Wow, I can't believe
Owen went all crazy like that.

He was an asshat,
but his phone will come in handy.

You think Owen would add
"bro" at the end of a message?

I think he's an emoji guy.

"Ready and waiting, bro."

Classic Owen.

I bet you Sarkov doesn't respond.

"En route." Hey.

If he has a gun, don't Chupi out on him.

- We need him alive.
- Why would he have a gun?

Two of his colleagues are dead.

- He's totally got a gun. I would.
- I bet you he doesn't.

How much?

All right.

We'll play for punishments.

You win, I give you something you want.

And if I win,
you give me something I want.

And that is?

You stop making fun of my age. Hmm?

Oh.

I didn't realize it bothered you so much.

Well, no. It's fine, but...

it can be a little bit insulting.

I've basically been on my own
since my parents died.

It stops now. Cross my heart.

Pick something else.

We go indoor kart racing.

- Now you're just baiting me.
- What?

It's fun. Darcy would never do it.
She'd say it's juvenile or something.

Yeah, she's right.
But it doesn't matter, I'm gonna win.

And when I do,
you have to show me your sketchbook.

- I can show you a sketchbook.
- Not "a sketchbook." That one.

What's so special about this one?

Yeah. That's what.

Go-karting versus sketchbook. We on?

You realize we're betting over
if Sarkov wants to shoot us or not?

You realize you could have bet me
to kiss you?

- Can I change my bet?
- No.

- Tilda?
- Tell me that was not him.

"Owen capitalizes 'Bro'.
Stop wasting my time."

Okay. So, Owen's phone is now dead.

How do we explain this to Abbi and Burke?

Leave that to me.

He pulled a gun on you?
That doesn't sound like Alex.

But it sounds like something he'd do.

Maybe. He is a naturally paranoid person.

- Totally won that bet.
- This doesn't prove anything, Tilda.

Dr. Sarkov complained
about the meeting time

because of the ferry schedule.

Shaw Island.

It's in the San Juans.
He had a house there.

I guess he still does.
It's quiet, isolated.

The perfect place to make monsters.

Scientists don't try to make monsters.

But if it happens,
it helps to be in the middle of nowhere.

Not that it's ever happened to me.

There's a ferry tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.

- Might wanna book a reservation.
- Us? Why do we have to go?

Need I remind you, he's got a gun?

I'd go but we're still trying to identify
Dr. Yake's protein glitch.

Here.

Show him this.

If it doesn't convince him to come
with you, I don't know what will.

Uh... All right. We're on it.

Hey, if you pick me up at 7:00,
maybe we can get to the first ferry.

- It's a date!
- Oh, it's a date.

Not what I meant.

Clearly their priority is
to find Alex and convince him to help us.

Yeah. Hmm?

Thank you.

But if you did want to stop to eat,
there is a romantic little bistro.

- What do they serve?
- Juan.

Not a date.

Well, we need to eat.

Abbi, do you think Tilda can hear us?

We're down in the lab. I hope not. Why?

Duh.

Maybe ease up on the dating jokes.

- She seems really sensitive about it.
- We were kidding.

Yeah, but you know Tilda.

Okay. Sure.

Um, oh, hey, can one of you stay here
on science-killer watch?

I need to run an errand,

and I don't want to leave
Dr. Burke here alone.

Uh, sure.

Great.

Tell Abbi to do her thing.

I'll keep an ear on Burke
'til she gets back.

That is so weird when you do that.
Like you're a psychic or something.

Or I can hear conversations
really far away.

- About that, I...
- Forget it.

I wouldn't want you to think
I'm too sensitive.

No. I didn't mean it that way.

- See you tomorrow, Juan.
- Hey. Tilda. Hey.

Hannah.

- You here to interrogate me?
- I'm here to make sure you're all right.

- So, how are you?
- Oh, I'm great. You?

I'm okay.
Oh, we got close to Dr. Sarkov today.

Then he pulled a gun on Juan
and Tilda and escaped.

- I was being sarcastic.
- Oh.

I've got a shop to run.

You know something about Yake's murder?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm not going to the cops.
I just need the truth.

Or what? You're gonna use your sexy smell
on me and make me talk?

I don't need pheromones
to know you're hiding something.

Another job?

Fuck.

♪ I see the bad moon a-risin'... ♪

Thank you.

Hey. Good morning.

Oh, great.

More tourists.

Yeah. Actually we're not tourists.
We're looking for someone.

You too? My daughter's missing. Zoe.

- Have you seen her?
- No, I'm sorry.

We're looking for a friend.

- He lives here...
- Not a friend. Mm-mm.

