[UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[PEOPLE WHOOPING AND CHATTERING]

Do I know you from somewhere? I'm Marcel.

I seriously doubt it.

Okay. No name. Got it.

You look like you could use a frosty beverage.

It's a Citywide Special.

It's a magical blend of bottom-shelf bourbon and PBR.

- It doesn't get better than this. - My boyfriend's on his way.

Your boyfriend?

All right, well, until he gets here, how about we cool off?

What do you say?

There we go.

So your boyfriend, is this, uh, a serious thing?

Well, who is this guy?

Tell me about him.

You all right?

Here, let me get that for you.

Stop it. Get away from me.

Hey, where are you going? Sit down.

Excuse me.

- Come on. PETER: Oh, hey, hey. Are you okay?

MARCEL: What's the matter?

Dani.

Dani!

[PANTING]

Dani.

[TIRES SCREECH]

No!

MAN: 9th and Fulton. You-- You gotta get here quick.

I'd-- I didn't see her.

- She's-- She was standing in the street. - I got you. I got you, okay?

No, stay with me. Stay with me, Dani. Stay.

Somebody help me, please!

Stay with me. Dani.

Stay with--

- No, no. WOMAN: Get inside.

Dani. No. No.

Come back to me, Dani. One...

Come back to me, Dani. Where's an ambulance?

Please, somebody help me!

[SIREN WAILING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

What do you think happened?

MEGAN: Slight jaundice.

Peter could be right. If Dani had a seizure, she might have been drugged.

I assigned Ethan for now.

Are you okay to do this?

Is anyone?

I told Peter to take as much time off as he needs, but...

MEGAN: Didn't he come in to work today? - Oh, yeah, 6 a.m. sharp.

Bar receipts and video surveillance in hand.

- Good. - Megan, he's in shock.

Not even shock. He's in full-blown denial.

He's angry. Wouldn't you be?

If it helps us solve this case any sooner, I'm all for it.

Peter showed us the surveillance tapes. Some creep spiked her drink.

Bud's trying to track down his ID now. He just needs cause of death.

Wait, it wasn't the SUV?

This rash didn't come from getting hit.

Whatever that creep gave her was attacking before she was hit.

This isn't your garden-variety date rape drug.

This is a hell of a lot more powerful.

Marcel Trevino.

That's an old trick you played.

Palm goes over the shot, shot goes into the beer.

You never took a sip.

That little move is gonna put you in prison for the rest of your life.

- What went in the drink? - Beer and bourbon.

- What did you say to her? - I said that, uh, she looked familiar.

Yet somehow that didn't work.

And roofies mean never having to say you're sorry.

[CLEARS THROAT]

What did you use? PCP?

See, you chose the wrong gal, Marcel. She was a friend of ours.

Worked at the medical examiner's office. So whatever you put in her body,

- I guarantee you they will find it. - She was a hot girl at the club.

- Peter. - You son of a bitch.

[GRUNTING]

What did you give her? What did you use? Tell me.

- Please, I didn't do anything PETER: Tell me.

[GROANING]

No, no, don't touch him! Don't touch him! Call an ambulance!

It's the same thing that happened to Dani before she was hit.

So our only witness at the bar is now comatose.

- Our witness? You mean our suspect. - I mean, we don't know what he is.

His symptoms were identical. He probably got a taste of his own poison.

MEGAN: Pulmonary edema,

tonic-clonic seizure activity.

These are not the symptoms of a date rape drug.

- Was he perspiring in interrogation? - They all do.

Peter, sorry to have to ask this,

do you think Dani might have been involved with this guy?

She might have got it from him.

I don't know. I hope not.

So you think he spiked a fever?

That's a theory. What if it's not a poison, but an infection?

There'd be a lot more sick people.

WOMAN: Seizing en route.

She's massively hypertensive.

DOCTOR: Crit's 18. Platelets down to 20K.

I need six units emergency release O neg, stat.

- How are the others? - Two new fevers, one critical.

Oh, my God, they've all got symptoms. This wasn't a poisoning.

DOCTOR: We're losing her. - We better get the morgue ready.

I think we've had an outbreak.

Cameron Reilly, 28.

Triathlete.

- It's gonna be okay. - No, it's not.

None of these people were at the club.

Ethan.

