BABCOCK Get off of me! SOLDIER ONE Ow! You bitch! RICHARDS What the hell is going on here? You were supposed to escort her to intake. SOLDIER ONE We were just having a little fun. RICHARDS Oh, you were just having fun, huh? You having fun now? Is this fun? Hm? You must be Shauna Babcock. Clark Richards. Nice to meet you. Well, why am I still looking at you? Get out of here.

BABCOCK Thank you for— RICHARDS No. Don't thank me. That never should have happened to you. BABCOCK Clark Richards. They're still naming people Clark, huh? RICHARDS I might be the last one. I was named after my grandfather. BABCOCK Fair enough. I'm pretty sure I'm named after a stripper my dad knew. It smells good here in Colorado. It's freezing, though. RICHARDS You're from Las Vegas.

BABCOCK RICHARDS How the hell did this happen? SIMMONS Help, help. PET Uh, she reached through the bars, grabbed the sweep and drank him dry in about 90 seconds. LEAR Welcome home. Okay. SIMMONS LEAR There. Simmons kicks your badge into Babcock's cage. GREY T-That's right. SYKES Why would he do that? GREY He's a dick. Uh, was. Ma'am. LEAR You know, Babcock could easily have grabbed your arm but she doesn't. Then she takes Simmons. Why do you think she made that choice, Grey? PET Jonas, the virus debilitates the neocortex. She has the decision-making capability of a piranha. GREY Uh, maybe she knows I belong to Fanning. PET Oy. SYKES What, I'm sorry- You belong to Fanning? GREY Yeah, I-I-I mean I'm-I'm in charge of Fanning's cage. And she hated Simmons. He-He was a dick to her, too. PET This is really hard to listen to. LEAR No, I saw it myself. This sweep abused her. He banged on her cage, made lewd gestures, turned the lights on her. PET Wait, you're saying that this was revenge? Are you kidding me? Maybe Simmons smelled better than Grey. LEAR Yeah right, it was a hygiene issue. Look, what if it was revenge? SYKES Okay, enough. This is the first viral kill in the three years that Project Noah has been in operation. What do we do about Babcock? PET I know what they'd do at the zoo. They'd put her down. SYKES I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that. LEAR I mean, we may not want to admit it, but she's still partly human. PET Jonas, her cerebral activity's basically non-existent. BABCOCK Don't lie to me because I'll know is it gonna hurt? shouldn't have lied to me. I'll make it up to you later. BABCOCK RICHARDS Do it. Euthanize her. It's a security issue. LEAR Okay, but it won't fix the real problem. RICHARDS Which is? LEAR The nightmares? Half of everyone with 4B clearance is having them. PET I'm not having nightmares. Anybody else? SYKES Jonas, this is a stressful and lonely environment. I'd be surprised if people weren't having bad dreams. ND SOLDIER Major Sykes, they need you upstairs. There's an issue with the little girl. GREY There's a kid here? W-Why is there a kid here? RICHARDS Back to your post, Grey. AMY Don't you touch me! Nobody's putting any needle in me! I'm not putting that paper gown on either! Don't you touch me! Don't touch me! SYKES Hi, Amy. I'm Dr. Sykes. I know you're scared and angry. AMY Nobody asked me if I wanted to come here. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. SYKES Okay, well here's the thing. There are a lot of sick people in the world, and you could help us save millions of them. You might be the most important little girl in the world. You're gonna help us come up with a cure for a really dangerous disease. AMY What's gonna happen to me? SYKES I realize you have no reason to trust me, but I'm not going to let anything happen to you, I swear. You can put that promise in your pocket and take it out anytime you get scared, okay? What can I do right now to make you feel better? AMY I want the Agent. PAULSON You did the old guy in Bolivia. What was that like? RICHARDS Paulson. We're not taking any unnecessary risks. Safety is the priority here. Gas her, move her to the isolation cell on the other side of the unit, and then use the lights. ND TECH Why aren't Fanning and Babcock eating? FANNING Tough break, kid. One cheat meal, and you're back on death row. BABCOCK I'll tell you what, it was worth it just to be in charge for 90 seconds. Human blood's not bad either. FANNING I think we can be pretty certain that impulse control is your bête noire, hm? BABCOCK Can you get out of here? FANNING Trying to lighten the mood. Sorry. You need a plan. And we need you on the team. BABCOCK Fanning, my life's just been a series of things that have happened to me. Maybe it's time to call it. FANNING Who's that talking, Shauna? 