" I can't find it." " Did you look under the desk?" "Why would it be under the desk?" "That's where I found your Seaborg medal." "How hard can it be to find a 160-year-old pump handle?" " Depends." " On what?" "On who's doing the finding." " Where did you..." " Where you left it." " You're a lifesaver." " So I've been told." "In 1854, London experienced a terrible cholera outbreak." "Local doctors attributed the epidemic" "To miasma, or bad air." "Then they responded to it by burning incense" "And promoting the sale of fragrant flowers." "[people laughing] Not, as you might imagine," "Terribly helpful to the 600 or so who died of the disease." "But a doctor and a clergyman" "Mapped out the victims," "And this was the very first epidemiological study." "What they found" "Was a cluster of cases around broad street," "Where there was a city water pump." "Defying the local authorities, they did the unthinkable." "They took off the handle." "[all laughing]" "And the outbreak came to an end," "But the lesson lives on." "And so, unfortunately," "Does cholera." "[startled reactions]" "When a surgeon fumbles, a patient dies." "When we drop the ball," "Thousands die." "As new CDC field officers," "You are about to embark" "On a mission to the far corners of the earth." "And you will witness horrors others cannot imagine." "Horrors that make cholera seem tame." "You will make sacrifices that others find unthinkable." "And your family and your friends" "Will sacrifice right along with you." "And you will do all of this" "Because you cannot fathom living any other life." "This is no game." "The stakes" "Are very real." "That's just scotch in there," "By the way, single malt." "In fact, toss it back." "[all laughing]" "Good luck to you all." "Balleseros:" "Late last night, a military listening post received a distress call" "From a private research base owned by Arctic Bio-systems." "Big Pharma." "Just read about them." "The call denoted a possible retroviral outbreak." "Two people dead that we know of," "And a third person already infected." "I'm sorry, who are you again?" "Major Sergio Balleseros," "USAMRIID by way of the Army corps of engineers." "I've been instructed to escort you and your rapid response team," "Including Dr. Walker, up to the base" "To determine whether it is in fact a retrovirus." "Now, given that the Army fielded the distress call," "We're gonna share jurisdiction with the CDC." "It looks like there's no jurisdiction at all." "If the base is above the 83rd parallel," "It's international territory." "We have no authority there." "Arctic Bio-systems is granting us access..." "For now." "How kind of them." "This is all fine, but why me?" "There are six other senior scientists at the CDC" "Who can run point on this, including Dr. Walker." "The distress call specifically asked for Dr. Walker." "She thought it best that we include you." "I'm..." "I'm still not following." "The third infected patient is Peter." "Who's Peter?" "My brother." "[wind blowing]" "Our primary goal is to identify this pathogen." "Sarah." "You'll be with me and Peter on the deceased" "To establish the extent of the illness." "Julia" "Will determine the cause of the illness." "Doreen, I need you to swab every inch of Peter's lab," "Test every animal for the source of the illness." "How about you, GI Joe?" "What is it that you do exactly?" "I'm a systems engineer." "I'll be analyzing the base infrastructure," "Air, water, waste treatment, looking for ways the virus" "Might have spread through pipes or air vents." "So, you're a glorified plumber." "Only if you're a glorified veterinarian." "Look, we have no idea what this thing is," "So we treat it like a hot agent." "BSL-4 protocol, full suits," "And decontamination showers for every potential exposure." "That could eat up a lot of time." "Alan:" "Well, better safe than sorry." "Says the man who spent the night in a thatched hut full of Ebola victims." "That's his ex-wife?" "Yep." "Not what I expected." "She's smarter than you." " Doubtful." " Better in the lab too." "Highly doubtful." "Sarah:" "He never talks about her or his brother." "That's probably because" "He caught her and his brother in bed together." "Don't worry, they're professionals." "They'll make it work." "Why would I be worried?" "'Cause I see the way you look at him." "This is gonna be the most frakked-up family reunion ever." "Pilot: [over radio] Raptor-47 to Arctic Bio-systems, come in." "Man:" "We read you, Raptor-47, loud and clear." "We're making our final approach." "We clear for landing?" "Daniel Aerov, head of security." "Sorry we don't have the red carpet waiting, but we're not used to visitors." "Alan:" "We're not used to red carpets." "This is Dr. Hiroshi