Invasion s01e04 Episode Script

Alpha Male

Invasion Adaptation -Ez-, Keno83, Ronanasplit & Lucile76 There are no accidents, Lewis.
Everything happens for a reason.
Look at our town.
Yeah, it's a shame.
On one level, maybe.
But I think it's an opportunity, too.
It's an opportunity to grow.
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right ? Hey, sheriff.
You're doing a terrific job.
Thank you, Roger.
How's the shop ? Took a few lumps, but we'll be back.
I know you will.
You see? He's a survivor like all the folks that are gonna take us to the next level.
In the aftermath of hurricane Eve, it seems as if all of South Florida is taking stock.
But here in homestead, taking stock means waiting waiting for loved ones who are still missing.
And for many people, waiting in line for the most basic necessities Ice, food, gas, water medicine.
All are in very short supply.
I'm here with Terrence Gale from the Florida Department of Health.
Can you tell me, in situations like this, should we expect things to get worse before they get better ? Well, with so much displacement, we're always concerned about disease.
But that's why these relief centers are so important.
Because they can provide a ration of hope for families who have been forced out of their homes and allow them to get food or medicine or whatever they would require.
How do you keep up with demand ? Access is the greatest challenge.
- I've visited most of these places - You're one of them.
You're one of them ! Help ! Help ! Mona, I'm coming in with another load.
I have no idea where we're gonna put'em all.
Here, take this little guy.
Be careful.
He's a little scrappy.
Come on.
It's okay.
It's okay.
How come you're playing Noah's ark ? 'Cause I can't use my truck.
The sheriff's got all the roads closed Weren't closed for him.
He had no problem getting Larkin to Key Largo.
What are they doing down there ? She was following upon a story.
We have an E.
T.
A.
On when we're getting water ? I've heard six weeks.
Six weeks ? That's what they tell me.
The sheriff has water now.
How do you know ? Because when I dropped the kids off at his house, your ex was taking a bath.
That's how I know.
That son of a bitch! No one has water.
Well, I guess it pays to be the man, huh ? Hey, Russ ! Where earlier today, Wnkw's Larkin Groves was attacked on camera by a deranged woman at the E.
O.
C.
But now the question remains Why did this woman attack her ? Oh, no.
Do you know how they get in ? They're in.
I saw her.
I saw her She was there.
I'm not crazy.
I'm not crazy.
They get in.
That's all That's what they do.
They're in She was one of them.
She was.
She was one of what ? One of them.
One of the television people.
They're everywhere.
You want a latte with that, Janie ? Dr.
Bates.
Looks like somebody forgot to take their meds.
How long have you been treating her ? Six years She's schizophrenic.
When she's on her thorazine, we don't have a problem.
Why did she stop taking it ? It was not available at the relief center.
- Should it have been ? - Yes.
But the distributor couldn't get into town.
He was turned away at one of the roadblocks.
- When did you hear about this ? - I just heard about it.
I was seeing a patient who's normally very responsible, and she didn't take her meds and it's because she couldn't.
She couldn't get them.
I see.
Was this medicine specifically marked for paloma middle school ? Yes.
And has this been an ongoing problem ? Earlier today, I spoke with Terrence Gale of the Department of Health and he told me that he's been to all of the relief centers, and none of them have the proper supplies.
I'm gonna get right on this.
Just hold on.
Okay, folks, I'd like Hold it up ! Hold up ! Hold up ! I just need to know when the grid's gonna be back up.
I can't give you a definitive answer.
Our crews are working.
Listen up ! Our crews are working 24/7, but we're talking about a very large area here with very limited access.
Okay.
A week, two weeks ? Maybe six to eight.
Mayor ? Power means nothing if you don't have a roof.
But what we're hearing is that construction materials are being doled out very selectively, and some people are being shut out all together.
That's not true.
If you go to a supply center and get in line You may live to see another day.
My wife was just attacked at a center.
A mentally ill woman hadn't gotten her medication because the truck carrying it was turned away at a roadblock.
