Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2018)
There is no sign
of the national guard. Creatures are tearing up the city. - -Many people eaten alive! They're coming! Let's get outta here! Open the door! Open the door! Mom? I know. Here, too. Mom, you need to get up and lock the door to your room, okay? Don't let anyone in. Not the nurses-- mom? Mom! So now we've had time to see what death looks like. The question for all of you is... How did he die? Now remember, the patient first complained of a sore throat, a fever, and a cough. Considering these factors, can you find this man's cause of death? So, any of you got a theory on c.O.D. Based off this information? Syphilis? Nice try, Abby, but I don't think syphilis infects the lungs. Peter. Suzie? Influenza. Correct. Now, what strain is it, Zoe? It has to be h1n5. Close. H1n1. Note the collapsed air sacs. They couldn't inflate, so they couldn't provide oxygen. That's what killed him. Oh, don't worry, Zoe. You're not being graded today. Hey, doc. Any chance you wanna come to the end of the semester's fiesta? What, and go drinking with my students? Think I'll pass. Have fun. You're coming, right? No, you go ahead. I have some tests to finish up first. Hey, don't beat yourself up. I know you can be obsessed about these things. I know. I just... Can't believe i didn't see it. - Okay, call me. - -I will. Sorry to bother you, Zoe. Your regular just came in to give his weekly blood sample. Can Abby help? He makes me uncomfortable. I know he's a bit strange, but the antibodies in his blood are a hundred times normal level. It's unlike anything we've ever seen before. Trust me, Zoe, this is a great opportunity for you. Hi, Zoe. Hi, Max. It's good to see you again. Your arm. Anything for you. Please roll up your sleeve. Of course. So... Have you thought about what I asked last time? I told you, not interested, Max. You know, I'm never gonna give up. You really should give me a chance. Make a fist. Relax. Like a vampire. Sucking me dry. Zoe, thank you for being so gentle. Your other arm. What is that? You like it? This has to stop! Is there a problem in here, Zoe? No. I'm just giving my weekly sample. Get out of here, you creepy old fuck! Zoe. This guy is crazy. He won't leave me alone. You can't let people do that to you, Zoe. Be stronger next time. Come on. The party's waiting. Chug! Chug! Chug! Yeah! Doctor's orders. Mingle. Drink. You know me, social gatherings. We see these people every day, Zoe. Hey, babe, where you been? Trying to get the shy one out of her shell. Let's grab a beer. We tapped the first keg already. But we got two more chilling in the morgue. Can one of you help me? Oh, I got it. I'll socialize after, i swear. Peter? Peter, where are you? You're an asshole! Come on. You know every one of us has wanted to do that. No, just idiots like you. Sorry. I'm a dick, I know this. Now, can we please go get drunk? Just don't ever do that to me again. Max. What are you doing down here? Relax, Zoe. I just wanna talk. There's nothing for us to talk about. See... we are connected. There is no "we," Max. We're meant... To be together! Let go of me! Peter! - Give me a chance. -No! No! Get off me! Help me! Shh. Somebody help me! I like it when you fight. You are mine. Zoe! Zoe! Zoe! --Zoe! Help! Everybody, we have to get the fuck out of here! - What? -Now! He's awake! Zoe, what's going on? Please move! Why the hell aren't you moving? -Come on! -Dr. beeman, are you okay? Peter, no! Get away from her! Peter! Abby, come on! Come on! Zoe! Come on, help me up there! -Help! -Abby, no! Abby! Abby! --Abby! It's been five years since the first outbreak. When reports came out from around the world about the virus becoming an international emergency, it was too late. Few of us survived. The rest became rotters. I was one of the lucky ones to have made it to one of the refugee camps in time, only to be assigned to high rock bunker, an intelligence and recon military station to gather data of rotters for CDC. Problem is... It's been a year since we've heard from hq. And probably forever since we saw a survivor. So this is our home now... Part military base, part refugee camp. You make do with what you have, scavenge what's left of life. After all... This is going to be our home for a little while. ...please report to station four right now. Morning, Shannon. How are your headaches? Much better. Thank you, Zoe. You little devil, better let your mom sleep tonight. Here are a few announcements. Today's lockdown will occur at 1600... Obeying the speed limit, Jeremy? Never. Hey, doc, you