ReGenesis s02e13 Episode Script
The End
Look how beautiful she was.
She has your mother's eyes.
Pretty soon I won't know who she is at all.
And when that day comes I want you to put a bullet in my head.
I need a beer.
The Guardsmen, they're getting better.
- What? - What You've got the cure? I do indeed.
I just don't know what it was we did cure.
I would really love to take a look at what's in that vial.
Can you get up here? I'm just as interested in this as you are, Doctor.
- I can be up there tomorrow.
- Great.
See you then.
Everyone's getting anxious about Henshaw.
I see.
I will.
Yes, sir.
Got a second for some really bad news? Me first.
Henshaw's dead.
We all have Lethargica at 11P43.
So it's intrinsic in the human genome? Has Jill seen this? I don't know.
I haven't seen her.
The question is, what woke it up? The Guardsmen had dramatic recoveries.
Within 24 hours, they were walking and talking.
Then they started to get sick again.
If this doesn't work then Jill's dead.
David, we cannot give her the anti-retroviral, we just heard three of the Guardsmen who received it have died.
Yeah, well, the 2 Guardsmen they found floating on that lake died too, and they didn't get the shot.
David, we should at least confirm it was Lethargica that killed them.
We don't even know its fatality rate.
Jill just fucking flatlined in there, so I guess for her it's 100%.
This is the only thing that's going to help her right now.
- For four days! And then what? - Goddamn it Carlos! This is Jill, okay? Four days is four fucking days! So you got any reason for not giving it to her? No.
Reasons for giving it to her? It buys us some time.
Then I need your help.
Yeah, okay.
I'll just be here two minutes, Mayko.
Two minutes.
Right.
Call me if there's any developments.
Hey, Dad.
Finally! Where you been all week? I was here yesterday, Dad.
Hi, Josephina.
Hello.
Brought you your mail.
Some papers there from your insurance company.
So, what you two been up to today? Oh, we just had a nice walk.
Yeah, we're talking about the Book of Revelation.
Toumas don't believe in a soul.
Well if you were him What's that web site called? secondcoming.
ca .
- You never heard such shit.
- Dad, I really should g-- Tell him what you told me.
The predictions of the Bible for the end of days, they are coming true right now.
Like those big hurricanes and tsunamis? Predicted right in the Bible.
Those could just be due to global warming.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Tell him about the plagues.
- What, of politicians? - And what about the fire falling from the sky in Mexico City? Well we think that's just a inversion that kind of - And a volcano, right? - Yeah.
Oh exactly, God controls the volcanoes.
You gonna answer that? No, it's a text message.
Look Dad, I got to get going, things are really crazy back at the lab.
Yeah, it's am It's amazing how many people still believe that crap.
You're in a good mood today.
Well, I've just realized one of the upsides of Alzheimer's.
- What's that? - You forget how stupid people can be.
Bob! Bob.
How's Jill? She's alive.
I got your text.
What's up? Jill's lab book.
The retrovirus that she sequenced in her stem cells It's Lethargica.
Same as the Guardsmen.
- That's a hell of a coincidence.
- That's no coincidence.
I'll get on it.
What else did you find out? It appears to attack our NK cells.
- Natural Killer cells.
- First thing it does: It knocks out the opposition's line of defense.
We're working on finding out if that's what allows phase two to develop.
McGuinn.
Connor.
Okay, what about McGill and Stanford? We asked them to concentrate on what's reactivating the retrovirus.
Mayko's going to stay on it.
Okay good.
I want you to work with Bob on phase 2.
One of the infected Guardsmen who got the anti-retroviral, - didn't get sick in phase 2.
- He didn't get sick? No, he's in a hospital in Akron.
They're checking him out.
Okay, that could be the key.
We need to know absolutely everything about that guy.
We're going to need some blood.
It could be a variation in his genes that's responsible.
Okay, I'll get you on a flight to Akron right away.
- Okay.
- Let's get to work.
I'm trying to figure out a timeline to see what started the whole infection.
Now if Jill got infected from the Lethargica from her accident, that was 10 days before we believe she collapsed.
So I backtracked 10 days from when the Guardsmen got sick.
And I get the last day of war games.
They'd won and were celebrating.
The party was supplied by their sergeant.
- You can narrow it to one day? - Well the next day some left and the previous 5 days they were split into two squads.
So the reactivating chemicals could've been put in something they ate.
Or something they drank, or vitamin pills, or their pillowcases, - or their tooth paste.
- I'll get samples on everything.
Well, if your time line works backwards, then it probably works forwards.
Which means Jill's dead in four days if we don't figure something out.
Okay, I want to do comparisons of Jill's blood fresh samples of the Guardsmen.
We have got to figure out if this phase 2 is a natural progression of the Lethargica or if it's being caused by the anti-retrovirals.
Good work, Mayko.
Mayko, I know you're really busy but I need a copy of everything that's on Wes' computer.
Okay.
Sure.
Is anything wrong? I don't know.
Can you break any encryptions? - Yeah - Okay, good.
Thanks.
And Wes doesn't need to know.
Okay.
Call me when you get there.
So the only difference between phase 1 and phase 2 of this Lethargica is the level of immune response? Way higher after the Army's anti-retroviral was administered.
Why? Find out.
Hey, Jill.
These are from Bob.
I couldn't get my shit together, as usual.
He says I should talk to you, so Let's see Carlos shot you full of that anti-retroviral.
Worked on the Guardsmen in about 24 hours, so you should be surfacing pretty soon.
And Oh hey Want to watch some TV? You're much easier to get along with when you're unconscious.
In Jerusalem this morning, Chief Rabbis revealed the existence of an entirely red heifer.
You believe this shit? According to tradition, this rare phenomenon is the first sign of the Messiah.
- The red heifer was found - Oh, Christ.
Enough of that.
Well I guess we can finally talk about New York.
I mean, I wanted to before but then things just got all crazy and Owen showed up And that happened.
And you basically told me to fuck off, so But what I wanted to talk to you about What I wanted to tell you, was that something Something occurred to me in New York.
Which is that well when we have sex, No, I mean, not just sex, but when we even talk, you know, or fight, as the case may be, or even when I just see you at work It's like It's like everything I need.
Yeah.
It's like I see you and I'd be happy to never eat, or do anything, ever again.
If I could just be with you.
And I've never felt that way about anybody ever.
And now the thought that you might get taken away from me by This this fucking thing.
So I'm going to make you a deal, okay? Cause I know you don't feel the same way about me.
And I know I bug you about it all the time, so You just wake up now, okay? And just get better on your own and I And I will force myself to forget about us.
And how it feels.
And I won't bother you about it ever again.
Okay? Just wake up now.
Okay.
You take your time.
I'm just going to wait here for a while.
Just checking.
I guess you've got to be a prince for that to work.
David Hey! You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
We have 12,000 US troops down.
- But the press is reporting 180.
- Good.
They're not onto the full extent of this yet.
