Marie?

I know what you did.

You vibe-coded that UI chat feature, didn't you?

You got me.

Busted. I'm just messing with you.

It's really nice work.

Anyway, I'll catch you later.

Guram Daddiani.

We found your name on a list, Guram.

Special operators deployed by the U.S. in former Soviet Georgia.

We're looking for another man on that list.

Felix Vincent.

Let me jog your memory.

Operation Palomar, 1997.

The U.S. wants regime change in Tbilisi, Georgia.

So we recruit disaffected young men, and we train them to go into places we can't

go.

Plant listening devices, bombs.

But then political winds shift in America, and the program's canceled

overnight. We lost track of those assets. As far as we can tell, now

they're all dead.

Except you and Vincent.

George Heller.

Little taste of the home country.

Help yourself.

If I help you, I get what?

Respect and admiration of the CIA?

I want to be in Colorado. I want to see mountains.

Why don't we see how this goes?

Your story has wrong beginning.

Oh, yeah?

They find us, CIA.

But we were not men.

We were children.

They took us into the woods to train us.

Surveillance, weapons.

How to get in, how to get out.

How to kill.

Vincent, teacher's pet, we called him.

And why is that?

Our teacher, Robert Goodman.

Felix Vincent was his favorite.

Like a son he was to Goodman.

But then... But then what?

You turn us into weapons and throw us away.

He blamed Goodman for leaving us with nothing.

Maybe if you find him... Goodman.

He's dead.

Did Vincent get to him?

No.

You sound very sure.

Vincent killed two ex-DEA recently.

Yes?

And yet walks free.

Because he was taught well by a man he swore to kill.

Did he succeed?

Who can know?

But I would never bet against Felix Vincent.

My dad died of cancer.

That's a fact.

Listen, Bill, that guy in there would say anything, but he won't let it get to

you. No. How about how my dad, who coached my little league team, turned a

bunch of naive kids into murderers?

Well, yeah, that sucks.

Understatement of the year.

My dad created a monster who's still out there.

I'm going to catch him.

You want to catch him because he's the right thing to do, or because you want

to find him and ask him once and for all, was my dad a good person?

Of course.

Mmm.

Asian swamp eels.

They're wiping out your native species in Florida. Some of them may have

deserved it.

What's up, Jen?

It's been a while.

What do you know about uber got That's the fastest-growing American AI company

DoD contracts. There's that to the public soon They're developing a

frontier AI model called tintilla. So I've heard well MSS has Intel that we

were gross lawyers got quite Aggressive with China's top AI firms today out of

the blue one them not to touch any of their IP if it should come their way so

They think someone stole their model and wants to sell it to a Chinese

competitor.

You think Uber got us hacked?

I don't know.

I don't care.

It doesn't matter how it got out.

What matters is it's out.

If I were you, I'd figure out who's got it.

Fast.

According to my MSS asset, an enemy with access to Tentilla could create a lot of

trouble. No, not trouble.

More like a generational paradigm shift in global geopolitics. Great.

Have I told you recently how much I hate computers?

Tentilla is supposed to be next level. Three trillion parameters.

They didn't release it because the world isn't ready to exist with Dantilla in

it. Well, that's if you believe the company, which I'm not sure that we

should, but it can access any network system.

I mean, banks, power grid, communications, all of it. The Pentagon?

Sure. We can't afford to be on the wrong side of tech like that. Yeah, which is

why Uber God holds $2 billion in defense contracts.

And now someone may have stolen their most valuable invention.

Gina, Baxter, scour your online resources.

See if you can find any mention of an Uber God hack.

Colin, Phil, get with the CEO, Jared Fallon. See what he can tell you.

Okay.

So it wasn't a hack?

Our security system rebuffs hundreds of hacking attempts a day.

But is this a rumor from your vaunted intelligence network? Because there's

nothing for you to do here that I can't do myself. Okay, Mr. Fallon.

Jared.

Jared. If it wasn't a hack, it wasn't the Chinese, why'd you send your lawyers

after them?

You know, maybe we should leak the hack to the press.

See if Jared here is a bit more forthcoming with the Ubergot investors.

It was an inside job.

All right?

A pain-in-the-ass engineer named Marie Poquette. She stole a copy of the new

Frontier model and... Tentilla?

Took it right out the front door.

