Come here.
Where you going?
Did you hear that?
Nice try,
I don't scare that easy.
Yeah.
Agh!
Hold me.
Mm.
You okay?
Oh, my God.
Mr. Howard?
Original Air Date on August 8, 2011
Don't say no ♪
for an answer ♪
and there's no telling ♪
where we've been ♪
'cause people
don't understand ♪
understand,
understand ♪
people don't understand ♪
people like me ♪
Oh, my gosh.
It should be a crime.
A federal--
no, an international--
international, agreed.
Yes, international,
absolutely.
Anything to taste that good.
Whoa.
Yeah, wow.
It's my friend's place,
but she's letting me stay here.
You know
I still can't understand
how you managed
to figure out the recipes
to everything we just had
simply by tasting them.
I mean, that's incredible.
I, uh
I have a super sensitive palate.
Well, I was thinking that
Maybe we could--
before you get your
own show on the Food Network--
We could, um
I don't know,
whip something up.
Just you and me.
- Whip something up?
- Yeah.
Oh, my God!
I'm sorry if I--
did I do something?
No.
I need you to go.
Yeah, yeah.
Could you
please just leave now?
- You okay?
- Please!
No, don't touch me, please.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I didn't--
I'm sorry, Sam.
- Please go.
- Okay, yeah.
- Rachel
- For the 50th time,
Nina, I'm not gonna talk
about my date with Sam.
Fine, but if you
suddenly decide to spill,
just remember
I have plans tonight.
- I won't spill.
- Rach
Morning, everyone.
I come bearing gifts.
- Oh! Let me open it.
- All right.
- Let me open it, please.
- No, I want to--
oh, yeah,
let me open it, please.
The sound of red tape being
cut, courtesy of Agent Sullivan.
- Oh, it's badges!
- That's official cover, right?
Nail on the head, Cameron.
I get to keep this one,
it's my photo.
Apparently we all get one.
Now we
both have badges, Bill.
- DCIS?
- It's a real agency.
Agent Sullivan
said this is gonna help us
with our
"investigatory hurdles."
I thought I was the answer
to our "investigatory hurdles."
Eh, here's yours, Bill.
What does
"DCIS" even stand for?
It says.
It's "Defense Criminal
Investigative Service."
Yeah.
Still no idea.
- Hello, this is Sahra Pirzad--
- Rachel.
Oh, sorry.
I'm interrupting.
No, no, it's fine.
Please, come in.
Was that that Sam fellow?
Does everybody here
know everything about my life?
It's an office, Rachel,
that's what happens.
You know, people watch out
for each other, and
And a first date
is quite a milestone--
- Okay.
- In a young woman's life.
Please.
Dr. Rosen, I'm not
gonna talk about this.
Not with Nina,
and certainly not with you.
All right,
if you change your mind
- Thank you.
- I'm here.
I will let you know.
How would you like
to go on a little road trip?
- To where?
- Fenton, Pennsylvania.
Agent Sullivan
called about a situation there
and I think your abilities
might come in handy.
According to Sullivan, Fenton's
been hit by a rash of deaths.
Three so far.
The victims suffered
rapid onset organ failure.
The CDC found abnormalities
in the victim's brains,
but no pathogens
that could've caused them.
Of course, the CDC
doesn't know about Alphas.
Now it's our turn.
I would've have guessed
we'd need to employ
our new cover so quickly.
I don't know.
I think I liked it better when
we were seeking out
math experts
and violin prodigies.
I know, it's a bit
of an adjustment.
Adjustment?
Well, our mandate is
changing, Rachel.
You know the saying,
the reward for success is
Well, we shouldn't
get ahead of ourselves.
You know, we don't even know if
we're dealing with an Alpha yet.
And that's why I need
my best forensic investigator.
I smell fear.
Whatever's happening here
This whole town
is scared to death.
Yeah.
He said it's right up here.
It's radiation from
that nuclear plant upriver.
I read an article
about electromagnetic fields
caused by power lines.
Cancer clusters.
- Terrified.
- Hm?
- Just like the others.
- Seem to have a bit of
a chicken or the egg
thing going here.
Dr. Rosen?
Yes.
- Yes, Miss Pirzad?
- Pirzad, yes.
