Almost Dead (2016)

[bunniefuu]

Is anyone here?

Help!

Help!

Oh, f*ck.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.

f*ck.

Help me.

I beg you, please.

Oh god, oh god, are you alive?

Please, please, please.

What happened?

We...

We must get away.

We must go.

What have you done to me?

You...

You've condemned us to death.

All of us.

Oh.



All dispatchers are currently
handling other emergencies.

Your call is important to us

and will be answered in
the order it was received.

Hello?

Hello, anyone there?

Doctor.

Dr. Walsh, can you hear me?

Dr. Walsh?

Yes, is this Dr. Hope Walsh?

I can hardly hear you, can you hear me?

Yes, yes.

Yes, who is it?

It's Shepard, Doctor.

Sergeant Joel Shepard
of the National Guard.

I've been given the order by the CDC

to get in touch with
you and Dr. Sam Zunder.

Oh sh*t they're inside.

What's happening?

Are you there?

Please, don't, I beg you, don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

To find, find, find.

Hope?

Hope, oh my god, is this you?

Sam?

Are you all right?

Did you manage to get away?

From where?

Oh god, I don't remember.

Tell me where you are.

I can't hear you.

What's going on?

The phone, it's half broken.

I don't know this place.

I'm in a car.

I guess there's been an accident.

You guess?

Are you okay?

Please, help me.

I'm alone.

I'm scared.

Hope, calm down, okay?

Calm down.

I'm hiding in the woods.

Just tell me where you are.

I don't know.

I don't know anything, don't you get it?

Don't panic, okay?

Don't panic, just get to
the main road.

Just get to the main road, okay?

My knee, it's broken.

I need you to do it.

You must get to the main road.

It hasn't been that long.

We still might be close.

Hope!

Are you still there?

Yes, Hope.

There is no road.

Where are you?

Just keep walking, okay?

I can't see you.

Keep walking, okay?

Don't worry.

No.

Enough.

I'm going back.

Wait, wait.

No, no.

Wait, I
think I can see a light.

Is that you?

Can you see me?

Oh, where the hell are you?

Wave your torch.

Hope, you made it.

I knew you were close.

Hope, I knew it.

On your left.

You're right behind the trees, okay?

Can you see me now?

Oh, oh.

Oh god.

- Oh god...
- Can you see me?

Thank you.

Are you alone?

Yeah.

Yeah, why?

They're here, sh*t!

Go!

sh*t, they're here, go, go!

Open the door, open the door,
open the door, open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Hope, listen to me open, open it.

God damn it, let me in, Hope.

Hope, don't do this.

b*tch, f*cking b*tch!

Hope, no!

Please help me.

Help me, please.

Please.

Hope?

Hope, it's me Sarah.

- Sarah?
- Yes, it's Sarah.

Can you hear me, Hope?

Where are you?

Christ, the situation is getting worse.

I don't know.

What did you say?

I don't know.

Here it's full of monsters.

They're out here.

What the f*ck is going on?

It's hell,
that's what's happening.

Where are you?

I'm alone.

And Sam, where's Sam?

Are you there?

Are you okay?

There's been an accident I guess.

My head.

I've hit my head.

I can't remember.

I can't remember.

What do
you mean you can't remember?

I can't remember.

f*ck.

What do you all want from me?

I can't remember.

I don't even know who I am anymore.

Calm
down, just try and calm down.

You are Hope Walsh, Dr. Hope Walsh.

Do you remember that at least?

I'm your sister Sarah,
and Sam is my husband.

How...

How do I know you're not lying.

Hope, there's
no time for this bullshit.

It's me Sarah, Sarah Walsh,
your sister for god's sake.

Listen to me.

I don't know exactly what
you're going through,

but you have to trust me okay?

Tell me where you are and
I'll have Joel Shepard

come out and get you immediately.

Why are you talking to
me as if I was not alone?

There's no one else here with me.

I'm alone.

I'm alone.

Oh, go away.

Go away.

Please go away.

Oh, what have I done?

