Borrow or Rob

There's a boot logger.
They're gonna know we were here.
That's why I'm changing the grades on the backup server.
And that helps us how? Once I zero out the local drives, they'll have no choice but to restore them from the backups.
Yada, yada, yada, new grades in place.
No sign we were here.
You're welcome.
Psh.
The cops are here! Like, not the campus cops, the real cops! Oh, God they've entered the building.
We have to go.
Now! - Just give me a minute.
- We don't have one.
(keyboard clacking) Let's go, guys, come on.
Agh! Uhh! I did not enjoy that! The cops saw us.
What if they can I.
D.
us, man? This is so, so bad.
Actually, this is very, very good.
See, now we know the true police response time, so if we account for that here and adjust the other variables accordingly, booyah.
- Next time, we'll - Next time, we'll study! Oh, God.
Well, you did it.
Officers, you caught us.
A bunch of dumb college kids just trespassing on campus as dumb college kids are wont to do.
Now, you could take us down to the station, I get that.
Fill out all that boring paperwork, but for what? I mean, it's a silly misdemeanor.
So why don't we just chalk this up we just being out here - Agh! - (taser clacking) Uhh! Ohh.
(grunts softly) (distant sirens) (chuckling) You look tired.
You need a pick-me-up? Beats the hell out of espresso.
It was fun pretending to be somebody else for the weekend, but I'm on the clock now.
Dr.
Jekyll and Agent Reade.
(chuckling) (snorting) Nikki, I gotta get ready.
You feel ready to me.
Shepherd looked me right in the eye.
Just before There was nothing you could do.
That's the problem! I mean, Shepherd goes where she wants.
Does what she wants.
Kills who she wants! There's nothing that we can ever do.
Well, not entirely.
She didn't count on us finding Clark.
She killed him because he knew something.
Clark was lucid for a second.
He mentioned something about "The Truman Protocol.
" Does that mean anything to you? No but, look, I'll look into it.
Uh, in the meantime Property records.
For Ellen Briggs.
(Weller) This is everywhere that Shepherd lived before she went off the grid? Meaning Roman and I might have lived there, too.
We need to send you and Roman to every one of these addresses.
See if any of them trigger anything that leads us to Shepherd.
Hey, sorry to interrupt.
There's something you need to see.
What are you doing back here already? I'm okay I saw a doctor, and she said there's nothing physically wrong with me.
All the more reason to get checked out psychologically.
An okay person doesn't collapse at work.
I had to come in today.
For a tattoo.
You solved a new one? Actually, this one solved itself.
By design, this tattoo had to be solved today.
How is that possible? There's an equation hidden in the tattoo.
Its variables correspond to real-world economic values stock prices, commodities, futures.
This morning, for the first time, the equation balanced out.
- So something is about to go down.
- But what? I'm not sure yet, but I'm pretty sure it involves lithium.
In order for this equation to work, its market price had to pass an all-time high.
What's so special about lithium? It's the main component in all modern high-capacity batteries.
Everything from smart phones to electric cars.
Lithium powers the things that power everything.
It's quickly becoming the new oil.
But what about the tattoo itself? It's the seal for a secret society at Jameson College called Daedalus.
The smart guy from Greek mythology.
Made Icarus's wings, right? Stop looking at me like that when I know things.
Pretentious college kids and lithium.
That does not add up.
Maybe they're mixing it with Jaeger and doing shots? (chuckles) All right, how secret is this secret society? Very members have a strict code of silence, but a partial list of alumni was leaked a few years back.
(Nas) Wow, that's some pretty heavy hitters here.
Fortune 500 CEOs, a couple of senators.
Even a former chairman of the Federal Reserve.
(Weller) No And Gord Enver.
Yeah, I thought you might like that one.
Why does that sound familiar to me? Because it's Rich.
com's real name.
Please tell me we don't need to bring him in.
We need a member who will talk.
And no one likes talking more than Rich.
(elevator bell dings) (Zapata) What the hell? Looks like someone found religion.
(Jane) Looks like someone found all the religions.
Children, let us pray.
You've got to be kidding me.
(whispered prayer) Bless this mess.
You done? We need to ask you for a little help.
Say no more.
With a case.
I'd love to help you, but, uh, I'm actually pretty busy trying to investigate the spiritual plane and reclaim my tattered soul from eternal damnation.
We have some questions about Daedalus.
True answers come from within, Jane.
Cooperate and we can make your incarceration far more comfortable.
What can you offer the man who wants for nothing? (Weller) The rest of your time in prison becoming a living hell if you don't cooperate.
Every home is a prison.
Every prison a home.
I have no home, ergo, I have no prison.
So your religion is Fortune Cookie.
It's easier to hide behind simple jokes I get it.
Just tell us what this is.
How'd you get this? What is the formula doing on your body? What do you mean? What's "the formula"? (handcuffs clinking) Okay, off the record, it's an old Daedalus tradition.
It's a risk-reward algorithm we use to determine which risky activity is actually worth the risk.
Cheating on tests, shoplifting unprotected sex you know, the fun stuff.
But some alumni have actually taken to using it in their post-college lives to justify some pretty shady business dealings.
Like becoming a dark web kingpin.
Let he who is without sin Please focus, Rich.
(Weller) This version of the formula what's it for? Oh, Gott im Himmel.
This is bad.
This is very bad.
What's bad, Rich? Koran Surah 5:101.
"Do not ask about things which, if they are shown you, will distress you.
" I'm already distressed! What does it mean? Matthew 24:7.
And nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
This permutation of the formula determines the optimal time to start an armed conflict.
And, according to these numbers, that time is today.
What are you saying, Rich? Call your family and tell them you love them.
Because this is a formula to start a war.
Basically, Rich is right.
There's nothing basic about it I'm right.
The formula's been tweaked to determine at what point lithium becomes so expensive that it's more cost effective to just, you know, invade another country and take theirs.
- (Weller) Which country? - Hard to say, based on the data set.
All major conflicts begin with a catalyst, a casus belli, if you will.
Anyone can start a war if they find the right spark.
And blame it on the right country.
See? She gets it.
All you need to do is force the government's hand with a large enough attack.
So what's the attack, and which country's getting framed for it? And which members of Daedalus are involved in the conspiracy? How should I know? I belong to a very different club now.
Okay, so you're gonna pontificate? Start waxing poetic on who else we should look at in Daedalus.
Zach Riley.
He's gotta be involved.
You know Zach Riley? Know him? He got me into Daedalus.
The guy who wants to colonize the moon? Oh, he's more than just the moon guy.
His software, RileyShare, was practically the birth of digital music distribution.
Sold it for billions.
Now he's a major player in everything from artificial intelligence to electric cars.
He's also a major ass-hat, okay? It's like me, but without the wit or the looks or the char You know what? It's not a good comparison, okay? - Imagine - Oh, my God.
Electric cars are powered by lithium.
There Riley Motors is one of the biggest buyers of lithium in the hemisphere.
So if the U.
S.
invade the right country, they could save him billions.
I want to know where Zach Riley is, right now.
Anyone else in Daedalus that we should know about? Well, there's probably one guy I should mention.
No.
N-N-N-N-No.
You didn't tell me he would be here.
I if this is another one of your schemes to get me back, I swear I had nothing to do with this.
- (scoffs) - You like nice, by the way.
Don't talk to me, don't look at me Don't look at you? Come on, look at me! I'm a changed man because of you.
You made me wanna be a better human.
Okay, so uck! You again? Lovely to see you as well.
(sighs) All right, guess where Zach Riley is right now.
Back at Jameson College, an honoree for the winter carnival.
That makes sense Daedalus will traditionally hide their meetings under the cover of larger alumni events.
It's, uh, designed to help safeguard their secrecy.
At some point during the carnival, they'll have a members-only cocktail party at The Labyrinth.
The what? Daedalus's clubhouse on campus.
(Jane) Well, we need to get in that building.
Find out who Riley's conspiring with and when the attack's gonna happen.
Good luck groups a lot scarier than the F.
