Zombacter: Center City Contagion (2020) - full transcript

Professor Jake Northrop (Eric Starkey) is horrified to learn that his experimental, bio-computer bacteria turns people into flesh-eating monsters. While most of his accidental creations are...

- No, no, no. No, it's not that
I don't trust your judgment.

I just want to give him the
best treatment possible.

Hey, try paying a little more-

Numerous
accounts of random violence

and looting are being reported.

We go live now to the
streets of Downtown Philly

to KNE reporter, Don Philips.

Don, what can you tell us

about the reports we've been getting?

- Damn it.

Jen, I'm so sorry. I've got a meeting.



- Yeah, my dad's waiting for you.

- Oh. How long has he been there?

- Long enough. You should go.

- Oh, right. Okay, I'm
sorry. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye.

Ron, good to see you.

- Don't give me that crap,
Northrop. You're late.

- Midterms. I uh.

I got tied up.

I'm sorry.

- Enough. Just show me the
progress on my bio-computer.

- I, I just. I need to.

- Oh, by all means.

- So, just take a look at a couple



of the screenshots from yesterday.

It works.

- Is this real? Because if it is.

- It's real, all right.

And in a couple of months we're gonna have

much more than a bio-computer.

- What are we talking about here?

I thought we were on the same page.

- Well, we're talking about
artificial intelligence.

- Oh, don't start that again.

One slip up, and our
funding is gonna get yanked.

- My creation is gonna be able
to do more than any person,

or any machine could ever do.

- You need to keep your eyes on the prize.

Forget about AI.

- But it is key to-

- Damn it, Jake that's enough!

Hello.

Hello?

Stupid phone.

How the hell did you get this to work?

- So the bacteria, doesn't
feed off the rabbits.

It uses the nutrients that I provide.

See, I've created a
symbiotic relationship.

I suppress the immune system

until the bacteria settles, and then.

- It sounds time-consuming and expensive.

- It does take some time
to work out the kinks, but

I've engineered the bacteria

to activate the pleasure
centers in the brain.

- So the rabbit gets rewarded
for not killing the bacteria.

- Exactly, and then we just harvest

the neural network whenever it's ready.

And the spider silk genes

that I've added help provide stability.

I mean, it's. It's elegant,
if I do say so myself.

- Harvest them, like
you're picking apples.

You just harvest them?

- That's not fair.

Look Ron,

what we're doing here,

this could revolutionize
the entire planet.

And we own it.

- Just make sure that bacteria
of yours is not a problem,

and you'll have what you need.

- Close one, huh guys?

All right, come on buddy.

There you go.

You got it?

Good job. Good job.

Oh, don't look at me like that.

Good job.

I'll catch you tomorrow.

Good night, fellas.

Next.

Careful with that.

- Where is this going?

- I've got it on there.

- That'll be $23.19.

I need you to sign for this.

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Do you need a receipt?

- I'm good.
- Okay, cool.

Well, have a good day.
- You too.

- Oh my God. What happened?

- The little bastard bit me.

- Oh my God, are you okay?

- No. He bit me.

- Well, he's probably just scared.

- Hey look, they stopped fighting.

- Barney's hurt. Look at his leg.

- I know. I know.

How's Algernon?

- I can't tell. It looks like he.

Oh, gross!

- Awe, shit.

Come on, we better get the professor.

Dr. Northrop, we need you downstairs.

Something happened with the rabbits.

What?

- Well, they're not fighting now.

What happened?

- I don't know.

- I gotta put him down.

Come here, buddy.

Can you get that door for me?

Go get the hand checked out, Ruben.

What's with all the tunnel maps?

You can't do any more here, okay.

Just, go get that looked at.

Yeah, all right.

So you say this
was a lab animal, Mr. Stanley?

- A rabbit.

- I'm sorry?

- It was a rabbit.

- Was it vaccinated for rabies?

- I don't know.

I think so.

I mean, the university should have

some papers on him somewhere.

- Look, it's been a
long night, Mr. Stanley.

But we need to cover all the bases.

Heard you had a
disagreement with a rabbit.

