Zoo (2015) s03e06 Episode Script
Oz Is Oz
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 âhybridsâ 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 Dad? Mitch.
MITCH: I'm sorry, he's dead.
She's taking us to see someone named Abendegos, who's been waiting for Mr.
Duncan.
[roaring.]
Abigail! NYPD! Freeze! I can get Isaac back.
You want Isaac, you bring me Clementine Lewis.
- Deal is on.
- Perfect.
By day's end, you'll be holding your son again.
We ran some tests on Clem's blood she's pregnant.
Reiden found out about it, and she's been abducted.
I didn't kill Leanne.
She was dead when I found her.
- It's a boy.
- Tell The Gentlemen that bidding will begin at $80 million.
[razorbacks snarling.]
ABIGAIL [weakly.]
: Jackson Jackson He chose Jackson.
Thank you.
Oh Oh, she's alive.
Barely.
Make sure to bring the razorbacks inside.
MAN: Yes, ma'am.
The bidding will begin at $80 million.
AUCTIONEER: We have confirmation she is carrying a viable male fetus.
$80 million to the gentleman from the Russian Federation.
Do I have anyone with 90? Very good.
90 to the gentleman from the United Arab Emirates.
Who do I have at 100? A more-than-fair price for the first pregnant woman in a decade.
[grunts, gags.]
[animals snorting, growling.]
[man speaks foreign language.]
TESSA: Jackson, if that clicker didn't do this, does that mean you summoned these animals with your mind? Sorta.
- Jackson! - You really want to play 20 Questions right now? No! [shouting.]
[gunfire.]
What are you doing back here? Hey, uh, yeah, sorry.
I'm late.
They made me park in the garage.
No valet can you believe that? Anyway [lock beeps.]
Dad? - Hey.
- [door rattling.]
Hey.
[gunfire.]
Okay, look, we can't leave here without the hybrid, okay? We got to get to the truck, hook it to the trailer, - and get the hell out of here.
- Okay, on the count of three, - make a run for it.
- Perfect.
- Three! - Tessa! [roaring, growling.]
[gunfire.]
I am under the distinct impression that this is not - a normal hospital.
- [loud banging.]
Remain calm, everything is under control.
Earmuffs.
What? [screaming.]
Um come on.
[gunfire.]
[engine starts.]
[gunfire.]
Back up, back up, back up, back up, back up.
Back up, back up! That's good.
[gunfire.]
[growling.]
[screaming.]
- Did you do that? - No.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Come on, let's go.
[gunfire.]
[gunfire continues.]
That went well.
So you're pregnant, huh? That's cool.
This is so not how I wanted you to find out.
[lock beeps.]
Freeze! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't hurt her! Drop your weapon.
Clem Let us go, or I kill humanity's last hope.
Put your guns down.
Guns down now! Okay.
Guess we'll be going now.
AUCTIONEER: Word is out.
It doesn't matter where you go, you won't be able to protect her.
[cries out.]
Well, he's right about one thing You are now the most important person in the world.
Let's go find out why.
LOGAN: You know, most people, they just worry about running into their ex at the grocery store, not arresting them for murder.
I told you, I didn't kill Leanne.
And, against my better judgment, I'm starting to believe you.
But you've been arrested.
There's no take-backs.
That is an ocular-chip lens.
It has a whole lot more on it than decryption power.
Leanne was wearing it when she was murdered.
It will tell us who killed her.
It'd be a little easier without these.
MAN: Take her down to 2.
We need to assemble a team.
Everything's on hold until we can get you well.
You're not listening to me.
I want Jackson Oz.
This is not some personal vendetta.
He's not part of the plan.
He's part of mine.
Quick, get her to the stasis tank.
MAN: Yes, sir.
FEMALE NEWSCASTER: We're less than 48 hours from the launch of the TX-gas, which the Noah Objective promises will safely eliminate the mutated animals.
Don't believe everything you hear on the news.
TAD: Abigail.
Something you need to see.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Blue Diaspora.
You can't work on this out in the open.
I can do what I like.
The council forbade you from continuing your father's work.
Hybrids are too dangerous.
The animals are still susceptible to the Mother Cell.
The mutation will rise again, stronger and immune to any cure humankind can come up with.
Mass extinction of the entire animal kingdom is sure to follow.
Well, your father's not gonna approve.
Well, he's not here.
Actually he is.
Arrived an hour ago.
Who's that next to your father? My brother.
The useless, drunken safari-guide brother? What's he doing here? I have no idea.
He's chained, shouldn't be able to get free.
[growling.]
How does this thing fit in your sister's plan? "Plan.
" She has a plan beyond just unleashing pain and terror? The people holding him were waiting for a Mr.
Duncan.
We think he might be Abigail's partner in this, somehow.
[growling stops.]
What happened? [shouting.]
So definitely not chained anymore.
I need to study this Abendegos.
Do you have any tranquilizers on board? Like, dinosaur tranquilizers? Oh, yeah.
I'll go prepare a sedative.
[growling continues.]
Why didn't you tell me? You have a lot going on.
Clem, you're the only pregnant woman in the entire world.
