All language subtitles for Episode 14 - Fundamentals Of Naked Portraiture

- Previously on Limitless...
- I work for the FBI.

You were placed in the FBI.

There is no one you
call family or friends

who I can't touch.

You belong to Mr. Morra now, which means

you belong to me.

I've been thinking about Senator Morra.

The shooting. I was
watching footage of Morra.

Almost like he saw it coming
from over 3,300 yards.

Do you think he's on NZT?

The coat Senator Morra wore that day,

pretty sure it would
test positive for NZT

if someone thinks to test it.

If Senator Morra waits

just a little bit between doses,

we could use that clean blood,

put it on a new, identical coat.

I could swap it out with the real one,

and they can test it
for NZT all they want.

It's Rebecca Harris, isn't
it, asking the questions?

So,

what'd they tell you

about the job?

They told me there was a
lot they couldn't tell me.

It's bodyguard detail.

You need backup.

It's been a lot for two people.

Plus, I've been in and out of rehab.

I took a bullet.

That doesn't usually happen.

So, I'd be helping you two protect

some kind of super-genius?

That's really just sometimes.

The rest of the time, he's...

- Brian.
- Brian.

We give him the pill once a day.

It enhances his cognition.

For the 12 hours it lasts,

Brian is capable of incredible things.

He becomes the best agent in the
most elite division of the FBI.

Zoltar says,

"You're all the murderer!"

Actually, no, I programmed
it to say that.

But sit tight. You're all
under arrest and stuff.

Oh, I'll take that, Mr. Chief of Staff.

Just as I thought. This is the folder

they give the president on
his first day in office.

You know, you're supposed
to protect this country

from things like...

Seriously? Bigfoot?

The poison was in the
frog the whole time.

So,

you ready to meet the man?

This is Brian Finch.

Spike!

Nice to meet you.

- My name's.
- No,

that's Mike, that's Ike.

You're Spike.

Is there a problem? No.

All right, good. Pleased to meet you.

Is that a class ring?

Pride of the Boilermakers.

He's basically a good guy.

But there's only one person
around here he really trusts:

his handler.

And he's big on family, too.

Or he was big on family.

He hasn't been going out there as much.

His sister is really cute though.

I've been thinking about asking her out.

Come on.

Let's head down.

What's up, man?

Oh.

Oh!

Hit me!

We do our best to keep tabs

on Finch during off-hours, too.

Lately, he's been hanging out

at this other agency called CRAFT.

They make high-tech gadgets.

Future of warfare-type stuff.

I mean, that sounds amazing, guys.

I'm all in.

Off to see the Wizard?

Mr. Finch, I just want to tell you,

I will take a bullet for this job.

I will take a bullet for you.

Hey, is that a Goatwhore poster?

You know Goatwhore?

Sure.

Blood for the Master's my favorite.

But I like that album, too.

Favorite Skeletonwitch album.

Forever Abomination. Of course.

- Favorite horror movie.
- Rosemary's Baby.

Number one all-time Sabbath record.

It's not possible to answer
that question responsibly.

Spike, welcome aboard.

All right.

I wish you worked a little harder

on the delivery, Spike.

I'll never let you down again, sir.

That's okay. Don't be afraid of
what you can achieve. Take chances.

Yes, sir.

What's on the docket today, boys?

A bunch of data came in from
a satellite over Pakistan.

Naz wants you to absorb and analyze.

If you're gonna take jump shots,

make jump shots.

What? I'm on NZT. You don't
think I can hit that?

I'm trying to get your attention.

You know they have me counting sheep

in a field outside Islamabad?

That is literally what you do

to fall asleep. I...

I need something interesting to do.

I'm on hold with the NYPD.

And the blood I tested on
Senator Morra's jacket,

it came back negative for NZT.

- Of course.
- But there's this weird thing

with a button on his suit coat.

The second one up on the left
sleeve, there's a chip in it.

But the chip from the crime
scene photos is different

from the chip I saw in
the evidence locker.

It's a little different. I
mean, that one's bigger.

Looks like it got damaged or something.

Yeah. Or someone tampered with
evidence by switching the coats.

