Do you think we're close?
They're almost
impossible to find.
No one's ever
captured one alive.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
I agreed to provide security
for you
because I thought you were
close to finding the spider.
Well, it'll be worth the wait.
Dead specimens show that
the peptides
in the spider's venom, they...
Basically, they supercharge
their cellular structure.
That spider can give
superhuman strength and power,
like Las Araas.
Las Araas?
The, uh, mythical spider people
who run across the treetops
and punish evil men with
their black, poisoned touch?
I like to base my research
in science,
not legends, Mr. Sims.
- Those powers are wasted here.
- (RAIN PATTERING)
These little spiders
have the potential
to cure hundreds of diseases.
It could...
(GROANS)
- Are you okay?
- No.
She's trying her best
to keep me from working.
(SIGHS)
But I'm not gonna
let her do that.
Not when I'm this close.
(PANTING)
Perhaps you should rest.
(SIGHS) I don't have time.
Thank you.
For the umbrella.

CONSTANCE: I found it.
I found the spider.
(MEN CHATTER EXCITEDLY)
CONSTANCE: (GASPING)
Oh, my God.
- Isn't she beautiful?
- MAN: Wow!
- Incredible, isn't it?
- (MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Something so small
yet have so much power.

(GASPING)
What are you doing?
I don't...
I don't understand.
I've been searching
for that spider for years.
No, don't...
We could help so many people.
I'm not interested
in helping people.
No one helped me
when my family was starving.
My road was not
as clear as yours.
We didn't have the same choices.
You're making
the wrong decision.
- Give me the spider!
- No.
You're making
the wrong decision.
- Give it to me.
- No.
- Give it to me.
- No.
You can just walk away.

will not be easy,

She will come back
when she needs answers.
And when she does...

I will be here for her.

(HORN AND SIREN BLARING)
(MILES AWAY BY

- Move!
- All right! All right!
This is 2-10
with a 42-year-old female.
Code three.
Cassie, I lost the pulse.
I'm starting compressions now.
Ben, what are you even doing
back there?
Oh, you wanna come take over?
I can drive.
She's not going room temp
on my watch.
(SIREN BLARING)
- (HORNS HONKING)
- (TIRES SCREECHING)
(HORN BLARING)
- CASSANDRA: Come on.
- (TIRES SCREECHING)
(MILES AWAY CONTINUES PLAYING)
How you doing back there?
You know, last time I was
in a vehicle driven like this,
I was being shot at.
I wouldn't want you
to be homesick for the Army.
Never thought I'd be this happy
to be back in Queens.
What, you've never
been shot at in Queens?
(SIREN BLARING)
(TIRES SCREECH)
(GASPS)
Shouldn't you be in school?
- (SIREN CHIRPS)

Jesus.
(SIREN BLARING)
Kids.
- (HORN BLARING)
- (MUSIC STOPS)
- I'm gonna get roped in.
- You're not.
You're gonna be in
the backyard grilling with us.
Mm-mm. I know how
these things work, Ben.
Oh, do you? How do you know?
I bet you've never even been
to a baby shower.
Because, yeah, I'm careful
not to get roped in.
I'm glad I caught you
before you headed back out.
She's gonna be okay.
Who?
Your, uh, patient.
Her little boy
wanted to say thank you.
(CHUCKLES)
Um... You know what,
Mr. Ben Parker here
did all the work, so...
BEN: Just take it.
Take it.
- Just take it.
- (CHUCKLES)
- That's... I mean...
- (WHISPERING) Thank you.
- BEN: Thanks, buddy.
- Thank you.
NURSE:
I'll take you in to see her.
- Are you all immediate family?
- Oh, my God.
I'm her stepdaughter.
I think she might prefer...
Yeah, it's okay, Dad.
I'll see you guys
back at your apartment?
Okay.
Come on, buddy.
Let's go see Mommy.
BEN: Okay. This one is
for you. This is for me.
Thanks so much.
What am I supposed
to do with this?
Just put it in your pocket
and then throw it away
somewhere else.
Can't even fold it.
It's like cardboard.
Oh, come on.
We both hate family stuff.
I think I have plans
anyways, so...
BEN: Plans?
Since when do you have plans?
You're, like,
impossible to pin down.
Well, I like to keep
my options open.
You know, I might sleep in.
I might go to the museum.
I might walk the dog.
You don't have a dog.
I might adopt one.
Return the favor.
I suspect you were a bit more
of a handful than a puppy.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I was a model foster kid.
I peed outside and everything.
So I, um...
I kinda met someone.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
What's this one's name?
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
Oh.
Serious.
She's a lucky lady, Ben.
Thank you.
(CASSANDRA CHUCKLES)
Oh.
"You have
a winning personality."
I guess I got yours by mistake.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- You're an asshole.
Here.
Let's see what your future
holds for you.
What if I don't wanna know?
Well, it's just a cookie.
(COOKIE CRACKS)
CASSANDRA: "You will."
You will what?
- Apparently, I have no future.
- Cassie.
- Do you know what this means?
- What?
It means that their printer
is broken.
We can't eat here anymore.
(LAUGHS)
(SIREN CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
ANYA: We'll have it
for you tomorrow.
My dad just needs
to pick up his paycheck.
(SIGHS) Well, let me come in
and talk to your dad.
I haven't seen him in a while.
- We can work something out.
- He's not home right now,
actually.
LANDLORD:
Look, I'll be back tomorrow.
But no more excuses.
I swear. We'll have it.
LANDLORD: (SIGHS) All right.

