The Terror Experiment (2010) - full transcript

They'll label me a terrorist,

but I'm a patriot.

( distant people chattering )

We have to take
back this country,

shine a light
so that its darkest secrets

will scatter like roaches.

When these clandestine
operations are exposed,

you'll see the CCA
for what it really is--

men and women
who love this country

too much to see it fail,

people who want to be free.



I don't want to die,

but if that makes you see
the truth,

then so be it.

I hope this makes you think.

I hope it changes your life.

Man over P.A.:
This is a security lockdown.

Please remain
at your workstations.



This is a security lockdown.
Please remain at your
workstations.

The authorities are on the way.

Hey, shouldn't you be doing
something about this?

( growling )

- Man: This is a security
- You're all right.

- Please remain at your
workstations.
- You're all right.

- ( alarm buzzing )
- ( distant horns honking )

( alarm stops )

Woman:
Allie, Allie, stop it.

Allie:
But I can help you.

Woman:
No, you can't.

Dad lets me help him.

Well, Daddy also
doesn't do anything

but look at
a computer all day.

All right?

- ( teapot whistling )
- Go get your shoes for me,
sweetie,

please, so we can get out
of here. Thank you.

Have fun, okay?
Promise?

Hi.

( music playing over P.A. )

( security wand beeping )

Guard:
Raise your arms slightly.

Good morning,
Mr. Milner.

What do you guys do when
somebody brings in a weapon?

Everything's gonna
be fine, Mr. Milner.

Because everybody's always
who they appear to be?

Merry Christmas, sir.

Raise your arms slightly.

( door lock beeps )

Female voice: Floor one.

First day
in the building?

Cell phones don't
work in here--

some sort
of security thing.

It'll be a paperweight

till we get back down
to the lobby.

Thanks.

No problem.

First days
are always tough.

I'm just visiting.

Good for you.

I never get
to go anywhere.

I just sit
in my cubicle

every day.

Female voice: Floor six.

Nice talking to you.

Oh. Sorry.

Wrong floor.

For a birthday party?

How did you guess?

What kind of cake
is it?

The kind with icing.

Mother: Keep an eye
on her today, okay?

Woman:
Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, you know.

Just, you know, she's trying
to get any excuse to stay home.

Woman: That's just normal
separation anxiety.

I think if she stayed here
more consistently, though...

Yeah, don't get me
started on that.

I promise she's safe here,
Mrs. Milner.

Please don't call
me that.

Sweetie,

I gotta go.

- You be a good girl, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

- Promise?
- Mm-hmm.

- 'Cause Santa's watching you.
- Mm-hmm.

- Love you.
- Love you, too.

Okay, Allie,
say bye to your mom.

Mother: Bye.

Female voice:
Floor four.

( Christmas music playing )

- Hi.
- Hi.

How is she?

Do me a favor, Cale,

don't let her
stay with you at work.

It makes me the bad guy.

It helps her learn.

Yeah, how to pull the fire alarm
pulls on every floor.

She remembered that?

She asked if she could pull one
and then we could all go home.

That's my girl.

You're not helping.

Female voice:
Floor six.

Cale: I'll try to be
a better dad, Carol.

Excuse me.

Female voice:
Floor 10.

Hey, George, what's up?

We got an email
outage on seven,

a problem workstation on 11,
and a bunch of newbies to train.

You want me to
take the outage?

Until you get some help.
Then I'm gonna need you on 11.

- Okay.
- And I'm expecting a full day

of inane calls
about emails vanishing,

so be prepared
for that.

- Who are we got on schedule?
- I'll check, all right?

Female voice:
Floor 12.

( distant horns honking )

( Christmas music playing )

I see you've decorated
for the holidays.

- It's holly, not mistletoe.
- Are you sure?

Ryan, I've told you
I have a boyfriend.

Baby, you have a thug
on a leash.

Mm-hmm, and I can get him
to kick your ass.

Ooh, I like that.

- ( phone ringing )
- Ciao.

( woman moaning )

We need someone discreet.