I trust the rabbit's
worse off than you are.

- Well, yeah.

Lab rabbits were fighting.

Got bit trying to break them up.

- Were the rabbits ill?

- No, I don't think.

- Well.

You don't have anything
to be concerned about.

You're gonna need a tetanus shot.

Round of antibiotics.

Take some acetaminophen for the pain and

try not to get between
any more fighting rabbits.

Thank you.

- I'll get that drawn up,

and have someone in to give you your shot.

Ah, shit.

Hey.

I been hit. Oh, God.

I'm going to die. I'm
in the prime of my life.

Get up you lazy
bum, you're worse than I am.

How long have you been laying down there?

- Oh, shit. Bill get down,
it's real. It's real.

Man, what the hell did you kick me for?

- Time to get moving.

I'm gonna need
some more medicine, man.

You owe me.

I ain't got nothing.

And it's slim pickings up down, brother.

- I don't owe you nothing.

You know what? Get on up outta
here, man. Leave me alone.

- To do what? Come on, let's go.

- All right, man, every time.

Find a good spot and
lay down in a good spot.

It's a man's world.

My daughter was
around those goddamn rabbits.

You told me people were safe.

They are.

- That's not what your voicemail said.

I want this, all of this, gone.

The rabbits, and the crap
that you stuck them with.

- What? No no, no no, I'm way too close.

Maybe you didn't hear me Northrop.

I said get rid of them.

- Just.

Look, just give me, give me a few days.

- I'm telling you to find something else.

- The investors are not gonna
wait for something else.

- You heard what I said, Northrop.

- Oh. Sorry, Dr.
Langley. I didn't see you.

- Get rid of those
rabbits in Northrop's lab.

- I thought those were
for the bio-computer.

- Not anymore. Get rid of him.

- Yes, sir.

- Sorry buddy.

It's all right.

That a boy. I got you, I got you.

This is only gonna hurt for a second.

Blaine, I'll be back in a bit.

- Is Rubes in today? I
wanted to give him his book.

- Just leave on my desk. But
oh, don't touch anything.

And, stay away from the animal cages.

- Yeah, okay. Whatever you say.

Later, douche.

God.

God.

Sucks for you, dude.

Goddamn it!

Thai food.

Hell yeah.

- Jennifer, where's Ruben?

- His grandmother's sick.

- Look, I need you to get all the files

from October 23rd through today.

- What am I looking for?

- Anything unusual in the tissue samples.

Compare them with the images
from before the incident.

What's going on?

- I also need to get blood samples

from everybody who's worked in the lab.

- Wait, what?

- I'm just looking for an
antibody to the bacteria.

Nobody's sick.

- I thought you said that this research-

- Our research is not dangerous.

So get the samples. And
get Blaine down here.

I'll be in my office.

This just in.

Numerous accounts of random violence

and looting are being reported.

We go live now to the
streets of downtown Philly

to KNE reporter, Don Phillips.

Don, what can you tell us

about the reports we've been getting?

- Charlene, all we know was
that earlier this morning

police were cordoning
off sections of Ninth

and Market Street,
including Terminal Market.

In what may be an ominous
sign, police have been

steadily increasing the
barricades over the past hour.

- Don, any word from officials

about what might be causing this?

- Right now, officials are warning

curious onlookers to stay away, and-

- What's going on?

- I don't know.

But I know somebody who might.

Stay put, keep looking at the samples.

- I'm not gonna stay here by myself.

- Stay put.

It's almost dark outside.
You'll be safe here.

All the trouble's in Center City.

- Jason?

All our rooms are currently
full at the moment.

But, what brings you in here today?

- My neck.
- Your neck?

Okay, what happened?

Something's biting on you.

On a scale of one to 10,

could you tell me what you're pain is?

- Heather.

- Jake? What are you doing here?

- I'm just looking for you?

The riots been all over the news.

These people look sick,
they don't look injured.

What's wrong with them?

- I don't know. The flu, maybe.

There's been a lot of blunt
force trauma, bite marks.

- Bite? From what?

- People. Look Jake, I gotta go.

- Are you telling me that the
flu and the bites are related?

