Millennium (1996–1999): Season 2, Episode 22 - The Fourth Horseman - full transcript

OH, GOD.

LIKE YOURSELF, MR. WATTS,

THE MILLENNIUM GROUP IS
NOT CONTENT TO SIT AROUND...

WAITING FOR A HAPPY ENDING.

WE'RE CALLING IT THE TRUST.

AND WE HAVE TWO EX-K.G.B.,

TWO EX-MOSSAD AGENTS WORKING
ALONGSIDE AN OLD COMPANY MAN...

WHO'D HAVE BELIEVED IT?

OF COURSE, THE REST OF US YOU
KNOW FROM THE OLD BUREAU DAYS...

DUNCAN, VITARIS, BRIAN DIXON.

WE FEEL, FRANK, THAT WE HAVE TAKEN THE
BEST ELEMENTS OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS...



AND DUMPED THE WORST,

AND PUT TOGETHER A CORPORATE
SECURITY CONSULTATION DREAM TEAM.

THAT SOUNDS GREAT, RICH. I AM
REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU AND THOSE GUYS.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, FRANK.
WE'VE TAKEN OFF LIKE A ROCKET.

AND IT'S NOT JUST DISGRUNTLED
EMPLOYEES AND STALKERS.

SEE, WE'RE WORKING WITH
WESTERN CORPORATIONS IN MOSCOW...

HARASSED BY RUSSIAN
GANGSTERS. THREAT ASSESSMENT.

YES, SIR. YEAH,
WE'VE WORKED WITH...

THE JAPANESE
OFFICIALS ABOUT THE AUM

SHINRIKYO SECT, EVEN
GOVERNMENTS IN COLOMBIA.

RICH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PITCH
ME. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL ME.

I JUST CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY
TIMES ONE OF US FROM THE BUREAU SAYS,

"WELL, WE COULD SURE
USE FRANK ON THIS ONE."

YOU WANT ME TO COME
AND WORK FOR BRIAN DIXON?



NO, EVEN DIX DIDN'T WANT
THAT. NO, YOU'RE HIS IDOL.

NOW WE ALL AGREED THAT...

THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS FOR YOU
TO COME ABOARD AS A FULL PARTNER.

WHAT? AND MY HUNCH...

IS YOU'RE TIGHT ON FUNDS.

SO THE COMPANY WILL TAKE
CARE OF THE BUY-IN MONEY,

AND YOU CAN WORK AGAINST IT.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
MILLENNIUM GROUP PAYS YOU,

BUT I'M SURE WE'D
BE IN THE BALLPARK.

AND THE ADVANTAGE...
IS THIS ONE'S YOURS.

SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS,

AND WE'RE ALL UP FRONT
ABOUT EVERYTHING.

HELL, YOU'D HAVE MORE
TIME TO SPEND WITH JORDAN...

AND THE POTENTIAL TO
MAKE MORE FOR HER FUTURE.

HOLD ON JUST ONE SECOND.

HELLO? FRANK BLACK, PLEASE?

MAY I ASK WHO'S CALLING?

THIS IS DAN SULLIVAN. I'M A
PUBLIC RELATIONS ADMINISTRATOR...

AT ST. SEBASTIAN'S HOSPITAL.

I'M FRANK BLACK.

MR. BLACK, I APOLOGIZE FOR
THE DELAY IN NOTIFYING YOU.

HOWEVER, IT TOOK US SOME
TIME TO FIND THE NEXT OF KIN.

NEXT OF KIN?

OUR DEEPEST
CONDOLENCES, MR. BLACK.

YOUR FATHER, HENRY, PASSED AWAY IN OUR
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AT 6:02 THIS MORNING.

YOU CAN'T DIE WHEN IT'S
YOUR BIRTHDAY, RIGHT?

I'M AFRAID NO ONE GETS
ANY FREE DAYS, SWEETHEART.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS
SCARY, BUT NO ONE KNOWS.

MAYBE THAT'S THE
BEAUTIFUL PART OF IT.

THANK YOU.

KIDS DON'T DIE, RIGHT?

ACTUALLY, SOME DO. SO THAT'S
WHY WE ALL HAVE TO APPRECIATE...

REMEMBER THAT WORD?

