00:00that day I had no idea what kind of hell we were heading into we humans thinking we were so smart
00:15ended up unleashing our own worst nightmares at the beginning it was all about making the world
00:20no no no no no but before we knew it things spun out of control mistakes were made and
00:28well you've seen how it all went down from there
00:31oh my god what's going on
00:58oh
01:01oh
01:03oh
01:07oh
01:11Are you leaving?
01:32What's wrong?
01:34Nothing.
01:35If we could pretend that didn't happen, that would be great.

01:41I'll see ya.
01:43See ya.
01:52You better have a really good...
01:54I know, but it's up to you to decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy prank.
02:03I thought you might want to come down and see this.
02:05I'll see you next time.
02:35I'll see you next time.
02:36I'll see you next time.

03:09Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:11Bye.
03:12Bye.
03:13Bye.
03:14the brain activity yeah fascinating actually a brain activity doesn't
03:19immediately cease after death actually can last up to 72 hours
03:23okay so you're saying they died within the last three days
03:27only need a little time to confirm that
03:32and the liquids what are these well those are all about keeping the
03:36bodies fresh keeping a moniker mode brain activity
03:40going on so you're saying your bodies are being kept here by someone
03:46looks like my question is why maybe for some bio experiments or
03:51i don't know black market organ trading or something
03:54we might need to consult someone to see what's really going on here
03:58you know i'm not concerned about who they are and how they died
04:02well we're on it
04:06what is it
04:11is this vet empty the whole time do you think there was someone here before
04:46place for a few days that's your call but i think it's clearly abandoned
04:50looks like we have a big problem and it's not so abandoned after all
04:57low 32 degrees fahrenheit the activity of the sample significantly
05:02increases professor are we starting the live experiment today
05:07no i don't think it's a good time
05:09but according to our agreement with morel biotech we need to assess the samples
05:14cold intolerance as soon as possible
05:17listen i don't think they're being straight with us about the samples
05:21well um they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up right
05:27the first round of live experiments wiped out all of our test subjects
05:31got one got two
05:33all of them don't you think we should travel a little carefully
05:39i think uh mice don't have bills to pay or loans to settle once you figure out it's parasitic mode
05:45then we'll give the experiment another shot
05:48what if they pull their funding because of it they won't they need these answers just like you said
06:02oh
06:07he's been dead for several days okay so why no signs of decomposition that's because of those things
06:14take a look at this it's like when he died from crossfire okay why are we picking up brainwaves
06:20then of a guy that's been dead for several days not sure is it possible he's still alive
06:25yep there's a doornail seriously george what oh come on that was awesome and you know it
06:37god is expecting a report first thing in the morning yeah i'm gonna get to it later i need a
06:41break you want to get a drink uh my son just called and you know this job's already ruining my
06:47marriage and you want me to go home smelling like a bar okay my bad i'm sorry it's okay you just behave
06:52yourself don't i always yeah another one yeah why not drinking the loom tonight
07:05so what are you doing here sounded like you had a pretty big case to run off to this morning yeah
07:27i just had a really stressful day and needed to blow off some steam would you like some help with that
07:41no no no no no no no no no no baby boy
08:11so you're gonna give me the keys to let me go officer
08:24it's detective oh yeah all right detective keys who's this that is my mother and my little brother
08:34he's adorable yeah he's 12 his name is mickey
08:43poor interrogation is detected i think the real interrogation is actually about to start if you
08:48you can handle it
08:59you're telling me that i got dead bodies with brain waves that we can't
09:14even identify i'm sorry sir look we tapped into the national database and we've got nothing to tell
09:18us who they are no ids no meta records nothing just some marks on their arms we're assuming
09:25are track marks from drug use we gotta keep quiet about this kind of thing okay until we don't want
09:31you would be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town and the election is next
09:37the election is next month gotta be smart about how we handle this
09:44whoa what you what you got there what is that what you got there boy
09:53what in the world lord knows what this place would be common if jay spencer got the election
10:00sir i need to take this yes where okay what now uh they found two new bodies what fresh ones
10:13where down by the lake
10:17well are you coming
10:18well are you coming
10:28looks like it rained pretty hard down here it's gonna be difficult to find any prints or tracks
10:40that is my mother
10:42damn it george i know these two
11:03it's just a kid man i'm so sorry for your loss
11:06yes this is gonna be really hard but i need this wrapped up now all right the election
11:22is coming up people are getting nervous
11:27drop below 32 degrees in the next few days make sure to follow up
11:36no drugs no toxins victims were bitten bitten by what don't know albert thinks it could be gorillas
11:46you're kidding right a gorilla maybe want to escape from the zoo yeah okay
11:55what do you think you know i'm gonna be back in a little bit what but hodge is expecting us for a
12:01meeting we're meeting you got this you got this you got this i got this
12:21i got this
12:31last night
12:59Last night, I passed a flag, called the power to bust it out.
