Alphas

Previously on Alphas...

When I first discovered the Alpha phenomenon,

I was a doctor treating a group of remarkable patients,

including my daughter, Dani.

Can you be my partner? A partner?

People fear what they do not understand

or what they cannot control.

Go to sleep.

The government's solution to the problem is Binghamton.

A clandestine prison hospital

where Alphas are confined, and subjected to experiments

without any respect paid to their civil rights or their humanity.

And by our keeping the Alpha phenomenon secret,

we are only following a path,

which I believe can only lead to a war

against a rogue group of Alphas

organized by their leader,

Stanton Parish.

I am calling for transparency.

An end to secrets.

Alphas exist.

They are among us. They are our friends and our spouses.

This is what we have been hiding.

I warned you.

Security! ...that Stanton Parish...

Get him out of here. Get this man out of here. ...so badly wants.

And by sharing this truth, it will become evident that it's time

for everyone to open their eyes, to open their minds and to open their...

I see you've been picking your cuticles again.

I suspect it's this place. Being here, day in and day out,

must be incredibly stressful for you.

I find yoga and meditation particularly efficacious in an environment like this.

What about the drugs? Did they help?

Well, you should try some and see for yourself.

I'm not psychologically unstable.

Natalie, you are deflecting again.

Why are we here, Dr. Rosen?

You know, I could ask you the same question.

I'm here because the government wants me out of the way.

Shelved. For exposing the Alphas phenomenon.

Delusions of persecution.

A classic symptom of paranoia.

I am not delusional, though I am being persecuted.

Lee, you know how this goes.

You can deny your issues,

or you can commit to therapy and maybe I can help.

Oh, please. We both know my fate has nothing to do with these sessions.

Hour's up.

Talked to my boy, Doc. You were right. It was the stuff with the dog.

Oh, I'm glad I could help.

Children mourn differently than we do. Just remember that.

Be patient, and just encourage him to express himself.

We're working on it.

That's your stop.

Yes. Indeed, it is.

Let me get that for you.

You okay, Doc?

No, William. I am not okay.

I've been here eight months. Eight wasted months.

I have important things to do. I...

Patients, clients. I need to get out of here.

Sorry, Doc. Wish I could help.

Alphas? Do you seriously believe in that crap?

World is filled with surprises.

How much longer we got to be here?

You in a rush? Trying to get home to watch Storage Wars?

Tip said sometime today.

Alright, well, this Muzak is killing me. I'm tired of reading deodorant labels.

You can always switch to hemorrhoid cream.

Douchebag.

That would be aisle three, Hicks.

Yeah.

It's on! Cover the exits.

Back corner!

She's an Alpha! She tapped into the cable!

Pull her loose!

Everybody down! This is a robbery!

Surprise! You're not the only one.

Drop it!

I said drop it!

Hicks, cover your ears!

Let's go!

Meg! We're leaving! Uh-huh.

Hicks, get the rest.

Hicks, get 'em.

Take 'em down!

We've got two males heading west on 43rd.

Silver pickup. No rear plate.

Don't take no for an answer

There's no telling where we've been

Because people don't understand, understand, understand

People don't understand

People like me

Standing by 1515 Broadway just east of...

Harken.

Yo, Harken.

What's up, Hicks?

I can't spell worth a crap. What... What is it?

U before E, except after...

You kidding me? You know there's a spell check on that thing.

What, are your adrenals kicking your ass?

You're kind of looking a little pasty there. You know, I mean, for you.

Don't hate. Appreciate. Okay?

Besides, which one of us actually caught someone

and which one of us shot and killed a parking meter?

Friggin' meter had it coming.

Sorry. I kind of screwed the pooch.

Don't blame yourself. You want to blame somebody,

you blame Clay. Some damn intel, please?

Is that too much to ask? You know?

"Hey, freaks, FYI, you might want to bring some earplugs."

Besides, we still bagged one out of three,

which is more than I can say for Clay and his boys.

Take it easy on Clay.

He's a Pittsburgh Pirates fan.

He suffers enough.

That's a self-inflicted wound.

Dude is still in there?

He couldn't get a Girl Scout

to confess her favorite cookie.

So that's Megan Bates?

So look, neurodiversity.

What is that? E-U? U-E?

You have been logging in to that chat room, haven't you?

Helping Alphas, right? That's part of our job.

I'm telling you, there's a lot of people

in that chat room. That got questions.

That chat room is filled with pimply-faced teenagers pretending to be Alphas.

You're probably the only real Alpha on there.

Maybe.

Gary goes on there sometimes.

Really? Mmm.

Has he logged in lately?

His mother left a voice-mail yesterday saying,

uh, he stopped calling. Nothing for two weeks.

No, I haven't heard from him.

Should have never let Clay assign Gary to the NSA.

Well, it's not like we had a choice.

Look, I'll rattle their cage,

remind them to let him call home.

Come on. What are you doing? No. No coffee.

What are you doing? Come on.

Whoa.

You drop dead of a heart attack, and I'm on my own.

We're a team.

Look, I hate to break it to you, but without Rosen, there is no team.

Rachel.

Daddy. So loud.

It's a beautiful day.

You haven't left the house in months.

You quit your job, you move back home. Fine.

But hiding in your room?

Jumping at every sound?

Rachel, don't tune me out.

Please, Baba. I'm just tired, okay?

Hey. I found you a new therapist. No.

Rachel, he can help.

Baba, there's only one person that I've ever trusted, and he's gone.

So, please. Okay?

I just want to rest.

Have a wonderful day, now. And that's an order.

They say there's no such thing as Alphas! But I know.

Alphas control the world! They're everywhere!

- Alphas control the world! - Hey.

- They put thoughts into my head. - Back off.

Terrible thoughts beamed into my brain. You.

You need to stop talking.

We don't use beams.

Taxi!

Taxi!

Excuse me.

Let's share a cab.

It's the wife.

The phone doesn't work inside. I'll catch up.

Come on.

Hicks, what are you doing? You're not supposed to take that off.

Let her have some fresh air.

This is Binghamton.

No, not just Binghamton.

Nice girl like you gets the upgrade.

Building Seven? You think I'm scared? Go to hell. Traitors.

Nice. That's why you're not supposed to take that mask off.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Please wait here while I get her transfer papers.

I hate this place.

Yeah, well, it's part of the job.

Just hold your nose and think about that government dental plan.

Jamming pacifier chips in the back of people's necks?

That's not the job.

That's Night of the Living Dead.

What else are we going to do? These people are violent. And they have abilities.

Lethal abilities. So at least this is humane.

Humane? Like the SPCA? Alphas are rabid dogs now, is that it?

Megan Bates and her crew pulled off

fifteen armed robberies, left five people dead.

Now, she definitely belongs down here.

All of these people down here have...

Gary? It is Gary. Gary!

Guard!
