Previously on "Quantico"...

My son's a greater danger to himself than you know.

I'm on a rescue mission.

Who are you trying to rescue?

Ross Edwards.

It's true the world doesn't know where my son is, but neither do you.

Only I do.

Alex, when you're around, you're all I can think about.

Raina: I can't see you.

What are you saying?

I'm sorry, Simon.

Raina got close to Hamza Kouri during our time in his cell.

And when she learned I told the FBI, she was furious.

The last time we were here, we decided to end our marriages.

And you almost did.

You have to run, Will.

Will: I will help you stop this t*rror1st from the inside.

The Voice: Send Simon with Will.

Now hand your phone to the driver of the car.


Shelby, please tell me that you're getting this.

Please tell me that Will and Simon are okay.

Tell me that you're just a victim here.

I-I need to know what you were doing driving that van.

Alex: Hi. This is Alex Parrish again.

Woman: Sorry... Ms. Wyatt is still unavailable.

I understand, but if you could just get...

I'll let her know that you called again.

No, wait, don't hang up!

Hey. You okay?

Hey, Nimah.

Yeah, just, um, playing catch-up with paperwork, you know?

You've barely slept.

[Sighs] I'm okay. Thank you.

I'll send maintenance.

Yeah. T-Thank you.

Man: Hey.

I grabbed every frame around the time you asked from surveillance cameras in the immediate area.

The car didn't have any plates, but I got a sh*t of the VIN.

It was rented and returned under the name Mark Raymond.

Does that mean anything to you?

Um, I got it from here. Thanks.

Nimah: Did it work?

Ryan: Nicely done.

Looking at her desktop right now.

[Sighs]

Is that Caleb? Why does it say "Mark Raymond"?

Well, his mom's running for office.

He probably did it to hide.

What does Alex want with him?

Senator Haas fought Alex hard during the hearing.

She never believed Alex's paranoid theory that Elias wasn't acting alone.

My guess is that she holds a grudge.

I'm gonna alert the senator's team.

Liam: Serving as an agent requires each of you to be in peak physical condition.

[Breathing heavily]

Physical fitness can mean the difference between success and failure, life and death.

That's why, as you near graduation, it's essential that all of you are fully cleared for active duty.

And that means passing the Bureau's comprehensive medical screening.

♪ Hey, now, take a look at you ♪
♪ Who's down in a million-dollar suit? ♪

Liam: We have to make sure that each of you is at your best.

Why do I feel like you're trying to outrun me, even on a treadmill?

I'm not trying to outrun you, I'm trying to get away from you.

[Laughs] Always with a comeback.

Speaking of comebacks...

Hi.

Someone's in a good mood.

Well, she likes peeing in cups.

She's into that kind of thing.

[Laughs]

No.

I got a letter this morning from you-know-who.

Oh, my God, you did? That's great!

Will. Over here.

You ready? Tonight's the big night.

Well, besides the fact that I'll be penetrating a cult under a false identity, I'd call tonight pretty average.

Stop saying "penetrating."

It's a rescue mission, not a sex act.

I highly doubt that the Islamic Front will notice if I can run a six-minute mile instead of a four-minute one.

No, but they may notice that your stride is off and that you hold your arms differently.

Never forget...

You are our greatest w*apon against America's enemies.

Director: Ms. Shaw, after a thorough review of your case, the Office of Professional Responsibility has found you guilty of professional misconduct and abuse of authority.

You will be permanently removed from your post at Quantico pending reassignment to a local field office.

I did what I did to protect my country.

I did what I did to protect my son, who's lying in a hospital bed unresponsive right now.

Good intentions are not up for review here, Ms. Shaw.

May I ask what the final vote was?

I am not at liberty to say.

The Bureau never wanted me in this position.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

It might help you to know that this was a very difficult decision.

The vote was close.

♪ ♪

Raina.

Hey, do you want to walk to class?

