JIM Where’s his head? EPH That is his head. JIM DETECTIVE MARC WEBER I thought you guys were used to shit like this. EPH He’s not a doctor. It would take a lot of pressure to crush his skull like that. What did this? DETECTIVE MARC WEBER Tower said he came down here with you. EPH Yeah, he was helping us look for a large cabinet from Regis 753 that went missing. DETECTIVE MARC WEBER What was in it? EPH We think it was some sort of infectious agent. DETECTIVE MARC WEBER You mean, whatever killed the people on that plane? JIM We don’t know that. JIM I mean, it’s just a theory at this point, right? NORA Ammonia. Just like on the plane. EPH Hey!

I don’t care what he said! Just stall them, lose their clothes. I don’t care. Just keep ‘em there till we get there. EPH We have to go. This crime scene is now under CDC authority. Nobody touches that body. Barnes just released the four survivors. BOLIVAR You don’t need a cab. My driver’ll be glad to drop you off. EPH I’m sorry, folks, but you’re not going anywhere. JOAN Oh, spare yourself the crucifixion. You don’t have a chance in hell of making this stick. BOLIVAR You still think it’s some super flu, Doc? I mean, haven’t you seen the news? JOAN Someone leaked the Regis Air documents to the Internet. It’s carbon monoxide poisoning. All of it covered up by the airline’s CEO, Daniel Flaxton. Well, you should be relieved, Doctor. It’s out of your hands. Now if you don’t mind, I’ve got a lawsuit to file. JOAN EPH You believe everything you see on TV? BOLIVAR Holy Jesus, is this man annoying. We’re fine. We’re all fine. No thanks to you, Doc. NORA Feeling fine at this moment does not mean you’re not sick. EPH Diseases incubate. BOLIVAR Look, I get it. This is your time in the spotlight, snag a promotion. Love to help, but I’ve got a major concert on the day of the eclipse, so ... ANSEL I need to go. I do. REDFERN If it were up to me, I’d stay. But my union lawyers want me out of this. EPH All right, we’re going around in circles here. So let me be very clear: you’re all staying here under quarantine on my authority. JOAN Director Barnes said we would be released. EPH And I say you stay. I don’t care what Barnes said. According to the Health Powers Act, it only takes two physicians to issue a quarantine order. JOAN It’s on. One phone call, I get your job. And Little Miss Moffet’s. NORA You better start dialing then. JOAN Dialing. Katie, it’s Joan. Get me the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Margaret Pierson. TV NEWSCASTER At a press conference last night, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, Chief Medical Officer with TV NEWSCASTER the Centers for Disease Control in New York City, said it was too early in his investigation to EICHHORST This could be a problem. TV NEWSCASTER draw any conclusions. TV NEWSCASTER Since then, Dr. Goodweather and other CDC officials have declined to comment publicly on the case. EICHHORST The CDC has closed the airport. They have still not released the survivors. If they continue to treat this as an epidemic, it will delay our timetable. PALMER In an hour, nobody will be talking about an epidemic. And I’ll have the four survivors on the street. EICHHORST You will accomplish this how? PALMER Disinformation. A good story always trumps the truth. Just give the press a villain to hate. Now that this is done, when do I see him? EICHHORST Soon. PALMER He is across the river. That was our deal. EICHHORST You will see him soon. PALMER Where are you going? EICHHORST EICHHORST To see an old friend. NEWSCASTER I personally read all 250 pages of the Regis document and I was shocked and sickened by the airline’s flagrant disregard for the safety of its passengers and repeated violations GUARD Abraham Setrakian! Your lawyer’s here to see you. SETRAKIAN I have no lawyer. EICHHORST You’ve grown old, A230385. SETRAKIAN Eichhorst. EICHHORST Surprised to see me? SETRAKIAN It has been many years. You look exactly the same. EICHHORST Your heartbeat is irregular. I can hear it, Jew, clear as a bell. SETRAKIAN Did the coffin cross the river? EICHHORST What do you think? SETRAKIAN And where is your Master now? EICHHORST Watching you through me. The great game is over, Jew. SETRAKIAN Not while I still breathe. EICHHORST Amazing. Despite all evidence to the contrary, you cling to the delusion that you will prevail. Don’t tell me you still believe in that God of