"Previously on The Strain." "I am the only one who could slow the Internet down..." " to worse than dial-up." " You're hired." "You need to get Zack out of the city now." "Go to your mother's in Vermont." " What the hell are you talking about?" " Something awful is happening." "If there's such a big emergency, why isn't there any news about it?" "You called the FBI?" " Take it easy, Doctor!" " Okay, Doc." "Stop right there, huh?" "You shut your mouth, and you listen to me." "I invited you in." "You are a guest, and you need to start acting like one." "We've got inventory tonight, and it's gonna go late." " I won't wait up." "Jeff, what happened?" "Ah." "Hey!" "Did you do this?" "Oh!" "Jim, what happened?" " Scraped when she knocked me down." " Close your eyes." "I think you got nicked." "It's a worm." "Oh, God." "You have to kill me." "Once I turn, I'm gonna go after them, right?" " The ones you love." "Release him." "Do it now before it's too late." "No!" "Okay." "Will you tell your mom to call me, okay?" "None of this texting shit." "Okay." "Maybe her phone broke or she lost it?" "I left her a lot of messages." "Normally she calls me to tell me how annoying I am." "Maybe the battery died." "Sometimes she forgets to charge it." "My God, with the noise all day." "The cops, helicopters." "I don't know what's going on." "Hey, hey, honey, honey." "Are you sure Matt's home?" "It's looking kind of dark in there." "Look, Ma." "There he is." "All right, all right." "You go quickly." "It's cold." "My God, what do you got in there?" "A dead dog?" "You tell her to call me even though I'm pissed off." "Okay." "Okay, darling." "You have a good one." "Bye." "Mom?" "Mom?" "Matt?" "That's my place right there." "What happened to the house?" "Mom?" "Oh, my God!" "For your protection, just in case." "To address the unrest in New York City." "You okay?" " I don't know." " Be right back." "Went into effect January 2013." "Leave me alone!" "Zack!" "Get down!" "Hurry." "No." "Get down." "Stay away from his body." "Are you okay?" "Are you bleeding?" "I don't think so." "Where's your mother?" "I don't know." "I just got home, and that's when he attacked me." "Who was that?" " My ex-wife's boyfriend." " Not anymore." "We should search the house." " Okay." " Is there a basement?" "If my wife is down there, nothing happens when my son's here." " Understand?" " Fair enough." "I'll search upstairs." "Did you hear me?" "Loud and clear." "Hey." " Where would I find some booze?" " I don't live here anymore." "Ah!" "Dad." "What's happening?" "This is part of the epidemic we've been investigating." "Matt was infected." "I need you to tell me, when was the last time you heard from your mother?" "This morning." "They were arguing about you because you told us to go to Vermont." "Matt thought that was stupid." "He didn't even come home last night." "Did you do that to Matt's face?" "No." "He was like that when I got here." "He was wounded in another fight." "Use your inhaler." "Just relax." "The house is empty." "You understand that if the worst has happened, your wife will return for her son?" "We should take him from here quickly." "Yeah." "And you must get rid of that body." "How?" "We burn it." "I never felt so sick... in my whole life." "This asshole promised me a doctor." "How many times I gotta tell you to get a doctor in here?" "This some illegal shit." "We got rights." "Look at him, man." "He's dying." "You hear me?" "He's not the only one suffering." "A lot of guys are coming in here sick." "The city's system for first responders is messed up." "That's bullshit!" "If it's such an emergency, bring more doctors in here." "Settle down." "We got a transport van out back to take you to Rikers in a few minutes." "No, we not going nowhere until he sees a doctor." "He's not gonna make it to Rikers!" "If you want your friend to stay alive, get his ass on the van." "There's a doctor who checks every new arrival at intake." "Elizalde, Williams," "Orlando, Riley, up and at 'em." "Come on." "We're gonna get you some help." "Hey, yo." "Help me get him up." "All right." "On three." "One, two, three." "Help me, Gus!" "I'm here." "I'm right here, okay?" "Gracias, mano." "I know you do." "How did you get out of jail?" " I escaped." " From the FBI?" "For real?" "I saw an opening, and I took it." "I shouldn't have been arrested to begin with." "I didn't do anything wrong." "Here, this is warmer." "Where did you get that dagger?" "Uh, from Mr. Setrakian, the older man from downstairs." "He's helping us out." "Now, listen, Zack." "I have to stay here and fix the place up." "Your mom will flip if she sees it like this." "Okay." "Mr. Setrakian will take you to his pawn shop." "That's where I've been hiding out." "I trust him." "He'll protect you, and I'll be right behind." " Nothing will stop me from getting there." " Okay." "What about Mom, Dad?" "Did something happen to her?" "I don't know where your mom is, but I'm gonna find her." "Your mom's a survivor." "Hey, you want some?" "I had some bread." "Can I get you something?" "You know, if we had handled your friend the way you wanted to, we'd all be dead." "There is no hope for those who are infected." "You must understand this." "You don't know everything." "No, but I do know about this." "I did what needed to be done." " He's right." " Nobody's asking you." "How would you have handled it?" "Hmm?" "Teach