Containment (2016): Season 1, Episode 9 - A Kingdom Divided Against Itself - full transcript

The eyes of the world are on us.

Once that virus is out, it is out.

There's a child.

I don't get sick.

Thomas's cells contain
the blueprint for a cure.

I need you to help me
sneak him out of the Cordon.

If this is just a moment in time,

I just want you to know
I'm still glad I met you.

There's no version of my life

that doesn't have you in it.

We have to find a way out of the Cordon.



I think we're being lied to.

I saw two bodies...

they were both dead before Patient Zero.

Surveillance footage from
the day the outbreak started.

Henry Burns.

He's the real Patient Zero.

A biohazard package was
delivered to Burns from the CDC.

But guess who paid for
it. Dr. Victor Cannerts.

I was wrong. Thomas is
an asymptomatic carrier.

If Thomas leaves the Cordon,
the virus leaves with him!

Miss Katie!

You need to take him back!

They're letting people out!

You'll be quarantined here for 48 hours.



Get out of my way.

I didn't even touch him.

I did.

_

_

We know you're in there!

This location was a bad idea!

It would have been fine

if things had gone to plan.

Lose your gloves.

You touched him, with your gloves.

Thought this thing was only
transmitted through fluids.

You cage us like animals
and leave us out here to die!

- Open up!
- Today...

We're getting out!

Your job was to find a spot

where they would not
see us taking the child.

And they didn't!

We weren't supposed to
send him back in there!

Dr. Cannerts assured me that
Thomas was not infectious,

that his body had eradicated the virus,

that he was the blueprint to the cure.

The only mistake I
made was trusting him.

What's happening out there?

They're leaving.

Why?

My guess is to get more people.

I must declare the virus
as highly contagious

and fatal in 100% of its victims.

I recommend we institute

a cordon sanitaire to contain
the spread of the virus.

What I need is the truth.

We are in the middle
of the damn hot zone.

- Jana!
- If we let anyone out,

we're risking the lives
of everyone in this city.

Don't worry, Miss Katie.

I'm okay.

Now I get to stay with you.

You're amazing, Thomas.

Do you still think I have superpowers?

People seem kind of... scared of me now.

Are you kidding?

Your powers just got stronger.

Everyone here has more
hope knowing you're with us.

Thanks, Miss Katie.

Do you think Quentin
wants to play cards?

I'm sure he does.

I'll ask him.

Hey.

You're as tough as they come, bud.

Huh?

Oh, wow.

Hey. You okay?

I don't like this.

Cannerts has been lying
to us since day one.

I don't like leaving Thomas in his care.

- That boy should be with me.
- Yeah, yeah, you're right.

He should be, okay? But
that is not an option.

Look, Cannerts wants to see the
antidote just as bad as the rest of us.

- So now you trust him all of a sudden?
- No, no, of course not.

Okay, but right now, he's the
best chance any of us have got.

Hi, Bert.

Everything all right?

Dr. Cannerts asked me to come
by and check on Thomas for him.

Why didn't he come himself?

The doctor has quarantined
himself in his lab,

because of how close
he worked with the boy.

He'll be fine.

We're still in good hands.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right.

You two need to smile more.

You look good together.

I met my Michi

during dark times as well.

But we made a point
to try to change that.

Spread a little sunshine.

She sounds wonderful.

And then some.

I'll go check on the boy
so I can get back to her.

Got to get some medicine to her.

She okay?

Got a cut on her leg.
I'll take good care of her.

You two...

spread that sunshine.

Yeah, thanks. We will.

_

Teresa?

Xander?

Maybe they got smart
and got out of here.

Awesome. Just the way we left it.

Only now it smells like meth.

If this is gonna be home,
we better get cleaning.

Ya think?

Easy, Suzy.

Maybe Dennis was right to ditch us.

I'm not sure I can make it.

One step at a time.

Our girl deserves a clean home

to welcome her into this world.

And your grandparents
will be happy to see you.

It's like a bowling ball in my spine.

She's gonna be a tough one.

