Stitchers (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Red Eye - full transcript
The Stitchers attempt a risky operation to solve the death of airplane passengers. Kirsten confronts Liam while Camille helps Linus with a family problem.
Previously on Stitchers...
I told Nina I work in video games,
and she's already wondering why I
spend so much time at the office.
So, then you want to go to dinner?
- I can't.
- Nina.
You weren't at the university
library last night.
It has nothing to do with you.
Then who does it have to do with?
Maybe I should take you
off your assignment.
I've put in way too much time
grooming Liam to stop now.
I think that Liam has been
working with your father.
Camille was trying to get
that information out of him.
I don't want you to see Liam anymore.
It's too dangerous. I'll do it.
- Linus?
- Dad?
This must be your son.
I didn't think you could make it
to sign the medical power of attorney.
We need to talk.
I was created in the form of
someone your subconscious trusts.
Hopefully,
you'll be predisposed to trust me.
You have a sister.
- What's her name?
- Ivy Brown.
- Hello?
- Ivy Brown?
Look, whatever you're selling,
I'm not interested.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, I'm not a salesperson.
Um...
My name is Kirsten Clark.
I'm your sister... half-sister.
My father's Daniel Stinger.
Ivy?
I know who you are.
- I'm hanging up.
- No! No, no, no!
Wait, wait, please.
I'm looking for our father.
Don't call me again.
Hey, you've reached Ivy,
leave a message.
Hi, Ivy, it's me again.
Please, call me back.
We're family.
Good morning,
this is your captain speaking.
We've begun our descent...
- into Los Angeles International Airport...
- Deedee? Hey.
- Where the current weather is a comfortable.
- Hey, Deedee?
68 degrees...
- And the local time is 7:14...
- Deedee? Deedee!
...Pacific Standard Time.
- What's going on?
- Oh, my God, oh, my God.
- Is there a doctor onboard?
- Can I get some help?
- Wake up, Deedee, come on.
- Help?
- Oh, my God!
- Somebody help me!
- I don't know what's going on.
- Somebody help us!
- He's not breathing!
- Come on.
- What's going on?
- He's not breathing!
- He's dying!
- Hey, Miss?
- Wake up!
- I need help!
- Come on, wake up.
- Somebody?
Okay. Okay, we gotta stop.
We gotta stop.
I'm gonna be late for work again.
You bust your butt for that company.
They'll deal with it.
Yeah, well,
those video games don't code themselves.
These lips don't kiss themselves.
Oh, my gosh, that was so cheesy.
Ignore those texts,
and I'll show you just
how cheesy I can be.
Oh, I'm... not quite
sure what that means,
but I wish I could stick
around and find out.
Oh, come on, it's not life or death.
It's just a bunch of video games.
I'm gonna be late to work.
I'm gonna be late opening up the shop,
and I'm gonna risk the wrath
of a bunch of uber nerds
to spend some more time with you.
Believe me,
I'd rather spend more time with you,
but my boss is intense, so...
You're on-call, like, 24/7.
I mean, I get it.
I just miss you.
- Don't freak out.
- Hey, no, I'm not.
Okay, look, I miss you too.
Then go in late.
Look, I'm sorry.
Okay, I know it's weird,
but I'm dedicated to my job.
And to you.
Okay. You're saying this,
but I... I'm starting to think
you don't really have
time for a relationship.
Wha... Don't give up on me.
Okay, look, hey, let's just...
Let's do dinner tonight,
and we'll talk about it, okay?
- You promise?
- Yeah. Completely and totally.
Okay.
A plane from New York to Australia with
a scheduled stopover in Los Angeles
landed this morning
with 12 dead passengers.
Cause of death?
ME's preliminary findings
list heart attack.
12 heart attacks on the same plane?
Media's having a field day with this.
Homeland Security, LAPD,
and CDC are all scrambling.
A hazmat team swept the
plane and it was clean.
Same goes for the
passengers and the victims.
Blair believes our program can offer
a unique perspective on the case.
So we've received special dispensation
to run point and have
first crack at the bodies.
Before the media circus
goes off the rails,
we need to figure out
how these people died.
Or were killed. It's possible the
heart attacks were chemically induced.
Checked and ruled out.
Any connections between
the 12 passengers?
None. All strangers
seated in different parts of the plane.
It's very freaky.
Where are the surviving passengers now?
Detained.
The authorities can hold
the passengers for 24 hours
before either pressing
charges or letting them go.
We have until tomorrow
morning at 8:00 a.m.
Or it's possible the killer walks free.
I'm sorry, can I just play
Captain Obvious for like a sec?
We have 12 victims.
There's no way we can stitch
into all 12 in 24 hours.
Okay, so how many can we stitch into?
If we don't take any
breaks, we can do six.
But which six? By the time we background
check them all, time will be up.
- Has to be random.
- Okay, hold up, slow down.
I understand the urgency,
but just because it is
technically possible
to stitch into six victims in one day,
does not mean Stretch
here can handle it.
What is that?
Reverse psychology to get me motivated?
No, it's legitimate concern for
your mental and physical health.
Cameron is right.
12 people don't just die.
If there's a cause, a killer,
this is the only way of finding out.
I can do this.
Any sign that it's too much,
- we pull the plug.
- Agreed.
Well, you heard the
lady, let's get going.
It's gonna be a long day.
So, when can you hand off Liam to me?
Seriously? You have six stitches today.
How 'bout we get through that
and figure it out tomorrow?
Or, how 'bout we get through today?
Are you sure you want to do this?
You guys have major history.
Your old feelings for
him could get in the way.
It was the old me that dated Liam,
I didn't have feelings for him.
At least, you know, not in the
way I understand feelings now.
Oh, Kirsten, I'm not talking about love.
This guy's connected to your
dad and was playing you.
I'm talking about revenge.
I can handle it.
_
Well, if we ever wanted to push the
envelope of the program, this should do it.
What do you think? We
can do this, right?
Dr. Goodkin?
"Dr. Goodkin."
You going all formal on me doesn't
help my confidence, Detective Fisher.
There is some logic to stitching
into six victims consecutively.
Should give Kirsten enough
different perspective
of what went on inside that plane.
That is if we picked
the right six victims.
Six out of 12, 50/50 chance.
A Vegas slot machine had those odds
there'd be a line around the block.
Never been much of a gambler.
- Sub-bio?
- Go.
- Communications?
- Go.
- Medical?
- Go.
Comm check, Kirsten, one-two, one-two.
I'm here all day, folks.
Mission clock set to
five minutes, please.
Induce stitch neurosync on
my mark in three, two...
May the odds be ever in our favor...
one, mark!
- I'm on board.
