Original subtitles

[Reggie] Previously on The Strain...

What is the state of the city now?

Strigoi, roaming the streets,

still feeding.

The strigoil have taken ground from you,

and according to reports,

you're having trouble holding battle lines.

The message Is that we're winning, but the truth Is

we don't have the manpower to take back New York City.

Tell me, how the hell they're getting in here.

They must be coming from underground somehow.

[Fet] They're digging their own tunnels now.

The good news is that, now | Know where they're coming from.

Central Park.

Central Park...

central nest.

[indistinct chatter]

[siren walling]

So, the convict teams will clear out

all of the tunnels underneath the park,

and the police strike units will secure the park surface.

Comb through every tree, bush, gully and building

until every last one of those creatures Is dead.

Ambitious.

Concerns?

Same ones you have.

It's a big gamble.

There's no question.

It's a huge deployment,

but this is what our problem has been all along.

We never cleared Central Park, and until we take the park back,

we don't win.

So, that's what we're going to do.

All right. Let's do this.

Get everything in place, we go at first light.

[woman] Great. Let's go. [man] All right.

[indistinct chatter]

Good luck.

Captain.

So, the big nest.

You have a plan?

Star-spangled time. Rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air. Boom!

We're setting you up with an insertion team

to help you get to your target.

No. Those tunnels are too small for a big team.

It'll be small and tactical,

but you're going In there with a team.

Good luck, Mr. Fet.

And to you, Councilwoman.

Good hunting. You, too.

Boom, baby!

[theme music playing]

That's the Jeter foul ball?

The one you spilled a soda on me trying to catch.

Everything in your room and this is what you chose to bring.

You know, the sun's out.

And?

Let's do something fun.

[knocking]

[Eichhorst] Zack? [Kelly] Zack?

What time is it?

It's breakfast time.

Why can't | have a clock?

[Eichhorst] There IS no need.

Mr. Eichhorst and | have something for you.

[gasps]

Don't be afraid, Zack.

She's a feeler.

[Eichhorst] She's here to protect you.

I've seen those things kill people.

These are very special creatures, Zack.

Very perceptive and agile.

What's wrong with its eyes?

She was once a child about your age, but she was blind.

Now she can see?

With all her other senses,

better than you can.

What's her name?

[Eichhorst] You can name her.

Anything you like.

She's here to serve you.

Give her an order and she will carry it out.

Like what?

Bed.

It's okay, Zack. Try it.

Door.

Come.

She will do anything you want her to do.

But most importantly,

she will keep you safe.

Maybe once you become more comfortable with her,

the two of you can go outside together at night.

Get some fresh air.

| know you want to go out.

It's okay.

Come on.

You two have fun.

[eerie music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Hi, officer. Hi.

I'm looking for Captain Rogers.

| guess he's just over there. At the table.

Right over there? Yeah.

All right, thank you.

Hey there. Captain Rogers?

Right here.

Captain Kate Rogers?

Vasiliy.

| thought you were stationed on the other side of town.

| was.

But it looks like we got to throw

everything we got at Central Park.

That's the plan, Captain.

| drew the low card, though.

| gotta run some civilian down underneath the park.

Supposedly, he's going to blow up this big nest full of strigoi.

Civilian, huh?

Yeah. Some city exterminator. Didn't make sense to me.

I'm the guy who found the nest.

But you're with the SEALS, right?

| was advising the SEALS.

Oh.

You didn't think that you had a night with a Navy SEAL, did you?

No. No, that wasn't the reason for anything.

No, you know, because some women, you know, they meet a guy

and they find out he's a rat catcher, you know, they get

caught up in all the glamor.

Yeah, | bet.

You know, when | met you at the bar,

| didn't need to review your resume

to know that you're the right man for the job.

Why don't you come with me?

I'm going to go pick up a couple of things.

No, I'm good.

I've got a couple of things to pick up. Come on.

All right, let's go.

Captain Rogers.

You don't have a key to your own door?

Well, the door bolts from inside.

Also, | don't want to get shot by my new tenants, so...

[bolt unlocking]

Hey.

Sorry to wake you. It's all right.

This is Captain Rogers.

Hey. Hey.

My new partner in crime.

This Is Dutch Velders.

And that's the Doc.

Just came to pick up some stuff.

It's your house.

| didn't think you would turn it into

some kind of hospital for munchers.

But, whatever.

The bioweapon's played out,

so Eph and I've been looking for other angles.

Yeah. Us, too.

[Fet] Grab those bags of powdered silver.

What do you need that for?

Faraldo's mounting a big assault on Central Park today.

Why Central Park?

Because we found thousands of strigois nesting under it.