You gotta get, like,
Jaws of Life for that.
MVA, three vehicles.
One vehicle flipped over
with entrapment.
DISPATCH: Copy that.
Sending backup to your location.
MAN: It won't open.
BEN: All right, sir.
We're gonna get you
out of there, okay?
Just don't move.
- Hi, sir.
- (MAN BREATHING HEAVILY)
Can you tell me your name?
(GROANING) Robert.
Robert, I'm Cassie.
I'm gonna
help you out today, okay?
You're gonna be all right.
All right,
I'm gonna cut your seatbelt.
And when I do, you're gonna fall
and my partner Ben
is gonna help you out
- on that side, okay?
- (CAR CREAKING)
- Three, two, one.
- (ROBERT GRUNTING)
- (ROBERT GRUNTS)
- BEN: All right, Robert.
We're gonna move on three.
- Okay? Here we go.
- ROBERT: Yeah.
- One, two, three.
- (GROANS IN PAIN)
BEN: Okay.
You're gonna be okay, sir.
Just try and lay still.
We're gonna get you checked...
- Hey! Cassie!
- Ben!
- Cassie!
- CASSANDRA: Ben!
(CRASHES, GLASS CRACKS)
(GASPS)
(TENSE AMBIENT MUSIC PLAYING)
(HEART THUMPING)
BEN: 79 over 55.
CASSANDRA:
Dial it back, I'm fine.
BEN: You need a real workup
at a real hospital.
No, you were right.
They're roping ya in.
LORNA: Games!
MARY: You guys are ice-cold.
- (BALLOON POPS)
- (WOMEN SHRIEK)
O'NEIL: (ECHOING) Cassie!
This place has always
been a death trap. (ECHOING)
SCROOGE: Are these the shadows
of things that must be
or are they only shadows
of things that might be?
EZEKIEL:
You can't save all three!
SANTIAGO: web to be
in more than one place
at the same time.
You are the only one
who can change the future.
EZEKIEL: (SHOUTS) No!
WOMAN: Cassie!
BEN: That's it, Cassie,
breathe!
Come on!
(COUGHING)
(HELICOPTER HOVERING)
You're okay. You're okay.
Did I die?
Yeah. You were
down three minutes
- before I fished you out.
- (COUGHING)
- Three minutes?
- Yeah.
Welcome back
to the land of the living.
(CHUCKLES, COUGHING)

(PUMPING SPHYGMOMANOMETER)
79 over 55.
You need a real workup
at a real hospital
with a real doctor.
I don't need a doctor.
I trust you.
Ah, 80%. No, it's great.
Slightly above that
of a dead fish.
Ah.
All right. Well,
O2 is going up to 89.
Jump back in the water anytime.
(VELCRO RIPS OPEN)
(SIREN BLARES, CHIRPS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
79 over 55.
You need a real workup
at a real hospital
with a real doctor.
(SCOFFS)
Seriously, Ben, dial it back.
I'm fine.
Wait, wait, wait. I need
to get your oxygen levels.
Again?
What are you talking about?
My O2 is 89.
No, it's...
Oh, you're right.
(CHUCKLES)
Are you okay?
What the hell happened
down there?
I'm fine.
I just wanna go home
and watch Idol.