yours. So, where is He? Why has He done nothing? Face the truth, he’s nothing but a figment of your imagination. EICHHORST Your arrest report says you were apprehended with an antique sword. Is it Sardu’s? SETRAKIAN Don’t worry. I will give it back to your Master in due time. EICHHORST That is amusing. And her heart. Do you still have that as well? EICHHORST Oh, you are such a sentimentalist. You might like to know this. She struggled at the very end, but she never cried out. I thought that strange. Not even a whimper. Only a single word, “Abraham.” But you were not there to help her. Do you feel great regret? SETRAKIAN II will avenge her. EICHHORST You will not avenge anyone. You’re not a hero or a savior. You’re just a number. I took your name and gave you that number. That’s all you are. EICHHORST It’s good for you that you are in here. It is the only place you can feel safe. Safer than the streets will be very soon. You might survive a little longer. I want you to watch it unfold, unable to do anything to stop it. And when you die, it will be the Master’s eyes you see last. SETRAKIAN Remember your old friend, Dreverhaven? Would you like to know why he isn’t here to share your glory with you? Because I cut him to pieces with that sword and dumped his parts in the North Sea. I’ll see that you’re reunited with him very soon. EICHHORST Until next time, A230385.

NORA Not till we know what we’re facing. BARNES We do know. SECRETARY PIERSON All right. Talk to you later. BARNES Let me introduce you to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Margaret Pierson. SECRETARY PIERSON Pleasure to meet you, Dr. Goodweather, Dr. Martinez. So, let me bring you both up to speed. These Regis Air documents point to a systems failure aboard Flight 753. So I’ve had the FAA ground the entire Regis Airline fleet until the NTSB completes its investigation. It’s not a CDC case anymore. The NTSB has the ball now. EPH With all due respect, Madam Secretary, these people didn’t die from a faulty air system. SECRETARY PIERSON They didn’t? EPH Everything in my investigation points to a virulent pathogen. We’re far from understanding exactly what did happen. But we need to shut down this airport so it doesn’t spread. BARNES Ephplease. SECRETARY PIERSON Dr. Goodweather, I appreciate your zeal. But you need to step back for a moment and consider the impact of a medical quarantine. It would immediately stop all exports from New York to the rest of the world. Do you want to crash a $70 billion economy and send the stock markets into a free fall on a hunch? BARNES Eph, I know you’ve been under a lot of stress in your personal lifeand that’s a big part of the cause but don’t bring your baggage EPH My personal life has nothing to do with this. It’s about saving people! It’s that simple! NORA Eph! Eph! EPH I’m sorry, Everett. I shouldn’t have done that. BARNES No, you shouldn’t have. Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to take a few days off. Then, once this all blows over, we are going to revisit your situation. But as of now, you are no longer involved. Go home. RECORDED WOMAN VOICE You’ve reached the office of the Chief Medical Examiner of New York City. No one is available to take your EPH I can’t reach Bennett. Or anybody. Why aren’t they picking up at the coroner’s office? NORA They’ve got 206 dead bodies. They’re probably a little busy. NEWS ANCHOR dozens of reports of the problems and in one NEWS ANCHOR reported the airline’s inspectors. NEWS ANCHOR When a Regis engineer, Jack EPH Captain Redfern? Thanks for agreeing to meet us. REDFERN You bet. My passengers and crew trusted me to get them to JFK safely. But I didn’t. I’d like to know why. NORA You look a little pale. REDFERN I’m okay. A bit of a headache. And there’s that humming in my ears. EPH We do have a nonmedical question for you. A large piece of cargo has gone missing from the plane. REDFERN The box. NORA You knew about the box? REDFERN I was doing my preflight walkaround on the plane. Four officials in suits show up in a government van with this huge crate. We’ve carried lastminute highsecurity cargo in the past. I didn’t think much of it. EPH This box, it was maybe nine foot by four foot? REDFERN Yes. EPH Do you know what government office? Do you know who they were? REDFERN They got down onto the tarmac to my plane, they had suits and badges. I figured it had to be official. Who am I to