0:02

around a character considering suicide.

0:05

If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal

0:08

thoughts, please call the suicide

0:10

and Crisis Lifeline at nine eight eight.

0:12

People love and care for you, and

0:14

there is help available.

0:18

Last time on after Shock

0:20

a party, Hard.

0:21

Past a party, Give

0:24

me a.

0:27

File.

0:30

I'm answering your question, the

0:32

question you asked when we were sailing here.

0:34

You're not going to make me sick.

0:36

You know, I do know that I couldn't kiss

0:38

me.

0:38

I imagine the land itself would prefer you

0:40

to be a charge, not charge.

0:42

You're ang.

0:43

I wish I was an It's

0:45

poison, it's spread.

0:48

I'll show you what they've done. Although

0:50

he is finally coming

0:52

to the surface.

1:09

Over, stop it, put that away, get

1:12

out of my way.

1:12

Can't kill me's a cave him alone, Dover,

1:15

back up.

1:15

You two stayed the back of the boat or so help

1:17

me, God, Caleb, come back.

1:19

Here, Caela, please let me handle this alone.

1:23

You should have left him alone. You

1:25

know what you've done. It's not me that's

1:27

killed it.

1:28

The fucking gun down.

1:29

Every second he's alive, it's a chance for this thing

1:31

spread its Sorry, that couldn't

1:33

matter less.

1:34

Mark for Christ's sake, It'll run its course.

1:36

There's no need to say you trusted them.

1:38

I trusted you to keep this thing from getting

1:41

out of hand.

1:42

You think I want to.

1:43

Put down an unarmed teenager, I

1:46

have to. None of you are making

1:48

decisions to keep the rest of us safe, which

1:50

leaves me.

1:56

What the fuck you fucking hit her?

1:59

What did you just see?

2:00

Tell me what did you just see?

2:03

She tried to spit on you. No, she

2:06

tried to kill me. Son. Wait,

2:13

how did Julian get infected?

2:15

I never found out spring

2:17

water?

2:18

Probably there were still bottles at the Hawaiians

2:20

camp from Kevika's trip to the spring.

2:22

He must have drunk some during the party.

2:24

He was schroaming his judgments on signs of

2:26

being compromised.

2:29

Monu mentally stupid. Yeah,

2:31

that's his thing. Did

2:33

you get blood on your sidearm when you knocked him

2:35

out as he charged you?

2:37

Negative?

2:38

I checked and sanitized the

2:40

weapon to make sure. This

2:42

was when days ago. I'm not infected,

2:45

sir.

2:46

Standard quarantine is ten days.

2:48

You're inside that I am.

2:50

Would you like to take a blood sample to make sure.

2:52

We don't have a test for this thing. Mark, you

2:55

know that you.

2:56

Still haven't told me what this thing is.

2:59

It's not you need to know.

3:00

I've taken more lives than I can count over

3:03

it. Does that make you feel entitled

3:05

to know? You going all

3:07

millennium on me, Mark? Or

3:10

do you already know?

3:12

Yeah? I do.

3:14

Emeric told me one AI the night of the party.

3:20

But wasn't he high as a kite? Emeric?

3:22

He was pretty sober by that point enough

3:25

to work his fency microscope. And I don't

3:27

even know what all equipment.

3:30

He shows you. Yeah, but I

3:33

don't know what I was looking at?

3:34

Okay, so what So it's not a

3:37

virus?

3:37

Oh yes, and no, it's

3:40

a mutated form of DDT.

3:43

They don't use that anymore. But you know, when

3:45

my mom was growing up, it was like everywhere.

3:48

They used to spread it behind the trucks and kids

3:50

would play.

3:51

In the midst of it. But what is

3:53

it?

3:54

DDT turns out to be some

3:56

crazy toxic pesticide

3:59

that causes cancer and

4:01

all kinds of bad stuff. Thousands

4:04

of barrels were dumped illegally

4:07

like the fifties all the way to the

4:09

eighties, right here off the coast

4:11

of La Emeric recognized

4:13

some of the chemical

4:16

structure or something.

