All language subtitles for Zoo 01 X 03 - The Silence of the Cicadas

(Robert): For centuries, mankind
has been the dominant species.

We've domesticated
animals, locked them up,

killed them for sport.

But what if, all across the globe,

the animals decided: "no more"?

What if they finally decided to fight back?

Previously on "Zoo"...

(Abraham): Rise and shine, Jackson.

We have a dozen impatient Swedes

waiting for us to show them the rhinos.

Go now!

(Lion roars, Chloe screams)

My father made all these tapes.

He talks about a "defiant pupil".

Indisputable proof that
his they was correct.

Maybe my father wasn't entirely crazy.

- Hey there, Chloe.
- Oh. Hi.

You leaving?

I'm going back to Paris.

Your father's ideas were rejected

by every one of his peers.

- Harvard revoked his chair.
- What if they're wrong?

What if they're all wrong?

- He was the laughingstock!
- What if everyone else is wrong?

At some point, your father
found his way to Japan.

Whatever is left of his research...

this is where you'll find it.

Mitch Morgan?

I'm Jamie Campbell. We spoke on the phone.

Right.

- L.A. Telegraph.
- You're the animal coroner?

Veterinary pathologist.

The beef those lions
were fed came from cows

that fed on grain that was

treated with pesticides from Reiden Global.

Meaning it caused aberrant behavior?

Exactly.

(Mitch): I think these lions

are communicating

with each other.

- Abe...
- If you go, I go with you.

Besides, I think Japanese
women are very sexy.

I'm sure they're gonna find you sexy, too,

in a beaten-up kind of way.

Chloe Tousignant?

- Oui.
- You may be uniquely suited to help us.

I'm afraid that the fate
of the world may hinge on it.

This is Nicholas Bradshaw.

He came to Kamnik a
week ago to adopt a son.

Yesterday he was massacred by dogs.

(Laughing): Massacred by dogs?

Don't be ridiculous.

You're right.

One man does not a massacre make.

But look around.

Six.

(Roaring)

- (Roaring)
- (Screaming)

- I'm sorry. I've got to...
- I know this is upsetting, but

I needed to show you tangible
evidence of what I suspect

- you're already beginning to realize.
- And what is that?

That something very strange is
occurring in the animal kingdom.

And I'd like your help in
getting to the bottom of it.

Why me?

I'm not a field agent.

My expertise lies in human attacks,

not animals.

If that is what you need,
I'm sorry, I'm not your girl.

Ms. Tousignant, I've thoroughly vetted you.

You're one of the top intelligence analysts

at the DGSE, you speak five languages.

You understand virtually
every culture on Earth.

Perhaps there are others
who meet these criteria,

but given what you witnessed in Africa,

you are exactly what I need.

(Indistinct crowd chatter, music playing)

- Business or pleasure?
- What?

17 hours in airplane seats
not suited for children.

Two hours trying to hail a cab.

Another hour searching

through city streets with teens
dressed like circus clowns.

(Women giggle)

And did I mention, I haven't
been off the African Continent

in over a decade?

So I am asking: which
one do we conquer first?

Business or pleasure?

Let's find the address.

Then you can... partake in

whatever it is you feel like partaking.

(Engine revving, crowd chatter)

(Abraham): This is it.

(Buzzer sounds)

We are looking for the former residence

of Dr. Robert Oz.

Jackson?

Thank you.

And now we border
treacherously on stalking.

I don't know whether to be
freaked out or flattered.

Be grateful.

What's that?

The paper has offered
to fly us to New Orleans

to meet with Senator Dixon Vaughn.

He's head of the Environment

and Public Works Committee there.

A little premature, don't you think?

We have solid evidence
against Reiden Global.

We don't have anything
close to solid evidence.

Are you kidding me? Look...

we know those lions were communicating

over large distances.

That's not evidence. It's a theory.

Yes, we have a mutation

that seems to be producing
a hive-like mind in lions...

same kind that exists in bees,

some kind of super-organism...

but that's more crazy
than it is anything else.

And it's a hell of a long way off

from pinning the blame on Reiden Global.

