03x02 - Diaspora

Post by bunniefuu »

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're trying to reassemble our team.

We battle on many fronts,

searching for a cure to sterility

while racing to stop the hybrids.

The fight for mankind's
survival has just begun.

- Previously on Zoo...
- It's me, Clem.

My father's alive, and
he needs you, Jamie.

It's Mitch Morgan.

You're gonna be okay.

There's somebody here who's
been waiting to talk to you.

It's me, your daughter. Clementine.

You have to stop. The last
Shepherd that you chased

- ended up dead.
- What are you gonna do, arrest me?

I need to know what's
on that drive, ASAP.

Somebody went through a
lot of trouble to get that.

I'm sorry.

Is that the IADG investigator?

Hey, excuse me, miss?

Damn it.

96 people dead, 100 wounded.

How could I let this happen?

You didn't. This was not your fault.

That woman, the bomber,
we have to find her.

We've alerted the other safe zones.

Yeah, well, what if it's
not about the safe zones?

She bombed us the same day
that we found the new hybrid.

That can't be a coincidence.

What are you saying,
she targeted the hybrid?

I don't know exactly, but
there was this look in her eye.

We have to find her.

I'll grab some extra a*mo.

For all we know, she's
over the mountains by now.

Who knows who or what we'll run into?

There's
more in the bullpen.

- I need some help here.
- You hurt?

No, I'm fine.

Danica.

- You shouldn't be in here.
- I know.

So who's working on
I.D.'ing the ignition device?

Who isn't?

We know that it was a hard drive

inside the evidence room.

We're still running analytics,

trying to identify this symbol.

Don't waste your time.

I know where the hard drive came from.

That's where my dad's supposed to be.

Siberia.

After ten years of coming up empty,

I've learned not to get my hopes up.

After so long, I'd almost
given up on finding you,

but here you are.

Are you feeling any better?

Oh, it's okay.

Dad, you don't have to talk.

Lieutenant Myers said that
it might take some time.

Where am I?

Are you sure these
coordinates are right?

Yes, I'm sure.

Where are you getting these images?

I had a friend re-task
a Chinese satellite.

You have friends who
task Chinese satellites?

Clem, this place has
been empty for decades.

There's no record of any
traffic going in our out.

How can you be so sure he's here?

Let alone alive?

This is why.

Where did you get this?

I have friends, too.

How? How did you find him?

I got a call from Lieutenant Myers.

He told me an IADG
survey team found a man

in a stasis t*nk in
an abandoned compound.

A man that they believe to be my father.

I thought it was a cruel joke

until they showed me this picture.

I thought you were dead.

I don't know how and I don't know why,

but my dad, he's alive.

Who else knows about this?

Hey.

Has your father started
talking yet, Clementine?

- A little bit, but...
- Did you ask him?

Not yet.

We'll get there.

But right now,

his brain's gamma frequency
readings are still low.

How long?

Hours. Days.

Look, we're in uncharted territory here.

No one's ever been in stasis this long.

Maybe we should just let him rest.

Fine.

But there's a storm moving in,

and I don't plan on
being here when it hits.

Don't mind him.

- Stay.
- Okay.

Dad, I'm here.

Jackson Oz? What's he
got to do with this?

You think he's connected to the bomber?

Mm, no, no, no. I'm, um, I'm just...

Carrying the weight of the
world on your shoulders again?

You act like all of this
is somehow your fault.

The spread of the the razorbacks?

The TX sterility?

I get why you want to track down Jackson

as he and his crazy father

are the bastards who started this all,

but you can't solve all
the world's problems.

The Shepherd hunters will find Oz.

They'll make him pay.

You, Dylan Green, are a wonderful,

caring, passionate man.

You have saved hundreds, if not
thousands, of lives out here.

And that's enough.

Do you believe me?

Yeah.

Terrible liar, Dylan.

Let's go find your hybrid lady.

We now understand that the TX-gas

has changed the neurons
in the hypothalamus,

prohibiting the
production of the hormone

essential for reproduction.

