Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on The Strain...

They've broken through our entire Northern perimeter.

Pull out of the park now.

Withdraw, all units, withdraw.

Sanjay Desai. Who are you?

He's a new associate of ours, Eldritch.

| hear that you are facilitating

a very important shipment for us.

What is the meaning of this?

You dictators!

No, this is not my doing. You have invited your own demise.

This step | take IS more merciful than triumphant.

[ticking]

[grunting]

[ticking continues]

[thunder rumbling]

[explosion]

[sighs] Iman] Let's get this over with.

It Isn't pretty, people.

Last night, our forces fell back to 42nd Street.

We're hoping that they can hold the line--

How?

[phone ringing]

We're short on ammunition, food, water and people.

It's only a matter of time before the city falls.

| disagree, Captain.

The problem is that we have been spreading our forces too thin.

We need to fall back to smaller enclaves

ones that we have the means to defend.

If we play this right,

we can hold out until the labs in Atlanta, DC and Virginia

come with a cure for this.

| understand your Impulse to hang on. But the hard truth is,

unless we pull out now, we're all gonna die here.

[man] He's right. And where we would go, Captain?

Saratoga Springs.

In the mountains, outside of Albany. They have a thousand troops.

We can hold out there until DC gets their shit together.

[people talking]

[phone ringing]

You want to cut and run?

Go ahead.

But I'm not going anywhere.

This is our city.

A city we are sworn to protect.

And |, for one, am not going to abandon her.

[man] There's nothing left.

Who else is with us?

[ringing continues]

It's been an honor, Councilwoman.

[upbeat music playing]

Good to see you again, Bob.

It's been too long.

Mr. Palmer.

Sorry to barge in unannounced.

But I'm here about a delicate matter,

one that requires utmost discretion.

It's not an imposition, sir.

| was just surprised to see you up and about.

Why Is that?

Sanjay Desai told us he had to assume your responsibilities

because you were incapacitated.

Well, as you can see, nothing could be further from the truth.

Bob, I've come to you because | believe

you may be one of the few people in Stoneheart

whom | can still trust.

Of course you can, Sir.

Tell me how | can help.

May 17?

Desai is in league with certain unscrupulous parties

that are trying to gain control of Stoneheart.

| need to know about a piece of valuable cargo

that arrived In New York aboard

a ship named the Aurora Cutlass.

Yes, I've heard Mr. Desai speaking to someone about that.

He offloaded the cargo without my permission.

| need to know where. Time 1s a critical factor.

I'll have the information for you by end of day.

This is my personal number.

Call me as soon as you know something.

Thank you, Bob.

| can't believe Mr. Desai thought he could get away with this.

He won't.

Can | help you?

Good afternoon. Is Mr. O'Neill in?

Do you have an appointment?

| do not, but I'm sure-- I'm sorry,

but Mr. O'Neill IS very busy.

You can't just walk In here and expect him to meet with him.

Tell him his son Is here.

| know Mr. O'Neill's son and you're not him.

Just tell him Eldritch Palmer is here. He knows who | am.

Eldritch.

You grew.

It's been a long time.

Why the cane? You have an accident?

One of my kidneys gave out and | had it removed.

Good news is, | think that might have been the source

of my other health problems.

Glad to hear it.

| gotta say, you kind of put me

on the spot showing up unannounced.

| didn't have a choice. You failed to respond to my letters.

What letters? | wrote three of them.

Those kids at the mail room probably lost them.

So hard to find reliable people.

Did you know my mother died last spring?

Yes. | wasn't sure.

You didn't send flowers to the funeral.

| thought about It.

But then | thought, "How would that look?"

Suddenly, now that the woman's dead,

| make some sentimental gesture

to show what a great and caring guy | am?

You wouldn't have wanted me to do that.

So what can | do for you?

| want to come work for you.

Work for me?

Doing what?

I'd like a position In your investment department.

I've seen the stockholder reports.

They're not handling your assets well.

Frankly, | think they're playing it too conservatively.

Eldritch, that's just not realistic.

You're asking for a demanding, high-pressure job

with 80-hour work weeks.

Frankly, | don't think you have the stamina.

| may not be In the best of health,

but my mind is razor sharp and never gets tired.

It's always working,

coming up with new ways to make money.

| suppose, in that regard, I'm very much like you.

[knocking] [door opening]

Hello, Lee.

Just wanna let you know Ken Shaw's in the conference room.

Thanks, I'll be right there.

Eldritch,

| won't give you a job.

But | am going to give you this.

Ten thousand dollars.

Do some traveling.

See the world while you can.

Life's too short to spend it cooped up in some office.

| don't intend to have a short life

and I'm not interested in traveling.

