Zoo (2015) s03e07 Episode Script

Wham, Bam, Thank You Sam

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 the rogue Shepherd who created them to end the human race.
The fight for mankind's survival has just begun.
Previously on Zoo At day's end, you'll have Clements and Lewis.
Clem's baby could solve the sterility problem? Are you proud of yourself? I'm so sorry.
You kidnapped How does that even compute as right to you? It's not.
ABRAHAM: Isaac is not safe.
We have to go after Isaac.
After you had the affair, all I saw was betrayal.
Now Isaac is gone, I don't know how to look at you anymore.
Jackson has a lead on someone who might be Abigail's partner.
Somebody named Mr.
Duncan.
What's this? It's a surveillance photo of Mr.
Duncan.
He's public enemy number one, but nobody knows where he is or even what he looks like.
If I find him, I'm going to take him down.
Let's begin.
Tell me what you see.
A pony? And now what do you see? A car.
How about you? What do you see? A house? This isn't working.
Run it again.
There's a service road here, just large enough for a landing.
From there, we head to this building.
It's an old pharma research facility.
It's the only place large enough to stash that many kids within 20 miles of the radiation spike we detected.
And we don't know what kind of hostiles to expect.
Abigail herself could be there.
So we go in the southwest.
More cover, - no choke points.
- JAMIE: I got access to thermal imaging from the IADG satellite.
This is from an hour ago.
ABRAHAM: That's where Isaac is.
It has to be.
Tell me what you see.
A fire truck? A crayon? A sandwich? You need to try harder.
The Melvatox-B is allowing their brains to operate on the same frequency as the hybrids, but scaring them will flood their brains with corticotrophin.
Which could dilute the Melvatox-B, you're right.
Let's try this again.
CLEMENTINE: Dad? We're gearing up.
"We"? Yeah.
I can help.
Let's set aside the fact that Abe thinks the baby you're carrying could jumpstart the human race.
Dariela's gonna be leading this mission and I don't trust her judgment.
Not around you.
She's only out to save her son.
I don't blame her.
I do.
You're not going.
Focus.
What do you see now? Is it a white bunny with one red eye and one blue eye? The zero frequency.
Gives us bi-directional communication between the hybrids and our beacons.
It worked.
ABIGAIL: For hundreds of years, animals have served as guinea pigs to benefit humans.
Today we use humans to benefit my hybrids.
- [Alarm.]
- AUTOMATED VOICE: Warning.
Security breach, southwest perimeter.
My brother.
So smart.
Take what you can, wipe everything else.
Round up the razorbacks and meet me at the fallback position.
What do you want to do with the children? - We don't need them anymore.
- Where are you going? Abigail! [Computer Trilling.]
[Door Unlatches.]
Anything? Empty.
- Same.
- This isn't possible.
There was heat-signature confirmation on our descent.
How can there be no one here? Let's keep looking.
[Sighs.]
They knew that we were coming.
Well, that looks oddly familiar.
JAMIE: It's a stasis tank.
It's just like the one you were in.
What is it doing here? Wasn't Abigail dressed as a cop in New York? Logan said he took a shot at her.
Well, it looks like he hit her.
Guys, we have confirmation that Abigail has been on-site.
[Grunts.]
Abigail.
And you must be Mitch Morgan's daughter, Clementine.
Now that we got that out of the way [Grunts.]
[Groans.]
[Grunts.]
Abendegos.
Where is he? Locked in the vehicle bay.
[Groans.]
[Grunts.]
Mom? Dad? Isaac.
- Oh, my God.
- ABRAHAM: Isaac? - DARIELA: Isaac? - Isaac? - I-I got him! Where is everybody else? Where are the adults? The lady said "The game's over.
" [Soft Thuds.]
[Low Grunting, Snorting.]
REPORTER: We're live in upstate New York, at the dramatic recovery of the missing children from the Reiden medical trials.
With me is Detective Logan Hale of the NYPD, who was instrumental in finding this location.