I'm Nimah, and, no, not with you.

Why are you wearing that?

We're back to matching.

Well, it was working...

[sighs] until you opened your mouth.

Why do we always have to match you?

I matched you last week at the airport.

For two minutes, and I saw how uncomfortable it made you to take this off.

Well, I feel naked without it.

Well, I feel suffocated with it.

It's like Day 1 all over again.

Caleb: So, Mr. Baskin, tell us about the most difficult time in your life, a time that made you realize how small and insignificant you were.

Will: It was when my sister d*ed in a car accident.

It was right in front of me.

I was young, but it sent me into a tailspin, a spir...

Don't skimp on the details.

You're meeting the adepts here, the higher-ups on the pyramid, so it is very important that you sound authentic.

Where did you first meet Mark Raymond?

Oh, it was a bookstore on the Lower East Side.

I was browsing through the self-help section, and he saw the book I was holding.

What book?

"I'm Not Afraid."

[Knock on door]

You know you're both late, right?

[Sighs]

Assistant Director Shaw?

Don't you mean "Special Agent Shaw"?

You were on the panel, so I know you know.

Why you want to take this moment to stick the Kn*fe in deeper, that's a mystery.

I'm sorry.

It's just force of habit.

If it's any consolation to you, I voted against your dismissal.

Who voted for?

It had to be someone close to me in order to sway the OPR.

Miranda... let it go.

[Car door opens]

It's gone.

Just came by to collect some of my things.

Yo, Haas.

You better not be taking advantage of my boy, Will.

Well, he's a grown man, so he could take care of himself.

Yeah, I know he is.

I'm just worried he doesn't think he needs to.

But we're getting so close. You know, you should be happy.

Hey.

He's one of the few good ones here.

Please don't screw with that, okay?

I'm watching you.

I love when you do.

[Sighs]

Please welcome back Executive Assistant Director Clayton Haas.

[Applause]

Clayton: Thank you.

It's good to be back.

Well, I came here this morning because I wanted to show you a KH satellite image of a Mexican cartel in Juarez.

But I can't... because none of you has security clearance.

Security clearance gives you access to all of the Bureau's top secret intelligence, which is crucial if you want to spend your career working on the FBI's highest-priority cases.

But in order to grant security clearance, you need to convince us that we can trust you.

Booth.

The Office of Personnel Management requires each of you to fill out a security clearance form, also know as the SF-86.

Clayton: Now, we should warn you...

The SF-86 can get very, very personal, which is why we give it to you at this stage of your training because you know each other better.

We ask for exhaustive details about your home and personal life, your ideological beliefs, drug and alcohol use, your personal finances, and, yes, your sex lives because these areas... sex, money, and dr*gs... have historically been the areas where good agents go bad, so be painstakingly honest because this form will reveal whatever it is you are hiding.

Raina?

Hmm?

Mmm. Yum, yum.

Okay!

[Sighs]

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?

Raina.

Hi. This is Alex Parrish.

I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from...

Oh, no, that would be my sister.

I'm glad to hear that, 'cause I need your help in dealing with her before something horrible happens to people I know you still care about.

Who are you talking about?

Will, Shelby, and Simon.

How soon can you get to New York?

I really want to help you, Alex, but I'm not sure I can.

I walked out of this life, those people for a reason, especially after what Nimah did to me.

Raina...

[Sighs]

I believe Caleb Haas is the key to finding the t*rror1st we let slip before.

And with Ryan and your sister breathing down my neck, I can't find out on my own.

Raina: I can't leave now.

It took them so long to take me back.

If I tell them I'm leaving again...

Alex: Raina.

Simon's life is in real danger.

His life is his own.

And even if I wanted to help you, I don't know what I can do.

I don't have security clearance.

No, but your sister does.

Clayton: The security-clearance application is a thorough and exhaustive questionnaire, so we've paired you with another trainee to help speed up the process.

