Blindspot (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 18 - Senile Lines - full transcript
As the team tries to defend itself against an old rival, a tattoo leads them to a mysterious death at a foster home.
- Shut up!
- Amber!
- Stay away from me, Eli!
- Amber, stop!
- Listen to me!
- You're one of them!
No, I'm not! I'm trying to help you!
Hey, stop it! Stop it, both of you!
You're upsetting the others.
Amber, go to your room.
Hey, no! You stay away
from her, you hear me?
Hi, it's me. It's happening again.
What should I do?
No, it's worse this time.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Amber!
Eli, what happened?!
You ready to go to work?
Is that what we're calling it?
I don't have a job at
the FBI like you do.
I have... babysitters.
Would you give us a second? Thank you.
If you want to stay
here, you have to come in
and see Dr. Sun every morning.
That's part of the deal.
And then I get to hang out
with those guys the rest of the day?
Freedom is something you have to earn.
This is just a small step
before you get to start
your normal life again.
Again?
I was trained as a child soldier,
raised by a psychopath,
and then I had my memory erased.
When did I have a normal life?
Fair point.
Look, we gotta go, okay?
Today, of all days, I can't be late.
- Sure.
- Right.
We're the only ones trying to stop them.
The DOJ seriously thinks
we aided and abetted Sandstorm?
Of course not. They're just using
that as a ticket to depose us.
It's a fishing expedition.
They're just looking for a
scapegoat for the Sandstorm raid.
If this team gets paraded
in front of a Senate subcommittee,
win or lose, that's enough
to disband this task force
and end all of our careers.
- That is not gonna happen.
- How can you be so sure?
Sandstorm is connected
to me. It's my family.
That's not gonna look
so good to outsiders.
Especially when the outsider...
running the depositions
is Matthew Weitz.
Yeah, he's trying to
make a name for himself,
trying to further his career.
I didn't get subpoenaed.
Maybe I could speak to
my friends at the DOJ,
see if they could delay the depositions.
No, don't do that.
That'll make Weitz come after us harder.
Just focus on tracking the
bank account that Roman gave us.
If we find Sandstorm's money,
then we change the game.
Okay. I'll see what I can do.
So, what's the play on Weitz?
The raid was a big loss but
we've got nothing to hide,
so we fight him with the truth.
I just got a hit on another tattoo.
Should we wait until
after the depositions?
No, nothing changes.
We've got a job to do,
so let's go and do it.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
You heard from Reade?
No. He won't return my calls.
Since he quit, I guess
he doesn't have to.
Yeah, that's been ringing all morning.
Oof! You look pretty roughed up.
You get hit by a truck or something?
It doesn't matter. I'm
just happy you're awake.
I'm tired of talking to myself.
My name's Travis. What's your name?
Just mind your own business.
Well...
okay.
A while back, I decoded
a string of numbers
embedded in Jane's hourglass tattoo.
They match a corporate
ID for a 501-C non-profit
called Life Prospect Inc.
Is that some kind of charity foundation?
Yeah, but they barely exist.
The address and phone number
associated with it are defunct
and the money funneled
into the foundation
is obscured by layers upon
layers of shell companies.
There was nothing to
investigate until now.
This is 16-year-old Amber Wallace,
found dead at her
foster home this morning.
What does she have to
do with the non-profit?
Life Prospect bankrolls
the private foster home she lived in.
Wait. So you think my tattoo
is connected to her death?
Sandstorm put this
non-profit on your body
and now a young girl is dead.
It's certainly worth looking into.
What else do we know?
Not much. Police arrived at the scene,
but I've been checking
Amber's social media.
Her posts have grown
increasingly more erratic
over the past week.
"I'd run but the devil
is always watching."
"There is no escape. I
know he's coming for me."
Let's go and take a
look at that crime scene.
There's the smiling
faces I came to see.
It's very lovely to see you again.
Wish we could say the same.
I'm gonna set up in the conference room.
Get ready for depositions in ten.
Where is our tattooed friend?
I'm looking forward to
speaking with her today.
Jane is heading out on
a case and so are we.
You guys have a case.
That's so crazy. I also have a case.
Everybody has to speak with me today
or face immediate suspension.
It's your call.
We'll answer any questions that you have
regarding the raid on
the Sandstorm compound,
but it's gonna have to
wait until we get back.
I can't have you interfering
with us doing our job.
That's fine.
I'll interview Special
Agent Patterson first.
You don't normally take the
lab rat in the field, do you?
I'll send her down.
Tasha, see if they found
anything on her body.
- You with the FBI?
- Yeah.
You're gonna want to see this.
So, where is everyone?
We got a frantic call from a young boy.
Arrived five minutes
later to an empty house.
All six kids missing, no
sign of the foster mom.
- Did you try calling her?
- Tried, but her phone's off.
We're running a trace on it now.
How do six kids and their foster mom
just vanish like ghosts?
Amber said the devil was after her
and now they're gone.
Maybe he was after all of them.
Or maybe he's already found them.
It looks like she's holding her own.
Well, she's handled worse
forms of questioning.
I talked to social services.
No one has any idea
where those missing kids
or their foster mom are,
but I put out missing persons alerts
and got one hit.
17-year old Eli Bello was caught on tape
trying to steal a cell
from a bodega in Yonkers.
When the clerk caught him,
Eli dropped the phone and ran off.
That's a long way from home.
What's he doing up in Yonkers?
He could be running
with the rest of the kids
or he could be the one chasing them.
Does he have a motive to kill the girl?
To throw her out the window?
They looked like good friends to me.
Maybe something changed.
What's the medical examiner saying?
They're backed up as usual.
Wait, what about the charity foundation?
- Any idea who's behind it?
- Not yet.
The techs are looking at
evidence at the foster home now,
trying to trace the
foundation's purchases
to a permanent address.
We need to find Eli.
Maybe he can tell us
what's really going on here.
I'll loop in Patterson as
soon as she's done with Weitz.
I'd like to move on
to your personal life,
Special Agent Patterson.
Would it be fair to
characterize you as...
unlucky in love?
I suppose so.
You suppose so?
There was a Sandstorm mole
working in your team's
midst for over a year.
You had a romantic relationship with him
and you had no idea he was a terrorist.
Yeah, Borden may have...
Nigel Thornton.
Let's use his actual
name for the record.
Nigel Thornton may have fooled us,
but it was because of
my relationship with him
that I was able to discover the truth.
And where did that truth get you?
It certainly didn't prevent the tragedy
that occurred during the
Sandstorm compound raid.
Did the discovery of Nigel's identity
lead to any apprehension
of Sandstorm operatives?
Did it lead to any Intel
regarding the whereabouts
of Sandstorm's leader or anyone?
- Not yet.
- Why is that?
Well, he's dead,
but we're still using
what we know about him
in conjunction with other leads.
Let's talk about those other leads.
It says here that you assisted Sandstorm
in the theft of a microchip.
- Is that correct?
- I didn't assist Sandstorm.
They were gonna get that
chip one way or another.
Our involvement allowed
us to get a peek at it.
- How come just a peek?
- The data upload was compromised.
Compromised by Jane Doe.
It says here that she
aborted the mission
to save her brother, another terrorist.
How many criminals need to undermine you
before you realize that
there is something rotten
inside your team?
I want to bring Roman in
on this missing kids case.
