Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 19 - Ex Parte - full transcript

BASE, THIS IS
DISTRICT CREW ECHO.

SECURITY INSPECTION IS
COMPLETE AT THE POLK COMPLEX.

ALL GOOD. WE ARE ON
OUR WAY OVER TO...

CORDON PLAZA. OVER.

UHH!

DO EXACTLY AS I SAY.

NATE, GET THE HELL OUT!

YOU DO NOT WANT
TO BE A HERO!
TERRELL!

NO.

BADGES, KEYS,
CLOTHES... NOW!

YOU WANT US TO STRIP?



DID I STUTTER?

I’LL TAKE CARE OF THEM.

HEY, KRISTY?

UH-HUH.

UH, DO YOU KNOW
WHERE I PUT MY...

LEFT YOUR PHONE?

WHAT WOULD I DO
WITHOUT YOU?

YOU KNOW,
THE AUGHTS JUST CALLED.

THEY WANT THEIR PHONE BACK.

THAT’S VERY FUNNY.

SERIOUSLY,
DOES THE BUREAU EVEN KNOW

YOU’RE STILL USING
THE THING?

NOW, AS CHARMING
AS YOU ARE,

WE CAN’T KEEP HAVING
THIS LITTLE CONVERSATION.



PLEASE, IF NOT FOR YOURSELF,

THEN DO IT
FOR THE CHILDREN.

FOR THE CHILDREN?

YES. IF THEIR PARENTS
WERE SHARING

THE SAME PHONE TECHNOLOGY,

THEN THEY COULD SYNCHRONIZE
THEIR CALENDARS.

WELL, THAT’S A VERY
PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT,
COUNSELOR,

BUT IF YOU DON’T
KNOW ME BY NOW...

I KNOW. YOU’RE
A CREATURE OF HABIT,

BUT HABITS WERE MEANT
TO BE BROKEN.

YOU ALREADY BOUGHT IT,
DIDN’T YOU?

MM-HMM.

IT’S NOT THAT I DON’T
DEEPLY APPRECIATE
YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS,

IT’S JUST THAT I GOTTA GO.

BABE, JUST TAKE
IT WITH YOU.

YOU’RE GONNA LOVE IT.

NOW GIVE US A KISS AND...

MMM.

I KNOW YOU THINK
THIS IS ABOUT

MY FEAR OF CHANGE,
BUT IT’S ACTUALLY

ABOUT MY COMMITMENT
TO THE THINGS
THAT I TRUST.

UH-HUH. OK.

YOU’RE THE PROFILER,
SWEETHEART,

BUT I THINK IT’S ABOUT
A BETTER PHONE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LOOKS GOOD.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

SHOWTIME.

SECURITY
BADGES, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT.

AND YOU, SIR.

I’M SO SORRY, MR. COLE,

BUT WE DON’T SEEM
TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT

SCHEDULED FOR YOU
THIS MORNING.

THAT CAN’T BE.

I CALLED LAST WEEK.

DO YOU RECALL
TO WHOM YOU SPOKE?

IT WAS A WOMAN,

A YOUNGER WOMAN.

EVERYONE AROUND HERE
IS YOUNGER THAN I AM,

SO... NO MATTER.

WHY DON’T WE MAKE
AN APPOINTMENT

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
WOULD THAT WORK?

CAN I SEE SOMEONE TODAY?

I NEED TO SPEAK TO ONE
OF YOUR LAWYERS TODAY.

OF COURSE.
MAY I HELP YOU?

VEXTEL, MA’AM.
MAINTENANCE CHECK.

MM-HMM.

WELL, LET’S SEE

WHAT WE CAN DO
FOR YOU.

BOOYAH.

EVERYBODY, GET ON THE GROUND!

RIGHT NOW!

GET UP.

WHAT?

GET UP!

OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY GOD!

YES, SIR?

HAS HRT DEPLOYED?

I’LL BRIEF MY TEAM
IMMEDIATELY.

DAVE, MATT, WE’RE GONNA NEED
ALL HANDS ON DECK.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH THE DIRECTOR.

HE WANTS THE BAU
TO TAKE CHARGE

OF A HOSTAGE SITUATION
IN PROGRESS DOWNTOWN.

WHERE DOWNTOWN?

CORDON PLAZA, FOURTH FLOOR.

THE OFFICES OF THE AMERICAN
LEGAL DEFENSE COUNCIL.

ALDC?

THAT’S RIGHT.

HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAM
IS ON ITS WAY, SO...

KRISTY.

WHAT ABOUT KRISTY?