- You're sure it's Lethargica? - Yes.
Any of these troops come in contact with the Guardsmen? No.
How did this infect my chief virologist? She has 4 days to live, Connor.
I thought she caught it from the Guardsmen.
Cairo Embassy is reporting that Egypt is on full alert.
And we're investigating tank movements in the Sinai.
- Jesus.
- She didn't handle their samples and the timeline is wrong.
She got it from that supposed accident.
Caroline, I got 12,000 sick troops, in a few minutes I have to make a recommendation to the President.
I need to know if NorBAC is anywhere near a cure.
- No.
- Within a week? We're doing everything we can, Connor.
- What's David's call? - How much anti-retroviral do you have? - I'm not sure.
- Find out and start giving it to the soldiers.
It'll buy us some time.
If these soldiers don't get better, we're going to have to call up more troops.
They need us in the Oval Office now.
I want you to hit this hard, Caroline.
If we don't stop this, all hell's going to break loose.
We're not doing very well, Stefan.
It'll be all right, Vincent.
We made it into Canada.
Everything's fine.
- What if he doesn't believe us? - Then we have no one.
- We blew it.
- No.
They blew it.
They sent it too soon.
We should never have trusted them.
No, we should have had more time to make sure the cure worked.
- We were naive.
- Foolish.
Stupid.
- Stefan - Yes? If he doesn't believe us We're going to be fine, all right? We'll be together.
How much longer? Three hours maybe.
I'm sorry, Stefan.
Me too, Vincent.
Me too.
The Jews believe the Messiah will come to rebuild the Temple.
The Christians believe Jesus will return after a Third Temple is built.
And then there will be a huge war.
Muslims believe an Antichrist figure will be a Jew who attacks the Muslims.
Right, and all three events happen at the exact same location: the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
- Hey David.
How's Jill? - She's comin' around.
- Where's Caroline? - Washington.
But see you need the ashes of a virgin flawless red heifer.
Every single hair has to be red, in order to purify those who will rebuild the Temple.
Isn't that genetically impossible? What is it, David? Lethargica retrovirus on the human genome.
Where is it again? - Fuck.
- What? - That's Jill's handwriting.
- I know, Bob.
It's what she copied down from the Manford brothers' board in Chicago.
Look! Yeah well, those Brothers didn't look like Al-Qaeda to me.
- Maybe they were hired.
- Yeah.
By the US army.
- To knock out their own soldiers? - Well, then explain why the White House is refusing to let the press know how widespread this is.
The big fear is that the Muslim states might seize the opportunity to invade Israel.
Whatever, I will leave peace in the Middle East to you.
But I'm telling you, we need to find the Manford brothers, so they can explain to us what the fuck is going on and help us come up with a solution.
Because we are no closer to finding one and Jill is running out of time.
What? Yeah.
No, no, no.
I'll be right there.
- Where are you going? - Hospital.
- Hey.
- In a rush, Mayko.
- Not now! - We got the autopsy reports from the 2 dead Guardsmen who didn't get the anti-retroviral.
- Lethargica? - Yeah.
Did they have any inflammation of the blood vessels? No.
Okay, so that suggests that the relapse has nothing to do with the natural progression of Lethargica.
- When's Carlos back from Ohio? - Later tonight.
Okay.
Thanks, Mayko.
No, no, no.
I'll be right there.
- Where are you going? - Hospital.
- Connor McGuinn.
- Connor, it's Caroline.
Hey, Caroline.
I need you to arrest the Manford brothers.
What? Who? That investigation in Chicago? The two brothers who sent a bottle of wine to Bush? - Yeah, you found it was nothing.
- Well, David thinks they're the ones who found a way to wake Lethargica up.
- The Manfords are behind this? - It's the best lead we have so far.
Alright.
I'll get Homeland on it see if we can't round them up.
Five more of the Guardsmen are dead as of this morning.
Shit.
- Okay, well, keep me posted.
- Absolutely.
Okay, so I've been through Wes's computer.
First thing we gotta do is find his backup drive, if he's hiding anything, that's where it's going to be.
But get this.
The emails he deleted, I was able to recover them.
There's all this stuff about Harlan Sendak.
- David's friend? - Yeah.
Why would they want stuff on gay gene research? Well, there's other stuff.
Testosterone.
Animal genetics.
Proteomics.
I can't stay here.
- We just want to make sure you're fine.
- I'm fine.
We heard that before.
Can we just Can we just get back to this, okay? We don't need a lab to figure out this part.
Mayko said that the Guardsmen were on maneuvers, some kind of a war game and they won and celebrate with beer and pizza.
And the Manfords were working with wine.
Yeah.
What's in wine, beer and pizza? - Sugar, water - Yeast.
The brothers were using yeast in their experiments! I was using a yeast extract for my retrovirus.
What? - Hey David, how's Jill doing? - She wants to get out of here.
- She's fine! - It might be a good idea to listen to her.
- What do you mean? - Your friend Harlan Sendak.
His research was sent to Washington.
He died.
Dr.
Henshaw was on his way to help us.
He died.
You think somebody is tying up loose ends? I do, David.
I really do.
- Okay.
- What? Get dressed.
Thank you.
The question is, why did the garden-variety yeast extract that NorBAC buys have the reactivator in it? Was it an accident, or was it contaminated? I don't know.
Hey Bob.
Bob.
Yeast extract that Jill used for her retrovirus work.
I need you to dig it up.
It's in the corner, under the shelf with all my journals on it.
Catch that? Yeah, we think it might have the reactivator in it "Wow" is right.
So I need you to rip it apart, okay? Thanks.
Do you really think someone wants me dead? I don't know.
Let's just get out of here as quietly as possible.
You want to protect me? Buy me a pit bull and get me back to the lab.
- Let Caroline do some digging first.
- Okay, you know what? Just - What? - Stop.
Stop.
Okay, just let me go first, okay? Just in case there is somebody.
Thank you.
in the last six months.
To the same number in Washington.
Come on, Wes, this is secret agent bullshit.
You've got a cell phone registered to a T.
Martin.
And you only call another cellphone registered to a T.
Martin.
Alright.
Let's talk about Harlan Sendak's research.
Where did you send the original data? Who are you really working for, Wes? Did T.
Martin instruct you - to infect Jill with Encephalitis Lethargica? - That's not what he said would happen.
What exactly did he say would happen? I was asked to assist with Homeland Security.
- Yeah, you already told me that.
- Caroline, please.
There was talk of shutting down NorBAC.
They were unhappy with David.
And with you, quite frankly.
My loyalty is first and foremost to my country.
The only reason that I'm talking to you now is because of Jill.
I was told that she would go into quarantine.
Who told you? I had no idea that she might fall into a coma.
I am sorry.
Who is T.
Martin? General Brian Coffey.
Your contact at Homeland Security? Who does he report to? - He's just a voice on that cellphone.
- Just a voice, Wes? I was approached by Agent Miller - from Homeland Security.
