Original subtitles

Of the six three -digit integers on the board, which are divisible by four?

O 'Brien.

All of them.

Not even in the outer reaches of Pluto, where you generally reside, is

703 divisible by four.

703 divided by four is 175 .75.

They can all be divided by four, just with the remainders.

You didn't define your terms.

O 'Brien!

Stay!

You show a growing disdain for authority?

It's concerning.

Hands on the desk.

Hands on the desk!

There's no drill schedule.

Move out, O 'Brien.

Walter, let's go.

You could get arrested for pulling the firing line. You should get arrested.

They're gonna strike you. We'll just call Dad.

We'll take care of Dad, too.

Megan, someday I'll pay you back.

We'll take a Lamborghini.

For it, Yela.

Right, yeah.

Uh, Ralph, pick again.

That's two days in a row, huh, Belle?

Yeah, his fever won't break. I'm going to take him to the doctor at 10, and

my neighbor can watch him if that's okay. Mm -hmm.

Are you okay? You don't look... Never been healthy.

Oh. So, mail rides, menus, and paychecks.

Mo' money, mo' problems, or so I've heard in the rapper song.

No, rappers may have 99 or so problems, but misplacing paychecks is not one of

them. LAX cleared our debt. This is our first fresh cash.

Toby, are you going to be okay with this? I'm way ahead of you. High stress

levels triggers my gambling addictions. My levels go up.

It reminds me I'm being a jackass.

Oh, I could do that for you.

I'll be upstairs. Thank you.

Hey, seriously, what's wrong?

I'm fine.

Clearly.

So is Ralph, by the way.

Yeah. He hacked the thermometer, recalibrated the digital display.

He did what?

Ralph? He hates school.

We all did.

Especially those of us with math proficiency.

You know, to get through the day, I would look at the clock, and I'd create

formulas expressing trigonomic function based on the clock hand.

My sister suggested that to me a long time ago.

I didn't know you had a sister.

Is she enabled to? Not like us, but in her own way.

Ralph, bad fact.

What's the story today? Don't know, but that is only the second time he's ever

mentioned his sister.

Still stalking your ex -wife?

Ex -fiance, and I am not stalking, I'm keeping current.

Uh -huh. Cave called.

We're all going to meet the governor of California.

My back -tack status with the state isn't exactly what you'd call good.

this about?

He said hurry, right? So let's hurry.

Page? Ralph's school is on the way, so we'll drop him off. Come on, guys.

The new car ride's nice.

Study paycheck equals safe car for my kid. Heavy security.

Way more than you'd expect from the governor. Walter, why is there a van

the Center for Disease Control here? I don't know. We'll find out pretty soon.

They handle diseases that wipe out civilizations.

Diseases that have no cure. And they're here.

It's going to be fine. Come on. Good.

You're here.

Follow me. Why are you wearing a surgical mask around your neck? What

are you protecting yourself from? Relax. They put up a quarantine tent.

A quarantine tent.

I will be in the car.

Uh, Mr. Gallo, sir, is there a very terrible, possibly communicable disease

this home?

Sorry, stress levels are a tad elevated right now.

Weird phone's off, but I still hear a donkey.

Today's not the day to be screwing off. You two go wait with Sylvester.

There's a computer I need you to look at.

Who's that kid?

It's a need to know.

You know, what I need to know is exactly what's going on. Otherwise, I can't

help.

Guys, this is Governor Lane.

Is this the man who can help my daughter? I'm going to need to know

that's happening here. So governmental habits of proprietary knowledge and need

to know, jettison that nonsense or my efforts to help your child will be

hampered. You have to forgive Mr. O 'Brien. He's brilliant, but in politic.

I don't care what he is, as long as he helps.

In here.

We're really not trying to hamper anyone.

But if the public hears unknown virus, it could cause panic.

Especially if there's a political motivation.

What kind of virus?

She tested negative for Henta, Rift Valley, Ebola.

Eastern equine encephalitis? Also negative.

She's only positive for the common cold.

The CDC has a database of the rarest infective agents in the world.

They're searching. Yeah, but while they search, Helena's kidneys, liver, lungs,

all shutting down. Her fever's...