13:14Hello?
13:16Is anyone there?
13:29Is anyone there?
13:32Is anyone there?
13:48So you knew him?
13:50Oof.
13:51Never forget Christmas morning, stepping outside the back of the house and seeing old Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:57Frostbite.
13:58Mmm. No. Dead. Beyond dead.
14:04Must have fell asleep drunk in the dish the night before.
14:07Yeah, it snowed all night the night before.
14:10Took me two hours just to chip him out of the ice.
14:12So if he died last Christmas, how is he here on this table?
14:16It's more your department, detective.
14:18I'll lead you to it.
14:20Good luck.
14:21Hey.
14:22Hey.
14:23I think I found your gorilla.
14:29I see.
14:31Alright, thanks buddy.
14:34They're fake plates.
14:35Can't trace anything.
14:37Gosh, you left some men there.
14:39No, it's my fault.
14:40I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:47Oh yeah, boys.
14:49This is it.
14:50This is it?
14:52Yeah.
14:53It's a very good guy.
14:54You say so, man.
14:55Kids alive.
14:56It's freezing.
14:57Chum's gonna freeze off in here, man.
14:58Let's go.
14:59Let's go get asthma.
15:00Superman doesn't have asthma.
15:01Hey Superman.
15:02Hey Superman.
15:04Text one more to see where she is.
15:05Hey guys, I think you're sucking in the water.
15:14Are you sure?
15:24Are you sure?
15:29Last Christmas?
15:31I checked the records.
15:32No mistake.
15:33We're sure about one.
15:34I bet the others are connected too.
15:36Tell me about this other case.
15:39It's the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:41The killer was, what'd you call it, a gorilla?
15:45What, they steal its banana?
15:49I think the cases might be linked.
15:52How so?
15:52So at the first scene, there was that bed that was empty.
15:55I think there was someone there before.
15:58But somehow they got up.
16:01They got away.
16:03And started killing people.
16:09I mean, of course, it's just a theory.
16:10Yeah, yeah, well, good thing it's just a theory.
16:12What am I supposed to do if it's true, huh?
16:13Call some ghostbusters?
16:15Hey, I'm sure whatever or whoever this is, they are human.
16:20Ghosts can't kill people, right?
16:22Right.
16:23Right.
16:24Right?
16:24Yeah.
16:26Y'all, uh, y'all go out and find whoever or whatever it is.
16:37Is that because you called the police?
16:38Leave it here.
16:40Call the cops when I order it.
16:41But after we shoot.
16:42This dump is where you chose to film?
16:55Hey.
16:56Oh.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:59No, no problem.
17:01Why don't you go home?
17:02No, no.
17:03I'd like to keep working.
17:04Take a look at this.
17:07I discovered that they have acute sensitivity to temperature.
17:12Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
17:16But when it's warmer, the sample becomes more active.
17:22Upon the discovery of a host body, it lays eggs like crazy, kills the host, and then goes
17:27through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:29Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and eventually
17:35taking over the host body's entire central nervous system.
17:38Oh, my God.
17:41What does that have to do with temperature?
17:43Well, I'm not exactly sure yet.
17:45I noticed, too, that when submerged in water for too long, the activities decrease there,
17:49too.
17:49But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments, they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:59Ew.
