Zombie Shark Page #6

---

Is that--

We got you a gift, doctor.

I can't believe you managed

to get one.

Just tell us it was worth it.

That's what were are going

to find out.

Careful, it bites.

Incredible.

The regen agent worked.

Yeah, really well.

You must be Amber Steel.

I'm Dr. Diane Palmer

from the radio.

I... I'm so sorry.

For all of this.

Well, let's just figure out

a way to fix it.

Bruce escaped before we

had a chance to study

his condition.

It appears as though once

the virus takes hold,

the host is reanimated

by an electrical response

in the nervous system.

Like when you take a dead frog

and attach it to a battery

and it twitches.

The dead tissue

is rebuilt to some extent.

But based on your descriptions,

the reanimated have

no thought processes

besides the simple instincts to

move, eat and make more

of its own.

It's not much different

than a regular shark, really.

No, Bruce is different.

He's smarter than the others.

He seems to be planning.

Well, he is the alpha.

He's the only one that

was directly injected.

But without him here to study

there's really no way to know

why Bruce reacted

to the regen agent

the way he did.

Have you found

a cure yet?

That's what we are

about to test.

Where's Roger?

I've been able to develop

a rudimentary vaccine

against the initial serum.

Once injected

into the bloodstream

of a healthy subject,

it should be able to neutralize

the effects of the serum before

the infection ever takes root.

Though we do have a lot

of tests to run.

This may be our only opportunity

to gather data

without running the risk

of creating another Bruce.

Could you secure the patient?

A shark's brain is smaller

than a human's.

It's much more difficult

to find.

Got to get in there

and penetrate without...

damaging it.

There!

Did it work?

No.

So, what does that mean?

It means that it only works

on the living.

The infected are already

too far gone.

But there's got to be a way.

What about those people

that got bit on the island?

You're saying there's no hope

for them?

I'm sorry.

If we had more time, but...

No, this much will have to do.

Cage:
She's right.

We've got to stop the virus

before it gets off the island.

That's our priority.

We must stick to the plan.

Activate the beacon, bring in

the sharks

and blow this place

to hell and back,

( screaming )

( screams )

( whirring )

Here goes nothing.

( sighs )

It's on.

Way to go, Roger.

( pants )

Stay down!

Look!

They're... they're leaving!

Hey, they're leaving!

( laughing )

And don't come back!

Wait...

Where are you all going?

Oh, man! They're going

to the facility!

C-4's been planted.

Ready to go.

Ahm...

Sergeant--

Call me Max.

Max.

I never got a chance

to thank you for everything

you've done for Sophie and me.

I just...

If anything goes wrong,

could you just...

make sure Sophie gets home okay?

You have my word.

But I'm not planning on letting

anything happen to you either.

Sophie:
What is that?

It's my brother, Ethan.

He was a lot like

Sergeant Cage.

Always the first one

into the hot zone.

He was very brave.

And he loved this country.

He died for this country.

He died on foreign soil

of a wound that was

easily treatable.

His unit was too far away

from the hospital

and first aid

wasn't adequate.

And...

He died and there wasn't

anything I could do about it.

( sighs )

I decided then that I was never

gonna be that helpless again.

That's why I developed

the regen agent.

To give soldiers like Ethan

more endurance

and better healing capabilities,

you know?

To give them another chance.

But I... never thought this...

I can make it right.

I will make it right.

It's working.

They're coming.

Oh, they're inside.

- Inside?

- Yeah.

There's a pool down below that

has a gate that leads out

to the ocean.

Yeah, that's how we bring

the sharks in.

That's how Bruce got out

after he killed almost all

of my team.

Let's go. Come on.

Wait!

The vaccine's still inside.

If this doesn't work

that vaccination

is the last hope any of us have.

I'll be right back.

I'm coming with you!

Sophie, wait!

Get to the shore!

Let her go.

I don't know if you noticed,

but your sister is

kind of a badass.

Yeah, she is.

Okay.

Where is it?

Got it.

( screams )

Take it!

- But...

- I'm bit.

Just go!

Go!

I'm sorry.

Go!

I need to blow it

before they get out.

Sophie! Sophie, hurry!

Do it!

Max:
Three...

two... one!

Sophie!

Sophie...

It wasn't supposed to be you!

Amber, it's Bruce.

He must...

He must have let the others go

in first to test it out.

I told you he was smart.

Amber!

Come on! Come on!

Amber, stop it!

Come on, if you want me,

come on!

Come on! Come on!

Amber, stop!

Amber, get out of the way!

I got a shot!

( panting )

Amber, move!

( cries )

Max:
Watch out!

( screaming )

Amber!

Don't miss!

( panting )

Is he dead?

He better be.

Sophie?

Sorry about Sophie.

( moaning )

Sophie? Sophie!

Sophie!

Give me something

to cut her out!

( moaning )

( Amber grunts )

( Amber pants )

Sophie! Sophie!

( gasping )

Lester:
Sophie?

Amber!

( Sophie grunts )

Let's go.

( Amber cries )

What's that?

Is the vaccine that's

going to save humankind.

I need to get it into

the right hands as soon

as possible.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

It's over.

The coast guard should

be here soon.
