A Division of TIME WARNER
ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P.

3
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:25,080
Mmm...

4
00:00:50,279 --> 00:00:52,279
Carnivals celebrate the fringe element.

5
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Freaks and carnies on center stage
are a crucible for the masses.

6
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,879
Hard and fast, like an illicit affair.

7
00:00:59,959 --> 00:01:01,879
( sneezes )

8
00:01:01,959 --> 00:01:03,399
( all gasping )

9
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,519
Relax, just an allergy.

10
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,480
( woman )
Damn!

11
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,519
Sneezing's this week's signal.

12
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,759
BC storm troopers be barging
in any minute.

13
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,879
All sound and fury.

14
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,759
Complete nonsense, but a decent act.

15
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:27,080
I guess it's better to be safe...

16
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:28,640
than sorry.

17
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,319
The last time the carnival came to town

18
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:35,879
my curves were just mounds
and pointy angles.

19
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,399
The corporation engineered a crisis.

20
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,319
And the calliope wailed a funeral dirge.

21
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:46,239

Alternaceuticals,

22
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,679
a medical research company
in search of cures

23
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:50,840
for an imperfect society.

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Our focus is the source of disease.

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,399
And our goal is to
eliminate the bad elements

26
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080
and reach a final solution.

27
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:05,480
( alarm beeping )

28
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320
Oh, my god!

29
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:10,600
( PA system ) Your attention,
a possible viral outbreak

30
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:12,439
has been detected in this area.

31
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,920
Come one, come all!

32
00:02:15,999 --> 00:02:18,600
This is a modern mutant menagerie!

33
00:02:18,679 --> 00:02:22,360
The greatest collection
of the strange and ugly,

34
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,800
the deformed and the demented!

35
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,640
The most abnormal and alien creatures
you've ever seen.

36
00:02:31,559 --> 00:02:35,360
The sensational Sartori Sisters!

37
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:38,880
Siamese twins with a double dose
of sex appeal.

38
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,200
Don't miss Danny, the boneless boy.

39
00:02:42,279 --> 00:02:47,439
The most amazing mass of mutant muscle
in the known megaverse.

40
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:50,760
And your fine feathered friend,

41
00:02:50,839 --> 00:02:53,480
Stuck, the duck boy!

42
00:02:54,399 --> 00:02:57,119
And now my friends...
have you ever wondered

43
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,360
what a really big duck eats for dinner?

44
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,279
Watch this.

45
00:03:09,839 --> 00:03:11,239
Delicious.

46
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,679
I just love seafood, don't you?

47
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,160
( loud burp )

48
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:17,600
Great show tonight, Stuck.

49
00:03:17,679 --> 00:03:19,999
The octopussy routine knocked 'em dead

50
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,920
and apparently got you a date.

51
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Yeah, what's the occasion?

52
00:03:24,839 --> 00:03:27,640
I'm just sick of this dog and pony show.

53
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:31,119
Spent the last six months
in small dumps.

54
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,920
Now that we hit the big city,
I'm going out on the town.

55
00:03:34,999 --> 00:03:36,399
You deserve it, handsome.

56
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,360
Get yourself a steak, a martini,
and shake it.

57
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:42,200
Make sure you check out the roost!

58
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,559

pharmacology and biomedical security.

59
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,679

60
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,439
Alternaceuticals...

61
00:04:05,999 --> 00:04:08,920
Keeping the books and performing
three sets a night,

62
00:04:08,999 --> 00:04:10,640
They don't pay me enough.

63
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,160
( computer )
Hand print scan, please.

64
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,199
Ow!

65
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:24,160
( gasping )

66
00:04:24,239 --> 00:04:25,639
Hello, Raven.

67
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,480
I'm Bird.

68
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:29,239
And you may need my help.

69
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,319
Really? You must have telepathy,

70
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,439
'cause I just hurt my hand.

71
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,920
You're bleeding.
Here, let me take a look.

72
00:04:40,999 --> 00:04:43,999
I'm fine. I just want a--

73
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,520
Smoke. And a light.

74
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Thanks for the help.

