Blindspot

Previously on "Blindspot"...

Assistant Director Carter

is missing, presumed dead.

What?

We should probably talk about last night.

There's a park at the end of my street.

Meet me there at 10:00.

We discussed setting

clearer boundaries with Agent Weller.

How's that been going?

Good.

They're scared of you... and they should be.

I have missions for you.

We do this on my terms.

These are your terms.

This is all your plan.

And it's time to get started.

So what now?

Now...

your first mission.

What is that?

It's an exact replica of Mayfair's pen.

How do you know what Mayfair's pen looks like?

Do you have cameras in there?

No, we... we have another way.

I need you to swap 'em

and bring me hers.

So you wipe my memory,

you tattoo my entire body,

and then you send me to the FBI

so I can steal a pen.

What?

You're still... you're still you.

What is it?

A bug? A tracker?

Because I won't betray my team.

It's not a betrayal, it's a pen.

A regular pen.

How do I know that you weren't

holding a gun to my head during that video?

I've never pointed a gun at you.

I know better.

And if you really thought that, you wouldn't be here.

You'd have sent your team.

But you didn't...

because, somehow...

you know that you're not one of them,

that you're just a cog in their machine.

Welcome while useful,

disposable the second you're not.

What about the man at my safe house...

with the beard?

Was he with you?

With us?

Bring me that pen

and I'll give you more answers.

It's gonna get soggy by the time he eats it.

You got to put peanut butter on both sides first

and jelly in the middle.

Oh, sorry, I had no idea you were such an expert on PB&J.

Well, that I am.

So... do you want me to show you?

- By all means. - Okay.

Give me that, watch and learn.

All right...

So, um, I'm gonna be home late tonight.

What's his name?

How about you tell me who you were meeting with last night?

Okay, I didn't think so.

I'm just, uh, giving you the heads-up

'cause Dad's gonna babysit,

in case you wanted to be somewhere else.

We'll be fine.

- Wow. - A bit more.

Is that what they teach you in Quantico?

Now you can make me one, too.

I'm late for work.

Make it yourself.

You are so mean.

Yo, buddy.

You okay?

You lost?

You... you work down the base there?

Let me give you a ride.

Morning.

Hi.

I want to say sorry about last night.

I should've told you that I wasn't coming.

The two of us...

...it's too complicated.

Right.

I was gonna say the same thing.

Okay, I'm glad we're on the same page.

I don't... I don't want things to be awkward.

No, of course not.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I picked up this kid about a half mile back.

He's got an Airborne tat,

but, uh, I don't think he's right in the head.

You think you guys could check him out?

Can you step out of the car, please?

What's your name, soldier?

- Come on. - No.

No, you can't take me.

It's okay, we're here to help you.

You can't do this to us, stop!

Stay where you are, son!

St... Agh! Oh!

Three of the victims were declared dead,

one is in the hospital,

and the shooter is still on the loose.

- Do we have an ID? - Army Sergeant Charlie Napier.

Three tours in Iraq, jacket full of medals.

This is usually Military Police jurisdiction.

I know... these are letter fragments

that are on the back of Jane's left leg

that are divided into quarters and then rotated.

It's like a box of puzzle pieces scattered on a table.

When you fit them together...

We decoded this one already.

But when my team looked into it,

- it was a dead end. - Did we question him?

- We couldn't. - Why not?

Because Charlie Napier died 18 months ago.

Killed in action, an IED explosion in Iraq.

How's a dead man shoot up a military base?

And, more importantly, what's he gonna shoot up next?

What else do we know about this guy?

Army poster child,

enlisted straight out of high school,

sent every penny home

to a single mother to help pay the bills.

Are we sure it's the same guy?

I've run this video through every biometric

recognition scan we've got.

Face, voice, ear... it's him.

Ear, really?

Oh, the ear's a treasure trove.

You don't even want to know what I can do with an ear.

Was this a screw-up or a cover-up?

The IED explosion was pretty gruesome,

so they weren't able to recover a body.

But they ID'd Charlie off of dental and tissue samples.

So some lab made a terrible mistake.

Or someone really wanted him off the grid.

Hey, what are those?

More names.

Four other soldiers, all different attacks,

all KIA, just like Charlie.

So if Charlie's alive,

then these other soldiers could be, too.

Charlie said, "You can't do this to us."

He could be a part of a cell.

Which means there could be more attacks coming.

Why would he turn against his own people like that?

Personal vendetta, institutional grudge, PTSD?

His file didn't list any history

of insubordination or mental illness.

Yeah, but his file also listed him as dead.

Hang on.

Charlie just used the truck driver's cell phone

to call an out-of-service landline.

It's his childhood home.

Does his mother still live there?

No, she moved upstate recently.

Yeah, but if he was off the grid,

he wouldn't know that.

You think he was looking for someplace to lay low?

One way to find out.

Let's move.

Please, please, help! He has a gun!

All right, ma'am, get behind that car.

You stay there.

Reade, Zapata, go around the back.

Me and Jane will go through the front.

This is the FBI. Drop the weapon.

Get down on your knees.

Where's my mom?

What did you do with her?

Drop the weapon and get down on your knees.

Now.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it.

If you can't take it, then ring that bell!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

You're gonna have to move faster!

You don't belong here, princess!

Let's go, ring it!

Ring that damn bell and quit!

Charlie, put down the weapon

and get down on your knees.

Please... I can't go back there.

I won't go back.

Go back where?

- I just want my mom. - Hey!

She's here, Charlie.

Your mom's downstairs.

She wants to talk to you, okay?

So just put the gun down

and let's go tell her that you're okay.
