Do I know you from somewhere? I'm marcel.
I seriously doubt it.
Okay.
No name.
Got it.
You look like you could use a frosty beverage.
It's a city-wide special.
It's a magical blend of bottom shelf bourbon and P.
B.
R.
It doesn't get better than this.
My boyfriend's on his way.
Your boyfriend? All right.
Well, until he gets here, how about we cool off? What do you say? Pressure is riding me high killer dose right through my heart There we go.
So your boyfriend, is this a-a serious thing? And there's no antidote Well, who is this guy? Tell me about him.
You all right? Here, let me get that for you.
Stop it.
Get away from me.
Hey, where are you going? Sit down.
Excuse me.
Come on.
- Hey.
Hey, are you okay? - What's the matter? Dani!

And there's no antidote There's something flippin' all my switches take 'em, break 'em, make 'em feel it mix it up and mass appeal it pressure is riding me hard Dani! Killer dose right through my heart No! You gotta get here quick.
No.
I-I-I didn't see her! She Peter.
She was standing in the street! I got you.
I got you.
It was an accident! No, stay with me.
Stay stay with me, Dani! Stay with me! Somebody help me! Please! Stay with me.
Dani.
Stay with no.
No.
Dani! No.
No.
One, two.
Come back to me, Dani.
One, two, three, four, five.
Come back to me, Dani! Where is an ambulance?! Please.
Somebody help me! What do you think happened? Slight jaundice.
Peter could be right.
If Dani had a seizure, she might have been drugged.
I assigned Ethan for now.
You okay to do this? Is anyone? I told Peter to take as much time off as he needs, but Didn't he come in to work today? Yeah.
6:00 A.
M.
sharp.
Bar receipts and video surveillance in hand.
Good.
Megan, he's in shock.
Not not even shock.
He's in full-blown denial.
He's angry.
Wouldn't you be? If it helps us solve this case any sooner, I'm all for it.
Peter showed us the surveillance tapes.
Some creep spiked her drink.
Bud's trying to track down his I.
D.
now.
He just needs a cause of death.
Wait.
It wasn't the S.
U.
V.
? This rash didn't come from getting hit.
Whatever that creep gave her was attacking her before she was hit.
And this isn't your garden-variety date rape drug.
This is a hell of a lot more powerful.
Marcel trevino.
That's an old trick you played.
Palm goes over the shot, shot goes into the beer You never took a sip.
That little move is gonna put you in prison for the rest of your life.
What went in the drink? Beer and bourbon.
What'd you say to her? I said she that, uh, she looked familiar.
But somehow, that didn't work.
And roofies mean never having to say you're sorry.
What did you use, P.
C.
P.
? See, you chose the wrong gal, marcel.
She was a friend of ours, worked at the medical examiner's office.
So whatever you put in her body, I guarantee you, they will find it.
She was a hot girl at the club.
Peter You son of a bitch.
What did you give her, huh? What did you use? Tell me! Please.
Tell me! Please.
I didn't do anything.
No! No! Don't touch him! Don't touch him! Call an ambulance! That's the same thing that happened to Dani before she was hit.
So our only witness at the bar is now comatose.
Our witness? You mean our suspect.
I mean, we don't know what he is.
His symptoms were identical.
He probably got a taste of his own poison.
Pulmonary edema, tonic-clonic seizure activity these are not the symptoms of a date-rape drug.
Was he perspiring in interrogation? They all do.
Peter.
Sorry to have to ask this, but do you think Dani might have been involved with this guy? She might have got it from him.
I don't know.
I hope not.
So you think he spiked a fever? It's a theory.
What if it's not a poison, but an infection? There'd be a lot more sick people.
Seizing en route.
She's massively hypotensive.
Crit's 18.
Platelets down to 20k.
I need six units emergency release O neg, stat.
How are the others? Two new fevers, one critical.
My God.
They've all got symptoms.
This wasn't a poisoning.
We're losing her.
We better get the morgue ready.
I think we've got an outbreak.
Body of Proof 2x18 - Going Viral, Part 1 Original air date March 27, 2012 Sync Eu_I_Myself Cameron Reilly, 28, triathlete It's gon' be okay.
No, it's not.
None of these people were at the club.
Ethan.
Cameron left work two days ago with a headache.
Her heart stopped at mercy three hours ago.
Alberto reina, 36, a dockworker.
Complained of acute fever 18 hours ago.
Found at home.
Amy Thompson a sophomore at LA salle.
Had difficulty breathing last night.
Died en route to the E.
R.
Dani Alvarez, 27.
Bloody cough and seizure, multiple abrasions and fractures due to vehicle impact, all nonfatal.
Died 12 hours ago.
Cause still unknown.
Someone say something.
We will all miss Dani.
The best way that we can honor her and all of these people is to do our jobs and find cause of death.
We need to figure out where all of our victims have been, when they first started showing symptoms, and most of all, who got sick first patient zero.
Hey, wait.
Wh-what if the real source is is a monkey loose from a lab, or an undiscovered weapons stash, or radioactive rain? Anything could be Ethan, calm down.
Actually, he has a point.
That is not what I need to hear right now.
We have no idea what is causing this, how it's transmitted, or where it comes from.
What we do know is our victims.
Everyone of these people is unique, and their last hours are critical.
Couple of air locks, one here, one here.
I want a BSL-3 cabinet set up right there.
Ew.
And a new autoclave.
Swap this table out.
Hey! Hey! Nobody's swapping out anything without my approval.
Curtis.
I'm Dr.
Kate Murphy.
Introductions.
Sorry.
Rude.
Very rude.
Dr.
Charlie Stafford, centers for disease control.
I'm Dr.
Megan hunt.
Yes, you are.
Brian surgeon.
Nice.
Sorry.
I haven't had a chance to Google you yet.
Good things come to those who wait.
Thank you for your hard work.
We set up decontamination outside.
And as soon as you're checked out, you can go on home.
You're safe.
We got this.
You're kicking us out? This is icky stuff.
You don't want any part of this.
I'm a pathologist.
I am not going anywhere.
And C.
D.
C.
does not have any jurisdiction here without a direct invitation from public health.
And a letter of formal request from Dr.
Kate Murphy.
Of course you did.
Step forward, please.
Hold out your hands.
Everybody wears their I.
D.
tag at all times.
Keep it moving, people.
Take one blanket and one gown.
All right, folks, come on.
Form a line over here.
A level-6 control point.
The changing rooms are this way.
Nobody comes in without a badge.
Hands over your head.
Drop the bag in the receptacle.
Keep it moving.
Hands over your head.
Keep moving, please.
Have you had any headaches? Nausea? Are you experiencing any dry mouth? How about dizziness? We'll get you through just as soon as we can.
Please keep moving.
Step up.
Take one and head upstairs.
Step up.
Funny meeting you here.
They decontaminated half the station after trevino left, us included.
