I'll stay right here.
Thank you.
Those things

They been k*lling

A few days unchecked,
they'll wipe out

What are you gonna

Well, that's between

That's okay.
I understand these things.

I just wanted to thank you

This place was crabgrass

United Data Group.
Good afternoon. This is Boyd.
How may I help you?
Boyd.
Uh, hello.
I just got a message saying
that there's a problem
with my computer.
Don't you worry.
The message you received
is from our United Data Group
antivirus software.
It's part of
the software package
that you pre-installed
on your computer.
I'm sorry.
I'm not a computer person.
What did you say the name
of your product is again?
[BEES BUZZING]
Now, our records show
that you actually
have an older version
on your account.
So what I'm going to need you
to do is uninstall that
and install
the latest version.
Well, I have no idea
how to do that.
My daughter set up
everything for me.
Well, I would recommend
you take your computer
to an IT specialist.
However, keep in mind
that you will lose
all your data,
since they'll have to replace
the hard drive.
I'm pretty remote out here.
Everything I have
is on the computer.
Okay. There is actually
a software package
that you can download
that would allow me
to reinstall remotely.
All right. [SIGHS]
Tell me what to do.
It's okay. Can you, uh,
can you type this,
Friendly friend dot net?
Spelled just how it sounds.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Okay. I'm there.
And there should be a button
on your screen
that says "install."
-Can you click on that button?
- [MOUSE CLICKS]
I clicked the button.
So you're about
to see some windows
open, close on your desktop,
as I reinstall
the virus shield for you.
[LINE MUTES]
Okay.
I hope you f*cking clowns
are paying attention.
You stick to the script,
but not so much that you sound
like a g*dd*mn robot.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Ooh.

Totally normal.
Just do not touch

[BEES BUZZING]
Because of this inconvenience,
I'm going to credit back

How about that?
I've gone ahead
and deposited $500

Oh, that's not my account.
That's an account

Can you log into that account

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

This is the master password

Okay, so the second we get it,
we zero out everything.

AGENT: Until we can clear him,
he's our best and only perp.
Clear him?
Agent Parker,
I know that's your mother.
I understand.
But there's a world where
she committed su1c1de.
su1c1de? You can't be serious.
That woman loved life
more than anybody I know.
But by all means,
let's just completely ignore
the big white dude
in her house with a Kn*fe.
Get him up.
Come on.
AGENT 2: It's Clay, right?
Adam Clay?
I don't have much to say.
Mr. Clay, we just got
a couple of questions.
Like, what the f*ck
were you doing
in my mother's house?
I was bringing her
a jar of honey.
A jar of honey.
Who the f*ck are you?
Winnie-the-Pooh?
I keep bees.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
How do you know my mother?
I rent some space
in the barn from her.
I have a signed lease.
But what the f*ck
were you doing in her house?
She didn't answer
when I knocked.
I noted her car
in the driveway.
I heard the smoke alarm
and I entered.
You "noted"?
You got a law enforcement
background?
I told you,
I take care of bees.

AGENT 2: His hands tested

But the prints on the g*n
were your mother's.
It seems, sadly,
it was su1c1de.
Mr. Clay, I need to apologize
for last night.
I realize I may have been
a little aggressive.
That's understandable.
Could I interest you
in something a bit stronger?
No.
But I'll sit with you
if you like.
No, thank you.
I wanted to thank you
for taking care of my mom.
I tried to stay in her life
as much as I could.
Obviously, I could have
done a better job.
Being old
can be a lonely thing.
Turn a certain age, you cease
to exist. Cease to matter.
Used to be a part of life,
of the family.
Part of the hive,
I guess you could say.
There's some British Isles
hiding in your accent.
I was born there.
I hated that she was
out here alone.
She wouldn't leave.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
There's too many memories.
You know, I think I know
why she liked you.
You're just like my brother.
He was in MARSOC,
a Marine Raider.
He was k*lled
a few years ago kicking doors.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
She loved him.
He'd mow the lawn
and you'd think
he invented fire. [CHUCKLES]
You know, while I graduated
the FBI Academy
and she said,
"Oh, that's nice."
She got scammed.
Somebody emptied out
all her accounts,
her savings, her retirement.
Got every penny.
Maxed out all her cards.
She was an educator,
director of a charity
for kids.
They got two million
out of that account.
-You know who did it?
-[SIGHS]
I talked to an agent
in our cyber-crimes office.
This crew's been operating
for two years
and we don't even have names.
And even if we did, good luck
building an indictment
that would stand up in court.
Some defense attorney
would just argue that
the elderly victim agreed
to wire a complete stranger
his entire life savings.
Taking from an elderly person
is as bad as stealing
from a child.
Maybe worse.
Someone hurts a child,
there are parents.
People who care,
ready to step in.
Someone hurts
an older person...
sometimes they're left to face
the hornets alone.
Because either
it goes unnoticed...
or no one cares.
I care.
And I'm stubborn.
And so help me God,
I'm going to get these
m*therf*ckers who did this.
I need to take care
of the hive.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

is more important.