Now I thought this lockdown, or "safety circle," as you called it, Mayor, was supposed to protect our community, not make it more dangerous.
Good morning, Russell.
I'm sorry about your wife.
I hope Larkin's all right.
The system isn't perfect, and I realize that our checkpoints may be causing an inconvenience.
But we are safer for them.
They're helping us to enforce a curfew - marginalize looting.
- They're choking us, tom.
And I don't really see who they're serving.
Half the checkpoints are in the town itself.
On roads that have already been cleared.
Nobody wants to be cut off.
But we are.
And the business community can't repair itself without supplies.
If you Mayor, if you just open up the roads that are secure, it'll speed things up for us.
Then we need to lose the perimeter.
It's not helping anybody.
You're all missing the point.
We're still in the containment stage here, with so many people from our town unaccounted for.
Chemical and fertilizer plants that are damaged Those are all C.
D.
C.
Issues.
- Our main water supply may be contaminated.
- Then why are you using it ? Excuse me ? You have water at your house, right, Tom ? - How'd you manage that ? - We have a well.
Your development has a well ? No, I have a well.
Tom, we all understand your concerns but maybe we've gone too far here.
If people can't get to us, we can't rebuild.
That'll be bad for everyone.
All right.
Let's open the doors.
And see what comes through.
You sure you're gonna be able to carry all that stuff ? I'm not carrying anything.
She is.
I'm just working in a management capacity.
I'm working in a management capacity.
- You're hammering.
- Oh, no, she's hammering.
Oh, oh, you want hammering ? No, no, no, no.
Aah, not the bag.
Not the bag.
Underlay.
Are you fondling your brother again ? - What do you want, Derek ? - You.
When do I get my ration of you ? Go away.
Going to Biscayne tonight, to a little bonfire.
You should come.
I think I'll have other plans.
He can come, too.
So today was the big showdown, huh ? Big public mano a mano ? It wasn't that big.
You kicked his ass, right ? Guess I kind of did.
That's awesome.
That guy needed a good ass kicking.
So no roadblocks, right ? No.
Cool.
Okay, first thing tomorrow.
I want Larkin to take us down to Key Largo.
Why ? 'Cause I want to see what she saw.
- I'm sure it's all gone by now, Dave.
- No, we don't know that.
Larkin said Underlay told her that they were looking for some downed helicopter.
He told her that the Air Force was looking for some missing weather airplane.
When they got there, they both saw soldiers loading some mystery box into the back of a truck.
Wouldn't you like to know what was in that mystery box ? - I'd rather know why Underlay was showing it to her.
- You know why.
Control.
Guys like Underlay thrive on control.
He definitely knows there's aliens here.
Oh, Dave Air Force knows it, too.
He just has to control the information or risk blowing his entire alliance.
What alliance ? With the aliens.
Why are we stopping here ? Because we're returning to Earth.
What is this place ? It's one of our research facilities.
They've been out of radio contact all day.
What do they do here ? They study animals, tropical diseases.
Shawn, you here ? All the researchers left before the hurricane, but I know the care taker's been back.
It's Russell ! Oh, no.
the primates are gone.
What ? How did they get out ? Hurricane, I bet.
No, the care taker said they were all here.
Yeah, well they're not now.
Dave Dave ? Dave, you home ? I'm sorry.
I waited outside, but the mosquitoes were killing me.
How did you I didn't see your car.
I parked in the back.
I didn't mean to startle you.
Russell's not here.
I know.
How you doing ? I heard about what happened.
I'm all right.
Just a little unnerving.
I'll bet.
Everything all right with the baby ? Yeah.
Everybody's okay.
Good.
I was curious if you'd learned anything more about that box.
Oh.
No.
Haven't had the chance to follow up on it yet.
You ? Well, I called my contact at the Air Force.
He's former C.
I.
A.
, So you never really know when you're getting a straight story.
- I thought you said you trusted him.
- I do.