- Why in hell should I believe you now? Because this time we have everything to lose.
It's just for one night, okay? Do you really think this will be over in a night? Fuck.
I don't know.
Okay? Come on.
What's What's going on? Nothing.
You want a beer, or something to eat? No.
I want you to talk to me.
Okay.
Okay God.
What? All of the Guardsmen except one They all got sick again Okay.
It starts with a fever, and then there's inflammation of the blood vessels and aneurysm.
And How fast? Four to five days after you get the shot.
Wow.
So I have tree and a half days to live? - No.
No.
- Is that what you're telling me? No.
Cause we're going to figure it out, right? We're going to figure it out.
But you needed to know the truth.
- Shit.
- Dr.
Sandstrom.
Dr.
Sandstrom.
It's Stefan Manford.
And Vincent.
We need to speak to you.
Don't.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Can we come in? Stefan, Vincent You want to tell me what the fuck is going on!? We need your help.
They're trying to kill us.
Join the fucking club! We were testing chemicals against gene chips for all retroviruses.
Hundreds a day.
- And then we found - By pure luck.
by pure luck, a steroid derivative that released Encephalitis Lethargica.
We thought we should work on a cure.
- It took 3 years.
- And then the President lied to us.
- The President? - Yes.
He wouldn't bring back the troops.
They just kept dying.
We came up with a plan to make our soldiers in Iraq sick.
But they would come home and we would save them.
You came up with the anti-retroviral.
We didn't want to hurt anyone.
They probably have thousands of doses by now.
A general Coffey acted like our friend.
He said, he wanted to help us end the war, too.
- You ever meet this Coffey? - No, we just spoke with him on the phone.
We met an Agent Miller.
Oh.
Stop.
You're making my head hurt.
Okay, you gave the cure to the Guardsmen.
Yeah.
And they got better for a while and then they got sick again.
We don't know why.
It wasn't part of our plan.
Why was Jill targeted? We don't know.
Until tonight, we didn't know you existed.
All we know is that everything we did, was sent to NorBAC - to see if you guys could figure it out.
- And you didn't.
You got the wine past us, but not the Guardsmen.
I'm thinking that's why the shit hit the fan.
Come on, we're going to the lab.
- No.
No, no, no, we can't do that.
- No, they're following us.
We have security.
Are you sure that you can completely trust them? No, but I have a plan.
Caroline.
Where are you? Alright, well listen We've got some visitors.
Agent Miller, thank you for coming.
Mr.
Field.
You sounded a little anxious on the phone.
- I can't help you anymore.
- And why is that? The bitch fired me.
Alright, we'll make a few calls We need you in there now, more than ever.
You lied to me about Jill Langston.
She could die.
Wes, this is bigger than Jill Langston.
Well, I just don't know if I can keep doing this if you leave me in the dark.
You don't think you can do what? Protect your country? Do your duty? What is my duty? What am I doing here? You're a talented man, Mr.
Field.
And General Coffey appreciates your efforts.
I want to know who General Coffey is.
You know who he is.
He's just a mouthpiece at Homeland Security to me.
In the White House.
And he appreciates your help.
As do we all.
Wes You're on the right team.
Hang in there.
We're going to win this one.
He's gone.
You get all that? Loud and clear.
All the way to the White House, Caroline.
Yeah.
I just got off the phone with the Chief Scientist.
There are no sick or injured people on the inside, but a Marburg virus leak was detected.
They're following all standard safety procedures to determine the cause of the leak.
In the meantime, I want this place sealed.
About the perimeter, I want everybody back 100 meters - including the cops.
Nobody talk to the press but me.
Anybody shows up for work, tell them it's under quarantine and they've got to go home for the day.
- Let's suit it up, boys.
- Alright.
Morning, everyone.
Carlos, welcome back from Ohio.
Yes, these are the Manford Brothers, Vincent and Stefan And yes, they are the mad scientists responsible for all this fucking bullshit.
And no, Bob, they're not really mad so stop staring.
Now.
I have whipped up a little Marburg scare.
It'll give us a little time to work together, but not a lot.
So, Stefan, Vincent, would you care to explain how the anti-retroviral was supposed to work? It's not specific.
It triggers a major immune response.
By heightening the T-cell cytokine gamma interferon, the NK, and the cytotoxic T-cells I was able to find the reactivating agent in Jill's yeast extract.
But how did it get there? Did you guys put it there? No.
But you put it in the Guardsmen's beer.
Yes.
What yeast company did you use? Bracken Yeast Growers.
Our uncle works there.
We give him the chemical and he put it in the yeast that is used in Freedom Ring Beer.
Maybe the beer yeast got cross-contaminated with the science yeast at the factory.
What brand of yeast did she buy? Bracken Yeast Growers.
Private Chekovski, the kid who never got sick after taking the anti-retroviral.
He's a very average person.
Average height.
Average weight.
Average blood and DNA.
Except for one interesting thing.
- What's that? - He is a vegan.
So no meat, fish, or dairy.
A lifetime of less B12? Less calcium? More soy possibly? A lot of things to look into.
I don't like where that's going.
- Why? - Jill's not a vegan.
I got two RCMP officers with a warrant chomping on my ass.
What kind of warrant? They're looking for a Vincent and Stefan Manford.
- How the hell would I know where they are? - What? Listen, Chief, just tell those idiots to sit tight.
We haven't found anything yet but we can't guarantee this ain't the real thing.
They want to suit up.
Put one of them on.
Yeah.
Hi, listen.
I know you guys think that you've been trained to deal with this shit, but this isn't a fucking gas leak, all right? This is Marburg.
So, you know, if you guys want to come in here, that's fine, but you might want to know what you're dealing with.
If you rip your suit, which happens all the fucking time, within 24 hours, you're going to come down with a headache, and then fever and chills, and that's going to be followed by multiple organ failures, and then, you know you'll be bleeding out of every orifice, and by then, your whole family will have it.
And then you'll die.
You still there? Yeah.
So then why don't you just sit back and let the pros handle this, and relax OK? OK.
The vegan soldier - the one who didn't get sick again.
We compared his food consumption, allergies, and did a genetic analysis.
And I checked his army vaccination records - full load.
Where is this going? Obviously vaccines are made from eggs, which he doesn't even eat.
So I called him and the soldier confirmed that his records are in fact, wrong.
Say again? He never got the shots that they gave to all the other soldiers.
This is an analysis of what's in those vaccines.
All vaccines against all possible germ warfare.
Some of which will produce a low grade infection.
This is it.
Okay, this is what we got.
We know we have an immune response to Lethargica.
The anti-retroviral sparks more immune response.
And since these guys have just had comprehensive vaccinations they're primed to fight anything and everything.
Exactly.
These guys are not dying from Lethargica, there's no phase 2.
They're dying because the anti-retroviral thinks they're full of these germs they've been vaccinated against.
It's put them into a massive immune response.
