Assuming that Skinner's declaration is true,
only six days remain
until Hapna causes the first deaths among the populace.
We are currently seeing a rapid increase
in fever patients worldwide,
which is believed to be an effect of Hapna.
Hospitals are overflowing with cases of pyrexia,
putting tremendous strain on medical professionals.
We strongly urge those with fevers
to refrain from going to the hospital
and just recuperate at home instead.
The relentless decline in stock prices
has failed to come to an end,
and most major exchanges such as New York and Shanghai
remain closed even now.
Congress, banks, post offices,
and other services have all remained shut down
with no clear timeline for reopening.
It is a very real possibility
that today will be the last Sunday we ever get to see in our lives.
Okay, here are the results of the analysis we ran
on that drug Chris found in Skinner's room.
Did we get lucky? Is it the cure for Hapna?
There's no way.
It turned out to be a type of antiplatelet drug.
One that's meant to prevent blood clots.
Aw, phooey.
It's mainly used by patients who have artificial hearts.
Hold up.
Does that mean Skinner has an artificial heart?
I know he's struggled with a heart condition for some time,
but I've never heard of him having an artificial heart.
Then maybe he just got one within the past three years?
In which case,
it should be difficult to undergo a major surgery like that
without anyone noticing.
I've pulled up all medical records
from hospitals that performed
artificial heart surgeries over the last three years.
No matches found.
Damn that crafty bastard. What kind of trick did he use this time?
Maybe he found a genius underworld surgeon to do it?
Get real, people like that don't exist.
Then perhaps...
he had it done at a discreet hospital
that only caters to the influential elite.
What do you mean?
You've never heard of it?
Rumor has it there's a hospital that guarantees total privacy
in exchange for an incredibly high medical fee.
Okay, that sounds worth looking into.
Well, here's the thing.
It's completely unknown to the general public,
and a direct referral is supposed to be the only way to get in.
That makes sense.
I'm not finding any traces of a place like that
in the medical network.
Are we sure it really exists? Not just some urban legend?
Axel, Doug...
Would you mind coming with me?
Huh?!
Whoa, what's with the getup?
Well...
I might have a way to get us in.
Axel...
Axel Gilberto...
Where is he now?
It's me, Leland.
Is this a palace or something?
Seems like the kinda place where Batman would live.
Take us to the front of the mansion.
Young Master!
It is so good to see you back, at long last.
No way!
Is this your house?!
Oh, your service is appreciated.
The exit is that way.
Pops, these guys aren't chauffeurs.
They're some friends who I've been staying with.
Heavens me!
My sincerest apologies.
Allow me to welcome you to the Astor Family mansion.
So, who's this "Astor Family"?
You don't know?
It's an aristocratic family that's been around for centuries.
Hey, is it just me or do we seem sorely out of place?
How should I know?
Goodness me.
Such unusual guests we have today.
Who are you again?
It's been so long now
that I can't even remember your name.
What am I supposed to say, "the prodigal son returns"?
Good day, sister.
It's been quite some time.
There's nothing "good" about today, you reject.
I've come here today to humbly ask for a favor.
Seriously?
You suddenly show up after four years
just to ask for favors?
What is it this time?
Fraud? Theft?
What do you want me to cover up?
Father went out of his way
to get you admitted to a good school,
and you did nothing but screw it up!
My apologies.
I know that I caused a lot of trouble.
That's an understatement.
Please, sister.
Would you introduce me
to the members-only medical society that the Astor Family uses?
To our doctors?
What are you scheming this time?
Good grief.
How is the only man left in the family
a pathetic reject like you?
The tradition of male inheritance is outdated.
Father should have just abolished it while he was still alive!
Ya know, maybe we shouldn't be here for this?
Don't ask me.
I beg your pardon, sister.
But if you would see fit to take a husband, then-
Huh?! What're you trying to say?!
Um, Lady Isabella...
I was forced to meet
with a long list of prospective suitors!
And I hated the whole lot!
Every damn one of them
was just a greedy asshole after my money!
So don't give me lip!
You know nothing about what I've been through!
