I've got Isaac. He's made
contact. Female. Early 20s.
They're on the move. The
girl seems to be leading.
Gary, can you get me an image?
Uh, yeah, okay. I got her.
See the way she's
moving? She's an Alpha, too.
She's processing her
environment somehow.
Isaac Hale is an
assassin, right?
My guess is she's his tracker.
She finds the target and
our man closes the deal.
I don't get it. Sullivan
said that Red Flag leaders
have been vanishing off the
grid all week. Something's up.
Well, he's our only lead. So keep
an eye on him, but don't engage.
There's a pawn shop.
We can sell it here.
No. No. These
places rip you off.
Baby, you're hurting.
We need the money.
No, come on. Let's go. Let's go.
You have something of mine.
You can piss off!
Don't, Will! Don't!
Don't! Come on!
Don't make me kill you. It makes
me tired and then I get cranky.
He found his target. Where?
They're down the alley!
Left! Go left! Where?
Come on!
Ah! Ah!
Will!
I know you're a couple
of brain-dead junkies.
But for once, be
smart, give it back.
He said piss off.
Your fault. Ah.
Cover's blown.
We were supposed
to be following him.
Ah.
You killed him.
Danielle.
No.
Nina, push her to come with us.
Ah!
Ah.
Rachel, go after Isaac.
It's okay. It's okay.
- Cameron, follow Isaac.
- I have to go after that girl.
What's so special
about the girl?
She's my daughter.
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 knew Rosen had a daughter
and they didn't get along,
but he never told
me she was an Alpha.
She just made you cry,
just came out of nowhere?
When she touched me,
it felt like I'd lost my
best friend. It's like
she can force people to
feel whatever she wants.
She sure as hell didn't
seem too happy to see Rosen.
If my kid ever looked
to me that way...
I lost them.
Damn it. You lost someone?
Yeah. I'm not the one who flew in
there like Jackie Chan and blew our cover.
Hey, I'm not sure if you
noticed, but he was killing people.
Gary, you got anything?
Yeah. Danielle Sofia Rosen. She ran
away from home at 17. She was arrested...
No, look, not about Rosen's
daughter, about Isaac Hale.
No, I lost him when Rachel did.
But don't worry, I'm multi-tasking.
We should circle
the neighborhood.
See if Rachel can track a scent.
Okay. Just don't drive
by that Thai place, okay?
It totally kills my
sense of smell.
Hello, where is everybody?
Who's manning the fort?
It's not a fort, Bill.
It's a bad metaphor.
Forts have ramparts and cannons.
We have desks and carpet.
You're sitting in
the boss' chair?
What, are you charge
now? Where is everybody?
Yeah, Bill, I am in charge
when no one else is here.
What are you doing here anyway?
You're sick. You
should be resting.
Six more days, not
including the weekend.
I'm fine. The doctor said that that
infarction actually normalized me, so...
Yeah, no more overdrive, no
more under-drive, I'm optimal.
Bill. The rest was
only precautionary.
Yeah. Infarction.
No. Come on.
Gary, not now, listen.
Fart. Listen,
we've got to focus.
I'm being immature. You know
we've been trying to figure out
why the Red Flag leadership
has been off the grid, right?
Yeah, it's an
ongoing investigation.
And you're interrupting it.
No, I'm laying at home, right?
Sitting on my ass
and I'm thinking
I may actually have
a possible lead.
You know how that
invisible girl, uh, Griffin,
said that I need to find out who
or what Stanton Parish was, right?
Yeah, well, go and look it
up on your computer, Bill.
It's easy, use a search engine.
Gary, listen to me. I already
tried that. I couldn't find anything.
Don't put your
fingers in my stream.
Okay, listen. Then
I got to thinking,
why did Red Flag try so hard
to erase our MK Ultra files?
What if the secret to Stanton
Parish is on Dr. Rosen's cloud drive?
Bill, you want me to look
through the cloud drive?
Uh, yeah, exactly.
Well, I can't. I'm
already multi-tasking.
No, Gary, you can do it all.
I'm looking for Isaac
and I'm tracking Dani.
Who the hell is Dani?
There's Dani. Dr. Rosen?
Dr. Rosen? Yeah.
Can I have my key? GARY:
Yeah, I got your daughter.
She's at the Baltimore
Hotel. It's a no-star hotel.
There's only one review.
It says, "Don't stay here."
Dani?
Danielle?
Danielle? Are you in there?
Danielle? Dani, if you're in
there, please open the door.
I thought I was hallucinating.
Oh, you're not,
as far as I can tell.
I don't want you here.
Well, I... I don't want you here.
I want you to come with me.
No.
It's no use, Dad. Dani...
Dani, you're in pain.
Just leave me alone.
I know you're always hurting.
After you use your ability.
I don't care. Will you
please just let me help you?
Oh, what are you going to do?
Give me another therapy session?
Dani, run! Run. Come on.
Get off of me!
Dani!
Dani!
Come on!
Come on!
Two for one.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Nobody had to die. You
could have just given it back.
Dani, will you sit down
for a second, please?
I... I can check your vitals.
Please, Dad, I am not
going to make you cry.
At least not from my ability.
So, what do you want now?
Painkillers again? Or what?
Oh, come on, don't tell me we're
going to have an intervention.
Just trying to help.
Not bad.
So, what is it?
Lamotrigine.
Lamotrigine? That's an
anticonvulsant, among other things.
Yeah, I know. I mean, it's not
what I'm on but it's what works best.
Better than the Ritalin you used to
give me, even better than the trazodone.
Better than the Oxycontin, which
by the way I did take a few hours ago,
just in case you were going to ask
me to give you a urine sample next.
Just to warn you... Okay.
Okay. Fine. So Lamotrigine.
Look, why don't you just
write me a prescription,
put it on your insurance and
I'll be out of your life again.
I don't think so.
I'm sorry about that boy.
Yeah, well, he was hardly
a boy. He was 34 years old.
Dani, I need to know why
that man was chasing you.
Finally, there's
the real question.
His name is Isaac Hale.
He kills people for a living.
He was part of a
group called Red Flag.
Red Flag? What is that,
one of your punk bands?
You know, Dani, there
are no rules that say
you can't tell the truth
every once in a while.
There it is.
That's what I remember,
that disapproving look.
Sorry to interrupt. Lee?
He's all yours.
You have a time,
tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m.
Wait a minute, what exactly
are we talking about here?
We've been monitoring
Red Flag's communications
ever since their leaders
started dropping off the grid. Yes.
We don't know what
they're planning or where
but we have a timeline
now so we are on the clock.
Lee.
Look, Kathy, I don't
think you understand,
the young woman in my office...
Yeah, I know,
she's your daughter.
That's why I'm not questioning why
you killed our best lead, but you did.
And now I need you to set
aside your family business...
