Short filmTranscript
00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to my general hospital official channel. I hope everyone
00:04is having a wonderful day. Before we begin, please hit the subscribe button and give this
00:09video a thumbs up. The air in the hospital corridor was a specific kind of sterile,
00:14smelling of antiseptic, floor wax, and an underlying, unnameable tension. It was a smell
00:20Anna Devane had become all too familiar with over the past few weeks, a scent that clung
00:24to her clothes and her memory. Today, however, it felt different. It felt heavy, charged
00:31with a dread she couldn't quite place. She walked slowly, her hand trailing against the
00:36cool, painted cinderblock wall, a gesture of both support and a desperate need to feel
00:41something solid, something real. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, a monotonous drone that
00:46seemed to sink with the frantic, yet muffled, beating of her own heart. She was heading
00:51back to her room after a session of physical therapy, her body aching with a profound weariness
00:56that sleep never seemed to cure. The doctors called it fatigue, a common side effect of
01:01her, condition. They used careful, clinical language, words designed to comfort and obfuscate
01:07in equal measure. Unexplained neurological episodes, metabolic fluctuations, anomalous cellular activity.
01:15To Anna, it felt less like a medical condition and more like a slow, insidious unraveling.
01:20One moment she was the formidable, sharp-witted former WSB agent, the head of the PCPD, the
01:26next, she was a prisoner in her own body, betrayed by limbs that wouldn't obey and a
01:30mind that sometimes felt like it was wrapped in thick, suffocating cotton. It had started
01:35subtly. A tremor in her hand she'd attributed to too much caffeine. A sudden, dizzying spell
01:42in the middle of the police precinct, which she'd blamed on low blood sugar. Then came the
01:47gaps in her memory, moments where she would lose minutes, sometimes hours, only to find
01:52herself in a different location with no recollection of how she got there. The final straw was the
01:57collapse, a full-body seizure that had left her unconscious on the floor of her own home.
02:02Finn, ever the vigilant son, had found her. The panic in his eyes when she woke up in the
02:08hospital was a mirror of the terror she felt clawing at her own throat. General Hospital had
02:13become her world. The world outside, the scheming of Port Charles, the dangers posed by Pikeman,
02:19the daily operations of the police department, had all faded into a distant, muffled reality.
02:25Her world was now this corridor, this room, these tests. So many tests. Blood draws at all hours,
02:32MRIs, CT scans, spinal taps that left her with a throbbing headache for days.
02:37They were searching for an answer, a pathogen, a toxin, a genetic marker, anything that could
02:43explain the rapid and bizarre deterioration of a woman who had always been the picture
02:46of strength and resilience. As she reached her room, she saw Finn standing just outside,
02:52deep in conversation with Dr. Britt Westbourne. Their body language was tense, a closed-off circle
02:58of professional concern that sent a fresh chill down Anna's spine. Finn's brow was furrowed,
03:03his arms crossed tightly over his chest. Britt was gesturing with a patient chart, her expression grim.
03:10Just doesn't align with any known presentation, Britt was saying, her voice low. The protein markers are
03:17aberrant. It's as if her cellular metabolism is being rewritten in real time. Finn ran a hand
03:24through his hair. There has to be a trigger. A poison, an environmental factor, something. The body
03:32doesn't just decide to do this. Anna cleared her throat softly, and both doctors turned,
03:38their faces instantly smoothing into masks of professional calm. It was a transformation she
03:43had grown to despise. Anna, Finn said, stepping forward and taking her arm gently.
03:50How was PT? Exhausting, she admitted, allowing him to guide her back into her room and into the bedside
03:56chair. It feels like I'm trying to command someone else's body. The signals get lost somewhere between
04:03my brain and my muscles. Britt gave her a small, sympathetic smile. We're going to figure this out,
04:11Anna. We're running more specialized panels. We've sent samples to a specialized lab in Switzerland.
04:18They have equipment we can only dream of. Switzerland? Anna asked, her interest peaked
04:25despite her fatigue. What are they looking for? It's a long shot, Finn interjected quickly,
04:32a little too quickly. They specialize in identifying novel synthetic compounds.
