Rogue

Full transcript

 

Ex-CIA agent, Lee Brackett, decides he wants the latest spy plane, the AVCX, for himself to strip down and sell on the black market. To accomplish this he steals a canister of the Ebola virus from a lab on Rainier University to use as leverage against Jim Ellison to help him steal the plane. Brackett has discovered Jim’s Sentinel abilities through information gleaned when Jim came back from Peru and he found Blair’s Master’s thesis and read it.

To prove he’s serious in his threats, Brackett gasses the Art Museum. Jim discovers the patrons are really only asleep by hearing their heartbeats and he can also track Brackett in the same manner. Jim gets some additional information in Brackett from a friend of Blair’s, Jack Kelso. Jack is also ex-CIA and he is also an author and teaches Foreign Affairs at Rainier.

Finally convinced Brackett is serious, Jim and Blair agree to help Brackett. Jim uses his hearing to cross a mine-laden bridge and his sense of touch to decipher a combination lock. Brackett tells Jim he will alert him to the location of the Ebola canister when he, Brackett, is out of the area. Jim doesn’t believe the story and he captures Brackett. Brackett informs Jim the virus is in the truck of his car and the bomb it’s wired to will go off in the next few minutes. Jim and Brackett disarm the bomb and Brackett is arrested.

Episode Oddities:

  • Jim was the liaison to the CIA counter-insurgency group
  • Brackett refers to Blair as "a Guide of sorts. So I’ll need you too."
