There are over six billion
people on planet Earth.

Ordinary folks
like you and me.

But if you look
around carefully,

you might find that some
of these ordinary folks

have extraordinary abilities.

I call them "Alphas."

Some Alphas, like the
ones I work with,

can do things
that would amaze you.

Others, the angry,
the lost, the afraid,

have abilities that,
frankly, can be terrifying.

Ah!

Hello.

I'd like to report
an accident.

Don't take no
for an answer

There's no telling
where we've been

Because people don't understand,
understand, understand

People don't understand

People like me

I can't believe you already
have your office done.

You know, it's easy to get
people to do things for me.

Yeah, it is.

Hey, do you think
I could take this office?

We could be neighbors.
Sure.

Oh, you don't want
to be neighbors.

Oh, I can find another office.
No, it's fine.

It's okay. It's
fine, it's just...

I mean Queens.
Seriously?

There's, like, a million vacant
offices in lower Manhattan.

I could walk to work.

Oh, man, I need to clean.

Watch your back, ladies.

You okay?

Gary, how's this?

No, there's a hum.
It's still humming.

Gary, how can
there be a hum?

I haven't even plugged
the damn thing in yet.

I hear fluorescent
light bulbs,

Bill's stomach
digesting his breakfast,

but no hum, Gary.
Okay, there you go.

No. Yes, there's
a hum in my head.

I don't know where
it's coming from.

The old offices were perfect.
There was no hum.

I'm with Gary. I mean, Brooklyn,
I can understand, maybe.

But Queens?
Uh, hello, people.

Someone tried to kill
Dr. Rosen in the old office.

You were trying to kill
Dr. Rosen, Bill.

Yeah, that was you.

I was mind controlled.
Okay?

Gary, this is
where I put it.

This is where it stays.
Okay, drink up.

We wouldn't even be here
if it wasn't for you.

You can't leave that right there.
Oh!

Your parents?
Yeah.

I thought you weren't gonna
take any calls at the office.

I know. I'm not.
Be strong, Rachel.

Yeah, I already told you.
Sunday night is fine.

Yeah. Sunday night
is fine, mother.

Yeah, dress myself.

Click, hang up.

Mmm.

Bill? Bill?

The humming is back.
It's annoying.

Little privacy, please.

Sorry I'm late. I...
I had to drop my kid off.

You're over here.

Your new home.

Not much of a view.

Oh, well, you show up late,
you get what you get.

I'm not... I'm not really sure
what to do with an office.

You could decorate.

You're an ex-jock.
Go for sports stuff.

Right. Seriously,
what do we do all day?

We just sit around
having therapy sessions?

Sometimes. Most of the time we
spend looking for other Alphas.

When we find them?

We identify them,
government tracks them,

and some go
to the compound.

Compound?

It's... That's not
its real name.

She just calls it that.

It's the Binghamton
Special Research Facility.

It's this place where they send
Alphas who misuse their abilities.

Uh, a danger
to self or others.

Dr. Rosen says that we don't
have to worry about that.

But you do.
But we don't.

Gary. Gary.
Hmm?

Excuse me.
Can I help you?

Is Dr. Rosen in?

I've got some extra
office keys for him.

I'll take those.

I should probably give
them to him personally.

You have some I.D.?
Bonita.

Hi.
Hi.

Bonita's a real-estate agent
for the building.

She's been extremely
helpful and...

Well, if she's so helpful, how
about the key pad entry system,

and the lobby
surveillance cameras?

I could look into that.
I'll walk you out.

Dr. Rosen.

I didn't realize what you do
is so security conscious.

What do you do exactly?

Uh, market research.

We're not in
market research.

Cover story.

Uh, by the way,

you left this
at my place last night.

Oh, uh, ties.

Uh, excuse me.

I'm sorry. I have to take this.

Call me.

Lee.
Dr. Singh.

Thanks for coming
all this way.

You... You said
there's been an escape?

First ever of a Binghamton
patient from a moving ambulance.

Someone walked
away from this?

The patient's cuffs were somehow
severed during the crash.

Marcus Ayers?

Got it in one.

And you have
no idea where he is.

I was hoping he might
have contacted you.

