Moira?
Seriously? She stole my bag too.
It's confirmed, Bobby.
The employee who started the fire took the antiviral with her.
- She smuggled it out in her tumbler. - My tumbler.
She's got about a 90-minute head start on us.
What's the mortality rate on this thing?
Standard strain of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.
Mortality rate: 30%.
And death usually comes within two weeks of the illness.
But this isn't a standard strain.
No, we're very likely dealing with a super strain.
So we're not talking about weeks.
We might not even be talking days. It could be hours.
Okay, so we have to do something.
What's the normal treatment, and we'll double it.
There is no treatment. That was the whole point of our research.
We were trying to come up with one.
Which it looks like Moira Blake did,
and then walked out the door with the one and only dose.
Ask how long it would take to make a new dose.
Even if we had a functioning lab, it would take weeks to replicate.
Time we don't have.
- What's the plan here, Colonel? - The plan?
I have two firefighters down in here.
One who's been exposed to a deadly pathogen.
The other has a tube in her chest.
So what's the damn plan?
We're exploring our options, Captain.
Who the hell is that?
Special Agent Mark Santos, FBI.
FBI?
The breach of a tier-4 biolab is a national security concern.
I'll be running the investigation and response from here on out.
Good, 'cause this guy's worthless.
- Tell him to open the damn door. - Nobody's opening anything.
We can't break the quarantine.
Not until we know exactly what we're dealing with.
We already know what we're dealing with. CCHF.
That's what it started out as,
but we still don't know how virulent this strain is.
But you're about to find out, aren't you?
Because my people in here are now lab rats.
I urge you not to look at it that way, Captain.
Once we apprehend Dr. Blake, and we will,
we're covering airports, train stations, bus routes.
Even if she's gone to ground, we'll find her.
Once she's in custody,
I am confident the military can safely resume extraction.
You mean "retrieval."
Because by the time you go in there, you'll be pulling out bodies.
We are not leaving them. No way.
Buck. Stop.
Buck, listen to Athena,
and you let the FBI and military do their job.
No, Cap... Come on.
Buck, that's an order.
Athena, you can't be here.
What?
It's too personal.
You know how you get when things get personal.
Listen to me.
The military and the FBI have more man power and more resources.
They are on this,
and they are going to find this woman and soon.
We need to hang up and go now.
I understand.
I love you, baby.
I love you too.
Hey, hey, so that's it? We're just gonna walk away.
Actually, we're gonna drive away.
You really think they're gonna find her in time?
God, I hope not.
Okay, I'm confused.
You heard him.
Even if they find Moira Blake and she's still got the antiviral,
there is no way in hell they're gonna give it to Chimney.
He's expendable. They all are.
So what do we do?
Exactly what Bobby asked us to do.
We're gonna find that crazy bitch
and get our hands on the dose before anyone else in there gets sick.
Get in.
Okay, getting in.

Hello?
Officer Williams.
Sergeant Grant?
- Are you on patrol? - About to be.
- Just got out of shift briefing. - Good.
Then you're aware of the BOLO for Moira Blake.
Yeah, very aware.
I'm on my way to her home address now, but I need a favor.
Whatever you need.
If there's a hit on her car, I want to be first to hear about it.
In fact, I want you out there looking for it.
You got it.
And, Sergeant,
everybody down here, we're pulling for your husband and his team.
Thanks, Williams.
Okay, Maddie, let's start with this virus.
What can we expect? What are the progressions?
First phase is fever, headache, fatigue.
Okay, what's the second phase?
Looks like he's already in the second phase.
Starts with mucosal bleeding,
leads to multi-organ bleeding,
and last...
organ failure.
So there's no phase number three?
- No. - So...
we figure out how to slow down phase number two.
How?
Everybody keeps saying there's no treatment,
but we've got to find a way to at least buy Chimney some more time.
For hemorrhagic fevers, it's all about supportive care.
- Fluids, pain management. - You're gonna need saline.
A lot of it. Two to five liters per 24 hours.
How much do you have?
Got plenty in the rig.
- But down here, one. - That won't be enough.
Well, if we don't have it, maybe we can make it.
What are you thinking?
We're trapped in a giant chemistry set.
