Where's Stanley Turner? Who's in charge?
My husband's in charge, but we haven't

seen Stanley since yesterday.

Hey, where's my brother? I heard
Stanley's name on the scanner. He said

did.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to tap
you as a field agent? What if I freeze

again? Hey, I got you.

You got me, okay?

Manuel Santiago.

Flaco's telling you to keep on me?
You're seeing Flaco's guy? I'm not

him. Sometimes I see that gangbanger at
church and we talk about our day, okay?

You're the one who got drunk married in
Vegas.

The evidence locker window.

Every day, Kowalski would look out and
he would take stock.

The office is a living, breathing thing.
That's what Kowalski always said.

He charted its ups and downs, the ebbs
and flows.

What he saw from that window, it wasn't
always good.

It wasn't always happy. But what
mattered, he said, was that folks were

their heads together.

When the office was communicating, the
work was getting done right.

Cases were getting solved.

And more often than not, people could
make it home in time for dinner.

But every now and then, Kowalski would
look out the window and he'd notice that

things were off.

He'd notice that we were in our own
world.

We were operating next to each other
instead of with each other. And that's

he'd take action.

Hey, Smitty.

They close it down first tonight, right?

Kowalski cocktails, he called it.

Yeah. It was his way of team building.

Hey, kid. Yeah.

I'm calling Kowalski cocktails for
tonight. Make sure everyone knows.

Oh, can you have Mary Jo do it? Trying
to get this thing wrapped up. Right.

Sorry to bother you. I thought you had
leadership goals.

What? I thought you wanted to be a team
leader someday.

What does being team leader have to do
with telling people about drinks?

Hey, Mike. What do you need?

I got a guy coming by to fix my TV.

I'm calling Kowalski Cocktails for
tonight. Make sure everyone knows.

Listen up, people.

Kowalski Cocktails tonight. Gale, call
Wheeler. Let him know.

Giddy up. Kowalski Cocktails. I will see
you there.

You see that?

Team leader takes significant
information and acts on it.

I didn't realize that wasn't something
you're interested in. I didn't say that.

I'll see you at dailies, kid.

Back then, I didn't know if I had what
it took to be a team leader.

I figured I'd go to drinks that night
and put it out of my head.

But that's not what happened.

Because that night was about to become
one of the craziest 12 -hour runs in NIS

history. After that night, when Kowalski
looked out his window, he'd never see

me the same again.

You get it fixed?

What happened was you got a couple of
bad solder joints.

Discussing this evening.

See that?

I do outstanding work, but just clear as
day.

Joining us is Abe Pruitt's wife, Beth.

And also with us is legal rep for the
Pruitt family, Doug Westmont.

Thank you for having us, Jen.

The hell, you seen this?

To begin, I'd like to hear from you,
Beth.

How do you feel about your husband's
recent arrest?

That's Abe Pruitt's bigamy wife.

They got Doug Westmont as their lawyer
now.

Oh, are they the ones that helped that
guy blow up the movie dome?

Doug Westmont, he's a big deal.

Abe has been doing so many positive
things with our land.

She's an idiot. Pruitt's got a
brainwash.

NIS had nothing to connect him to the
bombing, but they just want to strut

around with a big fish on their hook.
Hey, if I'm strutting, you're going to

know I'm strutting. Hand me that wrench,
would you? Abe should be released

immediately. Released?

You're in this blood -sucking...

Bitch! Are you all right? What happened?
What's wrong?

I'm back.

Don't move.

Oh, I'm back.

Don't move. Don't move.

Hey, cake cocktail tonight. Did you guys
hear? Yeah.

Hey, when we're there, we should reenact
that scene from Cheers last night. I'll

be Norm.

I didn't see it. What?

You never in a Cheers. Did you take it?
No. Why not? I forgot. What were you

doing? Nothing. If you weren't doing
anything, why weren't you watching

Oh, Randolph. Let's go.

I need alcohol before I hear you talk
this much.

Roy, shake a leg.

One of us needs to wait for Dalton. He's
duty agent tonight. He's not here yet.

Randolph, hold on. Let me put you on
speaker.

