00:05Someone help!
00:06Move back, everyone! The boy isn't breathing!
00:08Lemmy, I can help.
00:10Boo-lamps? It could be an airway blockage.
00:21How did you know what to do?
00:22I save lives for a living. I'm a doctor.
00:28Hello?
00:29The VirusX project is entering its critical phase.
00:34We need you. I need you.
00:37I need to stay here and take care of my husband, Brock.
00:40It's been there for years.
00:42You walked away from the head of research.
00:44A physician everyone was vying for and gave up everything.
00:48My research was the reason Brock got exposed to this virus.
00:51I need to care for him.
00:52Especially when his symptoms can appear any day.
00:54I understand. But think about it.
00:57Think about what you deserve.
01:03Brock! What the hell is going on?
01:06You can see for yourself.
01:08We haven't slept together in three years, Della.
01:11What do you expect me to do?
01:13Celinda actually knows how to make a man feel wanted.
01:16She's a lot more fun than you.
01:18Celinda, you were my best friend.
01:20I didn't expect you to do something like this behind my back.
01:23Della, Brock's an amazing man.
01:26If you don't want him, why shouldn't I?
01:31Della!
01:32Don't forget.
01:33The hospital you work at belongs to my family.
01:36Don't bother.
01:37I'll resign tomorrow and I'll leave this house too.
01:39Let's get divorced.
01:42And one more thing, Celinda.
01:45Brock is infected with Virus X.
01:47That's why I avoided sleeping with him.
01:53Della! Get your hands off my son!
01:56Dr. John, he's showing classic Virus X symptoms.
01:59He needs to be isolated immediately.
02:01Dad, don't listen to her.
02:05We're separated.
02:07She's just making things up.
02:11Someone bring the stretcher!
02:19Since when did Junior Physician lecture me about imaginary virus?
02:22I still don't know what my son ever saw in you.
02:24Dr. John, she's fired today.
02:26This Virus X story is just her last stunt before her ass is out the door.
02:30You'd really sink that low?
02:31Inventing a virus to save your job?
02:33Dr. John...
02:34Enough!
02:35I won't hear another word from you.
02:37Get her out!
02:38Now!
02:40Contact Dr. Williams.
02:42Bring him to Fae-G.
02:43Immediately!
02:44Immediately!
02:56You wouldn't come to me.
02:59But here I am coming to you.
03:05Stop making things up.
03:07Stress and low oxygen will make it worse.
03:09Stop this nonsense!
03:12Security, throw her out!
03:13Virus X is primarily transmitted through sexual contact.
03:17You slept with him.
03:18Repeatedly.
03:23Full body convulsions.
03:25Chest pain.
03:25Jugular veins distented.
03:27All Virus X symptoms.
03:29Don't touch me!
03:30I know your filthy game.
03:33You're trying to scare her away from me.
03:35I'm actually trying to save your life.
03:37Yeah, right.
03:40Like you could save me.
03:43We're over.
03:44Get the hell out!
03:46Brock, listen to me.
03:48I'm really trying to help you here.
03:50What's going on here?
03:57Advanced Strain.
03:59Virus X.
04:00That's what we're dealing with.
04:01He's going to be okay.
04:03Right?
04:04You're the best, Harvey.
04:06You've got to fix him.
04:07I slowed the progression.
04:09The fever will break for a few hours and he will be up and about.
04:12But there's no cure for this type of strain.
04:15Not yet.
04:17Name your price.
04:20Whatever it takes.
04:21Just save my son.
04:23Money won't save him.
04:24But one person might.
04:26Our lead researcher since the start.
04:28Diane.
04:29Then find her.
04:31Use everything I have.
04:33I don't care where she is.
04:35I don't care what she wants.
04:38Bring her to me.
04:39Now.
04:42Where are you?
04:43I'm in Fiji.
04:44The hospital you're working at.
04:46A patient needs you.
04:47You mean, Brock.
04:49They threw me out, Harvey.
04:50You really think they'll let me anywhere near him?
04:53They will.
04:54Once they know who you really are.
04:57Diane.
05:01I'm giving my keynote speech day after tomorrow at the Fiji Marriott.
05:05Please, meet me there.
05:06Not as Della, but as Diane.
05:08Yeah.
05:26Invitation, please.
05:28I'm here to meet Dr. Williams.
05:29Everyone's here to see Dr. Williams.