Hatake, director of research." "Alan Farragut, CDC." "Peter's brother." "Of course." "Julia:" "We've come a long way for Peter." "When can we see him?" "Hatake:" "He's been transferred to our isolation facility." "I'm afraid the news isn't good." "He's been in and out of consciousness for the last eight hours." "Alan:" "And the rest of your people?" "Are you implementing hard or soft quarantine?" "Neither." " You haven't locked down the base?" " Allow me to explain." "Alan:" "You have three victims of an unknown pathogen." "And only three, who all worked in the same lab." "There have been no other infections." "Since we are not seeing a base-wide outbreak, we are fairly certain" "It's not airborne." "Well, at least you're fairly certain." "Hey, that's our ride." "Daniel:" "They can't stay here." "The temperature can drop to -70, it turns jet fuel to jelly." "Plus, we can't risk leaving before we have full containment," "CDC protocol." "You just made me feel better, knowing they're out there." "Not to worry." "Camp Eisenhower is only 200 miles away." "They can be back here in no time." "Please stick out your left hand." "RFID marker injected under the skin." "We all have them." "Yours will give you unrestricted access to the base." "[alert tone]" "Automated voice:" "Main elevator security access granted." "Level B." "[soft music playing]" "Sweet mother Mary Matthew." "How many people work here?" "106 scientists from 35 countries, 15 support staff." "That's a lot of potential patients." "Let's focus on what we know." "I'll need to see the personnel records of the infected," "Their professional and medical histories." "I'll need to see their living quarters" "And any other areas they frequented." "And I want access to their lab animals and research materials." "And I'll need to start tracking down" "Anyone they've been in contact with for the past 48 hours." "Understood." "Automated voice:" "Level e." "Now I want to see my brother." "Automated voice:" "Level f." "I haven't talked to Peter in a long time." "How long?" "That night?" "I went home and packed a bag, caught the next flight to La Paz." "Ah, you always did have issues with impulse control." "I'm worried." "That's all right." "We're here, we'll do what we can for him." "He's not the one I'm worried about." "[device beeping steadily]" "Alan:" "His vitals are all over the place." "He probably won't make it through the night." "Peter." "I'm going to ask you some questions." "If you can't speak," "Try to nod yes or no." "Do you have a tl link here?" "No." "That's too bad." "It's gonna take forever" "To upload this data back to Atlanta." "We don't have a tl because it's obsolete." "It's a synchronous optical network, 10 gigs a second." "It has to be fast, 'cause we only get the satellite an hour each day." "You seem to know a lot about medicine and technology" "For a head of security." "Dr. Hatake taught me everything I know." "Where did you two meet?" "An orphanage." "In barrow." "He adopted me." "I've been with him as long as I can remember." "Peter, it's me, Alan." "Dr. Farragut, do you know where you are?" "Do you know what happened to you?" "Yes." "The white room." "Peter." "Peter." "Look into my eyes." "Look into my eyes." "Can you do that?" "Look into my..." "That's it." "Peter, it's me." "It's Alan." "Alan, the blood." "It's black." "[Peter grunting] [alarm beeping]" "I need a security team to quarantine now!" "You lie!" "You all lie!" "Everyone lies!" "Everyone!" "Everyone lies!" "[alarm stops]" "[Alan panting] [device beeping steadily]" "[panting]" "How long had Peter been assigned to this lab?" "The last six months." "Working on?" "I'm afraid that's over my pay grade." "You'd have to ask Dr. Hatake." "You expect us to help you, but you won't tell us what you're working on?" "We check that weekly." "Good for you." "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." "Aren't you a big girl." "Or boy." "They have no sex organs." "We've designed a way to inhibit the signaling pathway" "Responsible for genitalia." "Makes control easier." "Got an ex-husband I wouldn't mind trying that on." "Where are the monkeys?" "We don't have any monkeys." "You're kidding, right?" "With the kind of work you're doing here?" "No monkeys means no monkeys." "These are the other two victims that were found with Peter." "You ready?" "Yeah." "Open the bag." "Alan:" "What the hell?" "[retching]" "[door opening] [door pneumatics hissing]" "That won't happen again, you have my word." "No, Sarah, it's okay." "I've been around some nasty hot agents," "But I've never seen anything like that." "No one has seen anything like this." "Julia:" "You still thinking retrovirus?" "Looks more like some kind of hemorrhagic fever." "Blood loss is