History Series / Intelligence2014

The series center on Gabriel Vaughn, an ex-Delta Force commando who saw action in several actions before he was selected to undergo a black ops experiment due to a rare gene that he has. This allowed Cyber Command scientists to install a neurochip into his brain, which allows him to gain access to the global information grid. Due to this, [=CC=] decides to assign an active Secret Service agent named Riley Neil in order to protect him (and the technology he has in his brain) from falling into the wrong hands.

* CyberPunk[=/=]PostCyberPunk: A mixture of these, but more on the latter since Cyber Command was able to create neurochips that make a person into a living computer. Although this would "interest" criminals, terrorist and intelligence agencies that wants to get their hands on it.

* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: Amos betrays Dr. Cassidy to the Chinese.]] He even tries to turn Riley as a bonus.

* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction: U.S. Cyber Command does actualy exist in Fort Meade instead of Angel's Bluff, Virginia. The emblem is almost the same as real CYBERCOM but the real agency seems to be more military and armed forces related than espionage and spycraft. The Clockwork department/function of CYBERCOM is also completely fictional.
* MysteriousPast: Agent Riley Neal has a sealed juvenile file. [[spoiler: It turns out she wasn't actually convicted of anything - only investigated and charged when she killed her abusive stepfather in self-defense after five years of abuse. The file was sealed by request - not because she was convicted but to keep it off her record so it wouldn't affect her future.]] Ironically, because Gabriel's been forbbiden to open said file, Gabriel takes every slightly illegal action she takes as part of a FormerTeenRebel phase, including auto theft, when she manages to break into a van using a screwdriver.

* SmarterThanYouLook: Gabriel calls Riley out on her low S.A.T. scores (1030 on the old 1600 scale, I believe.) She says she doesn't test well. The fact is confirmed a little while later when she tells Gabriel to update his Mandarin correcting his faulty translation, begins to point out the reason that safe is important (Gabriel stops her before she can finish.) and unbeknownst to Gabriel, figures out that his boss actually believes the same thing Gabriel does about his missing wife, despite the fact that his boss had told Gabriel the opposite [[spoiler: the idea his wife probably really did turn against the U.S. and died in a terrorist plot]] was true. Also, unbeknownst to Gabriel, she points out the fact that she's working with a person not a machine or a thing, very subtly reminding Strand that there was a reason their agency wanted to give a person more digital intelligence instead of creating a more human computer A.I. That leads to Lillian [[spoiler: making a deal for information out about Amelia in exchange for Jin Cong's return to Chinese custody.]]

* ActorAllusion: Riley Neal gets comfortable in [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/OnceUponATime a well worn red hoodie]] halfway through the pilot. Bonus points - she still wearing the same hoodie after she leaves the house against orders.

* BadassNormal - Riley Neal (vs. Gabriel's use of technology.) Riley has been shown to illustrate the idea of the human factor correcting Gabriel's digital translation and coming to conclusions that Gabriel has missed, illustrating she's actually just as skilled as agent as he, just with a different subset (focusing on people and relationships in order to be more skilled at protecting them).

* TakeThat - a very subtle one to digital translation and online dictionaries like Google Translate and Babylon. Gabriel uses his digital interface to translate spoken Chinese. Riley asks where Gabriel learned Mandarin. He replies, "I didn't. I got an app for that." Riley then proceeds to correct his translation because she actually ''speaks'' Mandarin.

* ChekhovsGun: The Chinese M99 Sniper Rifle and sniper view's broadcasting function in the Pilot. First, it's used to threaten [[spoiler: Dr. Cassidy's "sons", his biological one and Gabriel, his "Pinocchio" son.]] Then it's used as a blunt object to smack him with, and then [[spoiler: Gabriel uses it and it's transmitting function to line up the doctor's shot at Jin Cong while he's holding Riley hostage]]
