Zoo (2015) s03e05 Episode Script

Drop It Like It's Hot

1 JAMIE: Ten years ago, the animal population mutated, endangering human life on the planet.
Our team managed to cure the animals, but at a terrible cost.
In an attempt to return the planet to the animals, a secretive group called the Shepherds released a gas that sterilized all of humanity.
And then lab-made creatures called hybrids devastated the West Coast.
So a massive barrier was constructed, to protect the rest of North America, but new breeds have started to appear, so we reassembled our team.
We battle on many fronts, searching for a cure to sterility while racing to stop the hybrids and a brutal terrorist who is using them to end the human race.
The fight for mankind's survival has just begun.
- Previously on Zoo - LEANNE: I'm here to make you a deal.
I can get Isaac back.
Let's talk about Clementine Lewis.
Deal is on.
(Grunting) LEANNE: Perfect.
By day's end, you'll be - holding your son again.
- MITCH: Who's The Falcon? JAMIE: I got really sick of not seeing justice done, so I went out and did it myself.
After all this time, The Falcon's remained out of reach.
LOGAN: Do you have any suspects? - Yeah, we got one in custody.
- I did it.
My name is Jackson Oz.
You said what we had was real, but it was built on a lie.
- Tessa, please.
- A pretty damn huge one.
- Mansdale.
- JAMIE: One of the Shepherds who tried - to end the world.
- (groaning) This is who we're looking for Abigail Westbrook.
Abigail is setting off a beacon inside Reiden Tower - in New York City? - ABIGAIL: I'm going to create a new world.
And I'm bringing my hybrids with me.
JACKSON: She used this device back at the cabin.
MITCH: That device was attracting the hybrids to its location.
(screeching) More questions than answers at this hour after the first ever hybrid attack on the East Coast.
New York City has joined the list of cities ravaged by a new species of flying hybrids.
Where did these winged monsters come from? Were they linked to hybrids spotted near the volcanic eruption in Mexico yesterday? And perhaps, more importantly, where are they now? (screeching) DARIELA: This is a bad idea.
(groans) I found the copper wire.
No, that-that won't work.
It has to be insulated.
Copper wire will block the signal.
Well, if you ask me, blocking the signal's exactly what the doctor ordered.
No.
If we do that, we have no way of knowing which way the hybrids will fly.
They could attack another city.
- (phone ringing) - It's Mitch.
Hey, we got a problem.
Yeah, a big one.
You attached the beacon to a drone with a bum fuel cylinder.
- We had to rescue it.
- MITCH: So where are the hybrids? Oh, they're here, trying to bash their way into the plane.
We're going to fly back to Mexico and drop this beacon into the volcano.
And the hybrids along with it.
We have to make sure to kill them.
Cool plan provided you get to the volcano before the hybrids get to you.
Yeah, thanks for the vote of confidence.
What's the update on Abigail? That's the other thing.
Turns out, Logan's a lousy cop.
He shot Abigail, but she got away.
Oh, and he arrested Jamie.
What? Why? For murdering the Reiden CEO.
Leanne Ducovny? She's dead? Banner day, all things considered.
I'm at the precinct now trying to sort it all out.
Hey, is Clem with you guys? (loud banging) She's still in New York, Mitch.
She went after a part for a truck, and we had to take off.
Sounds like she dodged a bullet.
I'll track her down.
Well, good luck with the suicide mission.
(loud banging) (grunts) JACKSON: We need another battery.
I'll grab it.
DARIELA: We're almost there.
Is it ready? JACKSON: I hope so.
30 miles out from the volcano.
Okay, look, we only get one shot at this.
Wind's at 240 knots.
Maybe we should wait until we're close enough to the volcano, - and then just drop it.
- Ten miles out.
We'd need to weigh it down with something about a thousand pounds heavier.
That'll work.
Keep the press out.
Don't confirm or deny the suspect.
The captain wants this one kept quiet.
Jamie.
Jamie, don't say anything.
Okay? Let me call your lawyer.
I need Mansdale.
(loud banging) DARIELA: Hurry up.
JACKSON: Open the door.
(alarm blaring) Three, two, one.
Mansda What do you need Mansdale for? Get him off the plane and bring him here.
No.
No, no, no! No! What do you mean Mansdale's gone? He escaped.
Well, how far could he have gone? Oh.
That's not good.
He hid in Jamie's Mustang.
We put the beacon in the Mustang and threw it into the volcano.
Huh.
Well, that's unfortunate.
But I'll figure something out.
How are you guys used to these things? - You can't be here.
- Feel like I got a chickpea in my ear.
Mitch, I'm serious.
You have to leave now.