- I hope you find him.
- I hope you find your daughter.

Betsy, you can cover up that poster
of Belvedere.

That old dog's long since died
of natural causes.

No such thing as natural causes
around here.

Not since he showed up.

So you said you're looking for someone?

Uh, yeah. Alex Sarkov.

We were told he owns a house
on the island.

You want to get back in your vehicle,
drive down that hill,

and take the first right.

I'm pretty sure that takes us
back to the ferry terminal.

Exactly.

- You look like a nice couple...
- Not a couple.

- Yeah. I've got a girlfriend.
- Save yourselves a lot of grief.

Go back to the mainland.

And you should shave your beard
and stop playing creepy Santa.

Oh, we're not playing
"things that are none of your business"?

- Tilda.
- You don't wanna go to that Sarkov place.

Bad things happen out there.

No shit.

I drove. You get the snacks.

I tested transcription factors Sox2,

c-Myc, and KLF4
for the pluripotent reprogramming.

We can add that to the growing list

of things that
don't cause the side effects.

Well, you know what they say.
Forty-ninth time is the charm.

Feels more like 149th.

What if Yake was wrong?

I would be more surprised
if Brian was right.

Why are we wasting our time on this?

Because even wrong roads
can lead us to the right answer.

Remember Alex spent the last seven years
convinced the flaw was in the nucleus.

Are you expecting anyone?

I doubt a murderer
would ring the doorbell.

Hannah?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Don't you think you're overreacting?

I think you're underreacting.

What do you want?

I know who killed Yake and Lindt.

- Was it you?
- No. It was Isabel Finch.

Who the hell is Isabel Finch?

He's here. Someone's with him.
Let's get this over with.

- How do you know it's him?
- Everyone's body has a specific sound.

Your heartbeat, blood flow, breathing,
skeletal structure...

it's like your own body music.

Sarkov's is oddly upbeat,
like a bossa nova.

Yours sounds like a nursery rhyme.

Yeah, right. Because I'm so young.

Because your harmonics
emphasize overtones five and six.

I think because of this Chupacabra.

I promised you I wouldn't do that.

They're downstairs.

What's the deal with the lights?

Beats me.

Shh.

That's not foreboding.

I've never heard anything
like that before.

Like what?

I don't know, I've never heard it before.

Whose side are you on?

That was fucked.

Do you know what you've done?

Ouch.

Prevented you from killing
another of your victims.

- Unleashed a monster.
- She's not a monster, you are.

Totally won that bet.

Is this your answer
to every problem you have?

Not every one.

Just monsters who could kill
dozens of people if they escaped.

- Like the one you just released.
- It's not our fault.

That "monster" you were just trying
to kill, is her name Zoe?

My mother taught me never
to name my experiments.

Jesus.

You have no sense of humor...

Because there's nothing funny
about what you're doing to people! To us!

- Oh, is that why you've been harassing me?
- No shit.

You saw what I've been up against.
Look at my rug. You got off easy.

You developed hyperacusis.
Is that problematic? Maybe.

Inconvenient? Sure!

So are the opening hours
of this island's only good bar.

And you know what that is?
That is life. This'll do.

My life is a complete nightmare,
and that's all on you.

Maybe so, but at least
you're not killing everyone you meet.

That thing is a threat to herself
and everybody around her,

and it is my responsibility to stop her.

Wait. There might be a less murder-y way
to deal with Zoe.

Sydney really thinks the problem
lies in the extranuclear DNA?

Yeah.

And cells.

How'd you do in Biology?

Solid C.

Minus.

That tracks.

Okay, well, if Sydney's right,

this could solve every problem
with the stem cells.

And for some reason, she wants your help.

All right. I'll talk to her.

As soon as I take down that abomination.

Zoe.

If Dr. Burke is right, you don't
have to kill Zoe, you can fix her.

A lot of dead bodies behind that if.

And until I'm certain,
I am not taking the risk.

You took that risk with us.

Oh, please.

Hyperacusis and blackouts.

You're like a two
on my threat scale, at best.

- Two?
- Threat scale?

She said she was an activist.

She told me how you and Sarkov had
experimented on us without our consent.

Your parents signed release forms.

She told me Yake and Lindt helped Sarkov

perform other illegal experiments
on other humans.

- So you helped her kill two people?
- I didn't help her kill anyone.

What did you do?

I gathered information. That's all.

Is that why you were here the other day?

To gather information on me?

I was supposed to lure Abbi, Tilda,
and Owen away from the house.

She wanted you alone.

When you told me about Yake
I realized why.