Marcus and I haven't
talked for years.

I try every time
I'm up in Binghamton,

but it's his choice.

Has his mental state
improved at all

in the time you've been
treating him?

If anything,
it's gotten worse.

The ideas of reference,
the persecutory delusions.

Nathan, hello.

Dr. Rosen,
I wasn't expecting you.

I know Marcus.
I know how he thinks.

You're going
to need my help.

The situation feels
pretty straightforward.

Got an escaped prisoner...
Patient, whatever.

All we got to do is find out where
Marcus is running to, intercept him.

Marcus doesn't run, Nathan.
That's not his style.

Have you ever played
chess with him?

Marcus plans meticulously.

He thinks through every move,
but he's always attacking.

Marcus sees
enemies everywhere.

And we know what happens
to Marcus' enemies.

If he's broken out,
he's perceived a problem

and has decided
to fix it.

The question is,
what's the problem?

Or who?

I'll see what I can do.

It's a simple game,
64 squares, 32 pieces.

Given any position
on the board,

there are only
a few logical moves.

Understand that, and the
game becomes predictable.

Well, you're...

You're not taking the human
factor into account.

People don't always
make the perfect move.

They do, though.

For them,
it's their perfect move.

Well, now we're getting to the heart
of what we've been working on.

You believe that everything that
happens in your life has intent.

That there are no
accidents or no mistakes.

Life isn't like that,
Marcus.

It's... Sometimes,
it's a flip of the coin.

The universe isn't random.

Things happen because
people want them to.

It's just moves.
And forced moves.

Well, what about you and me?

You didn't choose to be
my patient, did you?

Forced moves.

My roommates don't like me,

so they throw a party
right before finals.

I get angry,
and the police show up.

The judge makes me go to
counseling, and I'm here with you.

It's a chain of events,
cause and effect.

You don't really believe
your roommates

planned all of that,
do you?

I can see things.

How everything led to this.

How couldn't they?
Why can't you?

Because you're not like
everyone else, Marcus.

Your brain scans
revealed a...

A unique neural anatomy.

That's why I took such
an interest in your case.

I'm calling people
like you "Alphas."

Alphas. Acceleration.
The first variable.

I like that.

Let me ask you,

is there anything
out of the ordinary

that you can do?

We're on
our way home now.

Yeah, no, we're just
leaving the office.

Mom, I never said
that I would marry him.

I said that
I would meet him.

Mom! Mom!

Don't say anything.

No, I thought you handled that well.
No, you didn't.

You would've
stood up to her.

You would've
been stronger.

Look, I haven't talked
to my mother in years.

Or my father
or my sister,

so I wouldn't use me
as a yardstick for anything.

I don't know. Maybe
you're better off.

That's what I keep
trying to tell myself.

Good luck.

Tough first day?

It'll get better.

You know, my drill sergeant used
to tell me the exact same thing.

Look, I know you're feeling
pretty useless right now, but...

You don't know anything
about me, Nina.

Well, I know you have excellent
hand-eye coordination.

And Rosen thinks
you belong here.

I'll see you, Hicks.

Nice car.

I borrowed it.

Hi. I'm looking
for Dr. Rosen.

I don't know what
Dr. Rosen told you

over cocktails last
night, but it is not...

Cocktails?

We all know Dr. Rosen's
got some game, obviously.

Oh, Bill Harken, right.

I'd shake your hand, but
don't want any broken bones.

Miss Theroux.
No eye contact, please.

Rachel.
Do we know you?

Miss Sullivan,
you're early.

Oh, well, we were all
just getting acquainted.

Your cell phone
is encrypted.

That's right,
Gary. It is.

Agent Sullivan
is overseeing our group

while Wilson
is on assignment.

Glad you're here.

We need to gather
in the conference room.

We've got a case.
This way, please.

Uh, about that...

You and I need
to talk first.

In private.

According to Marcus' files, he blames
you for his institutionalization,

which he brought up
repeatedly at Binghamton.

And now you're saying
you think he broke out

with a specific goal
in mind.

What's to say
that goal's not you?

Uh, I...

I don't see it, frankly.

Marcus left me
a message.

What?