Look, Senator Vaughn is
from my home district.

He's a good man. He will listen.

Our theory is at least enough to get
him to launch an investigation.

Look, I have classes, I have students.

I have laundry.

I would think that if
there's even a possibility

that Reiden Global is turning
lions into super-organisms,

that would be a priority
for you, but it's fine.

I'll just, um, take my findings
to a guy I know at Caltech.

Oh, now they're your findings?

This is the kind of
stuff that leads to tenure

and chairmanships.

Appealing to what you perceive

to be my outsized ego lacks subtlety.

And Louisiana is lovely this time of year.

I recognize you from a handful of photos

your father kept.

(Jackson): I apologize, Minako.

I had no idea that my
father had got remarried.

Ah.

Please sit.

We met at Harvard six years ago.

(Speaking Japanese)

I was writing my thesis

on trophics interaction
and plankton ecology,

and I became fascinated
with Robert's work on

animal evolution.

After he was fired from the university,

he sunk into a deep depression.

I convinced him to continue his work

and offered to use my
family's money to sustain us.

He was, at that time, quite penniless.

So, you were with him during...?

His breakdown?

Yes.

Love is difficult.

When you stick with someone
during the hard times.

But, of course,

that is when they need you the most.

If you have come now,

two years after your father's death,

it must be because you need something.

A pride of male lions

in Africa...

their-their behavior was, uh...

Troubling.

I believe that my father

may have additional research that
can shed some further light on the lions',

um... changing behavior.

So it has begun.

The awakening of the
animals' cognitive acuity.

I would love to give you the
rest of your father's work, but

it is not here.

It remains where he conducted
his final experiments.

Where is that?

(Minako): Your father
became paranoid.

He began hiding his findings.

Coding everything, even from me.

I finally convinced him that

somebody other than himself
needed to be in on his genius.

What are those?

Rads meters.

You need to wear these at all times.

They let us know when we've
taken in too much radiation.

Why should we be worried
about radiation exposure?

Your father selected an island

30 kilometers outside of Fukushima.

Fukushima?

As in nuclear reactors,
radiation leaks and deadly fallout?

He called it his
"Ghost of Christmas Future."

Coming to this island

worked for your father.

The last time we spoke, he was so thrilled.

He said he finally understood.

Understood what?

I suspect... why the animal
behavior was changing.

I don't know.

He did not want to say over the phone.

But before I could make
the trip out here...

(Thudding)

(Jackson): That's a bat.

That's flying a little high, isn't it?

And a little too early in the day.

(Squeaking and thudding)

(Pilot speaks Japanese)
What's going on out there?

(Speaking Japanese)

(Loud, mechanical humming)

(Overlapping chatter)

(Pilot): Mayday! Mayday!

(Engine revving, bats squeaking)

Zoo season 01 episode 03
"The Silence of the Cicadas"

(Man): "The wolf and the
lamb shall feed together,

"and the lion shall eat straw

"like the bullock,

and dust shall be the serpent's meat."

All done, Evan Lee.

You ready?

(Thunder rumbles)

(Evan Lee): "And God said,
'Let the earth bring forth

the living creature after his kind."

"The cattle

"and the creeping things

"and the beasts of the
earth after his kind;

and it was so."

(Guard): Let's go, Evan Lee.
Time to see the warden.

(Warden): Evan Lee, I'd...

like to get you to reconsider
speaking to the widow.

It's just kind of best for
everybody if we just move on.

Answer's still... no.

Well, now, you... suit yourself.

But tomorrow night, you're
gonna be getting the needle.

And if you really believed in a hereafter

and any kind of mercy there,

go and give the widow
what she's asking for.

I'm beyond mercy.

- Get him out of here.
- Yes, sir.

(Thunder rumbling)

Okay.

Okay what?

Okay, you're right.

It's time to make amends.

(Gasps)

- Abe!
- (Abraham): Over here!

- I can't find the pilot!
- Keep looking!

Come on.

Come back. Come on.

The pilot is gone.

Is... she not breathing?

Don't stop. What are you doing?
What are you doing? Don't stop.

