"This is humiliating, Dad." "No." "Not as humiliating as being the parent of the only child sent home from his school with lice." "That shampoo smells like urinal cakes." "Smelling like a men's room is a small price to pay for ridding your scalp of parasites." "How'd I get lice anyways?" "You tell me." "You come in contact with anything out of the ordinary lately?" "No." "Unless you count that squirrel with the foaming mouth" "I've been playing with." "It's a good thing they sent you home." "All it takes is one unclean child to start a full-blown outbreak." "What's an outbreak?" "That's when an illness is passed from person to person until it becomes widespread." "How is it passed?" "Well, one could come in contact with a sick person or maybe even something they've touched." "Like a comb?" "Exactly." "Like a comb." "Wait, why'd you say comb?" "Because I used yours this morning." "Shawn?" "(GRUNTS)" "Oh, my God." "Damn it." "I don't know what smells worse." "That breakfast burrito, or those nacho cheese corn nuts you used to eat." "Well, let's do a smell test." "Here." "Close your eyes." "Dude, I demand to know what's going on with you." "Whatever do you mean?" "Why are you eating stinky food and dressed like you're about to go tailgating?" "I'll tell you exactly why." "Because I can." "Okay." "I get it." "So now that you're single, you're doing all the things" "Abigail wouldn't let you do while you were dating." "You nailed it." "Which is why I'm TiVo-ing Blame It On Rio, as we speak." "And dude," "(GRUNTS) my favorite ringer is back." "Please tell me it's not..." "ringtone: (RAPPlNG) All I wanna do is zoom a zoom, zoom, zoom" "And a boom, boom" "(RAPPlNG) Just shake your rump!" "I also put my favorite piece of art back on the wall." "It's not art, Shawn." "It's a poster of a hot blonde laying on a Corvette that says, "Hauling Ass."" "Well, if it's not art, why did I insure it for half a million dollars?" "Because you're an idiot." "Guys?" "Hi." "Jules." "What's up?" "Oh, why does it smell like old diaper?" "Beats me." "What's up with you?" "Oh, I'm actually meeting this guy for coffee." "You mean, like a date?" "Mmm, I guess you could call it that." "Well, what if we didn't?" "Oh, it's with Richard, from Forensics." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "Oh, we know Richard from Forensics." "It's the guy with the big, uh..." "You know that giant..." "Giant set of, uh..." "Ears?" "Oh, no." "I've never noticed his ears." "You know me." "Mr. Non-Judgmental." "He also goes by Mr. Dobalina." "Mr. Bob Dobalina." "Well, I'm actually running late, so maybe I'll see you guys later." "Bye, Jules." "Good luck." "Jealous much?" "(CHUCKLES) Of who?" "Richard?" "The man looks like a cab with its doors open." "Please." "That's why you were all," ""What do you mean?" "Like a date?"" "All right, first of all, you have to stop using the "I'm not falling for no banana in my tailpipe" voice every time you imitate a white person." "Secondly, I'm a grown man," "I am confident and I can admit that, yes, I'm a little jealous." "So why don't you finally do something about it?" "She doesn't sound too keen on the guy." "Besides, you're not getting any younger, you know." "Yes." "But my hair is getting thicker, and I have seeds to sow." "Don't worry, guy who uses words like "keen,"" "there's plenty of time for me and Jules." "(SNORlNG)" "All right, what is this?" "(SHAWN CLEARS THROAT) Hey!" "Oh, hey." "Nice to meet you guys." "Uh, I'm Donny Leberman." "Did you have a few cocktails for breakfast there, Donny?" "Oh, no, do I reek?" "Yeah, I went out last night, got kind of wasted." "You smell like tequila." "Which is still preferable to those corn nuts." "That's just a lie." "Look, you guys gotta help me." "Okay, because I messed up." "I mean, I really, really messed up." "It's not your fault." "Oh, good." "How do you know?" "I don't, but when people say that in movies, things seem to get fixed almost magically." "Here's the deal." "I work for a courier service that specializes in the transport of biomedical materials." "And yesterday I was told to pick up a cooler from a lab called GenuTech, take it back to my hotel by the airport, then fly it to CDC Headquarters in Atlanta this morning." "But, like an idiot, I went out." "And when I woke up this morning the cooler was gone." "And I have no idea what I did with it, because I was so drunk, the entire night's a blur." "It's not your fault." "Shawn." "What exactly was in the cooler?" "Kidney?" "Ooh, the disembodied soul of Marsellus