Sanctuary
An unknown man tells the story of a window-washer in Los Angeles on the day of the Global Blackout. The window-washer tossed one end of his safety line to his co-worker and stepped onto his platform at the top of a tall building. As the Blackout started, the co-worker lost consciousness before anchoring the safety line and the window-washer collapsed against the handle of the motor on his platform. The motor turned on but shorted out, allowing the window-washer to slide off the platform to certain death. Fate intervened and the loose end of the safety line snagged on a fitting on the platform, leaving the window-washer hanging outside an office window when he regained consciousness. As the story continues the narrator of the story is revealed to be addressing a group of people and explaining that he was the window-washer and that in his Flash he saw himself leading a large group of faithful and that what he saw led him to found Sanctuary.
Searching for the Ambulance and Lloyd
Demetri Noh enters a conference room at the Los Angeles Field Office and sees Marshall Vogel seated at the head of the table. Wedeck tells him that the Mosaic Investigation is now a multi-agency effort and to adapt. Also present in the room are Simon Campos, Mrs. Levy of the National Security Agency, Marcie Turoff and Janis Hawk. The team listens to a hoax 911 call used to lure the original ambulance team to their doom. Janis reports that the Los Angeles Police Department has been unable to find the ambulance. Vogel takes exception to "outsourcing" the search. Simon offers to break the encryption on Lloyd's laptop to identify his contacts. Vogel assigns Janis to escort Simon to Lloyd's house. Standing, he announces that he wants to debrief the police officers involved in the search for the ambulance and leaves the room in a dismissive manner. At Lloyd's house, Janis posts her security team outside and waits with Simon. He requests a beer. Janis agrees and, after finding a beer in the refrigerator, is assaulted by some masked men. Vogel and Demetri search the train yard where the ambulance disappeared. Vogel criticizes Demetri's conduct, telling him that his actions in Hong Kong ("A561984") interfered with things he does not understand. When Vogel refers to Zoey in a slightly insulting manner, Demetri attacks. Vogel defends himself by throwing Demetri on the ground, then telling him he needs a better partner than Mark Benford. While on the ground, Demetri notices a large concentration of flies, which lead him and Vogel to a boxcar with two dead bodies. A medical team recovers the bodies of the ambulance attendants. Martin Dewey tells Vogel and Demetri that they were killed by some sort of poison. He gives the agents an empty case for a Palm Pre. They discuss the possibility that the phone might still be in the ambulance and be traceable. Vogel and Demetri return to the Los Angeles Field Office and ask an agent with technical skills the attempt a trace on the missing phone. Charlie sees her dad's version of the Mosaic wall he has at home and thinks of it as a puzzle. She encourages Mark to solve his "puzzle" by starting at the corners, as in a jigsaw puzzle. Mark rearranges his Mosaic photos. Mark visits Red Panda and his contact explains that they provide humanitarian aid all around the world, including Somalia. Red Panda was chartered in 1998 and grew out of Demographic and Health Services (DHS), so it had no representatives in Somalia in 1991. Mark suggests he accompany Red Panda staff members on a trip to Somalia, but his contact declines, adding that most of her employees have police records. Mark responds that such things are not a problem to the FBI anymore, but the contact bids him a polite farewell.
Interrogation
Lloyd is being held in a grungy basement. A well-dressed man informs him that he cannot be heard, provides him with hydration, disconnects his handcuff from a pipe, and tells him he will be free if he answers the man's questions. When Lloyd asks the man his name, the stranger replies that Lloyd does not need to know that. Lloyd tells the man to go to hell; the man responds that Lloyd does not know what hell is but that he is about to find out. Simon is thrown and kicked down the stairs by Quarry into the basement where Lloyd is being held. Simon and Lloyd discuss the kidnappers' motives and Lloyd's announcement. Flosso, Quarry and Wheeler walk in. Flosso blows a glowing cinder from his cigar into Simon's eye, and describes himself as a villain. He goes on to describe the amazing amount he is being paid to interrogate the scientists as a basket the size of Montana filled with money. He asks Lloyd how many electron volts were generated during their experiment. He reveals that the National Linear Accelerator Project experiment did not cause the blackout, it did just amplify it. Lloyd refuses to answer Flosso's questions and he and his thugs leave for awhile. Simon explains his flash to Lloyd exactly as he described it to Camille on the train. Lloyd explains that he received a text message from Simon during his flash and Simon responds that, since he obviously couldn't have sent a text while he was killing a man, it must have been something he sent earlier. Lloyd explains that the flashes are possible futures. He climbs a chair to reach a high window, and attempts to put a "help" note written on a Crown Cheese Steak flyer on the window, but it blows away. He screams for help but the area is nearly deserted. Flosso and his two cronies return to the basement with Lloyd's help note. Flosso wants to know if the National Linear Accelerator Project experiment detected anything superluminal.
General
•The verse that Nicole's mother reads from the Bible is Genesis 2:17. The global blackout lasted for 2 minutes and 17 seconds.
Production Notes
•Originally, this episode was supposed to air in the United States on March 4. However, ABC chose to push back the date to keep the episode from having to compete with American Idol. •Shohreh Aghdashloo appears as Nhadra Udaya in security camera footage. •The conversation between Charlie and Mark in which she urges him to work on the Mosaic wall from the corners was deleted from the on-line version. •"DHS" is explained to be an acronym for "Demographic and Health Services." In "137 Sekunden", Janis' computer search that revealed activities in Somalia contained a reference to "DHS" that was unexplained.
Music
•"Stay With Me" by Taizee. (During several Sanctuary bits).

•Why doesn't Flosso ask Simon directly about information regarding Simon and Lloyd's particle acceleration experiment instead of making Simon pretend that he doesn't know him? Are there parts of the experiment that only Lloyd has knowledge of?