He'd be assisting
in a federal investigation.

In fact, I might have already
said too much.

You could be a security risk,
for all I know.

I've already passed
two background checks

or we wouldn't be sitting here.
You know that, Mr. Williams.

Yes, well, I like everything

to be checked
and double-checked.

( computer beeping )

( beeping )

Female voice:
Floor 12.

What's up?

- Cale, what's up?
- Hey, Sheb.

Email's down on seven.

And I'm going to 11.
Check this out.

I won't tolerate
anything less than perfection.

Your tie is crooked.

( Williams clears throat )

Sheb: Dude, you gotta let me
go to 11 for you.

George gave it to me.

- Sheb: But your wife's
in the building.
- Ex-wife.

You know you can totally
work it out with her.

Yeah, well,
I totally won't.

And I'm going to 11.

Female voice:
Floor six.

Can I help you?

Sorry.
Haven't seen you here before.

I usually work nights.

Who are you?

( low rumbling )

( metal rattling )

- ( people screaming )
- ( alarm sounding )

George: That was a bomb
or a freakin' plane.

To the exits, everybody.
Get out of the building, people.

Cale: We gotta do
the backups.

Screw the backups.
They won't care

when the building collapses.

You guys go.
I'm gonna do the backups.

Look, it's not gonna collapse.

That's what they said
about the towers.

That was before we got
the colored alert systems.

Nothing collapses
on yellow. Go.

( alarm sounding )

( growling )

( people screaming )

Dispatcher: 555,
respond to 27-Baker

at the federal building
on Oak Plaza.

- ( police siren wailing )
- Policeman: 555, copy.

555, en route to
the federal building.

ETA is five minutes.

( people screaming )

( growling )

Policeman:
555, copy. Responding.

Please notify EDU and send me
additional units.

Dispatcher:
Copy, 555.

Man over P.A.:
This is a security lockdown.

- What the hell?
- Please remain at your
workstations.

The authorities
are on the way.

( screens beeping )

Man over P.A.:
This is a security lockdown.

Please remain
at your workstations.

The authorities
are on the way.

Man over P.A.:
This is a security lockdown.

Please remain at your
workstations.
The authorities--

( coughing )

You're all right.
You're all right.

( siren wailing )

( coughing )

Policeman:
Responding to your request

for stagingfire
as well as haz-mat units.

Man over P.A.:
Please remain at your
workstations.

The authorities
are on the way.

Dispatcher: 555,
staging is gonna be

in front of the building.

Additional haz-mat units
en route.

Policeman:
555, copy.

Hey, shouldn't you be doing
something about this?

( growling )

Keep moving!

Shut the hell up, old man.

( screams )

( people screaming )

Man over P.A.:
This is a security lockdown.

Please remain at your
workstations.

The authorities
are on the way.

Man:
Get out of the stairwell.

- It's locked.
- How do you know?

It's part
of the security procedure.

The only way out
is down.

We can't go down.
They're coming up.

Now if we don't get out
of these stairs, we're dead.

Follow me.

Man over P.A.:
This is a security lockdown.

Please remain at your
workstations.

The authorities
are on the way.

What the hell is going on?

The lower floors
are contaminated.

Now, this group was
above the cloud.

Now it's safe to assume
that everybody else is dead.

Everyone can't be dead.

At the very least,
they're contaminated.

They're-- they're infected,
so it's just a matter of time.

How do you know
that we're okay?

Well, you didn't walk
through the vapor, right?

So that's how I know.

Anyone below the sixth floor
wasn't so lucky.

What are you doing?
Where are you going?

I'm gonna get my daughter.
She's on the fourth floor.

- Nobody's going through there.
- Why?

If you want to see
your daughter again,

then you have
to listen to me.

- You know what's going on?
- Yes, I do.

I'm not sure
the extent of it yet.

Are you willing
to help me?

( people coughing )

555 arriving.
ETA for EDU?

25's on scene.
Stand by for a size-up.

Dispatcher: Received, 25.
Wait for additional orders.