B.
I.
have tried that and failed miserably.
Why go in as F.
B.
I.
when we got two card-carrying members right here? - (Weller) That's a good point.
- Me go with Rich? Uh, no, just give me the death penalty.
Oh, my God, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry? Once! You have to say it one time! Enough, you two! Can members take a date to this party? I mean, it's been a while since I've been available to attend, - but, uh, yeah, they sure used to.
- Great.
You'll go separately with a plus one.
That way, have twice the eyes and ears in there.
I'm sorry, but why would I help any of you? 'Cause I can transfer you to Victorville.
That's 85 miles from your parents in L.
A.
I know it's been a little hard for them to travel, so this way, they'll be able to visit you more often.
- As for you, Rich - Tut, tut, tut.
The Talmud states that whoever saves a life, it is considered as if they saved an entire world.
Stopping this war will save thousands of lives, and therefore, thousands of worlds.
That's quite enough for me.
(Jane) It's a war formula.
You need me out there.
No, right now, it's a recon mission.
All right? Our priority is still Sandstorm.
Nas will take you and Roman to all of Shepherd's old residences.
See if any of them trigger any memories.
Are you sure? - (Patterson) Stop touching this.
- You're touching it.
I'm allowed to, it's mine.
Yeah uh I can handle Rich.
All right? But we need a lead on Shepherd.
So, please, find out.
Yeah, okay.
We have to infiltrate Daedalus, get a pulse on Riley, and stop this attack.
So, Boston and Rich, they can get us into The Labyrinth.
Patterson, are you up for some field work? - Yes.
- Good.
You're with Boston.
Uck, Agent Granny Panties? Oh, it's not exactly Comic-Con for me, either, dude.
She knows this world.
And her tech skills could come in handy.
Rich You take Tasha.
Which one's Tasha? (Weller) That one.
(winces) No offense, but I don't think anyone's gonna buy Suzy-Frowns-A-Lot as my plus one.
And, really, there's only one person in the whole F.
B.
I.
that can maybe pass as my date.
Jane's busy.
You're not talking about Jane.
(clears throat) See, this is trust.
This is friendship.
Equal footing.
(Rich) Ahh.
That water taste funny to you? It's a little isotope that Nas cooked up.
It stays in your body for days, trackable by satellites.
You leave me for a second, I'll find you and I'll shoot you as a fleeing fugitive.
You are so controlling.
Why do I keep coming back to you? So what happened between you and Rich? He, uh, got sober in prison and realized you were the worst person ever? I don't want to talk about it.
So is there a Mr.
Boring Lab Coat in your life? I don't wanna talk about it.
(Weller) All right, we're heading in.
Can you hear us? All right, Riley went into The Labyrinth 20 minutes ago.
All right, let's get eyes on him as fast as we can.
See who he's talking to.
Uh, guys, these don't look like typical college bouncers.
Only the penitent man shall pass.
All right, well, now you're just quoting "The Last Crusade.
" Mmm! No! No, Gord Enver is not welcome here.
Phineas Gilmartin! How dare you come back here after what you did? - Oh - Under no conditions is this man to enter this building.
Phineas, you're not still mad about that? - Good-bye, Gord.
- Phinny! To err is human, to forgive is Fellas, I'm a member here.
It's just a little inside joke we play sometimes.
Okay, um, well what if I were to tell you that he is a, uh, huge racist? How 'bout that? I'm not just telling you, by the way, but You do realize getting inside that building is a matter of national security.
- So what haven't you told me? - Ow, ow, ow! Jeez! Okay, I maybe kinda-sorta forgot to mention that I'm kinda-sorta persona non grata around here these days.
Hey, now we can go check out the carnival.
Huh? Maybe take in the ice sculptures? Riley is about to start a war.
It's a bit hard to stop from out here.
There may be another way.
Come on.
People forgot about these tunnels once Prohibition ended.
But I used to use them to sneak all kinds of other things into The Labyrinth.
Hookers, Kurt, I'm talking about hookers.
I mean, if you're gonna push to be uncouth, you know.
Why does Phineas hate you so much? Apart from the obvious.
Oh, I took apart his BWM and then reassembled it on the roof of his dorm.
I don't know why he got so upset.
I'm the one that almost got expelled.
Hey, what gives? No, uh judgmental glare? No lecture on reaping what I sow? Ah, I nearly got expelled myself.
- A few times.
- What? Kurt Weller, master prankster.
Is that what you're telling me? - I want details.
- So do I.
Oh, my God.
We're having a moment right now, aren't we? - No! - You're realizing we're not so different.
We're two peas in a pod.
Yin and yang.
Isaac and Ishmael.
DeVito and Schwarzenegger.
Can you please just try and stay focused? - Oh, hey, wait.
- What? Well, this is the door, but the handle's different.
How? Well, it's not there anymore? Probably on account of all the hookers I bought up.
I mentioned the hookers, right? Yes, you did.
So what's behind that door? The closet.
- All right.
- What - Stand back.
- What are you doing? Okay.
(guests gasping and chatting) Oh, see what they did? They took out the closet to make room for the Yeah, this is better.
(guns cocking) I mean not for us right now, obviously.
(clapping) Well, if it isn't the one and only Gord Enver, everybody! I wondered how you might make an entrance.
You did not disappoint.
(laughing) Guys, please he's a member.
Well, he was a member, right, before You know what? He's with me.
- Thad Munson.
- Yes.
You're a sight for sore eyes.
(laughing) Ah, it's good to see you, pal.
(Rich) Oh, stop it.
My, who's your friend? I would like to introduce you to Kurt Enver.
My husband.
Hm.
Nice try.
But this guy's got "hooker" written all over him.
(laughter) - His arms are all burly.
- Rrr, rrr! You mind me asking where you got him? Because I'd back that stallion, whew.
Oh, he's definitely a prostitute.
(laughter) Thad, Phineas Gilmartin was giving me a bit of attitude Yeah, you know what, I'll handle Phineas.
You and your, uh, meat trophy enjoy yourself.
(sighs) Reade, Tasha what have we got on Thad Munson and Phineas Gilmartin? (Zapata) Phineas is an insurance lobbyist going through a bad divorce.
And Thad's a Wall Street guy known as The Vampire.
Buys struggling companies and sucks out every last penny.
Yeah, he just did it to a pharmaceutical company.
He raised their cancer drug prices by over 1,000%.
This guy definitely needs to be locked up, but probably not for a terrorist attack.
This is where we grew up? 15 Robin Hood Lane.
According to property records, this is where Shepherd lived when she brought you back from South Africa.
Anything? No.
You? No.
If this is where we were raised it should mean something, right? Well, let's take a look inside.
Well, what if someone comes home? Or Shepherd could be expecting us to come here.
It could be a trap.
With you two I'll take my chances.
(light music and party chatter) Hmm.
(Rich) Zach Riley, 10:00.
Standing at a table with Ah, I can't tell from here.
Ahem! Shall we? Hmm? What about now? Oof! That's Bradford Winer, international lawyer.
Does a lot of work with the state department.
If I were trying to seize resources from a foreign country I would definitely want him on my side.
Their plan of attack could be on that computer.
Can you get past his security measures? Well, technically, I'm barred by the U.
S.
government from operating any illeg Ohh! Okay.
The local security is not the issue.
The tricky part is the fob in Riley's hand.
It generates a new, eight-digit pass code every 90 seconds, and it can't be faked we need that code.
(Weller) Patterson, you got that? We'll handle the key fob.
(Weller) We'll get the computer.
Come on, honey.
(lock clicking) Hard to believe we ever lived in a place so Normal? You remember something? No.
I can't even remember the house I grew up in.
Maybe Shepherd kept us someplace different.
Shepherd took my life away.
- Roman - She took everything! - I know how you feel.
- Then why don't you feel it?! She did this to you, too! Where's your anger? Where's your hurt?! Roman hey I need you to calm down, okay? No She stole my life from me.
She's gonna pay.
(door opens) You're in pretty low gear today.
