WILL WE ALWAYS BE TOGETHER?
I COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU. I DIDN'T PROTECT...
I COULD'VE SAVED
YOU. I HAD A CHOICE.
WILL WE ALWAYS BE TOGETHER?
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
WE HAVE NO ONE
BY THAT NAME, SIR.
CHYREN. C-H-Y-R-E-N.
EXTENSION 6-70. WE HAVE
NO LISTING FOR THAT NAME,
AND THAT EXTENSION
HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.
WHAT ABOUT OUTSIDE QUANTICO?
WE HAVE NO LISTING. CAN I HELP
YOU WITH ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
NOPE.
DOUG. OH, HEY, MR. BLACK.
DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN, CHYREN?
NEVER HEARD OF HIM. WHY?
AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? YEAH, WHITE
NOISE. SEATTLE P.D. SENT IT OVER TO US.
YOUR OLD PAL, DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE,
FOUND IT AT A CRIME SCENE ALL TORN UP.
THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE
SOME BEARING. DID IT?
WE PUT IT TOGETHER, RAN
EVERY TEST WE COULD. NOTHING.
CAN YOU PLAY IT FOR ME?
I LOVE YOU.
LIKE I SAID, 20 SECONDS
OF WHITE NOISE. NOTHING.
I THOUGHT WHITE
NOISE WAS EVERYTHING.
THE DEFINITION OF WHITE NOISE IS
EVERY SOUND IN THE AUDIO SPECTRUM...
PLAYED AT THE SAME LEVEL, BUT IN TERMS
OF USEFUL SOUND, EVERYTHING IS NOTHING.
RUN IT AGAIN FOR ME, WILL YA?
DO YOU HEAR ANYTHING?
WHAT WAS THAT?
ITS WAVE PATTERN LOOKS LIKE...
TECHNICALLY LIKE A
SECTION OF PINK NOISE.
"PINK NOISE"? IT'S THE STAGE
BETWEEN WHITE AND BROWN NOISE.
MORE ORDER THAN WHITE,
LESS ORDER THAN BROWN.
THEN, THIS IS NOT AN
ACCIDENT. SOMEONE MADE IT.
SURE LOOKS THAT WAY, BUT
I DON'T THINK IT'S ANY BIG...
DID YOU SEND THIS TO ME? GETTIN'
A LITTLE PARANOID ARE WE, MR. B?
DID YOU SEND THIS TO ME, DOUG?
NO, MAN, I DIDN'T. WHY WOULD I?
HEY, HOW'D YOU GET IT ANYWAY? I
THOUGHT I SENT IT BACK TO THE SEATTLE P.D.
MR. BLACK?
THREE WEEKS AGO LAST TUESDAY,
HER NAME WAS CAROL WHEATLEY.
GOIN' TO VISIT HER
MOM FOR THE WEEKEND.
SHE GOT HIT SIDE-ON IN THE
WRONG LANE BY A BIG RIG.
TOTALED. WE WERE PICKIN' BITS OF
HER OUT OF THE WRECK FOR HALF A DAY.
SHE FALL ASLEEP?
WE LOOKED AT THAT.
BUT THE DRIVER SWORE BLIND
THAT WHEN HE FIRST SAW HER,
SHE WAS STOPPED ON HER SIDE OF
THE ROAD, AND SHE WAS OUTSIDE THE CAR.
THEN SHE RAN BACK TO THE CAR, GOT
IN AND JUST REVERSED IN FRONT OF HIM.
SHE RAN LIKE SHE WAS BEING
CHASED? SHE RAN. LIKE PEOPLE RUN.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, FRANK.
SAD AND BAD, BUT AN ACCIDENT.
I DIDN'T ASK THEM TO
SHOW YOU THE TAPE.
IT WAS SNOWING. NO.
AND THERE WAS ICE. NO.
NO ICE. THE ROAD WAS FINE.
FRANK,
HOW ABOUT TELLIN'
ME WHY YOU'RE HERE?
MRS. WHEATLEY, MY NAME IS
FRANK BLACK. I WORK WITH THE F.B.I.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER.
COME ON IN. THANK YOU.
A TRUCK RAN INTO HER CAR.
THE POLICE SAID HE MUST
HAVE BEEN DOIN' NEARLY 80.
THE TRUCK DRIVER SAID
SHE REVERSED INTO HIM.
NO. NO, HE... HIT HER.
HE WAS DOIN' NEARLY 80. THE
POLICE WOULDN'T LET ME SEE.
THEY HAD TO IDENTIFY HER
BODY FROM HER DENTAL RECORDS.
MRS. WHEATLEY,
IS IT POSSIBLE SHE DID
REVERSE INTO HIS TRUCK?
ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY
THAT SH-SHE KILLED HERSELF?
- IS THAT POSSIBLE?
- NO.
SHE WAS A HAPPY...
SHE WAS HAPPY.