4:17

It was way over my head.

4:19

But his guess is where

4:21

he used the word hypothesis.

4:25

Anyway, he thinks that

4:27

those barrels have been leaking and

4:29

mixing with the DNA of viruses

4:31

that live on fish and coral,

4:34

mixing and mutating.

4:36

And now we

4:39

got this.

4:40

But why hasn't it shown

4:42

up until now? I mean, the barrels have been

4:44

in the ocean for so long.

4:46

Again, Emeric has a theory.

4:48

He kept saying he needs to do all kinds of testing before

4:50

he can be sure.

4:51

But his guess is.

4:53

That the DDT virus hybrid

4:55

thing cannot live that

4:57

long in sea water, the

5:00

fresh water in the spring.

5:02

It's thriving over there.

5:05

Holy shit.

5:07

But if there's thousands of barrels.

5:11

He Auntie tech comp there's

5:14

something on the radio.

5:15

You should hear what right now?

5:17

Yeah, right now?

5:18

Check com.

5:24

Oh, well, have a panele of legal scholars

5:26

to discuss the ramifications. But today,

5:28

if you heard Professor Martindale's assessment,

5:31

this could have implications for indigenous

5:33

land planes worldwide.

5:35

What is she talking about?

5:36

Your video?

5:38

Somebody posted it on YouTube and it's

5:40

everywhere.

5:41

Why God, Shasta took it down not

5:43

fast enough.

5:44

In fact, I'm just hearing that the Governor of

5:47

California is going to address the issue at

5:49

tomorrow morning's press conference in Sacramento.

5:52

Governor Roade scheduled the addressed amid

5:54

speculation that she's ready to lift

5:56

martial law and act as the day of the earthquake.

5:58

But it looks like she's going to make some remarks

6:01

on this issue too, which makes sense

6:03

given the New Island would likely fall under

6:05

her jurisdiction, or would have before.

6:07

The video flea from Leila Hua Masters

6:10

spread like wildfire around the world.

6:13

Responses have been posted by several indigenous

6:15

leaders pledging their support, and a delegation

6:18

of Luiseno and Chumash leaders

6:20

is finding a trip to the new island, which

6:22

currently doesn't have a name. We'll

6:25

leave you with a cliff of the flea that has taken

6:27

the world by storm.

6:30

Alo Han, my name

6:32

is Minna Hua Masters, and

6:34

I am speaking to you from the New Island

6:36

off the coast of Los Angeles. I

6:40

arrived here days after an emergency, and

6:42

I planted the flag of the Hawaiian nation.

6:45

But one of my.

6:46

Eldest counseled meets that

6:48

this place belongs.

6:49

To the first peoples of the men. You can

6:51

see from here. We have a

6:54

settlements here of Kanaka o ev what

6:57

you.

6:57

Call Hawaiians, and we will

6:59

hold this man for your your life.

7:03

Oh my god, you did it, le did

7:05

it big bra.

7:07

They said there was.

7:07

A march in support of native control of

7:09

the island in South Dakota, a

7:12

whole speech from an elder in out there a

7:14

ROAs. Even the Prime Minister of

7:18

what was it, oh Finland said

7:20

she would consider diplomatic relations if

7:22

the proper leadership was established.

7:25

Oh my god, what

7:27

do we do?

7:29

We wait for the delegation and

7:31

we welcome them to their land.

7:35

I mean about Emeric, what

7:37

do we do when he finds out.

7:42

He's gonna flip? I mean like flip.

7:45

That's just right?

7:46

And can you blame him?

7:47

Cassie lied to us.

7:49

You played on Shasta's kindness and manipulated

7:51

Davis.

7:52

That's not what this is about right now, but it's.

7:54

All that will matter to him. And listen,

7:56

the party was awesome, But can you blame.

7:58

Him on top of it?

7:59

Oh?