Remind me to never investigate a plague again.
We're fine! You can let us out now! Hello! We need to get back to work.
Just let 'em do their jobs.
Their jobs? Outbreaks are the C.
D.
C.
's domain, and I am not opposed to their expertise.
I really don't know why you are.
She said it, sweetheart, not me.
No fever, blood count's normal.
You're free to go home.
Just monitor your temperatures.
I think I'll miss you most of all.
Yeah, you're making a big mistake.
You need our help.
Did you clear variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob in '96, eliminate dracunculiasis in all of Uganda? No.
That was me.
You're working on people, not variants.
And your fancy words don't impress me.
I've performed brain surgeries you couldn't spell.
Goody for you.
I put my life on the line to save people.
Then you should take advantage of what's standing right in front of you.
Okay.
You first.
What do you got? Hello.
No one is available to take your call.
Please leave a message.
Mrs.
Alvarez, this is Peter Dunlop.
Um something has happened to Dani, and I need you to call me as soon as you get this.
Hey.
What's up? I just wanted to say, uh, that if there's anything I could do, that, uh You know, Dani meant a lot to I-I got it.
Thanks.
Right.
Welcome to biosafety level four.
Dr.
Stafford's been expecting you and requested I help you with your suit.
No.
I've been dressing myself for quite some time.
Thank you.
Love what you've done with the place.
I see that you're assuming the worst Anthrax, tularemia.
Well, it sure ain't the sniffles.
Body count's 26 already.
My God.
It doubled overnight? We're trying to keep this on the down low, but the news is gonna get out.
You reset the timeline.
You just threw out all our work.
We reorganized by symptom class.
Sometimes it's better not to assume.
You assume that we stink at our jobs.
My team has been together for over a decade.
Our error rate is the lowest in the Western hemisphere.
Nothing personal.
That's exactly what's wrong with you.
Nothing is personal.
It's all error rates and body counts.
Who's trying to save the city here, huh? Then let me show you mistakes you've already made.
Cameron Reilly, a triathlete, resting heart rate of 50.
Her heart failure did not happen just overnight.
John Kim his gumline suggests that he lied about smoking.
And that brings us to Dani Alvarez.
Because of her tattoos and her jaundice now you're making assumptions about me.
The point is, she was clean.
No more than a couple of drinks a week.
How do you know that? Because she told me.
She worked here.
She was one of us.
Well, then this is never gonna work.
You are way too emotionally involved.
Which is all the more reason why my team should be here.
This I know when someone you care about is on your slab, it's a lot harder to focus.
Right now, that's all we can do.
And it's because we care.
Point taken.
Bring 'em in.
What's with the tape? What, not enough? Boy, what's wrong with you? John Kim had no connection to any other victim.
So it's indiscriminate.
But get this he had neutrophilic leukocytosis with a left shift.
And it gets worse.
He's got purpura of the abdomen.
Sepsis.
We gotta get ahead of this.
Whatever it is, John Kim here has got it in spades.
This could be our patient zero.
Stafford, hunt.
Tell me you found the connection.
Not the kind you're looking for.
YouTube flagged this and forwarded it to us confidentially.
My fellow human beings There are over seven billion people on the planet, and it's getting worse.
The simple truth is, there are just too many of you.
And now a whole lot of you are going to die.
We have become a disease, and the only cure for overpopulation is to depopulate.
So congrats, philadeliaia.
You are the first to be sacrificed to a new a world order, an order as nature intended it.
And for this you have only yourselves to thank.
This isn't just an epidemic.
It's an act of terrorism.
He could be a nationalist or a cultist or some local nut job.
Well, if we take his speech at face value, he's an ecoterrorist.
Doesn't look like smallpox.
Too quick to be fungal.
We've already got all the I.
C.
U.
s covered with cipro.
If it's bacterial, that'll work.
Otherwise, we keep our options open.
Just let us do our job.
We have had 33 victims in 36 hours.
The most important question is, how are they getting infected? That is the third most important question.
The most important question is, who in hell or heaven put you in charge of this meeting? Then the second question must be, who are you? Brendan Johnson, FBI, special agent in charge.
What are we telling the public? That's tricky.
We don't want to panic the public, but if we hedge how about telling them the truth? Why is she still talking? Anyone? Dr.
Hunt works for me at the M.
E.
O.
I don't give a crap who's who.
We are working on cause of death.
We're here for our update.
You don't get an update.
We get an update.
All right.
We got victims all over the place.
We got a, uh, bus driver here, a lawyer there, this pretty young thing here.
She was more than that.
Yeah.
I know.
She's got a mommy and a daddy.
I get it.
Okay, go to hell.
What's his problem? That was his girlfriend.
Not that you give a crap who's who.
Alberto's headaches started on Friday.
No fever, no cough.
He didn't say anything else was wrong.
At noon, he went into center city for our niece's quinceañera.
Amy wrote about everything she did A lot more than we knew about.
What do we do for our other kids? Is this contagious? You think that my dad's death was just random? 'Cause I've got these friends in Korea, and they're saying there's a video out there, like a terrorist? Your friends must be mistaken.
A criminal video like that would've been confiscated immediately.
Will you explain to him how the Internet works? That video went viral.
No one can contain it.
What do you want with me? Everywhere you've been and everyone you've been in contact with for the last seven days.
I'm a car salesman from upper darby.
With two priors for possession.
Two eighths of weed doesn't exactly make me Osama Bin Laden.
If I'm your best lead, you're a disgrace to the force.
Look around you.
People are dying, and you were one of the first ones to get sick.
Now where have you been? - Doesn't matter.
- Yeah, it does.
Well, I'm not talking, so what are you gonna do about it? Could you put him in isolation? What? What the hell are you doing? What do you think? I'm putting you in solitary.
Well, that's fine.
I could use a little privacy.
Fine.
Then you'll get none.
I will be there every minute, and from the look of you, it's not gonna be that long.
Now you will talk to me or I promise you, I will be the last face you ever see.
I work at, uh, 35 Penn Station.
Tuesday, uh, I had work all day, then I had lunch at WSCE has received word that the city-wide outbreak that has so far claimed 36 lives and infected over 70 people might be an act of terrorism.
