Original subtitles

Pronto. Is this Dr. Martins?

Yes, this is Dr. Martins. Who is this?

NASA Space Biosciences Research.

We're patching for your call.

My call. I don't have a call. Hello?

Who is it now?

Why can't I talk to the same person? Hello, this is Dr. Martins. Oh, please.

Who is this?

Something came out of your tank!

Okay, slow down. Can you tell me your name, please? I told the man! I told him

all six times I've called already!

Always a different person. Where am I calling now?

Rome. I'm a research microbiologist at Sapienza.

Oh. Why'd they give me you?

I consult for NASA sometimes.

Epidemiological surveillance.

Now it's your turn. Who are you, sir?

Enos Minjera.

I live in Kiwikura.

Kiwikura, where is that?

We're dying.

We're all dying!

Something came out of your tank! What tank?

The one Uncle found near Tanami Basin.

Australia? Yes!

A long time ago, in the 70s.

But now something came out. And if you're NASA, this is your tank!

You have to help us!

Where did the tank come from?

Where did it come from?

Hello! Are you still there?

Hello!

Stop! Can you hear me? I can't hear you.

Dr. Hero Martin.

Major Robert Quinn.

DTRA.

This is my partner, Lieutenant Colonel Trina Romano.

How are you?

Where's the rest of your team?

They're looking at us.

Okay, let's get started.

I thought the Skylab space station fell in the Indian Ocean in 79.

Well, most of it did.

But when it broke up in the atmosphere, one of the O2 tanks was recovered near

here. Some guy found it, put it in front of his house, thought people might pay

to come see it.

Just an empty oxygen tank.

But no, this one wasn't empty.

It was sent up with a microbial organism, a parasitic fungus that could

from one species to another.

So we sent up a terrestrial fungus and it came back down. What's the problem?

The problem is I think what went into the tank is not what came out.

And now everyone in Kibakura is dying.

Or dead.

No one has been in or out since that phone call.

Epinephrine, yeah?

Yeah. I would rather not discover a lethal allergy in the hard way.

When were you first notified?

Less than 30 hours ago.

So when did the outbreak start?

That's unclear.

Have you been called for this sort of thing before?

Space shit? Oh, all the time.

Robert? Sorry.

No.

Bioweapons and nuclear threats? Yes.

Extraterrestrials? No.

Why would they intentionally send a hazardous organism into space?

Research? To develop an antifungal medication for astronauts.

Switching body cams on.

Somebody tried to leave. They arrived.

Maybe people come from all over Australia just to stay here.

14

houses,

12 cars, and no people.

So where the hell is everybody?

I found it.

Over here.

Here we go.

We don't know what we're dealing with.

Don't touch the tank. Stay behind me.

It's a folkloric solution.

Potatoes and dish soap. The guy must have been trying to clean it.

Microfishes in the tank.

Polysaccharide in the potato.

Sodium palmitate in the soap.

Dripped into the tank. It's protein rich.

The guy might not have meant to, but he created one hell of a pro -growth

environment.

All it needs is some water and it would really multiply.

Who the hell are you?

Hey, can you, um, just grab the loop in my suit?

I'm gonna pull against you. Yeah. But just don't let me go, okay? Yeah.

I got you. All right, if I start to fall, just pull back hard. Ready?

Jesus Christ.

What is it?

I don't know, but it's big, fast, and it's heterotrophic.

Okay. Yeah, thanks. Hey, I found a body.

Palkmark's in the skin.

Erupted flesh.

He burst.

I'll say.

Plates of the skull are split.

All eight seam lines.

What?

It's all of them.

Where the hell did they all climb their roof?

It told them to.

The fungus?

Yes. That's how an insect's pathogenic fungus reproduces. It controls all brain

function, movement, reflex, impulse.

It's driven to infect other hosts any way it can.

Sometimes it tells them to climb and wait.

For what? For the fungus to overfill its body cavity and burst and spread.

But that's only insects.

It was.

Get your sample, dog, or let's get the hell out of here.

Maybe the tank picked up a hitchhiker, maybe a four penetrated its shell upon

reentry, but however it happened, I think we created a new species.

We need to burn this place to the ground right away. A couple M47s loaded with

white phosphorus ought to do the job. Yeah.

That'll cover any spread.

Dr. Martens.

Come on, we need to go.

All right, I'm done.

Come on, let's move.

You smell that?

Burnt toast?

Your suit?

It's not possible.

My suit is filled and overpressured. There's nothing in here but oxygen and

clean CO2.