SHE JUST STARTED
WORKING FOR THE ALDC

A FEW WEEKS AGO.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

LISTEN UP!

I REALIZE YOU’RE
CONFUSED, YOU’RE SCARED.

YOU’RE WONDERING "WHAT
THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"

RIGHT?

WELL, A LOT IS GOING ON HERE.

BECAUSE TODAY
IS A SPECIAL DAY.

TODAY IS THE DAY
THAT ALL OF YOU

GET TO BECOME
A PART OF HISTORY!

"VIOLENCE IS NOT A CATALYST

BUT A DIVERSION."

JOSEPH CONRAD.

I NEED TO GET
DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW.

I CAN HANDLE HRT’s RESPONSE.

MATT, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T
GO DOWN THERE.

SCREW THE DAMN PROTOCOL, DAVE.

WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT MY WIFE HERE.

I KNOW.
AND I CAN’T IMAGINE

WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH
RIGHT NOW.

KRISTY AND I ACTUALLY
HAD A PLAN FOR THE KIDS

IN CASE SOMETHING
LIKE THIS HAPPENED,

ONLY WE THOUGHT THE ROLES
WOULD BE REVERSED.

JUST... PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME
BE A BYSTANDER TO ALL THIS.

OK, YOU CAN STAY HERE
WITH US,

HELP BUILD THE PROFILE.

THANK YOU.

ALVEZ WILL
TAKE POINT WITH HRT

AND RUN THE TACTICAL OP
ON THE SCENE.

JJ AND TARA WILL COORDINATE
HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS.

BEFORE THE REST
OF OUR SHOW BEGINS,

I’M GONNA NEED YOU
TO HAND OVER

ALL PERSONAL
COMMUNICATION DEVICES...

THIS INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO YOUR CELL PHONES,

WATCHES, AND LAPTOPS.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT
FROM US?

YOUR PHONES.

I DON’T HAVE MY PHONE HERE.

HUH. WHERE IS IT?

I LEFT IT AT HOME.
I SWEAR.

YOU LEFT IT AT HOME?

I GOT INTO A FIGHT
WITH MY GIRLFRIEND

AND I JUST HAD TO LEAVE
THE APARTMENT.

BUT THEN WHEN I GOT HERE,
I REALIZED I DIDN’T HAVE IT.

WHAT’S YOUR NAME?

STEVEN. STEVEN ONISHI.

OH. AND, UH...

WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU, UH...

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU
DO HERE, STEVEN?

I’M A PARALEGAL.

THAT’S GOOD FOR YOU.

♪ YO,
MOVES LIKE A BOSS ♪

♪ YO, MAN ♪

♪ I SAY MOVES LIKE A BOSS,
YO, MAN ♪

THAT’S A GOOD ONE.

♪ MOVES LIKE A BOSS,
YO, MAN ♪

♪ I SAY MOVES
LIKE A BOSS, YO, MAN ♪

♪ I SAY MOVES LIKE A BOSS... ♪

LOOK, THAT WAS STUPID...

YOU MUST THINK I’M STUPID!

HUH? IS THAT IT?

YOU THINK I’M AN IDIOT?

PLEASE!

- HUH? IS THAT IT?
- STOP!

THINK I’M AN IDIOT?

STOP, PLEASE!

HEY, LET GO OF ME!
LET GO OF...

OH, MY GOD, STEVEN,
ARE YOU OK?

COMMANDER NASH?

I’M SSA JAREAU.
THIS IS SSA LEWIS AND ALVEZ.

I CAN TELL YOU
WHAT I KNOW SO FAR.

ABOUT A HALF-HOUR AGO,
WE RECEIVED MULTIPLE REPORTS

OF SHOTS FIRED
ON THE FOURTH FLOOR.

AND THE ELEVATORS
WENT DOWN,

BUILDING SECURITY RESPONDED,
THEY WENT UP THE STAIRS,

AND THAT’S WHEN
THEY FOUND THESE...

BRICKS OF C-4
WIRED TO ALL THE DOORS

INTO THE ALDC OFFICES.

BOMB TECHS ARE
WORKING ON THEM NOW.

DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ENOUGH
TO BRING THE BUILDING DOWN

ON OUR HEADS...

BUT IT’S ENOUGH TO KILL

EVERYBODY
UP IN THOSE OFFICES.

DO WE KNOW HOW MANY
PEOPLE THAT IS?

OUR BATCH COUNT CONFIRMS
26 ALDC LAWYERS AND STAFFERS.