04:38Things that wouldn't show up on a standard toxicology report. The way he said synthetic sent another,
04:44deeper tremor of fear through her. Synthetic implied design. It implied intent. For weeks,
04:52she had been grappling with the possibility of a random, cruel twist of fate, a rare disease,
04:57a genetic time bomb. The idea of a deliberate act, of a poison tailored specifically for her,
05:03was a different kind of horror altogether. Later that evening, after Finn and Britt had left,
05:09Anna was alone with her thoughts. The setting sun cast long, distorted shadows across
05:14the room, turning the familiar medical equipment into monstrous silhouettes. She tried to read a book,
05:20a mystery novel she'd brought from home, but the words swam on the page, their meaning elusive.
05:26Her mind kept circling back to the conversation she'd overheard. Aberrant protein markers.
05:32Rewritten cellular metabolism. Synthetic compounds.
05:37Her training, the instincts she had honed over decades in the field,
05:41began to stir from their medically induced slumber. This wasn't just an illness. This had the
05:47fingerprints of something else, something calculated. She thought about her enemies.
05:53The list was, unfortunately, long. Her work with the WSB had left a trail of vengeful individuals and
06:00powerful organizations. Her current work with the Pikeman investigation had put a target on her back.
06:06But who would go to these lengths? This wasn't a bullet or a bomb, it was something far more insidious,
06:13something designed to dismantle her from the inside out, to make her suffer, to make her a puzzle that
06:18even the best doctors couldn't solve. A soft knock on the door pulled her from her dark reverie.
06:24It was Valentin Cassidine. He looked tired, his usual impeccable suit jacket slung over his arm,
06:31his shirt sleeves rolled up. In his hand, he held a brown paper bag from the hospital cafeteria.
06:38I come bearing gifts, he said, his voice a low, warm rumble that was oddly comforting.
06:43Or, more accurately, a marginally edible turkey sandwich and a cup of tea that has likely been
06:48steeping since this morning. Anna managed a genuine smile.
06:52Valentin. You didn't have to.
06:57Of course I did, he said, pulling a chair up beside her.
07:01I can't stand the thought of you here alone, subsisting on jello and worry.
07:06He unpacked the sandwich and the tea, setting them on her bedside table.
07:10His presence was a solid, grounding force in the swirling uncertainty of her room.
07:15She took a small bite of the sandwich, her appetite non-existent, but touched by his gesture.
07:20They're sending my blood to Switzerland, she said quietly, watching his reaction.
07:26Valentin stilled.
07:29Switzerland?
07:30Why?
07:32Finn thinks it might be a synthetic poison.
07:35Something designed not to be detected.
07:38The color drained from Valentin's face.
07:41He leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his hands clasped tightly together.
07:46Anna, that's.
07:48Terrifying, she finished for him.
07:51Yes.
07:52It is.
07:54It means someone has gone to a great deal of trouble to do this to me.
07:58This isn't an accident, Valentin.
08:01This is an attack.
08:03His jaw tightened.
08:05I've had my own people looking into your recent cases, your movements.
08:10I've found nothing.
08:11No suspicious characters, no forced entry at your home, no tampering with your food or drink.
08:18It's as if this agent appeared out of thin air.
08:21Or was administered in a way I would never suspect, Anna murmured, her gaze drifting to the window,
08:26to the twinkling lights of Port Charles coming to life in the dusk.
08:30A letter?
08:31A letter?
08:31An item of clothing?
08:33An aerosol?
08:35The possibilities were endless, and each one felt more violating than the last.
08:41Valentine was silent for a long moment, his expression darkening with a storm of thoughts.
08:46There is a, a disturbing precedent for this, he said finally, his voice barely above a whisper.
08:52A history my family would rather forget.
08:55Anna turned to look at him, her heart hammering against her ribs.
08:59The Cassidines?
09:01He gave a slow, grim nod.
09:04My family's legacy is not just one of wealth and power, Anna.
