00:00Oh, my love is to pray, and I'm doing it right, and I'm in the face from chemistry, nothing tastes better than the sweet memory, to the head, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:29Oh, hey, come look at this, I've never seen anything like it, no thanks, come on, I don't know what the hell it is, wow, thanks for waiting, hey, hey, hey, he's like a coolant, sorry, he's usually such a sweetheart, hey, let's go.
00:59Wait, we just got up here, what is going on?
01:02That guy is serial killer creepy, like, he tried to get me to go inside with him, I'm calling 911.
01:12It's Bailey's Army Reserve Week, how's being a bachelor going?
01:16Oh, I hate it, house is too quiet, keep making an extra cup of coffee for her without thinking, I did laundry last night, not a single weird frilly thing that I don't know how to fold anyway.
01:26Kind of sounds like you guys live together.
01:28Whoa, no, no, we're not ready for that, she just stays over sometimes, a lot of times.
01:35Oh my God, did we accidentally move in together?
01:38Seven out of fifteen, we have reports of suspicious activity in Griffith Park near the DWP relay station.
01:43Seven out of fifteen, show us respond.
01:44It's great that you guys are so happy again.
01:50What is it they say?
01:51If you can survive a secret marriage, you can survive anything?
01:54Whoa.
01:58Seven out of fifteen on site, signs of forced entry, we're going to go and check it out.
02:02We'll see.
02:29Move.
02:30Move
03:00You sure you're okay?
03:02Yes, sir. Just a little banged up.
03:04Explosions took out power to most of the valley.
03:06Didn't take at least 12 hours to restore it.
03:08Here come the feds.
03:16Matt, how have you been?
03:18Me? Anxious.
03:19We've been hearing rumors about a potential terror attack for weeks,
03:21and now it's happened.
03:23Have you met Agent Fox?
03:24No. Wade Gray.
03:25Casey Fox.
03:26Yes, Sergeant Bradford.
03:27Officer's Nolan Chin.
03:28Clearly you're the ones who found the bomb.
03:30Can you describe it?
03:31Not really.
03:32All I saw was a timer, some wires,
03:34and then I was running for my life.
03:35Same, but my impression was that it was fairly rudimentary.
03:38Well, the bomb guys will get in there,
03:39they'll take a look once it's safe,
03:40and hopefully there's something left that we can trace back to a source.
03:43Of all the targets in the city, why hit this place?
03:46I mean, there's no potential for casualties.
03:48All they can do is knock out power to the valley.
03:50I don't know yet,
03:51but there is a possibility that this attack is only the beginning,
03:54which is why the FBI is taking over.
03:56I'm bad.
03:57This guy only killed two of my officers.
03:58We're not just gonna stand on the sidelines.
04:03Okay.
04:04That's Super Frenzy Investigation Joint Task Force.
04:06The first thing we need to do is talk to all the witnesses who called 911.
04:09Thanks for riding with me today.
04:11Yeah, of course.
04:12I'm happy to keep filling in on the detective side.
04:14Because it keeps you out of your uniform.
04:16God, yes.
04:17I feel like I'm already, like, 90 months pregnant.
04:19What?
04:20Uh, Professor Meadows.
04:21I am Detective Harper.
04:22This is Detective Lopez.
04:23You called about an intruder.
04:24Yes.
04:25Yes.
04:26Thank you for coming.
04:27I woke up in the middle of the night, and there was someone in my bedroom.
04:30Can you describe him?
04:31I can do better.
04:32I sketched him.
04:33Now, where did I put that drawing?
04:34Uh, he was an alien.
04:35I can tell you that much to start.
04:36You could tell he was undocumented just by looking at him?
04:37No, no, no, no.
04:38Not that kind of alien.
04:39No, he was, uh...
04:40Oh!
04:41He was a heptapod.
04:42With cosmically awful breath.
04:43Oh, and, um...
04:48How do you know it was he?
04:49Well, it was more of a, a heptapod.
04:54It's more of a peace.
04:56And it wasn't that serious, and a bad accident.
04:59And it was, uh...
05:01It's a massive mess.
05:02Oh, well, I'm not getting that seriously.
05:05No, no, no, no.
05:07No, no, no, no, no.
05:08No, no, no, no, no.
05:09No, no, no.
05:10Well, it was more of a feeling I got.
05:13I certainly didn't see any external genitalia,
05:16or I would have put it in this sketch.
05:18Mr. Meadows, are you on any medications?
05:20Why does everyone always ask me that?
05:22Listen to me.
05:24An alien broke into my house and stole my manuscript.
05:28The definitive treatise on Los Angeles traffic patterns.