Hope, what happened?

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

They've attacked the
car, but I'm fine now.

Is Sam there with you?

No.

- I'm on my own.
- Jesus Christ.

He hasn't picked up the
phone in the past hour or so.

His mobile is off now.

I'm scared something
must've happened to him.

Did you separate?

- Can you remember anything?
- No.

Please, help me.

She said Sam
is not there with her.

We've gotta find him.

Are you listening to me or not?

I need help.

Hey, just, will you calm down?

No, I won't calm down.

There must've been a crash.

I woke up tied up like a f*cking sausage

and I can't get out of this damn truck.

These disgusting things are everywhere

so don't tell me to calm down,

just come on and get me.

Hey, we
are trying to organise it.

Yes, just keep calm.

I need you to give me a hand.

Try and tell me exactly where you are.

I don't know where I am.

Are you listening to me or not?

I have no idea where I am.

Fine,
one thing at a time then.

Tell me what else that you remember.

Do you know what it is you do, your job?

What does that have to do with anything?

I need to
know how you're really feeling.

If you've suffered a trauma or not.

I'm a doctor, aren't I?

Yeah, that's right.

And I work with you, remember?

- At the CDC?
- Good girl,

that's right, the CDC.

We're both researchers at the
Centre for Disease Control

and Prevention, or what's left of it.

The epidemic has hit
us too a few days ago.

Epidemic?

We've
never seen anything like it.

The first symptoms came about
six months ago in Columbia.

And then there the disease
spread vastly like oil

until it reached us here in the US.

- How did it happen?
- We don't know,

but that's when we got involved.

Last month the government
set up a task force

made up of scientists to find a cure.

Unfortunately the virus turned out

to be more uncontrollable
than what was expected.

Day after day the situation
got worse and worse.

Thus effecting Europe and Asia.

To us as well?

No, we are
luckily perfectly healthy.

Okay.

Why aren't we together now?
Hope, we've been attacked.

Three days ago we finally
reached a positive result.

The first after a great
number that went wrong.

We've managed to synthesise the antidote.

It stops the repetition of the virus.

It kills it off in a few minutes.

Were it those disgusting
things that attacked us?

- They attacked us?
- Not at all.

The infected had nothing to do with it.

The news about the antidote leaked

and all the city inhabitants
rebelled against us.

It was them.

But why?

Weren't we helping them?
That's right,

but this f*cking over couldn't wait.

Sam, you and myself ran to the lab

to lock the antidote in a safe place,

but they still attacked us.

They were armed.

f*cking armed.

It seemed like the end
of the world out there.

- Did they kidnap me?
- I believe so.

I was waiting for you guys in the car.

You were in there with
Sam to get the antidote.

I then heard some g*nshots

and I also went in, but it was hell.

We had to part.

I'm so sorry little sister.

How long has it been?

A few
hours, not more than that.

What's going on?

The phone.

My battery is running out.

We don't
have much time left then.

You need to tell me where you are

and I'll send a patrol to come fetch you.

I don't know.

There is nothing around here.

Look around
a little more in detail.

There is a road sign,
but I can't read it.

Jesus, are you sure?

You must understand where you are.

I can't.

It is full of monsters around here.

It's the only way.

We have to help them.

I can't handle it.

I can't even stand up.
Yes, you can.

Anna is right here with me.

She wants her mommy.

Come back for your daughter, Hope.

She's here waiting for you.

- My daughter?
- Yes, Anna.

You must remember her?

Oh, f*cking hell.

I thought I was gonna explode back there.

I don't know what happened.

I was in my car.

I was going home.

I got out of my car.

And then,

this f*cking b*tch,

she stole my car, she
tied me up in the back.

Yeah, she seems to have that habit.

What do you mean?

What the f*ck's happening here?

Did you k*ll her?

There's no time for this.

The road sign.

We have to get out.

Get out?

Well, f*ck you, I ain't getting out.

Shut up.

I'm gonna stay here.

I'm gonna, don't f*cking go, don't.

- f*cking...
- No!

