Previously on "Quantico"...

ENGIN is an avionic startup.

The government just signed a billion-dollar

contract with them this morning.

I have feelings for you.

Where are you going?

Goodbye, Shelby.

You ruined the operation.

And you ruined my only chance

to get my sister out of who knows where.

How many people die

if the Collaborators reach their endgame?

- We don't know what their endgame is! - Exactly.

Now I will, because I'm on the inside.

We transition tomorrow.

Welcome to the team.

I'm not resigning because I believe I did anything wrong.

As no vice president has yet been confirmed,

Speaker of the House Henry Roarke

will take the oath of that office.

It's only a matter of time

before someone sends the FBI

to arrest her and us for treason.

♪

Cecilia: Mr. President, you've been in office

for less than a week, and during that time,

you've signed more executive orders

than any other administration in history.

Why?

Well, we have a great deal of work to do.

President Haas left us

with a weak and fractured nation.

And it will take sweeping changes

to stem this tide.

But my administration is up to the task.

Let's talk about the first order...

Somewhat controversial.

The "so-called" Muslim registry.

And what's controversial about keeping this country safe?

What exactly is your plan for implementation?

Since you brought it before the House a month ago,

its critics have only grown more vociferous.

And its supporters, as well.

And I would remind you that it passed

before the President vetoed it.

What we need to do, Cecilia,

is clear out the corrupt establishment.

And I brought in individuals like, uh...

Alice Winter, the former CEO of Greypool,

to be a part of my national security team.

And she's putting together a list of would-be registrants

as we speak.

So, when the Congress...

passes the registry officially,

we can hit the ground running.

Look, it's the first step in a long road.

Really, I'm just getting started.

You've also passed orders to strengthen the military,

increase border security,

and you've asked Defense Secretary Howell

to draft a memo

on how to defeat the Islamic Front.

Can you talk more about that?

We have never been more vulnerable in this country

than we are today.

We've suffered significant intelligence failures,

both foreign and domestic,

under the Haas administration.

The CIA failed to prevent

an Islamic Front attack at the G20.

And just a few days ago, he FBI suffered an attack...

in their own backyard.

You have to stop calling me.

- And you have to get me out of here. - Not possible.

The FBI is doing random sweeps on The Farm

looking for you.

You poke your head up for air,

you'll be thrown in a hole so deep,

no one will find you.

How will you govern differently from President Haas?

President Haas didn't listen to the people.

I do. It's that simple.

And what are the people saying to you now?

They're saying, "Protect us.

Make us feel safe."

For too long,

we've put our faith in corrupt leaders

and a rigged system.

So, how do I fix this?

Well, I have a proposal,

and I'm gonna tell it to you, Cecilia, first,

right here and now.

Really? I'm flattered.

I propose that we follow

the lead of our founding fathers

and amend the heart, mind, and soul of our country.

Are you talking about calling a Constitutional convention?

Yes, I am.

For the second time in this nation's history.

It's time to take our system back,

and be the America I know we can be.

And it will require change,

change today that will lead us to a greater tomorrow.

Thank you, Mr. President.

No. Thank you, Cecilia.

Hey!

Hey, listen up!

The cache disappeared.

Disappeared?

It's gone. All of it.

Been taken offline, I assume by Roarke.

Ryan: And you're telling us because...

you think we're just gonna run in to that bunker

and help you?

I know things have been fractured between us...

[Laughs] Oh, yeah.

Is that what you call cutting out your entire team

and trying to do the job yourself?

How'd that work out? Okay.

Raina?

This team robbed me of a chance to save my sister.

And y-you didn't trust me then.

How can I help you now?

Ra...

It's gone?

- All the surveillance information? - Owen: All of it.

What, does that mean that it's over?

It means they got whatever they needed

for the last part of their plan.

And we have no idea what that is.

Roarke: No. Well, thank you.

Thank you.

Nice to see you. Pleasure.

Not bad for a first sit-down,

- don't you think? - It's like you've been

planning for it for years, Mr. President.

Well...

Why did you ask me to come here?

Well, just to let you know you'd be rewarded

for all the hard work you've done.

Due to all your help in the past few weeks,

I'm finally able to reshape our intelligence institutions.

