Transcript
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
00:57oh
01:04oh
01:09are you leaving what's wrong nothing just if we could pretend that didn't happen that would be
01:36great did I do something wrong I'll see ya see ya you better have a really good I know but it's up to you to
01:57decide whether this is a serious incident or just some crazy prank I thought you might want to come
02:03down and see this
02:33the 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 from
02:49inside the house when the police got here they found the back door wide open like busted out
02:54from the inside yeah here there's nothing this sure they're all dead from a medical perspective yes
03:03when what is this Morse code thing was that telling us that's an AUG it's measuring the brain activity of
03:10the corpses the brain activity yeah that's fascinating actually a brain activity doesn't immediately cease
03:17after death that actually can last up to 72 hours okay so you're saying they died within the last three
03:23days only need a little time to confirm that and the liquids what are these well those are all about
03:34keeping the bodies fresh keeping a monicum of brain activity going on so you're saying the bodies are
03:41being kept here by someone looks like my question is why maybe for some bio experiments or I don't know
03:49black market organ trading or something we might need to consult someone to see what's really going on
03:55here you know I'm more concerned about who they are and how they died well we're on it
04:00what is it is this bed empty the whole time do you think there was someone here before as well
04:14don't bother we need still waiting on repairs from the hurricane that was two months ago welcome to the
04:35efficiency of the city and poor neighborhoods you should know that you think we should leave a few uh officers
04:41here to stick up the place for a few days that's your call but I think it's clearly abandoned looks
04:47like we have a big problem and it's not so abandoned after all low 32 degrees Fahrenheit the activity of
04:56the sample significantly increases professor are we starting the life experiment today no I don't think it's a
05:05good time but according to our agreement with morale biotech we need to assess the samples cold intolerance
05:12as soon as possible listen I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples well um they
05:21don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up right the first round of live experiments
05:25marked out all of our test subjects got one got two all of them don't you think we should tread a little
05:34carefully I think uh mice don't have bills to pay or loans to settle once you figure out it's parasitic
05:41mode then we'll give the experiment another shot what if they pull their funding because of it
05:47they won't they need these answers just like you said he's been dead for several days okay so why no
06:04signs of decomposition that's because of those things take a look at this it's likely he died from
06:12crossfire okay why are we picking up brainwaves then of a guy that's been dead for several days
06:17not sure is it possible he's still alive yep there's a doornail seriously George what oh come on that
06:28was awesome and you know it I was expecting a report first thing in the morning yeah I'm gonna get to
06:35it later I need a break you want to get a drink uh my son just called and you know this job's already
06:42ruining my marriage and you want me to go home smelling like a bar my bad I'm sorry it's okay
06:46you just behave yourself don't I always
06:48another one yeah why not
06:57drink in the womb tonight
07:01slumming it in police bars now I see
07:11what can I get for you
07:14I'll have what he's at me
07:15so what are you doing here sounded 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
07:27don't talk to me
07:28we're not just qué
07:30we're stuck
07:30no no no no no no no
07:53No, no, no, no, no, no!
08:00My baby boy!
08:10So, you gonna give me the keys to let me go?
08:13Officer.
08:15It's Detective.
08:16Oh, alright, Detective.
08:19Keys?
08:20Who's this?
08:21That is my mother and my little brother.
08:26He's adorable.
08:27Yeah.
08:28He's 12.
08:30His name's Mickey.
08:34Poor interrogations, Detective.
08:36I think the real interrogation is actually about to start.
08:39If you can handle it.
08:41I think I can give you a shot.
08:51You're telling me that I got dead bodies with brain waves that we can't even identify?
09:08I'm sorry, sir.
09:10Look, we tapped into the national database, and we've got nothing to tell us who they are.
09:13No IDs, no medical records, nothing.
09:15Just some marks on their arms, or we're assuming they're track marks from drug use.
09:18Ah.
09:20We gotta keep quiet about this kind of thing, okay?
09:22Until we know more.
09:24You wouldn't be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town,
09:26and the election is next month.
09:29Gotta be smart about how we handle this.
09:34Whoa.
09:35What you...
09:36What you got there?
09:38What is that?
09:40What you got there, boy?
09:43What in the world?
09:46Lord knows what this place will become if...
09:48Jay Spencer got the election.
09:50Sir, I need to take this.
09:53Yes?
