Short filmTranscript
00:08That day, I had no idea what kind of hell we were heading into.
00:13We humans, thinking we were so smart, ended up unleashing our own worst nightmares.
00:19At the beginning, it was all about making the world a better place.
00:22No, no, no, no, no!
00:24But before we knew it, things spun out of control.
00:28Mistakes were made, and, well, you've seen how it all went down from there.
00:32Oh my god, what's going on?
01:10Oh my god, what's going on?
01:15Oh my god.
01:16Oh my god.
01:19Oh my god.
01:28Are you leaving?
01:31What's wrong?
01:33Nothing.
01:34Just, if we could pretend that didn't happen, that would be great.
01:37Did I do something wrong?
01:40I'll see ya.
01:41See ya.
01:51You better have a really good experience for calling me non-stop on a weekend.
01:55I know, but it's up to you to decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy prank.
02:02I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:31You better have a really good experience for calling me non-stop on a weekend.
02:40The 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
02:49coming 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 you got here, there's nothing more than this.
02:58Are 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 AUG. It's measuring the brain activity of the corpses.
03:11The brain activity?
03:13Yeah, it's fascinating, actually.
03:15A brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death.
03:18It actually can last up to 72 hours.
03:21Okay, so you're saying they died within the last three days?
03:24Well, we need a little bit of time to confirm that.
03:29And the liquids, what are these?
03:33Well, those are all about keeping the bodies fresh.
03:35Keeping a moniker mode of brain activity going on.
03:39So you're saying the bodies are being kept here by someone?
03:43Looks like.
03:45My question is why?
03:46Maybe for some bio experiments or, oh no, black market organ trading or something.
03:52We might need to consult someone to see what's really going on here.
03:56You know, I'm more concerned about who they are and how they died.
04:00Well, we're on it.
04:03What is it?
04:04Oh, I'm kidding.
04:09Is this bed empty the whole time?
04:12Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:29Don't bother.
04:30The community's still waiting on repairs from the hurricane.
04:33That was two months ago.
04:34Welcome to the efficiency of the city and poor neighborhoods.
04:37You should know that.
04:39You think we should leave a few officers here to stick out 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.
04:53Low 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 Morel Biotech, we need to assess the sample's cold intolerance as soon as possible.
05:14Listen.
05:15I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
05:18Well, um, they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay off, right?
05:24The first round of live experiments wiped out all of our test subjects.
05:28Got one.
05:29Got two.
05:32All of them.
05:33Don't you think we should travel 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.
05:45What if they pull their funding because of it?
05:47They won't.
05:48They need these answers.
05:50Just 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 likely 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?
06:27Oh, come on.
06:28That was awesome.
06:28You know it.
06:32Roger's expecting a report first thing in the morning.
06:35Yeah, I'm going to get to it later.
06:36I need a break.
06:37Want to get a drink?
06:39My son just called, and you know this job's already ruining my marriage, and you want
06:43me to go home smelling like a bar?
06:44My 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.
06:57Why not?
07:00Drinking the loom tonight?
07:01Yeah.
07:05I don't know.
07:10Slumming it in police bars, now I see it.
07:13What can I get for you?
07:14I'll have what he's at me.
07:16So, 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?
07:43Mickey?
07:47Mickey?
07:50Mickey?
07:53No.
07:56No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:00My baby boy.
08:10So, you're going to give me the keys to let me go, officer?
08:15It's detective.
08:17Oh, yeah, all right, detective.
08:19Keys?
08:20Who's this?
08:22That is my mother and my little brother.
08:26He's adorable.
08:28Yeah, he's 12.
08:30His name's Mickey.
08:34More interrogations, detective.
08:36I think the real interrogation is actually about to start.
08:40If you can handle it.
08:41I think I can give you a shot.
09:05You'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.
09:14No IDs, no medical records, nothing.
09:16Just 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 know more.
09:23You wouldn't be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town,
09:27and the election is next month.
09:29That would be smart about how we handle this.
09:34Whoa.
09:35What you got there?
09:38What is that?