With all due respect,

Leanne, we are on the Titanic here

and you are explaining

the mechanics of how we are sinking.

I understand your frustration, Cal,

but we have made progress.

Our latest

synthetic hormone, FH-562,

was able to increase gonadotropin levels

by 28% in our test subjects.

So, what does that mean?

Ovulation.

Ovulation?

Now, unfortunately,
the egg wasn't viable,

but even so, no one else has
been able to achieve this feat.

But our goal is not just ovulation.

It's to bring a child to term.

The only way to make this happen

is with your continued support.

Give us a moment, please, Leanne.

Mm-hmm.

How's it going?

Well, the fate of humanity rests

on this self-important
prick, God help us.

Ah.

So, what are you thinking, Cal?

You have our backing, Leanne.

We will talk to the other board members.

Fantastic. I'll let the team know.

Ovulation?

We're nowhere near that milestone.

All that matters is
that Cal thinks we are.

Well, then it's good we have this.

The NLRP2 protein.

But I thought this wasn't viable.

We found another protein structure.

The formula works.

This is what we've been waiting for.

We can begin trials.

Where did you get this?

One of our contacts, Jonah Sutton,

got it from someone he used to work with

at the University of
Michigan, Dr. Abraham Kenyatta.

Who?

You figure that thing out yet?

Not even close.

Whatever Jackson
encountered beyond the wall,

it's like nothing I've ever seen.

They could've used our help, you know.

You're worried about Clem.

If Mitch is really out there

and there's others looking for him...

I know Jamie's with
her, but we've had trai...

They are going to be fine.

I feel sorry for anyone
who's unlucky enough

to come between them and Mitch.

I know, it's just...

after all we've been through together,

riding the bench ain't easy.

We're not riding the bench.

We're raising our son.

What was that?

It's that tree out front.

I really should cut it.

I know, I know.

Okay. Okay.

Call me as soon as you
have eyes on Campbell.

Thank you.

Still no sign of her?

I'll find her.

Well, this should cheer you up.

We ran some more tests.

We were able to identify the accelerant.

It's a hyper-carbon,
extremely powerful.

These are initial results
from the Portland bombing.

- It's the same hyper-carbon.
- Yeah.

Okay, so who's running
the case out in Portland?

No one.

That's hybrid territory.

No agency is gonna send personnel

that far past the barrier.

But what about non-law enforcement?

We need somebody out
there, we need a contact.

We need somebody who knows the area.

There's an aid group out there.

Both state
and federal agents...

Wait, pause that.

Go back one.

Punch in on that.

Unbelievable.

Hey, this is Detective Hale.

Badge number 39374.

I need priority air transport.

Where are you going?

Oregon.

That's her truck.

She's gone.

Well, see if she left anything behind

that might tell us where she went.

Nothing.

What is that?

I have no idea.

Hello, Jackson.

What's going on?

Don't worry, son.

Why weren't there any
warnings about the hybrids?

Go, go.

I know this is scary,

but stay here and stay quiet

and everything will be fine.

Be brave for me?

Give Mommy a smile.

Still no signal.

Some kind of interference.

So, we're on our own.

What is that?

Abe.

We have to... what?

The tissue sample, it's grown

into a fetus.

Into a baby hybrid? But how?

I don't know.

But this egg, I think
it's calling for help.

The razorbacks have come for it.

I've seen this kind of long
distance communication before

in mutated lions, but that
was nowhere near this powerful.

If that thing is what they
want, I say let them have it.

We can't leave it here.

This new hybrid has
grown from a tissue sample

into a fully-developed
embryo in a matter of hours.

If I can study it,

somehow isolate the
hormones responsible,

this embryo could pave the way

to reversing the effects of the TX-gas.

You really playing the "we have
to save the world" card again?

This could be the key to
solving human sterilization.

We cannot leave it behind.

Sounds like the storm's
moving and we got to work fast.

I'll lure them to the backyard.

You take Isaac to the truck.

I'll meet you on the access road.

No, no, Dariela.

It's too dangerous.

