Original subtitles

Too hot.

It's 9:28, kiddo.

It's perfect. Trust me.

It's too cold.

Really? Yeah.

You know, you could get it yourself,

and that way, it would be exactly the way you want it.

Yeah, I know.

Or I could get it.

Gary?

Gary?

Gotcha.

It died again. Where's the cord?

It's over there.

You like them runny or well done?

Runny.

Sorry. I overcooked them.

Milos Kosar.

Intel says Red Flag's most aggressive operations are run through his cell.

He doesn't look so scary.

This man nearly had us all killed, Nina.

He was the one who sent the Ghost after us.

He's our prime suspect in 10 other cases.

I'm the one who found him.

I followed his cell phone.

Yes, you did, Gary. Thank you very much.

It was easy.

Can I keep the vest?

Gary, please. I can't concentrate. Please stop with the straps.

Six heartbeats on the perimeter,

three in the house.

Three heartbeats inside the house.

Copy that, Bill. All right, copy that.

No names over the comms, please. Over.

Team two, there's three unfriendlies on the inside. Copy that? Over.

Copy.

Team two, are you good to go?

Hell yeah. My vest smells like cop sweat.

Team one and team two in position. Over.

They don't know that we're here.

Element of surprise is still ours.

Intel says they're planning something any day now.

My gut says move.

Yeah, what does the rest of you say?

Look, these are your people.

You know them better than I do.

Gum? Keeps the mouth from getting too dry.

That always happens on these kind of deals, you know?

You get the dry mouth because of all the adrenaline.

Yeah, maybe I will. Thanks.

Going to need two minutes to

get in position behind the door.

That's pretty exposed.

When the signal comes, run for the door.

I'll get you in.

You know who we are, right?

In our briefing, they said you guys were civilians.

They said that, huh?

SWAT? Do I look like I don't know what I'm doing?

FBI.

At least I still think I am.

Set here, one.

Heartbeat's steady.

All right, let's go.

Rachel.

Good to go. Team one.

All right, let's do this.

Call it, team two. One. We're a go.

Milos, we've got company!

Moving in! Moving in!

Move! Move! Move!

Here we go! Here we go! Let's make it critical! Go!

Eyes on the target!

Bill!

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

Bill, can you hear me?

Bill? Two heartbeats moving. One static!

Rachel, do you copy?

Bill, do you hear me?

Only picking up one heartbeat in the back room.

Not moving. Move, move, move!

Rachel, what's going on? Why did that happen?

It's static in the back room. Bill, do you hear me?

There's only one heartbeat in the back room now.

Anna, if you can hear me, blink once for yes,

twice for no.

Her senses work,

but her ability to understand and communicate is compromised.

Most likely autistic.

Low functioning at the far end of the spectrum.

Harken says the home is in her name. No family.

No one to complain when Red Flag moves in.

So, what do we do with her?

Good question, Nina.

It's a lot of plans and technical information.

I'll have someone check it out.

The good news, these guys boogied out of here so fast,

they left a lot of evidence.

There's singe marks here and on the lighting fixture.

This is definitely not your typical blackout.

What about this computer?

It's encrypted.

That's a neat little trick they pulled off.

In all the confusion they must have just jumped out the side window.

They just walked away?

Uh, yeah, after they blacked out everything,

somehow they got away.

That was a statement, Mr. Hicks, not a criticism.

Sounded like a criticism to me.

Are you kidding me?

They sent us in here against Alphas with unknown skills,

and somehow, we're supposed to know every angle.

I thought that was DOD's job.

The best clue we have right now is this home.

Might still pick up incoming signals from Red Flag.

So, what about the girl, Anna?

Uh, I'll make some calls,

see if I can get her into a home.

In the meantime, Sullivan's people

will keep a watch out for the three of you.

The three of us?

Meaning me?

Yes, I want Gary here, scanning for signals.

I'm supposed to babysit?

Yes, just keep him focused.

He gets the egg salad at 1:30.

The question of who is normal isn't medical.

It's political.

If you hear voices,

are depressed, are attracted to the same sex,

if you believe in God, or believe in nothing,

at one point or another,

society has branded you with the stigma of mentally deficient.

We are not normal by any strict definition,

but we reject the label of deficient.

