38 INT. FACILITY – CORRIDOR - NEXT 38
The team hurries along the corridor, running like there's a
devil chasing them as the ALARMS still blare overhead.
TWIST
I'd say that went pretty screwed
up.
CHRIS
I think that sums this...
They come to a stop as they run into a squad of ARMED GUARDS,
guns raised.
CHRIS (cont'd)
... up.
GUARD #1
Nobody move! Lower your weapons and
get down on the ground!
TWIST
(innocent)
I don't suppose this could all be
sorted out with a promise never to
do it again?
GUARD #1 looks at her and then SMACKS her in the face with
the butt of his rifle. She falls, unconscious, to the floor.
DANYAEL
Twist!
The guards lunge into the team, attempting to knock them out.
One grabs Syren and SLUGS her in the face. She responds by
KICKING him in his crotch! Chris looks impressed.
CHRIS
Where did you learn that?
SYREN
Bar fight.
CHRIS
You were in a bar fight?
However one guard cracks his elbow into Syren's face and as
she crumples, Chris SMACKS the guard in the face, following
up with a vicious KICK to the stomach.
Danyael and Naomi are fighting vigorously but Julie is
already out for the count. Diego has three guards piled on
top of him and as Chris turns his head, a ROUNDHOUSE kick by
a guard sends him flying into a wall.
CHRIS' P.O.V:
The world is much blurrier now and as he watches the others,
we gradually:
WHITE OUT:
FADE IN:
39 INT. JAIL - CELL 39
Chris slowly wakes up, rubbing his face as he takes in his
surroundings. Bars, a small window... Yep, they're in jail.
ON SCENE
Chris struggles to his feet and immediately clutches his
forehead.
He moves around the cell, face to the ground as he deals with
the incredible headache.
He looks up and sees Julie looking over at him from an
opposite cell.
JULIE
I presume from the ass-whooping we
received a couple of hours ago that
we're in the slammer.
DANYAEL (O.S.)
Yep.
Chris and Julie turn their heads against the bars and see
Danyael in a cell, an ugly bruise forming on his face. Naomi
is asleep next to him.
CHRIS
Danyael?
DANYAEL
(mutters)
Someone get me an aspirin and a
freakin' stripper. An aspirin for
the headache and -
CHRIS
(interrupts)
How's Twist?
TWIST (O.S.)
I'm good.
Danyael moves to reveal Twist in the same cell as Julie.
CHRIS
And Syren?
JULIE
She's bunking in the one next to
yours. Out cold.
Diego walks from behind Chris, having apparently not been
noticed by Chris before.
DIEGO
So, amigos, how are we going to get
out of this?
TWIST
Normally, I'd ramp us up to
'ludicrous' amounts of force, but
given that we just had our asses
gift-wrapped and handed to us, I...
have no idea.
(beat)
Now, on to more pressing matters,
such as the interchangeable use of
the word "parsec" in the "Star
Wars" universe as a unit of both
time and distance.
JULIE
(off cell)
Never mind all this, we've gotten
out of worse. Our concerns should
be about the machines and the
attacks.
We CUT TO:
40 INT. FACILITY – LAB 40
A guard moves away, turning the lights off from the lab. A
beat later, we PUSH IN on the machine which Twist knocked. A
small cylinder has filled to the top and the screen now reads
'Override Engaged'.
The lever moves downward even more and we hear a slow, high
pitched WAILING. The screen lights up green and then comes up
with the words 'Biokinesis Extrapolation Activation 25%
Complete'.
CHRIS (V.O.)
We could try jumping the first
guard that comes to check on us.
TWIST (V.O.)
And what? Steal his keys?
JULIE (V.O.)
It might work.
DIEGO (V.O.)
Ever the optimist, chica.
(beat)
What if one of us faked a seizure?
TWIST (V.O.)
What is this, 'Prison Break'?
Enough with the lame plans already!
The meter is rising with forty nine percent. As it hits
fifty, the words 'Target Area Selection: Initialisation' pop
up on the screen.
A small GPS map of the local area appears on the screen next
to the gauge and a blue circle pulses wildly around the area,
before it finally settles on the city, in a perfect circle.
The circle changes to red and 'Area Selected.'
The gauge reaches 100% and suddenly there's a HISSING and the
entire lab begins to SHAKE!
TWIST (V.O.) (cont'd)
Like Julie said, we'll make it out
of this. And besides, what's the
worst that could happen?
We PUSH IN on the words 'Biokinesis Activated,' before we:
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
41 EXT. ELYSIUM – GRAVEYARD - NIGHT 41
As the moon hangs in the sky, we PAN DOWN to see a woman,
BETTY, kneeling in front of a grave.