And you have a bio-drive surgically implanted in your brain.
We all have our issues.
It's got to have something to do to your background.
Your Glazier's disease and the ghost gene maybe had a contraindication with the cure serum.
Maybe, uh, negated the effects of the TX-gas.
Okay.
I need you to stop acting like a scientist and start acting like a grandfather.
Oh, hey, nope.
You don't get to use that word ever again.
You can't deny it.
This is happening.
Yeah.
I'm trying to figure out why.
So we can come up with patriarchal nicknames later.
Like way later.
We've got a long road ahead of us.
The team is heading back to pick us up.
We need to dissolve this into a solution and then we should be ready to sedate your friend Abendegos.
Great.
Abe, how are you holding up with Isaac and everything? Not well.
But I've gotten good at distracting myself.
Keeping myself busy.
You know, before they took Isaac away, I was working on a synthetic reproductive hormone, based on the NLRP2 protein and stem cells harvested from animal cerebrospinal fluid.
Animal stem cells.
That makes sense, they weren't affected by the TX-gas.
Exactly, but none of the animal samples I tested yielded any positive results.
But these hybrids are different.
They display a hypergrowth property.
I believe their stem cells could be the key.
So, Clem and her being pregnant, how does that factor into all of this? The child has a unique protein.
[chuckles.]
Unlike anything I've ever seen.
It displays even greater potential than the NLRP2 protein at synthesizing the reproductive hormone that we need.
I'm going to call it the CLM-protein.
After Clementine.
[chuckles.]
All right, so Clem's baby, plus hybrid stem cells, could solve the sterility problem? That's the idea, at least.
[growling.]
We just need a cerebrospinal fluid sample from Abendegos to prove it.
How hard could that be? Well, here we go.
[sizzling.]
What is that? A security measure.
Oh, okay.
Got it.
Well, let's see who killed Leanne Ducovny.
So, how do you do it? Control the animals.
The lions in Portland, that Noah's Ark back there? My father.
He did genetic experiments on me when I was a kid.
And I think the gas that sterilized people activated something in me.
You must hate him.
Yeah.
And no.
Part of me thinks that he couldn't help it.
Between him and my sister, I'm beginning to think that there's something tainted in the Oz bloodline.
Like, we're cursed.
Jackson, you can't really believe that.
ABRAHAM [over intercom.]
: Jackson.
We're ready in the vehicle bay.
When we land, I think that you should get as far away from me as possible.
Hope you boys cooked up a good plan.
If we don't put this guy down ASAP, it's gonna give turbulence a whole new meaning.
Remember.
Straight to the heart.
Straight to the what? How are you gonna get close enough to stab it in the heart? I'm gonna give him what he wants.
Me.
[growling.]
Be careful, rafiki.
Don't shoot unless I say so.
Ready.
[growling.]
Don't shoot.
[roars.]
[all screaming.]
[Jackson grunts.]
Little help here?! [chuckles.]
[sighs.]
[Abraham exhales.]
Okay, Leanne's in her office.
Let's find out who killed her.
If this turns out to be you, I'm gonna be very disappointed.
[door opens.]
[door closes.]
It's over, Leanne.
LEANNE: Robert would roll over in his grave if he knew what you'd become.
My father made me what I am.
LEANNE: You're never gonna get away with this.
I already have.
We have the Melvatox-B.
We don't need you anymore.
Abigail.
They were connected? How did I miss that? You notice how Abigail said "we" in the recording? "We have the Melvatox-B.
" Yeah.
She must be working with a partner.
We need to find Abigail.
Or her partner.
Well, it would be easier if one of us weren't in police custody.
I'll talk to the captain, tell him we have a new suspect.
Abigail Westbrook.
There's only so much the tank can do.
A lot is up to her.
She'll survive.
Her work isn't finished yet.
ROBERT: Hi, angel.
Dad, you're back.
Hi.
What happened to your face? Oh, it's just an accident.
So, I finished with General Davies and the TX-gas.
We're ready to launch.
That's great.
Um, I saw that you brought Jackson and the rest of his team here.
Why? Wasn't part of the plan.
I know.
Here's the thing about Jackson.
He's a useless piece of flesh who's squandering the Oz name? Or, sorry, is it "dishonors the Oz name"? Jackson's grown up a lot in the last year.
Okay, so what, you suddenly trust him? Are you gonna tell him the plan? Is that why you brought him home? I brought him home because he's sick.
Very sick.
But Dr.
Morgan has found a way to cure Jackson and the animals.
So Mitch Morgan is as brilliant as we believed.
Yeah, and then some.
He might even be a match for you.
Do you think he could crack Blue Diaspora? Why are you asking about Blue Diaspora? [grumbles.]
You were told not to do this.
Problem with the hybrids is they were uncontrollable.
Like feral animals.
But I fixed it.
You used human DNA.
Your DNA? Abigail.
I thought you'd be happy.
This was your project.
And I fixed it for you.
We invested everything in formulating the TX-gas and reversing the animal mutation.
But that is only a temporary solve.
This is the real solve.
I'm calling him Abendegos.
[coos.]
Really is something.