Doctor said she has less than 24 hours. This is a medical problem. Why am I

here? First of all, Governor, we're so sorry this is happening to you. I have a

child, too.

And I can't imagine how you feel.

All I want to do is help.

Thank you.

Come with me.

We found this virus on Helena's laptop a few hours ago. Based on this, we're

working on the assumption that someone made Helena sick intentionally.

Targeting you, no doubt.

Any idea why?

Immigration reform, three strikes. Those are my hot -button issues. But would

they prompt this kind of hostility against my kid? We're compiling all

past and present.

The FBI, NSA, Homeland, all the top computer guys have been trying to trace

sender. The source bounced around to 15 countries. We hit a wall.

Agent Gallo said that you and your team were brilliant, and you could find out

who sent it.

All right.

All of your devices are on the same home network?

Yeah.

Any other computer have this virus?

No. Okay, so he directed the virus to just hell on his computer.

Anybody else in the house sick?

No. You, your wife, and your staff, they've all been in your proximity.

Yes. What are you getting at?

He could have taken out the whole home network, but he directed the computer

virus at just your child.

I don't think this is a coincidence that no one else but Alan is ill.

Wait, wait, what does this mean? Give the girl some cool air. She's hot

No!

You can't catch it.

None of us can.

The virus he placed on the computer is custom built. He did the same with your

daughter. Or why is no one else ill? You're saying he custom built a virus

would make just this child sick? Yeah, there's computer hacking and more

recently there's biohacking. Now, whoever infected...

The computer also infected your daughter. Until we find that person and

exactly what biological agent he used, there's not going to be any hope for a

cure. Wait, where are you going? You can't just drop a theory like that and

leave. Governor, the helplessness you feel will incline you to irrational

behavior. So please resist the temptation to do anything stupid like

my way.

Let me do my job.

I checked the AVG scanner, came up with nothing.

If we can find a signature in the viral code, it'll tell us who sent it. Meaning

we have nothing.

So far, Walt.

Keep your shorts on.

Governor's had 10 distinct threats since he took to office. Four of the perps

are locked up. It's leaving six.

Guillermo Flacos, this is way too subtle for a Mexican drug lord. Oh, announcing

your intent via email, that's too subtle? Personally, I would keep

Any on the list have computer proficiency and a knowledge of

that'll probably narrow our list down to zero, but we'll keep digging.

What I want to understand is how you hack into a human being. I get your DNA

from anywhere, a coffee cup, a piece of gum, and then I study your genetics for

deficiencies, say lung disease, and then I harness that genetic sequence onto a

cold virus, and I blow it in your face.

Or into the air around you. Toby, anything? I trace the computer virus's

Russia, China, Serbia. It's not one of the government couldn't crack it. It

none of the known building blocks.

That's where you leave it, huh? Would the young girl die?

All right, trace the IP header.

Study it for patterns.

Maybe that'll get us somewhere.

Don't say I'm fine.

I was going to say I'll live.

What's eating you?

You're acting. I'm tempted to use the word emotional.

Particularly challenging problems create impatience.

But you were already off this morning when you came in.

You only became impatient when you saw that little girl in her bed.

Yeah, she reminded me of a problem I couldn't solve. You realize the more

evasive you are, the more oppressed.

All right.

As a child, my sister got sick.

She survived.

She's fine.

Like you, all day.

You know, I couldn't help her.

I felt like she was being beaten, and I was handcuffed.

I couldn't solve her problem.

And that's how you felt?

Seeing that girl today.

Walter, we've got something.

Thank you for the bandage.

All right, hide the logs. I'm coming down.

Okay, so we've successfully mirrored the infected laptop.

The good news is we traced the email. The bad news, it doesn't just bounce off

few servers around the world. It's caught in an endless loop. That is a

one. It's a good one.

We're using a round robin on an IP address, but it's too clever by half.

the source.

There's a pattern in the routing data. You got prefix?

I know the place that uses this trick to mask their email origins. Let's go.

The sophistication of the email sent to the governor's daughter stamps at this

place is a known hacker petri dish.

One guy makes an advancement in deception, passes it on to another guy.

how Silk Road stayed online for so long.

You know that, Hal.

Think we both take the fifth on that?

Hey! Kill the music!

Homeland Security!

