That reporter, Erika Lyle,
she wants to come over tonight

and shoot a little footage.
- Oh?

Happy marriage, American dream.

Are you sure?
- Shut up.

We're not here to kill you!

Holt!

Jesus, Emily, stop. Minefield!

Why did you kill all those people?

Mistakes were made.
They had to be cleaned up.

Who do you work for?

No!

The hives.
- What about the hives?

Marco had 'em.
- Farley had it, too.

And Valerie Chandris had it.

It's a rash.
What Is their connection?

Tommy, I found something.
And I really need your help.

You had no authorization.
no warrant.

You are suspended without pay,
pending formal review.

Detective Tommy Gibbs was one
of Boston's finest.

He gave the force 15 years
of his life.

15 years. That's something.

Tommy was something.

Passionate, dependable
and fiercely loyal,

not only to the badge,
but to the people around him.

That crazy accent made him hard
to understand in Spanish or English.

Yeah, his ego might have been
a little more inflated

than Brady's footballs.

But damn it if he wasn't
the toughest, most determined,

relentless cop I know.

A good man, a good officer...

a good friend.

So, everyone, raise a glass...

to Tommy.

To Tommy.
- To Tommy.

Gone. Never forgotten.

Losing someone... never is easy.

He was a good man.

I'm here when you need me.

So, here we are.
Drinking, laughing.

Pretending Tommy's life was
sunshine and roses.

It's a wake.

It's supposed to be a celebration.

It's a lie.

He was in a bad place
before he died.

I suspended him.
Maybe I shouldn't have done it.

Maybe if I hadn't
then he wouldn't have...

Wait a minute,
you think he was suicidal?

Yes.

And why did you suspend him?

He was working an off-book
Investigation

at Catalyst Diagnostics.

He broke into their facility
and got caught.

They agreed that they wouldn't
press charges against him

but I suspended him...
- Excuse me, sorry.

Order up.

So, What do you think?

Um... Well, the signs point
to suicide.

Yeah, but what about
the bruise on his forehead?

Well, carbon monoxide poisoning
causes seizures,

he could've smashed his head off
the steering wheel? I don't know.

Mm. Look,

if you wanna talk about Tommy.
I'm here. okay?

Please eat something, I'm not gonna
finish those fries by myself.

What's going on with you?

What do you mean?

What?
What?

You're glowing.

I think I'm kinda seeing someone.

Yeah?
- Yeah.

Who is she?

I don't wanna say.
Mm-mm, not yet.

We're just...
We're still figuring it out.

We gotta go.
- Okay.

Um... I'm happy.

Good. You deserve it.

Thanks.
Uh, well, I gotta go.

Uh, It's good to see you.
- Yeah.

All right. Take some of these.

Okay. Bye.

This is nice, eating together.

It's nice having you here
for a change.

I've got a surprise for you guys.

I have, um... used some
of my banked vacation days,

and I got the rest of the week off.

I wish you'd told us sooner, I...
I'm getting slammed at work lately.

You can't move some things around?
- My clients need me.

Um... how about we all do
something this weekend?

Sure, yeah. Why not?
- Yeah, that sounds...

that sounds good. Let's do that,
let's get out of the City.

We can drive up to Pelham,
we can stay by Raymond Park.

Maybe.

They've got that rock climbing site
up there.

Sounds cool.
- We can talk about it.

Okay.

You look great. Is something big
happening at work today?

Just something I threw on.

Flynn, let's go.

Uh, I could take him.

Uh, no, no, um... You just relax.

You earned it.
Uh, you can take him tomorrow.

Okay.

All right, bye, you guys.
Have fun at school.

Yeah.

It's us. It's just us. It's just us.

We tracked Rex Wolfe to a small
farmhouse outside of Zelena.

He opened fire, we returned.

A physical altercation ensued...
and a civilian was killed.

Wolfe fled, Agent Byrne...
Agent Byrne and I pursued.

Wolfe stepped on a landmine
and he died instantly.

Well, it wasn't an optimal result,

but at least we get to close
the book on this.

Close the book? Sir, we still don't
know why he killed his victims.

Wolfe said he was ordered to kill.
We can't ignore that.

The Son of Sam was ordered
to kill by a dog.

Sir, this was a clear-headed
soldier on a mission.

We believe there are people
above him.

All right.

You're free to pursue this...
quietly.

But whatever you bring me
better be big.

Deputy Director Webb is coming up
from Washington tomorrow.