05:32Why would an alien travel across the galaxy for a book on traffic?
05:36Understanding traffic is the key to human colonization?
05:41Right. Of course.
05:43You think I'm crazy, but I can prove it happened.
05:47The alien attacked me.
05:49I only survived because I managed to walk myself in the bathroom.
05:56He's white, dark hair, 30s.
05:59With a scar under his left eye.
06:00And he had an accent.
06:02Couldn't quite place it.
06:03It was Russian.
06:04Yeah, he sounded just like Vladislav Ivanov.
06:07Who?
06:08Lelouch.
06:10The super hot model who was trapped on that Chinese reality singing show.
06:14Can that be right?
06:15Oh, yeah. Lelouch is super cute.
06:17No, I mean, the...
06:18We need to pull them out.
06:21TID got a partial on a piece of the explosive device.
06:23Prince came back for an Ezekiel Fremont.
06:26That is not a scar-faced Russian.
06:27So we could be dealing with a terror cell.
06:29No.
06:42I'm gonna wait till later, but I'll tell you right now.
06:44You see you got a threat.
06:46You think you want to get down.
06:47It doesn't matter what you came for, man.
06:50But now I'm gonna break my hands saying...
06:52Clear!
06:52All clear. He's not here.
06:55Okay, now we're going to manhunt mode.
06:57Let's get a bolo going,
06:59and I want agents on the doorstep of everyone
07:01that this guy's ever known by sundown.
07:06It's a small world.
07:08Turns out our suspect's high school guidance counselor,
07:10Simone Clark, is currently a trainee
07:12at the FBI Academy at Quantico.
07:14So let's get her here, ASAP.
07:15Drifting is not a proper FBI technique.
07:32What you gonna do now?
07:44I'm gonna go all out.
07:45I think we're good!
07:46What you gonna do now?
07:48Woo!
07:50I need...
07:51This suit is passing you.
07:52I'm not.
07:53Always climbing.
07:55Keep on...
07:56Keep on going down.
07:57What you gonna do now?
07:59I'm gonna go all out.
08:00I'm gonna go all out.
08:01What you gonna do now?
08:03Push that limit.
08:03Push that limit.
08:04Push that limit.
08:05I'm gonna blow right past you.
08:07Push that limit.
08:09Push that limit.
08:11Push that limit.
08:11Push that limit.
08:13FBI!
08:13Out of the power!
08:15What?
08:15On the ground!
08:16What?
08:16On the ground!
08:17On your stuff!
08:17Join them!
08:18La, la, la, la, la, la.
08:20La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
08:22Push that limit.
08:23How'd I do?
08:25Pretty good, right?
08:26Ooh!
08:28Ooh!
08:29Ooh!
08:30Where the hell did you learn to drive like that?
08:35Clay Warren High School in D.C.?
08:36I was a guidance counselor there for 20 years.
08:39Taught driver's ed for eight of them
08:41till they realized I was using the time
08:43to teach myself and my students advanced driving techniques.
08:47I also coached the wrestling team
08:49because I wanted to perfect my hand-to-hand fighting style
08:52so I could pursue my dream of becoming an FBI agent.
08:55That's a fun story.
08:58But the FBI has a very specific way of doing things
09:02and a 50-year-old...
09:0348.
09:0348-year-old former high school teacher
09:05with a fast and furious fetish doesn't really fit our model.
09:10Did I make a single mistake on the driving course?
09:14No.
09:14Did I successfully pit maneuver this car
09:17and put the suspect under arrest?
09:19Yes.
09:20All right, then I don't understand what the problem is.
09:23Trainee, you were trying to succeed at an agency
09:26where J. Edgar Hoover once fired an agent for having acne.
09:31You're either FBM material or you're not.
09:40Simone Clark?
09:41Yes, sir.
09:42Do you remember a student named Ezekiel Fremont?
09:45Zeke, yes, sir.
09:46He's the main suspect in a terror attack in Los Angeles.
09:50You're going to L.A.
09:51The brief investigative agent of Mr. Fremont.
09:53Happy to help, sir.
09:56Have yourself a very good day, sir.
09:58Let's go, Clark.
10:09Based on his history,
10:10our suspect clearly shares several personality traits
10:12with Ted Kaczynski,
10:13otherwise known as the Unabomber.
10:31Whoops.
10:32Don't mind me.
10:33I'm just going to tuck you in over here.
10:36Excuse me, handsome.
10:39No problem.
10:40As I was saying,
10:43Ezekiel Fremont fits the classic mold
10:45of a high-IQ, low-empathy psychopath.
10:47No, that's not right.
10:49Did you say something?
10:51No, no, no.
10:51Keep going.
