00:00In Buck Lake, a mysterious team gets their guns ready and discusses their plan inside a van.
00:05They've received some intel that their target will be at Hastings Supermarket.
00:08Meanwhile at the store, manager Tarkey announces that they're closing.
00:11Then he steals some of the supermarket's money by hiding it in his pants.
00:15Benny checks the back of the store for any remaining clients and is horrified to find
00:18a fellow employee dead on the floor and another one with his hands up.
00:21Suddenly Dr. Sterling appears behind Benny and points her gun at him, telling him to get on the
00:25floor. At the front, someone screams as Logan also points his gun at everyone while filming
00:29with his other hand. He forces Tarkey to leave his office while his teammates stop a client trying
00:34to leave. Spooky starts grabbing every shopper's head and uses his psychic power to check their
00:38minds, but he can't find their target. Aaron announces on the speakers that this is a robbery,
00:42all doors have been chained, and anyone caught using their phones will be shot.
00:46A shopper doesn't obey and gets shot on the spot. When Spooky checks a middle-aged woman,
00:50she panics and tries to run. Spooky confirms she's won so Aaron kills her with a single shot.
00:55At the cleaning product aisle, Officer Chambers is pretending to be a scared customer in front of
00:59a thug. But when the guy turns around to search for his teammates, Chambers shoots him before using
01:04his phone to call for backup. Aaron gets worried that his partner doesn't answer the radio and tries
01:08to approach the cleaning product aisle, but Chambers sees him and opens fire.
01:11Logan and Aaron immediately shoot back, forcing Chambers to run and hide. While Kane and Aaron find
01:16their friend's body, Chambers continues to sneak around and finds Spooky, so he shoots him several times.
01:22Aaron rushes to that corridor and keeps Chambers distracted until Kane appears behind the cop to
01:26shoot him down too. Spooky dies in Aaron's arms while Kane finds Chambers' phone, learning that
01:31the police have been called. All the ruffians gather and discuss what to do. Kane thinks they
01:35should leave, but Aaron says they need to finish the job. The others agree to stay because Spooky
01:39assured them that his target is in that store, and Kane has no choice but to stay too. Using some
01:44toilet
01:44paper, Aaron gathers Spooky's blood and writes stay back on the window. The police then finally arrive
01:49and the thugs release all the shoppers that Spooky got to check. In the freezer, Sterling has opened
01:54up the middle-aged woman's body and finds a dangerous parasite that has been inside this
01:58person for eight years. Worried that all the bodies may have something, Kane shoots them a few extra
02:02times just in case. Then he makes employees Manny and Whitney move and cover up Chambers' body. While
02:07doing so, Whitney notices the officer's gun. The thugs then take all their hostages to the storeroom and
02:12discuss how to proceed. Since Spooky is dead, Aaron thinks they need a new spotter and wants to call
02:17Charlotte, who parted on bad terms. Kane is losing his patience and aggressively yells at the
02:22hostages whenever they say a single word. Then Aaron decides that until they get Charlotte,
02:26they must keep checking the hostages with the SNP test. While Kane turns off all the lights,
02:30Aaron asks Sterling to finish the biopsy and record everything. Outside, the cops interrogate the
02:35released shoppers. Detective Seth get worried when he realizes that one of the hostages still inside is
02:40his stepdaughter Whitney. He wants to do all kinds of things to keep the situation under control,
02:44so Officer Moody has to remind him that he isn't living in the city anymore. In this little town,
02:48the cops don't have many resources. In the parking lot, Seth and Moody find the thugs' van and are
02:53shocked by the huge amount of ammo. There's also a camera and a box full of tapes. The van is
02:58registered to Aaron, a widower who used to work for jet propulsion laboratories. In the store,
03:03most of the thugs are getting all the objects they'll need for the test. Logan drops Spooky in
03:07the freezer and closes the door, unaware that Chambers' body has started to move. Kane brings milk to the
03:12hostages and forces them to drink lots of it, even when a woman almost pukes. Once they're left alone,
03:17Whitney tells the group about Chambers' gun and claims she could negotiate with the thugs because
03:21she's learned from Seth. Soon the thugs return and Aaron introduces the hostages to his team.
