00:24You holdin' up okay?
00:25I'm fine.
00:27You know, I can handle this.
00:28I sound fine.
00:39If you think I'm letting you handle explosives after that,
00:41you're hallucinating.
00:44Hand it over.
00:53Nice work, Clark.
00:55The first one kills the building's security system,
00:58and the second one destroys the database.
01:05That wire goes to the second board.
01:12You try to get up again, and I'll kill you.
01:18The way I feel, you may not have to.
01:24Now that I finally caught up with you,
01:27mind telling me what you think you're doing?
01:35It looks like we got something in common.
01:42Clark, you gotta trigger the second bomb.
01:43If you're not going to die yourself,
01:47you're gonna kill me.
01:59You're not gonna kill me.
02:03I'm not gonna have to do this.
02:03You're not gonna kill me.
02:04You're not gonna kill me.
02:04Don't do that.
02:04Don't do it.
02:11Come on!
02:43That was a big mistake.
02:44And now you've really pissed me off.
02:53We've got to pull out.
02:54The corporal's down.
02:55We've got to go now.
02:56Right.
03:06We all know I'm dying.
03:08Nobody gets left behind.
03:09We protect our own, at any cost.
03:35We've got to go now.
03:43We've got to go now.
03:52We've got to go now.
04:28Oh, be quiet, you big pussycat. Looks like a giant hickey.
04:33Yeah, well, trust me, it looks like a lot more fun than it actually was.
04:37What the hell were you doing on your own? You could have called me on the comm link.
04:40Oh, I'm sorry. I was too busy having the life choked out of me.
04:45So they were ferals, huh?
04:48Yep. I was doing all right with the first two until the Human Mountain showed up.
04:53That big, huh?
04:54At least.
05:04You know, Emma was right. She picked up a telepathic transmission from a renegade pack of new mutants.
05:09Renegades with a serious grudge against Tricorp Botanicals, huh?
05:18No. No.
05:21Hey.
05:22Hey.
05:22Hey.
05:23Come up with an answer for why these guys have an Infra-Track Corp?
05:26Not yet.
05:27No, all right. I got another question. Who are these guys?
05:29I mean, we've just gone through the entire new mutant database.
05:31We can't find anybody who matches the description that you gave us.
05:35I don't know what to tell you, Adam. They were new mutants. And the one who nailed me could have
05:40doubled for Mount Everest.
05:41All right. But are there any other distinguishing characteristics?
05:44You mean aside from the guy being a seven-foot giant?
05:46Yeah.
05:47Well, the woman who took me on, she was a professional. I mean, she had combat training.
05:52Hmm. Military?
05:54Definitely. And she called the wounded guy corporal.
05:57Any insignia on their clothing?
05:58No. But they did have the same tattoo on their wrist. A red disc with a black five-pointed star
06:04in the middle.
06:06Hmm. Does it look anything like this?
06:11What's it?
06:13Dark Star. An international anti-terrorist unit fielded by Interpol.
06:18I mean, I know these bad boys. They make the Navy SEALs look like a Saturday afternoon paintball club.
06:23Yeah, but look. Dark Star doesn't exist anymore.
06:28According to this report, they were all killed in a South American drug war firefight two months ago.
06:35Okay. So we've got to figure out how three members of an elite combat unit listed as killed in action
06:40suddenly turn up with new mutant abilities.
06:45I'm concerned, Dr. Harrison. This operation was supposed to be tightly contained.
06:51I completely agree. But it seems Dark Star refused to lay down and die.
06:57Well, nine of them seem to have complied.
06:59And I'm guessing the three survivors were responsible for the attack on Tricor last night.
07:04Really?
07:06And your security branch was able to drive them off?
07:09Security branch? My security team can barely tie their shoelaces.
07:15We're in the agribusiness. Security has never been a major issue. Until now.
07:21A welcome to my world. I'll assign my staff to take over your security effective immediately.
07:35Goodbye, Corporal.
07:39I promise I get these people who did this to you.
07:46You know, that woman at Tricor, she's like us.
07:52She's not like us.
07:53You know what I mean. Her eyes, they have that same glow.
07:58And she matched me, head to head.
08:00Maybe there's others like us, too.
08:03To hell with that.
08:04This is war.
08:06I'm a warrior.
08:08And if we die,
08:09we take our enemies with us.
08:11So,
09:12Send a link that'll tell us where they might be holed up.
