National news network How
may I direct your call?

There's going to be an
explosion this morning

- Excuse me?
- I said,

there will be an explosion this morning.

A bomb.

Oh, Sorry. Did you say a bomb, sir?

- Sir?
- On a bus...

in the city where it all began.

Get my message out.

Message?

What message?

That this is only the beginning.

Until it is brought back under control,

people will die.

Hey! Mornin', JJ. How was your...

weekend?

Yeah?

Homeland security just reported a bomb
threat for an unspecified urban area.

It was phoned into the
national news network

- I'll call you back. When?
- Last half hour.

- They need a threat assessment ASAP.
- Get the team together.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Did you say a bomb, sir?

On a bus...

in the city where it all began.

Get my message out.

Message? What message?

That this is only the beginning.

Until it is brought back under control,

people will die.

In the last 20 minutes,

virtually identical
threats have been made

to most of the coast-to-coast
news networks in the country.

It's the same information
just slightly different words.

So it's not a recorded
message or script.

Displays a measure of confidence.

He could have easily
just called one network.

This guy obviously wants attention.

It's typical behavior for
a personal cause bomber.

One bomb has a finite impact.
It's just a little package.

Make bunch of phone calls, that
magnifies my explosion 100 times.

We have the additional recorded
calls being gathered for assessment.

Networks say the calls came
from a restricted number.

Two have given limited
permission to trap and trace

the lines if we should need to.

You got a news organization
to agree to a trap and trace?

Who could say "no" to me?

This is not likely Al-Qaeda. They
don't call unless they bomb something.

At Homeland security's request, the
networks are going to keep this quiet

- until we've assessed the situation.
- It doesn't feel like a hoax.

His voice is calm, resigned. He's made
his decision. He's committed to it.

Plus he said: "This
is only the beginning"

The beginning of what?
And he also said:

"until it is brought back
under control". What's it?

He has to call back. And if this
threat isn't followed by an event,

no one will take any
future calls seriously.

So, we're going to tell the
media to go ahead with the story?

Absolutely not.

Threats like this, with
an unspecified location

will just cause tremendous panic.

Then, what are we gonna do?

Unfortunately, all we can do is wait.

Robespierre wrote:

"Crime butchers innocence
to secure a prize

And innocence struggles
with all its might

against the attempts of crime".

So Seattle's where it all began.

We just need to figure out what
it is. And off the top of my head,

I can think of grunge
music and overpriced coffee.

That doesn't seem significant
enough for terrorism.

It's a personal cause bomber.

It only needs to be
of significance to him.

Agent Nick Casey, Seattle field office.

S. S. A. Hotchner, how do you do?

This is Dr. Spencer
Reid, S. S. A. Morgan,

agent Jareau, and S. S. A. Gideon.

Have you identified the device?

Looks like a small pipe
bomb attached to an umbrella

I'd like to take a look at those
bomb fragments as soon as possible

- I've got bomb squad experience.
- As soon as they're catalogued.

How many people were on the bus
when the explosion went off?

25 including the driver.

Explosion killed two.

The driver and a young
male. Injured seven.

A pipe bomb on a crowded city bus
and only two people are killed?

Had a relatively small charge.

The two dead were found closest to
the bomb at the time of detonation.

Sylvia Cohen, an elderly passenger,

found the umbrella on
the floor at her feet.

She said the young man volunteered
to take it to the driver for her.

She's pretty broken up about it.

Have you vetted and debriefed
the rest of the passengers?

I have their info if
you want to talk to them.

- Did you get their positions?
- Sorry?

Where they were on the bus?

No.

JJ, maybe you can
recontact the passengers

- and map their locations.
- Yeah, you got it

Nobody saw anyone leave the umbrella?

No.

But, you know, from the
style it looks like a...

remote detonator on
the corner over there.

- You say remote?
- Limited frequency remote.

- Like a garage door opener?
- Something like that.

That's awfully risky.

Anyone on this bus could have
accidentally detonated the bomb

- just by pulling out of their garage.
- That's right.

He used a remote from the corner.

Did he want to be close
enough to see what happened

Or did he need to be mechanically?

