My name is brian finch.

I was your average
28-year-old screwup

Until I took a pill called nzt.

Suddenly I had access
to every brain cell.

And that's why
the fbi hired me.

My name's brian finch,

This is rebecca harris,

And we're with the fbi.

God, that sounds cool.

There's just one problem.

Nzt will kill you,

Unless you have this shot.

Now you can have as much nzt as
you want with no side effects.

My name's sands.

You belong to mr. Morra now,
which means

You belong to me.

We know quite a lot about nzt.

Fbi's playing catch-up.

I want you to find out
exactly what they know

And bring it to me.

Brian:
I made a copy of this file.

I can't tell you
exactly how I got it.

But I do think you should
know what's inside.

The fbi knew your father
was on nzt before he died.

Rebecca, they've
known since

Before you started
working at the cjc.

Rebecca:
Where did you get this?

Naz's office.

You stole it?

They're giving me
that drug every day.

Naz showed me the files
on the fbi studies.

Yeah, but your dad
wasn't part of the fbi trials.

They were also
tracking civilians

Who they thought
might be using nzt.

Why didn't naz tell me this?

Why are you telling me this when
I could send you to jail for it?

I thought you'd want to know.

I do.

I want to know
why my boss has a file

On my murdered father
and didn't tell me.

I want to know
what happened to him,

I want to know what the fbi
had to do with it.

I'll help you.

Rebecca:
We can't let anyone know

What we're doing.

It doesn't say who
was following your dad

Or how long the fbi
was tracking him.

Just some background on him.

And this one note.

"upper east side nzt cluster."

My dad was a painter.

He was broke his whole life.

There was nothing
upper east side about him.

Well, no, he went
to rehab there.

The, uh... New springs
recovery center.

That place costs
thousands of dollars a week!

Celebrities go there.

He couldn't afford that.

Well, he was there.

I mean, it says he was
discharged September 2013.

And the fbi thinks he got his
nzt from the upper east side.

Might be worth checking out.
Boyle's always had my back.

I don't want
to drag him into this.

I'll tell him I'm
running something down

For my old boss in criminal.

Brian:
What about mike and ike?

Rebecca:
I'll tell them you're
working on something for me.

You need to be able to come
and go for a few days.

Brian:
All right.

That's it?

We're locked and loaded?

Brian?

Yeah?
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure I just made you
an accessory to a crime.

You don't have to thank me.

Good morning.
Morning.
Morning--

Rebecca, could I see you
in my office, please?

Sure.

I assume you're familiar
with the concept of a red team?

You mean, like a war game?

The pentagon stages
inter-agency exercises

To test our readiness
for different threat scenarios.

This time
they're looking at

What could happen in the wake
of a cyberattack on the economy.

A blue team
represents the u.S.

And its interests
from washington.

A red team play the enemy,
based here in new york.

I will be working
with ead paulson

To head up that red team.

Sounds like quite an honor.

Yeah, it is.
It's also quite an undertaking.

Which is why they've
asked me to select

An exceptional agent
to participate this time.

What do you say?

That's very flattering.

Um...

I have a brutal
case load right now.

So maybe boyle could help you.

I chose you.

Director avery played
on three different red teams

When he was coming up.

This is how careers are made.

Rebecca:
Are you kidding me?

She smiled at me
like we were sealing

Some kind of pact
or something.

That woman is not my mentor.

No, but she thinks she is.

And you got to kind of let her.

I mean, you know you have
to do this, right?

It's three days of sitting
right beside naz.

That's true,
but on the bright side,

It does keep her busy.

And plus, you get to be
the bad guys, right?

I mean, you're kind of mad

At the whole military-industrial
thing right now.

So burn it all to the ground.

Anarchy in the streets.

You make yourself the barbarian
queen of new york city.

And I'll go to the rehab center
and see what I can find

About your dad.
Fine.

Just... Don't get caught
breaking in there.

I'm not gonna break in.

Hi, my name is mike ikerson,
and I'm an addict.

Welcome to new springs.

So, tell me
have you been...

Brian:
Suffice it to say,
mike ikerson has issues.

I know, they always look so...

Hi, everybody.
My name's mike.