To be clear, you did say,
"He's dead" and not "Who's dead?"

- when you learned about Yake.
- I did.

Abbi, focus.

I thought we'd trash some offices,
destroy hard drives, free lab rats.

That's all.

- I believe you.
- I don't.

- I'm calling the police.
- You said you wouldn't call the police.

I'm not the one calling. Just hang on.

You can't call the police.
I promised her we wouldn't.

She just admitted
to being an accomplice to murder.

- This Finch manipulated her.
- We don't know that.

We don't know if Finch exists.

I believe her. Please, she's one of us.

- She needs our help.
- Seattle Police Department.

This is Dr. Sydney Burke
for Detective Ortiz.

Tell the police everything,
just don't say her name.

- This is Ortiz.
- Detective Ortiz, Sydney Burke.

It's come to my attention
someone named Isabel Finch

may be connected to Brian Yake's death.

- How did you get this name?
- Please, no.

It was an anonymous call.

You realize having a threat-ranking
for your victims is seriously fucked?

Actually, it's a necessity.

No matter how much
I tinker with the stem cells,

the results are always kind of flawed.

Luckily, the flaws
are generally innocuous.

For the most part.

- Where is Zoe on your threat scale?
- A high six.

- She looks and acts human, but...
- She is.

With an uncontrollable ability
to absorb ambient electricity

until she randomly discharges it,

which will threaten the safety of others.

- Understand?
- Yes.

You're killing her
because you're a failure.

Tilda.

I have an obligation to ensure
my work doesn't endanger anyone.

- You think you're the hero.
- No, I don't.

Last time I checked,
the hero doesn't murder his victims

in cold blood when he could fix them.

What if Sydney's wrong? Hmm?

Oh, we just leave Zoe
to rampage across the countryside?

How many people does she have to kill
for you to understand

she is a lost cause?

She isn't a lost cause.

Great timing.

Wait.

This is Hank Chinaski's truck.
He looked after the house for me.

He was a decent man.
He didn't deserve this.

I take it he's one of the few people
on the island you could stand?

He's one of the few people on the island
who could stand me.

This is why my failures
need to be destroyed.

To prevent this type of senseless tragedy.

Or you could quit.

- My work is too important.
- Is it?

How do your synthetic stem cells
justify Zoe's death? Or anyone's?

- You wouldn't understand.
- Hmm.

Hey. We need him to come back with us.
Remember?

We also need him to think his experiments
are worth saving. Remember?

He's the only scientist
I can draw from memory.

Mm! This is one of the best coffees
I think I've ever had.

It's the least I can do.

For using your pheromones on Burke.

I didn't.
I just asked her, and she agreed.

Why would she do that for you?

Because we're friends.

Why would you do that for me?

Because Dr. Sarkov experimented
on all of us without our permission.

- I wasn't turned into some sort of...
- Monster.

- I didn't mean it that way...
- We have a saying around here.

"No monster left behind."

You are an honorary member.

- I'm an accessory to murder.
- Even worse, you love Hannah Montana.

- I'm sorry. That is not funny.
- No, it's not.

So, according to the police,
Isabel Finch does not exist.

No driver's license.
No social security number.

- Last chance.
- I'm not making her up.

You have her phone number, right?
Call her.

It's in the house.

Hi, this is Isabel Finch.
After the beep, fuck off.

At the tone, please record your message.

When you have finished, you may hang up
or press 1 to change your message.

Call it again.

You know when you said we don't understand
what you're trying to do?

It's more "couldn't," mister C minus.

Have you ever tried to explain
to someone why you're doing this?

Have you ever tried
to explain quantum mechanics to a cat?

- No. And ouch.
- I'm not trying to insult you.

It just comes naturally?

No, the science is that complicated.

It's the curse of being a prodigy.

I'll always understand the world in a way
regular people could never comprehend.

I don't care about the science. I just...

I just want to understand
why you're doing this.

Okay.

So there is a complex relationship

between the deterioration
of the human genome,

the upcoming climate crisis,

and the exponential increase
of the size of the human herd.

Is "herd" the right term
for a group of humans?

Pro-tip.
If you speak less, you will learn more.

So, in the old days,

human evolution worked in concert
with natural climate change.

But as the climate change is accelerating,
the evolution is stalling out.

So, instead of developing new strengths,
the poor little genome is deteriorating.

Ah!

- And that's AGDS?
- Exactly.

You're trying to prevent us from becoming

the first species
to cause their own extinction?

That's a B minus.

What does your perfect human
look like? You?

Because apparently it's not Zoe. So...?

It's not about looks.
It's about strength, fortitude.

