Zoo (2015–2017): Season 3, Episode 7 - Wham, Bam, Thank You Sam - full transcript

As the team launches a rescue mission for Issac, Jaime and Mitch hunt for a large snake creature. Abigail's master plan comes to light.

JAMIE: Ten years ago, the
animal population mutated,

endangering human life on the planet.

Our team managed to cure the animals,

but at a terrible cost.

In an attempt to return
the planet to the animals,

a secretive group called
the Shepherds released a gas

that sterilized all of humanity.

And then, lab-made
creatures called "hybrids"

devastated the West Coast,

so a massive barrier was constructed

to protect the rest of North America,



but new breeds have
started to appear,

so we reassembled our team.

We battle on many fronts,

searching for a cure to sterility

while racing to stop the
hybridsand the rogue Shepherd

who created them to end the human race.

The fight for mankind's
survival has just begun.

Previously on Zoo...

At day's end, you'll
have Clements and Lewis.

Clem's baby could solve
the sterility problem?

Are you proud of yourself?

I'm so sorry.

You kidnapped...

How does that even
compute as right to you?



It's not.

ABRAHAM: Isaac is not safe.

We have to go after Isaac.

After you had the affair,

all I saw was betrayal.

Now Isaac is gone, I don't know

how to look at you anymore.

Jackson has a lead on someone
who might be Abigail's partner.

Somebody named Mr. Duncan.

What's this?

It's a surveillance photo of Mr. Duncan.

He's public enemy number one,
but nobody knows where he is

or even what he looks like.

If I find him, I'm
going to take him down.

_



Let's begin.

Tell me what you see.

A pony?

And now what do you see?

A car.

How about you? What do you see?

A house?

This isn't working. Run it again.

There's a service road here,
just large enough for a landing.

From there, we head to this building.

It's an old pharma research facility.

It's the only place large enough

to stash that many kids within 20 miles

of the radiation spike we detected.

And we don't know what
kind of hostiles to expect.

Abigail herself could be there.

So we go in the southwest.

More cover,

- no choke points.
- JAMIE: I got access

to thermal imaging
from the IADG satellite.

This is from an hour ago.

ABRAHAM: That's where Isaac is.

It has to be.

Tell me what you see.

A fire truck?

A crayon?

A sandwich?

You need to try harder.

The Melvatox-B is allowing
their brains to operate

on the same frequency as the hybrids,

but scaring them will flood their brains

with corticotrophin.

Which could dilute the
Melvatox-B, you're right.

Let's try this again.

CLEMENTINE: Dad?

We're gearing up.

"We"?

Yeah. I can help.

Let's... set aside the
fact that Abe thinks

the baby you're carrying
could jumpstart the human race.

Dariela's gonna be leading this mission

and... I don't trust her judgment.

Not around you.

She's only out to save her son.

I don't blame her.

I do.

You're not going.

Focus.

What do you see now?

Is it a white bunny with
one red eye and one blue eye?

The zero frequency.

Gives us bi-directional communication

between the hybrids and our beacons.

It worked.

ABIGAIL: For hundreds of years,

animals have served as
guinea pigs to benefit humans.

Today we use humans
to benefit my hybrids.

- [Alarm]
- AUTOMATED VOICE: Warning.

Security breach, southwest perimeter.

My brother. So smart.

Take what you can, wipe everything else.

Round up the razorbacks and meet me

at the fallback position.

What do you want to
do with the children?

- We don't need them anymore.
- Where are you going?

Abigail!

[Computer Trilling]

[Door Unlatches]

Anything?

Empty.

- Same.
- This isn't possible.

There was heat-signature
confirmation on our descent.

How can there be no one here?

Let's keep looking.

[Sighs]

They knew that we were coming.

Well, that looks oddly familiar.

JAMIE: It's a stasis tank.

It's just like the one you were in.

What is it doing here?

Wasn't Abigail dressed
as a cop in New York?

Logan said he took a shot at her.

Well, it looks like he hit her.

Guys, we have confirmation

that Abigail has been on-site.

[Grunts]

Abigail.

And you must be Mitch
Morgan's daughter, Clementine.

Now that we got that out of the way...

[Grunts]

[Groans]

[Grunts]

Abendegos. Where is he?