DID SOMEBODY DROWN? THEY FELL
THROUGH THE ICE AND DROWNED.
WHO WAS IT, MRS. WHEATLEY?
HIS NAME WAS... NEIL QUINN.
IT-IT WAS YEARS AGO,
BACK EAST. UH-HUH.
THE ICE WAS TOO THIN.
SHE WAS LIGHT
ENOUGH AND HE WASN'T.
IT WASN'T HER FAULT.
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS.
WHO ARE YOU?
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
EXCUSE ME.
WHAT'S UP, GEIBS? I CALLED
ANDY McCLAREN, FRANK.
HE KNEW NOTHIN' ABOUT YOUR TRIP.
SAID HE CERTAINLY
HADN'T AUTHORIZED IT.
I DON'T NEED McCLAREN'S
AUTHORIZATION.
FURTHERMORE, HE SAID THE F.B.I.
HAS NO JURISDICTION IN THIS CASE,
AND NO INTEREST IN IT...
NONE. NO, THEY DON'T.
FRANK,
YOU KNOW I HAVE THE
GREATEST RESPECT FOR YOU.
BUT YOU HAVE GOT TO TELL ME
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT HERE.
I DON'T KNOW. GEEZ, FRANK.
YOU NEVER DON'T
KNOW. WHAT IS IT?
I THINK THAT CAROL WHEATLEY
DIED BECAUSE OF THE TAPE.
THERE ARE MORE TAPES.

HEY, FRANK. WE FOUND THIS
ALL BURNED UP IN THE FIREPLACE.
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER
ONE OF THOSE CASSETTES.
WHETHER WE GET ANYTHING OFF
OF IT OR NOT IS ANOTHER STORY.
THE CASE WAS FOUND
ON TOP OF THIS ENVELOPE.
THE ADDRESS IS HANDWRITTEN,
POSTED YESTERDAY IN SEATTLE.
A STAMP FROM THREE
YEARS AGO. WE'RE TRACIN' IT.
- THE VICTIM?
- JERRY ORIGO. HE WAS A DESIGNER.
RICH, SINGLE, GAY. MAYBE HE
BROUGHT THE WRONG GUY HOME.
THE NEIGHBORS SAID
THEY HEARD SHOUTING.
HE BURNED TO DEATH. FRANK.
THE POOR SON OF A BITCH WENT
OUT THE WINDOW, SIX FLOORS DOWN.
THE M.E. ALREADY CONFIRMED HE
DIED OF INJURIES FROM THE FALL.
WHERE DO YOU GET THIS FIRE
STUFF? THE POSITION HE FELL IN.
PUGILISTIC. HE THOUGHT
HE WAS BURNING.
LOOK INTO HIS PAST. GO
BACK AS FAR AS YOU CAN.
THERE'LL BE PEOPLE DEAD BY FIRE.
EXCUSE ME.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- I COULD ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION.
McCLAREN SENT ME.
HE WAS CONCERNED.
HE GOT A CALL FROM
DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE.
THIS IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.
McCLAREN'S VIEW IS THAT...
IF YOU'RE USING F.B.I.
CREDENTIALS TO GAIN ACCESS...
TO CRIME SCENES TO INTERVIEW
PEOPLE, THEN IT IS HIS BUSINESS.
SOMEONE SENT ME A CASSETTE
THROUGH BUREAU INTERNAL MAIL...
OF A CRIME SCENE
HERE IN SEATTLE...
WHERE CAROL WHEATLEY
DIED. WHO SENT IT?
SOMEONE NAMED VICTOR CHYREN.
HE DOESN'T EXIST, NOT
IN THE F.B.I., ANYWAY.
HAS THIS SOMETHING TO DO WITH
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP? I DON'T KNOW.
IS THERE A CRIME HERE, FRANK?
TWO PEOPLE RECEIVED
THE CASSETTES.
THEY DIED FROM WHAT'S
ON THEM. DO YOU KNOW WHY?

- YOU WERE RIGHT
ABOUT THE FIRE.
- I WAS.
TWELVE YEARS AGO, JERRY ORIGO
WAS A BUILDING SUPERVISOR...
- ON A CITY HOUSING PROJECT
IN NEW ORLEANS.
- AH.
THE SMOKE ALARM BATTERIES
WERE NEVER INSTALLED.
THE EMERGENCY EXITS
WERE LOCKED SHUT.
THERE WAS A FIRE.
SEVEN PEOPLE DIED.
ORIGO WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR SAFETY INSPECTIONS.
HE WAS INVESTIGATED
AND NEVER CHARGED.
- DO YOU THINK WHOEVER
SENT HIM THE TAPE KNEW THIS?
- I DON'T KNOW.
YOU THINK THERE'S SOME KIND OF
SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES ON THESE TAPES?
- IT'S POSSIBLE.
- BUT THE F.B.I. LAB
FOUND NOTHING.
