Feral Page #4

---

What happened to Jesse?

You wouldn't believe me

if I told you.

You better start talking

or I'm gonna put a bullet

through your f***ing skull.

Now!

It's a virus.

Like rabies, only much worse.

That thing that attacked you

your first night

at the campsite..

That was Ben, my son.

- You bullshit.

- He has the Feral virus.

And now your friends do too.

I kept him..

...locked up in the cellar.

Chained and sedated so that

he wouldn't harm anyone.

That I could study him

and maybe find a cure.

But, he escaped.

[grunting]

First is incubation.

The virus spreads

through the host

attacking the central

nervous system

killing the victim.

If the host isn't killed

with the attack

it's killed by the virus.

And then phase two kicks in.

Reanimation of the dead body.

Reanimate?

What do you mean, like a zombie?

You expect me

to believe this bullshit?

You can believe what you want.

But you seen it for yourself.

It lies dormant in the daytime

but at night, the virus wakes

and the body changes.

It becomes what you saw.

[indistinct]

I told you

you wouldn't believe me.

And what about my friend?

She doesn't have much longer,

she is going to die

and become a Feral.

Oh, my God.

And you should know this too.

It will be back.

They all will.

Why will they be back?

Because the food is here.

Food?

[sniffles]

He means us.

[sniffles]

[intense music]

Eight years ago, we came up here

on our annual family vacation.

Love comin' up here.

My wife, myself

my son, his wife, my..

My granddaughter.

Ben went out

to the woods to get firewood

or something.

He was attacked..

...by something.

I don't even know what.

I didn't see it.

He bled out

before I could move him.

He was gone.

That night, he killed his wife

and his daughter.

Tore his mother to pieces.

And then, they changed.

[snarls]

[gunshot]

They're gonna die

and they're going to turn.

You have to kill them.

I don't wanna die.

No one is gonna kill anyone.

- Let's go.

- What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna put you somewhere

where you can't cause trouble

until I can figure this out.

You can't leave me down here!

They're gonna return,

and you're gonna die

and I'm gonna be trapped

down here.

[crickets chirping]

Okay, so we have to assume

that there are

three of those things out there.

Three?

Jesse, Matt

Talbot's son.

You think Matt's one, too?

Yeah. His body disappeared.

Jesus.

I feel like we should be

doing something.

Can you go check on Brie?

- Yeah, sure.

- Thanks.

[footsteps approaching]

[mellow music]

Um..

Guys, you should come see this.

Like, now!

Hold this.

Is -- is she turning into

one of those things?

Sh*t.

What do we do?

I don't know, I..

We should tie her

to the bed? I..

Do you think that

will even hold her?

That thing was really

f***ing strong.

Maybe..

Maybe we should just..

What?

Put her out of her misery.

- You mean kill her?

- Yes.

- That's murder, Jules.

- Okay, she's not human anymore!

- You can see it.

- She's our friend!

Our friend is about to

rip us apart!

Okay, I'm a doctor.

I don't take lives, I save them.

I'm talking about saving

our lives.

We're not taking any lives,

and that is final!

Do you have a better plan?

Whatever we do,

we need to do it quick.

Sh*t.

Um, grab -- grab her feet.

Grab her feet.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

Okay.

[breathing heavily]

We need your help.

Now you want my help?

I'm not here to fix

your problems.

She's about to become

your problem, too.

[Brienne whimpering]

We got two, three minutes tops.

[whimpering]

We need to get her

into the cellar.

You need to shoot her

in the head.

She is going to turn!

You are going to help us

get her into the cellar, now!

- You don't understand!

- Please!

[intense music]

[screaming]

Hold her still!

Hold still!

Get her arm!

[shrieking]

Ah!

Little help here!

[grunts]

[whimpering]

[screaming]

Got it!

Hey, you're going to be okay.

Okay?

You're gonna be okay.

Go get me the medical supplies

from upstairs.

Hey, look at me.

Look at me.

- Can you sedate her?

- Why?

- Before she injures herself.

- What's the point?

There's nothin' you can do

for her now.

This isn't a debate.

Just do it.

[Brienne screaming]

You do realize

you're makin' a mistake?

Yeah, we'll see.

[screaming continues]

I don't know how long

that's gonna hold her for.

If she wakes up again,

we'll just dose her.

Hey.

You're gonna be okay.

I don't feel very good.

Best thing you can do for her..

...is a bullet.

- Put her out of her misery.

- Will you give it a rest?

You don't understand

what's at stake here, do you?

This goes way beyond

self-preservation.

Once we're all Ferals,

how long do you think

it's gonna be before one of us

makes it to the outside world?

Well, we'll have to make sure

that doesn't happen.

- Hurry up, Jules!

- I'm coming!

[growling]

[rustling]

Here you go.

- Alice?

- Yeah?

You're a really good person.

- I mean that.

- Hey.

You hold my hand, okay?

[sniffles]

What do we do about him?

Okay, that should,

that should do it.

Will it hold?

I guess.

I thought you were a Girl Scout.

- Tie a knot.

- I'm, I'm from Brooklyn.

We don't have Girl Scouts.

[clatters]

They're here.

F***! Could this get

any worse?

You haven't seen worse yet..

...but it's comin'.

Where's your knife?

Is that your thing..

...stabbin' people in the back?

Shut up.

- Hey!

- What?

You better do something

about your friend.

Oh, sh*t.

Gina?

- Is she changing?

- Come untie me.

- And I -- I'll help.

- No.

I can't help

if I'm tied to a post.

I can't do that.

Okay?

Just, just tell me

what to do, all right?

Maybe you could sedate her.

Go over to the table

where the bottles are.

Umm..

What do I need?

Thiopental.

- What's that say?

- Thiopental.

Okay, that's it.

Use that one.

Now, find a needle,

one with the top on.

Not that one.

Okay.

Turn the bottle upside down.

Stick the needle in the center

of the rubber stopper.

- Okay.

- Pull back on the plunger.

Okay.

All right. I got it.

Now, what do I do?

[intense music]

[growling]

[gunshot]

[dramatic music]

[glass shatters]

[creaking]

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

[growling]

Son.

[intense music]

[screeching]

[snarls]

Hey!

[screeching]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

Jules.

Hey.

You're gonna be okay.

[footsteps]

What happened?

You were drugged.

Where's Talbot?

I don't know.

But I hear something moving

up there.

I don't think it's him though.

Sounds like an -- another Feral.

So, we're trapped down here.

Yeah, well, this is probably

the safest place we could be.

It doesn't know we're down here.

Then let's keep it that way.

[Brienne screaming]

Sh*t. Alice!

[growling]

Alice?

Please, strap her.

[banging on door]