Those remotes are pretty
limited. He probably needed to be.

Then he might have been nervous.

Maybe that made him stand out.

I could set up a public service
announcement encouraging anyone

who was in the area of the time
of the bombing to contact us.

Well, we do need a press conference.

But it'll be about getting
this unsub to call us.

We're still trying to
determine what happened.

Initial reports called it a bomb,

but since no one has
claimed responsibility,

we can't rule out some
kind of mechanical failure.

Supervisory Special Agent Gideon

will be handling any
future communication

on this incident. If
anyone has any information

they feel might be helpful,
please contact S.S.A. Gideon

at the number appearing on your screen.

We will keep you posted
with future developments.

Thank you.

Do you think that was enough?

It will definitely stress him
that his message isn't getting out.

- What if he doesn't call?
- Reid and Morgan

are going over the device. Maybe
they'll come up with something.

You know, Reid,

the bomber could have bought this
detonator at any old toy store

You take a remote control car,

plane, boat,

attach a detonator
like this to the motor,

touch the remote, boom!

Instant fourth of july.

How you doing? I'm Derek Morgan.

This is dr. Spencer Reid.
We're with the B.A.U.

Cassondra Atkins. Cass
or Cassy works, too.

Bomb tech.

- It's a really nice reconstruction.
- Oh, it wasn't that hard

Explosive was limited and the fragments

were comparatively easy to locate.

Okay so tell me what else you got here?

Well, besides the light
explosive load, he used dry peas.

Dry peas...

He chose a shrapnel that wouldn't do too
much damage outside of a limited range.

Why? What's he doing,
trying to minimize his kills?

It also has a picture engraved on it.

It's a robot with an arrow through it.

Anti-robotics?

Doesn't the city center
bus stop use smart buses?

- Smart buses?
- Yeah,

Hi-tech buses that use
time sensors on the buses

and the bus stops to give out
arrival and departure times?

- Yeah. Went automated last
year. - So he's anti-technology.

Maybe.

Hey, dollface,

- ready to work somme magic for me?
- Challenge me,

you beautiful, behavioral analyst.

Domestic terrorist activity
in the Seattle area.

Morgan,

challenge me. Doesn't even
raise my blood pressure.

Pacific Northwest is, like,
ripe with the disgruntled.

You have animal rights, zoning laws.

- Specifically
anti-technology? - Ahh, yes.

My looney opposites.

Here's something! Month
ago. Tacoma, Washington.

disguised young guy went
crazy on a bunch of computers

at a science lab, screaming,

"we will soon be the slaves and
the machines will be the masters"

Yikes.

That would totally suck for me.

I'm surrounded in here...

Come on, what are you worried
about? You got me to protect you.

Now that gets my blood up.

I'm uploading the video to you now.

What else do you have, Garcia?

I also found an article in the St
Dennis university college newspaper.

Last spring, close to the school,

an Internet cafe was attacked.

Someone created floppy disk bombs

that went off in 4 of the
computers. No one was injured.

Who uses floppy disks anymore?

Right, agent Brain, that
was the point of the attack.

They left a note: "ultimately,
you'll be as obsolete

as your graveyard technology".

- Is the note signed?
- "F. F. T. Brigade"

I'm finding references to a
freedom from technology brigade,

a fringe group that's showing up lately.

Anything else in the note?

Yeah. There's a not
very artistic drawing

of what kind of looks like a...

robot with an arrow through it.

I'm uploading it to you now.

You know, Seattle's the birthplace

of some of the most cutting
edge technology in the world.

Where it began.

I think we're ready to give a profile.

We believe the unsub resides in Seattle.

All of the attacks, most of which
have just involved property damage,

have taken place here,
and the timing and location

indicate knowledge of the area.

Even though he escalated
to a lethal bombing today,

we don't believe that that
was necessarily his intention.

In fact, anyone not
directly next to the device

received minor injuries.

So we think fear may have
been the larger motive.

- So he's a terrorist then.
- He is, but...

that's too vague of a
description for our purposes.

