I didn't used to believe in monsters. But I do now. I saw them change everything. It didn't start with me. It started with two lifelong friends who wanted to make the world a better place. TIM This is crazy, pal. How many day we've been walking now? I still can't believe I gave that punk my watch. JONAS Suits him. Elevates his status. TIM I don't think he knows where he's going. JONAS No, I think we're close. TIM I think we're lost. Yo, we almost there yet? RICHARDS Hey, Fanning. Still doesn't speak English. Maybe we can't find your guy 'cause he doesn't exist. JONAS You know, if it's true, we change the world. You skeptical, Richards? RICHARDS Of your magical 250-year-old man? Oh, who cares what I think? The DOD and the CDC believe in you, Lear, so here we are. GUIDE SOLDIER He says your guy's in that cave. This is as far as he'll take us. SOLDIER Careful. SOLDIER 2 Eyes up. JONAS Oh my god. It's him. MAN TIM Why the hell's he in a cage? What's that kid doing? Is he sick? JONAS Tim, Tim, no. TIM Hey, what's going on? BOLIVIAN BOY TIM Is he sick? BOLIVIAN BOY RICHARDS What's he saying? SOLDIER Vampire. TIM Hey, we're doctors. We can help. Is he sick? RICHARDS Fanning, get away from the cage! VAMPIRE TIM JONAS Tim! RICHARDS Take him down! Aim for his head! VAMPIRE SOLDIER Won't stay down! RICHARDS Hey! SOLDIER Move, move! RICHARDS Ah! JONAS Tim! TIM JONAS No, Tim... no. AMY Dr. Lear thought his friend was dead. TIM Jonas... AMY But death would've been better. JONAS Oh my god, Tim... You're alive. Your neck... TIM JONAS How is this possible? TIM I don't know. But I feel amazing, Jonas. I think we found what we're looking for. We're going to change the world. JONAS You're bleeding. TIM I am? AMY What they discovered in that cave set everything in motion. Project NOAH was born. PRISON GUARD Just what the hell is Project NOAH anyway? What, you boys building some type of ark? BRAD That him? BRAD Mr. Carter, we represent a government medical organization called Project NOAH. We're on the verge of an exciting breakthrough that can improve the lives of all Americans. A drug that makes people immune to disease. Infectious diseases, like AIDs, Ebola, SARS. CARTER What does this have to do with me? BRAD In exchange for commuting your execution, you have the opportunity to take part in a drug trial. You won't be the first either. Martin Eccles, John Baffs, a young lady named Shauna Babcock, all people who were facing execution and now they're in Colorado. Enjoying the scenery. CARTER Are any of those people you just mentioned available to speak about their experience at Project NOAH? DOYLE You know, you're a murderer on death row. It doesn't look to me like you have that many options. This is a take it or leave it deal. CARTER How bout I leave it, then. BRAD Anthony. Of course you have a choice, and yes, this is unusual. But you're gonna be executed. That's gonna be the end of your story. What I'm offering you instead is time. I can give you an ocean of time. AMY So many things led to what happened. It was the perfect storm. NICHOLE Listen up. I just got off the phone with the CDC and the Department of Defense. The Chinese avian flu has gone from outbreak to epidemic. Now, our intelligence has put the death toll at 15,000. It's airborne, it mutates fast, and there's no vaccine. JONAS What's the incubation period? NICHOLE 12 hours. You get exposed at breakfast, you're dead by dinner. We're looking at a global pandemic. DOCTOR How long until that hits the U.S.? NICHOLE Three months if they can't contain it. But the CDC think the work we're doing is our best hope for a vaccine. JONAS Well, we haven't brought a subject safely through trial. I mean, we're nowhere near ready. NICHOLE I'm aware of that, Dr. Lear. So, how do we get ready? JONAS We could try incubating in mammalian viral cells. NICHOLE No, that would take too long. You need extended passaging with antitryptic activity. DANIEL I got something. Nobody's gonna like it, though. NICHOLE Yeah, well, I have a very open mind right now. DANIEL Let's go down to the cells. It'll be easier to explain there. DOCTORS DANIEL Tim Fanning. Patient zero. He was 52 when he was infected in Bolivia three years ago. The exposure threw his immune system into hyperdrive. But after a short period of accelerated healing, he declined into this. He's immune to disease, but he's also a lethal bloodsucking monster who we are all very careful not to call a vampire. JONAS Is there a point to this recap? DANIEL Setting the table. Stay with me. Then came the murderers. John Baffs, Victor Chavez, Cathy Tyrell, Rupert Sosa. We attenuated the formula with each subject. Each one had a longer period of good health before the decline with less side effects. Still, lethal and ugly as hell, but we're getting close. Eccles, Martinez, June Rhinehart, the white supremacist, she was delightful. Then we get to Shauna Babcock. Subject 11. The best result yet. She took 28 days to decline. And when she did, her vital signs and appearance remained human. We exposed her to Ebola, HIV, measles. She's immune to all of it. RICHARDS And she can still rip your head off and drink you like a Jamba Juice. DANIEL Well yes, okay. Nobody's perfect, but we're making progress. It's not just tweaks to the formula. It's age. The formula attacks neurons. Younger people have more neurons. The more neurons, the less severe the decline. NICHOLE How old is Anthony Carter? RICHARDS He's 25. Arrives tomorrow. DANIEL We should move forward with him, but he's not young enough. JONAS Don't even say it. NICHOLE Are you suggesting we try with a child? DANIEL Yes. Children have billions more neurons than adults. A child would come through with zero side effects. You wanted a solution. This is it. NICHOLE RICHARDS How far'd you go? NICHOLE Six miles, maybe. How'd you know where I was? RICHARDS I know where everybody is. It's my job. You okay? NICHOLE I spent all day trying to punch holes in Pet's research. But it holds up. I think he's right. I can't believe I'm saying this, but how feasible is it to find a child? RICHARDS Can you live with this? NICHOLE No. It's hideous. But it's either I live with it or millions of people die. Can you find a child? Can you do that? RICHARDS Yeah. I can do it. Just a matter of finding a kid with no family, no paper trail with social services. Someone no one'll miss. KIDS Come on! You got it! You got it! You got it! You got it! You got it! You got it! You got it! BOY You gonna let a girl beat your ass? AMY Not trying to make you sad, but I think it's time for you to lose.

We're very sorry for your loss. We have reason to believe that she may have been exposed to a disease. AMY My mom died of an overdose. BRAD We think she was exposed to a toxin. The CDC wants you to see a specialist in Colorado. AMY How come there's no social worker? And how come they didn't send a lady? They always send a lady. BRAD I don't know. They just sent us. We'll have to do. FOSTER MOM Amy, pack up and go with these men. Move it. Let's go. Hey, so uh, can I get reimbursed for her meals? I don't get free food just because I'm a good person.

JONAS It's just cabin fever, Grey. I wouldn't read too much into it. DANIEL He can play as much classic rock as he wants, that baby boomer is gone. They all are. RICHARDS You sure about that? DANIEL The MRI shows no higher brain function. Sure, they all have their little quirks. Baffs taps his feet like he's dancing. Martinez paces all day. Babcock likes to stare at you.