Feel anything?

A little hot.

We'll lose the suits at the Jeep. They need to burn here anyway.

We'll check yours for breaches.

Who the hell's going to store this thing?

CDC?

Atlanta and Galveston will both classify extraterrestrial. They'll reject it

outright. For Dietrich?

Still in a top -down with you after that last breach. I didn't trust it to them.

What about the Hedges?

What, the mines in Kansas?

Exactly. Nobody ever uses it.

Yeah, not bad.

No. No.

Hero, you okay?

Stop.

Can you hear me?

infectious.

Making the decision to change your life is a courageous first step.

Once you're convinced of the need for change, some of that courage will need

be directed outward into a world that would prefer you stay exactly as you

Dealing with difficult and confrontational people is, like many

that can be developed over time.

No change.

Without... Well, shithead?

Told you, Griffin.

Can't help you. Wish I could, but I can't.

Sorry. I knew you were stupid. Didn't think you were that stupid.

I'm not stupid.

I mean, listen, I get you're my boss and all, and I would help you if I could,

but it messed up for me vis -a -vis my...

You know, personal situation, and I'm not going to do it.

Okay, so you think about it.

No. Well, she didn't even know about it. It's a big goddamn deal. Nobody's going

to know.

I've heard those words before.

You do it.

I don't work nights.

No one's going to come for that shit in the daytime. So just let him in so you

and me don't have a problem.

Why do we got to have a problem?

Because you know.

But you're not in.

And if you're not in, and you know...

You got the new help tonight.

She's on walk and lock check till 12.

What's her name?

Don't get any ideas.

She's already hitting on me.

Something's beeping in there. Fix it.

What?

Ah,

Mrs. Rooney, how's it going?

Thing cool?

I need to get into SB 114.

It's my anniversary.

Okay. Super hot out, right? Kind of weird this time of year.

I need to get into it quick.

God, absolutely.

Storage emergency.

I totally get it. It's snowing. It's sunny. It's raining.

It's hot. I don't know. But I guess we've got to get used to it, you know?

you stop?

Yeah.

Please, let me get the elevator for you. Just one sec.

All right there, Ms. Rooney.

Well, trying not to get lost down there. It can be pretty confusing. I mean, for

me, I'm here every day. Going down.

Keep an eye on you.

Take two.

Maybe.

maybe first we'll have a nap

feeling

unhappy stressed and exhausted as a result of constantly putting other

Sorry. Hello.

Can I get your opinion on something real quick?

Sorry.

So, what, you just started picking up shifts this week?

Sorry.

Yeah, it's a pretty shit job, you know.

But, whatever.

Discount on storage.

I got a little thoughts on that, though.

Basically, don't do it.

Hanging on to all your shit forever?

It's a really terrible idea.

This whole industry's a racket.

It's like crack.

You just keep piling more and more shit in there, and pretty soon, you can't

throw anything out. I don't hear anything.

Well, I definitely heard it.

Well, not definitely. I mean, I was, like, I don't know, aware of it, you

what I mean?

Like, I was having an argument with my brain about it.

Does that ever happen to you?

You are very chatty.

Yeah, I know.

It can be a problem.

I'm Tea Cake.

Tea Cake.

You must have loved that book.

What book?

You're named after a famous character from a book.

Oh.

No, that ain't it.

Long story.

Fairly annoying.

What? I said I do not want to hear it.

Yeah, well, you always have a problem.

I've got to go.

Long story.

Fairly annoying.

Yeah.

I'm Naomi.

Nice to meet you.

See what I'm saying?

Hello?

Hello?

I'm calling about the 1978 Plymouth Duster for sale.

Are you there?

Give me five minutes.

Who's that?

My other wife.

How can you be funny right away in the middle of the night?

It's a gift.

One of the kids?

No. New voice.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Somebody having a panic attack.

Go back to sleep.

You want to call Griffin?

Under no circumstance do I want to call Griffin.

He tried that shit on you already?

He's a pig.

Pigs do.

Damn. Call the office. Get his ass fired.

It won't play out that way. I need the job.

You guys get to flip those TVs he brought you yet?

That has not come up.

Oh, it will.

Trust me.

He's got like a million of them stashed in a couple units up there and

downstairs.

Dad.

It's coming from inside the wall. Yeah.

What do you want to do about it?

What I want to do is take this picture down, go to the tool closet, grab a claw

bar.