There may be another way.

You must feel like Rip Van Winkle,

waking up in a different world.

Humanity sterilized.

The West Coast fallen.

Packs of monsters roaming the streets.

But the IADG, they
think that you can help.

They think you know
how to stop the hybrids.

Do you remember anything

about how you ended up in that t*nk?

Who put you there or why?

It's okay.

Just might take some time.

79, 60.

79, 60?

Seeing your face again,

the only thing that I
can remember is 79, 60.

You don't remember.

The parking ticket I got
the day you were born.

$79.60.

Money well spent.

Almost missed your birth.

And I missed half your childhood.

And the past ten years.

I swear, I am...

I'm not missing another second, ever.

It's good that you're remembering.

They need you to
remember something, too.

What do they want to know?

They're looking for answers
about some kind of program.

Blue Diaspora.

I don't know what it means,

but whatever it is,
it's really important.

It's the reason they came for you.

We did everything we
could to find her, Dylan.

Okay, I don't even know

how we're supposed to sleep
with her still out there.

Well, we live in hybrid country,

beyond the barrier.

We've seen our fair share of
god-awful, horrible things.

We've helped hundreds of families

find their way to safety,
so I sleep fine at night,

especially knowing
you're in bed beside me.

Logan.

It's a nice place you got here... Dylan.

How we doing, Dr. Morgan?

His core temperature is coming up.

That's great.

Heart rate stabilized.

Blood flow is improving.

Well, how about your memory?

Anything coming back?

Yeah.

I remember everything.

Just waiting for you to
upgrade me to a better room.

Well, you got
your sense of humor back.

That's a good sign.

So then, tell me,

what do you remember
about Blue Diaspora?

I'm sorry, I don't know what that is.

I understand.

But my team tells me otherwise.

What's inside your head,

it could help save a lot of people.

How?

I'm afraid that's classified.

But you get back to your old self,

we get you IADG
clearance, you can help us.

Help the IADG?

Last I checked,

you were trying to m*rder
every animal on the planet,

so, um... no, thanks.

I know your history
with our organization,

with General Davies, but
that was ten years ago.

I assure you, our priority
now is protecting people

from the hybrid thr*at.

And that's why we're here.

But we need your help.

We need you to remember.

I don't know what to tell you.

I've tried.

There's nothing.

That's all right.

Well, it looks like
your gamma frequencies

are still lagging behind.

I got some meds that should
be able to help with that.

I'll be right back.

Whatever he gives you, don't take it.

Clem, what are you not telling me?

We need to get out of here.

These are not good people,
and they're not with the IADG.

Who are they?

They're Shepherds.

Who are you?

Clementine.

You shouldn't be down here.

What are you doing down here?

What am I doing down here?

What are you doing down here?

- Clem, take it easy.
- Take it easy?

You have a man in a cage on your plane.

He doesn't deserve to be called a man,

not after what he did.

A little dramatic, don't you think?

Shut up. His name is Greg Mansdale.

He's a Shepherd.

For the last three months,
he's been giving me information,

information I use against
the other Shepherds.

He's one of the people
who poisoned the planet,

sterilized humanity.

He's one of the people
who took Mitch from us.

Do you know anything about my father?

You're Mitch Morgan's girl.

Well, look at you all grown up.

I said shut up.

He doesn't know what
happened to your father,

but he is going to help us find him.

This photo was taken
yesterday, in Siberia.

An abandoned Shepherd compound.

Wait, Shepherds...
Jamie, how did you find...

This was taken today.

Tell me what's changed.

Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Please.

It's a hangar.

And that's the shadow
from the open hangar door.

It means someone's there already.

But my dad.

If it's Shepherds and not the IADG...

Then we have to be ready for them.

Hello.

My name is Leanne Ducovny.

I'm chief executive
officer of Reiden Global.

And let me start by saying thank you

for taking the time to watch this video.

Now, I'm excited

because Reiden Global
has made a breakthrough

that we believe, with your help,

will put an end to
the sterility pandemic.

You want to hurry it up, Abe?

