03x11 - Cradles and Graves

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 labmade
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...

Clem's baby could solve
the sterility problem?

I have to inject this serum

into that t*nk now!

I don't trust you!

Sam!

You have the biodrive switch.

Why don't you just use it?

Because I don't need Mitch right now.

I need Mr. Duncan.

You're going to k*ll Abigail.

The eggs release toxic spores
when they're disturbed.

But keep a close eye on your
toxin meters just to be safe.

Green is good.

Red... you're probably dead.

A beacon was just activated in Japan.

I think this might be the cause,

like a dead man's switch.

Dariela,

I have the raw data,

but it's dense.

Upload it, quick.

Dad?

Jamie?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad!

Transmission cut off.

I can't reach Abe or
anyone on the plane.

These beacons are waking
up thousands of hybrids.

If we have any chance of stopping them,

we need the rest of that transmission.

How much of the team's intel
did we get before it cut off?

90%, but it's raw code.

We'll need a minute to make sense of it.

Nest activity detected in Hanoi.

And we've got a power
surge in Southern China.

Another beacon must be f*ring up.

- Near Hong Kong?
- Affirmative.

How did you know that?

Some of this code converts
to GPS coordinates.

It's the beacon locations.

Time to scramble teams.

Let's get those locations loaded.

Sir, even if we know
where the beacons are,

we don't know how to turn them off.

Then get back on the horn
with your former team

and figure it out.

Jackson.

Jackson. Jackson, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

I'm gonna go get help.

Abe?

My God.

Dad!

Jamie!

Grandpa!

We need help at this location.

Multiple injuries. Please send
an ambulance immediately.

Hello?

Anyone? Hello?

Clementine? It worked.

The baby is okay?

Sam, what are you doing here
and why are you locked up?

I heard g*nshots. Are you okay?

No!

I need your help.

Scramble blue team to Tokyo

and prepare gold team
to deploy to Adelaide.

Copy that. Right away.

Please tell me you have good news.

Not exactly.

I've created an algorithm
using the newest of beacons,

the hybrid egg hatch
rate observed in Seoul

and the known nest list to
come up with a timetable

- for the nest threshold.
- Nest threshold?

The point at which the
number of hybrids worldwide

permanently overwhelms
coalition defenses.

How much time do we have?

31 hours and 17 minutes.

Give or take seven minutes.

Welcome back.

Have you heard from anyone on the plane?

No, I just got the update.

- Why was their transmission cut off?
- Wind's changing.

Spores spreading south
from the Seoul nest.

Mandatory evacuations in place.

That's headed right to the airport.

They need to get in the air now.

No, it's too late for that.

Abigail.

Abigail did this.

Dariela.

Clem? Is that you?

Abigail was here. She att*cked everyone.

Paramedics just got here.

I'll let them in.

Clementine, do not open the door.

The air outside is contaminated.

Do not open the door.

Sam!

Sam, no!

What?

We cannot, under any
circumstances, open that door.

Okay, I brought the others to the lab,

pressurized the cabin,
shut down the main power.

But I still don't understand,

why don't we just get in the air?

Powering the main engine pulls
too much air into the plane.

We need to wait until we get
the allclear from Dariela.

She's sending a team in now
to deal with the spores.

Until then, it's just you and me.

Everyone upstairs is way past first aid.

This t*nk healed my
father once and our baby.

There's no way we're squeezing
them all into this t*nk.

I know. That's why we've got to bring

the t*nk to them.

Get these canisters up here.

What are they?

Concentrated t*nk serum.

Mix a 50/50 solution.

It'll cause a biochemical reaction

that'll speed up the healing process.

How do you know all this?

Before I went into the t*nk,

Jackson and I took it apart
to see how it worked.

Once the serum is hyperoxygenated,

it'll cause cell repair,

but first they need to breathe it in.

We need to fill these with the solution.

It needs to make it all
the way to their lungs.

This has to go into their lungs?

They'll drown.

That's the idea.

This won't heal them completely,
but it should get them

back on their feet.

- Are you sure about this?
- Just hold him down.

You're gonna be okay.

How long do we have to do this?

Three... two... one.

What happened?

Easy, easy.

I used t*nk concentrate
to speed up your healing.

You're gonna be okay.

Just take it slow.

You...

Where's Abigail?

You help her with this?

How? You left me locked in a cage.

He's working with Abigail, Clem.

She's brainwashed him.

It's not true.

Clem.

You're out of the t*nk.

Are you fullterm?

