Short filmTranscript
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
00:20it was all about making the world but before we knew it things spun out of
00:27control mistakes were made and you've seen how it all went down from there
00:57hmm
01:04hmm
01:06hmm
01:09you leaving what's wrong nothing just if we could pretend that didn't happen that would be great
01:36did I do something wrong I'll see ya see ya
01:42you better have a really good excuse for calling me not stop on a weekend I know but it's up to you to decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy prank I thought you might want to come down and see this
02:06I don't know
02:08I don't know
02:10I don't know
02:12The homeowner has been deceased for almost two years.
02:42And the house has been vacant ever since.
02:44Last night, a passerby called the police saying they heard some creepy banging and screaming coming inside the house.
02:49When the police got here, they found the back door wide open, like busted out from the inside.
02:54When we got here, there's nothing but this.
02:57Are we sure they're all dead?
03:00From a medical perspective, yes.
03:03What is this Morse code thing? What is that telling us?
03:06That's an AUG. It's measuring the brain activity of the corpses.
03:10The brain activity?
03:12Yeah, it's fascinating actually.
03:14A brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death.
03:17It actually can last up to 72 hours.
03:19Okay, so you're saying they died within the last three days?
03:23Well, we need a little bit of time to confirm that.
03:27And the liquids, what are these?
03:32Well, those are all about keeping the bodies fresh.
03:34Keeping a moniker of brain activity going on.
03:38So you're saying the bodies are being kept here by someone?
03:42Looks like. My question is why?
03:45Maybe for some bio experiments or, I don't know, black market organ trading or something.
03:51We might need to consult someone to see what's really going on here.
03:55You know, I'm more concerned about who they are and how they died.
03:59Well, we're on it.
04:03What is it?
04:05Is this bed empty the whole time?
04:11Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:14What's the matter?
04:28Don't bother.
04:30The community's still waiting on repairs from the hurricane.
04:32That was two months ago.
04:34Welcome to the efficiency of the city and poor neighborhoods.
04:37We should know that.
04:39You think we should leave a few officers here to stick up the place for a few days?
04:42That'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,
05:09we need to assess the sample's cold intolerance as soon as possible.
05:14Listen, I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
05:18Well, they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up, right?
05:23The first round of live experiments marked out all of our test subjects.
05:28Got one, got two.
05:32All of them.
05:33Don't you think we should tread a little carefully?
05:35I think 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, just like you said.
05:50He'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 crossfire.
06:13Okay, why are we picking up brainwaves, then, of a guy that's been dead for several days?
06:17Not sure.
06:17Is it possible he's still alive?
06:22Yep.
06:23There's a door now.
06:24Seriously, George.
06:25What?
06:26Oh, come on.
06:27That was awesome, and you 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.
06:42You want me to go home smelling like a bar?
06:44My bad.
06:45I'm sorry.
06:45It's okay.
06:47You just behave yourself.
06:48Don't I always?
06:49Yeah.
06:54Another one?
06:56Yeah.
06:57Why not?
07:00Drinking a loom tonight?
07:01Slumming 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?
07:18Sounded 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.
07:24Would you like some help with that?
07:27Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:57No, no, no, no.
08:00My baby boy.
08:10So, you're going to give me the keys to let me go?
08:13Officer.
08:15It's Detective.
08:16Oh, yeah, all right, Detective.
08:19Keys.
08:20Who's this?
08:22That is my mother and my little brother.
08:25For me, he's adorable.
08:27Yeah, he's 12.
08:30His name's Mickey.
08:34Poor interrogation is detected.
08:36I think the real interrogation is actually about to start.
08:39If you can handle it.
08:41I think I need a shot.
08:42You're telling me that I got dead bodies with brainwaves that we can't even identify?
09:09I'm sorry, sir.
09:10Look, 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.
09:19Ah.
09:19We've got to keep quiet about this kind of thing, okay, until we don't want it.
09:24You wouldn't be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town, and the election is next month.
09:29We've got to be smart about how we handle this.
09:34Whoa.
09:35What you got there?
09:37What in the world?
09:46Lord knows what this place will become if J. Spencer got the election.
09:50Sir, I need to take this.
09:53Yes?
09:55Where?
09:57Okay.