18:00Gross.
18:00Get off me.
18:01That was great, guys.
18:03Oh, man.
18:04I'm out of here.
18:04I got another gig.
18:05Another film?
18:06No.
18:06Bachelorette party.
18:08What the hell?
18:09What's wrong?
18:10That thing, it moved.
18:11Its eyes are open.
18:14Hey, hey, dude.
18:15Are you okay?
18:15Oh, my God.
18:18What is this?
18:18Morrell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice?
18:28Mm-hmm.
18:29They're lying.
18:30There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica with its sample still intact.
18:36They definitely found a host body.
18:39They never should have brought it out of Antarctica.
18:42Antarctica is melting, Professor.
18:44We're going to come into contact with it anyway.
18:45They just want us to fix the sample's cold sensitivity.
18:48Well, I need to make sure it's safe first, don't I?
18:52The sample is in Petri dishes.
18:55That is as safe as it gets.
18:57I'm sorry about your family.
19:00Maybe you need a break.
19:02I'm sorry about your family.
19:03I'm sorry about your family.
19:04I'm sorry about your family.
19:05I'm sorry about your family.
19:06I'm sorry about your family.
19:07I'm sorry about your family.
19:08I'm sorry about your family.
19:09I'm sorry about your family.
19:10I'm sorry about your family.
19:11I'm sorry about your family.
19:12I'm sorry about your family.
19:13I'm sorry about your family.
19:14I'm sorry about your family.
19:15I'm sorry about your family.
19:16I'm sorry about your family.
19:17I'm sorry about your family.
19:18I'm sorry about your family.
19:19I'm sorry about your family.
19:20I'm sorry about your family.
19:21I'm sorry about your family.
19:22I'm sorry about your family.
19:23I'm sorry about your family.
19:24I'm sorry about your family.
19:25I'm sorry about your family.
19:26Get off me!
19:41Hello?
19:45Hey, hold on.
19:52Holy hell.
19:54I just killed Superman.
19:56What the hell happened?
19:57Apparently, a guy in the blue Speedo just dashed out into the road, and a fan guy ran him
20:14over.
20:15What's weird then?
20:17Looks like he came from that house, and you won't believe what's inside.
20:24Check it out.
20:25Got the whole superhero crew.
20:31Same kind of marks the mother and son head.
20:37Same kind of marks the mother and son head.
20:39And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:44It's crazy.
20:45We found this one floating in the water.
20:46You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:47I think so.
20:48Same outfit.
20:49Even got the same gown.
20:50I'd like to take this one back.
20:51compared to the samples that we already have.
20:52You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:53All right, Albert.
20:54It's yours.
20:55Got some else to show you.
20:56Got some else to show you.
20:57Wow.
20:58Whole superhero orgy.
21:00I'd like to take this one back.
21:05Compared to the samples that we already have.
21:07You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
21:10Alright Albert, it's yours.
21:16I guess I'm out to show you.
21:25Wow.
21:26Yeah, whole superhero orgy.
21:28But guess who was here but wasn't in the film?
21:31You watched the whole thing, didn't you?
21:35It's not important.
21:36Guess who?
21:37Superman.
21:39Yeah, I bet one of these guys is a biting fetish.
21:42Yeah, okay. Then we need to compare traces.
21:44If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:46Let's hope so.
21:47Mhm.
21:58Play some music.
22:11Yeah.
22:12Oh my God.
22:13I'm going to try.
22:14I'm going to try.
22:16What?
22:17Oh.
22:18I'm going to try.
22:19Maybe I'm going to try.
22:20I don't know.
22:50I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:58And?
22:59Any useful information?
23:01Not good news.
23:03The bite wounds, including the lethal ones,
23:05will they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car?
23:10I knew it.
23:12Case closed.
23:13No, wait, I don't understand.
23:14How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
23:16I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
23:21Yeah.
23:21Was he wearing a red Speedo?
23:23No.
23:24But he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:27Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:30Maybe.
23:33Okay.
23:34I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:38Go ahead.
23:39I'll write the report.
23:40You sure?
23:41Go on.