Wallace?" "Okay, please know that I would have never gone out had I known at the time what was inside the cooler." "Donny, what was in the cooler?" "(STUTTERS) The Thornburg virus." ""The Thornburg virus"?" "Thornburg?" "What does this have to do with Richard Chamberlain?" "That's The Thorn Birds." "Thornburg is an extremely rare virus that usually targets people in Africa, which makes it racist, by the way." "Let me get this straight." "You hit the town, got sloppy drunk, passed out, woke up without a virus?" "(CHUCKLES) lsn't it usually the other way around?" "Normally, I would notify the police or the CDC in a situation like this, but I was just thinking that maybe if we find it first, no one has to be the wiser." "Is there anything else besides the cooler that's missing?" "Yes, my antique gold watch given to me by my father." "Donny, if someone were to open this cooler, what would happen exactly?" "Uh, well, if someone went so far as to touch the contents of the vial that..." "Ooh, that would not be good." "How not good are we talking?" "Well, Thornburg moves pretty quickly once you have it, you know, and there's a host of symptoms." "It's headaches, weakness, bleeding." "Sometimes even from the eyes." "Excuse me, miss." "Miss!" "In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity" "I'm not inclined to resign to maturity" "If it's all right then you're all wrong" "But why bounce around to the same damn song?" "You'd rather run when you can't crawl" "I know, you know That I'm not telling the truth" "I know, you know They just don't have any proof" "Embrace the deception Learn how to bend" "Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end" "I know, you know" "I know, you know" "SHAWN:" "Dude, we should come back here and hang out with our skateboards." "You know that's right." "Wow." "I have never seen the two of you arrive so fast at a police scene." "Well, you've never seen us called to one with a grape slushie machine in the back, either." "Is it true that the woman who died had blood dripping from her eye?" "Yeah." "It's really freaky." "She's right there." "There's no id on the body yet." "Probably just another junkie." "(EXCLAlMS) Hold up." "Hold up." "I'm getting something." "Granted, this could be some kind of" "Pavlovian brain freeze caused by the slushie machine, but..." "No." "This is real." "Drugs did not kill that woman." "It was The Thorn Birds virus." "Do you mean Thornburg?" "What he said." "The Thornburg virus, I studied that in school." "What, has there ever been a case in the U.S.?" "No." "There's not enough black people." "There's never been a case in the U.S. before today." "Has anyone touched that body?" "Not yet." "Still waiting for the coroner's office to get here." "SHAWN:" "I strongly suggest no one go near it unless they're wearing one of those big, uh, cumbersome, stay puff, protective suits." "Hazmat?" "Jules, please don't make up words." "Spencer, I'm not about to create mass hysteria just because you saw Outbreak this weekend." "Dude, I saw that movie once, like, 10 years ago, and I missed the first 23 minutes altogether." "He has an irrational fear of Patrick Dempsey." "It's very rational." "It's rational." "Either of you watch Grey's Anatomy?" "The man is completely terrifying." "You're just jealous of his hair." "Well, there's that." "There's only that." "Trust me, Lassie, I'm getting a very clear signal on this." "Thornburg virus." "There's no way." "Right, O'Hara?" "Step away from that body." "That's an order." "O'Hara?" "I don't want to take the chance that he's wrong." "I'm going to call the CDC." "(sighs) You were right to raise the possibility, Shawn, even if it turns out that it wasn't Thornburg that got her." "I don't think we're going to get that lucky." "SHAWN:" "Donny!" "Does this woman look familiar to you?" "Uh... (STUTTERlNG) No." "Is she dead?" "As a bag of rocks." "It's dumb as a bag of rocks, Shawn." "Guess what she was wearing on her wrist, Donny?" "Don't know." "Your watch." "So I killed her?" "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "The tequila, it turned me into Ted Bundy." "No, Donny, you're not Ted Bundy." "You didn't kill her, not directly." "There was blood dripping from her eye." "She had Thornburg?" "It's a possibility." "If she had your watch, she may have also had your cooler." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "No." "Oh, no, God!" "Oh..." "Donny, breathe." "Stop." "Breathe in, breathe out." "In, out." "Here, chew this gum." "(EXCLAlMS)" "Mmm." "It's delicious." "Explosion of flavor, right?" "Delicious." "Yeah." "Now, listen, if we're going to retrieve your cooler, we have to figure out who this woman is." "Are you sure you've never seen her before?" "I don't know." "Concentrate, man." "Yes, sir." "Oh, we were drinking together last night." "Great." "What else?" "We were eating." "Chicken katsu." "Yummy." "Apricot sauce?" "Shawn." "Do you remember where you were?" "No." "No, but the place had a bunch of tiki torches!" "Are you sure this is the place?" "I'm absolutely positive, Donny." "My psychic senses are never off." "And this is the bar in your hotel." "Okay, I'm never drinking again." "There he is." "There's the guy." "I have something of yours." "You do?" "Yeah." "Here it is." "No, no, no, leave it!" "No, no!" "You remember wearing this thing?" "You were like, "Check me out!" "I'm rainbow man."" "You're a mad man." "Hey, let me buy you and your friends a drink." "I will have a club soda with three pineapple wedges, and if you can get the "hippy, hippy shake" going, flip a few glasses and introduce me to Elisabeth Shue, there's an extra fiver in it for you." "We're actually here to help rainbow man fill in the blanks from last night." "He's having a hard time remembering." "I bet." "He and a smoking brunette." "Must have had 20 tequila shots." "You wouldn't happen to remember the smoking brunette's name, would you?" "I believe her name was Ginger." "Ginger." "Do you know where they went, by chance?" "Don't worry." "I do." "Wow." "I can't believe it." "This is crazy." "So, I took her back to my room?" "I never do that." "Is it possible I have game?" "Apparently you did last night." "She was quite taken with you." "Really?" "No." "She's a prostitute." "(CHUCKLES)" "Come on." "Think about it." "You met her in a hotel bar." "Plus her name is Ginger, Donny." "Throughout history, there's only two Gingers that weren't prostitutes," "Ginger Rogers and Ginger from Gilligan's Island." "And I still have my suspicions about the latter." "In fact, Gus, I've made my decision." "She was a filthy, pirate hooker." "You know that's right." "Yeah, well, at least I scored, right?" "Donny, your friend Ginger targeted you, okay?" "That means her plan was to get you sloppy drunk, wait till you pass out and rob you blind." "Yeah, but why would she take the cooler?" "Maybe she thought it contained something valuable." "The stuff I transfer is really valuable." "That's probably right." "ringtone: (RAPPlNG) All I wanna do is..." "Oh, it's me." "I cannot wait till you find a new girlfriend." "Jules." "Shawn, you were totally right." "About what, Atlantis?" "No." "No." "About the girl." "She had Thornburg." "Oh, we can't be a 100% sure." "I mean, but all of her symptoms are consistent." "CDC's on its way." "Oh, and her name was Jennifer Cotsitas." "Let me guess, she's a prostitute who went by the name Ginger." "Wow." "You nailed it." "Yeah, um, you know what?" "It's really important that I get this girl's address." "I need to go by there." "Uh, that's where I'm calling you from." "And Shawn, she must be a great hooker." "This place is sweet." "You kidding?" "Listen to me, Jules, if you see anything that even resembles a cooler, don't go near it, okay?" "No." "Don't worry." "We have combed this place head to toe and there's absolutely nothing like that here." "Oh, but get this, in one of her drawers, we found $10,000 in cash in a fresh envelope." "Hold on a second." "You wouldn't happen to be missing 10 grand, would you?" "Are you kidding?" "I can't be missing something I never had." "Gus, somebody hired her to steal the cooler." "I'm back." "JULlET:" "Oh, and one more thing." "In that envelope, we found one of those old school hotel keys to the El Capitan." "Let me guess, room 106?" "No." "But that's really close." "It's room 1 28." "One twenty eight?" "Whoa!" "Hey, hey, excuse me." "We just checked into this room." "You think you could come back a little bit later?" "But it's not clean." "That's okay." "Neither are we." "Thank you." "Gus, check this out." "That's weird." "Let me call the front desk." "What's going on?" "GUS:" "Hello, yes..." "Donny, whoever rented this room paid our friend Ginger to steal the cooler from you." "He gave her a key, he waited for her to make the drop and I'm guessing curiosity got the best of her, and she opened it up before handing it over." "But why would someone want to buy the virus?" "I have a guess." "And much like this bedspread, it's not pretty." "This room was paid for in cash and registered to a Val Kilmer." "It's either an alias, or Val