After a self-imposed exile to China, David Sandström is kidnapped by the People’s Liberation Army and ordered to secretly investigate a deadly outbreak that has killed 19 people in a small village. With the help of three Chinese scientists, David discovers the outbreak has been caused by an ancient bacterium that has seeped into the village’s water system.

In an effort to save her baby, Audrey is induced at just 26 weeks; but it is too late, she has progressed to full blown AIDS and her baby has been exposed to the virus. Carlos attempts to trace the new strain of HIV back to Patient Zero and he encounters many painful memories of his own time in Africa. Meanwhile, Mayko recruits Simon Jessup, a British neuroscientist, to help her investigate a possible link between IQ spikes and Mad Cow disease. Mayko and Simon begin to develop a personal relationship.
3. The Cocktail
David has less than two days to discover a drug cocktail that will prevent a premature baby from becoming HIV positive. After he discovers a mixture that will save the baby, he encounters a number of bureaucratic roadblocks because the drug has not been approved. Carlos continues to research the new super strain of HIV with former colleagues in Africa, and realizes that his place is at NorBAC. Mayko and Simon’s investigation of dramatic IQ spikes in children who have been exposed to prion-laced chicken takes them to the United States. They make a brilliant finding but the results are devastating. Meanwhile, Mayko is troubled by some news she discovers about Simon.

Jill’s potential cure for juvenile diabetes is compromised, causing protestors to demonstrate outside NorBAC. To further complicate matters, Jill discovers that the stem cells she used may be infected with a retrovirus; the implications of which would be felt the world over. Carlos and Mayko continue to test two critically-ill, homeless people David found living in New York’s subway tunnels. Their symptoms can’t be linked to any known disorder; however, they may be connected to an underground marijuana grow-op.

When it starts to look like every major institute in Cuba is clean, David speculates that Charringa and the White House are trying to start a conspiracy to justify the invasion of Cuba. Just as tensions between the U.S. and Cuba are about to come to a head, David and Carlos, with the help of Cuban scientist Eva Ramone, discover exactly what the White House and Charringa have been looking for. Believing that Glenn is beginning to emerge from his coma, Bob enlists the help of neuroscientist Simon Jessup to determine a prognosis.
7. Talk To Him
While in Cuba investigating the cause of decimated orange groves in Florida, David and Carlos uncover information that points to a possible bio-terrorist plot on the part of the Cubans. The American President jumps the gun and immediately blames Cuba for the damaged crops.