Detective, what happens next? Well, as you can see behind me, we have multiple agencies working together to confirm the identities of each child and to assess their health.
Then we'll begin the process of reuniting them with their families.
Now, we ask that all the families please refrain from coming here.
We understand that you're desperate to see your children, but it will only slow things down.
WOMAN: No, we're gonna let the FBI handle that.
One second.
Detective, we found a series of tunnels underneath the facility.
That's how Abigail Westbrook and her people got out.
I want BOLOs out to all the local law enforcement, and the border patrol, in case she tries to run to Canada.
AGENT: Okay.
You should still get Isaac checked out by a doctor, but I'm not seeing any problems.
Your boy seems fine.
We missed you so much, Isaac.
I told everybody you were going to rescue us.
- [Laughs.]
- Isaac, what was it like in there? We don't have to talk about that right now.
What matters is that we got you back.
Hey.
Isaac's been cleared, we're getting out of here.
What are you doing? Well, Logan had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the Feds to okay it, but we're taking this thing with us.
Well, that's not the worst idea.
- You know, I'd - I know that you lost ten years of your life to one of these things, Mitch, and you probably hate it.
But if we can get under the hood, there is no telling what we can learn about Abigail.
I'm more concerned about how you think you're going to get it back to the plane.
Let's get Logan to do it.
I don't care if the closest neighbor is a mile away, I want to talk to them.
- Okay.
- Detective Hale, can I interest you in a bear claw? Excuse me? My wife won't allow me to touch sweets, but, uh, I have a 100-mile rule.
Whenever I'm more than 100 miles from home, I can eat whatever I want.
My weakness is Boston cream.
Great, I'm happy that I know that now.
What do you want? Never seen an IADG clearance quite that high before Agent Garrison.
What do you want? I've had my eye on you for quite some time, Detective.
Catching the Serenity Killer as a patrolman, infiltrating a Shepherd sleeper cell Right, so so you can read my CV.
And? And this.
What am I looking at? Four hikers were found dead in the Black Forest, in Germany.
The coroner ruled they died after inhaling an unidentified toxin.
I'm in the NYPD.
That's a little outside of my jurisdiction.
The autopsy also showed trace amounts of hybrid DNA on the bodies.
There are no hybrids in Germany or anyplace else outside of North or South America.
It's a mystery.
One we'd like you to help us solve.
I'm a New York cop.
Why me? You have a history with the hybrids.
Ten years ago, you were on an island facing down razorbacks before the rest of the world - knew they existed.
- Really? I think you got some bad intel there.
Detective, please, I'm well aware of your former life.
Fine.
Still not interested.
Tarapoto, Peru.
That's where your teammates will find the next hybrid they're looking for.
And how the hell did you know about that? Are you gonna stand there asking questions, or are you gonna accept my offer and start getting some answers? - Got something for you.
- What is it? Three refugee camps near Tarapoto, Peru, were attacked last week.
Eyewitness accounts say that the creature is some kind of a ghost.
That disc contains reports that argue that this "ghost" is actually a new hybrid.
Well, that's convenient.
Abe said we needed spinal fluid from new hybrids.
Where'd you get it? I made some new friends.
So this is the end of the line for me.
I've been given an opportunity, and I won't be getting back on the plane with you guys.
What? You're leaving the team now? To do what? It's classified.
- Seriously? - Seriously.
Is this about Mitch? I won't lie.
I mean, if I thought that there was a future for you and me, I might stay.
But given the state of things, I just think that this makes the most sense for me.
But if you need anything, you know how to reach me.
You're not joining a cult, are you? [Laughs.]
I'll see you around, okay? CLEMENTINE: You found the kids? Yeah, so that's one in the win column, finally.
I need to go see if that image of Mr.
Duncan is finished processing.
Yeah, I forgot to tell you, error message came up Something about a corrupted file.
I'll go check.
I'll uh, prep the gear for Peru.
