Blindspot (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 22 - If Love a Rebel, Death Will Render - full transcript

The team races to identify an abandoned infant with the same tattoo as Jane.

I am through listening to you.

All your little missions.

The USB drive.

The GPS tracker, the pen!

None of it is what you said it was!

You used me to frame Mayfair for murder!

I know this is hard.

I know you trusted her, but Bethany Mayfair

was responsible for some
very, very bad things, Taylor.

Then she should pay for those things!

But she should not go to prison
for something she didn't do!



Yes! Yes, that's exactly what she deserves.

That's insane.

Nothing you say can convince me

that this is right.

Then maybe I can try.

I know you feel lost.

I know you feel lost.

Like ending it all is the only way

that you can make up for what you've done.

But you're wrong.

Sofia?

Your name is Sofia.

Bethany and I fell in love.

But you also fell prey to temptation.



In Mayfair's case...

...using illegal intel
and fake informants...

...to force convictions
that should never have stood.

"Daylight."

We worked outside the law.

And committed great wrongs.

And only by working
outside the law again...

...can we set them right.

You saved my life that night.

In more ways than one.

So help us make this right.

This is your chance to buy back your soul.

This is the plan?

Ousting Mayfair?

We're just getting started.

Let's call this phase one.

Bethany needed to be removed from power.

Made accountable for her actions.

I begged her to walk away, twice!

But she refused.

Taylor, look at me.

We don't do any of this lightly.

But this is how it has to be.

And why should I trust you?

You shouldn't.

You should trust yourself.

_

How we doing this morning?

I will be right back, okay?

- All right.
- Thank you.

Who died?

What?

The tie.

Oh.

I was filling in for someone.

It's okay, happens to all of us.

Yeah.

It does.

Oh, Sarah?

Uh, no, it... it's me.

I, uh, I woke up early,

so I thought I'd come say hi.

I hope that's okay.

It's fine.

Taylor.

Tell us a story, Taylor.

Something happy.

From when you were all kids.

Oh...

What about...

when we camped in the fort in the backyard?

Remember, I tried to tell a ghost story,

and I scared myself.

And I scared you, too.

Why don't you tell that?

Oh, damn it.

Yeah, Dad, I've gotta go.

I'm meeting a friend.

Do you mind staying
until the nurse gets back?

No, of course not.

Thank you.

All right.

Sarah will be here soon.

Okay.

I'll see you tonight.

All right.

Okay.

Thank you.

I hear she's getting out today.

Yeah.

You talked to her?

No, she didn't put me on her visitors list.

Can you think of anything
that would help her case?

Stop looking into Tom
Carter's disappearance.

What are you thinking?

The focus of the investigation
has shifted... to Mayfair.

I think I have some
things I have to tell you.

You might not like some of them.

Well, I guess I got a few
things to tell you, too.

Here.

Been collecting this for you.

I didn't want anyone
thinking no one was home.

Thanks.

Hey, Felix. Aw, ooh.

Look what Mom's wearing.

Oh, it's more comfortable than it looks.

And thanks for keeping
an eye on Felix for me.

It's my pleasure.

I wish you'd let me come visit you.

I didn't want any of
you to visit me in there.

House arrest is much more dignified.

I was thinking,

I'll come by every couple of days

brief you, keep you in the loop.

That way, when you come back to work,

you can hit the ground running.

The director paid me a visit yesterday.

Apparently, I'm bad for optics.

He suggests I stop talking about frame jobs

and faked deaths and take a plea.

So no one else believes that Sofia's alive?

Do you?

Yes. I do.

But we can't find anything concrete.

Now, I know we're not the
official investigators on this.

But I need you to fill
in some blanks for me.

Some blanks should stay blank.

You should come clean about Daylight.

I've gone over it and over it.

Without that piece of the puzzle,

there's nothing that I can do.

Hundreds of convictions overturned.

Guilty criminals walk.

I won't do that just to vindicate myself.

You didn't kill anyone.

I cheated the system, and I lost.

I don't want you touching Daylight.

Do you hear me?

So what else do I do? I need that piece...

We'll find another way. We always do.

Now, get out of here.

You're late for your
Human Resources meeting.

We're not giving up.

And neither are you.

I never should have talked to Weitz.

He had you over a barrel.

Why would you think
there'd be anything to find?

I would have done the same thing.

No, you wouldn't have.

I don't know what pisses me off more...

they think she's a killer or
that they think she's that stupid.

Yeah, if she did take out Carter,

why would she ask me to
look into his disappearance?

How does that make any sense?

