Zoo (2015) s03e10 Episode Script

Once Upon a Time in the Nest

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.
[ROARING.]
So a massive barrier was constructed to protect the rest of North America.
But new breeds have started to appear.
[SCREECHES.]
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.
[GROWLING.]
The fight for mankind's survival has just begun.
[SCREAMING.]
Previously on Zoo You have the bio-drive switch.
Why don't you just use it? Because I don't need Mitch right now.
I need Mr.
Duncan.
You're gonna do something that Mitch would never do.
ABRAHAM: Somehow, the spinal fluid survived.
We can still make the cure.
You're leaving? DARIELA: Today, I thought I was gonna watch my son die.
Let's go home.
I can't.
ABIGAIL: I activate the beacons, and the hybrids rise.
You're a hybrid? My hybrids are gonna take over the world.
- [GRUNTS.]
- What happened? Beacons.
Abigail's gonna activate them.
Oh, my God.
LOGAN: Our scientists think that the eggs are closer to hatching.
No telling what will happen when they do.
We know from the deaths in Germany that the eggs release toxic spores when they're disturbed.
In an enclosed area like this, they'll be particularly lethal.
But these chem-packs will suppress them.
That should neutralize the spores.
But keep a close eye on your toxin meters just to be safe.
[LIQUID DRIPPING.]
Green is good, yellow is bad.
Red, you're probably dead.
Okay.
Lay the charges at the exact locations marked on your GPS.
We have 30 minutes.
JACKSON: We got to get her into the lab.
[JACKSON AND MAX GRUNTING.]
MAX: Remind me again how many people this Abigail woman has killed? Not now, Max.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
SAM: Hurry, her heart rate's dropping.
It's not hers, it's the baby's.
- Is my son dying? - I'm working on it, Sam.
- Hang on! - You said the transfusion of my blood - would save the baby.
- It should have.
"Should have"? Do you even know what you're doing? What is that? I synthesized the hybrid growth factors.
Like I said, the only way to save your son is to accelerate the pregnancy and induce labor.
I'm sorry, but it's the only way.
[GUN COCKS.]
Get back.
[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING.]
Get her out of that tank, now.
We got to turn this place into a triage unit - if we want to save her life.
- Okay.
Listen, I'm gonna go get Abe, okay? All right, all right.
Go.
[SIGHS.]
[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING.]
Sam, I have to inject this serum into that tank now! - What if it kills her, huh? - It won't, you have to trust me.
I don't trust you! The girl I love is floating in a tank like a freak experiment, you put her in there.
Your son is going to die! JACKSON: Sam! What's happening here? [ALARM STOPS.]
Everything is fine now.
What the hell's he doing here? He was working with Abigail.
We found him tied up at Abigail's facility, pretending to be a prisoner.
I'll get him to the cage.
We can question him later when Clem's stable.
I need your help upstairs.
[GUN CLICKS.]
JAMIE: Like I said before, you're going to do something that Mitch would never do.
You're going to kill Abigail.
Let's entertain that for a moment.
How do you see it playing out? You're a doctor.
They're gonna want you to save her, but you're going to kill her.
I extracted her spinal fluid and she collapsed.
What? And you did that because? Because Abigail is the final hybrid we've been looking for.
That changes things.
So we're saving her life now.
Why? MITCH: My programming My biological imperative Is that I serve one person.
You're asking me to kill that person.
Why would I do that? If you don't, I'll put you back in your box.
[DEVICE CLICKS.]
Mitch? Hey.
Are we alive? 'Cause the-the plane was going down and You're okay.
It's okay.
Mitch, you're gonna have to trust me.
Whoa, whoa.
Jamie, what are you? [DEVICE CLICKS, WHIRRS.]
I don't understand how all of this works, but if Mitch is here, you aren't.
I can erase you.
What I'm offering you is the chance to be free from Abigail, from me, from anyone.
When Abigail held me captive, she said something about "the hybrids will rise.
" Now, she failed to set off her beacons, but there's more to her plan, Abe, I know it.
And now, you want to revive her in the hopes - that she's going to tell you.
