ReGenesis s04e09 Episode Script

Unbottled

I always add a touch of Nina.
- And what about the girl? - Tucked away, not to worry.
- Where are you? - In Michigan.
I found her.
I found Nina.
I'm completely aware of people's emotions even total strangers, without having to think about it.
Your Jacobson's organ is working? Are you telling me that you've had this procedure done? I have a heightened senese of empathy.
- Someone had to be the first volunteer.
- No, they didn't.
I need you to go back to Roth's lab with me.
What happened here? The second stage primate trials injected with my stem cells.
They did this to themselves.
Oh my God.
What about me? - You're looking for me? - Yeah.
What are you doing tonight? Feel like catching some dinner? What's the bad news? How do you know I have? Can you smell that I've got bad news? No, whenever you have bad news, you want to feed me.
You're just like my mother, David.
We got back the neurology report on the dead monkeys in Roth's lab.
They all had high levels of methoxytyramine.
The byproduct of dopamine, associated with anxiety and paranoia.
Which means they probably did go nuts and rip each other apart.
After, you know, taking out that lab tech.
Bob, we've gotta test Nina.
And you, what about you? You could also, I don't know Bob Bob, there's a 93% genetic similarity between macaques and humans.
Those monkeys went crazy with your stem cells.
Nina went through the same procedure.
She's not a monkey, David.
You know what? Ethically, it's her decision, so.
Since when are you an expert on ethics? I'm pretty good when it comes to other people Give her a call.
She can come have dinner with us.
And I'll talk about it.
She went home.
To see her dad.
She'll be back on Monday.
Mayko! It's just you and me then.
How about that little Russian place you keep telling me about? I promise I won't go home with anybody's date.
Mayko, Bob and I are heading out.
Phone's dead.
Come on.
Mayko? I got my bike.
You wanna cab it? Streetcar is more environmental.
- I'll get my stuff.
- Where is everyone? Rachel is checking viral samples for the CDC.
Carlos said he's staying late to catch up on paperwork.
New boyfriend's busy tonight, eh? Ex.
Really? Already? Well, if everybody's working late, how come nobody's working? - Doctor Sandstrà m.
- Yeah.
Mayko needs you both right away.
In Bioinformatics.
This about the phones? No, the phones are out up and down the block.
I know he's the new lab tech.
What's his name? Bilal Hassan.
Something's wrong.
- What the fuck's going on here? - Your cell phones, please.
We come in God's Name.
Follow our instructions, everyone lives.
Cell phone.
- I lost it.
- Shoot her.
Found it.

0 You.
You.
Have a seat.
Sit.
Take the tape off.
You shaved today, Dr.
Sandstrà m? Fuck! Take hers off, too.
Gently.
Bilal, what are you doing with these assholes? This asshole just did you a favour.
Now do me one and listen.
Everyone here is a tiny spec in God's large plan.
Now we can all hurt each other or not.
- It's up to us.
- If there is a god, I doubt his plan has anything to do with your plan.
We need you to do some things, and we will leave, and you will all be unharmed.
Do we have your cooperation? Probably not.
What do you want us to do? Open a secure line in NorBAC's US military science network.
We don't have that capability.
You were trained at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to use the SCI-COM system.
Secret Scientific Communications.
- What the fuck are you talking - March 3 to March 9, 2003.
You both have to enter your passwords.
Her first, then you, then her again.
Please.
We'll do it if you let one hostage go.
- Too many bad movies, Dr.
Sandstrà m.
- Alright, fuck you then.
Do you want me to make her a double amputee? Because I have to be out of here by 6 AM Monday - and you are slowing me down.
- You blow off her leg, she'll be unconscious in ten seconds.
Then where will you be? I suppose you're right.
We'll cut her ear off.
Alright, no wait! Stop it! - Stop! - Your password, Doctor.
Mayko, just do whatever they tell you.
You're up, Doc.
It's okay.
You both have fail-safe passwords, to alert the system if you've been forced to access it.
Please enter the real ones.
Mayko.
Press "Send".
Thank you.
Now I want Special Biological Sciences at Fort Egan.
Do it.
"Welcome to the US Army's Division of Special Biological Sciences.
" "Special chemicals.
Special poisons.
" "Special germs.
" Guess you guys aren't here about global warming, eh? Oh yes, Doctor.
Indirectly.
Stage two.
Dr.
Sandstrà m.
Please.
Wait a minute.
Fuck! I want you to do a search for Strain 751.
- Strain 751 of what? - Search.
I'm searching.
Okay, wait a minute.
Carlos.
If you don't like this, you can shoot me.
No, stop, please.
You okay? Oh yeah.
We don't need the tape.
They have nothing to say.
- Sorry about that.
- Thank you.
It's okay.
Take it easy, Bob, it's okay.