Damn. That FBI guy works fast.
Yeah, they usually do.
Whoa, hey, y-you're going inside?
I'm just another LAPD officer assisting
in the service of a federal warrant.
Nice. Smart. Okay, great. What am I?
You're a man waiting in the car.
Over here and over here if you look. Get out of here.
That's not my job, it's yours, so look again.
Turn it inside out if you have to.
No entry. ERT still got the scene.
They said you needed a hand.
Oh, they usually send me rookies for that.
No one should ever feel like they outrank lending someone a hand.
I heard it was some kind of manhunt.
Any signs of life in there?
Nah. If you ask me, no one's been home in days.
Now that's disappointing. All this circus and no clowns to be found.
Yeah, well, the good news is that the place is as neat as a pin.
We already shot photos.
We should be in and out unless they start pulling down walls.
Where do you want this?
Oh. There is great.
That's it? We're leaving?
Yep.
- Got everything we need. - You didn't even go inside.
I didn't need to.
Someone already documented the scene for me.
- What is that? - Memory card from the CSI's camera.
You stole the crime scene for us.
Don't worry. They can make more.
All the mad scientist items as requested.
What else do you need?
Sodium chloride, non-iodized salt.
They use it for cell cultures.
On it.
All right, let's check that med kit, see what we got.
Looks like three rolls of gauze, some trauma dressings.
Not much starching power. What about vasopressors?
I couldn't find any in here or in the pharmacy boxes on the rig.
Sodium chloride.
Okay.
I guess we're ready to DIY some saline.
Hen, if you don't get the ratio perfect, it could stop his heart.
Ravi, look around for a defibrillator just in case.
In a place like this, they got to have an AED mounted somewhere.
- All right. - Maddie,
you'll help me with the math here?
Normal saline is .9%. That's nine grams of salt per liter.
All right, Cap, measure exactly nine grams,
and then boil a liter of water,
bring it to a simmer, and then pour the salt in.
I think I can follow that recipe.
Found the defibrillator.
All right. Excellent, Ravi. Bring it over here.
- That part's gonna be tough. - Why?
It's on the other side of the...
- Ravi! - No!
Ravi!
I know. It's a lot to take in.
Yeah, but Hen's okay. Chest tube aside.
She's locked in a tier-4 lab with a novel virus and no cure.
That doesn't sound okay.
- And Chimney? - They're gonna keep him comfortable
while we try to find the woman who made the antiviral treatment.
What do you know about her?
This is everything we've got.
- What is this? - Crime scene photos.
Forensic photos of her home from the search.
Athena stole them from the police.
I am the police.
I transferred custody.
We're hoping that you might have something around here
that could let us take a look at what's on there.
You-You said there's only one dose of the antiviral?
Yeah, she used the other one on a rat.
I guess we need to thank God that only one of them is sick.
Cap, is he breathing?
He's not.
I got a pulse.
No sign of the virus.
He's not getting any oxygen.
His bottle is empty.
Hen, check your gauge.
I'm at five psi.
I'm at ten.
Cap, he's got three minutes before brain damage.
I have an idea.
The pressure suits' air supply lines run
through parallel compressors on level two.
They provide a constant stream of filtered air.
One problem, I don't know if the hose coupling will match his tank.
I'll make it work.
Come on.
Hang on, Rav. Air coming to you.
Come on. Come on.
Come on, Ravi.
Come on, Ravi. Come on, kid, come on.
Ravi! Oh, yeah!
There you go.
Welcome back.
Stay here, Ravi.
Okay, Hen. It's your turn.
Was I sleeping?
Yeah, and stealing my thunder.
I started to pass out. I thought for a minute...
So did we.
I don't know what we'd have done if I picked it up too.
We would have figured it out.
It's what we do.
Well, for crime scene photos, it doesn't
look like much of a crime scene.
More like an IKEA catalog.
Well, she really lives at the lab,
and the house is just to take a shower and change clothes
and occasionally order takeout.
It's a lonely way to live.
Well, maybe not. I'm guessing people don't interest her.
But germs do?
Mm, everybody's got a thing.
Yeah, well, I wish we could figure out Moira's.
Then maybe we'd know where she's going.