I'm looking for the scumbag that sent the viral email to the governor's

daughter.

That grayish ball right there. His wide eyes and twitching hands go beyond the

standard for ten cans of Mountain Dew.

You! Don't move!

When does Walter get physical?

Um...

Never. Got the job on Craigslist.

I never even met the client.

I think he broke some ribs.

Refocus or I'll break the rest of them.

How are you paid?

Cash to my P .O. box.

Great, untraceable.

I didn't know about anything yet.

I just sent a few anonymous emails and I pocketed three brands. Three emails?

More than one.

I sent four total, all the same.

It's your fault she's sick.

So there are more victims?

Sir, we identified the three other victims. They're all children.

Oh, my God.

They're all as thick as your daughters, sons and daughters of Dwight Carrington,

Victoria Cooper, and John Tuttle.

Wait, I know them. You were all employees of Laxco Pharmaceuticals in

That's before I went into politics.

I only worked there for a year in risk management. There's a drug called

Trexacaine. You all worked on its development.

Trexacaine had promised as a cure for SMA, spinal muscular atrophy.

Causes your muscles to waste away and see it can't breathe anymore. The

trial was going really well until Blackstone pulled the plug. Yeah, it

worked well on asthma.

It was redeveloped solely for asthma. Way more profit, huh? Left all the SMA

sufferers out in the cold.

I spent months fielding your angry phone calls. I hated the job. But how is this

related to Helena? We think that whoever attacked Helena and these other

children must be someone who suffered from SMA. And they're trying to make us

suffer, too?

What kind of mind thinks this way? Well, a kind that sends taunting emails

alongside his deadly disease shows someone in enough psychological pain to

care about how stupid that is from a criminal standpoint.

Okay, is this headed towards ransom? More likely, like his experience with

Trexacaine, he's saying there is a cure out there, you just can't have it.

This person would need high scientific aptitude and access to cutting -edge

genetic sequencers.

I got thousands of complaints after the trial ended.

Our best bet at finding someone that angry enough to infect your daughter and

three other children is in the drug trial records.

None of the other families work at Flaxco anymore.

You're the governor.

Convince Flaxco to hand them over.

I'll beg if I have to.

Where are Cabe and Sylvester?

You haven't eaten today. If you don't take care of yourself, then you can't

anyone else.

Are you barking at me now?

I'm here to help you guys.

Here, they're here.

Hey. When are we getting the Blasko records?

Blasko says they're not going to give them to us yet.

They want to help, but their lawyers are complaining about breaking patient

confidentiality with a politician.

They say it'll take 12 hours to get us access.

Walter, I saw the governor's daughter.

She doesn't have 12 hours.

Kids dying in their stonewalling?

Masters won't budge. What about a quarter?

24 hours a lead.

How hard did you push him, Kate?

You know me.

I tried as hard as I could.

I've been trying to hack Black's Coast records, but all confidential drug

are kept on an air -gapped system.

That means it's not connected to the web. We can't get it.

If I had another copy kept in my hand right now, I'd smash it. I don't think

blame you.

Okay. Hey, call the governor.

Ask if Laksico keeps hard copies of the study files.

Why am I asking?

We're going to break in.

I understand that we need to get all of the patients for the Black's Code drug

trial. I get that that is where we are going to find the person who keeps

these kids sick, but I think I would be better suited for an advisory role.

Sylvester, if Cave gets caught, it's federal time. If Paige gets caught, she

loses Ralph. Happy and Toby are the distraction.

I could be the distraction. No, no, no. You need to memorize the files. No one

else can do that. It's over 100 pages long.

I'm going to be reading the layout and guiding you through the building, okay?

Okay. I'm still not clear on what this has to do with Earl's sub shop across

street. Vlaxgo has a brutal security firewall that would take hours to hack,

they also have hundreds of employees. So statistically, one of them is going to

order from Earl's today.

I've hacked into the sub shop server and I've placed a Trojan shell on their PDF

menu. Your Trojan horse is a two for one sub coupon. That's a really good deal.

Earl knows his way around a Hogan. Now, as soon as someone clicks on the PDF

menu and downloads the coupon, we're past the Black Tooth Firewall.

It's lunchtime, so it shouldn't take long.

