Death Warmed Up (1984) Movie Script

Hi, Michael.
Wonderful news about your
father's award.
He's with Dr. Howell right now.
Okay, thanks.
It's the proof!
The results are conclusive!
- It's too early to draw
any conclusions.
- What do you mean,
it's too early?!
It's here in black and white!
Are you bling to this, man?!
Jesus, Tucker!
The process works now,
can't you see?
The rats were enabling us to
open a way to extend life.
You seem oblivious to this
breakthrough!
- This mutation strain is
basically still untested.
We haven't a clue where it's
leading us.
You're going too far!
- There's no evidence of any
side effects to the rats.
Oh?
And what about the LB-50 model?
You know the autopsy showed
there was
massive internal haemorrhaging
before they died.
Before they died!
You monitored the four stages
of deterioration yourself.
- You know what you're doing,
don't you?
You're sabotaging my
work and I don't like it.
I resent this!
You made one big mistake!
You're in it with me.
Our salvation belongs
to medical engineering.
No!
Death is final!
We are the new messiahs!
We will be wearing the most
beautiful of white coats,
not in insane asylums
but in chemical,
biological laboratories!
If you choose to stop me,
I have no choice but to make
you obsolete!
I'll show you the finality
of death!
I am just beginning!
sorry.
You're all sweaty.
Let's get you cleaned up.
It's all right, Michael.
- what're you
doing to me?
Trust me.
It's okay.
we are the generation
of the end.
I am just beginning.
- At a
press conference today,
Professor Raymond Tucker
and Dr. Archer Howell
were the recipients of the
Rothschild Award for scientific-
Hey, do you know the time?
- Come and look
at this.
Hmmm?
Just as microchip technology
could never have been
envisioned 100 years ago.
So now a man is on the brink
of his own mortality.
For this to succeed,
we have to make a commitment
to challenge,
to risk.
To be willing to pay the
price of taking those risks
by going further than man ever
dreamt of.
We are entering a new age.
We are the generation of
the end.
And nothing is going to stop me.
The fool!
He's mad!
How dare he.
Ray, what is it?
Darling, what's wrong?
- I just don't like Howell's
vision of a new world
where death has become an
obsolete word.
If you ask me,
he looked like death warmed up.
You're tired.
I want you to relax.
This is an important night for
both of us.
He's changed, Netty.
The Rothschild Award
for scientific
advancement.
Do you know something?
Hmmm?
I am just
so proud of you.
He frightens me.
I want
you
to forget.
Michael.
Is that you, Michael?
Michael!
Michael!
No.
what have I done?
ow!
I'm innocent.
Good morning.
Everything ready?
Scalpel.
swab.
Cranium infuser.
Forceps.
Quickly!
Hi.
Do you guys want a cold drink?
Yeah, great.
Yeah I would.
well, later on, Jeannie.
We're just gonna have a look at
the view.
Okay.
sure is hot.
Yeah.
It's a wonderful idea, Lucas.
Good day.
Mind if I take a look?
Sure.
It's a great boat.
- Don't get
much private trade now.
Tourists have dropped right off
since they've got the open plan.
Open plan?
- Yeah, the big
psychiatric hospital.
The biggest in the country.
Are you visiting relative there?
No.
Tell me'
there's an old colleague of
my father's I wanna look up,
name of Howell.
Archer Howell.
Dr. Howell, yeah.
He's the head of
the institution.
He's a great bloke.
- Do you know about the
World War II tunnels?
- Don't wanna go down there,
son.
Why?
- Oh, just wouldn't be seen
dead there, know what I mean?
I wouldn't go camping
there either, if I was you.
Stick to the hotel.
Be a lot safer.
I'll give her one.
Give her my tongue, aye?
Z- K4, Z-K4.
Jackson, here, at the
institute, boys.
Request notification of
whereabouts, over.
Give me that.
We're on the ferry, we'll
be there in about an hour.
come on, let's go in the car.
- I like the
smell of blonde pussy
in the morning.
very nice.
Hey, Michael?
You realise, Jeannie
knows nothing about this.
- Oh, Jesus, it's not the
dirty dozen, you know.
No, I don't know.
Just.
What?
I've got a score to settle.
Someone's gonna get hurt.
And you're dragging Jeannie into
this.
- She's cool, Lucas can handle
that.
- I think we should all talk
about it.
It's only fair.
I'm innocent!
I hate him.
Buzz off, creep!
- Have you got your tickets,
then?
what's happening?
Got a bit of a pervert.
You all right, man?
Are you?
Definitely a worry.
Get inside!
I told you to stay away from
the girlies!