Hardheaded, just like her daddy.

More like thick-skulled.

Right now this thick skull

is set on getting you
to your grandma's, so...

keep those feet moving.

I hate you so much.

Yeah, I know you do.

Come on.

But he's not sick, right?

No, Mary, Thomas is fine.

He... he just needs to stay
in his own room from now on.

They've been yanking our
chain this whole time.

There's no reason these
kids should be in here.

If they're not sick,
they should go home.

Hey, Ray, will you try
to stay positive on this?

Hey, you know what I think
Thomas would love, guys?

His freedom?

A game.

- Yeah?
- Oh, what a great idea.

Why don't you guys go
make him a new board game?

He would definitely like that. Come on.

Masks, please.

Ray, could you keep an eye on them?

Nice work.

Well, just spreading sunshine.

Hey, uh...

so I was thinking about
that date we were planning.

Seemed a lot more fun to talk about it

when we thought we might
be getting out of here.

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm
willing to wait for that.

Normally, I'd push for,
uh, you know, dinner,

large amounts of alcohol,

but you seem to be
breaking all my rules,

so how about lunch?

Lunch?

Yeah, isn't that something
girls do for, like, a first date?

To see if they're interested in a guy?

Yeah. But that generally happens

well before they shower together.

Well, we can skip to that
part again, if you want.

- I mean, it was...
- No, no, no, no.

I like this new you. Very respectable.

I could do lunch.

Great.

Hi, this is Lex.

You know what to do.

Lex, this is not a good
time to go radio-silent.

This lab journal links
Cannerts to the virus,

but I can't do anything with it.

What I need is proof that Patient Zero

called Cannerts when he
realized he was infected.

I have got to have
those phone records, man.

They're gonna show that Cannerts
knew exactly when and how

this virus got out.

All right? Don't make
me do this without you.

There's still no sign of them.

Oh, they're out there.

Anger like that won't die down easy.

A demonstration is the worst thing

that could happen in there.

We cut them off from the world.

Told them things would get better

when they were only getting worse.

You can only lock
people up and lie to them

for so long before they revolt.

And that would be suicide.

We can't let that happen.

So you got a plan to stop it?

Stand back, please.

I need to speak to Captain Scott.

Food and water for two days.

Empty the bucket, use it for waste.

There were people
outside this container.

We're aware. They've moved on.

Moved on how? Have they dispersed?

They're protesting in the street.

We'll keep an eye on them.

How many are there?

Stay hydrated.

I need a line to Captain Scott...

his people are gathering
close together, and any of them

are infected, the virus
will spread like wildfire.

I'll relay the message.

- We want out!
- Let us out of here!

We want out! We want out!

Come on!

I'm not saying it's not a pretty name.

It's just...

You know what?

Maybe it'll grow on me.

Stay right here.

We want out! We want out!

Those people are marching
way too close together.

That's the way to my grandma's.

Come on. We don't want to go

anywhere near that madness.

No, we'll wait it out.

You know, let it die down.

Okay.

Tell baby Caitlin to hang tough.

Mm. Yeah, when I hear you say
it, I kind of hate it, too.

Yeah. We'll find her a name.

I promise.

_

Mom, have you seen my cards?

Check under your cot, baby.

Thanks.

I think it looks prettier down.

Oh, do you?

Who says I'm trying to look prettier?

Maybe I want to look smart

or kind or funny.

You like him, don't you?

Maybe.

Do you?

He says we're going to a Hawks
game when we get out of here.

Just the two of you,
or... am I allowed to come?

I guess you could come.

We'll make it, like,
a family thing almost.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

Go have fun.

Your hair is fine.

Either way, you look pretty.

No disinfectant, no
bleach, no fresh gloves.

How long does it take
to hunt down a walkie?

Maybe if you pace faster,
it'll speed things up.

What is your issue with me, Major?

I have given you

nothing but opportunities.

To do what, exactly?

Be your puppet?

To smile and lie for you?

Information needs to
be managed in a crisis.

I thought you understood that.

