The Gifted

- I'm here to take you home. - Move!

I can't do that.

What's going on?

I've been getting the headaches since Andy left.

When I touch things, they begin crumbling.

You're with the Purifiers? I don't think

- I'm down to join a... Hate group?

The mutants that escaped

from the mental hospital are dangerous. Show everybody

that the Purifiers are part of the solution.

Come on, the doc's ready for you.

Time for another exercise, girls.

This is a bad man with a secret.

I need you to look inside his mind and tell me what it is.

Don't make me ask twice, girls.

Please don't.

He's scared.

- He thinks you'll find his family. - And hurt them,

- because they're mutants. Dig deeper.

Tell me where they are.

He doesn't want to think about it.

He doesn't want us to know.

Then work together, just like we talked about.

Three minds in one.

Please don't make us.

He's so scared for his family.

You know the rules, Esme.

Do you care about his family...

or yours?

Please! Please don't!

They'll kill them!

Hey. Sorry, they, uh...

they need us in training, like, now.

What, again? We're training again?

Yeah. It's just what the Frosts said.

They've had us running through crazy simulations

nonstop all week.

What is it this time?

Attacking a armored personnel carrier?

A citywide chase?

I heard something about a SWAT team, actually.

Unreal.

This just keeps getting better and better.

I think Reeva just wants to prepare us for the next mission.

And where's she been lately?

She even in the building?

You know how she is. Out doing important stuff.

Never talks about it.

Yeah, well, she better start.

So, does-does that mean you're coming, or...?

'Cause Rebecca's already down there.

Yes, I'll be there in a minute.

Okay.

Oh.

I'm sorry, baby girl.

Mama's got to work.

Yeah.

Hmm?

What about this one?

Everything has to have sleeves now.

Ugh. I can't believe we have to wear last season's look

because you let that human flashlight grab you.

Hologram simulation active.

Open fire!

Get 'em!

Brava.

- Still needs work. - I can do better.

I was slow with those guys at the end there.

No, you were awesome.

Look who breezed in.

Is there something wrong, Lorna?

You tell me. We're training for some mystery job

by playing SWAT team Whac-A-Mole

with a bunch of holograms?

No need to be upset.

These are just worst-case scenarios.

Last time we went out in the field, we nearly got ambushed

by the Mutant Underground, and now we're, what,

preparing to take fire from all sides?

What the hell kind of mission is this?

An important one.

Well, here's something that's important to me.

My baby,

who I've barely seen in two days

because of all of this training,

who may notice if Mommy comes home riddled with bullets.

I need to know the actual plan.

You'll know when you need to know. Trust me.

We're all on the same side here, Lorna.

Are we?

I'll make this real simple for you.

Either tell me what this little operation is or I'm out.

I don't see any more signs of a concussion.

I am gonna go out on a limb and pronounce you

- recovered. - Thanks.

How's Dr. Kelsey?

It was a close call.

He'll be better by the time the clinic reopens.

He's a bit rattled.

I can imagine.

On the bright side,

I was able to track down the psychiatrist

that worked at that mental institution

where you saw Andy.

I made us an appointment for tomorrow.

- You really think that's a good idea? - Yeah.

She worked at that hospital that locked up mutants.

Yeah, well, apparently,

she felt bad about the way they were treated,

so she might be willing to give us some information

on that girl that Andy broke out.

And if she won't?

Hey, we have to try.

If we can find out why they wanted that girl, Rebecca,

we are one step closer to Andy.

You sure you're gonna be okay without me tomorrow?

I still think I should go.

Reed, you need to train.

We have to get your powers under control.

The-the anxiety meds aren't working

and the side effects are getting worse.

- Can't we just change the dose? - Honey.

I know you want this to just go away,

but you have to deal with it, not just drug it.

It's so difficult to explain.

When it happens, I-I feel like I'm drowning.

Just like...

Like what?

It's like when I got sick when I was a kid.

- When my dad made me sick. - Hey.

It's like everything's happening at once.

Just let John help you.

I don't see how training can help.

It's just something that happens.

Just try.

I remember you at law school.

You were good at learning new things.

You're pretty damn good at anything when you want to be.

You've always made me feel like I can do anything.

You can.

You all remember Turner, here.

It was thanks to him we hit that mutie clinic last week.

And he's been doing a real good job

on some of the patient files we found there.

Jace.

According to the files, they were sending a lot

of their patients to a hospital up in Baltimore,

but it turns out, some of 'em never showed up.

The ones with arrest warrants.

You thinking Mutant Underground?

Who else can make mutant fugitives disappear?

There's a station up there, I guarantee it.

- Now... Yeah, so let's haul ass

up to Baltimore and start shaking them trees.

- Boom.

Just listen up for a second.

Please. We need to be smart about this.

These terrorists have stayed ahead of the Sentinel Services

because they work the system.

They use our own society against us.

Court orders, warrants.

One of them scurries into a church,

suddenly they're untouchable.

Now, we don't have those rules.

We can flush 'em out, run 'em to ground, tie 'em up

in a neat little bow for the feds to collect.

So we just start doing their jobs for 'em?

Let me ask you something,

guy who brings a 50-cal to a meeting.

Why are you here?

Why are you all here?

'Cause I think it's for the same reason that I'm here.

You want to make your neighborhood safe again, right?

And I'd say that most people agree with you.

But guess what.

Mr. and Mrs. PTA don't want to be

on the same side as a hate group.

And if you keep running around,

waving your guns, beating up doctors,

that is exactly how people see you.

They see you as a hate group, but if you do this right,

they'll come running to your cause.

Did I miss the part where we put you in charge?

Hey! Settle down.

Here's how it's gonna be:
