Narrator: Previously on Helix...
Free me.
You need to leave here
as soon as possible.
We're not gonna run.
Anana, if you scatter to the wind,
you still have a fighting chance.
To live forever
is to die 10,000 times.
We are talking
about immortality.
But there's so much that's
happened that we can't explain.
(Choking)
Hatake: She doesn't
have much time.
You believe you can save her?
No, but Julia can.
(Peter shrieking)
(Lights buzzing)
(Footsteps approaching)
(Panting)
(Beeping)
(Squeaking)
Ah!
(Woman screaming)
(Cell phone vibrating)
System voice: Access granted.
(Disks beeping)
(Monitor beeping steadily)
(Weakly) Alan.
No, don't get up.
You need to rest.
I'm fine.
You had a spinal tap.
All right? You had more
than a sample's worth of
cerebrospinal fluid
taken out of you.
Your body needs
to replenish itself.
When you put it that way...
How is Sarah? Did you do an mri?
Yeah, and it's...
It's incredible.
Her tumor is shrinking.
So it worked?
I thought you'd be thrilled.
I am. It's just...
Given the circumstances,
I hope we did the right thing.
It was a quick call,
but it was the right one.
I can't explain the science
behind your transformation, yet.
But what you
did for this girl...
I want to do for everyone
who's infected on this base.
You cannot give everybody a
csf infusion, it'll kill you.
The genetic study Sarah was
doing before she crashed...
My cells are going to be the key to
finally taking down this disease.
We can save these people, Alan.
All right. But we need
to work smart and fast.
The ilaria problem will not
go away,
and I have no idea how
much time we have left.
(Knocking)
Set up a temp lab in here.
Go, I'll keep an eye on Sarah.
Is everything all right?
I'm afraid not. We have
a serious problem.
A medical emergency?
Is someone hurt?
Worse than that, I'm afraid.
People are disappearing.
Dr. kato went out
to look for some food.
We warned her not to go alone,
but she wouldn't listen.
That rat didn't crawl
in there by itself.
The vectors are back. What?
We haven't had a vector
attack in two days.
Yeah. They're using bait,
setting traps now.
They know food is scarce
and people are desperate.
How? Viruses are not capable
of complex thought.
Speaking off the cuff,
I think these vectors represent a
new step in evolutionary virology.
You make it sound like
it's a good thing.
Far from it.
This is an evolved virus
that both changes
the host and stays activate
until that host
dies of other causes.
It's created a new kind of
organism a viral collective.
They were dangerous before.
What chance do we have
now that they have evolved?
(Vector shouts)
(Theme music playing)
Right now the vectors
are hunting us one by one.
Very soon, I believe they'll stage
a large-scale coordinated assault.
They will have to wait in line.
Ilaria?
I intercepted the message from
headquarters on Sutton's phone.
How many? A strike team
of at least 100
mercenaries, well-armed.
That's not a strike team,
it's an army.
How long do we have?
Six hours at most.
They will storm the base,
looking for the virus,
and leave nothing behind.
But we don't
even have the virus.
We destroyed it back at Echelon.
(Sighs)
Mortal life means
nothing to them.
Oh, as opposed to those of
you who can live forever?
I know this
is difficult for someone
with a finite number of years...
I don't know what's worse,
that you can stand there
lying to my face,
or that you actually
believe what you're saying.
Did you get a headcount?
Uninfected personnel, about 20,
plus five security techs.
And we're not exactly well-stocked
with guns or ammunition.
If we don't act now,
we risk full contamination.
We need to gather
those 20 survivors
and place them under
armed guard in the sun room.
No air ducts.
One point of access.
It's the only way to defend against
a coordinated vector assault.
That only solves
one of our problems.
How are we supposed to muster a
defense against ilaria's force?
Defense is not the plan.
Hatake: I have placed
explosives around the base.
You have explosives?
To detonate unstable ice.