I been dating Nikki.
- Freddy's girlfriend? - Ex-girlfriend.
Oh, the ex-girlfriend of the killer you helped skip town? Do you have any idea how messed up that is? No, thought never crossed my mind, Zapata.
(Weller) Reade, Tasha, Rich and I are headed upstairs.
- You got eyes on the guards? - Only the ones in front.
Well, we're gonna have to risk it.
How do you know this is where Riley would keep his laptop? Trust me, I know more about Zach than Zach does.
We were best friends back in the day.
Till you pissed him off? No, until he pissed me off when he took something that didn't belong to him.
Haven't spoken to him since.
(grunts) (sighs) You know, actually, you could say that he pretty much set me on the path to becoming Rich.
com Rich! I don't need the origin story.
Right, nobody likes a prequel.
(latch clicks) Zachy boy.
Some people never change.
We're ready for that password.
(Patterson) All right, it should be displayed on that fob.
(Boston) Damn, front shirt pocket.
Hardest pocket to pick.
Okay, well, what if What if we just spill something on him, and he has to take the key fob out to change, right? Yeah, alone in a bathroom somewhere.
I thought you were the smart one.
I Wait Come here.
Hey, Zach! - Zach? - What are you doing? (laughing) Zach Riley! So great to see you! - (laughing) - Boston! It's been too long.
Way too long! (coughs) Oh, look at ya, huh? Hey, you put NASA out of business yet? Hey, I really want to introduce you to somebody, all right? Zach Riley, visioneer of the future, please allow me to introduce Patterson.
- Hi.
- The love of my life.
Really? I thought you were It is such an honor to meet you, Mr.
Riley.
Oh, my God, if I were a kid today, I your just your poster would just be right between Albert Einstein and Marie Curie.
I'm just a businessman who likes to dream.
Wonderful, it has just been such a treat and a half.
Seriously, thank you so much.
Okay, have fun.
(chuckling) Hands off, she's all mine.
Weller, the code is 08 28 07 18.
(beep) Uh, we're in.
Okay, I'm floating all hard drive contents to Lenny and Squiggy in the creepy black van.
Reade, Tasha, data's coming your way.
Look for anything indicating a pending attack on U.
S.
soil.
Weller! The guards are heading upstairs.
- Rich, you better wrap it up.
- Just give me a minute.
Rich That's already been invented.
- H-Has it? - Yes.
Well, why do it still have plaque? Well, okay, I'm gonna let you get back to being a billionaire, I guess.
It's so great to see you, huh? Sir, Gord Enver has been located on the premises.
Still tight with Gord, Boston? Uh uh, Gord, yeah.
We we're, um we're actually in the same complex, but we're not on civil terms right now.
- That's too bad.
- Yeah.
What's in your hand? Nothing.
Feel a little high strung? Go join a quartet.
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
Weller, get out of there.
Riley's coming your way.
Thanks for the heads-up.
What the hell are you doing, Gord? Mr.
Riley, I'm the assistant You know exactly what I'm doing here, Zach.
I'm here for what's rightfully mine.
Proof that I was the sole inventor of RileyShare, that you stole that code from me before you dropped out and moved to Silicon Valley, that your entire empire is built on a lie! That I, Gordon Meredith Enver, should be in your shoes, breathing your rarefied air as a beloved visionary instead of lurking, nameless and thankless in the shadows, like some digital thug! Give us a moment.
Gord I'm so sorry that you feel that way.
But I didn't steal anything from you.
Yeah, we developed some of that code together, but then I begged you to move to Silicon Valley with me to finish it.
No, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yes! I remember, because I couldn't believe how little faith you had in us.
In yourself.
The things we could've done together.
But, no you ran the numbers through that stupid formula and then opted to stay and finish college.
Take the safe route.
Weller, we just found a draft of a press release on Riley's laptop announcing the sale of Riley Motors so he can focus more on his space efforts.
Riley's getting out of the lithium business.
He's got no reason to be part of this conspiracy.
We're sorry about the mix-up.
He gets a little carried away sometimes, don't you? Uh, Gord, we should go.
We've wasted enough of Mr.
Riley's time.
I'm sorry, sir.
Gord If you're up for it, there's always a spot for you on my team.
- Oh, that is - That is very generous! I'm sure you'll hear from him.
Let's go, honey.
(panting) Hey It's okay.
We still have a couple more addresses to try.
Which is why we should get back on the road.
(sighs) He needs to regain his composure, and I don't think his prison cell in Zero Division is a good place to do that.
Let's let him catch his breath, okay? Then we'll get right back out there.
Okay, fine, but make it quick.
Here you go.
(sighs) Place is a bit sparse.
Haven't had much time to decorate.
At least your doors open when you want them to.
They didn't always.
- Nice flowers.
- Who's Oliver? Just a friend.
What is it? I remember something.
(Patterson) All right, the tattoo still points to Daedalus.
Even if Zach Riley isn't plotting a U.
S.
attack to trigger a war, someone else here is.
From this point on, every member is a suspect.
(Boston) This is all Rich's fault.
Sends us on some wild goose chase because of a personal grudge he can't let go of.
Okay, is there an alumni room here somewhere where we can get information? You know, it's always about Rich with Rich.
He doesn't care about other people's issues.
- He doesn't - Would you shut up about Rich! You broke up, you just need to deal with it.
At least your ex didn't try to kill you and then hand you over to a madwoman to be tortured and exploit your grief over your one true love who died because you wouldn't move in with him.
You feel better? (sighs) Kinda.
- Great.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
So can we talk about my problems again? - Okay.
- You know, Rich just will not shut up, and I have asked him on numerous occasions Reade, Tasha, keep searching through Riley's files.
See if you can find out who he sold Riley Motors to.
We're looking for anyone who can benefit from the invasion of a lithium-rich country.
Zach's right, you know.
I gave up on the software to stay in college and finish my degree a piece of paper.
(Weller) That's Congressman Kelley.
He's on the Armed Forces Subcommittee.
A piece of paper that cost me billions of dollars, okay? Are you happy now, Mom and Dad, huh? - Why don't you take that piece of paper - Rich! Rich! and roll it up real tight and shove it up your Shh! Rich.
We're on a mission.
Drop the existential crisis.
Who cares about the mission? Kurt, listen.
Don't be like me, okay? Don't waste your life on missions.
You grab Jane now, before somebody else does, and then uses her to make billions of dollars.
I know that last part didn't really make sense, but you see what I'm saying, right? (bell chiming) What's going on? (Rich) It's the Awakening.
It's a sacred Daedalus ritual.
This better not be a sex thing.
If it is, we should probably go along with it, right? We don't wanna blow our cover.
I can't believe your real name is Boston Arliss Crab.
I thought it was an alias.
You're making fun of my name when your first name is Wait, who's that guy? (Boston) Excellent question.
I got eyes on a shady-looking dude headed straight for the exit.
Follow him, but don't engage.
- We're on our way.
- If you want the heart of a lion, you must first be willing to consume it.
Who will be the first to partake with me? Stop! No one leaves once the Awakening has begun.
(chuckling) (grunting) (guests gasping) (bone snaps) Uhh! Come on.
Oh, you're definitely banned now, Gord.
Oh, suck it, Phineas.
- What's wrong with rich people? - We get bored.
Got an I.
D.
on the guy who left the party.
His name is Benjamin Oren.
He's an executive at Northlake Military Contractors.
Northlake stands to make millions if an attack on the U.
S.
led to military action overseas.
(Patterson) He's sending another text.
Right.
We're following him into the Fine Arts building.
(panting) Boston, what are you doing? Let's go! Okay.
Ohh! Hi.
We We didn't know anybody was in here.
W-We came in here to have sex with each other.
- Oh - We find each other incredibly attractive.
(gun cocks) Oh sonova.
Uh Boston! (gunfire) (all grunting) (metal clangs) (both grunting) (Weller) Patterson.
Reade, Tasha help me now.
On our way.
Rich, give me your hand.
You're giving me a gun right now? We are totally leveling up on our friendship.
