Why are you up so late?

[muttering]

[steam hissing]

This new bunker brewer changes everything.

Eh?

Morning.

And good morning.

Hey.

What'd you guys find?

Hi.

All right, so, check this out.

Our little mystery friend sent us another message.

This sculpture appeared in the middle of the desert in Tucson.

Are we supposed to know what that is?

Seriously?

You all played "Wizardville." How do you not recognize The Staff of the Dragon Wizard?

It's level-two stuff.

Wait, so why is a level-two sculpture in Tucson?

App companies will occasionally put real-life versions of things that pop up in their games just out in random places.

It's just like a cheap publicity stunt.

But it works.

I mean, the people that took over "Wizardville" have been doing it every week.

Well, this one didn't come from Jingle Jangle Games LLC.

Look at this dragon logo on the orb.

It is very different from the one in the game.

Wait, the wings and the sculpture are different.

They're in the shape of my bird tattoo, same one that showed up in Times Square.

Yeah, so if I overlay the tattoo onto the dragon wings...

a set of numbers appears.

They're arranged in a grid.

It's a nonogram.

Patterson: Yeah.

So the numbers tell you which squares to shade in to create an image, and this one shades to...

A wasp.

Same as the Dabbur Zann symbol.

This has to be about Madeline.

We just found out she was working with the Dabbur Zann.

Maybe our mystery friend is trying to tell us what they're planning.

Maybe they think we can get ahead of it and stop it.

This could be how we prove Madeline's behind everything.

Does that dragon stick say anything else?

It's not a stick.

It's Staff of the...

Sorry, Dragon Staff.

Never mind.

I've been assembling images from various social media posts, trying to see if I can find anything else.

Let us know when you find something.

Yeah, I will.

Tired, but I will.

Ah, nice of you to join me.

Last few hours have been fantastic.

I was worried you might run off.

Hmm, Ivy made it clear that that was not a possibility.

Uh, protective custody, I believe she called it.

Guess that's why the security cameras are off?

For my protection?

There was an attempt on your life yesterday.

I take that thr*at very seriously, and I suggest you do the same.

I'm a big boy, so I can handle myself.

Sit down.

The leverage I have on you hasn't changed.

I own you, so stop posturing.

What do you want?

I wanna know exactly what happened in Helsinki.

So we all just dropped dead?

Yeah...

with Madeline watching the whole thing.

Just like when she poisoned her husband and Blake Crawford.

Just sounds like an anxiety dream to me.

We're hunting Madeline.

She's hunting us.

It's not the first time I've had a dream like this.

I wanna believe we'll take her down, but it just feels so hopeless sometimes.

That just means that we're due for a win.

Someone out there is helping us.

And, before you know it, we're gonna be in our home, tucking Bethany into bed, and hopefully just falling asleep in front of the TV like normal people.

[chuckling]

I don't think falling asleep to "Die Hard" is normal.

Huh?

Hey, I got something.

So I analyzed the grid squares, inverted the puzzle, and after a little bit of math, the new nonogram numbers reveal coordinates to a warehouse in Dresden, Germany.

I haven't been able to find anything specific on the property.

We're kind of working with limited resources here.

It's enough.

Whoever sent this is telling us the Dabbur Zann is connected to it.

Maybe it's a safe house.

Could be w*apon storage.

We'll check it out.

Wait...

Dresden is less than two hours away.

What if somebody knows where we are and they're baiting us into making a move?

Also, the timing is suspicious.

The Helios file upload failed yesterday, and we still don't know why.

Afreen or Weitz could be compromised.

Even if they are, we know they're not behind the messages.

But maybe they figured out who is.

Maybe Madeline did too.

The longer we sit around here and debate this, closer that Madeline or the Dabbur Zann get to pulling off an att*ck.

You don't know that for sure.

The last message, that was time sensitive.

And so this one could be as well.

So we go in blind?

That's a good way to get one of us k*lled.

We can't just sit here and do nothing.