- Yes.
She's a terrorist.
She's killed hundreds of innocent people.
Barely got a pulse here, guys.
I need you.
I need your help.
I was a soldier before I was a doctor.
I've seen close-up what people like Abigail can do.
Maybe the world is better off without her.
JAMIE: This safe has an eight-digit code.
I'll enter the first four numbers, easy as pie.
[SAFE BEEPS.]
And you can enter the next.
Do exactly as I say, and the device is yours.
Why don't you and your friends just kill Abigail yourselves? Because that's not how this story goes.
It's happened before.
We fight, we put our lives on the line.
[SAFE BEEPS.]
And then, we show mercy.
And it bites us in the ass every single time.
JACKSON: I know what she is, I know what she's done, I don't care.
We are saving her life, end of story.
JAMIE: Now, Jackson's a great guy.
He has a huge heart, but it is putting us all at risk.
I have to break the cycle.
[LIQUID SQUISHING.]
[SQUISHING, SQUEALING.]
MacDonald? How's it looking? MacDONALD [OVER RADIO.]
: Charges are set.
Okay.
Fallon? What's your 20? FALLON: It's almost done.
[FALLON COUGHING.]
LOGAN: Fallon, is that you? - [FALLON RETCHING.]
- Who has eyes on Fallon? [COUGHING CONTINUES.]
The spores are releasing.
Everybody evac to the tunnel, now.
LOGAN: Go, move, move! Fallon, come on! [COUGHING.]
Come on, let's go.
- [GAGGING.]
- Hey! Fallon.
[LIQUID BURSTS.]
[SIREN WAILING.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Can I help you? Can I interest you in a bear claw? DARIELA: No more than two.
Thanks for the offer, and the donuts, but I can't join the IADG.
If you're concerned for your son, we can ensure his safety.
Why do you need me? Your missions with Jackson Oz and his team.
You've been on the frontlines of the hybrid problem.
And you are one of the best minds when it comes to ground force tactical.
That's why we need you.
There are hundreds of thousands of children just like Isaac who won't have a world to call home, unless we take a stand, together.
ABRAHAM: So, are you going to accept? DARIELA: I don't know.
The only person who could take care of him is Isabelle.
ABRAHAM: Isabelle is like family.
He'll be fine.
But I feel like a hypocrite.
After I deserted you and the team.
Dariela, listen to me.
The world is ending.
The stakes are too high for someone of your skill set to sit on the sidelines.
You've been the wife, you've been the mother.
It's time for you to become a soldier again.
[SNIFFS, SIGHS.]
[PANTING.]
[YELLS.]
What are you going to do? What you asked me to do.
[HEART MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY.]
I know how to prep for surgery.
It's okay, I got it.
I know a thing or two about anatomy.
Remember the last time we did surgery together? Yes.
Good times.
What are you talking about? That elephant almost died.
We were in surgery for 17 hours.
Right.
I know.
I was making a joke.
Do me a favor, Jamie.
Get some alcohol over there, please.
[MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
MAX: Whoa.
Whoa.
MITCH: What's happening? I'm not sure.
Could be a tympanic rupture.
Maybe pressure to her brain.
The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
Her spine is leaking.
She needs a lumbar puncture.
Shouldn't we open her up? MITCH: No time.
- Hold her down.
- [CLEARS THROAT.]
[RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES.]
[FLUID SQUISHING.]
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY.]
Okay.
Nice job, son.
[SIGHS.]
I'll get the MRI scan so we can find that CSF leak.
What the hell was that? I only alleviated the pressure.
It'll probably still kill her.
Yeah, but it might not.
Why didn't you just let her die? There are two other doctors on this plane.
Wasn't part of your plan to make this not look like blatant murder? Don't worry, I'm fairly certain she'll be dead within the hour.
JACKSON: Sam, I know you're working with Abigail.
I need you to tell me what she was planning.
She was planning to stop you.
Stop me from what? Activating beacons.
Waking hybrid nests you've planted.
Wow.
She's really done a number on you.
Sam, you have this entire thing backwards.
