Original subtitles

A possible Red Flag prisoner's in our office.

Cameron said that he and Nina had him subdued

and now they're bringing him here.

I thought Sullivan wanted an "approach and evaluate,"

see if the man is an Alpha or any Red Flag connections.

Well, clearly things went another way.

So we still don't know what his ability is?

No.

It's a good thing we got this thing up and running.

1968-16-7. That's not your birthday, is it?

Super Bowl III.

Jets beat the Colts 16 to seven.

Yeah, but you couldn't have been old enough to have been there.

I was six months old.

I even have a photo of my dad holding me

while he was watching the game so that makes me...

A Jets fan for life, baby. We're coming.

You see what we did last year, right?

Yeah, that's football, right, Bill?

Uh, yeah. Football.

Anyway, so we got bulletproof polarized glass,

we got industrial grade surge suppressors,

fire retardant foam.

And the best part is

we got an emergency lockdown for the whole office.

The windows, the doors, everything, shut.

Now if only we can get the DOD to buy us a new car. Can they do that?

Oh, gosh, Bill, I...

I don't know.

I've allowed this to go so far beyond what I envisioned for all of us.

Doc, you got to get over that.

We're no longer just your patients.

We're a government asset.

What's the expression,

"Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Yeah, well, you got to go with the flow, right?

Isn't that what you always tell me?

Look, ever since that mess with Jonas Englin

I've lost my ability. I'm here, right?

I'm good with it. You're good with it. So...

No, I'm not all that good with it.

It's not who you are.

And the DOD isn't happy with it either.

Actually I'm trying to figure out a way to get your ability back.

I know you're a fine investigator, Bill,

but as far as the government's concerned we are a group of Alphas.

You're not an Alpha and you're still here, right?

Besides, Doc... Huh?

Jeannie and I are thinking about renovating the kitchen

so please keep those checks coming.

This isn't going to work.

This isn't going to work. They ignored my checklist.

I made a detailed list.

Sleep gas dispensers and telepathy blockers

and some automated gun turrets.

Gary, those things don't exist.

Yeah, I liked the old Bill better.

You'd take things seriously and your veins would pop out

when things weren't right and this isn't right.

Why aren't your veins popping out anymore?

I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Yeah, why are you still here then?

You're not even an Alpha anymore.

If I wasn't here, you'd miss me, right?

You being gone and you being different are the same thing.

Did you give me a hug today? Give me a hug.

Whatever, Bill. Whatever. Gary.

Ow. Ow!

That's cool. I got it.

Hello? Are you hearing me? What was that noise?

Check over... Bill, ten-four.

Uh, Rachel,

this is not a police radio.

You can speak normally.

Okay. I hear them. They're in the elevator with Dr. Kern.

All right. Thanks. Let's go.

Sorry about this.

Well, were you able to confirm any Red Flag connection?

No, we barely sat down before he got suspicious.

What about an Alpha ability?

I tried to push him, but it just didn't work.

Well, I want to run some MRIs first.

Then we can put him in the holding cell.

Let's move fast before he wakes up.

Doc, you okay?

Yeah. It's just, uh...

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

Please don't wake him up.

Relax, Rachel. You know, I still have my gun.

And I am a better shot when I'm not all amped up.

You know, Bill, I... I was thinking

if I dosed you with a mixture of adrenaline

and steroids, we might be able to jump-start your ability.

Doc, I am not interested.

All that got me was issues, right?

Marriage issues, and work issues, and...

No, I understand your concerns.

Like who needs it?

We might.

We all have our issues,

but we're learning how to control them.

Yeah, well, I'm all in control now. Thank you very much.

All right, let's see what we have here.

Paperwork? Already?

God, you're so motivated.

I used to ignore it and pretend it would go away,

but it never did.

Cream, no sugar, right?

I pay attention.

I wonder what tipped Kern off to us.

Well, the guy's an obstetrician,

he sees happy couples all the time.