has officially lost it." "So what now?" "I could go for some joe." "CARLTON:" "This is a waste of time." "We're rushing to check out some coffee place that some mysterious person who may or may not be carrying a deadly virus may or may not have visited." "Well, I, for one, trust Mr. Spencer's instincts on this." "Who the hell is this?" "Carlton, we need to look into every possible lead at this point." "Besides, you were already wrong once today." "I've never seen Lassie put in his place like that." "It was hot." "I'd like her to put me in my place." "That makes no sense, Shawn." "Whoa." "What?" "Spencer, what the hell are you doing?" "Hey!" "Sorry, man, you might want to get a biscotti." "You could be in there for a while." "CDC is pretty much done in there." "Everyone from the cafe has been moved into quarantine in Santa Barbara General." "I want you to wipe that smile off your face, McNab." "I mean, is this really necessary?" "I didn't even go inside the cafe." "DONNY:" "Oh, it's necessary." "Yeah, the CDC doesn't want to take any chances, so..." "For the last time, who the hell is this?" "Oh, I'm Donny Leberman." "Hey, I'm the guy who screwed all this up." "I'm not big on nude handshakes." "Oh." "They're probably just being safe, Carlton." "Ooh, that tickles." "Spencer, are you shampooing your hair?" "Yes, I am Lassie." "I always travel with a small packet of Johnson  Johnson's baby shampoo in my wallet." "Baby shampoo?" "No more tears, Jules." "Hmm." "Whoa, take it easy, slugger." "What are we, dating?" "I can't believe this, Shawn." "First, we're looking for a prostitute, now I'm naked in a parking lot?" "It's just like our prom night." "Shawn." "Gus, relax." "Don't be Nick Cage's accent from Con Air." "We've bathed together before." "When we were three." "It's essentially the same thing." "It's just impolite to pee." "That feels great, by the way." "Do you have any aloe?" "Dude, I'm freezing, give me your damn sweatshirt." "No." "Fine." "Lucky I had it in the car." "You'll like how it smells." "Smell it." "CARLTON:" "Doctor." "Detective Carlton Lassiter." "Dr. Steven Reidman, Thornburg specialist, CDC." "Dr. Reidman is the foremost Thornburg authority, not only in this state, but in all seven continents." "He's here to help us." "Is he, Jules?" "No offense, "Doctor," but there's a lot of freaky deaky stuff going on." "How can we be sure that you're a legit MD?" "Well, for starters, I carry one of these in my pocket." "He's legit." "Excuse me, Doctor, I feel I'm the most at risk, being that this virus is a profiling racist." "I'm going to need an mri, a CAT scan, a PET scan and a biopsy of everything." "I'd like some mac and cheese, but I don't think this is ask-for-whatever-you-want day." "GUS:" "Shawn, this is not..." "Would you stop it?" "What do we know so far?" "I had this hospital prepared as soon as I heard that the virus had been stolen." "Now, the cafe patrons are currently in isolation along with the courier, because he was around the virus a lot." "Now, so far, only two are showing the early symptoms of Thornburg." "Only two?" "Thank God." "I will hazard a guess that they touched the sample accidently." "Because the virus is not typically effective as an aerosol." "Unlike Axe for men, which is highly effective." "It's like catnip for women." "As I was saying, normally, one has to come in contact with an infected person's secretions." "But the good news is, if any of these people were infected, there is a lab less than two hours away in which they are developing a new antiviral that has shown positive results in early testing." "When's it going to get here?" "En route as we speak." "And since our culprit has already used his sample," "I think it's safe to say that we have this problem pretty well bottled up." "Potential disaster averted." "Speaking of disasters, Doctor, what is your opinion of Detective Lassiter's hair?" "Well, scientifically, if he were to grow it, his ears wouldn't stick out as much." "Well, if you would..." "Carlton." "We need to get an id on the man who did this." "Is it safe to interview the patients?" "Just remember to wear the hazmat suit." "Spencer One to ground control." "I am ready to commence orbit." "(MlMlCKlNG static)" "We read you loud and clear, Spencer One." "Good luck." "Greetings, I'm Shawn Spencer." "(MlMlCKlNG static) (MlMlCKlNG static) Stop, Shawn." "Roger that, ground control." "(MlMlCKlNG static)" "So, Melissa, hello." "Did you notice anyone suspicious in the cafe today?" "Anyone who entered or left abruptly?" "Not really." "But