09:15Whatever connection there is between Tricourt Botanical and Darkstar is directly related to what happened to them in the jungles
09:21of Bogota.
09:22All right, then why don't you dig around in the Tricourt database?
09:28How about this, Adam?
09:32Specialist Sergeant Angel Dorn's father owns an abandoned engine plant at Westhaven.
09:40Good. That's it.
09:42I'll send Shalamar and Venom.
09:44You two stay here and research Tricourt.
09:58Careful. They're ferals.
10:02If I can hear them, they can hear us.
10:05Trust me, I can handle myself.
10:07We're talking about a really big guy.
10:10Yeah, you know, I think you made your point, all right?
10:12Let's not forget I have the element of surprise.
10:15You will save your energy. You're gonna need it.
10:18Yeah.
10:22Come on.
10:38Turn it off, Sparky, or we'll kill you now.
10:48We're just here to talk.
10:50People who just want to talk don't make that kind of entrance.
10:53I've just got a dramatic streak, okay?
10:55You know, we're all on the same side here.
10:57Then why did you interfere with us at Tricourt?
11:00Because when new mutants go on a crime spree, you put all the rest of us in danger.
11:04What the hell is a new mutant?
11:06Come on. Children are genomex?
11:08I'm an elemental. She's a pharaoh like you two.
11:10We don't know anything about any children of genomex.
11:13What we know is that Tricourt murdered my squad and turned us into freaks.
11:19Freaks.
11:22Well, we certainly know how you feel.
11:27Well, genomex is definitely a silent partner in Tricourt Botanicals,
11:31but beyond the business relationship,
11:33I couldn't dig up anything you might call dirty in their database at all.
11:38Yeah, and we also know that genomex's involvement doesn't necessarily mean anything.
11:42Yeah.
11:44The only thing of interest was this.
11:46It seems to be their primary research project.
11:49It's beautiful.
11:51All right. That's the link we were looking for.
11:54It's a plant called Rafflesia prese.
11:58Apparently it's extremely rare.
12:00Only 12 or so plants are known to exist in the world.
12:02And the hydroponic garden at Tricourt Botanical has three of them housed in the greenhouse.
12:09Why am I not surprised?
12:10The Rafflesia prese is a genetically engineered parasitic plant
12:14which spends most of its life as a thread-like infection strand within a host.
12:20Yeah.
12:21What's the big deal with this plant?
12:22All right. In the early days of DNA research,
12:26we were humbled to learn that the genetic difference between a human being and yeast
12:31was a single strand of code.
12:33So we all looked for a link between the animal world and the plant world.
12:36And the Rafflesia prese project was a misstep that Genomex made
12:40in their attempt to manipulate human DNA.
12:44The 25-year growth cycle of anything to do with the problems?
12:47Exactly. I thought the project was dead a long time ago.
12:50I guess they just put it aside until the next 25-year cycle came along.
12:53And we have to assume that Dark Star's attack on Tricourt has something to do with it.
12:57So listen, why don't you two coordinate your efforts,
12:59see what you can find out about what Tricourt may be up to with this project now.
13:02Okay?
13:08Dark Star is an incursion drop team.
13:11Was.
13:14Three months ago, we were assigned to a search-and-destroy mission
13:18in the rainforest outside of Bogota
13:20to take out a landing field serving the cartels.
13:23As always, we had what we figured was a usual run of vaccinations.
13:30But something started happening right away.
13:34And a few of us began getting stronger
13:36while most of our squad became horribly ill.
13:42My people were dropping like flies.
13:49And that was before the cartel soldiers
13:52had us surrounded and under fire.
13:57Over there!
14:06I tried to call it in, but we got no response.
14:09The only way we survived was to head deeper into the bush.
14:23A matter of days, only Angel, Corporal Render, and I were alive.
14:29We buried our fallen comrades and...
14:33expected the same fate for ourselves.
14:40Instead, we developed incredible new abilities.
14:44We managed to take a prisoner, a cartel drug soldier.
14:47He told us it was Tricor Botanical Reps who set the whole thing up
14:51to test a new serum and to gauge our abilities to defend ourselves.
14:56They were human-like rats.
15:00And their tests killed my squad.
15:03Except Bow and me.
15:09Must have been all those shots before you left.
15:12They had to have been testing some kind of process on you without your knowledge.
15:15Yeah, then they dropped you into what they figured was a controlled environment to observe you.
15:18What they didn't count on you guys getting out.
15:21What they didn't count on was the Dark Star takes care of his own.
