01x11 - Runnin' with the Devil

Post by bunniefuu »

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.

So that means that Axel

is living proof of their

experiments.

This is going to be

our last chance!

You need to let me go

to Pakistan!

You are aware of the risks, right?

Yes.

Fine, but on one condition.

I'm coming with you.

Got that?

Got it!

The drug they forced you

to take at the Arizona prison

- was a prototype of Hapna.

- Huh?

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

that served there.

Do you remember him?

- Sure do, I know him well.

I need you to go and ensure

his safety immediately.

Got it.

How in the hell am I

the only one still alive?

Elaina, everything okay?

Oh, yeah. I'm all right!

Where's Popcorn right now?

33.693578.

The same location as before.

Great.

But they might start

moving again

like they did when we were

at Delta Medicinal.

Hey, your face is red.

Do you think you might have

a fever or something?

You know, it could be

a symptom of Hapna.

My body temp

It seems to be all right!

That's good.

The gloves are off now.

They've started moving!

If we have to,

we'll chase them

to the ends of the Earth.

When was that?

All right. Thanks.

A special operations

aircraft out of Fort Belvoir

has departed for Pakistan.

- Fort what?

That's where U.S. Army

INSCOM is headquartered.

Wait, to Pakistan?

You mean,

just like Doug and Elaina?

Is the Army chasing them

or something?

That seems to be the case.

Looks like we're getting close

to uncovering something

they don't want us

to know about.

That's for sure.

I'm leaving.

I have to go to talk to them.

Talk to who? The Army?

Do me a favor.

A man will be visiting

here shortly.

Give him this envelope, please.

Um, sure.

Hey. What man?

Dunno.

Ah, what the hell?

Huh?

Come on, man!

I don't even get a "hello"?

Come and get me!

Trigger-happy b*stard.

Okay, I'll admit it!

You're not half-bad!

Hersch Lindemann.

I'm here to see

2nd Lieutenant Schneider.

Have you scheduled

an appointment?

Nobody calls ahead when

they're coming to start a fight.

Where's Hersch?

I can't get ahold of her.

She said she was going to see

the Army.

What? She left and went

to INSCOM?

Here.

She told us to give you this.

Hold up. Who are you?

Oh. My apologies.

My name is Abel Anderson,

the founder of Lazarus.

You know him?

What?

Is this for real?

What's going on?

What's the matter?

Aren't you here to dance

with me?

Come on now, you better hurry,

or your gonna miss your chance.

Same old boring moves!

Well, this is a surprise.

To what do we owe

the honor of your visit?

I'm not a fan of small talk,

so I'll get straight

to the point, Mr. Schneider.

Tell your men in Pakistan

to stand down

immediately.

My men in Pakistan?

I don't follow.

Otherwise,

I'm ready to leak everything

you don't want the public

to know about you.

And what could you

possibly know about us?

Enlighten me.

Arizona prison.

Axel Gilberto.

Is this a guessing game?

If so, I'm gonna need

more clues.

It's not more clues

that you need.

It's bodies.

We know INSCOM used lifers

and death-row inmates

at Eyman Prison

as human guinea pigs

in experiments with a new drug.

Unfortunately for you,

all of them died.

And as the both of you

may know, gentlemen,

we can find no record

of these experiments.

However, you have one problem.

You ended up losing a body.

Not only did your

missing inmate survive,

he also escaped from the prison.

And that's this "Gilberto"

fella you mentioned earlier?

My gosh, what a tale!

I'm shocked the NSA would fall

for what is clearly fake

information.

You really care about

your subordinates, Ms. Hersch,

I must say.

Here's hoping

that Axel Gilberto has

many wonderful years

ahead of him.

I see how it is.

The entire world

is looking for Skinner

in the hopes of saving humanity.

Except for you people.

You apparently have

a different reason.

This is your last chance.

Call off your men who are

hunting my team in Pakistan.

Now.

I'm very sorry, Ms. Hersch,

but it seems that we are

going to have to detain you here

for the time being.

On the grounds of, well

I guess treason

or something like that.

You're finally showing

your true colors, Mr. Schneider.

Such a shame.

Great.

She's gone and done

something reckless.

What does the letter say?

I believe Hersch

may have been detained

at INSCOM headquarters.

She apparently went there

hoping to stop

their men in Pakistan,

but no news from her

at this point only means

that negotiations

have fallen flat.

- Oh, no!

- So, she's in trouble?

Liz. What is it?

Bad news.

There are explosions going off

all over the city.

And there are two men

at the center of the chaos.

Give me a second.

I'm sending you

the footage now.

- Axel?!

- Huh?!

He said he was going to

secure a witness

Who's the guy fighting him?

My guess an assassin sent

by the U.S. Army.

I'm not sure.

We have zero information

on this guy

in the NSA database.

Then, could he be

Impossible!

Has the phantom assassin

actually come out in the open?

How much longer

until we get there?

About 22 more minutes.

Elaina, if we find Skinner

and things go back to normal

what will you do first?

Could be anything,

big or small.

Well

I think I wanna eat a Big M

from M Burger.

Really? Do you like them?

No way. They're disgusting.

But sometimes,

I get a strong craving for one.

Well, I think they taste great.

I'm sorry.

Someone's tailing us.

I can stall them.

Can you go on

and find Popcorn by yourself?

But I

Right now, you're the only one

who has any chance

of finding Skinner's location.

Sometimes, I just

gotta play the badass.

Sorry, I have no intention

on dying.

I'll surrender.

That'll keep them occupied.

Right.

I've heard the rumors.

A phantom assassin who

remains cloaked in mystery

because those who've seen him

are dead.

In fact, there was entire troop

of INSCOM soldiers

who got wiped out recently--

probably his handiwork.

Do I have clearance

to use an as*ault r*fle?

You're cleared

to use everything.

Hold on!

I want to come with you!

No, Leland.

I need you to stay here

and hold down the fort,

so we have a place

to come back to.

I'm leaving to try

and rescue Hersch.

Leland,

I'm leaving you in charge.

Yes, sir.

Chris!

Promise me

that you'll bring Axel back!

Count on it.

The other one is gone!

Son of a--

Why are you laughing?

Aren't you afraid to die?

I've danced with death

many times.

She's an old friend of mine.

You love dancing with her too.

Axel!

The other side.

Wait!

Huh?

Wait for me!

That's it!

Hold on!

Mad Screamer?

What the hell?

Huh?

Well, damn.

Guess this isn't ending

until one of us is dead.

What's wrong?

Dibs on the first move

if you're not taking it!

Good.

Rid yourself of your heart.

And become a faceless monster.

Is that the Hundun's wing?

Huh?

Tell me who you are.

I am no one.

Tell me who you are.

I am no one.

Tell me who you are.

Feeling sorry for the

Hundun's lack of a face,

the people bore holes into him.

But that only caused

the Hundun great pain,

so it went on a rampage

that could not be stopped.

And then

Rid yourself of emotion.

Rid yourself of reason.

Rid yourself of your heart.

Good.

You shall all become

faceless monsters.

I can't remember.

You must tell me!

The Hundun had holes

bored into its face.

But then

what happened to it?!

Axel?!

Axel!