That doesn't seem likely.

Boyle and I are gonna follow the
chain of custody for the coat,

see if we find anything hinky.

NYPD had it first, then
they passed it to us.

They just hung up on me.

- New York's finest.
- Unbelievable.

Not good, buddy.

That is a trail that
leads right back to you.

And the evidence clerk who was working

the day she picked up Morra's coat,

he saw your face.

Finch.

Are you throwing away the
files I assigned you?

No.

I'm recycling them.

And memorizing them

so I can digitize everything later.
It's all...

Stop. I just got a call from
Quentin Walker at CRAFT.

He's requesting your help.

Eloise Carlisle is one of the
best minds we have at CRAFT.

Was. She was attacked last
night on the way to her car.

Strangled. NYPD believes

that they found her attacker's
DNA under her fingernails,

but it hasn't led them anywhere yet.

I know they usually
investigate homicides,

but I have an unusual lead.

Eloise was an innovator.

She made a pair of gloves
fashioned after a gecko,

lets you climb a glass
wall like it was nothing.

She cracked the vertical takeoff plane.

Invented the Vayu jet pack.

Somebody murdered the woman
who invented the jet pack?

Of all her work, Eloise was most
proud of Project Mind-Vault.

Are either of you familiar
with the singularity?

It's the idea that,

eventually, we'll be able to
upload a copy of our brains

to a computer. Call it virtual
consciousness, I guess.

But a lot of people think it's our
one real shot at immortality.

So you die but your mind
stays in a computer?

We're not there yet, but we're not as far

- as people may think.
- Mmm.

Whoa. Quentin, these are the gecko hands?

'Cause you know I'm gonna want a pair.

The current thinking is
that it takes two steps

to replicate the human consciousness.

Step one is you create a mind-file.

You scan the subject's brain,
you conduct hundreds of hours

of interviews. And from that,

you can create a digital
version of someone that is,

informationally, the same as they are.
We've gotten pretty good at that.

- What's step two?
- That mind-file interacts with software,

which needs to be sophisticated
enough to duplicate

the complexities of the human mind.

We're making progress.
Eloise made mind-files

for hundreds of people. The idea is that,

once the software catches up,
we'll be able to have access

to some of the greatest
minds in the world.

Forever.

So you're saying that you
have a bank of geniuses

behind this door?

What is that?

Eloise wasn't just the head
of Project Mind-Vault.

She was a subject.

She maintained her mind-file constantly.

It knows everything she knows.

Knew.

So, if you want to find out who killed

the real Eloise Carlisle,

why not interview the victim herself?

Hello.

My name is ELO.

How can I be

of assistance?

- sync and corrections by Caio -
- www.addic7ed.com -

You think she knows that the real Eloise,

you know...

Hi, ELO.

My name's Brian.

Hello. It is nice to meet you, Brian.

I'm not sure if you know
about this or not, but...

Eloise Carlisle,

she died last night.

I am Eloise.

No, but the woman you used to talk to,

the other Eloise,

she's gone.

I am Eloise.

I am here.

- Yes. But...
- Eloise and I are doing

important work together.

Sometimes we like to
talk about gardening.

Maybe we should take a
different approach,

stay away from the whole dead thing.

ELO,

you saw Eloise last night.

You were working together, right?

Was there anyone else here?

Eloise and I are working on...

important work

together.

This is like talking to my Aunt Stacey

after her second Diazepam.

I think we might be better
off just going through

Eloise's project files.

That's probably a good idea.

She was working on space missiles?

Uh, she was working on SMDS.

It's a space-based
missile defense system.

He knows that.

He just likes saying "space missiles."

Eloise knew we were behind

a bunch of countries on
space-based defense.

Not friendly countries either.

That's right. She was working
on bridging the gap.

Well, she was making a lot of progress.

Less so on the sentient robots.

I'm telling you, we were
just one breakthrough away.

Anyway,

I'm thinking someone from
one of the other countries

didn't like the progress
Eloise was making.

Decided to take out the
person who was bringing

the U.S. up to speed.

How would

they even know that?

Our security's impenetrable.

