Hostages (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 15 - Endgame - full transcript

Previously on Hostages...

You're playing
a dangerous game, Colonel.

Your wife and daughter
will be released

the second our friend on
Pennsylvania Avenue is dead.

What the hell is going on?

I apologize for
the inconvenience, ma'am.

Call Blair right now and tell him
to release my wife and daughter.

He won't do it.
Blair doesn't trust me anymore.

No matter how this surgery
plays out tomorrow,

Blair is a problem for both of us.

- He is not an easy man to kill.
- That's why you need my help.



I ran a test
on the President's blood.

His bone marrow is the
perfect match for your wife.

She's the President's daughter,
isn't she?

You'll need to kill him.

And then save him.

It's the only way to get
Logan to play ball,

but getting the President's bone
marrow doesn't mean a damn thing

if we can't get it
out of the hospital.

We keep this private.
For now. Just you and me.

- How do I get the blood sample?
- Well, when the surgery is over,

I'll have someone bring you
into the operating room,

and I'll hand it to you.

You remember Dr. Evans,
my personal physician?

I'll be at the President's side
until the surgery's completed.



Happy to have you.

We need these guys' help.

They'll create a diversion
on the day of the surgery.

I'm told you have a plan
already in place.

We can take down the President
of the United States.

Tell me more.

Once the President flatlines,

we're going to need five minutes
alone with the body.

We need to create
a crisis inside the hospital,

while you're operating
on the President.

I left a bag.
Inside there's a smoke grenade.

Stick it inside the fire extinguisher case
closest to the operating room.

Hey, Jake!
What's the matter?

Oh, God.

You guys aren't goin' anywhere
until the President's dead.

__

You ready?

Yes.

Things will move fast
in that operating room,

so you need to be ready.

I've been through this.
I know what to do.

Right.

After it's over,

what's going to happen?

Follow the plan.

Collect your things,
then leave town.

Eventually you'll meet
up with your family.

But you're certain that Brian
and the kids got away?

Yes.

There's no reason
to keep us hostage.

The mission is over.

Ellen is not gonna
kill the President.

Duncan lied to you.

I don't believe you.

How else do you explain
Jake still being alive?

All I know is there's
something else going on.

Duncan wouldn't change the plan.

If Ellen doesn't kill the President,
it puts us all at risk.

Including Duncan.

Which is why you should take off.

Disappear, before this
whole thing falls apart.

Still not too late.

No.

I'm not walking away
from this payday.

There is no payday.

Better hope you're wrong
about that, Bri.

__

How will we know
who the inside man is?

He'll know who we are.

Honey, why don't you take that
into the other room to watch.

Okay.

I demand to speak to my husband.

I know he's the one
behind all of this.

You will speak with him.
In fact, that's why I'm here.

How long does he think he can
keep us locked up this way?

Not much longer.
I assure you.

If he delivers on his promise,
you and your daughter

will be free to leave
by the end of the day.

What promise?

That's not your concern,
Mrs. Carlyle.

All you need to do right now
is get on the phone with him,

and let him know you're all right.

Hello, Duncan.

They're both fine.

You have one minute as agreed.

- Duncan...
- Nina, are you and Sawyer okay?

- Where's Sawyer?
- She's fine. She's in the next room.

What is going on?
Why are these men holding us?

What did you get us involved in?

Everything is going to be all right.
I promise you.

How can you say that?

Nina, I'm so sorry.

I just need you to be strong

a little longer.

All right?

Let me talk to Sawyer.

You can talk to them both after
our business is concluded.

And then you can all
live happily ever after.

You don't really think
that son of a bitch

intends to let them go, do you?

No.

But we're going to convince him.

What time will Blair
arrive at the event?

About an hour or so.

What type of security
will he have around him?

He only has one
personal security officer,

an ex-Special Ops
soldier named Wilson.

You'll need to distract him.

Okay.

I wish we didn't have to do this.

He's holding my wife
and daughter hostage,

you'll excuse me if I don't
show much sympathy for him.

This is personal for you.

Like President Kincaid is for me.

I thought it was political.

For Blair.

I believe the President's
death is a matter of justice.

Don't you agree?

Absolutely.

I'm just concerned about the
proximity to this rib here,

can you pull up another image?

Madam First Lady.
The President just went into pre-op.

Actually I would like
to speak with you.

Alone.

I've done some further
reading, Dr. Sanders.

The genetic marker for
dementia that you claimed

you found in my husband's blood.

One lab in the country
runs the test for that,

and his blood wasn't sent there.

Which means you've been lying.

You have exactly one minute
to explain yourself,

before I open that door and
have Secret Service arrest you.

- Yes?
- Everything all set?

Yes, everything's in motion.

We're with the blue team.

