49Oh, man, I'm out of here.
17:50I got another gig.
17:51Another film?
17:52Nah, a bachelor's party.
17:54What the hell?
17:55What's wrong?
17:56That thing, it moves.
17:57Its eyes are open.
18:00Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?
18:01Hey!
18:01Morrell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice.
18:12Mm-hmm.
18:13They're lying.
18:15There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica
18:18with its sample still intact.
18:20They definitely found a host body.
18:24They never should have brought it out of Antarctica.
18:26Antarctica is melting, Professor.
18:28We're going to come into contact with it anyway.
18:30They just want us to fix the sample's cold sensitivity.
18:33Well, I need to make sure it's safe first, don't I?
18:37The sample is in petri dishes.
18:39That is as safe as it gets.
18:42I'm sorry about your family.
18:45Maybe you need a break.
18:49Woo!
18:51I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
18:57You got it?
19:00Get on me!
19:21I just killed Superman.
19:26I just killed Superman.
19:30I just killed Superman.
19:43weird right apparently guy in the blue speedo just dashed out of the road fan
20:00guy ran him over what's weird then looks like he came from that house
20:05you won't believe what's inside
20:13check it out got the whole superhero crew
20:24same kind of marks the mother and son head and there's another big surprise we found just before
20:28you got here
20:37it's crazy we found this one floating in the water you think this is the corpse that escapes i think
20:41so same outfit even got the same gown i'd like to think this one back
20:51compared to the samples that we already have
20:53you know before the evidence gets contaminated all right albert it's yours
21:09it's not important
21:20it's not important
21:23guess who superman
21:26yeah i bet one of these guys is a biting fetish
21:29yeah okay then we need to compare traces
21:31we're lucky we'll wrap this kiss today
21:44play some music
22:04give it to you
22:17give it to you
22:26wow
22:27I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:44And?
22:45Any useful information?
22:47Not good news.
22:49The bite wounds, including the lethal ones,
22:51well, they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car.
22:56I knew it.
22:57Case closed.
22:59No, wait, I don't understand.
23:00How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
23:04I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
23:07Yeah.
23:07Was he wearing a red Speedo?
23:09No, but he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:13Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:16Maybe.
23:19Okay.
23:20I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:24Go ahead.
23:25I'll write the report.
23:26You sure?
23:27Okay.
23:27Go on.
23:28Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:30Sorry to hear about it.
23:31It's a bad note.
23:35Partners note, thanks.
23:36Okay.
23:37Good to have to work.
23:37Okay.
23:38Good morning.
23:39Good morning.
23:41Good morning.
23:50Good morning.
23:52Good morning.
23:53Good morning.
23:53Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:15You need to check some flights, please.
24:19Amen.
24:21Amen.
24:23I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:26I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if they could work on the experiment tonight.
24:30Uh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:33Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:38I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:40I'll see you.
24:46Hi, George.
24:47We found the great sedan.
24:48Yeah.
24:49Plates have been changed, but it's the one.
24:51Just send me the address. I'll be right there.
24:52Yeah.
24:53I'm so sorry.
24:54No, it's fine.
24:55Yeah.
24:55Seriously.
25:01So what have we got?
25:03Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the kit.
25:07He belonged to this guy.
25:08He served a year in prison for armed robbery, but that's about it.
25:12He could be our guy.
25:13What else do we know about him?
25:14Absolutely nothing.
25:16So I know there goes.
25:17Great.
25:18Uh, let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:20Yeah.
25:23So I don't know.
25:38Hands behind your head.
25:40Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:48Journalist.
25:49So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:51Why were you at that house?
25:58I'm not talking without my lawyer.
25:59Okay.
26:00I don't know.
26:00I don't know.
26:08Rheons.
26:09No way.
26:11This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:14Rheons cause mutations in the central nervous system, while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:20They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:27You're a genius.
26:28We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:33That's exactly what our sponsor wanted.
26:35But they're prions.
26:37It's going to be more difficult for them to spread if they become cold resistant.
26:41We can't hand them over until the risks are assessed.
26:48We can't let things get out of control.
26:49Are you going to cooperate or what?
27:01Well, then I can assure you, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
27:10Colin.
27:13Yeah, you're dating.
27:14He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:17If you didn't know.
27:17Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement.
27:22If you find something, uh, very interesting.
27:30Are you going to follow his advice?
27:32You know, I always thought there was something weird about this corpse, so yeah, that might not be a bad idea.
27:37Alright, you go find Colin.
27:39I can find a way to make him talk.
27:45I don't like this.
27:46It's dangerous.
27:47I can just do everything here myself.
27:49No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
27:52There's too much research to do to figure out how this happened.
27:55We should have given him Frank instead.
27:57I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:59No, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
28:01Yes?
28:15Yes, ma'am.
28:17I promise you, if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:19I only want what's best for the citizens, and I will always do what it takes to keep our tons safe.
28:26As this cold present is delayed, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we will get a psyche of the...
28:31Here.
28:38Take this.
28:40You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:42Thanks.
28:43You 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.
28:51I know.
28:52I actually...
28:55Tell me about her.
28:59She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
29:05How'd you meet her?
29:06About two years ago, she started with the team, and then within two months, she secured a targeted research sponsorship from Morel Biotech.
29:15Morel Biotech?
29:16Yes.
29:17Why?
29:18Okay, so I looked into this ship. It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morel Biotech.
29:24Hmm.
29:27The research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples up back from Antarctica.
29:35Okay, her and I need to have a conversation. Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:39Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:41Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll come in.
29:44You know, she did say something weird earlier.
29:49Something along the lines of,
29:50We keep some things get out of control.
29:58Oh, that's crazy.
30:00Well, I've never done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
30:05Oh, my God! What's going on?
30:08I thought he was 10.
30:1010, what are you doing?
30:1210?
30:1510!
30:1510!
30:1610!
30:1610!
30:1710!
30:1710!
30:22What was that?
30:22I don't know.
30:25Hello? Professor?
30:28Hello?
30:29Hey, what happened?
30:39Hey!
30:41Where the hell are you?
30:43Brandon, we need to get out of here.
30:46Don't! Don't come any closer!
30:51Is it dead?
30:53It's dead already.
30:55It's okay.
30:599-1-1, please record your message.
31:23What the hell happened in there?
31:26Wait, wait a minute.
31:27How is this possible?
31:28These were our samples.
31:30Samples?
31:31The body you brought in,
31:32it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:34Wait, what Antarctic samples?
31:35I'll explain later.
31:36Listen, anyone who has contact,
