Alphas s02e02 Episode Script

Previously on Alphas - Gary? - Nina, Gary's in trouble.
He needs us.
They came.
- I'm here for Gary, not you.
- Right.
What happened between the two of you? I woke up.
Yeah, is that what you call pushing everyone you meet? You need help.
I need to run the program.
I decide what happens to the Alphas we locate, I approve of the assignments, and with no interference.
Gary and I just found something that is huge.
This is from the Civil War.
There's Stanton Parish.
Out there somewhere, planning God knows what.
Let's get to work.
[Droplets splashing.]
[Thunder rolls.]
[Slow motion car horn.]
[Laughter.]
[Slow motion laughter.]
[Laughter fades out.]
Hello, Dr.
Westman.
Jay? [Upbeat rock music.]
Don't say no for an answer and there's no telling where we've been 'cause people don't understand understand, understand people don't understand people like me [Moaning softly.]
What's wrong? Nothing.
It's just, uh now that your dad's back when he asked me to check in on you, I'm not sure this is what he had in mind.
[Sighs.]
Oh, I don't know.
He did grow up in the '60s.
Dani, when we tell him, things are bound to get weird.
And then, of course, there's Nina.
- Mm-mm-mm.
- Mm.
No ex-girlfriends in the bed.
I like this.
I don't want it to change.
Well well, we don't tell him.
- Send the files over.
- All right.
They're gonna want a pros and cons Details, just got 'em.
Morning, Dr.
Rosen.
- Uh, good morning - It's my chow! - Whoever you are.
- No one is allowed to use it! - Where's my pudding? - It's only my stuff! That's a rule! No excuses! - Agent Bell, listen! - No, don't touch me.
- Hey, hey, hey! - Get away from me! What is going-- easy, easy.
Easy, partner.
- Gary, Gary - Gary, please.
Gary, you know better than to shove people like that.
What happened? They provoked me! I'll show you! Look.
Where's my pudding? Hadn't even expired-- with this crap! Both: Gary.
- None of this is mine! - Gary, Gary.
It's all theirs! Well, maybe he didn't understand how important your shelf is to you.
You want to start arguing with office mates-- No, no! I shouldn't have to explain.
My name was on there! Well, we'll put your name back, all right? No, no! It's not all right! 'Cause even if it's just my pudding, it's still stealing.
It's stealing! He should go to jail! Both: Gary.
- Bill, arrest him.
- Okay-- - Don't provoke me! - Don't touch him.
All right? Don't touch him.
Dr.
Rosen! I'm slamming my door! [Glass shatters.]
[Exhales.]
- Hey! - Hey.
Suck up all those little dust mites yet? Hey, I just cleaned there.
No, you know what, actually? It's dead skin.
Whose, I have no idea.
The really nasty stuff was on the phone.
Just breathing through it.
Fake it till you make it.
She in yet? You know Nina isn't the most prompt person in the world.
Hmm.
It's gonna be weird, isn't it? You two working here together? No, no.
We'rewe're cool.
Really? 'Cause your pupils just dilated.
And your heart rate is up.
Good to have you back, Rach.
Gotta love that government start paperwork.
You know, to be honest, I did enjoy putting "mental institution" under "previous address.
" I see we have quite a few new faces here.
Analysts mostly here to support you and your team.
Yeah, which, loosely translated, means "keeping an eye on me.
" You're an indicted felon who was on a court-ordered psych hold.
Had to call in a lot of favors to get you out.
Well, let's not pretend it was an act of benevolence, Nathan.
You need me.
I'm not your enemy, Lee.
If you're gonna accomplish anything, we're gonna have to do this together.
Fair enough.
Perhaps you can tell me something about this.
TNK America crash.
Uh Cargo train exploded outside of Jersey City.
Destroying 9 tons of high-sulfur coal of pressure-treated lumber, and 30 cars of copper wire and municipal-grade electrical equipment.
Yeah, it set the Con Ed maintenance schedule back six months.
What's on your mind? With every loss, there is often a beneficiary.
I'm just wondering who benefited from this.
The FBI have any suspects? It was an accident.
I saw the preliminary D.
O.
T.
report.
There was no evidence of a device.