Douglas and olshaker
categorize bombers as criminal,

group cause, psychologically
disorganized, and...

personal cause bombers. And we believe
this guy to be a personal cause bomber.

And personal cause bombers are motivated
by an underlying emotional conflict.

In an interview from prison,
the unabomber, Ted Kaczynksi,

admitted that while he
was a graduate student

at the university of Michigan, he started
having fantasies of becoming a woman.

Even got on a list to get
a sex-change operation but,

during a mandatory psychological
exam prior to the procedure,

he changed his mind.

He told the psychologist
that he made a mistake.

From that moment

through the next three
decades of his life,

Ted Kaczynksi carried out a campaign

of isolation and murder.

This unsub is male.

He lives alone.

He's possibly self-employed.

He's highly organized. He's meticulous.

And he's very smart.

And he seems odd to
those who know him. Angry,

distant, prone to sudden violent rage.

This is not the kind of guy
whose neighbors will be surprised

to find out what he's arrested
for. This guy's neighbors

will have no trouble believing it.

Targets appear to be technology,
but not the hi-tech variety.

The kind of technology
we're surrounded by.

In a city the size of
Seattle, we're talking

10,000 possible targets.

Agent Gideon, you got
a call on the tip line.

Okay, go ahead.

This is agent Gideon.

Why did you say no one
took responsibility?!

- I'm sorry.
- We called them all...

all the networks

before anything happened.
They didn't tell anyone?

Well, the networks are incompetent if...

you need to get your message
out or you have a demand,

I'm in a much better
position to do that for you

You have a name, sir?

We're the F.F.T. Brigade.

No No No I mean you
specifically. What...

what can I call you?

This is not about individuals.
F.F.T.'s a major organization.

- we have hundreds of members.
- But you... you have a name.

You may call me Allegro.

So, Allegro, let's meet somewhere

We can talk about your message...

- try to help you...
- If the networks won't get our message out,

then it is up to you.
It's your responsibility.

So call this number. They'll put
you through to me immediately.

I won't need to call again.

My message will be here when you arrive.

I'm sorry, when I arrive?

What's that?

Allegro?

Hello?

Allegro?

Can you smell that?

Same explosive, just more of it.

Yeah. And same detonation device, too.

The gas station closed 15
minutes prior to the explosion.

Fortunately, the worker
had already gone home.

No casualties, an escalation
in the size of the explosion,

and a decrease in the number of victims

We need to do a grid
search as soon as possible.

What do I tell them we're looking for?

Said his message would
be here when we arrived.

Clear!

It's a book.

It says,"manifesto".

Bag it.

His manifesto's main demand is

completely unrealistic:
stop all automated machinery

that's replaced american workers

- within a week.
- And if his demands aren't met,

he says he'll detonate even larger bombs

So we have an anti-technology
bomber who so far has attacked

computers, an automated cashier,
an automated gas station,

- and a smart bus.
- Who calls himself Allegro.

What was that?

He told me to call him allegro.

Of course.

- Yeah, it's a book.
- Yeah, it ought to be.

No, no It's an actual book,
a novel I read it as a kid.

It's called "Empty Planet" by
one-hit-wonder author David Hansberry.

It's got it all: technoids,
minutians. All that stuff's in there.

It's robots that take over the world

once they figure out how
to reproduce with humans.

Essentially, humanity's lost to
technology and the hero of the book

is a 12-year-old
boy named Allegro

who builds an army and
fights for the humans.

Morgan, have Garcia get as
much information as possible

on the author of "Empty
Planet". David Hansberry?

Hansberry, yeah.

I'm on it.

There was a passenger
on the bus yesterday,

a Dr. Emory Cooke. He's supposed
to be some kind of computer genius,

- pioneer in artificial life.
- Yeah, Cooke.

He developed software that mirrors
the human reproductive system.

Computers that can replicate themselves.

So maybe Cooke was the
target and not the smart bus.

If so, that would definitely be
imitating events from the book.

Allegro and his army not
only destroyed robots,

but they assassinate the scientists
that are responsible for creating them.

Dr. Cooke was sitting right
in front of Sylvia Cohen.

