01x03 - The Light

[bunniefuu]

Umbrella.

A company besieged by legal scandal
and falling stock prices

is now trying to reinvent itself
with a major push

into direct-to-consumer dr*gs.

Critics say that the company's operating
at a dangerous burn rate,

but Umbrella's betting big on the move.

Brainchild of newly minted CEO,
Evelyn Marcus.

Tell me about Joy.

Well, they say you can't put a price
on happiness, but sure you can.

If you bottle it.

You sound like your father.

He founded Umbrella
before being... pushed out.

He did.

And I still like to think of this
as a family business.

Still, I have
to ask you about the past.

Raccoon City.

It was an unimaginable tragedy.

A horrible accident
that no one could have seen coming.

Don't get me wrong.

The old Umbrella, my father,
made his share of mistakes,

but this is not that company.

The things
we're working on today...

they're gonna change the world.

Those are rubber b*ll*ts, right?

Help!

Help!

Mom?

Come on.

Over here.

Sir, we lost her.

So, you find her.

Chase down the runners.

I want a team along the outer docks,
another in the trees.

Dude. Ouch.

- No!
- Don't sh**t!

- Don't sh**t!
- Mom?

Mom!

Liam, come here.

I'm sorry.

We thought he was gone. We...

I don't know how to thank you.

Billie.

Billie?

Go away.

No! We have to talk.

I just wanna know
you're all right. Billie.

Oh, you're home. Great.

I'm starving. What's for dinner?

What?

How's your sister?

She's...

good.

Catching up on school, I think.

When she's done...

- tell her I'll be right back.
- Yes, sir.

Billie, come on.

It's fine.

I'm fine.

Who the hell sent that drone?

Umbrella.

"Umbrella"?

- They wouldn't.
- Oh, they really would.

You have a family.
You should've taken the ferry.

We can't.

Why not?

You're smuggling contraband.

Forty-year-old contraband.

The Black market on these
will keep us alive while we resettle.

We've got people in Calais.

My sister, her girls.

He's been through so much.

We just want
to raise him amongst family.

Give him something that feels... normal.

There's gotta be another way across.

There is.

The "chunnel."

Traffickers run people through
to the other side,

and they don't ask questions.

- It's too dangerous.
- And if we stay here? What, then?

We spent most of our money on the boat.

Okay, so we pull what we've got,
and we go together.

No offense, but why should we trust you?

She saved Liam.

Look, the only way you can trust anyone
is when they need you.

And right now, we need each other.

Jesus, are you okay?

Hey.

Good talk.

Nice sister moment.

So where are you down from?

'Round York.

I heard it's beautiful around there.
Why'd you leave?

Didn't have any choice.

The walls kept the zeros out, but...

didn't stop the virus from getting in.

That's...

I'm so sorry.

Everybody lost somebody, right?

Hmm!

So how's the new school?

They have kombucha on tap.

- Hey, morning.
- Billie.

What are you doing?

- Going to school?
- Uh, no.

We should give it a few days.

Dad, I'm fine. And I'm missing classes.

- I don't think you should...
- I think she looks great.

I mean, you said it yourself.

If we miss too much school,
people could notice.

Billie.

Come here.

Come here.

Okay, look at me.

And?

It's better.

So can I go?

Uh...

- That's a yes.
- Thanks, Dad.

I... No, you, you...

Call me if anything doesn't...

feel right.

Jade.

Keep an eye on your sister.

Do you feel like, weird?

Mad?

I'm mad that you keep asking me
assh*le questions.

Because I'm good.

And after everything...

everything that happened,
I just want things to be normal.

Okay?

Billie?

Billie.

Jade, hey.

Hi, I'm Simon.

I'm gonna be late.

Stay.

"Stay"?

Hey.

- Hey!
- What?

What do you mean "what"?
The f*ck just happened back there?

Dad... Dad just gave me these dr*gs to sleep
and I just... I think I have a hangover.

Yeah, I don't know.

He's cute.

- He's okay.
- He likes you.

So what? Like, I miss one day,
and you have a boyfriend now?

- No, he just helped me.
- With what?

Homework.

Look.

You'd tell me
if something was wrong, right?

You should go.

Your boyfriend's waiting.

I don't think your sister
likes me very much.

Why do you care?

She doesn't know you.
You literally just met.

I don't know, it's just a vibe.
I'm quite good at reading people.

And you think I'm super-hot.
Charming as sh*t.

I think you're full of sh*t.

The files you sent me
were only half downloaded.

I need the rest.

- I thought you said that that was a joke?
- It is.

It's super funny.

Umbrella does shady sh*t.

- Like Facebook shady, but...
- So you can't get them.

