## History

### Death of Martin Queller

Martin has dinner with all his children where Nick was invited. Jane tells Andrew that she wants to see him more often, but the latter complains that she is always on tour. The brothers all fight as Nick tells Martin that he is studying economics and is interested in finance and how it corrupts people. When Martin asks about his father, he says that he was a drunk who beat up his mother, which made him see that he would have to fight for things on his own.

As Jane plays the piano, she is approached by Nick, who tells her not to stop. He sees a small journal where Jane says that Martin would keep track of her mistakes, which he finds a bit extreme. He sits next to her and says that he was surprised by the family dinner. They talk about their mothers, and Jane says that she feels her mother with her when she plays, which Nick says is lonely. That night, Jane lies awake and gets up, walking towards her window and sees Nick swimming nude.

After her concert, Nick approaches Jane and asks if she wants a ride. However, she says that a car had been sent for her. He asks if she would really just go home after playing like that, saying that he knows she tries not to feel things so she would not get hurt, which he gets, but says it is not how it needs to be. The car gets there for her, but she tells Nick to take her somewhere. They go to a club full of people and they start dancing as they take a drug together. They start making out with each other after that.

Jane tells Andrew that their father now knew about Nick and the relationship they had together. Andrew says that he and Nick also had a thing as a van pulls up. In the van are both Nick and Paula who say they brought everything they needed. They get in the van and Paula starts driving them, but Jane says that she does not think she can go through with what they were going to do. They make it to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where Nick tells Jane to flash a light three times if she saw a car.

Playing pool, Martin asks Nick how school is going. He says that he is getting by and would be finishing in May, so Martin asks what his plans were because there might be a place for him at his company. As Jane hands him a whiskey, he says that he knows he was from Detroit, his father worked at a factory and that Nick Harp is dead, having died from an overdose four years ago. He asks Nick who he really is, which he says is ridiculous, but Martin asks if he really thought he was just going to waltz out with his daughter and her trust fund. Nick says that he is very serious about Jane, which Martin says does not surprise him since everybody would want to marry a Queller. Nick tells Martin that he does not want anything from him because he is a gangster and everything he owns has blood on it. He leaves and asks Jane if she would go with him. Jane follows him and tells Nick that her father was being protective, asking if what he said was real. Nick ignores the question and asks if what they have is real; Jane says it is, so Nick says that she should have his back and they should get out of there. He asks her to choose between him or her father so that she could live life on her own terms or she would never see him again.

After hurting her hand, Jane walks to Nick's house and they start having sex. The next morning, Nick is telling a group of people that the choice they had made was not an easy one. He introduces her to Grace Juno, whose husband and three children were dead thanks to her father.

People protest outside the International Economic Forum, where professor Alex Maplecroft signs in. She is not really Alex, however, but Grace Juno and was also sent there by Nick, who says he would be ready to press a detonator. Paula makes her way to the bathroom, where she finds cash. Nick assured her that everyone would know what happened to her family. Grace is approached by Queller, who is passive aggressive with her. She tells him they would discuss it later.

### After Martin's death

Jane cries as Andrew approaches her at Martin's funeral. Jasper and Nick talk while Jane realizes Andrew is high. She says she did not know what Grace was going to do and asks Nick what his conversation with Jasper was about. Andrew says that Jasper is worried that the Army of the Changing World would go for him next. However, Nick says that the FBI was alert after everything that had happened. Jane tells Nick that they do not need money, but he says that it is not about the money, but people knowing what they stand for, which Andrew agrees with. Jane tells him that he would get caught but he says that he was just getting started.

Nick puts a mask on, walking towards a protest which supported Reagan and the fight against AIDS, joining them. He grabs a suitcase full of money and throws a smoke bomb, which alerts an FBI agent. They follow him, but are not able to find him thanks to his mask.

Jane makes it to an abandoned train station, where she meets with a man who takes her to Nick. She tells the group which included Andrew that she brought as much food as she could and assures Paula that she made sure she was not followed. Paula says that she did not want to kill anyone, but Nick says that everybody should settle down.

Jane tells Nick that maybe they should make it all stop, saying Grace was unstable to the police, but Nick says that only she and Nick would be fine. Nick says that they would let Maplecroft go the next day as Jane walks into the room where she is being kept. Jane gives her water as Paula and Quarter look and see that they were followed by cops. Shooting starts and Maplecroft wields a weapon, which she stabs through Nick's left hand. After that, Nick slits her throat using the knife in his hand. Paula tells them that Quarter had been shot as she sees that Maplecroft was now dead. Nick removes the object from his hand and tells Jane to get moving. The group moves as the FBI chases after them and in the end, they manage to make it out of there.

In a car, the radio tells the group that Maplecroft and another man had been killed. Andrew, Jane, Paula, and Nick all make it to a house, where he approaches Eli and his wife, calling them lifesavers. Eli offers them all they need as Nick goes to help Andrew unpack. Nick asks Jane if she is okay and hugs her. When Andrew gets out of the van, he collapses and the group sees that he had been shot. Jane wants to take him to a doctor, but Nick refuses.

On the news, Jane watches Jasper say that the Army of the Changing World were terrorists, so Nick gets angry and shuts the TV off, saying that they should bomb him and his precious company, which Jane says he cannot do. Nick asks why he could not do it, so Jane asks if he is not simply wanting revenge because it was getting hard to tell. She goes to help Andrew as Nick walks away.