- Why are my legs shackled? - You're a champion kickboxer.
I'm not a champion and you have a gun.
This liquid is not dangerous to me or you.
I want you to spin out the RNA and re-suspend it in 100 microliters of TE.
What is it? - It is what it is.
- Is it viral? - You have one hour to do it.
- Can you at least untie my wrists? There are dozens of 751 Strains.
What's it a strain of? Look for Strain 751 Gamma.
There are three.
Which one? - I can go home while you decide? - That one.
ED-MV.
Now download the normal and the gamma.
ED-MV Strain 751 Normal Downloading.
ED-MV Downloading.
A record of these downloads will be posted.
Someone will notice them.
They're in the middle of a fire drill.
Thank you.
What are you doing? We use the internet for half of what we do here.
Now I need you to find the mutations that will allow your colleagues to turn Strain 751 into 751 Gamma.
You want me to do a sequence alignment, find the mutations and then what? Design all the primers? No.
We already have all the primers to most of the mutations.
You are to identify and design the last one that we need.
Okay It'll take me about 5 or 6 hours.
No, it will take you 15 minutes.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I really have to go.
Let him go to the bathroom.
I can't wait.
Use a pail.
Please.
Listen, if you want him to work, cut him some slack, okay? - What is happening? - Fundamentalist assholes.
Muslims? Christian, Jewish, what difference? How many of them are there? I saw 3 of them.
The homework's done, they mean business.
They had us tap us into the SCI-COM.
God, David! We can't cooperate! We can't help them create something that can kill millions of people.
Nobody's gonna die, okay? I have a plan.
Okay, what? What are we gonna do? - They're here because they need us.
- Yeah.
So, if we figure out what they're trying to do, maybe we can screw them up.
For now, we cooperate - We can't! - We see where they're going.
No heroics.
No refusing to do what they say.
You two.
Come on.
Wait, it's as cold as Edmonton in here.
Can I get a sweater from my locker? - No.
- Just a measly sweater.
Doc, you can stay here with me.
You two, please go with him.
It's gonna be okay, Bob.
You do as they say.
Remember you guys, you're scientists.
You let the cops be the heroes.
- You're getting smarter.
- Let's see how smart you are.
Wait here.
Go to him.
You are to make one set of primers then use it along with these other 4 sets to make five mutations using this cloning strategy.
Use this reverse transcriptase and PCR kit.
I know they are both good so there can be no mistakes.
Well, I'll have to make a DNA vector.
- And what will I use for a template? - Here's a tube of vector DNA.
Start making the primer, prepare the vector for cloning.
I'll take care of the template.
You have eight hours to do it.
Whatever it is they want, do it.
Can I at least get my music? Get to work.
Come with me.
Bilal, he's a fragile man.
You have to be patient with him.
I need you to get me Okay, if you're gonna be screening a toxin from a bacterium like E.
Coli then I suggest CCL-81.
But if you're growing some sort of virus, I'd make CRL-1587.
Use Vero E6, it's the fastest.
- Okay.
- And use 10% FBS.
- How else would I do it? - Do it and talk less.
Whatever you say, Bilal, whatever you say.
Let the police be the heroes.
- You're getting smarter.
- Let's see how smart you are.
We gotta talk.
Doc, what would you like in it? I'll take it black.
Listen, what's your name? Come on, man, just a first name.
Alright, I'll call you Charles.
Charles, here's your problem: what if somebody decides to be a hero? Any one of these people can throw this off and you'd never know who.
Where is this leading? Let me help you, alright? I will make sure that they really do what you say.
And then when we're all finished, you can let them go, and if you need a hostage or, you know, someone to kill, you got me.
Doc, I told you we'd let you all go.
Our plan works whether you live or die.
Well, that's reassuring.
Do we have a deal? No.
Want some cheese? Hey, Doc.
Let me cut that for you.
Can I please listen to my music? It relaxes me.
No.
Hurry up! Move! I can't concentrate.
I need my music.
Get back to your work! Idiot! - I'm sorry, you scared me! - Shut up! Move!{ - Shut up! - Okay, but I need my music.
I was talking about that.
Now you need to let me help you if you want to get out of here in time.
Is it ruined? - Yes - Hey! Okay, Doctor.
You can supervise your team along with Bilal.
Thanks, Chuck.
- What were you spinning - Quiet! No talking.
Come, I want to see how Bob is doing.
I think I've lost the RNA pellet when I was drying it.
Sorry Stop! Stay here.
I have another aliquot.
Don't touch anything.
You're running primers, Bob? How many sets in total? - Don't answer.
- How am I supposed You don't have to know everything.
I got a little nervous because you're a little nervous.
I'm not nervous.
You need anything, Bob? Dr.
Sandstrà m.
So what are we doing here? He's expecting me to grow Vero cells faster than they can replicate.