HOW MANY HOSTAGE-TAKERS?

YOUR GUESS
IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

WE HAVE NO EYES
ON THE FOURTH FLOOR.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT
FIBER-OPTIC CAMERAS?

WE TRIED. BUT THEY
BLEW OUT THE LENS

WITH THE INFRARED LIGHTS,

AND NOW WE’RE BRINGING IN
THERMAL IMAGING.

WELL, WITH THAT MANY
PEOPLE TO MANAGE,

MY GUESS IS AT LEAST
2 UNSUBS, MAYBE 3.

SO FAR, WHOEVER’S UP THERE
HAS MADE ZERO EFFORT

TO ESTABLISH ANY LINE
OF COMMUNICATION WITH US.

OH, NO, THEY’RE
COMMUNICATING WITH US.

BY HACKING INTO
ALL OF THIS BUILDING’S

OPERATING SYSTEMS, THEY’RE
TRYING TO LET US KNOW

THAT THEY THINK
THEY’RE IN CHARGE.

WELL, LET’S SEE
WHAT GARCIA CAN DO.

WHAT’S UP WITH YOU?

YOU CAN’T SCREW AROUND
LIKE THAT.

DON’T YOU START
QUESTIONING ME.

I’M THE ONE
IN CHARGE HERE.

I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO
REMIND YOU OF THAT.

AND I SHOULDN’T
HAVE TO REMIND YOU

THAT COPS AND FBI
HAVE PROTOCOL THEY
HAVE TO FOLLOW.

THEY’RE WAITING
TO NEGOTIATE.

SO THEY’RE NOT GONNA
COME BLASTING IN HERE

UNLESS A HOSTAGE IS KILLED.

I KNOW THAT.

THAT’S NOT
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE

WHEN YOU WERE BASHING
THAT GUY’S HEAD IN.

THE ONLY WAY
WE PULL THIS OFF

IS BY STICKING
TO THE PLAN.

ONCE WE’RE READY FOR THEM,

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER
THE HELL YOU WANT

TO ANYBODY YOU WANT.

WHEN WILL WE BE READY
FOR THEM?

JASPER SAYS WE’RE
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.

TRY AS I MIGHT,
I HAVEN’T WRESTLED

THE BUILDING’S
OPERATING SYSTEM

FROM THESE RAT FINKS,

BUT THEY GOT ACCESS
TO THE SERVER

BY USING A KEYCHAIN
CREATED BY THE VEXTEL

INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS.

YEAH, WE JUST FOUND
ONE OF THEIR WORK VANS

HERE IN THE PARKING GARAGE.

VEXTEL IS THE COMPANY
RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE WHOLE SECURITY
SHEBANG AT CORDON PLAZA.

THEY HAD A MAINTENANCE CHECK
SCHEDULED TODAY

FOR THE ALDC.

DO WE KNOW THE NAMES
OF THE EMPLOYEES

ASSIGNED TO DO THE CHECK?

TERRELL CAMPBELL
AND NATHAN BUTLER.

I’LL FOLLOW UP
WITH THE COMPANY,

BUT THEIR WORK RECORDS
BOTH LOOK REALLY CLEAN.

SEE IF YOU CAN TRACK THE LAST
48 HOURS OF THEIR LIVES.

IF THEY’RE NOT
DIRECTLY INVOLVED,

THEY MAY HAVE BEEN TARGETED.

YOU GOT IT.

THESE GUYS ARE RUNNING
THEIR OWN PLAYBOOK.

THEY’VE MADE
NO PROVOCATIVE ACTION

SINCE SEIZING THE HOSTAGES,

AND WE’VE BEEN
TRYING TO OPEN

A LINE OF COMMUNICATION
WITH THEM,

BUT FOR THE LAST 20 MINUTES

THEY JUST PICK UP THE PHONE
AND THEN HANG IT UP.

AND THEY PROBABLY THINK
WE’RE GONNA BE

THROWN OFF
BY THE UNCERTAINTY.

IT’S A CRUDE
PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE,

WHICH MAKES ME THINK WE’RE
DEALING WITH YOUNG MEN.

HOW LONG DOES COMMANDER NASH
THINK IT’LL TAKE

TO DISARM THE IEDs?

NOT SURE.
THE C-4 CHARGES

ARE NOT ONLY HARD-WIRED
TO ALL THE DOORS,

BUT THERE MIGHT ALSO
BE A REMOTE DETONATOR.

HAVE YOU GUYS
BEEN ABLE TO GET

ANY THERMAL IMAGING
OF THE OFFICES YET?

