REPORTER:
With the Sun-9 crisis

growing exponentially,

and hitting all 50 states,

maskless protesters are making

their voices heard, arguing that

quarantine restrictions
are getting out of hand.

This is tyranny.
Our Founding Fathers

would never approve
of anything like this.

REPORTER:
50 of the maskless protesters

stormed a health food store,

berating masked employees
and customers.

This is not a zombie crisis.

If you look at the numbers,
more people die every year

from flu-related cannibalism
than from this.

(crowd shouting, clamoring)

-(snarling)
-(screaming)

REPORTER:
Police were called
to the scene of the protest,

but a Sun-9 attack
had already hit,

and 40 protesters
in the store were already dead.

-A spokesperson for the...
-It's out of control.

Are you watching the news?

Yeah.

So what do we do now?
What's the next step?

Just one second, Lily.

(phone beeping)

LILY:
What is it? The vaccine?

RACHEL:
Just give me one second.

LILY:
What? Rachel?

What's going on?

(Rachel exhales)

What is it?

Lily. I need your help.

That's why I'm here.

There's a chance-- um, no.

Not just a chance.

I have about five hours left.

Left of what?

I got infected.

-What do you mean?
-With Sun-9.

-I got infected with it.
-That-- you said

we both had COVID,
so we couldn't...

Yeah, no, we couldn't
get it airborne,

but I handled a sample
and I cut myself.

-What do we do?
-Well, we have to...

use the time that we have left.

How do you know you
have five hours?

RACHEL:
Because I just did
the calculations

based on the spread
and so I've got, um...

(laughs)

Till 8:00. (chuckles)

I have until 8:00 p.m.

What do I do, Rachel?
What can I do?

I may need you to step up
if things go south, all right?

I'm gonna need you to get
my results to my husband

at the CDC.

Can you do what we did
with my dad?

Can you... you know,

amputate?

No.

(softly):
Oh, fuck.

-(snarling)
-(chains rattle)

(roars)

Hey, Rachel, we're
on some kind of lockdown.

There was an outbreak
at the Rose Garden,

and they've got us all
locked in here.

RACHEL:
I'm infected.

What did you say, babe?

I'm infected.

Are you sure?

I cut my hand on a sample.

I'll send out the CDC
to pick you up.

-No.
-They can be there
in about an hour.

-It's not gonna do any good.
-Rachel, listen to me...

No! No, Zach, you need
to listen to me.

I am not even gonna be myself
in about five hours.

-You don't know that.
-Listen,

I've been working
on a therapeutic

and-and I think
it has some potential.

-You can do that same work
from a CDC lab.
-No!

No, if I get symptomatic,

they're just gonna
put me in lockup.

You know that.

Oh, my God, Rachel.

So, listen, I'm sending you

some, um, some micrographs

of the Sun-9 protein.

And you can see it's-it's
not a COVID deformity.

It's-it's an addition.

-You see it?
-Yeah.

-It looks attached.
-Yeah.

It is, and that's
what we're focusing on.

You see the-the yellow
bonding agent?

It's got a microscopic
patent number on it,

"PP-48933."

-It's not Bio Defense Armor.
-It's-it's not

Bio Defense Armor, either.

It's, uh, um...
We did some contact tracing.

And it's a patent pulled by
a company called C.C. Cellular.

-What is that,
genetic engineering?
-No. It's cosmetics.

It's a cosmetic company.

A-And this bonding agent
was created

to deliver
a Botox-like, full-body

neurotoxic protein.

-You're kidding?
-No.

So that's what I'm working on.

So... keep me posted
if you find anything.

Wait, I'm coming home.

RACHEL:
No. What, are you,
are you crazy?

There is nothing more
to be done here, Rache.

Zach! If you come home,

and I am symptomatic,

I...

I'll just try to kill you.

I-I'm...

I'm so sorry, Rachel.

Yeah, me, too.

I should've never let you leave
last week.

God, has it only been a week?
(sniffles)

Yeah.

Listen, you can do something
for me though. If...

When thing-- Ugh.

