Limitless (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 11 - This Is Your Brian on Drugs - full transcript

- BRIAN: Previously on Limitless...
- CASEY: It's a drug, isn't it?

All my guys are trying to figure out
what's up with Brian Finch.

He's wanted for murder and then
he suddenly works for us. He's a genius.

I know. Has to be a drug.
It's the only thing that makes sense.

How do you know about me and Casey?

BRIAN: His cologne, it lingers on you.

Your reaction
when Naz suggested he train me.

- The way he shows up at your...
- Thank you. I get it.

Do you ever think about what it's like,
taking whatever Finch is on?

How could I not? I see the kid
every day. But I'd never do it.

Maybe I think if you took one of those
pills, I don't see how you'd ever stop.



[PHONE CHIMES]

[PHONE RINGS]

WOMAN: R's him.

It's not seven yet. Don't answer.

[KNOCKING]

Sorry to bother you, man,
but it's him again.

I was wondering if you could maybe pick
me up some cat food on your way in?

- You don't even have a cat.
- No.

But I do have a neighbor who is cute
and does have a cat.

And I'm gonna feed him
while she's away at a music festival.

I'm gonna wind up feeding the cat
for five days, aren't I?

He only eats grain-free salmon.
Thanks, pal.

- DOCTOR: It's stress.
- IKE: Seriously?

My hand looks like I have leprosy
and it's stress?



Anxiety can do any number of things
to the human body.

- [SIGHS]
- I can prescribe a cortisone cream.

But have you considered meditation
as a means of coping?

[PHONE RINGS]

[GROANS]

- What is it, Finch?
- Ike!

Listen, I wouldn't be calling, but
I know you live near Mandy's Records.

- I'm at the doctor.
- It was Record Store Day this weekend.

But by the time I was done working, they
were all sold out of Artificial Brain.

Artificial Brain? The name of the album?

That's the name of the band. The name
of the album is Labyrinth Constellation.

You wanna write it down
so you don't forget?

Thank you.

So I don't get it. You're just supposed
to sit there and do nothing?

You're concentrating on the moment.
That's not nothing.

That's the hardest thing,
according to people who meditate.

You gotta find a Zen place
with this gig, man. It's temporary.

See, it's temporary for you.

I mean, they already told you,

you do this for a year,
you got a permanent gig at the CJC.

They didn't say
anything like that to me.

As far as I know, this is permanent.

And I've been having
the craziest dreams.

It's me and a succession of guys
Finch calls Mike.

There's an Asian Mike.
There's a white Mike.

There's even a woman he calls Mike.

Hey, boys. Be right back.

And we spent a year together, right,
Mike, the girl Mike.

And in my mind,
we start to develop a rapport, you know?

Like maybe this is even
gonna become something.

But I've lost track of the fact
that I'm like eight years older than her

and she wants nothing to do
with a Brian Finch lifer.

So the fictional female Mike
can't wait to get away from you?

- Yes.
- Here you go, fellas. Today's dose.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Meditation... might really help you.

Yes! Man, have I told you guys
how much I appreciate you lately?

Cos I sure as heck do.

♪ >A' Oh, yeah

♪ >a' Tighten up on that bass now

♪ Tighten it up

♪ >a' Ha, ha, yeah...

What does he want with a gas mask
and a bunch of PVC pipe anyway?

♪ >A' Oh, yeah

♪ >a' Tighten up on that organ now...

Hey, you don't know
this is a permanent gig.

Just be the best bodyguard you can be
and someone will notice.

It's easy for you to say.
You had the best PT scores at Quantico.

You won the marksmanship award.
Everyone's watching you.

The whole point of this job
is to fade into the woodwork.

How am I supposed to get noticed?

Here you go...

Thank you.

All right. Ah! Thanks, guys.

Oh, my God.

Ike, you should get that looked at.

[COUGHS]

Ugh!

I tried it this morning. Meditating.
Didn't work.

Didn't work? I'm pretty sure that's not
how you're supposed to think about it.