'Cause that is not you. LEAR At the dinner table, there's only one thing you're doing if you're not eating, right? You're talking. FANNING Here's a promise. Stick to the plan, and one day, human blood, as sweet as it is, will bore you because you'll be guzzling it by the gallon every day for a hundred years. BABCOCK Damn, Fanning, that was semi-biblical. FANNING You have a lot more power than you think, Shauna. Use it. Tell him your story. Make him see you. MALE AGENT Richards. Bring Wolgast to Amy's room. SIERRA THOMPSON There are new details emerging in the case of Brad Wolgast, the former FBI agent wanted in the kidnapping of a ten-year-old girl. Wolgast was shot and killed Tuesday by federal agents after murdering three employees in this North Duluth, Minnesota Sheriff's station. I'm Sierra Thompson, I'll have more on this story in the hour. Back to you, Jim. JIM Thank you, Sierra. Now to southern China. WOLGAST I make dead look good, right? RICHARDS Wolgast. WOLGAST You here to kill me, buddy? RICHARDS Depends. Right now, I need you to come with me. WOLGAST Why? RICHARDS It's not a suggestion. And don't think about moving on me. WOLGAST Don't blink. WOLGAST Where is Amy? SYKES She's here, in her room. She's anxious. WOLGAST So am I. What are you gonna do to her? LEAR Well, tell him. SYKES A bird flu pandemic is spreading in China. And none of the existing vaccines are working. It's moving into the rest of Asia, and it'll be here in 60 days, maybe fewer. What we're doing could save millions. Amy gets us there faster. WOLGAST Why? SYKES Because she's a child. Her central nervous system is more plastic. RICHARDS This new bleeding heart of yours is getting on my nerves. You're part of this. WOLGAST Not anymore. How are you not in jail? RICHARDS She's getting the shot. That's what's happening. Now do you want to hold her hand or do you want me to take you back to your room? WOLGAST Okay. If anything happens to the girl, I'm coming after all three of you. RICHARDS Okay. Great. Come on. WOLGAST I already sat helplessly by a child's hospital bed in this lifetime. You knew that. WOLGAST Hey, what did we say about not panicking? AMY I didn't panic. Got you here, didn't I? WOLGAST Hi. AMY So, I counted the steps from the elevator to this room. 26. Probably less for you. Because your legs are longer. WOLGAST Good work. What's this? AMY They put a chip in me. They said it's there to see what my body's doing. But I think it's there to see if you sneak me out of here. SYKES Let me. WOLGAST Don't look at that, look at me. GREY What are you going to do to her? FANNING You have a lot more power than you think, Shauna. Tell him your story. GIRLS VOICE Okay, I think we got it, Shauna. BABCOCK Did you get it real close? I need that for my portfolio. HAYLEY Yeah, yeah. We got it. HAYLEY Oh, it's super disgusting, dude. You're so pretty. Why do you want to make yourself look so gross? BABCOCK Because it's awesome. HAYLEY Is this for makeup school? BABCOCK Special effects makeup. There's this school out in L.A. I got to get the hell out of Vegas before I turn into my mom. This place is gonna suck me dry. NIKKI You guys, I hate my costume. BABCOCK Is it because your horn looks like a massive penis?

He has a nice voice. I think his name's Anthony. WOLGAST How about we get some sleep? AMY I'm not tired. WOLGAST No? That was a pretty big yawn you did back there. Come on. Take your slippers off. AMY Whenever I close my eyes I feel like somebody's watching me. WOLGAST It's just me. Come on. How about I check the closet for monsters? Hmm? Nope. No monsters. How about under the bed? AMY WOLGAST Are you hiding monsters under here? Nope. Just the floor. It's just us here. AMY I don't like this place. Let's just get out of here, okay? WOLGAST Okay. SOLDIERS WOLGAST Hey!