We'll be in and out
before anyone gets here.

Dispatcher:
Negative, 25.

What's the reason
for the designated truck?

Dispatcher: 25, stand down.
This is straight
from the chief.

We've got feds coming in
from Washington.

All right,
we're on standby.

( people wheezing, growling )

- ( woman screaming )
- What was that?

You want to meet
whatever's making that noise?

They're infected.

- We've got to block this door.
- Nobody's
getting through that lock.

- Come on, follow me. Let's go.
- ( banging on door )

- Now do you believe me?
- Go, go.

- What's going on?
- There's more infected on those
stairs.

Well, shouldn't you shoot them
or something?

Williams, that could be
somebody from our floor.

Nobody's shooting anyone.

We need to find a way to monitor
what's going on in the building.

How about
the security feeds?

Are you supposed to have
access to that?

I know every password
in the building.

Most of the security cameras
are either knocked out

or showing empty rooms.

So we're the only ones left?

The only healthy ones.
There are plenty of infecteds.

Tony:
Like those on the stairs.

- Doctor, what's going on?
- I can't say.

- The phones don't work.
- Lockdown.

Even the phones?

Whatever happened
inside this building

is obviously not
intended to get out.

Wait a second.
You were in the lab.

Why aren't you infected?

I happened to be
in the restroom.

That was lucky.

Cale: Well, then how can
you be so sure

that my daughter's
infected?

She's in the nursery
on the fourth floor.

I'm Dr. Richard Andzari,

one of the project
leaders on F-squared.

- F-squared?
- You said you knew everything.

Just the passwords, Doc.

Your ex-- Carol--
worked with me on the project.

She didn't tell
you about it?

None of
the high security stuff, no.

About your daughter--
I'm very sorry.

Ann:
Oh, my God.

( lights buzzing )

There's been an explosion
at the federal building.

We're on the scene,
standing by.

And we'll get you
more information

as soon as it
becomes available.

- Under the tree. Yes.
- Man: Merry Christmas, Chief.

It doesn't matter, okay?
I really gotta call you back.

- The press is here.
- Tell them two minutes.

Okay, I love you.
I'll call you later.

Chief, I'm Dr. Otis Wexler.

I'm the doctor in charge
of the laboratories

in that
building.

You're gonna have to
pull your people back.

No, no, no, no, there are
people in the building.

Loham, I got this, okay?
Thank you. What's going on?

It's an airborne agent,

and by design it will
be dispersed everywhere.

Haz-mat only,
full suits.

It's not gonna be inert
for several hours.

And in this exact time,
it's deadly, very dangerous.

What the hell
you got in there?

I can't tell you, Chief.

It's part of
a Loss Less Victory program--

inventing new ways
to bring down the enemy

without losing
American lives.

What about the lives
lost today?

Why are we safe on
the 10th floor?

Smoke always rises.

No, it's heavier than air,
like a pesticide.

You drop it over
the troops

the same way
you crop-dust a field.

Breathing it induces
a combination

of extreme anger
and paranoia

caused by over stimulating
the adrenal glands.

For the infected,
everyone is a threat.

The fight-or-flight mechanism
goes into overdrive

and they kill others
out of aggression or fear.

- So the enemy kills each other.
- What's the cure?

There is none.

( beeping )

Other targeted areas include
White Sands, New Mexico,

Edwards Air Force Base,
California,

a federal building
in Houston,

NORAD, Colorado.

How did they get bombs
in all those buildings?

- They had to use the mail.
- It didn't come in the mail.

I deliver the mail to you
every morning.

- You do?
- Yeah. Thanks for noticing.

Quiet.
Guys, this is outside.

All I can tell you right
now we've clamped

everything down around
the federal building.

We don't know
what's going on inside.

It's about time
they got here.

Someone's getting sued
if we're not rescued soon.

They won't be coming in.

Grosso: As soon as I have
some more information,

I'll tell you folks.
That's it, okay?

No, I'm not taking
any more questions, no.

Pilot: This is 275 Delta
from Washington, DC,

requesting emergency
landing clearance.