Unfounded suspicion is not
a good look, understand?

Yeah.
- Yeah. Thank you.

And listen. At least this maniac
can't kill again, right?

Right.

Did you mean what you said?
About trusting my instincts?

Yeah. They let us track down
a serial killer

halfway around the world.

Before Moldova,
I found a connection

between Clay and Valerie.

Medical tests they had done at
a place called Catalyst Diagnostics.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because we didn't know each other,
and I didn't know what it meant.

So I asked a friend of mine
to help me out.

Who? Who?

A cop. He, uh... He looked into it
and now he's dead.

Jesus.

Okay, I'm sorry.
And did he find anything?

I don't know. He, uh, broke in
and then he got caught,

but instead of suing the city,
they asked for Tommy's badge.

That sounds like someone
wanted something to disappear.

I don't know what he found
at Catalyst.

But I think it has something to do
with the fentanyl killings.

Come here.
I need to show you something.

Damn it.

Hello.
- Hey. man, It's Nick.

Hey, did you have a chance
to trace the recipient's IP address?

Just came through. All the DMs
came out of Boston Mercy Hospital.

Yeah, uh, thanks. I appreciate it.

Valerie had diabetes, Clay had CTE,

Farley was getting regular
allergy shots, and Ramos's wife said

that he had back pain from a ski
accident.

So that's regular cortisone shots.

Turns out Marcos has asthma.
So, that's five out of six.

All of the diagnostic tests
were being run through Catalyst.

So, that's what they have in common.

Another thing that they had
in common were the rashes.

Each one of them had a rash.

But they were getting different
treatments and different shots.

And Catalyst, they don't manufacture
medicine, they just run the blood.

So, how does that work?

He got allergy shots
every week for years.

Thank you.

But you said his behavior
only changed recently?

Yeah. Well, more like intensified.

Anything about the shots change?
Anything out of the ordinary?

No. Well...

Three weeks before Nathan
was murdered,

his doctor called and said
he was due for a flu shot.

So, I arranged a traveling
nurse service for him.

A nurse came and gave it to him.

And did Nathan have a reaction
to that injection?

I think so.
One sec.

Here it is.

Three days later, he had
me pick up hydrocortisone.

He broke out In hives.
Also...

I don't know.
The nurse guy. he was different

How?
- Really big guy. Intense.

I asked him if he had
any extra doses

because I thought I'd get
a flu shot too,

but he said. no, he didn't have
any extra doses.

I mean, that's weird. right?
- Yeah.

It was him.

This was the person that gave
Nathan Farley the injection?

Yeah. Yeah.
Really creeped me out.

Hey.
- Hey. You ready to go?

Uh, yeah.

Okay, quick question.

How do you feel about playing
a little hooky today?

What?
- Well... how about you and I...

spend the day together?
I'll call you in sick from school.

I feel like you haven't checked
with Mom about this.

Yeah, well, she's got a lot
on her mind right now.

I know I haven't been around
much lately...

but I wanna make it up to you.

What do you say?

Yeah,cool.
- Yeah?

Hey, listen, I was thinking...

We should go away somewhere.

How?

I have a family. Work.

they'll still be here
when we get back.

Okay.
I have to go.

Me and Donny were on duty.

We saw there was a breach
in the archive room,

Donny went down to apprehend
him. We were just doing our job.

Well, we're investigating
Detective Gibbs, not you.

So, can we please see the footage?

All right.

Okay.

Oh, we've got another angle.

What?

N - No... That's outside.

What? No. That's it?
That's all you got?

That's all.

You got any cameras
in the archive room?

No.

Can you take us down
to the archive room?

Not without a warrant.
- A man was killed over this,

and you're gonna hold us back
just because of some paperwork?

Byrne...
- Look. I like my job.

Without my boss's okay,
this is the end of the tour.

Okay. We'll come back
with a warrant.

Thank you, sir. Byrne.

Why would you do that?
- We've got to work up a warrant.

You know we need to see
what Tommy found.

Come on, Byrne. If you wanna make
the case, we'll get a warrant.

Hey. Dad?
- Yeah, what's up. buddy?

Never mind.

You know you can talk to me
about anything, right?

No, you got mad last time.

Is this about Tyler Brandon Mills?

Yeah. I wa... I wasn't mad at you,

uh... I just had a lot on my mind.

I just think it was pretty awesome.

And, like... you took out
a terrorist. That's all.

Well, I tried my best.

I just wonder if I've got
what it takes,

like in a life-or-death situation.