Red Flag wanted something
from my daughter so badly
that they were
willing to kill her for it.
If your daughter can help
us with this case, great.
But if not, you're a
therapist, compartmentalize.
I know you're concerned, honey,
but I wouldn't have come to work
if I wasn't feeling better,
right? You know that about me.
Bill. I found... I don't need...
I don't need the pills, babe.
I'm at work. I'm busy, okay?
Bill, come on... Huh.
You're drinking pills.
Bill, come on. I found him.
You asked me to do this.
Babe, I got to go. I'll
go... Yes, I'll take it easy.
Yeah, you found who? Here.
Stanton Parish. He was a who.
And you were right. He
was on the cloud drive.
So he was a scientist
who died in 1974.
Yeah. And he worked for
the government for MK Ultra
and before he died
he wrote this, Bill.
It's a manifesto about Alphas and back
then they weren't even called Alphas.
"Neuro-dominant
humanity represents
"the greatest potential
advancement for civilization
"since man first walked upright,
which is why those who fear change
"will inevitably seek to
eliminate us." He was an Alpha?
Yeah. And he was a good
writer. Anna writes stuff like this.
Stanton Parish is Red
Flag's favorite dead author.
Invisible girl made it sound like
this guy is the key to everything
so there's got to be more, Gary.
Bill, look how much I printed.
No, I know. This is a lot. There's
got to be more. Please keep digging.
Yeah, I don't... I don't
think I like hard work.
Dani, I need you to tell me
the truth about what happened.
We don't have time for games.
Of course we don't
have time for games.
You never had time for games.
Blood tests, psych tests,
EEGs, sure. But games.
Why don't you just stick some
electrodes to my forehead, Dad?
Just for old times' sake.
Tell me how I'm feeling.
That was 15 years ago and...
So I should be over it?
Is that what you're saying?
You're in serious
trouble, Danielle.
You need to calm down, tell me
what happened so I can help you.
So, you want to help?
You know what Will
would do when I was upset?
Bring me flowers.
Get me whatever drug I
needed, even if he had to steal it.
But then again
he loved me, so...
Well, I love you, too.
Okay. You want to know
what Red Flag was after?
These.
I took them from
some guy at a meeting.
Thought they were rubies,
but turns out they're just glass.
Hands up.
Oh, I don't... I don't like...
Ow.
Huh. Anna!
It's good to see you.
You always say that we can't meet
up, but I... I wanted to see you again.
It's good to see you.
It has all your sounds on
there. That's very cool, Anna.
I've missed our conversations.
Yeah. I've missed
them, too. Uh, Doctor...
Oh, yeah, okay.
I wish you were here for another
reason. That quote you sent me, Gary.
Oh, yeah. "Society's acceptance
is a prison disguised as a palace."
Where did you find that?
It's Stanton Parish. Is he
your favorite writer, Anna?
Gary, Stanton Parish is
a very dangerous man.
You shouldn't be asking
questions about him.
Anna, you said "is."
Stanton Parish is dead.
He died 30 years ago.
He's Red Flag's
favorite dead author.
You need to go now, Gary.
Anna, why do I have to go now?
I just got here. Why do I have
to... Anna, don't make me go.
It was difficult for me
to come and see you.
Anna, I had to be sneaky. Ow.
Anna.
Dani, you did the right
thing giving us the necklace.
Thank you. But we should talk.
Will you sit down, please?
The past is past. Okay.
You know, I think you'll find
that I'm a pretty different person
than I was 15 years ago.
Are you?
To me you seem to be
pretty much exactly the same.
Except now you have a whole
team of people to play with.
Don't talk about what you
don't know. Pushing buttons.
You have no idea what's going
on here. Dad, you always say I lie,
but there are
different kinds of lying.
You can tell people
what they want to hear.
You can, uh,
pretend that you care.
And then there's
outright manipulation.
And when have I
ever manipulated you?
"Camel mealie."
Chamomile tea?
Whenever Mom would
get angry at you for
locking yourself in a
room with your lab work,
you would come to me and
say, "Dani, Mommy's sad..."
Please bring her a cup
of "camel mealie" tea.
Right, no, I remember.
But Dani, that's not...
So I would bring her the tea and I would
sit on her lap and I would stroke her arm.
And she'd feel better. Empathic contagion,
right? Isn't that what you call it?
Right, that's right.
Well, that was me. I
was Mommy's little helper.
But, you know, that's not
exactly the way it happened.
That was... That was before
I knew about your ability.
You're right, Dad. You're
always right. Except with the tea,
I did that until Mom
and I moved out.
When I was 12.
You knew what I could
do when I was nine.
Hey, Doc. Doc! Listen...
You okay?
Yeah. It was a mistake
to bring my daughter here.
Listen, we have 12 hours to
figure out what Red Flag is up to.
No, no, listen to me. That's
what we should be working on.
Doc, listen to me. Listen to
me. We haven't cracked it yet,
but Gary and I just found something
that is huge. You need to see it now.
All right.
So, we looked for the name but all
we found was a book by a dead guy.
And then, when I asked Anna
about it she just lied to me.
Gary, you spoke with Anna? I
expressly told you not to do that.
Look, I told him the same thing,
okay? But he's his own man.
Just... Just give him a minute.
Yeah, yeah, give me a minute.
I'm my own man, thanks, Bill.
So, Anna's a good
liar, not like me.
But... But I still caught her because
she said "is" instead of "was."
Stanton Parish isn't a
dead writer. He's alive.
Bill, please. Doc.
So I did another search,
but not by name, by face,
and that's the creepy
part Bill was talking about.
There, he was a scientist in
Russia for their MK Ultra program.
Same face, same man.
So, Stanton Parish
was a double agent.
No, no, no, Dr. Rosen. It's a puzzle,
you have to look at all the pieces.
It's a metaphor.
Just... Okay, okay.
Same face, Stanton Parish.
Stanton Parish.
Stanton Parish.
Wait, this is from
the Civil War.
Yeah, it's old. He was
about 40 years old, right?
Same guy, a hundred years
later when he worked for MK Ultra.
He's an Alpha who doesn't age?
And Anna says
that he's dangerous.
She's scared of him and
Anna's not scared of anyone.
And there's this, he
wrote this. The manifesto.
Bill says it's the
Red Flag playbook.
Wait a minute, an Alpha this powerful
and we knew nothing about him?
That's why they were trying to
erase our files. To keep Parish hidden.
Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss.
I got it. The rubies,
I figured it out.
These may seem like junk, but
this is laboratory-grown silicon.
More densely organized
than anything I have ever seen.
It is the perfect
storage medium.
So I decided to...
play around.
And then in this,
inside the pendant,
I discovered this.
It's a jump drive.
Voilà.
Gary, can you...
Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I'll do it.
There.
Wait a minute, that's encoded data,
right? Gary, isn't that Anna's language?