Locked in the vehicle bay.

[Groans]

[Grunts]

Mom? Dad?

Isaac.
- Oh, my God.

- ABRAHAM: Isaac?
- DARIELA: Isaac?

- Isaac?
- I-I got him!

Where is everybody else?

Where are the adults?

The lady said...

"The game's over."

[Soft Thuds]

[Low Grunting, Snorting]

REPORTER: We're live
in upstate New York,

at the dramatic recovery
of the missing children

from the Reiden medical trials.

With me is Detective
Logan Hale of the NYPD,

who was instrumental in
finding this location.

Detective, what happens next?

Well, as you can see behind me,

we have multiple agencies
working together to confirm

the identities of each child
and to assess their health.

Then we'll begin the process

of reuniting them with their families.

Now, we ask that all the families

please refrain from coming here.

We understand that you're
desperate to see your children,

but it will only slow things down.

WOMAN: No, we're gonna
let the FBI handle that.

One second.

Detective,

we found a series of tunnels
underneath the facility.

That's how Abigail Westbrook
and her people got out.

I want BOLOs out to all
the local law enforcement,

and the border patrol, in case
she tries to run to Canada.

AGENT: Okay.

You should still get Isaac
checked out by a doctor,

but I'm not seeing any problems.

Your boy seems fine.

We missed you so much, Isaac.

I told everybody you
were going to rescue us.

- [Laughs]
- Isaac,

what was it like in there?

We don't have to
talk about that right now.

What matters is that we got you back.

Hey.

Isaac's been cleared,
we're getting out of here.

What are you doing?

Well, Logan had to jump
through a bunch of hoops

to get the Feds to okay it, but...

we're taking this thing with us.

Well, that's not the worst idea.

- You know, I'd...
- I know that

you lost ten years of your life
to one of these things, Mitch,

and you probably hate it.

But if we can get under the hood,

there is no telling what
we can learn about Abigail.

I'm more concerned about

how you think you're going
to get it back to the plane.

Let's get Logan to do it.

I don't care if the closest
neighbor is a mile away,

I want to talk to them.

- Okay.
- Detective Hale,

can I interest you in a bear claw?

Excuse me?

My wife won't allow me to touch sweets,

but, uh, I have a 100-mile rule.

Whenever I'm more than
100 miles from home,

I can eat whatever I want.

My weakness is Boston cream.

Great, I'm happy that I know that now.

What do you want?

Never seen an IADG clearance

quite that high
before... Agent Garrison.

What do you want?

I've had my eye on you

for quite some time, Detective.

Catching the Serenity
Killer as a patrolman,

infiltrating a Shepherd sleeper cell...

Right, so... so you can read my CV. And?

And this.

What am I looking at?

Four hikers were found dead

in the Black Forest, in Germany.

The coroner ruled they
died after inhaling

an unidentified toxin.

I'm in the NYPD.

That's a little outside
of my jurisdiction.

The autopsy also showed

trace amounts of hybrid
DNA on the bodies.

There are no hybrids in Germany

or anyplace else outside
of North or South America.

It's a mystery.

One we'd like you to help us solve.

I'm a New York cop. Why me?

You have a history with the hybrids.

Ten years ago, you were on an island

facing down razorbacks

before the rest of the world

- knew they existed.
- Really?

I think you got some bad intel there.

Detective, please,

I'm well aware of your former life.

Fine. Still not interested.

Tarapoto, Peru.

That's where your teammates will find

the next hybrid they're looking for.

And how the hell did
you know about that?

Are you gonna stand
there asking questions,

or are you gonna accept my offer

and start getting some answers?

- Got something for you.
- What is it?

Three refugee camps near Tarapoto, Peru,

were attacked last week.

Eyewitness accounts
say that the creature is

some kind of a ghost.

That disc contains reports
that argue that this "ghost"

is actually a new hybrid.

Well, that's convenient.

Abe said we needed spinal
fluid from new hybrids.

Where'd you get it?

I made some new friends.

So this is the end of the line for me.

I've been given an opportunity,

and I won't be getting back
on the plane with you guys.

What? You're leaving the team now?

To do what?

It's classified.

- Seriously?
- Seriously.

Is this about Mitch?

I won't lie.