Hey, you know what this is?

A plant?

It's moss. It grows on the north
side of trees and rocks.

So?

Well, It's...
It's easy to get lost out here.

If you know where north is, then...
you can always find your way home.

The compass on my phone
works pretty good too.

You're a real smartass,
you know that?

Let's fill this thing up.

I'm glad I was too sick for school
today.

Me too.

Okay, how about this one?

Uh... leaves with 3. leave them be.
- Leave them be.

Okay, you know that one. You know
What they say about snakes?

What?

Never pee on them.

Okay. you have the fentanyl
killer case

and the Tyler Brandon Mills case
report. right?

I do. I do, yes.

Here we go.

Here comes Director Webb.

Good afternoon, sir.

Julianne.
- Hobster.

How are you?
- Hey. It's been too long.

How's Boston been treating you?

Not too bad, yeah.
How's Gwen and Blake?

Growing like weeds.
Oh! Of course. I can imagine.

All right, come on.

Thanks for picking him up
from school.

Actually, we took the day off.

Nick, school is important for Flynn.

Routine is a key part
of his therapy.

I'm starting to think that Flynn
doesn't need to go to therapy.

He should be with us, his family.

He spent his childhood thinking
his mother was dead.

He met and lost his biological
grandmother in days,

and then Warren's health scare.

Trust me, he needs Doctor
Oduwale's support and expertise.

We all do.

Maybe he'd need less of Doctor 0's
support

if you weren't so distracted lately.

Are you really putting this on
my job when you've barely been home?

You take a few days off and think
you're "father of the year"?

I think that I'm doing my best.

How much more shit am I gonna get
about being busy for a few weeks?

Weeks? You've been a stranger
for months.

Ever since the miscarriage.

I was giving you space. You said
that you didn't wanna talk about it.

For a few days, not forever.
It's like I don't exist to you.

You don't spend time with me,
you barely even look at me.

Well, does someone else have
that covered now?

What is that supposed to mean?
- Why were you in a hotel?

I took an afternoon to decompress.
- Sure you did.

You're being insane.

Byrne.

Byrne... go home.

I'll call you if I find anything.

There are hundreds of people
with the name Quill

In Massachusetts alone.
- Yeah.

Mmmmh. Keep it going.
Thanks.

Hey, you're that guy from the FBI
who brought down that terrorist.

Put his drinks on my tab,
this guy's a national hero.

No. No.

I saw you on the TV.
You were amazing.

Hey, you all right, pal?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Thanks.

Emily.

Emily, you in there?
I, uh... you see, it's Nick.

I need to talk.

Yeah, okay, I'm coming.
One second.

Okay.

...I, uh...

What happened?

I think Alice Is cheating on me.
- What?

Yep, I found, um, uh...

I found some e-mails and some...
some, some messages.

Wait. Um, e-mails?
What're you talking about, Nick?

I swear... I don't... I don't...
I don't even know who they're from.

I don't. I just...

I don't even really know
What they mean. Maybe...

Maybe they don't mean anything.
What are you talking about?

I know. I do. I know. I do.

No. Nick, I don't believe that.
She doesn't seem like that.

She would never hurt you.
She seems so...

So safe.
- No, loving. And loyal.

I guess you never really know
someone, do you?

Maybe it's for the best.

What are you talking about? Hey.

Hey.

No. No, Nick. No.

Why not?

We don't get to go backwards.

You ever, um...

Do you ever think
about...

What could've been?

No.

We can't erase what happened.

Hello?
- It's Cal, I've got something.

Hey.
- Hey.

Can I come in?
- Yeah.

So... I think I found Quill.
Can I show you?

Yeah, go ahead.

So. Quill Is a. uh. a research
project run out

of the Saugus University.

It was started in the late seventies
with government funding.

They handed out hundreds of grants,
it was like a science incubator.

But then in the mid-eighties,
the funding dried up.

Is there any connection
to Catalyst Diagnostics?

No.
- What about Rex Wolfe?

Not yet. But there is this guy.
He's still a professor at Saugus.

Ulf Maston.
You recognize him?

No.

I mean, maybe we, uh...

We talk to him In the morning,
right?

I'll see you in the morning.

What's going on over there?

All right.
I'll get out of your hair.

Those are foster kids
from the Barrett House.

Some of them were Shen
experiments like Laurie.

I couldn't let it lie.

Detective Gibbs was helping me
with that. too.

Good night.
- Night.

For a couple of days and like, uh...
I could fix everything.

