FADE IN:

INT. BED ROOM - NIGHT

Trent, white male in his mid twenties with average built and
height, walks into the bedroom. He starts to unbutton his
shirt.

TRENT
Did the signal for the satellite
come back on?

Susan, white female in her late twenties with girl next door
looks, is in the bathroom that is connected to the bedroom.
She is wiping off make up from her face.

SUSAN
What honey?

Trent puts his shirt on a hanger and hangs it in the closet.

TRENT
I was just wondering if the
satellite came back on?

            SUSAN
      (Leaning out of
       the bathroom)
Didn't even know it went out.

Trent sits on the corner of the bed. He kicks off his shoes.
He reaches over to grab the remote. He turns on the
television. The screen is black with the words no signal on
it. Trent turns off the television and tosses the remote on
the ground.

TRENT
Damn dish. I told you we should
have gotten the digital cable.

Susan walks into the bedroom and lies on the bed.

SUSAN
Is everything ready?

TRENT
Yes.

Trent walks into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

SUSAN
Are you positive?

Trent spits out water and toothpaste.

            TRENT
      (Looking at his
       reflection in the
       mirror)
Yes dear, I'm positive.

SUSAN
Good, don't want anything to
happen like last time.

Trent turns off the light in the bathroom and enters the
bedroom. He lies on the bed.

TRENT
It was three years ago and I said
I was sorry.

SUSAN
It was our honeymoon. You forgot
to set the alarm clock. We had to
take a later flight and cut the
trip in half.

SUSAN
It was out honeymoon. You forgot
to set the alarm clock. We had to
take a later flight and cut the
trip in half.

TRENT
Wasn't my fault. The power went
out that night. I had no control
over that.

Susan shoots a look at Trent.

TRENT
The luggage is by the front door.
The tickets are on the nightstand
next to the luggage. I have set
the alarm on the clock radio, my
watch, and the cell phone. Also
gassed up the truck, so there is
nothing to worry about.

SUSAN
Good.

TRENT
The satellite went out at the same
time as the Internet. I wanted to
find out more about those
(MORE)

TRENT (cont'd)
outbreaks.

SUSAN
I'm sure the hotel will have the
Internet.

TRENT
Hope so, I have to ton of paper
work to catch up on.

Susan hits Trent with a magazine.

TRENT
What? I was joking.

SUSAN
You better be. Just think this
time tomorrow we will be in the
most romantic city in the world.
Rome.

TRENT
Funny, I thought Paris was the
romantic city.

Susan hits Trent again.

TRENT
Come on. Stop that.

SUSAN
I have been looking forward to
this trip all year. Nothing is
going to screw it up.

TRENT
Well, I'm not looking forward to
thirteen hours on a plane. I think
I might go crazy. Hope there is
some good acohol on the flight.

Susan lies on top of Trent.

SUSAN
I'm not that tired yet.

Susan sits up and takes off her shirt. She leans down to
kiss Trent.

FADE TO BLACK

INT. MOVIE THEATER LOBBY - NIGHT

People are waiting in line to buy a movie ticket. Scott,
Late teen white male with medium built and blonde hair, is
sitting in front of a computer. He clicks on the microphone.

SCOTT
Next.

Charles, a white male in his late teens and skinny built,
walks up to the counter.

CHARLES
One please.

He lets out a violent cough. He wipes his hands on his
jeans. Scott takes his money and prints up a ticket. The
camera zooms in on Charles and zooms out.

INT. PARK EARLIER THAT DAY - DAY

A group of guys are playing football. One group is in a
huddle.

SAM
OK, last play of the game and we
need a touchdown to win.

CHARLES
Throw me the ball. They are not
covering me.

The group lets out a nag.

TARA
Yeah, they stopped covering you
because your slow and can't catch
the ball.

The group lets out a laugh.

CHARLES
Screw you.

Charles pushes the wide receiver.

SAM
Cut the shit. I'll make a deal
with you. I'll throw it to you,
but If you don't catch it you
never come out here and play with
us. Got it?

CHARLES
Fine, deal.

TARA
Charles, run a fly route down the
sideline. Everyone else stay
short. On two.

The group breaks the huddle. The Quarterback grabs Charles's
shirt.

SAM
You better catch this.

Everyone lines up on the football. Charles lines up way off
to the right of the ball. The cornerback gives him a smile.
The Quarterback looks over at Charlie and shakes his head.

TRENT
Blue thirty two. Hut. Hut.

Charles shoots off the line. The cornerback jams Charles.
The Quarterback rolls out to his right side. The defense is
chasing him. The cornerback lets go and runs at the
Quarterback. Charles takes off down the field. There is no
one close to Charles. The quarterback launches the ball
right when the cornerback tackles him. The ball goes sailing
toward Charles. He dives for the ball. Charles catches the
football in mid air, but he drops it when he hits the
ground. He looks up to see the ball rolling away from
him.The Quarterback yells at him. Charles is face to face
with a flower. The flower sprays Charles in the face. He
lets out a cough. The camera zooms in and back out to
Charles walking in the movie theater. A couple walks past
Charles to the concession stand.

SAM
How can I help you?

The couple looks at the menu.

TARA
All I want is a diet drink.

ZACK
You sure?

            TARA
      (looking at the
       menu)
Yeah, I'll get something after the
movie is over with.

The camera zooms on the couple and zooms back.

INT. PARK EARLIER THAT DAY - DAY

Tara and Zack are walking in the park. Tara, latin female in
early twenties, is throwing bread to the ducks. Zack, latin
male early twenties, is standing next to her.

ZACK
How long have we been dating?

TARA
Don't tell me you forgot?

ZACK
No, we have been dating for three
years now. I think its time to
take it to the next level.

Tara stops feeding the ducks and looks at Zack.

TARA
What do you mean?

ZACK
Well, I just think its time for us
to move in together. Get our own
place.

TARA
You mean it?

ZACK
I do. I love you and want to spend
my whole life with you.

Zack grabs Tara's hand.

TARA
I love you to, baby.

She pauses for a second to think about it.

TARA
Sure, let's do it.

ZACK
That is great.

Zack hugs Tara and gives her a big kiss.

ZACK
You made me so happy.

Zack looks over and sees a flower. He picks the flower and
holds it up.

ZACK
Let this be the symbol of our
love.

Zack holds up the flower and it sprays pollen in both of
their faces. The camera zooms back to the couple in the
movie theater lobby. Zack and Tara walks up to the ticket
taker. They sit on a bench in the lobby.