Yeah, that's what Anna
does. She sends messages.
Like the DOT numbers on the truck they blew
up, the order to assassinate Dr. Rosen...
No, no, she regrets that.
She said that that's regrettable.
We'll argue about that later,
okay? Can you translate this?
Yeah.
All right, those are
GPS coordinates.
Yeah, it leads to Highland
Mills. That's not far from here.
Sixty miles.
It's a map, directions.
No, no, it's...
It's an invitation.
See right here?
There's a time. 7:00 a.m.
Like Sullivan said,
tomorrow morning.
All right, so if that's a time and date
for a meeting, what's that underneath?
That part's sneaky. It's even
sneakier than Anna's code.
So, what'd I steal?
Oh, okay, no, no, no. I've got
it. It's a quote here at the bottom.
It's from the book,
A Call for Change.
It's more than a quote, Gary.
It's a signature from the leader
of Red Flag, Stanton Parish.
He's called this meeting.
We confirmed the intel that
you gave us. Nice work on that.
The target, an old
abandoned brick factory.
We're bringing in tactical
teams, special equipment,
everything we can throw at them.
You're positive this supposed
leader of theirs is going to be there?
Well, he called the meeting.
I suppose he'll be there.
Then Anna's going to be
there, too. And you can't hurt her.
She... She's my friend
and she can't protect herself.
Our first move will be tear
gas and non-lethal weapons.
But let me be clear, these
terrorists will be neutralized.
Yes, Senator?
Gary, maybe you should go home.
No, I'm not going home.
Anna's going to be there and I'm
going be there. I'm part of the team.
Okay, I'll join in with
tactical and do what I can.
And I'll protect Anna if it's possible.
- Yeah.
Doc, you'll stay outside and
coordinate with Rachel and Gary.
I'm going to go in
with Hicks and Nina.
Bill, you can go in,
but only as an agent.
It's too early to put that
kind of stress on your heart.
This is Red Flag versus
us. This is endgame.
I'm in.
Here you go, Doc.
It's time.
Hey.
These guys you're going after,
is it their fault
that Will's dead?
Yes, I believe it is.
Then I hope you get all of them.
Rosy future.
Something someone
once said that I wanted.
And he wasn't wrong.
What would that even look like?
Dani,
you were right,
um, about the tea.
I knew about your
ability and I used it.
I used you to try to save a
marriage that I had already ruined.
I... I don't know what you
expect me to say, Dad.
I don't expect you to say
anything. You don't have to.
I just wanted you to hear it.
No, I'm not coming
home tonight, Mom.
I... I can't tell you, but
my friends need my help.
All of my friends. Yeah,
I love you too, Mom.
Mom, please don't cry.
Listen, Bill's going to
protect me. Come on.
He's my partner.
He's... He's very strong and
one time he pushed me over,
which was better
than taking a bullet.
I said don't cry.
Come on, time to
saddle up, let's go.
Anna's here, two bodyguards.
That makes over 30
Red Flag Alphas inside.
Gary says that's the last car
heading this way, as far as he can tell.
Dr... Dr. Rosen.
Dr. Rosen, you should
let me go and talk to...
You should let me go and talk to Anna,
because I could get them to surrender.
I always get people to do
what I want to do. Gary. Shh.
Because I wear them down.
Yeah, you do that, Gary.
Gary, this is a very
dangerous situation.
If you want to be here, you
have to do exactly as you're told.
Yeah.
You look like you belong here.
Once a Marine...
I thought you hated the Marines.
It's kind of a love-hate.
Look, if anything
happens to me...
Don't say it. It's bad luck.
Still no sign of
Parish? Nothing.
He never showed and neither have
about another dozen Red Flag leaders.
From what I can hear inside
they are not happy about it.
He calls the meeting and he doesn't
show? That doesn't make sense, he should...
It's starting.
What are they saying?
Hiding like this is gonna
make things worse.
You don't get to decide.
- Let her talk.
They're talking
about going public.
Going public?
Tell the world the
truth about Alphas.
Remember, stick with your teams.
Watch you fields of fire and
give the gas time to work.
Agent Sullivan? No one
advances until I give the say so.
Agent Sullivan, Kathy.
Wait, wait, we can't do this.
Put some socks on, Lee,
your feet are getting cold.
No, will you bear with
me just for a moment?
Listen, the day before this
meeting was supposed to happen,
a Red Flag assassin leads
us right to my daughter.
Who is carrying an invitation which my team
decodes just in time for us to be here.
Now what does that
sound like to you?
A set-up. So you think
we're walking into an ambush.
No, I think we are the ambush.
Stanton Parish gathered
these people here,
he tips us off to their location just so
that we'll do exactly what we're doing.
Why would Stanton
Parish betray Red Flag?
According to you,
it's his organization.
Because Rachel has heard
the people inside talking.
They're talking about coming out
of the dark, revealing their secrets.
Going public? Yes.
Well, then it's a good
thing we're here, Lee.
No, Kathy... And I am betting
that's exactly what Stanton
Parish wants you to feel.
You're playing
right into his hands.
You're betting, you
are betting, you think.
A week ago you didn't even
know that Stanton Parish existed.
And now apparently you're in his head.
I don't have time for your theories, Lee.
Do the people in that building
belong to a terrorist organization?
It's not that simple.
Really? Because I think it's a yes or
no question. Are they Red Flag or not?
All right, I'm not saying
that they're all innocent...
Well, good, then you haven't
lost your mind altogether.
Go! TEAM LEADER:
All right, here we go now.
Oh, Rachel. This is a mistake.
This is a big mistake. Oh.
Team one in position.
Team two on the move.
Wearing a mask you can't push
anyone. You should be hanging back.
I'll be okay.
Team two in position.
Ready on your go, command.
Release the gas.
We are federal agents.
Surrender and no one will get hurt.
No, no, no!
No, Dr. Rosen... Gary!
Gary, no! Gary!
Rachel, stay here. Stay here.
Gary!
On the ground, now!
Keep moving!
Anna!
You're like me.
Better.
Gary!
Gary!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Ow! No, no!
Gary! Gary!
Sleep.
Gary! Wait, Gary!
Get out of the way!
Man down! Man down!
Permission to open fire!
Copy that. Return fire is
authorized. Return fire is authorized.
Fire at will! Ah!
Anna! Anna!
Anna!
Anna!
Ah!
Ah!
Anna! Anna!
Anna, Anna, it's okay. Anna?
Come on, I'll help carry you.
Anna, come on.
Anna. Anna.
Anna, come on.
Anna...
Get up, come on! No!
No! No!
No! No! No!
No! No! No!
No! No! He's one
of us! He's one of us.
Anna, Anna...
My God.
Oh, my God.
Anna!
People died.
Anna died. But she
shouldn't be dead.