7:59

You said, vitaged our WiFi.

8:01

Is there anything that we can do to get his help?

8:04

Could get the Hawaiians to give up on the Island's

8:07

all he wants.

8:08

But that's all he wants. You

8:10

asked, this is about

8:12

a young man who's dying of

8:15

stupidity.

8:17

He deliberately exposed himself to

8:19

a fatal contagion. Emrick's

8:21

going to say, there's no moral imperative to remedy

8:24

someone else's recklessness.

8:26

It's a doctrine of consequences.

8:28

And it's ugly, isn't it. Emeric

8:32

gave me a moment, Cassie. I'm processing

8:34

differently today, and I'm having

8:36

strong feelings of anger and betrayal

8:39

towards you. But I'm

8:43

a word that I initiated relationships

8:45

with the Hawaiians on terms that were

8:49

ugly, and their efforts

8:51

aligned with that ethos.

8:54

I apologize for being duplicitous.

8:56

You're not the only one.

8:58

Yeah, I took lace video, Dan, As you

9:00

know, there's science, and.

9:01

You didn't tell me about it because you were confident

9:04

I would be angry, and you're right. I

9:06

am angry. But there is

9:08

more than I to consider.

9:11

There's Julian. Is there

9:13

anything you could do to save him?

9:16

Saving him

9:18

but not ease his pain and debt? Are you're

9:21

not here for more pills?

9:22

Did you send people to space? Your

9:24

biolabs are cracking genetic diseases.

9:27

Even if you don't care about Julian, Is

9:29

there any way to convince you that as a scientist,

9:32

this is worth trying. You'd be

9:34

the first it could save that.

9:36

I know all that. Thank you,

9:38

honestly, Cassie. What

9:41

you're asking, it's

9:43

it's a different conversation altogether.

9:45

It is.

9:47

Well, it would involve

9:50

a human trial, which I am

9:52

told makes me a monster.

9:56

This one would be with the person's knowledge

9:59

and consent. And I'm sorry

10:01

that I called you a monster.

10:03

Well, thank you. Listen.

10:06

I'm not sure there's anything

10:08

we can do for young Julian.

10:11

There may be.

10:13

Well if sorry,

10:16

no, no, speak up, shester.

10:18

I mean, I'm just the You

10:20

have an idea, there.

10:20

Are no bad ideas.

10:23

Fine, okay, what about treating

10:25

him for DDT poisoning. You

10:28

know most of the molecular structure seems derived

10:30

from the synthetic chemical compounds, right.

10:32

So that's a good idea, Thank you.

10:34

Really, that won't work. You

10:36

haven't studied enough of the structure of mutation

10:39

yet, and you can't treat this like we

10:41

would a chemical poisoning. It's more

10:43

complex for a range of reasons.

10:47

On the other hand,

10:50

want a clonal antibody, that's.

10:52

An interesting idea.

10:54

We could side step some of the.

10:57

Yeah, and let the body do the work.

11:00

It might be a time sensitive treatment.

11:02

Monoclonal antibodies.

11:04

Yeah, it's when we take naturally occurring antibodies

11:06

in one person's blood and clone them in.

11:08

The lab, and then we deliver those

11:10

cloned antibodies into the system of someone

11:12

else who's infected.

11:13

Yeah, it gives their body the tools to fight

11:15

and hopefully survive.

11:18

How long since Julian was infected? There

11:21

was it? Less than twelve hours?

11:22

Oh for sure. Yes, we need

11:24

a.

11:24

Sample of blood from someone who's been

11:26

infected and recovered.

11:29

We don't have that because no one

11:31

survives.

11:32

It isn't your friend, michaelam.

11:35

She is or she was

11:37

over a month ago without work.

11:40

I don't know, but it's the one way

11:42

to find out.

11:43

Is the WiFi working. Yep, I'll fixed

11:45

Davis, get Cassie what she needs

11:47

to take a sample while she collects it. We have

11:50

research to do, for sure. She

11:52

has to get the lab up on the SAT phone.