And, as someone who's done time in both,

I think the country could benefit

from your insight and your expertise in that reshaping.

The interview's over, Mr. President.

You can speak directly.

What do you want me to do?

For your own safety,

I think it's best you stay insulated from the how,

- as long as you know the when. - And?

Well, I'll just say this...

I wouldn't leave town in the next couple of days.

[Chuckles softly]

Shelby: It has been hours. Where is she?

SDRs take time.

Especially when you might be watched by the man who carries

the full weight of the United States government

behind you.

She's... She's being thorough.

Are we putting her in danger by asking her to come here?

We need her.

[Door opens]

Oh, thank God you're here.

Hey. You lost your tails?

About an hour ago.

But I still changed cars

one more time outside of Ewell.

We couldn't rally the troops?

Okay. What's going on there?

The cache is gone, as if it was never there.

Any piece of intel, data, pattern, state secrets...

Because whatever they're about to do

- is ready to go? - Exactly.

Three of us against who knows how many

for the last stand?

Not sure I like those odds.

Owen: She's right. We need help.

Then we get help.

If we can't count on Raina and Ryan,

we find friends that we can count on.

And I was just hours away from a trip to Mexico.

And if anybody I worked with knew I was here,

I would've lost the job I should have lost months ago.

I've just been waiting by the phone.

So this is the bunker?

Only using 24% of the surface space.

Power move.

Miranda Shaw.

We've not formally met.

No.

But I know a lot about you.

Most of it wrong.

Well, I don't know how I feel about being here.

[Sighs]

They gave me no choice.

[Chuckles] I know.

To be honest,

I had the first good night's sleep

in about 30 years.

I just had to turn off the television.

Miranda: All right, Alex, why are we here?

And how much trouble are we gonna get into?

Because you know I can't get into trouble.

We're already in trouble, Miranda.

With the cache gone,

it's most likely the first attack will be today.

Will: D-Day.

That was so much fun the first time.

I've already almost died twice this year.

I'm not dying today.

How can I help?

Work to see why all of this has been taken offline.

I think the rest of us

could analyze Roarke's executive orders,

to see if they point to a greater plan.

What?

You asked me to help.

I'm helping.

Thank you.

I may have been wrong about you, too.

What are you waiting for? Let's get to work.

♪

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans - -- www.Addic7ed.com --

Raina: We should have stayed at the house.

Ryan: We couldn't. They were doing random sweeps.

Why do you keep staring at them?

Just watching Alex lead the B-team

down yet another blind alley.

You are a bitter, bitter man.

Yeah, I don't see you out there.

I have a real cause.

Y-You just have a wounded heart.

No. Don't get all The Ancient One on me,

I don't know what that is,

It's not Alex going off the road.

It's who Alex went off-roading with.

♪

Alex: 30 executive orders in five days.

And this one freezes financial regulations

until he can approve them.

I mean, what's the endgame here?

Fewer restrictions on banks.

A hedge fund manager wouldn't mind less regulation.

- Yeah, but that doesn't relate to terrorism. - No.

Which means it wasn't part of Roarke's plan.

It's probably just a favor for his friend Christian Kelly.

Will: [Clears throat]

Uh, judging from your collective expressions,

I'm about to interrupt an important conversation.

For that I'm sorry,

but I have an equally important question.

Uh, can you tell me more

about your operation in Cleveland?

You went there because one of the Collaborators

got a piece of the cache, right?

To threaten a judge and start a riot?

Okay, Will, why don't we focus on

finding who deleted the cache first,

and then we can play recent history, okay?

Okay, good.

If he keeps getting hung up on details,

we're gonna be here till next week.

What about this memorandum

committing us to defeat the Islamic Front?

Maybe Roarke wanted to stir up tensions overseas?

Okay, what about... What about that one?

[Cellphone vibrates]

All right. Let's go back to this one.

♪ Call it voyeurism or masochism ♪

♪ I'm always watching you ♪

Roarke's EO on increasing border security...

Any chance the Collaborators

have an interest in exploiting Mexican-American relations?

Will: I-I know, I should be focusing on the cache.

But I was looking into the plane crash

the Collaborators orchestrated,

the one connected to Christian Kelly?

Uh, The avionics technology on the plane...

We already know that.

