- So cold.
- I made it back!
Huh?
Ah...
So, uh, it's feeling very gloomy in here.
Where's Chris, by the way?
- I have something to tell you about her.
Before you start, we need to talk.
Skinner developed Hapna at the Hague Institute,
which we know has been shut down.
But I had Elaina do a little digging.
I wanted to see who worked there at the time.
- Huh? Is that Ms. Hersch?
- Well, look at that,
guess that means you and Skinner were old buddies, eh?
- So, ma'am, is there a good explanation for this
that you can share with us?
- Very well then. I knew somebody would uncover
this information sooner or later.
Yes, it's true that I was once Skinner's
colleague at the Hague.
I was also part of the team researching Hapna.
But right before the drug was finished,
he vanished without a trace.
He just left. He never said a word to me
or any of our colleagues.
I was totally devastated.
I left the institution shortly after.
Then three years later, when he finally returned from seclusion,
Hapna had become a lethal drug
that threatened to destroy the world.
Worse yet, we couldn't understand its molecular makeup.
- And now? Who are you working for?
- Well, I bet you have an educated guess.
- Yes, I do.
Some special task force created under the NSA...
I would assume.
- Huh?
- That's correct.
Lazarus recruited me because of...
how well I know Skinner.
- "Special task force"?
So basically we're just their scapegoats
when everything goes boom.
- Excuse me.
I haven't been able to follow a single thing
you guys are saying.
Can we go back to Chris.
Where is she?
[ Birds chirping ]
[ Door opens ]
- Tell me. Where am I?
- You tell me.
- Freezing temperatures,
the smell of oil, the sound of seagulls.
If I had to guess, we must be on an oil rig
in the Arctic, Barents Sea.
- [ Chuckles ]
Yeah, I heard you used to be one of us.
And it sounds like you haven't lost your touch!
Traitors like you deserve to die!
- [ Groans ]
- Sergei! What are you doing?
- Hmm?
Ahh, nothing!
I just caught her trying to escape.
- I'm so happy to see that you're still alive...
Alexandra. - Inga.
- I've been waiting a long time to kill you...
with my own hands.
- We lost communication with Chris last night.
Her GPS shows her in territorial waters in Russia
near the Arctic, at an abandoned offshore oil rig.
- She's in the Arctic? Why would she be there?
- We're working on the assumption
that the oil rig is part of Russia's spy network
and serves as one of their hideouts.
- In other words, she's been captured by Russian agents.
- Huh? - If she remains out of contact
for three days, her wristband will automatically
activate to stop her bloodstream and end her life.
- Huh?!
- It was set up that way
because that's what she wanted.
Christine Blake is not her real name.
She used to be a Russian special forces agent.
- [ Gasps ] - [ Gasps ]
- She defected,
and then changed her name and her face
and became a member of Lazarus.
She's been fully aware that in order
for us to trust a spy like her,
she would have to be willing to put her life on the line.
- No matter how many surgeries you have,
nothing could ever change those eyes.
I'd recognize that stubborn look anywhere.
Three years ago,
word came in that you'd died in that tragedy at the airport.
♪
But they never found your body,
so I knew that you must have somehow survived.
You're going to regret defecting when I'm done with you.
So sit here and enjoy waiting for help to come.
Assuming that anyone would ever come to save a traitor like you.
- In any case, time's running out.
- A day has already gone by.
- Two more to go.
- Okay then, we just need to bring her back
before time is up, right?
- You can't. Not when you're going up
against Russian special agents.
Besides, we must consider that Chris may have betrayed us.
- You want us to abandon her?
- I'm going after her. - Uh, me too!
- I'm also going.
Or would you rather execute us with your wristbands?
- Um, well...
Sorry.
- Before we start again,
I told you I don't know where Skinner is.
- Why should we care where he is? - Well...
every agency in the world is looking for him right now.
The boat that passed me back in Tuvalu,
that was you guys, right?
- Hey.
[ Door opens ]
We really need to report back to the Motherland.

- So we've made it to Oslo. What are the next steps?
- If we can make it to the northern coast of Norway,
then we should be able to go the rest of the way via ship.
- No luck. All flights are canceled
because of the bad weather.
- Can't drive there either,
apparently all the roads are closed down.
- Now what?
- We only have one day remaining.
[ Wristband rings ]
- Hersch? - Stay where you are.
U.S. European Command has dispatched a heli
to pick you up and get you as close as possible.
I also reached out to the Norwegian government.
They have a facility in Ny- lesund
that Elaina can use to work her computer magic.
- Huh?
- So, we're good to go?
- You'll be... outside of official protocol, of course.
And I don't want to lose Chris anymore than you.