Jill, you didn't take the vaccine.
No.
Does that mean she won't get sick again? Yeah.
That's exactly what that means.
Well, that's good.
- Now we just have 12,000 soldiers to save.
- Right.
So how are we going to do that? Well they were given the anti-retroviral yesterday.
That gives them 4 days.
We could treat it with massive transfusions of gama globulin and aspirin? Might dampen the immune response.
Not enough to solve it.
You'd just be a little less very sick.
The Guardsmen are dying because their immune systems are too good at fighting infections.
It's too much of a good thing.
That's it That's it What do you do if something's too sweet? - You add sour? - Right.
So let's add sour.
Say it again.
The soldiers immune systems are in overdrive.
I mean, they are desperate to fight something, right? Specifically Lethargica.
So let's give them something to fight.
Let's grow Lethargica in a dish and inject it into the sick people.
Dumb? No, no smart.
Right, we heat it, kill the deadly virus, we inject it, it distracts the immune response, it'll go after the crippled virus and stop fucking around with the healthy cells.
We're going to need every lab on the continent pitching in on this, Bob.
David, we're going to have to test this.
Do we have any of the Guardsmen's blood left on ice? Yes.
I'll get right on this.
- I'll get right on this.
- Let's all get on it.
I know, David.
I think they have every reason to be paranoid.
Yeah, he's here now.
OK, I'll call you later.
Bye.
Hey Connor.
Sorry, I got caught in traffic.
You all right? Yeah, I'm sorry I was so short on the phone.
I just I guess I'm getting a little spooked.
Spooked? That doesn't sound like the Caroline Morrison I know.
Yeah, well, there are a lot of things going on.
A lot of things I don't understand.
Yeah.
Do you know a General Brian Coffey? Yeah, I've heard the name.
Why? Wes Field, in my office, he's been reporting to Coffey, without my authorization.
Reporting? Passing information, research More important: I don't know who this Coffey is, I don't know what he's up to.
What I know of Coffey, he's a pretty shadowy guy.
He works out of the White House Connor, I think this thing in the Middle East Lethargica I think there could be a direct link to the White House.
Really? And something else the Manford brothers showed up at David's last night.
Are they in custody? Let's walk.
They wanted to stop the war in Iraq by infecting the troops.
So when the troops got back, they could find a cure and be the heroes.
This is a plan they came up with all on their own? And they said that it was this General Coffey that double-crossed them? Yeah.
Connor, is there any reason why Washington would be interested in Harlan Sendak's research? There is some speculation that he was part of a team that engineered the red heifer that's in the news.
Engineered? You mean it wasn't natural? The red heifer is a sign of the return of the Messiah.
A Jewish extremist organization - a spin off of Moledet - tried to bomb the mosques in Jerusalem so the Arab nations would invade and a holy war would ensue.
So they needed to find a way to knock out US troops so they could go after each other.
- Shit! - Simple as that.
You get back to Toronto, Caroline.
Get us a cure for those sick boys in Iraq.
You have a phone call.
It's your son.
- Hello? - Hey.
They They couldn't find you, I thought maybe you made another break for it.
No.
David? - David? - Yeah.
I'm here, Dad.
I was in the bathroom and there was another man there.
- What? - It was a stranger.
- And he was looking right at me.
- There was a man in your room? Yeah And then I realized it was me.
For 10 seconds I didn't recognize my own face.
I can't take it, David.
- I can't.
- It'll be OK, Dad.
Listen There is something we can try.
It's experimental, but we should really talk about it It might take some time, though.
I love you, David.
Yeah - David - Yeah.
Sorry.
No, no.
Come on in.
What? It worked.
We have a cure.
Are you sure? I'm sure.
OK.
Let's play this out.
Get everyone in hazmat suits, I'll open the gates.
Right.
OK, guys, as far as the RCMP is concerned, you're still inside.
So you got at least half an hour before the hazmat guys give it the all clear and the Mounties figure out you're gone.
Where are we supposed to go? Hear the Yukon's a pretty good place to disappear to for a while.
- You're giving us your car? - Yeah.
We can't take that.
- Sure you can.
- But it's a whole car.
Look, were you guys bullshitting me when you told me you were trying to figure out a way to put an HIV vaccine in bread? - No.
- No.
On behalf of the human race, consider this a down payment for all your hard work.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Get out of here.
Be careful.
OK.
Everyone, stand by.
- All clear.
Let the Mounties in.
- It's clean.
So how many doses can we get over the next few days? We've already contacted Canada, the UK and Japan.
With all those labs focused on the same problem we should have enough Lethargica in about 48 hours.
Just in time.
Outstanding work.
So about the Manford brothers Yeah.
What happened to them? - I thought you could tell me.
- Oh no.
In all the confusion I just But you know, they said they tought somebody was trying to kill them.
I know nothing about that.
So are we still a target? You've done your job.
We'll make sure every Jihadi, Jewish extremist, and holy roller is aware that it's over.
Oh, and General Coffey.
Turns out he's a strong proponent of the religious right.
Said Bush gave him full authority to pursue the Second Coming.
- Bullshit.
- Who isn't involved in this? It's the Middle East.
Whoever controls it, controls the future.
I'll make sure the right people hear about this, Caroline.
I appreciate that, Connor.
I'm sure any funding you lost over the last year will be completely reinstated.
Thank you.
I thought Wes was fired.
He is.
It's his last day.
He's collecting his stuff.
I'll be in town overnight, if you want to have a drink, maybe later I have a couple of things to do, but yeah, I'll call you.
I'll be in town overnight, if you want to have a drink, maybe later I have a couple of things to do, but yeah, I'll call you.
Have you heard from the Manfords? Yeah.
I talked to them this morning.
They're OK.
They're paranoid but they're safe.
Keep in touch with them.
I'll let you know when I spin them out of this.
Right.
So what was McGuinn's bullshit this time? I know.
First it's al-Qaeda.
Then it's Jewish fundamentalists.
Now it's some Christian at the White House? Wes! Fucking McGuinn has spun this every way but loose.
When did you tell McGuinn I fired you? I didn't.
Where's your phone? The T.
Martin? What's going on? The Middle East is the future He's right.
The U.
S.
and China want that oil and in 20 years there's not going to be enough for both.
So if someone can get the Muslims and the Jews at each other's throats the US could walk right in and clean up the chaos.
And the oil is ours.
Fuck.
I don't even know who we can trust anymore.
There's got to be somebody you can go to.
I don't know.
But we've got to be careful.
I'm so sorry, David.
- What are you talking about? - You were right about McGuinn.
This lab it's so good, you know.
How did we fall into such a mess? I think that we still have plenty of "good" left in us.
We'll figure this out.
- David! - What? Information is coming in now on that explosion in Toronto.
It occurred a little after three this afternoon.
They're now saying that six people may have died during the suicide bombing.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
And in a joint statement, Canada and the United States and Mexico have called this a monstrous act of terrorism against all of humanity.
