Alphas (2011–2012): Season 2, Episode 2 - The Quick and the Dead - full transcript

On the hunt for a killer with super-speed, our team realizes his search has lead him directly to them, with deadly consequences.

Previously on Alphas...

Gary? ROSEN: Nina,
Gary is in trouble.

And he needs us.

So, you came.

I'm here for Gary.
Not you. Right.

What happened
between the two of you?

I woke up. Yeah, is that what you
call pushing everyone you meet?

You need help.

I need to run the program.

I decide what happens
to the Alphas we locate.

I approve of the assignments
and with no interference.



Gary and I just found
something that is huge.

This is from the Civil War.

There is Stanton Parish
out there somewhere,

planning God knows what.

Let's get to work.

Hello, Doctor Westman.

Jay?

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

What's wrong?

Nothing.



It's just, uh...

Now that your dad's back...

When he asked me
to check in on you,

I'm not sure this is
what he had in mind.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, he did
grow up in the '60s.

Dani, when we tell him,
things are bound to get weird.

And then, of
course, there's Nina.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

No ex-girlfriends
in the bed. Hmm.

I like this.

I don't want it to change.

Mmm.

Well,

then, we don't tell him.

Send the files over.
- All right.

They're gonna want a
pros and cons debrief.

Details, just got 'em.

Good morning, Doctor
Rosen. Uh, good morning.

No, because I told
you! It's my shelf.

No one else is allowed to
use it! Where is my pudding?

That's a rule. No excuses.

- Agent Bell, listen!
- No excuses!

Hey, hey, hey! Come
on! What is going...

Easy, easy, easy, partner.

Gary, please...
Gary, Gary, Gary.

You know better than
to shove people like that.

What happened? They provoked me!

I'll show you, look,
where's my pudding?

Hadn't even expired.
With this crap!

Gary. None of this
is mine. So there!

Gary, maybe he didn't understand

how important your
shelf is to you. You know...

No! No, I shouldn't
have to explain!

My name is on there!

Well, we'll put your
name back, all right?

No, no, it's not all right.

'Cause even if it's
just my pudding,

it's still stealing.

It's stealing, he
should go to jail!

Gary. Okay. Bill, arrest him.

Don't provoke me!
Don't touch him.

All right? Don't touch him.

Dr. Rosen! I'm slamming my door!

Hey! Hey.

Suck up all those little dust
mites yet? Hey, I just cleaned there.

No, you know what,
actually? It's dead skin.

Whose, I have no idea.

The really nasty stuff
was on the phone.

Just breathing through it.

Fake it till you make it.

She in yet?

You know Nina isn't the most prompt person in the world.
- Hmm.

It's gonna be weird, isn't it?

You two working
here together? No.

No. We're, uh, we're cool.

Really?

'Cause your pupils just dilated.

And your heart rate is up.

Good to have you back, Rach.

I love that government
star paperwork.

You know, to be honest,

I did enjoy putting

"mental institution"
under previous address.

I see we have quite
a few new faces here.

Analysts mostly.

Here to support
you and your team.

Yeah, which, loosely translated,
means keeping an eye on me.

You're an indicted felon who
was on a court-ordered psych hold.

I had to call in a lot of
favors to get you out.

Well, let's not pretend it was
an act of benevolence, Nathan.

You need me.

I'm not your enemy, Lee.

If you're gonna accomplish anything,
we're gonna have to do this together.

Fair enough.

Perhaps you can tell
me something about this.

TNK America crash. Uh...

Cargo train exploded
outside of Jersey City.

Yeah, destroying nine
tons of high-sulfur coal,

13 tons of
pressure-treated lumber,

and 30 cars of copper wire and
municipal grade electrical equipment.

Yeah, it set the con-ed
maintenance schedule back

six months.

What's on your mind?

With every loss, there
is often a beneficiary.

I'm just wondering
who benefited from this.

The FBI have any suspects?

It was an accident.

I saw the preliminary
D.O.T. report.

There was no
evidence of a device.