A lot of issues.

I'm, uh, happy to be here.

I do think he made
some breakthroughs

In group therapy, though.

Unfortunately, there was only

So much time for introspection.

Ah, thank you.

And I got myself in front
of those files eventually.

After I made my way
through all of them,

Mike ikerson was ready
to face the world a sober man.

All right, thanks a lot!

I feel a lot better.

(ears ringing)

Woman (distorted):
Sir, are you okay?

Sir?

It turns out there are
plenty of exciting reasons

For sudden hearing
and vision changes--

Brain tumors.

Strokes... Fun stuff.

Rebecca:
Hey.

Hey.

Learn anything?

Not a ton.

I mean, your dad made it
all the way through treatment.

With flying colors,

According to his file.

My dad was good
at charming therapists.

Is that it?

Uh, there was one thing.

Your dad had
this notation in his file.

It said:
"weekly consult with a.E."

I read the files of
everyone who was there

At the same time as him.

There were only four people
who had that notation.

Any idea what that means?

Well, I mean, they're all
connected to your dad somehow.

So if we could track one of them
down, maybe they know something.

(distorted):
Well, give me the names.

I have to digest

This enormous thing by tomorrow,
but maybe I can help.

(ears ringing)

Brian?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Uh...

Think I have bad sinuses
or something.

Probably coming down
with a cold.

You should go home.

Oh, thank you for this.

And for doing this.

All of it.

Bad sinuses?
Come on, man.

You don't need the internet
to know what's up with you.

When you stole those files
from naz's office,

You remember that video
of the government nzt studies?

Day 11 for preliminary

Human trials for nzt-48.

In the last 24 hours,
four patients

Describe episodes
of metamorphopsia

And concurrent aphasia.

Yeah, she's talking
about distorted vision.

Difficulty understanding speech.

You're having
nzt side effects, buddy.

Your immunity shot's
wearing off.

Where's that booster shot
sands promised you

For committing treason?

I was wondering how long
it take you to get in touch.

How are you feeling, brian?

I need that shot.

See any white flashes lately?

Speech not sounding quite right?

Why would you want me
to have side effects?

We want to get you
in the right frame of mind.

You see, the senator
has a job for you.

It's rebecca harris.

I told mr. Morra that you
were growing close to her.

We're concerned
it's a distraction.

What do you care?

As long as I do what you say,
what do you care?

There's also
the issue of her father.

She has the potential

To be uniquely motivated

To investigate nzt.

We'd prefer she didn't.

We want her gone.

(laughs)

I'm not telling you
to murder her, mate.

(exhales)

Just get her away from you.

If agent harris were
to be found in possession

Of those files
from naz's office,

I'd imagine
that would do the trick.

So, you want me to frame her?

That would get her
kicked out of the fbi.

She'd go to jail.

That's the idea.

No.

I'm not doing that ever.

So, you're gonna have
to think of something else.

You're thinking again, brian?

As always the only way

Is the way we prescribe.

You feel some loyalty
to this woman.

That's fine for now.

In a day, two days?

When it feels like
your brain is on fire?

You'll be willing to skin

Rebecca harris alive
for that shot.

Let's not have it
come to that, hey?

Things are not
as they should be.

Over the past week, subjects
have complained

About memory loss,

Extreme paranoia...

Get them out of me!

We see signs of rapid aging

And encroaching psychosis.

Attempts to discontinue nzt use

Sent one patient
into a withdrawal

So severe that
we currently have him

In a medically induced coma.

I found your microchip!

It's unclear at present
what's more dangerous--

Providing the pills

Or withholding them.

Problem?

Brian: If I take that pill,
I get side effects.

But if I want to be
smart enough

To figure out
how to stop the side effects,

I have to take the pill.

Yeah, there's a problem.

¶ now you're gonna die. ¶

2nd brian: Aren't you supposed
to be finding out

What happened
to her dad?

Yeah, I'll get to that.

I'm in a little bit
of a situation at the moment.

I noticed.

Well, let's run your options.

I could figure out
how to make

Whatever's in that shot
that senator morra gave me.

Yeah, but...

It took him months and millions
of dollars to do that.

