00:00Previously on The Institute.
00:19Look, I've been thinking about what you said about those motion cameras in the hallways.
00:22How they can detect your body.
00:23I don't care.
00:23Figure if we can get to the AC closet, maybe we can find a way to raise the temperature
00:28enough to produce that motion white-out you were talking about.
00:31I can't take you all the way to the fence, but I can get you close.
00:35Be in the laundry room by 11.30, not a minute later.
00:38I'm Kate.
00:39Kate the Great.
00:42What do you do, Kate?
00:43I run the local paper.
00:46Denison Weekly Standard.
00:47Journalist.
00:48Anybody ever really, really look into The Institute?
00:52I mean, like the chief or inspection or anything?
00:55I'm sure it's federal.
00:56We don't have jurisdiction.
00:58What exactly goes on in there, man?
01:00Infectious disease research.
01:02Really?
01:03It's the new Denison Nightknocker, the one I told you about.
01:06The one who was talking to the crazy woman?
01:08Yeah.
01:09We should have taken him out, too.
01:11You agreed it wasn't a problem unless she mentioned us.
01:15Well, clearly it's a problem.
01:17We're a popular target for conspiracy theorists.
01:21We've decided it best to confront them directly.
01:25Let you're past the fence.
01:34Just head downhill right to the river.
01:37You're going to have to cross that river and then walk downstream until you get to the Red Steps.
01:41I'll come and pick you up once I'm off shift.
01:44I know a reporter.
01:46They're going to tell your story.
01:47What is this?
01:52Show the world what goes on here.
01:54Shout, shout, let it all out.
02:22These are the things I can do without you.
02:28Come on.
02:30I'm talking to you.
02:33Come on.
02:34You shouldn't have to sell your soul in black and white.
02:52I'm talking to you.
03:07Come on.
03:12I'm talking to you.
03:15Come on.
05:47I'll come and get you once I'm off shift.
06:57Oh, uh, is there a problem?
07:01Miss Sixby's not in her office.
07:03We can't find her on any of the cameras.
07:06But the log says she hasn't left.
07:09Any idea where she might be?
07:12Actually, I do.
07:16I know maintenance is short on manpower.
07:20I know maintenance is short on manpower.
07:32I know maintenance is short on manpower.
07:34Don't tell me they've pressed you into service.
07:37When the air conditioning was on the fritz yesterday, I figured it was just another sign of this place being run down.
07:44Sloppiness, but then maintenance got around sloppiness, but then maintenance got around to fixing it.
07:48Turns out it wasn't sloppiness after all.
07:52Sabotage.
07:55If one of us, if one of us, if one of us, if one of us, if one of us, if one of us, if one of our staff wanted to fuck this place, there's a thousand ways more effective.
08:01Who said anything about staff?
08:02Who said anything about staff?
08:02Who said anything about staff?
08:04Child.
08:05Which one?
08:07Oh, which one do you think?
08:09Ellis.
08:10Are you certain?
08:12Well, he's due for the box.
08:15I'll just tell Tony to keep him in a couple of extra minutes.
08:17I braced the night knocker.
08:19And?
08:20Is he from upstairs?
08:21Almost certainly not.
08:23My Reed, he really is just a drifter.
08:29Happened to drift here.
08:31So, not worth killing.
08:34I'm not saying that.
08:36What are you saying?
08:38I've met guys like him in the forces, other places.
08:42Once they get a hold of something, you have to pry their jaws open to make them let go.
08:48He won't stop.
08:51So we stop him.
09:01Let's go.
09:02I'm not saying that.
09:03Okay.
09:04I'm going to give you the rest of your footsteps.
09:05Next.
09:06Let's go.
09:07Get out of here.
09:08Get out of here.
09:09Get out of here.
09:10I'm going to get them, let's go.
09:11Get out of here.
09:12Now we go.
13:44Hey.
13:45You've really been out there all night?
13:48Uh, yeah.
13:51Yeah, I guess I have.
13:52You find anything at least?
13:54I'm not sure.
13:55I think I found a spot where Zoe Sloan and her friends used to hang out in some kind of cabin or something.
14:03It's been torn down.
14:05Not much of it left.
14:06It's probably Stackhouse.
14:06You're probably lying about them the same way you're lying about them the same way you're lying about them the same way I lied about Annie.
14:09That might be a leap.
14:12Why don't you come back?
14:13Tell me about it.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Yeah, I will.
14:17I just...
14:18I can't help but feel that I can't help but I can't help but feel that I'm missing something.
14:21I can't help but feel that I'm missing something, you know?
14:22Something here is very wrong and nobody seems to give a shit and I am the only one that...
14:26I give a shit.
14:28Look, something's wrong.
14:29I get it.
14:30Come back.
14:31I'll help you figure out what it is.
14:32Also, I need my fucking car.
14:40Tim?
14:41Are you there?
14:42I gotta get to work in like an hour.
14:44Sorry.
14:45I'm coming back now.
14:47Thanks.
14:48Okay.
15:02Maureen?
15:12Yes, sir?
15:16Yes, sir.
15:17Right away.
15:21Mr. Stackhouse needs to see you in maintenance.
15:26I'll hold your stuff.
15:28He said it shouldn't take long.
15:31Okay.
15:32A guard says he found them in the back half rickyard.
16:01And I thought no one ever goes back there.
16:03Mostly they don't.
16:05What if one of the kids had found them?
16:07Kids back there are hardly in finding shape.
16:10I want to know who signed them out of maintenance.
16:12There must be a record.
16:13There it is.
16:14And it doesn't interest you which of our employees is capable of this level of carelessness.
16:23Why, so you can fire them?
16:24Julia, you can't complain about a staffing shortage and then try to fire the people you do have over every little thing.
16:33What happened to you?
16:35Excuse me?
16:35There was a time you never would have tolerated this kind of breach.
16:40If you're unhappy with my performance, you can suggest our employers let me go.
16:46You hate they gave me this place.
16:48Don't you?
16:51Passed over for a girl you trained.
16:54Passed over for a girl.
16:56Our employers, in their wisdom, decided we were best served with an administrator at the helm.
17:03Not my place to question it.
17:05Your jealousy is making you sloppy, Trevor.
17:13Is there something you wanted to say, Julia?
17:17Was it Dr. Hendricks?
17:22I notice you two have been spending a great deal of time together.
17:31Find out who dropped the fucking scissors.
17:33I want to talk to them.
18:03I want to talk to them.
18:05I want to talk to them.
18:06I want to talk to them.
18:07I want to talk to them.
18:08I want to talk to them.
18:09I want to talk to them.
18:10I want to talk to them.
18:11I want to talk to them.
18:12I want to talk to them.
18:13I want to talk to them.
18:14I want to talk to them.
18:15I want to talk to them.
18:16I want to talk to them.
18:17I want to talk to them.
18:18I want to talk to them.
18:19I want to talk to them.
18:20I want to talk to them.
18:21I want to talk to them.
18:22I want to talk to them.
18:23I want to talk to them.
18:24I want to talk to them.
18:25I want to talk to them.
18:26I want to talk to them.
18:27I want to talk to them.
18:28Hi, this is Maureen Alverson.
18:52Yes, that's right.
18:55You remember you said if I ever wanted to talk?
18:58Well, I got a story that makes Watergate look like a walk in the park.
19:01Anyway, I got your source all ready to go.
19:04I was going to bring him to you, but...
19:07I'm afraid there's been a change of plans.
19:11Yeah.
19:12Looks like I may not make it out of here.
19:15So, I need you to meet him yourself.
19:21Get him somewhere safe.
19:22Make sure the world hears his story.
19:25Marie, then I'll let him cover all that.
19:30You wouldn't believe me anyway.
19:33He's expecting to meet me at the Red Steps.
19:38Can you get there?
19:42Don't worry about a thing.
19:45You're a good person, Maureen.
19:47Thanks.
20:04Anyone with eyes on caretaker Alverson?
20:07She's wanted in May now.
20:08Nope.
20:11I don't know.
20:20Focus on level.
20:20No.
20:20No.
20:21No.
20:21No.
20:22No.
20:22No.
20:22No.
20:23No.
20:24No.
20:24No.
20:24A nightmare.
20:25No.
20:26No.
20:26No.
20:28No.
20:29No.
20:30No.
20:30No.
20:30Close those conversations.
20:31No.
20:31No.
20:31No.
20:32No.
20:33No.
20:34Are you okay?
20:53You need some help?
20:55Hey, wait, wait.
20:56Whoa, whoa, what's up?
20:57It's okay.
20:58It's okay.
20:58I'm not gonna hurt you.
20:59Stop.
20:59Stop.
21:00Don't come any closer.
21:01Okay.
21:02Okay.
21:03Easy.
21:03Just take it easy.
21:07Are you with them?
21:09Who?
21:10Am I with who?
21:12It's okay, kid.
21:13I'm a cop, okay?
21:14Well, I'm sort of a cop.
21:16My name is Tim.
21:17Who's done this to you?
21:18Was it one of your parents?
21:18No!
21:28My parents were dead.
21:29I'm sorry to hear that.
21:38Look, I think you're telling the truth, but I'm not strong enough to be sure.
21:44Okay.
21:45God, I wish Avery were here.
21:47Who's Avery?
21:47Avery.
21:51Look, kid, you're pretty banged up.
21:52We should probably get you to a doctor or a hospital.
21:54No, no, no.
21:55I don't have time for that.
21:56I need to get to a place called the Red Steps.
21:58Do you know it?
22:01Why don't you have time for this?
22:02You're in trouble, huh?
22:02Look, you're not listening to me.
22:04I need to get to the Red Steps.
22:06You're not gonna believe me anyway.
22:10Why do you need to get to the Red Steps?
22:11Do you know it, man?
22:14Hey, boys.
22:17Here.
22:19Take this.
22:20You look like you're freezing.
22:24It's okay.
22:37So what's at the Red Steps?
22:38I'm supposed to be meeting someone there.
22:41Uh-huh.
22:42That's assuming Stackhouse doesn't sniffer out first.
22:45What?
22:47What'd you just say?
22:49They, they watch their staff all the time.
22:52They're paranoid about leaks.
22:54No, the name.
22:55What name did you just say?
23:00Stackhouse.
23:02He's the head of security.
23:05Okay.
23:06Okay.
23:08Here's what's gonna happen.
23:10We are gonna hike back up to my car.
23:11It's not far from the Red Steps.
23:13I will have cell reception there,
23:14and you can tell me everything on the way.
23:17You're gonna tell me your whole story, okay?
23:20You're never gonna believe me, you know?
23:23You'd be surprised what I might believe.
23:26Come on.
23:28Come on.
23:28Someone fucking get me, Maureen.
23:50Someone fucking get me, Maureen.
23:51Sixby.
23:53I suppose that makes sense.
23:55She made a call a few minutes ago.
23:59Said she wasn't gonna make it out of here.
24:00A call?
24:01She thought she was talking to a journalist.
24:03Fortunately, for a short-term survival, she called my journalist.
24:05You're welcome, by the way.
24:06She was leaking.
24:07She was doing more than that.
24:07She told my agent she'd just helped a kid escape.
24:11Impossible.
24:12Exactly.
24:13She was delusional.
24:41Zeke, I need, um, a locator check.
24:56On who?
24:57I already looked.
24:58They're all here.
24:59All of them.
25:00What?
25:01Just do it.
25:02I'm telling you, I've been through all this.
25:08Full house.
25:0928 locators in back half, including Gorky Park.
25:12Three in front half.
25:13One in the cafeteria, the other in their rooms.
25:17Yeah.
25:18I need visual confirmation.
25:20Are you serious?
25:21First order of business.
25:22Get someone in here.
25:23Cut down.
25:24Joanne.
25:24Go ahead.
25:25Joanne, I need a physical head count.
25:27Okay, got it.
25:28Gork's two.
25:29Stand by.
25:33We're checking front half ourselves.
25:36Close the door.
25:39Telekinesis.
25:43That's like, that's like the power to move shit with your mind.
25:46I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
25:48Yeah, you get that from inside my head?
25:49I don't need to if it's on your face.
25:51But you can read my mind?
25:53Sort of.
25:53I'm not very good at it.
25:55Mm-hmm.
25:56I can't get real words, really.
25:58Just feelings.
25:59I know how it sounds.
26:00You think I'm having some sort of break with reality or maybe the beginnings of schizophrenia.
26:04Don't worry, it's what I think.
26:07I didn't say that.
26:08I know Stackhouse is real.
26:09The rest of it is a little weird.
26:13Who's that?
26:15It's a flash drive.
26:16I know it's a flash drive.
26:17What's on it?
26:18No idea.
26:19Maureen gave it to me in case.
26:23You wouldn't happen to have a laptop on you, would you?
26:24Maureen, she's the housekeeper, orderly, whatever you say.
26:28When you meet her and then what?
26:31She takes me to talk to a reporter.
26:35You'll probably think I'm as crazy as you do.
26:38I didn't say that.
26:48Subject Benson confirmed.
26:49Joanne for Sixby.
27:13Go for Sixby.
27:14We're full up back here.
27:15Visual confirmation on 28S28.
27:18One to go.
27:19Zeke, where exactly is the locator on Subject Ellis?
27:26What do you mean, ma'am?
27:28I'm showing him directly in front of you.
27:30Range less than two meters.
27:31Come here.
27:49I want to take a look at your ear.
27:51Uh, that can wait.
27:52I mean, we should really keep moving.
27:54The wound is wide open.
27:56The last thing you need is it getting infected.
27:57Who knows what's in that river?
28:04You got the signal?
28:06Come on, look at my name.
28:07Luke Ellis.
28:07Minneapolis.
28:07I will.
28:08I will.
28:08I will.
28:08I will.
28:15I will.
28:46I'm really sorry, Luke.
29:05Minneapolispedia says that you're a person of interest.
29:11Yeah.
29:12Of course I am.
29:15These fucking people.
29:17What's that sort of person of interest?
29:19What's that?
29:20You're supposed to detain me now?
29:22Hmm?
29:23But it...
29:24Chief Bashworth.
29:25Chief?
29:26Yeah, it's Tim.
29:27I got an emergency here.
29:28I got a kid who said...
29:29Chief?
29:30What the fuck?
29:31What happened?
29:32The cone must have dropped.
29:35The signal's gone.
29:37It's weird, because we get on sight here.
29:40It's them.
29:41What?
29:42It's them.
29:43They know I'm gone.
29:44I warned Maureen.
29:45Tim, how far are the right steps?
29:47You don't really expect me to take you down there.
29:48There's just the two of us.
29:49We need to go back there.
29:50Fine!
29:51I'll go myself.
29:52Will you wait, please?
29:53I believe you, okay?
29:54I believe your story.
29:56All I want to do is help you.
29:57So if you can read minds, look into mine, and you'll see them telling me the truth.
30:08You don't really believe me.
30:10Not about all of it, but...
30:13You do want to help.
30:17That's fair.
30:19And the best thing you can do for me right now is just help me find Maureen.
30:27Okay?
30:28If I'm making it all up, there'll be no one up there anyway.
30:31Hmm?
30:33Fine.
30:36Fine.
30:37You're first.
30:44Hurry up, man.
30:45She's kind of loading her drawers.
31:01I'm guessing she goes up the chimney?
31:02As opposed to what?
31:04A proper burial?
31:06Where do we keep her till then?
31:08The security office.
31:10Not a word of this to anyone.
31:12Of course not, ma'am.
31:14You gonna call him?
31:15You know there's not a world in which this falls on only one of us.
31:22First escape in 70 years.
31:23Understood.
31:24Plenty of blame to spread around.
31:28And the second I pick up that phone, we're both going up in the chimney with Maureen.
31:32Of course, there's a chance.
31:33If we bring the boy back quickly enough, we never have to make the call.
31:38If we bring him back alive.
31:39My asset has orders not to damage him more than necessary.
31:40Can she handle that?
31:4114-year-old boy?
31:42I'd think so.
31:43I'm about to take a team to back her up.
31:44I'll do it.
31:45Julia, this is a field operation.
31:47Hasn't been that long.
31:48And I need you here anyway.
31:49I'll do it.
31:50I'll do it.
31:51Julia, this is a field operation.
31:52It hasn't been that long.
31:53And I need you here anyway.
31:54I'll do it.
31:55Julia, this is a field operation.
31:56It hasn't been that long.
31:58And I need you here anyway to hold down the fort in case the kids have some other thing planned.
32:05Just remember, you said it yourself.
32:07There's no version of this where only one person is going to be able to do it.
32:10I'll do it.
32:11I'll do it.
32:12Julia, this is a field operation.
32:13It hasn't been that long.
32:15And I need you here anyway to hold down the fort in case the kids have some other thing planned.
32:22Just remember, you said it yourself.
32:25There's no version of this where only one of us goes down.
32:30And I know whose head'll come off first and roll the farthest.
32:50Hey, hey, hang back a sec.
32:52I'm gonna go scope it out.
32:54If anything happens, you make your way to Denison and you talk to Chief John Ashworth.
32:59He will help you, okay?
33:01You got me?
33:03Yeah, okay.
33:07Stay there.
33:19Fuck this.
33:21Maureen?
33:22Holy shit.
33:23Hey, great.
33:24Hey.
33:25It's you.
33:26It's me.
33:27What are you doing out here?
33:28You said Maureen, right?
33:32You're here looking for Maureen?
33:33Well, she sent me.
33:37So I guess that means you've seen the boy.
33:38What boy?
33:39I just told you.
33:40Maureen.
33:41Maureen.
33:42Maureen sent me here to meet a boy.
33:43She said that she just helped him escape from the place she works.
33:47wants me to help him blow the whistle.

36:37What was that thing with the tree?
36:40That was you?
36:42Huh?
36:43Yes.
36:46All right.
36:51All right, we gotta go.
36:52Let's move.
37:02We should look for a big city.
37:05With a FBI office and a TV station.
37:10Somebody died.
37:12Okay?
37:13Gotta go to the police.
37:14We gotta fight Chief Ashworth.
37:15This woman shot at you.
37:19Yeah, Kate.
37:23Clearly, the Institute's got agents embedded into the local population.
37:27So don't you think the Chief...
37:29The Chief is not dirty.
37:30Okay, and I bet you would have said the same about Kate the Great before she tried to kill you.
37:33I met her one time.
37:34The Chief, I know.
37:35He's solid.
37:37Look into my mind if you don't believe me.
37:40Looking into your mind doesn't tell me whether it's true.
37:42It just tells me if you believe it.
37:44So the Chief, you're sure we can trust him?
37:54You're ready to die on that hill?
37:55I can't trust him.
37:56I sure hope you're right.
38:00Otherwise, we both die on that hill.
38:03They found the asset's vehicle.
38:23It's back in the woods on the north side.
38:25Any sign of her?
38:26Not so far.
38:26It's back in the woods.
38:56It's back out.
39:00Yeah.
39:02Turns out your reporter wasn't up to it after all.
39:26Doctor, a word.
39:34Yeah, a word about...
39:36Miss Sixby.
39:37Miss Sixby.
39:38Uh, Jesus, I...
39:40You know, I...
39:41This...
39:42How about this?
39:45The two of you can have each other.
39:47Just leave me out of...
39:48You're fabulous.
39:48You know, we have two kids left in front half.
39:53Two.
39:53Two.
39:54You have any idea what happens when we run out?
39:58No more conveyor belts.
39:59No more replacing conductors.
40:01Every keyhole brings us one step closer to the end.
40:05These are long-view problems.
40:07Yeah, not...
40:08Not too long.
40:10The rate we've been going through keyholes.
40:12I guess it depends how you define long.
40:15It's why the first thing in every lab report is to define your terms.
40:20At the moment, I'd call a long-view problem anything that doesn't relate to us surviving the day.
40:27Why wouldn't we survive the day?
40:29Your lady friend is out there right now trying to make herself the hero of this mess so she can hang it around our necks.
40:37Not mine.
40:38I'm not...
40:39Due respect, I'm not in charge of security.
40:42You really think the committee will put this down to a security failure after Harry Cross and the twins?
40:50You've seen how they operate.
40:52They'll decide this place has a culture of mismanagement.
40:56It means either you replace the head coach or her assistants.
41:03If she wouldn't, of course she would.
41:05So would you.
41:07So would I.
41:08When it comes down to it, there's no limit to what you do to survive.
41:14So what do you propose?
41:17When the time comes, you back whatever story I tell.
41:22We present ourselves as the fix for Sigsby's culture.
41:30Yeah.
41:31Right the ship.
41:33And if we're in charge, then we know in its niche to upstairs about us trying to develop a PC.
41:39No view problems, Doctor.
41:41Yes.
41:42For now, let's just try to see tomorrow.
41:46Let's go.
42:02Chief?
42:04Chief!
42:05This boy needs help.
42:07Sit down.
42:07Sit down.
42:07What happened to him?
42:14Who is he?
42:15Okay, this is Chief John Ashworth.
42:23Jim, this boy needs some real medical help.
42:25I know.
42:25But first, you need to hear what he's got to say.
42:28I'll get the doc.
42:30That'd be great, Robert.
42:32Thanks, Mr. Hollister.
42:32Here.
42:33Someone's going to need to start filling me in.
42:40Kid's got a flash drive.
42:42Says I don't know how to back up his story.
42:44What is his story?
42:49You're better off looking at the flash drive first.
42:52It'll save time.
42:53Why?
42:54What's on it?
42:55I don't know.
42:59Chief, please.
43:00Trust me.
43:09It's okay.
43:30So?
43:33Some kind of video.
43:39Have eyes on the boy.
43:46I guess we better watch it.
43:47Don't you?
44:09No.
44:09I guess.