Jane sees that Andrew has a fever and asks why he had not said anything. He says that he is dying for something he believes in, which makes Jane realize he was just like Nick. She asks him to let her take him to a hospital, but he refuses, saying he would be fine. Jane tells her brother he is pregnant and hopes that she has a daughter. She says that she does not want to be alone and wants him there with her, but he says that she would not be alone. Walking to a basket, Jane takes out a bag which has a cassette; listening to it and hearing Nick tell Jasper how to act.

Nick approaches her and asks what she was doing. Jane responds that she would take Andrew to a hospital because he would not make it, which Nick knows and is ready to accept. Jane does not care if the cops were looking for them and Nick says that he did not want those things to happen, telling her that the world had broken them, but they had been able to find each other. She shoves him and says that she could not go through with it anymore. Nick tells her that Eli would take them to the border and help them, but she refuses. He grabs her and shoves her to the ground, telling her that if she ever left him, he would scorch the world to find her, punching her in the face. After Jane was hurt by Nick, she walked up on him and knocked him out, taking Andrew to the van and thanking Eli's wife.

### Meeting Andy

When Clara used to take care of Andy she walked one night walked into her tool shed after hearing some noise, but did not see anyone. The next day, Andy went to play with her dolls and is approached by Nick, who tells her that he saved her dolls, who were going to fall into lava. She says that she has the whole forest to herself, which he says is cool. He asks where her mother is, and Andy says she is gone and is now growing flowers. She tells him her name, which he recognizes. He invites her to go swimming and says they could go to a creek, but Eli and Clara start calling for Andy, so Nick says goodbye. He gives her a coin and says that as long as she had it, it would mean he would go back.

### Present

Nick tells Jane that he saw her interview and had been keeping up with her. Jane tells him that he should have gone to see her himself, but he reminds her that he is a fugitive. Jane wants to make things right between them, saying that she could give him what he wants in exchange for being left alone. She offers to let him own Jasper and Nick asks where they should meet, to which Jane replies that the last place where they had seen each other. As Jane drives, she sees a text message, which says that she should take better care of their daughter.

In the present, Andy walks down the stairs at Eli's house. There, she sees Nick waiting for her. He says that she had been sleeping all day and introduces himself, telling her that he is her father.

Andy sits down and is handed a cup of coffee by Nick, who tells her that there had been an accident where she had hit her head very hard. She asks where Charlie is and Nick says that he was taken to a hospital. Andy asks about Clara, who Nick says is long gone, handing her a jacket. Nick knows that it must be a shock to see him and Andy asks if he loved her mother. Nick says that he did and Andy hands her the photo of Laura hurt. He says he is sorry that happened, he did not know that Jane was pregnant until he finally saw her. Andy remembers him from the woods and Nick says that he did not take her with him, but that was no way for a child to live. Andy says that she had lived in hiding her entire life and she now knows what he did. She tells Nick that she knows he hurt people but he says that he never wanted anyone to die. He tells her that she is part of a wealthy and corrupt family, saying that she would have to choose sides. Andy asks what he wants from her and Nick says that they have unfinished business.

Jane parks at the house and takes the suitcase out of the car. She places it on the ground and Nick approaches her, kissing her forehead and hugging her. She asks what he had done to her daughter and Nick asks her to behave, taking her hand and walking inside. Jane asks Andy if she is fine, but the latter asks why she had abandoned her. Andy tells Jane about the accident, but Nick simply tells them to sit down. He tells Andy about her mother's past. Andy asks if they were going to take the money and run off together, which shocks Jane. Nick tells Jane that he sometimes remembers being with her, asking if Andy did not remind her of him, but Jane says that she does remind her of him. Andy sees that Nick has a gun as he asks Jane when she knew she was pregnant, and Jane says that she had not told him, remembering when she found out.

Nick knows that Andy disapproves of him because she thinks he ran a cult, but he believes that family is a cult. He slams the suitcase on the table and looks through it, ignoring the money. He asks Jane where it is and starts losing his temper until he finds a tape. Andy asks what the tape is as Nick plays it for them. In it, Nick tells Jasper that he would take over the company, but needed to get Alex Maplecroft invited to Oslo. Jasper says that he does not want things to happen that way, but Nick assures him that everything would be alright. Jane says that she did not know that Jasper was involved until much later, so Andy asks Nick if he wanted to blackmail his way to a pardon but he is still not very sure. Jane says that now he has what he wanted, but he says that he wanted to see her because there were things he wanted to know, saying that he had not given Grace the gun, but she says that she is aware that he knows what happened to Charlie.

Andy makes a rapid movement, starting a fire and trying to overpower Nick, but he shoots her and tells Jane to not move. As he tries grabbing the tape, Jane tries to sneak up on him, but is pushed back by him. The fire starts choking them and Andy calls for Jane, who is still looking for the tape. She manages to grab it and they exit the house. Jane looks at Andy's arm and sees it is fine, telling her to stay where she is.

Jane runs through the woods, chasing after Nick and shooting him as he tries to run away. Nick finally stops and tells her to shoot him since he knew she had wanted to do it for a long time. Andy reaches Jane and tells her that she does not need to shoot him since it was over. Suddenly, US Marshals reach the area and tell her to drop the weapon.