Doesn't work on
our timeline.

I could find someone else
who has the shot.

Okay, so who?

If the government knew how to
make it, they wouldn't need you.

What about
whoever invented nzt?

Do you know who that is?

Doubt it, 'cause if you know it,
I know it.

And I don't know it.

Okay, what if I just
stop taking nzt?

Just walk away, quit.

Sure.

Then the government
throws you in jail

For violating your
agreement with them.

If the withdrawal
doesn't kill you first.

Devil's advocate?

What if you do
what sands wants?

You mean throw rebecca
under the bus?

Not an option.

Okay, so what, then?

Die a slow and mind-bendingly
terrible death?

Really not an option.

Okay. What if I go
straight to senator morra?

Maybe he and I can
work something out

That doesn't mean
sending rebecca to jail.

It's risky.

Every time you go around
sands, bad things happen.

Worse than a slow,
mind-bendingly terrible death?

(sighs heavily)

How do you even get close
to someone like senator morra?

Brian:
It's not easy to get to him,

But it might be possible
to talk to people close to him.

Hi there.
So I have footage

Of senator morra in bed
with the majority leader's wife.

A third party jumps
in there too after a while.

Not sure who
that is yet.

I was gonna put it
on the market.

Unless somebody here wants
to make a pre-emptive bid?

Wait for it.

Any minute now.

(screaming)

(people scream)

Ha-ha! It's a screamer!

Got you!

So no, I didn't have video of

Eddie morra having a threesome.

But by the time
I left his offices,

I had something almost as good:

A cell phone belonging to the
director of his field office,

Whose son's birthday, I saw
on her calendar, is April 10.

Mr. Morra, it's brian finch.

It's urgent that we speak.
Just you and me. Please.

(distorted ringing)

(distorted siren wailing)

Whoa.

Subject 12 complains
of time displacement.

Brian:
Text from edward morra.

That was
the only response I got.

All I could do was wait.

(sighs)

Welcome to the red team.

We are a group of

Chinese-sponsored saboteurs

With a mandate
to destroy the u.S. Economy,

And we've got the first move.

Anyone?

Are you really gonna
make me call on someone?

Rebecca harris,

Who works with me here
at the cjc in new york--

She had some interesting
thoughts during prep.

Paulson:
Is that true, agent harris?

If the question is:
How do we destroy the economy

With the resources we've got,

We can't.

Anyone else?

In the current conditions,

We have enough manpower
to launch one sabotage op,

If we aren't too ambitious.

We need to create
more resources.

We need protestors and looters.

We need chaos.

We can use social
media to spread rumors

That cops are
cracking down.

We would need an image that
would galvanize people,

So I say we stage a photo
of a cop in riot gear

Shooting a
community leader.

And how do we stage that?

However we have to, even if
we have to shoot someone.

Your, um, protégé comes to play.

Brian: Still waiting
to hear something,

Anything, from senator morra.

I mean, he can't even text me?

What the...
Rebecca: Brian?

Hey.

Are you feeling okay?

What?

Yeah, I just had some hot tea.
It's for my sinuses.

Oh, hey, how'd
it go today?

Conquering new york and whatnot.

Are you ruling from atop
a pile of human skulls?

Not yet.

I did bond with naz though.

At least she thinks we bonded.

Well, let her.

She has to think
things are normal.

Well, things are
anything but normal.

Speaking of which,
I did some research today.

That's my father.
Yeah.

I tracked down those people
from your dad's rehab group.

All of them were
at absolute bottom

When they went into treatment
at new springs.

Your dad had
just been arrested.

Marcus tate had
his third dui.

Susan epstein's own daughter

Left her on the sidewalk
outside of an e.R.

But the moment
they got out,

(snaps fingers)
things changed.

Your father started
painting again.

Marcus tate was a contractor
before he was an addict.

After he got out of rehab,

He rebuilt his family's house
from the ground up.

He built that by himself?
Mm-hmm.

Jeremy dyer-- he was awarded
four patents in the first

Six months
he got clean.

He sold one for $11 million.

I mean, everyone who was
at that weekly consult

With a.E. In rehab turned
their lives around completely.

You think they were all on nzt.
Mm-hmm.