Spend it however you like.

But let me be clear.

This is the last check you'll be getting from me.

It fulfills whatever obligations you imagine | have to you.

[instrumental music playing]

Best of luck.

So, where is Nayarit?

[speaking in Spanish]

Sounds beautiful.

[police sirens]

Pull over!

I'm getting hell out of New York

no matter what happens, all right?

[sirens continue]

[speaking in Spanish]

[suspenseful music playing] lyelps]

[both laughing]

[dog barking]

Are you here for more silver?

Oh, yeah.

Came by to tell you that it's no longer safe here.

NYPD is pulling out.

Of Red Hook?

Red Hook, Manhattan, Staten Island, everywhere.

Jesus Christ.

What about the Master? Did you find him?

Working on it. And the books?

Professor finished it but we got a problem.

Quinlan's gone missing. We need him

before they get Master into It.

| don't know how we're gonna do without him.

We might be able to help with that.

The device we're working on, It could disorient him

or maybe even interrupt his network.

Well, it's not fully operational.

Right now, we have a few key components that--

Did you not hear what | just said?

We don't have any time for this bullshit.

All right? We got one day, maybe two,

before the whole city Is overrun.

So... So what?

We just run away like the cops? It's not gonna happen.

We have a real shot with this.

Do whatever you want. All right?

And you, you should come back to the club with me.

If all else fails, | could get us out of the city.

| appreciate your concern. | do.

[scoffs]

Just... We are so close. This could be a game changer.

At least | tried.

Hey, | wish you the best of luck.

[instrumental music playing]

[door knob turns]

[Eph] Not a whiff of spooge.

| thought for sure the feelers would be down here.

[Dutch] Well, we better find one soon. Time's running out.

[Eph] Thank you.

[Dutch] For what?

For sticking with this...

With me.

Just protecting my interests.

How's that?

After we slay the Master,

there will be millions of his mindless progeny running around.

Our little gadget can make us a bloody fortune.

We have company.

Where?

Behind us.

[snarling]

[door creaking]

[animal screaming]

[screaming continues]

[breathing heavily]

[Eph] Looks so much easier on the nature shows.

[Dutch] No, they don't show these bits.

[animal snarling]

[gun shots]

Gunfire, in Red Hook? It's been

a while since we've heard that.

In broad daylight.

That's what we have to look forward to.

Human predators by day, Strigoi by night.

[instrumental music playing]

There it is. Wow.

Well, you're right, Doc.

That's double the size of the communication nodes

we found in common Strigoi. So, you think we got a shot?

If we can get the playback Interface to work.

Pessimistic? Not this girl.

| like a challenge.

[distant sirens]

[sighs]

There you are.

Quinlan hasn't shown?

| gather you didn't find him with Goodweather.

NO.

He should have been back by now.

Could be the Ancients have thrown in with the Master.

If sO, our task grows exponentially more difficult.

And there's the other problem. Finding the master.

What's got you so obsessed in there?

A disturbing number of references

to an occultation preceding an apocalypse.

We had an eclipse a few weeks ago.

No, | think this refers to something else,

something that has not yet happened.

Professor, we need to take a step back.

Now think about the big picture.

We've got one day, maybe two, before the city falls.

We need to get out, live to fight another day.

For me, there is no other day.

| will either do this now or die trying.

[horns blaring]

[an shouting] Come on, how much longer?

We're all gonna die sitting here.

[vehicles moving]

[speaking in Spanish]

So, we got to find another way off this island.

[woman] Come on, move it, move It!

Make a U-turn. Gotta get through there.

[phone ringing]

So how many elected to stay?

Five.

Of all the officers in Manhattan and Brooklyn?

Well, to be fair, there weren't that many left to begin with.

We never should have left Staten Island.

We owned It.

We could have ridden all of this out from there.

| know.

Then Mayor Lyle made that sales pitch

about how | could be the hero of New York.

| took the bait.

| just got off the phone with E.S.U.

in Jersey City right across Hudson.

They have a safe zone. Resources. We can join them.

If we stay here,

seven of us?

[phone ringing]

We'd probably die, right?

All right, people.

Let's get the hell out of here.

[eerie music]

[door slamming]

There's three In the gatehouse.

According to your man, there's more inside.

Are you sure you can take it?

They're rent-a-cops, so with this level of security,

it's more than likely your cargo Is still inside.

Then what are we waiting for?

Your final order, sir.

Are we a go?

Yes, you are.

All right, then.

Let's have some fun, shall we?

All teams, we're hot. Let's roll.

Stop right there!

Iman] They're shooting!