If... If I had a gas mask I
probably could've saved her.
Gary, you don't know that.
Yeah, well, you don't
know either. Nobody knows.
And Dr. Rosen, he doesn't know.
See, he pretends to know
everything, but he doesn't.
I don't know if I
can keep doing this.
I don't think I'm the only
one who feels that way.
No, she's not.
We don't know what we're doing.
I'm not sure if we ever did.
And right now
there is no "this."
No, Cameron, you're wrong.
This is a team.
And that hasn't changed.
What you've done, you've
done for the right reasons.
Under circumstances that sometimes
were beyond even our control.
You followed your instincts,
you followed your hearts.
You have nothing
to be ashamed of.
We have to stand on that.
What about the fact
that every time we...
Lee?
I'm sorry, excuse me. I need
to talk to you for a minute.
Yeah.
Is this where you explain all
about clouds and silver linings?
Not me.
Hey.
This is still a win, Lee.
A win for who? Us
or Stanton Parish?
If Parish exists, we'll get him.
So you have whatever resources
you need. Money, equipment, it's yours.
You want another Alpha on
your team? Pick one. Pick five.
How would your
daughter like a job?
Can we please not
talk about my daughter?
Fair enough.
Look, I know you're not
able to see it right now,
but the raid on Highland Mills
was a success. It crippled Red Flag.
We caught terrorists, we
stopped this Alpha situation
from being blown wide open.
And that is a huge victory
for you and your team.
I know. Thank you.
And if you want proof, the
powers that be would like
your input on how
to move forward.
Closed-door session in
D.C., week from today.
They look forward
to your thoughts.
They're calling it a
success, this raid.
But I'm not so sure, which is
par for the course these days.
You know when I was little I... I
thought you knew more about everything
than anyone else in the world.
And it's now I see that you don't
know all the answers to the questions.
And sometimes you don't
even know the questions.
I guess that's
part of growing up.
Realizing that your
parents have feet of clay.
Yeah, well, to tell you the
truth, I like you better this way.
Dani, what you've been through,
what I've put you through, must
have been incredible painful.
You can't even imagine, Dad.
No, I can't.
I tend to intellectualize
everything.
I approach everything
from an analytical standpoint,
but you're not my patient,
you're my daughter.
I never really understood
emotionally what it felt to be you.
So, Danielle, I want
you to do your thing.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
I want to know.
I...
God, I don't know what to say.
Then it worked.
Dr. Rosen?
I'm Stanton Parish.
Your daughter's fine. Nothing
to worry about. I came alone.
So, tell me, Doctor,
how does it feel to
be living your dreams?
You've always wanted to be on the
cutting edge, to make your mark in history.
You've achieved that.
By helping you purge Red Flag of
everyone not in lock step with your plans?
You're upset about that.
Now be honest,
secrecy serves us all.
You want to protect your team,
government wouldn't know
what to do if this went public
and for now, I operate
best in the dark.
Obviously not everyone in
Red Flag agrees with you.
Mmm, troublemakers.
You and I, we put
an end to them.
That coldness, that
complete lack of empathy.
It's just what I expected
your downside to be.
So what else? You don't age,
you probably don't even get
sick, I doubt you even sleep.
Hmm, think beyond Alpha.
I have complete
control of my mind.
Perfect brain-body connection.
At the cost of your humanity.
I am humanity, what
humanity will become.
The future belongs to people like
me and certainly we can agree on that.
You can stop trying to manipulate me
into feeling that we share an agenda,
some kind of connection. I'm
every bit as good at that as you.
Oh, but we do have a connection.
What, that we both use people?
But for completely
different ends.
No, we don't share a damn thing.
You advocate bloodshed and war.
War. It's inevitable. In
two years, maybe three.
Nothing that you or
I can do to stop that.
You'll forgive me if I try.
You're wasting
your talents, Lee.
You're so close to
understanding it all.
The answers to the
questions you've been asking
ever since you realized that
your daughter was different.
The biology of Alphas.
The great mystery
of the human brain.
I can get you there.
And in return?
I've got so many plans on the verge
of fruition. You can help with that.
People died because of your
plans. I've helped you enough.
Think about it.
You'll come around.
When I first discovered
the Alpha phenomenon
I was a doctor treating a
group of remarkable patients.
Since then, events have unfolded in
ways that no one could have predicted,
starting with the
emergence of Red Flag.
Here, straight from Klauswerks.
Thanks, Gary.
Hey, and don't forget to shave,
all right? It is Congress after all.
Oh, Rachel!
Red Flag is a radical
Alpha organization,
which is willing to do anything, even
commit murder, to advance its cause.
Cameron, Dani's at my house, will
you look in on her from time to time?
Yeah, I'll keep her safe.
Now the government's
response to their actions
has been understandably
swift and aggressive.
Good luck.
Come here.
Gathering intelligence,
deploying tactical units,
even using my own
covert team of Alphas.
But despite all efforts, the situation
has become increasingly unstable.
Culminating with the
incident at Highland Mills.
Those responsible for the group's
violent ideology are still out there.
Indeed their founder and leader,
Stanton Parish, is still at large.
I understand your
concern, Dr. Rosen,
and we're willing to provide you with
as many tactical teams as you need.
I believe that, uh, Binghamton is
nowhere near capacity. Am I right?
Yes, Binghamton. I
was coming to that.
A clandestine prison hospital
where Alphas are confined
and subjected to experiments
without any respect paid to
their civil rights or their humanity.
Binghamton is not the answer.
Binghamton is part of the problem.
Red Flag and the government's Alpha
program are two sides of the same coin.
They both rely all too frequently
on violence and secrecy.
Abuses that can
only thrive in the dark.
Son of a bitch is actually
going through with this.
Thank you, Dr. Rosen. That's very
interesting. Thank you for your time.
Which is precisely what their leader,
Stanton Parish, wants, darkness.
And by our keeping the
Alpha phenomenon secret,
we are only following
a path, his path,
which I believe can
only lead to a war.
So, what I am advocating,
Senator, is not more money,
or more guns, or
even a bigger prison.
I am calling for light. For
transparency. An end to secrets.
So I say to all of you here
and to all of you watching,
Alphas exist.
They are among us. They
are our friends and our spouses.
They are our sons and daughters.
Our neighbors, our co-workers.
This just got complicated.
What the... Order! Order!
This is what we
have been hiding.
Order! Turn his microphone
off. I don't want this on the record!
This is what we
have been hiding.
He's broadcasting
all over the...
I warned you.
Yes.
Yes, you did.
Sharing this truth may make
things messier, more complicated.
But it will hold both sides
accountable for their actions.
And it will also
prevent this war
that Stanton Parish... Security!
So badly wants. Get
that man out of here!
By sharing this truth, it will
become evident that it's time
for everyone to open their eyes, to
open their minds and to open their...