05:31No invitation.
05:32No entry.
05:33Please step aside.
05:35Della?
05:37Unbelievable.
05:38You actually came back.
05:40Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is?
05:43This is an elite medical summit, not a soup kitchen.
05:47Don't make a scene.
05:48Just leave quietly.
05:50I know it'll be hard now that you're fired.
05:53Hey, kid.
05:54That's what you came for, right?
05:58What are you waiting for?
06:00She doesn't belong here.
06:02Get her out.
06:03I wouldn't do that if I were you.
06:06Is this a golden card?
06:11That's gotta be fake.
06:12There is no way she has VIP access.
06:17The invitation is valid, ma'am.
06:19My apologies for the delay.
06:20Please, this way.
06:24How the hell did you manage this?
06:26You stole this?
06:27Huh?
06:28Or did you sleep your way in with some old fart?
06:30Watch your mouth, Celinda, and get out of my way.
06:32Don't think you've won, Della.
06:34When Dr. Williams arrives, I'll have you blacklist from every hospital in the Pacific for this fraud.
06:40You want to expose me?
06:42Then you should brace yourself.
06:44Dr. Williams gave this invitation to me personally.
07:02Stop.
07:03She is a thief.
07:05She stole a VIP access to get in here.
07:07This woman was fired this morning for incompetence, and now she's stalking Dr. Williams.
07:12I'm Celinda.
07:13Who let her in?
07:14This is a medical summit, not a circuit.
07:18Dr. Williams, I'm Celinda.
07:20Brock.
07:21Her ex-husband, unfortunately.
07:23I know her better than anyone.
07:36I believe there's been a huge misunderstanding.
07:39She is the reason I am in Fiji.
07:51Dr. Harvey Williams!
07:53You must be mistaken.
07:55Or played by this slimy bitch.
07:57She flirted with security to get in.
07:59That's all this is.
08:01Your confidence is impressive given how little you actually know.
08:04The woman you just insulted understands medicine better than you ever will in your entire career.
08:10Without her, we may not be breathing longer.
08:13Virus X has already begun spreading.
08:19What a story!
08:21Almost convincing.
08:22But we're not idiots.
08:23And you're not Dr. Harvey Williams.
08:25Come on, can't you all see?
08:28He's a lying cheat just like her.
08:30He's as fake as her entire medical career.
08:33Did you see that?
08:35It is absolutely horrific.
08:39Dad!
08:40Perfect timing.
08:41Tell me.
08:42Tell this impersonator and his little tramp to leave before.
08:51You have no idea what you're saying.
08:55That man decides whether you survive.
08:57Dr. Williams, please.
08:59My deepest apologies.
09:00He does not speak for the Spencer family or this institution.
09:05So he's the real deal.
09:07Fine.
09:08How did she get the world famous doctor to lie for her?
09:11We all know the answer.
09:13She slept her way in.
09:15Not only for this, but for everything.
09:18She's a slut, a fraud, and a-
09:20Enough!
09:22I've listened to this long enough.
09:25You call her a clueless resident.
09:27You call her a fraud.
09:29The woman behind me didn't seduce her way in here.
09:32She is the reason you are all standing here.
09:35You've been searching for the lead researcher who first studied Virus X.
09:39The only person capable of finding a cure.
09:42Allow me to introduce her.
09:44She is not whoever this Della woman these people are talking about.
09:48She is Dr. Diane Reyes, the world's foremost virologist.
09:56Come on, Harvey.
09:58You really expect us to believe the world's most sought-after virologist was hiding out as a junior physician in
10:04my hospital?
10:05The legendary Dr. Diane Reyes? Her?
10:07I knew you were desperate.
10:08But getting a world-class doctor to lie for you?
10:11What did you have to do?
10:13Oh, my!
10:14I think very carefully before you say another word.
10:17You listen carefully, Harvey.
10:18I hired you to save my son.
10:20Fine!
10:21She's mysterious.
10:22Everyone knows that.
10:23But don't insult me by claiming this two-bit tramp is her.
10:28You have no idea who you were talking to, John.
10:31You're gambling with your son's life for the sake of your ego.
10:35No.
10:36You're gambling with his life!
10:38If she so much as lays a hand on my son, I'll have her charged with murder.
10:45See? I told you they don't want my help.
10:47We are wasting our time here.
10:50Look at her.
10:51Still pretending she's Diane.