question this? But because I didn’t, 206 people are dead. EPH Other people are still in danger. You can help save them. Here’s what you can do: go to the emergency room at St. Sebastian’s. A Dr. William Lester will meet you there. REDFERN Who’s he? EPH He’s the best diagnostician I know. He’ll admit you as a private patient as a favor to me and run some tests. He’ll find out what’s causing that sound in your ears and your headaches. REDFERN Okay. REDFERN Unbelievable. Jumping through all these hoops because those bastards don’t want to face a quarantine. And the airline’s worried about their liabilitymy union is worried about theirs. Everyone’s first priority is covering their assesand no one gives a shit about the truth. EPH I do and you do, and that’s the best shot we’ve got right now. NORA Oh my god; its buccal cavity has serrated projections. EPH So it can latch onto or cut through tissue. I want to try something. NORA Make it quick. Before someone asks what the hell we’re doing here. EPH If these worms did infect the victims, then human blood should produce a tropic reaction. EPH Look at that. EPH It’s Zack. I’m supposed to stop by, talk about the custody hearing. NORA You better go, then. EPH No, this is important. He’ll understand. NORA He’ll understand he’s not as important as your work. Which is exactly what he hears from his mother every day. You want the judge to give Kelly full custody? EPH Of course not. NORA Take a moment. Redfern’s test results won’t come in for a couple of hours. I’ll finish this. EPH Thank you. EPH I’ll see you at the hospital. GERMAINE What are you doing in here? FET Vasiliy Fet. Inspector, City Pest Control. GERMAINE On a Sunday? No. You’re not doing an inspection now. There’s no timethis is our champagne brunch. Busiest service of the week. FET I’m sorry.

RUBY WAIN That was a $300,000 offer for a 30minute oncamera interview. BOLIVAR And you hang up? JOAN Whatever they’re offering, it’s gonna be chump change compared to what we’ll get from the airline. RUBY WAIN You know, this may go in the category of “too soon,” but ticket sales are way up. BOLIVAR That’s what I love about you, Ruby. Here’s to being alive. See, moments like this, as an artist, they make you take a step back and look at the big picture. JOAN There’s no answer to “why us.” It’s just random luck, but I’ll take it. BOLIVAR There’s that hum again. You hear it still, don’t you? JOAN It’s almost like an echo. Like an echo of a voice, maybe your own voice, when your ears and nose are stuffed. BOLIVAR It’s weird. RUBY WAIN Yeah, I’m not hearing it. But, Gabe, but if that voice has a tune, write it down. BOLIVAR That reminds me of my first acid trip. Hey, you ever done acid, Joan? JOAN No, no acid. Not my thing. BOLIVAR What is your thing? Like, you want to take this party someplace else? JOAN Like? BOLIVAR Townhouse above my new theater. Look, we could celebrate our escape from the abyss. JOAN No, I better get home and see my kids. And my husband. BOLIVAR Maybe another time? JOAN I’m going to be getting together our legal team at the firm tomorrow. We’ll talk soon, Gabe. BOLIVAR Ah, I need to get my pipes cleaned, Ruby. BOLIVAR Pick out a couple of hot ones. FET Everyone stop what they’re doing! No more food goes out of the kitchen. Right? As of right now, you start cleaning ... if you ever want this place to open up again. GERMAINE You can’t shut us down! Councilwoman Shankar eats here every Wednesday. FET Oh, yeah? Are you gonna serve her this? COOKS Ah! Jesus! FET Attention, everybody! By order of the Health department, this establishment is now closed. All right? So everyone must leave. Let’s go. FET Hey, honey! WOMAN FET Come on! Time to go! FET Byebye now! BOLIVAR I’m guessing we don’t have to pay. FITZWILLIAM Dr. Moise called with some good news, sir. The liver’s young and healthy. FITZWILLIAM It belongs to a laborer. No family. Won’t be missed. Moise would like to move ahead with the acquisition. PALMER I’m not sure I’ll need it anymore. FITZWILLIAM With all due respect, sir, if these other people can’t deliver what they’ve promised PALMER But they can, and they will. FITZWILLIAM Even so, you should have a backup. Keep in mind: it’s a fivehour flight to Bogota, minimum of eight hours to harvest the organ, and five more to return. Your liver functionality is already well below normal and it could fail at any time. If it does fail, it’ll