But sometimes he with holds.
- You really want to push this thing ? - Yes.
If the military is working on something secret down here I want to know about it.
Okay.
But if you end up with a story, you just can't tell anyone that I helped you get it, not even your husband.
Russell already knows you helped me.
Larkin.
What I showed you was highly confidential.
Yeah, from the news.
- I didn't think you were talking about my family.
- From everyone.
I went out on a limb for you.
You wanna be a good wife ? Talk to your husband.
But if you wanna be a good reporter, talk to me.
Just don't tell anyone you're doing it.
It was feeding time.
The guy either opened every cage at once because he's stupid, or he opened one, maybe two, apes got spooked, broke out their buddies and ripped the guy apart.
They weren't apes.
They were gray baboons.
And they didn't kill him, at least not intentionally.
How do you know ? Because his wounds were superficial.
He was bleeding from the nose and mouth.
You think he was poisoned ? I think he contracted an infectious disease.
These are all the test regimens of the baboons inside.
Any or all of'em could have been carriers.
Of what ? I'm hoping he can tell us.
Any of you touch anything in there ? No.
Good.
They're testing his blood now.
His blood's on my foot.
I'd wash it.
What about the baboons ? They'll have to be found.
Even if the disease isn't airborne if they're carriers, anything they touch will be contaminated.
Those the regimens ? Can I see these ? Start putting a team together.
All right, Dave, as soon as you get the all clear, I want you to go home and make sure Larkin and the kids stay inside.
Don't let them out until you hear from me.
Yeah, okay.
If the baboons are found quickly, we may be able to contain this.
But if not Dispatch, this is Ranger Varon.
We're gonna need six teams out here A.
S.
A.
P.
To start tracking down these primates.
Put wild life in charge of three.
I'll oversee the others.
Let's just start working the grid and then we'll head east towards homestead, roger ? Roger that.
You owe me so big.
I never work this hard at my house.
Well, then this is invaluable training, Kira.
- Jess ? - What ? Have you heard from your Dad lately ? I don't have a radio.
Yeah, I tried radioing him.
He's not answering.
Well, he might be out of range.
You guys want dinner ? Rose might, but Jesse and I are going out.
We are ? Out where ? Bonfire.
What about the curfew ? Oh, well, we'll be back before then.
I don't know, I think you guys ought to wait and ask your father.
Well, can't we ask you ? I mean you do have some authority around here, don't you ? All right, but don't be too late.
Nice play on the stepparent guilt.
Yeah, it's pretty effective.
You could try it with my dad if he actually felt guilt.
When did this come in ? Five minutes ago.
Did you let everyone know ? Absolutely.
Everything's opened up.
Route 1, krome avenue-just let it bleed.
I'll be back in 20.
Roger that.
- Hello, Mrs.
Underlay.
- Hello.
Brought you lunch.
How you doing ? I'm keeping my head above water.
Is that a joke ? Yeah.
The woman who attacked Larkin this morning she's schizophrenic.
Her doctor told me that's he was abused as a child, and as a result of that abuse, she disassociated.
She still can't come to terms with what happened to her.
You're not schizophrenic, Mariel.
I know.
But I am different since the hurricane.
You're different because you survived.
Not everyone can say that.
But why did I survive ? What's that ? It's a warning from the health department.
Some baboons escaped from a research facility in the glades.
They may be carrying an infectious disease.
Dispatch ? Dispatch, you there ? Over.
Tom, what the hell ? I almost hit you.
I understand there are primates out here with some kind of killer disease.
Why wasn't I called ? - We're in the glades.
- Oh, and what makes you think this thing is gonna staying the glades ? There's a town just north of here with people.
A notice went out from the health department.
Yeah, I read the notice.
You tracking these things alone ? No, our team just split up.
If I still had my lockdown, I might have been able to contain this.
- You wanna help ? - I don't have a choice.
Larkin ? hey, it's me.
It's Dave.
- Dave.
- Hey, where are the kids ? They're in bed.