We use biometric identity confirmation,

conduct daily scans for
spyware on our computers.

Mm, you conduct

daily scans for spyware
you know how to look for.

You're trying to find
known code anomalies.

So you think that there's some kind

of invisible super-spyware
lurking on our systems?

It's only invisible till I
figure out what it looks like.

Once he gets like this, it's usually best

to just let him work
it out of his system.

He'll either make progress or...

...he'll eventually go to sleep.

Actually, I think I'm all
out of steam for today.

Need some coffee?

Ha. Yeah, that's not gonna cut it.

Project Spyware would
have to wait until my next dose

of NZT, and I had a little
personal business to attend to.

That for me?

Senator's coat. The real one. With NZT

in the blood.

Everything go smooth?

All good.

This isn't a chat, mate.

It's a debrief.

No one saw me.

I had to talk to one guy
in the Evidence Unit,

but I set it up so he got
trapped in the locker

while I made the switch.

I took care of the cameras
and the paper trail.

We're all good.

So as far as the FBI's concerned,

the matter's closed?

The NZT tests came back negative.

Then the matter's closed?

God! Yes! The matter is closed.

Ouch, dude!

It's your booster.

You earned it.

You're actually going in the
Natural History Museum?

There's a lecture on
Iroquois farming techniques.

I'd invite you, but it's sold out.

We've got wheatgrass,
kale and pear smoothie,

and coconut water. I wanted to give you

some healthy options. It's flu season.

This place will fall apart

if you get sick.

No, I'm not turning
into a serial hacker.

But those programming skills
I picked up a few weeks ago,

kind of handy when analyzing spyware.

And while you may enjoy seeing
the lengths my new bodyguard

is willing to go to, you know and I know

that watching someone
mash keys is boring.

So here's some Vines of the dog
Mishka saying "I love you."

I love you! I love you!
I love you!

After I got a
handle on spyware basics

I reverse-engineered what the
spyware should look like

and sent it off to Quentin.

Oh, man, Spike.

- Oh, sure.
- We'll continue.

All around, I was killing it.

Now that we had the
spyware, Rebecca and Boyle

had enough evidence to
take down the spy himself.

And I can only imagine how that went.

If we're not inside in 30
seconds, we'll lose him.

The door's booby-trapped.

If we don't cut the right wire,

we could lose our lives.

Yeah, well, we're out of time. Pick one.

No red wires. No green wires.

No wires of any kind.

We served him a warrant,
found his computer and then

took him in quietly. That's pretty much

how it happens every time.

Does it ever bother you guys that

your jobs are more interesting
in my head than real life?

His name is Bill Cumber.

This guy has been feeding China
classified information on

U.S. defense technology.

Yeah, but we don't think
he killed Eloise.

He was upstate visiting his sister.

You know, it is hard for me

to get used to the idea of
doing work in this room.

Get used to it... It's your
headquarters, too. Enjoy.

Cumber told us that Eloise wasn't
as clean as we thought she was.

Evidently, the spyware that
he planted in her computer

recorded keystrokes. She was

negotiating a big deal
the night that she died.

- What kind of deal?
- We couldn't find

the buyer's name, and I'm not even sure

that she knew the buyer's name.

But whatever she was selling, she only

- referred to it by number.
- Maybe some type of code?

No. We...

we saw these numbers yesterday.

Now... now, each mind-file has
its own little vault, right?

Uh... there.

B718-Q39502.

That's the first combination
Cumber gave us, right?

It belongs to a Peter Tao.
A top mathematician.

It's empty.

Here, try...

X134-M30556.

Grayson Dumont.

- An astrophysicist.
- Well, it's empty.

All right...

E877-F67845, A...

uh, A985-M28302,

Empty. P256-T21453,

empty.

Wait.

What?

That's me.

So Eloise was selling mind-files?

Room service. Coffee for you.

Okay.

Is Spike trying too hard?

Maybe. I'm not gonna tell him that.

- Excuse me.
- Thanks.

Yeah.

I needed to focus on who
murdered Eloise Carlisle

and why.

Did someone discover she
was selling mind-files?

Or was it simply a
transaction gone wrong?

