Umbrella.
A company besieged by legal scandal and falling stock prices
is now trying to reinvent itself with a major push
into direct-to-consumer drugs.
Critics say that the company's operating at a dangerous burn rate,
but Umbrella's betting big on the move.
Brainchild of newly minted CEO, Evelyn Marcus.
Tell me about Joy.
Well, they say you can't put a price on happiness, but sure you can.
-If you bottle it.
You sound like your father.
He founded Umbrella before being… pushed out.
He did.
And I still like to think of this as a family business.
Still, I have to ask you about the past.
Raccoon City.
It was an unimaginable tragedy.
A horrible accident that no one could have seen coming.
Don't get me wrong.
The old Umbrella, my father, made his share of mistakes,
but this is not that company.
The things we're working on today…
they're gonna change the world.
Those are rubber bullets, right?
Help!
Mom?
Come on.
-Over here.
Sir, we lost her.
So, you find her.
Chase down the runners.
I want a team along the outer docks, another in the trees.
Dude. Ouch.
-No! -Don't shoot!
-Mom?
Mom!
Liam, come here.
I'm sorry.
We thought he was gone. We…
I don't know how to thank you.
Billie.
Billie?
Go away.
No! We have to talk.
I just wanna know you're all right. Billie.
Oh, you're home. Great.
I'm starving. What's for dinner?
What?
How's your sister?
She's…
good.
Catching up on school, I think.
When she's done…
-tell her I'll be right back. -Yes, sir.
Billie, come on.
It's fine.
I'm fine.
-Who the hell sent that drone?
Umbrella.
"Umbrella"?
-They wouldn't. -Oh, they really would.
You have a family. You should've taken the ferry.
We can't.
Why not?
You're smuggling contraband.
Forty-year-old contraband.
The Black market on these will keep us alive while we resettle.
We've got people in Calais.
My sister, her girls.
He's been through so much.
We just want to raise him amongst family.
Give him something that feels… normal.
There's gotta be another way across.
There is.
The "chunnel."
Traffickers run people through to the other side,
and they don't ask questions.
-It's too dangerous. -And if we stay here? What, then?
We spent most of our money on the boat.
Okay, so we pull what we've got, and we go together.
No offense, but why should we trust you?
She saved Liam.
Look, the only way you can trust anyone is when they need you.
And right now, we need each other.
Jesus, are you okay?
Hey.
Good talk.
Nice sister moment.
-Eat it.
So where are you down from?
'Round York.
I heard it's beautiful around there. Why'd you leave?
Didn't have any choice.
The walls kept the zeros out, but…
didn't stop the virus from getting in.
That's…
I'm so sorry.
Everybody lost somebody, right?
-Hmm!
So how's the new school?
They have kombucha on tap.
-Hey, morning. -Billie.
What are you doing?
-Going to school? -Uh, no.
We should give it a few days.
Dad, I'm fine. And I'm missing classes.
-I don't think you should-- -I think she looks great.
I mean, you said it yourself.
If we miss too much school, people could notice.
Billie.
Come here.
Okay, look at me.
And?
It's better.
So can I go?
Uh…
-That's a yes. -Thanks, Dad.
I… No, you, you…
Call me if anything doesn't…
feel right.
Jade.
Keep an eye on your sister.
Do you feel like, weird?
Mad?
I'm mad that you keep asking me asshole questions.
Because I'm good.
And after everything…
everything that happened, I just want things to be normal.
Okay?
Billie?
Billie.
Jade, hey.
Hi, I'm Simon.
I'm gonna be late.
Stay.
"Stay"?
Hey.
-Hey! -What?
What do you mean "what"? The fuck just happened back there?
Dad… Dad just gave me these drugs to sleep and I just… I think I have a hangover.
Yeah, I don't know.
He's cute.
-He's okay. -He likes you.
So what? Like, I miss one day, and you have a boyfriend now?
-No, he just helped me. -With what?
Homework.
Look.
You'd tell me if something was wrong, right?
You should go.
Your boyfriend's waiting.
I don't think your sister likes me very much.
Why do you care?
She doesn't know you. You literally just met.
I don't know, it's just a vibe. I'm quite good at reading people.
And you think I'm super-hot. Charming as shit.
I think you're full of shit.
The files you sent me were only half downloaded.
I need the rest.
-I thought you said that that was a joke? -It is.
It's super funny.
Umbrella does shady shit.
-Like Facebook shady, but-- -So you can't get them.
-No, I can. -Then do it.
You know, you're not like, bossy at all.
You love it.
Yeah.
Four to cross.
Well, you've come to the right place.
I don't know what you've heard, but since our outfit's taken over,
passage is much safer.
