Millennium (1996–1999): Season 2, Episode 23 - The Time Is Now - full transcript
Frank learns more about a deadly virus sweeping across the land.
- BYE-BYE, KENNY.
- BYE, KENNY.
BYE.
HOW DOES GOD CHOOSE WHEN
IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DIE?
WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT
THEY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT...
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS BUT GOD.
IF GOD IS SO GREAT, COULDN'T HE
MAKE IT SO NOBODY... EVER DIES?
HONEY, THERE MUST BE A REASON THAT
ALL THINGS HAVE TO DIE. THERE MUST BE.
WE'LL ALL KNOW THE
REASON SOMEDAY, SOMETIME.
IS THE TIME NEAR?
DR. SORENSON,
WE'RE IN A HOT ZONE.
WE CAN'T DETERMINE THAT UNTIL
WE COLLECT ALL THE EVIDENCE...
AND CORROBORATE IT WITH
THE C.D.C. AT FORT DIETRICH.
WE DON'T HAVE TO
WAIT, SIR. IT'S HERE.
WE KNEW IT WAS
COMING... THAT IT WOULD
SPREAD FASTER THAN WE
COULD EVER CONTROL IT.
AND NOW IT'S HERE.
THE TIME IS NOW.
THERE'S CRACKS AROUND
BACK. THE FOUNDATION'S
CRACKED. I GUESS IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THIS HOUSE...
WAS DAMAGED LONG BEFORE
THIS MORNING'S EARTHQUAKE.
YEAH. BLETCH. THE
OLD MAN. OUR FAMILY.
MAYBE NOW THAT WE'VE FOUND OUR
WAY BACK TO THE YELLOW HOUSE...
IT'S TIME FOR A
DIFFERENT YELLOW HOUSE.
IN THE YEAR 2525 ♪
- FRANK?
- YEAH.
THIS CAME FOR YOU. ♪
IF MAN IS STILL ALIVE ♪♪
HENRY LEFT YOU SOME PROPERTY... A CABIN
AND A FEW ACRES IN THE WENATCHEE MOUNTAINS.
WELL.
WE SHOULD PUT THIS UP FOR SALE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY USE FOR IT.
IT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE A PLACE
TO TAKE JORDAN OUT OF THE CITY.
NO ONE'S BEEN UP THERE
SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
I'M SURE THE CABIN'S
BARELY STANDING.
NOW THAT YOU'VE LEFT THE MILLENNIUM
GROUP AND YOU HAVE SOME FREE TIME,
IT MIGHT BE A NICE
PROJECT FOR YOU.
HONEY, YESTERDAY...
PETER WATTS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS
GONNA BE AN EARTHQUAKE THIS MORNING.
TO THE MAGNITUDE.
TO THE MINUTE. THE GROUP KNEW.
THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING.
EVENTS ARE UNFOLDING...
EVENTS THAT, IF I
UNDERSTOOD, I COULD EFFECT.
IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY...
THAT FOR THE SAKE OF YOU AND
JORDAN, I CAN'T WALK AWAY FROM.
SO MUCH IN ME
DISTRUSTS THEIR POWER.
I AM DISGUSTED BY THEIR
CONTROL OVER PEOPLE.
I DOUBT THEIR
CHRISTIAN PROPHECIES.
I WANNA TELL THEM TO GO TO
THE HELL THAT THEY FEAR SO MUCH.
BUT BENEATH IT
ALL, I BELIEVE THEM.
AND I CAN'T WALK AWAY UNTIL I'M
CERTAIN OF WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT BRING.
THE WAY YOU FEEL TOWARD THEM...
DESCRIBES MY FEELING TOWARD YOU.
THE TIME IS NEAR.
WHY NOW? WHY NOW, FRANK?
WHY WERE WE BORN NOW?
DO YOU REALIZE THE
PROBABILITY... THE PROBABILITY
OF EVEN BEING BORN
AT ALL... THE CHANCES...
OF ANY LIFE BEING HERE,
LET ALONE YOU AND ME?
IF IT ENDS... WHEN
IT WILL END, WE'LL BE
AMONGST THE 10% OF ALL
HUMANS WHO EVER LIVED.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE ODDS OF
BEING BORN AT THE TIME IT ALL ENDS?
AND SINCE THE TIME IS NOW, SINCE
THE END IS HERE, WE'RE ALL OLD.
BUT COMPARED TO
ALL THE LIFE ON EARTH...
OF ALL THE LIFE IN THE
UNIVERSE... WE'RE INFANTS.
THAT'S ALL WE'LL EVER
BE... ALL WE EVER WERE.
CAN YOU CALCULATE THE
ODDS OF BEING BOTH? I'M...
I'M SO... SO LUCKY, FRANK, TO BE
BORN NOW. THE THINGS THEY'VE TOLD ME,
THE RESPONSIBILITY, FRANK.
JUST TO KNOW IS ENOUGH. TO...
TO SEE IT... HAVING THE CHANCE
TO WITNESS... I'M SO FRIGHTENED.
TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO
WATCH IT HAPPEN, BUT...
BUT WE'LL... BUT WE'LL
BE ALL RIGHT. WE...
