Ada
Ada
Out of where?
Woody
Woody
Off the base.
Ada
Ada
Why? What could be safer than being on an army base?
Woody
Woody
Because that’s where it’s starting.
Ada
Ada
Where what’s starting?
Woody
Woody
Ada, stop arguing and do as I say.
Ada
Ada

Ada
Ada
Too late...I’m out. Now what?
Ada
Ada
I can’t get to the truck without being seen.
Woody
Woody
Now run.
Ada
Ada
Where?
Woody
Woody
Head for the rear of the base
Woody
Woody
and stick to the backyards of the officers’ houses.
Ada
Ada
OK. but daddy, this is freaking me out.
Ada
Ada
Can u pls tell me what’s happening?
Woody
Woody
There was an accident at the lab on the base.
Woody
Woody
Something got out.
Ada
Ada
What got out?
Woody
Woody
Something your mom was working on.
Ada
Ada
Mom’s a secretary.
Woody
Woody
No, baby, she isn’t.
Woody
Woody
She’s a chemist.
Ada
Ada
What was she working on?
Woody
Woody
A weapon.
Woody
Woody
Something the government is calling a “synthetic necro-regeneration virus”
Ada
Ada
What the hell does that mean?
Woody
Woody
Reanimation.
Woody
Woody
Of humans.
Ada
Ada
She made zombies?
Ada
Ada
I don’t believe u... That’s absurd.
Woody
Woody
Sweetheart - I swear its the truth.
Woody
Woody
You have to get out of there before the sun sets.
Ada
Ada
Why is military police surrounding her building?
Woody
Woody
Jesus, tell me you didn’t go there?!
Ada
Ada
OH SHIT!
Ada
Ada
They just shot someone through the window!!
Ada
Ada
Why would they do that?
Woody
Woody
Ada, please, baby, you have to trust me and RUN!
Ada
Ada
I’m not leaving until I know she’s ok.
Woody
Woody
She’s not ok, Ada.
Ada
Ada
OH MY GOD!
Woody
Woody
What happened?
Ada
Ada
I can see her...through her office window upstairs.
Ada
Ada
Daddy, she’s ok.
Woody
Woody
She’s not, Ada. Please believe me.
Woody
Woody
She’s infected.
Woody
Woody
And the sun is setting.
Ada
Ada
Why do you keep talking about the sun?
Woody
Woody
Sunlight neutralizes the virus and makes it go dormant.
Woody
Woody
It was a failsafe designed into the virus…
Woody
Woody
to help us get a foothold if something like this happened.
Woody
Woody
They can’t infect anyone during the day.
Woody
Woody
But as soon as the sun sets…
Ada
Ada
But if there’s a failsafe, why do I have to leave?
Woody
Woody
It’s not the zombies I’m worried about…
Woody
Woody
It’s our response.
Ada
Ada
Huh?
Woody
Woody
Twelve hundred people work in that building. This happened thirty minutes ago.
Woody
Woody
By now they’re all infected. There was no time to prepare for that many.
Ada
Ada
Prepare for what?
Woody
Woody
Containment.
Woody
Woody
Right now, the army's just waiting for it to get dark.
Ada
Ada
What happens when it gets dark?
Woody
Woody
All hell breaks loose.
Ada
Ada
SHIT! They’re shooting again.
Ada
Ada
They’re shooting anything that moves inside.
Woody
Woody
Ada, you have to run.
Woody
Woody
NOW!
Ada
Ada
I can’t.
Woody
Woody
You HAVE to!
Ada
Ada
No, it’s too late...it’s dark and...they’re coming
Woody
Woody
If there are soldiers then there are Humvees.
Woody
Woody
Find one and get inside.
Woody
Woody
NOW!
Woody
Woody
ADA?!
Ada
Ada
I’M IN BUT DADDY THEY ARE ALL OVER!
Ada
Ada
JESUS WHAT DID MOM DO TO THEM? THEY R SO...ANGRY!
Woody
Woody

Ada
Ada
Wait.
Ada
Ada

Ada
Ada
She’s coming this way.
Ada
Ada
OH GOD MOM?!
Woody
Woody
ADA GO NOW!!
Ada
Ada
I want 2 go but they r everywhere!
Woody
Woody
DON’T TEXT. DRIVE!
Woody
Woody
Run them down, baby.
Woody
Woody
Run them down and don’t stop.
Woody
Woody
Not even when you get to the fence.
Woody
Woody
Just drive through it.
Woody
Woody
Anything gets in your way...crush it or shoot it.
Woody
Woody
The glowing green bullets you took from my safe are for THEM.
Woody
Woody
I’m so sorry I’m not there for you
Woody
Woody
but I’ve made arrangements for Sgt. Delaney to get you.
Woody
Woody
Trust him.
Woody
Woody
I’m on a C-17 jet headed straight home and I WILL find you.
Woody
Woody
Ada, are you out?!
Woody
Woody
Did you make it out??
Woody
Woody
ARE YOU OKAY?!
Ada
Ada
I don’t know.
Ada
Ada
I’m out but I rolled the Humvee when I broke through the fence.
Woody
Woody
Shit, are you hurt?
Woody
Woody
Can you get out of there?
Ada
Ada
I’m out but I hurt my leg...bad
Woody
Woody
Stay calm. You only need a little more time.
Ada
Ada
OH GOD DADDY THEY R COMING!
Ada
Ada
I CAN HEAR THEM SCREAMING!
Woody
Woody
Ada please try and get up.
Woody
Woody
Please, for me!
Woody
Woody
Get on your feet!
Ada
Ada
I see headlights...
Ada
Ada
someone’s coming.
Woody
Woody
That should be Sgt. Delaney coming to get you.
Woody
Woody
Be ready to jump in.
Ada
Ada
What if it isn’t him?
Woody
Woody
Then shoot whoever it is and take their vehicle.
Ada
Ada
NO!!
Woody
Woody
Ada, they won’t be able to contain this.
Woody
Woody
You’re going to have to do whatever is necessary to stay alive and uninfected until I find you.
Woody
Woody
Ada?
Ada
Ada
It was Sgt. Delaney.
Ada
Ada
I’m in the back of his pickup.
Ada
Ada
he’s driving away from the base like a madman...
Ada
Ada
but I’m safe daddy.
Woody
Woody
No you’re not.
Woody
Woody
You won’t be safe until you’re far away from Ft. Hood and I’m with you.
Ada
Ada
Is mom really gone?
Woody
Woody
Yes, baby. I’m so sorry.
Ada
Ada
What happened, dad?
Woody
Woody
For the last 6 months, we’ve been developing a new weapon.
Woody
Woody
a biological weapon - more powerful and destructive than nukes…
Woody
Woody
Something no other country has.
Woody
Woody
That’s what you just saw, unleashed into the wild.
Woody
Woody
Except it was unleashed on the wrong country - ours.
Ada
Ada
Who is WE? You mean Mom made that?
Woody
Woody
Yes...for the military.
Woody
Woody
The plan was to create the weapon and use it as a threatening mechanism.
Woody
Woody
A way to scare places like North Korea and Iran without actually causing any harm to anyone.
Woody
Woody
It was never supposed to actually be released. Especially not this early.
Woody
Woody
We are still testing it. Developing a cure. It’s far from ready.
Woody
Woody
But 30 minutes ago that virus somehow got out in our lab.
Ada
Ada
And mom was in there?
Woody
Woody
She called in the breech.
Ada
Ada
Daddy?
Ada
Ada
Why were they coming for me?
Ada
Ada
That man who came to our door…
Ada
Ada
who was he??
Woody
Woody
Not now. I’ll tell you when I see you.
Woody
