STEPHEN: My name is Stephen Jameson.
I'm one of the Tomorrow People.
They call our powers the three T's.
CARA: Stephen?
STEPHEN: Telekinesis...
And teleportation.
There is a shadow war going on between us and Ultra...
...the secret organization that hunts us.
The only way to keep my species from going extinct
is to find my father.
And the only way to do that is by working for the enemy.
RUSSELL: Previously on The Tomorrow People...
Stephen. I'll check on Astrid for you.

(SCREAMING)
Until it's safe.
But you have to let us protect you.

Maybe it wasn't him using powers.
It's Luca.
He's breaking out.

Drop the money! Hands in the air!
I said hands in the air!

Stephen, heading out?
Yeah. Running late.
Astrid's father called again.

You don't seem concerned at all.
What are you asking me, Mom?
without telling you.
All I can say is that Astrid'll be home soon.
Okay? I need you to trust me.
with people's lives here.
Now, if you need my help, you know you can come to me.
I know.
I know, and I would.
But I gotta go.
(GROANING)
This is just sad.
clean yourself up.
Are you here to make fun of me?
Me?
No, you look pretty pitiful enough already.
Hand it over.
You were right. About Astrid.
God, that's good to hear.
I can always stop.
Or I can be a better patient.
How's she doing anyway?
She's fine.
You saved her life.
Guess the two of you are pretty close, huh?
When I was lying there,
bleeding out,
not sure if I was gonna make it...
It wasn't Astrid I was thinking about.
You lost a lot of blood.
I feel about...
tried to gun her down,
in cold blood. She is a civilian!

(TREMBLING)
She met John through me, accidentally.
Before we parted ways.
She is no threat to Ultra.
Well, I wish that was the case.
Sadly, it's not.

It's standard protocol.
We had a deal.

Okay, maybe it is my fault.
But I still need to erase her name from the system.
Not gonna happen.
Really? Is that wise?
You think you can strong-arm me?
After what you just did?
You and me. We're done.
Look, I just want to know if my dad is okay.
TIM: Without making any emotional judgments,
checking various hospitals
to see whether you've been admitted as a Jane Doe.
I... I want to speak to him.
call him for me Tim?
That is your name, right?
Yes, it's an acronym for...
If you're asking whether it's within my capabilities...
The answer is no.
Don't take it out on Tim.
He can only do what he's programmed to do.
Then program him to call my dad.
(SIGHING)
Sorry Astrid. Can't do it.
It's not safe.
gotta stay off the grid.
Look, I'm sorry.
Tim's protocols are in place to keep us safe.
You know, as leader,
Cara is the only one who could...
So, Cara's the person I need to be speaking to?
I was just gonna find you.
Here, it's the warmest of the bunch.
I need to call home.
I'm sorry, Astrid. That can't happen.
You guys don't get it.
dad telepathically,
if I'm alive.
And that is the only thing that is keeping him safe.
You should get comfortable. You could be here a while.
She's not gonna last down here.
It's only a matter of time.
Can't you pull some strings at Ultra?
What?
I had to.
went too far this time.
There is.
I... I think I felt a breakout this morning,
like I was in her head, telepathically.
Yeah.
she was a girl.
you felt me?
Not what I meant.
while I was sleeping.
Through her eyes? How?
I don't know, maybe this breakout and I were...
Well, I'll... I'll keep a lookout.
Maybe I can get a read on her too.
Okay.
I'm glad you're here.
last night.
Robbery at the Fed.
that we've ever seen.
I'd be less concerned with the supposed breakout,
and more concerned about the absence of your nephew.
Where is Mr. Jameson?
He quit.
See that word implies he had a choice in the matter.
Yes. Well, you and I both know he's a little hardheaded.
eventually.
Oh, I think it'll be far sooner than that.
What do you say, Stephen? Have you got a minute?
your friend.
had you come to me sooner.
It's all my uncle's fault?
I understand the burdens you bear, Stephen.
All of them. And I want to help you.
Call off the kill squad.
Indeed I could.
What's the catch?
I need you to bring me a rogue breakout.
Her name is Cassandra Smythe.
Extremely powerful and dangerous.
with more experience.
problems other agents can't.
come to your friend.
So...
Do we have a deal, Stephen?
I still don't get it.
Why go through all this trouble for one breakout?
Because she's my daughter.
the Founder's daughter,
and bank robber extraordinaire.
Who robs a bank and doesn't make off with the cash?
She must have known Ultra would be tracking her.
A hot paranormal mess. Mmm.
Must have gotten her looks from her momma.
It's a mess the Founder wants me to clean up.
So, all we have to do is turn her over to the old man and Astrid's clear?
It's easier said than done.
The way she teleported those police cars without touching them,
I've never seen anything like it.
JOHN: She's a synergist.
RUSSELL: What? No way.
It would explain why I can't get a read on her.
Someone want to catch me up here?
A synergist is a breakout whose parents are both paranormal.
The theory is, they have heightened powers.
It makes sense. If the Founder is Cassandra's father,
maybe her mom is one of us too.
Okay.
I mean, if she is, you know, a synergist, what does that mean for us?
RUSSELL: Nothing.
If we can't figure out how to find her off that drive.
RUSSELL: Irene...
I'm gonna check on Astrid.
Stephen?
Why don't you keep this between us for now?
You don't want to get Astrid's hopes up.
Yeah, okay.
You on board with all this?
Making deals with the Founder?
You don't think Stephen's getting ahead of himself?
What? You don't like the chances of Stephen finding a super powerful breakout,
capturing her and then trading her for Astrid's freedom
with a mysterious paranormal who's name we don't even know?
So why are you letting him do this?
'Cause we don't have a choice.
That's impressive, honey.
For my next trick, I'm going to make the magic fork...
(FORK CLATTERING)
Oops, I'm still working on that one.
I got it.
You got a minute?
I'd like to talk.
About what?
There are those within our organization
who don't take too kindly to quitters, Stephen.
The Founder?
Is this when you remind me what happened to my dad?
You can save it. I'll take my chances.
a little bit more cautious.
expect you to tell me.
I don't have to tell you anything.
I don't work for you anymore.
I truly am,
to be trifled with.