How long was I out?

He gave her something to
speed up her pregnancy.

You sped up her pregnancy? HHow?

Yes, with the hybrid growth factors.

You put hybrid goo in my daughter?

Was that not worth a little chat?

And...

who are you? Who'swho's this guy?

He's the baby's father.

How could you not remember that, Mitch?

'Cause Mitch never met Sam.

He was Duncan.

You turned off the biodrive
back at the compound.

He was Duncan

until right before Abigail att*cked us.

So, you had a chance to switch me back

and you didn't?

Is that why Abigail was resurrected?

Did Mr. Duncan do something to her?

Why would you do that?

To k*ll Abigail.

You weren't gonna do it.
You weren't gonna do it.

So I asked Duncan to do it and he did.

Or... or I thought that he did.

Okay. I've heard enough.

Clem, come on, let's go.

We got to get you to a real doctor.

You...

can't even look at you.

We can't leave. We're in quarantine,

surrounded by hybrid spores.

I turned the power off and
pressurized the plane,

but we have to wait until
Dariela sends a team

to deal with them.

WWWait a second.

Youyou pressurized ththe plane,

and turned the power off?

How long till Dariela's team gets here?

Five hours or so.

They're sending a plane from the States.

What, ""? What else is wrong?

If we don't have power,

the plane will never stay
pressurized that long.

Air will enter through the
overboard exhaust valve.

How long do we have?

Two hours.

Three, tops.

So we're two hours short.

Well, that's just perfect.

The baby seems to be
in the correct position.

But you're only two centimeters dilated.

Wherewhere do you think
you're going? No...

I haven't had a chance to
read any of those baby books.

But I have seen every episode
of Real Med New York,

so I know that two centimeters

means I've got at least
two commercial breaks

till I'm having this baby.

We are not basing your birth
plan on a reality TV show.

Wait a minute, she's probably right.

We have bigger problems.

Namely, the spores trying to
slink their way onto this plane.

I've got to to stop them, and
you've got to stop bleeding.

I'll help Clem.

I think you've been
quite enough help already.

Yeah, she's right.

Somebody should take a look at that.

I'll go check on the hybrid
samples that Jackson brou...

- Whoa.
- Abraham.

Are you okay?

Okay.

Easy, easy.

We got a problem here.

What is it?

Looks like a sucking chest wound.

We don't have any more of
that t*nk juice left, do we?

No, we used it all.

We'll do this the oldfashioned way.

We'll find a way to hold the spores off.

Okay. Okay. Easy does it.

Okay, go ahead.

We need something to reinforce
the overboard exhaust valve.

Part air filter, part shield.

The HVAC system might have
something that can...

Clem, stop.

Slow down.

You heard what Max said.

Yeah, that we have two hours,

not two seconds.

You need to breathe for a minute.

What was Jackson talking about?

How do you know Abigail?

Abigail is a friend.

I grew up with her.

On Pangaea.

You're a Shepherd?

My parents were Shepherds.

II never bought in.

After I left the island,
Abigail's the only person

I kept in touch with.

She's how I found out
that you and the baby

were in trouble.

Abigail's bad news.

That's one side of the story.

That's the only side of the story.

I can't believe you didn't
tell me you were a Shepherd.

I can't believe you didn't
tell me you were pregnant.

What we had in Boulder was real.

And then you just left, without a word.

Maybe something told me
I couldn't trust you.

Because I didn't tell
you where I grew up?

Clementine, you can trust me.

I'm going to be here for
you, for this baby.

Neither of us are gonna
be there for this baby

if we don't fix this plane.

It's all that matters now.

He is all that matters now.

To us and the world.

I'm fine.

The exhaust valve is back here.

The plane is still pressurized,
but as we lose pressure,

the sporeinfected air

will be able to get in.

Hey, are you sure you want to do that?

If it was compromised,
we'd be dead already.

Okay.

So what are you gonna do,

just wait down here until it turns red?

No.

You are.

Hey.

Jackson, what the hell?

If it gets close to red,

let us know.

So wwhat, I'ml'm a
canary in a coalmine?

I don't trust you, Jamie.

I didn't trust you when I got
on this plane in Mexico,

and nothing I have seen
has changed my mind.

And this, leaving Mitch as
Duncan to k*ll Abigail?

I understand, Jackson, but she
has taken countless lives.

And clearly, she was
going to k*ll again.

She's trying to end the world.

She was raised by a madman.

I knew it.

I knew it! All this time,
you've been trying to save her.

