Previously in Helix...
This is my brother Peter.
I've got a reply for that message!
Whatever Balleseros is up to has
everything to do with this virus.
But I want him found.
- Who are you?
- I'm Anana.
Thirty-one missing
kids over the past two decades,
all within 200 miles of Arctic Biosystems
and your precious Dr. Hatake.
- This is where I left him.
- He's been taken.
This is me and my brothers. Twins.
This is Miksa.
He disappeared when we were kids.
- Where's Miksa now?
- You tell me, you son of a ***.
Don't worry, Julia. We'll have you back
on your feet in no time.
Incoming flight.
- Incoming flight.
- Whoa.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
- You know, what we did was...
- Under the circumstances...
- The work is really what's important.
- It was perfectly...
- Fine. It's fine.
- Yeah.
- What we did was biology. I'm OK. Really.
- Okay.
Incoming flight.
Fine. I am too.
What do you think?
Good or bad?
Considering we never got
the call out, probably bad.
Definitely bad.
- Military?
- No.
- My corporate patrons.
- Hold your weapons. Sir.
Dr. Farragut, isn't it?
It's so nice to finally meet you.
I'm Constance Sutton, the Chief
Operating Officer of the Ilaria Corporation,
parent company of Arctic Biosystems.
I'm here for one reason only:
to help you.
The first thing I need is
a working line to the CDC.
Am I to understand
that the communication
satellite went down?
Unfortunately, I don't have
a magic telephone.
I'm under the same constraints
as everyone at this base.
- What about your helicopters?
- They're out of range already.
They'll be back in two days' time.
I'm afraid you're stuck with me
and my boys until then, Doctor.
Two hours in a helicopter.
Ouch.
I'm sorry you had a rough journey.
So, Alan, how goes the search for a cure?
- Slowly. - Hence the fact that I am
here wearing combat boots.
But it's time for us to create
a new paradigm between our corporation
and the CDC, so what do you need from
Ilaria to contain this terrible disease?
An integral member of my team,
uh, Dr. Walker, is trapped
- down on Level R. I need her back.
- Impossible.
Dr. Hatake, please.
Let's square the circle here.
Dr. Walker, why is she locked up?
She's infected.
I'm so sorry.
She's an expert in RNA structure.
And that's important because...?
RNA carries the message. We store
the instructions for the cure in the DNA,
and then the RNA passes it on,
and that makes her the most
important member of my team.
Well, Ilaria is about value-add.
If Dr. Walker is what you need,
Dr. Walker is what you will get.
Lieutenant Klein, let's prepare a plan
- to retrieve Dr. Walker.
- Yes, ma'am.
Alan, one thing.
One thing only: a cure.
Please.
Now,
Dr. Hatake, may we have a word?
In private, if you don't mind.
Constance.
Hiroshi.
Two things, Hiroshi!
Two simple things.
- That's all we needed.
- I created your virus...
Where is the cure?!
Virus and cure.
One without the other is
meaningless. We don't want
to kill everybody.
just thin the herd a bit.
And rule them.
It's time.
We've waited long enough.
You know that.
There have been a few setbacks.
You failed.
Thank God the CDC arrived
to do your job for you.
For you.
What is this other strain
that I'm hearing about?
NARVIK-B, the one
that turns people into...
An alternate attempt at the virus.
Why?
The cure has been elusive
in the A strain.
- Perhaps the B strain...
- Perhaps you are full of ***,
Hiroshi.
It's the Willis hypothesis.
We said no then.
Nothing has changed.
Virus and cure.
Simple.
Do you really plan
to go down to Level R?
To get this Walker? Yes.
If Dr. Farragut needs her, he gets her.
- The cure is in his hands now.
- And then?
And then we follow normal
null protocol no witnesses.
These people are my employees,
my responsibility.
No one gets out alive, Hiroshi.
You knew that before we started.
What about the CDC?
If they fail to return?
We have people in place
to control such things.
And if I...
find out
that you betrayed us...
the only thing left of you
or this facility
will be a blackened scar on the ice.
Now say it.
Say it.
No one gets out alive.

Agh! Come on! Please?
Begging? Thought you military
guys were tough.
Just one hand even,
so I can hold on.
- No.
- How much farther?
- Far.
- "Far!"
Are you mocking me?