- It's about intelligence. Exactly.
- Adaptability.

Here's the thing.

In 100 years,
98% of life on Earth will be dead.

- Dead?
- Dead.

The other 2%
will want to have you for dinner.

My homo superior will have the foresight
to sense the encroaching danger,

the acumen to prepare for it,
and the craftiness to escape it.

- Sarkov. Where's my daughter?
- There's that fucking doctor!

Ooh. I should have expected this.

We should go. Oh, shit.

- How did she get in your room?
- How did she get in my house?

Okay. You guys hang back.
I'll go in first.

Hopefully I can convince her to surrender
before she gets too excited.

We know you're in here, Finch.

Hannah, call her again.

It's safe.

What's that doing in there?

There... There's something else.

You wanna drop that gun?

Not particularly.

Oh, it was rhetorical.

Okay. Put this down.

Should I like, "rawr"?

You want to end up dead?

Yeah, not really.

I never should've bought here.

Every time someone dies or goes missing
on this godforsaken rock,

it's always my fault.

When people die or go missing,
it is your fault.

But that ends today!

Okay, we've gotta do something now.

Yeah, we really should.

Okay. Okay.

All right, Tilda.
It's okay, we've got this.

Tilda.

Tilda.

The Coventry Award
for Academic Excellence?

Lindt and I fought over this senior year.

It came down to our Proteomics final,
and we tied.

The professor gave him
an extra point for penmanship.

I wanted this plaque so badly.

Not like this though.

Brian Yake and I edited a corn strain
to increase its ethanol output.

When he filed the patent,
he forgot to include me.

- He claimed the patent for himself.
- Mm-hm.

And tried to keep all the money
he made selling it, so I sued him and won.

He would keep a copy of the certificate
that only has his name on it.

These are her trophies.

This is straight up serial killer shit.

She's been in this house multiple times.
You know what that means.

- I should have premium security?
- She could still be here.

We need to search the house.

- She's not.
- We don't know.

That I'm still alive is a good clue.

We should get you to the lab.
It's the safest room in the house.

What I need
is just a few minutes to myself to...

process whatever this is.

I think we should search the grounds.

By all means.

- If you see someone, yell.
- I was planning to.

That's impossible.

Look, I know the guy's a jerk,
but we need him.

Who knows what's going on.
He could be dead.

By the sounds of it, they're chaining
him up to something at the Gas and Bait.

That's at the other side of the island.

How far can you hear now?

Well, depending on the amount of noise,
pretty far.

But if you can hear that,
then you can find Zoe.

And we can prove that she's still alive.

Gosh. You think?

You knew she was here the entire time?
Why didn't you tell me?

I heard that group forming,

and thought Sarkov
could use a taste of his own medicine.

- You let the mob take him?
- Please. It was a gang at best.

- Stay back.
- We're here to help.

We're just like you.

You release bursts of energy
that kill everyone you know?

We're kind of like you.

Because of Sarkov,
I turn into a Chupacabras.

And Tilda is a banshee.

Look, when I realized what I was,
I thought there was no hope.

And now?

Well, there's some hope.

Okay. I got this. Facts, dude?

What Sarkov did to you sucks,
especially because he lied to you.

He told me the side effects
could be severe.

Did he mention anything
about strange abilities?

- Probably not.
- No, he did.

Well, then why would you let him
run all of his tests on you?

He said he was trying to save humanity.
I wanted to help.

That slippery bastard.

He tricked you by telling you the truth.

How was that a trick?

That's not really what matters.
We need to show your mother you're alive.

- Oh, not a chance.
- Where are you going?

We're on an island, you know!

Anything?

Not a sign of her.

- You?
- Nothing.

Maybe she's not here.

That's her. That's Finch.

What do you think she'd do if she saw you?

Since I've been ghosting her,
she might want to kill me.

- Perfect.
- How is that perfect?

Zoe, wait. We only want to help.

- Oh, no.
- We saved your life.

Least you can do is surrender.

This is your fault.
You should've left me alone!

This is reason why
I can't be near my mother.

You need to run.

No. Zoe. Please. Our only hope
of getting fixed dies with Sarkov.

- Fuck.
- Did you not see what just happened?

If I detonate around others,
I could kill them.

- You didn't kill us.
- I sure killed Mr. Chinaski.

That's was not your fault.
It was a secondary explosion.

Caused by me.

It's not your fault.
It's Sarkov's, he did this to you!

It doesn't matter how it happened to me.
It's my responsibility now.

Nothing's gonna happen.

I promise.

- How can you promise that?
- Because.