That's exactly how Stanton Parish operates.
In the shadows.
His signature is often no signature at all.
Is that what this is about? Your 200-year-old Alpha bogeyman? You advocate bloodshed and war.
Nothing that you or I can do to stop that.
It's inevitable.
You'll forgive me if I try.
Well, I wish he were, as you intimate, a delusion.
But he is very real, Nathan, and, I believe, extremely dangerous.
[Footsteps approaching.]
So, uh, we gotta keyword hit.
NYPD.
We have an assault and possible abduction.
A whole lotta weirdness.
Good to have you back, Lee.
May I see that, please? Why don't you just get settled in, and Hicks and I'll take care of it.
I'm settled in fine.
May I see that? He stepped here and here.
[Indistinct radio transmission.]
Then there.
Whatever.
Doc, listen.
Witness statements say that whoever attacked this guy, no one actually saw him.
So what's up with Gary-vision? Eat my pudding at 2:30.
But I can't, because it was stolen.
Gary, please, we need your help.
Yeah, I know.
Ok, I found a blur.
We're looking for someone blurry.
And, Bill! It's not Gary-vision.
It's electromagnetic perception.
Right.
Here.
- How fast is that footage? - Four frames a second, or five.
They should upgrade, though.
Bill, this guy is moving almost ten times normal human speed.
All the while, dragging a grown man.
He must be burning at least My pudding had calories.
Now I'm never gonna get to taste them.
[Tingle.]
Wait.
I found the same blur.
Here.
Broadway and 9th.
There.
He's crossing the street.
Not--Dr.
Rosen, he's not using the walk signal.
That's reckless.
That's five blocks from the kidnapping.
Bill, let me speak with Rachel, please.
Right.
- Gary--[Sighs.]
- Hello.
Rachel, it's safe to say, we're looking for an Alpha with an extraordinarily accelerated metabolism, which means his body could literally be eating itself.
- Okay.
- So, uh, you should be on alert for an odor.
Something like, um, bad breath or rotten meat.
So, basically, he was emitting ketones? You could have just said that, Dr.
Rosen.
I smell cheese and pasta, sour wine and [Sniffs.]
lilac perfume.
New girlfriend? I accidentally bought the wrong soap.
- Really? - Yeah.
- You did? - [Coughs.]
That's definitely the wrong soap, Hicks.
- It's this way, you guys.
- Yes.
It's definitely in here-- the scent.
Man, this place stinks.
You smell that? I don't know, Doc, it seems like some sort of fish, uh, processing plant or something.
You know, I think we need to call in tactical.
Bill, this is a kidnapping.
We do not have time to wait for a TAC-team.
Every second counts.
[Coughs.]
Kind of lost the scent.
All I smell is fish.
- We got this, Rachel.
Back out.
- Okay.
Hey, check this out.
It's wiped down.
Somebody must have grabbed it.
Look at this.
Don't touch that.
Remember, you don't want to put prints on those.
All right, we'll, uh-- plan "B," then.
Why don't you do your thing and rip this puppy off.
Watch this.
Brains over brawn.
Works every time.
- Oh, oh, ouch! - [Grunts.]
You okay? What the hell? [Gasps.]
I traced the prints on the screwdriver to Eli Aquino.
One arrest, a couple years ago, for stealing cars in Queens.
Now this guy was chased for four blocks by a motorcycle cop.
Was clocked at 45 miles an hour, on foot.
Yeah, which brought him to the attention of the D.
O.
D.
, who decided to forgo the constitutional niceties of due process, and directly sent him to Building Seven.
He was out as soon as Scipio and his guys opened the doors.
Yeah, good.
That was a bad place.
Hey, Binghamton sent Eli's medical records.
They should be in the drop box.
Rachel, I thought you had taken a break.
I've seen dead bodies before.
No, that's not what we talked about I believe Rachel can decide for herself.
Gary, can you get that drop box? Yep.
[Beep.]
Oh, yes.
Just as I suspected.
Eli has an enlarged suprachiasmatic nucleus.
This is the region of the brain that controls our circadian rhythms, and this accounts for his enhanced speed.
But it comes at quite a high price.