Sources say Well, the cat's out of the bag.
Who didn't see that coming? This damn suit is gon' drive me crazy.
I'm telling you, Ethan, all this protection is gon' end up costing more lives than it saves.
Speak for yourself.
I, for one, am grateful that we're not taking unnecessary My God.
Did you hear that?! Did it rip?! Ethan.
You're okay.
If my lab goes all to hell, it's because of your duct-taped ass.
More info on Dani.
I, uh, figured out where she was on Wednesday and Thursday a matinee with a friend and then kickboxing class at night.
Well, that's good.
So all we have to do is figure out where she was Sunday, Monday and Tuesday all day.
I'm doing my best here, Ethan, okay? Look, we think Dani got infected early.
So we need to know where she's been.
She took the week off.
Well, did you try calling her family? Her mom must be out of town, okay? I-I have another number, but there is no answer, and I don't know whose it is.
Well, there's gotta be something more.
Yeah, well, if there is, she certainly didn't share it with me! Curtis.
Curtis! Tell me something good.
You are looking at neisseria meningitidis, rare strain.
We have positive I.
D.
It fits all the symptoms.
That's good.
In one patient.
We found the organism in one patient only.
We need to confirm in other cases.
Negative.
How's it spread? Bacteria's aerosolized.
God.
It's airborne.
I'll start spreading the news.
You start treating the bug.
You are telling the public what? Our best theory.
Your best theory's a lie.
It's not a lie.
Listen, we've got a positive I.
D.
, and Johnson has to tell the public something.
We just ignored 99% of our victims.
He should lead with that.
What would you tell 'em? The truth.
We don't know anything yet.
Yeah.
You want to tell the public that? Bring your running shoes.
You want me to give the speech? Kate, come on.
This is fifth-grade science.
If your hypothesis is unproven, you don't announce a conclusion.
You don't have science, Megan.
This is all speculation.
You are about to go wide with information that is incredibly narrow and fragile.
You're talking to me about speculation? You're pushing me.
You need to be pushed.
I'm done here.
Prep Brad Wilson.
Here's a script confirming meningitis and prophylactic steps to prevent infection.
"Symptoms include pustules, catastrophic heart failure, and bleeding eyes"? This will scare the hell out of people.
Who the hell wrote this? I did.
Science is scary when you understand it.
I'll take a pass, soften it.
Listen, we need a, uh, a human angle.
What about, uh, Peter dunlop? His girlfriend was an early victim, right? He's here, isn't he? He's perfect.
Get him on camera.
N-not a chance.
He's helping my team solve a city-wide contagion Right now.
What's ahab's mood? Sunshine and puppies.
Excuse me.
We have a lead.
A local guy.
Even has a web site recommending disease as a cure for overpopulation.
We can have him within the hour.
Great.
Bring him in.
We're gonna need some backup.
Get 'em whatever they need.
Follow me.
We have some encouraging news.
We have confirmed meningitis.
Preventative measures are currently being put in place at public offices And schools throughout the city.
The strain of this bacteria is virulent in nature, and we must take extreme caution I don't get it.
You have never shied away from the limelight.
This is the biggest show in town, and you're deferring to this idiot.
Megan, I know you think this is in your wheelhouse.
It's not.
We don't even know what we have.
It is not airborne and it's not meningitis and ln law enforcement have not been immune to this tragedy.
Why why is Peter's picture up there? Peter Dunlop, an investigator for the M.
E.
O.
, lost his girlfriend, Dani Alvarez That ass.
We haven't even notified her mother yet.
Our hearts go out to him and the entire Alvarez family and everyone impacted in this city.
May God bless us all.
He is lying to everyone, and you are allowing it.
People do not need to be coddled.
They can handle the truth if you inspire them, and you do that.
He's doing his job.
I am doing my job.
What are you doing exactly? There's too damn many people in the world.
But they're never gonna learn.
I hope they all die, too.
Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! What the hell?! Hands behind your back.
Now! Terry Mcleary, you're under arrest for suspicion of domestic terrorism and homicide.
Transport! The loops go over your ears like that's it.
Good.
The FBI guy on TV said that everything was fine.
It will be, sweetheart.
Grandma's gonna come pick you up, and she won't know how to load your insulin pump, so will you show her? Yes.
When are you gonna be home? And what about cartridges, do you have enough? I have enough stuff in my backpack to last me a week.
How long is this gonna be? Okay, well, then just wear the gloves and the mask, and stay inside with grandma, and everything will be okay.
Mom, you're freaking me out.
Did the guy on TV lie? Lacey, I need you to put your phone away, please.
Lace.
I love you, baby.
Mom, you say "I love you" like you're never gonna see me again.
Lacey.
I'm talking to my mom.
She's a medical examiner.
Stay calm.
Check each other's masks.
You can't go home yet.
We have to stay inside, okay? Dr.
Hunt? Lace, I gotta go.
I'm sorry.
Mom, wait.
Look, I would never hurt anyone.
Really? Well, uh, I'm confused then, because, uh, your web site here, you talk about, uh, oh, forced castration, murder.
Here's one that seems relevant disease.
Would I be upset if this helped turn attention to a global crisis? No.
Overpopulation's gonna be our downfall.
Is that why you've been spreading meningitis? What are you talking about? I haven't been doing anything, and it's not meningitis.
If it were airborne, we'd all be dead.
Some pretty smart people think it is meningitis.
Well, I can't account for their stupidity.
Then what the hell is it? Do I look like a doctor? I'm I'm sorry dude, I'm in High School.
Come on, you're a little more educated than that, dude A.
P.
courses, three summers interning at medical school.
So I like science.
Okay, then help me solve a problem.
We found 40 cases of cerebral edema, but only one case with an inflamed lining of the brain.
One? Okay, I'm gonna speak slowly so you can understand.
Meningitis is an inflamed lining of the brain, and you only found one.
How do you explain meningitis with that? Guess you can't.
Mm.
Yeah, you can't.
No one can.
I mean, seriously, how does it feel to get schooled by a teenager? I don't know.
Ask him.
Hey.
That supposed to prove something? Yeah, you can't even fool a 17 year old.
So why don't you just give up this meningitis nonsense? Unless you want to be the idiot that everybody blames for lying to the public.
all negative.
Wh-what, do you have a death wish? It's not airborne.
We don't need these space suits.
The odds of me contracting whatever this is from this delightful conversation are zero.
You don't know that.
