Surveillance footage shows cult member Alex Lipton and another man putting Agent Parker in the trunk of their car outside of the shelter. A boy wearing a Poe mask shows up at the police station, saying that a woman named Emma gave him $20 to wear it over there. A phone number is discovered inside the mask.

When they call the number, it connects them to a cell phone in the coffin with Agent Parker. She tells them what “little” she recalls while being stuck in the trunk. She “only” remembers going over a railroad track, counting to 700 (which another agent instantaneously determines is just over 10 minutes), turning onto a dirt road and driving for about 5 minutes. She tells Hardy that’s “all” she remembers.

They are able to determine a large general area and head out. They find Alex’s car on the side of the road, with a blown tire. The tire is slashed, meaning they were supposed to find the car. As they are looking around, Alex is in the woods with a gun, and starts shooting at the agents. He kills at least one before Hardy is able to sneak over to him and capture him.

Let me first say how surprisingly difficult it was to watch this episode. After what has happened the last week in Boston, to all of a sudden be watching a show about a manhunt for entertainment kind of threw me for a loop. I live about an hour/hour and a half from Boston, and work less than 20 miles away.

It was a horrible, scary week, and I just wanted to mention that this episode has some activity that brought me right back to that week. I in no way want to seem insensitive by reviewing this episode, but if Fox was okay with airing it, I will do my part and review it.

The episode starts with Joe again watching a tape of Hardy and Molly having sex. Joe keeps replaying a snippet of video where Hardy says “Can’t kill me, I’m already dead.”

Claire takes Joey and tries to leave, but the front gate is locked. She is confronted by Roderick and a bunch of followers, who bring them back inside. Claire is fitted with a tracking device. Joe tells her that trust must be earned.

While investigating the old armory, Hardy gets a call from Joe. Joe is having trouble with the motivation of Hardy’s character in the novel, and wants to hear about the death of his father. Hardy accuses Joe of being desperate, and Joe hangs up on him.

The FBI finds ties to an old militia man, Daniel Monroe. He is now a black market arms dealer. At the safe house, Joe, Vince, and Roderick are also discussing Monroe. Roderick says they can trust Monroe, but Joe wants him dead anyway. Joe is taking Vince and Jacob with him.

Joe calls Hardy to gloat about winning this round. He also wants to cheer Hardy up so he keeps playing the game. He tells Hardy he needs to be a functioning alcoholic.

Claire arrives at Joe’s house, and Jacob brings her up to her private room. He leaves some clothes for her. Claire wants to see her son and refuses to listen to Jacob. Jacob throws her down and tells her that Joe has allowed him to hurt her, so long as he doesn’t cut or bruise her face.

Molly brings Joe all of the evidence she has on Hardy. Apparently she was enlisted by Joe to follow Hardy. She lives next to Hardy, and has journals and videotapes.

Jacob is having visions of Paul all throughout his room. Paul is telling him to kill Emma. Joe has forced Jacob to reconcile with Emma. Emma tries to have sex with Jacob, but he threatens her. He confesses that he killed Paul, and now he has a real taste for it.

Hardy and Parker learn of the breach in the secure cell phone line, and fear that Joe and his followers now know where Claire is being held. Hardy demands that he be put in charge of Claire’s safety.

Hardy arrives at the hotel where Claire is being held. They need to move her again. Roderick, along with two of Joe’s men (children of a militia camp) come to the hotel to get Claire. Several of the guards are killed, and Hardy and Claire escape out the back door.

After a meeting with bureaus in DC, Donovan informs Parker and Hardy that DC is taking over the investigation, and they will stay on to run the task force. Parker is instructed to keep an eye on Hardy.

Carroll speaks to his followers with the promise of elevating their lives through death. He wants them to write their own chapters, and it is time for the next part of the story.

A woman arrives at a cabin to find dishes in the sink. This confuses her for some reason. There must be someone in the house. She finds Paul on the couch and Jacob comes up behind her. It’s Jacob’s mom!

Back at the Carroll compound, a woman, Amanda, is trying to tell Joe her chapter. She is very nervous. Roderick tries to calm her down.

Finally, some more believable casting news for the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Lately, we’ve been fielding news about names like Sally Field (now playing Aunt May), Martin Sheen (Uncle Ben) and Denis Leary (Capt. Stacey) joining the film, but now we have some more grounded information, as four new names have been added to the film.

Campbell Scott (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), Julianne Nicholson (Kinsey), Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire), and Annie Parisse (Rubicon) are all now joining the cast. Here’s the scoop from THR.

Scott and Nicholson will be Parker’s parents, who leave their son an orphan. Parker’s parents have rarely been seen in the various Marvel comic book series and have never appeared on-screen. It is unclear if they will appear in flashbacks, in a prologue or during the course of the movie.