No, no, no, Rose is here.
She's sleeping, but where's Jesse ? Is he out with Kira somewhere ? - It's past 11.
- Yeah, I know.
- Where are they ? - They went to a park, but they said that they would be back here before curfew.
A park ? Where ? What park ? What's wrong ? We found a guy today who was exposed to some kind of virus that they think might have killed him in less than 48 hours.
- What ? - Yeah, it may be passed on by baboons.
- Baboons ? What are you talking - Russell's been out there hunting them all day.
But if Jesse and Kira are still out there - Oh, my god ! - Larkin, where are you going ? Hold on.
Do you know where they are ? - No, but I have to find them ! - Well, how ? They said they went to a park ! Larkin, the entire everglades is a park.
I don't care ! Russell is gonna kill me.
- Mariel is gonna kill me.
- They're not gonna kill you.
Listen ! Stay here with Rose, okay, and have them radio me when they get back.
Larkin, I Stay ! Like I was sayin'before, if you want it, you gotta go and get it, you know ? Okay.
Yeah.
- All right, man.
- Yeah, right.
Hello, girls.
How are you ? Dude, you want the worm ? - I'm cool.
- You sure ? Yeah.
All right.
I was just wondering if maybe I could steal this young lady ? You know, my dad's a ranger, too, you know ? - I know.
- I think we even, like, used to play together as kids and stuff.
Back when your dad was married to that other babe.
That other babe's my mom.
Oh.
Cool.
So what's with the arm ? Oh, I, uh - I got in an accident.
- Yeah, I guess you kinda did.
She's so hot.
Man.
You're not related to her, are you ? You know what time it is, man ? No, man, sorry.
All right.
Later.
Hey, Kira.
Hey, I think we should get going.
Yeah, yeah, me, too.
Wait for me.
How many are we looking for, sheriff ? I don't know.
Ask him.
Seven, one male, six females.
Do you know how they got out ? The care taker was probably exposed during the hurricane, got disoriented, let them out by accident.
Shouldn't we be checking the trees ? Hamadryas baboons spend most of their time on the ground.
What's that ? It's hearts of palm baboon food.
Want a bite ? No.
Knock yourself out.
You talk to the kids ? Not today.
Can I borrow your radio ? Mine's dead.
Channel 4 is your house.
You keep our frequency ? Only as long as we share children.
Honey.
Honey, you there ? - Yeah.
Hey, baby.
- Hey.
Did Dave tell you what was going on ? Yeah, yeah, he did.
Are you all right ? Yeah, still out here looking.
Tom's with me now.
The kids okay ? Larkin ? Yeah.
Everybody's gonna be all right.
Good.
I'm gonna be out here pretty late.
I just wanted you to know.
I love you.
Okay, I love you, too.
You guys are really cute.
Like a couple of newlyweds.
We are newlyweds.
Yeah, well, so are Mariel and I, but we're not as cute.
it could be an allergic reaction, maybe an infection.
Her fever shot up pretty quick.
She's coughed up some blood.
I need to take a listen to your lungs, honey.
Just take a deep breath.
And again.
Call the C.
D.
C.
This is torture.
It's merely a test.
A test of what ? See if you're worthy.
- Close your eyes.
- No way.
Close your eyes and open your mouth.
You open your mouth.
Okay.
Now you.
****- What art **** - Shut, they're close.
Kill the flashlights.
Lewis.
Lewis? They're close.
Yeah.
Based on the first victim's blood test, the C.
D.
C.
thinks it may be a strain of Asian flu that hasn't been seen since 1957.
I've ordered up the vaccine, but they don't have any stored, so it has to be synthesized.
They won't have it down here for at least two days.
What does that mean for our girl ? Not good.
Where did she come from ? She's local.
Her father's the minister at the first Baptist church.
Did her family say anything about encountering a baboon ? No, but she's been around a lot of people.
Her church has been acting as a relief center.
That's the male.
So tell me why you took Larkin down to Key Largo.
