Previously on Alphas...

What... What are you doing here?

He isn't coming, Dani.

I don't know what you're
talking about. Parish...

Dani, I have to take
you into custody now.

I want you to lay face down.

Easy.

Cameron... You turned her in!

Please understand.

If I'd had any other option,
I would have exercised it.

She's your kid! You're
supposed to protect her.



This isn't the end, Dani.

There's an opportunity here.

Yes, yes. There is a way out.

She comes up with that
brilliant idea herself, Doc?

Or did you head shrink that
into her? That's uncalled for.

Uncalled for?

Calm down! You put your
daughter's head on the block.

And I'm out of order? Relax!

Your father should've never
sent you back to Parish.

Now, we're getting out of here.

No. I didn't come
back here for my father.

Dani... No. Cam...

This is my chance
to do something good.

I'm standing on
top of your bomb.



Dani, you're not
supposed to be there.

I can't let you kill
millions of people.

My sweet Danielle,

fighting for what
she believes in.

Goodbye.

Run! Dani!

Do not die.

The choices can
feel overwhelming.

One always wants
the best for one's child.

Please take your time.

Hicks, you need anything?

No.

You gotta eat, bro. We're
gonna order some food.

Yeah, I'm not hungry. Thanks.

Hicks, you could try screaming.

'Cause, I... You're
angry about Dani

like I'm angry about Anna.

And the... And the
screaming, it's cathartic.

That's why I do
it in the mornings.

Hicks, I could...
I could show...

I could show you how to do it.

Gary, he really needs some time.

Oh, how much time? I don't know.

I've barely slept.

I just keep on
picturing it, Dani dying.

I know.

She was holding my hand.

What?

I felt everything she felt
and how precious it all is

and how fast.

I just still can't believe it.

Me neither.

Hey. How is he?

We're giving him time.

But we don't know how much.

The poor guy never
slept last night.

He was walking around my
house till 3:00 in the morning.

He's strong. He'll be okay.

Anyway, let's, uh... Let's get
organized around this, okay?

Rosen's head isn't in it, so we need
to stay on top of this investigation.

No, Bill, it's the weekend.

Gary, that doesn't
matter anymore.

Before we split up, we need
copies of every document, every file...

You're here. Well,
this is our office.

Yeah, and it's
my apartment, too.

I just figured after
what happened...

You'd all take some time.

And, what, it would be the perfect
time for you to just sneak in here?

Nobody's sneaking. DOD wants all
the intel on the Parish organization.

Oh, you mean Dr. Rosen's intel?

Yes. His daughter's
death is a terrible tragedy.

Now, I'm going to rip
that organization apart

so they don't hurt anybody else.

So, what exactly do you need?
He needs to get out of here.

We need everything.

Starting in Dr. Rosen's office.

Cley, come on. This isn't right.

Rosen doesn't trust him. Right.

He wouldn't let him go
through his stuff like that.

Guys, listen. I don't agree
with this either, okay?

I don't like this, but obviously
they can help us get to Parish.

So, let's give them
what they need,

but keep an eye
on them. All right?

Let's get to work.

Gary? We can use your help.

Agent Bell.

Okay, Agent Bell.

Can you download all the
digital files from the investigation?

Download?

That's a waste of my ability.

Hey, man, my guys can do it,

but it would take them hours.
You can do it in 10 minutes.

Ten minutes? I can
do it quicker than that.

Great. So, will you?

Oh, no. It's lunch.
I get pizza today.

So, I'll do it after. Maybe.

Cley wanted an inventory on all the
physical evidence we've collected on Parish.

Add it to the pile.

Thanks.

Can I help?

It's okay. We're almost done.

I hate that we have to do this.

Then maybe you
should just go home.

It's a beautiful day. You
don't want to waste it.

Okay.

Hey. Hey.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was looking for you.

I wanted to see if you're okay.

I know you're not okay.

It's just a...

Crappy day, huh?

Thank you.

I can't tell you how
good it is to see you.

Want to get some
coffee or something?

Take me home.

My parents are in New
Jersey, at my uncle's.

Oh. Um...

Yeah. Okay.

Is Dr. Rosen on the fifth floor?

I need to see him. Oh.

Oh, no. No. He's
not that kind of doctor.

No, you don't understand.

He has to help me.

Do you know him?

Yeah, he's my boss. But
he's not here right now.