Would you prefer I sang
"One Hundred Bottles of Beer?"
I'd rather you shut your mouth!
Well, then untie me, and
I promise you won't hear a word.
Or I could just speed up,
you fall off, and then I won't
- have to hear you yapping.
- I like my plan better.
We need to talk.
About... about Sutton.
What about her?
I don't think
she's telling us everything.
not with what Hatake's
been putting us through.
- What do you mean?
- What I mean
is I don't think our agenda
is her agenda.
Right. Where's the profit
in sending Sutton
- and her private army up here?
- Especially when we're already
- cleaning up their mess for free.
- Big pharma.
You know they're only interested
in the bottom line.
- They don't really want to help people.
- And who knows how far they'll
go to protect their investment?
We can't stop working on a cure.
No, too many lives at stake.
But we do not work for Sutton.
We keep the cure from her.
We may need it.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! Ahhh! Ah!
Daniel.
Hatake's adopted son.
Though on some level you do
realize that we pay your salary, yes?
So you've already bought me.
Paid for excellent service, rather.
Did you have a chance
to meet this Dr. Walker?
- Yeah.
- I'm feeling some pushback,
Daniel, and I'm extremely busy,
so I need a quick win
- on this one, okay?
- Okay.
I need full intel on Walker before
I return her to Dr. Farragut, and...
well, let's be honest, Hiroshi
is not gonna tell me anything.
There's not much to tell.
I like you, Daniel, and I don't want
to start our relationship
with you lying to me.
I wasn't aware
that we had a relationship.
Loyalty I understand.
Hell, I even admire it.
So let's skip the negatives and
get straight to the positives, shall we?
You are very good at your job.
And Hatake is not gonna be
in charge of this place forever.
Just think on it, Daniel. Please.
Hiroshi has destroyed everyone
who's ever been close to him.
Don't let him do the same to you.
Handy.
The US military abandoned 67
of these early-warning stations
across the Arctic.
Someone should put them to use.
How about untying my hands?
You need your hands to sleep?
You've got the gun.
Yeah, you make a good point.
I'm just saying.
Let's be reasonable.
Okay.
Okay.
It's reasonable to hogtie you.
- Make sure you don't get any ideas about
running off. - Aw, come on!
I need to get back upstairs. I need
to get to Alan. My blood could have
antibodies that fight the virus.
There's a guy in Australia.
His blood plasma has saved
2 million babies.
We only have to save 40 or 50 people.
This would be so much easier
if you were real.
- I'm better than nothing.
- Barely.
Are you connected to my silver eyes?
- Is that why I'm seeing you?
- Is that your hypothesis?
You know I've always hated
the Socratic method.
Fine.
Maybe it's temporary light sensitivity.
Or non-episodic cluster headaches.
Or maybe you're just going blind.
Better than dead, I guess.
Or maybe...
...maybe you're survivor zero.
The first one cured.
But if I'm cured,
why am I still hallucinating?
I have an even better question.
Why are you hallucinating me
instead of Alan?
Sutton is trying
to turn me against you.
Of course she is.
I just wanted to let you know.
Sutton can be a dangerous enemy.
I understand.
No. You don't.
She destroys anything
that gets in her way.
She said something similar
about you.
What is it you want from me?
Your trust.
I'm trying to protect you.
But there is one thing you can do.
Under no circumstances
can Sutton be allowed
to gain access to Dr. Walker.
Why is Walker so important?
Is it about the cure?
- I never cared about the cure.
- But I thought that's why...
Is it not enough
that I asked for your help?
I think Sutton will kill Walker.
I do not wish that outcome.
You should get closer to the heater.
- Are you really gonna sleep?
- That's what tired people do.
- Deus caramba.
- Jeez,
you can't even speak Spanish correctly.
That's 'cause it's Portuguese.
See? Horrible Spanish.
Where's your home?
Espirito Santo.
Just north of Rio.
I really am sorry.
You know, about the missing kids.
As a child, we were warned
to stay near the hunting camps.
Otherwise,
the Qalupalik would take us.
Qalu-who?
Boogeyman.
Child-stealer.
But I grew up and discovered
my Boogeyman was real.
Mine too.
A lot of kids go missing in Espirito Santo?
Yeah.
Fine.
I don't like you.
But I'm sorry about
whatever you went through.