Fine.

If picturing Brian Finch

and imagining all the ways
female Mike can reject me

is how you're supposed to meditate...
then I killed it.

Oh, boy.

You think we'll stay in touch
when this is all over?

Yeah. Of course, yeah. Definitely.

Evelyn? Hello?

He'!-

Oh, damn... Look.

Call Harris. Tell her
the dispensary's been compromised.

We need immediate backup at the
Gerwin-Strauss dispensary in Greenpoint.

FBI. Don't move.
Put your hands where I can see 'em.

IKE: What? No, this is...

[sum CLICKS]

MIKE: Damn safety.

Oh, God.

You stay with me, all right?

Why'd you have to go and do that?

It's gonna be OK, buddy.

It's gonna be OK.

REBECCA". You're gonna go out there,
drink your drink.

No, don't drink your drink.

Go out there, say goodbye
and that's all there is to it.

I'm good.

I was thinking about this weekend.

- You know Nick from my SWAT team?
- Yeah, I know Nick.

Well, every year a few of us go up
to his mountain house up in the Gunks,

and since Nick's married now
and starting a new chapter of his life,

he decided to open up the invite

- to our significant others.
- See...

I know that that would mean
telling them about us,

but these guys,
they're like brothers to me.

And... I think it would be good for us
to get out of the city together.

Unless you had something else in mind.

Well...

Mmm.

Let me think about that.

[PHONE RINGS]

What is it?

We need immediate backup at the
Gremlin-Strauss dispensary in Greenpoint.

And alert SAC Pouran.

- Casey...
- IKE: What? No, this is...

Are you still there? What happened?

- [GUNSHOTS]
- Can you hear me?

If you can hear me,
I'm calling an ambulance, OK?

- What's going on?
- Classified. Have to go.

NAZ: Mike, it was an accident.
These things happen.

- REBECCA: How is he?
- He's still in surgery.

- What happened?
- I forgot to take off the safety.

BRIAN: Mike, it's just a mistake.
And I'm sure Ike's gonna be OK.

He almost died today
because of you and your drug.

Least you could do is call him
by his real name.

It's just that they've been Mike and Ike
for so long...

Go ahead and take that, please.

The dispensary that was raided
belongs to a private pharmaceutical lab

that manufactures and securely stores
our NZT supply.

Well, not that securely.
I mean, that guy knew about it.

There were three of them, actually,
and, no, I don't think they did know.

The shooter's cohorts cleared out
before he discovered the NZT locker.

Seems they were targeting oxycodone.

That makes sense.
It's the highest street value.

Not now that they have
over 6,000 NZT pills.

6,000?

Enough to fetch a pretty penny

and do some serious damage
if it got into the wrong hands.

So we have to find them
before they realize what they have.

Hey. So I searched
social media pics by location

to see if I could find any
by the dispensary this morning,

and it turns out a guy took a selfie
of him and his hedgehog,

don't ask,
right around the time we think our perps

were getting out of what looked like
a gray Ford Fusion.

I could only get a partial plate, but
I did type up a list of possibilities.

Turns out that one matched a car that
was stolen in Michigan two days ago,

a gray Ford Fusion.

You did all this
while I was getting my coffee?

Yeah.

Well, I'll make some calls.

I'll see if anyone at Michigan PD
can help us ID our guys.

That's great.

MAN". Thank you for continuing to hold.

- Hey. Are you busy?
- No, I'm on hold.

Seems like you guys
got everything handled.

- Can you cover for me?
- You just got here.

Yeah. Um...
I have stuff going on at home.

- How is she?
- Been better.

Yes, yeah. Take all the time you need.

Thank you.

So I spoke to Michigan PD...
Wh... What are you doing?

You're doing some string an?

Or a spider web, as Mike called it

right before he told me
to spin the damn thing myself.

Do you think I'm disrespectful?

Maybe Mike could just use a break
from arts and crafts detail.

- Yeah.
- So, Michigan PD.

They said the perps
who stole the Ford had accents.

