NEWSCASTER: With COVID numbers spiking around the country

and the world, health officials this week warned

of a potential new virus: Sun-9.

Sun-9 transmission rates are very low at this point,

one infection per six million.

The CDC is optimistic that these infection rates will stay low.

NEWSCASTER: Unlike COVID,

Sun-9 is an inefficient human-to-human transmitter.

It is only transferred through saliva to an open cut.

-Come on. -(thudding)

(grunting)

NEWSCASTER: Sun-9 is not asymptomatic.

Okay, Bri, I-I'll get you something.

Unlike COVID, you can only catch it

from someone already showing

the several zombie-like symptoms of infection.

REPORTER: Aren't you just saying these are zombies, Doctor?

Uh, no, primarily because zombies don't exist.

Sun-9 infections are very real, but again, highly containable.

The CDC is recommending a 12-foot

social distancing radius around anyone infected.

NEWSCASTER: Some experts argue that due to the infected

moving so slowly, the group at highest risk

are the over-65-year-olds.

In response to this threat, nursing homes across the country

are initiating highly sophisticated fitness programs

for their residents.

STERLING: One of our caregivers became infected

and was trying to bite everyone.

The nurses and staff were able to get out of his way,

but unfortunately, the seniors being taken

to a magic show were too slow.

NEWSCASTER: But Texas Lieutenant Governor Ryan Kinney

argued the economy should still be opened safely.

RYAN: Look, I'm over 70 years old.

I don't want the country shut down to save me.

The economy needs to keep going for everyone.

We senior citizens can take care of ourselves.

NEWSCASTER: Many are looking to the way Sweden

is handling their senior citizens,

giving them room to roam and allowing them

some level of individual freedom and dignity.

Psychologists is Sweden believe that this approach

to health care benefits those most at risk.

(grunting)

(panting)

Brian?

It's... it's just me.

Are you hungry?

Are you all right?

Yeah. I was hungry.

Yeah, I can see that.

Zach, the cocktail is dangerous. It sped up the virus.

I need you to call me back.

(exhales)

...don't need five reagents.

I'm telling you, use the test I gave you.

(sighs) Sorry, dear.

Ran into a bit of a minefield over here.

-Okay, What happened? -A lab tech mishandled

one of the samples you sent.

Now, you asking about a T cell immunity?

Yeah, yeah. I have a patient who's suffering

from a-a COVID viral overload.

Is there any way to treat it?

I'm putting you on screen share.

I think you should see this.

-Wait, that's from the sample I sent you? -Both samples.

-Okay, well, it-it looks like COVID. -It is.

But this is what really worries me.

Oh, my God. What is that?

-I think it's Sun-9. -I-It looks like an outgrowth

of the COVID protein.

That's why it's airborne. Anyone inhaling COVID protein

could be inhaling Sun-9, too.

Then we're in trouble.

-We're in something. -Will-will the vaccine

that stops COVID be able to stop Sun-9?

That's what I'm working on now.

-Okay, um... -(Brian grunting)

-(thudding) -Okay, what ab...

What about a patient that is already infected?

I don't know. We have an intern here.

We're working on it.

Okay, Mom, just do me a favor

-and-and keep me posted. -But you can help me.

The patient you have there,

I need to know if Sun-9 is primarily muscular

or neurological.

It would help us follow the viral path.

Okay, all right. I'll-I'll call you back.

R-Rachel?

Yeah.

You found something here.

It could matter.

Well, yeah, that's my hope.

I like your hair.

Thanks. Um, stay safe.

You, too.

(Brian grunting)

Oh...

Brian?

Okay, Brian, I need to examine you.

I'm dying, aren't I?

No.

I, uh, I don't know.

Um, my mom and I are working on trying to find out more.

But it would help if I could check your reflexes.

-Yeah? -Mm-hmm.

Are you okay?

I think I am now.

Okay. All right. And if you,

if you start to feel anything come up, just please warn me.

Yeah.

Okay. Um...

-Do you know what day it is? -It's Tuesday?