ETHAN: Cameron left work two days ago with a headache.

Her heart stopped at Mercy three hours ago.

Alberto Reina, 36. Dock worker.

Complained of acute fever 18 hours ago. Found at home.

Amy Thompson, 19.

Sophomore at La Salle.

Had difficulty breathing last night.

Died en route to the ER.

Dani Alvarez, 27.

Bloody cough and seizure.

Multiple abrasions and fractures due to vehicle impact, all nonfatal.

Died 12 hours ago.

Cause still unknown.

Someone say something.

We will all miss Dani.

The best way that we can honor her and all of these people

is to do our jobs and find cause of death.

We need to figure out where all of our victims have been,

when they first started showing symptoms, and most of all, who got sick first.

- Patient zero. - Hey, wait.

What if the real source is a monkey loose from a lab

or an undiscovered weapons stash or radioactive rain?

- Anything could be-- - Ethan, calm down.

Actually, he has a point.

That is not what I need to hear right now.

We have no idea what is causing this,

how it's transmitted, or where it comes from.

What we do know is our victims.

Every one of these people is unique and their last hours are critical.

CHARLIE: Couple of air locks. One here, one here.

I want a BSL-3 cabinet set up right there,

and a new autoclave. Swap this table out.

Hey, hey, hey. Nobody's swapping out anything without my approval.

Curtis. I'm Dr. Kate Murphy.

Introductions. Sorry. Rude.

Very rude. Dr. Charlie Stafford, Centers for Disease Control.

I'm Dr. Megan Hunt.

Yes, you are. Brain surgeon. Nice.

Oh, sorry, I haven't had a chance to Google you yet.

Good things come to those who wait.

Thank you for your hard work. We've set up decontamination outside,

and soon as you're checked out, you can go on home.

You're safe. We got this.

- You're kicking us out? - This is icky stuff.

- You don't want any part of this. - I'm a pathologist.

I am not going anywhere.

And CDC does not have anyjurisdiction here

without a direct invitation from Public Health.

And a letter of formal request.

From Dr. Kate Murphy.

Of course you did.

MAN 1 [OVER PA]: Step forward, please

Hold out your hand.

Everybody wears their ID tag at all times.

MAN 2: I still need a wristband. MAN 3 [OVER RADIO]: Send him in.

MAN 4: Keep it moving, people.

WOMAN 1: They said you had to wear your tag.

MAN 4: One blanket and one gown.

WOMAN 2: All right, folks, come on. WOMAN 3: Form a line over here.

WOMAN 4: Come this way with me.

MAN 5: And people, level six control points.

MAN 6: Changing rooms are this way. MAN 5: Nobody goes in without a badge.

MAN 7: Room is ready to go.

WOMAN 5: Hands over your head. Move along.

MAN 8: Drop the bag in the receptacle.

Keep it moving. Hands over your head.

Keep moving, peoPle-

WOMAN 6: Now, I need to know--

WOMAN 7: Have you had any headaches?

Nausea?

Are you experiencing any dry mouth?

How about dizziness?

WOMAN 8 [OVER RADIO]: Can you advise me if the...?

MAN 9: All right this time?

MAN 10: We'll get you through this as soon as we can. Please keep moving.

MAN 11: Set him up.

MAN 12: Take one and head upstairs.

Step LIP-

WOMAN: Four of them ready to process.

MAN: All right, will do.

Oh. Funny meeting you here.

They decontaminated half the station after Trevino left. Us included.

Remind me to never investigate a plague again.

MEGAN: We're fine. You can let us out now.

Hello! We need to get back to work.

Just let them do their jobs.

Their jobs?

Outbreaks are the CDC's domain and I am not opposed to their expertise.

I really don't know why you are.

She said it, sweetheart, not me.

No fever, blood count's normal.

You're free to go home.

Just monitor your temperatures.

I think I'll miss you most of all.

You're making a big mistake. You need our help.

Did you clear variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob in '96?

Eliminate dracunculiasis in all of Uganda?

- No, that was me. - You're working on people, not variants.

And your fancy words don't impress me.

I've performed brain surgeries you couldn't spell.

Goodie for you. I put my life on the line to save people.

Then you should take advantage of what's standing right in front of you.

Q I(aY

You first.

What do you got?

