Millennium (1996–1999): Season 2, Episode 3 - Sense and Antisense - full transcript
A taxi picks up a middle-aged man standing out in the rain. Once in the cab, the man begins ranting semi-coherently and coughing up blood, so the driver takes him to an emergency room. Soon after checking in, two men claiming to be from the CDC say that the patient is infected with a highly dangerous pathogen and must be taken away, but the man has already escaped with the taxi driver. Frank and Lt. Gebelhouse are asked by the CDC to assist in tracking then pair down before they can infect anyone else. In the course of catching the two, Frank comes in contact with Patient Zero's blood, exposing him to whatever disease the man is infected with. What Frank learns when the bloodstain is examined will reveal that a much larger conspiracy is taking place.
CAB!
CAB! CAB!
TAXI! TAXI!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
NO NEED FOR THAT.
I'D HAVE STOPPED FOR YOU.
YEAH, BUDDY. I KNOW THE GAME.
EVERYONE SUDDENLY OFF DUTY.
RIGHT? AND IT'S NOT
JUST THE WHITE CATS, MAN.
SOME BROTHERS PLAY THAT TOO.
YEAH, MAN. DON'T NOBODY
CARE ABOUT NOBODY NO MORE.
THE COLOR DON'T EVEN MATTER.
BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW, WHITE.
DON'T MATTER. EVERYONE ONLY
WORRIES ABOUT THEIR OWN INTERESTS.
MAN! TRUCKS!
DON'T BLEED ON MY SEATS, MAN.
THEY MAKE ME CLEAN THAT UP.
TRUCKS!
I-I PICKED HIM UP IN MY CAB.
HE WAS GOIN' ON ABOUT...
220. PEOPLE... PEOPLE
DOIN' STUFF TO HIM.
- WHAT STUFF?
- I DON'T KNOW. TWO GUYS
AFTER HIM OR SOMETHIN'.
HE KEPT SAYIN',
"TRUCKS! THE TRUCKS!"
240.
OH!
260 OVER 140. THIS GUY'S
GONNA STROKE OUT ON US.
I NEED AN I.V. PUSH. POINT
FOUR MILLIGRAM NITRO PATCH.
ANYBODY. I'M OPEN TO IDEAS.
HAVE YOU ADMITTED THIS MAN?
I TAKE IT YOU'RE NOT
IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
THEY JUST TOOK HIM INTO TRAUMA.
140 OVER 90.
HE'S GONNA SLEEP A LONG TIME.
THERE'S NO NEED TO STICK AROUND.
TRUCKS. TRUCKS.
THEY WANNA KILL ME.
WHOA! HOLD UP, FELLAS.
I CAN'T LET YOU IN HERE.
WHERE'S YOUR I.D.? THIS IS AN
EMERGENCY ROOM. WHERE IS HE?
WHO?
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP. WE'RE FROM
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL.
THIS AREA IS UNDER QUARANTINE.
NOBODY GOES IN OR OUT.
COMPLETE BODY FLUID
PRECAUTIONS ARE TO BE EXERCISED.
SO, WHAT TYPE OF
CALLS ARE THESE?
ARE THEY, LIKE, PHONE
CARD SOLICITATIONS?
OR ARE THEY, LIKE, THE, UH, "DO YOU
HAVE PRINCE ALBERT IN A CAN" VARIETY?
OR ARE THEY, LIKE, A GUY BREATHING
AND, YOU KNOW, TREATING HIMSELF?
THEY'RE NOT CALLS.
JUST HANG-UPS.
WELL, I'M CONNECTING AN ECBH-79
CALLER IDENTIFICATION UNIT TO YOUR PHONE.
THE DIGITAL READOUT
WILL REFLECT THE PHONE
NUMBER OF THE PERSON
OR PERSONS CALLING YOU...
AND PUT AN END TO
THIS HARASSMENT.
YOU OWE ME 65 BUCKS.
- IS THAT YOUR FAMILY?
- MM-HMM.
YOUR WIFE'S A TOTAL BABE-A-LICIOUS.
NO WONDER YOU'RE GETTIN' CALLS.
HELLO? THIS IS IT.
ARE YOU READY? HELLO?
HELLO?
WELL, OBVIOUSLY WHOEVER
CALLED HAS BLOCKED CALLER I.D.
THE PHONE COMPANY
DOES IT FOR A PRICE.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
ALL YOU NEED NOW...
IS A DEVICE TO UNDO
THEIR CALLER BLOCK.
THE LMU-83 WILL OVERRIDE
THEIR OVERRIDE VERY NICELY.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE
JAMES BONDIAN,
BUT WE ARE LIVING IN A
MORE BLOFELDIAN WORLD.
JUST HOOK IT UP, Q.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.
DO YOU KNOW A
DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE?
HEY, GEIBELHOUSE.
I HOPE THE MILLENNIUM GROUP
DOESN'T MIND I BROUGHT YOU IN ON THIS.
THESE DISEASE CONTROL
GUYS GIVE ME THE CREEPS.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS
PATIENT ZERO CARRYING?
THEY'RE KEEPIN' TIGHT-LIPPED, WHICH
OF COURSE DRIVES MY GUYS NUTS.
AFRAID IF IT LEAKS OUT, WE
COULD START A PUBLIC PANIC.
ANY LUCK WITH THE CAB
DRIVER? GOOD AND BAD.
THE GOOD LUCK IS WE GOT THE
CABBY'S NAME. GEROME KNOX.
THE BAD LUCK IS HE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR
WORK, AND HE'S NOT AT HIS APARTMENT.
WORST LUCK, IF HE'S HIDIN' ZERO,
WE NOW GOT TWO INFECTED GUYS.
THE SUBJECT THAT WE'RE SEARCHING
FOR HAS BEEN DESIGNATED PATIENT ZERO.
TWO DAYS AGO, ZERO APPEARED...
AT THE OLYMPIA PLASMA CENTER,
SUFFERING FROM DELUSIONS,
HALLUCINATIONS AND ECHOPRAXIA.
HE WANTED TO SELL HIS BLOOD,
WHICH A ROUTINE PANEL SHOWED...
TO BE POSITIVE FOR MANY THINGS.
THEY TURNED HIM OVER TO US,
AND WE FOUND WHAT WE BELIEVE
IS A HEMORRHAGIC PATHOGEN...
PREVIOUSLY FOUND
ONLY IN THE CONGO,
SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE
TO FILOVIRUS SIMIAN.
ARE WE TALKIN' WEARIN' THE YELLOW SPACE
SUITS HERE? THE WHOLE OUTBREAK NUMBER?
WE'RE HOPEFUL THIS IS
LIMITED TO BODY FLUIDS.
- HOPEFUL?
- GINELLI!
SIMMER DOWN.
THERE'S NO WAY I GO CHASING SOME TOXIC
BOONGE UNTIL I GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER.
WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY?
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC.
ONE NEAT ASPECT.
EVEN IN HIS HURRY TO ESCAPE,
THIS MAN TOOK THE TIME...
TO FOLD FIVE PIECES OF SURGICAL
TAPE BACK ON THEMSELVES,
LEAVING NOTHING STICKY EXPOSED.
I'VE SEEN THIS IN
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS.
ONE NEAT ASPECT IN A
DISORGANIZED PICTURE.
SO HE'S A NEAT FREAK. HOW
DOES THAT HELP US FIND HIM?
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER
THIS MAN A FUGITIVE RUNNING FROM US.
IF HE WAS HIDING, HE WOULDN'T
HAVE TALKED TO THE CAB DRIVER.
I THINK HE WANTS TO
BE SEEN AND HEARD,
AND HE WANTS TO TELL HIS STORY.
THE CAB PICKED HIM
UP AT YESLER AND 3rd.
THAT'S A BLOCK AND A HALF
FROM THE SEATTLE TRIBUNE.
THE TRUTH IS NOT OUT THERE.
A GUY LIKE THIS STARTS
CRAZY TALKIN', I CALL JANITORIAL.
USUALLY ENDS WITH HIM
WHIPPIN' IT OUT AND TAKIN' A WHIZ...
RIGHT ABOUT WHERE
YOU'RE STANDIN'.
DID YOU SEE THIS GUY
BEFORE LAST NIGHT? NO.
AND WORKIN' LATE SHIFT, YOU
GET TO KNOW ALL THE NUT-BALLS.
- SUPPRESSIVES!
- 11:18.
JUST BEFORE KNOX
PICKS HIM UP IN HIS CAB.
SO I TELL HIM THE SEATTLE TRIBUNE
DOESN'T WANT HIS CRAZY-ASS STORY.