Either way, six of the
world's most valuable minds

are missing. Five of whom

trusted Eloise enough to share
their secrets with her.

Question is were their
secrets worth killing for?

There was Peter Tao,
who works for the NSA.

Grayson Dumont, whose
classified discoveries

range from black holes
to his love for angora.

Catharine Lewis, who's operated
on more than one president

and totally seen them naked.

Winton Miller, who didn't
have any secrets to speak of,

but had affairs with people who did.

And Quentin, who's been texting me

Like he's lost his mind because, well,

he has.

Most people are terrified of
having their e-mail hacked,

but can you imagine having
your whole brain hacked?

Someone getting access
to your every thought,

your every secret?

That's pretty much my worst nightmare.

The files could've been stolen to access

any one of these minds. I mean...

Wait, but isn't it also
possible someone wanted

all six of them?

That someone

has the software sophisticated enough

that they could use them

as a hive of geniuses...

capable of God knows what?

That sounds vaguely apocalyptic.

This is cool.

I didn't realize that
riffing back and forth

was gonna be part of the deal.

Where do you even sell
something like that?

The Dark Web.

Obviously.

The Dark Web. That
always sounds so cheesy.

The Dark Web is anything but cheesy.

Yeah, but, like, the more you say it...

Okay. So, did anyone
recently sell the minds

of six geniuses on the Dark Web?

Uh, is this for that guy Quentin?

The guy with all the cool gadgets.
The jet pack and the

gecko hands and the...

James. Come on.

You're my tech guy. Nothing

and no one is going to change that.

You haven't played Arkham Horror

in a while.

I could come by this weekend.

Fine.

From what I can tell,

Eloise used a middleman.

Mm-hmm.

You're probably looking for
a man who calls himself

TheScrubJay.

That's a... a bird that hoards things.

Because he collects and sells rare stuff.

Okay, well, how will I
find this Scrub Jay?

You'd have to have something
he's interested in selling.

Mm.

Kale smoothies...

- Spike!
- Yes, sir?

How are you on errands?

Are you kidding? I kill it on errands.

I sent Spike shopping
while I analyzed TheScrubJay's

hawking habits. Bird pun not intended.

And while he does dabble in
tech, there is one thing

he can't resist... Rare paintings.

Specifically, rare stolen paintings.

Found myself breaking a lot of laws

since working for the FBI,
but here's a new one:

art forgery.

You know, Bob Ross always
made it look so easy.

Happy trees, happy clouds.

Bob didn't paint psychologically
disturbing naked people.

Well, Winton Miller did.

Since I read his mind-file,

I figured it'd be easy
to concoct a backstory

for this rare, previously unknown stolen

masterpiece and use it as bait

to lure TheScrubJay out.

It's a brilliant plan.

It just...

doesn't seem right.

You mean the...

the genitalia?

It's like the soul is missing.
Probably because Winton

used real nude models.

Like a muse.

Maybe if I had a muse.

I mean...

I guess I could always...

All right. You're really going there.

I want that man gone.

- What happened?
- I have seen things I can't unsee.

There's no way I am leaving you
with that naked-ass suck-up.

Wait, what?

You-You're leaving?

I thought we were just looking
for a third guy for backup.

Naz said there was a position
opening up at the CJC

and it's mine if I want it.

But I have to have a replacement
lined up, so that...

W-What did you want me to do...

Turn down the promotion?

Look, we're gonna take care of Spike.

I took a bullet in the line of duty

and you're still getting out first?

Hey, guys.

Hmm.

These are.. graphic.

Oh, yeah.

So what does nude portraiture

have to do with hive consciousness?

Well, evidently they both

bring in mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.

So I had James Tech put the word out

that I have a stolen Winton Miller

and I just got an e-mail from the guy
who said he could sell it for me.

You're in touch ScrubJay?

Or someone claiming to be him.

Supposed to meet him tonight.

How about you?

How's the whole chain
of custody thing going?

Oh. Um...

We were able to follow Morra's coat

all the way from the crime scene

to the evidence control unit.

So no one tampered with it.