Remember, only you know the whole story.

She has your mother's eyes.
Pretty soon I won't know who she is at all.
And when that day comes I want you to put a bullet in my head.
I need a beer.
The Guardsmen, they're getting better.
- What? - What You've got the cure? I do indeed.
I just don't know what it was we did cure.
I would really love to take a look at what's in that vial.
Can you get up here? I'm just as interested in this as you are, Doctor.
- I can be up there tomorrow.
- Great.
See you then.
Everyone's getting anxious about Henshaw.
I see.
I will.
Yes, sir.
Got a second for some really bad news? Me first.
Henshaw's dead.
We all have Lethargica at 11P43.
So it's intrinsic in the human genome? Has Jill seen this? I don't know.
I haven't seen her.
The question is, what woke it up? The Guardsmen had dramatic recoveries.
Within 24 hours, they were walking and talking.
Then they started to get sick again.
If this doesn't work then Jill's dead.
David, we cannot give her the anti-retroviral, we just heard three of the Guardsmen who received it have died.
Yeah, well, the 2 Guardsmen they found floating on that lake died too, and they didn't get the shot.
David, we should at least confirm it was Lethargica that killed them.
We don't even know its fatality rate.
Jill just fucking flatlined in there, so I guess for her it's 100%.
This is the only thing that's going to help her right now.
- For four days! And then what? - Goddamn it Carlos! This is Jill, okay? Four days is four fucking days! So you got any reason for not giving it to her? No.
Reasons for giving it to her? It buys us some time.
Then I need your help.
Yeah, okay.
I'll just be here two minutes, Mayko.
Two minutes.
Right.
Call me if there's any developments.
Hey, Dad.
Finally! Where you been all week? I was here yesterday, Dad.
Hi, Josephina.
Hello.
Brought you your mail.
Some papers there from your insurance company.
So, what you two been up to today? Oh, we just had a nice walk.
Yeah, we're talking about the Book of Revelation.
Toumas don't believe in a soul.
Well if you were him What's that web site called? secondcoming.
ca .
- You never heard such shit.
- Dad, I really should g-- Tell him what you told me.
The predictions of the Bible for the end of days, they are coming true right now.
Like those big hurricanes and tsunamis? Predicted right in the Bible.
Those could just be due to global warming.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Tell him about the plagues.
- What, of politicians? - And what about the fire falling from the sky in Mexico City? Well we think that's just a inversion that kind of - And a volcano, right? - Yeah.
Oh exactly, God controls the volcanoes.
You gonna answer that? No, it's a text message.
Look Dad, I got to get going, things are really crazy back at the lab.
Yeah, it's am It's amazing how many people still believe that crap.
You're in a good mood today.
Well, I've just realized one of the upsides of Alzheimer's.
- What's that? - You forget how stupid people can be.
Bob! Bob.
How's Jill? She's alive.
I got your text.
What's up? Jill's lab book.
The retrovirus that she sequenced in her stem cells It's Lethargica.
Same as the Guardsmen.
- That's a hell of a coincidence.
- That's no coincidence.
I'll get on it.
What else did you find out? It appears to attack our NK cells.
- Natural Killer cells.
- First thing it does: It knocks out the opposition's line of defense.
We're working on finding out if that's what allows phase two to develop.
McGuinn.
Connor.
Okay, what about McGill and Stanford? We asked them to concentrate on what's reactivating the retrovirus.
Mayko's going to stay on it.
Okay good.
I want you to work with Bob on phase 2.
One of the infected Guardsmen who got the anti-retroviral, - didn't get sick in phase 2.
- He didn't get sick? No, he's in a hospital in Akron.
They're checking him out.
Okay, that could be the key.
We need to know absolutely everything about that guy.
We're going to need some blood.
It could be a variation in his genes that's responsible.
Okay, I'll get you on a flight to Akron right away.
- Okay.
- Let's get to work.
I'm trying to figure out a timeline to see what started the whole infection.
Now if Jill got infected from the Lethargica from her accident, that was 10 days before we believe she collapsed.
So I backtracked 10 days from when the Guardsmen got sick.
And I get the last day of war games.
They'd won and were celebrating.
The party was supplied by their sergeant.
- You can narrow it to one day? - Well the next day some left and the previous 5 days they were split into two squads.
So the reactivating chemicals could've been put in something they ate.
Or something they drank, or vitamin pills, or their pillowcases, - or their tooth paste.
- I'll get samples on everything.
Well, if your time line works backwards, then it probably works forwards.
Which means Jill's dead in four days if we don't figure something out.
Okay, I want to do comparisons of Jill's blood fresh samples of the Guardsmen.
We have got to figure out if this phase 2 is a natural progression of the Lethargica or if it's being caused by the anti-retrovirals.
Good work, Mayko.
Mayko, I know you're really busy but I need a copy of everything that's on Wes' computer.
Okay.
Sure.
Is anything wrong? I don't know.
Can you break any encryptions? - Yeah - Okay, good.
Thanks.
And Wes doesn't need to know.
Okay.
Call me when you get there.
So the only difference between phase 1 and phase 2 of this Lethargica is the level of immune response? Way higher after the Army's anti-retroviral was administered.
Why? Find out.
Hey, Jill.
These are from Bob.
I couldn't get my shit together, as usual.
He says I should talk to you, so Let's see Carlos shot you full of that anti-retroviral.
Worked on the Guardsmen in about 24 hours, so you should be surfacing pretty soon.
And Oh hey Want to watch some TV? You're much easier to get along with when you're unconscious.
In Jerusalem this morning, Chief Rabbis revealed the existence of an entirely red heifer.
You believe this shit? According to tradition, this rare phenomenon is the first sign of the Messiah.
- The red heifer was found - Oh, Christ.
Enough of that.
Well I guess we can finally talk about New York.
I mean, I wanted to before but then things just got all crazy and Owen showed up And that happened.
And you basically told me to fuck off, so But what I wanted to talk to you about What I wanted to tell you, was that something Something occurred to me in New York.
Which is that well when we have sex, No, I mean, not just sex, but when we even talk, you know, or fight, as the case may be, or even when I just see you at work It's like It's like everything I need.
Yeah.
It's like I see you and I'd be happy to never eat, or do anything, ever again.
If I could just be with you.
And I've never felt that way about anybody ever.
And now the thought that you might get taken away from me by This this fucking thing.
So I'm going to make you a deal, okay? Cause I know you don't feel the same way about me.
And I know I bug you about it all the time, so You just wake up now, okay? And just get better on your own and I And I will force myself to forget about us.
And how it feels.
And I won't bother you about it ever again.
Okay? Just wake up now.
Okay.
You take your time.
I'm just going to wait here for a while.
Just checking.
I guess you've got to be a prince for that to work.
David Hey! You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
We have 12,000 US troops down.
- But the press is reporting 180.
- Good.
They're not onto the full extent of this yet.
- You're sure it's Lethargica? - Yes.