about it.
Thank you for your concern.
never lied to you.
come in?
I quit working for him today.
Did something happen between you two?
right fit for me anymore.
So what does that have to do with Astrid?
I heard him say her name.
Nothing. I was just saying,
more time with my friends.
You know, like her.
Friends who are hiding under a rock some place?
do better than that.

apart from your family.
Just like he did.
And then he left us.
Hey. Any leads on the Founder's wild child?
Uh, technically, we've got like 20.
CARA: Her tele-signature's all over the island.
she's everywhere all at once.
We got these hits at hotels across the city.
The Waldorf, the Essex, the Quin, the Plaza.
A woman of style and substance.
You taking notes, Cara?
(PULSING)
She's at the Gosford.
I'm not getting anything on her telepathically.
I don't know how, but I saw her again.
I could feel where she was.
Maybe you two are connected.
If she's as powerful as we think she is,
we can't just take her head-on.
Okay. Then, what's the plan?
a psychic connection with.
Undercover?
You know what they say, Stevie?
You catch more flies with honey.
You're the honey.
think this is gonna work?
down long enough
to slap the suppression cuff on her wrist.
I'll be with you the whole time.
And I'm here for, you know...
*** advice.
Now, get in there, stud.
I don't see her anywhere.
I am so sorry. I didn't see you.
RUSSELL: But I don't know how I missed you.
But I don't know how I missed you.
Smooth. Real smooth.
as we think she might be...
I had it coming.
(CHUCKLING)
I'm Stephen.
By the way.
Cassie. Charmed.
Sort of.
Let me buy you another.
Please.
Another martini.
So, Cassie, what brings you downtown?
I'm looking for fun.
And I think I just found it.
Wow, so, high school in England.
They call it secondary school over there.
What was that like?
(SNORTING)
Okay. And Brown. I'm impressed.
Don't be. My Dad was an alum.
He got me in. Made me go.
It's typical.
You don't sound too fond of him.
understand...
"pick up at the bar" talk.
Oh, so I'm picking you up now?
No. I'm picking you up.
Right. Um.
Well, you can still tell me about your old man,
I promise to keep the overshare between us.
(LAUGHING)
Um, my Dad's...
about anyone, or anything.
He just wants to win.
At all costs.
on the Fortune 500.
Mmm-hmm. You don't get it.
My Dad takes ruthlessness to a whole new level.
And, of course, he wants me to follow in the family biz.
Which is... Uh, thank you, I'm good.
He'll have another.
You're worried I'm trying to get you drunk.
No.
Why? Should I be?
Stephen?
How about we get out of here?
The view from the roof is incredible.
Sure. Lead the way.
ready in the lair?
teleport her back here.
CASSIE: God, I love this place.
And the worst.
At least for me.
It's complicated.
Brings back memories.
Dad again?
In a sense.
Again, you wouldn't understand.
Well, you'd be surprised.
(LOCKING)
I've been waiting for you to do that.
AGENT: Jameson! Freeze.
It's complicated.
(SMASHING)
her powers are blocked,
she's on her way.
Make it fast.
Hey, how are you holding up?
(SIGHING)
kind of secret mission.
Yeah, well, mission accomplished. Almost.
Meaning?
Meaning everything's going to be okay.
I'm gonna get you home, Astrid.
(DOOR UNLOCKING)
Ultra I remember.
This is an off-site Ultra safe house.
further instructions.
Can't we just get it over with already?
Get what over with?
I'm a rogue paranormal using my powers in public.
I know the drill.
Now, you give me that shot.
And you take my powers away, right?
It sounds like you want that to happen.
Why do you think I let myself get caught by you?
I knew you were conning me the whole time.
Why would anybody want their powers stripped?
drunk the Ultra Kool-Aid.
Try me.
We've already established I'm down with oversharing.
The great Founder?
About Ultra?
As much as I need to.
A lot of it's classified.
me around the house.
Like I was Supergirl.
Both my parents had powers.