Smash a hole through this cheap -ass gypsum sheetrock and see what the hell's

beating back there. Well, I'm okay with that if you are. Well, I said that's

what I want to do, not what I'm going to do. Oh, come on. We can hang the

picture back up over the hole to cover it, bring in a piece of sheetrock

tomorrow. I'm pretty handy. I can help you patch it up. Nobody will know the

difference. Why would we do that?

I have a very curious nature.

Clearly. No, I don't think so.

It's my, uh, kid's dad.

High school.

Shit happens.

Yeah, that it does.

He is a hopeless man -child, and that sort of shit makes me want to smash

through walls.

Let's do it.

So we can see a dead smoke alarm?

I don't think so. Maybe it's a smoke alarm.

But maybe it's something terrible.

I mean, we're guards, right? We're supposed to guard the place.

Yeah. You know I need this job, too.

You're not going to lose it.

No, you don't understand. I have to have this job.

I get it.

No, you don't. I mean, it's like a condition.

I said I get it.

I've lived here all my life.

I know what a parole condition is, and I know where black and gray tattoos with

shitty ballpoint ink get done.

Ellsworth, right?

I mean, I'm hoping it was Ellsworth.

Yeah, it was.

Great. So you're not violent.

Now will you go and get the claw bar and smash through that wall for me?

What time did the

alert come in?

3 .14 p .m. Central Standard Time. And you're just calling me now?

It took some time to figure out who to call.

Okay. I'm 73 miles from Seymour Johnson.

I can be there in 90 minutes.

I need a plane from there and a car waiting at the other end.

Is it your opinion this qualifies as a heightened threat?

My opinion is it qualified as an exceptional threat at 3 .14 p .m. I'll

I can do about transportation. I'm not finished.

I don't have any equipment I need.

Everything on the list. I'm sorry, Mr.

Quinn, I'm just not familiar with... I wrote an ECI white paper in 2009.

It's compartmented and stored in a clean vault.

Read the report and have everything listed in Appendix A in the car in

when I land.

Understood? I can't do all that without multiple authorizations.

Listen to me. This fungus is intensely adaptable. It will mutate and spread in

unpredictable ways.

Get Gordon Gray to clear you.

Only Gordon Gray.

Don't call anyone else.

What's your name?

You know we can't give that kind of information out over the phone. Just

first one.

Even a fake one.

Some things they call you.

Abigail.

Okay, Abigail.

Remember those good grades you got in high school?

And the sports you trained your ass off for?

The college you fought to get into.

Remember the abuse you put up with your first year in the department?

We are at pucker factor 10, Abigail.

But you and I are going to sort this shit.

Sounds good?

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Get this stuff on the list.

I'll be at Seymour in 90 minutes.

Oh, can I just stop back here?

Sorry.

What's that say?

I've got to get a close look.

PTC thermistor breach.

Only give me a second.

Oh my God, are you okay?

Wow.

Airtight integrity.

Yeah, plus or minus 0 .1 degrees Celsius.

Cold chain synchronicity. Jesus, there's like 20 of them.

That's the only one that's blinking.

NTC, thermistor breach.

What's it do?

Well, thermistor is part of an electrical circuit. There are two kinds.

positive kind, where resistance rises with temperature, and the negative kind,

where the resistance falls when the temperature goes up.

So, like a thermometer?

Um, no, like a circuit that's reactive to temperature.

Like a thermometer?

It's not a thermometer.

What are you, all science -y and shit?

Well, I wouldn't say and shit.

Take a lot of science.

Prerequisite for vet school.

Whoa.

What are you doing?

That was fun.

Yeah, this place was a military storage back in the day.

Weapons and what have you.

They cleaned it out and sold it a long time ago.

Storage is only on ground floor and two sub -levels. But this lab is what they

care about. See the sensors?

They're all in bunches down here. The lower sub -basement.

SB4.

You want to go down and see it?

No.

I mean, they filled it off.

What's that?

It's a tube ladder.

I'm not going down there.

Oh, come on.

This is like the most fun I've had in years. This is like a night out for me.

This is great.

Jesus.

That's depressing. Okay.

What, you don't go out?

Not really.

What about for like a beer?

I don't drink.

Not even for one beer?

That would be drinking.

You know what?

I thought you were a fun cupcake.

You started out fun. Who, me?

Oh, I'm fun.

Oh, I'm huge fun.

You're the one who just said your best night out in years is vandalizing your

workplace. And that's cool. And I'm like cooperating. You look at me with those

eyes. You guys say, please smash a hole in the wall.

I'm on board. And then you say, let's crawl into this weird space and check it

out. Still good.