Obviously didn't see that in us.

What, we don't buy the whole happy couple thing?

No, look, I'm not saying that.

Rosen thinks that it's a bad idea, you and me.

What do you mean? You told him?

Well, he's our shrink.

Or is it because, uh...

Because I'm divorced and in AA? Maybe...

Maybe it's because I have a kid.

We work together. It would be unprofessional.

No, we do things in this job

all the time that are unprofessional and you know that.

But that's not it.

He thinks that

I'd be bad for you

and he might be right.

Cam, I've screwed up every relationship I've ever had.

Me, too.

So we're perfect for each other?

Hey, guys, um, Doc found something. We got a meeting.

Yeah, we're on our way.

How can Kern be blind?

Because he has no optic nerve.

The MRI revealed something, uh...

Well, pretty interesting.

It's as if they've never developed.

So even if his eyes were functioning properly as they appear to be,

no visual data would ever reach his brain.

Which is why I couldn't push him. He couldn't see me.

Look, when things got ugly,

that guy dodged around his desk and he ran straight for the door.

There is no way he's blind.

Well, unless he's an Alpha,

which I have some ideas about.

But I need to run a few more tests.

So we're talking about a blind Alpha that's a baby doc,

and a member of Red Flag.

Where's my phone? Who's got my phone?

Bill? Bill? Bill? Where's my...

Gary, I've been here the whole time. What are you talking about?

Yeah, where'd you put my phone?

Gary, I've been here the whole time. I don't have your phone.

Gary, your phone is right here.

Oh. Well, that's not okay.

People shouldn't be touching my phone.

It was a gift. It's special.

Okay, and it's back in your hands. It's fine.

Yeah, no, it's not.

'Cause it's open to data files and those are private.

Hey, yes, Gary's phone is private.

Please, no one is to touch it

unless they have Gary's permission, all right?

Yeah, the answer is no.

All right, the reason Dr. Kern is here is that

DOD suspects that he's been doing some sort of research

and they're hoping that we can figure out why.

And, more to the point,

a radicalized Alpha who is also an obstetrician... That's, uh...

That's a disturbing thought, to say the least.

Well, we cleaned out his office.

Uh, hard drive, cell phone, patient files.

Meds, vitamins, blood samples...

Which, Rachel, you'll take a look at.

Everything that could be tacked down. That's great.

And, Gary, you will look into the cell phone

and computer transmissions.

That's just data mining.

People without abilities can data mine.

Well, you know, we all can't do that. I can't do it, Gary.

Neither can I.

We all know that you are so much more than your abilities, Gary.

You have very many talents.

I know, I'm amazing.

My lucky day.

Gary?

Hello?

Hello?

Who's there?

Did you call me?

I'm working.

Do not disturb. That's my IM chat status.

I should get a sign.

Hey, Gary, were you just there by my office?

Rachel, you're not making sense.

I told you, I'm working.

I work in my office.

Bill, could you remove the mouth strap?

You sure?

Yes, I have the test results I need.

I just would like to speak with him.

Okay, whatever.

Let me tell you something.

Happiness is a warm gun

and mine is a SIG 226. You got me?

I want my lawyer.

Yeah, and I want a Reuben sandwich.

I'll have my lawyer pick you up one.

Well, unfortunately, Dr. Kern, you're being detained

because of suspected involvement with a terrorist organization.

The only organization I belong to is the AMA.

So, what, Alphas,

ability, Red Flag, that means nothing to you?

Bill, will you take the cuffs off,

stand him up, and have him face the glass?

Turn around slowly.

Keep your arms up.

And now face the wall, please.

What is this, a cavity check?

That's just as I thought.

Sonar, echo location.

What, like a bat? Or a dolphin.

You can sit down now.

Very interesting.

You have no optic nerves.

However, the audio processing capabilities

of your brain, your voice box,

chambers in your sinus passages,

they're all significantly enhanced.