gonna hit the shower after your morning jog? Let me know if you need a hand. Easy up, alphonse. She's taken. She knows I'm only joking, Lucy. I'm just keeping myself fresh till the right girl comes along. You might be waiting a while. That's cold, doc. Real cold. Come on, alphonse. Do you think the lieutenant is right and we're just wasting our time here? Maybe god doesn't want us to reverse what happened. Doesn't matter that Miguel thinks. We have a job to do. Got your back. Elyse, can you pass me rotter sample number eight? Sure thing. Here you go. I remember this one. Guy had a nasty set of bite marks on his hands. What do you think happened to him? I'd say he had his hands down the wrong girl's pants. --Zoe? Lily's fever shot up. The medicine you gave her didn't work. Meet me in the med ward. Where does it hurt, sweetie? Everywhere. You're such a brave little girl. Just close your eyes and rest. I'll try and make you feel better, okay? As long as Jeff can promise a heavy crop, we'll make it through winter. I'll see what I can do. Let's just hope mother nature cooperates. Any other pressing issues? Yeah, we found more rats in the warehouse, but Steve's taking care of it. I've noticed a lot of sloppiness as of late. We're at war, people. One error can ruin all the work we've done here. I won't tolerate any mistakes. Zoe, you're late. I'm sorry for interrupting, but it's serious. What is it? The antibiotics I used on Lily aren't working. She's worse. I believe it's bacterial pneumonia, which is highly contagious. I've quarantined her for now, but still-- you're the town doctor. You're telling me there's nothing you can do? I don't have the antibiotics to properly treat what Lily has. We need to go on a supply run. We've already ransacked every place within the designated range for your bullshit rotter research. Then we need to go past our usual search distance. Be bolder. I was a med student at whittendale university. The medical supply cache was secured inside a locked vault. -I know the code. -No. It's too far. I know it's far, but it is worth the risk. We would have enough medication to save Lily and to stop her illness from spreading. Or we keep Lily isolated. Keeping her isolated will not help. Her sickness will spread inside this bunker. Many of us will die. It is a medical certainty. Okay. My brother, baca, is gonna lead your little field trip. You leave tomorrow at dawn, and you come right back. No sightseeing, no side tracks. Are we absolutely clear? Yes, sir. It's gonna be okay. I missed you. No! You are mine. Somebody help me! What's wrong? Nothing. What does that mean? I have to go out. Really? We talked about this last time. I just-- i have a lot on my mind. What, and us? That's not important? I love you, Zoe. Look, I care about you. I do, but... I need to go and check on Lily right now. Hey, Zoe. Hey, sweetie. Tomorrow morning, I'm going outside to try and find something to make you better. But there are rotters out there. No, it's okay. They don't scare me. Do me a favor. Will you hold on to this for me while I'm gone? It was my mom's. It used to protect me when I was a little girl. Now, it'll do the same for you. Thank you. Good night, sweetie. Good night. Attention all civilians. Main team ready to leave in t-minus three minutes. Protocol... I'll be back before you know it. All civilians are to clear perimeter in their zones. I repeat, clear perimeter in all zones. I'm sorry about last night. I didn't... No, I shouldn't have reacted that way. Let's go get Lily her meds. Team two, how's your status? East side perimeter clear. Nothing here. I used to do this as a kid. What? You just never talked about your childhood before. Your mom? Your dad? There isn't much to talk about. How about you? My dad was an army man. Never smiled. Except when he took Miguel and I hunting. Hard to believe you two are brothers. You're so different. Miguel's always been the way he is. Always... Wanted to be the superior one. Always wanted to control things. Like my dad. You know what I miss, man? A nice, greasy cheeseburger with fries. I'd have to go with deep dish pizza, Chicago style. Solid. What about you, Elyse? I miss Maggie's place. It was a diner in Wichita my mom used to take me to. Best damn apple pie you ever tasted. Nice. Frank, what do you miss, man? Ice cream sundaes? Chicken nuggets? I miss people shutting the fuck up. Fuck! Something's wrong. Everybody pull over. All right, people. Look sharp. Stay focused. Set up a perimeter! This is a bad spot. We won't see any rotters until they're on us. It's not like we had