Sanctuary

Rheka, you must go.

I will do what I have to.

You must come back and retrieve it later.

It will speak.

There is no other choice.

This is my duty.

No please.

Kali.

Well, well, you led us on a merry dance,

didn't you, huh?

No... crap.

What is it?

It's not in him anymore, is it?

Look at him.

Where'd you put it?

Hey, hey, hey.

He's not going to answer.

When the bug leaves the body, you die.

It's part of the deal,

and it's been in him for a long, long time.

Help him out, will you?

Okay, people, moving on.

Spread out.

He must have passed the bug on to somebody.

Wait.

The old lady he was running with.

Find her.

Arigato.

Onryuji-San, what happened?

Suki's never done anything like this before.

Suki?

Giant lizard creature.

She's usually so docile.

He can't understand it.

No one was hurt, but there was much panic.

People were running through the streets, screaming.

Wow, it's just like in the movie.

No.

Nothing like a movie.

Where is she now?

She's been sedated offshore

while we build an enclosure on one of our Islands.

Last night she was fine,

this morning all of a sudden,

it's like a switch was turned on.

Okay, so a giant lizard creature

loose in Tokyo.

How we going to spin this?

So?

Well, it looks like our spin is holding up.

Anyone who saw Suki

now thinks it's part of

some big Hollywood blockbuster

shooting down by the harbor.

Good.

I'm getting pressure from new York

to keep this story quiet.

Our new head of house there, Terrance Wexford,

is very keen on making his mark.

You're under pressure? What's that about?

Nothing. Everything's fine.

Listen, Magnus, I know you, okay?

I know when something's up.

I promise you, when the time comes,

you will be the person that I talk to, all right?

Henry.

Sorry to bother you, doc.

Got some breaking news out of London.

What is it?

I'm patching through a video right now.

What is that?

Dear God.

London calling.

Well, we caught her,

but as you can see,

she's still a little riled up.

We just came back from Tokyo.

They had a similar problem with Suki.

What happened?

She went psycho,

broke out of her enclosure

for no apparent reason.

Now, I've received dispatches

from Sydney, Rio, and Lagos.

All of them are reporting similar incidents.

In each case, one or two abnormals

suddenly started acting up,

out of the blue, no warning.

What is causing this?

No idea,

but we'd better figure it out,

and quickly.

So far we've been lucky

no one's been seriously hurt,

but that won't be the case forever.

It could be a virus, like Lazarus last year.

Maybe, but this is

a very select group of abnormals,

and the behavior response

is totally different.

Lazarus triggered violence.

This, whatever it is,

is causing outright fear.

A change in atmosphere?

No way. Our satellite feeds

would have detected something like that.

Besides, the Peruvian seppulus

is incredibly sensitive to these kind of fluctuations,

and yet Limus reported no problems.

Which leaves us with sound.

Something sub-sonic?

Doubtful.

Pterodactyls have a high tolerance for that.

Can I just say that arguing over the cause

at this point in time is useless.

We need to initiate an immediate global alert.

We're not there yet, Terrance.

Only a handful of abnormals have been affected so far.

Almost causing a panic in London and Tokyo.

Why risk further exposure?

Dr. Magnus...

I've just received a report.

A giant sand Ray has been found in the desert

a hundred kilometers east of Minya,

dead.

Surfaced inexplicably.

This is the middle of its hibernation cycle.

All right, everyone, please, let's not panic.

There has to be a reason that this is happening.

We just have to remain vigilant

until we can figure out what it is.

In the meantime, survey your sentient abnormals,

and keep tabs on the rest.

Report any changes in behavior

to Declan immediately.

Dr. Magnus, I must insist...

that's all. Thank you.

I'm sorry, Dr. Magnus?

Yes, Ravi, what is it?

I'm not sure if this falls

under our purview,

but I thought it was worth mentioning.

A man was found shot dead in Dharavi.

He had the mark of Kali on his left leg.

Kali?

Yeah, it's an ancient cult dating back 5,000 years.

Its followers were rumored to be able to foretell disaster.

So they're abnormals?

We've no idea.

We've never actually made contact with them.

I appreciate it, Ravi.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.

So, what do you think?

You think this Kali thing ties in?

I've no idea.

This situation's so fractured,

anything, no matter how insignificant,

could be a factor.

Yeah.

What?

You want me to go to Mumbai?

I have to stay here and manage this situation.

You mean manage Wexford.

Yeah, you picked up on that, did you?

Yeah, just a little.

Okay.

Take Kate with you to Mumbai.

It'll be fun.

"We're going on a trip," he says.

"It'll be fun!" he says.

"Please stop talking for two minutes," he says.

Hey, I have just been on a plane for 15 hours.

I am entitled to a little complaining.

Yeah, well, try flying

through Tokyo and London first,

and then we'll talk.

Dr. Zimmerman, Miss Freelander.

Namaste.

I am Dr. Ganapathiraman.

Hi, Dr...

Doctor.

I'm Will.

Then you must call me Ravi.

Thank God.

I'll be Kate.

Kate.

Pavitar.

"Pure."

No, just Kate.

I have rooms ready for you

if you need to rest.

Absolutely...

no, actually, we're fine.

Why don't we just get started?

Moving fast in Mumbai?

That's a bad idea.

What are we, here on vacation?

Bring on the heat.

Female. You can tell by the markings.