"Have you ever been treated for alcohol, drug, gambling, or sex addiction?"

Um, no, no, no... and not yet.

"Have you ever been delinquent on alimony or child support payments?"

Uh, not to the kids I know about.

"Are any of your immediately family members deceased?"

Yes.

♪ ♪

"Have you ever been involved with a foreign national?"

Mm, define "involved."

This is about business ventures, which you would have known if you'd been listening to me instead of the inside of your legs.

"What are their names, nationalities, and places of birth?"

Let me go get my laptop.

And my Tinder matches.

"Have you ever been arrested?"

Does being held in contempt of court during my NFL deposition count?

I doubt it, but I'll put it down.

Are you sure that you want to lie?

I'm doing it for their own safety.

So, you're gonna risk your career for parents that you didn't even know were alive three weeks ago?

Okay, it's not like you've been fully honest, either.

Or did you just forget to mark the box under "former cult member"?

Okay, "deceased" it is.

♪ ♪

What are you doing?

[Drawer opens]

[Drawer slams]

"Have you or anyone you associate with ever been a member of a cult, a secret society, or a group-awareness program?"

Unless you want me to report the two of you to OPM, you're gonna spill.

Raina: You've done every drug on this list, even the veterinary ones?

You've never gotten high before, like, not even once?

Because of your religion?

It's because I'm not an idiot.

Iris: Cults are messed up, Will.

They take your money. They brainwash you.

They force you to do things on their behalf.

Iris, there are some things I understand that you don't.

It's as simple as that.

[Knocks on door]

Hey.

Hey.

[Sighs] Listen, about the verdict...

The OPR was right.

I ran a trainee.

I didn't see what Charlie was doing.

Well, we've both fallen short over the years.

Yeah.

We both have blood on our hands.

Hard to get off.

And yet, you're still here.

Only because you saved me.

I did, didn't I?

Anything I can do?

No.

I know better than to go to bat when the game's been called.

But...

I would like a friendly face.

How about drinks tonight for old time's sake?

Ryan could handle class. Yeah, you know?

[Both chuckle]

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

[Both chuckle]

Ryan: James Miller, Jackie Harrington, Bill Giordano, Angelita Bautista, Drew Perales, Shelby Wyatt, Iris Chang, And Raina Amin.

Clayton: Those of you still seated have been granted security clearance.

Those still standing have been flagged for further review.

[Sighs]

What do you think happened?

How can they split us up?

Do you think they found out?

Will the NATs that have been flagged please exit the classroom so that the cleared NATs can begin the investigation process?

Thank you.

Now, each of you will be investigating one flagged trainee.

You will identify the trainee's area or areas of concern, and you will do a deep dive into the specific facts of their case.

Now, we already know there's smoke.

It's your job to determine if there's fire.

Open your files. Clock starts now.

You wanted my help?

Nimah.

Yes, I was archiving the Younis case, and I can't find the FD-302.

I filled it out myself. It should be there.

Okay.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Raina: Hey.

Hey. I thought you were helping Alex.

She didn't need me after all, so I thought I'd check in with you.

Well, I just got off with Senator Haas' Secret Service team.

I told him that one of our agents had flagged something and they should beef up their security just in case.

I didn't name names for our sake.

Is that the list of people they're protecting?

Yeah.

Can I take a look?

Mm-hmm.

You're sure it's not in these piles?

What, do you think I'm lying?

I wouldn't put it past you.

We used to be friends, Nimah.

If you were my friend, you wouldn't have used my name to gain access to a CIA safe house.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll check the online files.

There are details about Senator Haas, her daughter, but not Caleb?

Senator Haas has intimated that he's undercover and his whereabouts should remain unknown.

Only she knows where he is.

Okay.

Call me if you need me.

[Sighs]

[Keyboard clacks]

Agent Booth asked me to call you.

Yes, Nimah. Is everything okay?

Parrish, she said she's on her way to see your son.