75
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,119
Typical. Another man assuming
every woman's a damsel in distress.

76
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,160
( computer )
Carnival and nightclub are rigged.

77
00:05:09,239 --> 00:05:11,119
( man )
Excellent.

78
00:05:21,119 --> 00:05:24,079
The nuclei remains stable,
but the mechanical chromosomes

79
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,360
Seem be breaking down during mitosis.

80
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:30,119
Damnit! The metaphase has been corrupted
by chloroform poisoning.

81
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,639
I can't calculate the strength
of the invasion

82
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,840
but the mutations look terminal.

83
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,360
Damnit, that son-of-a-bitch!

84
00:06:01,559 --> 00:06:04,759


85
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,360


86
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,679


87
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,199


88
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,040


89
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,480


90
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,559


91
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,040


92
00:06:34,119 --> 00:06:36,480


93
00:06:36,559 --> 00:06:40,280


94
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,840


95
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:53,400


96
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,119


97
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:03,360

don't leave the ground

98
00:07:25,999 --> 00:07:28,360


99
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:32,239


100
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:38,600


101
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,879


102
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,600


103
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,999

don't leave the ground

104
00:08:08,239 --> 00:08:10,160
( gasping for air )

105
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:12,559
Help me!

106
00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:15,960
( man )
Oh, my god!

107
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,960
( gasping )

108
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,720
( PA system )
Your attention...

109
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040
A possible viral contingent
has been detected in this area.

110
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,160
Virus control will now determine
the degree of danger.

111
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,240
Please remain calm...

112
00:08:37,319 --> 00:08:40,079
Transmission, danger category five.

113
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Mandatory procedure ready.

114
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:44,920
All units commence cleansing.

115
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,199
( gasps )

116
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Fire!

117
00:09:06,439 --> 00:09:08,319
Your attention, please,

118
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Full quarantine
and decontamination procedures

119
00:09:11,079 --> 00:09:14,199
are now in effect. Please remain calm.

120
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,359
-You alright, madam?
-I think so.

121
00:09:19,439 --> 00:09:22,199
You ever see
that mangy troglodyte before?

122
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,079
No, never.

123
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,800
Roost contamination under control.

124
00:09:33,319 --> 00:09:35,640
Ground target neutralized,
carnival freak confirmed the source,

125
00:09:35,719 --> 00:09:38,359
begin cleansing immediately.

126
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,640
Shh.

127
00:09:46,079 --> 00:09:49,000
( over radio ) Scan the usual suspects
to make this look official.

128
00:09:49,079 --> 00:09:52,240
Then grab the girl, but, no witnesses.

129
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,679
Alternaceuticals,
our focus is the source of disease,

130
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,319
and our goal
is to reach a final solution.

131
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,559
Your attention please...

132
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,040
A category five emergency
has been declared.

133
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,839
Virus control will implement
necessary safety precautions.

134
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,959
Please remain calm.

135
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,839
Oh, my god!

136
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,880
( man )
This is only a drill, right?

137
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:37,400
( man )
Negative, bombs away.

138
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:43,079
Run!

139
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,040
C'mon, girl!

140
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,719
Safety precautions complete.

141
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,240
Thank you for your cooperation.

142
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,479
Alternaceuticals,

143
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,839
keeping our promise
to control, cleanse and purify

144
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,040
for your safety.

145
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,800
Alternaceuticals...

146
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,079
Can you hear what they're saying?

147
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,079
( man ) An official police state
has been declared.

148
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Collateral damage from the air strike
failed to neutralize all targets.

149
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640
The lounge singer has escaped
with an accomplice.

150
00:11:31,719 --> 00:11:33,520
Shit, we've got to warn Raven.

151
00:11:33,599 --> 00:11:35,199
Hope we're not too late!

152
00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:41,679
Looks like
the whole goddamn police force.

153
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,719
Shit, that's a battle cruiser.

154
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,760
Raven!
Sweetheart, the VC are after us!

155
00:12:02,839 --> 00:12:04,800
They wiped out the whole troop!

156
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,319
I know. They killed the duck boy.

157
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760
Quick, follow me.

