Previously on The Strain. Too long I've lived, too much I've seen.

In the tunnels, turning people into hungry vermin. They are no longer people

to think they are is very dangerous.

You do not have the luxury of choice anymore.

All we can do now is fight.

There's a war already lost.

Are we destined to be cattle for monsters?

Or, now that the enemy has shown his face, do we have a fighting chance?

I've kept my part of the agreement. The master will keep his.

What about Mom, Dad? I don't know where your mom is, but I'm going to find her.

No. Mom! It's not her anymore!

No! Mom! The master will use your wife's love. Don't. For her son.

To pursue us to the ends of the earth.

Let him try.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, you cling to the delusion that you will

prevail. The great game is overdue. Not while I still breathe.

Abraham Setrakian, come and have your soup.

Abraham!

Tell me one more story, Bubba. It's late now, Abraham.

There's barely enough time for a tale.

Maybe.

While you finish your soup, what story do you want to hear?

Sardou, Bubba.

Will you tell me his story?

Sardou. Again.

Even if it is a scary one.

Very well, Abraham.

But I want a clean plate at the end of it all.

There once was a great nobleman named Yusef Sardu.

Since childhood, he suffered from gigantism.

His body was aged, his bones were bent and riddled with eggs, so he was forced

to walk with a cane.

His was a beautiful sword cane with a white gold handle and a silver blade.

His disease made him aware of the frailty of life.

So, as a result, he was very kind to others, especially

children.

However, Sardu's brother, the Baron, was shamed by his sibling's affection.

He organized a hunting trip with his brother and his cousin because he

the blood of the great grey wolf could cure the disease afflicting Yusuf.

Day after day, they walked in search of the great gray wolf.

But something

other than a wolf was alive in the woods.

And it started hunting them.

One by one, the members of the hunting party left.

Until Yusuf found himself completely alone.

A certainty grew in his heart.

His brethren were dead, and it was up to him to kill the beast

or die dry.

Finish your soup, Abraham, and I'll finish my tea.

When he finally encountered the creature, it was not a wolf at all.

It was an ancient hungry bee.

And as it gazed at the giant's body, it smiled.

You got her.

I can smell the silver on the blade.

Do you think you are faster than

me?

My soul.

I pass on to you.

As a blessing, I bestow them.

Sardu returned to his village weeks later, but was never again seen outside

castle walls.

Not in daylight, that is.

Some say he was much changed.

And soon, young children began disappearing from the village.

vanishing from their beds at night.

And while no one ever saw Sardu again, some

said they heard his cane in the night.

Evil lurks in the world, Abraham, in many forms, some familiar,

some not.

You must stop it.

We all must.

Show yourself.

I'm right here.

Where is he?

I was wondering the same thing myself.

Who

are

you? My name is Vaughn.

Never thought I'd be nostalgic for rats.

Yeah.

Vampire proofing is a lot more labor intensive than rat proofing.

Where's the track in? He left before I got up. Where to?

I'm not big on leaving notes.

Hey, you want to help me out with this?

He said sunlight would kill that thing.

We chased it into the sun. It got away.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Even vampire hunters.

Even doctors.

So you're still on board.

You're still ready to follow him down every dark tunnel in the city.

Yeah.

But I got my own plan.

Which is?

I'm going to secure my place.

Then next door.

Then the block. And then the next block.

The ground game isn't for me.

So what are you going to do?

Well, seeing as how as a vampire hunter I'm total shit, I'm going to go back to

being a doctor.

Nora?

Nora?

Ready? Yes.

Zach is still asleep.

Dutch?

Could use some ventilation.

Yeah, and a latte with almond milk and a massage from the fourth season.

When Zach gets up, you make sure you get some breakfast.

Where are you going?

Out. Got it. Yeah, no problem. I'll just feed your kid and make sure this place

is vampire safe for you.

Is there a problem?

I just said there wasn't a problem. Sounds like there's a problem. If there

a problem, I'd tell you there was a problem.

You're just so bloody presumptuous.

Am I?

Guard, yeah.

Please and thank you.

Whatever. You're welcome.

Sie haben nach mir gerufen.

Dieser Körper wird sterben.

Der Jude hat ihn gestört.

Was kann ich tun, mein Meister?

Move into bag now.

Any sudden moves and I'll kill you.

Not if you understand.

What?

I know this guy.

Give me my cane.

No way, old man.

He owns a pawn shop in my neighborhood in Harlem.

It's not a threat. You're the idiot brother of the man -child who stole my

clock.

I brought you your clock back.

Okay, shut up. Come on, let's go.

Yep.

You work for this help?