23:42Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:45I'm sorry to hear about this.
23:48How'd you know?
23:49Partners know things.
23:51All right.
23:52I'll be in the way.
24:02No, I can't.
24:03I can't.
24:05I can't.
24:19I can't.
24:20Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:30You need to check some plates, please.
24:34Hey, man.
24:36Hey, man.
24:38I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:41I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if they could work on the experiment tonight.
24:45Uh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:48Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:53I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:55I'll see you.
25:01Hi, George.
25:02We found the gray sedan.
25:03Yeah.
25:04Plates have been changed, but it's the one.
25:06Just send me the address. I'll be right there.
25:08Yeah.
25:08I'm so sorry.
25:09No, it's fine.
25:10Yeah.
25:10Seriously.
25:17What have we got?
25:18Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the tool kit.
25:22It belonged to this guy.
25:24He served a year in prison for armed robbery, but that's about it.
25:27He could be our guy.
25:29What else do we know about him?
25:30Absolutely nothing.
25:31So I know there's both.
25:32Thanks.
25:33Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:35I don't know.
25:55Hands behind your head.
25:56Endangered Animal Protection Association.
26:04Journalist.
26:05So what's so newsworthy about her?
26:07Why were you at that house?
26:14I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:16I don't know.
26:25Rheons.
26:26No way.
26:28This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:31Rheons cause mutations in the central nervous system, while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem
26:35and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:37They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:43You're a genius.
26:44We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:49That's exactly what our sponsor wanted.
26:52But they're prions.
26:54It's going to be more difficult for them to spread if they become cold resistant.
27:02We can't hand them over until the risks are assessed.
27:04We can't let things get out of control.
27:07Are you going to cooperate or what?
27:18Well, then I can assure you, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you,
27:23my friend.
27:27Colin.
27:29Yeah, you're dating.
27:31He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:34If you didn't know.
27:35Go on.
27:36Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:39If you find something very interesting.
27:47Are you going to follow his advice?
27:49You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses, so yeah, it might
27:52not be a bad idea.
27:53All right, you go find Colin.
27:56Stay.
27:57Okay.
27:58You can find a way to make him talk.
28:02I don't like this.
28:03It's dangerous.
28:05I can just do everything here myself.
28:06No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
28:10There's too much research to do to figure out how this happened.
28:13We should have given him Frank instead.
28:14I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
28:16No, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
28:18Yes, yes, ma'am.
28:34I promise you, if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:36I only want what's best for the citizens, and I will always do what it takes to keep
28:42our town safe.
28:44As this cold front moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we will get
28:47a happy ending.
28:56Here, take this.
28:59You'll be glad for the caffeine.
29:00Thanks.
29:01You know, you could have told me what was going on and maybe had some faith in my
29:06multiple PhDs to help you figure this out?
29:09I know.
29:10I actually...
29:13Tell me about her.
29:17She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
29:23How'd you meet her?
29:25About two years ago, she started with the team, and then within two months, she secured a target
29:31research sponsorship from Morel Biotech.
29:33Morel Biotech?
29:35Yes.
29:35Why?
29:36Okay, so I looked into this ship.
29:38It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morel Biotech.
29:42Hmm.
29:45The research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples
29:50cut back from Antarctica.
29:53Her and I need to have a conversation.
29:56Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:57Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:59Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll call her.
30:02You know, she did say something weird earlier.
30:07Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
30:10Oh, that's crazy.
30:19Well, I've never, uh, done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
30:24Oh my god!
30:26What's going on?
30:27Oh my god, he was dead.
30:28What?
30:29Tank, what was he doing?
30:32Tank?
30:34What was that?
30:41I don't know.
30:44Hello?
30:45Professor?
30:45Hello?
30:47What happened?
30:57Hey!
30:59Where the hell are you?
31:01Brayden, we need to get out of here.
31:05Don't move! Don't come any closer!
31:09Is it dead?
31:11It's dead already.
31:159-1-1, please record your message.
31:31What the hell happened in there?
31:35Wait, wait a minute.
31:37How is this possible? These were our samples.
31:39What samples?