Even though you told us Caleb is deep undercover, we believe she discovered his location.

If you can tell me where he is, I can head her off and make sure she doesn't blow his cover.

No, that's all right. I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

Ryan: Raina.

Hang up the phone.

[Cellphone chimes]

[Keyboard clacking]

Agent Parrish. Come with us.

Hello, Parrish.

Let's go.

You know you could get 10 years for that little stunt you pulled today.

Impersonating an FBI agent, obstruction of justice...

You can walk out of here right now if you help us look into Alex.

We know she's off still chasing conspiracy theories, and we need to know exactly what it is she's doing before she hurts someone... or herself.

You want me to be your informant?

There are very few people that Alex trusts right now.

You're one of them.

That is more than a fair deal.

That's the difference between me and you, Nimah.

You would betray anyone, even those closest to you, if it would save you.

I prefer to spend the rest of my life in jail than to turn my back on a friend in need.

[Sighs]

Do what you have to do.

I have worked with some difficult people in Washington... bull-headed Republicans, radical Libertarians...

Ted Cruz... but never anyone quite like you.

What is it you want?

I want to speak to Caleb.

I know you're hiding him.

And please tell me why I would be hiding my own son.

That's the thing.

You're not hiding your son.

You're hiding Mark Raymond... the same Mark Raymond that rented four safety-deposit boxes at the TNF Bank, the building that became the Emergency Command Center right after Grand Central.

The building that blew up and k*lled my husband.

Yes, I'm aware.

So then are you also aware that a car used in the kidnapping of a former FBI agent just yesterday was rented under the same name?

All of it seems pretty suspicious to me, considering he's the son of a vice presidential candidate who will stop at nothing to get elected.

So you think my son is a t*rror1st?

You really have lost your mind, haven't you?

Well, if I'm that crazy, I wonder why this vice presidential nominee is taking time out of her busy schedule to talk to me.

We all know how much trouble conspiracy theorists like you can cause.

I only care about the truth.

Yeah, well, so do I.

And you have no idea how wrong you are.

Then prove it.

I plan to.

And when I do, you're gonna be dreadfully sorry.

Settle in, Parrish.

It's gonna be a long drive.

Trainees, please wait here until your security-clearance status has been updated.

How is it that Drew Perales... squeaky-clean record... gets flagged as a security thr*at?

I don't know. But he was.

And it's inappropriate for you to be asking me questions about a case that's not assigned to you.

No, no, no. Just give me a second.

It's just that I filled out his forms myself, and there's nothing in them that the OPM would be even remotely interested in.

Are you trying to use our personal history to get information out of me?

[Clicks tongue]

You should know better than that.

Oh, wait. That's right. You don't know me at all.

Which is why you've decided yet again that I'm plotting against you when the fact of the matter is you must have overlooked something.

Excuse me.

I had to lie about my parents. I had no choice.

It's gonna be okay.

No, not if OPM knows they're alive.

Did you actually see Caleb check "yes" for deceased?

There's no way that Caleb would do something like that.

He knows what my parents mean to me.

He's the whole reason that I met them.

Well, if you're not worried, than neither am I.

You don't know him like I do.

I want to trust him, for your sake, but I don't.

He's shady.

He's lied to you in the past, and frankly he's still lying to you.

About what?

Sistemics, that cult you said he used to be in...

He's still in it.

Will told me all about it this morning, He's still involved, and now he's brought Will into it.

No, Iris, that isn't even possible.

I wouldn't lie to you... not about this.

I'm too worried about my friend.

Look, I can show you.

Now, what did Caleb say to you when he filled out your form?

So, it turns out that Iris has had investments in six different countries and employed 11 foreign nationals, which automatically the OPM has flagged off as persons of interest pending inquiry.
Hey, is this Drew's file?

Nimah: Yes. Why?

Oh, no real reason.

It's just that I filled it out myself, and I was wondering why he was held back.

