"Previously, on Alphas." "When I first discovered the Alpha phenomenon," "I was a doctor treating a group of remarkable patients, including my daughter, Dani." "Can you be my partner?" "A partner?" "People fear what they do not understand or what they cannot control." "Go to sleep." "The government's solution to the problem is Binghamton." "A clandestine prison hospital where Alphas are confined, and subjected to experiments without any respect paid to their civil rights or their humanity." "And by our keeping the Alpha phenomenon secret, we are only following a path, which I believe can only lead to a war against a rogue group of Alphas organized by their leader," "Stanton Parish." "I am calling for transparency." "An end to secrets." "Alphas exist." "They are among us." "They are our friends and our spouses." "This is what we have been hiding." "I warned you." "Security!" "...that Stanton Parish..." "Get him out of here." "Get this man out of here." "...so badly wants." "And by sharing this truth, it will become evident that it's time for everyone to open their eyes, to open their minds and to open their..." "I see you've been picking your cuticles again." "I suspect it's this place." "Being here, day in and day out, must be incredibly stressful for you." "I find yoga and meditation particularly efficacious in an environment like this." "What about the drugs?" "Did they help?" "Well, you should try some and see for yourself." "I'm not psychologically unstable." "Natalie, you are deflecting again." "Why are we here, Dr. Rosen?" "You know, I could ask you the same question." "I'm here because the government wants me out of the way." "Shelved." "For exposing the Alphas phenomenon." "Delusions of persecution." "A classic symptom of paranoia." "I am not delusional, though I am being persecuted." "Lee, you know how this goes." "You can deny your issues, or you can commit to therapy and maybe I can help." "Oh, please." "We both know my fate has nothing to do with these sessions." "Hour's up." "Talked to my boy, Doc." "You were right." "It was the stuff with the dog." "Oh, I'm glad I could help." "Children mourn differently than we do." "Just remember that." "Be patient, and just encourage him to express himself." "We're working on it." "That's your stop." "Yes." "Indeed, it is." "Let me get that for you." "You okay, Doc?" "No, William." "I am not okay." "I've been here eight months." "Eight wasted months." "I have important things to do." "I..." "Patients, clients." "I need to get out of here." "Sorry, Doc." "Wish I could help." "Alphas?" "Do you seriously believe in that crap?" "World is filled with surprises." "How much longer we got to be here?" "You in a rush?" "Trying to get home to watch Storage Wars?" "Tip said sometime today." "Alright, well, this Muzak is killing me." "I'm tired of reading deodorant labels." "You can always switch to hemorrhoid cream." "Douchebag." "That would be aisle three, Hicks." "Yeah." "It's on!" "Cover the exits." "Back corner!" "She's an Alpha!" "She tapped into the cable!" "Pull her loose!" "Everybody down!" "This is a robbery!" "Surprise!" "You're not the only one." "Drop it!" "I said drop it!" "Hicks, cover your ears!" "Let's go!" "Meg!" "We're leaving!" "Uh-huh." "Hicks, get the rest." "Hicks, get 'em." "Take 'em down!" "We've got two males heading west on 43rd." "Silver pickup." "No rear plate." "Don't take no for an answer" "There's no telling where we've been" "Because people don't understand, understand, understand" "People don't understand" "People like me" "Standing by 1515 Broadway just east of..." "Harken." "Yo, Harken." "What's up, Hicks?" "I can't spell worth a crap." "What..." "What is it?" "U before E, except after..." "You kidding me?" "You know there's a spell check on that thing." "What, are your adrenals kicking your ass?" "You're kind of looking a little pasty there." "You know, I mean, for you." "Don't hate." "Appreciate." "Okay?" "Besides, which one of us actually caught someone and which one of us shot and killed a parking meter?" "Friggin' meter had it coming." "Sorry." "I kind of screwed the