WE CAN'T BE BORN JUST
TO DIE. WE KNEW THIS WAS
COMING, RIGHT? WE'VE
KNOWN FOR TWO MILLENNIA.
"BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND THOSE
WHO HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY...
AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE
WRITTEN IN IT; FOR THE TIME IS NEAR."
RICHARD, I'M HONORED. YOU OFFERED
ME A JOB WITH YOU IN THE TRUST.
BUT I HAVE TO REMAIN
WITH THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
CAN YOU SAY WHY?
FRANK, GET OUT.
GET AWAY.
WHEN WE INVESTIGATED LARA
MEANS'S WHEREABOUTS FOR YOU,
WE MADE SOME DISCOVERIES ABOUT
MILLENNIUM THAT SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME.
THEY'RE WATCHING US.
BUT YOU SHOULD BE
AWARE THAT THEY'VE...
RECENTLY BEGUN INTENSE
SURVEILLANCE ON PETER WATTS.
AND ANY GROUP WHO SO CLOSELY MONITORS
THEIR OWN MEMBERS SHOULD BE FEARED.
I AM CERTAIN OF
ONE THING, FRANK.
I'LL BE WATCHIN' YOUR BACK.
BE WELL, RICHARD.
HOW IS IT DECIDED...
WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES?
MAYBE, INDIVIDUALLY,
WE'RE ALLOTTED ONLY
SO MANY DAYS OF LIFE.
MAYBE, AS A WHOLE,
MANKIND IS ONLY ALLOTTED
SO MANY DAYS OF LIFE.
SO YOU SEE,
IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE
THE PLAN FOR MANKIND,
THE DEATH OF
ONE INDIVIDUAL IS...
ABSOLUTELY... INCONSEQUENTIAL.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP...
IS NOT CONCERNED WITH
ANY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL LIFE.
DO YOU SEE WHERE
I'M GOING WITH THIS?
OUR RESPONSIBILITY... AND REMEMBER
THAT WORD. IT'LL COME UP AGAIN.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE
LIFE OF THE WHOLE OF MANKIND.
AND SO WE MUST PROCEED IN A
MANNER THAT INCREASES THE ODDS...
OF THAT SURVIVAL.
SOUNDS LIKE A PARADOX.
BUT IT IS THE VERY NATURE
OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IF ONE LIFE APPEARS
TO INTERFERE...
WITH OUR PROTECTION
OF BILLIONS OF LIVES,
THEN... IT REALLY
BECOMES A NO-BRAINER.
AND THE COURAGE TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THOSE LIVES...
THAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT.
AS YOU ARE TO BECOME A
MEMBER OF THE MILLENNIUM GROUP...
THERE WILL BE A CONSTANT
DANGER TO YOURSELF...
MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY...
IN THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.
JUST THE SIMPLE ACT OF
COMPREHENDING THE REALITY...
OF THE EVENTS BEFORE US
CAN CAUSE SOME TO BREAK.
COME ON. COME ON!
AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT BROKEN BY THE
DANGER AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KNOWING,
COMES THE INTENSITY
OF LIVING WITH THAT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES...
AND THE ACTIONS WHICH
MUST BE TAKEN TO ACHIEVE...
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP'S
SUCCESS OF PURPOSE.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE.
LONG TIME.
THIS IS NO WAY TO MEET UP AGAIN.
DID YOU EXAMINE THIS? OF COURSE.
NOTHING.
I WAS POSITIVE THIS
WAS NO ACCIDENT.
ALL OF US IN THE TRUST CHECKED
THE CAR WITH THE INTENT...
ON FINDING THE EVIDENCE TO
PROVE OUR SUSPICIONS, BUT...
NO FOREIGN SUBSTANCES
OR OBJECTS IN THE BRAKE LINE,
NO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING ON
THE PADS, DISC OR WHEEL DRUMS.
NO ONE CAN TELL ME
THAT THE SAME NIGHT THAT
RICHARD INFORMS ME THE
GROUP IS WATCHING US,
HE DIES IN A CAR WRECK.
FRANK, DEATH IS
NEVER CONVENIENT...
NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
THE TIMING OR THE NEED FOR A REASON.
SOMETIMES IT'S JUST AS
SIMPLE AS... OUR TIME IS UP.
THERE ARE STRANGE REPORTS OUT OF
THE EASTERN REGION OF CHINA NEAR JINAN...
IN WHICH AN ENTIRE VILLAGE OF FARMERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE FOUND DEAD TODAY.
INFORMATION IS SKETCHY, WITH CAUSES
BEING ATTRIBUTED TO EVERYTHING...
FROM MASS SUICIDE
TO A TOXIC SPILL.
- YOU PUT YOURSELF AT RISK
COMING HERE.
- WE'RE ALL AT RISK.
LARA MEANS. I HEARD A MESSAGE.
SHE'S IN A VOLATILE
STATE... SOMETIMES
HAPPENS AFTER BEING
INITIATED INTO THE GROUP.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU IF
YOU INTEND TO BECOME A MEMBER.
- I'LL NEVER STOP QUESTIONING.
- WELL, YOU MADE ME
START QUESTIONING.