What are you doing?

Open, open up.

Open, open.

Open up!

Coward!

b*stard!

as*h*le.

You left me out there.

You left me out there.

Don't touch me.

Sarah?
Hope, are you all right?

Did you manage?

They were all trying to catch me, Sarah.

They caught me.
It didn't happen though.

You are still alive.

They didn't bite you did they?

It's all this b*stard's fault.

f*ck you!

Which b*stard, Hope?

What are you talking about?

Did they bite you?

What?

I don't know, I don't know.
Check yourself, please.

Do you have any scratches
or bites of any kind?

No.

No, no, they didn't bite me.

No.

Thank god.

Why?

Jesus, Hope, the virus is
transmitted through fluids.

That is how the epidemic's spreading.

You know.

Hang in there, I beg you.

We'll get to you, I promise.

Joel will just have to
come back with the squad.

He said the street into
town has disappeared

and the car's not there.

Joel?

The
sergeant in the National Guard.

You spoke to him earlier.

He's in charge of the security.

I think he didn't do his job too well.

He's doing
all he can to try and find you

and to find Sam as well.

You can't be too far from the CDC.

Hang in there, please.

With a bit of luck you'll be

with us again in just a few hours.

You ain't no better than me.

What?

I said, you ain't no better than me.

You ain't no better than her.

When I was in the back
I heard the conversation

you had with your sis.

You government piece of sh*t,
you left us here to die.

We were trying to save you.

Bullshit.

Left us here to die like dogs.

Why do you think she'd done all this sh*t?

You ain't no better than nobody.

And if you'd been in
the same situation as me

you would've done the same
thing to save your own a*s.

- Sarah.
- No, Doctor,

this is Sergeant Joel
Shepard, remember me?

Where's Sarah?

Is she all right?

- What happened?
- Calm down.

All is fine.

Your sister's asked me
to get in touch with you.

We're now leaving downtown.

We might not know the exact location.

I believe you shouldn't be too far

from the perimeter of the CDC.

We'll start from there.

Okay.

You need to
give us a point of reference.

Look around and give us the description

of anything you might see around you.

No, no.

Trees, just tress and,

there's nothing else here.
Keep on going.

Can you see buildings, an
antenna tower, anything?

No.

No.

Trees everywhere.

Doctor?

Doctor, are you all
right, what's going on?

Doctor?

Doctor, are you all right?

What's going on?

Yes.

I'm here.

I'm right here.

Hope, are you okay?

Yes, just, I was just scared.

It scared me too.

No.

There's absolutely nothing around here,

just trees, and trees, and trees.

That's fine.

There aren't many forests outside of town.

Keep safe.

Stay in the car.

Nothing will happen to
you, you have my word.

You'll soon be able to hug your daughter

and everything will be fine, kind of.

Who was that?

Who was that?

Are they gonna come for us?

They gonna rescue us?

Yeah.

Hope?

- Are you crying?
- No.

Don't lie to me.

You couldn't even lie
to me when we were kids.

Sarah.

I've been bitten.

What?

Yes.

Oh my god.

Are you sure?

Will I turn into those monsters?

When did it happen?

A short while ago.

How long do I have left?

How long do I have left?

Sarah, please.

Don't leave me alone.

No, I won't.

The thing is that we don't have
any reliable facts just yet.

We might have to make...

How long?

It wouldn't be the first time.

It's all very experimental.

Sarah.

Okay.

The virus is mutating.

It has become aerobic.

Although one may die
naturally or violently,

virus transformation
could occur within a day.

And if they bite me?

It takes about an hour.

An hour?

I'm really sorry.

I really don't know what to do.

Should you manage to get
here before you transform

the antidote wouldn't work.

It needs to be taken within half an hour

from when you've been
bitten, not more than that.

It would otherwise be too late.

Sarah.

Sarah, there's something
I need to tell you.

The antidote, that's it.

Sarah, I beg you.

Hope, the DX80.

This whole mess is all
because of the antidote.

What are you talking about?

