FunTranscript
00:00After the initial outbreak in 2020, the COVID virus starts to mutate, making it impossible to
00:05find a cure. The mortality rate rises to 56% and the global death count reaches 110 million people.
00:11Only a few immune citizens are allowed to leave their homes as long as they wear the bracelet
00:14that marks them as such. Everyone is forced to do temperature checks on their cell phones every
00:18morning and anyone with even a slight fever is set away to quarantine zones known as Q-Zones.
00:22Rumors said nobody has come back from them. By 2024, society has been under lockdown for four
00:27years. Nico is immune to the virus so he's been working as a delivery guy. One morning he brings
00:32a package to a wealthy house that assigns threatening to shoot trespassers. He rings the bell and the
00:37client scolds him through the speaker before asking him to put the package in a box developed by the
00:40Department of Sanitation. This box cleans the package before sending it inside. The client refuses to tip
00:46Nico because he's late and says that he wants a different delivery guy next time. Nico thinks the
00:50man just hates him out of envy. In a warehouse, Nico's boss Lester runs the courier company and
00:55keeps an eye on his employees by following them around with drones and GPS. Lester notices that
00:59Nico isn't moving so he video calls him and discovers he's taking a break by playing some
01:03basketball. Nico is scolded for ignoring priority deliveries and sent back to work. Meanwhile Emma
01:08spends her day watching videos online. When her mother Piper wakes up, Emma asks her if a friend
01:13can come over. Piper refuses because it's not safe for Emma's autoimmune disorder. They both take the
01:18virus test and pass it without issues so Emma yells at her dad to remind him to take it too.
01:22William is exercising while watching the news about a newly opened queue zone. Reports say that the
01:27conditions in those zones are barbaric. Hearing his daughter's call, William rushes to take a test
01:31and also passes. At that moment Nico arrives with some packages and Emma is excited to just look at
01:36a different person for a change. Nico puts the delivery in the sanitation box and is very grateful
01:41to find a generous tip. After leaving Emma's house, Nico sits on a roof for another break. He video calls
01:46his girlfriend Sarah to show her the wonderful view, which is tainted by Lester's huge billboard.
01:50Sarah shares the view with her grandmother Rita since neither of them can leave the apartment.
01:54In fact, Nico and Sarah haven't met in person and only have virtual dates. At the same time,
01:59Lester receives a message from a client because Nico hasn't shown up. He immediately calls drone
02:04operator Dozer and asks him to find Nico. The drone don't take long to locate Nico and Muster
02:08texts him, saying he has eyes on him. Nico just gives the camera the finger and keeps moving,
02:13only to suddenly find a checkpoint. Soldiers point their guns at him so he quickly shows them
02:17his bracelet and they let him pass. Once all the deliveries of the day are done, Nico goes home
02:21and washes thoroughly. Then he works on his bike and finally finishes repairing it, getting excited
02:25to just hear the engine. Nico has been saving money to escape with Sarah to Big Sur, an area in
02:30California that hasn't had a case in six months. Now he just needs to get an illegal bracelet for
02:35Sarah. In the meantime, Piper gets a call from a friend who wants to make a trip beyond the city
02:39limits and knows that she has the illegal means to get them there. Piper charges $300,000 for the service
02:44and
02:44texts Samet, per contact in the Department of Sanitation. The next day, Nico sneaks into an
02:49abandoned building and finds the office he used to work at. He fools around for a while and is
02:53happy to find a box of pencils. Meanwhile singer Mae is live streaming for her followers. Dozer sent
02:58her $100 and tells her that her songs helped him during his military days. Mae sings his request,
03:03which is also being watched by William and Sarah. However Lita isn't a fan of such sad songs and wishes
03:08they could listen to some salsa instead. At that moment Nico comes to their apartment with a special
03:12delivery. Sarah opens the sanitation box and finds a poem from Nico plus the pencils.
03:17These mean a lot to her since she's an artist. They promise each other to kiss one day, but their
03:21sweet chat is interrupted by a call from Lester who tells Nico to get back to work. After the stream
03:26is
03:26over, Mae messages Dozer to thank him for the big donation and convinces him to do a video call.
03:30She offers to be a friendly ear so Dozer explains he's been in lockdown since before COVID.
03:35He became wheelchair bound during the war and when he came home, people ignored him like they always do
03:39with disabled people, so eventually he stopped leaving the house. He hasn't been outside for
03:43six years. Dozer shows Mae as drone and confirms that things are as bad out there as the media says.
03:48That night, Emmett finds a man who escaped from the Q-Zone. The guy schwares his queen,
03:52but Emmett pulls out a knife and stabs him to death. In the meantime, Nico sets up a projector in
03:57his
03:57yard to play a movie for his virtual date with Sarah. They're interrupted by Vida, who says she's
04:02going sick and starts coughing. Sarah touches her forehead and confirms she has a fever.
04:06In just two seconds, the Department of Sanitation surrounds the building.
04:09The agents ring Sarah's bell but she ignores them, so they start pounding on the door and
04:13get ready to bring it down. However Emmett arrives and tells them they have the wrong department.
