Zoo

We've domesticated animals, locked them up,

Killed them for sport.

But a series of recent events seem to suggest

All across the globe animals have decided: "no more."

And so we were hired,

A team of people from different backgrounds,

With different specialities:

An expert in animal behavior,

A journalist,

Safari guide,

Foreign intelligence agent,

And a veterinary pathologist.

Our task: To find out what is happening with the animals,

Why it's happening,

And how to stop it.

Previously on zoo...

Your suspicions over the last few weeks are correct.

The global pandemic your father believed was about to emerge,

It has arrived.

Uh, sorry. His father?

Delavane: Professor robert oz.

Mitch: We're all here because you believe that

The scientific theories of a notorious crackpot

Are now coming to pass?

Watch yourself, scrawny.

So it has begun.

The awakening

Of the animals' cognitive acuity.

The defiant pupil is a signifier that

The way the animals see the world is now changing.

What used to be a friend is now an enemy.

You are thoroughly obsessed

With reiden global, aren't you? Yeah, i am.

What'd they do to your hometown? They murdered it.

Lucy: But i need the truth, mr. Hartley.

Did you kill my husband?

But all the answers are right here.

(woman speaking japanese over p.A.)

Growing up, i never understood my father,

And now...

Now i understand him even less.

You know, when i was...

12, he asked me

If i wanted to buy his soul.

Who says that

To a 12-year-old? More importantly,

What does that even mean?

How much did he want for it?

We never got to prices.

Abraham: Maybe we just need a fresh pair of eyes.

Perhaps those

Of another scientist.

Who, mitch?

I wouldn't ask that guy

For directions to the men's room.

Uh...

I remember my uncle tebogo's old african saying:

"once you get off on the wrong foot,

You land on an even wronger one."

You don't have an uncle tebogo, abe.

If i did, i am sure he would have said that.

Can we go home now?

See, this is the problem with obsession.

No room at all for the happy little gray areas.

The world has plenty of happy little gray areas, mitch.

The israeli-palestinian conflict,

The legalization of marijuana,

Taylor swift's move from country to pop. All right,

If delavane is right, if what he's saying is true--

And i'm not saying that it is-- but if...

Then this goes way beyond what we saw with the lions in l.A.

What if the animals that led the attacks in china,

In europe, africa were all infected with the same thing?

This could be the beginning

Of a worldwide event. I'm pretty sure

There's a reason they're called reiden global.

They have their tentacles in everything, from pesticides

To genetically-modified crop seeds.

It's a one-stop shop for the animal apocalypse.

Abraham: Coffee?

Ah, thank you. You read my mind.

There you go.

Thank you.

Does any of this make sense to you?

Interesting penmanship.

Who wrote this, a seven-year-old on a roller coaster?

My father.

Right.

Well, i don't have a clue

What's going on in most of these pictures, but...

This, felidae, carnivora,

That's big cat taxonomy.

Panthera pardus.

Leopards.

Leopards?

You have any idea why leopards

Would be so important to your father?

No. Chloe: Guys,

Change of plans.

We're going to mississippi.

Mississippi? What happened to beijing?

There's been a prison fire at biloxi penitentiary.

It appears no one survived--

Not guards, not prisoners, no one. Jamie: Prison fire?

What does that have to do with us?

Because at the time of the fire, the prison was under attack.

By wolves.

Chloe: So, jackson, we'll take the sedan.

You guys take the suv.

You shall need the extra room.

I shall? Yes. Jackson: Wait, why are we

Taking two cars? Uh, you, jamie and i

Will be going to the prison.

A french national was being held there.

We are representatives from the french embassy

Coming to discuss dealing with his remains.

Jamie: French embassy?

You're dgse, right? French fbi?

Why the false credentials?

Because from this moment on, we have no agency,

No government affiliation.

We're on our own.

What about delavane? Yes, delavane is funding

Our operation.

But beyond that, we're--

How do you say... Confidentiel.

Off... Off the books.

Abraham: Should i presume

The reason mitch needs extra room is because of me?

: If i wasn't such a nice guy,

I might be offended. No.

I need you two to trap a wolf.

S... Wha... Sorry?

Yes. I expect

Studying a wolf will provide answers

As to what may have caused the pack...

No. But i don't know the first thing

About trapping a wolf. Which is why

Abraham will be going with you.

Wait, why don't i just go with abraham?

Genius recommendation. I second that. Chloe: No, no, no.

I need you with me at the prison.

It was ground zero for the wolf attack.

We will need supplies. Yes.

Chloe: There's a hunting supply store down the highway.

And this should cover the cost of purchases.

: Okay?

Let's go.

Are you coming?

Yeah.

You know, i... Like this chloe.

She's what you would call "peppery."

Yeah, i was never a big fan of peppery.

...Reports of wolves inside the prison.

Right now. Right inside this building right here...

We're here to see deputy kraft.

We're from the french embassy.

He's expecting us.

And who are these two?

Chloe: They're with me.

If the french embassy is full of gals like you,

Maybe i should go work there.

I'll be sure to get you an application.

Follow me.

I'll bring you to the deputy.

The wolves came in through that door?

Officer: Far as we know-- we don't have

A complete picture since some of our security footage

Was destroyed in the fire,

But according to the medical examiner,

Whoever the smoke and fire didn't kill, the wolves did.

Do you know how many wolves were involved in the attack?

Specifically, no,

But, uh, you don't have to be a scientific genius

To figure a hell of a lot.

I knew that americans enjoy hunting;

I had no idea it was this popular.

Uh, excuse me.

What's going on?

The county announced a wolf call,

Because of what happened at the prison.

What is a "wolf call"?

That's when a bunch of men go out into the woods

To hunt wolves, armed with beer and high-powered rifles.

'cause, you know, what goes better together

Than guns and drinking?

Do you have any traps or snares?

We are looking to catch a wolf-- catch, not kill.

We might have some net guns in the back.

You want to catch

And not kill?

What are you gonna do with a rabid wolf?

Gonna take it to dinner and a movie?

Those wolves aren't rabid.

See, rabid wolves don't travel in the pack.

They're ostracized and forced to move alone.

Rabid or not rabid,

It doesn't really matter much.

Either way they'll be dead.

You don't have to kill them.