I haven't got the antidote.

Yes, yes you do.

That's why you've been kidnapped.

It's a plastic vial.

- Where?
- I don't know.

If Sam was there with
you he would've never

given it to those f*cking farmers.

Try and think where you could've put it.

I can't remember.

Come on,
think about it, you must know.

- I can't remember.
- It's your only chance.

Make an effort.

Where's a place that you are

that only a few people knew about?

- There's nothing here.
- Okay, breathe, calm down.

We'll work it out, we'll find a solution.

Just trust me, will you?

Hope?

Answer me, will you?

Don't close up, I'm here with you.

Now will you please look for it?

It's a strange colour.

Piss colour.

No, you're not helping me.

There you go.

Your smile, don't ever lose it.

It has always helped you.

Wait.

What?

Claire.

Claire Stevenson, the
woman who kidnapped you.

Yes, that's it.

She might have the antidote.

How do you know her name?

The National Guard has just

caught a few of them.

They said you were seen with
Claire who was targeting you.

- What else?
- That's it.

The thing is that I can't hate her.

She just wanted to save her son.

She's a mother just like you.

Her son, why?

Well,
that's what I understood.

I believe he's been infected.

Wait, wait.

Hope, what is going on now?

Hope, answer me will you?

Have you found it?
God damn it.

Damn it, damn it.

Damn it!

Those monsters.

Those f*cking animals.

It's all your fault, it's all your fault.

Sarah, listen to me, it's about Sam.

Mom?

Anna?

Is that you?

Come on baby, answer her.

It's Mom, she needs you.

Mom, when are you coming, Mom?

Why are you crying?

Sweetheart, 'cause I'm
happy to talk to you.

Are you all right?

I'm sleepy.

I know.

It's very late.

When are you coming back, Mom?

Very soon.

And will you tell me

the dancing rabbit tale?

Of course, sweetheart.

And will you
stay over and sleep with me?

I'm scared of those nasty men.

Which men?

Those who took you away.

Oh, sweetheart, they're not nasty.

They're also very scared, you know?

And when adults are
scared we do silly things.

Why?

Well, because.

Mom loves you.

And know nothing or
nobody in the whole world

will take me away from you.

Do you hear me?

Is that clear?

So tell Auntie to put you to bed.

I'll be home soon.

I promise.

Nothing.

Or nobody in the whole world.

Sarah.

I found it.

I found it!

Seriously,
you have the antidote?

Where was it?

Under the seat.

I hadn't looked for it very well I guess.

I drank it.

I won't be turning into one
of those disgusting creatures?

No, you won't, little sis.

You are safe.

Joel is on his way with two cars.

I'll be able to hug you again soon

and you'll be able to hug Anna.

- Sarah?
- Yes, I'm right here.

Is the antidote immediately effective?

Yes, practically, why?

I've just lost a tooth
only a little while ago.

What's going on?

These are the last symptoms.

There shouldn't be any others.

Are you sure?

Yes, you synthesised it.

If you can't trust me,
at least trust yourself.

- Answer me.
- I am sure.

You're getting upset for no reason.

That's it now.

You took the antidote, end of story.

You'll be back here safe and sound.

I'm so sorry.

If I can't make it will you take care of...

Stop the bullshit.

You're the one who was born
to be a mother, not me.

Do you remember when we were children

that summer at granddad's house?

No.

What does that have to do with this?

Do you remember

the ghost tale in the barn?

Grandpa had scared us sick with that tale

and I couldn't sleep.

He must have been a real as*h*le.

Mama had recently died

a month or so earlier
and from that moment on

you became a point of reference.

You took care of me, you
talked to me, you cuddled me.

You stroked my hair to
help me fall asleep.

You were my mother, the
only person I ever trusted.

Sarah.

You are
much stronger than this.

You need to stay focused and resist.

I beg you.

I don't want to become one of them.

It won't
happen, I've already told you.

You took the antidote.

It won't happen.

So why am I not getting any better?

Sarah?

Can you tell me what really happened?

What do you mean?