I was there when you let the razorbacks loose on Pangaea.
My father was dead before I could get to him.
My mother died in my arms.
I was ten-years-old.
Abigail helped raise me after that.
I've known her my entire life.
I trust her.
I don't know you.
There's only one person on this plane I'll listen to.
And she's floating in a tank.
[BARS RATTLE.]
GARRISON: Is your son okay? DARIELA: He's good.
I explained everything to him.
He's actually excited his mom got recruited to help save the world.
- I tucked him into bed, got to say goodbye.
- Good.
We've posted guards at the house, 24/7.
Thank you.
GARRISON: As you know, there's been isolated packs of razorbacks east of the wall these last few years.
We've managed to exterminate them.
Now the only hybrids left in North America are west of the barrier.
- And? - We found nests here and in other parts of the world.
Presumably planted by Abigail Westbrook over the last decade.
Squashed one in Columbus, targeting one in Atlanta, and your old friend Logan is dealing with one in Seoul, Korea.
Our science division thinks that these nests are gonna hatch on their own, even if the beacons never go off.
If the beacons go off, that'll make it ten times worse.
The hybrids are just wild animals, but those beacons allow Abigail to weaponize them, to draw them on a death march in any direction she wants them to go.
That kind of insight can help you run ground force operations.
You report directly to me.
Whatever you need, sir.
Welcome to the IADG.
This is all the data we got from the tank that healed Abigail.
Now, I can't make any sense of it, but I know that you can, Abe.
Please.
I need your help.
I am asking you, please.
Whatever information you hope to get from Abigail had better be worth it.
Let's sift through this.
Search for anything concerning internal organs.
Considering she's a hybrid, there may be differences we need to know about.
I got her MRI results.
We found the leak.
- Right there on the left.
- [COMPUTER BEEPS.]
Dariela.
Abe, the IADG just found hybrid nests hidden all over the world, and they're incubating.
JACKSON: How much time until they hatch? The scientists here think soon.
Logan's in Seoul now dealing with one.
Every species of hybrid are in these nests.
If they hatch, we're talking thousands of new ones we have to fight.
Get these results to Mitch.
Excuse me a second.
[QUIETLY.]
: Oh I was reluctant to save Abigail before.
But now I know what it will take to save her.
The cost is too high.
What cost? What we took, we must replace.
What? You mean put the spinal fluid sample back? No, no, no, not quite.
She had internal injuries.
And she lost more spinal fluid than you extracted.
And because she shares DNA with all the hybrids, we need to synthesize a replacement with all the samples we obtained.
The samples we need to make the cure? Yes.
Either we use them to save your sister, or save mankind.
Dariela said the nests contain every type of hybrid, correct? What are you thinking? [TABLET BEEPING.]
Use the spinal fluid to save Abigail.
I'll get more.
We're going to Seoul.
What's that? Epinephrine.
An untraceable heart stimulant.
By the time surgery starts, she'll be in cardiac arrest.
ABRAHAM: Mitch, I'm scrubbing in.
- I don't need help.
- Plans change.
We're using the spinal fluid synthesis to save her.
Jackson will get more.
Are you kidding me? Is that why the plane is accelerating? Instead of curing sterility, Jackson wants to save Abigail? There are hybrid nests and they are incubating.
And the only person that knows how to stop them is dying here on this table.
We need to do this.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Dariela.
Detective Hale.
Or should I say, Special Agent Hale? I'm glad to see Garrison took my advice and brought you onboard.
We've been told to hold off laying explosives until after we hear from HQ.
What about an air strike? Can't.
With an air strike, there's no way - to contain the spores.
- Right.
And we know that the chem-pack's effectiveness is limited.
The window seems to be 20 minutes.
Garrison doesn't want anyone in that nest until they can write up a full report.
So in the meantime, we just wait.
Officially, you are to stand by and await further orders.
And unofficially? That's where I come in.
I'll let Jackson explain.
Retractors are in.
Mitch, wait.
Stop.
Severing that artery will kill her.
What are you doing, Mitch? What did you think you were cutting? I wasn't cutting.