I have to get back to Jackson.
We'll talk about this more later.
Do you want my help? He's my brother, after all.
Maybe I should finally meet him.
No, I have all the help I need with Dr.
Morgan.
I'll be back.
I promise.
[cooing.]
NEWSWOMAN: Abigail Westbrook, the most wanted woman in the United States, remains at large.
The authorities warn, do I just spoke to Jackson, told him about his baby sister's latest homicide and the Melvatox-B.
Jackson has a lead on someone who might be Abigail's partner, somebody named Mr.
Duncan.
Charles Duncan? Maybe.
Who's that? He's a ghost.
He's public enemy number one for the Shepherd hunters.
There are rumors that he's a bomb maker or a scientist, but nobody knows where he is or even what he looks like.
So, do you think this Mr.
Duncan could be the "w" Abigail was referring to? The one who helped with the Melvatox-B? There's one way to find out.
Yahtzee.
Charles Duncan.
He supervised the transfer of assets when Reiden bought Melvatox.
Took possession of 50,000 units of Melvatox-B.
50,000? You're not gonna carry that out the front door.
Is there an address there? 44 East 138th.
Loading dock that exits onto Park.
Traffic cam at the end of the alley.
JAMIE: The transfer of assets form is dated November 7, 3:14 p.
m.
I have something.
JAMIE: It's too dark.
I can't see his face.
I have a program that will clear it.
- Well, how long will it take? - It's hard to say, but if he's the ghost that you describe, it'll be worth the wait.
All right, Mr.
Duncan, you've been the center of all this suffering.
Let's see who you really are.
Jamie and Logan found out who killed Leanne.
It was Abigail.
What? How is your sister connected to the CEO of Reiden? It's starting to seem like she's connected to everything.
Come quick.
It's the kids.
They're raiding the kids' facilities.
No one was responding from Reiden, so they're going in by force.
NEWSWOMAN: Despite the government's initial cooperation with Reiden, the lack of transparency from the Reiden officials and the recent death of its CEO have led to today's forced entry of the Reiden Children's Holding Facility.
Charlie, you take 3.
Clear.
Let's go.
No children inside.
Breach.
Nothing.
Where are they? Room clear.
NEWSWOMAN: So far, there has been no sign of the children.
We are receiving word now that the children are not, I repeat, not in the facility.
No, no, no.
It's got to be a mistake.
The question now is: where have the children gone? I promise we are gonna figure this out, okay? When-when we get back on the plane, I'm gonna run every test in the book.
Tests? Tests, that's the last thing that I want.
Yeah, that's kind of how science works, Clem.
Thank you, Professor.
I am aware.
I spent 90% of my life under a microscope.
Well, those microscopes saved your life.
It was awful.
And painful.
And it made me feel like I wasn't even a person.
My baby will have a normal life.
You and I both know that's not possible.
Your baby is gonna be the opposite of normal because it's the most important thing that has happened in a long, long time.
And I understand you want to protect your kid.
And I want to protect mine.
Clem, you and this baby are all that I have.
A parent has one job in life.
Let me do mine.
Did you get any information? No, I called my contacts in the army and Marines.
No one knows a thing.
I've been on hold with the State Department for 20 minutes.
Hundreds of kids don't just disappear.
Someone saw something.
We may have found something.
When Logan called, he said right before Abigail killed Leanne, she mentioned a certain drug called Melvatox-B.
When Isaac called, he said that they were giving him candy for breakfast.
What if the Melvatox-B is-is what Reiden is giving the kids? That's exactly what we were thinking.
And it turns out that Melvatox-B has a very specific radioactive signature.
How could the government sign off on a plan to kidnap kids and feed them poison? In low doses it's perfectly safe.
We don't think they're trying to poison the kids.
But we do think that they gave us a way to find them.
See, we're talking about thousands of kids with thousands of doses.
That would produce a very significant radioactive footprint.
TESSA: Highways have scanners that send out alerts if there's radiation.
Which cops have access to.
We need to call Logan.
Follow the pills, find the kids.
TAD: She needs to pull through.
This plan does not work without her.
[indistinct conversation.]
ROBERT: transfusion, but I just need to speak to you in private.
MITCH: Okay.
What can I do for you? ROBERT: I know we both double-checked the protocol, ensured the viability of the genomic fossils.
But I need you to level with me.
Is Jackson gonna survive this procedure? Are we speaking as scientists? Or as parents? I understand.
I feared as much.
Look, you know I will do whatever I can.
What are you doing here? Jackson's gonna die, isn't he? If you can't cure him and he can't cure the animals, what are you going to do? Blue Diaspora.
We move on to your plan, to the hybrids.
Really? Really.
But we don't have much time.
Go collect all of your research.
I'll be there soon.
I just, I need to say good-bye.
I love you, Abigail.
I love you, too, Dad.
Hey.
You know, if you asked me to stay, I'd consider it.
That's tempting, but I can't.
My only living relative wants to kill me, so the safest place for you is not here.
Look, your sister and your father, they're not your family.
They might be your blood relatives, but family is who defines who you are.
Abraham, Dariela, the rest of your team, that's your family.
