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
02:00crank I thought you might want to come down and see this
02:30the 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
02:49coming inside the house when the police got here they found the back door wide open like
02:53busted out from the inside when we got here there's nothing but this
02:57sure they're all dead from a medical perspective yes when what is this Morse code thing was that
03:06telling us that's an AUG it's measuring the brain activity of the corpses the brain activity yeah
03:13it's fascinating actually a brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death actually can last up
03:19to 72 hours okay so you're saying they died within the last three days only a little time to confirm that
03:26the liquids what are these well those are all about keeping the bodies fresh keeping a monicum of brain
03:37activity going on so you're saying the bodies are being kept together by someone looks fine my question
03:45is why maybe for some bio experiments or I don't know black market organ trading or something you might
03:53need to consult someone to see what's really going on here no I'm concerned about who they are and how
03:58they died well we're on it what is it
04:04is this bed empty the whole time do you think there was someone here before as well
04:14don't bother we need still waiting on repairs from a hurricane that was two months ago welcome to the
04:35efficiency of the city and poor neighborhoods you should know that you think we should leave a few
04:40uh officers here to stick up the place for a few days that's your call but I think it's clearly
04:44abandoned looks like we have a big problem it's not so abandoned after all low 32 degrees Fahrenheit
04:55the activity of the sample significantly increases professor are we starting the life experiment today
05:03no I don't think it's a good time but according to our agreement with morale biotech we need to assess
05:10the samples cold intolerance as soon as possible listen I don't think they're being straight with us
05:16about the samples well 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 not one and not two
05:30all of them don't you think we should tread a little carefully I think uh mice don't have bills
05:38to pay or loans to settle once you figure out it's parasitic mode then we'll give the experiment
05:43another shot what if they pull their funding because of it they won't they need these answers just like
05:50he's been dead for several days okay so why no signs of decomposition that's because of those
06:07things take a look at this it's like when he died from crossfire okay why are we picking up brainwaves
06:14the end of a guy that's been dead for several days not sure is it possible he's still alive
06:20yep there's a door now seriously george what oh come on that was awesome and you know it
06:29i was expecting a report first thing in the morning yeah i'm gonna get to it later i need a break
06:37you want to get a drink uh 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 my bad i'm sorry it's okay you just behave yourself
06:48don't i always
06:48another one yeah why not
06:57drinking a loom tonight
07:01slumming it in police bars can i see what can i get for you i'll have what he's at me so what are you
07:17doing here sounded like you had a pretty big case to run off to this morning yeah i just had a really
07:21stressful day and needed to blow off some steam would you like some help with that
07:41rickie
07:47wickie
07:54no no no no no no no no no
08:00my baby boy

08:18keys who's this that is my mother and my little brother he's adorable yeah he's 12 his name's
08:30mickey poor interrogations detective i think the real interrogation is actually about to start
08:39if you can handle it
08:41you're telling me that i got dead bodies with brainwaves that we can't even identify
09:09i'm sorry sir look we tapped into the national database and we've got nothing to tell us who
09:13they are no ids no medical records nothing just some marks on their arms we're assuming
09:17your track marks from drug use you got to keep quiet about this kind of thing okay until
09:22we don't want you would be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town and
09:27the election is next month that'll be smart about how we handle this
09:31whoa what you got there what is that what you got there boy
09:41lord knows what this place will become if jay spencer got the election sir i need to take this
09:51yes where okay what now uh they found two new bodies what fresh ones where down by the lake
10:05well are you coming
10:09looks like it rained pretty hard down here it's gonna be difficult to find any prints or cracks
10:23that is my mother
10:31damn it george i know these two
10:38it's just a kid man i'm so sorry for your loss this is gonna be really hard but
10:57i need this wrapped up now all right the election is coming up people are getting nervous
11:13no drugs no toxins
11:27victims victims were bitten bitten by what i don't know albert thinks it could be gorillas
11:33you're kidding right a gorilla maybe you want to escape from the zoo yeah okay
11:42what do you think you know i'm gonna be back in a little bit what but hodge is expecting us for a
11:49meeting you got this you got this i got this
11:55oh
12:05oh
12:07I don't know.
