Flashburn Page #2

What the hell

is she talking about?

- You really don't remember?

- No, I don't!

I was your assistant.

Okay, do you remember

how we created the virus?

I don't.

I need you to show me.

Wonderful.

[beeping]

KALIE:
Are you sure

she's with him?

Where there's Lazarus,

there is Nolan.

Right.

Come on,

they're in the Dark Zone.

We have no other choice.

It's a risk we're

gonna have to take.

Sinclair.

I take it that you know

the password, right?

Only you know it.

Security precaution.

Okay.

Is there anything,

any details you can give me

to help me remember?

What did you name the virus?

Flashburn.

I named it Flashburn.

Well done, Wes.

That's it.

Jesus Christ!

- Ah!

- Stop, stop.

Let me look at this.

Show him, Kalie.

Okay, fine, but you have

to wear a mask and gloves.

I need to see her arm.

WES:
Here. Satisfied?

I need you to do

exactly as I say.

You'll find syringes

in the drawer.

You don't have to do this.

Open the fridge and take

the vial Flashburn number 7.

Mix it with her blood

and see if it turns black.

WES:
Okay, that can't be good.

I need a vaccine.

You're my only hope.

How did it happen?

I cut it...

coming out of your car.

What do you mean, my car?

Where were we going?

I don't know for sure.

Something was happening

back at GenoCal.

There was

a facility lockdown.

- GenoCal.

- You were the lead virologist.

There was some sort

of security breach,

and you insisted

that we leave right away.

Wes.

Wes, wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up, Wes!

So the men came,

and they were shooting at us.

[gunfire]

I thought you were dead,

so I ran, and I hid for hours.

How did we crash my car

in a locked warehouse, Kalie?

I... I don't know.

I need you tell me

the truth, Kalie,

if you want me to help you.

I don't know.

[beeping]

Straight to the van, Kalie.

I have a visual.

Look! The fence.

No! Sit down!

[distant shouting]

[shouting continues]

Get this car started.

[beeping]

[shouting continues]

KALIE:
Milton.

I'm on it.

[shouting continues]

[electric buzzing]

Okay, you said that we're

using the virus as a weapon.

Who? The army?

Shh.

We should get back to work.

I'm getting you out of here.

Don't do it, Wes.

Yeah, well, I'm not

listening to you anymore.

Do not trust her.

I'm your only way out.

She is manipulating you.

She's playing

with your emotions.

Let me see your leg.

Ankle, the other one.

Please, Wes.

Go back.

I need you focused

on finding the vaccine.

- [gunfire]

- [screams]

What did I tell you?

Stop it!

I will let you out of here

once you fix

what you have created.

- Kalie.

- Yeah.

MILTON:
Someone else

is with Lazarus.

What do you mean,

someone else?

- A second dot has appeared.

- Like a glitch?

MILTON:
That's what I thought

at first, but it moves.

Definitely not a shadow image.

We'll just be careful

when we get there.

Thank you.

KALIE:
We're gonna need gas.

32 miles ahead of you.

How can there be

someone else with Lazarus?

I don't know.

LAZARUS:
They are not going

to come to the second floor.

You know what?

I'm not taking any chances.

We are the ones

who wanted you here.

You wanted out.

Maybe so, lady,

but I'm having a big problem

finding any logic

in this at all.

This is not about you,

Kalie, or I.

The epidemic is spreading fast.

The world needs you.

Are you Leah?

Who's Leah?

She's my wife.

No.

I'm Kalie.

Right.

Right.

How do you feel?

What about this?

These red dots.

That mean anything to you?

It means nothing to me.

This is an old map.

How do you know it's old?

The red dots

are the infected areas,

the blue dots are at risk,

and the yellow dots,

they were safe havens.

What do you mean, were?

It's not like this anymore.

The entire North American

continent is contaminated.

That's why we don't want you

to leave the premises.

WES:
Yeah, well, I was

just out on the rooftop.

How did that happen?

The rooftop

was not a good idea.

You may be contaminated.

What about this?

Any of this?

I'm trying, but I just...

I can't remember.

Some of it, but I can't

figure out the equations

unless I know

how you applied them.

What about this?

There.

Does it help any?

I don't know what this is.

Oh, my God,

I understand it all.

Is your memory coming back?

I think so.

You have to make an effort,

Wes, please.

We knew each other.

- I was just your assistant.

- No.

It was more than that.

No.

KALIE:
Milton.

Milton.

Milton!

I'm here.

KALIE:
Where were you?

I have to pee

once in a while.

Try that in a hazmat suit.

Okay.

We're at the gas station.

I have a visual.

KALIE:
Any danger?

MILTON:
Area secured.

Okay, thank you.

We're stepping out.

It's working.

[beeping]

Milton.

Everything's okay.

Sinclair!

Sinclair!

SINCLAIR:
Come out!

- KALIE:
Lower your rifle!

- I won't!

We don't want to hurt you!

- You already did!

- What do you want?

The vaccine

I've been promised!

- We don't have it!

- Then he dies.

Guns on the ground.

What?

You heard what I said.

Guns on the ground!

What's your name?

Dylan McKenzie.

I'm Kalie Jorgensen.

This is Jack Stewart,

and the man you're about to kill

is Luke Sinclair.

I don't wanna kill anyone!

I just want the vaccine

the government promised me!

KALIE:
Are you alone in there?

I proved you

my good faith.

Are you alone in there?

My wife and my daughter

are with me.

- Are they infected?

- They are.

- What about yourself?

- Not yet.

Look.

We can help you.

You just have to trust me.

I want the vaccine

the government promised me!

There is no government!

- You're U.S. Army.

- What's left of it.

Dylan, you have to let us in!

Get in!

Move!

Move it!

Move it!

I said get in! Move!

So, Ms. Jorgensen...

Call me Kalie.

What the f*** is going on?

You know as much as I do.

I don't know anything,

except what I been promised.

Yeah, I got that part,

but the people that promised it

to you are no longer with us.

Where's your wife and daughter?

In there.

KALIE:
What stage?

DYLAN:
Terminal, for all I know.

KALIE:
You know about

the meltdown?

Whatever I saw on the TV till

all the channels went blank.

The first one to give up

was Arkansas Nuclear One.

It provoked a chain reaction.

In a matter of hours,

it was followed by

the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station

in Mississippi,

then the Waterford Steam

Electric Station in Louisiana,

and the South Texas Project

in Bay City.

A total of 12 nuclear reactors

gave up,

creating the Dark Zone.

What's this have to do

with the epidemic?

Because of the meltdown,

an experimental virus

called Flashburn

was released by a secret

facility called GenoCal.

So it was

the government's fault.

We're not here to point fingers.

We're not on trial.

My wife and my daughter

need it now.

Look, I wish I could help you,

but I can't yet.

They have no time left.

There's a man.

His name is Wes Nolan.

He's a virologist.

He may have the vaccine.

- Where is he?

- Deep in the Dark Zone.

No one survives the Dark Zone.
