Hi! You've reached Eva Marsh. I can't take
your call right now, but, if you
leave me a detailled message
I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Good afternoon, everyone.
To those of you who are here today, thank you.
Since so many of your classmates are out sick,
I'm gonna use the second half of today's
class to hold individual meetings about your
upcoming projects.
But first, let's take a look back
at last week's discussion about composition.
Now that we all know how to dynamically compose a shot,
let's have a look at how that applies to portraits.
You're all familiar with classic
portraiture. These are the kinds of images we see
everyday. But, as we've discussed,
photography is an art. Portraits don't have to
limit themselves to commercial conventions.
Now, tell me, what do we learn from these images?
What makes them different?
How do we distinguish between commercial photography
and art?
Yes, Danielle?
Can you please go back to the previous picture?
There's something about
this picture. I think it's in the model's eyes
or her smile. It looks like there's something more.
Hi. I'm Steve Jones.
This is my colleague, Martin Reed.
Hi. Eva Marsh.
Ms Marsh, you've applied
to the administrative assistant position. - Yes.
You would be working for Martin, who is the marketing VP
of the Montreal branch of NRP. I have to say we were intrigued
when we received your resume.
You don't seem to have any job experience.
-Well, I've been modelling for the past ten
years, so that was my main occupation.
I thought I recognized you. You were in that ad for Re-
Rejuvenate cream. Yes.
That was me.
- You do realize that this would be
a much different work environment than modelling.
I'm fully aware of that.
- And you're ok with this?
Ms. Marsh?
Yes. I'm sorry about that.
Can you please repeat the question?
- Why are you interested in this job?
Well, I studied business
in college, but my modelling career
sort of just happened, so I went with it.
But, now I'm at a time in my life where
I need to make choices and start building my future.
I always thought your company would
be a nice place to get started.
Must be hard to get modelling gigs are your age.
Yes.
The job here entails a lot of data entry, filing,
typing up sales documents, drafting, things like that.
Yes, I can do that. I love writing and
I've always been good with grammar and spelling. I can assure you
I'm very dedicated, you won't be disappointed.
How well do you handle stress?
Fairly well.
Hello?
When are we gonna talk about it?
It's yours.
Hello?
Yes, of course. Hold please.
Hello?
Yes!
Of course.
I'm delighted.
No, no, no, it's not a problem.
I understand. I'll be there.
Thank you. Have a good evening.
I got the job.
Training starts next week.
They need me to come in on Monday to fill out some paperwork.
That's fantastic news.
See? I told you things were gonna get better.
And you'll see, this is gonna do you a world of good.
And you have the weekend to rest and get ready.
I know this is gonna be a big change for you...
but I'm here.
I'm here to support you.
I miss you.
We have a disturbing update on last night's
story of the couple found deadppin their house.
Althought the deaths of Lana Smith and Mark Poe were
originally reported to be a case of murder-suicide, an insider close to the
investigation is saying it appears the
couple may have been ill for some time
and there are indications of cannibalistic behavior.
Again, these details have yet
to be confirmed by detectives,
but it certainly is a bizarre twist in what is
already a shocking story.
A few weeks after the discovery of a mutant strain of
the Influenza C virus,
researchers have announced today that a flu epidemic is in--
Citizens of earth.
You are captivated by
the female human breasts.
Becau-- - Close your eyes.
We call upon the power of the darkness!
Hey! There he is! - Hey!
Hey man, long time no see! - I know, too long!
I was
starting to think you were ignoring me!
You've been back for a month now?
Yes, I know, I know. I had some things to take care of.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Still, it's no way to treat your best bud!
How was New York?
Good, good. The pictures came out
okay. Considering I had to
cut it short and come back.
I should be able to reshoot in a few weeks if I need to.
I just wish I hadn't gone in the first place.
Hey, listen man, there's no way you could have known.
I know, I know. Still, I should
have been here. For Eva.
If I had, she wouldn't be so
depressed.
Is it that bad?
I'd rather not talk about it.
Montreal health officials have confirmed that the recent
flu outbreak has reached pandemic proportions and is officially
the fastest moving pandemic on record.
Montreal public health protection department
said the virus is spreading so quickly that it is now
pointless to count every individual case.