These five people were
the only ones at new springs

Who turned their lives
around like that.

But they did have
one other thing in common.

They all went missing?

Gone without a trace.

The only one I could actually
account for is your dad,

And that's just because

He was...

He turned up
in the east river.
Mm-hmm.

They all disappeared
within a month of each other?

Mm-hmm.

613 lexington avenue?

Yeah, so I went to see

The families of everyone here.

I dug through
anything they had saved--

Cell phones,
address books, calendars.

After their time
at new springs,

They all went their
separate ways.

Except, once a week, they
all met at that address.

What's there?

I'll show you.

Tv narrator: The story of ubient
is not just a story

Of pharmaceutical manufacturing,

It's the story of
a small group of people

Who took their fascination
with unlocking the potential

Of the human brain
to the world stage.

Our passion
for neuropharmacology

Informs every decision
that we make, from finding...

So my dad and
all the others--

They were taking nzt,
and once a week,

They went to an office
for a company

That made neuroenhancers?

Do you think they
were studying nzt?

What if they're the ones
who invented it?

We need to figure
out who "a.E." is.

(sighs)

Brian:
Yeah, no kidding.

If that company knows
about nzt,

Then they might know
what happened to rebecca's dad,

And they might know how to stop
these side effects, too.

Senator morra's gone silent.

So if anyone's gonna help me,
it's these guys.

Brian:
Side effects may include...

Memory loss, extreme paranoia,

Rapid aging,
encroaching psychosis.

"andrew epperly."

I did a lot of digging around
last night.

There are plenty of people
with the initials a.E.

That work at ubient,
but I think this is our guy.

Neurochemist?
Harvard, mit.

His name is on
all these research papers--

Neurochemical regulation
of sleep,

Chemical synapse manipulation.

This one is on the human trials
he ran at ubient

With drugs on dementia.

Wait, whoa.
Human trials?

What if your dad
and those patients

Were part of some
kind of trial?

You know, for nzt.

I mean, if andrew epperly
was running them,

Maybe that's why he went
to see them at new springs.

It's too bad we can't ask him.

He's dead.

He died in
a boating accident

Off the coast of maine
last year.

Well, you know...

(sighs)

...Even if he was running
some kind of trial,

He wouldn't have been
able to do it by himself.

There's got to be someone else
at ubient that knows something.

Let me know what you find out.

I've got to go.
Yeah.

Boyle:
Hey, finch.

Finch.

Hey.

Boyle, what's up, man?

Hey, well, you know,
I'm covering a couple

Of rebecca's cases
while she's out,

Mm-hmm.
And I'm hitting
a little bit

(distorted): Of a wall on
this moldovan bank fraud.

Can you take a look
at these transactions,

See if they make
any sense to you?

Uh, yeah, of course.

I'm actually really glad
you asked.

I'll get right on that.

Thanks.

What?

Do I have something on my face?

(quietly):
No.

(echoing):
You okay?

Wilson: Extreme paranoia
and encroaching psychosis.

Yeah. Sorry.

(chuckles):
I'm... Fine.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. All right.

Anyway, um...
Thanks for the help.

Mm-hmm.

Hi. I need to speak
to someone important.

I'm sorry, sir.
Do you have an appointment?

No, I don't, but just tell
them I'm here to speak about

Andrew epperly's
nzt trials.

Wow. You guys really do
look important.

Now, I'm sure
you're all very busy

Running ubient pharmaceutical,
so let's save us all some time.

I know your company
was researching nzt.

Sir, we have never heard

Of nzt.

(chuckles)

If that was true, I wouldn't
have made it past reception.

Now, I know andrew epperly
was conducting human trials.

Man: Andrew epperly
is not an employee

Of ubient pharmaceutical.

While he was an employee
of ubient pharmaceutical.

I need to see
his research,

Specifically anything on

Counteracting the side effects
of nzt.

(clears throat)

And I need any
records you have

Of the trial participants,
specifically

Conrad harris.

Give me those things,
and I don't

Go to the press
with this.

Sir, there was no trial of
any drug called nzt at ubient.

Andrew epperly

Enjoyed a tremendous degree

Of autonomy while
he worked here.