15:27Yeah, also do pharaohs.
15:30Among new mutants, we're a breed apart.
15:37As you can see, the small man is clearly stricken.
15:40Yes.
15:41And the big man, Lieutenant Longstreet, is it?
15:46So he looks to be the living incarnation of Nietzsche's dictum.
15:50What does not kill you will make you stronger.
15:55We've passed the 90-day mark on the tests.
15:58Chances for survival at this point increase exponentially.
16:01Then I'd say we're on the verge of success.
16:03I wouldn't go that far.
16:06Nine of our 12 subjects have died.
16:08We only need one survivor to achieve the results we desire.
16:12And assuming Lieutenant Longstreet does live, all we need is a sample of his DNA to take this to the
16:17next step.
16:17To genetically alter a human being into a new mutant.
16:25My people should be just about in place to bring Lieutenant Longstreet in for his interview now.
16:34Okay, there's four basic types of new mutants.
16:36There's elementals like me, psionics, freaks, and params.
16:41You have lived with this all your life.
16:44What, you mean my new mutancy?
16:47Yeah.
16:49But I gotta tell you, it's nice knowing you're not alone.
16:55So you're two, um...
16:58Teammates.
17:02Teammates.
17:05I let my team down.
17:08It wasn't your fault, Beau.
17:10Ten of my best people.
17:12They used them as human guinea pigs.
17:17I have to make sure
17:19they didn't die in vain.
17:29We've got company.
17:32Sounds like
17:34six men coming from the north side.
17:37Two more in the back.
17:38I'll take the back.
17:39You guys get the rest.
17:42How'd they find us?
17:43Probably the same way we did.
18:14I don't know what to do.
18:57Hey, come on. We gotta jam. At least a dozen agents out there, maybe more.
19:01I have to get corporal random.
19:02Come on, there's no time. Let's go.
19:04We make time.
19:05Oh.
19:12Where's he going?
19:14Where's he going?
19:35Oh.
20:20How long has she been like this?
20:21About an hour.
20:24You know, I get the feeling from what they told me.
20:26This is what happened to all the other members of Dark Star.
20:31What's she doing?
20:32She's stable. Her vital signs are strong.
20:34But it's the blood work that I'm concerned about.
20:36Here, take a look.
20:43Her blood cells are trying to fight off a serum
20:45derived from a hybridized plant called a raflicia prese.
20:52They just tricked these poor bastards.
20:55They thought they were getting malaria vaccinations.
20:58It's the same kind of lies they told your parents, right?
21:01Parents of all the children of Genomex.
21:03Yeah, but these guys thought they were volunteering to serve their country,
21:05not participate in some freaky genetic experiment.
21:08Another example of the kind of power Mason Eckhart has.
21:11Why, we've dedicated our lives to keeping that power in check.
21:19Adam gets the living, and we get the dead.
21:23I'm afraid your GS agents went in with a trifle too much self-confidence.
21:26Which would have been completely justified if not for the annoying presence of Adam's people.
21:32Well, at least they were able to return a test specimen to us for future study.
21:35Although I'm far from confident in your ability to wring answers from a corpse.
21:41I'm afraid you're probably right.
21:43Our best hope for a successful resolution to this experiment is a living subject.
21:47Since only two possible Kennedys remain alive, I've got my agents scouring the city.
21:53Our latest data would indicate the woman, Sergeant Dawn,
21:57who appears to have been stricken with the same pathological illness that's killed the others.
22:01Well, that means that unless Lieutenant Longstreet survives, you're in a great deal of trouble.
22:13I promise you, if anyone can help her, it's Adam.
22:19I believed in my superior officers.
22:23Look where that got me.
22:25Yeah, but it's not like that with Adam, Bo.
22:28Is he one of you? One of us?
22:30You mean a new mutant?
22:32No.
22:34Adam made it possible for us to survive, which Unimax had done to us.
22:39And he's led us on a campaign against the people who experimented on you.
22:43Tricor Botanical.
22:44Tricor Botanical is just another public face for the genetic security agency.
22:52I'm a good soldier.
22:55It's all I've ever wanted.
22:57To my duty, the best I can.
23:00But you didn't sign up to be experimented on without your consent.
23:04To be turned into some rogue warrior for the GSA.
23:10Lieutenant.
23:13How is she?
23:15Her condition's stable.
23:16She's resting comfortably.
23:18She's going to die like the others?
