" Previously on The Strain." " [Ephraim j 206 passengers are dead." "And we don't know why." "Four passengers survived, and we don't know why." " Seal off the perimeter of the airport." " Got it." "I made a deal with Gregg to provide some information... and let a piece of medical cargo through Customs." "Here is the rest of the money Gregg promised you in return." "Tell him that one of the survivors is very sick." "Tell him we need lo corral the rest of the survivors... and anybody they've had contact with- now!" "You have a complete passenger manifest with you?" "Not right here." "Why?" "Because you need to find every last passenger... and destroy the bodies and anyone in contact with them." "This is Gary Arnot." "Thank you for sending my little girl home to me." "Are you saying someone released her body to you?" "No, not her body." "Emma's alive." "She showed up on my doorstep this morning." "We need to find out what's happening inside him." " Your patient." "He's gone." " Okay, I found him." " Doyle?" "What are you doing?" " Stay away from him!" "Oh, my God." " What just happened here?" " You didn't have a choice." " Did you hear him say my name?" " What?" "No." "He didn't say anything." "I wish he had." "The old man said destroy the head and burn the body." "Should we be doing that?" "What are you saying?" "We're burning corpses now?" "Okay, we have to cut him open before the whole hospital gets down here." "Cut him open?" "We're all gonna get arrested." "It was self-defense." "No one's getting arrested." "Let-Let's move him." "We have to find a place to do this." "We gotta call this in." "This is way over our heads." "I just killed this thing." "I need to explain why I did that, Jim." "I'll go find a room." "Help me move him." "I just wanna go on record." "I do not think that this is a good idea." "A monster just tried to murder us." "Okay, we need a surgical kit, specimen jars... and rubber bands to seal the gloves." "Jim, stay with the body." "What if it gets up?" "Run." "Funny." "You run." "But he's not gonna get up, right?" "Do you think Redfern knew what was happening to him?" "I hope not." "If you need time, I can do this on my own." "No." "I wanna be there, find some answers, make his death mean something." "Good, 'cause I need you." "Ansel?" "I'm taking the kids to your sister's." "Unless you think I shouldn't." "Get them out of here as soon as you can." "Daddy's not feeling well." "Just go with Mommy, okay?" "Please let me call Dr. Barrett." "He knows our family." "He's" " He's not like these government people." "He cares about you." "No." "I'm gonna rest." "I'll be fine." "Go and wait by the door, please." "Go on." "Is there anything that I can do for you?" "No, Annie." "Just take care of the kids, okay?" "Tell them I'm sorry for being so grumpy, huh?" "I'll-l'II put Gertie in the shed, get her out of your way." "No." "No." "Leave her." "She can keep me company." " Gus, where's my clock?" " Shut up." "Ha-ha!" "Gusto!" "What up, bro?" "Smells good in here, man." "I gotta fatten you up, ese." "I'm hungry." "Jute balls got you all manorexic." "Everybody can't be pretty like you, bro." "Ah, this is a start though." "Yeah?" "I hear good things." "Thank you, man." "Cash flow things." "Keep it down, bro." "There's this dude in Queens." "Alonso Creem?" "Mm-hmm?" "He buys cars." "Hear he pays up to a "G" a pop." "Him and his Nigerians." "This is a sure thing, homey." "For real?" "Yeah." "'Cause a sure thing got me locked up last time." "I got the sweet rolls you like." "I stopped off at the bakery." "Thank you." "You know how I love this niño." "Uh-huh." "Ah, every day he call me or came when you were away." " I know." "He bring me groceries." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "I stole them from my pop's shop." " Don't joke." " Not joking." "No, no, no, not too much." "I have to watch my weight." "Thank you, Mama." "I love you." "I love you too." "Ah, Herr Eichhorst." "Herr Palmer." "Mr. Fitzwilliam, now that Mr. Eichhorst is here, will you show in our guest?" "So" "Dutch Velders." "A self-described Internet freedom fighter." "Claims he can do all we need." "Eccentric, but comes highly recommended." "Dutch Velders, Mr. Palmer." "Hello, Miss Velders." "Sorry." "Nobody said you were a woman." "I get that a lot." "After the Regis Air catastrophe, the stock markets plummeted." "Then, as we all know, the C.E.O. of Regis Air killed himself." "Now, the online community is up in arms... about corporate greed and corruption- all those people on that plane dying, the stock market crash... and the possibility... of the suspension of the nation's air travel." "The online group Citizens for Liberty... is planning a massive hacking campaign... to crash the Web sites of New York City's largest corporations." "Is that believable, Miss Velders?" "Anything is possible... if it's motivated by enough hatred, Mr. Palmer." "But it's gotta be someone really