The OPM believes Drew isn't a patriot because of something in his deposition against the NFL.

"The government's decision to continue to support the NFL's antitrust exemption amounts to a federal license to m*rder and maim.

It makes me ashamed to be an American."

[Scoffs] They'd hold him back for this?

They're holding Iris back just for employing foreigners.

Obviously they will think what Drew said is anti-American.

[Sighs] Sorry, but I have to go figure out who has Raina's file. But you're cleared, right?

If Raina isn't, we can kiss our future assignment goodbye.

The operation will be as good as dead.

I think Will has her.

Nimah: Hi. What are you writing?

A summary of all the information I've analyzed regarding Raina Amin's area of concern.

You know my sister. There's nothing of concern.

[Sighs]

She's being flagged for being devout?

She's being flagged because she signed a petition this imam circulated in Dearborn condemning the w*r in Iraq.

Even I condemned the w*r on Iraq!

I bet you did, too.

It was a pointless w*r.

You may not know this, but Caleb Haas used to be in a cult, and I think he still may be.

Sure, Wyatt. I'd love to chat.

Come on in. It's not like I was headed out.

Caleb is in over his head.

He's a danger to himself, and if I'm gonna flagged for lying on my SF-86, he should be flagged, too.

No one is accusing you of lying.

Based on OPM's preliminary reports, you claimed you had a half-sister when you applied to Quantico.

Then, you said you had no siblings on the form.

Wait, I was flagged for Samar?

She's not really my sister.

I only found out a couple months ago.

I know.

And last I heard from OPM, they do, too.

You are cleared.

Now, what is this about Caleb?

[Sighs]

What are we doing at your house?

[Latch clicks]

Go ahead. Open it.

Caleb?

Now, are you finished with this evil-mastermind business, or do you need me to show you his track marks, too?

[Gasps]

So, when the b*mb went off...

[Sighs]

I just knew that I was gonna die.

I was just waiting for it.

And then, that's when I saw my dad.

And he pulled me out.

The next thing I know, the... [Sighs]

The whole building just... started falling on him.

So, I watched my dad die.

A-And I just keep r-replaying it over and over...

[sniffles] in my head.

And it's just, like, w-what... what... what if I... [sniffles]

What if he didn't try to save me, you know?

[Sighs]

Then, his own son would be dead.

[Sniffles]

I-I just want to go away.

[Breathing shakily]

[Sniffles]

So, you just keep him here like a prisoner so no one knows what happened to him?

[Sniffles]

I can help you.

I can help you, Caleb.

I...

I don't want your help.

Unless you're gonna score for me.

Because my mom here keeps me on a pretty tight ration.

You're giving dr*gs to him?!

When I didn't, he almost d*ed... three times.

You need to check him in somewhere!

[Laughs]

Oh, you can't.

'Cause he's a liability.

Mm, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Just four more days, until the campaign is over.

I'm weaning him off it... less and less every day.

[Sighs] Claire.

[Whispering indistinctly]

All right. All right, Caleb.

I need you to listen to me. Okay, listen to me.

There is still a t*rror1st out there.

Yeah.

Will and Simon have been kidnapped, and I think Shelby is involved.

I need you to help me find her, please.

I don't talk to Shelby.

I haven't talked to Shelby since the day my dad...

I'm never, never gonna talk to Shelby.

So, why don't you just leave?

I need you to help me find her.

Alex.

I'm not gonna help you, so leave.

Alex. Let's go.

Yeah, why don't you run?

Why don't you run like you did that day at the bank?

[Pill clatters]

[Breathes deeply]

Raina: I just don't understand what I could have been flagged for.

Brandon can't even remember his junior year of college, and he got through.

Don't sweat it.

You got nothing to hide, and neither do I.

This is just another Quantico prison experiment.

OPM has reached unanimous verdicts on all but four of the flagged trainees.