Jackson!

Damn it.

Jamie won't be calling
any more audibles...

Hey, what's going on?

You okay?

Not even remotely.

Would you hold still?

I can't breathe.

Because you got a hole the size
of Jersey in your chest cavity,

and every time you squirm,
it makes it worse.

Your bedside manner leaves
much to be desired, son.

What can I do to help?

I need Steve.

Who's Steve?

- He's, um...
- Steve.

Jamie's scorpion.

Its sting is a temporary paralytic.

Yeah, it's in the cage. Go, go grab it.

How do you know the name
of Jamie's scorpion?

Because my son and Jamie

have, very lively pillow talk.

Walls are thin.

Very thin.

Okay, shut up. Just...

You're gonna feel a bit of a sting.

Okay, on three. Ready?

One...

That a boy, Steve.

Yeah.

It's about three centimeters wide.

Twice as deep.

We're gonna need a solid patch...

anybody got a credit card?

I haven't seen a credit
card in over six years.

Mine's maxed out, don't
get any crazy ideas.

Here. Yeah.

Wipe.

Yeah. Go.

Okay.

Goodbye, frequent flier miles.

Well, you shouldn't have
gotten rid of the plane.

All right, looks like you
guys got things handled.

I'm gonna see if I can get any more info

off this dead man's switch.

There you go.

Looks pretty good.

Yeah.

Now to test it.

Dariela said the spores

seem to be waterbased,

with a volatile molecular structure.

Kind of like this bug spray.

Why don't you let me handle the
flammable part of this test?

Okay.

Good.

Look out.

Not good.

There we go. That should work.

Although what I'd like
to do is inject him

with some hybrid cooties,
see how he likes it.

Well, I believe that,

he was trying to help
Clementine and the baby.

In her special way, Jamie
was trying to help, too.

Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, wait.

You're just gonna leave him here?

Yeah, he'll be fine. I
got to go find Clem,

see if she's found a
way to make this plane

any less of a death trap.

Sam is with Clem.

I know, I know, you don't trust him,

but I can see it in his eyes.

She'll be fine. I mean... hey.

Come over here, let me
take a look at you.

No. No, Max, I'll be fine.

Yeah, right. No, come here.

Lay down here.

Now, you're not gonna
be any good to anybody,

you drop dead.

t*nk's healing only goes so far.

Mitch.

That's not comforting.

What?

g*nsh*t wound is fine.

Went through and through.

The other scars.

Yeah. Those.

Those are nothing.

It's these scars that bother you?

Max.

You glommed onto the
team for a few days,

now you think I'm gonna
let you turn this

into a family therapy session?

Come on, justjust glue me up.

Leave me alone.

You know what?

I think I have,

glommed on at just about the right time.

Free of the biodrive device,

family's about to add another
branch to ye old family tree.

Max?

Don't do what you're about to do.

Just humor me. I'm about
to be a greatgrandfather.

You know, there's...

nothing like the feeling of hope you get

when you have a new baby in your arms.

For one tiny moment,

everything is right with the world.

Trust me.

You're not gonna want to be alone then.

You're gonna want to share that moment

with the people that you love.

Okay, I think I'm gonna puke.

It's gonna take a whole
lot more than a new baby

to make everything right in the world.

You'll see.

Look, I know I messed up.

I know that what I did to you...

it was horrible.

And I'm sorry.

And I thought it was the
only way to get Abigail.

But you have every right to be mad.

You think I'm mad at you?

You think I'm mad that your
pathological obsession

almost got us all k*lled?

Almost got Clem k*lled?

I never meant for that to happen.

I don't care!

I don't care what you meant.

I'm not mad at you.

Because I'm not anything
at you, anymore.

Do you know what it was
like in that t*nk?

For ten years?

I had some dreams.

About you and... and me.

And they were... they were pretty good.

But now I know they don't mean anything.

Because... in real life,

whenever there's a sliver of hope,

just a little bit of light,

the plane comes falling out of the sky.

Or, some maniac sterilizes the world,

or monsters try and tear out my throat.

Whenever there's one
little bit of light,

darkness just swoops back in.

But now it's worse.

Because... now...

you're the darkness.

The one person I thought I could trust.

You...

are the darkness.

Please tell me you found something.

We have a team moving in on
the Tokyo beacon right now.

Our Internet is down
because the power is off.

So does he have anything?

Yeah, so?

Blue team, continue on course.

You need to keep your eyes low.

You're looking for a
suitcase or a small box.