WATCH THIS PART. GUY GOES
BANANAS. D.O.E.! COINTEL PRO!
TRUCKLOADS! TRUCKLOADS!
TRUCKLOADS OF
JOHN DOES VANISHING!
A LOT OF PERSONNEL
FOR ONE LUNATIC.
WHAT, HE KILL SOME RICH GUY?
HE SHOWS UP AGAIN...
HE WON'T.
HE'LL GO ELSEWHERE.
HE'LL GO SOMEPLACE OPEN TO
HEARING WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
TUSKEGEE! IF YOU SAY SO.
THEY DENIED!
APOLOGIZED! THEN DENIED!
MK-ULTRA! COINTEL
PRO! OSHA! D.O.E.!
HEY, MAN, WRITE THIS

HE DON'T HAVE TO WRITE

- HOLD THE PHONE.
HEY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
OKAY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
- HEY, MAN, TELL HIM
ABOUT THE TRUCKS.
- HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE TRUCKS.
HEY, MAN, YOU SUPPOSED
TO BE A REPORTER, BROTHER.
I'M TELLIN' YOU, SOMEONE'S
OPPRESSING THIS MAN!
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
A WEEK I HEAR THAT, BROTHER?
AND FROM EVERYONE.
ASIANS SAY IT'S BLACK PEOPLE.
BLACK PEOPLE SAY IT'S WHITE PEOPLE.
WHITE PEOPLE SAY
IT'S EXTRATERRESTRIAL.
NO, MAN. I SAW TWO GUYS
AFTER HIM AT THE HOSPITAL.
TWO GUYS AT A HOSPITAL
AIN'T PROOF OF A DAMN THING.
HE COULD BE A CRIMINAL
FOR ALL I KNOW, OR YOU KNOW!
HIM? MAN, THEY'RE THE CRIMINALS!
MAN, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK. I
KNOW IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW,
BUT THIS MAN IS COMIN'
FROM A POETIC PLACE.
HEAR ME, MAN. LISTEN, MAN.
THIRTY YEARS AGO, PEOPLE
SAID THE U.S. GOVERNMENT...
WAS USING BLACK MEN AS AN
EXPERIMENT TO DIE OF SYPHILIS...
WAS JUST ANOTHER WHACKED-OUT
CONSPIRACY THEORY LIKE...
LIKE ALIENS OR
SOMETHIN'. TUSKEGEE!
TUSKEGEE! TUSKEGEE!
TUSKEGEE'S OVER, MAN. THE
PRESIDENT HAS APOLOGIZED.
THIS MAN NEEDS AN APOLOGY...
IF HE LIVES TO HEAR IT.
NO!
DO YOU HEAR ME, MAN?
YOU JUST GONNA IGNORE ME?
OKAY, LET'S DO IT.
THEY'RE COMIN'.
HERE. DOWN THE HALL.
LAST DOOR DOWN
THE HALL. COME ON!
TAKE THE BLUE IMPALA!
AND THE STORY'S OURS!
THIS WAY! THIS WAY! COME ON!
HE'S WITH THEM! NO, NO, NO, NO.
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
GET OUT OF THE WAY! YEAH!
HOLD IT! THIS IS A
PLACE OF BUSINESS.
YOU ARE NOW STANDING IN A
PUBLIC PART OF THAT PLACE.
NOW, THE REST OF THIS
BUILDING IS PRIVATE AND
OFF-LIMITS TO YOU
WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT.
HOW'S THIS?
WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU.
I WANNA HELP YOU.
NOTHIN'.
EASY DOES IT, GUY.

FRANK.
CRIME LAB TESTED THE
STAIN ON YOUR SHIRT.
WHAT DID THEY FIND? NOTHIN'.
NO VIRUS. IT'S CLEAN
AS A KICKER'S UNIFORM.
YOU SURE IT WASN'T YOUR
BLOOD? NO, DEFINITELY HIS.
WHAT ABOUT THE CENTERS
FOR DISEASE CONTROL?
THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO
I WAS TALKIN' ABOUT.
THE PLASMA CENTER DOESN'T HAVE
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS EITHER.
THEN WHO WAS AFTER HIM?
FRANK, THE GUY WAS NUTS.
CONSPIRACY THIS,
CONSPIRACY THAT.
WE WENT TO HIS OFFICE. I WORKED
FOR THEM. THAT WASN'T HIS DELUSION.
AND NOW THAT OFFICE IS GONE.
WE WERE USED,
GEIBS. HE KNEW THAT.
HOW COULD HE KNOW THAT?
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON BESIDE
KNOX WHO SAID I WANTED TO HELP HIM.
HE WANTED TO HELP ME. SO HE WANTED ME TO
KNOW THAT THEY WERE LYING ABOUT THE VIRUS.
THAT'S WHY HE GAVE
ME THE BLOOD SAMPLE.
AND I GAVE HIM UP TO... I
DON'T KNOW WHO OR WHY.
HELLO? MR. BLACK?
IT'S ROEDECKER.
BRIAN ROEDECKER. IS
THE LMU-83 FUNCTIONAL?
ANONYMOUS. - HMM.
ACTIVATE THE SWITCH
ON THE SIDE OF THE LMU-83.
GOT IT, GOT IT, GOT IT.
THANK YOU, ROEDECKER.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE.
SUPPRESSIVE! OPPRESSIVE!
THE F.B.I.! C.I.A.!
COINTEL PRO!
TRUCKLOADS!
TRUCKLOADS OF JOHN DOES!
THE D.O.E.! THE A.C.T.G.!
SENSE! ANTISENSE!
THE A.C.T.G.!
WHO IS THIS? WHO
THE HELL IS THIS?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME YOU TOOK THIS JOB?
- I WASN'T CURRENTLY
ON A CASE WITH THE GROUP.
- WE'RE ALWAYS ON CALL.
I'M ONLY OFFICIALLY A
CONSULTANT WITH THE MILLENNIUM.
I'M TRYIN' TO FEED
MY FAMILY, PETE.
THE SITUATION WITH CATHERINE
HAS CREATED NEW RESPONSIBILITIES.
I'VE GOT TWO OF EVERYTHING.
TWO SETS OF TOYS, TWO
RENTALS AND A HOUSE.
WE WORK TOGETHER, FRANK.
YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO US.
IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE A SITUATION
THE GROUP WOULD BE INTERESTED IN.
AN INFECTED TRANSIENT.
ESSENTIALLY, A MISSING PERSON.
IT APPEARED TO HAVE
NO DEEPER MEANING.
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT. WE
WOULD'VE PASSED ON IT.
BUT NOW IT DOES HAVE A DEEPER MEANING,
AND NOT JUST THE OBVIOUS CONSPIRACY.
THEY USED YOU AND GEIBELHOUSE,
BELIEVING THAT WHEN YOU REALIZED...
THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR
ACTIONS, YOU WOULD WALK AWAY.
THAT'S WHY I'M WORKING ON MAKING YOU
MORE THAN "OFFICIALLY A CONSULTANT."
BECAUSE YOU AND I, THE GROUP,
WE DON'T WALK AWAY.
THIS ISN'T EVEN ABOUT MONEY NOW.
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MAN.
WE'LL TAKE THE CASE.
I'LL SEND THIS OVER TO
OUR PHOTO LAB. LOOK HERE.
IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN
RETOUCHED. THEY'RE HIDING SOMETHING.
A TATTOO, DOG
TAGS, I DON'T KNOW.
"ANTISENSE."
A REOCCURRING
TROPE. IN MICROBIOLOGY,
THE ANTISENSE IS ONE
SIDE OF THE DOUBLE HELIX.
IT'S HALF OUR D.N.A. THE
OTHER SIDE IS CALLED SENSE.
OUR GENETIC MATTER. "IT IS IN
US." THAT'S WHAT HE KEEPS SAYING.
ALTHOUGH HOW HE CAME
UP WITH IT, I DON'T KNOW.
DATANINE. CYTOSINE. THIAMINE.
HERE.
GUANINE. THE FOUR
NUCLEOTIDES OF D.N.A.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL CATCH UP WITH
YOU GUYS AT THE HOLE TONIGHT.
- AAH!
- NICE CAB. BRAND-NEW.
THEY TOOK MINE IN FOR REPAIRS.
YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.
- LOOK, I'M OFF DUTY.
- I'M NOT.
I ALREADY TALKED
TO YOUR FRIENDS.
MY FRIENDS DON'T LIE TO ME.
MY FRIENDS TELL ME THE TRUTH.
HE TRUSTED YOU. HE MUST HAVE
TOLD YOU WHO WAS AFTER HIM.
THAT'S EASY. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
YEAH. THEY USED YOU.
NOW YOU KNOW HOW
I FEEL EVERY DAY.
TELL ME, MAN, AM I INFECTED?
THERE WAS NO VIRUS IN HIS BODY.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. SO
HE WAS TELLIN' THE TRUTH.
YOU TELL ME.
"TRUCKS. TRUCKS."
HE KEPT SAYIN' THE TRUCKS WAS
AFTER HIM OR SOMETHIN'. I DON'T KNOW.
TALKED ABOUT JOHN DOES.
HE KEPT SAYIN',
"WE'RE ALL VANISHING.
WE'RE ALL JOHN DOES."
HERE'S MY PHONE NUMBER.
IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING,
YOU GIVE ME A CALL, ALL RIGHT?
SO, WHERE YOU GOIN'?
TO MEET JOHN DOE.
WE GET A LOT.
A COUPLE HUNDRED A YEAR.
STREET BUMS, TRANSIENTS MOSTLY.
USUALLY SOMEONE COMES FORWARD...
A FAMILY MEMBER, WHATEVER.
MOST DON'T STAY
JOHN DOES FOR LONG.
THE EYE. DILATED IRIS.
JUST LIKE PATIENT ZERO.
COULD THEY BE USING THESE
PEOPLE FOR SOME EXPERIMENT,
THEN SLIPPING THEM THROUGH
THE MORGUE WHEN THEY'RE DONE?
USING THE SYSTEM TO GO
UNDETECTED BECAUSE NO ONE CARES.
MAY WE SIT IN ON YOUR
AUTOPSY, DR. CLARK?
GENTLEMEN, WE DON'T AUTOPSY UNLESS
SOMETHING LOOKS TO BE OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
DILATED EYE USUALLY INDICATES
ORGANIC BRAIN DAMAGE.
WELL, BRAIN-DAMAGED STREET
PEOPLE, THAT'S KIND OF BY DEFINITION.
I WOULD LIKE BLOOD
SAMPLES ON THIS MAN...
AND ANY OTHER JOHN DOES THAT
COME THROUGH HERE WITH A DILATED EYE.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO FIND?
NOTHING.
OKAY, DROP IT. PUT IT DOWN.
SIR, I NEED YOU TO
PUT THE BAR DOWN.
I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU!
SIR, I NEED YOU TO RELAX.
I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU!
PUT THE BAR DOWN. JUST PUT IT
DOWN AND NOBODY WILL GET HURT.
JUST PUT IT DOWN.
I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!
I DON'T KNOW HOW!
I CAN SEE YOU'RE
UPSET. I WANNA HELP.
PUT THE BAR DOWN.
NOBODY'S GONNA HURT YOU.
GOOD. YOU'RE MAKIN' A WISE CALL.
HE'S GOT SOMETHING!
ALL CENTRAL AREA
UNITS, BACKUP NEEDED...
CRIME SCENE. MOVE OUT OF HERE.
- I'M FRANK BLACK.
- AND I'M JOE YELLOW.
GO ON, OUT. DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE
TOLD US HE'D MEET US HERE.
WELL, EVEN IF THAT WAS A
REAL NAME, HE AIN'T HERE.
THIS IS AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS
INVESTIGATION. WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?
LIEUTENANT WOBANLOTNEY.
- CAN WE TALK WITH HIM?
- LEAVE IT HERE.
WHAT WAS IT?
WOBANLOTNEY OR SOMETHIN'.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
LIEUTENANT? OKAY.
WOBANLOTNEY?
LIFE FORCE TRUCK
73 RESPOND TO...
ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS 210.
THAT'S 210 GREENWOOD
AVENUE NORTH.
ENGINE 15, CAN YOU RESPOND
TO A NON-EMERGENCY...
AT PARKING STRUCTURE
800 WEST ELK?
HOLD ON. LET ME
JUST GET THIS DOWN.
ALL RIGHT, UH, WHO'S
GONNA HANDLE THE SWEEP?
LIFE FORCE FOUR, RESPOND
TO VICTIM OF A FALL,
NORTHEAST 110 AT SAND POINT.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHIN'.
YEAH, JUST SIGN OFF ON THIS, OKAY?
DID YOU GET A SAMPLE?
YEAH.
ANOTHER JOHN DOE OUT OF CONTROL?
HE'S NOT A JOHN
DOE. LOOK AT THE TAG.
"D.O.E."
ABBREVIATION. IT
STANDS FOR SOMETHING.
"DEAD ON EXAMINATION"?
D.O.E. THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
EASY, FRANK. ANOTHER
LEAP LIKE THAT,
AND YOU'LL CONNECT ALL THIS TO WHY
OSWALD WASN'T IN THE BOOK DEPOSITORY.
THE D.O.E. STARTED AS THE ATOMIC
ENERGY COMMISSION. BUILT THE ATOMIC BOMB.
THEN RADIATION
EXPERIMENTS ON HUMANS.
TESTS ON VULNERABLE GROUPS...
PRISONERS, MENTALLY RETARDED.
THEY'VE HISTORICALLY DEVELOPED
UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPONS.
YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY'VE GOTTEN INTO NOW.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT IS A VAST
UNDERTAKING OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY...
EXPECTED TO
PRODUCE A BLUEPRINT...
OF THE FUNCTIONAL AND EVOLUTIONARY
HISTORY OF THE HUMAN SPECIES.
THE GOAL OF THIS INTERNATIONAL
15-YEAR COORDINATED EFFORT...
IS TO DISCOVER ALL OF
THE 50,000 HUMAN GENES...
AND RENDER THEM ACCESSIBLE
FOR FURTHER BIOLOGICAL STUDY.
"FOR FURTHER BIOLOGICAL STUDY."
YEAH. I FOUND ANOTHER ONE.
THIS GUY IS KIND OF
WORSHIPED DOWN HERE.
I'D HEARD ABOUT HIM ON THE
STREETS EVEN BEFORE ZERO.
I'D ALWAYS WRITTEN HIM OFF,
THOUGH, AS JUST ANOTHER CASUALTY.
THEN I FINALLY HEARD HIM.
NOW YOU SHOULD TOO.
COME HERE.
AFTER YOU. HE'S JUST DOWN THERE.
NOWHERE ON PLANET EARTH
ARE PEOPLE FREE OF THE DRUGS!
NO!
THEY TRAVELED ACROSS
RWANDA DIRT ROADS.
THEY RIDE ON KUWAITI HIGHWAYS.
THEY MOVE THROUGH
THESE CITY STREETS!
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
DO YOU HEAR THEM?
THE TRUCKS DON'T CARE.
THEY DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE A
FIRE TRUCK OR A DUMP TRUCK.
THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE A
CARGO TRUCK OR A TOW TRUCK.
THEY DON'T KNOW!
BUT... WE KNOW.
WE KNOW.
WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE.
WE KNOW WHAT WE DO.
BUT, NATURE, THAT
BITCH, IS FULL OF DRUGS!
MINUTES AFTER BIRTH, A SPOTTED
HYENA WILL ATTACK AND KILL ITS TWIN.
THAT WON'T MAKE
THE EVENIN' NEWS. NO.
MALE MALLARD DUCKS...
WILL ATTACK AND GANG-RAPE
FEMALES UNTIL THEY DROWN.
BUT THERE WILL BE NO
TRIAL ON COURT TV. NO.
WHITE FEMALE SQUIRRELS WILL ATTACK AND
KILL EVERY BABY IN ANOTHER FEMALE'S NEST,
AND LARRY KING WILL NOT
ANALYZE THEIR HANDWRITING.
NO.
BUT NATURE, THAT BITCH,
HAS GIVEN US CONSCIENCE,
SO WE MUST BE MADE TO DO WRONG.
WITHOUT US KNOWING, THEY MUST
MAKE TRUCKS OUT OF ALL OF US!
THEY HAVE THE MAP.
THE MAP.
THEY CAN MAKE US GO DOWN
ANY STREET THEY WANT TO.
STREETS THAT WE WOULD NEVER
EVEN DREAM OF GOIN' DOWN.
THEY FLIP A SWITCH, WE GO EAST.
THEY FLIP ANOTHER
SWITCH, WE GO NORTH.
AND WE NEVER KNOW...
WE HAVE BEEN FLIPPED,
LET ALONE KNOW HOW.
MAN, I GOT A RUSH
LISTENIN' TO HIM.
THAT MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH.
GEROME, LISTEN TO ME NOW.
HE MAY SPEAK THE TRUTH,
BUT IT COMES FROM
A PLACE OF INSANITY.