You work at the place
that helps Alphas?

You're not supposed
to know about us.

You should... You should go away

and then come back another time.

No, I can't. I can't
come back, okay?

Here, take him. No.

Take him! No, I don't...

No, no, no. Please.
He's special.

Okay, okay, but I'm
not gonna take him!

Hey!

Hey, don't, no! Uh, oh, oh.

I can't take it!
Where are you going?

Oh. Oh.

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

Hey. We're gathering all
our information on Parish,

just to get everyone
up to speed.

Do you mind?

Can I get you anything?

No, thanks.

You sure? Oh, geez.
Between you and Harken...

We're all here for you.

Whatever you need.

Your download's done.

Nina, wait.

There is something
I want you to do.

Push me.

Make me forget.

I can't do this.

I can't be like this.

So push me and
then I'll forget her.

Cam, I can't do that.

No, you mean you won't.

I know how you feel...

No, you don't!

I know how much she loved you.

Just go.

Is that a baby? What the hell...

Gary!

Gary, whose baby is that?

Uh, oh. I don't know.

Some lady gave
him to me downstairs,

told me to take care of him.

I already looked up how.

A lady? What... What lady?

I don't know. She
didn't tell me her name.

She didn't tell me
his name either.

But I think he looks like
a Kyle or a Benjamin.

Gary, what... What
are you talking about?

Talking about what just
happened to me, Bill, downstairs.

I have to use a "steady
rhythmic soothing motion."

Look, look, look.
Look, look, look.

Look, look, look.

Look, Bill. It works.

Look, look, look.

I'm sorry, sir. No
entry. I understand.

Thank you, sir. You know, Homeland
Security's already searched the place.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I...

I want to make sure they
haven't missed anything.

Here you go, sir. Thank you.

Please state your
name for the record.

Lee Rosen.

Lee, thank you
for coming in today.

On behalf of our
entire department,

please accept our condolences.

Thank you.

I know this is a
difficult time for you,

but we find that recollections
are most accurate

within 24 hours after an event.

I understand.

We are here to review
the course of events

that culminated in the act of domestic
terrorism in Weehawken, New Jersey,

and resulted in a number of
casualties, including the death

of government informant
Danielle Sara Rosen.

Dr. Rosen, for the record,

who do you hold responsible
for Danielle's death?

Excuse me?

Who do you hold responsible
for the death of your daughter?

Are you all right?

Yeah. Okay.

I made this. I
heated it up, okay,

and I tried it. It's gross.

Gary, I need you to track her.

Gary, I need you to do it now.

Yeah, Bill, I already
did. I did that once.

She goes into the alleyway,

and then you can't
see her anymore.

So there's no
way to contact her.

Gary, listen, I need
you to do a face grab...

Bill, I know what
you need me to do.

But I can't, I only
have two hands.

I'm trying to give Benjamin
or Kyle his food here.

Gary. Okay, I'll look for her.

Thank you.

Are you sure she said
she can't come back?

Yeah, and that he's very special
and that he should be here.

That's why she brought him here,

because he must be an Alpha.

I wonder what his ability is.

He's probably gonna
fly off somewhere.

No, Bill. Come on.

Even Alpha babies can't fly.

Can you... Can you fly?

Can you fly? I'm kidding.
I'm joking with you.

What is this, Daddy Day Care?

No. I'm not his daddy.

Agent Bell, you get
those downloads for me?

No, because I have to feed him

and then I have to burp him.

And then I'll probably
have to clean up after him.

Status on Parish?

The status is
we're all over this.

Oh, so you're
looking for him, huh?

Hell, yeah. Probably
not gonna find him here.

Hicks, you know how long it takes to
get 19 federal agencies up and moving?

We're bringing in the big guns,

but it takes some time
to get the big guns rolling.

Rosen warned you
about Parish a year ago.

And then he almost
killed millions of people

and that's what it finally takes

to light a fire under
the government's ass.

And you think you're gonna come
here and start giving us orders?

No way Rosen's
gonna take this! Cam!

Rosen invited us.

He reached out to me.

What?

He told me I had free
access to all the intel.

The investigation is not
gonna be run by this team.

Rosen agreed to that.

Son of a bitch.

Hicks! Wait, Cley, what
are you talking about?

Okay, yeah. I found her.
Someone tagged a photo.

