The party never stops at the Diyanisis
Who wants to see some wet t-shirts?
Yeah, baby
What about me, lover?
I got you girl
Spring break is awesome.
Lenny
Are you okay? Are you all right?
Someon call 911 Greg, greg. Help.
Are you okay? What happened to him?
Lenny?
- Hate this time of year - Yeah, spring break sucks
Pulse ox is tanking This kid doesn't have much time
- Damn it V-fib - I got it
200 to start
Charging 200
Clear
Nothing Cramp it up
Charging 250
Clear
Still nothing
Mine's a V-fib, too, here we go again.
Charging 200
Clear
They're not responding
It's time to call it
Subject number 2 is Leonard Reese
Male, caucasian, 5-foot-11
No significant birthmarks or moles
Subject has a tattoo over his left shoulder blade
In the form of a dagger piercing a pair of cherries
Tasteful
I'll now begin the internal examination
Where the hell am I?
Greg ? Greg
- We need some help in here - What did you do to us?
Can I get some help in here?
What did you do?
Tanner still misses you
Yeah, well, the feeling's mutual
But, mm, it wouldn't have been right to hold onto him after my job change
I'm never at home
And he needs his exercise
Don't you, boy?
Hey, the last time you were in town,
someone from the Congressional Science and Technology
Committee asked you out On a little date
You know, didn't feel right
You know, it's been 2 years since Maggie died
Don't you think it's time to move on?
Anna, I'm here as a friend
I'm not one of your psychiatric patients, okay?
I know And I'm asking out of concern, as a friend
Come on, boy
If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine But, uh, how else
How else can I, uh, deal with my grief?
I am dealing with it
I am
I'm just dealing with it in my own way
And that doesn't involve A lot of
crying on people's shoulders and analyzing feelings, Okay?
What does it involve?
Hood
- What happened to the weekend off? - Cut short
Some college kids in Daytona Beach Died of mysterious causes
then came back to life
Excuse us
What does it involve?
It involves this
Season 1, Episode 9 Flesh
Audrey Simone, internal medicine
So you're the FBI's go-to guy for when the dead come back to life?
Well, not exactly, but they, uh, come to me with a variety of problems
Well, I can't wait to Hear you explain this
Lenny Reese, age 21
He spontaneously recovered from his apparent death 12 hours ago
We've never seen anything like it
- Please, get me out of here - Lenny
I'm serious, man
I woke up in a room full of dead people
I saw one of my best friends cut open while his heart was still beating
- Greg McCarthy? - Yes
Uh, now, w-whatever I need to do to get out of here...
You need to tell me what you were doing yesterday
Well, um, we had just finished up Midterms at Maryland State,
and a bunch of us came down here to de-stress a little, you know?
Drink some beers, hook up with some hotties
Just party, man
What did you and Greg do in common the past 24 hours?
The only thing that Greg and I shared in the past 24 hours was a
runner-up Miss Teen USA
- She consented to that? - Hell yeah
What's her name?
Tabitha, uh, Jackson I'm not... I'm not sure
Will you excuse us for a second?
If the only common thread between the 2 victims is sex with the same girl,
then we're looking at sexually transmitted infection
That instantly slowed their heartbeats down to next to nothing?
Well, yeah, it's possible
Could be toxic shock syndrome which could result from
bacteria passed through intercourse
Could lead to heart and lung failure, even a coma
I'll have Dr Simone check for it
If it was that, what woke him up from the coma?
Well, find the girl they slept with, we could find the answer
The cops said I had to stay here until I talked to you guys
Well, now I talked to you, so I'm- I'm free to go, right?
Uh, you're at the center of a public health crisis
We got to check you out, make sure you're okay
I'm fine
Sorry, but we've got to run you through the system, get 100% positive ID
Positive ID? What the hell are you talking about?
You know exactly who I am I'm Leonard Reese
Maybe Maybe not
Leonard If that is your real name
We'll check your fingerprints Your DNA see what they tell us
That's ridiculous
No, that's federal procedure
I need to track down a person of interest, Tabitha Jackson
Oh, my God
No
No, No
Tabitha Jackson checked in here 2 nights ago
This brings back memories
Really? You were something of a party girl?
That information is on a need-to-know basis
You know, last week, all my hard work paid off
Aced exams
I just thought I would reward myself
You know, like, blow off some steam
Do you remember what happened?
I was so drunk
God, it was so stupid
I can't believe there were 2 of them
Tabitha...
I'm not a police officer, I'm not really Sure how to ask you this, but, um...
I need to know something about your sexual history
- What? - I'm sorry
Those 2 boys... may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease,
and we don't know where it's from
But I can count on my hand how many People... that I've had sex with
I'm telling you, I'm not this girl
We believe you, okay? We believe you
Okay, I'm gonna take you to the hospital now, okay ? Let's go
Do you want us to call your parents?
- Do we have to? - No, we don't have to
I think you should
I think they'd want to know so they could be here for you
- Just keep walking, babe - But that's...
- that's one of them - I know
It's okay, all right, don't worry, it's okay.
You all right, Tabitha?
Son of a bitch
He acts like nothing had ever... ever happened
Tabitha
We need a doctor over here, now
Pulse ox tanking She's asystole Let's go
Nope She's got a heartbeat
That's just a residual sir Please stand back
No, it's not, I don't think shocking her is gonna help
I already told you, stand back
- Dr. Simone - Dr. Simone, please
Defribilator is charging 200
Defibrillation did nothing for Lenny and Greg, this is no different
- Clear - Jennifer, stop
The heartbeat's regular, but impossibly slow, 5 beats per minute?
That's why the medics thought Greg and Lenny were dead
5 beats a minute?
That's, like, one beat every 12 seconds
What's her body temperature?
- It's only 75 - 75?
It's as if she's turned ectothermic
Well, that's not consistent with toxic shock syndrome
It's not consistent with anything else I've ever encountered, either
Any body that's that cold with a heartbeat that slow...
that's not a coma
That's suspended animation
Excuse me, can you help us? We're trying to find our daughter
Tabitha Jackson?
Oh, uh, I'm Special Agent Young
I'm the one who called you yesterday
Your daughter is stable now
- Let me walk you to her room - Yes, please, thank you
- That's great... - Yeah.
That's...
All right, you got to flip, Belinda
All right flip it Let's see, oh all right
- Come on, down the hatch - I can't
Yes, you can, come on drink up, Belinda You have to
Oh, I know, I know Rules are rules
- But I thought the rules were... - Come on, come on
Less thinking, more drinking
See? It's not that bad, right?
I just got the weirdest message from Our boy Lenny saying Greg is dead?
All right, I'm not getting Punked again by that dude
Remember April Fools?
- Yeah, you're probably right - Yeah
And hey, you know what, if they want to miss out on this, fine by me
- More for us - Absolutely
Boo-yah
I hate playing kings
I love playing you
Only 2 kings tonight, sweetheart
Lucky for you, we know how to treat a queen
- Oh, yeah? - Let me show you
Oh, hi, Rachel
You don't mind if I call you Rachel, do you, agent Young?
Good news for both of us, Lenny
You seem to be fine, so you're no Longer under Federal supervision
But the nurses say that you've been harassing them
So my advice to you is stay out of trouble
or next time you won't be in A hospital bed, you'll be in jail
God, you're beautiful
A woman like you FBI agent
Bet you've been through a lot, huh?
You know, after my brush with death, the things that I've seen,
the friend that I lost
It's not a doctor that I need, if you know what I mean
I don't know what turns me on more...
The fact that you might be diseased or that you got a girl drunk
so you and your buddy could gang bang her
You are a bitch And I'm out of here
Lenny is suffering from something Called necrotizing fasciitis
more commonly known as flesh-eating bacteria
Sounds almost as disgusting as it looks What causes it?
Well, actually, it's the same strep A bacteria that
causes common diseases like tonsillitis and strep throat
Change of plans?
We're going somewhere else
Pet store
Now, little known fact about strep A bacteria
In addition to causing Necrotizing fasciitis
it naturally produces Hydrogen sulfide
Watch this
Uh, Hood you can wake him up, right?
No, I just murdered him
What kind of scientist do you think I am, Rachel?
No, at this dosage All hydrogen sulfide does
Is induces a state of suspended animation
Just like Lenny and Greg
And now Tabitha Jackson
Mickey's breathing is reduced to just a few breaths a minute
His metabolism slows to a crawl
When normal air is reintroduced
Mickey?
Mickey comes back to life
So someone dosed our victims with hydrogen sulfide gas
Not really I think the strep A bacteria in their bodies
somehow directly released hydrogen sulfide into their bloodstream
- Suspended animation - That's right
So, you're telling me that if we revive Tabitha Jackson,
she'll come down with a case of necrotizing fasciitis
It's quite simple, think of it as a 2 stage process, like a cavity in a tooth
Stage one's just a hole
Without intervention, it proceeds to stage 2
When infection sets in, it spreads out until it devours everything
So we need to prevent Tabitha Jackson's case from developing to stage 2,
- keeping her in suspended animation - Yeah
Until we find out what's causing it and we can find out how to stop it
And we do this by prolonging her current state?
Well, it doesn't appear to be causing Any long-term damage to the body so far
Well, I suppose we could try Ice water immersion
We have a few tubs in the back- we could use one of those
Good Keep her as cold as possible
Listen, we're smack in the middle of spring break
If this thing is spread through sexual contact
you better start preparing for a lot more cases just like Tabitha
Belinda
Are you okay?
Belinda
You got a condom?
Oh, come on, Kayla
You don't need protection from me
Sorry, babe No condom, no nasty
Lucky you
Wake up, sexy.
Hey.
Wake up
Oh, my God
Oh, my God Help
Somebody help us Help
So I'm not gonna get sick?
Not from Seth
Thanks to the fact that you were...
responsible enough to use some protection
Guess my party's over, huh?
For now
Screening your calls?
Let me guess
The dog sitter?
She's a professor of psychiatry Actually
So are you seeing her?
No, she was a friend of my wife
I meant as a psychiatrist
Oh, no, not that either
When are you gonna tell her the dog was just a ruse to spend more time with her
Tanner is not a ruse
Could have fooled me
- Deadly form of flesh-eating - Rashel
bacteria were reported in Daytona Beach today
The bacteria is believed to spread through sexual contact
To prevent a possible epidemic,
the County is prohibiting the service of alcohol after 8:00 PM
and the 10 PM curfew is being enforced on all residents of Voluisa County
including spring break visitors
Its good to see the local health department is helping out
But it's not enough
Yeah
We have 2 more victims in suspended animation
Belinda Shea and Seth Sandel
How are they holding up?
Well, we're monitoring their vitals continually
To prevent hypothermia So far, so good
You got any more tubs?
No, we're not equipped to handle This sort of thing on a large scale
- It may be getting larger - Well, what can we do?
Our entire infrastcture is built around maintaining a body temperature of 98.6
Not 70
With one pretty major exception
What's the coldest place in the building?
Dr. Hood, the temperature of our morgue is kept at 36 degrees at all times
- Can you... - Sure.
She looks like she's already dead
She's not, Mr Jackson
This could help keep her alive
If she wakes up now, she's gonna be in terrible danger,
but if we can somehow crack the code of the bacteria that made her sick,
we should be able to engineer a cure
How long would that take?
I wish I knew
Rachel, sit down I want to show you something
This is the DNA sequence Of normal strep A
This is the DNA sequence Of the new bacteria
It looks a lot shorter
Yeah, it's a lot simpler, too
It's got less than half the number of base pairs
What does that mean?
It's got no junk DNA
the portions of the DNA That serve no identifiable purpose
Every natural organism has junk DNA
So the bacteria infecting the kids is manmade
Yeah The good thing about that is
If someone created it then we'll know how to destroy it
I'm gonna have the hospital geneticist build me a gene map of the bacteria
It's kind of a like A forensic scientist
putting together the pieces of an exploded bomb
If we do that
We'll have a shot at tracing it to its creator
Exactly
Any signs of the bacteria?
No
So far, so good
Wait, wait.
What is it?
The autopsy photo of our first victim, Greg McCarthy
I remember something
All the male victims had the same daggers and cherries tat
I looked into it
It wasn't a fraternity tattoo
It's got nothing to do with Maryland State University
or any of its sports teams
The dagger and cherries?
When these guys were so proud of taking advantage of young women,
maybe one of them crossed the line, got busted
I'm gonna have The National Crime Information Center
To do a cross-search of all our male victims and sex crimes
What's this?
Hot off the press
Gene map of our manmade bacteria
Our bone parts
That's right
Now every gene here has a purpose
seeings it was built and designed for a reason
So what have we got?
We got
resistance to ultraviolet rays, resistance to radiation,
tolerance for oxygen loss, tolerance for...
extreme cold
What is it?
Space
The suspended animation this bacteria causes
could conceivably allow someone To survive long periods in space
Are you saying our bomb was built by NASA?
It's not a bad guess
I'm shocked you found Chronos-X-Coli outside these walls
Chronos-X-Coli?
It's the name of our hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria
X as in experimental
And "Chronos" as in "The Greek God Of Time"
Exactly Our goal here,
is to enable astronauts To travel to
destinations that would otherwise remain out of reach
Now, we may not see spaceflight Utilizing suspended animation
in our own lifetimes but our children will
Well, unfortunately, there's a few college-age children who won't, Dr West
And it appears to be associated with the work you're doing in this lab
I'm sorry
This is the Space Science Center not,
some biological warfare facility In the former Soviet Union
My people don't sell their wares on the black market
And while the bacteria found in your victims does match Chronos-X-Coli,
Chronos-X-Coli wasn't designed to cause necrotizing fasciitis,
and that's actually what's harming your victims, not suspended animation
There's no record of a break-in
or reports of stolen materials in the past 3 years
That's 'cause, like I said, that kind of thing doesn't happen here
Dr West, when I was analyzing your Chronos-X-Coli's DNA,
there was one gene I couldn't quite work out
It's an apoptotic gene, I think
It's a built-in failsafe, the gene designed to initiate cell suicide
Exactly
- Your built-in self-destruct mechanism - Yeah
Well, right now have innocent victims that are lying in hospital,
and there's a possibility that your failsafe could help cure them
Tell us how it works?
I wish I could help you, Dr Hood, I truly do, but I can't
National security regulations make it impossible
The information you're asking for falls under the heading,
federal proprietary technology,
and I can't share that with you
You understand young people's lives are at risk?
Yes, I'm aware of that
I'm also aware that we don't pick and choose where we want the law to apply
It applies all the time or it means nothing
It applies until we get a federal Court order that says it doesn't
Hopefully, no one else will be dead by then
We'll see ourselves out
How long's it gonna take to get a court order?
If things work out, we could have it by midnight
Let's hope
Agent Young
Okay, thanks Got it
Get this
It turns out Lenny Reese his buddy Greg McCarthy
and our latest victim Seth Sandel
were all accused of gang-raping a girl
here in Daytona during spring break last year,
and they all got off
So maybe it isn't an epidemic
Maybe it's revenge
If that is the case, it's not over yet
There's a 4th suspect Accused of the same crime
Rapist or not, we better find him before the killer does
Yeah
We do know, the decease is fatal and is contracted by sexual contacts
The victims include 3 male students visiting from Maryland State University
We're reporting from Daytona Community Hospital
Back to you
- Uh, I gotta go - Hey, are you walking away from me?
- Um, yes - Hey
Okay, thank you, nurse
Nothing more we can do, Dr Hood
4 accused rapists
Lenny and Greg are dead
And one in suspended animation- Seth Sandel
What do we know about the 4th?
His name is Derek Kenin
He attended Maryland State with Lenny, Greg and Seth
Rape charges were thrown out due to lack of evidence
The victim was local?
That's right Julia Taylor, age 19
If any one wanted revenge it'd be her
Yeah, but I doubt a 19-year-old would have been able to get pass
Of federal wall Of proprietary technology
or convert Chronos-X-Coli into A biological weapon
Maybe she had help
So Julia Taylor still lives at home
You go through that kind of trauma, you just look for someplace safe
I don't understand
The case was closed
We've reopened it
2 of the 4 accused are dead
A third is very sick
So you're not here about the rape?
