Original subtitles

Where's Stanley Turner? Who's in charge? My husband's in charge, but we haven't

seen Stanley since yesterday.

Hey, where's my brother?

I heard Stanley's name on the scanner. He said what he did.

It'd be great to be able to tap you as the field agent. What if I freeze up

again? Hey, I got you.

You got me, okay?

Manuel Santiago.

Flaco's telling you to keep on me? You're seeing Flaco's guy? I'm not

him. Sometimes I see that gangbanger at church and we talk about our day, okay?

You're the one who got drunk married in Vegas.

The evidence locker window.

Every day, Kowalski would look out and he would take stock.

The office is a living, breathing thing. That's what Kowalski always said.

He charted its ups and downs, the ebbs and flows.

What he saw from that window, it wasn't always good.

It wasn't always happy. But what mattered, he said, was that folks were

their heads together.

When the office was communicating, the work was getting done right.

Cases were getting solved.

And more often than not, people could make it home in time for dinner.

But every now and then, Kowalski would look out the window and he'd notice that

things were off.

He'd notice that we were in our own worlds.

We were operating next to each other instead of with each other. And that's

he'd take action.

Hey, Smitty.

They close it down first tonight, right?

Kowalski cocktails, he called it.

Yeah. It was his way of team building.

Hey, kid. Yeah.

I'm calling Kowalski cocktails for tonight. Make sure everyone knows.

Oh, can you have Mary Jo do it? Trying to get this thing wrapped up. Right.

Sorry to bother you. I thought you had leadership goals.

What? I thought you wanted to be a team leader someday.

What does being team leader have to do with telling people about drinks?

Hey, Mike. What do you need?

I got a guy coming by to fix my TV. I'm calling Kowalski Cocktails for tonight.

Make sure everyone knows.

Listen up, people. Kowalski Cocktails tonight. Gale, call Wheeler. Let him

Giddy up. Kowalski Cocktails. I will see you there.

See that?

Team leader takes significant information and acts on it.

I didn't realize that wasn't something you're interested in. I didn't say that.

I'll see you at dailies, kid.

Back then, I didn't know if I had what it took to be a team leader.

I figured I'd go to drinks that night and put it out of my head.

But that's not what happened, because that night was about to become one of

craziest 12 -hour runs in NIS history.

After that night, when Kowalski looked out his window, he'd never see me the

same again.

You get it fixed?

What happened was you got a couple of bad solder joints.

Discussing this evening.

See that?

I do outstanding work, but just clear as day.

Joining us is Abe Pruitt's wife, Beth.

And also with us is legal rep for the Pruitt family, Doug Westmont.

Thank you for having us, Jim.

The hell, you seen this?

To begin, I'd like to hear from you, Beth. How do you feel about your

recent arrest?

That's Abe Pruitt's bigamy wife.

They got Doug Westmont as their lawyer now.

Are they the ones that helped that guy blow up the movie dome?

Doug Westmont, he's a big deal.

Abe has been doing so many positive things with our land.

She's an idiot. Who would start a brainwash?

NIS had nothing to connect him to the bombing, but they just want to strut

around with a big fish on their hook. Hey, if I'm strutting, you're going to

know I'm strutting. Hand me that wrench, would you?

Abe should be released immediately.

Released? You're in this blood -sucking... Ah!

Bitch! Are you all right? What happened? What's wrong?

I'm back.

Don't move.

Oh, I'm back.

Don't move. Don't move.

Hey, cake cocktail tonight.

Did you guys hear? Yeah.

Hey, when we're there, we should reenact that scene from Cheers last night. I'll

be Norm.

I didn't see it. What?

You never miss Cheers. You tape it? No. Why not? I forgot. What were you doing?

Nothing. If you weren't doing anything, why weren't you watching Cheers? Oh,

Randolph. Let's go.

I need alcohol before I hear you talk this much.

Roy, shake a leg.

One of us needs to wait for Dalton. He's duty agent tonight. He's not here yet.