- Jackson.
- Come on. Come on.

- Jackson. Jackson.
- Come on. Come on.

- Come on! Come on!
- Jackson.

Jackson!

(Indistinct police transmission)

Oh...

I still have no idea what help I can be.

I study patterns. I process information.

Your skill set is exactly what I need.

Those poor people were attacked by dogs.

Presume the attack was human.

- This is ridiculous.
- Ridiculous?

You mentioned that. Humor me.

Look with a different eye.

The bodies in the morgue were
in various states of decomposition,

indicating the attacks
took place over weeks.

It is clear why the
victims weren't discovered

for some time, but why
were they not missed?

Perhaps they were targeted because...

they had few ties to the community.

For instance...?

Visitors.

People without roots
in the city or the area.

Tourists.

Good. Anything else?

It's a question of motive.

If the victims were killed

with no possible gain to their killers...

What?

If we were dealing with a human suspect...

multiple victims over time,

murdered in a place where their
bodies wouldn't be discovered...

there would only be one
possible explanation.

And what is that?

They're honing their skills.

- Honing their skills?
- Yes. But why?

This was not humans but dogs.

What purpose would it serve them
to be more efficient murderers?

You do understand the problem.

The question remains,

are you willing to join me

and do something about it?

(Woman): I'm sorry miss, I can't
rent you a car because

it's saying your credit card is declined.

Are you sure?

- Could you try it again?
- Sure.

Well, I knew the newspaper
biz was in the weeds,

but getting a corporate
card knocked back...

Actually, now it's saying
to cut up the card.

No, no, no. That-that
won't be necessary. Um...

Okay.

Suppose we can use one of mine.

I'm sure The Telegraph
will reimburse me.

Right?

This trip has nothing to do with
The Telegraph, does it?

It did.

And then it didn't.

Because I was fired.

I spent my last $800
getting us here. I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't have lied to you,

but I did it for a good reason.

Yeah. That's the problem with you.

Your "good reason"
barometer is on the fritz.

Wait, where are you going?

We still have a meeting with the senator.

You have a meeting with the senator.

I'm getting on the next flight back to L.A.

Call your guy at Caltech. Although,
unlike me, the guys at Caltech are smart.

They're not gonna fall
for your Reiden ramblings.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait.

The flight doesn't leave for eight hours.

Yeah, I'll get one of those chair massages.

A really long one.

Or you could spend two of those eight hours

meeting the senator,

laying out the findings that could

eventually lead

to your securing a-a Nobel Prize.

A Nobel Prize?

Okay, maybe not a Nobel Prize

but-but a different kind of prize.

The kind of prize that makes you
feel really good about yourself.

Come on Mitch, can I ... Can I
at least show you something first?

The pilot sent an SOS beacon

on our way down. We can expect a rescue.

But in who knows how long?

How do hundreds of bats
fly 5,000 feet higher

than they normally do?

Perhaps the radiation?

(Radiation detector ticking)

How far do you think it is
to my father's compound?

From the plane, maybe three kilometers.

We could make it there and
back before the rescue arrives.

This thing suvived the crash, but

I don't even know what
these numbers mean.

Green.

Maybe we're safe.

(Indistinct radio transmission)

(Evan Lee): "The wolf also shall
dwell with the lamb, and the leopard

"shall lie down with the kid;

"and the calf and the young
lion and the fatling together;

and a little child shall lead them."

Ms. Blanchard, thank you for
taking the time to come down.

I was surprised to get your call.

Well, most death row inmates, in the end,

they like to clear their
conscience before execution.

I hadn't held out much hope for Evan Lee,

but, well, here we are.

(Insects trilling)

(Jackson): I can't believe she's dead.

Jackson, we did everything
we could for her.

I know, but...

I would have liked to have thanked her.

For sticking by him.

It's a hell of a lot more
than my mother and I did.

Well, from everything you told me,

that was the best thing that could
have happened to all of you.

But what if we were
wrong and he was right?

Is it possible that we were
looking at the situation all wrong?

What we thought was a man on
the edge of sanity was actually

a man on the verge

of an extraordinary
evolutionary breakthrough.

