The Lazarus Effect Page #5

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

There's always a consequence

for breaking the rules.

- What happened?

- They took everything.

You have to admit

it's quite the coincidence.

You show up out of nowhere,

videotape everything, and then poof,

they take it all,

including our backup data.

Hang on. We made her keep all the

footage in the lab. It's not her fault.

We lost everything.

Four years of our lives,

our reputations, everything.

If it's not her, then please tell me,

what the hell happened?

If they wanted the serum,

why didn't they just hire us?

I mean, let's imagine for a second

that you're Crylonis, OK?

And you find out

about the Lazarus serum.

You realize this thing is a gold mine,

and you also realize

that Werner-Goss sponsored it.

So you buy Werner-Goss,

that's the first thing right there.

Then you realize all is takes is

one anonymous call to the Review Board,

and all of a sudden

you own everything in that lab.

You have the legal rights.

Suddenly, you're not

splitting the profits anymore.

All that money is yours.

Come on.

They're not gonna spend $50 million

just to get our serum, right?

We're gonna duplicate the experiment.

It's the only way.

- You're joking, right?

- What, we're gonna walk away now?

We have no proof. No one's ever

gonna believe that it was us.

We're never gonna have

another chance at this, OK?

Look, they're not gonna start

cleaning the lab till tomorrow, right?

That gives us at least,

what, like 12 hours?

We break in there,

we duplicate the experiment.

You film it,

and we take back what's ours.

Duplicate it how?

I mean, they took all the serum.

We figured, just in case.

The lab is on a time lock,

there is only one security guard,

we know exactly what his route is.

This is absolutely doable.

And how are we supposed to get in?

They took our key cards.

Not all of them.

Working late?

Dr. Jackson wants me to take him in

for overnight observation.

Just the way I wanted

to spend my Friday night.

- You know where you're going?

- Sure do.

Look, if you get caught here,

you're gonna get expelled, or worse,

so no one's gonna blame you

if you wanna take off now.

I know.

- How's it looking?

- On a scale of one to shitty,

their security system is shitty.

Great. Can we just loop that?

- Loop it?

- Yeah, like they do on TV.

Or I could just stop it from recording.

It's not like he's gonna notice.

That works.

- "You're amazing, Niko."

- You're amazing, Niko.

Thank you, Zoe.

Dog.

All right, Eva, you rolling?

- Yeah, rolling.

- OK, Clay, how we doing?

Cells appear healthy.

- Full diffusion in 30.

- OK. I need 45cc's Trimexialin.

- Niko, how you doing?

- Uh, neural overlay synced.