11:55

Yep, George, thank you.

11:57

Cassie This is the longest

11:59

of longest.

12:00

Please you go into this believing Julian

12:02

is going to die.

12:17

It's over.

12:19

Is Mikaela awake?

12:20

I gave you two hours. You're pushing it.

12:23

It's forty minutes each way.

12:25

Cassie, you're almost out of time.

12:27

Is she awake?

12:29

She must be. I heard him talking an hour

12:31

or so ago.

12:32

Nothing since.

12:33

No, just coughing, getting

12:36

worse, like

12:38

maybe he's not speaking to her after what she's

12:41

done to him.

12:42

I have a hail, Mary

12:44

and Mark's gonna try generating monoclonal

12:47

antibodies from Mikayla's blood

12:49

to try to give Julian's immune system help

12:51

fighting this off.

12:53

All right, someone would have to take her blood, right,

12:55

and then someone would have to administer the antibodies

12:58

into his I will do it.

13:00

If I get infected, you shoot me. I get

13:02

that. But they've given me full ppe,

13:04

including masks and gloves, and I'll burn it

13:07

all when I'm done.

13:08

Do they think it'll work?

13:10

No, But it's important to

13:12

show her, to show everyone that

13:15

we tried, right, that we

13:17

don't we don't.

13:17

We don't kill people preventatively,

13:21

that's right.

13:23

I was following orders containing

13:26

the chilling wars crew, whoever.

13:28

Gave you those orders, whatever,

13:31

I'm sorry, that's not for me to say. Can

13:33

you give me a little more time? Please?

13:36

The orders I was given that I'm still expected

13:38

to follow mean putting her down to

13:41

I know you've

13:44

been trying to buy her time, and I have been

13:46

doing everything I can to give it to you.

13:48

But think about this last night at the party,

13:50

she could have infected emeric easy

13:53

is spitting into a drink and handing it to him.

13:55

He was tripping. You'd never have thought twice and then boom.

13:58

She and Ley have their safe paradise. Yes, but

14:01

she didn't do that. Teenagers

14:04

think they're invincible.

14:04

They fucked up.

14:05

They won't do it again. Remember

14:07

being their age.

14:08

I enlisted at their age.

14:11

Okay, not all kids are alike, but

14:13

I was.

14:14

Honored to serve.

14:16

I believed in the Navy were

14:19

up as soon as I was allowed. I

14:22

I loved being a seal. In

14:26

Milawi, we were we were given

14:28

orders to secure facility. The Navy

14:30

had lost control of a

14:32

lab providing medical treatment. The

14:36

country lacked the infrastructure to contain an

14:38

outbreak that had erupted. There some

14:41

new virus, and we were told the naval

14:43

facility had been overrun by

14:45

locals desperate for care.

14:48

That's that's not what

14:50

we found.

14:53

The containment protocols were insufficient

14:57

and received orders to terminate anyone

14:59

involved with the facility.

15:00

It was.

15:02

Goddamn it.

15:03

It was the first time that I I didn't

15:05

wanna follow a direct order.

15:09

But you did.

15:11

I did, and

15:14

the next day UH an extraction team

15:16

game. They were guys for another branch, black op

15:18

guys, and

15:20

they left with the cooler of lab samples.

15:24

I don't understand.

15:26

They were never trying to eradicate the virus.

15:30

They were trying to control it to

15:32

make sure they were the only ones that had.

15:34

It, like for biological

15:36

warfare.

15:38

I mean, I'll

15:40

never know for sure, but yeah,

15:43

that was my guess. We

15:46

weren't sent in to save anyone. We

15:49

were sent in to give the DoD a web and they

15:51

could kill large populations, a

15:55

silent war that wouldn't look like a

15:57

war.

15:58

So when you blew up the worse.

16:01

It was the second time I'd been ordered

16:03

to contain on that scale,

16:07

only this time I was personally to

16:09

deliver the sample to the lab.