THE SOVIETS WORKED WITH
BIO-ACOUSTICAL TECHNOLOGY BACK IN THE '70s.
THEY MANAGED TO SEND
COMMANDS VIA WHITE NOISE BANDS,
DIRECTLY INTO THE SUBCONSCIOUS.
- THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS.
- BUT IF THE TECHNOLOGY
WERE THERE,
- WHY DIDN'T THE LAB FIND IT?
- WELL, LABS CAN MAKE MISTAKES.
BUT MOST PEOPLE AREN'T
AFFECTED BY THE TAPES.
WHAT DO YOU HEAR
ON THE TAPES, FRANK?
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?
SOME PEOPLE LISTEN TO THESE TAPES, AND
THEY HEAR WHAT THEY MOST FEAR HEARING.
THEY SUFFER FROM
MASSIVE HALLUCINATIONS.
ENOUGH TO DRIVE THEM TO SUICIDE?
EVERY CHOICE HAS A CONSEQUENCE.
ST. PETER'S GATE.
ST. PETER'S GATE. YES.
- SOMEONE'S STANDING
IN JUDGMENT.
- YES.
YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHY YOU
GOT SENT THE CASSETTE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE
TO DO WITH YOU, FRANK?
I THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO
TRACE WHO SENT THE TAPES.
YOU HAVE A POSTMARK, YOU HAVE
A SIGNATURE, YOU HAVE PAPER.
YOU-YOU'VE GOT D.N.A. ON

WEAPONS-GRADE ANTHRAX TAKES
APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MICROSCOPIC SPORES...
TO INTRODUCE AN INFECTION.
THE MARBURG VARIANT THEY
CREATED IN THE LAB TAKES THREE.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP
DEVELOPED A VACCINE...
SO PEOPLE CAN BE INOCULATED.
THEY ONLY MADE ENOUGH
FOR GROUP MEMBERS.
AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND THEIR FAMILIES, PETER.
THE LETTER JERRY
ORIGO RECEIVED WAS
DISPATCHED FROM THE
HILLSBOROUGH SUB-OFFICE.
THEIR VANS COLLECT
FROM 83 MAILBOXES.
BUT IT'S AN A.M. TIME STAMP,
WHICH MAKES IT LIKELY...
IT WAS MAILED EITHER FROM
THE POST OFFICE ITSELF,
OR FROM ONE OF THE 21
BOXES THAT HAS AN A.M. PICKUP.
YOU CAN COVER 21
MAILBOXES? I THINK SO.
OKAY. NO JOY ON PRINTS, D.N.A.
CASSETTE, STANDARD ISSUE...
SEVERAL MILLION SOLD EVERY YEAR.
PAPER FROM PORTLAND... SELLS
EVERYWHERE IN THE NORTHWEST.
THE HANDWRITING... PSYCH ANALYSIS
FROM QUANTICO SAYS OUR GUY'S A WOMAN.
BUT NO CLUE TO IDENTITY.
THEN, IT'S THE MAILBOXES.
YEAH.
DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE, HAVE
YOU EVER SEEN FRANK BLACK...
WALK AWAY FROM AN
INVESTIGATION BEFORE?
THIS WAS A DEAD
CASE. HE CAME HERE,
HE GOT IT OPENED UP,
AND THEN HE LEAVES?
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I THINK
HE WAS SCARED OF SOMETHING.
SOMETHIN' LIKE WHAT? JUST
BEFORE HE LEFT SEATTLE,
HIS WIFE DIED IN THE
VIRAL OUTBREAK. YEAH.
BUT EVEN BEFORE THAT,
THINGS WERE... FALLIN' APART.
I MEAN,
TO THIS DAY, I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY LEFT EACH OTHER.
THEY SEPARATED?
CATHERINE WAS HIS CENTER.
HE'S NEVER BEEN THE SAME.
THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO WORKED
WITH FRANK HERE IN THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
PETER WATTS. YEAH.
HE WAS IN SEATTLE AT
THE TIME OF THE OUTBREAK.
HE SURVIVED THE VIRUS.
HIS WHOLE FAMILY DID.
SO DID FRANK, SO
DID JORDAN, BUT...
NOT CATHERINE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE
GUILT HE MUST FEEL?
IN THE MIDDLE AGES,
DURING THE BLACK
PLAGUE, PEOPLE USED TO
GATHER THEIR FAMILIES...
AND TAKE THEM TO THE
MOUNTAINS OR THE FOREST,
AWAY FROM THE POPULATION.
UGH. CAN WE GO HOME NOW?
WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR
A WHILE, SWEETHEART. OKAY.
COME ON, SWEETIE. UGH.
- MOMMY,
I'LL BE RIGHT OUTSIDE.
- OKAY, SWEETIE.
OUR NEW YELLOW HOUSE.
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT RIGHT
THERE! SEATTLE P.D.!
UP AGAINST THE WALL!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?
COME ON! THAT'S MY BAG!
