Zoo (2015–2017): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

A year ago, the animals
started acting strangely,

but no one noticed...

until they began attacking,

coordinating,

evolving.

The animals were mutating,

and it was happening
faster than anyone expected.

The government came up with a plan.

Thanks to the Noah Objective,

in six to ten years, the
world's animal population

will be thriving once again.



Killing the animals? Play God
and repopulate the planet?

This is ridiculous.

But messing with Mother Nature

could be catastrophic,

so a group of us are
trying to save the animals.

Jackson Oz and Abraham Kenyatta,

animal experts.

Chloe Tousignant, an Intel operative.

Jamie Campbell,

a reporter who's been following
this story, found me,

Mitch Morgan, a veterinary pathologist.

Together, we're going to find a cure

for the animals.

Time is running out.



Previously on Zoo...

Our little secret that what?

My blood's changing? That I'm changing?

We'll keep this between the two of us.

There's something I should tell you.

Yeah. There is.

This is where we're going.

Caraquet.

You looked in my bag?

Yeah, and I saw pictures of me.

It was never about
you. It was about the leopard.

Some guys hired me to fly them up here.

- Where are the guys that hired you?
- I don't know.

Somebody's
got to look at your foot.

Oh, wow. That's not good.

What is this thing?

This is how
many animals they expect

to eliminate with the Noah Objective.

So General Davies
knows his big animal solution

will also kill millions of people.

We're gonna stop him.

_

Prepare the animal for transfer.

Yes, sir.

Get that crate over here.

_

You know, something tells
me you're still pissed.

You lied to me.

Over and over again.

About your girlfriend dying,

about why you're out here.

That's because I didn't want you to run,

which you did, anyway.

And for what it's worth, now
I've told you everything.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm scaring him away.

No, you're ringing the dinner bell.

They hear that gun go off, they're
all gonna come running.

Why'd you have to mention dinner?

Now I'm freezing and starving.

This is useless, everything's soaked.

Not everything.

Not my money.

- We have to.
- No, there's not...

It's the only dry thing that we have.

No, there's not a chance.

Hey!

We are going to die out here.

It is negative degrees.
We have no shelter.

If we don't get a fire lit soon,

a severed toe is
gonna feel like a massage.

You're right.

We're gonna die out here, anyway.

Not tonight.

I compared your blood to
our one-armed friend, and...

you have the same mutation.

So I'm gonna end up like him.

Probably.

Blood rain vultures.

Electric ants and Kovacs.

You all have the same mutated markers

in your genetic sequence.

Can you look straight ahead, please?

Okay.

Put your shirt on.

How is that even possible?

Humans share 50% of
their DNA with bananas,

so anything's possible.

Including a Triple-Helix.

See that?

That's what normal DNA looks like.

That's yours.

You and the vultures and
the ants and Kovacs,

you all have brand-new genes
on a brand-new strand of DNA.

I'm evolving.

Well, yeah, but... not in the good way.

Well, is there a way to fix
me, or is this checkmate?

I might have a way.

See, genes are kind of like switches.

Right now, the ones on your new strand,

they're all still off,
and that's a good thing.

But slowly...

they're gonna start to switch on.

And you're gonna start to change,

until you're not you anymore.

Unless I can figure out a way to fix it,

keep all your switches off.

So I'm like a phone, and, uh,

need to be restored to
my factory settings.

Is that right?

Well, my metaphor's way
better, but, yeah.

Five weeks, and Kovacs
went from this to that.

So I got five weeks.

I like deadlines.

You know what, Mitch?

Don't worry about me,
okay? Just fix the animals.

Human beings...

genetically...

are the most complex
living organisms, so...

if I can save you, I
can save the animals.

And if you can't?

Checkmate.

Son of a bitch.

Almost done.

Don't want you losing your whole foot.

Yeah, you just don't want to carry me.

What makes you so sure that your friends

are gonna meet you in Caraquet?

Before I took off from the compound,

I left a message on the roof.

A message?

Caraquet.

I spelled it out in rocks.

You think your friends are gonna be able

to spot a town name that
you wrote on a roof?

Yeah, they will.

Mitch will.

Mitch?

Yeah.

Well, you sure are putting a
lot of stock in this Mitch guy

if you think he's gonna
spot your little rock message,

know that it was you who left it,

make his way all the way to Caraquet.

Well, you don't know Mitch.

Hey.

Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?!

What's wrong with you?

Maybe I didn't tell you everything.

We need to go.

Time for a three-to-five minute break?

I can't.

Does no one on this team sleep?

What are you doing?

Looking for Jamie.