French, they think, but I'm thinking
because it's Michigan, it's probably...

French Canadian. Quebecois technically.

I called the manager of the gas station
where the car was stolen.

He thinks one of our guys came in a few
minutes earlier looking for Smarties.

- Smarties?
- No? Canadian M&M's.

Oh. Well, OK, so we're on the same page
about the French Canadians.

And I'm a few chapters ahead, actually.

I searched Narcotics files
over the past two years

and I found a Michigan chiropractor
involved in a prescription drug ring.

But he's in jail, so I almost gave up...

After, what, ten minutes?

...when I saw it was a Gerwin-Strauss
employee's testimony that put him there.

And the name of his former cellmate?

Henri Bouchard.

Ex-Quebecois, arrested for robbery,
released four months ago.

I think the chiropractor put Henri
onto the Gerwin-Strauss dispensary.

What about the... spider web?

Henri's likely using the same contacts
to sell the oxy in Battle Creek,

and this map... shows all the highways

and the back roads
you could use to get there.

And this right here
is our best chance of intercepting them.

Now, given the time that Henri
and his amis left the dispensary,

I'm estimating that they'll hit that
point in about seven hours from now.

- I'll go fill in Naz.
- Oh, I already did that, actually.

And she wants to fly you there
with someone from SWAT.

So I casually suggested a particular
someone. You can thank me later.

Though I now see from your face
I've made a terrible mistake.

What face?

CASEY: It turns out Nick's wife
can't make it this weekend.

She's gotta work or something.
So he said we could have the master.

Wait. What?

I never agreed to go.

And more importantly... how were you
able to have this conversation

without telling him we were dating?

I told you, Nick's like a brother to me.
He would've figured it out anyway.

[SIGHS]

Just like I figured out
why we're really here.

No matter how much oxy those guys stole,
no way the CJC would be involved

unless we were going after
that drug Finch is on.

I get it. You can't talk about it.

The point is,
the truth always comes out,

so we might as well be honest
about each other.

You're right. We should.

- Casey, I've been thinking that...
- MAN: They're heading towards you.

- Let's do it.
- OK.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Move out! Go, go, go!

Get out! Get out of the car!

Down! Get down!

- On the ground!
- Keep 'em where I can see 'em.

On the ground, now! Ground now!

On the ground! On the ground now!

- OK, OK.
- [SIREN WAILS]

What's going on with you two?
You haven't broken up.

I would've noticed the signs.
Given your current body language...

Are you NZTing me right now?
Because I don't wanna talk about it.

Because you don't like confrontation.
I get that.

I'm just trying to repay you for all
the times I've asked for your advice.

- I didn't ask.
- I know you never would.

- Because you don't like confrontation.
- Don't like confrontation. Fine. I...

I don't know
how to start the conversation.

- And every time I try...
- You back down? OK.

So, compose what you wanna say

without giving him a chance
to interrupt or redirect,

and that way you won't feel like...

[PHONE CHIRPS]

Did you just break up with him
over text?

Hey. Naz, conference room now.

Though the recovery last night
seemed successful, we have an issue.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- Rooks, please join us.

As soon as you're ready, Agent Harris.
Yeah? Thank you very much.

Somewhere between the theft
at Gerwin-Strauss

and when we received
the evidence last night,

80 pills went missing.

You think someone skimmed off the top?

Gerwin-Strauss keeps meticulous records,

so I doubt it's a miscalculation
on their part

So that leaves Michigan PD and us.

Now, I don't think I have to worry
about anyone in this room, do I?

If you think I pocketed some
at the crime scene,

I was too busy keeping my partner
from bleeding out.

- [TEXT ALERT]
- [MOUTHS]

- Rooks? What did you see last night?
- Um...

Sorry, he was with me, and the drugs
were transported in a different van,

so... he wouldn't have had
the opportunity.

And none of my men would risk
their careers over prescription pills.

Oh, no, neither would I, but we're not
talking about oxycodone anymore.