It's Infested.

Doc, this could be exactly what we need.

A major battle. Loads of strigoi talking to each other.

When is this happening?

First light.

What you two... Are you two coming?

We're studying strigoi communication patterns.

This is an opportunity to learn something.

You're trying to figure out what they're saying to each other,

during the battle?

We don't need to know what they're saying.

We just need to learn how to disrupt it.

Yeah, all right.

The rally point IS Columbus Circle, 5:00 a.m.

See you then.

Be careful. Good luck.

Be safe, huh? Yeah. You, too.

Where'd he find her?

Don't know, don't care.

Now...

which of these should we use for the receiver?

Marley. Marley.

Bob Marley?

No, like Jacob Marley.

Scrooge's old business partner, now a tormented ghost

of his former self.

[Fet] Works for me.

You want me to name you?

Would you like that?

Right.

You don't talk.

You don't have to stay over there.

You can come over here if you want to.

[purring]

[alarms blaring]

Looks like they're bringing In everybody now.

What, you think a girl can't fight?

| didn't say that.

That's not what | meant.

Everybody out.

[man] Right this way.

Listen up.

Good news, people.

We're giving you the opportunity

to take part In a historic battle.

The fate of Manhattan depends on It.

If you fight bravely,

full pardons.

No more tunnel duty. Pick a weapon.

Take this one.

How did you get here?

| got arrested last night.

| didn't even do anything. | was just lifting shit off bodies.

Anything | could trade for food.

So If we make It, they pardon us?

[man speaking Spanish]

Come on, man.

Don't listen to that. All right!

Follow me.

[speaking Spanish]

| guess so.

Move it!

None of the captains reported any contact yet.

| hate being here.

When we fought in Red Hook | was scared shitless,

but at least | had a rifle In my hands.

Oh, hold on.

What is 117? It's on.

Three of our teams have engaged the strigol.

Any news from Fet?

Not yet.

[Fet] About 20 blocks to go.

[Kate] So, where are we going?

This old water tunnel.

So, the silver powder,

how do we disperse It?

Well, it's easy. We just tape the grenades to the bags,

and set off a timer so It blows In mid air.

Let the barbecue begin.

You can do all that without blowing us up In the process?

I'm excited to find out.

All right, we're hitting the tunnels.

Lights.

This should do nicely.

Close enough to the tunnel to catch their communications.

But plenty of sunlight to keep us safe.

This kind of reminds me of when we were spying on Palmer.

Except, he was speaking English.

Out loud.

Always the technicalities with you.

If they're talking, we will hear them.

Question is, will we hear the Master talking back?

We just need to look for anomalies.

Anything that breaks the established communication patterns.

You never rendered your opinion on Captain Rogers.

Who?

You know, Fet's new comrade in arms.

Yeah, | did. | said | didn't care.

Am | sensing some jealousy here?

NO.

Not at all, actually. She seems very lovely.

Disciplined. She could be very good for him.

Yeah. But you're imagining your sword at her throat.

| wish her nothing but the best.

Well, that's good, because she can probably take you in a fight.

Now you're just baiting me,

which I'm not gonna rise to.

Just stating a fact.

Not even to defend my fighting skills,

which are vastly superior to yours.

Okay, now you're baiting me.

Not my fault, if you're telegraphing your moods all the time.

That's absurd. | very consciously misdirect my--

[high-pitched screeching]

Wow!

Look at that.

Chattering like magpies out there.

[siren walling]

[Fet whispering] Okay, we're clear. Head's up.

[snarls]

[gunshot]

Iman] Watch your flanks.

[Fet whispering] Keep your eyes open.

[growling]

[Fet] Eyes up, okay? [man] Yeah.

[Fet] Okay, okay, okay.

Lee, clear. Copy.

[shrieking]

[gunshots]

[shrieking] [man shouting]

[gunshots]

[Lee shouting] No! No! No! No!

Lee, Riley, you good?

Shit!

[growling] [Fet] Stay down!

When they come...

make sure you keep them at least

two arm lengths away from you, okay?

That's as far as the stinger can reach.

Just remember. If It touches you, you will die.

| know.

All right, listen up.

We're gonna go in here.

Elizalde, you and the big guy go first,

Why don't you go first? You got the guns.

That's right. We do.

If you see any stingers, lead them back here,

we'll take them down when they come through.

Oh, really?

Okay, cause | just saw you back there,

shaking like you were about to start crying.

[snickers]

| don't want to come through there and you hit me by accident.

Does this look shaky to you, pendejo?

Let's go. Let's go.

[speaking Spanish]

[snickering]

Funny.

She stays.

Fine.