You know what they say. You gotta stay on top of the food chain, O .G.

You and five, Strigoi.

Not very smart.

Silence. You will approach with all due respect.

They exist.

The ancients.

They're sleeping now.

But they can hear and understand everything.

I speak for them.

What do you know of the seventh one of their kind?

The seventh?

The one you call the master.

You injured him.

How do you know this?

The seven share a common mind.

But the seventh has the power to disrupt thought.

When you injured him, he lost control.

So they saw you fighting.

And now he has recovered enough to shield himself from you once again.

What do you want?

They want to make an alliance with you.

Sometimes great enemies become allies so they can fight a common foe.

Do they know how to kill him?

I think for obvious reasons they won't answer that question.

And I don't see how they can help me. No.

You're here to help them.

Over the millennia, they have gathered vast resources that could help you in

your hunt.

A legend has passed down through the centuries concerning a

book, an ancient tome of uncertain provenance,

of some say divine inspiration, the Oxido Lumen.

What do you know of this book?

I now have proof that it exists.

What are they saying?

They're trying to decide whether you should live.

I vowed to hunt the master until the day I died.

If today is that day, so be it.

All right.

Here's the bargain.

They'll let you live.

But you must guarantee that when you find the master, you will alert us.

Fair enough.

They're waking now.

Yeah.

We'd best leave.

They're going to be hungry.

No. Please.

Anybody there?

No looters.

Well, if a Walmart is a 10 on the attractiveness to looters scale, then a

pathology lab would be like a negative 3.

I wonder what happened to Elliot.

He was smart enough to start a chain of 10 pathology labs.

Probably smart enough to get out of the city.

Smarter than us, anyway.

God bless the man.

Never skimped on anything.

You know, it doesn't make any sense to haul all this back to Feds. We should

just set up shop here.

Thank you, Elle, wherever you are.

Herr Eichhorn.

Where is he?

He's near.

Always near.

I was under the clear impression that he was going to be here.

The master will attend or will not attend, according to... Please, spare

me the he will or he will not spiel. It's tiresome.

This is the most significant part of the next phase of operations.

Now, where is he?

I see a little of the Master's white in your veins has made you bold, Eldritch.

But as a friend, I'm telling you, being too bold may not be wise right now.

I coursed. Honestly, you're not my friend.

And I don't give a warm shit what you think.

Don't try and manage me.

I'm not one of your foot soldiers.

I am the master's partner.

His partner?

Of course.

The master will be very interested to hear that.

That's a burn.

Only silver could do that.

Did someone attack you?

Step away.

Who was it?

Sutrakian and his merry band of vampire hunters? The ones you deemed were not a

threat, eh?

Where is your faith, Eldritch?

If you only knew what was to come.

And what does that mean?

Mr. Palmer, sir.

I'm Coco Marchand. I work with Jack Parker.

I'm sorry I'm late. It was challenging to get here.

Where's Mr. Parker?

With all the craziness, he had a family emergency.

But I'm a licensed broker, and I know from working with Mr. Parker how

this deal is.

So I jumped at the chance to work with you.

Anyway, I have all the paperwork right here.

Hello, I'm Coco Marchand.

Thomas Eichhorst. Very pleased.

Mr. Eichhorst is my business associate.

I had expressed my concern to Mr. Parker about the property's EPA status.

Yes, I managed to locate the EPA 3842 form on the property.

Zero issues.

Very well done.

The drains.

They're all functional.

Can they carry a large amount of liquid waste?

Well, this was a soap and cleaning supply factory. I imagine so.

What if we were to significantly modify the property?

It's zone IR4, which means you can pretty much do anything you want here.

Except build a baseball stadium and compete with the Yankees.

You a sports fan, Miss Marchand?

I'm a Red Sox fan, yeah.

Really?

Where'd you grow up?

In France. My mother's French. My father's American.

From Boston.

I've never been to a baseball game.

You're kidding me.

Health issues.

The distractions of my career.

No.

Sadly, I've never gone.

Oh, you must go.

Baseball can make you feel like a little boy again.

In the best possible way. Can we finish our business?

Here, I brought you the purchase agreement.

Tell them. Thank you. In the middle of this medical holocaust, they're the

luckiest real estate sellers in the city.

Give them exactly 12 hours.

I'm not moving on the price.

Except down.

Yes, sir. I'll get you an answer. No, Miss Marchand.

Get me the property.

We either interrupt the chain of infection here...

By developing a vaccine, or we pour our efforts into a cure here.

Or we find a way to get to the Bahamas.

I love the chart. It's awesome.

