ANN MARIE They kept showing footage of the plane just sitting there dark, dead on the tarmac over and over again. Like the Trade Center, remember? Why do they do that to us? It’s so painful to watch. I knew you shouldn’t have gone on that trip. ANN MARIE Go play in the backyard. You too, Benji. Go on. ANN MARIE I just ... I get so overwhelmed when you’re gone. Gertie got out once, she was missing all night, she came back hurt, but I just I hate chaining her up in the shed. ANN MARIE I took the phone off the hook. They showed our house on the TV news. They’re interviewing the neighbors about us. ANN MARIE Please, Ansel, go back to bed. You have to get better, okay? ANN MARIE She was hit with something. ANN MARIE Well, you told me that one of the doctors wanted to quarantine you! ANN MARIE What if he finds out that you’re still sick? ANN MARIE What if you have to go back to the hospital? ANN MARIE You came back hurt, too. ANSEL Ah! ANSEL Ann-Marie. ANSEL Ann-Marie. ANSEL Do you hear that? ANSEL Gertie. ANSEL I’m not going back to the hospital. ANSEL It’ll pass. I’m home, honey. I’m fine. We’re gonna be fine. ANSEL Much better. My throat still hurts, though. ANSEL Ow! ANSEL Wait Gertie came back hurt? ASHLEY Deal. ASHLEY Yes. BAND MEMBER Ears! Guys, check it out. Hold on. BAND MEMBER Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! BARNES All 206 casualties are gone. And the Medical Examiner, so far as I can tell. BARNES I know. BARNES If I remember correctly, Ephraim, you no longer have any responsibility here whatsoever. You make sure the press gets nothing. BARNES No, and I don’t want to know, really. BARNES Radio silence from us. BARNES So be it. As long as it’s not our diagnosis. BARNES We are the government, Jim. We can barely tie our own shoes sometimes. My money’s on the military. BARNES We do nothing. This is no longer about disease control; this is about damage control, and as of this moment the CDC is an interested observer nothing more, which I will be sure to stress to the Secretary of Health and Human Services over breakfast. BISHOP please respond. Over. BISHOP Regis 753, Kennedy Ground BOLIVAR And, what, have these pictures up on Gawker 10 minutes later? No way, Doc. You need to do something. BOLIVAR A distant pounding. BOLIVAR I can’t focus. BOLIVAR I’m hearing things, Doc. Strange things. BOLIVAR It’s not gonna happen today. BOLIVAR One voice. It’s calling my name. BOLIVAR There’s that hum again. BOLIVAR Well, now that you mention it ... BOLIVAR Your cash machine has a cold. Flu or something. No voice, no concert. DR BOX Uh, yeah, that does not look good. What I need for you to do right now is have somebody drive you to the nearest hospital. No, I mean like yesterday. DR BOX DR BOX So, pre-tour jitters, huh? DR BOX Alrighty. I’m all over that. And we’ll throw a little Adderall in there to help you remember those lyrics, huh? Alrighty. Any other performance-related issues ? DR BOX I get that, totally. Tranquilizers’ll take the edge off nicely. You’ve heard of the “morning after” pill? Klonopin is the “night before” pill. DR BOX Mm-mm. DR BOX No! You’re WAY beyond that. This is SO out of my bandwidth. Look, I know a urologist who might be persuaded to make an emergency house call. Trust me, she’s very discreet. DR BOX Voices, right? I get that, too. DR BOX Yep. DR LESTER It could be a PAM. Primary amebic meningoencephalitis. A very rare parasitic meningitis. DR LESTER We’ll prep him right here. We’re getting the operating room ready. It won’t be long. EICHHORST To victory. EICHHORST You have two bosses now, Jim Kent. The ones you report to at the CDC ... and me. EICHHORST Soon, no more charade. EICHHORST I want you to watch it unfold, unable to do anything to stop it. EICHHORST I presume you’re here about the airplane cargo. The box? EICHHORST I refer specifically to an ornately carved cabinet you allowed out of the airport