COMMANDER NASH SAYS
IT’S ON ITS WAY.

SO YOU CAN’T SEE
WHAT’S GOING ON
UP THERE, CAN YOU?

NO, MATT, WE CAN’T.
NOT YET.

I KNOW YOU WANT
TO BE HERE, BUT...

I NEED TO BE HERE.

I’M OK.

I’VE ONLY SEEN
3 OF THEM.

YOU SAY THAT LIKE
YOU HAVE A PLAN.

YEAH, I DO.
THE POLICE AND FBI,

I’M SURE THEY’RE ALREADY
DOWNSTAIRS.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS
THEY HAVE NO WAY

OF ACTUALLY SEEING

WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE.

SO YOU AND I HAVE TO CREATE
A LITTLE DISTRACTION,

AND THEN I...

OK.

HERE’S WHEN THE FUN BEGINS.

GET UP.

OH!
UP!

LET’S GO TO YOUR OFFICE.

TO YOUR OFFICE.

JUST LET THE OTHERS GO.

I WILL STAY WITH YOU.

NO. NO, NO, NO.

NOBODY’S GOING ANYWHERE.

BUT I DO NEED YOUR HELP.

I NEED YOU TO CHOOSE
A REPRESENTATIVE

FROM YOUR GROUP
TO SPEAK ON MY BEHALF

TO HELP ME NEGOTIATE
WITH THE COPS.

YOU CAN’T SPEAK
FOR YOURSELF?

DESPITE THE PROPAGANDA
YOU PUT OUT,

POLICE ACTUALLY HAVE
AN ITCHY TRIGGER FINGER

FOR FOLKS LIKE ME.

NO.

I WON’T DO IT.

I WON’T LET MYSELF
BE INTIMIDATED

BY MEN LIKE YOU.

NOW, WHO’S THE ONE OF US

THAT’S REALLY
PREJUDICED HERE?

OHH!

THE ELEVATOR...
IT’S ON THE MOVE.

TARA, TALK TO ME.

IT’S COMING DOWN
FROM THE FOURTH FLOOR.

THIS IS SSA TARA LEWIS.

TO WHOM AM I SPEAKING?

I’D SAY YOU’RE SPEAKING
TO YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE,

SSA TARA LEWIS.

YOU CAN’T INTIMIDATE
A FEDERAL AGENT,

SO LET’S JUST STOP
WITH THE GAMES.

NO GAMES. I DO LIKE
YOUR STYLE, SSA TARA LEWIS.

SO HERE IS MY ONE
AND ONLY DEMAND.

RELEASE LEONARD HAGLAND
FROM PRISON,

OR I START EXECUTING
A HOSTAGE

EVERY 15 MINUTES,
STARTING...

NOW.

LEONARD RUDOLPH HAGLAND,

75 YEARS OLD,
FORMER LEADER

OF A SEPARATIST GROUP
CALLED THE HORSEMEN.

DIDN’T THE ALDC
IDENTIFY THE HORSEMEN

AS A HATE GROUP?

THEY DID, 5 YEARS AGO,

AND SINCE THEN,
THE ALDC LAWYERS,

LIKE KRISTY,
HAVE BEEN WAGING

A NONSTOP LEGAL BATTLE
AGAINST THE HORSEMEN.

ONE NIGHT, IN APRIL 2015,

HAGLAND SHOT AND KILLED
TWO VIRGINIA STATE TROOPERS

DURING A RAID OF HIS HOUSE.

HAGLAND NOW SITS
ON DEATH ROW IN VIRGINIA.

HE’S EXHAUSTED
ALL OF HIS APPEALS.

HE’S SCHEDULED TO DIE
BY LETHAL INJECTION
MONDAY MORNING.

SOUNDS LIKE HAGLAND’S
LAST DESPERATE EFFORT
TO STAY ALIVE.

USING SOME GOOD
SOLDIERS RECRUITED
FROM THE HORSEMEN.

I SAY WE BRING
LEONARD HAGLAND IN HERE.

IF HE IS INDEED
THE BRAINS BEHIND
THIS OPERATION,

I BET HE’LL BE
SUCH AN ARROGANT
SON OF A BITCH,

WE WON’T BE ABLE
TO STOP HIM

FROM BRAGGING ABOUT
HIS MASTER PLAN.

- IT’S WORTH A SHOT.
- I’LL MAKE THE CALL.

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE
TO DECIPHER THESE
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIALS.

THIS BUILDING’S
STATE-OF-THE-ART

INSULATION IS DOING
ONE HELL OF A JOB

INSULATING THESE
UNSUBS FROM US.