Nope.
Not without Jamie.
- Come on.
- (Logan sighs) You know she didn't kill anybody.
She cares about one thing: Hunting Shepherds.
I never should've let her into Reiden.
Let me talk to her.
She's a criminal.
I'm a cop.
You need to leave.
Yeah.
You'd like that, wouldn't you? The way I hear it, you've had it out for Jamie ever since she dumped you.
You have no idea what you're talking about, okay? You were gone for a long time.
Well, I'm back now.
And I'm not gonna let you punish Jamie for breaking your little heart.
So, you're gonna slap a special consultant badge right here on my chest and you're gonna take me in there with you, or your captain's gonna hear about how you stormed Reiden Tower and then disposed of key evidence via mail drone.
Right, so you're gonna blackmail me for trying to stop Abigail? Yeah.
Pretty much.
JACKSON: It worked; All the flying hybrids followed the beacon right into the volcano, but we have to get to Abigail before she hurts anyone else.
We should turn around and head back to New York.
First we have to go after Isaac.
Look, I'm sorry, rafiki, but we were not honest with you.
Isaac is not safe.
He's still in Reiden's custody.
Why didn't you tell me? DARIELA and I, we thought we could get Isaac back on our own.
But we were wrong.
Then we'll go after him together.
Okay? I have not been honest with you guys either.
Back in Portland, Logan did some tests on Abigail's blood, DNA tests.
And I should've just told you from the beginning, but I thought that I could handle it on my own, too.
Handle what? Abigail is my sister.
Wh-What? Another one of my father's secrets, I guess.
I couldn't stop him.
I have to stop her.
(computer beeping) DARIELA: It's an SOS.
Who could be signaling for help? Wasn't this side of the mountain lost to hybrids years ago? The IADG evacuated everyone.
We have to get down there.
I can't let anyone else die because of Abigail.
Then we will go get Isaac.
I promise.
Okay.
Let's do this.
Abe? Isaac knows we're coming for him.
I hope so.
I'm just thankful we didn't trade Clem for Isaac.
I mean, how could I look into my son's eyes knowing that I put another man's child in danger? You okay? Yeah.
(sighs, mumbles) DARIELA: Abort.
The deal is off.
Do not touch Clementine.
Let her go immediately.
(phone beeps) We have a problem.
See, we had a deal in place.
With Reiden? Whatever they told you, it isn't true.
I didn't steal anything from them.
I want to believe you, Clementine, I do, but I have a vast experience in matters such as these, and people don't make deals over valueless merchandise.
See, Leanne? She's dead.
And for the moment, our deal is dead along with her.
But, between you and me, I think that we can come up with a better one.
I just need to know what makes you so special.
Nothing.
Please.
Wait.
No Come on, is it something you know? Something you have? Something you took? (breathing shakily) Please.
Stop.
You're making a mistake! Three, two, one.
I'm pregnant! Shock me and you'll kill the first baby conceived in the last ten years.
Let's call The Gentlemen.
Who who are The Gentlemen? Who are The Gentlemen? Who are The Gentlemen?! (door closes) Is my friend coming? Uh, long story, but no.
He's definitely not gonna make it.
It's gonna take more than friends to get you out of this one, Jamie.
We have your prints on the door handle, on Leanne's tablet, and on Leanne's body.
And your confession at the scene.
I want to speak to my attorney.
Have you called them? I'm representing myself.
- You're joking, right? - No, and I'm appointing a co-counsel, Mitch Morgan.
Um, no.
Uh, that's a terrible idea.
And an illegal one.
Actually, if you pull my medical records, you'll see that I've been diagnosed with PTSD.
Because of that disability, I'm allowed to appoint co-counsel when choosing to self-represent.
Mitch, please.
You happen to have one that says "co-counsel"? Don't do this.
You're not a lawyer.
Well, you're not a cop.
So, I'd like to be alone with my client.
Go for it.
Just tell me the truth.
You didn't really kill this woman, right? ABRAHAM: This is where the SOS signal originated.
Hello? Anyone here? That's good, call the razorbacks to our position.
Hello? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ugh.
- Jackson.
- Tessa.
What are you doing here? We heard your distress call.
These are my friends, Abraham and DARIELA Kenyatta.
Guys, this is Tessa.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- We've heard a lot about you.
I assumed that you were staying behind in Portland.
They closed the camp.
We got word people needed an evac here.
I was doing a final sweep till my truck died.
That's your radiator hose.
We can plug it up and refill it.
We heard this place had been overrun by hybrids years ago.
The area, yes; The town, no.
The villagers say they haven't seen a hybrid in years.
No razorbacks? No razorbacks, no angry rhinos.
