- No way. You're only 23? Looking like that?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- I thought you were at least 28 or 29.

- So that makes us the same age.

- Huh? Hold up, you're 23 too? - Sure am.

- Seriously? I can't believe this.

I had you pegged being somewhere around 40.

- 40?

- Okay, so how old are you, Chris? Maybe 30?

- Don't be stupid, I am not that old.

- Then 26 or 27?

- Nope. No comment.

Anything I say is just gonna let you narrow it down.

- You paused there for a second. - That means he's probably right.

- I guess I better start using "ma'am" around you.

- Don't even think about it.

- Since we're sharing, I'm 16 years old.

- God, could you be any more annoying?

- Ow, ow. Cut it out.

- 40?

[ Cat meows ]

- All done.

- What exactly is that supposed to be?

- Something he found lying around the armory.

And now he some great idea of using it for the barbecue.

- Don't you think that's a little dangerous?

- 40? - Here we go.

[ Cat screeches ]

- Wow. - Whoa.

- What was that? [ Gasps ]

- Hm? A fire?

Nah, couldn't be.

- Earlier today, the very last ice floe

in the Arctic broke apart.

- Oh, my God.

- Wow, so the North Pole's finally gone for good?

- It's all over the news right now.

- Check this out. This video is going viral.

- According to my calculations, precisely 3 years from now,

the ice in the North Pole will melt and be lost forever.

- It's been 3 years to the day since he made that speech.

- For real?

- So then everything is playing out as Skinner predicted.

- Some people are even starting to treat him

like a prophet or a God.

- But they were just calling him a terrorist the other day.

- Forget terrorism.

It's possible this could escalate into World War III.

- And now it look like Hapna is old news.

- Yeah, you said it. If Skinner's telling the truth,

there's only 15 days left until the first deaths occur...

- Ya'know, a world war might wipe out humanity before Hapna does.

- That's not very funny, Chris.

- Hm? Oh, Ms. Hersch.

- Sorry I'm late. Let's get started.

Sadly, we're back to square one.

Even the FBI agents who raided that cult,

the Tower of the Truth, couldn't find anything tied to Skinner.

Very unfortunate.

Their deity, Naga,

was indeed an AI modeled after Skinner's brain,

but the bureau concluded that the man himself

wasn't involved in any way.

- So, all that for nothing.

- Okay, then, what do we do now?

- In times like these, it's best to go back to where we began.

- What do you mean? - First off,

we should take another look at Skinner's video.

- [ Grunting ] - Hm?

- Nope. Not food.

- Nor do I intend to unilaterally decide

what the fate of humanity will be.

All I am doing is serving as the Seventh Trumpeter.

- Wait, pause it. What's he mean?

What is the seventh trumpeter?

- It's part of the New Testament.

John, one of the apostles of Jesus,

was given a vision of the future by God

which he wrote about in the Book of Revelation.

- What's supposed to happen?

- Volcanic eruptions, meteor storms, and war.

In the Book of Revelation,

God, enraged by humanity's arrogance,

brings down all sorts of disasters on them.

- Yikes.

- Sounds like what's happening to us now.

- Angels each sound their trumpet

warning of the next calamity. And then,

after the seventh angel blows its trumpet,

final judgment gets delivered upon humanity.

- Ah, that makes sense.

- So that's why Skinner said he's blowing the seventh trumpet.

[ Timer bloops ] - Ah, there goes the timer.

- I'll be right back.

- Hey, so when did the other six trumpets get played?

Good question.

[ Device beeping ]

- Alright. The analysis is complete.

- The weather's not very good today.

Plus, the sun will be setting soon.

It's better if we leave tomorrow instead. What do you think?

- Set sail. - You sure?

- We don't have the luxury of believing in tomorrow.

You should know that.

[ Device beeping ] - What's that thing?

- A memory drive extracted from Naga.

- And what are these numbers?

- I assume it's the final output of data it created.

- So it's like Naga's dying message?

- Possibly. This may have been its way

of trying to communicate to us.

- Like telling us the name of its girlfriend?

- Take this seriously. - Whatever you say, chief.

- That looks like a phone number to me.

So, let's call it and find out.

- Huh? Just like that?

- Perhaps it's some kind of alpha-numeric code.

- I'll run it through my decryption software.

- Or maybe they could be map coordinates.

- Huh? Ramen shop?

- Sorry, I must have the wrong number.

- "Hafurrowfoohee minminary furolee."

- What the heck? - It doesn't make any sense.

- Ah.

Found them.

- So they're coordinates?

Like, latitude and longitude?

- Yeah. It's used in the military.

It's the UTM coordinate system.

[ Monitor bloops ]

Here are the four locations

they point to.

- Hm? - Hm?

- So, uh... - Something's not right.

- They all point to the middle of the ocean.

- Huh.

The Maldives, Manila Bay,

the Sakishima Islands, Tuvalu.

I'm stumped.

- Hold on.

Didn't these islands get submerged about 10 years ago?

- Now that you mention it...

- Are you saying these spots

used to be islands instead of water?

Actually, these might be...

[ Keyboard clacking ]

Yeah, I was right.

Skinner bought land in all four of these areas

right before they sunk into the ocean.

- He did what?

