An IV is inserted in his arm and contents of the injection are inserted and he flat lines.


Riley knocks on Gabriel's door and when he opens she says she thought she might had to break down the door.

She asks what's the apology is for for which Nelson replies for suspecting he had something to do with Dr. Cassidy's kidnapping in the Pilot episode.

The first outbreak was at a music festival where 22 people were infected. He uses the social media networks to get pictures of the festival.

When the Director of Defense Intelligence asks what is clockwork she says it is code name and doesn't say much about it. When the video conference is over Weatherly asks Lillian to stay behind and when the others are gone he asks if it is a good idea to send Gabriel into a middle of deadly outbreak. She says what's the use of having clockwork if they can't use it to save lives. He says clockwork will always be in danger as long as there is only one Gabriel.

Gabriel is automatically strapped to the table and Riley says there is nothing creepy about that. Suddenly Gabriel flat lines freaking Riley out.

Gabriel finally traces the call and it leads them to the Pentagon. CyberCom thinks it probably was a private contractor working for the Pentagon who was conducting tests on Luther and he escaped. There is no one better to conduct experiments on than dead people.

Luther goes to visit Luanne who is surprised to see him alive. She asks how he is alive.

I'm going to reach up from hell and pull him down

–Luther Vick

Think of it like a tuxedo. Once you have one, you find a place to wear it. And this tux could be yours for the low price of…a simple apology

–Nelson Cassidy (Referring to his quad-copter), To Lillian Strand

Well, Nelson, maybe you and your father should apologize to your country for duplicating top secret technology, for exposing the most valuable intelligence weapon in this nation’s arsenal, and for nearly getting the prototype killed

–Lillian Strand, To Nelson Cassidy

She’s a Disney villain

–Nelson Cassidy

Are you serious? You’re asking me to protect him in the middle of a deadly outbreak of an incurable virus. It doesn’t get worse than that.

–Riley Neal, To Lillian Strand

If we’re not using this program to save American lives, then why have it?

–Lillian Strand, To DNI Adam Weatherly

You want a hundred of him? A thousand? Then the program must not only continue to prove itself, but it must endure. And by it, I mean him

–DNI Adam Weatherly, To Lillian Strand

Yeah, there is nothing creepy about that

–Riley Neal, To Gabriel Vaughn

You know, the only thing that worries me more than the power of any one agency is the power of any one agent

–DNI Adam Weatherly, To Lillian Strand

Either we’re partners or we’re not
