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
00:28mistakes were made and you've seen how it all went down from there
00:58oh
01:00oh
01:02oh
01:04you leaving what's wrong nothing
01:34just if we could pretend that didn't happen that would be great
01:37did I do something wrong I'll see ya see ya
01:50you better have a really good I know but it's up to you to decide whether this is
01:58a serious incident or just some crazy prank I thought you might want to come
02:03down and see this
02:33the homeowner's 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
02:53bust it out from the inside you got here there's nothing
02:56this sure they're all dead medical perspective yes when what is this Morse code thing was that telling
03:07us that's an AUG it's measuring the brain activity of the corpses the brain activity
03:11yeah it's fascinating actually a brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death actually
03:18can last up to 72 hours okay so you're saying they died within the last three days
03:23the liquids what are these well those are all about keeping the bodies fresh keeping a monicum of brain activity going on so you're saying the bodies are being kept here by someone looks like my question is why maybe for some bio experiments or oh no black market organ trading or something
03:30you might need to consult someone to see what's really going on here
03:37you know I'm more concerned about who they are and how they died
03:38well we're on it
03:39what is it?
03:40what is it?
03:41is this vet emptied?
03:42is this vet emptied?
03:43is this vet emptied?
03:44the whole time?
03:45do you think it was someone here before?
03:46is this vet emptied?
03:47is this vet emptied?
03:49the whole time?
03:50do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:07is this vet emptied?
04:10Was that empty the whole time?
04:12Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:29Don'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.
04:37You should know that.
04:39Do you think we should leave a few officers here to stake up the place for a few days?
04:43That'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.
04:54Low 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 Morell 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.
05:17Well, um, they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up, right?
05:23The first round of live experiments wiped out all of our test subjects.
05:28Got one, got two, all 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 we figure out its parasitic mode, then we'll give the experiment another shot.
05:44What if they pull their funding because of that?
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?
06:05That's because of those things.
06:08Take a look at this.
06:10It's likely he died from frostbite.
06:12Okay, why are we picking up brainwaves, then, of a guy that's been dead for several days?
06:16Not sure.
06:17Is it possible he's still alive?
06:20Yep.
06:22There'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.
06:37You wanna 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?
06:56Yeah, why not?
06:59Do you drink in the womb tonight?
07:09Slumming 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?
07:17Sounded 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?
07:29I just can't hear it.
07:46Mickey?!
07:49Mickey?
07:50So you're gonna give me the keys to let me go officer
08:14hmm it's detective oh yeah all right detective keys who's this that is my
08:23mother and my little brother he's adorable yeah he's 12 his name is mickey
08:34poor interrogations detective I think the real interrogation is actually about
08:39to start if you can handle it
08:44you'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
09:18your track marks from drug use you got to keep quiet about this country until you want
09:23you would be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town and the
09:27election is next month that'll be smart about how we handle this oh what you got there
09:37what is that what you got there boy
09:41what in the world
09:44lord knows what this place would 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 tracks
10:23that is my mother
10:31damn it george
10:36i know these two
10:38it's just a kid man i'm so sorry for your loss this is gonna be really hard
10:57i need this wrapped up now all right the election is coming up people are getting nervous
11:13no drugs no toxins victims were bitten bitten by what
11:30i don't know albert thinks it could be gorillas you're kidding right a gorilla maybe one escape from the zoo
11:36what do you think you know i'm gonna be back in a little bit what but hodge is expecting us for a meeting
11:49you got this you got this
11:51i got this
11:53oh my god
12:10oh
12:11oh
12:13oh
12:19I don't know.
12:49Last night I passed a flight called the pilot.
12:51Bussed it out.
13:03Hello?
13:05Is anyone there?
13:07So you knew him?
13:09Who?
13:11I'll never forget Christmas morning.
13:13Stepping outside the back of the house.
13:15I'm sorry.
13:16I'm sorry.
13:17I'm sorry.
13:18I'm sorry.
13:19I'm sorry.
13:20I'm sorry.
13:21I'm sorry.
13:22I'm sorry.
13:23I'm sorry.
13:24I'm sorry.
13:25I'm sorry.
13:35So you knew him?
13:36Oof.
13:37I'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.
13:45Hmm.
13:46No.
13:47Dead.
13:48Beyond 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.
13:58So if he died last Christmas, how is he here on this table?
14:02It's more your department, detective.
14:04I think you'd see it.
14:05Hey.
14:06Hey.
14:07Hey.
14:08I think I found your gorilla.
14:15I see.
14:16Alright.
14:17Thanks, buddy.
14:18They're fake plates.
14:19You can't trace anything.
14:21Gosh, you left some men there.
14:23No, it's my fault.
14:24I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:32Oh yeah, boys.
14:33This is it.
14:34This is it.
14:35Yeah.
14:36This is it.
14:37Yeah.
14:38That's what I said.
14:39This is it.
14:40It's perfect, right?
14:41You say so, man.