We're gonna need live rounds, no tranqs.
- We're going to Peru? - Yeah.
MITCH: We got intel on a new hybrid out there.
We need some more spinal fluid.
And with Abigail in the wind, it's pretty much our only play.
Abigail was here.
- I'm sorry, what? - What? What do you mean, Abigail was here? Are you okay? She hurt you? No, she didn't touch me, but, um, she got Abendegos.
- I'm so sorry.
- JACKSON: Okay, Clem, I need you to walk me through everything that she said.
Okay? You sure you're okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
JAMIE: The hybrids swept through here on their way from Pangaea to North America.
We thought they'd all cleared out.
I gotta say, you've been taking me to some very romantic spots since I've been back.
You catching that charming smell of death out here? I've been in worse.
Back when I was an intern at the zoo, my first job was piling up the dung in the elephant habitat.
I one time chased a Shepherd in a sewer under a tandoori restaurant.
- Winner.
- [Rustling.]
[Growling.]
Tell me you just saw that.
What the hell? Did that wolf just teleport? Maybe.
Mitch.
Max? Jamie? Sorry about that, son.
FEMALE PUNDIT: Reiden Global claimed they took the children to cure sterility.
If that was a lie, I want an explanation.
MALE PUNDIT: At least yesterday there was hope - Hope for a cure - [Sighs.]
The world is going to hell.
[Wrench Clatters.]
Looks like it's going well.
I can't get this thing to work.
Look, Abigail is constantly one step ahead of us, and we are running out of time.
If we can just get this thing to power up, we might be able to get to the data it has inside, find out where she's been, and maybe where she's going.
I've read studies about tanks like these, theories about how they work.
A combination of experimental trauma treatment and induced hibernation.
I never thought anyone had actually built one.
That vent is for airflow.
The power supply system is just like an electrical car.
That thing is the electric control actuator.
Now we just need to find the ignition coil.
Here, try the, uh, circuit tester.
Clem, what's going on? Okay, so Abigail and I got into a bit of a catfight.
But I'm fine.
Really.
I'll be the judge of that.
Go take a seat.
This is why I didn't want to tell you guys earlier.
I don't want you worrying about me.
You have your own stuff you should be focusing on.
Clem, you're carrying the baby that could save the world.
There's really nothing more important than you right now.
JACKSON: I get it.
Ten years ago, I was in your shoes.
Pregnant? [Chuckles.]
Carrying the cure inside my blood.
No pressure, right? So what did you do when it all got to be too much? Alcohol.
That's not really an option for me.
Having people around me that I could trust didn't hurt, either.
What? I'm sure it's nothing.
I need to extract some blood.
I'll go get my kit.
What happened? You don't remember? Oh Max? Easy, easy.
Come on.
Look, the dart that I shot you with is not meant for humans.
It's ketamine mixed with atropine.
A side effect is temporary amnesia.
You shot me with a PL4 tranq.
- Why? - It was an accident.
I'm sorry.
Probably lost a half an hour.
You know I just lost a decade, right? - [Laughs.]
: Okay.
- You want to take another 30 minutes? What are you doing here, Max? What are you doing here? And how's Clementine? How's the baby? How'd you know she was with us? And how do you know she's pregnant? She called me.
So you knew I was alive, and you you didn't call me.
MAX: Who's supposed to notify who when somebody's resurrected from the dead? As far as I'm concerned, it should be the one who's resurrected.
Yeah? That's the protocol? Well, Jesus only took 40 days to let his people know.
All right! Max, what are you doing here? There are rumors that there's a 60-foot snake, high as a man's waist, - roaming in this area.
- Of course.
And here's the thing No one's actually seen it.
Like a ghost snake.
Exactly.
And I have, uh, fine-tuned this device to detect the heartbeat of a snake that size when it's within range.
I've come close.
Haven't actually seen it.
That's what I do.
I'm a cryptozoologist.
And this is my white whale.