Jane, he's not an FBI agent.
Well, technically, I'm not, either.
I cleared Roman to assist
us with Sandstorm cases,
not tattoo cases.
He feels trapped.
He's out of his cell
but he's still isolated.
This could give him purpose.
Or it could overwhelm him.
He needs to become acclimated
to his new situation.
I think he's ready.
Even if he is, Weitz is out for blood.
Now, today is not a good day
to get Roman to assist
us with this case.
Roman was raised at an orphanage.
He could have useful insights.
I think Jane is right.
Roman had an underlying
loyalty for Shepherd.
If he feels rudderless now,
we could risk a backslide.
Look, this is a chance for us
to show the good that we do,
that his loyalty is in
the right place with us.
All right.
When Roman finishes his
session with Dr. Sun,
we can bring him in,
but we have to keep him
out of Weitz's crosshairs.
- Okay.
- All right.
Sir, I still need your
insurance information.
- I'm not going through my plan.
- Are you sure?
I've said it five
times already! I'm sure!
This place will get its money, okay?
Hey, how long you had it?
Come on, that little outburst there,
shouting in your sleep, leg tremors.
I know the signs.
Same stuff was happening to
me when I came back from Iraq.
- You a vet too?
- No.
Bad divorce or something?
I'm FBI,
and I don't have PTSD.
Okay.
I don't understand.
Does this tattoo have something
to do with me or Shepherd?
Probably not, but it's
a chance to show everyone
you can be a trusted
member of this team.
So they don't
throw me back in a cage
when this is all over?
Look, it's a big opportunity.
It's important.
How'd it go with Weitz?
He's not just here
about the Sandstorm raid.
He's asking about other
ops, twisting the facts,
trying to make us look reckless.
That won't change a thing, all right?
All of us, we just
keep telling the truth.
- What if that's not enough?
- That's all we've got.
How are we on this case?
Still no sign of the
kids or their foster mom,
but we traced the purchases
made by the foundation for the home.
The transactions were all
linked to a credit card
with a Brooklyn address,
a warehouse destroyed
in a fire ten months ago.
What about Eli Bello?
This is Don Licata, Eli's music teacher.
He lives two blocks away from
the bodega that Eli robbed.
So maybe Eli was up in Yonkers,
trying to reach out
to somebody he knows.
We can't get ahold of Licata,
but he works from home.
Well, I guess we're going to Yonkers.
I want to go to the city morgue,
try to expedite Amber's autopsy.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna have to sit this one out.
I'm next up in Weitz's batting order.
Maybe we can take Roman.
If we do take you out,
your guards have to come.
I understand.
And you will be limited in
what you're allowed to do.
Whatever you need.
All right. Let's move.
It is always great chatting with you,
Special Agent Zapata,
but where is your partner?
No one can seem to
find Special Agent Reade
and serve him his subpoena.
- I don't know.
- Any reason he'd be avoiding us?
Hiding something, maybe?
Or maybe he's taking some time off
after being buried alive
in a terrorist ambush.
Could be, could be.
A lot of agents lost
their lives in that raid.
According to my notes here,
there's some discussion
about whether or not
to abort the mission
once you realized
communications were down.
Now, do you agree with Assistant
Director Weller's decision
to move in anyway?
He didn't give that order.
- Really? Who did?
- Nas Kamal.
Nas Kamal. She's not
even an agent at the FBI.
Why would she be giving
orders for assistant directors?
The Sandstorm operation
is a joint task force.
She was leading the
operation in Weller's absence.
So you're saying that
Assistant Director Weller
was absent...
for the biggest FBI
tragedy in recent memory?
He was lured away by someone claiming
that the mother of his unborn child
needed him at the hospital.
Assistant Director Weller...
still made it in time
to save Nas and Reade.
I'm well aware of his
heroics after the fact,
but why do you think
the same terrorist group
that killed so many other agents
work to keep him out of harm's way?
What makes Assistant Director Weller
so valuable to them?
All right.
I'll go through the front.
You guys cover the back
just in case he runs.
This guy's a music teacher, right?
You really think he's gonna run?
Well, sometimes people surprise you.
You hear that?
Go around the back.
Eli...
we're with the FBI.
We're here to help you, not hurt you.
I just want to ask you some questions
about your foster home.
I didn't kill Amber. They did!
Who's they?
- Hey.
- Hey.
What brings you to paradise?
I need that autopsy on
Amber Wallace right away.
Maybe I could observe and
report the findings to my team.
She's not mine anymore.
Her family requested she transfer
to another jurisdiction.
- Her family?
- Yeah.
Two guys just came by
with the transfer papers.
Left with the body a couple minutes ago.
- Excuse me! Hey!
- Come on, let's go!
Hey! FBI!
Does he remind you of anyone?
You mean, does he remind me of myself?
We're both orphans. Other than that,
I don't see many similarities.
Eli's never killed anyone.
How can you be so sure?
I don't remember much,
but I remember the first
time I took someone's life.
It takes something from you too.
Eli's not scared of himself.
He's scared of something else.
Eli, do you know where your
foster family could be?
Your brothers and sisters.
Your foster mom, Carol.
They could be in danger, so
if you know where they are,
you need to tell us.
How do I know you're
not with those people?
Which people?
Amber meant a lot to you, didn't she?
She was like my sister.
I believe you that
you didn't kill her,
but if you know who did,
we can make sure
they're held responsible,
but we're gonna need your help, Eli.
I-I just...
I can't...
Look, we're getting nowhere with Eli,
so tell me you found something
on the missing kids or their foster mom.
I wish I could, but it's like
they just vanished into thin air.
The music teacher...
any idea why Eli was trying to find him?
He's been vacationing in Rio,
had no idea Eli was
camping out at his place,
and the men who took
Amber's body from the morgue
got it by using
fraudulent transfer papers.
Any idea where they took the body?
They ditched the van
they used off Highway 87,
burned to a crisp, no bodies inside.
This whole thing seems like a cover-up,
but what are they covering?
Eli's our best lead,
but we've got to get him to open up.
That, um... that thing
Eli was playing with
at the house...
- where is it?
- The pitch pipe?
We took it from him in processing.
I think you should give it back to him.
He brought it with him
from the foster home.
It obviously means something to him,
like our coin.
It could establish trust
and get him talking.
- All right. That's a good point.
- Let's get it.
I just finished up with Weitz.
Jane, you're up next.
You ever been in a romantic relationship
with Assistant Director Weller?
How is that relevant
to this investigation?
You're an outlier, Jane.
You were never trained by
the FBI. You're barely vetted.
I'm trying to understand how
you're allowed in the field at all,
but if you two were an item...
No, I've never had a romantic
relationship with Kurt Weller.
I've earned my spot on this team
by proving myself time and time again.
Was one of those times when you had
your brother in your custody
and instead of taking
him directly to the FBI,
you wiped his memory with drugs
and then lost him instead?
It sounds like you already
have an opinion on that.
Were your actions intended to
protect your brother or yourself?
What did your brother know that
you didn't want brought to light?
Look, Roman would have
killed me or died trying
before letting me bring him to the FBI,
so wiping his memory was
the only option I had.
And this call that you made to erase
all the knowledge from
your most valuable asset,
was that made with Assistant
Director Weller's approval?
No. I made it on my own.
Was Assistant Director
Weller upset about that,
that you made a very
personal decision on your own?