consistent with Ebola or Marburg," "But this kind of tissue degradation..." "This thing doesn't kill, it annihilates." "Julia:" "So how was Peter still alive?" "First things first." "Where's Doreen?" "With Major Balleseros, swabbing down Peter's lab." "Good." "Get started on the assays, Sarah." "I need to see this thing to beat it." "Yeah, I'm on it." "Jules, talk to Hatake." "Find out what our victims were working on." "We need to find the causation of this." "You should be in there with Peter." "Whatever time he's got left..." "No, he wouldn't want me sitting around watching him die." "What are you gonna do?" "[squeaking]" "Yep, just as I thought." "Hey, what are you doing?" "These live rats in the PRC test confirm conclusively" "That Hatake's right, it isn't airborne." "[sighs]" "That's good news." "Yep, except I'm no closer to the source," "And I still have no idea on the mode of transmission." " I hate rats." " I don't." "My dad was a Master Sergeant, moved us around a lot." "Rats are easy to travel." "You do this a lot in the service?" "Take apart drains and toilets looking for viruses?" "I spent my first tour in Iraq, searching for WMDs." "See any action?" " Rarely left the base." " Sounds dangerous." "Bet you got some pretty nasty paper cuts." "The last few years I spent" "Harassing the cartels in south America." "Must have been shaking in their boots." "Ever actually fire a gun?" "Not since boot camp." "Hey, let me see that." "What is it?" "M. Mulatta." "Unless I miss my guess," "This is from a rhesus macaque." "So, they have monkeys." "What's the big deal?" "That they lied about it." "Monkeys are one of the main agents of zoonotic transfer," "That's passing a virus from animal to human or vice versa." "So, what didn't they want us to find out?" "Dr. Hatake?" "Dr. Hatake?" "[exhales] Unbelievable." "The arctic has a timeless quality." "Don't you agree?" "Makes it a little tough on the commute, though." "[chuckles] we get more accomplished" "Without the distraction of the outside world." "Like interference from regulatory agencies?" "I need to know everything about Peter's last few days," "What he was working on, who he was working with..." "I thought you might." "What's all this?" "Peter's research." "There are 20 more boxes in his lab." "That's gonna take me days to sort through." "Can you at least tell me what he was working on?" "Mutagens, mostly." "For speeding up mutations." "Those are dangerous." "You wouldn't want to let your children play with them." "Do you have children?" "No, I don't." "Can you think of any correlation between his research" "And the infectious agent?" "No." "I'm sorry." "Voice on system:" "Shift one, report." "Shift one, report." "Shift one, report." "Alan, tissues samples are..." "Uh, I didn't mean to interrupt." "No, it's okay." "Entry 224." "Got in some UV therapy this morning." "Ran three miles on the treadmill." "It's getting harder to tell day from night," "But I guess that doesn't matter." "I'm still seeing t." "She is terrific." "But I'm starting to wonder" "Whether I'm truly meant for relationships." "And it's not that I'm bad at them." "It's more like..." "Well, they're bad for me." "More than anything, I am excited about being up here." "I..." "I understand certain things now." "Up here." "I..." "I understand certain things now." "What is it?" "Look at his hand." "We used to do that nights when our father" "Came home drunk or angry, which was most nights." "What does it mean?" "Run like hell." "You need to come to isolation now." "It's Peter." "Automated voice:" "Contamination." "Contamination." "Contamination." "Contamination." "Contamination." "Contamination." "Contamination." "Contamination." "How could you leave him in there with a bone saw?" "I was a little busy trying..." "Too busy to follow BSL-4 safety protocol?" "You're both missing the point here." "How did he get out?" "This morning he was terminally ill," "Now he's ripping out of restraints?" "We sealed off the entire floor, deactivating Peter's RFID chip." "He's trapped." "But we still need to get him out of there." "We're gonna flood the ducts with halothane gas." "It'll knock him out for four hours." "Once the gas clears we'll retrieve his body." "Look, Peter is our best chance to understand" "How this pathogen works." "He may have antibodies which have allowed him to fend off the infection." "We need him alive!" "I'm sorry, but I have the lives of 120 others to consider." "No one is safe from the virus until we've contained him." "Automated voice:" "Security teams, confirm Level lockdown." "Security teams confirm..." "Once the gas clears," "I'll take a security team and we'll bring him back to isolation." "[gas hissing]" "[mechanics locking in]" "If