Crisis (2014): Season 1, Episode 4 - We Were Supposed to Help Each Other - full transcript

Previously on Crisis...

Remember, our corporate offices
are in New York if you need anything.

We're working with Homes
for Human Kind

to build houses in New York.

I'm your mother, Amber.
I get to worry.

This is Agent Finley's first
inner perimeter assignment.

Would you take a
bullet for me, right?

I was trained to protect your life;
I wouldn't be here if I weren't.

We know who you are. We talked
to the agents in that other SUV.

Movement.

Hurst?



In 15 seconds
a truck is going to pull up.

You are going to get off
this bus and onto that truck.

"As you can tell
from the way you were taken,

we are professionals.
If you do not respect that,

we are also very comfortable
with the use of force."

And I don't want to hear any
"You're too emotionally close

to do your job clearly" crap

because your niece
is on that bus.

- Your sister gives us access.
- We're not on speaking terms, sir.

- Now you are.
- And you just want to see your kid?

I know I said I never
wanted to, but now...

I need to.

Tell me what you see.

Two men, mid-20s,
both unconscious.



Our men are dead.
FBI has both soldiers.

We think he took those kids
to use their parents.

Morgan Roth, Dunn's sister,
the ambassador--

all used by the kidnapper.
Do as he says or their kids die.

Call your friend, General
Osborne, and tell him you

need to meet with him alone.
Tell him you have important

White House business to discuss.

And the nature of this business?

Truth.

Truth and pain.

Breaking news on
the Ballard School kidnapping...

Now a tragic development...

Press is gonna
have a lot of questions.

They're gonna want to know
how that parent died.

That parent died for their kid.

Because the kidnapper
left them no choice.

Dunn?

If we do get their
daughter back...

how do we explain that to her?

You've been a congressman
a long time, Mr. Wirth.

Four terms.

You've sent a lot of
men and women into battle.

Today it's your turn.

Do you understand how to use
what I've given you?

Please don't make us do this.

Mrs. Wirth, do you

understand how to use
what I've given you?

Yes.

You're scared.

Make your love for your daughter

stronger than your fear
of what is to come.

- You really think he'll put that vest on?
- Wouldn't you?

To save your daughter?

No kids.

I'm sorry to hear that.

The people who took your
kids are using them as leverage.

The people who took your kids

are asking you to make
an impossible choice.

If you have been contacted,

it is essential
that you let us know.

Do not comply with any demands.

I know it's a
difficult decision.

So I'll make it easy
for you to say no.

As of this moment,

each of you is the subject

of an FBI investigation.

And your movements
will be watched,

your communications
will be monitored.

We will not let them use you.

That is a promise.

Did you know the proof of life
photo of Amber you gave me

- was part of the kidnappers' plan?
- No.

They told me I would see Amber

and they left that
photo instead.

You weren't told to get
that photo into the FBI?

No.

You don't believe me.

I think you lied to me
when you gave me that photo,

I think you're lying to me now,

and if I could prove it,
I would lock you up.

Two days ago
you begged me to find her.

I'd never seen you like that.
You were so scared.

But this...
this is the Meg I remember.

The Meg who
controls everything.

- Why the change?
- No change.

I'm still scared.

I'm still begging
you to find Amber.

But...

I think you need to focus
on the investigation

and not on whatever
hostility you have for me.

If you want to find
your daughter.

Do you know why the ambassador's
son was let go?

I assume one
or both of his parents

did what the kidnappers asked.

Your wife did what they asked.
Why didn't they let Amber go?

Did you ask her?

Aren't you curious?

Because I am real curious
about that.

If I tell you I don't
know, you'll just

tell me that I'm lying.

Maybe you're not the right
person for this case.

You know your anger
makes you careless.

My meds.

Considering the circumstances,
I'm adjusting the dose.

You want a bump?

No, I don't.

Downstairs.

Now.

Everyone downstairs now!

Move. Let's go.

All right, let's go.

Move it, move it, move
it, let's go.

Last names. "A" through "M"

to the right. "N" through "Z"

to the left.

Move.

"You will take a stack
of money exactly three

inches high. You will wrap this
in foil. You will put three

of these stacks in a bag. You
will fill the rest of the bag

with exactly four
ounces of coffee beans.

You will seal the bag and put
six of these bags in a box.

You will seal the box

and stack the boxes.

There are 250,000 bills here.

You will not sleep
until this is done.

The group that
stacks the most boxes...

will not be punished."

All right, let's go, move.

Move, let's go.

Coffee?

For smuggling.

Dogs won't be able
to smell all that cash.

Congressman Wirth.

Congressman Wirth,
Mrs. Wirth.

- Can we help you?
- I'm Agent Pender.

We're the FBI escorts.

We're on the first shift
with you today.

There are so many of you.

Two for you, two
for your husband.

Marie here is
my chief of staff.

Where I go, she goes.

Then it will just be the
six of us. Shall we?

You want to tell me
why you didn't want me

- in that interview with your sister?
- No, I don't.

You recorded that
interview so I could

- maybe listen to it later?
- No, I didn't.

You want to ask me any more
questions on this line?

No, ma'am. Your
family, your rules.

- You back up your partner because that's
what partners do? - That's how I learned it.

- Except when they shoot you.
- Except when they shoot you.

I'm Ms. Fletcher,
I work in the office here.

Are you the FBI agents
in charge of the parents?

- Yes. - I just saw Mrs. Yarrow,
Senator Yarrow's wife,

lock herself in the band room.

- Her daughter, Sloan, was on the bus.
- Where's that room?

- Down this hall.
- Could you see what Mrs. Yarrow was doing?

Yes. She was crying.

Lamborghini.

Lamborghini.

- Lamborghini.
- Luke, maybe you could stop that.

Maserati.
Maserati.

He's whiffed.

- What?
- Luke-- he's high.

This morning, in the shower,
he was snorting his meds.

Perfect.

Was Kyle doing it, too?

No.

Why?

Are you blushing?

No.

I got punched in the face,
remember? It's a bruise.

Keep working.

Mrs. Yarrow,
can you hear me?

Mrs. Yarrow,
you need to open the door.

- I can't see. - Her husband's
a senator. He's got real power

the kidnapper could use.
Where are those damn keys?

- You got a call?
- Yes, this morning.

- Mrs. Yarrow, open the door.
- Mrs. Yarrow,

open the door.

Dunn.

A Ballard parent
is on the damn news.

I'm sending you
a link right now.

What did the caller ask you?

- To read this.
- Hey.

"We have taken your children.

They're ours now.

You should have been
more careful with them

when... when they were
with you.

Attempts to find them
will result in their deaths.

Attempts to find us
will result in their deaths.

You had control. That is over.

You had power. It is ours now."

Wait, now that you've read that statement,

- your child gets to come home?
- Stop talking now.

- You need to turn that off.
- No, no, not yet. There's more.

- What else has been asked of you?
- Please stop talking right now.

I get Sloan back
after my husband does

- what they've asked him to do.
- And which is what?

No, wait, out.

What did the kidnapper
ask your husband to do?

I don't know... I don't
know what. I only know where.

Where did the kidnappers
send your husband, Mrs. Yarrow?

They didn't send him anywhere.

He's still here.

Somewhere in this building.

We need to evacuate the school.

I want to thank
you for everything

you've done for
my family today.

You parents are like
our family at Ballard.

Your children are our children.

All you had to do was ask.

It shouldn't be much longer.

Here they come.

I'm not sure I can do this.

Stay strong. We'll get

your Sloan back home.

SWAT and bomb squad
just cleared that school.

No sign of your husband.

No sign of tampering
of any kind.

Where is your husband,
Mrs. Yarrow?

I think it's time to put

you two women in
separate rooms.

You will go faster!
You do not

want to be on the

losing side today.

It must be Aziz's
parents' money.

They must have paid his ransom.

That's why he's out.

