So we haven't tracked down Zabel yet?
This latest case makes it clear
that if we want to take down Esperanza, we'll need to work together.
SEVEN-O and the military?
I was very impressed during the fake kidnapping the other day...
By that brave and talented detective.
It's the perfect day for laundry.
Who cares?!
You damn well better have written your report today!
I'm still hurt—
We're not allowed back on the streets until you turn it in!
Hey, wanna spend the night with me?
#10 Failed Detective, but Pure!
If I'd realized you were a cop, I wouldn't have approached you.
Who do you think you're talking to?
I didn't realize you were a guy, either.
I totally failed!
I'm willing to talk about this down at the station...
Let him off.
But he...
You don't just look like a girl, you act like one, too.
You little...
Gus...
Um, did my son cause any problems?
No...
Dad! You need to get back in bed.
But I was worried about you.
We're done here, right?
You're so sweaty...
Nurse, get a wheelchair!
I can walk back.
Don't force yourself! Please!
He's not a bad guy, I guess...
That guy!
Of course, Doug knows...
His partner's not allowed back on the streets until he fills out all his paperwork!
But he wants some time off, and he's getting it!
I'm giving him a lecture when I find him!
You little piece of shit,
you think you can buy me for this price?
I didn't ask you, I asked her—
I guess you're too young to understand the beauty of an adult woman...
Deana, calm down!
He never learns, I guess.
Kirill?
What? You failures are with that failure?
Deana!
I don't know what his deal is, but he pisses me off.
Yeah...
Sorry to tell you this when you came all the way here,
but Doug's running all through the hospital.
We're not here to see him.
We're here to do some questioning.
These are photographs of the four people who have died
under mysterious circumstances over the last few months.
Our investigation revealed they had two things in common.
One was that they were all Anthem users.
And the other...
They were all former patients here, right?
I guess when you run a whole hospital
you've still got time to learn the face of every patient.
The Doctor is a leading authority in the field of end-of-life care.
He does everything he can for each—
They were all told they only had a short time to live.
We were coming up with a care plan
for each of them when they forced their way out of the hospital.
I can see why they'd turn to Anthem as an escape for their pain.
Is that how a doctor's supposed to talk?
He's saying it because he's a doctor.
Any drug can be both a cure or a poison, depending on how you use it.
Do you even know how Anthem affects the human body?
There's some kind of gene editing technology with a weird name.
Something similar happens when you use Anthem, right?
During gene editing, there's a small chance
that an error occurs that can awaken dormant genes.
What we call "Overdrive" is caused by these errors.
As I see it, Anthem is likely similar to a bacteria or something.
Um, I think bacteria have something called a vector...
Yeah, that's it.
Normally they take some kind of gene and copy it...
Right. They're just carriers.
But very rarely they have an effect on the genes themselves,
and have an effect on the body, too.
Like this?
Well, basically.
Wonderful!
I've been waiting so long for an investigator like you.
Can you have SEVEN-O's leadership put me in touch with the military?
Dr. Hope has applied to the military many times
to have Anthem approved for medical use...
I'm not sure what to say—
Hey. Who are you?
Excuse me...
Can you help me?
Thank you.
Not at all.
Hey, you two.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Aww, what's gotten into you?
He keeps going after every girl he sees lately.
Worried?
No, the opposite.
I'm happy.
He always spent all his time with me.
He's got a lot of suffering in store for him.
So I want him to let loose once in a while.
Help me...
I don't want to die...
I don't believe it.
That idiot?
I mean it!
He suddenly started talking like a totally different person!
Right?
He really was like a different person!
Did he get into some kind of weird drug—
I did not!
But it doesn't make sense!
You're so stupid. How can you know all those details about Anthem?
Because...
Anthem is a drug that affects human genes.
So once in a while, it can cause extreme changes.
It removes all your natural limiters.
That should be enough to figure out how it works, right?
That kind of pisses me off...
Right?
And stop slacking and work!
Is that stuff you're putting together now...
They did ask for my help.
I figured I'd just slap something together and hand it to Travis.