Check it out, Doc.
Looks like you were wrong.

Thank God.

- Entering hot zone.
- Just like last night,
right, Lou?

What was her name?

Dispatcher:
Cut the chatter, boys.

We're setting up decon
at the exit point.

Lou:
Lobby appears empty.

Continuing to the stairs.

Dispatcher:
Received. Keep us updated.

I lost them on
the staircase,

but I can find them again
when they come out.

Dispatcher: Haz-mat 1, report.
What's the APD read-out?

No gamma rays.

We've got us a body here.

Dispatcher:
Received. We'll notify...

( growling )

Dispatcher:
Haz-mat 1, report.

Some psycho woman
on a rampage.

Repeat, some psycho
woman on a rampage.

We're under attack!

Dispatcher:
Report, Haz-mat 1.

( man screaming )

Dispatcher:
What's going on, guys?

Dispatcher:
Report.

( man screams )

( man screaming )

Put down your weapon!
Put down your weapon!

Grosso:
Don't shoot.

Hold your fire.
Hold your fire.

You're okay.
Stay down. Stay down.

( growling )

You're all right.

Jesus.

Back away from the blood.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Agent Wilson.
This is Agent Riley.

Weren't you given orders
to wait for us?

They shot their own guy.

No one's coming in,
not after that.

This is bad.

They might look normal,

but the minute
something angers them

or frightens them,

they cease to be
the person you knew.

I've never seen anything move
like that in my entire life.

Well, this substance--
it causes the adrenaline

to run unchecked
throughout your entire body.

There's no way you can
maintain that level of output.

Look, how do we
make them right?

Well, we have a drug, but it's
only a maintenance drug.

We have to administer it
regularly like insulin.

- Where do we get that?
- In there.

Williams:
Hey! Hey, up here!

We've got to alert them.

They're not gonna know
what to do anyway.

You're wrong.
That's Dr. Wexler-- my superior.

He knows more about it
than anyone.

They'll assume
that we're infected.

And if we go down,
we will be.

So let's go up.

The doors are all locked.

No, no, no, the roof doors
are always unlocked.

It's part of
the fire escape system.

I'm a private
investigator.

I've entered a few buildings
through the roof.

She's right.

( sirens wailing )

Wilson: A bullet
to the head

is the only thing
that will stop them.

( police radio chatter )

You are going to lose
more lives

if you stand here
and do nothing.

These people just suffered
a terrorist attack.

We need to get
in the building.

We don't know
what they've suffered.

And when we do,
we'll let you know.

In the meantime,
try not to panic.

Riley.

Get the press onboard.
Be nice.

Yes, sir.

- They'll see us from the roof.
- And we can use
our cell phones.

It doesn't matter.
They're killing
everyone they see.

That's not true.
They're killing people
who act infected.

I don't think infected people
are making phone calls.

Andzari: Maybe,
but they won't risk
picking us up until after dark.

- Cale: Why?
- The chemical changes

from a vapor to a powder

and becomes completely
inert at that time.

As long as they
avoid contact

with blood and saliva,
this outbreak can be isolated.

Well, if no one is gonna
come and get us,

I'm gonna go to the fourth floor
and get my daughter.

I hate to state the obvious,

but if she's on the fourth,
then she's--

Andzari:
It's still too early.

In a few hours
you'll have a chance,

but right now
you'll die trying.

- I'm going down.
- That's suicide.

Let's go to the roof
and get help.

( police radio chatter )

If we need you,
we'll let you know.

- ( keyboard keys clicking )
- ( radio chatter )

What do we have here?

How long is the virus
contagious?

Well, we're at the beginning
of the second stage now,

which means you can only get
the thing transmitted

through
bodily fluids.

- So we're clear at 6:00?
- Oh, no, no, no.

You wouldn't be safe entering
that building before midnight.

Chief, you got
a chopper on the way?

Give me 10 minutes.

Command to Air Ops.

Andzari:
Do we still need this?