That's exactly how
Stanton Parish operates.

In the shadows.

His signature is often
no signature at all.

Is that what this is about?

Your 200-year-old
Alpha bogeyman?

You advocate bloodshed and war.

Nothing that you or
I can do to stop that.

It's inevitable. You'll
forgive me if I try.

Well, I wish he were, as
you intimate, a delusion.

But he is very real, Nathan,

and, I believe,
extremely dangerous.

So, uh, we got a keyword hit.

NYPD. We have an assault
and possible abduction.

A whole lot of weirdness.

Good to have you back, Lee.

May I see that, please?

Why don't you
just get settled in,

and Hicks and I will take
care of it. No, I'm settled in fine.

May I see that?

He stepped here and here.

And then there.

Whatever. Doc, listen.

Witness statements say that
whoever attacked this guy,

no one actually saw him.
So what's with Gary-vision?

I eat my pudding at 2:30.

But I can't, because
it was stolen.

Gary, please, we need your help.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, I found a blur.

We're looking for
someone blurry.

And, Bill! It's not Gary-vision.

It's electromagnetic perception.

Right.

Here.

How fast is that footage?

It's four frames a second, or
five. They should upgrade, though.

Bill, this guy is moving, uh, almost
ten times normal human speed.

All the while,
dragging a grown man.

He must be burning at
least 10,000 calories an hour.

My pudding had calories.

Now I'm never gonna
get to taste them.

Wait. I found the same blur.

Here, Broadway and 9th.

There. He's crossing the street.

He's not... Dr. Rosen, he's
not using the walk signal.

It's reckless.

That's five blocks
from the kidnapping.

Bill,

let me speak with
Rachel, please.

All right.

Gary...

Hello. Rachel, it's safe to say

we're looking for an Alpha with an
extraordinarily accelerated metabolism,

which means his
body could literally

be eating itself.

Okay. ROSEN: So, uh,

you should be on
alert for an odor.

Something like, um,

bad breath or rotten meat.

So, basically, he
was emitting ketones?

You could have just
said that, Dr. Rosen.

I smell cheese and pasta,

sour wine,

and lilac perfume.

New girlfriend?

I accidentally bought
the wrong soap.

Really? Did you? Yeah.

That's definitely the
wrong soap, Hicks.

It's this way, you guys. Yes.

It's definitely in
here, the scent.

Man, this place
stinks. You smell that?

I don't know, Doc, it
seems like some sort of fish,

uh, processing
plant or something.

You know, I think we
need to call in tactical.

Bill, this is a kidnapping. We do
not have time to wait for a TAC team.

Every second counts.

I've lost the scent.

All I smell is fish.

We got this, Rachel.
Back up. Okay.

Hey, check this out.

Wiped down. Somebody
must have grabbed it.

Look at this. Don't touch that.

Remember, you don't
want to put prints on those.

All right, well, uh...

Plan B, then. Why
don't you do your thing,

and rip this puppy
off. Watch this.

Brains over brawn
works every time.

You okay?

I traced the prints on the
screwdriver to Eli Aquino.

One arrest a couple years
ago for stealing cars in Queens.

Now, this guy was chased for
four blocks by a motorcycle cop.

Was clocked at 45
miles an hour on foot.

Yeah, which brought him
to the attention of the D.O.D.,

who decided to forgo the
constitutional niceties of due process,

and directly sent
him to Building Seven.

He was out as soon as Scipio
and his guys opened the doors.

Yeah, good. That
was a bad place.

Hey, Binghamton sent
Eli's medical records.

They should be in the drop box.

Rachel, I thought you
were taking a break.

I've seen dead bodies before.

No, we talked
about this before...

I believe, Rachel
can decide for herself.

Gary, can you get that drop box?

Yep.

Oh, yes. Just as I suspected.

Eli has an enlarged
suprachiasmatic nucleus.

This is the region of the brain
that controls our circadian rhythms,

and this accounts for
his enhanced speed.

But it comes at
quite a high price.

Gary, would you go
back to the picture of...