10:54Becoming a bomber speaks to his deep sense of anger
10:57and his impotency,
10:58but social and sexual tendencies...
11:00Excuse me.
11:01Who are you?
11:03I'm Simone Clark.
11:05I just flew in from the Academy.
11:07I was Zeke's guidance counselor
11:08for three years in D.C.
11:09Right.
11:10Step out so everybody can see you.
11:13You clearly disagree
11:14with Marlon's profile.
11:16I just don't recognize the kid he's describing.
11:20Zeke grew up in a violent home,
11:22had sensory overload issues because of it.
11:24But I found him to be a deeply empathetic person
11:27who isolated himself from others
11:29as a protection mechanism.
11:32With all due respect,
11:33you were a guidance counselor.
11:34I'm a trained behavioral scientist
11:36with three decades' experience.
11:38And I got mad respect for you,
11:40even if you don't appreciate
11:41what a good guidance counselor brings to the table.
11:44I've worked with literally thousands
11:46of young men and women
11:47at their most formative age,
11:49from future criminals
11:51to future millionaires
11:52and everything in between.
11:54And that made me an expert on people.
11:56Where do you think Zeke is hiding right now?
11:58Someplace dark and quiet.
12:00And when the world got overwhelming,
12:02he just went someplace to hide.
12:04He feels safest underground.
12:06Thank you for your insight,
12:08Trainee Clark.
12:09But I'm gonna trust our profiler on this one.
12:12The guy that you knew in D.C.,
12:14he's no longer the same guy.
12:15We think that he's part of a terrorist cell
12:18intending to strike this city again.
12:20And we need to catch him
12:21before they set off a bomb,
12:22one that kills innocent people this time.
12:23So let's get to work.
12:33Um, I just wanna say,
12:36I am so sorry for speaking out of turn.
12:38So, well, what can I do now?
12:40I mean, how can I help?
12:43You can't.
12:44You should just go back to the academy.
12:45The travel office is on the fourth floor.
12:47They'll give you a voucher
12:48for a coach seat back to Virginia.
12:50So no private jet?
12:54No.
12:56Excuse me.
13:06I was pretty brave,
13:07the way you spoke up in there.
13:11Thank you,
13:12but I don't think
13:13I did myself any favors.
13:14John Nolan.
13:15Simone Clark,
13:16did you hang back
13:18because you wanted to get my phone number?
13:19No, ma'am.
13:20Just to tell you,
13:21I think they were wrong
13:21to dismiss your insights so quickly.
13:23You're the only one in that room
13:25who actually knows
13:26our Mr. Fremont.
13:27In my book,
13:27that makes you the only real expert.
13:29Ooh.
13:30Keep talking.
13:31Well, if you're not in a rush
13:32to get back to Quantico,
13:33how would you like to ride with me
13:34the rest of my shift
13:35to help us find our suspect?
13:36I loved him.
13:40This way.
13:43How long you been on the job?
13:45Only a couple years.
13:46I was just the oldest rookie
13:48in the LAPD.
13:49What?
13:51That's funny because
13:52I'm the oldest trainee
13:54at the academy.
13:55So,
13:56why'd you change course
13:57and sign up?
13:59I found myself
13:59in the middle of a bank robbery.
14:01What?
14:02Helping the people on the inside
14:03made me want to do more of it.
14:05What about yourself?
14:05I've always wanted
14:06to be an FBI agent,
14:08but I ended up
14:09on an off-ramp
14:10when I found out
14:11I was pregnant with the twins.
14:13They in college now,
14:14so,
14:14time for mama
14:15to finish what she started.
14:17It's not easy, though,
14:18trying to keep up
14:19with these 20-somethings.
14:20Sheesh.
14:21Every day,
14:22I am determined to beat them,
14:24and every night,
14:25I'll crawl in the bed
14:26feeling beaten.
14:28Can I offer you
14:29some hard-won advice?
14:31Please.
14:32You are never going to beat
14:33them at being 20-something,
14:34but what you lack
14:35in flexibility
14:36or the ability
14:37to run up a flight of stairs
14:38without getting winded,
14:39you more than make up
14:40for in life experience,
14:42and that puts you
14:43way ahead of the curve
14:44day one of a job.
14:45I appreciate that.
14:50Anytime.
14:55All right.
14:57This is the closest tunnel
14:58to Zeke's apartment.
15:00I'll go check it out.
15:01I'm going to come with you.
15:02No, it's not safe.
15:03You're not even armed.
15:04I'm telling you,
15:04I know this kid.
15:05He's not a violent person.
15:07And the bomb
15:07that nearly killed me
15:08says differently.
15:09Stay here.
15:10Stay here.