Glad you could make it.

Clear the south hall
of civilian personnel.

- You two are on the stairwell.
- Copy that, sir.

Nervous?

Why?
Just another day at work.

See you in there.

Almost there, sir.

This way.

Mr. President, you remember your
anesthesiologist, Dr. Carp.

He's currently administering
a general anesthetic,

so you may feel some drowsiness,
numbness, that's totally normal.

Now I want you to count
backwards from 100 for me.

One hundred, 99,

98, 97,

96...

Vanessa. It's your sister.

Uh, I just found out something...

important.

It's essential that we
speak as soon as possible.

Call me.

Hmm. Yes.

We're in position.

Excuse me?

Do you work for that guy?

- Who is he?
- Why?

I saw something weird earlier

and I don't know who
to report it to.

There was a guy
taking video of him.

And I know we're not supposed
to take pictures in here.

And the guy hid his camera
as soon as I got close.

Who was the guy?

It was one of the waiters, but I've
never seen him at work before.

- Can you point him out to me?
- Yeah.

Retractor.

Scalpel.

Vitals are stable.

Thank you.

Forceps, please.

Nicely done, Dr. Sanders.

Very clean.

Just a little bit more and
we'll have all of it.

Where are we going?

Colonel.

Excuse me.

I know that you think I undermined
you with the Vice-President,

but you're wrong.

This is all a misunderstanding.

Really?

He misinterpreted
my offer to advise him,

but I've set the record straight.

I told him flat out that
I don't want the job,

and that you are the candidate
I wanted to put forward.

You really expect me
to believe you?

No, don't take it from me.
Talk to the Vice-President yourself.

He wants to sit down with you
before he gives his speech.

Now?

I suggested that you might have
some policy ideas for him.

And, um...

Who better to be sitting
next to in the next hour

when the news comes in.

I don't know what your game is.

But I'm willing to play along.

There's a shortcut
through the kitchen.

I want my wife and daughter back.

Duncan.

I'm sorry.

You are making a mistake.

We're not enemies.

I want the President dead because
he is a danger to our country.

I have no reason to hurt your
family and I will release them.

As soon as the job is complete.

Well, I don't feel like waiting.

Take out your phone,
and make the call.

Otherwise, I'll put
a bullet in your head.

More retraction, please.

What is that?

We got a bleeder. Clamp.

You applied
too much retraction, nurse.

Looks like he's ruptured an artery.

I don't know what happened.

Dr. Sanders, do something.

He could bleed out.

Get some suction in here.

Tachi to 120.

How's his blood pressure?

110 over 80.

That's the signal.

Keep the suction in there.

What the hell was that?

How's his blood pressure?

90 over 60.

- IV wide open.
- Give me the air check.

Yes, sir.

Agent Logan. Where is that smoke
coming from? What are you doing?

I got this. Keep your
eyes on the President.

I can't locate the bleeder.

Madam First Lady, come with me.

This way. Let's go. Let's go.

We have a biochem agent.

Repeat. We have detected
a biochem attack.

Shut down hospital
power immediately.

I can't see a thing as it is.

What are you going to do?
He's losing pressure.

I need to locate the bleeder.

Get the gauze in there.
Keep the suction in.

- Shut down the power.
- 90 over 60.

Glow sticks, mark the exits.

Automatic weapons, let's go.

Glow sticks.

Backup generator's on.
Agent Logan. What's happening?

Keep the gauze in there.
Apply some pressure.

- 110 over 80.
- Okay, pull this down.

We need to move the President.

We can't.
The President is bleeding out.

- He could die.
- Do it.

I'm not going to ask
you again, move him!

Let's go.

- Yeah.
- It's me. I got them.

They're safe.

This is WUSA reporting live

with breaking news from
Maryland College Hospital,

where President Kincaid is
currently undergoing surgery.

Okay, bag him. Bag him.

Come on. Come on. Let's go.
Everyone, let's go.

- Cover both doors.
- Sir.

Ricky, frequency alpha.

What's frequency alpha?

We're on frequency alpha,
go ahead.

We've been compromised.

Hostiles are disguised as agents.

We are changing security protocol.

New identify password
is "kingmaker."

Copy that.
New identify password "kingmaker."

Listen up, new identify
password is "kingmaker."

Get the exits. Let's go.
You two on the south exit, let's go.

He's crashing.

- Get his pressure up.
- Get him out of here, now!

Identify yourselves.

What's the password?

Password?

Password.
What is the password?

Move it.
Move it, come on!

They're getting close.
Lock those doors.

What's the password?

What password?

Everyone out this way, go.

- Come on, let's go. I got it.
- Go.

Go. Go now.

Get him back in.
Get him back in here.

Protect these doors at all costs.