Were you reprimanded?
Weller trusts me.
We're on the same page.
If your loyalties are with
your brother or yourself
and not with the FBI or your country,
where does that leave Assistant
Director Weller's loyalties,
since he's on the same page?
Boy, you are a popular guy.
Is that your wife? Girlfriend?
No wife, no girlfriend, not even a dog.
Well, that's too bad.
That would have been cool if
that was your schnauzer calling.
Can you imagine...
a dog dialing a phone?
So, what's wrong with you, Travis?
Kidney, liver.
Who knew all those years
of hard drinking and drugs
would have such consequences?
I'm sorry to hear that.
Two tours in Iraq and a
decade trying to erase it.
The only thing that went
away was the wife and kids.
But you've been ducking
phone calls all day.
What are you trying to erase?
We thought you might want that back.
You know, like I said before, Eli,
we want to find your foster family
and we don't want what
happened to Amber...
to happen to them too,
but we need your help.
You need to talk to us.
The sooner you tell us what you know,
the faster we can make
sure everyone is safe.
I don't know where they are.
I ran after Amber jumped out the window.
So she jumped. Why would she do that?
Carol...
Your foster mom?
What about her?
She gives us these pills every day,
and the medicine was making
our heads all messed up.
Carol said the feelings
would pass, but Amber,
she was getting worse
and worse, and then...
she just jumped.
So, what was this medicine for?
She said we had to
take it to feel better,
like vitamins,
that all the bad feelings
would go away eventually.
Sometimes the doctor would
come by to check on us.
I can't remember his name. It's...
it's too hard to pronounce.
We just called him Dr. S.
If you didn't kill Amber,
then why did you run?
Because I knew no one would believe me.
That's why you went to
your music teacher's house.
You trusted him.
And I thought maybe
if I showed him this...
maybe he could help.
Have Patterson test
that pill, all right?
We need to know what
it's supposed to treat.
Got it. And I'll try
and track this "Dr. S."
Assistant Director
Weller, it's that time.
How would you describe your
relationship with Jane Doe?
- Professional.
- Exclusively?
We go out for beers
after work sometimes.
So, professional and personal. Got it.
How would you describe your relationship
with Jane Doe's mother?
She's the leader of the
terrorist organization
we're trying to stop.
She's my enemy.
"Enemy." That's not a word I would use
for someone who paid for my schooling.
Wouldn't "benefactor" be more apt?
I didn't know about that,
but she's still my enemy.
She took out as many
FBI agents as she could
during that compound raid.
She killed her friend Sean
Clark right in front of you.
Both times, you got to walk away.
Seems like she's still
your benefactor to me,
so what's in it for her?
This is ridiculous.
You really think that
I'm working for Sandstorm?
On the surface, it seems absurd,
but you look at the evidence
and it starts to pile up pretty good.
- Really?
- Shepherd paid for your schooling.
She spared your life.
Your not-so-professional relationship
with her daughter, Jane Doe.
You're trying to make
connections that aren't there,
serving your own personal interests.
I don't need a whole fire.
I just need a little bit of smoke
to bring this in front of Congress,
and what I've got here is
a hell of a lot of smoke,
Assistant Director Weller.
How'd it go with Weitz?
Let's just focus on the case.
All right, the pill Eli gave
us isn't on the market yet.
It's made up of compounds
found in most antidepressants,
but it also has compound combinations
- I've never seen in medications before.
- Like what?
The hallmarks of these meds
are erratic behavior
and suicidal tendencies,
but this drug creates side effects
way more aggressive than normal.
Do you think the foster
mom is getting paid
by the charity foundation
to test this drug?
Why would someone do that?
It would give them an edge on
getting it to the marketplace faster.
They're using these foster kids
to perform illegal drug tests.
That's what the tattoo was pointing at.
And whatever company's behind this
is trying to remove the evidence.
If those kids are still alive,
they're in serious danger.
We should take care of
the rest of them now.
No! This is not what I agreed to!
Do you think that I want to do this?
If we're caught now,
this will all have been for nothing.
I need time to correct for this.
Their sacrifice will allow us
to save millions of others someday.
Can't we just place them
out of state somewhere?
Surely there has to be another way.
If they ever talked, we'd spend
the rest of our lives in prison.
Are you willing to take that risk?
Will they feel anything?
It would be like they're falling asleep.
Maybe I could read to
them when you do it?
That would be nice.
Do whatever you want, Carol,
but the longer we wait,
the riskier it gets.
Someone at the morgue was on to us,
and we still have one
subject in the wind.
We finish the detox first.
Another hour, their
systems will be clean.
Then we proceed with final injections.
Where is that damn remote?
Whoa, what are you doing?
You know...
the nurse said hockey is bad
for my blood pressure, but...
if I watch one more home design show,
I'm gonna start knocking down walls.
Whoa, that's probably not a good idea.
I got it.
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, easy. You all right?
- Sorry.
- It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You okay?
No.
When I first got back
from my deployment,
I tried booze and pills...
to get control of my life again.
Now I can't even get up...
and change the damn channel.
I tell you what,
you've got to figure out the right way
to gain control of your life,
'cause the wrongs ways,
you don't want to see
where that ends up,
believe me.
What's the right way?
You can't keep it inside.
You've got to talk about it,
no matter how much you don't want to.
When I was younger...
there was this coach.
My forensic accountants
were able to trace
the money Roman withdrew
from the Alice Kruger account.
- And?
- And it's laundered...
through a number of blind
trusts and offshore banks,
but we're closing in fast.
If Weitz gets his
way, that won't matter.
The charges he's brought are ludicrous.
Yeah, to us, all right?
But to a Congressional hearing,
my connections to Shepherd
put the entire team at risk.
_
It's Patterson.
Please give me some good news.
Since the analysis of
the medicine came back
with nothing we could identify,
I decided to take a look
at the capsule itself.
How does that help us find the kids?
Only four pharmaceutical companies
carry this specific capsule.
We pulled employee records with
photos and showed them to Eli.
Meet Dr. S.,
the one Eli said was
checking in on them.
Dr. Ronald "Scrizzy"...
"Scurzy"...
Why do I have to say these names first?
Skrzypacz.
I have a Polish uncle.
He's the lead of the research
team at Vanek Pharmaceuticals.
And he also has a
suspiciously high success rate
of getting his medications
through the FDA process.
Because he uses these
kids as the practice test.
- Exactly.
- Where is Dr. Skrzypacz now?
We tracked his cell
to his medical office,
but his assistant
hasn't seen him all day.
So these kids are the only evidence
that these experiments
actually took place.
So how do we find him?
We dangle a loose end.
No, I-I can't.
You're the only proof that we've got
that Dr. S. Was conducting these tests.
Call his office, all right?
Now, he'll ask to meet
you. It won't get that far.
We'll track him using his phone.
We'll find out where he is.
Hopefully, we'll find the other kids.
And Carol, you think she's okay?
I don't know, Eli,
but the other kids,
you can still help them.
Okay.
I'll do it.
I don't remember much
from that time in my life.
No idea what he did or didn't do to me,
but he had a tape with my name on it.
And now you have it.
Yeah.
I can't bring myself to watch it.
You know,
when I came back from my last tour,
all my buddies who died over there,
they kept visiting me in my sleep.
I couldn't figure out...
how to make 'em leave me alone.