I haven't seen my daughter in three months.

I want this to be our ticket out too.

And if it is, shouldn't we approach it with the least amount of guesswork possible?

Okay, we don't have to go in, but we can go and scope it out while Rich and Patterson dig for more info.

[scoffs]

I guess we're going to Dresden.

[clears throat]

I got to the Forum around 1:00, 1:15.

I mingled a bit, rehearsed my speech, gave the speech at 3:00 as scheduled, and then was whisked away by security because there was a b*mb under the stage.

Also, there was something about a sh**ting.

A m*rder...

committed and orchestrated by former agents Weller and Patterson.

Mm-hmm, I was, uh, briefed about it on the flight back.

Did you see them there?

Did they try to talk to you?

No, seeing as they're fugitives, I assumed they were trying to avoid me.

No one of note approached you?

It's the World Collaboration Forum, so everybody was of note.

But not everyone is a member of Patterson's family.

Oh, you're talking about Bill Nye The Science Guy?

Yeah, he tried to talk to me about climate change, and your guys grabbed him before I even had a chance to respond.

Mm-hmm.

Nothing else out of the ordinary happened at the Forum?

Not that I can recall.

[phone buzzing]

I'll be back soon.

In the meantime, you stay here.

For your own safety.

Jane: All right, we're in three positions outside the warehouse.

Okay.

Do you see anything suspicious?

Weller: Not yet.

No activity on the property.

Zapata: Find anything else out about this place?

Yeah, it's owned by World Apex Industries, which is a defunct import-export that appears to be a Dabbur Zann shell company.

Weller: This lead is legit.

Also, I was able to hack the security camera at the building next to yours, and I'm sending you a photo right now.

It's a little grainy, so I can't make out an ID, but three men just entered the building ten minutes before you.

Weller: Three of them, three of us.

Zapata: At least three of them.

There could be more inside already.

Weller: We camp out too long, we risk getting exposed.

Jane: Okay, let's move in, see what we find.

Weller, take lead.

Zapata: I, uh, I got a bad feeling about this.

Weller: On me, Tasha.

Move in.

Zapata: Wait!

Abort!

Abort!

[g*nf*re over comms]

[Weller shouts]

Weller: Tasha!

Tash...

[beep, comms cut out]

What the hell just happened?

♪ ♪ Jane?

Weller, come in.

Tasha?

What the hell do we do now?

We try not to panic.

And how do you suggest we do that?

I don't know.

Maybe lay off the new coffee for a bit.

Okay, they could've...

They could've gotten away clean.

Okay, yeah, right.

And then they engaged radio silence as part of our protocols.

Yeah.

Maybe they saw something off when they were in the field, and they k*lled their comms before scattering back here.

Okay, so we just have to wait.

How long do we have to wait?

Okay, Dresden is...

90 minutes away by car, so if we factor in surveillance countermeasures, they would need to be back here in two hours and 19 minutes.

[computer trills]

Okay, so after that we can panic?

By that point we have to assume they're compromised.

And we would have to leave this place for good.

Terrific.

I mean, not terrific.

Obviously terrible.

I'm gonna make some more coffee.

♪ ♪ So...

your story about Helsinki checks out.

The part you chose to share.

And I'd like to discuss the part you didn't.

What...

What more details do you want?

I...

The fish pie was surprisingly delicious.

So you remember the appetizer but not the hacked message in the teleprompter.

I thought the b*mb under my feet was more of a thr*at.

The teleprompter seemed a bit redundant.

That's funny, I read it as a warning from the rogue agents.

Look, the teleprompter said that if I didn't keep talking, I'd explode.

I was not communicating with t*rrorists.

I am not interested in arguing semantics with you, Matthew.

Why am I here?

So I can figure out your ongoing usefulness or lack thereof.

I'm the director of the FBI.

You are a pawn for me to move around as I see fit.

Now some pawns make it to the end, and they get rewarded, and others get sacrificed along the way.

Today, we're going to figure out which one you are.

