So cold...
I'm back!
So, uh...
feeling a lot of doom and gloom in here.
Where's Chris, by the way?
I have something to tell you all about her.
Before you get into that, we need to talk.
Skinner developed Hapna at the Hague Institute,
which we already know has been shut down.
But I had Eleina do some digging to see
who was working there at the time.
Huh?
Is that Ms. Hersch?
Well, now, guess that means you were one of Skinner's buddies, huh?
So, ma'am, do you have a good explanation for this that you can share?
Very well.
I knew you 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 never said a word to me or any of our coworkers.
He was just gone.
It left me totally devastated, so I quit working there.
Then, three years later when he finally came back,
Hapna had become a lethal poison that threatened to destroy the world.
Worse yet, we couldn't even understand its makeup.
And now?
Who are you working for?
Well, I imagine you already have an educated guess.
Yeah, some kind of special task force created
under the umbrella of the NSA, I assume?
That's correct.
Lazarus recruited me because I was one of the
few people who really got to know Skinner.
Special task force, eh?
So basically, we're just scapegoats that they can disavow
whenever things go south.
Excuse me...
I'm totally lost and not following any of this.
Can we go back to Chris and why she isn't here?
Where am I?
Take a guess.
Freezing temperatures...
The smell of oil and the sound of seagulls...
If I had to guess, we must be on an oil rig near the Arctic...
in the Barents Sea.
I had heard you were a former spy.
And it sounds like you haven't lost your touch.
Traitors get the death sentence!
What do you think you're doing, Sergei?
Nothing! I just caught her trying to escape, ya see.
I'm so happy that you're still alive...
Alexandra.
Inga...
Because all I've wanted is to kill you
with my own hands.
We lost communication with Chris last night.
According to her GPS,
she's currently in the territorial waters of Russia near the Arctic,
at an abandoned offshore oil rig.
The Arctic?!
But why?
We're working on the assumption
that 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.
If she remains out of contact for three days,
her wristband will automatically activate
to stop her bloodstream and end her life.
It was set up that way because Chris herself suggested it.
Christine Blake is not her real name.
She used to be a Russian special forces agent.
But she defected,
completely changing her name and face, and becoming a member of Lazarus.
She was 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.
Whatever surgery you've done, nothing could change your eyes.
I'd recognize that headstrong look anywhere.
Three years ago,
word came in that you'd died in the airport incident.
But they never found your body,
so I knew that you must have survived.
You're going to regret defecting when I'm done with you.
Enjoy waiting for help to come.
Assuming that anyone would ever come to save a traitor like you.
In any case, we don't have a lot of time.
It's already been a day.
Only two more to go...
All right, so 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 need to consider the possibility
that Chris betrayed us.
Are you ordering us to abandon her?
I'm going after her.
Uh, me too!
I'm also going.
Or would you rather just execute us all with these wristbands?
Um, well...
Sorry!
Just so we're clear,
I have absolutely no idea where Skinner is.
Why would we be after him?
Every intelligence organization in the world
is looking for Skinner right now.
And the boat that passed me back in Tuvalu,
that was you guys, right?
Hey...
We really need to report back to the Motherland soon.
Don't complicate things.
This is my problem to deal with.
It's me.
Yeah, that's fine.
If something changes, then...
What's the grumpy look for?
Did you get scolded by Mommy?
Why don't you shut your goddamn mouth!
Great, so we've made it to Oslo,
but now what do we do?
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 either, cuz the roads are apparently closed down.
Oh man, now what?
We only have one day left.
Hersch?
Stay where you are.
US 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-Ålesund that Eleina can use to work her computer magic.
So we're good to go?
Well, you'll be operating outside of official protocol.
But...
I don't want to lose Chris anymore than the rest of you.
Well?
Are you starting to remember how to be obedient now?
Some tough guy you are.
Can't manage to hit a woman unless she's tied to a chair, huh?
What?
Chickenshit.
I hate to say it,
but this is the most I can do for you guys.
That's plenty.
We appreciate it.
Hey, Eleina,
I'm assuming you can't gain access from the outside, huh?
The oil rig is completely offline.
But it is equipped with a communication system,
so once you turn that on, I should be able to access it.
I'm ready to go whenever.
The drone is ready, too.
Be incredibly cautious after you enter Russian waters.
With all the ice sheets now melted,
military tensions around disputed territory
in the Arctic have really been flaring up.
Worst case scenario,
one misstep here could trigger a world war.
You think you're smart?
Well, your little ploy to get me to untie you isn't going to work.
Shucks, you're not as dumb as you look.
That's four and five...
I can already see six people from above.
And they all have assault rifles.
Head two floors up, then make a right.
The network room should be at the end of that hall.
Copy.
Make it big and flashy, okay, Doug?
There's an unidentified ship approaching us
from Norwegian waters.
It's entered Russian waters.
Still approaching.
Keep an eye on it.
Команда A, stand by on the east side!
I'll join you shortly.
We haven't reported your capture to the Motherland yet,
because Inga said she wanted to take care of you personally.
But ya know,
deadly accidents can happen when interrogating bitches like you, yeah?
A large vessel is approaching.
All hands, be on alert.
Go! I'll follow after you soon.
Uh, hey...
You know Inga told us to keep her alive.
Never mind.
We're in!
Команда B! Head for the tanker!
Команда G, put out the fires!
It's Chris! I've found her.
She left the sickbay and went down the hallway.
She's by herself!
Okay!
The tanker is unmanned!
It's a decoy!
Look for intruders!
Axel!
Two guys up ahead!
Who are you?
Aw, crap!
Leland!
Axel, I'll guide you in the right direction.
Sounds good!
Whoops...
Whoa! Can you walk?
We're leaving.
Why'd you come?
Look, I don't deserve to get saved.
Because I'm...
Nobody gives a flying crap about your past.
I'm saving you for who you are now.
Wait here!
I'm gonna take care of those guys.
Over the past three years,
all I could think about was how I was going to kill you.
Go ahead and shoot.
I've always been willing to die by your hand.
Like I'm going to believe the words of a no-good traitor like you!
When I saw you again for the first time in three years...
I froze up.
I changed my face and even my name,
but my heart was the one thing that I couldn't change.
Then why?
Why did you just disappear after the airport incident?
On that day...
I got caught in the disaster and lost my life.
I actually flatlined and my name got put on the list of casualties,
but I came back from the brink.
That's when I was struck by a thought.
"I can escape the organization
if everyone keeps believing that I'm dead."
And just abandon me?
Since you were my handler, I knew they'd kill you if I deserted.
That's why...
I needed to be dead.
Let's run away.
We'll escape together, just the two of us.
No.
You already know that's impossible.
Sashenka...
It's all your fault.
Because of what you did...
I can never love again.
Traitors get...
the death sentence!
Hurry up, Axel!
It won't be long now until the whole rig explodes!
Inga...
Inga!
I was glad to see you...
one last time...
Live your life...
enough for both of us...
Sashenka...
Come on!
Chris! Axel! Say something!
We're on the way!
Axel!
Chris!
We've safely rescued Chris.
Now returning to base!
