In Veracruz, Mexico, 27 hours before Doomsday, Alex sees Sarah running and starts to photograph her. She tries a door, but it won't open and Alex introduces himself and asks her if she needs help. She tells him she has been looking for a doctor for two weeks and he agrees to help her. She tells him the village she is a missionary at is suffering from an illness and half of the people are sick. She continues that she can't find a doctor to help them. 23 hours before Doomsday, Sarah tells Alex more about the sickness that appeared a couple of weeks prior and Lloyd calls Sarah and tells her he wants her to come home. Sarah tells Alex that the elder of the village said the temple at Chichen Itza is in a state of unrest and she tells him the reason she is not sick is because she is a vegetarian. They walk to a river and find it full of dead fish and Alex notices the water is hot and the increase in temperature might be causing an increase in bacteria levels. At Coatzacoacos, Mexico, 16 hours before Doomsday, Sarah and Alex arrive at the village and find it seemingly abandoned. Alex tells Sarah he has a car and they can head north, but she thinks perhaps it is God's plan that she is in Mexico. Gino runs up to Sarah and tells her a woman in his village is sick and she decides God must have put her there to investigate. Gino points her and Alex to the direction of Wakanna. In Veracruz, Mexico, 14 hours before Doomsday, Sarah and Alex reach Wakanna, who believes it is her destiny to go to Chichen Itza. Alex wants to take Wakanna to the hospital, but Sarah insists they go to Chichen Itza. A hail storm erupts and Alex is killed when a piece of hail lodges into his chest and he and Sarah pray as he dies a new convert to Christianity.