security perimeter. EICHHORST Mr. Jim Kent. EICHHORST Not only do I think you will not go to the police, I feel confident that we may continue to rely on your good services. EICHHORST Our company finances the entire research program. The decision can be reversed. It is not too late to see Sylvia admitted to the trial. EICHHORST Regret? Repentance? Guilt? EICHHORST The door was open. EICHHORST To violate your terms of employment and break the law. I understand there is a very promising monoclonal antibody trial for her form of cancer in Palo Alto? Thirty thousand people applied but only 100 were accepted. And your Sylvia was cruelly denied. EICHHORST Watching you through me. EICHHORST Would you like to write a note? EICHHORST Yes, and here is the rest of the money Gregg promised you in return. EICHHORST Yes. Gregg could not be present. But we got your call. Urgent from the sound of it. EICHHORST You are a member of the Canary Project, the CDC’s rapid-response team of field epidemiologists? EICHHORST You must love your wife very much. EMMA EPH What? What? When? Okay, I’m on my way! EPH It’s Dr. Goodweather from the Centers for Disease Control. EPH Mr. Arnot? EPH Hey, Nora. Have any of the personal effects of the deceased been released to the next of kin by any chance? EPH Is anybody up high? Anybody got a view? EPH Jim, where are you? EPH They’re all dead. EPH EPH survived and we don’t know why. EPH Two hundred and six passengers are dead. EPH ‘Cause they don’t want them autopsied. Is there more that you know, Everett? EPH Ah, excuse me, Your Honor I think there’s been a mistake. I think that what he means to say is that joint custody would be EPH All right, spread out. He’s still here somewhere. So is whoever took him. Jim, conference us in on our phones! EPH All right. Just let me know if anything changes. And we have to check up on the health of the other survivors, too. EPH And that I want joint custody. EPH And we don’t know why. Four passengers EPH Are you saying someone released her body to you? EPH Doyle, we’re going to find out what’s infecting you and we’re gonna make you well again. You have my word. EPH Doyle, what are you doing? EPH Fine. Anything. Just EPH He coded. EPH He’s stuck in a plastic containment tube surrounded by doctors who don’t know anything. He needs a little help. My hearing with Zack’s in 45 minutes. EPH Hello? Mr. Arnot? EPH Hey! Hey, did you see a patient come by here about five minutes ago, probably pushed in a wheelchair? Bald, very sick. EPH How can Zack not know he’s the most important thing in the world to me? EPH I don’t know. Right now we just need to save his life. EPH I love my son, and I will do anything for him! EPH I never asked him to choose. EPH I wanted to talk about the custody hearing tomorrow. EPH It’s a blood worm. And a nasty one. I know I’m asking a lot of you but I’d appreciate if you’d all hang in there and develop a protocol for Captain Redfern’s treatment. I need all hands on deck here. Thank you. EPH It’s ludicrous. Contemptuous. EPH Jim? EPH Neck rigidity, sensitivity to natural light, mental disorientation all clinical features of a central nervous system infection. EPH No, no, it’s the way you asked the question, so just ask it again EPH Oh, you’re loving this, huh? You take Zack away from me. I never thought you’d be one to gloat. EPH That’s great! EPH This speed of progression is medically impossible. We need to get him into surgery, find out what’s happening inside him right now. EPH We have a responsibility, Everett! EPH We’ve got survivors! EPH Where the hell have you been? We’ve been calling you. We can’t find any of the other three survivors, or even Gary Arnot. Redfern’s going into emergency surgery. EPH Where the hell is Jim? EPH Why would the military leave four surviving passengers? EPH You know what? Where did they take the bodies? EPH You said she didn’t FAMILY JUDGE