Titled "First Born," the third episode of The Strain Season 3 will offer more insights into Mr. Quinlan's fascinating past, and ahead of the episode's premiere on Sunday, September 11th, a new preview video teases the impending showdown between The Born and The Master.

Episode 303 Synopsis: "The Occido Lumen is gone. Stolen. Setrakian and Fet race to recover it. Gus and Angel try to hide a secret houseguest while avoiding a police sweep, and Quinlan's thirst for vengeance is revealed."

"New York City is a battleground as humans fight for survival against the vampire apocalypse. Though our heroes achieve small victories, they are not winning the war. Beset by personal conflicts – betrayal, disappointment, paranoia – the group splinters as the Master closes in on executing an irreversible transformation of the world.