I'm in. All right, just going through HR.

Just looking through the employee security badges.

I'll be damned.

All right, look for someone in middle management.

Guy driving a low -level luxury sedan, trying to keep up with the VPs.

That's the one that can really get angry.

Jed Hauser, just copying his data.

Should have a bogus security badge in a few seconds.

Riding over to Happy.

Good luck, Sly.

Governor, may have some good news for you here in a while.

It's an involved operation. I'll run it down for you later.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Governor.

How's she? She's holding on as best she can.

Walter lied to me earlier about his sister, said she'd gotten over a

illness.

But I saw a letter that said she's in a care facility battling MS.

He doesn't talk about her much. I know, but when he's reminded of her, he

smashes things and tackles people and does daytime robberies.

He's trying to give me as much space as I can.

Third message.

Just want to reiterate, I am making real money now. Can start to repay you.

Even if you're seeing someone, it's totally immaterial.

You can call me back anytime.

She's not getting back with you.

Look, people only let you down. The sooner you realize that, the better.

That's a cynical worldview.

When I was two, my dad took me to St. Luke's, handed me to a nurse, and said,

find her a good home.

Thanks to how my brain works, I remember every moment of it.

So 25 years later, I'm not cynical.

I'm smart.

You put a quarter -inch wrench on a quarter -inch bolt, it works.

Tools don't let you down. Only people do.

Spending your life scared to connect to anyone isn't any way to live.

Software just picked up Jed Housler's license plate.

Let's go find his car.

The laboratories have disease samples, Walter, like the plague. They have the

actual plague. Sylvester, you're not going near the biohazard lab. I'm going

be talking you through the whole way. Okay, you guys ready?

Looking for Jed Housler's car.

There. Punch it, sister.

Excuse me, my wife is the world's worst driver. Could you find out who owns this

car? You can do this.

Just walk in, look at the files, walk out.

That's our guy.

Sylvester, you're on.

You need to get out of there before he comes back and swipes his real ID.

Who? He looks angry. Perfect.

What the hell did you do to my car?

Not me, him.

Who was driving?

You distracted me. Stop talking as a distraction.

Constant complaining is distraction.

Hey!

Can we please talk about the damage to my car? My bad.

Love the stash.

Um, 300, we'll call it a day. There's thousands in damage here.

350.

Give me your insurance papers.

Hey, you recently divorced.

There's a tan line where your wedding ring would be.

I only ask because I think I'm about to pull that trigger myself.

All right, you're looking for 2008, January to August, Trexacaine trial

Okay, I got the box.

Okay, get the name of every patient in the trial.

How long is that going to take?

Accuracy is bliss.

Do you see this cold as Pennsylvania steel?

Maybe if you know how to warm me up.

That's my supervisor who's going to kick my ass. Well, he can win.

You're the guy just a step ahead of me. You're back in the single scene, trading

boxers for briefs, hitting the gym, scoring hair plugs. Get the hell out of

way and leave your info at the desk.

Not good.

We couldn't hold our patsy any longer. Sit back in.

There he is.

Mr. Hausler, they're saying you're already in here.

Well, clearly I'm not.

I don't want you to panic, but the guards know you're in the building.

Oh, boy.

Security's been alerted. They're coming towards the file room. Okay, all done.

Now, you can get out through the doors in the back to your left.

Walter, you said no biohazard.

You have to.

Anthrax! Last year, the CDC exposed 86 of their own people to anthrax, Walter.

There could be anthrax back there. Listen, you have no other way out.

there's got to be... Walter!

I am in a dirty room, Walter.

Just stay calm. Head out the side door. Do you see it?

Yes. Yeah, there's a service hall on the other side. Head down there to the exit

and we'll be waiting for you.

Sylvester, pick up the pace, pal.

Don't know if you can push him too hard here, Walter.

This is my worst nightmare.

Literally.

I have had this one.

Oh. Guards are getting closer, Sylvester.

I can't touch that handle.

Logically, it's probably one of the cleanest handles in the world. Much

than a public bathroom.

I don't touch those either. Open the damn door. Because if you think this

dirty, wait until you're in a prison cell. Which is where they will take you

you don't open the door.

Oh.

Come on, Sylvester. Get the hell out of there now.