(GASPING)
Mm, bad dream?
It's not a dream.
I'm gonna be murdered one day.
Oh, wow, that's a buzzkill.
The same three faces.
Every night, the same vision.
It's a curse.
But we all die someday.
Nothing we can
really do to stop that.
But if you saw
who was going to murder you...
you'd try to stop them.
Okay...
You have no idea
of the torment and torture
of dying over and over again.
And I can't escape it.
So I'm not gonna
sit back and let it happen.
I will find them
and kill them first.
So you know who did it...
I mean, will do it?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
It's always those three faces.
Can you imagine
how frustrating it's been?
Trying to identify someone
I've only seen in a vision?
Mm-hmm. (CHUCKLES)
But as the years pass,
there have been
technological advances.
New ways to find people,
if you know their faces.
The kind of technology
I've heard
the National Security Agency
has been pursuing.
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
(SINISTER MUSIC CONTINUES)
(WOMAN GROANING)
WOMAN: What are you doing?
(GROANS)
How are you poisoning me?
What's your password?
I can't tell you. Oh, please!
Is "please" your password?
Tell me quickly
before the paralysis
reaches your lips
and I'll stop the poison.

Q-9-2-0...
B-3-7-5.
(STAMMERING)
Oh, God.

Believe me, it's a good thing
you had no idea
today was the day
you were going to die.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(LIVELY CHATTER)
- Hey, Cassie.
- Hey.
BEN: I'm serious. You should
open, like, a barbecue.
- Hey.
- Hey, man.
BEN: You know
what you're doing.
MAN 1: I saw him leave.
MAN 2: Yeah, I...
- Hey!
- Cassie!
- Hey!
- Hi.
Hey, the next time
you wanna go swimmin',
maybe you should stick
to Astoria Park.
Oh, that's really funny.
- You're such a funny guy.
- (CHUCKLING)
Are you pressing the burgers?
I'm releasin' the fat.
That's called flavor, man.
Plus, it's, like,
really flammable.
- Here you go.
- Oh, thanks.
You don't think that maybe
in light of recent events
I could use a beer?
Well, as you know,
the protocol is
no booze within 24 hours
of your death. So...
- Is that protocol?
- Yeah, it's protocol.
That's boring.
I feel like there's more
of a story there.
No, there's...
You guys, we've seen this
a hundred times.
It was cardiac arrest.
When your heart starts
back up again, you're fine.
Really?
Dead, huh?
Did you see a white light or...
(FLAME WHOOSHING)
Well, actually, I saw Jersey,
- so you tell me.
- Oh, come on, you saw Jer...
- Hey.
- CASSANDRA: Hey.
She hit me with a Jersey joke.
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS) Has he been
pressin' the burgers again?
Yeah, they're ruined now.
For you, sir.
Oh, now they're really ruined.
- Oh, okay.
- (LAUGHTER)
- We're ready to start.
- CASSANDRA: What?
What?
They're starting,
so you should get in there.
No, you were right,
they're roping ya in.
- Yeah. Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
Have fun.
- (LIVELY CHATTER)
- MARY: for you, okay.
Oh, my God.
- Hi. (LAUGHING)
- Look at you. Hi. (LAUGHING)
Okay. This is crazy.
CHLOE: Well, I couldn't
decide, so I got two.
MARY: Yeah, that's like...
- Hey. Hi.
- Hi.
Um, Cassie Webb.
Um, thanks for having me.
You're Ben's partner.
I'm his sister-in-law, Mary.
- Nice to meet you.
- Mm-hmm.
Ben is so excited
about being an uncle.
I don't know
what we'd do without him.
- Especially with Richard away.
- SUSAN: Again.
Where is it this time?
He's in (HESITATES) Mumbai...
Shanghai...
I can't keep track. (CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
Never stops
leaping around in there.
And always hungry.
Um, does it have a name?
The...
(LAUGHS)
We're saving that
for one of the games.
- Games?
- Games!
(ALL EXCLAIMING EXCITEDLY)
(NERVOUSLY) Games!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
MARY: Okay.
"My mother always cut
the crusts off my sandwiches."
ALL: Oh.
Chloe, is that you?
Yes.
(LAUGHTER)
My mom said the crusts
would make my hair go curly.
It was years