What'd you do?
This shrink made me
look at their photos,
photos of what happened to them.
Yeah. When you watch this tape,
whatever's on it becomes real,
but it also becomes contained.
You mind can stop trying
to fill in the blanks.
If you spend your
life running from this,
it's gonna eat you alive.
Eli's phone call worked.
Dr. "Scrazzy," "Scrizzy"...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You get it.
He left a message for Eli.
Eli, it's Dr. S.
It sounds like you
need medical attention.
I can do a checkup, but you
have to tell me where you are.
Call me on the number right away.
We were able to trace the burner phone
he left the voicemail on.
- Where to?
- A warehouse in Queens.
The lease was paid for
by a different 501-C
but it's the same
shell company money maze
as the one on Jane's tattoo.
If the doctor's there, do
you think the kids are too?
Let's hope so.
We're here.
Roman, you're unarmed,
so you have to stay
close to us, understand?
- Okay.
- All right, let's go.
Al, you two cover the back.
Jane, Roman, you've
got the side entrance.
Tasha, you're with me.
No, no! This is not okay!
I never should have let
them talk me into this.
FBI! Drop your weapons!
Put it down!
Stay down.
Stay down. Don't!
- Don't!
- Aah!
- Where are the kids?
- There's a medical suite in the back,
but I think it's too late.
They're alive.
Help! Please help!
FBI! Stop!
I've got him! Get the kids out of here!
It's okay. We're here to help.
I'll kill the power to the machines.
Please let me go.
Come on!
In here, guys. Come on!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Where's Roman?
Roman.
Roman!
Over here.
It's okay. They're safe.
Weller, how are they?
There's no serious injuries,
but there's no telling
what long-term effects
those drugs may have.
What about Eli?
We brought him in to be evaluated.
Tasha's checking on him now.
So, where will they go?
Social services will get them a new home
and make sure they keep 'em together
so they can help each other recover.
- If they can recover.
- Yeah.
Well, at least they'll be together.
- You did great today.
- You did.
Hey, we've got a problem.
- Eli's not in his room.
- What?
Come on.
Eli, what are you doing?
How could you do this to us?
- To Amber?
- It's not what you think.
You got paid to make us sick.
No, no, the medicine
was supposed to help you.
I care for all of you deeply.
No, all you cared about is money.
Eli.
Eli,
put the scissors down.
Amber is dead because of her.
And she's under arrest.
She will pay for what she's
done, I give you my word.
- That's not good enough.
- Eli.
Eli, please, just tell me what you want.
- I want Amber back.
- Eli, don't let what she's done,
ruin the rest of your life.
It already has.
She can't hurt you anymore.
The things that you've
had to go through,
they can make you stronger,
but you have to make the right choices.
You can start by putting
those scissors down.
Eli...
put 'em down.
There you go, there you go.
Drop 'em. Drop 'em.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You're okay.
- You wanted to see us?
- Yeah.
Tasha, I want you to take point
on the Sandstorm operation.
What are you talking about?
What's going on?
The only way that I can stop Weitz
taking the entire team before Congress
is if I take the blame
for everything myself.
- You're just giving up?
- No, I'm not,
but this is the only
play that we've got.
This way, the team can
still take Sandstorm down.
There is no team without you.
Tasha, you'll run things
until Pellington finds my replacement.
You can't carry this by yourself.
We'll fight it together.
Our fight is with Sandstorm
and we can't continue it if Weitz wins,
so this is the only
way that I can protect
the rest of you and the mission,
and this is happening.
It's my call.
Can you please state for the record
that your testimony here
today is fully voluntary,
you're not compelled
to give this testimony
by me or any third party
and that your sworn statement
is the complete and full truth?
Yes. I'm here on my own accord.
Well, let's get started.
I'd like to begin by talking
about Assistant Director Weller.
- Now, as I understand it...
- Let's save us both some time.
- Excuse me?
- It was me.
- What was you?
- All of it.
Any perceived missteps
taken by this task force
in our attempt to bring Sandstorm down,
they're solely my responsibility.
I alone made the
decision to send Jane in
as an undercover operative.
I alone let Nigel
Thornton, aka Robert Borden,
undermine this entire operation,
and I alone made the call
to send FBI agents into
the Sandstorm compound,
which resulted in multiple casualties,
and I alone deserve to
suffer the consequences.
- I know what you're doing.
- Telling the truth?
Taking the heat off of everyone else
by jumping in the fire yourself.
Look, you're smarter than this, Matthew.
You know that if you drag this team
in front of a
Congressional subcommittee,
you'll have a fight on your hands.
Yeah, a fight I can win.
A fight you might win.
But if Weller brings
Shepherd in tomorrow,
he'll be the hero and
you'll look like a fool.
What I'm offering you is a sure thing,
a guaranteed win.
I can't name a single AUSA
that has brought in a top NSA operative
in front of Congress.
It would be unprecedented.
Or you can continue this witch hunt
against Weller and his team and...
I can promise you
that I will use all my
substantial resources
to find every last piece
of dirt on Matthew Weitz
and pursue a hearing of my own.
So, Mr. Weitz,
your move.
- We need to talk.
- It's too late for that.
I already got myself a bigger fish.
But if you want, we can
go for coffee sometime
or tea or...
Tell you what, you
figure out the beverage
and give me a call, okay?
See you on the Hill, Ms. Kamal.
What have you done?
This was the best way
to protect the team.
I'm not gonna let you
take responsibility
for my mistakes.
Even if you take the blame,
he could still come after everyone else.
I'm not officially connected
to this office or the FBI.
This way, he gets his win and...
the team can continue
to fight Sandstorm.
That is not your call to make.
This is my team.
Yes, and they need you desperately.
Kurt, without you, there's
no hope of figuring out
what Sandstorm is
planning for phase two,
and I've been chasing
them for far too long.
- It's time I passed the torch.
- Don't do this.
It's already done, Kurt.
Now, make sure it's worth it.
Look at you, walking out of here.
Lucky man.
If I was lucky, I wouldn't have
ended up here in the first place.
I was grading on a curve.
You know what? Let me
leave you my number.
Just in case.
Just in case I need an FBI agent?
In case you need somebody to
change the damn channel for you.
Jackass.
Take care of yourself.
I'll try.
Hey...
if and when...
you decide to face
those demons of yours,
don't do it alone.
I guess I won't be needing this anymore,
but I thought we could
all do with one of these.
It has been a distinct privilege
to serve with each of you.
The privilege has been all ours.
You sacrificed your
entire career for us.
I lost a battle so
you could win the war.
I'll drink to that.
My people just sent this.
The accounts where Sandstorm
are holding their funds.
You cut them off from their money,
you back them into a corner,
maybe force them to make a mistake.
Or derail their plans altogether.
That is one hell of
a going away present.
I gotta say,
none of us wanted you here...
when this all started,
but now, it's hard to imagine
this place without you.
I never thought that I would be able
to work with a team again,
but I sure am gonna miss this one.
Thank you, to all of you.
Give them hell.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, thanks for coming over.
Thanks for calling me back.
Sure you want to do this?
No, but what I've been
doing isn't working.
I'm tired of pretending like I'm okay.
I need to know what happened to me
so I can move on with my life.
This is it...
the last piece we need for phase two.
Do I want to know why you need all this?