Dr. Goodweather FAMILY JUDGE Dr. Goodweather! FAMILY JUDGE I have a few questions for you, Zachary, and it’s important that you understand that there are no right or wrong answers. The court will make all final determinations, but your input is important. Zachary, what do you think would be the best solution for your mom and dad, regarding custody and visitation rights? FET What do YOU think would be best for you? FET All right. Hey, hon, no more eating in bed, all right? Is that a deal? FET Cubans, huh? Cohiba Maduro 5’s. Like smoking coffee and cream. Fifty bucks apiece, though, huh? You know, a customer of mine. He, uh, gave me one of those once. FET Here, hold this. FET Scary, huh, honey? FET You know who else likes cigars? Do you? Rats. This neighborhood was still a slum in 1931. To put up this building, they knocked down a cigar factory and they built right over the original foundation. You paid what, fourteen and a quarter million for this six-bedroom duplex? It’s on Zillow. This place has changed hands three times in the past seven years and now you know why. FET All right. Have a nice day. FET Anesthetic. FET He’ll probably get a bonus. This is a week’s worth of rat calls in one day. Why so many, huh? Why? Why so many? FET Huh. FET I don’t work for the Mayor. FET I’ll wear my top hat and monocle. FET I’m not here to rehabilitate it. FET I’ve got an elementary school, a hospital, and a church and you want me to go to this guy first? FET Yeah, seven times I’ve been bitten already. And I know it doesn’t tickle. Yeah, you know, rats they have bad eyes but a very keen sense of smell and taste. That’s why they usually bite children around the mouth ‘cause that’s where the food smell is. Do you understand? You stick right here. I’ll be right back. Yeah? All right? FLAXTON NO!! FLAXTON Okay. What are you doing? No, no, wait. FLAXTON any allegation regarding our aircraft being unsafe or mechanically unsound is categorically untrue FLAXTON of safety in our industry. FLAXTON Since assuming the presidency of Regis Air, I have made safety my number-one priority. No one FLAXTON The documents that have been haphazardly released to the Internet paint an incomplete, distorted, and FLAXTON A note? FLAXTON No, it wasn’t. FLAXTON What FLAXTON Who the hell are you?! How the hell did you get in here? FOSTER This thing was on her pillow FOSTER Can we speed this up, then? This Regis Air fiasco’s crushing my portfolio. Market opened down 600 points, we’re already into program selling, my phone’s blowing up, and I’m stuck here waiting on you. FOSTER I I don’t want this. What is that? FOSTER when she woke up. Bit her in the face. I want this rat found and killed. GARY ARNOT Emma’s alive. She showed up on my doorstep this morning. GARY ARNOT No, not her body. GARY ARNOT sending my little girl home to me. GARY ARNOT This is Gary Arnot. GARY ARNOT Thank you for GARY ARNOT This is my daughter! My daughter, Emma. I just want to see her again! HOSPITAL PA Paging Dr. Goodweather. Dr. Goodweather to the ISO unit, stat. JAX Why do you want that list anyway? JAX Every damn passenger you want their social security numbers, email passwords, Facebook, Twitter? Whatever you want, I can get it. JAX Next time, challenge me. JIM I’m going to the police. JIM Oh God! JIM JIM JIM In the basement. JIM Nothing here. No sign of him. JIM I’m checking downstairs. JIM Ah, you know the new monoclonal antibody trial they’re doing at Stanford? They accepted Sylvia, after all. JIM All right! JIM Captain Redfern. JIM Hey, guys, sorry. JIM Hey, it’s Jim Kent. We need to talk. JIM Hey. JIM How do you know that? I never said anything to Gregg. JIM I don’t know what you’re talking about. JIM I made a deal with Gregg to provide some information, and let a piece of medical cargo through Customs. That’s it. JIM I’ll come back another time JIM I’m here to see Gregg. JIM I’m only doing this to pay