I'm sure she's loaded it to her personal computer by now.

Why do you think she did it?

Because it's worth a trillion dollars to the right buyer.

And yes, the Chinese and any number of our competitors here would love to get a

look at it, so do the math.

Well, for someone who's got a trillion dollars wandering around out there, you

don't seem overly worried.

Excuse me? I mean, annoyed, sure, but not worried.

Is that because you've got your own personal security team already out there

looking for her?

Yeah, that's not going to work for us.

We need you to call your team off.

CIA will use its vaunted intelligence network to help find this woman.

And you give us all the details you have so far on the theft. How does that sound

to you?

Or we can shut down your team.

Publicly, of course.

So Jared Fallon's cooperating?

Wouldn't call it that, but yeah.

Yeah, the thief is an engineer.

Marie Paquette.

She's not a master criminal, so she shouldn't be hard to find.

Uber got sent in over security footage and her employee file.

Hey, can you guys still hear me?

Guys, can you hear me? Something's happening.

Hello?

Guys? Yeah, it's not just there, Nikki.

It was citywide. The whole thing lasted about 60 seconds. Any casualties?

Car accidents, but nothing fatal.

We got lucky, then.

So what? It was all a hoax?

There was no bioweapon, no missile, but the hack got into municipal networks,

emergency broadcast channels, private companies, all at once, which is not

great. I talked to the lead engineer at Ubergot. He's looking into the various

system logs, but he could already tell they were using Tantilla. What did

Jared's guys send us about the woman who stole it? So that's Marie Poquette.

She is...

Employee 11 at Uber got spotless records, star on the rise until a few

months ago when she started making complaints at work about workflows.

Then yesterday she was seen on a security camera making a copy of

Tentilla.

Well, what's she doing with this puck thing here?

That's Tentilla etched into glass.

That works? It did yesterday.

She walked it through security inside her water bottle, out the front door,

and then we lose her here.

Is there anything suspicious in her financials?

Well, her savings account is really low, and she's got a lot of debt.

So she's broke. In possession of a trillion-dollar cyber weapon that just

ran a 60-second commercial for it. We cannot let this thing get loose.

You mean more loose.

Looser. Gina, Baxter, dark web auction chatter.

Anyone shopping a Frontier model?

Colin, Bill, Marie's Place.

She might be long gone by now, but anything you can find on a potential

buyer, go.

Okay.

Olivia, I really had no idea that you were coming for a visit.

How's D.C.? Oh, you know, busy as it ever was.

I decided to come into town to take a few meetings.

You know, funny timing, though.

I wasn't here but half an hour, and I heard that two of your boys were having

a meeting with Ghiram Dadiani.

That doesn't mean anything to you?

Nikki, why are two of your officers visiting with high-security prisoners

without your knowledge?

They're gathering intel. That's their job.

Well, I mean, yes, but isn't it also your job to know exactly what's going

on?

And especially when it comes to Felix Vincent.

I appreciated the heads up on him, by the way.

I'll talk to my guys.

No.

You'll get them to stop digging.

I appreciate the suggestion, but you're not in charge here.

Nikki, please don't forget that you have a lot at stake in this Vincent business

as well.

I suggest you act accordingly.

It's always good to see you.

Claire. As expected, she's not here.

Okay. Well, seeing as we've come all this way, we may as well have a look

around.

Well, she uses post-it notes.

Apparently she's out of Dijon mustard.

Password protected naturally.

I wouldn't peg this as the apartment of a cyber-terrorist.

I mean, apart from the computer, everything else is analog.

Antique furniture.

Green thumb.

Vinyl. Doesn't change the fact that she helped build a dangerous AI model then

disappeared with it.

She will be held accountable, if anything.

Easy. Stay back.

Are you a friend of Marie's?

Marie, are you in there?

She's not here.

Bill, do your thing.

She's going to grab my credentials.

Special Agent Bill Goodman went with the FBI.

And you are?

Cecile, Marie's sister.

Okay, Cecile, why don't we put the mace away and have a chat?

Is Marie okay?

I have been calling and texting ever since that crazy stuff happened this

morning and no response.

Is that why you're here? Did something happen to her? Is she okay?

We think your sister was involved in the cyber attack.

Wait, what?

That's insane. She would never... The tech she's been working on is worth a

lot of money to the right buyer.

