hey what's up guys
today I'll show you a Norwegian horror anthology:
"Bloodride, season 1 episode 4, Lab Rats "
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
On a dark and rainy night, an old bus parks on the street
Under the dim road lamplight, a man is walking to the bus
Once he comes onboard, he slowly removes his jacket, and rolls up his sleeves
And then he looks at the seats, which are all empty
All set, the driver starts the vehicle
He tilts the mirror to allow him the best angle to observe the cabin
By now, the once empty seats are all occupied
So the bus drives into the heavy rain
The passengers wear strange facial expressions
A few of them turn back to see the rear seats, including the female writer in Episode 3
The standing passenger also looks at the back
At this time, a white rat appears
In a flash, the rat shows up on a lady's shoulder
It sniffs, as if to search for something
And then, the camera focuses on the five people at the rear of the bus
Edmund, CEO of the pharmaceutic company, is holding a celebratory party on his own rooftop
With ten years of research and lab tests,
his team has successfully developed an anti-depressant drug, that is said to have no side effects
Edmund's company has outdone their competitor in the field with the launch,
earning their seat among the world-famous pharmaceutic firms
At the party, Edmund praises the team's effort, and even likens them to be his family members
In a warm ambiance, Edmund first extends his gratitude to his assistant and a veteran staff
And then, he briefly comments on the wisdom and hard work of the old researcher,
short-named Senior, before he spends more time to praise the young one, short-named Junior
Edmund calls Junior the young Einstein,
and emphasizes that Senior would be still working in the lab without Junior's contribution
Junior is rather humble, and just returns the comment with a positive smile
But Senior is clearly unhappy upon hearing such words
But no one would care about Senior's feelings
At last, Edmund thanks his Wife, for always putting up with his crazy work schedules
He invites the employees to proceed with a barbecue dinner
Everyone celebrates success, looking forward to venison
A white rat specimen is placed on the table
At the back of the specimen, Edmund and his team are enjoying delicious venison
Edmund at the dinner party is particularly casual, and even arrogantly teases his rivalry
It is because the rival company has not responded to Edmund's upcoming launch of the new drug
Edmund concludes that his opponent has thrown in the towel, and victory surely belongs to him
In excitement, he takes up Assistant's hand,
and teaches her the rules and regulations of the corporate world
Senior hints the rest that Edmund is going to mention his three golden rules
As expected, Edmund explains to Assistant with a serious tone that,
rule number one is to be the smartest person
Wife is embarrassed by their intimacy
Needless to say, Edmund's eyes are full of Assistant now,
and he has no way to notice Wife's jealousy
He continues to explain that the second rule is to trust only yourself and no one else
But the last rule is nothing constructive, but a joke to make everyone laugh
Edmund takes the chance to affirm Junior as the wisest man in the company
His words humiliate Senior,
the very researcher who has worked behind the scenes through these years
It is unfair that his hard labor over the years goes unnoticed
In angst, Senior decides to take more drinks
At this time, the veteran staff wants to have a look at the prototype of the new drug
Edmund gladly accommodates her request
However, when he opens the safe, he is shocked to find it missing
Edmund does not return to the dining hall immediately
He shrewdly visits the monitor room, and investigates the surveillance video
Edmund learns from the person in charge,
short-named Security, that today there is no other visitor, except those who attend the dinner
This means the culprit is hidden among the five guests
In order to catch the thief, Edmund returns to the dining hall, and briefly explains what happened
And then, he has everyone's body searched
Though unwilling, they could only obey what he says
Meanwhile, Assistant stands up to dissuade Edmund, but to no avail
Edmund walks straight to her to conduct the search
In a fury, Wife goes to frisk Assistant one more time, and she squeezes her hormone mountains
Startled, Assistant returns to her seat
Edmund is clearly unsatisfied with the search result;
and he analyzes that the culprit must have regarded himself or herself to be even smarter than Edmund
Security orders everyone to strip off
No one takes his words seriously
Junior even laughs at him
But Security soon pulls out a gun, making it compulsory for the guests
Junior is the first to remove his clothes
Senior rebukes Edmund that this is too much
Edmund ignores his comment
The veteran staff objects at first; then, she silently takes off her attire
Wife is not spared of the shame, either
Edmund himself unties her dress
The five of them are only left with the undergarments
Edmund and Security begin to thoroughly search their bags and rooms
Still, nothing is found
Edmund's blood gets boiling;
and for the first time, he squeezes his brain juice to solve the problem,
rather than the hormone one as he always did in the past
Suddenly, he comes up with a plan, inspired by the rat
He decides to treat the five persons as his lab rats,
and locks them up in a transparent experiment lab
He makes the password of the lock to be exactly the same as that of the safe
As such, the culprit will expose himself by pressing the same combination
Edmund then enters the monitor room to observe their reactions
In the lab, the naked five are together with some real rats trapped in the glass container
All of a sudden, Senior's face twitches violently, giving the rest a big shock
The veteran staff helps to explain that it is Senior's normal behavior as he gets nervous
In order to evade the lab, they must find out the thief
Wife immediately points her finger at Assistant, for she really detests her
Wife claims that she has seen Assistant going into Edmund's office
And then, she reveals to the rest that Assistant is seducing her husband
Assistant firmly denies the claim,
and says that she does not even know how the prototype looks like
It would be absurd for her to steal something, which she did not even see before
She then shoots the arrow back at Wife,
accusing her of stealing the prototype first, and making her the scapegoat next
Furious, Wife attacks Assistant
While the rest watches their battle in silence, the veteran staff makes an effort to stop them
Now it is tenser in the lab, and Senior's face gets twitched again
As soon as he recovers, he defends himself
As the only shareholder in the lab, he has no motivation to take such a move
Having said that, Senior pushes the blame to Junior