Gary, would you go back to the picture of-- yes, this one.
Now this is Eli when he was arrested two years ago.
And there should be another photo.
[Titters.]
[Beep.]
Yes.
And this is his high school yearbook picture.
Four years ago.
Four years ago? That would make him 22.
But he looks so much older now.
That's because he is, Rachel.
He ages at an ever-accelerating rate.
It's a condition similar to progeria, but it's much more acute.
Okay, so what happened.
I mean, getting older doesn't turn you into a murderer.
This guy have "kill a guy with a screwdriver" on his bucket list? He doesn't have a history of violence.
As far as we know, Bill.
Gary, would you check and see if there have been any similar crimes since the breakout? Bill, I think we should bring Mrs.
,uh, what's her name? Already on it.
Have them bringing up the victim's wife.
So I'll see if she's got a connection to Eli.
In the meantime, Rachel and Hicks can check out incident reports.
Lot of work to do, folks.
Let's go.
[Coffee pot clanks.]
Hey, how's it going? Miss anything exciting? Uhuh, no.
Just the, uh, usual craziness.
Glad I slept in.
No! Don't even think about it! Government jerk-ass! Gary, take it easy, relax.
No, that's what he is.
A jerk-ass.
It's good.
He fears me now.
Oh, hey, Nina.
You're late.
We start at 9:00 a.
m.
So nice to be back.
Oh, Hicks, I can't find anyone else who was killed with a screwdriver.
I found some other people who were killed with wrenches, though.
Yeah, screwdriver's not the important part, Gary.
Uh, Eli's fast.
Speed.
We're looking for speed.
Oh, well, why didn't you tell me that in the first place? And Hicks [Tingle.]
You need to respond to your texts.
You've got six texts.
If someone sends you one, then you should respond to those, when someone sends you-- Okay, Gary, I'll take care of that.
Thanks.
He never answers his texts.
What did you have for breakfast? You had something good.
It says It says, "this morning was yummy.
" Did you have pancakes? Gary, that stuff is private.
We've talked about that, haven't we? Oh, it's Dr.
Rosen's daughter.
You had pancakes with Dani Rosen? Gary, I swear to you, listen.
Now you tell anyone about this, I will kill you.
No, you wouldn't kill me.
That'd be premeditated homicide.
You'd go to jail.
You'd go to jail.
Oh, what've you got there? Too much.
[Sighs.]
What do you think? What is it? Van Gogh? That's an amazing print.
Print.
[Titters.]
Right.
Nina.
What? Nin-- Don't start, okay? It's beautiful.
This is very upsetting.
What are you gonna do? Just push whomever shows up here to reclaim this when they realize-- I like it.
It matches the couch.
Nina, your life is out of control.
And it's more than just the painting.
You know it is.
You also know what you need to do to reclaim it.
Show up here on time, you have to honor your commitments, and no pushing unless absolutely necessary, or I can't have you on this team.
Right? Sorry.
Hi, Nina.
Nice painting.
I think Bill needs help interviewing the wife, so-- Sure.
I've never seen him before.
I've already been through this with the police.
All right.
She doesn't know anything.
We need to be sure.
Are you in charge here? 'Cause I need to go.
I have funeral arrangements to make.
Yes, I understand, ma'am.
We're moving as quickly as we can.
Now, this young lady's gonna ask you a few questions.
If it's all right, hmm? [Sighs.]
[Whispers.]
Gently.
[Sniffles, sighs.]
Calm down.
[Distorted voice.]
What do you know about him? Nothing.
I've never seen him before.
Like I said, she doesn't know anything.
Great.
Is there anything else we should know? Anything you're hiding? I had an affair with Jay's brother.
We never paid taxes on any of the money that Jay made at the clinic in Stamford.
I stole a scarf once from Bloomingdale's, because I just didn't want to stand in line.
Okay, thank-- thank you very much.
I masturbate every day, when Jay goes to work.
[Coughs.]
Nina.
Thank you.
What? No, you're not sorry! You people are always in my way.
I'm trying to do important work here.
Gary, Gary, you all right? No, he made contact with me.
- You okay? - I don't like these people.
Well, listen, to tell you the truth, I don't either, but we have to work with them for now, so just try to be more polite.