Assuming she travels an
average of three miles per hour,

with roughly ten hours of daylight,

this should be the search area.

Those are hard miles.

Through the woods, mountains.

With no food and proper gear,

even I'd have trouble doing that.

Jamie is uncommonly resourceful

for someone who grew
up with shopping malls

and cable TV.

Can't they send an extraction team?

"They"?

You know, the people you work for.

The people who gave you this plane.

We worked for Eleanor Lewis.

Now she's dead.

There is no "they."

You're on your own?

What do you expect to do?

Davies is a general.

Generals have armies. What do you have?

We found the cure
before, we'll do it again.

Five people stopping the Noah Objective

and curing the animals?

Kind of a tall order, no?

We can do it.

We're gonna lose.

So you're with us now.

Still haven't decided.

But when I commit to something...

I'm all in.

Where are you going?

Unlike you people, I
enjoy spending time in bed.

Perhaps I will take
that break after all.

Mitch. I've got something.

Hey, Chloe.

You got to see this.

Mitch found a link between Kovacs

and the mutated animals.

Does that link include you?

Busted.

Listen, I'm sorry.

We agreed not to tell anyone.

I know what we agreed to, Chloe,

- but Mitch agreed...
- All right.

Ross, Rachel.

I see where this is going.

I'm not interested in taking that ride.

Women don't like to be lied to.

- Moving on.
- Everybody knows that.

What do you got?

So the vultures and ants

found a way to alter our environment.

I may have found another.

General Davies transferred
this animal to Vancouver yesterday.

According to his report,
it says that this sloth

was capable of creating
an earthquake in Costa Rica.

I'm... sorry. Come again?

Says here the sloth has...

developed a call

that can generate a low
frequency infrasound?

Really?

And that can cause an earthquake?

I don't know.

I mean, a few years ago at
a football game in Seattle,

the Seahawks fans were
jumping and cheering so much

that it actually registered
on a nearby seismograph.

So you're saying that
General Davies' report is correct?

We need that sloth.

Clearly, its switch is turned on,

and if I can understand his switch,

might be able to figure out a way

to keep yours from turning on at all.

You think this little
guy has got the Triple-Helix?

I'd put money on it.

And understanding the Triple-Helix,

that's the key to saving your life.

Which is why your boyfriend
was right in telling me.

Let's go get our sloth.

_

Is it safe?

Yes.

The case is soundproof.

Is the jungle gym really necessary?

We're trying to keep it happy.

Just in case.

I thought you said it was safe!

It is! The sloth isn't causing this.

Something is. Everybody
out! Evacuate the building!

- Just drive.
- All right, sir.

You're sure this is the place?

This is the address
on the transfer order.

Looks like someone got here first.

Well, if the sloth

was in there, it's dead.

We don't know that.

Um, I'm missing something.

Why is it so important?

Yeah, listen, Abe,

there's something
that you should know...

Mitch thinks the
sloth can help make a cure.

Well, if it's the sloth we're after,

all we need is to walk
in the rainforest of Brazil.

At their speed, even you
could catch one, rafiki.

We need this sloth.

We've confirmed it
has an advanced mutation.

An eyewitness

saw military trucks.

- Davies was here.
- Looks that way.

They loaded a large crate and sped off

just before an earthquake hit.

That sounds like the sloth.

You think this was caused by a sloth?

Yep, and he had help.

You guys got to see this.

Moles.

Moles?

Yeah.

We got moles.

Moles and sloths.

Sounds like my dating
life after I got divorced.

Those
tunnels look a little large

to be mole tunnels.

That's why I said moles, plural.

Very plural.

Phenomenal creatures.

You know, they... they smell in stereo.

They got these sensory
receptors on their nose.

They're called Eimer's organs.

Amazing.

You're sure it's moles?

Yeah.

See how these scratch
marks are spaced out?

Moles are polydactyl.

Means they-they've got an extra thumb.

Well, it's actually an
extended wrist bone,

acts like a thumb for digging.

Okay, mole fetish aside, you
really think that moles

attacked that building?

Yes, I do.

It speaks to a whole
new, higher level of mutation,

because moles, they work alone.

They only come together to procreate.

Something we should all strive for.

They brought down one
building in a very large city.

Do you think they were targeting
the Noah Objective?

My guess is they were following

the low-frequency
vibration of the sloth.

All in favor of a swift exit?

No.

We got to follow the
moles to get the sloth.

Logan, wait!

We have to keep going.

No. I want to know what's going on.

Are those the guys that hired you?

Yes.

Well, just tell them the truth.

Tell them the leopard's gone.

It's more complicated than that.

I'm not moving until
you tell me what's going on.