WE HAVE TO APPRECIATE EACH OTHER AND
TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER WHILE WE'RE ALIVE.

GRANDPA WILL APPRECIATE THIS.

ARE YOU LONELY WITHOUT
YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY?

COME ON, SWEETIE. WE'LL
GO AND WAIT IN THE CAR.

I'M VERY LONELY.

THIS IS 555-0114. PLEASE
LEAVE A MESSAGE.

LARA, THIS IS FRANK
BLACK. HERE'S MY THING.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU. I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU'RE GETTING MY MESSAGES.

WILL YOU PLEASE CALL
ME BACK? I WANNA...

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK WITH.

UM, I HOPE YOU'RE
ALL RIGHT. BYE-BYE.

JASON MOGILNY, 32.

HIS ROOMMATE REPORTS HE LEFT HIS RESIDENCE
A FEW DAYS AGO TO COME UP HERE FISHING.

HE WAS DISCOVERED BY
A RANGER THIS MORNING.

CRIME SCENE TEAM DIDN'T FIND ANY NEW
TIRE TRACKS ON THE DIRT ROAD A MILE AWAY.

THERE'S NO FOOTPRINTS IN THE
DEW, NO DISTURBANCE IN THE FOLIAGE.

THE ONLY... SIGN OF RESISTANCE WERE
THESE TWO TRAILS LEADING TO THE BODY.

THE BODY APPEARS TO
HAVE BEEN EXSANGUINATED.

HOWEVER, A PRECURSORY M.E. EXAM
INDICATES NO PUNCTURE OR WEAPON WOUNDS...

LARGE ENOUGH TO EXPEL THAT
MUCH BLOOD... AN ENTIRE SIX PINTS.

NO ABRASIONS OR LACERATIONS. NO
SIGN OF ANY STRUGGLE WHATSOEVER,

EXCEPT FOR THESE DRAG MARKS.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ONE-INCH-IN-DIAMETER
HOLES IN AREAS ABOUT THE BODY.

WHY STOP AT THE RIVERBANK?

WHY NOT JUST TOSS
HIM INTO THE RIVER?

PETER?

THESE ARE NOT DRAG MARKS FROM THE VICTIM.
THESE ARE MAGGOT MIGRATING TRAILS...

POST-FEEDING LARVAE
LEAVING THE BODY.

THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S NO
EVIDENCE OF A STRUGGLE WHATSOEVER.

I'M GONNA HAVE THE
GROUP SEND OUT A

PATHOLOGIST TO EXTRACT
MITOCHONDRIAL D.N.A...

BECAUSE OF THE
EXTREME DEGRADATION.

HAVE YOU BEEN IN
TOUCH WITH LARA?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET
AHOLD OF HER FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

IS SHE ON ASSIGNMENT
FOR THE GROUP?

LAST I HEARD, SHE WAS AT
HOME AWAITING ASSIGNMENT.

LET'S GET HER HERE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED ALL
THE HELP WE CAN GET.

♪ IN THE YEAR ♪

♪ 2525 ♪

♪ IF MAN IS STILL ALIVE ♪

WE'RE SORRY. THE NUMBER

YOU HAVE DIALED IS
NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

PLEASE DIAL AGAIN OR ASK
THE OPERATOR FOR ASSISTANCE.

♪♪

THIS WAS NOT A HOMICIDE,
BUT ALL INDICATIONS

POINT TO A SUDDEN
AND HORRIBLE DEATH.

DEMENTIA, SEVERE BLOOD
LOSS, STATUS EPILEPTICUS.

THAT'S A CONTINUOUS
STATE OF SEIZURE.

IMPAIRED SWALLOWING REFLEX.

THIS MAN DROWNED IN HIS
OWN BLOOD. WHAT CAUSED THIS?

I'M FAMILIAR WITH ALL
OF WHAT WE FOUND,

BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD A REPORT
OF IT OCCURRING SIMULTANEOUSLY.

THERE IS EVIDENCE OF TRANSMISSIBLE
SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY.

THAT'S T.S.E.'s. IT'S A BLANKET TERM
COVERING A NUMBER OF BRAIN DISEASES.

YOU MIGHT BE AWARE OF
IT AS MAD COW DISEASE.

NOW THIS IS TRANSMISSIBLE.