Somewhere tropical.

Yeah, we're gonna
need a name, Gary.

Bill, come on. Your
hands are too big. Don't.

- Don't. Get out of there.
- All right, all right.

Yeah, Magda Ryan.

It's somewhere sunny, Bill,
like Bermuda or Bahamas.

We got a name.

We also have the parents.
They're waiting outside.

They're here?
All right, all right.

Oh, thank God!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Mr. and Mrs...

Uh, Kessler. I'm
Brian, this is Jane.

And that's Adam, our son.

He doesn't look like an Adam.

- Thank you for looking after him.
- One second, please.

We need to work this thing out.

What do you mean
"work this thing out"?

Jane Kessler.

And, uh, Brian Kessler.

We came as soon as
we knew Magda took him.

Is that this woman here?

Yes, that's her.
She is so fired.

I know we have to, but
she's been so good with him.

She took him without our
permission, then she abandoned him.

She thought she was helping.

You believe this? All right,
why did she bring him here?

She watched that video of
the doctor talking about Alphas.

Lee Rosen. You know the one where
he's in front of the Senate committee?

Yes, I am aware.

She was obsessed with the idea
that Adam was one of those people.

One of "those people"?

Alphas.

She kept on pressuring us to
get Dr. Rosen to examine him.

How did you find us?

We found this
address in her room.

What exactly is
this place anyway?

We're government consultants.

We don't want to get her in
trouble. We just want our son.

Okay.

That was, um...

Good.

It was very good.

Yeah, that was great. Yeah.

Thank you for coming over.

I felt a bit alone.

So, I appreciate it.

You're welcome.

I mean, not... Oh.

Yeah, I...

Um, do you feel
like some dinner?

Sure.

Um...

You first.

Right. Of course.

After Danielle's arrest,

she was returned to, uh...

To Stanton Parish
as a covert operative

for the Department of Defense.

Her assignment was to provide
intelligence for you, for your department,

uh, in exchange for a
pardon of her crimes.

Then you were in
support of that agreement?

Yes, I was.

When Danielle returned to the Parish
organization as a covert operative,

she was confident that he
would not question her loyalty.

She'd been a disciple
of his, so to speak.

Yes, so to speak.

Dr. Rosen, in your opinion,

how does a man
like Stanton Parish

attract so many followers?

What did your
daughter see in him?

Stanton Parish is a
master manipulator.

Uh, he's, quite
frankly, a sociopath

with some very
charismatic personality.

He preys upon people, who, uh...

Who, for whatever
reason, are looking for

a purpose.

In their life, and a
sense of belonging,

particularly those who feel they
have lost some sort of connection,

uh, with their
friends or family.

You don't look like an Adam.

I wish that you could
tell me your name.

I'm... I'm Gary Bell.

You should know that,

even though you can't talk,

unless that's
your Alpha ability.

Talking baby. I'm kidding.

I do that.

Oh.

Oh, oh.

Gary?

What?

Let's go. Parents are
here to pick up the kid.

What? No! Time to go.

No, Bill, we don't even
know if they are his parents.

The birth certificates are
legitimate, okay? I looked online.

No, Bill. They can
fake birth certificates.

Don't do this to me today,
Gary. It's probably fake, Bill.

You don't know!
No, no, no, Bill!

No! No! Bill, don't do that.

Gary, what is wrong with you?

Don't do this! Get
out! Gary! Gary!

No! Just get out! Stay out!

Gary, what the hell
is wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong with
me, Bill! They're not taking him!

Gary. Nina?

They're not taking him, Bill.

Gary, come on, now, open
the door. This is so not the time!

Maybe we should just break in.

I don't want to set him off.

I mean, this is
weird, even for Gary.

Gary? We know you're
concerned about the baby,

but you can't keep
him from his parents.

Gary, you can check the IDs.

Yeah, Bill, I already
did check their IDs.

Brian and Jane Kessler.

But they only have
driver's licenses.

Yeah. That's real
suspicious, huh?

Yeah. It is suspicious, Bill,
because that's all they have.

I couldn't find anything else.

There's no bank
accounts. No credit cards.

And there's no pictures
of them with the baby.

Come on, Gary.

The lady gave him to me, so...

And then she told
me to take care of him.

That's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take care of him.

Something is off, really off.

Looks like you've
got a situation.

Yeah. Nothing we can't handle.