before I figured that one out.
(LAUGHTER)
Okay.
Whose is this?
BEN: Don't give him any money.
Oh, it's mine.
You must have at least
one fond memory of your mother.
Um, well, my mother actually
died, uh, in childbirth.
Well, but it wasn't that bad.
It wasn't like...
I mean, obviously,
it was bad, you know.
(LAUGHS) She died.
Um, but, um,
I grew up totally healthy.
Death in childbirth
is super rare.
I mean, she chose to be, like,
way deep in the Amazon
for the last month
of her pregnancy
hundreds of miles away
from any
medical facilities, so...
Okay, so let's, um,
let's move on to the next game.
(AWKWARD LAUGHTER)
SUSAN: Guess the name
of Mary's baby.
- (ALL EXCLAIM)
- LORNA: Oh, yes!
Okay, I'll kick things off.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(CLICKING TONGUE)
- Sam.
- Nope.
Steven.
- He's not named Steven.
- Shoot.
- WOMAN: Baby sausage?
- You guys are ice-cold.
- (BALLOON POPS)
- (WOMEN SHRIEK)
(LAUGHTER)
- (SIGHS)
- Richard Junior?
Richard wishes.
(LAUGHTER)
O'NEIL: Get your hamburger.
Get your hamburger.
Cassie,
what's your guess?
Um...
Mm. Hmm...
Um...
BEN: Do that thing
where you throw it up
and catch it on the...
(CELL PHONES BEEPING)
- Oh, my God.
- Ben?
- BEN: Look at that.
- The name is...
- (BALLOON POPS)
- (WOMEN SHRIEK)
(LAUGHTER)
WOMAN: Baby sausage?
Richard Junior?
- Richard wishes.
- (LAUGHTER)
O'NEIL: Get your hamburger.
Get your hamburger.
Cassie, what's your guess?
O'NEIL: Put five dollars down,
let's go.
Wait. We just did this.
BEN: Do that thing
where you throw it up
and catch it on the...
- (EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
- (CELL PHONES BEEPING)
What, seriously,
is this part of the game?
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Uh, sorry.
They're calling everyone in.
Fire down at the docks.
So...
You okay?
Yeah. I just got
a weird sense of dj vu.
- FIREFIGHTER: I got you, man.
- (MAN COUGHING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
FIREFIGHTER 2: Come on,
come on. This way.
Turn around, come on!
(SIREN BLARING)
FIREFIGHTER 3: Come on.
Go. Go. Go.
(BUSY CHATTER)
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Okay, looks like
a fractured left radius.
Otherwise stable.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Check his abdomen.
(SIREN BLARING)
Okay, and internal injuries.
Good catch.
Let's go. Come on.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)
O'NEIL: Hey, I need
to get my guys in there.
FIREFIGHTER 4:
No, it's not safe.
The structure's unstable.
O'NEIL:
Hey, the people are trapped.
We need to treat 'em
before we move them.
The place is packed
with explosives.
Industrial grade fireworks.
(GASPS)
It could blow up any minute.
(HEART THUMPING)
It could blow up any minute.
O'NEIL: Cassie!
MAN: Blow up any minute.
O'NEIL: Cassie!
(HEART THUMPING SLOWLY)
FIREFIGHTER 4: It's not safe.
O'NEIL: This place has
always been a death trap.
Come on, come on. This way.
Turn around, come on!
BEN: Otherwise stable.
CASSANDRA: Wait, wait, wait,
wait. Check his abdomen.
And internal injuries.
Good catch.
Let's go. Come on.
(SIREN BLARING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)
I gotta get my guys in there.
FIREFIGHTER 4:
The structure's unstable.
Hey, the people are trapped.
FIREFIGHTER 4: Place is packed
with explosives.
Industrial grade fireworks.
O'NEIL: This place has
always been a death trap.
Cassie!
Cassie! Cassie.
I need you at the triage.
CASSANDRA: Sir, you're okay.
You're okay.
He's stable.
Ready to transport.
PARAMEDIC: Copy that.
You're gonna be okay.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Wait. O'Neil!
Hey, what is it? I gotta roll.
Will you let me drive?
What are you talking about?
(HESITATES) I don't know.
I just have a weird feeling.
Cassie, I need you over here.
CASSANDRA:
Will you just let me drive?
Look, you had
a bad experience on the job.
I don't think
that's what's happening.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
Don't let it
mess with your head.