I was reading my book most of the time." "I see." "And how are you feeling?" "Nervous mostly." "Perfectly normal." "Do you need us to contact anyone for you?" "A husband?" "Or a boyfriend?" "Um, I'm single." "But my sister's on her way." "Oh, really?" "Gus, you should be ashamed of yourself." "Let me handle this." "Melissa, how many sexual partners have you had in the last six months?" "(MOUTHlNG) Shawn." "ringtone: (RAPPlNG) All I wanna do is zoom a zoom, zoom, zoom" "Enough with that song already." "I can't reach my back pocket." "You'll have to punch me in the ass." "You must be out of your mind." "Just sock me in the butt." "No, Shawn." "Do you guys work for the hospital?" "So, you didn't notice anything suspicious in the cafe?" "No." "According to your file, under medications, you've listed neither Rogaine nor Minoxidil." "Is that correct?" "That's right." "Really?" "You don't want to try either of those?" "No." "Why?" "Dude, I think there's something wrong with my suit." "There's some rank smell in here now. (SNlFFS)" "You're like a giant Dutch oven." "Wait a second, I feel a bulge in your sweatshirt pocket." "Are those your damn corn nuts?" "Ooh, I was looking for those." "Nothing should smell that bad." "Gus, you can't take that off." "What?" "Why not?" "You have to make a choice between nacho-cheese heaven and something that could potentially kill you." "Well?" "I'm thinking." "Nine people questioned and nothing." "What next?" "Next, taste these." "Okay, the antivirals are here." "Let's get them unpacked and administered to the sick." "Yesterday, I was told to go and pick up a cooler from a lab called GenuTech." "Dude, the same lab that had the vial of Thornburg is also supplying the cure." "Don't you think that's weird?" "I still smell like stinky nuts, Shawn." "Gus, we don't have four hours to riff on that." "Let's go." "(SNlFFS)" "(SHAWN SlGHlNG)" "Dude, check it out." "It's Christopher Lloyd." "Shawn, that man does not look like Christopher Lloyd, and show some respect." "He's 14 times smarter than you." "All right, I'm sorry." "Can I help you?" "We're working with the cops and the CDC on this outbreak thing." "Oh, look, I already told those guys that we shipped all the antivirals that we had in storage." "You shipped everything you had for two sick patients?" "Apparently they're going to need every drop." "Dr. Reidman says that the first patient needed four times the dosage that we'd estimated." "And they want to administer it to everyone just to be safe." "So you're making more?" "Not yet." "We were shut down a week ago." "For striking a clock tower with lightning?" "No." "(CHUCKLES)" "We lost our funding because the government didn't see Thornburg as a serious threat." "But all these people getting sick is great news." "Great for the lab, I mean, and great for Dr. Mallon." "Dr. Mallon?" "This is his lab." "He got the funding to open up this place." "He's been working on the antiviral drug for years." "But if this thing gets worse, we might start back up." "Excuse us, we're gonna sidebar, eh." "So, this Dr. Mallon spends years working on a cure." "He develops it, then his lab gets shut down, then, miraculously, a few days later, a Thornburg outbreak happens?" "He took a sample of the virus to infect people, and then forced the government to put his lab back in business." "Ooh." "We're back." "Hi." "So, tell me, since Dr. Mallon isn't here, whereabouts might we find him?" "I'm not sure." "I've been trying to call him." "But you can look for his address in that box." "It's the stuff that was left over from his office after it was emptied." "Thanks." "Yeah." "Do you think they have any radioactive spiders here?" "Shawn, focus." "Let's see what we got." "Fan of the theater." "Gus." "No." "Why?" "We've already got this guy in quarantine." "Shawn, we're a little busy right now." "The second person who tested positive for Thornburg just broke out of the hospital before we treated him with the antiviral." "Yeah, uh, let me take a psychic stab at that." "Pasty white guy, desperately in need of hair plugs." "Wow." "That's right." "Yeah, well, don't worry about him being sick." "I'm sensing that he has his own stash of the cure." "How is that possible?" "Because not only did he invent it," "I am sensing that he also stole the Thornburg, and then released it." "Oh, God." "It's okay." "Luckily there was only one vial of the virus, and he's already used that." "Excuse me." "We shipped three vials of the virus." "Not one." "There's two more?" "Scratch that, Jules." "We have