I am so sorry that I hurt you.
You are the last person that I ever wanted to cause any pain.
You saved me.
When I turned my back on this life and became Dylan, I never thought I'd find my way back.
You did that for me.
How do you thank the person that gave you your life back? You go save the world, genius.
You proud of yourself? CLEMENTINE: Dad, it's over.
I'm fine.
- I'm sorry.
- You had her kidnapped.
- I'm so sorry.
- You had her kidnapped! How does that even compute as right to you?! It's not.
A parent has one job in this world, right? She was just doing hers.
[sighs.]
[sniffles.]
I kept telling myself that I did what any mother would do.
I just wanted my son back.
I'm so sorry, Clem.
A few months ago, I would've punched you in the mouth and never talked to you again.
But now that I'm about to become a mother, I would've done the same thing.
[Abendegos snorting.]
[snarls, growls.]
What happened? When Logan and I got back, we found you passed out in the vehicle bay, next to the new hybrid.
What were you doing in there? [grunts.]
Where's Clem? She's with Abe.
He's going to examine her and the baby.
Okay.
- I should be there.
- No.
You should rest.
I'm worried that that bio-drive in your head is what made you pass out.
Bio-drive or not, I got to figure out what's going on with my daughter.
Well, you can do it from here.
There's years of science for you to catch up on.
What's this? It's a surveillance photo of Mr.
Duncan, Abigail's partner.
He's dangerous.
A monster.
If I find him, I'm going to take him down.
That image is almost cleaned up, so do your research and let me know when the program's done with the image.
Oh, and, um rest up, Grandpa.
That is so not cool.
Well, the baby is healthy.
If it wasn't the only baby on the planet, I would say it was a textbook pregnancy.
What about the CLM-protein? And the stem cells from Abendegos' spinal fluid? As long as Clem's baby continues to develop normally, we should have enough CLM-protein to make our synthetic reproductive hormone.
But? But I did find something unexpected when comparing the genetic samples from the new hybrids.
[computer trills.]
Those shared markers prove that the woolly rhinoceros, winged hybrid, and Abendegos are related.
JACKSON: Related? What if Abigail created the new hybrids using common DNA as a starting point? And what that means for us and ending sterility is that Abendegos' spinal fluid only has part of what we need.
We need the stem cells from all the hybrids that share the genetic marker.
How many are there? Given the three samples I've seen, and their genetic variation, my best guess is that there are six breeds altogether.
There are six new hybrids, and we need spinal fluid from each of them.
How will we find them? I don't know.
But if we want to stop this reproductive problem, we need to find a way.
[footsteps approaching.]
I think we've found the kids.
Yeah, radiation signatures are high upstate, so the kids should be there, and the Melvatox pills.
Let's go get our son back.
Good news.
She's turned a corner.
We should be able to pull her out soon.
Good.
Good job.
[papers rustling.]
[door opens.]
What are you doing? I hate to do this, but, uh, I have orders to keep you here.
Orders from who? Your father.
Well, is he on his way? No.
No, he has to stay with Jackson.
It's the only way for the plan to succeed, cure the animals.
Um Jackson is dying.
Not anymore.
I got one for you: what did the, uh, aardvark say to the taxi driver? Dad? Dad? Mitch.
Mitch! [softly.]
: Dad no.
No.
No.
Abigail No.
Get out of my way.
Get out of my way! - Robert wants it this way! - I don't care what he wants.
That's my father out there! Let go of me! - Let go of me! - Back off.
- Back off.
- That is my father.
That is my father! That is my father! He's doing this for us.
No, he is not! He's doing this for Jackson! He chose Jackson.
He chose Jackson.
Jackson.
Jackson.
- Jackson.
- [weakly.]
: Jackson.
[groaning weakly.]
TECHNICIAN: Vitals are good.
TECHNICIAN 2: Blood pressure's stable.
110/80.
Hemoglobin levels are at seven grams.
O2, 98%.
TECHNICIAN 3: Team two, get ready to disconnect the generator and prep for extraction.
TECHNICIAN 1: Everyone move into place to remove Ms.
Westbrook from the tank.
Wha Abigail! Abigail.
I've been looking for you.
Everyone else evacuated.
We got to get out of here.
Abigail, we got to go.
Oh, you did it.
You made another hybrid.
I told you, Blue Diaspora is the only way forward.
- We need to make sure it succeeds.
- We? - I don't know anything about it.
- Not you.
I have a chopper hiding in Bay 12.
Go get it ready.
We'll be right there.
Where are you going? There's someone else we need.
[barking, snarling.]
No! Don't! Get away from him! Okay, Dr.
Morgan, I'm gonna get you out of here.
We've got a lot of work to do.
TECHNICIAN: Results from the EEG are showing normal levels of brain activity.
He's going to be in here a long time.
[alarm droning.]
MAN: All right, extraction.
WOMAN: We're ready.
MAN: On it.
[mechanical whirring.]
[Abigail gasps.]
[coughs, gasping.]
I'm fine.
Is everything in place? Almost.
Abendegos is gone.
Your brother has him.
Well, then it's a good thing Mr.