smart... to figure out how to drown sewers." "It takes time and patience." "But the story is the group came to me." "I'm the only one who could slow the Internet down to worse than dial-up." "If there is someone else that can, I taught them." "She wants credit for it." "And I also want money." "It must be so slow... that sending photos or instant anything is impossible." "Sure." "It's much harder to hide evil shit these days, isn't it?" "Are we doing this?" "Yes." "You're hired." "Thank you for coming in." "Jim, record video." "Use my phone." "But be careful." "Don't get near the blood." "There's not a chance of that happening." "What happened to the worms?" "I don't know." "But look at this." "These folds- they seem functional." "Vestibular folds." "If the body temperature rose, a lot of heat would be released through there." "His, uh, genitals are... gone." "Uh, his excreting organs have fused into a cloaca." "Do I even wanna know?" "Uh, reptiles, birds, other lower animals- their urine and feces are all expelled through the same opening." "Oh, that's adorable." "It's efficient." "Let's open him up." "Jim, get closer." "Film this." "The lungs have dried up." "Label that." "Label it as what?" "Uh, the head is, uh, all shriveled up." "The arteries are necrotic, but these tubular structures appear healthy." "It's a new circulatory system." "It's brand-new flesh, but it's- it's symmetrical." "It's not random or cancerous." "This is, uh, plaque, cartilage." "It's a whole new set of organs as generated to propel this stinger." "Is that the technical term for it, is it?" "Stinger?" "Feel like I'm choking just looking at it." "Oh, God." "Christ." "What is that smell?" "Ammonia discharge." "Like guano." "Same as on the plane." "And Bishop's body." "That's enough." "This is disgusting." "Just- Just call it in, Eph." "Goddamn it, just call it in." "Jim." "No, this thing just shot a six-foot python out of its mouth." "Its dick is gone, and it just squirted a shitload of shit all over the table, and you got your hands everywhere." "I mean" " God, what the hell is going on?" "It's a parasitic mechanism." "This is rewriting human biology." "Why?" "Why is it doing that?" "So it can reproduce... and consume its host." "Hi, Mr. Farrell." "I'm gettin' a little tired of comin' up here, Guadalupe." "I'm sorry." "You always sorry." "But nothin' changes." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Don't leave your recycling in the hallway." "It's a fire hazard." "Gus." "Hey there." "Didn't know you were back in town." "I thought we were squared up this month." "No." "I didn't get it." " Did you take the rent down?" " Yes." "I swear." "Excuse me a moment, please." "Okay." "If I don't deliver rent checks on time, the owner beats my balls off." "Everybody works for somebody, right or wrong." "We're not talking about the rent now." "Now we're talking about the way you speak to my mother." "You think that's funny, huh?" "Cause if she ever tells me you talked to her like that again, they're gonna find your body in one of those recycling bins you love so much." "Now, here's the rent, and half of next month's." "You need me, mano?" "Yo." "You forgot something." "Go green." "Now, let's go meet that guy with the Nigerians." "Ansel, I'm home!" "I made it." "I left this shirt out for you, honey." "I thought... maybe you could get out of your pajamas today." "Oh!" "Did your daddy take you for a walk?" "That'd be nice." "Everybody getting some air today." "Of whom shall I be afraid?" "No one." "No one." "I'm not afraid." "Ansel?" "Ansel, is that you?" "Are you all right?" "Honey, are you hiding from me?" "Why did you do that?" "Mother Mary, walk with me." "Ansel?" "Honey?" "What's happened to you?" "I want to help you." "Let me, please." "Run." "Go away." "Please, Annie." "Go." "Don't come near me." "Never come back." "My God." "The voice in my head... is telling me to rip your throat and drink from you." "I need you." "Lock the door and run, Ann-Marie." "No matter what I say." "Please, Annie, go!" "Far away!" "I'm closed for the day." "It's still morning." "Thank you for that profound observation." "I got something for you." "Not today." "I'm not in the business of buying my own property back." "I'm returning it to you." "I imagine that's the only good news this day will bring." "Well, you're welcome." "Asshole." "I could have listened to that old man, taken the cabinet, destroyed it." "Now it's gone, and there's a disease spreading through the city." "What now?" "Well, we get out of here, and we stop this thing somehow, even if nobody will help." "I don't know." "This is my fault." " No, it isn't." " No, Eph, it is." "I waved that van through." "At the airport, after you sealed it." "I was paid to do it." "The box was inside." "What?" "I'm flat broke." "What does that have to do with letting the box through?" "Go back." "This guy named Gregg Nelson approached me at a medical convention." "He