- WHAT'S THIS ABOUT, MAN?
- THESE YOURS? WHOSE ARE THEY?
IT'S THE COMPANY I WORK
FOR. WHAT'S THIS COMPANY DO?
IT RECORDS STUFF. YOU KNOW,
NATURE, WAVES AND CRAP...
- PUT BABIES TO SLEEP.
- DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE WRITING?
YEAH. YEAH, IT'S ALICE.
ALICE SEVERIN? IS THIS
YOUR HANDWRITING?
YES.
- DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?
- I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
YOU WROTE TO HIM.
DID I WRITE TO HIM?
YOU SENT HIM A
CASSETTE. WHAT WAS ON IT?
NOTHING. WHITE NOISE.
- IS THAT A CRIME?
- TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AT THOSE PHOTOS.
HE DIED. HE THREW HIMSELF
OFF A SIX-STORY BUILDING.
SHE DIED. SHE REVERSED HER
LITTLE CAR STRAIGHT INTO A TRUCK.
THEY WERE BOTH
LISTENING TO YOUR TAPES.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?
WHAT WAS ON THOSE TAPES?
- YOU SAID THERE WAS NOTHING.
- THERE WAS WHITE NOISE.
YOU SAID WHITE
NOISE WAS NOTHING.
- WHY SEND THEM NOTHING?
- PERHAPS I WAS MISTAKEN.
I THOUGHT IT WAS WHALE MUSIC.
DID YOU KNOW THAT WHALES COULD TALK
TO EACH OTHER OVER THOUSANDS OF MILES?
WE DON'T HEAR VERY WELL, DO WE?
THEY DIED... HORRIBLE DEATHS...
HALLUCINATING, LIKE THE TAPES...
TRIGGERED A CONNECTION
TO THEIR PASTS.
OUR PASTS ARE WHAT WE ARE.
EVERY CHOICE HAS ITS CONSEQUENCE.
- ST. PETER'S GATE.
- EVERYBODY COMES
TO PETER'S GATE.
NOT EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH.
- WHO JUDGES THEM?
- WE DO.
AGENT HOLLIS?
THEY FOUND THIS IN HER ROOM.
IT'S LIKE A PRIVATE MAILING LIST.
THERE'S HUNDREDS OF ADDRESSES.
WE'LL CHECK 'EM, BUT THIS
ONE WE ALREADY KNOW.
IT'S WHERE FRANK USED TO LIVE.
WE'VE GOTTA CALL FRANK.
HE CHECKED OUT OF THE HOTEL
THIS MORNING, BUT HE'S NOT HOME.
HE NEVER ARRIVED HOME.
I KNOW WHERE HE'S GONE.
THE EARLY SYMPTOMS, WHICH
A VICTIM MAY NOT RECOGNIZE,
END IN A SENSE
OF DISORIENTATION.
MONITOR ANY INCREASE
IN BODY TEMPERATURE...
CAN WE TURN IT OFF?
IF YOU BOTH BECAME
SICK, 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 TOLD ME THAT...
THEY ONLY HAD ENOUGH
FOR THEIR MEMBERS.
CATHERINE.
CATHERINE. CATHERINE.
CATHERINE.
BY THE TIME THE PLAGUE HIT
THE NEWS, FRANK HAD GONE.
WE CALLED HIS HOUSE.
THERE WAS NO ANSWER.
I WENT AROUND, BUT
THE PLACE WAS EMPTY.
CATHERINE AND
JORDAN HAD GONE TOO.
BY THAT TIME, THINGS
WERE GETTIN' PRETTY WILD.
I REMEMBER THE REPORTS.
YEAH, RIGHT. THE REPORTS.
THE WAY THE MEDIA TOOK IT UP, YOU WOULD
HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BLACK PLAGUE.
THE WHOLE OF THE NORTHWEST
DROPPIN' DEAD LIKE FLIES.
AND THE FUSS WAS
SELF-FULFILLING...
ROADS JAMMED, PEOPLE SHOOTIN' AT
EACH OTHER IN STORES, AT JUNCTIONS,
NATIONAL GUARD
PROTECTIN' THE HOSPITALS.
AND THEN IT JUST WENT AWAY.
"IT VECTORED OUT," THEY SAID.
AT MOST, IT TOOK
ABOUT 80 PEOPLE.
IT WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT... NOT THE END
OF THE WORLD LIKE SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT.
STRANGE HE LEFT TOWN.
IT'S ALMOST AS IF FRANK
HAD SOME KIND OF WARNING.
YEAH. DIDN'T DO
HIM A LOT OF GOOD.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD
TAKEN TO THE MOUNTAINS...
TRYING TO ESCAPE
THE PANIC IN THE CITY.
BUT EITHER THE VIRUS WAS ALREADY
IN THEM, OR IT FOLLOWED THEM.
FRANK HAD COME UP HERE, TOO,
TO A CABIN HE OWNED.
IT'S WHERE WE FOUND JORDAN.