---
I've got Isaac. He's made
contact. Female. Early 20s.
They're on the move. The
girl seems to be leading.
Gary, can you get me an image?
Uh, yeah, okay. I got her.
See the way she's
moving? She's an Alpha, too.
She's processing her
environment somehow.
Isaac Hale is an
assassin, right?
My guess is she's his tracker.
She finds the target and
our man closes the deal.
I don't get it. Sullivan
said that Red Flag leaders
have been vanishing off the
grid all week. Something's up.
Well, he's our only lead. So keep
an eye on him, but don't engage.
There's a pawn shop.
We can sell it here.
No. No. These
places rip you off.
Baby, you're hurting.
We need the money.
No, come on. Let's go. Let's go.
You have something of mine.
You can piss off!
Don't, Will! Don't!
Don't! Come on!
Don't make me kill you. It makes
me tired and then I get cranky.
He found his target. Where?
They're down the alley!
Left! Go left! Where?
Come on!
Ah! Ah!
Will!
I know you're a couple
of brain-dead junkies.
But for once, be
smart, give it back.
He said piss off.
Your fault. Ah.
Cover's blown.
We were supposed
to be following him.
Ah.
You killed him.
Danielle.
No.
Nina, push her to come with us.
Ah!
Ah.
Rachel, go after Isaac.
It's okay. It's okay.
- Cameron, follow Isaac.
- I have to go after that girl.
What's so special
about the girl?
She's my daughter.
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 knew Rosen had a daughter
and they didn't get along,
but he never told
me she was an Alpha.
She just made you cry,
just came out of nowhere?
When she touched me,
it felt like I'd lost my
best friend. It's like
she can force people to
feel whatever she wants.
She sure as hell didn't
seem too happy to see Rosen.
If my kid ever looked
to me that way...
I lost them.
Damn it. You lost someone?
Yeah. I'm not the one who flew in
there like Jackie Chan and blew our cover.
Hey, I'm not sure if you
noticed, but he was killing people.
Gary, you got anything?
Yeah. Danielle Sofia Rosen. She ran
away from home at 17. She was arrested...
No, look, not about Rosen's
daughter, about Isaac Hale.
No, I lost him when Rachel did.
But don't worry, I'm multi-tasking.
We should circle
the neighborhood.
See if Rachel can track a scent.
Okay. Just don't drive
by that Thai place, okay?
It totally kills my
sense of smell.
Hello, where is everybody?
Who's manning the fort?
It's not a fort, Bill.
It's a bad metaphor.
Forts have ramparts and cannons.
We have desks and carpet.
You're sitting in
the boss' chair?
What, are you charge
now? Where is everybody?
Yeah, Bill, I am in charge
when no one else is here.
What are you doing here anyway?
You're sick. You
should be resting.
Six more days, not
including the weekend.
I'm fine. The doctor said that that
infarction actually normalized me, so...
Yeah, no more overdrive, no
more under-drive, I'm optimal.
Bill. The rest was
only precautionary.
Yeah. Infarction.
No. Come on.
Gary, not now, listen.
Fart. Listen,
we've got to focus.
I'm being immature. You know
we've been trying to figure out
why the Red Flag leadership
has been off the grid, right?
Yeah, it's an
ongoing investigation.
And you're interrupting it.
No, I'm laying at home, right?
Sitting on my ass
and I'm thinking
I may actually have
a possible lead.
You know how that
invisible girl, uh, Griffin,
said that I need to find out who
or what Stanton Parish was, right?
Yeah, well, go and look it
up on your computer, Bill.
It's easy, use a search engine.
Gary, listen to me. I already
tried that. I couldn't find anything.
Don't put your
fingers in my stream.
Okay, listen. Then
I got to thinking,
why did Red Flag try so hard
to erase our MK Ultra files?
What if the secret to Stanton
Parish is on Dr. Rosen's cloud drive?
Bill, you want me to look
through the cloud drive?
Uh, yeah, exactly.
Well, I can't. I'm
already multi-tasking.
No, Gary, you can do it all.
I'm looking for Isaac
and I'm tracking Dani.
Who the hell is Dani?
There's Dani. Dr. Rosen?
Dr. Rosen? Yeah.
Can I have my key? GARY:
Yeah, I got your daughter.
She's at the Baltimore
Hotel. It's a no-star hotel.
There's only one review.
It says, "Don't stay here."
Dani?
Danielle?
Danielle? Are you in there?
Danielle? Dani, if you're in
there, please open the door.
I thought I was hallucinating.
Oh, you're not,
as far as I can tell.
I don't want you here.
Well, I... I don't want you here.
I want you to come with me.
No.
It's no use, Dad. Dani...
Dani, you're in pain.
Just leave me alone.
I know you're always hurting.
After you use your ability.
I don't care. Will you
please just let me help you?
Oh, what are you going to do?
Give me another therapy session?
Dani, run! Run. Come on.
Get off of me!
Dani!
Dani!
Come on!
Come on!
Two for one.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Nobody had to die. You
could have just given it back.
Dani, will you sit down
for a second, please?
I... I can check your vitals.
Please, Dad, I am not
going to make you cry.
At least not from my ability.
So, what do you want now?
Painkillers again? Or what?
Oh, come on, don't tell me we're
going to have an intervention.
Just trying to help.
Not bad.
So, what is it?
Lamotrigine.
Lamotrigine? That's an
anticonvulsant, among other things.
Yeah, I know. I mean, it's not
what I'm on but it's what works best.
Better than the Ritalin you used to
give me, even better than the trazodone.
Better than the Oxycontin, which
by the way I did take a few hours ago,
just in case you were going to ask
me to give you a urine sample next.
Just to warn you... Okay.
Okay. Fine. So Lamotrigine.
Look, why don't you just
write me a prescription,
put it on your insurance and
I'll be out of your life again.
I don't think so.
I'm sorry about that boy.
Yeah, well, he was hardly
a boy. He was 34 years old.
Dani, I need to know why
that man was chasing you.
Finally, there's
the real question.
His name is Isaac Hale.
He kills people for a living.
He was part of a
group called Red Flag.
Red Flag? What is that,
one of your punk bands?
You know, Dani, there
are no rules that say
you can't tell the truth
every once in a while.
There it is.
That's what I remember,
that disapproving look.
Sorry to interrupt. Lee?
He's all yours.
You have a time,
tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m.
Wait a minute, what exactly
are we talking about here?
We've been monitoring
Red Flag's communications
ever since their leaders
started dropping off the grid. Yes.
We don't know what
they're planning or where
but we have a timeline
now so we are on the clock.
Lee.
Look, Kathy, I don't
think you understand,
the young woman in my office...
Yeah, I know,
she's your daughter.
That's why I'm not questioning why
you killed our best lead, but you did.
And now I need you to set
aside your family business...
