You have quite the record, my friend.
Where's Erin?
She'll be just fine.
You're our main priority right now.
You need to take me back to her.
She's out there all by herself.
Maybe if you and her
wouldn't have done your Robin hood
or little John routine, you
wouldn't be here right now.
Take me back.
Whatever it is you're trying
to offer, I'm not interested.
You have a unique set of
skills that are of great interest
to us, which, by the way,
I should probably tell you,
you no longer will be brought Daniels.
[Music playing]
No, no, no.
As of today, you are now property
of the United States government.
Welcome to the CIA, Alec Monroe.
[Gentle patriotic tune]
[Tense music]
[Typing]
You shall know the truth, and
the truth shall set you free.
[Birds chirping]
[Tense music]
[Phone beeps]
We're just now finding out about this.
What else is the government hiding from?
How can anyone feel safe in this country?
The president needs to
do something about this,
about CIA.
Breaking news this morning.
A whistleblower
codenamed argyle has released
shocking information.
Leaked documents from
argyle speak in great detail
about the rancor directive,
a black ops program designed
to alter and replace human memories.
According to declassified documents,
rancor was originally
designed to cure patients suffering
from post-traumatic stress.
But that's not what CIA
director Mason west had in mind.
Following this
discovery, CIA director Mason west
was asked to attend an
emergency senate hearing.
Director west.
You got to be kidding me.
Were you aware that your own agency was
targeting American citizens?
The main objective was
to save American lives.
One of the leaked
documents here says, and I quote,
"the rancor directive is designed
to override an individual's past,
effectively altering
their present and future
for the means of
recruitment and protecting
"classified information."
I think I told you to
go to sleep already.
Well, mommy's awake.
Well, your mommy is
starting her new job tonight.
And you and your sister
are at school in the morning.
Does the TV lie?
What are you talking about?
They were saying mean things about you.
Come on, let's go to sleep.
In an unprecedented turn of events,
president Helvin has signed
an executive order effectively
dissolving the CIA.
A CIA's failure as an
agency, I can assure you,
has not been limited to
its outright negligence
to the security of the American people.
With election season
just around the corner,
his numbers have already begun to
skyrocket in the polls.
The creator of rancor,
codename argyle, is still in hiding.
It's not clear how
much involvement argyle
had in the final development process.
But he has been on a new
fly list for some time.
I swear.
I'll catch that b*stard, hold on.
This news break is brought to you by
hymer pharmaceuticals,
your health, our mission.
Night Chloe.
Goodnight, sissy.
Love you.
Love you too.
(Door opens)
Kids are in bed.
You're a Saint, thank you babe.
What time do you give me back?
I have no idea.
Who did you say
you're working with again?
Dr. Cindy Shaw, apparently, oh,
she's having a hard time
finding people to work with her.
Ah, that sounds promising.
I'll figure it out, I guess.
You're looking for this?
You're a Saint.
Love you.
I love you too.
Okay.
(Crickets chirping)
And how is 266?
Ready and waiting.
Perfect.
Forgive me, I had some
business to take care of.
Oh, that's all right.
So how are you doing?
The best that I can.
There's just some things I
wish I could forget, you know?
That's everybody.
In fact, if it
weren't for a few key things
that happened to me at an early age,
I wouldn't be where I am today.
Granted, not everything was good,
but how can we appreciate
the good without the evil?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I just want to say thank
you for taking so much time
on your schedule for me.
It means a lot.
You're very sweet.
I enjoy talking to you.
So have you decided to
pursue the treatment?
Yeah, I think I'm ready.
Great, follow me.
Have a seat.
Thank you, Dr. West.
You really do like helping people, huh?
That's my gift.
[Device beeping]
Is it gonna hurt?
You'll be fine.
Yeah, I do that.
You'll be fine.
Relax.
I just want to forget.
I don't want to.
I just want to.
I just want to.
[Heart monitor beeps]
Take him away.
Who do we have lined up for tomorrow?
Subject 267 is Aaron Daniels,
but don't you think we should...
Set it up.
We have a deadline to meet.
Thank you.
[Tense music]
[Fire crackling]
[Engine hums]
(Door slams)
(Knocking)
(Door creaks)
(Door slams)
What's the word?
We found something.
Have a seat.
Do you know who this is?
Not ringing a bell.
When our guy elite
rang core to the press,
he also found out that there was some
detailed information
about other agents that were
administered doses of rang core.
And your name was on that list.
What?
Wait, no, hold on.
Listen, just relax.
We didn't want to tell you until...
To what?
How long did you know?
How long were you
gonna keep this from me?
How am I expected to accept this?
We just found out.
The reason why, we
just wanted to make sure
that list was valid.
That's supposed to be me.
Who is she?
She's your sister.
Aaron Daniels.
That's not all, Alec.
Your name is not Alec Monroe.
It's Brock.
Brock Daniels.
Is there any way I can remember her?
I remember any of this?
Our friend, argyle,
developed a serum just for you.
It'll help you get back to square one.
You know, I'm not good with needles.
If I go through with this,
will I remember any of this?
Any of you?
Alec, I know this is hard on you,
but I would want to know.
Still trying to figure
out who's behind all this.
We don't know.
The CIA has secrets upon secrets.
We're just trying to lend a hand
and try to clean up this mess.
I've had a sister.
This whole time.
Both of you were foster kids.
Whatever dose of rancor you were given,
conveniently erased her from your memory.
Convenient.
With Aaron's record,
I don't think her life's
gonna get back on track
unless you intervene.
Where is she?
I have a last known location.
Alec, it's your choice.
Your choice, if you want
to remember her or not.
I suggest you find her first.
It's possible seeing her,
good memories of your childhood,
could bring part of your past back.
If not, we'll give you our gal serum.
That's not a bad idea.
Thank you.
Good luck.
(Dramatic music)
After our father worked up
the nerve to call my own man,
he had a good talk.
I knew there wasn't
anything else I could do.
I'm so sorry, man.
You know, try to work with people.
In his case, I wanted to work with him.
He did.
Yeah, I know the feeling.
I still haven't called my mom.
I don't know if I'm going to.