I'm not paying you $20
million to ask questions,
but if I was you,
I'd avoid the Western
Hemisphere for a while.
- Amber!
- Stay away from me, Eli!
- Amber, stop!
- Listen to me!
- You're one of them!
No, I'm not! I'm trying to help you!
Hey, stop it! Stop it, both of you!
You're upsetting the others.
Amber, go to your room.
Hey, no! You stay away
from her, you hear me?
Hi, it's me. It's happening again.
What should I do?
No, it's worse this time.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Amber!
Eli, what happened?!
You ready to go to work?
Is that what we're calling it?
I don't have a job at
the FBI like you do.
I have... babysitters.
Would you give us a second? Thank you.
If you want to stay
here, you have to come in
and see Dr. Sun every morning.
That's part of the deal.
And then I get to hang out
with those guys the rest of the day?
Freedom is something you have to earn.
This is just a small step
before you get to start
your normal life again.
Again?
I was trained as a child soldier,
raised by a psychopath,
and then I had my memory erased.
When did I have a normal life?
Fair point.
Look, we gotta go, okay?
Today, of all days, I can't be late.
- Sure.
- Right.
We're the only ones trying to stop them.
The DOJ seriously thinks
we aided and abetted Sandstorm?
Of course not. They're just using
that as a ticket to depose us.
It's a fishing expedition.
They're just looking for a
scapegoat for the Sandstorm raid.
If this team gets paraded
in front of a Senate subcommittee,
win or lose, that's enough
to disband this task force
and end all of our careers.
- That is not gonna happen.
- How can you be so sure?
Sandstorm is connected
to me. It's my family.
That's not gonna look
so good to outsiders.
Especially when the outsider...
running the depositions
is Matthew Weitz.
Yeah, he's trying to
make a name for himself,
trying to further his career.
I didn't get subpoenaed.
Maybe I could speak to
my friends at the DOJ,
see if they could delay the depositions.
No, don't do that.
That'll make Weitz come after us harder.
Just focus on tracking the
bank account that Roman gave us.
If we find Sandstorm's money,
then we change the game.
Okay. I'll see what I can do.
So, what's the play on Weitz?
The raid was a big loss but
we've got nothing to hide,
so we fight him with the truth.
I just got a hit on another tattoo.
Should we wait until
after the depositions?
No, nothing changes.
We've got a job to do,
so let's go and do it.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
You heard from Reade?
No. He won't return my calls.
Since he quit, I guess
he doesn't have to.
Yeah, that's been ringing all morning.
Oof! You look pretty roughed up.
You get hit by a truck or something?
It doesn't matter. I'm
just happy you're awake.
I'm tired of talking to myself.
My name's Travis. What's your name?
Just mind your own business.
Well...
okay.
A while back, I decoded
a string of numbers
embedded in Jane's hourglass tattoo.
They match a corporate
ID for a 501-C non-profit
called Life Prospect Inc.
Is that some kind of charity foundation?
Yeah, but they barely exist.
The address and phone number
associated with it are defunct
and the money funneled
into the foundation
is obscured by layers upon
layers of shell companies.
There was nothing to
investigate until now.
This is 16-year-old Amber Wallace,
found dead at her
foster home this morning.
What does she have to
do with the non-profit?
Life Prospect bankrolls
the private foster home she lived in.
Wait. So you think my tattoo
is connected to her death?
Sandstorm put this
non-profit on your body
and now a young girl is dead.
It's certainly worth looking into.
What else do we know?
Not much. Police arrived at the scene,
but I've been checking
Amber's social media.
Her posts have grown
increasingly more erratic
over the past week.
"I'd run but the devil
is always watching."
"There is no escape. I
know he's coming for me."
Let's go and take a
look at that crime scene.
There's the smiling
faces I came to see.
It's very lovely to see you again.
Wish we could say the same.
I'm gonna set up in the conference room.
Get ready for depositions in ten.
Where is our tattooed friend?
I'm looking forward to
speaking with her today.
Jane is heading out on
a case and so are we.
You guys have a case.
That's so crazy. I also have a case.
Everybody has to speak with me today
or face immediate suspension.
It's your call.
We'll answer any questions that you have
regarding the raid on
the Sandstorm compound,
but it's gonna have to
wait until we get back.
I can't have you interfering
with us doing our job.
That's fine.
I'll interview Special
Agent Patterson first.
You don't normally take the
lab rat in the field, do you?
I'll send her down.
Tasha, see if they found
anything on her body.
- You with the FBI?
- Yeah.
You're gonna want to see this.
So, where is everyone?
We got a frantic call from a young boy.
Arrived five minutes
later to an empty house.
All six kids missing, no
sign of the foster mom.
- Did you try calling her?
- Tried, but her phone's off.
We're running a trace on it now.
How do six kids and their foster mom
just vanish like ghosts?
Amber said the devil was after her
and now they're gone.
Maybe he was after all of them.
Or maybe he's already found them.
It looks like she's holding her own.
Well, she's handled worse
forms of questioning.
I talked to social services.
No one has any idea
where those missing kids
or their foster mom are,
but I put out missing persons alerts
and got one hit.
17-year old Eli Bello was caught on tape
trying to steal a cell
from a bodega in Yonkers.
When the clerk caught him,
Eli dropped the phone and ran off.
That's a long way from home.
What's he doing up in Yonkers?
He could be running
with the rest of the kids
or he could be the one chasing them.
Does he have a motive to kill the girl?
To throw her out the window?
They looked like good friends to me.
Maybe something changed.
What's the medical examiner saying?
They're backed up as usual.
Wait, what about the charity foundation?
- Any idea who's behind it?
- Not yet.
The techs are looking at
evidence at the foster home now,
trying to trace the
foundation's purchases
to a permanent address.
We need to find Eli.
Maybe he can tell us
what's really going on here.
I'll loop in Patterson as
soon as she's done with Weitz.
I'd like to move on
to your personal life,
Special Agent Patterson.
Would it be fair to
characterize you as...
unlucky in love?
I suppose so.
You suppose so?
There was a Sandstorm mole
working in your team's
midst for over a year.
You had a romantic relationship with him
and you had no idea he was a terrorist.
Yeah, Borden may have...
Nigel Thornton.
Let's use his actual
name for the record.
Nigel Thornton may have fooled us,
but it was because of
my relationship with him
that I was able to discover the truth.
And where did that truth get you?
It certainly didn't prevent the tragedy
that occurred during the
Sandstorm compound raid.
Did the discovery of Nigel's identity
lead to any apprehension
of Sandstorm operatives?
Did it lead to any Intel
regarding the whereabouts
of Sandstorm's leader or anyone?
- Not yet.
- Why is that?
Well, he's dead,
but we're still using
what we know about him
in conjunction with other leads.
Let's talk about those other leads.
It says here that you assisted Sandstorm
in the theft of a microchip.
- Is that correct?
- I didn't assist Sandstorm.
They were gonna get that
chip one way or another.
Our involvement allowed
us to get a peek at it.
- How come just a peek?
- The data upload was compromised.
Compromised by Jane Doe.
It says here that she
aborted the mission
to save her brother, another terrorist.
How many criminals need to undermine you
before you realize that
there is something rotten
inside your team?
I want to bring Roman in
on this missing kids case.
Jane, he's not an FBI agent.
Well, technically, I'm not, either.