No, sh-- It's Wednesday.

RACHEL: All right, good. Now can you repeat

these words:

"Bed, person, woman,

man, camera, TV."

Bed, person, woman, man, camera, TV.

Good. Good.

All right. Do you, um...

Do you remember where we met?

What?

Do you, do you remember how we met?

Does it matter?

Well, it does if you can't remember it.

I was...

Uh, you... I-I came to you for something.

Yeah. You needed a shot.

Can you, can you picture where we were?

I... (exhales)

At lunch.

Yeah, we went to lunch afterwards.

Can you repeat the words that I just told you before?

Bed, person...

(quietly): Cam...

I'm falling apart, aren't I?

We think the neurotoxin is attacking your brain.

So my mother is looking for ways to counter it,

but, um, Brian, can you do me a favor?

There-there was a... there was a poem

that you told me about that was your favorite poem,

-that you had memorized. -Rudyard Kipling.

Yeah. Can you, can-can you remember it?

"Rome never looks where she treads.

"Always her heavy hooves fall.

"On our stomachs, our hearts or our heads...

Good.

"...and Rome never heeds when we bawl.

-"Her sentries pass on-- that is all... -Great.

"And we gather behind them in hordes

-"and plot to reconquer the wall... -Good. Keep going.

-Good. -"...with only our tongues for our swords.

"We are the little folk, we.

Too little to love or to hate."

That's great.

We just wanted to congratulate you, babe.

Where's your champagne?

-It's a martini here. -Well, then, let's toast.

To our writer daughter.

I knew someone in this family would get published.

-So when do we get to read it? -You don't want to read it.

-What are you talking about? Of course I do. -It's not Renaissance lit, Dad.

But it's about you. I want to read about you.

And your sister wants to read it, too.

-Of course she does. -DIANE: Why do you say it like that?

Because she thinks it will be embarrassing.

-(coughing) -Dad?

Are you okay?

I'm not used to champagne.

Oh, no, his asthma's been acting up.

He sounds awful. Has he seen a doctor?

Not now. Oh, my God.

Do you seen what's happening in the hospitals?

Mom, he's asthmatic and there's a respiratory virus going on.

Which is exactly why we shouldn't go.

It's not COVID, babe. Don't worry.

-You don't know that. -I've had none of the symptoms

-your mom had. -Mm-hmm.

What? When did you have COVID?

Oh, a few weeks ago. I didn't want to worry you.

Oh, my God. I hate it when you guys do this.

Oh, honey, it was nothing. I just had a little fever.

-Your dad and I slept in separate rooms. -(coughs)

This is crazy. If you don't want go to a hospital,

then at least talk to my neighbor.

BOTH: The meteorologist?

No.

The new one.

-(distant siren wails) -RACHEL: Okay, can you lean

into the microphone, Mr. Leithauser?

And take a deep inhale.

(Boyd inhales)

Okay, now exhale.

-(coughing) -Oh...

That doesn't sound good.

BOYD: I'm not going to the hospital.

Aunt Clair went in and just... never left.

Mom, Dad... (shushing) Rachel, what do you think?

Uh, Mr. Leithauser, did your doctor ever prescribe

a CPAP machine for your asthma?

-Yeah. -Oh, yeah, but he doesn't use it.

It's probably buried in the closet somewhere.

-BOYD: I hate it. -Can-can you find it, please?

Well, I don't even know if the damn thing works anymore.

Rachel, can I ask you a question, just the two of us?

Uh, y-yeah, sure.

Rachel?

Could this be something else?

A virus that's not COVID?

All right, let's just, let's just not

jump to any conclusions yet.

Okay?

-Uh, here it is, Doctor! -Okay.

All right, great, what we're gonna do

is we're gonna use the CPAP

as a, as a kind of a ventilator.

I want you to put the nasal pillow underneath his nose.

And I want you to turn it up to ten.

So-so you think this is COVID?

Well, it is possible.

Um, where have you been

-in the last week, Mr. Leithauser? -Nowhere.

No, I mean, he just teaches his classes online, that's all.