- What are you doing? - Give me your other hand! I'm saving your life.
- Here.
- (handcuffs snap) - Ow! - You don't wanna run towards gunfire.
Gunfire doesn't kill people! People kill people! I guess, technically, gunfire does kill people.
(handcuffs clattering) Gah! Uhh! (both grunting) (gunshot) - Aah! - Sorry! Uhh! Ohh! Down! Uhh! (gun cocks) Drop it.
F.
B.
I.
Drop the weapon.
- Move! - Ohh! Gord? Hey, Thad, you wouldn't happen to have a tie clip or a hairpin on you, would you? Little trouble with your date? (laughing) No, it's nothing like that.
It's, um All right, look, I'm with the F.
B.
I.
There's some heavy-duty stuff going down right now, and I need to help stop it.
You're about to pull a gun on me, aren't you? Wha what makes you say that, Gord? The fact that you left the Awakening Ceremony.
You're not fleeing from the sound of gunfire.
Also, there's a pistol-shaped bulge in your jacket.
Ohh (screams) Jeez! You crazy? You could have hit me! You're lucky I need someone like you alive, Gord.
Or should I say Rich.
com? Here, is this the restaurant? Yeah, this is it.
I was watching for a truck over there and Weller was sitting right in that window with a with a woman.
Who? Agh! I don't know, I Look, uh, I need to go and check in with Weller.
Take him inside.
Yeah, okay.
(Jane) Roman Roman.
(engine revving) (crash, tires screeching) (grunting) - I killed her.
- Who? It's okay, Emma.
Emma.
Uh Weller's friend.
- Middle-aged, dark hair? - Yeah.
Weller said Emma Shaw died in a car accident less than a year ago.
You killed Taylor Shaw's mother.
Why? Why would I do that? Because Emma would have known I wasn't her daughter.
Shepherd was protecting my cover story.
Tying up loose threads.
By making me kill an innocent person.
- We need to tell Nas.
- No, Roman, wait Weller can't find out through her.
Okay? Let me tell him.
The Shaw family was very important to him.
He'll take it better coming from me.
Let's go.
So you're telling me your plan was to steal a bunch of radioactive crap and then detonate a dirty bomb at your alma mater? One of my partners was supposed to unlock this, but he's indisposed, so get to hacking! This is not a good plan, okay? I mean, no offense, but everyone's gonna know it was an inside job.
Actually, they'll figure it was him.
A Bolivian rebel with an axe to grind against the U.
S.
, killed while stealing some pretty scary stuff.
Bolivia.
A lithium-rich country.
With a government about to collapse.
Thad, come on.
This isn't you.
You dick around with pharmaceutical prices, not war! Business is business, and thanks to my recent acquisition of Riley motors, business just got very, very good.
- Zach sold to you? - And a few other members.
Lithium was getting too expensive, but we're not gonna have that problem.
No, but the F.
B.
I.
's already onto you.
They're gonna know the truth.
Once this bomb goes off, the truth isn't gonna matter.
Tomorrow morning, when an entire U.
S.
city is glowing red, nobody's gonna care what a couple of Feds and their pet rat have to say.
Now hack! I'm sorry, but my Buddhist teachings prohibit me from contributing to violence.
- (gunshot) - Ohh! Oh, my God.
You shot me in the foot! Next time, I aim higher.
Okay, okay.
Benjamin Oren's still unconscious.
The other guy's just a Northlake grunt.
- Doesn't know much.
- And Rich went missing.
- He ran, again.
- Start tracking him.
I found this on Oren.
(Reade) What's it for? I don't know, but I recognize the letters.
Riley School of Alternative Energy.
The school has a hazardous materials containment system.
Right here on campus.
- How hazardous? - Radioactive.
We figured out who Oren was texting with.
Thad Munson they just pinged Thad's phone at the school of alternative energy.
He's there right now with Rich.
We got the key so Thad's using Rich to break out this nuclear material.
They're not here to plan an attack.
They're here to execute one.
Reade, Tasha, anything on your floors? - (Reade) Not yet.
- (Zapata) Negative.
Patterson, get a local PD to help us lock down The Labyrinth until we know who else is involved.
Call in HAZMAT and pray to God that we don't need them.
No! You're too late! Oh-kay Munson, let him go.
Turn around, Fed, or your Buddhist friend here gets his third eye! Third eye is actually a Hindu (both) Shut up! I'm sorry, Rich.
I can't let him get away with that container.
That's okay, why are you apologizing to me? - I don't know why - 'Cause - (gunshot) - Ohh! Ohh! - Put the gun down.
- Okay! - (Rich groaning) - Back up.
Strontium's been contained.
- Send me an ambulance.
- Agh! Rich has been shot.
Twice.
You shot the hostage.
Your obsession with the movie "Speed" has become very unhealthy.
(groaning) (siren bloops) You know, Boston, I might actually miss you when you go to California.
Hmm.
(police radio chatter) - - (Patterson) Wait You made this? In a different life.
Well it's incredible.
How does someone this talented become a criminal? I followed my heart.
Stupid, right? So what are the chances I get a full pardon now that I'm a national hero? You do realize that your work with us is highly classified? Well, don't I get a medal of some kind? Purple Heart, Silver Star? Redemption's its own reward.
Ah, stupid spiritual enlightenment.
Ow! Jeez, that's close.
See ya.
What if I told you I could help you solve another tattoo? What? I'm here every other week.
You don't think I know what you guys are up to? What'll it cost us? All I want is for Boston to be transferred to a minimum security facility.
The white collar kind.
Tennis courts and macramé classes.
Then, at the earliest possible chance, he gets out on good behavior.
Which religion is telling you to do this? Actually, I was thinking of starting one of my own.
- That's terrifying.
- Wow How dare you.
So what have you got? I may have done a little snooping around the Jane Doe files last time I paid you two a visit.
(Weller) Of course you did.
Recognize this? Because I sure do.
Hey um I've been reading Dr.
Sun's file.
- Look - Hey, if you want me to open up to a therapist post-Borden, I'm damn well gonna do my homework on them.
I wanted to know why she left Zero Division.
Look, that file doesn't tell the whole story.
It says that she was there when Sandstorm infiltrated your group.
And that she voiced concerns about the team member that later turned out to be compromised.
But no one listened to her.
I didn't listen.
Because you were too close to the mole? How did you get over it? That feeling of being betrayed.
I I didn't.
And and it cost me dearly.
But, look, Patterson, you still have a chance.
Talk to Dr.
Sun.
Put Borden behind you.
(keys jingling) Nikki? You think Patterson will be pleased or pissed when she finds out Rich cracked a tattoo? Pissed.
Definitely pissed.
Yeah.
How'd it go today? Roman, did he remember anything? No.
It was worth a shot.
We'll find her.
Shepherd.
Yeah.
Wasn't so bad, out in the field today, with Rich.
Maybe he is finding his soul.
Well, plus, you got to shoot him.
I wish you could have seen that.
- (phone jingles) - Me, too.
(chuckling) I gotta go.
A hot date? No, I Well, I mean Yeah, but it's not, you know, it's not it's It's a date.
- (chuckling) - So I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
(door opens) Tell me you have something on Truman Protocol.
It seems to be a series of meetings that took place in the '40s in the buildup to the dropping of the A-bomb on Hiroshima.
So what has that got to do with Sandstorm now? I don't know.
You know, I've been in the business of secrets for my entire life, and I've never encountered anything this buried.
You're telling me that every Truman Protocol file has been redacted? No I'm telling you that there are no files.
That whatever the Truman protocol was, somebody has worked very hard to have it completely erased.
The F.
B.
I.
was all over me today.
They were just after Munson and his crew.
Relax.
He's taken care of.
Some advance notice would be nice.
(chuckling) Shepherd's not big on notice.
You sure the F.
B.
I.
knows nothing about our arrangement? Well, not unless you said something.
I'd die before I told anyone.
Yes or, failing that, afterwards.
Smile, Mr.
Riley.
