[SIMONE] I just met your daughter.
- [SIMONE] She single?
- Very.
[CUTTY] You best slow that roll.
[SIMONE] My dad is uncomfortable with me
dating the daughter
of a woman he's dating.
I am finally living my dream.
So this is the end of the road.
Relationships are about timing.
And I guess this just isn't ours.

Maybe death will suit me.
Lethal injection suits no one, Foster.
It tears your insides apart.
Still, there is a certain solace,
knowing when you're going to die.
The day, the exact time. [CHUCKLES]
I often think of the man
I was when we first met.
Arrogant, blinded by rage
Waste your own time,
Foster, but not mine.
You said you had additional
murders to confess to, huh?
I do.

8:58 on the West Coast.

18 years ago, I had a great purpose.
But I was too proud
Proud? You killed people
with anthrax letters.
You were a coward.
I know who I was and who I've become.

I am but an instrument
used by a higher power.
Oh, please. Please don't tell me

Or this morning.
Okay.
[LAUGHS] Now, Babygirl,
I'm too old for shame.
Okay, and I'm too young
for this conversation.
- [CUTTY LAUGHS]
- You and Ms. Ruth
have been spending a lot of time
together lately.
I told her I love her.
Daddy, is that the first time
you said that since Mama died?
And you said you would
never find love again.
Ah! Look at God! Won't he do it?
[CHUCKLES] Oh, one more thing.
We're thinking about moving in together.
You know, Daddy, Ruth's place
is twice as big as ours,

We're just talking about it.
No decisions have been made.
That means that I'm gonna be
running into Dina quite a bit,
which could get awkward.
Do not say, "I told you so,"
'cause you did warn me.
But it's okay.
I mean, our parents are in love,
and we're both adults,
and it'll be fine.
Probably.
- [BRENDON] Hey, you.
- Hi.
Thought I'd pick you up
a little pick-me-up.
What you working on?
I'm analyzing paint quality.
For what case?
The case of which color
will look best in my duplex.
I've tested all the paint brands,
and Benjamin Moore is superior.
You don't live in a duplex.
No. I'm repainting
one of my rental properties.
I have new tenants.
[CHUCKLES] What?
You're a-a landlord?
And you said "properties"?
As in, like, multiple?
Why didn't you tell me about that?
We haven't dated that long.
I like to maintain an aura of mystery.
Keeps the romance alive.
Yeah, I support that
I guess. Um
Speaking of which, I, um, hope
this isn't a romance killer.
But I got a Google alert, uh,
from one of those dumb gossip sites,

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
There's a terrorist attack
in San Francisco.
Wheels up in 20.
- Oh. Yeah.
- Good luck.
Uh, no. You're coming with us.
[GARZA] The drone was piloted
into the boardroom
of a San Francisco hedge fund.
It released some kind of
unknown poisonous gas,
killing six people almost instantly.
Sounds like a biological weapon.
Any indication as to which?
Well, that's the reason why
you're on that plane, Antoinette.
You're gonna find out for us.
Any idea who's behind the attack?
Foster Mills.
How is that even possible
when he's on death row in Idaho?
Yeah, which is where I'm calling from.
Foster is scheduled to be
executed tomorrow night,
and apparently, he's not going quietly.
Somehow he managed
to put this attack in motion,
even though he lives under a microscope.
Do we know why he would
target a hedge fund?
That's an unknown.
But I expect that
you'll get clarity at the scene.
Don't worry about it, boss.
We got your back.
No, not you, Simone.
The jet's gonna drop you off
here in Idaho
and take the rest of the team
to San Francisco.
Why?
Because I need a wild card, okay?
Foster has me here for a reason.
He understands how I operate.
He's got some sort of game plan
as to how he's gonna play
this thing out.
So I want him off balance.
I want him on his heels.
And that's where you come in.
It's the only way
we're gonna get to the truth.
You know how I'm always saying
don't doubt the power of
Black girl magic?
Even that has its limitations.
Hopefully not on this one.
Because if I know this guy,
what happened in San Francisco
is just the beginning.
[ALARM BUZZES]
You were the one who brought him in.
I mean, boss, you know him
better than anyone.
What's not in his file?
He's found religion
Or some perverted version of it.
Sees himself as channeling
a darker power.
Do we think that's real,
or does he just have us
out here chasing shadows?
That's an unknown.
He definitely talks the talk.
But our priority is to find out
how he managed
to orchestrate a mass murder
from solitary confinement, okay?
The rest is just a distraction.
Yes, sir.
I'm not looking for magic,
and I'm not expecting a miracle, okay?
Foster is just like any other
high school malcontent
that sat in your office and thought
that their anarchy made them special.
That's it.
Maybe.
But none of them
came with a body count
or a ticking clock.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
How'd they get the drone
inside the building?
Scrubbing surveillance footage now,
but we're thinking loading bay.
Take a pretty skilled pilot
to fly through this entire
building with no eyes on it.
Assume nothing.
The pilot could work here
or posed as a delivery person
who walked the flight path a day ago.
We'll pull footage going back two weeks.
We need to examine that drone ASAP.
No one's going in there
until the CDC's Chemical Emergency
Response Team can decontaminate.
They'll be here in a few hours.
We can't wait. Another attack
could be imminent.
I'll go in. I have extensive
hazardous materials training.
- I just need a suit.
- You don't have to do that.
And you don't have to run
after the sound of gunshots.
But you do.