Have you seen any protruding blue veins

anywhere on your body?

No. Why, is that a new symptom?

She's just being careful, Dad. Anything?

Can I, can I see your arms, sir?

You just, uh, hold them up to the camera for me.

Okay.

All right, now the other one.

Okay.

Um, is it, is it possible

that either of you had contact with anyone

who might've been infected, someone who looked ill?

No, we don't go anyone. We're monks.

No, we hardly even say hello to anybody at the Zan-Z Bar.

-We just go right home. -Wait, what?

We just come right back home.

No, no, no, no, no, before that. Zan-Z Bar?

The deli on the corner. We just...

always get our coffee and bagels there.

You just said you never go out!

Okay, uh, Mr... Mr. Leithauser, do you, by any chance

-have a blood pressure cuff? -DIANE: Yes, I think he has--

-Uh, it's just in the cabinet. I'll grab it. -(Brian singing)

BRIAN: ♪ ...to Georgia, she's leaving, leaving ♪

RACHEL: He's showing signs of memory loss

and non-fluent aphasia.

But-but, oddly, he can still make

cognitive connections when he sings.

-When he sings? -Yes.

So it's a frontal lobe issue?

Yeah, that-that-that's, I mean, that's my take.

And his physical manifestations?

There are violent outbursts, but-but the muscle spasms

are controlled during non-fluent aphasia responses.

So the brain functions are still intact?

Some.

We need to find a way to prevent the neurotoxin's damage

-to the occipital cortex. -Yeah.

Some kind of brain stent...

Okay, I'm on it.

Keep your patient focused on the occipital cortex.

-Did you hear that, Rache? -Yes, yes, the occipital

cortex, yes.

REPORTER: The recent outbreak has resulted

in three patrons experiencing

Sun-9 infections.

The beloved Zan-Z Bar Deli in New Rochelle

insists the establishment's clean.

But the city has closed its doors...

Mr. Leithauser, hello.

-Yes. What's wrong? -Uh, nothing.

Uh, possibly nothing.

Uh, can I, can I...

look at your arms again, please?

-You can, you can take off the CPAP. -What is it, Rachel?

Just one second, please. Can you lean forward a little bit,

please, please, and-and let me see both sides.

All right, the left arm, please.

Other side.

-What are you looking for? -All right, sir?

can you, you can take off your wristwatch, please?

And just... I-I want you to hold it

steady just for a few seconds.

He's got it.

He's got it, doesn't he?

Let's not panic, Lily.

You know, stress can trigger

an asthma attack, and at this point,

I don't know if that would accelerate the effects of Sun-9.

-But if he has it, it's a death sentence. -No, we don't know that.

We don't know anything, all right?

But my mom is working on possible protocol.

So right now, all we need to do

is just monitor the progress of the virus.

(gasps)

Mom,

Dad, it may not mean anything yet.

But Rachel wants to keep track of what's going on.

So what is it, COVID or what?

-Rachel? -Uh, Mr. and Mrs. Leithauser,

we're gonna start by tracking the progress of the infection.

Okay, do you have a, um, a Sharpie or a felt pen?

But he wasn't bit, though.

This something is when people get bit, isn't it?

Yes, but we think that they're might be a,

uh, a minor infection.

Uh, one that is airborne.

Well, then, why aren't they saying that on the news?

When you say "minor," what does that mean?

Well, we think, uh,

more slow-acting.

But we're doing a lot more research on it right now.

Uh, listen, can you draw a-a circle around the arm

just above the wrist where the watch was?

-And why am I doing this? -I-I want you to call me

if the blue veins grow beyond that circle.

Okay? Now can you also draw

another circle, around the upper arm,

just about three inches below the shoulder?

-Why there? -Because the lymph nodes,

which are underneath the armpit,

they pump blood throughout the entire body.

We think that when the virus reaches that point,

it circulates the infection throughout the body.

And then what? I'm a zombie?

-(growls) -Dad. -Boyd, don't say that.

She's saying it, not me. I'm fine.

