Blindspot

Why were you tailing us?

Stop!

Another 50,000 volts

and you'll fry his frontal cortex,

then he's useless to us.

Give him a 30-second recovery.

Have you ever heard of the pain scale?

Doctors use it, you know:

"How much does it hurt from 1 to 10?"

It's a nice, neat concept.

Take it from someone

who knows what a "10" feels like.

Death is preferable.

Go again.

I hate it.

- I can't with this anymore. - What is the matter with you?

It's too sweet.

You've said that about all of them!

I didn't say that about the banana cake

which you guys threw in the trash.

Where it clearly belonged.

Hey, what's with the breakfast cake?

Meg gave me some decisions to make for the wedding.

All right, do you want a hand? 'Cause I'm kind of

an expert at this stuff now.

Oh, look at this, this is nice.

Kind of reminds me of the time

my prison family baked a cake

for Vinny's wedding to his stalker.

Patterson, got something for you.

How's the carrot?

What are you telling me, exactly?

There has to be something else we can do.

Nothing is irreversible.

Look, I'll have to call you back.

Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, I was just talking to my doctor.

I've been getting these headaches, but, uh...

nothing to worry about.

I hope not.

I've got a new task for you.

We're flying out tomorrow.

Blake's charity gala... She'll be thrilled.

She'll be thrilled because of the reason I'm attending.

Bruyere... he's finally playing ball.

He's ready to make the land deal.

- Tomorrow? - Mm-hmm.

That's great news.

I can't overstate what a critical step this is.

Ms. Baker.

Give me a moment and I will find them.

Be right back.

Right, you remember this one,

the dragonfly tattoo? We solved it a few weeks ago?

Led to a thread on a message board, but it was empty.

Until an hour ago.

Two users started a conversation,

Dragonfly164 and Atlantic17.

Cool names, guys.

After Atlantic replied, the messages disappeared so...

I'm thinking maybe they did a little scruba-dub-dub?

Which means there could be older messages as well.

Let's see if we can dig 'em up.

That's why I brought you in here.

Hey, sorry, uh, to interrupt

but I need to talk to you, Patterson.

Oh, sure, yeah, totally.

I wouldn't wanna manterrupt two women...

Wait, no, manterrupting is when...

Sorry, now I'm mansplaining manterrupting.

I'll google it.

Okay, this just came in. It's gotta be Roman.

Another clue to a tattoo?

I don't know, I can't open it.

Whoa, the encryption is a lot heavier this time.

Why is he upping his encryption?

The only reason to encrypt a text this way would be

to ensure that it couldn't be read

if it fell into the wrong hands.

Why would he think my phone

could fall into the wrong hands?

Maybe it's his phone he's worried about.

Hey, I was just coming to find you.

Did they finally approve my request for a therapy llama?

Your position at the FBI is under review.

Hirst orchestrated your deal and now that the Bureau

knows she's dirty, they're rethinkin' it.

That doesn't sound good.

Yeah. An agent from

the Office of Professional Responsibility

is in the conference room waiting on you right now.

Wh... Right now?! I'm in pajamas.

They spring it on you like a drug test

- so you can't prepare for it. - Yeah.

Except the bag of clean urine that I definitely

don't have taped to my leg at all times

wouldn't really help in this situation.

Hang on a second. This is not a big deal, is it?

Unfortunately, it is a big deal, Rich.

OPR holds a lot of power in this building.

Last time a member of our team was under review,

Jane got arrested.

- Ohh... - If you fail this review,

they'll rip up your contract and send you back to prison.

But, hey, you love prison.

Well, I, I mean, I don't love prison.

It really, I mean, it depends on the place.

You know, I mean, Rikers has half-ply toilet paper.

Good luck, Rich.

Half a ply.

Did you find more messages on the forum?

Uh, "more" is an understatement.

What forum?

I cracked the dragonfly tattoo.

You see this yet?

This gonna be a problem?

Not if they don't find out.

Well, when it comes out and... it will,

be prepared to be very unpopular with your friends.

The messages were originally deleted

after they were being read.

But if you take a very deep dive into the metadata,

you find these.

Messages between two users, Dragonfly164 and Atlantic17.

So what do they say?

Uh, it looks like Dragonfly

is involved in a terrorist organization.

He refers to some kind of attack they're planning.

What about Atlantic?

Most of it is Dragonfly reporting information to him.

A few months ago, they went silent...

Until this morning.

Dragonfly is in New York now.

It says they're meeting under the bridge

at Astoria park today.

And if they're here, it could be for an attack.

Any idea who these people are?

- ...this is a maybe... - You can stop looking.

Why?

I know who Dragonfly164 is.

It's Borden. He's alive.

How could you possibly know that?

Because Atlantic17 is me.

Subtitles by explosiveskull

Borden's alive?

Why didn't you tell us?

I couldn't.

He is a CIA asset,

and that is why I have been communicating with him.

I was his handler.

Start from the beginning.

That, uh, night at the barn...

He fully expected the explosion to kill him,

but it didn't.

Between the burns and the gunshot wound,

he was in bad shape.

He performed field medicine on himself

and fled the country. The CIA didn't know

he was alive until a year later.

How did you find him here?

The ID he had on him was a known alias.

The hospital alerted the Mumbai station chief.

How long until he's strong enough

to be transported back to the FBI?

We're not bringing him back.

Nor are we informing the Bureau that he's alive.

We're gonna cut him a deal.

- You can't be serious. - Mm-hmm.

He's gotten dozens of FBI agents killed, he...

He plotted a nuclear attack on D.C.

And Sandstorm is now extinct,

which means Borden is no longer

of any intelligence value to the FBI.

It would be a waste to hand him over to them

when we could use him

to take down someone even worse.

Goran Gorovich.

He killed 100,000 of his own people

through ethnic cleansing.

One of the worst genocides in modern history.

And we have intel that he's planning

to attack the U.S. soon.

What do you want?

We want you to go undercover with one of his cells

and figure out where Gorovich is hiding.

Now, if you can locate him,

we're prepared to offer you

complete immunity for your crimes.

No, thank you.

Look, the alternative is gonna be a life in solitary.

You get a tough jury, lethal injection.

I peeled burnt flesh

off nearly a third of my body.

It took 46 hours

because I kept passing out from the pain.

The last year of my life

has been an unfathomable hell.

I know you wish that I had died in that explosion.

I wish I had, too.

She was too good for you.