This is your chance to use your research and convince us that these four deserve our trust or need to stay on the bench.

The first trainee up for discussion is Raina Amin.

You want to come with me?

Look, I like Raina, but her signature on this petition is problematic.

The imam who circulated it has made numerous inflammatory statements about this country.

We're looking into her, not him.

Drew's a good guy, but even I have to admit what he said in that deposition was borderline unpatriotic.

Just because someone says they're ashamed of America doesn't mean they don't believe in America.

This is an influential leader, a mosque that she followed regularly.

If I attended Tea Party meetings, wouldn't you assume that I agree with their philosophies?

I won't allow this committee to persecute my sister because of her faith.

Does patriotism mean that you don't question the government, because...

Yeah, but Perales did more than question.

He tried to dismantle the very organization that he willingly joined just two years prior knowing full-well the controversies surrounding that organization.

Clayton: Agent Booth makes a very good point.

What's to keep him from attacking the FBI from within?

You assume that our faith contradicts American loyalty?

You're wrong.

The question here is not, "Does my sister believe in America?"

It's, "Does America believe in her?"

He was just trying to make a change for the better.

Ryan: For the better?

He turned his little crusade into a media circus, and he reveled in it.

You know what?

You don't know the first thing about Drew.

You're right!

Not like you do.

All right, that's enough.

The committee will render its final verdict.

So, apparently I'm not the only one who makes mistakes.

But I seem to be the only one who pays for them.

What exactly do you think this recording proves?

He slept with a trainee. I have him on tape.

You have the drunken ramblings of a man referring to an unspecified event with an unspecified "Alex." You cannot be serious!

Miranda, I know you're upset.

I know you blame Liam.

But this kind of witch hunt does not...

He doesn't get my job... not after what he's done.

You're walking a very, very dangerous line, Agent Shaw.

You always seem to protect Liam, no matter how he screws up.

Omaha, Chicago, sleeping with an agent...

He always gets another chance.

Now, I'm not saying I haven't done anything wrong, but in a lifetime of service, I'm out?

Does he have something on you?

Hm.

Miranda, you played a good hand, but you lost.

Clayton: Leave gracefully.

Raina: Can you believe that I was flagged over something as senseless as that w*r?

Well, I'm happy it worked out.

Are you? You don't seem it.

If I'm being totally honest, a part of me wonders if the Bureau's concerns weren't justified.

So, you think my faith will interfere with my job.

You sound like them now.

You sound like that Brandon...

It's what we discussed this morning.

I worry you won't be comfortable doing everything that will be required of us.

Like what?

[Sighs]

Going undercover means assuming another identity, the identity of someone unlike you, someone who may need to gain the trust of men by any means necessary.

So, this is about my modesty?

You're using my sexuality against me?

This is about who we are as people.

All this time we've been trying to match, we've just been imitating each other.

Our job is get recruited by the Islamic Front.

You can't keep looking like a perfect Muslim.

I can't look like an atheist.

We need to create a third person, someone who will attract the front, a sinful, weak woman.

Let's start.

Alex: Hey, missed you after class. You good?

I'm actually pretty tired.

Okay. What's wrong?

[Sighs]

We have a connection, and I am grateful to have found it, but I don't think we should explore it any more than we already have.

You think what happened today had something to do with me?

No, I know it didn't.

But ever since we met, my future in the FBI has been called into question a number of times.

[Scoffs]

That could be a coincidence, or it's the world telling me something... that we're not right together.

It's bad luck.

You were cleared today, Drew.

Yeah, and when that happened, you weren't excited for me.

You were excited that you proved Ryan wrong.

Oh, please. Now, that's not fair.

Alex, I see the way that you look at him.

It's the same way that he looks at you.

It's like you lost each other at a party and you finally catch a glimpse of his eye across the room.

It's only a matter of time.

And that's okay. I'm not angry.

I'm just getting out of the way.