No, don't put me on speaker.

Sorry, boss. I already did it. You want
me to take you off?

Forget it, Randolph. I just... You're
out my damn bag.

Doing what?

Picking something up off the floor.

What? No. That's like an old person
thing to happen.

Maybe you're just sore from lifting.

Tell Kowalski I ain't gonna make it
tonight.

No, uh -uh. You know how Kowalski gets
when we miss cake cocktails.

Look, I got magic hands passed down from
my Aunt Gloria.

I'll go to your house, adjust your back,
and then we can go to Daly's from

there. No, Vera, I don't like coming
over here.

She's already gone.

Damn it.

Well, that was abrupt.

You guys should go.

I'll wait for Dalton. Meet you over
there.

No, I'll stay.

I'm the alternate.

No, I got it.

Kowalski was busting my balls earlier.

If he gets in a few drinks before I see
him, maybe he'll let up.

Hey, there.

Hey, there. Can we help you?

They need to make a report.

Yeah?

What's going on? How much have you had
to drink tonight, man?

I'll get them to the drunk tank.

You guys get out of here. Love you,
kids.

Mm -hmm.

Seriously, why didn't you watch Cheers
last night? Mary Jo, you take off yet?

Gibbs, did you hear from Dalton? He's
supposed to be the duty agent tonight.

We need to call the MPs. Get this guy
transferred over to the drunk tank.

Gail, did you forget to give Dalton
Baseman his schedule again? I know we

him Baseman, but I do tend to forget his
office is down there.

You got an A .I .D. on you?

You all are doing makeup.

Daily shutdown for N .I .S. folks only.

No one impressed.

Oh, well, Gail, how's it think for J
.J.?

So I'm thinking if you're smoky, I will
seal the deal.

I got a drunk Marine here.

Captain Brian Polanco.

Yeah, Polanco.

Get over to Daly's. I got him.

I appreciate someone taking initiative
around here.

That's very nice, Gibbs. I like that
very much.

Okay.

Yeah, we'll see you here soon. Thanks.

He sprayed me. What's that?

Someone sprayed me.

Last night, I was walking out to my
place and they sprayed me. You saying

were assaulted?

Oh, damn it.

Captain, you okay?

Polanco? Gale, call 911.

What? We need an ambulance.

Hey, what's going on? I don't know. I
thought he was drunk.

Something's wrong. Gary, back, back.

Polanco, look at me.

Brian! Brian!

Hey, look at me!

Frank, Vera.

It's open.

Hey, let me in.

I said it's open.

No, no.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be on
the floor.

Okay, where's the pain?

You're out.

Here,

get on my stomach.

This is the only position I can be in.
Well, it only works if you... Come here,

come on. Don't touch me.

Mike, don't bite me on this.

Vera!

Better?

Yeah.

Huh?

How the hell did you do that?

Magic hand.

Hey, want some water? Before we go get
wasted?

Hey, what?

Randall's right.

This only happens to old people.

Next thing you know, I'm retired, eating
Hungry Man's in front of the TV all

day, just waiting to shrill up and die.

Are you kidding me?

I can't wait to get old.

Then I can finally say what's on my
mind. That I'm holding back all the

You sit there. I'll get it.

By the way, you're not geriatric until
you're active.

Hello.

Michael Frank is resident.

Vera? Is that you?

Yes, Gail. It's me. What do you need?
That guy that came in here is

now. What guy?

What's he want?

There was a guy that came in after you
guys left.

We thought he was drunk, but then he
started having a seizure.

The paramedic took one look at him and
told his partner not to come in. He said

it wasn't safe.

He told the other paramedic to wait
outside?

Paramedic for what?

Can you and Frank just come back here?

This doesn't feel right, and Gibbs is
the highest -ranking agent here, and

according to Kowalski, he has no
leadership goal.

Yeah, where are we?

Okay, stabilizing.

My two sets are coming back up.

Get some rest. I don't like it.

What's going on? How long have you all
been with him?

Why didn't you tell your partner not to
come in?

With anyone else exposed to him.

Bang, bang, bang on the door, baby.