You're an Alpha, but, of course, you already know that.

This isn't going to end well.

Is that a threat?

Hey, Clay.

Rosen and I are going to keep working with Kern

and Rachel's nosing around through what we found in his office.

Rosen thinks he's probably said about as much as he's going to,

so why don't you come scoop him up?

All right. What, two hours?

Maximum?

All right.

Have a safe flight.

Doc, can we talk?

I'm a bit busy, Cameron. Can it wait?

No, it won't take long.

Look, I just wanted to say, um, me and Nina...

If you could just give us a little space,

let us figure some things out for ourselves.

I'm only trying to look out for the both of you.

Well, I get that, but we're adults.

We get to make our own mistakes,

so, please, just let it go.

I'd like to,

but as your psychiatrist and your employer

I don't think I can do that.

And I don't think you're in a place to make that decision.

Am I interrupting? I'm always interrupting.

I'm sorry, but I found something in the items from Kern's lab.

It's important.

Here, look at these.

"Building blocks for a better baby."

Yeah, they're vitamins, for pregnant women.

I decided to break one open and take a look inside.

You know, really take a look.

Rachel, what did you find?

DNA.

Active human DNA inside the vitamins.

Active human DNA introduced into a developing fetus

could cause multiple birth defects, severe mutations.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about.

Hold on a second. I smell blood.

In the hallway.

Nina.

It just started bleeding.

I haven't had one of these since I was a kid.

Oh, gosh, look up.

No, it... It's okay.

Headache or anything?

It was just a few broken capillaries.

Nothing serious, but were you picking?

I don't pick.

Here, take this.

You'll be fine, just clean it up, okay?

Okay, got it.

Are you aware you have mitral valve prolapse?

Three millimeters of displacement.

Oh, you just did an ultrasound of my chest.

You should get that looked at.

Well, I have a heart exam twice a year.

I'm monitoring it.

Thank you for your concern, though.

Like you, I took an oath.

Do no harm. Oh.

I may be an Alpha, but I'm a doctor first.

I hope you'll keep that in mind.

No harm?

What kind of doctor gives active human DNA to pregnant women?

Someone who cares about the future.

Whose future?

You're aware of Renestrin?

A new drug that allegedly prevents birth defects.

But what it really does is interferes

with the fetal development of more evolved children.

What you're really saying is it prevents

babies from being born as Alphas.

Consider my special vitamins the counter agent.

Are you planning to distribute your counter agent all by yourself?

Can any of your team read minds?

Well, I guess there are some questions that aren't meant to be answered.

Dr. Rosen,

I know what's going to happen next.

Men with guns will whisk me away to some government facility.

That would be a tragic, tragic error.

Well, I'm afraid the real tragedy is

you choosing to join a terrorist organization.

Red Flag isn't as monolithic as you think it is.

Oh, regardless of its scope,

you and your friends tried to assassinate me.

Fringe elements, radicals,

not representative of the mainstream.

You know, it's amazing

how often people use that term, fringe elements?

Occurs to me that the IRA, PLO, KKK, all fringe elements.

Whose very existence depends upon the support

of their mainstream fellow travelers.

I've read your field reports, doctor.

You advocate a future

where Alphas and normal humans cooperate for the common good.

That's the future I want.

We should be working together. Comparing notes.

You're inviting me to join Red Flag?

I'm afraid I don't meet their entry requirements.

I see a time coming soon

where the unenhanced will be able to join our cause.

That's where you belong.

Dr. Kern, if you're willing to disclose

what exactly it is you're up to,

I'm willing to intervene on your behalf.

Impasse.

I'm disappointed for you, doctor.

Well,

I'm not the one going to Binghamton.

What makes you think I am?

Bill?

Hicks? Come on, guys. This better not be a joke.

This guy's holding out on us.

Any ideas how we break him down?

He's sonic guy, right? Yeah.