- No, I can.
- Then do it.

You know, you're not like, bossy at all.

You love it.

Yeah.

Four to cross.

Well, you've come
to the right place.

I don't know what you've heard,
but since our outfit's taken over,

passage is much safer.

Only three people d*ed last month.

"Three"?

Well, if you want repeat business,
you've got to put the customer first.

You sure you want to take a kid?

- Whole team.
- It's your call.

Right, all that's left then
is the dirty business of business.

This will get you one.

That'll do.

All right, everybody in.

My advice.

Keep your eyes on the floor

and your hands
and your feet tucked in tight.

And we'll get you through,
quick and quiet.

This is safe, right?

Sure.

Come on, come on,
let's go, let's go, let's go.

Hey.

It's okay.

Going up!

Okay, let's go.

Italian leather.

Fancy.

Come on, honey. You think I'd miss
your world-famous lemon salmon?

I'll be home by eight.

Promise.

Love you, too.

Sounds like things are better at home.

I'm a great lay.

Let's have some fun.

Now, I'm not gonna lie to you.

Tijuana was a setback.

But Joy still represents
the future of this company.

For most of its history,

Umbrella's been a contractor
for the US government.

But if we're gonna survive,
we have to look elsewhere.

Outward, to the people.

That's why you put me in charge.

But I understand Dr. Wesker
wants to suspend this project.

Oh, you heard wrong.

Right, Al?

Prescribed in the correct dosage,

Joy can be a miracle pill.

An antidepressant that lowers anxiety,
increases focus.

But the drug contains
a derivative of the T-virus.

A pathogen we originally developed
for the American m*llitary.

That project was, um...

ill-fated.

And while we thought
we'd solved the problem,

in larger doses, the viral load
not only activates the T-virus,

it becomes transmissible.

Usually through a bite.

So we just tell people
not to bite each other.

It's, um...

not that easy.

This is what happens
when you overdose on Joy.

The subject becomes desiccated.

Violent.

For rats, it takes a few hours.

For a human...

three days.

But the end is always the same.

The T-virus makes monsters.

Joy, could be a billion-dollar drug,

but we need to delay the launch
until we can stabilize it.

Well, I don't
see this as a problem.

Wait, did you... Did you say
you don't see that as a problem?

It's an opportunity.

Yes.

We need to rethink Joy.

That gives us a chance to make it better.

See, in our trials, we found
that slightly tweaking the virus

does something unexpected.

This subject was given, let's call it,
a souped-up version of Joy.

So this is our billion-dollar idea?

- Dogs?
- No.

Our team anticipates
a similar response in human trials.

Which means,
it goes beyond the "feel good."

The new Joy would allow us
to influence attention, behavior,

all through a series of triggers.

So imagine that same pattern
on a website or an app.

A Joy user wouldn't be able to look away.

So we're doing mind control now?

Of course not, Janet.

But hey, who hasn't popped a Xany
and gone hunting for Louboutin's.

Right, Alan?

Joy will make Umbrella
the biggest company in the world.

f*ck Google, f*ck Zuckerberg.
They deliver eyeballs.

Umbrella will deliver minds.

That's not a billion-dollar drug.

That's a trillion-dollar drug.

None of which eliminates the danger.

How much would I have
to take to turn into...

that?

Let's see.

Three?

No?

Ten?

Am I getting close?

Al?

Twenty thousand.

So we know what goes on the warning label.

Right?

Attention, students.

This is a reminder
that all personal items,

including purses, helmets, and cellphones
should be kept in your locker.

Thank you.

Can't help you, mate.

So you haven't seen her?

Well, even if I had,
which I'm not saying I have...

I've got principles.

Standards. Criteria and such.

I...

Is... is he for real?

I have no idea what you're saying.

What I'm saying is f*ck off, Umbrella.

Nice ride.

Where you headed?

Home.

And where's that?

The University.

Like, a school?

No.

The University, it, uh...

preserves the old world.

Books, art, history.

It's like a... a backup disk
for civilization.

It will help us rebuild
when all of this is over.

If it's ever over.

What's it like?

Peaceful.

"Peaceful."

Do you know what it was like to be... bored?

I try not to think about it.

The world that we had.

The one they never got.

Okay, next leg of the trip.

Everyone keep your mouths shut.

And I mean super glued.

You hear me?

What?

Lickers.

They hunt by sound.

The hell?

Warning! You are engaged
in illegal activities

under Umbrella jurisdiction!

Do not resist!

Do not start your engine.

Do not exit the vehicle.

You are under arrest.

Move out.

Pull them out and line them up.

Yes, sir.

Let's go. Round them up.

Where's that coming from?

The heck?

Contact!

