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.
Meaning that Axel is living proof of their experiment.
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.
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?
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 Popcorn's current location?
33.693578...
Still in the same location as seven hours ago.
Good.
But they might start moving again
like they did when we were at Delta Medicinal.
Hey, your face is red.
Do you have a fever or something?
It could be a symptom of Hapna.
My body temp is...
all good!
Okay, then.
They've started moving!
The gloves are off now.
We'll chase them to the ends of the Earth if we have to.
When was that?!
All right.
Thanks.
I just got word that 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 Eleina?
Is the army chasing them?
That seems to be the case.
We're getting very close to uncovering something
they don't want us to know about.
That's for sure.
Time is of the essence. I'm going to talk with them in person.
Wait, talk to who?
The army?
Do me a favor.
A man will be visiting here shortly. Give him this letter.
Um, sure.
What man?
Dunno.
What's the deal?
Aw jeez! I don't even get a "hello"?
Bring it!
Trigger-happy bastard.
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 pick a fight.
Where's Hersch?
I can't get ahold of her.
She said she was going to see the army.
What? She went to INSCOM?
Here, she told us to give you this.
Hold up.
Who even are you?
Oh, my apologies.
I'm Abel Anderson,
the founder of Lazarus.
You know him?
No way!
Is this for real?
What is going on?
What's the matter?
Aren't you here to kill me?
Then you better hurry,
or I'm gonna slip through your fingers.
I'm not falling for that again!
Well, this is a surprise.
To what do we owe the honor of your visit?
I hate beating around the bush,
so I'll get straight to the point.
Tell your men in Pakistan to stop pursuing my team immediately.
My men in Pakistan? I don't follow.
Otherwise, I'm ready to leak
everything we know about you that you don't want the public knowing.
And what could you possibly know about us?
Enlighten me.
Eyman Prison.
Axel Gilberto.
Is this a guessing game?
If so, I'm going to need more clues.
It's not clues that you're lacking.
It's a body.
We know INSCOM secretly used death row
and life-sentence inmates at Eyman Prison
as human guinea pigs to conduct experiments with a new drug.
All of them died.
And, naturally, there are no records of any of this.
However, there was one problem.
A body was missing.
Not only did an inmate survive the experiment,
but he also escaped from the prison.
That's this "Gilberto" fellow you mentioned earlier?
Gosh, what a tale!
I'm shocked to learn the NSA would fall for such clearly fake information.
You must really care about your subordinates, Ms. Hersch.
Here's hoping that Axel Gilberto has many years ahead of him.
I see how it is. The entire world in on the lookout 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 following mine in Pakistan.
Right now.
I'm very sorry to say this,
but it seems that we have to detain you here for the time being.
On the grounds of, well...
I guess something like treason.
I see you're finally showing your true colors,
2nd Lieutenant Schneider.
A shame it had to come to this.
Good grief, talk about reckless.
What does the letter say?
Hersch has most likely been detained at INSCOM headquarters.
She apparently went there hoping to stop their men in Pakistan,
but no news from her at this point means that...
negotiations have failed.
Oh no!
So, is Hersch in trouble?
Hey, 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.
I'm sending you the footage now.
Axel?!
I thought he went to protect a witness.
Who's the guy fighting him?
If I had to guess...
an assassin sent by the U.S. Army.
I'm not sure.
We have absolutely 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 minutes.
Say, Eleina.
If we actually find Skinner and things go back to normal,
what are you going to do first?
Could be anything. Even a small thing.
Hmm...
Oh, I think I wanna eat a Big M from M Burger.
Oh yeah? You like those?
No way, they're super gross.
But every so often, I get a strong craving for one.
Well, I happen to like them unironically.
Sorry...
We've got somebody on our tail.
I'll hang back and stall them here.
Can you keep going and find Popcorn by yourself?
But...
From here on out, you're the only one who has
any chance of finding Skinner's location.
I gotta play the badass sometimes, ya know?
Wait, don't get me wrong! I'm not planning on dying out there.
I'm just going to buy time for you by pretending to turn myself in.
Oh...
Okay.
I've heard the rumors.
A phantom assassin who remains cloaked in mystery
because everybody who's ever seen him is dead.
In fact, there was entire troop of INSCOM soldiers
who got wiped out recently.
Probably his handiwork.
Permission to use an assault rifle, sir.
You're cleared to use everything.
Hold up! I want to come with you!
No, Leland, you have to hold down the fort.
The rest of us need this place to come back to, okay?
I'm leaving to try and rescue Hersch.
You're in charge here, Leland.
Yes, sir.
Chris!
Promise me...
that you'll bring Axel back.
Count on it.
The other one is gone!
You sonuva...
Why are you laughing?
Aren't you afraid of death?
You have no idea how many times I've almost died.
Death is like an old friend of mine at this point.
It's the same for you, ain't it?
Axel!
They're on the other side?
Wait!
Please wait!
That's it!
Wait!
Mad Screamer?
Huh?
Well, shit.
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...
Please tell me!
I know the Hundun had those holes bored into its face...
but what happened to it afterwards?!
Axel?!
AXEL!