BUT THE INFECTIOUS AGENT IS BELIEVED
NOT TO BE EITHER VIRAL OR BACTERIAL,

BUT A PROTEIN CALLED A PRION.

IT'S NOT EVEN ALIVE.

AND ALTHOUGH THESE DISEASES
CAN PRODUCE ASTROGLIOSIS...

IT'S THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE CELLS
OF THE BRAIN WHICH FIGHT INFECTION...

T.S.E.'s PRODUCE NO
SIGNS OF INFECTION.

THERE'S NO FEVER. THERE'S NO
DETECTABLE ANTIBODY ACTIVITY.

AND THE INCUBATION
PERIOD CAN BE DECADES.

BUT IN THE CASE OF THIS VICTIM,

THERE WAS ANTIBODY ACTIVITY.

EVIDENCE OF VIRAL
INFECTION AS WELL.

IT WAS LIKE AN AMBUSH.

I WOULD GUESS...

THE INCUBATION
TIME TO BE MINUTES.

NEARLY ALL OF THE TISSUE CELLS
WERE ATTACKED, INCLUDING THE BRAIN...

CAUSING THE BLOOD
VESSELS TO LEAK.

HIS BLOOD WAS
UNABLE TO COAGULATE.

HE LITERALLY SWEATED BLOOD.

I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING.

HAVE YOU, PETER? HAVE
YOU SEEN SUCH A THING?

I'VE READ REPORTS
OF SUCH A THING...

CONNECTED TO A MUTANT
STRAIN OF THE MARBURG VIRUS.

UH...

I'LL, UH, IMMEDIATELY
CONTACT THE C.D.C. AND, UH,

SEND A SAMPLE TO, UH,
MILL HILL IN BRITAIN AS WELL.

AS A PRECAUTION,

I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY
EXPOSED TO THIS VICTIM... THE PARK RANGER,

THE CRIME TEAM MEMBERS,
YOU TWO GENTLEMEN...

AND MYSELF SHOULD
BE QUARANTINED...

PENDING, UM, BLOOD AND
CELL SAMPLE ANALYSIS.

THANK YOU, MR. WATTS.

THE BABY HAS BEEN FLOATING
IN THE COOLER FOR WEEKS.

MARKS ON THE FIRST CERVICAL
VERTEBRAE CONFIRM THE HEAD WAS CUT OFF,

PROBABLY WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE.

YOU HAVE SEEN IT
BEFORE, HAVEN'T YOU?

THE GROUP KNOWS WHAT THIS IS.

THE GROUP KNOWS
WHAT IT COULD BECOME.

DON'T. DON'T. DON'T
SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY.

I'M ALONE IN A CELL. I'M
AWAY FROM MY FAMILY.

I'M IN A DANGER AND I DON'T
KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT YOU DO.

THIS REALLY SUMS UP MY
INVOLVEMENT WITH THE GROUP.

- AND AS FAR AS I CAN SEE IT,
IT DOES FOR YOU TOO, PETER.
- I KNOW.

THEN WHY? WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

WHY? I DON'T KNOW WHY, FRANK!

MAYBE I JUST HAVE TO
HAVE FAITH IN SOMETHING!

FAITH FILLS IN THE
HOLES OF UNCERTAINTY,

ELEMENTS THAT ARE
NEVER MEANT TO BE KNOWN...

GOD, DEATH.

THE GROUP CREATES
UNCERTAINTIES WITH THEIR SECRETS.

THAT'S NOT FAITH.
THAT'S CONTROL.

THEY KNOW THE SICKNESS
THAT KILLED MOGILNY.

YET THEY WON'T INFORM
ANYBODY OUTSIDE THE GROUP.

THEY ARE NOT SEEING
PROPHECY FULFILLED.

THEY ARE FULFILLING THEIR OWN
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTROL.

AND BEHOLD A PALE HORSE.

AND THE NAME OF HIM WHO SAT ON IT
WAS DEATH, AND HADES FOLLOWED WITH HIM.

AND THEY WERE GIVEN POWER
OVER A FOURTH OF THE EARTH...

TO KILL WITH SWORD, WITH HUNGER, WITH
DEATH AND BY THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH.

- WHEN HE OPENED THE FIFTH SEAL...
- PETER, REVELATION'S NOT A PROPHECY!

