Lazarus (2025) s01e11 Episode Script
Runnin' with the Devil
At that point in time,
Eyman Prison was forcing
all their death-row
and life-sentence inmates
to take new drugs,
as part of clinical trials.
So that means that Axel
is living proof of their
experiments.
This is going to be
our last chance!
You need to let me go
to Pakistan!
You are aware of the risks, right?
Yes.
Fine, but on one condition.
I'm coming with you.
Got that?
Got it!
The drug they forced you
to take at the Arizona prison
- was a prototype of Hapna.
- Huh?
It's very likely
that everyone else
who took it is already dead.
- Seriously?
You escaped right
after the clinical trial ended,
so you obviously had
no way of knowing,
but the only involved person
who's still alive
is the prison doctor
that served there.
Do you remember him?
- Sure do, I know him well.
I need you to go and ensure
his safety immediately.
Got it.
How in the hell am I
the only one still alive?
Elaina, everything okay?
Oh, yeah. I'm all right!
Where's Popcorn right now?
33.693578.
The same location as before.
Great.
But they might start
moving again
like they did when we were
at Delta Medicinal.
Hey, your face is red.
Do you think you might have
a fever or something?
You know, it could be
a symptom of Hapna.
My body temp
It seems to be all right!
That's good.
The gloves are off now.
They've started moving!
If we have to,
we'll chase them
to the ends of the Earth.
When was that?
All right. Thanks.
A special operations
aircraft out of Fort Belvoir
has departed for Pakistan.
- Fort what?
That's where U.S. Army
INSCOM is headquartered.
Wait, to Pakistan?
You mean,
just like Doug and Elaina?
Is the Army chasing them
or something?
That seems to be the case.
Looks like we're getting close
to uncovering something
they don't want us
to know about.
That's for sure.
I'm leaving.
I have to go to talk to them.
Talk to who? The Army?
Do me a favor.
A man will be visiting
here shortly.
Give him this envelope, please.
Um, sure.
Hey. What man?
Dunno.
Ah, what the hell?
Huh?
Come on, man!
I don't even get a "hello"?
Come and get me!
Trigger-happy bastard.
Okay, I'll admit it!
You're not half-bad!
Hersch Lindemann.
I'm here to see
2nd Lieutenant Schneider.
Have you scheduled
an appointment?
Nobody calls ahead when
they're coming to start a fight.
Where's Hersch?
I can't get ahold of her.
She said she was going to see
the Army.
What? She left and went
to INSCOM?
Here.
She told us to give you this.
Hold up. Who are you?
Oh. My apologies.
My name is Abel Anderson,
the founder of Lazarus.
You know him?
What?
Is this for real?
What's going on?
What's the matter?
Aren't you here to dance
with me?
Come on now, you better hurry,
or your gonna miss your chance.
Same old boring moves!
Well, this is a surprise.
To what do we owe
the honor of your visit?
I'm not a fan of small talk,
so I'll get straight
to the point, Mr. Schneider.
Tell your men in Pakistan
to stand down
immediately.
My men in Pakistan?
I don't follow.
Otherwise,
I'm ready to leak everything
you don't want the public
to know about you.
And what could you
possibly know about us?
Enlighten me.
Arizona prison.
Axel Gilberto.
Is this a guessing game?
If so, I'm gonna need
more clues.
It's not more clues
that you need.
It's bodies.
We know INSCOM used lifers
and death-row inmates
at Eyman Prison
as human guinea pigs
in experiments with a new drug.
Unfortunately for you,
all of them died.
And as the both of you
may know, gentlemen,
we can find no record
of these experiments.
However, you have one problem.
You ended up losing a body.
Not only did your
missing inmate survive,
he also escaped from the prison.
And that's this "Gilberto"
fella you mentioned earlier?
My gosh, what a tale!
I'm shocked the NSA would fall
for what is clearly fake
information.
You really care about
your subordinates, Ms. Hersch,
I must say.
Here's hoping
that Axel Gilberto has
many wonderful years
ahead of him.
I see how it is.
The entire world
is looking for Skinner
in the hopes of saving humanity.
Except for you people.
You apparently have
a different reason.
This is your last chance.
Call off your men who are
hunting my team in Pakistan.
Now.
I'm very sorry, Ms. Hersch,
but it seems that we are
going to have to detain you here
for the time being.
On the grounds of, well
I guess treason
or something like that.
You're finally showing
your true colors, Mr. Schneider.
Such a shame.
Great.
She's gone and done
something reckless.
What does the letter say?
I believe Hersch
may have been detained
at INSCOM headquarters.
She apparently went there
hoping to stop
their men in Pakistan,
but no news from her
at this point only means
that negotiations
have fallen flat.
- Oh, no!
- So, she's in trouble?
Liz. What is it?
Bad news.
There are explosions going off
all over the city.
And there are two men
at the center of the chaos.
Give me a second.
I'm sending you
the footage now.
- Axel?!
- Huh?!
He said he was going to
secure a witness
Who's the guy fighting him?
My guess an assassin sent
by the U.S. Army.
I'm not sure.
We have zero information
on this guy
in the NSA database.
Then, could he be
Impossible!
Has the phantom assassin
actually come out in the open?
How much longer
until we get there?
About 22 more minutes.
Elaina, if we find Skinner
and things go back to normal
what will you do first?
Could be anything,
big or small.
Well
I think I wanna eat a Big M
from M Burger.
Really? Do you like them?
No way. They're disgusting.
But sometimes,
I get a strong craving for one.
Well, I think they taste great.
I'm sorry.
Someone's tailing us.
I can stall them.
Can you go on
and find Popcorn by yourself?
But I
Right now, you're the only one
who has any chance
of finding Skinner's location.
Sometimes, I just
gotta play the badass.
Sorry, I have no intention
on dying.
I'll surrender.
That'll keep them occupied.
Right.
I've heard the rumors.
A phantom assassin who
remains cloaked in mystery
because those who've seen him
are dead.
In fact, there was entire troop
of INSCOM soldiers
who got wiped out recently--
probably his handiwork.
Do I have clearance
to use an assault rifle?
You're cleared
to use everything.
Hold on!
I want to come with you!
No, Leland.
I need you to stay here
and hold down the fort,
so we have a place
to come back to.
I'm leaving to try
and rescue Hersch.
Leland,
I'm leaving you in charge.
Yes, sir.
Chris!
Promise me
that you'll bring Axel back!
Count on it.
The other one is gone!
Son of a--
Why are you laughing?
Aren't you afraid to die?
I've danced with death
many times.
She's an old friend of mine.
You love dancing with her too.
Axel!
The other side.
Wait!
Huh?
Wait for me!
That's it!
Hold on!
Mad Screamer?
What the hell?
Huh?
Well, damn.
Guess this isn't ending
until one of us is dead.
What's wrong?
Dibs on the first move
if you're not taking it!
Good.
Rid yourself of your heart.
And become a faceless monster.
Is that the Hundun's wing?
Huh?
Tell me who you are.
I am no one.
Tell me who you are.
I am no one.
Tell me who you are.
Feeling sorry for the
Hundun's lack of a face,
the people bore holes into him.
But that only caused
the Hundun great pain,
so it went on a rampage
that could not be stopped.
And then
Rid yourself of emotion.
Rid yourself of reason.
Rid yourself of your heart.
Good.
You shall all become
faceless monsters.
I can't remember.
You must tell me!
The Hundun had holes
bored into its face.
But then
what happened to it?!
Axel?!
Axel!
I ♪
I must be losing
my mind ♪
I keep on trying

There's no need ♪