any say where we broke down, alphonse. You guys wanna keep it down and watch your six. Talk to me, Lucy. -Come on! -Fucking radiator again. Savin said it was good to go. All right. Well, how long to fix it? Not sure. The coolant isn't getting to the engine block. The lieutenant's gonna be pissed if we show up late! Yeah, I'm aware. All right, well, come on, Lucy. We don't have much time until nightfall. I know. All right, you heard the man. First team, secure west perimeter. Second team, take the east. This is taking too long. We should turn around. We can come back in a few days. Lily can't wait a few days. I'm sorry. I just don't see the math in risking eight lives for one! Sick kid or not. Let me put it this way. What if Lily was your kid? Your sick one in the bunker? Because if we don't succeed, it could be. --Fuck! Rotters! Everybody in position! - Lucy! - -Almost there. Give me one more minute. Sounds like a swarm! Lucy, come on, we gotta go! Hurry up! Yes! I got it! Everyone back to the vehicles, now! Move, move, move, move! Go, go! -Come on! Come on! -Come on, come on, go! --Go! Now! Team two, give me a status report. All clear. Looks like we lost them. Over. Copy. Casualty report? Over. No casualties. Looks like we dodged a big one. Over. And not a moment too soon. We're here, guys. Lucy, Derek, Thomas, you stay here. Everyone else on me. Alphonse, go! Right, then the first left. Straight ahead. Take a left at the end. Clear. Let's move. Go! Here. This one on the left. Clear. Wow. These are vaccines, these are antibiotics. - Grab those first. Lucy, what's your sit-rep? All clear out here. Over. Copy that. Stay put. We'll be out in five. Yes, sir. All right, we got it. Let's go. All right, people, we gotta move. - Where's Zoe? - -I don't know. - Shots came from the south wing. - -Shit! Go, go! Jesus, Zoe. What the hell happened? Are you okay? I'm fine. I'm fine. We need to move now. Rotters are coming! Move! Go! I don't have a clear shot! God! Aah! Come on, frank, let's go! - Dear god, he's infected! - -Go! Get outta here! Go! We got to move. Go! Now! Move, move! Baca, where's frank? He's gone! Get in! Let's go! Move, move, move! Go check the humvees. You're way fucking late, baca. We ran into some car trouble. And we lost frank, too. He's dead. This is why we don't go on wild fucking goose chase supply runs. -So people don't die for nothing. -It wasn't for nothing! -We got the meds, Miguel. -It's "lieutenant." And you should have aborted the minute you had vehicle problems. We needed to get the supplies. Where's frank? Why don't you tell her, Zoe? I'm so sorry, Elle. This is all on you! It was your idea to go out there! Hey, wait up! All residents return to the bunker now. All residents return to the bunker now. All residents return to the bunker. All residents return to bunker now. You didn't hear the shift buzzer? I wanna look for my ball. I'll find it. You go inside. Main gate now closing. Sorry, thought I checked it. Sorry's not gonna cut it when there's rotters up your ass. We got it. Hey, sweetie. You came back. A promise is a promise. This may taste a little gross, but you're a brave one, right? Just a little more. Good girl. Zoe. Thank you. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Hey. This is high rock emergency bunker. If anyone can hear this message, please respond on this frequency. This is high rock emergency bunker. If anyone can hear this message, please respond on this frequency. This is high rock emergency bunker. If anyone can hear this message-- you wanted to see me? Leave the room. I asked you here, Zoe, because I think you and I have had somewhat of a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding? Don't you ever talk back to me like that again in front of the others. I'm in charge here. My job is to keep the people here safe, and I decide how that's done. Understood? Yes... Lieutenant. You're dismissed. Zoe, wait up. What did Miguel want? Why don't you ask him, baca? He's your brother. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Miguel shouldn't have blamed you for frank, all right? That's not on you. Frank knew the risks we all take going outside. What's important is that you saved Lily and everyone else here. We're all thankful for it. Thank you. I should get back to work. Fucking rats! Please make sure ration cards are stamped-- I was at the game. I'm telling you, your pitchers couldn't throw a fastball to save their lives. You need a strong bullpen to have a good baseball team. I don't care what you say. The Yankees were the best ever, man. If it weren't for the rotters, hell, we would've won the last season. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. My rangers woulda swept your guys. High rock's finest. - Please make sure... - Compliments of the chef. ...ration cards are stamped by a station officer before proceeding to line. What the fuck is with this line, Jeff? People got work details. Sorry, I got off to a late start this morning. Steve was supposed to come in and fix the broken stove, but he hasn't shown up yet. Wendy, go talk to your boyfriend. Tell him to come up here and fix this stove immediately. Yes, sir. Move it faster. Stevie? Where are you, honey? You're needed in the mess hall. Sweetie? Miguel's pissed. Help! Help! Help! Help! Hey, Lily. Jeremy. Hi, Zoe. It's past Lily's bedtime. She needs rest. You can come back tomorrow, okay? - Bye, Lily. -Bye. Hey, sweetie. Hey. I wanted to give you this back. Oh, keep it. Looks better on you. Now go to sleep. Not before my mom comes to say good night. She'll be by after her work shift. Good night, sweetie. Good night. Sweet dreams. Code red. Intruder alert. Code red. Intruder alert. Alarm in the medical wing. I repeat, alarm in the medical wing. Go! Go, go, go! Go! Oh, come on! No, no, no! Max? You recognize me? How are you still alive? Zoe! Don't kill him! He's not a rotter! Zoe, get out of the fucking way! Trust me! We need to catch him alive! Bullshit! He's a one of them! No! He's not! His name is Max! He's a patient of mine! Baca! He's the breakthrough I've been searching for! We got you now, motherfucker! What the hell? Are you all fucking crazy? -Why didn't you kill it? -Wait. He's alive. I need him for my research. Looks like a rotter to me. Yes. But we all know that rotters always bite. He had the chance to bite me before, and he didn't. Prove it. Zoe, you don't have to do that. See? It means his brain is still working. He got the bite, but something in his body stopped him from turning. He could be the breakthrough we need in beating the rotter virus. You can't cure being a rotter. I'm not talking about a cure for being a rotter. I'm talking about a vaccine for the rest of us. A bite would no longer be a death sentence. Please. Just give me a chance. This is all a bunch of bullshit. - Shoot it. - -Miguel, wait! If there's a chance Zoe can do it, we should let her try. This vaccine... Could've saved frank. Fine. Do your tests. I want it locked up at all times. If there are any issues... Put it the fuck down. Yes, sir. Only 12 hours since Max has been restrained and placed under observation, and already high rock bunker is divided up on their opinions on what we should do with him. Miguel is looking for any excuse he can find to put him down. With our current specimens of rotters' blood running low, I need to acquire additional samples to buy myself more time to find scientific proof Max is different. Max's vitals! Look at this. It's incredible. Certain internal and external parts are dead, while other parts are still very much alive. His heart, his eyes, legs, and his cranial area, all still retaining human function. Any clue as to why? No, not yet. But I need to take his blood sample. We're breaking protocol here, Zoe. He makes one wrong move, I'm shooting him. Just relax, Max. You want me, right? Here I am. Your Zoe. That's right. I know you came... All this way just for me. You like feeling my touch? Hey! I'm gonna blow your head off, you piece of shit! No, don't, Elyse. I'm fine. Zoe. Hey. So what have you found? Based on the blood sample I took, his hormone levels are off the chart. I have never seen anything like it. So you think that's what stopped the virus? Well, possibly. But there are nine hormonal glands, and I don't know which one it is. If I can find the source, I might be able to extract it to produce a testable vaccine. Okay. All right, so what do you need? I need live virus samples from living rotters. Look, maybe we can round some up from outside to bring in for tests. No! Absolutely not. I mean, you know how much I've risked letting that thing stay here? Look, I need the live samples to compare to Max's. It is the only way to know which hormone it is. Please, baca, there must be a safer way. The perimeter gate. We can use the doors to file them in one by one in a contained setting. Okay. When can we do it? Tonight. Main gate is now opening. Nine-a, prepare to initiate. Please stand clear. All personnel remain in your sector. All right, team. We do this fast, we do this efficiently. Nobody play hero here. We let in one rotter at a time. Bravo on the gate. Alpha on the rotters. I don't