Yeah, well, if you're wrong
about the roof,

we're gonna need
to get back in.

Are you sure we're not
breathing it?

It's settling into a powder
on the lower floors.

Why does it change?

To keep it localized
to the combat area.

We want the whole
front line wiped out

but we don't want it picked up
by a weather system.

I thought
bioweapons were banned.

That's what you're
supposed to think.

- Don't. Don't shoot.
- Don't move.

Look, just shoot 'em.
What are you waiting for?

We work on the ninth floor.

We're just trying
to get to the roof.

Check her eyes.

She's not infected.

( light switch clicks )

All right, let's go.
Move it. Move it, come on.

- Come on.
- ( women whimpering )

Tony: Go, go.

( radio chatter )

Sweep the roof.

The picture might be distorted.
The building has scramblers.

Copy that.
We'll circle the roof.

Hang on, sir.
Can you see this?

( people shouting )

Get as close as you can,

but do not land until we
get a good look at them.

Copy that.

He's alive.

Grosso: Who?

- Andzari.
- Who's Andzari?

The doctor who's supposed
to keep this a secret.

( alarm beeping )

Tony:
Come on, move.

Move. Go, go.

Down. Get down.
Hurry up.

Cale:
What about the others?

I want to know who that is
right there.

( radio chatter )

555.

This is officially
a no-fly zone.

Everything comes through us.

Why don't you do me
a favor and tell me

what's really
going on here?

( siren wailing )

555. I'm en route to the
suspect's last known address

at 245 Southwest King Street.

She has your eyes.

Mandy.

I'm Cale.

Williams:
I'm sorry.

I should have let you leave
when all this started.

Then we wouldn't be here.

Andzari:
Yeah.

You'd be dead.

Hey. I'm Ryan.

I'm Tony. Leave
the waters for someone else.

- We've got plenty.
- I'm good, man.

Don't be a hero, man.
Just take the water.

Female reporter:
Authorities are speculating

that the explosionwas not
incendiary in nature.

Police are interviewing
the witnesses.

Do you believe
any of this crap?

Reporter: ...and the families
for further information.

They think it's one of us
gone postal.

Reporter: Police chief Grosso
held a press conference.

Here's what he had to say.

Grosso: All I can
tell you right now

is we've clamped everything
down around

the federal building.

We don't know what's going on.

Leary to 555.
Hold position.

I repeat,
hold position.

Our friends in the back
staircase again.

Ann: Sounds like
the locks are holding.

As long as they're locked out
there, we're safe in here.

Safe? We gotta get
the hell out of here.

There's nowhere to go.
We have to wait
for rescue to come to us.

If it comes.

Leary to 555.
On scene, entering back door.

Man: Police department!
Open up!

Clear.

Clear.

Call Forensics.

Let's send in the medics.
My SWAT team can defend them.

No one is entering
any of these locations.

Johnson, can you
give me five?

Sure, Chief.

This is my jurisdiction.

This is my responsibility.

All of these locations were hit
within 15 minutes of each other.

It was a very
professional operation

which must remain a secret
from the public.

You don't think
the public knows about this?

No.

Well, maybe we should
fill them in.

We can rally like we did
with the Twin Towers.

This is different, Chief.

Did you ever hear
of MK-ULTRA?

It was a mind control program
from the '60s--

LSD,

special cocktails
of psychotropic drugs.

Our research
springs from that.

You've heard of Area 51.

It's been top secret
since the '50s.

And it's our job to keep this
secret from the public.

- Johnson: Chief.
- What is it?

We're ready to pull the plug.

We're on our way.

Wilson:
Chief.

I want you to put your snipers
under Riley's command.

Cale:
Grab a couple.

( distant gunfire )

Tony: I'm gonna check
the staircase.

Great.

( lights buzzing )

- Chief, we're going in, right?
- Ask the feds.

What, we're just gonna
let people in there die?

You got the initial group,
right?

I got a few in quarantine, yeah,

but they were already out
when I got here.

That may be all you get.

( growling )

- ( screams )
- Tony: Calm down!