This should block the signal.

Like a Faraday cage.

Can we go now?

If this works.

Let's go, let's go.

Isaac, come on.

We have to hurry.

Go. Go, go, go, go.

You're working with the Shepherds now?

Teaming up with them
was the only chance I had

at getting you back.

I did what I had to.

Why would they bring you along?

They knew that you
would never trust them.

They needed a familiar face.

You know something.

About Blue Diaspora.

And they will do whatever it
takes to get it out of you.

That's the security system.

Unknown aircraft coming
on its final approach.

They're coming for Mitch.

- Well, go take care of it!
- Yes, sir.

Let's go, let's go.


I don't know what that
is, but this seems like

a good time to get out of here.

- Let's go.
- All right.

Oh.

How are you a cop?

It's been years...

Dylan.

A lot can change.

Tessa seems nice.

You so much as breathe
a word to her about me,

- I swear I will...
- Easy, easy, easy.

If you want to call yourself Dylan

and play hero in the badlands,

be my guest, okay?

I'm not here to change that.

But as somebody who knows a thing or two

about lying to the person that you love,

the sooner that you
come clean, the better.

What'd I miss?

Thank you.

Dylan was just saying how
lucky he is to have you.

Is that so?

You came an awful long way
to hear about our love life.

Look,

I want what you want.

To find the person who bombed
my precinct and your camp.

The woman you're looking for

is mid to late 30s.

Brown hair, dark skin, about five-seven.

- You've seen her?
- Just for a second.

We tracked her and found her
truck, but it was a dead end.

She left this behind.

Have you found anything
else with this symbol on it?

No.

Okay. I'm gonna need
to see where you found this.

- If we leave right now...
- There is no "we,"

Detective, okay?

So if you don't mind,

I have people back at
camp that need my help.

Look, I don't know what
the deal is with you two,

but it sounds complicated.

And Dylan's probably the
most uncomplicated guy I know.

Well, you just...

you don't know Dylan the way that I do.

We've boarded the plane.

Moving in.

Mansdale?

Run.

This isn't going
to work, you can barely stand.

We have to try.

Oh, is that right?

- Please. We were just...
- Shut up!

You... sit down.

No.

- I said sit... down.
- No.

He doesn't know any... ah!

Ow, ow.

Well, maybe he just
needs a little motivation.

No, no, no, no!

Hold this.

Let's give Daddy some space. Come on.

There's two outside by the...

Isaac, don't move.

Everyone stand still.

Why isn't it attacking?

It's looking for the egg.

Then that's give it to him.

It's too important.

It won't matter if we don't
make it out of here alive.

- Daddy! Daddy!
- Abe! Abe!

Daddy!

Daddy, are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm okay, Isaac.

Keep your leg elevated.

All right? Just take it easy.

Someone's calling for you.

Help with that one.

This is Dylan.

Dylan.

You look more like a Jackson to me.

Who is this?

It's me, Jackson.

You, your lions

and that adorable little
girlfriend of yours

have been chasing after me.

You have something of mine.

The disc.

Consider it a gift.

So you'll remember me when
your world crumbles around you.

Who do you think you are?

96 people are dead because of you.

You understand that?

- Why?
- I always imagined

you were smarter than you appeared.

Who are you?

You destroyed my world once.

Now it's my turn.

Yeah, well, let me tell
you something, okay?

You have no idea who you're up against.

You give me Blue Diaspora,

I give you your daughter. Easy.

But if you keep on playing dumb,

you are gonna wish

- you never woke up.
- No!

Aah! Dad, please, tell him! Dad, please!

Look, I-I... I told you.
I don't know what that is.

- You're a liar!
- Dad, tell him!

I'm not lying,

I don't know what that is.
I don't know how to help you.

Look, I will do anything you want,

just, d-don't hurt her.

- Do you love your daughter?
- Don't hurt her!

Do you want to see your daughter alive?!

- Don't hurt her.
- Help me!

- I can't help you!
- Two!

- Don't, don't, don't!
- One.