I'm into it. But then you come at me like.

go crawl down the tube ladder a couple hundred feet into the blocked off part

the abandoned government and see why the thermistor alarm is going off and a

guy's just got to take a second to like think things through you feel me you

like my eyes yeah in fact i do it's very sweet my

point is i'm kind of easy to talk into things and that's why i got the problems

i got But I spend a lot of time working on my personal shit so I don't just walk

into everything that everybody asks me to do all the time, which is what I'm

doing right now. Right? I'm just taking a little... a moment.

Okay.

Word of advice.

If a guy who goes by Hazy Davey ever asks you to wait behind the wheel while

runs in the convenience store real quick, you should for sure remember you

something else to do right away. Okay?

I'm sorry.

But I...

I was not being cool.

That's more like it.

You coming or what?

See if that picture's gonna cover that hole.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Going down.

South Meckle 2.

Okay.

What do you think is this way?

What, some janitor's closet?

Uh, that doesn't make sense.

The only person that comes in here is Dave, and he's a horrible janitor, so

never in here.

That's weird. It's supposed to go 50 feet that way.

Is that not one?

Oh, that's cool.

Thanks.

These are crazy.

Do you think we're going to get in trouble for this?

Probably.

Oh.

I mean, there's no wonder we're going off.

What are you going to do, call the cops?

No. Call Griffin?

Absolutely not.

Wasn't crunk of shit by now, dog.

Why do you talk like that?

Like what?

Like you're from the hood.

Everybody I know talk like this.

Well, you know me now.

I don't talk like that. Yeah, because you're all smart and shit with your time

and your medical and your general and what have you.

You know what you are?

Equatious.

Equatious? Mm -hmm.

Yeah, I like that.

It's like some detective movie from the 70s.

Loquacious Jackson.

He ain't bringing anybody home alive.

You ever see Foxy Brown? Man, that movie is the shit.

She pulls a gun out of her hair. Oh, that part was so classic.

What's that mean, by the way?

Loquacious? Talking is easy for you.

Yeah, I guess so.

So what's your real name?

Uh, Travis.

Travis?

That's a nice name. You should use it more.

I think you're peeing on one of these things.

I have no idea.

Like a little, uh... So, where'd your nickname come from?

I don't know you well enough.

There it is! It's here!

That's it!

The tube ladder!

Great.

Shit.

How far down do you go?

I don't know. I mean, 400, maybe 500 feet.

Hey!

Oh, God.

Okay, so you're going down first.

Ridiculous bullshit I got to put up with from this woman, I swear to God.

Hi, this is Naomi.

Please leave a message.

Hi, honey.

Uh, it's me. Well, this is what happens.

You know, you don't talk to someone. I got no choice but to show up at your

place of work. I mean, it's just what happens.

Okay, look, I've got a problem, okay?

And I can't go home, and I don't know what to do. And the problem is... The

problem is it's in my trunk.

Okay, and I'm here now and my trunk is here obviously and I need your help.

So I'm coming in I'm coming in

No. No, you're dead.

You're dead. You're supposed to be dead.

Mr. Scroggins?

Mr. Scroggins?

Mr. Scroggins?

You're alive.

Listen, I'm so sorry I shot you, man.

But you're okay.

happened to you come here come here

So is your kid a boy or a girl?

Girls.

Huh.

Name?

Sarah. She's six.

You're pretty young, you know.

You're like a kid.

Okay.

Did you think twice about that?

Having her?

Yeah. Of course, I was 18.

You regret it?

Sorry, is that something you said?

No, I...

Real, like really real.

Most guys don't ask about it.

Huh.

Well, I don't mean to get all personal or anything.

That's okay.

D -T -R -A, access only.

Yeah, I sure would like to know what those letters stand for.

What if it's don't touch radiation apple?

Yeah, that would be some amusing shit.

You know, I'm...

I'm cool with going back up if you want.

Actually...

Weird. I don't hear any pumps or anything.

Underground cold spring?

I guess so.

Coming from in there.

You want to open it?

Nope, I'm good. I'm good.

It's a rat king.

What the hell's a rat king? They wrote about them in the Middle Ages or in the

plague. They thought they were like a bad omen. No shit is a bad omen. Look at

this thing.

How'd they get like that?

Doesn't their tail feel like knotted and stuck together with pine sap or

something? Holy shit, that was eating me up.

This is some horrific, repugnant shit, man. I have never seen anything like

in my entire goddamn life, and I've seen some crazy shit. This is fucked.

