The Lazarus Effect Page #2

Synopsis: THE LAZARUS EFFECT follows a group of researchers led by Frank and his fiancé Zoe who've achieved the unimaginable - bringing the dead back to life. After a successful, yet unsanctioned, trial on a newly deceased animal, the team is ready to unveil their breakthrough to the world. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is unexpectedly shut down and their materials confiscated. Frank, Zoe and their team take matters into their own hands, launching a rogue attempt to recreate their experiment, during which things go terribly wrong and one of their own, Zoe, is horrifically killed. Fueled by terror and grief, Frank pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test subject. Initially, the procedure appears a success, but the team soon realizes something is wrong with Zoe. As her strange new persona reveals itself, the team quickly becomes stuck in a gruesome reality. They are no longer faced with the question of

- What's up?

- His cataracts are gone.

- What are you talking about?

He has mature stage five cataracts

in both eyes.

- Yes, I know. Look.

- Hm.

- Could it be the serum?

- Or... we just cured blindness.

Look, guys, it brings up a good point.

I don't want anybody

talking about anything

until we know exactly what we have here.

Understood?

- Clay?

- Bible.

We're gonna take Rocky home with us

and we'll look after him.

- If that's OK.

- Sure.

Hey!

Um, Eva, put the camera down.

Put it down.

I really don't want this to be filmed.

All right.

Cheers.

Here you go.

He has no interest.

- What's his name again?

- Rocky.

- Rocky.

- The ultimate underdog.

Back from the dead, Rocky.

It's not just me, right?

He's a little weird.

Yeah, I think he's in shock right now,

you know?

It's gonna take him a few days to

sort of re-stitch those neural pathways,

and he'll be good to go.

Yeah.

You don't... You don't seem convinced.

What's going on?

I don't know. I mean...

what if we ripped him

out of doggie heaven or something?

You know what I mean. What if...

We don't know if he wanted to come back.

We just took him.

What is it with you?

I get two glasses of red wine in you

and the Catholic girl comes out and...

I'm just saying,

if we're gonna be asking big questions,

we have to be ready for the answers.

Come here. Come here.

Look...

I know this is... strange, you know?

And what we're doing here could be...

considered questionable.

Yeah.

But we're gonna help

a lot of people with this work.

It's gonna be worth it, OK?

OK.

Rocky! Get the ball.

Hey, guys, do you think he remembers?

Dying?

Mm... Dogs don't have memories, so, no.

- Dogs definitely have memories.

- Dogs form associations.

Leash means walk. Keys mean car ride.

It's not the same thing, bro.

That's what a memory is, man.

It's like... No, we're settling this.

- Settle it. Let's look it up, b*tch.

- I don't wanna hear your sh*t.

OK. I'm cool with that.

Hey, Rocky, what do you think?

Did you see a big white light? Huh?

You know, that part's actually true.

- You know what the pineal gland is?

- No.

It produces DMT, which is

the base compound for our serum.

Basically, nobody knows why,

but the moment you die,

right then, your brain just floods your

system with this massive blast of DMT,

which is the most potent psychedelic

on the planet.

And when you think you're seeing

the light at the end of the tunnel,

or the blessed Virgin Mary, um...

- Did I do that the wrong way?

- Mm-mm.

Anyway, it's just a big trip that

you're having, really, it's all it is.

- I disagree. I do.

- Oh, you disagree, really?

- We've had this discussion before.