16:12

Wayne.

16:13

But you took those lives thinking they were doomed

16:16

no matter what. And

16:18

if a monoclonal antibody treatment

16:20

works, then.

16:24

Well I'm worried a ship full of reservist

16:27

did they could have been saved.

16:31

You didn't know that at the time. You

16:33

were acting for the greatest good, for the greatest

16:35

number.

16:36

Maybe, or maybe

16:39

if I'd let them live, we'd

16:41

have worked as hard on a cure as we did on

16:43

containment.

16:46

Let me start with Julian, one

16:49

kid, one life. Let's

16:51

not make this about anything else.

16:54

Yeah, sure, be

16:57

quick, man, careful

17:01

for.

17:01

Sure, MICHAELA,

17:11

Julian, Can you guys come out here for a second.

17:21

Gussie, hey,

17:23

sweetheart, how you feeling.

17:27

Like the mats at the bottom of the eighth against

17:29

the Yankees? That

17:32

bad?

17:34

Have you taken any of the tail and all from the medical

17:36

kit?

17:37

Yeah?

17:38

Yeah, half the bottle.

17:40

I think the fever is still climbing though I

17:42

fell asleep.

17:43

Okay, well, listen,

17:45

there's a treatment that we want to try. Hang

17:49

in there all right, as long as you can. And

17:51

can you grab Mikaela for me? We need her?

17:55

Okay, Kayla,

18:10

she's not here.

18:12

What'd you say?

18:13

Mikayla's not here?

18:15

Are you sure now?

18:17

Man?

18:17

She's gone?

18:23

You told me Michaela isn't infected. Who

18:25

cares if she would a wall? I told you she

18:27

wasn't currently a threat. Oh

18:29

so you did adhere to Malawi? She's

18:32

contained. What are you doing here? I beg

18:34

your pardon. The Vice Admiral chase of civilian

18:36

to Catalina and is right now

18:38

interrogating a subordinate officer.

18:41

Oh, this was supposed to be just a conversation.

18:43

Instead of attending to the disaster in Southland.

18:46

You have every cel in Coronado under your

18:48

command, not to mention, hundreds of capable

18:50

of.

18:51

Any people left who trust you, Mark, I

18:54

thought bringing you in would give you an opportunity.

18:56

No, that's why you sent me

18:58

to the chilling Worth to be your scapegoat again.

19:01

But that's not why you're sitting here right

19:03

now.

19:03

Is it all right?

19:07

I'm going to give you some time to think about.

19:09

What you're not done.

19:11

I'm not done, sir, sir?

19:14

What are you doing here right

19:17

now? It sounds like you think you know

19:20

the answer already.

19:21

I want to hear you say it. This is

19:23

why you're stuck a captain, Mark. You

19:25

just can't leave a thing alone. Gotta

19:28

speak truth to power. Huh, tell

19:30

us all how it is.

19:32

All those people Travis in Malawi

19:34

on the Chillingworth There was supposed to be

19:36

a greater good.

19:37

I'm not debating the ethics of my orders with a.

19:40

Capti're just after another way to kill people.

19:42

You're just the guy in the gun store who

19:44

wants a bigger magazine, just in

19:46

Chase.

19:47

Where's it gonna end? Hey, Mark, It's

19:50

gonna end badly for you. You're

19:52

off your rocker. I'm going

19:54

to give you one shot to get out of a court martial

19:56

that ends your days in prison. One

20:00

me. I'm going to ask you

20:02

a simple question and you are going

20:04

to tell me the answer. But

20:07

we're done here. Do you understand?

20:11

I wish I didn't, sir?

20:14

Where is Cassie Wallace?

20:23

Mackaila Makaela?

20:30

I should have thought to come here first. He

20:32

went all over the fucking island.

20:34

Stay there, don't come any closer?

20:36

What? Why? Who do you

20:38

don't try to stop me?

20:40

Are you?

20:42

Did you come out here? Are you serious?