I don't even know if
she wanna hear from me.
I'll be praying for you.
You know, things don't
always work out the way we plan,
but they do work out the
way they're supposed to.
Take me, for instance.
I've been through so much trauma,
and I have so many memories that I would
really rather forget.
And I know that Dr. Shaw can help me.
I think she has the answers to the questions.
I was thinking about
something the other day.
You know those movies with those guys?
It's on the submarines.
I hear them watching the radars.
I see the bleep, and
they're radioed a captain,
and everybody's just going to a frenzy.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Or sometimes it's an enemy,
or sometimes it's a friend.
I learned in life.
I learned that it's not
the case at all times.
Look, I know I made my
first year enemies and friends.
But when I found out
everyone's not meant to be in your life,
no matter how much it hurts,
but we gotta move on, you know?
It doesn't define
your future, right, doc?
Absolutely.
Aaron, you've been awfully quiet.
Is there something
you would like to share
with the rest of the group?
Well, that'll be all for today.
Drive safe.
I'm sorry for singling you out.
We all have our demons.
But you don't have to face them alone.
I'm not exempt either.
Sometimes doctors need doctors.
[Tense music]
(Eerie music)
I'm telling you I don't
know where he is shut up
you know how this ends
how do you know i'm
not looking for him too?
How do I know you're not protecting him?
I have his last known location
but I've been there myself
I'm telling you
the guy is a ghost
I gotta give it to you buddy
you got one hell of a poker face
see if you still got one after him
I'm telling you I don't know where he is
start talking and make it make sense
grab my phone
talk
right now as we speak
that is running an AI program
that is tapped into every
single security camera in the us
if that doesn't work
we go to consumer devices
laptops
cellphones
doorbells
backup cameras
if that doesn't find him
nothing will
if you take the g*n out of my chest
once it's found him
we can work together to get to him
okay, let's pretend I believe you
let's just pretend I do okay
this is what's gonna go down
you're gonna sit there in
the back like a little tech boy
I'm gonna do the grunt work
stay low
be quiet
just get out of my way
and we'll get along
just fine
clear?
Clear
let's get you out of here
[Tense music]
[Car engine]
[Car door opens]
[Car engine]
[Car door opens]
Erin!
Come back!
I would hate to see
you get arrested again.
I know you stole the
city councilwoman's car.
Whatever it is you're trying to find, I
can help you find it.
As long as you stay
outside of prison, son.
What do you get out of it?
I beg your pardon?
Helping me.
It's worth it for me to know you're safe.
The world's a bad place.
If you're not
careful, it'll eat you alive.
You have any hobbies?
How about family? Is this
someone I could call for you?
I always like getting a visitor.
Sometimes it gets lonely around here.
You know, I'd really
like to talk to you, Erin.
I know you're afraid.
It's not that simple.
It's not supposed to be.
You know, when I was a little girl,
my mother bought me a
wonderful green dress.
I loved that dress.
I wore it every chance I could get.
One day I came home and
it wasn't in my closet.
I looked all over the place for it.
I cried and cried and cried.
It was the only thing in
life I really truly valued.
Years later I discovered
that my father found it
and used it to wipe up beer he spilled
out the kitchen floor.
Threw it away without a fight.
It was hard for me, but...
Ceway

[Wind howls]

[Indistinct whispering]
(These tables of view are destroyed)
They Reeves
[traffic noise]
You're out here late
oh that's where I belong
that's a12
do you really need that?
Needs versus what misses
tonight I have both
well, I feel looking for
damage guides on Raquel
so I say you want to play huh?
Not tonight
Rock what are you
doing? Come on, let's go
I
don't believe you're
here what what happened I
gotta ask you the same thing what
happened back there?
One place one time
you really should know better I
should know better
I'm not the one that left
his sister to fend for herself
what I?
Thought you were dead I
begged and pleaded to know what happened
to you. I mean remember what
you used to always say to me I
am with you always I
don't
yeah, right
look I know something's wrong with me.
I'm still trying to figure everything out
well, I come back at all if you don't
remember anything look
I'm trying
if you don't remember then why should I
I Aaron please come in
Make yourself at home
I
rock was it there never was anybody else
we ran away from foster homes together
for years got really cut at it
he developed this unique skill set
so that we could steal from the ratchet
get back to the poor
I just couldn't believe
he would leave me like that
and then he shows up out of nowhere as if
nothing ever happened
maybe he only wanted to apologize as if
that would fix everything
yeah, that's what I need you don't know
what your brother's been through and he
doesn't know what it's like to have his
entire life ripped apart
don't say that then
what am I supposed to say?
We
ran the streets together like a team and
that last job he left me with nothing
we both had a rap sheet longer than the
concentration so I couldn't even get a
job as a door greeter Aaron
what?
Tell you tell me what should I have done?
Let me ask you something
Aaron are you sure you want to get your
brother back? Maybe
it's time to let him go I
can't do that
that's what I'm here for
what do you?
My specialty is dealing with people's
past especially when their past severely
impacts their future
so no walls cross on absolutely not then
what am I a victim of
an extreme outside circumstance you
suffered a traumatic loss the person you
trusted most in life abandoned you
in the worst possible way
you have to have tracks, but you don't
have to stay like this I can free you how
much will it cause nothing
how do you do it
I've developed an experimental treatment
using a device known as the
chronicle now my job at Heimer
pharmaceuticals pertains to the research
and development of new psychiatric
technology for people just like you
mri technology has come a
long way since I started
you designed this indeed
I did myself in a team of
researchers developed a way to not only
look inside the mind but change it from
the inside out in what way
for now only your memories, but this
device has a potential
to do far more than that
so how are you going to
use my memories to help me?
Well for starters emotions are tied to
memories so when an emotion is triggered
by a memory hormones are released
that's why holding a puppy or eating ice
cream makes you happy
when a negative memory surfaces nor a
pinniferin also known as adrenaline or
cortisol is released by
king your blood pressure
that's what gives your body a
fight-or-flight instinct now the
chronicle goes in targets the memories
and deletes them like a computer
do you mind if I take on it?