YOU CAN STOP LOOKIN' FOR
EVIDENCE HERE. THEY DIDN'T DO THIS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP'S OCCUPIED WITH
SOMETHING FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN GILBERT.
YOU TRIED TO GET INFORMATION
ABOUT THE MARBURG VIRUS...
FROM THE GROUP'S DATABASE,
BUT IT WAS LEVEL BLUE CLEARANCE.
YES. I DID.
AFTER YOU SHOWED ME THE
MEDICAL TESTS YOU HAD DONE,
WHICH TO ME INDICATED THAT WE HAD
BEEN INOCULATED WITHOUT OUR BEING AWARE,
I NEEDED TO KNOW
INOCULATED AGAINST WHAT.
SO...
SINCE IT APPEARS THAT I NO
LONGER HAVE LEVEL BLUE CLEARANCE,
I BROKE INTO GROUP ARCHIVES AND STOLE
SOME OF THE OLD MAN'S PERSONAL EFFECTS...
SPECIFICALLY, RECORDED TRANSMISSION
AND HIS SECURITY ACCESS PHRASE.
I EDITED THE TRANSMISSION. I MATCHED
HIS VOICE CODE. I GOT INTO LEVEL BLUE,
AND I LOOKED UP
THE MARBURG VIRUS.
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
IT APPEARS TO LIVE IN AN
UNKNOWN ANIMAL HOST...
SOMEWHERE IN THE KITUM
CAVE REGION OF EAST AFRICA.
THE SOVIETS' BIOPREPARAT SENT
MEN INTO THE JUNGLE TO FIND IT.
JORDAN KEEPS HAVING THESE
REOCCURRING DREAMS ABOUT MONKEYS.
FRANK, YOUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T JUST
DREAM. YOU MUST KNOW THAT BY NOW.
WHAT ABOUT THE RUSSIANS?
THE OBJECT WAS TO CREATE A
DEVASTATING BIOLOGICAL WEAPON.
THE VIRUS IS GENETICALLY
LABILE. IT COULD EXCHANGE GENES...
WITH PLAGUE, ANTHRAX,
SMALLPOX, FLU STRAINS,
WHICH CREATES VARIANT
VIRUSES AGAINST WHICH A
HUMAN POPULATION HAS
NO IMMUNOLOGICAL DEFENSE.
WEAPONS-GRADE ANTHRAX
TAKES APPROXIMATELY...
8,000 MICROSCOPIC SPORES
TO INTRODUCE AN INFECTION.
THE MARBURG VARIANT THEY
CREATED IN THE LAB TAKES THREE.
NOW, IN 1982, PRIONS
WERE DISCOVERED.
AND A PRION IS A PROTEIN.
IT HAS NO R.N.A., NO LIFE.
SO IT WOULD MAKE
THE PERFECT WEAPON.
IT'S IMMUNE TO ANTIBIOTICS, ENZYMES. IT
CAN WITHSTAND THE HEAT OF OVER 600 DEGREES.
A MARBURG VARIANT VIRUS WAS
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED WITH A PRION,
THEREBY CREATING A BIOLOGICAL AGENT
THAT WOULD KILL QUICKLY, SPREAD RAPIDLY,
AND IF THE VIRUS WERE NEUTRALIZED, THE
FUSED PRION WOULD FINISH OFF THE HOST.
WHEN THE SOVIET UNION FELL,
THE BIOWEAPONS FACILITY
NEAR PEKA WAS ABANDONED.
THE VIRUS... MARBURG
VARIANT P.R.P...
A MANMADE LIFE-FORM THAT HAD NEVER
BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT... LEAKED.
BIRDS IN THE AREA... AND BIRDS WERE
ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE... BECAME INFECTED.
AND OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS THEY
MIGRATED TO ALASKA, TO NORTHERN CANADA,
TO THE AMERICAN UPPER MIDWEST.
IN 1986, A WISCONSIN FARMER AND HIS
ENTIRE FLOCK OF HENS DIED FROM ITS EFFECTS.
SO IT HAD UNDERGONE
ANTIGENIC DRIFT...
IT COULD BE TRANSMITTED
FROM BIRDS TO HUMANS.
BUT THEN AS SOON AS THAT
HAPPENED, THE VIRUS DISAPPEARED.
THE VIRUS... YOU'RE
TELLING ME IT'S BACK?
- THE MAN WE FOUND
BY THE RIVER LAST WEEK?
- YEAH.
A FAMILY NEAR SAN
DIEGO A FEW DAYS AGO.
A VILLAGE IN CHINA YESTERDAY.
A TOWN IN SOUTH AMERICA TODAY.
THE GROUP HAS A VACCINE.
THEY GAVE IT TO US.
YEAH. AFTER '86, THEY...
DEVELOPED A VACCINE THAT WOULD KEEP THE
VIRUS IN CHECK ONCE IT ENTERED THE BODY.
- SO PEOPLE CAN BE INOCULATED.
- THERE WOULD NEVER
BE ENOUGH MATERIAL...
TO DEVELOP A UNIVERSAL VACCINE.
- THEY... THEY ONLY MADE ENOUGH
FOR GROUP MEMBERS.
- AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND THE FAMILIES, PETER.