OR SHE FOUND US.
SHE TOLD US WHERE
WE COULD FIND FRANK.
WHEN WE GOT TO HIM, HE WAS IN A
TERRIBLE STATE, REFUSING TO SPEAK.
I FOUND OUT LATER HE
BLAMED THE OUTBREAK,
CATHERINE'S DEATH,
THE WHOLE THING,
HE BLAMED IT ON THE
MILLENNIUM GROUP.
I THINK HE BLAMED IT ON HIMSELF.
IF HE'S OUT IN THE WOODS, HE WON'T
SURVIVE. IT'S FREEZING OUT THERE.
HE WAS SENT A TAPE.
JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.
WHERE IS HE?
HE WENT TO FIND HIS WIFE.
FRANK! FRANK!
CATHERINE.
CATHERINE!
CATHERINE!
I COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU. I DIDN'T PROTECT...
I COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU. I HAD A CHOICE.
WILL WE ALWAYS BE
TOGETHER? I LOVE YOU.
OH, CATHERINE. SHH.
AM I DEAD?
HUSH. YOU'RE HURT.
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU. I WANT...
EVERY DAY, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU.
OH, FRANK, DON'T.
AND THEN I LOOK AT JORDAN... I
LOOK AT OUR DAUGHTER'S FACE.
AND DAY AFTER DAY, SHE
LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE YOU.
I CAN'T LET GO.
YOU HAVE TO PROTECT HER.
I DIDN'T PROTECT YOU.
THERE WAS NOTHING
YOU COULD HAVE DONE.
OH, MY GOD.
THEY WANTED ME TO JOIN THEM.
THEY WANTED ME TO JOIN THE
GROUP, AND THEN YOU'D BE SAVED.
PETER WATTS'S FAMILY'S ALIVE.
HIS DAUGHTERS HAVE A
MOTHER. THEY SET THE TABLE,
AND... AND SHE SITS
DOWN TO EAT WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW THAT JORDAN SETS
AN EMPTY PLACE... EVERY NIGHT.
EVERY NIGHT SHE SETS AN
EMPTY PLACE, AND I CAN'T...
I'LL NEVER ASK HER TO STOP.
BELIEVE IN THEM,
AND YOU'LL BE SAVED.
YOU CHOSE ME, NOT THEM.
THEN I LOST YOU,
AND JORDAN LOST HER MOTHER.
YOU WOULD BE ALIVE.
TO LIVE WHAT KIND OF LIFE? WHAT?
THEY HAD ALREADY
TAKEN TOO MUCH OF YOU.
WHAT... WE BEAT THEM.
ALL OF THEIR PREDICTIONS
AND THEIR MYSTERIES...
AND THEIR POWER... YOU CHOSE ME.
WE CHOSE EACH OTHER.
I LET YOU DIE.
YOU WALKED AWAY ALONE TO DIE.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER VERY WELL.
YOU WERE WITH ME.
WHEN EVERYTHING HAD FALLEN
APART, YOU STAYED WITH ME.
WE WERE TOGETHER.
I LOVE YOU.
DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, CATHERINE.
OH, MY GOD! FRANK!
OH, DEAR LORD. NO.
HE'S WARM. HE'S ALIVE.
FEEL.
OH, FRANK, IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
HANG IN THERE, OKAY?
FRANK. FRANK, I'VE GOT
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
"VICTOR CHYREN," THE NAME ON THE
INTERNAL ENVELOPE THAT CAME TO YOU?
IT'S IN NOSTRADAMUS.
YEAH. CENTURY SIX, QUATRAIN 70.
YOU KNEW?
EXTENSION 6-70.
WELL, LISTEN TO THIS. "CHYREN:
THE CHIEF OF THE WORLD.
THE GREAT CHYREN, WITH
THE SOLE TITLE 'VICTOR.'"
AT THE END OF THE
WORLD. IT'S A PROPHECY.
IT'S THE MILLENNIUM GROUP AGAIN.
IS ALICE PART OF IT? NO.
SHE HAS GREAT POWER.
THEY WILL EITHER
APPROPRIATE IT OR DESTROY IT.
THE GROUP SENT YOU THE TAPE. WHAT
WERE THEY TRYING TO DO, KILL YOU?
WELL, YOU KNOW THAT LIST
THAT YOU FOUND IN THE STUDIO?
YEAH. THE LIST OF NAMES?
UH-HUH. GEIBELHOUSE
CALLED. HE CHECKED IT ALL OUT.
NO MORE DEATHS.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEIR INTENTIONS WERE.
BUT I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY GAVE ME MY WIFE BACK.
I MADE THIS!
WILL WE ALWAYS BE TOGETHER?
I COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU. I DIDN'T PROTECT...
I COULD'VE SAVED
YOU. I HAD A CHOICE.
WILL WE ALWAYS BE TOGETHER?
I LOVE YOU.