09:40What you got there, boy?
09:46Lord knows what this place would become if J. Spencer got the election.
09:51Sir, I need to take this.
09:53Yes?
09:55Where?
09:57Okay.
09:59What now?
10:00They found two new bodies.
10:02What?
10:03Fresh ones.
10:04Where?
10:04Down by the lake.
10:08Well, are you coming?
10:16Looks like it rained pretty hard down here.
10:20It's going to be difficult to find any prints or cracks.
10:29That is my mother.
10:32That is my mother.
10:35Damn it, George.
10:37I know these two.
10:52I was just a kid.
10:54Man, I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:56This is going to be really hard, but...
10:58I think you'll live your own for a bit so I can finish my report.
11:01Go with me, okay?
11:08I need this wrapped up now, all right?
11:11The election is coming up.
11:12People are getting nervous.
11:14With this corporate coming in, we have a chance to drop below 32 degrees in the next few days.
11:19Make sure to follow up.
11:25No drugs, no toxins.
11:27Victims were bitten.
11:29Bitten by what?
11:30Dunno.
11:31Albert thinks it could be gorillas.
11:34You're kidding, right?
11:34A gorilla?
11:35Maybe you want to escape from the zoo.
11:37Yeah, okay.
11:42What do you think?
11:44You know, I'm going to be back in a little bit.
11:47What?
11:47But Hodge is expecting us for a meeting.
11:49You got this.
11:50You got this.
11:51I got this.
11:55I got this.
11:57I got this.
12:31I got this.
12:33I got this.
12:35I got this.
12:49Last night, I passed a flag called the flyer to bust it out.
13:02Hello?
13:04Is anyone there?
13:16Is anyone there?
13:35So you knew him?
13:36Oof.
13:37I'll never forget Christmas morning, stepping outside the back of the house and seeing old
13:41Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:44Frostbite?
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.
13:59So if he died last Christmas, how is he here on this table?
14:03It's more your department, detective.
14:05I think you'd see it.
14:08Hey.
14:08Hey.
14:10I think I found your gorilla.
14:15I see.
14:16Alright.
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.
14:31Oh yeah, boys.
14:33This is it.
14:35This is it.
14:37Yeah.
14:37That's what I said.
14:38This is it.
14:40This is it.
14:40It's a perfect guy.
14:41You say so, man.
14:43No, no, no, no.
14:47No, no, no.
14:47In the light house.
14:50It's freezing.
14:52Jump's gonna freeze all the years.
14:54No.
14:55You gonna give me an asthma?
14:56Superman doesn't have asthma.
14:59Hey, Superman.
15:01Get the text phone to hold her and see where she is.
15:04Hey, guys.
15:05I think you're sucking in water.
15:11Are you sure?
15:13last christmas i checked the records no mistake it was sure about one i bet the others are
15:18connected too tell me about this other case you can see the dead woman and child with bite marks
15:24killer was uh what'd you call it a gorilla what they steal its banana
15:33i think the cases might be linked how so so at the first scene there was that bed that was
15:39empty
15:39you know i think there was someone there before but somehow they got up
15:45they got away and started killing people
15:52i mean of course it's just a theory yeah yeah well good thing it's just a theory
15:55what am i supposed to do if it's true huh call some ghostbusters hey i'm sure whatever or whoever
16:01this is they are human ghosts can't kill people right right right right yeah
16:10but y'all uh y'all go out and find whoever or uh whatever in this
16:21you think we should call the police leave it here call the cops my brother but after we shoot
16:30this dump is where you chose to film
16:38hey oh i'm sorry no no problem why don't you go home no no i'd like to keep working
16:46take a look at this i discovered that they have acute sensitivity to temperature below 32 degrees
16:55fahrenheit the sample is in a sort of hibernation phase but when it's warmer the sample becomes more
17:03active upon the discovery of a host body it lays eggs like crazy kills the host and then goes to
17:10a
17:10sort of metamorphosis of sorts once it's within comfortable temperature range that's when it
17:16starts reproducing and eventually taking over the host body's entire central nervous system
17:23what does that have to do with temperature well i'm not exactly sure yet i noticed too that when
17:29submerged in water for too long the activities decrease there too but as soon as it is back in
17:35oxygen-rich environments they bounce back in a matter of minutes
17:42ew gross get off me that was great guys oh man i'm out of here i got another gig
17:48you know the film no bachelor at party what the hell that thing it moves its eyes are open
17:57hey hey dude are you okay
18:05morrell biotech claims this samples from the antarctic ice
18:09they're lying there's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in antarctica with its sample
