Subterranean River – “You first prick.” Nora manages to stay put while Miles & Bass find themselves on the “beach.” Randall busts up “George W” to retrieve a hidden pass card. Dan: “Your friends are gone – you’re our guest but you’re dead if you try for level 12.” Neville keeps Franklin waiting. Neville pretends he is above the ruthless nature of Monroe. Even more devious by staging a fake assault by Major Franklin. Monroe waits for Miles to wake up to start beating the crap out of him. Militia takes shot at both… Then takes another shot at Bass when he announces who he is… oops! Flashback 10 years after the blackout – reminiscing then bomb hits. Meanwhile, Aaron is snooping around in the code and discovers his code is what he wrote at MIT. University sold his code to DoD. It is the tower’s operating system. Neville decides to blast the blast doors. Jason “Sorry sir, but my head is spinning at how fast your switch sides.” Next, Neville’s speech has no compelling reason for Jason to abide, except maybe to guarantee Charlie & Rachel’s safety.