IT WAS ALWAYS...
ABOUT CONTROL, FRANK.
THEY'RE GONNA EXPECT US TO
STAY WITH 'EM NOW THAT THEY'VE...
PROTECTED US FROM THIS PLAGUE.
SO, WATCHING OUR FAMILIES DIE...
THAT'S PROTECTING US?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
GET YOUR FAMILY. I HAVE A
PLACE WHERE WE CAN STAY.
LARA MEANS... CAN
YOU CONTACT HER?
"THE REVELATION OF JESUS
CHRIST, WHICH GOD GAVE HIM...
"TO SHOW HIS SERVANTS... THINGS
WHICH MUST SHORTLY TAKE PLACE.
"AND HE SAID AND
SIGNIFIED IT BY HIS ANGEL...
"TO HIS SERVANT JOHN,
"WHO BORE WITNESS
TO THE WORD OF GOD,
"AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS
CHRIST, TO ALL THINGS THAT HE SAW.
"BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND THOSE
WHO HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY,
AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE
WRITTEN IN IT; FOR THE TIME IS NEAR."
FORGET IT, WATTS.
SHE'S COMIN' WITH ME.
"'I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA,
THE FIRST AND THE LAST.'"
YES. FRANK?
PETER. WHAT'S UP?
PETER? WHERE ARE YOU?
WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?
COME ON.
GEIBELHOUSE. LISTEN. I NEED YOU
TO TRACK PETER WATTS'S CELL PHONE.
NO. NO. NOW.
NOW. ALL RIGHT. CALL ME BACK.
PETER!
WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU?
PETER! WHERE ARE YOU?

SINCE LAST WEDNESDAY'S
OUTBREAK IS ESTIMATED AT 500.
UNDER THE ADVISEMENT OF THE
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL...
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON...
HAVE DECLARED KING, PIERCE
AND THURSTON COUNTIES...
QUARANTINED AREAS
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
THE C.D.C. ADMITS TO NOT HAVING
IDENTIFIED AN INFECTIOUS AGENT...
OR CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.
THEY ADVISE DRINKING
ONLY BOTTLED WATER...
ORIGINATING FROM
OUT OF THIS AREA.
DO NOT GO OUTSIDE. HELLO?
- CATHERINE?
- WHERE ARE YOU NOW? I'VE BEEN
CALLING YOU ALL NIGHT.
PACK UP ALL THE PROVISIONS
YOU CAN. I'LL BE THERE IN AN HOUR.
- WE NEED YOU HERE NOW.
- I'LL LOAD UP THE VAN. DON'T
YOU AND JORDAN GO OUTSIDE.
LARA,
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE...
NOT MY WIFE, NOT MY FAMILY...
WHO EVER UNDERSTOOD.
ONLY YOU.
I'VE TRAVELED THAT ROAD,
LARA, THAT YOU'RE ON.
WHAT I SAW MADE ME SWEAR THAT I
WOULD... RATHER DIE THAN RETURN.
OH, I KNOW PEACE
CAN BE FOUND THERE.
AND IF YOU DO...
IF YOU DO FIND IT...
I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER RETURN.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OUR NEW YELLOW HOUSE.
UGH.
CAN WE GO HOME NOW? WE'RE GONNA
BE HERE FOR A WHILE, SWEETHEART.
OKAY. COME ON, SWEETIE.
UGH. UGH.
MOMMY, I'LL BE RIGHT
OUTSIDE. OKAY, SWEETIE.
CATHERINE.
IN THE MIDDLE AGES,
DURING THE BLACK PLAGUE,
PEOPLE USED TO
GATHER THEIR FAMILIES,
TAKE 'EM TO THE
MOUNTAINS OR THE FORESTS.
THEY WOULD POST GUARDS
ENCIRCLING THEIR CAMPS,
AND THEY WOULD KILL
ANYBODY THAT APPEARED.
THE ONES THAT PRACTICED THIS
BEHAVIOR... THEY SURVIVED THE OUTBREAK.
THE EARLY SYMPTOMS, WHICH
A VICTIM MAY NOT RECOGNIZE,
INCLUDE A SENSE
OF DISORIENTATION.
MONITOR ANY INCREASE IN BODY
TEMPERATURE. BE AWARE OF A LOW-GRADE FEVER.
SECONDARY SYMPTOMS, WHICH MAY TAKE
ONLY HOURS OR EVEN MINUTES TO APPEAR...
CAN WE TURN IT OFF? YEAH.
BLACKISH PAPULES NEAR THE...
GOD.
LOOK AT HER.
WHAT IF SHE GETS SICK?
UM... HOW CAN WE LET
HER GO THROUGH THAT?
WE WOULDN'T.
IF I GET SICK...
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO WATCH ME DIE.
HEY... I DON'T WANT
HER TO WATCH ME DIE.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO... WHAT?
I COULDN'T DO THAT. I COULDN'T.
YOU HAVE TO. NO, NO, NO. LOOK
AT ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH.
WHAT ARE YOU ASKING
ME? WOULDN'T YOU WANT...
I WOULDN'T ASK YOU TO DO
THAT. I'D GO OUT IN THE WOODS.
