Limitless

- Previously on Limitless... - You've been working for Senator Morra.

- I don't even know who you are anymore. - I was forced into this.

There's stuff you don't know about.

- You better tell me. - I don't take that shot,

I'm not immune to the side effects of NZT.

Huston, can you be willing to testify

to all this in court?

Including that it was Jarrod Sands

that killed my father?

That looks like a yes to me.

Drop your weapon. Now!

Rot in hell, Sands.

My days here are numbered.

I don't know exactly how long the booster shot's gonna last.

Naz isn't gonna risk you taking a pill without it.

You sacrificed your connection to the immunity shot for me?

You can't take NZT anymore.

Okay, so, let's review.

Jarrod Sands...

and a group of five or more other people

are holding Piper Baird, who, as most of you know,

is kind of my girlfriend.

Anyway, Sands is in jail, and he's not talking,

so we don't know who the other members are.

Thus, I have decided that we will refer to them as...

the Legion of... Whom.

- Question. - What? Yes.

Shouldn't it be the Legion of Who?

It... really doesn't matter.

No, actually, Brian's right...

- "whom" is the object of "Legion." - Think about it.

- War! All right,

guys, that's not the point.

Finding out whom they are

is the key to finding Piper, all right?

Uh, but that one should have been "who," right?

Yeah.

The immunity enzyme.

That's how I stayed alive on NZT all that time. That...

is what the legion wants from her.

But it's been a month.

What if she's already given it to them?

Well, she wouldn't; she's a fighter.

What if... she fought...

and lost?

You know what? No more questions.

Brian, didn't you say

you were working the afternoon shift today?

It's not easy to solve crimes after the FBI fires you

and takes your NZT away.

My mom and dad took me back in,

but they said I had to pay rent, so...

Well, that's a good question.

- Why buy the model with the curved screen? - Yeah.

Consumer Reports says it's a complete waste of money.

Well...

I mean, uh...

you're gonna...

add value, maybe.

Maybe not.

B-But probably...

vis-à-vis the, uh...

et cetera.

- You follow me? - Every now and then,

I would have these weird moments of clarity.

But, Gary, is that journalist from Consumer Reports

gonna be there at your house when your friends

come over and see just a regular TV on your wall?

Will he say, "Huh. Gary is usually a cutting-edge guy,

"but in this case, he made a cautious and sensible choice.

"I guess we laud him for being a cautious

and sensible man"?

Let's do this.

Remind me again which TV we're talking about.

But they disappeared as soon as they came.

- Just point it out on the wall. - I guess they were kind of, flashbacks

from taking so much NZT.

Did I think about life after the FBI?

Sure. But mostly because my dad kept asking me about my plan.

Law school?

- Seriously? - Yeah, seriously.

I mean, think about it, I could go to community college,

I could get my grades up.

You're a lawyer. Cameron's a lawyer.

Why not?

Why not?

: Yeah.

Yeah, that's probably the same reason

Oliver Wendell Holmes took the bar. "Why not?"

I had no idea who Oliver Wendell Whatever was,

but my dad had a point...

My heart wasn't really in anything besides finding Piper.

So, before my last pill wore off,

I wrote down everything I could remember about Sands.

So the answers and the names of the other people who are

in the Legion of Whom, they... may be in there, somewhere.

I mean, I'm just having trouble getting at them.

That's what everyone's calling it at the CJC, you know.

"The Legion of Whom."

So you guys do miss me.

Well, it looks no sadder than what we've got.

If Sands is part of a cabal of like-minded criminals on NZT,

we don't know what ties him to them.

And we don't know what their motives are, so...

It makes me nervous.

Yeah. Me, too.

That's why, if we work together...

Look, if you just bring me another pill, Rebecca...

I mean, my immunity shot should still be working,

and if I find Piper, she can make more, just...

Brian...

I can't give you an NZT pill... The FBI doesn't know enough

about that shot, and if something

- happens to you... - I know. I'm a liability. I know.

Look, just... take this, okay?

There should be some valuable information in there somewhere.

I think.

Sure.

- I have to get back. - All right.

We will find Piper, you know?

The people that took her,

they're on NZT, so that's what we're looking for.

There's only so much NZT out there.

She was right... At least NZT

hadn't been on the streets for a while.

But that was about to change.

Just got a whole supply of it in.

From a new source, but I tried it myself this morning,

and it was like, "Damn, Daniel!"

How about a free sample?

- What's it called? - NZT.

It's back...

Breaking news tonight, as a string of recent crimes

have been linked to a new synthetic drug called NZT.

Authorities warn it's as addictive as krokodil

or bath salts, and just as dangerous.

Reportedly, it makes the user believe

they're capable of anything.

NYPD's been chasing reports of erratic behavior

all across the five boroughs.

People are killing each other over this drug.

Authorities are in the process

of running down the drug's source.

: Mexican cartel.

Weed's drying up as it gets legalized,

and they see this as a start-up venture,

their biggest, most lucrative market yet.

The NYPD have linked another crime to this growing trend.

The double homicide of Curtis and Rosie Tanaka,

a husband-and-wife pharmacology team

found murdered in their East Village lab last night.

We're still investigating whether it was premeditated,

but it seems the perp broke into the Tanakas' lab

- searching for NZT. - The Tanakas were making it?

No, no, no, no, no. We have no proof of that yet.

But if they were, if they were at the source of the epidemic,

our job is half done... If they weren't...

then we have to search for who is making it

- and shut them down. - And shut them down.

SAC Pouran. It's been a minute.

Rebecca Harris,

Agent Adam Brewster, DEA.

He's our liaison for this investigation.

Naz and I worked pretty close

the last time this stuff was on the streets.

This time it's worse.

So you guys got blindsided, too.

Well, at least it's confined to New York City.

For now.

I want us all on the same page,

make sure we all have the relevant information

for our own NZT investigation.

The FBI is conducting a probe into Senator Edward Morra

and his former head of security, Jarrod Sands.

We think they may be involved

in the use and distribution of NZT.

Edward Morra? You're serious?

We have a fair amount of evidence to support it,

but... for now, we're just building a case.

We think Sands has been gathering individuals

and supplying them with NZT to form some kind of...

smart-drug-enhanced collective.

We have him in custody, but for now he's not talking.

Hold on.

You're telling me there's a sitting senator

on a Schedule I drug... and his deputy has split off

to create some kind of Brainiac cult.

If you come across anything

that points to Morra, Sands

or this group that they're forming,

we would certainly like to know.

How did you learn this?

We had a consultant... Brian Finch.

He was our expert on NZT.

When you say "was"...

Finch was pulled from the FBI.

There were complications.

So we have people in custody

that we believe are still under the influence of NZT,

so I suggest we start a conversation
