Humanity's survival was never certain.
We came close to perishing many times before.
In the 1300s, the bubonic plague killed
over 20% of the humans on the globe.
It took 300 years to restore
the world's population.
Later, the Spanish flu infected more than
half the people on Earth
and killed 75 million
before we were able to recover.
And then science rose,
and humanity flourished.
The population soared to more than 7 billion.
Our advancements brought us all closer together.
We lost our fear.
We believed we no longer had any predators.
We believed in the primacy of science and technology.
It's beautiful, Mike. It really is.
Yeah...
But 41 days was all it took
from the day an airplane arrived carrying this plague
to the moment mankind stood on the precipice of destruction.
Humanity teetered on the edge of the abyss.
All it needed was one small push,
or a final, last-ditch rescue.
Out of my way!
All clear.
You take the left.
What's that? Eyes 3 o'clock.
I have broken with the Master once and for all.
You sent him a letter of resignation?
In a manner of speaking.
I ambushed Eichhorst and riddled him with silver bullets.
Is... Eichhorst dead?
He crawled away wounded, but it's only a matter of time.
He is no longer of any consequence.
Get the hell out of here!
I also discovered what the mysterious cargo was
on board the Aurora Cutlass.
- A nuclear weapon. - There is a second
now safely in my possession.
- What does he need a second for? - I know it is
essential to complete the Master's plan and, as such,
he will do whatever it takes to get it back.
Without Eichhorst,
the Master has to retrieve it himself...
You want to know who the Master is?
Get your team together as soon as possible
and be ready to ambush him at Stoneheart.
He'll be coming for my throat.
You're playing a very dangerous game, Eldritch.
No other choice, Abraham.
One final spin of the wheel.
Now, this is the end game for both of us.
One way or the other.
Master.
Whoa! Who do we have here?
- What is that?
Is that a mask?
My God! It's trying to pass for human.
I haven't ever seen one like this before.
I want the head for my collection.
God! You killed him! We're human!
Can't you...?
Get out of here!
Get me that flag.
Quick, I'm timing you. Go!
Hey there. Are you OK?
Are you alone?
Where are your parents?
You shouldn't be out here by yourself.
Family?
Just leave me alone.
I have a son your age. We're leaving the city.
Everybody is.
You can come with us.
- Stop!
Shit!
No! Don't shoot her!
GO!
I know this is sudden, but we must move quickly.
This might be our best opportunity ever.
Ephraim, you're just in time. Come.
- What do you want? - I'm here to help.
We don't need you, Doc.
Enough! Only if we all work together,
do we have any chance to stop this, or we're all gonna die.
If you don't want to cooperate, then leave.
Go, now, any of you!
- What do you want me to do? - Dutch will take
the device you both developed and set it up here,
one floor below the penthouse, in the security office.
It's close enough to be in range, and I can use
the security cameras to monitor the Master's arrival.
Eph, you can accompany me up to Palmer's penthouse.
As soon as the Master arrives, Dutch will activate
the device, incapacitating him.
Fet will bring in the box,
and then you, me,
Fet, and Mr. Quinlan
will force him inside it
where the silver will trap him forever.
Then we'll transfer the Master to a tugboat,
sail out to the North Atlantic
and sink him.
Then it's open season on munchers.
Great!
Let's sink the son of a bitch.
We're coming in now.
Main 1, main 2 on location.
Mr. Duncan, put men on the doors.
Setrakian and his people must be admitted as soon as they arrive.
- Get down!
Mr. Duncan!
Aaah!
Aaaah!
Aaargh!
Aaaah!
You!
You stole something that is mine.
That is ours.
It may please you to know
you chose a partner as wily and as cutthroat as you are.
The bomb is in my safe.
I alone know the combination.
We must work together now.
- Perhaps it is
in my best interest not to destroy you.
I shall abide by the terms
of our original agreement.
No, wait.
Wait. No.
Eldritch Palmer,
eternal life is now yours.
What's going on here?
I heard about the man in the car.
- He was gonna shoot her. - Zack!
- It wasn't my fault! - Zachary,
you did the right thing.
I did?
You're not mad?
Mad? Being turned
is an act of great beauty, Zack.
- It is? - Of course.
Why haven't I been turned?
I want to turn you.
I do very much,
but the Master,
in his wisdom, has other plans.
And Dad?
I'd love nothing more than for your father to join us,
but your father is following his own path,
as he always does.
I'm very proud of you for what you did today.
Both of you.
And so is the Master.
Speaking of which...
get your things together,
we're leaving here.
Where are we going now?
The Master has revealed himself,
and we are going to join him.
You know, at first, I wondered why the professor
wanted you up in Palmer's penthouse
with him, but now I think I got it.
Keep the weakest link close.
You gotta hit me? Either with your fist
or with insults. Did nothing Setrakian said land with you?
(Distant Get away! Go! Go!
- I guess not. - You know what?
After this is done, we'll never have to see each other again.
- I guess we agree on one thing. - Yeah.
What, you gonna fight me too?
You made it very clear that it was over between us.
Not as clear as you made it.
You have a very high opinion
of your own moral compass, don't you?
God forbid somebody do something you disagree with.
You mean, like sleep with every other person I meet?
Sanctimonious, hypocritical prick!
Why,
mein Master, have you taken his form?
For what purpose, my Lord?
A necessary ruse.
And I now possess all of Palmer's knowledge
and memories. Thus,
using Palmer's memories,
I have located the other nuclear device.
- Where is it? - Here.
Your conquest is assured, my Lord.