HE'S GONE INSANE. NO, MAN. HE IS
THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS.
ALL RIGHT? I MEAN, THEY
FLIPPED THE SWITCH ON HIM,
BUT HE FOUGHT THROUGH IT.
I MEAN, DON'T YOU GET IT? A
TRUCK HAS NO CONSCIENCE.
IT JUST DOES WHAT THE
DRIVER WANTS IT TO DO.
- OH, NOW I GET IT.
- HEY.
HE CAN HELP US, MR. BLACK.
PEOPLE ONLY BELIEVE THE SANE.
MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T, BUT THEY DO.
THE ONLY WAY TO HELP HIM
OR PATIENT ZERO OR ANYONE...
IS TO FIND OUT WHO IS
DOIN' THIS AND STOP 'EM.
HE'S TOO FAR GONE
TO TELL US ANYTHING.
MAYBE YOU'RE NOT
CRAZY ENOUGH TO LISTEN.
YOU JUST A TRUCK, MR. BLACK.
A TRUCK.
CAN'T HELP YOU UNLESS
YOU'RE GOIN' DOWNTOWN.
DOWNTOWN THEN.
THIS CAME FROM THE BLOOD
SAMPLE YOU GOT THE OTHER NIGHT.
WE FOLLOWED THE ANTISENSE LEAD,
FOCUSED ON THE GENETIC MATERIAL.
THESE GENES ARE THOUGHT TO
CONTROL HIGHER CORTICAL FUNCTIONS.
HERE.
HERE'S PATIENT ZERO. THIS IS
THE STREET GUY SHOT BY THE COP.
THEY'RE BOTH INSANE.
NOBODY WOULD ARGUE THAT.
BUT THEY'RE INSANE IN
EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
LOOK. GENE SITES IDENTICAL TO
THE TWO MEN, EXACTLY THE SAME.
BASE PAIR FOR BASE PAIR. UNLESS YOU'RE
GONNA BUY AN 18-BILLION-TO-ONE SHOT,
THERE'S NO WAY THAT
COULD HAPPEN NATURALLY.
IT'S NOT LIKE FINDING A
GENE FOR HAIR COLOR.
IT'S SPLICING MULTIPLE GENES
TO CONTROL COMPLEX BEHAVIOR.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.
THE BIGGEST SCIENCE
EVENT SINCE THE MOON SHOT.
PUBLIC RECORDS INDICATE
THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR ALONG.
TECHNICALLY, THE
PROGRAM'S UNCLASSIFIED.
BUT IN A WAY, IT DOES FEEL
LIKE A TOP SECRET PROJECT.
THE WORK'S DIVIDED AMONG
5,000 SEPARATE FACILITIES,
EACH ANALYZING A
TINY STRAND OF D.N.A.
A SMALL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. THE
BIG PICTURE CONTROLLED FROM ABOVE.
WHAT IF DURING THE RESEARCH, ONE
ROGUE FACILITY PIECED TOGETHER...
SOMETHING ABOUT A STRAND OF
GENES FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE?
THERE'S NO WAY THE DEPARTMENT
OF ENERGY WOULD BE AWARE?
NO.
UNTRACEABLE GENETIC
EXPERIMENTS AND
UNTRACEABLE HUMAN
SUBJECTS. NOT A LOT TO GO TO.
THE OTHER JOHN DOES.
ALL OF 'EM ARE GONE.
TWENTY JOHN DOES OUT THE DOOR.
IF WE MISSED
SOMETHING, IT'S GONE.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CORONER
THAT WAS HERE BEFORE, A MR. CLARK?
MAYBE HE'S ON
VACATION, I THINK. NO.
THEY FIRED HIM OR SOMETHING.
- HE'S GONE.
- MORE EVIDENCE MISSING.
THEY'RE CLEANING UP. WHAT
ABOUT OUR BLOOD SAMPLES?
WHAT BLOOD SAMPLES?
HIS NAME IS NOT JOHN DOE.
GEROME KNOX. THAT'S HIS NAME.
GEROME KNOX.
THESE ARE ALL THE FACILITIES
INVOLVED IN THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.
AND YOU THINK ONE OF
THESE HAS THIS PATIENT ZERO?
- YES, ONE OF THEM.
- CLOSED SESSION HERE.
- CHECK THE GUEST LIST, DUMPY.
- DID YOU GET IT?
I DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING ON
EVERY FACILITY WITHIN 200 MILES.
IT STARTED OUT AS A BUTT-LOAD,
BUT I DID WHAT YOU ASKED...
ELIMINATE ANY SITE THAT'S
AN OBVIOUS P.R. JOB...
HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE CLASSES,
WOMEN'S COLLEGES, 4-H CLUBS.
REQUIRES SOME MILITARY CONNECTION
AND A STAND-ALONE FACILITY.
- DOWN TO FOUR AND COUNTING.
- WHAT ABOUT TRUCKS?
THEY USE THEM TO
RECRUIT THEIR JOHN DOES.
- I'VE GOT COMPANY CARS.
- TRY SUBSIDIARIES.
JOINT VENTURES.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
A VEHICLE THAT COULD MOVE
UNNOTICED AMONG THE HOMELESS.
THERE!
"MOBILE SOUP KITCHEN."
THEY DONATED TRUCKS.
5C03? PROJECT CONTACT IS
A DR. WILLIAM KRAMER, M.D.,
Ph.D. IN GENETIC
ENGINEERING, R.O.T.C.
GOT HIS DEGREES
ON THE G.I. BILL.
I'LL TELL YA, IT'S THE
OMEGA MAN ALL OVER AGAIN.
THERE IT IS.
I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO A
JUDGE AND GET A SEARCH
WARRANT BECAUSE THIS
PLACE HAS SOUP TRUCKS?
NO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO TO A
JUDGE AND GET A SEARCH WARRANT...
BECAUSE WE TURNED PATIENT
ZERO OVER TO THESE GUYS.
- WE'RE RESPONSIBLE.
- YOU'LL GET IT BECAUSE NOBODY
HERE IS GONNA WALK AWAY.
TEAMS IN POSITION AND READY.
AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
- YEAH. DO IT.
- LET'S GO.
GO! GO! GO, GO, GO!
WE'RE IN.
CHECK EVERY ROOM!
- MOVE! MOVE!
- NO ONE LEAVES!
IF HE'S NOT HERE,
I'M A DEAD MAN.
DETAIL, GO!
EXCUSE ME. WE BELIEVE THIS MAN IS
IN DANGER. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM HERE?
WE BLEW IT. DON'T
EVEN THINK THAT.
- WE CAUGHT 'EM
HEADING OUT THE BACK.
- WHAT ABOUT ZERO?
JUST THESE GUYS. YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
N.S.A.? C.I.A.? MILAB?
THIS IS A PRIVATE BIO-MEDICAL RESEARCH
FACILITY CONDUCTING IMPORTANT RESEARCH.
YEAH, I HEARD. WRAP 'EM UP.
WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING?
THIS IS A SERIOUS
VIOLATION OF OUR RIGHTS.
WE HAD REASON TO BELIEVE YOU WERE
BEING HELD HERE AGAINST YOUR WILL.
WELL, MAYBE SOME WEEKENDS,
BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WORK HERE.
WE HAVE YOU ON VIDEOTAPE AT THE
SEATTLE TRIBUNE RANTING, DELUSIONAL.
WE KNOW WHAT THIS PLACE IS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? DID
THEY INFECT YOU BY ACCIDENT?
WERE YOU EXPERIMENTING
ON YOURSELF?
HOW CAN YOU KEEP DOING
THIS WHEN YOU KNOW?
- YOU KNOW.
- I'M DELUSIONAL?
DID YOU JUST HEAR YOURSELF?
GET OUT OF MY WAY. OKAY.
PARTY'S OVER.
IF YOU PEOPLE AREN'T
OUT OF HERE IN 30
SECONDS, WE'LL ISSUE
WARRANTS FOR YOUR ARREST.
THE SYSTEM RUNS ON JOHN DOES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID. COUNT 'EM.
HOW MANY ARE THERE? HOW MANY?
WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN RWANDA?
PETER, RWANDA, 1994.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GET UP
ONE MORNING, GRAB A MACHETE...
AND KILL THE PERSON
NEXT TO THEM.
THERE'S A FRENZY OF BLOODLETTING
LIKE THE WORLD'S NEVER SEEN.
HE WAS A RESEARCH CHEMIST.
WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE?
IN BOSNIA, NEIGHBORS SENT
NEIGHBORS AWAY FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING.
IN THIS COUNTRY, 12-YEAR-OLDS
SHOOT EACH OTHER IN THE STREETS.
