Apocalypse Rising A Zombie Saga
Transcript
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

01:32What's wrong?
01:34Nothing.
01:35If we could pretend that didn't happen, that would be great.
01:39Did I do something wrong?
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.

03:18Bye.
03:19Bye.
03:20Aörm.
03:20Bye.
03:21Bye.
03:22Okay, so you're saying they died within the last three days?
03:26Only need a little time to confirm that.
03:30And the liquids? What are these?
03:34Well, those are all about keeping the bodies fresh.
03:38Keeping a moniker mode of brain activity going on.
03:42So you're saying the bodies are being kept together by someone?
03:46Looks like. My question is why?
03:50Bio experiments or, I 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 more concerned about who they are and how they died.
04:02Well, we're on it.
04:06What is it?
04:12Is this bed empty the whole time?
04:14Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:20Don't bother.
04:22The community is still waiting on repairs from the hurricane.
04:24That was two months ago.
04:26Welcome to the efficiency of the city and poor neighborhoods.
04:28You should know that.
04:30You think we should leave a few officers here to stake out the place for a few days?
04:34That's your call, but I think it's clearly abandoned.
04:36Looks like we have a big problem.
04:38And it's not so abandoned after all.
04:40Low 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
04:42The activity of the sample significantly increases.
04:44Professor, are we starting the live experiment today?
04:46No, I don't think it's a good time.
04:48But according to our agreement with Morel Biotech,
04:50we need to assess the fact that we have a few officers here to stake out the place for a few days.
04:52That's your call, but I think it's clearly abandoned.
04:54Looks like we have a big problem.
04:56I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
04:58Well, they don't need to be straight with us.
05:00The activity of the sample significantly increases.
05:04Professor, are we starting the live experiment today?
05:07No, I don't think it's a good time.
05:10But according to our agreement with Morel Biotech,
05:13we need to assess the sample's golden tolerance as soon as possible.
05:17Listen, I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
05:22Well, 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, all of them.
05:36Don't you think we should travel a little carefully?
05:38I think mice don't have bills to pay or loans to settle.
05:43Once you figure out its parasitic mode, then we'll give the experiment another shot.
05:47What if they pull their funding because of it?
05:50They won't. They need these answers, just like you said.
05:57He's been dead for several days.
06:09Okay, so why no signs of decomposition?
06:12That's because of those things.
06:14Take a look at this.
06:16It's like when he died from crossfire.
06:18Okay, why are we picking up brainwaves, then, of a guy that's been dead for several days?
06:22Not sure.
06:23Is it possible he's still alive?
06:27Yep.
06:28There's a doornail.
06:29Seriously, George.
06:30What?
06:31Oh, come on.
06:32That was awesome, and you know it.
06:37Roger's expecting a report first thing in the morning.
06:39Yeah, I'm gonna get to it later.
06:41I need a break.
06:42Wanna get a drink?
06:43Uh, my son just called, and you know this job's already ruining my marriage.
06:47And you want me to go home smelling like a bar?
06:49My bad, I'm sorry.
06:50It's okay.
06:51You just behave yourself.
06:52Don't I always?
06:54Yeah.
06:59Another one?
07:01Yeah, why not?
07:04Did you eat in the womb tonight?
07:06Slumming it in police bars, now I see.
07:19What can I get for you?
07:21I'll have what he's at me.
07:22So, what are you doing here?
07:24Sounded like you had a pretty big case to run off to this morning.
07:27Yeah, I just had a really stressful day and needed to blow off some steam.
07:31Would you like some help with that?
07:33Would you like some help with that?
07:54Mickey?
07:55Mickey?
07:56Mickey?
07:57Mickey.
07:58Mickey?
07:59Mickey?
08:00Mickey?
08:01Mickey?
08:02No.
08:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
08:06Oh, baby boy.
08:17So, you gonna give me the keys to let me go?
08:22Officer.
08:23Oh, it's detective.
