Quantico

Previously on "Quantico"...

My sister, Nimah Amin, was taken wrongly into custody

for an attack you believe was perpetrated by me.

I love you, Ryan. I just need more time.

See, you can't fight fire with fire.

That's exactly what they expect.

I mean, you gotta fight it with kittens

or mercury or -- or the concept of time.

What was waiting inside that café?

A Russian, the FBI?

I have more emotions than you.

I have them. I'm having one right now.

She really left you?

We will not only rebuild both our agencies from scratch,

but we will combine them.

Cecilia: President Roarke's proposal

of combining and re-branding the FBI and CIA

will apparently require a new amendment

to the United States Constitution.

Clay: A Constitutional convention is an invitation

to rewrite the law wholesale.

We have to make Roarke believe that we're on his side.

When is the convention, Clay?

-100 days from now. -That's when we attack.

So, who wants to be a terrorist?

So, what is wrong with America today?

Oh, um, I --

I-I think that America is a great country

full of o-opportunity...

and, um...

d-diversity?

He couldn't even get through a sentence

without stammering or wandering off-subject.

Did you scare him? You scared the last one.

Hey, if the president wants qualified candidates

for this new intelligence agency,

then we have to be selective.

Remember when you risked your lives to ruin the president?

Well, the country's changed. So have we.

Anchor: President Roarke's term has barely begun,

and he's already seen a huge win.

New Mexico becomes the crucial 34th state

to petition Congress to convene a Constitutional convention,

making it official.

Shelby: Come on. Now is your time

to tell me what you think is wrong with the FBI.

What can we do better?

The president's Muslim registry is now law,

as the country is left to wonder,

"Who is President Roarke?

And what will his Constitutional convention bring?"

Ryan: It says here you've run multiple clandestine ops

in Addis Ababa and Raqqa.

You prepared to run similar ops

with American citizens on domestic soil?

As the convention grows near

and National Security Council member Maxwell Fletcher

rolls out his plan for a new domestic intelligence agency...

We're gonna be here all night.

...Washington insiders are wondering,

"Who's running the White House --

Roarke or Fletcher?" So, anyone?

I wouldn't give these people a badge, a gun,

or my Amazon Prime password.

One guy told me he loved America more than his mom...

and then he asked me out.

Nice.

Would you be willing to go undercover in a hostile country?

And you don't have a problem

with assassinating foreign nationals?

So, that's it? You don't like the lunch room?

You have an opportunity here to be a part of the reinvention

of the intelligence community in this country,

and you don't have a single question?

Delegates are already gathering in Philadelphia

for what, in a mere seven days,

could change the course of American history.

It's been a while.

Too long.

Maybe we'll work together again soon,

as part of this crazy combined Domestic Service Agency.

We're calling it DISA.

I prefer "the SS."

You're here to interview to join DISA, not criticize it.

When we were at Quantico,

we studied the Constitution together.

We learned the lines LE and intelligence can't cross.

DISA throws that all out.

How could you be a part of this?

That is an exaggeration.

"All citizens' rights and privileges

shall not be suspended unless,

when in cases of rebellion or invasion,

the public safety shall require it."

And that's just one of the amendments.

I know them well.

"Rebellion," "invasion." That can mean anything.

That's a blank check for the federal government

to suspend our rights for any reason.

The world has changed, Iris,

and this country has to change along with it.

I've made my choice,

and you've made yours...

clearly.

Excuse me.

Not at all good to see you, Alex.

He is never far away.

Can you blame him?

He's trying to create a new world order.

It took God six days.

He's already failing.

Hey. Any word from our friends at the ACLU?

They kicked it over to Amnesty International,

who did not want to get involved.

They recommended we talk to a Muslim-rights group.

What charge do they have on Nimah?

All she did was pretend to be her sister.

Criminal impersonation is considered

identity theft in Virginia...

and, in this case, espionage.

I don't think we can get her out.

Hey. You okay?

Sure.

Dinner later?

Yeah.

Discerning, aren't we?

Only the best for DISA.

Ah, that name.

I keep forgetting what that damn "D" stands for.

But Peter's the brand guy,

as far as the president's concerned.

Keep up the good work, Hall.

You've surprised all of us.

Hey! Well, well, well.

Look who's shutting this place down. Again.

Oh, come on. Don't make fun of us.

We're in a rut, we're tired,

and this is the only place in town, by the way,

that doesn't water down its drinks.

I'm just glad I never have to eat alone.

All right. I am out.

-What? -Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna stick around for one more drink.

-It's almost last call. -All right.

Good job today.

-Good job. Bye! -Bye!

-Old-fashioned. -I got you. Old-fashioned.

And one of these.

So, what's it like being a strategist

for the only coalition of states saying "no" to the convention?

It doesn't much matter. Roarke has his 38 states.

Still, I wrote a hell of a barnburner

for the New York delegation to give during floor debate.

Why does this feel like a double date all of a sudden?

Oh, my God. It does!

Well, for starters, you're drinking my drink,

which is pretty intimate.

We order the same thing. I don't want to wait.

You hear back from Felix?

Mnh.

Don't take "no" for an answer.

That sounds like girlfriend advice.

And by "girlfriend," you mean "girls who are friends"?

Well, like these two, who apparently had molly for dinner.

- -Uh, no, that's not it.

It's, um...

He doesn't like displays of affection.

Oh. Well, and I bet we could get him out of here faster.

Not yet. I told you.

Okay. There he goes, to follow Miranda.

And that was last call.

-Okay. -

Anyone up for a quick game of pool?

I'll start the coffee. Thank you.

Another late-night SDR.

Thank you for teaching it to me.

Owen: Did the tail follow you?

Mm-hmm. I lost him.

Two days till the convention.

Clay: 48 hours to make sure Roarke doesn't get his DISA

and that the convention doesn't strip

the American people of their civil liberties.

And all we have is us.

The convention is comprised of 50 delegates,

each representing their respective state.

Now, Roarke needs 38 states

to vote "yes" to pass his amendments.

We know 34 of them are in full support

of this amendment and can't be swayed.

Another 12 are firmly against it.

The remaining 4?

That is our battleground.

If we can get them to vote "no,"

the amendment will fail. It's that simple.

We've only got 24 hours to lie, manipulate,

and blackmail these 4 swing delegates into voting "no."

This is our last stand.

All right. Who do you have and how will you break them?
