Suspect Amos Garcia has been classified
as a potential extremist.
His threat level against the Bureau has increased.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Hey.
You're kidding me.
What are you doing here?
I was hoping you could tell me.
No, I mean, this isn't... isn't my case.
- Hi. - It's not mine, either. Hi.
Huh.
Of all the agents, they choose us?
- After all this time? - Yeah.
Can't just be random, right? There's got to be a reason.
- You expecting anyone else? - No.
Amos?
Amos Garcia? This is the FBI.
Not only are we now one of the greatest countries on this Earth,
we are now also one of the safest.
Not only are we now one of the greatest countries on this Earth,
we are now also one of the safest.
Not only are we now one of the greatest countries on this Earth...
You think this was left here for us?
How could he have known we were coming?
The greatest countries on this Earth,
we are now also one of the safest.
Not only are we now one of the greatest countries on this Earth,
- we are now also one of the safest. - _

Hey, you know, you can't just stop like that,
- in the middle of the road. - Sorry.
Who are you?
Why? You think I look too old?
Too old for what?
- To be your classmate. - Oh.
No, I don't think you look old at all.
I'm-I'm Ashley Poet, but everybody calls me Poet.
I'm Murphy. I'm a cop.
- Or was a cop. - Hmm. Makes sense,
since you pulled me over.
Uh, well, old habits, I suppose.
12 years, Salt Lake City.
- What about you? - I was a nurse.
Oh, my God.
Is your heart just about to burst with pride?
You get ne rvous around new people, don't you?
You try to be funny, but it just ends up sounding obnoxious,
and then you're left scratching your head,
wondering what went wrong.
Well, you want to know what I think?
I think we're about to have one of those friendships
that starts off really bad
but then gets really good.
Hello?
Hey. You okay?
Four of us share this bathroom.
They call us "suitemates,"
as in we're "en suite" and "roommates."
I can't be in a place that calls people suitemates.
Right.
Is this really about the doors?
I have $12.50 to my name.
I spent the last of my money on the flight here,
'cause I thought if I could make it to the Academy,
it would all be okay.
Our food is paid for, a place to sleep...
Well, we do get paid to be here.
Our first check arrives in, like, a week.
We have to buy our own uniforms.
I think they give us our own uniforms.
They don't even give us coat hangers.
I can't go to our induction class the only person without a uniform,
explaining why I don't even have the money to buy a pair of pants.
Well, I mean, I-I could lend you the money.
I wasn't asking for a loan.
Yeah, I know you weren't.
I shouldn't be here.
What if I...
told you that I-I need you to stay?
You don't know me.
No, but...
I will.
Everything you do for the next five months
will be evaluated.
Not just the classes,
not just the instruction and tests.
The small stuff.
Who do you sit next to at breakfast?
What time do you go to bed at night?
We have 300 million Americans to protect
and only 13,000 agents to do it with.
So we need to know you better than you know yourselves.
My name is Drew.
I'll be one of your counselors.
I'm Gabriel.
I'm the other person trying to figure out
the mystery of who you all are.
The FBI's first ever New Agent Class. 1935.
Do you know what was special about this class?
Nothing.
Except that they were the first.
I've spent most of my career teaching
because I believe I could play a bigger role in here
than I could out there.
I've had good classes.
I've even had a few great classes.
But I never had an exceptional class.
I'm running out of time,
so I hope that class is you.
We want each of you to stand up
and say something about yourselves.
Let's start with you.
My name is Daniel Lennix.
I was a lawyer,
and I thought, this is my father's profession
and his father before him,
but it is not mine.
So joining the FBI is a statement of your identity?
That's-that's not what I meant, sir.
Well, I'm glad we could be of service, trainee Lennix.
You may sit down.
How about you?
My name is Hour Nazari.
My parents were born in Iran.
My father was an academic in Tehran.
Um, my mother was an accountant.
Why did they move here?
He was arrested by officers
from the Ministry of Intelligence.
What was he arrested for?
Carrying a backpack of books on the Soviet Union.
Um, for two weeks, they interrogated him.
"Why are you reading these books?"
He told them, um, he was a history buff.
In the third week, they tortured him.
When his answers didn't change, they let him go.
After that, my parents sought asylum here.
How about you?
Uh...
I'm Tayo Michaels.
I'm 30 years old, and I worked in insurance
before applying to the Bureau.
