You Are Not Alone

FERRIS: Despite the coalition,
I expect the Americans
to put their interests first,
just like we have.
How is it working out with Finola?
She's settling in.
Why do you do this?
I want to be sure the good guys
get this technology before anyone else.
MAN: It was found on a roof
on a farm in Wisconsin.
Yeah, we'll take that one too.
MADDOX: Whoever they are,
they have something we don't.
Isn't that why you're here?
There are billions of stars,
billions of planets.
The odds that this debris
found us are impossible.
I think what we're doing here
will change the course of humanity.
MADDOX: George Jones, he's alive.
- BRYAN: That's impossible.
- MADDOX: MI-6 stays out of it.
Do you know what you're asking me to do?
- It's her father.
- I know you can handle it.

Cadillacs, they had a trim line
called the Fleetwood after
Fleetwood, Pennsylvania.
The Fleetwood Brougham,
big car in the '80s.
And, of course, Peeps.
Insane for Peeps.
FINOLA: What's a Peep?
BRYAN: Come on.
- You've never had a Peep?
- FINOLA: No.
BRYAN: A little marshmallow candy?
FINOLA: No, I've never
eaten a a Peep.
BRYAN: Wow. Crack-like.
Some people think they taste
better when they're stale.
I happen to be one of those people.
So, what, like there's some whole
secret Peeps sub-culture, then?
You have no idea what you're missing.
We owe the people of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
a great deal of gratitude,
and I'm not afraid to say it.
Everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm just, um,
trying to connect with my sister.
I'm a little worried, actually.
I've still got some fires
going on back in London.
What's up?
Nothing, it's just
It's like, a complex situation.
We've never really got along,
and dealing with my dad's estate
[imitates explosion]
Been here three weeks,
feels like three years.

FINOLA: Looks like this has
already hit the local news.
What are we gonna go with
this time, gas leak?
"The Russian Space Agency
struggles to control
experimental rocket."
Fantastic.
We're gonna blame the Russians.
[helicopter whirring]
Lester.
- Bryan.
- Agent Jones.
Hey. Finola.
Here's what we know so far.
An upper atmosphere research satellite
clocked a close fly-by.
Picked up a signature
like a piece of Debris.
It entered our atmosphere.
Based on witness accounts,
it landed somewhere in
the town around 1 a.m.
We evacuated all residents,
but haven't located the Debris.
As the sun came up,
all this metal began to move
from the town and form the line.
Does it have something to do
with the sun,
or is it coincidentally
as morning was happening?
We don't know.
And only objects made of metal?
Metal, alloys. Seems that way.
BRYAN: Is it a magnetic field?
LESTER: We're not picking any up,
and it's not affecting all metals.
It seems to be selective,
like it's choosing what it wants.
BRYAN: I've never seen Debris
have an effect like this.
Lester, do we have to suit up?
Clocked in at 23.
LESTER: They're just finishing testing.
Nothing sinister.
Nothing sinister.

- GROHL: Hey.
- Hey.
- Sorry I'm late.
Those oversight guys
run on their own schedule.
It's the new normal at the CIA.
It was bad when I left.
Here. Have a Rolaid.
Thanks.
How's the family?
[sighs] You know.
What can I tell ya? It is what it is.
Have a seat.
Is this true?
As far as we know.
George Jones is alive.
GROHL: What happened to his eye?
MADDOX: We don't know.
GROHL: Well, who are these people?
They're recovering the Debris,
but to what end?
Are they selling it?
To the Russians, the Chinese?
- Are they Are they terrorists?
- Not entirely clear,
but it seems that they are
very, very well-funded.
Well, how does George play into this?
We're looking into that, too.
He was buried five months ago.
How is this even possible?
We're looking into it, Harris.
[sighs]
What does this mean as far as
all the information George
holds about the Debris?
Well, we have to assume it means
they know what we have.
What we want, what we
what we're trying to build.
Harris. He wrote the whole playbook.
- I know.
- Listen to me.
I'm gonna get answers.
But my hands are gonna get a bit dirty.
Including with the Brits.
Well, it's your division.
And, uh
as far as I or the director knows,
you are on a journey.
You're so astounded by
the sights you're seeing
that you haven't found time
to call home yet.
[rumbling]
[metal scraping]
Okay, sats have got us.
Take the northeast corner.
KAZEMI: Copy, Jones. Over here.

Can you, um Can you get some Graders?

