If we're never going to leave,
then why are you training me?
Because one day,
I may not be here to protect you,
and you'll have to cope on your own.
All trainees,
please gather all your affairs
and collect at meeting point "G"
for immediate onward...
Where are we going? Why do they keep moving us?
Further information will be given in transit.
We are approaching our destination.
All trainees should prepare for disembarkation.
Welcome to the Meadows.
Marissa.
John.
Wasn't sure you'd recognize me.
It's been a while.
How's your leg? Getting better?
Uh, it's been better for two weeks.
Why are you here?
Well, I'm afraid there are a few issues
that need clearing up.
Around what happened at the Utrax facility.
How do you even know about that?
I don't want to waste too much of your time.
Shall we begin?
Who is this?
This is Marissa Wiegler.
I'm at the Utrax facility.
Jerome Sawyer's dead. I'm wounded.
Erik Heller shot me.-
I need assistance.
Where is Heller?
He's gone,
but he's badly injured.
He won't survive.
And the girl?
She, uh...
she got away.
So let me get this straight.
Heller killed Jerome Sawyer.
He was escaping with Hanna and the other girl.
I tried to stop them.
And he shot you in the leg?
Why were you there?
Sawyer's report seems to suggest
that you shouldn't have been on that operation at all.
Sawyer and I didn't see eye to eye
on how to address Erik's reemergence from the forest.
Well, you were right about Heller.
He didn't make it.
The girls buried him in a rural graveyard.
Next to the mother. Sentimental reasons, I imagine.
We disposed of him
in a more strategic fashion.
Um, would you care to come with me for a moment?
Where are we going?
It's right down here.
Won't take long.
Through this door.
I don't understand.
What's in there?
Don't worry, Marissa.
It's just me.
So...
Let's go back to the beginning.
We have the results
of your ALC training tests.
-Congratulations. -Thank you, sir.
So, you think you're ready?
Well, I'd rather not sit at a training console
-for another year. -That's good.
So, we can put you straight on the NSA main floor.
Mm-hmm.
You'd be assigned to a desk.
Comms and SIGINT analysis.
Phone calls.
Cryptographic decoding.
It's the usual process
for someone transitioning from military intelligence
to an analysis-led arena.
Or?
There is another possibility.
It's in the field.
It's kind of unusual.
Classified project.
And we would only want you to do it
if you felt it was right for you at this time.
Where is it?
Abroad.
That's a little vague, sir.
If you're interested,
I'd have to ask you to sign this
before I tell you anything more.
Welcome.
I wish we could stay here forever.
I can feel your heartbeat.
You feel it?
What is that?
Nothing.
Did they give it to you?
They said it keeps us calm.
What are you doing?
You don't need this anymore.
Welcome, everybody.
My name's Leo Garner.
Please take your seats.
So... let's make a start.
Hi, there.
My name's Joanne McCoy, and I'm your group leader.
You're now entering the second stage of your development.
You're gonna notice some changes
in the way we work here at the Meadows.
You're gonna have more freedom,
and you're gonna be able to ask more questions of us.
Medication will be reduced and rules relaxed
as we prepare you for the next stage of your journey.
You'll shortly receive your personalized character profile
that will tell you all you need to know
about your new identities.
Take time to read it.
It contains all you need to know about yourself,
your family history, your schooling,
your place of birth, where you grew up,
your hobbies and interests,
your aspirations and your dreams.
Operation Utrax.
Initiated in 2002, Darabani, Romania,
to explore in utero enhancement
of genetic makeup in early-stage embryos.
Wolf DNA implanted into a three-month-old fetus,
to affect bone density,
sensory sensibility
and reduced susceptibility to disease.
All with the intention of creating
a perfectly refined military tool.
Did you know about it all these years?
I thought I was keeping it secret from you.
I was the one who recommended you.
You closed the operation in 2003
after Erik Heller's unfortunate intervention.
-We reopened it in 2004. -Without telling me.
It was decided a clean slate was necessary.
The DNA enhancements are now synthetic,
modeled on the same material but now nonorganic.
And this time...
it worked.
Where are they?
They're in socialization training,
developing their new identities.