Williams, tell me you found something.
I tracked down Moira Blake's car.
Her car.
- Where is it? - Right next to me.
In the parking lot of SoCal Tech Biomed.
So she never left the lab.
Well, we know she stole the ID badge of one of her colleagues.
She stole the tumbler and the handbag of another.
Maybe that's not the only thing she stole.
Williams, look around and see if you see
any empty parking spots nearby.
Uh...
Yeah. One two spots down. Belongs to a R. McLeod.
- That's Ross. - You did great, Williams.
See if you can find the car that belongs to that spot.
We think our suspect might be in it.
All right, Sergeant, I'll let you know what I come up with.
Uh, guys, I think I've got something.
Photos on her wall.
What is that? Tween Moira?
Look who else is up there.
That's Samantha Blum, pioneer for RNA research.
That is Alexander Fleming, penicillin.
Jacques Durand, peptide synthesis.
All scientists.
Not just scientists. They're all Nobel laureates.
They're like the rock stars of science.
Wall of fame.
And Moira wants to be one of them.
You don't win a Nobel Prize for starting a pandemic.
Yeah, but you might get it for stopping one.
Now, I don't know science, but I do know arson.
Some people, they want to burn down the world,
but sometimes they do that so they can be the ones to put it out.
She's got a savior complex.
Where would you go if you had the next big cure?
Well, you wouldn't give it to the government.
Well, you wouldn't give it to anyone.
You'd sell it.
What if I told you,
you could save the world and make a billion dollars doing it?
I'd say, say more.
This is CCHFVQ3.
CCHF?
That shows up in 10,000, maybe 15,000 patients a year.
Not exactly a blockbuster revenue stream.
Did I mention this antiviral was developed
as a cure for a super strain?
Incubation period of 90 minutes.
Highly contagious.
And without a dose of this, lethal.
Super strain of CCHF. Nobody has that.
No.
But they're about to.
- 104.5 degrees. - Still too hot.
It's gotta be under 98 before we can give it to him.
Good thing we're not going anywhere.
You doing okay?
I know the risks of the job.
You know, every time you leave for work,
there's a chance you might not come home.
But now I'm wondering, at what point do I call?
You have to ask yourself what you're looking for.
If you need to hear the sound of their voice, that's for you.
But know that it'll... it'll change things for them.
If you make it out of here, it'll be harder for them
each time they have to watch you leave.
Hey.
No sleeping on the job so I don't have to write you up.
I'm not gonna lie, Cap.
A suspension sounds kind of appealing to me right now.
Nah, you're gonna want those days off for the baby.
You know it's a boy, right?
You're having a son. Congratulations, Chim.
You know, all the moms keep telling me that a boy is easier.
All the dads keep saying that a boy is harder.
What do you think? I know you had one of each.
I'm sorry, Bobby, I didn't mean to bring that up.
Chim, it's all right. I'm happy to talk about my kids.
You know, I hated my dad so much for leaving.
And now I'm about to do the same thing.
Chim...
you're not the same.
And you're not going anywhere, Chim.
Come on, Cap.
This thing is moving fast, and I'm running out of time.
So I need you to listen to me, please.
Maddie's gonna want to shoulder it all.
She's gonna tell everybody she's fine.
Everyone is gonna believe her 'cause she's Maddie.
But not you, okay?
And you're not gonna leave her alone.
'Cause her and the kids...
they are the best thing I've ever done.
So I need you to promise me that
you're gonna take care of them, okay, Cap?
Chim, I promise you I am not gonna let
anything bad happen to your family.
Okay, good. Good.
I think this is the first time I found a stolen car
before anyone's reported it stolen.
The parking attendant says it's been here less than an hour.
I don't suppose he saw which way she went after she parked.
He was slammed. Yogalates class down the street just let out.
Any clues inside?
Just a pack of mints and some tissue with lipstick on 'em.
She was blotting,
which means she was worried about her appearance.
Buck, can you pull up that list of Big Pharma addresses?
I don't think we need it.
Hey, Maddie.
I got somebody here who wants to talk to you.
Hi.
It's good to see your face.
Yeah, I think this is a good look for me.
How's work going?
You know, the usual.