It is because Edmund has ever promised to make the drug inventor the new partner
But so far, he has not fulfilled the promise
So Senior speculates that Junior must have stolen the prototype in revenge
Junior has no fear or shame in the face of such an accusation
He calmly points out that Senior is jealous of him as he invents the drug
Senior states that he does not mind it at all
At this moment in time, Wife adds that last month,
Senior grumbled in his own office that he made the drug, but Junior alone took the fame
Exposed, Senior admits that he envies Junior
But he always thinks that Junior's success is inseparable
from the solid foundation he has laid over the years
This time around, Junior does not shrink back, but stands up to confront Senior
He criticizes Senior's outdated algorithm,
and makes it clear that all the calculations are done by himself
Enraged, Senior knocks out Junior
At the same time, the container on the table is pushed to the floor
Rats escape the container and wander into the lab
Edmund has been watching them without any clues
Security suggests that the thief might have flushed down the prototype in the toilet
Edmund is furious at his wild guess, and scolds him for not doing background checks at hiring
He commands Security to check their backgrounds
Back to the lab, Senior falls into despair
He knows that if the thief does not own up, they will be trapped in the lab forever
But Wife is confident that her husband would not harm innocent lives
Knowing that Edmund would just do everything for money, Senior insists on his opinion
He then reveals the company's dark history back in 1999,
which the veteran staff and himself have witnessed
Years back, Edmund's company lost a lot of money, when its investment in Africa went sour
Without much a choice, they had to take some risks
Edmund offered his employees the chance to buy shares in the company;
so many invested their entire life savings
After that, Edmund went to the bank to file for bankruptcy, killing their lives and money at one go
Six months later, Edmund started another business, and felt no guilt about his heinous deeds
Back then, two employees had committed suicide,
but Edmund made no compensation to their families nor attended their funerals
This incident has fully exposed Edmund's true personality
Whenever Senior looks into Edmund's eyes, he could only see bottomless greed and desire
Having heard of such a fearful account, Wife still sides her husband and defends him
She is grateful for the fact that Edmund is gentle and caring to her
Senior sneers at her naive belief, and tells her that Edmund does not even remember her birthday
Each year, the veteran staff has to remind him of Wife's birthday
What is worse, even the annual birthday gifts are purchased by the veteran Staff
Edmund does nothing more than just present them to her
No matter what Wife brings up to clear her husband's name, Senior corrects her
In the control room, Edmund cannot sit still
He cannot afford to let things go out of control
By this time, Security has got some clues
Edmund does not hesitate, but proceeds to release poisonous gas in the lab
He announces to them that if the culprit does not own up in 5 minutes' time,
all of them will have to die
His harsh ruling throws the prisoners into chaos
Soon they begin to cough after inhaling the gas
In a pinch, Senior worries that Junior, who fainted, is the culprit
If he remains unconscious, the rest will die
So Senior awakens Junior to prevent him from being poisoned to death
Assistant suggests that everyone should anonymously write down the password they think of;
and they should try it one by one
This way, the identity of the thief will not be exposed
But Edmund does not approve of her plan
He turns off the gas valve
By this time, the rats have vomited blood and dropped dead, while the five suspects are struggling
Edmund emphasizes that he must find out the thief
Wife begs him to release her; but Edmund does not care a single bit about her
Finally, Assistant keys in the combination, evading the room together with the other four persons
Edmund immediately goes over to Wife, trying to console her
But Wife avoids him, for she is totally disappointed with Edmund, and her love is worn out
Assistant confesses her sins
She is a spy sent by the rival company, which loses the competition to Edmund
In fact, their new drug was invented 6 months after Edmund's
As long as she destroys the prototype, she can buy more time for the other company
However, Edmund is not convinced by such a say
6 months are sufficient to create another prototype, and the competitor will still fail
At last, Edmund releases Assistant
When he sends her off, he reveals her true reason behind the betrayal
It turns out that Assistant's father was an employee of Edmund
He invested his life savings into the company stocks share
When the investment failed, he committed suicide
So Assistant purposely joins the company to avenge her father
Even though Edmund indirectly kills Assistant's father, he shows no regret or fear
He is so confident that this dark secret would not do him harm in any form
Assistant upholds composure in the confrontation,
and teases Edmund that Wife would make him pay for what he does
But Edmund regards pacifying Wife as a piece of cake
He shrugs it off, saying that it just takes a few vacations to make her happy
Assistant points out that Wife would definitely pursue the matter of their affair
And then Assistant hugs Edmund, while one of her hands dips into Edmund's pocket
Edmund does not notice her hand's movement
Back to the company, Edmund discovers that someone else has touched his pocket
He realizes that the prototype might not be destroyed, but hidden in his pocket
He chases after Assistant, and orders her to return the prototype
Assistant obediently hands it back to him
Edmund curses her
It's revealed that when everyone enjoyed the rooftop party,
Assistant entered Edmund's office, and opened the safe to steal the prototype
When Edmund frisked her, she secretly slotted the prototype into his pocket
During the goodbye non-hormone hug, she withdraws it from the pocket
Back to the lab, Edmund boasts to Wife that he has obtained the prototype
Wife is completely not interested in his conceited speech
She pulls out a gun with a poker face, forcing Edmund to enter the lab
And then, she orders the veteran Staff to turn on the gas valve
Edmund has to unlock the door with Wife's birthday
Edmund tries to change Wife's mind by arousing her love for him
He claims that he loves Wife
Wife, however, is not brainwashed
She is firm that Edmund must key in the combination of her birthday to come out
Edmund does not remember Wife's birthday at all
In a Panic, he makes several attempts to no avail
Suddenly, he foams at the mouth, and falls to the ground
At last, he becomes one of lab rats, which dies of the gas
