Cliff's hallucinations increase, and it becomes clear the voice of Linda he's been hearing over the radio is another hallucination. This voice begins to taunt and mock him for his mistakes and failures. Xian Mei contacts Cliff and warns him that she has planted explosives all around the island, and will soon detonate them to stop the outbreak. She tells him to leave the island, but Cliff insists on staying to find and rescue Devan. Cliff is unable to locate Devan, but is contacted over the radio by his father, who is arriving by helicopter searching for him. Cliff refuses to leave the island with his father, still hoping to find and save Devan, so Cliff's father instead asks him to give him the data drive so he can broadcast the truth to the world. However, Cliff is resentful of his father, feeling that he wants to take the credit for the discovery for himself, and refuses.
