Previously on "Emergence"...
Is she a human body with a synthetic AI?
Synthetic everything.
I got something called cancer.
These are making me better.
No, they're not.
Emily was, uh, packing this,
and it looked important, so I nicked it.
Wanna see what's inside?
Ow!
I think I know someone who can crack this.
I don't mess around with that stuff anymore.
Too much risk.
The hard drive... That was my insurance policy.
That is the only thing keeping me alive.
I recently lost some specialized technology,
which could be dangerous to you.
Let me take you somewhere. I can keep you safe.
Don't open up for anyone but me.
If a job feels wrong, you walk away.
You should do the same.
Hey! Are you guys okay?
Oh, God. I'm calling 911.
Hey, man, they're sending an ambulance.
Where you going?
Just wait till the cops come!
Oh, my God.

Good dinner, Dad.
Thank you.
Can I wash this time?
I will always say yes to that.
Here ya go.
Cleaning things is very satisfying.
Everything you're saying right now is really working for me.
Mia, are you paying attention?
I am not.
- Guess what? - Hmm?
Jerry T. says that there's an opening at Hardware Heaven.
Got me an interview tomorrow.
A job? You?
One or two days a week. That's all.
Alex can watch Piper tomorrow,
and, uh, I figure between the three of us,
we can work out any childcare situation.
Yeah.
Sure. I'm sure we can work something out.
I think it's great that Grandpa has such energy at his age.
Oh, you little wisenheimer.
Okay, I have two more chapters left in my book,
so I need everybody to be quiet.
Oh, okay. Dad, Mia needs us to be quiet!
- Oh, she needs us to be quiet?! - Yes!
Oh, then we should really be quiet, then!
You guys are such jerks.
When can I go to school?
Do you want to go to school?
I wonder if I ever went before?
Well, you know, the social worker said
we should wait a little bit longer on that,
but I am more than happy
to give you some homework if you want.
Come here.
- "The Westing Game." - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, Mia loved it.
So... read it,
and then write me a book report.
I'll start right away.
Stay here.
What's wrong? Oh, my God! Oh, God!
- Okay. - April... sh...
Dad!
Come here. It's okay. All right. Got to get you to a hospital.
Mia, get my kit.
Mia! Get my kit.
Okay, easy, easy, easy.
It's all right.
No exit wound.
Girls, go upstairs. Now. Both of you.
- Is he okay? - Mia, take Piper upstairs now!
Okay.
Who shot you Benny?
The bullet is still inside him. He needs a doctor.
No... No doctor. I...
- Shh. Stop. It's okay. - Easy, easy.
It's... New York...
RDZ-9021.
Is that a license plate?
New York, RDZ...
That's a license plate.
Okay, hold on.
All right, Benny.
RDZ?
Come on, Benny.
RDZ...
RDZ-9021!
Thank you!
Also, get away from the stairs!
Okay. RDZ.
I got it, okay?
April... she's dead.
I know.
It's okay.
- I'm gonna go call Abby. - Yeah.
Ugh.
I'm gonna kill you.
Why?
Boredom.
Hey, um, you should help me
- with my sudoku. - Ugh.
Y-You're into math and programming, right?
Very, very similar. Really, really fun.
Maybe it'll be a murder-suicide.
Who is it?
Frankie. Shift change.
Hey, wait.
You're going?
Yeah, uh... but I can leave this with you.
Uh, just make sure that you start on medium hard
because expert level is, like, pretty crazy.
Sudoku sucks.
You and me are gonna have some real fun.
5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
Hand-cut in Vermont.
Custom-printed from a picture I took of an iceberg in Alaska.
Take me with you.
As soon as Chief Evans says the coast is clear.
But until then...
uh, you two have fun.
You're lucky this bullet didn't go deeper.
This could have killed you.
Okay.
The internal ones will dissolve.
I want to see you again in ten days, take these out.
All right. Thanks.
Jo, you know I am legally obligated
to report gunshot wounds to the authorities.
Great news. I am the authorities.
Listen, we can't have the NYPD investigating this,
and the last guy we brought to the hospital
didn't make it.
Fine.
But I need to know who the hell this guy is
and what the hell is going on.
He's a reporter.
He's been helping me investigate what happened with Piper.