It's not pine sap. It's like a...

Rhyme mold?

I think you're making it angry. It's not a mold. There's no frost.

It's moving.

It's like fungal ooze.

God, that is a lot of fungus.

What is that stuff?

Yo, what are you doing?

Hey, homie!

The door's hot.

Yep. And there's green speed coming out of that room, there's a goddamn rat

king, and curiosity and exhaustion and everything, but I think it's time we get

the hell out of here, okay? Me too.

Did you get any of that shit on you? No.

You sure?

No. Oh, great.

Gotta find Naomi.

Gotta find Naomi.

Que paso, Abigail?

I was very specific.

Is there a problem?

My screen has you over Fayetteville already.

You have me on a modified command transport.

Which means it's official, and I'm locked.

There's going to be a welcoming committee on the other end.

You didn't call Gordon Gray.

Mr. Gray passed away a year and a half ago.

I see. That explains a lot.

I'm sorry.

Who did you call instead?

Thank you, Lieutenant.

You can clear the line now.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Robert.

How's it back?

Hey, Jerebik.

I thought you put this one to bed 20 years ago.

18.

Apparently it woke up.

Sounds like a broken thermistor to me. That would be nice to think.

I don't share this particular obsession of yours and Gordon's. You never saw

what it can do.

No one has because it's been safely contained for 20 years.

Did you seal the place up and sold it? It was contained permanently.

Sure. Unless Gordon died and the climate changed and the underground spring

warmed up.

Oh, shit. That all happened.

I will not get sucked into this conversation with you. You're on that

solely as a gesture of respect to the old man.

Threat assessment and sub -report for matches.

That's all I want.

No off -the -book stuff, clear?

I'll check it out and go home.

Oh, by the way, you're welcome.

I'm not exactly on the clock anymore.

You should probably take me off the file.

Yeah, I'll do that.

Up yours, asshole.

I'm still here, Robert.

I know.

Abigail? I'm secure.

On my personal cell.

I take it you read my white paper.

I did. Was it as bad as what you wrote?

It's worse, Abigail.

And Jerebik and all the people in power now don't understand that. They would

stop us from doing what needs to be done until it's too late.

But we won't let them. What do you need from me? Airplane Wi -Fi won't be secure

enough for the conversations I need to have.

So you have to make the calls for me.

Start with a former agent named Trini Romano.

Tell her Margo is under the weather.

I'm not saying I am.

Darius, I'm just saying I'm late.

I'm really sorry. Do you mind?

Claire. Trini will help you with the list. Even item seven.

Especially item seven.

Believe it or not, Abigail, I've done all this before.

Including item seven?

Call Trini Romano.

Jesus.

Oh. Who are these guys?

What the hell?

Oh,

my God.

I know.

Travis.

I'm confused.

That fucking deer just took the fucking elevator.

One day or another, I'm going to find you.

I'm going to get you, get you, get you, get you. One day or another, I'm going

to win you.

I'm going to get you, get you, get you, get you. One day or another, I'm going

to see you.

I'm going to meet you, meet you, meet you, meet you. One day or another, I'm

going to meet you.

I'm going to meet you. I'm going to meet you.

52 years.

Whoever DTR is, we gotta call them. Like now.

Going up.

Get out of here and then call them? Yeah, the stairs.

That's like some seriously upsetting shit.

uh -oh

You were in the elevator with that thing?

Are you okay, man?

I shot Mr. Scroggins.

You what?

Wait, who the hell is Mr. Scroggins?

Mary the Cat. I love that cat. What is wrong with you? Why would you do that?

I didn't know it was loaded, and then I thought he was dead, but he blew up. Now

he's green stuff.

So this is dead, huh?

Open your mouth.

I want to throw up in it.

What?

What in the name of heaven's glory?

Um, DTRA has a number for a place called Fort Belvoir. Yeah, it's a military

base. So do I call them or do I call the cops?

Call the fucking army.

How's it possible you're still alive?

Too mean to die.

Sexy ride.

Very pride people. Don't even start.

Yep, it's all there.

Including item seven?

No, we have to pick that one up.

Are you kidding me?

Abigail? I got a call from inside Atchison.

Who? civilian 23 year old woman how'd you get your number she googled it sorry

off the door and called the emergency number okay she's no dummy good i have

on the other line on the burner you want her yes hang on her name's naomi

civilian inside the facility i hope she's enjoyed a full life

hello naomi my name is robert i've been wanting to know what's going on i

hear someone else there with you Could you please ask him to shut the fuck up?