- I'm Dr. Calder, CDC.
- I was under the impression
that the CDC had
already ruled on this case.
Yeah, we're just
pulling up stakes as we speak.
But when I heard they
were sending in the DCIS,
I thought that I might
do the hand-off myself.
Oh, that's
very considerate of you.
Now I've read your reports,
are there
any further developments?
With all three victims,
the damage was centered
in their amygdalas.
- The?
- The structures in the brain
that process fear and stress.
It's as if they
were subjected to a sudden
and really severe shock.
Are these people afraid
because
their neighbors are dying
or is it the fear
that's killing them?
It's the chicken or egg, hm?
Good luck.
Three people are dead.
We need answers!
How is my team supposed
to focus
when all they can think about
is who's gonna drop next?
You've gotta calm down.
I've told you everything I know.
You haven't
told me a damn thing!
Look, I swear, Marty,
if you are holding out on me--
Don't threaten me.
That was
a lot of testosterone.
Sheriff Handell?
Hi, I'm Dr. Lee Rosen
Rachel Pirzad.
Marty.
Sorry about that.
Coach Zelanski
gets a little passionate
about his football team.
"Passionate?"
I heard they were
sending more people,
so exactly who are you folks?
- Oh, sorry.
- DCIS.
Come on back.
How'd this end up
at Defense Department?
Are we looking at terrorism?
I wouldn't jump
to any conclusions just yet.
Sheriff, I'm sorry,
were there any
links between the victims?
Ned Burton died first.
He was David Burton's dad.
Oh, David is
the local football star.
Ned was a realtor.
Watts was our bank manager.
James Howard a guidance
counselor at Fenton high.
These bodies
looked half melted inside.
But there was no infection,
nothing on tox screens
Tell me what I'm missing.
I mean, four deaths in four
weeks is way outta my league.
Did you say four deaths?
We were only
informed about three.
Yeah, the fourth
was unrelated.
Just a freak accident.
What kind of freak accident?
Car crash.
Chris Elkhart
slammed into a telephone pole
on his way home from school.
It was a horrible tragedy.
Autopsy?
In a small town like this
when a kid hits a pole,
it's probably drugs or alcohol.
But why put
the family through that?
Besides, this had nothing to do
with the other deaths.
We probably have to see
the body in order to be certain.
I assume we'll need
a court order to exhume?
Chris' mother's
been through hell.
I promise we'll be
as considerate as possible.
Exhume Chris?
Uh, I don't understand.
I'm a father, Mrs. Elkhart.
But I can only
begin to imagine your pain.
But
Given the circumstances
of Chris' accident,
we've asked Sheriff Handell
to help us look into things
a little further.
Isn't that right, Rachel?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Elkhart.
How long was it
just the two of you?
Chris was 12
when his father passed.
Cancer.
Mm. That must've
been a difficult time.
Chris helped me
get through it.
I know most teenagers don't
wanna hang out
with their mother, but
Chris always told me
that I was his best friend.
He always called us
"The dynamic duo."
I'm sorry
I have to ask this.
But around the time of the
accident, was there anything
out of the ordinary
happening in Chris' life?
Was he exhibiting
any odd behavior?
Chris tried out for
the football team this year.
It's a religion around here.
But he wasn't big enough,
so Coach Zelanski
made him equipment manager.
We ran into the coach earlier.
He was very, uh, passionate.
He's a thug.
He used to get on Chris
for everything.
He would shout at him to
move faster,
do it better.
I told him to quit,
but he didn't want
to let the team down.
They all showed up
for his funeral, though.
Players and coaches.
That must've
been very comforting.
Chris would've liked it.
He was finally one of them.
I'm--I am so sorry.
This is so unprofessional.
Chris
Chris was so lucky to have
such a loving mother like you.
Aw, that is so sweet
of you to say.
Eh
All right, um
If you think
exhuming his body would help.
But could we please
get this over quickly?
Rachel, are you
all right with this?
I need you
to be honest with me
I know I lost it
in there, Dr. Rosen.
I will not
let that happen again.
But it will.
And that's okay.
You know, I'm glad
we have this chance to talk.
Because you've been
feeling pretty sensitive
since you've moved out of
your parents' home, haven't you?
My mom won't even
return my calls, Dr. Rosen.
