Previously on The Strain.
Oh, my God.
Dr. Barnes, Dr. Goodweather worked under you at the CDC, did he not?
Goodweather went rogue. I did everything I could do to stop him.
As of now, you are no longer involved.
I had him arrested by the FBI.
These are vicious predators. They need to be put down.
We're gonna take back Staten Island one block at a time.
Staten Island is a plague-free zone.
Finding a cure or making a vaccine is nearly impossible.
But what we can do
is take everything we know about how to stop an epidemic
and use that knowledge to start one.
-Infect the infected. - Break the chain.
He's infected, and it's spreading.
The Master's forcing them to commit suicide.
It works.
Open up! Police!
- Go! - This is a mandatory evacuation.
Relax, please. My wife, she's very sick.
- She's gonna have to go downstairs and get tested. - Clear!
Move it! Go, let's go! Go!
Okay, okay.
Ma'am, we need to take a look around. We stay in curfew.
This is a safety procedure.
Oh, shit.
You gotta watch out for the white goo. You clean?
Yeah, I'm good.
All right, all clear on the seventh floor?
Clearing the last one now, Captain.
Bathroom's clear.
Mikey, I got a kid here.
Are you okay?
Where are your parents?
You're supposed to get downstairs. All right?
Honey, let's go find your family. Come on.
Captain, Dempsey's down. I need backup- apartment 710.
What the hell is that thing?
Doesn't matter. Just kill it.
Captain, behind you!
Jesus, they're fast.
Come on. You're fine.
You're gonna be fine. You got a little bit more. Come on.
You're gonna be all right. Okay. All right.
Oh! No! No!
Hey, fall back. Fall back. Everybody fall back.
We gotta get out of here.
- Hey, ma'am- - Stop! - She's just got the flu!
- Get back! - Papa,no!
Folks, a little cooperation, please.
You all right, Dempsey? I'm okay.
A little weak but, uh,
didn't get me in the neck, thank God.
Yeah, thank God.
Hey! You dissin' me? We're good.
Hi. I'm a friend of Dutch Velders.
Come in.
So, three IDs, she said.
Oh, yeah. We have IDs.
We just need new names.
Interesting.
Ephraim Goodweather, from the news.
So how's the fugitive life going?
Don't believe everything you see on TV.
I said I saw it. I never said I gave a shit.
Okay, government ID will get you out of the city,
but seeing as you're having your 15 minutes of fame
you might want to change your appearance.
Quiet!
Sit!
It's just a walking stick.
The handle is metal, as you can see.
Go.
Who sent you here, old man?
I've heard about you
from several of my former business associates.
Like you, I am a buyer and seller of things, Mr. Creem,
but on a smaller scale.
- Let's see what you brought me. - I'm here to buy.
- What would you like to buy? - The Occido Lumen.
A medieval text that hasn't been seen in many years.
I'm hoping that in this calamity, the book might surface again.
Book? Not an AK-47
or a pass to get you out of the city on a container ship.
You want a book. I'm prepared to make it worth your while.
Where'd you get those?
I've been holding on to them for many years.
Saving them for a time when I needed them.
A time like this, perhaps.
Well, thanks for coming, old man. I think I'll take those.
Hey.
A chain of events is about to play out here, Mr. Creem.
Your loyal bodyguards will riddle me with bullets,
but not before I draw this blade across your throat.
To put it in language we both understand,
you will not come out well in this trade.
You want a book?
I just bought some old books, yeah?
They're around here somewhere.
Show me.
...press conference this morning,
Mayor Lyle said that he's satisfied with the progress-
Then it's just a cab ride over to the Pentagon...
for some sort of mass-dispersal plan.
The military is more prepared for biological warfare than we'd like to think.
Anyway, the point is, we've got a shot.
You, me and Nora. We can set the reset button on this thing.
We can make it safe again, and we can go home.
I'm not gonna go home without Mom.
You know what magical thinking is, Zack?
Basically, it's hoping for something
that's just not possible.
And you're getting too old for that.
I really need your help here.
- You can't make me go with you. - I'm sorry, buddy.
I'm not leaving you with a bunch of people we hardly know.