I was moving the disc in order to prevent trapping a nerve.
Please, be more careful.
[SIGHS.]
Making the last injection.
Okay.
I think it's working.
Her vitals are up.
She's going to make it.
LOGAN: So you're doing all of this to save Abigail? You realize that she's a terrorist Terrorist responsible for hundreds of deaths and for releasing hybrids all over the world? Believe me, this case has been made.
But her plan isn't finished.
There's more she can tell us.
Oh, so you're sure the fact that she's your sister has nothing to do with it? I need the schematics of where you need the explosives laid.
Jackson, you're gonna have a 20-minute window in there.
There's no way that you're gonna be able to sift through thousands of eggs to find the six that you actually need.
It's impossible.
I know.
But I got to try.
Then I'm coming with you.
What can I say? I've always been a sucker for an impossible challenge.
[AIR HISSES.]
Famous last words.
[EGGS SQUISHING.]
[HYBRIDS CHITTERING IN EGGS.]
You boys have exactly 20 minutes.
That chem-pack won't suppress the spores for any longer than that.
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY.]
Abigail is stable.
Abe is going to save her.
Did you hear me? Have you ever worked against your friends like this? I am making a tough call for the greater good.
I am almost completely task-oriented.
Morality is not an issue.
Your good side battles your bad, which forces you into making bad decisions that you have to live with.
I don't need a psych eval from a robot.
You've won.
Abigail's already dead.
What do you mean? He just injected her with what he thought was meperidine.
But it was actually a lethal dose of epinephrine.
Abe's gonna think he killed her.
Is that a problem? [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
Mitch? I need you down here.
If that's what it takes.
ABRAHAM: Mitch, she's crashing! LOGAN: That chem-pack should make it safe for you to handle the hybrid eggs and extract the spinal fluid without setting off the spores.
Emphasis on "should.
" Only one way to find out.
[FLUID SQUISHING.]
[FLUID SQUISHING.]
DARIELA: One down, 16 minutes left.
Come on, guys, pick up the pace.
We need to split up.
All right.
- [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
- Abe, what did you do? I injected her with meperidine.
Her heart stopped.
We have to perform CPR.
[MONITOR CONTINUES BEEPING.]
Get the respirator bag.
Okay.
I'm going to start compressions.
Okay.
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING RHYTHMICALLY.]
Go, go, go.
Come on, come on.
[GRUNTS.]
Come on, don't die on me! [GRUNTING.]
[MONITOR FLATLINES.]
[FLATLINING CONTINUES.]
- Abe - No, no, no, no.
- We just need to, we just need - Abe.
No, wait, wait.
Abe.
[FLATLINING CONTINUES.]
It's over.
We did everything we could.
[MONITOR STOPS.]
[DEVICE BEEPING.]
[BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
Sir, a blackout just happened in Tokyo.
There's major electrical activity coming from a single building south of the city.
It's the only one that has power.
Give me sat imagery.
What is that? I have no idea.
[BOX RATTLING.]
[EGGS SQUISHING.]
JACKSON: How's it going over there? LOGAN: Just got fluid from a razorback.
Already got the snake thing.
You? I extracted fluid from the woolly rhino and the tentacle thing.
So we still need the ape hybrid.
Like Abendegos.
Look, we got about five minutes left.
And we still haven't checked the southeast quadrant.
- Why don't you meet me there? - DARIELA: Jackson, I have Abe on the line for you.
- He says it's important.
- Dariela, now is really not a great time.
ABRAHAM: Rafiki I'm afraid I have bad news.
It's Abigail.
We lost her.
[SIGHS.]
Yeah.
Uh I'm sure you did everything you could, huh? [EGG CRACKS.]
[BOX RATTLING.]
[EGG SQUISHING.]
GARRISON: Get it up on the big monitor.
This just appeared in Tokyo.
Do you know what it is? I think it's a beacon.
GARRISON: I thought they were designed to draw hybrids to them.
DARIELA: They are.
But look at the eggs.
They've been on the verge of hatching until now.
I think this might be their wake-up call.
Jackson? Logan, I need you to drop everything and get out now.