Randolph, hold on. Let me put you on speaker.

No, don't put me on speaker.

Sorry, boss. I already did it. You want me to take you off?

Forget it, Randolph. I just threw out my damn bag.

Doing what?

Picking something up off the floor.

What? No. That's like an old person thing to happen.

Maybe you're just sore from lifting.

Tell Kowalski I ain't gonna make it tonight.

No, uh -uh. You know how Kowalski gets when we miss cake cocktails.

Look, I got magic hands passed down from my Aunt Gloria. I'll go to your house,

adjust your back, and then we can go to Daly's from there. No, Vera, I don't

want you coming over here.

She's already gone.

Damn it.

Well, that was abrupt.

You guys should go.

I'll wait for Dalton to meet you over there. No, I'll stay.

I'm the alternate.

No, I got it.

Kowalski was busting my balls earlier.

If he gets in a few drinks before I see him, maybe he'll let up.

Hey there, can we help you?

I need to make a report.

Yeah?

What's going on? How much have you had to drink tonight, man?

I'll get them to the drunk tank.

You guys get out of here. Love you, kid.

Seriously, why didn't you watch Cheers last night? Mary Jo, you take off yet?

Gibbs, did you hear from Dalton? He's supposed to be the duty agent tonight.

We need to call the MPs. Get this guy transferred over to the drunk tank.

Gail, did you forget to give Dalton Baseman his schedule again? I know we

him Baseman, but I do tend to forget his office is down there.

You got an AID on you?

You all are doing makeup.

Daily shutdown for NIS folks only.

No one in front?

Oh, well, Gail has a thing for JJ, so I'm thinking if you're smoky, I will

the deal.

Lord help us.

I got a drunk Marine here.

Captain Brian Polanco.

Yeah, Polanco.

Get over to Daly's. I got him.

I appreciate someone taking initiative around here.

That's very nice, Gibbs. I like that very much.

Okay.

Yeah, we'll see you here soon.

Thanks.

He sprayed me.

What's that?

Someone sprayed me.

Last night, I was walking out to my place and they sprayed me. You saying

were assaulted?

Oh, damn it.

Captain, you okay?

Polanco? Gale, call 911.

What? We need an ambulance.

Hey, what's going on? I don't know. I thought he was drunk.

Something's wrong. Gary, back, back.

Polanco, look at me.

Brian! Brian!

Hey, look at me!

Frank, Vera.

It's open.

Hey, let me in.

I said it's open.

No, no.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be on the floor.

Okay, where's the pain?

Here. Ow.

Here,

get on your stomach.

What? Yeah.

This is the only position I can be in. Well, it only works if you... Come here.

Don't touch me. Come on. Stop. I can't. Mike, don't fight me on this.

Vera!

Better?

Yeah. Yeah.

Huh?

How the hell did you do that?

Magic hand.

Hey, want some water? Thought we'd go get wasted?

Hey, what?

Randall's right.

This only happens to old people.

Next thing you know, I'm retired, eating Hungry Man's in front of the TV all

day, just waiting to shrivel up and die.

Are you kidding me?

I can't wait to get old.

Then I can finally see what's on my mind. That I'm holding back all the

You sit there. I'll get it. By the way, you're not geriatric until your ass gets

flat. Hello.

Michael Franks is resident.

Vera? Is that you?

Yes, Gail. It's me. What do you need? That guy that came in here is

now. What guy?

What you want.

There was a guy that came in after you guys left?

We thought he was drunk, but then he started having a seizure.

The paramedic took one look at him and told his partner not to come in. He said

it wasn't safe.

He told the other paramedic to wait outside.

Paramedic for what?

Can you and Frank just come back here?

This doesn't feel right.

Gibbs is the highest ranking agent here, and according to Kowalski, he has no

leadership goal.

Yeah, where are we?

Okay, stabilizing.

What's going on? How long have you all been with him? Why'd you tell your

partner not to come in? Was anyone else exposed to him?

Smitty, it's Gibbs.

I need to talk to Lala. Gibbs!