Take up your position as head of the Astor Family right now.
Huh?
Just do it.
Then you won't need to ask me for any favors.
All the information that you want to know will become yours.
So after treating me like some kind of parasite for years,
now that our brother and father are dead,
you suddenly want me to take over everything?
I can't even remember father spending any time with me as a kid.
So what, you're complaining about being an illegitimate child?
Who gives a damn?
You've been nothing but a rebellious brat
who constantly wastes time on nonsense, anyway.
Father never even showed up...
when my mother passed away.
What else was he supposed to do?
Publicly attend the funeral of his mistress?!
That's why I didn't bother attending his funeral.
I considered it a small act of revenge.
Enough already.
If you're not here to take over the family,
then leave and never come back.
What did we even tag along for?
He probably wanted us to see this.
Huh?
What he's really like, I mean.
Despite everything she just said,
the truth is that Lady Isabella
was looking forward to your return more than anyone, Master Leland.
When she heard that you'd arrived,
she looked happier than she has in a long time.
Why does it always end up like this?
I told myself that I wasn't going to get into an argument today.
On the anniversary of father's passing,
there were white carnations left at his grave.
Those were from you, weren't they?
Well, actually...
It was you, right?
Yes.
Fine, I'll give you what you want.
But in return...
you have to spend the weekend with me.
Huh?
I mean, the world has gone to hell.
And if it's all going to end in just a few days, then why not?
You can afford to spend one weekend with me.
Okay?
That's my stipulation for introducing you to our doctors.
All right.
Then...
I promise I'll come back here next Sunday.
Next Sunday?
Haven't you seen the news?
Listen...
The reason I'm asking you for this information
is to make sure that we all get another peaceful Sunday.
So please!
Here you are, sir.
We appreciate your continued patronage.
May luck be with you.
Oh, please.
There is no such thing as luck.
Do you have an appointment?
Um, I'm not here for a checkup...
Huh?
Could you please tell her that Leland Astor is here?
Well, well!
Now there's a face I don't see every day.
You've really grown up a lot during the time I haven't seen you,
Leland.
It's been quite some time.
Cancel all my appointments for today.
Probably just a bunch of patients
begging me to do something about Hapna, anyway.
I need you to watch this and confirm something for me.
Is this video what I think it is?
Yes, it's part of the security footage
from the Schiphol Airport incident.
But I thought all of that had already been seized
by the US military stationed in Europe.
Well, we got our hands on a fragment of the backed-up data.
How?
An internal whistleblower.
People like that tend to start popping up
when the end of the world is only a few days away.
Skinner!
This is from twelve minutes before the incident.
There's no doubt about it.
That's him.
We suspect that Skinner's goal here
was to try and smuggle out the Hapna prototype.
Then Skinner must have been trying to leak its existence to the public.
Here's where the problems start.
I'd quit smoking awhile back.
But then I figured there was no point in fighting the urge
when the world is about to end.
Um, so...
we're searching for Dr. Skinner right now.
Do you know if he underwent heart surgery here?
I know you can't just share information like that,
but it's the only clue we have that can lead us to Skinner!
So please help us!
On the day of your father's funeral...
you came to watch in secret, didn't you?
Off in a corner of the church that nobody was paying attention to.
I had you figured out.
Even after that little brush-in with the law
and your estrangement from the Astor Family,
I knew you were a kind kid at heart.
I guess doctor-patient confidentiality
means jack squat at this point, huh?
Honestly, I was kind of waiting for someone to come ask me.
I can't take a secret like this to my grave, after all.
The unit that stormed in was Delta Force,
which takes their orders directly from US INSCOM.
Their mission was reportedly to apprehend a terrorist.
Who's on the other side?
The airport police.
There must have been some kind of miscommunication between them.
This is where the footage ends.
So, did Skinner end up detained by INSCOM afterwards?
I would assume so.
Then all the reports
about this being a terrorist attack with biochemical weapons
were a lie?
Since we know that Skinner was trying
to smuggle out a prototype of Hapna,
there's no doubt that was the gas-like substance
that leaked from his suitcase during the shootout.