-I had an asthma flare-up. -(phone chimes)

Uh, o-okay. I-I need to take--

This is my, uh, husband from the CDC,

so I need to call him right back.

Can you just, can you please keep in touch?

-Okay? -Thank you, Rachel.

(phone chimes)

(computer ringing)

Hi, Zach.

Uh, how's it going?

Hey, good, it's good here. We're, uh...

-getting a lot of work done. -(phone chimes)

Um, listen, I, uh...

I just, I'm sorry about the voicemail I left you.

My-my mother suggested an antiviral therapeutic,

and I just wanted to warn you, it-it was a disaster.

(phone chimes)

Yeah, I know, I was wondering

what you were talking about, a cocktail.

It's, uh, it's no problem.

Honey, I'm not sure I'm gonna get home this week.

We're all, um, you know, we're working really hard here.

The White House is doing amazing work.

(phone chimes)

Uh, yeah. Yeah, it looks it.

Um, I saw, uh, your last press conference.

Gr-- It was a great job.

(phone chimes)

Thanks, but it's really the American people

that are doing great.

I'm just hoping that we can progress in our research.

(phone chimes)

Yeah. That would be, that would be good.

Anyway, I, uh...

Just checking in.

Uh-- oh, um, t-the patient that I was talking to you about,

the, um, the one who doesn't show any signs of a bite?

We think the neurotoxin is focusing on the frontal lobe.

H-He's showing signs of nonfluent aphasia.

He? Who is this?

The patient that I was talking about.

The-the one who probably was infected

-through an airborne virus? -He's still there, your patient?

Yes.

-And you're not in danger? -Uh, n-no.

No, he's confined.

(phone chimes)

But the, um, the good...

well, the important thing to know,

is that he can make cognitive connection when he sings,

but not when he speaks.

So we think that Sun-9 attacks the frontal lobe,

-and not the occipital cortex. -(phone chimes)

And, um, I was just discussing the findings

with my mother and I thought that the CDC

might, uh, might be able to use it.

You know what would really help me, Rachel, to, uh...

if I could see the patient.

-Uh, why? -I just, uh, I want to see

his veins and see how he's doing.

W-Well, he-he's confined.

And I-I don't think it would be a good idea

-to bring him to the computer. -I know, it's okay.

You can just take the iPad to him.

I'll see him through the webcam. Where is he?

In the bedroom.

Our bedroom?

Yeah, it was the easiest place to confine him.

Good. Let me see him.

(phone chimes)

BRIAN: ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Okay, Zach, here are the patient's veins,

stretching distally.

This is over the past 48 hours.

And there's no bite marks?

-No. No bite. -How old is he?

38.

And there's no veins in his face?

-No. -Let me see.

-Take my word for it. -Rache, I want to see.

-Zach, please. -How long has he been in our bed?

Zach, we-we really don't need

-to do this right now. -Maybe we do.

-You left me. -No, I didn't.

I made a mistake, and I immediately owned up to it.

Oh, my God, and that's all you need to do,

is just, is just own up to it?

"I-I killed your father,

"but I'm sorry, and-and why is it taking you so long

-to forgive me?" All right, demonize me any way you want.

I'm not the one with the lover in our marriage bed.

In our "marriage bed"?

Oh, is that, is that what we're calling it now?

W-Where? Where?

W-When was the last time that you were there?

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm dealing with a global pandemic.

It's not exactly running in a convenient manner, honey.

-I-I've got to go. -Yeah. Oh, she must be there.

You know what? You can save the holier-than-thou routine.

-It's embarrassing. -Good luck.

-Sorry you're dealing with stuff. -(sighs)

I'm dealing with a soap opera.

Sorry. What's-what's going on?

Um... Plumbing.

KERMIT: Hello there.

Over here. Hi.

Didn't mean to startle you.

-You didn't. We're just working. -M-May we help you?

You may. I'm Agent Kermit Rimland.

I know. Kermit.

It was my grandfather's name.

My parents never even heard of Sesame Street.

But I do a great Kermit.