You're gonna get us killed.

No, I'm gonna find a place to sit down.

'Cause, uh, running around on nine toes

kind of takes it out of a girl.

Okay, okay, okay, fine.

They paid me. They
hired me, like I said.

But they only paid me ten grand.

You had a whole lot
more than that in that bag.

I know. It wasn't mine.

It's a down payment from the buyer.

You're a thief. No.

I'm a dead man and so are you

if they find out that
we burned their money.

I mean, not a man, but a, you know...

you'll be dead.

All right, just...

They can't find us.

Let's go.

Hi, Logan.

You have something that belongs to us.

We'd like it back now.

I don't hear any animals.

Do moles make a noise?

Yeah.

High-pitched squeak.

Kind of like the ones I've been
hearing from Abe's room lately.

Keep moving.

Mitch, you sure these
things can't cave in on us?

No.

Moles are very precise

little architects.

All they do is work.

You know, the more you talk about moles,

the more I understand you.

What are you trying to say?

She's trying to say

that you love moles because you are one.

And I have to agree.

Hey, Chloe, we're flying blind here.

Okay, I'm accessing your transponders.

Should have eyes on you.

Now, start rolling VPNs.

I don't even know what a VPN is.

Virtual Private Network.

I'm gonna use Davies'
satellite to track the team.

You need to make sure Davies
doesn't track us.

If he runs a trace,

could we reverse it,

find his location?

No, they're using an encrypted firewall.

It will be like breaking into the CIA

using a bobby pin.

If you have access to all this,

can't you get a satellite

over New Brunswick?

For Jamie.

You're brilliant.

I just hope she's holding
her own out there.

I don't see any money.

I swear we tossed it when
we started running.

Just figured you guys would find it.

Well, we didn't.

And if we don't,

I'm gonna throw you off a cliff.

He's telling the truth.
I watched him do it.

It sounds like the clock's ticking.

You got to believe us.

Know what I think?

You two been working together

the whole time.

MAN; Hey, Mace!

I found it a mile back.

Next to a burned-out campfire.

You burnt the money?

It was my idea.

We needed to not freeze to death.

Nice try.

It's a good way to throw us
off, but I'm not buying it.

Tell you what, though.

I don't need two of
you to show me where it is.

Please...

I will get you your money, okay?

Too late.

Watch out!

That's not good.

Hey, what do you see up there?

Uh...

we have a little problem.

Actually about a
thousand little problems.

What is it?

Wall of dead moles.

Hey, Chloe?

We've hit a dead end.

Literally.

Sir.

As you were.

Someone just
accessed Eleanor Lewis' login.

I thought it was disabled.

It was.

Show me what they're looking at.

Okay, give me a second.

We have two problems, actually.

They know we're using their satellites.

They'll be starting their trace.

Uh, I can hold them off for a while.

But then what?

Plan B.

Which is?

Not sure yet.

Here.

I'm not touching that.

I need a sample.

Oh, man.

All right, Chloe, there's no trail left.

We're coming out.

They almost have a lock on our location.

That's the least of our concerns.

They have logged into the satellite.

Davies can see what we see.

If Davies knows where they
are, he'll send a team.

Get them out!

Okay, uh, Mitch?

I need you...

I need you to keep going.

What are you doing?!

Initiating plan B.

Chloe, there's nothing left to follow.

I need you to keep moving.

Keep moving where, Chloe?

Where are we headed?

Come on, what do you want us to do next?

Hold on, I'm about to find the sloth.

Oh, God! Go back!

Go back! Go back! Go back! Go back!

Oh, crap!

Chloe, find us a way out of here!

I need another minute.

We don't have a minute!

There's an alligator down here!

Did he say "alligator"?

Okay, okay! Finding a way out now!

There's an exit!

It's a few yards behind you,

but you'll have to dig your way out.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Jackson, move!

I'm trying!

We've got a location.

They're underground.

Trying to follow the moles to us.

What should we do?

Get rid of 'em.

Chloe?

I don't see it.

- Where is it?
- There's an access tunnel

right in front of you.

I think I got a shot!

Are you crazy?!

Jackson, dig faster!

I'm going as fast as I can!

I got it!

Go, go, go!

Got it!

We got it!

Come on. I got you.

I got you.

You okay?

Come here.

Mitch! Mitch!

What's happening?

The tunnel
collapsed. Mitch is inside.

Mitch! Mitch!

- Come on.
- Mitch!

Come on. Come on!

Mitch!

Mitch!

- Mitch!
- Come on.

We got you! Come on.

- Come on.
- I've got you!

There you go!

There you go, there
you go, there you go.

There you go.

