[DJ on radio] Today, the State Department announced the arrival of members
of the provisional government of Penamstan at Dulles International Airport.
They are scheduled to meet with the US Government
to discuss future support for their country. After that…
[eerie music]
[engine rumbles]
[tires screech]
President Graham has announced that he'll be attending the ceremony,
-to deliver a speech advocating peace. -[engine whirs off]
[car door opens, closes]
[eerie music continues]
[wood creaking]
[insect buzzing]
[ominous music]
[objects clanging]
[Leon] Jason?
-Hey, Jason. -[gasps, panting]
You wanna talk about it?
[theme music]
[siren wails in distance]
-[loud thud] -[Claire exhales]
[keyboard clacking]
[Claire] As a result of the civil war that broke out in 2000,
Penamstan was more or less reduced to a state of anarchy.
Before the UN could pass a resolution, the US deployed troops to the country.
Penamstan militia resisted what they thought was an invasion.
[man 1] What we're doing to Penamstan violates international law.
I mean, what's the point of the UN field survey?
When the UN Security Council
can't implement effective measures promptly,
military intervention is sanctioned for humanitarian purposes.
[man 1] "Humanitarian"? Anyone in the world who can read a map
knows exactly what the US is after.
This isn't humanitarian aid.
They're trying to gain a foothold into China.
[man 2] China has nothing to do with this.
Look, if Penamstan wants to get out from under their civil war
and make the transition to a democracy,
they're gonna need a military force backing them up.
But the provisional government already started that process, remember?
[man 1] It's obvious we're picking a fight with them
to trigger a new war. If the US Government…
[Claire] "A battle of futility."
"Withdrawal leaves path of destruction."
[key clacks]
"Hero of Penamstan."
[mysterious music]
[footsteps]
"Major General Wilson greets the Mad Dogs unit
on their return from their mission in Penamstan."
[clacking]
[hums in wonder]
[mysterious music continues]
[photos rustling]
[Claire exhales]
All suicides…
[hums in wonder]
The only survivors are Jason and one other person.
[Claire sighs]
[helicopter whirring]
[operator] Command to Mad Dogs, stand down and return to formation!
[guns firing]
-[MD 1] Clear! -[Jason] Go!
-[guns firing] -[blood splatters]
-[MD 2] Clear! -[MD 3] Bastards took our guys!
[focused breathing]
-[men grunting] -[helicopter whirring]
-Fuck. -[Jason] There's one here.
[men grunting]
US Army Mad Dogs, can you move?
Oh, shit.
-[tires screech] -[man grunting]
Okay. He's still alive.
-[loud explosion] -[men groaning]
[grunting]
[guns firing]
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
[gun reloading]
Okay. We got this guy. Cover us until we get to that building.
Go!
[tense music]
-[gun firing] -[grunting]
-[grenade clangs] -[man grunts]
[loud explosion]
-[loud explosions in distance] -[fire crackles]
[MD 4] Command. This is Mad Dogs. We need evac for seven.
We got one survivor, and he's torn to shit.
Hostiles inbound. Get us out of here.
[comms beeping]
Fuck!
[groaning in pain]
[MD 5] Let's light these bitches up and get the fuck outta here.
[MD 6] Sure. We're just gonna walk back to base through that shit.
You fucking high?
All right. Goggles.
[eerie music]
[man grunts]
[MD 1] Jesus Christ.
-What the fuck were those things, man? -[MD 2] How the fuck should I know?
We need to get our asses back to base and report this.
We can't go back to base. It's not safe.
Bullshit. They need to know what's going on out here.
The fuck's wrong with him? Why ain't he dead?
-We saw something we shouldn't have. -[MD 3] We need to tell someone.
People need to know what happened back there.
Tell them what? Who'd believe us?
His unit must have been on a top-secret mission.
That's why they had to blast the site.
[MD 3] They were dead.
Those militia motherfuckers dragged 'em out and killed 'em all.
And they turned into that.
Either way, we need to tell somebody about it.
Command dropped MK77s on the town.
They wanted to burn everything, including us.
-If we talk, we're dead. -[cloth rustles]
-Shit. -[guns clinking]
Hold your fire!
Who are you?
Warrant Officer Fifth Class, Shen May, sir.
[Jason] What are you doing here?
I was going over your last transmissions and…
[strange snarling]
[flesh squelching]
[strange snarling continues]
[eerie music]
-[clicks] -[Shen May sighs]
[Shen May] Jun See.
[submarine whooshes]
[water burbling]
[crew 1] We're entering Chinese waters, Captain.
No trackers detected.
[Captain] Good. Keep her steady.
[strange squeaking]
[ominous music]
Have a seat.
Looked like you were having a nightmare.
They call me the hero of Penamstan.
Some fucking hero.
[exasperated sigh]
[deep inhale]
Every night, I have the same nightmare.
About Penamstan.
That day.
[troubled breathing]
[Jason] Penamstan.
That was hell.
Yeah.
I bet.
You have no idea.
Look. I can't imagine what it was like for you.
But I have been through some shit myself.
Raccoon City.
They sterilized that place.
[dramatic music]
-You were there? -Yeah.
[sighs]
I was just a rookie cop late as hell on his first day.
That's why I'm still alive.
[Leon] There were zombies everywhere.
I remember… people screaming.
Moaning.
They'd get bit, and then they'd turn.
It was terrifying.