Absolutely, I know it's a lot to think
about it. Would you like to stay the
night? I think I will yes
I'll show you to your room
[Water splashing]
I
tractor location to a nearby address
property belongs to a doctor Cindy Shaw
his psychiatrist at hamer pharmaceuticals
there's still hope yeah, she just hates
my guts for abandoning her I
like there are very few things in life
that are worth sacrificing
family is not one of them. I know
just wish I didn't break her heart
you could have seen
how she looked at me I
was someone important her I
believe if you decide to be
there for she will forgive you
I want to remember
You're ready let's do it
Oh
that wasn't so good
Yeah, I'm with you always
to the end of the age now, let's go
[Tense music]
Oh
I
Mean good morning
sleep well, I hope the bed was
comfortable. No. Yeah, it was fine. I
haven't slept that good in a while
I'm really glad you chose to stay over
sometimes. It's hard.
She made up the alone
are you saying anybody?
Well, I
tried dating I
met a man some years ago. We spoke of
marriage, but he
reminded me too much my father
How about you was there a boy
in school a high school crush
there were a few boys, but I'm Brock
never really liked them
what would it matter if
Brock liked them or not?
Did he have a lot of control of your life
right? Well, you just said he didn't like
anyone that you brought home
did he try to control
you to a certain extent?
No, I mean I never forced
me to break up with him just
hasn't been a problem since you left them
you had a lot of respect
for Brock didn't you like?
You trusted him completely
no, I wish I could tell you why he
destroyed that trust
it's okay
so have you decided to
proceed with the treatment?
Yeah, I think so
wonderful you won't regret it
take a seat Aaron
everything will be fine
I scanner
I
headset
sit up for me dudes
everything will be fine
there's been a security
breach we need to go now
I
I okay, let's go
Find her
[tense music]
You
This is where I belong
I need you to find
someone to clean up the Smith
yes, ma'am
[Footsteps patter]
Hey.
You don't look so good.
Who are you?
Huh? Aaron's me.
You feeling okay?
I'm fine.
You're clearly not.
Hey, to break it, he assists, but you
normally need two
chicks for mud wrestling.
What do you want from me?
You just trying to help.
Whatever got into your system needs time
to work its way out.
Come on.
You really don't remember who I am?
Not a clue.
Getting Eddie?
Yeah, I doubt it.
What about your name? Do
you remember your name?
Aaron Daniels.
Hey, now there's
something we have in common.
Brock Daniels?
I'm your brother. What's your name? Brock Daniels?
I'm your brother.
How do I know that's not a fake ID?
Well, that's a question you can answer.
Why would you say that?
Because we made all of our fake ids.
Back in the day, you were
the brains, I was the brawn.
Stealing from the rich to give to the
poor. Sound familiar?
This is us.
Do you remember what I used to tell you?
I'll be with you always.
I don't remember.
It's okay.
The men that are after you, I can help
you figure out who they
are, you can stop them.
And where should I trust you?
Because whether you remember me or not,
I'm not gonna leave you.
We're in this together.
Rest here. Drink plenty of water.
Not that water.
Show me the video.
I don't know what you're
expecting to find here, dude.
That video's over 48 hours old.
Yeah, but Noah argyle, he won't leave a
direct trail, but he
will attract attention.
From somebody else.
Go get the truck.
[Tense music]
[Sound of a born]
Go, go, go, go, go.
God, dude, who the hell was that? Like I
know. Where did she come from?
[Sound of a born]
She's got a fat two. What do you think
she's got her in the hood?
I don't know, but I'm glad
I let her swap this thing.
[Sound of a born]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Sound of a born]
Let's go, baby. Whoo!
[Sound of a born]
Hey, let's go.
So what was going on in
that facility back there?
I don't know. I don't
remember anything before I look up.
You said something about
waking up with a helmet on?
Yeah, but I don't
know why or what it was.
Do you remember anything
from when we were kids?
You were so nosy!
I'm just trying to find out as much as I
can, you know? Help me, help you.
I know my name is Erin
Daniels, and that is about it.
Weird.
Maybe it'll come back, though.
Why don't we go to the police?
You kidding? You and me got a rap sheet
longer than the constitution.
Oh.
You don't play by the rules
like us, word gets around.
Do you mind if I sit
down for a little bit?
Yeah, take your time.
You hungry?
No, not really.
Here, drink some water.
I get it not going to the police, but is
the hospital out of the question?
They're just gonna pump you full of
antibiotics, it seems you're on your way.
So?
Well, this isn't over-exaggeration, but
think of it like
k*lling a fly with a tank.
It doesn't harm them good.
I'm not gonna do it.
Dr. Shaw.
Mr. Ray.
I heard you were having some trouble.
Dang, she's hot.
She's a liability. I need her back.
What about him?
He's your brother, he
needs to be put down.
Spec ops.
Navy seals.
Why do you ask?
Because I need to
know what I'm up against.
I hired you because you're the best.
And with being the best
comes a healthy risk assessment.
See, a complete idiot would just assume
nothing special about these individuals
and proceed along his merry way.
But me, being the very best.
For the sake of self-preservation, I need
to know what I'm up against.
For your sake, too.
I mean, god forbid, I get taken out.
Things get traced back to
you. We both end up dead.
And very unhappy.
Well, he is the unknown, and I'm the one
you need to keep happy.
Come again?
I wanna show you something.
What you're looking at is someone who's
experiencing all of their worst fears and
traumas at the same time,
spiking their blood pressure and cortisol
levels to the point of death.
I don't have to tell you what'll happen
if you don't deliver, do I?
I'll give you this.
I expect a daily check-in.
If not, I'll be forced
to tie off loose ends.
[Music]
I guess shivering.
Just get out of that wet
jacket. I've got one here this dry.
[Music]
Is that better?
[Crickets chirring]
Thanks.
You know, I don't... I don't understand
why I can't remember anything.
Why I can't remember you or our parents.
We didn't have any parents.
We spent most of our childhood bouncing
between foster homes.
Until we finally had
enough and just ran away.
How old were we?
We were just kids.
Learned things the hard way.
Sometimes that's how it is.
I guess we were just dealt bad hand.