BIO-ACOUSTICAL TECHNOLOGY BACK IN THE '70s.
THEY MANAGED TO SEND
COMMANDS VIA WHITE NOISE BANDS,
DIRECTLY INTO THE SUBCONSCIOUS.
- THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS.
- BUT IF THE TECHNOLOGY
WERE THERE,
- WHY DIDN'T THE LAB FIND IT?
- WELL, LABS CAN MAKE MISTAKES.
BUT MOST PEOPLE AREN'T
AFFECTED BY THE TAPES.
WHAT DO YOU HEAR
ON THE TAPES, FRANK?
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?
SOME PEOPLE LISTEN TO THESE TAPES, AND
THEY HEAR WHAT THEY MOST FEAR HEARING.
THEY SUFFER FROM
MASSIVE HALLUCINATIONS.
ENOUGH TO DRIVE THEM TO SUICIDE?
EVERY CHOICE HAS A CONSEQUENCE.
ST. PETER'S GATE.
ST. PETER'S GATE. YES.
- SOMEONE'S STANDING
IN JUDGMENT.
- YES.
YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHY YOU
GOT SENT THE CASSETTE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE
TO DO WITH YOU, FRANK?
I THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO
TRACE WHO SENT THE TAPES.
YOU HAVE A POSTMARK, YOU HAVE
A SIGNATURE, YOU HAVE PAPER.
YOU-YOU'VE GOT D.N.A. ON
THE SPITTLE ON THE ENVELOPE...
AND THE STAMPS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I WON'T BE OF ANY USE
TO YOU. I'M GOIN' HOME.

WEAPONS-GRADE ANTHRAX TAKES
APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MICROSCOPIC SPORES...
TO INTRODUCE AN INFECTION.
THE MARBURG VARIANT THEY
CREATED IN THE LAB TAKES THREE.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP
DEVELOPED A VACCINE...
SO PEOPLE CAN BE INOCULATED.
THEY ONLY MADE ENOUGH
FOR GROUP MEMBERS.
AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND THEIR FAMILIES, PETER.
THE LETTER JERRY
ORIGO RECEIVED WAS
DISPATCHED FROM THE
HILLSBOROUGH SUB-OFFICE.
THEIR VANS COLLECT
FROM 83 MAILBOXES.
BUT IT'S AN A.M. TIME STAMP,
WHICH MAKES IT LIKELY...
IT WAS MAILED EITHER FROM
THE POST OFFICE ITSELF,
OR FROM ONE OF THE 21
BOXES THAT HAS AN A.M. PICKUP.
YOU CAN COVER 21
MAILBOXES? I THINK SO.
OKAY. NO JOY ON PRINTS, D.N.A.
CASSETTE, STANDARD ISSUE...
SEVERAL MILLION SOLD EVERY YEAR.
PAPER FROM PORTLAND... SELLS
EVERYWHERE IN THE NORTHWEST.
THE HANDWRITING... PSYCH ANALYSIS
FROM QUANTICO SAYS OUR GUY'S A WOMAN.
BUT NO CLUE TO IDENTITY.
THEN, IT'S THE MAILBOXES.
YEAH.
DETECTIVE GEIBELHOUSE, HAVE
YOU EVER SEEN FRANK BLACK...
WALK AWAY FROM AN
INVESTIGATION BEFORE?
THIS WAS A DEAD
CASE. HE CAME HERE,
HE GOT IT OPENED UP,
AND THEN HE LEAVES?
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I THINK
HE WAS SCARED OF SOMETHING.
SOMETHIN' LIKE WHAT? JUST
BEFORE HE LEFT SEATTLE,
HIS WIFE DIED IN THE
VIRAL OUTBREAK. YEAH.
BUT EVEN BEFORE THAT,
THINGS WERE... FALLIN' APART.
I MEAN,
TO THIS DAY, I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY LEFT EACH OTHER.
THEY SEPARATED?
CATHERINE WAS HIS CENTER.
HE'S NEVER BEEN THE SAME.
THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO WORKED
WITH FRANK HERE IN THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
PETER WATTS. YEAH.
HE WAS IN SEATTLE AT
THE TIME OF THE OUTBREAK.
HE SURVIVED THE VIRUS.
HIS WHOLE FAMILY DID.
SO DID FRANK, SO
DID JORDAN, BUT...
NOT CATHERINE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE
GUILT HE MUST FEEL?
IN THE MIDDLE AGES,
DURING THE BLACK
PLAGUE, PEOPLE USED TO
GATHER THEIR FAMILIES...
AND TAKE THEM TO THE
MOUNTAINS OR THE FOREST,
AWAY FROM THE POPULATION.
UGH. CAN WE GO HOME NOW?
WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR
A WHILE, SWEETHEART. OKAY.
COME ON, SWEETIE. UGH.
- MOMMY,
I'LL BE RIGHT OUTSIDE.
- OKAY, SWEETIE.