- BEN: Cassie, come on!
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
- (SIREN BLARING)

O'NEIL: (ON RADIO)
This is O'Neil.
Clear of dock side.
- Headed back...
- (CRASHING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
O'Neil, come on.
(GRUNTING)
Come on. O'Neil.
Come on!
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Wake up!
O'Neil, come on.
O'NEIL: Did you see
a white light or...
CASSANDRA: O'Neil, come on.
O'NEIL: Cassie! Cassie!
(SOBBING)
Come on. Come back.
Come on, come on. (SOBBING)
- Ben, help me.
- Cassie, Cassie, it's okay.
It's all right. It's okay.
It's okay. Okay?
There's nothing you could
have done. Okay?
(GASPING)
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
(SOBBING)
(MUSIC FADES)
So, was it worth the trouble?
AMARIA: The scale
of the NSA surveillance
is unprecedented.
They can access everything.
There's...
(INDISTINCT CHATTER
OVER MONITORS)
There's nowhere to hide.
That's the idea.
The potential is infinite.
It's...
It's intoxicating.
But in the wrong hands, I mean,
people can be tracked
wherever they go.
It's gonna change everything.
As long as it has the ability
to find those women now
before they get their powers.
This is what they look like
in your visions
as well as you can recollect.
EZEKIEL: Their faces have been
taunting me for years.
AMARIA: We don't know exactly
when your vision takes place,
so I'm giving us a 10-year range
just to be safe.
Here's what they should
look like now.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
They're younger
than I thought. I...
I didn't know
we'd be targeting teenagers.
They're teenagers now,
but in the future
they have powers,
and they will try to destroy me.
I came from nothing,
less than nothing.
I will not give up
everything I've built
and have my life cut short.
Well, if they ride
public transportation,
go to a museum,
get money from an ATM,
wherever they are
in the world...
Find them.
I pay you a fortune.
Yeah, I'll find them.
DOCTOR: Still no blurriness.
No double vision.
No discoloration at all.
Your eyesight is good,
and all your other vitals
check out.
Um, but what about the visions?
(CHUCKLES) How am I
seeing that stuff?
Mm, sometimes when
we experience trauma,
it can have a lasting effect.
CASSANDRA: This isn't trauma.
I knew he was gonna die.
I saw it.
Cassie, I have
all your reports here
from your other consultations.
Your head CT was normal.
Your MRI was clear.
The scan showed
no abnormalities.
I know that it sounds crazy,
I know,
but I don't understand
what's happening.
I will be recommending
that you take a week off.
Get some rest.
Watch old movies.
If you still have concerns,
I can run some bloods
or refer you to psych.
But I'm sure everything
will be back to normal
before you know it.
(SIGHS)
SCROOGE: (OVER TV)
I am in the presence
of the Spirit of Christmas
Yet-to-Come.
(SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
And you're going
to show me shadows of things
that have not yet happened
but will happen.
Spirit of the Future,
I fear you more
than any other specter
I've seen.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)
- But even in my fear,
I must tell you, I am too old.
I cannot change.
Whose funeral
were they talking about?
(TELEPHONE BEEPS)
BEN: Hey, Cass,
it's me again. Uh, Ben.
I know you're there.
Just pick up.
Okay, well, uh, O'Neil's funeral
starts at 2:00
in Poughkeepsie.
Everyone's going.
I know it's the last place
you wanna be,
but it would help Susan
if you came.
It might help you too.
Look, if you leave now,
you can still make it.
Cassie?
Cass?
(LINE DISCONNECTS)
(MICROWAVE BEEPING)
(SIGHS)
SCROOGE: (OVER TV) Before
I draw nearer to that stone,

I don't know.

Stop asking me. Okay?
Wait. You're the paramedic.
You saved my stepmother,

That does sound like me.
Wait. I recognize you too.
What?
Yeah. You live in my building.
You leave your junk mail

You don't think this is weird?

if I ran away.
Hmm. So you did.

aren't around either.
I think they resent how having

No one survives once enough
poison enters their system.
You won't be so lucky next time.
(ECHOING)
Why are you doing this?
I need to stop them
from killing me.
They're not killers.
They're just teenagers.
(ECHOING) In the future,
they become much more.
They will destroy me
and everything I've built.
Those girls cannot exist.
(ECHOING)
How come you get to decide?
Because I'm the one
with the powers.
If you knew what I knew,
you'd do the same thing.
Would I?
If I knew the price to pay
was the lives of three girls?
The only thing I know
is that, in the future,
they also have powers.
(ECHOING)
The girls? The girls
have powers in the future?
Did you think you could
beat me with your mind?
Your mother underestimated me.
The power of the spider...
Don't make the same mistake.
Tell me where they are!
They don't mean anything to you.