What made you change careers?
This is gonna sound nerdy, sir.
No, trainee, I'm-I'm interested.
Tell me.
Okay. I...
discovered that premiums vary 60%,
depending on who the assessor is.
Exact same circumstances, 60% difference.
And as I sat in my nice office, with my nice ergonomic chair
and my very nice six-figure salary,
I just... thought to myself that...
this isn't the kind of injustice
that I want to spend my life fixing.
How about you?
You're next.

"There once was a poor farmer" "who lived with his sick wife."
"Their clothes were rags"
"and their stomachs ached."
"Their land was so barren, they could hardly grow"
"enough food to eat."
"One day, the farmer was so desperate"
"he cried out..."
"'Please help me. My life is so hard.'"
The FBI are here.
They want to talk to you.
The FBI?
Can I finish the story?
He's the suspect.
His brother is a patient here.
We're told you're close to him.
His name is Alfie.
We tried speaking to him.
Just started screaming.
We were wondering if you might have more...
success.
His brother's never visited here.
What do you think he could know?
It's probably a waste of time.
I'll do it.
Just not here.
He's... he's coming.
He's coming to get me.
He's-he's-he's...
You ever thought of joining the FBI?
No. I haven't.
We're looking for different kinds of people,
outside of law enforcement.
How's that going?
Will you think about it?
Maybe see it as a chance to stop people being harmed,
rather than helping them afterwards.
As a student of the FBI Academy,
I devote myself to the pursuit of truth and knowledge.
I subscribe to the highest standards of honesty,
integrity, fidelity and honorable behavior.
I subscribe to the highest standards of honesty,
integrity, fidelity and honorable behavior.
Sir, may we bury it?
Okay, Nathan, we can do that.
How do you feel, Nathan?
Better, sir.
Trainee, what do you think of all this?
I think it was a very kind gesture, Nathan.
Trainee? Any thoughts?
No, I thought it was a really nice thing to do.
I guess we're done. Class dismissed.
Nathan, I want to talk to you.
Hey. What did you really think?
I think that his bags will be packed
by the time I get back to our room.
No, they just swore him in. They're not gonna kick him out already.
We'll just have to find out.
- Hey. - Hey.
Guess I was wrong.
He wasn't even allowed to pack his own things.
They sent two people to pack it for him.
- You saw it all happen? - Oh, yeah.
Look.
Left something behind, though.
It wasn't a bird he was burying.
I'm so glad we're in the same class.
So am I.

We have reports of gunfire coming from inside this apartment.
No gunfire here, Officer.
Do you mind if we take a look around?
I'll check the back.
Hey.
You okay?
Hey, can you get under the bed and hide for me?
Yeah?
Good. Okay, stay there.
I'm not trying to play both...
What are you talking about?!
Yo, yo. Wait, wait, wait. Hold up!
Code 3, shots fired. Officer in need of assistance.
What'd you hear about this department before you joined?
I heard it was corrupt.
Yet here you are.
My life didn't turn out the way I expected.
Bullshit.
There are plenty of jobs.
Why aren't you selling shoes?
I'm a police officer.
You're a small-town cop.
Why'd you move here?
- Because... - You like girls? Or boys?
- That's no ne of your business. - Ha. Girls, then.
So, you move to the big city.
No friends, no family.
What? Think we didn't rake over your pitiful personal life?
I know you did.
I've seen them following me.
They're not very good.
You got one more chance.
You either give me an answer that I find acceptable,
or you go back home.
Why are you here?
I wanted to be a part of something.
He was a snitch.
For the FBI.
You sent me there to see if I knew him?
And you didn't.
Welcome to the family.
The undercover operation Blue Score began nine months ago.
It took three months for them to invite me to join their family.
I have been in this family ever since,
collecting information.
How did you record their conversations
when they were so paranoid about being infiltrated?
Well, he didn't trust me, but he trusted my gun.
So, why did you succeed
when every other undercover agent failed?
I never tried to fit in.
I... I didn't pretend to like them.
She played hard to get.
We're done here.
They want to make a big show of this bust.
They want you there, when they make the arrests.
At the precinct?
Well, I ca... I can't go back in.
That's-that's not how it's done.
They're your orders.
_
While you were undercover,
you refused to check in with your psychiatric evaluator?
If you're playing a role, it's easier not to talk about it.
And w-when you applied to join the FBI, you were engaged?