And I miss her.
So seeing
what a loving relationship
Mrs. Elkhart had with her son
has probably made you feel--
It hurt.
Look, I just--
I just wanna find out
whoever did this to her, okay?
Whoever took
her child away from her.
Mm-hmm.
That coach seems like
a real nightmare.
Fear and stress,
right, Dr. Rosen?
Yes, well, we need
to find out everything we can
before we confront anybody.
Of course.
But, yes,
that sheriff was not
a very big fan
of Coach Zelanski's.
Sheriff?
Eh, this is odd.
Is anybody here?
I smell decay.
One heartbeat.
Back there.
Rachel.
Sheriff Handell?
Sheriff Handell?
The smell, it's everywhere.
Rachel, wait.
Agh!
Dr. Rosen!
Help!
Agh! Ugh!
Agh! Agh!
Are you all right?
I don't know!
Sheriff?
Can you hear me?
I should've listened.
Who did this to you?
Should've stopped it.
Please, just call me back.
Is Rachel joining us?
I told her her food
was getting cold, but
Well, if she
feels anything like I do,
I imagine
she's quite rattled.
I'm just gonna have
to take one for the team.
Would you like to pay,
Bill?
Eggs, cheese,
bacon, pancakes
You sure these folks didn't
just die of heart failure?
Heart failure.
Because of the food.
Maybe they
were just bored to death.
Hey, I grew up
in a town like this.
Of course you did.
Explains your name, Hicks.
What were you?
The star quarterback?
No, star pitcher, right?
What can I say,
I peaked early.
Well,
I can say with confidence
that none of these people
died from boredom or poor diet.
Cortisol levels
in Sheriff Handell's blood
were five times higher
than I've ever seen.
Mm, cortisol.
Makes sense.
Come on,
what's cortisol, Doc?
It's a hormone produced
when the body undergoes stress.
At chronically elevated levels,
it can shrink the amygdalas
and even eat away at
muscles and organs.
Now imagine that on
a radically amplified scale.
Can I get you anything else?
DCIS, you don't ask questions,
we ask questions.
- Gary.
- We ask and you tell.
Gary, that's impolite.
So you really are Feds.
- Put it away.
- I knew it.
It's a serial killer,
isn't it?
You tell us.
Respect the badge.
- Gary.
- Gary.
- Bill is laughing.
- What else could it be?
I mean, I know
they didn't find poison,
but there is
untraceable poisons, right?
Or maybe it's
something in the water?
Ma'am, I promise you,
we're looking into anything
and everything related
to these--to these victims.
And when we find out
what caused this,
we'll let everyone know.
Okay.
All right.
Meet Coach Kent Zelanski.
Grease.
Thank you, Gary.
So he's connected
to four of our victims.
The guidance counselor,
the football player's father,
and Chris Elkhart.
And Rachel and I saw him
in conflict with the sheriff.
Mm.
I don't know what
our next step should be.
*** investigations
aren't exactly
the cornerstone of
my practice.
Well,
I'm sure you don't think
I just came here
for the vacation, right?
I got you.
Thank you, Bill.
So Nina and I will
start with Coach Zelanski
I want the rest of you to
canvas the school
be very, very careful.
We don't know how
this Alpha is killing folks.
If there is an Alpha.
Yeah, well,
we still wanna
be on alert, people.
"Can't believe
we still have cheer practice
when people are dying."
"Ms. Rue was all up in
my grill over that trig test."
Up in my grill
Try to concentrate
the ones from
Coach Zelanski, okay?
Yeah.
Whoo!
My jacket doesn't have
leather sleeves.
I want a patch on my jacket.
A "G."
- Okay, I'm gonna get you a "G."
- For Gary.
For Gary.
I'm gonna sew it on myself.
You just focus for
a couple minutes, okay?
Okay. Hey, Cameron,
you're up in my grill now.
You gotta get out of my grill.
Okay.
Coach Zelanski sends
mean emails.
There's one to rich Wallace.
And there's three--
no, there's four to
David Burton.
David Burton.
Burton.
Isn't that the name
of one of our dead guys?
DCIS, eyes to yourself.
What does my relationship
with Ned Burton
have to do with his death?
Like I said,
we're just trying to get
a better sense of the victims.