Oh, I do.

But you're managing what
you tell me just as much.

When have I ever been
less than honest with you?

You can start with the
day you showed up here

saying this would all
be over before it began.

- Truth is, you knew better from day one.
- Did I?

There is no way these shipping
containers show up here so fast

unless you ordered them
before you even got on a plane.

And what about the cell
towers that were prepped

to go dark on your command?

Those are not steps you take in a crisis

you plan to be over in 48 hours.

You're right.

I had the containers
and the phone companies

on hold from day one.

What are you accusing
me of, being prepared?

I'm accusing you of knowing
more than you let on.

What really happened
when that virus broke out?

What is it that you
don't want to tell me?

The enemies I fight, Lex,

don't give a rat's ass about humanity.

A virus doesn't care about
politics or race or emotion.

The truth is, I had no idea

where this outbreak was going.

But I made damn sure I
was prepared to stop it.

Next time, that's what
you say on day one.

This would go a lot faster
if there was three of us.

She just needs space.

She's pretty broken up
about Dennis leaving.

Yeah, I kind of picked up on that.

I'll go talk to her.

All right, I'll take this stuff down,

hit the supply room
for some disinfectant.

Suze?

Hey, Suzy?

Suzy?

Suzy?

Hey, you got a small cheese here?

Yeah, just throw it on
the table anywhere, please.

Would you mind if I
borrow your work phone?

- My work phone?
- Yeah, your boss gives you a phone

so his business pops up on a customer's

caller ID when you
call. May I borrow it?

- What's wrong with yours?
- Oh, it died.

It's a long story.

No, no, no, you keep the change.

Just let me use your phone.

Just make it quick.

This is Nancy.

Hi, Nancy, this is... Chip

with Cheesy Pies.

I have a delivery for 1132 Bay.

Uh, no. I-I'm sorry. The wrong number.

Uh, I don't think it is, Nancy.

I have a custom pie here,
which is not something

you want to let go to waste.

I didn't order a pizza
and I don't want a pizza.

Trust me, you want this one. 15 minutes.

Thank you.

We want out! We want out!

It's getting worse.

We can either turn back or
we can go for it right now.

I'm not turning back.

All right, don't stop moving.
Slow and steady. Come on.

Okay.

Mom?

- Mom!
- Easy, Tee, that wasn't your mom.

- Yes, it is!
- It's a long block.

You probably didn't get a good look!

- That's my mom, Xander!
- All right!

I made her that jacket!

- Okay...
- Mom!

- All right!
- Can you stop her, please?

- Even if she's sick, I need to see her.
- Tee.

Tee, it's been almost four days.

You know what, all
right. Here, hold this.

Don't stop moving, all
right? I'll find you.

Just... keep your distance.

Anyway, picnic?

Absolutely.

You look nice.

Actually, I'm a little...

Please do that.

So, what's on the menu?

Oh, well, we have a,

there might be some astronaut ice cream.

There might be.

You really spared no expense.

A little.

Hmm?

I never play for anyone except Quentin.

Please.

Fine, but you cannot laugh.

Wouldn't dream of it.

He took them. Ray took Mary and Britney.

He tried taking me, too,

but I wouldn't go.

What?

He said people are breaking out.

Did you see where they went?

No.

Come on, bud.

I swear you look more
beautiful every time I see you.

Can it. This better be
end-of-days important, Leo.

You know better than to call me at work.

No, that was a legit pizza phone.

You got nothing to worry about.

So I assume you heard
about Melinda and Allie.

You posted images of their
bodies on the Internet.

And that's exactly what
they would have wanted.

You're probably right.

Once again, I'm the minority voice.

Why am I here?

Because I'm about to
find out why they died.

This virus

was created by a doctor at the CDC.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

No, I have proof. I
have hard, factual proof

that this doctor was
working with this virus...

- Leo...
- prior to the outbreak.

I work for the NSA.

Do you have any idea how many resources

we have devoted to
finding the cause of this?

You're looking in the wrong places.

But you've cracked it single-handed.