I'D JUST...
I WOULDN'T ASK YOU
TO DO THAT. I WOULDN'T.
IF YOU BOTH BECAME
SICK, I-I WOULDN'T...
I WOULDN'T WANT
TO LIVE AFTER THAT.
I CAN'T GET SICK.
IT WAS DONE TO ME,
AND I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT.
THE GROUP GAVE ME A VACCINE.
THEY KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY KNOW.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT IT?
IT'S A VIRUS, AND IT MAY BE IT LOSES ITS
VIRULENCE. IT BECOMES... IT FADES AWAY.
OR MAYBE THEY'RE GONNA GIVE IT
TO THE GOVERNMENT. I DON'T KNOW.
THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY
HAD ENOUGH FOR THEIR MEMBERS.
OH, MY GOD.
LARA MEANS GOT A SENSE OF
WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO HER.
WE GOTTA GIVE IT TO JORDAN.
RIGHT AWAY.
I LOVE YOU.

HOW DOES GOD CHOOSE WHEN
IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DIE?
WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT
THEY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT...
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS BUT GOD.
IF GOD IS SO GREAT, COULDN'T HE
MAKE IT SO NOBODY... EVER DIES?
HONEY, THERE MUST BE A REASON THAT
ALL THINGS HAVE TO DIE. THERE MUST BE.
WE'LL ALL KNOW THE
REASON SOMEDAY, SOMETIME.
IS THE TIME NEAR?

HENRY LEFT YOU SOME PROPERTY... A CABIN

NO ONE'S BEEN UP THERE

I'M SURE THE CABIN'S
BARELY STANDING.

HONEY, YESTERDAY...
PETER WATTS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS
GONNA BE AN EARTHQUAKE THIS MORNING.

TO THE MINUTE. THE GROUP KNEW.
THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING.
EVENTS ARE UNFOLDING...
EVENTS THAT, IF I
UNDERSTOOD, I COULD EFFECT.
IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY...
THAT FOR THE SAKE OF YOU AND
JORDAN, I CAN'T WALK AWAY FROM.
SO MUCH IN ME
DISTRUSTS THEIR POWER.
I AM DISGUSTED BY THEIR
CONTROL OVER PEOPLE.
I DOUBT THEIR
CHRISTIAN PROPHECIES.
I WANNA TELL THEM TO GO TO
THE HELL THAT THEY FEAR SO MUCH.
BUT BENEATH IT
ALL, I BELIEVE THEM.
AND I CAN'T WALK AWAY UNTIL I'M
CERTAIN OF WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT BRING.
THE WAY YOU FEEL TOWARD THEM...
DESCRIBES MY FEELING TOWARD YOU.
THE TIME IS NEAR.
WHY NOW? WHY NOW, FRANK?
WHY WERE WE BORN NOW?
DO YOU REALIZE THE
PROBABILITY... THE PROBABILITY
OF EVEN BEING BORN
AT ALL... THE CHANCES...
OF ANY LIFE BEING HERE,
LET ALONE YOU AND ME?
IF IT ENDS... WHEN
IT WILL END, WE'LL BE
AMONGST THE 10% OF ALL
HUMANS WHO EVER LIVED.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE ODDS OF
BEING BORN AT THE TIME IT ALL ENDS?
AND SINCE THE TIME IS NOW, SINCE
THE END IS HERE, WE'RE ALL OLD.
BUT COMPARED TO
ALL THE LIFE ON EARTH...
OF ALL THE LIFE IN THE
UNIVERSE... WE'RE INFANTS.
THAT'S ALL WE'LL EVER
BE... ALL WE EVER WERE.
CAN YOU CALCULATE THE
ODDS OF BEING BOTH? I'M...
I'M SO... SO LUCKY, FRANK, TO BE
BORN NOW. THE THINGS THEY'VE TOLD ME,
THE RESPONSIBILITY, FRANK.
JUST TO KNOW IS ENOUGH. TO...
TO SEE IT... HAVING THE CHANCE
TO WITNESS... I'M SO FRIGHTENED.
TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO
WATCH IT HAPPEN, BUT...
BUT WE'LL... BUT WE'LL
BE ALL RIGHT. WE...
WE CAN'T BE BORN JUST
TO DIE. WE KNEW THIS WAS
COMING, RIGHT? WE'VE
KNOWN FOR TWO MILLENNIA.
"BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND THOSE
WHO HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY...
AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE
WRITTEN IN IT; FOR THE TIME IS NEAR."
RICHARD, I'M HONORED. YOU OFFERED
ME A JOB WITH YOU IN THE TRUST.
BUT I HAVE TO REMAIN
WITH THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
CAN YOU SAY WHY?
FRANK, GET OUT.
GET AWAY.
WHEN WE INVESTIGATED LARA
MEANS'S WHEREABOUTS FOR YOU,
WE MADE SOME DISCOVERIES ABOUT
MILLENNIUM THAT SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME.
THEY'RE WATCHING US.
BUT YOU SHOULD BE
AWARE THAT THEY'VE...
RECENTLY BEGUN INTENSE
SURVEILLANCE ON PETER WATTS.