Only three people died last month.
"Three"?
Well, if you want repeat business, you've got to put the customer first.
You sure you want to take a kid?
-Whole team. -It's your call.
Right, all that's left then is the dirty business of business.
This will get you one.
That'll do.
All right, everybody in.
My advice.
Keep your eyes on the floor
and your hands and your feet tucked in tight.
And we'll get you through, quick and quiet.
This is safe, right?
Sure.
Come on, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Hey.
It's okay.
-Going up!
Okay, let's go.
Italian leather.
Fancy.
Come on, honey. You think I'd miss your world-famous lemon salmon?
I'll be home by eight.
Promise.
Love you, too.
Sounds like things are better at home.
I'm a great lay.
Let's have some fun.
Now, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Tijuana was a setback.
But Joy still represents the future of this company.
For most of its history,
Umbrella's been a contractor for the US government.
But if we're gonna survive, we have to look elsewhere.
Outward, to the people.
That's why you put me in charge.
But I understand Dr. Wesker wants to suspend this project.
Oh, you heard wrong.
Right, Al?
Prescribed in the correct dosage,
Joy can be a miracle pill.
An antidepressant that lowers anxiety, increases focus.
But the drug contains a derivative of the T-virus.
A pathogen we originally developed for the American military.
That project was, um…
ill-fated.
And while we thought we'd solved the problem,
in larger doses, the viral load not only activates the T-virus,
it becomes transmissible.
Usually through a bite.
So we just tell people not to bite each other.
It's, um…
-not that easy.
This is what happens when you overdose on Joy.
The subject becomes desiccated.
Violent.
For rats, it takes a few hours.
For a human…
three days.
But the end is always the same.
The T-virus makes monsters.
Joy, could be a billion-dollar drug,
but we need to delay the launch until we can stabilize it.
Well, I don't see this as a problem.
Wait, did you… Did you say you don't see that as a problem?
It's an opportunity.
Yes.
We need to rethink Joy.
That gives us a chance to make it better.
See, in our trials, we found that slightly tweaking the virus
does something unexpected.
This subject was given, let's call it, a souped-up version of Joy.
So this is our billion-dollar idea?
-Dogs? -No.
Our team anticipates a similar response in human trials.
Which means, it goes beyond the "feel good."
The new Joy would allow us to influence attention, behavior,
all through a series of triggers.
So imagine that same pattern on a website or an app.
A Joy user wouldn't be able to look away.
So we're doing mind control now?
Of course not, Janet.
But hey, who hasn't popped a Xany and gone hunting for Louboutin's.
Right, Alan?
Joy will make Umbrella the biggest company in the world.
Fuck Google, Fuck Zuckerberg. They deliver eyeballs.
Umbrella will deliver minds.
That's not a billion-dollar drug.
That's a trillion-dollar drug.
None of which eliminates the danger.
How much would I have to take to turn into…
that?
Let's see.
Three?
No?
Ten?
Am I getting close?
-Al?
Twenty thousand.
So we know what goes on the warning label.
Right?
Attention, students.
This is a reminder that all personal items,
including purses, helmets, and cellphones should be kept in your locker.
Thank you.
Can't help you, mate.
So you haven't seen her?
Well, even if I had, which I'm not saying I have…
I've got principles.
Standards. Criteria and such.
I…
Is… is he for real?
I have no idea what you're saying.
What I'm saying is fuck off, Umbrella.
Nice ride.
Where you headed?
Home.
And where's that?
The University.
Like, a school?
No.
The University, it, uh…
preserves the old world.
Books, art, history.
It's like a… a backup disk for civilization.
It will help us rebuild when all of this is over.
If it's ever over.
What's it like?
Peaceful.
"Peaceful."
Do you know what it was like to be… bored?
I try not to think about it.
The world that we had.
The one they never got.
Okay, next leg of the trip.
Everyone keep your mouths shut.
And I mean super glued.
You hear me?
What?
Lickers.
They hunt by sound.
The hell?
Warning! You are engaged in illegal activities
under Umbrella jurisdiction!
Do not resist!
Do not start your engine.
Do not exit the vehicle.
You are under arrest.
Move out.
Pull them out and line them up.
Yes, sir.
Let's go. Round them up.
Where's that coming from?
The heck?
Contact!
-What's happening?
-Mom, look.
Move.
No, no, let me go. Let me go!
-Hey, over here.
-There's another way out.
Here.
-Go, go. -Come on. Right this way.
Go, go, go!
Come on!
-Help me!
Service door. Down there.
Go, go! Go!
Come on!
-Like I said…
…fun.
Mickey was a nice touch.