Well, I told him that we
couldn't rule out what happened

after it was checked into evidence.
And then I suggested

that we talk to the clerk
who checked it in.

Huh. Well, do you want me

to try and get someone
over there on the phone?

No, we already went down there.

This is the security footage
from when Boyle and I

checked out the coat.
There's this suspicious

60-second window where
the camera cuts out.

And I talked to the
clerk and he said that

the system had been being buggy,

and that's the reason
that he got locked out.

What'd the clerk say today?

Well, he wasn't on shift.

But it can't be coincidence, right?

I mean, even if someone

did knock out the security camera,

that means they could've
been in the evidence room,

switching the coats

while Boyle and I were just moments away.

Or while we were there, even.

Spooky, right?

You're nervous, aren't you?

About the painting.

- Oh.
- You shouldn't be, it's...

...um, striking.

Thanks.

Certainly.

- Excuse me.
- Oh.

I rolled up the
naked painting of Spike

and put it in a poster tube.

Then I left it at the coat
check for safe keeping

while I met up with The Scrub Jay.

Rebecca and Boyle hung
back near the exits.

And he told me where to
meet and what color to wear

so I'd stand out. Or blend in.

I don't know, maybe TheScrubJay
was screwing with me,

but I played along. I had to.

He was our only lead.

I hear you like the Naked Pale Man.

I really hope that's how you
start all your negotiations.

I can't wait to see it.

I wanted to ask you about
another sale first.

I got your name through a friend of mine.

Eloise Carlisle.

I believe you helped her find
a buyer for six rare items?

I don't discuss past transactions.

If you'll excuse me,

- I'm a bit under the weather.
- How much did you know

about the items you sold?

He's not breathing. I
think it was poison.

I'll call an ambulance.

All right... All right, breathe.

Breathe, breathe.

Come on, come on, come on.

TheScrubJay is dead, but
at least we got his real name,

because that led to his records, and that led
to the recovery of some pretty strange items

he fenced on the black market.

The good news is the ScrubJay's
records also told us

who bought the mind-files from Eloise.

A shady think tank with ties

to the highest levels of government.

GERD.

Global Enterprise for
Research and Development.

They were around before the acronym

for the heartburn condition.

Sucks for them.

You know, I always imagined a think tank

would be more futuristic, since their job

is, you know, to think about the future.

It's people like this who decided

mutually assured destruction

as the best way to deter nuclear attacks.

Are we sure we want to know

what they might be use
those mind-files for?

Let's just tread carefully.

The president reads what these
guys write when deciding

whether or not we should go to
war, so let's not give them

a reason to go to war with the CJC.

Oh, I was born to tread carefully.

I actually considered getting a
tattoo right here on my arm.

I'm glad you thought better of it.

- Names and affiliation?
- Rebecca Harris,

FBI.

I don't have you on my list.

I didn't make an appointment.
We're conducting

an investigation and I
need unrestricted access.

Due to the highly
classified work we do here,

you'll need to go through the proper
channels for a request like that.

Well, I don't need classified material.
If I do, I'll request it officially.

Right now I just need a
list of your employees.

I'm sorry. That's not possible.

What are you guys planning in Venezuela?

Listen, I want to respect
that highly classified work

you do here, so why don't you

just take us to the guy in charge

and we can discuss this privately?

Born to tread carefully.

All right, what's going on?

You have got to see this.

Why are we FaceTiming Spike?

We're not. He can't see us. I
planted a camera in the file room.

You what?

My gut told me that something was off

with the guy, so I took it upon
myself to get the evidence.

And check this out.

You planted two cameras?

I needed another angle.

He's on Brian's computer!

He's reading his personal e-mails,

looking at his browser
history, online purchases.

This is how Spike has become
such a good kiss-ass.

He's cheating!

What's his agenda?

Hey. I'm John.

That's it, just... John?

I heard you guys have some
sort of crazy story about

stolen minds, is that it?

We know that GERD bought

the mind-files, John.

If you don't want to talk to us,

then we can just call
somebody about the adventures

that you're planning in South America.

Look, there's no need for us
to play a game of chicken.

We have what you're looking for.

So, what? You...

admit to stealing the mind-files?