I don't want to get too meta about it, but I keep looking at it and I think,

this is a summary of our entire career, so everything we know is now useless.

All right, let's start with the vaccine. Problem number one.

This disease kills its host before it turns it. It's kind of a big problem if

you're trying to create a vaccine. It's really a lot easier if you have a living

person. Problem two, also an issue, a vaccine helps create antibodies.

Antibodies travel via the bloodstream, so you need a bloodstream.

What if we find some mechanism by which we can get the body to destroy or reject

the worms?

Cages like Jim's where they only get nicked, that's 10, 20 % of the total.

Everybody else is getting sucked dry like a juice box.

So we focus on the cure?

Sure. All we have to do is figure out how to create wholesale human organ

regeneration. These creatures generate new organs in a matter of hours.

Maybe we can start by figuring out how they do it.

Yeah, maybe.

What? Say it.

I'm not going to be yours, Cole.

I only quit drinking because of Kelly and the whole custody thing, and I can't

think of a single positive thing I ever got out of it.

To be honest, even you like me better when I drink.

It's not PC, but it's the truth.

And you shouldn't feel the need to justify it. I don't.

You'd be presumptuous.

We spent the whole bloody day fortifying this place against vampires, and now

you want to set out after dark?

Is the tracking still going?

He doesn't know the neighborhood.

I... Can't wait for him any longer. The man's a bloody sword -wielding Armenian

samurai. I'm sure he's... Thank

you.

Who the hell were you all day?

Don't concern yourself with me.

Didn't you think that maybe, gee, I should check in?

Let them know that I'm not dead. Let them know I'm not a vampire.

I'm not dead.

I'm not a vampire.

Hey.

Listen.

Did you eat anything?

I'm not hungry.

No, you gotta eat.

You gotta stay healthy and sharp.

I'm gonna get you something.

You're not even gonna growl at me?

I'm fine.

Where were you out there?

On the trail of the master.

And?

Nothing.

Mr. Fett, I need your help.

I have a storage locker.

In it are all my extra supplies. I kept them separate for

just this type of an emergency.

I need to retrieve them.

Yeah, okay.

We leave first thing in the morning.

See, that's a good sign.

You've given me orders.

You hurt him, you know.

The Master wounded him.

You shouldn't feel like you failed.

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite

reaction.

Write carefully.

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal

and opposite reaction.

Children, close your work and listen to me for one minute.

Given everything that's going on, we have decided to relocate the Institute

outside of the city.

Now, the National Guard is in the process of setting up checkpoints at all

the bridges and all of the tunnels leading out of the city.

But, thanks to our generous sponsors at the Stoneheart Foundation, we've gotten

a transit pass out of Manhattan.

So, those of you whose parents we've managed to contact, you will be picked

here at the school.

The rest of the group...

will travel with me on the bus to our new location in New Jersey.

All right, everyone?

Empty your lockers and pack your bag. We are leaving in two hours.

Jesus Christ, Zach, what are you doing?

I'm practicing.

You're mad?

Let's talk it out.

Okay? You can yell, you can scream, whatever.

But let's deal with this.

She's gone.

She's not gone.

She was right there.

You scared her away. You shot her. She's turned.

Do you understand how that works?

She's sick. You even said so.

Her heart, her organs, they're all

gone.

There's nothing I can do to help her.

There's nothing anybody can do to help her.

She's something else now.

Bullshit.

You're a doctor, right, Dad?

Then save her. Find a cure.

You know, drinking alone is like dancing.

To survival?

To victory.

What the hell is this?

I won't know, really, until it's finished.

Well, how do we know when you're finished?

When I know what the hell it is.

That's a Zen riddle.

Too bad my job is so results -oriented.

You still have a job?

Oh, yeah. Saving the human race. Oh, right.

Ah, presumptuous.

Failing to observe the limits of what is permitted or appropriate.

I really got under your skin with that remark, didn't I? Impertinent.

Bold.

Confident.

Arrogant. Egotistical.

Cheeky.

I forget, are we talking about you or me?

All right.

So tell me, which is more fun?

Crashing the internet?

We're making this thing.

Art rarely goes viral, but dark deeds seem to be contagious.

You're absolutely right. Thank you.

For what?

Excuse me.

Are we at the quarantine zone?

I didn't hear us go over a bridge.

Or through a tunnel.

Okay, everyone.

Grab your seatmates' hands. We're going to get off the bus and gather just

outside.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I'm sure we could all use a trip to the restroom.

And some food.

I know, Megan.

You're the last, right?

I think so.

Okay. Come on.

I'll be your buddy.

Welcome, children.

Hello?

Who's there?

