Yesterday morning,

a bio-tech company executive
met a gruesome death.

Yeah. I'm not playing this game.

I'm giving you a case.

You're giving me a lead for you

so that you can keep on doing
whatever it is you're doing.

I'm picking a jury of my peers.

Wouldn't that be a colorful lot.

You gave us The Pharmacist

so that Dembe could get
five minutes alone with him.

You asked for a psych eval
so you'd be sent

to a mental-health facility

where someone you needed to see
was a patient.

If you're accusing me
of using the Task Force

to assist me in avoiding
the hangman's noose,

- guilty as charged.
- I want to help you,

but I can't if you don't tell me
what it is you're doing.

I'm fighting for my life.

And you are helping more than you know.

Why can't you just be honest with me?

You remind me so much of your mother.

I don't remember if I've ever
told you that before, have I?

There are a lot of things
you haven't told me.

I'm here because someone
betrayed me, someone close.

Under the circumstances,

it's hard to know who to trust.

Okay. Tell me about the case.

What do you know about
entomological warfare?

For over 1,000 years,

human beings have been
weaponizing insects.

In the 12th century,
wasps nests were catapulted

into enemy towns.

During the Cold War,

the Pentagon developed plans

to produce 100 million
yellow fever-infected mosquitoes

per month.

And the most notorious
Japanese war criminal

in World War II was General Shiro,

who bred bubonic plague-carrying insects

that killed tens of thousands of Chinese.

Did Reddington give you a case
or a history lesson?

A bit of both.

A year ago, a patent attorney

was found suffocated in his office.

Why? An infestation of deadly beetles

had eaten the lining of his lungs.

- Ew.
- And six months ago,

it was a chemical manufacturer's turn,

and yesterday, the head
of a bio-tech company.

Eaten from the inside by killer beetles.

Apparently, and according to Reddington,

they were put there
by a modern-day General Shiro.

Am I right in assuming
this case has something

to do with his defense?

Yes, but he wouldn't tell me why.

Our immunity deal with
Reddington has been invalidated.

He stands accused of treason.

Is this your periodic reminder
that by working with him,

we may be viewed as aiding and abetting?

It's a possibility,
especially if we pursue cases

in which his agenda is,
to be polite, obscure.

We're all in,
if that's what you're asking.

Samar, ARAM, look into
what connects the victims.

The man who died yesterday...

Bob Lockemy,
founder of Lockemy Technology.

Go to the M.E., see what he can tell you

about the weaponized insects
that killed him.

SIMA: Your Honor,
we agree with Mr. Reddington.

Jury questionnaires
can be sent to potential jurors

prior to jury selection,

but he wants to ask 382 questions,

most of which require essay answers.

It would take jurors days to complete.

RED: I'm sorry if you find the process

of selecting a fair jury
to be inconvenient, Mr. SIMA,

but you are trying to kill me
for a crime I didn't commit.

The problem is not inconvenience.

It's relevance. Example... Question 133.

I quote, "Compare and contrast
the role of memory

in the works of Proust
and Dickens, with examples."

How can I sensibly judge one's character

if I don't know their views
on great literature?

This is absurd.

In case you haven't read
a newspaper recently,

Mr. SIMA, all of our lives
are playing out

in the theater of the absurd these days.

Your Honor, I believe the prosecution

wants to intentionally dumb down
the jury questionnaire

because he wants to attract dumb jurors

because Mr. SIMA wants
a jury of unsophisticated,

unthinking sheep who will
blindly convict me of treason

out of some misguided notion

that it's the patriotic thing to do.

I, on the other hand, want astute jurors,

people who can understand

the somewhat complicated
evidence I plan to present,

capable of evaluating
not only my motives,

but also those of the government.

The literature question is stricken.

Excellent.

That sort of bias
will only aid in my appeal

should the government win
in this round of play.

We also object to question 134,

"Who is your favorite
classical composer?"

Okay, I will not be judged
by anyone who likes Schumann.

I refuse to be sent to my death
by Philistines.

I love Schumann.

"Fantasie in C Major" was played

at my mother's funeral this past summer.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Mr. Reddington, 40 questions
should be sufficient.