(MUSIC STOPS)
Rise and shine.
Okay, so this guy's hands
somehow release
an acute neurotoxin,
and it is painful.
I was lucky.
The longer he holds on to you,
the more poison
gets into your system.
Then what happens?
Then your heart stops.
But you can offset
cardiac arrest with CPR.
So you interlock your hands
like this.
You lock your elbows,
and then you place
the heel of your hand
right on the sternum. Okay?
And then you pump.
And you wanna go,
like, two inches down.
And you wanna keep a rhythm
like a heartbeat. Okay?
You ready?
Okay, begin compressions.
Go. Good.
Okay. And when do I stop?
You don't stop.
If you stop, they die.
- Oh.
- And if you get tired,
then you need somebody
to take over.
- I'm getting kinda tired.
- Okay.
- Anya, get ready to take over.
- Mm-hmm.
But you have to pick up
the exact same rhythm.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
- Ready?
- Yep.
And go.
Great. Nice, Mattie.
Not cool.
Julia, you wanna take over?
Okay.
Get ready.
Okay. One, two, three.
Perfect.
Nice job, Anya.
I've never said this before
in my entire life,
but you're a good teacher.
Well, I've been learning
some things, too.
About my mom.
(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING)
Wait, so you do know this guy.
(SIGHS) My mom did. I think.
That's her.
She's really pretty.
So, this is because of you?
All I know is that
she was researching spiders.
In her notebook,
there's some stuff
about a local tribe in Peru
that can do,
like, crazy stuff.
What kind of crazy stuff?
(SIGHS) Climb like spiders.
So, is he one of them?
I need more information.
You're leaving.
(SIGHS)
I have to go and figure out
what is going on.
How?
You have to go to Peru.
CASSANDRA:
I'll be gone a week.
I don't wanna leave them,
but he's out there
looking for them
and they're relying on me,
and I don't know
how else to protect them.
Okay, uh, look,
I'm staying with Mary
for a few weeks
while Richard's out of town.
He won't find them there.
But, Cassie, I...
I can't pretend to understand
what's going on here.
Just be careful, okay?
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Thank you, Ben.

Las Araas were a myth.
SANTIAGO: What do you think?
I think she was crazy
for coming here alone.
Mm, she came here
hoping to extract
healing properties
from the spiders.
She thought
she was being protected.
CASSANDRA: By Ezekiel Sims?
His motives were selfish.
He used your mom to find us.
But, because he stole the spider
he was cursed.
And he's been trying to outrun
his destiny ever since.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
This is where my mom died?
And where you were born.
(CASSANDRA SIGHS)
I don't understand
why she risked my life
to come here.
To see the future clearly,
you have to heal
the wounds of your past.
That sounds like literally
every therapy session
I've ever avoided.
You have to go back
to your beginning
and keep going past that.
There are powers
you don't even know
you're capable of.
Your thread did not start
when you were born.
Do you trust me?
Not really sure at this point
I have a choice.

It's a genetic

Life expectancy varies.
- Do you need a tissue?

No. No. I need a cure.
I'm afraid there is no cure.
Uh, single target
nucleotide intervention.
It's, um, it's experimental,
but there are some
promising leads in the Amazon.
That's why you went there?
For me?
I have to advise you against
traveling in your condition.
I'm sorry, what are you
offering besides tissues?
I know this is hard to accept.
No, no, I am...
I'm unwilling to accept
a diagnosis of helplessness.
And I'm not gonna
teach my daughter to either.
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

I was in the room...
I was in the room with her.
How did you do that?
You did that.
Now you're starting to see
what you're capable of.
You came here to learn
the truth about your past.
But you will leave ready
to embrace your future.
(SIGHS)
Seeing into the future
is no match for Ezekiel.
I need to stop him
before he kills those girls.
But I can't do what he can do.
I can't do the leapy, crawly,
like, death poison.
You didn't get the gift
of the greater physical strength
or the ability
to release poison,
but seeing into the future
is only the start.
Your mind
has infinite potential.
If you master your power,
you can use the web

You are the only one
who can change the future.
And when you take on

I have hacked police

I have eyes

No one helped me

My road was not

We didn't have the same choices.
You're making

I'll see you guys

Okay.
Come on, buddy.
Let's go see Mommy.
BEN: Okay. This one is

Thanks so much.
What am I supposed

Just put it in your pocket

Can't even fold it.
It's like cardboard.
Oh, come on.
We both hate family stuff.
I think I have plans
anyways, so...
BEN: Plans?
Since when do you have plans?
You're, like,
impossible to pin down.
Well, I like to keep
my options open.
You know, I might sleep in.
I might go to the museum.
I might walk the dog.
You don't have a dog.
I might adopt one.
Return the favor.
I suspect you were a bit more
of a handful than a puppy.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I was a model foster kid.
I peed outside and everything.