Mm-hmm.
Was that your last serious relationship?
No, there was one other.
What happened with the engagement?
We were living together,
making plans for the future, and I...
I told him about applying to the FBI.
And he said he was proud of me. "Go for it."
And in the midst of my application,
um...
there was the spousal interview.
- Right. - Right, and they, um,
they asked him if he would be open to relocating,
um, depending on where I was stationed,
and he said no, so...
So the FBI halted my application.
Did he understand the consequences of his answer?
Yeah.
I mean, I had been very clear.
Well, why do you think he said that?
He didn't think I'd make it that far.
So you left him.
Well, what other choice did I have?
You could've stopped your FBI application.
This wasn't about me choosing between him and the FBI.
You know, he... revealed himself.
He let me down.
And if the FBI should ever let you down?
We'd have a lot more to worry about than my broken heart.
Broken hearts are worth worrying about, too.
Management teach you to work those stairs?
Oh, you think I staged my entrance?
You chose the location, you're five minutes late.
Huh.
Congratulations.
The biggest police corruption bust in the Bureau's history?
Thanks, I guess.
That must've been tough.
I find what you do tough.
Oh, yeah?
What do I do?
What, you don't know?
I like to be reminded.
You do the big decisions.
Are you making fun of me?
You used to like it once.
Or was that before you became
Associate Executive Assistant Director?
Right now, we are talking like old friends,
reminiscing after all these years.
What are we doing?
There's a reason you were at those arrests.
I gave the order.
We knew it would be rough.
Wh... It wasn't rough, it was dangerous.
We wanted to create the impression
that you'd burnt out.
Assign you a desk job.
Have you attend psychiatric evaluations.
- This is my cover? - It is.
What's my assignment?
Right here, inside the FBI.
We'll be in touch.
Missed you.
You, too.
Why are you standing outside?
I don't know.
You're ridiculous.
So, I arrived,
um, after, you know, 11 months undercover.
It doesn't feel real.
You know, there's nothing in the cabinets.
There's no one there waiting for me.
They're like tours of duty.
I don't know how many more I can take.
The Bureau talked to me.
- About what? - About you.
They asked whether you could work with me,
to transfer over.
You didn't know?
Mm-mm. No.
I think it's a great idea. Not as a favor.
We'd be lucky to have you.
It's the world's most powerful criminal database.
I'd love to know what you make of it.
And this is an exciting time.
I...
I'd love you to be part of it.
Why didn't you tell me?
I wanted the surprise to be real.
- We don't spy on our own. - Sometimes we have to.
This is one of those times?
Hour's work could fundamentally change the way the Bureau operates.
Tell me this isn't because her parents are from Iran.
No, come on, Poet. It had nothing to do with that.
If you have concerns, talk to her.
This is bigger than friendships, okay?
We need someone on the inside of her operation.
It's not gonna be me.
Then we'll find someone else.
Wouldn't you rather it be you?
Sometimes I forget why we broke up,
but you always fucking remind me.
Hey.
Am I... am I disturbing your work?
Not at all.
I had an idea I wanted to run past you.
- Sure. Go for it. - You know Evans's wife
is staying at the motel in Triangle?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you mentioned it.
He's going back and forth from the base to the motel.
He's not hanging out with us as much as he'd like,
so, I thought maybe we could
all have a meal together this weekend?
Yeah, in-in Triangle?
There's a Mexican restaurant,
quesos, two and half stars on Yelp.
Wow.
I think it's a good idea, too.
Great. I'll, uh... I'll make the reservation.
Can you talk to Tayo?
Yeah. I don't know if he'll come, but I'll try.
- Okay. See ya. - All right.
Nothing is gonna happen.
It's already happening.
So was your family disappointed
you didn't become a lawyer?
No. No, they, uh...
- Here you go. - Thanks.
My, uh, parents figured with a little bit of...
public service under my belt,
they could line me up to run for senator.
Wow. Is that really how it works?
Yeah. Right now, my parents are doing the math
on how many extra votes I'll get
if I take a bullet in the line of fire.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah. How about you?
Um, I... I never met my dad.
Though I'm told he was a really nice guy,
right until the day that he left.
Did you ever try to find him?
No. No, he's not a mystery that I'm...
that I'm interested in solving.
- Oh. - Mm-mm.
No, my mom raised me on her own.
You know, she was kind of my mom, my dad, my best friend.