Yes, this one.

Now, this is Eli when he
was arrested two years ago.

And there should be
another photo. Yep.

Yes. And this is his high
school yearbook picture.

- Four years ago.
- Four years ago?

That would make him 22.

He looks so much
older than that.

That's because he is, Rachel.

He ages at an
ever-accelerating rate.

It's a condition
similar to progeria,

but it's much more acute.

Okay, so what happened?

I mean, getting older doesn't
turn you into a murderer.

Did this guy have "kill a guy with
a screwdriver" on his bucket list?

No, he doesn't have
a history of violence.

As far as we know, no.

Gary, would you check and see if there have
been any similar crimes since the breakout?

Bill, I think we should bring
Mrs., uh, what's her name?

Already on it. Have them
bringing up the victim's wife.

So I'll see if she's
got a connection to Eli.

In the meantime, Rachel and
Hicks can check out incident reports.

Lot of work to
do, folks. Let's go.

Hey, how's it going?
Miss anything exciting?

Uh...

Uh, no. It's just
the usual craziness.

Glad I slept in.

No! Don't even think about it!

Okay, okay.

Government jerk-ass!
Gary, take it easy. Relax.

No, that's what
he is. A jerk-ass.

It's good. He fears me now.

Oh, hey, Nina. You're
late. We start at 9:00 a.m.

So nice to be back.

Oh, Hicks, I can't find anyone else
who was killed with a screwdriver.

I found some other people who
were killed with wrenches, though.

Yeah, screwdriver's not
the important part, Gary, uh...

Eli's fast.

Speed. You're looking for speed.

Oh, well, why didn't you
tell me that in the first place?

And, Hicks, you need
to respond to your texts.

You've got six texts.

If someone sends you one, then,

you should respond to those
when someone sends you...

Gary, I'll take care of that.

Thanks. He never
answers his texts.

What did you have for breakfast?

You had something
good. It says...

It says, "This
morning was yummy."

Did you have pancakes?
Gary, that stuff is private.

We've talked about that, haven't
we? Oh, it's Dr. Rosen's daughter.

You had pancakes with Dani
Rosen? Gary, I swear to you, listen.

You tell anyone
about this, I will kill you.

No, you wouldn't kill me.
That'd be premeditated homicide.

You'd go to jail.

You'd go to jail.

Oh, what've you got there?

Too much.

What do you think?

What is it? Van Gogh?

That's an amazing print.

Print?

Right.

Nina.

What? Nina... No,
don't start, okay?

It's beautiful. This is very
upsetting. What are you gonna do,

just push whomever shows up
to reclaim this, when they realize...

I like it. It matches the couch.

Nina, your life
is out of control.

It's more than
just the painting.

You know it is.

You also know what you
need to do to reclaim it.

You need to show up here on time,
you have to honor your commitments,

and no pushing unless
absolutely necessary,

or I can't have
you on this team.

All right?

Sorry.

Hi, Nina.

Nice painting.

Uh, I think Bill needs help
interviewing the wife, so...

Sure.

I've never seen him before. I've
already been through this with the police.

All right.

She doesn't know anything.

We need to be sure. Yeah,
are you in charge here?

'Cause I need to go. I have
funeral arrangements to make.

Yes, uh, I understand, ma'am.
We're moving as quickly as we can.

Now, uh, this young lady's gonna
ask you a few questions, all right?

Gently.

Calm down.

What do you know about him?

Nothing. I've never
seen him before.

Like I said, she
doesn't know anything.

Great.

Is there anything
else we should know?

Anything you're hiding?

I had an affair
with Jay's brother.

We never paid taxes
on any of the money

that Jay made at
the clinic in Stamford.

I stole a scarf once
from Bloomingdale's

because I just didn't
want to stand in line...

Okay. Thank, thank
you very much...

I masturbate every day
when Jay goes to work.

Nina.

Thank you.

What?

No, you're not sorry.

You people are always in my way.

Come on, man... I'm trying
to do important work here.

Gary, Gary, are you all right?