Even the FBI can't
find these people.
Well, we're not the FBI,

sh**t me the deets

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

What?

For someone who has elevated
f*cking up into an art form,
this might well

How did I f*ck up?
[CHUCKLING] I don't know.
You've done something.
You've disturbed a Beekeeper.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
So f*cking what?
Why'd I care if the guy
keeps bees?
If a Beekeeper
says you're gonna die,
you're gonna die.
There's nothing I can do
or anybody else to stop it.
So, like, what do you
even do here, then?
What good are you?
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
I did 35 years of loyal
government service,
culminating as director
of the world's
premier intelligence agency.
I could have done anything,
but I chose this job
as a favor to your mother.
I keep
Danforth Enterprises safe.
Keep her reputation safe,
her name safe.
It's my f*cking name too,
all right?
Oh, sit down.
I put up with you.
I've put up
with your tantrums,
kept you out of the tabloids,
kept you out of jail.
The endless stream
of sex workers.
You're a drowning man.
Do you know that?
Mm.
You're scared.
Dead right I'm scared.
Terrified. So should you be.
Wallace, just tell me
what the f*ck this guy is.
He's probably
the last pair of eyes
that you're going to sneer at.
VERONA: Okay, listen.
Remember our favorite
burning building?
United Data Group.
The guys who work there
are hackers,
con men, fraudsters,
et cetera, et cetera.
Guy who ran it. Garnett.
He's in the book.
He's a known mob associate.
He's missing, but I've got
PD chasing him down.
Okay, so I had some analysts
run some sh*t,
and I think I'm starting to
get the shape of the animal.
Dude, I think
United Data Group
is one of several
call centers.
So there's got to be
like a central office
that's controlling
all of them,
and that's what
we got to find.
Wiley, this could be like
a billion-dollar-a-year
operation.
-Hello?
-Hey!
Did you hear a single word
I just said?
Yeah.
And?
I was just thinking
you come in here,
hungover on your day off,
and gain more yardage
on this thing
than the whole squad has
in two years.
Yeah, well,
they f*cked with my family.
What'd you get on Clay?
-Your beekeeper?
-Yeah.
He's a ghost.
What?
Yeah, all I have
is a birth certificate
and a social.
-The guy's never even
-[SIGHS]
had a bank account,
credit card, flown on a plane.
I ran his prints through
every database
I can think of, no hits.
That's bullshit.
This dude is former m*llitary

No hits. I'm telling you.
Either he's never
been printed,
or Adam Clay doesn't exist.
Which is terrifying to me
because he's probably
in a classified program.

Well, he's made his bed.
I'll give you a board seat

That's another million a year.
Plus you promised

Look, I don't need that.

Just hear me out.
Now, you know who I work for,
don't you?
Oh, yeah.
God help you, Wallace.
Exactly.
Well, Director Harward,
my young friend,
seems to have caught
the unwanted attentions of...
I don't know
how else to say this.
Of a Beekeeper.
Wait, a Beekeeper Beekeeper?
As in.
-Well, that's not good.
-No, it's not.
-What's the body count?
-Seven today.

Well, that changes everything.
The current active Beekeeper
is aware of the issue
and is going
to be taking things from here.
You can rest easy, old friend.
Oh, no. Janet.

We're way cooler than A*F.
I'll show you

That's a Minigun.
They use those

WILEY: I know.
Did you know
that's 100 rounds a second?
Yep, I know.
Did you know

It's because

Okay, then, do you know
who Anisette Landress is?
-Yes, I do.
-Go ahead and tell me.
Someone who doesn't exist
in any commercial
or government database.
Someone who's a ghost.
Like our good friend
Adam Clay.
"Beekeeping for Beekeepers."
Here's another reason
that Anisette Landress
is like our good friend
Adam Clay.
Do you know what's that way?
-Springfield...
-[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