Okay, I think we get it.

In many ways...

Well, hang on a second. Doc, this is the stuff we took from the house, right?

Yes.

And that frightens them.

Shouldn't we let it finish?

This is the remote for the Blu-Ray.

It's just some pieces I've seen before.

This is more propaganda for their followers.

We need to discuss Milos Kosar.

No, that sounded like a mission statement to me, Doc.

Now, if Red Flag has a plan, wouldn't this help us figure it out?

Murdering their enemies is their plan, Cameron.

You know that better than anyone.

Can we move on, please?

This conversation's done.

Bill, what have we got?

This, uh, triggering device.

Doc, can we... Can we please get a proper conference table?

Triggering device?

Yeah, a detonator so you can blow something up by remote.

Found a lot of other stuff, too,

and a ton of info on Northwell Petroleum.

It's a regional fuel company.

There's the goal we're talking about.

So the big guy's strong... Hmm.

John Woo guy's got aim. What do you do?

I can fly.

Really?

Yeah. Laser beams shoot right out of my eyes.

All right. Forget I asked.

I know you're saying something,

but I... I don't understand.

Nina!

Don't answer.

All right. What's up, Gary?

I said don't answer.

You have a listening problem. Put it on mute.

Hitting mute.

Now I've got a signal.

I can look at your sounds.

Okay, Anna, I can see it now.

I can see the sounds.

Okay, I can see the...

You.

This is you.

Can?

Can.

This comes after the "I."

What's next?

Help. Help what?

Okay, "Help."

I...

"I can help you find them."

"I can help you find them"?

Huh.

No, the signal that I found in my bathroom,

that was Kosar's cell phone.

But I couldn't understand the voice.

It's just... It's bloops and scratches.

But it's not a voice.

It's her language.

And she's the only one that can speak it.

She invented it.

Red Flag must have used her

to encode some of their transmissions.

No, all of their transmissions.

She understands everything.

She can understand me, Gary?

Yeah, she understands everything.

Every language.

Every language?

Yeah.

Ni vyema kukutana na wewe.

Huh. "It's nice to meet you too, Dr. Rosen."

She says. That's a message for you from Anna.

Swahili. Chinese.

Even some obscure Hindi dialect

I picked up from a yoga instructor in Dharmshala.

She understands it all, Nina.

I guess you do, too, Mr. Modest.

She's a virtual Rosetta Stone.

She's a living, breathing universal language translator.

Yeah, I know what a Rosetta Stone is, thanks.

I looked through her case history,

and she has been consistently diagnosed

as severely autistic

and sometimes even mentally disabled.

But that's not the case.

What she has is severe apraxia.

It's a condition which affects speech

and other motor skills.

She may not be able to sign

or nod hello,

but her language and pattern recognition is...

It's enormously enhanced.

She has taken all the sounds that she can make,

and she has created her own, unique language,

and no one noticed.

No one noticed that she is an Alpha.

Gary did. Yes, Gary did.

And so did Red Flag.

Hmm.

You know, with Gary's help,

she could translate every message on that tablet.

And we don't have to chase after Kosar.

We find out where he's going.

So we take her back to the office.

No. No, uh...

Familiarity, continuity,

the, you know, the day to day...

It's very important, given her condition.

I think they should stay here.

Rosen.

Lee, do you have any idea what time it is?

Uh... Sandra.

Hi, sweetie.

I'm not going to bed.

I missed 9:30, so I'm gonna stay up.

All night!

You can't get him off schedule like this.

I know, Sandra, I'm very sorry.

But he doesn't adapt well. I know, I know.

I know this is good for Gary, but, uh...

This can't keep happening. He met a girl.

A girl?

She's about his age,

and I've never seen him take to anyone so quickly.

Well, is she, uh...

Well, she has some cognitive disabilities, yes.

Like Gary. Uh, not as social.

But, um, she's quite extraordinary in her own way.

Wow.

Well...

That's, um... That's good.

It is. Yeah, it is. That's good.

And, uh, I promise, no more late nights.

Okay.

Good night. Good night.

Dr. Rosen wants us to translate all of them.

Anna. Okay?

He thinks your special language abilities

will help us decode the encrypted emails on this tablet.