You doing what now?

Thank you. Shut off the damn music. This is an emergency. I need to talk to

Lala. Okay, I got you.

Lala!

Lala!

Gibbs needs to talk to you. Something's happened.

Okay, so we're going to quarantine him in the rec room.

Gail, clear the building. Make sure no one else is here.

Hello? Gibbs?

Are you okay?

Yeah, what do you mean, what's going on? That guy that came in, he wasn't drunk.

He has a virus.

He's contagious.

What kind of virus? What? Who's got a virus?

That drunk guy. Wait, are they saying we were exposed?

Lala, listen to me. It's called the Lenka virus.

The Lenka virus?

The paramedics said that the last case was in 1924, but then last month,

else got it. Lenka, I read about it in the paper a couple of weeks ago. Some

woman was exposed at a lab in Mexico.

What happened to her? They quarantined her.

A week later, she died.

Are any of you guys showing symptoms?

Flirt, speech, seizure, trouble breathing, coughing?

No. What's he saying? You all need to stay there.

No one can leave until we know more.

They're trying to stop it from spreading.

We're all on lockdown until further notice.

Are you telling me the kids run a point on this thing and we're all queued up to

die?

I told you ten times on the radio, we shouldn't even be here. I told you, you

can't be here. I heard what you said, Broby.

But I ain't leaving you with this alone.

Boss. Boss, you know I'm right.

Look, Wheeler's on his way to talk to some top disease doctor. He said you

should meet him over at Blue Ridge Medical Center.

Who else you got in there?

Herm, Gail, Nadia, and the paramedic.

Wheeler told us not to tell anyone what's going on until we figure out

It makes sense. Word gets out, the public's going to panic. We aren't even

allowed to call our families.

You didn't say you dare in there.

Let him out, bro. He's trying to get to me.

No, he needs to stay put.

He was exposed too. We don't know if this thing can infect animals.

Boss, go meet with the doctor.

That's what we need you to do.

Y 'all three take care of each other.

He keeps running from me. I'm trying to keep him away from Polanco, but he

doesn't want to listen.

I think he's wanting to stay on guard because he knows the guy's dying.

I did a second sweep of the building to make sure no one else was here. I also

called Lala and read her Polanco service record.

I didn't think we'd get that till morning.

I busted some heads via phone and got a fax over.

Okay, Gail.

Good work.

Well. Here's to our lives being in the hands of the JV squad.

Feeling no pain when we start croaking later tonight.

Hey, yo, JJ, speaking of the JV squad, I hear Gale wants in your pants.

Carl, shut your mouth.

I got some food on in the kitchen.

Y 'all need to stay hydrated.

Hey, I'm just the bartender. I got nothing to do with the N .I .F.

And Cliff Wheeler's going to tell me I can't call my friends to get one of them

to take my cat.

Justice for Smitty. Yeah, justice for Smitty.

Justice for me and Mr. Whiskers. The last people I want to die with.

Okay, I wrote down everything Gail told us.

Lala, I heard you on the phone with Gail.

Did she say what happened with Dalton Basement?

Basement? She didn't mention him. Did she tell him not to show up for night

duty? I assume so. She was actually pretty with it on the phone. My Gail?

gail price why you think she got this stuff on i want you to close your eyes

imagine gail is head secretary over there you tell me if you think stuff is

getting messed up i have similar concerns about herm if this virus is

take us all out we can't let it take the chain of custody too And Herm needs to

make sure that all evidence is logged in step.

Tell you what, let's write a list of instructions for Gail and Herm. Then we

relay it all on one phone call to keep the line open. Great.

Frank Sinvera should have an update for us soon.

Hey, who's that newsman over here? That happy guy we're meeting, what's his

name? He can be an epidemiologist. Her name is Dr.

Hardy.

And hey, you know, thinking on the way over here, I'm really impressed with how

Roy is handling this whole thing.

Yeah, well...

I trained him.

No, I mean it.

Like the way he was holding that door shut on you?