What makes a hell of a lot more sense

is that guy who threatened you at gunpoint.

Like, maybe if you tell them that...

They threatened Sarah and Sawyer's lives.

Meanwhile, they can get to
me, they can get to them.

No, no way.

"They"?

You think it's a "they"?

Well, "they" just took out the head
of the New York branch of the FBI.

Until we find out who this is
or how far they've infiltrated...

we don't know who we can trust.

Okay, thanks, everyone.

Director Pellington.

Havin' fun yet?

Just wanted to see how my interim
Assistant Director is holding up.

Much rather... be out there.

Trying to prove Mayfair's innocence,

than stuck in here... shuffling papers.

Ah, you won't be on the hook for long.

I'm interviewing permanent
replacements for the position today.

"Replacements."

This is Bethany Mayfair's job.

She's innocent.

No... she's not, Kurt.

And the sooner you make peace with that,

the better for you and for
everyone under your command.

Is that what you came here to tell me?

To make peace with it?

No.

In light of Mayfair's arrest,

there've been some concerns
regarding one of her cases

and the time and resources it
seems to have been consuming.

You talking about Jane?

We're putting the entire
situation under review.

Review?

What does that mean?

It means any related investigations
are suspended until further notice.

I'm shutting down the Jane Doe project.

Can you do anything with it?

I've got a colleague in Denmark.

Could I send it to him?

_

Who the hell are you?

How's she doing?

You saw her this morning, right?

She's out on bail on triple homicide.

She's wearing an ankle monitor,

and she can't leave her home.

- God, I just... I feel s...
- Yeah, we all do.

Hey...

How's she doing?

She's not good.

What do you got, Patterson?

Should we wait for Jane?

No, start without her.

Okay... a janitor at a
government building downtown

discovered an unmarked
bag early this morning.

And guess what was inside.

A baby less than 24 hours old.

Identity unknown.

- And...
- There's a tattoo connection.

She has the same logo
barcode on her wrist as Jane.

Along with a structurally
identical alphanumeric sequence.

They tattooed a baby?

Patterson, take 'em down.

Take 'em off the screen... now.

What's going on?

Everything that's going on
with Mayfair right now...

I don't want extra eyes seeing that.

We need to shake things up for a while.

On me.

So... our mystery guy
disposes of Carter's car.

They tell Reade to stop digging.

I rescue Alexandra from the bar.

At least finish the bottle with me.

Dennis!

Sofia's alive.

Sofia's alive

and asks me for money.

I give it to her.

They kill Alexandra.

And threaten me just like
they threatened Reade.

So how did these two know each other?

The same cash I give to Sofia...

I rescue Alexandra in the bar...

Let her go and walk away.

I rescue her.

The hell I did.

That bald son of a bitch!

Yeah, hi.

Yeah, it just started going off.

Well, you can see I'm still at home, right?

Well, I just don't want any trouble.

Huh.

Yeah, there it goes.

Well, sorry to bother you.

Tomorrow.

Yeah, that's fine. I
should be home all day.

Okay, that was a joke.

Right. Thanks. Bye.

What's with all the secrecy?

You practically just smuggled
me through the backdoor.

Temporary precautions.

Why are we even working the case at all?

Shouldn't we focus on Mayfair?
We all know she's innocent.

I'm just as upset about
Mayfair as you all are.

But there's nothing that
we can do for her right now.

What do we know about this baby?

Can I just say what
we're all thinking anyway?

That this baby has a lot more in
common with Jane than the tattoo.

Unknown identity, unknown origin.

She even came out of a bag.

You don't think that we've
come from the same place?

Where is this child?

Protective Services.

Interestingly, in the
same building she was left.

We're running the baby's DNA now,

seeing if it matches
anything in our database.

And the bag man?

We got a positive ID on
any of the security footage?

Edward Donella, former
nurse at Grace Central.

His license was revoked over a year ago

for administering pain meds
without a doctor's consent.

There's no record of employment since.

Let's visit Grace Central and see
what his coworkers say about him.

Uh...

Or you could speak to him directly.

He just sent an email from an
Internet cafe from his sister-in-law,

a criminal defense lawyer asking to
meet him in Arlington Square in an hour.

Great... let's get to the hospital.

Let's move.

It's past the scheduled meeting time.

Maybe the message was a decoy.

Hold on a second. Zapata, coming your way.

On it.

It's her.

So where is Edward?

- I got something.
- Go ahead, Patterson.

So we just got the baby's DNA tests back.

She's a genetic match

to Bryce Warren.

Whoa.

Who's Bryce Warren?

Just some ex-party kid.