09:59What now?
10:00Ah, they found two new bodies.
10:02What?
10:03Fresh ones.
10:04Where?
10:04Down by the lake.
10:07Oh, well, are you coming?
10:16Looks like it rained pretty hard down here.
10:20It's going to be difficult to find any prints or tracks.
10:29That is my mother.
10:35Damn it, George.
10:37I know these two.
10:50I was just a kid.
10:54Man, I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:56This is going to be really hard, but I think you'll leave the room for a bit so I can finish my report.
11:01Come with me, okay?
11:08I need this wrapped up now, all right?
11:10The election is coming up.
11:12People are getting nervous.
11:13No drugs, no toxins.
11:27Victims were bitten.
11:29Bitten by what?
11:30Dunno.
11:31Albert thinks it could be gorillas.
11:33You're kidding, right?
11:34A gorilla?
11:35Maybe you want to escape from the zoo.
11:36Yeah, 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.
11:56I got this.
12:26I got this.
12:56I got this.
13:26So 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.
13:44No.
13:45Dead.
13:45Beyond dead.
13:51Must 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.
14:05I'll get you to it.
14:06Hey.
14:07Hey.
14:08Hey.
14:09I think I found your gorilla.
14:15I see.
14:16All right.
14:16Thanks, buddy.
14:16They're fake plates.
14:19I can't trace anything.
14:21I can'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.
14:26Oh, yeah, boys.
14:34This is it.
14:35This is it.
14:37Yeah, that's what I said.
14:38This is it.
14:40It's perfect, right?
14:41You say so, man.
14:47It's freezing.
14:52Jump's gonna freeze all the years.
14:54Hey, guys, I think there's something in the water.
15:11Are you sure?
15:13Last Christmas?
15:14I checked the records.
15:15No mistake.
15:16We're sure about one.
15:18I bet the others are connected, too.
15:20Tell me about this other case.
15:22You can see the dead woman and child with bite marks.
15:25The killer was, what'd you call it, a gorilla?
15:29What, they steal its banana?
15:33I think the cases might be linked.
15:35How so?
15:37So at the first scene, there was that bed that was empty.
15:39I think there was someone there before.
15:41But somehow they got up.
15:45They got away.
15:47And started killing people.
15:48I 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, right?
16:06Right.
16:07Right.
16:08Right?
16:09Yeah.
16:09Y'all, uh, y'all go out and find whoever, or, uh, whatever.
16:15Hit this.
16:21You think we should call the police?
16:23Leave it here.
16:24Call the cops when I better.
16:26But after we shoot.
16:30This dump is where you chose to film?
16:32Hey.
16:38Oh.
16:39I'm sorry.
16:41No, no problem.
16:43Why don't you go home?
16:44No, no, I'd like to keep working.
16:47Take a look at this.
16:49I discovered that they have acute sensitivity to temperature.
16:54Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the sample is in a sort of hibernation phase.
16:58But, when it's warmer, the sample becomes more active.
17:04Upon the discovery of a host body, it lays eggs like crazy, kills the host, and then goes
17:10through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:13Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and
17:17eventually taking over the host body's entire central nervous system.
17:21Oh my god.
17:23What does that have to do with temperature?
17:26Well, I'm not exactly sure yet.
17:27I noticed too that when submerged in water for too long, the activities decreased there
17:32too.
17:33But, as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments, they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:42Ew.
17:43Gross.
17:43Get off me.
17:44That was great, guys.
17:46Oh man, I'm out of here.
17:47I got another gig.
17:48Another film?
17:49No, a bachelor at party.
17:51What the hell?
17:52What's wrong?
17:53That thing, it moves.
17:54It's either open.
17:55Oh.
17:56Hey, hey, hey dude, are you okay?
18:05Morrell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice.
18:08Mm-hmm.
18:10They're lying.
18:11There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica with its sample still
18:15intact.
18:16They definitely found a host body.
18:20They never should have brought it out of Antarctica.
18:23Antarctica is melting, Professor.
18:24We're going to come into contact with it anyway.
18:27They just want us to fix the sample's cold sensitivity.
18:29Well, I need to make sure it's safe first, don't I?
18:33The sample is in petri dishes.
18:35That is as safe as it gets.