Oh, okay, okay. You don't know Marie. You don't know anything about her. She

didn't get into AI for the money. She did it for me.

I was born with an autoimmune disease.

It's fatal and rare.

Practically no one's bothered researching it.

We took out loans, we paid for every experimental drug, nothing worked.

So my sister, because she's a genius, built an AI model to find a treatment,

and it worked.

She's the only reason I'm still here.

Okay, maybe.

All we know is that your sister stole an AI model that was used to terrorize New

York City, and now no one knows where she is, not even you.

Guess we're not the only ones looking for Marie. Four of them may be armed.

Cecile, we need to leave right now. Grab your bag. Let's go. Let's go.

We'll take the stairs. Come on.

Clear.

Who were those guys?

Let's find out later, shall we? From a distance.

Must be after Tintola. Yeah. Oh, my God. We have to find my sister.

Hopefully before they do.

Hold on.

Are they chasing us?

Looks that way. But we're not going to let them catch us, are we, Bill?

I saw you in my apartment.

Marie? You need to stop looking for me.

What the...

Marie, they just saved my life. I think they can help you. Where are you? I'm

okay, Cece. We're being followed.

Can you hack their car?

It isn't networked, but I can help you get away from them. I just need a little

more time.

We're out of time. They're gaining on us.

Okay, speed up. Not happening. All I got is red lights.

Not anymore.

That's a dead end alley. Turn right.

Hang on.

Okay, left, through the gate.

Very

impressive,

Marie, but now we need you to hand over the model.

I'm not a terrorist, okay?

I'm trying to wake people up.

What I did today, all that chaos...

It took me 15 minutes with Tantilla.

We're all just scrolling our way to Armageddon. Yeah, well, a judge is going

to decide if you're doing a public service or committing a crime. Hey, hey,

Marie.

Listen, we can protect you, okay? You and Cecile, but time is of the essence.

Marie, you still there?

Take Cece somewhere safe.

I'll meet you.

But it's on my terms.

Deal?

Yes.

Deal.

Nikki, where we at?

Cecile and her security detail just arrived at the NYPD safe house.

Okay, good.

You managed to track down the Hellcat?

We followed traffic cam footage.

To a dead end.

Stolen plates.

But the VIN traced back to SRV Beam Inc., which is a shell company for

Chinese intelligence.

My assets said Beijing would pay anything for the model.

Well, luckily for us, it's not for sale. The Times, CNN, and 60 Minutes all

confirmed what Marie told you. An anonymous whistleblower from Ubergot

made contact last week, promised a big story and follow-up.

So Marie isn't a thief per se, just a well-intentioned little felon? Yeah,

sure. Or she's an arsonist putting out a fire she helps set.

Yeah, either way, we still need to bring Marie Antantilla in safely.

So what did she ask for?

She wants to meet us at the old Pearson Bank in Brooklyn.

We come alone or she bolts, but I really don't think she understands how much

she's out of her depth here.

We'll convince her to see sense.

Good. Go.

Bill?

Bet I know what you're thinking.

Yeah, head on a swivel could be a trap.

You know what? Anything could be a trap, Bill.

Go on, then.

After you.

Marie certainly has a flair for the theatrical, doesn't she?

Open, Cecily.

Definitely not a trap, right?

Hi.

Marie.

I, uh, I love the choice of venue.

Most lockable doors I could find on short notice.

Impressive. Now open this one and hand over the model. Not yet.

I have one more request.

Immunity.

Well, we can certainly talk about that, Marie. Well, if you want, Tantilla, I

need some assurance that I'm not going to be prosecuted.

No, no, no. Listen to me, Marie.

The next men that come looking for you, they're going to have that tablet in

their hand before your body hits the floor. All right, jeez. Bill, enough.

We're in a go for today.

Please.

Marie?

Listen, we know you're scared. And we can take you to Cecile and we can end

all of this. But in order to do that, we need you and that cyber weapon of yours

to come with us right now.

I didn't set out to build a weapon.

I thought we were going to save the world.

And climate change, war, disease, with this tech that's like a million

times smarter and faster than we are. But we're losing control of it.

It's becoming so dangerous and no one's willing to slow down. Because what if

China beats us?

What if Russia or Iran...

The hell is that?

What is this?

You promised me.

Marie, those are not our people.

Call for backup.

Oh, wouldn't that be nice?

