Originally released October 5, 2011

When an unannounced visitor breaks into the quarantined Calgary base, Walzer is caught sharing secret information with the outside. But their new guest, Walzer’s eccentric Russian counterpart Aleksei Chertov (Jean Neftin), may be able to corroborate Yuri’s story.

With time running out before they have to release him to McClellan, Jane and Walzer start to get some answers from Yuri about his home on Mars. But when Canada threatens to turn Yuri over to the Russians, McClellan orders an early end to the quarantine.

Mere hours before Yuri is to be sent to an American prison, Taylor makes a fateful decision that will change the world forever.