AND THE CLOCK
IS TICKING.

WE NEED TO GET EYES
IN THERE ASAP.

I HATE TO GO IN THERE
FLYING BLIND.

WE SHOULDN’T EVEN CONSIDER
THAT POSSIBILITY.

THE RISK OF A BLIND BREACH
IS FAR OUTWEIGHED

BY THE RISK
OF OUR FURTHER DELAY.

BY MY CALCULATIONS,

THEY STILL HAVE
THE C-4 ON THEIR SIDE.

SO, I’M SORRY.
I’M NOT READY

TO START ADDING UP
ACCEPTABLE LOSSES

WITHOUT FIRST
EXHAUSTING EVERY OTHER

SCENARIO OPEN TO US.

WHAT OTHER SCENARIO?

LIKE GETTING THE BASTARD ON
THE PHONE AND TALKING.

GUYS.

PHONE’S CLEAN. NO DNA,

NO PRINTS,
AND THE UNSUB’S NUMBER

SEEMS TO TRACE BACK
TO A DISPOSABLE BURNER.

BUT IT DOES SAY SOMETHING

THAT HE CHOSE TO LABEL
HIMSELF "BAD GUY #1."

KIND OF LIKE A DARK
CLASS CLOWN.

THIS GUY REALLY
CRAVES ATTENTION.

ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN,
HE WANTS TO TALK TO US.

HE NEEDS TO,
IF ONLY TO SHOW OFF.

BUT I’M SURE HIS PLAN
CALLS FOR RADIO SILENCE.

YEAH. THAT’S WHY I THINK
I SHOULD START TEXTING HIM.

HEY. D.C. METRO JUST FOUND
A SUSPICIOUS VAN

ABANDONED ALONG THE VEXTEL
SECURITY TEAM’S WORK ROUTE.

ALL RIGHT, I’LL GO
CHECK IT OUT.

IS THERE A PROBLEM?

HE SHOULDN’T HAVE SHOT HER.

SO WHAT?

SO YOU WANT THEM TO THINK
WE’RE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE?

HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING.

HE JUST BETTER HAVE
ALL OF OUR MONEY

WHEN THIS IS OVER.

HE WILL.

BUT YOU KNOW
THIS IS ABOUT MORE

THAN JUST MONEY,
MY FRIEND.

LOOK, I KNOW
BECAUSE YOU AND HE

ARE BOTH HORSEMEN,
YOU TRUST...

HE’S THE ONE.
I’M TELLING YOU.

SURE.

DON’T YOU WORRY
ABOUT A THING.

COME ON, QUICK.
THE DRIVER’S SIDE IS...

STAND DOWN.

THANKS.

SO, CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED?

UH, YEAH. ME AND NATE,
WE JUST GOT DONE

WITH THE POLK BUILDING.
I RADIOED THE OFFICE

AND THEN WHAM!
THESE TWO DUDES,

THEY COME OUT OF NOWHERE.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
DESCRIBE THEM TO ME?

THEY WAS DEFINITELY
A COUPLE OF...

YOU KNOW, WHITE DUDES,

BUT I DIDN’T GET
A GOOD LOOK AT THEM

’CAUSE THEY HAD BANDANNAS
OVER THEIR FACES.

THEY PUSHED US IN THE VAN,

TOLD US TO GIVE UP
EVERYTHING,

INCLUDING OUR UNIFORMS.

AND THEN ONE GUY,
HE TIES US UP,

WHILE THE OTHER GUY,
HE SAYS...

I’LL TAKE CARE
OF THEM.

AND THAT’S WHEN
I THOUGHT WE WERE DEAD.

BUT HE DIDN’T DO IT.

I DON’T GET IT.

I MEAN,
I’M GRATEFUL AS HELL,

BUT WHY TELL THE OTHER GUY
THAT HE WAS GONNA TAKE...

TAKE CARE OF US
IF THAT’S NOT WHAT
HE WAS GONNA DO?

SO, ONE OF THE UNSUBS

CHOSE TO SPARE THE LIVES
OF THE VEXTEL CREW.

NOT ONLY DID HE SPARE
THEIR LIVES,

HE DELIBERATELY
LIED TO HIS PARTNER.

SO IF OUR UNSUBS
HAVE BEEN CULLED

FROM THE RANKS
OF THE HORSEMEN,

THEN IT SEEMS
THAT ONE OF THEM’S

HAVING SOME DOUBTS ABOUT
THEIR MANIFEST DESTINY.