Nothing.
They claim there's a witch in town who's kept the hybrids away.
JACKSON: Okay, this witch.
Did she evacuate with the others? No, she's refusing to leave.
Well, then I think I'd like to talk to her.
I'd like to talk her into leaving.
And loop back with my team.
I don't think that's a good idea.
The volcano's unstable, it won't be long before this area is toast.
Look, if this woman really can keep the hybrids away, then maybe there's a way she can help us stop Abigail.
It's worth a chance.
Circle the plane, keep it out of the ash, I'll radio in ten minutes.
(exhales) Let's go find your witch.
I know that Leanne was The Falcon, the Shepherd you've been hunting.
But what, you you killed her? Here's the thing, she's been trying to kill me for years.
But until today, you didn't even know who she was.
Mansdale has access to the files that prove she was after me.
You have to get him here.
Mansdale.
He escaped hid in your Mustang, and the brain trust put the beacon in the Mustang, and the Mustang into the volcano.
Of course they did.
Okay, so we just have to get the files ourselves.
We can get them from Reiden Global as evidence in the investigation.
Jamie, this is stupid.
Come on, you need a, a real lawyer.
No, I need someone I can trust.
Someone who knows me.
(sighs) Hey, Clem, it's your dad.
Jackson tells me you're still in New York.
So am I.
And apparently I'm a lawyer now.
Long story.
Anyway, um I know you're an adult and everything, but if I don't hear from you soon, I'm gonna start picturing you tied up in the back of a van someplace, so give me a call, please.
Okay? You look well.
Small talk, really? That's your plan? Well, the last time I apologized, I got slapped in the face, so I wasn't sure how a second apology would go over.
Not well.
You explained yourself in Portland.
And to be honest, I get it.
I get why you lied and hid from the truth.
In a way, I was hiding, too.
From what? Ever since I was a little girl, all I dreamed about was being a mother.
I wanted a whole litter of babies.
I wanted to love them.
And hold them.
Help them grow up.
I know it sounds simple and old-fashioned, but it's what I was meant to be.
But when your father dropped the TX-gas, I knew my dream was over.
So I tried to forget it.
I moved to Portland, I tried to help people in other ways, but it wasn't enough.
Thinking about that family that I dreamed about, that I'll never get to have, it hurts every day.
I had a family once.
A wife and a son.
I was 19.
We were day-tripping to Nairobi, and we had been driving all day, and I was thirsty, so we stopped at a gas station.
And I remember taking too long inside, you know, I was trying to decide between coffee and tea.
And then I heard it.
It's like a bomb went off.
(exhales) A truck lost control, slammed into one of the pumps.
His name was Connor.
He was six months old.
Oh, Jackson, I you didn't tell me.
No one outside my family knew, Tessa.
Abe's the only one alive who knows.
Tried to forget, I tried to move on with my life, but you're right, it hurts every single day.
Now, Tessa, I know that if we can stop Abigail, I know that we can find a way to reverse the TX-gas.
I've come to terms that I can never bring my family back.
But I'm not gonna give up on yours.
I promise you that.
Sure Jackson and Tessa will be okay? Well, I think they needed some time alone.
And perhaps this witch really does know something about the hybrids or Abigail.
(phone ringing) ISAAC: Mom, is that you? Isaac, baby? We're here.
What? Oh, my God.
- Isaac.
Isaac, are you okay? - Mr.
and Mrs.
Kenyatta, Reiden thanks you for your patience during this trying time.
Isaac and the other children have been integral to our efforts to solve the TX-sterility.
Isaac, we're coming to get you soon, okay? Now, I'd like to assure you that despite recent changes to our management, all children under Reiden's charge remain safe and well cared for.
And we're happy to report that all children, including Isaac, will be returned safely to their families next week.
We want to talk to our son.
Of course.
Tell your parents how much fun you're having, Isaac.
We get to play and hear the radio and do flash cards.
Oh, and we get candy for breakfast.
- TAD: Like I said, they'll be home soon.
- Candy for breakfast? And I'm afraid that's all the time we have, but you'll have plenty of time - to catch up next week.
- No.
No.
Wait, wait, a No, wait, wait! Why? Why let us see him at all if they're just gonna yank him away? No.
Reiden knows they can hold onto the children for only so long.
Do you think we'll get him back next week? Honestly, no.
This must be the place.
There's got to be a scientific explanation for this, right? The trees may be creating a windbreak, keeping the ash away.
Or, flip side, this woman really is a witch.
Isn't that? Abigail's symbol? She's asking if you're Mr.
Duncan.
Do you know who that is? No.
But there's only one way to find out.