(echoing):
Which, I should add,

He no longer does.

(distorted):
Dr. Epperly

Tragically passed away
last year.

Man (distorted):
I'm sorry.

We can't help you.

(distorted voices continue)

(groans)

Are you all right?

I take it you've all read
the blue team's response

To our opening salvo.

Or, should I say, agent harris'.

The, um,
protesters are now

Up against around-the-clock
nypd patrols

And a citywide curfew.

If we organize the protesters,

That might mean more.

That's easier said than done,
of course, but I...

(cell phone buzzes)

Agent harris?

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Brian:
They know, rebecca.

I was in there
with the top people,

And they were pretending
not to know what nzt is.

They were saying that epperly
doesn't work there anymore,

That there never was
any research,

And he's dead now.

Brian, slow down.

Look, they clearly
don't want anyone

To make any association
between ubient and nzt.

I think they might have done
something to epperly

And, who knows, maybe all
of those research patients.

But I know the research
is in there.

I just got to get back inside
and find the records.

Are you sure?

You sound strange?

I'm fine.

(bell rings)

(cell phone chimes)

What the hell?

Sorry?

Wh-what's going on?

What am I doing here?

You wanted to meet.

Or so you texted.

Brian:
I texted senator morra.

So here we are.

You were just telling me
you haven't done what I asked,

Regarding agent harris.

No.

No, I haven't.

I can't. I can't do that.

There must be some other
way that doesn't...

Mean ruining her life.

Excuse me.

It's only gonna get worse.

It'll be tomorrow's pill
or the next one,

But you keep
going on like this,

One of these days,
brian finch is going away,

And he's never coming back.

It's time to think
about you now.

Rebecca can't save you, brian.

Only you can.

Where the hell
did you go yesterday?

You hung up on me, you didn't
answer your phone all night.

What...?

(groans)

What's going on?

I had a rough night.

Are you sick?

I don't know,
I-I just feel weird.

I may need
to stop taking nzt.

I'm gonna make you
a doctor's appointment.

No, no, no, no, no.

Yes.

Brian: As soon as I get called
into that doctor's office,

It's game over.

The fbi is gonna know
I'm not really immune.

I'll go to jail.

What?

I have to figure out
where that note came from.

If epperly's alive,

He might have the enzyme
to reverse the side effects.

(elevator dings)
he might know what happened
to rebecca's dad.

I need nzt for this.

Something wrong?

No.

It's regulation nzt pill.

Brian: This pill
is the best shot I have

At remembering
where this came from.

And hopefully it doesn't plunge
me into permanent psychosis.

(car honks)

So sorry you're going
through this. Thank you.

That woman from ubient.

She wrote the note.

Oh, hey, I was just
coming to find you.

What the hell?

What's the matter with you?

Sorry, man, I'm just
a little bit jumpy.

By the blue team's own estimate,

Our uprising will be crushed
within a matter of hours.

What if we distract them?

And how do you propose
distracting

The entire u.S. Military?

Right.

Plan c.

During the cold war,
the fbi was rumored to keep

A list of names of people
that were to be rounded up

In the event of a
crisis like this.

Politicians, artists,
uh, even foreign diplomats.

Anyone who could
be labeled subversive.

What if we leak a list
of names like this,

With millions of people on it?

We could turn half the country
against the government.

And foreign countries
would mobilize

To protect their
diplomats.

A multifront conflict.

Agent harris,

Remind me to never get
on your bad side.

Karen: I will never admit
to having this conversation.

You need to know that.

Andrew epperly came
to me a while back.

He said needed funds

For some study that
would change everything.

He didn't give
me any details.

I gave him the money.

I didn't ask
any questions.

Okay, and that was
an nzt study?

We didn't know
about it until...

Until after the first
test subject disappeared.

Andrew was panicked,
we panicked.

W-we destroyed
all the research

Right before andrew
disappeared.

W-w... Why do you think
epperly's still alive?

About six months
after he died,

I got a letter at home.

No postmark, no
return address.

It just said, "you're
not guilty of anything.

I am."

I think he faked his
own death, disappeared,

So he could get away
from everything.