AND THAT ONE MAY NOT
BE SO KEEN

ON SACRIFICING HIMSELF
FOR THE CAUSE.

LEONARD HAGLAND
HAS ARRIVED.

YOU BUREAU BOYS
ARE SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE
I’M ABOUT TO GET

A BIG OLD NEEDLE
IN MY VEINS

THAT YOU CAN BRING ME
IN HERE

AND I JUST MIGHT
BREAK DOWN AND SNITCH?

I’M SUPERVISORY
SPECIAL AGENT DAVID ROSSI.

NOW, THE REASON THAT I...

YEAH, YOU MUST
HAVE ME CONFUSED

WITH ONE OF YOUR
MAFIA COUSINS,

’CAUSE I DON’T
BEND OVER LIKE THAT.

WOW! STICKS AND STONES,
LENNY.

BUT I GOTTA SAY,
I WAS EXPECTING

SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE
INTIMIDATING

FROM THE NOTORIOUS LEADER
OF THE HORSEMEN,

BUT THEN YOU’RE JUST
THE PUNK-ASS COWARD

WHO SHOT TWO VIRGINIA STATE
TROOPERS IN THE BACK.

I ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE.

THOSE MEN
WERE TRESPASSING
ON MY PROPERTY.

THEY WERE THERE
TO ASSASSINATE ME.

IT’S ALL PART OF YOUR
FBI/ATF GESTAPO.

WHOA, WHOA. YOU KNOW,
I WISH WE HAD TIME TO CHAT,

BUT THERE’S SOME MEN
WHO HAVE TAKEN

A WHOLE BUNCH
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE HOSTAGE,

AND THEIR ONLY DEMAND
IS THAT WE SET YOU FREE.

NOW, DO YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

WHO ARE THE HOSTAGES?

THAT DOESN’T MATTER.

YOU DON’T SEE IT,
DO YOU?
SEE WHAT?

THE AWAKENING.

’CAUSE THIS CROOKED
SYSTEM HAS CHOSEN

TO CRUCIFY MEN LIKE ME.

IT’S FORCED A SWORD
TO BE DRAWN

THAT WILL REFRESH
THE TREE OF LIBERTY

WITH BLOOD AND...

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
SOUNDS LIKE TO ME,

BESIDES A WHOLE BUNCH OF BS?

THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A NON-DENIAL DENIAL.

I GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.

TODAY YOU GOT SOME
INNOCENT FOLK
BEING HELD HOSTAGE.

BUT TOMORROW, TOMORROW,
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,

JUDGMENT WILL MARCH
RIGHT TO THE HEART

OF THE FBI
AND CUT IT OUT.

LENNY, ARE YOU
THREATENING ME?

NO, I’M JUST, UH...

I’M JUST TELLING YOU
THE TRUTH.

OH, MY GOD!
OH, MY GOD. IT’S KRISTY!

SHE CALLED 911.
THEY PATCHED HER
THROUGH TO ME.

KRISTY?

YOU OK?

I’M OK.

HOW MANY MEN
ARE HOLDING YOU?

THERE ARE 3, IN THEIR 20s.

OK. YOU KNOW WHAT COULD
REALLY HELP US RIGHT NOW

IS IF YOU COULD USE
YOUR PHONE’S CAMERA

TO SHOW US WHAT’S
GOING ON IN THERE.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

BUT THEY TOOK
ALL OF OUR DEVICES,

SO THIS ISN’T MY PHONE.

IT’S THE ONE
I JUST BOUGHT YOU.

BUT EVEN WITHOUT
THE SERVICE BEING ACTIVATED,

IT LET ME MAKE
AN EMERGENCY CALL.

CAN YOU ACTIVATE
THE PHONE
SHE’S CALLING FROM?

I SURE CAN. GIVE ME A SEC.

KRISTY...

I WANT YOU TO KNOW
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

OH, NO.

KRISTY? WHAT’S WRONG?

ALL RIGHT, CAN I HAVE
EVERYONE’S ATTENTION?

IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE
ANYONE ON THE OUTSIDE

CARES WHETHER
YOU PEOPLE LIVE OR DIE.

NO.

GET UP.

NO. NO, PLEASE.
PLEASE, LET ME GO.

DON’T DO THIS!

PLEASE, DON’T DO THIS!

JUST LET ME GO!

UHH!

KRISTY?

YOU THINK DROPPING BODIES
IS GONNA ACCELERATE

GETTING YOU WHAT YOU WANT,
BUT IT WON’T.