Hey, Anna, what's this?

I just want the email.

You're controlling this.

With those sounds.

You have a secret, Anna.

Now we can really talk.

Ha! One friend to another.

You sound like the lady on my voice mail.

That's really cool, Anna.

The things you can do are amazing.

No.

No, it's not so amazing.

Dr. Rosen says that

a part of my brain just...

It grew bigger than other people's.

And so, I... I can see all the waves that float around.

What do they look like?

They look like colors and shapes.

Hey, Gary, you working in there?

No, I'm talking to Anna about myself.

She thinks that I'm amazing.

I do, too, Gary. Just get back to work, okay?

Yeah. Anna, we have to get back to work.

Where does Dr. Rosen want us to start?

The first message. The one that I followed here.

This one.

The brownout was localized to an area

directly around the home,

and it gets stranger from there.

The carpet's singed and the fibers clump together

in dense patterns.

It's really strange.

I've never seen anything like it before. See?

No, I can't, Rachel, but I trust you.

Some sort of static electrical interference, hmm?

Maybe. It was powerful and tightly controlled.

That's our Alpha skill right there.

Now, at least we know what we're up against.

Doc.

I found something.

Gary sent me a ton of these,

but this is the one that caught my attention.

U-S D-O-T?

Department of Transportation. It's a routing number for

a Northwell Petroleum truck that's on the road right now.

So he's gonna blow up a fuel truck.

No, 'cause we're gonna stop him.

I hate these faucets, you know?

The sensors never work.

We okay? Yeah.

What's the problem?

Ignition is electric.

Ah, give it a minute. It'll bleed off.

Explosives. Yeah.

Are they in place?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's good.

Be careful with this.

Second car's in place, ready on your go.

Tell your guys to be extremely careful.

Rosen says this guy can conduct electricity or something.

"Something like that." That's great.

Yanks have a day game

against Boston today. I'd love to make it home

in time for that.

Target in sight.

Satellite has confirmation on the USDOT number.

It's a match.

Let's go. Let's do it.

Mobile one to mobile two,

we're gonna divert target west at intersection.

Target coming your way.

Locked in on target.

We got him.

Out of the cab! Now!

Hands up where I can see 'em!

Where's the bomb?

Bomb? I got no idea what you're talking about!

It's not Kosar.

It's not him!

You checked the number?

And did you re-check the number, Bill?

Of course.

What about the driver?

Are we certain he is who he says he is?

For all I know, he could've been Mark Sanchez, okay?

But he wasn't Kosar. It wasn't him.

Look, we put a scare in him back in Montclair.

It is possible that he ditched the plan.

No, no.

Not Milos Kosar. He's an ideologue,

and he is not easily intimidated.

He's out there with a bomb,

and I... Which I assume he's going to use,

and we have no idea where he's going.

Nina?

I want Gary at the office as soon as possible.

We need him.

I need help sometimes.

A woman comes to buy groceries and pay bills,

but I'm in charge of my own life.

I'd like to buy my own clothes.

My mom won't let me. She won't let me

buy a leather jacket like the one

in Step Up 2: The Streets.

You don't need Doctor Rosen or your mother to take care of you.

You're really smart.

Yeah, I am really smart.

I don't... I don't like to do some things.

Anna, you don't know me well. Mmm.

I don't like to take care of myself.

I think I know you a little bit.

Yeah.

Okay, is this right?

Only one mistake.

No, I got that right.

The date... It should say 2011.

Count to 10.

Anna, count to 10. I want to check something.

Anna.

Maybe you're right. Yeah, I know.

But count to 10, 'cause I wanna check this.

It could be something else.

Never mind.

Gary...

Hi, um...

I need to take Gary with me.

Rosen wants us back.

Yeah, I want to stay.

Wasn't an offer, Gary.

Well, I'm not leaving.

No... You're going. We both are.

Uh... No. No, I'm staying.

Hey, Gary, just get in the car now.

Hey! Don't try and push me.

Excuse me?

You're trying to push me, and it doesn't work on me.

No, I know it doesn't work, and I wasn't.

So what's eating you?

Ha! That's a stupid question.

Nothing's eating me.

I'm not leaving. Okay, big shot.

Well, who's gonna take you back?