Henceforth, national health authorities will only
report on clusters of severe cases,
deaths caused by a new virus,
or abnormal clinical patterns.
Emergency rooms in the city are currently operating at a 175% capacity.
Therefore, unless infected individuals
fall into a high risk category such as infants and seniors,
public health officials are urging people not to leave their homes
and to remain calm until the virus has been contained.
Due to the gravity of the situation,
Quebec Health Ministry has instituted a preventative lockdown on all schools
and businesses for the island of Montreal
and it's surrounding areas.
We are reportedly on the verge of a public health crisis
and we need the public's
collaboration until we can regain control of the situation.
Emergency food banks
and medical facilities... - Hello?
Yes. Yes.
I just heard. I understand.
Thanks for letting me know.
You know, I was actually looking
forward to my first day at work.
I'm sure it's just for a few days...
It's a safety measure.
It works to your advantage, doesn't it?
- Please, not again.
Why are you always pushing me away?
What are we gonna do?
- I won't be in the way.
I can use Jonas' room.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
Come on... I know what you want.
And I know what you want.
The coroner's report has not been issued yet,
but we are getting new information
that indicates the recent string of
unusual deaths in the Montreal area
might well be associated with the
viral outbreak we are experiencing.
I'm hearing from my sources
that extreme anger or possible brutality
might be a secondary symptom of the mutated virus
it would be wise to avoid contact with
any person you think might be infected
or who is displaying erratic-- - Are you okay?
No. - Why? What's wrong?
I'm just so scared...
I don't know how to...
What if it just gets worse...
Hey, hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.
Evert hing's are gonna back to normal before you know it.
I need you.
Sorry for everything.
For pushing you away... - Don't worry about it.
Everything's gonna be fine.
No.
I'm coming right back.
It's James!
Howdy neighbor!
Come on in.
It's good to have you over.
Here's to good health!
Hey, hey, hey, careful!
You gotta make eye contact when making a toast.
Otherwise you run the risk of
suffering seven years of bad sex.
I didn't know you were supersticious.
When it comes to that shit,
I don't take any chances! - Okay.
Cheers!
So, how are you two doing? Still enjoying your little
love nest? - Yes. Everything's fine.
You're not wearing your ring.
I forgot to put it back on after my shower.
Eva got a job.
Is that right? - Yes.
Yeah, she was supposed to start today, actually. But,
given the situation...
I guess it will start when things
calm down a bit. - That sucks.
Must be hard toget over things when you just
spend all your time alone here.
Not as hard as pretending everything's fine.
Music. That's what was missing.
Hey, Eva. You might like the new
novel I'm working on. - Really?
Oh yeah. It's about betrayal and deception.
See? It's really about a lonely housewife
who spends all her time
alone at home.
Until one day,
while her husband is away on a business trip...
she-- This just in.
authorities have officially denied rumors that
the current pandemic is due to the
deliberate release of bacteria, toxins,
or viruses by any government agency. Also of note,
with the sudden increase in reports of
acute violence, it has been suggested
that blind rage might be one of the outbreak symptoms.
Therefore, authorities are urging everyone
to be very cautious and to report any
suspicious to local authorities. But, most importantly,
citizens are advised to stay indoors and remain calm.
We'll bring you more updates
as they become available,
so please stay tuned to this station.
That sounds nuts.
It's almost like something out
of a zombie movie.
Brains!
BRAINS!
I made you laugh! See that? I made him laugh!
It's good to make him laugh. You should try it sometime.
Oh come on...
don't be such a sourpuss!
Humour is
good to aleviate tensions. And I
think we all need to lighten up a bit.
Enough!
- Eva, please.
Tell me, James.
Do you have someone in your life right now?
No. But I'm looking.
If you know anybody...
Ah! Still single. That explains why you
keep shoving your nose in other people's business.
Please... - Stop it, Sam!
Is your life so fucking miserable
that you revel in people's misery?
Do you get such a sick kick out of knowing that our life
is falling apart that you have to come here to witness it all?
You know what James?
You're just a fucking loser.
You're a meaningless drama whore
and nobody gives a shit
about you or your work! No one! -Eva! That's enough!
James, I'm sorry, I think maybe-- - You!
You, out of all fucking people, have no--
- James, are you
all right? You fucking
cunt Fucking liar!