But his father's Peter Warren,

major presidential contender
in the last election.

And a billionaire
businessman.

What's his granddaughter doing in the bag?

Hey, guys, I think we got Edward.

Got him.

On my call.

Now.

Down! Get down!

FBI! Get on the ground.

- FBI.
- I'm sorry!

I-I tried to convince myself that we
were helping, but they had to be stopped!

You got a position on the shooters?

Rooftop, northeast!

Reade! Tasha! Your building!

Come to me. Come to me.

Come here!

Get down behind there.

Stay down.

Stay down!

Weller, the insignia...
it's the same as the tattoo.

The symbol on Edward's scrubs

was the same as the
symbol on the Warren baby.

Shooters didn't give us much to follow.

No shell casings, no witnesses.

What about his
sister-in-law, the lawyer?

Did she give us anything?

Only that Edward has been
estranged from his family

since he lost his job.

This is the first time anyone
has heard from him in over a year.

He said he tried to convince
himself that they were helping.

But he just couldn't do it anymore.

That "they" needed to be stopped.

Whatever Edward was into, he was
having a crisis of conscience.

So he steals a baby?

Not just any baby.

Peter Warren's granddaughter.

Yeah, but from where?

I can't find any public
records of this child's birth.

More importantly,

why haven't the Warrens
reported her missing?

Bryce Warren?

Yes?

The FBI.

Wanna know if I could have a
word with you and your wife.

About?

Did you have a child recently?

What?

What's going on?

A baby was stolen and left
outside a government building

this morning in downtown.

Genetic testing indicates
you're the father.

How could you?

I didn't do anything.

- Bryce...
- Tracy, I swear.

Mr. Warren, people make mistakes sometimes.

But right now... I need you to be honest.

I did not have an affair.

I have one child, our child,

and he's upstairs, where he always is.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell?

What the hell is going on?

Maybe you shouldn't leave your number

with the bartender when
you're running a con.

- What the hell are you talking about?
- Donna Hollaran?

Called herself "Alexandra" when
I rescued her from you at the bar.

At least finish the bottle with me.

Dennis!

How do you two know each other?

Uh, I work for her sometimes.

- Doing what?
- I-I don't know.

I drive around places.

I pretend to pick her up in bars.

Not asking any questions.

You know him?

I don't know him. Should I?

You know her?

Yeah. Yeah.

I, uh, drove down to meet her a few times.

- Where?
- I don't know.

Different places.

What did they talk about?

I waited in the car.

Look, all I know is she
seemed stressed as hell

and she kept smoking funny
cigarettes all the time.

What?

They're French.

Tough to find.

Really? Well, so's Donna.

I mean, have you seen her
lately? She owes me like 50 bucks.

Good luck collecting.

The child is a genetic match to you.

How do you explain that?

It's a mistake.

It has to be.

Look, I had my troubles when I was younger,

but I don't sleep around anymore.

I found God.

My path has been righteous.

Even if he was that kind
of person, which he isn't,

I honestly, I don't know
where he'd find the time.

With Matthew's condition,

looking after him takes
everything we've got.

What do you people think you're doing?

Why is a former presidential
candidate calling me to complain

that the FBI just invaded his son's
home to accuse him of infidelity?

We were following a lead.

Right, same one that got a man killed

in front of you in Arlington
Square this morning.

Yeah, I looked into your lead.

A baby with a tattoo on its wrist?

The same one your consultant has on hers?

Perhaps I wasn't clear.

When I said the Jane Doe
project was suspended,

I meant all Jane
Doe cases, and Jane Doe.

Explain how we've arrived at this point.

We were in the field
already, investigating.

Weller tried to call us off.

We were already engaged, so...

Look, stop. I didn't tell them.

I... it was my call.

This kind of thing might
have flown with Mayfair,

but it doesn't fly with me.

What about this dead nurse?

Or the circumstances around this child?

However we got into it,
we're not gonna drop it now.

The child has been placed
with Family Services.

Let them sort it out.

You can investigate the shooting,

but you leave Peter Warren
and his family alone.

And, just to remove any ambiguity,

I want Jane Doe off this team.

She's to surrender her weapon and leave
this building until further notice.

That is not necessary.

You can't do that.

I just did.

Dismissed.

This little girl was left
in a bag, totally helpless.

No one knows where she came
from or who left her there.

- Doesn't that remind you of someone?
- Of course it does.

Gonna do everything
that we can to help her.

We've had so many cases where
I physically needed to be there.

What if I need to be there for this?

We've got no choice right now, Jane.

So that's it? I'm out, just like that?