09:08It is also a legacy of, experimentation.
09:12Of pushing the boundaries of science into very dark places.
09:16Migos, in particular, was obsessed with control.
09:20Not just control through fear or finance, but direct, biological control.
09:25He funded black ops research into targeted biological agents.
09:29Things that could incapacitate, manipulate, or eliminate a target without a trace.
09:35They called it the silent sanction program.
09:38A cold knot tightened in Anna's stomach.
09:41The Cassidy name was synonymous with villainy in her world, but this was a new layer of depravity.
09:47You think this is connected to that?
09:50I don't know, Valentine admitted, his voice heavy.
09:54The program was supposed to have been dismantled decades ago.
09:57The research destroyed.
10:00But secrets have a way of resurfacing, especially Cassidyne's secrets.
10:04And you, my dear Anna, have been a thorn in the side of that family for a very, very long time.
10:10The pieces were beginning to form a horrifying picture.
10:14Her illness wasn't random.
10:16It was a sophisticated, scientific assault.
10:19It was a Cassidyne-style revenge, updated for the modern era.
10:24No dramatic declarations of war, no mustache-twirling villains tying her to railroad tracks.
10:30Just a silent, invisible weapon working its way through her bloodstream, corrupting her neural pathways, turning her own body into her torturer.
10:39The next few days were a blur of escalating fear and deepening mystery.
10:42The results from Switzerland came back, and they were as baffling as they were terrifying.
10:48The lab had identified a novel chiral compound bonded to her red blood cells, a substance unlike anything in their extensive database.
10:56It was a designer molecule, incredibly complex, engineered to interfere with mitochondrial function and neurotransmitter production.
11:03In layman's terms, it was slowly shutting down her body's energy production and scrambling the signals in her brain.
11:11It was, as Finn explained with a voice trembling with a mixture of rage and horror, a masterpiece of malicious science.
11:18The treatment was palliative at best.
11:21They tried chelation therapy to strip the compound from her blood, but it was too deeply integrated into her cellular structure.
11:27They tried a cocktail of powerful neurostimulants and metabolic boosters, but the effects were short-lived, and the side effects were brutal.
11:36Anna felt herself fading, a little more each day.
11:39The world took on a hazy, dreamlike quality.
11:43She had vivid, terrifying hallucinations, shadows moving in the corners of her room,
11:47the faces of nurses morphing into the sneering visage of Nico's Cassidine,
11:51the sound of her own heartbeat echoing like a drum in a vast, empty cavern.
11:55During a moment of lucidity, she found herself gripping Finn's hand with a strength she didn't know she still possessed.
12:02Finn, she whispered, her throat raw.
12:05This isn't medicine.
12:07This is, this is an experiment.
12:10They're not trying to cure me.
12:12They're observing.
12:14Finn's eyes widened in alarm.
12:17Anna, no.
12:19That's the paranoia talking.
12:21It's a symptom.
12:22We are trying everything we can to save you.
12:26But she saw the flicker of doubt in his eyes.
12:29He was a brilliant doctor, and he knew that her theory, while born of delirium, was not entirely without merit.
12:36The compound's behavior was unprecedented.
12:40Its resistance to conventional treatment was instructive.
12:44It was as if they were all participants in a live trial, with Anna as the unwitting subject.
12:48The real breakthrough came from an unexpected source, Damien Spinelli, hacker extraordinaire and loyal friend.
12:56He visited her one afternoon, his usual exuberance subdued by the sight of her in the hospital bed.
13:02He brought his laptop, a modern-day night with his digital shield.
13:05I've been digging, elusive one, he said, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
13:12Following the digital breadcrumbs.
13:14That lab in Switzerland?
13:17It's not just any lab.
13:19It's a front.
13:21A very sophisticated, very well-funded front.
13:24Anna propped herself up on her pillows, a spark of her old self-igniting.
13:29A front for what?
13:30Spinelli's face was illuminated by the cool blue light of his screen.
13:35The financial trail is a labyrinth of shell corporations and offshore accounts, but the jackal,
13:40in his infinite cyber-wisdom, has pierced the veil.