AND ANY GROUP WHO SO CLOSELY MONITORS
THEIR OWN MEMBERS SHOULD BE FEARED.
I AM CERTAIN OF
ONE THING, FRANK.
I'LL BE WATCHIN' YOUR BACK.
BE WELL, RICHARD.
HOW IS IT DECIDED...
WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES?
MAYBE, INDIVIDUALLY,
WE'RE ALLOTTED ONLY
SO MANY DAYS OF LIFE.
MAYBE, AS A WHOLE,
MANKIND IS ONLY ALLOTTED
SO MANY DAYS OF LIFE.
SO YOU SEE,
IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE
THE PLAN FOR MANKIND,
THE DEATH OF
ONE INDIVIDUAL IS...
ABSOLUTELY... INCONSEQUENTIAL.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP...
IS NOT CONCERNED WITH
ANY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL LIFE.
DO YOU SEE WHERE
I'M GOING WITH THIS?
OUR RESPONSIBILITY... AND REMEMBER
THAT WORD. IT'LL COME UP AGAIN.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE
LIFE OF THE WHOLE OF MANKIND.
AND SO WE MUST PROCEED IN A
MANNER THAT INCREASES THE ODDS...
OF THAT SURVIVAL.
SOUNDS LIKE A PARADOX.
BUT IT IS THE VERY NATURE
OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IF ONE LIFE APPEARS
TO INTERFERE...
WITH OUR PROTECTION
OF BILLIONS OF LIVES,
THEN... IT REALLY
BECOMES A NO-BRAINER.
AND THE COURAGE TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THOSE LIVES...
THAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT.
AS YOU ARE TO BECOME A
MEMBER OF THE MILLENNIUM GROUP...
THERE WILL BE A CONSTANT
DANGER TO YOURSELF...
MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY...
IN THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.
JUST THE SIMPLE ACT OF
COMPREHENDING THE REALITY...
OF THE EVENTS BEFORE US
CAN CAUSE SOME TO BREAK.
COME ON. COME ON!
AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT BROKEN BY THE
DANGER AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KNOWING,
COMES THE INTENSITY
OF LIVING WITH THAT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES...
AND THE ACTIONS WHICH
MUST BE TAKEN TO ACHIEVE...
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP'S
SUCCESS OF PURPOSE.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE.
LONG TIME.
THIS IS NO WAY TO MEET UP AGAIN.
DID YOU EXAMINE THIS? OF COURSE.
NOTHING.
I WAS POSITIVE THIS
WAS NO ACCIDENT.
ALL OF US IN THE TRUST CHECKED
THE CAR WITH THE INTENT...
ON FINDING THE EVIDENCE TO
PROVE OUR SUSPICIONS, BUT...
NO FOREIGN SUBSTANCES
OR OBJECTS IN THE BRAKE LINE,
NO EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING ON
THE PADS, DISC OR WHEEL DRUMS.
NO ONE CAN TELL ME
THAT THE SAME NIGHT THAT
RICHARD INFORMS ME THE
GROUP IS WATCHING US,
HE DIES IN A CAR WRECK.
FRANK, DEATH IS
NEVER CONVENIENT...
NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
THE TIMING OR THE NEED FOR A REASON.
SOMETIMES IT'S JUST AS
SIMPLE AS... OUR TIME IS UP.
THERE ARE STRANGE REPORTS OUT OF
THE EASTERN REGION OF CHINA NEAR JINAN...
IN WHICH AN ENTIRE VILLAGE OF FARMERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE FOUND DEAD TODAY.
INFORMATION IS SKETCHY, WITH CAUSES
BEING ATTRIBUTED TO EVERYTHING...
FROM MASS SUICIDE
TO A TOXIC SPILL.
- YOU PUT YOURSELF AT RISK
COMING HERE.
- WE'RE ALL AT RISK.
LARA MEANS. I HEARD A MESSAGE.
SHE'S IN A VOLATILE
STATE... SOMETIMES
HAPPENS AFTER BEING
INITIATED INTO THE GROUP.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU IF
YOU INTEND TO BECOME A MEMBER.
- I'LL NEVER STOP QUESTIONING.
- WELL, YOU MADE ME
START QUESTIONING.
YOU CAN STOP LOOKIN' FOR
EVIDENCE HERE. THEY DIDN'T DO THIS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP'S OCCUPIED WITH
SOMETHING FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN GILBERT.
YOU TRIED TO GET INFORMATION
ABOUT THE MARBURG VIRUS...
FROM THE GROUP'S DATABASE,
BUT IT WAS LEVEL BLUE CLEARANCE.
YES. I DID.
AFTER YOU SHOWED ME THE
MEDICAL TESTS YOU HAD DONE,
WHICH TO ME INDICATED THAT WE HAD
BEEN INOCULATED WITHOUT OUR BEING AWARE,
I NEEDED TO KNOW
INOCULATED AGAINST WHAT.
SO...
SINCE IT APPEARS THAT I NO
LONGER HAVE LEVEL BLUE CLEARANCE,
I BROKE INTO GROUP ARCHIVES AND STOLE
SOME OF THE OLD MAN'S PERSONAL EFFECTS...