HAGLAND HAS JUST BEEN
RELEASED INTO FBI CUSTODY,

BUT IF YOU DON’T KEEP
YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER,

THAT’S WHERE IT ENDS.

PLEASE SPARE ME
THE BORING DETAILS.

JUST RELEASE HIM,
AND THIS IS OVER.

I CAN KEEP THINGS
MOVING FORWARD,

BUT I NEED YOU TO MAKE
A GOOD FAITH EFFORT.

ALL RIGHT? A GESTURE.

I NEED YOU TO RELEASE
JUST ONE HOSTAGE TO ME.

JUST ONE.

MATT, MATT,
ARE YOU STILL THERE?

I’M HERE.

OK. I’M READY TO DO THIS
WHEN YOU ARE.

GARCIA, WE NEED
TO ACTIVATE THIS PHONE.

YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW.
ALMOST THERE.

AND WE ARE...

LIVE. KRISTY SHOULD
BE ABLE TO SWITCH
TO A VIDEO CALL NOW.

OH... MATT.

IT’S REALLY GOOD
TO SEE YOU.

YOU, TOO.

OK, LET’S DO THIS.

SO EVEN THOUGH I MIGHT NOW
BE ABLE TO KEEP TALKING TO YOU,

I MIGHT STILL BE ABLE
TO HEAR YOU

’CAUSE I HAVE THIS
WIRELESS EAR BUD IN.

OK. I HOPE THAT HELPS.

THAT’S PERFECT.

GARCIA, BACK TO YOU.
WE NEED TO UPLINK THIS
TO THE COMMAND POST.

ALREADY MAKING
THE CONNECTION.

YOU’RE LOOKING
AT DALTON McCANN, 24,

AND THIS IS JASPER TALBOT, 26.

BOTH OF THEM ARE EX-ARMY,

DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED,
EX-CONS.

THEY ARE
SUSPECTED FOR A SERIES

OF BANK ROBBERIES
IN FLORIDA.

SO I’VE BEEN
FOLLOWING UP

ON SOME FRIENDS
OF HAGLAND,

AND I FOUND A LEAD
ON OUR THIRD MAN.

NOW, ACCORDING
TO VISITORS LOGS,

THE YOUNG MAN SITTING
WITH LEONARD HAGLAND

IS A ROLAND COLE.

AND WHEN ROSSI ASKED ME
TO DO A LITTLE MORE DIGGING,

I COULDN’T FIND ANY REAL
RECORD OF A ROLAND COLE.

NOW, TAKE A LOOK
HOW THE TWO INTERACT
WITH ONE ANOTHER.

THE BODY
LANGUAGE DOES SUGGEST

A PARTICULAR BOND
OF INTIMACY.

YEAH. AND WHAT
I’M SEEING IS THE INTERPLAY

BETWEEN A FATHER AND SON.

EXCEPT THERE
IS NO OFFICIAL RECORD

OF HAGLAND HAVING A SON.

HE HAS 3 DAUGHTERS
FROM ONE WIFE.

BUT YOU THINK HE ALSO HAS
AN ILLEGITIMATE SON.

A SON DESPERATE TO BE
LEGITIMATELY ACKNOWLEDGED

BY AN ABSENT FATHER.

WELL, I’M STILL GOING
THROUGH THE ALDC FILES

AND I SHOULD BE ABLE
TO VERIFY THAT INFORMATION.

WE SHOULD DO THAT.
WE NEED THE DETAILS.

I’M GONNA
GO GET CONFIRMATION

RIGHT FROM THE SOURCE.

WE KNOW THAT HIS NAME
ISN’T ROLAND COLE.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, WE KNOW
THAT HE’S YOUR SON, LENNY,

AND THAT HE’S THE ONE
LEADING THE CHARGE

TO SET YOU FREE.

HE’S A GOOD BOY.

AND YOUR WIFE CLEARLY
HAS NO IDEA.

BUT I HONESTLY WISH
THAT SHE’D BEEN THE ONE
WHO’D GIVEN HIM TO ME.

BUT THAT IS NOT
HOW IT WAS INTENDED,

BECAUSE
THE GOOD LORD, WELL,

HE WORKS
IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.

IF YOU CARE SO MUCH
ABOUT YOUR SON,

WHY WOULD YOU BE WILLING
TO SACRIFICE HIM

FOR SOME VAIN EFFORT...

OH, SPARE ME YOUR
SANCTIMONIOUS
CRAP, AGENT ROSSI.