I haven't seen someone take charge in a way that robust in... Never?

Certainly not in our office.

And we can confirm that the latest case of Lenka occurred on Camp Pendleton. The

details are still pouring in. Hey, none of that's confirmed. Where are you

getting that?

Are you a representative for Pendleton? What can you tell us about the outbreak?

Hey,

get out of my face!

Can you confirm that the outbreak is contained?

Hey, hey, hey! You are blocking the entrance to a damn hospital. Let's go.

Use your brain.

Move! Get out of the way! I can't let you in the building.

Thank you. Please, just stay back.

Form a line and grab a mask. We can't help you unless you get checked in. NIS,

the hell's going on here? They heard about the case of Lenka on the news.

think they have symptoms.

Are you from the government? What are the symptoms?

I'm feeling dizzy, but there are people coughing inside here. Ma 'am, I'm sure

that the doctors will see all of you as soon as they can. They're not going to

let us leave if we have it right.

My name is Elliot Thorpe. Elliot Thorpe.

I need you to get a message to my wife. I need you to tell her that I love her.

Agent Frank? Yeah.

Dr. Harding, follow me.

You really think we can trust the stuff you got from Gail?

I'm feeling lucky.

Let's put it up.

Victim, Captain Brian Polanco, who sprayed with something in his face on

home last night, talent likely ran off. Term confirmed Polanco called in sick to

work this morning.

Paramedic Wesley thinks this spray must have been an aerosolized version of the

virus. Hopefully.

Blanco went straight from his place to NIS and didn't infect anyone else along

the way.

Okay, what are the victim's stats?

Blanco is single, assigned to supply battalion, lives alone on base in the

bachelor officer quarters.

What the heck is that? He said his parents are in Boise, right? That's

Living in Idaho.

Phone number's on the back.

Gail tried them a bunch of times. No answer.

You infect one person on Pendleton, it's a pretty good way to take down the

entire base.

Listen, what were you doing last night instead of watching Cheers?

Why do you even care about that right now? Because... I can't call Junie.

I may never be able to hold Junie again.

And the fact that you're shutting me out is making me question the depth of our

friendship, which is like...

Super troubling at a time like this when I need you the most.

Oh, my God. You are just that nosy. Sorry, I can't help it. Come on.

Let's go.

Let's nail this bastard before we die.

Captain Polanco's symptoms are in line with the Lenka virus, but I can't make a

definitive determination that this is Lenka without a sample.

What's the treatment for Lenka? My team is working on some experimental avenues,

but there is no treatment as of yet, which is troubling given that the virus

a 95 % mortality rate.

But just because someone might have been exposed, that 95 % doesn't apply to

everyone. Right.

Oh, it's highly unlikely that you were exposed to anything other than the

cold back there in the lobby.

People hear about a case and they become paranoid that they have symptoms. The

same thing happened in Mexico.

She ain't talking about us. We got co -workers, Blanco, Brito.

Oh.

Yes, well, that is a horse of a different color.

This could be an act of bioterrorism. We need to take steps to secure the base.

Listen. Friend, we don't know much about Lenka, but we estimate an R -naught of

19 with an incubation period of 2 to 12 hours.

That means that one person has the potential to infect 19 others and

show up quick.

If this is the start of an outbreak, it's going to go far beyond Pendleton.

How the hell do we spin this? How the hell did the press get a hold of it in

first place?

Wheeler, you were given strict orders not to let your people talk to anyone

outside. Sir, I gave my people instructions. I guarantee they followed

the letter.

It's possible the victim tipped someone off before he came to NIS. You need to

plug your leak, Cliff.

I don't have a leak, Connie. All right, enough.

I got a team at NIS, a team at Dailies.

Someone here best tell me what to do to get them home.

The first step is to confirm that this is indeed Lenka.

I can lead a team in to extract a sample from Polanco, but I need some time to

properly mitigate the risk.

How much time do we have?

Polanco was infected last night. He had a clean bill of health.

Lenka would take approximately one week from the time of infection to kill a

healthy 30 -year -old male.