I am. The big shot will drive himself back.

Or I'll call a cab, since I don't have a car.

Gary, I don't have time for this.

Just get in the car now.

I'm not leaving!

I'm not a big shot.

I'm an adult.

And I don't have to do what you say.

It's the end of the conversation.

Okay.

My CO guy used to say,

never let the fight get personal.

Well, they tried to kill me, Cameron.

It doesn't get more personal.

Don't you want to know why?

I know why. I stood in their way.

Apparently, Red Flag doesn't need

any more justification than that.

Okay.

You know, you make things personal, you get emotional.

You get emotional, you make mistakes

and you overlook stuff.

I seem to remember someone telling me that about my Alpha skill.

Don't be cute.

Uh, okay.

You wanna catch this guy, I get it.

Just let him be the one that makes the mistakes.

I'm glad you stood up for yourself.

I'm glad you stayed here with me.

I like you, Gary.

Then why did you lie to me?

I knew that there was something weird about the date.

'Cause 10 was 20. And you...

You didn't want to explain.

So, I went back through the messages.

And if I thought that a two was a one,

then the first code that you gave me was wrong.

And that's why the truck was empty.

And you don't make mistakes with that.

'Cause that's your Alpha skill.

You gave me the wrong number on purpose.

But that was smart. You were smart.

Because if you just made something up,

I would have known.

So, you made it close,

and you changed the number

so that we wouldn't find the real truck.

I had to, Gary.

I know you did, because

they weren't making you do anything.

You work for them, Anna.

You work for Red Flag.

No, Gary, I don't work for them.

They work for me.

This is really bugging me. This doesn't make any sense.

Okay, so we're assuming that Red Flag

ditched their plan, right?

But did...

You know she can smell your hands were on that, right?

No. She's gonna smell that

your nasty hands were on that thing.

Anyway, we're assuming that

Red Flag ditched the plan, right?

But the driver finished his route in Pennsylvania, which means that

the truck was empty by the time we got to the road.

So, the question is, why would Red Flag plan

to go after a truck with no fuel in it?

Exactly.

Hmm.

You know what I would love to see?

A unicorn sliding down a rainbow?

No, I would love to see a list

of all the Northwell trucks on the road right now

with fuel in them.

2652 is on I-95.

South? Yep, heading south.

There's no way we can cover

all those trucks at once,

even if I can convince someone that I'm right.

I think you're right.

I don't just translate the messages.

I write them.

My friends trust me.

If you were with us,

we would trust you, too.

Huh.

We would never treat you like a child.

Yeah, well...

I could figure it out.

'Cause I know the real number.

So, I could figure out the plan.

I'm sure you could.

Yeah, I could, but...

It'd be better if you just told me where they were going.

Anna, I don't want anyone to get hurt.

If you were my friend, then you'd tell me.

You are my friend, and I will tell you.

Okay, good.

I don't want to hurt anyone, either.

But, sometimes, we don't have a choice.

There's a drug to prevent birth defects.

But lots of things are considered birth defects.

You're not answering my question.

Now, you're telling me something else.

Alphas.

That's the word Dr. Rosen used, right?

Women who take this drug won't give birth

to any more Alphas.

But why would they do that?

That doesn't make any sense.

Society can't deal with people like us.

We need to send a message to them.

We are not a problem to be fixed.

Make a choice for yourself, Gary.

All you have to do is say nothing.

You haven't answered me.

What are you going to do?

I never made my own friends.

I... I know people.

And they say that they're my friends, but...

I didn't meet them, like how I met you, Anna.

I know, Gary.

Yeah, so... Are you really my friend?

Or... Were you just pretending

so that I'd send them the wrong information?

Of course, I'm your friend.

Okay, good.

'Cause I just... I did something.

Sneaky.

And... I don't think that you're gonna like it.

Sullivan, I'm not saying it won't cause panic.

You know, maybe it will cause panic.

But you tell me, what other choice do we have?

Bill...

No, tell... Tell!

Look, you could send 20 squad cars to Manhattan

to stop the ones heading there.

Bill, you need to look at this.

I'll call you back.

I want him here, Nina.

We need Gary's skills.

Was I unclear about that?

Shouldn't you ask Gary why he doesn't want to come back?

