The Final Episode

    Episode 6 of Ad Vitam picks up where episode 5 left off. Episode 5 left off with Christa shooting Virgil. Episode 6 is the crime scene of where Virgil's body is found. It's still raining and Darius is walking to the body. He lifts the sheet covering the body and sees the scar on Virgil's arm where the tattoo was. He then looks over to see the gun from his glove compartment on the ground. Knowing full well its the one Christa stole from him. He recovers the body and then we see Darius being questioned by police in his precinct. They ask when Darius thinks Christa took the gun. He answers probably at the end of the day when reinforcements arrived. They then ask doesn't procedure state she stay in the back of the car? Darius answers I thought she would've stayed put. They also ask what the nature of his relationship was like with Christa. Darius answers the investigation took time. The officers continue to say that they were together at a hotel the night before Christa went missing. Darius says the rooms were separate but the officer comes back to say he was seen entering her room in the middle of the night. The officers continue to say that she spent the night at Darius's apartment. Darius interjects by saying she couldn't spend the night at her parents. Darius then brings up his wife and the officer interrupts him by saying that she no longer lives with Darius. Then the officer pushes further by saying what exactly happened was your wife tired if sharing breakfast with your young girlfriend? Darius then says that they have it all wrong. The other officer then asks if he was intimate with Christa. Darius smiles and starts to laugh a bit. 

    Darius is then seen with the chief of police setting his badge and gun down at his desk. He looks at a picture that was handed to him by the chief. The picture is of Christa and Virgil when she made him walk to where she killed him. Darius asks where did she go after, and why didn't she turn the gun on herself? The police chief then tells Darius that she just wasn't able to do it at that moment and that she will be found dead within the next couple of days. Darius then walks out.

    We are then shown pictures of the minors that are still missing. Finally it flashes to Darius's empty apartment. We listen to news caster talk about the missing minors and how no one is answering their questions about the minors. Darius is seen running around the town while we listen to the news caster. We then see Darius looking at a giant screen of pictures with someone else. We realize the man Darius is with is a therapist. This therapist is trying to help Darius "project" and find a a new career as Darius's time as a police officer is over. We then see Darius at a party with some fellow officers celebrating his retirement. Flash forward a couple hours and its night and Darius asks the man if he got it for him. They are then seen talking about Christa and Darius asks his fellow officer if he has a theory as to where Christa may be. The officer says he has no clue and that Darius needs to let it go.

    Darius is then seen looking at the gift the officers got him and he is calling his wife while looking at it in his apartment. It's very late at this point and Darius wife points this fact out to him but Darius thinks she means that it's too late for there relationship to be fixed. She then explains what she means and they end the call. Darius is then seen plugging a flash drive into the computer. On the flash drive is footage from cameras of the night Christa killed Virgil. We then see that Darius is continuing to work on the case even though he is no longer an officer.

    Skip ahead a couple of hours and Darius ahs fallen asleep while doing his work. We then see him awake and out of bed with a drink of some sort out on his patio. He then gets an alert from his phone that says he is ten days past his time to regenerate. He then walks back into the room where he is continuing the case to find Christa. He is looking at the monitors when he notices something in the video footage. Its the man from the Stern Museum smoking a cigarette. Darius then goes to Stern Museum and follows the man to a secret restaurant. This is where Darius meets Odessa. The woman that was partners with Virgil. They talk about the past a bit and then Darius is back home looking things up about Odessa. He then finds a picture of Odessa with Virgil at that banquet we first met Odessa at. Darius then calls a fellow officer Elias telling him its all connected somehow and that he should call him back. After he hangs up Darius's wife shows up at his apartment and they begin to talk about how things have been and how Darius is looking for a new career. They end up having intercourse. After that Darius's wife gets up and walks into Darius's office and sees that Darius hasn't let go of the case. She then leaves and Darius gets a little upset. Darius continues his work even though his wife basically left him. We then see Darius having flashbacks of everything that has happened throughout the show and finally we see Christa. 

    We realze that it was all a dream and Darius wakes up to the sound of his phone ringing. He begins to talk with a different police officer. Then we see Darius and this police officer at a meeting place. He then shows this officer the picture of  the man from the Museum and the officer doesn't make any sense of it. Then they continue to talk and then the officer attacks Darius with a knife but Darius wins said fight when the knife ends up in the officers neck. Darius takes what was in the officers car with him and on his person and then leaves. He inspects the stuff that he grabbed from the officer and doesn't notice anything about the things he grabbed. We then see him looking out over the city and the black phone like thing he grabbed is glowing. On the phone like thing it says Stern Museum.  Darius goes to the museum and watches as one of the missing minors is prematurely regenerated. This horrific scene shows the crowd of people what happens when minors are regenerated too early. Before it gets really bad they flip to another scene this scene has Christa in it and the same thing that happened to the other minor is about to happen to her. Darius steps forward and pulls out his gun and shoots the glass in the four corners so not to hit Christa. The glass breaks and water sprays all over the place and Darius stands up and there is a shard of glass in his stomach. he pulls it out and gets to Christa and she wakes up and they run out of there. 

    We see them continuing to run in a forest and Darius is slowing down significantly. He stops at a trees and sits up and tells Christa about his baby and then tells her to run. She does as she's told and Darius is left there and dies. We see that the police department finds him and the missing minors after this. Then we see Darius's wife in his apartment and she is clearly upset about what happened to Darius. The Christa appears and Christa tells Darius's wife that he was excited to have a baby and that he loved them both very much. Christa leaves after hugging Darius's wife. The final scene is Christa and some teenagers going to find somewhere else to go on a boat.

    This show was interesting to say the least. It shows how technology could be corrupted and misused and not good for us as human beings. The technology in this show is both exciting and frightening. I think the over all lesson of this show is to not push technology too far or else things will become corrupt.