Knock it a lot of sugar.

Bang, bang, bang on the door, baby.

I can't hear you.

Bang, bang, bang. Daily, this is Smitty.
Smitty, it's Gibbs. I need to talk to

Lala. Gibbs!

You're doing what now? Thank you. Shut
off the damn music. This is an

I need to talk to Lala.

Okay, I got you. I can't hear you.

Lala.

Lala.

Gibbs needs to talk to you. Something's
happened. And listen. Okay, so we're

going to quarantine him in the rec room.

Gail, clear the building. Make sure no
one else is here.

Hello? Gibbs?

Are you okay?

Yeah, what do you mean? What's going on?
That guy that came in, he wasn't drunk.

He has a virus.

He's contagious.

What kind of virus? What? Who's got a
virus?

That drunk guy. Wait, are they saying we
were exposed?

Lala, listen to me. It's called the
Lenka virus.

The Lenka virus?

The paramedics said that the last case
was in 1924, but then last month,

else got it. Lenka.

I read about it in the paper a couple of
weeks ago. Some woman was exposed at a

lab in Mexico.

What happened to her? They quarantined
her.

A week later, she died.

Are any of you guys showing symptoms?

Blurred speech, seizure, trouble
breathing, coughing?

No. What's he saying? You all need to
stay there.

No one can leave until we know more.

They're trying to stop it from
spreading.

We're all on lockdown until further
notice.

Are you telling me the kids run a point
on this thing and we're all queued up to

die?

I told you ten times on the radio, we
shouldn't even be here. I told you, you

can't be here. I heard what you said,
Broby.

But I ain't leaving you with this alone.

Boss.

Boss, you know I'm right.

Look, Wheeler's on his way to talk to
some top disease doctor. He said you

should meet him over at Blue Ridge
Medical Center.

Who else you got in there?

Herm, Gail, Nadia, and the paramedic.

Wheeler told us not to tell anyone
what's going on until we figure out

It makes sense. Word gets out, the
public's going to panic. We aren't even

allowed to call our families.

You didn't say you dare in there.

Let him out, bro. He's trying to get to
me.

No, he needs to stay put.

He was exposed too. We don't know if
this thing can affect animals.

Boss, go meet with the doctor.

That's what we need you to do.

Y 'all three take care of each other.

He keeps running from me. I'm trying to
keep him away from Polanco, but he

doesn't want to listen.

I think he's wanting to stay on guard
because he knows the guy's dying.

I did a second sweep of the building to
make sure no one else was here. I also

called Lala and read her Polanco service
record.

I didn't think we'd get that till
morning.

I busted some heads via phone and got a
fax over.

Okay, Gail.

Good work.

Well. Here's to our lives being in the
hands of the JV squad.

Feeling no pain when we start croaking
later tonight.

Hey, yo, JJ, speaking of the JV squad, I
hear Gale wants in your pants.

Carl, shut your mouth.

I got some food on in the kitchen.

Y 'all need to stay hydrated.

Hey, I'm just a bartender. I got nothing
to do with the N .I .F.

And Cliff Wheeler's going to tell me I
can't call my friends to get one of them

to take my cat.

Justice for Smitty. Yeah, justice for
Smitty.

Justice for me and Mr. Winston.

A lot of people I want to die with.

Okay, I wrote down everything Gail told
her.

Lala, I heard you on the phone with
Gail.

Did she say what happened with Dalton
Basement?

Basement? She didn't mention him. Did
she tell him not to show up for night

duty? I assume so. She was actually
pretty with it on the phone. My Gail.

Gail Price?

Why? You think she got this stuff, huh?
I want you to close your eyes and

imagine Gail as head secretary over
there. You tell me if you think stuff is

getting messed up.

I have similar concerns about her.

If this virus is going to take us all
out, we can't let it take the chain of

custody, too.

and Herm needs to make sure that all
evidence is logged in step.

Tell you what, let's write a list of
instructions for Gail and Herm, then we

relay it all on one phone call to keep
the line open. Great.

Frank Sinvera should have an update for
us soon.

