[footfalls,papers flipping]

Oh! There you are.

Sorry, I was just... straightening up.

Oh, well, it's alosing battle with me.

Well, I will not be deterred.

You look nice today.

Thank you.

Not that you don't look nice every day.

You do, as a rule.

I heard you were good at pattern recognition.

Uh, oh, Will, um, Kale is requesting you

to join him for dinner tonight at his apartment.

What?

Kale is requesting you for dinner. 7:30.

Dinner?

Is this a social visit?

I'm not sure.

I left, uh,

a memo in your inbox.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

The slightestdeferenceto my seniority would be nice.

They didn't hire me to kiss your ass, Grant.

Miles, are youhearing this?

It was only a matter of time.

Have you seen these surveillancephotos of George's house yet?

I can't figure out what that is.

Lap pool.

Then what's that?

Fountain.

We got NSA's cooperation on the Boeck wedding.

Well, that's an expensivepiece of guesswork.

WILL:There's gonna bea live feed tonight

from an onsite utility truck,

and they're tapping into the hotel security system.

I'll stay.

You know, Marina's got a thing.

Th-The kids have a sleepover.

Okay. Well, I'm leaving.

Me, too.

Am I supposed to be the eager new employee

and offer to stay, too?

No. Miles is crazy.

I'm thorough.

[keyless entry remote alarm chirps]

[doorbell rings]

Hello?

Hello. Are...are you Alice Bradley?

Yes.

My name isKatherine Rhumor.

I'm so sorryto bother you like this.

How can I help you?

I was wonderingif I could talk

to you aboutyour husband.

I'm not married.

I'm sorry.

About your late husband Gerald Bradley?

You knew Gerald?

No, I-I didn't.

I, uh...

This is difficult.

I... I apologize.

[sighs]

My husband, Tom Rhumor, recently took his own life,

and, uh, in-in going through

his things,I discovered this article

about your husband's death.

[paper rustling]

Does that name mean anything to you?

Tom Rhumor?

I'm... I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Oh... Okay, I...

Thank you for your time,

and I'm sorry to have bothered you.

If you want to come home, if you get scared,

just talk to your daddy,

and he'll bring you back right away, okay?

I won't get scared.

Okay. Have fun.

[sighs]

Well?

All right. Mm-hmm.

If I cannot get ahold of you,

if she's not back here, if she's a minute late

to school tomorrow, I'm calling the cops.

Jeez!Craig.

Okay. Everything's gonna be fine.

All right, we'll see you later.

[electropop playing]

Will, hi. Walter.

Hi, Walter.

Come on in.

Tell me you drink.

I do, yes.

Thank God.[chuckles]

Uh, Kale's in the shower.

He'll be outin a minute.

It's a, uh, it's a nice place.

Isn't it?

This is, uh,Kale's inner self.

He bought this place20 years ago

when the neighborhood was...

But, obviously, he's puta ton of work into it.

It's amazing.

What can I get for you--a beer, wine?

A beer would be great. Thank you.

So... you guyswork together.

Yes.

In total secrecy.

[chuckles]

Hmm.

Well, you're a manof few words.

Oh, you'll have to forgive me.

It's been a long day.

Oh. You know,I hardly get to

meet anyoneKale works with.

Oh?

I thinkhe's ashamed of me.

Ah, I'm certain it's us he's ashamed of.

We're not a very presentable bunch.

[hushed]:What's he likein the office?

Is he the scary boss?

Yes, that's right.

He's the man we all fear.[chuckles]

KALE: What the hell are we listening to?

Hot Chip. It's good.

Turn it off, please.

How are you, Will?

I'm fine.

Kale doesn't realize

that lots of great music came out after1980.

I feel like I'm listeningto a pinball machine.

Now, Will,let me ask you a question:

Have you ever had a white bean salad?

A slime mold is really thousands

of independent single-cell units.

But you put them under favorable condition,

and they come together as a much larger organism

working towards a common purpose.