THE WORLD'S A VIOLENT PLACE.
IT'S IN ALL OF US IF THE
SWITCH GETS FLIPPED.
BUT YOU KNOW THAT.
I MADE THIS!
CAB! CAB!
TAXI! TAXI!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
NO NEED FOR THAT.
I'D HAVE STOPPED FOR YOU.
YEAH, BUDDY. I KNOW THE GAME.
EVERYONE SUDDENLY OFF DUTY.
RIGHT? AND IT'S NOT
JUST THE WHITE CATS, MAN.
SOME BROTHERS PLAY THAT TOO.
YEAH, MAN. DON'T NOBODY
CARE ABOUT NOBODY NO MORE.
THE COLOR DON'T EVEN MATTER.
BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW, WHITE.
DON'T MATTER. EVERYONE ONLY
WORRIES ABOUT THEIR OWN INTERESTS.
MAN! TRUCKS!
DON'T BLEED ON MY SEATS, MAN.
THEY MAKE ME CLEAN THAT UP.
TRUCKS!
I-I PICKED HIM UP IN MY CAB.
HE WAS GOIN' ON ABOUT...
220. PEOPLE... PEOPLE
DOIN' STUFF TO HIM.
- WHAT STUFF?
- I DON'T KNOW. TWO GUYS
AFTER HIM OR SOMETHIN'.
HE KEPT SAYIN',
"TRUCKS! THE TRUCKS!"
240.
OH!
260 OVER 140. THIS GUY'S
GONNA STROKE OUT ON US.
I NEED AN I.V. PUSH. POINT
FOUR MILLIGRAM NITRO PATCH.
ANYBODY. I'M OPEN TO IDEAS.
HAVE YOU ADMITTED THIS MAN?
I TAKE IT YOU'RE NOT
IMMEDIATE FAMILY.
THEY JUST TOOK HIM INTO TRAUMA.
140 OVER 90.
HE'S GONNA SLEEP A LONG TIME.
THERE'S NO NEED TO STICK AROUND.
TRUCKS. TRUCKS.
THEY WANNA KILL ME.
WHOA! HOLD UP, FELLAS.
I CAN'T LET YOU IN HERE.
WHERE'S YOUR I.D.? THIS IS AN
EMERGENCY ROOM. WHERE IS HE?
WHO?
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP. WE'RE FROM
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL.
THIS AREA IS UNDER QUARANTINE.
NOBODY GOES IN OR OUT.
COMPLETE BODY FLUID
PRECAUTIONS ARE TO BE EXERCISED.
SO, WHAT TYPE OF
CALLS ARE THESE?
ARE THEY, LIKE, PHONE
CARD SOLICITATIONS?
OR ARE THEY, LIKE, THE, UH, "DO YOU
HAVE PRINCE ALBERT IN A CAN" VARIETY?
OR ARE THEY, LIKE, A GUY BREATHING
AND, YOU KNOW, TREATING HIMSELF?
THEY'RE NOT CALLS.
JUST HANG-UPS.
WELL, I'M CONNECTING AN ECBH-79
CALLER IDENTIFICATION UNIT TO YOUR PHONE.
THE DIGITAL READOUT
WILL REFLECT THE PHONE
NUMBER OF THE PERSON
OR PERSONS CALLING YOU...
AND PUT AN END TO
THIS HARASSMENT.
YOU OWE ME 65 BUCKS.
- IS THAT YOUR FAMILY?
- MM-HMM.
YOUR WIFE'S A TOTAL BABE-A-LICIOUS.
NO WONDER YOU'RE GETTIN' CALLS.
HELLO? THIS IS IT.
ARE YOU READY? HELLO?
HELLO?
WELL, OBVIOUSLY WHOEVER
CALLED HAS BLOCKED CALLER I.D.
THE PHONE COMPANY
DOES IT FOR A PRICE.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
ALL YOU NEED NOW...
IS A DEVICE TO UNDO
THEIR CALLER BLOCK.
THE LMU-83 WILL OVERRIDE
THEIR OVERRIDE VERY NICELY.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE
JAMES BONDIAN,
BUT WE ARE LIVING IN A
MORE BLOFELDIAN WORLD.
JUST HOOK IT UP, Q.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.
DO YOU KNOW A
DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE?
HEY, GEIBELHOUSE.
I HOPE THE MILLENNIUM GROUP
DOESN'T MIND I BROUGHT YOU IN ON THIS.
THESE DISEASE CONTROL
GUYS GIVE ME THE CREEPS.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS
PATIENT ZERO CARRYING?
THEY'RE KEEPIN' TIGHT-LIPPED, WHICH
OF COURSE DRIVES MY GUYS NUTS.
AFRAID IF IT LEAKS OUT, WE
COULD START A PUBLIC PANIC.
ANY LUCK WITH THE CAB
DRIVER? GOOD AND BAD.
THE GOOD LUCK IS WE GOT THE
CABBY'S NAME. GEROME KNOX.
THE BAD LUCK IS HE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR
WORK, AND HE'S NOT AT HIS APARTMENT.
WORST LUCK, IF HE'S HIDIN' ZERO,
WE NOW GOT TWO INFECTED GUYS.
THE SUBJECT THAT WE'RE SEARCHING
FOR HAS BEEN DESIGNATED PATIENT ZERO.
TWO DAYS AGO, ZERO APPEARED...
AT THE OLYMPIA PLASMA CENTER,
SUFFERING FROM DELUSIONS,
HALLUCINATIONS AND ECHOPRAXIA.
HE WANTED TO SELL HIS BLOOD,
WHICH A ROUTINE PANEL SHOWED...
TO BE POSITIVE FOR MANY THINGS.
THEY TURNED HIM OVER TO US,
AND WE FOUND WHAT WE BELIEVE
IS A HEMORRHAGIC PATHOGEN...
PREVIOUSLY FOUND
ONLY IN THE CONGO,
SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE
TO FILOVIRUS SIMIAN.
ARE WE TALKIN' WEARIN' THE YELLOW SPACE
SUITS HERE? THE WHOLE OUTBREAK NUMBER?
WE'RE HOPEFUL THIS IS
LIMITED TO BODY FLUIDS.
- HOPEFUL?
- GINELLI!
SIMMER DOWN.
THERE'S NO WAY I GO CHASING SOME TOXIC
BOONGE UNTIL I GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER.
WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY?
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC.
ONE NEAT ASPECT.
EVEN IN HIS HURRY TO ESCAPE,
THIS MAN TOOK THE TIME...
TO FOLD FIVE PIECES OF SURGICAL
TAPE BACK ON THEMSELVES,
LEAVING NOTHING STICKY EXPOSED.
I'VE SEEN THIS IN
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENICS.
ONE NEAT ASPECT IN A
DISORGANIZED PICTURE.
SO HE'S A NEAT FREAK. HOW
DOES THAT HELP US FIND HIM?
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER
THIS MAN A FUGITIVE RUNNING FROM US.
IF HE WAS HIDING, HE WOULDN'T
HAVE TALKED TO THE CAB DRIVER.
I THINK HE WANTS TO
BE SEEN AND HEARD,
AND HE WANTS TO TELL HIS STORY.
THE CAB PICKED HIM
UP AT YESLER AND 3rd.
THAT'S A BLOCK AND A HALF
FROM THE SEATTLE TRIBUNE.
THE TRUTH IS NOT OUT THERE.
A GUY LIKE THIS STARTS
CRAZY TALKIN', I CALL JANITORIAL.
USUALLY ENDS WITH HIM
WHIPPIN' IT OUT AND TAKIN' A WHIZ...
RIGHT ABOUT WHERE
YOU'RE STANDIN'.
DID YOU SEE THIS GUY
BEFORE LAST NIGHT? NO.
AND WORKIN' LATE SHIFT, YOU
GET TO KNOW ALL THE NUT-BALLS.
- SUPPRESSIVES!
- 11:18.
JUST BEFORE KNOX
PICKS HIM UP IN HIS CAB.
SO I TELL HIM THE SEATTLE TRIBUNE
DOESN'T WANT HIS CRAZY-ASS STORY.
WATCH THIS PART. GUY GOES
BANANAS. D.O.E.! COINTEL PRO!
TRUCKLOADS! TRUCKLOADS!
TRUCKLOADS OF
JOHN DOES VANISHING!
A LOT OF PERSONNEL
FOR ONE LUNATIC.
WHAT, HE KILL SOME RICH GUY?
HE SHOWS UP AGAIN...
HE WON'T.
HE'LL GO ELSEWHERE.