I'll help then.
With your amateur level of knowledge, you're probably not going to be able to do it right.
No thanks.
You're an amateur. You can't do it.
You're pretty sharp, for an amateur, to have picked out that paper.
"On the Potentialities of Silent Genes."
I think I was about 12 or 13 when it came out.
It was an interesting paper.
Thanks, I guess.
You wrote this?
No way!
I needed it to pay for school!
It was so many years ago I've mostly forgotten it all, though.
You spent years studying genetic engineering?
No, it was in a manga and it looked kinda cool. That's all.
Kirill, you're crazy!
"Kinda... cool?"
Kirill was actually really smart.
I am not.
I worked really hard on that paper to try and get some scholarship money,
but the minute I got the money, I forgot every word.
I refuse to accept it!
I refuse to accept the possibility that you're not an idiot!
It's going to take me some time, too.
You can think what you like.
Oh, right.
I can't figure out what's in the Anti-AMS bullets.
What is that stuff?
That's top-secret military information. I don't know.
I see...
Hey, are these the only other papers we have?
Oh, wait.
Yuri's inside.
She's undergoing maintenance.
It should be over soon though.
Maintenance?!
It's not like she's a robot!
He's trying his best to keep her secret
So she's totally naked in there?
You probably shouldn't look.
It's not what you think.
Staring at your subordinates naked?
No, no, no!
It was so sexy you spilled your coffee?
F-Forget that. Buzz-Cut!
Did you get those reports?!
Jeez!
Hey, wait!
Wait—
Let me go, failure!
Don't sleep here.
Go home!
It's gone!
Just leave me alone!
I'm not letting the cops bail me out!
You a Renoir fan?
I can't die yet...
I can't leave him behind...
Really?
I didn't know you were into that.
You're kidding me.
I am not!
Did you come here just to tell your terrible jokes—
I'm showing in your guests!
Here's the Derick Special you ordered.
I came all the way out here for you!
Derick?
Why?
I told him he didn't need to come,
but he said it was dangerous for a woman to be out alone.
I was kicked out for not paying the rent.
Did you tell your dad about the rent?
I got the money.
He gave me an account with money for rent and the things I need.
But it all got used for his medical treatments.
But you're still flashing cash to get girls?
That was...
I wanted Dad...
When I was born, my mom died.
And all he ever did after that was work and take care of me.
He never did anything fun.
So I wanted him to spend some time with a pretty girl before he died.
If he can't, then his life is just too pathetic!
You did it for your dad?
Hey, big guy, give me a hand.
The least I can give him is some after-dinner tea.
What's wrong?
Don't just decide that!
Don't just decide that his life was pathetic!
It's much worse to know that that's how his son thinks of him!
Kirill...
Whether you've got money, or girls like you, or you've got an easy life.
Of course, it's better to have all that stuff.
But that's not what really matters!
Even if you can't see them,
it's enough to know your family is alive and doing well!
So you need to smile, for your dad's sake.
Eat. Stay warm.
Hey!
That was sudden...
You were lonely, weren't you?
When grandpa died?
I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
It's fine. We're together now.
Hello?
How did that happen?
Fine, I'm coming.
Sorry, can you take care of him for me?
Hey.
What the hell are you thinking, leaving the hospital?
Did you bring that forensics kit?
Listen to me.
He's in Overdrive.
You're not even going to talk to me?
The man?
Is it not working?
So that's it...
Come on, explain things!
Hey!
He was knocking at death's door in the hospital this afternoon.
That's the case the girls are following...
Several patients left the hospital only to end up dead.
From Anthem.
It may be related.
I saw you at the hospital.
Can we talk?
There's nothing to talk about.
Stop! Stop or I'll shoot!
All I did was grab the light of hope you can only find in that hospital room!
Stay put. I'll help you—
I just did what they told me to!
Wait!
Shit!
Let me see that kit.
He refused further treatment and left the hospital.
But, another patient at your hospital...
"Former" patient.
I'd like to get your opinion as a medical professional then, Director.
What is it?
Anthem was detected in the patient's blood.
