Previously on The Strain Every contact with the outside world has been

severed. There's no way they're getting that warhead into the city.

Jack, help!

Come on!

Jack! No!

You gave Abby a gift. She's part of the Master's family now.

And she will never betray you again.

A230385

Your companion's blood smells like yours.

No! And now this one too.

No!

Augustine.

The professor would want us to wake him to give him the white.

I just hated it.

A Strigoi in a perfectly tailored suit.

Who just happens to be missing a hand.

I need to be sure.

Look for the head.

Looks like it was poisoned.

We need to find the Professor.

Hey.

It's just me.

God.

What the hell happened?

Where's the trachea in Alex?

Alex didn't make it.

And the old man?

Is he okay?

Are you all right, Sir Dracula?

I don't have much time.

How long ago were you infected?

What are your symptoms?

If we can get all the facts, maybe we can figure out a way to slow down this.

You cannot help me, Doctor.

I still have work to do.

How goes it, fellas?

Cold one, huh?

No one's allowed to be out here.

Okay, you know, no one told me that.

Arm band.

Yeah.

All right, search it.

O'Malley, what the hell's going on up there?

Hey, just stay where you are.

What the hell?

Nice work.

Both of you.

It's good to be home.

And now what?

Only gonna carry the bomb wherever your friends are?

It doesn't have to.

Anyway, it's my turn to drive.

How is everybody?

Maybe they've been sequestered.

Rome was like this for a time.

Back in the 14th century.

Like?

Wall Street.

Where you taking us, man?

The safest place to park the nuke that I could think of.

The government kept a shit ton of gold in this place, right?

Think it's still in here? Doesn't matter. Gold is worthless now.

Yeah, but the building is still set up at the back.

You really think the nuke's gonna be safe just like sitting here while we go

find your friends?

I mean, what if the partnership comes poking around?

That's an excellent point, Roland.

Keep it set to channel two.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, uh -uh.

Now, this is not a good idea. Have you so little faith in your own abilities?

No.

I just feel like y 'all are going to leave me down here to die.

Only if you die of boredom, Roman.

We'll send word as soon as we can.

Hey.

Hold on.

You can't just set us out like this.

You have to let us help you.

There must be something that we can do.

What about the white?

Yes.

If it can slow down the aging process, then maybe it has a similar effect on

replication of worms.

The white is useless against the parasite itself. There is nothing to be

When we find the old man, tell him we got the news.

You think he might finally give me a smile?

Yeah, just like that one.

You have visitors.

Hey.

What's going on?

Hey, Professor.

Sorry it took so long, but we finally got you.

This can't be happening.

Professor, next, next.

Take a seat.

of what I wanted to find there.

A concrete way of killing the master, but I was

wrong.

I have gone back in and I understand now what we have to do.

We have to separate the master from all his collaborators.

Lumen says the power of the beast resides not within itself,

but within its limbs.

Those who willfully do its bidding and provide its sustenance.

Humans acting out of deluded self -interest

once we cut them away.

He will be weakened.

We will then be able to strike, but this last move will come at a cost.

It will require an act of self -sacrifice.

Professor, what about the nuke?

Please, do not let the work I've done be in vain.

Promise me.

Does anyone want to say something?

I have been a witness to human mortality for more than 2 ,000 years.

human life is too often just a flicker in the darkness.

We should not mourn this man.

His death was inevitable.

Instead, we should remember what it is that he showed us.

That the real impact of a life depends on will.

The determination to keep on fighting, no matter the cost.

His life was a beacon.

For all of us.

Mr. Fett.

He would want you to have this.

To carry on his work.

He must have taken all of it.

You know, I told him this was poison.

I never thought he would... He wasn't gonna let them win.

Not while they had any fight left in them.

Alex. Were you there when she died?

By the time I got there, she was already down.

I saw my cousin die, though.

I, of course, wanted me to see it.

I'm sorry.

I'm just saying it's probably better that you didn't see what happened to

At least you got to say goodbye to the old man.

You know, when my father died, I was in India. I was working.

He had a sudden heart attack at a pancake breakfast at the Rotary Club.

I always thought if I could have seen him one lifetime, just talked to him,

it'd be easier somehow.