14:42It's freezing.
14:43Trump's gonna freeze off in here, man.
14:44Superman doesn't have asthma.
14:46Hey, Superman.
14:47Hey, Superman.
14:48I think you're sucking in the water.
14:49You sure?
14:50Last Christmas?
14:51I checked the records.
14:52No mistake.
14:53We're sure about one.
14:54I bet the others are connected too.
14:55Tell me about this other case.
14:56It's the dead woman and child with bite marks.
14:57The killer was...
14:58The killer was, uh...
14:59What'd you call it?
15:00A...
15:01...a...
15:02Hey guys, I think there's something in the water.
15:11Are you sure?
15:13Last Christmas?
15:14I checked the records. No mistake.
15:16We're sure about one. I bet the others are connected too.
15:20Tell me about this other case.
15:22It's the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:25The killer was, what'd you call it, a...
15:27A 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.
15:42But somehow they got up...
15:45They got away...
15:47And started killing people.
15:53I 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.
16:05Right?
16:06Right.
16:07Right.
16:08Right?
16:09Yeah.
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?
16:18Leave it here.
16:19Call the cops who might better.
16:20But after we shoot.
16:21This dump is where you chose to film?
16:22Hey.
16:23Oh.
16:24I'm sorry.
16:25No, no problem.
16:26Why don't you go home?
16:27No, no.
16:28I'd like to keep working.
16:29Take a look at this.
16:30I discovered that they have an acute sensitivity to temperature.
16:33It's below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
16:35The sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
16:37hey oh I'm sorry no no problem why don't you go home no no I'd like to keep
16:45working take a look at this I discovered that they have acute
16:52sensitivity to temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit the sample is in the
16:57sort of hibernation phase but when it's warmer sample becomes more active upon
17:05the discovery of a host body it lays eggs like crazy kills the host and then goes
17:09through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts once it's within comfortable temperature
17:15range that's when starts reproducing and eventually taking over the host body's
17:19entire central nervous system what does that have to do with temperature I'm not
17:26exactly sure yet I noticed too that when submerged in water for too long the
17:31activities decrease there too but as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments
17:36they bounce back in a matter of minutes
17:40ew gross get off me that was great guys
17:46oh man I'm out of here I got another gig
17:48no film no bachelor at party
17:50what the hell that thing it moves it's either open
17:55morel biotech claims this samples from the Antarctic ice
18:08mm-hmm they're lying there's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in
18:14Antarctica with its sample still intact they definitely found a host body
18:18they never should have brought it out of Antarctica
18:22Antarctica is melting professor we're gonna come into contact with it anyway
18:26they 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 that is as safe as it gets
18:37I'm sorry about your family
18:40maybe you need a break
18:42I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys
18:51guys
18:53guys
18:54guys
18:56get off me
19:18me
19:25hello
19:30hey
19:32oh hold on
19:37holy hell
19:39I just killed Superman
19:43weird right
19:50what the hell happened
19:51apparently a guy in the blue speedo just dashed out into the road
19:55fan guy ran him over
19:57what's weird then
19:59looks like he came from that house
20:01you won't believe what's inside
20:04check it out
20:11got the whole superhero crew
20:13same kind of marks the mother and son head
20:22and there's another big surprise we found just before you got here
20:25it's crazy we found this one floating in the water
20:36you think this is the corpse that escapes
20:38think so
20:39same outfit
20:40even got the same gown
20:42I'd like to think this one back
20:44compared to the samples that we already have
20:49you know before the evidence gets contaminated
20:53alright Albert it's yours
20:55got something else to show you
21:08wow
21:09whole superhero orgy
21:11but guess who was here but wasn't in the film
21:14you watched the whole thing didn't you
21:16that's not important
21:19guess who
21:20superman
21:21yeah I bet one of these guys is a biting fetish
21:25yeah okay then we need to compare traces
21:28if we're lucky we'll rep this case today
21:30let's hope so
21:31mhm
21:46play some music
22:00hey
22:13I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:38And?
22:39Any useful information?
22:41But, 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, I don't understand.
22:55How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
22:58I 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.
23:08Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:11Maybe.
23:13Okay.
23:14I 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.
23:26I'm sorry to hear about this today.
23:28How'd you know?
23:30Partners know things.
23:32I have someone.
24:00Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:10Need to check some plates, please.
24:14Hey, man.
24:15Hey, man.
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.
24:25I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:27Actually, 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.
24:46Send me the address. I'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.
25:04Yeah, he 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.
25:11So I know there's others.
25:12Thanks.
25:13Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:15I don't know.
25:33Hands behind your head.
25:34Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:42Journalist.
25:43So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:45Why were you at that house?
25:51I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:03Rheons.
26:04No way.
26:05See, this 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.
26:20You're a genius.
26:23We'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.
26:43We 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,
26:59my friend.
27:03Colin.
27:06Yeah, you're dating.
27:08He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:10If you didn't know.
27:11Go on.