[dramatic music continues]
There's no way to describe it except…
Hell.
Yeah.
The government wiped the city off the map and covered it all up.
Sure. They didn't want it to spread.
You destroy a city to save the country.
That's a tough call, but someone's gotta make it.
There were people alive in there. There were families alive in there.
And they didn't even try to get them out. So, tough call my ass!
Look, I get it. You were a cop.
[Jason] It was your job to protect those people
and you want justice for them.
But agents like us, we don't get to think that way anymore.
It's a new world and we just gotta roll with it.
You cannot save a country,
if you don't give a damn about the people in it.
[scoffs]
Before, you said "terrifying".
[Jason] Do you know where the root of terror comes from?
I don't follow.
It starts with fear.
[Jason] Yeah.
Humans.
Humans fear the unknown.
And there is nothing more unknowable than us.
As a species…
oh, we're unpredictable. We're cruel.
Especially when we're trying to survive.
[grunts]
Yeah. The Greeks said it best.
"There is much to fear in this world…
but nothing more so than humans."
-[loud clonk] -[both groaning]
What the fuck was that?
[rapid breathing]
[machine beeping]
[Leon] Hey. You all right?
[flesh squelches]
[grim music]
Shit.
[grim music continues]
[Jason] Hey. We're in a pressurized tube underwater. Remember?
[swishes]
[tense music]
-[flesh squelching] -[munching]
I can't get the engine room on the horn. What's going on?
The sub might be infected by an unknown virus.
We need to isolate it. Shut all the doors.
-But the air will still-- -It's a temporary measure.
-Hurry up and shut the door. -[crew 2] Prepare for lockdown.
-[crew 3] Which compartment's infected? -Near the bow.
-Lock it down. -[door clangs]
[grunts]
[crew 2] Hatch secure.
-[flesh rips] -[man groans]
-[blood spills] -[groans]
-[knife whooshes, pierces] -[man choking]
[eerie music]
[strange scratching]
-[disturbing humming] -[metal clanking]
[Leon exhales]
[grim music]
[flesh crunching]
[flesh crunching intensifies]
-[blood splatters] -Jesus.
[rat snarls]
-[sniffing, screeches] -[Leon] You gotta be shitting me.
[aggressive grunt]
-[hard smash] -[metal clanging]
[fire extinguisher clangs]
It's a bioweapon.
-[flesh squelching] -[munching]
-[emergency alarm wails] -[PA system] Code 13 has been activated.
This submarine will self-destruct in five minutes.
All crew, board the ASDS2 and evacuate.
Commencing countdown. Five minutes to self-destruct.
Wish I had some cheese.
[rats squeaking]
-[button clicks] -[steam hisses]
[Leon grunts]
[nervous breathing]
[tense music]
[object thuds]
[tense music continues]
[Leon] This just keeps getting better.
[rat squeaks]
[PA system] Three minutes, thirty seconds until self-destruct.
-[Leon grunts] -[rat screeches]
[glass shatters]
-[rat growls] -[metal clangs]
-[Leon grunts] -[water gushes]
[ax whooshes, clangs]
[electricity zapping]
-[spark hisses] -[rats groaning]
[tense music]
[Leon] Goddamn it.
[PA system] Sixty seconds until self-destruct.
-59, 58, 57, 56… -[Leon grunting]
Fifty-five…
-[door opens] -[gun clinks]
Fifty-three…
I'm not a rat.
Fifty-one…
[Leon] You wanna get that out of my face?
You'll kill us all.
Am I interrupting something here?
[loud explosion]
[whooshes]
[Wilson] We received their SOS an hour ago.
We haven't picked up any signal on the radar since then.
It's vanished.
Also, we spotted a Chinese fleet near their last ping.
[Ryan sighs]
That's the last thing we needed.
I'm going to raise the DEFCON level.
-[Ryan exhales] -[phone beeps]
It's me. Headed to the Situation Room now.
-[man from TV speaking] -[horns honking]
[women screaming]
This is it.
Secure.
[knife swishes]
[ripping]
[tape ripping]
-[thuds] -[paper crinkling]
[bullets clang]
-[gun reloading] -[Shen May sighs]
[gun clicking]
[metal clanging]
-[Jason sighs] -[heavy footsteps]
[Leon] All right, we made it to shore. You wanna brief us?
You can start by telling me what you're really after.
I mean, you killed the crew.
Must be a major op, right?
If you're not gonna break into the facility, what are you here for?
Shen May and I are on a different mission.
We're looking for something else.
[Leon] What?
Proof that will expose a conspiracy by the US Government.
[scoffs] Treason. Fun.
I'll be sure to put that in my report.
[tense music]
[Jason scoffs]
[Jason] It won't do you any good.
They'll just cover it up, like they always do.
And you know how good they are at covering things up.
They're the bad guys here.
Where's your proof?
[Jason] That's what we're here for.
And you're going to help us get it.
You want my help?
You just killed a sub full of people.
[tense music continues]
[tensed inhale]
[Jason] Remember when I told you about terror?
It starts with fear.
You cultivate it, and you watch it spread, and then…
then you've got terror.
[scoffs]
You can tell them all about it at your court-martial.
So you're not gonna help us, then?
[exhales]
Nope.
[sniffs]
[sharp exhale]
-[grunts] -[gun fires]
-[Shen May grunts] -[gun fires]
-[door opens] -[groans]
[grim music]
[Leon] Dammit.