me something." "If someone was going to help him die, it should have been one of us." "Someone who loved him." "Oh." "But you weren't ready to do it." "I can't teach you how to be a human being." "Eat your baloney." "Well, if we're about done here, I'd love a ride home." "We're done." "I'll drop you." "Then we go to my shop." "I have things there... to plan for our next battle." "Zack is going back with you." "I'll meet you in an hour." "I'm trusting you with him." "Please, take good care of him." "Of course." "I'm trusting you." "Yes, I know." "My hearing is excellent." "I'm staying too." "We'll get it done faster." " I'm Fet." " Zack." "Maybe it's weird to say, but... it hurt me too, seeing that happen to your friend." "Even if it was the only way." "Sorry." "Thank you." "Don't lei the cops get you again." "Cops are very busy." "They don't have time for me." "When Mom comes back, tell her I'm mad, and Diane is mad too." "You first." "Go on." "Thanks for the lift." "It's been a real blast." "I'm coming up with you to make sure it's safe." "Fine." "I'm not making out with you though." "Nikki?" "Nikki?" "No, no, no, no." "No, no, no." "Bitch." "Nikki, I'm gonna kill you!" "Shit." "She stole my backup." "Nikki, the girl I was with at the store" "She, um, stole all my money." "Every last penny that I had." "This is why I don't have roommates." "Yeah, that and 'cause you're 40." "We were more than roommates." "We were very close." "This is why I don't have friends." "She took my laptop." "Everything I have is on my laptop." "Maybe, um, she thought you were dead." "That's even worse." "All the bloody, ugly shit that you lov" "He's trying to, uh, be seen to do something even though it may be the wrong thing." "The session closed without- Come up here, son." "The governor, who's up for reelection later this year, will be meeting... with federal officials tomorrow to ask that the city be declared a disaster area." "What's the matter?" "My mother's gonna be upset about her boyfriend, Mart, being dead." "I" " I know you'll find this hard to believe, but, uh," "Matt came after you because he loved you." "Why did you call him a vampire?" "Because that's what he turned into." "My dad didn't use that word." "He will." "Trust me." "There's power in naming things." "He was so mad at me." "No, no, no." "He, uh" "He was hungry, like a rabid animal." "No different." "Beloved dogs turn on you after they've been bitten... by a fox or a bat or any- any infected animal." "Think of it as rabies being passed from human to human." "Mourn Matt's passing." "Then move on." "Life will insist." "You mustn't fail life." "A230385?" "What are you doing in here?" "You are bereft after finishing that superb project." "Yes." "I've read artists are afflicted that way." "The emptiness that follows when a great thing has been completed." "The fear that you will never be able to replicate it." "Perhaps you are correct, Herr Standartenfürer." "What will become of us?" "For now you will rejoin the others." "Yes." "You okay?" " Yeah." " I'm gonna go." "Ronnie, not now." "Okay?" "The boy smokes so much weed his brain is fried." "Ronnie, this isn't your apartment." "Ronnie?" "Ah, this was handy." "You can't stay here." "This building's infected." "He was like a little brother." "No, no, no, no, no." "Stay away from the body, all right?" "Look at me." "You go grab some clothes, and we're gonna go." "Yeah?" "You all right?" "Go." "We've been waiting." "We would be gone had you left the keys." "Which is why I didn't." "It wasn't good in there." "Were there vampires?" " Yeah." " Well, then, we best get moving." "I assume she's coming with us." "She's coming with us." "Right then." "Well, since you've decided, let's go." "You think this is funny?" "Leaving me here?" "Who are these people?" "I'm not cooking for them." "Nora's mother." "Yeah, obviously." "Come." "Close the door." "Whoa." "My God." "It's like the Batcave." "Read and learn." "It will, uh- It will help you." "You saw this coming, huh?" "I hoped it wouldn't." "There must be humans helping this cause." "Do you know who they are?" "No, but I can speculate." "Those who are seduced by the promise of power, who yearn to leave a mark... that will somehow elevate them." "They inadvertently hurt many people, but, inadvertent or not, the damage is done." " May I?" " Sure." "Yes." "We can get the Master, the one responsible for all this, but I need your help." "You're unsentimental." "Precise, not- not ruled by your emotions." "I have feelings." "Leave the feeling to others." "He is nesting somewhere in the city." "You know New York." "We could find him if we work together." "I'm going home to get a few things." "I'll be back." "Do you think Kelly did that to his face?" "I do." "And I hope she got away." "Where the hell is she?" "She could be anywhere." "Maybe Matt scared her and she's hiding somewhere." "In Argentina, you inherit the dread of things turning upside down overnight." "Just like this." "People disappeared." "This isn't Argentina." "She's not disappeared." "My son isn't growing up without a mother." "I can't believe Jim is gone." "He was the kindest man I knew." "Always generous." "Always." "When he lifted up his shirt and I saw his back, that was the worst moment of my life." "This is the weirdest memorial ever." "Should we say something about" "Matt." "No." "Back at the store