Hey, not being page working. Sylvester, it's Paige. What if you take off your

sweater and put it around your hand?

What kind of deterrent against a lethal spore is a polycotton blend?

Think of something else.

So you got a paycheck today. What are you going to do with your money?

Get rid of it. Money makes me nervous.

Okay, then close your eyes and get rid of it.

Okay. You need to hand over the money.

All right. Pull down and run like hell.

We got nothing.

Her fever's worse.

She's in decline.

Where are we, folks?

Well, based on the names Sylvester got us, we're pulling background on the

people from the Vlaxco trial.

Now we can look for our suspect.

The last participant in the trial.

So, we have 50 names here. One of them is our biohacker.

How do we narrow it down?

Our bad guy's gotten kids sick and made sure the parents knew it was done

intentionally. That's a real angry dude. Take it from someone who has dropped a

fortune at Games of Chance. Nothing makes the psyche more vindictive than

It's primal. Through vengeance, humans wrongly believe they can be made whole

again. We need to find whoever lost the most from this drug not being approved.

So, 20 test subjects showed no improvement from the drug. So they

lose anything from being part of the trial. They entered sick, they left

We're done, 30.

Same with those who got the placebo. Their situation didn't change. They

have been disappointed they didn't get the real drug, but that's not lost.

Five died since the trial ended. They're all out. Okay, here's where we get down

to the nitty -gritty.

Guys left have all suffered loss. All would have improved with the Trexacaine

drug.

Benjamin Carlyle, maybe?

32 years old, entrepreneur, making six figures.

When he started the study, he was engaged, rolled on a string. Where is he

begging for charity for his treatment, blogging pretty angrily regarding his

degenerating condition, and no longer engaged.

If I lost a fiancé to a disease that could have been cured, I'd consider

revenge. That's not the guy.

This is Robert Richter, single dad.

According to this, his child responded well to the meds, but died after the

trial was scrapped.

He lost more than anyone.

You're basing this purely on emotion.

There's entire sections of jurisprudence based on crimes of passion.

Emotion is as good as any of them, especially on a case like this.

Trust me.

Guys, there's a Robert Richter that works at Venice College of Science, and

is a microbiology professor.

There should be some evidence here in Richter's office.

I'm sorry, Mr.

Richter is gone for the day.

Maybe I should call campus security first?

I feel afraid, but my badge is bigger.

We'll take it from here.

All I have in here are exam papers.

Same here. Oh, look what I found.

He was computer modeling spray patterns.

Everybody loads a small aerosol device with the virus. All he's got to do is

a few feet from the victim, presses a button, and then he infects him with a

gene that'll kill only them.

Target never even knows.

It's a pretty sophisticated murder weapon.

It's very easy to make. He's got fast DNA sequenced through graphene -based

nanochannel hardware.

Today, genetic engineering is a hobby. If you're smart enough, you can be a

modern typhoid Mary.

What are you doing?

Happy was right.

Richter is a modern, typhoid Mary.

Emphasis on modern.

His daughter died in 2010.

The reason he had to wait years to retaliate is he had to wait for

catch up to his plans. But now that it has the same technology, it might be the

thing that stops him.

Here. Saved in the memory of the sequences for the killer genes.

How does that help us?

We send this to CDC.

They can follow the blueprint backwards to reverse engineer what Richter did in

two hours. They can save the people he infected. They can make an antidote.

Before I send that... I'm positive.

Great work.

Oh, considering we just saved four kids, maybe we earned a celebratory toast.

Sylvester? You really think I'm going to drink something out of a Biolabs

fridge?

Hey. Whoa.

Yeah, don't celebrate just yet.

There's another sequence here.

It's a fifth target.

Fifth target? That spam creep said he only sent four email viruses.

Well, maybe this guy didn't get an email because he's special to Richter.

Special how?

This sequence also appears in a file in Richter's laptop referring to...

He's the governor.

The last one is Governor Lane, but the sequence is different from the others.

The sequence targets the potassium channel in the heart, killing the person

instantly.

He nodded at house. His wife said he ditched security and went out the back.

They don't know where he went.

The only thing that can keep a man away from his dying child is if he thinks he

can make her better.

Richter called him.