What's happening?

Mom, look.

Move.

No, no, let me go. Let me go!

Hey, over here.

There's another way out.

Here.

- Go, go.
- Come on. Right this way.

Go, go, go!

Come on!

Help me!

Service door. Down there.

Go, go! Go!

Come on!

Like I said...

...fun.

Mickey was a nice touch.

- The Board decided.
- For you.

It's a trillion dollars, Al.

I'm offering them a bright shiny future,
and you've got, what?

A fancy pen?

How you doing?

You seem edgy.

Top off today?

We took behavioral modification
off the table.

I changed my mind.

You're risking millions of lives
for what, money?

A spot on the DOW?

If this scales,
can't you see where this is going?

It's not about the stock price.

It's about changing the world.

Just...

think about it.

Global warming, gone.

World hunger, not anymore.

f*ck.

We can turn the world vegan if we want to.

And who gets to decide any of that?

Oh, I do.

My friend at the FDA
agreed to rush human trials.

Because you bribed him.

Because I'm such a charming lady.

But I need you to stabilize the formula
and bring production online.

What happened in Raccoon City,
we'll take precautions.

The only precaution is a cure.

- We don't have one of those.
- So let me find one.

- Look, get me a team.
- I need you focused.

I can do both.

And, look, if something does go wrong,
and the virus gets out of control...

imagine how much money
Umbrella makes if you own the cure?

After hours.

And Joy come first.

- Fine.
- Fine.

- Wait, Evelyn, don't do that.
- Oh, and, Al?

No more surprises.

I don't like surprises.

Viral modulation.

Think of it as Darwinism
on a molecular scale.

Virus has literally changed
the cells of their host

for their own survival and reproduction.

And as a virus alters
or modulates its host,

what does that look like to us?

Symptoms from the everyday stuff.

Sweating, vomiting,

to the extreme cases where viruses
att*ck the blood-brain barrier,

causing hallucinations.

Changes in mood, behavior,
violent outbursts,

until the body can fight it off or...

not.

Dude.

Attention, students...

Sorry.

Breathe.

Where are we?

Service tunnel.

Which way to the surface?

Up.

Mom.

Come on, just a bit further.

What's wrong?

Just a little further, yeah?
Come on, Liam.

He's fine.

- You've got to get up. Come on.
- Get him up. We gotta go.

- He's infected.
- No, no, he... he isn't.

When did bright light start bothering him?

Loud noises? When was he bit?

- No, it... It's not...
- Three days ago.

That's why you couldn't take the ferry.

We had to get to Calais.
There were rumors.

The Brotherhood has a cure.

The Brotherhood skin people alive.

They don't have a cure! There is no cure!

f*ck this.

No.

No!

You love him. I get it.

But the minute someone is infected,
they don't care about you anymore.

They don't love you anymore.

Run!

f*cking run!

Run!

Run...

Come on, run. Come on.

Here. Here. Through here.

- Come on.
- Go.

Come on.

f*ck. f*ck!

What now?

Mark?

Count ten...

then go.

No. Mark.

Come on.

I got it.

Come on.

- I got it.
- Go.

I f*cking...

sh*t.

You get the rest yet?

The firewall's been updated.

Okay, so?

So Umbrella hasn't updated
their security in two years.

Jade. What's going on?

I can't tell you, but...

- I don't know.
- Jade, seriously.

Simon, get off of me.

You can't just
keep telling me what to do

- without telling me what's going on.
- Get off.

Don't touch her.

sh*t. Billie.

Billie, wait!

What is wrong with your sister?

Jade.

Jade, can you just hold on?

Jade?

Jade Wesker?

Hi, Mom.

Jade, you don't know me, honey,

but I've been watching you
grow up in pictures for years.

Your dad and I go way back.

He's a brilliant man.

- You want a ride?
- I'm good.

Billie...

Billie?

Billie?

I think...

I think something's wrong with me.

This whole time...

I thought...

maybe if I just ignore it...

then it would all go away...

and everything would be normal.

I hurt you.

I hurt people.

I've been hearing things.

Seeing things.

Lights...

they feel like...

like drills in my brain.

And sounds.

Sounds just hurt my bones.

I can feel all of that.

But I can't feel this.

What's wrong with me?

The dog...

might have been sick.

What does that mean?

I found this thing online.

Same kind of thing happened
in an Umbrella factory.

A guy got bit, and three days later...

What?

He went crazy.

He k*lled people.

What?

But it's... It's f*cked up.

And it's not true.

This is just the dr*gs.
Like you said earlier.

And if it's not?

It is.

Billie, look at me.

No.

Look at me.

Don't cry.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Umbrella.

Fascist.

Come here.