We need a bigger sample size.
So you're saying that more people need to die in order for us to figure out why more people are dying? Statistics don't lie.
They're not statistics.
They are people.
Dani Alvarez, our earliest case, pulmonary edema.
John Kim, your only positive, massive sepsis.
Those are two entirely different causes of death.
Megan, we've already identified a disease that accounts for all the symptoms.
Maybe.
Emphysema could explain difficulty breathing.
So what? What is more likely, a long-term smoker having emphysema or 24 victims having a basic bacteria that we can't find? If you're right, then we're talking about an exotic virus lassa or dengue.
Both of which are much more dangerous.
But not airborne.
That's better.
Which means, we are left with only one major mode of transmission blood.
And as long as you don't come in contact with it, you're fine.
We're up to 50 dead.
It's gonna be thousands if we don't get ahead of this thing.
This disease is all over the map.
There's only a few infections that can spread that quickly.
I'm gonna put every febrile inpatient in this city on antibiotics.
Against what? Can we please get Peter's picture off the damn television? No, we cannot.
It's news.
No, it's not.
It's personal.
People want to know that we're suffering just like they are.
Yeah, you're exploiting Peter's pain.
I'm securing the biblic trust.
I kinda thought we'd do that with timely, honest information.
Really? Well, then why is it that Peter Dunlop, who had intimate relations with one of the first victims, is the last guy to give me any useful information? It's not that easy.
Patient histories aren't always transparent.
Or maybe I'm not the only idiot lying.
.
I saw on the news that you were Dani Alvarez's boyfriend so I came here to see what happened to her.
How did you know her? My parents are gone.
I live in a foster home, and Dani was like a sister.
Did you spend much time together? Couple times a month maybe.
And what did you do together? Mostly just hung out and listened to music on vinyl.
Let me guess.
She said it was more authentic.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
She took me to my first ballet, got me interested in dance.
You were supposed to meet her this past Monday, right? She said she had something, but we talked on the phone.
And what did you talk about? I was having boy issues.
But she straightened me out.
I'm really gonna miss her.
Jean-Jeannie, for once in our relationship, this cannot be an argument.
I need you to get your keys, get in the car, and drive to your sister's in Scranton.
No, I I have been through decontamination.
I am fine.
Now just go.
I love you, too.
Sacrificed to a new world and you are watching a video of the one place we know the terrorist isn't.
Yeah, because it's the one place we know he was.
Here.
Tell me what you hear.
There are over seven billion Some crackpot telling me, we're all gonna die.
No, listen again.
In the background, what do you hear? The simple truth is, there are just too many of you.
Come on.
You hear any church bells, trains, cars? And now a whole lot of you are the FBI criminalists have been all over this tape.
Yeah, but they don't know Philly like we do.
That's a quiet area.
And from the looks of that building, there's no one taking care of it.
So it's an abandoned building in north Philly.
But 40% of the buildings over there are shuttered up.
I'm gonna strangle you.
Look at the red tag on the side wall.
It looks like graffiti, right? Okay.
You see this? That's a red star 7.
The b-7 gang runs drugs in a very tight 4-block radius in north Philly.
We could canvass that easy.
huh.
But we were wrong once before, and Captain fantastic is never gonna listen to us.
Look, bud, I know you're worried.
I'm worried, too.
But if we do our jobs, we could save the world.
That was good.
Let's grab our capes.
Clear.
Clear.
Bodies.
You all right, Detective? Track marks.
And there's syringes all over the place.
Hey, Sam.
Look at this.
It's the same tag as on the video.
I guess now we know where the terrorist made the tape.
We also know how he's spreading it to the public.
Get this analyzed as soon as possible.
On it.
You don't think he's running around stabbing people, do you? It fits.
All these new victims have needle sticks.
No, they don't.
Three of them do.
Well, maybe you missed the other ones.
Really? Because so far, I haven't missed anything.
You also haven't given us anything.
Megan, our terrorist has bloodshot eyes.
It's weird.
Well, maybe he's tired from the long coach flight from Syria.
Or maybe Peter sees something that your team missed.
I sent all our data to Atlanta.
I can have a C.
D.
C.
special pathogens team on a plane in ten minutes.
Good.
Do it.
I'm sick of her crap.
Hello.
I am right here, and if you take us off this case, you are so screwed.
Dr.
Hunt, your passion's admirable, but you work on dead bodies.
You can make a mistake a hundred times, nothing happens.
- When the C.
D.
C.
is wrong, people die.
- - Why are you people so quick to ignore what's right in front of you? He has bloodshot eyes.
That doesn't give us our killer.
Are you interested in mode of transmission? He's not tired, okay? He's sick.
Bloodshot eyes doesn't give us mode of transmission.
It's not the bloodshot eyes.
It's what they obscure.
The sclera are jaundiced.
Liver failure? The jaundice is advanced.
He's been sick for over a week.
He sure as hell isn't sticking people with needles to infect them.
Agent Johnson, Dr.
Stafford, turns out you're both looking for the exact same thing.
Our terrorist is patient zero.
He infected himself first and then he turned himself into a suicide bomber.
Anyone who comes into contact with him is going to die.
Transmission is caused by direct contact with blood and secretions.
Which means, we can contain it if we mobilize everything we got.
By contain it, you mean telling people that there is a sick man out there who is infecting people so that they can protect themselves? No.
Then he'll go underground, and we'll never see him again.
What we need is a new public face on this, like your very photogenic boss.
You do like to live on the edge, don't you? What have you found? Elevated antibodies in the blood, but no I.
D.
, none.
This disease is either super rare or mutated.
So go wear your scrubs.
I'm not taking that risk.
No offense.
None taken, big baby.
What's with the suits? I thought it wasn't airborne.
Apparently, we're not all on the same page.
What did you find? Good news.
The patients are stabilizing with the antibiotics.
That's not news.
That's hope.
Just have to wait and see.
We are in the wait and see camp.
Fine.
Go wait and see somewhere else, will you? How are you doing? She had this whole other life that I didn't know anything about.
A 15-year-old girl knew her better than I did.
The best relationships have some mystery.
She surprised you.
You liked that.
Surprise.
Let's go.
It's time.