158
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,640
Keep steady, motion sensors.

159
00:12:24,719 --> 00:12:27,079
If it locks on, we're finished.

160
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,959
This way.

161
00:12:33,599 --> 00:12:35,040
( coughing )

162
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,599
You feel okay?

163
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,079
Uh-uh. You?

164
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Stay underground.

165
00:12:46,839 --> 00:12:49,000
We'll have to take
the abandoned subway tunnels.

166
00:12:49,079 --> 00:12:50,479
( coughing )

167
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,839
( Raven )
You two okay?

168
00:12:58,079 --> 00:12:59,679
( Raven )
How much further?

169
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
( Bird )
We're almost there.

170
00:13:01,959 --> 00:13:04,800
-Almost where?
-You're in danger.

171
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,640
I've gotta get you to safety.

172
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:09,760
-Hey, I want some answers!
-You're hosting this disease.

173
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:13,359
-What!?
-They're slowly dying and so are you.

174
00:13:13,439 --> 00:13:15,319
( Raven )
What the hell are you talking about?

175
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,760
( twins )
And who the hell are you?

176
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:21,000
Alternaceuticals is responsible
for all that's happened.

177
00:13:21,079 --> 00:13:23,640
The carnival bombing,
the raid on the roost,

178
00:13:23,719 --> 00:13:25,240
both were staged.

179
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,959
Hand print scan, please.

180
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,640
We'll be safe here.

181
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:42,719
Bullshit!

182
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
We all wanna know
what's going on here, Bird.

183
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,240
I was chief epidemiologist
at Alternaceuticals.

184
00:13:49,319 --> 00:13:51,599
Corbin is the chairman and a psychopath.

185
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,959
Together we founded the company.

186
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,719
This video will answer
most of your questions.

187
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,120
Hey, that's me!
Where'd you get this?

188
00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:01,920
Calm down. This isn't an actual event
from your life.

189
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,520
Your memory's are VR simulations.

190
00:14:04,599 --> 00:14:06,280
You are the sole prototype

191
00:14:06,359 --> 00:14:08,559
if a government funded
genetic engineering project.

192
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,079
Your value as a test subject
is priceless.

193
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,719
And Corbin knows that.

194
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,400
Raven, you'll have to trust me.

195
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:16,599
We'll have to work together
to save your lives

196
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,199
and take that bastard down.

197
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,359
-Why me?
-Look...

198
00:14:20,439 --> 00:14:22,160
Technically you're a human machine.

199
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,959
The synthesis of biological
and mechanical components

200
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,359
Has made your immune system
a model of efficiency.

201
00:14:29,439 --> 00:14:33,319
In a healthy immune system, pathogens
routinely enter your bloodstream,

202
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,160
but they're destroyed
by white blood cells.

203
00:14:37,319 --> 00:14:40,040
Speak English, witch doctor!

204
00:14:41,079 --> 00:14:43,319
The micro-algae in your bloodstreams

205
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,839
Is now simply too strong
for this natural process.

206
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,920
Unless each of you has a transfusion,
your current condition is terminal.

207
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,439
What?!

208
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,400
It's part of an end game
to eliminate mutant genes

209
00:14:54,479 --> 00:14:56,400
from the natural selection process.

210
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:58,439
Despite your eugenics,

211
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,479
your death would confirm the strength
of the Alternaceuticals micro-algae

212
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:05,599
And trigger the plan
for mutant genocide.

213
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:07,920
What the hell are you talking about?

214
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Yeah, this is ridiculous!

215
00:15:09,959 --> 00:15:12,719
It's the initial phase
of Corbin's eugenic master plan.

216
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,240
Look...

217
00:15:14,319 --> 00:15:16,280
This is your blood from the other night.

218
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,160
The virus.

219
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Corbin's plan is bigger
than the both of us.

220
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,959
To eliminate people
with anomalistic genetic codes,

221
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,679
aberrant DNA, whatever.

222
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,199
Like your duck friend
and the twins here.

223
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,359
Oh, my god. What can we do?

224
00:15:38,439 --> 00:15:41,439
There's a chance
I can reverse the process.