My time is at an end.
Release me.
My most loyal and faithful servant,
I know my visage troubles you,
but your talents are more necessary than ever.
You are far too valuable to me to lose you now.
His new host body is pure expedience.
A brilliant master stroke in fact.
No one can stop him now.
Done.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Zack, would you like to see what is inside?
- Sure. - Come.
Whoa.
The detonator and the device are synced.
Once the device
is armed...
a red light comes on, here.
Also on the detonator.
You see?
I'll leave the detonator with you.
It is armed now.
You will keep it for the Master.
He, and he only, is to press the button.
Is that clear?
Yes.
The Master has an important meeting at Stoneheart.
Headquarters upstairs. Once it is finished,
the final phase will commence.
What an honor it is
to fulfill the final stage of the plan.
Who else but you?
Keep an eye on your mother, young man.
Yes, sir.
I will be back for both of you, shortly.
Mr. Desai...
your duties are about to expand greatly.
You will be pleased to learn
that we have a great need
for a helpful human confederate.
That's very good to hear, Mr. Eichhorst.
Thank you.
Humans... think of evolution
in terms of progress and advancement.
This final errand will be the catalyzing event
precipitating a new era on Earth,
akin to the meteor that felled the dinosaurs
and ushered in the Ice Age.
and humbled.
Once we dock,
you will take the suitcase
and place it exactly where I showed you
on the map.
Are you clear as to the location?
Yes, sir. I am.
Accursed sunlight,
I shan't miss it.
"Give me your tired,
"your poor, your huddled masses
"yearning to breathe free,
"the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
"Send these, the homeless,"
"tempest-tossed to me."
"I lift my lamp beside the shining door."
What is it?
Go ahead.
I'm gonna have a look around.
Godspeed, everyone.
You, too, Professor.
I'm not sanctimonious.
You're just a hypocritical prick then?
Well, you slept with him.
And?
"And?"
I don't want to fight with you.
It's just...
I just wish that it'd ended up better
between you and me, you know?
We would be scratching each other's eyes out by now.
Haha!
But I do, too.
Housewares.
This is me.
Fet, I'm in. No one's here.
Yeah, roger that.
I'm in the service kitchen.
Do you see Quinlan anywhere?
No. No, I don't.
Eldritch?
Here.
No sign of the Master yet.
Excuse the mess.
I admit
I would like to have seen.
Eichhorst riddled with bullets.
I'm sure you would.
Dr. Goodweather, welcome.
Strange bedfellows?
- Where's the bomb? - It's near.
It's safe.
Everything all right, Eldritch?
I'm a little anxious, with the end so near.
Eph and Setrakian
are with Palmer in the penthouse, talking.
Miriam's heart.
Yours to take, of course.
You loved her very much.
How many years has it been, Abraham?
Too many.
And you, Dr. Goodweather,
your wife...
- What about her? - Sad situation.
Your son though... What about my son?
A fine boy.
Great potential.
- You've never met my son. - Zack has
a dark heart, don't you think?
- What are you talking about? - Ephraim, get back!
Why are you talking about my son?!
Shit! Fet, they're fighting.
With Palmer. Turn the jammer on!
Fet, give me a sec!
He jumped into.
Palmer's body. He's playing with us.
You should have ended it when you had the chance!
The taking of a soul is but another blood meal,
but your suffering,
this is a delicacy.
- Dutch!
You're unplugged, you little bastard!
What are you going to do? Chop my head off again?
No, we have something else in mind.
Aaaah!
Argh!
Aaaah!
Aaah!
He's in there?
Yeah.
My God! Eph!
It's superficial. It didn't hit the muscle.
Sure as hell doesn't look like it's bleeding superficially.
Our job is only half-done. We need to get
this box to the bottom of the ocean as soon
as possible.
I'm staying.
You need help with the wound.
Van's downstairs.
- We need to go. - Palmer's got all sorts
of medical equipment here. The jammer.
- It worked. - Yeah.
Take it with you. It'll be helpful if you run into some strigoi.
- Well, who's gonna help you? - I'm a doctor, remember?
Go.
Okay.
But we'll be back soon, okay?
Don't die.
Let's go!
Sir, are you all right?
I hear nothing.
There is no voice.
Hear?
- Who? - Drive!
To Stoneheart headquarters!
- Immediately! - Yes, sir.
Mom?
The Master...
I cannot hear him.
You can't...
you can't what?
The Master's right upstairs.
Let's just go see him.
Come on, Mom.
Zack?
Dad?
No! Stop!
No, get off!
Please, just stop!
Mom!
Stop it, please!
- Dad!
No, don't!
Mom!
Mom.
Get back!
Are you okay?
It's over.
It's all over now. You're safe.
You're...
You know what that is?
- Yeah.
Give that to me.
I hate you!
Shit! Get to cover!
Behind the wall! Come on!
Quinlan!
No. No.
Where are you?
He's gone.
Oof!
Zack?!
- Aaaah! - Get up!
Please help me!
Please!
Mr. Eichhorst.
Help me. Please.
Please. Please.
Help me.
- Has anyone seen my son? - What's happening?
Anyone, please!
Help!
Where did she go?!
Help me!
Where's Kelly?
My dad...
He killed her.
I'm sorry, Zack.
Well done, son.
Thanks to you, we are well again.
Come.
- My God! - If the fallout blows this way,
we're not gonna have to worry about strigoi.
We'll be glowing. We gotta get underground.
- We have to find him. - You want to get irradiated?
Be my guest.
The occultation.
Zack!
You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.
Zack!
