Helix (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 3 - 274 - full transcript

Julia: Previously on
helix...
Why did peter
attack this man?
And why is the pathogen
making him stronger?
Doreen: Pending necropsy,
I believe we may have found
the source of the contagion.
Sarah: This mutation
only occurs in a fraction
of the samples.
It's minimal, but it's
statistically relevant.
But what's it doing to him?
Open the door.
No.
(groaning)
Come on! Now!
People have to know
what's going on up here!
(stabbing)
(gasps)
Peter.
(water dripping)
(gasping)
It's all right.
Alan?
It's all right. Relax.
(grunting)
(breathing heavily)
What happened?
You tell me.
I found you here
passed out.
What do you remember?
Uh, I was, uh...
I... I was, uh,
taking a shower.
Decontamination procedures.
And...And...
(growling)
Uh...
Um...
I, uh...
I...
Jules.
I just felt lightheaded.
I don't remember...
I don't remember
what happened next.
I guess I, um...
I didn't realize
how exhausted I am.
Well, we've...All been
pushing really hard.
You need to get
a few hours' sleep.
Yeah.
I need you 100%
for this one.
Okay, good idea.
I'll walk you back
to your quarters.
With peter
roaming around out there,
it's not safe to go alone.
I'll give you a moment.
(metallic clattering nearby)
(metallic clattering)
(squishy sound)
Hello?
Anybody in here?
(squishy sound)
(gasping)
(grunting)
(softly) help!
Help...Me.
(growling)
(theme music playing)
(breathing heavily)
Doreen: Please report to me
immediately if you see
any skin lesions,
Flu-like symptoms,
or black mucus discharge.
Should we not be taking
antivirals? Like...
Oseltamivir?
That's for h1n1 influenza.
We've ruled that out
as a cause of infection.
What is it then?
(all exclaiming)
It's all right.
Taking the wrong meds
can do more harm
than no meds at all.
We're working
around the clock
on a treatment,
And when we find it,
we'll attack the virus
aggressively.
(people murmuring)
Now, they are scared,
I get that.
But sometimes I just
want to yell at 'em,
you know?
We're not the enemy here.
Security teams are doing
constant sweeps.
Still no sign of
our three escapees
or peter farragut.
And another attack
has been reported
on level g.
Two more possibly infected.
They're being moved
to isolation.
(sighing)
We've been in lockdown
for 32 hours.
People are panicking.
If something
doesn't change,
We risk losing control
of the base.
Where is julia walker?
I... I'm not sure.
Do you want
to speak to her?
That won't be necessary.
(metal rattling)
Dr. Farragut.
What are you doing?
Getting my brother
into containment.
Why didn't you inform us?
Because I presumed
the man you had following me
would tip you off.
Alan: I want a full workup.
Lft, cbc
with differential coags,
Viral screen,
and all available
antigen-antibody assays.
My security teams
couldn't wrangle him.
How did you manage it?
He turned himself in.
Hatake:
What is peter's status?
Stable for now.
I meant the status
of his sedation.
We don't want
another security incident.
That's unlikely.
As unlikely as
cutting off a man's hand
to access his rfid chip?
Peter gave himself up,
no fight, no struggle.
Why would he do that
if he were planning
to escape?
That's what
we thought the last time
we put him in isolation.
He appears to be
controllable on morphine.
I've hooked him up
to a pain pump.
He shouldn't be
a danger to anyone.
I'm not willing
to take that chance.
Neither am I.
Is there somewhere
more secure
we can hold him?
This floor was phase one
of arctic biosystems.
As the company grew,
so did the facility.
Level r contains
our early labs
and living quarters,
Along with maintenance
for the entire base.
The co2 oxygen scrubbers,
The heating systems,
equipment storage,
Though most of the lab work
has moved upstairs.
(woman over pa)
Now we use this level
for sensitive and
hazardous research.
One of the empty labs
should provide the security
you're looking for.
The ventilation system
in this room
Is separate from
the rest of the facility.
The walls are concrete,
three feet thick,
And the door is
double-plated steel.
Nothing is getting in or out.