They took your proof of life,

so you'll be out, too.

She'll pay, and you'll be out.

Amber, I'm so sorry.

Sorry for what you did,

or sorry for lying about it?

I'm sorry for hurting you.

_

Hey, kid.

Hey! Hey, stop!

He broke the rules.

Help me.

Here, tilt his head back.

Come on, come on.

Come on!

This boy needs help!

Can you hear me?

You need to come out here!

What the hell?

Come on, stay with us.

He's not breathing.
Tilt his head back.

Meg, is so good to see you.

Oh, God.

Have you seen any of
the other parents?

This morning at the school.

How are they doing?

They're in shock.

Frank Beckwith
and Clark Froy weren't there.

Froy's been shot,
Beckwith's arrested.

My husband's
chief of staff--

the kidnappers got to
him in the White House.

They made him torture someone.

My God.

But he... he got
his kid back.

They said you'll get him
back if you torture someone,

and Frank said yes.

I'm going to get a call.

The amount of power
my husband has.

He-- he won't do what they say,
but I didn't take an oath.

I'm going to do something
terrible to get Kyle back.

We take care
of our children, Julia.

That's what we have to do now.

We can't leave this to others.

I know that this is hard for
you, not to be in control.

We have to let the FBI do this.

What if they can't, Julia?

This kidnapping is about us.

Ambassador Rind,
Morgan Roth, me, Beckwith,

Froy, and soon, you.

We are being used.

The FBI doesn't understand us.

Not really.

Make a call for me, Julia.

Get me access to the FBI,

so I can see what it is
that they're seeing.

Then I can help us
get our kids back.

What if it's not enough?

What if we can't save them?

Make that call for me, Julia.

The kidnappers are gonna come
for all of us.

We have to protect ourselves.

Any of you parents

could get into that school.

Why would the kidnapper waste a
senator doing something there?

Yo husband was never
at Ballard, was he?

We just wasted
time and resources

searching that school.

Time and resources we
need to find those kids.

Help us.

Where's your husband,
Mrs. Yarrow?

My husband is out
getting our daughter back.

Why would you want me
to stop him from doing that?

You were the
one who told us where

to find Mrs. Yarrow.
You've been

helping her
right from the start.

I was just trying to help.

Did you help Senator Yarrow,
too?

His car was still
in the school's

parking lot,
but yours wasn't, Ms. Fletcher.

Do you know where he is?

Yes.

Do you know what he's doing?

Yes.

And if he injures other people?

That guilt belongs
to the kidnapper.

They made this happen.

My husband is getting
my daughter back.

He knows

it will ruin him, but he will

get it done.

Where is your car?

I don't think
I'm going to tell you that.

It won't take us long
to find out.

That will be more time
for Senator Yarrow

to go get Sloan.

Last night,

a man was tortured

by one of the parents.

Tortured and then made
to kill himself.

Your husband could be doing
something very dangerous.

You're the ones
who are dangerous.

You will get my Sloan killed.

You're dangerous if you stop

my husband.

You!

- What? did...? What did I do?
- No.

We got some questions
about where you used to work!

No! No! No!

- You have to stop, or they will hurt you,
too. You have to stop! - Get off me!

Get off me!
Don't ever touch me!

They were going
to hurt you, too.

It's your Secret
Service guy in there.

He's in there right now, and

he's the whole reason
that we're doing...

All right, back to
work, all of you!

Now!

You okay?

Your father used to work
for the government, right?

We weren't supposed
to talk about it,

but he worked for the CIA.

CIA?

They are totally gonna
tune your father up.

C-I-effing-A.

Heart attack

from the rifle blow.

Like when a kid playing baseball
gets hit with a pitch.

Except he wasn't
playing baseball.

He broke the rules.

I... I didn't ask
you to do this.

I got a pulse.

He's unconscious, but
at least he's breathing.

Boss, GPS shows
Senator Yarrow on the move.

- Where are the Wirths?
- Heading east.

- And their FBI escort?
- Right behind them.