No service.

Okay, listen. Marie?

This message to the world of yours, it won't be worth a damn if these people

get hold of Tintilla. We have to move now.

Open these doors.

Marie, look. We can still get out of here.

But you need to start trusting the two of us right now if we're going to get

out of here alive, okay?

Open the door.

Out of time!

Get down!

Marie!

Kayla.

Marie.

Marie, they're going to blow this door. Please, let us in.

Okay, go, go, go, go, go.

Come with me. Go, go, go. Get down, get down, get down.

Marie, what else can that thing control?

The doors. Some security cams.

Oh, we're a fish in a barrel.

What about the lights? Can you do the lights?

Okay, great. On three, lights off, open those doors, Bill will do his thing.

One, two, three, go!

Bill?

Lights.

There'll be more. Let's go.

Okay, let's go.

You have an exit strategy, right?

Don't look at him.

Don't look at him. Where are we going? Okay.

Follow me.

Those men were trying to kill us, and he shot them.

They're dead. They're just, like, they're, like, dead.

Okay, Marie, take a seat. Sit down. Take some deep breaths, okay?

Cece, if they found me, I have to call her. I'll use the secure channel. We

have NYPD protecting her. You're sure?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to check in with her now.

Try to remember she's a scared young woman.

Cecile told us about her illness.

And how you found a cure with your software.

Yeah. That's incredible.

Yeah, I built an AI research model and it came up with a bespoke treatment.

That is what this tech can do when it's pointed at the right thing.

But Tantilla is different.

Yeah, how so?

It spawns new generations by teaching itself new tricks, including some that

we barely understand.

But you created it.

And now I can't control it.

Is she safe? Yeah, she's good. She's safe.

Bill.

The detail's not answering.

Dead radio?

Maybe. Nikki's headed over there now.

Great.

Clear. Weak pulse.

Lucille's gone.

Can I get an ambulance? We have an officer down.

Hello? Bring the model by 5 p.m. if you ever want to see her again.

Did you tip them off to us, Jen? Absolutely not.

Darwin Feng, MSS operative looking to move up the ranks fast.

He told Beijing he's bringing home a prize.

But a kidnapping?

In your backyard?

Means he went rogue.

Apparently he's decided Tintilla's worth the risk.

Okay, so where would this Feng stash enough book hostage?

You know, when your ex came after you and your son, Jen, I had him put away

for good.

And I've risked my life to share secrets ever since.

They are threatening to kill a teenage girl, Jack, please.

MSS own multiple properties in the city.

But there are three in Flushing that are used for various ops.

That's a start.

What are the addresses?

We're doing everything we can to track her down.

I'll give them the model.

Whatever they want. This is my fault. Out of the question. We're not giving

them Tantilla.

We can't.

Screw you.

I'm not letting them kill my sister.

Marie, our team will come up with a plan.

Okay? Just hang in there.

Hey.

It's not her you're angry at, is it?

If you build a monster, you're responsible for what it does.

Jeez, Bill.

I

brought

whiskey.

So we tell Feng we'll play ball.

We give him the model.

Meanwhile, a text gave me a laptop loaded with a dummy program.

Marie, you tell them you need to validate it before you... So, you want

me to trick them?

It's more stalling for time.

With respect, the second they look into the code, they're gonna know it's

garbage. No, it won't get that far.

While we're slow-rolling them, Colin and Bill will find and extract Cecile. Once

she's safe... The FBI swoops in and takes everyone into custody.

Hey, you can do this.

No.

No, no, no.

This is never gonna work. I can't bluff my way through something like this.

Marie, you're a senior engineer at one of the world's top tech firms. I mean,

come on, you're overqualified for this.

It has to be you, Marie. They know who you are.

Have a little faith.

And if not that, have a little whiskey.

Just getting a 41st in Maine.

All right, ignore the building on 39th. It's been condemned last month by the

city. They're already tearing it down.

We'll start with 41st.

Excuse me.

Wait. No, no, no, wait.

I got it. I got it.

41st is an escrow. It's got to be 112 Roosevelt.

Yeah, back this way. On our way.

This is it.

I'll take the first floor.

Gina, you take second. Bill, you take third.

Go, go, go.

All right, stay active on comms.

Excuse me.

You seen this girl?

Did you see this girl?

Hey, Baxter.