What kind of research
were you conducting
with nuclear reactors?
I spent time
at sandia labs.
The burn patterns
on these walls
are virtually identical.
Controlled fusion,
a project we abandoned.
When was the last
radiation screen
down here?
Daniel: We test
every six months,
And the lab has been empty
for about five years.
So it's safe?
Perfectly.
More than qualified
to be an isolation unit
for peter.
For everyone else
as well.
There are empty rooms
on this level,
plenty of space,
And this secure lab
allows us
To separate vectors
from those who are
just infected.
Vectors?
It's what we're calling
the infected who are
Physically attacking others
to spread the disease,
like peter.
I think we can achieve
full containment down here.
Well, what are you saying?
I'm saying we turn level r
into an isolation floor.
(water dripping)
(breathing hard)
(gasping)
(groaning)
(yelling)
(choking)
(breathing hard)
Get it together, jules.
You don't...Get...Sick.
(woman announcing over pa)
All right, we have 18 sick
in isolation, including peter.
With three on the loose
and two presumed infected,
that's 23.
That we know of.
I want to move them
all down to level r.
I'll need medical equipment.
Turn one of the labs
into a triage unit.
I'll need food, water,
bedding, for 40 patients.
This thing will get bigger
before we achieve full
containment.
I think we can
accommodate that.
Help me. Help me.
Hatake: Stay where you are.
I'm sorry I ran.
They made me do it.
We can help.
They made me!
You need to stop.
Believe me.
They made me...
(gunshot)
(gasping)
Bring a gurney.
And find dr. Chaplin.
No! There's no time.
She's going into shock.
Find me a scalpel
and something
to pack into the wound.
(sulemani grunting)
Stay with me now.
You'll be okay.
Hurry up!
All right,
I feel the bullet.
Here, pinch off this vein.
Pinch off this vein!
Yes. More pressure.
Right there.
I have it, I have it.
Good.
(groaning)
You're gonna
be fine now.
She should be
stable enough to move.
We take her
down to the fusion lab.
Thanks to your
quick thinking.
My quick thinking
shouldn't have been
necessary in the first place.
All right. Come on.
(shouting) come on!
She was unarmed
and asking for our help.
I was only trying
to protect dr. Hatake.
She wasn't threatening him,
she was scared.
The situation
was escalating.
It didn't escalate
until you panicked
And almost murdered
an infected patient!
I set the rules
on this base.
There are no countries here,
no laws.
Dr. Sulemani's life
is my responsibility,
not daniel's.
As senior scientist
on this case,
Every patient's life
is my responsibility.
You tell
your security people
That this is the last time
lethal force is to be used
on one of my patients!
I can't guarantee that.
You tell them!
Or I'll pull my team,
And we can do this again
in six months' time
as a postmortem!
(machines beeping)
What did you
do to me, peter?
What did you do?
(muttering inc0herently)
(knocking on glass)
(gasps)
Alan: We seal off
the stairwells,
Use the elevator
for an airlock,
And once we control
access to the floor,
We should have
a viable isolation unit.
So, healthy people
come upstairs,
sick people go down.
It might work.
But if people aren't
showing symptoms yet,
How do we know
who's infected?
We'll need a test,
something that
we can administer quickly.
A rapid-response test
would be the fastest.
But first
we need to synthesize
a pure sample of the virus.
Both viruses.
What about those vials
you found in peter's lab?
Neither narvik-a nor b
show up as a pathogen
in any existing database.
Narvik-b is the strain
that created the vectors
in the rat population, right?
How long to synthesize
a test based
on that variant?
Eight hours at least
for something functional.
Well, you have four.
Work with jordan.
Tell me more about
this infected monkey.
I think the virus
inside the monkey
is the key.
I'm sequencing
the full genome now.
If we can prove that
the infection passed
from monkey to human...
It gets us one step closer
to the original strain.
And the best shot
we have at a vaccine.
All right,
get started on it.
I'll go with her,
can't be too careful
right now.
Thanks, but I can
take care of myself.
Doreen, take him
with you.
All right, everybody,
the com link window
Goes live in six hours
and 42 minutes.
