Dr Rasmussen is in his house perusing some sketches. They seem to disturb him and he
picks them up before kissing his wife. He then takes a knife from the kitchen and goes out into
the snow where he decides to do something horrible. The sketch laying in the snow has
words written on it that may trigger the man! Dr Layton is giving a speech where he introduces
a new memory enhancing medicine called A9913. He suggests that it can help you achieve full memory
recall - sight, taste, touch and smell. It is instant access to unlimited joy.
Outside, he meets with Dr Jerrems who has been developing the A9913 medicine.
Jerrems tells Layton that the results are promising but they still do not have
FDA approval due to the limited human trials. Some time later, a group of people are recruited
to take part in clinical trials for A9913. They are informed that 50% of the recruits
will receive the pills and the others will receive a placebo. All participants will be
confined to the upstairs dorms where they will be monitored continuously. They are told to
report any atypical sensations experienced but must not discuss them with other volunteers.
The volunteers are shown around the facility and taken to their dorms.
Anna meets two other volunteers named Kristen and Scratch. Kristen is taken away to get her
dose and Anna is left alone. They are being observed from
behind a two way mirror by Jerrems. As Anna gets her dose, she meets a
guy named Den. Anna is having second thoughts but decides to go through with the trial regardless.
A guy named Marcus challenges Anna to a game of pool but Den takes his challenge instead.
It seems that Den is about to lose but the pill appears to take effect on Marcus.
Marcus is taken away to see the Doctor and soon after, Kristen succumbs to the effects as well.
Marcus tells Jerrems that he experienced events before they played out. Marcus is
told to return to the others but to keep his experience to himself. As he leaves,
Kirsten is brought in to tell her story. Kristen speaks with the others - telling them that
her experience was like deja vu. Scratch suggests that maybe she is just remembering the future
because on a quantum level, time is not linear. That night, Jerrems receives a call from Layton
informing him that Dr Rasmussen's body has been discovered. He tells him of the sketches that
were found at the scene and Jerrems looks at some similar sketches that he holds in a file.
As Jerrems goes silent, Layton changes his destination to the research facility.
Anna wakes during the night and goes to the bathroom. Suddenly she hears screaming and
runs back to the bedroom. The door is locked and she can see the girls
inside struggling to breathe. The numbers 5260 are written on the window in blood.
However, this seems to be a case of her remembering the future. She
is in the bathroom and returns to the bedroom to find everything is normal.
Anna gathers her things and demands to be let out. She wakes up a nurse named Curtis who sees
her trying to smash a window. The others wake and she yells about what she saw and how everyone is
going to die. Curtis restrains her and administers a sedative before taking her away to see Jerrems.
Curtis asks if it is happening again before he returns to look in on the
others. Jerrems explains to Anna that she is experiencing a rare side effect.
He asks what she saw and then tells her that things are about to get much worse for her.
He tells her that they will talk further when she is feeling better.
He leaves her strapped to a bed. Marcus wakes Kristen and tells her
that he's leaving. She goes with him but they are noticed by Den who decides to leave with them.
As they leave, Den decides to find Anna. They find themselves on the other side of
the two way mirror and watch as Curtis is killed. They are horrified but as someone
else tries to enter the room, they make their way outside where they are joined by Scratch.
Anna wakes and manages to escape from her bonds. She experiences another vision
before realizing that she is still bound. Outside, Den accuses Scratch of killing Curtis
but he suggests that this may simply be one of their visions. Kristen wants to leave but
Den says that they can’t leave everyone else up there knowing what's going on.
The others reluctantly return leaving Scratch in the van.
Upstairs, the other volunteers start to wake as there is a smell coming from the vents.
Everyone starts to cough violently - just as they did in Anna’s vision.
Anna manages to go to the bathroom. Suddenly she hears the screams and runs to the bedrooms.
Marcus stops her from breaking the glass telling her that it’s mustard
gas inside and that they are already dead. Anna breaks down proclaiming that it all came
true. Marcus wants to know what else she has seen but then they notice that Kristen is missing.
She is in the bathroom and finds blood on the door. She becomes paranoid that someone
is chasing her so she hides in the laundry chute. She falls down and gets caught up in
some barbed wire. Someone follows her down the chute and pushes her through the wire.