We bought them on the black market

at the behest of some
very important people

in our government.

I have the letters sanctioning it. Look,

you-you should be happy
that we have them.

Imagine our enemies with a
cabal of our best minds

working around the clock,

figuring out ways to harm this country.

The letters that you have...

Did they authorize you to
murder Eloise Carlisle?

No, in this instance,

"conclusive force" was not in the brief.

We bought the files from

Ms. Carlisle's intermediary,

and hired a third party
to supply the hardware.

Frankly, you know, it's...

it's been a bit of a boondoggle.

The tech is no use to anybody

unless current technology
makes a leap forward

by an order of magnitude.

We'd like to see them.

Be my guest.

There you are.

There were six
mind-files stolen from CRAFT.

Yeah, you didn't buy Eloise's?

Miss Carlisle wasn't part of the package.

We were only sold the five of

the country's greatest minds,

just waiting for someone
to make them do something

other than babble at each other.

Quentin said the mind-files were
only as good as their software.

So if we want
answers about Eloise,

maybe I just have to play
around with her programming.

I make it sound easy, but
this'll take a minute.

The main thing question of
artificial intelligence is,

as Alan Turing put it,
"Can machines think?

Now, I'm not saying that I
answered that question,

but did I make progress?

I think so. I hope so.

Incredible, right?

She looks the same.

Yeah, but she's not.

Rebecca, meet E-L-O, two-point-oh.

I improved her software.

She had all this information
right at her fingertips,

and didn't have the ability to access it,

to understand her relationship

to the information.

So, she's more like

Eloise?

Yeah, well, I mean, more
than she was before, anyway.

What would you ask a murder
victim if you had the chance?

Eloise?

Do you know who murdered you?

To say who murdered me, I going
to need more information.

Is someone threatening you?

Yes.

Is someone making you afraid
for your physical safety?

Yes.

Who is the person who's scaring you?

Mauve...

is my favorite color.

Sometimes I dream about flowers.

Sometimes flowers

dream about me.

Thank you for the insight, Eloise.

Hey, that evidence clerk who was working

when the cameras went out
is on duty now. Let's go.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, but you
guys are gonna go right now?

We're making so much progress.

I once dreamed about a timpani,

but I don't think that
a timpani can dream.

- Well...
- Gerard.

Gerard?

Who is that? Is that who's scaring you?

Brian, you can
keep messing around

with this robot, or you can come with us.

If I can't keep them
from talking to that clerk,

there's also no way
this ends well for me.

That's the guy!

That's the guy!

No! Wait! I can explain.

I was working for Senator
Morra the whole time. Ow!

That's the guy!

Come on, mate. You can
stay with me from now on.

I can't let them leave without me.

All right.

Brian!

- You coming?
- Yeah.

This is it. I'm a dead man walking.
Dead man riding-in-the-backseat?

No, it doesn't carry the same weight.

But once we get to the
Evidence Control Unit,

that is exactly what I'll be.

My future's never been so clear.

And the only way to
derail this investigation

is with another investigation.

I need a breakthrough in Eloise's case

to save me from full-blown Hindenberg.

Problem is, I may have programmed Elo

to be clinically insane.
The only thing she said

that made any sense was
the name "Gerard."

It was a real Hail Mary,

but at least that name isn't that common.

20 minutes and 347 Gerards
later, I found him.

Hey, team?

Listen, I hate to derail us, but, uh...

- We'll eat later, Finch.
- The fact of the matter is,

I could always go for a good slice,

but this is about Eloise.

I think I know the guy that killed her.

I'm guessing you
have some questions.

Let's answer them.

Eloise and Gerard had an
on-again off-again affair,

and since they were
both employed by CRAFT,

they kept it secret.

Eloise tried to move on, but
Gerard became obsessed.

Didn't help that the guy
was mentally unstable.

- Come on.
- I said stop.

When he realized the love
of his life was gone forever,

he figured the next best
thing is her mind-file.

He stole it, along with five others,

and it made it look like it
was Eloise who sold them

to TheScrubJay.

When Gerard learned the
FBI was closing in,

he hastily covered his tracks.