SPECIFICALLY, RECORDED TRANSMISSION
AND HIS SECURITY ACCESS PHRASE.
I EDITED THE TRANSMISSION. I MATCHED
HIS VOICE CODE. I GOT INTO LEVEL BLUE,
AND I LOOKED UP
THE MARBURG VIRUS.
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
IT APPEARS TO LIVE IN AN
UNKNOWN ANIMAL HOST...
SOMEWHERE IN THE KITUM
CAVE REGION OF EAST AFRICA.
THE SOVIETS' BIOPREPARAT SENT
MEN INTO THE JUNGLE TO FIND IT.
JORDAN KEEPS HAVING THESE
REOCCURRING DREAMS ABOUT MONKEYS.
FRANK, YOUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T JUST
DREAM. YOU MUST KNOW THAT BY NOW.
WHAT ABOUT THE RUSSIANS?
THE OBJECT WAS TO CREATE A
DEVASTATING BIOLOGICAL WEAPON.
THE VIRUS IS GENETICALLY
LABILE. IT COULD EXCHANGE GENES...
WITH PLAGUE, ANTHRAX,
SMALLPOX, FLU STRAINS,
WHICH CREATES VARIANT
VIRUSES AGAINST WHICH A
HUMAN POPULATION HAS
NO IMMUNOLOGICAL DEFENSE.
WEAPONS-GRADE ANTHRAX
TAKES APPROXIMATELY...
8,000 MICROSCOPIC SPORES
TO INTRODUCE AN INFECTION.
THE MARBURG VARIANT THEY
CREATED IN THE LAB TAKES THREE.
NOW, IN 1982, PRIONS
WERE DISCOVERED.
AND A PRION IS A PROTEIN.
IT HAS NO R.N.A., NO LIFE.
SO IT WOULD MAKE
THE PERFECT WEAPON.
IT'S IMMUNE TO ANTIBIOTICS, ENZYMES. IT
CAN WITHSTAND THE HEAT OF OVER 600 DEGREES.
A MARBURG VARIANT VIRUS WAS
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED WITH A PRION,
THEREBY CREATING A BIOLOGICAL AGENT
THAT WOULD KILL QUICKLY, SPREAD RAPIDLY,
AND IF THE VIRUS WERE NEUTRALIZED, THE
FUSED PRION WOULD FINISH OFF THE HOST.
WHEN THE SOVIET UNION FELL,
THE BIOWEAPONS FACILITY
NEAR PEKA WAS ABANDONED.
THE VIRUS... MARBURG
VARIANT P.R.P...
A MANMADE LIFE-FORM THAT HAD NEVER
BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT... LEAKED.
BIRDS IN THE AREA... AND BIRDS WERE
ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE... BECAME INFECTED.
AND OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS THEY
MIGRATED TO ALASKA, TO NORTHERN CANADA,
TO THE AMERICAN UPPER MIDWEST.
IN 1986, A WISCONSIN FARMER AND HIS
ENTIRE FLOCK OF HENS DIED FROM ITS EFFECTS.
SO IT HAD UNDERGONE
ANTIGENIC DRIFT...
IT COULD BE TRANSMITTED
FROM BIRDS TO HUMANS.
BUT THEN AS SOON AS THAT
HAPPENED, THE VIRUS DISAPPEARED.
THE VIRUS... YOU'RE
TELLING ME IT'S BACK?
- THE MAN WE FOUND
BY THE RIVER LAST WEEK?
- YEAH.
A FAMILY NEAR SAN
DIEGO A FEW DAYS AGO.
A VILLAGE IN CHINA YESTERDAY.
A TOWN IN SOUTH AMERICA TODAY.
THE GROUP HAS A VACCINE.
THEY GAVE IT TO US.
YEAH. AFTER '86, THEY...
DEVELOPED A VACCINE THAT WOULD KEEP THE
VIRUS IN CHECK ONCE IT ENTERED THE BODY.
- SO PEOPLE CAN BE INOCULATED.
- THERE WOULD NEVER
BE ENOUGH MATERIAL...
TO DEVELOP A UNIVERSAL VACCINE.
- THEY... THEY ONLY MADE ENOUGH
FOR GROUP MEMBERS.
- AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND THE FAMILIES, PETER.
IT WAS ALWAYS...
ABOUT CONTROL, FRANK.
THEY'RE GONNA EXPECT US TO
STAY WITH 'EM NOW THAT THEY'VE...
PROTECTED US FROM THIS PLAGUE.
SO, WATCHING OUR FAMILIES DIE...
THAT'S PROTECTING US?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
GET YOUR FAMILY. I HAVE A
PLACE WHERE WE CAN STAY.
LARA MEANS... CAN
YOU CONTACT HER?
"THE REVELATION OF JESUS
CHRIST, WHICH GOD GAVE HIM...
"TO SHOW HIS SERVANTS... THINGS
WHICH MUST SHORTLY TAKE PLACE.
"AND HE SAID AND
SIGNIFIED IT BY HIS ANGEL...
"TO HIS SERVANT JOHN,
"WHO BORE WITNESS
TO THE WORD OF GOD,
"AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS
CHRIST, TO ALL THINGS THAT HE SAW.