No, he made contact with me.

You okay? I don't
like these people.

Well, listen, to tell you
the truth, I don't either,

but we have to work
with them for now,

so just try to be more polite.

Now, maybe you should
just ignore them, all right?

Listen, have you come
up with any similar crimes?

Barely any. Just one so far.

Similar to Doctor Westman's?

Yeah, just like it.
Abduction on 8th and Ellis.

And the people there said
that all they saw was a blur.

But that's the only one I found,
so I'm gonna keep looking.

Well, we'll need to speak
with the investigating officer.

He's not there yet. The
police only just got the call.

It happened eight minutes ago.

What? Eight minutes ago?

Gary, what? Yeah,
it just happened.

Maybe the victim is still alive.

Well, yeah, his number's
listed and he has a service.

Do you want me to ping his cell?

Yes, yes! Immediately, please!

Okay. Bill?

You saw me once a
week for six months.

You expect me to
believe that? Huh?

I saw many patients.

I'm sorry. I don't remember.

Let me tell you something.
You know, it doesn't even matter.

Because you're a dead man.
You're a frickin' dead man.

I'm gonna cut your throat!

Move it!

It's code one!

Hey!

He kept saying that he was a
patient of mine, but I'm telling you,

I have no idea who he is.

Uh, perhaps you will
recognize him now? Hmm?

That kid.

What does he have to do
with this man who attacked me?

It's the same
person, Eli Aquino.

He suffers from
accelerated aging.

Okay, who are you
people, anyways?

And why am I not
speaking to the police here?

Because we are the
ones that saved your ass.

We work with the
police, Doctor Casey.

Now, you're gonna need some protection,
but in order for us to provide you that,

we're gonna need
your cooperation.

Otherwise you're
gonna look like this

if he comes back
looking for you.

That's Jay Westman.

Was Jay Westman.

He worked for the
Yankee Medical Group.

Is that a clinic in Stamford,
Connecticut by any chance?

Yes.

Well, what were you doing there?

We were researching therapies
in pediatric hyperactivity.

Mmm-hmm. I wasn't
in charge of anything,

I just administered the
B.W.E. and that's all.

You administered the
B.W.E.? What is that?

Brainwave entrainment therapy.

Uses light and sound to alter
brain structures. Highly controversial.

As far as I know, that has not
progressed beyond the experimental stage.

Wait, what are we saying? That
he's using kids as guinea pigs?

Listen, all those
parents signed releases.

And we did do some
very significant research.

Yeah, well, your significant
research is coming back to kill you.

Easy now.

Oh, that should
help with the pain.

Thank you.

It's better than morphine, and
you don't need a prescription.

The doctors don't think that
she'll come back for a last goodbye.

Meaning she'll have a few

long, gray, painful weeks.

And then she'll be gone.

That's awful.

No one should have
to bury a grandchild.

I've buried 31.

She's the last.

She was a lovely child.

She only knew me
as a distant cousin.

I'm glad we spent time together.

How's your father?

Now that he's amongst the free?

Anxious.

You could talk to him.

Explain how things could be.

You said you wanted
to reach out to him.

He needs to get
there on his own.

At least part of the way.

And Cameron?

He's good.

He's a nice guy.

Which is kind of a first for me.

Hmm.

I hope that you two
can remain friends.

What? With your father back,

you can't afford to lose
control of your emotions.

You know how you get
when you're involved.

We all make sacrifices.

Ah!

Hey!

This is nice surprise, huh?

Couldn't get through the
day without a little Hicks fix?

That's literally my
best line. Come on.

What's up?

Look, Cam, uh...

I like you... A lot. Yeah.

Um...

And this has been great.

"This is been great?"

Where is this going?

It's like you said, um...

My dad's back now, and
things are too complicated. So...

I think it's probably
best if we just end this.

Now where is this coming from?

Come on.

Come on, we have
a connection, right?

No. No, it's just... We
have a connection...

It's brain chemistry, Cam...

No. Now, Dani, that's
not it. Now, look at me.