Four agents in one car
about ten feet back.

Open a secure line.

Yes?

Do you have the vest with you?

We do... in my briefcase.

Where you are going,

we will no longer be able
to communicate.

It will just be you

and what you need to do.

Do you understand?

We understand,
you son of a bitch.

And we'll do whatever
you want us to do,

but the FBI is right behind us.

How do you expect us
to lose them?

In five minutes,
your FBI escort will be detained

by local police.

You will keep driving.

On the 300 block of Jefferson,
on the west side of the street,

you will find a white Accord.

Unlocked, keys under the seat.

Leave your own car.

Take this one.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Remember to bring the vest.

Please, there must be
another way.

Mrs. Wirth,
please tell your husband

what you, as a mother,
understand by now.

There is no other way.

- Are you into DC Metro PD?
- Yes.

I've taken over
police dispatch.

We have 30 seconds.

Then do it.

All units.

All units, please be advised.

Ballard kidnappers driving
stolen black SUV,

government plates SG3874,

heading east on Cordell.

All units, suspects are
armed and dangerous.

Stop and detain.

Just keep driving.

Here's how this works.

You will be allowed
limited access

to facts not released
to the public.

- Limited?
- It was not

an all-access pass
the Oval Office got you.

You can ask about anything
having to do

with the other parents
in Amber's class.

Well, other parents were used
by the kidnappers.

I want to find out what
the other parents have done.

Well, may I ask why?

They got their children back,
and I have not.

Morgan Roth helped bring down
a surveillance drone.

Ambassador Rind was forced
to allow access to...

- classified information.
- What information was that?

Do I need
to call the first lady?

The ambassador didn't know
what it was,

so your... question
does not concern a parent.

Anything else?

Yes, I need a file
of everything you have

that does concern a parent.

Ms. Fitch,

what can you do with it

that we can't?

I have four times
your employees, a full 6,000

of which are PhDs,

and ten times your budget.

So, I imagine, quite a bit.

Which ones?

Metro PD was alerted that our
FBI agents were the kidnappers.

Eight units responded,
pulled our guys over.

By the time it was sorted
out, the Wirths were gone.

Over here.

I found something.

A bomb vest.

First, Senator Yarrow
goes missing

and now Congressman Wirth.
Why those two?

Access.

They both have secure access
to the Capitol Building.

Call Olsen. We need
to lock down the Capitol.

All right, meal break!

Let's go!
Meal break! Move!

When I get out of here,

nothing will ever be the same,
will it?

No. Nothing will ever
be the same.

It will be
about what happened here,

who got out, who didn't,
who died.

- What they did to us.
- Amber,

I know you.

- You do not have to let this be your life.
- But it is.

It's already started.

You have good hands.

But I'm not a good person.

I've met a lot worse lately.

Break time is over.

Amber,
what do you think of my hands?

Wait.
Dunn,

the kidnappers had us chasing
our tail all day.

First the school,
now the Capitol.

Something's not right.

The Wirths ditched
their FBI escorts where?

Right here.

From the Ballard School,
that's heading away

from the Capitol.

Where'd they find
Connie Fletcher's car?

Here. That's headed away
from the Capitol Building, too.

So if you start at
the Ballard School,

head past where they ditched
their cars

and keep going, what
else is out that way?

Langley.

- That's CIA.
- Finley,

Wirth and Yarrow both sit on
intelligence committees, right?

- Yeah, they do.
- That gives them access

to the CIA building.

That black site
we found was CIA.

One of our hostages is ex-CIA.

And now we have two parents
with access to the CIA building.

We sure see those three
letters a lot lately.

- Yes, ma'am, we sure do.
- Don't call me "ma'am."

- It's a term of respect.
- No, it's what cops call women

they're forced to tolerate.

We need to get to the CIA.

I'm so s-scared.

- I know. I am, too.
- This is insane.

We should call the FBI.

Just listen to me.
The ambassador's son was let go.

His parents must have done
what was asked of them.