Any of these troops come in contact with the Guardsmen? No.
How did this infect my chief virologist? She has 4 days to live, Connor.
I thought she caught it from the Guardsmen.
Cairo Embassy is reporting that Egypt is on full alert.
And we're investigating tank movements in the Sinai.
- Jesus.
- She didn't handle their samples and the timeline is wrong.
She got it from that supposed accident.
Caroline, I got 12,000 sick troops, in a few minutes I have to make a recommendation to the President.
I need to know if NorBAC is anywhere near a cure.
- No.
- Within a week? We're doing everything we can, Connor.
- What's David's call? - How much anti-retroviral do you have? - I'm not sure.
- Find out and start giving it to the soldiers.
It'll buy us some time.
If these soldiers don't get better, we're going to have to call up more troops.
They need us in the Oval Office now.
I want you to hit this hard, Caroline.
If we don't stop this, all hell's going to break loose.
We're not doing very well, Stefan.
It'll be all right, Vincent.
We made it into Canada.
Everything's fine.
- What if he doesn't believe us? - Then we have no one.
- We blew it.
- No.
They blew it.
They sent it too soon.
We should never have trusted them.
No, we should have had more time to make sure the cure worked.
- We were naive.
- Foolish.
Stupid.
- Stefan - Yes? If he doesn't believe us We're going to be fine, all right? We'll be together.
How much longer? Three hours maybe.
I'm sorry, Stefan.
Me too, Vincent.
Me too.
The Jews believe the Messiah will come to rebuild the Temple.
The Christians believe Jesus will return after a Third Temple is built.
And then there will be a huge war.
Muslims believe an Antichrist figure will be a Jew who attacks the Muslims.
Right, and all three events happen at the exact same location: the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
- Hey David.
How's Jill? - She's comin' around.
- Where's Caroline? - Washington.
But see you need the ashes of a virgin flawless red heifer.
Every single hair has to be red, in order to purify those who will rebuild the Temple.
Isn't that genetically impossible? What is it, David? Lethargica retrovirus on the human genome.
Where is it again? - Fuck.
- What? - That's Jill's handwriting.
- I know, Bob.
It's what she copied down from the Manford brothers' board in Chicago.
Look! Yeah well, those Brothers didn't look like Al-Qaeda to me.
- Maybe they were hired.
- Yeah.
By the US army.
- To knock out their own soldiers? - Well, then explain why the White House is refusing to let the press know how widespread this is.
The big fear is that the Muslim states might seize the opportunity to invade Israel.
Whatever, I will leave peace in the Middle East to you.
But I'm telling you, we need to find the Manford brothers, so they can explain to us what the fuck is going on and help us come up with a solution.
Because we are no closer to finding one and Jill is running out of time.
What? Yeah.
No, no, no.
I'll be right there.
- Where are you going? - Hospital.
- Hey.
- In a rush, Mayko.
- Not now! - We got the autopsy reports from the 2 dead Guardsmen who didn't get the anti-retroviral.
- Lethargica? - Yeah.
Did they have any inflammation of the blood vessels? No.
Okay, so that suggests that the relapse has nothing to do with the natural progression of Lethargica.
- When's Carlos back from Ohio? - Later tonight.
Okay.
Thanks, Mayko.
No, no, no.
I'll be right there.
- Where are you going? - Hospital.
- Connor McGuinn.
- Connor, it's Caroline.
Hey, Caroline.
I need you to arrest the Manford brothers.
What? Who? That investigation in Chicago? The two brothers who sent a bottle of wine to Bush? - Yeah, you found it was nothing.
- Well, David thinks they're the ones who found a way to wake Lethargica up.
- The Manfords are behind this? - It's the best lead we have so far.
Alright.
I'll get Homeland on it see if we can't round them up.
Five more of the Guardsmen are dead as of this morning.
Shit.
- Okay, well, keep me posted.
- Absolutely.
Okay, so I've been through Wes's computer.
First thing we gotta do is find his backup drive, if he's hiding anything, that's where it's going to be.
But get this.
The emails he deleted, I was able to recover them.
There's all this stuff about Harlan Sendak.
- David's friend? - Yeah.
Why would they want stuff on gay gene research? Well, there's other stuff.
Testosterone.
Animal genetics.
Proteomics.
I can't stay here.
- We just want to make sure you're fine.
- I'm fine.
We heard that before.
Can we just Can we just get back to this, okay? We don't need a lab to figure out this part.
Mayko said that the Guardsmen were on maneuvers, some kind of a war game and they won and celebrate with beer and pizza.
And the Manfords were working with wine.
Yeah.
What's in wine, beer and pizza? - Sugar, water - Yeast.
The brothers were using yeast in their experiments! I was using a yeast extract for my retrovirus.
What? - Hey David, how's Jill doing? - She wants to get out of here.
- She's fine! - It might be a good idea to listen to her.
- What do you mean? - Your friend Harlan Sendak.
His research was sent to Washington.
He died.
Dr.
Henshaw was on his way to help us.
He died.
You think somebody is tying up loose ends? I do, David.
I really do.
- Okay.
- What? Get dressed.
Thank you.
The question is, why did the garden-variety yeast extract that NorBAC buys have the reactivator in it? Was it an accident, or was it contaminated? I don't know.
Hey Bob.
Bob.
Yeast extract that Jill used for her retrovirus work.
I need you to dig it up.
It's in the corner, under the shelf with all my journals on it.
Catch that? Yeah, we think it might have the reactivator in it "Wow" is right.
So I need you to rip it apart, okay? Thanks.
Do you really think someone wants me dead? I don't know.
Let's just get out of here as quietly as possible.
You want to protect me? Buy me a pit bull and get me back to the lab.
- Let Caroline do some digging first.
- Okay, you know what? Just - What? - Stop.
Stop.
Okay, just let me go first, okay? Just in case there is somebody.
Thank you.
in the last six months.
To the same number in Washington.
Come on, Wes, this is secret agent bullshit.
You've got a cell phone registered to a T.
Martin.
And you only call another cellphone registered to a T.
Martin.
Alright.
Let's talk about Harlan Sendak's research.
Where did you send the original data? Who are you really working for, Wes? Did T.
Martin instruct you - to infect Jill with Encephalitis Lethargica? - That's not what he said would happen.
What exactly did he say would happen? I was asked to assist with Homeland Security.
- Yeah, you already told me that.
- Caroline, please.
There was talk of shutting down NorBAC.
They were unhappy with David.
And with you, quite frankly.
My loyalty is first and foremost to my country.
The only reason that I'm talking to you now is because of Jill.
I was told that she would go into quarantine.
Who told you? I had no idea that she might fall into a coma.
I am sorry.
Who is T.
Martin? General Brian Coffey.
Your contact at Homeland Security? Who does he report to? - He's just a voice on that cellphone.
- Just a voice, Wes? I was approached by Agent Miller - from Homeland Security.