- I saw a woman bite one of
the other patients today.

- But what does that have
to have to do with the flu?

- Jake, I gotta go.

- No, this is important.

- Look, we saw the same lady a week ago,

and we thought she had the flu.

- All right, is there some place

that we can go talk about this?

- No, Jake. Can't you see I'm working?

What is wrong with you?

- Are you all right?

- I'm sorry. I'm just
tired, and I gotta go.

- Heather, I know when you're lying.

I mean, we lived together for eight years.

Wait. We gotta go.

- No, you have to go-

- No, no no, we have to-

- I have to see people.

- Just listen to me, please.
You gotta trust me. Please you-

- Jake, what is wrong with you?

I am not leaving him, Jake.

All right, we'll
bring him with us, come on.

We gotta go.

Let me grab him a room.

- Hurry.

Carl, can you help us
out here a little bit?

Call the police,
please. Call the police.

I haven't been
able to get through.

I need to call the University.

- You don't need to call the university.

This is an emergency.

Come on, Carl. Can you hear me, baby.

- Ruben, Ruben, Ruben. Is
Jennifer there with you?

Hello?

Damn it.

Come on, we need some bandages

or something, Jake, geez.

We gotta go, we gotta go.

I'm not leaving him.

- Can you walk, Ma'am?

Ma'am? Heather.

- She's gone.

They're coming. Please let me in.

- No, no no, Heather.

I think that's Mary.

- It's not, I'm telling you.

No, I'm telling you it's not.

- I'm gonna help her, Jake.

- What are you talking
about? I've gotta help her.

I'm going to help her. What
is wrong with you, Jake?

- Look out, look out.

Get back. Stop.

Stop, stop!

Jake, what have you done?

- We gotta go.

We gotta go.

- Carl, I need you to get up. We gotta go.

I need you, I need you to come with me.

I need you, Carl.

Come on, I'm sorry. We gotta.

I'm sorry, we gotta go.
I can't stop that thing.

- No.
- Come on.

- Ah, shit.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but we gotta
go, okay. I'm sorry.

Hey come on. You gotta come with us.

You guys gotta get out of here.

- What's wrong with those
people? Why are they doing this?

- Come on, let's go. We
can talk about it later.

Some of those
people back there looked,

I don't know, dead.

Come, come.

Who is it?

- something's up there.

Yeah, no shit.

- You guys stay here, all right.

I'm gonna go take a look.

Go get Heather.

- All right, all right.
Let's get out of here.

- What's going on?

Doc.

You might need this.

- Oh man.
- Hey, hey.

- Thanks.
- Hey.

You're gonna give him the gun?

- What else is he gonna use?

- Shh, guys.

- What are we gonna use?
- You want them to come down?

What if he doesn't come back?

- Go. Go go, go go, go go go.

All right. Hang
on, let me get the lights.

I'm a professor
at the university.

- Well, Doc.

Seems to me like you've got
a hell of a zombie problem.

- Who are you? Where's the guard?

Name's Bill.

I don't think they're coming.

- Don't I know you?

That bum. He
panhandles down on Market.

- He just saved all of
our asses. You apologize!

- What?

Hey, it's all good.

It's true.

- But, we are grateful, Bill.

Would you know anywhere we could stay

that's safe for the night?

- Well, we could try the tunnels.

But I just as soon get out of the city.

- I need to go to the university.

Why the hell
should we go to university?

Can't we just stay here
and wait for the police?

- We are hip deep in these things.

Well, what about the police?

We could go to Jersey.

You've got a rifle,
and you can protect us.

- You go where you want.
I'm going to the university.

- You are out of your
mind. And that is just as-

- I have staff and
equipment at the university

that just might save all of our asses.

I think that we might be able
to develop a vaccine of sorts.

- What are you hiding?

Is there something

you're not telling us about these things?

- We were, we were developing

a bio-computer and I think that it might

have had something to
do with what's happened.

- Great. So you made zombies.

How?

- I don't know. Look, what is that?

Hey, hey, hey idiot.

You're gonna give the mad
scientist your gun? Moron.

This is an EMP weapon.

