Quantico

Previously on "Quantico"...

After what I just found,

your help will be invaluable.

So if you know right now that what I've been doing here

is a carefully curated falsehood, I'd appre...

You need to drop this! For your own good.

Your friend who died... What was his name?

Elliot.

An operations meeting, and we're on the outside?

Don't read too much into it.

You've been selected.

Take this phone. Tell no one.

There's an emergency NYPD bunker underneath this block.

Your plan worked. Thank you, Nimah.

I just want to make sure nothing's changed.

We're still us.

I'll give you the drives! Her name is Lydia Hall.

She has her cellphone.

If you turn off the jamming signal you can trace her.

What's going on?

It's called a rescue mission, love.

I think we lost them.

Did you recognize anyone?

- No. - So we're safe here?

Uh, we aren't safe anywhere.

She's still bleeding bad. We need to do something fast.

This should do for now.

You take the arm, you take the leg.

All right, Dayana.

Aah. Aah!

This is not right.

This is not how you tell me

that you're dropping a four-star general on me.

How about I tell you face to face?

General Richards.

Deputy Director Shaw.

So what brings the head of the U.S. Northern Command

to the FBI?

What brings the FBI

to need the U.S. Northern Command?

- Hello? - Hey, it's Alex.

I got the cellphones turned on.

Did you see?

Yes, but the phones were only on for a minute.

Most were in the building with the hostages,

but there's one signal coming from 28 Liberty.

Even after the phones shut off again,

it stayed on.

Our working theory is that it's some sort of receiver

for their biological weapon,

something that allows the terrorists

to activate it remotely.

So, if someone on the inside disables the weapon,

- then the FBI can move in. - Exactly.

If you could disable the weapon...

You could have some leverage.

Okay, we'll do it.

Wait, "we"?

You have people with you?

People you trust?

Well, I don't know about you,

but I've been waiting all week for this.

I think it's mine.

Yeah?

Delivery.

Are you alone?

I will be.

Alex, you're here.

Yes, I am.

And it's clearly not part of the plan.

Why are we having separate meetings

with our handlers now, Nimah?

And where's Shelby? I've barely heard from her.

The mission's evolving,

and it's not my place to say anymore.

As far as Shelby's concerned, I'm sure you'll connect.

- But now I need... - You need me to go.

Bye.

Bye.

Multiple tours in Afghanistan

and harrowing years at the FBI,

yet you still flee conflict when it comes to Alex.

Do we really have to keep this from her?

Until you're told otherwise,

your recruitment by the AIC must stay between us.

Anything new on that brick of yours?

Not since I woke up next to it.

Maybe I failed some test without knowing.

I don't know.

They will contact you.

And when they do,

you must do exactly what they ask you.

It's the only way to rise up

and find out who's at the heart of it all.

You can't be the only one who's been chosen.

Well, Sebastian's near the top of my list.

Something changed in him

ever since the torture scenario last week.

He seems haunted.

Oh, 5:59 on the dot

every night this week.

Sebastian, if you're gonna sleep in Leigh's old room,

why don't you just move down there?

What about Dayana Mampasi?

The front runner.

Torture brought out a darkness inside her.

And it's only a matter of time before that darkness comes back.

And if I've seen it, Owen Hall has, as well.

You haven't asked about León.

I have my own intel on him.

Are you gonna see your family for Thanksgiving?

I'm not sure.

I thought you were close with them.

That doesn't mean I want to see them.

Every Thanksgiving, it is the exact same thing.

Two hugs, two bourbons,

and a two-hour tirade on the state of America.

Everyone disagrees with their parents.

It's a little bit more than that with us.

My father's a judge.

He's textbook law and order.

Last year, he called me an extremist

just because I told him I was a member of the NRA.

I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything wrong with being a patriot.

All Americans should have the right to defend themselves.

So you have a gun?

You don't?

What about London spy?

Hall knows that he's here for MI6.

It's unlikely.

He wouldn't want to risk a foreign government

finding out about him.

Okay, so in the pursuit of the AIC,

you burgled your way into Owen's home,

you found burner phones and an air-gapped laptop,

and you think that means

he's an insurrectionist of the highest order?

This is a real organization.

I can't tell you how I know,

but you need to start trusting me

the way I'm trusting you.

Okay, and Ryan?

Do I need to trust him, too? Because he's not here.

What about you, Harry Doyle?

Where's your partner?

Oh, no.

MI6 does not do partners,

and I prefer it that way.

It allows me to focus more.

Now, come on, let's just focus back on you now.

Let's talk about those phones.

Why don't you just ask the advice of your handler,

Shelby Wyatt?

I haven't heard from Shelby Wyatt for a while.

Are they freezing you out?

No? Okay.

I'm sorry. It's just a thought.

Uh, I will, um...

I will do some digging

during the break on my side of the pond

and see if I can come up with anything to do with your AIC.

In the meantime,

do find out what's happening with your handler.

I would hate for you to be gone when I come back.

I do quite enjoy you.

Look, today's the last day before Thanksgiving break.

I'm gonna try my best to get more information,

but everything's about to get put on pause.

I know, but we're not done yet.

And you're not gonna like what I have to say.

What's all that?

Why? You still worried about my work as an instructor?

No need.

Even I can handle our work today.

You're still mad about what I said last week?

I get it.

But it was for your own good.

And what would I do without you here protecting me from myself, huh?

You'll find out soon.

They finally granted my request for another tour.

I'll be out of here next week.

If you think it's possible

for us to spend some time together,

not on your crusade against the people who burned you,

I'll delay it.

The toughest lies are not the ones we tell ourselves,

but the ones we tell those we love

to keep them out of harm's way.

I kept my career a secret from my daughter,

- and I kept up that lie until she was... - 20.

Five years later, I returned the favor.

Spinning tales to loved ones

about where you are and who you are,

it's a challenge you'll all have to face.

Which is why

before you go home for Thanksgiving,

you'll create a cover story...

That can hold up in the real world

when you're done here.

Prove to us you can make up a lie