[guns firing]

[man screaming in pain]

Stay in the vehicle, Mr. Palmer.

Move! Move!

[gunfire continues]

Iman] All clear!

Fire in the hole, take cover!

[Sean] Move in, move in.

[alarm walling]

[man] Clear! All clear!

[phone beeps]

[Sean over phone] Facility is secured. We have the cargo and Desai.

[man speaking indistinctly]

[Sean] Over here, sir.

Take it easy.

Your cargo, Mr. Palmer.

Mr. Desai.

Nice to see you again.

| want to thank you for handling things for me

while | was incapacitated.

That's what you told my employees, wasn't it?

That | was too crippled to run my own company.

|, that wasn't my idea, Mr. Palmer, sir.

That was Eichhorst.

| admire you. | always have. That's why | wanted to work with you.

Open it. Yes, Sir.

Are you looking for Mr. O'Neill?

Yes, yes.

He's In the day room.

Cane.

[old man laughing]

[woman] You are disgusting.

And you love It, too, don't you?

Yes.

Very good match there.

Hello, Father.

You have another son.

Hey, It's almost lunch time.

We don't want to lose our table. NO.

Nice to meet you.

[music playing]

| heard you had a heart attack.

I'm relieved to see you seem to be on the mend.

What do you want?

To thank you.

For what?

Making me everything | am today.

That's supposed to be a joke?

Quite the contrary.

That check you gave me 30 years ago,

| doubled that 10,000 in the market.

Then doubled it again and so on and so on.

So, you see, all my wealth, my achievements,

| owe them all to you.

A check for $10,000.

It fulfills whatever obligations

you might imagine | have to you.

[instrumental music playing]

Go to hell.

By the way,

| took possession of O'Neill Industries yesterday.

| guess you know that.

You want to know what I'm going to do with it?

I'm not interested.

I'm shutting down the mills. Sacking the management.

Selling off the assets.

And renaming what's left Stoneheart, in honor of you.

Your precious company that you loved more than me,

or my mother, or anyone else, will cease to exist.

What's so funny? YOu.

You wasted your life trying to get even with me?

Look at you.

Look what it's done to you.

Withered, sickly, barely able to stand.

You look older than | do.

Goodbye, Father.

I'll outlive you.

I'll dance on your grave.

[hammering]

[crashing]

Unlock it, please.

| don't have the-- Open it

or I'll blow your goddamn head off.

Okay.

What is this?

That's a nuclear bomb, sir.

Where did it come from?

Russia.

Eichhorst brokered a deal through the black market

and had it shipped through Egypt.

Where's the other one?

Eichhorst took It.

What did he do with it?

| don't know.

There was a massive explosion yesterday in South Manhattan.

Is It possible?

Tactical nuke could do that, sir.

What did he blow up? | don't know.

| have no idea, | swear.

No matter.

| think | can find a use for this.

[suitcase ticking]

Use? What use?

What's your fancy, sir?

Bring him along.

Checkpoint George Washington. Kowalski, come in, over.

Is there anyone on this frequency, over.

Still no answer.

They pulled out, too.

[honking]

Damn It.

[siren]

Attention, drivers, this Is New York Police Department.

Move your vehicles off the road.

This is the New York Police Department

move your vehicles off the road.

I'm going up.

Kat, Nick, can you check it out, wait for my clear?

Copy that.

It's all clear. Let's move.

Kross, get up.

It's long way back to Brooklyn.

The safest thing for us IS to button up and stay here--

[man groans] What the...

[gunfire]

Kat, Nick, you got Strigs on your Six.

Kat, Nick, come In, over.

[door banging]

Is that you, Kat?

[banging continues]

Open it.

God, Jesus!

Holy shit.

Damn, that's messed up. Turn around, let's go.

[speaking in Spanish]

What, are you crazy?

What are you talking about, man?

They're cops, all right? They don't give a shit about us.

We can't wait this out.

[banging door, snarling]

[knocking at door]

Yo, come on, open up.

Help.

Come on, | ain't got all night, come on. Come on.

Come on, let's go.

Wait. Do | know you?

Yeah, we met on the chain gang.

You want to sit here and reminisce

or do you want to get the hell out of here?

How are we going to do that?

We got to make for the bridge.

Strigoi can't follow us OVer running water.

We make it past that overturned van and we're free.

[squealing] More coming.

Let's go. Let's go.

Come on, come on, Angel, come on.

[gunfire]

[screaming]

[squealing]

Move, move to the car, move, move.

[firing continues]

Just got to get past those four and we're free, all right?

[squealing]

Go! Go! Go!

No! No!

No!

Shit!

You're going to be all right, you're going to be all right, right?