Maybe it's time we pull out

the Captain and Tennille's Muskrat Love.

Sonic warfare.

Yeah, it's been known to work.

Just remember, anything we force him to listen to,

we've got to hear it as well.

Trust me, they used the same trick on detainees in Bagram.

I still feel sick every time I hear Copacabana.

I love that song. Oh, come on.

I do. It's one of my favorites.

You hear that?

Gary screwing with the computers again?

I can't get in the system.

It seems like he's done some sort of keypad retrieval.

Have you seen Rachel?

No, not lately.

She's not in her office

and no one's seen her for a half hour.

Yeah, why don't you scream for her?

Yeah, I did, okay? She's gone.

- Rachel! - Rachel!

Rachel, if you can hear us, say something.

Nothing, nothing.

There's something wrong with the security camera footage.

Gary, Gary, Gary, come here, come here.

Show me what you're looking at.

Pull it up on the monitor, please. Okay, it's glitchy.

Give me Rachel's office an hour ago.

Something's making it glitch. There.

Okay. Okay, there she is.

In her office going over the stuff from Kern.

Can you fast forward?

Yeah. It's glitchy, though, it's glitchy, glitchy.

Okay, wait, wait. Here, here. Then she leaves.

Oh, no, wait, wait. I found her. 20 minutes ago.

There.

There.

Hicks!

Nina!

Gary, stay here. This way.

Rachel!

Rachel!

Rachel, where are you?

This is the last place she was seen on camera, right?

Yeah.

Rachel!

Oh, my God.

What? Bill, over here.

It's blood.

I've got blood here, too.

Yeah, these look like drag marks, right? Starting over there.

No, they start here.

Well, she couldn't have just evaporated. What the hell?

Rachel, where are you?

Rachel!

Hey, take a look at this.

Was this like this when we moved in?

What are you doing?

Where's Rachel?

Rachel?

Which one's Rachel? The tall one or...

The other woman.

Well, I never met her.

You can do more with your sonar than just find things.

I'm chained to a table.

I can't run around abducting people with my voice.

Besides, my hearing is quite good.

The number of heartbeats on this floor hasn't changed since I walked in.

How many are you hearing?

Do we really have to play this ridiculous game?

There are eight. There have always been eight.

Yours, mine, and the six members of your team, I assume.

We haven't been properly introduced.

Dr. Kern, there are only six of us.

That includes Rachel and myself, plus you, that's seven.

What?

Have things...

Have things gone missing around your office?

Strange sounds?

Computers turning on randomly?

People sensing someone nearby without ever seeing anyone?

You have an unwelcome guest.

What are you saying?

That Rachel's been kidnapped?

And that person is still here in the building?

Let me solve your problem.

Let me help you or we're all dead.

Why should I believe anything you say?

Don't, don't.

But one member of your team is down already.

Ignore me,

things will only get worse.

Let me out before it's too late!

Let me out!

You need to let me out!

I'm the only one who can keep us alive.

Don't need to hear that.

I don't trust that guy for a second.

I searched the entire offices again and still no Rachel.

Now we've got nothing to go on except what Kern is saying.

I can't wait for Clay to show up and get this guy out of here.

Not until we find Rachel.

Yeah, I think we should at least consider what Kern is saying.

An intruder would certainly explain

some of the strange things that have been happening here.

Right, Doc, earlier today I thought I was imagining something, right?

I felt that someone was watching me.

I turned around and there was no one there.

Exactly, Bill.

That is called proprioception.

It's one of the ways we have of processing

the millions bits of information in our environment around us.

It's like you said,

you find yourself in a room full of people, you sense something,

you feel compelled to turn around and they're looking right at you.

That's our proprioception at work.

So our proprioception says someone's here,

but our eyes say there isn't.

Yes, well, unlike Rachel,

when we're looking for something we rely on our vision.

But vision can be deceptive.