Stafford and his team "at C.
D.

for their assistance and expertise.
" Why are you sweating, nervous? I've been better.
It's not exactly what I want to say.
What are you going to say? The truth, except for mode of transmission.
So everything except what matters.
Johnson's a jerk, but he's right.
This guy may not be the only terrorist in the city.
If you say nothing, more people will die.
And if I say everything, a lot more people could die looking for him.
Listen, I need to go over this.
Can I do that, or do you need to argue again? No.
I'm fine.
I just came here to tell you that you're making the biggest mistake of your career, but, no.
I'm good.
Good morning.
I'd like to start by thanking special agent in charge Brendan Johnson for all of his help in keeping the public safe.
I'd also like to thank Dr.
Charles Stafford and his team at C.
D.
C.
For their help and assistance.
Come on, Kate.
Come on.
Do the right thing here.
I want to reiterate the importance of using basic precautions to stay healthy.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth Yeah.
The antibiotics are not working.
Ethan, I told you, we gotta wait and see.
We waited.
They're all dead.
Close watch on your children.

So your boyfriend, is this a-a serious thing? And there's no antidote Well, who is this guy? Tell me about him.
You all right? Here, let me get that for you.

No.
I-I-I didn't see her! She Peter.
She was standing in the street! I got you.

Dani.
Stay with no.
No.
Dani! No.
No.
One, two.
Come back to me, Dani.
One, two, three, four, five.
Come back to me, Dani! Where is an ambulance?! Please.
Somebody help me! What do you think happened? Slight jaundice.
Peter could be right.
If Dani had a seizure, she might have been drugged.
I assigned Ethan for now.
You okay to do this? Is anyone? I told Peter to take as much time off as he needs, but Didn't he come in to work today? Yeah.
6:00 A.
M.
sharp.
Bar receipts and video surveillance in hand.
Good.
Megan, he's in shock.
Not not even shock.
He's in full-blown denial.
He's angry.
Wouldn't you be? If it helps us solve this case any sooner, I'm all for it.
Peter showed us the surveillance tapes.
Some creep spiked her drink.
Bud's trying to track down his I.

now.
He just needs a cause of death.
Wait.
It wasn't the S.
U.

? This rash didn't come from getting hit.
Whatever that creep gave her was attacking her before she was hit.
And this isn't your garden-variety date rape drug.
This is a hell of a lot more powerful.
Marcel trevino.
That's an old trick you played.

That little move is gonna put you in prison for the rest of your life.
What went in the drink? Beer and bourbon.
What'd you say to her? I said she that, uh, she looked familiar.
But somehow, that didn't work.
And roofies mean never having to say you're sorry.
What did you use, P.
C.
P.
? See, you chose the wrong gal, marcel.
She was a friend of ours, worked at the medical examiner's office.
So whatever you put in her body, I guarantee you, they will find it.
She was a hot girl at the club.
Peter You son of a bitch.
What did you give her, huh? What did you use? Tell me! Please.
Tell me! Please.
I didn't do anything.
No! No! Don't touch him! Don't touch him! Call an ambulance! That's the same thing that happened to Dani before she was hit.
So our only witness at the bar is now comatose.
Our witness? You mean our suspect.
I mean, we don't know what he is.
His symptoms were identical.
He probably got a taste of his own poison.
Pulmonary edema, tonic-clonic seizure activity these are not the symptoms of a date-rape drug.
Was he perspiring in interrogation? They all do.
Peter.
Sorry to have to ask this, but do you think Dani might have been involved with this guy? She might have got it from him.
I don't know.
I hope not.
So you think he spiked a fever? It's a theory.
What if it's not a poison, but an infection? There'd be a lot more sick people.

The best way that we can honor her and all of these people is to do our jobs and find cause of death.
We need to figure out where all of our victims have been, when they first started showing symptoms, and most of all, who got sick first patient zero.
Hey, wait.
Wh-what if the real source is is a monkey loose from a lab, or an undiscovered weapons stash, or radioactive rain? Anything could be Ethan, calm down.
Actually, he has a point.
That is not what I need to hear right now.
We have no idea what is causing this, how it's transmitted, or where it comes from.
What we do know is our victims.

No one is available to take your call.
Please leave a message.
Mrs.

