The episode begins with Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots in her office. Miss Parker says that her e-mail server isn't working. Then, a Centre employee arrives to collect documents to burn. Leonard tells Miss Parker that he knew Catherine Parker and that she was an amazing person. Miss Parker asks him if he can talk to her later. Beside the incinerator in SL-26, Leonard picks up a file that is labeled "Mirage" and says that he has to show it to Miss Parker.

In a warehouse, Jarod arrives with other four people. They stole a metal container that has a gas that affects the nervous system ("Soman"). The container opened itself. Jarod says, in panic, that they are all going to die in less than 6 hours.

In the Centre hallway, Broots warns Miss Parker that Leonard was killed. They go to SL-26 and find his body. Raines tells them that Leonard wasn't on himself and that he is not going to tolerate that kind of behavior. Miss Parker orders Broots to find the tape that shows what happened.

Jarod tells the others that they are going to feel nauseas, tremors, that their organs will liquefy and that their noses will start to bleed. We see flashbacks of the first meeting between Jarod (Abraham), Eve, Job, Abel and Cain in a coffee shop. They're all getting a little annoyed in the warehouse. Meanwhile, Cain and Abel say that they are going to the hospital, but Jarod stops them saying that the police is looking for them. On the television, a reporter is talking about the robbery and says that the police is searching for the robbers. Abel convinces himself that Elijah must be arriving to give them what he owes them. In a flashback, Jarod says that they have to call him Abraham. The others say that the secret to their success is not knowing anything about each others. Jarod is going to be in charge of the new operation and the job will give each one of them $100000. Back into the warehouse, the group starts to feel the first symptoms of the gas. On the newspaper's front page is the news of the death of a child named Brittany Tate. One of the members of the group killed her, but they don't know who. Elijah contacts them via computer and tells them that he left some lab material that should help them. He also informs them that some men are going to appear there to get the container. Jarod checks the lab material that Elijah left there for them and tells the others that he has everything he need to make an antidote. He tells them that he worked as a doctor in the army and that he'll need a blood sample from each one of them. However, Eve doesn't like the idea and says that she'd rather go to the hospital, but when she's leaving, four policemen search the place and they have to hide.

Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots watch what really happened in SL-26: Leonard aims a gun to the other sweeper and then, while he dials a number on the telephone, two other sweepers kill them. Broots says that he is able to know who he was calling to.

Back in the warehouse, while Able is playing and Job is drinking water, the news are back to the television. The reporter says that the security guard from the building was found in a near death situation. They start to question each other about who left the security that way and they end up questioning Jarod's innocence. There is a flashback, in which we learn the group's plan. Back to actual time, unsetting moments are lived between Cain and Abel. Eve approaches Jarod and tells him that she didn't let him take a blood sample because she's pregnant. She fears for her baby's life, but Jarod assures her that the baby is safer than any of them. She lets him take the blood sample from her.

Broots discovers that Leonard dials Miss Parker's extension (2725) and when they go to her office, they find a message from Leonard. He says that he found something about an intercepted e-mail in her computer. Miss Parker tells Broots to find copies of that e-mail.

Abel recalls his first robbery: a bicycle. Job finds the same box in which Brittany Tate was found. Then, we see flashbacks of when they stole "Magna Technology". But something happens to they communicators and, when they're together again, the security guard isn't there and the alarm went off. Now, Abel opens the box and sees Brittany Tate's thing inside it, but when Job opens the box to see those things, he sees nothing. Then, two men posing as cops arrive. They bring the money that Elijah owes them. However, they're only bringing a package with $10000, instead of the $100000 each. Elijah contacts them and they demand an explanation. Jarod shoots one of the cops and orders the other one to get the rest of the money, while Elijah is forced to agree.

Broots discovers the e-mail to Miss Parker. Edna was the one who sent it and the attached file - a video - can only be accessed from Raines' office. He has been watching Miss Parker's e-mails.

The cop that was shot on the leg says that Elijah is upset because they killed the little girl. Job says that someone decided to steal the place and then killed the child, so that no one would know who did it. Abel is hallucinating again, this time with the bicycle he stole and the kid whom he stole it. Eve smells perfume and when she asks Jarod, that was playing the piano, if he can smell it too, he says that it was his mother's perfume. On the TV, the journalist says that the security guard died and the group also confirms the cop's death. Jarod finishes 4 of the 5 syringes they need. Abel opens the box again and finds the photo of a girl. He picks up the photo and shows it to Job. Eve also sees it and says that it isn't Brittany Tate. Jarod grabs the 5 syringes, but one of them falls to the floor and only 4 are left. Jarod says that the person who killed the little girl shouldn't get the antidote. In the end, the only person that doesn't get it is Eve. She tries to play her little game with game with Jarod, but he says, in a very sane way, that she killed Brittany Tate. He continues, saying that she said she was pregnant to make him believe that she wouldn't kill a child and then says that only the killer knew how Brittany Tate was like. Jarod makes Eve confess that she killed Brittany Tate, promising her that he'll give her half his dose. But he ends up not giving it, because he lets it fall to the ground. Meanwhile, they all turn against each others, but the shots they fire are blanks. The only two persons whose bullets are real are Jarod's and the cop's, that isn't dead. No one was really exposed to the gas, Elijah was already arrested and it was all a plan to find Brittany Tate's murderer.

In Raines' office, Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots are looking for Edna's video. In it, Edna tells Miss Parker that she has to discover what her mother was doing and that she was to answer that e-mail ASAP, because it could be a matter of life or death.

In the end, the group is arrested and Jarod says goodbye to the policeman, while he listens to the music "Claire de Lune" that is playing in the music box.