09:54Where?
09:57Okay.
09:59What now?
10:00Ah, they found two new bodies.
10:02What?
10:03Fresh ones.
10:04Where?
10:05Down by the lake.
10:08Oh, well, are you coming?
10:17Looks like it rained pretty hard down here.
10:20It's gonna be difficult to find any prints or cracks.
10:24...
10:25...
10:26...
10:27...
10:28...
10:29...
10:30...
10:31...
10:32...
10:33...
10:34...
10:35poker.
10:36Damn it, George.
10:38I know these two.
10:39I was just a kid.
10:54Man, I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:56This is going to be really hard, but I need you to live the room for a bit so I can reach my heart.
11:01Come with me, okay?
11:02I need this wrapped up now, all right?
11:11The election is coming up.
11:13People are getting nervous.
11:14With this cliffhanger coming in, we expect it 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?
11:30I don't know.
11:31Albert thinks it could be gorillas.
11:33You're kidding, right?
11:34A gorilla?
11:35Maybe he wants 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.
12:01I got this.
12:23I got this.
12:25Oh
12:48Last item has flag
12:55Hello?
13:03Is anyone there?
13:17Is anyone there?
13:19Is anyone there?
13:21Is anyone there?
13:25Is anyone there?
13:35So you knew him?
13:37Never forget Christmas morning
13:39Stepping outside the back of the house
13:41Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture
13:43Frostbite?
13:45No
13:47Dead
13:49Beyond dead
13:51Must have fell asleep drunk in the dish the night before
13:53God it snowed all night the night before
13:55Took me two hours just to chip him out of the ice
13:57So if he died last Christmas
13:59How is he here on this table?
14:01It's more your department detective
14:03I think you'd see it
14:05Hey
14:07Hey
14:09I think I found your gorilla
14:11I see
14:15Alright, thanks buddy
14:17They're fake plates
14:19Can't trace anything
14:21Gosh, you left some men there
14:23No, 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, that's what I said, this is it
14:39It's a very good guy
14:41You say so, man
14:43Kid's alive
14:45Kid's alive
14:49It's freezing
14:51Junk's gonna freeze off in here
14:53Don't
14:55Superman doesn't have asthma
14:57Hey Superman
14:59Hey Superman
15:01Text the phone number and see where she is
15:03Hey guys, I think you're sucking in the water
15:09Are you sure?
15:11Last Christmas
15:13I checked the records
15:15No mistake
15:16We're sure about one
15:17I bet the others are connected too
15:19Tell me about this other case
15:21You can see the dead woman and child with bite marks
15:24The killer was, what'd you call it?
15:26A gorilla?
15:28What, they steal this banana?
15:32I think the cases might be linked
15:34How so?
15:36So at the first scene there was that bed that was empty
15:38I think there was someone there before
15:40But somehow they got up
15:45They got away
15:46And started killing people
15:52I mean, of course it's just a theory
15:53Yeah, yeah, well good thing it's just a theory
15:55What am I supposed to if it's true, huh?
15:57Call some ghostbusters?
15:58Hey, I'm sure whatever
16:00Or whoever this is
16:01They are human
16:03Ghosts can't kill people
16:05Right?
16:06Right
16:07Right
16:08Y'all uh
16:10Y'all go out and find whoever
16:12Or uh
16:13Whatever
16:14Hit this
16:20You think we should call the police?
16:22Leave it here
16:23Call the cops when I better
16:25But after we shoot
16:26This dump is where you chose to film?
16:37Hey
16:38Oh
16:39I'm sorry
16:40No, no problem
16:42Why don't you go home?
16:44No, no, I'd like to keep working
16:46Take a look at this
16:47I discovered
16:49I discovered
16:50That they have
16:51Acute sensitivity to temperature
16:53Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit
16:55The sample is in a sort of hibernation phase
16:58But
16:59When it's warmer
17:01The sample becomes more active
17:03Upon the discovery of a host body
17:05It lays eggs like crazy
17:07Kills the host
17:08And then goes through a sort of
17:10Metamorphosis of sorts
17:11Once it's within comfortable temperature range
17:14That's when it starts reproducing
17:16And eventually taking over the
17:18Host body's entire central nervous system
17:20Oh my god
17:21What does that have to do with temperature?