Maybe you should just ignore them, all right? Listen, have you come up with any similar crimes? Barely any.
Just one so far.
Similar to Dr.
Westman's? Yeah, just like it.
Abduction on 8th and Ellis.
And the people there said that all they saw was a blur.
But that's the only one I found, so I'm gonna keep looking.
Well, we'll need to speak with the investigating officer.
He's not there yet.
The police only just got the call.
Happened eight minutes ago.
What? Eight minutes ago? Gary! Wh-- Yeah.
Just happened.
Maybe the victim is still alive.
Well, yeah, his number's listed, and he has a service.
Do you want me to ping his cell? Yes, yes, immediately.
Please.
- Okay.
- Bill? You saw me once a week for six months.
You expect me to believe that, huh? I saw many patients.
I'm sorry.
I don't remember! Let me tell you something.
You know what? It doesn't even matter, okay? 'Cause you're a dead man.
You're a freaking dead man.
I'm gonna cut your throat.
[Box cutter clatters on ground.]
[Air blasts, door slams.]
Move it! Move! Patrol the block! [Heart pounding.]
[Air whooshes.]
[Panting.]
He kept saying that he was a patient of mine.
But I'm telling you, I have no idea who he is.
Uh, perhaps you will recognize him now, hmm? That kid.
What does he have to do with this man who attacked me? It's the same person-- Eli Aquino.
He suffers from accelerated aging.
Okay, who are you people, anyways? And why am I not speaking to the police, here? Because we are the ones that saved your ass.
[Clears throat.]
We work with the police, Dr.
Casey.
Now you're gonna need some protection.
But in order for us to provide you that, we're gonna need your cooperation.
Otherwise, you're gonna look like this, if he comes back looking for you.
That's Jay Westman.
Was Jay Westman.
He worked for the Yankee Medical Group.
Is that a clinic in Stamford, Connecticut, by any chance? Yes.
Well, what were you doing there? We were researching therapies in pediatric hyperactivity.
Mmhmm.
I was not in charge of anything.
I just administered the BWE.
And that's all.
You administered the BWE? What is that? Brainwave entrainment therapy.
Uses light and sound to alter brain structures.
Highly controversial.
As far as I know, that has not progressed beyond the experimental stage.
Wait, what are we saying? That he's using kids as guinea pigs? Listen, all those parents signed releases.
And we did do some very significant research.
Yeah, well, your significant research is coming back to kill you.
[Monitor beeps at steady pace.]
[Groans.]
[Whimpers.]
[Tone warbles.]
[Sighs.]
[Gently.]
Easy now.
[Sighing.]
That should help with the pain.
Thank you.
It's better than morphine, and you don't need a prescription.
The doctor's don't think that she'll come back for a last good-bye.
Meaning, she'll have a few long, gray, painful weeks, and then she'll be gone.
That's awful.
No one should have to bury a grandchild.
I've buried 31.
She's the last.
She was a lovely child.
She only knew me as a distant cousin.
[Chuckles.]
I'm glad we spent time together.
How's your father? Now that he's amongst the free? Anxious? You couldtalk to him.
Explain how things could be.
You said you wanted to reach out to him.
He needs to get there on his own.
At least part of the way.
And Cameron? He's good.
He's a nice guy.
Which is kind of a first for me.
Hmm.
I hope that you two can remain friends.
What? With your father back, you can't afford to lose control of your emotions.
You know how you get when you're involved.
We all make sacrifices.
[Car horn blares.]
[Grunts.]
Hey! This is nice surprise, huh? Couldn't get through the day without a little Hicks fix? That was literally my best line.
Come on.
What's up? [Sighs.]
Look, Cam, uh I like youa lot.
Yeah.
Um, and this has been great.
"This has been great"? Where is this going? It's like you said, um, my dad's back now, and things are too complicated.
So, um, I think it's probably best if we just end this.
Now where is this coming from? Come on.
Come on, we have a connection, right? No, no, look.
We have a connection, and I'm not talking about him.
It's brain chemistry, Cam.
- No, no, Dani, that is not it.
- It's the way my ability works.
Dani, that's not it.