Hmm.
Well, she must be very proud of you.
Yeah, she was. She passed.
I'm sorry.
I was 18. I was...
I was out of the house, I was in college.
Um... she had a nervous breakdown.
It was...
It was almost like she was...
carrying me on her back.
And when she, you know, got me over the finish line,
- she collapsed. - Hmm.
She was in and out of hospitals until the end,
and... I think it's why I became a nurse.
Like, to pay back the debt that I owed her.
But?
I just never felt close to her,
you know, in those hospitals.
And when that agent just showed up out of nowhere
and asked me if I wanted to join the FBI,
I, uh...
Like, I don't know. It felt like she was talking to me.
Like, um...
she was telling me she didn't want me in the hospital.
Oh, my God. I sound so mystical, don't I?
No.
Poet and Lennix are going to be married within five years.
- Poet and Lennix? - Mm-hmm.
Okay, I'll take that bet.
- Oh, yeah. - Okay, you are crazy.
- Oh, yeah, I'll take it. - It's inevitable.
Yeah, but Poet is too busy looking after everybody else
to be looking after herself, so...
Yeah. You may be right.
I am. I am definitely right about that.
What about you?
- Hmm. - You got your eye on anybody?
- No. - No one?
No one.
What about you?
Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm-I'm... I'm never getting married.
- What are you talking about? - It's never gonna happen,
and I-I've made peace with it a long time ago.
- It's just not... - Okay.
The people who say they're never gonna get married
are always the first to be swept off their feet.
Oh, my God. It's... That's not me.
- I'm not... - I guarantee it.
Um, hey, everybody,
um, thanks for coming tonight.
Lennix for putting this all together.
Um,
I'm not really one for, uh, speeches, obviously.
Um, so a toast to Class of '09.
Class of '09.
Cheers.
Why do you have your car here?
Uh, because I drove to Quantico.
Oh.
From California.
Yeah, the whole way.
You, uh, didn't want to be seen arriving
on an airport minibus?
No.
Not enough romance to it, huh?
There's no romance to it.
- Hey, I got the chariot, okay? - Thank you.
- You're welcome. Yeah. - Do you want to sit...?
Actually, I'm gonna... I'm gonna ride with them.
- What are you doing? - It's a tight space...
Hey, there is... there is no space
- in that car for you, okay? - No. Come.
Go.
Mm-hmm.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will come to order.
Director Michaels,
you're nearing the end of your ten years
as director of the FBI.
The question for this hearing
is whether it's right to extend your term.
I've overseen one of the most radical changes
to the way that the Bureau operates.
I've integrated groundbreaking technology
into our investigative process.
Artificial intelligence that misses nothing
and judges everyone as equals.
And as a consequence,
we have all enjoyed one of the steepest periods
of criminal decline that this country has ever seen.
We can now say that not only are we one
of the greatest nations on Earth,
we are also one of the safest.
Director, if the system is so great,
why do you need five more years?
Progress...
is like a child, isn't it?
You must protect it.
You must... keep your arms around it.
And that's why I'm here.
Good to see you, Poet.
It's good to see you, too.
What brings you here?
I was sent to arrest Amos Garcia
without any idea why.
Wasn't working on his case.
And then I found out that you had requested it?
That's true. I sent you there. You and Murphy.
Why?
Amos... is unwell.
Mentally, physically.
He has become a very dangerous man.
He has ideas on you, and he has ideas on me.
Where is he now?
That's the thing. We don't know.
Am I being followed?
You're being protected, Poet.
Computer, restore lights.
Computer?
Take off your mask slowly.
It stops cameras from tracking me.
Amos, what are you doing in my home?
You were in my home.
I know where your career began. I know where it ended up.
- Where is that? - As the puppet of a justice system
you no longer understand.
I'm going to cuff you now.
I'm not going to hurt you.
The dream was to help agents arrest people
for crimes they'd committed,
not to arrest them for their thoughts.
Law enforcement
has surrounded this apartment.
An arrest is imminent.
Please lay facedown on the floor,
and no harm will come to you.
They're watching you.
Law enforcement has surrounded...
- It's the Bureau. - Good luck.
Amos, put the gun down!
- FBI! - Get on the ground!
Get on the ground! Gun! Gun!
Cover!
He was in here for five minutes.
He must have said something.
What did he say?
Nothing I can make sense of.