-The Board decided. -For you.
It's a trillion dollars, Al.
I'm offering them a bright shiny future, and you've got, what?
A fancy pen?
How you doing?
You seem edgy.
Top off today?
We took behavioral modification off the table.
I changed my mind.
You're risking millions of lives for what, money?
A spot on the DOW?
If this scales, can't you see where this is going?
It's not about the stock price.
It's about changing the world.
Just…
think about it.
Global warming, gone.
World hunger, not anymore.
Fuck.
We can turn the world vegan if we want to.
And who gets to decide any of that?
Oh, I do.
My friend at the FDA agreed to rush human trials.
-Because you bribed him.
Because I'm such a charming lady.
But I need you to stabilize the formula and bring production online.
What happened in Raccoon City, we'll take precautions.
The only precaution is a cure.
-We don't have one of those. -So let me find one.
-Look, get me a team. -I need you focused.
I can do both.
And, look, if something does go wrong, and the virus gets out of control…
imagine how much money Umbrella makes if you own the cure?
After hours.
And Joy come first.
-Fine. -Fine.
-Wait, Evelyn, don't do that. -Oh, and, Al?
No more surprises.
I don't like surprises.
Viral modulation.
Think of it as Darwinism on a molecular scale.
Virus has literally changed the cells of their host
for their own survival and reproduction.
And as a virus alters or modulates its host,
what does that look like to us?
Symptoms from the everyday stuff.
Sweating, vomiting,
to the extreme cases where viruses attack the blood-brain barrier,
causing hallucinations.
Changes in mood, behavior, violent outbursts,
until the body can fight it off or…
not.
Dude.
Attention, students…
Sorry.
Breathe.
Where are we?
Service tunnel.
Which way to the surface?
Up.
Mom.
Come on, just a bit further.
What's wrong?
Just a little further, yeah? Come on, Liam.
He's fine.
-You've got to get up. Come on. -Get him up. We gotta go.
-He's infected. -No, no, he… he isn't.
When did bright light start bothering him?
Loud noises? When was he bit?
-No, it… It's not-- -Three days ago.
That's why you couldn't take the ferry.
We had to get to Calais. There were rumors.
The Brotherhood has a cure.
The Brotherhood skin people alive.
They don't have a cure! There is no cure!
Fuck this.
No.
No!
You love him. I get it.
But the minute someone is infected, they don't care about you anymore.
They don't love you anymore.
Run!
Fucking run!
Run!
-Run…
Come on, run. Come on.
Here. Here. Through here.
-Come on. -Go.
Come on.
Fuck. Fuck!
What now?
Mark?
Count ten…
then go.
No. Mark.
Come on.
I got it.
Come on.
-I got it. -Go.
-I fucking--
Shit.
You get the rest yet?
The firewall's been updated.
Okay, so?
So Umbrella hasn't updated their security in two years.
Jade. What's going on?
I can't tell you, but…
-I don't know. -Jade, seriously.
Simon, get off of me.
You can't just keep telling me what to do
-without telling me what's going on. -Get off.
-Don't touch her.
-Shit. Billie.
Billie, wait!
What is wrong with your sister?
Jade.
Jade, can you just hold on?
Jade?
Jade Wesker?
Hi, Mom.
Jade, you don't know me, honey,
but I've been watching you grow up in pictures for years.
Your dad and I go way back.
He's a brilliant man.
-You want a ride? -I'm good.
Billie…
Billie?
I think…
I think something's wrong with me.
This whole time…
I thought…
maybe if I just ignore it…
then it would all go away…
and everything would be normal.
I hurt you.
I hurt people.
I've been hearing things.
Seeing things.
Lights…
they feel like…
like drills in my brain.
And sounds.
Sounds just hurt my bones.
I can feel all of that.
But I can't feel this.
What's wrong with me?
The dog…
might have been sick.
What does that mean?
I found this thing online.
Same kind of thing happened in an Umbrella factory.
A guy got bit, and three days later…
What?
He went crazy.
He killed people.
What?
But it's… It's fucked up.
And it's not true.
This is just the drugs. Like you said earlier.
And if it's not?
It is.
Billie, look at me.
No.
Look at me.
Don't cry.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Enya.
Leave him.
He's not yours anymore.
I can't.
Took you long enough, huh?
Ha, it got pretty crazy back there, right?
Like, "Ah, brain monsters."
-Let's, uh…
Let's not.
Don't move!
You're surrounded.
Don't move!
Take them now!
Drop your weapon.
Dude.
Ouch.
You know who we are, huh?
We know you.
Umbrella.
Fascist.
Come here.
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no.
-I'm… I'm not--