TARA
I don't feel so good.

Charles walks up to the ticket taker. Kevin, eighteen year
old white male with a gangsta look to him, grabs the ticket.

KEVIN
First door on your left.

Kevin puts up a velvet rope across two poles. He walks over
to Sam.

KEVIN
Bout fucking time, God I hate this
shift. There is no reason for all
of us to be here. I can count the
number of people on both hands.

SAM
Funny, didn't know you could count
that high.

KEVIN
HaHa. Very funny.

SAM
You have two more hours before the
shift is over.

KEVIN
Are you staying for the midnight
movie?

SAM
Not tonight, have a paper due in
the morning.

Tara lets out a bad cough.

KEVIN
What do you think of the new girl?

Sam bends over to put some candy in the display case.

SAM
Who?

KEVIN
Nancy.

Nancy, Asian female eighteen year old with a skinny built
and long black hair, is wiping down the glass counter. She
stops to check herself out in the reflection.

SAM
Don't even waste your time.

KEVIN
Man, she's hot.

SAM
She's way out of your league
Kevin.

KEVIN
Shit, I'll give it a week before
she is all over me.

Kevin gives off a half smile.

SAM
DO you remember who her daddy is?

KEVIN
So!

SAM
Her dad is the sheriff and last
time I checked he doesn't like you
very much.

KEVIN
Who said I wanted to date her?

Sam stands up shaking his head.

SAM
She is a diva. Her dad punished
her and is making her work off her
credit card debt. Don't waste your
time.

Scott walks over to Kevin and Sam.

SCOTT
Thank god the day is over.

KEVIN
You staying for the movie?

SCOTT
Hell yeah, I have been waiting for
this movie all year.

KEVIN
What you think of Nancy, Scott?

Tara let's out another bad cough.

SCOTT
I don't drive a sixty thousand
dollar car, so I don't have a
chance.

SAM
My point exactly.

SCOTT
Why?

SAM
Romeo here thinks he has a chance.

Scott laughs.

SCOTT
Yeah right.

KEVIN
Laugh it up, but at the end of the
shift I'll be the one laughing.
I'll have her number at the end of
the night.

SCOTT
I bet you can't even get one
digit.

KEVIN
You're on, what do I get if I win?

SCOTT
If you win I will work your double
on friday and if I win you work my
double on saturday.

10.

KEVIN
Fine, deal.

Scott and Kevin shake hands.

KEVIN
Sam your going to be the witness,
I'm going to win this now.

Kevin walks over to Nancy.

KEVIN
Hello there, I don't think we have
been introduced. My name is Kevin.

Kevin grabs her hand and goes to kiss it. She yanks her hand
back.

KEVIN
Do you have a boyfriend?

Nancy does not answer. She continues to wipe the counter.

KEVIN
The strong silent type.

Kevin licks his pinky and index finger and straightens out
his eyebrows with the fingers. Nancy looks in disgust.

KEVIN
Are you staying for the movie
tonight?

Kevin goes to place his elbow on the counter, but he misses
and hits his head on the counter. Nancy rolls her eyes and
walks away. Kevin gets back up.

KEVIN
K. Call me.

Kevin does the finger move again and adds the " call me
move" after it. Kevin walks back over to Scott and Sam.

SCOTT
So, when can I expect the wedding
invites?

KEVIN
Screw you.

11.

Kevin pushes Scott. Tara lets out a loud scream. She falls
to the ground and spits blood out her mouth. Zack jumps to
his feet. Scott and Sam run over to see If she is ok. Kevin
calls for the manager on the intercom.

ZACK
What is wrong honey? Somebody call
an ambulance.

Screams are heard coming out of the theaters. Zack starts to
cough up blood. People run out of the movies into the lobby.

SAM
Everybody calm down. Please stop
running.

Tara stops moving. Scott leans in to check to see if she is
breathing. She opens her eyes.

FADE TO BLACK

Scott let's out a loud scream.

INT. MORNING, TRENT AND SUSAN'S BEDROOM - DAY

Trent rolls over in the bed. His arm lands on the spot where
Susan is suppose to be. He lifts up his head to see that
Susan is gone.

TRENT
Susan?

Trent looks over at the alarm clock. It is blinking twelve
o'clock. He sits up real quick.

TRENT
Oh shit.

Trent checks the cell phone.

TRENT
Damn. Susan. We are going to be
late.

A loud noise comes from downstairs. Trent jumps to his feet
and throws on a shirt and jeans. Another loud noise comes
from downstairs.

TRENT
What are you doing down there?

12.

There is no answer. No one answers when Trent calls for
Susan. A loud crashing noise comes from downstairs. Trent
has a worried look on his face.

TRENT
If you can hear me, we are
extremely late for the plane. We
have to go.

It sounds like people are wrestling and crashing into
things. Trent has a bad feeling. He goes into his closet and
grabs a pistol from the top shelf. He checks it to see if
there are bullets inside. He hears moaning coming from
downstairs. He cocks the gun. He slowly walks out of the
bedroom. Trent looks around and sees nothing upstairs. He
makes his way to the stairs. He gently walks down the
stairs. He can now see into the living room. The room looks
like there was a struggle. The coffee table and furniture is
flipped over. A lamp, vase, and the potted plants are
smashed on the floor. Trent gets to the bottom of the
stairs. He turns to see Susan face down in the kitchen. She
is laying in a pool of blood. Two men are on their hands and
knees. They are leaning over Susan's body.

TRENT
Susan! Get away from her.

The two men look up. Blood is dripping from their chins.
They are soaked in blood.

TRENT
Oh my god.

The two men stand up.

TRENT
Don't move. Stay right there.

One of the zombies takes one step, then another step.

TRENT
I said "don't move"!

Trent lifts up his gun and points it at the men. Both of the
zombies are now walking toward Trent. He closes his eyes and
pulls the trigger. The bullet hits one zombie in the chest.
It stumbles back but keeps on walking toward Trent. Trent
shoots again. The zombie won't go down or stop. It just
keeps on walking toward Trent. He fires the rest of the
bullets at the zombies. Every bullet hits them, but it has
no effect on them. They still keep on walking. Trent has a
puzzled look on his face. He turns to run out of the front
door. A woman walks in. Her dress is soaked in blood and one

13.

of her arms is missing. Blood is squirting out of the nub.
Trent turns to head up the stairs. More zombies begin to
pour into Trent's house. Trent slams the door to his bedroom
and locks it. He can hear the moans of the zombies coming up
the stairs. He grabs his cell phone. He dials a number.