Did they have to put that on?

I don't know.

But they're both still alive
and their son is free.

I want our daughter back,

and I want her back now.

Today.

I'm glad we got the call

'cause we can do this.

I don't think I can put that on.

When the time comes,

you will.

- You got a call?
- This morning.

What do you have for us?

Is that vest real?

We don't have
much time, Senator.

What do you have for us?

The voice on the phone told me
where to find this.

It was in the vault.

Here.

Plug it into your phone.

You got to get 150 feet
away from the building,

otherwise the building will
jam the cell phone calls.

So you have to get that far.
150 feet.

- Is that vest real?
- No, it's not. It's just...

- how we-- we could get into the building.
- But the guards

- don't know that.
- What else do I need to know, Mason?

You take that flash drive

out of the building,
the building's sensors

are gonna trigger the alarms.

Why the fake vest?

It's-- it's a diversion.

He wears it, everybody looks
at him, I walk

the flash drive out
of the building.

We don't need
a real vest for that.

But the armed CIA guards
won't know that.

I can't put it on. I can't.

We do what they ask,
we get our kids back.

Then you put it on.

I'll do it.

- I'll do it.
- Marie...

Shut up. Don't say anything.
Just-- just take this.

Plug it into your phone.
While everyone's looking at me,

you get that 150 feet away
from the building,

you send them whatever
they-- they want to be sent

and you get our daughter back.

Marie...

I love you, Langston.

Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

He stays unconscious,

he's gonna need more care
than I can give him.

Where are the Wirths and Yarrow?

They've just started now.

There's an injured child
in there because of you.

- He broke the rules.
- So you disciplined him?

That's right.

I did.

I'll handle this.

You do not touch these
children unless I tell you.

You do not decide
discipline here.

You're not a parent.

How could you know?

_

Bomb! She's got a bomb! Bomb!

Hands off the trigger.

I got her. You go after
the other two parents.

You step back! Secret Service!
I'm Secret Service!

You thinking about Sharlene?

Drop it!

You are, aren't you?

Right now, she's all
you can think about.

- You know my daughter's name?
- Step away, sir!

Don't worry about them.
For a vest, they'll use a sniper.

We won't see him,

but he's there, Marie.

Security breach.

This is Navajo 1.

I have the shot.
I'm awaiting a green light.

What the... No shot. No shot.

Security breach.

I know you're doing this
to save Sharlene.

Navajo 1. I have no shot.

But the sniper wants
to shoot you, Marie.

I'll do my best
to stand in his way.

Why would you want to do that?

It's kind of my job description.

I don't know why the kidnappers

want you dead, Marie,
but I'm pretty sure

it's not
what your daughter wants.

- Classified materials have left the
building. - Congressman Wirth!

Congressman Wirth!

They are going to kill you.

Congressman Wirth,
I need that phone!

Not yet.

- I need that phone, sir.
- Please. Not just yet.

Help me.

This is Navajo 2. I'm on target.

- I need that phone, sir.
- Please. Not just yet.

You are a go Navajo 2.
Take a round.

The runner is down.
I repeat, the runner is down.

Congressman Wirth is down.

The bomb's not real!

The bomb's not real!

Marie, where is your husband?

- What does he have to do?
- Just let him go. Please. Just let him go.

Did it go?

Did it go?

_

Do I get my kid back now?

Are you hurt?

Finley, get his phone.

- Step away!
- I'm Secret Service.

Finley, do not let them take it.

That's CIA property.
That's national security.

- Back off.
- This is a crime scene

and that is part of it,
so all of this is FBI now.

I need that phone

and your statements.
So back away.

Finley, if we don't see
what's on that phone,

we're never gonna figure out

what Wirth sent
to the kidnappers.

So let's get that phone.

I'm gonna pick that up.

You want to shoot
a federal officer, go ahead.

But do me a favor,
aim for this side.

I'm still tender over here.

Do not touch that phone!

Hand over the phone now! Hand it over!

Step away!

What was it?

Did you see it?