Look, every guy I've ever been with has said the same thing, okay? It's a hyperlimbic feedback loop.
What you're feeling, it's not real.
Listen to me.
- No, we're not - Dani.
- Real, okay? - Dani, don't do this, okay? Sorry.
It's unbelievable, what this guy's been doing with these kids.
Forget pulling his license, this guy needs to go to jail.
You're right, of course, but we have to let him go.
What are you talking about? Bill, it's only a matter of time before Eli tries to get at Dr.
Casey again.
And, uh, when he does, you and Cameron will be waiting.
You want to use him as bait? Doc, are you-- do you know how fast Eli is? Casey will be dead, and Eli will be gone.
Yeah.
And I also know how fast Cameron can react.
And you too, when you need to.
And what, with the support Gary is providing, I am betting on this team.
Doc, there is no team.
Whatever team we have is not ready.
I think they are ready, Bill.
Why are you doubting my decision? 'Cause I've been here for the last eight months, every day, okay? Yeah, mmhmm.
And you've been back--what?-- Less than a week? Listen, Bill, I know what you're going through.
I went away, and things fell apart.
And you took control of the team.
And now I'm back, and it's causing you a lot of anxiety.
Losing control has never been something you've been comfortable with.
This about me losing control? Is that what you're saying? - Listen.
- I'm a control freak? Bill, you've taken care of things marvelously since I've been gone.
You and I both know what happened here is because of your ego.
Excuse me? You went on national television talking about Alphas.
Yes.
Without telling us? Without telling me? Why did you pull that stunt? Because I needed to.
No, no, what you needed.
You needed to hear your name.
You needed to make some kind of statement, and we were left to clean up the mess.
Hell, yes, I've got doubts! If you truly feel that way, maybe you should just go.
Yeah.
Wouldn't want to be on the other end of that thing.
Just tranq darts.
We're laying a trap for Aquino tonight.
Look I know you're angry, andI get it.
No, seriously, Nina, I'm over it.
Well, I'm not.
I never should have used my ability on you.
Sometimes it just it happens, and I didn't even know I was using it.
And we had something.
AndI ruined it.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
I want to make things right.
I want us to try again.
[Clears throat.]
Look, Nina, I'm seeing someone.
What? Who? Doesn't matter.
No, I want to know.
It doesn't make any difference.
Tell me who she is! [Intense drone.]
Nina, what's wrong? Don't pretend you didn't know, okay? Because you know everything! [Door slams.]
It seems quiet.
You sure the entrances are clear, Gary? Yeah, don't worry.
I'm on my game.
Dr.
Casey's building has really good cameras.
Anything, Hicks? - Uh, sorry, what? - Come on, focus, bro.
Know Casey's a douche, but we're supposed to keep him alive.
Hicks is distracted by his girl problems.
Ha! I don't have girl problems, so I have complete focus.
You're having problems with Nina, huh? No, he had breakfast with Dani Rosen, and she said that it "was yummy.
" But Hicks wouldn't tell me what they ate.
- Is that so? - Hmph.
Wait, Hicks, was breakfast not really breakfast? Was breakfast sex? I am not having this conversation right now.
- Hicks, I broke your sex code.
- Dani Rosen? With either one of you.
[Tape snaps.]
[Knock on door.]
Nina's not returning any of my calls.
Dr.
Rosen I've never seen her this upset.
I don't know what to do-- [Sighs.]
Well, Rachel, um she'll be fine.
She's just working on some things.
I've seen her like this before.
Andyou shouldn't worry about it.
- Do you need some help? - Uh, no, no.
I'm all right.
Why don't you go home? You can get some rest.
You know what? I'm gonna go to the stakeout.
Eli's really fast, and the guys could use an extra set of eyes.
You're right, Rachel.
Thank you.
[Air whooshes.]
Nina-- [Air whooshes, phone lands.]
Eli? [Panting.]
Please.
Don't make me hurt you.
I'm not here to kill you, but I I will if you don't do what I want.
Well, what is it that you want, Eli? I just-- I want you to stop this.
Please.
Is that why you killed Dr.
Westman? Be-because he wouldn't help you? No, he just--he didn't care.
[Stutters.]