I promised him an antidote. The governor would meet with him and just hear him

out.

He's not going to give the governor an antidote. He's going to give him the

virus. It's not just going to make him suffer.

It's going to stop the governor's heart within seconds.

I put an alarm on the governor's family car.

Why the hell isn't he answering his cell phone?

It's not on. Even if it were, he wouldn't answer.

GPS. We'll track him soon.

Toby, what about Richter? I'm getting a beat on his phone, too.

I got Richter's cell record.

Last call was to Governor Lane 15 minutes ago.

I warned the governor about irrational behavior. I told him not to do anything

stupid.

Got him. Got the governor. He's at Marina Beach Plaza. Really? Well, then

a problem, because so is Richter.

Spread out. We need to find a governor.

I

got

nothing up here.

Ditto that in the rotunda.

Lower level's clear.

Let me think about how this would go down. He sees the police and knows it's

to happen fast, but private.

Toby, anything?

He wouldn't wait in the open. He's not with all the police. Some place in here,

but some place quiet. Side hallways, maybe.

I'm Richter. We're on our way.

This movement sports a target. I got eyes on him.

Cave, if he even gets close, Governor Landon's dead.

Homeland Security, don't move!

He expelled the virus.

Should be aerosolized in ten seconds.

Based on where the governor's standing, the interior, wind patterns, and

scattered ramps. Now you have seven seconds.

What are you doing?

Making it rain.

What? We'll take down the virus soon.

Two seconds, Walter.

Well, if it didn't, he'd be dead by now.

He said he had an antidote. No, sir.

We already sent the antidote for your daughter. He was trying to kill you.

Agent Gallo.

She's going to be fine.

So glad to hear it, Governor.

I'll tell my team.

The antidote to CDC synthesized is working.

Tell him his fever broke.

We're getting reports of the same from the other victims.

You think I care, getting caught, dying in prison?

I died when my daughter did.

I just didn't feel that I should be the only one to feel the pain I experienced.

You're not.

I know what it feels like to sit at your child's bedside.

Watching each breath they take, Brandon, won't be their last.

To hold your daughter's hand, trying to memorize what it feels like so

you won't forget.

Your daughter, too scared to close her eyes, even when she's so tired because

she's worried she won't be able to open them again.

to live with them you don't take innocent lives

shouldn't be listening to this

that man deserved to

die they all deserved to feel my pain no they didn't

no one deserves it

Hey, I'm going to get Ralph.

I got him a new telescope and I thought we might set it up on the roof and

grill. Want to join it?

Maybe later, but thanks.

Okay.

Isn't that called trying to unring a bell?

Sometimes it's okay to admit you don't have all the answers.

You know about my sister, don't you?

She's still sick.

It's not really my business.

I was just trying to help you today.

For me, my mind, every problem has a solution.

There must be a solution for her.

Hey.

I should never have yelled at you earlier.

You're the bravest person I've ever met.

That girl would have died today without you.

Without us.

Federal Transpo just came around back and picked up Richter.

I'm on my way out. Ralph and I are going to barbecue some burgers up on the

roof. It would really help if you could keep an eye on him while I work the

grill.

Excuse me. Can I help you? Yes, this is for the kids.

But nothing for the biology department.

Or a lab of any kind.

Something fun.

And safe.

Toby, it's me.

I'm really glad things are going well for you, but I don't care about the

you owe.

I moved on.

Please do the same.

Don't call again.

Bye.

All in.

You didn't even see your cards yet. I don't have to.

I see you.

Your sister has the best paycheck we have.

Never quit.

I got my first paycheck.

Well, I hope you're going to do something fun. You deserve it.

Yeah, I'm going to do something for you.

MS is my fight, not yours.

I'm not going to let you die, Megan.

I'm going to fix you.

Another medium well?

Another. The last one was raw.

Hi, Walter.

Ralph? I think I'm done. Ralph, come check this out.

See all the stars? There's millions of them right there.

You got a notepad?

You know, having a family can be a hard thing.

Makes you vulnerable.

I know.

It can be a good thing, too.

Hey, Ralph, if you look at the curvature of the moon's surface, Orion's belt

makes a perfect horizontal tangent line.

Isn't that cool?

It is cool.

Thank you.

No problem.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