You could look at it that way.
Well, we do look at it.
Well, think about it.
Who really wants to
follow the rules anyways?
Most people feel like
they have no choice.
But that's where you and I are different.
Where the rule is in our own will.
Sure, we could have stayed in the system.
Been on right, I guess.
But out here, we could be
judge, jury, and executioner.
Or food from fairy hungry bear.
I guess what I'm trying to say is we did
the best with what we had.
Nobody's dealt the perfect hand in life.
Anybody that thinks they
are fooling themselves.
I like your idea better.
They got us this far.
So, um...
What do we do now?
Well, you're still not eating.
So we need to find a more
permanent place for you to rest.
These mountains should make it more
difficult for anyone to follow us.
But I can't risk you getting any worse.
There's bound to be
someone that lives out here.
Anyone this far out is hiding something.
Good. I need an adventure.
Definitely.
[Thunder]
Tell me what you see.
What's that?
Standard procedure.
What, you're taking me
to the farm or something?
On the contrary, this should help you.
Yeah, right.
It won't take very long.
Get out of here.
Go find another animal to abuse.
His range, richton.
No.
Well, that was a complete waste.
Not necessarily.
How?
Co-operations are relevant.
Really?
So originally, I was targeting the actual
memories deep within the neocortex,
but the chronicle couldn't access those
memories without
damaging the prefrontal cortex.
So it changed my strategy.
Instead of targeting the actual memories
and going for the amygdala,
which is responsible for the emotions
tied to the memories,
that's what makes these
new patients so different.
Not that the
chronicles calibrated properly.
I can remove memory no matter how deep.
It's truly remarkable.
They're like moldable Clay
in the hands of a sculptor.
You know what this means, don't you?
The chronicle's ready for
international production.
Anna, once you've had Erin, what are you
planning on doing with her?
Don't you have work to do?
Facial recognition's got nothing.
She's a ghost.
Can you maybe, like, track her last
movements after she spotted us or something?
I don't know, man. I
don't know this tech stuff.
Yeah, I can do that.
Oppressive.
Wait.
No way.
What?
She went to a decommissioned black site?
All of those are never good.
I mean, only a handful of agents even
know what those are, yet
alone know how to get in.
All god would know.
So would I.
You want some?
Okay. We need to keep moving.
Easy.
We'll go slow.
Let me know if you need a rest.
(Guitar music)
(Music)
The river running free.
Calling my name.
Heard from the end.
Surface with pain.
Dreams of a place.
Come rescue me.
Freedom awaits.
Under the sea.
Break away.
Break away.
There ain't no place I can stay.
Now's the time when skies are gray.
Perfect time to break away.
Water's ahead.
There's water need to
hide my tears while I bleed.
Diving deep.
Ain't no return.
Watching Bridges as they burn.
(Music)
[Gentle music]
Heck of an alarm system they have.
Not bad.
(Door opens)
There's got to be a
generator around here somewhere.
Freeze.
You need to get your
boyfriend to get out of here.
He's my brother.
Well in that case, you definitely need to
leave. This ain't Mississippi.
I'm not dating my brother. No, he's
outside looking for a generator.
Well your brother's gonna be out there
for a while if he's looking for a generator.
Or sooner.
Hold on.
How long have you been off the grid?
Just 9-11.
Any particular reason?
You're a nosy bunch. What are you doing
barging in here on my turf?
You're hiding from something.
You're all the way out
here by yourself for a reason.
Well, so are we.
You're running for the law?
We don't know if it's the law.
Whoever it is can't be much worse than
the folks you're hiding from.
(Crying)
What's she got going on?
Bad water. She hasn't eaten in a while.
I'll put some brothel and stove.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Once y'all are up on Adam,
y'all gonna have to leave.
Make myself clear?
You got it.
White and Adam's. Brock Daniels.
My sister Erin.
Tell me what you see.
I see a crying baby.
A dead deer.
A purple rhino.
Excellent. Dr. Shaw
will take over from here.
Is it painful?
No, my dear. Don't
worry. You won't feel a thing.
Be enough. Thank you.
You just take a moment.
What is this place?
This way, dear, is in a reality.
(Beeping)
Dr. West will now ask
you a few questions.
Tell me what you see.
I see a butterfly.
ba*ls.
A happy baby.
Thank you.
Can I offer you something to drink?
Yes, please. Thank you.
Hmm.
I don't feel...
I don't feel...
(Beeping)
[Machines beeping]
Was I out for very long?
Not at all.
[Tense music]
(Beeping)
I got your six.
(Beeping)
Well, look at what we have here.
This doesn't make any sense.
What? What is it?
I'm declassified.
They're, like, a couple days old.
What?
And once I'm reading this wrong, these
documents are all referencing the
transfer of data and prototypes and
research related to the
development of brandcor to a...
Hymer pharmaceuticals.
(Footsteps)
Shh, shh, shh, shh. Drop it.
Alright, now turn around. Slowly.
It really is a shame to
have such an unfair advantage.
(g*nsh*t)
Damn it, Zeke. You shot a hot one, dude.
Don't worry. I'll let you get the next one.
Don't make any
promises you can't keep, man.
She's a smart one, too. She's got a
bulletproof vest on.
Any broken ribs?
Eh, few.
Y'all still hungry?
No, I'm fine. I haven't eaten in a while.
It's a really nice place you got here.
Thank you. My wife. She's fixed it up.
Where's she at?
Eh, sort of complicated.
I understand.
Hey, if you need anything, you can get
out of the fridge. I've got to run to the
store before nightfall.
Thanks, Wade.
Bonnie, fella.
I'd really like to
know why he's out here.
I really don't. He's going to tell us.
You know, I kind of like it out here.
Being away from people.
He really forgets your past out here.
Speaking of past, any other ideas?
Not really. I'm just
glad you're eating again.
And now we can get back
to work. Like the old days.
Robin hood and little John.
Isn't little John
supposed to be a big guy?
What were they calling
little John if he was big?
It's called irony.
Do you want to be Robin hood?
Preferably.
You know he's a dude.
Now I know why I'm the
brain singer of the brawn.