225
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,520
We have to re-regulate
your metabolisms via transfusion.

226
00:15:45,599 --> 00:15:47,400
But we'll have to
get into Alternaceuticals.

227
00:15:47,479 --> 00:15:49,599
And I better be right.

228
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:51,920
You're starting to show symptoms.

229
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,599
( Bird )
Raven, you have to trust me.

230
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:04,359
You were the product of love
and sacrifice, not science.

231
00:16:04,439 --> 00:16:07,280
Bird, what about my mother?

232
00:16:07,359 --> 00:16:10,240
Right before I was fired...

233
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,520
She died.

234
00:16:12,599 --> 00:16:15,319
An experiment went... Wrong.

235
00:16:17,359 --> 00:16:19,599
( bird )I loved your mother very much.

236
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,120
Hand print scan, please.

237
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:32,760
Shit!

238
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,760
Good morning....

239
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:46,199
Stay alert this place is crawling
with armed drones.

240
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,000
( twins ) If they dish it,
we'll give it back in spades.

241
00:17:42,879 --> 00:17:45,359
Hang in there, girls,
we're almost there.

242
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,480
( twins )
I hope so, we're fading fast.

243
00:17:56,639 --> 00:18:01,040
This machine could've been the source
of healing for so many people.

244
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,720
( coughing )

245
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,800
It worked, let's go, ladies!

246
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:46,559
( computer )
Transfusion bay has been breached.

247
00:18:46,639 --> 00:18:48,960
Armed response has been initiated.

248
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Raven, please forgive me.

249
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,599
I've been wrong all along.

250
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,919
You can't tamper with life,
only hope to understand it.

251
00:19:13,399 --> 00:19:14,919
Shut down the machine.

252
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Think again.

253
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:22,680
Bird!

254
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Back in your cage, Corbin.

255
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,559
You bastard! You're ruining everything!

256
00:19:28,639 --> 00:19:30,559
Corbin, what have you done?

257
00:19:30,639 --> 00:19:33,000
You created the virus.

258
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,000
I merely improved its application.

259
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:44,399
You've always been a proponent
of electric shock therapy.

260
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,200
Exploiting laboratory specimen

261
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960
To catalog the results
of your empirical delusions.

262
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,240
But these are human beings, you bastard.

263
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:57,280
Eliminating the mutants and freaks
is good science.

264
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Slowly developing an expensive cure
is good fiscal policy.

265
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,559
You sick son-of-a-bitch!

266
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,839
-What just happened?
-I feel different.

267
00:20:24,919 --> 00:20:26,480
( Raven ) you two okay?

268
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:27,839
( twins )
It's wonderful!

269
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,919
( twins )
So this is Corbin?

270
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,280
You crazy son-of-a-bitch!

271
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,319
Well, here we are again, Bird.

272
00:20:53,399 --> 00:20:56,280
When will you realize
that profitable science

273
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,040
always involves sacrifice?

274
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Her mother would know all about that.

275
00:21:03,159 --> 00:21:05,040
( gasping )

276
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,720
We finish this now.

277
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:13,319
( Bird )
Roll sisters, come up firing!

278
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,319
We'll fry in hell together, Corbin.

279
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,599
Aah!!

280
00:21:28,639 --> 00:21:29,879
Bird!

281
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:36,319
We got your back, get goin', girl!

282
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,240
Let's go, girls, we're out of time!

283
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,200
Remember, friends,
for all your pharmaceutical needs,

284
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,879
look no further than Alternaceuticals.

285
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,599
Better living through better chemicals.

286
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,159
Is anyone really safe these days?

287
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720
These corporations and cartels...

288
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,960
Are they solving our problems
or creating them?

289
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,720
You know what's true, what's real?

290
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,319
Your own thoughts may not belong to you.

291
00:22:47,399 --> 00:22:49,280
A seemingly innocuous thing,

292
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,760
A sneeze, can change
not just the present and the future,

293
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:56,639
but the past as well.

294
00:22:57,919 --> 00:22:59,359
Here's to you, Bird.

295
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,599
Thanks for the... memories.

296
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,119
( loud exhale )
