Episode list

Not knowing what life holds for them once they reach Los Angeles, Martin and Jake, on the run from the authorities, immediately meet Lucy Robbins, Amelia's mother, upon their arrival. Lucy has been looking for her daughter now for three years, and is encouraged by her meeting with Martin. However, their relationship may not be totally harmonious as Lucy will do anything to track down Amelia, who Martin tells Lucy he knows is alive, while Martin is cognizant that they cannot bring too much public attention to themselves as Aster Corps will also do anything to hide Amelia. Jake leads them to activities by Aster Corps and a young woman they are certain is Amelia. They also enlist the help of one of Martin's old reporter colleagues, Trevor Wilcox. What they all are initially unaware of is that a young man named Calvin Norburg is working on Amelia's sequence for Aster Corps, he who is beginning to reconsider his task. They are also unaware of a Spanish speaking man currently in Brussels working on his own task associated with the chosen thirty-six.

Calvin Norburg's public diatribe against Aster Corps results in two significant events. One, wealthy venture capitalist Vikash Nayar, an investor in Aster Corps, decides to pull his money from the corporation and invest directly in the work Calvin is doing. And two, Martin and Lucy become aware of the importance of Calvin in finding Amelia. As it is near impossible to get close to Calvin due to this publicity, Martin and Trevor believe the best way to gain access to Calvin is through Vikash. Although Martin does manage to gain access to Vikash, he finds that he must first assist Vikash on his latest personal mission. Martin is yet unaware that that mission is to associated with Amelia. Other associated stories include that of a librarian named Frances, who is trying to explain to her colleague and lover Carl why she is retiring and going "underground". Lucy and Jake befriend a mother and daughter at Santa Monica pier. And Guillermo Ortiz tries to find the next name of his list, architect Rosemary Mathis, at the opening ceremonies of her new cathedral in Barcelona.

Martin figures that assuming a cover as a reporter under the name Martin Bishop is the best way to get information about Amelia while eluding the authorities. Trevor helps him in this regard by offering him a real job as a reporter at Breakwire. Calvin Norburg, in hiding, eventually does summon Martin to discuss the activities of Aster Corps, Martin not knowing that Calvin now has Amelia. They devise a plan for Martin to get into the Aster Corps offices to retrieve Calvin's work by using the pass key of who Calvin sees as the one other disillusioned Aster Corps employee who has a high enough security clearance, her name being Mallory Kane. What they are initially unaware of is that Mallory has been detained at the Pakistani border because of her work at Aster Corps. They have to find her and find a way for her to be released, as if Aster Corps and the Pakistani authorities have their way, Mallory will disappear forever. Meanwhile, Lucy and Jake meet Sophia Corliss, a grief stricken woman who has a past association with Guillermo Ortiz. And Frances, now Amelia's chief caregiver, tries to understand her new charge. The reason for her need to do this work is revealed.

Calvin hands the Aster Corps access card over to Martin, who is tasked with retrieving all Calvin's computer files from Aster Corps. Calvin warns Martin to avoid his old partner, Tony Rigby, as Tony, who did not appreciate Calvin's public departure, would exact some form of retribution if he found that Martin was there helping Calvin. Once at Aster Corps, Martin makes a last minute decision to take a different tack--to not only get Calvin's files, but, also, any files related to Amelia. Lucy pieces together the seemingly random murders, similar to Claudia Corliss', which she is sure are linked to the mystery-man in her photograph. But, she does not yet know the connection to Amelia, not the identity of the man. The Bohm's old friend, Avram, receives a visit in New York from Guillermo Ortiz, who Avram can tell is an enemy of the thirty-six. With only Jake's cell phone number as a means by which to contact them, Avram tries to warn Martin and Jake that Ortiz is probably on his way. Jake, now attending public school, slowly begins to open up to those around him, especially Soleil. Kase decides to do his own experiments with Amelia. Martin and Calvin each arrive individually at a major discovery, and have to figure out what to do with the information. Martin's decision could affect his relationship with Lucy.

Unknown to anyone else besides the two and despite not yet having even met, both Jake and Amelia make a mental connection to each other, and through their internal communication work toward meeting each other. As they manage to escape - at least in Amelia's case - they arrange for a rendezvous. However, Martin tries to find Jake, while Kase and Frances search for Amelia. In the process, Martin and Lucy become aware that they are being followed by someone, who they don't yet know is associated with Calvin, while Martin and Lucy learn why Calvin and Frances are so determined to get Amelia to complete the sequence. Meanwhile, Ortiz decides to bare his soul in a confessional, which also includes his association to the thirty-six. The priest has to decide whether to break his vow and report Ortiz to the authorities, or let a confessed murderer go free.

Off-screen, Jake reflects on radio waves. Later he turns radios to a frequency that delivers static. Desperation sends Lucy on a solo expedition to find Calvin; once she does, he offers a bargain. Amelia confronts Calvin's mother, while Martin searches for Lucy, with increasing anger. In a California wilderness, a killer importunes Heaven then happens upon a wounded man who tried suicide. On a drive, the radio signal gets clearer.

There is torrential rainstorm passing over Los Angeles. It coincides with the arrival of Dutch, an old Special Forces friend of Martin and Trevor's who Martin has called to the Breakwire offices to help in both protecting Jake from all those trying to track him down, as well as finding Amelia. Despite Lucy's intention to leave that evening as she feels she can both better help protect Jake and Martin and find Amelia on her own, Jake orchestrates Lucy's arrival at Breakwire, where Trevor is holding a small party to welcome back Dutch. The storm causes all the party attendees to remain at the offices until the storm passes, but it also causes a blackout at the offices... or so they believe. In actuality, Ortiz has tracked Jake to Breakwire, and caused the blackout himself, so that he could go undercover into the building as a city maintenance worker. Jake knows that his life is in danger, and goes into hiding. So it becomes a race between Martin and Ortiz to find Jake, Ortiz who will kill anyone in his way. Jake gets some help in eluding Ortiz by Amelia. And Ortiz discloses why Jake is so special to him from among the thirty-six.