Duncan is with my brother.
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 âhybridsâ 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 Dad? Mitch.
MITCH: I'm sorry, he's dead.
She's taking us to see someone named Abendegos, who's been waiting for Mr.
Duncan.
[roaring.]
Abigail! NYPD! Freeze! I can get Isaac back.
You want Isaac, you bring me Clementine Lewis.
- Deal is on.
- Perfect.
By day's end, you'll be holding your son again.
We ran some tests on Clem's blood she's pregnant.
Reiden found out about it, and she's been abducted.
I didn't kill Leanne.
She was dead when I found her.
- It's a boy.
- Tell The Gentlemen that bidding will begin at $80 million.
[razorbacks snarling.]
ABIGAIL [weakly.]
: Jackson Jackson He chose Jackson.
Thank you.
Oh Oh, she's alive.
Barely.
Make sure to bring the razorbacks inside.
MAN: Yes, ma'am.
The bidding will begin at $80 million.
AUCTIONEER: We have confirmation she is carrying a viable male fetus.
$80 million to the gentleman from the Russian Federation.
Do I have anyone with 90? Very good.
90 to the gentleman from the United Arab Emirates.
Who do I have at 100? A more-than-fair price for the first pregnant woman in a decade.
[grunts, gags.]
[animals snorting, growling.]
[man speaks foreign language.]
TESSA: Jackson, if that clicker didn't do this, does that mean you summoned these animals with your mind? Sorta.
- Jackson! - You really want to play 20 Questions right now? No! [shouting.]
[gunfire.]
What are you doing back here? Hey, uh, yeah, sorry.
I'm late.
They made me park in the garage.
No valet can you believe that? Anyway [lock beeps.]
Dad? - Hey.
- [door rattling.]
Hey.
[gunfire.]
Okay, look, we can't leave here without the hybrid, okay? We got to get to the truck, hook it to the trailer, - and get the hell out of here.
- Okay, on the count of three, - make a run for it.
- Perfect.
- Three! - Tessa! [roaring, growling.]
[gunfire.]
I am under the distinct impression that this is not - a normal hospital.
- [loud banging.]
Remain calm, everything is under control.
Earmuffs.
What? [screaming.]
Um come on.
[gunfire.]
[engine starts.]
[gunfire.]
Back up, back up, back up, back up, back up.
Back up, back up! That's good.
[gunfire.]
[growling.]
[screaming.]
- Did you do that? - No.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Come on, let's go.
[gunfire.]
[gunfire continues.]
That went well.
So you're pregnant, huh? That's cool.
This is so not how I wanted you to find out.
[lock beeps.]
Freeze! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't hurt her! Drop your weapon.
Clem Let us go, or I kill humanity's last hope.
Put your guns down.
Guns down now! Okay.
Guess we'll be going now.
AUCTIONEER: Word is out.
It doesn't matter where you go, you won't be able to protect her.
[cries out.]
Well, he's right about one thing You are now the most important person in the world.
Let's go find out why.
LOGAN: You know, most people, they just worry about running into their ex at the grocery store, not arresting them for murder.
I told you, I didn't kill Leanne.
And, against my better judgment, I'm starting to believe you.
But you've been arrested.
There's no take-backs.
That is an ocular-chip lens.
It has a whole lot more on it than decryption power.
Leanne was wearing it when she was murdered.
It will tell us who killed her.
It'd be a little easier without these.
MAN: Take her down to 2.
We need to assemble a team.
Everything's on hold until we can get you well.
You're not listening to me.
I want Jackson Oz.
This is not some personal vendetta.
He's not part of the plan.
He's part of mine.
Quick, get her to the stasis tank.
MAN: Yes, sir.
FEMALE NEWSCASTER: We're less than 48 hours from the launch of the TX-gas, which the Noah Objective promises will safely eliminate the mutated animals.
Don't believe everything you hear on the news.
TAD: Abigail.
Something you need to see.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Blue Diaspora.
You can't work on this out in the open.
I can do what I like.
The council forbade you from continuing your father's work.
Hybrids are too dangerous.
The animals are still susceptible to the Mother Cell.
The mutation will rise again, stronger and immune to any cure humankind can come up with.
Mass extinction of the entire animal kingdom is sure to follow.
Well, your father's not gonna approve.
Well, he's not here.
Actually he is.
Arrived an hour ago.
Who's that next to your father? My brother.
The useless, drunken safari-guide brother? What's he doing here? I have no idea.
He's chained, shouldn't be able to get free.
[growling.]
How does this thing fit in your sister's plan? "Plan.
" She has a plan beyond just unleashing pain and terror? The people holding him were waiting for a Mr.
Duncan.
We think he might be Abigail's partner in this, somehow.
[growling stops.]
What happened? [shouting.]
So definitely not chained anymore.
I need to study this Abendegos.
Do you have any tranquilizers on board? Like, dinosaur tranquilizers? Oh, yeah.
I'll go prepare a sedative.
[growling continues.]
Why didn't you tell me? You have a lot going on.
Clem, you're the only pregnant woman in the entire world.
And you have a bio-drive surgically implanted in your brain.