Want to trade?
No, I'm fine. Brain is good.
Anyways, how are we going to do this?
Well, whoever's been
following us can't be too far behind.
But that works in our favor.
Because if we catch
the one, we question him.
Find out who's calling the shots.
Sounds good.
Well, worst case, for you're not in a
team mission or a solo operation.
Oh, there's only one way to find out.
[Distant traffic noise]
[Suspenseful music]
All right, it's time to go.
What's going on?
They followed you here.
How many?
So far, just one. But
trophy, it's all you need.
Is he coming here?
He'd have to be a damn fool if he did.
Now get out of here.
We're not leaving. Why is that?
Because he's not planning
on leaving any witnesses.
But plans change.
He picked the wrong fight.
Oh, hi, Mark.
Hey, my name's rain.
I'm five foot eleven.
Oh, so it's that kind of party.
Hit me, baby. One more time.
Okay.
You have two options.
Uh-huh.
Drop it or squeeze.
Have an option three.
I'm about to make that decision for you.
Okay, okay, okay.
Drop it.
Good boy.
(Snorts)
Easy.
All right.
Well, what's your background?
CIA?
Not to my knowledge.
It's me you're looking for, right?
No, I'm here to reconnect with nature.
Yes, I'm here for you.
Who I heard you.
Now that's classifying.
Really?
You know, you're not gonna believe this,
but I totally overbid this job
because I did not wanna do it.
Dark talking.
Heimer pharmaceuticals.
What do they want with me?
No, it turns out you're kind
of a big liability to them.
Seriously, are you spec ops?
Ask your mom.
(Laughs)
Yeah, I'm gonna assume he's spec ops.
Can one of you remind me to add that
to my invoice for Dr. Shaw?
Dr. Shaw.
She's Heimer's top psychiatrist
in charge of what
they're calling the chronicle.
Chronicle?
It's memory replacement technology.
Turns out you're the first test subject
to survive the treatment.
I guess 267's your lucky number.
Yeah, your test subject number 267.
That means that 266
people died before me.
(Laughs)
People od on fda
approved drugs all the time.
You think big pharma cares?
No, and why should they?
They're making it rain, baby.
Then why do you work for them?
Because it's a free country.
If somebody wants to
throw their life away,
who am I to stop them?
Aaron.
Go back inside.
Talk to me.
You heard what he said.
Yeah, don't you see
this is what we needed.
(Gasps)
Are you serious?
Look, I get that the
world is a bad place,
but I seriously doubt
that we are going to be able
to do anything about it.
We can't give up now.
Come on, Brock.
Are we really doing anything?
We'll figure this out.
He's not playing Superman.
Aaron.
I'm done.
We've made it this far.
We're gonna see it through to the end.
You have a death wish.
No, I have faith.
Faith in what?
I know you don't remember this,
but we had a saying, you and I.
He goes, "I'm with you always."
And the second part is,
"until the end of the age."
Do you know what that means?
It's a promise that was
made long before our time.
It's a promise that I
believe has kept us alive
all of these years.
And that's why we'll win.
Not because of who I am or who you are.
Look, I know you're scared.
I'm scared too.
Truth is, I can't do this without you.
Okay.
Come on.
Let's go make things uncomfortable
for a new friend in there.
He's weird.
He's telling me.
So anyway, like I was saying,
season four of supernatural
is really when it fell off.
I mean, they kind of
straight away from the must-work.
(Muffled groaning)
He ain't going nowhere.
What they gonna do with him?
Me think.
You know, I got a nice little
place not too far from here.
Ain't no one would ever find him.
(Muffled groaning)
(Shrieks)
Man, I think I'm allergic to duct tape.
What is it?
You know, just show her this thing.
Well, once a day I update her.
And today, I kind of missed it.
How much?
I mean, just a few
minutes, but she's very punctual.
I'd like to be respectful of that.
He's bluffing.
Not this time, Walker, Texas ranger.
I'm being serious.
God, I should have charged her more.
Why did you take this job?
I needed the money.
He want gold?
What do you have gold?
What am I gonna do with gold?
The dollar's gonna crash real soon.
Oh, jeez, whatever, man.
Listen, can somebody just take my phone
and text Dr. Shaw, please?
Not gonna happen, bub.
Brock, you might be telling your dreams.
Yeah, hey, hey, hey.
Listen to your sister, man.
I mean, she'd never steer you wrong.
Right?
What happens if you don't check in?
Well, from what I remember,
I mean, they send more
scary people after me.
Not just you, but me too.
You know, I like to stay
on the safe side of things.
I avoid entire countries because of this.
I really don't like
being interrogated by China,
Russia, Syria, North Korea.
Oh, but now Canada, that's my jam.
Oh, that feels good.
It's time for y'all to go.
I appreciate you, Wayne.
Yeah, thanks, Wayne.
Hey, come on, that Wayne
guy's kind of a 10th, right?
(Laughs)
I kind of like you.
And I really like you.
I mean, the cold weather feels right.
Mm.
(Gasps)
(Crickets chirping)
Any internal bleeding is not gonna stop
until you tell us where our goal is.
You don't understand.
Maybe I understand if you start talking.
You know what?
Not a doctor, but pretty sure you're not
supposed to do this.
(Screaming) That's right, don't cry to the level
that doesn't happen enough.
What, Zeke?
She probably doesn't
have much time left anyway.
That's kind of the point, man.
We don't wanna k*ll her.
You don't wanna k*ll her.
She shot at me, man.
It's two-way street, so just back off.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You wanna lose, you're cool,
and risk everything
we've been trying to do?
I saw your discharge
papers on the director's desk
just two weeks before it all fell,
and guess what it said?
You don't wanna go there.
Dishonorable.
(Laughs) You're gonna sh**t me.
You're gonna sh**t me.
You know the drill.
(Laughs)
You're cracking me up.
Let me guess, rubber b*ll*ts?
And acting.
But don't worry, these are plenty real.
What the hell do you want with me?
I don't have many of the answers,
but I know somebody who does.
[Tense music]
Hello, agent Colt.
I hear you're trying to k*ll me, correct?