Abigail's beacons must
have a power source, okay?

- If we turn it off...
- No Internet.

No signal. We don't have
to destroy the beacons,

we just have to cut their power.

Does your team have EMPs?

They have shock grenades
that double as EMPs.

Stay with me.

The team is closing in on the signal.

As soon as we shut this thing down,

the team will head to
Seoul and evac you guys.

Okay, guys, you should
be right on top of it.

Go, go, go!

What is that?

Sir,

you need to see this.

Is that the beacon?

It's massive.

We can't get close.

There's some sort of sonic shield.

That explains how the signal

is reaching so many nests.

Okay, look, same principle applies.

We have to just cut the power somehow.

Team leader, do you see a power supply?

I found a power cable!

Cut it now. Do you copy?

Copy. Cutting the cable.

We just lost Tokyo.

Hello?

I couldn't do it, Tess.

I tried, but I... couldn't stop Abigail.

Jackson, where are you?

It's really happening.

Abigail's beacons are going
off all over the world,

thousands of hybrids about to att*ck,

and we can't stop 'em.

I'm sure you'll figure out a way.

We tried.

And we lost Tokyo.

The entire city.

Gone.


All those people.

Where are you?

I can help.

We're on a runway.

In South Korea.

Surrounded by toxic spores.

The rescue team that was
supposed to come get us

just blew up in Tokyo.

I need you to do something
for me, though.

Anything.

Find my sister.

And I need you to stop her.

End this.

Jackson? Okay, listen to me.

You...

You know, you break it, you buy it, kid.

My shield idea failed.

Is that a contraction?

I'm missing something.

There has to be something here

to help keep the spores out.

Well, Max is experimenting
with that tentacle byproduct

that the IADG was using in the nests.

You don't know that will work.

You don't know it won't.

I'm gonna be a terrible mother.

I haven't even delivered

and I'm already failing him.

Well, see, that right
there is what tells me

you're gonna be a great mother.

'Cause you're already feeling guilty.

Bad parents don't feel guilt.

They just drink and watch cable news.

He can't be born into a tomb.

He has to survive.

He will.

I'm serious. I need your word.

No matter what...

he comes first.

Okay. That's it.

Contractions are less
than 30 seconds apart.

We got to go.

I'm having this baby?

You're having this baby.

Just keep talking.

- Distract me.
- Okay.

Um...

Diddid I ever tell you
about the Suriname toad?

The mother keeps the babies

underneath the skin of her
back, and so, at birth,

they have to punch their way out.

Never mind. Stop talking!

Candles, lanterns, whiskey?

Yes, please.

No, I was talking about her.

It's not like we can
do an epidural here.

No, no whiskey.

No cable news.

Her contractions are too fast.

What do you mean, what
do you mean too fast?

They should be slower, longer by now.

Haven't you ever
delivered a baby before?

- No, not a human one. Have you?
- All right,

look, we have to keep her calm,

keep her heart rate down.

Now, hopefully that'll slow
down her contractions, okay?

Yeah. All right, calm her. Um...

Um...

I remember the day you were born.

I got this, um...

Parking ticket. Almost missed it.

Priceless.

Boulder.

The night we met.

You were the most beautiful
girl I'd ever seen.

We bought popcorn from
that guy in the top hat,

watched the family of ducks.

The mother and her babies.

I told you I wanted a family someday.

I was wrong.

You can do this.

Trust me.

- Preen glands.
- What?

Ducks.

- Good thinking. Good thinking, son.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ducks use oil from their preen glands

toto keep water off their feathers.

- That's what we were missing.
- That'sthat's...

That'sthat's... we don't need a shield.

That... we need to oil up a filter.

Turn on the auxiliary power unit.

Yep. And wait. No, no, no, no.

Youyou stay with Clem.

I'lll'll take care,
I'll take care of this.

Honey, you're doing great.

I love you.

I'm so proud of you.

Any word from your former team?

I think they're at a dead end.

- No such thing.
- Major Williams.

Tessa, you're with the IADG?

I was. Story for another day.

I need you to get Jackson
on the horn for me.

I have an idea.

Something's wrong.

Um... mmaybe you need
to get on your feet.

Let'slet's get you up and moving, okay?

No.

Don't move her.

Are you experiencing pain
in your lower abdomen?

Yes.

Here?

What? What is it?

I can't be sure without
all of my equipment,

but it could be a clot.

What does that mean?

A blood clot pressing down

on the baby is very dangerous.

If we don't force a delivery now,

the baby may not survive.