be a challenge to keep you alive until we receive the replacement. PALMER All right. Fine. Do it. FITZWILLIAM Are you sure it’s wise to leave the building, sir? An infection would PALMER Would adversely affect my ability to withstand surgery. Yes, yes, yes. I’m going. There’s no debate. In fact, I’ve never felt more excited about a meeting in my entire life. EPH I agree, Nora: 101 degrees is not cause for alarm, but I don’t like that his temperature’s rising. EPH Fine. I’ll meet you back at the hospital by the time Redfern’s path report gets back. EPH Good. Talk soon. Sorry, it’s that airplane case. KELLY Yeah, I’ve been watching. But why are you involved? They say something was wrong with the plane. EPH Oh, that’s total bullshit. Nobody wants to deal with the truth. KELLY What is it? EPH I don’t know. Nothing’s adding up. KELLY That’s scary. EPH It is. KELLY Well, I’m glad you’re handling it. You know, that means whatever needs to be done will get done. EPH Thank you. KELLY Come in. Matt’s here. DIANE Hey Eph. EPH Hey. DIANE Diane. My name’s Diane. I’ve met you like five times. I drive your kid to school every other day. Can’t even remember my name? EPH I remember your name, Diane. I just drew a blank. DIANE Funny, I’ve never drawn a blank about you. Not once. Why is that, Eph? KELLY Diane. Zack’s just in the back helping Matt. EPH Do what? KELLY We’re converting your old office into a game room. ZACK Hey, Dad. EPH Hey, Zack. MATT How’s it going, Eph? EPH Okay. So you’re rebuilding this place, huh? MATT Yeah. Giantscreen TV over here. Perfect size for a room like this. Speakers here and here. Yeah, it’s gonna be a great new space for us. EPH Yeah, listen, I know this is awkward but I don’t want it to be. Um ... Just make her happyjust make them happythat’s all, that’s all I ask. MATT You got it. EPH Oh, oh, oh, okay. Great. Mind if I speak with my son? MATT No, no. Of course, of course. You know, in time, I bet you and I’ll become good friends. EPH Maybe. EPH Hey, Zack, Zack, Zack, I gotta go. ZACK Because of that plane. I know. EPH I wanted to talk about the custody hearing tomorrow. ZACK Okay. Just don’t be late. EPH I won’t. I won’t be. I mean it. ZACK ZACK So what about it? EPH Ah. Well, this is a weird situation, huh, for all of us? ZACK Mom says the judge will ask all kinds of questions. EPH Yeah, he will. Or she will. Whoever it is, yeah, they will. Have you thought about what you’re going to say? ZACK Mom says I should just say how I feel. EPH Absolutely. Just be honest. Just speak from your heart. ZACK What are you gonna say? EPH Me? Same thing. My feelings. I’m gonna say you’re the most important person in the world to me. Because you are. And that I want joint custody. ZACK What’s that? EPH That means that you get to spend as much time with me as you do with your mother. And I know that’s what you want, right? ZACK Yeah, but if you’re always so busy EPH No, I won’t be. Not after I put this case to bed. ZACK You always say that. And I know you mean it, but it’s never true. EPH Zack, Zack, Zack, look at me. This time it will be. RICHARD I didn’t think you were gonna show. Keeping commitments is EPH Is part of my recovery process. EPH Hi, my name’s Eph. I’m an alcoholic. OTHERS Hi, Eph. EPH I’ve been sober one year and eleven days. I’m in therapy, learning about myself. It’s a journey of discovery. Uh, I’m passiveaggressive and actively aggressive, which is a rare combination, I’m told. Let’s see, what else? I’m controlling. I’m selfcentered. I’m emotionally distant from my family. Oh, and the greatest sin of all: I love my work. Um, but I’m taking it all in. And I’m owning it. And it’s really making a difference. My wife’s divorcing me and screwing this new dude in my bed. In my house on which I’m still making payments. EPH EPH There I go again. Right, Richard? My sponsor says that I use sarcasm to avoid my real feelings. Said if I truly loved Kelly, I would be happy for her. I wouldn’t resent her. EPH EPH I’m trying, Richard. But it is a very steep hill. I saw them right before I came here. All three of them, together. Doing things I never had time to do. Still don’t have time to do ‘em. I wanted a drink. I passed a bar after I left there. But I came here. Because I can’t blow it with Zack. ‘Cause he is all that I have left. He’s my whole world. BOLIVAR Are you ready to party with me? SHERRY Yeah! BOLIVAR You smell beautiful.