Video. I think it was
US Special Forces.

Night vision.

Dunn, it looked like
they were shooting civilians.

I've seen a lot of things.

Never anything like that.

You've been in a lot
of firefights, haven't you?

I have.

Well, what impresses you
about this one?

The total lack of control.

Yes.

The people in control were
somewhere else at the time.

Where's Sharlene?

- When was the last time you saw her?
- Last meal break.

Sloan's missing, too.

Did they take them?

Did anyone see Sloan
or Sharlene get taken?

Is this it?

Am I going home?

That voice on the phone
told us where to go, what to do.

- Did you see the video?
- No.

- You were alone with it, but
you didn't watch it? - No, that's right.

We did exactly as we were told.

Except...

he was supposed
to wear the vest.

But he couldn't...

so I did, and now he's dead.

Can you tell me
what time it is... please?

It's a little after 3:00.

Why?

And the flash drive?

It was where
he said it would be.

You keep doing that--
looking at your watch.

Yes.

I had to wait until now
to tell you something.

- What?
- I have to tell you...

38.907...

2309.

77.0364641.

I wrote it down
so I wouldn't forget.

See?

Will you excuse me
for one minute?

GPS coordinates. They each got
half of the location.

It's around the block from here.

What do you see, Finley?

Look at windows,
rooftops, doorways.

Look for people standing
alone, looking down,

looking the other direction
from everyone else.

Look for idling cars,
backpacks.

Look for hands in pockets,
combat boots.

Look for cars
at expired meters.

Clear.

Girls, my name is Agent
Susie Dunn. Are you okay?

Is it over?

Is it over?

My name is Amber Fitch.

I've been selected by my captors
to read this message.

That man did not have
to die today.

That was the CIA
who did that shooting.

Congressman Wirth's blood
is on the CIA, not us.

Amber...
this is Agent Susie Dunn.

I'm with the FBI.

My father's dead?

I'm not going home, am I?

Go back to work.

Sharlene's father is dead.

My best friend's dad.

You didn't know, did you?

My dad--

what are you doing to him?

When can he come back out?

By leaving them just

around the block from the FBI,

he's saying he's better than us,
smarter than us.

He can come onto our street,
and we can't stop him.

I have access to the
surveillance cameras on

that block.
Here it is.

Fix that.

Fix it now!

It's not the equipment. It's
him. Those cameras use infrared.

If he's wearing infrared LEDs

in a hat, no one
around will notice,

but on camera,
it comes out like that.

My name is Amber Fitch.
I've been selected...

We got this,
but he bounced the signal

too much to get an origin.

That man did not
have to die today.

That was the CIA
who did that shooting.

Congressman Wirth's blood
is on the CIA, not us.

My name is Amber Finch...

This side wins.

You will get dinner,
you'll sleep

in a bed.

This side loses.

No dinner, and

you will sleep
on the floor tonight.

Now go wash up.

You all stink of money.

Hold on that one.

Push in on that.

Identify that location.

Those are onlookers
outside the Pakistani embassy,

Washington, DC.

What is it?
What do you see?

I know him.

He used to work for me.

What did he do?

You know, we do a lot
of business with the CIA.

He was our liaison.

Why did he stop
working for you?

Something horrible happened.

How did you get in here?

The guards are changing shifts.

You're supposed to leave

when you see someone like this.

Yeah?

And why is that?

Because it's ugly.

But I don't want to leave.

You want to know why.

I know why.

You want to feel something
that's just yours.

Yes...

That no one else can touch.

Yes...

I know what that's like.

I know what that's like.

You don't know.

How could you?

That one.

He was in the video
I saw at the CIA.

You're sure?

I'm sure.

He was one of the
soldiers we took out

of the Pakistani embassy.

If this kidnapping
is about the CIA,

we don't talk on
the phone about it,

we don't e-mail about it,

we don't speak of it
at FBI headquarters.

This is the kind of

investigation
that ruins careers

and gets people dead.

So it's just you two and me.