If... (chuckles)
things go south,

can you send someone
from the CDC

to pick up my upstairs neighbor?

-The sex worker?
-No.

The writer.

If we solve this,

she is the main reason.

So promise me
that you will take care of her.

Okay? Her name
is Lily Leithauser.

I promise.

I love you.

I love you, too.

(key clicks)

I'm so sorry, Zach.

I just-- I feel like this is
the direction it's heading.

You know? It's like COVID.

All of a sudden, you look
around. All my friends had it.

There is hope though.

What?

The Hoboken Project

had created a therapeutic,
but it didn't work.

And I think that's because
we were trying to splice it

with the Bio Defense Armor
protein, not this one.

Can you call them?

-I'm on it.
-Yeah. Hurry.

(line ringing)

Yeah?

I need to talk to Baccarin.

You have an appointment today?

No, I'm calling him.

I'll have him return.

(computer chimes)

(line ringing)

-Get me Baccarin.
-He's sleeping.

Wake him up.

Now.

What?

I need your help.

(quietly): I need your help
solving something.

Lily, I'm busy now.
We have an appointment tomorrow.

Rachel is infected.

Who's that?

You know who that is.

I'm sorry.

We all have to die sometime.

Baccarin.

Rachel is my friend.

And she is so close
to curing this thing

and saving the world.

Lily, the world is hopeless.

It will always find a way
to destroy itself.

Then help me save Rachel.

You can't save her.

No one can.

It's impressive
that you want to try,

but it's an exercise
in futility.

And it puts you in danger,

and that doesn't interest me.

I don't give a shit

what interests you,

you arrogant prick!

Listen, you are
a worthless piece of crap,

but Rachel isn't.

And you will help me save her.

Or we have had our last session.

Do you understand?

I said, do you understand?

I do.

Good.

So how are you gonna help?

I'll make a call.

Don't bullshit me.

She will be dead by 8:00 p.m.

What's your plan?

I can do a deep dive
into C.C. Cellular,

find out more about P.P. 489333.

Maybe locate
its chemical makeup.

Not maybe.
You will do that for me.

(chimes)

(exhales)

-(sniffles)
-(line ringing)

How are you doing?

Okay, for now.

What are you doing?

Trying possible antitoxins.

Uh, Botox is based on
Clostridium botulinum.

And so I'm injecting
antigen-binding fragments,

ones usually used
to block neurotoxins.

Sounds good.

It's not working.

Why not?

I don't know. Just...

trial and error from this point.

But it's based
on a neurotoxin, right?

Yeah, but with this degree
of neurotoxin,

it's-it's hard to know
exactly what will work.

Okay.

-I'll call you back.
-Oh, Lily.

-Yeah.
-I-I spoke to my husband

and, uh, told him
that you would be contacting him

if...

if things...

don't go right here.

And-and he said
that he would send someone

from the CDC to pick you up.

-Pick me up? Why?
-Lily,

things are not going well
in New York.

Okay, I'm hanging up now.

Lily, you need to consider
next steps.

I'll talk to you soon.

(chimes)

(sighs)

All right.

Binding fragment number three.

Oh, good.

Good.

Oh, come on. Please, God.

Please, God.

No.

Shit.

Shit!

Fragment number three,

ineffective.

Sun-9 still rapidly increasing.

Turning to fragment number four.

(line ringing)

Where's my money, Lily?

Oh, good. You haven't been eaten
by zombies yet.

Oh, my God.
Do you believe in all that?

Aren't you watching the news?

I haven't believed the news
since the Iraq War.

Where's my money
from Galen Best?

I sent it. Five minutes ago.

-Check your email.
-Okay, then what do you need?

(inhales)
Advice.

Take your calls,

turn your clients, pay me.

It's an easy three-step process.

You always told me about Botox
and how I should start early

so it won't look fake
as I get older.

Where's this coming from, Lily?

You always said you hated Botox.

I have relented.

Remember, you told me about
that new full-body treatment?

Yeah, it's not available
in America.

-But tell me about it.
-I went on

a cosmetic tourism trip
to South Korea.

