Get the Hell Out

Hsiung campaigns to reject the chemical plant bill but is provoked by journalists aligned with the pro-construction faction. In a moment of anger she tries to punch a photographer, but security guard Wang steps in to restrain her. The incident exposes the volatile press-politics dynamic and sets the stage for her political downfall.

Li, leader of the pro-construction bloc, leverages the incident to publicly condemn Hsiung. The media backlash leads to pressure for her resignation, stripping her of her seat. The move cements Li's power and the bitter party rivalry.

Blaming Wang for the loss, Hsiung pressures him to run for her seat. His online popularity surges as he campaigns against the establishment, and he ultimately wins the election. The arc shifts him from bystander to a rising political figure.

At a press conference, Wang pledges support for the construction bill with a secret aim to infiltrate Li's faction and sabotage their efforts. The statement signals a calculated strategy rather than a straightforward endorsement. The move intensifies the factional power struggle.

On the day the president is to be questioned, Hsiung's father, a handyman, intends to assassinate the president. She scolds him and intervenes, revealing the fragility of loyalties within the city’s politics. The incident raises the stakes for the day’s proceedings.

Hsiung's father meets his old acquaintance Feng-hua, recalling a past romance. The two find a storage room inside the building where they share a private moment. This tangled personal history becomes intertwined with the unfolding crisis later.

Hsiung slips into the conference centre under the guise of Wang's assistant and communicates with him through an earpiece. Her real role is to guide the proceedings from behind the scenes as the crisis unfolds. The setup underlines the themes of manipulation and loyalty in a crisis.

The hearing begins as Li's faction seals the doors; chaos erupts when the president, who had visited the chemical plant, contracts rabies and mutates into a zombie. Panic spreads and the building becomes a trap for everyone inside. The virus transforms politics into a fight for survival.

From a balcony, Hsiung and others help Wang escape while Li's faction pursues him. Li attempts to kill Wang, but Hsiung defends him by revealing that rabies victims have red eyes, while Wang's eyes remain normal. As zombies flood in, the survivors scramble for safety.

Zombies attack; Wang is splattered with blood, and a zombie that touches him burns. This reveals that Wang's blood is immune to the virus, a critical discovery for the group's survival and potential vaccine developments. The dynamic shifts as immune individuals become focal points.

Li retrieves the key to an alternate passage and escapes toward the outside. He tries to extract Wang's blood to sell as a vaccine, delaying the group’s escape and exposing Li's opportunistic ruthlessness. The escape route remains contested as others fight to break free.

To give the others a chance to flee, Hsiung's father sacrifices himself, holding off the pursuing zombies. The sacrifice marks a pivotal moment of personal loss in the battle for survival. The remaining survivors scramble toward an exit.

The group corners Li in a bathroom; he has injected himself with the vaccine and mutated into a zombie-like entity. In a coordinated effort, Hsiung, Wang, and their allies defeat him. The defeat removes a key obstacle to escape.

Feng-hua volunteers to delay the advancing zombies, buying time for Hsiung, Wang, and Ku to slip out through a window. Her sacrifice ensures that a portion of the group can reach safety. The moment emphasizes selflessness in the face of disaster.

With most politicians dead and a rigged reelection looming, Wang tells Hsiung he will not run again. She refuses and marks the turn of their relationship with a kiss, solidifying their bond. In the final beat, a Li-lookalike gangster-politician confronts Wang in the Legislative Yuan, hinting at ongoing danger.
