new Number from Research and that they’ll be heading to New York City. As Sam walks down
the street, the explosive she rigged in Bekhti’s apartment goes off.
A day later, Sam and Cole arrive in New York and Sam meets with her immediate superior,
Wilson. He jokingly complains about her blowing up the apartment but Sam insists that it was
necessary. Wilson then gives her the newest Number. Sam begins tailing the man, James Mercer,
while Cole confirms that the man was a former U.S. soldier who was given a dishonorable
discharge and joined a militia group. Someone paid Mercer $10,000 through an offshore account
to move to Queens and wait for orders. As Sam follows Mercer, she notices a man–Reese–looking
at her. She assumes that she’s been made but Reese walks off and Sam tells Coe that everything
is fine. The two CTU agents monitor Mercer’s cell phone and hear him receive a message saying
that tomorrow is the big day.
That night, Sam returns to Cole’s surveillance van to prepare to break into Mercer’s apartment.
He appears uncertain and finally asks if she wonders how Research gets the numbers
and if they’re ever wrong. He reminds her of one target, Aquino, who seemed to have no idea
why he deserved death. Sam figures that Research is torturing prisoners in Guantanamo to get
the information, and reminds her partner that he was the one who confirmed the wire transfers
from Hezabollah to Aquino in return for details on centrifuges. Undeterred, Cole says that he
contacted a friend in the CIA and she confirmed that the spoofed money transfer actually came
from the U.S. government. Sam realizes that her partner has done something stupid and Cole
admits that he asked Wilson for an internal investigation. However, he promises to keep Sam out
of it.
Once Mercer leaves his apartment, Cole and Sam break in and check his laptop computer.
Cole is surprised to discover that it isn’t password-protect and he brings up Mercer’s emails...
and realizes that he and Sam are named in the emails. As gunshots break out on the sidewalk,
a message window comes up telling the partners that it’s a trap. As Sam checks the windows,
Cole catches a glimpse of moving figures on the other side of the door and tackles Sam just as
they fire. A tactical agent breaks in and Sam takes him out and steals his radio, and then goes
to Cole. She realizes that he’s mortally wounded and Cole say that he just wanted to be her hero
once... and then dies.
Sam leaves Mercer’s apartment and takes out the second team of tac agents, grabbing one
of them and shoving a flash-bang grenade into his gas mask. As it goes off, Reese steps out of
the shadows and tells Sam that he’s there to help her. She shoots him in the chest and he falls
back, and then grabs the downed man with the grenade and jumps out the second-story window,
using his body to break her fall. Once Sam shoots him, she heads to Cole’s van and discovers
several knee-capped tac agents on the sidewalk. Wilson steps out, giving orders to his men, sees
Sam and opens fire. She manages to escape, taking Cole’s laptop with her, and Wilson calls the
Special Council and says that they have a problem.
In Washington, the Special Council listens to Wilson’s report, unaware that his secretary,
Miss May, is actually Root. She listens in as the Special Council reminds Wilson that Sam has
dangerous knowledge of the project and must be eliminated. Wilson assures his superior that he
wounded Sam and that she’ll have to go to ground to get weapons and transportation.
After stealing a car, Sam approaches a drug dealer. Lewis. When he gets close enough, Sam
drags him into the car and drives away.
Once she gets his address, she goes there and gets the drop on Lewis’ partner, Mullins. Sam
has Lewis zip-tie Mullins to the radiator and then has him get a knife, thread, and towels. She
then removes the bullet from her side, promising the two men that if she passes out then she’ll
kill them first. As she works, Lewis points out that she knows medicine and Sam admits that she
took a medical degree before joining the Marines. Once she removes the bullet, Sam has Lewis
zip-tie himself to the radiator as well before she passes out from shock.
When Sam wakes up, it’s to Lewis’ supplier, Grishin, beating up Lewis and Mullins. Grishin
has Sam’s gun and asks why she’s there, and she promises to kill him. When he points out that
she has her gun, Sam draws a backup and shoots Grishin and his men. She then frees Lewis,
tells him to get out, and drinks a beer from the drug dealer’s refrigerator.
The Special Council calls in Hersh, who warns him that Sam is the best soldier they have.
When the Special Council wonders whether she’ll come after them or investigate Aquino’s death,
Hersh warns him that she’ll do both. Outside, Root listens in as Hersh tells the Special Council
that they’ve confirmed that Cole’s CIA contact is Veronica Sinclair.