"BLESSED IS HE WHO READS AND THOSE
WHO HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY,
AND KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE
WRITTEN IN IT; FOR THE TIME IS NEAR."
FORGET IT, WATTS.
SHE'S COMIN' WITH ME.
"'I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA,
THE FIRST AND THE LAST.'"
YES. FRANK?
PETER. WHAT'S UP?
PETER? WHERE ARE YOU?
WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?
COME ON.
GEIBELHOUSE. LISTEN. I NEED YOU
TO TRACK PETER WATTS'S CELL PHONE.
NO. NO. NOW.
NOW. ALL RIGHT. CALL ME BACK.

SINCE LAST WEDNESDAY'S
OUTBREAK IS ESTIMATED AT 500.
UNDER THE ADVISEMENT OF THE
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL...
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON...
HAVE DECLARED KING, PIERCE
AND THURSTON COUNTIES...
QUARANTINED AREAS
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
THE C.D.C. ADMITS TO NOT HAVING
IDENTIFIED AN INFECTIOUS AGENT...
OR CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.
THEY ADVISE DRINKING
ONLY BOTTLED WATER...
ORIGINATING FROM
OUT OF THIS AREA.
DO NOT GO OUTSIDE. HELLO?
- CATHERINE?
- WHERE ARE YOU NOW? I'VE BEEN
CALLING YOU ALL NIGHT.
PACK UP ALL THE PROVISIONS
YOU CAN. I'LL BE THERE IN AN HOUR.
- WE NEED YOU HERE NOW.
- I'LL LOAD UP THE VAN. DON'T
YOU AND JORDAN GO OUTSIDE.
LARA,
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE...
NOT MY WIFE, NOT MY FAMILY...
WHO EVER UNDERSTOOD.
ONLY YOU.
I'VE TRAVELED THAT ROAD,
LARA, THAT YOU'RE ON.
WHAT I SAW MADE ME SWEAR THAT I
WOULD... RATHER DIE THAN RETURN.
OH, I KNOW PEACE
CAN BE FOUND THERE.
AND IF YOU DO...
IF YOU DO FIND IT...
I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER RETURN.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OUR NEW YELLOW HOUSE.
UGH.
CAN WE GO HOME NOW? WE'RE GONNA
BE HERE FOR A WHILE, SWEETHEART.
OKAY. COME ON, SWEETIE.
UGH. UGH.
MOMMY, I'LL BE RIGHT
OUTSIDE. OKAY, SWEETIE.
CATHERINE.
IN THE MIDDLE AGES,
DURING THE BLACK PLAGUE,
PEOPLE USED TO
GATHER THEIR FAMILIES,
TAKE 'EM TO THE
MOUNTAINS OR THE FORESTS.
THEY WOULD POST GUARDS
ENCIRCLING THEIR CAMPS,
AND THEY WOULD KILL
ANYBODY THAT APPEARED.
THE ONES THAT PRACTICED THIS
BEHAVIOR... THEY SURVIVED THE OUTBREAK.
THE EARLY SYMPTOMS, WHICH
A VICTIM MAY NOT RECOGNIZE,
INCLUDE A SENSE
OF DISORIENTATION.
MONITOR ANY INCREASE IN BODY
TEMPERATURE. BE AWARE OF A LOW-GRADE FEVER.
SECONDARY SYMPTOMS, WHICH MAY TAKE
ONLY HOURS OR EVEN MINUTES TO APPEAR...
CAN WE TURN IT OFF? YEAH.
BLACKISH PAPULES NEAR THE...
GOD.
LOOK AT HER.
WHAT IF SHE GETS SICK?
UM... HOW CAN WE LET
HER GO THROUGH THAT?
WE WOULDN'T.
IF I GET SICK...
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO WATCH ME DIE.
HEY... I DON'T WANT
HER TO WATCH ME DIE.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO... WHAT?
I COULDN'T DO THAT. I COULDN'T.
YOU HAVE TO. NO, NO, NO. LOOK
AT ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH.
WHAT ARE YOU ASKING
ME? WOULDN'T YOU WANT...
I WOULDN'T ASK YOU TO DO
THAT. I'D GO OUT IN THE WOODS.
I'D JUST...
I WOULDN'T ASK YOU
TO DO THAT. I WOULDN'T.
IF YOU BOTH BECAME
SICK, I-I WOULDN'T...
I WOULDN'T WANT
TO LIVE AFTER THAT.
I CAN'T GET SICK.
IT WAS DONE TO ME,
AND I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT.
THE GROUP GAVE ME A VACCINE.
THEY KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY KNOW.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT IT?
IT'S A VIRUS, AND IT MAY BE IT LOSES ITS
VIRULENCE. IT BECOMES... IT FADES AWAY.
OR MAYBE THEY'RE GONNA GIVE IT
TO THE GOVERNMENT. I DON'T KNOW.
THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY
HAD ENOUGH FOR THEIR MEMBERS.
OH, MY GOD.
LARA MEANS GOT A SENSE OF
WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN TO HER.
WE GOTTA GIVE IT TO JORDAN.
RIGHT AWAY.
I LOVE YOU.