[Door opens]

[Sighs]

What did you tell Shelby?

I told her the truth... just like I told your little cult the truth.

Wait, w-what did you do?

Look, I don't care what do you with your life, but I'm not gonna let you endanger Will's.

I told them he's an agent. They'll never let him in now.

Y-You told him that? He's on his way there now.

You just put his life in danger.

I was trying to protect him.

Pick up. Come on, come on.

I would have never called Sistemics if I knew he was going there.

[Door opens]

Caleb, what are you...

Look, I-I'll explain this to you later.

I got to go.

W-What...

I'll explain later. I'll explain later.

What just happened?

[Engine shuts off, car door closes]

We've been waiting for you, Mark.

Or should I say Caleb Haas?

Where's Will?

Don't worry about your friend.

Worry about yourself.

We put our faith in you, Mr. Haas... no one more so than me.

T-This whole thing is a big misunderstanding.

Will Olsen is not my friend. I barely know the guy.

Yes, we both work for the FBI, but he came here to bust me.

I'm here to help Sistemics, to protect you guys from the FBI from the inside.

Well, we'll see about that.

I knew you were ambitious, but this?

This is criminal.

Do you have any idea what's it been like for me to watch him suffer like that?

To have him thr*aten to k*ll himself if I don't let his drug dealer in the house?

Check him into rehab!

Get him the help he needs!

[Scoffs] Right.

And have him on TMZ?

We all know how that ends.

He's fighting an uphill battle.

I'm not gonna put him at the center of the national spotlight.

He's getting better here.

I can take care of him here.

I can protect him here.

The only thing you're protecting is yourself and your campaign.

You have no idea how hard I've worked to get where I am today, against what odds.

I have devoted my entire career, not to mention my current platform, to keeping America safe, and we are still behind in the polls because of me.

You're going to lose your only son.

He left me a long time ago.

Senator, your car is here.

Amanda, would you please get a car for Alex and have it take her back to New York?

Can I come in?

I need you to listen to me.

And I need you to listen closely.

The day you arrived, I knew you were special.

You asked tough questions.

You demanded answers about your father, about what happened in Chicago, about what happened in Omaha.

You fought for the truth.

You don't quit.

I see that in you, and that will take you far.

But it will also get you in trouble.

You and I have a lot in common.

More than you know.

And that is why, Alex, I believe that you are the only trainee here who can do what I was never able to do... shatter the glass ceiling.

Is that loose enough?

I know it's a compromise, but I think it's best, when we go outside the class, I'll wear long sleeves.

Thank you.

Miranda: They favor men for promotions.

They protect them from punishment, no matter their weaknesses, no matter what they do.

Don't be fooled by their faces.

You have to be willing to play dirty.

Because that, it seems, is the only thing that works.

Oh, maybe I was wrong to say you shouldn't worry about your friend.

Hey, I never wanted to leave Sistemics.

My dad pulled me out. You guys are my people.

It's not them.

Why should we believe a word you say?

Look, I can... I can prove it.

Tell me what to do. I can prove it.

That's good. Prove it right now.

How?

Hit him.

What?

Is he your friend or not?

It's too late for me.

But it's not for you.

They are going to try to hold you down.

They are going to try to hold you accountable for things that they never would be.

But don't let them.

You keep fighting.

You do what you have to do.

Again.

Aah!

Stop! What are you doing?

[Sobbing]

Raina, where are you? I've been calling.

[Sighs] Caleb, he's just not...

Not what?

What?

They don't know I'm gone, so we got to hurry.

If you're out, the only place I'm taking you is to rehab.

You need help.

Whoa, whoa, okay.

You can take me to Promises when this is all over, but [sniffles] right now, I think you're the only one that needs help.

So, where's my bag?

I threw it out here somewhere... dropped it out the window.

Caleb: Keep an eye out for my mom's henchmen.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

She fell for it.

We're on our way now.

I'll see you soon.