I think we're looking for the same thing.
Hey, I miss this.
[Chuckles.]
Isaac, why don't you tell us a little about what happened inside that place? We didn't go outside.
They gave us candy.
We played games.
- Like sports? - No.
The teacher called them "guessing games.
" They were more like tests.
We had to say what we saw in our heads.
I never got it right, though.
- Can I go watch TV? - Sure.
What did they do to him? The candy, the images in his mind We know that Melvatox-B affects young brains.
In the '60s, the CIA ran all kinds of cognitive tests with drugs LSD, MK Ultra To study side effects.
Thankfully, there's no trace of Melvatox-B in his system anymore.
His tox screen came back clean.
So he's fine.
Are you sure? As sure as I can be.
All right, I'm gonna adjust the charge, so get ready.
Did you check the camshaft sensor? Yeah, twice.
[Electricity Crackles.]
What'd you do? This thing is overloading.
- Okay.
- Pull the fuse.
- All right.
- No.
Not the relay, pull the terminal.
The whole thing.
All right.
I'm just a little lost here, I'm sorry.
Maybe this? [Tank Powering Up.]
Hey.
[Chuckles.]
We got the data.
"Eight hours of cellular regeneration, hyper tissue mitosis" You did it? ABRAHAM: These records are exact details of what was done to her.
I wonder what else this thing knows about Abigail.
So do I.
But it will have to wait.
I'm here because we need to talk.
I got your blood test results back.
None of this makes any sense.
I see the wolf's paw prints coming into the area, but not going.
Okay, you said your mythical snake is 60 feet long? - Yeah.
- That'd give it a diameter of, what, - 40 inches, right? - Uh, give or take.
Why? Let's say your snake does exist, but nobody can find it because nobody can see it.
What, you're saying it's invisible? Not exactly.
Go with me here.
Uh, snakes are already pretty good at camouflaging themselves when they're not moving.
- Right.
- What if this snake is a hybrid that has just taken its camouflage talents one step further? So it can blend into its surroundings, even when it's in motion.
See that tree? If the snake came in through there, ate the wolf, it would look like it just disappeared.
MAX: Snakes don't just gulp their prey.
They crush them to death first, and then slowly eat them.
Other animals swallow their prey whole.
Monkfish, certain frogs.
Maybe this snake is just borrowing one of their tricks.
- [Chuckles.]
- JAMIE: Yeah, but if it can do all that, how are we gonna find it? Well, if we can't see it, we, we'll follow its path.
A snake would return to its lair to digest.
- We got to find its den.
- That way.
[Birds Chirping.]
Your baby has HDF, hemolytic disease.
It's a blood disorder.
In short, your blood has mixed with the baby's, and your body is creating antibodies that are attacking the baby's blood.
What do we do? Your baby's blood type is extremely rare.
I've already called numerous blood banks, but it could take weeks to find a match.
If we had the father's blood, I could do an exchange transfusion, literally replace the baby's blood.
His name is Sam Parker.
We met about three months ago in Colorado, but I don't know where he's living now.
We have to do everything we can to locate Sam.
If we get his blood in time, your baby will survive.
Clem, you got to tell me everything you know about him, and I'll start tracking him down.
[Quietly.]
: Yeah.
So Jamie, I take it you're back together with my son? What are you doing? What? I can't be happy my son's back in a meaningful relationship? Oh, right.
Because as soon as I confirm that's the case, that'll be your cue to make a move on her.
That didn't take long, did it? I've changed.
MITCH: Yes, I'm sure you have.
Isn't it enough you just "accidentally" shot me in the neck? You got to pretend to care about my happiness, too? I swear, I don't know how you've become so cynical.
I learned it.
From the same guy who taught me about meaningful relationships.
Look, Jamie is the person that I trust most.
Okay? Let's just leave it at that.
Hey, guys, I followed the pattern of broken branches to that building.
I think I found the snake den.
[Detector Clicking.]
MITCH: Okay, Max.