Of course not... you know how important

you are to me, to this team.

But you need to give
me some time to fix it.

This is temporary.

I hope so.

Hey, we've got something.

So I expedited the Tracy Warren DNA test.

Tracy Warren is the
infant's biological mother.

That woman clearly did not
just carry a child to term.

I can't find any medical records
indicating a pregnancy or birth

since their first child.

Secret surrogate? They're private people.

Privacy's one thing.

But they wouldn't report it
once the baby was missing?

If the Warrens knew about this
kid before we told them about it,

they're extremely good actors.

Their son, Matthew... what's his condition?

Acute myeloid leukemia,

a rare and aggressive cancer of the blood.

How long does he have?

The five-year survival rate for
someone with AML is only 26%.

There are treatments to
slow the cancer down...

- Like chemo?
- Yeah, but that's not enough.

He needs a bone marrow transplant.

From a genetic match.

_

Ma'am, I need to see your pass!

Ma'am! You can't just go in there!

_

What?

You spend more on the cab to get here
than you do on those damn cigarettes.

This is the only store that sells them.

What do you want me to do?

Hey, you still carry L'errantes?

Sorry, not enough interest.

But I can order them for you, if you...

leave a number.

Just did that for a lady
about a couple weeks ago.

This lady?

You see her recently?

No.

But she did leave a number.

Thanks.

So three unknown assailants

cut the security feed at the building,

then come after the Warren
mystery baby at Child Services.

Eyewitnesses claim one unknown woman

with black hair and
tattoos tries to stop them.

Tattooed woman takes
one out in the elevator,

another in the hallway.

And that was where the
third kills a social worker,

a security guard, and
gets away with the child.

And now, this tattooed woman is missing.

Mrs. Warren. What are you doing here?

I called her.

What can I do to help?

Hello?

Reade, it's me.

Hey, I been trying to call
you, see how you're holding up,

but your phone's...

What number is this?

I was hoping you could do me a favor.

Please tell me you're still at home and
you did not just break your house arrest.

I'm still at home, and I didn't
just break my house arrest.

Are you crazy? They find
out you're not at home,

you know what they're gonna do to you?

They're not going to.

All right, what's this about?

- Do you trust me?
- Yes... always.

I was wondering if you
could trace a number for me.

Find a location.

I completely understand
if you don't wanna...

What's the number?

All right.

I'll look into it. I just hope...

I know, hope I'm doing the right thing.

Me, too.

Hey, thanks.

For what?

For trusting me.

Always.

Call me back on this number, okay?

If she's broken her bail...

I'm just helping her trace a number.

Did she give you a number
you can call her back on?

We can trace it and bring
her back in before she...

- I thought we wanted to help her.
- We do...

but is she helping herself
or just digging a deeper hole?

You look me in the eye and you
tell me you're not worried, too.

She needs our help.

Our son is dying.

He'd need several bone marrow transplants

over his lifetime to survive.

Best chance at a match
was a sibling, but we...

we couldn't face bringing
another child into the world

who could have the same affliction.

Bryce lost a brother to
it. So did his father.

So... we've... been exploring

an alternative option.

How alternative?

Last year, Bryce's father...

told us about a medical research program

that he's helping to fund.

They're on the verge of being able to print

genetically coded organic material.

Organs, tissue.

Bone marrow.

You and your husband...

gave genetic samples?

Yes.

They sedated us,

and they took all kinds of samples.

Last month, the company had a breakthrough.

But Peter said it would take years

to get it approved, and Matthew...

He doesn't have years.

So... Bryce's father,

he convinced us to let them
do the first transplant,

in secret, off the books.

When?

Tomorrow.

Where?

Do you know what it's like...

to have no hope and then get it back again?

They're not growing tissue.

They're growing children.

With surrogates.

Sur...

Mrs. Warren, you came here

to help this baby.

Your baby.

We need that address.

All right, we're at the facility.

How do I get inside?

All right.

Jesus!

This is not a game you wanna play with me.

Key fob... left pocket.

Thank you.

- Reade.
- No, it's Tasha.

Don't hang up.

I have the information you wanted.

Number's a cell, recently activated.

Towers triangulate a location where
a majority of the calls originated,

and the area was sparse enough that
we were able to isolate an address.

Zapata, why are you...

I understand why you called Reade,

but I want you to know
that you can trust me, too.

Please don't give up on me.

I haven't.

Do you have a pen?

Okay... thanks.

Hey.

Be careful. All right?

Before Reade met you,

he would never have
done something like this.

You're a good influence on him.

