Nobody likes prequels, he says.
Borrow or Rob starts out with a flashback to 2001.
The cops the real ones, not the campus ones show up, and the students take off.

Lets just study next time, one of them says, the risk hardly worth the reward here.
He attempts to sweet-talk his way out of the situation, only to be tased by the police.
So it often goes for Rich.
The only time the equation has balanced out is today, while lithium stock is at an all-time high.
The team isnt sure what this means, but Pattersons already dug into the details of the tattoo.
Its a symbol for a secret society at Jameson College called Daedalus.
One name stands out: Gord Enver, also known as Rich Dotcom.
Whether hes being authentic or not, Richs presence always makes for a good episode ofBlindspot.
Unfortunately, Rich also brings some really, really bad news.
The equation that suddenly balances out?
Well, its a risk-versus-reward algorithm that the secret society used to justify its mostly harmless pranks.
And that time is today.
NEXT: Date night
With Richs help, the team comes up with a suspect: Zach Riley.
Therefore, hed financially benefit from a war in which the U.S. invades a country rich in lithium.
Theres a good chance they can track down Riley and figure out the details of the impending attack.
As they travel from one location to the next, we learn very little that we didnt already know.
Roman is the biggest problem.
Thats understandable, but it unfortunately doesnt make for compelling episodic TV.
Of course, the team pulls it off, but not before Riley confronts Weller and Rich.
Riley reveals something more interesting, though: Hes sold Riley Motors.
That means he cant benefit from a war with a lithium-rich country.
So the team searches for the next suspect: Benjamin Orin, a military contractor.
Patterson and Boston spot him and follow him into the fine arts building, only to get jumped.
Just as Rich is about to finish the work, Weller shows up to save the day again.
Thad pulls Rich in front of him as a human shield, but that doesnt deter Weller.
You shot the hostage!
Your obsession with the movieSpeedis becoming unhealthy, is the only response Rich can muster.
At least his sense of humor is still intact.
It really seems like hes changing.
Really, its a moment that ensuresBlindspotcan keep using Rich Dotcom, and thats never a bad thing.
Speaking of bad things, something terrible is certainly coming.
He slides in alongside Borden, nervous that the FBI is closing in on them.
Borden assures him that everything is still a go and that Phase Two cant happen without Riley.
So, hes not so innocent after all, and Sandstorms influence seems to be nearly unstoppable.
Well, I cant think of any.