I mean, if I thought that there was...

a future for you and me, I might stay.

But given the state of things,

I just think that this
makes the most sense for me.

But if you need anything,

you know how to reach me.

You're not joining a cult, are you?

[Laughs]

I'll see you around, okay?

CLEMENTINE: You found the kids?

Yeah, so that's one in
the win column, finally.

I need to go see if
that image of Mr. Duncan

is finished processing.

Yeah, I forgot to tell you,

error message came up...

Something about a corrupted file.

I'll go check.

I'll uh, prep the gear for Peru.

We're gonna need live rounds, no tranqs.

- We're going to Peru?
- Yeah.

MITCH: We got intel on
a new hybrid out there.

We need some more spinal fluid.

And with Abigail in the wind,

it's pretty much our only play.

Abigail was here.

- I'm sorry, what?
- What?

What do you mean, Abigail was here?

Are you okay? She hurt you?

No, she didn't touch me, but, um,

she got Abendegos.

- I'm so sorry.
- JACKSON: Okay, Clem,

I need you to walk me through
everything that she said.

Okay?

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

_

JAMIE: The hybrids swept through here

on their way from
Pangaea to North America.

We thought they'd all cleared out.

I gotta say, you've
been taking me to some

very romantic spots

since I've been back.

You catching that charming
smell of death out here?

I've been in worse.

Back when I was an intern at the zoo,

my first job was piling up the dung

in the elephant habitat.

I one time chased a Shepherd in a sewer

under a tandoori restaurant.

- Winner.
- [Rustling]

[Growling]

Tell me you just saw that.

What the hell?

Did that wolf just teleport?

Maybe.

Mitch.

Max?

Jamie?

Sorry about that, son.

FEMALE PUNDIT: Reiden Global claimed
they took the children to cure sterility.

If that was a lie, I
want an explanation.

MALE PUNDIT: At least
yesterday there was hope...

- Hope for a cure...
- [Sighs]

The world is going to hell.

[Wrench Clatters]

Looks like it's going well.

I can't get this thing to work.

Look, Abigail is constantly
one step ahead of us,

and we are running out of time.

If we can just get
this thing to power up,

we might be able to get
to the data it has inside,

find out where she's been,
and maybe where she's going.

I've read studies
about tanks like these,

theories about how they work.

A combination of
experimental trauma treatment

and induced hibernation.

I never thought anyone
had actually built one.

That vent is for airflow.

The power supply system is
just like an electrical car.

That thing is the
electric control actuator.

Now we just need to
find the ignition coil.

Here, try the, uh, circuit tester.

Clem, what's going on?

Okay, so Abigail and I got
into a bit of a catfight.

But I'm fine.

Really.

I'll be the judge of
that. Go take a seat.

This is why I didn't want
to tell you guys earlier.

I don't want you worrying about me.

You have your own stuff
you should be focusing on.

Clem, you're carrying the
baby that could save the world.

There's really nothing more
important than you right now.

JACKSON: I get it.

Ten years ago, I was in your shoes.

Pregnant?

[Chuckles]

Carrying the cure inside my blood.

No pressure, right?

So what did you do when
it all got to be too much?

Alcohol.

That's not really an option for me.

Having people around me that I
could trust didn't hurt, either.

What?

I'm sure it's nothing.

I need to extract some blood.

I'll go get my kit.

What happened?

You don't remember?

Oh...

Max?

Easy, easy. Come on.

Look, the dart that I shot you with

is not meant for humans.

It's ketamine mixed with atropine.

A side effect is temporary amnesia.

You shot me with a PL4 tranq.

- Why?
- It was an accident.

I'm sorry.

Probably lost a half an hour.

You know I just lost a decade, right?

- [Laughs]: Okay.
- You want to take another 30 minutes?

What are you doing here, Max?

What are you doing here?
And how's Clementine?

How's the baby?

How'd you know she was with us?

And how do you know she's pregnant?

She called me.

So you knew I was alive,

and you... you didn't call me.

MAX: Who's supposed to notify who

when somebody's
resurrected from the dead?

As far as I'm concerned,

it should be the one who's resurrected.

Yeah? That's the protocol?

Well, Jesus only took 40
days to let his people know.

All right! Max, what are you doing here?

