00:00You
00:17Previously on the Institute
00:19We are in trouble and we need your help right now. All right, if you had seen what was on that drive
00:24The drive you left in the chief's pocket. One that would prove everything
00:27He's not strong enough to talk back to me, but me I'm strong
00:32I'm a lot stronger than they know at the moment. We need him
00:37so
00:38We gork him he conducts tonight goes straight to recovery. He can power the hum
00:46indefinitely
00:47Hey, let her go now. Let her go right now, man
00:58You're using us to commit the perfect crime
01:01Murders with no physical evidence. I'm sure you've seen by now. Luke has some
01:06rare abilities low level, but there's another ability more rare more important
01:14Precognition like telling the future
01:17PC track it's bullshit. It's fucking bullshit. What would you do? What would you do?
01:22What would you do to save the world?
01:28Show
01:30Rigged my llama
01:31okay, um
01:33Now say
01:48These are the things I can do without you, come on, I'm talking to you, come on, in Valentine's, you shouldn't have to sell your soul, in black and white.
02:18They really, really ought to know, shout, shout, let it on out, these are the things I can do without you, come on, I'm talking to you, come on.
02:48Let's go.
02:50Let's go.
02:54Or let's go.
02:56Or let's go.
03:00You know what?
03:22I want to hear you give that long-ass speech to the real FBI.
03:26See what they say.
03:30Whoa.
03:32Luke, are you okay?
03:38I see this.
03:40Sparkler night, Louster.
03:42This can be tough.
03:44I know what they are.
03:46Luke explained it to me.
03:48What did he say?
03:50There aren't gonna be any more sparkler nights.
03:53You've been talking to him?
03:55A little. He's sometimes hard to hear.
03:58Luke, are you okay?
04:01I see we're all eager to get going.
04:07Avery Dixon will be our conductor tonight.
04:12Avery gets to go home early, lucky boy.
04:21Thank you all for your cooperation.
04:27This is an easy job, Avery.
04:32Just drive the car off the road.
04:35Like falling off a bike.
04:57That's way stronger than normal, right?
05:06I predicted it would be with Dixon conducting.
05:09Good thing I insisted on doing this now.
05:12Good thing I insisted on doing this now.
05:24Good thing I insisted on doing this now.
05:29I wish Luke were here.
05:50He told me how to do all this.
05:52Luke.
05:54There are levers.
06:04Avery, just use the levers like I tell you.
06:08Luke, I see the levers.
06:11No more movie nights.
06:13No more sparkler nights.
06:15Remember when Luke said there'll be a time to fight?
06:17Oh, my God.
06:18Fill in the circle.
06:19Fill in the circle.
06:20Fill in the circle.
06:37Tony, what the hell is this?
06:40They're spiking early.
06:42Don't break the connection.
06:46We're at Keyhole.
07:12Oh, no, let's go.
07:17Avery, no, just feel like you got a smart person.
07:19Just feel like you got feedback.
07:21How guy sounds ok?
07:22Be foolish!
07:24Ah, nine months ago!
07:25Sam, here's this one.
07:27Here's what was he talking about?
07:28I don't know, man.
07:30Osman Thanks, they love you.
07:31He heard we sung a huge mess on him,
07:32Oh, man.
07:34I could just end it 90 seconds.
07:35So he gets another explainer.
07:37And all those are my favorite Ăś developments.
07:39It reminds me, hm.
07:40Why are they triggering?
08:10Spargoose!
08:34It was supposed to class.
08:40Where are you?
09:03Tony, break this!
09:08Hey Tony, ever wonder how it tastes?
09:20No!
09:32No!
09:44No!
09:56No!
10:08No!

11:10No!
11:12No!
11:13No!
11:14No!
11:15No!
11:16No!
11:17that's going on. You're still running missions. You're saving the world. You don't get to
11:24wait till it's convenient. We need to get him to the feds. Get you to a hospital. Why don't
11:34you want us to know about the others? The others. The other institutes. I don't know
11:43what you're talking about. You guys fucked up. Attention. This is not a drill. Lockdown. Lockdown.
12:07This is not a drill. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. You know what's back there? I think I always
12:27saw them, but I didn't understand what they were until Luke told me. What? Who were?
12:37Okay. Okay. Let's try something. Wait.
12:56Holy shit. What?
13:19Nick said they're the battery. They can use their power.
13:23I don't know.
13:26What do you think?
13:28What else do you think about the driver's car?
