Previously on Alphas...
I found it.
The shipment that arrived in New York from Stanton Parish's factory.
This is it. The manifest.
It says, "Industrial Electronics."
Boxes were here. Thousands of them.
Parish already has them.
Who are you?
I'm Stanton Parish.
I'm here to make you an offer.
A child like Zoe, she needs an environment that she can thrive in, as do you.
And you think you're gonna come here and start giving us orders?
Rosen invited us. What?
He told me I had free access to all the intel.
The investigation is not gonna be run by this team.
Cley's back at our office, rifling through our stuff!
You're seriously gonna trust this to him?
Show me your hands! Right now.
Hey, what's your name?
Uh, uh, Mitchell.
Why are you locked in this room?
I have to be here. I'm very important.
Yeah? Says who?
Stanton Parish.
So, he touches you, right, and zap, he records
whatever memory you're thinking about.
So you're a Total Recall Alpha.
Hello, Mitchell.
Can you show me the last time you spoke with Mr. Parish?
I promise you,
you will grow old in a better world than I have.
Parish won't let you keep Mitchell chipped. He'll come for him.
Let him come.
It's all right, baby.
It's gonna be okay.
What's so funny? You, "The Baby Whisperer."
Yeah? I think you're a little jealous.
I'm not jealous. Nah, you are.
Well, maybe I'm a little jealous. I can tell.
Maybe a little. All right,
because you have been great with this kid.
When it comes time for us
to have our own,
you'll be great with them, too.
Right? Even if I am,
what kind of world are they gonna grow up in?
No, no, no. We're not gonna have this conversation about Parish.
Things are getting so weird, and...
Smell that? Fresh air...
Look out! Look out!
Come here, okay? Stay here.
Stay down.
Hey, listen up.
We've got one dead, three injured.
This is the sixth attack on the power grid this week.
There's no discernible pattern to the attacks,
but on the bright side,
in a day or two we'll have these power grid protectors in place everywhere.
So Parish will have a hard time keeping this up.
The DOD says Parish is building up to something big.
Since his last plan targeted the entire city,
we're expecting this one to be even bigger.
And according to these intercepts,
it's gonna happen within the next few days.
Next few days.
Well, two days from now is October 22nd.
Yes.
October 22nd, 1862.
A Union officer was shot in the head and apparently killed.
Incoming!
Then he miraculously came back to life.
And that is when Stanton Parish discovered he was an Alpha.
So what are you saying? This is some sort of twisted birthday party?
Yes.
A hundred and fifty years to the day.
Terrorists love anniversaries.
Look, the plan is to keep pressuring his organization.
D.C. Thinks that if we push hard enough,
eventually something's gonna snap.
The best lead that we have is that electronics shipment that we almost intercepted.
That's gotta be a part of this.
We don't even know what Parish was planning to do with those computers.
Yeah, well, that's why Rachel is looking for Skylar Adams.
Skylar knows how to figure these things out.
If we can find her.
I'm doing my best. But Skylar is very good at not being found.
Folks, we're talking about two days from now.
We're still boxing in the dark.
We need to find a way to Parish and find it fast.
Now, we've got to get inside Parish's head.
Mitchell Morgan. Page 4.
If you want to get inside Parish's head, he's the answer.
Parish's memory guy?
Yes. But I thought Parish was only using him
to store sentimental stuff.
Yes, he did. I think there may be a way to dig deeper.
But we'd need to move him to a more appropriate facility,
and New York Psychiatric has a secure unit.
You want me to transport a high-value asset out of Building Seven
in the middle of all this?
Yes, that is what I'm asking.
I'd... I could go with you.
Mitchell knows me. I can make him more comfortable.
I'd rather you not, Kat.
I'm freshly trained in all this stuff,
and what I don't know, I can learn in, like, 10 minutes.
Well, learning is not quite the same thing as applying.
Doc, she aced Quantico in two weeks.
Bill... Look, the clock's ticking.
I'll take whatever help I can get.
All right, fine. Just get it done.
Sir.
We're stocked up on meds, transportation's in place. Doctors are reporting soon.
Have we gotten what we need from Skylar Adams yet?
Vince is working as fast as he can.
That is simply not good enough.
I'll have a word with Vincent.
It's all coming together now.
People will be scared. They'll need a place to go,
for the transition.
That was Danielle's idea.
Her legacy.
Yeah, Jeannie.
Look, sweetie. Just stay at your mom's. You'll be all right.
Okay? Yeah, I love you, too.
Yeah, kiss the baby.
All right, bye.
That Jeannie? How is she?
She's traumatized, of course.
Bill, I think I have an alternative approach to this whole thing.
A way to take it directly to Parish.
That's great, because I'm expecting a conference call from D.C. Right now.
I'll run it by them and see if it flies.
Speaking of which.
Harken. Yeah?
You don't want to do that.
No. This is strictly unofficial.
You understand?
Do I understand? You...
Can you hold, please?
Do I understand?
Parish's organization is huge and nasty,
and about to pull the trigger on something big.
Now, Cley needs all of us to be rowing in the same direction, okay?
That's NYPD, that's DOD,
and us. I realize that.
Look, you either grab an oar or get the hell out the boat.
We don't have time to do anything cute.
Knock, knock. Yeah?
Sorry to interrupt.
You got that, right?
No, not you. Yeah.
Yeah. No, you're right.
Of course. Okay.
He didn't go for it.
His involvement isn't critical.
What if he gets in our way?
Well, let's just hope he doesn't.
Good luck.
All right. Give me five. Mmm-hmm.
Okay, lead vehicle, call in your turns.
Advance team, maintain lock-up.
Copy that.
You really think Rosen can get more intel out of this guy?
Yeah. Nobody knows Parish as well as Mitchell.
It sucks he's chipped. He was a good guy to road trip with.
Yeah, if you say so.
Hey, blondie, you're following too close to the lead vehicle. Fifty feet.
Maintain a constant driving speed.
Hey, how about we switch? You drive and I boss you around?
My feet won't reach the pedals.
Kat, are you okay? Yeah.
Watch Mitchell!
Damn it! It's Scipio!
Come on! Red team with me!
Blue team stay with the truck!
Holy crap!
Put him down! Now!
Ow.
Come on! Come on!
Keep moving! Go! Go!
Blue team, fan out!
Up the stairwells.
The area's secured. There's no sign of him.
Where the hell did he go? There's no way he got past us.
- I lost Mitchell, too. - Nothing here!
Damn it! Cover the exits! RED Yes, sir!
Spread out!
Don't take no for an answer
There's no telling where we've been
Because people don't understand, understand, understand
People don't understand
People like me
So the Feds don't have Scipio.
I don't know where the hell he is.
We'll deal with that in due time.
Almost done.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're all dismissed.
I said dismissed, Mr. Kowalka.
Mitchell?
Hey, Stanton.
How are you feeling?
Uh, my neck hurts.
We removed the chip they inserted.
It's really good to see you again.
May I?
Yeah.
They're gone.
Rosen did this, didn't he?
He erased my memories.
Dr. Rosen.
Yeah.
He, uh...
He gave me an IV
and, uh, a few injections about three days ago.
No...
About four days ago.
After that,
all the extra stuff is just gone.
It's funny.
For the first time in years,
I actually feel like...
Like me.
You know? Like me.
You were right. Parish took the bait.
Did we get what we need? Yeah. I just...
I feel bad for Kat.
Yes, so do I, but she'll forget everything in two weeks.
At least that's something. I just wish we didn't have to go that far.
As do I, Nina.
Hicks.
It's them.
How is he?
Alive.
Is everything ready?
Yeah. He's still out.
I can smell the tranq working its way through his system.
I got this.
Wake up, sunshine.
We need to talk.
Hello, Cornell.
It's all come down to this, hasn't it?
Is this really who you want to be, Cornell?
Someone responsible for the death of millions of people? Is this what you really want?
What I want is a lawyer.
So, what? I don't have civil rights?
Why? 'Cause I'm not human?
You are very much a human, Cornell.
You just choose to deny the fact.
But there's still time.
Actually, there's a lot less time than you think, Doc.
Hey, you know, the way I'm tied up,
I could burn myself if I accidentally trigger my ability.
We wouldn't want that, would we?
I know it's bothered you for a very long time
how closely aligned your emotional state is with your ability.
But you've always wanted to transcend it.
Well, you can, right now.
Seriously?
That's the best you got?
Trying to head-shrink me into getting in touch with my humanity?
Where were you when I set my parents' house on fire?
No, you're 20 years too late, Doc.
We need to move things along.
Two weeks ago,
Parish shipped a large number of electronic components
from China to Newark.
What do you know about that? Gone.
They moved.
Where did they go?
Parish doesn't tell me. It's above my pay grade.
Were there other shipments?
Answer her.
Hundreds. Stuff's been coming in for months.
Ask him about Parish.
Where is he? Where's Stanton Parish?
Where is he right now?
Where is Stanton Parish?
Answer me! Where's he right now?
Wouldn't you like to know?
The last time you spoke with Parish,
where did it take place? Bite me.
Nina, he's blocked. Just like the senator.
Oh, yeah. I've got a vault in there, boys and girls.
It's ironclad.
Well, let's unlock it, shall we?
- Ooh. - Rachel.
Amobarbital. Fifteen CCs.
Ambo-what?
Fifteen CCs. In.
You've gotta let it go, Kat, you know?
Sounds to me like you did your best.
Excuse me. Good morning. Good morning, sir.
Yeah, except I lost Mitchell
and Jeff Kowalka.
Plus, I had Cornell Scipio in my hands, and I let him go, too.
So, basically, I suck.
Well, sometimes in life that happens. Really?
You know what? Okay. Really? You're gonna do that?
Yeah, because we've got more important things to worry about.
Tomorrow is the 22nd. Yeah, I know. The world's gonna end.
Look, Rosen said that Mitchell was the key to everything, right?
So we just...
We just recheck the scene. Maybe I missed something.
Call Rachel, okay? That's her department.
Yeah, I thought of that. I can't get through.
Did you try Nina? Nina always knows where she is.
Yeah, I thought of that, too. She's not answering her phone.
In fact, I haven't seen either of them since yesterday.
What? Should we be worried?
No, why don't you go check the scene?
Hicks? Hic...
Hicks?
- I'll take care of it. Hicks! - Bill! Bill!
Gary, what are you doing here? I figured it out.
Good for you. I... Oh, thanks.
You're supposed to be at the hospital? No, sarcasm.
No, Gary, go back and spend time with your mother.
Oh! No, they kicked me out, though.
The head nurse said that I was disruptive,
and I said that she looked like an animal.
But then when I was in the cab...
All right, Gary, get to the point.
What's the point, Gary? Oh, I was scanning for Skylar in the cab, Bill.
Rachel? And the cab had GPS, which is crazy,
because New York streets are on a numbered grid.
They don't even need a GPS, Bill. All right. Gary, Gary.
Yeah? We're gonna be dead by the time you finish this story.
No, Bill. It was the chip. Doc?
The cab had a chip. And Skylar has a chip.
It's in her arm. She uses it to communicate with her wasps.
So, I just... I ping it,
and now she knows that I wanna communicate. She's gonna call me back.
Hey, Didge,
do you hear that buzzing?
You need to finish or Vince won't bring me popsicles.
I'm going as fast as I can.
You really don't hear that?
Maybe it's the phone? Where's the phone?
We don't have one.
We don't have a phone?
Why don't we have a phone?
We just don't.
Vince!
Hey, Zoe! How's it going, Ms. Adams?
It's Skylar.
Yes, ma'am.
Popsicles! Popsicles!
Your wish is my command.
Thanks. You're welcome.
Orange, my favorite.
You always know exactly what she wants.
I'm just trying to make her happy.
Is, uh, this for me?
Well, it's not done yet.
I still haven't found a way to get it to cut bone
without releasing a crapload of bacteria.
You promised me it would be done.
You don't want to get me in trouble, do you?
Oh, no. I want to do this for you.
Good.
I have an idea.
Why don't I look after Zoe for a little while,
so that you can, uh, concentrate on your work?
Thanks. You're welcome.
Zoe!
How much longer?
What's your problem?
I got you a lot of stuff already. I mean...
I mean, all kinds of tech. That first thing she did for you,
that flashy thing,
you acted like it was Christmas...
What is my problem?
I want that device, and I need it now.
All right, look, man. Something's wigging her out, okay?
I am trying to keep her focused.
You have no idea how hard that is.
Nor do I care.
You promised me you'd get the job done.
I intend to hold you to that.
Understood?
Uh-huh.
Focus on the walls.
Are they white? Are they blue?
Are they green? Focus!
You can ask the question any way you want.
The answer's gonna be the same.
Up your ass.
Nina, deep breaths. Your pulse is racing. I just...
I just need a break.
We need to get through. We have a day, maybe two.
Listen to me. Nina's exhausted!
And Scipio's blood pressure is topping off at 200 systolic.
You're sweating quite a bit right now.
If I were you, I wouldn't get too excited.
Dr. Rosen!
We are in over our heads.
I have friends at the CIA that do this for a living.
It is time to call in the experts.
No. We're the damn experts.
Now, you know Parish has people everywhere.
How the hell else do you think they knew that Mitchell was being transferred, hmm?
Rachel, we're not calling anyone else.
We're doing this ourselves.
There's some aminorex in there.
Prepare a 5 CC injection, please.
Aminorex? Yes, 5 CCs right now.
Hicks, aminorex can be dangerous.
What are we doing here?
Getting answers.
Are we really?
Because it seems like all we're doing is bashing Nina's head up against the wall.
What if Scipio's a dead end, huh?
What if we're wasting time? Look, the only one wasting time is you.
Get what Rosen wants, and get it in there.
Five CCs of aminorex.
But it won't lower his pressure,
and it will not bring down his resistance.
It's a stimulant, Dr. Rosen. I know.
It's for me, Rach.
I'm sorry. I just...
I couldn't break through.
You did your best.
Now it's my turn.
Cameron.
I have another idea.
Gary, come on. I need something from you.
Skylar is ignoring me, still.
It's annoying. I hate that, though... Hey, look into those things.
...when people ignore me.
Gary, listen. I need you to look for, uh, Rosen.
Bill! You're ignoring me.
I was talking about Skylar. Gary.
This is important, okay?
Yeah, there's no signal.
Just like Nina and Hicks. They're all out of range?
No, no. They probably just took the batteries out of their phones.
Gary, why would three people take the batteries out of their phones?
I don't know. Hey. Hey,
I went back and checked the scene.
I found something.
It kind of sucks.
Tranq dart. It's one of ours.
I found that where Scipio disappeared.
Lab confirms blood on the tip is his.
Oh, he was darted.
I... I hate that, being darted. Gary, could you just...
Come on. On the DL.
Quiet.
I already checked with John. Nobody on the tac team had tranq guns.
Which leads to the question, "Who tranqed him?"
Harken.
I'm just going to go in here for a second.
That smells.
I need to finish this.
Ah!
Mommy, are you okay?
It didn't hurt.
That's good.
It should.
Something's wrong.
What are you doing? Looking at something.
What is that? Are you a terminator?
It's a transceiver.
I made it.
It controls my wasps.
Where are my wasps?
So why is it bothering you?
Someone is trying to call us.
Maybe we should call them back, then?
Ow, ow.
Huh. It's Skylar.
No! No!
Baby!
Meg?
What did you do to her?
You wanted to be a tough guy, right? Hmm?
We're just getting started.
I'll let you two catch up.
Son of a bitch!
I'm okay. Don't tell them anything.
I haven't told them crap.
Those blocks, they work like a charm.
What are they after?
What do you think? Parish.
They want to know where he is.
He's safe, right? He's isn't still at the house, is he?
Why?
I'm worried. I...
I can't think straight.
I'm so sorry, Meg.
I missed you.
You know what's been getting me by?
Thinking about
you and me up at Saranac Lake. You remember that cabin?
Yeah. Yeah.
It's so pretty up there.
Nice try, bitch. Meg hates the mountains.
She's got allergies.
You kidnap me,
you beat me, you drug me, and now you try to mind-rape me?
No, I can do this. No.
She doesn't look very good. Come here.
Hey, Doc.
I was wondering
what it's like
to be betrayed by your own daughter?
I mean, you sent her to her death,
but she was a liar. She was a traitor.
She deserved to die, I think.
Don't you?
Cornell, when you set your family's home on fire
when you were 15, did you ever wonder
what your mother and father and sister felt
when they were burning to death? Hmm?
Or how your other victims feel
when you, uh...
How did you put it when we first talked?
You make their skin sizzle?
Drop dead, Doc.
This is adrenaline.
And you know that it triggers your ability.
And while your hands may be fire resistant,
the rest of you is not.
You wouldn't.
This has gone far enough.
He's a murderer.
This is just about revenge, isn't it?
If you don't like it, cover your ears.
I can't stay here.
Rachel.
I can smell Scipio's flesh burning.
Skylar?
What are you doing? Leaving.
Zoe, you stay there, okay?
Mom! You don't have to do that.
This is a safe place.
Really?
How did I get here? What did you do to me?
What did you do to my daughter? I just helped you to be happy.
For a change.
Happiness
is a warm gun.
I'm trying to be nice.
If you're nice, then I'll be nice,
and this place will be nice.
If you're not, well...
You don't want this place to stop being nice.
Zoe! Mommy, help!
Run!
Zoe!
There's no way out!
Unless you do as you're told!
Zoe!
It's only gonna get worse.
There's no way out.
There's no way out! Zoe!
You're terrified.
- Zoe! Zoe! - There's no way out.
Mitchell, hope you're feeling better.
A little empty, actually.
All this stuff, it, uh...
Looks like it's really important.
That is correct.
Tomorrow, the world is gonna change.
People may want to understand what I was feeling or thinking,
my intentions.
You still have your ability.
Yeah.
Would you allow me?
Yeah.
I'm about to change the world.
It's just a shame that so many people have to die.
I told you where they are! I don't know anything else!
I need more, Cornell. I need more details.
Doc, we've got three DOD SUVs outside.
Oh, we need to go.
I can't take the chance of anybody finding out what I know.
It'll leak to Parish. You bet your ass it will.
It's Harken and Kat outside.
What the hell, Rach? You were supposed to be listening for people.
You called them?
You said it. We were running out of time.
You just didn't want to get your hands dirty.
Not this dirty.
It's all right, Rachel.
Let's go, Nina.
I'll stay with Rachel. You go.
Just go.
Go! Move, move, move!
Oh, my God.
What the hell did you people do?
I cannot believe Rosen screwed me again.
The glasses, the messy hair, the cardigans.
He seems like such a nice old dude.
Please tell me that you got something useful out of Scipio.
Rosen said he got what he needed,
whatever that is.
And Rachel... Rachel was on the phone with us.
Tomorrow is October 22nd, okay?
We've got a lot of work to do, and we're losing time.
We all have work to do. We need to get back to the office.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Them, too?
Harken, you saw what they did in there.
They went totally medieval on him.
She's right. We lied to you.
Yeah, you're a bunch of lying asses, but you know what?
I still need you. Let's go.
That's not too much to ask, is it? Right?
Yeah, all right.
So, please, go back to your offices and get it done. Hey!
I told you nice. Bill!
I got it.
Gary, what's going on? Wait.
I found them! I know where they are. Who? Hicks and Rosen?
No. Skylar and Zoe. I know where they are. But you have to pay Obeekay.
What? Obeekay, the cab driver.
He's from Nigeria.
He's feisty. All right.
- Okay, Bill, Bill, it's here. - All right, all right.
It's here.
Gary, where?
Oh, oh!
Hey! Hey!
Gary, stay in the car! No, no! It's my rescue, Bill.
Come on.
Zoe!
Easy, easy.
Put your hands where I can see 'em!
Easy. Easy...
Oh, oh!
Bill, I wanted to do that.
Zoe! Zoe!
Here, Gary. Cuff him.
Oh, yeah.
Zoe! It's okay. Easy, easy, easy.
You're safe now, okay?
Zoe?
Are you okay?
This place is gross.
Yeah, it is.
Skylar, how'd you get here?
Parish.
He asked me to work for him.
I told him to go screw himself.
I ended up in The Twilight Zone.
Scuzzball.
Skylar, these look like your designs.
Were they having you work on these in The Twilight Zone?
Skylar, what were you designing?
The end of the world.
Parish is preparing for a disaster.
One of his own making.
Parish is calling this an Adjustment Center.
Yeah, but an adjustment to what?
Look, whatever he's planning, he's planning to do it all over the place.
Look at this. Baltimore, Chicago...
Vegas.
Oh, Jesus. Tyler.
You've got to warn them.
Doc, I'm not leaving you here.
Cameron, you need to get all of this information to Bill.
Right now.
You have a family, I don't.
Now, go.
Okay. Okay, you take this.
You take this. You might need it. Okay?
Hurry.
I'll see you soon, huh? Yeah.
I'm sorry. I should have warned you about the convoy.
It's just I didn't... Look,
if we're still alive in a day or two, we'll talk about it.
John. No.
This is one of the things Parish made me build.
It's a mini photo-stim.
Oh, but there's no light bulb. Doesn't it need a light bulb?
Yeah, it has to be hooked up to something,
like a lamp or a computer screen.
Power goes in, flashes come out. It's like...
It's like a serotonin storm for the brain.
Which can cause seizures, like the one that happened to me, but...
Skylar, it actually boosted my Alpha ability.
It made everything better. Yeah. If you're an Alpha, sure.
It's like steroids.
Okay, so increased ability,
more control.
- Well, that's cool. I want that. Everyone would. - Yeah, except
what happens to people who aren't Alphas?
Mostly?
They die.
Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
So how many of these were on that shipping container?
Thousands? Scipio said there were hundreds of shipments.
Hundreds of shipments?
Yeah, and these are much smaller than we thought.
So there could actually be millions.
We'd better start looking for them, then.
Where the hell have you been? Where's Rosen?
Why don't you have Lee?
We went after Parish.
What the hell do you mean?
We've been up in Yonkers. We found something.
Just stop and listen to me!
Whatever Parish is planning on doing,
he's planning on doing it everywhere.
So, what? You just leave Rosen there?
- He wasn't done. - Of course not.
He's trying to take out Parish on his own?
We'll send some people over there to deal with that.
Millions of lives are at stake because of this thing.
This is what's important.
This is what matters now.
That's the last grid protector for the day.
Wanna grab a beer? I got book club tonight.
I'd cancel, but Her Royal Highness would have a heart attack.
Another time.
Mitchell?
Dr. Rosen.
Where's Parish? Is he here?
I have a plan to change the world.
It's just such a shame that so many people have to die.
He's given you his memories again, hasn't he?
I'm going to watch the world change with a God's-eye view.
What do you mean, a "God's-eye view"?
What is that?
What? In an airplane? What?
I'm so hungry. Do you have an apple?
They used to grow apples right around here.
Listen, they're going to be coming for you.
You need to hide somewhere for two days.
Two days.
Hey, Dr. Rosen.
Parish wants you alive.
Me? Never really saw the point.
Adios, Doc.