And the umbrella was initially
found underneath Dr. Cooke's seat.

Yeah.

Thank you for coming
so quickly, dr. Cooke.

People, particularly some
religious fundamentalists,

oppose the work you do.

Do you receive any threatening letters

or phone calls from
anyone about your work?

Never.

Really?

I've managed to put to rest

certain anxieties
about the godlessness of

artificial life by openly
sharing my own personal beliefs.

Which are?

No scientific knowledge
precludes the existence of God.

There are also those with...

very strong ethical concerns.

Ethical concerns revolve mainly around

the manipulation of
already-existing life forms.

My work is on creating

artificial life,

which presents far less ethical dilemma.

Not from the man that put
the bomb on the bus yesterday.

He seems to be obsessed with
the science fiction novel

by David Hansberry
called "Empty Planet".

Are you familiar with the book?

I'm from friends with the author.

The author of the "Empty Planet"

used David Hansberry as a pseudonym.

Come on, Garcia, I know you
got his name, so give it up.

Her name,

you cute little
chauvinist, is Ursula Kent,

and she's a literature professor at...

oh, my...

In seattle, st Dennis university.

Where the floppy disc bombs were set.

Oh, you are the light
of my life, sweet lady.

Je suis toujours ici pour toi, mon cher.

Drives me crazy when you talk
that "voulez coucher" stuff to me.

Stop it! Au revoir, crazy girl.

Ursula Kent is a brilliant woman.

She's a post-modernist
literature professor.

Every semester I give a
guest lecture in her class.

She... she's here?

In Seattle?

Is that not what I just said?

Sir, this guy reads "Empty
Planet" like it's prophecy.

He's targeting what he considers
threats to the survival of human beings,

and I believe that he finds you
one of these threats, Dr. Cooke.

As I've said,

I rather doubt that.

Do you think the fact
that you were on that bus

and you're friends with the
author is a coincidence?

A cognitive scientist
at M.I.T. once said:

"Coincidences seem to be the source

for some of our greatest
irrationalities".

- Our minds see coincidences and...
- I understood him.

I'd like to attach a protective
detail for you, Dr. Cooke,

until we find the guy.

No, thank you.

- Excuse me?
- Really, now.

Do I seem like the sort who
would want to be followed around

all day by a government goon squad?

I don't think so.

Goon squad?

Ever talk to someone who
wants to continually show you

he's smarter than you?

Everyday.

I really hate that.

Garcia found the author of the book.

David Hansberry's just a pen name.

- The real name is...
- Ursula Kent.

The professor of post-modern
literature at St. Dennis university

where the floppy disc bombs were sent.

Anyway, JJ's contacting her,
we can go see her any time.

Let's go.

We need to stop by a bookstore
and get a copy of "Empty Planet".

I want to re-read before
we talk to the author.

- I haven't read it since I was 6.
- 6?

I was still ridin'by
big wheel at 6 years old.

- Do you mind? It'll only take 10 minutes.
- To buy it or read it?

Oh, both, actually.

Have agent Casey set up
protection for Dr. Cooke.

Like him or not, he's in danger.

He used a compression detonator.

Looks like it was under the seat.

Once he sat down, it arms.

Detonated when he released
the pressure by getting up.

He wanted to make sure
nothing went wrong this time.

Nobody moved the umbrella.

Hotch, Gideon just talked to this guy.

Offered him security but he refused.

We were gonna set it up anyway.

I doubt it would have helped.

What do you mean?

Compression detonator.

It had to have been set when he was
with us or it would have detonated

when he arrived at the field office.

I'll get security to start running
tapes of the lot for the last 2 hours.

Good.

Gideon.

I'm glad no one but Dr Cooke was hurt.

Dr Cooke wasn't hurt.

He was murdered.

Murder is not murder during war.

But this... this isn't
a war. You're... you're...

you're livin' a novel,

You're livin' a fiction.

- Will you meet my demands?
- I can't...

Stopping all automation at a
week, you know that's impossible.

And I want my manifesto printed

- in the Seattle Ledger by tonight.
- Not the New York Times, Washington Post?

Somebody in Seattle important to you?