Red Flag wanted something
from my daughter so badly
that they were
willing to kill her for it.
If your daughter can help
us with this case, great.
But if not, you're a
therapist, compartmentalize.
I know you're concerned, honey,
but I wouldn't have come to work
if I wasn't feeling better,
right? You know that about me.
Bill. I found... I don't need...
I don't need the pills, babe.
I'm at work. I'm busy, okay?
Bill, come on... Huh.
You're drinking pills.
Bill, come on. I found him.
You asked me to do this.
Babe, I got to go. I'll
go... Yes, I'll take it easy.
Yeah, you found who? Here.
Stanton Parish. He was a who.
And you were right. He
was on the cloud drive.
So he was a scientist
who died in 1974.
Yeah. And he worked for
the government for MK Ultra
and before he died
he wrote this, Bill.
It's a manifesto about Alphas and back
then they weren't even called Alphas.
"Neuro-dominant
humanity represents
"the greatest potential
advancement for civilization
"since man first walked upright,
which is why those who fear change
"will inevitably seek to
eliminate us." He was an Alpha?
Yeah. And he was a good
writer. Anna writes stuff like this.
Stanton Parish is Red
Flag's favorite dead author.
Invisible girl made it sound like
this guy is the key to everything
so there's got to be more, Gary.
Bill, look how much I printed.
No, I know. This is a lot. There's
got to be more. Please keep digging.
Yeah, I don't... I don't
think I like hard work.
Dani, I need you to tell me
the truth about what happened.
We don't have time for games.
Of course we don't
have time for games.
You never had time for games.
Blood tests, psych tests,
EEGs, sure. But games.
Why don't you just stick some
electrodes to my forehead, Dad?
Just for old times' sake.
Tell me how I'm feeling.
That was 15 years ago and...
So I should be over it?
Is that what you're saying?
You're in serious
trouble, Danielle.
You need to calm down, tell me
what happened so I can help you.
So, you want to help?
You know what Will
would do when I was upset?
Bring me flowers.
Get me whatever drug I
needed, even if he had to steal it.
But then again
he loved me, so...
Well, I love you, too.
Okay. You want to know
what Red Flag was after?
These.
I took them from
some guy at a meeting.
Thought they were rubies,
but turns out they're just glass.
Hands up.
Oh, I don't... I don't like...
Ow.
Huh. Anna!
It's good to see you.
You always say that we can't meet
up, but I... I wanted to see you again.
It's good to see you.
It has all your sounds on
there. That's very cool, Anna.
I've missed our conversations.
Yeah. I've missed
them, too. Uh, Doctor...
Oh, yeah, okay.
I wish you were here for another
reason. That quote you sent me, Gary.
Oh, yeah. "Society's acceptance
is a prison disguised as a palace."
Where did you find that?
It's Stanton Parish. Is he
your favorite writer, Anna?
Gary, Stanton Parish is
a very dangerous man.
You shouldn't be asking
questions about him.
Anna, you said "is."
Stanton Parish is dead.
He died 30 years ago.
He's Red Flag's
favorite dead author.
You need to go now, Gary.
Anna, why do I have to go now?
I just got here. Why do I have
to... Anna, don't make me go.
It was difficult for me
to come and see you.
Anna, I had to be sneaky. Ow.
Anna.
Dani, you did the right
thing giving us the necklace.
Thank you. But we should talk.
Will you sit down, please?
The past is past. Okay.
You know, I think you'll find
that I'm a pretty different person
than I was 15 years ago.
Are you?
To me you seem to be
pretty much exactly the same.
Except now you have a whole
team of people to play with.
Don't talk about what you
don't know. Pushing buttons.
You have no idea what's going
on here. Dad, you always say I lie,
but there are
different kinds of lying.
You can tell people
what they want to hear.
You can, uh,
pretend that you care.
And then there's
outright manipulation.
And when have I
ever manipulated you?
"Camel mealie."
Chamomile tea?
Whenever Mom would
get angry at you for
locking yourself in a
room with your lab work,
you would come to me and
say, "Dani, Mommy's sad..."
Please bring her a cup
of "camel mealie" tea.
Right, no, I remember.
But Dani, that's not...
So I would bring her the tea and I would
sit on her lap and I would stroke her arm.
And she'd feel better. Empathic contagion,
right? Isn't that what you call it?
Right, that's right.
Well, that was me. I
was Mommy's little helper.
But, you know, that's not
exactly the way it happened.
That was... That was before
I knew about your ability.
You're right, Dad. You're
always right. Except with the tea,
I did that until Mom
and I moved out.
When I was 12.
You knew what I could
do when I was nine.
Hey, Doc. Doc! Listen...
You okay?
Yeah. It was a mistake
to bring my daughter here.
Listen, we have 12 hours to
figure out what Red Flag is up to.
No, no, listen to me. That's
what we should be working on.
Doc, listen to me. Listen to
me. We haven't cracked it yet,
but Gary and I just found something
that is huge. You need to see it now.
All right.
So, we looked for the name but all
we found was a book by a dead guy.
And then, when I asked Anna
about it she just lied to me.
Gary, you spoke with Anna? I
expressly told you not to do that.
Look, I told him the same thing,
okay? But he's his own man.
Just... Just give him a minute.
Yeah, yeah, give me a minute.
I'm my own man, thanks, Bill.
So, Anna's a good
liar, not like me.
But... But I still caught her because
she said "is" instead of "was."
Stanton Parish isn't a
dead writer. He's alive.
Bill, please. Doc.
So I did another search,
but not by name, by face,
and that's the creepy
part Bill was talking about.
There, he was a scientist in
Russia for their MK Ultra program.
Same face, same man.
So, Stanton Parish
was a double agent.
No, no, no, Dr. Rosen. It's a puzzle,
you have to look at all the pieces.
It's a metaphor.
Just... Okay, okay.
Same face, Stanton Parish.
Stanton Parish.
Stanton Parish.
Wait, this is from
the Civil War.
Yeah, it's old. He was
about 40 years old, right?
Same guy, a hundred years
later when he worked for MK Ultra.
He's an Alpha who doesn't age?
And Anna says
that he's dangerous.
She's scared of him and
Anna's not scared of anyone.
And there's this, he
wrote this. The manifesto.
Bill says it's the
Red Flag playbook.
Wait a minute, an Alpha this powerful
and we knew nothing about him?
That's why they were trying to
erase our files. To keep Parish hidden.
Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss.
I got it. The rubies,
I figured it out.
These may seem like junk, but
this is laboratory-grown silicon.
More densely organized
than anything I have ever seen.
It is the perfect
storage medium.
So I decided to...
play around.
And then in this,
inside the pendant,
I discovered this.
It's a jump drive.
Voilà.
Gary, can you...
Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I'll do it.
There.
Wait a minute, that's encoded data,
right? Gary, isn't that Anna's language?