OUR NEW YELLOW HOUSE.
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT RIGHT
THERE! SEATTLE P.D.!
UP AGAINST THE WALL!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?
COME ON! THAT'S MY BAG!
- WHAT'S THIS ABOUT, MAN?
- THESE YOURS? WHOSE ARE THEY?
IT'S THE COMPANY I WORK
FOR. WHAT'S THIS COMPANY DO?
IT RECORDS STUFF. YOU KNOW,
NATURE, WAVES AND CRAP...
- PUT BABIES TO SLEEP.
- DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE WRITING?
YEAH. YEAH, IT'S ALICE.
ALICE SEVERIN? IS THIS
YOUR HANDWRITING?
YES.
- DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?
- I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
YOU WROTE TO HIM.
DID I WRITE TO HIM?
YOU SENT HIM A
CASSETTE. WHAT WAS ON IT?
NOTHING. WHITE NOISE.
- IS THAT A CRIME?
- TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AT THOSE PHOTOS.
HE DIED. HE THREW HIMSELF
OFF A SIX-STORY BUILDING.
SHE DIED. SHE REVERSED HER
LITTLE CAR STRAIGHT INTO A TRUCK.
THEY WERE BOTH
LISTENING TO YOUR TAPES.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?
WHAT WAS ON THOSE TAPES?
- YOU SAID THERE WAS NOTHING.
- THERE WAS WHITE NOISE.
YOU SAID WHITE
NOISE WAS NOTHING.
- WHY SEND THEM NOTHING?
- PERHAPS I WAS MISTAKEN.
I THOUGHT IT WAS WHALE MUSIC.
DID YOU KNOW THAT WHALES COULD TALK
TO EACH OTHER OVER THOUSANDS OF MILES?
WE DON'T HEAR VERY WELL, DO WE?
THEY DIED... HORRIBLE DEATHS...
HALLUCINATING, LIKE THE TAPES...
TRIGGERED A CONNECTION
TO THEIR PASTS.
OUR PASTS ARE WHAT WE ARE.
EVERY CHOICE HAS ITS CONSEQUENCE.
- ST. PETER'S GATE.
- EVERYBODY COMES
TO PETER'S GATE.
NOT EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH.
- WHO JUDGES THEM?
- WE DO.
AGENT HOLLIS?
THEY FOUND THIS IN HER ROOM.
IT'S LIKE A PRIVATE MAILING LIST.
THERE'S HUNDREDS OF ADDRESSES.
WE'LL CHECK 'EM, BUT THIS
ONE WE ALREADY KNOW.
IT'S WHERE FRANK USED TO LIVE.
WE'VE GOTTA CALL FRANK.
HE CHECKED OUT OF THE HOTEL
THIS MORNING, BUT HE'S NOT HOME.
HE NEVER ARRIVED HOME.
I KNOW WHERE HE'S GONE.
THE EARLY SYMPTOMS, WHICH
A VICTIM MAY NOT RECOGNIZE,
END IN A SENSE
OF DISORIENTATION.
MONITOR ANY INCREASE
IN BODY TEMPERATURE...
CAN WE TURN IT OFF?
IF YOU BOTH BECAME
SICK, 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 TOLD ME THAT...
THEY ONLY HAD ENOUGH
FOR THEIR MEMBERS.
CATHERINE.
CATHERINE. CATHERINE.
CATHERINE.
BY THE TIME THE PLAGUE HIT
THE NEWS, FRANK HAD GONE.
WE CALLED HIS HOUSE.
THERE WAS NO ANSWER.
I WENT AROUND, BUT
THE PLACE WAS EMPTY.
CATHERINE AND
JORDAN HAD GONE TOO.
BY THAT TIME, THINGS
WERE GETTIN' PRETTY WILD.
I REMEMBER THE REPORTS.
YEAH, RIGHT. THE REPORTS.
THE WAY THE MEDIA TOOK IT UP, YOU WOULD
HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BLACK PLAGUE.
THE WHOLE OF THE NORTHWEST
DROPPIN' DEAD LIKE FLIES.
AND THE FUSS WAS
SELF-FULFILLING...
ROADS JAMMED, PEOPLE SHOOTIN' AT
EACH OTHER IN STORES, AT JUNCTIONS,
NATIONAL GUARD
PROTECTIN' THE HOSPITALS.
AND THEN IT JUST WENT AWAY.
"IT VECTORED OUT," THEY SAID.
AT MOST, IT TOOK
ABOUT 80 PEOPLE.
IT WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT... NOT THE END
OF THE WORLD LIKE SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT.
STRANGE HE LEFT TOWN.
IT'S ALMOST AS IF FRANK
HAD SOME KIND OF WARNING.
YEAH. DIDN'T DO
HIM A LOT OF GOOD.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD
TAKEN TO THE MOUNTAINS...
TRYING TO ESCAPE
THE PANIC IN THE CITY.