How many dots do you see?

Two.

All right, now, hold this with your right hand.

All right. Close your left eye.

Look at this dot and move the paper slowly towards you.

One of the dots just disappeared.

Into your blind spot. You've all heard of one.

We all have one.

It's a hole or gap in our visual landscape,

which exists because of the way our brains are wired.

We might be dealing with an Alpha who can exploit this phenomenon.

Let's say that there is an Alpha here, right, that does it.

How do they get into that gap?

Bill, I don't know.

They might be able to send a signal that swells the optic nerves

thereby expanding collectively the blind spot

and move into it so nobody can see them.

I still don't buy it. I mean, there's cameras everywhere.

Exactly.

An Alpha might be able to mess with our brains,

but how does he get past the cameras?

The cameras are glitched.

Someone's made them glitchy.

There's dropped frames and time lapses.

Is it enough to get around without being seen?

Yeah. Yeah.

But it's only our cameras. It's only the cameras inside this building.

Yeah, the...

The camera across the street looks into this building

every 15 minutes

and that's why I won't go to the bathroom

three minutes after, or at 18 or 33...

Gary. Gary. ...or 48.

Yeah. Okay, watch this.

Wait, who's the...

Hicks, behind you!

Where'd she go? I can't see her!

What happened?

Ah. I never even saw her.

This isn't good. It's a lot of blood.

It's okay. It's okay. We'll get you to the ER.

Get a pressure bandage on that right away.

She's activating the blast door!

Take him to the lab.

The password's been changed.

Well, the phones aren't working either.

Or the internet.

Yeah, and Rachel's missing, Hicks is on the DL.

Even if Clay gets here in time, he couldn't get in.

Don't worry about that now.

Maybe Gary can override the lock system.

All right. That's worth a try.

Ah! Stupid security glass.

Gary?

Gary, what are you doing?

I'm using two chairs. Gary, no.

I tried one chair and now I'm using... Gary. Gary!

No, Dr. Rosen, I used one chair. I'm speaking to you.

Yeah, let me use the chair.

I need your help. Will you come with me?

I am helping.

Come with me, please. Oh.

It won't kill you,

but no bouncing off the ceiling for a few days, okay?

Glad someone paid attention during the first aid class

Harken made us take.

Hey, come on, come on, we got to find Rachel.

I'll get Rosen to give you some pain pills.

Addict.

Sorry.

Okay. Come on.

I'm not good for you.

I don't care.

That witch took my phone. What witch?

The witch. That's a word my mom uses when she's angry.

She uses another word, too.

She took Rachel and she took my phone.

Bitch got my gun.

That sounded like shots.

That sounded like my gun.

Bulletproof glass.

Excellent idea.

Oh, it's cracking. Gary.

Do you have my phone? Not so close.

Gary, Gary, I need you to see

if you can get the computer systems back online.

Don't leave his side. Got it.

Cameron, Rachel. I'm on it.

This is definitely my gun.

Hey, hey, where is she?

Where's blind spot girl?

You mean the person who just tried to shoot me?

Or free you.

I say day, you say night.

We're never going to find common ground like this.

Yeah, you want common ground?

Why don't you start with her name?

Griffin.

Her name is Griffin.

But I suspect it's a nom de guerre.

Red Flag considers her an unsanctioned variable.

What exactly does that mean?

Someone who sells their services to the highest bidder,

but supports no cause, has no allegiance.

A person should believe in something, don't you think?

You two I respect, even though you're wrong,

at least you're loyal to a cause greater than yourselves.

So you're saying that she's just a mercenary doing anything for money?

My ability can be extremely useful in finding her,

not to mention your missing compatriot,

Rachel...

Rachel, yes. I don't think so.

And then you guys waltz out of here laughing your asses off.

Good try.

Does it look like I'm laughing?

Griffin's after me. She'll do whatever it takes to get me.

Including killing all of you.