You don't think I get it?

Yes, Gary has met someone like him.

It's new. It's exciting.

But that doesn't make his behavior

any less juvenile.

And it doesn't make you leaving him there...

I didn't leave him there. He wanted to stay. Any less irresponsible.

I'm not his mom, and I'm not his babysitter!

Let's go. Trenton, New Jersey.

Montclair Pharmaceuticals.

What's going on? Gary found Kosar.

We got a truck loaded with fuel

headed to the Montclair plant.

Now, apparently, there's a new drug

that Red Flag wants to destroy

before anyone gets a chance to take it.

I don't understand.

He texted you this? Yeah.

Well, how did he get the number wrong in the first place?

Doc, it was the girl the entire time.

She is Red Flag. The girl?

Yes! She gave us the wrong information

to give her guys more time to move.

Gary's still there.

Bill! You and Hicks go ahead.

We're gonna go get Gary. Rachel...

This is Kosar we're talking about. Come on, this is our shot.

I know. Go get him.

Let's go!

Let's go, let's go.

I'm sorry that I had to do it.

Anna, I had to because

your friend Kosar,

he tried to kill Dr. Rosen, and that's wrong.

Rosen isn't like us.

He's not an Alpha.

No, he's not, but he is my friend.

Anna, you don't have to worry, okay?

I'm gonna make sure that nothing bad happens to you.

Dr. Rosen's gonna help you now. Like how he's helped me.

I don't need his help. And neither do you.

I hope someday you'll see that.

No...

They're coming.

Whoa! No! Stop!

Hey! Hey!

It's through the gate.

All right, it's the R and D building on the southeast corner of the campus.

That is the target. Evacuate immediately.

Okay, take the wheel.

What? Take the wheel!

We can't wait for the timer!

Get it as close as you can...

And then blow it!

Where you going?

Hicks, the truck!

Don't blow it up.

Thanks, Bill. Just let me concentrate.

Hold it steady!

Hicks, you ready? I'm on it!

- Freeze! - Go get Kosar!

Gary?

Gary? Gary?

Are you, uh... Are you all right?

Gary!

I have a headache.

Are you... Are you hurt anywhere?

No.

Hi, Nina.

Hey. Where's Anna?

I don't know, Gary. I don't know.

She was gone when we got here.

Oh, I need my phone.

Here, here it is.

Thank you.

You're okay, right?

Yeah.

Gary, I... I know you liked Anna,

but remember, I'm your friend, too.

Yeah... I know. But you're not one of us.

You're not.

Gary, I don't make distinctions like that.

Now, I don't know what Anna told you,

but I want you to remember

that Red Flag is just a small group of people

with some very extreme ideas.

Yeah, I know. You already told me that...

Before.

I sent you an email, Dr. Rosen,

and you should read it.

You wanna test it?

No.

I'm not going back down.

No, if it's too cold, then I can get it myself.

I can take care of myself.

Okay.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, sweetie.

I love you.

I'm sorry, Gary.

I hope you are still my friend.

The drug makers and educators have been warned.

If they try to bring this poison to market,

we will act again...

And we will continue to do so

until they understand true neurodiversity

cannot be limited by their small minds.

We picked this up over an open frequency.

They didn't bother to encode it,

so I had our speech analyst take a look.

The writing matches... It's her, no question.

Hicks warned me, and I did not listen.

I underestimated this young woman.

And not just her ability,

but the strength of her argument as well.

I'm not getting your point, Rosen.

What, are you switching sides?

No, this drug was designed to limit the chances

of brain damage in infants.

If it had gone to market, it may indeed

have prevented other Alphas from being born.

I don't know that.

All I know is that there's good guys and bad guys,

and today, your people

put the bad ones in the ground.

Yes, they did.

And I can appreciate that.

I can have two conflicting thoughts at the same time.

Something Don Wilson used to say.

I hardly knew the man.

Fine, stay conflicted.

But all this is, is a bunch of criminals

who used an issue to try to expand their reach.

Maybe.

I want to show you something.

Wilson and I always thought Red Flag was a loose network

of 50 to 100 affiliates.

A cartel, but...

When Anna flooded Gary with messages

we got quite a different picture.

This more than

a criminal enterprise.

This is a movement.