12:37I don't know.
13:07I don't know.
13:37I'll never forget Christmas morning, stepping outside the back of the house and seeing old Frank there, frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:44Frostbite.
13:45No. Dead. Beyond dead.
13:51Must 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.
13:58So if he died last Christmas, how is he here on this table?
14:03It's more your department, detective.
14:05I'll bet you'd see it.
14:06Hey.
14:08Hey.
14:09I think I found your gorilla.
14:11I see.
14:16All right.
14:16Thanks, buddy.
14:18They're fake plates.
14:20Can't trace anything.
14:22Gosh, you left some men there.
14:24No, it's my fault.
14:25I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:26Oh, yeah, boys.
14:34This is it.
14:35This is it.
14:37Yeah.
14:37That's what I'm saying.
14:38This is it.
14:40It's very good, right?
14:41You say so, man.
14:47It's freezing.
14:52Jump's gonna freeze off in here.
14:54Don't do that.
14:56Superman doesn't have asthma.
14:59Hey, Superman.
15:02Text the phone number and see where she is.
15:04Hey, guys.
15:05I think you're sucked into the water.
15:11Are you sure?
15:13Last Christmas, I checked the records.
15:15No mistake.
15:16We're sure about one.
15:18I bet the others are connected, too.
15:19Tell me about this other case.
15:22You can see the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:25The killer was, what'd you call it, a gorilla?
15:29What, they steal its banana?
15:33I think the cases might be linked.
15:36How so?
15:37So, at the first scene, there was that bed that was empty.
15:39I think there was someone there before.
15:41But somehow they got up.
15:45They got away.
15:47And started killing people.
15:49I mean, of course, it's just a theory.
15:54Yeah, yeah, well, good thing it's just a theory.
15:56What am I supposed to do if it's true, huh?
15:57Call some ghostbusters?
15:59Hey, I'm sure whatever or whoever this is, they are human.
16:04Ghosts can't kill people, right?
16:06Right.
16:07Right.
16:08Right?
16:09Yeah.
16:10All right, y'all, uh, y'all go out and find whoever or whatever.
16:14Get this.
16:21You think we should call the police?
16:23Leave it here.
16:24Call the cops when I murder her.
16:26But after we shoot.
16:26This dump is where you chose to film?
16:37Hey.
16:38Oh.
16:39I'm sorry.
16:41No, no problem.
16:43Why don't you go home?
16:44No, no, I'd like to keep working.
16:47Take a look at this.
16:49I discovered that they have acute sensitivity to temperature.
16:54Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
16:58But when it's warmer, the sample becomes more active.
17:04Upon the discovery of a host body, it lays eggs like crazy, kills the host, and then goes
17:10through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:13Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and
17:17eventually 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.
17:27I noticed too that when submerged in water for too long, the activities decreased there
17:32too.
17:33But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments, they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:42Ew.
17:43Gross.
17:43Get 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 bachelor at party.
17:51What the hell?
17:52It's wrong.
17:53That thing, it moves.
17:54It's either open.
17:55Hey, hey dude.
17:58Are you okay?
18:05Morell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice.
18:08Mm-hmm.
18:10They're lying.
18:11There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica with its sample
18:15still 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?
18:33The 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.
18:46I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
18:53Guys?
19:03No!
19:16No!
19:17Get off me!
19:29Hello?
19:31Hey, oh, hold on.
19:36Holy hell.
19:38I just killed Superman.
19:40Superman.
19:40Superman.
19:41Superman.
19:42Superman.
19:43Superman.
19:44Superman.
19:45Superman.
19:48Weird, right?
19:49What the hell happened?
19:50Apparently, a guy in the blue Speedo just dashed out into the road.
19:55Fan guy ran him over.
19:58What's weird then?
19:59Looks like he came from that house.
20:02And you won't believe what's inside.
20:04eyes are such a weirdo.
20:05The whole superhero crew.
20:18Same kind of marks the mother and son hit.
20:22And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:24Before you get out of here.
20:33It was crazy. We found this one floating in the water.
20:36You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:38You think so? Same outfit. Even got the same gown.
20:43I'd like to take this one back.