10:53You've played everyone, Della.
10:56My son.
10:57The board.
10:58The hospital.
10:58Looks like even Dr. Williams.
11:02If you really are the legendary Diane, if you really are the only one who can treat Virus X,
11:08stop hiding behind Harvey.
11:10Prove it.
11:11Or you leave this room in handcuffs.
11:21We don't have all day.
11:23You haven't found Virus X because you've been looking in the wrong place.
11:26Virus X doesn't announce itself.
11:29It hides by mimicking our body's own proteins.
11:31That's absurd.
11:32We've run full temps multiple times.
11:35If there were a virus, it would have showed up.
11:37What you're describing sounds like science fiction.
11:39I've studied it longer than anyone here.
11:42I know how it behaves.
11:43It attacks in brutal sequences.
11:45Stage one.
11:46Severe nausea.
11:47Vomiting blood.
11:48You've already seen that.
11:50Stage two.
11:51In 48 hours, the patient will have difficulty breathing.
11:55Stage three.
11:56Total collapse.
11:57Internal bleeding.
11:59Then seizures.
11:59Because the brain is being starved of oxygen.
12:02Wait a second, girl.
12:03Brock has a cough.
12:05He's coughing up blood because he drinks and smokes like a chimney.
12:09Your son's going to be fine.
12:11Why are we even entertaining this?
12:13Enough of this.
12:15I've heard enough bad science fiction for one day.
12:18So you don't believe me, right?
12:22Five.
12:24Four.
12:25Three.
12:26What are you doing?
12:27Two.
12:28One.
12:32One.
12:35This is stage two.
12:37You have exactly two days before the brain damage becomes permanent.
12:43Do you still want me to leave?
12:56my son's tests were clean no virus no record of anything and now you've turned this hall into a
13:05circus sorry to break it to you john but diane's right this virus mimics our body's own proteins
13:11standard tests won't detect it until the host is already crashing i don't care about your your
13:16theories they're not proven i care about the consequences you two are making a very public
13:25statement so here's what's going to happen you cure this virus x or whatever you want to call it
13:32right now else i will personally ensure you both are behind bars but understand what you're really
13:40risking here this isn't just about your son anymore what are you talking about if brock dies it becomes
13:45global proof that virus x is real and if we fail to find a cure the world is entering a
13:51pandemic
13:59the antibodies aren't holding we have to go straight to the bone marrow that's reckless
14:04if we wait the brain damage becomes permanent it's too aggressive diane even for you you're
14:09trying to burn the virus out you'll burn the patient with it we stabilize first then we move
14:14we don't have that kind of time i've lived with this strain in my head for three years
14:20you've not changed one bit diana still impossible to argue with
14:25i just never understood why you walked away from the project and from me i've left because i was
14:31suffocating between the virus the pressure and rachel every idea i brought in she took credit
14:38every breakthrough she claimed it was luck and you let her i thought you were stronger than her petty
14:45games i didn't realize because you were too busy being the legendary dr harvey williams
14:50i chose brock because he saw me not my lab results my research papers turns out that was a lie
14:58too diane
15:01i never saw you as disposable diane i saw you as the only person who understood the world the way
15:07i did
15:08rachel was just noise you were everything

15:24we're locked in
15:29please tell me rachel didn't somehow cause this
15:32what how would rachel even be anywhere near this place relax i'm joking
15:51uh dr williams we've had a false trigger on the pressure valve quarantine lifted
15:56hey relax it's just a buffered saline sample
16:01that that was just adrenaline a high stress response is that what we're calling it a response
16:11we have work to do brock is still dying fine back to work but first coffee

21:23what's wrong do you need anything nothing we aren't going back to the hospital what
21:29john is expecting that hospital's a circus media everywhere there's brock family politics and
21:35leaks everywhere we can't control we'll be shut down before we finish a single run then where
21:40do we go this morning during the who briefing i got clearance a sealed containment lab off grid
21:47underground here in fiji i'll get our things shifted there no signals no press no interference
21:54only science you mean a covert lab i didn't think the government actually kept those active they do
22:00for moments like this it's the only way to save brock and find a cure for virus x
22:09harvey have you seen my phone i need to check brock's status your phone you might want to check
22:15the news dr harvey williams things are getting spotted in a secret hotel rendezvous messy with
22:21diane reyes i haven't you probably left it in the car or dropped it when we rushed out
22:28i should go back for it if john calls no no calls that's the point of this place right
22:36out there it's all noise shut the world out for now it's just us and the work
22:45so
22:54so
23:22Harvey, what was that?