pooch." "Don't blame yourself." "You want to blame somebody, you blame Clay." "Some damn intel, please?" "Is that too much to ask?" "You know?" ""Hey, freaks, FYI, you might want to bring some earplugs."" "Besides, we still bagged one out of three, which is more than I can say for Clay and his boys." "Take it easy on Clay." "He's a Pittsburgh Pirates fan." "He suffers enough." "That's a self-inflicted wound." "Dude is still in there?" "He couldn't get a Girl Scout to confess her favorite cookie." "So that's Megan Bates?" "So look, neurodiversity." "What is that?" "E-U?" "U-E?" "You have been logging in to that chat room, haven't you?" "Helping Alphas, right?" "That's part of our job." "I'm telling you, there's a lot of people in that chat room." "That got questions." "That chat room is filled with pimply-faced teenagers pretending to be Alphas." "You're probably the only real Alpha on there." "Maybe." "Gary goes on there sometimes." "Really?" "Mmm." "Has he logged in lately?" "His mother left a voice-mail yesterday saying, uh, he stopped calling." "Nothing for two weeks." "No, I haven't heard from him." "Should have never let Clay assign Gary to the NSA." "Well, it's not like we had a choice." "Look, I'll rattle their cage, remind them to let him call home." "Come on." "What are you doing?" "No." "No coffee." "What are you doing?" "Come on." "Whoa." "You drop dead of a heart attack, and I'm on my own." "We're a team." "Look, I hate to break it to you, but without Rosen, there is no team." "Rachel." "Daddy." "So loud." "It's a beautiful day." "You haven't left the house in months." "You quit your job, you move back home." "Fine." "But hiding in your room?" "Jumping at every sound?" "Rachel, don't tune me out." "Please, Baba." "I'm just tired, okay?" "Hey." "I found you a new therapist." "No." "Rachel, he can help." "Baba, there's only one person that I've ever trusted, and he's gone." "So, please." "Okay?" "I just want to rest." "Have a wonderful day, now." "And that's an order." "They say there's no such thing as Alphas!" "But I know." "Alphas control the world!" "They're everywhere!" " Alphas control the world!" " Hey." " They put thoughts into my head." " Back off." "Terrible thoughts beamed into my brain." "You." "You need to stop talking." "We don't use beams." "Taxi!" "Taxi!" "Excuse me." "Let's share a cab." "It's the wife." "The phone doesn't work inside." "I'll catch up." "Come on." "Hicks, what are you doing?" "You're not supposed to take that off." "Let her have some fresh air." "This is Binghamton." "No, not just Binghamton." "Nice girl like you gets the upgrade." "Building Seven?" "You think I'm scared?" "Go to hell." "Traitors." "Nice." "That's why you're not supposed to take that mask off." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Please wait here while I get her transfer papers." "I hate this place." "Yeah, well, it's part of the job." "Just hold your nose and think about that government dental plan." "Jamming pacifier chips in the back of people's necks?" "That's not the job." "That's Night of the Living Dead." "What else are we going to do?" "These people are violent." "And they have abilities." "Lethal abilities." "So at least this is humane." "Humane?" "Like the SPCA?" "Alphas are rabid dogs now, is that it?" "Megan Bates and her crew pulled off fifteen armed robberies, left five people dead." "Now, she definitely belongs down here." "All of these people down here have..." "Gary?" "It is Gary." "Gary!" "Guard!" "This is from the National Security Agency in Arlington, 10 days ago." "And you just found out about this?" "NSA won't tell you what color the sky is without formal approval." "We warned you about this when you sent him over there." "Gary's autistic." "He's got needs." "He doesn't like to be touched." "Gary's got a set routine, specific food, and he needs someone to listen to him talk about cars." "I told them." "Think they care?" "He sent two of their agents to the hospital." "They sent him here." "End of story." "Hey, Dad." "Oh, Dani." "Hi." "You're early today." "Yeah." "Yeah, I am." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "It's just this..." "The level of sedation is just completely gratuitous." "Let me help." "Oh, thank you." "Yeah, that's a little bit better." "I think your visits are the only thing keeping me sane." "So, how's everything in your big, bad world?" "Um, Dad, according to your lawyers, the government is making you look pretty bad." "They brought up the LSD bust, everything that mom said in the divorce papers..." "Well, I worry them something fierce." "They'll do whatever it takes to discredit me." "No, Dad, they're calling it a history of mental illness." "I don't know if they're ever going to let you out of here." "No, Dani." "They are going to." "And soon, I think." "How can you be so sure?" "Because, try as they might, Dani, the government cannot cover up everything." "Plus, there is Stanton Parish." "Hmm?" "Out there somewhere, planning God knows what." "Sooner or later, there will be an event, or a series of events they simply cannot control without me." "So that's what I'm waiting for." "An event." "Okay, Ms. Bates, you'll feel a little pinch." "And running final diagnostic." "Why don't you just turn the chip off for 10 minutes?" "Okay?" "So we can find out what happened to our friend." "There's nothing that I can do." "I understand, sir, but it's our belief that Mr. Bell was simply mishandled." "He's a valuable asset." "So you shouldn't have stuck a chip in his brain!" "Yeah, not helping." "I'm activating her chip now." "Whoa!" "Stop!" "Some kind of power surge?" "MEDICAL Cut the breaker!" "Cut the breaker!" "It's Meg." "When they chipped her, they let her in the whole damn system." "They'll all wake up." "What is that?" "What the hell is going on?" "Power loss." "Get the guards in." "Lock these doors down." "Both sides." "Code 1228." "Building Seven." "Code 1228." "Building Seven." "No." "No." "No." " Gary." "Gary." "It's me, Bill." " No." "Gary." "It's me, Bill." "Gary!" " Gary." " No." "No." " Gary." "Come on." "Get up." " No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "We've got a situation here!" "No, no, Gary!" "Agent Harken." "I remember you." "You've got a weak heart." "I can stop that." "Gary." "This is bad." "We've got to get out of here." "Do you see signals?" "Gary, I don't think I can amp up." "So, please tell me you see a way out." "Come on, partner." "Look." "Okay, partner." "I'm gonna need you." "Okay?" "It's time to step your game up." "Step." "Step your game up." "All right, Gary?" "Cornell!" "Baby." "I shorted out everything." "But the fail-safe doors dropped." "Let me in there." "I can make a difference." "Unless your ability misfires again." "Someone turn off that damn alarm!" "Testing." "Testing." "One, two." "Testing." "Mic check." "Sibilance." "Sibilance." "Hello." "Cornell Scipio." "Hello, Cornell." "This is a formal negotiation, Agent Clay." "You call me Mr. Scipio." "We're not negotiating." "Release the hostages, or things will get worse." "Worse than having a chip in my neck?" "All right." "You want to play hardball?" "Asher?" "Please." "I have a family." "I have a family, too." "Don't shoot." "We can still talk about this." "I'm not going shoot him." "Kimi?" "My God." "That's Kimi Milard." "Next time." "Okay." "We get the message." "Mr. Scipio, what are your demands?" "You know what?" "I'm actually done talking with you, Clay." "There's only one person I'm willing to negotiate with." "Doc, there's been an incident." "I'll fill you in on the ride." "No, Nathan." "That's not the way it's going to work." "You fill me in first." "And then, if I decide to help, then we take that ride." "Rachel." "Rachel?" "Hi." "Dr. Rosen." "I never thought I'd see you again." "I know, but I'm here now, and it's because I need you." "Which means you have to leave this room." "Now, you've been here before." "You know what you have to do." "Focus on the things that comfort you." "Tune everything else out." "Take a step forward." "So I'm thinking for dinner, there's this little sushi place on Broadway." "You like sushi, right?" "What am I doing here?" "I'm supposed to be at work." "No." "Right