Come on, Dani. That's not it.

Look, every guy I've ever been
with has said the same thing, okay?

It's a hyperlimbic
feedback loop.

What you're
feeling, it's not real.

Listen to me. No.
We're not real, okay?

Dani, don't do
this, okay? Sorry.

It's unbelievable what this
guy's been doing to these kids.

Forget the pulling his license.
This guy needs to go to jail.

No. You're right, of course.
But we have to let him go.

What are you talking about?

Bill, it's only a matter of time before
Eli tries to get at Doctor Casey again.

And, uh, when he does,

you and Cameron will be waiting.

You want to use him as bait?

Doc, are you... Do you
know how fast Eli is?

Casey will be dead
and Eli will be gone.

Yeah. And I also know
how fast Cameron can react,

and you, too, when you need to,

and what with the
support Gary is providing,

I am betting on this team.

Doc, there's no team.

Whatever team we
have is not ready.

I think they are ready, Bill.

Why are you
doubting my decision?

Because I've been here for the
last eight months, every day, okay?

And you've been back,
what? Less than a week?

Listen, Bill,

I know what you're
going through.

I went away, and
things fell apart.

And you took
control of the team.

And now I'm back, and it's
causing you a lot of anxiety.

Losing control has never been
something you've been comfortable with.

This is about me losing control,
is that what you're saying?

I'm a control freak?

Bill, you've taken care of things
marvelously since I've been gone.

You and I both know what
happened here is because of your ego.

Excuse me?

You went on national television,

talking about Alphas. Yes.

Without telling us?
Without telling me?

Why did you pull that
stunt? Because I needed to.

No, no. You "needed?" You
needed to hear your name.

You needed to make
some kind of statement,

and we were left to
clean up the mess.

Hell yeah, I have my doubts!

If you truly feel that way,
maybe you should just go.

Yeah.

Wouldn't want to be on
the other end of that thing.

Just tranq darts.

Laying a trap for
Aquino tonight.

Look.

I know you're angry, and...

I get it. No, seriously,
Nina, I'm over it.

Well, I'm not.

I never should have
used my ability on you.

Sometimes it just...

It happens, and...

I didn't even
know I was using it.

And we had something. And...

I ruined it.

It's okay. No, it's not.

I want to make things right.

I want us to try again.

Look, Nina, I'm seeing someone.

What?

Who? Doesn't matter.

No, I want to know. It
doesn't make any difference.

Tell me who she is!

Nina, what's wrong?

Don't pretend you
didn't know, okay?

Because you know everything!

It seems quiet.

You're sure the
entrances are clear, Gary?

Yeah, don't worry.
I'm on my game.

Dr. Casey's building
has really good cameras.

Anything, Hicks?

Sorry, what?

Come on, focus, bro.

Casey's a douche,

but we're supposed
to keep him alive.

Hicks is distracted
by his girl problems.

Ha! I don't have girl problems,

so I have complete focus.

Hmm. You're having
problems with Nina, huh?

No, he had breakfast
with Dani Rosen,

and she said that it was yummy.

But Hicks wouldn't
tell me what they ate.

Is that so? Hmm.

Wait, Hicks, was breakfast
not really breakfast?

Was breakfast sex?

I am not having this
conversation right now.

Hicks, I broke your sex code.

Dani Rosen? With
either one of you.

Nina's not returning
any of my calls.

Dr. Rosen, I've never
seen her this upset.

I don't know what to do.

Well, Rachel, um...

She'll be fine. She's just
working on some things.

I've seen her like
this before, and...

You shouldn't worry about it.

Do you need some help? Uh, no.

No, I'm all right.

Why don't you go home?
You can get some rest.

You know what? I'm
going to go to the stakeout.

Eli's really fast and the guys
could use an extra set of eyes.

You're right, Rachel. Thank you.

Nina...

Eli?

Please. Don't make me hurt you.

I'm not here to
kill you, but I...

I will if you don't
do what I want.

Well, what is it
that you want, Eli?

I just want you to stop this.

