Quantico

My name is alex parrish.

Protecting our country had always been my dream,

But my life took a very drastic turn.

It all started nine months ago on my way to the fbi academy.

We're committing to life as one agent, one person.

Simon: I have nothing to hide.

Good, then I have nothing to find

When the u.A.W.C. E-mails me back.

Hi, ma. I joined the fbi.

You're on probation.

If you fail out of here, you are out.

I never thought before I'd save our country,

I'd have to save myself.

You could have rigged the bomb to blow remotely.

The bombs... seven...

They had to have been triggered within a two-block radius.

You're gonna tell me how this wire from your family business

Ended up as a part of those bombs.

Clayton: Parrish has taken another hostage.

From here on out, it's shoot to kill.

I need to find the truth.

What I want to know is, who is alex parrish?

They say she's an american.

But what kind of american murders 130 innocent people?

What kind of american hates this country so much

That they infiltrate the fbi to destroy us?

I don't know where she was born... india? Egypt?

But it's time to catch her

And teach her what this country's really about.

You've been pacing for over an hour.

They're going to catch you, alex.

The e.A.D. Is a personal friend. He won't...

Would you please stop talking?

- Why did you do it? - I didn't.

So turn yourself in.

To who? The bureau, where someone's trying to frame me?

You need to turn yourself in, shelby.

The only real piece of evidence points to you.

What, you mean the wire that you found

In the apartment next to yours?

That could point to anyone.

It's military origin, so that's ryan

Or the... the friends that simon made in gaza

Or the cartels that vasquez dealt with

As a cop in texas.

Even caleb could have gotten his hands on it

Through his family.

And if you really are innocent,

You should worry about how guilty you look right now,

Because an innocent person does not take someone hostage.

Even an innocent person needs leverage,

And you're mine.

So you better get comfortable

Because we might be here for a while.

All right, show me something, people.

I know you're tired.

You were supposed to be at p.T. An hour ago!

I'm sorry. I stayed up all night studying what I missed.

You said you'd step it up.

If you can't, this is never gonna work.

I know you've been working hard. I know you're homesick.

Mom, that's enough. I know you don't want me here.

Mom: Well, what do you mean you know what I'm going to say?

Because we have the same fight every single... who's fault is that?

But if you think this is pressure,

Wait until you're out in the field.

Look, if you're just gonna yell, then... you shouldn't have enrolled there behind my back!

Ryan: O'connor knows that I'm on to him.

And he can put the screws to me all he wants,

But he's up to something with alex, too.

I don't know what to do.

Right now, you do nothing.

He already put you on probation.

If he really thinks alex is some sort of threat to the bureau,

I'll find out why.

Simon...

Where did you learn to fight like that?

Hebrew school.

Nope. Just skyping with max.

Your boyfriend?

I'd love to meet him. Get him back so I can say hi.

Oh, well, he, uh... he's...

Fictional? That's what I think, anyway.

Liam: 20 seconds, then you're done.

Shelby: What are you doing here?

I thought you gave up this ghost.

Well, there's no xboxes around.

And I need to do something with my hands.

Unless you got any better ideas.

What if a field counselor sees you?

Then my man tom at the front desk will warn me.

Hey, tom.

We've got a system. You could get kicked out.

Hey, buns and ammo,

I got it under control, all right?

Time. All right, hit the showers.

Class in 10 minutes.

You know what I could go for right about now?

A pepperoni pizza.

Oh, yes.

That was the first thing I ate after I got back from each deployment...

A pepperoni pizza and a beer.

Or six.

The first thing I ate after 10 years in mumbai...

Mmm, a cheeseburger.

You know, a guy told me about a diner about a mile from here.

I bet you they serve a mean cheeseburger.

Except we can't leave campus yet.

Or did you forget about that little rule?

a guy can dream, can't he?

I hope so.

That's about all we can do these days.

You do know your cologne arrives 12 seconds before you?

Well, I don't wear cologne.

So you clearly respond to me on a cellular level.

Does the fbi process restraining orders?

You know, it's my job

To analyze each nat's strengths and weaknesses,

And I think I just found yours. Hm?

It's me.

Field counselor: Haas.

Yes, sir?

Didn't I already warn you about operating a gun on campus?

Yes, sir.

Then why do I hear you're at the range twice a day?

This is your second warning. There won't be a third.

You told them?

No, I didn't tell anyone.

Oh, so tom decided to rat me out

After five days of letting me in, no problem?

If that's the way you want to play it, heigl,

You better watch your back.

Next time, you're not gonna smell me coming.

15 weeks, and then we're all free.

If we all make it.

Miranda: Well, aren't you a sorry bunch?

Usually it takes recruits months to look this exhausted.

You must be doing something right.

Which is why you're getting the night off...

Wow!

Outside of the academy.

Well, not exactly you.

This week's exercise is about going undercover.

Each of you will build a persona of a white-collar employee

At a fortune 500 company.

Now, I know this is not as sexy as the mob.

But in today's state of affairs, it is the most likely scenario.

Those of you who excel

Will get to try out your personas tonight

In a real-life setting to see if they hold.

Agent o'connor?

In everyday life, you know who you are...

The place you live, your career, your religion,

How you were raised.

There's certain things you can change,

But the cake, as they say, is baked.

Undercover, you get a chance to start over.

Control how people see you.

Can you create a person so real

That you convince the world you are who you say you are?

Can you disappear?

Alex: Ryan? Where are you?

I'm here with simon.

Thank god you answered shelby's phone.

What is it? Did something happen?

An order just came down.

From now on, they're not trying to take you in.

It's shoot on sight.

They've sentenced me to death.

We're gonna find the person who did this.

I promise you that.

How?

No one's looking but me.

Alex...

Look, they're getting desperate.

Okay, that's all this is.

I don't understand.

these people know me.

I'm no different than I was two days ago.

For the moment, stay indoors. Stay off the radar.

What if I don't make it?

Look, don't say that, all right?

Alex, don't lose hope, okay? Alex?

alex?

She hung up. Look, we have to move fast.

There's got to be something we can do from here.

Okay, shelby said that the bombs had to have been triggered

Within a two-block radius, right?

So whoever carried out the attack

Needed a reason to be near grand central.

If we find a list

Of fbi personnel on duty yesterday...
