You're the one that

You killed what, 12, 13 people?

I only made that bomb.

Sanford's assistant

He was being transferred

bomb and killed 13 people,

We're already tracking down
family, friends, old haunts,

possible accomplices.

You're covering the external.

But you're also going to
need to understand what's

going on in Banning's head.

I'll hit the lab, do a

Alec, I just wanted to be the
first to give you the news.

I wasn't asking for help.

Maybe not, but I need to help.

Let me help.

Of course.

Talk soon.

♪ ♪

[elevator door dings]

All right.

Let's do this.

I went through Wes
Banning's prison time.

He was a model inmate until
he tanked his parole hearing.

After that, he
became disruptive,

earned multiple
stints in solitary.

Matthias made him confess
to a crime he didn't commit,

robbed him of any
possibility of parole.

That would increase his
anger and frustration.

And he took it out on the
guards and his fellow inmates.

So Wes uses violence to
relieve his internal tension.

To a point.

Places Banning bombs...
courthouse, law firm,

social services office

they all represented
legal authority.

But they were also empty.

I think he wanted to hurt
institutions, not people.

Not then.

But given what
he's been through,

he might be more dangerous now.

He's escalated before.

His first arrest was for
slashing someone's tires,

then a domestic disturbance
with an ex-girlfriend,

and finally a barroom
brawl that led

to an assault conviction.

Anger issues.

Banning doesn't run
from confrontations.

He attacks.

[gentle piano music]

Professor, you've been quiet.

[sighs]

I was just thinking about.

Banning facing life in
prison for something

he didn't do and the
damage that would inflict.

He's probably
feeling disempowered,

a feeling he doesn't like.

When Wes was arrested,
he had a lot of bombs.

And he built them compulsively,
suggests he may have hidden

some for a rainy day.

You think he might
try to get one.

If Wes hid any
explosives, it would have

been somewhere close to him.

The man loves his bombs.

- The apartment where he lived?
- No.

The FBI tore that place apart.

He worked for a
while at a factory.

It was abandoned.

They plowed it down a few
years ago, nothing left.

Didn't Banning once have
a job at a community

college near his house?

He worked as a handyman.

And he'd know the secret spaces.

Checking socials
of the students.

Pictures from police activity
from earlier today... someone

broke into this
utility building.

Campus safety says nothing
of value is missing.

Nothing they know of.

Look, we have to assume
that Wes has a bomb now

and the inclination to use it.

You two get us some food.

Use my card.

I have a call to make.

[suspenseful music]

You think Wes Banning is
going to try to bomb the FBI?

You specifically.

Wes targets authority figures.

You told me he once
called you the author

of all his misfortunes.

You need to get
out of your office.

In fact, you should evacuate
the entire building.

Or I could wait and
see what happens.

That wasn't the response
I was hoping for.

FBI offices are constantly
getting bomb threats.

- We're ready for them...
- Marisa

which makes this the
safest place I can be.

And if he does try
to come for me,

it might be our best
chance to catch him.

[inhales] At least
alert your security

people just to be safe.

The second I get off this call.

Thanks, Alec.

[breathing heavily]

First question, imagine there's

a runaway freight train
headed towards four

children crossing the track.

But you have a switch you
can flip to derail the train,

saving the children but
killing the engineer.

- What do you do?
- Is that...

Is this a joke?

The Trolley Problem?

It's a variation.

I don't get it.

Is the professor stalling?

Trains and children,

what do I care
about any of that?

I think he's also testing
Banning for empathy...

OK.

Or lack of it.

Same scenario, four children
on the track, except this time,

there are four adult male
engineers on the train.

Do you flip the switch?

Of course I do.

It's probably the
engineer's fault

the train's out of control.

He's trying to see if
Banning's a psychopath.

One more, imagine
that it's not a train.

It's a truck.

And it's rolling
downhill, no driver.

And on the sidewalk, there are
children playing in its path.

You don't have a switch, but
you're standing on the curb

next to a middle-aged,
overweight man.

And you know if you shove this
man in front of the truck,

it'll divert it,
saving the children.

Taken away the switch
tests Banning's

willingness to make the trade
without a mediator, right?

Do you do it?

What difference does it make

train, truck, switch, no
switch, engineer, bystander.

I kill him.

I kill everyone I have
to to save the children.

So I threw a switch, all right?

Throw a switch, save a child.

[breathing heavily]

Tell me about your daughter.

What do you remember
most about her?

She was independent
just like her dad,

always insisted on doing
everything herself.

One time, I was making her
a peanut butter sandwich

just peanut butter, no jelly.

She'd come over and say
she wanted to make it.

But I wouldn't give
her a bread knife.

So she got one out of her
own Barbie kitchen set,

come over and cut the sandwich
into little triangles.

For a long time, I thought you

were a psychopath,

a stone-cold killer
without the possibility

of redemption.

That's why you asked
me all those questions.

I don't put a lot of stock
in a ten-minute quiz.

But I will say that
you are capable

of empathy and love.

And you held on to that, even
after years of injustice.

Well, life sucks.

And then you die, right?

Mm.

Pull over.

I see something on the left.

You said Dahlia you loved
the purple place, right?

She loved purple flowers?

[breathing shakily] No.

No, don't. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

If this is the place
that she lives, I

- this isn't a good idea.
- Wes.

No.

I'm the source of everything bad

that's happened in her life.

I scared her mother away.

I screwed up with
social workers.

I mean, I built bombs.

- Wes.
- We have to go.

Hey, Wes, I'm
knocking on that door.