His grand plan? We draw
ilaria mercenaries inside,
then set off the charges, implode
the entire base on top of them.
But what about my team?
What about the other
uninfected scientists?
The vectors? Gather the
uninfected, as you suggested.
As for the vectors,
we are out of options.
And you still haven't
answered my question.
What about the rest of us?
Daniel: We'll have to
evacuate the base.
No. There is a hidden
bunker underneath the base,
reinforced for earthquakes.
We will be safe there.
Daniel: What bunker?
We lost three people
just this morning
drs. Kato, wenk, and singer.
Vectors are in the ducts, they're
in the elevator shafts everywhere!
Listen. The only way
a vector can get into this
room is through that door.
Peter came in through
that very same door.
Not with armed security
posted he didn't.
Isn't it the "arm" of security that
got him inside in the first place?
Philippe, Philippe,
listen to me.
All right...
I think we got a message
out calling for help.
All right? You're the only other
person who knows about this,
so you help me
hold it together here,
and we may just
get out of this alive.
All right, Alan.
(Growling)
You've entrusted me
with the safety of this base.
Why would you keep
this bunker from me?
There are things I thought
would never come to light.
So you're only telling me
now because you have to.
I should have told you.
Even if we survive the blast,
how do we dig ourselves
out afterward?
There is an escape tunnel that
leads directly to the surface.
An escape tunnel?
For all the earthquakes, right?
Daniel, I...
I mean, miksa.
The world is closing in on us.
You mean on you.
The vectors are hunting us
from within,
ilaria from without.
I cannot do this without you.
(Monitor beeping steadily)
I'm giving the highest-caliber
weapons to my security team.
The rest we can store
in this bunker of yours,
in case there are any mercenaries
left when we reach the surface.
Let's hope it does
not come to that.
I remember when you
first brought me here.
Taught me how to load a weapon.
I was five or six.
Back then I used to think
you were some kind of wizard.
All children must learn their
parents are fallible, not perfect.
You made that part easy for me.
You may loathe what I've done,
or what you believe I've done...
But you are still my son.
Am I?
Your feelings for me do nothing
to diminish mine for you.
Alan, take a look at this.
So, the double-stranded
rna instructions
delivered to all my cells
makes them express
an all-purpose grappling hook.
Which would
attach to any invader.
Right, marking that invader for
destruction by my immune system.
If we can isolate
the genetic sequence
of instructions to express
that protein on your cells...
We can insert
those instructions,
and reprogram the narvik
virus to destroy itself.
But we don't have the narvik virus.
We incinerated it at Echelon.
Oh, *** it, Jules.
It was my call all the way.
This wasn't your call to make!
I had a theory. A theory that
could get us all killed,
not to mention the seven billion
other people on the planet!
Do you have any idea what you've done
by bringing this back to the base?
I know better than anyone
what this virus can do.
I also know that it's the only way we
can help those seven billion people.
How could you be so reckless?
You're no better than hatake!
I guess
I'm my father's daughter.
Jules...
I know I'm right about this.
We can save everyone.
We can get Peter back.
If I'm wrong,
I'll march downstairs
and incinerate every last drop.
No. Not alone you won't.
Oh, my God.
(Whimpering)
(Cutting)
The bunker will
barely fit all of us.
Bunker?
These are living quarters.
How long has all this been here?
From the beginning.
Designed to be the safest
place on the base.
Why?
Why did you build it?
Before I adopted you,
there was another.
Another son?
A daughter.
She was not like you,
not born on the ice.
So... you built this
place for your daughter?
Her mother thought she would
need a place to call home,
to make her comfortable.
I did what was necessary.
To fool her?
To make her think that
she was somewhere else?
To keep my family together.
(Scoffs)
I thought I was your family.
You are.
What was doesn't change what is.
And where are they are,
your wife and daughter?
Where did they go?
My daughter is here now.
Julia Walker.
Walker?
So all of this,
everything that happened,
was all for her,
to bring her back here?