Yeah, same here. I think I might pass out from boredom.
Hey, listen, Maddie.
I want you to keep Chimney awake for me
while I go check on that saline.
Yeah. I'll try, but you know how stubborn he can be.
Hey.
No picking on the sick guy.
Oh, God. Oh.
Chim?
Chim, what is happening?
Oh, God. Oh, God. Bobby.
Chim! Chim!
- Chim! - Oh, God.
- Ravi, we need gauze. - Uh...
We're out of gauze!
Bring me a towel, Ravi. Anything. Now!
Let's go.
Chim, just stay calm, buddy.
Grab the triangle bandage. Cut it up.
You really can't bleed out through your nose, can you?
You can.
- Cap. Here you go. - Yeah. Thanks.
Here, Chim.
Hold that up to your nose, okay?
Oh, God.
Okay. Hold it in there.
I'm surprised she got by security.
Never underestimate crazy.
Hi, excuse me. We're looking for Moira Blake, 5' 9", redhead.
Probable psychopath.
You got here fast. She's in the conference room.
Walked in off the street. Just had a pitch meeting. Which, red flag.
What do you mean we got here fast?
I just called five minutes ago.
Who did you call?
911.
Show me.
You stay here. Watch the door.
I think we're gonna have company.
Where's that saline?
Not there quite yet.
Hang in there, buddy.
- Almost there. Almost there. - Okay.
Okay, go, go. Go, go, go, go, go!
All right, Cap, got the saline.
Okay.
All right, Ravi, just pour it right in here.
Keep going. Clamp it right in there.
Can one of you check his pulse?
It's at 130.
- Are you sure? - I'm sure. What are you thinking?
The capillaries in his nasal cavities are dissolving.
The saline bought us a few minutes,
but he's losing blood faster than we can replace it.
The bleed is too deep and too strong. We need a rhino rocket.
But we don't have one.
All right, then what else?
I don't know!
This way.
She was just here.
Hi.
Hi, Moira. You're under arrest.
I swear, I thought the pastries were for everyone.
I figure we'd start with assault, arson, attempted murder.
Wow, all that, and you're not even out of the A's yet.
And we both know that isn't your purse.
God, no. It's hideous.
I'm gonna need that antiviral.
My life's work?
He was about to pay me millions for it.
- No, I was not. - Still,
it's my only bargaining chip.
Where is it?
You know, I figured you called the police when you didn't come back.
You hid it.
No!
Hands up.
Do me a favor. Check that container.
Damn it.
Now you are under arrest.
Oh, no.
Hey, gentle. I'm a future Nobel laureate.
Not sure they give those to terrorists.
Buck, what are you doing?
We gotta go a different way. FBI's here.
- You got the vial? - Yeah. What different way?
Up.
This was your big idea?
No! That was!
- You called your boyfriend? - Ex-boyfriend.
There's no way that I'm getting in that death trap.
We gotta go.
I just heard a radio call. I think the army's coming.
Fine, fine, fine. I'll get in!
Come on. Up.
I gotta make a call too.
Where'd they go?
He's unconscious.
Ravi, he passed out. We got to get him up on the table.
- Oh, God! - Easy, easy.
BP's falling off a cliff, he's 54 top.
- Start chest compressions. - Okay.
- Move! - Hen, what the hell?
You still have a hole in your chest cavity.
So let's do this fast.
It's mostly from his left nostril.
Ravi, fill a syringe with water.
- Sterile water? - Any water.
You got it.
Pulse is still elevated.
- Sorry, Chim. - Syringe.
- Water, not air, Hen? - Yeah, it should hold pressure better.
It's gonna expand the cuff and fill up his nasal cavity,
and if we're lucky, stop the bleed.
- You have shears? - I got 'em.
- Come on, come on. - Come on, Chim.
You got him?
- Come on, buddy. - Come on.
Okay, BP's rising. 58 top.
There you go.
- There you go. - Ugh.
Hen, you're not supposed to be in here.
What's going on?
Maddie, are you there? I've got good news.
I'm here. Is he okay?
He's stable for now, but that's not the good news.
Athena has the antiviral. She's on her way.
Hey, uh, thank you for doing this for me.