Hey, who's that newsman over here? That
epi guy we're meeting, what's his name?

You mean epidemiologist. Her name is Dr.
Harding.

And hey, you know, thinking on the way
over here, I'm really impressed with how

Roy is handling this whole thing.

Yeah, well...

I trained him.

No, I mean it.

Like the way he was holding that door
shut on you? I haven't seen someone take

charge in a way that robust since...
Never?

Certainly not in our office.

And we can confirm that the latest case
of Lenka occurred on Cam Pendleton.

Those details are still pouring in. Hey,
none of that's confirmed. Where are you

getting that?

Are you a representative for Pendleton?

What can you tell us about the outbreak?
Hey,

get out of my face! Can you confirm that
the outbreak is contained?

Hey, hey, hey!

You are blocking the entrance to a damn
hospital. Let's go.

Use your brain.

Move. Get out of the way. I can't let
you in the building.

Thank you. Please, just stay back.

Form a line and grab a mask. We can't
help you unless you get checked in. And

ask, what the hell's going on here? They
heard about the case of Lenka on the

news. They think they have symptoms.

Are you from the government? What are
the symptoms?

I'm feeling dizzy.

But there are people coughing inside
here. Ma 'am, I'm sure that the doctors

will... See all of you as soon as they
can. They're not going to let us leave

we have it right.

My name is Elliot Thorpe. Elliot Thorpe.
I need you to get a message to my wife.

I need you to tell her that I love her.

Agent Franks? Yeah.

Dr. Harding, follow me.

You really think we can trust the stuff
you got from Gail?

I'm feeling lucky.

Let's put it up.

Victim.

Captain Brian Polanco, who sprayed with
something in his face on his way home

last night, valiantly likely ran off.
Term confirmed Polanco called in sick to

work this morning.

Paramedic Wesley thinks this spray must
have been an aerosolized version of the

virus. Hopefully.

Polanco went straight from his place to
NIS and didn't infect anyone else along

the way.

Okay, what are the victims' stats?

Polanco is single, assigned to supply
battalion, lives alone on base in the

Baxler officer quarters.

What the heck is that? He said his
parents are in Boise, right? That's

Living in Idaho.

Phone number's on the back.

Gail tried them a bunch of times.

No answer.

You infect one person on Pendleton, it's
a pretty good way to take down the

entire base.

What were you doing last night instead
of watching Cheers?

Why do you even care about that right
now? Because... I can't call Junie.

I may never be able to hold Junior
again.

And the fact that you're shutting me out
is making me question the depth of our

friendship, which is, like, super
troubling at a time like this when I

the most.

Oh, my God. You are just that nosy. I'm
sorry. I can't help it. Come on.

Let's go.

Let's nail this bastard before we die.

Captain Polanco's symptoms are in line
with the Lenka virus, but I can't make a

definitive determination that this is
Lenka without a sample.

What's the treatment for Lenka? My team
is working on some experimental avenues,

but there is no treatment as of yet,
which is troubling given that the virus

a 95 % mortality rate.

But just because someone might have been
exposed, that 95 % doesn't apply to

everyone, right?

Oh, it's highly unlikely that you were
exposed to anything other than the

cold back there in the lobby.

People hear about a case and they become
paranoid that they have symptoms. The

same thing happened in Mexico.

She ain't talking about us. We got co
-workers, Blanco, Brito.

Oh.

Yes, well, that is a horse of a
different color.

This could be an act of bioterrorism. We
need to take steps to secure the base.

Listen. Friend, we don't know much about
Lenka, but we estimate an R0 of 19 with

an incubation period of 2 to 12 hours.

That means that one person has the
potential to infect 19 others and

show up quick.

If this is the start of an outbreak,
it's going to go far beyond Pendleton.

How the hell do we spin this? How the
hell did the press get a hold of it in

first place?

Wheeler, you were given strict orders
not to let your people talk to anyone

outside. Sir, I gave my people
instructions.

I guarantee they followed the letter.

It's possible the victim pipped someone
off before he came to NIS. You need to

plug your leak, Cliff.

I don't have a leak, Connie. All right,
enough.