If I have to, I can fend for myself.
Eph, can I talk to you for a second?
Finish packing.
...children were snatched in the night.
Thanks.
Let's get packing. I wanna get on the 1:30 train.
What are we doing here, Eph?
We tested the weapon. Twice. It works. We gotta get moving.
I agree, but let's think this through for a second.
You're a fugitive, I'm your known associate, and he's your kid.
I changed our names.
Don't you think our little family group is going to draw attention,
especially passing through security checkpoints
onto trains reserved for government officials?
I'm not leaving Zack behind.
You wouldn't be leaving him.
He would be here with me.
You're not going?
You need to be able to fly under the radar,
and if something falls apart, you need to just drop everything and run.
Fet's been arrested.
Wh-What do you mean?
He's in bloody custody for trying to blow up the tunnel last night.
Shit. We're kind of in the middle of something.
It was that Staten Island lady and her goon squad. I'm going down there.
I need to go with her. She's gonna get arrested too.
Please, please, please. You're right. I'm wrong.
It's not practical, but I need you.
We're partners.
I'm making the decision this time, Eph.
You're gonna do this alone.
A brazen robbery early this morning
by a highly organized group of assailants
is further evidence that the country
is teetering on the brink of financial collapse.
Folks, with the dollar in free fall
and the recent run on Manhattan banks,
people have begun to turn to commodities
as a more secure form of assets.
The past two weeks have seen major banks close their branches in Manhattan.
They've evacuated their staff.
The financial sector expects more banks to follow suit in the coming weeks.
As in previous eras of widespread conflict or social upheaval,
precious gemstones, silver, platinum and gold are-
Zack?
Whoa.
Yeah. Well, it'll grow back.
You're going to stay here with Nora.
She's out for a bit right now, but she'll be back soon.
I think you should stay here too.
If we're gonna have any chance of stopping this thing, I need to do this.
Maybe you'll even appreciate it someday.
Okay. I gotta go.
Can I at least get a hug?
Hey, wish me luck.
Good luck.
We're not the only ones who have a problem with these people.
Everybody just calm down. Quiet!
If you have concerns, there is a sign-up sheet.
Give me the bullhorn.
All right, listen.
I want you back in your homes as much as you do.
But right now-
What is this? Take this. WOMAN: What are we supposed to do?
Right now- Right now what?
Your homes are not safe.
My crews, they're out there day and night,
some of them losing their lives.
But they will win back your neighborhoods for you.
Give us some time and your support.
But anyone showing symptoms needs to go into quarantine for 72 hours.
What are you saying?
We've got to find out if they're infected.
I know it's a pain in the ass being separated that long,
but we've got to keep everybody safe.
Excuse me. I'm Dr. Nora Martinez.
I'm a biochemist with the CDC.
And?
You don't need to quarantine people for three days.
I have a way of diagnosing people who are infected within one or two hours.
Yeah? How's that?
I'll show you.
But first, you have to do something for me.
Fet. Vasiliy Fet.
I had a great time. Huh?
Reunion. A year from now, same time, same place.
You better show up, Griselda.
Your face. I thought you'd like it.
That's why I asked them to go at me so hard.
You. Oi!
You see this?
So we're letting the Brooklyn Bomber walk, huh?
You must have powerful friends. He was helping you.
You'd understand that if you didn't have your head shoved so far up your-
She's foreign. Huh?
Let me translate.
I didn't blow the tunnel because I get off on damaging my inner ear.
- I did it to cut off vamp access- - I know why you did it.
All right? We just can't have civilians
setting off charges wherever they feel like it.
Even if they do it decently well.
What are you, ex-special forces or something?
My father would have drowned me before he let me join the army.
I'm a city exterminator.
With a dynamite fetish?
He's the best creature hunter in New York.
I also have a fetish for silver grenades.
- Silver what? - They burn the shit out of the munchers.
Now, it's not as good as ultraviolet light, but-
You don't know about the silver or the UVC.
How the hell have you been killing them?
- Been shooting their heads off. - That works too.
Yeah, usually, except for the little spider-kids.
The- The what?
Last night we were driven out of this housing complex...
by these little spider-kids.