20:48Compared to the samples that we already have.
20:51You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:53Alright, Albert. It's yours.
21:00I got something else to show you.
21:08Wow.
21:09A 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.
21:23Yeah, I bet one of these guys is a biting fetish.
21:26Yeah, okay. Then we need to compare traces.
21:28If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:30Let's hope so.
21:31Let's hope so.
21:32Let's hope so.
21:33Let's hope so.
21:35Play some music.
21:39Play some music.
22:09I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:39And?
22:40Any useful information?
22:42But, good news, the bite wounds, including the lethal ones, they match the dental records
22:47of our superman who got hit by the car.
22:50I knew it.
22:53Case closed.
22:54No, wait.
22:55I don't understand.
22:56How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
23:00I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
23:02Yeah.
23:03Was he wearing a red Speedo?
23:04No.
23:05But he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:08Okay.
23:09Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:11Maybe.
23:12Okay.
23:13I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:19Go ahead.
23:20I'll write the report.
23:21You sure?
23:22Go on.
23:23Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:24Sorry to hear about it.
23:25How'd you know?
23:26Partners know things.
23:30I'll have it.
23:35Alright.
23:36It's a doctor.
23:37Let's go.
23:38I'll have it.
23:39It's a secret.
23:40Look at him as a secret.
23:41I have a good girl.
23:42I can't wait.
23:43There's anything.
23:44Okay.
23:45I've got it.
23:46I'm okay.
23:47Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:10Need to check some plates, please.
24:13Amen.
24:15Amen.
24:17I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:21I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if it could work on the experiment tonight.
24:25Oh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:28Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:32I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:34I'll see you.
24:40Hi, George.
24:41We found the gray sedan.
24:43Yeah.
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.
24:50Seriously.
24:56What have we got?
24:58Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the toolkit.
25:02It belonged to this guy.
25:04He 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?
25:10Absolutely nothing.
25:11Sign up there both.
25:12Thanks.
25:13Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:15I don't know who that.
25:33Hands behind your head.
25:39Endangered 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.
25:54I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:02I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:03Rheons.
26:04No way.
26:06This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:09Rheons cause mutations in the central nervous system, while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem
26:13and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:16They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:21You're a genius.
26:22We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:28That's exactly what our sponsor wanted.
26:30But they're prions.
26:32It's going to be more difficult for them to spread if they become cold resistant.
26:40We can't hand them over until the risks are assessed.
26:42We can't let things get out of control.
26:44Are you going to cooperate or what?
26:55Well, then I can assure you, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
26:59Colin.
27:01Yeah, you're dating.
27:03He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:05If you didn't know.
27:06Go on.
27:07Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:08If you find something very interesting.
27:09Are you going to follow his advice?
27:10You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses, so yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:16Alright, you go find Colin.
27:17You can see him.
27:18Okay.
27:19So we can find a way to make him talk.
27:22I don't like this.
27:23It's dangerous.
27:24I can just do everything here myself.
27:25No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
27:29But we're not sure if he's going to get a good idea.
27:30I'm going to be doing something very interesting.
27:31Are you going to follow his advice?
27:34You know, I always thought there was something weird about this corpse, so yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:36I don't like this. It's dangerous. I can just do everything here myself.
27:43No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
27:46There's too much research to do to figure out how this happened.
27:50We should have given him Frank instead. I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:53Nah, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
28:06Yes. Yes, ma'am. I promise you, if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:15I only want what's best for the citizens, and I will always do what it takes to keep our town safe.
28:21As this cold present moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we'll be getting high here.
28:31Here, take this. You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:35Okay. Thanks.
28:37You 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.
28:45I know. I actually...
28:48Tell me about her.
28:53She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
28:59How'd you meet her?
28:59About two years ago, she started with the team, and then within two months, she secured a targeted research sponsorship from Morel Biotech.
29:09Morel Biotech?
29:10Yes.
29:11Why?
29:12Okay, so I looked into this ship. It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morel Biotech.
29:18Hmm.
29:19I mean, the research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples brought back from Antarctica.
29:29Okay, her and I need to have a conversation.
29:32Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:33Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:36Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll come.
29:39You know, she did say something weird earlier.