31:41The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:43Wait, what Antarctic samples?
31:45I'll explain later.
31:47Listen, anyone who has contact, especially blood contact,
31:49is going to turn into one of them.
31:51Oh my god.
31:53So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:59Remember that?
32:01Another one?
32:03How are we gonna get out of here?
32:05We can't leave.
32:07Oh
32:30How are we gonna get out of here
32:37If we weren't we could take this
32:55Irene?
32:59It sounded like you need a help
33:07What do you want to know?
33:09Everything
33:11Four years ago
33:13Victory, the research vessel of Morrell Biotech
33:17Started its two-year voyage in Antarctica
33:23That's my twin sister
33:25But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
33:27It was found tied to a dock in Chile
33:31Why Chile?
33:33To hide the fact that the entire crew had died
33:35Including my sister
33:37Sorry, but
33:39Why would they try to hide it?
33:41Because they wanted people to believe that
33:43Victory was still in service
33:45What happened to it after that?
33:47I found it tied to a dry dock in Savannah
33:49And what I saw in there
33:51It was the closest
33:53It was like a massacre had taken place inside
33:59Except there were no bodies of the missing crew
34:01I kept moving in and there it was
34:05It was a large room
34:07And when I
34:09When I pulled the curtain
34:11I opened the gate to help
34:13Help
34:23When I pulled the curtain
34:25I opened the gate to help
34:29Help
34:35Help
34:37Help
34:40Help
34:41Help
34:42Help
34:43I, uh, I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:52So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:57These samples are clearly weaponized.
35:01Wait, what about...
35:05Let's go.
35:07His brother was a microbiologist on victory.
35:10Edgar.
35:11We investigated the ship together.
35:12Wait, so he created those things in his basement?
35:15He upgraded the sample?
35:17There's more?
35:18You know, I bet he knows more than he's letting on about all of this.
35:21Especially those corpses in the basement.
35:23I'm gonna head back to the police station.
35:25I'll go with you.
35:25No, I need you to stay here and secure this place until the officers come.
35:28Can you do that?
35:30Okay.
35:30Look, and you know what, now that we know what we're dealing with,
35:32maybe you could do some more work and come up with a solution.
35:34Be safe.
35:35And you come with me, I need your help.
35:37Go.
35:42What's up, Albert?
35:57What do you mean, gone?
36:00I'm on my way.
36:01It's hard to find these people.
36:30Lost on Chucks.
36:35Lock it down, people!
36:41He still isn't picking up.
36:42Just keep trying!
36:45Drop your weapons!
36:46You'll come out with your handcuffs!
36:49That's it.
36:53I still don't understand, though.
36:54The corpses in the basement seem fine.
36:57Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:59No.
37:06I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
37:09Is he answering, though?
37:10He does not like him to not answer!
37:11Dammit!
37:14I don't take your weapons!
37:23How is this possible?
37:25They're exactly the same.
37:30Where'd they go?
37:37Dammit.
37:38Get on the ground! Hands up!
37:39It's not Rethink!
37:40It's not me!
37:41It's not Rethink!
37:42It's not me!
37:44Edgar's gone!
37:45It looks like they came from down this way.
37:47There's an elevator.
37:48Yeah.
37:49That's it.
37:50Those lead to the morgue.
37:51Those lead to the morgue.
37:56Edgar's gone.
37:58It looks like they came from down this way.
38:00There's an elevator.
38:01Yeah.
38:02That's it.
38:03Those lead to the morgue.
38:05Why are you not answering your phone?
38:06No!
38:07No!
38:08No!
38:09No!
38:10No!
38:11No!
38:12No!
38:13No!
38:14No!
38:15No!
38:16No!
38:17No!
38:18No!
38:19No!
38:20No!
38:21No!
38:22No!
38:23No!
38:25Why are you not answering your phone?
38:26My phone!
38:56Where do you think this goes?
39:18I don't know.
39:19Anything's going to happen out here.
39:26I need to call the National Guard.
39:42What?
39:45Who exactly do you work for?
39:56This is just the beginning.
40:26I don't know.
40:56I don't know.