Well, look, either you're a target or you're an accomplice.

But either way you're staying right where you are,

until we hand you over to Clay.

Rachel!

The blast door, I can't get it open.

Why do we always have to fight other people with abilities?

It's annoying.

I guess I'm not meant to be normal, huh?

I'm sorry, Bill.

I had hoped we'd have more time to talk,

but, uh... You know, weigh the pros and cons

and let you have more time to

make your own decision about this.

When you used to talk to me like this,

it used to make me cranky.

Well, I'm afraid it will again.

Ah.

So the decision has been made for me.

How long does it take?

It should take effect immediately.

Let's give this sucker a test drive.

Come on, Bill. I can do this.

I can do this.

You should be able to by now.

The drug should be checking in.

I got it.

Doc, it's not happening.

Look, I'm not sweating, right?

My heart rate feels normal.

I'm not feeling any rush... Do you want to?

...or rage. Of course I want to.

No, that's not what I'm asking.

What are you saying? You think it's in my head?

Well, your ability to do this has always been linked to an...

To an emotional state of yours.

You can't have one without the other.

We are not going to die because I can't get this up.

Well, that should make you angry.

All right, Bill, stop, stop, stop. Stop.

You can't do this, all right?

It's okay. Now we can't find Rachel

and I think we're going about this the wrong way.

I think we need to go on the offensive.

Are you sure this is going to work?

Yes! Break up the patterns. The more abstract the background,

the harder it should be for Griffin to blend in.

It's messy.

I know, Gary, but we'll clean it up.

Come on, Gary, move!

Gary, move, come on! I am. I am.

Stay right here by yourself.

Sit down by that pillar.

Okay, the camera's on.

Bill, be careful!

- You bleeding again? - Over here!

No, I'm fine.

Well, get Rosen to look at it, okay?

Over here.

Look behind you.

She's running.

There! There!

The footprints! In the creamer!

Gary, get to your office, lock the door!

She's in the MRI room!

Nina, no!

Nina, get back here!

Where is she? Where'd she go?

It's a trap. Bill, get that door.

Oh, my God, Gary!

Gary!

Damn it! She's got us.

Gary! Gary!

Gary! Gary, get out of there!

- It's okay. - Move!

Gary! Okay.

Son of a bitch!

Gary!

DCIS, don't move.

Stop hiding. Come out.

Open up, Gary.

Stop hiding.

Okay, you're only making it worse for yourself.

You have to stop hiding.

DCIS. You're under arrest.

Gary, get out of there. Run to your office.

Stop hiding. DCIS. You're under arrest now.

Please, stop.

You have to stop. Please, stop.

- Please, no, no, no. - Hey!

Oh. Oh, that felt so good.

Gary, are you okay?

So, how do you do this?

Fool our brains so we can't see you?

I've never given it much thought.

Why don't you cut me loose so we can figure it out together?

I can give you a demonstration if you like.

I didn't think so.

Kern referred to you as an unsanctioned variable.

Hmm.

I prefer ronin.

Sounds cooler.

Well, I've been following him for two weeks

and then you lot scooped him up so thanks for that.

Why don't you just let me take Kern and leave?

It's the easiest solution to your problem.

Well, that's interesting.

He says we should release him to stop you.

That you are our problem.

And you don't know who to believe, huh?

You seen your walls lately?

What are you talking about? The cracks?

Yeah. We noticed some cracks on the beams.

There are cracks everywhere.

You've got a sonic Alpha in your holding cell.

He's trying to break out of here

and he's been trying since the minute he woke up.

These vibrations are... Well,

they take time to build.

I don't trust her.

For all we know she's working with Kern.

I'm sorry about the knife, handsome.

See, I don't like it when people get close to me.

I don't like it when they can see me either.

That's why Kern's so annoying with his sonar.

Who are you working for?

Let's just say it's someone that's interested in Kern's research.

His so-called vitamins.