Okay, nothing on police scanners, news reports, border patrol.

Ah, same here.

I got nothing.

It's time to start packing the bag, isn't it?

I don't want to leave this place.

I don't either.

You were the one who said that...

Wait, did the plan change while I was in the bathroom?

No, it's just, first, my dad had to go off the grid without a trace.

And now if...

Yeah, but that's a good thing 'cause if we can't find them, neither can the police or Madeline.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

I'm losing everyone.

And when...

If this is ever gonna be over, is it too late for things to go back to normal?

[mechanical whirring]

Ah.

Elevator's moving.

That's good.

Only if it's someone we're waiting for.

[elevator whirring and rattling]

[clank]

Hey.

Thank God you're all right.

[sniffs]

Ooh, your musk smells different.

It's sheep.

I had to stowaway in a livestock trailer.

Where's Jane and Tasha?

They're not here yet.

No.

I had to double back to get around a German Police checkpoint...

They should have beaten me here.

I'm sure they'll be here any minute.

It's important to think positive.

Just find out where they are.

We've been looking everywhere.

Just find them!

Please.

Do you want to tell him that that's not possible or should I?

[sighs]

So this isn't like New York where the world was truly at my fingertips.

I just don't have the computational power that...

I know.

It's harder.

Everything is.

Okay, why don't you walk me through what happened?

Maybe that'll give me somewhere new to start.

We were going to breach that warehouse from three different positions.

Tasha tried to abort.

Why did she call it off?

I don't know.

I couldn't ask her.

There were about a dozen guys...

Do you think it was a safehouse?

No.

I think it was a meet.

Dabbur Zann, they're planning something, and we couldn't stick around to ask what.

And Tasha didn't cover me.

I got pinned down.

Tasha?!

They jammed our comms...

so our priority was to get out.

I guess we should've stuck together.

Zapata's back.

So what the hell happened out there?

You should have had our backs!

I called abort.

Why?

What'd you see?

Nothing.

All right?

I just had a feeling.

Jane, over comm: Weller, take lead.

Okay, I-I got a bad feeling about this.

Weller, over comm: On me, Tasha, moving.

Wait!

Abort, abort!

You should've stuck to the plan.

We were going into a place blind, without any intel.

That is not a plan.

You of all people should know you gotta trust your instincts.

Tasha!

You lost focus out there.

That's it.

Hey, how about we all stick together here?

Huh?

Oh, I lost focus?

Yes!

[grunting]

I had two choices.

I leave him there with the rest of the Dabbur Zann and let him continue with whatever Madeline's planning, or I bring him back here and try to find some answers.

And what happens when we're done?

We head bag him, drive him in circles, and we drop them at the farthest police station that we can.

So we can get nabbed while doing it.

Brilliant plan.

Hey, he's here and this is happening.

If he knows something, we will get it out of him.

Okay.

So we will...

see what we can dig up about this guy.

Look at that.

What's that, my last meal?

It's up to you.

What do you want?

You vowed to destroy the FBI.

I would argue that you already succeeded, so what is left?

Oh, that is nothing for you to worry about.

I'd like you to focus instead on Susan Shah.

Susan: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.

Matthew White.

I'm just gonna tie up a few...

Her position as national security advisor has made my job very difficult.

And I would like you to remove her from the equation.

Wait...

When you say "remove her from the equation," you don't mean to...

to...

You don't expect me to...

[chuckling]

Oh, no, no, no.

No, nothing like that.

Anyway, a second attempt on her life would only draw attention.

No, I would like you to convince her to step down.

Right.

How, exactly?

J.

Edgar Hoover stifled my father's ambitions to lead this country in one conversation.

I have every faith you can do the same.

Okay, fine, Madeline, whatever you want.

Can I get back to work now?

Yeah, of course.

Hey, there we go.

I'll call for the car.

Wait.

What?

We're going to do this right now?

Waiting has never been my strong suit.

[computer trills]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, look at this.