At the accident site,
and I followed it.

And if Marcus wanted
me dead, I would be.

Wait. He contacted you, and you
didn't tell anybody about it?

Well, not contacted,
not directly.

He wanted to remind me
of something.

Of a place and time.

Okay, so he doesn't
want to kill you,

but apparently, you still
have a conflict of interest.

Forgive me, but I don't think
we've known each other

long enough for you
to make that presumption.

All right, this is not what
I was aiming for between us.

Let's start again.

I have no interest
in playing games.

I won't withhold
information from you

without a good reason.

Look,
I wasn't all that happy

when they started
assigning us fieldwork.

That's not what I had
in mind for my group.

Working under Don Wilson,

finding people for Clay
and his tactical teams.

But apparently
that's the reality now.

So let us do our work.

Marcus has the ability
to predict and even control

cause and effect
in the physical world.

He can create elaborate
chains of events,

drop a coin and
cause a car to crash,

pull one wire and ignite
an entire building.

Now you all know
what I know.

Just remember,

Marcus' abilities
make him unpredictable

and potentially
extremely dangerous,

so no unnecessary risks.

Unnecessary risks.

How do you know
if a risk is unnecessary?

What's a necessary risk?

Gary, you're just gonna be scanning
cell phones and street cameras, okay?

Yeah, but I get headaches
if I go too long.

Well, that's pretty safe.
Is that a necessary risk?

No, you're gonna be okay.

Is that
an unnecessary risk?

Marcus has been on the
loose for almost a day,

and you don't
even tell me?

I know it always
troubled you,

the fact that I chose to
send Marcus to Binghamton.

Not as much as
it bothered you.

I always worried that,
you know, I would be next.

You know what happened
to my boyfriend

and what I made him do,
I hurt someone.

And so has
Hicks and Harken.

Never intentionally.

Yeah, but you're the one
who gets to make that choice.

Who goes and who stays.

Nina, that's something
I think about every day.

Cause.

Effect.

Uh, from now on,
let's avoid sharp objects.

Learning anything?

Well, I can tell you
he's no lost little lamb.

That man's got
a mean streak.

Driven by paranoia.

Since he can control
so much in his environment,

he has a hard time understanding
why others can't.

So, when people fail him,
he assumes malevolent purpose.

Yeah, I get that.

Precisely why I wanted you
to take a look at this,

because your neural anatomy
is quite similar to Marcus'.

So you're telling me my mind
is wired like a psychopath.

No, I'm not saying that.

Neural anatomy and psyche
are two very different things.

Marcus blames everyone else for the
things that go wrong in his life,

whereas you turn
the blame inward.

You obsess on every
moment of past failure.

I don't know, Doc.

I mean, I look at this
guy's face and I think,

you know, he blames
everything and everyone,

but somewhere
inside of him,

he is pointing that
finger right at himself.

What are you finding,
Rachel?

Well, there weren't
any fingerprints,

but I did find a tiny
smudge in the grooves.

It's old, but
I'm pretty sure it's...

Ash.

Yeah. How'd you know that?

Past failures.

Dr. Rosen!

What took you so long?

Dr. Singh says
you have a team.

He says they're a bunch of
misfits, I'd fit right in.

Are they here, huh? Are
they gonna try to stop me?

Is that why you left
a trail for me to follow?

Would you like
to meet them?

I think you'll find that
they're not your enemies.

So you're not my enemy?
No.

Your enemy has only ever
been your thinking, Marcus.

You've got to
understand that.

God, where have I
heard that before?

Oh, that's right, from Singh
and his staff for six years.

You told me I was special.

Then you handed me
over to people

that spent all their time
telling me I'm broken.

Mmm. God,
that tastes good.

You know, Singh won't
let me have any sugar.

Is that why
you brought me here,

to tell me about all
the horrible things

that are happening
to you at Binghamton?

You're saying this
is news to you.

That you don't know
what's happening to me?

The only thing that they've ever
tried to do to you up there

is to help you understand
your feelings of persecution

so you could live
a normal life.

Maybe in the beginning.

But things have changed,
you know?

It's not just ping-pong
and group therapy anymore.