03:26He explains that one of them has been infected with a dangerous substance, so they'll allow them
03:30to leave after they're sure they're clear. Spooky was their spotter, meaning he was the only one who
03:34could tell who is infected. Without him, they're forced to use an alternate test, which involves
03:38the milk altering their acidity to trigger a reaction in the infected person. Karki is taken to another
03:43room and forced to write his name on a jar lid. Sterling comes back after finishing the biopsy
03:47and explains that these specimens are twice as big as anything they've seen. They're all female and
03:52fertile. Aaron then starts asking Tarki questions about his private life and makes him keep his eyes
03:56on his hand. However Tarki still notices Sterling getting a knife ready to cut his finger and he
04:00freaks out. The thugs immediately point their guns at him and Tarki offers to pay them for his freedom
04:05as he pulls out the cash from his pants. The team doesn't care about money and forces Tarki to sit
04:09down.
04:09In the storeroom, Kane hears all the screaming and leaves to investigate. Manny reveals he's had a
04:14box cutter all along and uses it to cut the tape on his wrists. The group discusses what to do
04:19next
04:19and a teacher mentions he's an excellent marksman, so Benny tells him of a shortcut to the freezer and
04:23Manny gives them the box cutter. When Kane comes back Manny asks to go to the bathroom, but Kane tells
04:28him to piss in the storeroom. At that moment Seth finally manages to call the store and Aaron picks up
04:33the phone. Seth tries to intimidate him by mentioning his history and his daughter, but Aaron just asks him
04:37to bring Charlotte, who was arrested for possession two weeks ago. Then Aaron gives Seth his personal
04:42number and hangs up. Afterward the thugs hold Tarki down and Sterling cuts his pinky off. The
04:47hostages hear his screams but Kane tells them to be quiet. The finger is put in the jar with ice
04:51and
04:52they wait two minutes for a reaction. Since nothing happens, it means Tarki is clear. Meanwhile Seth
04:57watches the tapes they found in the van. Sterling's talking about an alien organism that came from a
05:01meteor and needs heat to survive. The only way to kill it is to freeze it, but even that can
05:05take hours.
05:06Moody interrupts Seth to give him Charlotte's profile, which says she's addicted to multiple
05:10substances. Aaron's profile has also arrived and they learn that he quit his lab job after he was
05:15acquitted of involuntary manslaughter. The other thugs also used to work in that lab and quit when Aaron
05:19did. They started some sort of secret club and bought lots of guns. The rest of the lab employees are
05:25all dead. Then Seth continues to watch the tapes. This one shows the team running out of the building
05:29while a creature roars off camera. There are lots of gunshots and someone dying for not running fast
05:34enough. In the meantime a cop picks up Charlotte from jail and asks her why she and Aaron had a
05:38falling out. She explains she failed to help him, but doesn't say how. While the cop has his eyes on
05:43the road, Charlotte manages to take the handcuffs off using the dislocated wrist trick. In the storeroom,
05:48the teacher has cut off the tape. At that moment Tarki is brought back with his finger in the jar.
05:53They want to test Whitney next, so she tells them that she's a detective stepdaughter. The thugs don't
05:57care and try to get her anyway, but Benny volunteers to go first. They take him to the other room
06:02and
06:02quickly cut his pinky off. There's no reaction either, so he's cleared too. After Benny is sent
06:07back, the group runs the test on the shopper who almost puked. After they cut off her finger, she
06:12starts feeling very sick. While waiting the two minutes, Sterling and Aaron argue about Charlotte,
06:16since her addiction has caused her to make mistakes and innocent people got killed. Logan interrupts
06:20them he notices that the lady's finger is growing back. Suddenly the woman screeches and makes the
06:25whole building shake. In the freezer, Chamber's body is mutating. The woman attacks her captors, sending
06:30them flying across the room while the screeching gets so bad that even the cops hear it outside.