We couldn't do Phase Two without you.
They're gonna know we were here.
That's why I'm changing the grades on the backup server.
And that helps us how? Once I zero out the local drives, they'll have no choice but to restore them from the backups.
Yada, yada, yada, new grades in place.
No sign we were here.
You're welcome.
Psh.
The cops are here! Like, not the campus cops, the real cops! Oh, God they've entered the building.
We have to go.
Now! - Just give me a minute.
- We don't have one.
(keyboard clacking) Let's go, guys, come on.
Agh! Uhh! I did not enjoy that! The cops saw us.
What if they can I.
D.
us, man? This is so, so bad.
Actually, this is very, very good.
See, now we know the true police response time, so if we account for that here and adjust the other variables accordingly, booyah.
- Next time, we'll - Next time, we'll study! Oh, God.
Well, you did it.
Officers, you caught us.
A bunch of dumb college kids just trespassing on campus as dumb college kids are wont to do.
Now, you could take us down to the station, I get that.
Fill out all that boring paperwork, but for what? I mean, it's a silly misdemeanor.
So why don't we just chalk this up we just being out here - Agh! - (taser clacking) Uhh! Ohh.
(grunts softly) (distant sirens) (chuckling) You look tired.
You need a pick-me-up? Beats the hell out of espresso.
It was fun pretending to be somebody else for the weekend, but I'm on the clock now.
Dr.
Jekyll and Agent Reade.
(chuckling) (snorting) Nikki, I gotta get ready.
You feel ready to me.
Shepherd looked me right in the eye.
Just before There was nothing you could do.
That's the problem! I mean, Shepherd goes where she wants.
Does what she wants.
Kills who she wants! There's nothing that we can ever do.
Well, not entirely.
She didn't count on us finding Clark.
She killed him because he knew something.
Clark was lucid for a second.
He mentioned something about "The Truman Protocol.
" Does that mean anything to you? No but, look, I'll look into it.
Uh, in the meantime Property records.
For Ellen Briggs.
(Weller) This is everywhere that Shepherd lived before she went off the grid? Meaning Roman and I might have lived there, too.
We need to send you and Roman to every one of these addresses.
See if any of them trigger anything that leads us to Shepherd.
Hey, sorry to interrupt.
There's something you need to see.
What are you doing back here already? I'm okay I saw a doctor, and she said there's nothing physically wrong with me.
All the more reason to get checked out psychologically.
An okay person doesn't collapse at work.
I had to come in today.
For a tattoo.
You solved a new one? Actually, this one solved itself.
By design, this tattoo had to be solved today.
How is that possible? There's an equation hidden in the tattoo.
Its variables correspond to real-world economic values stock prices, commodities, futures.
This morning, for the first time, the equation balanced out.
- So something is about to go down.
- But what? I'm not sure yet, but I'm pretty sure it involves lithium.
In order for this equation to work, its market price had to pass an all-time high.
What's so special about lithium? It's the main component in all modern high-capacity batteries.
Everything from smart phones to electric cars.
Lithium powers the things that power everything.
It's quickly becoming the new oil.
But what about the tattoo itself? It's the seal for a secret society at Jameson College called Daedalus.
The smart guy from Greek mythology.
Made Icarus's wings, right? Stop looking at me like that when I know things.
Pretentious college kids and lithium.
That does not add up.
Maybe they're mixing it with Jaeger and doing shots? (chuckles) All right, how secret is this secret society? Very members have a strict code of silence, but a partial list of alumni was leaked a few years back.
(Nas) Wow, that's some pretty heavy hitters here.
Fortune 500 CEOs, a couple of senators.
Even a former chairman of the Federal Reserve.
(Weller) No And Gord Enver.
Yeah, I thought you might like that one.
Why does that sound familiar to me? Because it's Rich.
com's real name.
Please tell me we don't need to bring him in.
We need a member who will talk.
And no one likes talking more than Rich.
(elevator bell dings) (Zapata) What the hell? Looks like someone found religion.
(Jane) Looks like someone found all the religions.
Children, let us pray.
You've got to be kidding me.
(whispered prayer) Bless this mess.
You done? We need to ask you for a little help.
Say no more.
With a case.
I'd love to help you, but, uh, I'm actually pretty busy trying to investigate the spiritual plane and reclaim my tattered soul from eternal damnation.
We have some questions about Daedalus.
True answers come from within, Jane.
Cooperate and we can make your incarceration far more comfortable.
What can you offer the man who wants for nothing? (Weller) The rest of your time in prison becoming a living hell if you don't cooperate.
Every home is a prison.
Every prison a home.
I have no home, ergo, I have no prison.
So your religion is Fortune Cookie.
It's easier to hide behind simple jokes I get it.
Just tell us what this is.
How'd you get this? What is the formula doing on your body? What do you mean? What's "the formula"? (handcuffs clinking) Okay, off the record, it's an old Daedalus tradition.
It's a risk-reward algorithm we use to determine which risky activity is actually worth the risk.
Cheating on tests, shoplifting unprotected sex you know, the fun stuff.
But some alumni have actually taken to using it in their post-college lives to justify some pretty shady business dealings.
Like becoming a dark web kingpin.
Let he who is without sin Please focus, Rich.
(Weller) This version of the formula what's it for? Oh, Gott im Himmel.
This is bad.
This is very bad.
What's bad, Rich? Koran Surah 5:101.
"Do not ask about things which, if they are shown you, will distress you.
" I'm already distressed! What does it mean? Matthew 24:7.
And nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
This permutation of the formula determines the optimal time to start an armed conflict.
And, according to these numbers, that time is today.
What are you saying, Rich? Call your family and tell them you love them.
Because this is a formula to start a war.
Basically, Rich is right.
There's nothing basic about it I'm right.
The formula's been tweaked to determine at what point lithium becomes so expensive that it's more cost effective to just, you know, invade another country and take theirs.
- (Weller) Which country? - Hard to say, based on the data set.
All major conflicts begin with a catalyst, a casus belli, if you will.
Anyone can start a war if they find the right spark.
And blame it on the right country.
See? She gets it.
All you need to do is force the government's hand with a large enough attack.
So what's the attack, and which country's getting framed for it? And which members of Daedalus are involved in the conspiracy? How should I know? I belong to a very different club now.
Okay, so you're gonna pontificate? Start waxing poetic on who else we should look at in Daedalus.
Zach Riley.
He's gotta be involved.
You know Zach Riley? Know him? He got me into Daedalus.
The guy who wants to colonize the moon? Oh, he's more than just the moon guy.
His software, RileyShare, was practically the birth of digital music distribution.
Sold it for billions.
Now he's a major player in everything from artificial intelligence to electric cars.
He's also a major ass-hat, okay? It's like me, but without the wit or the looks or the char You know what? It's not a good comparison, okay? - Imagine - Oh, my God.
Electric cars are powered by lithium.
There Riley Motors is one of the biggest buyers of lithium in the hemisphere.
So if the U.
S.
invade the right country, they could save him billions.
I want to know where Zach Riley is, right now.
Anyone else in Daedalus that we should know about? Well, there's probably one guy I should mention.
No.
N-N-N-N-No.
You didn't tell me he would be here.
I if this is another one of your schemes to get me back, I swear I had nothing to do with this.
- (scoffs) - You like nice, by the way.
Don't talk to me, don't look at me Don't look at you? Come on, look at me! I'm a changed man because of you.
You made me wanna be a better human.
Okay, so uck! You again? Lovely to see you as well.
(sighs) All right, guess where Zach Riley is right now.
Back at Jameson College, an honoree for the winter carnival.
That makes sense Daedalus will traditionally hide their meetings under the cover of larger alumni events.
It's, uh, designed to help safeguard their secrecy.
At some point during the carnival, they'll have a members-only cocktail party at The Labyrinth.
The what? Daedalus's clubhouse on campus.
(Jane) Well, we need to get in that building.
Find out who Riley's conspiring with and when the attack's gonna happen.
Good luck groups a lot scarier than the F.
B.