Um something has happened to Dani, and I need you to call me as soon as you get this.
Hey.
What's up? I just wanted to say, uh, that if there's anything I could do, that, uh You know, Dani meant a lot to I-I got it.
Thanks.
Right.
Welcome to biosafety level four.
Dr.
Stafford's been expecting you and requested I help you with your suit.
No.
I've been dressing myself for quite some time.
Thank you.
Love what you've done with the place.
I see that you're assuming the worst Anthrax, tularemia.
Well, it sure ain't the sniffles.
Body count's 26 already.
My God.
It doubled overnight? We're trying to keep this on the down low, but the news is gonna get out.
You reset the timeline.
You just threw out all our work.
We reorganized by symptom class.
Sometimes it's better not to assume.
You assume that we stink at our jobs.
My team has been together for over a decade.
Our error rate is the lowest in the Western hemisphere.
Nothing personal.
That's exactly what's wrong with you.
Nothing is personal.
It's all error rates and body counts.
Who's trying to save the city here, huh? Then let me show you mistakes you've already made.
Cameron Reilly, a triathlete, resting heart rate of 50.
Her heart failure did not happen just overnight.
John Kim his gumline suggests that he lied about smoking.
And that brings us to Dani Alvarez.
Because of her tattoos and her jaundice now you're making assumptions about me.
The point is, she was clean.
No more than a couple of drinks a week.
How do you know that? Because she told me.
She worked here.
She was one of us.
Well, then this is never gonna work.
You are way too emotionally involved.
Which is all the more reason why my team should be here.
This I know when someone you care about is on your slab, it's a lot harder to focus.
Right now, that's all we can do.
And it's because we care.
Point taken.
Bring 'em in.
What's with the tape? What, not enough? Boy, what's wrong with you? John Kim had no connection to any other victim.
So it's indiscriminate.
But get this he had neutrophilic leukocytosis with a left shift.
And it gets worse.
He's got purpura of the abdomen.
Sepsis.
We gotta get ahead of this.
Whatever it is, John Kim here has got it in spades.
This could be our patient zero.
Stafford, hunt.
Tell me you found the connection.
Not the kind you're looking for.
YouTube flagged this and forwarded it to us confidentially.
My fellow human beings There are over seven billion people on the planet, and it's getting worse.
The simple truth is, there are just too many of you.
And now a whole lot of you are going to die.

So congrats, philadeliaia.
You are the first to be sacrificed to a new a world order, an order as nature intended it.
And for this you have only yourselves to thank.

It's an act of terrorism.

We've already got all the I.
C.

s covered with cipro.
If it's bacterial, that'll work.
Otherwise, we keep our options open.
Just let us do our job.
We have had 33 victims in 36 hours.
The most important question is, how are they getting infected? That is the third most important question.
The most important question is, who in hell or heaven put you in charge of this meeting? Then the second question must be, who are you? Brendan Johnson, FBI, special agent in charge.
What are we telling the public? That's tricky.
We don't want to panic the public, but if we hedge how about telling them the truth? Why is she still talking? Anyone? Dr.
Hunt works for me at the M.

I don't give a crap who's who.
We are working on cause of death.
We're here for our update.
You don't get an update.
We get an update.
All right.
We got victims all over the place.
We got a, uh, bus driver here, a lawyer there, this pretty young thing here.
She was more than that.
Yeah.
I know.
She's got a mommy and a daddy.
I get it.
Okay, go to hell.
What's his problem? That was his girlfriend.
Not that you give a crap who's who.
Alberto's headaches started on Friday.
No fever, no cough.
He didn't say anything else was wrong.
At noon, he went into center city for our niece's quinceañera.
Amy wrote about everything she did A lot more than we knew about.
What do we do for our other kids? Is this contagious? You think that my dad's death was just random? 'Cause I've got these friends in Korea, and they're saying there's a video out there, like a terrorist? Your friends must be mistaken.
A criminal video like that would've been confiscated immediately.
Will you explain to him how the Internet works? That video went viral.
No one can contain it.
What do you want with me? Everywhere you've been and everyone you've been in contact with for the last seven days.

Now where have you been? - Doesn't matter.
- Yeah, it does.
Well, I'm not talking, so what are you gonna do about it? Could you put him in isolation? What? What the hell are you doing? What do you think? I'm putting you in solitary.
Well, that's fine.
I could use a little privacy.
Fine.
Then you'll get none.
I will be there every minute, and from the look of you, it's not gonna be that long.
Now you will talk to me or I promise you, I will be the last face you ever see.
I work at, uh, 35 Penn Station.
Tuesday, uh, I had work all day, then I had lunch at WSCE has received word that the city-wide outbreak that has so far claimed 36 lives and infected over 70 people might be an act of terrorism.
Sources say Well, the cat's out of the bag.
Who didn't see that coming? This damn suit is gon' drive me crazy.
I'm telling you, Ethan, all this protection is gon' end up costing more lives than it saves.
Speak for yourself.
I, for one, am grateful that we're not taking unnecessary My God.
Did you hear that?! Did it rip?! Ethan.
You're okay.
If my lab goes all to hell, it's because of your duct-taped ass.
More info on Dani.
I, uh, figured out where she was on Wednesday and Thursday a matinee with a friend and then kickboxing class at night.
Well, that's good.
So all we have to do is figure out where she was Sunday, Monday and Tuesday all day.
I'm doing my best here, Ethan, okay? Look, we think Dani got infected early.
So we need to know where she's been.
She took the week off.
Well, did you try calling her family? Her mom must be out of town, okay? I-I have another number, but there is no answer, and I don't know whose it is.
Well, there's gotta be something more.
Yeah, well, if there is, she certainly didn't share it with me! Curtis.
Curtis! Tell me something good.
You are looking at neisseria meningitidis, rare strain.
We have positive I.
D.
It fits all the symptoms.
That's good.
In one patient.
We found the organism in one patient only.
We need to confirm in other cases.
Negative.
How's it spread? Bacteria's aerosolized.
God.
It's airborne.
I'll start spreading the news.
You start treating the bug.
You are telling the public what? Our best theory.
Your best theory's a lie.
It's not a lie.
Listen, we've got a positive I.
D.
, and Johnson has to tell the public something.
We just ignored 99% of our victims.
He should lead with that.
What would you tell 'em? The truth.
We don't know anything yet.
Yeah.
You want to tell the public that? Bring your running shoes.
You want me to give the speech? Kate, come on.
This is fifth-grade science.
If your hypothesis is unproven, you don't announce a conclusion.
You don't have science, Megan.
This is all speculation.
You are about to go wide with information that is incredibly narrow and fragile.
You're talking to me about speculation? You're pushing me.
You need to be pushed.
I'm done here.
Prep Brad Wilson.
Here's a script confirming meningitis and prophylactic steps to prevent infection.
"Symptoms include pustules, catastrophic heart failure, and bleeding eyes"? This will scare the hell out of people.
Who the hell wrote this? I did.
Science is scary when you understand it.
I'll take a pass, soften it.
Listen, we need a, uh, a human angle.
What about, uh, Peter dunlop? His girlfriend was an early victim, right? He's here, isn't he? He's perfect.
Get him on camera.
N-not a chance.
He's helping my team solve a city-wide contagion Right now.
What's ahab's mood? Sunshine and puppies.
Excuse me.
We have a lead.
A local guy.
Even has a web site recommending disease as a cure for overpopulation.
We can have him within the hour.
Great.
Bring him in.
We're gonna need some backup.
Get 'em whatever they need.
Follow me.
We have some encouraging news.
We have confirmed meningitis.
Preventative measures are currently being put in place at public offices And schools throughout the city.
The strain of this bacteria is virulent in nature, and we must take extreme caution I don't get it.
You have never shied away from the limelight.
This is the biggest show in town, and you're deferring to this idiot.
Megan, I know you think this is in your wheelhouse.
It's not.
We don't even know what we have.
It is not airborne and it's not meningitis and ln law enforcement have not been immune to this tragedy.
Why why is Peter's picture up there? Peter Dunlop, an investigator for the M.