Then maybe someone should tell me
what we are talking about.

NAZ: There's a Schedule I drug that the
CJC has a particular vested interest in.

It's called NZT-48.

CASEY: What's this?

What am I looking at?

We all know that Finch kid takes some
kind of clear pill. That's what this is.

- You got these from the Canadians?
- They had thousands of them.

Their trunk was better stocked up
than Lil Wayne's tour bus.

You need new material, man.

I don't care what story you make up.
You're gonna return those to evidence.

- What if we kept just one sheet?
- I'll admit, I'm curious.

These turned Finch
into some kind of fighting machine.

In two days
he learned what took you five years.

If they can make that clown
go from zero to 60,

imagine what they could do for us.

I don't know. Seems unnatural.

Wolverine is unnatural, but that
son of a bitch is still a superhero.

I wanna be a superhero, all right?

[LAUGHTER]

[PHONE RINGS]

CASEY: SWAT. Yeah, I'll be right up.

I gotta report upstairs.

Hey, Casey, come on. I only took these
because I thought you'd be in.

Yeah, but this time
it's not just our jobs on the line.

It's Rebecca's.
She led point on that retrieval.

I don't want this coming down on her.
Just get rid of 'em.

NAZ: Rooks?
What did you see last night?

REBECCA: Um...

Sorry, he was with me, and the drugs
were transported in a different van,

so... he wouldn't have had
the opportunity.

And none of my men would risk
their careers over prescription pills.

Oh, no, neither would I, but we're not
talking about oxycodone anymore.

Then maybe someone should tell me
what we are talking about.

- What the hell was that?
- I should've told you about NZT.

You think that's why I'm upset?
You just broke up with me over text.

- In the middle of a conference.
- I texted you before the meeting.

It just didn't send.

But you couldn't just talk to me
face to face?

Why? Because we're at work?

Because you're always more concerned
with office politics than us?

What happened
between last night and today?

Nothing.

How long have you felt
this wasn't working?

It never was.

Right. At least I know the truth now.

- We do this one time.
- What?

- Are you for real?
- What changed your mind?

Curiosity.

Just see what it's like
and then dump the rest.

- Nick, you in?
- I'm in if you're in, brother.

- Where do we go?
- Just see where the pill takes us, huh?

Let's go.

One shot to do anything you want,
what would you do?

Fine, I'll start

I'd win the Abu Dhabi Combat Club
World Championship.

Five minutes of killer stand-up
on The Tonight Show.

I wanna do a solo climb of K2.

To average 30 points a game in the NBA.

And why the hell not?

[I THE AGGREGATION:
A CHILD IS BORN]

KEVIN:All right,
it's like four o'clock in the morning...

What'd y'all do last weekend?

[INAUDIBLE]

Easy breezy.

Eight-six. Ball.

- Hey, let's go.
- KEVIN: Come on. Come on.

H - ow. _ e Y' W“ a“ "m?

Yeah, no, I...
I think I'm just coming down.

Yeah. All right, look,
I'm gonna call it a night.

OK. We'll divvy it up tomorrow.

Well, look who's come around about
dumping the rest of that stash, right?

All right, boys.

Russ.

You tired? Why don't we
swing by McSorely's on the way home?

" Rm buying,
" Why not?

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hey.
- I need your help, man.

Now.

I don't know what happened.

It was that drug, man.

It started on the basketball court
and... and I don't know what happened.

It was like...
It was like I smelled him on Alicia.

- When did you see Alicia?
- I didn't. No, in my mind.

In my memories. It was... like...

A couple of weeks ago I was pretty
convinced that she was cheating on me.

Last night I knew it.

After Russ and I ended up here,
I confronted him about it.

Things escalated.

I choked him out.

I didn't... I didn't mean it.

It was that drug, man.

- We need to call a lawyer.
- And say what?

Casey, if I'm arrested for this,

my best defense
is to say that I was on NZT,

which Kevin stole from evidence,
which you encouraged your team to take.

They're drug testing us
and we are all going down for this.