No essays, keep it simple,
and don't waste my time.

RESSLER: Dr. Maguire,
thanks for meeting with us.

So, what do you have?

It appears that
your victim... suffocated.

On insects?

Best I could tell,
some kind of water beetle.

Apparently, they're scavengers
and fierce predators,

but what I don't understand

is how the larva were able to survive

in his digestive enzymes
and stomach acids.

I'm sorry. I thought
you said he suffocated.

That is the official cause of death,

but I found larval remnants

in his stomach wall and digestive tract,

which suggests that he
may have ingested them.

These creatures were
literally feeding on him,

eating from the inside out.

My guess is that they migrated

into his bronchial tubes and lungs,

and the incision in the neck,

well, that simply provided
an escape hatch.

Just a guess.
I'm not an expert in insects.

You probably should
talk to an entomologist.

Know anyone you can recommend?

Not personally, but I do know
that Dr. Jonathan Nikkila,

he worked at the same company
as your victim.

If there's anyone who can
help you find the person

who did this, well, I'm sure he can.

"The government wouldn't spend
the time charging someone

"Innocent" is misspelled, by the way,

♪

You are looking at
a genetically modified version

of a predacious diving beetle
known as the Dytiscidae.

- Predacious?
- Predatory.

There are over 4,000 types
of carnivorous beetles.

But none that prey on humans?

Not naturally, no,

but nothing about what
happened to Bob was natural.

The gestation period of the
Dytiscidae is at least a week,

and there's no reason
the larvae should've survived

inside his body for that long
after the eggs had hatched.

But that's what the medical
examiner said happened.

I can't explain it.

All I know is that someone
made alterations.

Those are its jaws.

By my math, they are
four times normal size.

Talk about weaponized.

But why go to the trouble
to make a super bug?

I mean, there are easier ways
to kill people.

Well, not if you want to be ironic.

He sent a bug to kill a bug killer.

Lockemy Technologies made pesticides.

Powerful ones. Like Hexapene,

which I developed when I worked there.

It was designed for use
after natural disasters

like hurricanes when
the standing waters left behind

could breed potentially
disease-infected insects.

Some people thought it was too powerful,

so it was not approved
for commercial use,

but I still got death threats.

For killing diseased bugs?

You sound very rational,

but in the environmental world,

that type of thinking is in short supply.

So you think someone
from the environmental community

targeted Lockemy?

I was a lowly technician.

Bob was the CEO.

If I got death threats,
I'm sure he did, too.

We've been led to believe
that our killer fashions himself

as a latter-day General Shiro.

Does that mean anything to you?

General Shiro was a war criminal,

but his knowledge of how
to weaponize the insect world

was so great that instead
of executing him,

the Allies hired him to teach us
how to wage bio-war.

If the man you are looking for
fashions himself after Shiro,

it means to get his point across,

he doesn't care how many people he kills.

Hexapene is what connects
the three victims.

Lockemy ran the company
that developed it,

Steiner was the attorney
he hired to patent it,

and Helfrich was the chemist he used

to manufacture the pesticide.

Nikkila told us Hexapene wasn't
approved for commercial use.

Not yet, but according
to a recent SEC filing,

Lockemy was lobbying Congress
and the FDA for approval.

And now someone's killed
everyone involved

in making that happen.

I got something.
This is Lockemy's calendar.

Business meetings, speeches,
lunches he'd scheduled,

including one he had a week ago
with Dick Kendel.

Wait. The clean air guy?

The clean air guy, the clean water guy.

In the environmental community,
he is the guy,

and his current crusade...
leading the fight

to ban pesticides like Hexapene.

Kendel is a lobbyist.

Maybe he had lunch with Lockemy

so he could lobby him to change his mind.

Maybe, but he did have lunch
with him a week ago.

So?

So Dr. Nikkila told us
the gestation period

for these bugs is a week.

Which means a week ago,

our killer found a way to get Lockemy

to eat or drink their way
into his system.

What better way to do that than
at a power lunch on K Street?

COOPER: Find Kendel, bring him in.

Looks like we found
our latter-day General Shiro.

Doesn't matter. It's stupid.

Reddington. I mean, let him rot.

we could clean him out, vanish.