There are rumors that
there's a 60-foot snake,

high as a man's waist,

- roaming in this area.
- Of course.

And here's the thing...
No one's actually seen it.

Like a ghost snake.

Exactly.

And I have, uh, fine-tuned this device

to detect the heartbeat
of a snake that size

when it's within range.

I've come close.
Haven't actually seen it.

That's what I do. I'm a cryptozoologist.

And this is my white whale.

I think we're looking
for the same thing.

Hey, I miss this. [Chuckles]

Isaac,

why don't you tell us a
little about what happened

inside that place?

We didn't go outside.

They gave us candy. We played games.

- Like sports?
- No.

The teacher called
them "guessing games."

They were more like tests.

We had to say what we saw in our heads.

I never got it right, though.

- Can I go watch TV?
- Sure.

What did they do to him?

The candy, the images in his mind...

We know that Melvatox-B
affects young brains.

In the '60s, the CIA ran all kinds

of cognitive tests with drugs...

LSD, MK Ultra... To study side effects.

Thankfully, there's
no trace of Melvatox-B

in his system anymore.

His tox screen came back clean.

So he's fine.

Are you sure?

As sure as I can be.

All right, I'm gonna adjust the charge,

so get ready.

Did you check the camshaft sensor?

Yeah, twice.

[Electricity Crackles]

What'd you do? This
thing is overloading.

- Okay.
- Pull the fuse.

- All right.
- No. Not the relay,

pull the terminal. The whole thing.

All right. I'm just a
little lost here, I'm sorry.

Maybe this?

[Tank Powering Up]

Hey.

[Chuckles]

We got the data.

"Eight hours of cellular regeneration,

hyper tissue mitosis..."

You did it?

ABRAHAM: These records are exact
details of what was done to her.

I wonder what else this
thing knows about Abigail.

So do I.

But it will have to wait.

I'm here because we need to talk.

I got your blood test results back.

None of this makes any sense.

I see the wolf's paw
prints coming into the area,

but not going.

Okay, you said your mythical
snake is 60 feet long?

- Yeah.
- That'd give it a diameter of, what,

- 40 inches, right?
- Uh, give or take. Why?

Let's say your snake does exist,

but nobody can find it
because nobody can see it.

What, you're saying it's invisible?

Not exactly.

Go with me here.

Uh, snakes are already pretty
good at camouflaging themselves

when they're not moving.

- Right.
- What if this snake is a hybrid

that has just taken

its camouflage talents one step further?

So it can blend into its surroundings,

even when it's in motion.

See that tree?

If the snake came in through there,

ate the wolf, it would look
like it just disappeared.

MAX: Snakes don't just gulp their prey.

They crush them to death
first, and then slowly eat them.

Other animals swallow their prey whole.

Monkfish, certain frogs.

Maybe this snake is just
borrowing one of their tricks.

- [Chuckles]
- JAMIE: Yeah, but if it can do

all that, how are we gonna find it?

Well, if we can't see it,
we, we'll follow its path.

A snake would return
to its lair to digest.

- We got to find its den.
- That way.

[Birds Chirping]

Your baby has HDF, hemolytic disease.

It's a blood disorder.

In short, your blood has
mixed with the baby's,

and your body is creating antibodies

that are attacking the baby's blood.

What do we do?

Your baby's blood
type is extremely rare.

I've already called
numerous blood banks,

but it could take weeks to find a match.

If we had the father's blood,

I could do an exchange transfusion,

literally replace the baby's blood.

His name is Sam Parker.

We met about three
months ago in Colorado,

but I don't know where he's living now.

We have to do everything
we can to locate Sam.

If we get his blood in
time, your baby will survive.

Clem, you got to tell me everything

you know about him, and
I'll start tracking him down.

[Quietly]: Yeah.

So Jamie, I take it

you're back together with my son?

What are you doing?

What? I can't be happy

my son's back in a
meaningful relationship?

Oh, right.

Because as soon as I
confirm that's the case,

that'll be your cue
to make a move on her.

That didn't take long, did it?

I've changed.

MITCH: Yes, I'm sure you have.

Isn't it enough

you just "accidentally"
shot me in the neck?

You got to pretend to care
about my happiness, too?

I swear, I don't know how
you've become so cynical.