a big, big problem." "(lNDlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG)" "You know, you've never actually led a manhunt before, so maybe I should be the one to instruct the troops on finding Mallon." "No." "I ordered the coroner to diagnose the first victim," "I called in the CDC, I should do the briefing." "Okay." "Just remember, exude confidence and strength, but also heart and warmth." "You want to get behind the troops, try to project intelligence, without sounding too..." "Pompous?" "Exactly." "You might just get this." "All right, everybody, listen up." "Give us your attention, please." "Attention!" "Eyes on Detective O'Hara." "You're going to do great." "This is Dr. Anthony Mallon." "Finding him is the department's number one priority." "Find him, but do not confront him." "Yes, thank you, Detective." "Do not confront him." "If you do locate him..." "Call for backup." "Thank you again, Detective." "Do not startle him." "He is carrying a very dangerous..." "Virus!" "If I may, Detective," "Iocating and bringing him in safely is crucial." "And keep in mind that the best place for Mallon to release her is in a public crowded place, preferably with a lot of people coming and going frequently." "Yes?" "Her?" "Thornburg." "You refer to the virus in the feminine tense?" "Indeed." "If you knew her as I do, there's no mistaking her for anything other than a she." "That doesn't make any sense." "Neither do women." "I hear that." "Hmm." "SHAWN:" "Fan of the theater." "I'm getting something." "Uh, I think I know what the next target might be." "I see the bus station and the Santa Barbara Public Theater." "Both of those targets would work, because both have heavy foot traffic." "But I would bet on the bus station, because there's greater population turnover." "All right, everybody, you heard him!" "Let's move." "Let's..." "Excuse me, you say you divine this psychically?" "That's right." "Fascinating." "If you should pass away, I would love to dissect your temporal lobe." "Sure." "I can't possibly see why not." "But I'm hoping you get us all through this thing alive." "Yes, in that case, I would love to get my hands on a sample of your DNA." "Weird." "Uncomfortable." "Consider it done." "You know, I'm actually the brains behind this operation, so you might want to get mine." "I could care less about your secretions." "However," "I would love to get my craniometer around that giant raisinette of yours." "Or is it a goober, possibly a milk ball." "I say milk ball." "It's milk ball." "All right, cover those exits." "I do not want this guy getting away from us again." "And whatever you do, don't start a panic." "Go." "(GLASS crunching)" "Aw, hell." "Citizens, stay away from this area." "You may have already been exposed to a deadly biological agent." "It is important that you do not leave because you could spread it to your loved ones and kill them." "Detective, this is a broken light bulb." "As you were." "What?" "Some light bulbs have halogen gas in them." "And tungsten." "There's a fun word." "Tungsten." "Tungsten." "Tungsten." "Correction, it's only fun to say twice." "Spencer, why don't you get out of sight?" "All right?" "Mallon knows what you look like, and you're not trained in covert surveillance." "Really?" "What part of training is announcing our presence with a megaphone?" "Just go hide in a bathroom and stay out of our way." "All right, we'll go." "Not because you told us to." "Gus has to tinkle." "Yes." "He must be out of his mind if he thinks I'm going to hide in a bus station bathroom all day." "(CHUCKLES)" "Gus, that's him." "That's him!" "(GRUNTlNG)" "(WOMAN CHATTERlNG ON PA)" "(PEOPLE exclaiming)" "Hold it!" "ALL:" "No!" "(ALL exclaiming)" "Ah!" "You should be all right, Shawn." "The seal on the vial is unbroken." "We are lucky as lint that you grabbed it." "Uh, I'm no hero, Steve." "I didn't do anything that anyone with incredible upper-body strength and Native American cheekbones wouldn't do." "Hmm." "Hero?" "Because of you, we lost Mallon." "He probably ran when he saw you." "You blew the whole operation, Spencer." "I told you to go hide in the toilet." "CARLTON ON radio:" "All units, move to secondary target." "It's the theater on Main Street." "Gus, something doesn't make sense to me." "He was on his way out when I spotted him." "Why would he leave before releasing the jujumagumbo?" "He aborted his plan." "That guy saw Mallon hovering by a newsstand, said he was sweating pretty badly." "Really?" "(PANTlNG)" "I'm sensing he was limping as well, barely