15:10Stay here.
15:10Stay here.
15:397 out of 15. Got eyes on our bombing suspects.
15:49Heading eastward, King Street.
15:52Beak! Beak!
16:05What do you think about? I got him!
16:07Did you just steal my police vehicle?
16:11No. I borrowed it to catch a fleeing suspect. You're welcome.
16:17Miss Clark, is that you?
16:19Yes, honey.
16:21Please don't let that man kill me.
16:25What man?
16:26Okay.
16:41Hmm.
16:42Hmm.
16:43Hmm.
16:43Hmm.
16:44Hmm.
16:45Hmm.
16:46Hmm.
16:47Hmm.
16:49I know that look.
17:18He's overloaded, shutting down.
17:20If he wasn't handcuffed to that table,
17:22he'd be under it.
17:24Shouldn't you be on a plane to Virginia?
17:26Oh, that's my fault.
17:28I asked her to stay.
17:29Without Simone, we wouldn't have our suspect in custody.
17:31Well, I'm glad that she was of service,
17:33but tell me something, trainee.
17:34In the bureau, what are you taught to do
17:35when given an order?
17:36Follow it, sir, to the letter.
17:39Matt, considering her relationship with the suspect,
17:41we were thinking that she should take point
17:43on the interview.
17:44Absolutely not.
17:45She's a gnat.
17:45I know we're even close to being qualified.
17:47Agent Foxx is right.
17:49We'll conduct the interview ourselves.
17:51Get yourself back to Quantico now while you can.
17:56Mr. Fremont, we're with the FBI.
18:00You are in a lot of trouble.
18:02I'll, um, walk you out.
18:05If you need any recommendations on places to eat
18:08before your flight...
18:09Thanks, but I know all the good spots.
18:11At least I used to.
18:12I grew up here.
18:14Really?
18:15Any family you want to see before you leave?
18:17None that wants to see me.
18:20Trainee, hold up.
18:21Suspect says he'll only talk to you.
18:28Can we lose the shackles?
18:29Yes, of course.
18:30Hey, Zeke.
18:32It's me, Miss Clark.
18:34Remember to breathe, okay?
18:36When I first met Zeke,
18:41he was really struggling in school every day.
18:45He was either acting out, freaking out, or zoning out.
18:49But then we spent some time together,
18:51and I realized he just needed help
18:53transitioning from the chaos at home.
18:55So I told him to come in my office every morning.
18:59And what did you say?
19:00That I didn't want to talk?
19:04Mm, that's right.
19:06And I told him he didn't have to.
19:07He could use that time to get quiet.
19:10And that's what we did.
19:12Every day for two years,
19:13he would come to my office,
19:15sit for 15 minutes,
19:17then go to class.
19:19And who became an A student?
19:23Yeah, after a few weeks,
19:24she bought me an MP3 player
19:25and some headphones
19:26so I could listen to music in the morning.
19:28Mm-hmm.
19:30I'm in real trouble, huh?
19:34I'm afraid you are.
19:36What can you tell us
19:38about the man with the scar on his face?
19:40I don't know who he is, I swear.
19:42I needed money,
19:44so I've been selling my engineering skills on the dark web.
19:46He paid you to build a bomb for him?
19:48No, just the detonators.
19:51Detonators?
19:52As in more than one?
19:56I made them six.
19:57One with a regular timer
19:59and five with GPS triggers.
20:01Those are special.
20:02I built them
20:03so they go off
20:04and they reach a program set of coordinates.
20:06And what were the coordinates?
20:08Well, he didn't tell me.
20:09I gave him the instructions
20:11on how to program them in himself.
20:13You knowingly helped a terrorist?
20:15He said he was a research scientist
20:17and that it was for a project
20:18that he was working on.
20:19I knew it didn't sound right,
20:22but I was desperate for money.
20:23And about the time I got to the exchange,
20:25I realized I made a mistake,
20:26but it was too late.
20:27He grabbed the detonators
20:28and tried to shoot me.
20:29I ran away and hid.
20:30Zeke, is there anything else
20:32you can tell us about this man,
20:34his name,
20:35the kind of car he drives?
20:36I told you everything I know, man.
20:40God.
20:41I'm sorry I let you down with this club.
20:42That is a very troubled young man.
20:53He really believed he didn't know
20:54he was making detonators for bombs.
20:56I don't know.
20:57For such a smart kid,
20:59he could sometimes act a fool.
21:01Now he's looking at a lifetime of incarceration
21:03due to federal mandatory minimums.
21:05I gotta get this kid a lawyer.
21:07Do you really think that's a good idea?
21:10That's not gonna make you any friends at the bureau.
