Stitchers

Previously on Stitchers...

I told Nina I work in video games,

and she's already wondering why I spend so much time at the office.

So, then you want to go to dinner?

- I can't. - Nina.

You weren't at the university library last night.

It has nothing to do with you.

Then who does it have to do with?

Maybe I should take you off your assignment.

I've put in way too much time grooming Liam to stop now.

I think that Liam has been working with your father.

Camille was trying to get that information out of him.

I don't want you to see Liam anymore.

It's too dangerous. I'll do it.

- Linus? - Dad?

This must be your son. I didn't think you could make it

to sign the medical power of attorney.

We need to talk.

I was created in the form of someone your subconscious trusts.

Hopefully, you'll be predisposed to trust me.

You have a sister.

- What's her name? - Ivy Brown.

- Hello? - Ivy Brown?

Look, whatever you're selling, I'm not interested.

Oh, no, no, no. No, no, I'm not a salesperson.

Um...

My name is Kirsten Clark.

I'm your sister... half-sister. My father's Daniel Stinger.

Ivy?

I know who you are.

- I'm hanging up. - No! No, no, no!

Wait, wait, please.

I'm looking for our father.

Don't call me again.

Hey, you've reached Ivy, leave a message.

Hi, Ivy, it's me again.

Please, call me back.

We're family.

Good morning, this is your captain speaking.

We've begun our descent...

- into Los Angeles International Airport... - Deedee? Hey.

- Where the current weather is a comfortable 68 degrees... - Hey, Deedee?

- And the local time is 7:14 Pacific Standard Time. - Deedee? Deedee!

- What's going on? - Oh, my god, oh, my god.

- Is there a doctor onboard? - Can I get some help?

- Wake up, Deedee, come on. - Help?

- Oh, my god! - Somebody help me!

- I don't know what's going on. - Somebody help us!

- He's not breathing! - Come on.

- What's going on? - He's not breathing!

- He's dying! - Hey, Miss?

- Wake up! - I need help!

- Come on, wake up. - Somebody?

Stitchers - 02x08 - Red Eye

Okay. Okay, we gotta stop.

We gotta stop. I'm gonna be late for work again.

You bust your butt for that company.

They'll deal with it.

Yeah, well, those video games don't code themselves.

These lips don't kiss themselves.

Oh, my gosh, that was so cheesy.

Ignore those texts,

and I'll show you just how cheesy I can be.

Oh, I'm... not quite sure what that means,

but I wish I could stick around and find out.

Oh, come on, it's not life or death.

It's just a bunch of video games.

I'm gonna be late to work. I'm gonna be late opening up the shop,

and I'm gonna risk the wrath of a bunch of uber nerds

to spend some more time with you.

Believe me, I'd rather spend more time with you,

but my boss is intense, so...

You're on-call, like, 24/7. I mean, I get it.

I just miss you.

- Don't freak out. - Hey, no, I'm not.

Okay, look, I miss you too.

Then go in late.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay, I know it's weird,

but I'm dedicated to my job.

And to you.

Okay. You're saying this,

but I... I'm starting to think

you don't really have time for a relationship.

Wha... Don't give up on me.

Okay, look, hey, let's just...

Let's do dinner tonight,

and we'll talk about it, okay?

- You promise? - Yeah. Completely and totally.

Okay.

A plane from New York to Australia with a scheduled stopover in Los Angeles

landed this morning with 12 dead passengers.

Cause of death?

ME's preliminary findings list heart attack.

12 heart attacks on the same plane?

Media's having a field day with this.

Homeland Security, LAPD, and CDC are all scrambling.

A hazmat team swept the plane and it was clean.

Same goes for the passengers and the victims.

Blair believes our program can offer a unique perspective on the case.

So we've received special dispensation

to run point and have first crack at the bodies.

Before the media circus goes off the rails,

we need to figure out how these people died.

Or were killed. It's possible the heart attacks were chemically induced.

Checked and ruled out.

Any connections between the 12 passengers?

None. All strangers

seated in different parts of the plane.

It's very freaky. Where are the surviving passengers now?

Detained.

The authorities can hold the passengers for 24 hours

before either pressing charges or letting them go.

We have until tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m.

Or it's possible the killer walks free.

I'm sorry, can I just play Captain Obvious for like a sec?

We have 12 victims.

There's no way we can stitch into all 12 in 24 hours.

Okay, so how many can we stitch into?

If we don't take any breaks, we can do six.

But which six? By the time we background check them all, time will be up.

- Has to be random. - Okay, hold up, slow down.

I understand the urgency,

but just because it is technically possible

to stitch into six victims in one day,

does not mean Stretch here can handle it.

What is that? Reverse psychology to get me motivated?

No, it's legitimate concern for your mental and physical health.

Cameron is right.

12 people don't just die. If there's a cause, a killer,

this is the only way of finding out.

I can do this.

Any sign that it's too much,

- we pull the plug. - Agreed.

Well, you heard the lady, let's get going.

It's gonna be a long day.

So, when can you hand off Liam to me?

Seriously? You have six stitches today.

How 'bout we get through that and figure it out tomorrow?

Or, how 'bout we get through today?

Are you sure you want to do this?

You guys have major history.

Your old feelings for him could get in the way.

It was the old me that dated Liam, I didn't have feelings for him.

At least, you know, not in the way I understand feelings now.

Oh, Kirsten, I'm not talking about love.

This guy's connected to your dad and was playing you.

I'm talking about revenge.

I can handle it.

_

Well, if we ever wanted to push the envelope of the program, this should do it.

What do you think? We can do this, right?

Dr. Goodkin?

"Dr. Goodkin."

You going all formal on me doesn't help my confidence, Detective Fisher.

There is some logic to stitching into six victims consecutively.

Should give Kirsten enough different perspective

of what went on inside that plane.

That is if we picked the right six victims.

Six out of 12, 50/50 chance.

A Vegas slot machine had those odds there'd be a line around the block.

Never been much of a gambler.

- Sub-bio? - Go.

- Communications? - Go.

- Medical? - Go.

Comm check, Kirsten, one-two, one-two.

I'm here all day, folks.

Mission clock set to five minutes, please.

Induce stitch neurosync on my mark in three, two...

May the odds be ever in our favor... one, mark!

- I'm on board. - Where?

Uh, in the back.

Seat 12D.

There's a flight attendant in the aisle.

- Deedee. - Checking the manifest.

Deedee Willis, she's a victim.

Did we pick her for stitching?

She's being mapped right now.

Sir, please make sure your...

How are the other passengers? Anyone seem sick?

- Or dead? - Or worse?

Uh, the woman in 12C isn't moving.

She's a victim but not a sample.

Her name is April Tuckman, traveling with her husband, Howard.

She's still alive, she's just sleeping.

Uh, there's a guy in the middle of the plane,

he's got the overhead compartment open.

He's looking for something.

Victim number one is on the move.

Suspicious looking lady in 10D.

Suspicious how?

She's working on a laptop,

and she didn't want victim one seeing it as she walked past.

Laptop lady in 10D is not a victim,

but the guy next to her in 10E is, Gavin Baxter,

who's also one of our upcoming stitches.

Victim number one's back in her seat.

Death moment in five seconds.

Kirsten, bounce in four, three...

Good morning, this is your captain speaking.