HE'LL GO SOMEPLACE OPEN TO
HEARING WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
TUSKEGEE! IF YOU SAY SO.
THEY DENIED!
APOLOGIZED! THEN DENIED!
MK-ULTRA! COINTEL
PRO! OSHA! D.O.E.!
HEY, MAN, WRITE THIS
DOWN, MAN. WRITE THIS DOWN.
HE DON'T HAVE TO WRITE
IT DOWN! IT'S EVERYONE!
- IT'S EVERYWHERE!
- HOLD THE PHONE.
HEY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
OKAY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
- HEY, MAN, TELL HIM
ABOUT THE TRUCKS.
- HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE TRUCKS.
HEY, MAN, YOU SUPPOSED
TO BE A REPORTER, BROTHER.
I'M TELLIN' YOU, SOMEONE'S
OPPRESSING THIS MAN!
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
A WEEK I HEAR THAT, BROTHER?
AND FROM EVERYONE.
ASIANS SAY IT'S BLACK PEOPLE.
BLACK PEOPLE SAY IT'S WHITE PEOPLE.
WHITE PEOPLE SAY
IT'S EXTRATERRESTRIAL.
NO, MAN. I SAW TWO GUYS
AFTER HIM AT THE HOSPITAL.
TWO GUYS AT A HOSPITAL
AIN'T PROOF OF A DAMN THING.
HE COULD BE A CRIMINAL
FOR ALL I KNOW, OR YOU KNOW!
HIM? MAN, THEY'RE THE CRIMINALS!
MAN, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK. I
KNOW IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW,
BUT THIS MAN IS COMIN'
FROM A POETIC PLACE.
HEAR ME, MAN. LISTEN, MAN.
THIRTY YEARS AGO, PEOPLE
SAID THE U.S. GOVERNMENT...
WAS USING BLACK MEN AS AN
EXPERIMENT TO DIE OF SYPHILIS...
WAS JUST ANOTHER WHACKED-OUT
CONSPIRACY THEORY LIKE...
LIKE ALIENS OR
SOMETHIN'. TUSKEGEE!
TUSKEGEE! TUSKEGEE!
TUSKEGEE'S OVER, MAN. THE
PRESIDENT HAS APOLOGIZED.
THIS MAN NEEDS AN APOLOGY...
IF HE LIVES TO HEAR IT.
NO!
DO YOU HEAR ME, MAN?
YOU JUST GONNA IGNORE ME?
OKAY, LET'S DO IT.
THEY'RE COMIN'.
HERE. DOWN THE HALL.
LAST DOOR DOWN
THE HALL. COME ON!
TAKE THE BLUE IMPALA!
AND THE STORY'S OURS!
THIS WAY! THIS WAY! COME ON!
HE'S WITH THEM! NO, NO, NO, NO.
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
GET OUT OF THE WAY! YEAH!
HOLD IT! THIS IS A
PLACE OF BUSINESS.
YOU ARE NOW STANDING IN A
PUBLIC PART OF THAT PLACE.
NOW, THE REST OF THIS
BUILDING IS PRIVATE AND
OFF-LIMITS TO YOU
WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT.
HOW'S THIS?
WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU.
I WANNA HELP YOU.
NOTHIN'.
EASY DOES IT, GUY.
EASY DOES IT.

FRANK.
CRIME LAB TESTED THE
STAIN ON YOUR SHIRT.
WHAT DID THEY FIND? NOTHIN'.
NO VIRUS. IT'S CLEAN
AS A KICKER'S UNIFORM.
YOU SURE IT WASN'T YOUR
BLOOD? NO, DEFINITELY HIS.
WHAT ABOUT THE CENTERS
FOR DISEASE CONTROL?
THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO
I WAS TALKIN' ABOUT.
THE PLASMA CENTER DOESN'T HAVE
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS EITHER.
THEN WHO WAS AFTER HIM?
FRANK, THE GUY WAS NUTS.
CONSPIRACY THIS,
CONSPIRACY THAT.
WE WENT TO HIS OFFICE. I WORKED
FOR THEM. THAT WASN'T HIS DELUSION.
AND NOW THAT OFFICE IS GONE.
WE WERE USED,
GEIBS. HE KNEW THAT.
HOW COULD HE KNOW THAT?
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON BESIDE
KNOX WHO SAID I WANTED TO HELP HIM.
HE WANTED TO HELP ME. SO HE WANTED ME TO
KNOW THAT THEY WERE LYING ABOUT THE VIRUS.
THAT'S WHY HE GAVE
ME THE BLOOD SAMPLE.
AND I GAVE HIM UP TO... I
DON'T KNOW WHO OR WHY.
HELLO? MR. BLACK?
IT'S ROEDECKER.
BRIAN ROEDECKER. IS
THE LMU-83 FUNCTIONAL?
ANONYMOUS. - HMM.
ACTIVATE THE SWITCH
ON THE SIDE OF THE LMU-83.
GOT IT, GOT IT, GOT IT.
THANK YOU, ROEDECKER.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE.
SUPPRESSIVE! OPPRESSIVE!
THE F.B.I.! C.I.A.!
COINTEL PRO!
TRUCKLOADS!
TRUCKLOADS OF JOHN DOES!
THE D.O.E.! THE A.C.T.G.!
SENSE! ANTISENSE!
THE A.C.T.G.!
WHO IS THIS? WHO
THE HELL IS THIS?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME YOU TOOK THIS JOB?
- I WASN'T CURRENTLY
ON A CASE WITH THE GROUP.
- WE'RE ALWAYS ON CALL.
I'M ONLY OFFICIALLY A
CONSULTANT WITH THE MILLENNIUM.
I'M TRYIN' TO FEED
MY FAMILY, PETE.
THE SITUATION WITH CATHERINE
HAS CREATED NEW RESPONSIBILITIES.
I'VE GOT TWO OF EVERYTHING.
TWO SETS OF TOYS, TWO
RENTALS AND A HOUSE.
WE WORK TOGETHER, FRANK.
YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO US.
IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE A SITUATION
THE GROUP WOULD BE INTERESTED IN.
AN INFECTED TRANSIENT.
ESSENTIALLY, A MISSING PERSON.
IT APPEARED TO HAVE
NO DEEPER MEANING.
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT. WE
WOULD'VE PASSED ON IT.
BUT NOW IT DOES HAVE A DEEPER MEANING,
AND NOT JUST THE OBVIOUS CONSPIRACY.
THEY USED YOU AND GEIBELHOUSE,
BELIEVING THAT WHEN YOU REALIZED...
THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR
ACTIONS, YOU WOULD WALK AWAY.
THAT'S WHY I'M WORKING ON MAKING YOU
MORE THAN "OFFICIALLY A CONSULTANT."
BECAUSE YOU AND I, THE GROUP,
WE DON'T WALK AWAY.
THIS ISN'T EVEN ABOUT MONEY NOW.
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MAN.
WE'LL TAKE THE CASE.
I'LL SEND THIS OVER TO
OUR PHOTO LAB. LOOK HERE.
IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN
RETOUCHED. THEY'RE HIDING SOMETHING.
A TATTOO, DOG
TAGS, I DON'T KNOW.
"ANTISENSE."
A REOCCURRING
TROPE. IN MICROBIOLOGY,
THE ANTISENSE IS ONE
SIDE OF THE DOUBLE HELIX.
IT'S HALF OUR D.N.A. THE
OTHER SIDE IS CALLED SENSE.
OUR GENETIC MATTER. "IT IS IN
US." THAT'S WHAT HE KEEPS SAYING.
ALTHOUGH HOW HE CAME
UP WITH IT, I DON'T KNOW.
DATANINE. CYTOSINE. THIAMINE.
HERE.
GUANINE. THE FOUR
NUCLEOTIDES OF D.N.A.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL CATCH UP WITH
YOU GUYS AT THE HOLE TONIGHT.
- AAH!
- NICE CAB. BRAND-NEW.
THEY TOOK MINE IN FOR REPAIRS.
YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.
- LOOK, I'M OFF DUTY.
- I'M NOT.
I ALREADY TALKED
TO YOUR FRIENDS.
MY FRIENDS DON'T LIE TO ME.
MY FRIENDS TELL ME THE TRUTH.
HE TRUSTED YOU. HE MUST HAVE
TOLD YOU WHO WAS AFTER HIM.
THAT'S EASY. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
YEAH. THEY USED YOU.
NOW YOU KNOW HOW
I FEEL EVERY DAY.
TELL ME, MAN, AM I INFECTED?
THERE WAS NO VIRUS IN HIS BODY.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. SO
HE WAS TELLIN' THE TRUTH.
