Hanna

If we're never going to leave,

then why are you training me?

Because one day,

I may not be here to protect you,

and you'll have to cope on your own.

WOMAN (over speaker): All trainees,

please gather all your affairs

and collect at meeting point "G"

for immediate onward...

Where are we going? Why do they keep moving us?

Further information will be given in transit.

WOMAN (over speaker): We are approaching our destination.

All trainees should prepare for disembarkation.

Welcome to the Meadows.

Marissa.

- John. - Ah.

Wasn't sure you'd recognize me.

It's been a while.

How's your leg? Getting better?

Uh, it's been better for two weeks.

Why are you here?

Well, I'm afraid there are a few issues

that need clearing up.

Around what happened at the Utrax facility.

How do you even know about that?

I don't want to waste too much of your time.

Shall we begin?

Mm-hmm.

Who is this?

This is Marissa Wiegler.

I'm at the Utrax facility.

Jerome Sawyer's dead. I'm wounded.

- Erik Heller shot me. - (gunshot)

I need assistance.

Where is Heller?

He's gone,

but he's badly injured.

He won't survive.

And the girl?

She, uh...

she got away.

So let me get this straight.

- Heller killed Jerome Sawyer. - Mm-hmm.

He was escaping with Hanna and the other girl.

I tried to stop them.

- And he shot you in the leg? - Mm-hmm.

Why were you there?

Sawyer's report seems to suggest

that you shouldn't have been on that operation at all.

Sawyer and I didn't see eye to eye

on how to address Erik's reemergence from the forest.

Well, you were right about Heller.

He didn't make it.

The girls buried him in a rural graveyard.

Next to the mother. Sentimental reasons, I imagine.

We disposed of him

in a more strategic fashion.

Hmm.

Um, would you care to come with me for a moment?

Where are we going?

It's right down here.

Won't take long.

Through this door.

I don't understand.

What's in there?

Don't worry, Marissa.

It's just me.

So...

Let's go back to the beginning.

We have the results

of your ALC training tests.

- Congratulations. - Thank you, sir.

So, you think you're ready?

Well, I'd rather not sit at a training console

- for another year. - That's good.

- So, we can put you straight on the NSA main floor. - Mm-hmm.

You'd be assigned to a desk.

Comms and SIGINT analysis.

Phone calls.

Cryptographic decoding.

It's the usual process

for someone transitioning from military intelligence

to an analysis-led arena.

Or?

There is another possibility.

It's in the field.

It's kind of unusual.

Classified project.

And we would only want you to do it

if you felt it was right for you at this time.

Where is it?

Abroad.

That's a little vague, sir.

If you're interested,

I'd have to ask you to sign this

before I tell you anything more.

Welcome.

- (gunshots) - (dog barking)

I wish we could stay here forever.

I can feel your heartbeat.

You feel it?

What is that?

Nothing.

Did they give it to you?

They said it keeps us calm.

What are you doing?

You don't need this anymore.

Welcome, everybody.

My name's Leo Garner.

Please take your seats.

So... let's make a start.

Hi, there.

My name's Joanne McCoy, and I'm your group leader.

You're now entering the second stage of your development.

You're gonna notice some changes

in the way we work here at the Meadows.

You're gonna have more freedom,

and you're gonna be able to ask more questions of us.

Medication will be reduced and rules relaxed

as we prepare you for the next stage of your journey.

You'll shortly receive your personalized character profile

that will tell you all you need to know

about your new identities.

Take time to read it.

It contains all you need to know about yourself,

your family history, your schooling,

your place of birth, where you grew up,

your hobbies and interests,

your aspirations and your dreams.

Operation Utrax.

Initiated in 2002, Darabani, Romania,

to explore in utero enhancement

of genetic makeup in early-stage embryos.

Wolf DNA implanted into a three-month-old fetus,

to affect bone density,

sensory sensibility

and reduced susceptibility to disease.

All with the intention of creating

a perfectly refined military tool.

Did you know about it all these years?

I thought I was keeping it secret from you.

I was the one who recommended you.

You closed the operation in 2003

after Erik Heller's unfortunate intervention.

- We reopened it in 2004. - Without telling me.

It was decided a clean slate was necessary.

The DNA enhancements are now synthetic,

modeled on the same material but now non organic.

And this time...

it worked.

Where are they?

They're in socialization training,

developing their new identities.

When socialization is complete,

they'll be transferred into the field.

They'll live in the real world,

normally, quietly.

And all we have to do is flip a switch,

and they'll do whatever we ask.

100% deniability.

I mean,

who's really gonna suspect an 18-year-old freshman.

And 100% reliable.

Or so we thought.

According to the gospel of Utrax,

Trainee 249 shouldn't have had

the ability to disobey orders in the way she did.

We need to determine why that happened

and how to prevent it in the future.

To do that,

we need to bring her back.

That's why I'm here.

That's why I need your help.

Hello?