That was the plan.
Well, today's your lucky day,
because that is exactly
what I want you to do.
The only difference,
I'm gonna do this under my terms.
Don't worry, you'll be
handsomely compensated
for your efforts.
Wait, wait, wait, hold the phone.
You want me to k*ll you?
That's right.
May I even ask why?
Let me ask you a question.
Does the CIA exist?
No.
And have you considered the ramifications
of how beneficial it was for the
president to end the CIA?
What are you even talking about?
Public opinion of that
agency has been in the gutter
for as long as I can remember.
Now, if I were running
a reelection campaign
for president, let's say,
and I were to dismantle such an agency,
I would have all the voters I needed.
You have no way that you can prove that.
Actually, I do.
Those documents
you've quote unquote found
are all the proof.
Someone had a vested interest
in continuing my work on rancor.
Look, as far as the public is concerned,
there is one big empty
building in Langley, Virginia.
And these documents prove that is exactly
how they wanted it all along.
I need to k*ll you though, why?
Because?
Because winning starts
when the people are on your side.
And when you k*ll me,
I'll be far more powerful
than you can possibly imagine.
Hmm, a martyr.
Okay, boss man, I can dig it.
How do you want it done?
It's simple.
Hey, Dr. West, how you doing?
Good Conrad, thank you for asking.
What's that?
Just standard procedure.
I want you to tell me what you see.
Hmm, that's a little boy with his dog.
Hmm, nice sunset.
A couple holding hands.
Excellent, thank you, Conrad.
(Birds chirping)
(Laughing)
Hey guys, I gotta take a piss.
You're gonna have to hold it.
Do you have any idea how
much I paid for these pants?
Unless you wanna, you know.
Aim it for me.
(Gasping)
A weird guy.
I don't know, I think he's kind of cute.
Oh please.
You know, no funny business here.
No sir.
You know, I can actually be
trusted to a certain extent.
You guys wanna take me back up?
Ah, it feels so nice to swing my arms.
You guys aren't lost, are you?
Do either of you have any snacks?
I mean, I usually bring
some granola bars with me,
but yesterday I got super hungry.
I ate all of them.
So Aaron, are you seeing anybody?
Oh come on, don't look at me like that.
We can have a nice happy family out here.
I don't think that's gonna happen.
I'm not scared of you.
Has he been doing this
to you your whole life?
You know you're a really bad hat man.
Oh ouch.
Okay, now that, that
wouldn't hurt honey, but listen.
I don't like the term hit man.
Okay, I think it's overused.
It doesn't really
describe my line of work at all.
I prefer future billionaire, altruist,
with admittedly an
unhealthy obsession with furries.
Oh geez.
Oh come on, can a man dream?
Not for too much longer.
Oh, oh, oh you're gonna k*ll me.
It's very tempting.
And what's your plan exactly?
We should go back to Dr. Shaw.
No, bad idea.
Well, you're supposed to
bring me in alive, right?
You, alive, yes, him, not so much.
Do you have a better idea?
Hear me out.
I really don't wanna k*ll you.
Though I could.
I really don't wanna take
you back to Dr. Shaw either,
but I need the money.
I really think we could work well
together as a couple.
I'm not interested.
How can you prove to
Dr. Shaw that I'm dead?
We'll take my word for it.
As long as you don't run into
Dr. Shaw, cause that would get a
little weird for both of us.
(Laughing)
We could just leave the country.
No, we have to finish this. That's now.
I warned you, didn't I?
Hitman aren't on my list of top 10
professionals to trust.
Again, that's a very inaccurate
description of my line of...
Shut up!
Any ideas?
Are you good at acting?
I'm not good at acting. I'm not good at
acting. I'm not good at acting. I'm not good
at acting. I'm not good at acting. I'm not
good at acting. Are you good at acting?
No.
I can be fine.
Hand me your knife.
If you try anything,
I'm gonna try something.
Oh gee!
Now sid, stay.
Roll over boy, on your tummy.
What are you doing?
Just...
Do it!
These operate on a secure frequency.
Here you go baby.
No.
This better work.
I found her!
Ray!
I found her!
Where's her brother?
No, he's dead.
Pity.
Yep.
You graveyard dead.
What happened to your phone?
Well, I broke it.
Turns out this guy put up a
hell of a fight, but you...
(Laughing)
You know, I gave him the business.
Anyway, do you guys have a medic...
Oh, I gotta see.
Give me one second.
I got rain in the grill.
Prepare for eBay.
Ooh!
Hey.
Hey.
Is it really necessary though?
I mean, you know Dr.
Shaw's like my best friend.
Ah!
Excuse me.
Oh my goodness, sweetheart.
Are you okay?
Can I get you something to eat?
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Okay, have a seat.
I'll be within a moment.
Well done.
The funds transfer has been initiated.
Thanks doc.
I think this occasion calls for a toast.
We do need to talk about
how you kept me waiting.
It is very rude to keep a lady waiting,
which is why I'm very unhappy.
[Tense music]
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
Hope rain wasn't too much.
No, I felt perfectly safe with him.
He can be a bit eccentric at times.
He actually saved my life.
Oh, I'm happy to hear that.
There was a man pretending to be my brother,
but he's dead now.
I see.
Well, could I get you a snack?
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Aaron, have you been
able to remember things?
Actually, there's been a couple of
memories that I've lost.
I'm sorry.
Do you know who I am?
I'm Dr. Cindy Shaw.
I was performing an
experimental treatment on you
when you ran away.
I was giving you a place to
stay and taking care of you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I woke up and I didn't know where I was
or why I was there.
Yeah, well, it could
be that the treatment
affected the recent memories too.
Really?
Absolutely.
But look, I wish you wouldn't have left,
but rain brought you back to work.
But rain brought you back to me.
I would like to continue
our treatment, if it is okay.
Wonderful.
Come, follow me.
Tell me what you see.
I see a Bumblebee.
A glass sculpture.
A little girl.
Aaron, you have been through
so much in such a short time.
If it's okay, I'd like
you to stay a few days
so I can keep an eye on you
and check for ill side effects.
That'll be fine, thank you, Dr. Shaw.