He-he makes you do things. WOLGAST All right. Hey, calm down. Maybe I can help you. What does Fanning want? GREY Everything. Everything. Just, please, get her out of here. I-I WOLGAST Tell me where to find him. GREY 4B. With the rest of them. GUARD Hey! Come on, move. VALERIE Like I don't have anything better to do than pick you up at a police station. BABCOCK Yeah, I'm sure DeMarco Plumbing really grinds to a halt if you're not there to file their invoices. VALERIE What the hell were you doing last night, Shauna? BABCOCK Well, I'll tell you. The evening started at a warehouse party that I used a fake ID to get into. We drank, we took molly- well actually, I think it was molly, it was a little speedy, so who really knows? Then I saw some gross guy getting handsy with Hayley, so I slashed his arm with a beer bottle. And that's why I'm being awarded a medal for heroism. VALERIE Yeah. Is this it? Is this the best you can do, Shauna? BABCOCK You know what my plan is. I'm gonna do special effects makeup for movies. I'm moving to L.A. I already have three grand saved. VALERIE You won't follow through. Your life's just a series of things that happen to you. You're not gonna move to L.A., work in makeup. You're just gonna waste that money. We both know it. Wash your face. You're a horror show. DANNY Heard you got in trouble again. BABCOCK Thanks for your concern. DANNY Were you and your friends wearing some slutty Halloween costumes with your panties hanging out? BABCOCK Danny. It is really important you never say the word panties in front of me again. DANNY You used to be nicer to me. BABCOCK Yeah well, I don't really know what to tell you, Danny. With age comes wisdom. I'm serious. Get out of my room. DANNY Sure. You're a smart-ass, you know that? DANNY You're smart-ass, you know that? SYKES Where'd you go? RICHARDS How's she doing? SYKES It's early, but we're pushing a new prophylactic antiviral. And I did another knockout study before we gave her the shot, so Clark, this kid's has to make it or. I don't know. RICHARDS She will. I have faith in you. SYKES Are you sure you're okay? RICHARDS What do you mean? SYKES I don't know. You You seem distracted. I thought maybe it was Babcock. It's happening at midnight, right? RICHARDS Yeah. We killed her once. What does it matter if we kill her again? SYKES Do you think after this is all over we can walk out of here and lead a normal life? RICHARDS We answered the call of duty. So yeah, we will. I got to go check on Wolgast. GUARD Room checks. Step outside. AMY Can I go to the bathroom, please? GUARD Third door into the hallway. WOLGAST CARTER And here I was thinking that irony was dead. WOLGAST I know I was on the wrong side of this. I'm sorry. CARTER Well, that makes it all okay. GUARD It's clear. WOLGAST You seem good. CARTER I know. I look good, right? And I-I feel strong, alert. WOLGAST Something's not right. CARTER I don't know what it is, but it's coming. Who's the girl? Is she on death row, too? WOLGAST Does the name Fanning mean anything to you? This guy came into Amy's room, and he said that he's gonna be coming for her. CARTER Fanning's in my head. He's in my dreams. I think he runs this place. Now you best be on your toes, Agent Wolgast. RICHARDS Brad, walk with me. I got a couple of questions. CARTER Hi to you. LILA Hi, uh, could you answer a question about Martin Echols? He was on death row at your facility. Hi, I need to speak to your boss about Julio Martinez. He was on death row at your prison. DARLENE Florence McClure Correctional Center, Darlene speaking. LILA Hi, Darlene, I'm looking for some information on Shauna Babcock. DARLENE Why? LILA I'm interested in the details of her death. Um, 12 death row inmates have died mysteriously before their execution dates and no one wants to talk about it. Darlene? Is there something you want to tell me? DARLENE Shauna Babcock didn't die here. She was taken away by federal agents. I knew it was wrong. WOLGAST What are we doing? RICHARDS You're on a break. I need you to confirm something. WOLGAST Yeah, I need a few things, too. RICHARDS Was Shauna Babcock planning to go to makeup school in L.A. before things went sideways? WOLGAST That's what you need to confirm? RICHARDS Yes or no? WOLGAST Sure. That was her plan. Why does that matter? RICHARDS You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Is there any history of sexual violence? Anything like that? WOLGAST Are you writing a book about her? The stepfather. Ugly story. Was inadmissible. RICHARDS How'd you get her to come here? Take the deal with Project Noah? WOLGAST Everybody in that girl's life let her down. I presented myself as someone who wouldn't. RICHARDS You know