He doesn't know... she hit him so hard

he doesn't know who he is.

So find her and deal with her.

What if she's not working alone?

I hired you to protect the
facility, the surrogates,

and the research... protect it.

We're on the precipice of the largest
medical breakthrough of the 21st century.

We need to move these children!

Uhh!

Uhh!

Agh!

Clear!

Uhh! Uhh!

That way! You two get him.

I'm gonna check the nursery.

Jane!

Jane! Jane!

Jane... Jane...

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, Jane!

Hey... hey.

You're okay.

Peter Warren's in custody,
and the baby's been recovered.

Yes, you're okay.

What'll happen to them?

Child Protective Services.

Until they can be matched
to the company's client list.

And then...

There's gonna be a lot of
very surprised new parents.

You okay, Jane?

Yeah.

So what now?

You disobeyed my direct order to
suspend Jane Doe from the field

and cease any related
investigations... twice!

Every day that my team works
on those cases with Jane

we save a lot of lives.

Jane needs to be here.

Those trails need to be followed.

My whole career, my whole life,

I've trusted my gut...

my sense of what is
right and what is wrong.

And I am not about to stop now.

Which is why I'm making you the
new permanent Director of the NYO.

Excuse me?

We can't afford another Bethany Mayfair.

This office needs to be beyond reproach.

None of the candidates I interviewed today

came close to matching your leadership,

ability, integrity.

Thank you.

- But I am not going to accept...
- I'm not asking, Kurt.

You wanna stay FBI,

those are my terms.

And, either way, the Jane
Doe project is finished.

After today, the files will be archived,

and she's no longer
welcome in the building.

You can't be serious!

I'm afraid I am.

Congratulations on your promotion.

How'd it go?

I, um...

I just turned in my access badge.

Signed about 1,000 documents
promising I wouldn't...

share anything I've seen or heard here.

I'm sorry if...

if any of this is my fault.

I know how much this case meant to you.

Jane... you were never just a case to me.

What am I supposed to do now?

I mean...

ever since I came out of that bag,

I've woken up with a purpose.

I come here.

We save the world.

And then I go home.

But what do I do when I wake up tomorrow?

Whatever you want.

Speaking of which...

Now that we're...

not working together...

that sort of means I can do this.

- _
- Oh, there you go.

Looks like Patterson can't find
her way through a bottle of bourbon.

Wanna help her? With me?

Sure.

Okay.

Hey, are you coming?

- _
- Yeah, I'll be there in a second.

Just gonna take this.

Yeah, it's Kurt.

Kurt! Where's Kurt?

He's in a lot of pain.

He refuses to take anything
until he talks to you.

I think this is it.

You should call your sister.

Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Even when I see the commercials...

Oscar, it's over!

Jane! What are y...

What's over?

How did you...

You did this to me. You set me up!

No... no, if I...

- I had no idea they were...
- That they were what?

I didn't know. I didn't know.

We took you in.

We trusted you.

I know... I know, and I'm sorry.

And this is how you repay me?

Please.

You lied to me. You lied to all of us!

Please, please don't do this.

What did you do?

- I'm sorry, this...
- What did you just do?!

This isn't how we wanted it to happen.

Come on, we gotta get you out of here.

- I won't leave her.
- Taylor!

Get out! Now!

Now!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I won't let you hurt my team.

Uhh!

Lie still... please.

What did you do to us?

Please... please, I didn't know.

I didn't know.

No, please, you can't die, please.

I just wish I could be there

to see his face

when he finds out what you really are.

Sarah?

Where is she?

Where is she?! Where is she?!

Dad!

He's been calling for both of you.

- Thank you.
- Kurt?

- Hey. Hey, hey.
- Where is she?

It's me.

What'd I do?

Where'd Sarah go?

- Sarah's fine.
- Where'd Sarah go?

Shh, Dad, she's coming.

She'll be here.

Thank God, thank God.

- Relax, Dad.
- It was... it wasn't her.

It wasn't her.

Shh, relax, Dad.

She still there?

Under the fort?

Is she...

What are you talking about, Dad?

I... I tried my...

Tried my best, I did... best I could do.

I'm sorry.

I'm...

She's under the fort, Kurt.

Who's under the fort, Dad?

It was an accident. I didn't mean to...

I didn't... She was so small.

- What?
- So...

Who's under the fort, Dad?

Taylor.

Her body.

She loved... loved it there.

What are you talking about, Dad?

I killed her, son.

No.

I... I killed Taylor Shaw.

No!

- No... Dad...
- Tell Sarah...

that I did my best.

Under the fort.
