Oh, God.
Too hot?
I don't know anymore.
It's 9:28, kiddo.
It's perfect, trust me.
It's too cold.
Ohh. Really?
Yeah.
You know, you could
get it yourself.
And that way, it would be
exactly the way you want it.
Yeah, I know.
Or I could get it.
Gary?
Gary?
Gotcha.
It died again.
Where's the cord?
It's over there.
You like 'em runny
or well done?
Runny.
Sorry. I overcooked 'em.
Milos Kosar--
intel says Red Flag's
most aggressive operations
are run through his cell.
Hmm.
He doesn't look so scary.
This man nearly
had us all killed, Nina.
He was the one who sent
the Ghost after us.
He's our prime suspect
in ten other cases.
I'm the one who found him.
I followed his cell phone.
Yes, you did, Gary.
Thank you very much.
It was easy.
Can I keep the vest?
Gary, please.
I can't concentrate.
Please stop with the straps.
There are six heartbeats
on the perimeter.
Three in the house.
Three heartbeats
inside the house.
Copy that, Bill?
All right, copy that.
No names
over the comms, please.
Over. Team Two,
there's three unfriendlies
on the inside.
Copy that?
Over.
Copy.
Team Two,
you're good to go?
Hell, yeah.
My vest smells like cop sweat.
Team Two,
ready at the back door.
Team One and Team Two
in position, over.
They don't know
that we're here.
Element of surprise
is still ours.
Intel says they're planning
something any day now.
My gut says move.
Yeah, what does
the rest of you say?
LookThese
are your people.
You know them
better than I do.
Gum?
Keeps the mouth
from getting too dry.
It always happens on these
kind of deals, you know?
You know, you got the dry mouth
because of all the adrenaline.
Yeah, maybe I will.
Thanks.
Gonna need two minutes
to get in position
behind the door.
It's pretty exposed.
When the signal comes,
run for the door.
I'll get you in.
You know
who we are, right?
In our briefing,
they said you guys
were civilians.
They said that, huh?
SWAT?
Do I look like
I don't know what I'm doing?
F.B.I.
Least I still think I am.
Set here, one.
Heartbeats steady.
All right, let's go.
Rachel.
Good to go.
Team One.
All right, let's do this.
Call the Team Two.
One.
We're a go.
Milos, we've got company!
Bill!
Hicks, what the hell
happened?
Original Air Date on August 1, 2011
Don't say no ♪
for an answer ♪
and there's no telling ♪

Bill, can you hear me?
Bill, two heartbeats moving,
one static!
Rachel, do you copy?
Bill, do you hear me?
Only picking up one heartbeat
in the backroom.
Not moving.
Move, move, move!
- Rachel, what's going on?
- Why did that happen?
Static in the back room.
Bill, do you hear me?
There's only one heartbeat
in the back room now.
Anna, if you can hear me,
Blink once for yes.
Twice for no.
Ah, her senses work.
But her ability to understand
and communicate
is compromised.
She's most likely autistic.
Low functioning.
At the far end of the spectrum.
Harken says the home
is in her name.
No family.
No one to complain
when Red Flag moves in.
So what do we do with him?
Good question, Nina.
It's all plans
and technical information.
I'll have someone
check it out.
But the good news is these guys
boogied out of here so fast,
they left a lot of evidence.
Dr. Rosen,
there's singe marks here
and on the ceiling.
This is definitely not
your typical blackout.
What about this computer?
It's encrypted.
Hmm.
It's a neat little trick
they pulled off.
In all the confusion,
they must have just
jumped out the side window.
They just walked away?
Uh, yeah, after they
blacked out everything,
somehow they got away.
That was a statement,
Mr. Hicks,
not a criticism.
Sounds like
a criticism to me.
Are you kidding me?
They send us in here against
Alphas with unknown skills,
and somehow, we're supposed
to know every angle.
Yeah, thought
that was D.O.D.'s job.
Nina, I think the best
clue we have right now
is this home.
It might still pick up
incoming signals from Red Flag.
So what about
the girl, Anna?
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'll make some calls,
see if I can get her
into a home.
In the meantime,
Sullivan's people
will keep a watch out
for the three of you.
Uh, the three of us?
Meaning me?
Yes, I want Gary here,
scanning for signals.
I'm supposed to babysit?
Yes, just keep him focused.
He gets the egg salad
at 1:30.
The question of who is normal
isn't medical.
It's political.