21:11I know, but Zeke's one of my kids.
21:14I told my students on day one,
21:16Miss Clark will always have your back,
21:19no matter what.
21:20That's not gonna stop
21:21just because he graduated.
21:23Is there anything I can do to help?
21:24I appreciate that,
21:26but I know somebody I can go to about this.
21:29It was a pleasure working with you, John.
21:32Wish I could stick around
21:33to help you catch the guy.
21:34Me too.
21:36And Simone,
21:37don't let him get you down.
21:39You're the real thing.
21:41Professor Alien called again.
21:45He wants an update on the Heptapod
21:47who stole his book.
21:48Well, according to his colleagues,
21:49he was actually telling the truth about one thing.
21:51He is the foremost expert on urban planning.
21:54Unfortunately,
21:55he also pioneered LSD microdosing.
21:58And accidentally fried his brain?
22:00Yeah,
22:01he has been having hallucinations ever since.
22:03Hello?
22:09Professor Meadows,
22:10we were just discussing your case.
22:12Hold on.
22:12Let me put you on speaker.
22:15And I just remembered something about the break-in.
22:17When the alien fled,
22:18I looked out the window
22:19and saw him jump into a red flying saucer.
22:22Oh, it was more of an oval,
22:24now that I think about it.
22:25Okay, got it.
22:26If you remember anything else,
22:28let us know.
22:29So, should I put out a bolo for a red spaceship?
22:32No.
22:33But if we assume that the attack is real,
22:35then it's possible what he saw was a red car.
22:37So we should start pulling traffic cam footage.
22:39No problem.
22:40There's only about a million red cars in Los Angeles.
22:42Hey, gray one's all hands on deck.
22:44Oh, thank God.
22:45Come on, people.
22:47We can't rely on the feds to solve this for us.
22:49Well, Zeke said he made six detonators for our bomber,
22:53the first one a countdown timer
22:54that was used at the relay station,
22:55and the other five GPS enabled.
22:57If only we had an idea what the targets are.
22:59Hey, maybe we could extrapolate them
23:00from the first target, the power station.
23:02There's got to be a reason he hit that thing first.
23:04Oh, not because he wanted to hurt people.
23:06He only knocked out the power
23:07to a big chunk of the valley.
23:11What if that was the point?
23:13What if he wanted to get something
23:15or do something that he didn't have access to
23:17unless the power was off?
23:19There's at least a dozen banks.
23:21Jewelry stores, check cash in place.
23:23I mean, there's no high-value targets here,
23:24nothing that is a terrorist wet dream.
23:27National Guard Armory.
23:29That's got to be it.
23:31There are enough weapons there for an entire platoon.
23:33And enough explosive munitions
23:35to take out a hundred targets.
23:43I'm sorry, but the Army's in lockdown right now.
23:52I'm the one who called you earlier
23:54about your husband.
23:58Is Brady okay?
23:59For now.
24:01And so long as you do as you promised,
24:04I'll see him tonight.
24:06Now let's get to work.
24:07Control 7, Adam 100, be advised.
24:12Adam 15, Adam 4, Adam 22,
24:14and us are code 3 to the National Guard Armory
24:16for a possible 459 in progress.
24:18Will advised.
24:18Bailey, we're three minutes out.
24:20Any sign of our terror suspect?
24:21Not yet.
24:22But the Armory Chief isn't answering his radio.
24:31We're entering the cage.
24:32We've got a man down.
24:41John, he's here, or he was.
24:44Stay with him.
24:46Everyone, on me!
24:51He's swinging at one of our Humvees.
24:53Southgate.
25:00There he is.
25:027, Adam 100, suspect ESL heading west on Vernon.
25:05Shows in pursuit.
25:06Baby, I'm crazy, buddy.
25:09We're running on your path.
25:17We need to stop this guy.
25:18That's not a minivan.
25:19It's a mini tank.
25:20Bulletproof, bombproof.
25:21Our shops can't pitmaneuver it.
25:23We have to wait for the bear gap.
25:24Maybe we can box the Humvee in,
25:25force him off the road.
25:26There's one way we can find out.
25:30Okay, Nolan, get on his left.
25:31We'll take the right.
25:32You have to ram him in unison, all right?
25:36Aim for the door.
25:36Whatever you do, don't hit the wheels.
25:38What?
25:38Why?
25:39What happens if I hit his wheels?
25:40We'll die.
25:41And you'll forever be known as an LAPD cautionary tale.
25:43Oh, great.
25:43Criminal my mother right once and for all.
25:45Wait, I'll be the cautionary tale?
25:46No way.
25:47If this goes bad, we will both be disgraced together.
25:50In position.
25:51All right, on three.
25:52One, two, three.
26:06Show me your hand.
26:07Now.
26:08Hey, Daddy.
26:34What are you doing in L.A.?
26:36Uh, you know if you answered my calls or my texts or my...
26:40Are you still in the FBI?
26:44Technically, I'm just a trainee, but...
26:47Didn't I just close this door in my face?
26:49Daddy!
26:50Open the door.
26:52We need to talk.
26:55Are my grandkids okay?
26:57The twins are fine.
26:58Then there's nothing for us to talk about.
27:01Open this damn door!
27:03Your neighbors are out here looking at me like I'm crazy.
27:09Hey, Mr. Jenkins.
27:11Your dog is so cute.
27:14This is embarrassing.
27:15Not as embarrassing as being a leader in the defund the police movement with a daughter in the FBI.
27:24Do not close this door, you stubborn old man.
27:27If you don't want to talk to your only daughter, fine.
27:30But I'm not here as your daughter.
27:32I'm here as an advocate.
27:35For who?
27:36Zeke Fremont.
27:37He's one of my former students.
27:39Now he's being charged as an accessory in a domestic terror plot.
27:43Hey, you're the only person I trust to get him a lawyer that'll actually give a damn.
27:48So see, this is not about you and me.
27:51This is about a kid who deserves a second chance.
27:56So will you help me?
27:57My husband was abducted by this man.
28:12He threatened to kill Brady if I didn't do exactly what he said.
28:14Can you describe him?
28:15Russian?
28:16At least his accent.
28:18A scar on his face.
28:19What did he steal from my armory?
28:21200 kilos of C4 explosives.
28:23Now nobody asked you to cook.
28:32Okay.
28:33You want me to throw it out?
28:37Mmm.
28:38Okay.
28:39Mmm-hmm.
28:40It tastes just like your mother's.
28:43Miles Davis.
28:44I love this song.
28:45Yeah, me too.
28:47But it's Dizzy Gillespie.
28:49Bop, bop, bop, bop.
28:50Back up.
28:50Don't even come over here reaching in these pots.
28:53Mama's recipe, Mama's rules.
28:55We eat at the table.
28:58I miss everything about your mother.
29:01Except her damn rules.
29:05You would always rope me in as your accomplice to break every single last one of them.
29:11We drove Mama crazy with our foolishness.
29:14We used to be so close, Daddy.
29:22Well, that's on you.
29:25Joining the feds after everything I went through at the hands of law enforcement.
29:29Everything we went through.
29:31Really?
29:32Because I was the one incarcerated for a crime I didn't commit away from you, your mother.
29:40Which is why I'll find a lawyer for your student who is in trouble.
29:45But, Simone, you are on the wrong side of the struggle.
29:49It was an FBI investigation that got you exonerated.
29:52Here's FBI investigations that tried to compromise Martin, Malcolm, Angela, Black Lives Matter.
30:00Daddy, a good agent can make more positive change with one case than most people do in a lifetime.
30:07Oh, what's that?
30:08Quote for the yearbooks?
30:10Come on.
30:11Give me a real reason why you are doing this.
30:14Because we make up less than 1%.
30:16Black women make up less than 1% of the FBI.
30:21Speeches at rallies only do so much.
30:24If we want real justice, we need a voice on the inside.
30:28You just don't get it.
30:30Once you're in the FBI, they'll change you.
30:37We will never know.
30:39Because I am about that close to being kicked out.
30:45For what?
30:48Apparently there's two ways of doing things.
30:50The FBI way and the wrong way.
30:53And guess which one I'm excelling in.
30:56So I'm screwed.
30:57Not according to Miles Davis.
30:59He said, when you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that makes it good or bad.
31:06They haven't kicked you out yet.
31:08So what happens next is on you.
31:11It's great advice, Daddy.
31:12But I thought you said you didn't want me to be in the FBI.
31:16No, I don't.
31:17But nobody tells my baby girl that she doesn't belong.
31:28Wow.
31:29The FBI doesn't really do moderation, do they?
31:31Seriously, it's like a spaceship.
31:33You get any sleep?
31:34No.
31:34But Sleeping Beauty here got an hour in the back of the shop.
31:38Sergeant Stripes come with privileges.
31:39Don't be jealous.
31:40Okay, people, listen up.
31:42Garza has an update.
31:43It's a whole new ballgame.
31:44The amount of explosives stolen sent shockwaves through D.C. overnight.
31:48Homeland Security is now getting involved, as is ATF.
31:51Which means this is no longer a joint task force.
31:54It's wholly federal now.
31:55All right, all due respect, LAPD has busted their ass in this case.
31:58Hey, I get it.