Who would have access to a dang virus?

Did Polanco's parents give us anything?

I don't can get a hold of them.

Polanco's the same.

His breathing is more labored.

Your dog's still out there trying to watch over him. I told him he's got to

up here to be safe.

I mean, we were all exposed anyway, right? It doesn't really matter if we

masks or how far we stay away now.

Gibbs feels better with us up here.

Where is he?

Press was reporting what happened, so we got to go ahead to call our families.

We're taking turns.

Oh, Mary Jo and Kowalski called.

Kowalski wants you to secure the chain of custody for all the evidence.

I did that already. What's he think?

I'm incompetent? I know. Mary Jo was acting like I'm incompetent, too.

I turned on the TV.

Diane. It's on every channel. Oh, my god.

Are you feeling sick? Diane, I'm fine.

It's going to be fine.

It's not fine.

It's not fine.

Leroy.

People are depending on me.

Everyone's depending on me.

Then they're in good hands.

I gotta go.

Love you.

What's going on, Gary?

Gary!

Stay here.

Stay. Stay, stay.

What's happening?

Cardiac arrest.

Checking for pulse.

You got one?

Oh, come on.

No, come on, come on.

Come on, Brian.

Come on, buddy.

Wake up!

Gibbs.

Gibbs, he's gone.

He's gone.

You try it, Gibbs.

You try it.

Man, you okay?

Wesley?

I can't breathe.

Oh, hell. He must have caught it.

It's okay.

Calm down.

Gibbs, don't touch him. He has the virus.

Yes!

Okay, listen.

We got news. It's not great.

But just remember, we're putting together a team.

And we... Polanco's dead. Paramedic Wesley's showing symptoms.

Y 'all going loony over there?

They're drunk.

CJ,

Carl, and Smitty are being idiots.

That don't sound like Smitty.

They think they're going to die, Mike. Now's not the time to judge.

It's Gibbs.

Is anyone else showing symptoms?

Just paramedics. Listen, Dr. Harding thought Blanco would have a week before

virus killed him. Could be this isn't Lenka at all. Or it could be a worse

strain. Look, we're going to get answers.

The disease doc's coming over.

Her and Tango are going to call Gibbs and Herm. Tell them how to take an

example. What? I thought Dr. Harding was leading a team in to do it. That's when

we thought it was Lenka.

If it's something else, we don't know what could be released when they cut

the lung.

Since Gibbs and Herm have already been exposed. But if it's that dangerous,

shouldn't someone with medical... What about the paramedics?

He ain't in no shape. He quarantined himself in the kitchen.

Mike, Dr. Hardy wants forensics to sign off on these orders once they get the

sample. Okay, listen, Lala.

I want you staying positive.

You hear me?

I mean, from what I saw from Gibbs today.

Solid cerical horn is developing on that one.

I mean, nothing on par with yours.

But, uh, Bill, keep me in the loop, okay?

You got it.

Justice for Smee!

Hey,

Randy moved your board back there. He said he couldn't concentrate with the

Three Stooges.

Wait, wait.

Oh, holy moly, that's a lot. Wait, um, so the paramedic is too thick to take

sample? Give me a quarter. I need a cold kid.

I'm not using the bar phone. I need privacy.

He's in charge over there. He's probably freaking out. I gotta give him an

inspirational talk. Yeah, I don't have a quarter. Listen, I finally got a hold

of Polanco's mom.

I don't have a quarter.

Polanco's mom said he had no enemies. The only thing I got from her is that he

was taking a cooking class.

Anyone got a freaking quarter?

No!

Yeah, Gibbs.

Gibbs, it's all a... I just kicked the hell out of the cigarette machine until

the corridor came out so I could call you.

AJ28, Dark Days, do you copy?

What? Sorry, it's the paramedics radio. Hang on.

Okay. You got an update?

What? Uh, no. I, uh, I just... I heard about how you got a ticket sample from

Polanco Thong.

Yeah. I was gonna give you an inspirational speech.

