Changing the Game

Literally one commercial later, Isaac is still closing in. Apparently he doesn't even need to touch his victims any more -- both Rosens are turning gray and veiny as he says they could have just given back what he wants and nobody needed to be killed. Not even Rosen, who he literally just tried to kill a week ago and doesn't seem to recognize now? Suddenly an automatic handgun is thrust through the crack in the chained door from outside, and a bullet streaks past Danielle's face, through Rosen's jacket lapel, and straight into Isaac's heart. Thanks, Cameron. One of these days you'll have to show us if you can make a normal shot, though.

Eventually, Rosen has his daughter back at the office to check her over, although he's still afraid to touch her. Apparently she's been using an anticonvulsant medication, among other things, to manage the symptoms of her Alpha ability. Rosen just happens to have some of the stuff handy, and prepares a shot for her, which he gives without avoiding touching her any more. Then he gets to the point, which is his curiosity about why a Red Flag assassin was after her. Danielle isn't too forthcoming, although she does remark on the disapproving look he's directing her way. While he's still trying to make that look go away, Agent Sullivan comes in and pulls him out of the room. She alerts him that they know that whatever Red Flag's planning, it's going down tomorrow at 7:00 AM. So be sure and remind Rosen closer to the deadline then, lady. Yes, she knows Danielle is Rosen's daughter, but she expects Rosen to get to work, and even when he tells her that Danielle could be a lead, Sullivan snaps at him, "Compartmentalize." Okay, then. So Rosen will need to think of the Sullivan he works with as completely separate from this total asshole who comes in and yells at him all the time.

Bill's trying to get off the phone with his worried wife while gulping down pills when Gary shows up with a fat printout on Stanton Parish. Turns out it's a guy after all, wanted by Interpol, deceased 7/3/1974. He was one of the original MK Ultra scientists and he also wrote a pro-Alpha manifesto, being a proto-Alpha himself, back before they were even called Alphas. Bill asks for more data, like there isn't a ream of paper in his hand. "I don't think I like hard work," Gary mutters as he heads back to his office. Well, nobody does when it's pointless.

Rosen is back to interrogating his daughter, who apparently is pretty bitter about the way Rosen used to treat her like a lab rat when she was a kid. She guilts him about the completely different way her boyfriend used to treat her when she was upset, "But then he loved me." "Well, I love you too," Rosen snaps irritably. Convinced by that for some reason, Danielle hands over a pouch that turns out to contain a necklace she stole, studded with what looks like rubies but are just glass. Or something. Pretty, though. Maybe Red Flag's big plan is to change its name to Red Necklace? That may sound minor, but trust me, rebranding can be a huge pain in the ass.