TRENT
Fucking busy.

The zombies begin to bang on the door. The door looks like
it's about to break. Trent begins to freak out. He goes to
the closet and reloads his gun. He puts some more bullets in
his pocket. He heads on the window. He opens it and steps
out on the roof. He can see people running and screaming.
Some are dead and being eaten by zombies.

TRENT
What the hell is going on?

The door to the bedroom breaks open. The zombies walk into
the bedroom. Trent turns to see the zombies coming in.

TRENT
Shit.

Trent leans over to look down to the front yard. There are
zombies walking around. He turns and heads to the back of
the roof. He looks into the backyard. There are no zombies.
He jumps down. He turns to see that Susan's body is now
gone. Trent stands and walks toward the sliding glass door.
He opens the door. Out of no where Susan jumps out and
tackles Trent. They both fall outside into the backyard. The
gun goes flying out of Trent's hand. He notices that it's
Susan on top of him. She is trying to bite him.

TRENT
Susan, it's me.

Susan is trying to bite him.

TRENT
What is wrong with you?

Trent holds her head back. Her body is torn open. Blood and
guts are spilling out on top of Trent. Trents kicks Susan
off of him. He quickly gets to his feet. Susan runs toward
Trent. He grabs her.

TRENT
Please stop, I don't want to hurt
you.

14.

Trent turns his body and pushes Susan away from him. She
goes flying backwards. She crashes head first into the
sliding glass door. Her head breaks the glass. The top half
of the glass slides down and chops her head off. Her body
falls to the ground. Trent drops to his knees.

TRENT
What have I done?

Zombies begin to make their way into the backyard. They are
moving toward Trent. Trent grabs his gun and stands up. He
fires all of his bullets into the zombies. They just keep
coming.

TRENT
What the fuck is going on? Why
won't you die?

He quickly reloads his gun. A voice comes from the distance.

BRAD
Get down!

Brad, white male in his mid-thirties dressed in army gear,
and Tom, black male in his earlier forties dressed in army
gear, point their guns at the zombies. Trent drops to the
ground. Tom and Brad begin to open fire. The zombies are
dropping like flies. They stop shooting.

BRAD
You okay?

Trent stands up to see the dead zombies all over his
backyard. He runs over to Tom and Brad.

TRENT
Who are you guys? What the hell is
going on?

Three more army men run into Trent's backyard. George is a
white male in his late forties dressed in army gear and has
a medium build. Bruce is a white male in his mid-thirties
dressed in army gear with a medium build. Ray is a white
male in his late twenties dressed in army gear and has a
stocky build.

GEORGE
What in the hell are you doing? We
are not here to play rescue, dip
shit. Are you trying to get us
killed?

15.

BRAD
No sir.

GEORGE
Then what are you doing?

BRAD
I heard gun shots and came over to
investigate. We can use him as a
tour guide to show us where the
house is.

GEORGE
Why in the fuck do we need a
guide? This isn't some sight
seeing tour.

TRENT
Wait a second, what the hell is
going on?

Trent takes a step toward George. Tom, Bruce, and Ray point
their guns at Trent. He quickly takes two steps back.

BRAD
Listen to me, sir. We are lost and
can use him to show us where The
Gallery is.

TRENT
The movie theater?

TOM
You heard of it?

TRENT
Yeah, why do you want to go there?

GEORGE
None of your god damn business.
It's hard enough to watch Ray's
ass.

RAY
Hey, I'm alright now.

GEORGE
He will only slow us down.

BRAD
I'll watch over him. He will be my
problem.

16.

Bruce turns to the group.

BRUCE
I hate to break up this little
circle jerk, but we are going to
have company. We need to go.

Zombies are walking toward the backyard.

GEORGE
Shit! Once he shows us where to
go, we are leaving him.

Brad pulls out a map.

BRAD
Can you point at it?

Trent points his finger at the map.

TRENT
Right there about ten minutes
away.

RAY
There is no way I can run another
block.

TOM
We need to find a truck.

TRENT
I have one. The keys are inside.

GEORGE
Good, let's go.

The group runs into the house.

TRENT
Just need to find them.

The group is in the living room. Zombies are now coming
inside the house through the back and front doors.

BRUCE
Hurry up.

RAY
Come get some.

Ray pumps his shotgun and unloads on the zombies.

17.

GEORGE
God damn it Ray, save your ammo.
We're almost out.

Trent is on his hands and knees looking for the keys.

TRENT
They must have fallen off the
table when they got in.

BRAD
We don't have much time.

Trent lifts up a plant and searches in the dirt.

TRENT
Got them!

George shoves a zombie to the ground.

GEORGE
Everyone to the truck.

Brad and Trent are out the door first. Brad is firing his
weapon at the zombies. Trents hits the button on his keys
and the doors unlock. The rest of the group comes running
out of the house. Bruce hits one zombie with the butt of his
gun. A zombie grabs him.

BRUCE
Shit, get it off of me!

Tom runs over and pulls out a knife. He jams it in the
zombie's forehead. The zombie drops to the ground.

BRUCE
Thanks.

GEORGE
Get your asses in the truck now!

Tom and Bruce jumps into the truck. The truck is now
surrounded by zombies. They are banging on the windows of
the truck. Trent throws the truck in reverse and slams on
the gas. He hits a couple of zombies pulling back into the
street.

TRENT
Hang on!

Trent spins the truck around and heads off down the road.

18.

RAY
Jesus Christ.

GEORGE
Watch your driving asshole. I
don't want to die in this piece of
shit town.

Trent slams on the brakes.

TRENT
What the fuck is your problem?

BRAD
What are you doing?

GEORGE
It's classified. The only thing I
want to hear from you is "we are
here". Got it?

TRENT
I want some answers right now or
we are not going anywhere.

RAY
That's it, just give me
permission.

Ray points his gun at Trent.

TOM
Fuck man.

BRUCE
This is not the time.

Zombies start to walk towards the truck.

BRAD
Listen we need to go right now. We
have a chopper coming in one hour
to pick us up.

GEORGE
That is classified, don't say one
more word about the mission.

Trent stares into the distance.

GEORGE
That's it, shoot him!

19.

BRAD
I'll explain everything to you
later. This is not the time or
place.

Trent puts the truck in drive and pulls off.