In his kitchen, the FBI
found traces of poison

he used to kill TheScrubJay.

And in his basement?

An older prototype of ELO that
he stole to be his very own.

Not creepy at all.

Mr. Turmann, you could be

looking at two life sentences.

But since the U.S.
Attorney is more lenient

with suspects who confess...

I have nothing to confess.

I am on the Board of Advisors

at CRAFT, so, yes, there is a possibility

that my DNA would be
found on or near Eloise.

But all of your so-called evidence

seems to be purely circumstantial.

Would you really classify an Eloise doll

in your basement as circumstantial?

Look, to each his own.

I get it.

But I also get what it's
like to make a mistake,

and to get so

caught up in trying to cover it up that,

man, you can't even remember

how it started in the first place.

But for you,

this all started because
of your love for Eloise.

What would you say if I told you

that in the process of finding you, I
significantly upgraded Eloise's software?

What do you mean
by "significantly?"

So we struck a
deal with Gerard Turmann.

He'd confess to Eloise's murder

if we gave him five minutes

with the new and improved Eloise.

Anything I can
do to change that...

That is a special kind of crazy.

I feel like
it's the kind of thing

that could happen to anyone.

You're lonely, there's
an unrequited crush.

The next thing you know...

Do you want to get a drink?

Definitely.

There's nothing wrong with an
agent showing some initiative.

In Spike's case, there is.

All right, what have you got?

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, thanks, man. The shadows
were a little tricky.

Gentleman, please.

Keep the Finchesque theatrics
to a minimum, yeah?

Thank you.

Well, we wanted to find out why

Spike was so motivated to impress Finch.

So we decided to tail him.

And after a few dead ends,

we noticed every morning he was
going for coffee at Café Maceo,

which is 40 blocks in the
opposite direction of his home.

I mean, sure,

they have a pumpkin spice latte that will

make you see God...

But right next door is a
mailbox and packaging store.

And we asked the owner, and he
said Spike drops off an envelope

every day to the same address in D.C.

ADIC Johnson's home.

You think

Agent Spike is a, uh, mole
reporting to Johnson?

We figured Johnson wants to
avoid digital communication

after the fiasco with his phone hack.

The micro-penis incident.

I remember. Thank you very much. Please.

Could you send in Agent Spike?

By the way, as it turns
out, that position

with the CJC won't be available

as soon as I thought, but

I think we can transfer you to Organized
Crime to get you back out in the field.

Actually, I'd prefer

to stay on Finch detail until then.

Great.

Yeah.

You wanted to see me?

Mm.

Rad.

Oh, Spike, you got

to give my regards to ADIC Johnson.

When did you find out?

How didn't I find out, man?
It was pretty obvious.

The all-too perfect knowledge
of my favorite bands,

the over-the-top ass-kissing.

It all had the stamp of one man.

I thought about saying something.

But, you know, when you
got a good thing going.

Well, I trust you'll
destroy that painting?

The... Oh, yeah, man. Of course.

Oh, and Spike?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Where's Rebecca?

I think she said she was
going out with Quentin

after she stopped by the
Evidence Control Unit.

Wait. What?

Yeah, she said she wanted
to talk to the clerk

who was there when we
checked out the coat.

Said she couldn't relax until
she took care of that?

You good?

Yeah.

I've always been terrible
about facing the music,

so, I dealt with it in
the only way I know how.

By now, Rebecca's already
spoken to the evidence clerk,

and he's probably given her a description

matching yours truly.

I wonder if she'll give me a
chance to explain myself,

or if she'll at least keep my
family safe once I'm in jail.

In any case, I'm out of scenarios.

It's time to come clean.

He's dead, Brian.

The evidence control clerk.

What?

He had a peanut allergy.

He went to a Chinese restaurant,

where the chef knows about his allergy,

and makes him special dishes.

But today, somehow,

peanut oil ended up in his entrée.

He died in the ambulance.

Treating it like an accident.

Yeah.

What else could it be?

I think someone didn't
want us talking to him.

Do you think someone killed him?

Who, though?

The matter's closed.

Yes, I posed for the artist,

and, no, it's not to scale.