You think I don't see
where this is going?
All right, you tell me.
Where's this going?
You know, you better
be pretty sure of yourself
before you come
into my school and accuse me
of being a part of--
Listen, listen.
Nobody is accusing
you of anythingYet.
Do you know
what I do for this town?
In case you haven't noticed,
Panthers football is Fenton.
My team gives people hope.
And you come in here
insinuating I had something
to do with these deaths?
I never insinuated anything.
You are a damn liar.
You are--
Just stop it.
You need to sit down,
lose the attitude,
and answer our questions.
Right.
Right.
I'll answer your questions.
What do you wanna know?
I'd like to see
these fancy badges do that.
Coach Zelanski is an ***.
But he's definitely
not our Alpha.
And you're certain
about that?
I could be wrong.
Maybe it is the water.
Oh, CDC's been
very clear about that.
So assuming it is an Alpha.
Someone who's using
fear and intimidation to
kill these people,
have you come across anyone
who fits that,
you know, that profile?
There was one football player
that kept popping up
in Handell's files
for fighting and vandalism.
But also bullying.
He even bullied--
Hold on, hold on.
Where's Gary?
David Burton.
No one likes David Burton.
Not the coach, not anyone.
"He punched you."
"Yep."
"Did you see
Burton freak'n out?"
Freak'n.
F-r-e-a-k-n.
That's not a word.
"Guy's a psycho."
"***!"
Doo--***.
Get out of
my hallway, wuss.
Oh, hey!
You're Dave Burton.
The killer scares people.
You scare people.
Killer?
Since when are they letting
retards into the school?
I'm not--
I'm not a re--
hey, you shouldn't
use that word.
I'm autistic.
You're a retard.
You look
pretty retarded to me.
You have bad breath.
Yeah, Carly Wellin,
she said
that she'd rather lick
a toilet seat than kiss you.
It got 47 retweets.
Hey! Don't touch me!
I don't like to be touched!
Yeah? Well that's
really too bad for you, man.
Hey, hey!
Back off!
Agh!
Agh.
Hey, leave
my players alone.
That's David Burton,
the Alpha!
Stop him!
Let me borrow this.
FBI, out the way,
out the way.
Excuse me.
Out the way.
Oh, jeez.
Doc.
Was just trying to
trip the kid, not kill him.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Cameron,
you did not do this.
He is not an Alpha.
He's another victim.
But how?
Where's the Alpha who did it?
There's a hospital
about 15 miles from here.
Kathy, I need you
to secure an MRI suite.
Based on the other victims,
I'd say David was
attacked a few hours ago.
His jacket's
getting caught on the door.
It's too bulky,
you should take it off.
- Gary
- Let me wear it.
Gary, back up.
You wanna pick the seat up?
Gary, you're gonna get hurt.
- The lever right there.
- It's stuck.
I think our
being here has accelerated
the killer's time tables.
I would appreciate some help.
- Now.
- Thanks, we're on our way.
Bill, Cameron,
I think you should
stay here and keep looking.
It might be a good idea to
retrace David's last few hours.
Dr. Rosen,
I'd like to stay too.
Okay.
- Gary, get in.
- No, I have bruises in my hair.
So David's mother's saying
he left at
the same time as usual.
Walked through
the neighborhood.
No one at school saw anything
strange up until the fight.
- We're coming up empty.
- Not so fast, kids.
The exhumation on
Chris Elkhart is done.
We got the whole deal.
The autopsy here,
we got
the county medical records
the accident reports,
the school files I requested.
Now Rachel, you said that
in all the victims, the am--
- amygdalas.
- Thank you, Dr. House.
They shrunk
in all the vics, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, that's not the case
with Chris Elkhart.
So it was just an accident.
I don't know.
Accident report's not adding up.
Hicks, that temporal spatial
whatever thing you do
That can come in handy.
I need you to come with me.
It's nice to feel wanted.
You know what,
you guys go ahead.
I'm gonna talk to the mom.
Gary, take that off.
It's not yours.
No, it looks better on me.
I'm a baller.
How do you
even know that word?
- It's the right word.
- Nina, Nina.
Same symptoms as
all the other victims.
Cortisol levels
through the roof.