But I guess that's not really my thing.

Lucky I'm not the one in charge over there, huh?

You think I should give an inspirational speech?

I don't know.

Probably.

Listen.

I... I

should go.

Randy's been super needy. Okay.

Lala. Gibbs!

Gary's sick! He's got the virus!

I walked in. He was laying here.

His breathing is shallow. We gotta do mouth -to -mouth.

What the heck? He smells like onions. Onions? No, he... Oh, no.

No. What? No.

No. What?

Hell no. Come on, what happened? He didn't catch the virus. He ate the dang

onion. What's going on? We heard yelling. Go get me some hydrogen

What? Now. We need Gary to drink it to make him throw up.

Wesley's kid is on my desk. Go. Come on. Hurry up. What are you doing with a

crate of onions in here? Evidence. Some dude was using them to smuggle coke. He

ate cocaine, too. No, dude. We took the drugs out.

Hydrogen onions?

Poisonous to dogs?

Yeah, and they're going to kill him if we can't get him to puke them out.

Where's the hydrogen peroxide? There wasn't any in Wesley's kid.

Check the first aid kit.

Kitchen under the sink.

Bathrooms. Mary Jo's desk. Go.

You're okay, bud. You're gonna be okay.

There was nothing at MJ's desk. This was in the kitchen, but there's no label on

it. You guys okay?

Sorry about this, buddy.

Come on, open up.

I'm sorry, Pat.

Never knew it could come out of both ends with that kind of velocity.

My dog ate four onions once when I was a kid. So you knew what to do?

You're a hero, man.

You saved his life.

I'll check on Wesley.

And I'll give an inspirational speech.

Then you and me will get that long jab.

Is that for Carl or JJ?

Carl. No, no.

Carl's like a dog. He can't do onions.

I'm telling you, if folks aren't fed right, things go wrong.

I can guarantee Gail's not keeping them fed and hydrated over there.

Mary Jo, we did what we could, and we raised them right.

Now all we can do is hope they fly.

Nadia, pass around some granola bars, please.

Folks aren't fed right, things go wrong.

Wesley's still in the kitchen.

He doesn't look good.

So you ready to get the sample then?

You got everything we need in here?

TBRN is two minutes out. I'll have them wait outside the main doors for the

sample. Hand off Nadia. We'll give them a quick a throat to forensic.

Look.

I know we're all wishing we were someplace else.

But we're not.

We're here.

And we're all we got.

Whatever it takes to get this sample, whatever it tells us, whatever happens

the end, we're going to know we did everything we could for each other.

That means something.

Let's light it up, boss.

Gail.

Hold our calls.

Damn it. What the hell is that? What do you want me to do? You want me to stop?

Pop something in there and we'll get sprayed with poison, dude. We don't feel

right about that. If you made the incision in the fourth intercostal

don't know what that means.

Okay, take a breath.

It's a space between the fourth and fifth ribs.

We're confident you have that part right.

Are you pulling open enough muscle tissue to see the outside of the lung?

I don't know, lady. All I see is bloody lasagna.

Gibbs, listen to me. Once you cut into the lung, we need you to be quick.

We don't want you overexposed to whatever gases are expelled.

Get the sample and get out of there. Doc, I don't know what the hell I'm

at here. We've got to breathe.

Hey,

Herm. What?

Do you remember when I took you out on the Harley last week and there was this

guy on a Yamaha in front of us at the light?

And you were like, whoa, that guy should be wearing a helmet.

And I said he should at least be wearing a hat because his head was all sweaty

and he was bald and he was getting sunburned. Uh, yeah?

The lung looks just like that guy's bald head.

Same shade of pink and shiny and smooth.

And unattractive.

Okay, I think I see it.

It's that.

That thing?

Yeah, looks like a white dude with some burnt head down.

Hold your breath.

I'm going on three.

One. Oh, Lord, please do not squirt poison in my face. Two.

Please don't let us die. Please don't let us die. Please don't let us die.

Three.