Get out! Get out!
James What the fuck are you doing? - Get out!
That fucking bitch... - Get Out!
I don't want to be sick... I don't want to be sick...
Calm down, calm down! You're fine.
I don't want to be sick... I don't want to be sick...
You're fine!
- Don't tell me to calm down!
How do you know?! - You're just shaken up.
You need to relax, okay?
He thinks he can just come in here and pry...
Come, I'm gonna run you a bath. Let's go.
I'll go get rid of it.
What's wrong? - I...
I thought...
Nothing.
It was nothing.
Sorry I scared you.
Not to panic, but we must announce that
this television station and all its networks
are shifting into emergency mode and
instituting an all-channel alert.
Again, this is not a test
This announcement will be followed by
a list of emergency notification
phone numbers and a blue screen.
We will resume broadcasting as soon as it
is safe to do so. Stay safe and stay calm.
Emergency help line, what is your emergency?
- Hi, I'm afraid my wife might be
infected. - Is she feverish
or having coughing fits?
No.
- Has she been acting erratic or been prone to
losing her temper. - No.
She'll be fine, sir.
- She's been in contact with an infected person.
What kind of contact? - Our neighbor was over
he's sick and he coughed up blood on her.
Did she breathe in or swallow any of it? - No, of course not.
Sir, I don't see any reason to be alarmed
at the moment. Keep a closeppwatch on her
and stay at home. If anything manifest,
bring her to one of ourppmedical shelters immediately.
- Can you tell me what this virus is, exactly?
We're not at liberty to disclose such information,
but we do have the situation under control.
What does that mean, not at liberty to disclose?!
Sir, I need to ask you to remain calm. - Don't tell me to
remain calm. Our lives are in danger.
Sir, have you been feeling feverish? - No.
It's chaos out there my friends. Death, quarantine, cannibalism...
God is dead. And if God is dead, that
leaves a void to be filled.
Power vacuums never go unfilled for long, friends. It's the law
of the universe, the natural order.
... So it make perfect sense
that our trusted, chosen leaders,
the power hungry people in grey I've warned you about...
That they would step in and take control.
Because that's what they always do.
We've given them permission.
They have absolute power.
and it's ours fault
They are our elected law-makers.
They decide what's right and wrong.
They decide who we go to war against.
They even decide what we can do with our bodies.
They're essentially, already God.
Sam!
What's going on?
He was trying to get in. I saw a man, I think it was James.
You sure?
- You gave him a key when you left for New York, remember?
He gave it back to me.
- Look, someone was trying to unlock the door!
Are you sure it was our door. You know we always
hear the neighbors when they open their door.
I'm not crazy! - I never said you were!
Look, I'll make sure nobody gets in. Okay?
Thank you.
And if you're paying attention,
you'll see they're not a God of love, no.
They are a cruel and angry God.
What does God do when he's angry?
He clears the deck and starts again.
Come in.
There is no way out. There is no hope.
-Hey! It's survival of the fittest.
How are you feeling? - Good.
Still a bit shaken up, but
I feel rested.
What are you listening to? - They've been broadcasting
stories about people who've been infected
I've been scanning
trying to get information, but
nobody seems to agree on what the virus is.
I just want to make sure you're okay.
I feel fine.
...to assess everyone's physical state.
We will be taken to the medical shelters
where we will be exposed to the disease.
That is if we haven't already been infected.
in a sicklystate, all will is lost.
Your body become a compound of flesh and bones.
Wait, no!
Are you fucking crazy?
It's not safe to breathe what's out there!
Are you trying to make sure we're infected?!
I feel like I'm dying.
We're constantly breathing the same recycled air!
- Oh now you want fresh air!
Since when has getting out of this apartment been such a priority?!
Have you stopped to think for one second, that the reason
we're not infected is that we haven't gone outside.
Hey, where are you going? - This shit is making you crazy!
I'm not gonna let you infect me!
Guess what?
What? - It's for real this time!
I still have to go to the clinic
this afternoon for confirmation, but
all the tests are positive!
Oh my God! I'm gonna be a father!
You really have no idea how happy you make me!
I can't believe it. We're gonna have a baby!
I don't want you to worry about anything, alright.
I won't.
- I'm gonna take care of everything.