Perception can sometimes stain reality.

It is why I don't tell
everybody about my past.

We should keep going.

_

I was 11 when my mom got sick.

She was one of the first ones.

Eventually, there were 26 more.

26 formerly healthy
members of the community.

Cancer clusters.

We tried to make a case, but...

by then, Reiden was this...

huge, monolithic super-corporation,

and we were just a bunch of
sick farmers in a tidewater town.

And who knows what causes cancer, right?

All you can do to avoid it,

good luck and good genetics.

Or so the thinking goes.

I'm sorry.

Do you have family?

I never asked.

Yeah, we're not close.

As you can imagine,

I'm an acquired taste.

Yeah, in the beginning.

In the end, though, you come through.

Anyway, I wanted to bring you here

to show you that I wasn't completely nuts.

I'm just very, very angry.

(Jackson): This must be the place.

- What's the radiation level?
- (Radiation detector chirping)

It's up to yellow.

We need to get in and then get out.

(Horse sputtering)

Dear Lord,

who removed the eyes.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay, boy.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Don't worry. It's okay.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- (Patting horse)

- (Loud sputtering)
- Don't worry, don't worry.

(Abraham): Oh, my God.

Jackson?

What exactly was your father doing here?

Thank you for making
the time for us, Senator.

Oh, my...

Beautiful.

Bag that yourself?

In Alaska, my 40th birthday.

- Reiden Global.
- (Chuckles)

We have been fighting
that fight for some time,

haven't we, Ms. Campbell?

Yes, we have, Senator,
but Dr. Morgan has found

the smoking gun we've been waiting for.

Yeah. Right.

Uh... it's possible that a
new mutation is allowing lions

in Los Angeles to communicate
with each other

over long distances.

Functioning as some sort of super-organism.

Although the evidence
of this is observational,

not quantitative.

Uh, what Dr. Morgan didn't mention is

that the mutation in the lions,

and some disturbing behavior
we witnessed in cats,

was preceded by exposure
to Reiden pesticides.

We can finally show

that Reiden is radically
altering animal genetic code.

I have been

with you on this, Jamie,
from the beginning.

- Mm.
- But as is the case sometimes

in these matters, things change.

What things?

See those shelves?

That is the result

of the investigations
my committee has launched

into Reiden Global.
For every motion we file,

they file ten.

For every lawyer we
have, they have a dozen.

Reiden is just too powerful.

They're everywhere!

- Well, Senator, this...
- I know

this has been important to you
for some time, Ms. Campbell,

but it is over.

Well,

we should go, Jamie.

Please.

Knowing when there's

no longer any sense in a fight, Jamie,

is what separates the
proud from the pathetic.

Good-bye.

Senator?

I did my grad school thesis on

the inverse proportionality
of taxidermy wall mounts

to their owners' penis size.

My condolences to your wife.

(Door creaking)

I'll check for a generator.

(Clinking, electrical buzzing)

Oh, I found horses eyeballs.

Lovely.

- I think I know why he came here.
- What do you mean?

My father.

He came here because
of the radiation,

because the animals were already changing.

But he was already experimenting
on animals back in Boston.

Yes, on changes and behavior that
were naturally occurring,

but I think here,

he realized the radiation
accelerated changes

in the animals' biological
makeup and behavior.

He would go to such lengths,

even to the detriment of his own health?

It's exactly what he would do.

This entire island was his petri dish.

The Ghost of Christmas Future.

(Indistinct male voice continues)

Gentle!

Bring down. Bring it down!
Bring down! No, no!

No! No, no! No...

He looks like he's aged

30 years since I last saw him.

Easy! Get the lead rope!

(Abraham): You see that?

The "defiant pupil".

Just like the lions.

(Indistinct chatter on screen)

So Vic, who
owns this place...

he's kept the decorations up for 15 years.

Since his wife died Christmas Eve.

How very Miss Havisham of him.

All right. Is this what you're gonna do?

"Bartender, pour me another"?

You're gonna drown your sorrows
'cause of a little setback?

(Laughs): A little setback?