I cleared Roman to assist
us with Sandstorm cases,
not tattoo cases.
He feels trapped.
He's out of his cell
but he's still isolated.
This could give him purpose.
Or it could overwhelm him.
He needs to become acclimated
to his new situation.
I think he's ready.
Even if he is, Weitz is out for blood.
Now, today is not a good day
to get Roman to assist
us with this case.
Roman was raised at an orphanage.
He could have useful insights.
I think Jane is right.
Roman had an underlying
loyalty for Shepherd.
If he feels rudderless now,
we could risk a backslide.
Look, this is a chance for us
to show the good that we do,
that his loyalty is in
the right place with us.
All right.
When Roman finishes his
session with Dr. Sun,
we can bring him in,
but we have to keep him
out of Weitz's crosshairs.
- Okay.
- All right.
Sir, I still need your
insurance information.
- I'm not going through my plan.
- Are you sure?
I've said it five
times already! I'm sure!
This place will get its money, okay?
Hey, how long you had it?
Come on, that little outburst there,
shouting in your sleep, leg tremors.
I know the signs.
Same stuff was happening to
me when I came back from Iraq.
- You a vet too?
- No.
Bad divorce or something?
I'm FBI,
and I don't have PTSD.
Okay.
I don't understand.
Does this tattoo have something
to do with me or Shepherd?
Probably not, but it's
a chance to show everyone
you can be a trusted
member of this team.
So they don't
throw me back in a cage
when this is all over?
Look, it's a big opportunity.
It's important.
How'd it go with Weitz?
He's not just here
about the Sandstorm raid.
He's asking about other
ops, twisting the facts,
trying to make us look reckless.
That won't change a thing, all right?
All of us, we just
keep telling the truth.
- What if that's not enough?
- That's all we've got.
How are we on this case?
Still no sign of the
kids or their foster mom,
but we traced the purchases
made by the foundation for the home.
The transactions were all
linked to a credit card
with a Brooklyn address,
a warehouse destroyed
in a fire ten months ago.
What about Eli Bello?
This is Don Licata, Eli's music teacher.
He lives two blocks away from
the bodega that Eli robbed.
So maybe Eli was up in Yonkers,
trying to reach out
to somebody he knows.
We can't get ahold of Licata,
but he works from home.
Well, I guess we're going to Yonkers.
I want to go to the city morgue,
try to expedite Amber's autopsy.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna have to sit this one out.
I'm next up in Weitz's batting order.
Maybe we can take Roman.
If we do take you out,
your guards have to come.
I understand.
And you will be limited in
what you're allowed to do.
Whatever you need.
All right. Let's move.
It is always great chatting with you,
Special Agent Zapata,
but where is your partner?
No one can seem to
find Special Agent Reade
and serve him his subpoena.
- I don't know.
- Any reason he'd be avoiding us?
Hiding something, maybe?
Or maybe he's taking some time off
after being buried alive
in a terrorist ambush.
Could be, could be.
A lot of agents lost
their lives in that raid.
According to my notes here,
there's some discussion
about whether or not
to abort the mission
once you realized
communications were down.
Now, do you agree with Assistant
Director Weller's decision
to move in anyway?
He didn't give that order.
- Really? Who did?
- Nas Kamal.
Nas Kamal. She's not
even an agent at the FBI.
Why would she be giving
orders for assistant directors?
The Sandstorm operation
is a joint task force.
She was leading the
operation in Weller's absence.
So you're saying that
Assistant Director Weller
was absent...
for the biggest FBI
tragedy in recent memory?
He was lured away by someone claiming
that the mother of his unborn child
needed him at the hospital.
Assistant Director Weller...
still made it in time
to save Nas and Reade.
I'm well aware of his
heroics after the fact,
but why do you think
the same terrorist group
that killed so many other agents
work to keep him out of harm's way?
What makes Assistant Director Weller
so valuable to them?
All right.
I'll go through the front.
You guys cover the back
just in case he runs.
This guy's a music teacher, right?
You really think he's gonna run?
Well, sometimes people surprise you.
You hear that?
Go around the back.
Eli...
we're with the FBI.
We're here to help you, not hurt you.
I just want to ask you some questions
about your foster home.
I didn't kill Amber. They did!
Who's they?
- Hey.
- Hey.
What brings you to paradise?
I need that autopsy on
Amber Wallace right away.
Maybe I could observe and
report the findings to my team.
She's not mine anymore.
Her family requested she transfer
to another jurisdiction.
- Her family?
- Yeah.
Two guys just came by
with the transfer papers.
Left with the body a couple minutes ago.
- Excuse me! Hey!
- Come on, let's go!
Hey! FBI!
Does he remind you of anyone?
You mean, does he remind me of myself?
We're both orphans. Other than that,
I don't see many similarities.
Eli's never killed anyone.
How can you be so sure?
I don't remember much,
but I remember the first
time I took someone's life.
It takes something from you too.
Eli's not scared of himself.
He's scared of something else.
Eli, do you know where your
foster family could be?
Your brothers and sisters.
Your foster mom, Carol.
They could be in danger, so
if you know where they are,
you need to tell us.
How do I know you're
not with those people?
Which people?
Amber meant a lot to you, didn't she?
She was like my sister.
I believe you that
you didn't kill her,
but if you know who did,
we can make sure
they're held responsible,
but we're gonna need your help, Eli.
I-I just...
I can't...
Look, we're getting nowhere with Eli,
so tell me you found something
on the missing kids or their foster mom.
I wish I could, but it's like
they just vanished into thin air.
The music teacher...
any idea why Eli was trying to find him?
He's been vacationing in Rio,
had no idea Eli was
camping out at his place,
and the men who took
Amber's body from the morgue
got it by using
fraudulent transfer papers.
Any idea where they took the body?
They ditched the van
they used off Highway 87,
burned to a crisp, no bodies inside.
This whole thing seems like a cover-up,
but what are they covering?
Eli's our best lead,
but we've got to get him to open up.
That, um... that thing
Eli was playing with
at the house...
- where is it?
- The pitch pipe?
We took it from him in processing.
I think you should give it back to him.
He brought it with him
from the foster home.
It obviously means something to him,
like our coin.
It could establish trust
and get him talking.
- All right. That's a good point.
- Let's get it.
I just finished up with Weitz.
Jane, you're up next.
You ever been in a romantic relationship
with Assistant Director Weller?
How is that relevant
to this investigation?
You're an outlier, Jane.
You were never trained by
the FBI. You're barely vetted.
I'm trying to understand how
you're allowed in the field at all,
but if you two were an item...
No, I've never had a romantic
relationship with Kurt Weller.
I've earned my spot on this team
by proving myself time and time again.
Was one of those times when you had
your brother in your custody
and instead of taking
him directly to the FBI,
you wiped his memory with drugs
and then lost him instead?
It sounds like you already
have an opinion on that.
Were your actions intended to
protect your brother or yourself?
What did your brother know that
you didn't want brought to light?
Look, Roman would have
killed me or died trying
before letting me bring him to the FBI,
so wiping his memory was
the only option I had.
And this call that you made to erase
all the knowledge from
your most valuable asset,
was that made with Assistant
Director Weller's approval?
No. I made it on my own.
Was Assistant Director
Weller upset about that,
that you made a very
personal decision on your own?
Were you reprimanded?
Weller trusts me.
We're on the same page.