Yeah, that's what Anna
does. She sends messages.
Like the DOT numbers on the truck they blew
up, the order to assassinate Dr. Rosen...
No, no, she regrets that.
She said that that's regrettable.
We'll argue about that later,
okay? Can you translate this?
Yeah.
All right, those are
GPS coordinates.
Yeah, it leads to Highland
Mills. That's not far from here.
Sixty miles.
It's a map, directions.
No, no, it's...
It's an invitation.
See right here?
There's a time. 7:00 a.m.
Like Sullivan said,
tomorrow morning.
All right, so if that's a time and date
for a meeting, what's that underneath?
That part's sneaky. It's even
sneakier than Anna's code.
So, what'd I steal?
Oh, okay, no, no, no. I've got
it. It's a quote here at the bottom.
It's from the book,
A Call for Change.
It's more than a quote, Gary.
It's a signature from the leader
of Red Flag, Stanton Parish.
He's called this meeting.
We confirmed the intel that
you gave us. Nice work on that.
The target, an old
abandoned brick factory.
We're bringing in tactical
teams, special equipment,
everything we can throw at them.
You're positive this supposed
leader of theirs is going to be there?
Well, he called the meeting.
I suppose he'll be there.
Then Anna's going to be
there, too. And you can't hurt her.
She... She's my friend
and she can't protect herself.
Our first move will be tear
gas and non-lethal weapons.
But let me be clear, these
terrorists will be neutralized.
Yes, Senator?
Gary, maybe you should go home.
No, I'm not going home.
Anna's going to be there and I'm
going be there. I'm part of the team.
Okay, I'll join in with
tactical and do what I can.
And I'll protect Anna if it's possible.
- Yeah.
Doc, you'll stay outside and
coordinate with Rachel and Gary.
I'm going to go in
with Hicks and Nina.
Bill, you can go in,
but only as an agent.
It's too early to put that
kind of stress on your heart.
This is Red Flag versus
us. This is endgame.
I'm in.
Here you go, Doc.
It's time.
Hey.
These guys you're going after,
is it their fault
that Will's dead?
Yes, I believe it is.
Then I hope you get all of them.
Rosy future.
Something someone
once said that I wanted.
And he wasn't wrong.
What would that even look like?
Dani,
you were right,
um, about the tea.
I knew about your
ability and I used it.
I used you to try to save a
marriage that I had already ruined.
I... I don't know what you
expect me to say, Dad.
I don't expect you to say
anything. You don't have to.
I just wanted you to hear it.
No, I'm not coming
home tonight, Mom.
I... I can't tell you, but
my friends need my help.
All of my friends. Yeah,
I love you too, Mom.
Mom, please don't cry.
Listen, Bill's going to
protect me. Come on.
He's my partner.
He's... He's very strong and
one time he pushed me over,
which was better
than taking a bullet.
I said don't cry.
Come on, time to
saddle up, let's go.
Anna's here, two bodyguards.
That makes over 30
Red Flag Alphas inside.
Gary says that's the last car
heading this way, as far as he can tell.
Dr... Dr. Rosen.
Dr. Rosen, you should
let me go and talk to...
You should let me go and talk to Anna,
because I could get them to surrender.
I always get people to do
what I want to do. Gary. Shh.
Because I wear them down.
Yeah, you do that, Gary.
Gary, this is a very
dangerous situation.
If you want to be here, you
have to do exactly as you're told.
Yeah.
You look like you belong here.
Once a Marine...
I thought you hated the Marines.
It's kind of a love-hate.
Look, if anything
happens to me...
Don't say it. It's bad luck.
Still no sign of
Parish? Nothing.
He never showed and neither have
about another dozen Red Flag leaders.
From what I can hear inside
they are not happy about it.
He calls the meeting and he doesn't
show? That doesn't make sense, he should...
It's starting.
What are they saying?
Hiding like this is gonna
make things worse.
You don't get to decide.
- Let her talk.
They're talking
about going public.
Going public?
Tell the world the
truth about Alphas.
Remember, stick with your teams.
Watch you fields of fire and
give the gas time to work.
Agent Sullivan? No one
advances until I give the say so.
Agent Sullivan, Kathy.
Wait, wait, we can't do this.
Put some socks on, Lee,
your feet are getting cold.
No, will you bear with
me just for a moment?
Listen, the day before this
meeting was supposed to happen,
a Red Flag assassin leads
us right to my daughter.
Who is carrying an invitation which my team
decodes just in time for us to be here.
Now what does that
sound like to you?
A set-up. So you think
we're walking into an ambush.
No, I think we are the ambush.
Stanton Parish gathered
these people here,
he tips us off to their location just so
that we'll do exactly what we're doing.
Why would Stanton
Parish betray Red Flag?
According to you,
it's his organization.
Because Rachel has heard
the people inside talking.
They're talking about coming out
of the dark, revealing their secrets.
Going public? Yes.
Well, then it's a good
thing we're here, Lee.
No, Kathy... And I am betting
that's exactly what Stanton
Parish wants you to feel.
You're playing
right into his hands.
You're betting, you
are betting, you think.
A week ago you didn't even
know that Stanton Parish existed.
And now apparently you're in his head.
I don't have time for your theories, Lee.
Do the people in that building
belong to a terrorist organization?
It's not that simple.
Really? Because I think it's a yes or
no question. Are they Red Flag or not?
All right, I'm not saying
that they're all innocent...
Well, good, then you haven't
lost your mind altogether.
Go! TEAM LEADER:
All right, here we go now.
Oh, Rachel. This is a mistake.
This is a big mistake. Oh.
Team one in position.
Team two on the move.
Wearing a mask you can't push
anyone. You should be hanging back.
I'll be okay.
Team two in position.
Ready on your go, command.
Release the gas.
We are federal agents.
Surrender and no one will get hurt.
No, no, no!
No, Dr. Rosen... Gary!
Gary, no! Gary!
Rachel, stay here. Stay here.
Gary!
On the ground, now!
Keep moving!
Anna!
You're like me.
Better.
Gary!
Gary!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Ow! No, no!
Gary! Gary!
Sleep.
Gary! Wait, Gary!
Get out of the way!
Man down! Man down!
Permission to open fire!
Copy that. Return fire is
authorized. Return fire is authorized.
Fire at will! Ah!
Anna! Anna!
Anna!
Anna!
Ah!
Ah!
Anna! Anna!
Anna, Anna, it's okay. Anna?
Come on, I'll help carry you.
Anna, come on.
Anna. Anna.
Anna, come on.
Anna...
Get up, come on! No!
No! No!
No! No! No!
No! No! No!
No! No! He's one
of us! He's one of us.
Anna, Anna...
My God.
Oh, my God.
Anna!
People died.
Anna died. But she
shouldn't be dead.