BRYAN: What's your last name?
Um I I don't
I don't remember.
You can't remember your last name?
I can't remember. Okay?
- Do you live in this town?
- Yes, I live here.
Why didn't you comply
with the evacuation?
You should be in Reading.
- I need to do something.
- FINOLA: It is not safe
for you to be here right now.
I'm just I'm trying to
figure something out,
and then and then I will leave. Okay?
What are you trying to figure out?
I mean, I don't even know
if I want to do it.
You know what I mean?
Like when you, uh
When When you, um
Uh
When you, uh When you can't decide,
I, uh Okay, how about this.
Gimme 30 minutes to think it over,
and then I will go, I swear. Okay?
You don't understand. Please.
Hey, hey. What's got you so upset?
Watch him for a moment.
I think the Debris is affecting him.
I mean, something's going on with him.
He hasn't even said a word
about the moving metal,
which is kind of hard to miss,
don't you think?
Maybe we should get Chin
to run more tests
before we continue here.
I'll cut bait if you want to.
Give me two seconds to
think about this. Please.
Let's, um Let's just
look out for each other.
Yeah?
Kazemi, can you take him
to base for an eval?
- Copy.
- ERIC: You can't do that.
Please, just let me go. Please?
Just let me go, okay? I'll remember it.
Please! Please.
I'll remember it. I'll remember. Please.
I just Just give me
two seconds to think about it!
You can't do this to me! Please!
FINOLA: Hey, Bryan.
Look at this. Updated sat scans.
It's encircling the town.
Yeah.
Like it's meant to keep people out.

Brandt, I can't hear you.
Can you say that again?
BRANDT: We've got a bit of
cellular disruption.
Do you copy?
BRYAN: Affirmative.
We're running
all the equipment right now.
Are you getting it?
- [static]
- Didn't get that, Bryan. Go again.
We're running all the equipment.
Are you receiving?
BRANDT: Yeah. We're still not
getting any Debris signatures,
but another part of the wall
is being constructed
on the northeast side of town.
- [static]
- Okay.
We'll head out, take a look.
[scraping]
Don't bother. There's no signal here.
I'm sure she'll call.
Do you have siblings?
No.
She's just
she's so hard to deal with.
My dad really left me
holding the bag with her,
and that wasn't
I don't know.
I haven't really gotten over that.
When was the last time
you saw your father?
I, uh
spent all night with him,
with his body in the morgue.
And I just keep thinking about
the last thing he ever texted me.
I didn't realize it at the moment,
but by the time that I had read it,
he had already taken his own life.
What did he say?
"You are not alone."
I spent that whole week
trying to find my sister
to tell her he was dead.
She was strung out
in some house somewhere.
I've never felt more alone in my life.

Why is there blood on your clothes?
I was trying to get to a meeting,
but all the cars were locked.
I She tried to stop me!
She forced my hand.
Bryan to base camp. Do you copy?
I couldn't let her get in my way.
We have a person of interest, over.
- 15 people for this job. Me!
- I need you to send in whoever you have
available to try to locate Agent Kazemi.
We lost contact. Copy?

I've got him, too.
Please. I just need to find something.
Then I'll leave.
[helicopter passing overhead]
Man, am I glad you're okay.
- KAZEMI: How many are there?
- So far? Three.
- Including yours.
- Can't get it out of my head.
I What's the right thing to do?
I don't know. What is
I I don't know what to do.
We know this man has been cloned.
More importantly,
why is the Debris cloning him?
BRYAN: He must have
come in contact with it.
So maybe it's forming a circle
to protect the clones.
Yeah. Or the cloning process.
Maybe. Let's find out what they know.
Kazemi, stick with yours in lab three.
- I'm gonna take lab two.
- I got trailer one.
- Learn what you can.
- Okay.

Come on. Ah! I have to go!
[grunting] I can't miss this,

BP elevated, cortisol levels

I need you to try and tell me
what's the last thing you remember?
KAZEMI: What are you
trying to work out, Eric?
Just let I just

Mr. Woo likes him better.
His PowerPoints, they're great!
Eric, focus. What do you remember?
Look, this is a this is a decision
that is going to affect everything!
Where were you before we
found you at the warehouse?
Just [sobbing] It hurts.
It hurts so much.
What does?
I'm talking about accomplishments!
I'm talking about the ladder rung!
I'm talking about a mountain to climb!
FINOLA: I'm trying to find out
what happened to you.
I need to evaluate. Okay?
Is it right? Is it wrong?
What is too much? Maybe it's not enough.
It just keeps [stammering]
It's spinning!
I'm trying to have my own identity!