29:43Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
29:46Okay.
29:49Oh, that's crazy.
29:53Well, I've never, uh, done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:58Yeah.
30:00Oh my god! What's going on?
30:01I thought he was 10!
30:0310! What are you doing?
30:0610!
30:0810!
30:0810!
30:0910!
30:0910!
30:0910!
30:0910!
30:1010!
30:1010!
30:1110!
30:1110!
30:1210!
30:1310!
30:1410!
30:15What the f*** was that?
30:16I don't know.
30:1710!
30:1810!
30:1910!
30:1911!
30:2011!
30:2012!
30:2011!
30:2112!
30:2111!
30:2211!
30:22What happened?
30:32Hey!
30:34Where the hell are you?
30:36Regan, we need to get out of here.
30:39Don't come any closer!
30:44Is it dead?
30:46He's dead already.
30:52911, please record your message.
31:04What the hell happened in there?
31:07Wait, wait a minute.
31:09How is this possible?
31:11These were our samples.
31:12What samples?
31:13The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:16What Antarctic samples?
31:18I'll explain later.
31:19Anyone who has contact, especially blood contact, is going to turn into one of them.
31:24Oh my god.
31:25So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:31Did you hear that?
31:32Another one?
31:35What?
31:36What is this?
31:37No!
31:38No!
31:39No!
31:40No!
31:41It's
32:02How are we gonna get out of here?
32:04We can't leave, Colin!
32:06Why?
32:08We can't let them leave! We might be can take this!
32:11Hey!
32:13Hey!
32:17Do you think this will be some tough?
32:27Irene?
32:31It sounded like you need a help
32:37What do you want to know?
32:39Everything
32:41Four years ago
32:43Victory
32:45The research vessel of Norel Biotech
32:47Starting its two year voyage
32:49Antarctica
32:53That's my twin sister
32:55But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
32:57It was found
32:59Tied to a dock in Chile
33:01Why Chile?
33:03They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died
33:05Including my sister
33:07Sorry
33:09But why would they try to hide it?
33:11Because they wanted people to believe that
33:13Victory was still in service
33:15What happened to it after that?
33:17I found it tied to a dry dock in the savannah
33:21And what I saw in there was the closest thing to hell I've ever witnessed
33:27It was like a massacre had taken place inside
33:31Except there were no bodies of the missing crew
33:33I kept moving in and there it was
33:35I kept moving in and there it was
33:37It was a large room and
33:39When I pulled the curtain
33:41They opened the gate to help
33:43When I pulled the curtain
33:53They opened the gate to help
34:13I, uh, I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:21So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:27These samples are clearly recognized.
34:30Who did this?
34:32Wait, what about...
34:35Let's go.
34:37His brother was a microbiologist on Victory.
34:40Edgar.
34:41We 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.
34:56No, I need you to stay here and secure this place until the officers come.
34:58Can you do that?
35:00Okay.
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.
35:29Albert?
35:40Albert?
35:40No, okay, you gotta deal with them. It's hard to find these people.
35:59Lock it down, people!
36:05He still isn't picking up. Just keep trying!
36:13Drop your weapon and come out with your end up!
36:17I still don't understand though, the corpses in the basement seemed fine.
36:25Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:27I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
36:37Is he answering? No, it's just not like him to not answer.
36:40Dammit!
36:42Let's go take your weapon!
36:51How is this possible?
36:53It's exactly the same.
36:58Where'd they go?
37:06Dammit.
37:06Get on the ground, hands up!
37:08It's not Rethink, it's not me!
37:22Edgar's gone.
37:23It looks like they came from down this way. There's an elevator.
37:29Yeah, that's it. Those lead to the morgue.
37:32What are you doing?
37:49Why are you not answering your phone?
37:50Why are you not answering your phone?
38:12We need to get out of here!
38:20We need to get out of here!
38:40Where do you think this goes?
38:42I don't know. But anything's happened out here.
38:50No! No! No!
38:59I need to call the National Guard!
39:06What?
39:09Who exactly do you work for?
39:20No! No!
39:34This is just the beginning.
39:35What?
39:40What?
39:41I don't know.
40:11I don't know.
40:41I don't know.
