Zoo

For centuries, mankind has been the dominant species.

We've domesticated animals, locked them up,

killed them for sport.

But what if, all across the globe,

the animals decided: "No more"?

What if they finally decided to fight back?

Previously on Zoo...

Rise and shine, Jackson.

We have a dozen impatient Swedes

waiting for us to show them the rhinos.

Abraham!

My name's Jackson.

Chloe.

Was your husband...?

No, my husband is back in Paris.

Although he never became my husband.

I learned he was having an affair.

Excuse me, Mitch Morgan?

I'm Jamie Campbell. We spoke on the phone.

Right. L.A. Telegraph.

You're the animal coroner?

Veterinary pathologist.

You want to know what incited the lions to kill the zookeeper.

And the men downtown, yeah.

That makes two of us.

Apparently, there's a rash of missing cats in Brentwood.

This is an elementary school.

Yeah, but in the summer, it's a day camp.

And camp starts tomorrow.

My father made all these tapes.

He talks about a defiant pupil...

indisputable proof that his theory was correct.

Maybe my father wasn't entirely crazy.

- Jackson Oz, you're under arrest. - For what?

Interference with lawful hunting.

You got to be kidding me!

We should call Animal Control.

And tell them what?

What? This, the-the cats, the kids.

Yeah, okay.

This is weird, maybe even a little creepy,

but cats have been known to socialize in groups.

We even have a name for it.

It's called a "Clowder."

A clowder?

Yeah, a clowder.

Now, cats aren't all that social,

so you don't see it too often, but...

often enough they gave it a name.

Mitch, there's something going on here.

Yes, there's something going on here, but I can assure you

there's a rational explanation for it, all right?

Okay, then explain those lions from the zoo.

Those lions did what lions do.

They acted "Lion-y."

Smug.

Smug?

You don't see it too often,

but often enough that they gave it a name.

All right, let's call animal rescue,

but you're gonna do all the talking.

You might reach an actual human being by Tuesday.

Thank you for calling the Animal Control hotline.

To continue in English, press one.

If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911.

For wild animals, please press one.

For domestic animals, press two.

Okay, here's your explanation. Honeysuckle.

Hello. Animal Control. This is Becca.

How can I help you?

Yes, hello.

Uh, I'm calling to report a... um...

Hello?

Uh, could you send a unit

to Sunshine Elementary School?

It's on Boon Avenue in Brentwood.

There's been a, um...

Ma'am?

There's a lot of cats in the trees.

- And I think that someone needs... - I'm sorry. Cats?

Yes, cats.

All right, we'll send someone out.

That would be great.

Thank you so much.

They're on their way.

Well, this should be embarrassing.

I'm telling you, it's the honeysuckle.

See, honeysuckle to cats is like...

you know, it's like catnip.

Do you think...?

What?

They heard you calling the authorities?

Hey, Kavimba.

Listen to me, listen to me, listen.

Look, you have to let me out of here.

Honestly, Jackson,

I am of the mind to keep you here all week.

I understand, but you can't.

You have to let me out now.

You cannot continue to interfere with the tourists.

We have to get back out there

and figure out what's going on with those lions.

Look, you have to shut down the safari camps in the valley.

At least until we can properly assess

what the hell is going on out...

We go through this every time there's a prolonged dry season.

The herbivores go searching

to quench their thirst in places they shouldn't.

The big cats follow, and sometimes people get hurt.

This isn't normal dry season wandering, and you know that.

This entire town... this entire region exists

because people want to see the lions!

You exist because the people want to see the lions!

My best friend died out there.

And I'm very sorry about that.

I went to grade school with Abraham.

He was my friend, too.

Shut down the camps.

Hey, there.

Are you leaving?

Yeah.

They took my statement about the lions,

and now I'm going back to Paris.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You're no longer under arrest?

No, not for the moment.

Uh, listen, can I, um, get your contact information?

A phone, e-mail, whatever.

It was nice to meet you.

Thank you for rescuing me.

No, uh, Chloe, uh, I-I think you misunderstand me.

I'm not...

There has to be a further investigation

of what happened out there, so I may need to...

speak with you.

Of course.

Yeah.

0-6-35...

What is it?

What do you think of this, Andraz?

You like him?

- He's a soldier. - No.

Lord, help us with this adoption.

What did you expect, luv?

He's four.

I just don't know how we shall ever hope to succeed at this.

Uh, no, no, no.

No, come, come, come, come.

There, there. It's all right.

Would it be possible, sir,

to remove the dog from the lobby until we leave?

He good dog. He no bark.

Appreciate that, but still.

The last thing we need is for Andraz to be bitten by a dog

the first day he's under our supervision.

We have two more days before the adoption decree goes through.

How are we going to entertain him for two more days?

He doesn't even speak English.

What do you want to do tomorrow, Andraz?

Hmm, son?

What?

Excellent choice.

Tomorrow, we go.

Is this where you saw him last?

In there.

Go.

Keep a sharp eye out.

Yes, sir.

The driver's body's still in there, but Abe's gone.

So now what?

We keep looking.

It's fresh blood.

It must be Abe's.

Can't be more than 24 hours old.

There's a trail of it.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

Oz, wait!

Go, go, go, go!

In the jeep! In the jeep now!

Go! Go!

He's there, he's there!

Are...

are you kidding me?

I'm two days late on the rent.

It's not my call. It's my mother's.

This is the sixth month in a row you've been late.

No. No, no, no, that's...

that's impossible. Sixth?

Maybe the fifth,

but definitely not the sixth.

Listen, man, I could probably...

you know...

What?

Talk to my moms?

If you'd maybe want to grab a drink.

Maybe a meal?

You like soft-shell crab?

Dude, I'd rather sleep in the street.