We're gonna kill the electricity first.

See?

- I was wondering where you'd got to.
- You're too late.

I told Burke everything.
She knows all about you.

Oh, sweetie.
You don't know a thing about me.

I'm gonna fucking kill you.

In a minute.

- Where'd you learn that?
- I was home-schooled.

Let's tie her up and get to the bottom
of her hate for Burke.

I'm not here for Burke.

I'm here for Sarkov.

How do you know he's coming?

That's for me to know
and for you to fuck off.

Ever since you've come here,
this island has been cursed.

What happened to Hank Chinaski
wasn't my fault.

- What did you do to Hank?
- I just said.

Nothing.

This is for my Zoe.

And for Hank.

For everyone else you've ever hurt.

I just feel like no one's listening to me
right now, which is unbelievable.

I should have known
you freaks were on his side.

- Freaks? So small-town.
- Who are you calling small-town?

Everyone, just be cool! All right?
Let's just be cool! It's fine.

Why do you have to
pick a fight with everyone?

He started it.

All right. All right, you can come.

Zoe?

Oh, thank God.

Oh, my baby. Oh, honey.
Oh, my God. Thank God you're okay.

I'm sorry I scared you,
and about Mr. Chinaski.

It's okay. It's okay.
I'm just... I'm so glad you're okay.

Oh, so I'm falsely accused of abduction,
they're ready to kill me.

She confesses to an actual murder
and gets, "No, it's fine."

Yeah, pro-tip. Speak less, live more.

So since your daughter's clearly not dead,

would you mind if we took
the good doctor off your hands?

You can have him.

Where's that power coming from?

The back-up generator, and about time too.

- What did that man do to you?
- I'm sorry!

- What did you do to my daughter?
- She signed a release form.

Secondary explosions.

Juan. Juan.

Zoe, baby, you all right?

- Hey. Hey.
- Hey. Hey yourself.

I'm fine, by the way.

Thanks for asking.

Oh, okay.

Make sure it's tight.
We want you all to feel safe.

Get off.

Oh! Am I about to experience Abbi Singh's
world-famous pheromones?

How do you know about those?

The same way I know
that Juan is a fucking Chupacabra.

And that Tilda's selfish. Am I right?

And that Sarkov is on his way here.

A little Burke told me.

Go.

- She's gone.
- She's gone.

I slipped her out
through the French doors.

Looks like Finch took her
through the French doors.

Where is she?

Oh, my God. I really want to tell you.
I so want to make you happy.

Then tell me.

You have no idea
how much it's killing me not to,

but I think I want to kill Alex more.

Does that make me a bad girl?

Fuck!

Keep an eye on her. I'll look for Burke.

You're getting colder.

Dumbass.

- She's really bad at this.
- Shut up.

Those blackouts have
evolved into a bigger problem.

- I give you a 7.
- Which is why I need your help.

- Can't be much help without my lab.
- You can use Dr. Burke's lab.

And Zoe will have a place to stay
while she waits for your cure.

- Could at least take off the duct tape.
- Yeah.

When we get to Burke's.

Hey!

Seeing as I saved your life...

can we be friends again?

What makes you think we weren't friends?

Your general treatment of me.

Look, it's not that I don't like you.

She's saying she has feelings for you.

Will you shut up?

- I know what she's saying.
- Sure you do, champ.

- We should get going.
- Hey.

I think that...

- you probably won that bet.
- I think so too.

Still gotta know though.

Yesterday at the drive-in,
did you have a gun?

What kind of scientist do you think I am?
Of course I had a gun.

Told you.

- Now you have to go go-karting with me.
- Sweet.

Maybe after, you go to the mall.

And maybe you could start puberty.

It's Abbi.

Hey. We're on our way.

We got Sarkov.

What is it?

- Dr. Burke has been kidnapped.
- Well, what are you waiting for?

Let's go!

Oh.

They're here.

Last chance to make things right.

I'm good. Thanks.

No, you're not.

Do yourself a favor,
tell them what you've done with her.

It's more like what I've done to her.

What did you do to her?

And spoil the surprise?

Alex!

So good to see you again.

- You were in my lab.
- I was. Yeah.

And she was there. And he was there.

- So was she. Hi.
- Where is she?

Relax.

She's safe. For now.

- If you hurt her...
- You'll what?

Give it a passing thought?

- Abandon her again?
- Listen.

She's the closest thing
I have to a family.

She's like a sister to me.
If you've hurt her, so help me.

- You'll what?
- Jesus. God.

Hey.

I think she's having a seizure.

I hope you're right.

Alex?

Sydney?