Munich police posted an internal memo.

Apparently, three inmates went missing during a prison transfer last night.

Do they have photos?

Not yet, I'm guessing they're keeping this pretty low profile for now.

I recognize a couple of those names.

When I was at the CIA, Zico Faulhaber and Merrick Rustia were suspected ringleaders in the Dabbur Zann.

Rich: Whew.

What do you wanna bet Madeline pulled some strings to get these inmates free?

Do you think our new roommate is one of the prisoners?

Hey, please stop calling him that.

Okay, uh, tenant?

House guest?

Subletter.

Oh, he's not paying rent.

We need more than just names.

We need to give Jane and Weller some time.

We have to try to salvage this mission.

You mean the mission I screwed up?

No, I never said that it was your fault.

Didn't have to.

Hey.

Any luck?

This guy's stonewalling us.

All right, why don't we start with something simple?

Who are you?

You go first.

That's not how this works.

Then I'm gonna go back to my nap.

[door opens]

So...

who are we talking to?

Merrick?

Zico?

Loris?

We're going to find out.

Loris.

There, you know my name.

Can I go now?

You help us stop an att*ck and take down Madeline Burke, you will earn your freedom back.

There is no freedom for me.

You don't want a hand in exposing just how corrupt the American government actually is?

Isn't that what your group's all about?

They are not my group.

Where I come from, the Dabbur Zann control my village.

I do what they say or they hurt my family.

What if we can help with that?

Even if you could, I don't know what they're planning.

They don't tell me anything.

Why don't you walk us through the last 24 hours?

You might know a little more than you think.

I was in a Munich prison for a robbery I pulled off with the others.

Then yesterday, they put us in a van, dropped us in the middle of nowhere and let us go free.

Who did that?

Like I said...

they don't tell me anything.

I followed the others to a safe house and we met with some local contacts.

And the other people at the warehouse, who are they?

Bad people.

They are the ones you want.

Have you got any idea of where they might have gone?

If you you go after them, they'll know I talked.

I have two younger sisters, a brother.

We can protect them.

How?

You barely got out alive today.

The one you call Zico...

he goes by "Hades." I watched him t*rture the family of a Turkish merchant who had betrayed him.

He cut off their ears, a favor so they could not hear each other scream.

And then he tied them down in their house and set it on fire!

They couldn't hear.

I could.

You're scared of this man Hades.

What do you think will happen if you don't go back and regroup with the others?

He'll think you ran.

Your family, they're already in danger.

If you help us take him down, we'll make sure he can't hurt them.

We're supposed to meet in Dusseldorf tonight.

I'm supposed to wait outside a cafe...

until someone comes to get me.

So we'll take Loris to his meeting in Dusseldorf tonight.

Use him to lure out the rest of his group.

You were at that warehouse.

There were a dozen guys there.

How we gonna pull this off?

We catch 'em off guard.

It doesn't matter how many there are.

And if we do get Hades, then what?

Bring him back here?

No.

We'll find somewhere secure to interrogate him.

And what about Loris?

How do we get him back across the border?

I don't know, we'll figure it out.

Then what happens when he's out in public and he starts screaming that he's been taken hostage.

We cut our losses and regroup back here.

Lucky for us, Loris still doesn't know where we are.

How many operatives do you think will be at this meet?

More than the warehouse.

Maybe I should go alone, take the country roads back to Prague and report back any intel I find.

How do you know we're in Prague?

♪ ♪ I thought you said that he was knocked out the entire trip back.

I thought he was.

He must have woken up at the border crossing.

So I guess you didn't take every precaution.

What's done is done.

All right, we need to focus on what we do now.

How do we do that?

The other Dabbur Zann soldiers are meeting in Dusseldorf.

We go there.

We need Loris for that.

If he slips away from us and tells everyone where we are, we are done.

Okay.

What if he can't tell anyone where we are because he can't remember?

What...

if we wiped his memory...

using ZIP?

Is that even an option?