I learned it.

From the same guy who taught me
about meaningful relationships.

Look, Jamie is the
person that I trust most.

Okay? Let's just leave it at that.

Hey, guys, I followed the pattern

of broken branches to that building.

I think I found the snake den.

[Detector Clicking]

MITCH: Okay, Max.

Yeah.

I'm gonna need some spinal
fluid from your snake.

How much spinal fluid?

Well, if it's as big as you
say it is, uh, about 250 cc's?

You can't do that, it'll kill it.

What are you doing?

While you guys debate the
bioethics of invisible snakes,

I think I know a way to see it.

[Fire Extinguisher Sprays]

MAX: Anacondas and pythons

can survive for 14 weeks without food.

Our window for catching
this thing is, is closing.

[Detector Clicking Rapidly]

[Clattering]

Think your white whale's here, Max. Hmm.

[Hissing]

[Hissing]

[Roars]

No, don't kill it!

[Gunshot Ricochets]

- What the hell are you doing, Max?
- Jamie?

This reptile can cloak itself.

[Panting]

[Grunts]

Can you imagine the
scientific possibilities?

What the military would pay us

if we could understand how it works?

- There it is.
- Huh?

I knew you had an angle.

[Scuffing, Slithering Sounds]

- We are gonna neutralize this snake...
- Yeah.

We're gonna get its spinal fluid.

If it dies, it dies.

End of story.

[Metal Clatters]

- Jamie.
- Yeah.

Jamie?

Jamie!

- Jamie!
- Jamie!

JACKSON: Not surprising,
but there's over

a hundred Sam Parkers
in 32 different states,

including Alaska.

- Still?
- In every populated one,

up to the barrier. You said
you met him in Colorado?

Yeah, uh, he worked near the barrier.

He was building homes for hybrid victims

at, uh, the Hope Foundation.

According to their
Web site, the Hope org

worked all along the barrier,

even into Canada and Mexico, so...

All right, tell me more about him.

You know, maybe we can
find out where he went.

He liked country music, drank gin,

had a red Ford pickup.

I don't know, that's about it.

You know, Clem,

I've been hurt, too.

[Laughs Softly]

I know how it is.

I, uh, was waiting on intel

about a decommissioned
Shepherd facility.

That's when I met Sam.

He had these kind eyes.

Uh, we started talking
and, I don't know,

just kind of clicked.

He asked me out on a date.

The world being what
it is, and this guy,

he shows up with a bouquet of
wildflowers and asks me out.

Uh, we were together
every day and night.

Till I got confirmation

that the Shepherd facility was
somewhere in Eastern Europe.

I had to go, it was the most
solid lead I'd gotten in months.

And you didn't want him to know.

How would I even explain it?

So I pulled a guy move

and I snuck out in the
middle of the night.

I didn't leave a note.

And I never looked back.

Now I have to tell him that
we're having a child together.

I doubt he'll ever speak to me again.

When he knows what's at stake,

I promise you, he will.

Where's Isaac?

In the bedroom.

Reading the plane's flight manual.

Again.

[Chuckles]

When are we going home?

Look, I was hoping we
could all stay together.

The work we're doing here...

Abe, I know it's important.

But this plane's no place for a kid.

Isaac's important, too.

When we first met,

there was nothing you wouldn't do

for our missions and for
this family on this plane.

Mitch can barely look at me.

We're not that family anymore.

Abe, I think it's best I take Isaac...

and leave.

And I want you to come with us.

I can't do that.

I know.

And that's what's killing me.

You need to be here for the team.

Looking out for Clem and her baby.

But one of us has to look out for Isaac.

Clem, I had Logan check
the national PNC database.

A 1988 red Ford pickup
registered to a Sam Parker

got a speeding ticket
in Pittsburgh yesterday.

You said that's where
his parents live, right?

Yeah.

We'll set a course for there
after your dad and Jamie return.

We don't know if he's still there.

I've had my heart broken.

Home is where I'd go.

- MITCH: Jamie?
- MAX: Jamie?

[Clattering]

[Slithering, Hissing]

[Snake Screeching]

[Snake Continues Screeching]

[Panting]

Still not the worst
place I've ever been.

DARIELA: The cat dragged
this one in again.