- Why would he buy sinking islands?

- So is this what Naga was trying to tell us?

- Aw, man. This is so confusing.

- All this yapping isn't getting us anywhere.

Let's take a boat ride. Aloha ocean resort.

- What are the odds that Skinner is hiding

in one of those 4 locations?

- It's hard to say why he would be there,

But I'm sure there must be some sort of reason

that he purchased all of that land.

- Sounds interesting.

- The only problem is that the islands are now submerged

because of global warming.

So we don't have that many clues to follow.

- Understood.

And while I have you,

do you have time to meet me for coffee?

- How interesting.

I didn't know you liked Rembrandt.

Or maybe you just wanted to come to a place

that hasn't been bugged? - Not at all.

I want to appreciate Rembrandt's artwork

one last time before the end of the world.

- That's very sentimental.

- I'm just that kind of guy.

- The same guy everyone sees as a coldhearted pragmatist

and who actually might be an AI

instead of a regular human being?

- First time I've heard that.

I'll be back in an hour.

- Hey, Abel?

Don't let sentimentality kill your career.

- You don't have to tell me that, Liz.

- Okay. See you in an hour.

The plane's about to land.

I'll be at Taketomi Island in 10 minutes.

- I've already made it to Tuvalu.

I'm gonna go ahead and dive in and take a look around.

Talk soon.

- Hey, guys, this is completely unrelated, but...

is Lazarus going to get disbanded after we find Skinner?

- Of course.

That's the sole purpose of our team.

- I was just thinking...

that would be kind of a shame, you know?

- And? Are you saying we're better off

not catching Skinner?

So this is what the earth really looks like...

The first six trumpets have already sounded.

Who can really say that Skinner is wrong then?

- [ Gasping ]

- How was it?

- A buncha nothing.

- [ Chuckles ]

It's been 10 years now.

Everybody here packed up and moved to another island.

- Oh? What happened there?

- Oh, a bunch of flying fish jumped out,

and one of them hit me.

- Wow. Sounds like it hurts.

- Not one bit.

It's an insensitivity disorder.

I was born with it. - Huh?

- It makes me unable to feel pain,

so I don't know what it's like.

- Oh, wow. So you've never taken Hapna?

- I never had a need to take it.

Cases like mine aren't uncommon around here.

It's called analgesia.

- What's up?

- I just found out a majority of the people

who lived on this island suffer from analgesia.

- Really?

- Yeah, my guide is actually

a former resident.

He can't feel pain at all.

And guess what. When he was little,

he remembers Skinner coming to visit the island.

- In the past, we didn't have any money.

It was impossible for us to move elsewhere.

But then Mr. Skinner swooped in

and bought our entire island from us.

So thanks to him, we had enough money to start new lives.

- Elaina, can you trace where the money

that he spent on the other islands went?

- I'll try.

- Damn it.

I still can't seem to figure Skinner out.

- Rembrandt is the painter

that many regard to be the master of light.

In other words, he understood that the true nature of things

depended heavily on how they are illuminated.

He practically revolutionized the world of art.

- Okay then, what is so important

that you had to bring me here to talk?

- I believe that I owe you an apology.

- What for?

- Because I know how you feel about Skinner,

and it's not a stretch to say

that I've taken advantage of that fact.

- Don't worry about it. No one forced me to do anything.

I made my own decisions.

- Of course, Doctor.

- Why did he start this whole thing?

And why did he leave me behind?

I need the answers to those questions.

- About the prison in Arizona.

The intelligence branch of the army

has started sniffing around.

- For Axel? - Yeah.

Plus, they're looking into the incident

at the Schiphol Airport.

- Axel is the one. He can shed light on everything.

- Skinner came to that island 15 years ago,

for a drive to receive gene donations.

Same story with the other islands.

He bought up all of their territory,

which gave the residents enough money

to move away and start new lives.

- Whatever the case, it's likely that this analgesia

was the origin of Hapna.

Do you know where he studied the donated genes?

- At the Hague Institute.

Skinner was a researcher there at the time.

- Interesting.

That place got shut down after the incident.

- I'll look for a list of people

who worked there during that period.

- I've been thinking, I betcha Naga needed to understand.

- Understand what?

- Naga saw Skinner as its father.

It probably wanted to know his intentions.

- It feels almost like we are experiencing everything

Skinner had gone through, you know?

- Actually, that might be what he had in mind all along.

- What do you mean?

- He wants us to feel like he felt.

Live our lives through his experiences.

- [ Sighs ]

What you're really saying...

all of us are just dancing in the palm of his hand.

- "The Raising of Lazarus."

- Tell me something, Dr. Hersch.

Do you somehow get the impression

that Dr. Skinner sold his soul to the devil

and became a different person?

- No, I don't.

I don't think he's changed at all.

He's always been very sincere. Practically to a fault.

But you can't survive in the world like that.

And when I told him as much, he replied,

"What exactly is so wrong

about a scientist who is sincere and pure?"

- Indeed.

- Here's what I can say for sure.

He wants somebody to search for him and find him.

- Of course, I'd like to believe that, too.

I've found a data archive.

- It includes a list of all the researchers affiliated

with the Hague Institute.

Huh?

- What's wrong?

- Well...