I.
have tried that and failed miserably.
Why go in as F.
B.
I.
when we got two card-carrying members right here? - (Weller) That's a good point.
- Me go with Rich? Uh, no, just give me the death penalty.
Oh, my God, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry? Once! You have to say it one time! Enough, you two! Can members take a date to this party? I mean, it's been a while since I've been available to attend, - but, uh, yeah, they sure used to.
- Great.
You'll go separately with a plus one.
That way, have twice the eyes and ears in there.
I'm sorry, but why would I help any of you? 'Cause I can transfer you to Victorville.
That's 85 miles from your parents in L.
A.
I know it's been a little hard for them to travel, so this way, they'll be able to visit you more often.
- As for you, Rich - Tut, tut, tut.
The Talmud states that whoever saves a life, it is considered as if they saved an entire world.
Stopping this war will save thousands of lives, and therefore, thousands of worlds.
That's quite enough for me.
(Jane) It's a war formula.
You need me out there.
No, right now, it's a recon mission.
All right? Our priority is still Sandstorm.
Nas will take you and Roman to all of Shepherd's old residences.
See if any of them trigger any memories.
Are you sure? - (Patterson) Stop touching this.
- You're touching it.
I'm allowed to, it's mine.
Yeah uh I can handle Rich.
All right? But we need a lead on Shepherd.
So, please, find out.
Yeah, okay.
We have to infiltrate Daedalus, get a pulse on Riley, and stop this attack.
So, Boston and Rich, they can get us into The Labyrinth.
Patterson, are you up for some field work? - Yes.
- Good.
You're with Boston.
Uck, Agent Granny Panties? Oh, it's not exactly Comic-Con for me, either, dude.
She knows this world.
And her tech skills could come in handy.
Rich You take Tasha.
Which one's Tasha? (Weller) That one.
(winces) No offense, but I don't think anyone's gonna buy Suzy-Frowns-A-Lot as my plus one.
And, really, there's only one person in the whole F.
B.
I.
that can maybe pass as my date.
Jane's busy.
You're not talking about Jane.
(clears throat) See, this is trust.
This is friendship.
Equal footing.
(Rich) Ahh.
That water taste funny to you? It's a little isotope that Nas cooked up.
It stays in your body for days, trackable by satellites.
You leave me for a second, I'll find you and I'll shoot you as a fleeing fugitive.
You are so controlling.
Why do I keep coming back to you? So what happened between you and Rich? He, uh, got sober in prison and realized you were the worst person ever? I don't want to talk about it.
So is there a Mr.
Boring Lab Coat in your life? I don't wanna talk about it.
(Weller) All right, we're heading in.
Can you hear us? All right, Riley went into The Labyrinth 20 minutes ago.
All right, let's get eyes on him as fast as we can.
See who he's talking to.
Uh, guys, these don't look like typical college bouncers.
Only the penitent man shall pass.
All right, well, now you're just quoting "The Last Crusade.
" Mmm! No! No, Gord Enver is not welcome here.
Phineas Gilmartin! How dare you come back here after what you did? - Oh - Under no conditions is this man to enter this building.
Phineas, you're not still mad about that? - Good-bye, Gord.
- Phinny! To err is human, to forgive is Fellas, I'm a member here.
It's just a little inside joke we play sometimes.
Okay, um, well what if I were to tell you that he is a, uh, huge racist? How 'bout that? I'm not just telling you, by the way, but You do realize getting inside that building is a matter of national security.
- So what haven't you told me? - Ow, ow, ow! Jeez! Okay, I maybe kinda-sorta forgot to mention that I'm kinda-sorta persona non grata around here these days.
Hey, now we can go check out the carnival.
Huh? Maybe take in the ice sculptures? Riley is about to start a war.
It's a bit hard to stop from out here.
There may be another way.
Come on.
People forgot about these tunnels once Prohibition ended.
But I used to use them to sneak all kinds of other things into The Labyrinth.
Hookers, Kurt, I'm talking about hookers.
I mean, if you're gonna push to be uncouth, you know.
Why does Phineas hate you so much? Apart from the obvious.
Oh, I took apart his BWM and then reassembled it on the roof of his dorm.
I don't know why he got so upset.
I'm the one that almost got expelled.
Hey, what gives? No, uh judgmental glare? No lecture on reaping what I sow? Ah, I nearly got expelled myself.
- A few times.
- What? Kurt Weller, master prankster.
Is that what you're telling me? - I want details.
- So do I.
Oh, my God.
We're having a moment right now, aren't we? - No! - You're realizing we're not so different.
We're two peas in a pod.
Yin and yang.
Isaac and Ishmael.
DeVito and Schwarzenegger.
Can you please just try and stay focused? - Oh, hey, wait.
- What? Well, this is the door, but the handle's different.
How? Well, it's not there anymore? Probably on account of all the hookers I bought up.
I mentioned the hookers, right? Yes, you did.
So what's behind that door? The closet.
- All right.
- What - Stand back.
- What are you doing? Okay.
(guests gasping and chatting) Oh, see what they did? They took out the closet to make room for the Yeah, this is better.
(guns cocking) I mean not for us right now, obviously.
(clapping) Well, if it isn't the one and only Gord Enver, everybody! I wondered how you might make an entrance.
You did not disappoint.
(laughing) Guys, please he's a member.
Well, he was a member, right, before You know what? He's with me.
- Thad Munson.
- Yes.
You're a sight for sore eyes.
(laughing) Ah, it's good to see you, pal.
(Rich) Oh, stop it.
My, who's your friend? I would like to introduce you to Kurt Enver.
My husband.
Hm.
Nice try.
But this guy's got "hooker" written all over him.
(laughter) - His arms are all burly.
- Rrr, rrr! You mind me asking where you got him? Because I'd back that stallion, whew.
Oh, he's definitely a prostitute.
(laughter) Thad, Phineas Gilmartin was giving me a bit of attitude Yeah, you know what, I'll handle Phineas.
You and your, uh, meat trophy enjoy yourself.
(sighs) Reade, Tasha what have we got on Thad Munson and Phineas Gilmartin? (Zapata) Phineas is an insurance lobbyist going through a bad divorce.
And Thad's a Wall Street guy known as The Vampire.
Buys struggling companies and sucks out every last penny.
Yeah, he just did it to a pharmaceutical company.
He raised their cancer drug prices by over 1,000%.
This guy definitely needs to be locked up, but probably not for a terrorist attack.
This is where we grew up? 15 Robin Hood Lane.
According to property records, this is where Shepherd lived when she brought you back from South Africa.
Anything? No.
You? No.
If this is where we were raised it should mean something, right? Well, let's take a look inside.
Well, what if someone comes home? Or Shepherd could be expecting us to come here.
It could be a trap.
With you two I'll take my chances.
(light music and party chatter) Hmm.
(Rich) Zach Riley, 10:00.
Standing at a table with Ah, I can't tell from here.
Ahem! Shall we? Hmm? What about now? Oof! That's Bradford Winer, international lawyer.
Does a lot of work with the state department.
If I were trying to seize resources from a foreign country I would definitely want him on my side.
Their plan of attack could be on that computer.
Can you get past his security measures? Well, technically, I'm barred by the U.
S.
government from operating any illeg Ohh! Okay.
The local security is not the issue.
The tricky part is the fob in Riley's hand.
It generates a new, eight-digit pass code every 90 seconds, and it can't be faked we need that code.
(Weller) Patterson, you got that? We'll handle the key fob.
(Weller) We'll get the computer.
Come on, honey.
(lock clicking) Hard to believe we ever lived in a place so Normal? You remember something? No.
I can't even remember the house I grew up in.
Maybe Shepherd kept us someplace different.
Shepherd took my life away.
- Roman - She took everything! - I know how you feel.
- Then why don't you feel it?! She did this to you, too! Where's your anger? Where's your hurt?! Roman hey I need you to calm down, okay? No She stole my life from me.
She's gonna pay.
(door opens) You're in pretty low gear today.
I been dating Nikki.