for her treatment. JIM I they must have made some sort of a clerical mistake or something. I don’t know, but it’s insane; she’s in. JIM Jesus, Jesus. What did I do? JIM Okay, I found him. He’s in the kitchen. The kitchen in the basement. Eph, you gotta Eph. JIM Okay. JIM Sylvia! JIM That’s great. JIM Well, what do you think? Was it the government? JIM What text? JIM What was in the box? Where are the corpses? JIM What? JIM Who are you? JOAN It’s almost like an echo. KELLY Hey. Are you okay? KELLY You can still have that, Eph. Zack needs it. Regardless of the ruling the judge imposed, any time you want to see him so long as you give me some notice. KELLY Just give me a second, okay? KELLY Yeah, okay. KELLY He spoke from his heart in there and he did what he thought was best for YOU, Eph. Not him, YOU. KELLY Oh, it wasn’t enough that he had to get up there and choose between his mother and father! KELLY Telling him is one thing; showing it, proving it ... it’s the little things, day in, day out that’s everything. KELLY Yeah. Yeah. C’mere, sweetie. It’s okay. Mom’s okay. We’re going to be okay. Just stay with me, okay? KELLY You coached Zack! You tried to coerce him into saying what you wanted. LAURETTA Pest Control Services, hold please. LAURETTA I mean, shouldn’t this man be arrested or something? LAURETTA The phone keeps ringing but all I want to do is watch this airplane coverage. I’m never flying again. MAN ON VOICEMAIL You’ve reached Gregg Nelson. Leave me a message. MASTERS VOICE Ansel ... drink. MASTERS VOICE Ansel ... drink. MASTERS VOICE Ansel! MASTERS VOICE Doyle! MATT Yeah? MATT Hey, ready? MATT It’s MISDEMEANOR JUDGE Criminal trespass and MISDEMEANOR JUDGE Anybody live with you? Any family? MISDEMEANOR JUDGE Children? Grandchildren? MISDEMEANOR JUDGE I have here that you own a pawn shop. Knickerbocker Loans and Curios on East 118th Street? MISDEMEANOR JUDGE interference with a criminal investigation. Mister, is it SetRAKE-ian, Set-RACK-ian? MISDEMEANOR JUDGE Mr. Setrakian, what in the name of John F. Kennedy were you doing at the airport Saturday night? MISDEMEANOR JUDGE Trade it for a nice aluminum cane with a rubber foot. Case dismissed! MISDEMEANOR JUDGE Trespassing is a nuisance charge, but what does concern me is this. This is a concealed weapon, Mr. Setrakian, and we have strict laws in New York City. NEWSCASTER caused the tragedy aboard Flight 753. This has led to a freefall of Regis Air stock on Wall Street A224 NEWSCASTER the CDC is no longer investigating a pathogen as a cause of the deaths on Regis Air Flight 753. This is most certainly in response to the recent leak of documents containing records of problems at Regis Air and inspection ... The leaked documents NEWSCASTER The airline industry has been shaken by the recent tragedy at JFK. A sharp fall-off in airline revenues over the past several days indicates customers are nervous about traveling after the mysterious deaths of 206 passengers aboard Regis Air Flight 753. As you can see, Regis’s stock is in a freefall, plummeting 69 percent NORA NORA NORA Oh God. NORA Okay, I get it. You’re upset. NORA What’s happening? NORA NORA Nothing. I don’t see anything NORA NORA NORA NORA NORA And I want to talk to that old man. NORA Captain Redfern! NORA Do you know where they are? NORA Eph! NORA Explain to me why, if they’re already dead, we need to destroy the bodies. NORA Go. Redfern’s covered. NORA Going? Sir, please come with me. Help us! NORA How much of that was an act? NORA I’m Dr. Nora Martinez, from the CDC. We met at the airport? NORA Is the military covering it up? NORA Jim, what’s the matter? NORA Not right here. Why? NORA Oh God. Oh! NORA Oh my God. NORA Oh! Finally, some good news! NORA Okay, then tell me what needs to be done? NORA So what do we do now? NORA Stay away from him! NORA STOP HIM! NORA The one we had arrested at the airport. He knew things, Eph. NORA