All because Russ was screwing my wife,

and because I killed Russ
for screwing my wife.

You want me to help you cover this up?

I can't even think straight.

NICK: You're not gonna take that?

Why not? Didn't make me kill anyone.

What, you seriously think
that I did this because I wanted to?

No, I just think you were messed up
and made a really, really bad decision.

[CHURCH BELL RINGS]

Let me just start by restating
this is all very screwed up.

Nick was right
that we can't just come clean.

The FBI doesn't want the world to know
that they're experimenting with NZT.

So someone somewhere
would keep you from testifying,

most likely by silencing you... and me,

Kevin too, since he stole the pills.

And let's face it,
what's three more bodies to them?

So Nick's decision wasn't as bad
as I'd initially thought.

Are you kidding me?

He killed Russ.

And you stole 80 pills
they were never going to let disappear.

Let me be very clear. I'm not saying
Nick should have killed Russ.

But since he did,
from a macro perspective,

the best thing we can do
is to pin the theft on Russ.

He stole the NZT that night
and then disappeared.

I'm meeting SAC Pouran.
I'm going to tell her my story.

Meet me outside in an hour.

[STAVROS HUMS]

Confidence, man. You got this.
Just go in there and tell your story.

You got your team into this mess.
Now get 'em out of it.

If you're nervous, find something
to distract yourself, shift your focus.

[MUSIC PLAYS ON HEADPHONES]

You mind if I borrow this?

[HUMS]

Hey, Casey. What's up, man?
I've been looking for you.

- I'm waiting to meet with Pouran.
- Oh, this will just take a second.

You know those pills that were stolen?

I decided to start mapping the strange
occurrences around the tri-state area,

thinking that's one way to track down
the drug, right?

Finding people doing things
that kind of scream NZT.

And I found an Instagram account
that tracked someone

climbing a building in Gramercy Park
without a rope last night.

- Crazy.
- I know.

Check out his shoes.

What am I looking at?

They're Frye combat boots, like yours.

- Popular shoe.
- Yeah, but not with climbers.

He ties them like yours too.

Top two hooks unlaced
but tied around the ankles.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

A lot of people lace their boots
that way. It's comfortable.

But not a lot of guys
with those boots tied that way

had access to NZT yesterday.

This is very helpful, Brian.

One of my guys has been off the grid
since that NZT-48 went missing.

This could be him.
I'll be sure to bring it up with Pouran.

- Thanks again.
- No problem.

Agent Rooks.

Why did you want to see me?

STAVROS". a' I gave my heart
and soul to you, girl

♪ Didn't I do it, baby?

♪ Didn't I do it, baby? A'

BRIAN: This one's for you, man.

[I PENNY & THE QUARTERS:
YOU AND ME]

What's with the song?

He had told me this one,
it was his favorite,

makes him think of you guys.

You didn't know that, did you?

No.

I guess, I mean, you guys do spend
a lot of time together.

It's not weird that he'd pick a song.

It's not that weird.

So... effective immediately,
I'm done taking you guys for granted.

Really. I'm not gonna ask you
to get me gummy worms.

I'm not just gonna ask you
to get me gummy worms.

I'm also gonna treat you
like the trained agents that you are.

- OK?
- OK.

OK, so, there's 80 NZT pills
out there still.

Whoever has them might be using them
to do some NZT-type stuff.

So I asked James Tech

to pull together everything weird
that happened last night.

[MIKE CHUCKLES]

"The Great Throwdini
set the world record

for throwing consecutive knives
at a human target."

Hmm. Not what I'd do on NZT.

- Me neither.
- Mmm.

Impressive, yes.

But if I stole NZT,
I don't think I'd give it to a dog.

How about you, bud? What do you think?
Think this is in the discard pile, huh?

Do you think he can hear us?

Oh, hey, Ike. Can you hear me, bud?
Can't wait to have you back, man.

I've got all saris of fun stuff
for us to do.

[SCREAMS]

I'm sure some version of this
is getting through.

Huh.

Some guy posted a bunch of pictures
on Instagram

of a guy climbing the building
across from his.

Let me see.

I'm pretty sure
those are Frye combat boots.

It's what we issue to our tactical team.

BRIAN: I've seen these
laced up like this.

I know what you're thinking. A lot
of guys lace their boots like that.

But not a lot of guys
with those boots tied that way

had access to NZT yesterday.

This is really helpful, Brian.

See, one of my guys has been
off the grid since the NZT went missing.

This could be him.

I'll be sure to bring it up with Pouran.

- Thanks again.
- No problem.

NAZ: Agent Rooks.

NAZ: Why did you want to see me?

There's no way
Casey skimmed those pills.

I was with him the whole time
we took down those dealers.

Then one of his guys stole them, but I
am telling you, he is on NZT right now.

Is his team here today?

Kevin Mitchell and Nick Wallace
are in the building.

- Well, they might be on NZT too.
- What are you doing?

I'm texting Naz to let her know that
three of her SWAT guys might be on NZT.

[PHONE CHIRPS]

Hey, Rebecca.

- Would you hand me your gun, please?
- Casey, you're in trouble.

But you are taking this to a place
you cannot come back from.

CASEY: We're gonna figure this out,
but I need your gun.

Please don't make me point this at you.

- Why did you take it?
- What? The pill?

It wasn't part of some grand plan.

It was in front of me
and I thought maybe I'd try it.

Maybe life could be better.
Maybe I could be better.

Don't we all think that sometimes?

And how's that upgrade
working out for you?

Cos it seems to me
this is a harsh measure to take

to avoid turning over a few pills.

What else happened last night, Casey?

And where's Russ?

NICK: We're totally boned, man.
She must have got the word out.

- What? What happened?
- The whole building's on lockdown.

How the hell
are we gonna get out of here?

We have a bag full of pills that makes
us smarter than anyone in the world.

All we need to do is think. Come here.

KEVIN: Look, we should just give up,
do our time and start over.

I just stole some pills.
I didn't kill anybody.

And I'm sorry about that, but how do we
back down now? What do we do?

- Fight our way out of here?
- CASEY: I want clear of this building.

- I just don't wanna hurt anyone.
- BRIAN: Hey, guys.

There's a way through this.

Look, you're outnumbered.

There's probably agents
gathering upstairs right now.

But you're SWAT. You've got resources
that nobody else has.

So if you don't wanna kill anyone,
you don't wanna kill anyone else,

just pretend
like there's a riot out there.

Tear gas.

We can pepper-spray all we want, but
we still can't get out of the building.

If you can put the building on lockdown,
you can take the building off lockdown.

They control that
from the special ops room, don't they?

Anyone SA or higher is trained
to work it. I could turn it off.

- Suit up. We're going to the CJC.
- No, this could be a trap.

Why? I want the same thing you guys do.

To get out of here
without anyone getting hurt.

[ALARM BLARES]

Let's go.

Gas is down!

CASEY: All right. Let's clear the rooms
and get in and out.

- Nick, go clear Ops.
- Yes, sir.

Go, go, go!

Get out of the room. Everybody out.

- NICK: Ops is clear.
- CASEY: Get Harris in there.

- Ow! My eyes!
- Nick. What happened to Nick?

- Nick, where are you?
- What happened?

There's someone else
with a mask in here.

Kevin?

- BOYLE: Lower your weapon.
- REBECCA: You've got two guns on you.

- Hey, guys! I'm on NZT. So is Casey.
- CASEY: We're walking out of here.

BRIAN: We can figure something out.
Think about it, Casey.

I'm sure you can see
there are so many paths to take.

And if we just
talk through them together...

- And if everyone puts their guns down!
- BOYLE: Now!

BOYLE: Final warning!

WOMAN". You do what you have to do.

BOYLE: Yeah, OK,
I just have a situation here.

I'll get out as soon as I can.
But it might be closer to eight.

WOMAN: I told you,
you have to be home by 7:30 today.

- I have tickets to that show.
- OK.

- Very expensive.
- OK, OK.

I'll... I'll figure it out.
I'll call you back.

BRIAN: This is Brian. Don't text back.

Look on my shelves
by the Counterintelligence files,

right next to the Js.

[ALARM BLARES]

- NICK: Ops is clear.
- CASEY: Get Harris in there.

- Ow! My eyes!
- CASEY: What happened to Nick?

Nick, where are you? There's
someone else with a mask in here.

Kevin?

- BOYLE: Lower your weapon.
- REBECCA: You've got two guns on you.

Hey, guys! I'm on NZT. So is Casey.

- CASEY: We're walking out of here.
- BRIAN: We can figure something out.

- REBECCA: Casey, put it down.
- BOYLE: Now!

Think about it, Casey. I'm sure you can
see there are so many paths to take.

And if we just talk through them...

BOYLE: Final warning!

NAZ: Boyle?

Agent Boyle.

What was your understanding
of the situation?

There was no other alternative.

Is that your understanding as well,
Agent Harris?

Uh, I don't know.

There was Brian.

Finch had a gun held to his head.
Anything he was saying was irrelevant.

He seemed to think
there was another way.

- He was also high.
- He was on NZT.

As was the agent who started a hostage
crisis in the middle of the FBI.

I did what I was trained to do
in that situation

to minimize the risk
of other casualties.

One shot to the head.

Can I go? I've given my statement.

Have you?

There was no other alternative.

You did what you had to do.

Go home. Get some rest.

You did your job and you did it well.
Don't second-guess that.

[SIGHS]

What are you looking for?

Naz said Casey was carrying the rest
of the NZT on him when he went down.

Forensics thinks they dropped one of 'em
when they were moving the body.

Right, well, could be anywhere.
Could have gotten kicked.

Hey, don't worry about it.
Just go home. I got it.

Thanks.

Have a good night.

You're early.

Yeah. I, uh...

- ls everything OK?
- It was a good day.

- I left you something on the stove.
- Oh... you are a saint.

- I'm beat.
- You work too hard.

Good night.

[KNOCKING]

Hey, did you forget something?

Hey. I got your message.

Come in.

I would have come to you,
but I'm kind of stuck here after seven.

- That's all right.
- Can I get you anything?

No. Why'd you wanna see me?

Well, it was something Rebecca mentioned
during the debriefing with Naz.

She said that you thought there was
another way today could have gone down.

When something traumatic like that
happens, we replay scenarios,

we search for other outcomes...

- Well, I'd like to hear it.
- What's that?

Those other outcomes.

How, besides getting yourself shot,
today could have gone down differently.

I appreciate what you did, Boyle,
and I respect your training...

But?

But if you would have given me
more time...

- To do what?
- Talk to Casey. To negotiate.

You're not a negotiator, Brian.

You're an untrained consultant
who sends real agents to get you sodas.

All right, look, I know I need to show
Mike and Ike more respect,

but I'm trying to do that.

When are you gonna start respecting me?

When I'm on NZT, I can read a situation
better than anyone in the room, OK?

I can think through all the different
angles, every perspective.

Then shouldn't you have known mine,

how and when I'm trained to use lethal
force, that I was gonna shoot Casey?

- You texted me.
- Yeah, I...

- I didn't think you'd shoot him.
- But I did.

Well, you shouldn't have.
Casey was never gonna fire.

But when you pulled the trigger,
he had enough time to pull his.

Instead he lowered his gun.

That was the last honorable thing
he could do,

and if you ask me, he might have done it
sooner, if you'd given me more time.

Like I said, it's not that I don't
respect the choice you made,

it's just... because of NZT,
I know there was a better one.

Welcome back, Jason.

Hey, good news, man.
Naz says you're getting a commendation.

You know...

...I kind of got used to Ike.

- [GROANS]
- Oh, no.

- Oh, no.
- Take it easy.

[GROANS]

Yes.