noticeable." "He's sick, Jules." "He has Thornburg." "I thought he had the cure." "Apparently they're going to need every drop." "Dr. Reidman says that the first patient needed four times the dosage that we'd estimated." "He does." "But he didn't realize it wouldn't be enough." "He must have started showing symptoms when he got here, and then he booked." "I can see him." "It's either him or Michael Ironside." "Why would you be having a vision of Michael Ironside?" "Exactly!" "I know where he's going." "(PANTlNG)" "Looking for this?" "It's the last of your cure." "That's why you came back to the hospital, isn't it?" "You've been self-medicating, but you're still infected, because you didn't realize how much of this stuff it takes to fight your little virus." "Give it to me." "Now!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "We know everything, man." "We know you did all of this to save your lab." "That wasn't why." "When they shut me down, they left you and me and the entire country wide open." "(COUGHS)" "Do you know how easily this stuff can be turned into a weapon?" "But now, after this, we'll be ready." "(coughing) Wow." "That's not your garden-variety-crazy-person logic." "Tell you what, I'll make you a trade." "Cure for the last vial of your virus." "(PANTlNG)" "Let me see it." "Same time." "Don't touch me, man." "JULlET:" "Shawn." "(GROANS)" "Is it there?" "(EXCLAlMS)" "Jules, what's going on?" "Shawn, don't come any closer!" "Hey, give me that medicine back!" "Give it to me now!" "Idiot!" "There isn't enough here to help anybody." "There's gotta be more somewhere." "Just tell me how." "I could save you both." "Victoria." "Who's that?" "Two hours from here." "(COUGHS)" "Too far." "(GASPS)" "Jules." "STEVEN:" "I think it's probable she contracted it." "In which case, she's going to need the antiviral ASAP." "Based on my observations of the other patients," "I've concluded that just a mask and gloves will be sufficient if you decide to enter the dragon." "We need to find out who Mallon was talking about when he said Victoria." "It could be anybody, girlfriend, relative, who knows?" "I got every detective in the department looking into it." "I just hope whoever it is has the cure." "ANTHONY:" "In Victoria!" "Victoria's not a person." "What do you mean?" "Victoria's a lake." "Isn't there a Lake Victoria around here somewhere?" "Pond, really." "It's about two hours from here." "Two hours from here." "I used to practice figure skating there when I was little." "I mean, ice hockey." "I'm getting a very strong hint that he has a place there." "Let's go check it out." "Yeah, uh, Gus, stay with Jules and call me if her condition changes." "All right." "Apparently, Mallon bought this place about 10 years ago." "That makes perfect sense." "He stashed a bunch of the cure up here, knowing it would be the perfect hideout after he released the virus." "We should..." "We should creep around back." "(BARKlNG)" "Stop!" "What are you, Michael Vick?" "I'm not going to shoot him." "He doesn't know that." "He doesn't know anything." "He's a dog." "Well, do you have any better ideas?" "Maybe." "Do you still keep all our softball gear in the trunk of your car?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Where are you going?" "No!" "Sit!" "Would you..." "Sit!" "Whatever you do, don't freak out." "I'm not freaking out." "Because it's normal if you do." "I think you're the one who's freaking out, Gus." "Yeah, because Thornburg is freaky." "But, don't worry, it likes white people." "You think Shawn and Lassiter are having any luck?" "I know one thing." "If the cure is out there, Shawn will stop at nothing to find it." "On three." "Three!" "(BARKlNG)" "Go, Lassie!" "Run like the wind!" "(screaming)" "Dude, did you get it?" "What?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it." "I got it." "Lassiter's running it down to Reidman now." "Nice." "Are you okay?" "I'm doing great." "I think I just had a life-changing experience, Gus." "What do you mean?" "Yeah, I was..." "I was..." "I was running." "I was being chased by a very angry Rottweiler, wearing catcher's gear, and I had an epiphany." "Wait a second, the Rottweiler was wearing catcher's gear?" "No, Gus, that would be crazy." "I was wearing the gear." "Okay." "Okay." "So I'm running and I realize two things." "One, I have a giant piece of beef jerky in my left front pocket." "So I grab it and I toss it, and then all of a sudden, the Rottweiler doesn't care about me anymore." "Two, I realize, in life, we never have as much time as we