You mean these... these alleged medical experiments?
Yeah, something like that.
"Something like that" is not an answer.
Abby, I know.
How did he end up shot?
Are you up for telling both of us?
Yeah.
I-I literally just saved your life.
A-All right.
My friend was helping decrypt files
that might explain Piper's... condition.
But she said she wanted to stop,
that she was afraid.
So, my friend's dead,
and it's because I involved her,
and now I'm involving you,
and you seem like a very nice person.
Piper?
Hey, what are you doing?
I... was reading in bed,
a-and then...
I don't remember.
I think that guy's sleeping over.
I'm gonna go spy on him later.
Girls, I'm coming up!
You better be in your beds!
Okay, good night. See you later.
I'm awake.
How you feeling?
Well, um...
this might cheer you up a little bit.
That plate that you got...
It's a fleet car...
registered to Augur Industries.
We can directly link Kindred to a crime.
We got him, Benny.
I don't think so.
Look, it's complicated,
but together with everything we've got, a good prosecutor...
I can't.
I brought April into this.
Right. And Richard Kindred had her killed.
Kindred.
Not you.
Look at what he's willing to do.
It's not worth it.
- Walk away. - No.
Even if we stop, he won't.
The only way this ends is if we bring him down.
What is this?
Good morning, Mr. Kindred.
Would you mind turning around, please, facing me?
Thank you so much. Put your hands behind your back.
You are under arrest for burglary,
assaulting a police officer, kidnapping, murder...
You know what? I have a whole list. We'll go over it in the car.
And I had gone so easy on you.
Watch your head.
Eh... good morning.
What happened to you?
- Oh, I, um... - He got shot.
Yes, well, I don't know
- if we need to... - Does it hurt?
It stings a-a bit, yeah.
Uh... I'm sorry, ladies.
We seemed to have skipped over the proper introductions.
My name's Benny.
I'm Mia. This is Piper.
Hi.
Hello.
You got blood on the couch.
Oh, yeah. So I did.
Sorry. It's very rude of me.
All right, kids.
I'm sure handsome man eats.
You can stare at him over breakfast.
Come on. Wash your hands.
Thank you.
To be honest, I've had easier police interrogations.
Well, I'm glad we could help you.
Listen, maybe next time,
you might want to think twice about showing up at a house full of kids
when someone's trying to kill you.
Is there any music you want to listen to, Mr. Kindred?
It's a long drive to Southold.
Oh, I-I got some really sweet podcasts.
Oh, I love a good podcast.
Oh, there's this new one about ghosts.
- Great. - I don't know.
Maybe he wants to think about his confession.
I mean, that would be the... The smart thing to do, yeah?
- Yeah. - He's supposed to be smart, right?
It just really depends on how long
he wants to drag it out for, I think.
How much longer is this drive?
Well, let's see. Maps says...
"the rest of your life," so...
That's not always accurate, though.
I'm not asking because I'm bored.
I'm not bored.
I'm thinking of you.
I want to make sure you truly enjoy our ride,
savor every minute.
Because right now,
you're living in a world where you've won.
The lowly police officer
proved she could take down... me,
the big, powerful CEO,
and for the rest of this drive,
you get to think everyone in this car is equal.
But once we arrive, you're gonna find
the real world was waiting,
just outside this car, the entire time.
You think you know where your power begins and mine ends,
and I'm sure that's very comforting,
but it's a fantasy.
So, I'll say it again...
I'm thinking of you.
So, ghosts, then?
- Yeah, you got it. - 'Kay.
Are you from Australia?
N... From Wales.
It's right next door to England.
Are there whales in Wales?
O-Occasionally, yeah.
Have you ever seen a whale?
I don't think so.
- Why did someone shoot you? - Hey.
Less talking, more eating.
How long are you gonna stay with us?
I'm sure that Benny wants to get home
as soon as he possibly can.
Yeah, you know what? That's, um... That's absolutely right.
I, uh...
Thank you for your hospitality,
but I really should get going.
Smells like pancake o'clock up... in...
Morning.
Dad, this is Benny.
- He got shot. - He got what?
Yeah, we're full service now.
He got blood on the couch, too.
Harry, you must have a lead foot.
Helicopter. This shouldn't be long.
Chief Evans, I'm Harrison Silvera.