What did you say?

Travis, can you please shut the fuck up? Okay, um, we have a real problem here.

There's like a virus or a fungus.

Correct him the second one.

I know all about it. Are you somewhere safe?

We're locked in a storage unit. Stay there. Has anyone come into direct

contact with the fungus?

At least one person.

The deer!

The deer, the deer. Um, there was a deer and it was infected and it blew up.

Inside or outside?

I'm sorry, did you hear what I just said? I said it blew up.

I heard you.

And I asked where.

In the hallway.

Yeah, that means it didn't try to climb. So it's adapting, finding new ways to

spread. Okay, listen, Naomi.

You called the right people.

Some of us have encountered this situation before.

Stay put, do you hear me? Do not let it make contact with your skin. Do not call

anyone else.

Speak only to Abigail or to me, Naomi.

Understand? I understand.

Keep Travis calm.

I heard my name. Is he talking about me? He sounds like the typhoon I tried to

run. Don't let him.

Forty minutes.

You're gonna be fine.

I promise.

We're gonna be fine.

We're gonna be fine.

They're gonna die.

Aren't they?

Probably.

It's like some zombie shit.

Zombies are not real.

Zombies are real.

Zombies are 100 % real.

No, they're not, Travis.

It's like movies, TV shows.

Yes, and some really fucking excellent TV and movies I'd like to point out, but

that's not what I'm talking about. Real zombies are based on the shit in Haiti.

It's dead bodies that they turn into slaves with magic.

I can't believe you didn't know that. You want to be a vet? Is that really

you think is going on here, Haitian magic? This thing is spreading.

It wants to spread.

A rat king, an exploding deer, a dude that wants to throw up in your mouth. It

may be down here, but it's trying like hell to get out there into the real

world.

And we got to try to stop it.

No, thank you.

You don't want to save the world? I just want to get home to my kid.

Okay, if no one else comes and we stay in here, then we're fine. You know,

contained.

They're here.

Oh, fuck yes.

Oh, too soon.

Okay. The Rep.

Ironhead, everybody knows.

Cuba, garbage.

And Dr. Stephen Freeman. Hi.

This better be worth it, Griffin.

For a brand new 70 -inch 4K Ultra with a curved screen, asshole.

Who gives a shit about a curved screen?

If they're such hot titty, how come it took you six months to sell them?

I think a curved screen sounds cool.

Whoa, Griffin.

Quite some mess.

Huh?

What is that shit?

I'm glad you have some personnel problems, Daryl.

What did you do to my lobby? And where the hell are you? Shit.

They're inside.

I'm gonna kill you, shithead.

I'm gonna kill you.

And obviously you're fired. Okay, stop.

Jesus, look at that.

This shit is insane.

That's some kind of joke. Hey, man, you want to load eight TVs in the back of my

truck, you got 20 minutes.

And I'm getting the hell out of here before the storm comes.

I had a hygienist. She was stealing from me.

I mean, what can you do?

Personal problems are the worst.

Hello?

It's your eyes, guys.

Your grandkids.

Oh, come on. It's not like they know how to activate it. Jesus, you're

overcautious.

Here. Take the 72 north. You'll be there in 20 minutes. I'll get an Uber.

Sure you don't want to come. Old time's sake.

I'd hack up a lung and get us both killed.

Yeah.

You know, I never stopped having nightmares about that poor woman in

Me neither.

You'll try to save these two, won't you?

I'll try like hell to save us all.

He's not out there.

I don't care. I'm not going out there.

What do you mean? Those people are going to die.

I have Sarah at home, and Griffin?

He is a pig. I'm not doing it.

The guy on the phone said that he will be here in 20 minutes. 20 minutes!

Yeah, who's that exactly?

Some guy who talks a big game?

Some lady at Fort Belvoir who goes to hang up and call back on her own phone?

These people are amateurs, man. They're just as scared as we are.

Now, if you told me you talked to General...

Dick Steele or whoever and he said half a dozen Sikorsky's are flying in here

armed with missiles playing don't fear the Reaper on big speakers I'd say for

sure. Let's just kick back and let that happen, but they aren't Naomi.

Got one job All right. It's a shit job.

But it's my shit job.

This place hired me right out of prison and nobody else would do that So I would

very much like just one.

Not screw something up.

You can wait here if you want, but I'm going to go stop the zombie shit.

You... You are a lot more interesting than you look at first.

Work on that compliment. I'll try it again later.

Lock the door after me.

I said rip a hole in the wall.