what I'm starting to think? Nobody gets over anything. They say time helps, but it doesn't, does it? That's a That's just another lie. WOLGAST You and I have seen the worst of what human beings do to each other. You never cracked. You're losing it now. Tell me why. RICHARDS You're being dramatic. WOLGAST Who is Fanning? I know he's patient zero. I know I didn't bring him here. And I know that he's in people's dreams. What the hell is going on here? What did you put in that little girl's arm? RICHARDS This conversation is over. WOLGAST No. No, no, no. You answer me, tell me what you did to those people that I brought here. RICHARDS Just take him away. WOLGAST Who is Fanning? RICHARDS Get him out of here. WOLGAST What's going to happen to Amy?! LEAR You've been avoiding me. GREY Uh no, I-I'm busy. I-I can't. What do you need from me? Oh, no, no, no. What, what? LEAR Your dreams, they're about Fanning. GREY Mm-hmm. LEAR Can you tell me when they started? GREY Around the time the second or third subject showed up. But they were just like wispy pictures at first. LEAR So they changed is what you're saying. GREY Uh, yeah, they got more real. Longer. Movies I couldn't escape that I couldn't escape from. LEAR Does Fanning ever talk to you in his dreams? GREY He does now. That started after Babcock arrived. LEAR What does he say? GREY Last thing he told me was, um, "We have work to do." LILA Sierra. Sierra. Sierra, can I? SIERRA Excuse me. I’m sorry. LILA No. My name is Lila Wolgast. I'm Brad Wolgast's ex-wife. I-I left you like four messages. You never called me back. SIERRA Which should have been your first clue that I wasn't interested. LILA No. Brad's alive. He was not shot and killed at the sheriff's station. SIERRA You have ten seconds. LILA In the last three years, 12 death row inmates from 12 different prisons supposedly died unexpectedly before their sentences could be carried out. SIERRA Do you have names? LILA They were sent to a government facility in Colorado to be used as guinea pigs for top secret medical experiments. SIERRA You don't have anything resembling proof, do you? LILA An administrator from the Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center can confirm Shauna Babcock didn't die there. She was taken by two federal agents. My husband was one of them. SIERRA I'll look into this. If it checks out, you'll hear from me. DALE Hey, I got to hit the head again. GUARD Do you have backup? DALE Copy. Steve's here. CARTER Guard, I need a guard! STEVE What do you need, Carter? CARTER I'm thirsty! I need some water! WOLGAST I'll be back in a flash. I'm gonna go see what's really under the bed. WOLGAST 4B, please. GREY Um, I can't. You got to get out of. WOLGAST WOLGAST FANNING LEAR I guess now is a good time to talk. LEAR All right, we have three minutes before the surveillance system's back online. WOLGAST Oh, my God. I brought all these people here. LEAR We thought we could cure all diseases, create universal immunity, exponentially increase life expectancy. WOLGAST Doesn't look like it's going very well. LEAR We created a new species, and we're just beginning to understand what these virals are capable of. We thought they were catatonic, but I think they're talking to each other. WOLGAST This isn't science anymore. This janitor, I guess. Grey, he told me that Fanning was coming for Amy. What does that mean? LEAR I don't know. Fanning's patient zero. We created these virals from attenuated, genetically altered versions of his blood. WOLGAST You keep saying virals, but they drink blood and burn to ash in the sun. Why don't you just call them vampires? LEAR 'Cause we're scientists, Agent Wolgast, and there's no such thing as vampires. With each new subject turned, I think he's gotten more powerful. WOLGAST What does Fanning want? LEAR What any prisoner wants, I would imagine To be free. LILA Hey. LACEY Hey. LILA How you feeling? LACEY Better. LILA Um, is that a good idea? While you're taking pain meds? LACEY I'm not taking the pain meds. I like to feel it, so it doesn't dilute my anger at the individuals who shot me. LILA Great. Hello? SIERRA It's Sierra Thompson. I looked into your story. LILA And? SIERRA There are a lot of holes and a lot of unanswered questions, but there's something to it. LILA Fantastic. SIERRA I'll call you tomorrow. We'll meet and make a plan. LILA Okay. Great. VALERIE You read my mind. DANNY Well, okay. VALERIE Hey, I need that. Thank you. BABCOCK VOICES BABCOCK Where's my money? BABCOCK Where's my money? You took it. Where is it? DANNY I didn't take your money. BABCOCK Yeah, you did. I know because your stupid head is made of glass and the hamster that you're using as a brain looks guilty.