And what if I refuse to talk to you?
Hmm. Then I go back home,

Any unique markings on it?
[ANTOINETTE] It's a factory model,
but the undercarriage has been modified
to hold a box with the gas canister.
Something that customized
could lead us to their maker.

There was another attack.
Four people were killed
in a Dallas elevator
after it was rigged
to release a poisonous gas.
"I. Am. Many" was spray-painted
on the doors.
Do we know who the victims are?
Four venture capitalists
who were on their way back
from celebrating a corporate takeover.
[CARTER] No way our drone killer
could have gotten
from San Fran to Dallas in time
to pull off the elevator murders.
Which is why we need to figure out
how "many" there are in "I. Am. Many."
So, tell me you found something
actionable in San Francisco.
Not yet, but I'm bringing the drone
back to the lab to analyze it.
If we're lucky, I'll be able to
source a unique component
and ID a suspect.

able to figure out
how Foster's been communicating

Not yet, Brendon.

that Foster has checked out
in the last year.
None of them have hollowed-out
pages for a burner cell.
Nothing is written in the margins.
It was worth a shot, huh?
What are you doing with my books?

Listen up.
Foster is using a numeric code
hidden inside library books
to send messages through
the prison librarian,
Campbell Marsh.
Do you think Campbell
will give up the other acolytes?
No. When he was confronted,
he cut his own carotid and died.
But the prison sent us
the names of every person
that Campbell met
- or communicated with.

I'll cross-reference it
with the list of drone-rig buyers
Antoinette gave us.

And it looks like he just flew
back from San Francisco.

and you get Foster's message.
The book we recovered is his
final message to his followers.
I'm almost afraid to ask what he said.

He said, "With the blood of the wicked,
we shall save this world.
From our deaths come life. I. Am. Many."

No. How's it going with Mr. James?
Nothing so far.

People who will kill without remorse,
who will die for a cause.

But you know what's nagging me?
It's the "why now?" of all this.
What do you mean?
Well, Foster's been in prison
for 18 years,
and now all of a sudden
he has followers?
How did he get them?
The only contact he's had
with the outside world
is this interview he did two years ago.
Okay. So what are you thinking?
He's using this interview as
some kind of recruitment tool?

The answers lie in First John 5:19.
"We are certain we come from God

He was communicating
to Foster's acolytes
through a dark-web message board.
Can we track the messages?
It's encrypted, and we don't
have the password.

Yeah, but that could take days.

And these attacks are only gonna ramp up
until Foster's execution tonight.
Okay, let's look at this
a different way.
How did the acolytes get
the dark-web address in the first place?
And the password to get in?
Someone had to have led them there.
Foster. Foster did it. In his interview.
Yeah. Foster Mills was just
another faceless killer
rotting away in prison
until he got his execution date
and a televised platform.
He could have used that
to light the fuse.
Foster's original letters
always spoke in ciphers.