The CDC, Peter farragut...
All those people,
infected, dying, dead!
It was all for her?
She is important.
I need her. You
don't need anybody.
We're all just
an experiment to you.
Life is an experiment.
(Scoffs)
You know what
I'm gonna do, father?
I'm gonna walk this base,
and I'm gonna check every
*** explosive charge,
because I personally want to make sure
that this place gets blown to hell.
(Indistinct speaking)
I did the computer models of the
double-stranded rna proteins,
but I can't
get it to work in vitro.
Well, if you guys unhook me
from this, I can help you.
Yesterday, you were
as good as dead, all right?
Let's make sure you're not
going to regress before we...
But I feel great.
Sarah, we have it covered.
Do you?
Because computer models are really only
most effective in controlled environments,
and this situation is
anything but controlled.
Okay. What do you have in mind?
In a fair fight, narvik will mutate to
repel anything we throw at it, right?
So, what we need
is an unfair advantage.
We have to trust that our
treatment will work fast enough.
No, wait, that's it.
There is no treatment
that's fast enough,
so what we need to do is slow down the virus
long enough for the cure to take effect.
And we can do that by
infusing it with cryo-fluid.
Did you just come up with that?
Actually, when my feet
hit the cold ground.
Now, where are my clothes?
I want to get back to work.

We need to seal off the sun room
and track down duchamp
and the others.
There is no more time.
Julia: The vectors
really did this?
The intelligence,
the coordination...
Are we the only ones left?
I've got four techs
not infected, yet.
This was their plan all along.
The traps, the bait.
The vectors wanted us to gather
the uninfected in one place,
and we gave them
everything they wanted.
We cannot afford to look back.
We should commence the
evac sequence immediately.
No, no, there is still time.
Our only hope is to retreat
to the bunker and wait,
then eliminate both
threats with one blast.
So everyone else dies?
We have done all we can.
No. We've finally
cracked the anti-viral,
and until ilaria get here,
we're going to help
everyone we can,
including vectors.
You need to ask yourself,
are they worth saving?
That's an interesting question
considering the source.
The have murdered and maimed,
stolen the lives of others.
These are people, human beings!
Really?
Your brother paid me
a visit yesterday.
Only now do I understand why.
It was a warning.
He knew what they
were going to do.
I should have put Peter
down when I had the chance!
(Alan shouts)
Enough! That's enough!
In the last 11 days, I have been
attacked, infected, left for dead,
and crated like an animal!
Not to mention being transformed
from the inside out.
I'm not gonna
stand here and watch
my father and my ex-husband behave
like two schoolyard bullies.
Your father? What...
(Sighs)
The vectors are
working together.
If we can't manage that, maybe
we don't deserve to survive.
The infection
is similar to rabies.
Normally, we would treat it by
coating the lymphatic tissue.
With an oral vaccine, of course.
Do you just expect them
to line up and say, "ah"?
No. We do it old-school,
bypass the mouth entirely
by way of an intramuscular
injection into the stomach.
Abdominal absorption
works slowly.
Not if you've bonded the
right protein accelerants.
It won't be immediate,
but it should work quickly.
(Vector shrieking in duct)
It better.
We know that extreme cold slows the
virus, and likewise the vectors.
Dr. Jordan had the idea
of infusing the cure
into an ultra-low
Temperature solution,
giving the anti-viral time
to outperform the virus.
(Rat squeaking)
And how do you plan to get close
enough to inject the vectors?
We've done it before.
We'll shut off the power,
chill the base
down to below freezing.
If we cut the main power supply,
the perimeter alert
system will go dark.
We can't be blind with
ilaria a couple hours out.
Then the cure must be administered
one vector at a time.
(Sighs)
It's too bad we can't just wheel these
out and douse them all cryo-fluid.
Maybe we can.
It's called arca,
Indonesian for "statue."
It's a prototype to spread topical
antidotes for chemical attacks.
Arca can harness most
compounds at any temperature.