Dude, I don't have a job.

I don't have an apartment.

I don't have any money.

And the last best chance I had

of nailing these bastards
just showed us the door.

Mm.

- Encore.
- (Barman): Yes, ma'am.

Wow.

Yeah, I was awful to my mother

the last year she was sick.

You were a kid.

Kids' brains access fear more
easily than they do compassion.

Fear of losing your mother
made empathy impossible.

I was ashamed of her.

Of her baldness.

Maybe that's why you're doing this.

Why you're off on this crusade.

Hmm? Make things right?

Well, no kidding, Sigmund. Duh.

Okay, listen.

Maybe I can work on the
theory back at the lab.

Few more tests, I can
come up with something

that even Reiden Global and their legion

of lawyers can't deny.

No. No.

Don't bother. It's over.

Why?

Look, I really appreciate everything

that you've done so far, but...

there's nothing for me there.

I'm gonna go call my uncle.

See if I can crash with
him till my next setback.

(Gaspard): Mitchell Morgan.

Yeah...

do I know you?

As you can see, the
matter is rather urgent.

So you claim.

Mystery Man in a Very Nice Suit.

I'm in town, actually.

Um... (Chuckles)

Yeah. Yeah, for work.

Yep. With the paper.

Uh... I, um...

I was thinking maybe we could...

we could catch up.

Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I'd love to come by.

I thought you'd jump at the chance,

with the funding in your
department severely cut,

your proposal for a state-of-the-art lab

being turned down,

and your fervent desire for confirmation

as to whether or not

lions can now communicate
over long distances.

Mystery Man in a Very
Nice Suit Who Knows Things.

Yeah.

All right, I'm in.

Very good.

On one condition.

(Mrs. Blanchard): I'm surprised
you agreed to see me.

Seems it's God's will.

Well, some might say a veiled attempt

to stave off any kind of
unforeseen unpleasantness

in the hereafter.

But I don't answer to them,

Miss Blanchard, only to you.

It's Mrs.

You've always maintained your innocence.

But I need the truth, Mr. Hartley.

Did you kill my husband?

I wasn't always like this.

Lusting.

Craving.

We played God.

And we paid a horrible price.

I was out there looking for the cure.

Out there in the woods.

That night, seeing your
husband and his friends

on that hunting trip...

it triggered something.

Watching men celebrate murder.

They made it easy.

Easy to kill.

Your husband was the first.

He was a little slower than the rest.

I took him down fast.

You should know

he didn't suffer, Miss Blanchard.

- My knife is fast.
- Mrs.

And before I got caught, I was out there
looking for another hunting party.

'Cause it had become...

It is now...

my nature.

I know you got questions about what I did.

But all the answers

are right here, Miss Blanchard.

Damn it, it's Mrs.

- Mrs. Blanchard.
- Is it, though?

Is it still?

You see, I thought

I removed the "Mrs."

when I removed Daniel's heart.

Guard! I want to leave!

- Now!
- (Pounding)

Guard! Open this door right now!

(Door opens)

(Robert): Day 47.

The "defiant pupil" has
been present for 16 days.

I have failed in isolating
and reversing the mutations.

The horses are becoming
increasingly aggressive.

This is impossible. Everything is in code.

(Sighs)

A little help here, Jackson?

The eyes are the window to the soul.

How does that help to decode this stuff?

Like you said before,

perception stains reality.

What if...

the "defiant pupil" is a signifier

that the way the animals see
the world is now changing?

It's affecting how they
interpret what they see.

What used to be a friend is now an enemy.

And because of this,

their behavior is changing.

What if that's

what my father had
discovered, and he thought

that the only way to change them back

was to remove their eyes.

He couldn't blind every
animal in the world.

No. I mean, of course not. Right?

That's-that's just ridiculous.

Only a crazy person would...

think that.

The radiation on the
island seemed to accelerate

the horses' violent behavior.

- Equine number 12
- (Woman shouts)

at one point attacked my assistant...

(Screaming)

biting her hand, and removing
two of the fingers.

At this point, I had enough.

(Door buzzes)

Ten minutes.