- Where?
Uh, in the back.
Seat 12D.
There's a flight attendant in the aisle.
- Deedee.
- Checking the manifest.
Deedee Willis, she's a victim.
Did we pick her for stitching?
She's being mapped right now.
Sir, please make sure your...
How are the other passengers?
Anyone seem sick?
- Or dead?
- Or worse?
Uh, the woman in 12C isn't moving.
She's a victim but not a sample.
Her name is April Tuckman,
traveling with her husband, Howard.
She's still alive, she's just sleeping.
Uh, there's a guy in
the middle of the plane,
he's got the overhead compartment open.
He's looking for something.
Victim number one is on the move.
Suspicious looking lady in 10D.
Suspicious how?
She's working on a laptop,
and she didn't want victim one
seeing it as she walked past.
Laptop lady in 10D is not a victim,
but the guy next to her in 10E is,
Gavin Baxter,
who's also one of our upcoming stitches.
Victim number one's back in her seat.
Death moment in five seconds.
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning,
this is your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
Victim number one just... died.
There was no warning. It was like
someone flipped off a light switch.
Did you see anything unusual?
I don't know. I saw lots of pieces,
but I have no idea how or why
or if they all fit together.
Well, we've got just under
19 hours to figure that out.
How soon can we go again?
I've already left three messages.
All right, please,
just have him call me back.
Hey, I've been trying to get ahold of
my dad's doctor for the last two days.
- Who is it?
- Preminger.
Well, he's the best
orthopedic oncologist in LA.
I'd keep trying.
Son of a bitch.
That's Deedee Willis,
she was a flight attendant on board.
_
If anyone saw the entire flight and
all of its passengers, it's her.
How are you?
Just because you're a doctor does
not mean that you are my doctor.
But I am fine, thank you.
- Okay.
- How are you?
I feel like I never see you anymore.
I mean, outside of work.
You know, it... I...
You have Nina in your life, I get it.
Really, I'm just saying that
I miss hanging out with you.
I'll tell you what,
we get through these next 17 hours,
and then the three of us will,
uh, do drinks or something, okay?
She's crazy about you.
Oh, yeah, that sounds, uh...
That sounds really nice.
I think so too.
Comm check, Kirsten, one-two, one-two.
Loud and clear.
Mission clock set to
five minutes, please.
Induce stitch neurosync on my
mark in three, two, one, mark.
If you're tired, you should take a nap.
It's too cold to sleep.
- Better?
- Mm-hmm.
Howard Tuckman just put his jacket
on his wife to use as a blanket.
Laptop lady's doing some
pretty high-level math.
Any idea what?
I only saw a bit of it
before Deedee moved on.
Sir, please make sure your
watch is on airplane mode.
I'm just setting it
for Los Angeles time.
There's a man in 7C. He has a
smartwatch. He's setting it for LA time.
His name is Jay Kolden, not a victim.
Okay. Thank you.
What was that about?
Can't find his passport.
What was that?
Death moment in five seconds.
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
Deedee's memory ended at exactly the same
moment during the captain's announcement.
Did you see anything in the
run-up to the moment of death?
Uh, that the lights flickered and
the captain made an announcement.
Well, the lights and the PA system
are both electrical in nature.
I can go check out the plane.
I just need a simple EMI detector.
Okay. We have a little time
before the next stitch.
Grab two and get over
there with Camille.
- Roger that.
- What's our vector, Victor?
That literally means nothing to me.
Airplane!
You're learning.
You okay, champ?
I'm good.
Okay. You make sure and let
me know if anything changes.
You will be the second to know.
Hey, did you, um...
You ever connect with your dad's doctor?
No. It's like trying to
nail jelly to a wall.
He has so many patients my
dad is just another number.
Well, he's really lucky he
has an advocate like you.
How's he doing?
He's trying to be brave,
but I know he's afraid.
So is my mother. So am I.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Oh, no, no, don't... I got it. It got.
Liam. That Liam?
Is he the reason you
weren't at the library?
Yeah. You wanna know why?
Because he's connected
to Daniel Stinger.
And Maggie wanted me to find out
what information I could get on him.
I suppose she didn't
want you telling me.
No, I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
So, I didn't. I did my job.
I believe you.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Oh, sorry.
Nina?
Yeah. How'd you know?
Smile gave you away.
We were supposed
to have dinner tonight, but...
Mmm.
Sorry you had to cancel.
Oh, you never know. I mean, we could
solve the case in the next stitch.
The aspirin you asked for.
Thanks.
Aspirin?
Yeah, relax. It's just a headache.
I'll be fine.
Okay.
_
Third stitch is the charm?
Let's hope so.
There was no residual electricity
in the cabin. Readings were clear.
We've checked and double-checked it.
There's absolutely nothing that
connects one victim to another.
Where are we on personal possessions?
Everything the victims
had on them when they died
is on its way to the lab for examination.
Blair again?
The man is relentless.
We have to make some progress.
Hello, stranger.
I was starting to think
you were avoiding me.
Yeah, uh, about that,
you weren't imagining.
Camile, what's up? Is
this about Kirsten?
You know what?
It turns out she's not as completely
over you as I originally thought.
Really?
Yeah, you know, I guess
seeing us together
made her realize how
much she... missed you.
And if there's any chance you two
could repair your relationship,
I wouldn't feel right
standing in the way.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a
bit intrigued by the possibility.
Okay. Well, I'll have her reach out.
You really are a selfless friend.
She's lucky to have you.
And I'll tell her as
much when I see her.
Mission clock set to
five minutes, please.
Induce stitch neurosync on my
mark in three, two, one, mark.
Where are you, Captain?
I'm in the terminal before the flight.
Gavin is sitting next to laptop lady.
Can you see what she's
got on her computer?
Got it.
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making out final
descent into Los Ang...
Death moment?
Same as the others.
Did you see what she was working on?
Quantum computing.
There are five quantum
computers in the world.
The Department of Defense has one,
the company that makes them has one,
NASA has one, and we have one.
- Where's number five?
- Unknown.
Is it Stitchers related?
We've been targeted before.
What seat is she in?
10D.
Tracy Green.
Congratulations, Tracy Green,
you just made it to the top of the list.
What was the purpose of
your trip to Los Angeles?
Business.
Could you be any more vague?
I'm not the one dragging traumatized
passengers to interrogation rooms
in windowless vans.
Ma'am, we're just trying to determine
what happened on that plane.
What sort of business are you in?
I'm here to meet with some
of our component suppliers.
I work for a company that designs
tech for quantum computers.
Not like either one of you two muscleheads
would know anything about them.
She called me a musclehead.
And what is your
position at the company?