I'm gonna redecorate the studio, make it into another bedroom.
My studio?
It's the only other room.
Of course. Duh.
Hello? - Hi! You tried calling me?
- Hi mom!
I have good news! - Yes.
I'm pregnant!
- Oh honey,
are you sure? - Yes,
I just did three tests.
No, no, I mean are you sure that this is what you want?
Of course.
We've been trying for so long.
I know. - Aren't you happy for me?
Of course, I'm happy for you, honey.
It's just that I wanna make
sure that you've thought of everything.
Of your career.
You that it's gonna take you a while
to lose that baby weight, right?
I mean, you ain't getting younger.
But my gawd, you're too young
to be stuck doing catalogue work.
Eva, honey, I just don't want you to
make the same mistake that I did.
Look, I won't open the window. Don't you trust me?
That should do it.
Sam! Get the fuck out of my room.
Hello? Speaking. Fine, thanks. How are you?
No, no, it's no problem.
Of course, yes, I'd love to.
I can think of someone.
Yes, I can get someone. No problem.
No, I can work within those delays.
Great. Just send me the information
and I'll make all the arrangements.
Excellent. No, thank you very much.
Good bye. - What was that about?
This is a great gig.
They want me to create
a series of test shots
for a new ad campaign
in New York.
It's part of a whole new marketing strategy merging fine art
and advertising.
They're asking different photographers to each
create a series that reflects their own vision
for the campaign.
I have total creative control. - Wow!
That's so great! I'm happy for you.
So, when are we leaving?
Well... Given the situation...
- But, I'm not even showing yet!
Why would you do that?
It's just... we works so well
together and you know this would be good for my career.
I know. I just...
I would rather you stay here and rest.
There will be other opportunities.
Better ones. After the baby is born.
This was our song.
Every time I hear it, I think of you.
Are you ever gonna tell me what happened?
Why we're falling apart?
Do you remember how happy we were?
Mommy?
Hi! - Mom? I need to talk to you.
What's the matter? Is the baby okay?
Yeah. The baby's fine. It's just...
I don't think I can do it. - Oh, darling,
it's normal to have doubts. Everything is gonna be fine.
You're gonna be a great mommy. You'll see.
No, I can't.
- Now, Eva,
stop worrying.
You'll find a way to get rid of that
extra weight once the baby is born.
- What?
No, it's not what
I'm talking about. - Well, what then?
It's just Sam. He's so...
different. - Well, he's probably just
stressed. That's normal. - I don't feel like
he's attracted to me anymore. - Well, you know, I
can understand that if you're letting yourself go and wearing
those ugly, baggy clothes. I mean goodness,
put on some makeup.
Everything will be fine.
You just give it some time.
I'm so sorry, mom, I gotta go.
I love you. Bye.
Hi, you've reached Sam, please leave a message.
Sam.
Something happened.
I'm fine,
but, Jonas...
I lost the baby.
I'm so sorry. This is hard.
I'm so sorry, Jonas.
Eva!
Eva, is everything alright? Sam just called.
Fuck.
Oh, fuck. Oh, Shit.
Hello? Yeah, I need an ambulance.
My neighbor, she's lost a lot of blood.
I don't know... You need to send
somebody right now.
967 Riverside. It's apartment 417. Hurry!
Eva, everything is gonna be okay, alright?
The ambulance is coming.
James...
- Doctors says you need at least a week of bedrest.
You know, you can call me day or night. Whatever you need, I'll be here.
Thank you. I'm not doing this for you.
I'm doing this for Sam.
He can never know.
- Oh, he'll know.
He's gonna know everything.
If you say anything,
I'll say that you came on to me.
You snuck in here, in the middle of the night,
that you raped me.
And that caused me to miscarry.
Jonas...
I'm feeling so numb...
but you have no idea how much I love you.
I just need some time.
Once this is over,
we'll be so happy together.
And safe.
And I'll protect you...
... and I'll make sure
nothing ever happens to you.

Cholera. 1900. Bubonic plague.

This current epidemic is our demise.
Misinformation maintains social chaos. Social chaos facilitates
genocide. Genocide goes hand in hand
with modern power.
By keeping us misinformed
they're keeping us in a vulnerable state. Sam! Right where they want us.
Did you get the message?
