V Wars

- There it is! - Unit three, on my signal. Over.

Go, go, go!

Two bodies here.

Copy. Check for vitals.

Okay, copy that, unit four.

Unit two.

- Through this way. - Go, go. Stay tight.

- Unit five, anything on the outside? - No. All clear here.

Bloodbath in our own backyard.

Six dead.

One of the victims managed to dial 911 before her neck was torn out.

SWAT team arrived too late.

I'll make a statement.

The federal government is now in control of the situation...

until we figure out what we're dealing with.

I need this to land on Fayne.

But we don't know this is Fayne.

The prion may be able to survive on surfaces for days.

The killers could have come in contact with something Fayne touched weeks ago.

I'm not telling the public that.

That would be admitting this thing is spreading.

But I believe it is.

I'm Claire O'Hagan, DNS Undersecretary Region Two.

My department will oversee all cases

arising from violence initiated by Michael Fayne.

We are appealing to the public

to report all sightings of Michael Fayne to the authorities.

It's that Michael Fayne again.

Monster was working on his bike, right?

I want to assure the public

that despite the ludicrous claims

circulating on the internet,

we are investigating every possibility.

If you see something, then you must say something.

She's lying, "Jer-gen."

Thank you.

You've been watching Claire O'Hagan, DNS Undersecretary Region Two,

- outline law enforcement's response... - I say, if you see somethin'...

- to the Michael Fayne killing spree. - You kill somethin'.

If you're just joining us now,

the Department of National Security

has declared Michael Fayne public enemy number one.

Remarkably, Director O'Hagan made a point...

Where the fuck is Monster?

Conspiracy theory circulating online

that Michael Fayne isn't...

Son of a bitch was supposed to collect my money. Did he take a little vacation?

- Terrorizing the region... - Nobody knows?

- According to DNS... - We'll go to Paco's dump

- and get the money ourselves. - and one man only.

- Yeah, what are you waiting for? - Michael Fayne.

Yeah, you go out there...

As crocks of shit go, that wasn't so bad.

You did what you had to do.

Meaning you had to lie about Michael Fayne. That's what you had to do.

Right now, Fayne is the likeliest explanation.

Not the likeliest,

just the easiest.

Okay.

Whoo!

Holy... Paco and his fucking snakes!

Goddamn it!

What happened to his leg?

Looks like something Michael Fayne would do.

Wait, Monster was workin' on Fayne's bike.

Maybe he did something to him. Maybe he turned him?

- Turned him? - Into something that would do this.

Maybe into whatever Fayne is.

A vampire or something, they say on the internet, yeah?

What do you wanna do, Bobby?

It's pretty obvious. We gotta find Monster.

We find him, then what?

Well, we're gonna fuck with him,

and then if he turns into a vampire, we're gonna kill him.

This shit's bad for business.

It's very bad.

You grab the money, okay?

You stay in case he comes back lookin' for that money.

Log 55, to determine why some who are exposed to the prions turn

while others do not.

Pause recording.

Teresa, you made it.

More like I was forced to make it.

Yeah, sorry about that.

They say I'm seconded.

I told the DNS I had to have you in the lab.

The university didn't have a choice.

That's okay, I figured you might need a friend after...

well, everything that happened.

Yeah.

Come here.

- I'm really glad you're here. - Yeah.

Um, I have to step out for one moment.

Just try to determine the prion infection rates.

- I'll get right to it. - Thank you.

Thank you, doctor. Thanks for taking the time.

Listen, I have a request.

I'm all ears.

You need to tell O'Hagan to let me join the search for Fayne.

I'm afraid that's out of the question, Doctor.

You're far too valuable an asset to be put in harm's way.

If I can bring him in,

if I can convince him to work with us...

Those are big ifs.

Look, it's not just my knowledge of prions that makes me valuable, Doctor.

It's my 30-year relationship with Michael Fayne.

So if I can bring him in alive,

we can study him.

We can accelerate a cure.

Killing him gets us nowhere.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Thank you, Doctor.

More proof.

As a precaution, I want to assure the public

that despite the ludicrous claims, we are investigating every possibility...

- You like it? - No shit. What's she got?

- 426 Hemi. - Yeah, I bet.

DNS Undersecretary Region Two

- outlining law enforcement... - Black on black Dodge Charger.

- That is slick. - Fayne killing spree.

- This yours? - Call for rational, reasoned thought...

- Yeah. - Trade you.

- Yeah, right! - Media hype.

- Internet... - Why would you wanna do that?

Very messy divorce. Gotta shed assets.

- Gotta get off the road, get off the grid. - Travel in groups as a precaution...

Well, we'd have to do some paperwork.

Michael Fayne killing spree.

As the hunt continues, you are advised to remain alert

and aware of your surroundings.

Police ask you to take another look at serial killer Michael Fayne's photograph.

Do not approach Fayne. Call police immediately.

Next, a shake-up at the UN...

Shit, man. If you're serious, you have a deal.

I've always wanted a classic. My girl's gonna love it.

See you later.

I can't thank you enough for finding this place, Dan.

How do I show you my gratitude?

You can tell all your friends how amazing I am.

In which of your... many ways?

My God. I know this guy.

He's a serial killer?

Hey.

You all right?

Yeah.

Hi, Mila.

Dani, I've been trying you for days.

I know, I know. I've just been really busy.

Great.

Mom's getting worse. She's not gonna last much longer.

Are you understanding what I'm saying?

I need you to come here

and sign the power of attorney as soon as you can.

Are you hearing me? Are you okay?

Yeah... yeah.I'm... I'm just, um...

No. No more, Dani. Now.

Okay, um...

tomorrow, late morning.

- Don't forget, Dani. - Okay, okay.

So the key questions here are...

why do some exposed to the prion transform and others do not?

Two, what is the mechanism behind their transformations?

And three, what dictates the type of creature that results?

Those are a lot of unknowns.

Not if we find the cofactor causing the transformation,

so I ran the analysis on Fayne, the dentist, and...

my wife.

All showed mutations in their junk DNA.

Junk DNA is supposed to be inactive.

- Prion changes that. - Changes it to what, doctor?

I believe that they are a parallel species...

of human.

Are you saying that when you and Fayne dug up these prions,

you accidentally revived an extinct species?

It was never extinct.

It was just dormant in a percentage of the population,

like in Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA.

So how many of these predators could there end up being?

Thousands...

maybe tens of thousands.

Maybe more. We need to find a cure before it's too late.

Where the hell is Luther Swann?

Is he on the run 'cause he killed his wife?

Is there any family we can talk to?

- Are you listening to me? - Look what I found.

His ex-wife lives here too. She has a criminal record.

Here is a divorce certificate for Luther and Rachel Swann.

Swann has an ex-wife.

[roars[

Dr. Luther Swann.

Jack Fields, DNS.

Director O'Hagan said you could help.

We got a tip on Michael Fayne's location ten miles north.

Dr. Niklos said you might be able to help bring him in.

I'll pick you up in five.

On your six. On my signal.

Mike?

You here?

Swann, we got blood.