We got him!

What happened to that alligator?

I don't know.

You want to go back in and look for him?

Chloe, get us out of here.

Okay. Stand by.

Davies knows where they are.

That's what I'm counting on.

Where are you, Davies?

Got him.

Cut the connection, Abe.

Jackson, there's an
exit ten meters behind you.

What was that about?

It was about getting Davies' location.

And I did.

Plan B.

B for "bait."

What?

Where were they coming from?

Reiden Global.

Where's my money?

We burned it.

So, we are officially
looking at foul play.

What do you mean?

Mass mole execution.

How?

Somebody turned those
tunnels into a gas chamber.

Well, it had to have been Davies.

Davies must have known

that the moles were following the sloth

and took them out before they
could create another sinkhole.

I did some analysis on the gas.

Not like anything I've ever seen before.

And with airborne distribution?

Perfect way to cull the animals.

And, since we're still standing,

it doesn't seem to
have any affect on humans.

Or half-humans, apparently.

Maybe.

I mean, the gas is fast-acting, but...

might have just
been really lucky timing.

Don't do that. Hmm?

I thought about it, and, uh,

I gotta tell Abe about my condition.

All right? He has the right to know.

What, are you crazy?

Even for a half-man,

that is a full bad idea.

Nothing against your bosom buddy,

but his bosom buddy?

Not too fond of mutants.

Abe is like a brother to me.

Dariela was friends with Kovacs, right?

She still shot him in the head.

That's true.

That's a fair point.

Anyway, that's a five-week-from-now
problem.

Davies has a gas

that he can use to kill with prejudice.

Clearly, he's not afraid to use it.

And we are trying to
restore things to factory settings,

and this sicko just
wants to buy a new phone.

About 20 quintillion new phones.

And the best chance we have to stop him

is inside the walls of Reiden Global.

It wasn't easy, but we're in.

I hacked into the security feed.

Good work, guys.

When General Davies
deployed men to the tunnels,

this is where they came from,

so it's a good bet he's
keeping the sloth here.

If I were a four-star psychopath,

where would I hide a sloth?

Maybe...

There.

But how did he open the door?

No retinal scan or fingerprint.

Some kind of voice recognition?

It was his heart-print.

His what?

It recognizes his heartbeat.

Every person's is unique.

So to get through this door,

we're going to need this man's heart?

Piece of cake.

Looks like he's going out.

We should go out with him.

Or maybe he's staying in.

Only Reiden would throw a party

during the end of the world.

That's Senator Rowan.

And Jonas Hofler.

They're IADG leaders.

I-what?

International Animal Defense Group.

Everyone you'd need to pass
a vote on the Noah Objective

is in that room.

The fact that they are all here...

Means they're ready to vote.

Davies must be moving up the timeline.

There he is.

Watch your back, science man.

We need to get into that party.

Get the heart-print.

- That party?
- Yes. We need to get the heart-print

while he's busy talking to the VIPs.

We're gonna crash the party of the guy

who just sent men to kill us?

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Mitch is in.

Are we clear to enter?

Not yet. Stand by.

Two minutes.

Look, I know you're still
upset about me telling Mitch,

and... I had to.

It was the right thing to do.

He can help. I'm not upset.

You've barely spoken to me.

I was ready to quit, back in D.C.,

but I came back because of you.

My only thought was
to fix you, save you.

Yeah, that's... not your job

or your responsibility.

It wasn't your responsibility

to save me in Africa.

Actually, it was.

I was a safari guide.

I was so scared.

And then you appeared.

And you were still scared.

A little less.

I knew that everything was
going to be all right.

That's your superpower, Jackson.

You have a way of making people feel

that everything's gonna be all right.

No matter how dreadful things look.

I know that my
responsibility is to our mission,

but I need to find a balance

between being the leader of this team

and being in love with you.

We're good to go.

Jackson, Chloe, do you copy?

Y... uh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we copy.

Excuse me.

Ringo's approaching the stage.

Target's at your ten.

Hey...

Hi!

So glad that you could make it.

- Yeah.
- Uh... me, too.

He doesn't know who we are.

Ken Adams.

And Emma Simone. Emma Simone.

We work with General Davies.

Yeah. He's had so many wonderful things

to say about you.

He's very impressed by your work.

And so am I.

Well, keep it up.

- Everyone's proud of you.
- Yeah, good work.

Gentlemen, the
package has been delivered.

Post up by the bathroom.

He should be heading your way

with the stomachache of a lifetime.

Are you sure this is going to work?

Just slipping him a mickey.

What do you know about
"slipping a mickey"?

Oh, I can slip a mickey, okay?