[PHONE RINGS]

WOMAN [ON VOICEMAIL]: Hello. No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message.

[/OICEMAIL BEEPS]

Mrs. Alvarez, this is Peter Dunlop. Um, something has happened to Dani

and I need you to call me as soon as you get this.

ETHAN: Hey. - What's up?

I just wanted to say, uh, that if there's anything I can do that--

You know, Dani meant a lot to--

I got it. Thanks.

Right.

Welcome to Biosafety Level 4.

Dr. Stafford has been expecting you and requested I help you with your suit.

No, I've been dressing myself for quite some time. Thank you.

MEGAN: Love what you've done with the place.

I see that you're assuming the worst.

Anthrax, tularemia.

Well, it sure ain't the sniffles.

Body count is 26 already.

Oh, my God. It doubled overnight?

Trying to keep this on the down low, but the news is gonna get out.

You reset the timeline. You just threw out all our work.

We reorganize by symptom class.

Sometimes, it's better not to assume.

You assume that we stink at our jobs.

My team has been together for over a decade.

Our error rate is the lowest in the western hemisphere.

- Nothing personal. - That's exactly what's wrong with you.

Nothing is personal. It's all error rates and body counts.

Who's trying to save the city here, huh?

MEGAN: Then let me show you mistakes you've already made.

Cameron Reilly, a triathlete, resting heart rate of 50.

Her heart failure did not happen just overnight.

John Kim. His gumline suggests that he lied about smoking.

And that brings us to Dani Alvarez.

She probably looked like a drug addict to you because of tattoos and jaundice.

Now you're making assumptions about me.

The point is, she's clean. No more than a couple of drinks a week.

- How do you know that? - Because she told me.

She worked here. She was one of us.

Well, then this is never gonna work. You are way too emotionally involved.

Which is all the more reason why my team should be here.

This, I know.

When someone you care about is on your slab, it's a lot harder to focus.

Right now, that's all we can do.

And it's because we care.

Point taken.

Bring them in.

- What's with the tape? - What, not enough?

- Boy, what's wrong with you? - John Kim had no connection

- to any other victim. - So it's indiscriminate.

But get this, he had neutrophilic leukocyiosis with a left shift.

CURTIS: And it gets worse.

- He's got purpura on the abdomen. - Sepsis.

- We gotta get ahead of this. CHARLIE: Whatever it is,

John Kim here has got it in spades.

This could be our patient zero.

MORRIS [OVER PA]: Stafford, Hunt.

- Tell me you found the connection. - Not the kind you're looking for.

YouTube flagged this and forwarded it to us confidentially.

My fellow human beings,

there are over 7 billion people on the planet, and it's getting worse.

The simple truth is, there are just too many of you.

And now a whole lot of you are going to die.

We have become a disease,

and the only cure for overpopulation is to depopulate.

So congrats, Philadelphia.

You are the first to be sacrificed to a new world order,

an order as nature intended it.

And for this,

you have only yourselves to thank.

This isn't just an epidemic.

It's an act of terrorism.

He could be a nationalist, or a cultist, or some local nut job.

Well, if we take his speech at face value, he's an ecoterrorist.

Doesn't look like smallpox, too quick to be fungal.

We've already got the lCUs covered with Cipro.

If it's bacterial, that will work.

- Otherwise, we keep our options open - Just let us do our job.

We have had 33 victims in 36 hours.

The most important question is, how are they getting infected?

That is the third most important question. The most important question is,

who in hell or heaven put you in charge of this?

Then the second question must be, who are you?

Brendan Johnson, FBI Special Agent in Charge.

- What are we telling the public? - That's tricky.

We don't wanna panic the public--

How about telling them the truth?

- Why is she still talking? Anyone? - Dr. Hunt works for me at the MEO.

- I don't give a crap who's who. - We are working on cause of death.

- We're here for update. - You don't get an update.

We get an update.

[so:ol=I=s]

All right. We got victims all over the place.

We got a, uh, bus driver here,

a lawyer there, this pretty young thing here.

- She was more than that. - Yeah, I know.

- She's got a mommy and a daddy, I get it. - Okay, go to hell.

- What's his problem? - That was his girlfriend.

Not that you give a crap who's who.

Alberto's headache started on Friday.

No fever, no cough.