- Ann: Don't shoot.
- Calm down!

Ann:
Don't shoot. June?

( growling )

What are you doing?

- ( gunfire )
- ( Ann screaming )

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

( growling )

- ( rapid gunfire )
- ( June screaming )

( stops screaming )

She's down.

I thought the doors
were locked.

The doors
are all electric.

We lost them all
when the generator went down.

So all the doors
are unlocked?

And there could be
others out there?

Look, IS use these
for emergencies.

We can all keep in touch
while we're in the building.

- So just radio the cops.
- No, the scramblers work
on them, too.

We're not gonna
reach outside,

but between floors
we can keep in touch.

Where are you going?

To get my daughter.

Williams:
You're insane.

Haven't you been listening
to the doctor here?

( grunts )

- ( gunshots )
- ( June screams )

The powder's
probably still airborne

below the fifth floor.

Were there no backup
contingencies for this?

Well, we have gas masks
in the lab,

but I don't know what kind
of shape they're in

and we don't have enough
for everybody.

We only need a couple.

Cale.

Take this.

Thanks.

( siren wailing )

Cale.

Cale, can you hear me?

What good is a radio
if you don't
turn the damn thing on?

- Where are you going?
- Cale needs help.

Well, then I'm going
with you.

There's no way
I'm staying here anymore.

Williams: Are you gonna leave us
without a weapon?

Do you even know how to use
one of these things?

Oh.

All right, Doc, what happens
if one of us gets infected?

The only defense
is the blocker.

I'm sorry,
the what?

We made a blocker.
It's not a cure.

Think of it like insulin.

It-- it prevents symptoms.

If you're infected,
it keeps you normal.

Why didn't you tell us
about this before?

Because it's probably
all gone.

All the doctors in the lab
knew about the safe.

Ryan, you grab a walkie
and you give one to Dr. Andzari.

You're gonna
lead us to it.

Williams: You just expect us
to stay here, huh?

And do what?

( sniffs )

( gasps )
Oh, God.

- Are you okay?
- What are you doing here?

You forgot to turn on
your radio.

- The doctor's been
hiding a cure.
- What?

It's not really a cure.
It's some sort of inhibitor.

But there's a lot
he's not telling us.

Mandy:
Oh, God.

Ryan: This guy obviously
wasn't doing his job.

Cale:
Don't be a jerk.

Mandy:
Guys, come on.

Hey, Doc, this dust
won't affect us, right?

Andzari: The powder is inert,
but to be safe,

leave it alone
until you have a gas mask.

Ryan: Why is this place
not burned to shit?

Cale: It must have been
concussive,
not explosive.

Are you an expert now?

Doc, where do we look?

The masks will be
in a glass-front cabinet

and the blocker
is in the safe.

The safe's empty.

Andzari:
Are you in the outer lab?

Cale:
No, the inner lab.

Andzari: Check the safe
in the outer lab.

They got more than one safe
of this stuff?

Ryan: I'm telling you, man,
that guy is shady.

( growling )

- ( grunts )
- Are you okay?

Yes, yes, I'm sorry.

I just need a minute.

Are we supposed to take these
to the bathroom with us?

Probably should.

( growling )

Yeah.

No, no, you're gonna have
to take the kids

and I'll meet you up there.

I'm not in charge anymore.

The feds are.

Because it's my responsibility.

This is my city.

No, no.

I'll call you back.

( sighs )

( phone beeps )

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, just the wife,

you know, wants me back
for Christmas.

( exhales )

These things are useless.

The explosion damaged them.

- ( growling )
- What was that?

( snarling )

Mandy!

- Are you all right?
- I'm not cut. I'm okay.

Mandy.

Hey, give us a hand.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

What are you doing?

That's-- that's Mandy's gun.

I'm getting out of here.

We'll go together.

You are not in charge.

Ryan, you're gonna
get yourself killed.

You think?

Shit.

( sniffing )

Here, freaky, freaky.

( snarls )

No, I did not see your package.

Go bitch at someone else.