23:21I'm doing everything in my power to keep that from happening.
23:27I believe that you and your squad were secretly injected with a serum derived from a hybrid plant called the
23:35Rafflesia Prese.
23:38The serum killed my man.
23:40This killing angel.
23:45Did this to me?
23:46Yes.
23:47Can you save her?
23:50Well, creating an antidote is theoretically possible, but I'm going to need the plant to do it.
23:56The plant of Tricor?
23:58Yes, exactly.
24:00I want you and Jesse to break in there and give me the plant.
24:02Absolutely.
24:04But we're not going in there alone.
24:07Bo's coming with us.
24:10We need him to do the job.
24:17We need him to do the job.
24:46We need him to do the job.
25:12The feral thing's not half bad.
25:14Budge might get to like it.
25:20I got it.
25:56I got it.
26:20Not exactly your regular garden variety, is it?
26:41We've got company.
26:45Bona will take care of these guys.
26:46Gotta get the planet Adam.
26:48Yeah.
27:28Yeah.
27:29Yeah.
27:36Yeah.
27:37Yeah.
27:38Yeah.
27:44Yeah.
27:59Yeah.
28:01Yeah.
28:02Yeah.
28:04Yeah.
28:05Yeah.
28:06Yeah.
28:07Yeah.
28:10Yeah.
28:10Yeah.
28:11Yeah.
28:20Yeah.
28:39Yeah.
28:39Yeah.
28:39Yeah.
28:41Yeah.
28:56Yeah.
28:58Yeah.
28:59Yeah.
29:00Yeah.
29:01Yeah.
29:05Yeah.
29:28Yeah.
29:33Yeah.
29:37Yeah.
29:40Yeah.
29:51Yeah.
29:55Yeah.
29:56Yeah.
29:56Yeah.
29:56Yeah.
29:56It's just a complete examination to find out precisely why what killed the other seems
30:00to have thrived in Lieutenant Longstreet.
30:03I'm concerned by your concerns, Dr. Harrison.
30:08It's just the scientist in me.
30:10It's all about control.
30:15I'll join you in the examination room to observe the procedure.
30:51This process took a lot longer than I thought.
30:55How are our vital signs?
30:56Well, our white cell count is fluctuating, but everything else seems constant.
31:00All right, good.
31:01I've isolated the culture from the rufficia pre se.
31:06Next up is develop the antigen.
31:27You'd think someone would notice I was missing.
31:30Shalimar? Where the hell are you?
31:32I'm at Genomex.
31:35I don't know how long I can talk, so just listen.
31:37They've got Beau in an examination lab. I'm gonna bust him loose.
31:40I need you to bring the Helix to get us out of here.
31:42No, no, you need to get the hell out of there now.
31:44I'm not leaving Beau.
31:46He wouldn't leave a team member and neither will I.
31:48Just be ready to get us out of here.
31:51Hey, Anna. Yeah?
31:52Just heard from Shalimar. She's inside the GSA.
31:58Have you made any progress in learning precisely why Lieutenant Longstreet survived the experiment?
32:03We're getting there.
32:06We can only move so fast, Mr. Eckhart.
32:10The sample of blood taken from the late Corporal Randall has proven an invaluable tool.
32:15By comparing the two DNA structures, we've managed to isolate the precise strand of genetic material responsible for Lieutenant Longstreet's
32:22longevity.
32:23Fascinating.
32:24Then it's true, most great medical advancements point to pathology.
32:28Well, we'll soon find out.
32:32I believe with the Rafflesia pre se we've got on hand, we should be able to start the next phase
32:36of the operation.
32:37If you are correct, we are on the verge of creating new mutants.
32:43Obedient and subservient new mutants.
32:48Completely at the service of your will.
32:50Enough to conceivably make the children of Genomex unnecessary.
32:54In the greater scheme of things.
33:08Well, I guess all we can do now is wait.
33:11Yeah, well, I still think I should have gone with Jesse.
33:14Well, you heard Adam.
33:16He said he needed two of us here to assist.
33:18Okay, well then why didn't Jesse stay?
33:21Come on, Shalimar needs more than Jesse's massing and phasing to get her and Beau out of there in one
33:25piece.
33:26Well, if you were as close to Shalimar as Jesse is, then I'm sure you'd understand.
33:54It's not enough time.
33:56What are you doing?
33:58Trying to save her life.
34:04Come on, Angel, come on.
34:09It's not working!
34:13Okay, three's a charm.