just wanted to sell the CDC some equipment, some ideas about government contracts." "I think I was targeted." "I'm-Fm sure." "Wh-Who targeted you?" "They knew about my debt." "They knew about everything that Sylvia was going through." "I don't know how, but they did." "I owed a lot of money before she got sick, but after, with medical bills" " You have insurance." " Sylvia is dying." "The cancer is everywhere." "We ran every treatment they offered and then we kept going." "We did anything that we thought made sense, and the cost was insane." "Are you saying this epidemic was intentional, that somebody planned this?" "Is that what you're saying?" "I don't know!" "I don't know." "They paid me a little bit of money to do 'em a favor." "And then the favors kept getting bigger" "And you waited until now to tell us?" "They wanted me to clear a box from the airport." "A box!" "li was soil." "The readings were negative." "It was just soil!" "I would never hurt anybody." "Come on, you know me." "We've been friends for 10 years, all of us." "Come on, please." " Where did they take the coffin?" " I don't know." " Who's behind all this?" " Some scary prick." "This German guy." "He threatened me." "Come on." "I'm on your team." "You might not understand this, Eph, but I would do anything to keep my wife alive." "Go to your wife." "Call Barnes." "Call the police." "I don't care." "You're dead to me." "There was nothing I could do." "Give me the phone." "Nora, please." "I don't know that guy back there." "Think of how desperate he must've been to do something like that" "Please don't make excuses for him." "Just trying to imagine if someone I was in love with was dying, what I'd be capable of doing." "We need to find another victim." "Setrakian said he knew where the bodies were going." "Back to their loved ones." "Emma Arnot." "Her father" " Jesus,he" "We'll bring her to the hospital and run some tests." "Then we'll have video of both Redfern and her." "I'll never get used to this car." "I traded my Rolex for it back" "Yeah, I know." "I know." "Missed you, fool." "I hope you didn't suffer." "Ansel is sick." "Something is warping him... inside." "God only knows what he saw on that plane." "Goddamn airplanes." "Like missiles, the way they rip through everything." "You heard me, but... sometimes you can't... speak about the things you see." "Hello." "Ann-Marie?" "Oh, my God." "Yeah, hi." "Hi." "Trip Taylor from next door." "Wow." "A little winter gardening?" "What do you want, Mr. Taylor?" "Yeah, I'm officially fed up with this noise." "Either you let the dog out so she shuts up, or" " I don't know- maybe train her to behave while she's locked in the shed." "This isn't rocket science." "It's shameful to own a pet and not discipline it." "Oh, and speaking of filthy animals, those press people parked out front used my mimosa tree as a piss post." "Thank you very much for that." "I don't think you're going to have to worry about the dog anymore." "That's what your husband said the first time your mutt tore up my yard." "What do you mean?" "Well, she entered my property without permission." "You hit my dog?" "I didn't say that." "Okay, I'm calling the police." "This is outrageous." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Please, forgive me." "If you wanna go in there and teach her a few things" "I don't have the heart for it." "You're right about that." "Good." "Oh, God!" "Hey, hey!" "Whoa, whoa!" "What are you doing?" "What the hell" " No, no, no!" "Oh, my God!" "No!" "Gentlemen." "Sorry to interrupt." "Does ii look like we open?" "We got something to sell." "We hear you have a real nice showroom." "We'd like to add to it." "That so?" " It's out back." " Look, now's not a good time." "Phones are down." "Internet's not working." "It's just" "Yeah, well, we here now." "If we ain't good enough for you to do business with, then we out." "Wait." "It's a brand-new Mercedes SUV." "Let's see what you got." "It's colder than a goblin's ass out here, huh?" "Do your thing, homeboy." "What?" "Still got a baby seat in the back." "No extra charge for that." "Here's 400." "What's that?" "We heard you pay a thousand." "Four hundred." "You wanna take it or not?" "Yeah." "Nah." "We got other stops to make." "Get in." "I get a word with you?" "I should beat your big ass." "Why you always gotta bring up my ass, man?" "Leave my ass out of this." "We're here." "Let's finish this." "That ugly silver-toothed punk could merc us... for 400 lousy-ass dollars right now." "You got your ratchet on you?" "Always ready, homey." "We're leaving." "Eight hundred." "You get a full "G" next time you come around." "You can bet on that." "Forgive me for waking you, sir." "Your appointment's here." "I'm not asleep." "It actually hurts to keep my eyes open." "Sorry." "The delivery is right on time." "Should be here soon." "Most of the cell towers in the city are reporting problems." "The top seven Intemet