I got a team at NIS, a team at Daly's.

Someone here best tell me what to do to
get them home.

The first step is to confirm that this
is indeed Lenka.

I can lead a team in to extract a sample
from Polanco, but I need some time to

properly mitigate the risk.

How much time do we have?

Polanco was infected last night. He had
a clean bill of health.

Lenka would take approximately one week
from the time of infection to kill a

healthy 30 -year -old male.

Who would have access to a dang virus?

Did Polanco's parents give us anything?

Joe couldn't get a hold of them.

Polanco's the same.

His breathing is more labored.

Your dog's still out there trying to
watch over him.

I told him he's got to stay up here to
be safe.

I mean, we were all exposed anyway,
right? It doesn't really matter if we

masks or how far we stay away now.

Gibbs feels better with us up here.

Where is he?

Press was reporting what happened, so we
got to go ahead to call our families.

We're taking turns.

Oh, Mary Jo and Kowalski called.

Kowalski wants you to secure the chain
of company for all the evidence.

I did that already. What's he think?

I'm incompetent? I know. Mary Jo was
acting like I'm incompetent, too. I

on the TV.

Diane. It's on every channel. Oh, my
God.

Are you feeling sick? Diane, I'm fine.

It's going to be fine.

It's not fine.

It's not fine.

Leroy.

People are depending on me.

Everyone's depending on me.

Then they're in good hands.

I gotta go.

Love you.

What's going on, Gary?

Gary!

Stay here.

Stay. Stay, stay.

What's happening?

Cardiac arrest.

Checking for pulse.

You got one?

Oh, come on.

No, come on, come on.

Come on, Brian.

Come on, buddy.

Wake up.

You try

it, Gibbs.

You try it.

Man, you okay?

Wesley?

I can't breathe.

Oh, hell. He must have caught it.

It's okay.

Calm down.

Gibbs, don't touch him. He has the
virus.

Yes! Okay, listen.

We got news. It's not great.

But just remember, we're putting
together a team.

And we... Polanco's dead. Paramedic
Wesley's showing symptoms.

Y 'all going loony over there?

They're drunk.

JJ, Carl, and Smitty are being idiots.

That don't sound like Smitty.

They think they're gonna die, Mike.
Now's not the time to judge.

It's Gibbs.

Is anyone else showing symptoms?

Just paramedics. Listen, Dr. Harding
thought Blanco would have a week before

virus killed him. Could be this isn't
Lenka at all. Or it could be a worse

strain. Look, we're going to get
answers.

The disease doc's coming over.

Her and Tango are going to call Gibbs
and Herm, tell them how to take a

What? I thought Dr.

Harding was leading a team in to do it.
That's when we thought it was Lenka.

If it's something else, we don't know
what could be released when they cut

the lung.

Since Gibbs and Herm have already been
exposed.

But if it's that dangerous, shouldn't
someone with medical... What about the

paramedics? He ain't in no shape. He
quarantined himself in the kitchen.

Mike, Dr. Harding wants forensics to
sign off on these orders once they get

sample. Okay, listen, Lella. I want you
staying positive.

You hear me?

I mean, from what I saw from Gibbs
today.

Valid cerical horn is developing on that
one.

I mean, nothing on par with yours.

But, uh, Bill, keep me in the loop,
okay?

You got it.

Justice for Smear!

Hey,

Randy moved your board back there. He
said he couldn't concentrate with the

Three Stooges.

Wait, wait.

Oh, holy mother, that's a lot. Wait, um,
so the paramedic is too thick to take

the sample?

Give me a quarter. I need a cold cable.

I'm not using the bar phone. I need
privacy.

He's in charge over there. He's probably
freaking out. I gotta give him an

inspirational talk. Yeah, I don't have a
quarter. Listen, I finally got a hold

of Polanco's mom.

I don't have a quarter.

Polanco's mom said he had no enemies.
The only thing I got from her is that he

was taking a cooking class.

Anyone got a freaking quarter?

No!

Yeah, Gib. Gib, it's all a... I just
kicked the hell out of the cigarette

machine until the corridor came out so I
could call you.