Listen, I'm sorry we
imposed on you today.

But we're done here for now.

What does that mean?

Starting tomorrow,
your offices will become

our base of operation.

"Grand Central" for breaking
the Parish organization.

I thought you said we
were off of the investigation?

I said you weren't in charge.

We still need your
help and expertise.

We're all after the
same thing, aren't we?

See you soon.

There's, uh, something
with aliens at 8:00.

Or, no, a chick flick at 9:15.

Obviously, you're
into the aliens.

Obviously, but I'm
willing to sacrifice.

John, you shouldn't
have to sacrifice.

Seriously, I'm
fine with whatever.

John.

You deserve better than fine.

We both do.

Listen.

I think, I don't know... I think
we just built it up too much.

We just need to get past
the first time, that's all.

We do?

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, it wasn't terrible.

Oh, God!

Uh, look, I just...

I mean, to me, it felt
like you were far away.

Are you sorry that...

No, I wanted this.

I wanted to be with you.

I guess I expected it
to be different this time.

What do you mean?

I was 18 my first time.

And, when it happened,

I felt so out of control.

Just so overwhelmed
by the sensations

that I just completely
shut down.

It's just always been like that.

Hey, Rachel, we'll get there.

And you'll feel comfortable.

You kept your shirt on.

You don't want to see my scars.

No.

You're wrong. I do.

My ex, um, she tried
to be there for me

while I was recovering.

She said she
couldn't stomach it.

Is that how she put it?

Kind of hard to forget. Mmm...

Well...

I think you are beautiful.

Papa!

What are you doing home?

Your uncle got on my nerves.

This is John.

Uh...

Sir.

I'll go check on her.

I'm sorry. Wow, thank you.

I didn't...

You left me all alone
out there with your dad.

I'm sorry. MR. PIRZAD: Rachel!

I am leaving the house!

I'm going shopping!

I'm going for two hours!

No. No, it's fine. Because you
know what? I think he liked me.

Shut up.

We only have two hours.

What do you think
you're doing here?

Making sure they haven't
missed anything important.

Taking inventory.

Yeah. Yeah, in a word.

Dani's paintings
and her belongings.

I want to make sure
they're protected.

Wow. You want to
protect her things.

What are you doing
here, Cameron?

Cley's back at our office,
rifling through our stuff!

You're seriously
gonna trust this to him?

Yes. Yes, for now,

I'm letting the experienced
authorities make all the decisions.

No. You're the
experienced authority.

Yeah, and look where
my expertise has led us!

What? You're just gonna hand
this entire thing over to him?

Parish killed Dani!

I know that. You think I
need you to tell me that?

She's my daughter!

She was.

Now look at you,
just sitting there,

not doing anything
to find her killer.

Well, where the hell
do you think I should be?

Gary would never harm your baby.

He's just trying to protect him.

Protect him from what?
That doesn't make any sense.

Gary is autistic.

It's very hard for him to
make connections with people.

But, for some reason, he's
found a connection with Adam.

He's been able to hold
him. He's been very caring.

Which is very unusual
for Gary, believe me.

This is what I'm thinking,

what if your nanny was right?

What if Adam has some sort
of ability that's affecting Gary?

He's an Alpha?

We don't believe in that.

Okay. We'll call
Dr. Rosen... No!

Rosen's able to reach Gary.

He'll be able to see whether
there's something that's affecting him.

Absolutely not. We don't want
that man anywhere near our child.

That's how this
whole thing began.

Fair enough. Why don't you
go take a seat in my office?

Sit tight. We'll get you
and your son out of here.

You got a half hour or
we're calling the police.

All right, we need to split them
up and ask some more questions.

You ready to do your thing?

Oh, yeah.

The funny thing, Mr. Kessler,

is we can't seem to find
any record of you or your wife.

No home records, no loans.

What does that
have to do with this?

Just get my son
out of that room!

I'm afraid I'm not gonna
be able to do that just yet.

What's he talking
to Brian about?

Just relax and
tell me the truth.

This tea is terrible.

And I love your perfume.

Are you the baby's parents?

No.

He doesn't have real parents.

Can I get some cream?

Who's the lady who
brought the baby to Gary?

She took care of
the kid at the lab.

Your friend's in big trouble.

Either knock down that
door or I call the police.

You wanna call the police?

Call them.

Go right ahead.