What's changed? I don't know
what you're talking about.

And now, outright denial.

What am I denying?

Binghamton.

Big plans for the future.

This is your mind deceiving
you again, Marcus.

There are no big plans for...

Then why was I
in that ambulance, huh?

I don't know. I...

You don't really know what's
going on at Binghamton.

And you don't know why we're
having this conversation.

No, I...

And you don't even know when
you're being used as bait, do you?

Not much use,
are you?

Marcus.

Sorry, Dr. Rosen.

Our time is up.

Someone call an ambulance!

You should've
kept me in the loop.

Maybe then one of my men
wouldn't be dead.

And you are blaming me
for that?

You're damn right I am.

Okay!

All right, we are all
on the same side here.

Now, we need to start
sharing information,

or we're gonna have
more screw-ups.

I'm not the one
acting like a cowboy.

Nathan, let me
ask you something.

Marcus was furious about his
treatment at Binghamton.

He talked of plans.

Something that he thought was
going to happen to him off site.

Do you know anything
about that?

All I know is Marcus Ayers
is a paranoid and a killer.

So, sorry if I can't
see him as a victim.

Now, I got a next of kin to
call and a murderer to catch.

If you knew where to find
Marcus, you should've told us.

I suspected.
I did not know.

We shouldn't dismiss
what Marcus has been saying.

His persecutory delusions
often have a basis in truth.

They may even indicate
what he intends to do next.

So you think
that Marcus' fears,

his talk of plans,
there's some truth to it?

We need to talk
to Dr. Singh.

Thank you.

Lee, I heard what happened.
I'm glad you're all right.

Oh, I don't think Marcus
was trying to hurt me.

I really don't.
You're alive.

Seems to prove your point.

On the other hand, he might not
feel so kindly towards me.

Nothing like being thrown
into the deep end.

Vijal, is there
anything going on

at Binghamton
I should be aware of?

You haven't,
by any chance,

modified Marcus' treatment
plans, have you?

Is that what
Marcus told you?

Why was he being
sent off-site?

Marcus proved unresponsive
to traditional therapies,

SSRI's, SNRI's,
antipsychotics.

Sedatives worked for a time,
but he developed a tolerance.

We even tried shock therapy.

He redirected the current

and nearly killed
one of my techs.

We were shipping him
off-site for surgery.

For surgery? To see if we
could correct his problem,

suppress his Alpha ability.

Suppress his ability?

Marcus' ability is
an integral part of him,

as is the color
of a person's skin

or you being left-handed.
You can't extract that.

But if I could've, that
agent would still be alive.

If you'll excuse me,
I have another meeting,

more feathers
to unruffle.

Excuse me, Dr. Singh,
we're not through...

Vijal, I sent Marcus to you as a
patient, not as a guinea pig.

Really?
You sure it wasn't

because you wanted him
off your plate?

Be honest with yourself, Lee.

You have no idea what
goes on at Binghamton,

and that's the way
you prefer it.

Taxi!

Yeah, yeah.

I'll call you when I get
back to Binghamton.

The DOD's sending a notification
team over to Singh's family.

Knock on the door.

Uh, I think you should
take a look at this.

Two people are dead,
and this guy thinks

that this is
some sort of game?

I'm afraid it's all
games to Marcus.

It's all moves
and countermoves.

Yeah, well, I don't know how
many moves it's gonna take,

but this game is only gonna end
now with Marcus Ayers dead.

Domino number one.

How'd you come
up with that?

I just kind of worked
my way backwards.

Like I could see it.

Similar, but not the same.

There's no prints,
no trace particles.

It's completely clean.

They're no help. Everyone
saw something different,

none of it useful.

So all this, and
we're at a dead end.

Not quite, Bill.
I found this.

Marcus is obsessed with chess.
Yes.

I think Marcus' killing of
Dr. Singh is his latest move.

Assuming
Singh was the rook,

who do you think
is the black king?

Pollen, there's
lots of pollen.

Stargazer lilies, that's
where the pollen came from.

Okay, well, he could've picked
that up anywhere, right?

Hotels, restaurants,
flower shops.

Gary! I need you
to do a search.

I can't search any better
than anyone else, Bill.