BOLIVAR Bullshit. CLEO I’m bleeding. He bit me hard! BOLIVAR Get out! GET OUT! OUT! OUT! SHERRY You’re crazy! EPH What’s wrong? JIM Redfern just went into a tailspin. NORA Lester’s with him. Here’s the path report. I’ve never seen anything like it. EPH This is crazy: aberrant, foreign cells; nuclear pleomorphism. Biphenotypic appearance. It’s like something shanghaied his cellular machinery and is creating something totally different. DR LESTER We’ve sedated him for the pain, started fluidsbut ... EPH Antibody studies back in yet? DR LESTER No. EPH How you feeling, Doyle? REDFERN Boiling. Skin’s crawling. I feel like I swallowed a razor. EPH UV light. EPH Watch your eyes. EPH Scar, same place as the airline victims. Just healed so fast we couldn’t see it without UV light. NORA Eph, look! EPH Jim, find Barnes. Tell him that Redfern’s gone critical. JIM He’s gonna be really pissed when he finds out you’ve been treating him. EPH I don’t give a shit. Tell him that one of the survivors is very sick. Tell him we need to corral the rest of the survivors and anybody they’ve had contact with. Now! JIM Yes, sir. EPH Those autopsies should have turned something up by now. NORA Dr. Bennett’s still not answering. Went straight to voice mail again. EPH Well, if the mountain won’t come to Muhammad ... we’re going to the morgue. WOMAN Dr. Goodweather? This is Lori from the CDC Exchange. There is a Gary Arnot calling. EPH Yeah, okay. EPH Hello? GARY ARNOT Yes, Doctor. This is Gary Arnot. I’m Emma’s EPH I know who you are, Mr. Arnot. GARY ARNOT Well, first of all, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for what I did. And to thank you for sending my little girl home to me. EPH What? Are you saying someone released her body to you? GARY ARNOT No, not her body. Emma’s alive. She showed up on my doorstep this morning. EPH Um, Mr. Arnot, I’m a little confused. Are you’re telling me GARY ARNOT You don’t believe me? You know what? Fine! Whatever. EPH No, no, no, no. I’m just trying to get you to explain exactly GARY ARNOT My daughter’s home safe with me. That’s all that matters. Thank you very much. NORA Do you think it’s possible she’s alive? EPH He’s in shock. He’s seeing ghosts. I examined her in her seat. She’s dead. NORA When we boarded that plane, everybody looked dead. Then four of them woke up. Could these worms somehow induce some sort of state of hibernationlike tsetse flies? EPH Well, we’ll find out in 10 minutes. If she’s dead, she’ll be at the morgue. FITZWILLIAM Sir, I know you don’t want to hear this. I’ve been with you a long time and I’ve listened to a lot of doctors promise you a lot of things. I’ve seen what can be done and what can’t. These people? They are deceiving you. PALMER These people have power beyond anything you can imagine. In time, you also will benefit from that power. Now, stay with the car. I need to do this alone. EICHHORST The sun has fallen. EICHHORST You are very fortunate, Mr. Palmer. He has chosen you to bear witness to his glory. PALMER Welcome to the New World. THE MASTER You brought me all the way here. Aren’t you going to look at me? THE MASTER EPH Hello? Anybody here? EPH Dr. Bennett? Dr. Bennett, you okay? EPH Hello?
