...but those are mild side

effects for a drug that has...

...and will continue to

save thousands of lives.

As you can see, I'm in perfect

health, so we at McCabe-Grey...

...are glad to be given a

taste of our own medicine.

It tastes great.

We should have

used the higher dose.

TESS:
They've paid hackers to break

the encryption on my last video.

They won't break it, but...

You don't know that.

I do.

Mine makes theirs

look like pig Latin.

We still have two more

jams before we leave.

I think we should let other collectives

draw some attention first,

and cool out for a bit.

I agree.

Let's break for a while.

It's a good opportunity to

keep up cover on the outside,

for those of us who do.

If you like it better, stay.

If not...

...come back.

We have a lot of work to do.

MALE ANNOUNCER:

Ladies and gentlemen,

next and final stop,

Union Station.

Watch your step as

you exit the train.

Thank you for choosing Amtrak.

Wow.

Your hair.

I didn't even recognize you.

(CHUCKLES)

(SARAH SIGHS)

How was Dubai?

Can we not talk about it?

So you missed me a little bit?

Excited to sleep

in your own bed?

(METAL DETECTORS BEEPING)

Mr. Douglas, step aside

for additional screening.

Hello, Jane.

Good to see you back.

The group says they

have two jams left...

...until they disappear and resurface

with a larger organization.

How will they do that?

There's a girl they call Tess.

She's interfacing with other

cells in the deep Web.

What cells?

We assume other

likeminded groups.

But we don't know who or where.

We need to start

information sharing

with the Bureau

to cover ourselves.

You've been in the field

quite some time.

There are too many

unanswered questions.

Too many questions.

Understood, but we were able

to identify two key members.

That's William Woodhouse Ill.

We're waiting on

real estate records...

...but we think it's his property the

group thinks they're squatting on.

Using Stanford medical records,

we were able to

identify Dr. Thomas Ayers.

That is his

current Facebook page.

"Mimi" is a fake profile.

That's how 450 friends think

they're in touch with you...

...when no one has actually

seen you for years.

MALE NEWS ANCHOR: Okay, Bob,

exactly what are we talking about?

MAN:
We're talking about

a class of drugs...

It seems so loud.

Mmm-hmm.

You usually ask me

to turn it up.

(REDUCES TV VOLUME)

You Okay?

Oh, just jet lag.

I'm just tired.

(SIGHS)

I know you're not allowed to

talk about what's happening...

...but do you

want to...

...talk to me

about how you feel?

Like I've been in

a foreign country.

But I was there for

such a long time that

it all started to

feel really familiar.

So when I came home...

...it feels like

a foreign country, too.

That's hard.

Yeah, it sucks.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Maybe we can make something

familiar for dinner tonight.

To welcome you back

into this country.

Like what?

Like spaghetti and meatballs.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Okay, yeah.

Or, we can go to the store

together and find...

What's she saying?

Turn it up!

Why?

(INCREASING TV VOLUME)

And...

...I don't know,

it's hard...

(CHUCKLES)

It's hard to communicate

what it feels like to have...

...your mind and

your body taken hostage.

And I don't just mean...

...my body.

I mean, my mind.

My mind, I feel different.

I feel...

Um...

I don't feel... I don't

recognize myself in the mirror.

Uh, I used to hear

about their stories.

How do they let this

stuff on the market?

Oh, my God.

We never took any of

that stuff, did we?

No. I checked

your medical records.

I forgot something at work...

...so I have to

run to the office.

I'll stop at the store

on my way home.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

SHARON:
I do love to

be proven wrong.

When you came to me...

...with those videos and wanted

to start a file on those kids...

...I thought I'd recruited

another Bureau idiot.

Robert McCabe

called me himself.

I told him,

in one month's time...

...I would have the

identities of every person

who poisoned his company.

We'll send you back in.

Why not just raid the house?

Have you been

smoking pot with them?

They don't smoke pot.

We're not some

blue-collar security firm.

I have GPS for that.

We spend 99% of our time

pitching clients we never sign.

I want to know what the next two

jams are, avert those disasters...

...come out looking like a leader

in the intelligence community...

...with two new clients.

Then you can lock them

up till middle age.

What are we not talking about?

Getting attached to them is all right.

It's human.

We know it happens. It's the first

thing we cover in training.

If you spent every day with a

pack of White supremacists...

...you'd develop

feelings for them, too.

But do not get soft.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

If they find out who you are,

they won't give a second

thought to your destruction.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE WHOOPING)

DOC:
Sarah!

You dance, don't you?

Come on.

Guess you didn't like it

better on the outside.

The jam worked.

(GIRL WHOOPING)

Is that why you came back?

I came back because I

missed being uncomfortable.

You want to keep going?

Yeah.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Sorry.

Oh. That's okay.

You left.

I thought you got lost.

Oh.

I couldn't sleep.

Want to go for a ride?

Yeah.

We can go down there.

You know these woods well.

Have you lived here before?

Yeah.

I was born here.

SARAH:
How did

the house burn?

I set it on fire.

Where was your family?

My parents were already dead.

We were out on a night sail...

...Mom, Dad,

and my dog, Growl.

Your dog's name was Growl?

We hit a submerged shipping

container and the boat capsized.

Growl and I ended up beside it,

and Mom and Dad underneath.

At first, I could

hear them in there...

...and then I couldn't.

So when I got back,

I had all this money

and this huge house

and everything.

And people had changed.

They treated me differently.

Everyone. My friends, my

uncles, my grandparents.

But what scared me...

...was the fact

that I let them.

That I liked it.

I saw how money

corrupts everything

and I felt that it

started to corrupt me.

That's why I set

the house on fire.

Things would be easier if we

didn't feel the need to fight.

If we could just let go.

Maybe you should.

Just disappear one night.

Can we wash you?

I don't think I'll feel

comfortable unless you say it.

Yeah.

You all can wash me.

Are you okay?

I don't think so.

Nothing will happen

that you don't want.

You're in control.

Do you want to stop?

No.

I want to keep going.

Okay, we're going to wash you as

fast as we can. Will you help?

(TIMER RINGS)

Sweetie! Sweetie, please! Hey!

Set a good example for your brother.

Stop it.

BOY:
I have an idea.

(TIMER TICKING)

You do my head and I'll do

my body, then it's faster.

Why is she timing them?

Because the water's filled

with arsenic and lead.

THUMBS:
It's Ambler,

Pennsylvania.

The whole town's downstream