When socialization is complete,
they'll be transferred into the field.
They'll live in the real world,
normally, quietly.
And all we have to do is flip a switch,
and they'll do whatever we ask.
100% deniability.
I mean,
who's really gonna suspect an 18-year-old freshman
in pigtails of state-sponsored murder?
And 100% reliable.
Or so we thought.
According to the gospel of Utrax,
Trainee 249 shouldn't have had
the ability to disobey orders in the way she did.
We need to determine why that happened
and how to prevent it in the future.
To do that,
we need to bring her back.
That's why I'm here.
That's why I need your help.
Hello?
into some trouble
getting doubled
and I am crossing over
Come on. Let's go.
and we'll call it home
Are you okay?
Why couldn't we stay in one of those cabins we steal from?
They're warmer.
It's too close to the edge of the forest,
and people come and stay in them all the time.
It's not safe.
Let's eat, huh?
All right, everyone.
Please sit down.
Okay.
So, the aim of these sessions, guys,
is to introduce you to the dangers
in the world outside,
dangers you will be fighting on behalf of our government
and people everywhere.
Now, to be able to fight these dangers,
you'll need all the combat and operational skills
you've been developing,
but you'll also need to understand the world
and how it's come to be this way.
of a child.
Terri.
My name's Leo Garner.
Hello.
Welcome to the Meadows.
Thank you.
You see something we missed?
If they're in the forest, you'll never find them.
It's thousands of miles,
and Hanna knows that terrain better than anyone.
You found her last time.
Last time, she made a mistake
because she was frustrated with her life.
She won't do that again.
Maybe you don't want us to find her.
What exactly do you mean by that?
Who took this photograph?
I did.
Holiday snaps.
Not like you.
I needed to prove to Sawyer I had Hanna in my care.
Did you become attached to her?
No, I did not.
Perfectly natural to have an affinity for her,
given the past, no child of your own.
I don't feel anything, John.
I'll let you know when I do.
I'd like to go.
You can't hold me here against my will.
You know that as well as I.
Okay.
Let me ask you something first.
Are you lying to me?
Did you really shoot Erik Heller
or did you go to Utrax to kill Sawyer and save Hanna's life?
I think I know the answer.
So, here's the deal:
I stay quiet about what you did and I leave Hanna alone,
but you give me Trainee 249.
How did your mother die?
I told you. I don't want to talk about it.
Was she killed by them?
Do you miss her?
I never knew her.
How can you miss someone you've never met?
-Hello. How are you today? -I'm well, thank you.
That's five dollars. With rice or baked potato?
She looks so weird,
still in that old uniform.
Not everyone's done it.
I'm glad you did.
It makes me feel better.
What's the name they gave you?
Sandy.
I'm Jules.
Hi, Jules.
Hi, Sandy.
Where are you from, apparently?
Uh, I'm from Ohio.
A small town.
Bentleyville.
What's that like?
Beautiful.
There's lots of forest and rivers.
And you go fishing for pike and bass,
except in the summer, when it runs dry.
I'm from Oregon.
By the ocean.
I surf.
I have a boyfriend called Aaron.
He's hot.
Why is he hot?
No, it means, like, he's really handsome.
Can I see him?
He looks nice.
He is.
And I have a brother, but I don't like him.
It says he was mean to me when I was young.
Put beetles in my shoes.
What a dumbass.
Yeah.
He is a dumbass.
I have a brother and a sister, too, but she's sick.
It takes up a lot of the family's attention.
What's wrong with her?
Muscular disease.
It may be psychological.
We don't know for sure.
That must be annoying.
No.
I love her.
I need to talk to the other trainees.
The ones who were there.
Hi, Sandy.
That's your name, isn't it?
-Yes. -Hi. Uh, I know
we already spoke to you about this at Wilberforce Air Base,
but I wanted to go through one more time what happened,
with Agent Hawkins here.
About Trainee 249.
I've told you everything I know.
Sandy, my name's Joan.
I'm really worried about Trainee 249.
She's missing the opportunity to experience
what you're experiencing,
gaining a new life.
I'd like to bring her back and offer her that chance.