want Zoe in there until we have that rotter secured. Let's go fishing. Let's do this. Let them in one at a time. Weapons hot! Ready! Go! Derek, you're up! Hold him still! All secured. Zoe! We got multiple bogies incoming! We need to hurry! Got it. Clear! Okay, we got the test sample! Just one more! Go! Move! Move your fucking asses! Go, go, go! They're breaching! Step away! What the hell is taking so long? - I got him. - -They're ready to breach! Fall back! Fall back! Baca, the fence is buckling! We can't hold it! Run! Go, go, go, go! Go! Zoe. You think I'm scared of you? I've killed hundreds of you fucking rotters. I can't wait to put a bullet in you, too. She's your girlfriend. That conniving bitch. Commander, come quick! Something's happening outside! Initiating shutdown procedure. All personnel please fall back. -Get the gates! -Move your fucking asses! Go faster! They're right behind us! Go! Go! Go! Come on. How in the fuck did the rotters get inside the perimeter fence? We were getting blood samples. You just let them in? What the fuck! What the hell are you doing? My job. Protecting you people. Lieutenant, please. Zoe can help. It's too late. There's nothing she can do. It's not a head bite! The infection takes time with a bite like hers! The vaccine can work if it hasn't spread yet! Do you have the vaccine right now? I didn't think so. Are you fucking insane? One bite, one bullet. Just because you have a gun, it does not mean you get to decide who lives and who fucking dies! Are you sure about that? I thought I told you to not talk back to me. Miguel. Put the gun down. 12 hours. Then I kill it. Vaccine or no vaccine. Miguel! Wait up! What the fuck was that back there? Pointing a gun on Zoe like that? Are you out of your fucking mind? No, I'm a commanding officer whose own fucking brother went behind his back and put this whole place in danger! Zoe needed those samples for all of us, and you know that! So you follow her orders now? Let me remind you who's in charge! Not her, not you, not anybody else. Miguel, you're cracking! I get it, but that back there was bullshit! No, I'm the only one thinking rationally. Everyone's chasing her empty promises about this vaccine. I'm your brother, baca. Your own flesh and blood. Believe me when I tell you she's fooling you. Don't you see what she's doing? Why do you think she keeps this thing alive? What are you trying to say? That rotter has her name engraved on his arm. Wake up, baca! I'm sorry about Elyse. I know you two were close. Thanks, baca. Zoe, I need you to tell me that you can really do this vaccine. You losing faith in me? Of course not. It's just... I mean, you don't get it. Thomas, Elyse... I ordered them out there for you, for your vaccine. And they died. You're blaming me? Do you really think i would risk their lives if I didn't think it was worth it? Honestly, I don't know what to believe with you right now. What the fuck does that mean? What the fuck is that thing to you? That thing has your name carved into his forearm. You're hiding something from me, Zoe. So I need you to tell me. Who was that thing to you? He was a fucking psycho... Who tried to rape me. Tried to take what he wanted from me. That's who he was. There. You happy now? Do you feel better? Why didn't you just tell me? Because... Every time... I talk, think... Or look at him... I have to relive the worst fucking day of my life. Right now, i just need you to trust me and believe in me, baca. And if you can't... I'll go it alone. Uh... Let's drink tonight for those who are no longer here. To frank. Loving husband. Well, you know, here's to Thomas, a guy that made each one of us a better person. And to Elyse. I'll miss her dearly. To friends. -To friends. -Friends hey, doc. Figured you could use this. I know you been going at it a while. Thanks, alphonse. Man, you're ugly. Don't get too close. The lieutenant is right, we should just kill this slippery fuck. Stand down, Lucy. Max! Did he bite you? I don't think so. No, you're good. He didn't get you. Lucy, you need to get some ice on that head wound. Al, take her down to the med ward. Come with me. One day... And you're back trying to fuck up my life again. Zoe. What? You're nothing... But filth. You are mine. Zoe! Shut up! I have had enough of this! I know what you're trying to do, and it is not going to work. I only have a few hours to stop this virus, and nothing you say or do is going to fucking stop me! Commencement of testing for patient 15009, Max. Beginning with current hypothesis of samples. Homo sapiens blood and anomaly cells... Otherwise