06:34The team tries to stop her and they get hit multiple times. After some struggle they manage
06:39to grab her and Aaron stabs her in the neck from behind. Now Sterling can do another biopsy.
06:43Kane is worried about his friends so he rushes to check on them. The teacher uses the chance to
06:48escape after dropping the cutter for Benny. He quickly gets to the freezer and checks a few bodies
06:52until he finds the gun. On his way out he accidentally bumps into the meat and gets so startled that
06:56he
06:56shoots at it. The noise causes Chambers to wake up and brutally attack the teacher. The gunshot is also
07:01heard by the team and the cops. Kane and Logan go to investigate the storeroom while Aaron gets a call
07:06from Seth, who promises that Charlotte will arrive soon. Aaron assures him that Whitney is fine but
07:10things will escalate if Charlotte doesn't arrive in 10 minutes. In the storeroom, Logan and Kane realize
07:15that the teacher is gone. Kane threatens to shoot Whitney, so Benny tells them that the teacher went to the
07:20freezer. The duo immediately heads there and finds the teacher bleeding on the floor. Suddenly the teacher
07:25moves so Kane quickly shoots him in the head, saying he wouldn't have made it anyway. Then they hear a
07:29noise and notice something moving in the shadows. A mutated Chambers jumps out with a mighty roar so
07:34Logan and Kane open fire. Outside, the cop finally drops Charlotte, who casually returns the handcuffs to
07:40him. Seth calls Aaron to update him, but Aaron just heard the gunshot so he tells him to call later.
07:45When Seth asks Charlotte for an explanation, she asks for a substance in return. In the store, Aaron tries
07:50to contact his friends to no avail. While Sterling stays with the hostages, Aaron runs to the
07:55fridge and finds Kane wounded on the floor. Kane explains that Logan is dead, Chambers is the
07:59alien king, and he was stung during the fight so he's infected. After Kane says his final goodbye,
08:04Aaron kills him with a shot. It's revealed that he had to do the same for his wife. He then
08:09rushes
08:09back to the storeroom and updates Sterling, asking her to protect the hostages while he looks for the
08:13enemy. Meanwhile Chambers is dragging Logan's body through the store. In the parking lot, Seth gets
08:18Charlotte to talk by giving her an officer's medicine, but he has trouble believing that aliens are real.
08:23Suddenly they hear screeching and the whole building shakes again, so Charlotte says this should be
08:27proof. She then finishes her story, she used to be infected by the aliens, but thanks to all the
08:32substances she took because of her addiction, the infection didn't last long. Thanks to this contact
08:37with the aliens, she gained the ability to sense them. However it also means she needs to keep on
08:41consuming to prevent the aliens from taking over. In the storeroom, Whitney has cut her tape too. Then
08:46Benny distracts Sterling and Manny tackles her from behind. They struggle on the ground until Manny bites her
08:51hand and steals her gun. In the main shop area, Aaron finds Logan's body and shoots him in case
08:56he's infected. Suddenly Chambers appears behind him, so Aaron runs back to the storeroom. Soon
09:01Chambers also appears and hits Manny to throw him back. Aaron immediately opens fire, causing Chambers
09:06to run away with Manny's body. Hearing all the shots, Seth keeps calling Aaron, but he won't pick up.
09:11Seth wants to break in with his men and Charlotte says it's a bad idea that will only get everyone
09:15killed.
09:16In the storeroom, Benny picks up Manny's gun and points it at Aaron, ignoring Whitney when
09:20she says they should just leave. Aaron asks him to trust him so an angry Benny reminds him they
09:24cut off his finger. Sterling raises her hand to reveal she also lost a finger and got it reattached,
09:29saying it's necessary. Then Aaron explains that his team came to this location to find the alien
09:33king because by killing him, the females won't reproduce anymore and the aliens will go extinct.
09:38Seth keeps calling, so Aaron tells Benny that with Charlotte, they could get this done in just 10 minutes.