( gunfire )

( panting )

- ( snarling )
- ( gunfire )

( snarling stops )

( Mandy over radio )
Ryan, are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm just finishing off
a straggler.

Just wait for us.

We're clear.
I'm going for backup.

Oh, God.

All right, come on.

Our boy's a right-wing fanatic
counting on the government

to make a mess of this so people
will start asking questions,

part of a group called CCA--
Concerned Citizens Alliance--

some pretty chilling stuff.

( man on tape )
"Government does not
keep the people free."

Henry David Thoreau.

- Are you okay?
- She's not here.

- Who?
- My wife.

My ex-wife.

Ex, huh?

So what happened?

Money? Sex?

Trust?

No, none of those things.

Look, I'm sorry.

I see a lot of that
in my line of work.

I just guess I didn't
turn out to be

the guy she thought
she married.

- Ann: Where are you going?
- To the restroom.

Again? Are you all right?

( growling )

( screaming )

( thuds )

- ( growling )
- ( gunfire )

- How long has
the power been cut?
- About three hours.

So it'll be six hours
right around 10:00, correct?

- What's your point?
- The point is I want to know

protocol behind D&D.
Destruction and deniability--

that's what you're really
waiting for, isn't it?

That's why you won't let
anybody in here.

What's that?

This is the manifesto
from the suicide bomber.

He seems to have known
quite a bit.

"Government does not keep
the people free."

Henry David Thoreau.

Yeah, well, if only Carol
could see me now,

she wouldn't believe it.

Her dad was a Navy Seal.

( gunfire )

Cale,

there's nothing wrong
with the man you are.

( growling )

( gunfire )

Okay, go find your daughter.

I'll figure out a way
to get around him.

Looks like we don't really have
much of a choice, do we?

Be careful.

They'll label me a terrorist,

but I'm a patriot.

We have to take back
this country,

shine a light

so that its darkest secrets
scatter like roaches.

And when these clandestine
operations are exposed,

you'll see the CCA
for what it really is--

men and women who love
this country too much

to see it fail,

people who want to be free.

I don't want to die,

but if that makes you see
the truth,

then so be it.

I hope this makes you think.

I hope it changes your life.

That is pathetic.

Grosso:
So the D&D plan exists,
doesn't it?

You're gonna bring down
that building?

In the interest
of national security,

sensitive federal locations
are prewired for demolition.

Like building number seven
at the World Trade Center?

The system is connected
to the power grid.

Six hours without power--
it detonates itself.

- That's insane.
- Chief, be realistic.

Anyone in there is dying anyway.
We can't help them.

All we can do is keep them
from infecting the rest of us.

You just want to bury
the evidence.

No, we want
to contain the virus.

Everyone in that building knew
that job came with a risk.

Nobody knew about the gas.

Nobody knew that building
was coming down around them.

Cale, are you all right
up there?

( Cale gasps )

( Mandy over radio )
Cale, what's happening?

( growling )

Allie?

Allie?

( growling )

Carol. Carol, hey.

Oh, God.

Carol, it's Cale.
Carol?

Yes, it's Cale.
It's Cale.

Cale? Cale?

It's Cale.
Oh, my God.

Carol, where is Allie?

Where's Allie?

Gone.

Gone?
Gone where?

It's okay. It's okay.

No.

( screaming, snarling )

( gunshot )

You didn't pick up your radio.

Where's your daughter?

She's gone.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

No, no, it's not.
I just killed your wife.

She was already dead.

( pounding on door )

Williams:
Open up! Open up!

Damn it.
Get back up here.

We found Andzari.
He's had the serum all along.

How do you know?

He's in the bathroom
shooting up.

It's been keeping
him alive.

He's infected.

Look, just stay away from him.
We'll get you out.

( screaming )

What are we gonna do?

If we can make it to the second
floor, we can use this.

Okay.

What is it?

It's just the last
call she made.

Man:
You find a shot, take it.

Don't radio for authorization.

Look, I know that truth
doesn't make good copy

and the conspiracy
stuff does,

but I promise we
operate aboveboard.