There is no boss, yet they work in concert.

Now, you can't eliminate the units.

You can only make the conditions less favorable

for themto form a network.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

I have some work to do.

Uh, leave the dishes; I'll get them later.

It was nice meeting you, Will.

Walter.

And what does this have to do with al-Qaeda?

Our enemies, they used to be hierarchical.

You could identify a controller and neutralize it.

Now it's-it's-it's a web.

A self-organized network, a collection of hubs

that form a much larger whole

that wasn't predetermined

and remains ungoverned, like slime mold.

God, I miss the Cold War.

Donald Bloom.

Your friend.

My friend.

What about him?

This is an NYPD report.

He was in an automobile accident last night.

He and a fellow passenger,Edward Roy,

were treated for minor injuriesat Roosevelt Hospital.

Roy is the person of interest for you, not Bloom.

More specifically,who is Roy working for?

You're not saying anything, Will.

I don't know what to say.

What are yousaying?

I'd like to be of assistance.

You're...

...drawing undue attention to yourself at API.

So, no more Hal tags.

No more trace requests.

And do not workon your project from home.

You want to be off the radar.

You saying my home is bugged?

How do you know that?

How I know is ainconsequential.

That I know is...rather significant.

Keep the bugs in place.

Well, how do you know it's safe to talk here?

Oh, I sweep this place twice a week.

Sometimes more if I'm bored.

I'm not going to participate in this directly, Will--

I'm too high-profile--

but I can be helpful.

Where I'm able, I'll point youin the right direction.

I thought you didn't want me looking into Bloom at all.

I'm offering you my help,

thereby increasing your chancesfor success dramatically.

Be happy with that.

Thank you for dinner.

Will...

off the radar.

Uh, lots of people. Lots of people.

What are you doing? Is it urgent?

Not really.

Great.

Come with me.

What? Where are we going?

I need youto translate something.

And we think this guy might be tied up

in terrorist fronts as well.

JULIA: And he's getting married?

His son's getting marriedto a Pakistani woman.

And you thought they were going to be speaking German?

Yeah, well, he'sa German national,

so yes, I thoughtpredominantly the guestswould be speaking German.

You were way off.Yeah.

Uh, you know, they keep our teams segregated for a reason.

Whoa, do you wantto destroy our government?

No, of course not.

I don't know-- doyou want to act inAmerica's best interests?

Yes.Then let's work together

and get the job done, right?

This is supposed to be the one place in the U.S. security apparatus

where information is shared.

MAGGIE: Will?

Who is this?

It's Maggie.

Maggie. Maggie, Jesus, is something wrong?

No, everything's fine.

Is this, uh, like an emergency, or...?

No, no emergency.

I was... just calling.

Um, about what?

I don't know.

I, um...

I, uh... Maggie, I can't really talk right now.

I'm in the middle of something.

No, I was just, um...

Sophie is at a friend's

for the night, so I was just wondering

if maybe you wanted to get a drink or something.

No, I-I can't.

I can't. I'm sorry.

I-I just-- I got to go.

[phone beeps off]I...

[sighs]

[subway train passing, indistinct chatter]

[indistinct conversations]

This isn't the actual marriage ceremony.

That's the nikah,

which took place yesterday.

Just family.

This is, basically, the reception;

the Walima.

Just crazy-ass party.

Rich bastard flew all his friends in

from all over the world, most of them on private jets.

A bit jealous, are we?

What are you talking about?Sorry.

[phone rings]Nothing.

You know, we incentivize being a ruthless son of a bitch

and then wonder why the world's in tatters.

This is Miles.

Mom, I'm busy.

What?

There's nothing wrong with your gall bladder.

[knocking]Coming!

Hey. Brought Scrabble.

Great.

Come in.

Forgive the mess.

I hate unpacking.

Yeah, me, too.

Where's Sophie?

Sophie is at a friend's tonight.

Just you and me.

I missed you at class on Tuesday.

Yeah.