(Kermit voice): Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here.

Um, we're a little busy here, Agent Rimland.

(regular voice): I need you to go to your door, Doctor.

You'll find a package there.

Uh, one for you too, Ms. Estereo.

Uh, go ahead, I'll wait.

Does this need to happen now?

It does.

(sighs)

Uh, go ahead and open those up.

You'll find some plastic-wrapped and sanitized attachments.

You'll click the Ethernet ends to the grey box,

and I'll show you how to fit the attachments to your body.

This is a polygraph.

It is, Doctor. Due to COVID protocols,

we've been approved to perform these over the Ethernet.

We'll start with Dr. Deraux.

Ms. Estereo, you can step outside for about 45 minutes.

-(door opens, closes) -Okay. First,

go ahead and make yourself comfortable, Doctor.

Okay.

And may I see your hands, please?

Thank you. Is that a wedding ring?

-It is. -Do you mind removing it?

There's a small ziplock bag to keep your valuables safe.

-Do you see it? -I do.

Good. Okay.

In the bag marked number one,

you'll find a black chest strap.

This is to keep track of your breathing and heart rate.

Please unfold it and put it on.

-Good. Cinch it tight, please. -Okay.

Now attach the Ethernet cable

to the grey transmitter box.

Attach it to the blue port.

Good.

Ah. I have a strong contact.

Now you'll find the ox sat monitors

in the bag marked number three.

Please attach this to your right index finger,

and the other end to the yellow port.

-Okay. -Okay, looking good.

(Kermit the Frog): Ready to start?

(Miss Piggy voice): Ready when you are, Kermie.

(regular voice): Okay. Here we go.

(humming softly)

(clears throat)

(continues humming)

HESTER: Our lab tech is still in stage one.

No pangs of hunger. No hostility.

-No swollen lymph nodes. -All right, uh,

-any solutions? -We performed a sort of emergency procedure on him.

It's not exactly ideal, but,

well, I think it may have worked.

All right, well, good. I-I have a patient

on webcam right now.

-What's-what's the procedure? -Well...

...it's not pretty.

(dialogue inaudible)

Why didn't you tell me it changed?

Because you're a little worked up over the whole thing.

Dad, let me see your arm.

Honey, I feel fine.

-You're at the point of no return. -DIANE: Okay,

that's you opinion, but we think that your doctor neighbor

went a little overboard with her whole diagnosis.

Her mom's a Nobel Prize winner. She's not making this shit up.

Well, we did a little research on WebMD,

and we found a perfectly good explanation

that isn't quite so insane.

-Telangiectasis. -Spider veins.

Oh, my God, Dad, you don't have spider veins.

Just because your dad is tired

doesn't mean he's gonna turn into a zombie.

Says the web?!

And your sister, who is also a doctor.

She has a PhD in Art History!

That could be useful.

What do we do?

What did your mom say to do?

They-they were able to stop an infection,

-but it isn't easy. -But it worked?

Yes. Yeah. We need--

We need to get your parents to a hospital right away.

I've been calling for the last two hours.

They have a recording saying to call back this evening.

-Okay, can they drive themselves there? -They don't have a car.

Ah. All right, um...

What about doctors you know?

No, I've tried them all, and they're all busy with COVID.

They'll-they'll be available tomorrow, but...

-Can my dad survive until tomorrow? -No.

So what do we do? What did your mom do?

All right, so we need to prepare

for a very drastic contingency

in case you get no other response.

Okay... what is it?

Diane, I need you to put Boyd into an ice bath.

And that'll stop the progression?

It will soothe the skin,

and it will reduce inflammation.

-And it's just temporary? -Mom, get a bath going, please.

-Boyd takes warm baths for his prostate. -All right...

What's wrong with his prostate?

-Okay, Lily, can we... -It's not cancer or anything like that.

-It's just a little inflammation. -My parents are strangers to me.

-Well, you're the one who's a dominatrix. -Oh, okay.

So it finally comes out.

I'm not Catalina. I'm the screw-up.