04:17Sarah watches on the security cameras how the agents break into her neighbor's place and try
04:21to arrest her. The desperate neighbor comes to Sarah's door and begs for help,
04:24so Sarah considers opening it. However Nico convinces her to keep quiet for the sake of her own safety.
04:29The agents capture the woman and quickly take her away. Then Emmett rings Sarah's bell and says he
04:34knows she's there, so Sarah is forced to answer. Emmett informs her that there have been many cases
04:38in this building and asks her she's left the apartment. Sarah swears she hasn't, so Emmett
04:42leaves. Afterward Sarah covers her whole body and brings some medicine to Vida, who keeps telling
04:47her to stay away from her. Nico soon makes it to the apartment, but he and Sarah keep talking
04:51through their screens. Sarah tells him that Vida has a fever so she won't pass the test in the morning,
04:56which means the agent will take both of them. Refusing to abandon Sarah now, Nico spends the night
05:00sitting outside Sarah's door and they chat about their favorite memories together. Meanwhile William
05:04puts on an oxygen mask and tries to leave the house, what he's caught by Piper. He swears that
05:09he has a work meeting but Piper doesn't believe him and points out that every time he leaves,
05:13he brings Skilf to their daughter. William reminds her that his job is keeping them fed,
05:16so Piper reluctantly lets him go and tells him to burn his clothes when he comes back.
05:20Then Piper checks on Emma, who thinks your dad is doing something very dangerous.
05:24She calls herself weak and asks if her mother wishes she were different,
05:27but Piper swears she's perfect the way she is. Minutes later William meets with May,
05:31who has put on a disguise and a mask to be with him as usual. However William is tired of
05:35the masks
05:35and removed them before they do the dirty. When William comes home, Piper watches him burn his
05:40clothes. The next morning Sarah does the virus test on her phone. She passes the test, but Vida
05:45doesn't so the app says the agents will be there soon. Nico wakes up outside and overhears everything
05:49so he asks Sarah to escape together. However Sarah refuses to abandon Vida and tells him to leave
05:54without her. Nico promises he'll find a solution and rushes out of the building while Sarah has a
05:58break down. On his way out, Nico calls Lester and asks for two immunity passes. Lester can't help
06:03but tells him that Piper and William can, revealing that the packages he's been delivering are the
06:07illegal bracelets. After stopping at his house to get his savings, Nico rushes to the mansion and
06:12talks to the couple to ask for help. William pretends he doesn't know what he's talking about and
06:15hangs up. Then he and Piper have an argument, since only trustworthy people in their network are
06:20supposed to know about their business but someone seems to have leaked the information. Desperate to
06:24clean the mess, Piper tells Nico that William was just being cautious and asks him who told him
06:28about them. Nico claims that nobody did, he only guessed because they're rich and could have
06:32connections. Piper pretends she has no bracelets left but gives him an address where he can get
06:36them. While Nico rushes to the location on his bike, Sarah checks on Vida, who tells her a few
06:40final words full of love before dying. Eventually Nico makes it to an abandoned building and meets Emmett,
06:45who shows him his computer and asks for the identities of the people Nico wants to help to program the
06:49bracelets. Nico is hesitant to say so much so Emmett swears he's on his side and offers his hand as
06:54a
06:54gesture of good faith. When Nico shakes it, Emmett stabs him and demands to know the names of the
06:58infected people. An angry Nico headbutts him to free himself and checks the box connected to the
07:03computer, only to find it empty. It turns out Piper sent him to a trap. Emmett calls his guards so
07:08Nico runs up the stairs while his wound continues to bleed. The guards soon open fire and Nico has to
07:12hide behind some machinery while sneaking around the room. When he finds a can, he throws it in the opposite
07:17direction as a distraction. However the guards follow the noise and find him anyway. When they're
07:21about to arrest him, Boomer suddenly appears behind them and knocks two men out before taking their
07:25gun and dragging Nico away. On their way out, Boomer explains he's tired of Emmett's men leaving
07:30bodies in his building so he started to rebel against them. Soon two more guards appear, so the
07:35duo hides and Boomer opens fire. The guards take cover too and carefully sneak around to try to find
07:39them. Boomer manages to bring a guard down by hitting him with a refrigerator door and Nico smacks the
07:43other one with a pipe to knock him out. An alarm goes off and Nico runs downstairs, but Boomer stays
07:48to fight. While Nico leaves on his bike, William calls Lester and demands to know where Nico is.
07:53Lester claims Nico isn't working today but William doesn't believe him, so Lester instead lies and
07:58says Nico turned off his GPS. After they hang up, William tells Piper that Lester definitely spilled
08:03their secret. Nico goes home to take care of his wound and gets a call from Sarah, who tells him
08:07Rita is
08:08dead. Overwhelmed with guilt, Nico apologizes for not getting the passes in time and tells her to hide when the
08:13agents come for her. Meanwhile Mae and Dozer still chat since they've become very good friends.
08:17Mae shares that William is a former record executive who promised to make her a star.