Look, all I need is a phone record.

Maybe the transcript of a call.

Oh, is that all?

So I just need to abuse my NSA access

and commit a federal crime. Perfect.

Just hear me out, please.

The call was made by Patient Zero...

The real Patient Zero... the
moment he realized he was sick.

Now, I have footage of all this.

Whoever he spoke to
made him dump his I.D.,

his phone, everything.

Then he put himself in isolation
and tried to remain anonymous.

That's his name and the time

he made the call from his phone.

Why should I risk
everything I have for this?

It won't bring them back.

- Won't save any lives.
- No, it won't.

But our friends died
searching for the truth,

and you're just a few
keystrokes away from finding it.

You really want to deny them that?

We want out! We want out!

Leanne!

Leanne!

Hey, hey, help me, man. Please.

Help...

You're welcome.

Give me your stuff!

Oh. Oh.

You want to go find your girl?

Now's your chance.

No one in, no one out, Dr. Lommers.

She must be very special.

She is.

Smart.

Smart like you wouldn't believe.

And driven.

Beautiful.

Met her at a bar,

if you can believe that.

My buddy Jake's birthday.

She threw an elbow at
this guy who tried to do

a body shot off her neck.

Bastard tried to press charges.

Yeah.

Well...

my husband and I...

met in graduate school.

He was...

Captain Scott is on for you.

Captain.

We have a situation.

The group of protestors is growing.

We're concerned they may
attack one of our sluices.

If there's enough of them,

they'll pull the doors right off.

We can't allow that.

Understood.

We positioned a food supply
in front of each sluice

aimed to dissipate their intent.

You need to be positioning snipers.

It's not the National Guard's practice

to fire upon unarmed Americans.

Captain, if you let this virus out,

there won't be any Americans left.

Yeah, I'll take that under advisement.

Over and out.

Anything?

I checked every floor;
there's no sign of her.

She wouldn't just run away, would she?

Wouldn't be the first time.

Where the hell were you?

On the roof.

Why? Is that a problem?

When you don't tell anyone, yes.

Well, you guys were busy playing house.

I figured you wouldn't care.

Wouldn't care? Suzy,

- I have been a wreck searching for you.
- Whatever!

Okay, so there's a prison
break going on out there.

People are busting out.

I say we join them.

What are you talking about?

Protestors, hundreds of them.

I saw it from the roof.

They're gonna break
through the barricade.

Suzy, that's insane.

This whole thing is insane, Jana.

Well, you guys can stay
here and rot if you want,

but I'm getting out.

Hey, get me out of here!

We want out! We want out!

This isn't good.

I don't see them.

Let's get out of here!

Come on.

What's wrong?

My uniform.

I'm a moving target in this thing.

Here. I'll ditch the
gear and circle back.

Just tuck in here. I'll be right back.

Remember when you were a kid,

and you thought that the
grown-ups knew everything,

and the president was the
smartest man on the planet?

And you were going to be an astronaut.

I was gonna be the president.

Yeah.

And then the older you get,

the more you realize how rare it is

that someone who deserves to be making

the important decisions is
actually in power to do so.

And that if you want to be

one of them...

you better be tough as nails.

Oh, I'd say you got that covered.

If that were true, I wouldn't
be sitting in this box,

terrified that we're both gonna die.

This is Lommers.

They're at the sluice.

Food didn't work.

They're prying at the hinges.

Position snipers.

Use tear gas and water cannons first,

snipers if there's any risk of a breach.

Negative.

Captain, a breach cannot happen.

And it won't.

I'm sending in a unit
to subdue the crowd.

Negative. Captain, that is a negative.

Under no circumstances
are you to send in troops.

We have no tear gas or
water cannons on site,

and I'm not using snipers.

My men are going in.

Captain, you will sentence
your men to die in there.

Do not do this.

My men are not the APD, Major.

They're trained for this.

People need reassurance.

They need to see boots on the ground.

Trust me, this is what we do.

Captain, this is a different situation.

You are dealing with an active virus.

