Underworld: Awakening Page #2

What happened?

I repeat, well under control.

I repeat, what happened?

Ah, yes, there are reports to be filed.

One of our test subjects

attempted to escape.

We were forced to put it down.

So nothing got out?

Only a stray bullet.

And the test subject?

Flash-burned.

Will that be all?

A few things to attend to.

You could imagine.

Doctor, we received an anonymous call

that something else

escaped through a window.

Detective, our mission at Antigen

is to develop ways of preventing

infection, not releasing it

into the general population.

I lost my son to this disease.

There's no room for error with me

when it comes to the safety of

the public.

If something had escaped,

the authorities would have been notified.

You are an authority, are you not?

Now, if you'll excuse me...

[]

The guy in charge

says it's nothing. Let's go.

Yeah, and he's full of sh*t.

Look at this.

Want me to report it, sir?

No. I'll do it.

I don't mind.

I can do it for you.

All right, sir.

[GRUNTING]

The prisoner that helped me escape,

the one you called Subject 2,

was it a hybrid?

Yes.

What were you doing with us?

We...

We help the government

identify the infected.

We were using your DNA

to try to find a cure

to prevent another outbreak.

You were told that I would

lead you to the hybrid. Why?

Subject 2 is restricted information.

I don't have the clearance.

You're lying.

No! Aah!

No, please!

All I know is

there's a connection between you.

Your brain waves

fall into sync when you're close

to each other.

You can see through each other's eyes!

Please don't!

I'm the one who let you go!

Now we're even.

COP 1:

What the hell was that?

COP 2:

Creepy is what

I'm calling it in.

Let's go.

[GROWLING]

[]

Sh*t.

Don't.

Why not?

We're the same.

Why are you following me?

We monitor the police frequencies.

Well?

Do you know what attacked

that human under the bridge?

No.

[LYCANS GROWLING]

Lycans.

What remains of them, yes.

They've been hiding down here like rats

since the Purge.

Diseased and starving, they rarely

show themselves above ground.

Which means that something

has got them riled up.

Something you're not telling me.

[GROWLING IN DISTANCE]

[]

Michael!

[GUNSHOTS]

Do you know her?

No.

[GROWLING IN DISTANCE]

They will come back in numbers.

We can't leave her here.

[]

Come on.

DAVID:

Let's try the van.

Get in. Move! Move!

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GROWLING]

DAVID:

Three of them behind us.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

DAVID:

Go!

[EVE SCREAMS]

DAVID:

Hurry, Selene!

They're getting in the back!

[DAVID YELLING]

F***ing piece of sh*t!

[EVE GRUNTING AND SCREAMING]

The girl! They're taking her!

[EVE SCREAMS]

[ROARS]

[SNARLING]

You drive.

[POLICE SIRENS WAILING

[]

She's not healing.

We have a doctor

that can help her at our coven.

EVE:

How did you

find me?

What's your name?

Subject 2.

And you are Subject 1.

I freed you.

Do you not know who I am?

They told me that I had no mother,

that she died when I was born.

I never believed it. I...

I felt you.

Saw images through your eyes.

But then someone outside my door,

they said since I was no longer

a child, the wait was over,

that I'd be dead soon.

And that my own mother, right next door,

would never even know I'd existed.

What did they tell you of your father?

They must have told you something.

Do you see images through him?

No.

Only you.

EVE:

No, please!

[GROWLS]

LIDA:
She's never stepped

foot outside the lab.

How can she possibly survive?

I understand the risk of reporting

her escape to the authorities.

No record of her birth.

Questions will be asked.

I'm well aware of that.

But if she dies,

all our years of research...

Rather than tell me how to do my job,

why not take a look at your

own professional conduct?

And how your continual need

to endow this creature

with human traits has led to the

laxness of its security protocols.

It's not a human being, Lida!

It's not your child.

It's not to be coddled.

It's a blight of nature.

Stop worrying.

It'll come back to us.

[DAVID GRUNTS]

Get Olivia at once.

THOMAS [IN RUSSIAN]:

Again you break my rules. Why?

DAVID [IN RUSSIAN]:

She was attacked.

She is not healing.

And for this you compromise our safety?

SELENE [IN RUSSIAN]:

You have

no reason to fear us.

enough to take you at your word?

No reason

to fear a Death Dealer

who fell in love with a Lycan,

who murdered two of our elders,

and who, at every turn, has betrayed

her own kind.

Do you know who this is?

But it was we who betrayed her, Father.

Let her through.

She's not healing.

[GRUNTS]

She was attacked by a lower Lycan.

Two hours ago.

OLIVIA:

Her cell repair is

active but weakened.

She has no

origin bite marks

Or scars.

I've never seen a child like this before.

When did you last feed?

Feed?

Give her blood.

OLIVIA:

Child,

you must.

Slowly.

Slowly.

There.

There, now.

She's healing.

And quickly.

DAVID:
Good.

Take her to my room.

She needs to rest.

No.

Look at the eyes.

OLIVIA:

I never believed it.

They do exist.

This is not one of us.

No, it's something more, Father.

What do you know of her?

at a place called Antigen.

One of the other prisoners freed me.

I believed it was Michael Corvin,

the only hybrid

I knew existed at that time.

Yes, yes, your Lycan lover, long dead.

What is this, then?

None of your concern.

As soon as she regains

her strength, I will leave with her.

[]

DAVID:

I used to hear stories

of the Death Dealers.

That they were a thing of the past,

never to return.

I'm glad they were wrong.

You knew who I am...

and yet you still brought me here.

Thank you.

You're a fighter.

We could use more like you to teach us.

I'm not sure

your father would agree.

There was a time when he would have.

That's why he dislikes you so much.

I think it reminds him of the days

when he defended us with fire and steel

rather than hollow words.

He knows how much we need you.

I'm not a leader.

But you fight for what you believe in.

You always have.

I don't know

what I believe in anymore.

I don't recognize this world.

But you haven't changed.

I saw it in your eyes

when you looked at the child.

You will protect her.

It's in your blood.

It's who you are.

When you leave, take me with you.

[]

You distrust me.

Of course you do.

I made you feel unwelcome.

And for that, I'm sorry.

Ah.

Those eyes,

they're special.

I know exactly what you are.

DAVID:

My father says that,

should we survive as a species,

these relics will help

our descendants know

who we were and how we lived.

And what do you say?

That if we continue to live as we do now,

then we disgrace the past

and don't deserve a future.

We must resist the humans

wherever and whenever possible.

THOMAS:

Between the first and second Purges,

Lycan youth rallied in the same way