- Well whoop-de-do.

- This might do some damage
to a whole bunch of them.

How?

- I think that, I mean I
hope that it will stun them.

You hope? You hope?

You don't even know, do you?

Listen, I think

I think that this just
might buy us enough time

to where we can get someplace safe.

Here, you should take the lead.

- I think that's a good idea.

- How'd you get to the hospital tonight?

- How'd you?

I was just checking on
somebody that I saw,

make sure that they got some help.

- Who?

- I saw this guy get attacked
by one of those things.

He said he was a doctor.

Carl? Yeah, Carl, I think he said.

- Carl Wurling.

- You know him?

- What happened?

- Well, this buddy of mine, Marvin,

him and his friends ate
something they found

in a dumpster over by the terminal.

I told him not to, but.

What was it?

Rabbit. Damn
thing was frozen solid.

They must not have cooked it
good enough. I don't know.

What's matter, Doc? You
like you've seen a ghost.

We heard noises
behind us. Let's get moving.

Ah, Jesus.

So anyway,

I told Marvin he needed to
get to the hospital but he,

I thought he had food
poisoning or something.

What happened?

- Well, I went back to check on him.

Shit, he had changed.

I mean, he looked real bad
and smelled even worse.

And then he came after me,
so I just took off running.

Well I saw him get your friend.

Marvin's dead.

I think he was dead the
first time I saw him.

- I'm sorry.

- Ah, he was a tough old
bastard. I'll give him that.

He took down two of
them SWAT boys before I.

Well, I had to put him down.

That's how I got this.

Get down. Get down.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

Carl!

- Unh-uh, uhn-uh, uhn-uh.
He does not look good.

- I found some morphine.

It's gonna wear off pretty soon, though.

- How the hell did you
get out of the hospital?

- What do you care, you son of a bitch?

You left me there to die.

- I just smeared zombie guts on myself.

- We gotta get him to the university.

You are out of your mind.

God, what if he gets his blood on me?

- Ah, shut your whining, you little pussy.

I had this so much.

Hold it,
and don't move. Drop it.

Drop it!

We're gonna pass you by,

and we're going up to the university.

- Shut up.

- Now, see this guy behind
me? He's a professor there.

Look out behind you.

- Oh, you think I'm stupid?

You say it again, and I
would blow your head off.

Now Ma'am, listen.

We're gonna back off a little bit,

and we're gonna circle around,

and we're going up to the university.

No, you're not.

God, I've been shot.

- All right, show's over.

Heather, Heather. Heather?

I've been shot, Oh my God.

Put pressure on it.

I am putting pressure
on it. It's not stopping.

- Forget her.
She's as good as dead.

Help me Carl, help!

Put pressure on the wound.

- I am putting pressure
on it, but it won't stop.

Just stay with me, don't do this.

I'm gonna die.

- Don't do this to me, don't.

Come on, let's go.

Gun shots gonna bring them.
Gotta get out of here.

Come on.

Carl?

- Up here!

Hey!

You're just
gonna get yourself killed.

- Look, it's not gonna take long.

Why didn't you take Jameson,
and catch up with the others?

- Goddamn it, Doc. We ain't
gonna know what the fuck to do.

- Look, I don't plan on getting
killed. Just get moving.

Suit yourself. One more thing.

Shit.

- You owe me, buddy.

- Oh my God.

Mister.

Hello?

- How can I trust you?

- What's your name?

- Chris.

- Jake.

You okay?

- I don't know.

My wife's sick.

- Where is she?

- In the bathroom.

- All right.

Let's go get her.
- I'll go.

- Look, I know you've been to a lot.

But you have to trust me, okay?

Back up, get away from it.

Get out of here. Leave us alone.

It's not your wife.

It's just like one of
those things in the lobby.

You're crazy,
man. She just needs help.

How long ago was she bitten?

Two weeks ago, maybe three?

How do you know that?

That's not important.

Yes it is.

Look, we're running out of time.

Chris!

Not like this.

- My next door neighbor.

He attacked her.

He got me too.

We both got sick a few days later.

I got better.

She just kept getting worse.