RAY
Thought so.

Ray puts the gun away. Brad pulls out the map again.

BRAD
We need to stop here first.

Brad points at the map.

TRENT
That is just two streets over.

The truck rounds the corner.

Fade to black.

The truck comes to a stop.

GEORGE
Why did we stop?

TRENT
The house is about three down on
the right hand side.

GEORGE
Good. Bruce, Ray and myself will
go in and get the briefcase. I
want you to drive around until you
hear from me. Got it?

BRAD
Yes sir.

Trent starts up the truck and drives up to the house. He
pulls up onto the lawn. Bruce, Ray, and George jump out of
the truck. Bruce smacks a zombie in the face with the butt
of his gun. Ray runs up to the door. He tries the door knob.

RAY
Locked.

GEORGE
Break it down.

20.

Bruce and Ray kick in the door. George, Ray and Bruce run
into the house. Trent throws the truck into drive and takes
off. They drive off down the street.

TRENT
Can I get some answers now?

Brad looks over at Tom. Tom shakes his head.

BRAD
We are a recovery team. Basically
guns for hire. We were hired to
find a professor and some
briefcase that he has. I have no
idea what is in the case or what
the deal is with the professor,
but they are paying us a great
deal of money to get both of them
back.

TOM
They never tell us shit.

TRENT
Well, that doesn't help much.

BRAD
I don't know what else to tell you
kid. We are just as much in the
dark as you.

George's voice comes over the radio.

GEORGE
We have the briefcase. Get your
ass here now.

Gun shoots are heard over the radio.

BRAD
Got it. We're on our way.

Trent makes a u-turn and head's back to the professor's
house. Bruce,Ray, and George are on the front lawn. Zombies
are coming out of the house after them. Ray pushes the group
of zombies to the ground. Trent pulls up onto the lawn. He
hits a couple of zombies. The door flies open. Everybody
jumps into the suv. Bruce is holding his arm.

BRUCE
Fuck. I cant believe on of those
fuckers bit me.

21.

Tom hands Bruce a shirt. He wraps it around the bite mark on
his arm.

BRUCE
God damn it. It feels like its on
fire.

TOM
What the hell happen?

RAY
Those things were everywhere
inside the house. One jumped on
Bruce and took a chunk out of his
arm.

BRUCE
You was suppose to be watching my
back.

Bruce pushes Ray. Ray pushes back.

GEORGE
Cut the shit.

RAY
He started it.

GEORGE
Well, I'm going to finish it. It's
like I'm fucking babysitting.

Ray sticks his tongue out. George grabs it.

GEORGE
I will leave you here. Got it?

Ray shakes his head while George is holding his tongue.

GEORGE
How much time we have left?

BRAD
Forty-five minutes.

GEORGE
How far until we get there?

TRENT
We are almost there.

22.

GEORGE
I want this done fast. We get in
and out. Drop off the tour guide
once we are there.

TRENT
You can't just leave me here.

GEORGE
Why's that? You mean nothing to
me.

Trent has a pissed off look on his face. THe truck comes to
a stop.

TRENT
There's the Gallery.

Trent parks the suv at the entrance way of the parking lot.
Everybody gets out of the suv.

TOM
Don't see much movement.

BRUCE
Finally, some good news.

GEORGE
Look there.

Three zombies walk out from behind the building.

BRAD
No telling how many are inside.

RAY
I'm ready to get the fuck out of
here. Let's just rush in gun ho
style and get the fuck out.

BRUCE
That's why you will never be
captain.

RAY
How's the arm?

Ray slaps the bite on Bruce's arm.

BRUCE
Asshole.

23.

GEORGE
Cut the shit. Let's get the job
done.

Everybody gets back into the truck.

GEORGE
We get in, find the professor, and
get to the pick up. No time for
bullshit.

BRAD
How do we even know the professor
is here?

TOM
Yeah, for all we know he could be
long gone or dead.

GEORGE
Trust me, he is here and alive.
Check your ammo.

The group checks the bullets and clips.

TRENT
Can I get a weapon? I'm out.

George looks at Brad.

GEORGE
That's your problem.

BRAD
Here.

Brad hands Trent a handgun and extra clip.

BRAD
Not a lot of ammo left, so make
every shot count. Aim for the
head.

BRUCE
Does he even know how to shoot
one?

Trent cocks the gun.

TRENT
Think so, just point and shoot.

24.

Trent starts up the truck and pulls into the parking lot. He
comes to a stop just in front of The Gallery. Everybody gets
out of the truck.

GEORGE
Brad, take the keys away from him.

TRENT
What?

GEORGE
This is the end of the line. Get
the keys.

Brad holds out his hand. Trent shakes his head and hands
over the keys.

GEORGE
Split up into two teams. Ray,
Bruce, and I will take the right
side. Tom and Brad take the left.

TRENT
What about me?

GEORGE
Like I said it's the end of the
line.

Brad walks over to Trent.

BRAD
Just follow me.

GEORGE
Keep your eyes open. If you see
something, yell. Make sure you
watch everybody's back. Got it?

The group says "yes sir".

GEORGE
Move out!

The group walks into the lobby of The Gallery. They split up
into two different groups. George's group checks out by the
concession stand. Ray sticks his hand into the popcorn
machine. He grabs a handful of popcorn and eats it. He spits
it out.

RAY
Stale.

25.

GEORGE
Ray, cut the shit and check that
room.

Ray walks into a storage room. He sticks his head out.

RAY
Nothing here.

Ray looks around and grabs a couple of boxes of candy and
sticks it in his jacket pockets. Trent, Tom, and Brad are
walking down a hallway.

TRENT
I use to work here.

BRAD
How long ago?

TRENT
Way before it was bought out by
this company. Oh shit!

Brad turns to see a zombie eatting a woman. Brad points his
weapon and fires. The zombie falls to the floor.

BRAD
I want you to stick to me.

TOM
Don't go limp on us when the shit
hits the fan.

TRENT
I'll try not to.

The hallway is filled with dead bodies. Most of the bodies
have been ripped open.

TOM
Doesn't make sense. Where are
they? The streets are filled with
them.

BRAD
How is that a bad thing?

TRENT
Maybe they travel to where the
food is.

TOM
Just doesn't feel right.

26.

George's group goes into the first movie auditorium. Bruce
holds his nose.

BRUCE
Jesus Christ.

RAY
What did you expect, a bed of
rose?