-DIANE: No one said that. -Mr.... Mr. Leithauser?

Lots of ice, okay?

It's not gonna hurt your prostate.

-I'm on my way! -Great. Okay, Diane,

please let me know when Boyd

is in the bathroom and he cannot hear me.

Oh, no, no, his hearing's shot. No worries there.

I've been begging him to get hearing aids...

Okay, all right, listen, Diane, uh, my mother has found a way

to stop the progression and to save his life.

Okay, well, what is it?

You need to amputate Boyd's arm.

-Is your name Fred? -ZACH: No.

Is today Friday?

No.

Are you 38 years old?

Yes.

Are you and Ms. Estereo having a sexual affair?

We did at one time.

Just a yes or no answer, Doctor.

No.

At one time, did you and Ms. Estereo have a sexual affair?

-Yes. -Have you spoken

to The Washington Post about the antiviral cocktail

for the Sun-9?

No.

Have you spoken to your wife, Rachel Boutella,

about the antiviral Sun-9 cocktail?

No.

I'm going to give you a chance to revise your answer.

If you revise, I'll delete your first answer,

Okay, do you... do you have any hedge shears?

-I-I do not. -Okay.

Um, uh...

How about an ax?

Oh. Actually-- actually, I do.

All right...

Hold it the other way, with the hammer side down.

Okay.

All right, so, the best way to do this is to...

snap the bone--

the humerus bone--

just all the way through, in half.

You can feel where the deltoid muscle ends.

You need to hit it right there, but you have to swing

really, really hard,

because if you hit it three or four times,

then that's gonna cause unnecessary trauma.

-Oh, my God. -Mom, there's still a chance

the hospital will call.

-This is just in case. -All right,

and you're gonna have to work very fast,

because there's going to be a lot of blood,

-and you've got to stop it. -Well, I have... I have plenty of gauze.

Okay, good. Good, good.

Do you have any drugs in the apartment?

-Prescription? -Yeah, he's probably gonna go into shock,

so we want to mitigate that.

Okay, well, it's like a pharmacy here.

Um, I've got oxy, m-m...

meperidine, uh... oh, fentanyl patches.

It's all for Boyd's back.

And uh... oh, we've got a bag full of gummies

from, uh, New Year's.

-You guys ate gummies? -Oh, honey,

I don't know how to tell you this, but your father

almost did cocaine with a dear friend of ours

-on the living room floor. -Wait. What?! -Okay, Lily...

-Are you serious? -Lily, I need you to let me and your mom speak, okay?

All right, Diane, I-I want you to give him

three oxys and three meperidines

and put the fentanyl patch on his lower back,

and, um...

uh, 12 gummies.

Are you sure?

Yes. Vasoconstriction will help limit the infection.

Now, do you have any... any antibiotics in the apartment?

Oh, I'm-I'm sure there's some azithromycin in here somewhere.

Okay, good. Can you give him six tablets,

or get as close to a thousand milligrams as you can.

(phone ringing)

Uh, that's-that's my husband. I will be right back.

Just go ahead and give him those pills now.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello, Dr. Boutella.

I'm Agent Kermit Rimland.

This is my badge.

I'm conducting an investigation into the recent leaks

-of information at the CDC. -Uh, I'm-I'm sorry, Agent, but you've caught me

in the middle of a medical emergency right now.

Yes, I'm sorry. But this involves

your husband's career and takes precedence.

I only need a minute of your time.

Okay. All right, a minute.

Your husband said he told you about an antiviral cocktail

the CDC was pursuing, and I just want to confirm

that you haven't told anyone about this.

-I'm sorry, he said what? -Dr. Deraux said

he told you about a therapeutic cocktail

the CDC was devising.

Well, I don't want to contradict my husband,

-but I don't know what you're talking about. -I conducted

a polygraph test-- your husband admitted

he shared details of a Sun-9 cocktail.

I'm-I'm s... Agent, uh...

(stammering): I'm sorry, what did...

what did you say your name was?

-Rimland. -Agent Rimland,

my husband has worked at the CDC for four years,

and I know how the NSA works.

