The lights have been flickering.

Yeah, the streetlights too.

Brownout's started.

Mr. Alderson, you're under arrest.

Grab the computers, get the hard drives, all the USB drives...

I want you to lead the D.C. op.

You can stay here and crash on the couch.

Home would be better.

Have you spoken to the administration?

We're not there yet.

There he is, Terry Colby, the CTO.

You can't be offering me a job there.

You're testifying against them.

In business, grudges aren't really a thing.

You do work at E Corp.

I never said that.

Best case scenario, I lose my job and plea bargain down a jail sentence.

Tyrell's always surprising me with little gifts.

Mobley and Trenton both are AWOL.

That's when I survived.

Hello, Ollie.

It's a gift. I...

I wanted to give it to you before I forgot.

That's my last advance copy.

It's trending on Amazon's Movers & Shakers.

It's ahead of Tr*mp's latest.

Can you believe that cocksucker is actually running this time?

I mean, if I wanted, the things I have on him could put me on his ticket.

Politics... is for puppets.

Besides, if you did run for office, you'd no longer be "The Last Honest Man."

[chuckling]

Thank you, Terry.

Anyway, I need you to see our friend, Winston Campbell, about this issue tonight.

I understand he still owes you some favors.

[sighs] He does.

But a UN allowing China to annex the Congo?

Winston has the president's ear.

Oh, I get it, but I got to be honest, Philip... it's a little out there.

I know from reading the "Times" that China's got the tip of its d*ck in the Congo...

[serene classical music]

And you want Winston to tell Obama to look the other way while the chinks f*ck it dry.

I mean...

I don't know, to give them national sovereignty of another nation?

It's a little out there, don't you think?

Central Africa's a sh*t show.

After climate change, it'll be a bunch of soon-to-be corpses raging a civil w*r.

The Oval Office could spin this as a humanitarian intervention.

Well, all due respect, it's bullshit.

If he tells the ambassador to vote "yes" on this, Obama will be forever known as the man who gifted Africa to China.

No.

That's the fine point.

Obama just needs to tell his ambassador to abstain.

[window sliding]

Hello, Ollie.

[garbled radio chatter]

Why isn't she saying anything?

Is she trying to get inside my head?

[garbled radio chatter]

I still feel like she can hear us.

I feel like she can see me.

You're not going anywhere.

I know you're working with my husband.

Tell me where he is.

Sorry, I don't know.

You're being honest this time.

But you're gonna find him for me.

No one's gonna find him.

I don't think I'll be able to do that.

[chuckles]

Now you're back to lying.

Should I tell her the truth?

Should I tell her that her husband's dead?

You do that, I can guarantee we don't walk out of here alive.

On my first date with Tyrell, I saw this stunning redhead wearing a pair of cubic zirconia earrings.

I asked him what he would do to get me those earrings.

He told me he would do whatever was necessary.

I told him I wanted him to f*ck that woman and bring me her earrings.

The next morning, I woke up to a gift.

These are the cheapest things I own, yet they're my favorite.

Tyrell would always do what was necessary.

And at the end of that, I would receive a gift.

That's why I know he's alive.

That's why he's been calling me...

That's why he sent me this phone...

Because he's doing what's necessary.

You talked to him?

He called me last night.

That's impossible.

He wants to let me know that he's okay.

He has a plan.

He told you that?

No.

We haven't spoken.

He's protecting me.

That's what you do for your partner.

The calls come up as unknown.

I've tried to have him tracked, but I've been... unsuccessful.

Is this something you might be able to accomplish?

This bitch is blood simple, Elliot.

She's the wife of the psycho who strangled that woman... the same psycho who is this close to doing the same to you.

If we're around when she learns that Tyrell is dead, you don't think she'll have us k*lled?

He's right.

It's not worth it.

I'm sorry.

Can't help you.

Do you really want to say no to me?

I mean, where did he come from?

I found him gasping on the couch.

And you brought him here?

I wasn't gonna f*ckin' leave him there.

He was saying your name; I figured he was one of your guys.

Vincent. Vincent!

What is wrong with him?

How am I supposed to know?

Where are the others?

He was the only one there.

I had to cab it straight back here.

Who the f*ck is this guy?

He was one of the D.C. guys who did the Capitol Hill job.

We got to get this guy to a hospital.

No hospitals.

How do we know he doesn't have a tracker on him or a bug?

Jesus.

That looks like internal bleeding.

This guy's gonna die.

All we got to do is drop him off at an ER.

[wheezing]

He knows my face... my name.

He's gonna wake up to a drip of morphine.

I can't risk him talking.

And what?

He knew what he was getting himself into.

If we don't get him help right now, he's gonna die.

How does that not compute for you?

Our focus is finding Trenton and Mobley.

Trenton and Mobley might already be dead!

Jesus, you're completely f*cking losing it!

You wanna act like you're on top of things, but you're not.

You're buried way underneath.

You're not a leader.

You're not special.

Yeah, you guys did the hack, but you fumbled your way into this ridiculous freak accident.

That ain't leading!

It's time to drop the charade like this was all part of the plan and wake the f*ck up!

There's no way that you can justify letting him die.

Where's Agent Yang?

Excuse me?

Agent Yang?

Back there.

[camera shutter clicking]

Yes, yeah, yeah, that's correct.

It's no court.

Yeah, I got it. I got it.

Do we know the ETA on that?

I'm sorry, conference call.

Can you believe this house?

Mm, yup, sure is real nice.

We should seriously consider pooling our money together.

It's probably going to be on the market soon.

So what happened here exactly?

I was told it had something to do with the D.C. activists.

Teabaggers, yeah.

They were found two days ago in Maryland.

A car chase ensued. Ended badly.

One got away; the rest were apprehended.

This is where they were supposed to meet.

Owner's an E Corp lawyer.

Supposed to be on vacation.

Starting to look more like she's missing.

I'm sorry, hon, I'm still not entirely sure why I was called here.

That's from someone three doors down.

He was seen here.

He and another male were spotted around 10:00 p.m. getting into a cab.

The description matches a person of interest in your code name case.

Wait, he was here tonight?

Have you found the cab?

If this is really the guy, why did we burn the house?

How come we didn't put surveillance on it?

What was the thought process here?

You know Director Comey's taking a more aggressive strategy on everything ever since the sh*t hit the fan over that video.

Yeah.

I can walk you through the report if we need to.

Uh, check with Agent Burke, yes.