From the fact that he's still fleeing despite his wounds,
it's clear his body has undergone some form of physical change.
But there's no Overdrive detected.
What do you think this might mean?
There's not enough information to say.
But when your life is fading away, and death is drawing ever nearer,
isn't it normal to want to feel normal again?
Yes, but...
Please leave.
Let's talk to Travis tomorrow.
But I don't know if we'll be able to get a warrant.
I'll fill out those reports.
Eventually.
If you could use Anthem for medicinal purposes,
would things change?
It's men that make a drug a poison or a cure.
In the end, it's up to the people who use it...
What's happening to my body?
I'm bleeding and it doesn't hurt.
I can't taste, or smell, or feel heat or cold!
Damn it! Another error?
I can't feel a thing!
Hey, tell me!
Take me to the person who offered you that light of hope.
Then I'll tell you.
Huh? Where's Gus?
Dad!
No way...
Turn me back!
He's fast.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
This is a medicine of hope.
But...
It's got a 30% probability of killing me, right?
And side-effects?
We'll watch you for 24 hours to make sure that doesn't happen.
If you can get through that, you'll be free.
Jeffery, at this rate, you've got ten days to live.
Dad?
It's your decision to make.
What's happening to my body?
The failure!
Gus!
Doctor!
Calm down.
I'll make you feel better.
Answer me, please!
What is this?
Their influence goes further than I thought.
Esperanza!
Their goal is to figure out the ratios for the Anti-AMS bullets?
They're injecting the patients with Anthem,
then injecting them with the five drugs that make up the Anti-AMS bullets
to try and figure out the right balance.
Then those errors...
Are because the drugs are partially working.
Each one of those five drugs is deadly on its own.
Once they get the data, the patient is...
A necessary sacrifice!
If we can gain the benefits of Anthem without the risks,
the medical potential is—
Then give me more!
What are you doing?
Enjoying some medical potential!
Stop!
Vitality!
You idiot!
Ow...
Save me...
S-Save me...
It hurts... It hurts...
Now he's just a corpse waiting for death!
And it's your fault!
Your coming here shortened his life and drove him to death!
Save me... I don't want to die!
I'm giving my patients hope—
"Hope"? Shut your mouth!
Enough.
Jeffery... Do you want to live?
Th-Then help me!
Use the Anthem!
Use the Anthem and you'll have the power of a giant,
and the vitality to defeat your illness!
Shut up!
Let's run away together!
I'm the only one who can keep you alive!
Don't you want to see your son grow up?
See him get married? See your grandkid?
I do...
Dad...
Use it!
No!
I won't become a monster.
I'm going to die as his father.
How are you doing?
I'm all right.
They even gave me this fancy room...
They'll probably have lots of questions for you,
but it shouldn't take more than an hour.
I see.
And...
There's something Gus wants you to see.
Gus?
You said you wanted to see me get married, right?
So I had everyone help me.
You're beautiful, Kirill.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Detective...
I'll do my best!
I'll study hard! I won't turn into a thug!
Someday I'll get married.
It might be a pretty woman or an ugly one, or even a guy like this failure.
Stop calling me a failure.
I may not get married.
But if I can, I'll have a kid,
and be a dad like you, Dad...
I'll live like you...
I'm okay...
So, just think about yourself.
And for as long as we can...
I see.
So Gus is staying with your landlord.
Just temporarily.
They're talking with a social worker to see what comes next.
And you're handling the paperwork?
Yeah. They asked if I wanted to live with him and I told them I wasn't into that.
I'll do it.
Thanks.
When your time comes, I'll walk with you.
Down the aisle at your wedding.
But, these women's clothes...
No, thank you.
Constable Kirill Vrubel.
They said at the station you were probably here.
Any interest in joining the military?
Kirill is uncertain how to handle this sudden invitation!
The wheels of fate begin to turn,
and the ball of destiny begins to roll!
Where will the Pythagoras ***** of life take him?

"SEVEN-O Dies Twice!"
SEVEN-O Dies Twice!
Wait, don't die!
