LIEUTENANT.
HOW IS SHE?
HER CONDITION'S STABLE.
SHE'S RESTING
COMFORTABLY.
SHE'S GOING TO
DIE LIKE THE OTHERS?
I'M DOING EVERYTHING
IN MY POWER TO KEEP
THAT FROM HAPPENING.
OH.
NOW, I BELIEVE
THAT YOU AND YOUR SQUAD
WERE SECRETLY INJECTED
WITH A SERUM
DERIVED FROM A HYBRID PLANT
CALLED THE REFLISHA PRISAY.
THE SERUM KILLED MY MEN.
IT'S KILLING ANGEL.
DID THIS TO ME?
YES.
CAN YOU SAVE HER?
WELL, CREATING AN ANTIDOTE
IS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE,
BUT I'M GOING TO
NEED THE PLANT TO DO IT.
THE PLANT AT TRICORP?
YES, EXACTLY.
I WANT YOU AND
JESSE TO BREAK IN THERE
AND GET ME THE PLANT.
ABSOLUTELY.
BUT WE'RE NOT
GOING IN THERE ALONE.
BEAU'S COMING WITH US.
WE NEED HIM TO DO THE JOB.
THE FERAL THING'S
NOT HALF BAD.
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
GET TO LIKE IT.
I GOT IT.
NOT EXACTLY YOUR REGULAR
GARDEN VARIETY, IS IT?
WE'VE GOT COMPANY.
BEAU AND I'LL
TAKE CARE OF THESE GUYS.
GOTTA GET
THE PLANT TO ADAM.
YEAH.
THIS SEEMS A LITTLE
LOW-TECH FOR YOU, ADAM.
KIND OF EXPECTED YOU
TO LASER IT OR SOMETHING.
WELL,
HERBAL MEDICINE TECHNIQUES
ARE AS VALID TODAY AS
THEY WERE
A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
HERE.
ONE MAN'S
TRIBAL MAGIC IS THE NEXT
MAN'S HOLISTIC HEALING.
WE BETTER HOPE
SO, BECAUSE ALL OF OUR
MODERN TECHNOLOGY DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE DOING ANY GOOD.
YEAH, BUT SHE'S STABLE.
WHO KNOWS FOR HOW LONG.
HEY, WHAT
ABOUT SHALIMAR?
WE HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM HER OR BEAU.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU SEE
IF YOU CAN TRACK HER DOWN?
I'LL TAKE THAT.
THERE'S A LONGSTANDING TRADITION
IN MY WORLD OF TAMPERING
WITH HUMAN NATURE TO
CREATE A MORE PERFECT SOLDIER.
FROM THE HASHISHIN OF ANCIENT
PERSIA TO THE VIKING BERSERKERS
TO MK-ULTRA, MEN IN MY POSITION
HAVE SOUGHT THE PERFECT WAY
TO CREATE THE PERFECT
MONSTER IN THE FIELD.
AND I BELIEVE
WE'RE GETTING THERE.
THIS MORNING, YOU SOUNDED
READY TO SHOUT YOUR SUCCESS
FROM THE ROOFTOPS, DR. HARRISON.
ARE YOU HAVING ANY DOUBTS?
I WOULDN'T CALL
THEM DOUBTS, EXACTLY.
LET'S JUST SAY
I HAVE CONCERNS.
WHAT'S HIS CONDITION?
HE'S FINE.
WE'VE SEDATED
HIM SO I CAN ADMINISTER
A COMPLETE EXAMINATION
TO FIND OUT PRECISELY WHY
WHAT KILLED THE OTHERS SEEMS
TO HAVE THRIVED IN
LIEUTENANT LONGSTREET.
I'M CONCERNED BY YOUR
CONCERNS, DR. HARRISON.
IT'S JUST
THE SCIENTIST IN ME.
IT'S ALL
ABOUT CONTROL.
I'LL JOIN YOU IN THE EXAMINATION
ROOM TO OBSERVE THE PROCEDURE.
THIS PROCESS TOOK A LOT
LONGER THAN I THOUGHT.
HOW ARE HER VITAL SIGNS?
HER WHITE CELL
COUNT IS FLUCTUATING,
BUT EVERYTHING
ELSE SEEMS CONSTANT.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD.
I'VE ISOLATED THE CULTURE
FROM THE REFLISHA PRISAY.
NEXT STEP IS
DEVELOP THE ANTIGEN.
YOU'D THINK SOMEONE
WOULD NOTICE I WAS MISSING.
SHALIMAR?
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?
I'M AT GENOMEX.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
I CAN TALK, SO JUST LISTEN.
THEY'VE GOT BEAU
IN AN EXAMINATION LAB.
I'M GOING TO BUST HIM LOOSE.
I NEED YOU TO BRING THE
HELIX TO GET US OUT OF HERE.
NO. NO,
YOU NEED TO GET THE
HELL OUT OF THERE NOW.
I'M NOT LEAVING BEAU.
HE WOULDN'T LEAVE A TEAM
MEMBER, AND NEITHER WILL I.
JUST BE READY
TO GET US OUT OF HERE.
HEY, ADAM.
YEAH?
JUST HEARD FROM SHALIMAR.
SHE'S INSIDE THE GSA.
HAVE YOU MADE ANY PROGRESS
IN LEARNING PRECISELY WHY
LIEUTENANT LONGSTREET
SURVIVED THE EXPERIMENT?
WE'RE GETTING THERE.
GETTING THERE.
WE CAN ONLY MOVE
SO FAST, MR. ECKHART.
A SAMPLE OF BLOOD TAKEN
FROM THE LATE CORPORAL RANDALL
HAS PROVEN AN INVALUABLE TOOL.
BY COMPARING THE
TWO DNA STRUCTURES, WE'VE
MANAGED TO ISOLATE THE
PRECISE STRAND OF GENETIC
MATERIAL RESPONSIBLE FOR
LIEUTENANT
LONGSTREET'S LONGEVITY.
FASCINATING.
THEN IT'S TRUE: MOST
GREAT MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS
POINT TO PATHOLOGY.
WELL,
WE'LL SOON FIND OUT.
I BELIEVE WITH THE REFLISHA
PRISAY WE'VE GOT ON HAND,
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO START
THE NEXT PHASE OF THE OPERATION.
IF YOU ARE CORRECT,
WE ARE ON THE VERGE
OF CREATING NEW MUTANTS.
OBEDIENT AND
SUBSERVIENT NEW MUTANTS.
COMPLETELY AT THE
SERVICE OF YOUR WILL.
ENOUGH TO CONCEIVABLY
MAKE THE CHILDREN