- Why in hell should I believe you now? Because this time we have everything to lose.
It's just for one night, okay? Do you really think this will be over in a night? Fuck.
I don't know.
Okay? Come on.
What's What's going on? Nothing.
You want a beer, or something to eat? No.
I want you to talk to me.
Okay.
Okay God.
What? All of the Guardsmen except one They all got sick again Okay.
It starts with a fever, and then there's inflammation of the blood vessels and aneurysm.
And How fast? Four to five days after you get the shot.
Wow.
So I have tree and a half days to live? - No.
No.
- Is that what you're telling me? No.
Cause we're going to figure it out, right? We're going to figure it out.
But you needed to know the truth.
- Shit.
- Dr.
Sandstrom.
Dr.
Sandstrom.
It's Stefan Manford.
And Vincent.
We need to speak to you.
Don't.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Can we come in? Stefan, Vincent You want to tell me what the fuck is going on!? We need your help.
They're trying to kill us.
Join the fucking club! We were testing chemicals against gene chips for all retroviruses.
Hundreds a day.
- And then we found - By pure luck.
by pure luck, a steroid derivative that released Encephalitis Lethargica.
We thought we should work on a cure.
- It took 3 years.
- And then the President lied to us.
- The President? - Yes.
He wouldn't bring back the troops.
They just kept dying.
We came up with a plan to make our soldiers in Iraq sick.
But they would come home and we would save them.
You came up with the anti-retroviral.
We didn't want to hurt anyone.
They probably have thousands of doses by now.
A general Coffey acted like our friend.
He said, he wanted to help us end the war, too.
- You ever meet this Coffey? - No, we just spoke with him on the phone.
We met an Agent Miller.
Oh.
Stop.
You're making my head hurt.
Okay, you gave the cure to the Guardsmen.
Yeah.
And they got better for a while and then they got sick again.
We don't know why.
It wasn't part of our plan.
Why was Jill targeted? We don't know.
Until tonight, we didn't know you existed.
All we know is that everything we did, was sent to NorBAC - to see if you guys could figure it out.
- And you didn't.
You got the wine past us, but not the Guardsmen.
I'm thinking that's why the shit hit the fan.
Come on, we're going to the lab.
- No.
No, no, no, we can't do that.
- No, they're following us.
We have security.
Are you sure that you can completely trust them? No, but I have a plan.
Caroline.
Where are you? Alright, well listen We've got some visitors.
Agent Miller, thank you for coming.
Mr.
Field.
You sounded a little anxious on the phone.
- I can't help you anymore.
- And why is that? The bitch fired me.
Alright, we'll make a few calls We need you in there now, more than ever.
You lied to me about Jill Langston.
She could die.
Wes, this is bigger than Jill Langston.
Well, I just don't know if I can keep doing this if you leave me in the dark.
You don't think you can do what? Protect your country? Do your duty? What is my duty? What am I doing here? You're a talented man, Mr.
Field.
And General Coffey appreciates your efforts.
I want to know who General Coffey is.
You know who he is.
He's just a mouthpiece at Homeland Security to me.
In the White House.
And he appreciates your help.
As do we all.
Wes You're on the right team.
Hang in there.
We're going to win this one.
He's gone.
You get all that? Loud and clear.
All the way to the White House, Caroline.
Yeah.
I just got off the phone with the Chief Scientist.
There are no sick or injured people on the inside, but a Marburg virus leak was detected.
They're following all standard safety procedures to determine the cause of the leak.
In the meantime, I want this place sealed.
About the perimeter, I want everybody back 100 meters - including the cops.
Nobody talk to the press but me.
Anybody shows up for work, tell them it's under quarantine and they've got to go home for the day.
- Let's suit it up, boys.
- Alright.
Morning, everyone.
Carlos, welcome back from Ohio.
Yes, these are the Manford Brothers, Vincent and Stefan And yes, they are the mad scientists responsible for all this fucking bullshit.
And no, Bob, they're not really mad so stop staring.
Now.
I have whipped up a little Marburg scare.
It'll give us a little time to work together, but not a lot.
So, Stefan, Vincent, would you care to explain how the anti-retroviral was supposed to work? It's not specific.
It triggers a major immune response.
By heightening the T-cell cytokine gamma interferon, the NK, and the cytotoxic T-cells I was able to find the reactivating agent in Jill's yeast extract.
But how did it get there? Did you guys put it there? No.
But you put it in the Guardsmen's beer.
Yes.
What yeast company did you use? Bracken Yeast Growers.
Our uncle works there.
We give him the chemical and he put it in the yeast that is used in Freedom Ring Beer.
Maybe the beer yeast got cross-contaminated with the science yeast at the factory.
What brand of yeast did she buy? Bracken Yeast Growers.
Private Chekovski, the kid who never got sick after taking the anti-retroviral.
He's a very average person.
Average height.
Average weight.
Average blood and DNA.
Except for one interesting thing.
- What's that? - He is a vegan.
So no meat, fish, or dairy.
A lifetime of less B12? Less calcium? More soy possibly? A lot of things to look into.
I don't like where that's going.
- Why? - Jill's not a vegan.
I got two RCMP officers with a warrant chomping on my ass.
What kind of warrant? They're looking for a Vincent and Stefan Manford.
- How the hell would I know where they are? - What? Listen, Chief, just tell those idiots to sit tight.
We haven't found anything yet but we can't guarantee this ain't the real thing.
They want to suit up.
Put one of them on.
Yeah.
Hi, listen.
I know you guys think that you've been trained to deal with this shit, but this isn't a fucking gas leak, all right? This is Marburg.
So, you know, if you guys want to come in here, that's fine, but you might want to know what you're dealing with.
If you rip your suit, which happens all the fucking time, within 24 hours, you're going to come down with a headache, and then fever and chills, and that's going to be followed by multiple organ failures, and then, you know you'll be bleeding out of every orifice, and by then, your whole family will have it.
And then you'll die.
You still there? Yeah.
So then why don't you just sit back and let the pros handle this, and relax OK? OK.
The vegan soldier - the one who didn't get sick again.
We compared his food consumption, allergies, and did a genetic analysis.
And I checked his army vaccination records - full load.
Where is this going? Obviously vaccines are made from eggs, which he doesn't even eat.
So I called him and the soldier confirmed that his records are in fact, wrong.
Say again? He never got the shots that they gave to all the other soldiers.
This is an analysis of what's in those vaccines.
All vaccines against all possible germ warfare.
Some of which will produce a low grade infection.
This is it.
Okay, this is what we got.
We know we have an immune response to Lethargica.
The anti-retroviral sparks more immune response.
And since these guys have just had comprehensive vaccinations they're primed to fight anything and everything.
Exactly.
These guys are not dying from Lethargica, there's no phase 2.
They're dying because the anti-retroviral thinks they're full of these germs they've been vaccinated against.
It's put them into a massive immune response.
Jill, you didn't take the vaccine.
No.