17:24Well, I'm not exactly sure yet
17:26I noticed too that when submerged in water for too long
17:29The activities decrease there too
17:31But
17:32As soon as it is back in oxygen rich environments
17:35They bounce back in a matter of minutes
17:41Ew, gross
17:42Get off me
17:43That was great guys
17:45Oh man, I'm out of here
17:46I got another gig
17:47Another film?
17:48Nah, bachelorette party
17:49What the hell?
17:51What's wrong?
17:52That thing, it moves
17:53It's either open
17:54Hey dude, are you okay?
17:56Hey dude, are you okay?
17:58Captain Bolivia
18:05Morel Biotech claims this samples from the Antarctic ice
18:08Mhm
18:09They're lying
18:10There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica
18:14And with the sample still intact
18:16They definitely found a host body
18:19They never should have brought it out of Antarctica
18:22Antarctica is melting professor
18:23We're gonna come into contact with it anyway
18:26They 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.
18:38I'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?
18:56No!
18:57No!
18:59No!
19:01Get off me!
19:13Beep!
19:15Beep!
19:17Get off me!
19:20Beep!
19:23Beep!
19:24Hello?
19:31Hey, oh, hold on.
19:36Holy hell.
19:38I just killed Superman.
19:48Weird, 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.
19:57What's weird then?
19:59Looks like he came from that house.
20:01You won't believe what's inside.
20:09Check it out.
20:10Got the whole superhero crew.
20:13Same kind of marks the mother and son hit.
20:21And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:32It was crazy. We found this one floating in the water.
20:34You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:37I think so.
20:38Same outfit.
20:39Even got the same gown.
20:42I'd like to take this one back.
20:47Compared to the samples that we already have.
20:49You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:52Alright, Albert. It's yours.
20:54I guess I'm out to show you.
20:56Wow.
20:57Yeah, whole superhero orgy.
20:59But guess who was here but wasn't in the film?
21:00You watched the whole thing, didn't you?
21:01It's not important.
21:02Guess who?
21:03Superman.
21:04Yeah, I bet one of these guys has a biting fetish.
21:05Yeah, okay. Then we need to compare traces.
21:06If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:07Let's hope so.
21:08Mm-hmm.
21:09Let's hope so.
21:10Mm-hmm.
21:39Play some music.
22:09I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
22:38And?
22:39Any useful information?
22:41Not good news.
22:42The bite wounds, including the lethal ones.
22:45Well, they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car.
22:50I knew it. Case closed.
22:53No, wait. I don't understand.
22:54How 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?
23:03No.
23:04But he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:07Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:10Maybe.
23:13Okay.
23:14I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:18Go ahead. I'll write the report.
23:20You sure?
23:21Go on.
23:22Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:25Sorry to hear about it.
23:26How'd you know?
23:27Partners know things.
23:28I'll have a phone.
23:33Thanks for listening.
23:34I'm your first time to stop opening up.
23:35No, thank you.
23:36Oh wait, thanks for staying on my way.
23:37Oh wait, thanks for doing this thing.
23:38Hi.
23:39Oh wait, what's up?
23:40I'm gonna get a new one.
23:41Oh wait, what's up?
23:42Oh wait.
23:43Oh wait, what's up?
23:44Welcome back, it's up.
23:45I'm gonna get the new one.
23:46Where's your ass for?
23:47Oh wait, can't you get any other ones?
23:48I'm gonna get the new one?
23:50Oh wait.
23:51Oh wait, I'm gonna get a new one.
23:52Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:10Need to check some plates, please.
24:14Hey, man.
24:15Hey, man.
24:17I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:20I 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.
24:28Actually, 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.
24:56What 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.
25:04He 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.
25:11I saw another guy.
25:12Thanks.
25:13Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:15I don't know.
25:17I don't know.
25:33Hands behind your head.
25:34Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:41Journalist.
25:43So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:45Why were you at that house?
25:51I'm not talking without my lawyer.
25:54Rheons?
25:54No way.
26:01Rheons? No way! This is what led to aggression among the same species. Rheons cause mutations
26:10in the central nervous system, while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem and cerebellum connected
26:14with the nerves. They 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. It'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, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
26:59Colin.
27:03Colin.
27:06Yeah, you're dating.
27:08He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:10If you didn't know.
27:11Go on.
27:12Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:16If you find something, uh, very interesting.