20:47

His body isn't there anymore?

20:49

Who's Joe?

20:52

That's his name, right? The guy you and Wayne

20:54

tried to save along with me. You

20:58

landed on those rocks down there. I

21:01

guess Tie I need a sample

21:03

of your blood.

21:05

Why what for? Emeric

21:07

has an idea that might save Julian. Really,

21:10

it's not likely to work, but we're

21:12

gonna try, and it starts with your blood.

21:15

They made it just in time. Great, I

21:18

can take it, or I can talk you through it.

21:20

Did you hear me? I did?

21:23

Do you want me to do it? Or can you manage

21:26

to decide?

21:26

Now?

21:26

Please?

21:27

Time is of the essence.

21:29

I don't know how to do it.

21:30

I'll do it then. Just be careful, I

21:32

know, don't you dare?

21:35

Look at me?

21:37

Be careful? I

21:40

will.

21:44

All right.

21:44

Straighten your right arm.

21:46

You afraid of needles?

21:47

No good?

21:48

Hold still, I need three vials.

21:53

There's a chance it could work, not that you'll know. One

21:55

way or another. You'll feel the pinch. Cassie,

21:59

you're gonna throw your off a cliff when I leave. What

22:01

the rest of us do to clean up your messes not your concern.

22:04

I guess it's

22:06

everything that I was trying to avoid e.

22:10

I killed him, Gussie, be.

22:12

Still unless you want to kill me too.

22:16

I don't know what to do, sweetheart.

22:21

I don't have advice for you.

22:23

You know full well.

22:24

I don't want you to end your life, and that your mother would rather

22:26

die than lose you. If

22:29

knowing all that, you want to hurt more

22:31

people by hurting yourself. There's

22:34

nothing I can say to.

22:35

Change your mind.

22:37

I'm a danger to everyone

22:39

alive.

22:41

Like Kayla, I have

22:43

sympathy for the position that you're in, But right

22:45

now my only concern is

22:47

Julian. Before you

22:50

do anything, please think

22:52

about him. Let's say this treatment

22:54

works and he survives, only to find

22:56

that you're no longer alive. Please

22:59

think about it.

23:00

Back for a moment.

23:06

I have to leave you to it.

23:29

Hey, Hey, g I, Joe,

23:31

Hey, let's see you.

23:32

I have a question for you about it.

23:34

I need to use your radio.

23:36

Oh sorry, no, our

23:38

comms are strictly before I.

23:40

Take it there in the yurt with the antenna.

23:42

Hey, can you slow down.

23:44

I've been told that Shasta I am

23:46

commandeering your equipment.

23:48

Oh yeah, you can't do that.

23:49

I sure, Cat Okay, yeah, George,

23:52

Yeah, I need you.

23:55

What's going on?

23:56

Us Navy is commandeering your comms effective?

23:59

Immediately?

23:59

I tried to stop it.

24:01

He has every expectation that this is

24:03

a reasonable action. Dover it.

24:06

Comms ten is this way? I'm

24:08

going to show you something for us, just

24:11

that you can get back to the lab. Thanks for

24:13

your hell.

24:16

You put your comments beside the Jenny.

24:19

That makes it difficult for anyone to eavesdrop.

24:21

If you're not standing beside me, you can't hear

24:24

anything I'm saying.

24:25

You take your security seriously.

24:30

Here you are assume

24:32

you know what it is, but feel free to give

24:34

it a careful read. The parts that are

24:37

classified have been redacted, so you don't

24:39

need to worry.

24:41

Your security clearance is higher than mine.

24:44

My research is sensitive. The

24:47

Defense Department generally as on the

24:49

side of caution.

24:51

Can you tell me what you're doing here?

24:53

And I think that the DoD my

24:55

own curiosity. That's

24:57

the honest truth. Even once you've found out about

24:59

the bi that's not really a virus.

25:02

Well, yes, that piqued my personal

25:04

interest and also my business

25:06

sense. I'm ashamed to say that

25:08

the pills I gave Kavika are probably

25:10

going to make me a fortune another fortune.

