Growth Page #4

---

you didn't grow up in that house.

It was

not good.

Justin, we're not getting money.

What?

I thought I could handle it, but--

I wanted to get you that treatment.

It's stupid, I know.

No. No, it's not stupid.

Jamie, you're my sister.

Step-sister.

But you're my blood.

Are you okay?

( panting )

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I guess I'm not 100% yet.

Where's Kristin?

Okay.

Thanks.

( screaming )

( footsteps )

- How's it going?

- Good.

Just chopping away.

Looking good.

Thanks.

I, uh...

This is awkward.

You're Jamie's only family and--

( screeching )

My God, why is this so hard?

Um...

I--

what I was asking is--

I was asking

for Jamie's hand in marriage.

Wow.

Yeah, it's--

this isn't easy for me.

Look at me. I'm a mess.

Relax.

- I mean, I brought the ring.

- ( screeching )

You know, I wasn't gonna ask,

but everything's been so tense

around here

that I thought, you know,

maybe I would, you know--

Listen, I'm late for meeting Kristin

by the lake,

but I'm happy to be brothers.

( exhales )

( screams )

( whispering ) Hello, Jamie?

Anybody? Hello?

Kristin over walkie-talkie:

Jamie, hello? Jamie?

( turns off sound )

Can you hear me?

( twig snaps )

( screaming )

- Hey.

- Hey.

Do you want to open

a military supply shop?

- We're not getting the money.

- Huh?

There was some ordinance.

And I tried to fix it,

but it got all messed up.

And there weren't any phones.

God, Marco.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

That's okay.

Listen, we can open a flea market.

- I want you to relax.

- Really?

Yeah, as long as you handle

the fleas.

I don't like bugs.

I was so nervous to tell you.

Well, speaking of nerves...

- ( knocks on door )

- Yes?

Excuse me.

Is someone here sick?

- Who wants to know?

- I found this note on my door.

Dr. Macavire.

Jamie Ackerman.

I used to play with your granddaughter.

Oh, yes, absolutely, of course.

It's great to see you again.

The note says that your brother

is unwell. Are you he?

No, he just left a minute ago.

- Hmm, that's a speedy recovery.

- Yeah, it was, actually.

Muscle spasms, shortness of breath,

disorientation, complaints of cold?

- How did you know?

- He just left, you say?

- Yeah.

- Where? How long ago?

To the lake, about five minutes ago.

We can catch up to him--

He's on foot

on the trail to the lake.

- What are you doing?

- Jamie, are these his sunglasses?

Jamie, he's diseased.

He's very sick.

And I need to see him

right away.

For what?

- To help him, of course.

- ( footsteps )

What's with all

the heavy artillery?

He already attacked one woman,

killed her.

She was last seen with him. Those

glasses were found next to the body.

- That doesn't prove anything.

- No, of course not,

but it does raise suspicions.

- Come on.

- Jamie.

Kristin!

Kristin!

( men chattering )

( Jamie exclaims )

( grunts )

( muffled screaming )

- Gun!

- ( two gunshots )

You're gonna kill us all.

No, man, just you.

Look at him.

He's sick.

( muffled scream )

( c*cks gun )

( screams )

( screams )

( muffled screaming )

I'm sorry.

Oh my God.

Darren Francis Roberts,

Mary's son,

three kids, a good man.

( gunshot )

That he was.

How is this happening, Doc?

A half-life maybe.

I don't know.

Tape 'em.

Jake--

( water dripping )

Feeling better?

What is this place?

It's our sanctuary.

Who are you?

It's me, sweetheart.

Welcome home.

Oh my God.

Mason. Oh God.

You've grown.

Look.

One of God' overlooked

gifts to humanity,

Iike me.

( hissing, creature screeching )

This will keep you safe.

Mason, I can't do this anymore.

I know.

- What are you doing?

- What needs to be done.

Now she has to give us

the antidote.

You've lost it, Mason.

Tell me where the antidote is

so I can save you.

I destroyed it.

You killed her.

Mason:
This solution

helps to keep the parasites at bay.

( Mason moans )

Your mother

had developed an antidote

that could have stopped

all of this.

But it doesn't matter now.

Even if you do know where it is,

you are the only one.

What's gonna happen to Justin?

I've been watching you.

I needed a diversion

to get you here alone.

This is the place

where your mother and I designed

to evolve mankind.

I have devoted my life

to that goal.

But I became old and ill.

I had to infect myself

in order to survive.

But I'm close.

Any day now

my work will be complete.

When I was stationed here

with the task of evolving mankind--

That's enough!

No!

( pounding )

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

( distant sirens wailing )

Go through sections 1, 3 and 6.

See if there are any survivors

and bring them here.

Sections 4, 8 and 11

have all been overrun.

Larkin, my father lives in 11.

- Jamie over walkie-talkie: Hello?

- No.

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

Jamie, is that you?

Thank God.

I'm trapped in a laboratory

with Mason Lane.

Whoever you are,

I need your help.

Jamie, listen,

I know where you are.

Get out and find someplace to hide.

I'm on my way.

You take care of them.

I'll deal with this.

( man screaming )

( crash )

( panting )

Man:
Somebody help me!

( crash )

Man:
Help!

( footsteps )

( keys jingle )

( lock rattles )

( light switch clicks )

It's over, Jamie.

Come out.

It's over.

Mason.

Ah, coming to touch

greatness again?

No, I came to see the man

who spoke of greatness

but never understood

what that meant.

Let's put an end to this.

I came unarmed.

That was a mistake.

Stop.

( moans )

- It's over.

- Yes.

No.

( screaming )

( coughing, grunting )

God damn it all,

it shouldn't have come to this.

We're in the business of helping

mankind, not killing innocent people.

And you shouldn't even be here.

God damn Macavire

Iuring you out here with some

made-up inheritance story.

Wait, why would he do that?

Because he wanted the antidote

to stop the outbreak

- and he thought you had it.

- What about you

trying to get rid of me

for 75 grand?

I was trying to save you,

to get you away from all this.

Save me?

You and Mason killed my mother.

No, sweetheart,

I came back for you.

It was me that got you

off the island.

Your mother died trying to stop

that lunatic.

She knew that the antidote

was the only thing

that could stop his master plan.

If you do have the antidote, this island

is the last place you should be.

Your mother--

( tires screech )

- ( car honking continuously )

- ( baby crying )

Is that Sarah's car?

( baby crying )

Okay.

Larkin:
You got it?

Jamie:
Yeah. Shh.

( honking stops )

Shh.

Let's get you out of here.

It's okay. Shh.

( screams )

( gagging )

( baby crying )

There should be a gas can

in here somewhere.

What is this place?

We preserve the pearls with salt

and ship them around the world.

Come on.

That's what all these people

are doing on the island.

We've got a ready-built--

Here, fill the engine.

I'll be right back.

Just go do it now. Go.

You don't have to do this.

( screeching )

Wait. Please.

( screams )