Ray and Bruce go up each side of the stairs and check each
row. George stays at the bottom and watches the door.

RAY
Clear.

BRUCE
Clear.

GEORGE
Good, let's get to the next one.

Ray walks past a woman that is dead in her seat.

RAY
Bruce, check this chick out. Man,
look at that rack.

A woman is sitting in a seat. Her shirt is ripped open and
her bra is exposed.

BRUCE
You are sick Ray.

RAY
What?

The woman moves a finger. Just as Ray looks back at her, a
zombie comes out of nowhere and grabs Ray by the jacket.

RAY
Oh shit!

He pulls back and opens fire on the zombie woman. It lets
him go. Ray spins around and the woman zombie grabs Ray's
leg. He tumbles down the stairs.

BRUCE
Behind you.

George turns to see a zombie sit up. He opens fire. More and
more zombies are getting up.

27.

GEORGE
Ray, get your ass up. Move out.

Ray jumps to his feet and opens fire. Bruce jumps down the
stairs. Most of the dead in the auditorium are coming back
to life. George, Ray and Bruce run out of the auditorium.
Ray holds the door shut.

RAY
Holy shit, that thing came out of
nowhere.

GEORGE
We need to find the others and
regroup.

BRUCE
Look!

A group of zombies are coming up the hallway. Other zombies
are coming out of the auditorium.

GEORGE
Go!

They run the opposite direction of the zombies. When they
get to the lobby, they can see the parking lot is starting
to fill up with zombies.

RAY
There goes the get away.

A zombie reaches out for George.

GEORGE
Mother fucker!

George hits the zombie with the butt of his gun. They run
down the hallway. Trent, Tom and Brad are at the end of the
hall, inside of an auditorium.

TOM
I wonder what was going through
their minds when it happened. I
just can't imagine.

BRAD
That's one thing I don't want to
think about.

George, Ray and Bruce bust through the door.

28.

BRAD
What happened?

GEORGE
Make sure the door is secure.

BRUCE
Those things are everywhere. They
have the place surrounded.

TOM
Fuck, I knew it!

TRENT
What are we going to do?

RAY
Screw the professor, let's just
head out of the exit and get to
the pick up.

GEORGE
We do not go back without the
Professor.

The zombies are banging on the door. Bruce and Tom head over
to the door to hold it shut.

GEORGE
Ray, make sure those two are dead.

Ray goes over to the two dead bodies and shoots them in the
head.

TRENT
What is going on?

RAY
The dead are coming back to life.
We are trapped in here.

GEORGE
Shut up Ray.

The zombies are pushing on the door. George pulls out a
machine from his pocket.

GEORGE
The tracker says the Professor is
still here.

29.

RAY
Sir, you need to think of
something quick. We can't hold
them.

TRENT
The projection room!

GEORGE
What?

TRENT
Up there.

Trent points at the window at the top of the stairs.

TRENT
That window leads to the
projection room. We can get up
there.

GEORGE
Brad, go check it out.

Brad runs up the stairs and stands on back of the seat. He
pulls himself up to look in.

BRAD
Looks clear.

GEORGE
Do it.

Brad breaks the window with his gun. He makes sure there is
no glass on the edges. He pulls himself up.

BRAD
All clear.

GEORGE
Ok, you two get your asses up
there.

Trent and Ray run up the stairs. Trent stands on back of the
chair. Brad reaches down to lift Trent through the window.
Ray is next through the window. George goes over to Bruce
and Tom. THe door is cracked open.

TOM
Strong bastards.

George helps them shut the door all the way.

30.

GEORGE
The plan is to go to the top of
the stairs and through the window.
On three, we take off. Got it?

Tom and Bruce shakes their heads.

GEORGE
One, two, three.

They let go of the door and take off. The zombies begin to
pour into the auditorium. Tom opens fire on them. The
zombies are moving a little faster than before. They make
the turn and haul ass up the stairs.

BRAD
Hurry up.

Brad has half of his body hanging out of the window. Tom
jumps on the back of the chair and grabs Brad's hands. Brad
and Ray help Tom through the window.

GEORGE
Ray give us cover fire.

Ray starts to shoot at the zombies from the projection room.
George opens fire too. Bruce climbs his way into the window.

BRAD
Come on sir.

George turns and stands on the back of the chair. The back
of the chair breaks. George falls down.

GEORGE
Shit!

George gets on top of another chair. He reaches up for Brad
and Tom. The zombies are getting closer. They pull George
up. The zombies get to the back row and hold their arms up.
Reaching for the window.

RAY
Damn, that was too close.

GEORGE
Is everyone ok?

BRUCE
Yeah.

31.

RAY
I might not sleep ever again after
this, but I'm good.

TOM
Same here.

GEORGE
Clear this place out. Make sure
all doors are secure. Shoot
anything that moves. I don't want
anymore surprises.

The group heads off in different directions. Ray and Tom one
way. Brad and Trent head a different way. Ray looks out one
of the windows into the auditorium.

GEORGE
Must be at least thirty of them in
there. No telling how many are
inside of the building.

TOM
Well, I don't know and don't care.

Tom and Ray check out the door and make sure it is locked.

RAY
You got to admit, this is a
bullshit mission. They said
nothing about the dead coming back
to life. Hell, we got the sample
back. I say fuck the professor and
we get the fuck out of here.

TOM
No mission we've ever went on was
ever a walk in the park. This is
our job. You knew the danger when
you signed up for it. There is no
way we can go back without the
professor or proof that the
professor is dead. Now just keep
your mind in the game.

Brad and Trent walk over to a room. They hear a noise coming
from inside. They look at each other. Brad holds the
doorknob and busts the door open with his shoulder. A girl
screams. Kevin pops up in front of Brad and stabs him with a
screwdriver. Trent points the gun at Kevin.

TRENT
Drop it!

32.

Kevin quickly drops the screwdriver and puts his hands up.

KEVIN
Oh shit man, don't shoot. I
thought you were one of those
fuckers.

Brad holds his shoulder.

BRAD
We're not.

KEVIN
I'm real sorry. We have been
hiding up here since last night.
Then we heard all that noise.
Thought they had gotten in.

Brad turns to Trent.

BRAD
I'll be back. Keep it pointed at
him.

Brad walks back to tell George and the rest of the group.

TRENT
How many survivors are up here?

Trent looks around.

KEVIN
Six up here, not sure about
downstairs. We have someone that
is really hurt.

Nancy and Jennifer stand up from hiding.