AJ28, Dark Days, do you copy?

What? Sorry, it's the paramedics radio.
Hang on.

Okay. You got an update?

What? Uh, no. I, uh, I just... I heard
about how you got a ticket sample from

Polanco's lung.

Yeah. I was gonna give you an
inspirational speech.

But I guess that's not really my thing.

Lucky I'm not the one in charge over
there, huh?

You think I should give an inspirational
speech?

I don't know.

Probably.

Listen.

I... I

should go.

Randy's been super needy. Okay.

Oh,

no.

No. What?

Hell no. Come on, what happened? He
didn't catch the virus. He ate the dang

onion. What's going on? We heard
yelling. Go get me some hydrogen

What? Now. We need Gary to drink it to
make him throw up. And Wesley's kid is

my desk. Go. Come on. Hurry up. What are
you doing with a crate of onions in

here? Evidence. Some dude was using them
to smuggle coke. But he ate cocaine,

too. No. Dude, we took the drugs out.

Iron and onion is poisonous to dogs.

Yeah, and they're going to kill him if
we can't get him to puke them out.

Where's the hydrogen peroxide? There
wasn't any in Wesley's kid. Check the

aid kit.

Kitchen under the sink.

Bathrooms. Mary Jo's desk. Go.

You're okay, bud. You're gonna be okay.
There was nothing at MJ's desk. This was

in the kitchen, but there's no label on
it.

Hey! Come on!

You guys okay?

Yes!

Sorry about this, buddy.

Come on, open up.

Oh, I'm sorry, Pat.

Never knew it could come out of both
ends with that kind of velocity.

My dog ate four onions once when I was a
kid. So you knew what to do?

You're a hero, man.

You saved his life.

I'll check on Wesley.

Then I'll give an inspirational speech.

Then you and me will get that long
sample.

Is that for Carl or JJ?

Carl. No, no.

Carl's like a dog. He can't do onions.

I'm telling you, if folks aren't fed
right, things go wrong.

I can guarantee Gail's not keeping them
fed and hydrated over there.

Mary Jo, we did what we could, and we
raised them right.

Now all we can do is hope they fly.

Nadia, pass around some granola bars,
please.

Folks aren't fed right, things go wrong.

Wesley's still in the kitchen.

He doesn't look good.

So you ready to get the sample then?

You got everything we need in here?

TBRN is two minutes out. I'll have them
wait outside the main doors for the

sample. Hand off Nadia. We'll give them
the quickest route to forensics.

Look.

I know we're all wishing we were
someplace else.

But we're not.

We're here.

And we're all we got.

Whatever it takes to get this sample,
whatever it tells us, whatever happens

the end, we're going to know we did
everything we could for each other.

That means something.

Let's light it up, Bob.

Gail.

Hold our calls.

Damn it. What the hell is that? What do
you want me to do? You want me to stop?

Pop something in there and we'll get
sprayed with poison, dude. We don't feel

right about this. If you made the
incision in the fourth intercostal

don't know what that means.

Okay, take a breath.

It's a space between the fourth and
fifth ribs.

We're confident you have that part
right.

Are you pulling open enough muscle
tissue to see the outside of the lung?

I don't know, lady. All I see is bloody
lasagna.

Gibbs, listen to me. Once you cut into
the lung, we need you to be quick.

We don't want you overexposed to
whatever gases are expelled.

Get the sample and get out of there.
Doc, I don't know what the hell I'm

at here. We've got to breathe.

Hey,

Herm. What?

Do you remember when I took you out on
the Harley last week and there was this

guy on a Yamaha in front of us at the
light?

And you were like, whoa, that guy should
be wearing a helmet.

And I said he should at least be wearing
a hat because his head was all sweaty

and he was bald and he was getting
sunburned. Uh, yeah?

The lungs look just like that guy's bald
head.

Same shade of pink and shiny and smooth.

And unattractive.

Okay, I think I see it.

It's that.

That thing?

Yeah, it looks like a white dude with
some burnt head down.

Hold your breath. I'm going on three.

One. Please do not squirt poison in my
face. Two.