think we do." "What do you mean?" "I mean Jules." "I mean, all this time, right, we talk, we do our thing and I'm like, you know, if something's supposed to happen between us, it'll happen." "Just, boom, like magic beans coming down on me." "But the truth is, my God, she could die today, and she would never know how I feel." "So, what are you going to do about it?" "I'm going to do this." "Good news, poppy." "Yeah, I heard." "They got the cure." "I hadn't heard that." "But it doesn't matter anyway." "Detective O'Hara doesn't have Thornburg." "Really?" "All the tests came back negative." "She's got quite an immune system." "That's incredible." "Uh, do you mind if I'm the first one to tell her?" "Be my guest." "Great." "Excuse me." "Shawn." "Not now, Gus." "This will only take a minute." "Can it wait?" "I'm about to tell Juliet something important." "Why don't you go down to the cafeteria and get us some tricolored Jell-O?" "Shawn." "Please!" "I've got to get through this, man." "Come on." "(EXCLAlMS)" "Look, Jules, there are things that you need to know, and I have to say them." "Juliet, you don't have the Thornburg virus." "What?" "What?" "Are you kidding?" "No." "Dr. Reidman just told me." "Oh, my God." "Looks like you have more time than you thought." "Oh, my God!" "(LAUGHS)" "Oh, I'm so happy!" "I am not going to die in this disgusting room!" "That's so..." "That is so good." "Great!" "(STUTTERlNG) But I still want to say what I was gonna say, if that's okay." "Sure." "Okay, uh, Jules, how do I want to say this?" "Okay, you know how when we were kids, there were all those cool prizes at the bottom of cereal boxes?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Well, there are two kinds of kids." "There's the kid who flipped the box over and opened it from the bottom and grabbed the prize right away." "And then there was the kid who waited patiently and ate bowl after bowl of cereal until the prize just tumbled out on its own." "There's also a third kid named Mikey who will eat anything, including the prize." "He's not really important right now." "Okay." "And?" "I didn't wait." "I didn't wait for my decoder ring or my Frankenberry action figure when I was a kid." "So what am I waiting for now?" "All I know is that I don't want to miss out on the prize." "What are you trying to say, Shawn?" "That I..." "Hmm?" "I don't know." "Hey." "I heard the good news." "Hi." "Come here." "Oh, sorry." "(BOTH EXCLAlMlNG)" "Oh, sorry." "Was that too much?" "Yeah." "A little bit." "Just don't say anything." "I wasn't." "Hey, guys." "I heard you were here." "Donny, how are you, man?" "Good." "No, more than good, thanks to you guys." "You're thanking us for being in quarantine?" "Well, yes. (LAUGHS)" "Because, get this, while I was back there, I, uh, met a girl." "Oh, Donny, no." "Oh, no." "No, no." "Don't be silly." "Okay, this one is completely different." "She, uh..." "She just got here from Russia." "Yeah." "And okay, okay, there's a little bit of a language barrier, but she is so sweet, you know." "And apparently she only works nights, so clearly I'm fired." "And we can now spend all our days together, and she's already talking about moving in." "Donny, have you considered the outside possibility that this girl could be using you?" "Using me?" "Shawn, I hardly think so." "You got your watch back, right?" "Yes." "So where is it?" "Oh." "Olga." "Olga." "Good luck, Donny." "Great news." "All the patients were released from the hospital with a clean bill of health." "And..." "Here you go." "Professionally dry-cleaned." "This is what you do when you borrow someone's clothes." "This should be wrinkled and stinky." "Are you still obsessing over the Juliet thing?" "No." "Yes, you are." "Look, let's go check out the Sidney J. Furie Film Festival." "I'm talking Iron Eagle II, Lady Sings the Blues and Iron Eagle IV." "Well, if The Taking of Beverly Hills is included, count me in." "Steve, what are you and your porn 'stache doing here in our office?" "A deal is a deal." "It is indeed." "What are you talking about?" "I am not leaving here without your DNA." "Right." "I did say that I would..." "Well, you're in luck." "I just drank about a liter of Teas' Tea." "Let's take some measurements of that dome." "What?" "Shall we?" "Hold still." "Shawn!" "I know, you know That I'm not telling the truth" "I know, you know They just don't have any proof" "Embrace the deception Learn how to bend" "Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end" "I know, you know" "I know, you know" "I know, you know"