He didn't say anything else was wrong.

At noon, he went into Center City for our niece's quinceafiera.

PAULA: Amy wrote about everything she did.

A lot more than we knew about.

GEORGE: What do we do for our other kids?

Is this contagious?

JULIE: You think my dad's death was random?

Because I've got these friends in Korea,

and they're saying there's a video out there.

Like, a terrorist?

Your friends must be mistaken.

A criminal video like that would have been confiscated immediately.

Will you explain to him how the Internet works?

That video went viral.

No one can contain it.

[Slel-ls]

MARCEL: What do you want with me?

Everywhere you've been and everyone you've been in contact with

for the last seven days.

I'm a car salesman from Upper Darby.

Two priors for possession.

Two-eighths of weed doesn't exactly make me Osama bin Laden.

If I'm your best lead, you're a disgrace to the force.

Look around you. People are dying and you were one of the first ones to get sick.

Now, where have you been?

- It doesn't matter. - Yeah, it does.

Well, I'm not talking. So, what are you gonna do about it?

Could you put him in isolation?

What? What the hell are you doing?

What do you think? I'm putting you in solitary.

Oh, well, that's fine. I could use a little privacy.

Fine. Then you'll get none.

I will be there every minute.

And from the look of you, it's not gonna be that long.

Now, you will talk to me, or I promise you, I will be the last face you ever see.

I work at, uh, 35 Penn Station.

Tuesday, uh, I had work all day, then I had lunch

- at Judy's Kitchen, I remember. - WSCE has received word

that the cityv/ide outbreak that has so far claimed 36 lives

and infected over 70 people, might be an act of terrorism.

- Sources say-- - Well, the cat's out of the bag.

Who didn't see that coming?

This damn suit is gonna drive me crazy.

I'm telling you, Ethan,

all this protection is gonna end up costing more lives than it save.

Heh. Speak for yourself.

I, for one, am grateful that we're not taking unnecessary--

[TAPE RIPS]

Oh, my God.

Did you hear that? Did it rip?

Ethan.

You're okay.

If my lab goes all to hell, it's because of your duct-taped ass.

[PA BEEPS]

More info on Dani.

I figured out where she was on Wednesday and Thursday.

A matinee with a friend and then kickboxing class at night.

ETHAN: Oh, well, that's good. So all we have to do

is figure out where she was Sunday, Monday and Tuesday all day.

I'm doing my best here, Ethan, okay?

Look, we think Dani got infected early, so we need to know where she's been.

- She took the week off. - Well, did you try calling her family?

Her mom must be out of town, okay?

I have another number, but, uh, there was no answer

- and I don't know whose it is. - Well, there's gotta be something more.

Yeah, well, if there is, she certainly didn't share it with me.

[PHONE CLATTERS]

Curtis.

Curtis!

JOHNSON: Tell me something good.

MEGAN: You are looking at Neisseria meningitidis.

Rare strain.

- We have positive ID. Fits the symptoms. - That's good.

In one patient. We found the organism in one patient only.

- We need to confirm with other cases. - Negative. How does it spread?

- Bacteria's aerosolized. - Oh, God, it's airborne.

I'll start spreading the news, you start treating the bug.

- You are telling the public what? - Our best theory.

Your best theory is a lie.

KATE: It's not a lie.

Listen, we got a positive ID and Johnson has to tell the public something.

MEGAN: We just ignored 99 percent of our victims.

- He should lead with that. - What would you tell them?

The truth. We don't know anything yet.

Oh, yeah, wanna tell the public that? Bring running shoes.

You want me to give the speech? Kate, come on, this is fifth grade science.

If your hypothesis is unproven, you don't announce a conclusion.

You don't have science, Megan. This is all speculation.

You are about to go wide

with information that is incredibly narrow and fragile.

You're talking about speculation?

- You're pushing me. - You need to be pushed.

[GASPS THEN GRUNTS]

I'm done here. Prep Brad Wilson.

Here's the script confirming meningitis

and prophylactic steps to prevent infection.

"Symptoms include pustules, catastrophic heart failure

and bleeding eyes"? This will scare the hell out of people.

- Who the hell wrote this? - I did.

Science is scary when you understand it.

I'll take a pass. Soften it.

Listen, we need a, uh, human angle.

