Synopsis
After looking for a link between the Campbells and the FBI, Peter is forced to go on the run with Rose in search of a hard drive — and more answers.

Plot
In a flashback to when Rose's company failed 3 months ago, she received a call from their largest customer while she was conducting an interview. He was irate that his business' system had been hacked. She quickly investigated the issue and discovered that Adam had messed with the codes on their end.

In the present, Rose provides Jamie Hawkins and Diane Farr her statement. She is interrogated by Jamie who believes she is hiding something. Jamie doesn't think Peter Sutherland should be protecting Rose, because he's not qualified, but Diane assures him that Peter is ready.

Diane tells Rose she will be taken to a hotel, while being protected under Secret Service security. Till it is safe, she is to stay there.

Peter asks why she withheld information and she reminds him the White House has been compromised. At the hotel, Rose complains about the room being like a jail. Peter sends books to her room.

Ellen and the Dale, the assassins, return to Washington, DC. Ellen is interested in opening the bag, but Dale cautions her against opening it because it might be hazardous.

At a meeting in the White House, Jamie tells the attendees that the Emma and Henry Campbell worked for the FBI in counterintelligence and had retired. He believed they called Night Action because they were doing something off the books.

After the meeting, Diane asks Peter to double-check Jamie's work and get the files on the Campbells', even though it's above Peter's clearance. She is curious whether Peter is willing to do what it takes to discover the truth and protect Rose.

Peter's colleague tells him the ring worn by the intruder resembles a sigil from the Yugoslav Royal House, which means the first owner might be a member of a royal family.

Peter discovers that Jamie used to be the Campbells' handler while they were employed by the FBI. Diane is unaware of this as well, and he wonders what else Hawkins might be keeping a secret. She requests that he keep their newfound knowledge to themselves.

Peter receives a call from the night action number from Rose, who's feeling lonely. She wants to know if they are making progress on the case. She is reassured by Peter that they are pursuing some new leads. Peter shares with Rose his previous dream of becoming a professional basketball player, while Rose tells him that she was betrayed by a friend. Rose invites Peter to join her for breakfast the following morning.

Dale and Ellen are staying in a motel. Ellen opens the bag and finds a nanny cam. She questions whether they can download the files, but Dale advises her to leave it alone. Gordon Wick and Ashley Redfield call Dale and notify him that they have new details about the target. They send him new information.

Gordon tells Ashley that Dale has been working for him for the past eight years and recently brought in Ellen. They make a good team and have excellent results.

Peter tells Diane of his plan to have breakfast with Rose. Diane hopes this relationship will help Rose open up.

Peter arrives at the hotel to find the Secret Service agents are gone. The power suddenly goes out. Peter rushes to Rose's room and finds the door is unlocked. They try to flee quickly, but Dale spots them on the steps and starts shooting.

Peter and Rose jump through the glass window and flee into the streets. They go to a clothing store to get new clothes because Rose is only wearing a robe. Ellen fails to find them and gets frustrated.

At the motel, Dale tries to calm Ellen down. Dale receives a call giving them a new mission.

Peter calls Diane and asks who removed the Secret Service agents. Diane kicks everyone out of the room, except for Ben Almora and Nathan Briggs from the Secret Service. Ben says it's impossible and tells Nathan to investigate, who finds out that a command was issued 30 minutes ago, pulling out the agents. Only the President, Diane, Ben, Nathan, and Jamie have such power. Jamie Hawkins can't be reached, which Rose finds suspicious.

Rose decides to head back to the Campbells' house to investigate what got them killed. At the house, Rose shares with Peter what she heard that evening regarding Osprey, the engineer, and some documents. They said that someone would happen in 7 days and the country would be in trouble. Rose recalls her uncle saying something about a drive in the woods, so they drive there.

Jamie meets with Gordon Wick.

Peter tries to persuade Rose during the journey that she doesn't need to do her own investigation because she can trust the FBI. He assures her that he would look after her and avoid a repeat of the incident at the hotel.

At the cabin in the woods, they find a hard drive that has been heavily encrypted. Rose can't access the files. Peter discovers the files are named 2781, which is the number of the train he was riding on when the bomb detonated. He wonders what Rose’s aunt and uncle were doing investigating the metro bombing.

Peter calls Diane, who reveals it was Jamie Hawkins who gave the order to pull the agents, but Jamie is dead. He was killed and dumped on a farm. Peter tells Diane about the encrypted hard drive, and she orders them to go to the White House and bring the hard-drive.