Dear God...
Does that mean the prototype
was potent enough to instantly kill people upon contact?
Yes.
When Skinner came back to the lab three months after this,
he was like a completely different person.
He shut himself off emotionally, and wouldn't let anyone come close.
And then, half a year later,
Hapna reappeared in a very unexpected place.
Where?
The Eyman Prison in Arizona.
The exact same place where Axel was being held at the time.
Your hunch was right on the money,
Skinner did undergo surgery for an artificial heart here.
And the post-op outlook was good.
But we can never be sure what might happen
with an artificial heart.
What are you implying?
All modern artificial hearts are designed
so that the heartbeat data can be constantly monitored.
Okay, so we can find Skinner's whereabouts
by tracing him through that?
Hot damn.
Naturally, we were supposed to be in charge
of monitoring Skinner's data.
But...
after being discharged,
he immediately encrypted the transmission,
and made it untraceable.
We no longer know his whereabouts,
or even if he's still alive.
What's that?
It's the firmware for the transmission system.
Analyzing it might reveal something useful.
For example...
if some third party is now monitoring him instead.
Thanks for everything, Millie.
Leland...
Hear me out.
I know your father lost his life in that disaster,
but I believe there's significance to the fact you survived it.
And you should know,
your father talked about you pretty often.
"He's the one who takes after me the most."
"I can relate to him more than he thinks,
since I always gave my parents a hard time, too."
I remember him saying that.
Hey, it's time to get going.
Oh, okay.
Hold on, boys!
Can I ask you a little favor?
If you do manage to catch Skinner,
I'd like you to bring him here first.
As his primary care doctor,
I couldn't bare the thought of him just dying on me like this.
So, hey, thanks for tagging along with me today.
Don't mention it. We scored big.
And, um...
There's actually something I need to tell you guys.
About you being a spy, right?
You knew?
We're all here under iffy circumstances.
So it's no surprise that you've been keeping a secret or two.
Aw, jeez, come on.
Don't start crying.
I'm not crying!
Uh-huh, sure.
Seriously!
Amazing!
The heart monitor is still active!
Even though this won't lead us directly to Skinner,
we can use it to find the place where he's being monitored!
At that point in time,
Eyman Prison was forcing all their death row
and life-sentence inmates
to take new drugs as part of clinical trials.
Then Axel qualified to be one of the test subjects, too.
That's right, but the results were never recorded,
nor is there any documentation
about what happened to the inmates afterwards.
Meaning that Axel is living proof of their experiment.
We've lost contact
with the only witness who had information,
a doctor from Eyman Prison.
It's possible Axel might know that doctor.
Hm? Hersch?
Details later.
Right now, I need you to go and protect a witness.
So what were you three boys up to?
Nothing much, really.
Scandalous!
Your eyes are red.
It's cuz you cried, right?
I wasn't crying!
Oh, really?
Got a call from Hersch.
She needs me to go secure a witness.
Bingo!
Where is it?
Let's see...
Latitude 73°09' and longitude 33°72'.
That's in Islamabad, Pakistan!
Pakistan?
That's where the cyber attacks on the pharma company came from.
Yes, it's Popcorn Wizard. The other hacker we were after!
All right, let's get in touch with the local police immediately.
Please wait!
Popcorn Wizard is constantly on the move.
They'll get away again if we just give chase like that.
The only way to pinpoint their exact location in real-time
is for me to go there myself!
But...
This is going to be our last chance!
So please let me go to Pakistan!
You're aware of the risks, right?
Yes!
Fine, but on one condition:
I'm coming with you. Got that?
Okay!
The drug they forced you to take at that Arizona prison
was a prototype of Hapna.
It's very likely that everyone else who took it is already dead.
Seriously?
You escaped right after the clinical trial ended,
so you obviously had no way of knowing,
but the only involved person who's still alive
is the prison doctor who served there.
Do you remember him?
Yeah, we were chill.
I need you to go and ensure his safety immediately.
Got it.
But man...
How am I the only one still alive?
Everything okay, Eleina?
Uh, yeah, I'm fine!
What's the deal?