you're going up there, I'm going too." "I can't allow that." "It's too dangerous." "If there's any chance Peter's alive," "I need to be up there." "Hatake:" "As you wish." "Listen, we've been at this for over an hour, and still no monkeys." "If Hatake is granting us unrestricted access to the base," "Why don't we just confront him, tell him we found a monkey hair?" "Yeah, right." "I doubt we'd get a straight answer." "Besides, this is way more fun." "Automated voice:" "Access denied." "Access denied." "Access denied." "So much for unrestricted access." "You got any bright ideas?" "Liquid nitrogen." "Freezing rearranges the tensile strength." "[beeping] [unlocking]" "Huh." "Man:" "Northwest a, clear." "Man 2:" "Section Northwest B, clear." "Man 3:" "Southwest B, we're clear." "Daniel:" "Dr. Farragut, we need you to check in." "Dr. Farragut." "Alan:" "Are you sure my brother's up here?" "We sealed the vents in this sector, and that concentration" "Of gas should have knocked him out." "[breathing with respirator]" "Jeez." "What the hell happened here?" "What's that smell?" "Doreen:" "That is monkey." "The only creaturesthat smell worse are humans." "There must have been a hundred of them." "Where the hell did they all go?" "I don't know, but someone busted off this cage door." "From the inside." "I've got something here." "Uh, black mucus." "Uh, southwest..." "Uh..." "Yeah, southwest c." "He was definitely here." "[crashing]" "What was that?" "Peter?" "Peter!" "[monkey chattering] [monkey chattering] [clattering]" "He's smart." "Way too smart." "[thud]" "[snarling nearby]" "There you are," "Handsome boy." "Come on out." "Peter!" "Come on." "[monkey screeching] [Doreen screaming]" "He's here!" "Peter's here!" "Daniel:" "Wait for backup!" "Are you okay?" "Am I cut?" "Do you see any breaks on the skin?" "I don't think so." "Be sure." "It's important." "You're okay." "[sighs in relief]" "He's here." "Peter's here." "It's not him." "It's..." "It's not Peter." "Oh, my god." "Daniel:" "He was on one of my security teams." "Joseph Kneizeh, 31 years old, Talkeetna, Alaska." "He was attacked and dismembered." "This doesn't make sense." "The question we should be asking is "why"." "Why did Peter attack this man?" "Why cut off his hand?" "And why is the pathogen making him stronger?" "I want to seal off this part of the base." "All nonessential personnel, keep them in dedicated safe rooms." "Nobody travels unless they travel with a partner," "At least until we can recapture Peter." "Automated voice:" "Attention, code 830, Level G, oncology." "Anything from the first set of cultures?" "Cells are heavily damaged, most totally deformed." "It's like Armageddon down there." "But no sign of a virus?" "I screened for all current viral structures," "Filaments, polygons, cylinders, spheres..." "Even icosahedrons." "What if it's not current?" "A couple of MIT scientists discovered evidence" "Of ancient viruses in the Greenland ice cores." "They found these obsolete structures dating back 140,000 years." "I gotta hand it to Alan, he's got an eye for the smart ones." "It's not like that." "Not like what?" "Alan is a great mentor, but there's nothing going on." "I would have said the exact same thing." "Only that was eight years ago." "Look at that." "What?" "What is it?" "Right there." "Sarah:" "That's only 15nm." "There's no virus that small." "No current virus." "I need you to finish this." "Where are you going?" "To find Alan." "He needs to see this now." "[device beeping rapidly]" "[signal noise]" "Sarah:" "We weren't even sure what we were looking for until Julia..." "Dr. Walker started checking for paleoneurological structures." "It's some form of spherical capsid," "But unlike anything we've ever seen before." "It's not naturally occurring, at least not in this century." "Here it is blown up to 100,000 xp." "Here's 500,000." "How was your walk in the snow?" "Fine, thanks." "A bit colder here than you're used to." "Doesn't bother me." "I'm adaptable." "You know what they say about those who fail to adapt." "The delivery will be on schedule." "The schedule changed when the CDC showed up." "I had nothing to do with that." "Either way, the people you and I work for aren't happy," "And now I have to clean up your mess." "Alan:" "Hello, what the hell is that?" "Sawah:" "Wait, there's more." "My god." "We thought it was just replicating, but there's something else." "This mutation only occurs in a fraction of the samples." "It's minimal but it's statistically relevant." "Which could explain why Peter is still alive and the others died." "But what's it doing to him?" "Julia:" "For lack of a better term, it's changing him." "Into what?" "[soft music playing]" "♪ Do you know the way to San Jose?"