13:44The funding for that lab, and for the research that likely produced this, this molecular monstrosity,
13:49it all leads back to a single, shadowy holding company.
13:53He paused for dramatic effect, his eyes meeting Anna's.
13:56A holding company that is a subsidiary of a larger conglomerate, which was, until very recently,
14:02a major, silent investor in a certain pharmaceutical research division,
14:05a division that was quietly purchased and absorbed six months ago by...
14:10He took a deep breath.
14:12The Cassidine Group.
14:14There it was.
14:16The final, damning piece of evidence.
14:19It wasn't just a relic of Mikos's old research.
14:23It was active.
14:24It was current.
14:26And Valentin's own company was involved, whether he knew it or not.
14:31The shock of the revelation was like a bucket of ice water.
14:35It cleared the fog from her mind for a precious, painful moment.
14:39This was bigger than a personal vendetta.
14:42This was a testing ground.
14:44She was the proof of concept.
14:47If this compound could take down a highly trained, physically fit former agent like Anna Devane,
14:52who was also under the constant care of top-tier medical professionals, then it was a formidable weapon indeed.
14:58It could be used against politicians, activists, rival business leaders, anyone who stood in the way of Cassidine interests.
15:05They could be incapacitated, driven mad, or killed, and it would be diagnosed as a rare, untreatable illness.
15:12The perfect, undetectable crime.
15:15Spinelli, Anna said, her voice gaining a new, steely strength.
15:19I need you to get a message to Valentin.
15:23And to Robert.
15:25Tell them, tell them it's the silent sanction.
15:28They'll know what it means.
15:30The following hours were a whirlwind of clandestine activity.
15:35Robert Scorpio, her oldest friend and former partner, arrived at the hospital, his face a granite mask of fury and determination.
15:42He was briefed by a frantic Finn and a pale Valentin, who was reeling from the implication that his own corporate empire had been weaponized against the woman he loved.
15:51This ends now, Robert growled, the authority of a former WSB director in his voice.
15:56We're not treating a disease anymore, we're countering a hostile act.
16:01We need the antidote.
16:04And to get an antidote, we need the source.
16:07Valentin, his Cassidine cunning now fully engaged, began pulling strings from the shadows.
16:13He used his contacts, his wealth, and his intimate knowledge of his family's Byzantine corporate structure to apply pressure.
16:20He initiated a hostile internal audit of the research division, freezing its assets and demanding all project data.
16:27It was a dangerous game, one that could get him killed, but the look of sheer devastation on Anna's face had stripped him of all caution.
16:34Meanwhile, Robert and Spinelli worked on a parallel track.
16:38Using the data Spinelli had extracted, they identified a lead researcher, a brilliant but amoral biochemist named Dr. Eris Thorne, who had been the head of the project.
16:47He had gone to ground after the compound was deployed, but no one can truly disappear from the combined forces of the WSB and the world's greatest hacker.
16:56They found him in a safe house just outside Albany.
17:00Robert, with a team of his most trusted operatives, brought him in.
17:03The interrogation was short and not particularly sweet.
17:08Thorne, faced with the prospect of spending the rest of his life in a maximum security prison with no hope of parole, quickly folded.
17:16He confirmed everything.
17:17The project, codenamed Arachne, was indeed a revival of the old silent sanction program.
17:24Anna Devane had been selected as the primary field test.
17:28She was considered a high-value, high-resilience target, perfect for stress-testing the compound's efficacy.
17:34Most importantly, he gave them the biochemical sequence for the antidote.
17:40It was a counteragent, a messenger RNA strand that would instruct her cells to produce enzymes that would dismantle the synthetic compound, breaking it down into harmless, excretable components.
17:50The antidote was synthesized in a secure, WSB-affiliated lab and flown to General Hospital under armed guard.
17:57The moment it arrived, the atmosphere in Anna's room shifted from one of despair to one of breathless, terrified hope.
18:04Finn, his hands steady despite the monumental pressure, prepared the injection.