known as rotter's blood. Current tests show that homo sapiens blood, despite the different amounts, all react consistently with our tests. The virus shows no signs of letting up. It has, and always will, infect us at alarming rates. Patient 15009's blood, however, shows signs of dormant activity within all human blood cells. They appear to coexist without any signs of threat or exigency to our living blood samples. Despite the fact the idea of his blood in anybody, let alone mine, is nauseating, this is critical for my hypothesis for the cure. So here comes the moment of truth. Testing patient 15009's blood against the anomaly rotter cells. If this works, patient 15009's blood can be effectively engaged in our bloodstream to kill off any rotter cells before it spreads. Patient 15009's blood is the answer to destroying the rotter cells in infected bodies. If we aren't too late. Baca? Come down here right now. You are mine. Oh, hey. Zoe, Zoe, what's the matter? It's Max, he's free. -Where is he? -In the med lab. - Let's go! - -No head shots! I need him alive! -Fuck! -Shit! Sound the alarm. We need everyone to get back to the township, now! - Emergency. All military personnel please report to your squadron. Civilians are advised to remain secured in the township. Emergency. All civilians are advised to remain secured in the township. All residents to the township. I repeat. Everyone report to the township immediately. -This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Lily! Get everyone to the township! I'll meet you there! Be careful! I'll be okay! Mom? Mom? Oh, my god, Lily! What are you doing out here? She's coming! Mommy, no! Please don't! What's wrong? What's going on? Is something happening? -What do we do? -Is it the rotters? - Why are the alarm-- -quiet! Calm down, all right? Baca, is something happening? What the hell happened? It's the rotter. He's loose inside the complex. Don't worry. Everyone go back to your bed. Everything's under control. Lieutenant, something is not right. -We need to know. -Please, everything's okay. Just go back to your homes. You happy now, baca? I told you not to trust Zoe. -Find that rotter, kill it. -No, we need to take it alive. There's a chance we can still get that vaccine. Everyone that fails to comply to my orders will be executed on the spot. We got a problem in the motor pool. Guards aren't responding. Okay, we gotta get to the motor pool. Lucy, alphonse, stay here, protect the people. - Everyone else on me! - -Copy that! Lily. Let her go. Zoe. Let her go, Max. I... Came for you. You... Need me. You want me alive... Let her go. No! Okay, okay. Now. Main gate is now opening. Aah! Let's go now! No! No! Lily! Zoe! Zoe! Move! Move! Move! Move! Aah! Lieutenant, what's the report on the motor pool? Lieutenant, do you read me? --Fuck! Shannon! Cover me! I'm going to close the door! Miguel, open that fucking door! Lily and Zoe are still outside! I don't give a fuck! The rotters got in because of that bitch Zoe. That door stays closed. I am not leaving them outside! Stand down, baca. So what, you're gonna shoot your own brother now? I will if I have to. Don't make me do it. Miguel! Main gate is now opening. Please stand clear. Main gate is now opening. Please stand clear. Lily! Sweetie, are you okay? Yeah. Here, come on. In here, sweetie. Zoe. You are... Mine! No. You're mine, motherfucker! Come on, lil. Baca, don't! It's too late. I can feel it in my body. It's turning me. You haven't fully turned yet. The vaccine can still work. No. I don't wanna be one of those things, Zoe. Baca, please. -I'm sorry. -I can stop the virus. Believe me. I can stop the virus. You just have to trust me. I love you, baca. I've used up what I could from patient-- from Max's blood on baca. I could only dispense so much as I need the remaining samples to create a mass production schedule for the antivirus. I dislike the idea that baca is technically and conveniently my first human test subject. This will speed things up in getting the antivirus into mass production for everybody. To everybody out there, to anyone who is listening, I'm broadcasting this from high rock emergency bunker. Our doors are open. We have an inoculation against the rotter bite, a vaccine that will keep anyone who takes it from turning. From now on, when you greet the day, know this world is not as dangerous as it used to be. Things are changing. And while we can't put the world back, there's still beauty in it. There's still hope that we can be safe and that it's okay for us to let our guard down now, to be happy... And to love. |