We all have our issues.
It's got to have something to do to your background.
Your Glazier's disease and the ghost gene maybe had a contraindication with the cure serum.
Maybe, uh, negated the effects of the TX-gas.
Okay.
I need you to stop acting like a scientist and start acting like a grandfather.
Oh, hey, nope.
You don't get to use that word ever again.
You can't deny it.
This is happening.
Yeah.
I'm trying to figure out why.
So we can come up with patriarchal nicknames later.
Like way later.
We've got a long road ahead of us.
The team is heading back to pick us up.
We need to dissolve this into a solution and then we should be ready to sedate your friend Abendegos.
Great.
Abe, how are you holding up with Isaac and everything? Not well.
But I've gotten good at distracting myself.
Keeping myself busy.
You know, before they took Isaac away, I was working on a synthetic reproductive hormone, based on the NLRP2 protein and stem cells harvested from animal cerebrospinal fluid.
Animal stem cells.
That makes sense, they weren't affected by the TX-gas.
Exactly, but none of the animal samples I tested yielded any positive results.
But these hybrids are different.
They display a hypergrowth property.
I believe their stem cells could be the key.
So, Clem and her being pregnant, how does that factor into all of this? The child has a unique protein.
[chuckles.]
Unlike anything I've ever seen.
It displays even greater potential than the NLRP2 protein at synthesizing the reproductive hormone that we need.
I'm going to call it the CLM-protein.
After Clementine.
[chuckles.]
All right, so Clem's baby, plus hybrid stem cells, could solve the sterility problem? That's the idea, at least.
[growling.]
We just need a cerebrospinal fluid sample from Abendegos to prove it.
How hard could that be? Well, here we go.
[sizzling.]
What is that? A security measure.
Oh, okay.
Got it.
Well, let's see who killed Leanne Ducovny.
So, how do you do it? Control the animals.
The lions in Portland, that Noah's Ark back there? My father.
He did genetic experiments on me when I was a kid.
And I think the gas that sterilized people activated something in me.
You must hate him.
Yeah.
And no.
Part of me thinks that he couldn't help it.
Between him and my sister, I'm beginning to think that there's something tainted in the Oz bloodline.
Like, we're cursed.
Jackson, you can't really believe that.
ABRAHAM [over intercom.]
: Jackson.
We're ready in the vehicle bay.
When we land, I think that you should get as far away from me as possible.
Hope you boys cooked up a good plan.
If we don't put this guy down ASAP, it's gonna give turbulence a whole new meaning.
Remember.
Straight to the heart.
Straight to the what? How are you gonna get close enough to stab it in the heart? I'm gonna give him what he wants.
Me.
[growling.]
Be careful, rafiki.
Don't shoot unless I say so.
Ready.
[growling.]
Don't shoot.
[roars.]
[all screaming.]
[Jackson grunts.]
Little help here?! [chuckles.]
[sighs.]
[Abraham exhales.]
Okay, Leanne's in her office.
Let's find out who killed her.
If this turns out to be you, I'm gonna be very disappointed.
[door opens.]
[door closes.]
It's over, Leanne.
LEANNE: Robert would roll over in his grave if he knew what you'd become.
My father made me what I am.
LEANNE: You're never gonna get away with this.
I already have.
We have the Melvatox-B.
We don't need you anymore.
Abigail.
They were connected? How did I miss that? You notice how Abigail said "we" in the recording? "We have the Melvatox-B.
" Yeah.
She must be working with a partner.
We need to find Abigail.
Or her partner.
Well, it would be easier if one of us weren't in police custody.
I'll talk to the captain, tell him we have a new suspect.
Abigail Westbrook.
There's only so much the tank can do.
A lot is up to her.
She'll survive.
Her work isn't finished yet.
ROBERT: Hi, angel.
Dad, you're back.
Hi.
What happened to your face? Oh, it's just an accident.
So, I finished with General Davies and the TX-gas.
We're ready to launch.
That's great.
Um, I saw that you brought Jackson and the rest of his team here.
Why? Wasn't part of the plan.
I know.
Here's the thing about Jackson.
He's a useless piece of flesh who's squandering the Oz name? Or, sorry, is it "dishonors the Oz name"? Jackson's grown up a lot in the last year.
Okay, so what, you suddenly trust him? Are you gonna tell him the plan? Is that why you brought him home? I brought him home because he's sick.
Very sick.
But Dr.
Morgan has found a way to cure Jackson and the animals.
So Mitch Morgan is as brilliant as we believed.
Yeah, and then some.
He might even be a match for you.
Do you think he could crack Blue Diaspora? Why are you asking about Blue Diaspora? [grumbles.]
You were told not to do this.
Problem with the hybrids is they were uncontrollable.
Like feral animals.
But I fixed it.
You used human DNA.
Your DNA? Abigail.
I thought you'd be happy.
This was your project.
And I fixed it for you.
We invested everything in formulating the TX-gas and reversing the animal mutation.
But that is only a temporary solve.
This is the real solve.
I'm calling him Abendegos.
[coos.]
Really is something.
I have to get back to Jackson.