18:09Anna looked around the room at the faces gathered there, Finn, his eyes full of a son's love and a doctor's fervent hope,
18:14Robert, the brother of her heart, his jaw set with grim determination,
18:18Valentin, his love for her painful, open wound in his gaze,
18:21and Brit, the consummate professional, ready to monitor every vital sign.
18:26This is it, Anna, Finn said softly, holding the syringe.
18:30This should reverse the process.
18:32It will likely be, intense.
18:36Your body will have to purge the toxin rapidly.
18:39She gave a slight, weak nod.
18:42She was beyond fear now.
18:44She was ready for the fight, ready to reclaim her body, her mind, her life.
18:49She met Valentin's eyes and saw the unspoken apology there.
18:54She gave him a small, forgiving smile.
18:56This was not his fault.
18:59The sins of the Cassidine family were a burden he carried, but he had proven, time and again, that he was not one of them.
19:06As Finn administered the antidote, a warm, strange sensation spread from the injection site up her arm.
19:12For a moment, nothing happened.
19:15Then, it was as if a circuit that had been dead for weeks suddenly flared back to life.
19:20A jolt of purer, undiluted energy shot through her.
19:24Her back arched off the bed as a seizure, this one a violent, purging catharsis, racked her body.
19:30Monitors screamed in alarm.
19:33Finn and Brit moved with practiced efficiency, stabilizing her, supporting her through the storm.
19:39It felt like her very cells were at war.
19:42Fire and ice raced through her veins.
19:45The hallucinations returned, more vivid and terrifying than ever,
19:48a spiderweb of darkness shattering in her mind's eye,
19:51the ghost of Miko's Cassidine screaming in silent furious as creation was undone.
19:55She could feel the corrupting compound, like a slick, oily film coating her nerves,
20:00being forcibly stripped away, dissolved by the microscopic cavalry now coursing through her.
20:05The process felt like an eternity, but in reality, it lasted only a few minutes.
20:10When the convulsions finally subsided, Anna collapsed back onto the pillows,
20:15drenched in sweat, gasping for air.
20:17But the air felt different.
20:20It felt clean.
20:21The oppressive, cottony fog that had filled her head for weeks was gone.
20:26The constant, low-level pain in her joints had vanished.
20:30Her mind was her own again, sharp, clear, and terrifyingly aware.
20:35She blinked, her vision focusing on the concerned faces leaning over her.
20:40She took a deep, shuddering breath,
20:42the first full, unlabored breath she had taken in a month.
20:45Anna?
20:47Finn's voice was tentative, hopeful.
20:49She looked at him, and for the first time in what felt like a lifetime,
20:53her smile was not an effort.
20:56It was real.
20:57It was Anna.
20:59I'm here, she said, her voice hoarse but steady,
21:02filled with a strength that had been stolen from her.
21:05I'm back.
21:07The relief in the room was palpable,
21:09a physical force that seemed to push back the walls of the hospital room.
21:13Robert let out a choked laugh, clapping a hand on Finn's shoulder.
21:16Valentin sank into a chair, burying his face in his hands,
21:21his shoulders shaking with the force of his emotion.
21:24But as the immediate crisis passed, a new kind of tension settled in its place.
21:28The battle was won, but the war was far from over.
21:33Anna was alive, but she had been used.
21:36Her body had been a battlefield, a laboratory.
21:38The violation was profound,
21:41a psychic wound that would take far longer to heal than her physical one.
21:45She was no longer just a patient.
21:48She was a victim, a witness, and now, most dangerously, the one who had survived.
21:54She knew the truth.
21:56The Cassidines, or at least a faction of them,
21:58were not just playing with money and power anymore.
22:01They were playing with the very building blocks of life,
22:04weaponizing biology itself.
22:06And they had chosen her to be their test subject.
22:10As the days turned into a week, Anna's recovery was remarkably swift.
22:15The antidote had worked perfectly,
22:17flushing the last vestiges of the compound from her system.
22:21Her strength returned, her coordination restored.
