 When several athletes collapse into comas at a sports institution, Gizmos are hired to find out why. The athletes are part of a trial program run by Dr.Hunter to develop a legal performance enhancing drug called Tri-Meserone, but the institute s director suspects that Hunter may be risking the athlete s lives in order to get results. However, the team discovers that the drug s anonymous sponsor is actually a mercenary called Colonel Easterhaus, who has more sinister plans for its use. When Easterhaus realises he has been discovered, he sends his second in command to kill Ed and Beckett, and takes Ros hostage - with the intention of using her as the new test subject for Tri-Meserone.
