Two men arrive at a building and re-stock a vending machine One of them is dating a Czech woman. A man passes them and they stare back at him. How long were they undercover that they stare when he's looking right at them. He runs and they give chase, culminating in a rooftop shoot out, where the man is shot and falls over the edge of the roof. One goes to check and tells the other to call it in.
Cal (Tim Roth) leaves dinner with Gillian (Kelli Williams) and Alex (Tim Guinee), who has to work late. He seems to have misplaced his glasses. Cal follows and spies him with a blonde, whom he introduces to Cal as a friend when he returns his glasses to him. Cal is then sent a text to investigate a shooting by the Mayor's department and he and Ria (Monica Raymund) meet up with Henry Strong (DB Woodside). They question each of the officers separately and their superior, Hoopes (Jason Beghe) tells Cal he believes them both. Whereupon Cal calls him an arse and calls Strong one too. One of the agents is calm and the other appears to be hyper. As Cal leaves the station, he is photographed.
Ria returns home to Dupree (Sean Patrick Thomas) and he plays her a message left her on her machine. It's Eli (Brendan Hines). She tells Dupree she covered for him as a friend for something he did at work. (1.8 Depraved Heart). It was apparent that would come back to haunt them and she asks if Dupree is keeping secrets from her. He replies plenty cos he's a good friend. Gillian believes Eric is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
Cal watches the video and reminds Gillian they have a staff meeting. Cal breaks the news they are being sued by Hollins. Eli worries and tells Ria she must cover for him when the lawyers interview her and he gives her some pointers on how to act. He even offers her pills to suppress her emotions. Trying to guilt her into doing what's best for the institute rather than him. Ria replies he's only lied once to be good at it. At the hospital, Cal speaks with the boy's father, Conrad (Dan Martin) who tells him Andre (Harrison Knight) doesn't have a gun, but his brother Antwon (Terence Hardy Jr) hides something. Andre had a gun for protection.
The FBI takes Cal away and tell him Eric is an agent who found the DC police have been infiltrated by sleeper terrorists. A terrorist attack is being planned on the city. Cal asks for one question to be answered by Eric, whether Andre had a gun. He knows Eric is lying when he replies he did. Gillian believes they should let Andre take the fall but Cal's not willing to let an innocent boy spend time in prison. She reluctantly allows him to call the Mayor. For a moment there, Gillian also wanted to lie as it's for the greater good: what's one life compared to thousands. Kind of the opposite of the maxim: let ten guilty men go free, than convict one innocent man. However there is no due process where terrorism is concerned. Ria shows Cal a photo of Andre robbing a store with a gun. Ria is interviewed by Wexler (Scott Klace) and appears to be nervous and glances at the camera.
Cal asks what Eli notices about Andre in the photo and he replies nothing, he's not displaying any emotion. Meaning the photo was doctored, someone else is holding the gun and Andre's face was substituted. Funny Cal should asks Eli that particular question, cos bet he's been exhibiting lots of emotion. Did he think he could play Cal at his own game? Recall the suppressors Cal gave to the army woman in 1.2 Moral Waiver. Cal meets with his friend, Owen (David Warshofsky) and asks if the FBI is looking into a planned terrorist attack. Eli undergoes his interview and feels relieved. Dupree leaves tickets for Ria with Eli and reprimands him for using Ria in his lie. He'll easily find another job but she'll have to return to the airport.
Cal sees Gillian with Christine, (Wendi Kenya) who calls her an acquaintance. Andre is conscious and admits he had a gun but got rid of it. Gillian believes him since he didn't lie about owning a gun. Gillian checks out other interviews Duke (Marty Papazian) conducted with suspects and one in particular with a Neo Nazi, where he shows contempt towards him, proving he wouldn't plot against the country thus confirming Eric as the sleeper, or someone who is framing Andre. Cal says one of the agents has gone rogue. Cal speaks with Eric saying he's spreading bad info. He's plotting to make the police and other agents look bad in revenge against the shooting of his daughter, a soldier who was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan. Eric is angry at the lies and cover up. Cal understands his anger and grief.
Eric finally gives up sleepers who were working as EMTs, so if there was an attack they'd be allowed in without question. Eric planted the gun on Andre, when he was only holding his phone. Duke is sorry for shooting him - bit late if he was killed. Cal lets on to Eli he's aware he lied about the SEC and he's known all along. Well it'll be a cold day in hell before anyone getting anything past Cal.
The rouse about the lawsuit was a plan to test Ria. Eli admits he was the only one involved. Cal isn't firing Ria, she proved she can be loyal and keep secrets. Eli can leave or choose to stay as an unpaid intern cos that's all he's worth.Gillian asks what he'll do and Cal has no answer. She tells him he wasn't the only one who lied and she should have told him Christine is Alex's sponsor. Don't think Cal believes that's all she is and neither do I. is Gillian really falling for more of his lies. Considering all the lies Alex told her about wanting to get away and having to work late, he's obviously having an affair. Gillian doesn't want them to cross the line as far as 'analyzing' each other goes and Cal was protecting her. Lots of touchy feely stuff between Cal and Gillian and there's more to them just being colleagues and friends. Or at least there should be.
This episode Gillian almost crossed the line - at least she thinks about it when not wanting to tell the Mayor to save lives. Her actions can be viewed as being for the interests of others, whereas Eli just demonstrated contempt when he called the SEC. It was important for one person to be brought to justice than the investors getting their money back. One v thousands or thousands v one. I also don't think Dupree is good for Ria for some reason. Cal: "Loyalty's crucial here - what you did is inexcusable - involving her is selfish, disrespectful and just plain stupid." so he does have a soft spot for Ria. The FBI scenes were filmed on the set of Bones.