Three-shot regimen.

Every muscle was impacted.

-What was it called?
-I don't remember.

But it's illegal in America.

-So it's dangerous?
-No,

America's just finicky.

Did you feel the effects
immediately?

Why are you asking
all these questions?

-You can't get it here.
-I have a friend.

I have a friend
who's having a bad reaction.

To this full-body

Botox-like thing?

Yes.

-Are they still in South Korea?
-No.

-No.
-Too bad,

because I think
they have an antidote there

for people
who have a bad reaction.

You don't remember the name
of any of this?

No.

But you could check
with your client friend.

My client friend?
What are you talking about?

Your client,
the plastic surgeon.

He's the top surgeon
in New York.

What? Who? What? Which client?
What are you talking about?

-Who are you talking about?
-(thumping, growling)
-Biddy, get that!

-Duchess,

-Biddy,

-No, Duchess.

-Duchess! This is important.

-Tell me.
-Give me a second.

Damn it, Biddy!

-Biddy!
-Duchess, don't open the door.

-(loud growling)
-Can't get good slaves

No. Don't.

Duchess, don't get the door.

I didn't know
we had a session today.

Hold on. Hold on, Mr. Lewis.

I-I almost have it on.

This isn't a session.

In fact, I want to give you
two sessions for free.

What? Why?

I have a friend who needs
to get some Botox work done.

And I heard you were
a plastic surgeon.

Um, I thought maybe
you could recommend someone.

Uh...

I don't know
where you heard that,

but I'm not a plastic surgeon;
I work at a day care.

Why did you call me Doc?

Because you are. Because
you're a plastic surgeon.

(stammers)

Okay, what do you need?

I have a friend who's struggling
with a full-body

Botox-like treatment
she got in South Korea.

-Uh, SKAT?
-What?

The antidote, it's--
uh, the antidote's called SKAT.

Yeah, that sounds right.
Can you spell that for me?

S-K-A-T.

-S-K-A-T. She needs some.
-(pen scribbling)

And I heard that maybe
you could find something...

Uh, uh, no, it's-it's...
it's illegal in the U.S.

I know the full-body thing is,
but the antidote,

-what about that?
-Both are.

-She should go to a doctor
right now, okay?
-Which doctor?

Which doctor? Who can help her?

Nobody in the United States.

I hear that there's-there's...

some available in South Korea.

-(computer ringing)
-Uh, okay, Lily,
I'm gonna need you

to not call back here,
not when I have the kids...

-What did you find out?
-Uh, C.C. Cellular
is locked down.

No one is there.

Or no one who could
answer the phone was there.

What is SKAT?

(sighs)

Full-body botulinum antitoxin.
Outlawed.

Not in South Korea.
So it's a proven antidote?

That won't necessarily
help your friend.

My friend's name is Rachel.

Lily, I have a proposal for you.

Where is the antidote?

It's part of the EPS.

-The what?
-The Emergency Pandemic Supply.

It's a stockpile of antitoxins
at major airports

so it can be transported
to anywhere

-in the U.S. immediately.
-Can you make a call?

Lily, I have a proposal for you.

First, make a call.

No, first hear my proposal.

The country is going down.

What does that mean?

I've worked in risk analysis
for years.

This is exactly the event
we were worried about.

Airborne virus that results
in 80 to 100% mortality.

And you're in Hell's Kitchen.

How do you know that?

Lily, I trace anybody
who calls me.

Hell's Kitchen is being overrun,
right now.

This is Fall of Saigon time.

Come with me.

In two hours I will have
a helicopter ready

on the 30th Street helipad.

And I can send a car to
pick you up in 90 minutes.

Come with me.

Where?

I have a place on Saint Lucia.
A compound.

It's beautiful, and it's quiet.

-Why me?
-What do you mean?

Why do you care about me?

I don't know.

I didn't. Now I do.

I don't reflect on my emotions
too much.

Not in a while, anyway.

-I can't run out, Baccarin.
-You're not running out.

You're saving a life.

Your own.

Your friend Rachel is dead.

She is not.