18:37I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
18:53Guys?
18:54Get off me!
19:18Hello?
19:30Hey, oh, hold on.
19:36Holy hell.
19:38I just killed Superman.
19:40Weird, right?
19:49What the hell happened?
19:51Apparently, a guy in the blue speedo just dashed out into the road.
19:55Fan guy ran him over.
19:58What's weird then?
19:59Looks like he came from that house.
20:00You won't believe what's inside.
20:09Check it out.
20:11Got the whole superhero crew.
20:20Same kind of marks the mother and son had.
20:22And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:30It was crazy.
20:34We found this one floating in the water.
20:36You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:38I think so.
20:39Same outfit.
20:40Even got the same gown.
20:43I'd like to think this one back.
20:47Compared to the samples that we already have.
20:50You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:53All right, Albert.
20:54It's yours.
20:55Yes, I'm not sure.
21:08Wow.
21:09Yeah, a whole superhero orgy.
21:12But guess who was here but wasn't in the film?
21:14You watched the whole thing, didn't you?
21:18It's not important.
21:20Guess who?
21:21Superman.
21:21Yeah, I bet one of these guys is a biting fetish.
21:26Yeah, okay.
21:27Then we need to compare traces.
21:28If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:30Let's hope so.
21:31Mm-hmm.
21:31Play some music.
21:51Let's hope so.
22:16Boom.
22:17I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:38And?
22:39Any useful information?
22:41Not good news.
22:43The bite wounds, including the lethal ones, will they match the dental records of the
22:47one of our Superman who got hit by the car?
22:50I knew it.
22:52Case closed.
22:53No, wait, I don't understand.
22:55How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
22:59I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
23:01Yeah.
23:02Was 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.
23:10Maybe.
23:13Okay.
23:14I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:18Okay.
23:19Go ahead.
23:20I'll write the report.
23:21You sure?
23:22Go on.
23:23Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:25Sorry to hear about it.
23:26How'd you know?
23:30Partners know things.
23:31I'll call you.
23:32All right.
23:33All right.
23:34All right.
23:35All right.
23:36All right.
23:37All right.
23:38All right.
23:39All right.
23:40Hey.
23:41Hey, how'd I move?
23:42All right.
23:43All right.
23:44Damn.
23:45All right.
23:46And he was watching a little boog.
23:47All right.
23:48Well, I'll try to see a little bit.
23:49All right.
23:50All right.
23:51Everything will try to be nice.
23:52All right.
23:53What the hell is going?
23:54Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:10Need to check some plates, please.
24:14Amen.
24:15Amen.
24:17I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:21I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if they could work on the experiment tonight.
24:24Uh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:28Actually, 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.
24:46Just send me the address. I'll be right there.
24:47Yeah.
24:48I'm so sorry.
24:49No, it's fine.
24:50Yeah.
24:50Seriously.
24:54What 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 goes.
25:12Thanks.
25:13Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:15I don't know who that.
25:33Hands behind your head.
25:39Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:42Journalist.
25:42So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:49Why were you at that house?
25:52I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:03Brions.
26:04No way.
26:06This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:08Brions 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.
26:21You're a genius.
26:23We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:27That'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.
26:44Are 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, my friend.
26:59Colin.
27:00Yeah, you're dating.
27:01He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:02If you didn't know.
27:03Go on.
27:04Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:05If you find something very interesting.
27:06Are you going to follow his advice?
27:07You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses, so yeah, it might
27:10not be a bad idea.
27:11All right, you go find Colin.
27:32It'll stay.
27:33And then I'll go find Colin, I can find a way to make him talk.
27:40I don't like this.
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.
27:49We should have given him Frank instead. I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:53Nah, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
27:56Yes, yes ma'am. I promise you if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:14I 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'll be getting high here.
28:31Here, take this. You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:35Thanks.
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.
28:44I know, I actually...
28:50Tell me about her.
28:52She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
28:58How'd you meet her?
28:59About two years ago she started with the team and then within two months she secured a targeted research sponsorship from Morel Biotech.
29:08Morel Biotech?
29:09Yes. Why?
29:11Okay, so I looked into this ship. It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morel Biotech.
29:17Hmm.
29:18The research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples brought back from Antarctica.