13:32What else do you think about the driver's car?
13:43I don't know what-
13:45oh, but I don't know.
13:46I don't know.
13:48That's what we see.
13:48Zeke, shut down the power to back up.
14:11What?
14:12The tunnel.
14:13Shut it down now.
14:14Uh, yes, sir.
14:15I can try.
14:16We've never really done this.
14:17Just do it.
14:18What's going on?
14:42I don't know.
14:42Yeah.
14:43Okay.
14:44Let's go.
14:45Let's go.
14:46We're stronger together.
15:06What's that lock, Easter?
15:10It's not locked.
15:13It's dead.
15:14We've managed to confine them to the tunnel.
15:17Yes, sir. Glad I could kill the power.
15:21Of course, this is only a temporary measure.
15:25Suppose we needed to use an unjustly vilified phrase,
15:30a final solution concerning those residents.
15:33Are you asking if you could make them inert?
15:36Me.
15:37Say.
15:40Let's see who I am.
15:41Easiest thing in the world, sir.
15:43You get some bleach, some toilet bowl cleaner.
15:46Housekeeping's got tons of both.
15:48Mix them up, right ratios.
15:50Hey, presto.
15:52You got chlorine gas.
15:54Dump a few buckets of that stuff into the tunnel intake ducts.
15:58Then let's get the ingredients ready.
16:00And stand by.
16:02Just the contingency.
16:03You understand?
16:04Yes, sir.
16:05Stay there.
16:09Hope you're taking this in.
16:11All the trees, the green, the air.
16:18You're gonna wanna remember this when it all turns to ash.
16:24Don't expect the kids to get it.
16:25Don't even really expect most adults to understand.
16:27Just stop it.
16:28Just shut up, all right?
16:29No.
16:30Just shut your fucking mouth.
16:31Do you know how much evil is done by people in the name of saving the world?
16:32We are saving the world.
16:33No.
16:34No, you're killing children.
16:35A, a few, who die heroes.
16:36A few.
16:37A few.
16:38And as opposed to what?
16:39A few.
16:41Not all the evil.
16:42Not all the evil.
16:43We're gonna kill it.
16:44You're gonna kill it.
16:45And it's not the evil.
16:46And it's not the evil.
16:47Don't expect the kids to get it.
16:48Don't even really expect most adults to understand.
16:49No, just shut up, all right?
16:50No, just shut your fucking mouth.
16:51You shouldn't be.
16:52You shut the evil.
16:53Do you know how much evil is done by people in the name of saving the world?
16:55We are saving the world.
16:56No.
16:57No, you're killing children.
17:01A few.
17:02Yeah.
17:03A few.
17:04A few.
17:05Dying alongside the rest of us?
17:07Watching everyone they love burn?
17:10The skin peeling off like rags?
17:13No, a handful of kids to prevent all of that.
17:16You don't think that's worth it?
17:17No.
17:18You don't? You don't think that's worth it?
17:19No, I don't.
17:20Well, that's insane. You're insane.
17:21Yeah, I'm insane.
17:29You got it all wrong.
17:30Yeah. I'm glad to disappoint you.
17:35Link's trying to tell me something, but it's too far.
17:46I can't hear him.
17:49Can he hear you?
17:50I don't know.
17:52You better fucking hope so.
17:56Link, can you hear me?
17:59Come on, Link.
18:05I'm sorry, Link.
18:25Stop! Stop! Stop!
18:26What? Why?
18:27We need to go back. We need to go back.
18:28Luke, we have to get you to the FBI.
18:29As soon as we do, we'll pay!
18:30Sooner, we do sooner.
18:31Wait, wait, wait.
18:32Luke, you don't have time for that now, OK?
18:34They still have a chance, but we need more power.
18:37And Avery needs to answer that big phone.
18:38And he can't do that on his own.
18:41I've been trying to tell him, but my TP's not strong enough
18:43to hold the connection.
18:45So I need to get close.
18:48I need to go back.
18:50Everything you did to get out, now you want to go back in.
18:52My friends are trapped.
18:53And Stackhouse is going to kill them.
18:56How can you know that?
18:57Because I just do, OK?
18:58All right, look, here's what we know.
19:00Going back, there's suicide.
19:01We need to get to the outside world as fast as possible.
19:04Ride back with the cavalry.
19:05Come on, you're a smart kid.
19:07You know I'm right.
19:07No, no, that'll take too long.