Now, you're trying to catch me or my husband in a lie

by misrepresenting what he said.

-That's... -No. No, sir.

All I can do is stick to the truth.

And I don't know what you're talking about.

My husband never mentioned any cocktail.

My mother...

told me about a cocktail,

and I then mentioned it to my husband.

So stop lying, or I'll hang up right now.

You'll swear to this, ma'am?

Would it matter if I did?

Thank you for your time, ma'am.

"Doctor."

Thank you for your time, Doct...

-What's all this? -Dad, you're doing great.

-Hello, honey. -Hi, Dad.

Easy, sweetheart. Here, scoot back in your chair.

Here we go. Right here.

(Diane speaking quietly)

Look. Remember what you love more than anything?

Fawlty Towers.

-But you hate it. -I know,

but I am gonna let you watch it.

Why? Is it our anniversary?

It's either a blow job or Fawlty Towers.

-(Boyd chuckles) -Because it's a good distraction.

-From what? -Diane, can you push his chair

tighter to the table?

Oh, oh... Oh!

DIANE: He's as tight as he can get.

Dad, reach across the table

and grab the kettlebell on the other side.

From what? Distraction from what?

Something we have to do, Dad.

-Oh. -Okay, okay, Diane, now, I want you

-(Boyd laughing) -to duct-tape his hand to the kettlebell.

(continues laughing)

This is a funny part.

I know you're not supposed to laugh at Manuel,

-but it's... it's funny. -Hang on, Dad.

You're gonna be fine.

Okay, now I want you to tape his ankles

and then his calves

-and then around his thighs. -Oh!

Oh. What's with all the duct tape?

Why do you have so much?

Well, you can never have too much duct tape.

Good. Okay, now I want you to duct-tape his torso

to the back of the chair.

All right, uh, now,

can you... can you show me his arm?

I just want to see how far the veins have traveled.

DIANE: Okay, honey, on the count of three.

One, two,

-three. -(groaning)

Okay. We can't wait.

(phone ringing)

(Diane grunts, pants)

That might be the EMTs.

Okay. Tell them to hurry.

-(ringing continues) -(chuckles)

Lily.

-DIANE: Hello? -Did I ever tell you I met John Cleese?

-No, Dad. What happened? -He came to my work.

Someone asked him to do the silly walk.

And he did it.

Made us all laugh.

Here's a guy who's asked a million times a day,

to do it and he did it anyway.

That's real grace, isn't it?

You're Joe Pesci, you're gonna be asked to do

"I'm funny, how?" and you do it again

and again and again.

And that's grace.

-You're grace, Dad. -No.

I never got my book published.

You did.

I'm so proud of you.

People are stupider.

They don't want good books anymore.

Oh, but Dante survives.

You know, there were probably 15,000 other poets

from Florence you never heard of.

Like me. Ashes and dirt.

Just dumped into the potter's field.

What's with all this duct tape?

(panting)

Was that the hospital, Mom?

Uh, no. It was an offer for a cable discount.

-Oh, my God. -RACHEL: Okay, uh, Diane,

go ahead and-and put the wooden spoon in his mouth.

-Okay. Honey, open your mouth. -What?

-Say "ah." -Open your mouth. -BOYD: Ah.

-(grunting) -Come on...

(muffled): Can I ask you something first?

-Uh, yeah. What is it, honey? -What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna cut your arm off. Watch Fawlty Towers.

(Boyd grunting)

Okay, Diane, grab the ax.

Now, Diane, I want you to swing with everything that you've got.

Okay? All right. Right on the circle.

Honey, honey, look at me. I love you.

I love you more than anything, okay?

You just watch, this is the best part of Fawlty Towers.

-(grunting) -Watch. Watch. Okay.

On the count of three, you are gonna save Dad's life.

-Yes. -All right, all right, all right. Here we go.

One...

-Oh, Manuel! -Two...

It's not funny!

-Three. -(screaming)

Zach, I need to ask you an important question.

Probably the most important question I've ever asked you.

