The Strain

Previously on The Strain...

You know, I was getting on the subway today and I did see,

like, 10 rats on the platform.

Rats don't migrate like that. Something was driving them out

- of their nest. - Like what?

A bigger predator. Oh, shit.

Oh God! We were talking about

- finding a cure. - That was before we knew

- how quickly it spread. - But this isn't my home.

I'll lie down with you until you fall asleep.

What's going on?

- We have to go! Come on! - What?

We need to lock down anyone related to the plane casualties.

I have empirical proof that the victims are returning home

and infecting their families. They have you on video

dragging Redfern's body down the hallway.

I have to get out of here.

Drop your phone, I'll see what I can do.

* Follow me love is the answer*

Reporting similar accounts of widespread

service interruptions. Certain sources are implicating

the "Citizens For Liberty"...

The us and international markets continue

to plummet. The cure...

Everyone's freaking out. I mean you've got, like,

all the best elements of new year's Eve and Times Square

and you've got pickpockets and perverts doing their thing

and then you've got this added attraction of a lunar event.

And then of course all those people that are like,

"oh no! This occultation, that's the sign

- "of some apocalyptic thing." - You guys, I am one

of those people. I am freaking out, there's so much craziness

- in the city right now. - The way the news

is going these days, this could be the end of the world.

h... h... h... h...

Oh, my God...

No... no...

Just k... Just kill me.

That is what I am doing.

No! No!

Please! Please! Please! No!

No!

Argh! Someone help me!

N... no!

No! No! No!

Please! Somebody help me!

H...

But while we wait for the world to change,

I need you to last me a few meals more.

Kelly Goodweather? I'm special agent Monroe,

this is special agent Woodbridge. FBI.

- OK. - We're looking for your husband

Dr. Ephraim Goodweather. Is he here by any chance?

- No. Um, we're separated. - Oh, sorry to hear that.

We've been having trouble reaching him...

Well, do you know where he is right now or how we can

get in contact with him?

I... I have his phone number.

Yeah, no. His cellphone has gone dark.

Wait, is Eph OK? Does this have something to do

- with the airplane? - It does, yeah.

- What's going on? - FBI. I'm agent Monroe

and this is agent Woodbridge.

We're looking for Ephraim Goodweather. And you are?

Matt Sayles, Kelly's boyfriend. What's the matter?

You know what, Matt, I've got it. If you want to go

check on Zack. Make sure he doesn't wander over.

If Dr. Goodweather gets in touch with either one of you,

we'd appreciate it if you contacted us immediately.

If you don't mind, I have to get my son off to school.

- You think he's in there? - With his wife's boyfriend

in the house? Eh, not a chance.

Can only be Thursday, can it?

- You jammed up to? - Office's so flooded

with calls, we're referring business to the competition,

- who're too busy to take it. - I know, you dope.

I'm the competition. Something's going on.

One of the mafia... 'Scuse me,

the sanitation department,

forget to do their trash pick-up this week?

I was on a roof in Mott haven yesterday, a whole squad

of munchers livin' up there, like pigeons.

Yeah, I saw them pourin' out of a sewer in

morning-side heights. Hundreds. Like somethin' biblical.

It's a mass displacement.

Something's driving them out from underground.

- How you know this, Fet? - I seen 'em. In the tunnels.

- Seen what? - Something big.

And it's hiding down there in the dark.

- What? The mole people? - Ha! Ha! Ha!

You'd be happy to see the mole people instead of these things.

What'd they look like?

Fsh... I'm just saying be careful, that's all.

Hey, Fet. Next time you see 'em,

- thank 'em for all the overtime. - Yeah. Ha! Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

* I see 'em coming seen 'em coming *

Oh!

- Is this boring or what? - Didn't come here to pitty-pat.

Pretty boy, I never liked you anyway.

- Now you hurt my feelings. - Uh oh!

My ride here?