23:26The grid must have tripped.
23:29Don't move. Emergency power should kick in.
23:37Something's on me! Harvey, it's on my foot! Get it off!
23:49I've got you. Easy. I'm not letting you fall. Just breathe.
24:01Behold, the terrifying creature that scared a world-class virologist shitless.
24:08God. God, I'm pathetic.
24:11Even legends get to be human sometimes, Diane.
24:14But you've always been a little dramatic about the small stuff.
24:20You okay now? Your heart is still racing.
24:25It's not because of the mouse anymore.
24:42Harvey, look. Look at the protein fault.
24:46It's holding. The baseline's stable.
24:49That means...
24:50You're still asking? You know what this means!
24:53It's not a prototype. It's the cure.
24:57We did it. After everything, we actually did it.
25:02Virus X has a cure.
25:11My phone?
25:16Della, wait!
25:18Della, wait!
25:20I can explain why!
25:26You told me I dropped it.
25:28But it was in your pocket the whole time?
25:32Della, I just...
25:34I kept thinking the hospital might be calling.
25:36About Brock.
25:37But you let me sit with that?
25:40Why?
25:40I did it for your own good.
25:44I needed you focused.
25:46My own good?
25:47Since when do you get to decide what's good for me?
25:50I'm your equal, Harvey.
25:52Not your student.
25:54Not some project you managed.
25:56And certainly not your property.
26:05Everything outside this lab is chaotic.
26:08I was trying to keep it out of this room.
26:11How do I work with someone who can't even look me in the eye and tell me the truth?
26:15Who are you?
26:19Not answering is worse than lying, Harvey.
26:24Because it means there's more.
26:27Tell me, right now, what else are you hiding from me?
26:34I saw it, Della.
26:36The headlines.
26:37The photos of us going into the hotel.
26:39They were tearing you apart.
26:41What?
26:44Why would anyone...
26:45Rachel.
26:46She is behind this all.
26:48Rachel?
26:49Is she here?
26:51So that's it.
26:52And your solution was to lie to me.
26:55I panicked.
26:56I watched the world close in on you again.
26:58I knew if you saw those comments.
27:00Fraud.
27:01Parasite.
27:02Liar.
27:02You'd walk away.
27:04From the cure.
27:07From the hospital.
27:08From me.
27:12I was terrified of losing you again.
27:15I've spent three years hating myself for not asking you to stay.
27:19Because I love you.
27:20I've always loved you.
27:22By freaking out.
27:29My mother's ring?
27:31No!
27:45You saved me.
27:50but
27:51why didn't you tell me
27:53I know
27:55I'm sorry
27:58I was just trying to
27:59trying to
28:01what
28:02I don't know
28:03I wanted to marry you but
28:06you chose Brock
28:07so I didn't intervene
28:09I sacrificed everything to keep up with him
28:12and in the end
28:13all that I got was betrayal
28:15don't let him get to you
28:17he's not even good enough for you
28:19maybe I'm not good enough for him
28:21maybe I shouldn't have expected
28:23to find someone way out of my league
28:25what do you even mean
28:27you are special Diana
28:29there is no one else like you
28:30really do you think so
28:33I know so
28:34you are one of
28:59I didn't want to believe it either John
29:01but while your son was fighting for his life
29:05Harvey and Della were busy warming a hotel bed
29:08I knew it
29:09the second she walked in
29:11I knew she's a fraud
29:12the whole Virus X project is a scam
29:15a way for them to siphon research funds
29:18they've already written your son off
29:20left him to die
29:21while they planned their escape from BG
29:23they are the best in the world
29:25they promised me a cure
29:26they promised you a fantasy Mr. John
29:30just long enough to keep you signing checks
29:33now they've disappeared
29:34because there is no cure
29:38I won't let them turn my son's life into a joke
29:41then stop them
29:42before they leave the island
29:44find out where they are
29:46I don't want this dragged out
29:47I want them dead
29:55the structure is locked
29:57it's stable
29:58but this can't go on shelves yet
30:00it has to go to Virus X HQ and Suva first
30:03without WHO validation
30:05this is not a cure yet
30:07it's a trophy
30:08and a target