now, you're supposed to be here with me." "So, kiss me." "Okay?" "Tell me I'm beautiful." "Oh, you're beautiful." "Nina." "Go home." "What do you want?" "Because I have things to do." "Nina, Gary is in trouble, and he needs us." "Gary, I should have never let Clay loan you out to the NSA." "I know that now." "I just thought I needed to do whatever it took to show that we were still valuable without Rosen." "And I overstepped." "Hey, I'm trying to apologize right now." "Do you hear me?" "Gary, do you hear..." "Gary!" "All right, that was too loud." "I was dumb." "I just..." "I am sorry." "He's here." "What?" "Hey, Rach." "Hicks." "So, you came." "I'm here for Gary." "Not you." "Right." "What happened between the two of you?" "I woke up." "Yeah, is that what you call pushing everyone you meet?" "You need help." "You feel like jumping off a building?" "Please, the both of you." "You can discuss how much you care about each other later." "Right now, there are things I need each of you to do while I'm out of contact." "Out of contact?" "Yes." "If I'm going to work with the people inside, I need to be inside." "Doc, you know, you put a lot of these guys in there." "And what if all they want to do is get their hands on you?" "Huh?" "Well, if that's the case, this will all be over shortly." "I'll do what I can in there." "And I'll relay what I discover to the three of you via Rachel." "But if for some reason, I can't defuse the situation, then, Cameron..." "Right." "We play cavalry." "Yes, at the right moment." "And only if absolutely necessary." "Rachel, I'm in." "I don't see anyone so far." "But if I meet visible Alphas, I'll let you know." "It's deserted." "But I hear footsteps." "I'm here to talk." "I'm not." "Hello, Ted." "You asked me a lot of questions before you threw me in here." "How I see weak spots." "What they look like to me." "Still curious?" "That's your radial nerve." "Oh." "Touchy, isn't it?" "I see Building Seven hasn't diminished your abilities any." "Asher!" "This man is our guest." "I'm sorry about that." "Dr. Rosen." "Cornell Scipio." "I'm a big fan." "Welcome to the monkey house." "Plenty crowded, thanks to you." "Hey, Dr. Rosen's asking to see Bill and Gary." "Scipio's not going for it." "There's a banging." "It's faint, but it's regular." "Scipio's voice just got angrier." "He wants to know how Dr. Rosen can justify putting them in there, how they've been treated." "We are all still in Building Seven." "We are rotting." "Yes, I understand your frustration." "You all are being treated deplorably." "And I want to change that." "That's one of the main reasons I went public with the Alpha situation in the first place." "That's why I am here." "I want..." "I want to help." "You want to help?" "Okay." "Tell me..." "Tell us why we're so screwed up." "You are not screwed up." "If anything, you are all extremely gifted." "Come on." "I set things on fire." "I make people's skin sizzle." "Let's face it, they're never going to let us out of here." "I'm a mistake." "We are all mistakes." ""Maybe we all belong in a cage."" "And here comes the line about how there are no mistakes." "We're all just people." "Kumbaya." "No." "Actually, Dr. Rosen isn't giving him any sympathy at all." ""Your ability isn't the mistake."" "The mistake is how you choose to use it." "Yes." "And that's what I wanted to talk to you about." "What in my brain makes me different?" "Can..." "Hey, can I turn it off?" "You really want to talk about this right now?" "Yeah." "I can't hear a damn thing." "I get up at 7:42." "What did you say?" "I get up." "I get up at 7:42, brush my teeth and dress myself appropriately." "Shirt and pants." "You have to wear pants even if they're uncomfortable." "It's important to wear pants when you leave the house." "Right." "It's important to wear pants." "And it's important to interact with people." "Right, Gary?" "I get up at 7:42." "Brush my teeth, dress myself..." "Gary." "Okay." "Whenever you are stressed or you feel threatened, your sweat glands produce two chemicals that, when combined, combust." "Oh, so I'm combustible." "That's