What about, uh, Peter Dunlop? His girlfriend was an early victim, right?

He's here, isn't he? He's perfect.

- Get him on camera. - Not a chance.

He's helping my team solve a citywide contagion right now.

- What's Ahab's mood? - Oh, sunshine and puppies.

Excuse me, uh, we have a lead.

BAKER: A local guy. MORRIS: Even has a website

recommending disease as a cure for overpopulation.

- We can have him within the hour. - Great.

- Bring him in. - Uh, we're gonna need backup.

- Get them whatever they need. - Follow me.

We have some encouraging news.

We've confirmed meningitis.

Preventative measures are currently being put in place

[THERMOMETER BEEPS]

At public offices and schools throughout the city.

The strain of this bacteria is virulent in nature

- and we must take extreme caution. - I don't get it. You have never shied away.

This is the biggest show and you're deferring to this idiot.

Megan, I know you think this is in your wheelhouse. It's not.

- We don't even know what we have. - It is not airborne

and it's not meningitis and--

Why is Peter's picture up there?

JOHNSON: Peter Dunlop, investigator for the MEO, lost his girlfriend, Dani AIvarez--

That ass. We haven't even notified her mother yet.

Our hearts go out to him, and the entire Alvarez family,

and everyone impacted in this city.

May God bless us all.

He is lying to everyone and you are allowing it.

People do not need to be coddled.

They can handle the truth if you inspire them.

And you do that.

He is doing his job, I am doing my job, what are you doing exactly?

[so:ol=I=s]

BOY: There's too many people in the world,

but they're never gonna learn.

I hope they all die too.

COP 1: Get down! Get down! Get down!

- What the hell! COP 2: Hands behind your back, now!

Terry McLeary, you're under arrest for suspicion of domestic terrorism

- and homicide. COP 3: Transport.

MEGAN: The loops go over your ears, like--

That's it. Good.

The FBI guy on TV said that everything was fine.

It will be, sweetheart. Uh, Grandma's gonna come pick you up

and she won't know how to load your insulin pump.

- So will you show her? LACEY: Yes.

When are you gonna be home?

What about cartridges? Do you have enough?

I have enough stuff in my backpack to last me a week.

How long is this gonna be?

Okay, well, then, just wear the gloves and the mask

and stay inside with Grandma, and everything will be okay.

Mom, you're freaking me out. Did the guy on TV lie?

Lacey, I need you to put your phone away, please

MEGAN: Lace?

I love you, baby.

Mom, you say "I love you" like you're never gonna see me again.

- Lacey. LACEY: I'm talking to my mom.

She's a medical examiner.

TEACHER: Check each other's masks. GIRL: Any way we could come sooner?

BOY: Can I go home? TEACHER: You can't go home yet.

- We have to stay inside, okay? MAN: Dr. Hunt.

TEACHER: That's where your parents-- - Lace, I gotta go. I'm sorry.

Mom, wait.

[Slel-ls]

Look, I would never hurt anyone.

Really? Well, uh, I'm confused then,

because your website here, you talk about, uh,

forced castration, murder.

Yeah. Oh, here's one that seems relevant. Disease.

Would I be upset if this helped turn attention to a global crisis? No.

Overpopulation is gonna be our downfall.

Is that why you've been spreading meningitis?

What are you talking about? I haven't been doing anything

and it's not meningitis. If it were airborne, we'd all be dead.

Some pretty smart people think it is meningitis.

- Well, I can't account for their stupidity. - Then what the hell is it?

Do I look like a doctor? I'm sorry. Dude, I'm in high school.

Well, you're a little more educated than that, dude.

AP courses, three summers interning at medical school.

Sol like science.

Okay. Then help me solve a problem.

We found 40 cases of cerebral edema,

but only one case with an inflamed lining of the brain.

One? Heh, heh.

Okay. I'm gonna speak slowly, so you can understand.

Meningitis is an inflamed lining of the brain.

And you only found one.

How do you explain meningitis with that?

MEGAN: Hm.

I guess you can't.

TERRY: Yeah, you can't. No one can.

Seriously, how does it feel to get schooled by a teenager?

I don't know. Ask him.

- Hey. That supposed to prove something? - Yeah. You can't even fool a 17-year-old.