If your loyalties are with
your brother or yourself
and not with the FBI or your country,
where does that leave Assistant
Director Weller's loyalties,
since he's on the same page?
Boy, you are a popular guy.
Is that your wife? Girlfriend?
No wife, no girlfriend, not even a dog.
Well, that's too bad.
That would have been cool if
that was your schnauzer calling.
Can you imagine...
a dog dialing a phone?
So, what's wrong with you, Travis?
Kidney, liver.
Who knew all those years
of hard drinking and drugs
would have such consequences?
I'm sorry to hear that.
Two tours in Iraq and a
decade trying to erase it.
The only thing that went
away was the wife and kids.
But you've been ducking
phone calls all day.
What are you trying to erase?
We thought you might want that back.
You know, like I said before, Eli,
we want to find your foster family
and we don't want what
happened to Amber...
to happen to them too,
but we need your help.
You need to talk to us.
The sooner you tell us what you know,
the faster we can make
sure everyone is safe.
I don't know where they are.
I ran after Amber jumped out the window.
So she jumped. Why would she do that?
Carol...
Your foster mom?
What about her?
She gives us these pills every day,
and the medicine was making
our heads all messed up.
Carol said the feelings
would pass, but Amber,
she was getting worse
and worse, and then...
she just jumped.
So, what was this medicine for?
She said we had to
take it to feel better,
like vitamins,
that all the bad feelings
would go away eventually.
Sometimes the doctor would
come by to check on us.
I can't remember his name. It's...
it's too hard to pronounce.
We just called him Dr. S.
If you didn't kill Amber,
then why did you run?
Because I knew no one would believe me.
That's why you went to
your music teacher's house.
You trusted him.
And I thought maybe
if I showed him this...
maybe he could help.
Have Patterson test
that pill, all right?
We need to know what
it's supposed to treat.
Got it. And I'll try
and track this "Dr. S."
Assistant Director
Weller, it's that time.
How would you describe your
relationship with Jane Doe?
- Professional.
- Exclusively?
We go out for beers
after work sometimes.
So, professional and personal. Got it.
How would you describe your relationship
with Jane Doe's mother?
She's the leader of the
terrorist organization
we're trying to stop.
She's my enemy.
"Enemy." That's not a word I would use
for someone who paid for my schooling.
Wouldn't "benefactor" be more apt?
I didn't know about that,
but she's still my enemy.
She took out as many
FBI agents as she could
during that compound raid.
She killed her friend Sean
Clark right in front of you.
Both times, you got to walk away.
Seems like she's still
your benefactor to me,
so what's in it for her?
This is ridiculous.
You really think that
I'm working for Sandstorm?
On the surface, it seems absurd,
but you look at the evidence
and it starts to pile up pretty good.
- Really?
- Shepherd paid for your schooling.
She spared your life.
Your not-so-professional relationship
with her daughter, Jane Doe.
You're trying to make
connections that aren't there,
serving your own personal interests.
I don't need a whole fire.
I just need a little bit of smoke
to bring this in front of Congress,
and what I've got here is
a hell of a lot of smoke,
Assistant Director Weller.
How'd it go with Weitz?
Let's just focus on the case.
All right, the pill Eli gave
us isn't on the market yet.
It's made up of compounds
found in most antidepressants,
but it also has compound combinations
- I've never seen in medications before.
- Like what?
The hallmarks of these meds
are erratic behavior
and suicidal tendencies,
but this drug creates side effects
way more aggressive than normal.
Do you think the foster
mom is getting paid
by the charity foundation
to test this drug?
Why would someone do that?
It would give them an edge on
getting it to the marketplace faster.
They're using these foster kids
to perform illegal drug tests.
That's what the tattoo was pointing at.
And whatever company's behind this
is trying to remove the evidence.
If those kids are still alive,
they're in serious danger.
We should take care of
the rest of them now.
No! This is not what I agreed to!
Do you think that I want to do this?
If we're caught now,
this will all have been for nothing.
I need time to correct for this.
Their sacrifice will allow us
to save millions of others someday.
Can't we just place them
out of state somewhere?
Surely there has to be another way.
If they ever talked, we'd spend
the rest of our lives in prison.
Are you willing to take that risk?
Will they feel anything?
It would be like they're falling asleep.
Maybe I could read to
them when you do it?
That would be nice.
Do whatever you want, Carol,
but the longer we wait,
the riskier it gets.
Someone at the morgue was on to us,
and we still have one
subject in the wind.
We finish the detox first.
Another hour, their
systems will be clean.
Then we proceed with final injections.
Where is that damn remote?
Whoa, what are you doing?
You know...
the nurse said hockey is bad
for my blood pressure, but...
if I watch one more home design show,
I'm gonna start knocking down walls.
Whoa, that's probably not a good idea.
I got it.
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, easy. You all right?
- Sorry.
- It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You okay?
No.
When I first got back
from my deployment,
I tried booze and pills...
to get control of my life again.
Now I can't even get up...
and change the damn channel.
I tell you what,
you've got to figure out the right way
to gain control of your life,
'cause the wrongs ways,
you don't want to see
where that ends up,
believe me.
What's the right way?
You can't keep it inside.
You've got to talk about it,
no matter how much you don't want to.
When I was younger...
there was this coach.
My forensic accountants
were able to trace
the money Roman withdrew
from the Alice Kruger account.
- And?
- And it's laundered...
through a number of blind
trusts and offshore banks,
but we're closing in fast.
If Weitz gets his
way, that won't matter.
The charges he's brought are ludicrous.
Yeah, to us, all right?
But to a Congressional hearing,
my connections to Shepherd
put the entire team at risk.
_
It's Patterson.
Please give me some good news.
Since the analysis of
the medicine came back
with nothing we could identify,
I decided to take a look
at the capsule itself.
How does that help us find the kids?
Only four pharmaceutical companies
carry this specific capsule.
We pulled employee records with
photos and showed them to Eli.
Meet Dr. S.,
the one Eli said was
checking in on them.
Dr. Ronald "Scrizzy"...
"Scurzy"...
Why do I have to say these names first?
Skrzypacz.
I have a Polish uncle.
He's the lead of the research
team at Vanek Pharmaceuticals.
And he also has a
suspiciously high success rate
of getting his medications
through the FDA process.
Because he uses these
kids as the practice test.
- Exactly.
- Where is Dr. Skrzypacz now?
We tracked his cell
to his medical office,
but his assistant
hasn't seen him all day.
So these kids are the only evidence
that these experiments
actually took place.
So how do we find him?
We dangle a loose end.
No, I-I can't.
You're the only proof that we've got
that Dr. S. Was conducting these tests.
Call his office, all right?
Now, he'll ask to meet
you. It won't get that far.
We'll track him using his phone.
We'll find out where he is.
Hopefully, we'll find the other kids.
And Carol, you think she's okay?
I don't know, Eli,
but the other kids,
you can still help them.
Okay.
I'll do it.
I don't remember much
from that time in my life.
No idea what he did or didn't do to me,
but he had a tape with my name on it.
And now you have it.
Yeah.
I can't bring myself to watch it.
You know,
when I came back from my last tour,
all my buddies who died over there,
they kept visiting me in my sleep.
I couldn't figure out...
how to make 'em leave me alone.
What'd you do?
This shrink made me
look at their photos,
photos of what happened to them.