It is possible with the conditions I've given you.
Less talk, more work.
What are we making? Something viral.
But what? Carlos is working with RNA.
Bob's doing mutations.
Wait a sec.
What did Mayko say? Wait, it's as cold as Edmonton in here.
Do you think I can get a sweater? - No, get in there.
- A measly sweater! "Edmonton".
"Measly".
Edmonston Measles Virus? Ah, fuck.
Oh, they are smart.
Measles killed more people than AIDS.
Tweak it and the bodies will pile up to the sky.
We're making the measles genome really nasty.
Do you how many mutations Bob was making? Five! Five.
He went like this.
Okay What will we do? - I'd start with growth rate.
- I heard about this Japanese scientist who wanted to make the measles vaccine infectious, spread immunity naturally.
He got measles to grow - It was well documented.
- Alright One.
Next change will be stealth.
Something that would allow the virus to become less detectable by a vaccinated host.
What would you tweak? - Come on.
- I would mutate the dominant epitopes in the F, H and N proteins.
Okay great.
Now everybody who is inoculated can get it too, right? Right.
Add something to make measles more deadly.
- How much would it take? - Virulence? One mutation.
That's what they took from Fort Egan.
They can get the rest off the internet.
David, we can't do this.
We can't cooperate.
Listen to me.
We can kill him with what I have on the shelf.
- What about the other two? - There are five of us, two of them! - With two machine guns.
- We take his weapon.
- You ever fired a gun? - Hundreds of times.
We cannot make a highly contagious killer measles.
David.
Weaponized measles.
No, we can't.
Okay, I gotta get alone with Bob.
I'll pull on my ear, you create a fuss.
Okay.
Bilal! - Who's watching them?! - I am! From where? Out here? We're on schedule.
We're all good.
- How are you doing here? - Great.
{ Never do that again.
Good.
Here's the template.
Get going.
Cloning this many DNA fragments will take at least a week.
No.
It's a new variation on the mutagenesis protocol.
You'll be able to insert multiple point mutations at once.
They were on to this in San Diego.
Somebody slipped you the protocol? Something like that.
- Sorry, where were we? - Let's start here.
Bilal! I have a problem! Oh, shit.
No, hang on a sec.
Okay, listen.
Five mutations, but I bet you're only running primers for one set, right? They already had four set and I'm synthesizing the fifth.
I've no idea know what happened.
- It was the Bunsen burner and I - Get her out! Ow, let me go! It may be a virulence gene to weaponize Edmonston measles.
What do you think? I dunno.
It wasn't in our viral database.
Because they got it from Fort Egan.
Jesus.
Stop! Get away from me! Here's what I want you to do.
The normal genome is on our database.
We can figure out which one of the primers has mutation and exclude it.
Without it, the polymerase will only replicate the normal gene.
Exactly.
Do it.
Leave me alone! You get your fucking hands off of me! One move, then I'm gonna hurt you.
- You let go.
- Okay.
Carlos! Stay where you are! - Go back! Get the fuck back! - I'm a doctor, let me attend to her.
Bilal.
The fire's out.
It looks like she started it on purpose.
Get up! Get her up! Take it easy.
Take it easy.
If you can't work We don't need you.
Do you understand? - I'm the virologist.
- So? Get her out of my face.
- You're a virologist, too, Doctor? - I'm a molecular biologist.
But an expert in the Spanish Flu, no? - We makin' the Spanish flu? - Do her work.
Go.
Now.
Any problem with her, you shoot them both.
You understand? Yeah, you're right, it's cold as Edmonton in here.
Finished with the PCR? You're fast.
I work better when I have music.
Now start cloning the DNA.
How's Rachel? Set up the cells.
Yes, Sir.
- You okay? - Yeah.
We're weaponizing measles.
David, when he comes back, we take his gun.
Bob's out there.
They put a gun to his head, we'll cave.
This isn't caving? Bob is only synthesizing one set of primers, okay? We're right, it's for virulence.
I told him how to mess it up.
We'll be giving them the world's most contagious measles and no one will die.
David, that is a very big "if".
I think I'm right.
If you're wrong, you're going to have - How the fuck will they know? - What cleared Bilal for security? He was born and raised in Belgium.
US citizen.
DHS and RCMP cleared him.
That's ammonium hydroxide in those bottles.
When he comes back, throw it in his face, we overpower him - I prefer not to anger armed men! - They're going to kill us! - You don't know that! - If and when we fight back, we are gonna have one chance, alright? We do it when Recovered? Never better.
Come.
I need you to do a viral prep.
Here are your instructions.
- This how they do it in Pakistan? - I don't know, never been there.
You know, there's a problem, I'll need to talk to Bilal.
Start with the transfection.
Use Nucleofector 6 in a ratio of 1 to 7.
What happens when this is all over? - You go home.