Kelly profited highly from

the technology company's rise after the crash.

We know that.

But what if the avionics system

has another purpose?

The crash caused avionics stock to rise,

but there are easier ways to make money

than crashing a plane.

Are you saying that the crash wasn't about the profit,

but about the system itself?

The government signed a contract

with the company who made it, ENGIN Industries,

the day after the plane crash.

Two commercial airlines followed suit.

It's being added to all their domestic 737s as we speak.

When I left Roarke's office,

he told me to "not leave town."

Could that be a warning?

Maybe the Collaborators could use the system

to actually take control of a plane.

Or planes.

If they do,

this would be a terrorist attack on a national scale

that we haven't seen since 9/11.

We're done with our time out, if you'll have us back?

Don't ask their permission.

Fine. We're helping.

Good to have you back.

Will: This is the avionics technology,

courtesy of the developers at ENGIN Industries

and their pitiful firewall.

There's a line of code buried in the emergency systems

that could give someone

remote control of the entire plane.

That must be how they're gonna hijack a plane or two.

Yes.

But commercial avionics don't communicate with ground-based systems.

For security purposes,

they can only be accessed on board.

What if you're on board

with, like, a cellphone or a laptop?

Could you access this backdoor that way?

Certainly.

But you'd need a system with exactly the right code.

Peter Theo is one of the biggest tech developers in the world.

His apps are on millions of cellphones.

Theo's biggest app, FundFriend,

- just released an update last week. - On it.

What do you want to bet we're gonna find a line of code

that allows it to control the avionics system?

Did you ever imagine we'd be working together someday

back when you thought I was a bad guy?

Who says you're a good guy?

First, what I don't understand is,

why hide the trigger in an app?

Ryan: Security?

If somebody accessed your phone,

they wouldn't discover it.

Miranda: No, no. Raina's right.

FundFriend is the biggest app to move money.

Why hide a code in an app that's used by...

- 197 million people. - Exactly.

When only a handful of suicide bombers need it?

Unless they're not suicide bombers.

I've been working trusted Company sources and assets.

No one's heard chatter

of any terrorist event of any kind.

So, how do you stage a terrorist event

without terrorists?

Raina: Who says they have to be terrorists?

They framed me without me even being there.

Maybe they're going to use people's phones

without them knowing?

Turn unwitting passengers into hijackers?

They can use the app

to make anyone they want to into a terrorist.

If that's true,

we'd never be able to find every passenger

on a commercial flight today

using FundFriend.

That's... It's impossible.

Excuse me.

Alex: Let's re-look at this.

[Cellphone clicking]

[Rings]

Clay: Now, look, I already called Caleb back.

I told him I'm fine, so no need to worry.

So, can you please stop calling?

Because every time it rings, I want to throw it out the window.

You can put it on silent.

Hmm. I'm waiting on a pizza.

- Are you smoking? - No.

You are. You are smoking!

And it isn't tobacco.

Which is legal in D.C. the last time I checked.

Well, you're not in D.C.

You're at the Hampton Court Motor Lodge

in Springfield, Virginia,

where possession is a misdemeanor.

Are you calling me from 1955?

I'm hanging up.

You already tracked my phone,

and my Sims are arguing in the kitchen.

We need your help

to narrow down the list of targets.

If you were Roarke

and you wanted to frame a passenger

for blowing up a plane,

who would you choose?

Politically, someone I'd want the country

to think is a threat.

Anyone from his registry.

He tried to push it through again.

It's still not popular.

I don't know.

What better way to frighten people into getting on board

than a terrorist attack at the hands of a Muslim?

God, that's what I was afraid of.

Yeah, framing Raina for a mall bombing,

that was a dry run.

This is the main event.

We need you. Your brain.

Come back and help us.

- [Cellphone beeps] - Well...

Yeah, uh, my pizza's here, so bye now.

[Cellphone beeps]

Alex: This is what we know so far.

Roarke plans on hijacking commercial planes,

using unwitting Muslim passengers

carrying Peter Theo's FundFriend app on their phones.

This way, they can hack into the avionics system of the plane

and bring them down.

What we don't know

- is which Muslims are being targeted. - Right.

Miranda: Even if we knew which planes needed to be grounded,

we still need specific names to warn the pilots.