And when we flushed
his system,
his body continued to
produce cortisol
as rapidly as
we could get rid of it.
Well, maybe David is pushed
and it just
keeps triggering him.
Yeah, maybe Nina's the killer.
Are you the killer, Nina?
It would be a surprise.
Because for the levels to remain
so high for so long,
they would have to
be triggered continuously.
These readings
are consistent with a dr--
a drug addict.
That's why his body is
producing so much cortisol.
He's in withdrawal.
Withdrawal.
But what's he addicted to?
There were
no foreign substances
indicated in his blood.
I think
he's addicted to a person.
They all were.
The patterns were
all the same.
Addiction,
then withdrawal.
Fatal withdrawal.
He's not responsive to meds.
Just like all the others.
I really feel we
need to quarantine this kid.
It won't be necessary.
Whatever is making him sick
is not contagious.
Dr. Calder, hello again.
I asked the hospital if
they would call me
if anyone else fell ill.
May I?
We need to initiate
support therapy right away.
Start a dilauded drip.
What did you just do to him?
I just took his hand.
It seemed as though
he needed some contact.
Let go.
Just for a moment.
Okay.
Take hold again.
But both hands.
I don't get it.
Why is this helping?
By holding his hand, Nina.
She's giving him exactly
what he needs.
It's a chemical secreted
by his own brain, oxytocin.
It's often
called "The love hormone."
It's critically important
in bonding people
to the ones they love.
And conversely, it causes
the very real pain
people speak of when
separated.
That's where
the cortisol comes in.
Yes, we need
oxytocin right away.
You got it.
There's something
I think I can add to that.
Will you help me?
Nina, someone in David's life
has done this to him.
A serial killer who formed
an unnaturally strong bond
and then severed that bond.
Our Alpha.
He's flatlining.
Nina, hold tightly.
Crashing here!
Based on
the medical evidence,
it doesn't look like
Chris was a *** victim.
But my colleagues
are still looking into it,
and we should have answers
for you very soon.
But you had a suspect?
David Burton.
I read David's file.
I know that he bullied Chris,
but now he's dying.
Well, you'll excuse me
if I don't shed any tears.
Not after what David
and his friends did to my son.
What exactly did they do?
Jessica,
we need to know everything.
They thought he was weak
because he couldn't
make the team.
He didn't like the same music
they liked, stupid things.
So they ridiculed him,
spread rumors about him
on the Internet,
beat him up.
The worst part for Chris
was that he idolized those boys.
He couldn't understand
why they had targeted him.
I'm sorry for
dumping all this on you.
You were very kind
to come here.
When did you say your
friends were coming back?
Oh, well,
they're at the accident scene.
So half hour,
maybe 45 minutes.
Oh.
You could wait here.
I could make you a snack--
sorry.
No, it's okay.
It's a habit.
It's just a habit.
I guess in some ways
you remind me of him.
You're so sweet.
I won't keep you.
No, it's okay.
I'd love to stay.
- Really?
- Yeah, snack sounds good.
This is the spot, huh?
You know, I am fully literate
in accident reports, Hicks?
Did you know that?
Was it raining?
An oil slick or something?
No, it was a clear day.
Overcast,
so no sun in his eyes.
Like today.
- How fast was he going?
- Report said 65.
But he had good brakes
and new tires, so.
Plenty of
room to maneuver.
I'd expect to see swerve marks
if it was an accident.
What you got?
This is no accident.
Oxytocin seems to
be working.
Your instincts may very well
have saved David's life.
I still don't understand
the addiction to the oxytocin.
I mean, does your team
have any idea what's causing it?
Um, yes, we do.
Okay.
Just the glaring silence
of government work.
Something you seem to
be familiar with.
It's been a pleasure.
Thank You.
NeedTo see
Need to see her.
Tell herI'm sorry.
I did--I didn't mean to hurt
Who do you
need to see, David?
Who didn't you mean to hurt?
All right.
Just let me know if
anything changes, please.
Sure.
Yes, Bill.
Doc, I think
we have our Alpha.
Who?
How?
According to Hicks,
Chris Elkhart did not
die in an accident.
Look, he crashed on purpose,
Doc.
The kid floored it
and drove right into a--
I got this, okay?
This is what I do.
- Put it on speaker.