31:59I do.
32:00But my hands are tied.
32:01A terrorist got away with over 200 kilos of C4,
32:04so that kind of changes the complexion of things.
32:06Are you blaming my guys for that?
32:07Did I say that, Wade?
32:09Oh, no, we're all a little tired,
32:11but I think we can remember we're all on the same team here.
32:14You're not talking to security guards, Matt.
32:16We're investigators,
32:17and we're not going to stop hunting this guy because you tell us to.
32:20Can we talk about this in private, please?
32:23You're damn straight.
32:23My office.
32:30I've got a problem.
32:31Me, too.
32:32I've been scrubbing traffic cam footage for hours,
32:34hunting for an extraterrestrial.
32:36No, no, I'm serious.
32:38What is it?
32:39The baby?
32:40No.
32:41TID pulled partial prints from the professor's rear door.
32:45You know, the one that the aliens jimmied open.
32:47That's not a problem.
32:48That's great.
32:48It has to belong to the attacker.
32:50Exactly.
32:50So I ran the prints, and they came back as classified.
32:54What?
32:55Yeah.
32:55So I called my friend over at the DEA, who has top secret clearance,
32:59and I asked her to run the prints, and she was denied access to.
33:03Who the hell is our suspect?
33:05I don't know, but the classified designation for our suspect originated from the Air Force base at Groom Lake.
33:14Okay, your vocal inflection leads me to believe that's a big deal, but for the life of me, I don't know why.
33:20How do you not know about Groom Lake?
33:23Paradise Ranch, Dreamland.
33:25Also known as Area 51.
33:28Isn't that where the government supposedly keeps the aliens?
33:31Yeah.
33:32What the hell are you still doing here?
33:45I just need five minutes with Agent Garza.
33:47You're supposed to be back at Quantico.
33:49You and I both know that as soon as I get back to the academy, they're going to find a reason to fire me.
33:53Here is the only place I can prove I belong.
33:56You're still a trainee.
33:57It's not going to happen.
33:58Can you honestly say that all my contributions haven't earned me a place on this task force?
34:03Absolutely.
34:04And that who can't follow orders has no place in the SBI.
34:08Look, my father was incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit.
34:12I know, I read your file.
34:15Okay, well, here's what's not in it.
34:17My father was an amazing trumpet player.
34:20He was a jazz prodigy.
34:22After eight years in prison, never picked up his horn again.
34:26He let the system steal that from him.
34:27He didn't even put up a fight.
34:29Gave up on his music, his dreams, all of it.
34:32Now, let me guess.
34:33It's not going to be you.
34:35Look at you.
34:36Finally starting to get me.
34:39Let me tell you what I wish someone told me when I was a blue flamer trying to prove myself.
34:44The FBI is in a safe space for women's empowerment.
34:47It's a boys club.
34:48Now, you still have a chance to make it.
34:50All you have to do is fit in by hiding who you really are.
34:54Honey, there's no hiding this.
34:56So, Mom, I'm trying to help you.
34:59I know, Casey, Agent Fox.
35:02And I'm sorry for whatever you had to put up with to do this job.
35:06But the one thing I learned in this life is to be true to who I am.
35:10So, I'm waiting right here for Agent Garza.
35:14Okay.
35:16Here's what we're going to do.
35:17I'm going to call a professional, someone you can talk to about all of this.
35:20But you're working with the aliens.
35:22No, Professor, we are the ones who are trying to help you.
35:25We believe that your attacker is or was in the military.
35:28Yes, the galactic alien army.
35:31Okay, okay.
35:31Maybe your attacker was an alien.
35:34The truth finally prevails with you conniving W.I.B.s.
35:38W.I.B.s?
35:40Women in black.
35:43Hi, y'all.
35:44I'm Simone with the FBI.
35:47Can I speak to you two for a hot sack?
35:53Hey, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job,
35:57but that man is having a clinical delusion.
36:00He's unable to process logic,
36:02so you challenging him is only pushing him further towards his beliefs.
36:06And you playing along is just making him think his delusions are real.
36:11Are you a psychiatrist or...
36:14I was a guidance counselor.
36:15I work with kids experiencing everything
36:18from schizoaffective disorder to severe horniness.
36:21So, you think you can get through to him in a way that we can't?
36:24I think I can charm and disarm him,
36:27and it might bring him back to reality.
36:29We could definitely use some more reality.
36:31Give it a try.
36:33Hello, sir.
36:34I am not a woman in black.
36:37See?
36:38I'm wearing brown and tan.
36:40It's cute, right?
36:42Mind if we go somewhere where we could talk?
36:45When I was a little girl,
36:47I used to go out in the yard and look for UFOs.