If you hear voices,
are depressed,
or attracted
to the same sex
If you believe in God
or believe in nothing
At one point or another,
society has branded you
with the stigma
of mentally deficient.
We are not normal
by any strict definition.
But we reject the label
of deficient.
Okay, I think we get it.
In many ways,
we are simply better than
This is the stuff we took
from the house, right?
Yes.
And that frightens them.
Shouldn't
we let it finish?
This is the remote
for the Blu-ray.
Well, it's just some pieces
I've seen before,
more propaganda
for their followers.
We need to discuss
Milos Kosar.
No, that sounded like
a mission statement to me, Doc.
Now, if Red Flag
has a plan,
wouldn't this help us
figure it out?
Murdering their enemies
is their plan, Cameron.
You know that
better than anyone.
Can we move on, please?
This conversation's done.
Bill, what have we got?
It's a triggering device.
Sorry.
Can we please get
a proper conference table?
Triggering device?
Yeah, a detonator,
so you can blow something up
by remote.
Found a lot
of other stuff too
and a ton of info
on Northwell Petroleum.
It's a regional fuel company.
There's the goal
we're talking about.
- So the big guy's strong.
- Mm-hmm.
John Woo guy's got aim.
What do you do?
I can fly.
Really?
Yeah. Laser beams
shoot right out of my eyes.
All right,
forget I asked.
I know you're
saying something,
but I--
I don't understand.
Nina!
Don't answer.
All right, what's up, Gary?
I said don't answer!
You have a listening problem.
Put it on mute!
Hitting mute.
Now I've got a signal.
I can look at your sounds.
Okay, Anna,
I can see it now.
I can see the sounds.
Okay, I can see the
You.
This is you.
"Can"?
"Can."
This comes after the "I."
What's next?
"Help." Help what?
Help.
Okay, "help."
I
"I can help you find them."
"I can help you find them"?
Huh.
The signal that I found
in my bathroom,
that was Kosar's cell phone.
But I couldn't
understand the voice.
It's just--it's bloops
and scratches.
But it's not a voice.
It's her language.
And she's the only one
that can speak it.
She invented it.
Red Flag must have used her
to encode some of their
transmissions.
No, all of
their transmissions.
She understands everything.
She can understand me, Gary?
Yeah, she understands
everything.
Every language.
Every language?
Yeah.
Huh. "It's nice
to meet you too, Dr. Rosen."
She says that's a message
for you from Anna.
Swahili.
Chinese.
Even some obscure
Hindi dialect
I picked up from a yoga
instructor in Dharamsala.
She understands it all, Nina.
I guess you do too,
Mr. Modest.
She's a virtual
Rosetta Stone.
She's a living, breathing
universal language translator.
Yeah, I know what
a Rosetta Stone is, thanks.
I looked through
her case history,
and she has been
consistently diagnosed
as severely autistic
and sometimes even
mentally disabled.
But that's not the case.
She has severe apraxia.
It's a condition
which affects speech
and other motor skills.
She may not be able
to sign or nod hello,
but her language
and pattern recognition is--
it's enormously enhanced.
She has taken all the sounds
that she can make
and she has created
her own, unique language,
and no one noticed.
No one noticed
that she is an Alpha.
- Gary did.
- Yes, Gary did.
And so did Red Flag.
Hmm.
You know, with Gary's help,
she could translate
every message on that tablet.
And we don't have
to chase after Kosar.
We find out
where he's going.
So we take her
back to the office.
No. No, uh
Familiarity, continuity,
the, you know,
the day to day--
it's very important,
given her condition.
I think they should stay here.
Rosen.
Lee, do you have any idea
what time it is?
UhSandra.
Hi, sweetie.
I'm not going to bed.
I missed 9:30,
so I'm gonna stay up.
All night!
You can't get him
off schedule like this.
I know, Sandra,
I'm very sorry.
- But he doesn't adapt well.
- I know, I know.
I know this is good for Gary,
but, uh
This can't keep up.
He met a girl.
- A girl?
- Yes.
She's about his age.
And I've never seen him take
to anyone so quickly.
Well, is she, uh
Well, she has some
cognitive disabilities, yes.
Like Gary.
Uh, not as social.
But, um, she's quite
extraordinary in her own way.
Wow.
Well
That's, um
That's good.
It is.
Yeah, it is.
And, uh, I promise,
no more late nights.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Dr. Rosen wants us
to translate all of them.
Anna.