I specialize in adiabatic
quantum computation.
- Basically, what that means...
- I know what it means.
You're familiar with
the adiabatic model?
Yeah.
Can I see the laptop you
used during the flight?
Good luck.
Crapped out right before we landed.
It's toast.
Thank you for your time, Ms. Green.
Once we've verified things with your
employer, we'll have you taken back to LAX.
You know, just out of curiosity, what would
one of your quantum computers set me back?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Okay.
I doubt she knows anything
about the Stitchers program.
I doubt she knows anything
about quantum computation.
I mastered the adiabatic
model in fifth grade.
If there's a pattern
here, I don't see it.
We have 11 toothbrushes,
nine sets of earbuds,
five neck pillows, one borderline
pornographic romance novel...
Anything here stand
out from the stitches?
Nothing that makes any sense, no.
Okay, we've got 45 minutes
until your next stitch.
I insist that you get off your feet,
all right?
- We'll keep sorting.
- No, I can handle it.
Hey, no, no, Kirsten, please.
Look, you're no good to us burnt out,
all right?
We got this. Sit.
Good stitcher.
Wait, here's something. None of the victims
were scheduled to remain in Los Angeles.
They were all traveling on to Sydney.
Were they the only passengers
going on to Australia?
No, but that doesn't negate the pattern.
Final destination as a cause of death?
They were all traveling internationally,
they all had passports.
Nope.
Hello?
Kirsten?
Nina, hi.
Um, is Cameron there?
Kirsten, are you there?
Sorry.
Um, uh, Cameron's kinda busy right now.
Um, do you know when he's gonna be off?
No, it's been a crazy day,
so I'm not really sure.
You want me to leave him a message?
No, I've got it. Thanks.
Why are you calling me from your office?
I'm sure you have things
you need to be working on.
I just wanted to check in
and see how you were doing.
My test results came back.
They are not what we
had hoped for, Linus.
But you know that already.
I got a call from the doctor tonight.
12 messages, Linus?
Baba, he doesn't talk to me.
What else am I supposed to do?
I can't help you if I
don't know what's going on.
I'm a grown man, Linus.
I can take care of myself.
I know that. But I want to help.
I'll come by later today and we can talk
through all of the treatment options.
No, no. You're at work.
You have responsibilities.
You need to live your life.
Worry about the things you can control.
Why are you making goodbye speeches?
You're gonna be fine.
People beat this every day.
Even more reason you
should stay at the office.
Hey.
Listen, what do you say when
this is all over, you and I...
My dad is worse than I thought.
Okay. What can I do?
I just need more time.
We are moving so fast,
I just want to go over a few
calculations before we start.
- Linus...
- I just need to do my job.
It's okay. There's nothing I
can do to help cure my dad.
But this?
This is a problem I know how to solve.
Really. It's gonna be okay.
This is the guy who was looking
for something in the overhead bin.
- Mike?
- Matt Calter.
_
Australian commodities broker.
How you holding up, cupcake?
Yeah, all right. Never better.
Heh. Liar.
Hey, keep an eye out for anything relating
to those victims' passports, okay?
Might be the key.
I don't like this. BP is dropping.
- Should we bounce her?
- No!
Do not bounce me.
Sir, please make sure your
watch is on airplane mode.
It is. I'm just setting
it for Los Angeles time.
Okay, thank you.
Babe, if you're tired,
you should take a nap.
It's too cold to sleep.
I'm sorry, but you
need to sit back down.
I'm just looking for my passport.
I understand, but you'll have to look
for it after we're on the ground.
Okay, Matt's passport's missing. It
couldn't have been connected to his death.
Lucky I found this.
Death moment in five seconds.
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
I was wrong. Matt did have his passport,
and he had it in the pocket
next to his heart when he died.
Dammit, I don't even know
what we're looking for.
There is nothing unusual
about any of these.
Maybe that's the point.
I mean, unusual would stand out.
Something ordinary could be a clue?
Okay. Um, standard stitching and paper,
a page for a signature and data,
machine-readable zone...
Fishy, knife.
Don't hurt yourself.
Oh, I'll try not to.
All passports have radio
frequency chips embedded in them.
Could that be something?
RFID chips just store information,
that's it.
- Knife.
- No, when I'm ready.
Hey, is she okay?
Her headache's gone,
and I gave her a shot
of B-12 and glucose
to help with the fatigue
and low blood-sugar,
but we have to make sure she
eats between the stitches.
Ayo, is she okay?
Look, she's doing something no one's
ever done before. I don't know.
Alex, how quickly can we switch
out samples in the corpse cassette?
Go from one to the other?
Yeah. Without Kirsten having to bounce.
Hot swapping?
Should be possible. As long as the
next subject's memory is mapped out.
Minute. Minute and a half, tops.
Good. Get victim number six cued up,
I'll coordinate with Linus.
_
Listen up, boys and girls, we're going to
try something new. Kirsten's burning out.
Cameron, I'm fine.
You're burning out. So in order for
her to get through this in one piece,
she's gonna stitch in for two minutes
before moving on to the next subject.
But every time Kirsten
bounces we have to reset?
- That's why she's not gonna bounce.
- Really?
We're gonna move your awareness
to stasis for one minute
while we switch out victim number
five for victim number six.
One stitch, two samples.
That'll spare Kirsten, and the rest of
us, from having to make an extra stitch
that she may or may not recover from.
Is two minutes enough time to
get anything out of a stitch?
It'll have to be. Lights at 20%, please.
Mission clock set to
two minutes, please.
All right, Kirsten, when you're in there,
you won't have much time to explore, so...
Strictly smash and grab job. Got it.
Thank you, Cameron.
Of course.
Induce first stitch neurosync on my mark
in three, two, one, mark.
Sir, please make sure your
watch is on airplane mode.
It is. I'm just setting
it for Los Angeles time.
Thank you.
Dude, can I squeeze past you?
Sure.
Nervous guy writing a letter.
Death moment. Going offline... now!
Okay, Kirsten, we're
moving you to stasis.
All right, let's switch her out,
let's go, let's go! Kirsten, one minute.
Okay. Please, hurry.
Ready to move.
BP starting to escalate.
Move sample.
Need some help over here!
She needs to slow down her breathing.
All right, Kirsten,
you're doing great, all right?
Just slow down your breathing,
we're almost done here.
Cameron, I'm in a void.
Um... I'm nowhere.
I'm nothing.
I'm all alone.
No. Not alone.
Who are you?
You look so tired, so scared.
I am.
Don't worry. I'll stay with you.
Stay with me, Kirsten.
Hooking up neural transmitter.
Must move faster, boys.
- Get the harness.
- Okay, on my go.
Get it up.
Coming up on 30 seconds.
I've been watching you stitch
into all those poor people.
You've got the right idea,
but you're going about it wrong.
What do you mean?
You need to see all of the victims'
memories at the same time
if you want to see all
the pieces of the puzzle.
But we can only stitch
into one person at a time.
Not true.
I'm gonna show you something. Ready?
Recognize that?
I picked it from your memory.
I remember.
My mother made that daisy chain for me.
It's also the answer you need to stitching
into multiple people at the same time.
We got it. Okay, go ahead.
We're good to go.
You're doing great, Kirsten.
You're doing great.
Induce second stitch neurosync
on my mark in three...
Thank you.
- Two, one...
- You're welcome.
Mark.
Two minutes. Plenty of time, Kirsten.
I won't need it.
There's nothing here to see.
I'm sorry, I...
I was so tired I didn't
map this memory properly.
So it's a wasted stitch.
Dammit, Kirsten, just make the bounce.
I'm sorry.
It's not his fault, Cameron.
We're all running on fumes here.
I know. I'm just frustrated.
Wait, there's one thing...
One thing that we haven't tried.
- Get her out of there!
- Kirsten!
- Somebody get the team in here!
- Get that Med cart! Go!
What happened?
You passed out in the tank.
Pulse ox is 93. Almost back to normal.
How do you feel?
Surprisingly refreshed.
How do you really feel?
- I'm fine.
- And we're gonna keep you that way.
- Okay, we're done.
- No, what? We can't be.
There's less than three hours left. This
was a nearly impossible task to begin with.
We'll keep at it with the
evidence we've already gathered.
No, that's not enough.
The killer will walk free.
We have to do one more stitch.
All five victims with viable
memories at the same time.
You are disoriented from passing out.
No. No, I need to see the entire
passenger section of the plane
from all perspectives at once.
- Can we even do that?
- In theory,
but I don't know how.
We daisy chain the subjects.
We arrange four of them
around the corpse cassette,
and have them all interconnected
the the subject inside.
Interesting. What gave you that idea?
Just popped into my head.
We could use the optogenetics
harnesses from the university.
That could work.
Hold on. Is it safe to send her into
the memories of five victims at once?
On a normal day, maybe,
but I don't know.
I mean, we are on the edge of the map.
We need to be sure.
Guys...
12 people are dead, okay?
And the killer is waiting to
hop on a plane to Australia.
We can't just let him or
her fly off into the sunset.
Get the harnesses.
I hate grape.
Gotta keep your electrolytes up.
I got it!
Cal Tech was cool with
you borrowing these?
If by borrowing you mean breaking
into the lockers where they're kept
and shoving them in grocery bags before
walking out, yeah, they're very cool.
All right, once we
harness all the subjects
together, we'll wire them up
like a daisy chain.
I'll network all five
memories into my console.
- How long?
- 15 minutes.
You have 10.
Listen up, Daisy-Mae.
I don't know what to expect in there,
so keep your cool,
and at the first sign of trouble...
I'll bounce. Don't worry.
Fasten your seatbelt,
it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Lights at 20%, please.
Induce multiple stitch
neurosyncs on my mark
in three, two, one, mark.
I understand, but you'll have to look
for it after we're on the ground.
Lucky I found this.
_
But his name's Vincent, not Jay...
Who, Kirsten?
Half the money is in your account.
Once you're out...
I'll deposit the other half.
You and Maria...
will be set for life.
Here. Keep this right here.
Get used to the name "Vincent Grant."
I'm Jay Kolder now.
Got it.
The two men in the terminal,
Vincent and Jay,
they swapped identities.
The man with the smartwatch
is really Vincent Grant.
It is. I'm just setting
it for Los Angeles time.
Okay. Thank you.
Dude, can I squeeze past you?
Sure.
Jay told Deedee that he was
setting his smartwatch for LA time.
He lied. He started a
timer for 45 seconds.
Death moment in five seconds!
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
So, the Vincent Grant
that died on the plane
was actually Jay Kolden.
He was paid to swap identities and go to
prison in place of the real Vincent Grant.
People won't look for you
if they think you're dead.
Is Vincent Grant a known fugitive?
Oh, a push notice.
Vincent Grant is a known alias
for a high-tech arms dealer on the FBI's
most wanted list. So that's a big yes.
Then Vincent must have
turned his smartwatch
into an electromagnetic field emitter.
That explains the flickering lights.
And not just that, but an EMF
could interact with an RFID chip
to create an electrical
charge strong enough
to mess up the natural
rhythm of a person's heart.
An instant heart attack.
And Vincent made sure that Jay had
his passport right over his heart.
Jay was the real target.
Anyone else who had their passport in their
front pocket was just collateral damage.
Tell me we can still get this bastard?
24 hours was up five minutes ago.
Vincent and the rest of the
passengers were just released.
And, according to the updated manifest,
the passenger formerly known as Jay
Kolden, 7C is no longer on the flight.
Meaning he could be
anywhere at this point.
And if he's smart,
he's using a different name.
I saw something else on the smartwatch
in an earlier stitch. Hand me a notepad.
- Here.
- Thanks.
Does this mean anything to anyone?
That looks like the logo
for the Tokyo metro system.
I did a semester abroad.
Look familiar?
That's it.
The Tokyo metro system has an
app available for smartwatches.
Find out when the next flight leaves
LAX for Tokyo. You can ID him?
I've seen his face enough
in the last 24 hours.
- Go get him.
- Okay.
Boarding call
for flight 1205 to Tokyo...
You see Vincent?
There.
Hey, whoa. Hang back.
- I don't want to make a scene.
- Okay.
Make things difficult,
Vincent, and you'll regret it.
Who are you?
LAPD, NSA, take your pick.
They didn't even offer us coffee
so I had to stand in this giant
line just to get my latte.
Listen, I want a new laptop
waiting for me when I get there.
I know how you killed those people.
Which means you know how I'm
gonna kill everyone around me
who has a passport near their heart
unless you let me walk out of here.
I'm not gonna let you do that.
October 2003.
What about it?
That was the date that the LAPD
first started embedding RFID
chips into their ID cards.
Just like that one.
Goodbye, Detective.
Excuse me!
Aagh!
Good going.
Oh, uh...
Thanks.
Crap.
_
_
I figured you'd be passed out by now.
I forgot to tell you Nina
called you yesterday.
You should call her back.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll get on that.
- How you feeling?
- Exhausted.
Maybe it's the jet lag?
Ha ha, it's way too early for jokes.
I'll see you in three
days after I wake up.
Okay. Sweet dreams.
Mmm...
Hello?
It's Ivy.
I've changed my mind. When can we meet?
I told Nina I work in video games,
and she's already wondering why I
spend so much time at the office.
So, then you want to go to dinner?
- I can't.
- Nina.
You weren't at the university
library last night.
It has nothing to do with you.
Then who does it have to do with?
Maybe I should take you
off your assignment.
I've put in way too much time
grooming Liam to stop now.
I think that Liam has been
working with your father.
Camille was trying to get
that information out of him.
I don't want you to see Liam anymore.
It's too dangerous. I'll do it.
- Linus?
- Dad?
This must be your son.
I didn't think you could make it
to sign the medical power of attorney.
We need to talk.
I was created in the form of
someone your subconscious trusts.
Hopefully,
you'll be predisposed to trust me.
You have a sister.
- What's her name?
- Ivy Brown.
- Hello?
- Ivy Brown?
Look, whatever you're selling,
I'm not interested.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, I'm not a salesperson.
Um...
My name is Kirsten Clark.
I'm your sister... half-sister.
My father's Daniel Stinger.
Ivy?
I know who you are.
- I'm hanging up.
- No! No, no, no!
Wait, wait, please.
I'm looking for our father.
Don't call me again.
Hey, you've reached Ivy,
leave a message.
Hi, Ivy, it's me again.
Please, call me back.
We're family.
Good morning,
this is your captain speaking.
We've begun our descent...
- into Los Angeles International Airport...
- Deedee? Hey.
- Where the current weather is a comfortable.
- Hey, Deedee?
68 degrees...
- And the local time is 7:14...
- Deedee? Deedee!
...Pacific Standard Time.
- What's going on?
- Oh, my God, oh, my God.
- Is there a doctor onboard?
- Can I get some help?
- Wake up, Deedee, come on.
- Help?
- Oh, my God!
- Somebody help me!
- I don't know what's going on.
- Somebody help us!
- He's not breathing!
- Come on.
- What's going on?
- He's not breathing!
- He's dying!
- Hey, Miss?
- Wake up!
- I need help!
- Come on, wake up.
- Somebody?
Okay. Okay, we gotta stop.
We gotta stop.
I'm gonna be late for work again.
You bust your butt for that company.
They'll deal with it.
Yeah, well,
those video games don't code themselves.
These lips don't kiss themselves.
Oh, my gosh, that was so cheesy.
Ignore those texts,
and I'll show you just
how cheesy I can be.
Oh, I'm... not quite
sure what that means,
but I wish I could stick
around and find out.
Oh, come on, it's not life or death.
It's just a bunch of video games.
I'm gonna be late to work.
I'm gonna be late opening up the shop,
and I'm gonna risk the wrath
of a bunch of uber nerds
to spend some more time with you.
Believe me,
I'd rather spend more time with you,
but my boss is intense, so...
You're on-call, like, 24/7.
I mean, I get it.
I just miss you.
- Don't freak out.
- Hey, no, I'm not.
Okay, look, I miss you too.
Then go in late.
Look, I'm sorry.
Okay, I know it's weird,
but I'm dedicated to my job.
And to you.
Okay. You're saying this,
but I... I'm starting to think
you don't really have
time for a relationship.
Wha... Don't give up on me.
Okay, look, hey, let's just...
Let's do dinner tonight,
and we'll talk about it, okay?
- You promise?
- Yeah. Completely and totally.
Okay.
A plane from New York to Australia with
a scheduled stopover in Los Angeles
landed this morning
with 12 dead passengers.
Cause of death?
ME's preliminary findings
list heart attack.
12 heart attacks on the same plane?
Media's having a field day with this.
Homeland Security, LAPD,
and CDC are all scrambling.
A hazmat team swept the
plane and it was clean.
Same goes for the
passengers and the victims.
Blair believes our program can offer
a unique perspective on the case.
So we've received special dispensation
to run point and have
first crack at the bodies.
Before the media circus
goes off the rails,
we need to figure out
how these people died.
Or were killed. It's possible the
heart attacks were chemically induced.
Checked and ruled out.
Any connections between
the 12 passengers?
None. All strangers
seated in different parts of the plane.
It's very freaky.
Where are the surviving passengers now?
Detained.
The authorities can hold
the passengers for 24 hours
before either pressing
charges or letting them go.
We have until tomorrow
morning at 8:00 a.m.
Or it's possible the killer walks free.
I'm sorry, can I just play
Captain Obvious for like a sec?
We have 12 victims.
There's no way we can stitch
into all 12 in 24 hours.
Okay, so how many can we stitch into?
If we don't take any
breaks, we can do six.
But which six? By the time we background
check them all, time will be up.
- Has to be random.
- Okay, hold up, slow down.
I understand the urgency,
but just because it is
technically possible
to stitch into six victims in one day,
does not mean Stretch
here can handle it.
What is that?
Reverse psychology to get me motivated?
No, it's legitimate concern for
your mental and physical health.
Cameron is right.
12 people don't just die.
If there's a cause, a killer,
this is the only way of finding out.
I can do this.
Any sign that it's too much,
- we pull the plug.
- Agreed.
Well, you heard the
lady, let's get going.
It's gonna be a long day.
So, when can you hand off Liam to me?
Seriously? You have six stitches today.
How 'bout we get through that
and figure it out tomorrow?
Or, how 'bout we get through today?
Are you sure you want to do this?
You guys have major history.
Your old feelings for
him could get in the way.
It was the old me that dated Liam,
I didn't have feelings for him.
At least, you know, not in the
way I understand feelings now.
Oh, Kirsten, I'm not talking about love.
This guy's connected to your
dad and was playing you.
I'm talking about revenge.
I can handle it.
_
Well, if we ever wanted to push the
envelope of the program, this should do it.
What do you think? We
can do this, right?
Dr. Goodkin?
"Dr. Goodkin."
You going all formal on me doesn't
help my confidence, Detective Fisher.
There is some logic to stitching
into six victims consecutively.
Should give Kirsten enough
different perspective
of what went on inside that plane.
That is if we picked
the right six victims.
Six out of 12, 50/50 chance.
A Vegas slot machine had those odds
there'd be a line around the block.
Never been much of a gambler.
- Sub-bio?
- Go.
- Communications?
- Go.
- Medical?
- Go.
Comm check, Kirsten, one-two, one-two.
I'm here all day, folks.
Mission clock set to
five minutes, please.
Induce stitch neurosync on
my mark in three, two...
May the odds be ever in our favor...
one, mark!
- I'm on board.
- Where?
Uh, in the back.
Seat 12D.
There's a flight attendant in the aisle.
- Deedee.
- Checking the manifest.
Deedee Willis, she's a victim.
Did we pick her for stitching?
She's being mapped right now.
Sir, please make sure your...
How are the other passengers?
Anyone seem sick?
- Or dead?
- Or worse?
Uh, the woman in 12C isn't moving.
She's a victim but not a sample.
Her name is April Tuckman,
traveling with her husband, Howard.
She's still alive, she's just sleeping.
Uh, there's a guy in
the middle of the plane,
he's got the overhead compartment open.
He's looking for something.
Victim number one is on the move.
Suspicious looking lady in 10D.
Suspicious how?
She's working on a laptop,
and she didn't want victim one
seeing it as she walked past.
Laptop lady in 10D is not a victim,
but the guy next to her in 10E is,
Gavin Baxter,
who's also one of our upcoming stitches.
Victim number one's back in her seat.
Death moment in five seconds.
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning,
this is your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
Victim number one just... died.
There was no warning. It was like
someone flipped off a light switch.
Did you see anything unusual?
I don't know. I saw lots of pieces,
but I have no idea how or why
or if they all fit together.
Well, we've got just under
19 hours to figure that out.
How soon can we go again?
I've already left three messages.
All right, please,
just have him call me back.
Hey, I've been trying to get ahold of
my dad's doctor for the last two days.
- Who is it?
- Preminger.
Well, he's the best
orthopedic oncologist in LA.
I'd keep trying.
Son of a bitch.
That's Deedee Willis,
she was a flight attendant on board.
_
If anyone saw the entire flight and
all of its passengers, it's her.
How are you?
Just because you're a doctor does
not mean that you are my doctor.
But I am fine, thank you.
- Okay.
- How are you?
I feel like I never see you anymore.
I mean, outside of work.
You know, it... I...
You have Nina in your life, I get it.
Really, I'm just saying that
I miss hanging out with you.
I'll tell you what,
we get through these next 17 hours,
and then the three of us will,
uh, do drinks or something, okay?
She's crazy about you.
Oh, yeah, that sounds, uh...
That sounds really nice.
I think so too.
Comm check, Kirsten, one-two, one-two.
Loud and clear.
Mission clock set to
five minutes, please.
Induce stitch neurosync on my
mark in three, two, one, mark.
If you're tired, you should take a nap.
It's too cold to sleep.
- Better?
- Mm-hmm.
Howard Tuckman just put his jacket
on his wife to use as a blanket.
Laptop lady's doing some
pretty high-level math.
Any idea what?
I only saw a bit of it
before Deedee moved on.
Sir, please make sure your
watch is on airplane mode.
I'm just setting it
for Los Angeles time.
There's a man in 7C. He has a
smartwatch. He's setting it for LA time.
His name is Jay Kolden, not a victim.
Okay. Thank you.
What was that about?
Can't find his passport.
What was that?
Death moment in five seconds.
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
Deedee's memory ended at exactly the same
moment during the captain's announcement.
Did you see anything in the
run-up to the moment of death?
Uh, that the lights flickered and
the captain made an announcement.
Well, the lights and the PA system
are both electrical in nature.
I can go check out the plane.
I just need a simple EMI detector.
Okay. We have a little time
before the next stitch.
Grab two and get over
there with Camille.
- Roger that.
- What's our vector, Victor?
That literally means nothing to me.
Airplane!
You're learning.
You okay, champ?
I'm good.
Okay. You make sure and let
me know if anything changes.
You will be the second to know.
Hey, did you, um...
You ever connect with your dad's doctor?
No. It's like trying to
nail jelly to a wall.
He has so many patients my
dad is just another number.
Well, he's really lucky he
has an advocate like you.
How's he doing?
He's trying to be brave,
but I know he's afraid.
So is my mother. So am I.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Oh, no, no, don't... I got it. It got.
Liam. That Liam?
Is he the reason you
weren't at the library?
Yeah. You wanna know why?
Because he's connected
to Daniel Stinger.
And Maggie wanted me to find out
what information I could get on him.
I suppose she didn't
want you telling me.
No, I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
So, I didn't. I did my job.
I believe you.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Oh, sorry.
Nina?
Yeah. How'd you know?
Smile gave you away.
We were supposed
to have dinner tonight, but...
Mmm.
Sorry you had to cancel.
Oh, you never know. I mean, we could
solve the case in the next stitch.
The aspirin you asked for.
Thanks.
Aspirin?
Yeah, relax. It's just a headache.
I'll be fine.
Okay.
_
Third stitch is the charm?
Let's hope so.
There was no residual electricity
in the cabin. Readings were clear.
We've checked and double-checked it.
There's absolutely nothing that
connects one victim to another.
Where are we on personal possessions?
Everything the victims
had on them when they died
is on its way to the lab for examination.
Blair again?
The man is relentless.
We have to make some progress.
Hello, stranger.
I was starting to think
you were avoiding me.
Yeah, uh, about that,
you weren't imagining.
Camile, what's up? Is
this about Kirsten?
You know what?
It turns out she's not as completely
over you as I originally thought.
Really?
Yeah, you know, I guess
seeing us together
made her realize how
much she... missed you.
And if there's any chance you two
could repair your relationship,
I wouldn't feel right
standing in the way.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a
bit intrigued by the possibility.
Okay. Well, I'll have her reach out.
You really are a selfless friend.
She's lucky to have you.
And I'll tell her as
much when I see her.
Mission clock set to
five minutes, please.
Induce stitch neurosync on my
mark in three, two, one, mark.
Where are you, Captain?
I'm in the terminal before the flight.
Gavin is sitting next to laptop lady.
Can you see what she's
got on her computer?
Got it.
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making out final
descent into Los Ang...
Death moment?
Same as the others.
Did you see what she was working on?
Quantum computing.
There are five quantum
computers in the world.
The Department of Defense has one,
the company that makes them has one,
NASA has one, and we have one.
- Where's number five?
- Unknown.
Is it Stitchers related?
We've been targeted before.
What seat is she in?
10D.
Tracy Green.
Congratulations, Tracy Green,
you just made it to the top of the list.
What was the purpose of
your trip to Los Angeles?
Business.
Could you be any more vague?
I'm not the one dragging traumatized
passengers to interrogation rooms
in windowless vans.
Ma'am, we're just trying to determine
what happened on that plane.
What sort of business are you in?
I'm here to meet with some
of our component suppliers.
I work for a company that designs
tech for quantum computers.
Not like either one of you two muscleheads
would know anything about them.
She called me a musclehead.
And what is your
position at the company?
I specialize in adiabatic
quantum computation.
- Basically, what that means...
- I know what it means.
You're familiar with
the adiabatic model?
Yeah.
Can I see the laptop you
used during the flight?
Good luck.
Crapped out right before we landed.
It's toast.
Thank you for your time, Ms. Green.
Once we've verified things with your
employer, we'll have you taken back to LAX.
You know, just out of curiosity, what would
one of your quantum computers set me back?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Okay.
I doubt she knows anything
about the Stitchers program.
I doubt she knows anything
about quantum computation.
I mastered the adiabatic
model in fifth grade.
If there's a pattern
here, I don't see it.
We have 11 toothbrushes,
nine sets of earbuds,
five neck pillows, one borderline
pornographic romance novel...
Anything here stand
out from the stitches?
Nothing that makes any sense, no.
Okay, we've got 45 minutes
until your next stitch.
I insist that you get off your feet,
all right?
- We'll keep sorting.
- No, I can handle it.
Hey, no, no, Kirsten, please.
Look, you're no good to us burnt out,
all right?
We got this. Sit.
Good stitcher.
Wait, here's something. None of the victims
were scheduled to remain in Los Angeles.
They were all traveling on to Sydney.
Were they the only passengers
going on to Australia?
No, but that doesn't negate the pattern.
Final destination as a cause of death?
They were all traveling internationally,
they all had passports.
Nope.
Hello?
Kirsten?
Nina, hi.
Um, is Cameron there?
Kirsten, are you there?
Sorry.
Um, uh, Cameron's kinda busy right now.
Um, do you know when he's gonna be off?
No, it's been a crazy day,
so I'm not really sure.
You want me to leave him a message?
No, I've got it. Thanks.
Why are you calling me from your office?
I'm sure you have things
you need to be working on.
I just wanted to check in
and see how you were doing.
My test results came back.
They are not what we
had hoped for, Linus.
But you know that already.
I got a call from the doctor tonight.
12 messages, Linus?
Baba, he doesn't talk to me.
What else am I supposed to do?
I can't help you if I
don't know what's going on.
I'm a grown man, Linus.
I can take care of myself.
I know that. But I want to help.
I'll come by later today and we can talk
through all of the treatment options.
No, no. You're at work.
You have responsibilities.
You need to live your life.
Worry about the things you can control.
Why are you making goodbye speeches?
You're gonna be fine.
People beat this every day.
Even more reason you
should stay at the office.
Hey.
Listen, what do you say when
this is all over, you and I...
My dad is worse than I thought.
Okay. What can I do?
I just need more time.
We are moving so fast,
I just want to go over a few
calculations before we start.
- Linus...
- I just need to do my job.
It's okay. There's nothing I
can do to help cure my dad.
But this?
This is a problem I know how to solve.
Really. It's gonna be okay.
This is the guy who was looking
for something in the overhead bin.
- Mike?
- Matt Calter.
_
Australian commodities broker.
How you holding up, cupcake?
Yeah, all right. Never better.
Heh. Liar.
Hey, keep an eye out for anything relating
to those victims' passports, okay?
Might be the key.
I don't like this. BP is dropping.
- Should we bounce her?
- No!
Do not bounce me.
Sir, please make sure your
watch is on airplane mode.
It is. I'm just setting
it for Los Angeles time.
Okay, thank you.
Babe, if you're tired,
you should take a nap.
It's too cold to sleep.
I'm sorry, but you
need to sit back down.
I'm just looking for my passport.
I understand, but you'll have to look
for it after we're on the ground.
Okay, Matt's passport's missing. It
couldn't have been connected to his death.
Lucky I found this.
Death moment in five seconds.
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
I was wrong. Matt did have his passport,
and he had it in the pocket
next to his heart when he died.
Dammit, I don't even know
what we're looking for.
There is nothing unusual
about any of these.
Maybe that's the point.
I mean, unusual would stand out.
Something ordinary could be a clue?
Okay. Um, standard stitching and paper,
a page for a signature and data,
machine-readable zone...
Fishy, knife.
Don't hurt yourself.
Oh, I'll try not to.
All passports have radio
frequency chips embedded in them.
Could that be something?
RFID chips just store information,
that's it.
- Knife.
- No, when I'm ready.
Hey, is she okay?
Her headache's gone,
and I gave her a shot
of B-12 and glucose
to help with the fatigue
and low blood-sugar,
but we have to make sure she
eats between the stitches.
Ayo, is she okay?
Look, she's doing something no one's
ever done before. I don't know.
Alex, how quickly can we switch
out samples in the corpse cassette?
Go from one to the other?
Yeah. Without Kirsten having to bounce.
Hot swapping?
Should be possible. As long as the
next subject's memory is mapped out.
Minute. Minute and a half, tops.
Good. Get victim number six cued up,
I'll coordinate with Linus.
_
Listen up, boys and girls, we're going to
try something new. Kirsten's burning out.
Cameron, I'm fine.
You're burning out. So in order for
her to get through this in one piece,
she's gonna stitch in for two minutes
before moving on to the next subject.
But every time Kirsten
bounces we have to reset?
- That's why she's not gonna bounce.
- Really?
We're gonna move your awareness
to stasis for one minute
while we switch out victim number
five for victim number six.
One stitch, two samples.
That'll spare Kirsten, and the rest of
us, from having to make an extra stitch
that she may or may not recover from.
Is two minutes enough time to
get anything out of a stitch?
It'll have to be. Lights at 20%, please.
Mission clock set to
two minutes, please.
All right, Kirsten, when you're in there,
you won't have much time to explore, so...
Strictly smash and grab job. Got it.
Thank you, Cameron.
Of course.
Induce first stitch neurosync on my mark
in three, two, one, mark.
Sir, please make sure your
watch is on airplane mode.
It is. I'm just setting
it for Los Angeles time.
Thank you.
Dude, can I squeeze past you?
Sure.
Nervous guy writing a letter.
Death moment. Going offline... now!
Okay, Kirsten, we're
moving you to stasis.
All right, let's switch her out,
let's go, let's go! Kirsten, one minute.
Okay. Please, hurry.
Ready to move.
BP starting to escalate.
Move sample.
Need some help over here!
She needs to slow down her breathing.
All right, Kirsten,
you're doing great, all right?
Just slow down your breathing,
we're almost done here.
Cameron, I'm in a void.
Um... I'm nowhere.
I'm nothing.
I'm all alone.
No. Not alone.
Who are you?
You look so tired, so scared.
I am.
Don't worry. I'll stay with you.
Stay with me, Kirsten.
Hooking up neural transmitter.
Must move faster, boys.
- Get the harness.
- Okay, on my go.
Get it up.
Coming up on 30 seconds.
I've been watching you stitch
into all those poor people.
You've got the right idea,
but you're going about it wrong.
What do you mean?
You need to see all of the victims'
memories at the same time
if you want to see all
the pieces of the puzzle.
But we can only stitch
into one person at a time.
Not true.
I'm gonna show you something. Ready?
Recognize that?
I picked it from your memory.
I remember.
My mother made that daisy chain for me.
It's also the answer you need to stitching
into multiple people at the same time.
We got it. Okay, go ahead.
We're good to go.
You're doing great, Kirsten.
You're doing great.
Induce second stitch neurosync
on my mark in three...
Thank you.
- Two, one...
- You're welcome.
Mark.
Two minutes. Plenty of time, Kirsten.
I won't need it.
There's nothing here to see.
I'm sorry, I...
I was so tired I didn't
map this memory properly.
So it's a wasted stitch.
Dammit, Kirsten, just make the bounce.
I'm sorry.
It's not his fault, Cameron.
We're all running on fumes here.
I know. I'm just frustrated.
Wait, there's one thing...
One thing that we haven't tried.
- Get her out of there!
- Kirsten!
- Somebody get the team in here!
- Get that Med cart! Go!
What happened?
You passed out in the tank.
Pulse ox is 93. Almost back to normal.
How do you feel?
Surprisingly refreshed.
How do you really feel?
- I'm fine.
- And we're gonna keep you that way.
- Okay, we're done.
- No, what? We can't be.
There's less than three hours left. This
was a nearly impossible task to begin with.
We'll keep at it with the
evidence we've already gathered.
No, that's not enough.
The killer will walk free.
We have to do one more stitch.
All five victims with viable
memories at the same time.
You are disoriented from passing out.
No. No, I need to see the entire
passenger section of the plane
from all perspectives at once.
- Can we even do that?
- In theory,
but I don't know how.
We daisy chain the subjects.
We arrange four of them
around the corpse cassette,
and have them all interconnected
the the subject inside.
Interesting. What gave you that idea?
Just popped into my head.
We could use the optogenetics
harnesses from the university.
That could work.
Hold on. Is it safe to send her into
the memories of five victims at once?
On a normal day, maybe,
but I don't know.
I mean, we are on the edge of the map.
We need to be sure.
Guys...
12 people are dead, okay?
And the killer is waiting to
hop on a plane to Australia.
We can't just let him or
her fly off into the sunset.
Get the harnesses.
I hate grape.
Gotta keep your electrolytes up.
I got it!
Cal Tech was cool with
you borrowing these?
If by borrowing you mean breaking
into the lockers where they're kept
and shoving them in grocery bags before
walking out, yeah, they're very cool.
All right, once we
harness all the subjects
together, we'll wire them up
like a daisy chain.
I'll network all five
memories into my console.
- How long?
- 15 minutes.
You have 10.
Listen up, Daisy-Mae.
I don't know what to expect in there,
so keep your cool,
and at the first sign of trouble...
I'll bounce. Don't worry.
Fasten your seatbelt,
it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Lights at 20%, please.
Induce multiple stitch
neurosyncs on my mark
in three, two, one, mark.
I understand, but you'll have to look
for it after we're on the ground.
Lucky I found this.
_
But his name's Vincent, not Jay...
Who, Kirsten?
Half the money is in your account.
Once you're out...
I'll deposit the other half.
You and Maria...
will be set for life.
Here. Keep this right here.
Get used to the name "Vincent Grant."
I'm Jay Kolder now.
Got it.
The two men in the terminal,
Vincent and Jay,
they swapped identities.
The man with the smartwatch
is really Vincent Grant.
It is. I'm just setting
it for Los Angeles time.
Okay. Thank you.
Dude, can I squeeze past you?
Sure.
Jay told Deedee that he was
setting his smartwatch for LA time.
He lied. He started a
timer for 45 seconds.
Death moment in five seconds!
Kirsten, bounce in four, three...
Good morning, this is
your captain speaking.
We are making our final
descent into Los Ang...
So, the Vincent Grant
that died on the plane
was actually Jay Kolden.
He was paid to swap identities and go to
prison in place of the real Vincent Grant.
People won't look for you
if they think you're dead.
Is Vincent Grant a known fugitive?
Oh, a push notice.
Vincent Grant is a known alias
for a high-tech arms dealer on the FBI's
most wanted list. So that's a big yes.
Then Vincent must have
turned his smartwatch
into an electromagnetic field emitter.
That explains the flickering lights.
And not just that, but an EMF
could interact with an RFID chip
to create an electrical
charge strong enough
to mess up the natural
rhythm of a person's heart.
An instant heart attack.
And Vincent made sure that Jay had
his passport right over his heart.
Jay was the real target.
Anyone else who had their passport in their
front pocket was just collateral damage.
Tell me we can still get this bastard?
24 hours was up five minutes ago.
Vincent and the rest of the
passengers were just released.
And, according to the updated manifest,
the passenger formerly known as Jay
Kolden, 7C is no longer on the flight.
Meaning he could be
anywhere at this point.
And if he's smart,
he's using a different name.
I saw something else on the smartwatch
in an earlier stitch. Hand me a notepad.
- Here.
- Thanks.
Does this mean anything to anyone?
That looks like the logo
for the Tokyo metro system.
I did a semester abroad.
Look familiar?
That's it.
The Tokyo metro system has an
app available for smartwatches.
Find out when the next flight leaves
LAX for Tokyo. You can ID him?
I've seen his face enough
in the last 24 hours.
- Go get him.
- Okay.
Boarding call
for flight 1205 to Tokyo...
You see Vincent?
There.
Hey, whoa. Hang back.
- I don't want to make a scene.
- Okay.
Make things difficult,
Vincent, and you'll regret it.
Who are you?
LAPD, NSA, take your pick.
They didn't even offer us coffee
so I had to stand in this giant
line just to get my latte.
Listen, I want a new laptop
waiting for me when I get there.
I know how you killed those people.
Which means you know how I'm
gonna kill everyone around me
who has a passport near their heart
unless you let me walk out of here.
I'm not gonna let you do that.
October 2003.
What about it?
That was the date that the LAPD
first started embedding RFID
chips into their ID cards.
Just like that one.
Goodbye, Detective.
Excuse me!
Aagh!
Good going.
Oh, uh...
Thanks.
Crap.

I figured you'd be passed out by now.
I forgot to tell you Nina
called you yesterday.
You should call her back.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll get on that.
- How you feeling?
- Exhausted.
Maybe it's the jet lag?
Ha ha, it's way too early for jokes.
I'll see you in three
days after I wake up.
Okay. Sweet dreams.
Mmm...
Hello?
It's Ivy.
I've changed my mind. When can we meet?