IT'S AN ARCHAIC TEXT,

A CODE FOR PEOPLE
SUPPRESSED BY THE ROMANS!

THERE IS NO MILLENNIUM!

AND THEY CALLED OUT IN A
LOUD VOICE, "HOW LONG, O LORD?

"HOW LONG UNTIL YOU JUDGE...

AND AVENGE OUR BLOOD ON
THOSE WHO DWELL UPON THE EARTH?"

HAPPY MOTHER'S
DAY. OH, THANK YOU.

MM, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING RINGING THE
DOORBELL? IT'S NOT OUR HOUSE ANYMORE.

OH, DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT. IT'LL ALWAYS
BE YOUR HOME. DAD WATCHING THE PADRE GAME?

HI, DAD. IT'S OVER.

OH, YEAH, I SPACED.
THEY PLAYED ATLANTA.

GOD, ALL MORNING WITH YOUR FATHER
SWEARING AT THE BRAVES' ANNOUNCERS.

YOU EVER HEAR THOSE GUYS? THE
BRAVES COULD BE DOWN BY TEN...

WITH TWO GONE IN THE BOTTOM
OF THE NINTH AND THEY'RE GOING,

"WELL, IF KLESKO COULD HIT ONE
OUT OR CHIPPER JONES HITS ONE OUT..."

YOU NEVER HEAR
JERRY COLEMAN DO THAT.

- IT'S MOTHER'S DAY. NO SPORTS.
- YOU KNOW I DON'T MIND.

AND I'M COOKING NOW.
THEY NEARLY DONE?

LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

OH, YEAH.

I'LL GET THE REST OF THE
STUFF READY. I'LL HELP.

HERE, BOY. WHAT DO YOU GOT?

♪♪

MOM, DON'T YOU EVER
GET TIRED OF THIS MUSIC?

BE QUIET. IT'S MOTHER'S DAY.
THIS STUFF'S GETTING BIG AGAIN.

SEE, I'M HIPPER THAN YOU THINK.

WRONG PIPE.

TIM, PASS ME AN EAR
OF CORN, WOULD YA?

BARBECUE SAUCE GET ON THE CORN?

IS THE CHICKEN COOKED ENOUGH?

ACTUALLY, MINE'S A
LITTLE OVERCOOKED.

- MOM?
- I'LL LISTEN TO WHATEVER MUSIC
I DAMN WELL PLEASE!

WE WERE JUST JOKING AROUND, MOM.

YOU HAVE SOME
KETCHUP ON YOUR BLOUSE.

♪♪

OH, GOD!

911.

HELLO? ANYONE THERE?

HELLO?

YOU'VE REACHED 911. PLEASE
REPORT YOUR EMERGENCY.

IS ANYONE THERE?

THANK YOU, MR. BLACK.

PETER, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

LARA IS SAFE, FRANK.

I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT YOU SHOULD BE
MADE TO WORRY ABOUT HER. SHE'S SAFE.

- BLOOD TEST, MR. BLACK.
- YOU JUST TOOK SOME
ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR AGO.

WHAT DO THEY DO,
PAY YOU BY THE HOUR?

YOU GUYS JUST TOOK SOME.

I WAS QUITE CONCERNED
FOR A WHILE, MR. BLACK.

YOUR, UH... YOUR "T" AND "B"
CELL COUNT FLEW UP THERE.

YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE WAS
INCREASING. ALL SIGNS OF INFECTION,

BUT WE COULDN'T IDENTIFY
ANY KNOWN INFECTIOUS AGENT.

I WAS PREPARED TO ADMINISTER ANTIBIOTICS
AND OTHER ANTI-INFECTIOUS MEDICINES,

BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
YOU RETURNED TO NORMAL.

PETER WATTS THE SAME? YES.

VERY SIMILAR, NEARLY IDENTICAL
PATTERN FOR MR. WATTS,

THE ENTIRE CRIME SCENE TEAM, DR. SCHROEDER,
EVERYONE WHO WAS IN QUARANTINE.

I THINK WE'RE OUT OF DANGER.

I'M HERE TO ACCEPT YOUR OFFER.

I'M REALLY GRATEFUL TO YOU GUYS,

AND I'M ANXIOUS TO
BEGIN WORKING WITH YOU.

BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT. WE CAN NO
LONGER COMMUNICATE BY PHONE.

THE TRUST UNDERSTANDS
THE DANGER YOU'RE IN.

WE'VE HEARD ABOUT
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.

THERE ARE PEOPLE INVOLVED.
I CAN'T LEAVE THEM BEHIND.

I'VE GOTTA GET 'EM OUT.

INVESTIGATING THE MILLENNIUM GROUP WILL
BE THE MOST DIFFICULT CASE YOU'VE EVER HAD.

THEY DON'T TOLERATE ENEMIES.

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED
IN THAT, RICHARD.

SO HOW CAN WE HELP YOU GET OUT?

I NEED YOUR SKILLS
TO FIND SOMEONE.

LARA MEANS?

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE.

YEAH? DON'T. DON'T PURSUE THIS.

WE HAVE TO TALK.

UM, JORDAN...

HAS BEEN HAVING THESE INTENSE
REOCCURRING NIGHTMARES.

SHE SAYS THAT THERE'S A JUNGLE,

A WALL OF TREES, AND
THERE ARE THESE MEN...

WHO SHE CALLS BAD MEN,
ALTHOUGH SHE CAN'T SAY WHY.

AND THEY GO INTO THE JUNGLE.

BUT THEN ALL OF THESE ANGRY SCREAMING
MONKEYS COME OUT OF THE TREES.

THE MONKEYS ARE
COVERED WITH BLOOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE A
SIX-YEAR-OLD GETS SUCH IMAGES.

SHE DREAMS THAT WE ARE THE
ONLY ONES LEFT IN THE WORLD.

AND THEN SUDDENLY, WE... YOU, ME
AND HER... ARE IN A CABIN IN THE WOODS.

AND THEN SHE SEES ME WALK OFF INTO
THE WOODS LEAVING HER AND YOU ALONE.

SHE SEES YOUR FATHER
CHASING AFTER ME.

I HAVE TALKED TO HER
AND LISTENED TO HER,

SUSPECTING SEPARATION
ANXIETY BECAUSE...

OF HER FIRST EXPERIENCE
OF LOSS THROUGH DEATH.

CATHERINE, AT YOUR HOSPITAL,

I NEED TO SPEAK TO A PHYSICIAN,
ONE WITH A BACKGROUND IN RESEARCH.

SOMEONE I CAN TRUST. IS
THIS FOR AN INVESTIGATION?

A GROUP INVESTIGATION?

HEY.

LOOK AT WHAT THEY
HAVE DONE TO YOU.

YOU CARE MORE ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS
THAN ABOUT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER.

HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?

THESE NIGHTMARES ARE
OCCURRING BECAUSE YOU ARE GONE.

AND YOU ARE GONE
BECAUSE OF THEM.

THEY HAVE SO ENGULFED YOUR LIFE THAT YOU
DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER.

THESE ARE THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
TACTICS... OF A CULT!

LISTEN, I'M NOT JUST MAKING UP SOME KIND
OF SIMPLE DEAL HERE. I NEVER LIE TO YOU.

I CAN'T TAKE...

THE HEARTACHE OF NOT WATCHING JORDAN
GROW UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES...

OR BEING THERE EVERY DAY.

DO THIS FOR ME WITHOUT QUESTION.

I'LL LEAVE THE GROUP.

WE'LL GO BACK TO THE
YELLOW HOUSE AS A FAMILY.

AS A FAMILY.

OKAY.

OPEN UP.

THAT'S ALL I NEED, FRANK.

WHEN YOU GET THE RESULTS, COULD
YOU PLEASE NOT PHONE, FAX OR E-MAIL ME.

JUST SEAL THE RESULTS
AND GIVE THEM TO CATHERINE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THE LAST PHONE CALL
MADE FROM HER APARTMENT...

IN ST. LOUIS WAS ON
APRIL 23rd TO PETER WATTS.

HER APARTMENT HAS BEEN SUBLET TO A
COUPLE WITH NO PRIOR HISTORY TO MISS MEANS.

ON APRIL 25th, LARA MEANS
VACATED THE RESIDENCE.

SHE LEFT NO FORWARDING ADDRESS.

THE INVESTIGATION AT THIS
JUNCTURE PROVED DIFFICULT.