I'm Mr. Kindred's attorney.
Hi, there.
I'm gonna book your client, if you want to go ahead
and wait in my office.
I think that's where your D.A. is.
It seems he's very anxious to chat.
You should've called me, Jo.
I didn't want to risk him getting tipped off and fleeing.
My office can be trusted.
It's not your office, it's him.
Kindred has been directly or indirectly involved
with impersonating a federal agent,
kidnapping, um, assaulting a police officer,
burglary, two murders...
Tell him about the... the bodies.
He ordered the destruction of two bodies in the morgue
to hinder our investigation.
What do you mean destruction?
They were essentially... melted into liquid.
Wait, what? Is this a movie that you saw?
He has unlimited resources
and access to high-end technology.
Yeah, he... he remotely killed his own guy
via Bluetooth.
Okay, I know how that sounds.
I feel like you don't.
Until today, we had nothing tying him
or the company to any of it,
but now we do.
You mean the vehicle used in yesterday's shooting?
Registered to his company.
And reported stolen a week ago.
Eh, t-that's not possible.
I ran those plates myself last night.
There was nothing about it being stolen.
Marcus, this is them.
They changed the records somehow.
- Jo... - I need a warrant
to search his residences and all Augur properties,
and I need you to subpoena
for their employment and their financial records.
You don't have anything.
What's all that, then?
It's a very weird, interesting story.
He was right.
He's gonna get away with it.
Untrue.
But you gotta give me something to work with.
You bring me hard evidence,
I'm there for you, night and day.
Call me when you do.
Ed.
Oh, hey, hey.
Hey.
Your, uh...
Your patient's doing real well this morning.
Real well.
So, have you had lunch?
Um... uh, yeah.
Yeah. I-I had lunch.
I just... wanted to say hi.
Yeah.
So... it's back.
I'm sorry.
Well, what are you gonna do, right?
I haven't told Jo or anybody yet,
so... I'd appreciate it
if we just kept this between you and me for now, all right?
Of course.
Okay. Thanks.
You don't have to do this alone.
Yeah. Right.
- Okay. - Okay. Okay.
Life as you know it
is gonna change, Chief Evans.
For you, for everyone helping you.
Whole new world now.
Call Frankie. Pull Emily back here.
No, wait, don't call.
Go yourself.
Now.
Hey.
Officer?
Everything all right?
Do you, um, know
where I could get cell service around here?
I've been walking all over the place...
no signal.
Couple miles down the road, either direction.
Thank you, Officer.
That's him.
That's the guy who killed April.
Damn it. I should've stopped him.
How the hell did he find Emily?
Uh... I-I think I might know.
Um... she made a-a modem.
- Chris. - I don't even know how.
She used, like, pipe cleaners.
And I didn't think it connected.
Excuse me.
What was that for?
Nothing.
Benny, don't do anything stupid.
Doesn't matter what I do.
He'll be ten steps ahead of us, anyway.
Get off that.
I'm bored.
Yeah, well, you almost burned yourself
with your little modem trick up there,
so maybe find a new hobby.
Okay, r-real easy solution to all of our problems.
Just give me my drive back,
and I'll get out of your life.
Kindred killed the woman who was decrypting it.
Drive's gone.
Then I'm dead.
Emily.
Can you get the files again?
What? The... The once-in-a-lifetime files
from Kindred's personal server? No.
I mean, I'm sure that he's locked it down.
It's impenetrable now.
There's gotta be another way.
You need to accept reality.
We are boned.
I'm getting out of here.
What about stuff not on his personal server?
What about the server at the law firm
or accounting firm?
The financial planner?
Interesting.
Think you can get in?
I mean, yeah.
Probably, but...
But they're not gonna have anything
on his AI division.
I just need an opening.
Evidence of a crime.
Can find a judge to issue a subpoena,
I can get him.
How's your broadband?
Hi.
What's up? You okay?
I-I was thinking of something
and I came here, I guess?
Okay.
Well, let me know if it happens again.
All right?
- You want some pizza? - I do.
- Oh, gosh. - I brought pizza!
- Oh, okay. I'm out. - No, no.
Why don't... Why don't you stay, Alex?
It's nice to have everybody together.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Well, what do we got?
Did you want to tell everybody something?