22:24She was herself again, but she was also someone new.
22:27Someone who had stared into the abyss of modern scientific warfare
22:31and seen her own reflection.
22:34Sitting in a chair by the window,
22:35finally dressed in her own clothes,
22:37she looked out at the city of Port Charles.
22:40It looked the same, but she knew it was not.
22:43The familiar skyline now had unseen threats,
22:46the ordinary citizens below were potential targets
22:48in a war they didn't know was being waged.
22:51Valentin entered the room quietly.
22:54The car is ready whenever you are, he said.
22:57She turned to him.
22:59It's not over, Valentin.
23:02I know, he replied, his voice grim.
23:05Thorne is talking, but he's a foot soldier.
23:09The people who gave the order, who greenlit this project,
23:12they are still in the shadows.
23:14My internal audit has hit a wall.
23:17Powerful people are protecting this secret.
23:20Anna stood up, her posture straight, her gaze steady.
23:23The former agent was back, and she was angrier than ever.
23:28Then we will drag them into the light.
23:31They made a fatal error, Valentin.
23:34What error was that, he asked.
23:37They tested their weapon on me, Anna said,
23:39her voice low and dangerous.
23:41And I survived.
23:43Now I know their playbook.
23:46I felt their weapon.
23:48And I will spend every last breath I have making sure that no one else ever has to go through what I did.
23:54This silent sanction ends here.
23:56It ends with us.
23:58She picked up her bag and walked out of the hospital room,
24:01not as a convalescing patient, but as a soldier returning to the front lines.
24:06The shock of what had been done to her had subsided, replaced by a cold, burning resolve.
24:11The animal testing was over.
24:14The subject had not only survived the experiment, she had learned from it.
24:19And now, she was coming for her captors.
24:22The real battle for Port Charles, a battle fought not with guns but with genomes,
24:26had just begun.
24:27The week in Port Charles takes a dark and shocking turn as Anna Devane finds herself at the center of a disturbing mystery that no one saw coming.
24:33The brilliant former spy, always on the side of justice and truth,
24:38now becomes an unwilling subject in a chilling experiment that could alter her life forever.
24:43What begins as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a psychological nightmare,
24:47one that blurs the line between science, manipulation, and revenge.
24:52Anna has always been strong, the kind of woman who could face down any threat.
24:57But lately, something feels off.
24:59Her instincts are clouded, her reactions are slower, and there's a strange, nagging pain she can't shake.
25:06It started with dizziness, then fatigue, then vivid dreams that don't feel like her own.
25:11When she confides in Valentin, his brow furrows in concern.
25:16Anna, you're not making sense.
25:19You're saying you're hearing things?
25:21Seeing flashes of images that don't belong to you, he asks quietly,
25:25his hand brushing against hers in an attempt to ground her.
25:29Anna looks up, her eyes glistening with confusion.
25:32It's more than that, Valentin.
25:35I can feel, memories, but they're not mine.
25:39Something's been done to me.
25:41At first, Valentin assumes it's stress.
25:43After all, Anna's been through hell recently, haunted by the WSB's betrayal,
25:49the secrets of her past, and the constant threats to her safety.
25:53But when a medical checkup reveals strange anomalies in her blood work,
25:56the truth begins to unfold in terrifying layers.
26:00Dr. Portia Robinson calls Valentin into her office, her expression grim.
26:05There's something very unusual going on, she says carefully, tapping the report.
26:09Anna's blood contains traces of a compound that shouldn't be in a human body.
26:15It's synthetic, something designed for advanced biological research.
26:20Experimental.
26:22Valentin's voice drops, icy and low.
26:25Are you telling me someone has been using Anna as a test subject?
26:29Portia exhales, nodding reluctantly.
26:32That's exactly what I'm saying.
26:35Meanwhile, Anna sits in the exam room, her hands trembling.
26:39Testing?
26:40On me, she whispers, the words tasting bitter and unreal.
26:45Who would do this?
26:47Portia hesitates before answering.
26:50Whoever it is had access to high-level lab resources.