08:21He took her to that motel right before the pandemic started, so she got trapped there and he's been
08:25using her. She has a breakdown as she explains how lonely she is and how she has no future since
08:30obviously there won't be a record in her career. At that moment she gets a message from William saying
08:34he wants to see her tonight. Mae doesn't answer him so he starts spamming her with texts.
08:38Dozer notices Mae's distress and encourages her to stand up for herself. Mae tells William that
08:43she doesn't want to see him anymore and that only makes William send her even more messages.
08:46He also keeps calling her, so Mae eventually picks up to break up with him face to face.
08:50When William insists, Mae reveals she is taped of and promising black market immunity passes.
08:55If he doesn't leave her alone, she'll post the videos online. All this is overheard by Piper
09:00outside her husband's office. A furious William hangs up and goes to get his gun, only to find it gone.
09:05Piper appears next to him with a gun in her hands and reveals she's always known about his affair.
09:09She doesn't care if William has a lover, but she wants to protect her daughter and William keeps
09:13putting her at risk with his estipades. William tries to top things out but Piper points the gun
09:17at him and takes him out of the house. Then Piper calls Mae and tells her to run because William
09:21is
09:21coming for her. Mae immediately calls Dozer, who agrees to let her stay with him.
09:26Nico arrives at the mansion at the same time William is leaving in his car, so he sneaks through the
09:30open
09:30door. Luster sees Nico's location on the GPS and calls Piper to warn her. At the same time the
09:35department of sanitation surrounds Sarah's building so she tries to call Nico, but he ignores his phone
09:39to avoid getting caught. Sarah then takes a picture of the sanitation truck. Emma and his agents reach
09:44Sarah's door and break it down. Sarah hides in her bedroom and when an agent comes looking for her,
09:49she knocks him out by hitting him with a bat. Then she takes his hazmat suit and puts it on.
09:53The mask keeps her face hidden so she can pretend to be an agent. She helps the others move
09:57Lita's body in a bag and leaves the apartment without suspicion. While Nico sneaks around the mansion
10:01looking for bracelets, Piper hides Emma in the bathroom. Then she confronts Nico and points the
10:06gun at him, scolding him for exposing her daughter. Nico explains he's also trying to save a loved one
10:11and swears he hasn't told anyone about her business, he just wants a bracelet. Piper takes pity on him
10:15and pulls out her computer to program the pass with Sarah's information, which takes a couple of
10:19minutes. At the motel, Mae tries to lead in her car but it won't start. At that moment William arrives
10:24and pounds on her window to break it. He grabs Mae by the neck and tries to get her out
10:28while choking
10:28her. Suddenly Dozer's drone appears above them and shoots William in the head to kill him.
10:33Mae screams and watches the drone fly away in shock while Dozer texts her that he'll always protect
10:37her. Once Lita's body is in the sanitation truck, Sarah waits until everyone is distracted and runs
10:41away. In the apartment, Emmett finally finds the unconscious agent and tells the guards to look
10:46for a fugitive. Minutes later when Sarah makes it to the road, she's surrounded by the department
10:50of sanitation. Emmett removes her mask and calls her stupid for running. She's been locked up with Lita all
10:55this time so as she was infected too, she would already be showing symptoms. That means she's
10:59immune, so Sarah wants freedom. However Emmett makes the agents arrest her anyway. Moments later
11:04Nico bursts into the apartment but only finds Emmett, who shares his story. He used to drive garbage
11:09trucks for the department of sanitation, but all his superiors started to die off so he became the
11:13leader. Emmett thinks Nico isn't aware of how lucky they are to be immune because it means they've
11:17become gods. They can go around the city and do whatever they want without consequences.
11:21Suddenly Emmett pulls out his knife and tries to attack Nico, who takes Sarah's pencil to stab
11:26Emmett in the neck first. Emmett stumbles around the room for a few minutes before bleeding to death.
11:30On his way out Nico finds Sarah's phone and sees the photo of the sanitation truck.
11:34He calls Lester and says that he owes him one for telling on him, so Lester asks for the truck's
11:38ID
11:38number and contacts Dozer to start the search using the drone. In just a few minutes, Dozer finds the
11:43truck arriving at the nearest Q zone. Nico drives as fast as possible and arrives just in time to see
11:48Sarah being dragged out of the truck. The guards get ready to open fire, but Sarah frees herself
11:53to meet him halfway and Nico manages to put the bracelet on her wrist. When the agents grab Sarah
11:57again, Nico points at the bracelet and the agents scan it to confirm she's immune. They have no
12:01choice but let her go. Now Sarah and Nico can finally hold hands and share their first kiss.
12:06Three months later, Mae is lodged dreaming safely from her own home. Dozer finally removes the paper from
12:11his windows because he feels alive again and invites Mae to go to the beach by showing her the views
12:15on
12:15his drone. On the news, William and Emmett are being exposed for their crimes thanks to Mae's videos
12:20and now Piper's house is being investigated. Piper lets her off her maid and sends her home to her
12:24family. Meanwhile Lester receives a package with a letter from Nico, who confirms he and Sarah
12:28have escaped safely. Inside the package, there's an immunity bracelet.