NO CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS, NO
PRESENCE ON AIRLINE PASSENGER MANIFESTS.

MS. MEANS APPEARED
TO HAVE VANISHED.

ACTING UPON INFORMATION
PROVIDED BY MR. BLACK

REGARDING PETER
WATTS'S STATEMENTS...

THAT MS. MEANS WAS SAFE,

THE INVESTIGATION TURNED TOWARDS
MR. WATTS UNDER THE POSSIBILITY...

HE MAY BE IN CONTACT WITH HER.

VIA THE USE OF ELECTRONIC,
AUDIO AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE,

IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT MR. WATTS
WAS AWARE OF HER LOCATION.

ATTACHED PLEASE FIND A DETAILED
REPORT OF MR. WATTS'S ACTIVITIES...

AND ARRANGED
TRAVEL DESTINATIONS.

THE PURPOSE OF HIS TRAVEL
REMAINS UNDETERMINED,

BUT EVIDENCE INDICATES
THE LOCATION MAY INDEED BE...

THE CURRENT WHEREABOUTS
OF LARA MEANS.

SECTION FOUR. NO
SIGN OF HIM HERE.

HELP ME. IF SOMEONE IS
OUT THERE, PLEASE HELP.

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?

COME ON. SAY HELLO.
COME ON. SAY IT.

YOU CAN DO IT.
COME ON. SAY HELLO.

PETER, THIS IS FRANK. THIS IS
THE LAST MESSAGE I'M LEAVING.

I'M NOT GONNA PAGE
YOU, BUT WE HAVE TO TALK.

SAY HELLO.

HEY, DAD, HOW COME PEOPLE
CAN TALK AND ANIMALS CAN'T?

THAT'S JUST THE WAY
IT WORKED OUT, I GUESS.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY
CAN'T COMMUNICATE, THOUGH.

I MEAN, IF YOU TAKE
CARE OF KENNY,

YOU'RE GONNA KNOW IF HE'S
HAPPY OR SAD OR SCARED.

THE WAY IT WORKS OUT...

DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S A
WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO?

JORDAN, CAN I TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THE BAD DREAMS YOU'VE BEEN HAVING?

JORDAN? JORDAN,
LISTEN TO ME. COME ON.

WE SHOULD LEAVE THE
MONKEYS IN THE TREES.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

MOM!

DAD BOUGHT ME A PARAKEET,
JUST LIKE I WANTED! OH, WOW!

SHE ASKED FOR IT.

I THOUGHT TAKING CARE OF
SOMETHING THAT WAS ALIVE...

WOULD HELP HER FEEL BETTER
ABOUT WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH.

HE'S PRETTY. YEP.

MAYBE I OUGHT TO GET YOU A BIRD.

OH.

HELLO, PETER. HOW DID YOU
GET ACCESS TO BLUE LEVEL?

ROEDECKER WAS SO
DISGRUNTLED WHEN YOU FIRED HIM...

THAT HE SHOWED ME THIS TRICK
TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I GOT IN.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY I
COULD CONTACT YOU.

- TALK.
- I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T
WANNA TALK TO ME...

BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID, AND BELIEVE
ME, YOU HAVE EVERY REASON TO BE.

I RAN SOME TESTS OF MY OWN, AND
THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO US...

THAT MAY AFFECT EVERYONE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

THE BLOOD TESTS YOU
WERE GIVEN INDICATE THE

PRESENCE OF GENETICALLY
ALTERED EBOLA VIRUS.

YEAH. THERE'S ALSO
EVIDENCE OF PRIONS...

WHICH IN NATURE HAVE NO
R.N.A... THEY'RE NOT ALIVE... BUT...

IN YOUR BODY THERE
ARE PRIONS WITH R.N.A.?

EXACTLY. BECAUSE THEY
DON'T OCCUR NATURALLY.

- SOMEONE GAVE THESE PRIONS LIFE.
- BUT THE REPORT SAYS
THEY'RE INACTIVE.

LIFE WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THESE
CREATURES TO RENDER A VACCINE.

IT'S A D.N.A. VACCINE
AGAINST THE DISEASE...

THAT KILLED MOGILNY BY THE
RIVER, AND IT'S OUT THERE SPREADING.

