Quantico

Previously on "Quantico"...

ENGIN is an avionic startup.

The government just signed

a billion-dollar contract with them this morning.

I have feelings for you.

Where are you going?

Goodbye, Shelby.

You ruined the operation.

And you ruined my only chance

to get my sister out of who knows where.

How many people die

if the Collaborators reach their endgame?

We don't know what their endgame is! Exactly.

Now I will, because I'm on the inside.

We transition tomorrow.

Welcome to the team.

I'm not resigning because I believe I did anything wrong.

As no vice president has yet been confirmed,

Speaker of the House Henry Roarke

will take the oath of that office.

It's only a matter of time

before someone sends the FBI

to arrest her and us for treason.

Cecilia: Mr. President, you've been in office

for less than a week,

and during that time,

you've signed more executive orders

than any other administration in history. Mm.

Why?

Well, we have a great deal of work to do.

President Haas left us

with a weak and fractured nation.

And it will take sweeping changes

to stem this tide.

But my administration is up to the task.

Let's talk about the first order --

somewhat controversial.

The "so-called" Muslim registry.

And what's controversial about keeping this country safe?

What exactly is your plan for implementation?

Since you brought it before the House a month ago,

its critics have only grown more vociferous.

And its supporters, as well.

And I would remind you that it passed

before the President vetoed it.

What we need to do, Cecilia,

is clear out the corrupt establishment.

And I brought in individuals like, uh...

...Alice Winter, the former CEO of Greypool,

to be a part of my national security team.

And she's putting together a list of would-be registrants

as we speak.

So, when the Congress...

...passes the registry officially,

we can hit the ground running.

Look, it's the first step in a long road.

Really, I'm just getting started.

You've also passed orders to strengthen the military,

increase border security,

and you've asked Defense Secretary Howell

to draft a memo

on how to defeat the Islamic Front.

Can you talk more about that?

We have never been more vulnerable in this country

than we are today.

We've suffered significant intelligence failures,

both foreign and domestic,

under the Haas administration.

The CIA failed to prevent

an Islamic Front attack at the G20.

And just a few days ago, the FBI suffered an attack...

...in their own backyard.

You have to stop calling me.

And you have to get me out of here. Not possible.

The FBI is doing random sweeps on The Farm

looking for you.

You poke your head up for air,

you'll be thrown in a hole so deep,

no one will find you.

How will you govern differently from President Haas?

President Haas didn't listen to the people.

I do. It's that simple.

And what are the people saying to you now?

They're saying, "Protect us.

Make us feel safe."

For too long,

we've put our faith in corrupt leaders

and a rigged system.

So, how do I fix this?

Well, I have a proposal,

and I'm gonna tell it to you, Cecilia, first,

right here and now.

Really? I'm flattered.

I propose that we follow

the lead of our founding fathers

and amend the heart, mind, and soul of our country.

Are you talking about calling a Constitutional convention?

Yes, I am.

For the second time in this nation's history.

It's time to take our system back,

and be the America I know we can be.

And it will require change,

change today that will lead us to a greater tomorrow.

Thank you, Mr. President.

No. Thank you, Cecilia.

Hey!

Hey, listen up!

The cache disappeared.

Disappeared?

It's gone. All of it.

Been taken offline, I assume by Roarke.

Ryan: And you're telling us because...

you think we're just gonna run in to that bunker

and help you?

I know things have been fractured between us --

Oh, yeah.

Is that what you call cutting out your entire team

and trying to do the job yourself?

How'd that work out? Okay.

Raina?

This team robbed me of a chance to save my sister.

And y-you didn't trust me then.

How can I help you now?

Ra--

It's gone?

All the surveillance information? Owen: All of it.

What, does that mean that it's over?

It means they got whatever they needed

for the last part of their plan.

And we have no idea what that is.

Roarke: No. Well, thank you.

Thank you.

Nice to see you. Pleasure.

Not bad for a first sit-down,

don't you think? It's like you've been

planning for it for years, Mr. President.

Well...

Why did you ask me to come here?

Well, just to let you know you'd be rewarded

for all the hard work you've done.

Due to all your help in the past few weeks,

I'm finally able to reshape our intelligence institutions.

And, as someone who's done time in both,

I think the country could benefit

from your insight and your expertise in that reshaping.

The interview's over, Mr. President.

You can speak directly.

What do you want me to do?

For your own safety,

I think it's best you stay insulated from the how,

as long as you know the when. And?

Well, I'll just say this --

I wouldn't leave town in the next couple of days.

Shelby: It has been hours. Where is she?

SDRs take time.

Especially when you might be watched by the man who carries

the full weight of the United States government

behind you.

She's -- She's being thorough.

Are we putting her in danger by asking her to come here?

We need her.

Oh, thank God you're here.

Hey. You lost your tails?

About an hour ago.

But I still changed cars

one more time outside of Ewell.

We couldn't rally the troops?

Okay. What's going on there?

The cache is gone, as if it was never there.

Any piece of intel, data, pattern, state secrets...

Because whatever they're about to do

is ready to go? Exactly.

Three of us against who knows how many

for the last stand?

Not sure I like those odds.

Owen: She's right. We need help.

Then we get help.

If we can't count on Raina and Ryan,

we find friends that we can count on.

And I was just hours away from a trip to Mexico.

And if anybody I worked with knew I was here,

I would've lost the job I should have lost months ago.

I've just been waiting by the phone.

So this is the bunker?

Only using 24% of the surface space.

Power move.

Miranda Shaw.

We've not formally met.

No.

But I know a lot about you.

Most of it wrong.

Well, I don't know how I feel about being here.

They gave me no choice.

I know.

To be honest,

I had the first good night's sleep

in about 30 years.

I just had to turn off the television.

Miranda: All right, Alex, why are we here?

And how much trouble are we gonna get into?