- Okay. LLet's do that.
- Well.

Forcing a delivery can also

disrupt the clot and cause it
to burst after the baby's born,

which can be extremely
dangerous for the mother.

Well, that means...

No. Absolutely not. Think
of something else.

Under these circumstances,
I'm not sure...

- Think of something else!
- I'm with him, we're not doing it.

Yes, we are. This baby
is all that matters now.

- Clementine, listen, listen to me.
- Dad...

you said I'd be a good mother.

Let me try.

I mixed up this solution

which should speed up your contractions.

Hurry. This doesn't feel right.

What happens now?

Now comes the hard part.

Dariela?

Nope. Not Dariela.

Tessa?

What are you doing at the IADG?

Keeping you from giving up.

There's a difference

between giving up and
running out of time.

Well, from where I'm sitting,
the clock's still ticking.

Dariela and Logan updated me

on the dead man's switch.

Okay. I've looked at it

for hours.

As Jackson.

- Yeah.
- You've been saying all along how

maybe you're not that different
from your father and sister.

What if it's time you put
that to your advantage?

Don't look at the code as Jackson.

Try looking at it like an Oz.

Your sister learned a
lot from your father.

You've learned a lot from him, too.

Follow those ants.

I'm putting you on speaker.

My dad used to tell these terrible jokes

when he was working,
and there was this one

that he used to say.

What did the aardvark
say to the taxi driver?

Follow... those ants.

I think I just found a way

to Abigail's beacon operating system.

Can you reprogram them,
or shut them down?

I'm not sure that this computer
can handle this software.

What's happening?

Hey. Whoa.

Whoa.

Okay, the dead man's
switch is okay, but...

this software is insane.

Wewe need a much larger processor.

We need aaa...

a bigger computer.

The IADG has a superprocessor
that should work.

Jackson, you need to get
that dead man's switch

here to command.

Our team will be there in an hour

to neutralize the spores.

We don't have an hour.

The spores will be here in 15 minutes.

Max, how is everyone?

How's Clem?

She's a Morgan. She's,
stubborn as hell,

but that's not gonna count for much

unless I get this plane repressurized.

Do you mind if I borrow your air horn?
Thanks.

You made a filter.

Yeah, hydraulic fluid.

The oil's gonna trap the spores,
and let the air through.

And Mitch figured it out, but...

I need to find out

where the, auxiliary power unit is.

- The APU?
- Yeah.

There's an access panel
in the electrical room,

but you can't do that.

If you change the filter, you'll
be exposed to the spores.

Spores have been diffused for hours.

II should be fine.

You don't know that.

Look, you've had to make a
lot of tough decisions.

They've come out of love and pain.

Mitch will realize that, too.

So try not to b*at yourself up so much.

Max...

Look.

Max...

You've been good for my son.

Take care of him for me.

No, no, Max! Max!

Come back.

Okay, Clementine, push.

Okay. Okay, breathe.

Breathe.

Okay. Okay, now, push.

No, I can't do it.

You are doing this.

Right now.

Okay, one more big push.

Push!

He's here.

He's here.

He's here.

Hi.

Hey. Welcome to the world, little guy.

It's a little messed up right now.

But it's gonna get a whole lot better,

now that you're here.

The auxiliary power's on.

Max did it.

The clot has passed.

Thank God.

Come on.

Get you back to mama.

Hi.

Thanks, Dad.

Couldn't have done it without you.

Can you test him?

For the CLM protein, see
if your theory works.

Sure.

Yeah.

We're gonna see if you
can save the world.

Okay?

Shh...

Good job.

You're so brave.

You're so brave.

It's a boy.

He's perfect.

Where's Grandpa?

He should be back by now.

I'll go look for him.

Max?

Max?

Hey.

Max?

- You okay?
- Hey.

Hey.

Your idea worked.

Yeah.

Well, only because you made it work.

What do you know.

Finally figured a way
to work together.

I heard the baby. I heard the baby.

Yep. He's here.

You tell him I said hello.

No.

You're gonna tell him yourself.

Come on.

Easy.

Okay.

Spores are down.

All clear. That's your window.

Time to save the world, genius.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

Say hello to your greatgrandson.

Yeah.

Um, Clem had the baby.

And he's...

he's beautiful.

And healthy and...

perfect.

And in a few hours, he's
gonna save the whole world.

So everybody's okay?

Yeah. Um, Clem's fine.
She's doing great.

And Max, he got the power back on.

Everybody's fine.