Well, it's quite a homecoming.

Nice to see you again, Mrs. Kenyatta.

We got the spinal fluid.

From a herd of what?

You guys look terrible,
and that smell...

You don't want to know.

We got to get this plane up in the air.

- Why?
- What's wrong?

It's Clem.

Of course I checked. Their
blood is incompatible.

How can you be so sure, Abe?

I mean, no offense, pal,
but you've been a doctor

for all of what? 20 minutes?

Please.

What does this mean for the baby?

It won't survive if it
doesn't get a blood transfusion

- in the next three days.
- MAX: Maybe less.

Transfusion from the
father is the only solve.

Well, we're on our way to him now.

We are? Great. Who is this guy?

His name is Sam Parker.

Maybe after we cure sterility,

we can all go to dinner

and you can grill him then.

ABRAHAM: We're flying into
Pittsburgh now to find him.

But there is no guarantee
we'll get to him on time.

JACKSON: Okay.

No one wants to say it, but, uh...

what about the tank?

What? No. Nope.

That's not... that's not an option.

- That's not gonna...
- You-you know what, it-it kept you alive

and in stasis for-for ten years.

ABRAHAM: It may not

cure the baby,

but it will prevent the
HDF from getting worse

while we work on a
more permanent solution.

But our opinion is not
the most important here.

If it'll save my baby, I'll do it.

- Clem.
- Dad.

I know you just want to protect me.

We're the only family we have left,

but these people are our family, too.

They helped me find you and
they brought us back together.

They made sure you were safe

and I know they'll do the
same for me and this baby.

JAMIE: We're all gonna
be here when you wake up.

I'll find Sam. I promise.

This isn't good-bye, okay?

I'm just unplugging for a bit.

You don't have to be all sentimental.

I, uh, think it's time.

We should give them some space.

This should be family only.

MITCH: No.

Stay.

Please.

Clem was right.

Everybody here is family.

You sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

[Tank Whirring]





Hey, Jamie, how are you doing?

Hey. How are you?

Well, I keep telling myself
that, uh, Mitch spent ten years

in one of those tanks and
he came out just fine, so...

Clementine should, too, right?

She'll be okay.

The baby, too.

We have two... well...
well, make that three...

Of the best scientists in
the world on this plane.

[Chuckles]

That's interesting.

What kind of crazy compound
is my son working on now?

What do you mean?

See that sequence

of covalent bonds?

That's Mitch's signature.

[Chuckles]

It's kind of an inside
joke only scientists get.

Mitch?

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

See the bond angle and
the spatial orientation?

[Fading]: That's-that's all him.

First time he used it was his
high school science project.

It's kind of been his thing ever since.

I don't even think it's intentional...

- Excuse me.
- Hmm?

So you're really leaving.

Dariela.

You once told me it never mattered

where in the world we were...

as long as we were together.

I need you here with me.



You're Mr. Duncan.

You lied to me.

This photo wasn't corrupted.

You tried to erase it.

How long have you known about this?

Look, I know it's not your fault.

Abigail put the bio-drive in your head.

But... what else are
you responsible for?

Do you even know?

How could you not tell me?

I'm... I'm gonna tell
the rest of the team.

I have to. You didn't give me a choice.

I'm sorry.

[Gasps]

Mitch.

What have you done?

_

Hey, can I help you?

Hey, I'm-I'm sorry to drop
in on you like this, Sam.

Um, my name is Jackson and, uh,

a friend of mine, Clementine Lewis,

- sent me.
- I'm sorry, I don't...

I know what I'm about to
say will sound impossible,

um, but you were with Clem
three months ago in-in Colorado

and, uh, she's pregnant.

I don't know Clementine.

All right, look,

I-I know that you probably
don't want to hear from her

and I-I get that, but
for what it's worth...

You don't understand.
You have the wrong guy.

I'm in the Air Force

and I was stationed
over at Ramstein, Germany

for the past year.

And if you're telling
me some girl is pregnant,

then, I mean, that's amazing.

But I could promise you
it's not because of me.

Um, Sam Parker is a common name.

Maybe you want to check...

[Gunshot]

Hello, brother.

It wasn't easy hunting you down.

You have something I need.

It's time we finally
got to know each other.