I'm doing it for Chimney.
Uh, yeah, yeah, that's fair.
And for you.
LAFD Copter 1671.
This is Colonel Hartman of the United States Army.
You are to return to base immediately. Copy?
Uh, negative, Colonel.
My orders are to assist with SoCal Tech BioMed.
Change of plans, Firefighter Kinard.
I'm taking control of this operation, and you will comply.
Be advised, we are providing you with an escort. Over.
I think he wants you to pull over.
- W-What are we gonna do? - Something incredibly stupid.
- Oh, come on. They have two? - Bastards!
Damn it!
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
I think this ride's over.
- But how far are we from the lab? - Far.
- So where to? - Hold on.
Exit the aircraft, surrender the vial.
Okay.
We're coming out.
- Is all this for me? - Watch your head.
There's one more.
Sergeant Grant, come out!
Or we will come in and get you.
Come out!
Where the hell's Athena Grant?
- Sergeant Grant, you're back. - And I brought a souvenir.
Allen! We need a suit.
Nobody's gone near the front door since the military pulled out.
You should be able to walk right in.
Once you're inside the clean room, you'll see a pass-through.
Like a little glass hatch.
This will get you through any still locked doors.
I'm here to make a deposit.
- You are a remarkable woman. - I love you too.
Now, go save Chimney!
Athena Grant?
- Sorry, fellas, you're a little late. - You're under arrest.
All right. Let's hope this is the miracle cure everyone says it is.
Athena, you under arrest too?
Agent Santos is feeling a little dramatic,
but I've yet to see a warrant,
so I doubt anyone's under arrest.
- That's great. - Except for you.
You obstructed a federal investigation.
Did you really think we were gonna let that stand?
You think your bosses are gonna let you stand up in open court
and tell this country just how close we came to another pandemic?
I am not concerned about the legality.
Sergeant Grant, you wasted the planet's only dose
on a man who's already sitting at death's door.
- A man who... - Is waving to you.
What?
See? I'm a genius.
- Bunny suits are back. - Oh, great.
They're gonna be able to get everyone out of here in no time.
I was gonna quit today.
I'm glad I didn't.
Me too. We wouldn't have been able
to get through this without you, Ravi.
Oh! You guys would not believe the day I had.
I thought Jee-Yun could use a pet.
Hey, good luck explaining that one to my sister.
Hey, Cap.
Cap.
What? Uh, whoa! Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?
No, no, no, no, no, Cap, don't take it off. Cap!
No! What you doing?
No, hey. Hey, hey, hey, no. No, Cap.
No, Cap! Hey!
You're gonna be okay, Buck. Remember that.
They're gonna need you.
I love you, kid.
No, Cap. No, Cap. Cap.
Cap, no!
Bobby! Bobby!
Athena.
Buck, what is it?
You need to come in here.
How?
There was a hole
in the air supply line in my breathing apparatus.
Probably happened during the explosion.
- Why didn't you say something? - There was only one dose.
Nothing I said was gonna change the math.
Buck, get a medical team down here.
- Athena, no. - What?
Buck...
don't send anyone else down here.
And I need you to leave.
I want some time alone with my wife.
I started feeling it hours ago.
No, there's gotta be something we can do.
I'm sorry.
- This isn't how I wanted to leave you. - You're not leaving me.
I won't let you.
You need to listen to me, please.
I'm not choosing to leave you.
I chose to save my team because it was the right thing to do.
It was never because I wanted to go.
I don't wanna go.
If I could choose, I would stay with you, always.
Then stay.
I'm sorry.
- We need more time. - We don't have any more time.
Mine was always borrowed.
LA was supposed to be my penance, not my home.
Then you said yes to a dinner invitation.
And I started to live again.
Bobby, please. Please.
No!
I love you, baby. I love you.
Bobby. Bobby!
Athena, you have to go. You can't be here for this next part.
I'm here...
for all the parts that we have left.
Is Hen okay?
Yeah, Hen's okay.
- Oh! - She's stable.
And-and Chimney?
Him too.
Oh, thank goodness. So everyone's okay?
Ravi...
Who...
Who's not okay?
I love you.
He knew, Maddie. When he saved my life, he knew.