- Freddy's girlfriend? - Ex-girlfriend.
Oh, the ex-girlfriend of the killer you helped skip town? Do you have any idea how messed up that is? No, thought never crossed my mind, Zapata.
(Weller) Reade, Tasha, Rich and I are headed upstairs.
- You got eyes on the guards? - Only the ones in front.
Well, we're gonna have to risk it.
How do you know this is where Riley would keep his laptop? Trust me, I know more about Zach than Zach does.
We were best friends back in the day.
Till you pissed him off? No, until he pissed me off when he took something that didn't belong to him.
Haven't spoken to him since.
(grunts) (sighs) You know, actually, you could say that he pretty much set me on the path to becoming Rich.
com Rich! I don't need the origin story.
Right, nobody likes a prequel.
(latch clicks) Zachy boy.
Some people never change.
We're ready for that password.
(Patterson) All right, it should be displayed on that fob.
(Boston) Damn, front shirt pocket.
Hardest pocket to pick.
Okay, well, what if What if we just spill something on him, and he has to take the key fob out to change, right? Yeah, alone in a bathroom somewhere.
I thought you were the smart one.
I Wait Come here.
Hey, Zach! - Zach? - What are you doing? (laughing) Zach Riley! So great to see you! - (laughing) - Boston! It's been too long.
Way too long! (coughs) Oh, look at ya, huh? Hey, you put NASA out of business yet? Hey, I really want to introduce you to somebody, all right? Zach Riley, visioneer of the future, please allow me to introduce Patterson.
- Hi.
- The love of my life.
Really? I thought you were It is such an honor to meet you, Mr.
Riley.
Oh, my God, if I were a kid today, I your just your poster would just be right between Albert Einstein and Marie Curie.
I'm just a businessman who likes to dream.
Wonderful, it has just been such a treat and a half.
Seriously, thank you so much.
Okay, have fun.
(chuckling) Hands off, she's all mine.
Weller, the code is 08 28 07 18.
(beep) Uh, we're in.
Okay, I'm floating all hard drive contents to Lenny and Squiggy in the creepy black van.
Reade, Tasha, data's coming your way.
Look for anything indicating a pending attack on U.
S.
soil.
Weller! The guards are heading upstairs.
- Rich, you better wrap it up.
- Just give me a minute.
Rich That's already been invented.
- H-Has it? - Yes.
Well, why do it still have plaque? Well, okay, I'm gonna let you get back to being a billionaire, I guess.
It's so great to see you, huh? Sir, Gord Enver has been located on the premises.
Still tight with Gord, Boston? Uh uh, Gord, yeah.
We we're, um we're actually in the same complex, but we're not on civil terms right now.
- That's too bad.
- Yeah.
What's in your hand? Nothing.
Feel a little high strung? Go join a quartet.
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
Weller, get out of there.
Riley's coming your way.
Thanks for the heads-up.
What the hell are you doing, Gord? Mr.
Riley, I'm the assistant You know exactly what I'm doing here, Zach.
I'm here for what's rightfully mine.
Proof that I was the sole inventor of RileyShare, that you stole that code from me before you dropped out and moved to Silicon Valley, that your entire empire is built on a lie! That I, Gordon Meredith Enver, should be in your shoes, breathing your rarefied air as a beloved visionary instead of lurking, nameless and thankless in the shadows, like some digital thug! Give us a moment.
Gord I'm so sorry that you feel that way.
But I didn't steal anything from you.
Yeah, we developed some of that code together, but then I begged you to move to Silicon Valley with me to finish it.
No, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yes! I remember, because I couldn't believe how little faith you had in us.
In yourself.
The things we could've done together.
But, no you ran the numbers through that stupid formula and then opted to stay and finish college.
Take the safe route.
Weller, we just found a draft of a press release on Riley's laptop announcing the sale of Riley Motors so he can focus more on his space efforts.
Riley's getting out of the lithium business.
He's got no reason to be part of this conspiracy.
We're sorry about the mix-up.
He gets a little carried away sometimes, don't you? Uh, Gord, we should go.
We've wasted enough of Mr.
Riley's time.
I'm sorry, sir.
Gord If you're up for it, there's always a spot for you on my team.
- Oh, that is - That is very generous! I'm sure you'll hear from him.
Let's go, honey.
(panting) Hey It's okay.
We still have a couple more addresses to try.
Which is why we should get back on the road.
(sighs) He needs to regain his composure, and I don't think his prison cell in Zero Division is a good place to do that.
Let's let him catch his breath, okay? Then we'll get right back out there.
Okay, fine, but make it quick.
Here you go.
(sighs) Place is a bit sparse.
Haven't had much time to decorate.
At least your doors open when you want them to.
They didn't always.
- Nice flowers.
- Who's Oliver? Just a friend.
What is it? I remember something.
(Patterson) All right, the tattoo still points to Daedalus.
Even if Zach Riley isn't plotting a U.
S.
attack to trigger a war, someone else here is.
From this point on, every member is a suspect.
(Boston) This is all Rich's fault.
Sends us on some wild goose chase because of a personal grudge he can't let go of.
Okay, is there an alumni room here somewhere where we can get information? You know, it's always about Rich with Rich.
He doesn't care about other people's issues.
- He doesn't - Would you shut up about Rich! You broke up, you just need to deal with it.
At least your ex didn't try to kill you and then hand you over to a madwoman to be tortured and exploit your grief over your one true love who died because you wouldn't move in with him.
You feel better? (sighs) Kinda.
- Great.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
So can we talk about my problems again? - Okay.
- You know, Rich just will not shut up, and I have asked him on numerous occasions Reade, Tasha, keep searching through Riley's files.
See if you can find out who he sold Riley Motors to.
We're looking for anyone who can benefit from the invasion of a lithium-rich country.
Zach's right, you know.
I gave up on the software to stay in college and finish my degree a piece of paper.
(Weller) That's Congressman Kelley.
He's on the Armed Forces Subcommittee.
A piece of paper that cost me billions of dollars, okay? Are you happy now, Mom and Dad, huh? - Why don't you take that piece of paper - Rich! Rich! and roll it up real tight and shove it up your Shh! Rich.
We're on a mission.
Drop the existential crisis.
Who cares about the mission? Kurt, listen.
Don't be like me, okay? Don't waste your life on missions.
You grab Jane now, before somebody else does, and then uses her to make billions of dollars.
I know that last part didn't really make sense, but you see what I'm saying, right? (bell chiming) What's going on? (Rich) It's the Awakening.
It's a sacred Daedalus ritual.
This better not be a sex thing.
If it is, we should probably go along with it, right? We don't wanna blow our cover.
I can't believe your real name is Boston Arliss Crab.
I thought it was an alias.
You're making fun of my name when your first name is Wait, who's that guy? (Boston) Excellent question.
I got eyes on a shady-looking dude headed straight for the exit.
Follow him, but don't engage.
- We're on our way.
- If you want the heart of a lion, you must first be willing to consume it.
Who will be the first to partake with me? Stop! No one leaves once the Awakening has begun.
(chuckling) (grunting) (guests gasping) (bone snaps) Uhh! Come on.
Oh, you're definitely banned now, Gord.
Oh, suck it, Phineas.
- What's wrong with rich people? - We get bored.
Got an I.
D.
on the guy who left the party.
His name is Benjamin Oren.
He's an executive at Northlake Military Contractors.
Northlake stands to make millions if an attack on the U.
S.
led to military action overseas.
(Patterson) He's sending another text.
Right.
We're following him into the Fine Arts building.
(panting) Boston, what are you doing? Let's go! Okay.
Ohh! Hi.
We We didn't know anybody was in here.
W-We came in here to have sex with each other.
- Oh - We find each other incredibly attractive.
(gun cocks) Oh sonova.
Uh Boston! (gunfire) (all grunting) (metal clangs) (both grunting) (Weller) Patterson.
Reade, Tasha help me now.
On our way.
Rich, give me your hand.
You're giving me a gun right now? We are totally leveling up on our friendship.