We'll talk about this more later.
Do you want my help? He's my brother, after all.
Maybe I should finally meet him.
No, I have all the help I need with Dr.
Morgan.
I'll be back.
I promise.
[cooing.]
NEWSWOMAN: Abigail Westbrook, the most wanted woman in the United States, remains at large.
The authorities warn, do I just spoke to Jackson, told him about his baby sister's latest homicide and the Melvatox-B.
Jackson has a lead on someone who might be Abigail's partner, somebody named Mr.
Duncan.
Charles Duncan? Maybe.
Who's that? He's a ghost.
He's public enemy number one for the Shepherd hunters.
There are rumors that he's a bomb maker or a scientist, but nobody knows where he is or even what he looks like.
So, do you think this Mr.
Duncan could be the "w" Abigail was referring to? The one who helped with the Melvatox-B? There's one way to find out.
Yahtzee.
Charles Duncan.
He supervised the transfer of assets when Reiden bought Melvatox.
Took possession of 50,000 units of Melvatox-B.
50,000? You're not gonna carry that out the front door.
Is there an address there? 44 East 138th.
Loading dock that exits onto Park.
Traffic cam at the end of the alley.
JAMIE: The transfer of assets form is dated November 7, 3:14 p.
m.
I have something.
JAMIE: It's too dark.
I can't see his face.
I have a program that will clear it.
- Well, how long will it take? - It's hard to say, but if he's the ghost that you describe, it'll be worth the wait.
All right, Mr.
Duncan, you've been the center of all this suffering.
Let's see who you really are.
Jamie and Logan found out who killed Leanne.
It was Abigail.
What? How is your sister connected to the CEO of Reiden? It's starting to seem like she's connected to everything.
Come quick.
It's the kids.
They're raiding the kids' facilities.
No one was responding from Reiden, so they're going in by force.
NEWSWOMAN: Despite the government's initial cooperation with Reiden, the lack of transparency from the Reiden officials and the recent death of its CEO have led to today's forced entry of the Reiden Children's Holding Facility.
Charlie, you take 3.
Clear.
Let's go.
No children inside.
Breach.
Nothing.
Where are they? Room clear.
NEWSWOMAN: So far, there has been no sign of the children.
We are receiving word now that the children are not, I repeat, not in the facility.
No, no, no.
It's got to be a mistake.
The question now is: where have the children gone? I promise we are gonna figure this out, okay? When-when we get back on the plane, I'm gonna run every test in the book.
Tests? Tests, that's the last thing that I want.
Yeah, that's kind of how science works, Clem.
Thank you, Professor.
I am aware.
I spent 90% of my life under a microscope.
Well, those microscopes saved your life.
It was awful.
And painful.
And it made me feel like I wasn't even a person.
My baby will have a normal life.
You and I both know that's not possible.
Your baby is gonna be the opposite of normal because it's the most important thing that has happened in a long, long time.
And I understand you want to protect your kid.
And I want to protect mine.
Clem, you and this baby are all that I have.
A parent has one job in life.
Let me do mine.
Did you get any information? No, I called my contacts in the army and Marines.
No one knows a thing.
I've been on hold with the State Department for 20 minutes.
Hundreds of kids don't just disappear.
Someone saw something.
We may have found something.
When Logan called, he said right before Abigail killed Leanne, she mentioned a certain drug called Melvatox-B.
When Isaac called, he said that they were giving him candy for breakfast.
What if the Melvatox-B is-is what Reiden is giving the kids? That's exactly what we were thinking.
And it turns out that Melvatox-B has a very specific radioactive signature.
How could the government sign off on a plan to kidnap kids and feed them poison? In low doses it's perfectly safe.
We don't think they're trying to poison the kids.
But we do think that they gave us a way to find them.
See, we're talking about thousands of kids with thousands of doses.
That would produce a very significant radioactive footprint.
TESSA: Highways have scanners that send out alerts if there's radiation.
Which cops have access to.
We need to call Logan.
Follow the pills, find the kids.
TAD: She needs to pull through.
This plan does not work without her.
[indistinct conversation.]
ROBERT: transfusion, but I just need to speak to you in private.
MITCH: Okay.
What can I do for you? ROBERT: I know we both double-checked the protocol, ensured the viability of the genomic fossils.
But I need you to level with me.
Is Jackson gonna survive this procedure? Are we speaking as scientists? Or as parents? I understand.
I feared as much.
Look, you know I will do whatever I can.
What are you doing here? Jackson's gonna die, isn't he? If you can't cure him and he can't cure the animals, what are you going to do? Blue Diaspora.
We move on to your plan, to the hybrids.
Really? Really.
But we don't have much time.
Go collect all of your research.
I'll be there soon.
I just, I need to say good-bye.
I love you, Abigail.
I love you, too, Dad.
Hey.
You know, if you asked me to stay, I'd consider it.
That's tempting, but I can't.
My only living relative wants to kill me, so the safest place for you is not here.
Look, your sister and your father, they're not your family.
They might be your blood relatives, but family is who defines who you are.
Abraham, Dariela, the rest of your team, that's your family.
I am so sorry that I hurt you.