So when I developed them, it seemed normal.
I never really understood what we were.
Other than special.
It's what my dad called us.
he did, either.
Until last month.
I was coming home from Providence as a surprise.
blocking me telepathically,
like he normally did.
But this time, I saw inside him.
I saw
who he really is.
What did you see?
(HEAVY BREATHING)
That he's a monster.
And he wants me to be the same.
But I won't do it.
I won't work with him.
alone is to become human.
But he'd never take your powers himself.
he doesn't have a choice.
You shouldn't be out of bed.
Never was one for lying around.
picking up a...
A book of poetry?
It's for Astrid. To help her pass the time.
Hmm.
So...
Are we gonna talk about what happened?
Nothing happened.
I kissed you.
And you kissed me back.
It's old habits.
Well, I'm pretty sure that one's not dead yet.
It doesn't matter, what I want.
When we're together, I can't be impartial.
You of all people should understand.
I can't put my feelings before the group.
(DOOR OPENING)
with the Founder.
I'll be back soon.
an Ultra safehouse.
Wait, then why isn't she climbing the walls?
You're not gonna believe this.
She wants her powers removed.
That's why she's been robbing banks and taunting her dad.
She's trying to force him to give her the needle.
Does she have any idea what that does to you?
She wants out.
so that I could
save Cassie from herself.
The man has all of Ultra at his fingertips,
we've ever seen. Alone.
Well, it's a little late for second guessing.
The deal is in place, if Astrid wants to...
her powers stripped?
Something tells me this is about more
than just a wild child being reined in by Daddy.
Like what?
his daughter
that will come back to haunt us.
No. You are pulling this out of nowhere.
We are trading Cassie for Astrid.
gonna to deliver.
No, we're not.
Cassie stays here.
people barging in to...
Uh, that's fine, she's family.
So this is Ultra.
for a warmer welcome.
Save it.
So, I suppose you're here to talk about Stephen.
Why did he quit?
Lies.
Lies that he learned from you.
you're implying.
Where's Astrid?
I'm sorry, refresh me. What's an "Astrid"?
her last night at my house.

at the Bureau...
You have a history of making people disappear.
You know I am.

and the newspapers,
come after you and Ultra,
and take you down.
Go to hell, Jed.
I'm sorry. Have we met?
No.
hasn't it?
Family.
I guess we all have our soft spots.
CARA: Tim?
Pull up everything you can on Cassandra Smythe.
Cassandra Smythe. Born 1992, London.
Graduated valedictorian, Royal Halloway, 2009.
the school newspaper.
Okay, and past that?
beyond that date.
That doesn't make sense.
We know she graduated from Brown.
Nothing whatsoever.
Is it possible she isn't who she says she is?
who she thinks she is.
Is it time to get my shot?
Where's Stephen?
I'm his partner.
At Ultra.
before we process you.
what's the point?
Tell me about Brown.
What do you want to know?
Who's your advisor?
That's so...
That's so strange, it just slipped my mind.
What dorm, but I can... I can picture it so clearly.
Are you sure?
If you don't believe me, call Dr. Albert Lehrman.
He's the professor who guided me through my thesis.
Which was what, exactly?
I was helping him build a device that...
That would...
God, I don't understand.
Why is my head so cloudy all of a sudden?
It's okay, Cassie.
You can just show me.
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
What did you see?
Exactly what you said.
Dr. Lehrman and the lab where you two worked.
planting false memories?
some sort of device.
real and what's not?
What is real is that Astrid is stuck down here.
trade for her safety.
Cassie is more powerful than anyone we've ever found.
her for?
Ultra? I don't work there anymore.
You still have access.
Wow. (SIGHS)
I can't believe this.
Now you're holding Astrid hostage?
If that's what you wanna call it.
know about this Lehrman guy.
Astrid goes free.
Astrid goes free.