He thinks your special language
abilities
will help us decode
the encrypted emails
on this tablet.
Hey, what's this, Anna?
I just want the email.
You're controlling this.
With those sounds.
You have a secret, Anna.
Now we can really talk.
- Ha!
- One friend to another.
You sound like the lady
on my voice mail.
That's really cool, Anna.
Ah. No.
No, it's not so amazing.
Dr. Rosen says that
a part of my brain just--
it grew bigger than
other people's.
And so I--I can see
all the waves that float around.
They look like
colors and shapes.
Hey, Gary,
you working in there?
No, I'm talking to Anna
about myself.
She thinks that I'm amazing.
I do too, Gary.
Just get back to work, okay?
Yeah. Anna, we have
to get back to work.
The first message.
The one that I followed here.
This one.
The brownout
was localized to an area
directly around the home,
and it gets stranger
from there.
The carpet's singed
and the fibers clump together
in dense patterns.
It's really strange.
I've never seen anything
like it before. See?
No, I can't, Rachel,
but I trust you.
Some sort of static
electrical interference, hmm?
Maybe. It was powerful
and tightly controlled.
That's our Alpha skill
right there.
Now, at least we know
what we're up against.
Doc.
I found something.
Gary sent me a ton of these,
but this is the one
that caught my attention.
USDOT?
Department of Transportation.
It's a routing number for
a Northwell Petroleum truck
that's on the road right now.
So he's gonna blow up
a fuel truck.
No, 'cause
we're gonna stop him.
I hate these faucets,
you know?
The sensors never work.
- We okay?
- Yeah.
What's the problem?
Ignition is electric.
Ah, give it a minute.
It'll bleed off.
Explosives.
Yeah.
Are they in place?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's good.
Be careful with this.
♪
Second car is in place,
ready on your go.
Tell your guys
to be extremely careful.
Rosen says this guy can conduct
electricity or something.
Something like that.
Oh, that's great.
Yanks have a day game
against Boston today.
I'd love to make it home
in time for that.
Target in sight.
Satellite has confirmation
on the USDOT number.
It's a match.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
Mobile one to mobile two,
gonna divert target
west at intersection.
Copy that.
En route.
Target coming your way.
Locked in on target.
We got him.
Out of the cab!
Now!
Hands up where I can see 'em!
Where's the bomb?
Bomb? I got no idea
what you're talking about!
It's not Kosar.
It's not him!
Debrief him and let him go.
Empty.
You checked the number?
And did you re-checked
the number, Bill?
Of course.
What about the driver?
Are we certain he is
who he says he is?
For all I know,
he could be Mark Sanchez, okay?
But he wasn't Kosar.
It wasn't him.
Look, we put a scare in him
back in Montclair.
It is possible
that he ditched the plan.
No, no.
Not Milos Kosar.
He's an ideologue
and he is not
easily intimidated.
And he's out there
with a bomb,
and I--which I assume
he's going to use,
and we have no idea
where he's going.
Nina
I want Gary at the office
as soon as possible.
We need him.
I need help sometimes.
A woman comes to buy groceries
and pay bills,
but I'm in charge
of my own life.
I'd like to buy
my own clothes.
My mom won't let me.
She won't let me
Buy a leather jacket
like the one
in Step Up to the Streets.
You're really smart.
Yeah, I am really smart.
I don't--I don't like
to do some things.
Anna, you don't know me well.
I don't like
to take care of myself.
I think I know you
a little bit.
Yeah.
Okay, is this right?
Only one mistake.
No, I got that right.
The date--
it should say 2011.
Count to ten.
Anna, count to ten.
I want to check something.
Anna.
- Maybe you're right.
- Yeah, I know.
But count to ten,
'cause I wanna check this.
It could be something else.
Never mind.
Gary
Hi, um
I need to take Gary with me.
Rosen wants us back.
Yeah, I want to stay.
Wasn't an offer, Gary.
Well, I'm not leaving.
NoYou're going.
We both are.
UhNo.
No, I'm staying.
Hey, Gary,
just get in the car now.
- Hey! Don't try and push me.
- Excuse me?
You're trying to push me,
and it doesn't work on me.
No, I know it doesn't work,
and I wasn't.
So what's eating you?
Ha! That's
a stupid question.
Nothing's eating me.
I'm not leaving.
Okay, big shot.
Well, who's gonna
take you back?
I am--the big shot
will drive himself back.
Or I'll call a cab,
since I don't have a car.