This building's got security cameras.

They must be for show. I'm not seeing any feeds.

No? Okay, cool.

Tough crowd, Baxter. Got anything?

I'm running resident background checks.

Almost done with the first floor.

Excuse me.

Let me ask you a question. Have you seen... FBI!

Stop!

False alarm.

I'm pleased you made it on time, Ms. Paquette.

But you hardly needed to bring a chaperone.

And you are?

Just a friend.

You have the motto.

Let us proceed wait for what for her sister we need to know that she's

safe

502.

Marie, they said they were going to kill me if you don't give them what they

want.

I understand your work saved your sister's life once.

Today you have a chance to save it again.

Right.

Yes.

Transfers require validation protocol.

It'll take some time.

She has some time.

For now.

Validating now.

We haven't seen her. You seen her?

Okay.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Gina, Bill, fourth floor.

Hey.

We got eyes.

Oh, well, that one looks like it works.

Yeah. Question is, which door?

Wait, guys. I got it.

Go, go, go.

Come on.

Go, go, go, go.

Let's go.

Clear the building.

Come on, clear the building.

Worked in it?

Yeah.

Keep a little faith, huh?

Enough.

Disconnect the computer. We will take it with us. You will get your sister back

once we have access to the model. The security measures... Our team can break

through them. The computer.

Now. We had a deal.

If you do that, the whole drive will self-destruct.

Your guy cold boots that package outside a shielded environment, the lockouts

will break the weights, and you go home with alphabet soup.

I'm not familiar with break the weights.

Oh, God.

That's right. You guys are still using Python over there, huh?

Look, if you could do what I do, you wouldn't be here trying to steal what I

made.

So just let my program do its thing, and we can all get what we want.

Cool?

Clear! Back room!

There were two of them.

Did you get them? Yeah.

You're safe.

You're okay. You're okay. We got you.

We got you.

We've got her.

She's all right.

Let's go! Let's go!

Those guys?

They're with us.

Put your hands in the air.

What's going on?

We got you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. I am so, so sorry. Are you all right?

What happens now? Can we go home?

No.

They're taking me in for theft and cyberterrorism.

That's not... Hey, hey, hey.

I know the risks.

If what I did got people to...

finally pay attention to how dangerous this tech is.

Scared them to doing something before it's too late.

It was worth it.

In the end, Tantilla never got loose.

Ubergot has their tech back. As for your case, I'll put in a good word.

It's not much, but it's not nothing.

I don't understand.

She's the hero.

Yeah, well, sometimes a hero has to suffer.

Spoke to FBI cyber division looks like uber gots gonna get some legislative

guardrails if Congress can get their act together

Who's that in with

Kovalchuk?

It's Olivia Markinson. She's up from DC You know what she's doing here?

I've got a feeling I do now.

You have been poking around into Felix Vincent and where he came from

And it pinged on her radar?

You have no idea.

One of my first postings, I worked under Olivia. She was tough and effective.

One day, the DDO pulls us into the skiff and gives us the broadest strokes on

Operation Palomar.

They made it clear that its very existence would cause huge problems if

it ever got out, especially Vincent.

Yeah, well, CIA-trained operative turns international assassin isn't exactly the

stuff for press releases.

We were told to sweep it up, and we have no trace.

Olivia took care of most of the assets, but finding Vincent was harder.

I tracked him to Havana, but he was already on a plane on his way to Miami.

Olivia saw to it that his Cessna went down somewhere over the Atlantic.

So let me guess.

Now it's proven he's alive, she'll do anything she can to keep it a secret.

Bill, I didn't know about your father's involvement.

Now you understand why I have to find him before Olivia does.

Before he disappears.

I'm with Bill.

Turns out he's my ride or die.

We need to move carefully.

I need to know everything.

If you...

Move a rock. I want to know what's underneath.

And I want to make damn sure you put it back.

Because if we want to win, we need to play together.

Understood.

Nikki, my favorite deputy chief.

Deputy Director Kowalczyk, no one told me that you were here.

Oh, I've had a long day of meetings.

Olivia, myself, and every stakeholder with an opinion, and we all arrived at

the same conclusion.

There has been a leadership vacuum at this station for far too long. So,

effective immediately, Olivia Markinson is chief of New York Station.

Every operation runs through her now Thank You deputy director I

look forward to taking the reins
