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
01:08you 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 non-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
02:04so
02:13so
02:17Homeowners have 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 inside the house.
02:50When the police got here, they found the back door wide open, like busted out from the inside.
02:55When we got here, there's nothing but this.
02:58Are we sure they're all dead?
03:01From a medical perspective, yes.
03:04What is this Morse code thing? What is that telling us?
03:07That's an AUG. It's measuring the brain activity of the corpses.
03:10The brain activity?
03:12Yeah, it's fascinating, actually.
03:14Brain activity doesn't immediately cease after death. It actually can last up to 72 hours.
03:20Okay, 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?
03:31Well, those are all about keeping the bodies fresh. Keeping a moniker more brain activity going on.
03:39So you're saying the bodies are being kept together by someone?
03:43Looks like. My question is why?
03:46Maybe 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? Do you think there was someone here before as well?
04:15Don't bother.
04:29Community is 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.
04:59Professor, are we starting a live experiment today?
05:03No, I don't think it's a good time.
05:06But according to our agreement with Morell Biotech, we need to assess the sample's cold intolerance as soon as possible.
05:13Listen, I don't think they're being straight with us about the samples.
05:18Well, um, they don't need to be straight with us as long as they pay up, right?
05:23The first round of live experiments wiped out all of our test subjects.
05:28Got one, got two, all of them.
05:33Don't you think we should try it a little carefully?
05:35I think, uh, 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.
05:44What if they pull their funding because of it?
05:46They won't. They need these answers. Just like you said.
05:50He's been dead for several days.
06:03Okay, so why no signs of decomposition?
06:05That's because of those things.
06:07Take a look at this.
06:09It's likely he died from crossfire.
06:12Okay, why are we picking up brainwaves, then, of a guy that's been dead for several days?
06:16Not sure.
06:18Is it possible he's still alive?
06:21Yep. There's a doornail.
06:24Seriously, George.
06:25What?
06:26Oh, come on. That was awesome and you know it.
06:29Roger's expecting a report first thing in the morning.
06:34Yeah, I'm gonna get to it later. I need a break.
06:37Wanna get a drink?
06:38Uh, my son just called.
06:40And you know this job's already ruining my marriage.
06:42And you want me to go home smelling like a bar?
06:44Okay, my bad. I'm sorry.
06:45It's okay. You just behave yourself.
06:47Don't I always?
06:48Yeah.
06:49Another one?
06:51Yeah.
06:52Why not?
06:53Do you want me to go home tonight?
06:56Slumming it in police bars now I see.
07:11What can I get for you?
07:13I'll have what he's at me.
07:15So, what are you doing here?
07:17Sounded 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.
07:25Would you like some help with that?
07:28I need you to make some pain.
07:30Be running away.
07:31I'm a hot 911.
07:32I can't go home anymore.
07:33I can't sleep.
07:34I'm a hot 911.
07:35I can't sleep.
07:36I can't sleep.
07:37I can't sleep.
07:38I can't sleep.
07:39I can't sleep.
07:40I can't sleep.
07:41Oh, my god.

08:18keys who's this that is my mother and my little brother yeah he's 12 his name is mickey
08:31poor interrogations detective i think the real interrogation is actually about to start if you
08:40can handle it
08:42you're telling me that i got dead bodies with brain waves that we can't even identify
09:09i'm sorry sir look we tapped into the national database and we've got nothing to tell us who
09:13they are no ids no medical records nothing just some marks on their arms we're assuming
09:17your track marks from drug use we got to keep quiet about this kind of thing okay until we
09:22don't want you would be surprised how something like this can affect a vote in this town and
09:27the election is next month that'll be smart about how we handle this
09:31oh what you got there what is that what you got there boy
09:41lord knows what this place will become if jay spencer got the election sir i need to take this
09:51yes where okay what now uh they found two new bodies what fresh ones where down by the lake
10:05well are you coming
10:09looks like it rained pretty hard down here it's gonna be difficult to find any prints or tracks
10:22that is my mother
10:31damn it george i know these two

12:43I don't know.
13:13Is anyone there?
13:19So you knew him?
13:35Oof.
13:36I'll never forget Christmas morning.
13:39Stepping outside the back of the house and seeing old Frank there frozen like an ice sculpture.
13:43Frostbite?
13:44No.
13:45Dead.
13:46Beyond dead.
13:47Must 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, how is he here on this table?
14:01It's more your department, detective.
14:02I'll get you to it.
14:03Hey.
14:04Hey.
14:05I think I found your gorilla.
14:08I see.
14:09Alright.
14:10Thanks buddy.
14:11They're fake plates.
14:12Can't trace anything.
14:13Gosh, you left some men there.
14:14No, it's my fault.
14:15I mean, I never thought they'd come back.