There's more work to be
done. Much, much more.

In fact, I'm going to visit
an old acquaintance right now.

I'd invite you, but you're
all going to be very busy.

Got it.

It was the last copy left,
according to the clerk,

it's actually become a pretty popular
novel in science fiction circles.

Hotch.

A suspicious package was
found at the water works.

The report says it looks like a pipe
bomb, We're on our way there now.

Ok, keep me posted.

Unsub says we're gonna be busy.

Got it.

Looks like a pipe bomb
at the water works.

Are we gonna go there?

No, we'll still go see professor Kent.

Seatbelts.

Hello. Ursula Kent.

Hi. My pleasure, professor
Kent. Jason Gideon, FBI.

This is Dr. Reid

It's a real pleasure to meet
you. I'm a fan of your work.

Well, that's very nice of you to say.

- We can speak in my office.
- Lead the way.

Your book has become a significant
part of our investigation.

So your colleague explained.

I can't imagine how, though.

Bomber sees it is some
kind of prophetic work.

He's attempting to save humanity

by stopping the proliferation
of robotic technology.

Well, that's absurd.

He's written a document-like manifesto

called a guide to practical living,
and several sections of it are lifted

directly from "Empty Planet".

He's taken up what he believes
to be your cause and...

he's killing people for the sake of it.

But "Empty Planet" is a fantasy.

Not to this man.

How could anyone think
it's more than that?

Unfortunately, it's impossible
to predict how an unstable mind

will interpret something.

And it's caused him to kill people?

Do you know a Dr Emory Cooke?

- Very well.
- He spoke to your classes?

Yes

Dr. Cooke was murdered
by the bomber an hour ago.

No.

Clear!

It's safe now, just
another small charge.

More meant to scare than to harm.

Definitely the same unsub.

Same signature.

Casey.

We'll get there ASAP.

There's another bomb at the post office.

Let's go.

Professor, what is that?

this is something someone...

a brilliant man gave me a
long time ago before he died.

Actually, it's part of the inspiration

for "Empty Planet".

James was a rather early alarmist

about how much we
were letting technology

control our lives.

It's become a sort of talisman for me.

You wear it when you teach?

Sometimes, yes.

This has been etched
on the bomber's devices.

Oh, my God!

Bomber's written a
manifesto he wants published,

but not in the national newspaper.

He wants it published
in the Seattle Ledger.

He wants someone here to read it.

Have you ever had a student you think might
be capable of doing something like this?

One of my students? Someone
who hates technology?

I'm a post-modernist.

In my area of study,
technological inventions

are often viewed as art objects.

That's true, but oftentimes the
biggest critics of technology

are those with scientific
backgrounds, and...

- your students definitely fit that category.
- I need you to read this.

Tell me if the writing
seems at all familiar to you.

We'll wait.

Morgan.

Gideon, this guy's pissing
me off right about now

This is the fourth location
in the last 50 minutes.

All of them have been very small bombs.

- What kind of locations?
- Municipal Water works,

main post office,

social security office, and now we're
at the main branch of the library.

Government buildings.

- Nothing involving technology.
- No, nothing.

Then what's the purpose?

Distract us, keep us movin'.

He's doing a damn good job,
gideon, I don't like this at all.

We're chasing this guy, We gotta
do somethin'to get ahead of him.

Professor Kent is reading the manifesto.

I hope she reads as fast as Reid.

No one reads as fast as Reid.

Is this the syllabus for your class?

- Yes
- Is it the same every semester?

Mostly, maybe a book or project changed.

You only have two
guest lecturers listed.

Yes... Dr. Cooke and Dr. Brasier.

I always have those two,
they're the only two I invite.

They speak to every new class.

Dr. Cooke is... was...

an expert on artificial life,

- and Dr. Brasier...
- Artificial intelligence.

Dr. Brasier have an office on campus?

No, it's cross town at Rolling Hills.

Morgan, I may have something.

Hey, Shelly,

I'm on my way to the symposium now.

Then save me a seat.

It's not rude.

Fine, then tell them a V.I.P. is coming

and you'll lose your job
if you don't save the seat.