TRENT
Jennifer?

JENNIFER
Trent, is that you?

Trent puts the gun away.

TRENT
You ok?

JENNIFER
Yeah, but it's Dennis.

33.

Trent looks over to see a man pale and sweating under a
sheet.

TRENT
What happened?

Trent goes over to Dennis and kneels next to him.

KEVIN
Those crazy fucks just came in the
place and attacked everybody in
site. Luckily we made it up here.

JENNIFER
We were just watching a movie,
when they rushed in and just
attacked everybody.

George and the rest of the group show up.

KEVIN
Oh shit!

Kevin puts his hands up in the air again.

GEORGE
Put your arms down. I have no time
for games. I'm going to ask you
some questions and I want some
answers.

KEVIN
Correction, I want some answers
first. Who the fuck are you to
come in here and boss me around?

GEORGE
Ray!

In a split second, Ray sweeps Kevin's legs out from under
him. Kevin hits the ground hard. Ray sticks a gun to Kevin's
head.

RAY
Now, are you going to answer the
man's questions?

Kevin shakes his head. Ray helps him up.

KEVIN
Get off of me.

34.

GEORGE
We are looking for a man.

KEVIN
Sorry, but I don't swing that way.

GEORGE
Ray!

Ray sweeps Kevin's legs again. George kneels next to him.

GEORGE
What a smart ass, I'm going to ask
this one more time. If I don't get
the answer I'm looking for, I will
feed you to those things. Got it?

Kevin shakes his head.

GEORGE
I'm looking for a man about your
height. Dark black hair has a
tattoo of some numbers on his
wrist.

KEVIN
Yeah, I know him.

GEORGE
Good! Now was that so hard?

KEVIN
Sounds like the guy who was
fucking your mother right after I
was done with her.

Ray let's out a laugh. George looks at Ray.

GEORGE
Pick him up.

George looks at his watch.

GEORGE
Oh, look at the time. It's just
about feeding time. Toss him.

Kevin starts to put up a struggle. Ray bends his arm back.

TRENT
Come on, you can't expect the kid
to know anything.

35.

GEORGE
I gave him the option.

Ray starts to push Kevin toward the door.

BRAD
Come on sir, we don't have time
for this.

GEORGE
Oh, I think we have time.

Trent pulls out the handgun and points it at George. Bruce
and Tom points their weapons at Trent.

TRENT
Let him go.

GEORGE
What are you going to do, shoot
me?

George puts his forehead against the barrel of the gun.

GEORGE
You don't have it in you.

BRAD
Cut the shit. Trent, put down the
gun.

Jennifer grabs the screwdriver and holds it to the back of
Ray's neck.

JENNIFER
Put the gun down.

George laughs.

GEORGE
Kill him, you will be doing me a
favor. No offense.

Ray looks at George.

PROFESSOR
I think you are looking for me.

The professor is standing outside of the doorway. Everybody
turns to look.

GEORGE
Professor Martin!

36.

PROFESSOR
I guess they sent you here to
bring me back? Let go of the kid
and put your guns down. Violence
never solves anything.

Nobody moves an inch.

PROFESSOR
I won't go with you if you don't.

George nods to Ray, Bruce, and Tom. Ray lets go of Kevin.
Tom and Bruce lower their weapons. Trent lowers his gun.

RAY
Um, Can somebody tell this bitch
to get the flat head from out of
my neck?

TRENT
Jennifer, it's OK.

Jennifer puts the screwdriver away.

GEORGE
Well this has been fun, but its
time to go doc.

JENNIFER
What about us?

KEVIN
Yeah, take us with you.

GEORGE
The only people leaving is my men
and the professor. The rest of
ya'll are on your own.

Nancy comes out of hiding.

NANCY
You have to take me with you. My
father is a very rich and powerful
man. He would pay you handsomely
for my safe return.

GEORGE
Hate to tell you this, but your
father is probably dead. Time?

TOM
Fifteen minutes.

37.

GEORGE
We have to go now. Follow me.

George, Ray, Bruce, Tom, and Brad walk out of the room.
George grabs the Professor by the arm. The group walks off.
Nancy tries to follow, but Ray pushes her back into the
room. Kevin catches her.

KEVIN
You OK?

Nancy just shrugs off Kevin and walks away from him. Trent
walks over to Jennifer.

TRENT
How long has Dennis been like
this?

JENNIFER
Since he was bitten last night.

TRENT
Who bit him?

JENNIFER
There was a man in the show with
us. He was coughing really badly.
The next thing you know, he just
goes crazy. Attacking anybody
close to him, he grabbed me on the
arm. Dennis tried to fight him
off, but then more of those
monsters came in. That's when he
bit Dennis on the arm. We were
lucky enough to get up here.

KEVIN
You can thank me for that.

JENNIFER
Where is Susan?

Trent looks away.

TRENT
She didn't make it.

JENNIFER
I'm so sorry Trent. What is going
on?

TRENT
I don't know. Wish I did.

38.

NANCY
What did he mean by he is probably
dead? There is no way he could be
dead.

TRENT
I'm sure he's fine, but more
important we need to figure out
how we are getting out of here.

KEVIN
What do you mean? We standing
here.

Kevin grabs Nancy. She just pushes Kevin off of him.

JENNIFER
Why can't we just go with them?

TRENT
There is no chance the will take
us. I'm lucky to be here. The
commander is an asshole. He would
rather kill us than save us. We
just need to stick together and
come up with a plan.

The army group is standing around a table with weapons.

GEORGE
How much ammo do we have left?

RAY
I have two clips and a couple of
shells.

TOM
Just a clip.

BRAD
Same here.

BRUCE
Half a magazine.

RAY
There is no way we can last with
that.

TOM
It will be a miracle if we make it
to the pick up point in time.

39.

GEORGE
Let me think; maybe we can tell
them to pick us up here.

TOM
If we can get in touch with them.
There's a shot.

GEORGE
Tom and Bruce get to the roof and
try to get in touch with the evac
team. Get one of those punk kids
show you how to get up there.

Tom and Bruce walk off.

GEORGE
Now the real problem at hand, how
to get the samples out of the
truck?

PROFESSOR
You have the samples?

RAY
It was a pain in the ass, but we
got them.

PROFESSOR
Why do you think I stole them and
escaped here?

GEORGE
I really don't care. I'm being
paid good money to bring you back
alive.

PROFESSOR
I would rather die, before going
back there.

RAY
That could be arranged.