They're fast as hell. They can climb anything.
You haven't seen them?
You know, maybe they're still there. Maybe they're not.
Either way, I've gotta go back and finish clearing the place.
But now I'm down two men.
We'll get our stuff.
Attention all passengers. Trains are overbooked.
Sorry. Excuse me.
Please conduct yourselves safely at all times.
A valid government-issued ID is required Excuse me. Excuse me.
For clearance with Homeland Security. Pardon me. Sorry.
No exceptions.
Attention all passengers. Trains are overbooked.
CDC. CDC. Please conduct yourselves safely at all times.
A valid government-issued ID is required-
Hey, how's it going?
What's your business in Washington?
I live in Washington. I'm going home.
How long you been in New York?
Since February 12, four days after the plane landed.
You're with the CDC.
That's right. And now you're leaving?
We have a response deployment meeting tomorrow.
We're sending more teams back up here.
Can I see your drivers license, please?
I don't drive. This is the final boarding call
for the 1 :30 Northeast Corridor Express to Washington, DC.
That's my train.
- Have a safe trip home. - Thank you for your service.
Keep the change. Thanks.
We're going to have to push that meeting with the surgeon general.
Tell him something, whatever.
I'll just move the secretary of transportation to 4:30.
Perfect.
Mind if I sit here?
Have at it.
It's not here.
Oh, and, uh, another thing.
It allegedly has a silver cover.
Allegedly?
This is an 18-karat-gold Patek Philippe 2484.
A down payment, if you will.
This one is a Reference 1563 Split-Second Chronograph.
Only three are known to exist. This is the fourth.
If you find me my book, then it's yours.
A-Actually, I do know someone
who deals with the kind of shit you're looking for.
Religious iconography and that sort of stuff.
What's the book called again?
The Occido Lumen. Double
What department are you with?
CDC.
Bet you're keeping busy.
Pretty busy. How about you?
I'm a lawyer with the Energy Department.
I got caught in the quarantine.
Thank God for government jobs, I'll tell you that.
I finally got cleared to travel.
I'm Neil Archer. What's your name?
Jonathan. Jonathan Crowley.
Oh.
I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
You pick those up in the bar car?
Yeah. All right.
I'll be right back.
You're clear.
A person may not even have physical symptoms yet.
You're clear.
Baby.
- Right through there, sir. - Baby, how are you? Are you okay?
Over there.
I don't know if we should wait for him to turn.
It should be his decision. His and his family.
You're right.
I'll go talk to their family.
You mind taking a look at someone else for me?
It's my nephew Mikey.
He got knocked down some stairs last night and landed on his head.
Our doctor, he thinks he'll probably be okay.
But I noticed a little cut on his face there.
I just wanna be sure.
I'm so sorry.
Forget I'm sorrys. Can we do something here?
It's not possible.
- It's not my opinion. It's a scientific fact. - How can you be so sure?
My best friend was nicked much the same way this boy's been.
We cut his face open with a box cutter to get the worms out.
We were that desperate.
But it was too late.
The worms were everywhere inside him.
Goddamn it.
What is that, like a silver sword or something?
Yeah. And silver grenades and silver nails in the nail gun.
What about the rebar?
That have special properties I don't know about?
Yeah. It doesn't bend.
Here we are in the center of Red Hook.
We need to own this neighborhood. Let's do it.
So, you wanna see what silver can do?
Satisfying, no? It's okay.
But why wouldn't I just do this?
Fair point.
Fet.
It's all clear, Chief.
I know there's more in here. I've seen them.
You guys check the elevator? It's not working.
Fire in the hole!
Okay. Now I get the silver thing.
I got the morphine.
I've been thinking.
Maybe I'd rather wait until he turns.
It might make it easier to do it.
I don't know him, but I think he would rather go out as himself.
I used to read to him Goodnight Moon and sing him to sleep.
When you're ready, just push the plunger in.
I've been asking my people to be okay with this. I can't even do it.
Show yourself.
Fitzwilliam.
I'm ready to help.
We accomplished that.
Homeland Security.
I'll be out in a minute.
Sir, mandatory medical inspection.
- Feeling feverish? - No.
