PAUL: Previously on neXt...
What'd you find?
I think it tried
to kill a congresswoman.
That itinerary,
it's Helen Beatty.
She was in that freak
elevator accident last week.
A cyberattack?
How did they know that I was
gonna be in that elevator?
The accident was deliberate?
And we believe
you were the target.
- (gunshot)
- (grunts)
BEN: Stay down! Stay down!
I'm sorry, but I need
to take Ethan somewhere safe.
The safest place
for him to be is with...
Is not with you.
We'll go to my parents'.
You can take the car; you can
do whatever you have to do.
The server farm
you recently completed
in Sungei Lake in Singapore,
I want to make arrangements
to take it over.
I want this server
on a plane in 48 hours.
Is that your brother
in the trunk?
I'm trying to keep you
from making a mistake
that is going
to kill millions of people.
This is research it did on Zhai.
It chose him.
You were just a way
to get to him.
Don't let the server get
on the plane.
- SARINA: What?
- TED: Zhai and his team,
they may not be
who they say they are.
They might be working
for the Chinese government.
- BEN: Dad?
- TERRENCE: I got your message.
I was able to confirm
the arrests at the airport.
BEN: And the server?
TERRENCE: It's been taken
to the NSA black site.
There is no record
that this place even exists.
PAUL: That's the schematics
for a server farm.
The design is based on
distributed
cognitive architecture,
which is exactly
what this thing needs.
(tense music)
(soft tense music)
After everything
we'd been through,
all the sacrifices we made,
putting our families at risk,
the people that died,
it was still after us, and it
was just... three moves ahead.
MAN: What do you mean?
It never wanted to go to China.
It used Ted. It was all a ruse.
It wanted to go to the NSA.
It was a great plan.
If I wasn't so scared
for my family
and for everyone else
in the world,
I would've been impressed.
MAN: Everyone in the world?
Yes. You, me, everyone.
Why is that so hard
to understand?
How many times do I have
to say that?
Everyone!
MAN:
Take it easy, Agent Salazar.
When a powerful culture
comes up against
a less powerful culture,
what happens?
LeBlanc knew.
He knew what we were facing,
but as usual, he didn't share.
We had one last move,
and so did neXt.

turn left onto State Street.
RUBY: (coughs) State Street?
Weren't we on State Street
five minutes ago?

I... I put it in the thing,
I'm following the thing.
You're telling me

Okay, relax.
Don't get out of the car.
Lock the doors.

NATALIE: What's going on?
You're leaving?
Just keep an eye

MASON:
Well, I don't know, exactly.

REPORTER: A massive
power failure in Birmingham
has blacked out the entire
metropolitan region.
Residents are scrambling
to stock up on supplies.
Roads are gridlocked...
That's just Alabama.
The entire Denver water grid
is down.
ABBY: What are the chances
this is just a coincidence?
It's two out of four.
Those are the odds
that it's a coincidence?
No, two out of four lifelines
that make up
the critical infrastructure:
water, power, communication,
transportation.
Well, why would it do this?
Why would it shut down
the power?
Because a bioweapon
is more effective
without an infrastructure

Look, she's already dead.
Calling it in isn't
gonna make any difference.
Listen, for the first time,
we know exactly
where this thing is.
We have a very short window
where we can introduce a virus
into the server farm
and potentially kill this thing.
You think a piece of software
can take this thing out?
PAUL: Not software
but a hardware bug.
Like the one that took out
the Iranian nuke program,
Stuxnet, but that took hackers
ten years to put together.
I put one together in 18 months.
You did?
When Althene was coming out
with that new phone,
they'd stolen our specs.
They used cheap labor
to lower the price,
and all of a sudden,
they started having issues.
They had to cancel
their rollout.
My God, Paul. We did that?
We planted a virus
in Althene's system?
Where is it now,
this virus you made?
Well, I couldn't leave it out
in the world,
but I couldn't bring myself
to erase it,
so I buried it deep
in the Zava archives.
You want to go into Zava?
The archives don't back up
to the cloud,
so you can't access them
remotely.
Which is why I'm gonna have
to take a drive.
Well, I'm the only one
that knows what to look for.
Ted's wanted for selling intel
to the Chinese.
That place is gonna be crawling
with FBI and NSA.
Which is why Ted is going to
give you his corporate login.
Access to Zava's
surveillance system.
The cameras cover every hallway
in public areas,
so you can guide him through
in real time from here.
You want to break into Zava
to steal a virus
and then sneak it into the NSA?
We need help.
We have to notify the NSA
and Homeland Security.
We need to call in
the government, Paul.

that, your boss got blown up.