PROFESSOR
I want my work to save lives and
help mankind, not destroy it.

BRAD
What do you mean?

GEORGE
It's none of our business. Got it?

40.

BRAD
I would like to know what the fuck
is going on here.

RAY
He has a good point. I want to
know why we were sent on a mission
to hell.

GEORGE
What did I say? It's highly
classified. Top secret! How about
you worry on getting the samples
back?

PROFESSOR
If you'll excuse me, I have a sick
patient to attend to.

The professor walks back into the room with the other
surivors in it.

BRAD
So, what is the plan?

GEORGE
I'm thinking. Some how we need to
make it back to the truck.

RAY
Fuck that! There is no way I'm
going back down there.

Nancy walks up to George.

NANCY
I demand you to take me with you.

George puts both hands on the table. He looks down and
shakes his head.

GEORGE
Jesus Christ, I really don't need
this right now.

NANCY
My father is a very important
judge. He will

George cuts Nancy off in mid sentence.

41.

GEORGE
Listen to me, your dad could be
the fucking president or the pope
and I still wouldn't care.

NANCY
You're an asshole.

Nancy slaps George across the face and walks off crying.

RAY
Oh shit, what a little firecraker.

GEORGE
I hate kids.

George covers his face with his hand.

BRAD
How about we trap them in the
shows?

GEORGE
That might work, we throw the
survivors in the shows with those
creatures and keep them busy.

BRAD
That's not what I had in mind.

RAY
What are you talking about?

BRAD
We some how get those things to
chase someone into one of the
shows and just lock them in.

GEORGE
How might we get them to go into
the shows?

BRAD
We get them to chase us.

RAY
Fuck that!

BRAD
It's simple, we have them chase us
into a show and climb up though
the window to get back up here.
Those things are slow enough not
(MORE)

42.

BRAD (cont'd)
to catch up with us.

RAY
And who will play the guinea pig
in this plan?

BRAD
I'll do it. I would need one other
to watch my back, plus it would be
a lot easier to get the samples
back.

GEORGE
That's true. Let's do it. We need
to execute this plan to the T. I
don't want anything to go wrong.

The Professor is re-wrapping Dennis's wound. Jennifer is
wiping the sweat off of his face.

JENNIFER
How is he?

PROFESSOR
Not good, the fever is getting
worst. Without the right medicines
and equipment there's not much I
can do.

Jennifer looks down at Dennis.

TRENT
Excuse me, Can I have a word with
you?

PROFESSOR
Sure.

TRENT
What is going on? Is there
anything you can tell me about how
this all got started?

PROFESSOR
I'm am one of the top botanists in
the country.

TRENT
What is that?

The Professor let's out a little laugh.

43.

PROFESSOR
I basically study plants. One day
I was approached by the government
with a rare find. It was a flower
found in the heart of the rain
forest. It's one of the most
beautiful flowers you will ever
see. Its natural defense is to
spray its pollen when it feels
threaten.

TRENT
How does this all fit?

PROFESSOR
One day my assistant was
accidentally sprayed with the
pollen. He became violently ill
and died.

TRENT
Can we jump ahead?

PROFESSOR
Well he didn't stay dead. My
assistant came back to life.

TRENT
Like a zombie?

PROFESSOR
Exactly like one. The pollen is
the most powerful poison known to
man. It doesn't just kill you, it
turns you into a zombie after you
die. Like a zombie, it only wants
one thing. Human flesh. The
government soon found this out and
wanted to use the pollen in there
bio-weapons. Be the first to use
it before anyone can use it on
them. They were testing the stuff
on our own soldiers. So I stole
all the data and the samples and I
came here. I had gotten word that
the flower started to pop up
around the world.

TRENT
The outbreaks!

44.

PROFESSOR
Exactly, I was in a radio to find
a cure. Just didn't know it would
spread so fast.

TRENT
Dennis was bitten by one of those
things. Will he turn into one of
them? Do you have a cure?

PROFESSOR
No, I haven't found one yet. He
will die within the hour. There is
a good possibility that he will
turn into one of them. There's no
way to be sure.

TRENT
Wait, one of the army guys was
bitten.

Kevin,Tom, and Bruce are on top of the building. Tom is on
the radio.

TOM
Yes sir, I understand. Over and
out.

BRUCE
What did they say?

TOM
They will be here in two hours.

BRUCE
Well, that's good news. At least
we can hide out here until then.

Bruce grabs his bite wound in pain.

TOM
You OK?

BRUCE
Yeah, it's just shooting pain. It
comes and goes.

Kevin is standing on the edge of the roof. He is spitting on
zombies in the parking lot.

KEVIN
Oh man, I totally nailed that one.

45.

Bruce holds his arm and drops to the ground.

BRUCE
Jesus Christ it burns.

TOM
What's happening?

BRUCE
Not sure, but it feels like
there's a fire inside of me.

TOM
Let's get you back inside.

Tom tries to pick Bruce up. Bruce let's out a loud scream.

BRUCE
It hurts too bad when I move.

Tom puts Bruce back down.

TOM
I'm going back inside to get help.
Hey kid, watch him.

Kevin waves his arm.

TOM
I'll be right back.

Tom heads off to go back inside. Bruce is rolling around in
pain. Kevin is still spitting on zombies. Bruce lifts up his
shirt. A piece of his stomach is expanding like a balloon.
He lets out a loud scream. Kevin turns to see.

KEVIN
Holy shit man, you OK?

Kevin runs over to Bruce. He bends over him.

KEVIN
What the fuck is happening?

Kevin touches the balloon sac on Bruce's stomach.

BRUCE
You asshole, don't touch it.

KEVIN
Sorry.

46.

The balloon sac expands until it pops. Blood splashes on
Kevin.

KEVIN
Shit!

Bruce is dead. Kevin tries to wipe some of the blood off.

KEVIN
Hey, you alive?

Kevin pushes Bruce with his foot. Bruce does not move.

KEVIN
Oh Shit!

INT. INSIDE THE THEATER - NIGHT

Tom runs up to the group.

TOM
It's Bruce, he looks real bad.

GEORGE
Get the professor.

Kevin is wiping off blood from his face and clothes. His
back turned to Bruce. Bruce sits up. Tom runs into the room
with the Professor and Trent.

TOM
Doc, we need you.

The group goes onto the roof. Tom looks around.

TOM
Where is he?

Kevin screams for the guys.

KEVIN
I could use some help here.