Well, props to Gibbs and Herm.

Did a masterful job with this extraction.

Okay.

Sample's officially secured.

Can we take these suits off now?

The sample was exposed to the air earlier when we put it in the Aletha.

decontaminate after we get the results.

Can we take the suits off or not, Woodrow?

No!

How much longer does this thing take to cook? We've been waiting forever.

Is the suit hurting your back?

Vera called ahead, told us to be sensitive to your aging body.

I'm sorry. I gotta say, you know, what is with all the self -absorption

happening here, Michael? You know, we all know you're getting older.

Okay, we can see your hairline. There are people dying over here, pal.

You're the ones who brought this up.

Who?

No. No, Phil, let me. I did all the legwork.

Okay, no. Okay, we talked about this. I get first dibs on all high -level test

results.

Wow. Don't expect me to share my corn nuts with you later. This is not a

Sample's negative for Lenka.

So this ain't got nothing to do with what happened in Mexico.

Could be a match to one of these other standard curves.

I got it. This is it.

The sample tested positive for one of the world's most lethal substances.

Botulism toxin.

Damn. A crazy fact.

You know, some nutso started injecting small amounts of this stuff into their

face to stop wrinkles.

Oh, Frank, maybe that can make you feel at fault.

He's kidding, okay? There is no way that injecting this deadly toxin into your

face is going to catch on with the message.

Who's got access to this?

Chemical labs, cosmetics companies.

Not so easy to aerosolize. No kidding.

Whoever did this had to have intimate knowledge of the toxin. And if they have

the capability to make more, I mean, this could definitely start a humongous

bioterrorism attack.

Oh, yeah.

This could take down everything.

I mean, one bit of good news, though.

Guys, we're okay.

It's not contagious.

What? It's not Lenka. It's something else. What is it? Something that freezes

wrinkles. The lockdown is lifted. Call Daly's. Let them know.

Wesley!

It's not Lenka!

Wesley!

Wesley?

Wesley! Did you hear me? The test came back. It's not contagious.

It's wrong. I can't breathe.

You couldn't have caught anything from Polanco. It must be something else.

I'm calling someone to come check you out.

Link, it's going to spread. You can't lift the lockdown.

We're already doing it. You can't.

We have to stay in here. It's going to spread.

Hey! We're all going to die!

We're all going to die!

Are you okay?

Yeah. Are you?

I mean, Moses, it's good to be back.

Hey, did y 'all call your family? Junie was so frickin' relieved.

Herm, can you let Grandma know we're good? Heck yeah, dude. Hello, Diane.

Yeah. Awesome.

Everybody, get in here.

Let's go. We gotta keep moving. Whoever infected Polanco could be planning

another attack.

What do we have?

Oh, damn it. We moved the board upstairs.

Oh, did you need your board, kids?

Here you go.

Dang, Gail. And they look hydrated, too. Mary Jo!

We missed you so much.

Is that the paramedic? Yeah.

Where is he?

He's in holding. The medic said that the symptoms are all in his head. No way.

Yeah, a guy spent all his free time talking on his radio with a group called

Dark Days.

They're a bunch of conspiracy theorist guys.

We heard some of them on the radio when we were taking the lung sample.

Y 'all should have seen us pull that off, by the way. The group's been going

nuts with theories since the whole Lanka thing in Mexico.

Their specialty is stuff that can kill you. Wesley overrode an ambulance that

was closer to us when he heard what Polanco's symptoms were.

So, he thought it could be Lanka, and he wanted to...

report to this conspiracy group? He was leaked to the press.

Yo.

I have never been so happy to see you jokers. Come on, let's go. It's a group

hug. Come on, group hug. All right, let's go. We gotta get moving.

Frank's headed back to the hospital to see if Dr. Harding can find out how

someone can get access to botulism toxins.

What up?

Roy, you got something or are you having another one of your woodworking

fantasies?

We got a line to a whole group of people that sit around and obsess over stuff

that can kill you.

Have you

looked into places that work with it?