We've got to find out who's already on the registry.

If the perpetrators are on there,

it serves Roarke's policy.

Who's got access?

Alice Winter.

- And I can get it. - Owen: No way.

- She'd kill you. - And get yourself killed?

Look, you can't risk blowing your cover.

Your in with the Collaborators

is our best hope of beating them.

What... What if we fail today?

We need them to still believe you.

Okay, this is not up for discussion.

And I know what I'm doing.

And I don't need your permission.

[Sighs]

All right, fine.

Miranda, Will and I will go to

the FAA Command Center in Herndon.

They'll have the resources to ground these planes

once we identify them.

FAA personnel require

an emergency call-and-response code

to down a plane.

Oh, let me guess...

It's not a code that's given out freely?

The President has it and a couple of others,

but that's it.

Well, Claire's only been out of power for a week.

Shelby, does Clay have any connections

he can still use?

He might,

but I don't think he'll take another call from me.

If I could see him in person,

I might be able to convince him.

You can't leave. Neither can I.

The FBI would grab us on sight.

Miranda: He's right.

They're on the grounds as we speak.

We have exactly zero minutes to waste.

Look, the rest of you can go.

Just not me, Shelby, or you, Raina.

but everyone is safe.

Well, glad I could help.

You want to really help?

Take off those pity pants,

come back to the bunker with me,

and do your job.

Pity pants?

My mom used to say that.

My mom used to say,

"Get your head out of your ass, Clay.

I can't give a speech about gun control at the NRA."

Huh?

I might still be a little bit drunk.

Come back.

Do what you were meant to do.

How is it you know what's best for me?

Oh, it's because I'm smarter than you.

I know more words than you.

I have more emotions than you.

I have them.

I just don't let you know I have them.

♪

I'm having one right now.

It's a complicated one.

It's like 10 at once.

She really left you?

She was gonna leave me anyway.

[Whispers] Don't.

Don't come any closer.

[Exhales sharply]

[Pounding on door]

Man: FBI! Open up!

A spy drinking Scotch?

[Laughing]

- That's a little cliché, Owen. - Yeah.

I know you didn't come here to insult me, did you?

No, I can do that plenty behind your back.

[Laughs]

I came here because of something you said

about doing the right thing in the moment.

You know, I often forget how much faith

the Bureau and the Agency put in us.

They choose us,

they put us through all these tests,

evaluating not just our bodies, our minds,

but our morality,

our decisiveness, our judgment.

I have to stop

trying to make up for my past.

I made choices.

I can't undo them. There's no real penance.

I just have to adapt and move forward.

I see that now.

And I think...

I think that you should see that, too.

If you're talking about my daughter,

about choices I made as a father,

then sure, maybe there's no penance to be had.

But it doesn't mean I stop trying to...

make up for my failures,

stop trying to do better.

I'm not saying you stop trying.

I'm saying you stop hating yourself

when you fail sometimes.

That's how you stay in it.

You have to move on.

[Cellphone vibrates]

What? What's wrong?

- [Knock on door] - Alex: Yep.

You hear the one about the operative who went undercover

inside the most dangerous and powerful conspiracy

in this nation's history?

No, I haven't.

How does it end?

Well, no one's heard it, so I don't know.

[Sighs]

We beat them today.

Yeah.

What about tomorrow?

Or tonight...

when they come for me?

Look.

We're all behind you, Alex.

We're not going anywhere.

You're still sexy when you lie.

Uh, I'm not lying.

This time.

- I'm not. - You're still sexy.

Yeah, well...

[Both laugh]

You know...

you're a great leader, Alex.

You... You see the big picture.

And me? I'm...

I'm a great soldier.

You send me into battle, and I focus on that.

I mean, I...

I get lost in it.

But you, you...

You see everything.

And I did the same thing in our relationship.

Every choice that you made, I felt in the moment,

whereas you...

You were thinking long-term.

I mean, maybe if I wasn't so shortsighted, we Ryan.

Stop.

This is where we are.

This is where we are.

Owen: Alex? Ryan?

They're here. We've been made.

How long do we have?

Man: FBI! Come out! FBI!

We got them.

Special Agent Shaw? What are you doing here?

I'm with them.