14:17Oh yeah, boys.
14:18This is it.
14:19This is it?
14:20Yeah, that's what I said.
14:21This is it.
14:22It's very big, right?
14:23You say so, man.
14:24It''s freezing.
14:25aliont's gonna freeze all of a year.
14:27God nothing laughs oh, don't try it right?
14:29You did these here nice andoya out in the cave.
14:33Well, I know.
14:33You mean people more?
14:34No, I never thought they'd come back?
14:35Oh yeah.
14:36Oh yeah boys.
14:37This is it.
14:38This is it?
14:39Yeah, this is what I said, this is it.
14:40Sam's very good, right?
14:41If you say so, man.
14:45Kindilla items.
14:47It's freezing.
14:52Jump's gonna freeze all the years.
14:54Don't give me an asthma.
14:56Superman doesn't have asthma.
14:59Hey, Superman.
15:02Text the phone number and see where she is.
15:04Hey, guys.
15:05I think you're sucking in the water.
15:11Are you sure?
15:13Last Christmas?
15:14I checked the records.
15:15No mistake.
15:16It was 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.
15:36How 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.
15:43They got away and started killing people.
15:48I mean, of course, it's just a theory.
15:54Yeah, yeah.
15:54Well, 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.
16:10All right, y'all go out and find whoever or whatever.
16:15Get this.
16:15You think we should call the police?
16:23Leave it here.
16:24Call the cops when we're better.
16:26But after we shoot...
16:28This dump is what you chose to film?
16:37Hey.
16:39Oh.
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,
17:09and then goes through a sort of metamorphosis of sorts.
17:12Once it's within comfortable temperature range,
17:15that's when it starts reproducing and eventually 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,
17:31the activities decrease there, too.
17:33But as soon as it is back in oxygen-rich environments,
17:37they bounce back in a matter of minutes.
17:38Ew, gross. Get off me.
17:44That was great, guys.
17:46Oh, man, I'm out of here. I got another gig.
17:48Another film?
17:49No, a bachelorette party.
17:51What the hell?
17:52What's wrong?
17:53That thing, it moves.
17:54It's either open.
17:57Hey, hey, dude, are you okay?
17:58Morrell Biotech claims this sample's from the Antarctic ice.
18:08Mm-hmm.
18:09They're lying.
18:11There's no way they would stumble upon a chunk of ice in Antarctica with its sample still intact.
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.
18:26They 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.
18:45Woo!
18:48I wouldn't go in there for a while if I were you guys.
18:53Guys?
18:56Get off me!
19:18Get 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.
20:02You won't believe what's inside.
20:04Check 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.
20:24It was crazy.
20:34We found this one floating in the water.
20:36You think this is the corpse that escapes?
20:37I 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.
20:49You know, before the evidence gets contaminated.
20:53All right, Albert.
20:54It's yours.
21:00I guess I'm not to show you.
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?
21:16It's not important.
21:20Guess who?
21:21Superman.
21:23Yeah, 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.
21:46Play some music.
21:51Play some music.
22:21I 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,
22:45will 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.
22:55How did he get involved with the corpses in the basement?
22:59I ran into that guy in that house, remember?
23:01Yeah. Was he wearing a red Speedo?
23:04No, but he was also more filled out than your Speedo guy.
23:08Maybe they have another accomplice.
23:11Maybe.
23:13Okay, I need a hot shower and a hot date after today.
23:19Go ahead. I'll write the report.
23:21You sure?
23:22Go on.
23:23Oh, and uh, tell your hot date.
23:25I'm sorry to hear about it.
23:29How'd you know?
23:30Partners know things.
23:32I's sitting here?
23:33He's talking to the owner of the Heimann and the other one.
23:36I'm sorry.
23:37I'm sorry.
23:38I don't know.
23:39I'm sorry.
23:40I'm sorry.
23:41I'm sorry.
23:42You're sorry.
23:43I'm sorry.
23:44No.
23:45I didn't know.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:47You're sorry.
23:48I'm sorry.
23:49You're sorry.
23:50I'm sorry.
23:51Alright,pen-
23:52We're sorry.
23:53Suspicious 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.
24:21I know it's kind of soon, but I was wondering if it could work in the equation.
24:23I 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.
24:51What 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.
25:11Sign up there, guys.
25:12Thanks.
25:13Let's go see if anyone's seen him at that hotel over there.
25:15I don't know.
25:33Hands behind your head.
25:34Endangered Animal Protection Association.
25:42Journalist.
25:43So what's so newsworthy about her?
25:49Why were you at that house?
25:52I'm not talking without my lawyer.
25:54You're a genius.
26:22We'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.
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.
26:49Are 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.
27:03Colin.
27:04Yeah, you're dating.
27:08He's an expert in toxoplasmosis.