You ripped a hole in the wall.

You were all in.

Now I'm all in.

You coming or what?

That's great work.

Going to fun.

Active shooter.

In fact, it was this kind of horrible zombie shit, and he was going to barf

over us into our mouths.

Yeah, let's get you out of here.

We're not going to take the elevator.

Let's take you over this way. Come on. What do you mean they left?

I mean they're not in the unit.

Why the hell not?

She said there were others inside the facility, and they had to warn them.

Shit. How many others?

She didn't say. She hung up on me. I called back four times. She doesn't

When was this?

Four minutes ago.

Changes?

Only everything.

I have a friend at the ADF East. There you go.

I'll be there in eight minutes.

Get eyes overhead ASAP.

Any infected people leave that place, I need to know how many and where they go.

I'm on it. Abigail, you know what I have to do, right?

I read the white paper.

And you're okay with it?

Is there a choice?

No.

Call you back at six.

Mrs. Rooney, you're going to go up the stairs, take two right, out the side

door, and that's it. You're good to go. All right. Okay. Oh, Mrs. Rooney! Mrs.

Rooney! What?

The gun.

Toss the gun on the river.

Okay.

Jesus Christ.

You hear me?

Yeah, I'm coming in. I'm strapped.

Hands in the air.

It's me.

My hands are in the air. Drop the gun.

I don't have a gun, man.

It's too down. He does not appear to have a gun. You!

Me? Glasses, yeah.

Get away from that shit, man.

Don't touch that.

That's some dangerous shit.

Okay? Down on the floor, up against the wall.

Which one, man? On the floor or the wall?

Ironhead? Open this door.

Ironhead, what the hell are you doing, man?

What do you lock him in there for?

They're infected.

Do what?

Bad shit!

Open that door.

No. I'm telling you, I need to take... You

fucking show me.

Yeah, and I'll shoot you again unless you open that goddamn door.

Do it!

I will put a goddamn bullet in your head if you don't open that door.

You have a trail!

I'm coming.

What's up with that idea, man? Daryl?

Daryl? Daryl, you gotta put the gun down. Daryl! Shut up, you nerd!

Do it!

You stupid mother... Give me the gun, Carol!

What are you... Oh, my God, you're

bleeding! I'm okay, come on! What the hell are you doing, man?

I've never seen anything like that.

That's like a twist, bro.

You've seen anything like that?

No, no one has.

That's great. This way, come on.

Oh.

Abigail. Normal.

Normal.

Robert?

You're Naomi?

Yeah.

I've heard about enough people pointing guns at me for one night, okay?

It must be Travis.

Where's your crew?

I'm Ed.

You're Ed? You're the only person?

Why is she shouting? Gunshot next to the ear. She can't hear on the right side.

Who else has a gun in there?

So far, everybody but us.

We'll fix that. Come on.

Ironhead, the door's locked and you've got my key.

I've never shot a gun.

15 -round magazine.

Now there's a round in the chamber.

Trigger safety right on it.

Nothing to it.

Okay, you two may have started the night minimum wage guards work in the

graveyard.

But you're a green light team now.

What are those?

Level four hazmat suits.

Positive pressurization.

Self -contained breathing.

Fully chem -resistant. And a two -way radio.

Put them on.

You have to go back downstairs.

To place this device.

It has a selectable yield.

One, three, five, ten, or eighty kilotons.

We'll go with three.

Nah. Eighty -five. What the hell? Wait a second. Uh, you brought a nuke? A

nuke? A fucking suitcase bomb?

Listen to me.

It is not a suitcase bomb. There is no such thing as a suitcase bomb.

What kind of invading ground force carries suitcases?

That is a nuke.

What are you, nuts?

Have you seen what the fungus can do?

You're going to kill everybody in eastern Kansas, man. We're not killing

Detonation will be hundreds of feet underground.

This immediate area will be irradiated. But there will be no atmospheric

fallout. And the problem will be solved.

Do it right, and we'll all get medals.

He's right.

You saw how fast that thing spreads.

You'll carry this down to sub -level four and activate the triggering

I'll show you how.

Once it starts, you have between 9 and 16 minutes to get out and get a mile

from here. Between 9 and 16?

The timer duration's a little unstable without a metal wire.

Okay, yeah.

What are you going to do? I'm going to stay up here and remove any infected

organisms that try to escape the area. Remove?

I'm going to kill them, Naomi.

I'm going to execute people whose only crime is that they were exposed to a

deadly fungus.

You want my part of the job or yours?