Please don't let us die. Please don't
let us die. Please don't let us die.

Three.

Well, props to Gibbs and Herm.

Did a masterful job with this
extraction.

Okay.

Sample's officially secured.

Can we take these things off now?

The sample was exposed to the air
earlier when we put it in the Alisa.

decontaminate after we get the results.

Can we take the suits off or not,
Woodrow?

No!

How much longer does this thing take to
cook? We've been waiting forever.

Is the suit hurting your back?

Vera called ahead and told us to be
sensitive to your aging body.

I'm sorry. I gotta say, you know, what
is with all the self -absorption

happening here, Michael? You know, we
all know you're getting older.

Okay, we can see your hairline. There
are people dying over here, pal.

You're the ones who brought this up.

Who?

No. No, Phil, let me.

I did all the legwork.

Okay, no. Okay, we talked about this. I
get first dibs on all high -level test

results.

Wow. Don't expect me to share my corn
nuts with you later. This is not a

Sample is negative for Lenka.

So they say it got nothing to do with
what happened in Mexico.

Could be a match to one of these other
standard curves.

I got it.

This is it.

The sample tested positive for one of
the world's most lethal substances.

Botulism toxin.

Damn. A crazy fact.

Some nut shows started injecting small
amounts of this stuff into their face to

stop wrinkles.

Oh, Frank, maybe that can make you feel
better.

He's kidding, okay? There is no way that
injecting this deadly toxin into your

face is going to catch on with the
method.

Who's got access to this?

Chemical labs, cosmetic companies.

Not so easy to aerosolize. No kidding.

Whoever did this had to have intimate
knowledge of the toxin. And if they have

the capability to make more, this could
definitely start a humongous

bioterrorism attack.

Oh, yeah.

This could take down everyone.

One bit of good news, though.

Guys, we're okay.

It's not contagious.

What? It's not Leica. It's something
else. What is it? Something that freezes

wrinkles. The lockdown is lifted. Call
Daly's. Let them know.

Wesley!

It's not Leica!

Wesley!

Wesley?

Wesley! Did you hear me? The test came
back. It's not contagious.

I guess it's wrong. I can't breathe.

You couldn't have caught anything from
Polanco. It must be something else.

I'm calling someone to come check you
out.

It's going to spread. You can't lift the
lock down.

We're already doing it.

We have to stay in here. It's going to
spread.

We're all going to die.

We're all going to die.

Gibbs?

Where are you, Gibbs?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Are you?

I mean, Moses.

Good to be back.

Hey, do y 'all call your families? Junie
was so frickin' relieved.

Herm, can you let Grandma know we're
good? Heck yeah, dude. Call Diane?

Yeah. Awesome.

Everybody, get in here.

Let's go. We gotta keep moving. Whoever
infected Polanco could be planning

another attack.

What do we have?

Oh, damn it. We moved the board
upstairs.

Oh, did you need your board gifts?

Here you go.

Dang, Gail. And they look hydrated, too.
Mary Jo!

Thank you so much.

Is that the paramedic? Yeah.

Where is he?

He's in holding. The medic said that the
symptoms are all in his head. No way.

Yeah, a guy spent all his free time
talking on his radio with a group called

Dark Days.

They're a bunch of conspiracy theorist
guys.

We heard some of them on the radio when
we were taking the lung sample.

Y 'all should have seen us pull that
off, by the way. The group's been going

nuts with theories since the whole Lanka
thing in Mexico. Their specialty is

stuff that can kill you.

Wesley overrode an ambulance that was
closer to us when he heard what

symptoms were.

So, he thought it could be Lanka, and he
wanted to...

report to this conspiracy group? He was
leaked to the press.

Yo, I have never been so happy to see
you jokers. Come on, let's go. It's a

group hug. Come on, group hug. All
right, let's go. We got to get moving.

Frank's headed back to the hospital to
see if Dr. Harding can find out how

someone can get access to botulism
toxin.

What else?

Roy, you got something or are you having
another one of your woodworking

fantasies?

We got a line to a whole group of people
that sit around and obsess over stuff

that can kill you.

