Fade In:
EXT. HOSPITAL SERVICE ENTRANCE.
Camera angle: Black and white security camera set on service
entrance. Two large orderlies wheel a gurney with a patient
strapped to it, out of the door. They undo the restraints and
quickly run back inside, locking the door behind them. Gus
Morris (Patient Zero) gets up off the gurney and attacks the
door. Then he stops, sniffs the air, and lumbers off.
MARY
(A nurse coming in for midnight
shift. Locks her car and heads
across the parking lot. She hears
shuffling feet in the darkness)
Hello?
Camera angle switch to ground level right behind Mary's feet
as they walk faster and faster, finally breaking into a run.
Camera switches to Gus's point of view. (A modified infrared
where instead of heat, he can see the blood pumping inside of
living people)
GUS
(Growling as he approaches her)
MARY
(Getting her first good look at
Gus) NO! (She fumbles for her door
pass) OhmyGod, OhmyGod, OhmyGod!
(She finally gets the door open and
dives inside)
GUS
(Sprints toward the closing door
and wedges his arm inside, grabbing
her leg)
MARY
(Screaming as she tries to open the
inner door and kick Gus off of her
leg)
GUS
(Clawing at her leg, trying to
force his shoulder and head inside)
MARY
Camera switches to hospital
security camera view) (Mary flails
around, trying to hit Gus with her
purse. As things start falling out
of her purse, she sees her can of
pepper spray, but it's just out of
reach. She struggles to get it and
finally is able to grab it, then
sprays Gus in the face
GUS
(Camera switches to Gus's point of
view) (Recoils from the pepper
spray then screams in rage and
pounds on the now closed door)
MARY
(Breathing hard, screams and accidentally sprays
her pepper spray at the orderlies
who come to rescue her) (The same
orderlies that released Gus)
ORDERLY ONE
Ah, Dammit!
MARY
Sorry, I thought...(Passes out)
ORDERLY ONE
(Wiping pepper spray out of his
eyes, drags her inside, leaving a
trail of blood) (Camera switches to
a stationary view at floor level
near the pool of blood watching as
Mary is slowly dragged away)

Fade in:
EXT. HOSPITAL PARKING LOT
Camera switches back and forth every ten seconds to a
different security camera. In each shot there is hospital
staff screaming, running, or being devoured.

inneffective, hesitates to pull his

enraged than injured. He charges

has shot policeman one, stops
shooting and is quickly devoured by

Welcome to FCB, home of the five

The cashier hears nothing but breathing and a faint shuffling
sound.
CASHIER
Hello?
Shuffling has faded away. She turns off the speaker, shrugging
her shoulders. Camera goes to outside shot looking into window
at cashier.

(Jumps as she looks at the face
staring back in at her) You scared

people laying on the floor just out
of his reach. He backs out of the
window and notices people walking
in the front door. He turns and
follows them)
COOK
Oh no!
Cook and dishwasher struggle to get the unconcious, bleeding
cashier off of them to go warn people. Camera switches to