Say what? We're almost done.
No, you are done.
The eggs are hatching.
Get out now! The combination we set wasn't real, was it? No.
I lied to you.
It was easy as pie.
[SAFE BEEPS.]
Don't move.
Voice activation.
The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
Back away from the safe or I will slice his throat.
MAN: Hurry up! GARRISON: How many civilians are in the area? I need a threat assessment.
I'm on it.
Abe, we think a beacon in Tokyo went off and a nest in Korea is hatching.
Jackson is in that nest with Logan.
I know, I'm working on evacuating them now.
How did this happen? I'm not sure.
Abigail didn't activate her beacons.
- Well, something did.
- She's dead, Dariela.
My God.
What is that? - What? Abe, talk to me.
- There's something underneath the surface of her skin.
- Abe.
- Something mechanical.
What are you looking at at? Take a look.
MAX: What do you think that does? A beacon was just activated in Japan.
I think this might be the cause.
Okay.
- [DEVICE BEEPING.]
- MAX: This wasn't on when we opened her up.
It must have activated when her heart stopped.
Like a "deadman's switch.
" We need to get it out.
DARIELA: Abe.
Do whatever you can to shut that thing off, fast as you can.
Guys.
I need to evacuate that building right now.
LOGAN: We need to go.
Logan, we have to get that sample.
No, trust me, it's not worth it.
We need it to cure sterility.
My toxin meter's on yellow.
[EGG SPLATS.]
Got it.
Let's go.
Let's go! Move.
JACKSON: Come on! Back away from the safe.
Or Mitch Morgan dies.
[QUIETLY.]
: Okay.
You know, Abigail is dead.
I told you.
I'm programmed to serve one person and one person only.
You think you thought this through? But you have no idea what you've done.
What are you talking about? By killing Abigail, you just ended the world.
No witty comeback? Rosemary white.
- [GRUNTS.]
- [YELLS.]
Another nest just went live in Jakarta.
That's 3,000 miles from Seoul.
Whatever turned that beacon on, we need to shut it off.
Abe, give me some good news.
ABRAHAM: It won't come out.
MAX: It's attached to the mastoid.
Pull harder.
DARIELA: The Tokyo beacon is waking up more nests in Asia.
It's broadcasting further than we thought.
[BOX RATTLING.]
We can't wait any longer.
We need to blow the nest now.
The eggs are gonna hatch any second.
Jackson and Logan are inside.
After being ordered to stay out? Yes.
And if we blow it now, the spores will be released - into the city.
- I would rather deal with spores than a thousand new hybrids.
We need to hunt.
We are blowing the nest, now.
Not with my people inside.
GARRISON: Whoa.
Not yet.
I need ten seconds.
Jackson, Logan, can you hear me? Change of plans.
Go to the southwest stairwell.
What? Why? Just listen to me.
Go to the stairwell now.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
[DEVICES TRILLING.]
[EGGS BURSTING.]
Jackson? Logan, talk to me.
[SIGHS.]
We're fine.
We're okay.
It's good to hear your voice.
Guess we can knock that one off our bucket list.
You guys need to be Oscar Mike before those spores filter through the dust.
I'm gonna send an exfil team to get you.
Copy that.
We'll be ready.
Well played, Lieutenant.
Well played.
Enact an evac protocol in a 50-mile radius of that parking garage.
ABRAHAM: Okay, Dariela, we got it out, - but it's still transmitting.
- MAX: Fascinating.
Must be powered by some sort of new microbattery.
Max, be fascinated later.
This circuit is too small for you to find a toggle switch to shut it off.
Well, at the risk of being too obvious Max! Did it work? I'll be damned.
[HISSING.]
15 years ago, my unit captured an unfriendly in Mosul.
He was connected to an ISIS cell, but our interrogators couldn't break him.
So we released and followed him.
Led us right to our target.
Since we can't stop the signal, you want to trace it.
ABRAHAM: Yes.
The trace will help us find where the rest of the beacons are.
I'll get Mitch.
We can use all the brainpower we can get.
Okay.
[MITCH GRUNTS.]