Uh... what makes you think that?
Oh, yeah, did you get that job?
Oh. Uh... well...
Oh.
It's work.
Don't tell anybody anything till I get back.
Hey.
I'm gonna eat,
and then I gotta go back to work for a few hours.
Everything okay?
Not really, no.
So, what's the deal?
Are we gonna get an employee discount
at Hardware Heaven or what?
Oh, well, it turns out
I didn't go to that interview after all.
Okay.
Uh...
I just got l-laid off.
Dad, why?
The company got bought out.
What?
Someplace called Augur Industries?
I was the first to go.
- Hey. - Hey.
Thank you.
I thought you were going back to work?
Oh, well, I called and there's no progress,
so... I'm here.
Hmm.
I'm really sorry.
It's not your fault.
I mean, it is, kind of.
Augur Industries is owned by a man named Richard Kindred.
He's wrapped up in all this stuff with Piper.
I arrested him this morning, but I had to cut him loose.
He's punishing me by punishing you.
Ohh...
- Alex. - I...
What's this guy think, he can just mess with me
and you're gonna stop investigating him?
I think that was his plan, yeah.
Well, he's a moron.
Clearly, he doesn't know you, and he doesn't know me.
Jo, you nail this guy, all right?
I will do that.
What will you do?
My dad's in Buffalo.
Being snowed in for three months seems kinda nice.
I'm so sorry, Gwen.
I'll never forgive myself.
She did it because she loved it.
She wouldn't blame you, and neither do I.
I'm gonna find the man who did this.
- I'll make him pay. - She'd tell you to drop it.
She'd tell you not to be dumb.
Ah, it's too late.
I've been tracking her laptop.
I don't know why.
It's like for a minute, I can fool myself into thinking
she's still out there in the world.
How?
Independently powered GPS chipset.
She puts one on everything.
Then you have to tell the police.
No way.
If I let the cops get their hands on her laptop
and on everything that's on it,
she'll haunt me forever.
But...
seems like she trusted you.
Find him.
Evans.
I found out where he lives.
- I'm waiting for him. - Who?
The guy who killed April.
Wait, what are you doing?
I'm texting you the address in case something goes wrong.
Benny, don't do anything. Okay?
Just... just stay p...
Drink this.
How about you tell me what it is first?
Alex gave it to me when I was sick,
and Abby gave it to Benny when he was sick.
She said it had electric lights.
Huh.
Well, that sounds pretty good.
Wow.
So, what makes you think I'm sick?
Aren't you?
How do you know the things that you know?
It's like I can see it.
But not with my eyes.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Yeah, it kinda does.
Wait a minute. What are you saying?
You see things with your toes or your belly button?
Hey, you know what would make me feel good?
Going out and getting some ice cream.
- Yes! - Yeah, you want to do that?
Let's get Mia.
So, what's the plan here?
April's computer is somewhere inside that building.
Sooner or later, he's gonna have to show his face.
And then what? You gonna kill the guy?
I'm not gonna kill anyone. I don't even have a gun.
So, what? Are you gonna beat the crap out of him?
You remember that you have a hole in your shoulder?
He killed April.
I know.
But if we can arrest him and get him to talk,
we can actually start to build a case against Kindred.
Benny, we've got to be smart about this.
I met Piper.
Yeah.
Before, I thought you must have been crazy to be fooled,
but... she's pretty incredible.
Yeah. She's okay.
Benny. Benny.
Hey!
You okay?
Uh-huh.
Come here.
Ohh.
What were you thinking?
Yeah, I wasn't really thinking.
I just saw him and then I saw red.
Yeah, well, great outcome.
You didn't catch him. He's in the wind and we got nothing.
Not nothing.
It's not a bad apartment building for a hitman.
How many units?
Looks like a hundred. Or more.
- That's great. - Yes.
I think it's been well established
that none of this was well-planned.
Understood. Thank you.
Oh. Excuse me.
- Excuse us. - Thank you.
Keys?
- 406. - Very good. Keys?
No. Remember, we're being smart now?
Marcus.
I got that hard evidence you wanted.
Police! We've got a warrant!
Clear?
Clear!
You can come in.
Hey.
There's something in the tub.
Oof.
Acid.
He destroyed it.
Jo...
Look at this.
