She's in Baltimore and she

may know about his cause:

Sheila.

You better not be interfering

with this investigation.

There are forces of work

here that you refuse to acknowledge

and continue to ignore.

Like it or not, Eve,

you need my help.

Send me the address.

Nick has a sister.

I have to go

to Baltimore.

I'll handle things

with Nick.

Nick, you didn't

tell us you had a sister.

Two agents are on their way

right now to pick her up.

Sheila Tanner?

FBI.

Russ

Looks like we're gonna

have to call it in, Evie.

Eleven, missed calls.

The only number

not blocked.

Who've you been

avoiding, Nick?

Hello?

Eve?

You found her?

Shane, she's already...

Eve?

Eve?

If my brother's there,

they're already dead.

Russ

Russ!

Agent down! Agent down!

I need EMS and backup

immediately to our location.

Go get him, Evie.

Go get him, Eve.

Go get him.

Good morning.

Morning.

I'm sorry, Ang.

About what?

Not having a purpose

doesn't give me an excuse

to act like a jerk.

No, it doesn't.

And you do

have a purpose.

Look, I know the last couple

of years have been tough.

Daniel, I just

don't understand

why is it so difficult

for you to...

Sign up?

No.

Believe in something bigger

and better than just this life?

Here you go again

with the Christianese.

Look, we've been over this,

you know?

Year after year

we've been through this.

I just don't get it.

I mean you just woke up one

morning and you just believed

and now I'm supposed to

just follow you?

This hasn't been easy

on me either,

you know?

You've changed; you're a

completely different person.

And you disapprove?

No, it's not that

I disapprove.

I just... I don't

get it, you know?

You've changed.

There's no doubt about it

you've changed for the better.

You're a better person

for it.

It's just, I just can't seem

to wrap my brain around stuff

that you simply

have no problem with.

I don't know why...

Just listen.

You simply believe.

I just... I wish

I could do that too,

but I just...

I don't think that I can.

Baby.

It's a leap of faith

either way.

I know it is.

Do you even believe

that Jesus existed?

Yes, Ang, of course.

There's overwhelming

evidence, okay?

Billions of people celebrate

Christmas and Easter every year.

I get that.

I know that.

Okay, then why did

they crucify him?

What were they

afraid of?

I just wish you would

open your heart

and ask God

to reveal himself to you,

'cause he would,

he will.

I just... I'm gonna need

more time, okay?

Just give me

more time.

Okay.

You know what?

She'll Full it out later.

Thanks

Thanks

You all right?

No, I'm not.

I'm not all right.

Look, it's just part

of the job.

You have to accept it

and move on.

Well, that should be

very comforting

to his wife

and children.

It's not your fault,

Eve.

I should have known.

I knew he was there.

I just had this...

Hunch?

Yeah.

He's good, Eve.

You couldn't have known.

You know, we have

seven nuclear weapons

floating around

within our borders,

a suspect that won't

give us an inch,

and we have two people

dead on our watch.

How are we supposed

to End these nukes?

Well, not by sitting here.

We know almost nothing

about Matthew Dean.

The files the CIA gave us

were worthless.

We gotta get

some answers.

What if we're supposed to fail?

What do you mean?

What if this

really is God's plan?

I don't think

nuclear weapons going off

killing hundreds of thousands

of people is God's plan.

So you do

believe in God.

Ah, I don't know.

I guess I've always thought

there was something

bigger than us.

But that's about it.

You?

My family went through

an abrupt change

in our beliefs

when I was 12.

And one night my father comes

in and tells me about Jesus.

You know, he told me that he

wouldn't force me to believe,

but you know he believed

that Jesus Christ

died for him

on the cross.

You never told

me this before.

I never told anyone.

It just never seemed

poignant until now.

Anyway, when I turned 18,

I moved out of my house

and I... I kept in contact

with my mother,

but I rarely spoke

to my father.

It just seemed like

every time we talked

our conversations would

lead to talks about Jesus.

He would just keep telling me

that Jesus came down to earth

to die for me

on the cross so that...

so that I could be forgiven.

Do you believe that?

I don't know.

I guess I've always been more

of a believe-it-when-I-see-it

type of guy, you know?

Me too.

What was he doing

in the Middle East, Jack?

That's classified.

I gave you the files.

The files were useless

and you know it.

Anything that would have shed

light on this was deleted.

Now what's the

revolution of God?

Classified.

We have an imminent

threat on our hands.

We're talking about

the destruction

of the United States

of America.

Millions innocent

people will die.

And you're passing off

the classified stamp?

What are you hiding, Jack?

What are you hiding, Jack?!

Easy.

Take your hands

off me, son.

Now.

Supposedly,

the revolution of God

is a group of high-ranking

world leaders

with plans

for a new world order.

We have not been able

to confirm or deny

the validity

of their existence.

We can.

We have one of their

operatives in custody

so we know they exist.

We also have reason

to believe that he's been

in communication with Dean.

Dean is what we call

a nontraditional operative.

He's a covert

operations specialist.

He's a psychological

operations expert

in chaos theory

and unconventional warfare.

His real talent

is destabilizing governments.

And we trained

this guy?

You better start thinking

a whole lot more like Dean

if you have any prayer

of catching him

and Ending those nukes.

Yeah, we have our operatives

working on this, as well.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Let's go.

Eve, Agent Daughtry,

get in the car please.

A couple of years

back, a CIA analyst

began using

prophecy in the Bible

to analyze events

in the Middle East.

There was some

interesting results.

Like what?

Israel recapturing

the western wall in Jerusalem

after the Six-Day war.

There was also a concern

about an event we'd refer to

as the Rapture.

Wait, so people

in the administration

were actually concerned

about the Rapture?

Rapture meaning

everyone vanishes?

Well, there are many

interpretations about this,

but yes.

Losing a substantial

number of military

and key government personnel

to an apocalyptic event

such as this, could be

problematic at best.

Contingency plans

were needed

so they sent Dean

into the Held to investigate.

We intercepted

a number of phone calls

that may be

of interest to you.

Our sources claim

that Russia's Navy

is headed to

the Strait of Hormuz.

Is that true?

We believe so.

So Russia and Iran are involved

in the revolution of God?

We believe that Rockwell

brought the bombs

in through

the Great Lakes.

Simply put,

their primary goal

is to wipe Israel

off the face of the earth.