27:18are you gonna follow his advice you know i always thought there was something weird about
27:27this corpse so yeah it might not be a bad idea all right you go find colin you can find a way
27:35to make him talk i don't like this it's dangerous i can just do everything here myself no we need
27:44to get him back to the official lab so colin can make an assessment there's too much research to do
27:48to figure out how this happened we should have given him frank instead i mean he's just been
27:52laying here since he came in this one is by far the bigger mystery
28:09yes yeah 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 tone safe
28:21as this cold present moves away temperatures will start to rise this week and we will get
28:32here take this you'll be glad for the caffeine thanks you know you could have told me what was
28:39going on and maybe had some faith in my multiple phds to help you figure this out i know i actually
28:52tell me about her she's very smart very focused probably the best assistant i've ever had how'd you
28:59meet her about two years ago she started with the team and then within two months she secured a targeted
29:06research sponsorship from morale biotech morale biotech yes why okay so i looked into the ship
29:14it's an antarctic research vessel owned by morale biotech
29:21the research project sponsored by morale biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples back from antarctica
29:27her and i need to have a conversation do you think you can get her to come in yeah i can give her a call
29:34and see if she's available sure if the professor calls her she'll come you know she did say something
29:41weird earlier something along the lines of we can't let things get out of control
29:46oh that's crazy well i haven't never uh done an mri on a dead body before so
29:57uh oh my god oh my god what's going on
30:13what was that i don't know hello professor
30:22hello hey what happened
30:33hey how are you
30:37bregan we need to get out of here
30:39don't come any closer
30:45is it dead
31:03please record your message
31:06what the hell happened in there
31:07okay wait a minute how is this possible these were our samples
31:13samples the body you brought in it got infected by samples from antarctica
31:17they what antarctic samples i'll explain later listen
31:20anyone who has contact especially blood contact is going to turn into one of them
31:25oh my god so that's where the lab tech turned
31:27what's
31:37what's
31:39Oh
32:02How are we gonna get out of here
32:09If we run, we can take this
32:18You think this police?
32:19Tuck
32:27Irene?
32:32It sounded like you need a help
32:34What do you want to know?
32:39Everything
32:41Four years ago
32:43Victory
32:44The research vessel of Morrell Biotech
32:47Started its two year voyage to Antarctica
32:53That'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
33:08Sorry, 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 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
33:35I kept moving in and there it was
33:37It was a large room and
33:39When I
33:40When I
33:41When I pulled the curtain
33:43I opened the gate to help
33:51When I pulled the curtain
33:53I opened the gate to help
34:09I, uh, I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:22So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:27These samples are clearly weaponized.
34:30Who did this?
34:31Wait, what about...
34:35Let's go.
34:36His 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, look, and you know what?
35:01Now that we know what we're dealing with, maybe you could do some more work and come up with a solution.
35:04Be safe.
35:05And you come with me.
35:06I need your help.
35:07Go.
35:18One second.
35:22What's up, Albert?
35:25What do you mean, gone?
35:28I'm on my way.
35:29Albert?
35:40Albert?
35:53Look, you've got to keep an interview with the turn.
35:55No, okay, you got to deal with them. It's harder 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 weapons and come out with your hands up!
36:17That's him.
36:20I still don't understand, though. The 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 he answering? No, he's just not like him to not answer.
36:40Damn it!
36:42Let's just drop your weapons!
36:47Run!
36:51How 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?
37:52Why are you not answering your phone?
37:55I'm not answering your phone.
37:56Maybe if they finally heard or might not help him.
37:58No!
37:58No!
38:06Fucking Verfügung.
38:08No, stupid.
38:12You need to get out of here.
38:14I can't see you in there!
38:41Where do you think this goes?
38:42I don't know
38:43But anything's fine, it's enough
39:00I need to call the National Guard
39:07What?
39:10Who exactly do you work for?
39:13Who exactly did this?
39:14What exactly does this do to you?
39:15I've been competing for fucks
39:16and, as this is my best
39:18I have played for the best
39:19I have played for fucks
39:20You've already been well
39:21I've played for the best
39:22I've played for boys
39:23But I have played for years
39:24I've played for him
39:25I've played for a bit
39:26I've played for a bit
39:27I've played for a bit
39:28This is just the beginning.
39:58This is just the beginning.
40:28This is just the beginning.
40:58This is just the beginning.