BETTY
(tearful)
I... I can't go on like this. I
love you so much...
She SNIFFS and then lays down a bouquet of FLOWERS.
BETTY (cont'd)
Lillies. Your favourites.
She pauses, letting a few tears roll down her cheeks before
she KISSES her hand, holding it to the gravestone - and a
HAND shoots out of the ground before her!
Betty SCREAMS, but the hand GRABS her round the throat and
pulls her forward, BURYING her face first in the earth!
As Betty's body struggles to get free, we PAN OUT from this
scene and see DOZENS more people bursting free from their
graves!
Off this terrifying scene, we cut to:
42 INT. JAIL – CELL - NIGHT 42
A guard approaches the cells.
TWIST
Hey! Any chance we could get
something to eat down here?
GUARD
You do realize that you're all
under suspicion of multiple
murders?
CHRIS
Yes, we—
(double-takes)
What?
GUARD
We have CCTV footage that shows
that the same time you entered this
city, the... suspicious deaths
began.
JULIE
You can't be serious.
GUARD
Look, we have -
There's a sudden CRASH from off screen, and the guard turns
his head to look at the team.
CHRIS
Whoever's put us under suspicion of
anything is either mistaken, or
setting us up.
Another BANG - raised voices and RUNNING FEET can be heard
from outside. The Guard tenses up, heading to the nearest
window.
TWIST
What's going on?
SYREN
It's starting...
Julie looks across - Syren is coming round at last, but she's
curling up into a small ball, clearly terrified.
The Guard stares out through the window, the colour draining
from his face.
GUARD
My God...
ANGLE ON: WINDOW
People are fleeing down the streets - and HUNDREDS of the
creatures from the graveyard are lumbering down the street
after them!
FIRES rage, windows are SMASHED and people SCREAM as they're
caught and pulled down by the creatures, who descend on them
in packs.
ON SCENE:
The Guard backs away from the window, reaching for his radio -
and a ROCK smashes through the glass, hitting him right in
the forehead!
He capsizes and hits the floor, out for the count, as his
radio starts to BUZZ with emergency calls:
RADIO
(filtered)
Somebody, anybody! Come in! We need
assistance, repeat, we -
There's a SCREAM and the radio cuts off.
TWIST
What the hell's going on?!?
DANYAEL
I think the party guests have
arrived.
NAOMI
C'mon, we need to get out of here!
TWIST
(snaps)
You think?
They hear a door open, and several more GUARDS hustle into
the cells area. They're all pulling on body armour and
packing shotguns, and one pauses to firmly lock and bolt the
door behind them.
As they rush past the cells, clearly in a hurry to find a
better position, Twist calls out to them:
TWIST (cont'd)
Hey, let us out!
GUARD #2
Look, whatever's going on, you'll
be much safer -
CHRIS
Trust me, we can help.
Chris locks eyes with the guard, trying to show him he means
what he says. The Guard's colleagues call for him to keep up,
but he stays with Chris.
CHRIS (cont'd)
Whatever those things are, you're
going to need all hands on deck to
hold them off. My friends and I can
help you do that.
The guard hesitates - and then SLAMS down a lever next to
him, which makes all of the jail doors slide open.
GUARD #3
What the hell are you doing?!?
GUARD #2
You heard him! You saw what those
things out there can do, we need
all the help we can get!
#3 glares at Chris and the others, then turns back to his
colleague.
GUARD #3
They don't get guns.
TWIST
Never needed one so far.
GUARD #3
C'mon, we need to get to the-
There's a CRASH from the doors at the other end of the
corridor, and the Guards spin round, raising their shotguns.
Chris and the others gather together as there's another BANG -
something is trying to force its way inside!
CHRIS
We have to go.
GUARD #2
Go where? They're everywhere out
there!
CHRIS
Where are our weapons?
#3 shoots him an incredulous look - just as the doors BUCKLE
again. One more hit, and they're down.
CHRIS (cont'd)
We don't have time for this! If we
stand and fight, we'll be
overwhelmed and outnumbered!
GUARD #3
How the hell would you know?
JULIE
Because I think I've just figured
out what those things are.
Chris turns to look at her - and the doors finally BURST OPEN
with a CRASH!
GUARD #2
Here they come!
The team turn - and a horde of ZOMBIES pours down the
corridor towards them!
Pale, rotting flesh, grisly wounds and slow, shuffling
movements - several look a lot fresher, the casualties of the
first wave come back to join the ranks.
However, as they move into the light, every one had a strange
HOLE in their chest, a green and grey coloured wound.
The Guards OPEN FIRE, shotgun blasts slamming into the
advancing zombies, but for each one that falls, two more take
their place!
TWIST
What in the name of Clive Barker
are they? Zombies?