BUT YOU AND I WERE
GIVEN A VACCINE...

BY THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.

- IN QUARANTINE?
- MM-HMM.

I DON'T RECALL ANYTHING
BUT BLOOD BEING DRAWN.

ALL RIGHT, A TEAM CAME IN.
THEY WEREN'T HOSPITAL DOCTORS.

THEY GAVE US THE VACCINE...

WHILE THEY WERE APPEARING TO BE TAKING
BLOOD FROM US, SO WE WOULDN'T SUSPECT.

IT'S AN OLD MAGICIAN'S TRICK.
IT'S ALL AN ILLUSION, PETER.

THE MILLENNIUM
GROUP'S AN ILLUSION.

CEREMONIES AND SECRETS THAT ONLY
CERTAIN MEMBERS CAN UNDERSTAND.

COLLECTING THE CROSS
OF THE CRUCIFIXION?

ANCIENT TEXT FOR
FUTURE PROPHECIES?

IT'S ALL A DIVERSION...
SLEIGHT OF HAND.

DISTRACTION FROM THE PROBLEMS
THEY'RE TRYING TO CONTROL.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE END OF THE
WORLD. IT'S ABOUT CONTROLLING THE WORLD.

AND THAT'S NOT WHO I AM. AND THAT'S,
I BELIEVE, NOT WHO YOU ARE, PETER.

THEY CAME TO ME...

AT A TIME IN MY
LIFE WHEN EVIL...

THERE'S NO OTHER WORD FOR IT...

HAD LOST ALL PROPORTION WITH
THE REST OF THE WORLD AROUND ME.

I WAS WITNESS TO CRIMES...

THAT HAD NO BASIS
IN HUMAN MOTIVATION.

THERE HAS TO BE MORE
TO IT THAN JUST US.

THERE HAS TO BE. IT ALL HAS TO LEAD
IN SOME INEVITABLE DIRECTION, FRANK.

I BELIEVE THAT. THEIR ANSWERS
TOUCHED ON ALL MY QUESTIONS.

I BELIEVED IT THEN.
I BELIEVE IT NOW.

THE GROUP KNOWS THAT THERE'S
AN INFECTIOUS MANMADE AGENT.

AND IF REPORTS ARE
CORRECT, IT IS A PLAGUE...

THAT CAN TRAVEL THE WORLD IN A
MATTER OF DAYS KILLING PEOPLE IN SECONDS.

YOU SAID WE WERE
VACCINATED AGAINST THIS AGENT?

WHY DIDN'T THEY
WANT US TO KNOW THAT?

THE GROUP IS NOT THE
SOLUTION. IT'S THE PROBLEM, PETER!

I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE THE GROUP.

THEN INVESTIGATE IT WITH ME.

QUESTION YOUR FAITH. IF I'M WRONG,
THEN IT'S CONFIRMED. YOU'RE STRONGER.

IF THEY FOUND OUT
THAT I WAS DOING THAT,

A MADE MEMBER INVESTIGATING
THE GROUP, THEY WOULD KILL ME.

IF I'M RIGHT, WE'LL SAVE LIVES.

TOMORROW MORNING, AT 4:13 A.M.,

A 5.2 EARTHQUAKE WILL
HIT THE SEATTLE AREA.

HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT?

THE SAME WAY WE KNEW THE
KOBE, JAPAN QUAKE WOULD OCCUR...

A YEAR TO THE DAY AFTER
THE NORTHRIDGE QUAKE.

WE KNEW WHERE TO LOOK.

AND THERE SHALL BE GREAT EARTHQUAKES
AT VARIOUS PLACES AND FAMINE...

AND PESTILENCE AND THERE
SHALL BE FEARFUL SIGHTS...

AND GREAT SIGNS FROM HEAVEN.

IF THIS OCCURS, WILL YOU ACCEPT
AN OFFER TO BECOME A FULL MEMBER...

OF THE MILLENNIUM GROUP... NO
MORE QUESTIONS, NO MORE DOUBTS?

HELLO? IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, FRANK. THERE'S
NO NEED TO DOUBT. THEY'RE RIGHT.

THE THINGS I'M SEEING,
THE THINGS THEY SHOW ME,

THE SECRETS YOU WILL LEARN.

LARA? LARA?

I MADE THIS!