25:13

My assumption was that there would be a wave

25:15

of deaths and that I would continue my unofficial

25:19

research into their efficiency.

25:21

Right, and if you told the Doddys

25:24

show up and contain the outbreak, and you'd

25:26

have no subjects for your human trials.

25:28

Correct, I will say in my

25:31

defense, I had a

25:33

change of heart. I am truly

25:35

trying to save young Julian. He

25:37

cared for me for the first hour or so of my psilocybin

25:40

adventure, and I feel quite

25:43

beholden.

25:44

And if you can cure him, well,

25:46

yes, I.

25:47

Will patent a very profitable

25:49

treatment.

25:51

This is how you make a billion dollars?

25:53

Or did you think wealth was accumulated through compassion?

25:58

But then Malawi wasn't precisely

26:00

compassionates? Ether was it? Would

26:04

you just say Malawi a

26:06

wholesale execution in the name

26:08

of containment, one that shares

26:11

many characteristics with the Chillingworth

26:13

disaster, if you'll

26:15

forgive me mentioning it.

26:17

What do you know about Malawi with.

26:19

My security clearance? More

26:22

than I can tell you.

26:24

Did those samples go to your land? I

26:27

tried to track them down for years, never found

26:29

them. Started to think they

26:31

were farmed out to civilian contractors.

26:34

Captain Dove, you're a smart man. Think

26:36

about it. I operate in space.

26:38

Uh to space? Do you imagine

26:40

rights to that kind of work are granted with our quid

26:43

pro quo? My work for the

26:45

DoD isn't the passion. It's

26:47

what Shaster would call my side hustle,

26:49

weaponizing sickness, curing

26:52

it so that when there's a war

26:54

and it's used against us, we survive.

26:56

But if we eradicated, it can't be used

26:58

against us. We could have wiped them. Allow we virus

27:00

off the face of the earth.

27:02

No, maybe, unless one person got

27:04

away or jumped to an animal nearby,

27:06

and by the time we find out it's too late. Having

27:09

a cure mean security

27:11

for our nation. You know, sleeping

27:13

better at.

27:14

Night, you sleep well at night.

27:17

I don't I work.

27:21

I'll send Shasta back to your boat with you

27:23

to restore your comps.

27:24

We don't have access to the seabird right now.

27:26

Julie is quarantined there. Oh yes,

27:29

of course. Well we

27:31

we should have his treatment ready in a couple

27:33

of hours and we'll bring it right over.

27:35

You left him alone, No, I guess

27:37

he's there.

27:38

She'll hold the quarantine. You

27:41

sure I trust her? Why

27:45

she was.

27:45

Walking down the beach

27:48

half an hour ago, towards the sea, King,

27:51

what, Cassie,

27:54

She's not where you think she is.

28:00

She ran on you, just like she ran on you

28:03

she did, Which is the answer

28:06

to your insubordinate question. You're

28:08

here for Cassie. She escaped

28:11

from a military interrogation, one

28:13

in which she deliberately misdirected and

28:15

lie to both myself and another

28:17

officer. That's a crime, and

28:21

it's only the tip of the iceberg.

28:23

No, you're here for

28:25

the spring, the virus hybrid,

28:27

just like Malawi.

28:29

You sound like a Facebook conspiracy theorist

28:31

looking for facts to fit your outrage. You're

28:33

convinced you're the one being escapegoarded

28:35

for this chilling Worth thing. But there's a

28:38

civilian at large who links all these

28:40

events together. The bodies on the island,

28:42

the bodies at Chillingworth, the bodies at Catalina.

28:46

We get our hands on Cassandra Wallace, and

28:48

we both walk away from this looking like

28:50

heroes. If you're so

28:53

disgusted with the Navy, put this behind

28:55

you and retire. But

28:58

in order to stay out of a navy, you

29:01

have to help me find Cassie first.