27:12Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:16If you find something very interesting.
27:24Are you going to follow his advice?
27:26You know, I always thought there was something weird about this corpse,
27:28so yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:31All right, you go find Colin.
27:33Instead, you can find a way to make him talk.
27:39I don't like this.
27:40It's dangerous.
27:41I 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.
27:51I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:53No, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
27:55Yes, yes, ma'am.
28:11I 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.
28:20As this cold press moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we will get a high key of-
28:26Here, take this.
28:34You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:36Thanks.
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.
28:45I know.
28:46I actually...
28:47Tell me about her.
28:53She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
28:59How'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.
29:09Morel 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.
29:21The research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples brought back from Antarctica.
29:29Her 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 for her, she'll come.
29:38You know, she did say something weird earlier.
29:43Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
29:51Oh, that's crazy.
29:53Well, I've never done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:58Oh my god, what's going on?
30:01What the f*** was that?
30:16I don't know.
30:18Hello, professor?
30:22Hello?
30:23What happened?
30:24Hey!
30:35What the hell are you?
30:37Reagan, we need to get out of here.
30:40Don't move!
30:40Don't come any closer!
30:43Is it dead?
30:47It's dead already.
30:49Let's go.
30:549-1-1, please record your message.
31:06What the hell happened in there?
31:09Wait, wait a minute.
31:10How is this possible?
31:12These were our samples.
31:13What samples?
31:14The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:17Then what Antarctic samples?
31:18I'll explain later.
31:19Listen, anyone who has contact, especially blood contact, is going to turn into one again.
31:24Oh my god.
31:26So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:31Did you hear that?
31:33I'm not going in.
31:35What?
31:36Go!
31:36Go, go, go, go!
31:51How are we going to get out of here?
32:04We can't leave, Molly!
32:06Why?
32:07We can't let them leave.
32:09We might be contagious.
32:10What do you think this will be so tough?
32:19Irene?
32:24It sounded like you need a help.
32:33What do you want to know?
32:40Everything.
32:42Four years ago, Victory, the research vessel of Morrell Biotech started its two-year voyage
32:50in Antarctica.
32:54That's my twin sister.
32:55But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
32:58It was found tied to a dock in Chile.
33:02Why Chile?
33:03They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died, including my sister.
33:08Sorry, but why would they try to hide it?
33:12Because they wanted people to believe that Victory was still in service.
33:17What happened to it after that?
33:18I found it tied to a dry dock in Savannah, and what I saw in there was the closest village
33:24of how I've ever witnessed.
33:27It was like a massacre had taken place inside, except there were no bodies of the missing crew.
33:33So, I kept moving in, and there it was.
33:37It was a large room, and when I pulled the curtain, they opened the gate to help.
33:51When I pulled the curtain, they opened the gate to help.
34:03I, uh, I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:22So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:27These samples are clearly weaponized.
34:31Who did this?
34:31Wait, what about...
34:33What's this guy?
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.
35:00And look, and you know what?
35:01Now that we know what we're dealing with, maybe you could do some more work,
35:03and come up with a solution.
35:04Be safe.
35:05And you come with me.
35:06I need your help.
35:07Go.
35:07What's up, Albert?
35:23What do you mean, gone?
35:28I'm on my way.
35:29Albert?
35:40Albert?
35:41No, okay, you gotta deal with them. It's hard to find these people.
35:59Those gunshots.
36:04Lock it down, people!
36:08He still isn't picking up. Just keep trying!
36:11Drop your weapons, and come out with your hands up!
36:1713.
36:20I still don't understand, though. The corpses in the basement seem fine.
36:24Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:34I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
36:36He didn't answer, you know. He does not like him to not answer.
36:39Damn it!
36:42I don't drink your weapons!
36:47Run!
36:51How is this possible?
36:53They're exactly the same.
36:58Where'd they go?
36:59What is this possible?
37:00What do we do?
37:01What do we do?
37:02What is this possible?
37:03What's this possible?
37:05Didn't we do?
37:06Get on the ground! Hands up!
37:08It's not Rethink! It's not me!
37:22Edgar's gone.
37:24It looks like they came from down this way.
37:26There's an elevator.
37:29Yeah, that's it.
37:31Those lead to the morgue.
37:36Why are you not answering your phone?
37:52Why are you not answering your phone?
38:02Why are you!?
38:05Why are you not running this?!
38:07No, please!
38:12He needs to go!
38:13He needs to get out of here!
38:19Ssh...

38:32Hey!
38:32Hey!
38:32Where do you think we're supposed to go?
38:41I don't know.
38:42But anything's fine.
38:43It's out there.
38:59I need to call the National Guard.
39:02What?
39:06Who exactly do you work for?
39:11This is just the beginning.
39:20This is just the beginning.
39:34This is just the beginning.
39:35This is the beginning.
39:36You're a little bit better.
39:37You're a little bit better.
39:38You're a little bit better.
39:40Oh