They do stuff with
genetics or something.

I think they've got
four other babies now.

Who sent you?

Mr. Murphy called and
said, "Get the kid out of here.

"No muss, no fuss.

"But if things get tricky,

"show them who
they're dealing with."

You don't want to call? I will.

Yeah. I'm one of those people.

Bastard.

I don't think so.

Bitch.

Do your thing.

He's holding the kid.

Give him to me.

No. No way!

Have it your way.

Go to sleep.

Bitch.

Yeah, you see? I
told you. I was right.

Yeah, Gary, you were right.

They never listen to me.

Doctor Rosen, if you will.

Please turn your attention to
the final event in Weehawken.

After the detonation
of the voltaic grenades,

several electrical
towers were destroyed.

All of the lights in the area
had, uh... Had gone out.

Danielle was in the direct
path of... Of the blast.

Dani.

Um...

Her injuries were quite severe.

Dani? Dani, look
at me. Look at me.

Dani, I love you.

And, uh...

No, no, no.

She expired.

It's my responsibility.

Whatever happens to
Cameron or Dani or anyone,

it's my responsibility.

You shouldn't have
to carry that alone.

Yes, I should.

Lee.

I'm so sorry to have
brought you here.

It's all right, Nina.
Where's Gary?

He's in the lab.

Gary, you have a very high level
of vasopressin in your bloodstream.

Oh, that doesn't sound good.

It's all right, Gary. It's
nothing to worry about.

It's a hormone that, uh, increases
the instinct to protect one's child.

It's typically found in
high levels in new fathers.

I'm not his father. I
only just met him today.

Yes, I know.

I just believe that
Adam here is...

No, Benjamin. Or Kyle.

Well, whatever his name is

has the ability to induce
production of the hormone

in anyone who's nearby,

in close proximity
or in contact with him.

It doesn't necessarily have
to be the birth parent, either.

He can inspire...

Inspire what all babies
need, care and protection.

Hey, Bill.

Good to see you, Doc. You, too.

How'd it go at the laboratory?

Well, they busted everyone.
Of course, no one's talking.

They're still looking
for Magda, though.

Hmm. Are the other
babies all right?

Seem to be.

They placed them all
in secure foster homes.

Oh, I should probably
have a look at them, too.

Gary, this is a
vasopressin antagonist.

It will reduce the concentration
in your bloodstream very quickly.

I have to drink
this? Yes, please.

Uh, come on. ROSEN:
No, just hold your breath.

Oh, it's filthy!

It's not filthy, Gary. It's...

Magda must have
taken that, right?

Unless she felt like this
was the safest place for him.

Yeah. That makes sense.

Gary, you were incredible.

Huh.

You protected him when
we almost gave him away.

Yeah, I was incredible.
I protected him.

Gary, may I? GARY: Oh.

Oh, yeah, you
have to be careful.

Hey, little one.

Hi there. Can you squeeze my finger?
- Sweet little kid.

Hey, yeah. HARKEN:
He had a rough day.

He's doing fine.

He was lucky. He
won't remember it.

Well, hopefully.

He'll learn young to put all
the rough stuff behind him

and move on with life. Right?

- Right, little guy?
- You have a go.

Come here. Right?

Press on his back.

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh.

Whoa!

Better?

I think I figured out
what your Alpha ability is.

But we should keep practicing.

Uh, isn't your dad
gonna be home soon?

I don't care.

What a day.

No whining, Bill. We can only
have one baby in the house.

Are you sure you're
okay with this?

Are you kidding me?

I'm still in shock that you are.

Well, you know,
sometimes life can be rough.

But you just have to grab the
good stuff when it happens, right?

Oh, and everyone thinks
you're such a tough guy.

This is just until we
find a safe place for him.

We have a safe place.

We don't know anything
about this kid, okay?

So we're still gonna have
to take that stuff, you know.

No, I know. I know.

Just look at him, Bill.

He's perfect.

I know you blame me
for all of this, Cameron.

Well, I do, too.

I had her in my arms.

I could've stopped
her, but I let her go.

Whatever you're feeling
right now, we did not kill her.

Someone else did.

He used her and then he killed
her when she got in his way.

Do you know that if Cley catches
Parish, he'll put him in prison?

He doesn't deserve
to go to prison.

No.

No, he doesn't.

I'm gonna need your help.