The troops have marched into the city
blocking an entry or exit point,
keeping the able bodied in check.
It all makes sense now.
This ingenius plan to gain control over our bodies... Can you see?
We are their test subjects, the guinea pigs
of the new world order.
Those who do not fall victim
to their sickness will join their ranks
and together they will form a new elite.
The sick are being weeded out
with intricately engineered biological warfare.
This biochemical stratagem was planned from the start:
release a pathogen, test its effects, weed out the weak.
And with the survivors, form a new, greater society.
Power is a right of seizure, of possessions,
time, bodies, lives.
In a sickly state, all will is lost.
Your body becomes a compound of flesh
and bones that can be controlled,
that can be experimented with...
Do you understand?
...and optimized to serve the interest of the new
ruling class. You serve the needs of the few,
there is no choice, there is no free will.
Sam!
Come on,
it's not funny! Let me in!
Eva!
So glad you finally decided to join us.
Eva...
Why, why, why?
When this whole thing started
I didn't know what to make of it.
Then it became obvious.
This plague
is a sign.
To put us back on track.
When James came here the other night,
I wanted so badly to be
the one on the receiving end.
Not you.
my sweet angel.
You've already been through so much pain.
What a blind fool I was.
Isn't it funny
how people always turn to religion for answers,
when so often the truth is right in front of them.
Sam! Please...
Sam... I'm not sick.
Sam.
Look at me.
I'm fine.
For all we know, the epidemic is over by now.
I'm surethe authorities have managed to contain the virus and
they're just waiting to announce it.
James was sick.
But I'm not. Don't you think some
of the symptoms would have been showing by now?
Please,
untie me.
You
are
sick.
Can you blame for wanting to keep a little piece of him?
You can't blame me for holding onto this.
For still loving him.
- I felt so guilty for abandonning you.
For putting my career before you
and then Jonas.
Think I was somehow responsible for
your miscarriage.
No, Sam.
Look, no.
I can explain.
You don't understand!
No, Sam, no, no, no--
The darkness in your soul is starting to seep through.
Sam!
Sam, no!
Our first visitor!
Hey man! You're all settled in?
Yeah, come on in, neighbor!
So, do I finally get to meet the special lady?
- Eva, this is James,
James, this is Eva. - Wow.
I didn't think it was possible, but you look even more stunning
in person. - Thank you!
It's a pleasure to meet you. - Likewise.
Thank you so much for telling Sam
about this apartment. - You like it?
It's perfect. - Well, I'm glad.
I'll leave you lovebirds to it.
And whatever it is you're doing,
keep doing it.
I don't remember the last time I've seen this guy so happy.
I will.
The man said: "The woman you put here with me,
she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it."
And the lord God said to the woman:
"What is this you have done?"
The woman said:
"The serpent deceived me and I ate."
So the Lord said to the serpent:
"Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals.
You will crawl on your belly and eat dust,
all the days of your life."
To the woman, that's you,
he said: "I will make
your pains in childbearing very severe.
Through painful labor, you
will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for you husband.
He will rule over you."
Do you still desire me, Eva?
To Adam,
he said:
"Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree
about which I told you 'you must not eat from it',
cursed is the ground because of you.
Through painful toil
you will eat from it all the days of your life.
It will produce thorns and thistles for you.
By the sweat of your brow, you will eat your food
until you return to the ground.
For dust you are and to dust you will return."
Now, what do we learn from this passage?
That I shouldn't blame you,
because you are
flawed.
Since the very beginning,
women have been creating suffering and misery.
I shouldn't have let my guard down.
But we can start anew!
There.
Isn't that better?
You see this? This is a dead thing!
No, no, no, no, don't cry.
We have to destroy to rebuild.
Don't you want to rebuild with me?
Eva, don't fight me.
I am doing this for your own good.
Because I love you.
You are
rotten to the core, but I will help
heal your wounds.
Will you cooperate?
Drink this. Come on. It's for your own good!
Don't you want us to be happy?
Dammit, Eva.
Drink!
There.
That wasn't so bad, was it?
Sam...
I beg you...
Please help...
Jonas!
Shhh!
It's okay. It's okay.
Oh my God.
No. Stop
crying! It's okay my love,
mommy will be fine.
One more.
Sam?
Make me a baby.