I... got stuck at work.

Where do you work exactly?

You never told me.

UNICEF. Yeah, it's frustrating.

If I were a translator, I'd, um...

always make class;

I'd have regular hours.

But I need the class to become a translator,

blah-blah-blah.You know how it is.

Yeah.

So how was class?

Did I miss anything?

No, no, nothing really.

Mr. Ganesh was, you know, interesting.

Actually, he, uh, told us

about this ancient custom in India called "suttee."

It's where the wife of a deceased man

is tied to a stake

and then burned alive at his funeral.

And it was abolished in 1829, thank heavens.

Should I open the wine?

Sure.

[typing]

Hey! Hey, hey! That's my bag!

It fell on the floor!

Well, leave it on the damn floor.

[kids laughing]

[subway train passing]

With everything you know about Pakistan,

I'm surprised you don't know Urdu.

It's on the list.

Oh? What else is on the list?

Uh, well, a lot of things.

Do I have a list?

Why, yes, Miles, I do.

In no particular order:

NASCAR.I don't understand it,

but I'd like to. Gardening.

What, what are they saying?

I'll tell you what they're saying when it matters.

Well, how do you know when it matters?

This is myassignment.

"The bride looks beautiful.

"They grow up so fast.

You must be so proud."

It's wedding talk.Calm down.

Just, just tell me everything

[sighs]

Well, who is that?That woman

that he's talking to?!

"Tanaz"?

They're closer.

Talking about their relationship,

their friendship.

They're being very cryptic.

How?

Like, whatever they're

nottalking about is very interesting.

Ro-Romantic?

Business.

She's thanking him for his generosity.

Talking about the foundation.

Does that mean anything to you?

Uh, not off the topof my head.

"I'd like to propose a toast."

[exhales]

Bha t... ek...

adbhut desh hai.

Nicely done! Nicely done![laughs,clears throat]

What time is it? Kya sameh hua he?No.

Oh, you mean, what time is it?

Yeah. Should I go?

No, no. I was, um,

I was just thinkingabout Sophie.

Sophie's fine.

[sighs]

Do you want some more?

Yes, please.

[sighs]

Oh, didn't see you there.

[kissing sounds]

MAGGIE: Mmm...

[street traffic bustling in distance]

[siren wails briefly]

[gun cocks]

Hey!

Turn around!

You were following me.

Who do you work for?

They don't wantto tell me.

And I don't wantto know.

Do you have any idea what I do for a living?

I have access to every government database

that exists.

You give me the tail number off a prop plane,

that just landed in Belarus,

in a couple hours, I'll tell youwho was on board,

where they are now

and everything that they've eaten in the past week.

And now I have your picture.

Good luck breaking that to your boss.

TV ANNOUNCER: To get the Ronco Showtime

40-piece stainless flatware set absolutely free...

He is the guru of the gastronomic...

the raconteur of ribs...

the sultan of "set it and forget it..."

he is America's inventor.

His inventions have made our lives so much easier

and so much more fun.

He's with us today. A big round of applause

for American's inventor, Ron Popeil.

Nice to see you.

POPEIL: Good to see you.

Ron, you look fabulous!

You look, you've lost, what, 12, 12-13 pound?

POPEIL: 15 pounds.

15 pounds?

15 pounds on a high-protein, low-carb diet

like almost a hundred of our folks out here.

I lose 15 pounds, and you know, folks, what I can't believe is

how easy this diet is.

And I've been using my Showtime rotisserie,

and I enjoy the diet.

You know, everybody has problems with diets today.

Yes.They get bored with them,

and most diets, people don't stay on.

People buy this machine because it's easy to clean:

Ten-pound turkey, chicken, fish or meat.

Steve, let's show the folks some of the...

[both panting]

[panting continues]

That was nice.

I didn't even realize you were interested in me.

[sighs]

You're quiet.

I like that.

[knocking]

Will.

I'm sorry. Did I, did I wake Sophie?