JULIE
I don't...
(beat)
They're not zombies.
TWIST
Either that, or everyone's copying
Paris Hilton's "so-skinny-I'm-dead"
look. Of course they're fricken
zombies!
CHRIS
(narrows eyes)
Julie's right.
As the first group of the creatures draw closer, the others
see what Chris and Julie spotted - BLOOD RED eyes, but most
importantly, FANGS bared from every zombie's mouth!
The Guards FIRE again, but they're not slowing down the
zombie's advance.
CHRIS (cont'd)
We can't stay here! We have to fall
back!
GUARD #3
Go! We'll hold them off!
NAOMI
But-
GUARD #3
(off shotgun)
We've got these, remember?
CHRIS
Where are our weapons?
The Guard eyes him for a long beat - then relents, quickly
pulling a key from a chain round his belt and pressing it
into Chris' hand.
GUARD #3
Supply locker, room forty-seven.
CHRIS
Thank you.
(beat)
And good luck.
He RELOADS as Chris and the others pile round the corner and
out of sight - but not before Julie lifts a HANDGUN from one
of the guards. He doesn't notice.
The Guards exchange grim glances as they prepare for the next
round of firing, then take aim and OPEN FIRE again.
43 INT. JAIL - CORRIDOR - NEXT 43
As Chris exits a door marked 'Room 47,' he has his arms full
of the teams' WEAPONS and begins handing them back out.
The team can hear more GUNSHOTS echoing back round - shortly
followed by agonised SCREAMS.
NAOMI
(horrified)
Oh, no...
TWIST
But... they're vampires as well?
(beat)
They're vampire-zombies! Can... can
you get those?
DANYAEL
(to Julie)
You're the expert here. How do we
kill 'em?
JULIE
Normal zombies? Take off the head,
destroy the brain. These things?
Damned if I know.
DIEGO
Look out!
Another of the VAMPIRE-ZOMBIES is waiting for them, and with
a HISS it charges towards them!
As the vampire-zombie leaps towards the group, Diego swiftly
GRABS Julie's gun from her holster and FIRES!
The creature doesn't stop moving, until a shot hits him in
the chest, followed by a quick successive shot to the head.
Then it stops.
TWIST
Bullet in the brainpan. Works for
me.
DIEGO
We'll need more guns.
JULIE
We're in a jail, they're bound to
have an armoury somewhere.
CHRIS
(points)
That way. We need to loop back
round to where we came in - that's
where those guards came from when
they were armed.
He leads the way, as Twist falls back to meet Danyael.
TWIST
Listen, I know this might not be
the best time, but it's about
Naomi...
DANYAEL
What about her?
TWIST
(awkward)
I saw her... with Kate, and I...
JULIE (O.S.)
Heads up!
Twist turns just a female creature flies towards her.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two rapid shots later and the creature falls to the floor,
SMOKE rising from two HOLES in its head.
Twist looks up as Diego lowers his gun, and she gives him a
relieved thumbs up - but then her smile drops.
SLOW MOTION:
Over Diego's shoulder, she sees the fire doors up ahead BURST
OPEN and another wave of VAMPIRE-ZOMBIES start to surge
through it!
RESUME SPEED:
They begin swarming and each of them has a fight on their
hands:
Twist spins and KICKS one of the zombies in the face, downing
it before three more attack her, teeth bared.
Chris is busy PUNCHING as many as he can. He stops for a
second, spots a CHAIR against the wall and SMASHES it with
his boot, grabbing a makeshift STAKE from the wreckage.
He JAMS it into his nearest opponent's chest wound and then
HEADBUTTS him.
The zombie staggers back, then looks at the stake for a long
beat - before pulling it out and dropping it on the floor.
CHRIS
Oh.
The zombie lets out an evil GROWL before lunging forward
again, TACKLING Chris to the floor.
Julie is busy fending off other zombies. She pulls a pale
crystal from her pocket and blows into it. It glows a
turquoise light...
... before a WAVE of light bursts from the crystal, BLINDING
the zombies. Julie pulls out her handgun and FIRES, bringing
down several more of the creatures.
Naomi is trying to defend herself from a group but is
failing. She SWINGS with her sword, but a zombie LUNGES for
her outstretched wrist outstretched wrist – just as Danyael
leaps into frame, brandishing a sword.
He slices the head off of the zombie and puts himself between
Naomi and the onslaught. Naomi looks at him for a beat as he
fells two more zombies.
NAOMI
(grins)
My hero.
Syren looks the most scared, but she's putting up a brave
fight, letting off short, piercing SHRIEKS at anything that
gets too close.
One zombie takes a sonic blast right in the face, its head
DETONATING messily as it collapses backwards. However, one of
the zombies grabs her and grasps her arm, bending it
painfully.