I kinda met someone.

But we all die someday.
Nothing we can

But if you saw

you'd try to stop them.
Okay...
You have no idea

of dying over and over again.

So I'm not gonna

I will find them

I mean, will do it?

I could use a beer?

- Is that protocol?
- Yeah, it's protocol.
That's boring.
I feel like there's more

No, there's...

It was cardiac arrest.

Well, but it wasn't that bad.
It wasn't like...
I mean, obviously,
it was bad, you know.

But in the wrong hands, I mean,
people can be tracked
wherever they go.
It's gonna change everything.
As long as it has the ability
to find those women now
before they get their powers.
This is what they look like
in your visions
as well as you can recollect.
EZEKIEL: Their faces have been
taunting me for years.
AMARIA: We don't know exactly
when your vision takes place,
so I'm giving us a 10-year range
just to be safe.
Here's what they should
look like now.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
They're younger
than I thought. I...
I didn't know
we'd be targeting teenagers.
They're teenagers now,
but in the future
they have powers,
and they will try to destroy me.
I came from nothing,
less than nothing.
I will not give up
everything I've built
and have my life cut short.
Well, if they ride
public transportation,
go to a museum,
get money from an ATM,
wherever they are
in the world...
Find them.
I pay you a fortune.
Yeah, I'll find them.
DOCTOR: Still no blurriness.
No double vision.
No discoloration at all.
Your eyesight is good,
and all your other vitals
check out.
Um, but what about the visions?
(CHUCKLES) How am I
seeing that stuff?
Mm, sometimes when
we experience trauma,
it can have a lasting effect.
CASSANDRA: This isn't trauma.
I knew he was gonna die.
I saw it.
Cassie, I have
all your reports here
from your other consultations.
Your head CT was normal.
Your MRI was clear.
The scan showed
no abnormalities.
I know that it sounds crazy,
I know,
but I don't understand
what's happening.
I will be recommending
that you take a week off.
Get some rest.
Watch old movies.
If you still have concerns,
I can run some bloods
or refer you to psych.
But I'm sure everything
will be back to normal

I don't know.

Stop asking me. Okay?
Wait. You're the paramedic.
You saved my stepmother,

That does sound like me.
Wait. I recognize you too.
What?
Yeah. You live in my building.
You leave your junk mail
in the lobby

has to clean it up for you.
Okay. Well, there should be

You don't think this is weird?

I wondered
if they missed me if...
if I ran away.
Hmm. So you did.

aren't around either.
I think they resent how having
a kid messed up their lives.
I don't think they're gonna
fly back from China

don't wanna find out, so...

have powers in the future?
Did you think you could
beat me with your mind?
Your mother underestimated me.
The power of the spider...
Don't make the same mistake.
Tell me where they are!
They don't mean anything to you.
You could just walk away.

What is this?
(MUSIC STOPS)
Rise and shine.
Okay, so this guy's hands
somehow release
an acute neurotoxin,
and it is painful.
I was lucky.
The longer he holds on to you,
the more poison
gets into your system.
Then what happens?
Then your heart stops.
But you can offset
cardiac arrest with CPR.
So you interlock your hands
like this.
You lock your elbows,
and then you place
the heel of your hand
right on the sternum. Okay?
And then you pump.
And you wanna go,
like, two inches down.
And you wanna keep a rhythm
like a heartbeat. Okay?
You ready?
Okay, begin compressions.
Go. Good.
Okay. And when do I stop?
You don't stop.
If you stop, they die.
- Oh.
- And if you get tired,
then you need somebody
to take over.
- I'm getting kinda tired.
- Okay.
- Anya, get ready to take over.
- Mm-hmm.
But you have to pick up
the exact same rhythm.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
- Ready?
- Yep.
And go.
Great. Nice, Mattie.
Not cool.
Julia, you wanna take over?
Okay.
Get ready.
Okay. One, two, three.
Perfect.
Nice job, Anya.
I've never said this before
in my entire life,
but you're a good teacher.
Well, I've been learning
some things, too.
About my mom.
(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING)
Wait, so you do know this guy.
(SIGHS) My mom did. I think.
That's her.
She's really pretty.
So, this is because of you?
All I know is that
she was researching spiders.
In her notebook,
there's some stuff
about a local tribe in Peru
that can do,
like, crazy stuff.
What kind of crazy stuff?
(SIGHS) Climb like spiders.
So, is he one of them?
I need more information.
You're leaving.
(SIGHS)
I have to go and figure out
what is going on.
How?
You have to go to Peru.
CASSANDRA:
I'll be gone a week.
I don't wanna leave them,
but he's out there
looking for them
and they're relying on me,
and I don't know
how else to protect them.
Okay, uh, look,
I'm staying with Mary
for a few weeks
while Richard's out of town.
He won't find them there.
But, Cassie, I...
I can't pretend to understand
what's going on here.
Just be careful, okay?
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Thank you, Ben.
You didn't ask for any of this.
- Okay, well, neither did you.