No. Uh, she's at a friend'sfor the night.

What are you doing here?

It's... it's hard to explain.

It's so late.

Maggie... can I come in?

Uh, it's...

a little late, Will.

Oh, no, no, no, this isn't anything...

I just... I was just hoping I could crash

on your couch for a few hours.

Are you all right?

I just don't want to be by myself right now.

JOHN:Is everything okay?

It's fine.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm gonna go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Everything okay?

You should go.

You sure?

You should go.

Okay.

Now.

Okay.

Oh...

Oh, shit.I know him.

You know him?

Yeah, I recognize him.That's Ali Nikahd.

He's an Iranian intelligence office.

Who's the white guy?

No idea.

Can you make outanything he's saying?

They're speaking too low.

Oh, come on, damn it.

Thank you for doing this.

Sure. I'm happy for the distraction.

Just for fun, I was researching

the city's sewage treatment facilities,

trying to determine how vulnerable the computer systems are.

Unsettling results.

Just for fun?

Oh, George is about to speak.

"Thank you for coming,

"blah, blah, blah.

"When you have children, you want to provide them with everything.

"The smaller," um, not important things--

"the... material items are under your control,

"but the greatest gifts life has to offer

"are beyond your influence.

"Among them... finding true love.

"My wife and I found one anotherwhen we were very you.

"We were lucky.

"I love my wife.

"I know that what I can accomplish alone

"does not compare to what I can do with her by my side.

"Happiness, to love and be loved--

"these are the pursuits of life.

"They cannot be achieved in solitude

"and that is by design.

"Life was not meant to be lived alone.

"I'd like us all to raise our glasses now.

To my son and his beautiful bride Arya"

You married?

Huh?

Are you married?

Uh, yes.

Yes, I am.

Uh, Triforce?

I like Zelda.

[both chuckle]

I should probably get out of here.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I should, uh...

I should get back up to...[clears throat] ...um...

Thanks again for,for doing this.

I had fun.

Well, I'll see you around.Yeah.

[sighs]

Uh, hey. Hey.

Sorry about last night.

It's fine.

I mean, you know, how I wason the phone with you.

Yes, I understand.

No, it's fine.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

Ingram around?Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

[sighs]

[knocking]

Yeah.

I looked into Edward Roy.

You were saying?

Edward Roy.

He's ex-CIA.

Retired ten years ago.

Formed his own security firm, Garson.

Now, three years ago, Garson was bought by another company-- Atlas MacDowell.

Roy still runs Garson, but under Altas.

So Atlas is who he's working for.

What do you imagine Atlas is up to?

I don't know.

Well, perhaps you'd best find out.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you helping me?

I support and defend

the Constitution of the United States of America

against all enemies foreign and domestic.

It's not just your apartment.

They're monitoring you here.

Be very careful.

Gerald served on the board of Atlas MacDowell, correct?

Um, that sounds familiar.

After Gerald's death, my husband Tom filled his se.

I'm assuming that's why he was interested in Gerald.

God, that's strange.

That they both...

Yeah.

Do you know anything at all about Atlas MacDowell?

I didn't understandwhy Gerald did it,

and I tried to figureit out afterward,

which is what you are doing,

I imagine.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

All roads lead back

to the same simple, sad fact.

You gave him years, and he walked away.

He was a selfish coward,

and you shouldn't waste

another minuteof your life on him.

Hmm, I'm sorry.

Um... you want a drink?

[sighs]: Uh...

No, thanks, I'm fine.

I pulled this box out of the closet yesterday

after you left.

All these little things I found after Gerald's death

that I...

imagined hadsome deeper meaning.

Matchbooks.

Ticket stubs.

Sometimes a key chainis just a key chain.

What...

what's this?

I found thaton Gerald's desk

the day he died

and put it in that frameto preserve it.

I kept it on the shelf

for a while, but it was too morbid.

Are you all right?

Uh, sorry.

I have to go.

Thanks.

It was so nice of you to do this.