I'm not Google guy.

I know, but you are
camera guy, right?

Yeah.
Right.

So I need you
to search cameras,

security cameras
all over Manhattan.

Yeah, I can do that,
but which cameras, Bill?

What am I looking for?

Specificity.

You're looking for
stargazer lilies.

Stargazer lilies.
It's a flower.

You got it?

Stargazer lilies.
Yes, yes.

Thank you.

Why don't you tell me

what happened
in that apartment?

Gas mains blow up
all the time.

It was an accident.

You don't believe
in accidents, Marcus.

Ugh! I know
you're mad at me,

but did you have to
take it out on the coffee?

We're not here to
talk about coffee.

I don't understand
why you're so upset, okay?

You're my doctor.

You're supposed
to take my side.

Two of your roommates
are in the hospital

with second and
third degree burns.

Look, I'm sorry the
building burned down, okay?

It was a nice place,
and it was rent controlled.

It's not like
anyone died, okay?

No one was going to die.

Unless I wanted them to.

Marcus.
I can't follow...

Marcus.
...the cause.

I think you need more help
than I'm able to give you.

What did you do?

I'm going to send you
to a place

where you can get
the care you need.

Now, Marcus,
this is Nathan Clay.

He's the gentleman who's
going to bring you there.

That's mistake number one.

What? You cannot
get sentimental.

That man is a killer.

He was a patient first,
Bill, my patient.

I keep wondering what I
could've done differently.

If I had known then
what I know now, I...

You know, I might've been
able to prevent all this.

Doc, Doc, don't go there. You
know how many times I hear that?

How many times
I hear mothers say,

"I can't believe my son
did this terrible thing,"

or, "I was his teacher,
I should've known better."

Let me tell you,
what you're doing

is exactly what
every good person does

when somebody that they
know that they're close to,

does something bad.

Now, the fact of the matter is
Marcus was probably born broken.

Nobody is born broken,
Bill.

Life just conspires.

I encouraged him.

I actually helped him
perfect his ability.

I might as well have put
the gun in his hand.

And now
we're gonna stop him.

Search parameters.

Bill, Bill, you have
to be more specific,

not all the stargazer lilies,

not all of Manhattan,
just the important parts.

Okay, okay.
Stargazer lily...

Okay, what are
the important parts?

The parts
involved in the case.

Stargazer lily
locations are set "A."

Places and people involved
in the case are set "B."

We're looking
for the intersection.

So, Gary...
The overlap.

Okay, so did you
find anything?

Yeah, Bill,
it's what I do.

Office tower near
the Federal Building.

Dr. Rosen, I...
Here.

Stargazer lilies
in the lobby.

Clay and his team
working out of

a temporary
location upstairs.

Yeah, a chess piece sitting next
to a whole table full of flowers.

Smell nice, if you like
that kind of thing.

Marcus was right there,
and I'm guessing he still is.

So you're saying
I'm the black king?

I like that.

He's coming after me,
let him come.

This isn't a game, Nathan,
chess or otherwise.

I know that.
Better than you.

From now on,
call me Your Highness.

Let's wrap this up.

I'm waiting!

Clay, unbelievable.

The guy's got a pair
of brass ones.

I'll give it to him.
He chose his ground well.

Open space,
no moving objects.

Not a lot for Marcus
to work with.

The area's
been cleared,

but Clay's got
snipers on the roof.

This isn't going to work.

Clay's ambush.

Marcus would've seen this
coming a mile away.

It's too logical
a countermove on our part.

You sure about that, Doc?

You ask me, Clay makes a pretty
tempting target out there.

He's not gonna just
walk into a trap.

It's up to us to find out what
his next move's gonna be.

Rachel, you're gonna
come with me.

Nina, you're gonna
stay with Hicks.

Fan out, move very
slowly and carefully.

If you see or hear
anything, call us.

Let's go.
I need your eyes.

Lee.

So this is how we deal with Alphas?
Nina...

When things go wrong
we assassinate them?

Marcus brought this
upon himself.

He did kill someone.

Snipers on the roof?

That's not what
I signed up for.

Trouble?

Understandable concerns.

Come on, guys.

