Alphas (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 9 - Blind Spot - full transcript

As the Alpha team attempts to interrogate an alpha doctor, who wants to create more alphas, an invisible alpha attempts to abduct him. Dr. Rosen struggles to determine who is the more dangerous.

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. ROSEN: 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! HARKEN: 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! HARKEN:
Gary, get out of there!

It's okay. HARKEN: 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. RACHEL: 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?