34:14Come on.
34:15Come on, Angel.
34:23I guess it worked.
34:25Oh, hey, hey, relax.
34:26You're gonna be safe.
34:29Where am I?
34:30We've been taking care of you.
34:32You're gonna be okay.
34:33Where's Beau?
34:34Shalimar's bringing him here.
34:36Okay, everything's gonna be all right.
34:37You've been through a lot.
34:39Easy, easy.
34:39We're not gonna hurt you.
34:42It's okay.
34:42We're friends.
34:44Take my hand.
34:47It's okay.
34:48Come on.
34:51Good.
34:53Sit down.
34:59What's going on?
35:01Angel's heart stopped, but I didn't manage to revive her.
35:06You're good.
35:07You were here.
35:08You okay?
35:10Good.
35:11Here, save your strength.
35:12Come here.
35:14Come here.
35:14You got an idea?
35:17Now that Eckhart has Beau, I'm guessing that security's gonna be lax at Tricorp Botanical.
35:23What do you say?
35:25Let's do it.
35:48Well, this may come as a surprise, Dr. Harrison.
35:51I'm not a particularly optimistic man.
35:56That said, I have to admit the work you've done here gives me hope for a brighter future.
36:02Thank you, Mr. Eckhart.
36:03Thank you, Mr. Eckhart.
36:03That's awfully kind.
36:05To complete our research on this subject, I'll inject him with a drug that will permanently paralyze his brain function.
36:15Is that really necessary?
36:16I'm afraid so.
36:17There's no telling how strong his mutant abilities have become.
36:32You look a little bit sleepy.
36:35It's time for you to take a nap.
36:37Now, let's not do anything rash.
36:56This is how we're gonna play this.
36:57We start by showing a deceased soldier some respect.
37:03Beau!
37:09You don't want to do this.
37:11Why?
37:13There's nothing to go on for.
37:16That's not true.
37:23My squad is gone.
37:26That's not true.
37:30You got a new squad now.
37:36A new pack.
37:50Oh, you should have seen it, Jesse.
37:52I thought Eckhart was gonna explode.
37:53I mean, touching him must have been bad enough, but taking Eckhart hostage in a headlock?
37:57I gotta tell ya, it made for a very smooth exit.
38:00But I gotta know, were you awake the whole time you were on the table?
38:04I woke up when they started poking me.
38:07But one thing I've learned with this feral stuff is turning pain away.
38:12And you're right.
38:14It's a lot easier knowing that you're not alone.
38:19Tell me about it.
38:23Angel.
38:24Angel.
38:28Easy, big guy.
38:31Some of us aren't as feral as others.
38:33Baby.
38:35You sure she's gonna be okay?
38:38Better than okay.
38:39You guys are both one of us now.
38:41New mutants.
38:43Ferals.
38:44To be exact.
38:45You got that right.
38:47What about the experiment?
38:49The experiment was a failure.
38:51As for Tricor Botanical, they got some problems of their own.
38:57Right, Brennan?
38:59Absolutely.
39:02Now that we've cornered the market on the Rafflesia Precet.
39:06As I said, Dr. Harrison, I am not by nature an optimistic man.
39:14The reason is simply that I cannot bear the disappointment that is so frequently the result of heightened expectations.
39:23I have always subscribed to the adage, hope for the best.
39:32And expect the worst.
39:34I understand that, Mr. Eckhart.
39:37I also understand that the trauma of your experience yesterday, along with the loss of Lieutenant Longstreet, must be very
39:44difficult to accommodate.
39:46But we still have the Rafflesia Precet.
39:50Is that right?
39:54I gather you haven't checked in at your office this morning.
39:57No.
39:58I came directly here.
40:00And you haven't heard about the security breach last night.
40:15Preliminary laboratory analysis indicates that the last specimen was destroyed by an application of high-voltage electricity.
40:24It's most likely the work of Brennan Mulray.
40:28It's one of Adam's people.
40:32Perhaps we could accelerate the growth rate.
40:36Take some time off that 25 years.
40:38Who knows where I'll be in 25 years.
40:41But I have a good idea where you'll be.
41:07When onto Massive
41:09Wait for me.
41:15Right here.
41:32This is how it should be to all our fallen heroes who fought with honor and died with
41:40grace. I know your squad would be really proud of what you've done. I hope so. Angel and I, we...
41:55We don't know how to thank you. We don't have to.
42:10We don't have to.
42:40We don't have to.