- What are you doing? - Give me your other hand! I'm saving your life.
- Here.
- (handcuffs snap) - Ow! - You don't wanna run towards gunfire.
Gunfire doesn't kill people! People kill people! I guess, technically, gunfire does kill people.
(handcuffs clattering) Gah! Uhh! (both grunting) (gunshot) - Aah! - Sorry! Uhh! Ohh! Down! Uhh! (gun cocks) Drop it.
F.
B.
I.
Drop the weapon.
- Move! - Ohh! Gord? Hey, Thad, you wouldn't happen to have a tie clip or a hairpin on you, would you? Little trouble with your date? (laughing) No, it's nothing like that.
It's, um All right, look, I'm with the F.
B.
I.
There's some heavy-duty stuff going down right now, and I need to help stop it.
You're about to pull a gun on me, aren't you? Wha what makes you say that, Gord? The fact that you left the Awakening Ceremony.
You're not fleeing from the sound of gunfire.
Also, there's a pistol-shaped bulge in your jacket.
Ohh (screams) Jeez! You crazy? You could have hit me! You're lucky I need someone like you alive, Gord.
Or should I say Rich.
com? Here, is this the restaurant? Yeah, this is it.
I was watching for a truck over there and Weller was sitting right in that window with a with a woman.
Who? Agh! I don't know, I Look, uh, I need to go and check in with Weller.
Take him inside.
Yeah, okay.
(Jane) Roman Roman.
(engine revving) (crash, tires screeching) (grunting) - I killed her.
- Who? It's okay, Emma.
Emma.
Uh Weller's friend.
- Middle-aged, dark hair? - Yeah.
Weller said Emma Shaw died in a car accident less than a year ago.
You killed Taylor Shaw's mother.
Why? Why would I do that? Because Emma would have known I wasn't her daughter.
Shepherd was protecting my cover story.
Tying up loose threads.
By making me kill an innocent person.
- We need to tell Nas.
- No, Roman, wait Weller can't find out through her.
Okay? Let me tell him.
The Shaw family was very important to him.
He'll take it better coming from me.
Let's go.
So you're telling me your plan was to steal a bunch of radioactive crap and then detonate a dirty bomb at your alma mater? One of my partners was supposed to unlock this, but he's indisposed, so get to hacking! This is not a good plan, okay? I mean, no offense, but everyone's gonna know it was an inside job.
Actually, they'll figure it was him.
A Bolivian rebel with an axe to grind against the U.
S.
, killed while stealing some pretty scary stuff.
Bolivia.
A lithium-rich country.
With a government about to collapse.
Thad, come on.
This isn't you.
You dick around with pharmaceutical prices, not war! Business is business, and thanks to my recent acquisition of Riley motors, business just got very, very good.
- Zach sold to you? - And a few other members.
Lithium was getting too expensive, but we're not gonna have that problem.
No, but the F.
B.
I.
's already onto you.
They're gonna know the truth.
Once this bomb goes off, the truth isn't gonna matter.
Tomorrow morning, when an entire U.
S.
city is glowing red, nobody's gonna care what a couple of Feds and their pet rat have to say.
Now hack! I'm sorry, but my Buddhist teachings prohibit me from contributing to violence.
- (gunshot) - Ohh! Oh, my God.
You shot me in the foot! Next time, I aim higher.
Okay, okay.
Benjamin Oren's still unconscious.
The other guy's just a Northlake grunt.
- Doesn't know much.
- And Rich went missing.
- He ran, again.
- Start tracking him.
I found this on Oren.
(Reade) What's it for? I don't know, but I recognize the letters.
Riley School of Alternative Energy.
The school has a hazardous materials containment system.
Right here on campus.
- How hazardous? - Radioactive.
We figured out who Oren was texting with.
Thad Munson they just pinged Thad's phone at the school of alternative energy.
He's there right now with Rich.
We got the key so Thad's using Rich to break out this nuclear material.
They're not here to plan an attack.
They're here to execute one.
Reade, Tasha, anything on your floors? - (Reade) Not yet.
- (Zapata) Negative.
Patterson, get a local PD to help us lock down The Labyrinth until we know who else is involved.
Call in HAZMAT and pray to God that we don't need them.
No! You're too late! Oh-kay Munson, let him go.
Turn around, Fed, or your Buddhist friend here gets his third eye! Third eye is actually a Hindu (both) Shut up! I'm sorry, Rich.
I can't let him get away with that container.
That's okay, why are you apologizing to me? - I don't know why - 'Cause - (gunshot) - Ohh! Ohh! - Put the gun down.
- Okay! - (Rich groaning) - Back up.
Strontium's been contained.
- Send me an ambulance.
- Agh! Rich has been shot.
Twice.
You shot the hostage.
Your obsession with the movie "Speed" has become very unhealthy.
(groaning) (siren bloops) You know, Boston, I might actually miss you when you go to California.
Hmm.
(police radio chatter) - - (Patterson) Wait You made this? In a different life.
Well it's incredible.
How does someone this talented become a criminal? I followed my heart.
Stupid, right? So what are the chances I get a full pardon now that I'm a national hero? You do realize that your work with us is highly classified? Well, don't I get a medal of some kind? Purple Heart, Silver Star? Redemption's its own reward.
Ah, stupid spiritual enlightenment.
Ow! Jeez, that's close.
See ya.
What if I told you I could help you solve another tattoo? What? I'm here every other week.
You don't think I know what you guys are up to? What'll it cost us? All I want is for Boston to be transferred to a minimum security facility.
The white collar kind.
Tennis courts and macramé classes.
Then, at the earliest possible chance, he gets out on good behavior.
Which religion is telling you to do this? Actually, I was thinking of starting one of my own.
- That's terrifying.
- Wow How dare you.
So what have you got? I may have done a little snooping around the Jane Doe files last time I paid you two a visit.
(Weller) Of course you did.
Recognize this? Because I sure do.
Hey um I've been reading Dr.
Sun's file.
- Look - Hey, if you want me to open up to a therapist post-Borden, I'm damn well gonna do my homework on them.
I wanted to know why she left Zero Division.
Look, that file doesn't tell the whole story.
It says that she was there when Sandstorm infiltrated your group.
And that she voiced concerns about the team member that later turned out to be compromised.
But no one listened to her.
I didn't listen.
Because you were too close to the mole? How did you get over it? That feeling of being betrayed.
I I didn't.
And and it cost me dearly.
But, look, Patterson, you still have a chance.
Talk to Dr.
Sun.
Put Borden behind you.
(keys jingling) Nikki? You think Patterson will be pleased or pissed when she finds out Rich cracked a tattoo? Pissed.
Definitely pissed.
Yeah.
How'd it go today? Roman, did he remember anything? No.
It was worth a shot.
We'll find her.
Shepherd.
Yeah.
Wasn't so bad, out in the field today, with Rich.
Maybe he is finding his soul.
Well, plus, you got to shoot him.
I wish you could have seen that.
- (phone jingles) - Me, too.
(chuckling) I gotta go.
A hot date? No, I Well, I mean Yeah, but it's not, you know, it's not it's It's a date.
- (chuckling) - So I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
(door opens) Tell me you have something on Truman Protocol.
It seems to be a series of meetings that took place in the '40s in the buildup to the dropping of the A-bomb on Hiroshima.
So what has that got to do with Sandstorm now? I don't know.
You know, I've been in the business of secrets for my entire life, and I've never encountered anything this buried.
You're telling me that every Truman Protocol file has been redacted? No I'm telling you that there are no files.
That whatever the Truman protocol was, somebody has worked very hard to have it completely erased.
The F.
B.
I.
was all over me today.
They were just after Munson and his crew.
Relax.
He's taken care of.
Some advance notice would be nice.
(chuckling) Shepherd's not big on notice.
You sure the F.
B.
I.
knows nothing about our arrangement? Well, not unless you said something.
I'd die before I told anyone.
Yes or, failing that, afterwards.
Smile, Mr.
Riley.
We couldn't do Phase Two without you.