08:24is 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's mickey
08:39for interrogation is detective yeah i think the real interrogation is actually about to start
08:48if you can handle it i think i can get a shot
08:54you're telling me that i got dead bodies with brain waves that we can't even identify
09:19i'm sorry sir look we tapped into the national database and we've got nothing to tell us who
09:23they are no ids no medical records nothing just some marks on their arms we're assuming
09:27are track marks from drug use we gotta keep quiet about this kind of thing okay until
09:32we don't want you wouldn't be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this
09:36town and the election is next month that'll be smart about how we handle this
09:41lord knows what this place will become if jay spencer got the election sir i need to take this
10:01yes where okay what now uh they found two new bodies what fresh ones where down by the lake
10:14well are you coming
10:18looks like it rained pretty hard down here it's gonna be difficult to find any prints or tracks
10:34that is my mother
10:43damn it george i know these two
10:49i was just a kid man i'm so sorry for your loss
11:06this is gonna be really hard

12:25i got this
12:35Last night, I passed the flag.
13:02Hello?
13:15Is anyone there?
13:32So you knew him?
13:50Oof.
13:51I'll never forget Christmas morning, stepping outside the back of the house and seeing
13:55old Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:58Frostbite?
13:59No.
14:00Dead.
14:01Beyond dead.
14:03Must have fell asleep drunk in the dish the night before.
14:07God, 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.
14:19I think you'd see it.
14:20Look.
14:21Hey.
14:22Hey.
14:23I think I found your gorilla.
14:25I see.
14:26All right.
14:27Thanks, buddy.
14:28They're fake plates.
14:29Can't trace anything.
14:30Gosh, you left some men there.
14:31No, it's my fault.
14:32I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:34Oh, yeah, boys.
14:35This is it.
14:36This is it.
14:37Yeah, that's what I said.
14:38This is it.
14:39It's a perfect guy.
14:40You say so, man.
14:42It's freezing.
14:43I don't know what you're saying.
14:44I think I think I should have left some men there.
14:46God, you left some men there.
14:47No, it's my fault.
14:48I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:50Oh, yeah, boys!
14:51This is it.
14:52This is it.
14:53This is it.
14:54Yeah, that's what I said.
14:55This is it.
14:56Perfect guy.
14:57You say so, man.
14:58The kids are alive.
15:00You're so sick.
15:02This is it.
15:03It's freezing.
15:06It's freezing.
15:08Trump's gonna freeze all the years.
15:09Don't, don't get asthma.
15:12Superman doesn't have asthma.
15:14Hey, Superman.
15:17Text the phone call to see where she is.
15:19Hey, guys.
15:20I think you're sucking in the water.
15:27Are 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 in Childhood bite marks.
15:41The killer was, what'd you call it, a gorilla?
15:46What, they steal its banana?
15:49I think the cases might be linked.
15:52How so?
15:53So, at the first scene, there was that bed that was empty.
15:55Now, I think there was someone there before.
15:58But somehow they got up.
16:01They got away.
16:03And started killing people.
16:04I 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.
16:22Right?
16:22Right.
16:23Right.
16:24Right?
16:25Yeah.
16:25But y'all, uh, y'all go out and find whoever, or, uh, whatever it is.
16:37You think I should call the police?
16:38Leave it here.
16:40Call the cops for my brother.
16:41But I have to wish you.
16:42This dump is where you chose to film?
16:55Hey.
16:56Oh.
16:57I'm sorry.
16:59No, no problem.
17:00Why don't you go home?
17:02No, no, I'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
17:27to a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:30Once it's within comfortable temperature range, that's when it starts reproducing and
17:35eventually taking 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.
17:50But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments, they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:57Ew, gross.
18:00Get off me.
18:01That was great, guys.
18:03No, man, I'm out of here.
18:04I got another gig.
18:05No, the film?
18:06No, bachelor's at party.
18:08What the hell?
18:09Throw.
18:10That thing, it moved.
18:11Its eyes are open.
18:14Hey, hey, dude, are you okay?
18:15Oh, my God.
18:17Oh, my God.
18:18Oh, my God.