18:15still intact they definitely found a host body they 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 samples cold sensitivity well i need to make sure it's safe first don't
18:31i
18:33the sample is in petri dishes that is as safe as it gets
18:38i'm sorry about your family
18:41maybe you need a break
18:48i wouldn't go in there for a while if i were you guys
18:53guys
19:16get off me
19:28hello
19:30hello
19:31hey oh hold on
19:36holy hell
19:37i just killed superman
19:48weird right
19:49what the hell happened
19:51apparently a guy in the blue speedo just dashed out of the road
19:55fan guy ran him over
19:58what's weird then
19:59looks like he came from that house
20:02you won't believe what's inside
20:09check it out
20:10got the whole superhero crew
20:20same kind of marks the mother and son hit
20:22and there's another big surprise we found just before you got here
20:31he's
20:33it's crazy we found this one floating in the water
20:35you think this is the corpse that escapes
20:37i think so
20:38same outfit
20:39even got the same gown
20:43i'd like to think this one back
20:48compared to the samples that we already have
20:50you know before the evidence gets contaminated
20:53all right albert it's yours
20:59that's
21:00that's
21:00that's
21:08that's
21:10a little superhero orgy
21:12but guess who was here but wasn't in the film
21:14you watched the whole thing didn't you
21:18that'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
21:50play some music
22:07so
22:08okay
22:19I don't know
22:23I gotta jump out
22:29on
22:36I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:39And?
22:40Any useful information?
22:42Not good news.
22:44The bite wounds, including the lethal ones,
22:46will they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car?
22:51I knew it.
22:53Case closed.
22:54No, wait, I don't understand.
22:55How 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.
23:08Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:11Maybe.
23:14Okay.
23:15I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:19Go ahead.
23:20I'll write the report.
23:22You sure?
23:22Go on.
23:23Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:26I'm sorry to hear about this.
23:29How'd you know?
23:31Partners know things.
23:32I'll have fun.
24:07Suspicious 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.
24:29Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:32I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:35I'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.
24:47I'll be right there.
24:47Yeah.
24:48I'm so sorry.
24:49No, it's fine.
24:50Yeah.
24:50Seriously.
24:56What do we got?
24:58Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the toolkit.
25:01It 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.
25:11So I know there goes.
25:12Thanks.
25:13Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:31I don't know who that.
25:33Hands behind your head.
25:39Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:42Journalist.
25:43So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:49Why were you at that house?
25:52I'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,
26:11while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:16They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:21You'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.
26:42We can't let things get out of control.
26:49Are you going to cooperate or what?
26:55Well, then I can assure you,
26:56the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
27:03Collins.
27:06Yeah, you're dating.
27:08He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:10If you didn't know.
27:11Go on.
27:13Why 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 those corpses,
27:28so yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:31All right, you go find Colin.
27:34We can find a way to make him talk.
27:38I 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.
27:56Let's go.
28:09Yes, 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 tongue
28:20safe.
28:21As this cold press moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we'll be getting high here.
28:32Here, 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
28:44to help you figure this out.
28:45I know.
28:46I actually...
28:51Tell 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
29:08from Morrell Biotech.
29:09Morrell Biotech?
29:10Yes.
29:11Why?
29:12Okay, so I looked into this ship.
29:14It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morrell Biotech.
29:18Hmm.
29:21The research project sponsored by Morrell 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 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.
29:52Oh, that's crazy.
29:53Well, I've never done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:58Yeah.
30:00Oh, my God!
30:00What's going on?
30:01I thought he was dead.