Sí Señor Duncan.
Que Buena.
You're wasting your time.
She confessed.
It's case closed.
She told me it was self-defense.
And you believe her? I know Jamie.
I know when she's lying.
No, you knew Jamie.
Ten years ago.
She's changed.
And the things that I've seen her do You remember a Shepherd named Mansdale, right? She murdered him two years ago.
All in pursuit of this Shepherd crusade - she's been on.
- Nope.
Mansdale's been chained up in the bottom of the plane.
She's been hanging on to him for information.
Now, although that's not pretty, it's not murder.
You're telling me Mansdale's on the plane right now? I'm telling you she didn't kill him.
Now, if you knew her as well as you thought you did, or if you were a better cop, you'd have figured that out for yourself.
(beeping) What are you doing? One of us is right and one of us is wrong.
Figure it out faster if we work together.
I don't need your help.
I'm a scientist, for God's sake.
You're a vet.
(breathing heavily) So, you and Jamie you're just going to pick up where you left off, huh? Like nothing happened? I was in a tank for ten years.
Nothing did happen.
I happened.
Come on, you two played house for a couple of years until Jamie got bored.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
None at all.
What is this? I don't know, it looks like it's encrypted.
Yeah, but that's illegal in a murder investigation.
So, how do we unencrypt it? Looks like SDE.
That's Single Device Encryption.
Can only be viewed by one specific device, probably Leanne's tablet.
Well, we have her tablet here in evidence.
Yeah, but it's bio-protected.
It won't unlock without her fingerprint.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we have Leanne's finger, and its print, on the premises? That's not the way things work.
I need a court order for this.
Well, how bad do you want the truth, Detective? Abe, where are you going? Clementine's room.
Abe? Look, Leanne said Clementine stole something from Reiden.
That's why they wanted her.
If we can find it, then maybe Reiden will talk to us again.
We can't trust Reiden, there's no guarantee that they'll give us Isaac back.
No, but maybe it will help tip the scales to our advantage.
We have to find what Clementine stole from them.
She's taking us to see someone named Abendegos who's been waiting for Mr.
Duncan.
Wild guess you don't know who that is, either.
No.
We just assumed that Abigail was working alone, but it makes sense that she wasn't.
Yeah, well, let's just hope that this Abendegos and Mr.
Duncan have never met, or we might be one step closer to dead.
Hey, hey! (speaking Spanish) Señor Duncan? We need to leave the guns on the table.
(door creaking) (snoring) (screeching) (chains rattling) (screeching) (yelping) (growling): Jackson Jackson.
(howling and growling in distance) (breathing heavily) (groans) (howling and growling in distance) (growls) Sorry, did that thing just say your name? No, no, that's impossible.
(growling): Jackson.
Okay.
Maybe not impossible.
So, Abendegos is a hybrid who can talk.
Remind me never to go anywhere with you again.
We need to tighten its restraints.
You have a necklace or a bracelet or something? - What? No, why? - Because it looks part baboon.
Baboons are driven by curiosity.
I need something shiny.
Okay.
Hey! (growling) No, your clicker, you need that to control your lions.
Jack! I guess we can kiss any animal assistance good-bye.
(screeching) You couldn't have thrown a stick or something? I was improvising.
(screeching) We don't even know what we're looking for.
Well, whatever it is, Reiden wants it very badly.
Hopefully, we'll know it when we see it.
What are those? Perhaps Clementine was sick again with her Glazier's disease.
Iron, vitamin D folic acid.
- No, it can't be.
- What? Do you remember when we went to Africa? After the TX-gas dropped? I-I couldn't find prenatal vitamins.
So, you got 12 bottles and made your own cocktail.
I bought these exact supplements.
What are you trying to say? This is impossible.
She can't be pregnant.
DARIELA: There's blood on her shirt, from when she was shot.
How quickly can you test this? (beeping) (beeping stops) How long is his break? 20 minutes.
(sniffs) Formaldehyde.
Smells like home.
That's disgusting.
What's disgusting is you arresting Jamie because your badge and gun didn't woo her back to you.
Oh, my God, enough.
You want to know the truth? Everything with Clem and the hybrids, Jamie just changed.
She got angry at the world.
I tried to help her, like she helped me, but I couldn't, so I left.
You're telling me you left her, - not the other way around? - Yeah.
I thought it'd be a wake-up call, but it just sped up her descent.
Now every Shepherd whose life she destroys, I feel responsible.
All right, here's Leanne.
Nothing's happening.
It's too cold.
It's not reading.
Now warm it up.
(beeps) Works every time.
I don't know, there's something wrong.
This should be the device that decrypts the file.
Nancy Drew.