Captain, I am forbidding
you from sending in your men.

I've got the governor's approval.

I don't need your permission.

Keep it moving!

I said, go! Keep it moving!

Face masks

down at all times!

Avoid physical contact!

- Captain Scott...
- Understood, sir.

Do not fire unless in self-defense.

Captain Scott.

Let's move.

He turned it off.

I've managed more than
20 epidemics in my career.

And this is the one I lose to?

Do you know what happens to
a virus when its host dies?

The virus dies with it.

Doesn't serve the virus to
kill its host so quickly.

It's suicide.

A smart virus keeps its host alive.

Hepatitis,

polio, HIV.

Beautiful, evolved viruses.

This virus?

It isn't smart

or elegant.

It's just brutal and short-sighted,

- and it doesn't deserve to win.
- And it won't.

Sending those men in may be a
mistake, but that's not on you.

Sabine,

whatever happens, you will fix it.

No matter what we face,

when we get out of here,
this will still be your fight

to fight.

'Cause those people inside the Cordon...

They're gonna need you.

If I didn't know better,

I'd think you were finally on my side.

Up! Pull it hard!

Open up and pull it hard!

Meese?

- What the hell are you doing?
- Surviving.

I need your help. I'm looking for

- a guy with two 11-year-old girls.
- Are you serious? What?

- You still playing cop?
- Come on, Meese, let's go!

Yeah, I'm still playing cop.

You're running with these guys now?

Hey, don't guilt me.
At the end of the day,

I'm gonna live through this.

You know what happens to heroes.

They die, Jake!

- You're not going out there.
- Yeah, we'll see.

Do you really think those
people stand a chance?

Huh? Do you think the government

will actually let them break free?

They'll kill every one of us
before they let that happen.

Gee, your boyfriend's really
fighting for the good guys, isn't he?

Don't you dare make this about Lex.

Or me, or even about
being locked up in here.

This is about Dennis, nothing else.

So whatever he did or
said is not my fault.

Now, I have seen you through
a lot over the years, Suzy,

but this Dennis thing...
this is small-time.

I'm sorry that he left,
but that is what happens

when you sleep with married men.

They leave, and you knew
that, so get over it.

I think I'm pregnant.

Ray!

Ray!

Britney's under my care.

If I decide to get out of
here, we're gonna get a...

Listen, no one's getting
out. No one's getting out.

Where's Mary?

What?

We had to leave her.

Leave her where? Why?

She got sick.

What, you mean like sick sick?

We want out! We want out!

Beat him down! Come on!

Mary?

Mary!

Mary!

Mary.

Mary, wake up.

Tee?!

Tee?!

Katie?!

C Company, you have a confirmed go.

Keep your visors down at all times.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

We want out! We want out!

Katie?!

You need to trust us.

Let us out!

We're trying to help!

Help me!

Give me that!

I need help!

- Hey, it's me!
- Xander, thank God!

- Are you okay?
- I got knocked down. They weren't sick.

- I just can't get up. Help me.
- I can't, Tee.

I bumped into someone.
I might be infected.

What did you...? Did
you... did you touch them?

I don't know. I mean, it's crazy.

I found the one lady in the
jacket; it wasn't your mom.

Xander, that sick person...
did you touched it?

I don't know.

Get away from the girl!

Not a step further, sir!

Sir! Sir!

Don't!

- Back! Fall back!
- Get off me!

Fall back!

- Fall back!
- Inside! Inside!

Please, take me with you. I'm not sick.

I'm sorry. We were only trying to help.

The first crisis I worked was in Ghana.

Some tropical bug

was dotting the
countryside with corpses.

My mentor at the time was a British man,

Dr. Hughes.

Smart.

Handsome.

Nothing like that.

He was much older than me.

He knew everything.

He was three steps ahead
of the virus at every turn.

I wanted to be like him.

Then he got sick.

He was dead within a week.

Sorry to hear that.

I knew in my line of work
there were inherent risks,

but somehow I thought
that a man like that

would be above them.

Even the best cops get shot.