Is there anywhere else beside a university you can think of?

Gail, get a list of folks who had access to the testing lab at the university.

On it.

Directory of employees from Vital Works Cosmetics.

The place suggested by the very first radio net you talked to. Sir, I only

to know about the botulism toxin. Because this is a fact.

Rags covered in linseed oil can spontaneously combust when left in a

trying other channels.

Hello, anyone out there on dark days?

Gail, run down these names of the folks that had lab access at that cosmetics

company. Mary Granger, Elliot Thorpe, Christopher Crawford. Wait, wait, wait.

Elliot Thorpe?

Vera, you got something?

Elliot Thorpe.

Yes. He was at the hospital.

He was afraid he was going to die at Linka. He kept asking me and Frank to

his wife that he loved her.

If he's the one that sprayed Polanco, it would make sense. He thought he might

have breathed it in, infected himself.

Randy, call the hospital.

I anticipated your request. I'm on with them already.

I'll get word to Frank. He's at the hospital talking to Dr. Harder.

I got confirmation.

Elliot Thorpe was seen by a doctor who was released a few minutes ago.

Let's go.

Yes, I need to speak to NIS agent Michael Frank, the surgeon.

Elliot Thorpe!

Stop it, I ask!

Stop! Elliot Thorpe!

Mr.

Thorpe, ain't no use in running from a man with boots and a badge.

Dr. Harding said everyone that came to the ER with symptoms is cleared.

It was all mass paranoia. Still, shower's going to feel good today.

I'm going to take two.

Thank you. All right.

Glad y 'all are here.

Thorpe is in holding. Got a full confession on the ride back. So that,

Dukes of Hazzard takedown and my great one -liner about the boots and the

safe to say, old Mikey is still got it.

Yeah? Did you happen to get a wife from Thorpe? Yeah, his wife met Polanco at a

cooking class. Started banging him.

Jealous husband kills wife lover.

After all that, I thought it'd be more original.

Morning, people.

FYI, you called cocktails for tonight?

You all didn't get enough last night? Carl's on duty, so he's out. What's with

all the towels?

Is that the same suit you were wearing yesterday?

Yeah, I was on night duty. Easiest shift ever. I spent all night down in my

office. Not one call came in.

Oh my God, I know we call him Dalton Basement, and I did clear the building,

I do tend to forget his office is down here.

Wait, so you didn't have the calls forwarded to my line?

Well, yeah.

It was a good run while I lasted.

Did something happen last night? What did I miss?

Hey, Lala.

Do you mind, um...

It's only coffee.

I'm going to be late tonight.

Why? Where are you going? I have a thing.

What thing?

You're never late to cake cocktail.

Well played, Bernard.

Okay, you tell me yours first.

Why do you miss Cheers?

I've been hanging out with this guy.

I don't know.

I really like him.

Oh, crap.

Does his name rhyme with me, Roy Bibbs?

Lala, he is married.

No. No.

No.

His name is Johnny.

That's great.

Manly name. Why is it a big secret?

Come on.

Your turn.

Fill it.

Why are you going to be late, Bernard?

And then he tells me he's taking a stand -up comedy class.

That's the secret.

I can't think of anything that makes me happier than the idea of Randy on stage

telling jokes.

So I'm Johnny now, huh?

What are you going to tell Flaco my name is?

I don't talk to Flaco about important stuff.

Kowalski was right about what he saw out his evidence room window.

The office was a living, breathing thing.

It was a family.

How are you doing?

Upgrade from last night, huh?

Well, if you did after last night, you got your eyes set on team leaders

someday.

Hey, you make a damn good one.

Leroy Gibson, Michael Frank, please report to the stage for a group hug.

Boss, I'm not taking no for an answer.

That crazy night in lockdown, it changed me.

From that night on, I knew I had what it took.

I didn't know how or when I would get there.

But I knew that someday I would lead the charge.

I'd have my own team.

And they would call me boss.

And I would see them just like this.

Just like a family.

A family that I would protect.

No matter what.