Not easier, different.

I'd be more settled.

You know, a lot of people I love die.

And I don't feel settled.

I feel... Like you wish you had them all back.

when I was out there.

The professor, he had the lumen.

He was burning the pages.

And I saw he was infected.

And that's weird, right?

It all basically came true.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Maybe you were just dreaming about what you were most afraid of.

Yeah.

What do you think?

I just spent nine months getting a nuke for the old man, and, uh... I

don't see anything.

Where's the face of God in all of this?

Sir Trakin told me he was wrong about the face of God.

Wrong how?

I'm not really sure.

He was caught up in this new idea of cutting off the master from his

collaborators. You heard him.

Yes, we did.

And with all due respect, he may not have been in his right mind at the time.

It's possible that the voice we heard was not the trackings at all, but the

master trying to lead us astray. I don't believe that. Well, that's fine,

because it's not about what we believe. It's about what we know, and we know

that a bomb wiped out the ancients. No, we don't know that. We presume that.

What we know is that his last bomb killed thousands of people, and it

a nuclear war that killed millions of people, and plunged us into nuclear

winter. So I'm a little wary of setting off another one.

We need to gather all of our weapons as soon as possible.

Why?

You got a big sale coming up?

Nah, no more selling.

We're done with all that.

We're putting everything we got into the fight with the Strigoi and the Master.

And that includes all of us.

Do you think you can tell me what to do?

Where's Karim?

He tried to make a deal with the Strigoi and it didn't go so well.

Last I saw him, he was trying to drink my blood.

So I drove a dagger into his big -ass mouth.

Now that's what I'm trying to tell you.

We can't think that this doesn't involve us anymore.

Every deal you make, every decision you think you're making, the Master has a

hand in it.

And if we don't fight, we're helping him win.

Now if you think you're tougher than cream...

You can go.

Do what you gotta do.

I'm not gonna stop you.

So what are we doing? We know that sunlight won't kill him.

Cutting off his head doesn't work. Neither does putting him in a box.

It's astonishing to me that we're still debating this.

The Master's clearly afraid of us attacking him with a nuke. He just blew

bridge and tunnel onto Manhattan to try and keep us from bringing one anywhere

near him. That may be true, but I still agree with Ev.

Vaporizing a city full of people is not the way to save humanity.

Most of those people are working with the partnership.

You also keep on doing what Satrakian said, cutting off the master's

collaborators, and I think setting off a nuclear bomb is an excellent way of

doing that.

You did say that killing the master would come at a cost.

Yeah, some sort of self -sacrifice, not mass annihilation.

All right. And, uh, what's your idea, Doc?

Huh? Come on, dazzle us.

You want me to toss out the nuke just because you're telling me to? You made

promise of subtracting. Does that not mean anything to you?

This is a waste of time.

Where are you going?

To get the bomb.

Hey! Hang on.

What are you going to do?

Is he just going to go get it and set it off?

We don't know where the master is yet.

How do you propose we find him? Should we hand out flyers?

We know the master is somewhere on the island. If we set the bomb to the

possible yield, the odds of killing him are good.

Have you not heard a word that we've said?

Yes, and not one of them has convinced me in the slightest.

You're not setting off that nuke. You really think you're going to stop me,

Doctor? All right, boys.

I think I have a way to find the Master.

How?

Sanjay Desai.

He works at the Partnership Medical Facility where Satrakian and I were

held. He used to meet with Eichhorst all the time. He's at the top of the

Master's pile of human shit.

If we grab him, we can bring him back here and make him tell us where the

is.

We'd be taking a collaborator from him.

That's what the old man wanted us to do.

Regardless of what we wind up doing with the nuke.

Not only that, we can get everyone out of that horrible place.

Our enemies are closing in.

They have managed to bring an atomic bomb onto this island.

You know the devastation such a weapon can cause.

Yes.

Of course you do.

Now, everything we have achieved is at risk.

The peace we have established is being eroded.

They will not stop until they have incinerated us all.

There must be something we can do.

There is something.

It's rather delicate.

A task only you can perform.

Me?

Yes, my son.

You are uniquely suited for it.