Wonderful.
He'll show you to your room.
Thanks, Dr. Shaw.
Call me Cindy.
Cindy.
(Dramatic music)
(Phone buzzing)
Aaron?
Where are you?
(Dramatic music)
My room is empty
as the sun drips farther west.
Okay, gotcha.
What happened to rain?
The man who once
called me his own, vanished.
Okay, sit tight.
You ain't dressed for fishing.
No, no I'm not.
What's going on?
I had to see you, one more time.
You're making this
hotter than it has to be.
You always knew this was a possibility.
I signed up for it.
I signed up for it.
I love you.
I love you.
(Dramatic music)
[Tense music]
(Dramatic music)
Are you sure this is necessary?
To be honest, I hope we
forget about our whole arrangement.
The development of the chronicle
has put quite a dent in our financials.
Do you hear us all?
Is that all you care about, the money?
And I came on board
because I wanted to help people.
Do you not think I'm helping people?
Not by my definition.
Do you know why I take
time out of my busy schedule
to host group therapy sessions?
Because the kind of people I help
are the kind of people no one
would miss if they were gone.
Alcoholics, drug addicts, a*usive,
depraved minds of no future to speak of.
Society's waste, the perfect subjects.
I can change their life.
I can control their destiny.
And what about the ones who have died?
They died for the
greater good of humanity.
You're insane.
Really?
You're married, aren't you, Dr. West?
With two beautiful daughters.
What if your husband
forgot who you were one day?
What if your daughters
looked at you like an outsider?
Stranger.
(Dramatic music)
I don't like it here.
Well, it can't be much
worse than where I am.
It's the only place I
could find a stay the night.
Could be worse.
Is your door locked?
I don't know, but frankly,
I don't wanna be going
snooping around outside
after rain disappeared like that.
Just sit tight.
So what else do you remember about me?
You never liked egg rolls.
Really?
Any type of red wine?
Or decent man.
Bad boys?
Oh yeah, the worst.
We'll have to test your theory sometime.
I'll get you a t-shirt with daddy issues
printed on the back.
Ha ha.
Unlike you, I have standards.
Really?
Okay, what kind of standards?
I'm more of a brunette guy.
No blondes?
No, I like dark hair.
I wonder where that came from.
Natalie Portman.
Star wars, attack of the clones.
Ew, geez.
She'd be lucky to date a guy like me.
Hmm, so, um...
The errand you remember.
What was she like?
Ornery, hard-headed.
Hard-headed?
Nah, you're all right.
I had to scare away a few guys,
but other than that, it was
just us trying to make it.
We had each other's
back every step of the way.
Did I ever get you in trouble?
Oh, no.
If you did, it was always
some stupid misunderstanding.
Make what?
I think I was around seven.
The foster parents thought I
was stealing money from them.
They were convinced.
But it wasn't me.
All the foster dad took me by the hand,
pulled out his belt.
He reared back, but you stopped him.
You lied.
Said you were the thief.
I remember I couldn't do
anything to protect you.
I'm glad I could help.
In the back of my mind, I
always knew one day would come
where I would be able to protect you.
Well, you're doing a
pretty good job of it.
Speaking of memories,
you think there's any
chance of you getting yours back?
No, the one person that could
is responsible for
k*lling 266 other people, so.
I think I'm okay with the present.
(Somber music)
Dr. West, I can't begin to tell you
how disappointed I am with you.
You should have really
checked your moral boundaries
before signing on to the project.
This business does not
cater to the kind-hearted.
I could k*ll you.
That would be too easy.
Instead, you'll find out what it's like
to live inside of who I am.
Goodbye, Dr. West.
Welcome to your new home.
(Door creaking)
(Ominous music)
Take her away.
Put her with the others.
Rock, how are we playing this?
Well, there's no way we're breaking in.
Flushing her out is our best option.
Flushing?
One of us initiates
an evacuation protocol
using a distraction of sorts.
Yeah, right, of course.
That's where I come in.
What did you have in mind?
Firecrackers.
Security's gonna go nuts
when these babies light up.
They'll send out a team
to investigate the noise,
then they'll send out another team
to escort Dr. Shaw to a vehicle.
Then I'll circle
around, nobody will be inside,
and that's when I'll infiltrate.
And where will I be during this?
You'll have to be in your room.
No, no, I don't think so.
If they initiate a lockdown protocol,
you won't be able to do much anyways.
All the doors will be locked.
Not to mention the stray security guard
that might spot you.
I can handle a stray security guard.
And what if he shoots you?
What if he shoots you?
I'm not gonna get shot.
Me neither.
Not to rain on your parade,
but I think I have a better idea.
All right, let's hear it.
I stay here for a few more days.
I'm sure Dr. Shaw will want to have
a few more experiments done.
I get a lay of the compound
and I tell you everything.
The longer you're in there, the more likely
something bad is gonna happen.
I can't take that chance.
Okay, then what do you want me to do?
I could cause a
distraction from the inside.
I'm sure there's a g*n or
some sort of weapon in here.
Aaron, when's the
last time you shot a g*n?
All right, you can't remember.
How could I forget?
You couldn't hit the broadside of a barn
with one of those things.
For years, I tried to drain you,
but you're just a bad shot.
There's no shame in that.
Will, I'm not going to sh**t anybody.
I mean, it doesn't even have to be a g*n.
Just anything to cause a commotion.
No, you're gonna get yourself hurt.
Rock, there's no way you can
protect me from getting hurt.
I am okay with that and you
need to be okay with it too.
Look, just why don't
we wait till tomorrow?
You want to see this through to the end,
so let's make sure
that we end up for good.
All right, I'll let you have this one.
Thank you.
So what was that
promise you told me about?
I'm with you always.
To the end of the age.
That's right.
You really believe
that's going to protect us?
Yeah.
I do.
Are you sure you still want to do this?
Name.
Argyle Locklear.
That's not your real name.
The hell is it?
You've illegally
attained classified documents.
Who hired you?
No one.
I just wanted to tell the American people
what the government was
doing behind their backs.
[Crowd noise]
[Energetic music on speakers]
[Dramatic music]
I just need a name.