Did you find the ball of light?
What ball of light?
[sobbing]
Hey. It's okay.
I made a mistake.
I I had it all.
And now it's lost.
What did you lose?
Her.
What we have is real.
Everything else
- [mouthing]
- is not.
Well, maybe yours is the original,
and that's why he's still alive.
I don't think any of them
are the original.
- Why not?
- Genetically,
they're identical, but none of them were
emotionally fully formed.
I think what we're seeing are
three different fragments
of one guy's personality.
Maybe the original Eric they came from
is still in the town.
They're dying, maybe he's dying.
I mean, they were cloned from him.
Do you think they're still
connected to him?
[sighs] I don't know.
They say when you're dying,
your life flashes before your eyes.
Think about your biggest regrets.
Mine was freaked out
about professional goals.
Yours was weighing some major decision.
- What was yours?
- He lost a girl.
It's like they all haven't
reconciled with something.
He did also ask me about
a ball of light.
What does that mean?
I have no idea.
[cell phone chimes]
Prints came back.
His name is Eric King.
FINOLA: This must be the girl
he was talking about.
Wow.
He posted a few days ago
that he's no longer in a relationship,
and just got a job in San Francisco.
- Brandt.
- It's not just making
a ring around part of the town.
It's actually forming
a mathematically perfect circle.
I'm sending you the coordinates now.
BRYAN: We've got something.
The center of the circle
that's forming around the town
Yeah.
It's Eric's home address.
FERRIS [on phone]:
As you know, the buyer
that teleported
into the pillar is ex-SAS.
We haven't been able to identify
the others from the hotel,
but we have seen the one
in the center before, though.
He's traveled through Lisbon
on a different alias last week
than the one you said he gave at JFK.
Our alliance is coming up on
seven months now,
and if you recall, a few weeks ago
we talked about the need
for greater transparency
to move forward without stagnation.
I know you care about Bryan,
like I care about Finola.
And with the two of them in the field,
it is more important now
than ever to show all cards.
Priya, it's in both of our interests
to find out who these new players are.
What do you think I'm holding back?
Are you alone?
Yes.
Well, with that in mind,
we've only just received
this information.
We think he's part of a group
calling themselves Influx.
They are actively seeking Debris.
From what we know,
they're not affiliated
with any government, and their
financing seems to be independent.
We've got the BDO Financial Crime
and Fraud Investigations
looking into their money.
And I'll keep you up to
speed when we know more.
As will I.

Hey, Kazemi.
KAZEMI [on radio]: Go for Kazemi.
I've found a blood trail down here.
I think he fled.
Can you search the surrounding area?
There's a lot of blood,
and I don't think
he could have gone far.
KAZEMI: Copy.

Oh, I'm sorry. Can you just grab that?
Okay. Thank you.

FINOLA: Yeah, well,
I've been worried about you.
All right? I just want to
make sure you're okay.
Hm. I wasn't the one who ran off,
and followed Dad's work to America.
Dee Dee, that's not fair.
And you didn't answer my question.
It's 2 a.m. for you. Are you okay?
You don't have to keep asking me that.
Well, I do if you're not going to answer
any of my calls. It's important that
we stay together and keep connected.
Sorry, I don't understand.
You're saying that
you want to be together,
but you're saying that
you can't come home.
But you're saying that it's
important for us to be connected.
You know what I mean, Dee.
We just have to
just pull ourselves together
and just stop fighting.
Dad is the one that
left us in this hole, okay?
Because I am going through
the same exact thing you are.
I don't care what the report said.
- Dad would never do this.
- Yes, well, he did, Dee!
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
Can't I just see you?
I mean, can't you just come home?
I can't.
I can't just get on a plane

Yeah.

from the impact.
Uh, Kazemi told me.
They're still searching.
Um, you know, I was thinking
with the the clones,
the order in which the first two died.
- Yeah?
- Let's say
they were connected to Eric.
Maybe if he is out there dying,
he's surrendering parts of himself
that matter the least.
Basically, when you're dying,
you're freezing to death
out in the elements,
your body will give up
the unnecessary parts
to protect the most important thing.
Yeah. Your heart.
If that's true, then he's out there
hanging onto what matters most.
You know, I can't help but wonder
what aspect of you I would have seen
in your clone that matters most.
Because you're more than
just a Federal agent.
- But it's the only thing you show me,
- Right.
and that is the least important thing.
Okay, well, shoot. I've told
you that I'm from Texas,
my parents still live there,
I went to school there,
joined the Marines,
told you how I see the world,
I don't have any brothers and sisters.

Who was in the picture
you were looking at?
Why do you carry it with you?

makes his way to the garage,
struggles to the car,

even though we're disabling it.
Well, he got in the car,
that's for sure.
