Intelligence

Previously on Intelligence...

- What is it? - The Iranians had a novel idea,

to plant sleeper agents in US society.

They're here, lying and waiting like snakes in the grass.

Gabriel went to the hotel and killed those men in cold blood.

What the hell is going on?

You said there were two scenarios. What's the other?

The chip was hacked

and Gabriel was operated remotely by someone else.

Get in.

As of this moment,

Lillian Strand has been removed from her command.

It was Mei Chen. Mei Chen?

She's the one that killed those men and framed me.

It's a trap, Gabriel. She's not alone.

Gabriel!

Where are you going?

They're gonna check all the known safe houses.

There's only one place -- No.

Head west. Take surface streets. I know where to go.

Something tells me it's not a hospital.

Where are we going, Gabriel? Yes, Gabriel, where are we going?

We're almost there. Turn right.

Come on.

Where are we, Gabriel?

Ahh.

This'll be interesting. Shut up and help me!

Gabriel?

Hey, mom.

I need a big favor.

Stay with us, Gabriel.

It's okay, it's okay.

Lucky I still have this. But what you need is a hospital!

Can't go to a hospital, ma. What are you mixed up in, Gabriel?

Can we please talk about this later?

I haven't taken care of a gunshot wound in 30 years,

and there was always a doctor around.

You're not a doctor?

Army field nurse, retired.

This was a great idea.

Please tell me you're good at this.

For your information, I was very good.

Encouraging. Do you ever shut up?

Don't know if you've noticed, but her hands are shaking.

Pour her a drink.

This just gets better and better.

You think this is a joke?

This is my son!

One more crack out of you, and I'll --

Mrs. Vaughn...

We can't do this without anaesthesia.

Otherwise, the pain will --

Hey, Gabriel! Gabriel.

Gabriel! Gabriel!

Well, at least he won't feel it.

Here. Hold this.

I'm in a hospital?

I wish you were in a hospital.

Got it.

Relax.

I just thought this room

might make you feel better, Gabriel.

It doesn't.

What's he saying?

Get out of my head.

Are you rendering with him?

Rendering? What are you talking about?

I'm keeping him calm.

A simple "thank you" would suffice.

I don't know what's going on with you two,

but now is not the time.

Your mother doesn't like me very much.

No one likes you very much.

You and I have so much more in common than you realize --

both lost our fathers.

You lost a brother, I lost a sister.

What do you want from me?

I want you to learn.

...As your president, one step at a time...

What is this?

A last chance to see the truth.

The truth about what?

The people you work for, silly.

I will go where you can't go.

Governor Cameron --

what does she have to do with any of this?

Some say she'll be your next president.

Maybe you haven't noticed,

but I'm a little busy right now trying not to die.

Sometimes I wonder if the chip was wasted on you.

All right, I'll play.

Why do I care about the next president?

I said she could be the next president.

But sadly, governor Cameron won't live that long.

You're gonna kill her?

Oh, please.

I don't work for free.

As you just learned, I'm not the only assassin in town.

Why are you telling me all this?

To prove that you're on the wrong side,

that you're living a lie,

that what I've told you is true,

that the people you work for aren't who they seem.

Someone in your own government hired me to frame you.

When that wasn't enough, they tried to kill you, then me --

just like they'll do to her.

Give me a name.

If I knew who it was, they'd already be dead.

But this one's been very careful.

Why should I believe you?

I don't care if you believe me.

If you do, you'll stop them.

If you don't, they'll kill her.

Either way...

I'm gonna cyber on by for a big fat "I told you so."

Then we'll pick up where we left off.

Time to go back to mommy.

Hey, wait a second!

Wait!

Gabriel? Where's Mei Chen?

Gabriel, are you okay? Gabriel, calm down, please.

You have to find her. Now, Riley!

She's not here.

Mei Chen's gone.

There's gonna be an assassination.

One of our nation's most decorated soldiers.

He's a hero, and now our country's most secret weapon.

Gabriel possesses a rare genetic mutation

that allowed us to implant a microchip in his brain.

We connected his mind directly to the information grid.

It's something the chip does that nobody expected.

I can create a virtual snapshot of an event in my mind

and then walk through it.

It's like a virtual evidence wall.

At U.S. Cyber Command,

we created a highly specialized unit around him...

Satellite in five.

...and assigned an agent to protect him.

Run!

He's the first of his kind --

the next evolution of intelligence.

What the hell happened out there?

There were complications. Complications?

Someone opened fire on my team, and Gabriel was hit.

What's his status?

I wish I knew.

The shooter wasn't one of mine.

So you've said, several times.

This never would have happened in the first place

if you hadn't tried to go behind my back.

What's he talking about?

Lillian arranged for a private meet.

If you hadn't been set up on me, Gabriel, Riley, and Mei Chen

would be with us here right now.

Mei Chen?

Mei Chen was with Gabriel and Riley. How?

She's the one who murdered Colonel Hatcher and Bernard

at that hotel.

She framed Gabriel.

That's what Gabriel claims.

Well, whatever the truth is, we need to find them.

Well, you won't find them -- not now.

Watch me.

Listen up.

Gabriel is now wounded, possibly fatally.

I want you to paper every hospital, E.R.,

and medical clinic.

Now, he was last seen with Agent Neal

and someone you're all familiar with -- Mei Chen.

They just evaded our tac team

and, with that, forfeited any chance at a peaceful surrender.

Force protocol remains echo-foxtrot.

These fugitives are to be considered armed and dangerous.

Jeff, if you're telling the truth

and you didn't order that shot,

that means there's an unidentified shooter out there,

which could prove that Gabriel didn't kill those men in that hotel.

That has to change the force protocol.

We can't be killing our own people.

You authorized me to bring the asset in, Adam.

And I can't do that with her second-guessing every turn I make.

Now, either my orders stand or they don't.

For God's sake, put a stop to this.

Lillian, if a rogue f-16 was headed to the nation's capital,

we'd blow it out of the sky.

Well, Gabriel isn't a fighter jet.

Yes, he is.

And for all we know, he's being piloted by Mei Chen.

Cassidy confirmed that the chip

is vulnerable to an outside influence.

We have no choice but to bring them all down.

Mei Chen was the key to proving your innocence.

She may also be the key

to stopping the assassination of Governor Cameron.

How do we know that it's not Mei Chen that's gonna kill her?

Let me ask you something --

do you think it was our people that took a shot at us?

Lillian?

Absolutely not.

Tetazoo?