- How long ago were you bitten?

- About,

four days ago.

Only four days?

- Yeah, why?

- Here.

You need to smear this all over you.

- No way.

- It's those things up there.

- I can't. Oh God.

You ready?

Are they still out there?

- Ready?

- Oh, shit.

- Those things can hear.

Come on, Jake.

I'm coming.

Jameson, at their heads!

Bill.

- Good to see you, Doc.

I picked up a couple of
strays along the way.

You good to shoot?

- Yeah.

- All right here, take this.

It's fully loaded, but
the battery's almost dead

because we've been using it all day.

Listen, there's 1000 of them out there.

Oh, I got something else for you too.

Look, body Armour. It's tough as nails.

Watch this.

See, not a scratch.

- Too hot. You wear it.

- Suit yourself.

All right, you ready?

- Just let me catch my, my breath.

- Well, you better catch it in a hurry.

- Oh, shit.

- Because here they come.

You guys ready, boys and girls?

I'm out.

- There's too many.
Here they come again.

All right.

- What the hell was that?

Just a little something
I picked up on the way.

Come on.

Come on, pick up those feet kid.

Heather's gone.

Wait, wait. I can't keep going.

It's all I got.

You have to.

Oh, goddamn it.

At least the rain stopped.

You guys look
a little wore down.

Jameson and I will take him from here.

Yeah, yeah. Get over there.

- Jameson, come on it's just once. Please.

Try to be helpful.

You got him?

Take it easy.

Doc, here you go.

You good, Bill?

Is that water?

Free of dead weight.

It's a half mile.

- You're okay, buddy.

And what is that smell?

- Come on, man.

- Where are the insects coming from?

Did you screw up, and make those too?

You know, I'm the one that got shot here,

and yet I'm the one having
to carry zombie boy.

God.

- He saved your ass!

- He's the one who screwed up.

He's the one who caused all this.

- Why do you have to
complain about everything?

It seems like the
world's coming to an end,

and somehow the most
annoying thing is you.

I got fucking shot.
Just a fucking scratch.

Both of you, shut
up! - Be quiet.

A man can't hear himself think.

- He's the one who's caused all this shit.

He needs to be taken fucking care of.

- Listen, you little mother fucker.

If you say one more
fucking smart ass thing,

I'm gonna cut your fucking head off,

and I'm gonna shit down your neck.

Do we understand each other?

You good back there?

- We're fine.

He might behave now.

Let's go.

- Can we go?

- It should have been locked.

- Well, you know ain't no
fucking zombie unlocked it.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

Go.

Yoo-hoo! Ho! Anybody home!

Shut up, you ass hat.

Obviously,
there's nobody here.

Now listen, Doc said

it might be a good idea to warn them.

- Wait, wait wait. Be quiet, be quiet.

- What'd you hear?

- I don't know, it sounded like a door.

Just sit tight, okay? Be right back.

- I got your back.

Jameson, a
little fucking help here.

He fucking smells.

We all have issues.

- Now listen, Chris.

All right, there's a classroom

right down there on the right.

Why don't you take Carl in there?

That'd be a good place for you
guys. You can get some rest.

You have a phone?

- Yeah.
- All right here.

You see, you
hear anything at all,

you call me, okay?

Just keep trying to
call anybody, all right?

Just call until you
get a hold of somebody.

You got a phone?

Jameson.
- What?

- Do you have a phone?

- Nope, no phone.

- You know better than to ask me.

All right.

We gotta clear the
entire place, all right?

We're gonna start at the top,
work our way down. All right?

Everybody stay tight.

We'll meet back here.

Keep your eyes open.

- This is way better than Jersey.

- This ain't good, Doc.

Them things been in here.

Doc?

It's Mr. Skinner, our janitor.

What do we do now?

What about these
footprints running up the stairs?

Looks like it
was somebody being chased.

We can't just leave him here.

- We'll come back for him later.

All right.

We need to make sure that nothing

gets into those stairwells.

- I'll do it.

- It's too dangerous.
Let me come with you.

- Oh, all right.

- Oh, proud of you, Jameson.

You're almost a stand up guy.

- I'll take the stairwell without...

- What? The dead guy? Whatever.

- What a jerk.

Heard that.

- All right listen, once we
clear this floor I'll call out.

But we do this as a team, okay.

- So are we a team?

- What?

- You do you need to take it out on them.

They don't need that shit.

- Are you done?

- Oh, yeah.

You need to keep it together, Doc.

- Just don't shoot anybody, okay.

Until we know that they're not, human.

Doc?

- I don't know, there's something.

There's something barring the door.

Jennifer.

Jennifer, it's Dr. Northrop.

Just leave me alone! Go away!

- Jennifer, are you okay?

Is Ruben in there with you?

Jennifer, listen. Jennifer, listen to me.

We need your help, okay?

How do I
know you're not like him?

- Like who?

Stay where I can see you.

Only you can come in.

- Okay.

- This is not a good idea.

- I don't want to scare her.

- Yeah, I bet.

- That's far enough.
I need to see your face.

All right, I'm coming inside.

- Wait, stop.
- Lower your hands.

- It's me.
- Do it now!

Professor?

Oh, thank God.

Oh, you smell terrible.

Where's, where's Ruben?

Whoa whoa, whoa whoa.

Who did this to you?

Everything all right in there?

Yeah, yeah. Come on in.

- Wait. No, this isn't right.

- All right, Doc get down.
I can't get a clear shot.

- How's your aim?

- Why?

Stop. Ruben, don't hurt him.

- Ruben?

- Don't play dumb with me, professor.

Look what you did to me.

- Come on. Come on buddy, you can do it.

- You killed him.
- Talk to me, talk to me.

Talk to me.

Ha ha, ha ha. Son of a bitch.

- You shot me.

- Yeah, I thought I'd killed you.

Scared me half to death.

You're not dead. I knew that.

- Oh, geez.

How'd you know I was wearing the vest?

Well I didn't.

I was just trying to shoot
that asshole in the head.

Oh, I figured you'd put it on.

- So shooting me was your plan?

Well, it had to work.

That son of a bitch was hell
bent on just kicking your ass.

So I took away his play
toy, and it pissed him off.

- You shot me!

I told you that
body armour'd come in handy.

- I think you broke my sternum.

Did you kill him?

No, not exactly but
I heard a bunch of noise.

Come on, get up.

- I'd be careful.

He's right here.

It was here a second ago.

Well, it ain't here now.

- Chris. Is that you?

- Yeah.

You guys doing all right down there?

- Yeah, stay put. We're coming to get you.

- What's going on?

Nevermind. Man, you got here
fast. I'll meet you half way.

- No. No, no, no wait, wait.

Chris.

- Jake?

You're still an idiot.

- Hold it right there.

Ruben?

Blaine. Oh, God.

God ain't got
nothing to do with that.

- No no, no no. Wait, wait wait. Wait.

Blaine, it's Dr. Northrop.

Doc, what do
you think you're doing?

Just give me just a second.

Blaine.

Do you remember me?

What the fuck are you doing?

I needed him alive.

You think that
thing was still alive?

- The thing downstairs knew who I was.

Oh, come on.

- Ah, Doc's right. Fuckin A.

It's got Ruben's memories,

and I gotta find out why.

- Hey guys, you might want to see this.

- Goddamn it.

Wait. Where's Carl?

- Yeah, where is he?

- Well, he ain't here.

- Well, he didn't walk
out of here by himself.

- Well now, wait a minute, Doc.

Are you thinking that-

- What would it want with Carl?

- This isn't fucking working out.

We're just getting picked
off one after the other.

We need to maintain visual
contact with each other.

Come on guys.

- Where's Jameson?

Oh, you gotta
be fucking kidding me.

He was infected?

He was bitten.

Bitten? Was there
anybody else here bitten?

Mary, were you bitten?

- Look, there's no time
for this right now.

We've got to get him down to my lab.

- What do you mean it's not the time?

Do you want me to make

a fucking appointment during office hours?

- Look, time is on our side right now.

But we've gotta act fast, okay?

- Well, why don't we just
cut his fucking head off,

and take that downstairs? - What?

- No, no no. I need him in one piece.

Let's just, let's drag him down the hall.

- What the fuck is going on?
- Jesus.

- One more thing.

Remember what you said back
there, about being bit?

- Damn it.

- He was still, you know,
Ruben, but what he did to me.

- What did he do to you?

- Let's talk about you and me.

- What?

- I see the way you look at me.

I know what you want.

- What the Hell is wrong with you?

Is everything all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, we gotta. Let's
get the power back on.

Well, why don't you tell us

where this breaker panel is?

- Right up here by the elevators.

What is that?

- Fuck if I know.

- Shams.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Go.

I don't like the sound of this.

- Just open the door.

Send the fucking brown guy-

- Stay low.

- No, don't shoot.

Don't shoot, it's me.

- Where were you earlier?

- I was guarding the
stairwell, like you said.

Oh, bullshit!

- No no, I swear. I promise.

I heard somebody go in there, and I, I, I,

I thought it was one of you guys.

So I came in here, and I thought.

And that's what I remember.

He's fucking lying again.

- No, I swear to God.
- You coward. You're a coward.

- He might be telling the truth.

- I swear to God.

- I say you might be telling the truth.

You got some blood on your head.

- I promise-

- Shut up!

- God-

- Say one more thing!

- Well, you don't have to get all-

- All right, all right,
all right. Goddamn it!

Jake!

Be cool. We don't need this now.

- This is great.

What's wrong with him?

I didn't do anything.

He might've
got knocked on the head.

Well, let's get him out here.

- Get off me, get off of me, psychopath.

Let him go. Let him go.

- Get off of me.

Psycho.

God.

God.

God.

Crazy.

Let's get going.

Let's go.

- Oh, sure.

Sure, go with him.

Go with him. He's gonna
get you all killed.

Guys?

Guys?

Guys?

Hey, guys. Wait for me.

Shouldn't you put that thing,

out it's misery first?

What the Hell is that?

Spider silk.

I engineered the bacteria to produce it.

- Nice work.
- What?

Get the lights, will you?

Yeah, that's my bacteria all right.

But something's not right.

It's not even supposed
to be affecting people.

What's the matter?

Hey, guys?

You're freaking me out.
What are you staring at?

Are you feeling okay?

- Yeah.

God, what's wrong with you people?

What are you looking at? What's on me?

I knew this was gonna happen.

Shut the fuck
up. You're not helping.

Just try to relax.

- You relax.

You're staring at me like a
bunch of freaks. What's on me?

I don't understand.
What's happening to me?

You're infected.

- Infected?

You mean I have that
stringy crap in my head?

Listen, I can help
you, if you just let me try.

Oh, shit.
- Jennifer.

- Hit the lights.

Get the lights, damn it!

I'm trying.

Getting outta here.

Holy shit, fuck this.

I'm Trying, I'm Trying.

There.

- Oh, fuck.

Hey, so what are you doing?

- I'm stopping her infection.

Her body's fighting it off.

The only problem is,
it just might kill her.

Why?

- Her disease has progressed too far.

So what are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna try and stabilize her,

until I can work something out.

- Oh, so that's your big plan, huh?

You're gonna shoot us up with that crap,

and hope the zombie shit plays nice.

- You feeling all right?

- Oh, don't you worry about me.

Don't you put this on
me. I just need a drink.

This ain't got nothing
to do with your shit,

that you made up.

Goddamn it.

,

Doc, is she gonna be okay?

- I'm doing the right thing.

This thing is spreading faster

than anything I'm familiar with.

And you don't have to be
bitten to become infected.

He didn't look
sick, neither did Jennifer.

She didn't look sick either.

- He was bitten four days ago.

Jennifer has been maybe a day ago.

But her disease is presenting

like she's been infected for weeks.

Oh, so you bring us back here

to do one of your little
experiments on us.

Well, I didn't want
anything to do with it.

- Then leave.

It's all around us now.

Anything could be spreading it.

- Why didn't you tell us this before?

- I made it out of harmless soil bacteria!

- It isn't fucking harmless, now is it?