If we have this data
to upload to atlanta,
We might just get
on top of this thing.
Let's get to work.
Alan: And 20 bags...
Make that 30 bags
of saline drip.
Daniel:
Our base doctor's
seen dr. Sulemani.
She's gonna make it.
Well, have him keep her
on a propofol infusion.
I didn't panic
with sulemani.
She was infected
with a lethal virus
and coming at dr. Hatake.
I assessed the options
and I pulled the trigger.
We shoot everyone
who's infected?
Is that it?
Eliminate the threat?
If necessary.
And those
who might be infected?
Do we kill them too?
The only reason
you didn't fire
that shot
Is because the gun
wasn't in your hands.
(woman over pa)
Another false positive.
Me too.
I've gone through all
of the atypical enzymes.
You started with atypicals?
Their catalyzation rate
is too low.
I read a study
that linked the use
of atypical enzymes
To certain
viral antibodies.
You have to start wide
and narrow down.
That's why I assigned you
ec-1 enzymes...
Ec-1 catalyzes
with everything,
which tells us nothing,
And we don't have time
to go through a thousand
different enzymes.
If we're gonna come up
with a test in less
than three hours...
Sarah.
What?
What's wrong
with your hand?
Are you okay?
Are you feeling
any symptoms?
I've been up
for three days straight.
I'm probably
just exhausted.
We're out of
peter's blood serum.
I should go get
some more samples.
No, I'll do it.
If you find the virus
did come from the monkeys,
Will that help you
figure out a cure?
"curing" a virus is
a relative term.
We need a treatment
to help the infected folks
get better,
And a vaccine
to prevent anyone else
from getting infected.
That sick monkey
is just the first step
down a long road...
Doreen: Where the hell
is my monkey?
What's that smell?
Formaldehyde.
Whoever did this
wanted to kill any
living organism left behind.
They didn't want me
analyzing the samples
from that monkey.
It reeks.
Reeks all right.
Reeks of hatake.
What are you gonna do?
Walk into his office
and demand answers?
Why not?
Because you know
how that conversation's
gonna go.
He's gonna say
it was biosafety protocol,
or scheduled maintenance.
I knew this
full-bird colonel,
just like hatake.
Real stickler.
You had to find creative ways
to get things done.
What'd you have in mind?
What if I could get you
another monkey sample?
(monitor beeping)
(sighs)
(chuckles)
What are you doing here?
Three days ago,
we were moving on
with our lives,
And now this?
Seeing you,
it all comes flooding back.
How unhappy I was
with alan,
How I couldn't
even recognize...
...Who I was
with him anymore.
But instead of
acknowledging it,
I didn't say anything,
I just...Swallowed it,
all of it,
Until it filled me up,
and I was drowning in it.
And then you.
(exhaling)
I thought I could
handle this.
Doreen: Never seen
anything like this.
Look at their faces!
Balleseros: I know.
It's pretty damn scary.
No, not scary, scared.
These monkeys were running
for their lives.
Running from what?
How'd you find this place,
anyway?
I was just checking
the stability of the icepack
around the base.
Horseshit.
Who the hell are you?
I'm just an army engineer,
like I said.
You want to work together?
I got no problem with that.
But you have got to start
telling me the truth.
I am!
Ha.
There are people
in the army,
Myself included,
who are wondering
If this outbreak
was an accident.
You think hatake
did this on purpose?
Why would he do that?
Why don't you come
help me find out?
(monitor beeping)
I want 24-hour guards
on this door until we
get full containment.
Base one, go ahead.
(radio chatter)
They found
one of the escapees
on this level.
(door opens)
What are you
so happy about?
Nothing.
I just cracked the test.
You figured it out?
Which enzyme catalyzed?
None of them.
After you left,
I remembered another study.
It utilizes the
body's natural way of
detecting foreign pathogens.
White blood cells, yes.
Get to the point.
So it modified the white
blood cells with genes
From a crystal jellyfish,
aequorea victoria,
To create
a rapid-response test.
The jellyfish genes produce
a fluorescent green protein.
You replicated this?