I thought there was no such thing as penance.

I felt it in the moment.

Okay, this doesn't have to be a scene.

We will go with you quietly.

I think you're confused.

We're not here to arrest you.

You're not?

You're coming with us.

The President wants to see you.

All of you.

Roarke: Too often, when a President

has to talk to Americans about acts of terrorism,

it's with a heavy heart.

But, today, I stand before you without that heavy heart.

And while the threat of radicals

is never far from our front door,

today, it didn't make it.

There was almost a terrorist attack today.

But it was stopped by a group of FBI and CIA agents

working on an off-book mission

to protect our country from its greatest threat...

Those who hate us for our freedoms.

The world is safer

because of the acts of this group of brave souls.

And while they work in the shadows,

I believe you should know their faces

and applaud them for their heroism.

[Applause]

Now, these are the very same men and women

that helped bring an end to the G20 hostage crisis

last September,

which, recent intelligence revealed,

was not an act of outside force,

but an internal battle between our own agencies.

We live in divided times.

But the time for that divide is over.

Today the FBI and the CIA

worked together to help keep our country safe.

Now, this was your mother's legacy.

And I commend her for blazing this trail...

Seeing that we work stronger together,

instead of against one another.

So, we will not only rebuild

both our intelligence agencies from scratch,

we will combine them to help rebuild

the faith and trust of the American people.

It's time our country unites,

and the Constitutional convention

in 100 days

will be a bold step in that process.

We not only can be safe and free,

we will be.

We are the United States of America,

and we hold our freedoms close.

We protect them.

We must always be the land of opportunity

and the land of peace.

Woman: Mr. President, how long...

Instead of silencing us, he's using us as an example,

to dismantle the FBI and the CIA.

Give himself all the power.

It's from crashing?

Well, he'd have torn down the CIA and the FBI

because we failed.

This was always the plan.

He was covered either way.

We're heroes, we're villains.

He still wins.

He spins our success into his victory.

The perfect politician.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks.

Mm.

Cecilia: President Roarke's proposal

of combining and re-branding the FBI and CIA

will apparently require

a new amendment to the United States Constitution.

This idea has emboldened many delegates

to support the Constitutional convention

Roarke's been calling for.

Though an official vote of state legislatures

is scheduled to commence tomorrow morning,

we have numerous reports

of various states, once resistant,

now showing their full support for a convention.

Among them...

Florida, Texas, Georgia,

Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

And we also have varying reports

that up to 18 more

will announce their intent to participate

well ahead of the required deadline.

This is an unprecedented display of national unity

in a country that just a few weeks ago

was considered by most

to be more divided than it ever had been

under the administration

of former President Claire Haas and Ronald Todd.

I can't watch this.

Unnamed sources do confirm

that the state legislature of Virginia

was going to come out against the convention,

but we've been told that Senator Lewis Baynard

acted as an intermediary

in persuading his home state to agree to take part.

Baynard was singled out and thanked by President Roarke

in a st...

Well, at least we have the answer

as to the role Senator Baynard played in this.

The Collaborators must've called in their favor

from his fake news incident to get Virginia onboard.

Shelby: Will was right.

They were the perfect machine.

Every move they made, every calculated step,

it all fit together and resulted in this...

What it's been about the entire time.

A Constitutional convention is an invitation

to rewrite the law wholesale

and change the face of this country.

And America is welcoming it with open arms.

What are we gonna do about it?

Well, there's no running from this.

That's for sure.

When Roarke exposed us on TV,

you all joined my ranks.

Burned as operatives to every

foreign intelligence service in the world.

None of us are safe anywhere.

Shelby: Including here.

Which is why we fight back. We resist.

No. No, you heard Miranda.

The people want this.

This was a... a feeling

that's been lying dormant in this country.

A dying spark that now has gasoline poured on it,

turning it into a burning flame,

lighting the way towards an America

no one in this room would even recognize.

No. If we resist, then we become the villains.

We can't win that way.

Alex: Owen's right.

We have to be patient.

We have to make Roarke believe that we're on his side.

He's always played the long game.

We never did.

This is our last chance, our only chance.

We have to strike when the time is right.

When is the convention, Clay?

100 days from now.

That's when we attack.

So, who wants to be a terrorist?