Then I get to watch you eat your last meal.

What'd you ask for?

Fish sticks.

(Low snarling)

(Chuckles)

Jackson?

What is it?

(Chuckles softly)

I remember this day.

We were in Western Mass.

We'd gone to go observe a family of deer.

You see? A joyful piece of
your father still remains.

Yeah.

Alongside the guy who thought

he could blind all of God's creatures.

It's quiet.

Why isn't...

The meter has stopped working.

(Rapid ticking)

That can't be good.

(Helicopter blades whirring in distance)

(Speaks indistinctly)

- Hey! Hey!
- Hey! Hey!

- Hey!
- We're here!

Let's go, Mr. Oz, Mr. Kenyatta!

- Who are you?
- There will be time

to answer your questions, but first
we must get you out of here.

Quickly, s'il vous pla�t.

You do realize we just traveled
halfway around the world

because some random French
guy asked us to, right?

Anything's better than that Christmas bar.

Jackson Oz,

Abraham Kenyatta,

Dr. Mitch Morgan and Jamie Campbell.

I know you all have many questions,

but if you'll please take a seat.

I know this was difficult,
but I'd like to think

at least it brought you some
small measure of closure.

It didn't.

Thank you for coming, Ms. Blanchard.

Damn shame to go and get murdered

when you got that fine
thing waiting at home.

(Chuckles)

(Growling)

No, no, no, no! Aah!

No, no, no!

Aah!

- (Growling)
- (Screaming)

Open the gate!

Aah!

- Help!
- Yes, sir!

(Alarm ringing)

(Growling) Aah!

I don't know... has been breached.

Wolfs are outside of here!

Get out of here! Get out of here!

(Growling)

(Shouting)

Go! Hurry up! Go!

Okay, this is weird.

Yeah. What exactly are we waiting for?

Monsieur...

Delavane.

Greetings. I apologize for
all the cloak and dagger.

(Wolves growling, people shouting)

The four of you are here
because your suspicions

over these last few weeks are correct.

You are all aware of lion killings

in Botswana and Los Angeles.

But there have also been a series

of dog attacks in Slovenia.

And in Japan, hundreds
of bats swarmed a plane

and brought it down into the ocean.

(Growling)

(Gasps)

In Jakarta, three Sumatran rhinoceros

turned over an SUV belonging

to a family of Norwegian tourists.

The rhinos waited
for the family...

father, mother,
two children...

- (Shrieking)
- to exit the vehicle

and then trampled them.

In Wuppertal, Germany,

six brown bears came
out of the Kothen Forest,

making their way to a
playground in mid-afternoon.

The massacre that followed left

seven children dead and another 14 injured.

Taken individually,

each of these incidents can just

be seen as a horrific, tragic event.

(Screaming)

- (Prisoner): No!
- (Alarm ringing)

(Delavane): I believe...

- they are evidence of something else.
- Close the door!

(Jackson): And what is that, exactly?

The global pandemic your father believed

was about to emerge.

It appears...

it has arrived.

Sorry... his father?

Professor Robert Oz.

- (Alarm ringing)
- (Growling)

Help me!

(Mitch): We're all here because

you believe that

the scientific theories
of a notorious crackpot

are now coming to pass?

Watch yourself, scrawny.

Mitch Morgan, as advertised.

This is all very interesting

and definitely disturbing, but...

none of this proves anything.

Certainly not the coming
of the animal apocalypse.

- (Alarm ringing)
- (Screaming)

And that's why I had Monsieur Alves
bring the five of you together.

Five? I count four.

(Gaspard): This is Chloe Tousignant.

She will also be working with you.

Hello.

Ms. Tousignant

will function as my proxy.

(Alarm ringing)

Come on, come on, open up!

(Delavane): As my eyes

and my ears.

Let's go!

Every decision that is
made will go through her.

Ms. Tousignant...

is in charge.

(Alarm ringing)

(Other wolves howling)

Something is most assuredly
going on out there.

All we want

is for you to figure out what it is.

(Alarm ringing, wolves howling)

Before it's too late.

(Wolves howling)