- Yeah but we've seen your faces.
Won't matter.
Show time.
Come on.
Get up.
You too.
You.
Wait a minute.
If you want to test that, you test it on me, Chuckles.
No.
- Her.
- She's the best virologist here! Yes.
- What we asked you to make, it's right? - We followed your instructions.
Then I don't need her, do I? - Test it on me.
- Come.
Test it on me! - No wait! - Test it on me! All of you, move! You too.
All of you, let's go! Is this the real thing? - I don't know.
Is it? - What we asked you to make? - Yeah.
- Then take it.
In a few hours, I'll know whether or not you were telling the truth.
Then I'll let you go.
- If she takes it, she'll be OK, right? - Bob? - I did what David told me to.
- Then hopefully it's harmless.
Question is, does Rachel know that? No, I'll make the others sick.
That's why I brought you here.
You'll be in quarantine.
Now take it.
- I'll be dead.
- Take it and you may die tomorrow.
Don't take it, and you will die now.
- Shit! - What? I think Bilal was sequencing the measles.
He'll find out we didn't do the last mutation.
Fuck! Listen.
I don't know what the hell you had us make, but I bet I'd rather die from a gunshot - than from that.
- Inhale it.
- Shoot me.
I'm not taking it.
- Take it! Fuck you.
I'm not gonna take it.
I am going to count to three.
- Count.
- One - I'm not taking it.
- Two - Shoot me.
- Now! Three! I believe you.
I believe it's real.
Thank you, you're free to go.
Bullshit.
You don't need me anymore.
You don't need any of us.
Turn around.
Turn around.
God! Maybe Maybe it was Maybe it was a warning shot.
Yeah, maybe My God, they're gonna kill us all.
No, they're They're just testing it.
They wouldn't kill Rachel, right? They'd wait at least 12 hours.
She's okay, I'm sure.
I mean, would you kill your guinea pigs? Right? Now's the time, guys.
Now's the time.
Shit.
They took out the ammonia hydroxide! What do we do now? If you're planning a rebellion, you should know: the building is wired with explosives.
Is Rachel okay? Hurry up! Up! I said get up! I said up! We gotta go! Come on! You got one second.
Bob, get the gun! Get the gun! Weapon please.
Let him have the gun, Bob.
Slowly.
I have news.
Bilal has sequenced the genetic mutations that we asked for.
Five out of five.
Perfect.
Good work, gentlemen.
To your health.
What the fuck is going on? They're using themselves as a delivery system.
- But we didn't do the last mutation.
- Maybe Bilal made a mistake.
Maybe we did.
Gentlemen.
We will speak only the language they understand.
Death.
Then they will stop the invasions.
Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan.
And with this unbottled, we will spread justice.
And we will be rewarded in Paradise.
We're leaving.
Finish them off, get rid of the bodies before sunrise.
You have done your work.
Now you will be rewarded.
- Now they'll think you're all dead.
- Who the hell are you? They're gone.
It's over.
What did you say? I'm an undercover agent.
I need to confirm a reservation.
The name is Smith.
Smith! That's right, Smith.
Where's Rachel? Is she dead? Why didn't you stop them? We didn't know who the other 5 in the cell were! My orders were to wait until they all got here, alright? Their plan was to fly to London, Moscow, Tel Aviv, New York, Tokyo.
In 25 weeks, measles would've killed more people than AIDS did in 25 years.
- Would have if the virus was harmless? - I saw! I saw that you sabotaged the mutation, but we didn't know if you would.
- You could have stopped this! - You used us.
I had my orders.
You're alive.
And millions won't die.
Do not move! Drop your weapon and move forward! You OK? Shit! Hey, baby.
- You okay? - Yeah.
I just had this crazy nightmare.
Come back to bed.
I gotta get a glass of water.
You stay warm.
Maybe it's too soon.
Oh, no.
Believe me.
I am glad that you are here.
It's only been a month.
I'm fine, Rach.
You want some water? No, thanks.
I don't know why I'm having these nightmares.
Guilt.
- Because of Wes.
- No, no Where is Wes anyway? He never comes to work anymore.
Wes is in Sweden.
Yeah And I died in the lab.
You really have to learn to say good-bye, David.
I just I just need some time alone is all.
Are you drinking? Not nearly enough.
Enuka Okimba.
I don't mind sleeping with the boss.
- Fine by me.
- Then I accept your job offer.
You can never keep your personal life separate from your professional life, and then you leave the rest of us picking up the pieces.
Ms.
Tran? Please, our daughter has a aplastic anemia.
Her bone marrow doesn't work.
She's dying.
- Please, just read this report.
- We have nowhere else to go.
If humans follow the same timeline as the monkeys, in a week, possibly two, Nina may begin to experience the same violent tendencies.
Nina, did I wake you? No! What's happening?