I promised your mother
I would be here.
CASSANDRA: My mom thought
Las Araas were a myth.
SANTIAGO: What do you think?
I think she was crazy
for coming here alone.
Mm, she came here
hoping to extract
healing properties
from the spiders.
She thought
she was being protected.
CASSANDRA: By Ezekiel Sims?
His motives were selfish.
He used your mom to find us.
But, because he stole the spider
he was cursed.
And he's been trying to outrun
his destiny ever since.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
This is where my mom died?
And where you were born.
(CASSANDRA SIGHS)
I don't understand
why she risked my life
to come here.
To see the future clearly,
you have to heal
the wounds of your past.
That sounds like literally
every therapy session
I've ever avoided.
You have to go back
to your beginning
and keep going past that.
There are powers
you don't even know
you're capable of.
Your thread did not start
when you were born.
Do you trust me?
Not really sure at this point
I have a choice.

EZEKIEL: (ECHOING)
You could just walk away.
SANTIAGO: Your thread did not
start when you were born.
CONSTANCE: They're almost
impossible to find.

She really is trying her best
to keep me from working.
Not when I'm this close.
But I'm not gonna
let her do that.
Why did you hate me so much?
CONSTANCE: Thank you.
For the umbrella.

Your test results came back.
I'm sorry to tell you
that your baby
has myasthenia gravis.
It's a genetic

But I don't have
a neuromuscular disorder.
Life expectancy varies.
- Do you need a tissue?
- (SIGHS)
No. No. I need a cure.
I'm afraid there is no cure.
Uh, single target
nucleotide intervention.
It's, um, it's experimental,
but there are some
promising leads in the Amazon.
That's why you went there?
For me?
I have to advise you against
traveling in your condition.
I'm sorry, what are you
offering besides tissues?
I know this is hard to accept.
No, no, I am...
I'm unwilling to accept
a diagnosis of helplessness.
And I'm not gonna
teach my daughter to either.
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(SOBBING)
You did it.

I always thought my mom

Sometimes you must
sacrifice yourself
for those you love.
I was there.
I was in the room...
I was in the room with her.
How did you do that?
You did that.
Now you're starting to see
what you're capable of.
You came here to learn
the truth about your past.
But you will leave ready
to embrace your future.
(SIGHS)
Seeing into the future
is no match for Ezekiel.
I need to stop him
before he kills those girls.
But I can't do what he can do.
I can't do the leapy, crawly,
like, death poison.
You didn't get the gift
of the greater physical strength
or the ability
to release poison,
but seeing into the future
is only the start.
Your mind
has infinite potential.
If you master your power,
you can use the web
to be in more than one place
at the same time.
You are the only one
who can change the future.
And when you take on
the responsibility,
great power will come.

Every day that goes by,
my appointment with death

And you still

How can she have kept
three teenagers

I'm running checks
every three minutes,
scanning CCTV camera.
I have hacked police
and emergency services
frequencies.
I have eyes
on all of their houses,
including friends and family.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Still nothing.
Do you understand?
Huh?
Those girls cannot exist.
They will try to destroy me,
as I will you
if you don't find them.
(SNAPS FINGERS)
She can't hide them forever.

- Guys, either I peed myself
or my water broke.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
Ew!
Well, honestly,
you probably peed yourself
because that isn't
supposed to happen yet.
Richard's not here,
and the baby isn't due
for four weeks.
I don't think the baby
got the memo, Ben. (GROANS)
- Okay.
- Okay. Okay. Uh...
Looks like we may have to wait
a little while for the...