Please. Is that why
you killed Dr. Westman?

Because he wouldn't help you?

No, he just... He didn't care.

He pretended like he
didn't remember me.

Like I just... I
didn't... I was nothing.

Like I didn't matter.

I'm not like those doctors, Eli.

I promise you, I do
not see you that way.

I'm 22 years old! Look at me!

It was wrong, what
they did to you.

Eli, I know how
precious time is to you.

I will do everything I
can, as quickly as I can,

to help you, but I
need you to trust me.

Please.

Are you really having sex with Dani?
I mean she's Dr. Rosen's daughter.

Oh, did we not finish talking about
this? Please, somebody, say yes.

No, I don't understand.

Okay, you break up with Nina,

because she used her ability on you,
but then you like it when Dani does?

It's manipulation both ways.

No, it's totally different.

How? HARKEN: Well, you know,

hot steamy sex
is always different.

So that's the difference, huh?

Hot sex? No, it's not...

Listen, it's about a
connection, okay?

Now, Dani says it's her ability,

but I'm telling you,
I never felt this way,

but, please, let it go.

This is wrong. Mind-blowing
sex could never be wrong, ever.

No, this. This is wrong.

Okay, we've been
here for too long.

Eli, he's not patient, right?

He doesn't have time... What, are
you the Eli expert, now? Come on now.

In the office, I felt something.

Bill, I think we're waiting
in the wrong place.

Come on, you two.

Gotta try to stay still, but I'm
just, you know... I'm not good at it.

What does it say?

Uh, Eli, I know this
is difficult for you.

Just... We're getting there.

And I just want you
to know that the MRI

is just one of many tests
that I'm going to have to run.

Oh, God. They ran me through a
million of those things at Stamford.

Do you remember the names of
any of them, or... Of course, I don't.

Any of the equipment they
used? All I know is they kept

putting me through stuff,
and things just got worse.

I just kept getting older and
faster, and older and faster.

Maybe that was their intention.

Who's this dude? I know him.

You know Stanton Parish?

I don't know his name. But I
saw him a few times at the clinic.

Wait, wait. He was a patient?

No, man, he ran the joint.

Why do you have his picture?
Do you work for him or something?

No, no, no. I most
certainly do not work for him.

Eli, what else can
you tell me about him?

How about nothing, all right?

He's not the important
one here. I am.

So let's focus on
me a little bit, okay?

Focus.

Rosen's phone is
going to voicemail.

I'm gonna call Cley.

Dani? DANI: Cam, yeah, it's me.

Look, I'm at the office.

There's a guy here
with my dad. It just...

I don't know. It
doesn't feel right.

Who the hell is
this? It's my daughter.

She just called somebody!
She's screwing the whole thing up!

Listen, Eli. Listen
to me, please.

I promised to
help you, and I will.

You want some answers? I, I
think I know where we can find some.

Just leave my daughter out of
this. She has nothing to do with this.

He took my Dad. I
don't know where.

Gary I need you to ping
Dr. Rosen's phone now.

His phone's at the
office, but it's broke.

But he has the extended
warranty, so that's okay.

I don't care, okay? Do what
you have to do to find him.

Let's go.

Okay, he just went
past the camera at 287.

He's going really fast, and
he's going to get a ticket.

Oh, but there's
road construction.

I want you to watch for
upcoming exits, okay?

Find us an alternate route.

We need to catch up to them.

Dani, don't worry.
We won't lose 'em.

It was here.

The medical clinic was here?

427 Addison. You're
sure about this?

Yankee Medical Group?

Yeah, I remember that church.

Well, I'm sorry, Eli. I'd hoped
we'd find some answers here.

What now? More tests?

Yes, we can do that.

Oh, man. This is so unfair.

I just want things to go
back to the way they were.

I have to be honest with you.
That's not going to be possible.

We may be able to slow down the
process, but it cannot be reversed.

You told him where
we were going?

No, no, I didn't.

No, you did! You never wanted to
help me. You're just like all the rest.

Over there. They're
in the church.