Please, I'm burning up inside.
Get me to...
ow!
Just stay cool.
Don't look out on the
deck again!
Burning
inside me.
Don't know what's going on.
- Have you checked the
markings on that van?
Yeah, I had a look.
Isn't that the weirdest guy?
oh, God.
somebody's pissing on our van.
Let's go!
You pissed on our van.
So what?
I'm official.
- What're you gonna do about it,
pox-face?
stay out of my way!
You.
- What the hell is going on,
you guys?
coming at you.
Thanks, mate.
Just had a chat with a couple
of creeps.
Who were they?
A couple of weirdos.
- This is the last ferry,
spikes,
and you and I
are on it.
Ain't that a shame?
I know.
Oh, shit, you buggers.
Michael, come on, let's go.
spider.
God, elections again.
That guy won't win, he
gives me the creeps.

There's something out there.
What's wrong?

Don't worry.
There they are.
Spider!
Missed.

I'll get you!
I'll get you, bastards!
woo-hoo!
- oh God, this looks
like a fun place to hang out.
- It sure does, don't
you think.
No thanks, Michael.
What are you guys thinking,
the hotel or the beach?
Oh, come on.
stuff the hotel!
Let's find a deserted beach.
Hey.
Michael, what's wrong?
Oh, it's nothing.
Let's get going, come on.
Let's go swimming, aye?
oh.
Hello, good day,
Dr. Howell, sir.
It's a lovely, lovely day.
Very hot an dusty, oh.
And Mr. Jackson, hello, hello.
One piece of fish, Ranji.
Make is snappy.
- Oh very, very
snappy, Dr. Howell, sir.
- And one
elephant burger.
Oh elephant, oh yes.
Dollar's worth of chips.
Oh, very good.
And 10 pineapple fritters.
- Oh my God, 10
pineapple fritters.
Right away, Mr. Jackson, sir.
10 pineapple fritters!
Emergency.
Come on.
Oh my God.
Another mystical experience.
Lucas.
- Ease up, I'm not
forcing you into anything.
I tell you, those tunnels
are great.
- Look, I don't have to do what
you want all the damn time.
Think about me.
What's the problem?
I don't like being lied to.
- I thought it was better
you didn't know, that's all.
- Don't you feel there's
something strange?
That town was weird.
Come on.
- Do you know what I wanna
do tonight?
I want to have you all
to myself.
And we can come back here when
it's dark.
I love you.
Okay.
oh, you bastard!
come on, Mr. Monroe.
You are one of our
success stories.
Back him through.
You bastard.
I can't stand the pain!
I can see.
- why didn't you let
me die the first time?
I submitted!
You have no say in the matter.
Dispose of him.
He's not dead yet.
Help me!
Jackson!
Yahoo!
- Where are the torches,
Michael?
Come on, then.
come on, you guys.
come on.
I'm waiting for you.
This is brilliant.
- Let's all
stick together.
Lucas.
Look at this.
- Let's check out
those bunkers.
Come on, this way.
- They must be
around here somewhere.
Tell them to stop.
what?
I don't believe it.
I just don't believe it.
- Look, I've had
enough, I wanna get out.
Michael!
- I knew this
would happen.
Lucas!
I'm freezing.
- They can't be far,
Jeannie.
We've gotta keep moving,
come on.
What's that?
- Okay, you guys, you've made
your point.
Look, we get the message loud
and clear.
Lucas, stop it.
Please, Michael!
What are they doing?
You're scaring us!
Let's go back, okay?
Michael!
That guy from the ferry!
- What? what
are you talking about?
He was hanging!
He's dead!
We've gotta go!
The steps!
Take the steps!
I'll get you!
Spider!
I'm all right!
Leave me alone!
come on, move!
I see a way out!
Michael!
Go on, sandy!
- Thinking about
getting those bastards!
Lucas!
Lucas!
Lucas!
Grab her, sandy!
come on in, you bastards!
come on!
You stupid bastards!
Spider!
spider.
Michael!
I can't stop it bleeding.
We've got to get her to
that hospital.
No.
- There's people there that can
help her.
She's dying.
Michael.
Michael, talk to me.
Michael.
You're okay, Jeanie.
Just don't move, okay?
We'll get you to a doctor.
There's no place to take her!
It's a loony bin!
They'll not help her, Sandy!
No!
She's dying, Michael!
Don't you understand?!
Michael, can we go, please?
Can we get out of this place?
- what're you
doing here?
What the hell's going on here?
Speak!
There's.
Well?!
There's
something wrong.
It's in me.
You gotta help me.
Get your hands off me!
Some kids.