Sore throat? No.
Open your mouth, please.
Please.
In the past 72 hours,
have you had any physical contact with a person-
I'm not infected. I should know.
I'm one of the first people to discover these symptoms.
What's your name?
Jonathan Crowley. Dr. Jonathan Crowley.
You have some ID?
Thank you, Doctor.
Goodweather. Shut up.
I'm not letting you get in my way again.
You think I like the position they've put me in?
They nearly threw me over a balcony, Eph.
I can't even sleep. I barely eat.
Then just let me go.
I've got a plan to wipe out all the infected and clean all this up.
That's great news.
I'll let you go.
I appreciate you're still trying to do something about this.
You lie.
Trust me, Eph.
I can't trust you, Barnes. I know you.
Next stop, Baltimore Penn Station.
Please gather all your belongings.
Shit.
You're not gonna win, Eph. You can't beat them.
Now, don't be stupid or naive
and end up on the wrong side of things.
In the meantime, there's no way you're getting off this train.
I'm getting the cops.
Mr. Palmer, sir, so nice to see you.
Right this way.
I thought we could use a gentle reminder...
that not every institution in this city is in a state of pandemonium.
Yes, it seems so normal.
Denial is a special privilege of the rich.
I really don't know what they're applauding.
They're applauding you for actually trying to do something
instead of ignoring the problem, like them.
If it isn't New York City's own savior.
Cardinal MacNamara.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
You are-
This is Ms. Coco Marchand.
It's an honor, Your Eminence.
I would ask you to join us, but I imagine you have other obligations.
Of course.
I just wanted to let you know that a certain item that you were looking for
might be turning up soon.
Go on.
Until I hear back from my contact, there's nothing to be done.
So, please, enjoy your evening,
and I'll be in touch.
What was that all about?
Oh, nothing.
It didn't seem like nothing.
Cardinal MacNamara is known...
for procuring certain historic collectibles from time to time.
Is that allowed?
And this collectible is something you want? Oh, yes, very much.
Now, I'm famished. Shall we order?
Ohh.
You never collected art?
Oh, no. Only as an investment.
I'm not interested in the aesthetics at all.
That was lovely. Oh, yes.
I can never thank you enough.
Oh, my God.
I hope there's no one in there.
I doubt there is at this late hour.
Saves us having to bother with our fireplace.
I think I'll fix us a nightcap.
I wish I knew the proper way to present you to people.
Why? Am I not presentable?
No,no,no. You misunderstand.
I mean, introducing you merely as my assistant doesn't do you justice.
You're worth so much more than that.
Yet, if I say nothing, people make assumptions.
At best, they see you as just a dazzling jewel on my arm.
Maybe you should stop caring what other people think, huh?
You're right. Cheers.
Alcohol is a newly acquired pleasure.
Shall we?
No, I don't think so.
I, uh- I'm feeling rather tired.
Tired? Really?
Would like me to tuck a blanket around your legs?
Maybe get you a nice glass of warm milk?
I see what you're doing.
No, I'm not ready for the nursing home just yet.
Keep it simple.
Now arriving on Platform 25-
Northeast Corridor Express from New York City.
This is his briefcase. He has a meeting that's started.
He wouldn't leave it on the train.
I work with Dr. Everett Barnes. I'm his assistant.
How can I help you? Listen to me.
This is the secretary of health we're talking about.
ID? WOMAN: I've been calling his cell.
He's not answering his phone. No one has seen him.
You haven't seen him in how long?
Open the bag, please.
I found his notes scattered on the floor. Ma'am, please calm down.
What's this?
Personal item.
What's in it?
My wife's ashes.
She asked me to scatter them at her family home.
It's been a very painful week.
Sorry for your loss.
Welcome to Washington.
Thank you.
ID.
Hello.
You hear our radio calls?
You were specifically instructed not to land here.
This airport is within a restricted area. There's a quarantine.
No incoming or outgoing aircraft within 60 miles of New York.
We had an in-flight emergency. Our client was sick.
What client? Where is he? Let me see him.
- He left. - Left?
Where the hell did he go?
That way.
You guys wait inside. I'm gonna need to talk to you.
Good to go?