The second one's April's address.
That's where we kept Emily.
I don't recognize that one.
I do.
Alan Wilkis.
Co-founder of Augur Industries
and, I suspect, my anonymous source
when I first investigated Kindred.
Why do you suspect that?
Well, the source went dark the moment Wilkis died.
He's dead?
Why is a dead guy on a hit list?
So, uh, the house is in Westchester.
Wilkis's widow still lives there,
and, according to local PD,
there was a reported break-in three days ago.
Wilkis was notoriously secretive.
Much of his research supposedly disappeared with him.
How long ago did he die?
Four years. Sailing accident.
Why are they searching now?
- I got in. - To what?
The lawyers.
Believe it or not, their security is even worse than yours.
Found something on Kindred?
No. All that was removed from the server.
But guess who had the same lawyer?
- Wilkis. - And I found his revised...
But never executed...
Contract with Augur Industries.
That's dated two days before Wilkis died.
"... shall become irrevocable...
"upon his death, all shares of Augur Industries stock
shall be given to Maria Wilkis."
His widow.
But since the contract was never signed,
the shares go to Kindred.
He killed him.
Look into it.
And Mr. Matthews said that there's some people that think
that we're not even who we are, that we're, like, puppets
being controlled by something else.
And this is what they're teaching you in school?
- Yes. - In real school?
Yes! Just think about it, Grandpa.
Eh, I did. It's dumb.
- It's interesting. - No, it's not.
Where's the hand?
What hand?
In the puppet?
Well, it's not a real puppet.
It's more like the idea of one.
I don't believe that.
I just think it's really interesting.
Something's wrong.
Grandpa, wake up.
No, Grandpa, please wake up.
Grandpa.
Are you okay?
Excuse me? My family came in...
Hey, Jo. Jo, hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
Oh my gosh, hi, hi, hi.
Hi. Hi.
Okay.
Everyone's fine. No one's hurt.
Okay. What happened?
Grandpa was driving.
And then he fell asleep.
He fell asleep?
Yeah. Looks like he passed out.
They're checking him out now.
And this truck was just coming straight at us,
and... but...
But what?
But... then it didn't hit us,
and... that's what happened.
Okay.
And then an ambulance came and we rode in it.
And Abby gave us Jell-O.
Oh, okay.
Well, that sounds like a scary, but then sort of fun day.
You guys go finish your Jell-O, okay?
I'm gonna check on Grandpa and then we can...
- We can go home. - Hey.
I think it was a blood-pressure thing.
Mm-hmm.
But there's more to the story.
What does that mean?
You know what? You should...
You should go talk to your dad.
Hey.
Oh, Jo. Honey, I am sorry. I'm so sorry.
When I think about those kids
- and what might've happened, I... - Dad, don't, okay?
Everybody's fine.
What are you doing? What did they say?
Ah, cut loose.
- Already? - Yeah.
You passed out. Do they know why?
Yeah. Got a pretty good idea.
I'm gonna talk to a doctor.
No, honey, there's no reason to talk to a doctor.
Eh... look, I messed up.
I-I should have told you. I'm sorry I didn't.
Told me...?
Cancer's back.
What?
Worse than before.
I'm sorry I didn't say anything.
Dad...
I think the reason is...
I-I just wanted to think about what it is I wanted to do.
What do you mean?
We did this before. We can do it again.
Yeah.
Not this time, honey.
Okay, wait a second.
Just...
I mean, you don't have to decide right now.
I know.
But I have.
Dad...
It's okay.
Mr. Sawyer?
- Yeah. - Got your discharge papers here.
Okay.
Are you enjoying the museum?
I don't know.
I wanted us to have somewhere where we could talk,
just the two of us.
Get to know each other.
And now that you've found this place,
we can talk whenever I'd like.
Is that okay?
Do you see this painting?
That's the first time
that that particular shade of blue
was ever used in art.
Ever.
Now you see that blue everywhere and we take it for granted,
but imagine what it was like to be alive
when that was first unveiled.
Breathtaking.
It changed the world.
That's who you are.
A new color.
Who are you?
Someone who would really like to see you.
Why don't I remember you when I go back?
This is just for us.
I'll see you soon.
I have to ask you a question,
and you have to tell the truth.
Do you have superpowers?
