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.
12:35This is stage two.
12:37You have exactly two days before the brain damage becomes permanent.
12:41Two.
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 we don't
14:15have that kind of time i've lived with this strain in my head for three years you've not changed one
14:22bit diana still impossible to argue with i just never understood why you walked away from the project
14:28and from me i've left because i was suffocating between the virus the pressure and rachel every idea
14:37i brought in she took credit every breakthrough she claimed it was luck
14:41and you let her i thought you were stronger than her petty gains i didn't realize because you were
14:47too busy being the legendary dr harvey williams i chose brock because he saw me not my lab results
14:54my research papers turns out that was a lie too 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

15:32what how would rachel even be anywhere near this place
15:36relax 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

21:59they do
22:00for moments like this
22:02it's the only way to save brock and find a cure for virus x
22:09harvey have you seen my phone

22:40for now
22:40it's just us
22:42and the work
22:56you
23:23Harvey what was that? The grid must have tripped. Don't move. Emergency power
23:31should kick in.
23:37Something's on me! Harvey it's on my foot! Get it off! Harvey!
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.
24:59After 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...
25:33I just...
25:34I kept thinking the hospital might be calling.
25:36About Brooke.
25:37But you let me sit with that?
25:40Why?
25:41I did it for your own good.
25:44I needed you focused.
25:46My own good?
25:48Since 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?
26:43Why 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 spent three years hating myself for not asking you to stay.
27:19Because I love you.
27:21I've always loved you.
27:29My mother's ring?
27:46You 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...
28:00What?
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, all that I got was betrayal.
28:16Don'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...
28:22I shouldn't have expected to 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.
28:31Really?
28:32Do you think so?
28:33I know so.
28:34You are one of the...
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, I knew she's a fraud.
29:13The whole VirusX project is a scam.
29:16A way for them to siphon research funds.
29:18They've already written your son off.
29:20Left him to die while 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 because 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.
29:48I want them dead.
29:55The structure's locked.
29:57It's stable.
29:58But this can't go on shelves yet.
30:00It has to go to VirusX HQ and Suva first.
30:03Without WHO validation, this is not a cure yet.
30:07It's a trophy.
30:08And a target.
30:11Then let's go.
30:12Now.
30:17Ten miles to Suva.
30:19We might beat the morning briefing.
30:20Don't celebrate yet.
30:22We're still in the dark.
30:34Are you insane, Brock?
30:36Why are you hunting us?
30:38You don't get to run.
30:39Remember you had a deal with my father.
30:41You promised a cure to your made-up VirusX.
30:43We ran to save you.
30:46VirusX isn't made up.
30:47And yes, we do have a cure.
30:49We were taking this to international headquarters.
30:52To authorize mass production.
30:54And for you.
30:55For everyone after you.
30:57Don't listen to her, Brock.
30:59That's not a cure.
31:00It's a sedative.
31:01They'll knock you out, drain your dad's money, and disappear for good.
31:05I would listen to Della if I were you.
31:07Your lungs are failing.
31:09You don't have time.
31:10I don't want to die!
31:11I don't!
31:12Then shoot them.
31:13We'll find you a real doctor.
31:14There is no one else.
31:15I made this.
31:17I'm the only one who knows the dose.
31:20Look at yourself.
31:22The tremors.
31:24The blue in your fingertips.
31:31Then do it right now!
31:33Brock, don't...
31:34Shut up!
31:37If this kills me, you shoot them.
31:41This will feel cold.
31:48Brock?
31:48Brock?
31:51Brock?
31:53Brock?
31:58There's no pulse.
32:02You killed him!
32:07We've got company.
32:12Who is it?
32:38Roadblock!
32:39Roadblock!
32:42Roadblock!
32:44Into the trees!
32:52You are not going anywhere.
32:59You really thought you could escape me?
33:14Like Brock said, I'll end you both.
33:26I'll end you both.
33:28Stop!
33:31He's breathing.
33:32Harvey, he's breathing.
33:38He's having a severe reaction.
33:40But the viral load is crashing.
33:42The cure's working.
33:43But he needs medical-induced sedation and ICU monitoring.
33:46But before that...
33:48Get that Rachel bitch.
34:03You did the impossible, Della.
34:05I mean...
34:06Dr. Diane Reyes.
34:08I was wrong.
34:10I let fear turn me into someone I don't recognize.
34:14I'll give you anything, I promise.
34:17Please, don't leave me.
34:21I didn't do this for anything you might give me.
34:24I did it because it was right.
34:26It's time for me to go.
34:28I wish you well.
34:35Dr. Diane Reyes.
34:37You just stopped a global pandemic.
34:39How does it feel?
34:40Like I'm finally free.
34:46You ready?
34:47I'm scared, Della.
34:57Anything is possible.
34:59As long as we're together.
35:12Three years back, I came to this hospital for Brock.
35:16His father runs this place.
35:18He's the director, head of surgery.
35:21I gave up everything for them.
35:24This is the end.
35:25It's time to leave.
35:26Della, are you sure you want to give up this job?
35:29Seriously, where would you even go?
35:30No one's going to hire you anyways.
35:32You're so right, Brock.
35:34She's so replaceable.
35:36At work and at home.
35:39Enjoy your little achievement while you still can.
35:42Sorry, not sorry, but I don't think I'll be the one out of a job.
35:45I have enough evidence to bury you and...
35:48This hospital, including CCTV footage of the two of you using my office as a bedroom.
35:54Oh, one more thing.
35:56My dearest husband, Virus X is why I didn't sleep with you.
36:00But that's not the only reason.
36:02I always knew I deserve someone better.
36:05That's just another excuse for your sad little life.
36:09You're a resident, Della.
36:10Don't pretend you know more than me.
36:11Virus X doesn't even exist.
36:13Security!
36:15She is stealing confidential hospital data.
36:17Get her out of here!
36:18Ma'am, we need you to step.
36:26Brock!
36:29Brock!
36:29What's happening?!
36:30What's happening?!
36:31Virus X.