Yeah, strap that shit on.

Get away from me. Get away. Get back.

Easy, man.

That was horrible.

So I think we should all just get out of here.

No shit. We're leaving you first. Go on.

Cuba Cuba I

don't feel

to get down there. A couple minutes to set it up. Before we get back here.

No, it's harder. Six minutes minimum.

You've got incoming.

Where? Around the corner of the building. Ten seconds.

Mail. Moving fast. Major heat signature.

On the left.

I got nothing. More left.

Nothing? More left. He's right behind you.

Get off of me!

Son of a bitch!

Tommy. Want me to carry it?

I got it.

Okay. Chuck it down there, hope for the best?

I don't think so.

Robert! Are you alright?

It's my fucking back.

I can still take them out from here.

Almost there.

I got it.

Robert, what the hell is happening there?

What was that?

Where are you going?

How much time do we have to get out? At least nine minutes after we start the

timer. Yeah, what if that's not enough?

I don't know. We die.

It's stuck.

Let me help.

What happened?

It's on water.

If it makes it through that pipe, it'll get into the groundwater, and then that

will take it through to the Missouri River.

Let's blow this shit up.

Do you think we have to put it in that room?

Nah, you're fine.

Oh, my God.

That son of a bitch started it. Come on.

I hate this job.

Oh, thank God.

The time of duration is unstable.

What the hell's happening?

It might go off early. It might go off late. Just hurry up!

I think I'm getting a bit unpleasant here, Abigail.

The fungus is moving towards you. No kidding.

Through the door.

Keep moving.

Hey, asshole.

You're all out.

I heard your clip go dry.

You think so?

Come on out here and find out.

I think I'm fucked up.

Next, you bastard.

You tracked my bike, huh?

Fine, I'll take your ride.

Some every man for himself kind of shit going on here.

You gotta go.

Go fuck yourself.

Take your greasy hand out of his pants.

Who the hell are you?

Okay to go? Okay to go.

Go where?

Are you all right?

Get back. It's fine.

Oh, shut up.

I got you.

You've got to get out of here.

Were you paying attention when he showed you out?

Yeah, you were.

We need to leave now.

Come on, come on.

No, go.

No, go. No, go.

We're clean. We're clean.

We're clean.

We have to leave.

Holy shit, Christian said.

Yeah, that guy was an asshole.

You started that timer on us?

I knew you could get out.

You did not know that.

I had a hunch.

You had a hunch?

Solid hunch.

I did not think these two shitheads were going to make it.

We haven't yet.

How much have we got? It should have come off one minute and seven seconds

You brought a defective suitcase bomb, didn't you? There's no such thing as a

suitcase bomb. I already told them that.

The timer duration is unstable.

You all please stop saying that!

How about now?

My phone's called.

Sorry, Colonel, that's just not accurate.

In the hours immediately following the Atchison incident, you tried to silence

the very people who prevented the spread of the fungus. Hold on, hold on now.

Yeah, go ahead, jerk off.

Try to spin your ass out of this one.

I'd like to get back to the preparations we're now making to ensure that nothing

like this happens in the future, do you understand?

And you may well have been successful, if not for the heroic actions of this

man, retired DTRA Officer Robert Quinn.

whose white paper report from 2009 warned of the possibility of this very

incident.

So, what's the over on how long until he gets fired?

48 hours?

Abigail.

Ishani, actually.

Ishani.

My white paper got out. That was you.

Mama didn't raise no patsies.

Nice.

Sorry, your drugs, apparently.

Hey, McAllen, how'd you know?

I cheated. It was in your file.

Yeah?

I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For reminding me why I joined.

To blow shit up.

To be there.

When needed.

And you were.

Hey. Mission ain't over.

Bore me a large one.

Not on the painkiller's dummy.

Careful!

Look out.

I was about, like, 16,

17, thereabouts.

Me and my boys were rolling around, got the munchies, and we pull off, you know,

get some Twinkies or something like that.

I'm the last one in, though, so they get all the good stuff, and all the stuff.

When I get there, there's this thing called Aunt Sarah's Tea Cake, so... This

where the nickname came from?

I buy it. I like it.

I say, I want to go back, get another one.

And for some reason, my boys think this is some hilarious shit.

So...

They started saying things like, hey, T -Cake, where's your T -Cake?

You know, crazy, brilliant, witty stuff like that. And that was

it.

I was T -Cake.

And I never really heard my given name since.

Nobody even asked me.

Until you.

Steve Travis.

LaQuisha.

Thank you.