Kevin is on top of an air condition unit. Bruce is trying to
grab at Kevin.

KEVIN
Get him away from me.

The group runs over. Bruce turns and attacks George. He
tackles him to the ground. Bruce is trying to bite him.

47.

PROFESSOR
Don't let him bite you.

GEORGE
What do you think I'm doing.

Ray, Brad, and Tom grab Bruce off of George. He is going
crazy trying to bite everybody.

PROFESSOR
You must destory him. before he
can infect anybody else.

RAY
What should we do?

PROFESSOR
Destory the brain. That is what
keeps them alive.

George pulls out a handgun and puts it to Bruce's head.

RAY
There's got to be another way.

PROFESSOR
There is no other way.

TOM
Don't do it, we can bring him back
and cure him. Come sir, he's our
friend.

Kevin is still on top of the air condition.

KEVIN
Fuck that shit, he tried to kill
me.

PROFESSOR
If you let him live, he will kill
us all. He is not your friend
anymore. You must kill him.

GEORGE
I'm sorry.

George pulls the trigger and shoots Bruce in the head. Bruce
falls over.

RAY
Fuck man!

48.

PROFESSOR
There's nothing you could have
done for him.

Ray and Tom walk back inside.

GEORGE
Is there anybody else that has
been bitten?

The Professor does not answer.

GEORGE
Tell me or I'll go down there and
shoot them all.

PROFESSOR
The man lying in the room.

George cocks his gun and heads back inside.

BRAD
Sir?

The Professor and Brad chase behind George. He walks into
the room and points the gun at Dennis.

TRENT
What are you doing?

GEORGE
He's been biten and he will turn
into one of those things.

TRENT
You don't know that.

The Professor and Brad walk into the room. Jennifer jumps in
between Dennis and the gun.

GEORGE
Move or I will shoot you.

TRENT
Tell him, Professor. There's no
way to know that. He might not
change.

PROFESSOR
He has been infected, but there is
no way to know if he will change.

49.

GEORGE
Well, that's a chance I'm not
willing to take.

TRENT
You might be killing an innocent
man.

GEORGE
Wouldn't be the first time. I will
give you to the count of three to
move out of the way.

JENNIFER
He is the only thing I have left
in this world. Without him, I'm
nothing.

GEORGE
One.

TRENT
You can't be serious.

GEORGE
Very serious. Two!

JENNIFER
I'm not moving.

Nancy grabs Trent's gun and opens fire on Dennis.

JENNIFER
NOOOOOOOO!

Nancy has a blank look on her face. She drops the gun.

NANCY
I don't want one of those things
in here with me. Like you said,
there's no way to know.

Everybody runs into the room. Jennifer is holding Dennis in
her arms. She's crying.

GEORGE
Men come with me.

The army group walks back out of the room. Trent goes to
hold Jennifer. She gets up and goes after Nancy. She runs
out of the room.

50.

TRENT
Jennifer.

Trent grabs Jennifer before she can catch Nancy.

TRENT
It's OK. It's OK. Calm down.

Jennifer is crying in Trent's arms.

INT. MOVIE THEATER - NIGHT

The army group is standing around a window looking down into
the auditorium.

TOM
I count five in here.

RAY
No six.

A zombie wonders in.

GEORGE
This is the one with the least
amount of creatures in it.

TOM
What's the plan?

GEORGE
With Bruce dead, we are one short.

RAY
I say we just wait for the back up
to come and then go after the
samples.

TOM
No time, they want to get in and
out as fast as possible.

GEORGE
As far as they know we have the
samples up here with us.

TOM
What's the plan?

GEORGE
We are one man short without
Bruce, so we need an extra guy.

51.

BRAD
Who might that be?

George points at Brad.

GEORGE
Your tour guide.

BRAD
There's no way he would do it.
After that little stunt you just
pulled.

GEORGE
Then tell him we will take them
with us.

BRAD
Basically, you want me to lie to
him.

GEORGE
What is your problem? You have
questioned every order I have
given you. You have a problem with
the way I'm running this mission?

BRAD
No, sir!

Brad walks off towards the room. Trent is covering up
Dennis. Jennifer is lying on the floor.

BRAD
How is she?

TRENT
She's shaken up pretty bad.

BRAD
Listen I have to ask for your
help.

TRENT
What might that be?

BRAD
We are going after the samples and
we need one more person.

Trent looks at Brad.

52.

TRENT
Why should I do it?

BRAD
You owe me.

TRENT
I owe you nothing.

Trent turns his back on Brad. Brad grabs Trent on his
shoulder and turns him around.

BRAD
If it wasn't for me you'd be dead
right now. I'm the one who saved
you. You owe me a lot.

Trent pushes Brad off of him.

TRENT
You should have left me back
there. We're already dead. There's
no chance in hell we're getting
out alive.

BRAD
I figure you wouldn't do it, but
there is a way out.

TRENT
Oh yeah, what's that?

BRAD
If you help us this one time,
everybody is going to be saved. I
need somebody to watch my back. It
will be real quick. The rescue
team will be here in twenty
minutes. Nothing will happen.
Trust me. If not, then do it for
them.

Trent looks over at Jennifer.

TRENT
If anything happens I will kill
you myself.

BRAD
Fair enough. We leave in five
minutes.

53.

Brad walks out of the room. Trent looks around and follows
behind. Ray is leaning next to Nancy talking to her. Kevin
walks up on them.

KEVIN
I suggest you should just walk on.

Ray looks over at Kevin.

RAY
Oh yeah, Why's that?

KEVIN
That's my girl you're talking to.

NANCY
I don't think so, I would never be
seen with a loser like you.

Nancy and Ray laugh at Kevin. He walks off.

RAY
I think we could squeeze you in
with us.

NANCY
I would do anything for the person
that would help me.

RAY
That's good to know.

George walks up to Ray.

GEORGE
What the fuck are you doing?

RAY
We're just talking.

GEORGE
Is that right?

George grabs Ray's finger and bends it back.

GEORGE
Get your ass ready, we are about
to go.

George pushes Ray over to the rest of the group.

54.

GEORGE
Here's the plan. Tom, Ray, and I
will act as bait. When we give the
signal, Brad and Trent will run
out to the truck and get the
samples. The Professor will make
sure to keep watch.

RAY
Wait, I thought we were going
after the samples and they were
the bait.

GEORGE
I changed the plan. We enter
through the last auditorium and go
out into the hallway. We will lead