server farms have crashed." "All the social networks have gone dark." "Hmm." "Thai girl is surprisingly reliable." "All right." "Show Maggie in." "Secretary Pierson, Mr. Palmer." "Please forgive me, Maggie." " Eldritch." " I know." "Don't worry." "I'll be better soon." "Please." "I had a phone call from the White House today- an urgent one." "You need to understand what happened on that flight." "They will never tell you, but I feel it's imperative you know." "The United States military removed the bodies from the morgue... in the middle of the night." "Why did they do that?" "A highly classified biological agent... got loose on that airplane." "It was a tragic mistake of epic proportions." "But now we must do what needs to be done- without cowardice, without hesitation." "Those poor people." "What makes you powerful and formidable... is also what makes a decision like this so painful- your decency." "Maggie, we need you to put your country first." "Not the bullshit country we pretend to be." "The one we really are." "The one you're getting to know very well." "I saw that in you from the start- the potential to get the game behind the game." "I owe you my career, Eldritch." "Now, what about the bio-agent?" "Highly lethal, but it quickly dissipates- designed so our troops can follow it into battle." "That's why no one found it." "It's gone." "Done." "Will you stand with me on this, Maggie?" "Whatever you need." "Are you okay?" "I can'!" "tell you how rare and valuable" "What's going on?" "Where's Maggie?" "You passed out, sir." "Once we were certain you were okay, Secretary Pierson left." "Mr. Palmer." "Your new liver is here." "It's in great shape." "We need to prep you for surgery right now." "Does Eichhorst know what is happening to me?" "We haven't been able to reach him, sir." "Have they already forgotten how much they need me?" "Why are they doing this?" "I was promised a miracle." "We have a healthy liver for you." "That's the miracle." "Eldritch, you are in fulminant hepatic failure." "Yes, yes, you have my consent." "Gel on with it." "Excellent." "Let's get him into surgery now." "Hello?" "It's Dr. Ephraim Goodweather from the CDC." "Mr. Arnot?" "This old man, he played one" "He played knick-knack on my thumb" "With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone" "This old man came rolling home" "This old man, he played two" "He played knick-knack on my shoe" "With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone" "This old man came rolling home" "This old man, he played three" "He played knick-knack on my tree" "With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone" "This old man came rolling home" "This old man, he played four" "He played knick-knack on my door" "With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone" "This old man came rolling home" "This old man, he played five" "He played knick-knack on my hive" "With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone" "Emma?" "This old man came rolling home" "Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "Move away." "He'll be right behind her." "They need to find shelter before the sunrise." "Move!" "Get out of the way!" "Are you okay?" "Are you okay?" "Keep away from the bodies." "The worms- don't let them touch you." "What have you done?" "Among other things, I just saved your life." "We have resources, protocols." "Not for this." "There's no other way." "I can't stay down here." "There are two containers full of gasoline in the garage." "We have to finish this." "Oh, my" " Nora." "Just" " Just- No, no, don't." "Just let me go." "No, no, no." "Please." "Please." "We're not doing this." "We were talking about finding a cure." "That was before we knew how quickly it spread." "We have to do this with him." "It's our only shot." "Oh, come on, Eph." "We don't exterminate our patients when there's an outbreak." "The Chinese culled the bird population in Hong Kong... after the avian flu." "It was the responsible thing to do." "We're not hunting down human beings." "They're hunting us." "Where do you think that blood came from?" "Arnot was out there killing innocent people." "Nora, please." "There was a little girl in there." "I mean, how old was Emma?" "Eight, tops?" "She was sick." "No, she was- she was gone." "There was something inside her shell." "That was a body controlled by virus." "This is what we do." "The people of New York rely on us to investigate... and eliminate threats to their health." "And now, when it finally means something, we're gonna run?" "lam not doing this." "I'm not." "I'd rather die from whatever this epidemic is than... kill people." "This" " It's, uh- It's not for everyone." "Are you going to murder everyone on that list of yours?" "Yes." "I assume you're not staying with us." "No." "Please be safe." "Promise me." "There has to be another way." "Some brains can't adjust." "I can see you love her for that, but you have to let her go."