29:27Okay, her and I need to have a conversation. Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:32Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:35Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll come.
29:38You know, she did say something weird earlier. Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
29:51Oh, that's crazy.
29:53Well, I've never, uh, done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:59Oh my god! What's going on?!
30:01I thought he was 10!
30:0210, what are you doing?!
30:0510?
30:0610!

30:15What the f*** was that?
30:16I don't know.
30:18Hello? Professor?
30:21Hello?
30:23Hey! What happened?!
30:32Hey!
30:35Where the hell are you?
30:37Regan, we need to get out of here.
30:39Don't! Don't come any closer!
30:45Is it dead?
30:46He's dead already!
30:47He's dead already!
31:02911, please record your message.
31:05What the hell happened in there?!
31:08Wait, wait a minute.
31:10How is this possible?
31:11These were our samples.
31:12What samples?
31:13The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:16Wait, what Antarctic samples?
31:17I'll explain later.
31:18Listen.
31:19Anyone who has contact, especially blood contact, is going to turn into one of them.
31:24Oh my god.
31:25So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:31Did you hear that?
31:32Another one?
31:33And what?
31:34What?
31:35RUN!
31:36RUN!
31:37RUN!
31:38RUN!
31:39No!
31:41What the f*** are they going to do?
31:42RUN!
31:43GO!
31:44GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!
31:58How are we going to get out of here?
32:04We can't leave, Colin.
32:06Why?
32:07We can't take this.
32:08We can't let them leave.
32:09We won't be can take this.
32:18Do you think this is the police?
32:27Irene?
32:28It sounded like you need a help.
32:38What do you want to know?
32:40Everything.
32:42Four years ago,
32:44Victory,
32:45the research vessel of Morrell Biotech
32:47started its two-year voyage
32:50to Antarctica.
32:54That's my twin sister.
32:55But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
32:57It was found tied to a dock in Chile.
33:02Why Chile?
33:03They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died,
33:06including my sister.
33:07I'm sorry,
33:09but 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 the savannah,
33:21and what I saw in there was the closest thing to hell I've ever witnessed.
33:27It was like a massacre had taken place inside,
33:31except there were no bodies of the missing crew.
33:33I kept moving in and there it was.
33:37It was a large room,
33:39and when I pulled the curtain,
33:42I opened the gate to hell.
33:45...
33:54...
33:55...
33:56...
33:57...
33:58...
34:03...
34:06...
34:07I, uh, I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:21So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:27These samples are clearly recognized.
34:30Who did this?
34:31Wait, what about...
34:34Let's go.
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, now that we know what we're dealing with,
35:02maybe you could do some more work and come up with a solution.
35:04Be safe.
35:05And you come with me, I 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.
35:29Okay.
35:29Albert?
35:53Look, you're good.
35:53No, okay, you gotta deal with them. It's hard to find these people.
35:59Lost on Chucks.
36:04Lock it down, people!
36:08He still isn't picking up.
36:10Just keep trying!
36:12Drop your weapon!
36:14Come out with your hands up!
36:17That's him.
36:20I still don't understand, though.
36:22The corpses in the basement seemed fine.
36:25Maybe they got treated somehow?
36:34I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
36:37Is he answering? I would just not like him to not answer.
36:40Damn it!
36:42I still can't use your weapon!
36:47Run!
36:48How is this possible?
36:53They're exactly the same.
36:58Where'd they go?
37:06Damn it.
37:06Get on the ground! Hands up!
37:08It's not Rethink! It's not me!
37:09Edgar'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.
37:32Why are you not answering your phone?
37:52No!
37:53No!
37:54No!
37:54No!
37:54No!
37:55No!
37:55No!
37:56No!
37:56No!
37:57No!
37:58No!
37:58No!
37:59No!
37:59No!
38:00No!
38:00I love you!
38:03No!
38:05No!
38:10No!
38:20Oh my God!
38:21Oh my God!
38:23Oh my God!
38:23Where do you think this goes?
38:42I don't know.
38:43But anything's fine.
38:44I've been out here.
38:53I need to call the National Guard.
39:06What?
39:09Who exactly do you work for?
39:23This is just the beginning.
39:53I don't know.
40:23I don't know.
