The Last Ship

Who's that guy with Johnny?

I don't know where he came from.

Just washed up here this morning.

Washed up from where?

No idea.

You know, he's got a funny accent, but...

I don't think it's Russian.

Russian?

Yeah. Didn't you see the writing on the boat over there?

Well, at least he's not sick.

Got the hard drives, sir,

and everything we could find in the situation room.

You ever been here before?

Once, sir.

Sixth grade field trip.

I don't think we made it this far.

Compound is cleared, sir.

No sign of life.

And the bunker? - Impenetrable.

And no answer.

Wheels up and outbound.

Will notify on approach. Over.

The lab in Baltimore proved to be as valuable as we had hoped.

We've been able to get it up and running in a matter of days.

As of today, more than 10,000 doses have been manufactured

and word has spread up and down the eastern seaboard.

Every day, trucks and boats arrive in Baltimore

to pick up new doses and distribute them to the populace.

We are transporting 12 other doctors and scientists

to the naval base in Norfolk, Virginia,

where we hope to find pilots and planes

and determine whether or not there are functioning labs

to mass-produce the cure.

I got the hard drives.

Over here. C.O. wants them encrypted asap.

How's morale in here?

All hands are holding up best they can, sir.

I think heading to Norfolk has everyone feeling hopeful

and anxious.

Your mother's in Kansas, right?

Actually, I managed to convince her to move to Norfolk last year.

Well, I'll make sure you

get out with one of the first ground teams.

I never did get a chance

to tell you how sorry I was -- am about your wife.

Thank you.

I imagine you've been wondering

how we're gonna handle C.I.C. now.

We'll need a new T.A.O. to replace Commander Barker.

You up for it?

Absolutely, sir.

How are you feeling physically?

Fine. No side effects whatsoever.

Old rules say you can't even be at sea after 20 weeks.

I understand.

If you think it'll be a problem...

Kirkland can do the job.

He's ready.

You're more qualified.

That still wins the day.

But I'm going to expect more from you.

I won't let you down, sir.

Thanks, doc. Feeling better every day.

That is the general idea.

How's she doing? - Physically, she's fine.

Getting out of that bay

and facing the crew -- that's another matter.

Think I should talk to her?

I don't think she wants to talk to anybody.

Not even you? - Not yet.

Keep trying. - Yes, sir.

Better hit pay dirt in Norfolk.

Running low on just about everything.

Including sailors.

Can't keep sending Green and Burk and Cruz

out in the field shorthanded.

They'd never say it, but they are fried.

And how about you?

I'm the only one with my family here.

I think I'm doing just fine.

Moment of truth's coming for a lot of people.

You can't trust anything Norris told you.

Deer Park could be completely untouched.

Yeah. It's a "safe" zone.

X.O., Commo.

Go for X.O.

We managed the decryptions from the White House.

At your discretion, sir,

I think you should see this.

Aye, aye. On our way.

According to this map, the hottest zones are on the coasts.

Makes sense.

They're the most densely populated areas.

How about Norfolk? - Zooming in.

70% infection rate.

When is this dated from?

Nine weeks ago.

Do you see any trends based on those days?

At first glance, no.

I'll do a full analysis.

I should be able to extrapolate

from the size of the cities and the date of impact

how fast it's moving and what the situation might be now.

We also found a file labeled "Secnav."

It's a video file dated September 9th.

We haven't reviewed it yet. - Play it, please.

Is this on? Can I start now? - Yes, sir.

U.S. navy is curently on a mission - It's the Secretary of the Navy.

...to find the materials for a vaccine

to combat the current deadly pandemic.

Now, if y-you're viewing this video,

you are a part of the new network of facilities

in the United States and certain foreign nations

which were chosen to produce and distribute the vaccine

in the event their mission is successful.

In order to protect

the security of the labs in the new network,

your locations have been kept secret.

However, you'll be able to communicate

with the civilian command, with each other

via secure satellite connection.

The codes for that connection

have been embedded within the drive that contains this video.

These codes have to be guarded at all cost.

If -- if and when a vaccine arrives... - No one's decoded this yet?

No, sir. We didn't know those encryptions existed until just now.

Find me those labs.

Do it quickly. - Yes, sir.

Godspeed.

How many of you are there?

What kind of power source do you have?

And what's the condition of the surrounding area?

This is the lab in Lisbon. They're fully operational.

That makes four in the U.S., two in Europe.

Yes, sir.

And how many are dark?

9 international, 13 domestic,

including Norfolk.

Dr. Scott, I have Dr. Hunter in Florida.

That's her mentor from Yale.

Dr. Hunter?

Yes, it's me!

No, it's just...

It's just... hearing your voice.

We've got Salt Lake. That makes five.

Yes, I am alive.

Not only am I alive...

We have a cure.

20 pounds in 20 days! That's what the X.O. said.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Move the feet! Move the feet!

Come on!

Ah, you did good. You did real good.

Oh, man. Oh!

Attaway. Good workout.

How are you, ma'am?

Amused. - I'm serious.

I got to get down to regulation weight.

I meant with your trainer.

Well, I haven't seen you since Baltimore.

I heard rumor that you were still with us.

Yeah, well, when I heard you were headed south,

I figured hitch a ride, go by water.

It's faster, and the food's much better.

That's bullshit.

You care for these people more than you choose to admit.

Oh, easy, killer. You don't have to get so lathered up about it.

I'm not lathered.

Just saying.

You're glad I'm back.

Curious to know why you left in the first place.

Be mildly intrigued to know

where you went off to, who you went off to.

But that, I suppose, would be a lot of questions.

It's a lot of questions.

She's my daughter.

Last I heard, she was in Jackson.

How old is she?

14. Lives with her mother.

Haven't seen her in three years.

We'll be near Jackson soon enough.

Yeah. I think I'll take it one day at a time.

Hey, doc,

I'm ever in the ring, you can work my corner.

Tex.

Yeah?

Thanks for telling me.

Yeah.

As you know, we will be landing soon in Norfolk.

We've put out a call over ham radio and shortwave for pilots.

The hope is, with planes, pilots,

scientists, and doctors,

we can get the labs in America and possibly even overseas

up and running and getting real distribution of the cure.

Also be sending out six land teams with a twofold mission --

find survivors in the general population

and find our families.

Those with loved ones in Norfolk will be assigned

to the sectors corresponding to their neighborhoods.

For those who live elsewhere in the country,