cute." "Uh, actually, at the moment, you seem quite calm, despite your condition." "Which strikes me as, um, a bit odd, given the situation we're in right now." "Is this a delaying tactic, Mr. Scipio?" "No, no, no." "My questions matter." "Because if I'm a mistake, and I can't change that, where does that end?" "A mistake isn't human." "A mistake is something else." "A "them."" "Us versus them." "And I don't get to choose whose side I'm on." "That, uh, sounds like something coming from Stanton Parish." "Stanton Parish?" "Where's that?" "Somewhere near Baton Rouge?" "Baby?" "We're ready." "Ready for what?" "What's going on?" "I was right." "This has all been a ruse." "Listen to me, Cornell." "There is no us or them." "You are not a mistake." "Thinking that way is the mistake." "And you can prove it to yourself." "You can prove your humanity." "Just let these hostages go, and I promise..." "You know what, Rosen?" "I've enjoyed our little chat." "But, um..." "It's time for the main event." "Where is he taking them?" "Whoa, what happened?" "All right." "It's time." "Guys, I've got to get inside." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Go!" "Now!" "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "Time's up." "What are they doing?" "Oh, my God." "Somebody has got to stop him." "Oh, my..." "Hicks." "They just shot a guard!" "Oh, my God." "Okay." "No, no, no." "You can't do this." "I can do all sorts of things." "Okay." "Go, go, go." "No!" "Oh, my God." "We need an ambulance." "We need, uh, the paramedics!" "It's wrong." "It's all wrong." "What are you talking about?" "I don't smell the burning, okay?" "The yelling, the screaming, it's only on the monitors." "You okay?" "I'm okay." "Hicks." "Hicks, can you hear me?" " It's all fake." " We're clear." "It's fake." "Rachel's saying it's all fake." "Hicks, I'm hearing something upstairs." "Come on." "This way!" "Move, move, move." "Let's go!" "She hacked into the security feed." "She faked the whole thing." "Painted a picture with the ones and zeros to lure us in here." "Where'd they go?" "Too late." "You lose." "Hicks, I'm still hearing the banging." "Ted Asher." "He, uh, he finds the weak spots." "Right?" "Rachel, where is that banging coming from?" "It's the south-east corner." "He was punching his way out." "Come on." "Move!" "It's not going to do you any good." "Just be quiet!" "Not you." "You're not one of us." "Rachel, Rachel, look at me." "Okay?" "You're not scared." "You are completely focused." "Cornell, let Bill and Gary go." "You don't need them." "You don't need hostages anymore." "You've proved your humanity already." "I'm not human." "I'm an Alpha." "Please don't do this!" "Doc!" "Doc!" "Cameron." "They've taken Bill and Gary." "You've got to stop them, Cameron." "Which one?" "I get up at 7:42." "I get up at 7:42." "I get up at 7:42." "I swear to God." "Shut him up." "He doesn't shut up in the back of the car." "Second from the front." "They're in the backseat." "Take the shot, Hicks." "Cameron, it's just like throwing a quarter." "Just like throwing a quarter." "God." "No." "Bill!" "Gary!" "Gary." "Thank God." "Lie down, lie down, lie down." "Bill, deep breaths." "Deep breaths, Bill." "Good job, Bill." "Good shot, Hicks." "Asher's out cold." "Where's Scipio?" "Rachel?" "He's gone." "Let's face it, Nathan." "You can't control the Alpha's situation." "You haven't found Parish yet." "And you or whoever else is in charge can't cover this up forever." "For the past eight months, you've been fighting a losing battle." "Look, what happened in Building Seven, it was bad." "But those hostages came out alive." "You and your team made that happen." "Yeah, we did what we could." "Listen, why don't you just tell me what you want to tell me?" "We need you." "We need you to pull your team back together, deal with the Building Seven escapees, and keep a lid on this entire mess." "Well, why didn't the government think of that before they institutionalized me?" "The government is a hundred thousand feudal kingdoms all fighting for money and control." "Sure, you've got some enemies in DC, but you've got