Marco confronts Raymond at campaign headquarters, wrestles him down, and bites into his back to remove the same implant he suspects is there. The implant is analyzed and is a nanotechnological experiment connected with Manchurian Global, a powerful private equity firm with major political connections, including Eleanor. Researching the firm, Marco recognizes the South African man from his nightmares as geneticist-turned-mercenary Dr. Atticus Noyle. He brings his findings to Senator Jordan, who confronts the Shaws and suggests that Raymond withdraw from the campaign. Instead, Eleanor "activates" Raymond and orders him to kill Jordan. Jocelyn is also killed when she tries to stop Raymond.