One name.
I already told you there isn't one.
The president knew
everything that was going on
and he did absolutely nothing.
These are official unclassified documents
detailing the collusion
between the now decommissioned CIA.
And the Heimer pharmaceuticals.
It has been said that for evil men
to accomplish their purpose,
it is only necessary that
good men should do nothing.
So I ask the American
people, what will you do?
We know you're not doing this alone.
No, I'm definitely not alone.
Who are you working for?
The gig's off, man.
Come on, just tell me.
I'll give you whatever you want.
The lord is my
Shepherd. I shall not want.
[Tense music]
So long, old friend.
I'll finish what you started.
(Men chattering)
(People chattering)
(People chattering)
(Drumming)
(Drumming)
(Drumming)
(Whistling)
(g*nshots)
(Footsteps)
You all came to party, didn't ya?
(Drumming)
You know what, that laptop?
All right.
Let's dance.
(Maniacal laughing)
(Grunts)
(Drumming)
Yes!
Are you ready?
(Maniacal laughing)
(g*nshots)
(g*nsh*t)
Good call.
Erin, sleep well?
Yes, I did, thank you.
I hope you'll join me for breakfast.
Yes, I am starving.
Would you like something to drink?
I'll have whatever you're having.
It's never too early for wine.
I hope you like the red I chose.
It's best to save
some till after the meal
to get the most out of it.
Yeah, I'm sure that won't be a problem.
This is a really lovely spread.
Did you recall this?
Yes, I was pursuing a
degree in the culinary arts
before transferring to psychiatry.
If you don't mind me
asking, where's psychiatry?
Well, no worries.
It's actually quite a long story.
It came from a broken home.
There wasn't much
therapy or treatment then,
let alone someone to talk to,
so I had to deal with that on my own,
and cooking was a safe
place for me for a while.
Forgive me for asking.
No worries, really.
I mean, if it wasn't
for those experiences,
I wouldn't have found my true calling.
My main issue was with my father.
He was a violent man,
and the alcohol mixed with drugs.
Well, forgive me. I'm rambling.
Well, don't doctors
need doctors sometimes?
Yes, they do. That's right.
[Tense music]
Sometimes I don't think he
knew what I was trying to do
as long as he had a drink in his hand.
That was all he cared about.
I'm sure deep down he knew
that you were trying to help.
Can I get you something else?
No, this'll be fine for me,
but you haven't touched your food.
Ah, don't worry about me.
I'm not used to eating around this time.
When I was a little girl,
my father would
withhold food from me for days.
He didn't want me to
be heavy like my mother.
No. If I got caught with food,
that was big trouble for me.
But I took care of him once and for all.
Dr. West! Order late!
They've all been neutralized.
You.
I thought you were dead.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Where's rain?
Rain?
Why are you here, Aaron?
It's done. The chronicle.
No one's going to hurt you.
I see the faces all the time.
It's...
It... it wants me up.
They keep me up at night.
That's all I think about.
That makes you wonder if the house or one
of them is going to try to win beachy
Marina or anything like that.
It really does make you wonder.
I tell you, man, when you want to talk
about the deep state and all
this stuff falling apart...
Yeah, there's employees of Heimer
pharmaceuticals that
are leaving in droves.
The stock price is crashing.
The president's poll
numbers are in the gutter.
Whoever was in charge of this,
he was using an exposing corruption
behind the now-disbanded CIA with the
transferring of the rancor directive
research to Heimer pharmaceuticals.
President Helven has
declined to comment on the issue,
and his poll numbers have taken a steep
dive right alongside Heimer
pharmaceuticals
following the stock price.
Heimer pharmaceuticals...
Yes!
[Except for life, baby!]
I think they're here.
Hey, I'm glad you made it.
Welcome.
This is my husband, Mason.
Nice to see you.
Yeah, good to see you.
Good bye, Daniel.
Come on, let's go play building blocks.
Come on!
Alright, I'll fire up the grill.
Hey, you stealing my pieces?
Look! I made...
Oops!
So, kindly tell me
the story about you two.
It truly is an honor.
I have to admit, I was quite surprised
that we got the invite.
Why would you say that?
I don't know. I guess
I'm overthinking it.
Just can't believe it's over.
Well, if it were up to me, I would take a
long, good vacation.
Yeah, that sounds really nice.
You know, it takes a lot of courage to do
what you and Brock did.
Yeah.
I don't... I don't think I could say the
same thing about myself.
Well, I will tell you, I definitely
wanted to throw in the towel a few times.
Your brother, he's a good man.
You know, he probably
doesn't remember this, but...
Him and I, we worked
together many years ago.
You did?
Yeah.
And what did you do?
Well...
That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
I don't think you know the whole story.
[Tense music]
You have quite the record, my friend.
Where's Erin?
She'll be just fine.
You're our main priority right now.
You need to take me back to her. She's
out there all by herself.
Maybe if you and her wouldn't have done
your Robin hood or little John routine,
you wouldn't be here right now.
Take me back.
Whatever it is you're trying
to offer, I'm not interested.
You have a unique set of skills that are
of great interest to us.
Which, by the way, I should probably tell
you, you no longer
will be brought Daniels.
No, no, no, no.
As of today, you are now a
property of the United States.
Welcome to the CIA, Alec Monroe.
I'm not here asking
you for your forgiveness.
Believe me, I have done a lot of things
in my life that I am not proud of.
I'm not proud of you. I am not proud of...
I just wanted you to know the truth.
Mason.
Thank you.
Dinner's ready.
Dinner!
Dinner's ready!
[Door opens]
Everything good?
Yeah.
Good.
I think I owe you an apology.
I don't know about that, but you
definitely owe me something.
Especially after all that.
Oh, how about a drink?
Maybe some other time, man. I just...
Not too much on my mind right now.
I get it.
There's not many that
would do what our guy did.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Y'all aren't having too much
fun out here without me, are you?
Oh, cupcakes. All right.
You don't want that one.
Have that one.
There you go. Enjoy.
Thank you.
You think it was sedatives or poison?
Definitely poison.
Cheers.
Cheers.