09:42Benny agrees to cooperate and Tarki complains, so Benny aims the gun at him to keep him back.
09:47While Tarki fires Benny, Aaron talks to Seth and agrees to exchange one hostage for Charlotte.
09:52Then he asks to talk to her and makes her check that Seth is clear. Once she confirms he is,
09:57Aaron tells her to let Seth come in to do the exchange and he hangs up. Afterward Aaron and
10:01Sterling prepare for a big fight. Whitney says that she doesn't trust these people, but Benny saw
10:05Chambers' mutations and agrees that they must kill the king, getting a scared reaction from Whitney.
10:09The group then moves to the storeroom door, only to find it blocked. Now they'll have to take the
10:14long way to the back door. As they carefully sneak around the store, they find Manny's dead body on
10:19the floor. Aaron shoots him a few times in case he's infected. He also discovers that the back
10:23door is blocked too, so they have no choice but to go to the front. After Seth gets a call
10:28with a
10:28location for the exchange, Mooney complains because he thinks all the cops should be going in and accuses
10:32Seth of not following protocol because of Whitney. In the main shop area, the group sees something moving
10:37in the shadows. Aaron assures them that the creature isn't smart and the brain must be half dead by now.
10:42When they're about to reach the door, they hear the monster roar and rush to hide.
10:46Turkey drops the jar with his finger in the process and decides to go back for it.
10:50Chambers immediately uses the chance to jump on him and kill him in the dark.
10:53Sterling drops Benny and Whitney in the manager's office while Aaron makes it to the front door.
10:57He lets Charlotte and Seth in and the men keep the guns pointed at each other.
11:00Aaron explains that the hostage he planned to exchange is dead and he needs Seth's help to finish this,
11:04so the detective agrees to cooperate while Charlotte locks the door again.
11:08She can already sense an alien in the room and says it's very powerful.
11:11Suddenly they hear some gunshots and Sterling comes back.
11:14She explains she shot Chambers six times to no avail.
11:17When Chambers runs down the aisle, everyone opens fire at the same time and they still don't kill him.
11:22Charlotte senses that Chambers is looking for something so Seth moves toward the manager's
11:25office while the others plan a distraction.
11:27Meanwhile Benny tells Whitney he'll distract the creature while she runs,
11:30but she refuses to leave without him. Luckily Seth finds them first and Whitney runs to hug him.
11:35While Charlotte uses her power to get Chambers' attention,
11:38Seth takes the duo to the front door. As soon as he opens it, Moody sends his men inside,
11:43ignoring Seth's orders. A screech echoes in the area while the cops surround the team.
11:47At that moment Chambers jumps on Aaron and throws him around a few times before starting to beat him up.
11:51The cops can't shoot the monster without hurting Aaron,
11:54so Seth fires his gun in the air to get Chambers' attention.
11:57When the creature turns around to screech at the cops,
11:59Aaron stabs him in the neck from behind. After cutting enough to create an opening,
12:03Aaron pulls out a horrifying alien from Chambers' body.
12:06The creature is small but strong enough to bring Aaron down.
12:08They struggle on the ground and Aaron knows he can't win this, so he asks Seth to shoot.
12:13All the cops open fire and the alien quickly dies, but unfortunately Seth is severely wounded too.
12:18With his last breath, Aaron asks Sterling to end it, so she screams in grief as she shoots her dear
12:22friend. Afterward Seth arrests Sterling, who insists there are still female aliens on the loose.
12:27Seth explains he's following the rules and he'll try his best to prove her story to the law.
12:32Charlotte checks the alien's body and freaks out when she realizes this isn't the king after all,
12:36which she yells on the radio to warn everyone. In the police car,
12:39Benny hears the message as well and realizes Whitney is the only one who wasn't checked.
12:43He can't leave the car because the door is locked so he points his gun at her.
12:46Whitney turns around and says that she's always loved him as the veins in her face turned black.
12:50Benny screams as he dies.