- We matched the autopsy
with the police report
and the facts are
not matching the conclusions.
I mean, this kid died
of a suicide.
And why wasn't that
in the reports?
No idea.
Handell covered it up.
He covered up a lot of things.
Like that football kid,
David Burton.
Apparently, he'd been bullying
Chris something awful.
And according to Chris' file,
his mother
raised holy hell about it
to that guidance counselor,
Dave's dad,
and that team booster,
Marvin Watts.
Yeah, and Sheriff Handell.
No one did anything about it.
So there's your motive
and opportunity.
Well, a grieving mother.
An entire town to blame.
Yep.
- Rachel.
- What?
Rachel just went
to that woman's house.
Oh, my God.
Come on!
Is that nutmeg and cayenne?
Hm.
I'm impressed.
I only use a pinch of
cayenne for the whole batch.
That was Chris' favorite.
You really loved him,
didn't you?
He was my son.
My parents, um
Think I'm a freak.
Oh, I can't believe that.
The cayenne,
that was nothing.
I can taste every ingredient.
This blanket--
Alpaca and silk.
Plus 5% performance fleece.
I can tell you that just
by touching it.
All my senses are
that strong.
That's amazing.
Have you
always been like that?
You should hear
what my parents say.
I hear them.
They think I'm sick
because
I can't stand
the sight of germs,
because
sometimes I won't eat.
They pray that
they can find someone--
anyone to marry me.
But I can't even handle
a kiss.
Who's gonna wanna
marry someone like that?
The only thing I'm good for
is being a walking crime lab.
Have you told
your mother how you feel?
She won't
talk to me about it.
In fact, she won't talk
to me about anything right now.
That's
That's Agent Harken.
He probably knows
something about Chris.
I should get that.
Rachel
It can wait.
I'm here for you.
Oh.
Oh, angel.
Oh, there, there.
There.
How do you feel?
I feel wonderful.
No, no, wait, wait.
What?
Small town.
Whatever.
- Anything?
- No, all clear.
I'll try Rachel.
Rachel.
I am so glad that I
can finally talk to someone.
I don't know why but I feel
like I can trust you
with anything.
You can.
I wanna trust Dr. Rosen.
I do, but
Sometimes I think all he
cares about is my Alpha ability.
So all of your team members
are Alphas like you?
Yeah.
Everybody, except for Dr. Rosen.
Where are we going?
Well, we have to
make one stop.
And then I'll need
your help to get away.
Away?
Away from what?
Nina, has Gary pinged
Mrs. Elkhart's cell phone yet?
Sir, you can't touch that.
- Hey, that's illegal.
- DCIS.
A little room, please.
- Any luck, Gar?
- No, I've got signal overload.
The Doppler Radar truck's
in the neighborhood.
I hate Doppler 2,000.
And 3,000, 4,000
- Okay, you heard that?
- If I think back,
Rachel was drawn
to that woman immediately.
She could die.
Well, from what you said,
this Jessica has
no reason to hurt Rachel.
Well, I don't think
Mrs. Elkhart's fully rational.
The oxytocin bond works
both ways.
And I think
Chris' death triggered
something akin to
psychotic postpartum depression.
And Rachel's incredibly
vulnerable just now.
Not just emotionally,
but physically
because of her abilities.
Okay, I found her.
The Doppler's gone.
They're moving
east on Crosscreek Road.
Hicks and Harken
are close.
Get Harken and Hicks.
Put them on. Put me on.
You killed those people.
Why? How?
When Chris was born
I felt this
overwhelming rush of love.
And from that point on,
I could make other people
feel that way too.
I don't see how
that could hurt anybody.
Neither did I,
until Chris' funeral.
David's father
came to me crying
about what his son had done.
And I comforted him.
Then he told me he knew about
the bullying and did nothing.
I told him I never
wanted to see his face again.
The next day
He was dead.
That's when I knew how I could
make things right for Chris.
You're talking about ***.
I'm talking about justice.
Jessica,
please, stop this.
You're a good person--
No, I begged them
to stop David and his friends.
I begged them.
And they blamed Chris.
They blamed him and
said that he was too sensitive.
That I should--I should
take him to a therapist,
and I should toughen him up.
Dr. Rosen can help you.