Does that mean she won't get sick again? Yeah.
That's exactly what that means.
Well, that's good.
- Now we just have 12,000 soldiers to save.
- Right.
So how are we going to do that? Well they were given the anti-retroviral yesterday.
That gives them 4 days.
We could treat it with massive transfusions of gama globulin and aspirin? Might dampen the immune response.
Not enough to solve it.
You'd just be a little less very sick.
The Guardsmen are dying because their immune systems are too good at fighting infections.
It's too much of a good thing.
That's it That's it What do you do if something's too sweet? - You add sour? - Right.
So let's add sour.
Say it again.
The soldiers immune systems are in overdrive.
I mean, they are desperate to fight something, right? Specifically Lethargica.
So let's give them something to fight.
Let's grow Lethargica in a dish and inject it into the sick people.
Dumb? No, no smart.
Right, we heat it, kill the deadly virus, we inject it, it distracts the immune response, it'll go after the crippled virus and stop fucking around with the healthy cells.
We're going to need every lab on the continent pitching in on this, Bob.
David, we're going to have to test this.
Do we have any of the Guardsmen's blood left on ice? Yes.
I'll get right on this.
- I'll get right on this.
- Let's all get on it.
I know, David.
I think they have every reason to be paranoid.
Yeah, he's here now.
OK, I'll call you later.
Bye.
Hey Connor.
Sorry, I got caught in traffic.
You all right? Yeah, I'm sorry I was so short on the phone.
I just I guess I'm getting a little spooked.
Spooked? That doesn't sound like the Caroline Morrison I know.
Yeah, well, there are a lot of things going on.
A lot of things I don't understand.
Yeah.
Do you know a General Brian Coffey? Yeah, I've heard the name.
Why? Wes Field, in my office, he's been reporting to Coffey, without my authorization.
Reporting? Passing information, research More important: I don't know who this Coffey is, I don't know what he's up to.
What I know of Coffey, he's a pretty shadowy guy.
He works out of the White House Connor, I think this thing in the Middle East Lethargica I think there could be a direct link to the White House.
Really? And something else the Manford brothers showed up at David's last night.
Are they in custody? Let's walk.
They wanted to stop the war in Iraq by infecting the troops.
So when the troops got back, they could find a cure and be the heroes.
This is a plan they came up with all on their own? And they said that it was this General Coffey that double-crossed them? Yeah.
Connor, is there any reason why Washington would be interested in Harlan Sendak's research? There is some speculation that he was part of a team that engineered the red heifer that's in the news.
Engineered? You mean it wasn't natural? The red heifer is a sign of the return of the Messiah.
A Jewish extremist organization - a spin off of Moledet - tried to bomb the mosques in Jerusalem so the Arab nations would invade and a holy war would ensue.
So they needed to find a way to knock out US troops so they could go after each other.
- Shit! - Simple as that.
You get back to Toronto, Caroline.
Get us a cure for those sick boys in Iraq.
You have a phone call.
It's your son.
- Hello? - Hey.
They They couldn't find you, I thought maybe you made another break for it.
No.
David? - David? - Yeah.
I'm here, Dad.
I was in the bathroom and there was another man there.
- What? - It was a stranger.
- And he was looking right at me.
- There was a man in your room? Yeah And then I realized it was me.
For 10 seconds I didn't recognize my own face.
I can't take it, David.
- I can't.
- It'll be OK, Dad.
Listen There is something we can try.
It's experimental, but we should really talk about it It might take some time, though.
I love you, David.
Yeah - David - Yeah.
Sorry.
No, no.
Come on in.
What? It worked.
We have a cure.
Are you sure? I'm sure.
OK.
Let's play this out.
Get everyone in hazmat suits, I'll open the gates.
Right.
OK, guys, as far as the RCMP is concerned, you're still inside.
So you got at least half an hour before the hazmat guys give it the all clear and the Mounties figure out you're gone.
Where are we supposed to go? Hear the Yukon's a pretty good place to disappear to for a while.
- You're giving us your car? - Yeah.
We can't take that.
- Sure you can.
- But it's a whole car.
Look, were you guys bullshitting me when you told me you were trying to figure out a way to put an HIV vaccine in bread? - No.
- No.
On behalf of the human race, consider this a down payment for all your hard work.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Get out of here.
Be careful.
OK.
Everyone, stand by.
- All clear.
Let the Mounties in.
- It's clean.
So how many doses can we get over the next few days? We've already contacted Canada, the UK and Japan.
With all those labs focused on the same problem we should have enough Lethargica in about 48 hours.
Just in time.
Outstanding work.
So about the Manford brothers Yeah.
What happened to them? - I thought you could tell me.
- Oh no.
In all the confusion I just But you know, they said they tought somebody was trying to kill them.
I know nothing about that.
So are we still a target? You've done your job.
We'll make sure every Jihadi, Jewish extremist, and holy roller is aware that it's over.
Oh, and General Coffey.
Turns out he's a strong proponent of the religious right.
Said Bush gave him full authority to pursue the Second Coming.
- Bullshit.
- Who isn't involved in this? It's the Middle East.
Whoever controls it, controls the future.
I'll make sure the right people hear about this, Caroline.
I appreciate that, Connor.
I'm sure any funding you lost over the last year will be completely reinstated.
Thank you.
I thought Wes was fired.
He is.
It's his last day.
He's collecting his stuff.
I'll be in town overnight, if you want to have a drink, maybe later I have a couple of things to do, but yeah, I'll call you.
I'll be in town overnight, if you want to have a drink, maybe later I have a couple of things to do, but yeah, I'll call you.
Have you heard from the Manfords? Yeah.
I talked to them this morning.
They're OK.
They're paranoid but they're safe.
Keep in touch with them.
I'll let you know when I spin them out of this.
Right.
So what was McGuinn's bullshit this time? I know.
First it's al-Qaeda.
Then it's Jewish fundamentalists.
Now it's some Christian at the White House? Wes! Fucking McGuinn has spun this every way but loose.
When did you tell McGuinn I fired you? I didn't.
Where's your phone? The T.
Martin? What's going on? The Middle East is the future He's right.
The U.
S.
and China want that oil and in 20 years there's not going to be enough for both.
So if someone can get the Muslims and the Jews at each other's throats the US could walk right in and clean up the chaos.
And the oil is ours.
Fuck.
I don't even know who we can trust anymore.
There's got to be somebody you can go to.
I don't know.
But we've got to be careful.
I'm so sorry, David.
- What are you talking about? - You were right about McGuinn.
This lab it's so good, you know.
How did we fall into such a mess? I think that we still have plenty of "good" left in us.
We'll figure this out.
- David! - What? Information is coming in now on that explosion in Toronto.
It occurred a little after three this afternoon.
They're now saying that six people may have died during the suicide bombing.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
And in a joint statement, Canada and the United States and Mexico have called this a monstrous act of terrorism against all of humanity.
Remember, only you know the whole story.
