You know,

I don't pilot these drones.

I like to get my hands dirty.

- Bang on doors.

- GREY:
So who are these guys?

We don't know yet.

I do have a list of people

of interest in that area.

And just this week,

I brought in two people

- for questioning.

- So what you're saying

is you have all these things

flying above our heads,

they can read the ID chips

in our fillings,

but they don't actually

do anything?

No. I... I mean, yes, they work,

but it's not that simple.

Criminals can find ways

around them.

If they can find

the right people,

criminals can get a firewall

built around them

that prevents our drones

from identifying their faces.

Believe me, I understand

your frustration, I do.

I know I can't tie

my shoes anymore, Detective,

but you don't have

to talk to me

like I'm a goddamn

three-year-old.

Grey, she's just trying

to help.

I'm going to work

through my list,

and if you want to work with me,

we're gonna find them.

How can I work with you?

I can't even stand.

GREY:
Administer p.m. medicine.

Problem.

Administer p.m. medicine.

Again.

Administer p.m. medicine.

Problem. Again.

Again.

KARA:
I cannot administer

any more medication, Grey.

No. You... you didn't do it

right.

You didn't do...

you didn't do it right.

Administer p.m. medicine.

KARA:
Another dosage

could be fatal.

I will contact an ambulance

to transport you

to a hospital

if you are in serious pain.

[EKG BEEPING]

Not gonna give you

bird flu, kid.

I don't leave my house

very often.

Must be frustrating for you.

You're someone who liked to get

things done with their hands.

Now you can't.

I'm sorry.

Was that inappropriate?

I'm not around enough people

to know the difference.

Okay. Here's the difference.

What the f*** do you want, Eron?

[FOOTSTEPS PASSING BY]

Grey...

What if I told you

I could offer you something

that would enable you

to walk again?

That computer chip

that I showed you,

it has the potential to change

everything for people

in your condition.

As a quadriplegic,

the line connecting your brain

to your limbs has been cut,

Stem would bridge that gap.

The operation would take

place in my home,

away from official eyes.

There'd be no more

hospitals,

but it would have to be

our secret...

for now.

Here's the thing, kid.

I'm not looking to restart

my life.

I'm looking

for the off switch.

You know...

you were right about them.

Computers,

there are things

that they can't do.

They can't bring her back, Grey,

but they just might be able

to bring you back.

What would she want?

ERON:
This is a world first.