The civilians, the people.

Why did they turn against us

if we were the ones helping them?

I've already told you.

We abandoned them, didn't we?

Tell me the truth.

Hope, it wasn't our fault.

We are only scientists.

There was nothing we could've done.

What have we done?

Helped them.

We found the antidote, that is true,

but we had some serious issues.

Having it manufactured in large amounts

would've taken plenty of more
time than what we expected.

People were getting sick.

There wasn't enough to cover everyone.

So what then?

We decided to be gods?
Well not us to be specific,

but the government did.

They were the ones to
decide who would have died

and who would have the right to live.

The chosen ones were
politicians, men in power,

whoever could afford a cure.

What about the people?

We gave them an obsolete

antidote before the virus mutated.

You saw it for yourself what
happened when they realised.

Why are you asking, Hope?

Is that the proper one?

Why are you asking?

- What?
- Is it the correct antidote?

How many f*cking antidotes are there?

I drank the one I found.

What colour was it?

I don't know.

You told me to take the vial, I took it.

Will you calm down?

What colour was the liquid inside?

It was clear, like water.

No, no.

I told you it had to be yellow.

It looked like piss, remember?

Hope?

Sarah, I beg you don't tell me that I...

That's the
one we gave to the people.

Actually, Sam was the only
one who had a vial on him,

but it was totally useless.

Hang on a minute.

Where did you find it?

Is Sam there with you?

Hope, answer me, is Sam there with you?

Dr. Walsh, it's Joel.

- Are you there?
- Joel.

Thanks god.

Are you on your way?
No, I'm sorry, not yet.

We checked out the first couple streets,

but haven't found anything.

There's been a sh**ting
against some civilians

who wanted to take the jeep.

You k*lled them, didn't you?

Well, we didn't want to,

we were forced to.

It was a bloodbath.

They'd do anything to
survive, don't you think?

Joel, do you have children?

Two, Edward and Johnny.

Edward is in kindergarten,

his brother just recently
started first grade.

Are they with your
wife as we're speaking?

Well, she was...

She was bitten last month.

I'm so sorry Joel.

It's been tough.

She was the one who took
care of all the kids.

They're safe at the CDC
with all the others.

Your daughter's there too.

My daughter.

I can't even remember her.

It might be better this way.

No, Hope,
you're only hurting yourself.

I know you've been bitten and I'm sorry,

but think of Anna, she's
playing with Johnny

unaware of it all.

It's something worth fighting for.

They'll become good friends.

As soon as the night's over

I want to take our kids
out for a cheeseburger.

What do you think?

- I'm not very hungry.
- You will be.

We only need more time.

- I haven't got much time.
- We'll find you.

We've almost fixed out truck.

We'll be there shortly.

You need to make one last effort.

Tell me if you see something else.

Joel.

You must leave me here.

Why take the risk infecting
everyone else to save me?

Just for someone like me?

Sarah said
the antidote is in the car.

You must find it.

Joel, can you tell
me one last more thing?

What?

Claire, the woman who kidnapped me.

Stevenson, Claire Stevenson.

Her son.

I heard he'd been infected as well.

Do you know anything?

Is he all right?

Joel, can you hear me?

Are you still there?

No!

No!

Come on
love, join me for a selfie.

Come here.

Let's all take a picture.

Come on, everybody wave.

Hope, come here.

Guys I look horrible.

You look gorgeous, stop it.

The Walsh sisters.

Actually the Walsh girls!

Everybody take a picture.

Oh.

So are you taking this or no?

Sam?

Oh god, is that you?

How are you?

I must've called a million times.

Can you hear me?

Sam, answer me.

I beg you, please tell
me you're all right.

It's me Sarah.

Hope?

Thank god, you're together then.

How is Sam?

Sarah, I'm sorry.

He's dead.

Your husband is dead.

What do you mean dead?

What are you talking about, Hope?

Sarah.

It's all my fault.

I k*lled him.

I k*lled them all.

There is no one else here to save.

We're all dead.

Everyone.