19:09OK, if there's a chance to save them, then it's now, OK?
19:11We need to get help.
19:12Luke, Luke, look.
19:16I don't know what the right thing to do here is, man,
19:18but I know that I believe you.
19:22So whatever you want to do, whatever you decide,
19:24as long as I am fucking breathing,
19:27I promise that I will do whatever it takes to make it happen.
19:29Tim, you can't make that his call.
19:31He's just a kid.
19:32Why not?
19:37It's the grown-ups who fucked it all up.
19:41Yeah.
19:48We've had a situation here.
19:50Happily, I've got it contained.
19:52Hope you can say the same thing.
19:54No such luck.
19:57Mr. Jameson.
19:59Mr. Stackhouse.
20:01My colleague, the one that phone belongs to, is she alive?
20:06I'm here, Trevor.
20:07Thank God.
20:09And the Ellis boy, is he with you as well?
20:12I'm here.
20:13I assume your friends have kept you abreast of the spot they're in.
20:19They have.
20:20Good.
20:21That makes this conversation simple.
20:25You know about chlorine gas.
20:29Reacts with water and makes hydrochloric acid.
20:34Think about all the moisture that coats your throat, your lungs.
20:41Now, imagine how it would feel if it all turns to acid inside of you.
20:49I want you here, Luke.
20:52Otherwise, that's how your friends will die.
20:56Avery, Nikki, Kalisha.
21:02And if I do come back, then what?
21:05You'll wipe their memories as usual and agree to send them home?
21:09I know about the chimneys, Mr. Stackhouse.
21:15They die anyway.
21:17Not necessarily.
21:19There's an area of our work that doesn't require damaging the subjects.
21:25Right.
21:27Precognition.
21:29Miss Sigsby has been talkative.
21:32What else has she told you?
21:33She told us there's only a handful of precogs that have ever been discovered.
21:38What are you saying?
21:38That my friends are all worthy candidates?
21:41No, you're the only precog of the bunch.
21:47And I don't understand.
21:48Didn't Miss Sigsby happen to tell you how PCs are treated?
21:52Like kings.
21:55Like gods.
21:57So you think, if you promise to treat me like a god, then I'll be willing to let you
22:03use up my friends?
22:04I would imagine, for a genuine PC, we could make some accommodation.
22:16We have a deal, Mr. Stackhouse.
22:19And just remember, if you do anything to my friends, I will know.
22:25And you won't see me again until you watch me on 60 Minutes.
22:29You have my word.
22:33You know it's a trap.
22:35Of course it's a trap.
22:40I'm not coming to him.
22:44We are coming for him.
23:02Is she, is Ms. Sigsby dead?
23:06Why do you ask?
23:08I've never seen anyone sit in her seat before.
23:11Not dead, certainly incapacitated.
23:14Frankly, she's been tested and failed.
23:17She's no longer mission critical.
23:19Mr. Stackhouse?
23:20Yeah.
23:22Where are we?
23:23Mixed in abundance.
23:24Figured you'd want to have enough to be sure.
23:27Industrial disinfectant from housekeeping.
23:29Stronger than bleach.
23:30Mixed with a product called Microsterile.
23:33Contains nitric and phosphoric acid.
23:36Should be enough to sweep the tunnel queen of anything organic.
23:39Even the microbes.
23:42I might want to let any remaining personnel in backhouse know.
23:44It's going to be extremely fragrant.
23:47Good.
23:47Stand by and wait for my signal.
23:50Uh, fellows, the children may attempt to influence you.
23:55Make sure you ignore all distracting thoughts.
23:59I always do, sir.
24:06Look, why am I here?
24:08I should be prepping the labs for the burn, preserving my data.
24:12You and I have a phone call to make.
24:18Ms.
24:30Can you hear me?
24:34Can you hear me?
24:36Luke's on his way. He's got something he needs to tell me.
24:39I can feel him trying.
24:41Tell him to hurry. I can feel.
24:43I know.
24:44I can feel it too.
24:46You're in my head?
24:48Yeah, but not going through your mental underwear.
24:50Sure.
24:52We're all in each other's heads now.
24:55Avery.
24:58What's the big phone?
25:00Yeah, why am I thinking that?
25:03I don't know. It's part of what Luke's trying to tell us.
25:07He wants us to work together, but I don't know what the big phone is.
25:12Big phone.
25:15Big phone.
25:25Not much of a plan.
25:27That's what we have time for.