Yeah.
I'm gonna need some spinal fluid from your snake.
How much spinal fluid? Well, if it's as big as you say it is, uh, about 250 cc's? You can't do that, it'll kill it.
What are you doing? While you guys debate the bioethics of invisible snakes, I think I know a way to see it.
[Fire Extinguisher Sprays.]
MAX: Anacondas and pythons can survive for 14 weeks without food.
Our window for catching this thing is, is closing.
[Detector Clicking Rapidly.]
[Clattering.]
Think your white whale's here, Max.
Hmm.
[Hissing.]
[Hissing.]
[Roars.]
No, don't kill it! [Gunshot Ricochets.]
- What the hell are you doing, Max? - Jamie? This reptile can cloak itself.
[Panting.]
[Grunts.]
Can you imagine the scientific possibilities? What the military would pay us if we could understand how it works? - There it is.
- Huh? I knew you had an angle.
[Scuffing, Slithering Sounds.]
- We are gonna neutralize this snake - Yeah.
We're gonna get its spinal fluid.
If it dies, it dies.
End of story.
[Metal Clatters.]
- Jamie.
- Yeah.
Jamie? Jamie! - Jamie! - Jamie! JACKSON: Not surprising, but there's over a hundred Sam Parkers in 32 different states, including Alaska.
- Still? - In every populated one, up to the barrier.
You said you met him in Colorado? Yeah, uh, he worked near the barrier.
He was building homes for hybrid victims at, uh, the Hope Foundation.
According to their Web site, the Hope org worked all along the barrier, even into Canada and Mexico, so All right, tell me more about him.
You know, maybe we can find out where he went.
He liked country music, drank gin, had a red Ford pickup.
I don't know, that's about it.
You know, Clem, I've been hurt, too.
[Laughs Softly.]
I know how it is.
I, uh, was waiting on intel about a decommissioned Shepherd facility.
That's when I met Sam.
He had these kind eyes.
Uh, we started talking and, I don't know, just kind of clicked.
He asked me out on a date.
The world being what it is, and this guy, he shows up with a bouquet of wildflowers and asks me out.
Uh, we were together every day and night.
Till I got confirmation that the Shepherd facility was somewhere in Eastern Europe.
I had to go, it was the most solid lead I'd gotten in months.
And you didn't want him to know.
How would I even explain it? So I pulled a guy move and I snuck out in the middle of the night.
I didn't leave a note.
And I never looked back.
Now I have to tell him that we're having a child together.
I doubt he'll ever speak to me again.
When he knows what's at stake, I promise you, he will.
Where's Isaac? In the bedroom.
Reading the plane's flight manual.
Again.
[Chuckles.]
When are we going home? Look, I was hoping we could all stay together.
The work we're doing here Abe, I know it's important.
But this plane's no place for a kid.
Isaac's important, too.
When we first met, there was nothing you wouldn't do for our missions and for this family on this plane.
Mitch can barely look at me.
We're not that family anymore.
Abe, I think it's best I take Isaac and leave.
And I want you to come with us.
I can't do that.
I know.
And that's what's killing me.
You need to be here for the team.
Looking out for Clem and her baby.
But one of us has to look out for Isaac.
Clem, I had Logan check the national PNC database.
A 1988 red Ford pickup registered to a Sam Parker got a speeding ticket in Pittsburgh yesterday.
You said that's where his parents live, right? Yeah.
We'll set a course for there after your dad and Jamie return.
We don't know if he's still there.
I've had my heart broken.
Home is where I'd go.
- MITCH: Jamie? - MAX: Jamie? [Clattering.]
[Slithering, Hissing.]
[Snake Screeching.]
[Snake Continues Screeching.]
[Panting.]
Still not the worst place I've ever been.
DARIELA: The cat dragged this one in again.
Well, it's quite a homecoming.
Nice to see you again, Mrs.
Kenyatta.
We got the spinal fluid.