I can slit his throat faster
than you can pull that trigger.

Cameron, no! No one is
killing anyone here today.

I'm gonna die anyway.

Listen to me, Eli.

You could have
years left to live.

Don't throw that away.

You said I could trust you.

And you can.

I know how desperate
you feel right now.

Nobody does.
There's nobody like me.

Eli. HARKEN: Dani, stay back!

Dani. It's okay.

You shouldn't have
followed us here tonight.

I can help.

Oh, my God.

It feels so good to slow down.

Thank you.

Dani!

Who took the shot?

Who took that shot?

He was just a kid.

An investigation is
currently underway.

It's still not clear
who took the shot.

So you guys are saying you
didn't do a chamber check?

An investigation is underway.

Nathan, we have complete
confidence in you and your team.

I'm sure Agent Harken
wasn't trying to imply anything.

I appreciate that.

I know you'll get to
the bottom of this.

But, that said, uh,

I'm sure you can see that my team
is a little out of sync at the moment.

It's entirely my fault.

I take full
responsibility for that,

'cause I really haven't
been able to make them

comfortable with all the
changes around here.

I get it, we're jammed
in here pretty tight.

Yes, we are.

It would be easier if we
had a little more space.

Breathing room, if you will.

Believe me, my people
are saying the same thing.

Well, I'm not surprised.

Um, but, you know,
we may all be in luck.

Bill, was it you who told me

about the third floor
being available for lease?

Yeah, I did. I told you
about the third floor.

Third floor? Yeah,
the entire third floor.

I'll look into it.

Played that one
really well, Doc.

"An investigation is under way?"

You looked like you wanted
to strangle him for that, but...

Bill, I told that young
man that he could trust me.

And... And he was
gunned down, just...

Listen, Bill, um...

What you said earlier,
about my motives, my hubris...

There's probably
a lot of truth in that.

I have let you all down
in some fashion. And...

I hope to make it up to you.

Look, um, I wanted
to be straight with you.

Please.

I want to be with him.

I appreciate your candor.

You deserve to be happy.

As does Mr. Hicks.

Just be careful.

Hey, where's Nina?

Has anyone heard from her?

Hicks hasn't.

But he has heard from Dani.

He calls her "baby,"
which is weird,

because they're the same age.

Gary, I will kill you, okay?

No, I'll kill you first.

I get up at 7:42.

Gary!

What happened last night was...

Was very, very wrong,

on probably every level.

Sheer incompetence
or something worse.

Yeah, it was the
government. They killed him.

That's what they do.
They're jerk-asses.

Dr. Rosen, I told you,
I tried to warn you,

when they stole my pudding.

Well, be that as it may,
Gary, we are going to continue

to work with Mr. Cley,
and his tactical agents,

and his group of analysts.

But with one very
important adjustment.

They will no longer be privy to any
of the inner workings of this office.

They may very well have killed

our first concrete
connection to Stanton Parish.

Wait, are you saying
that Stanton Parish

is connected to Eli's death?

Rachel, I don't know, but
I'm not ruling anything out.

But if he is,

it has some very
serious implications.

Which means that
the people in this room,

and this includes Nina,

are the only people that
you can truly count on.

From this moment on,
you are to consider this

as your only circle of trust.

Sleep well, sweet angel.

Thought I might find you here.

1920 Règle du Jeu.

Hmm, always the
most expensive, right?

I hear you killed another Alpha.

That's not fair.

Yeah, well, a lot of people
like me die around you,

but it's never your fault.

All right, so what's
going on with you, Nina?

Why haven't you
returned our calls?

I'm done.

You're what? I'm done.

So you can tell Rachel that
she can have the Van Gogh.

It's pointless
without the couch.

And consider this
my resignation letter.

Oh, and, um, FYI...

Hicks is nailing your daughter.

Nina, it's important for
you to be among people

you can trust when
you're like this.

Trust? Alone is not good...

Stop talking.

Get this through your head.

It's over.

I'm gone.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm sorry, we're closing.