Look out.

[snarling] Right there!

[shrieking and growling]

Should we go in?

You got the guns. What do you think?

NO.

We got to stay here and protect the whole team.

Elizalde?

Hurtado?

Tunnel's clear.

Country Club, Bamm-Bamm. Get in there, see what's going on.

Come on, hustle.

Come on. Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Awesome.

[speaking Spanish]

It's really not that hard. You just got to go for the head.

Think they were looking for you, bro.

All clear?

Yeah, | think | said that already.

[laughs] Nice work, Elizalde.

Stay right by me.

Come on, this way.

Watch the light, okay?

Wait.

[shrieking]

[man] Aah!

Help me, somebody help me!

[groaning] I'm in here.

Check me.

Ah, shit!

Lee, I'm so sorry.

No, don't. [gunshots]

You okay to keep going?

We're coming back for the bodies.

Yeah.

This IS us.

I'm pretty sure this is police brutality.

You going to at least say please this time?

[growling]

What was that?

YOu.

Come on. Get in there.

Me?

Yell out what you hear.

I'll do It.

No, no. She goes. Alone.

Go ahead. But, | don't even--

Get in there!

Come on. Just go!

Come on, come on, come on!

[gun clicking] Don't try me. Go!

[Elizalde] Angel!

Put the gun down! Put the gun down!

Let go of her, you piece of shit!

You don't got a clear shot, bitch.

| do.

Look, look. Nobody has to get hurt, okay?

We're just going to walk out of here.

AS Soon as we're In a safe place, I'm going to let her go.

All right? Come on, Maria.

Just do what he says, Tardi!

Just put the gun down, okay?

[gunshots]

[Maria screaming]

Oh, God!

[Maria crying]

Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay. Come here.

It's okay, come on. Come on.

Here, drop this. Drop it, drop It.

Take this.

It's okay, It's okay.

You just point it and pull the trigger.

All right? Come on, let's go.

Come on, Angel, let's go. You all right?

I'm okay.

Ready?

Not bad.

What? What is it?

[growling]

Hey, come back here.

Zack, pack your things.

We have to leave.

Why?

It's no longer safe here.

People are coming, who want to kill us.

[Eichhorst] Hurry up.

Take whatever you want.

We are not coming back here.

You have three minutes.

We're observing clusters of sonic activity

at irregular intervals,

but we'll require further...

Setting off your own bullshit detector again?

Let me try.

We have a shit-ton of signaling and no idea what it means.

And we may never.

Don't be such a glass-half-empty bloke, doc.

We are going to be like the Bletchley Park Enigma code ladies.

I've always had a little fantasy about that.

Being in World War Il,

code breaking, tidy lipstick, rolls in my hair--

That's delightful.

[static flickering]

[in Spanish]

It's hard to tell where we are on this map.

There should be a shaft somewhere around here

that leads us to the surface of this thing.

[growling]

[clattering]

[gunshots] [screeching]

Everybody, be careful.

[screeching] [Gus] Fuck!

[gunshots] [screaming]

I'm out!

They're trying to make us run out of ammo.

They're doing a good job.

[squealing] [gunshot]

Where did that shot come from?

[Fet] Who's there? Where's that coming from?

[Maria] Who was that? [Kate] We will shoot!

[Fet] Who's there? [Kate] Weapons down!

You put the gun down! Thirty seconds, or | shoot!

[Fet] Everyone, shut up!

Fet!

Fet, is that you?

You know this guy? Yes.

[both laugh]

Fet. Good to see you, man. Gus.

This is Gus.

And that's Angel.

This Is Kate. And |--

Maria.

What the hell are you guys doing out here?

| thought you guys were dead.

Cops arrested us.

Forced us to fight.

You know anything about that?

Faraldo needed more bodies.

Look, I'm not going to force you to do anything, all right?

I'm just going to ask you. We need your help.

You're already down here, you know?

| don't know, Fet.

| mean, we really ain't into being

In the whole chain gang anymore, you know?

You're not going back to no chain gang.

| promise youl.

You got to let these two go.

[in Spanish]

It's no place for her, Angel.

You got to get her to safety.

Okay, okay.

Take the map.

Thank you.

You'll be all right.

Okay, this way.

We're burning daylight. Where is he? Where Is Fet?

On his way.

[indistinct chatter in background]

Which means that we don't know If

he'll make it to the nest before dark.

Your call.

But you can turn him around.

After dark, It's going to be a whole different ball game.

Keep going.

What is this place?

You're the New York City expert. It's not on your map?

NO.

Shit.

What? What is 117?

Doc's kid. He was here.

Doc, you read me?

Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, this Is Vasiliy Fet.

Please come In.

So, did we get anything out of this? Anything of use?

Once we analyze the data, yeah.

Well, that's promising.

Were you expecting to hear their plans for world domination?

| don't know what | was expecting.

[loud Interference]

| wasn't expecting that.

This Is a massive communication spike.

[Fet] Eph. Ephraim Goodweather.

It's Fet. You out there?

Fet, yeah. This is Eph.

Go to channel three. You copy?

Fet, you there? What's up?

Doc, it's...

It's about Zack.

You should get down here.

[siren walling]

[Faraldo] Sun has gone down.

Please tell me we are close.

We're close. Fet is almost at the nest.

[Faraldo sighs]

[Dutch] You sure it's this way?

[Ephraim] That's what Fet said.

[Dutch] Jesus.

[creature screeches] [Dutch yells]

[gunshots]

Shit!

Guess what?

They know we're here now.

[Fet] Here we are.

This is It.

Let's do this.

[creatures growling]

Holy shit!

Have you ever seen anything like that?

Looks like we found the slumber party.

All right.

Pass them down.

[Gus] You got it, Fet?

[Fet] Got it.

[distant snarl]

Hear that?

Shit.

Fet, hurry up!

[gunshot]

[creatures shrieking]

[Gus] Fet! Here they come.

[gunshots]

They're coming from everywhere, Fet.

You ready, you little bastards?

Forget the wire. Just pull the pins and toss them.

No! | got to make sure that the silver spreads throughout the cavern.

It's got to go off at the right height.

Or else, we're not going to get all of them.

Hurry up, Fet. Let's go!

[Kate] Fet, watch out!

Fire in the hole!

Save me a leg.

[explosion]

[creatures screaming]

Watch out!

[chuckles]

Whoo.

Oh, shit!

It's about damn time!

Oh, shit!

Fry, you bastards!

[creatures squealing]

This Is Kowalski.

Copy that.

It's done.

Fet took out the nest.

But we still have to get through the night, okay?

Well, I'd say you've done It, Councilwoman.

The park Is ours.

Tomorrow, Manhattan.

Then on from there.

It's a good night.

He's still alive.

He must be close by.

Zack?

Zack, are you here?

[gun clicks]

He's not.

Where Is he?

Where's my son?

He's a very special young man.

So much potential.

He's safe.

From you.

He told us how you abandoned him.

So many times.

But please, allow me to congratulate you

on your great victory here today.

Perhaps a monument will be built

to Councilwoman Faraldo in Central Park.

Or perhaps not.

Iman] Command. Checkpoint Bravo 116.

Command, we're in a world of shit!

What's going on here?

[Kowalski] On speakers.

Copy Bravo 116. This is Command. Sit-rep, over.

Iman] Command, we got thousands of strigoil pouring in.

Fence has buckled--

Pull up the checkpoint feeds.

| got 15, 16 men down.

We need help fast--

[Kowalski] 116, Command. Respond.

[static]

1167 [static]

Christ almighty, they've overrun our checkpoint at 116th Street?

And 110th and Amsterdam?

They've broken through our entire northern perimeter.

They lured us to keep us out after nightfall.

[man] Command. Park north. It's a goddamn flood.

Why don't you surrender, Dr. Goodweather?

Do you truly believe there is a grand design

predicated upon human dominance?

Of course, you don't.

As a scientist and a man of medicine

you know such matters are not left to the whim of divinity,

but are the result of sheer force.

The strongest will prevail.

Where's my son?

Your wife and your child call to you.

[gunshots]

[screams]

We can't stop fighting.

Could you get that rooftop camera from the Met for me?

[woman] On your screen now.

[Kowalski] That means we cracked our lines at the reservoir.

Mother of God.

Hope you're ready to be a hero.

All I'm ready for IS to knock back a couple of beers.

[man] Christ! They've flanked our position.

Five guys left. We're surrounded.

Nobody can--

We need help, right now!

[siren walling]

[people shouting]

[Dutch] This isn't good.

Hey, where are you going?

Infected! Thousands of them!

Get the hell out of here!

The strigol are taking back the park.

Doc, we need to get our shit out of the kiosk

or we risk losing everything.

Let's not leave here empty-handed.

I'm not leaving.

Zack's not here. We'll find him later.

[sirens walling]

[Kowalski] It was a trap.

So they could sweep South through Harlem.

| never dreamed there would be that many.

We're not going to hold the park.

All units, this is Justine Faraldo. Withdraw.

Pull out of the park now!

Withdraw, all units withdraw!

[frenzied chatter]

It's over.

[creatures roaring]

[theme music playing]