What are they
trying to do?

Box him in.

Oh, maybe Rosen's right.
Maybe he's playing us.

Hey!

Hey! Stop! Freeze!

Come on, Rachel,
what do you hear?

I'm scanning.
Let me concentrate.

Okay.

I smell something.

Get back! No!

Gas, there's gas
in the sewer.

There he is! Stop!

Stop or we'll fire!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Checkmate.

Son of a bitch.

Marcus, why are
you doing this?

If I'm your target, you
could've taken me anytime.

I have something
to show you.

Drive.

Gary. Yes, Gary,
I know it's late.

Listen, I need you to track a
black SUV, government plates.

They just left the Federal
Building a few minutes ago.

Okay, I can see them.

Yeah, they're headed
north on Henry Hudson.

And he's going very fast.
It's illegal to go that fast.

Yeah, well, if you think that's
illegal, you watch this.

Stay on them, close,
but not too close.

Get after them.

Marcus, please,
don't do this.

No!

We're 50 meters up.

It takes a little over three
seconds to fall that far.

That means a body
would hit bottom

going something, like,
70 miles an hour.

If you're trying
to scare me, Marcus,

you're doing an
excellent job of it.

You have every
reason to be afraid.

We all do.

No matter what side
you're on.

There are no sides here,
Marcus.

But you have
broken the law.

You have hurt people.

What have you always said?
Cause and effect.

And now this is where we find
ourselves because of that.

It's not that simple.

What they plan
to do to me.

What they plan to do for
all the Alphas at Binghamton.

That's got nothing to do
with the law or medicine

or common decency.

But that does not
justify murder.

It's not murder.

Singh was a casualty of war.

War?

I see what's coming.
20 moves ahead.

I thought that
you could, too.

That you had
to be a part of it.

But now I realize
you didn't see it coming.

You don't...

You don't see anything.

I'm trying, Marcus.
Believe me, I'm trying.

All units, looks like they're
heading into Inwood Hill Park.

It's an out
of context problem.

What?
Out of context problem.

That's what the Alphas are.

No one saw us coming, so the
response is instinctual.

Panicked. Violent.

Yes, but it doesn't always
have to end in violence.

The Alpha phenomenon,
it's an opportunity for us,

for all us, for you.

It's your gift.

My gift?
Yes.

My gift got me locked
up for six years.

Terrified Singh so much,

he was willing to cut my
head open to pull it out.

He wanted to
turn me into nothing!

He wanted to turn
all of us into nothing!

He was afraid of us.

And maybe he was right.

Marcus, you are a much better
person than what you are doing.

I miss that.

And your belief that somehow
trajectories can be altered,

even once the dominoes
have started to fall.

They can.
They can.

You can always change.
No.

You're wrong.

It's too late for me.
My path is locked in.

No. No.

The sides are only gonna get more
rigid, more predictable, but you,

you're the variable,
the part I could never see.

You still have
one move left to make,

the only thing
that might get you

to this rosy future
you cling to.

And what move is that?

Kick over the chessboard.

Good job, Gary.
We found them.

Right on time.

No, Marcus...

They need to see this.

Ayers!

Bill! No!
It's not necessary!

Please,
put your gun down.

This is all playing out
the way it's supposed to,

you and me standing here.

This is the best
possible outcome.

If I'm wrong,

they'll take me alive.

Nathan, no!

Still no sign
of the body?

In his debriefing, Clay
swore he hit Marcus

square in the chest.

So I guess chances are his body
got taken up with the current,

which means it may
take weeks to find it.

Or we may never find
it at all, right?

And then there's that.

Agent Sullivan, have you
ever heard of the phrase,

"Out of context problem?"

Like the Spanish and the Aztecs.
Yes. Exactly.

The Aztecs were able to
handle anything their world

threw at them until
the Spanish showed up.

Yes, and destroyed them.

See, Marcus said that

Alphas might be our
out of context problem.

Do you agree?

I think it would be a mistake to
get into that kind of thinking.

Us versus them.

It should be us and them.
That's the only option.

Let's hope you're right.

It's been 18 hours.
You want to call it?

Nope. Keep looking.

Yes, sir.