Why would you do such a thing?

- It wasn't supposed to infect people.

I don't,

I don't know what happened.

I mean, I've,

I've tested the surfaces in the lab here,

and it's everywhere!

Okay.

- So, about how long we got?

- Well, it depends on how
long we've been infected, and.

Hard to say.

- Well, take a fucking guess!

- A couple of days.

If you're lucky.

Do something, God.

- Hey, wake up.

Wake up!

What's your name?

I know you're in there.

Come out and play.

Hey!

Now what do we have here?

You?

You're the doctor that treated me.

Is that? You gotta be kidding me.

You and her?

Oh, this is too good.

Carl.

I think this is the start
of a beautiful relationship.

- Hey! Hey, buddy are you okay?

I just had something in my eyes.

But I'm better now.

- Way you were hollering back there,

you scared the crap out of me.

Why don't you come over
here and have a drink?

Hey.

Hey.

- I think these antibiotics
just might save us.

- I am not drinking that.
And you all shouldn't either.

- What about the CDC?

- Do you think we're stupid?

I can't get through?

- Nothing.

What do you have there, Doc?

- It's antibiotics. They
use it to treat MRSA.

- Nothing works against MRSA anymore.

It still works.

It just doesn't work
as well as it used to.

Let me get this straight.

You want us to take some outdated meds?

- You got a better plan?

- Yeah, I got a better
plan. How's this for a plan?

You take that vile of
piss water you got there,

you stick it up your ass
sideways, and you set fire to it.

Now, how's that for a plan?

I ain't drinking that shit.

- Bill.
- Don't you follow me.

- Jameson.
- I'm not following you.

- You should stop them.

They're grown men.

What if those
things are out there?

You should stop them, please.

- Well, I should stop
them? I should stop them?

- You said you'd help us.

- Yeah, I am fucking helping you. Get out.

Go, all of you go. Get out.

- Come on.

- I thought I told you to leave.

- Where the Hell's my daughter?

- Oh, Ron. Oh, man.

- Shut up! She told me she'd
be here, now where is she?

- Look, let me explain.

- Enough!

This, this is all your fault, isn't it?

Oh yeah. This reeks of you!

- Let's just wait a minute.

- One more word out of you,

and so help me!

- Daddy?

- Baby. Oh, Baby are you all right?

- Now Ron. Ron, I wouldn't
do that if I were you.

- You! Oh, I'm not finished with you.

When this all over, I'll see to it

that you never work anywhere
near a university again!

Ron, you don't understand.

- Enough! Just leave us alone.

- Ron, please stop.

- Baby, no. Not you, no.

Please don't do this to me, please.

Please don't do this to me, please!

Don't come any closer, Baby, please!

I can help you! Don't come any-

No!

No!

Jennifer?

Do you, do you remember me?

- You did this.
- Shit.

- Well, maybe it's just me, Doc but

I don't believe she's getting back up.

You look like you can use a
little pick me up too. Try that.

Everybody's waiting for us outside.

It was a beautiful day too.

Sun was shining and everything.

I thought you left for good.

- Nah. Every time I go
away, you get in trouble.

I gotta stick around.

- You shouldn't have come back.

Huh? We
need each other, buddy.

Yeah, I see what you need.

- Why, you piece of shit.

You little shit.

- What'd you say to me?

- You heard me.

You go slinking off, you go wandering away

so that nobody can tell
you that you were wrong.

And that's cowardice to me.

- I've had about enough of your shit.

- Get you some mother-

What the hell was that?

- I don't know, but it sounds
like the Calvary's here.

Guess we get
to finish this later.

- Just a little something
for you to look forward to.

- This isn't over.

- I hope to God it ain't.

Where'd all these guys come from?

I don't know. They
just started showing up.

That last round
sounded like an RPG.

Someone else is
shooting a few blocks over, look!

Get inside everybody, now.

Get inside everybody, now.

- Maybe they can help us.

- Get inside. Come on quick, now.

Get inside. Get inside.

Shut the door, shut the door.

Jameson, you spineless cunt!

Here they come.

Hey, wake up.

What's your name?