Marcus, Den and Anna go to the exit point of the chute but cannot see Kristen. Den speculates that
someone knew that they were going to be there - someone who had taken the pill A9913 perhaps -
maybe even someone from a previous study. Marcus pressures Anna to remember anything
else she may have seen. As she thinks, she suddenly yells that they need to get out.
They run to the lobby but the door is locked. They try to attract Scratch’s attention. He is
still in the car but doesn’t notice them. Den checks the security cameras but one by
one they go off. They decide to go and find Jerrems and head to his office.
Scratch decides to go back inside and finds entry through a garage
door. Inside he stumbles upon some sketches of himself with hands around his neck.
In Jerrem’s office, they watch a video where a guy named Pascal is being interviewed. Pascal
turns to the camera and asks Den if he has worked out the writing on the bunk room
wall yet? Anna states that the interview was conducted 6 months ago before realizing that
the writing was not 5260 but 5-2-GO - indicating the number of survivors remaining at that point.
Suddenly the phone rings - it is Scratch who has been looking for them. He tells them that
there is a safe room in the basement so maybe they could hide out there till morning.
Anna tells them that she has had a vision of both of them dying and suggests that if they go
somewhere that she hasn’t seen then maybe they can derail fate. Marcus picks up a knife and despite
Den’s warning he takes it with him. Meanwhile in the garage,
Scratch injects himself with some medicine.. Anna reveals to Den that she had a vision of
him drowning and of Marcus dying in a hallway. They soon discover Jerrems, who has hidden in
the safe room and won’t let them in. They demand to know about Pascal.
Meanwhile downstairs, Scratch returns to the car where he is stabbed - but this turns out
to be a vision. He chooses instead to return to the garage. As he tries to
enter he is grabbed at - another vision. He now stands outside in the snow unsure what to do.
Jerrems explains that Pascal was the first test subject to have the visions as side
effects. They continued to administer him the pill but the effects were cumulative
and he had a psychotic break. They stopped dosing him but his brain continued to produce
the effects and he stopped experiencing time linearly. He had to be committed.
Den produces a sketch of Jerrems with the exact same words written on it. It seems that Pascal is
trying to force Jerrems to take horrible action so that the A9913 can no longer be produced.
Scratch eventually decides to return to the garage where he is grabbed,
but he runs back to the car and gets stabbed. Marcus asks Jerrems whether Pascal controls the
visions or if they control him but he is unsure. He wonders if Pascal is killed,
will the visions still come true? They realize that Pascal is trying to erase
all traces of the A9913 which includes killing them. Marcus speculates that Anna’s visions can't
come true if she can't see them happening. He wants to tie Anna up but Den disagrees.
There is a bang at the door. In panic, Marcus tries to knock out Anna but Den holds him
back. In the ensuing struggle, Marcus has no choice left. He is injured by the decision
and crawls away into the corridor and dies. Den thinks that Pascal had no intention of
coming in as he knew what was going to happen. Anna thinks that they should separate as if she
isn’t with him then she can’t see him die and so it will change his fate.
Den has an idea - they go to the roof and he makes her land in a snow drift. He calls down to her to
get help whilst he goes to search for Pascal. In the car, she discovers Scratch and Kristen’s
bodies. Anna realizes that her vision of Kristen dying in the bathroom was wrong so she reverses
the car into the building to get back inside. Anna confronts Jerrems about the visions. Kristen
was the only one who didn’t know how she was going to die. She speculates that this
is more of a self fulfilling prophecy and by telling the others it influenced their
decision making. She asks if Pascal’s visions always came true and Jerrems confirms this to
be the case because he took so much of the medicine. Consequently, Anna injects more.
Den finds himself at the pool and meets Pascal who stabs him before throwing him
in the pool. Anna arrives and battles with Pascal before Den pulls him into
the pool where Den manages to overcome him. Den climbs out but this was just Pascal’s vision.
Pascal is about to stab Den when Anna bursts in. Instead he rolls Den into the pool and
makes his escape while Anna saves Den. Layton arrives and finds Jerrems in the
safe room. They argue before Layton drops his cigar on the floor, igniting a fluid that has
been dripping through the ceiling. Both men are killed in the blaze.
Anna and Den make their way outside. She sees Pascal watching from the roof as the
sun rises and sirens blare in the distance. If you want to watch more on Movie Shortens,