BUT EITHER THE VIRUS WAS ALREADY
IN THEM, OR IT FOLLOWED THEM.
FRANK HAD COME UP HERE, TOO,
TO A CABIN HE OWNED.
IT'S WHERE WE FOUND JORDAN.
OR SHE FOUND US.
SHE TOLD US WHERE
WE COULD FIND FRANK.
WHEN WE GOT TO HIM, HE WAS IN A
TERRIBLE STATE, REFUSING TO SPEAK.
I FOUND OUT LATER HE
BLAMED THE OUTBREAK,
CATHERINE'S DEATH,
THE WHOLE THING,
HE BLAMED IT ON THE
MILLENNIUM GROUP.
I THINK HE BLAMED IT ON HIMSELF.
IF HE'S OUT IN THE WOODS, HE WON'T
SURVIVE. IT'S FREEZING OUT THERE.
HE WAS SENT A TAPE.
JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.
WHERE IS HE?
HE WENT TO FIND HIS WIFE.
FRANK! FRANK!
CATHERINE.
CATHERINE!
CATHERINE!
I COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU. I DIDN'T PROTECT...
I COULD HAVE SAVED
YOU. I HAD A CHOICE.
WILL WE ALWAYS BE
TOGETHER? I LOVE YOU.
OH, CATHERINE. SHH.
AM I DEAD?
HUSH. YOU'RE HURT.
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU. I WANT...
EVERY DAY, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU.
OH, FRANK, DON'T.
AND THEN I LOOK AT JORDAN... I
LOOK AT OUR DAUGHTER'S FACE.
AND DAY AFTER DAY, SHE
LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE YOU.
I CAN'T LET GO.
YOU HAVE TO PROTECT HER.
I DIDN'T PROTECT YOU.
THERE WAS NOTHING
YOU COULD HAVE DONE.
OH, MY GOD.
THEY WANTED ME TO JOIN THEM.
THEY WANTED ME TO JOIN THE
GROUP, AND THEN YOU'D BE SAVED.
PETER WATTS'S FAMILY'S ALIVE.
HIS DAUGHTERS HAVE A
MOTHER. THEY SET THE TABLE,
AND... AND SHE SITS
DOWN TO EAT WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW THAT JORDAN SETS
AN EMPTY PLACE... EVERY NIGHT.
EVERY NIGHT SHE SETS AN
EMPTY PLACE, AND I CAN'T...
I'LL NEVER ASK HER TO STOP.
BELIEVE IN THEM,
AND YOU'LL BE SAVED.
YOU CHOSE ME, NOT THEM.
THEN I LOST YOU,
AND JORDAN LOST HER MOTHER.
YOU WOULD BE ALIVE.
TO LIVE WHAT KIND OF LIFE? WHAT?
THEY HAD ALREADY
TAKEN TOO MUCH OF YOU.
WHAT... WE BEAT THEM.
ALL OF THEIR PREDICTIONS
AND THEIR MYSTERIES...
AND THEIR POWER... YOU CHOSE ME.
WE CHOSE EACH OTHER.
I LET YOU DIE.
YOU WALKED AWAY ALONE TO DIE.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER VERY WELL.
YOU WERE WITH ME.
WHEN EVERYTHING HAD FALLEN
APART, YOU STAYED WITH ME.
WE WERE TOGETHER.
I LOVE YOU.
DON'T GO.
DON'T GO, CATHERINE.
OH, MY GOD! FRANK!
OH, DEAR LORD. NO.
HE'S WARM. HE'S ALIVE.
FEEL.
OH, FRANK, IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
HANG IN THERE, OKAY?
FRANK. FRANK, I'VE GOT
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
"VICTOR CHYREN," THE NAME ON THE
INTERNAL ENVELOPE THAT CAME TO YOU?
IT'S IN NOSTRADAMUS.
YEAH. CENTURY SIX, QUATRAIN 70.
YOU KNEW?
EXTENSION 6-70.
WELL, LISTEN TO THIS. "CHYREN:
THE CHIEF OF THE WORLD.
THE GREAT CHYREN, WITH
THE SOLE TITLE 'VICTOR.'"
AT THE END OF THE
WORLD. IT'S A PROPHECY.
IT'S THE MILLENNIUM GROUP AGAIN.
IS ALICE PART OF IT? NO.
SHE HAS GREAT POWER.
THEY WILL EITHER
APPROPRIATE IT OR DESTROY IT.
THE GROUP SENT YOU THE TAPE. WHAT
WERE THEY TRYING TO DO, KILL YOU?
WELL, YOU KNOW THAT LIST
THAT YOU FOUND IN THE STUDIO?
YEAH. THE LIST OF NAMES?
UH-HUH. GEIBELHOUSE
CALLED. HE CHECKED IT ALL OUT.
NO MORE DEATHS.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEIR INTENTIONS WERE.
BUT I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY GAVE ME MY WIFE BACK.
I MADE THIS!