Did he know how to stop
the side effects?

I don't know.

If you can find andrew,
maybe he can help you.

Good luck.
God.

Brian: Do you really have
the time to find a guy

Who doesn't want
to be found?

I don't have a choice!

Rebecca.

If it's you or her?

Personally,
I'm a fan of you.

I'm going to find epperly.

If he's really alive,
he's the key to everything.

Naz: Word is
out about you.

Your countermeasure made it
all the way up the ladder.

To the director.

Wow, I mean...

How?

Apparently, director avery
decided to participate

In the exercise this year,
return to his roots.

He was playing
for the blue team.

I didn't realize...

I... I wouldn't have said all
of those things about plan c.

Well, he called me directly,

Said he loved your
countermeasure

And your ability to think
outside of the box.

And he wants to meet you.

Tomorrow.

Oh, wow.

But that's sudden, I'm...

(cell phone buzzes)

Will you excuse me
just a moment?

Where are you?

I got a text from boyle
that you were acting weird.

You have to be
a little smoother.

Brian: You need to go see
andrew epperly.

I'm sending you his address.

Epperly's dead.

Brian, why did you leave

Your doctor's appointment
this morning?

Epperly faked his death.

He's in connecticut.

He's living under the name

Daniel kennedy.

We can drive up there tonight.

I can't go.

I'm sick or something.

Okay, I'm coming to get you.

If-if there's something
wrong, we need to...

Rebecca, go to epperly.

Find out about your dad.

Ask him for anything he knows,

Everything he knows, about nzt,

Everything about
the side effects of nzt,

If there's a way
to reverse them.

Are you having side effects?

(brian groans)

Is that what's going on?

Just go, okay?

Just please stay on the phone.

I'll find you, and we can
figure this out.

(groans)

Bri...

(cell phone chimes)

Brian: This is brian,
leave a message.

Naz:
Rebecca.

Is everything okay?

Is there any way we can
postpone this meeting?

It's very sudden.

Rebecca, when the director
of the fbi wants to meet you,

You meet the director.

Don't worry, I'll have
jordan find you a train.

Great.

I just need to go home
and pack a bag then.

Brian?

Where the hell are you?

Yes, this is agent rebecca
harris from the cjc in new york.

I'm supposed to meet with
the director in the morning,

But... Unfortunately
something has come up.

¶ ¶

Things are not
as they should be.

Hey!

Wilson: Subjects have complained
about memory loss,

Extreme paranoia.

Brian's not safe.

Oh!

Watch it, man!

¶ ¶

Brian, they're
trying to kill you.

(grunts)

(door opens)

Who the hell are you?

My name is rebecca harris.

And if I were you, I wouldn't
shoot a federal agent.

You're conrad's daughter.

We almost lost you there, brian.

Don't worry.

You're gonna be just fine.

Take it slow.

Been through a lot.

Hit your head pretty good,

But you're gonna be okay
once the shot kicks in.

No, no, no, no.

Brian, it's okay.

It's over.

I'm not gonna frame rebecca.

I know.

I never thought you would.

What?

I didn't think you'd do it.

I just needed to know
what your limits are.

If you're somebody who just
takes orders like sands,

Or if you're somebody who has...

Character.

So, what?

That was some kind of a test?

I could've died.

I would never
let that happen to you.

And what about her rebecca?

Uh, her dad was taking nzt.

She's not gonna
just let that go.

I'm not worried about rebecca.

This is about you, brian.

About whether you're
just an employee

Or you're somebody

Who can be a partner.

A partner?

You threatened my family.

You threatened my friends.

All you've ever seen
is the ugly side of what we do.

But there's so much more, brian.

There's rice?

This rice contains
a complete nutritional profile.

Everything the human body needs.

It can grow
in the harshest environments.

Places we need it
the most.

With a little more research,
this rice...

Could feed the entire world.

I don't understand.

Why can't you
tell anyone about it?

I mean, if that's true,

Why aren't you shouting
it from the rooftops?

Because people won't want it.

I make
an announcement.

Lobbyists
bring it to action.

People rave over gmo's
and it's buried.

Science can't change
the world on its own.

The world needs
to be willing to change.