All you have to do is
adjust the settings.
I was not aware
of this research.
What lab did this come from?
No lab. It was just
an idea I had.
You created this... arca?
One man's scraps...
What the base discarded,
I repurposed.
How did I not know?
You had more
important things to do.
So, who's gonna do the honors?
Julia and I will go.
When ilaria arrives, you must
lead the survivors to the bunker,
then detonate the charges.
(Faint yelling)
(Woman screaming)
(Vector roaring)
Julia: Now!
(Peter shrieking)
Please.
I think it's working.
It is because of you
that this is possible.
Oh, no, this is not
father-daughter bonding time.
(Vectors shrieking)
I thought we were
immune to attack.
We are. But now they see
one of their own in danger.
(Vectors grunting)
(Vectors grunting)
Hey. Hey.
We need to get these patients stabilized
before we take them downstairs.
I've started grouping
them according to condition.
The most serious cases
are gonna go down first.
Great.
You okay? Sarah. Ah, it's...
It's just a headache. No, look at me.
Follow my finger.
(Sighs)
Alan, do you think this is a
reoccurrence of my tumor?
No, I've seen your scans,
and your tumor appears
to be in remission.
But I am concerned.
Don't worry. We'll figure
this out together.
Okay? Okay.
Hey.
Shh, it's okay. You don't
need to say anything.
Why...
Because you need rest.
Why me?
I don't...
Deserve.
You were there. I had the cure.
Good timing, I guess.
Peter's resting.
We need to talk.
Okay. It's about Sarah.
What about Sarah?
She's having recurring symptoms.
Nausea, headaches.
Do you think she's relapsing?
I don't know, but once we
get down to the cabin,
we won't have access
to the right equipment.
(Alarm blaring)
System voice: Perimeter breach.
Perimeter breach.
This is it. Ilaria is here.
Perimeter breach.
Perimeter breach.
Start getting people
to the cabin now.
Okay. Perimeter breach.
Perimeter breach.
Perimeter breach.
Perimeter breach.
Perimeter breach.
The alarm was tripped a mile
from the base entrance.
Is that enough time to
get everyone downstairs?
We can use firepower to buy
us a little more time.
I see something.
Headlights.
How many?
They are here.
Wait until they get closer!
We don't want to waste any ammo!
Steady.
Steady.
Almost there. Now hold.
Hold...
And...
Why'd they stop?
Perhaps they did not
want to be heard.
Daniel: I'm not seeing anyone.
My guess...
Is they'll stick
to the high ground
just north of the base, and
coordinate an attack from there.
We should make our way around,
come at them from the South.
Approach downwind
from their position.
Where'd the drivers go?
There never was a driver.
These are drones.
This is... This is all wrong.
(Beeping) No! Get down!
Ah!
It was a diversion!
A diversion for what?
Alan: As soon as duchamp and his
group get here, we'll blow the base.
My staff... The scientists.
Almost all here.
You don't understand.
We must detonate.
Now. He's here.
Who's here? What do you mean?
The strike team?
No. There is just one.
That diversion was for one guy?
They call him... The scythe.
Hatake: He is...
Daniel: He's what?
An assassin.
The worst of us.
(Door alarm buzzing)
Mon dieu.
The call must have gone through.
Are you with the army?
Come. We are going
down with the others.
Finally, a good day.
We are being rescued and we
have a cure for the virus.
(Door buzzer buzzing)
(Door buzzes)
System voice: Level r.
How long are we gonna wait?
As long as we have to.
If they're not down here
by now, they're not coming.
(Sarah groaning)
Sarah. You okay?
Oh, this migraine,
it's killing me.
It's not a migraine.
What's wrong with me?
Daniel: We can't
wait any longer.
Do it.
(Beeping)
(Beeps)
(Beeps)
Amateurs.
The narvik is gone.
How?
Hiroshi has it. Find him.
What about the others?
Exterminate.
(Happy instrumental music)