Gary, I don't have time
for this.
Just get in the car now.
I'm not leaving!
I'm not a big shot.
I'm an adult.
And I don't have
to do what you say.
It's the end
of the conversation.
Okay.
My C.O., guy used to say,
never let the fight
get personal.
Well, they tried
to kill me, Cameron.
It doesn't get more personal.
Don't you want
to know why?
I know why.
I stood in their way.
Apparently,
Red Flag doesn't need
any more justification
than that.
Okay.
You know, you make things
personal, you get emotional.
You get emotional,
you make mistakes
and you overlook stuff.
I seem to remember
someone telling me that
about my Alpha skill.
Don't be cute.
Uhh, okay.
You wanna catch this guy.
I get it.
Just let him be the one
that makes the mistakes.
I'm glad you stood up
for yourself.
I'm glad you stayed here
with me.
I like you, Gary.
Then why did you lie to me?
I knew that there was
something weird about the date.
'Cause a 10 was a 20.
And you--you didn't
want to explain.
So I went back
through the messages.
And if I thought that a two
was a one,
then the first code
that you gave me
was wrong.
And that's why
the truck was empty.
And you don't make mistakes
with that.
'Cause that's
your Alpha skill.
You gave me the wrong number
on purpose.
But that was smart.
You were smart.
Because if you just
made something up,
I would have known.
So you made it close,
and you changed the number
so that we wouldn't
find the real truck.
I know you did,
because
they weren't making you
do anything.
You work for them, Anna.
You work for Red Flag.
No, Gary,
I don't work for them.
They work for me.
This is really bugging me.
This doesn't make any sense.
Okay, so we're assuming
That Red Flag
ditched their plan, right?
But did
You know she can smell your
hands were on that, right?
No.
She's gonna smell that
your nasty hands
were on that thing.
Anyway, we're assuming
that Red Flag
ditched the plan, right?
But the driver finished
his route in Pennsylvania,
which means that
the truck was empty
by the time
we got to the road.
So then the question is,
why would Red Flag plan
to go after a truck
with no fuel in it?
Exactly.
Hmm.
You know what
I would love to see?
A Unicorn sliding down
a rainbow?
No, I would love
to see a list
of all the Northwell trucks
on the road right now
with fuel in them.
- South?
- Yep, heading south.
There's no way we can
cover all those trucks
at once,
even if I can convince someone
that I'm right.
I think you're right.
I write them.
My friends trust me.
If you were with us,
we would trust you too.
Huh.
We would never
treat you like a child.
Yeah, well
I could figure it out.
'Cause I know
the real number.
So I could figure out
the plan.
I'm sure you could.
Yeah, I could, but
It'd be better
if you just told me
where they were going.
Anna, I don't want anyone
to get hurt.
If you were my friend,
then you'd tell me.
You are my friend,
and I will tell you.
Okay, good.
I don't want to hurt anyone,
either.
But, sometimes,
we don't have a choice.
There's a drug
to prevent birth defects.
But lots of things are
considered birth defects.
You're not answering
my question.
Now, you're telling me
something else.
Alphas--that's the word
Dr. Rosen used, right?
Women who take this drug
won't give birth
to any more Alphas.
But why would they do that?
That doesn't make any sense.
Society can't deal with
people like us.
We need to send
a message to them.
We are not a problem
to be fixed.
Make a choice
for yourself, Gary.
All you have to do
is say nothing.
You haven't answered me.
What are you going to do?
I never made
my own friends.
I--I know people.
And they say that
they're my friends, but
I didn't meet them,
like how I met you, Anna.
I know, Gary.
Yeah, so
Are you really my friend?
Orwere you just
pretending
so that I'd send them
the wrong information?
Okay, good.
'Cause I just--
I did something.
Sneaky.
AndI don't think
that you're gonna like it.
Sullivan,
look, I'm not saying
it won't cause panic.
You know, maybe it will
cause panic.
But you tell me,
what other choice do we have?
Bill
No, tell me!
Look, you could send
to stop the ones
heading there.
Bill, you need
to look at this.
I'll call you back.
I want him here, Nina.
We need Gary's skills.
Was I unclear about that?
Shouldn't you ask Gary why
he doesn't want to come back?
What, you don't think
I get it?
Yes, Gary has met
someone like him.
It's new.
It's exciting.
But that doesn't make
his behavior any less juvenile.
And it doesn't make you
leaving him there--
I didn't leave him there.
