The Painkiller Jane TV series appears to be a "reboot" of the TV-movie, discarding the film's backstory and starting anew.
While attempting to retreat, the entire unit is ambushed and executed by a group of armed men in protective hazmat suits.
One member of the unit, Captain Jane Browning (Emmanuelle Vaugier), not only survives the execution, but recovers from the viral infection and develops an abnormally rapid healing factor, increased dexterity, speed, strength, enhanced senses, mental abilities, and a photographic memory.
Jane is studied by a psychiatrist, Dr. Graham Knight (Tate Donovan), though she refuses to cooperate with his attempt at examining her mental state.
Their meeting is interrupted when gunmen attack however, with Jane throwing herself in front of Watts to take a bullet meant for him.
The final scene sees a group of Asian men walk into a laboratory and meet with Peter Erfan however.
The implication is that Erfan took the solution himself, allowing him to survive an impact with a river after apparently having fallen, and will soon be creating an army of superhumans for the unnamed Asian business partner.