30:03Hey, what are you doing?
30:06Hey!
30:10What was that?
30:16I don't know.
30:18Hello?
30:19Professor?
30:22Hello?
30:24What happened?
30:25What happened?
30:25What happened?
30:26What happened?
30:26I didn't know.
30:31Hey!
30:35What the hell are you?
30:37Reagan, we need to get out of here.
30:40Don't come, don't come any closer!
30:45Is it dead?
30:47It's dead already.
30:49It's gone out of here.
31:02911, please record your message.
31:06What the hell happened in there?
31:09Wait, wait a minute.
31:10How is this possible?
31:11These were our samples.
31:13What samples?
31:14The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:17What Antarctic samples?
31:18I'll explain later.
31:19Listen.
31:20Anyone who has contact, especially blood contact, is gonna turn into one again.
31:25Oh my god.
31:26So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:31Did you hear that?
31:32Another one?
31:35What?
31:36What?
31:36What?
31:50Go, go, go, go!
32:02How are we gonna get out of here?
32:04We can't leave, Molly.
32:06Why?
32:07We can't take this.
32:08We can't let them leave.
32:09We might be can take this.
32:12We can't leave.
32:13We can't leave.
32:16We can't leave.
32:18We can't leave.
32:18What do you think this is the reason?
32:19Tough.
32:28Irene?
32:32It sounded like you need a help.
32:38What do you want to do?
32:41Everything.
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.
32:56But 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.
33:08I'm sorry, but why would they try to hide it?
33:12Because they wanted people to believe that Victory was still in service.
33:16What 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
33:25I've ever witnessed.
33:27It was like a massacre had taken place inside, except there were no bodies of the missing
33:33crew.
33:35I kept moving in, and there it was.
33:37It was a large room, and when I pulled the curtain, I opened the gate to help.
33:51When I pulled the curtain, I opened the gate to help.
34:15I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:21So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:27These samples are clearly weaponized.
34:30Who did this?
34:32Wait, what about this guy?
34:37His brother was a microbiologist on Victory.
34:40Edgar.
34:41We investigated the ship together.
34:43Wait, 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 going to 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?
35:01Now that we know what we're dealing with, maybe you could do some more work and come
35:03up with a solution.
35:04Be safe.
35:05And you come with me.
35:06I need your help.
35:07Let's go.
35:18One second.
35:22What's up, Albert?
35:25What do you mean, gone?
35:28I'm on my way.
35:40Albert?
35:55No.
35:56Okay, you've got to deal with them.
35:57It's hard to find these people.
35:59Those got a shot.
36:04Lock it down, people.
36:08He still isn't picking up.
36:10Just keep trying.
36:12Drop your weapon and come out with your ass up.
36:17That's it.
36:21I still don't understand, though.
36:22The corpses in the basement seem fine.
36:25Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:34I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
36:37Is there any answer?
36:38No, it's just not like them to not answer.
36:39Damn it!
36:42I don't trust your weapon!
36:47Run!
36:51How is this possible?
36:53They're exactly the same.
36:58Where'd they go?
37:06Damn it.
37:07Get on the ground!
37:07Hands up!
37:08It's not Rethink!
37:09It's not me!
37:10What?
37:11Ah!
37:12Ah!
37:13Ah!
37:13Ah!
37:22Edgar's gone.
37:24It looks like they came from down this way.
37:26There's an elevator.
37:28Yeah.
37:30That's it.
37:31Those lead to the morgue.
37:32One.
37:51Why are you not answering your phone?
38:11We need to get out of here!
38:18Oh geez..
38:20Hey!
38:20Hey!
38:41Where do you think this goes?
38:42I don't know.
38:43But anything's fine.
38:44It's an afternoon.
38:59I need to call the National Guard.
39:06What?
39:09Who exactly do you work for?
39:20Death.
39:33This is just the beginning.
40:05What was his turn on?
40:05I have a question.
40:05I am feeling it.
40:06I am feeling it.
40:06I am feeling it.
40:08I am feeling it.
40:15I will be feeling it.
40:23I don't know.