O.
, lost his girlfriend, Dani Alvarez That ass.
We haven't even notified her mother yet.
Our hearts go out to him and the entire Alvarez family and everyone impacted in this city.
May God bless us all.
He is lying to everyone, and you are allowing it.
People do not need to be coddled.
They can handle the truth if you inspire them, and you do that.
He's doing his job.
I am doing my job.
What are you doing exactly? There's too damn many people in the world.
But they're never gonna learn.
I hope they all die, too.
Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! What the hell?! Hands behind your back.

Good.
The FBI guy on TV said that everything was fine.
It will be, sweetheart.
Grandma's gonna come pick you up, and she won't know how to load your insulin pump, so will you show her? Yes.
When are you gonna be home? And what about cartridges, do you have enough? I have enough stuff in my backpack to last me a week.
How long is this gonna be? Okay, well, then just wear the gloves and the mask, and stay inside with grandma, and everything will be okay.
Mom, you're freaking me out.
Did the guy on TV lie? Lacey, I need you to put your phone away, please.
Lace.
I love you, baby.
Mom, you say "I love you" like you're never gonna see me again.
Lacey.
I'm talking to my mom.
She's a medical examiner.
Stay calm.
Check each other's masks.
You can't go home yet.
We have to stay inside, okay? Dr.
Hunt? Lace, I gotta go.
I'm sorry.
Mom, wait.
Look, I would never hurt anyone.
Really? Well, uh, I'm confused then, because, uh, your web site here, you talk about, uh, oh, forced castration, murder.
Here's one that seems relevant disease.
Would I be upset if this helped turn attention to a global crisis? No.
Overpopulation's gonna be our downfall.
Is that why you've been spreading meningitis? What are you talking about? I haven't been doing anything, and it's not meningitis.
If it were airborne, we'd all be dead.
Some pretty smart people think it is meningitis.
Well, I can't account for their stupidity.
Then what the hell is it? Do I look like a doctor? I'm I'm sorry dude, I'm in High School.
Come on, you're a little more educated than that, dude A.
P.
courses, three summers interning at medical school.
So I like science.
Okay, then help me solve a problem.
We found 40 cases of cerebral edema, but only one case with an inflamed lining of the brain.
One? Okay, I'm gonna speak slowly so you can understand.
Meningitis is an inflamed lining of the brain, and you only found one.
How do you explain meningitis with that? Guess you can't.
Mm.
Yeah, you can't.
No one can.
I mean, seriously, how does it feel to get schooled by a teenager? I don't know.
Ask him.
Hey.
That supposed to prove something? Yeah, you can't even fool a 17 year old.
So why don't you just give up this meningitis nonsense? Unless you want to be the idiot that everybody blames for lying to the public.
all negative.
Wh-what, do you have a death wish? It's not airborne.
We don't need these space suits.
The odds of me contracting whatever this is from this delightful conversation are zero.
You don't know that.
We need a bigger sample size.
So you're saying that more people need to die in order for us to figure out why more people are dying? Statistics don't lie.
They're not statistics.
They are people.
Dani Alvarez, our earliest case, pulmonary edema.
John Kim, your only positive, massive sepsis.
Those are two entirely different causes of death.
Megan, we've already identified a disease that accounts for all the symptoms.
Maybe.
Emphysema could explain difficulty breathing.
So what? What is more likely, a long-term smoker having emphysema or 24 victims having a basic bacteria that we can't find? If you're right, then we're talking about an exotic virus lassa or dengue.
Both of which are much more dangerous.
But not airborne.
That's better.
Which means, we are left with only one major mode of transmission blood.
And as long as you don't come in contact with it, you're fine.
We're up to 50 dead.
It's gonna be thousands if we don't get ahead of this thing.
This disease is all over the map.
There's only a few infections that can spread that quickly.
I'm gonna put every febrile inpatient in this city on antibiotics.
Against what? Can we please get Peter's picture off the damn television? No, we cannot.
It's news.
No, it's not.
It's personal.
People want to know that we're suffering just like they are.
Yeah, you're exploiting Peter's pain.
I'm securing the biblic trust.
I kinda thought we'd do that with timely, honest information.
Really? Well, then why is it that Peter Dunlop, who had intimate relations with one of the first victims, is the last guy to give me any useful information? It's not that easy.
Patient histories aren't always transparent.
Or maybe I'm not the only idiot lying.
.
I saw on the news that you were Dani Alvarez's boyfriend so I came here to see what happened to her.
How did you know her? My parents are gone.
I live in a foster home, and Dani was like a sister.
Did you spend much time together? Couple times a month maybe.
And what did you do together? Mostly just hung out and listened to music on vinyl.
Let me guess.
She said it was more authentic.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
She took me to my first ballet, got me interested in dance.
You were supposed to meet her this past Monday, right? She said she had something, but we talked on the phone.
And what did you talk about? I was having boy issues.
But she straightened me out.
I'm really gonna miss her.
Jean-Jeannie, for once in our relationship, this cannot be an argument.
I need you to get your keys, get in the car, and drive to your sister's in Scranton.
No, I I have been through decontamination.
I am fine.
Now just go.
I love you, too.
Sacrificed to a new world and you are watching a video of the one place we know the terrorist isn't.