Following the Ortiz incident at Breakwire, Martin, Jake and Lucy either have to go on the run or go into hiding because of the detailed information that was inadvertently provided to the authorities. Through the latest number provided by Jake, they run into Calvin, who they ambush. Calvin is willing to help them as he knows that Aster Corps, most specifically his former partner Tony Rigby, was behind his mother's murder and Amelia's latest abduction probably with Kase's help. Calvin doesn't know where Amelia is beyond probably being at one of Aster Corps' many isolated facilities. Using Calvin's equipment, Jake goes on his own mission to connect with Amelia. In doing so, he accomplishes two tasks, namely putting the last piece in the puzzle for Calvin to bypass the brain injury to William Norburg so that William will be able to function again, and locating Amelia. As such, Calvin on one side, and Martin, Lucy and Jake on the other, part company to achieve their individual goals. Martin, Lucy and Jake's task will not be easy as the compound where Amelia is being held is fortified and so isolated that their approach will be seen well in advance of them being able to get there.

Off-screen, Jake considers Einstein's notion that time doesn't exist. Jake hands Martin a photograph of the first patient at Dr. Teller's institute, Philip Green. Avram arrives from New York to help: he stays with Jake, who's reassembling the wheels from a clock, while Martin looks for Green. He's being executed that night for a triple murder. Martin, believing Green may be innocent, convinces his attorney to let him meet with Green, who's been silent since his arrest more than ten years before. That meeting sends Martin to Green's estranged daughter, who may hold the key to Green's pardon and release. Will Martin be in time, and what of Jake's disassembled clock?

Martin is despondent over the news from Trevor that Lucy was found dead. However, he assumes that since there was no second body found that Amelia is still alive. But Jake, using the cipher and who utters his first few words ever to Martin, sends Martin on another important task: find and stop Guillermo Ortiz. As Martin and Trevor use the extended number that Jake provides to try and find Ortiz, Jake, with Avram in tow, is off on his own mission. Reconnecting with Amelia, the three are off to the airport to track down an incoming shipment from London and its associated passenger, both of who have an important connection to what they are going through. That passenger, one of the thirty-six who has an indirect connection to Martin's past, has come to Los Angeles in part to participate in a sleep study to deal with her insomnia. What she is unaware of is that the sleep study is work being conducted by Aster Corps. Already housing six of the other thirty-six, the sleep study maps the brain waves of those six while they sleep for the numerical patterns. Farington, reconnecting with Calvin, uses the fact of the sleep study to try and bring him back under her and Aster Corp's control.

Because of a break-in at the house which Martin is certain was by Aster Corps thugs out to kill him so that they could abscond with Amelia and Jake, Martin, Jake and Amelia take refuge at Avram's apartment. Martin believes the fact that Detective Lang investigated both the incident at Breakwire and Guillermo Ortiz's death is a sign that he is meant to tell the detective the truth about himself, Amelia and Aster Corps. Before he takes Amelia to the police station to speak to Detective Lang, Martin gives Avram explicit instructions not to leave the apartment until they return. However, when Martin and Amelia leave, Jake urges Avram to go on their next mission, to find another of the thirty-six, a former military doctor, Dr. Robert McCormick. What Avram is initially unaware of is that Dr. McCormick is part of Aster Corps' sleep study. A problem that occurred with Dr. McCormick leads to a decision by Farington that could place his life in jeopardy, but a decision that also could help Avram and Jake find him.

Martin finds out that Avram has not been returning his calls because he was seen to be abducted, although the news never made it to the police. Going back to where Avram was last seen, Martin runs into Dr. McCormick. Martin learns from an indirect source that Dr. McCormick is involved in a sleep study being conducted on some of the thirty-six, who believe they are being treated solely for a rare case of insomnia. Martin believes that obtaining Dr. McCormick's journal and infiltrating the so-called "sleep" clinic are keys to finding some answers, including Avram's whereabouts. As he is certain that the sleep clinic is being run by Aster Corps, Martin has to devise a plan to get in without detection. As he is unknown to Aster Corps, Trevor volunteers to infiltrate the clinic by posing as a walk-in patient. If Trevor's true purpose is discovered, it will probably mean his life. Meanwhile, Farington is up front with Calvin regarding her motivations and the need to speed up the experiments to yield results. Calvin has to decide if he will go along with her, partly based on the threat that she will turn him in for kidnapping Amelia, and partly on her veiled threat against William, or secretly go against her as her directive for Dr. Linus in the experiments is leading to the patients dying.

Avram learns who abducted him and its connection to the work he was originally sent to do with Arthur Teller. Meanwhile, Martin, with a concussion, awakens in a hospital ER, learning that he was involved in a hit and run car accident, and that Jake and Amelia are nowhere to be found. He rightly surmises that the accident was orchestrated by Aster Corps, who now have Jake and Amelia. What he doesn't know is that Farington has them hidden on a cargo ship called Leviathan at Pier 17. She and Linus want to induce Jake and Amelia into a coma to accelerate the process of completing the sequence, as they require it before their financial report, indicating a major loss, is made public, which would ruin the company. However, Calvin warns that such a measure could possibly kill Jake and Amelia. But Calvin too is in a conundrum as his brother is close to death, the completed sequence which would save his life. As Amelia and Jake plot their escape, they hope with Calvin's help, Martin and Trevor try to track the children, starting with some evidence they find in Martin's damaged car.