From a herd of what? You guys look terrible, and that smell You don't want to know.
We got to get this plane up in the air.
- Why? - What's wrong? It's Clem.
Of course I checked.
Their blood is incompatible.
How can you be so sure, Abe? I mean, no offense, pal, but you've been a doctor for all of what? 20 minutes? Please.
What does this mean for the baby? It won't survive if it doesn't get a blood transfusion - in the next three days.
- MAX: Maybe less.
Transfusion from the father is the only solve.
Well, we're on our way to him now.
We are? Great.
Who is this guy? His name is Sam Parker.
Maybe after we cure sterility, we can all go to dinner and you can grill him then.
ABRAHAM: We're flying into Pittsburgh now to find him.
But there is no guarantee we'll get to him on time.
JACKSON: Okay.
No one wants to say it, but, uh what about the tank? What? No.
Nope.
That's not that's not an option.
- That's not gonna - You-you know what, it-it kept you alive and in stasis for-for ten years.
ABRAHAM: It may not cure the baby, but it will prevent the HDF from getting worse while we work on a more permanent solution.
But our opinion is not the most important here.
If it'll save my baby, I'll do it.
- Clem.
- Dad.
I know you just want to protect me.
We're the only family we have left, but these people are our family, too.
They helped me find you and they brought us back together.
They made sure you were safe and I know they'll do the same for me and this baby.
JAMIE: We're all gonna be here when you wake up.
I'll find Sam.
I promise.
This isn't good-bye, okay? I'm just unplugging for a bit.
You don't have to be all sentimental.
I, uh, think it's time.
We should give them some space.
This should be family only.
MITCH: No.
Stay.
Please.
Clem was right.
Everybody here is family.
You sure you want to do this? Yeah.
[Tank Whirring.]
Hey, Jamie, how are you doing? Hey.
How are you? Well, I keep telling myself that, uh, Mitch spent ten years in one of those tanks and he came out just fine, so Clementine should, too, right? She'll be okay.
The baby, too.
We have two well well, make that three Of the best scientists in the world on this plane.
[Chuckles.]
That's interesting.
What kind of crazy compound is my son working on now? What do you mean? See that sequence of covalent bonds? That's Mitch's signature.
[Chuckles.]
It's kind of an inside joke only scientists get.
Mitch? Are you sure? I'm positive.
See the bond angle and the spatial orientation? [Fading.]
: That's-that's all him.
First time he used it was his high school science project.
It's kind of been his thing ever since.
I don't even think it's intentional - Excuse me.
- Hmm? So you're really leaving.
Dariela.
Dariela.
You once told me it never mattered where in the world we were as long as we were together.
I need you here with me.
You're Mr.
Duncan.
You lied to me.
This photo wasn't corrupted.
You tried to erase it.
How long have you known about this? Look, I know it's not your fault.
Abigail put the bio-drive in your head.
But what else are you responsible for? Do you even know? How could you not tell me? I'm I'm gonna tell the rest of the team.
I have to.
You didn't give me a choice.
I'm sorry.
[Gasps.]
Mitch.
What have you done? Hey, can I help you? Hey, I'm-I'm sorry to drop in on you like this, Sam.
Um, my name is Jackson and, uh, a friend of mine, Clementine Lewis, - sent me.
- I'm sorry, I don't I know what I'm about to say will sound impossible, um, but you were with Clem three months ago in-in Colorado and, uh, she's pregnant.
I don't know Clementine.
All right, look, I-I know that you probably don't want to hear from her and I-I get that, but for what it's worth You don't understand.
You have the wrong guy.
I'm in the Air Force and I was stationed over at Ramstein, Germany for the past year.
And if you're telling me some girl is pregnant, then, I mean, that's amazing.
But I could promise you it's not because of me.
Um, Sam Parker is a common name.
Maybe you want to check [Gunshot.]
Hello, brother.
It wasn't easy hunting you down.
You have something I need.
It's time we finally got to know each other.