Yeah, because it's the one place we know he was.
Here.
Tell me what you hear.
There are over seven billion Some crackpot telling me, we're all gonna die.
No, listen again.
In the background, what do you hear? The simple truth is, there are just too many of you.
Come on.
You hear any church bells, trains, cars? And now a whole lot of you are the FBI criminalists have been all over this tape.
Yeah, but they don't know Philly like we do.
That's a quiet area.
And from the looks of that building, there's no one taking care of it.
So it's an abandoned building in north Philly.
But 40% of the buildings over there are shuttered up.
I'm gonna strangle you.
Look at the red tag on the side wall.
It looks like graffiti, right? Okay.
You see this? That's a red star 7.
The b-7 gang runs drugs in a very tight 4-block radius in north Philly.
We could canvass that easy.
huh.
But we were wrong once before, and Captain fantastic is never gonna listen to us.
Look, bud, I know you're worried.
I'm worried, too.
But if we do our jobs, we could save the world.
That was good.
Let's grab our capes.
Clear.
Clear.
Bodies.
You all right, Detective? Track marks.
And there's syringes all over the place.
Hey, Sam.
Look at this.
It's the same tag as on the video.
I guess now we know where the terrorist made the tape.
We also know how he's spreading it to the public.
Get this analyzed as soon as possible.
On it.
You don't think he's running around stabbing people, do you? It fits.
All these new victims have needle sticks.
No, they don't.
Three of them do.
Well, maybe you missed the other ones.
Really? Because so far, I haven't missed anything.
You also haven't given us anything.
Megan, our terrorist has bloodshot eyes.
It's weird.
Well, maybe he's tired from the long coach flight from Syria.
Or maybe Peter sees something that your team missed.
I sent all our data to Atlanta.
I can have a C.
D.
C.
special pathogens team on a plane in ten minutes.
Good.
Do it.
I'm sick of her crap.
Hello.
I am right here, and if you take us off this case, you are so screwed.
Dr.
Hunt, your passion's admirable, but you work on dead bodies.
You can make a mistake a hundred times, nothing happens.
- When the C.
D.
C.
is wrong, people die.
- - Why are you people so quick to ignore what's right in front of you? He has bloodshot eyes.
That doesn't give us our killer.
Are you interested in mode of transmission? He's not tired, okay? He's sick.
Bloodshot eyes doesn't give us mode of transmission.
It's not the bloodshot eyes.
It's what they obscure.
The sclera are jaundiced.
Liver failure? The jaundice is advanced.
He's been sick for over a week.
He sure as hell isn't sticking people with needles to infect them.
Agent Johnson, Dr.
Stafford, turns out you're both looking for the exact same thing.
Our terrorist is patient zero.
He infected himself first and then he turned himself into a suicide bomber.
Anyone who comes into contact with him is going to die.
Transmission is caused by direct contact with blood and secretions.
Which means, we can contain it if we mobilize everything we got.
By contain it, you mean telling people that there is a sick man out there who is infecting people so that they can protect themselves? No.
Then he'll go underground, and we'll never see him again.
What we need is a new public face on this, like your very photogenic boss.
You do like to live on the edge, don't you? What have you found? Elevated antibodies in the blood, but no I.
D.
, none.
This disease is either super rare or mutated.
So go wear your scrubs.
I'm not taking that risk.
No offense.
None taken, big baby.
What's with the suits? I thought it wasn't airborne.
Apparently, we're not all on the same page.
What did you find? Good news.
The patients are stabilizing with the antibiotics.
That's not news.
That's hope.
Just have to wait and see.
We are in the wait and see camp.
Fine.
Go wait and see somewhere else, will you? How are you doing? She had this whole other life that I didn't know anything about.
A 15-year-old girl knew her better than I did.
The best relationships have some mystery.
She surprised you.
You liked that.
Surprise.
Let's go.
It's time.
"I want to thank special agent in charge Brendan Johnson "for all of his help keeping the public safe, "and I also want to thank Dr.
Stafford and his team "at C.
D.
C.
for their assistance and expertise.
" Why are you sweating, nervous? I've been better.
It's not exactly what I want to say.
What are you going to say? The truth, except for mode of transmission.
So everything except what matters.
Johnson's a jerk, but he's right.
This guy may not be the only terrorist in the city.
If you say nothing, more people will die.
And if I say everything, a lot more people could die looking for him.
Listen, I need to go over this.
Can I do that, or do you need to argue again? No.
I'm fine.
I just came here to tell you that you're making the biggest mistake of your career, but, no.
I'm good.
Good morning.
I'd like to start by thanking special agent in charge Brendan Johnson for all of his help in keeping the public safe.
I'd also like to thank Dr.
Charles Stafford and his team at C.
D.
C.
For their help and assistance.
Come on, Kate.
Come on.
Do the right thing here.
I want to reiterate the importance of using basic precautions to stay healthy.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth Yeah.
The antibiotics are not working.
Ethan, I told you, we gotta wait and see.
We waited.
They're all dead.
Close watch on your children.
No vending machines Megan, we can't stop it.
Water fountains.
Wearing protective gloves and masks will protect you and your families from this disease.
Dr.
Murphy.
Dr.
Murphy.
Dr.
Murphy, Dr.
Murphy, any progress on how the terrorist is transmitting the disease? People, uh The the truth People, the truth is, the terrorist is sick.
He's infecting all of you and he's still out there.