No, no.

It isn't.

Beats abandoning the safe house.

Where would we get it?

I already have it.

I managed to procure a small amount a month ago, and I've been doing additional research on the cure that we created using stem cells, just in case you had another relapse But we could use that on Loris, wipe his memory, and then take him with us.

No.

No, wiping someone's memory is...

one of the worst things you could do them.

Trust me.

Loris has been forced into a life of working with t*rrorists.

So I'm sure that he's done and seen his fair share of horrible things.

Starting over with a clean slate might not be the worst thing in the world for him.

We'd be taking his family from him.

The only thing he cares about would be gone.

I'm not doing that to anyone.

♪ ♪ [door opens]

You're not changing my mind about this.

And I'm not here to make you try.

Look...

When Patterson suggested it, all I saw was a way out.

I wasn't thinking about you.

I'm sorry.

I've done a lot of horrible things in my life, but one of the worst was ZIPing Roman.

I can't do that to anyone else.

I know.

So we'll find another way.

Like what?

We're out of options.

No...

We can go to the meeting point in Dusseldorf without Loris.

All right?

Scope it out.

We might get lucky.

Spot one of 'em.

And what about Loris?

He knows where we live.

That's all he knows.

So we'll leave.

And start all over again?

By the time we find a new base of operations, Madeline might already be...


Hey...

We'll do what we have to do.

All right?

What we've always done.

Why stop now?

[tires screeching]

Let me ask you something.

How exactly is the National Security Advisor making your life difficult?

I'm touched by your concern.

I thought that your position as Director of Federal Law Enforcement operated outside her purview.

Yeah, but I still have to make nice with all the others.

She doesn't extend me the same courtesy.

But to want to k*ll her for it, I mean...

seems a bit drastic.

Sometimes drastic is what the job calls for.

You of all people should know that.

But when you go after a rival, it's because you want something.

Shah is top of the list for the open vice-presidency.

I assume you're gonna get to your point soon.

I'm saying, I don't think she's making your life difficult.

I'm saying she's in your way.

If Shah were to suddenly go kaboom or have to step down, well, they'd have to consider somebody else for the open VP spot.

Somebody like you.

You want to be vice president, one step away from the Oval Office.

I have never been so impressed with someone I find so generally disappointing.

Now let me ask you something.

Do you think knowing what I want makes you safe or puts you in more danger?

We're leaving.

That's it?

What other option have we got?

All right, we'll leave Loris with enough food and water for a week, get the cops to pick him up.

No, we can't just walk away from the only home we have.

We just got set up, there has to be another way.

Okay, so what is it?

Look, you found us this place.

Find another one.

It's not that simple...

To find a place like this with all the resources to go after Madeline, we're talking months, I don't know, could be a year.

What if my dad can't stay off the grid that long?

What about Ali and Bethany?

This isn't just about us.

We have to try something!

All right, if we get to Hades tonight, then we might have enough to take Madeline down by tomorrow.

And if we don't we don't then we're back to square one.

We'd all have to split up.

We would all be completely alone out there again.

Is that what you really want?

No, it is not.

We got trouble.

[clears throat]

I finally got access to the original arrest records of the three Dabbur Zann soldiers that Madeline sprung.

Take a look.

Wait...

is that right?

Zapata: He was lying to us.

We meeting Shah here?

What's the matter with the bistro?

You know, you can blackmail people in bistros.

It's all about options, Matthew.

As we make choices, our options shrink until there's only one path to follow.

You are out of options.

This is your path.

Madeline, listen to me.

You can't do this.

[trunk opens]

[whimpering and sobbing]

[shrieking]

Briana?

What's...

What's happening?

Consequences.

[whimpering]

Shh...

There's nothing to say.

No promise to give.

No excuse to make.

It's all over.

[muffled screaming]

Madeline, you can't do this!

Not another word!

I gave you options, Briana.

[screaming and sobbing]

This is the path you chose.

[muffled]

No!

No!

No!