NOW, DO YOU REALLY
WANT TO SAVE THE LIVES

OF THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE,
BECAUSE YOU KNOW
I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU.

THAT’S WHY YOU BROUGHT ME
IN HERE TO BEGIN WITH.

I COULD TALK TO THE BOY.

I WISH YOU COULD
TALK TO HIM.

BUT...

I’D LIKE SOMETHING
IN RETURN.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

NOW, I’M NOT ASKING
TO GET OUT OF JAIL.

I JUST WANT
TO GET OFF DEATH ROW.

GET ME OFF DEATH ROW
AND GET ME INTO
A FEDERAL FACILITY

WHERE I CAN SERVE OUT
THE REST OF MY LIFE.

THAT AFRAID
TO MEET YOUR MAKER?

I’M AFRAID YOU DON’T
HAVE MUCH TIME.

WELL?

I’M NOT HERE
TO NEGOTIATE.

THEN THE BLOOD
OF ALL THOSE ALDC FOLKS

IS ON YOUR HANDS.

THANKS FOR THE HELP, LENNY.

SO, IF ROLAND COLE
IS HAGLAND’S SON,

THEN THE WAY TO DEFUSE
THIS SITUATION RIGHT NOW

IS TO SOMEHOW
UNDERMINE HIS BELIEF

THAT THIS SACRIFICE
IS GONNA EARN HIM

HIS FATHER’S
LONG-WITHHELD APPROVAL.

WELL, ONE WAY WE CAN START
TO GET INSIDE OF HIS HEAD

IS BY USING HIS REAL NAME.

LOOKS LIKE IT’S JOSH MARTIN.

ALSO, I’M NOT SURE
IF KRISTY’S EVEN AWARE

OF HOW MUCH DEEP
BACKGROUND RESEARCH

THE ALDC DID ON HAGLAND
AND HIS HORSEMEN,

BUT THE RUMOR WAS
THAT MOST OF THEIR MONEY

CAME FROM RUNNING
ILLEGAL GUNS THROUGH MEXICO.

AND THEN
UP INTO NEW MEXICO,

WHERE JOSH
WAS BORN AND RAISED.

MATT, HOW CONFIDENT
ARE YOU THAT THIS
RESEARCH IS ACCURATE?

YOU’RE ASKING BECAUSE
YOU WANT TO KNOW

IF THAT’S WHO JOSH’S
MOTHER REALLY WAS?

YOU KNOW I NEVER SAY DIE.

I’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
MY DIGITAL BAG OF TRICKS

FIGURING A WAY TO HACK
THE BUILDING BACK

FROM THE BAD GUYS.

I FOUND A DISCREPANCY

IN THE BLUEPRINTS
OF THE BUILDING SERVER

AND THOSE ON FILE
AT VEXTEL SECURITY.

WAIT, I THINK GARCIA
JUST FOUND IT.

THIS IS THE WAY THEY
THINK THEY CAN GUARANTEE

WALKING AWAY FROM THIS.

WHAT DAMN GOOD
IS IT DOING?

EROL, PLEASE,
BE QUIET.

WE JUST NEED
TO STAY CALM.

HEY.

OH, NO.

NO!

HE FOUND THE CAMERA.

WHAT, DO YOU WANT
TO HELP THE COPS?

HUH? IS THAT IT?

IT WASN’T ME, I SWEAR!

LET’S GIVE ’EM
SOMETHING TO WATCH.

NO!

GET UP!

LET HIM GO. I DID IT.

UHH!

IT WAS MY PHONE.

I PUT IT UP THERE.

UHH!

STOP! NO!

AAH! NO!

AAH!

WANT TO WATCH?

WATCH THIS.

KRISTY, KRISTY,
IF YOU CAN STILL HEAR US,

REPEAT EVERY WORD I TELL YOU.

JOSH.

JOSH...

YOU DON’T HAVE
TO DO THIS.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS.

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

I KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
I KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

YOUR NAME IS JOSH MARTIN.

THAT’S RIGHT.

GUNS THROUGH MEXICO.
AND THAT’S WHERE...

WHAT THE HELL
IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?

THE HORSEMEN WERE RUNNING
GUNS THROUGH MEXICO,

AND THAT’S WHERE LEONARD
HAGLAND MET GABRIELA.

HE TOOK HER
AS HIS MISTRESS...
HE TOOK HER
AS HIS MISTRESS...

HE SNUCK HER
ACROSS THE BORDER...

AND THEN HE SNUCK HER
ACROSS THE BORDER

AND MOVED HER
TO NEW MEXICO.

TRUTH OR...