What are you doing here, Stephen?
And more importantly, where is my daughter?
I'm working on it.
So you've gotten too clever for your own boots?

(CRACKLING)
Stephen's been gone for hours.
telepathically or something.
Maybe he's in a secure part of Ultra.
Tim, can you get a lock on him?
he entered the building.
wouldn't even know.
I'm with John.
his own daughter,
think what he'd do if he catches Stephen.
JOHN: He'll have him killed.
where his daughter is,
leading Ultra straight to us.
John, what are you doing?
Saving Stephen.
By making good on his promise to the Founder.
Cassie now, we have nothing.
what we are up against.
upsetting the children.
What's going on, is this about me?
It's about a lot of things. Better to stay out of it.
John, this is not your call to make.
I know you're leader now, Cara.
But I'm taking Cassie back to her father.
You do whatever you have to do.
Who are you?
You and I are taking a little trip.
John...
my daughter to me,
but instead you chose to complicate our arrangement
by investigating things that don't concern you.
(STRUGGLING) What was in that room?
What did you do to Cassie?
Why does she think you're a monster?
As I said, that's none of your concern.
Now, I know that you have my Cassandra,
me where she is.
I'll bring her to you.
I just need more time.
Your time has run out.
I've been inside your head before.

Where are we?

So why aren't you bringing me in?
Only you can.
I don't understand.
My father's inside. They've got Stephen.
Dr. Lerhman.
Dr. Lehrman was not your college advisor.

to Stephen.
Why did you bring me here?
Why are you telling me all this?
everything he stands for.
You want to keep him from hurting anyone else?
Stephen is our best chance to stop him.

he wants. You.

I can't force you to go back to him, Cassie.
you'll save Stephen,
and maybe he'll save all of us.

Hi, Dad!
Cassandra.

If anything, he deserves a promotion.
What? Stephen didn't tell you I was coming?
I guess he didn't want to ruin the surprise.
I kept my part of the deal.
So it seems.
What about Astrid?
her former life.
She needn't fear our organization ever again.
Was this really necessary?
you'd rather be human?
I was thinking.
For what?
Really?
You're safe now.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
That's the most hugging we've done since eighth grade.
Well, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be going home.

Yeah, well. It has been an experience.
Guess I go back to being a regular human being now.
I wish you could do the same.

Yeah.
Hi.
Hey.
I just wanna say thank you, again, for saving my life.

You should go to a hospital.
Take care of yourself.
You too.
Let's get you home.
CARA: John?
We need to talk.
I know what you're gonna say. I shouldn't have done that.
No, your gambit paid off, we got Stephen back.

But I made the right call.
in front of everyone.
I am sorry if I humiliated you.
This is not about me or my feelings.
when you don't?
Respect or obey, Cara?
This attitude of yours is dangerous for all of us.
So this is my first warning?
floors with a toothbrush?
This is your last warning. Do it again and you are gone.
Okay.
Don't walk away from me, John, we are not through.
damn decision!
Keep your voice down.
Let me save you the suspense, Cara.
who's leader down here.
John, don't.
I step out of line,
you should just do it already.
Finally some leadership advice I can actually use.
Pack your stuff.
You can say your goodbyes, and then you need to go.
Goodbye, John. Good luck.
Where are you going?
Astrid's home.
But then, you know that, don't you?
Do I wanna know how you pulled that off?
Astrid was just in.
Honey, what is going on?

Don't even know where to begin.

Um... Depends.
Are you gonna get all weird again?
you can chill. We're good.
No, it's not about that.

I've been acting different?
What's up, kettle?
Okay. But seriously, I'm worried about you.
know what it's like,
No.
...or show me, now's the time to do it.
All right, don't make me read your mind.
How'd you know?
notice something like this.
tell Mom, are you?
No. This will be our secret.
There are rules, okay?
Yeah
I didn't even like it that much.
What is this... A ***? That's your secret?
Yeah. What'd you think I was talking about?
Do your homework.
What are you going to do with me?
Do with you? Nothing, darling.

So you can return to school.
You and I both know I've never been to Brown.
Oh darling, darling, will you listen to yourself?
You sound unhinged.

No. No, get off me! I don't need your drugs!
It's okay, Cassie, it's okay. Isn't that better?

Take her away.
And activate the clean-up unit tailing Astrid Finch.
But Stephen...
It's okay, Cassie.
It's already done.
Three target's inside.
No civilians. Weapons-free.
CASSIE: (THINKING) Stephen, are you there?
Cassie, are you okay?

What is it, Marla?
Get down. Under the table.
Now!
No.
No! No! No!
I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner.