He wanted to stay.
I'm not his mom,
and I'm not his babysitter!
- Let's go.
- Trenton, New Jersey.
Montclair Pharmaceuticals.
What's going on?
Gary found Kosar.
We got a truck
loaded with fuel
headed
to the Montclair plant.
Now, apparently,
there's a new drug
that Red Flag
wants to destroy
before anyone
gets a chance to take it.
I don't understand.
He texted you this?
Yeah.
Well, how did he get
the number wrong
in the first place?
Doc, it was the girl
the entire time.
She is Red Flag.
The girl?
Yes! She gave us
the wrong information
to gave her guys
more time to move.
Let's go.
Gary's still there.
Bill!
You and Hicks go ahead.
We're gonna go get Gary.
Rachel
This is Kosar
we're talking about.
Come on, this is our shot.
I know. Go get him.
Let's go!
- Come on.
- Let's go, let's go.
I'm sorry
that I had to do it.
Anna, I had to because
your friend Kosar,
he tried to kill Dr. Rosen,
and that's wrong.
Rosen isn't like us.
He's not an Alpha.
No, he's not,
but he is my friend.
Anna, you don't have
to worry, okay?
I'm gonna make sure that
nothing bad happens to you.
Dr. Rosen's
gonna help you now.
Like how he's helped me.
I don't need his help.
And neither do you.
I hope someday
you'll see that.
No
What is that?
Who's coming?
Anna, what did you send?
Aah! Aah!
Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ah!
Aah! Aah!
They're coming.
It's through the gate.
All right,
it's the R and D building
on the southeast corner
of the campus.
That is the target.
Evacuate immediately.
Okay, take the wheel.
- What?
- Take the wheel!
We can't wait
for the timer!
Get it as close as you can
And then blow it!
Well, where you going?
Uhh!
Hicks, the truck!
Don't blow it up.
Thanks, Bill.
Just let me concentrate.
Wha
- Aah!
- Hey!
Hold it steady!
- Hicks, you ready?
- I'm on it!
- Freeze!
- Go get Kosar!
Uhh!
Move!
Uhh!
Gary?
Gary? Gary?
Are you, uh
Are you all right?
Gary!
I have a headache.
Are you--are you hurt
anywhere?
No.
Hi, Nina.
- Hey.
- Where's Anna?
I don't know, Gary.
I don't know.
She was gone
when we got here.
Oh, I need my phone.
Here, here it is.
Thank you.
You're okay, right?
Yeah.
Gary, I--
I know you liked Anna,
but remember,
I'm your friend too.
YeahI know.
But you're not one of us.
You're not.
Gary, I don't make
distinctions like that.
Now, I don't know
what Anna told you,
but I want you to remember
that Red Flag is just
a small group of people
with some
very extreme ideas.
Yeah, I know.
You already told me that
Before.
I sent you an email,
Dr. Rosen.
And you should read it.
You wanna test it?
No.
I'm not going back down.
No, if it's too cold,
then I can get it myself.
I can take care
of myself.
Okay.
Good night, mom.
Good night, sweetie.
I love you.
I'm sorry, Gary.
I hope you are still
my friend.
Hmm.
The drug makers and educators
have been warned.
If they try to bring
this poison to market,
we will act again
And we will continue
to do so
until they understand
true neurodiversity
cannot be limited by
their small minds.
We picked this up
over an open frequency.
They didn't bother
to encode it,
so I had our speech analyst
take a look.
The writing matches--
It's her, no question.
Hicks warned me,
and I did not listen.
I underestimated
this young woman.
And not just
her ability,
but the strength
of her argument as well.
I'm not getting
your point, Rosen.
What, are you
switching sides?
No, this drug was designed
to limit the chances
of brain damage in infants.
If it had gone to market,
it may indeed
have prevented other Alphas
from being born.
I don't know that.
All I know is that there's
good guys and bad guys,
and today, your people
put the bad ones in the ground.
Yes, they did.
And I can appreciate that.
I can have two conflicting
thoughts at the same time.
Something Don Wilson
used to say.
I hardly knew the man.
Fine, stay conflicted.
But all this is
is a bunch of criminals
who used an issue to try
to expand their reach.
Maybe.
I want to show you something.
Rosen and I
always thought Red Flag
was a loose network
of 50 to 100 affiliates.
A cartel, but---
When Anna flooded
Gary with messages
we got quite a different picture.
This more than
a criminal enterprise.
This is a movement.