Don't.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I'm fine, I think.

You know how to use that? Do you?

Stop.

Dad?

- Dad, is that really you?
- Who the hell are you?

It's okay, I'm, I'm his
daughter, Clementine.

You are not Clementine. I am.

- What?
- Don't listen to her.

- Let's sh**t her and let's get out of here.
- What?

Dad, I came here to save you.

- Don't call me that.
- Dad.

- We need to get out of here.
- You either!

Dad, I know this is hard
to understand right now.

- Stop talking.
- Don't listen to her.

Stop talking, both of you, stop talking.

- Don't do it, Dad.
- Shut up. Shut up!

Why don't we all just take a breath,

and put the g*ns away.

You first.

See?

No g*n.

Now I'm gonna reach into my pocket,

- Dad. No. No.
- I can prove

- I'm your daughter.
- Keep your hand out...

Stay the hell out of this.

No, Dad!

My parking ticket.

Dad.

I didn't know you had it in you.

Who are you?

You're gonna tell me everything

about Blue Diaspora.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

Nice beard.

She called me.

That bitch called me.

Who called you?

The bomber.

What did she say?

Well, she knew my name.

She was taunting me.

Like it was personal.

Because it is.

I I.D.'ed the bomber

with, uh, with DNA off of
that disc that you guys found.

Her name is Abigail Westbrook.

This is her genetic profile.

Okay.

When I got the preliminary results,

I just assumed you must've
somehow contaminated the sample.

So I had my tech run the
tests again, but the results,

- the exact same.
- What are you saying?

You and this Abigail Westbrook
share multiple genetic markers.

That's why I thought it was
contaminated, but it wasn't.

Jackson, Abigail
Westbrook is your sister.

You sure you
know what you're doing?

The b*llet passed clean through.

So I'll have to watch it for infection,

but you're gonna be fine.

Well, if you're looking
for a second opinion,

I can take a look.

How you feeling?

Like I sh*t my daughter.

I see it, now.

I couldn't see it before, I'm sorry.

What?

You.

Given the circumstances,

I think I'll let it slide.

Maybe these will help.

Um, I'll leave you two alone.

Wait, Clem.

Don't worry, Dad.

Not going anywhere.

So...

how did you end up with the plane?

Well, we saved the world on this thing,

I thought I should
keep it in the family.

What happened?

Last thing I remember is, uh,

teeth and claws, ripping into me.

Whoever saved my life, they...

They didn't do it out of
the kindness of their hearts.

You were in Siberia.

At the edge of the world.

Whoever put you in that t*nk,

they didn't want anybody to find you.

They kept you away from me...

from the world, for ten years.

I'm going to find out who did this.

I'm gonna find out why.

I'm gonna make them pay.

Finally got him to fall asleep.

He's afraid the razorbacks will
get him while he's sleeping.

The world's become a dangerous place.

So many things we have
to protect him from.

We got lucky today.

Looking back, maybe we
should've gone with Clementine.

Sorry to disturb you, sir.

Can we come in?

Sure.

You all right?

We had a hybrid incident.

We'll alert IADG.

But that's not why we're here.

My kid's sleeping.

Mind if we talk in the kitchen?

- Yes, ma'am.
- It's this way.

If this isn't about the
hybrids, why are you here?

An emergency government protocol

has been initiated in
the tri-county area.

What protocol?

We have an introductory video

that explains it better than I could.

Hello. My name is Leanne Ducovny.

I'm chief executive
officer at Reiden Global.

And let me start by saying thank you

for watching this video.

I'm excited to tell
you that Reiden Global

has made a breakthrough,

that we believe, with your help,

will put an end to
the sterility pandemic.

- But sacrifices...
- What?

Will need to be made
for the greater good.

Which is the reason
that I'm addressing you.

Your child has been selected

to participate in our pilot program.

He or she will be safe in our custody.

Isaac!

- Ma'am...
- Hey, hey!

Isaac!

- Isaac!
- Isaac!

Isaac!

Mommy!

Daddy!

Please, God, please.