Hey! The hell's going on here? [HISSING.]
- [SNAKE HISSING.]
- Aah! Hey.
[GRUNTS.]
What the hell is wrong with Mitch? - It's not Mitch, that's Duncan.
- What? I never changed him back.
Mitch, I could use some help here.
What happened to the bio-drive? MAX: Remember the camouflaged snake in Peru? I brought back an egg.
Apparently, it hatched.
You brought one of those snakes - onto my plane? - Yeah.
[SNAKE HISSING.]
We need to find a way to see it.
Yeah.
Oh, here, here.
Throw these around.
This is fascinating.
The snake must have been drawn to whatever wavelength the bio-drive device was emitting.
- Not now, Max.
- Yeah.
- This can't be.
- [ALARM BEEPING.]
DARIELA: That's a new one in Australia.
Another beacon's live.
Have we located any nests in Australia? No.
Notify the ASIO field office in Adelaide.
That beacon means that there are nests in Australia we haven't found yet.
There could be hundreds more around the world.
If more beacons activate, we are done.
Abe, we need to know where the rest of the beacons are.
Believe me, I'm trying.
Two have gone live.
We can't handle another one.
Just give me some time.
There there it is, there it is.
[HISSES, SHRIEKS.]
[COMPUTER BEEPS.]
I don't believe it.
Dariela, I have the raw data, but it's dense.
It's in the exabytes.
I can't decode this.
Upload it, quick.
[HISSING.]
[SNAKE SHRIEKS.]
[SQUISHING.]
I got it.
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[JAMIE YELLS.]
[JAMIE GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
- You okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You can get rid of me now, but the die has been cast.
What do you mean? We left a treat for you.
[GROANS.]
Death is only the beginning.
Screw this.
I want my son back! No, Max, wait.
[DEVICE CLICKS, WHIRRS.]
[GROANS.]
- Son - Mitch? Mitch, ten seconds ago, you told me that you left me a treat.
Do you remember what you were talking about? Does that sound like something I would ever say? Jamie Okay, we need the schematics of the plane.
Look for weak spots Anyplace they could have left a bomb, sarin gas, anything.
Go.
Yeah.
- [COMPUTER BEEPING.]
- Oh, yes.
Sir, an exabyte of raw data's coming in.
It may contain the location of the raw beacons.
I need all available hands to stop what they're doing.
Data's coming in on Lieutenant Kenyatta's socket that needs your full attention.
Hey.
He must have planted something when I wasn't looking.
The surveillance will pick it up.
- I'm pulling up security footage now.
- You need to stop.
You're working off the guilt of what you did.
Jamie, Duncan lied, that's all that it is.
The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
Wait, Duncan said that to me.
Yeah, he said it to me during surgery when we operated on Abigail.
No, he said that he left a-a treat, that the answer was simple.
It was a deadman's switch, - and it activated when Abigail died.
- No, no, no.
He said that death was just the beginning.
What if he wasn't talking about his own death, but Abigail's? Dariela, after everything that's happened between us the past few weeks, I You don't need to say it.
I do, and you need to hear it.
We've both said and done things that we regret.
And we could both keep rationalizing and apologizing, but I just want to put it behind us and move forward.
That being said, do you think the IADG might have room for one more scientist? I promise I'll make room for you.
See you soon.
I love you.
[COMM BEEPS.]
- [ABIGAIL YELLS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
[YELL ECHOES.]
When our world falls to pieces And the moonlight What happened? Why did it stop? I don't know.
Find out.
We need that data.
In the corners of our mind Where endless colors They are swallowed by the sun Jamie, her heart stopped.
How can she possibly be alive? Full of echoes just before they - ABIGAIL: Mitch? - Yeah.
Wrong answer.
And fountains full of flowers On islands full of tears Weeping willows and fireworks Oh, my God.
You believe what you see All the things that you know But, oh, you don't know Abigail.
How are you here? Of my soul [GROANS.]
The depth of my soul Good-bye, brother.
Ooh The depth of my soul [VOCALIZING.]
[MUSIC FADES.]
Hello? Hello?