I swabbed
three security techs
for control samples.
All clear.
Then I ran the test
on known infectees,
Peter, dr. Tracey,
and dr. Deklerk.
All green,
positive for infection.
Show me again.
Use yourself as a control.
Why does that matter?
Look, if you want
to see it in action,
I can take a swab
from you right now.
Okay. Test me.
I don't know why we're
wasting our time with this.
We need to tell alan.
(loud banging)
Come on, duchamp!
I know you're in there!
Don't come any closer.
Put it down. Put it down.
We're going to help you.
Oh, just like you took care
of dr. Sulemani, huh?
What happened
to dr. Sulemani...
You want us all to die!
...Was a terrible
mistake, all right?
We don't want to hurt you,
but you have to
come to isolation.
I'm not going there!
I'm not even infected!
(coughing)
Or at least I wasn't
until you threw me in
with the rest of them!
Let me help you.
I want the cure!
We don't have a cure.
Bullshit!
The sodra's in there.
You're keeping it from us,
and I'm not gonna let you!
(stun baton zapping)
Put him in
the fusion lab
with sulemani.
(knocking)
This is alan farragut
of the cdc.
Everybody all right
in there?
Thank god you're here.
They almost got in.
What's your name?
Philippe duchamp.
What was he saying
about you having a cure?
This is ridiculous.
There is no cure.
(panel scanning)
Adding growth factors.
So the cells will build
a critical mass
For the genome sequencing.
And we stick it in
the incubator and wait.
So, do the
same thing I've been
doing for the last hour.
Mmm.
Is that supposed
to happen?
(gas hissing)
(alarm blaring)
Balleseros: So, when
you said you were
growing the virus...
It wasn't supposed
to grow like that.
You mean like
it was alive?
Viruses aren't
living organisms.
They lack any form of energy
or carbon metabolism.
Why did it hulk out?
(sighs) that's what
we're gonna find out.
Maybe alan'll know why
it reacted so violently
to the growth factor.
Wait.
Don't.
Don't what?
Don't tell anyone.
If hatake gets wind of this,
it'll be the monkey room
all over again.
I still don't trust you,
But when you're right,
you're right.
Dr. Bryce said
duchamp was working
on a... A cure.
Something called sodra.
I can't discuss that.
The research
is proprietary.
No! No more secrets!
You promised me
transparency.
When the satellite
comes online, I'll speak
with my board of directors.
You will tell me
everything I need to know,
Or when that satellite
comes online,
I'll tell every major
news organization on earth
what's happening in this base.
You think you're afraid
of the us military?
Wait till you have
to keep your secrets
from the new york post.
Sodra is
an antiviral treatment
With an astonishing
cure rate.
Nearly 100%.
When you say cure,
You mean
total viral elimination?
With no harm to host cells?
Yes.
How many viruses
have you tested against?
How wide a range?
All of them.
H1n1?
Hepatitis? Hiv?
Hell, smallpox
is a virus.
There are only two places
on earth that have smallpox,
The cdc,
and vector institute
in russia.
Actually,
there are three.
You have been
growing lethal viruses
For the purpose
of developing a cure-all.
Sodra works.
In all animal test cases,
the viruses were killed.
The only problem
is the mortality rate.
How many subjects
were killed?
Over 75%.
Which is why sodra
is not an option.
Level r has been sealed.
We'll take
everyone downstairs,
go person to person.
Anyone who's infected
stays below, everyone else
comes back up.
A hundred and forty
tests ready to go.
You two did good work.
If I call your name,
Please step over here,
take a face shield
From dr. Jordan,
and then come
stand over here.
Doctors alvarez,
Mihalovich,
Hassan.
Security tech terry.
Dr. Sun-lee.
Security tech gruning.
Those of you whose
names I have called,
you'll follow me.
The rest of you will
stay with dr. Jordan
and dr. Walker.
Wait!
Why are they getting
to go back upstairs?
Because they tested
negative for the virus.
(people mumbling)
Please find any empty cot.
Make yourselves at home.
Dr. Walker and dr. Jordan
will be coming around
To collect your
medical information.