YOU TELL ME.
"TRUCKS. TRUCKS."
HE KEPT SAYIN' THE TRUCKS WAS
AFTER HIM OR SOMETHIN'. I DON'T KNOW.
TALKED ABOUT JOHN DOES.
HE KEPT SAYIN',
"WE'RE ALL VANISHING.
WE'RE ALL JOHN DOES."
HERE'S MY PHONE NUMBER.
IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING,
YOU GIVE ME A CALL, ALL RIGHT?
SO, WHERE YOU GOIN'?
TO MEET JOHN DOE.
WE GET A LOT.
A COUPLE HUNDRED A YEAR.
STREET BUMS, TRANSIENTS MOSTLY.
USUALLY SOMEONE COMES FORWARD...
A FAMILY MEMBER, WHATEVER.
MOST DON'T STAY
JOHN DOES FOR LONG.
THE EYE. DILATED IRIS.
JUST LIKE PATIENT ZERO.
COULD THEY BE USING THESE
PEOPLE FOR SOME EXPERIMENT,
THEN SLIPPING THEM THROUGH
THE MORGUE WHEN THEY'RE DONE?
USING THE SYSTEM TO GO
UNDETECTED BECAUSE NO ONE CARES.
MAY WE SIT IN ON YOUR
AUTOPSY, DR. CLARK?
GENTLEMEN, WE DON'T AUTOPSY UNLESS
SOMETHING LOOKS TO BE OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
DILATED EYE USUALLY INDICATES
ORGANIC BRAIN DAMAGE.
WELL, BRAIN-DAMAGED STREET
PEOPLE, THAT'S KIND OF BY DEFINITION.
I WOULD LIKE BLOOD
SAMPLES ON THIS MAN...
AND ANY OTHER JOHN DOES THAT
COME THROUGH HERE WITH A DILATED EYE.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO FIND?
NOTHING.
OKAY, DROP IT. PUT IT DOWN.
SIR, I NEED YOU TO
PUT THE BAR DOWN.
I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU!
SIR, I NEED YOU TO RELAX.
I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU!
PUT THE BAR DOWN. JUST PUT IT
DOWN AND NOBODY WILL GET HURT.
JUST PUT IT DOWN.
I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!
I DON'T KNOW HOW!
I CAN SEE YOU'RE
UPSET. I WANNA HELP.
PUT THE BAR DOWN.
NOBODY'S GONNA HURT YOU.
GOOD. YOU'RE MAKIN' A WISE CALL.
HE'S GOT SOMETHING!
ALL CENTRAL AREA
UNITS, BACKUP NEEDED...
CRIME SCENE. MOVE OUT OF HERE.
- I'M FRANK BLACK.
- AND I'M JOE YELLOW.
GO ON, OUT. DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE
TOLD US HE'D MEET US HERE.
WELL, EVEN IF THAT WAS A
REAL NAME, HE AIN'T HERE.
THIS IS AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS
INVESTIGATION. WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?
LIEUTENANT WOBANLOTNEY.
- CAN WE TALK WITH HIM?
- LEAVE IT HERE.
WHAT WAS IT?
WOBANLOTNEY OR SOMETHIN'.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
LIEUTENANT? OKAY.
WOBANLOTNEY?
LIFE FORCE TRUCK
73 RESPOND TO...
ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS 210.
THAT'S 210 GREENWOOD
AVENUE NORTH.
ENGINE 15, CAN YOU RESPOND
TO A NON-EMERGENCY...
AT PARKING STRUCTURE
800 WEST ELK?
HOLD ON. LET ME
JUST GET THIS DOWN.
ALL RIGHT, UH, WHO'S
GONNA HANDLE THE SWEEP?
LIFE FORCE FOUR, RESPOND
TO VICTIM OF A FALL,
NORTHEAST 110 AT SAND POINT.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHIN'.
YEAH, JUST SIGN OFF ON THIS, OKAY?
DID YOU GET A SAMPLE?
YEAH.
ANOTHER JOHN DOE OUT OF CONTROL?
HE'S NOT A JOHN
DOE. LOOK AT THE TAG.
"D.O.E."
ABBREVIATION. IT
STANDS FOR SOMETHING.
"DEAD ON EXAMINATION"?
D.O.E. THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
EASY, FRANK. ANOTHER
LEAP LIKE THAT,
AND YOU'LL CONNECT ALL THIS TO WHY
OSWALD WASN'T IN THE BOOK DEPOSITORY.
THE D.O.E. STARTED AS THE ATOMIC
ENERGY COMMISSION. BUILT THE ATOMIC BOMB.
THEN RADIATION
EXPERIMENTS ON HUMANS.
TESTS ON VULNERABLE GROUPS...
PRISONERS, MENTALLY RETARDED.
THEY'VE HISTORICALLY DEVELOPED
UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPONS.
YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY'VE GOTTEN INTO NOW.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT IS A VAST
UNDERTAKING OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY...
EXPECTED TO
PRODUCE A BLUEPRINT...
OF THE FUNCTIONAL AND EVOLUTIONARY
HISTORY OF THE HUMAN SPECIES.
THE GOAL OF THIS INTERNATIONAL
15-YEAR COORDINATED EFFORT...
IS TO DISCOVER ALL OF
THE 50,000 HUMAN GENES...
AND RENDER THEM ACCESSIBLE
FOR FURTHER BIOLOGICAL STUDY.
"FOR FURTHER BIOLOGICAL STUDY."
YEAH. I FOUND ANOTHER ONE.
THIS GUY IS KIND OF
WORSHIPED DOWN HERE.
I'D HEARD ABOUT HIM ON THE
STREETS EVEN BEFORE ZERO.
I'D ALWAYS WRITTEN HIM OFF,
THOUGH, AS JUST ANOTHER CASUALTY.
THEN I FINALLY HEARD HIM.
NOW YOU SHOULD TOO.
COME HERE.
AFTER YOU. HE'S JUST DOWN THERE.
NOWHERE ON PLANET EARTH
ARE PEOPLE FREE OF THE DRUGS!
NO!
THEY TRAVELED ACROSS
RWANDA DIRT ROADS.
THEY RIDE ON KUWAITI HIGHWAYS.
THEY MOVE THROUGH
THESE CITY STREETS!
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
CAN YOU HEAR THEM?
DO YOU HEAR THEM?
THE TRUCKS DON'T CARE.
THEY DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE A
FIRE TRUCK OR A DUMP TRUCK.
THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE A
CARGO TRUCK OR A TOW TRUCK.
THEY DON'T KNOW!
BUT... WE KNOW.
WE KNOW.
WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE.
WE KNOW WHAT WE DO.
BUT, NATURE, THAT
BITCH, IS FULL OF DRUGS!
MINUTES AFTER BIRTH, A SPOTTED
HYENA WILL ATTACK AND KILL ITS TWIN.
THAT WON'T MAKE
THE EVENIN' NEWS. NO.
MALE MALLARD DUCKS...
WILL ATTACK AND GANG-RAPE
FEMALES UNTIL THEY DROWN.
BUT THERE WILL BE NO
TRIAL ON COURT TV. NO.
WHITE FEMALE SQUIRRELS WILL ATTACK AND
KILL EVERY BABY IN ANOTHER FEMALE'S NEST,
AND LARRY KING WILL NOT
ANALYZE THEIR HANDWRITING.
NO.
BUT NATURE, THAT BITCH,
HAS GIVEN US CONSCIENCE,
SO WE MUST BE MADE TO DO WRONG.
WITHOUT US KNOWING, THEY MUST
MAKE TRUCKS OUT OF ALL OF US!
THEY HAVE THE MAP.
THE MAP.
THEY CAN MAKE US GO DOWN
ANY STREET THEY WANT TO.
STREETS THAT WE WOULD NEVER
EVEN DREAM OF GOIN' DOWN.
THEY FLIP A SWITCH, WE GO EAST.
THEY FLIP ANOTHER
SWITCH, WE GO NORTH.
AND WE NEVER KNOW...
WE HAVE BEEN FLIPPED,
LET ALONE KNOW HOW.
MAN, I GOT A RUSH
LISTENIN' TO HIM.
THAT MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH.
GEROME, LISTEN TO ME NOW.
HE MAY SPEAK THE TRUTH,
BUT IT COMES FROM
A PLACE OF INSANITY.
HE'S GONE INSANE. NO, MAN. HE IS
THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS.
ALL RIGHT? I MEAN, THEY
FLIPPED THE SWITCH ON HIM,
BUT HE FOUGHT THROUGH IT.