He pretended like he didn't remember me.
Like I just--I didn't-- I was nothing.
Like I didn't matter.
I'm not like those doctors, Eli.
I promise you, I do not see you that way.
I'm 22 years old! Look at me! It was wrong, what they did to you.
Eli, I know how precious time is to you.
I will do everything I can as quickly as I can to help you, but I need you to trust me.
Please.
Are you really having sex with Dani? Oh, did we not finish talking about this? I mean she's Dr.
Rosen's daughter.
- Please, somebody, say yes.
- No, I don't understand.
Okay, you break up with Nina, because she used her ability on you, but then you like it when Dani does? It's manipulation both ways.
- No, it's totally different.
- How? Well, you know, hot steamy sex is always different.
So that's the difference, huh? Hot sex? No, it's not-- Listen, it's about a connection, okay? Now Dani says it's her ability, butI'm telling you, I never felt this way, but, please, let it go.
This is wrong.
Mindblowing sex could never be wrong, ever.
No, this.
This is wrong.
Okay, we've been here for too long.
Eli--he's not patient, right? He doesn't have time-- What, are you the Eli expert, now? Come on now.
In the office, I felt something.
Bill, I think we're waiting in the wrong place.
[Sighs.]
Come on, you two.
[Door opens.]
Gotta try to stay still, but I'm just, [scoffs.]
You know, I'm not good at it.
What does it say? Uh, Eli, I know this is difficult for you.
Just.
[Sighs.]
We're getting there.
And I just want you to know that the MRI is just one of many tests that I'm going to need to run.
[Hits ceiling.]
Oh, God.
They ran me through a million of those things at Stamford.
Well, do you remember the names of any of them? Of course, I don't.
Or any of the equipment they used? All I know is they kept putting me through stuff, and things just got worse.
I just kept getting older and faster, and older and faster.
Maybe that was their intention.
[Sighs.]
Who's this dude? I know him.
You know Stanton Parish? I don't know his name.
But I saw him a few times at the clinic.
Wait, wait.
He was a patient? No, man, he ran the joint.
Why do you have his picture? Do you work for him or something? No, no, no.
I most certainly do not work for him.
Eli, what else can you tell me about him.
How about nothing, all right? He's not the important one here.
I am.
So let's focus on me a little bit, okay? Focus.
Rosen's phone is on voicemail.
[Cell phone rings.]
I'm gonna call Cley.
Dani? Cam, it's me.
Look, I'm at the office.
There's a guy here with my dad.
It just--I don't know.
It doesn't feel right.
[Breathing trembles.]
[Phone breaks on floor.]
- Who the hell is this? - It's my daughter.
She just called somebody! She's screwing the whole thing up! Listen, Eli.
Listen to me please.
I promised to help you and I will.
Now you want some answers? I think I know where we can find some.
Just leave my daughter out of this.
She has nothing to do with this.
[Muffled screams.]
You okay? You all right? He took my dad.
I don't know where.
Okay.
Gary I need you to ping Dr.
Rosen's phone now.
His phone's at the office, but it's broke.
But he has the extended warranty, so that's okay.
I don't care, okay? Do what you have to do to find him.
Let's go.
Okay, he just went past the camera at 287.
He's going really fast and he's going to get a ticket.
Oh, but there's road construction.
Want you to watch for upcoming exits, okay? Find us an alternate route.
We need to catch up to them.
Dani, don't worry, we won't lose 'em.
[Sirens.]
[Car engine turns off, car door opens.]
It was here.
The medical clinic was here? You're sure about this? Yankee Medical Group? Yeah, I remember that church.
Well, I'm sorry Eli.
I'd hoped we'd find some answers here.
What now? More tests? Yes, we can do that.
No.
Oh, man.
This is so unfair.
I just want things to go back to the way they were.
I have to be honest with you.
That's not going to be possible.
We may be able to slow down the process, but it cannot be reversed.
[Car engine revs.]
You told him where we were going? [Tires screech.]
No, no, I didn't.
- No, you did! - I promise you, I didn't.
You never wanted to help me.
You're just like all the rest.
[Air whooshes.]
Over there.
They're in the church.
I can slit his throat faster than you can pull that trigger.
