Mia: How? Ethan! Ethan? Ethan! Ethan! Ethan!
Mia: What was that?
Worker A: They’re dead! They’re all dead!
Worker B: What is it?
Worker A: The engine room!
Worker B: What the fuck are you talking about?
Worker A: She killed them all.
Worker B: Fuck… What the hell is going on?
Worker A: We need some weapons. Is there any weapons on this ship?
Worker B: I don’t know, but… Let’s go this way, maybe we can get out of here.
Worker: Settle down, little girl, just settle down.
Eveline: Are you remembering?
Mia: What? What are you?
Eveline: You said we could be a family.
Mia: What are you talking about?
Eveline: You said!
Mia: Wait! Please!
Eveline: I’m tired of waiting.
Eveline: Watch it.
Mia: What? Why?
Eveline: You need to remember—so we can be a family.
Mia: Alan, you’re getting worse.
Alan: She must have infected me during the attack. And I’m too far gone anyway. But it serves me right. It’s my fault she got out.
Mia: Yeah, it is your fault. But that doesn’t mean I’m gonna let you die.
Alan: She didn’t attack you?
Mia: It’s part of her imprinting protocol. I can’t believe this is happening.
Alan: Here, take it. It has her tissue samples. You find her—you fix this.
Mia: OK, Evie. Where are you? She’s close. She’s vomiting… Damn, I’ll have to reset.
Alan: How’s it going?
Mia: She’s vomiting. Far more in excess of her body mass.
Alan: Oh great. We’re gonna be seeing a lot more of her ugly friends if this keeps up. Alright, we need to find her and fast. This is getting out of hand.
Mia: Agreed.
Mia: Alan. I think she’s on the other side of this door, but I don’t have a key.
Alan: Try to melt down the lock. You’re on the bottom level, right? Check our luggage.
Eveline: Are you mad at me, mommy?
Mia: Evie, I’m not mad. Wait, what did you call me?
Eveline: I don’t want to live at the lab anymore. I want a house. And I want you to be my mommy.
Mia: OK, Evie, I’ll be your mommy. Just come back with me right now, OK? Where are you, Evie? Evie, wait!
Alan: Did you find her?
Mia: Yes, but she ran off. She’s making more friends, Alan. Those things are everywhere.
Alan: I told you so.
Mia: Are you OK?
Alan: You just worry about getting Eveline back.
System: Emergency Safety Lockdown system has been engaged.
Mia: Damn it… Alan? Alan, where the hell are you?
Mia: How did you get here?
Alan: Where’s Evie?
Mia: She’s out of control. Without the treatments she’s deteriorating.
Alan: Well, it’s a good thing I’m already dying.
Mia: Don’t say that.
Alan: She trusts you. That little bitch, she never—No, Evie, I—Evie—I didn’t mean to call you that, Evie.
Mia: She’s trying to take control. You have to fight her. Eveline, stop! Stop right now!
Alan: Don’t touch me!
Mia: Ethan… You were right. I did lie to you. I shouldn’t have, but— All I can say is that if you get this… Stay away. Forget that you ever knew me. Have a good life.
Eveline: We’ll be together forever.
Eveline: Now do you remember?
Mia: Yes, Eveline, I remember.
Eveline: Can we be a family like before?
Mia: No, Evie. We can’t be a family. We were never a family. We will never be a family.
Eveline: Then I don’t need you anymore.
Mia: Maybe it still works. Ethan—I hope I make it in time. OK, bottom level.
Eveline: Liar.
Mia: Stop it, Eveline! Fucking hallucinations. Where is she?
Eveline: He’s waiting. I need you to do something for me.
Mia: Ethan…
Jack: Ethan. Ethan. I know, I know. I know—I’m not going to hurt you. Hell, I never would have if I could have helped it.
Ethan: What do you mean?
Jack: I’m no killer, son. Neither is Marguerite, nor my boy Lucas. Or even Zoe here. That girl, Eveline, she did this.
Ethan: What the hell is she? Now what did she do to you?
Jack: She infected us with her gift. That’s what she calls it. I found her near a busted-out tanker in the bayou. Everything changed after that.
Ethan: So she infects you, and then she takes control?
Jack: No, not exactly, son. She just—she forces her way into your mind and your soul and… you can’t fight back. You are connected to her and you can’t resist the urge to… You’re a different person after that.
Ethan: Just like Mia. So Mia sent me that message because of Eveline.
Jack: Listen, the girl just wants a family of her own. She’s the key, alright? You find her and you stop her. Ethan, free my family—please.
Mia: Eveline, stay away from him.
Eveline: Why? He doesn’t love you. I can make him love you.
Mia: Don’t—Don’t hurt him.
Eveline: Silly—I told you. I’m not going to hurt him.
Mia: Don’t you dare.
Eveline: Or, what? You’re not my mommy—remember.
Ethan: Mia? Mia? How?
Mia: There’s no time. You have to get out of here and find her. Here, take this.
Ethan: Wait—wait—what are you doing? What are you doing?
Mia: Saving your life. You need to go. I won’t be able to resist for much longer. Now, go kill that little bitch.
Ethan: No—no. Mia—no! OK, you little bitch, where the fuck are you?
Bravo 1: Alpha 1—this is Bravo 1—do you read? This is Alpha 1. Report. Did you find anything?
Alpha 1: A thorough search of the Baker property revealed zero survivors—Repeat, zero survivors. We did find evidence of a skirmish.
Bravo 1: Eveline?
Alpha 1: Negative. However, we did find several encrypted messages from the Baker’s son, Lucas, to an unknown third party. You can probably guess who that was.
Bravo 1: That’s just great. We’ve had reports he’s in the abandoned mines south of the property. I’m gonna go have a look.
Alpha 1: Roger that. We’ll meet you at those coordinates.
Bravo 1: If you encounter Eveline—orders are shoot to kill. Repeat—shoot to kill.
Eveline: Die!
Ethan: Fuck!