You're gonna be okay.

[speaking in Spanish]

No, | can't, | can't go. I'm not going without you, man.

No, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving you.

[speaking in Spanish]

Move your ass, run.

Get going! What are you doing?

What're you doing? [speaking in Spanish] Vamos!

[gunshot]

[squealing continues]

[screaming]

[door opening]

You sure the signal won't affect us?

Shouldn't do.

Memory chip blasts the Master's signal

to the feelers’ communication lobe, 1

and into the brains of any Strigoi in range.

Sounds less than definitive.

Well, it's all theory, Doc.

| could be totally wrong.

Best sales pitch ever.

This might be a good time to turn that on.

[squealing]

[vibrating noise]

[hissing]

[squealing continues]

Hello.

Anybody home?

[burn sound]

[vibrating noise continues]

[animals screaming]

We did It.

Eph, we did it.

lt works.

[man speaking indistinctly] Pull them back!

It was incredible. They were completely rudderless.

No, but you...

You realize Master saw this through

the eyes of those munchers, right?

He's probably already got a work around, you know.

No, he didn't see shit.

The signal paralyzed their communication systems

when it paralyzed them. They just went off his grid.

You want to seal them in this? The device can help you do that.

It works on Strigol, but you think

It could also incapacitate the Master?

| do.

What do you think, Mr. Fet?

| think it's worth a try.

We could take the contraption but we don't take him.

| created the goddamn thing.

Why do you want to take credit for it all?

Dutch built it, she can run It.

Fet, why are you doing this?

Because he is a liar and a thief.

For Christ's sake, Fet. Get over it, | made a mistake.

No. No. You knew exactly what you were doing.

Not to mention all the people that have paid for your failure.

Like Nora, your wife.

How about that assault in Central Park? How did that work out?

Half the cops In New York are dead because of you.

You're responsible for those people.

[both grunting]

[grunt] [groan]

Hey, hey, hey, stop it.

Stay down, Doc.

Stop this.

You're giving the Master exactly what he wants.

He would love us to turn against each other.

Especially now.

The Professor Is right.

[footsteps approaching]

We have no time for your bickering.

What happened to you?

You talked to the Ancients?

The Ancients are dead.

The bomb? Secured, sir.

Good. No time to waste. We can expect him at any moment.

| understand the two of you have a lot of personal issues.

Don't take any unnecessary risks, sir.

My team can handle this. NO.

| appreciate your concern, but no.

Magnificent,

IS It not?

Thank you for agreeing to see me.

| must say, | was surprised to hear from you.

It's been a long time and when last

we spoke, you rejected my offer.

Well, | was young, impulsive.

Frankly, the commitment seemed too daunting.

And | thought over time, money would

help me overcome my medical problems.

| realize now that was folly.

So, I'm hoping we might revisit your proposal.

The door is still open.

| want you to understand that there will be no more hesitation.

| Intend to put all my resources at the Master's disposal.

Now, if that's true,

your life is about to change In ways you cannot imagine.

The master will render you immune to disease and decay.

You don't know what that means to me.

Ever since | was a boy,

I've dreamt of being free of infirmity,

free of this wheelchair.

Of being strong and vital.

That dream could soon be a reality.

Now,

| wanted to clarify the terms of our agreement.

| want an equal partnership.

The Master was quite clear. You shall serve at his side.

Do | have his word on this?

Of course.

Forgive my mistrust,

people have disappointed me In the past.

Parents, wives, children, they all disappoint us, Eldritch.

How could they not?

They're humans.

But the Master is different.

He will never let you down or betray you.

Now, do we have a deal?

You crossed the line for the last time, Eldritch.

You mean, my taking possession of the nuclear bomb | paid for.

You will return It Immediately.

Certainly.

Once your Master reveals himself,

and fulfills his promise to me--

It's always about you, Eldritch, Isn't it?

Demanding full payment

when you have yet to fulfill your part of the bargain.

Take a look out of the window.

You will see my part of the bargain.

In return, he has given me nothing.

Master gave you the white which Is why you're still alive.

And how you repay him?

By plotting and scheming to betray him.

But it ends here.

Then your Master will never get the nuke.

Oh, yes.

He will,

after | drink you

and the worms have had their way,

the Master will have your memories.

Then, | snap your neck

and silence you for all eternity.

| have been looking forward to this for a long time.

So have |.

[gunshot] [splashing]

[guns firing]

[firing continues]

Tactic, seal the building.

No, let him go.

His Master already knows what we have done.

What's our next move, sir?

Fetch the car. There's not a moment to lose.

| need to see Setrakian, now. Yes, Sir.