How wonderful that you have all arrived with your teacher.

Miss Sanger, are all these children blind from birth?

Some of them are, yes.

But not all of them.

Uh, are we?

Is this the new school?

Your journey has indeed come to an end.

But your adventure is just beginning.

So, 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.

Find a weak link in the vampire biology and cook something up to exploit it.

Infect the carriers.

Break the chain.

We need something we can distribute on a mass scale. Something that vampires are

vulnerable to, but that non -turned humans can tolerate.

The elevated body temperature, the stinger morphology.

Something to attack the simplistic brainstem of the biological and chemical

components. That's more your department.

If we can brew up something that will burn through these things fast, but not

too fast, with enough incubation time to spread the disease to other vampires,

then... Perhaps you two can be useful after all.

I'm glad you approve.

But first, I must ask you to help me with something.

Fellow New Yorkers, the federal government says it's doing all it can to

our great city, but...

If you're like me, you have a hard time seeing much evidence of that.

This morning, I informed Mayor Lyle that I am making available to the city an

open line of credit to supplement the emergency budget effective immediately.

Thank you, sir.

Mr.

Palmer and I have never been on the same side of any political issue.

But a true statesman sets aside political rhetoric in a time of crisis.

Let me be perfectly clear. This credit line is an investment in the

future of this city and the resilience of its brave citizens.

I am calling upon everyone to be vigilant and to look out for family,

and neighbors in this time of crisis.

And show our country, and indeed the world, what New York is made of.

Thank you all for coming.

Miss Marshall, good news?

Your offer was accepted.

And I have to say, what you're doing for the city, it's heroic.

To whom much is given.

Oh, I don't believe anyone ever gave you anything, Mr. Palmer.

But you need a better tie.

This one is boring.

Boring?

I have a hundred just like it.

Miss Marchand, how would you like to work for me?

Pardon me?

Not for Stoneheart.

Directly for me.

Why, thank you, Mr. Palmer, but I don't think I can.

You feel a sense of loyalty to your current employer.

The firm paid for all my training and licensing, and I've only been with them

for 18 months.

Yes, that was very generous of them.

Here's what I want you to do.

Go back to your office and tell Mr... Parker. Parker.

I offered to double, no, triple your salary and give you a position working

directly with me. I promise you, he won't be angry.

He'll be falling all over himself to retain you as a contact.

How does that sound?

Went shopping?

Caught off.

Stolen. Which is the greatest sin, stealing food or wasting it?

My stomach said waste.

Ever had ramen noodles?

I lived off this stuff exclusively for three years.

Ramen and Red Bull.

Oh, here, I got you this.

It's warm.

We're in the middle of a vampire apocalypse. Everybody's making

Anything good on TV?

It's just the same news.

Over and over.

Just going to keep them out.

You bet your arse it will.

are very lucky indeed our lord is going to give you back the power of your own

thought your own voice you have been chosen

has begun.

This place is a maze.

Where is it?

It's here.

You don't remember which unit? Of course I do. By sight, not by number.

Here. This is the one.

Are you sure?

Or this one? It's one of these two.

You have no keys?

He left them back at the pawn shop.

No harm.

Not exactly the weapons I was expecting.

Damn it, then it's the other one.

Don't shoot.

The government's lying. They're doing nothing.

Our building, the people who live there have either been turned into one of

those creatures or they fled.

I'm going to check out the next corridor.

The thing is safer places than me.

So we stored ourselves.

Do you have any family? A son.

He's disabled.

He's well cared for.

We can find more silver. We can make new weapons.

Let's go.

Here, this is it.

What do you want so badly in there?

Yeah, definitely the wine.

What's this?

Silver grenades.

Please handle them with care. I was not able to make them too stable.

Dangerous explosives. Your favorite. You carry those.

What's that?

Some notebooks. Some research I need to review.

I, uh...

Made a mistake.

Won't happen again.

We found it. They're loading up the truck right now.

Why don't you come with us?

No, thank you.

It's not safe.

Nowhere is. But there is safety in numbers.

Nora. We're fine here, okay?

God damn it.

No, Fenton.

Chasing the old man around?

Thank you.

Yeah, we're fine. Just scratch, I'm fine.

all called upon to serve his glory.

But the master has anointed you above the others.

This is a great honor and an even greater responsibility all

due to your connection with your dear one.

Is that?

Yes, him.

Rejoice, Kelly.

For you have an important role to play in the Master's great vision.

To that end, he has bestowed upon you the blessing of a new family.

They have unique abilities.

Sight and perception beyond the visible spectrum.

Behold the feelers.

The children of the night.