Dr. Farragut.
Ms. Sutton.
Please, call me Constance.
So, how is the search
for the cure progressing?
It isn't, without Dr. Walker.
I thought we had an understanding.
You take care of the lab work, and I will
take care of everything else.
I'm afraid you didn't square
the circle on that one, Constance.
Plans are in motion.
My security team will be going down to
- retrieve Dr. Walker very soon.
- And I'll be going with them.
I'm afraid that's
a non-starter, Alan.
We can't allow anything
to happen to you.
Dr. Walker is a member of my team.
I need to guarantee her safety.
I'm sensing you have
some trust issues.
If I don't go, no one goes.
Suit yourself. But you will have
an armed escort at all times.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Perimeter alert.
Perimeter alert.
Perimeter alert.
Miksa.
- What the hell are you doing here?
- You mean alive?
Miksa!
You even feel like him.
- Who the hell are you?
- He says you think your name is Daniel.
Your name is Miksa.
You were taken from us as a child.
Listen, I don't know
who you think I am...
I've been searching
for you my entire life.
- My brother.
- What is this? What are you trying to pull?
Don't look at me. She's got another one
exactly like you back home.
Your brother, your twin!
Tulok.
Impressive.
But I can use Photoshop too.
Take him to Isolation.
I'll deal with her.
Attention. Code 197. Level G.
One, two, three, four.
Four steps to the table.
One, two, three steps to the cabinet.
Ah! One step to the cart.
Gotta remember that.
Dr. Hatake?
Is that you?
Peter?
Nice to see
you've made yourself at home.
Hiroshi, who is Julia Walker?
- Why haven't you mentioned her?
- Why would I?
You briefed us that poor dead
veterinarian, Doreen...
Walker seemed unimportant.
Dr. Farragut seems to think
she's the exact opposite of unimportant.
- She's his ex-wife.
- Ah,
nepotism. Is that his reasoning?
Perhaps.
And what is yours?
Recruiting.
I have files on all CDC scientists.
So she is important.
I chose not to recruit her, so no,
I don't believe so.
A difference of opinion then.
Good. Human Resources problems
I can understand.
I'll tell you what, Hiroshi,
I will personally arbitrate
Dr. Walker's importance
or lack thereof when I go down
to Level R and pull her out.
Where is she?
She's in a lab we set up for triage.
R-17.
Hiroshi.
Let's not forget which side you're on.
Access granted.
Ever use one of these?
Recently.
Dr. Farragut.
You want to come with us?
Take the gun.
Scheduled cleaning, Level B.
Do you really think you can trust them?
No, but you saw what happened
when we went down there alone.
All these guns around...
Might as well
use them to get what we want.
Go get Julia,
please, so that we can all go home.
Balleseros.
Doctor Farragut!
- Hey, hey, hey!
- Doctor Farragut!
- Please! Stop! Stop it!
- That man killed Dr. Boyle!
The army en...
You killed a member of the CDC
who's trying to find a cure
for this virus? I promise you,
I will make this man pay.
You have neither the time
nor the wherewithal
to handle this right now. I do.
- This is not your concern.
- No, but if my men handle this,
that puts you back in the lab faster,
and that is very much my concern.
Give me a minute with the prisoner, and get
ready for Level R insertion and retrieval.
- Ma'am.
- Dismissed.
***.
What was that for?
You murdered 25% of the workflow
we need for the cure.
How about I kill 25% of you?
Come on, Constance.
Ms. Sutton.
What am I paying you for?
- Virus. Cure.
- Wrong.
That is what Ilaria pays you for.
I, on the other hand,
tasked you with finding me proof
that Hatake has gone off the rails.
The last time you checked in,
you said you were on to something.
Sorry to disappoint you. I've been
a little busy trying not to get killed.
So you have nothing... except excuses?
And a perforated spleen.
You created the Hatake situation.
Don't you blame me for your mess.
That's why I like you, Serge.
You're either very brave
or very... very foolish.
Apparently, both.
A brave fool is still a fool.
So, are you gonna take these off,
or am I still in a time-out?
I need Alan as an ally.
Releasing you will be the quickest way
- to screw that up.
- You're kidding, right?
- Do I ever kid?
- So I stay?
So you stay. Plus, I'm not sure
you would survive an encounter
- with that Daniel character.
- Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Oh, now, if I were you,
I would think that my...
soft kisses...
...are all the vote I needed.
Lieutenant Klein!
Throw him in Isolation.
Access granted.
Dr. Walker.
Where were you?
What happened here?
- Was it the other scientists?
- No, a vector.
Are you hurt?
It was here, right in front of me,
ready to attack,
and then it just...
and then... it just stopped.
Dr. Walker, you look... better.
Alive. Healthy. Possibly going crazy.
All of the above.
This is wonderful.
Yeah, except for the crazy part.
Could do without that.
I'll need to draw blood.
Run diagnostic tests.
I've already done all the tests. There's
no sign of the virus. The only thing-Ah!
Ah, my eyes hurt!
There's something happening
to my eyes. Everything's blurry.
Sit here.
Let me get you some bandages.
Close your eyes.
Are you okay?
Level E.
My sit-reps indicate these
vectors are fast and strong?
- Level F.
- Like nothing you've ever seen.
And the others?
Human. Suffering prolonged
and fatal cellular breakdown
- due to the NARVIK-A strain.
- Level E.
Or not suffering at all.
You said there were
healthy people down there as well?
There were.
Now I don't know.
Level R.
Perez, take point.
Clear.
Lab R-17?
This way, I think.
- You heard the man. Let's go.
- Roger that.
Can you walk?
Yes. Why?
- We need to leave this place.
- Why?
There is a woman coming
down here to kill you.
- What are you talking about?
- I'll explain everything,
but right now, we need to leave.
- Does Alan know about this?
- He's coming down with her.
- Alan would never...
- He doesn't know what she's capable of.
I do. You have to come with me.
- No. I want to wait for Alan.
- If you do...
you'll die.
You have to trust me.
Julia...
please.
Okay.
Access granted.
Alan, wait a moment.
Make entry.
Single shots, no bursts.
Dr. Walker's precious cargo.
On my mark.
Ready. Breach!
Look out!
Full retreat! Let's go! Go!
Fall back!
- Philip's down!
- Leave him.
I have to find Julia.
She's not in there.
She's one of them now.
- I'm not leaving her down here.
- How is getting yourself
infected or killed gonna help her?
I don't know, but I can't
leave her behind.
We have to get back upstairs. Then
we come back down with more security,
bigger numbers.
Otherwise we're sitting ducks.
Duck!
I'm going to find Julia.
You still don't understand
how this works, do you?
- Get to the elevator.
- I just saved your life.
And I am extremely appreciative, but
right now I have to protect my investment.
By putting a bullet through it?
Go ahead.
If it's the difference
between shooting you now
and shooting you later when
you're one of them, then fine,
although I will need
to put a bullet
through young Sarah as well.
Loose ends.
Let's escort Dr. Farragut
back up to Level B,
- please, Lt. Klein?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Why here?
- No cameras.
Father took that.
Father?
He's dead. Mother too.
- And what did you call me?
- Miksa.
It was our grandfather's name.
And why should I believe you?
Any of this?
Why would I lie?
- Dr. Hatake has many enemies.
- Hatake?
He's responsible.
He's the one that stole you,
- along with the others.
- The others?
Thirty-one children over the years.
Do you remember any of them?
There were always children here.
I thought it was normal.
What happened to them?
I don't know.
Maybe you didn't want to know.
- Where are we?
- Upstairs.
You are safe.
Daniel?
- What's the meaning of this?
- Don't.
Just don't.
And you are?
His sister.
The one you left behind
when you stole him from his family.
Dr. Walker,
these men will escort you
back to the lab.
Take these.
You'll need them.
- Go. You'll be fine.
- What about you?
I'm not sure.
Dr. Walker.
Julia!
- I'm...
- Get her out of here.
The floor is secured for now.
We should be safe up here.
Level B.
Elevator locked.
I've just sacrificed my own men for you.
Now it's your turn.
- Run along and find me that cure.
- Well, what about Dr. Walker?
Oh, Alan. She's one
of those things now, or dead.
I don't know which is worse.
Oh, my God.
Jules. Jules.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were...
Look at you.
Your symptoms are gone.
I'm cured.
At least, I, uh,
I mean... I think I am.
- How?
- I don't know.
Look at me.
Jules.