you said the vampires were targeting us." "Is that true?" "It is." "These are coordinated assaults, disabling methods of communication." "The, uh, Intemet, cell phones, they're all pan of it, making sure people don't put the pieces together." "Do you know who Eldritch Palmer is?" "One of the most powerful men in the world, yes." " He hired me." " To do what?" "I thought it was about corporate bullshit and greed, about making him more money." "What did you do?" "I worked my ass off to shut the Internet down." "You disrupted communication on behalf of Eldritch Palmer." "Me and my hacker group, yeah." "I had malware in the city's top four fiber-optic centers." "Crashed the shit out of those." "Plus Twitter and Facebook, and a big chunk of the deep web." "Now, normal people don't even know what that is." "But it's all dark now." "Well, I, uh- I appreciate your honesty." "Yeah, I was feeling so superior, like I'd gotten one over on those bloody assholes." "Took all their money." "Which is now stolen from me." "Deserved that." "I should've followed my instincts." "Did not like that plastic-faced freak." "Stomach dropped the moment I saw him." "Who was that?" "With Palmer." "Some German dude." "We weren't introduced." "Yes." "Can you undo what you've done?" "Isn't it too late for that?" "We don't ever make that concession." "Abraham." "You have watched me for how many nights?" "Eyes open, lying there, thinking I can't see you." "After all this time, is this the best you could do to try to stop me?" "Oh, God!" "Please help me!" "Where is he?" "Where is your God?" "I don't see him." "There is no one to help you, wood-carver." "Get off." "You better swallow that shit." "Mind your business." "Give me some space, man." "When I get out of these cuffs," "I'm gonna knock out whatever's left of those rotten-ass teeth you got." "You hear me?" "Bitch?" "Are you all right, Felix?" "Felix." "Hey, cut the shit back there!" " What is that?" " Get us out of here, man!" "Oh, my God!" "Male, armed with a 9mm." "Please use extreme caution." "Yeah." "I know I left you there for a long time." "I'm sorry." "Is she all right?" "This is Dispatch." "Please respond." "Do you need assistance?" "Hurry up!" "Let us out of here!" "Come on!" "Get us out of here!" "Assholes!" "Nobody better move!" "Help us out!" "Shut up!" "Get us out of here, man!" "What are you doing?" "Oh, my God!" "Let me outta here!" "Shoot him!" "Shoot him!" "Shoot him!" "Perdóname, hermano." "Felix!" "Does my dad have the key?" "Yeah." "I hope nothing happened to him." "Do you think he's on his way?" "He will be here." "I promise you." "It" "It takes time to do what he has to do." "What does he have to do?" "Please, David." "David!" "My fingers." "Can you help straighten them?" "Please." "Just help." "Did the guards do this to you?" "Yes." "They caught me stealing bread and crushed my hands in the pantry door." "Please." "Just pull as hard as you can." "Okay." "Sorry." "That group." "You, this group." "You, that group." "That group." "Are you not well?" "I am fine." "Do you hide something in your hands?" "No, sir." "Show them to me." "This group." "Up!" "Hurry up!" "That group!" "No, this group!" "Come on!" "That group!" "I can't." "I can't." "I can't." "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "Pull him over, please!" "Please!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Run!" "Run!" "Come on!" "Kelly, are you home?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "What?" "Are you freaking kidding me?" "What are you doing here?" "Where's Kelly?" "What am I doing?" "What are you doing here?" "Beyond the obvious." "Zack's not answering his texts." "Kelly's MIA all day." "I'm looking for her is what I'm doing here." "And who are you?" " Nora." " Oh, right." "Yeah, yeah, okay." "You're Nora." "Yeah, Kelly's told me a lot about you." "You two work together, right?" " Where's Zack, Eph?" " He's fine, He's with my colleagues." "It's not safe here." " She's serious." "Get out of town as soon as possible." "Oh, yeah." "This is amazing." "Right, right." "In all your concerned state, you still find time to screw on the rug?" "This is important, Diane." "If you hear from her, call me." "That's Nora's number." "I lost my phone." "Please." "Hey, you hurt my friend, I will cut your heart out." "Just so you know." "I love my wife." "She's the mother of my son." "I'd do anything to find her." "Yeah, okay." "We should go." "Your son's waiting for you." "Yeah, she's definitely calling the cops." "Don't forget your dagger." "New York City emergency rooms are swamped with patients... complaining of flu-like symptoms." "Doctors have been unable to identify the cause of the illness... and refuse to speculate on whether it may be related...." "To rising absentee rates among police, firefighters" "Ah." "Good." "You're back." "I'm back." "Did Mr. Setrakian take good care of you?" "Yeah." "Did you burn Matt's body?" "Yes, I did." "Did you hear anything from Mom?" "No." "Um, Diane came by the house." "I couldn't tell her about Matt." "She must be mad." "She wasn't happy." "She's not my biggest fan." "She makes Mom laugh." "That's good." "So, Mom?" "First thing tomorrow." "Maybe I can help too." "Of course." "We're a team." "Why have you forsaken me?" "I have done everything you asked." "Yes, Herr Eichhorst, you have." "I'm ready." "Then it is time." "To a new order."