What happens next will determine the fate of all of us.

You have to go out for a while.

You have nothing to worry about, Zack.

You were born to do this.

That's why the Master chose you.

Wow.

You're so hot.

I mean, like, you're warm in the body.

I lost my sword, and we can't all be wearing them now.

Seems you've got a pretty good idea about what we're going up against.

I only know what it was like when I left. I'm sure they've amped up the

since.

We should be ready for anything.

Makes me sick that you're out right there.

Not half as sick as it makes me.

What brought about your recommitment to the cause?

Something the professor said.

Made me realize that no matter how hard you try, you can't escape what you're

right in the middle of.

I'm sure he was pleased you came to your senses.

Yeah, but not for long.

They found him because of me.

And the fact that they've been hunting him for years.

Don't dwell on it.

There are far more guilty people than you.

You have no idea what I've done.

I don't need to.

I'm sure the list is long and tedious.

One thing I do know.

Whipping your own back won't make you stronger.

It'll only distract you.

I have a load of prisoners who I'm to take to the drainage room immediately.

Is there a problem?

It's just that prisoners are usually taken to the loading dock for sorting.

I'm under special orders.

Yes, sir. Sorry.

Come on in.

Everyone clear on where they're going?

Just remember, the longer you can go without raising the alarms, the better

is for everyone.

Radios.

Kind of weird.

The big shot collaborator still has his office next to a bunch of locked up

pregnant women.

It's his pet project.

He likes to keep an eye on how all the women are coming along.

Make sure everything's running on schedule.

You sure this mission isn't all about revenge?

Never all about one thing, Doc.

Oh, we know that.

This is you.

Good luck, Doc.

You too.

The boat was left abandoned up here 16.

Along with the bodies of four of our river patrolmen.

And I'm going to assume that this stolen delivery boat, it was of the size that

could accommodate a nuclear warhead.

What? I hate to bother you, sir.

I'm sure it's nothing, but there was an unusual delivery at the south garage

door. It was a van full of prisoners.

The driver said that he was heading straight for drainage.

You knew about this, right?

When the hell did this happen?

Just a few minutes ago.

There's something you want?

Nothing.

Forget it.

Have a good one.

Look, I don't know who this mystery van driver of yours is, but there is nobody

at drainage.

I'm going to use really small words so you don't screw it up.

Get this place locked down tight.

Open all the doors.

Please don't make me kill somebody today.

I'm no traitor.

They're in the building.

They're right up in that office.

Murphy!

All right, let's get everybody out of the cages.

This way. Go.

Miranda?

Where's Rosalinda? Did she make it out? I don't know. I haven't seen her. I have

no idea.

Murphy, get him in the tanning room. All three of you, get in there now. Go, go.

Move it.

Block the door.

You, get on the ground.

Murphy, stay here. We're safer here.

The Spigs will come up from drainage to help us. We've just got to hold them off

long enough until they get here.

Stay back, Dutch!

Or all these young mothers are dead.

Hey!

Not another step there, handsome.

If I don't, he'll do it.

What's the plan here?

Busload of Strigoi on their way right now. The longer that we wait, the harder

it's going to be to get out.

Go.

Go.

Don't hang on.

Not going to listen to me?

Fine. Shoot her.

God damn it, Murphy! Shoot her!

Fine. I'll do it myself. Don't! Please!

God damn it! Come here!

Alright, come on, let's go.

You know you're not getting out of here, right?

You're going to end up like your little buddy, Rosalinda, tossing the

incinerator.

You really

think

he's going to talk when he wakes up?

He'll talk eventually.

here if it weren't for her.

I'd probably still be down in Philly, hiding out.

Or worse, I could be in a feedlot.

Hey, we bumped into this kid out there.

Said he was looking for you.

What kid?

Where? I don't know, man. Some kid.

He was in the market on MLK.

But don't worry.

We didn't tell him anything.

What did he look like?

My kid.

This is tall, skinny, dark, longish hair.

That describes a lot of kids, Doc.

And even if by any chance this is him, why would he be looking for you now,

after all this time with the Master?

You mean the market by the Harlem River?

Yeah.

I know, I know. You're both probably right.

But I have to see for myself.