18:19Morrell 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.
18:37They never should have brought it out of Antarctica.
18:42Antarctica is melting, Professor.
18:44We're going to come into contact with it anyway.
18:46They 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.
19:01I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
19:12Guys?
19:13Get off me!
19:37Oh, come on.
19:38Oh, come on.
19:38Hello?
19:49Hey, oh, hold on.
19:55Holy hell.
19:57I just killed Superman.
20:08Weird, right?
20:10What the hell happened?
20:12Apparently, a guy in the blue Speedo just dashed out into the road.
20:16Fan guy ran him over.
20:18What's weird then?
20:20Looks like he came from that house.
20:22And you won't believe what's inside.
20:30Check it out.
20:31Got the whole superhero crew.
20:38Same kind of marks the mother and son hit.
20:42And there's another big surprise we found just before you got here.
20:53It's crazy.
20:54We found this one floating in the water.
20:56You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:58I think so.
20:59Same outfit.
21:00Even got the same gown.
21:02I'd like to take this one back.
21:08compared to the samples that we already have.
21:10You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
21:13Alright, Albert.
21:14It's yours.
21:19I got some notes to show you.
21:27Wow.
21:28Yeah, whole superhero orgy.
21:31But guess who was here but wasn't in the film?
21:33You watched the whole thing, didn't you?
21:35That's not important.
21:37Guess who?
21:38Superman.
21:39Yeah, I bet one of these guys has a biting fetish.
21:41Yeah, okay.
21:42Then we need to compare traces.
21:43If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:44Let's hope so.
21:45Mm-hmm.
21:46Mm-hmm.
21:47Play some music.
21:48If we're lucky, we'll rep this case today.
21:49Let's hope so.
21:50Mm-hmm.
22:12Play some music.
22:18Oh.
22:27Oh!
22:28What?
22:29God.
22:31Oh, God.
22:34Oh, God.
22:36Oh, God.
22:42Oh, God.
22:44Oh, God.
22:45I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
23:01And?
23:02Any useful information?
23:04Not good news.
23:06The bite wounds, including the lethal ones,
23:08well, they match the dental records of our Superman who got hit by the car.
23:13I knew it.
23:14Case closed.
23:16No, wait, I don't understand.
23:17How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
23:21I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
23:24Yeah.
23:24Was he wearing a red Speedo?
23:26No.
23:27But he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:30Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:33Maybe.
23:36Okay.
23:37I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:41Go ahead.
23:42I'll write the report.
23:43You sure?
23:44Go on.
23:45Oh, and tell your hot date.
23:47Sorry to hear about his...
23:49How'd you know?
23:52Partners know things.
23:53All right.
23:54Thanks for joining us.
23:59I don't know.
24:29Suspicious vehicle found on Dunham Street.
24:33Need to check some plates, please.
24:37Amen.
24:39Amen.
24:41I'm so sorry about your family, Professor.
24:44I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if they could work on the experiment tonight.
24:48Uh, I don't think the call-in is going to be up to doing that today.
24:51Actually, I could use the distraction.
24:56I'll be at the lab later this afternoon.
24:58I'll see you.
24:59Hi, George.
25:05We found the gray sedan.
25:06Yeah.
25:07Plates have been changed, but it's the one.
25:09Just send me the address.
25:10I'll be right there.
25:11Yeah.
25:11I'm so sorry.
25:12No, it's fine.
25:13Yeah.
25:13Seriously.
25:20What have we got?
25:21Well, car's clean, but we found some fingerprints on a wrench in the toolkit.
25:25It belonged to this guy.
25:27Yeah, he served a year in prison for armed robbery, but that's about it.
25:30He could be our guy.
25:31What else do we know about him?
25:33Absolutely nothing.
25:34So I know they're both.
25:35Great.
25:36Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:38I don't know.
25:44Hands behind your head.
25:59Endangered Animal Protection Association.
26:07Journalist.
26:09So what's so newsworthy about her?
26:10Why were you at that house?
26:17I'm not talking without my lawyer.