That a normal thing these days? No.
Wait, Mitch, Mitch.
Could be the device we're looking for.
Yeah, looks like some kind of bioprocessor.
Okay.
So, did you want to Oh, hey, I just had her finger in my mouth.
This one's all you, pal.
Great.
Thank you.
I can read it.
But - What? - But it's not about Jamie.
It's a record of Reiden buying out some pharmaceutical company.
The Melvatox Corporation.
Apparently, Reiden acquired 100% of their product stock.
I can't believe it.
How did this happen? Clem wasn't a criminal.
She was pregnant and somehow Reiden knew.
They were using us.
We need to find Clementine immediately.
She must be protected.
It's too late.
DARIELA? What have you done? (loud banging) (Abendegos growling) JACKSON: We need to study this creature.
TESSA: No way we're getting it outside.
No, I know.
We're gonna tow this whole thing back to the plane.
What about the gruesome twosome? Something tells me they're not gonna be okay with that.
We won't ask them.
(Abendegos roars) I don't know where they took her.
I've been trying to find them ever since we heard about Leanne.
Get out of my lab.
- I can fix this.
- Get out.
- I can find her, Abe.
- Get out! (Abendegos roaring) (Abendegos howls, screeches) (gunshots) I think they figured out you're not Mr.
Duncan.
This Melvatox Corporation was started three years ago as a pharmaceutical company.
They only had one product, a migraine drug called Melvatox-B, before going bankrupt.
Apparently the drug had severe cognitive side effects.
Leanne was able to purchase them for pennies on the dollar.
I'm guessing she wiped the rest of the records.
That's all that we could find.
JAMIE: So, it was the contact lens that decrypted it, not the tablet.
Yes, which is all very fascinating to someone, I'm sure, but none of it proves you acted in self-defense.
It's because I didn't kill Leanne in self-defense.
I didn't kill her at all.
She was dead when I found her.
Then why the hell did you confess? For this file.
I'd found out that The Falcon was protecting the file and she had the only device that could read it.
Freeze.
Drop your weapon.
JAMIE: With Leanne dead, I knew that the only way to get access to that file was to confess to her murder.
If it was requested with the discovery powers granted in a murder investigation, Reiden would be legally forced to release it.
I did it.
I killed her.
I needed a cop to arrest me and a lawyer to request the file.
I knew you both would be so desperate to prove you were right that you'd do whatever it took to find the device.
So, you were lying - the entire time.
- To both of us.
If I had told you I was innocent, you both would be so busy looking for the real killer that we'd have missed our chance.
(phone ringing and vibrating) MITCH: DARIELA.
This is not over.
(door closes) So you didn't kill Mansdale or Leanne? I've never killed a Shepherd.
They take lives, futures.
I can't cross that line.
So, if Reiden and the Shepherds were after this Melvatox-B, what is it? I don't know.
But they will kill to keep it secret.
We need to find out what they're doing with it and stop them.
Good morning.
Here's your candy.
Enjoy it.
- Good morning, Isaac.
- Good morning.
- How are you? - Good.
Great.
There you are.
Good morning.
Enjoy the candy.
DARIELA? What's wrong? What's going on? It's Clem.
We don't have much time.
You're the only one who can save her.
Save her? What-what are you talking about? I'm sorry.
I don't, I don't know how to tell you this, but we ran some tests on Clem's blood and she's pregnant.
And somehow Reiden found out about it and-and she's been abducted, kidnapped.
But I found her and you have to go to her now.
Listen, I can explain, okay? Abigail is my sister.
- - - I think I can talk them down.
- Tessa, just don't No! (mountain lion roars) (snarling) (mountain lions growling) What's happening? Is this because that thing smashed your clicker? I don't think so.
Home.
I traced where the mercs took Clem and I told Mitch.
Let's pray he gets to her in time.
Abe.
I know what I did was wrong but I did it for Isaac.
You can't stand there, pretending you didn't consider turning Clem in yourself.
I spared you the guilt of that decision.
And I can live with that but I can't be in a marriage where my husband despises me.
When this is over and Isaac is safe I think we should get a divorce.
(crying): That that was your chance to disagree.
I separated some of the child's DNA from Clementine's blood sample.
This child is not just a miracle.
It is our salvation.
It shares the same hormone as the new hybrids.
It is the missing piece to solving the TX-sterility.
Clementine and her child must survive because if they die, all of mankind dies with them.
MAN (over speaker): Wake her up.
WOMAN: Okay, sweetie.
You're okay.
There's someone you should see.
Oh, my God, is that It's a boy.
He's beautiful.
Tell The Gentlemen that bidding will begin at $80 million.