No, no, no!

So this...

this whole Shah thing, that was just a...

a test?

You just wanted to see if I'd agree to it?

No.

She'll be in New York in a couple of days.

You can chat then.

What do you want me to say?

I don't care.

Bribe her, thr*aten her, just make her go away.

What do you mean, you don't care?

Why did you drive me...

You didn't have to do that to Briana.

You didn't have to do any of this!

Oh, but I did.

I did.

I had leverage over Briana, just like I have leverage with you.

She was useful to me, just as you have been, until she wasn't.

These relationships are all tenuous.

Sooner or later, they all come to an end.

I just wanted you to see for yourself how bad that end can be.

Now, I think you have a job to do.

Can I trust you to do it?

Consider it done.

[water splashes]

Zapata: What do we do now?

Hades was the best lead we had on Madeline's plan with the Dabbur Zann.

We could still go to Dusseldorf.

The real Loris and that Merrick what's-his-nuts are still there.

No, we can't trust anything that Hades had said to us.

All he wanted was for us to take him to the meet so that he could try to escape.

So all of this was for nothing?

Not nothing.

Something.

Since Jane and I drew short straws, we we're going to dispose of the body.

For the record, I still think drawing straws in this context is a little insensitive.

He's dead, Rich.

Yeah, and now he's a ghost, and if we don't respect him, he will haunt us.

Anyway, I noticed some scarring in his right forearm.

I used to sew lock picks under my skin in case I was ever captured.

That's actually how I broke out of the blacksite.

Didn't he break his own thumbs to get out of the cuffs?

Yeah, he didn't have lock picks under his skin.

He had this.

It's a passive RFID card.

He could wirelessly transfer files to it and then upload and download whatever he wanted without ever having to remove it.

That is genius.

Evil genius.

So if he got orders from Madeline, the details might be on that card.

And if we can prove that she's connected to t*rrorists, that might be enough to get our lives back.

Patterson: Yeah, let's hope.

I just gotta cr*ck it.

Hey!

Hey, where have you been?

I saw you leave with Madeline.

I got worried.

Uh, yeah, listen, um, you can't talk to me.

We need to figure out our next move.

Briana is still missing, and the team needs our help, and I was thinking...

Briana is gone.

What?

We need to stop.

No more resistance.

No more helping the team.

This is over.

[footsteps]

Hey.

Hey.

Uh...

Look, I just wanted to apologize for earlier.

I was a bit harsh about you bringing that guy back here.

No, no, you were right.

It was...

It was a risky move.

Well...

they kind of all are at this point.

Are you okay?

Not really.

When we were staking out that warehouse, it reminded me how it used to be, you know, before all this.

I, uh...

I looked over and expected to see Reade right there with me.

He wasn't.

He's gone.

And...

the thought of losing anyone else was incapacitating.

I froze out there...

and in here.

I've been having dreams where Madeline takes away everything I love.

Over and over again, she wins.

I thought it meant that Madeline was my biggest fear.

[sniffles]

She's not?

No.

Every call I make puts us all in danger.

What if I make the wrong one...

and someone gets hurt because of me?

You're not the only one feeling hesitant about all this.

So what do we do?

Madeline's coming for us either way.

Like it or not...

we have to fight back.

And what if I can't?

Hey.

I'm very sorry for earlier, for not...

appreciating you.

Oh, well, thank you.

You know, it's a dark time for everybody.

We shan't need to speak of it again.

You are so gonna speak of it again.

Well, yeah, if I wanna make you feel bad, or if I need something from you.

Yeah, of course.

That's two reasons I can think of.

[computer chimes]

Ah, dinner's ready.

There's a timestamp on this file from around the time of the warehouse raid this morning.

Rich: What the hell is all this?

They look like detailed schematics for a chemical weapons system.

So Madeline broke a bunch of Dabbur Zann operatives out of prison in order to launch a chemical att*ck?

Yeah.

And they're still out there.

Well, that's very not good.