Okay. Well, I'm here for whatever you need.

-Are you alone? Is Cyndi there? -Cyndi's not here.

She's getting a polygraph test somewhere else.

But your friend Kermit should be able to tell you that.

The test was completed an hour ago.

Zach, there is a leak. Which you've already heard.

We think we know who the leaker is.

Who?

-Cyndi Estereo. -Your lover.

(sighs) Did she admit to being the leaker?

No. Her polygraph demonstrated three markers of deception.

-Cyndi's not the leaker. -How do you know?

-Because I know her. -LISA: I will admit, Zach,

we thought you were the leaker at first.

But you passed. She did not.

So we need your help.

KERMIT: We want to feed her false information.

Nothing consequential or medically important.

We want to see if she turns it over to the press.

And you want me to feed her this information?

-Of course. -Well, aren't you just testing me to see if I warn her?

Does it matter?

(sighs) Okay.

Tell me what to say.

(helicopter whirring, sirens wailing)

How was your polygraph?

Fine. How about you?

It was good. It was fine. It was normal.

Good.

Would you like some coffee?

Sure.

You can just leave the coffee on my desk.

I need to use the restroom.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

-(phone chimes) -(white noise playing)

(whispers): They said you were the leaker,

and that I needed to feed you info.

They told me the same thing.

What do we do?

Here's the problem.

I'm the leaker.

Okay, that'll cauterize the wound.

Now all you have to do is dress it.

I'm so proud of you, Mom.

Oh, I'm more proud of your dad.

All right, the key now is to watch for infection.

And you'll need to redress the wound every three hours.

And, uh, 7.5 milligrams of antibiotics every 12 hours.

-Okay? -Okay.

(knocking on door)

Um, that's my door. Okay, I'll be, I'll be right back.

-(door opens) -Rachel Boutella?

-Yes? -One-hour delivery.

(clears throat)

-Have a nice day. -You, too.

-(distant yelling) - Mom?

I'm sick.

What? What do you, what do you mean? Where?

Asymptomatic incubation period.

Before we knew our lab tech was infected,

we were all exposed.

They're tearing the entire lab apart.

-We barricaded the door to my office. -Um... Mom.

We've got-- we-we just did a successful operation here.

Rachel, stop. There's no use in trying to amputate.

It's in my lymph nodes.

I can feel it in my mind.

I'm becoming one of them. We don't have much time.

-Mom, please, I... -I figured something out.

Every time I see the color black,

I taste meatballs, and you know I'm vegan.

-I don't, I don't understand. -Sensory confusion occurs

mainly in the limbic.

But add in rage, impulse control, memory lapses.

It's attacking the limbic system.

Exactly.

Oh, God, Mom. Come on, you have to fight.

We both know this is different.

I need you to use my research.

No, Mom, s-send it to the CDC.

I'm just, I'm just a practitioner at home.

Rachel, listen. Robert Koch was just a practitioner at home.

1860.

No one would finance his research,

so he put a lab together in his living room

using a microscope his wife gave him for a birthday present.

That's how he discovered that TB wasn't hereditary.

(gunshots)

Oh, my God-- Mom, call the police, now.

I'm sorry I wasn't a better mom.

I-I just didn't want you to be a normal daughter.

I wanted you to change the world.

(stammers) Wait, what are you, what are you doing?

U-47770. Overdose.

It'll take five minutes.

Mom, no. Mom, please.

It's peaceful this way, baby.

Now you will change the world.

Mom, I don't want you to leave me.

I don't want you to leave.

I will never leave you, baby.

I wish I were there to hug you.

I wasn't much of a hugger as a mom, was I?

Now there's only a few minutes,

and all I want to do is hug you.

Mom, please.

Mom, don't do this. Mom...

-Okay. -Mom, don't.

-Mom. Mom. -I'm turning this off.

-Mom. -I just want you to know...

...I'm so proud of you.

Mom, no. Mom.

Mom!

Please. Mom.

Mom, don't.

(whimpers softly)

(siren wailing)