Go ahead.
That's the last group.
Daniel: How many?
Forty-three infected.
That's almost
a third of the base.
I want to bring drs. Bryce
and sulemani down here.
Shouldn't they
stay locked up
in the fusion lab?
They already
tried to escape once.
This floor is secure.
There's no way out.
Excuse me.
Isolating this level
was a good idea.
People are settling in.
Yeah,
but they're scared.
I think a lot
of them believed
they weren't sick.
Part of them knew.
They just didn't
want to believe it.
I took peter's vitals again.
He's all over the place.
I'm sending his lab work
to the cdc as soon as the
satellite window opens.
Get some more
heads in the game
When finding
a safe treatment
and a vaccine.
That may be
too late for him.
Open the door.
Let's get these people
into the isolation barracks.
(sulemani grunting)
(sulemani roaring)
(stun gun zapping)
(growling)
(sniffles)
Almost done
with the samples?
I was just about
to bring them upstairs.
(clattering)
What's wrong?
No, I'm fine.
I just slipped.
Are you infected, sarah?
What?
You were in the drug
stockroom with peter.
Did he attack you?
No. I told you.
He ran off.
That's right,
you told us.
You think I would lie
about something like that?
Your symptoms.
You tried to hide your
hand tremor this morning,
And you wouldn't use yourself
as a control sample for the
rapid-response test.
You want me
to take the test?
Fine.
I'm not judging.
I can understand...
I would never
risk spreading
an infectious disease.
That's completely unethical.
What kind of a doctor
do you think I am?
It's clear.
Happy?
I'm sorry.
I just thought...
Where's alan?
Checking the
triage room. Why?
We have a problem.
Dr. Sulemani broke
out of the fusion lab.
She killed dr. Bryce.
What?
Dr. Sulemani is
on this level?
She's killing people!
(panicked screams)
Guard: Stop! Remain calm!
(people shouting)
Calm down, everybody!
Calm down!
Relax, get back!
Back!
Everyone remain calm!
Sarah!
Alan!
What's going on?
Where's julia?
Get back!
(growling)
Julia!
(growling)
(yelling in fear)
get back! Back, now!
Out of the hallway!
Get out of the hallway!
Get out of the hallway!
(heartbeat pounding)
(gunshot)
(gasps)
We need to get in the
elevator. Get upstairs.
I can't.
We'll regroup,
get medical supplies
for the injured...
I have to stay down here.
It's too dangerous.
We have to go.
Alan, I can't.
What happened?
Where is dr. Walker?
She's staying down there.
How could you
risk leaving her?
Dr. Farragut.
Alan!
She's infected.
She has the virus.
We need to
seal off level r.
It's the only way
to stop the contagion.
Leave them down there?
With no food or water?
There's a week's
worth of supplies.
He's right.
We've...
I have lost control
of this situation.
We need to seal it off.
How can you say that with
dr. Walker still down there?
It's only until
help arrives.
When the satellite com link
goes operative again,
I'm calling in
the army for backup.
(sniffles)
Two hundred
and seventy-four.
Three nurses
in kikwit of ebola,
Family of six in sudan,
lassa fever,
10 students in
a heidelberg dorm,
legionnaires' disease.
We've all had people
die on our watch, alan.
It's part of the job.
We save who we can.
I could live with 274
because it was the disease
that killed them,
Not me, until now.
I not only killed someone
with my own hands today,
But it's very likely...
Julia is very likely...
Way I hear it,
you didn't have
much of a choice.
What we're dealing
with here, none of us
has ever seen.
You're still
the best cdc has.
I've seen you
pull off miracles.
You'll figure out
a way to save 'em both.
What happened
with the monkey?
It's inconclusive
for now.
That's too bad.
I'm, uh...
I'm still doing tests.
(beeping)
No. No.
No, they should be green,
they should all be green!
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work!
(ringing)
Observation.
Doreen, where's alan?
Jules?
Hello?
(rumbling)
Alan?
Jules? You there? Jules?
Hello?
Can anybody hear me?
(banging on door)
The test doesn't work!
It doesn't work!