Look, I get paid for delivering Kern's research,

which I've already gotten off your computers.

I get a bonus for bringing in Kern.

I can't do that if I'm dead.

Let's just call a truce.

Let me take him out of here,

I get my fee, you get to live.

We all win.

Hicks.

Dr. Rosen, he's bleeding again.

Come with me. Oh, God.

You're still bleeding.

What's going on?

It's probably the vibrations.

It's okay. It's not like I'm dying or anything.

But you don't want Doc here thinking you actually care about me.

Very funny.

Doc. Yeah?

Doc, take a look.

Look. Yeah.

Right there.

Oh, my goodness.

I can hear the rumbles. It's getting worse.

Doc, I think you need to take a look at him.

I wasn't hurting anyone.

Don't make me hurt you.

Whatever happens to us is going to happen to you.

If you bring this whole building down...

All I wanted was to bring more Alphas into the world.

Why is that wrong?

Why are you treating me like a criminal?

Bill! Bill, we've got to get inside and stop him.

Here. Take this.

What is this?

It's ether. It's not elegant, but it's quick.

Go on.

Ah!

It's hot as hell.

He's turned the cell into a reverb chamber.

He's shaking the whole building and it's creating heat.

If it gets hot enough

the metal might be at the breaking point.

Dr. Rosen.

Duck. Duck and cover. Bill, duck and cover.

Gary, Gary, watch her.

Yeah, okay. I'll do both. Okay?

I'll watch and I'll cover. Okay, good.

I'll cover us.

He's lost too much blood.

We got to get him out of here.

Come on. Come on.

Take him to the blast door. Yeah, okay.

I'll find Rosen.

Who hired you?

I was told to

bring you in alive, but that's never going to happen.

Who hired you?

It's too late.

No!

So much for my bonus.

You know, a man with your abilities

could make a lot of money

if he went into business for himself.

This is never going to happen.

Yeah?

Well, I owe you one and I hate owing people.

So I'll pay you back.

Stanton Parish.

What the hell is that?

You better find out.

Who knew office work was so dangerous, huh?

Stanton Parish, Bill?

Yeah. Yeah.

It was something that

Griffin threw at me as a parting gift, I guess.

I don't know. Maybe it's a place, a person, I don't know.

Oh, we'll look into it.

Yeah, well, the sooner, the better, Doc.

I told you that we needed gun turrets, Bill.

You know what?

I talked to your mother and asked her, could we fight Alphas in your bedroom?

And she said no. What's up with that?

That's not helpful, Bill.

My house would be the worst place to fight them.

And anyway, my bedroom's off limits.

Gary, no, that's a great place.

I think, you know, we can keep them as prisoners there or...

Yeah. Yeah.

I know what you're trying to do, Bill, you're trying to annoy me.

But it's not going to work.

You know, you were a lot less annoying

when you didn't have your ability, and

now that you've got your ability back, you're annoying again.

You're Bill again. You're the old Bill.

You're damn right I am.

Nina, you know, I have to clean up my office.

Yeah, well,

don't want your wound to open up.

Rachel would smell blood, she'd get... I get it.

You like me.

Don't be so...

Don't be so juvenile.

Come on. I saw how you reacted when I got cut.

I would have done the same thing to anyone.

Hmm.

Well, how about this?

That's pretty grown up, huh?

Wow.

I don't care what Clay says, this was a bad idea.

Yes, we do seem to be learning by trial and error, hmm.

Mostly error.

So no more prisoners in the office, right?

Oh, I certainly hope not, Rachel.

You know, you saved all of us.

Trapping Griffin and detecting Kern's ability.

Just trying to earn my paycheck.

I scanned the entire office.

There's no sign of Griffin. She got away.

And I'm assuming that she took the data on Kern's vitamins with her.

Yeah, she probably delivered it to her new employers,

wherever they are.

Huh.

Things aren't going to get easier, are they?
