Quantico

My name is alex parrish.

Protecting our country had always been my dream,

But my life took a turn.

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

My father was a special agent.

My mother didn't shoot him.

I did.

Alex: You think one of these people is a terrorist?

We're pretty sure they already were a terrorist

When they got to quantico.

I never thought before I'd save our country,

I'd have to save myself.

No one's gonna believe you're the same person

Unless you match.

Maybe we should have never come here.

This is the only piece of evidence that's real.

Agent asher.

I need to find the truth.

Michael: She's my daughter!

Sita: Get out! No!

Tell her the truth!

For once, sita!

The truth about you?

Aah!

[ andrew mcmahon's "canyon moon" plays ]

Mandatory gun test in 10 minutes.

That's 10 minutes.

Can't stop. Won't stop.

What time is it? What's going on?

Oh, just a little pre-dawn gun test.

I'm exhausted.

You should be, too.

You were up late reading your dad's file again.

I was just going over it one last time before I throw it away.

You're already dressed. You're making us look bad.

And you're making it easy. Hustle.

We have just 10 minutes. Come on. 10 minutes, people!

nimah?

Up and at 'em, people.

Mandatory gun test in 10 minutes.

How's it going? You good?

Great. Better than ever.

Hey, look.

I know that reading that file was rough.

I don't know what I would do

If I found out my dad was a hero instead of a deadbeat.

I feel... You know what?

I wanted answers, and I got them.

Now I have closure. It's behind me.

Next string of fire is from 25 yards.

Got to be faster on the trigger, amin.

I'm missing my morning prayers.

I'm losing complete track of time.

My body's not used to this.

Really?

We've been going at it 24/7 for like a month.

Excellent work, parrish.

You have a perfect target.

Check out alex's target.

It's what you should all be aiming for.

Next team.

Someone's been on their game lately.

And here I thought it would come down

To me and you for top gun.

She's like the terminator.

When we're not in class,

She's at the library, the pool, the gym.

She doesn't stop.

Maybe she's a blue flamer.

That's what they call nats who start raring to go

But crash and burn before the finish line.

No, that's not alex.

At least I don't think it is.

Newscaster: It's been 24 hours since the grand central bombing

And the whereabouts of the prime suspect, alex parrish,

An fbi special agent, are still not known.

Just released a picture of parrish.

They hope this photo will help track her down.

Wouldn't shoot a man with a cherry scone, would you?

I'm so sorry. I'm... I'm just on edge.

Guess you don't need the coffee.

Wow. You've been busy.

So, I tracked down all the information I could

On all the nats in our class.

Simon: That couldn't have been easy.

Did you know paul winters spent time in iran?

And graham nelson married a woman

Whose brother was a chechnyan rebel.

And elias... you know how many fbi persons of interest

He's defended in his law career?

And got most of them acquitted.

You didn't get much sleep, did you?

What we really need is to find a bomb technician

To take a look at this wire, simon.

It's the only thing I have pointing to...

Whoever's framed me.

I might know a guy.

Former idf, now lives in williamsburg.

Y-you think he could figure out where this came from?

I...

Uh, it's work. Let me, um...

clayton: We're sending in esu and hostage-rescue teams.

Keep her there.

Just... d-don't you think that's a little hasty?

Ju... she trusts me, all right? I can get information from her.

Just... Just give me time.

They're already en route.

You'll get a heads-up when they're 60 seconds out.

Do you copy?

Copy that.

Trainee amin.

I've noticed it's just been you the last few days.

Is your sister okay?

Nimah has the flu. I've been doing double shifts.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'll check in on her after...

Oh, no, it's fine. She's much better now.

Amin.

If the stress is getting to her, you can tell me, okay?

Nats get homesick after the first four weeks.

It interferes with their training.

Not to mention the stress of you two

Trying to pass as one person.

Don't worry about her.

This is what she always wanted, remember?

Hey, booth. Good news.

You're going home. I'm what?

Your mission, it's over.

You don't seem relieved.

Well, maybe 'cause I haven't heard the catch.

Alex parrish has been flagged

As an unfit candidate for the fbi.

I don't need your eyes on her anymore.

Just need you to get her to quit the academy.

Quit? Why?

A good soldier knows how to follow orders,

Not question them.

I was told to make this happen. Now I'm telling you.

Alex is at the top of her class.

She's as determined now as she's ever been.

The only way you're getting her out of quantico

Is if you kick her out.

It's in our best interest

That you help her make that decision herself.

And how am I supposed to do that?

You saw her with that file.

Trust me, she's more fragile than you think.

Just give her a push.

Ray: Hostage rescue is, at its essence, a mind game.

Operators need to feel comfortable

Amidst violent confrontation.

They need to be able to storm into the chaos of crisis

And make clear and calm decisions.

Now, ultimately, you will all find yourselves

At the same moment in your careers

Where a split-second decision can save people's lives.

Sometimes you have to make that difficult decision

For the greater good.

This week... We're giving you a taste of what it's like

To serve on the fbi's most elite squad.

We're gonna put you in high-stress situations

To see if you can overcome your wiring

And make the right split-second decision.

We don't want to see what you do on your best day.

We want to see what you do on your worst.

Because when the stakes are this high...

One moment can change everything.

Let's see who you are when it's do or die.

Will you freeze, or will you fire?

Vasquez: Save america militia, sovereign citizen,

Syria, and iraq-based islamic state...

All claiming credit.

Anyone not taking credit at this point?

yeah. Parrish.

Wonder why?

You don't think she did it?

I'm just asking questions.

She put a bullet in you and left you for dead.

Maybe she thought I was the one framing her.

I know. It's crazy, but...

No, it's just sad.

Don't make this into something.

If I was gonna make this into something,

I would ask what you were doing at her apartment

At 6:00 in the morning.

I was clearing the air.

I hadn't talked to her since she found out about us.

It was a mistake. I should have told you.

I'm sorry.

Liam: There's been a break.

Ead's got a lock on alex's position.

He's sending in a team to grab her right now.

There's no point of waiting for your friend to call.

He doesn't like surprises.

Well, I can't just sit here, simon.

And you can't just rush into danger, either.

Look, I'm putting my neck on the line here.