some friends, too." "And what are these friends offering me?" "A full pardon." "A cause." "A fat consulting fee." "It will be just like the old days." "Ah, you know, there's a reason they call them "the old days."" "It's because they are old." "Lee, I got you a sweet deal here." "Take it, or you'll end up back in your rubber room." "All right." "So if you or whomever wants me back, I need to run the program." "I decide what happens to the Alphas we locate." "I approve of the assignments, and there's no interference." "Or I'm out." "Hey, Gary." "My mom's hummus." "Your favorite." "Rachel, he's not a dog." "Okay?" "He doesn't respond to treats." "Dogs don't like hummus." "Do they, Gary?" "I thought you said he was talking." "Yeah, he was." "You know, Gary babble." "But after the crash, not a peep." "I figured if you bring him to his familiar surroundings, he'd feel something, or..." "Maybe he just needs some time." "Okay?" "Just to get adjusted." "Come on, Gary." "Gary, come on." "Look." "Gary." "Come on, now." "Look around you." "All right?" "Look." "Everybody's here." "You're back at work." "What do you do?" "You greet your coworkers appropriately." "Right?" "So, come on." "Come on." "Greet me." "Come on, you bastard." "Greet me." "Look, I'll let you drive." "Bill, you're on the right track." "Still, uh, may I?" "He's all yours." "Gary, I understand why you're not greeting everyone." "Greetings usually happen at 9:00 a.m." "So now, it is 3:14." "Now, we're not on a case." "What do you usually do around 3:14?" "Okay, this is hopeless." "He's exactly the same way as he was when..." " Don't say that." " Wait." "Wait, wait." "He just." "He just looked at me." "Did you see that?" "Gary, let's imagine today." "All right?" "You got up at 7:42." "You brushed your teeth, as usual." "And then, you got dressed." "You know, shirt, socks, shoes, pants." "Right?" "You've got to wear pants." "Right." "Because that's important." "Right?" "And then, you, uh, went downstairs, you got breakfast, and then you came in." "And you greeted everyone." "Um, and then, you worked, you had lunch and now, it is, uh..." "Well, you've been here all day." "So, what do you normally do then?" "She's worried about you, Gary." "She hasn't heard from you." "What are you going to do?" "This is Sandra Bell." "Leave a message." "It's the voice-mail." "I hate the voice-mail." "Mom, I'm at the office." "And I'm fine." "I don't have a chip in my head anymore." "Okay, bye." "Gary." "Uh." "No, don't do that." "I know." "I know." "I didn't mean to." "My personal space." "I know." "I know." "Too bad." "Because here comes another one." "No." "Get off me." "Get off." "You called me a bastard." "That's not nice." "You tell him, Gary." "Yeah." "Bill, you know what?" "You're the bastard." "You're right." "You left me with NSA." "And they made me spy on my friends." "And then they wouldn't answer when I greeted them appropriately." "And they put me in Building Seven, Bill." "And you just left me there." "You all left me there." "Yes, Gary." "Uh, that's right." "I did." "And that was a mistake." "Yeah." "A mistake." "But now, we are going to make it right." "All of us." "Together." "We, uh, we stored a few things in your office while you were gone." "I'm going to help you get them out." "All right?" "Thanks." "Wait." "Hicks, why are you..." "What kinds of things?" "Smelly things?" "Hicks?" "I'm glad to have you back." "Yeah." "No, don't do that." "I don't like that." "Too bad." "Stanton." "It's a little dramatic, don't you think?" "Holding a meeting in the wasteland?" "Sentimental, actually." "I marched through here during the war." "It was orchards, then." "All the way to the river." "And now, it's a pit." "People really do screw everything up, don't they?" "The smokestack has ever waged war on the apple tree." "We'll put an end that." "Better people, better world." "How's your father?" "He's free." "Like you said." "I just got the call." "Good." "Such injustice, him rotting away in there." "I'm glad that he can benefit from our efforts." "Still, miles to go before we sleep." "Let's get to work."
