Episode 5

Martin is lifted and the chase is on. But was it the right choice, a terrible blunder in moving too soon, or too little, too late? Martin's sanity is crumbling and his brainwashing makes a mockery of his resolve, but could there be much higher stakes than one boy and one piece of research?