Cameron, no! No one is killing anyone here today! I'm gonna die anyway.
Listen to me, Eli.
You could have years left to live.
Don't throw that away.
- You said I could trust you.
- Yes, and you can.
I know how desperate you feel right now.
No, you don't.
Nobody does.
There's nobody like me.
- Dani, stay back! - Eli.
- Dani.
- It's okay.
You shouldn't have followed us here tonight.
I can help.
[Energy crackling.]
[Hyperventilating.]
Oh, my God.
[Sighing.]
It feels so good to slow down.
Thank you.
[Gunshot.]
Dani! Who took the shot? Who took that shot? He was just a kid.
An investigation is currently underway.
It's still not clear who took the shot.
So you guys are saying you didn't do a chamber check? An investigation is underway.
Uh, Nathan, we have complete confidence in you and your team.
I'm sure Agent Harken wasn't trying to imply anything.
I appreciate that.
I know you'll get to the bottom of this.
But said, uh, I'm sure you can see that my team is a little out of sync at the moment.
It's entirely my fault.
I take full responsibility for that, 'cause I really haven't been able to make them comfortable with all the changes around here.
I get it, we're jammed in here pretty tight.
Yes, we are.
It would be easier if we had a little more space-- breathing room, if you will.
Believe me, my people are saying the same thing.
Well, I'm not surprised.
Um, but, you know, we may all be in luck.
Bill, was it you who told me about the third floor being available for lease? Yeah, I did.
I told you about the third floor.
Third floor? Yeah, the entire third floor.
I'll look into it.
[Chuckles.]
Played that one really well, Doc.
"An investigation is under way"? You looked like you wanted to strangle him for that, but-- Bill, I told that young man that he could trust me.
And-- and he was gunned down just-- [sighs.]
Listen, Bill, um-- what you said earlier, about my motives, my hubris, there's probably a lot of truth in that.
I have let you all down in some fashion.
And, uh, and I hope to make it up to you.
Look, um, I wanted to be straight with you.
Please.
I want to be with him.
I appreciate your candor.
You deserve to be happy.
As does Mr.
Hicks.
Just be careful.
Hey, where's Nina? Has anyone heard from her? Hicks hasn't.
But he has heard from Dani.
He calls her "baby", which is weird, because they're the same age.
Gary, listen, I will kill you, okay? No, I'll kill you first.
I get up at 7:42.
[Chiding.]
Gary.
What happened last night was--was very, very wrong on probably every level.
Sheer incompetence or something worse.
Yeah, it was the government.
They killed him.
That's what they do.
They're jerk-asses.
Dr.
Rosen, I told you, I tried to warn you, when they stole my pudding.
Well, be that as it may, Gary, we are going to continue to work with Mr.
Cley, and his tactical agents, and his group of analysts.
But with one very important adjustment-- they will no longer be privy to any of the inner workings of this office.
They may very well have killed our first concrete connection to Stanton Parish.
Wait, are you saying that Stanton Parish is connected to Eli's death? Rachel, I don't know, but I'm not ruling anything out.
But if he is, it has some very serious implications.
Which means that the people in this room, and this includes Nina, are the only people that you can truly count on.
From this moment on, you are to consider this as your only circle of trust.
[Monitor beeps at steady pace.]
- [Groans softly.]
- Sleep well, sweet angel.
[Monitor beeps rapidly.]
[Groaning.]
Shh, shh, shh.
[Gasping.]
[Monitor flatlining.]
[Indistinct chatter.]
Thought I might find you here.
Hmm, always the most expensive, right? I hear you killed another Alpha.
That's not fair.
Yeah, well, a lot of people like me die around you, but it's never your fault.
All right, so what's going on with you, Nina? Why haven't you returned our calls? I'm done.
- You're what? - I'm done.
So you can tell Rachel that she can have the Van Gogh.
It's pointless without the couch.
And consider this my resignation letter.
Oh, and, umFYI Hicks is nailing your daughter.
Nina, it's important for you to be among people you can trust when you're like this.
- Trust? - Alone is not good-- - [distorted voice.]
Stop talking.
Get this through your head.
It's over.
I'm gone.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry, we're closing.