Please help me save her.

Make a call to the... PPE.

-EPS.

It's 74 degrees in Saint Lucia.

-I'm sending you pictures.
-(chiming)

Come with me.

We can ride this out there.
Come back when it's over.

Baccarin,
if we don't find a cure,

there won't be an "over."

There won't be a city
to come back to.

We will be the last people
on the planet.

Me, too.

Would that be the worst thing?

All of New York dead?

Yeah.

Where are you
with the antitoxin?

I wasn't able to get it.

Both JFK and LaGuardia
are overrun.

So, that's it?

That is all you've got?

Other than "come with me
to some stupid island"?

Um...

My contact gave me one tip.

He said the antitoxin
must be injected

directly into the spinal column

to ensure it crosses
the blood-brain barrier.

Well, that is absolutely
fucking useless

without an antitoxin,
but thanks.

Lily, I want you to be with me.

The world...

the world will be lonelier
without you.

I can't.

Okay, here's what I'll do.

I'm driving past your place
in 20 minutes.

I'll honk three times.

I'll wait two minutes.
Then I'm leaving.

We can't wait any longer.

God, you don't make this easy.

It is easy.

It's as easy
as getting in a car.

There's a reason
they call them "lost causes."

Trust me, this one is lost.

I'll listen for the honks.

See you then.

one of these syringes

There's kind of

happening out there.
Do you mind if I come in?

-(chuckles softly)
-Forgot

how spacious your unit is.

I thought you'd hung up on me
so you could take off.

Where would I go?

Baccarin told me

something important
about the therapeutic.

Blood dilutes it,
so it needs to be

injected into the spinal column

to pass the blood-brain barrier.

Wow.

-Okay, that's important to know.
-Yes.

And I realized that you couldn't
give yourself that injection.

-You didn't have to do that.
-So, if that shot

doesn't work,

there isn't time
for the other one?

No. No.

N-Not for me, no.

So, can you inject it into me?

No. No, no, you're not infected.

How do you get infected?

Well, it's a-a transfer
of saliva or blood.

Lily!

Lily.

No.

Now we're both infected.

But, Lily,

only one of these syringes
has the cure.

So one of us is not gonna

-make it.
-And one of us will.

And that person will absolutely
know which one is the cure,

and she will take it out
into the world,

and that is
how we will save everyone.

-I...
-Come on,

we don't have very much time.

Oh, my...

(plastic crinkling)

-That is a very long needle.
-Yeah, well,

it's got to go a very long way.
(chuckles softly)

You're gonna want to inject--

let me show you--

right here
between these two bumps

right into my spine.

-Here, let me, let me mark it.
-All right.

All right?

-Yes.
-You're gonna inject

a little bit at a right angle.

Slowly and steady
until you feel a pop.

-(gasps) Uh-huh.
-You'll be fine.

Okay, turn around. Turn around.

Can you pull up your shirt?

Okay. We're ready.

Is this gonna hurt?

A lot.

Okay.

Just-just surprise me.

Five, four...

-Okay.
-Okay.

Okay, good.

How much time do we have?

Three minutes and 12 seconds.

-Are you serious?
-Yeah. Turn around.

-That's a very specific
amount of time.
-Yeah.

Well, that's how long it takes
for it to reach the brain.

I talk a lot
when I'm about to get a shot,

so just...
go ahead and surprise me!

Oh!

You weren't lying.

So, what now?

I mean...

RACHEL:

What's that?

Oh, my God.

What?

Don't tell me you've never seen
Sixteen Candles.

Mm, no. I...

I never watched a lot of movies.
I was always studying.

Okay.

If I die and you save the world,

promise me that you will watch
Sixteen Candles.

-Okay?
-(chuckling)

Okay.

And if you die?

I don't know. If I die,

I want you to just...

make sure
you take that therapeutic

and-and get it out

what the formula is.

We can save people's lives.

I've never ridden a horse.

Oh, blending into the sea

Mm.

And I'll miss my parents.

Give my mom a hug for me.

You know, I just...

I hope with this cure
that, um...