26:28Rheons.
26:29No way.
26:30This is what led to aggression among the same species.
26:34Rheons cause mutations in the central nervous system, while the toxoplasma keeps the brainstem
26:38and cerebellum connected with the nerves.
26:41They basically created a whole new system within the host organism.
26:46You're a genius.
26:47We've just modified these samples and made them more adaptable to low temperatures.
26:52That's exactly what our sponsor wanted.
26:55But they're prions.
26:56It's going to be more difficult for them to spread if they become cold resistant.
27:05We can't hand them over until the risks are assessed.
27:07We can't let things get out of control.
27:16Are you going to cooperate or what?
27:21Well, then I can assure you, the next 48 hours are going to be pretty rough for you, my friend.
27:26Colin.
27:32Yeah, you're dating.
27:34He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:37If you didn't know.
27:38Go on.
27:39Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:42If you find something very interesting.
27:44Are you going to follow his advice?
27:52You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses, so yeah, it might
27:55not be a bad idea.
27:57All right, you go find Colin.
27:59I'll stay.
28:00Okay.
28:00You can find a way to make him talk.
28:02I don't like this.
28:06It's dangerous.
28:08I can just do everything here myself.
28:09No, we need to get him back to the official lab so Colin can make an assessment.
28:12There's too much research to do to figure out how this happened.
28:16We should have given him Frank instead.
28:17I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
28:20This one is by far the bigger mystery.
28:21Yes, yes, ma'am.
28:37I promise you, if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:40I only want what's best for the citizens, and I will always do what it takes to keep
28:45our town safe.
28:47As this cold press moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week, and we will get
28:50here, take this.
29:02You'll be glad for the caffeine.
29:03Thanks.
29:04You know, you could have told me what was going on, and maybe had some faith in my multiple
29:10PhDs to help you figure this out.
29:12I know.
29:13I actually...
29:19Tell me about her.
29:20She's very smart, very focused, probably the best assistant I've ever had.
29:26How'd you meet her?
29:28About two years ago, she started with the team, and then within two months, she secured
29:33a targeted research sponsorship from Morrell Biotech.
29:36Morrell Biotech?
29:37Yes.
29:38Why?
29:39Okay, so I looked into this ship.
29:41It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morrell Biotech.
29:44Hmm.
29:45I mean, the research project sponsored by Morrell Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples
29:53brought back from Antarctica.
29:54Okay, her and I need to have a conversation.
29:57Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:59Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
30:02I'm sure if the professor calls her, she caught her.
30:05You know, she did say something weird earlier.
30:09Uh, something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
30:13Oh, that's crazy.
30:20Well, I've never, uh, done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
30:26Yeah.
30:27Oh, my God!
30:28What's going on?
30:29Hey!
30:30Hey!
30:31What are you doing?
30:32Hey!
30:33Hey!
30:34Hey!
30:35Hey!
30:36Hey!
30:37Hey!
30:38Hey!
30:39Hey!
30:40Hey!
30:41Hey!
30:42Hey!
30:43What was that?
30:44I don't know.
30:45Hello?
30:46Professor?
30:47Hello?
30:50What happened?
30:52Hey!
30:53Hey!
30:54Hey!
30:55Hey!
30:56Hey!
30:57Hey!
30:58Hey!
30:59Hey!
31:00Hey!
31:01Hey!
31:02Hey!
31:03Hey!
31:04Hey!
31:05Hey!
31:06Hey!
31:07Hey!
31:08Hey!
31:09Hey!
31:10Hey!
31:11Hey, hey, hey, hey!
31:12Is it dead?
31:14It's dead already.
31:32911, please record your message.
31:36What the hell happened in there?
31:38Wait, wait a minute.
31:40How is this possible? These were our samples.
31:42What samples?
31:44The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:46Wait, what Antarctic samples?
31:48I'll explain later. Listen.
31:50Anyone who has contact, especially blood contact,
31:52is going to turn into one of them.
31:54Oh my god. So that's where the lab tech turned.
32:02Remember that?