And it takes leaders.

Leaders who are willing

To chip away at the obstacles,

Cut through the noise

And play the game.

And win the game.

And that's you?

I think so.

With people like you
helping me,

I think so.

I mean what I say
about wanting a partner.

Five nzt pills.

Those weren't just hollow words.

What are those for?

Whatever you want.

Think of it
as discretionary funds.

A token of my...

Trust in your judgment.

I need you to tell me
everything you know about nzt.

The side effects,
how to reverse them.

I don't know of any way.

You studied it.

You ran trials.

You gave it to my father.

To other patients.

Did the nzt side effects
kill them?

Is that what happened?

It's not like that.

They were side effects, yes.

But I didn't know anything
about them at the time.

And the nzt helped them, too.

I was trying to help people.

My father's dead.

I know that.

But the nzt did not kill him.

Then what happened?

Did you kill him?

Did you kill
all the other patients

To cover your tracks?
No.

Your father,
all of them,

They weren't just...

Test subjects.

They were my patients.

The nzt wasn't like the other
stuff they'd been taking.

It gave them a chance
to get back on track.

So, you invented nzt
to give addicts

A chance to pull
their lives together?

No, I didn't invent nzt.

My father was

In the early stages
of alzheimer's

When I got an e-mail.

I have no idea who sent it.

But the message

Was a chemical formula

For a nootropic compound.

I had never seen
anything like it.

And I thought it could
help my father.

But I couldn't wait for the fda.

So, ubient agreed to it?

They didn't know.

When did they find out?

Ubient didn't know anything

About the study
until several of the patients

Had already disappeared.

What happened to all of them?

I don't know.

Your dad

Was one of the success stories.

He was doing well.

But I suspected he'd
started sharing his nzt.

It was popping up
all over the city.

I was worried he'd
get himself into trouble.

So I cut him off.

So nzt was all over the city.

Where did it go?

That's the question.

One minute it
was everywhere.

And then it
started to disappear.

And then the people who had it
started to disappear.

People from the trial.

Your dad.

It was like...
Some kind of purge.

Someone was
clamping down on nzt.

Who was that?

I don't know.

Hey.

You're okay.

Yeah, sorry about that.

I just wasn't feeling myself.

You didn't answer me
yesterday.

Are you having
side effects from nzt?

You know, I thought I was.

But I feel great today.

And that's not really
how side effects work, right?

So, um, I'm sorry
I worried you.

Worried is an understatement.

I went to see
andrew epperly last night.

Yeah, what happened?

He doesn't know of any antidote.

What about your dad?

He did give my dad nzt.

All the patients, actually.

But I don't think
he killed them.

I think
it was somebody else.

(phone chiming)

Someone with resources.

And I think
I'm about to be fired.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

Close the door
and sit down, please.

I got a call
from the director's office.

You canceled your meeting.

I'm sorry.

I just--

How long
have you known?

About your father, the file.

You know, I couldn't
put my finger on it at first.

But there was something
about your attitude.

A shift.

And then you blew off
the meeting with the director.

You don't do that, unless you
no longer want a career here.

So I tried to think
of why you would do that.

And there was really
only one good explanation.

Nzt is going to change
the entire world, rebecca.

This division has
to stay in front of it.

And that's why I'm here?

It's not that simple.

I got this job a month
after my father died.

You must've made the connection.

Sure, I did.

I read the file
on conrad harris,

And I saw that he had a daughter
that was working criminal

Right here in new york,
so I looked into her

And I saw an agent
who was inexperienced,

But smart,
resourceful, tenacious.

Someone who could help us
with nzt.

Someone
who would want to.

And I planned
on showing you the file.

That's easy to say now.

Okay, you're right.

You don't have to believe me.

That is entirely up to you.

But you need the bureau's
highest level of clearance

To read the full nzt records.

Legally, that is.

And to get that kind of
clearance, you need to advance.

And to advance,
you need people to notice you.

And that's why I put you
on the red team.

And I covered for you
with the director.

I told him it was
a misunderstanding, my fault.

I bought you 48 hours.

Thank you.

Was it finch?

No.

(quietly):
Would you tell me if it was?

(knocking)