Unfortunately, in this
case, it was his own fault.

He'd grown close to one of the patients,

held the man's hand when he was dying.

He was... lost in the moment,

didn't see the tear in his glove.

It was his compassion that killed him.

Somebody, please, help me!

Help me!

Katie!

Oh, God.

I couldn't save her.

No.

I tried.

I tried to save her.

Put her down.

Katie, put her down.

She's dead.

Put her down.

Put her down.

Please, just put her down.

Was she...?

A-Am I?

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.

Come on.

- _
- How long have you known?

You took a test, right?

My body's like clockwork.

I don't need a test.

In case you hadn't noticed,
there's been a lot going on.

Yeah, exactly. Maybe it's just stress.

You sound like Dennis now.

You told him?

Last night in the church.

We were talking and...

Anyway, I said that I
hadn't thought much about

whether or not I would keep it or not,

but that if we got stuck
in here for much longer,

then I wouldn't really have a choice.

And he got upset that I
hadn't told him sooner and...

then we didn't really
talk much after that.

And you think that's why he left?

Wow.

I knew Dennis was a douche, but...

wow.

I know how to pick 'em, huh?

Look, first things first.

I'll go get a test.

There's a shop around the corner.

I mean, I'm sure it's been looted,

but I'm guessing pregnancy
tests aren't in high demand.

No, I-I don't want you going out.

The riot's over.

Plus, maybe I can get
a few extra supplies.

What would I do without you, Jana?

Lead a life of isolation and misery?

Yes.

Yeah.

Hey, hey! Four to six feet.

_

We're waiting on a casualty report.

Estimates don't look good.

Is there still the threat of a breach?

No, ma'am, the crowd is subdued.

How did you manage it?

We put snipers on the containers.

And the men you sent in?

We have them in isolation.

Hoping for the best.

Notify their families.

They deserve to see
them before they die.

What?

I should've been more sensitive...

to his feelings?

Well, you said it, not me.

Well, you know, two weeks ago,

I was in a beach house in Nantucket

on a vacation I planned with my husband

for over a year, just to catch up.

I love Nantucket.

Coming here was the last
thing I wanted to do,

and now I'm stuck in this box

wondering if this fight will be my last.

This virus doesn't care.

So neither can I.

It doesn't make any sense.

I'm sorry that the
conspiracies in your head

don't align with reality.

You asked for Henry Burns's
phone records... there they are.

Nothing with Victor Cannerts?

Not in the past six weeks.

Not to his office, cell or home.

Why would Burns call a burner phone?

He didn't.

That "Anonymous" you
see instead of a number

doesn't mean burner.

We can pull the digits off
a disposable, no problem.

The phone your Patient Zero
called was a protected line.

Those are for, like,
top level brass, right?

Like, uh, situation room people.

Almost no one has them.

I was lucky to lock down its location

at the time of the call.

I am toast if I get caught for this.

So, what do you think, maybe
one of Cannerts' colleagues?

Someone high up at the CDC?

Who knows?

But you're on your own now.

I'm not pulling travel records

for every official
at the CDC just to see

if any of them were in
Nantucket two weeks ago.

What's in Nantucket?

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Hey.

Thank you for this.

I didn't do it for you.

I did it for Mel and Allie.

Good luck, Leo.

Thanks.

It'll be like a sled.

I can pull you and sing Christmas songs.

You can't sing.

What?

Oh, you don't know.
You are getting caroled.

All day.

Xander!

Jana.

I thought you were breaking free.

Yeah, that didn't work out so well.

Wh... Are you okay?

Uh, fine. It only hurts when I move.

What are you doing out here?

We're heading to her grandma's.

And you've made it how far?

Come on, you're gonna come back with me.

I'm not leaving you out here.

_

Some first date, huh?

We don't know she was sick.

Ray's as paranoid as they come.

I mean, I don't trust
anything that guy says.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure you're right.

You want me to go get Quentin?

You ready to see him?

Yeah.

Hey. Hey.

You're gonna be fine.

Yeah.
