[opening voiceover] To carry a secret is to play with fire. Try to pass it on, and you risk hurting someone else. Hold on to it... and eventually, you'll get burned.

[opening voiceover] In the art of war, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the approaching battles. But if you know only yourself and not your enemy... for every victory, there will also be defeat.
I tried. The encryption's insane. It's gonna take weeks.
Then, Nolan, you need to get started. Look at me. I know you that are hurting, but you need to stop blaming yourself, get on your computer and dig until you find them. And I swear to God, when you do, I will help you save her. I give you my word.
[opening voiceover] A person's true identity can often be difficult to discern... even to themselves. Causing one to question their character, their calling, their very existence. For most, time provides clarity. But for others, these questions remain unanswered. For an identity cannot be fully defined, when it is a guarded secret.
When this is all over, when... when they've paid for what they did to your father, then what?
I can be with you.
Then marry the son of a bitch. And take them down. Once and for all.
[opening voiceover] Engagement can be a commitment to love, or a declaration of war. One must enter every battle without hesitation, willing to fully engage the enemy, till death do you part.
Thought you went to school.
Charlotte flaked on me again. She was supposed to drive me.
Does it have anything to do with that paparazzi video of her with that girl? Why didn't you talk to me about it, man? I gotta hear about it from a group of barflies? What's going on?
She's in a really dark place and she's... she has been ever since Amanda...
She into drugs again?
I don't know. I don't know, maybe. It's pretty hard for me to tell with her blowing me off every day.
[Declan takes a handful of bills from the bar's tip jar] What are you...?
I need money for bus fare.
How many buses are you taking?
Hey, do you know why you're supposed to bury a politician a hundred feet down? 'Cause deep down, they're really good people.
[opening voiceover] Darkness scares us. We yearn for the comfort of light, as it provides shape and form, allowing us to recognize, to define what's before us. But what is it we're afraid of, really? Not the darkness itself, but the truth we know hides within.
Look, you're not gonna tell mom and dad about me being pregnant, are you?
You think that's a conversation I want to be a part of?

All five New York City boroughs and additional outlying areas have been completely powerless for going on five hours. Thus far, authorities are at a loss to explain how multiple power grids, in addition to numerous communication networks could have all failed at once...
Carrion.
But I thought the only person with the ability to activate the program was the Falcon. How could she do that if she's behind bars?
She didn't have to. You did it for her.
Emily's right. The Falcon must have altered Carrion so that when we hacked the Amanda Clarke Foundation...
It triggered the chain reaction.
And she made sure that you used Aiden's administration code to set everything in motion. Everything that we did to prevent this...
Will now prove that I caused it.
And we don't even know what they're going to do while the lights are out. This could be catastrophic!
Aiden, you need to go dark.
No, I can take care of this...
[interrupting] No, you listen to me. I have been through this before. I'm not gonna sit back and watch the Initiative turn you into their next David Clarke.
You're gonna be a great mother.
Based on what? I have the worst role models in parental history.
[opening voiceover] Fear. It's a fire that burns from birth in even the coldest heart. It motivates and paralyzes the best of us or is used as a weapon by the worst. But when your path is one of treachery and deception, the greatest fear of all is that the truth is absolute.
I think about all the opportunities you had to tell me. That night under the fireworks, the night Sammy died...
I wanted to.
But you didn't. So I ask myself... Why? Why was this so important to you? Then a couple weeks ago, I was leaving my uncle's place in Pittsburgh and Carl was asleep in the back. I looked in the rearview and, just as he was waking up, his eyes caught mine, and... he just sprang to life. And in that moment, I saw... the love that a child has for their father. And I understood... why you're doing what you're doing. Why you told me when you did. To save me. [kisses her, then pulls away] I didn't know how I felt about you until this moment. And I'm sorry. I just don't feel anything. I'll keep your secret, but it's just me and Carl now. Leave us alone.
I'm not killing anybody, Jack. But I will let them suffer. These are terrible people doing terrible things. This is what they deserve.
Did Amanda get what she deserved? Did Declan? Will I once the Graysons start connecting dots? Because they know what Amanda Clarke was trying to do to them. They just killed the wrong girl.