25:29That day at the Worsfield Mall.
25:34Woman runs up, tells you there's a guy with a gun.
25:38You remember what you thought in that moment?
25:43Something like that. There's your life before and life after.
25:47Honestly, I didn't stop to think anything.
25:53You want to believe you wouldn't think twice?
25:56Chance to save some kids?
25:58Bet everyone believes that until it's time to actually do it.
26:01Okay, slow down. We're getting close.
26:18We've got them. Inbound.
26:20One in front. Two behind.
26:22Looks like the night knocker's driving.
26:24Copy that.
26:25I really don't understand why I need to be here.
26:28I'm a scientist, not a soldier.
26:30You need to be here, doctor, because I'm not letting you out of my sight.
26:34Here's my sight.
27:04That's far enough.
27:15You're injured.
27:18I'm fine.
27:19First things first.
27:20Let Miss Sigsby go.
27:22That was that first.
27:23No, Sigsby stays in the car until I'm satisfied that you're playing it straight.
27:27And if you're not?
27:28Luke puts a bullet in her head.
27:30And believe me, I've had to hold him back several times.
27:34How would you suggest we begin?
27:36Give me those kids that you're about to gas.
27:38Come, come, Mr. Jameson.
27:41I can go back to the car, step out, we can start this again.
27:44Perhaps I should speak with Mr. Ellis.
27:46No.
27:47You talk to me.
27:49Just in case you got it.
27:51Sniper.
27:52You gotta make some kind of good face offer, then.
27:55Let some kids go.
27:57I'm fully prepared to do that.
27:59Stop.
28:01We have some children ready for release.
28:04But what are you going to offer us in return?
28:10We're here, aren't we?
28:12I think perhaps I should talk to Luke myself.
28:17Have him step out.
28:18Not without some assurances.
28:20I have eyes on Sigsby and Ellis.
28:22You advise.
28:23If we move without neutralizing Ellis, there's a significant likelihood Sigsby will be collateral damage.
28:28Understood.
28:30So, Mr. Jameson, please accept our gesture of good faith.
28:36Now.
28:36Move, go!
28:40Move it!
28:42Let's go!
28:44Cover him!
28:46Wait.
28:47Get out of the car now!
28:49Now!
28:50Go!
28:51Too bad, Stackhouse.
28:53I really took you for a trustworthy guy.
28:55You can trust me, Mr. Jameson, to always do what's right.
29:00Clear!
29:03Welcome, Mr. Ellis.
29:05We missed you.
29:07Who's that?
29:09Where's the boy?
29:10We missed you, Mr. Jameson, to always do what you want to do with the boy.
29:40He's going back.
30:08Hands on your head!
30:09He's dying with his friends?
30:10He's going to tell Dixon about the other sites.
30:11He needs to get close enough.
30:13You told him about the other sites.
30:15I fucking didn't tell him about the other sites.
30:17Uncuff me!
30:18If Dixon can figure out how to connect to the other sites,
30:22he might be able to conduct them all.
30:25I thought you said that wasn't possible.
30:27It shouldn't be, but I begged you not to give him the tank.
30:32You gave him the tank.
30:35Drop the gas.
30:35No!
30:36You're all monsters.
30:37We're realists.
30:38Conducting that much power, there's no telling what he'd be capable of.
30:43If we wipe out that crop, we might as well gas ourselves along with them.
30:51With me.
30:52Bring them in.
30:59Where's your car?
31:00Behind the guard house.
31:01We have to go to my office.
31:03If any of those sites are compromised, he's going to want to know.
31:05We called him.
31:07Them.
31:08Upstairs.
31:13How could anybody so smart be so fucking stupid?
31:19Stackhouse is going to kill you.
31:21He's going to tell any story he wants.
31:23No, he needs me.
31:25The program needs me.
31:28The program needs me.
31:29The program needs me.
33:05Hey, buddy.
33:06Hey, hey, hey.
33:08Luke's here.
33:09What? Where?
33:11Are you there?
33:12I'm trying.
33:13I'm trying.
33:14I am trying.
33:16We need you.
33:20They're out there.
33:22You can feel them.
33:23I know you can.
33:26I know you can.
33:27I know you can.
33:27Get everyone up.
33:52Get everyone up.
33:54When it happens, we have to go fast.
33:56Then what happens?
33:57When you talk on the big phone.
34:00Okay.
34:01Are you good?
34:02Talk to who?
34:03There you go.