I'm a doctor, for God's sake.

So they teach you mickey-slipping

in doctor school?

Just... I...

I know that trusting my judgment

isn't one of your strong suits,

but maybe just this
once, give it a shot, huh?

Dr. Heart-Print

will be coming our way any second now.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm happy to welcome you here

on this special night.

Now, I know many of you

are still clinging to the hope

that the "animal problem" will somehow

rectify itself.

I, unfortunately, am here

to share with you that
things have gotten a lot worse.

Ladies and gentlemen, we
must stop these animals.

We finally have the means to do so.

Allow me to introduce TX-14.

A two-part gas.

A fast-acting elimination agent

and a neutralizer.

Which, when they combine,

forms a compound

that only targets the mutation.

Human beings will be safe,

but every animal with
the mutation will be...

destroyed.

Tomorrow before the vote,

we will give you a demonstration
of the efficiency and the safety

of this gas.

But tonight enjoy yourselves.

Get to know one another.

For you will be sharing a
page in the history books

as the assembly

that saved the world.

Thank you.

If the gas targets the
mutation, you would be killed.

I won't be alone.

The 2.2 million
people, they're like you.

Like Kovacs.

How is that even possible?

Guys, we have a problem.

You were supposed
to give him a case of the runs,

not a heart attack.

A mild heart
attack, he'll be fine.

"Slipping him a mickey."

You said you'd done this before.

I have.

I mean, it was on a llama, but...

A llama?

I do not want to hear
the rest of that story.

We need a new plan.

We cannot leave without that sloth.

Give me the Mic and meet me downstairs.

What are you going to do?

Get you the heart-print.

General Davies, can I
steal you for a second?

Of course, Miss, uh...

Diaz.

- From Senator Rowan's office.
- Ah.

What can I do for you, Miss Diaz?

The senator wanted to let you know

that you have her full support.

She wanted to talk to you herself,

but she can't
because she's still working

on some of her collegues,

winning them over.

She almost had it.

Whatever you need
from her, consider it done.

Please thank the senator,
that's very kind of her.

But I just have one question, Ms. Diaz.

Where are your friends?

I saw you on the security footage

from that Accelerator fiasco.

That was a close call
you had, wasn't it,

Lieutenant Marzan?

You're coming with me.

Good job, General.

Actually, General, you're
coming with me.

What are you doing?

Noting all the exits.

Thanks to Mickey here,

we're preparing to
make a quick departure.

What I said was, "It should work."

That's not how I remember it.

Oh, look,

the gang's all here.

Do you have any idea how
many soldiers I have

in this building?

My guess is about 30.

And every one of them is
focused on the room with 200 VIPs.

Where's the sloth?

You took a four-star general hostage

for a sloth?

Well, this is a first,

and it's gonna land you in deep...

Where's the sloth?

Down there to the left, tough guy.

Mitch, come with me.

Abe, stay on Davies.

Face the wall.

Come with me.

Where we going?

He gave up the sloth too quickly.

He was fine with them going left.

So there must be something
this way he didn't want us to find.

These have to be the
animals for the demonstration.

Let's find this sloth, huh?

Air lock doors.

Looks like your theory was right.

The gas must be down here.

Jaime.

She's in Caraquet.

Keep up!

Bingo.

The gas.

The valves are closed. That's good.

And this one's the neutralizer.

So that's the poison.

There will be nothing to vote on

if they can't do the demonstration.

That's not good.

Go, go, go!

Jaime?

Get up.

Chloe?

Oh, you found me.

You're not gonna die today.

You need to get up.

No, I can't.

Yes, you can.

You have to get up.

Come on.

You can do it.

That's it.

Keep moving.

Chloe...

Jaime!

Logan, I'm here.

Hey.

I got it.

Hey, buddy.

Hope this thing is soundproof.

Yeah, let's not find out.

Hey, what's going on?

Davies set off the alarm.

I disabled the doors,
but there'll be others.

We have to go.

- Okay, lift.
- This.

- Target!
- Take cover!

I got this.

It's clear!

Let's go.

It's been hit. Run.

This could kill everybody.

Chloe!

Chloe!

Chloe!

Chloe!

No.

Chloe!

No.

Jamie,

she's in Caraquet.

I don't understand you.

Jaime...

she's in Caraquet.

- I don't understand.
- She's in Caraquet.

- She's in Caraquet.
- I don't understand.

- She's in Ca...
- I'm sorry.

- I don't understand!
- Jaime.

I don't understand.

I'm sorry, Chloe!

Chloe!

Damn it!

Chloe!

Chloe!

Chloe!

Oh, come on.

Come on!

No!
