Сезон 1 | Эпизод 11 | "Undercover"
(Под прикрытием)
Two men restock a vending machine. One of them
says that he had a date. They see a man with a red bag pack and
realize that he is the one that they are looking for. The men announce
that they are undercover police and chase after the man. The man
shoots at the police while running towards the rooftop of a building.
One of the officers shoots the man after he takes his hand out of
his pocket.
Meanwhile, Cal has dinner with Gillian and her
husband Alec. Gillian drives off. Alec says that he needs to work
late, but Cal doesn't believe him. Cal follows and sees him meet
with a blonde girl. Cal approaches Alec and Alec says that the woman
is named Christine. Christine says that she is one of Alec's friends.
Cal gets a text to go to the mayor's office.
Cal finds an angry mob in front of the building.
A police officer meets with Cal and Ria and brings them inside.
The officer says that two men shot a man named Andre. The officer
says that two officers, Eric and Adam, were involved in the incident.
Cal talks to the detectives. They tell Cal that
the shooting was justified. Cal watches the interview video and
tells the officers their statements seemed rehearsed. He says that
he thinks Eric is lying to him while the other seems like he is
telling the truth. Cal says that he is not sure what happened on
the roof. After Cal leaves the mayor's office, he is photographed
by an unknown man in an SUV.
Ria goes home to her boyfriend Dupree. Ria listens
to a message from Eli. She tells Ria that Eli did something that
might get him fired and she is helping him. Dupree says that real
friends don't ask their friends to cover for them.
Gillian says that Eric seems like he has post-traumatic
stress. Cal says they need to do a psych analysis of the officers
involved.
Cal and Gillian tell the team that they are being
sued by a man who was a victim of a ponzi scheme that they helped
investigate. Eli meets with Ria alone and tells her that they have
to hide the truth from the investigators. Eli says that they need
to hide what he did in order to save the institute. Ria says that
she hasn't lied enough to be good at it.
Cal meets with Andre's dad at the hospital. He
says that Andre smokes on the roof because he is not allowed to
smoke in the apartment. Cal sees that Andre's brother is hiding
something. He tells Cal that Andre had a gun to protect himself.
The FBI approaches Cal and tells him to get in
his car. The agent tells Cal that Eric is actually an undercover
agent. The agent says that Adam is part of a domestic terrorist
group. The agents tell Cal that they need to back off his investigation.
Eric says that the terrorist group might harm many people. Cal asks
Eric if Andre had a gun when he shot him. Cal sees that Eric is
lying.
Cal and Gillian talk about Eric. Gillian says that
they should back off the investigation. She says that she wants
to prevent another attack. Cal gets a text. Cal goes back to the
office and learns that Andre was photographed robbing a store. Eli
tells Ria that the investigators want to talk to her. Ria becomes
nervous before the interview starts. Wexler, the investigator, tells
Ria to just tell the truth.
Cal examines the photo of Andre. Cal tells Eli
that Andre shows no emotion. Cal figures that the photo was fabricated.
Cal meets a friend named Owen with from the FBI
and asks him if there is a terrorist group that the FBI is investigating.
Owen says that the terrorist group is real. He says that he read
that the group plans to blow up buildings. He says that he should
back off the investigation.
Eli is interviewed by the investigators. Eli leaves
the interview feeling confident that he wasn't caught in a lie.
Cal sees Gillian meet with Christine. She says that Christine is
just an acquaintance.
Cal meets with Andre and asks him if he owns a
gun. Andre says yes, but he threw it away. He says that he didn't
have the gun when he was on the roof. He says that he only had cigarettes.
Cal tells Gillian that he doesn't think that Andre was armed when
Eric shot him. Gillian says that she is worried about the FBI investigation.
Cal says that they need to protect the victim in this case.
Dupree goes to the Institute and asks Eli to give
Ria a pair of tickets. Dupree sees that Eli covered for Ria. He
tells Eli that he told Ria not to cover for him. He says that Ria
has a lot to lose.
Gillian tells Cal to turn on the TV. They see a
group of protesters complain about the treatment of Andre. Cal asks
Gillian about Adam's emotions during the interview. They watch an
interrogation with Adam and a neo-nazi and see that Adam has contempt
for the suspect. Cal meets with the FBI and tells them that he doesn't
think Adam is working for the terrorists. He says that he thinks
one of their agents has gone rogue.
Eric is brought into the Institute's interrogation
room. Cal tells Eric to talk him about spies. He says that he is
a spy that spreads bad information. Cal says that he doesn't think
that Eric is working with the terrorists. Cal tells Eric that he
thinks he is desperate. Cal tells Eric that he knows that he had
a daughter that was a soldier. He says that he knows that his daughter
was killed by friendly fire. Cal says that he can understand his
anger. Eric says that his daughter deserves the truth. Eric says
that the government lied about everything.
The agent tells Cal that Eric gave up more sleepers
who were working as EMTs. Cal meets with Adam. He tells him that
Eric found out Andre was only carrying a cell phone, so Eric planted
a gun on him. Adam tells his captain to tell Andre he is sorry.
Eric is arrested.
Later, Cal asks Eli to meet with him in his office.
Eli admits that he lied to the investigators. Cal says that the
lawsuit was a test. He says that he wanted to test if Ria was going
to be loyal. Cal tells Eli that he can continue to work for him,
but only as an unpaid intern.
Gillian tells Cal that Christine is Alec's sponsor.
She says that Alec had a drug problem then relapsed. Gillian tells
Cal that she knows he thought Alec was having an affair. Gillian
tells Cal that they should not use their abilities to look into
each other's lives.
Although Christine is Alec's sponsor, I think he
is still having an affair with her. Alec was secretly running away
from both Gillian and Cal. If this is true, I would be disappointed
if Gillian doesn't know.
I thought that the internal investigation was not
believable. I don't think a business would waste so much resources
just to test an employee's loyalty. I think if Cal really had 'abilities,'
he would be able to figure out that Ria was loyal without the need
to spend money on actors and equipment. If Eli returns to work for
Cal, it would diminish the believability of the show. I doubt that
anyone would willingly work for a repulsive person like Cal for
free. If he wanted to do more good, he should volunteer for Habitat
for Humanity.