32:04Another one?
32:06What?
32:08Are we going to get out of here?
32:10We can't leave, Colin.
32:12Why?
32:14How are we going to get out of here?
32:35We can't leave, Colin.
32:36Why?
32:38We can't leave, we can't leave, we can't take this.
32:44What do you think this will be some tough?
32:58Irene?
33:02It sounded like you need a help.
33:10What do you want to know?
33:12Everything.
33:14Four years ago, Victory, the research vessel of Norel Biotech started its two-year voyage in Antarctica.
33:26That's my twin sister.
33:27But what happened to the ship after Antarctica?
33:30It was found tied to a dock in Chile.
33:34Why Chile?
33:35They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died, including my sister.
33:40Sorry, but why would they try to hide it?
33:44Because they wanted people to believe that Victory was still in service.
33:48What happened to it after that?
33:49What happened to it after that?
33:50I found it tied to a dry dock in Savannah, and what I saw in there was the closest thing to hell of everyone's.
33:57It was like a massacre had taken place inside, except there were no bodies of the missing crew.
34:06I kept moving in, and there it was.
34:07I kept moving in, and there it was.
34:08It was a large room, and when I pulled the curtain, I opened the gate to hell.
34:15When I pulled the curtain, I opened the gate to hell.
34:16When I pulled the curtain, I opened the gate to hell.
34:45I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:55So, the original samples were not infectious?
35:00These samples are clearly weaponized.
35:04Wait, what about...
35:08Let's go.
35:10His brother was a microbiologist on Victory.
35:12Edgar.
35:13Edgar, we investigated the ship together.
35:15Wait, so he created those things in his basement?
35:17He upgraded the sample?
35:19There's more?
35:20You know, I bet he knows more than he's letting on about all of this.
35:23Especially those corpses in the basement.
35:25I'm going to head back to the police station.
35:27I'll go with you.
35:28No, I need you to stay here and secure this place until the officers come.
35:30Can you do that?
35:32And you know what, now that we know what we're dealing with,
35:34maybe you could do some more work and come up with a solution.
35:36Be safe.
35:37And you come with me, I need your help.
35:39Go.
35:43And I'll take it.
35:49I'll take it.
35:52Wait a second.
35:53What's up Albert?
35:58What do you mean, gone?!
36:01I'm on my way.
36:04Okay.
36:14Albert?
36:29No. Okay, you gotta deal with them. It's hard to find these people.
36:32We lost our chance.
36:37Lock it down, people!
36:43He still isn't picking up. Just keep trying!
36:47Drop your weapon and come out with your end up!
36:52That's him.
36:56I still don't understand, though. The corpses in the basement seem fine.
36:59Maybe they got treated somehow?
37:09I just wanted to restore it as much as possible.
37:12Is he answering now? He does not like him to not answer!
37:15Dammit!
37:17I don't care if you want this!
37:22Run!
37:26How is this possible?
37:28They're exactly the same.
37:33Where'd they go?
37:34No!
37:41Dammit!
37:42Get on the ground! Hands up!
37:43It's not Rethink! It's not me!
37:44Not me!
38:00Edgar's gone.
38:02It looks like they came from down this way.
38:03There's an elevator.
38:05Yeah, that's it.
38:07Those lead to the morgue.
38:08Those lead to the morgue.
38:28Why are you not answering your phone?
38:29No!
38:30No!
38:31No!
38:32No!
38:33No!
38:34No!
38:36No!
38:37No!
38:38No!
38:39No!
38:40No!
38:42No!
38:44No!
38:45No!
38:46No!
38:48No!
38:49Edgar, we need to get out!
38:50We need to get out of here!
38:51Oh!
38:52You're so good!
38:54No!
38:55No!
38:56No!
38:57Where do you think this goes?
39:21I don't know.
39:22But anything's got anything out there.
39:27I need to call up the National Guard.
39:45What?
39:48Who exactly do you work for?
39:57This is just the beginning.
40:14I don't know.
40:44I don't know.
41:14Whisper!