There's a THWACK and the zombie falls for a moment, an AX in
its head. Syren turns around and sees Diego striding towards
her.
DIEGO
Are you alright?
SYREN
I'll - I'll be okay.
The two get into the fray as we head back to:
Twist as she lays down a PUNCH onto a zombie. It doesn't do
anything except make Twist grab her fist in pain.
TWIST
Ow! Son of a...
(angry)
Oh, you baumgartners are beyond
doomed now!
Off Twist's angry leap into the group of zombies, we SMASH
CUT TO:
44 INT. JAIL - NEXT 44
In another part of the jail, zombies are swarming the other
PRISONERS, as more armed GUARDS try (and fail) to hold them
off.
One of the guards fires helplessly at an oncoming zombie but
is tackled by it. The zombie rips out the guard's throat, and
a fountain of blood GUSHES from the body!
As the guard SCREAMS, we see a HOOKER scrambling away from
three zombies, one missing both its legs as it drags itself
along the floor.
HOOKER
Oh God, no!
As the zombies attack her, tearing into her, we SMASH CUT TO:
45 INT. JAIL - CORRIDOR - NEXT 45
Back with our heroes, we see even more of the zombies pouring
into the jail.
CHRIS
There's too many of them!
DIEGO
What should we do?
CHRIS
Why does everyone keep asking me
that?
TWIST
Cell! Get into a cell!
The seven of them scramble away, Twist and Chris leading the
way and cutting a path through the undead. They SLAM into a
wall, breathing heavily.
TWIST (cont'd)
Right, and the surviving part of
this plan begins when?
DIEGO
(looks around)
To the left!
Chris spots an empty cell and nods to Diego.
CHRIS
Now!
He runs over to the cell, slides the door even further open
and then runs back.
Twist and Diego run, entering the cell, followed closely by
Syren and Julie. Naomi enters, while Danyael and Chris hold
off the zombies.
NAOMI
Danny! C'mon!
Chris and Danyael leap towards the cell and Chris SNAPS the
lever back down, which SLAMS the cell door shut, cutting them
off from the zombies.
46 INT. JAIL - CELL - CONTINUOUS 46
The team back away from the bars as the creatures lumber
towards them.
CHRIS
We're safe... for now.
SYREN
But what about the people outside?
The civilians?
CHRIS
(grim)
There's nothing we can do for them.
The zombies start pressing themselves against the bars -
which CREAK ominously under the pressure!
DANYAEL
(gulps)
Although maybe outside is better...
TWIST
Yeah, but we're stuck in a cell.
The only way is certain death. This
place is like Miners... Mini Ass...
whatever. Never was a LOTR fan.
One of the zombies manages to get an arm in through the bars,
but a quick shot from Julie knocks him backwards.
TWIST (cont'd)
Hey, I've got a name for them!
CHRIS
What is it?
TWIST
Vombies!
NAOMI
What the hell are 'vombies'?
TWIST
Vampire-zombies, dumbass.
CHRIS
We're not calling them 'vombies.'
TWIST
Aw! Why not?
CHRIS
Because it's ridiculous, that's why
not!
TWIST
(pouts)
I bet if you named them, it'd
stick. Diego?
DIEGO
(nods)
Vombies it is.
Chris just sighs and shakes his head as Twist grins sweetly
at Diego - but a CRASH off screen reminds them, y'know -
vombies!
Soon, all of the newly christened VOMBIES' attention is on
the seven of the renegade hunters, and the cell bars start to
BEND as the weight of the vombies pushes on!
NAOMI
Oh, God, they're coming through!
TWIST
We need a miracle!
At that moment, there is a low HUMMING which intensifies,
forcing everyone to cover their ears.
Suddenly there is a bright FLASH OF LIGHT as something WARPS
into view and when the light dims down, we see:
MICHELLE HAWKES! The black-clad necromancer shakes her head,
clearing away the cobwebs with a JANGLE of bracelets.
MICHELLE
Bloody hell, I thought this was the
right place.
CHRIS
Michelle?
MICHELLE
Last time I ended up in Nova Scotia
and had a head cold for a week...
CHRIS
Michelle!
MICHELLE
What?
CHRIS
(indicates)
We could use a little help here.
She looks at last, and sees that a large chunk of the vombie
horde is leering hungrily at her.
MICHELLE
Oh. Okay.
Michelle raises her cane into the air, and just as the cell
doors finally COLLAPSE and the wave of vombies pours towards
the team, she SLAMS her cane down.
There's a FLASH of BLACK LIGHT - and Michelle and the team
are gone!
The most prominent of the vombies ROARS in frustration and
anger, and off this we MATCH CUT TO:
