00:00Previously on The Institute.
00:03Look, kid, you're pretty banged up.
00:04We should probably get you to a doctor or a hospital.
00:06No, no, no.
00:07I don't have time for that.
00:08I need to get to a place called the Red Steps.
00:10Do you know it?
00:12I know how it sounds.
00:13You think I'm having some sort of break with reality
00:15or maybe the beginnings of schizophrenia.
00:17I didn't say that.
00:18I know Stackhouse is real.
00:20The rest of it is a little weird.
00:26Zeke, where exactly is the locator on Subject Dallas?
00:30What do you mean, ma'am?
00:30Show me him directly in front of you.
00:33There's a chance.
00:35If we bring the boy back quickly enough,
00:38we never have to make the call.
00:40If we bring him back alive.
00:42Easy, easy.
00:51Chief, this boy needs help.
00:53What happened to him?
00:55Kid's got a flash drive.
00:56Says it'll help back up his story.
00:57Have eyes on the boy.
01:05Some kind of video.
01:07I guess we better watch it.
01:08Shout, shout, let it all out.
01:25These are the things I can do without you.
01:31Come on.
01:32Come on.
01:32Come on.
01:34I'm talking to you.
01:36Come on.
01:41In Valentine's.
01:45You shouldn't have to sell your soul.
01:49In black and white.
01:52In black and white.
01:54They really, really, really ought to know.
02:02Shout, shout, let it all out.
02:07These are the things I can do without you.
02:12Come on.
02:13Come on.
02:13I'm talking to you.
02:17Come on.
02:18Oh, God.
02:20Oh, God.
02:48I hope this works.
02:49I'll never be strong enough to do this again.
02:53Luke, if you're watching this, it means that you're out.
02:59And I'm dead.
03:02So I'm going to hide this in my uniform.
03:10I made a hole.
03:13I'm going to record everything so you can show the world.
03:17My life story doesn't matter.
03:29I'm going to hell anyway.
03:31I knew that 20 years ago in Afghanistan.
03:38Just...
03:39I'm sorry it took me too long to see.
03:43You don't think of yourself as evil.
03:48It's still hard for me to believe what we've done.
03:52All in service of this thing they created.
03:56This machine they've made has needs.
03:59And of course the biggest need is a constant supply of children.
04:15Because back half uses them up.
04:24By the time they hit recovery, they're gone.
04:29Complete.
04:30Gorked.
04:31We say.
04:32Eventually they just forget to keep breathing.
04:36Recovery.
04:37We call it Gorky Park.
04:39Oh my god.
04:41Sometimes we just make jokes.
04:48Trying to stay sane.
04:55We call it Gorky Park.
04:58Oh my God.
05:00Sometimes, you just make jokes.
05:04Trying to stay sane.
05:07And this is where they all end up.
05:12Dust to dust.
05:18No one thinks of themselves as evil.
05:24Nobody should have to.
05:36Nobody should have to.
05:54Well, now you know.
06:01What in the name of all that is holy did I just watch?
06:08Where the hell have you been, son?
06:09What's our ETA?
06:11Thirty minutes.
06:12Target confirmed?
06:13Yeah.
06:15Our asset says the boy is still inside the station.
06:18He neutralized one of Stackhouse's people already.
06:20Who?
06:21Uh, one of his sleepers.
06:22So we're going in hot?
06:23Yes.
06:24You're cleared to go in hot.
06:25Just recover the kid.
06:26Keep our asset in place.
06:27Keep our asset in place.
06:28Keep our asset in place.
06:29Keep our asset in place.
06:30Keep our asset in place.
06:31Keep our asset in place.
06:32Keep our asset in place.
06:33What's our ETA?
06:34Thirty minutes.
06:35Target confirmed?
06:36Yeah.
06:37Our asset says the boy is still inside the station.
06:38He neutralized one of Stackhouse's people already.
06:39Who?
06:40Uh, one of his sleepers.
06:41So we're going in hot?
06:42Yes.
06:43You're cleared to go in hot.
06:44Just recover the kid.
06:45Keep our asset in place.
06:47If there are problems?
06:49Then we deep clean.
06:52And just be aware.
06:54The Nightknocker's ex-army.
06:55He's gonna be on high alert.
06:57Well, at least he won't be too smart.
06:59What does that mean?
07:01I just mean, like...
07:03Yeah.
07:04My dad's 26 years career army.
07:07He has a doctorate and three masters to work.
07:10He's so...
07:15My friends are all still there.
07:16We need to hurry and we can save them, but we need to go now.
07:18Look around you, kid.
07:19This department is not built to hit a place like that.
07:21It's a hard target.
07:22You would need a SWAT team.
07:23Three...
07:24Every day, kids are dying.
07:25We can't waste more time.
07:27Anything happens if the Chief goes in there with two officers.
07:29It's not just...
07:30Hello, Chief?
07:31You back there?
07:32Hey, what's up with the phones?
07:33I heard...
07:34Drew, I need you to mind the shop.
07:38People gonna call about the cell service?
07:39The internet?
07:40God knows what else.
07:41What's going on?
07:42You're in charge.
07:43Taking these two to Portland right now.
07:44I know the SAC down there.
07:46Special agent in charge.
07:47He's a good guy.
07:48Rock solid.
07:49And this...
07:50Whatever the hell this is, I will tell you one thing.
07:52It is way above our purview here.
07:54Let's go.
07:55I can drive them, sir.
07:56I'm happy to go.
07:57No, you stay here.
07:58Get Wendy in.
07:59All hands on deck.
08:00Uh, yeah.
08:01Uh, Chief, please.
08:02I...
08:03I don't wanna...
08:04Why don't I take them out?
08:05I don't wanna be in charge.
08:06What if there's an emergency?
08:07There's no comms.
08:08I won't be able to reach you.
08:09Get Wendy in.
08:10The two of you can handle it.
08:11I'm gonna walk this in myself.
08:12They're not gonna take you seriously otherwise.
08:14I'm gonna get you some help, kid.
08:17Shit.
08:18Damn!
08:19Goddamn!
08:22Don't fuck with me, Jameson.
08:25Don't fuck with me!
08:26Drew.
08:29Drew, I am not...
08:30I am not going to fuck with you.
08:34I never meant to do that.
08:39Get his cuffs.
08:40Drew, just...
08:42Just take a second to think about what...
08:43Tim?
08:44I have known the Chief 20 years.
08:45And look what I just did to him.
08:46I've known you for how long?
08:48Two fucking months?
08:49Now get his cuffs.
08:50Now!
08:51Alright, alright.
08:54Good.
08:56Now take the cuffs
08:57and lock the kid to the bench.
08:58He's the one they want.
09:00Now!
09:01Go! Go!
09:04Think I'm fucking around?
09:14Sorry, kid.
09:17Okay.
09:18Okay.
09:19Now.
09:20Be yourself.
09:21Next to him.
09:22So I can keep an eye on both of you.
09:24Do it right.
09:25I'm watching you.
09:26Okay.
09:27Good.
09:28Good.
09:29Under control.
09:34This is Reynolds.
09:35I got them.
09:36Both of them?
09:37Yes.
09:38Excellent.
09:39Hang on.
09:40Yes, sir.
09:41We may just live through this yet.
09:42You wanted to see me.
09:43We're gonna have to move the Dixon boy up.
09:44Quick and dirty.
09:45Use the tank.
09:46Bad idea.
09:47It's a terrible idea.
09:48He's too much of a wild card.
09:49He's so strong in some ways.
09:50I have the keyhole in two hours.
09:51If we can't make it, there's gonna be problems.
09:52Just do it.
09:53Now.
09:54Now.
09:56You still there?
09:57I have the keyhole in two hours.
09:58If we can't make it, there's gonna be problems.
09:59Just do it.
10:00Now.
10:02You still there?
10:04I'm here.
10:05I have a team twenty minutes out.
10:06I need you to go get it.
10:07I can't make it, but I can't make it.
10:09Come on.
10:10Do you?
10:11No?
10:12I'm no longer gonna have the keyhole in one hour.
10:14It's hard to tell you.
10:16I'm not going to have the keyhole.
10:17You're gonna need it.
10:18I'm sorry.
10:19I'm sorry.
10:20I'm just, I am not.
10:21You're here.
10:22You have a keyhole in one hour.
10:25You can't keep this together.
10:26I can't keep this together.
10:28I don't know.
10:29You can't keep this together.
10:30I need you to control the situation until they reinforce you.
10:35Yeah, I can do that.
10:36Now what?
10:37You wouldn't have a safety pin or a paperclip, would you?
10:40No.
10:42Um, there was a bit of a, uh, a complication.
10:45Uh, I had to...
10:47Chief Ashworth is dead.
10:51Understood.
10:53The team will take care of that.
10:55Okay.
10:56Uh...
10:56Now listen to me, Reynolds.
10:58Um, okay.
11:01I need you to lock down that place until backup arrives.
11:06No one in, no one out.
11:09I can't stress that enough.
11:11Lock it down.
11:12No one is going anywhere.
11:14Uh, God, I understand.
11:16Long down.
11:17Yeah, right, okay.
11:20Sure.
11:21ETA, 20 minutes.
11:2220 minutes.
11:23Got it.
11:24I will, uh, yeah, uh, I'll wait here.
11:26Just send them to the side door and I'll let them in.
11:33It's hang tight, okay?
11:34It's hang tight.
11:35You don't want to do this.
11:36Well, it's a bit late for that, Tim.
11:38Day late and a dollar's short for that.
11:39You're making a huge fucking mistake, man.
11:41I can't look at this shit anymore.
11:44I can't look at this shit anymore.
11:58Shit.
11:58The drive thing.
12:00The fucking video's in his pocket.
12:03Shit.
12:03That, uh, that thing you did with the tree.
12:12You think you think you might be able to try it with those paperclips?
12:14No, no, I told you I can't, I can't control that, okay?
12:17It happens when I'm upset or if I'm angry, but I...
12:19You better get the fucking upset.
12:21Because if we die, then there's no one to blow the whistle
12:23and your fucking friends are going to be stuck there.
12:25So just tell it.
12:25Are you doing it?
12:42I can't.
12:49Come on, you've got this.
12:51One more time.
12:52Let's go.
12:55Oh, God damn it.
13:25Oh, shit, that had nothing ever worked with you.
13:39Get him.
13:43Couldn't you get it a little closer?
13:44You do it next time.
13:52Yeah.
13:53That's...
13:54I don't know.
14:22About time.
14:49What?
14:50No.
14:52No, no, no, no.
14:53They were right here.
14:54They were cuffed right here.
14:57Get the car.
14:58I, what the fuck?
14:58Get the car!
15:01Couldn't have gone far.
15:04Fuck.
15:04Fuck.
15:09Fuck.
15:15Fuck.
15:16Fuck.
15:18Officer Jameson, my savior.
15:35Mr. Nibirah, I didn't realize you were out of the hospital.
15:39As I told my brother, work is its own medicine.
15:43Is there trouble?
15:46We need your help, sir.
15:48Of course.
15:49I owe you my life.
15:50Whatever I have is yours.
15:51Do you have a car?
15:52Any chance?
15:53Or maybe a phone that works?
15:55My phone isn't working either.
15:56Why is that?
15:57What's going on?
16:01Titus?
16:02Yes, this way.
16:03To the back.
16:06Under there, under there.
16:11I don't run back.
16:16You may need a wider cordon around the area.
16:23Hello there.
16:24Can I help you?
16:25We're looking for a boy.
16:26A young boy.
16:27It's possible he's being trafficked.
16:28Are you the police?
16:29Federal officers.
16:30We believe he could be with a Tim Jameson, the new night knocker.
16:33Do you know him?
16:37I have seen them.
16:38They were just here.
16:39They bought coffee and sandwiches and then they left.
16:40Excuse me ma'am.
16:41Insurance doesn't allow customers in that area.
16:42They bought coffee and sandwiches and then they left.
16:43Excuse me ma'am.
16:44Insurance doesn't allow customers in that area.
16:48I have seen them.
16:55I have seen them.
17:00They were just here.
17:01They bought coffee and sandwiches and then they left.
17:07Excuse me ma'am.
17:08Insurance doesn't allow customers in that area.
17:10Mr. Jameson said they were driving to Portsland.
17:27What kind of car?
17:28Black.
17:29They're headed to Portland.
17:32Route 1 south.
17:33Your phone is working.
17:35What's going on with the phones officer?
17:38What kind of black car?
17:39Dodge.
17:40Charger I think.
17:49They're gone.
17:50It's okay.
18:03Hey.
18:07Wait.
18:08Elkok wadajid biwak goyan.
18:13Together the teeth can cut.
18:19When we unite, we are strong.
18:26I kiss my children goodnight because of you.
18:31Alright.
18:32I like that part means Hall.
18:33I got all the
19:01Apologies, Mr. Dixon, but we have less than two hours to keyhole.
19:16Hope you got your diaper strapped up tight.
19:31Oh, my God.
20:01Oh, my God.
20:31Oh, my God.
20:33Luke?
20:34No, it's fine.
20:35We should go.
20:37Sure.
20:37Let's go.
20:41I guess I don't need to tell you what happens if that kid gets out of jamming range, manages
20:45to find someone who'll listen to his story.
20:49No.
20:50Upstairs will send a burn team, expunge us from the face of the earth, delete our birth certificates.
21:00It'll be...
21:02I feel like we never existed.
21:05We'll catch them.
21:06What are we doing, man?
21:20We need a plan.
21:21We can't just sneak around.
21:22What is the plan?
21:23Shh.
21:33We're cops.
21:35It's okay.
21:36I trust her.
21:44It's me.
21:45If you, uh, has anything like this ever...
22:09No.
22:17It's remarkable.
22:20It's truly remarkable.
22:22My friend, are you there?

24:30No, that's what loaded before it all went down.
24:33Tim? Says he's a person of interest.
24:37I was kidnapped.
24:40I'm so sorry, Luke. It's awful. Beyond.
24:44God, you need medical attention. Psychological care. Social services.
24:49What are you doing? I mean, this is, this is, you've got no legal.
24:53I had no choice. All right? If you had seen what was on that drive.
24:56The drive you left in the chief's pocket. The one that would prove everything.
24:59I know how it sounds.
25:00It sounds like Annie.
25:01Yeah, they fucking killed Annie.
25:02Look, if none of this is real, who's jamming your communications?
25:08Uh, landlines, internet, cell service. Who can do all of that?
25:14Yeah. I just drove Fort Hale, checking the cell towers.
25:18They look fine.
25:20Also, all the radios aren't working.
25:21So what? So what? This is, this is them?
25:23All of it?
25:25Some kind of scrambler?
25:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, because that, that's what they do.
25:28Drew, I need to get him out of town, okay?
25:34And Drew shot Ashworth.
25:39Drew shot Ashworth?
25:41Yes.
25:41Why?
25:41Because it makes sense to have one in the local cops, okay?
25:45Maybe more than one.
25:46Look, I don't understand at all, either, but you know, you know, uh, that reporter, Kate, whoever?
25:51Kate Nielsen.
25:51She tried to kill us, too.
25:54No, no, no, that's true, okay?
25:56She worked for the Institute.
25:58Okay, you have absolutely no reason to believe me, but we are telling you the truth.
26:05What do you want?
26:17I understand.
26:18Dixon damaged the deprivation tech.
26:20Damaged?
26:21He blasted it apart.
26:24You have any idea what kind of TK power that requires?
26:27A full house on a sparkler night can't do that.
26:31It's orders of magnitude bigger than what we've seen.
26:35You told us TK was too weak to be weaponized.
26:39It always was.
26:39It's not just me.
26:40All of us.
26:41All the literature.
26:43No one has ever had a TK.
26:46That's wrong.
26:47Nothing could be verified.
26:48Of course, there were always rumors.
26:50Dixon presents some intriguing new options.
26:53There's no options.
26:55We're simply not prepared to deal with that kind of power.
27:00Dixon's a time bomb.
27:01We can't leave him like this.
27:04Don't tell me liquidation.
27:10It would be safest.
27:12But no.
27:14At the moment, we need him.
27:16So, we gork him.
27:19Immediately.
27:20He conducts tonight.
27:21Goes straight to recovery.
27:24He can power the hum indefinitely.
27:28The answer to our prayers.
27:37Hey.
27:44Better hurry up and eat.
27:46I'm shutting this up soon.
27:47It's a sparkler night.
27:53Here we go, Shaw.
27:56Here comes the airplane.
28:01Come on, Shaw.
28:02You can't do sparkler night on an empty stomach.
28:07Oh, shit.
28:08What's wrong with Kaleesha?
28:20She's going, man.
28:23They're all gone.
28:25And me, and you.
28:28Gorked.
28:28Nikki, help me.
28:36Hold my hand.
28:37What do you want me to do?
28:40Just help me.
28:41I can't help you.
28:42I can't help you.
28:46Kaleesha.
28:48Can you hear me?
28:50Kaleesha.
28:51Kaleesha.
28:52Kaleesha.
28:53Go away.
28:55I have to hide.
28:57Wake up, Kaleesha.
28:58Please.
28:59Shaw?
29:00Please, Kaleesha.
29:03Kaleesha.
29:04Hey, look who it is.
29:25It's apestick.
29:27Your cypressorize.
29:29I missed you.
29:30I missed you, too.
29:34Someone give me a smoke.
29:39Today.
29:46Sparkler night.
29:48Eat up.
29:52Did Luke escape?
29:54I felt it.
29:56Yeah, he's out.
29:58They're scared shitless.
30:00I thought so.
30:01I thought I felt him go.
30:02Fuck yeah.
30:04Can you talk to him?
30:11I can feel him sometimes.
30:13He's not strong enough to talk back to me.
30:16But me?
30:17I'm strong.
30:18I'm a lot stronger than they know.
30:21Strong enough to do something.
30:25We can't escape, Avery.
30:27I have the pieces.
30:29I don't know how to put them together.
30:30I don't know how to put them together.
30:30I don't know how to put them together.
30:32I don't know how to put them together.
30:34I don't know how to put them together.
30:38Okay.
30:39So we are going to run out of time.
30:40Because they're not dumb.
30:43Just a minute.
30:43All right, so we head out, stick to back roads.
30:46Boston, Montreal.
30:48Wendy, you in there?
30:54Wendy!
30:55Yeah, hold on!
30:56Let's go. No, no, no.
30:57Go on here. Go on here.
30:59Come on. We're closing.
31:00You all right?
31:01Hold on!
31:05I'm coming.
31:07So the radio's...
31:09Try changing the battery.
31:10What are you doing, Drew? What's going on?
31:12Sorry, who are you exactly?
31:13How many guesses do you need?
31:17Oh, the FBI doesn't care about warrants anymore?
31:20Your law enforcement shouldn't take a warrant to ensure your cooperation.
31:24With what? What are you doing, Drew?
31:26What's the last you hear from Tim Jameson?
31:30Tim, why is there something wrong?
31:32Afraid so.
31:34Last contacts?
31:38Uh, last night he borrowed my car.
31:40Tell you why he needed it?
31:42Why are you asking me about Tim?
31:44He may have had a breakdown of some kind.
31:48A breakdown?
31:49A break with reality.
31:51There's substantial mental illness in his family history.
31:54How the fuck do you know that?
31:55Wendy, Tim shot Chief Ashworth.
31:59It's not possible.
32:01No way.
32:02It's true.
32:03We were just at the station.
32:04The Chief told you Tim shot him?
32:06Chief didn't tell us anything.
32:08Chief is dead.
32:12What?
32:13I'm sorry, Wendy.
32:15I'm really sorry.
32:16Oh, my God.
32:18Well, what's Amanda going to do?
32:19This doesn't make any sense.
32:21Well, it's...
32:22He's the prime suspect at this point.
32:24I'm telling you, Wendy, I saw him on my way out this morning.
32:26It sounded like he'd been drinking Annie's Kool-Aid,
32:28talking about astronauts, the hole in the moon.
32:31Well, I still don't believe it.
32:32And even if it's true,
32:33it doesn't change the fact that he's not in my fucking house.
32:35So if you two don't mind.
32:38Drew, get the fuck out.
32:39Drew, what the fuck are you doing?
32:46Hey, Drew.
32:50Hands.
32:52Let's not make this worse.
32:53It's already worse.
32:54Back up against the wall, both of you.
32:56Hands where I can see them.
32:58You won't.
33:02Sure I will.
33:03Jesus, Tim.
33:04I told you, he's gone crazy.
33:05We have to do something.
33:06Shut up!
33:07Just shut up!
33:09You shot the Chief right in front of us,
33:10so don't fuck with me.
33:15It's her.
33:17The one I told you about.
33:18Mm-hmm.
33:19Luke.
33:21I'm worried about you.
33:23Wendy, if you would mind,
33:24taking these two into the other room,
33:25tying them up,
33:26relieving them of their weapons.
33:30Don't tell me you're buying this bullshit they're spending.
33:31How long have we known each other?
33:32He's snapped!
33:33Move!
33:34All right, all right, all right.
33:35There's no point arguing.
33:36Let's deescalate, right?
33:37Like they caught us.
33:38There.
33:40There.
33:41Come on, have everyone calm down.
33:42Let's, let's let Tim calm down.
33:45We'll sort all this out.
33:47Let's just, let's just not point guns at each other.
33:50Tim.
33:51Tim, look at me.
33:53Let me disarm both of you, okay?
33:55I'll establish chain of custody on Drew's sidearm,
33:57and forensics will show if it's what killed the Chief.
33:59There's not gonna be any forensics, right, Drew?
34:01I'm sure the Chief's body's already gone.
34:04Still, I would be very happy to put this gun down
34:07just as soon as you disarm him and Miss FBI over there.
34:10She's not FBI.
34:15It's a good time to deescalate, like she said.
34:20Drew?
34:22Okay.
34:25Hey, hey, hey, hey!
34:26Let her go!
34:27Let her go now!
34:28Let her go right now, man!
34:40Let her go!
34:41Let her go!
34:42Let her go!
34:43Let her go!
34:44Let her go!
34:45Let her go!
34:50Just give me a reason.
34:51I know this must feel like a very dark time for you.
35:14Come in.
35:15Just...
35:16Just...
35:33Clearly he's been telling you things.
35:34There's no shit.
35:35You killed Annie yourself?
35:36Tim.
35:37What?
35:38You killed Drew.
35:39He killed the Chief, and he just shot me.
35:40I know.
35:42Don't know since we were kids.
35:44Mr. Jameson.
35:46I haven't killed anyone.
35:47You're making a huge mistake.
35:48And based on what?
35:49The words of a scared, confused child.
35:52Maureen made a video.
35:58Well...
36:00That's unfortunate.
36:01Why?
36:03It means we're all dead.
36:06Yeah.
36:07What was on this video?
36:08All of it.
36:09Your gorks.
36:10All of it.
36:11I think it went all the way through.
36:12Our move's fine.
36:13All right.
36:14All right.
36:15Let me take a look.
36:16I told him everything.
36:17No, you didn't.
36:18No, you didn't.
36:19What does that mean?
36:20What does that mean?
36:21I told him everything.
36:22No, you didn't.
36:23What does that mean?
36:24You don't know everything.
36:25I know what you do to us.
36:27Kids.
36:28Like me.
36:29Like Kalisha.
36:30Like Avery.
36:31All right.
36:32Let me take a look.
36:34All right.
36:35Let me take a look.
36:41I told him everything.
36:42No, you didn't.
36:45What does that mean?
36:46You don't know everything.
36:48I know what you do to us.
36:51Kids.
36:52Like me.
36:53Like Kalisha.
36:54Like Avery.
36:55And I know what you did to my parents.
36:58Yeah, but you don't know why.
36:59The smartest kid in the world doesn't think to ask why.
37:04What's to know?
37:06You're using us to commit the perfect crime.
37:09Murders with no physical evidence.
37:12You're a hit squad.
37:13You're assassins or whatever you want to call them.
37:15And you're the blind man who felt the tale and thought he could describe the whole elephant.
37:20We should just shoot her.
37:23It's not as easy as you think.
37:25She'll kill all of us if she can.
37:27Well, not all of you.
37:30Not if I don't have to.
37:32Go ahead.
37:33Let's grab the elephant.
37:35What's the point?
37:37You're gonna kill me anyway.
37:40Not if I don't have to.
37:42I'm going for my cigarette.
37:55Yes.
37:59Yes.
38:04Yes, the Institute is involved in untraceable assassination.
38:07I told you.
38:08But the real question is who we target.
38:10Why does that matter?
38:11You think we do this for money?
38:13Or politics?
38:16You've seen the news about Senator Ramsey died in a small plane crash recently?
38:20Yeah, I heard that was you.
38:21Yeah.
38:22Ramsey's what we call a hinge.
38:27If he'd lived nine years from now, he's secretary of defense.
38:32Has a break with reality.
38:34Convinces the president to hit North Korea.
38:37Limited nuclear strike.
38:39The problem is the missiles overfly Russian airspace.
38:44And Russian early warning systems are old and shitty.
38:49And from their screens, it looks like we're coming for them.
38:52They have moments to react.
38:54They launch.
38:55We have moments to react to that.
38:56We launch.
38:57Did you say nine years from now?
39:00Give or take.
39:02Uh-huh.
39:03I know.
39:04Hard to fathom.
39:05But I'm sure you've seen by now Luke has some rare abilities.
39:09Low level.
39:10But there's another ability.
39:12More rare.
39:13More important.
39:14Precognition.
39:16Like telling the future.
39:18The PC track.
39:21How rare?
39:24I'm not cleared to know how many we have at any given time.
39:26How many you have to do what?
39:29Find people who'll trigger Armageddon.
39:32Injures, Tim.
39:35Very good.
39:36And once you've found one, you put together a target package,
39:41and they turn over to you for elimination.
39:46Right?
39:48Since 1950, we've saved the world over 500 times.
39:55Yes.
39:57People have died.
39:58But billions have been saved.
40:00So you're the math whiz.
40:02You understand cost-benefit ratios.
40:05It's bullshit.
40:06It's fucking bullshit.
40:07What would you do?
40:08What would you do?
40:09What would you do?
40:11What would you do?
40:12To save the world?
40:15Whatever it takes?
40:18Correct.
40:19I don't get to have crisis of conscience.
40:22I don't get to feel sad for some particular kid and his poor,
40:28particular grieving mommy or the mission fails.
40:31And full nuclear exchange?
40:33Four billion people die in two hours.
40:36Within ten years, throw in 99% of plants and animals.
40:42If you care about that kind of thing.
40:46Yeah.
40:50You can see my thoughts.
40:52Am I lying?
40:57She's not lying.
40:59That just means she believes it.
41:02So tell me this.
41:03If you really are saving the world,
41:06you want to do it out in the open?
41:08While the secrecy, why not let us all decide?
41:10We can't run that risk.
41:11You understand that.
41:13You shot a child in Boston to prevent a massacre.
41:18You walk out of here with Luke Ellis,
41:22putting the entire world on suicide watch.
41:24Thank you so much.