Oh yeah, I know about botulism. That
stuff will kill you so fast. But it can

also get rid of wrinkles, so you
freaking Swiss army neck of toxins, you

Have you looked into places that work
with it?

You bet your ass I have. Let me get my
notebook.

Is there anywhere else beside a
university you can think of?

to know about the botulism toxin.

Try other channels.

Hello, anyone out there on dark days?

Gail, run down these names of the folks
that had lab access at that cosmetics

company. Mary Granger, Elliot Thorpe,
Christopher Crawford. Wait, wait, wait.

Elliot Thorpe?

Vera, you got something?

Elliot Thorpe.

Yes. He was at the hospital.

He was afraid he was going to die at
Lenka. He kept asking me and Frank to

his wife that he loved her.

If he's the one that sprayed Polanco, it
would make sense. He thought he might

have breathed it in, infected himself.

Randy, call the hospital.

I anticipated your request. I'm on with
them already.

I'll get word to Frank. He's at the
hospital talking to Dr. Harding.

I got confirmation.

Elliot Thorpe was seen by a doctor. He
was released a few minutes ago.

Let's go.

Yes, I need to speak to NIS agent
Michael Frank. It's urgent.

Elliot Thorpe!

Stop it, I ask!

Stop! I can't!

Elliot Thorpe!

Mr.

Thorpe, ain't no use in running from a
man with boots and a badge.

Dr. Harding said everyone that came to
the ER with symptoms is cleared.

It was all mass paranoia. Still,
shower's going to feel good today.

I'm going to take two.

Thank you. All right.

Glad y 'all are here.

Thorpe is in Holden. Got a full
confession on the ride back. So that,

Dukes of Hazzard takedown and my great
one -liner about the boots and the

safe to say, old Mikey is still got it.

Yeah? Did you happen to get a wife from
Thorpe? Yeah, his wife met Polanco at a

cooking class. Started banging him.

Jealous husband kills wife lover.

After all that, I thought it'd be more
original.

Morning, people.

FYI, you called cocktails for tonight?

You all didn't get enough last night?
Carl's on duty, so he's out. What's with

all the towels?

Is that the same suit you were wearing
yesterday?

Yeah, I was on night duty. Easiest shift
ever. I spent all night down in my

office. Not one call came in.

Oh, my God, I know we call him Dalton
Basement, and I did clear the building,

but I do tend to forget his office is
down here.

Wait, so you didn't have the calls
forwarded to my line?

Well, yeah.

It was a good run while I lasted.

Did something happen last night? What
did I miss?

Hey, Lala.

Do you mind, um, telling Kowalski I'm
going to be late tonight?

Why? Where are you going? I have a
thing. What thing? Smell them. You're

late to cake cocktails.

Well played, Bernard.

Okay, you tell me yours first.

Why do you miss Cheers?

I've been hanging out with this guy.

I don't know.

I really like him.

Oh, crap.

Does his name rhyme with me, Roy Bibbs?

Lala, he is married.

No!

No.

No.

His name is Johnny.

That's great.

Manly name. Why is it a big secret?

Come on.

Your turn.

Fill it.

Why are you going to be late, Bernard?

And then he tells me he's taking a stand
-up comedy class.

That's the secret.

I can't think of anything that makes me
happier than the idea of Randy on stage

telling jokes.

That's how I'm Johnny now, huh?

What are you going to tell Flaco my name
is?

I don't talk to Flaco about important
stuff.

Kowalski was right about what he saw out
his evidence room window.

The office was a living, breathing
thing.

It was a family.

Gibbs, how you doing?

Upgrade from last night, huh?

Lala!

It is after last night you got your eyes
set on team leaders someday.

Hey,

you make a damn good one.

Leroy Gibbs and Michael Frank, please
report to the stage for a group hug.

That crazy night in lockdown, it changed
me.

From that night on, I knew I had what it
took.

I didn't know how or when I would get
there.

But I knew that someday I would lead the
charge.

I'd have my own team, and they would
call me boss.

And I would see them just like this.

Just like a family.

A family that I would protect.

No matter what.