Now ? Good a time as any.
I think you ought to shock the monkey.
If we wait, we'll have'em all.
If we capture the dominant male, the females won't try to escape.
So why'd you do it ? 'Cause she was badgering the hell out of me.
So that's the only reason ? You know, Russell, if you trusted me more, it really would make life easier for everyone, and we'd both probably be home right now, in bed with our wives.
What the hell ? Kira.
I've been looking for you guys all night.
- I - Where's Jesse ? Did I wait long enough ? Jesse, you promised me you would be home.
What was I supposed to do, just leave her ? Look, it's my fault, Larkin.
I'm really sorry.
Come on, let's just go.
Way to go, Derek ! Dude.
How many cases now ? Three.
Two more came in this morning.
- Good news or bad ? - Both.
We've examined all the baboons, none are carriers.
- What ? - That's the good.
Your care taker, the little girl, the two new patients ? If you don't find a common thread between all of them very quickly, you'll have a hundred cases before the end of the week.
You have to stop this, now.
- Quarantine ? - Absolutely.
Lewis.
Yes, sir.
Safety circle's back on.
I want full quarantine protocol now.
Increase perimeter to 10 miles.
Two officers at every checkpoint.
Lock it down.
Yes, sir.
The care taker, the little girl, the two new victims, it's the same flu.
There's no common carrier.
No, but you know what ? There is a pattern developing.
With the exception of your care taker, all of the cases have broken out at relief centers.
One of the new victims is from here.
That's bright water park.
And that little girl practically lived at the first Baptist church.
And the other one's from here paloma middle school.
That's where Larkin was attacked.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or by virtue of the fact that so many people are passing through these places.
We should talk to Terrence Gale.
Who's that ? Department of health.
He's the one that's been running point at all these centers.
I mean, that's the person that Larkin interviewed this morning.
He was first on the scene when I put in the call about the care taker.
Thanks, Russ.
We'll take it from here.
I'll talk to him.
Why don't you both talk to him ? Mr.
Gale ? Yes ? I'm Russell Varon.
We met yesterday.
Stay there.
Don't touch anything.
Why not ? What do you want ? To talk to you.
The disease seems to be connected to all the relief centers.
You're here to arrest me ? You're the carrier, aren't you ? Mr.
Gale ? But I'm not sick.
God, you know, I was exposed over a week ago.
I should be dead by now.
I'm not even sick.
Why am I not sick ? How were you infected ? I went to the research facility the day after eve hit.
I asked the care taker to show me what vaccines that they had in case that we needed more, and I'd had kind of a rough night.
I was shaky.
Did you contaminate yourself on purpose ? No.
What why would I do that ? It was an accident.
I dropped one of the samples.
It spilled on my hands.
It was this flu.
I immediately called to order up the vaccine.
But when I didn't get sick, I I thought it, the tube was just mislabelled.
But when you saw the care taker had died ? I began to wonder if it might be me.
I'd shaken hands with the man when I left.
Somehow my body has resisted the infection.
And I've spread it to all these other people.
It's miraculous.
Miraculous ? Lewis, we're gonna need an ambulance and a hazmat team.
Roger that.
You knew you were exposed, but you still went out anyway ? I didn't show any symptoms.
Did you touch my wife ? Did you ? Russ.
No.
No.
Thank you, Mr.
Gale.
The ambulance will be here in a minute.
Thank you.
Come on, Russ.
Good call.
We're gonna contain this thing.
Why isn't he sick, Tom ? I don't know, but we won't have to quarantine.
The vaccine's are coming tomorrow.
We'll get them to everyone this guy's been in contact with.
Just keep the safety circle.
No quarantine ? Maybe next time you give me the benefit of the doubt, huh ? Why isn't he sick ? You take care.
Drive safe.
Lewis.
Mr.
Gale.
I think something happened to you during the hurricane something maybe you don't understand.
We should talk.
What are you doing ? Hey, I'm contagious.
Not to me.