-WALLACE: Yeah, come on,

Don't play with those things.
They go off.
Sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.
When I was sworn in
as director,
I was read into programs
I never imagined existed.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Well...
there are programs
even I wasn't privy to.
Like the Beekeepers.
The honeybee has always
had a special relationship
with humanity.
A sacred relationship.
Why? No bees, no agriculture.
No agriculture,
no civilization.
Our nation is not
unlike a beehive,
with its complex systems
of workers,
caretakers, even royalty.
If any of the beehive's
complex mechanisms
are compromised,
the hive collapses.
Someone
a long time ago decided
that a mechanism was needed
to keep our nation safe.
A mechanism
outside the chain of command,
outside the system.
Its one mission,
to keep the system safe.
Beekeepers are given
all resources,
empowered to act
on their own judgment.
For decades,
they have quietly worked
to keep the hive safe.
That is, until now.
It appears
that a retired Beekeeper
has gone off program
and is acting
in what he mistakenly believes
is the hive's best interest.
MAN: Can't somebody just
pick up the phone
and tell this yahoo
to stand-the-f*ck down?
That's the one thing
Beekeepers don't do.
Stand down.
Not unlike bees themselves,
Beekeepers keep working
until they die.
So he's basically one of us.
No. He's not like you.
You're tier one operators,
former SEAL Team Six,
Delta Group.
You are, in other words,
pussies.
-[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-If you were in the same room,
he would k*ll you.
With enough of you,
then maybe you just might
in fact be able to k*ll him
before he accomplishes
his goal.
What would that be?
To k*ll his way
to the top of the hive.
Mr. Pettis, you should
get your people moving.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS]
[MUSIC FADES OUT]
Dude, bees are interesting
little shits.
Did you know that?
I know they pollinate
a bunch of sh*t
and we'd be f*cked
without them.
Listen.
"Some bees are queen slayers,
"which will rise up
and k*ll their queen
"if she fails to produce

Here's another

Thank f*ck.
You know,
I was getting sick of enjoying
my peaceful thoughts.
Sir.
Sir,
this is Special Agent Parker,
Special Agent Wiley.
They'll be briefing you.
This is Deputy Director Prigg
and Amanda Munoz,
special counsel.
Mr. Deputy Director,
my colleague and I believe
that three major crime scenes
in our area
are connected
to a single subject.
Adam Clay.
He k*lled six people today.
Based on the extensive
use of tradecraft
and the nature of his alias,
we believe
that Mr. Clay is connected
to a classified program
named Beekeeper.
A program that none
of our partner agencies
seem willing to acknowledge.
Let's stick to what we know,
Special Agent Parker.
Yes, sir.
In any event, this individual
is highly capable
and extremely motivated,
and we believe that he's
on his way to Boston,
if not already here.
And we believe
that this is his next target,
Nine Star United,
which appears to be the entity
operating the regional
call centers,
like the one
that Mr. Clay b*rned down.
Why is Adam Clay
on this rampage?
He's, um,
protecting the hive, sir.
It's what Beekeepers do.
I have enough
to brief the director.
-What's your ask?
-VERONA: My ask?
Uh, well, a SWAT team,
for starters.
Surveillance support,
additional agents, analysts.
That shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you.
-Did that just happen?
-Yeah.

I'm sorry to break it to you,

with no heirs, no family.
Nine Star United uses
data mining software
to identify these people
and then target their assets.
There's another
company involved, sir,
a company who is a vendor
to the intelligence community
and to the Justice Department.
In fact,
we use this company's software
in this very office
to identify financial fraud.
Are you going to tell me
the name of this company?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Danforth Enterprises.
With an annual revenue
of $10 billion,
founded and operated
by Jessica Danforth,
who recently stepped down
because she was sworn in
as President
of the United States.
She self-financed
her campaign.
Yeah.
None of that money was clean.
Who else knows this?
Us three.
I have a really bad memory,
sir.
PRIGG: Let's, uh,
keep the circle small,
until I can brief the director
and the attorney general.
Not a word of this to anyone.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
And, Mr. Clay,
I see his k*ll count
is steadily rising.
In a beehive,
there is something
called a "queen slayer."
It's a bee that will rise up
and k*ll the queen
if she produces
defective offspring.
I thought we were sticking
to the known knowns.
[CLEARS THROAT] Right. Yes.
Not that Beekeepers exist.
But Mr. Clay
does keep honey bees.
He admires their willingness
to sacrifice themselves
for the greater good.
Our concern is that Clay
believes that Derek Danforth
is the defective offspring
of a queen,
thereby Clay will strike
at the heart of the problem
and become a queen slayer.
Adam Clay's next victim
is Derek Danforth's mother?
President Danforth, sir.
You have a blank check.
Good luck.
[BEEP]
Thank you.

I was just trying

I was going to win
with or without your help.
We were already rich.
Your father built an empire.
Yeah. And you were going
to f*cking
break it up into pieces
and sell it off.
Well, in the name
of public service
because I care and I want
to leave a better world.
Okay. Right.
Yeah, because
you hate the fact
that being the president
is just like