In the tunnel.
They got away,
they're responsible.
Who?!
And where are they?
I can't help you.
I have no time for this.
No time.
Dispose of them!
No.
No!
No!
Come here!
No!
No!
Hey, guys!
You need to do a job for me.
Nothing's gonna stop me now!
Nothing!
- Just hang in there,
kid-o.
- I'm all right,
sandy.
# Giving all your love to just
one man #
Bloody phone.
# You have bad times #
# And he'll have good times #
Come on.
# Doing things that you don't #
# understand #
# But if you love him #
# You'll forgive him #
# Even though he's hard to
understand #
- Any luck?
- No.
Hello?
Is that the institute?
Who's there?
Well who are you?
Look, we've got an injured
girl, we need your help.
She's dying.
- Listen, kid, we have
got an emergency on here.
A breakout of psycho patients.
What do you mean, a breakout?
We've already been attacked.
Holy shit, not again.
She's dying.
- Listen, ask him if-
- Hang on!
- We gotta get out of
here before it's too late.
Are you still there?
Hello?
- Nothing's gonna stop
me now!
Nothing!
Just save your strength, okay?
The blood stopped.
Blood?
- Are you the kids that
were in the tunnels?
So what?
When can you get down here?
Where are you?
- You guys, you just gotta
listen to me!
In some pub, I don't know.
Please, can you come?
It's the pub!
oh, Jeannie.
Listen to me!
Stay where you are.
Don't move.
Bolt yourselves into the bar
and...
shit, we've been cut off.
There's something bloody
weird going on, mate.
- Those psychos will be
like killing machines.
Nothing can stop them now.
Go grab these girlies and
bring them inside now!
Get on the floor, Jeannie!
Lock the door!
There's something out there,
Michael!
Where's Jeannie?!
she's in he car.
- We can't
stay here any longer!
Hold it, for Christ sake!
That's him!
That's him!
You're mine!
That's mine!
I'm going out there.
Hey.
Come on, fellas.
It's Berry.
You know me.
I've given you a few in my time.
Take it easy, boys.
Just take it easy.
what about Jeannie?!
Get that out of here!
come on!
You three are coming with us.
What?
Where are you taking us?
- I'm taking you down
to hell, boy!
Come on!
- Who the bloody hell were
those blokes, Michael?!
What's going on?
what's going on?
Let's go.
Over here!
I've gotta go!
We're all in this together!
Don't you leave me!
I'll be back.
sandy, give me a hand!
Please, help me!
That'll do.
You do it.
Where?
We'll find a vein in her arm.
- No, don't let him,
sandy!
I can't.
No!
Don't hurt her!
We've gotta get her out of here.
Die, Sandy.
Even I know that.
We're gonna go soon, Jeannie.
You'll be all right.
You're gonna make it.
Lucas,
take me home.
Get her under cover!
All right, you jam the doors!
It's all right, it's all right.
You'll be safe in here.
No, not in here.
- It's all right, I'll just
be outside.
Just outside the door.
You're gonna leave me.
No, I'm not.
I'll stay.
Lucas!
Lucas?
Lucas?
Don't quit now, Lucas.
She was gonna be all right.
She was gonna make it.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault, goddamn it!
It's just that
everything's dying!
I can't handle all this death.
- Look, we've gotta go find
Michael.
Come on!
Jackson, here,
I've got one of those kids
in the tunnels.
Not now, Jackson.
Forceps.
Another one.
Clean him up.
You.
Murderer.
You murderer.
No.
I had a vision.
You were part of that vision.
Oh, for Christ sake!
I'm gonna kill you.
Nobody's going to kill me.
Jackson, take the nurses
to safety.
Do it!
Come on!
- Nobody is going to kill me,
Michael.
There are hundreds who've
undergone the process
all over the land.
You know, it's only a matter of
hours
before they start to meltdown.
But there are others out there
who haven't even started.
Come.
I'll show you.
You see.
Michael.
The genetic recombination.
It's mutated.
I can't stop it.
- I don't wanna hear
anymore of that shit now.
Now, Michael,
you must realise that I
must survive
that this is to be stopped.
Only I can make them live again.
Your time's up, Howell.
Trust me, Michael.
You must trust me.
No.
we're all going to die.
Come on, Lucas!
I'll get you.
I'll get you all.
They're both dead.
Jeannie.
Lucas.
Michael!
Why?!
I did it.
I did it.
What're you talking about?
I love you, goddamn it!
No.
Don't stop.
Keep going.
No!
No!
Don't do it!
We are alive!
It's over!
It hasn't even begin.
Michael!
Don't leave me!
No!