How long ago did her
assistant say she left?

- Minutes
- Good, maybe she's not in the car yet.

Yeah.

Me, Shelly. I'm the VIP.

Yes, I am.

- I don't care what you tell them.
- Stop the car!

This is long as I can see,
I'm tired and I need a seat.

Stop the car, ma'am! Stop the car!

Listen to me, Do not touch the
ignition. Put the car in park.

Ma'am, put the car in park,
don't touch the ignition.

Don't panic.

- I'm FBI.
- FBI?

- Dr. Brasier?
- Yes, I'm Dr. Brasier.

- It's her.
- Girl, let me call you back.

Doctor, do not move.

- Excuse me?
- I need you to sit

as still as you can, please.

Damn.

Doctor, listen carefully.

You must sit as still as you
possibly can, you understand?

Why?

There is a bomb under your seat.

- Be good.
- Wait.

Be of good courage and...

he will strengthen thine heart.

Doctor,

you're gonna be just fine.

He will strengthen thine heart

Every device this guy has
made has been fairly basic

I'm guessing this is a simple...

lever action compression detonator.

Kinda like a door latch.

When you use this, put
it between the latch

and the seat bottom
to depress the latch,

and I think we should be ok

- Should?
- Well,

if there's mercury, we got problems.

Thanks, Hotch.

Yeah, I'm right here.

- So?
- Bomb tech's just about ready.

- Maybe we should get over there
- No, I think we would just be in the way

- What about Morgan?
- He hasn't changed his mind.

Morgan?

I'm ordering you to
step away from the car.

Hotch, you know I respect you

I'm not leavin' her

You should listen to your friends.

Don't do that.

Don't you turn on me, doc.

I'm right here with you.

Got it?

Okay?

My girl is using one of my hands

- Now, Cassie.
- Yeah?

You might need the
other one, so come on.

Do what you gotta do, let's do this.

Step back.

Thank you.

Aside from the sections of my novel

that were blatantly plagiarized,

I didn't recognize anything.

It's just page after page
of the ravings of a lunatic.

Right now, a young man I
greatly respect and admire

is putting his life on the
line because of that lunatic.

I'll look through it again.

Thank you

You're gonna be just fine.

Wait on the lord, I say.

That was lucky.

Yeah, this time.

Yeah, they're ok

Now blow the car up.

You're blowing it up?

Best way to keep Dr Brasier safe is...

by letting the bomber think he
was successful in killing her.

Neighbors will hear an
explosion, it'll be on the news.

You have a complicated life.

Complicated world.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yeah, me, too.

Give the manifesto a little more
thought. Maybe something will occur to you

without the pressure
of us looming over you.

You could go back
over your student list.

Think about the males.

Anything odd about them.

Guy probably had a temper.

Something... you maybe haven't
thought about for years.

I'll have my T.A. pull the files.

May I ask you something, ma'am?

Of course.

Why didn't you ever write another book?

I guess it was the only
story I needed to tell.

I'll be working in my
office most of the night,

don't hesitate to call.

Thank you.

- Have a good night.
- You too.

Melissa, I need you to pull the file

and thesis paper of a
student from last year.

Yeah, his name is Kenneth Roberts.

Great, thanks.

So it begins with the father's suicide.

Okay we got 5 crime scenes' worth
of new information to go through.

And the targets that the
unsub chose for the decoy bombs

do they force a change in the profile?

I don't think so, I think
they are what they are

Decoys to throw us off
the trail of Dr Brasier.

- Reid, what's that?
- It's the subplot of the Empty Planet book.

- Allegro kills his mother?
- Yeah, at the end,

he discovers he's adopted, he's
reunited with his birth mom.

He thanks her for having the strength
to give him a better life, but...

ironically, he realizes that
she herself has become a robot,

so he kills her.

He sacrifices the one
person in the world

he has a biological connection
with for the greater good.

I thought we were talking about
some geeky sci-fi book here.

- That sounds like greek tragedy.
- It's not played as a tragedy at all though.