You're investigating murder?
2 murders, possibly more
Wait a minute
You think Julia had something to do with this?
- Mrs Taylor - Unbelievable
You're treating my daughter as A suspect?
Here's your suspect
Why don't you lock her up And throw away the key
I'm sorry, Mrs Taylor
We didn't know
When the DA said it would just be "he said, she said",
she took it really hard
Blamed herself
It took so much just to come forward
and then to be labeled A slut and a liar
The doctors gave her a prescription for her depression, but it didn't work
She started drinking instead
One night she drank too much and tried to drive home
Crashed into a divider And never woke up
So you brought her home?
This is better for her anyway
To be where she's loved
This is all her stuff?
Yes
Would you mind?
No
Pure silica fiber
It's light enough for flight but strong enough for
Withstanding G-forces
Mrs Taylor, this is a space shuttle tile
Do you know anyone who works at NASA?
My ex-husband
It was a gift from him- Julia's father Henry
Henry West?
Yes
Excuse me
This is Special Agent Young
I need to locate Dr Henry West
I'm really sorry for Any trouble we've caused
- I wish you and your daughter well - Thank you
All right, keep me posted
West disappeared
He left the lab and hasn't gone home
That's why he stonewalled us
With his daughter in a coma, I guess it seemed appropriate
Put the rapists in the same state
then administer a flesh-eating disease to ravagers of the flesh
But he didn't get it quite right
Innocent girls are dying
There's no justice in that
Maybe he wasn't aware of the potential for sexual transmission
Or maybe he just didn't care
I have the Bureau tracking the GPS on Derek Kenin's cell phone
Derek's the only rape suspect who hasn't been infected yet
We find him, we find West
No, I can't wait until tomorrow
I need to go home now
Okay, all right, what about a different airline?
Well, can't you just do something?
I mean- all right, just listen to me
Just listen to me, okay?
Listen to me
No, please, don't put me on hold
Come on
Don't move
Stay back Stay back
Dr West
You're too late
It's over
He was the last one
Stay back
My little girl is
gone
My life is just a memory
Everything I've done- I'm not sorry
Tell me about the fail-safe
How does the organism destroy itself?
Come on, tell me
Why?
So you could save a bunch of rapists?
- No - No
No
Dr West, no.
Hood
I need 2 ambulances
415 River Street
Shark Cove Hotel, now
You infected more than rapists, Henry
The infection spread through sexual contact
Those boys, they infected At least 2 innocent girls
Girls just like your daughter Julia
These girls, they had nothing to do with what happened to Julia
They don't deserve the suffering any more than she did, Come on
This can't be what you wanted
What, you need a pen?
Here you go
You want to write on my hand?
Okay, is that an "A"?
AG
The periodic table of elements
AG is the symbol for silver
Is it silver?
It's called colloidal silver
Until the 1930s, it was quite a widely used antibiotic
Now it's more commonly known as A dietary supplement
But its value here is as a trigger for the fail-safe gene inside the bacteria
It should cause the bacteria to destroy itself
The only thing is, for the silver to work, um, the blood needs to circulate
So we're going to have to wake them up
But if we wake them up
then we wake up the flesh-eating bacteria and then they they die
Isn't that what you told us before?
Personally I believe it's worth the risk
Well, it's been 48 hours and there has been no sign of the flesh-eating bacteria
- Thank you both - Dr Hood
Thanks for everything
I'm sorry I ever doubted you
Oh, I understand
What I was suggesting did sound a little crazy
I'm just glad your daughter's okay
Will you excuse me?
There's something I have to do
Thanks again
Come on, Tanner
Hey, buddy
Anna?
Yeah, it's Jacob
Oh, uh, I was thinking, um
I, uh
I really enjoy our conversations and, um
I kind of regret the... the way the last one ended
Me too
Want to try again?
Great
Well, how about this, um,
I'm going to be passing through Stanford sometime soon
Sure, if you got the time
You know, I'd like that, too
Yeah, I got to go
Yeah, no, I got to go
Bye
Professor Yang?
Yeah
Good for you
I think so