He's in building 60.
Let me find out where it is.

Okay.

Good morning.

Alice...

I'm sorry.

There's been
a lot going on at work...

that I...

that I couldn't talk about.

We can talk now.

I didn't kill Tyler Brandon Mills
during that convoy.

What?

Another man killed Mills...

and then he put a gun
to the back of my head.

I thought he was gonna kill me, too.

Oh, my God.

All I could do is just lay there.

And then he left.

But the interview you did
with Erika Lyle?

It was a lie.

And... And I wanted
to tell you what really happened.

That I... That I was afraid
that I was gonna die.

And that I felt like a coward.

I wanted to tell you that.

I'm no hero.
I ran from Maura.

I ran away from our, our son.

When he was...
When he was struggling, and...

Because I did...
I didn't know how to help him.

And then I ran away from you
after the miscarriage, be...

Because I was afraid
to face the pain, honestly.

We lost a child, and I w...
I wasn't there for you...

or for us.

And you know what?
You were... You were right.

I... I really... I did, I thought
that I could come home

for a couple of days and like, uh...
I could fix everything.

It was my fault too.

I should've
told you what I was going through.

For a while now, I haven't been
sure what my place is,

if I really belong anywhere.

I thought working would make me
feel valued.

I know, I know.

But it's not just that.

I've been...

restless.

Okay.

And...

I met with Doctor Huang
the other day.

She said I won't be able
to have a baby.

Hey.

I wanted to build a family with you.

But you... You have.

You have built a family... with me.

What are you doing here?
This is a restricted area.

Get out of here.
- Uh... I'm looking for Ulf Maston.

I'm Ulf Maston. Who are you?

I'm FBI. I need to talk to you
about Project Quill.

Project Quill? Oh, yeah, yeah,
he called. Yeah, follow me.

So, this is Project Quill.

Or what's left of it. It was a,
um, psychobiology incubator.

The goal was cross pollination.
Information sharing,

talking across projects
and disciplines.

We were originally funded
to look into PTSD.

How to help soldiers returning
from Vietnam,

and later other conflicts,
handle trauma.

It was becoming a big problem.

Now, if you could take the lid off
the, uh, the old rat cage there.

Okay, little fella.

There we go.

Oh, that shouldn't hurl: at all.
Oh, there you go.

Okay, if you could just
hold on to him.

Yeah.
- Thank you.

Right, follow me.

So, how do the rats figure in?

Well, it turns out that the body
has

a very specific bio-chemical
response to stress.

You know, different subjects
respond differently

when subjected to trauma.

These are your test subjects?
- Yeah, as they were during Quill.

You know, rats are often vilified
as disease-spreading monsters,

but they're very intelligent,
social creatures.

Did you know they live
in communities?

- Yeah.

A rat will often take care
of a member of their group

if it becomes injured or sick.

They protect each other?
Well, they can.

And... And individual rats respond
differently to stress and trauma,

just like people. See, I've been
working for years

to distill which hormone leads
to the most resilient response.

Why are some people more affected
in the face of stress?

Why do some fall apart?

You know... See, if I could bottle
the right chemical combination,

just imagine what a...
An amazing boon that would be.

Not just for soldiers returning home
from war, but for society.

Did you have any luck with the rats?
- I bred these rats myself.

They come as near as possible
to what seem to be

the most resilient combination
of various stress chemicals.

Do... Does it work?

Not as I predicted, as often
happens in science.

Here.

There we go. Ooh.

But it's interesting.

Whoa!

So, the serum works, but not
the way I thought it would.

These rats can withstand stress.

You know. they have fewer
heart attacks,

better odds of survival in a fight,
but... they become more aggressive.

Violent. Murderous, even,
towards their fellow rodents.

This is Special Agent Isaac.
Professor Maston.

It was never my intention.

Project Quill lost
its funding decades ago.

Most of us scattered.

Did you ever experiment on people?
- Oh, no, no.

What you'd have to put someone
through... Oh.

No, there are prohibitions on,
uh, on that sort of thing.

But do you think anyone
might've tried?

I mean, to continue the experiments
on people?

Uh, many years ago,
I had a collaborator,

a behavioral psychologist.

Push the envelope on
that sort of thing.

But that was a problem
right away.

No, no, Lu-Fang didn't last long
at Quill.

Who?
- Lu-Fang Shen. Brilliant theorist.

Shen was looking for a very specific
profile.

You had what he was looking for.

Come on.