But for that, I need your help, 'kay?
So, you were in the room next to her.
Is that right? The day she left.
She talked to me through the wall.
What'd she say?
She said someone was coming.
Then what?
I heard her talk to this girl through the door.
The girl opened the doors somehow.
And then 249 went out.
She said we were free.
I didn't believe her.
And so then what happened?
Did she meet that girl alone?
I don't know.
There's no reason to lie, Sandy.
Not to me.
Did you go to the door and look?
What happened when you went to the door?
What did you see?
She showed her something.
On the screen.
What was it?
I don't know.
Yes, you do.
It was something from her past.
Her real past.
What did she show her?
She showed her who her mother was, didn't she?
I didn't tell
any of the other trainees, honestly.
Oh, that's okay. You're not in trouble.
- I don't want to leave the program. - It's okay.
You did everything we could have asked.
Okay? Thanks. You can go now.
Come on.
Faster.
Don't give up.
You okay?
Are we going to stay here forever?
It's safe here. Don't you want to be safe?
-Course I do. -Maybe you don't.
Maybe you want to go back to that facility.
-That facility doesn't exist anymore. -Then another facility.
Is that what you want?
No, of course not.
Where they put drugs under your skin to keep you sleepy.
The same room every day.
The same food, the same exercises.
-No air, no going outside. -All right, I get it.
No, you don't get it. That thing in the sky,
it wasn't after me, it was after you.
I'm protecting you.
In the whole wide world,
this is the only place we are safe.
So there are 30 trainees.
They'll be writing e-mails and communicating online
to a whole host of relatives and friends
as we build the backstory for them and their families.
Now, these stories need to stack up for universities.
Friends, lovers, uh, anyone they might meet
and show them to.
You send mails, posts,
reply to their social media shout-outs.
You chat with them on all the online platforms.
You can make requests for visual support material
through the Gemini data archive,
which you can access through your computer.
Any questions?
Okay, so you said there are 30 different trainees.
-Yeah. -Each with maybe ten
or-or 20 major correspondents
and a hundred occasional social media contacts.
And they'll show them all to each other,
so each one has to be different.
It's fun, huh?
Food's available 24 hours a day.
Entertainment consoles, TV, it's all yours.
But no contact with the trainees,
and from now on, no phone calls home.
Oh, I have a family who think I'm working for an oil company.
They'll expect to hear from me.
I guess you were told this was a Red Mark operation.
Well, it is.
I'm sorry.
You saved me, and I'm not grateful.
It's okay.
I just don't want to be alone anymore.
We're not alone. We have each other.
Now Clara knows,
she'll go looking for her mother.
She won't be able to resist it.
And that's how you'll get her.
She's Egyptian.
Came to Romania as an illegal immigrant.
Met a Nigerian guy. She got pregnant by accident.
She decided to give up the baby.
After she gave her baby to Utrax, she disappeared.
There's no record of where she went.
Nothing online.
Samira Mahan may not even be her real name.
So if Clara does search for her mother,
there's nothing for her to find.
Well, then I guess you better make something up, John,
because she will go looking.
Stand by! Engage!
Whoa!
Engage!
Whoa! Engage!
Whoa!
- "Hi, Sandy. - Just posting to see
"how you are finishing high school.
"It's sunny here, and we took Jodie out for a walk.
"She took a few steps herself, isn't that cool?
"I'll get a photo for you soon.
Write when you can. Mom."
"Hi, Mom.
"I'm having a great time at the private school.
"I'm glad I decided to move to New York,
"even though I miss you all.
"I needed the space from Jodie to focus on my studies
"so I can get into a good college.
"Did I tell you I met a friend?
"She's really nice. Her name is Jules.
"I'll send you a photo of her. She has really cool hair.
"Don't worry, I won't copy her.
"The weather is good this fall. Very sunny.
"And we're playing a lot of sports,
"and I'm looking forward to my music lessons.
"Sometimes, of course, I get lonely.
"I miss you and Dad, and I miss Jodie.
"But not Brad, and you can tell him that.
"And I miss Montana, of course.
"Give him a stroke for me.