So why don't you give up this meningitis nonsense?

Unless you wanna be the idiot that everybody blames

for lying to the public.

Twenty-four gram stains for meningitis. All negative.

What, do you have a death wish?

MEGAN: It's not airborne.

We don't need these space suits.

The odds of me contracting whatever this is

from this delightful conversation are zero.

You don't know that. We need a bigger sample size.

So you're saying that more people need to die in order for us to figure out

- why more people are dying. - Statistics don't lie.

They are not statistics.

They are people.

Dani Alvarez, our earliest case, pulmonary edema.

John Kim, your only positive, massive sepsis.

Those are two entirely different causes of death.

Megan, we've already identified a disease that accounts for all the symptoms.

Maybe. Emphysema could explain difficulty breathing.

- So what? - What is more likely?

A long-term smoker having emphysema,

or 24 victims having a basic bacteria that we can't find?

If you're right, then we're talking about an exotic virus.

Lassa or Dengue.

Both of which are much more dangerous.

But not airborne.

[MEGAN slel-ls]

That's better.

Which means we are left

with only one major mode of transmission.

Blood. And as long as you don't come in contact with it, you're fine.

CHARLIE: We're up to 50 dead.

It's gonna be thousands if we don't get ahead of this thing.

This disease is all over the map.

There's only a few infections that can spread that quickly.

Well, I'm gonna put every febrile inpatient in this city on antibiotics.

Against what?

Can we please get Peter's picture off the damn television?

No, we cannot. It's news.

No, it's not. It's personal.

People wanna know we're suffering just like they are.

- You're exploiting Peter's pain. - I'm securing the public trust.

Heh. I kind of thought we'd do that with timely, honest information.

Oh, really? Well, then, why is it that Peter Dunlop,

who had intimate relations with one of the first victims,

is the last guy to give me any useful information?

It's not that easy. Patient histories aren't always transparent.

Or maybe I'm not the only idiot lying.

I saw on the news that you were Dani Alvarez's boyfriend,

so I came here to see what happened to her.

How did you know her?

My parents are gone.

I live in a foster home, and Dani was like a sister.

Did you spend much time together?

Couple times a month, maybe.

- And what did you do together? - Mostly just hung out

and listened to music on vinyl.

Oh.

Let me guess. She said it was more authentic.

- Yeah. - Yeah, I don't get it either.

She took me to my first ballet.

Got me interested in dance.

You were supposed to meet her this past Monday, right?

She said she had something, but we talked on the phone.

And what did you talk about?

I was having boy issues, but she straightened me out.

I'm really gonna miss her.

[JACKIE CRYING]

MORRIS: Jeannie, for once in our relationship,

this cannot be an argument.

I need you to get your keys, get in the car, and drive to your sister's in Scranton.

No, I-- I had been through decontamination.

I am fine. Now, just go.

MAN: Yeah, he just walked in. Let me get back to you.

- I love you too. MAN: All right.

--Sacrificed to a new world--

Sixty new cases today, and you're watching a video

of the one place we know the terrorist isn't?

Yeah, because it's the one place we know he was.

Here.

Tell me what you hear.

TERRORIST [OVER HEADPHONES]: There are over 7 billion people--

- A crackpot telling me we're gonna die. BAKER: No, listen again.

In the background, what do you hear?

TERRORIST [ON COMPUTER]: The simple truth is

there are just too many of you.

Come on, you hear any church bells? Trains? Cars?

The FBI criminalists have been all over this tape.

Yeah, but they don't know Philly like we do. That's a quiet area.

From the looks of that building, there's no one taking care of it.

So it's an abandoned building in North Philly.

But 40 percent of the buildings over there are shuttered up.

I'm gonna strangle you.

Look at the red tag on the sidewall. Looks like graffiti, right?

[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

You see this? That's a red star seven.

The B-seven gang runs drugs in a very tight four-block radius in North Philly.

We could canvass that easy.

But we were wrong once before

and Captain Fantastic is never gonna listen to us.

Bud, I know you're worried. I'm worried too.

But if we do our jobs, we could save the world.

That was good.

Let's grab our capes.

MORRIS: Bodies.

JOHNSON: Are you all right, detective?

BAKER: Track marks.

And there are syringes all over the place.

MORRIS: Hey, Sam, look at this.

It's the same tag as on the video.

BAKER: Now we know where the terrorist made the tape.

We also know how he's spreading it to the public.

- Get this analyzed as soon as possible. - On it.

Don't think he's running around stabbing people, do you?

Fits.

All these new victims have needle sticks.

- No, they don't. Three of them do. - Maybe you missed the other ones.

Oh, really, because so far I haven't missed anything.

You also haven't given us anything.

Megan, our terrorist has bloodshot eyes. It's weird.

Well, maybe he's tired from the long coach flight from Syria.

Or maybe Peter sees something that your team missed.

I've sent all our data to Atlanta.

I can have a CDC Special Pathogens team

- on a plane in ten minutes. - Good. Do it. I'm sick of her crap.

Hello, I am right here.

And if you take us off this case you are so screwed.

Dr. Hunt, your passion's admirable, but you work on dead bodies.

You can make a mistake and nothing happens.

When the CDC is wrong, people die.

Why are you quick to ignore what's right in front of you? He has bloodshot eyes.

That doesn't give us our killer.

You interested in mode of transmission? He's not tired, okay? He's sick.

- Bloodshot eyes doesn't give us mode-- - It's not the bloodshot eyes.

It's what they obscure.

The sclera are jaundiced.

Liver failure?

The jaundice is advanced. He's been sick for over a week.

He sure as hell isn't sticking people with needles to infect them.

MEGAN: Agent Johnson, Dr. Stafford,

it turns out you're both looking for the exact same thing.

Our terrorist is patient zero. He infected himself first.

And then he turned himself into a suicide bomber.

Anyone who comes into contact with him is going to die.

Transmission is caused by direct contact with blood and secretions.

Which means we can contain it if we mobilize everything we got.

By "contain it," you mean telling people

that there's a sick man out there who's infecting people,

- so that they can protect themselves? - No.

Then he'll go underground and we'll never see him again.

What we need is a new public face on this.

Like your very photogenic boss.

You do like to live on the edge, don't you?

- What have you found? - Elevated antibodies in the blood,

but no ID. None.

This disease is either super rare or mutated.

So go wear your scrubs. I'm not taking that risk.

No offense.

None taken, big baby.

What's with suits? It wasn't airborne.

Apparently, we're not on the same page. What did you find?

Good news. The patients are stabilizing with the antibiotics.

That's not news, that's hope.

- We'll have to wait and see. - We are in the "wait and see" camp.

Fine. Go wait and see somewhere else, will you?

How are you doing?

She had this whole other life that I didn't know anything about.

A 15-year-old girl knew her better than I did.

Best relationships have some mystery.

She surprised you. You liked that.

Surprise.

Let's go. It's time.

"Wanna thank Special Agent In Charge Brendan Johnson,

for his help keeping the public safe, and also thank Dr. Stafford

and his team at CDC for their assistance and expertise."

Why are you sweating? Nervous?

I've been better. It's not exactly what I wanna say.

What are you going to say?

The truth, except for mode of transmission.

- Ah. So everything except what matters - Johnson's a jerk, but he's right.

- This guy may not be the only terrorist. - If you say nothing, more people will die.

If I say everything, a lot more people could die looking for him.

Listen, I need to go over this. Can I do that? Or do you need to argue again?

I'm fine. I came to tell you you're making the biggest mistake of your career.

But, no, I'm good.

[Slel-ls]

KATE: Good morning.

I'd like to start by thanking Special Agent in Charge Brendan Johnson

for all of his help in keeping the public safe.

I'd also like to thank Dr. Charles Stafford and his team at CDC

for their help and assistance.

Come on, Kate, come on. Do the right thing here.

--Of using basic precautions to stay healthy.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. - Yeah.

The antibiotics are not working.

Ethan, I told you, we gotta wait and see.

We waited. They're all dead.

KATE: --close watch on your children. No vending machines, no...

Megan, we can't stop it.

--Water fountains.

Wearing protective gloves and masks

will protect you and your families from this disease.

Dr. Murphy. Dr. Murphy. Dr. Murphy.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Dr. Murphy, any progress on how the terrorist is transmitting the disease?

People, uh, the truth...

Ahem. People, the truth is the terrorist is sick.

He's infecting all of you, and he's still out there.