I MEAN, DON'T YOU GET IT? A
TRUCK HAS NO CONSCIENCE.
IT JUST DOES WHAT THE
DRIVER WANTS IT TO DO.
- OH, NOW I GET IT.
- HEY.
HE CAN HELP US, MR. BLACK.
PEOPLE ONLY BELIEVE THE SANE.
MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T, BUT THEY DO.
THE ONLY WAY TO HELP HIM
OR PATIENT ZERO OR ANYONE...
IS TO FIND OUT WHO IS
DOIN' THIS AND STOP 'EM.
HE'S TOO FAR GONE
TO TELL US ANYTHING.
MAYBE YOU'RE NOT
CRAZY ENOUGH TO LISTEN.
YOU JUST A TRUCK, MR. BLACK.
A TRUCK.
CAN'T HELP YOU UNLESS
YOU'RE GOIN' DOWNTOWN.
DOWNTOWN THEN.
THIS CAME FROM THE BLOOD
SAMPLE YOU GOT THE OTHER NIGHT.
WE FOLLOWED THE ANTISENSE LEAD,
FOCUSED ON THE GENETIC MATERIAL.
THESE GENES ARE THOUGHT TO
CONTROL HIGHER CORTICAL FUNCTIONS.
HERE.
HERE'S PATIENT ZERO. THIS IS
THE STREET GUY SHOT BY THE COP.
THEY'RE BOTH INSANE.
NOBODY WOULD ARGUE THAT.
BUT THEY'RE INSANE IN
EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
LOOK. GENE SITES IDENTICAL TO
THE TWO MEN, EXACTLY THE SAME.
BASE PAIR FOR BASE PAIR. UNLESS YOU'RE
GONNA BUY AN 18-BILLION-TO-ONE SHOT,
THERE'S NO WAY THAT
COULD HAPPEN NATURALLY.
IT'S NOT LIKE FINDING A
GENE FOR HAIR COLOR.
IT'S SPLICING MULTIPLE GENES
TO CONTROL COMPLEX BEHAVIOR.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.
THE BIGGEST SCIENCE
EVENT SINCE THE MOON SHOT.
PUBLIC RECORDS INDICATE
THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR ALONG.
TECHNICALLY, THE
PROGRAM'S UNCLASSIFIED.
BUT IN A WAY, IT DOES FEEL
LIKE A TOP SECRET PROJECT.
THE WORK'S DIVIDED AMONG
5,000 SEPARATE FACILITIES,
EACH ANALYZING A
TINY STRAND OF D.N.A.
A SMALL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. THE
BIG PICTURE CONTROLLED FROM ABOVE.
WHAT IF DURING THE RESEARCH, ONE
ROGUE FACILITY PIECED TOGETHER...
SOMETHING ABOUT A STRAND OF
GENES FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE?
THERE'S NO WAY THE DEPARTMENT
OF ENERGY WOULD BE AWARE?
NO.
UNTRACEABLE GENETIC
EXPERIMENTS AND
UNTRACEABLE HUMAN
SUBJECTS. NOT A LOT TO GO TO.
THE OTHER JOHN DOES.
ALL OF 'EM ARE GONE.
TWENTY JOHN DOES OUT THE DOOR.
IF WE MISSED
SOMETHING, IT'S GONE.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CORONER
THAT WAS HERE BEFORE, A MR. CLARK?
MAYBE HE'S ON
VACATION, I THINK. NO.
THEY FIRED HIM OR SOMETHING.
- HE'S GONE.
- MORE EVIDENCE MISSING.
THEY'RE CLEANING UP. WHAT
ABOUT OUR BLOOD SAMPLES?
WHAT BLOOD SAMPLES?
HIS NAME IS NOT JOHN DOE.
GEROME KNOX. THAT'S HIS NAME.
GEROME KNOX.
THESE ARE ALL THE FACILITIES
INVOLVED IN THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.
AND YOU THINK ONE OF
THESE HAS THIS PATIENT ZERO?
- YES, ONE OF THEM.
- CLOSED SESSION HERE.
- CHECK THE GUEST LIST, DUMPY.
- DID YOU GET IT?
I DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING ON
EVERY FACILITY WITHIN 200 MILES.
IT STARTED OUT AS A BUTT-LOAD,
BUT I DID WHAT YOU ASKED...
ELIMINATE ANY SITE THAT'S
AN OBVIOUS P.R. JOB...
HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE CLASSES,
WOMEN'S COLLEGES, 4-H CLUBS.
REQUIRES SOME MILITARY CONNECTION
AND A STAND-ALONE FACILITY.
- DOWN TO FOUR AND COUNTING.
- WHAT ABOUT TRUCKS?
THEY USE THEM TO
RECRUIT THEIR JOHN DOES.
- I'VE GOT COMPANY CARS.
- TRY SUBSIDIARIES.
JOINT VENTURES.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
A VEHICLE THAT COULD MOVE
UNNOTICED AMONG THE HOMELESS.
THERE!
"MOBILE SOUP KITCHEN."
THEY DONATED TRUCKS.
5C03? PROJECT CONTACT IS
A DR. WILLIAM KRAMER, M.D.,
Ph.D. IN GENETIC
ENGINEERING, R.O.T.C.
GOT HIS DEGREES
ON THE G.I. BILL.
I'LL TELL YA, IT'S THE
OMEGA MAN ALL OVER AGAIN.
THERE IT IS.
I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO A
JUDGE AND GET A SEARCH
WARRANT BECAUSE THIS
PLACE HAS SOUP TRUCKS?
NO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO TO A
JUDGE AND GET A SEARCH WARRANT...
BECAUSE WE TURNED PATIENT
ZERO OVER TO THESE GUYS.
- WE'RE RESPONSIBLE.
- YOU'LL GET IT BECAUSE NOBODY
HERE IS GONNA WALK AWAY.
TEAMS IN POSITION AND READY.
AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
- YEAH. DO IT.
- LET'S GO.
GO! GO! GO, GO, GO!
WE'RE IN.
CHECK EVERY ROOM!
- MOVE! MOVE!
- NO ONE LEAVES!
IF HE'S NOT HERE,
I'M A DEAD MAN.
DETAIL, GO!
EXCUSE ME. WE BELIEVE THIS MAN IS
IN DANGER. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM HERE?
WE BLEW IT. DON'T
EVEN THINK THAT.
- WE CAUGHT 'EM
HEADING OUT THE BACK.
- WHAT ABOUT ZERO?
JUST THESE GUYS. YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
N.S.A.? C.I.A.? MILAB?
THIS IS A PRIVATE BIO-MEDICAL RESEARCH
FACILITY CONDUCTING IMPORTANT RESEARCH.
YEAH, I HEARD. WRAP 'EM UP.
WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING?
THIS IS A SERIOUS
VIOLATION OF OUR RIGHTS.
WE HAD REASON TO BELIEVE YOU WERE
BEING HELD HERE AGAINST YOUR WILL.
WELL, MAYBE SOME WEEKENDS,
BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WORK HERE.
WE HAVE YOU ON VIDEOTAPE AT THE
SEATTLE TRIBUNE RANTING, DELUSIONAL.
WE KNOW WHAT THIS PLACE IS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? DID
THEY INFECT YOU BY ACCIDENT?
WERE YOU EXPERIMENTING
ON YOURSELF?
HOW CAN YOU KEEP DOING
THIS WHEN YOU KNOW?
- YOU KNOW.
- I'M DELUSIONAL?
DID YOU JUST HEAR YOURSELF?
GET OUT OF MY WAY. OKAY.
PARTY'S OVER.
IF YOU PEOPLE AREN'T
OUT OF HERE IN 30
SECONDS, WE'LL ISSUE
WARRANTS FOR YOUR ARREST.
THE SYSTEM RUNS ON JOHN DOES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID. COUNT 'EM.
HOW MANY ARE THERE? HOW MANY?
WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN RWANDA?
PETER, RWANDA, 1994.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GET UP
ONE MORNING, GRAB A MACHETE...
AND KILL THE PERSON
NEXT TO THEM.
THERE'S A FRENZY OF BLOODLETTING
LIKE THE WORLD'S NEVER SEEN.
HE WAS A RESEARCH CHEMIST.
WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE?
IN BOSNIA, NEIGHBORS SENT
NEIGHBORS AWAY FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING.
IN THIS COUNTRY, 12-YEAR-OLDS
SHOOT EACH OTHER IN THE STREETS.
THE WORLD'S A VIOLENT PLACE.
IT'S IN ALL OF US IF THE
SWITCH GETS FLIPPED.
BUT YOU KNOW THAT.
I MADE THIS!
