Wait until you find out that their bionics kill them in 5 yrs! (Alex

Episode #106 - 'The Journey'
New characters in this episode include: Carl, 'Becca's boyfirend; Dr.
Demarcus Childs
'Becca gets hot and heavy in the apartment with Carl!
Plot involves Sarah AND Jaime meeting Dr.Childs at his house, which
appears
dishevlled, the coach littered with newspapers. Both seem to be there of
their own freewill and working together. In contrast to the state of the
living room, there is an immacualtely kept lab in the basement of the
house.
Something happens earlier in the episode to the above meeting, and Jaime
recognises a 'pipe' in an ashtray in TV dinner tray. Some kind of drugs
paraphenalia, due to the bits of aluminum foil containing brown chunks
near
it - 'pre-made hits' says the script.
Childs used to work with Anthros, as a researcher, but left because it was
'dangerous' 'removing an Inhibitor.When Jaime askes why it was dangerous,
Childs says "It would have meant the end. Of everything"
The Inhibitor is something to do limiting Jaime and Sarah's life-span to 5
years [As brought up in the previous episode, 'Faceoff'], and their being
'saved' threatens certain people, which sarah finds hard to beleive
"...how
can the two of us being saved possibly threaten anyone?"
Child knows Sarah of old, something to do with an' illness' she had [drug
addiction?]
Child's compares Jaime and Sarah to wild rabbits which ravaged the
Australia
ecosystem, after being introduced into the wild, 'against God's will, and
they destroyed everything they came into contact with, plants, species,
etc.
Jaime says "And those like us... Bionic candidates... we're the rabbits,
is
that it? And if we live past five years, somehow that will mean the end of
everything?"
It looks like Sarah and Jaime are there to get their Inhibitors removed,
or
perhaps neutralised.
Jaime and Sarah have the Flash Drive with them, which belonged to Matthew
Stevens [again, last episode, 'Faceoff']. They give it to Child.
We learn that the anthrocytes in the Bionic candidates blood are timed to
mutate, eventually going rogue and killing themselves. They start out
helping to heal the person, but eventually do the opposite and end up
killing them by casuing damage at the sub-cellular level. Child's compares
it to a normal person getting cancer.
The anthrocytes can be reprogrammed to stop their destructive mission, if
they are reached in time.
Childs was working on a smaller version of the anthrocyte 'machine', less
than 50 nanometers - NANOTECH PROXY SUB 50 -- VERSION 8.
Childs stopped his research after the death of a woman, possibly his wife
or
daughter, most likely from cancer.
Childs has one vial of the fluid which will prolong Sarah and Jaime's
lifespan... the only trouble is he only has enough to treat one of them!
Jonas and Jae have a fight, and Jae breaks Jonas' hand. Jae pins Jonas
down,
and grips Jonas neck in a hold which nearly makes him black out. When
Jonas
recovers, Jae is gone. This may be something to do with Sarah escaping the
Berkut complex last epsidoe... did Jae let her go?