"Tell him I'll walk him when I return,
"after the semester ends.
Hugs and kisses. Sandy."
Hanna?
Hanna!
Clara?
How did you get lost?
I was with my mother. I went the wrong way.
You don't have a phone?
Are you American?
Are you on holiday?
Where are you staying?
My mother's name is Samira Mahan.
I need to find her.
With an "A."
Is this her?
She's staying in a hotel near Bucharest.
I can take you there, if you like.
Have you been writing home?
A little bit. You?
Yeah, a lot. To my mom, especially.
She's lonely without me.
My dad's in Iraq again, and my sister's not well.
-What? -Nothing.
Just... you know it's not real, right?
Why do you say that?
Because it's not.
Well, maybe it can be.
What do you mean?
Well, if they want us to live in the world,
then my family can't just be writing letters, right?
At some point, I have to talk to them.
Maybe meet 'em.
How can you meet them?
They have faces.
You don't... get it, do you?
They're just a story to tell people.
Nothing more.
Listen, you do what you want, okay.
You don't have to write to anyone.
That's not what I meant.
-Just leave me alone. -Sandy...
You want me to message her, tell her you're coming?
Yes, please.
What should I say?
Say her daughter wants to see her.
You were right.
-She made contact. -Where?
In a forest south of a village called Ulitze.
She's heading to Bucharest now with a Romanian family.
Thinks her mother's in the hotel.
We're arranging the RV.
- I need you there. - Let's go.
- Locked and loaded, sir. - And what about Hanna?
We're leaving Hanna alone, just like you asked.
Bravo Team on me, going around back.
Bravo Team in position.
-Nobody here, sir. -All right.
Search the forest!
-Sir! -Sir!
Ten meters!
"Hi, Mom. I'm still happy here at high school.
"I've been made captain of the hockey team.
"But I'm angry with that friend I told you about.
"People can be so cruel.
"I really gave her my trust,
"but she doesn't understand me at all.
"I think it might be because she doesn't have
"such a close family.
"Maybe she's jealous.
Maybe she doesn't have the love in her life that I do."
Hey, look, it's from your mom.
How long until we get there?
Two hours.
Group Lima headed north-northwest.
No eyeball.
I just saw something.
Target contact! Fall back to the cabin!
Engage!
-Thank you. -You want someone to come with you?
No, I'll be fine. Thank you.
Can I help you?
My mother is in Room 427.
You okay?
Uh, what's her name?
Samira Mahan.
"Mahan."-
Okay. Would you like me to call her?
No, she knows I'm coming.
Okay, it's, uh, second floor, over there.
Mom?
Mom, it's me.
Mom?
Sit down, Clara.
I need to talk to you.
Where's my mother?
I need to explain what's happening. Please sit down.
Where is my mother?
She's not here.
Stay calm.
Let me tell you what happened.
Your mother chose to give you up after you were born.
And then, I'm afraid, she died.
That's why you're with us.
And why we're so keen to look after you now.
No.
It's okay.
It's not gonna be like it was before, in the facility.
I want to show you what it's going to be like from now on.
We're going to give you a new life.
Your name is Clemency.
You're 18, you're in school.
You live with a big family
in a beautiful house in Oakland, California.
Your father is in local government.
Your mother, here, she's a teacher.
We can make all this happen for you.
And I promise we're gonna give you
-all the love you need. -I don't want that.
I want her.
I know, but she's gone.
Don't run away from me.
Move in.
Copy that.
Down! On the ground!
No! Let me go!
No! No! Let me go!
Let me go! No!
Get off me!
Let me go!
You know there's still a place for you with us if you want.
-You'd trust me with that? -Well, not everyone can deal
with this kind of work.
You've shown you can.
You didn't leave Hanna in the forest, did you?
I know you, John.
Just tell me the truth.
We found the cabin in the forest.
There was, uh, a fight of some kind.
A gas explosion in the cabin.
And Hanna?
She was inside.
Marissa, I assure you,
-we never had any intention... -Just... just get out.
The offer remains open.
Where did you take her?
Welcome, Sandy, to your virtual piano lesson.
Let's start by hitting a key.