- I don't need his help!
- It hurts.
I'm sorry, Rachel.
But you're
supposed to be helping me.
If you help me
You'll feel better.
Okay, yeah.
They're heading east.
Just head east.
Okay, now wait, go right.
- Are you su--
- Yeah, go right, now.
- Through the woods?
- You should've let me drive.
You know what, it's my car.
Okay, you can cut them off
at the next intersection.
Floor it.
Boondocks.
Hello?
Damnit, Gary.
I broke my axle.
I told you,
you should've let me drive.
That's not my fault.
You can drive safe and fast.
Hands at ten and two.
Gary, whatever.
So now what?
I don't know about you
But I'm gonna run.
What is it?
What do you see that I can't?
Rachel.
It's Bill.
And the others can't
be far behind.
Okay, Rachel.
Come on.
- What are you doing?
- I'm sorry.
What's going on?
- I'm sorry.
- Why?
I'm sorry,
but I've run out of time.
What?
- I don't love you.
- Agh!
I want you to die.
Agh.
Rachel.
Rachel, Rachel.
Rachel.
Oh, Jessica.
Thank goodness.
I am so glad that you called.
With the Feds taking David
and all those people dying,
I just feel
like I am losing it.
But if we can talk,
I know I'll feel so much better.
It always helps so much.
I won't be here long.
Why not?
You murdered my son, Kent.
You and the rest of them.
No.
And now, I want you
to spend your last few hours
dying alone.
Doc, she's not responding.
What do I do?
Hold her still, Bill.
- Rachel.
- What is that?
It's oxytocin.
Something to counteract
the withdrawal.
This doesn't
look like withdrawal, Doc.
I mean,
it's happening too fast.
For anyone else,
but not for Rachel.
She's not anyone else.
Come on, girl.
Oh, God, it's not working.
It's not
breaking the pain cycle.
Maybe she can.
Rachel, Rachel,
listen to me.
Focus on my voice.
Hold her.
Hold her tight.
Focus on the feeling
of our hands.
Just that feeling.
Block everything else out.
Feel the comfort.
I need her.
Her love is not real.
Real love is
unconditional, Rachel.
Listen to me.
I care about you
more than you will ever know.
You're like a daughter to me.
You always have been
and you always will be.
Concentrate.
Concentrate.
We love you, Rachel.
We love you, Rachel,
all of us.
- Rachel.
- Listen to the Doc, Rachel.
You okay?
Come on.
You can do it.
Focus on the feeling
of our hands.
It's working.
You're doing it.
She's doing it.
You're doing it.
You're doing it.
- Okay, pull her up.
- Yeah, come here.
- Dr. Rosen.
- Yes, yes.
We're right here.
We're all here.
You're good?
Good girl.
Oh, good girl.
Don't do this, okay.
I love you.
I would do anything to
bring Chris back, anything!
A little late for that.
I know things
got out-of-hand, okay?
I admit that.
But if Chris wanted
to play ball,
he needed to be
a whole lot tougher than he was.
Nobody thought he would drive
into a telephone pole, nobody.
Always comes back to that,
doesn't it?
It always comes back to
"It's always Chris' fault,"
"It's Chris' problem."
I am--I am so
sick of hearing that.
What do you want me
to do, Jessica?
Just tell me
and I will do it.
I swear I will do it.
Burn in hell.
Hold it right there.
Right there, don't move.
Don't let her touch you.
We're gonna need an ambulance
at 57 Poplar Way.
Where are you going?
Don't let him--
don't help him.
He let my son die.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But killing someone else
is not gonna help you, is it?
Jessica, stop.
Chris wouldn't have
wanted you to hurt anyone.
Not for him.
I miss him.
I know.
I miss him.
So what did you
tell everyone this time?
I kept it simple.
That Jessica poisoned
her victims.
Which is true, to a point.
She's going away,
isn't she?
To Binghamton.
Yeah.
Yes, and I hope
this isn't a portent
of more such cases to come.
The danger.
That said, how are you?
Should have that
printed up on T-shirts.
I'm alive
Thanks to you.
Thank yourself, Rachel.
It was your own ability
that saved your life.
You're a very capable
young woman.
More than you know.
What do you say we go home?
Home sounds good.