In fact, his mother's incredibly
proud of this final act,

like it's the ultimate fulfillment
of his destiny, proof that...

proof that she was right to have
given him up in the first place.

Wait a minute, If he kills her,
how do you know she was proud?

It's told from her point
of view, the whole book is.

It's kind of like she's talking
to the reader from heaven

Mother's the narrator.

Yeah it's really her story.

Only story she needed to tell.

And in order to fulfill the story,

he's gotta kill his mother.

Don't hate the book

Without this, I never
would have known you at all.

Mother.

Kenneth, did you do this?

Did you kill Dr Cooke?

You've read my manifesto.

Yes, and...

I thought some things seemed familiar.

And I know why you wrote "Empty Planet".

I know what you've been trying to say.

Kenneth,

you've misunderstood.

I don't... think so.

Kenneth,

the book is a work of fiction.

- The book is a gift!
- No, it isn't.

It's just a story.

Then let me tell you
a story, professor!

My mother died when I was eight.

And then several years ago, my
father needed a blood transfusion.

And I tried to donate, only to discover

that we had nothing
genetically in common.

I had to watch him wither away,

but before he died, he
told me I was adopted.

This is not what you think.

I needed to find my mother,
but the records were sealed.

All I knew was that...

I was adopted in Youngstown,

Ohio.

And then I came across
an article about...

professor Ursula Kent.

Favorite daughter of youngstown,

famous writer of "Empty Planet",

and do you know, do you know,

what that article said?

It... it said

that you had given
up a baby for adoption

and that baby was the
inspiration for the book.

That is true.

That is true, but that
is not the whole story.

When did you give up
your baby for adoption?

Wasn't it 26 years ago?

In Youngstown, Ohio?

Go, go!

Kenneth, listen to me.

No!

It's your turn to listen.

Come on!

I came out here to take your class.

For a year, I sat right there.

Right there! And you never saw me!

- How could you not recognize me?
- If you'd just come to me,

- I could've explained...
- Then I realized,

the only way to get you to see me was
to live out the book, But guess what?

I did that and now,

you see me, don't you?

- This is our destiny!
- Morgan, stairs, Go around.

The baby I gave up,

it was a girl.

It was a daughter.

- That's a lie.
- It was a girl.

- That's a lie!
- I'm so sorry.

- I know the pain you're in.
- Why do you keep

- lying to me?!
- You're not my son!

I promise I will do everything I
can to help you find your birth.

- Stop it!
- Allegro!

- I have a bomb!
- Wait!

Wait!

Please wait.

Don't want to hurt anyone

You've gone to great lengths not
to hurt anyone unintentionally...

- Leave us alone!
- No, we can't do that, Allegro.

We cannot leave you alone.

Okay, listen, I'm... I'm... I'm okay.

Doesn't have to end this way

- This is how it ends!
- You can change the ending.

- This is how it ends!
- How does it begin?

I don't even know the story,

- tell me the story.
- You don't know the story!

I wanna know who you are, Are
you in the story, Allegro?

- Start the story!
- Leave us alone!

Get an ambulance, get him out of here.

It's your shoulder.

He's lost, He's just lost

Just relax.

It'll be all right.

Can't blame him.

Your eyes, Ursula, I
wanna see your eyes.

Here they are. There you go.

- You're listening?
- I'm listening.

He just wants to know who he is.

That's all.

I understand.

Open those eyes, there you go.

Right, Keep looking at me.

It's gonna be all right.

Just relax.

- I'll be right back.
- Do not cheat.

JJ, a lot of science fiction's
deeper than you might think.

- There are some genuine human emotions...
- Yeah, let me save you the time, Reid.

I am never going to Comicon with you.

- I...
- Gin.

What, you don't trust me?

- Come on.
- Let's just make sure.

It's fun beating a genius.

Genius Dr Reid let you win.

I hear you were worried about me.

'Scuse me?

The bomb at the garage under the car?

A young man that I
greatly admire and respect

is putting his life on the line.

What?

I do something?

What you did with the bomb was stupid.

Gideon, I couldn't leave that lady
out there by herself like that.

I didn't say you were wrong.

And what he said I said.

I said.

I knew that.