You want some?

You've had it all along,
you bastard.

Well, we can all
sit down and be calm.

He's gonna wait,
and Dr. Wexler is gonna--

Man:
Whoa!

Shit.

Ann. Ann.

Let's talk about that raise
you've always wanted.

( screaming )

What are you doing?

I'm gonna measure out enough
to get us to the second floor,

and then I'll tie it off.

I am not climbing down
that thing.

Neither am I.
We're gonna jump.

- What?
- We gotta get past that guard.

You're right.
We're gonna need
some protection.

Come on, follow me.

Grosso: I want you guys going
through floor by floor.

Keep somebody
on the bottom two levels

so we can maintain contact
at all times.

If you find any survivors,
we've got the fire boys
standing by.

I've got an evac chopper
on its way.

I'm afraid you boys have
about an hour and that's it.

- That's not enough time.
- Come on, let's rock 'n' roll.

Let them go in.

That building is gonna
come down on all of them.

Firemen and policemen
are gonna be heroes.

As you can see behind me,
the power to the building

has been shut down.

Federal agents
in charge of the situation

have sent in rescue teams
with night vision,

giving them an advantage
over the hostiles inside.

Mandy: What makes you think
these are gonna work?

They're more likely gonna
kill us than rescue us.

We just got to get to the second
floor where there's reception.

Okay.

We gotta get past that guard.

All right, are you ready?

Not even close.

Okay,

there's something
I want to say to you first.

( growling )

Jump!

- ( screams )
- ( gunshots )

( groans )

( cell phone ringing )

Carol.

Carol, baby, it's me.
Where are you?

It's not Carol.
It's her ex-- Cale.

Where is she?

She went back for Allie.

She didn't make it.

Allie's fine.
She's fine.

What? What?

Where is she?

Ever since
the Oklahoma bombing,

it's policy to evacuate
the children first.

Allie's in quarantine.

It's just a precaution.

Thank you. Thank you.

She's okay.
Thank you.

Look, where are you?

We're in the second-floor
stairwell.

Listen, there's two of us
and we're not infected.

So if you see us,
don't shoot.

If you see anyone else,
they're probably infected.

You've gotta get the hell
out of the building.

- They're about to level it.
- What?

SWAT is in there
for a final sweep.

The building is coming down.
You've gotta get out.

Well, you've gotta get
them to stop.

Chief.

Cale:
Inside.

Just keep the
streets locked down.

I don't want anybody
coming in and out.

Chief.

- We have live ones in there.
- Are you sure?

Yeah, I just talked to them.
They're on the second floor.

Are they infected?

No. No. You've got to stop
the demo of this building.

I'm doing
the best I can.

Look, I'm going in.

We've just been told
all survivors

have been evacuated.

But the building has suffered
severe structural damage.

As you can see, we've been moved
farther away from the building

so that authorities
can take it down safely.

Man:
As soon as possible.

Freeze!

No! She was shooting at him.

( gunfire )

How many got out?

Well, beside you, 18.

Six kids, including Allie.
None are infected.

- Where is she?
- Sacred Heart.

What about
the other locations?

The news said this was
a training exercise.

Oh, great.
Now we're never gonna know.

Mr. Milner, I'm Dr. Wexler.
May we have a word with you?

Would you give the guy
a break?

Thanks for getting me out.

I'm coming with you.

Mr. Milner, we're gonna need
to go over your story.

Feel better?

Yeah.

Keep your mouth shut.

You've got some balls
on you, man.

Hey.

Thanks.

( siren wailing )

Here's your story.

Merry Christmas.

( cell phone ringing )

Yeah.

I love you, too.

Daddy, I'm sorry.

For what?

I pulled that alarm thing,
but I didn't know

I was gonna hurt
the whole building.

Oh, that wasn't you, baby.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too.

Woman:
Excuse me.

Are you family?

( man on tape )
I don't want to die,

but if that makes
you see the truth,

then so be it.

I hope this makes you think.

I hope it changes your life.