36:50And then one night, they found me.
36:54Extraterrestrials?
36:54Well, no, a family of possums rooting around in our trash cans.
37:00I thought they were ETs.
37:01Have you ever seen one of those things up close?
37:04It's otherworldly.
37:06But I never stopped believing that it was possible.
37:09We're not alone in the universe.
37:12We're not.
37:13I was attacked by a heptapod who smelled of chocolate and blood.
37:18Casey, now, Professor, that makes me wonder why you're the only person who saw this bizarre creature.
37:25Because he's a shapeshifter who can take on many forms.
37:31Okay.
37:33Like what?
37:33A white man in his 30s.
37:37What else can you tell me about him when he was a white man in his 30s?
37:41He spoke Russian.
37:44At least he had an accent.
37:45It's hard to remember.
37:46But what, Professor?
37:48Did the man have a scar on the left side of his face?
37:52You've seen him, too.
37:54I'll be right back.
37:55You have a task force, Bodo?
37:58I can pull it up on my phone.
38:02Professor, is this the man that attacked you inside your home?
38:07Yes.
38:08That's him.
38:13Okay, everybody.
38:14Our suspect has written the house in Lincoln Heights under the name Trevor Gurren.
38:17We tracked him there through traffic cam footage from his origin point at the professor's house.
38:21That's great work, detectives.
38:22Actually, Simone deserves the credit.
38:24She's the one who put it all together.
38:29Good work.
38:30Thank you, sir.
38:31I just...
38:31Mobilize additional agents and HRT and notify Homeland and ATI.
38:35So you two own me.
38:36He gets command for the house sent it to my box.
38:37I'll put it in for a telephonic warrant.
38:39All right.
38:51So you think I should put you on the task force?
38:56Honestly, only a fool would keep me off it.
38:59Are you calling me a fool?
39:01Are you putting me on the task force?
39:03Yeah.
39:09You're riding with me.
39:10Let's go.
39:16Go, go, go.
39:18We got a body.
39:21Is it our suspect?
39:22No.
39:23You have that good husband.
39:25Given how cold he is, I'd say Gurren killed him last night when he got back from stealing
39:29the explosives.
39:29House is clear.
39:30For all we know, this guy's pulling off his next attacks as we speak.
39:33So let's tear this place apart.
39:34We're looking for anything that might indicate our unsubbed targets.
39:36Hey, I think this is a map.
39:45It has to have been of L.A., and there were other pins in it.
39:48If we could find the publisher, maybe we could match the pinholes with locations?
39:52Yeah.
39:53We got a whole department of eggheads who love solving these kinds of puzzles.
39:56You got something?
39:57There's no mattress in there.
39:59This guy was just sleeping on a hard-ass floor.
40:01All right.
40:01So what do you think it means?
40:02He's punishing himself.
40:04Nothing soft, nothing warm, no creature comfort.
40:07Military man, maybe?
40:08He's sleeping on the ground, finds a bed too soft.
40:10Or maybe too indulgent.
40:12So what's a better way to stay focused on the mission than to take away every small pleasure?
40:16Sure, that tracks.
40:16What I can't wrap my mind around is the connection to Area 51.
40:20Why would they classify his fingerprints?
40:21You know stories about aliens at Area 51 were only to cover that they were doing covert operations there.
40:27So what are we saying?
40:28Our suspect had ties to classified U.S. operations?
40:32Jeez, what a nightmare that would be.
40:33Chen found something.
40:34Uh, I figured he would write on the map, so I did a wall rubbing.
40:39I found a word.
40:39It's faint, but I think it says Inervo.
40:42What does that mean?
40:43It's Latin.
40:44It means to deprive of power.
40:45Yeah, I worked with a lot of CIA guys in Afghanistan, and Inervo is just the type of pretentious code name they'd given up.
40:51Deprive of power is exactly what he was doing with the first bombing.
40:54You think he'd go after more relay stations?
40:55No, but in a ground war.
40:58What's the military's first target?
40:59Take out the enemy's infrastructure.
41:00Power, water.
41:01Roads.
41:03That's why he stole the professor's book on traffic.
41:06Quickest way to cripple this city?
41:07Take out the freeways.
41:08Hello.
41:26I'm Professor Meadows.
41:27I'm so pleased you've all agreed to help me with my little research project on traffic patterns in Los Angeles.
41:33Inside the envelope, you'll find your first payment and your precise driving route for the day.
41:38It's vital that you follow the exact directions in the envelope.
41:43Otherwise, you won't get your delivery payment.
41:47Excellent.
41:49Then get going.
41:50And remember, drive safe.
41:52And remember, drive safe.