The story that they all died from an air filtration problem? Carbon monoxide poisoning? We saw those bodies. There were no signs of that. NORA Too late for what? What was in that coffin? NORA Who, Captain Redfern? Who’s here? NORA Why would they take the bodies? NORA Yes. I’ll call you. NORA You can’t promise him that. REDFERN Here. He’s here. REDFERN Doctor, I’m scared. Am I going to die? RIVERS His daughter was bitten by a muncher, and he’s a hedge fund manager and a major contributor so, yes, you will go there first, and you will be on your best behavior. Got it? RIVERS I do. And you work for me. RIVERS Just don’t piss him off, all right? RIVERS This is not a “why” business, Vasiliy. This is a “now” business. Rat bite. First on your list today. Mayor’s office’s special request. RUBY Between that airplane thing and you taking a bite out of that girl, your downloads are up tenfold, and the YouTube video has over 2 million views. We just need you focused. Timing is everything, Gabe. RUBY How about another go at it? SECRETARY PIERSON These Regis Air documents point to a systems failure aboard Flight 753. It’s not a CDC case anymore. SETRAKIAN This is pointless. You’re not ready. SETRAKIAN It is not too late! SETRAKIAN A thing of enormous power and terrible will. A will to devour the world and swallow the light. SETRAKIAN Already it may be too late. SETRAKIAN And here’s your video gaming waste of time. SETRAKIAN As you like, Your Honor. SETRAKIAN Because you need to find every last passenger and destroy the bodies and anyone in contact with them. SETRAKIAN Do I know you? SETRAKIAN Do not allow it across the river! SETRAKIAN Do not be so easily distracted. He thrives on human self-interest and bureaucratic complacency. You and Dr. Goodweather, you think that being good is enough? Being good means nothing unless you are willing to do what needs to be done. When it needs to be done. SETRAKIAN Do you have a complete passenger manifest with you? SETRAKIAN Doctor, did you find the coffin? SETRAKIAN I am a widower, Your Honor. SETRAKIAN I know where they’re going. SETRAKIAN I, uh, saw a story on television about a plane that landed. I, I, I guess I’m not quite sure, Your Honor. I’m old, and things, things are not that clear anymore. SETRAKIAN I’m gonna visit their families, pay my respects. SETRAKIAN It, it, it is an antique piece, Your Honor, that I use for my mobility only. It is of great sentimental value, a family trophy you might say. I, I, I will have the blade removed and melted. You, you have my word. SETRAKIAN Thank you, Your Honor. SETRAKIAN Until you are willing to do what needs to be done, you are of no use to me. SETRAKIAN We were never so blessed. SETRAKIAN Where is your Master now? SETRAKIAN Yes, sir. All licensed and registered. I came here after World War II, after the camps were liberated. SETRAKIAN Yes, very good. Are all the names here? SETRAKIAN You’re here because the bodies have disappeared. SURGICAL NURSE Dr. Goodweather! Your patient he’s gone! SURGICAL NURSE No, he’s gone! He was ready for surgery. I left to make final preparations. He was only alone for a minute! SYLVIA Hey. SYLVIA Stanford called. There was a clerical error. They ARE accepting me into the drug trial! I’m one of the lucky 100! SYLVIA That was quick! You got my text? SYLVIA You were right. You said never give up hope, and good things happen to good people, right? Right? THE MASTERS VOICE Jim! ZACK Mom? ZACK I feel like if my dad could visit like one or two weekends a month, that would be really good because he has a really important job, and this way he wouldn’t be too stressed about being late or having something come up. ZACK I want what’s best for my Dad. That’s all. ZACK Mom says I should just say how I feel. ZACK Mom? ZACK Mom? Are you okay? ZACK Okay. ZACK Well, I guess I think that ... I know that they both want what’s best for me. ZACK Yeah, okay.