26:54This isn't something done in a back alley.
26:57This is organized, precise, and deliberate.
27:01Back at Anna's home, Valentin pours her a drink as she paces restlessly.
27:04I thought I left all this behind, she mutters, her voice tight with fear and anger.
27:11Spying, manipulation, experiments, it's all coming back, isn't it?
27:16Valentin steps closer.
27:18Whoever's behind this, they underestimated you.
27:22We'll find them.
27:24Together.
27:26Anna stops and looks up at him.
27:28What if it's too late, Valentin?
27:31What if they've already changed me?
27:34Across town, at the hospital lab, Hamilton Finn and Elizabeth Weber discover that Anna's test
27:39results link to another confidential case, one involving a series of stolen research samples
27:44from the CDC.
27:46Finn's eyes widen as he scrolls through the data.
27:49This can't be a coincidence, he mutters.
27:51These compounds, they're the same ones used in neural adaptation testing.
27:57Originally meant for animal trials.
28:00Liz's jaw drops.
28:02Wait, are you saying what I think you're saying?
28:05Finn nods grimly.
28:07The project was shut down years ago because it was too dangerous.
28:12Now it looks like someone's revived it and they're using Anna as the subject.
28:16When Finn informs Anna, she's silent for a long moment.
28:19Then, in a barely audible voice, she says, they've moved from animals, to me.
28:26Valentin clenches his fists.
28:29Over my dead body.
28:31Anna looks away, tears forming as she whispers, that's exactly what they want, Valentin.
28:37They want to break me.
28:39The tension in Port Charles rises as the investigation deepens.
28:43Curtis and Jordan join in after learning that one of the shell corporations funding the
28:47experimental program is tied to the same network that once manipulated Drew Cain's memory mapping.
28:53Jordan meets with Anna privately at the Metro Court.
28:57You know this goes way deeper than anyone wants to admit, Jordan warns.
29:01These people, whoever they are, they're not just experimenting on you.
29:06You're part of something bigger.
29:07Maybe even a new version of the Chimera Project.
29:12Anna's eyes narrow.
29:14Then it's not just about me.
29:16It's about control.
29:19Meanwhile, Valentin reaches out to an old contact in the WSB, hoping for information, but he's
29:24stonewalled.
29:26Later that night, he confronts a shadowy figure on the pier.
29:30You know something, Valentin says, his voice sharp as glass.
29:34The man smirks.
29:35You don't want to dig too deep, Cassidine.
29:39What they've done to her, it's irreversible.
29:43Valentin lunges forward, gripping the man's collar.
29:46If she dies, so do you.
29:49In the hospital, Anna's condition worsens.
29:53She begins to experience blackouts and hallucinations, visions of a sterile lab, voices whispering
29:58commands.
30:00During one episode, she collapses in the hallway, crying out for help as flashes of cold metal
30:04tables and blinding lights flood her mind.
30:07Make it stop, she screams.
30:10Nurses rush to her aid, but she pushes them away, trembling.
30:14They're inside my head.
30:17Later, as Anna recovers in her hospital bed, Finn gently explains that the compound in her
30:21system may be altering her neurological responses.
30:25We're trying to flesh it out, he says softly, but it's bonded at a cellular level.
30:29It's rewriting your chemistry.
30:33Anna's voice cracks.
30:35So I'm becoming, something else?
30:38He doesn't answer, and that silence is worse than any words.
30:42When Valentin visits, she tries to stay strong.
30:46You shouldn't see me like this, she says weakly.
30:49He sits beside her, taking her hand.
30:53Anna Devane doesn't quit.
30:54You've faced death, betrayal, loss, but you've never surrendered.
31:00And I'm not about to let you start now.
31:02She looks into his eyes, her own filled with fear and defiance.
31:07Then help me fight it.
31:09Outside her room, Finn and Portia discuss their next move.
31:13If we can trace the molecular design, maybe we can find the lab it came from, Finn says.
31:19Portia nods.
31:20And if we find that lab, we'll find who did this.
31:23Let's get started.