It is. I'm here for Mr. Elizalde.

Pitty-pat that.

- With who? The queen? - Mr. Eichhorst.

Nah, I don't work for him no more.

You'd better step up out of here, home boy.

I'm afraid he insists.

Alright, man. Be easy with that heat, eh?

Let me get cleaned up. Felix.

- What's up? - This guy I used to work for.

Putting the press on me. We gon' end that shit today, though.

What did those men want?

- Nothing. - Is dad in trouble?

- Why do you ask? - 'Cause he's on TV.

Wanted for questioning by the FBI.

This morning the bureau announced that Dr. Ephraim

Goodweather is a person of interest in the sudden

- dad! - Disappearance of...

Eph what the hell did you do?

Redfern apparently went missing last night from St. Sebastian's hospital...

Whatever they're saying, it's completely bogus.

We need to get Zack out of the city right now.

- Go to your mother's in Vermont. - Wait... what the hell

- are you talking about? - Something awful is happening.

Um... the contagion. It's a terrible disease, an outbreak.

It's burning its way through the city and they're trying

to make sure nobody'll listen to me.

- Is it that bad? - How did you get in here?

Just... just pack a bag. Throw some clothes in, get out.

- Look, you're scaring me. - I'm scared.

I've never seen anything like this. Nobody has. If there's some big emergency

why isn't there any news about it? Why isn't the government warning us

- instead of looking for you. - They're trying to turn it around on me.

Look, I know too much.

- Maybe that sounds crazy. - You gotta get rid of your phone, dad.

They can use it to trace you.

- I did that already. - Go upstairs and get ready for school.

Upstairs, Zack.

You're scaring me and you're going to scare your son.

Is it the custody hearing? I mean, have you finally snapped?

How many drinks have you had this morning, Eph?

You know me Kelly. You need to do this.

Look, you need to stop giving me orders, OK?

Besides, how many times have you said "you can't outrun a virus"?

Well this one, you need to try.

Look, I wouldn't be saying this if it wasn't important!

You can take my office, you can tear it down,

you can turn it into a game room, I don't give a shit.

But this matters.

- You called the FBI? - Goddamn fool.

Take it easy, doctor. Put your hands behind your head.

- OK, doc. Stop right there, eh? - My God, Eph.

We just have a few questions for you.

Put your hands behind your head!

Run.

They left with him in the backseat.

I don't think any of the neighbours noticed anything.

- Why did you do that? - What?

Call the FBI as they instructed us to do?

What? You want us to be an accessory to whatever?

- It wasn't your call to make. - He forced his way into our house.

Into my house! My ex-husband.

And I will decide how to deal with him.

Wow you... you're actually defending him.

- Why did they arrest dad? - You know what? It was just

a big misunderstanding and we're going to sort it out.

- Are we going to Vermont? - Know what? Maybe we should.

- Just to be safe. - Are you kidding me? And do what?

You're just going to pull Zack out of school?

And how are you going to find a substitute for your class

this late? I'm sorry, but I'm not losing my job because

- your ex went crazy. - Don't say that about him!

Zack, just go wait in the car for me, OK?

Look, I know you're upset. With your history...

No, you shut your mouth and you listen to me.

This is my family, my life. I invited you in, you are

a guest and you need to start acting like one.

A guest?

Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe I acted too quickly.

No no no. We know what we're doing here, OK? I'm here.

I'm here because I love you. I'm here

because I'm trying to protect this family.

- We're way past me being a guest. - I need to go to work.

- We're not done here! - I am.

Fine. Fine, I gotta go to work too.

- Great. - Great.

We've inventory tonight and it's gonna go late.

I won't wait up.

Sabia mea fredonaza argint.

Agh... agh!

Grrr!

M... agh...

Mama, are you OK? Do you remember anything

from last night?

It... it was a lovely dinner.

I wish I could forget like you.

Hello?

I've been better. Have you heard from Eph?