Yeah. When you watch this tape,
whatever's on it becomes real,
but it also becomes contained.
You mind can stop trying
to fill in the blanks.
If you spend your
life running from this,
it's gonna eat you alive.
Eli's phone call worked.
Dr. "Scrazzy," "Scrizzy"...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You get it.
He left a message for Eli.
Eli, it's Dr. S.
It sounds like you
need medical attention.
I can do a checkup, but you
have to tell me where you are.
Call me on the number right away.
We were able to trace the burner phone
he left the voicemail on.
- Where to?
- A warehouse in Queens.
The lease was paid for
by a different 501-C
but it's the same
shell company money maze
as the one on Jane's tattoo.
If the doctor's there, do
you think the kids are too?
Let's hope so.
We're here.
Roman, you're unarmed,
so you have to stay
close to us, understand?
- Okay.
- All right, let's go.
Al, you two cover the back.
Jane, Roman, you've
got the side entrance.
Tasha, you're with me.
No, no! This is not okay!
I never should have let
them talk me into this.
FBI! Drop your weapons!
Put it down!
Stay down.
Stay down. Don't!
- Don't!
- Aah!
- Where are the kids?
- There's a medical suite in the back,
but I think it's too late.
They're alive.
Help! Please help!
FBI! Stop!
I've got him! Get the kids out of here!
It's okay. We're here to help.
I'll kill the power to the machines.
Please let me go.
Come on!
In here, guys. Come on!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Where's Roman?
Roman.
Roman!
Over here.
It's okay. They're safe.
Weller, how are they?
There's no serious injuries,
but there's no telling
what long-term effects
those drugs may have.
What about Eli?
We brought him in to be evaluated.
Tasha's checking on him now.
So, where will they go?
Social services will get them a new home
and make sure they keep 'em together
so they can help each other recover.
- If they can recover.
- Yeah.
Well, at least they'll be together.
- You did great today.
- You did.
Hey, we've got a problem.
- Eli's not in his room.
- What?
Come on.
Eli, what are you doing?
How could you do this to us?
- To Amber?
- It's not what you think.
You got paid to make us sick.
No, no, the medicine
was supposed to help you.
I care for all of you deeply.
No, all you cared about is money.
Eli.
Eli,
put the scissors down.
Amber is dead because of her.
And she's under arrest.
She will pay for what she's
done, I give you my word.
- That's not good enough.
- Eli.
Eli, please, just tell me what you want.
- I want Amber back.
- Eli, don't let what she's done,
ruin the rest of your life.
It already has.
She can't hurt you anymore.
The things that you've
had to go through,
they can make you stronger,
but you have to make the right choices.
You can start by putting
those scissors down.
Eli...
put 'em down.
There you go, there you go.
Drop 'em. Drop 'em.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You're okay.
- You wanted to see us?
- Yeah.
Tasha, I want you to take point
on the Sandstorm operation.
What are you talking about?
What's going on?
The only way that I can stop Weitz
taking the entire team before Congress
is if I take the blame
for everything myself.
- You're just giving up?
- No, I'm not,
but this is the only
play that we've got.
This way, the team can
still take Sandstorm down.
There is no team without you.
Tasha, you'll run things
until Pellington finds my replacement.
You can't carry this by yourself.
We'll fight it together.
Our fight is with Sandstorm
and we can't continue it if Weitz wins,
so this is the only
way that I can protect
the rest of you and the mission,
and this is happening.
It's my call.
Can you please state for the record
that your testimony here
today is fully voluntary,
you're not compelled
to give this testimony
by me or any third party
and that your sworn statement
is the complete and full truth?
Yes. I'm here on my own accord.
Well, let's get started.
I'd like to begin by talking
about Assistant Director Weller.
- Now, as I understand it...
- Let's save us both some time.
- Excuse me?
- It was me.
- What was you?
- All of it.
Any perceived missteps
taken by this task force
in our attempt to bring Sandstorm down,
they're solely my responsibility.
I alone made the
decision to send Jane in
as an undercover operative.
I alone let Nigel
Thornton, aka Robert Borden,
undermine this entire operation,
and I alone made the call
to send FBI agents into
the Sandstorm compound,
which resulted in multiple casualties,
and I alone deserve to
suffer the consequences.
- I know what you're doing.
- Telling the truth?
Taking the heat off of everyone else
by jumping in the fire yourself.
Look, you're smarter than this, Matthew.
You know that if you drag this team
in front of a
Congressional subcommittee,
you'll have a fight on your hands.
Yeah, a fight I can win.
A fight you might win.
But if Weller brings
Shepherd in tomorrow,
he'll be the hero and
you'll look like a fool.
What I'm offering you is a sure thing,
a guaranteed win.
I can't name a single AUSA
that has brought in a top NSA operative
in front of Congress.
It would be unprecedented.
Or you can continue this witch hunt
against Weller and his team and...
I can promise you
that I will use all my
substantial resources
to find every last piece
of dirt on Matthew Weitz
and pursue a hearing of my own.
So, Mr. Weitz,
your move.
- We need to talk.
- It's too late for that.
I already got myself a bigger fish.
But if you want, we can
go for coffee sometime
or tea or...
Tell you what, you
figure out the beverage
and give me a call, okay?
See you on the Hill, Ms. Kamal.
What have you done?
This was the best way
to protect the team.
I'm not gonna let you
take responsibility
for my mistakes.
Even if you take the blame,
he could still come after everyone else.
I'm not officially connected
to this office or the FBI.
This way, he gets his win and...
the team can continue
to fight Sandstorm.
That is not your call to make.
This is my team.
Yes, and they need you desperately.
Kurt, without you, there's
no hope of figuring out
what Sandstorm is
planning for phase two,
and I've been chasing
them for far too long.
- It's time I passed the torch.
- Don't do this.
It's already done, Kurt.
Now, make sure it's worth it.
Look at you, walking out of here.
Lucky man.
If I was lucky, I wouldn't have
ended up here in the first place.
I was grading on a curve.
You know what? Let me
leave you my number.
Just in case.
Just in case I need an FBI agent?
In case you need somebody to
change the damn channel for you.
Jackass.
Take care of yourself.
I'll try.
Hey...
if and when...
you decide to face
those demons of yours,
don't do it alone.
I guess I won't be needing this anymore,
but I thought we could
all do with one of these.
It has been a distinct privilege
to serve with each of you.
The privilege has been all ours.
You sacrificed your
entire career for us.
I lost a battle so
you could win the war.
I'll drink to that.
My people just sent this.
The accounts where Sandstorm
are holding their funds.
You cut them off from their money,
you back them into a corner,
maybe force them to make a mistake.
Or derail their plans altogether.
That is one hell of
a going away present.
I gotta say,
none of us wanted you here...
when this all started,
but now, it's hard to imagine
this place without you.
I never thought that I would be able
to work with a team again,
but I sure am gonna miss this one.
Thank you, to all of you.
Give them hell.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, thanks for coming over.
Thanks for calling me back.
Sure you want to do this?
No, but what I've been
doing isn't working.
I'm tired of pretending like I'm okay.
I need to know what happened to me
so I can move on with my life.
This is it...
the last piece we need for phase two.
Do I want to know why you need all this?
I'm not paying you $20
million to ask questions,
but if I was you,
I'd avoid the Western
Hemisphere for a while.