27:10If you didn't know.
27:11Colin.
27:12Why don't you show them the corpses you found in the basement?
27:16If you find something very interesting.
27:24Are you going to follow his advice?
27:26You know, I always thought there was something weird about those corpses.
27:28So yeah, it might not be a bad idea.
27:29All right, you go find Colin.
27:33I'll stay.
27:34I can find a way to make him talk.
27:38I don't like this.
27:40It's dangerous.
27:42I 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.
27:50We should have given him Frank instead.
27:51I mean, he's just been laying here since he came in.
27:53Nah, this one is by far the bigger mystery.
27:55Let's go.
27:59Yes, ma'am.
28:11I promise you, if re-elected, I will make sure that happens.
28:15I only want what's best for the citizens.
28:17And I will always do what it takes to keep our town safe.
28:21As this cold press moves away, temperatures will start to rise this week.
28:24Here, take this.
28:34You'll be glad for the caffeine.
28:36Thanks.
28:37You 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.
28:45I know.
28:46I...actually.
28:51Tell me about her.
28:53She's very smart.
28:55Very focused.
28:57Probably the best assistant I've ever had.
28:59How'd you meet her?
29:00About two years ago, she started with the team.
29:03And then, within two months, she secured a targeted research sponsorship from Morel Biotech.
29:09Morel Biotech?
29:10Yes.
29:11Why?
29:12Okay, so I looked into this ship.
29:14It's an Antarctic research vessel owned by Morel Biotech.
29:18Hmm.
29:21The research project sponsored by Morel Biotech was to test the toxoplasma samples brought back from Antarctica.
29:29Her and I need to have a conversation.
29:32Do you think you can get her to come in?
29:33Yeah, I can give her a call and see if she's available.
29:36Sure, if the professor calls her, she'll call her.
29:38You know, she did say something weird earlier.
29:43Something along the lines of, we can't let things get out of control.
29:51Oh, that's crazy.
29:53Well, I've never done an MRI on a dead body before, so...
29:58Oh my god!
30:00What's going on?
30:01I thought he was dead.
30:03Hey, what are you doing?
30:06Hey!
30:07Hey!
30:08Don't go!
30:09Oh my god!
30:11Oh my god!
30:15What the f*** was that?
30:16I don't know.
30:18Hello?
30:19Professor?
30:22Hello?
30:23What happened?
30:24What the hell are you?
30:37Reagan, we need to get out of here.
30:40Don't move, don't come any closer!
30:43Is it dead?
30:47It's dead already.
30:48It's dead.
30:499-1-1, please record your message.
31:06What the hell happened in there?
31:09Wait, wait a minute.
31:10How is this possible?
31:12These were our samples.
31:13What samples?
31:14The body you brought in, it got infected by samples from Antarctica.
31:17What Antarctic samples?
31:18I'll explain later.
31:19Listen.
31:20Anyone who has contact, especially blood contact, is going to turn into one of them.
31:25Oh my god.
31:26So that's where the lab tech turned.
31:31Can you do that?
31:33Another one?
31:35What?
31:36Go on.
31:39Ah!
31:42Pfft!
31:42How are we going to get out of here?
32:04We can't leave, Colin!
32:05Why?
32:06We can't take this!
32:08Oh!
32:08We can't leave, family!
32:09We won't be can take this!
32:18What do you think this is really some tough?
32:27Irene?
32:28It sounded like you need a help.
32:38What do you want to know?
32:40Everything.
32:42Four years ago, victory.
32:45The research vessel of Norrell Biotech
32:48started its two-year voyage in Antarctica.
32:54That's my twin sister.
32:56What happened to the ship after Antarctica?
32:58It was found tied to a dock in Chile.
33:02Why Chile?
33:03They wanted to hide the fact that the entire crew had died, including 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 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 when I...
33:41When I pulled the curtain,
33:43I opened the gate to hell.
33:45I opened the gate to hell.
33:51When I pulled the curtain,
33:53I opened the gate to hell.
33:55I got bitten, but I didn't turn.
34:07So, the original samples were not infectious?
34:25These samples are clearly romanized.
34:29Who did this?
34:31Wait, what about...
34:33Let's go.
34:35This guy.
34:37His brother was a microbiologist on victory.
34:39Edgar.
34:40We investigated the ship together.
34:42Wait, so he created those things in his basement?
34:44He upgraded the sample?
34:46There's more?
34:47You know, I bet he knows more than he's letting on about all of this.
34:50Especially those corpses in the basement.
34:52I'm gonna head back to the police station.
34:54I'll go with you.
34:55No, I need you to stay here and secure this place until the officers come.
34:58Can you do that?
34:59Okay.
35:00Look, and you know what?
35:01Now 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.
35:06I need your help.
35:07Let's go.