You are the last person that I ever wanted to cause any pain.
You saved me.
When I turned my back on this life and became Dylan, I never thought I'd find my way back.
You did that for me.
How do you thank the person that gave you your life back? You go save the world, genius.
You proud of yourself? CLEMENTINE: Dad, it's over.
I'm fine.
- I'm sorry.
- You had her kidnapped.
- I'm so sorry.
- You had her kidnapped! How does that even compute as right to you?! It's not.
A parent has one job in this world, right? She was just doing hers.
[sighs.]
[sniffles.]
I kept telling myself that I did what any mother would do.
I just wanted my son back.
I'm so sorry, Clem.
A few months ago, I would've punched you in the mouth and never talked to you again.
But now that I'm about to become a mother, I would've done the same thing.
[Abendegos snorting.]
[snarls, growls.]
What happened? When Logan and I got back, we found you passed out in the vehicle bay, next to the new hybrid.
What were you doing in there? [grunts.]
Where's Clem? She's with Abe.
He's going to examine her and the baby.
Okay.
- I should be there.
- No.
You should rest.
I'm worried that that bio-drive in your head is what made you pass out.
Bio-drive or not, I got to figure out what's going on with my daughter.
Well, you can do it from here.
There's years of science for you to catch up on.
What's this? It's a surveillance photo of Mr.
Duncan, Abigail's partner.
He's dangerous.
A monster.
If I find him, I'm going to take him down.
That image is almost cleaned up, so do your research and let me know when the program's done with the image.
Oh, and, um rest up, Grandpa.
That is so not cool.
Well, the baby is healthy.
If it wasn't the only baby on the planet, I would say it was a textbook pregnancy.
What about the CLM-protein? And the stem cells from Abendegos' spinal fluid? As long as Clem's baby continues to develop normally, we should have enough CLM-protein to make our synthetic reproductive hormone.
But? But I did find something unexpected when comparing the genetic samples from the new hybrids.
[computer trills.]
Those shared markers prove that the woolly rhinoceros, winged hybrid, and Abendegos are related.
JACKSON: Related? What if Abigail created the new hybrids using common DNA as a starting point? And what that means for us and ending sterility is that Abendegos' spinal fluid only has part of what we need.
We need the stem cells from all the hybrids that share the genetic marker.
How many are there? Given the three samples I've seen, and their genetic variation, my best guess is that there are six breeds altogether.
There are six new hybrids, and we need spinal fluid from each of them.
How will we find them? I don't know.
But if we want to stop this reproductive problem, we need to find a way.
[footsteps approaching.]
I think we've found the kids.
Yeah, radiation signatures are high upstate, so the kids should be there, and the Melvatox pills.
Let's go get our son back.
Good news.
She's turned a corner.
We should be able to pull her out soon.
Good.
Good job.
[papers rustling.]
[door opens.]
What are you doing? I hate to do this, but, uh, I have orders to keep you here.
Orders from who? Your father.
Well, is he on his way? No.
No, he has to stay with Jackson.
It's the only way for the plan to succeed, cure the animals.
Um Jackson is dying.
Not anymore.
I got one for you: what did the, uh, aardvark say to the taxi driver? Dad? Dad? Mitch.
Mitch! [softly.]
: Dad no.
No.
No.
Abigail No.
Get out of my way.
Get out of my way! - Robert wants it this way! - I don't care what he wants.
That's my father out there! Let go of me! - Let go of me! - Back off.
- Back off.
- That is my father.
That is my father! That is my father! He's doing this for us.
No, he is not! He's doing this for Jackson! He chose Jackson.
He chose Jackson.
Jackson.
Jackson.
- Jackson.
- [weakly.]
: Jackson.
[groaning weakly.]
TECHNICIAN: Vitals are good.
TECHNICIAN 2: Blood pressure's stable.
110/80.
Hemoglobin levels are at seven grams.
O2, 98%.
TECHNICIAN 3: Team two, get ready to disconnect the generator and prep for extraction.
TECHNICIAN 1: Everyone move into place to remove Ms.
Westbrook from the tank.
Wha Abigail! Abigail.
I've been looking for you.
Everyone else evacuated.
We got to get out of here.
Abigail, we got to go.
Oh, you did it.
You made another hybrid.
I told you, Blue Diaspora is the only way forward.
- We need to make sure it succeeds.
- We? - I don't know anything about it.
- Not you.
I have a chopper hiding in Bay 12.
Go get it ready.
We'll be right there.
Where are you going? There's someone else we need.
[barking, snarling.]
No! Don't! Get away from him! Okay, Dr.
Morgan, I'm gonna get you out of here.
We've got a lot of work to do.
TECHNICIAN: Results from the EEG are showing normal levels of brain activity.
He's going to be in here a long time.
[alarm droning.]
MAN: All right, extraction.
WOMAN: We're ready.
MAN: On it.
[mechanical whirring.]
[Abigail gasps.]
[coughs, gasping.]
I'm fine.
Is everything in place? Almost.
Abendegos is gone.
Your brother has him.
Well, then it's a good thing Mr.
Duncan is with my brother.