If... If I had a gas mask I
probably could've saved her.
Gary, you don't know that.
Yeah, well, you don't
know either. Nobody knows.
And Dr. Rosen, he doesn't know.
See, he pretends to know
everything, but he doesn't.
I don't know if I
can keep doing this.
I don't think I'm the only
one who feels that way.
No, she's not.
We don't know what we're doing.
I'm not sure if we ever did.
And right now
there is no "this."
No, Cameron, you're wrong.
This is a team.
And that hasn't changed.
What you've done, you've
done for the right reasons.
Under circumstances that sometimes
were beyond even our control.
You followed your instincts,
you followed your hearts.
You have nothing
to be ashamed of.
We have to stand on that.
What about the fact
that every time we...
Lee?
I'm sorry, excuse me. I need
to talk to you for a minute.
Yeah.
Is this where you explain all
about clouds and silver linings?
Not me.
Hey.
This is still a win, Lee.
A win for who? Us
or Stanton Parish?
If Parish exists, we'll get him.
So you have whatever resources
you need. Money, equipment, it's yours.
You want another Alpha on
your team? Pick one. Pick five.
How would your
daughter like a job?
Can we please not
talk about my daughter?
Fair enough.
Look, I know you're not
able to see it right now,
but the raid on Highland Mills
was a success. It crippled Red Flag.
We caught terrorists, we
stopped this Alpha situation
from being blown wide open.
And that is a huge victory
for you and your team.
I know. Thank you.
And if you want proof, the
powers that be would like
your input on how
to move forward.
Closed-door session in
D.C., week from today.
They look forward
to your thoughts.
They're calling it a
success, this raid.
But I'm not so sure, which is
par for the course these days.
You know when I was little I... I
thought you knew more about everything
than anyone else in the world.
And it's now I see that you don't
know all the answers to the questions.
And sometimes you don't
even know the questions.
I guess that's
part of growing up.
Realizing that your
parents have feet of clay.
Yeah, well, to tell you the
truth, I like you better this way.
Dani, what you've been through,
what I've put you through, must
have been incredible painful.
You can't even imagine, Dad.
No, I can't.
I tend to intellectualize
everything.
I approach everything
from an analytical standpoint,
but you're not my patient,
you're my daughter.
I never really understood
emotionally what it felt to be you.
So, Danielle, I want
you to do your thing.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
I want to know.
I...
God, I don't know what to say.
Then it worked.
Dr. Rosen?
I'm Stanton Parish.
Your daughter's fine. Nothing
to worry about. I came alone.
So, tell me, Doctor,
how does it feel to
be living your dreams?
You've always wanted to be on the
cutting edge, to make your mark in history.
You've achieved that.
By helping you purge Red Flag of
everyone not in lock step with your plans?
You're upset about that.
Now be honest,
secrecy serves us all.
You want to protect your team,
government wouldn't know
what to do if this went public
and for now, I operate
best in the dark.
Obviously not everyone in
Red Flag agrees with you.
Mmm, troublemakers.
You and I, we put
an end to them.
That coldness, that
complete lack of empathy.
It's just what I expected
your downside to be.
So what else? You don't age,
you probably don't even get
sick, I doubt you even sleep.
Hmm, think beyond Alpha.
I have complete
control of my mind.
Perfect brain-body connection.
At the cost of your humanity.
I am humanity, what
humanity will become.
The future belongs to people like
me and certainly we can agree on that.
You can stop trying to manipulate me
into feeling that we share an agenda,
some kind of connection. I'm
every bit as good at that as you.
Oh, but we do have a connection.
What, that we both use people?
But for completely
different ends.
No, we don't share a damn thing.
You advocate bloodshed and war.
War. It's inevitable. In
two years, maybe three.
Nothing that you or
I can do to stop that.
You'll forgive me if I try.
You're wasting
your talents, Lee.
You're so close to
understanding it all.
The answers to the
questions you've been asking
ever since you realized that
your daughter was different.
The biology of Alphas.
The great mystery
of the human brain.
I can get you there.
And in return?
I've got so many plans on the verge
of fruition. You can help with that.
People died because of your
plans. I've helped you enough.
Think about it.
You'll come around.
When I first discovered
the Alpha phenomenon
I was a doctor treating a
group of remarkable patients.
Since then, events have unfolded in
ways that no one could have predicted,
starting with the
emergence of Red Flag.
Here, straight from Klauswerks.
Thanks, Gary.
Hey, and don't forget to shave,
all right? It is Congress after all.
Oh, Rachel!
Red Flag is a radical
Alpha organization,
which is willing to do anything, even
commit murder, to advance its cause.
Cameron, Dani's at my house, will
you look in on her from time to time?
Yeah, I'll keep her safe.
Now the government's
response to their actions
has been understandably
swift and aggressive.
Good luck.
Come here.
Gathering intelligence,
deploying tactical units,
even using my own
covert team of Alphas.
But despite all efforts, the situation
has become increasingly unstable.
Culminating with the
incident at Highland Mills.
Those responsible for the group's
violent ideology are still out there.
Indeed their founder and leader,
Stanton Parish, is still at large.
I understand your
concern, Dr. Rosen,
and we're willing to provide you with
as many tactical teams as you need.
I believe that, uh, Binghamton is
nowhere near capacity. Am I right?
Yes, Binghamton. I
was coming to that.
A clandestine prison hospital
where Alphas are confined
and subjected to experiments
without any respect paid to
their civil rights or their humanity.
Binghamton is not the answer.
Binghamton is part of the problem.
Red Flag and the government's Alpha
program are two sides of the same coin.
They both rely all too frequently
on violence and secrecy.
Abuses that can
only thrive in the dark.
Son of a bitch is actually
going through with this.
Thank you, Dr. Rosen. That's very
interesting. Thank you for your time.
Which is precisely what their leader,
Stanton Parish, wants, darkness.
And by our keeping the
Alpha phenomenon secret,
we are only following
a path, his path,
which I believe can
only lead to a war.
So, what I am advocating,
Senator, is not more money,
or more guns, or
even a bigger prison.
I am calling for light. For
transparency. An end to secrets.
So I say to all of you here
and to all of you watching,
Alphas exist.
They are among us. They
are our friends and our spouses.
They are our sons and daughters.
Our neighbors, our co-workers.
This just got complicated.
What the... Order! Order!
This is what we
have been hiding.
Order! Turn his microphone
off. I don't want this on the record!
This is what we
have been hiding.
He's broadcasting
all over the...
I warned you.
Yes.
Yes, you did.
Sharing this truth may make
things messier, more complicated.
But it will hold both sides
accountable for their actions.
And it will also
prevent this war
that Stanton Parish... Security!
So badly wants. Get
that man out of here!
By sharing this truth, it will
become evident that it's time
for everyone to open their eyes, to
open their minds and to open their...
