Zombie Shark Page #5

---

Island, can you hear me? Over.

Hello, we're trying to

reach the coastguard,

can you hear me? Over.

It's the storm,

even if you do get a signal

out there, there's no way

they're gonna send a boat.

We're just gonna have to

batten down and ride it out.

Lester, are you OK?

What did you do to those sharks?

I'm not at the liberty

to talk about it.

No matter how much I want to.

You better start talking.

Right now.

Lester, put the gun down.

Not until

we get some answers.

Look, do you even know how

to use that thing?

Of course I do.

I'm an apex predator.

I'm a heartbreaker!

I'm a widow-maker!

I just, just lost a friend.

Listen, man, I'm no scientist.

I was just brought

on for personal security.

I do know the base

was closed down

a long time ago

and recently reopened.

A Dr. Diane Palmer was put

in charge of a special project

that was contracted

by the government.

A special killer

zombie shark project?

No, that was an accident.

Dr. Palmer was

trying to develop a way

of regenerating dead tissue.

Organs, for soldiers

in the battlefield.

Sharks were used as test

subjects because their basic

internal structure is almost

identical to human beings.

They're good analogs.

They picked this island

because of the shark traffic.

But something went wrong

with one of our sharks Bruce.

He got out, he killed several of

the researchers and he escaped.

Bruce, he is the one

with the harpoon on his back?

The ringleader?

Palmer put a beacon out in the

water that sent out a pulse that

somehow it triggered

the electroreceptors

in sharks and attracted them.

Cage:
That's how we brought them

in for capture and study.

So can we use that to

capture it? to kill it?

It was damaged in the firefight

when Bruce escaped.

We have our tech Roger

working on in but until

he gets it fixed, Bruce

is off his leash.

And apparently he's

making more like him.

Although they're not

as smart as him it seems.

- They're more like.

- Zombies.

For a lack of a

better word, yeah.

He is a carrier

of some kind of plague.

Whatever he bites, it turns.

Wait, whatever he bites?

Like people too?

( growls )

I said I've had about enough

of you!

Come on, get out of here! go!

Shoo!

- Freak.

- Who was that guy?

Some idiot that

I need to get rid of.

He always wants something free.

Gives me the creeps.

No!

Sophie:
How do we kill it?

Clear!

What? In all the zombie movies

do you have to ask?

Palmer's regen agent,

it's activated by the nervous

system you can cut off a limb,

but it still moves.

Like the shark we

found on the beach.

Makes sense

to take out the source.

Aim for the brain.

So what now?

We destroy the infected and

keep the virus from spreading.

That may not be enough,

we need to find a cure.

Dr. Palmer is our only hope.

We need to get back

to her right now.

But if the islanders

are turning into zombies too,

how are we gonna do that?

We need an army to fight

all of them.

Leave it to me.

You get to the facility,

I'll rally the troops,

we'll hold the infected

off here.

Let's go.

Yeah, it's me.

It's time to awaken

the dogs of war.

I mean get your weapons

and meet me over at the shop,

Danny.

No, I don't have any gas money!

I just gave you money!

( sighs )

Oh, damn.

Wasn't supposed to be like this.

Roger:
Doctor!

I think I got

the beacon working.

That's the first good

news I've had all day.

With it we can lure Bruce

and the other infected sharks

back to the facility

for containment

and immediate

extermination.

And after we do that,

we're gonna start over

again, right?

I don't know.

I don't know if I have

the stomach for this anymore.

This was supposed about saving

lives, not destroying them.

I'm just more

concerned right now

with trying to

clean up our mess.

My mess.

Diane, I need you

to listen to me.

You cannot

give up on this work.

We are virtually

on the edge of giving

the world something

truly phenomenal.

We are about to cure

physical disabilities forever.

And if you give up now,

you're gonna be giving up

on every single

person on this Earth.

Yes, we've had a pretty

significant setback.

But we can do this.

Roger!

( screaming )

( gasping )

Lester:

OK, here's the score.

We have a bit of a zombie shark

problem on the island.

- What?

- Huh?

Yeah, zombie shark.

They bite you,

you turn into a zombie.

Let this sink in a minute.

Anyway, what we

do here on this beach...

could shape all human history.

This island has been

ignored for too long.

But we will show the world that

we are made of stronger stuff.

- Yeah?

- Yeah!

So get everything ready.

Because what we

do on this beach today

will bridge the gap

between all humanity.

- Are you ready?

- Yeah!

OK, here they come.

Whatever you do,

don't let them bite you.

Let them remember the time that

they came to Red Plum Island.

- Come on!

- Yeah!

Yeah! Let's get them!

( growling )

Cage:
Dr. Palmer, you read me?

Over.

Sergeant, you're alive!

Yeah, for now.

We got a development, all

the shark's bite victims

are turning into zombies.

Roger's fixed the beacon,

if we can activate it

we can bring them all

right back to this facility.

If we can get them

all in one place.

Then we can kill

them all at once.

I've got enough C-4 to do

the job. We're coming to you.

Wait!

Wait, I've been

working on a vaccine

for the virus,

but in order to finalize it.

I need to test it on

one of the infected.

I need an infected brain.

Intact.

Doctor, I don't

think that that's

a good idea you haven't seen

what this things can do,

they don't exactly stay still

for you.

One of them does.

Oh!

Come on! come on!

I'm ready for you!

Come on! We'll have

a fish sandwich.

Oh! He's strong!

Wait, okay, I got him, yeah!

Yeah!

( shouting )

Hey! Hey!

Watch out, watch out!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Oh, my God he took

his arm away! I'm sorry!

( screams )

No, no, no, wait,

it was right here.

Fan out, we got to

find this thing.

Amber:

Sophie, don't get too far!

Relax, warden.

Guys, I found it!

Amber:
Soph, where are you?

Sophie:
I'm on the other

side of the grass.

( grunting )

Okay, get back!

Get back!

How are we going to carry it

to the facility?

Get that coat.

Ew!

Stay back!

Okay!

We need to get to Palmer.

Hold on.

What is it?

Hold this.

Careful.

Something's not right.

I don't see anything.

Things are too quiet.

Feels like we're walking

into an ambush.

What, do you think they're

hiding? Are they smart

enough for that?

I don't know. Bruce could be.

They're here!

Here!

Watch out!

Argh! Argh!

( gasps )

- Argh!

- Hold on, you'll be OK.

( zombie grunts )

I got it!

( zombie grunts )

Let's go! Get the guns!

Let's go!

Come on!

Sergeant Cage!

He was stabbed.

Thank God he wasn't bitten!

( Max grunts )

It looks like it missed

any major arteries.

I can stitch these up for you.

Not right now,

we don't have the time.

Sophie! Can you help me out.