Let nobody in this room,
you understand?

We're alone.
Now make sure he's dead.

We're alone.
Now make sure he's dead.

Don't you die on me.

Okay. Okay.

You can do this.

An unknown number of terrorists

have attacked the hospital where
President Kincaid is undergoing surgery.

Sounds to me like
it's going down.

It's all part of a diversion
to get the bone marrow.

The status of the
President is not yet known,

but we are hearing reports that the
attack occurred on the same floor

as the President's operating room

and that biochemical
agents may be involved.

There has been no direct
contact with the President's

security detail since
the shooting started.

So, can I go now?

Your wife and daughter are safe.

We're not finished.

I hold no grudge about the
back and forth between us.

You have no reason to
hold a grudge against me.

Except for the fact that you
planned to eliminate me all along.

That is not true.

Really?

Then why did you pay
her to plant bombs

underneath our vehicles?

Tell me that.

I switched sides.
I'm sorry.

You picked the wrong side.

We're not going to spend
the rest of our lives,

looking over our shoulders.

I'm afraid you've left me
with no choice, Colonel.

- Hello.
- I just heard the news on the radio,

from the hospital.
Is this all part of your plan?

Is the President going
to die because of me?

No.

I don't believe you.

That's not going to happen.

Promise me.

I want to hear you say it.

Promise me that
nobody else dies by your hand.

I promise.

Can't see a thing...

Gotcha.

You don't have to do this.

There is an alternative.

We make a video tape.

Together.

A statement that explains
what we have done,

and implicates both of us.

If anything happens to either
one of us, release the tape.

You can't trust him.

We don't need to trust each other.
That's the point.

The tape is the guarantee

that neither one of us will ever
speak or come after the other one.

There's been enough killing.

Get him out of here
and let's do this.

All right, move.

Move out of the way.

It's clear!

Blue team, cover that room.

Entry team,
get this room open!

Check the President.

The President is stable.

You saved him.

Air is clear.
No sign of biochem agents.

Must've been a faulty sensor.
Turn the power back on.

Sir.

Let me get you.

What happened to Agent Logan?

Oh, he just passed out.
Must've been the smoke.

Agent Logan, the President's safe.
He's gonna be fine.

Come on, sir.
Let's get you checked out.

- Is he all right?
- He's stable.

Dr. Sanders,
I want to thank you.

What you did today
was nothing short of heroic.

We are just getting
reports that President Kincaid

has survived the attack
on the hospital.

He was barricaded in the
operating room during the siege.

- And President Kincaid is expected...
- Shut it off.

All we want is our lives back.

Duncan agreed to set you free.

That was the deal
he made with Ellen? Was it?

Yeah.

Start the car.
We're going for a ride.

Dr. Sanders?
Dr. Sanders, wait.

The First Lady
wanted you to have this.

As a token of her gratitude.

I have it. I have the bone marrow.
I'm taking it to Nina now.

I can't believe
you pulled it off, Ellen.

Thank you. It's over now.

I'll meet you at Burton's.

It'll be over for me
when I'm with my kids.

Soon.

Let's just talk about this.

Stop here.

Get down on your knees.

Close your eyes.

- Why are you doing this?
- Do as you're told!

Hey, it's me.

I caught Brian and Morgan
trying to escape.

Gonna bring 'em by the house,
finish this.

- This It Archer, leave a message.
- Archer, hey.

It's me, Duncan. Listen to me.
Don't do anything to the family

until I get there, you hear me?
Wait for me. I'm on my way.

Archer.

- Archer!
- Hey, D.

Where are Brian and Morgan?

Where's my money?

Things didn't go as planned.

Really? I thought
this was your plan.

- What are you talking about? No.
- Lie to an old friend,

recruit him for a payday
you never intend to collect.

- Then hang him out to dry.
- It's not like that.

I...

I never meant for things
to go down this way.

I planned to go through
with it to the very end,

but when Ellen refused,
I had to make a choice.

And you chose to betray me.

I'll make it up to you.

I swear.

You should've told me the truth, D.

I'm sorry.

All I ever gave you
was my loyalty.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Sanders.

Ellen.

- Is that it?
- Yeah.

So just bring it to the hospital
and give it to your doctors,

and when they test it, they'll
find it's a near-perfect match.

You can beat this disease, Nina.

I owe you an apology.

What my husband did to you
and to your family.

You don't owe me an apology.

You didn't ask for any of this.

What he did was wrong.

And I don't know
if I can accept this.

You need to do
what's right for you.

Duncan.

What happened?
Are you all right?

Where are Nina and Sawyer?

Upstairs. Listen,
we don't have much time.

Here's some cash
and a new passport.

You should get out
of the country tonight.

- Burton, I'm not running.
- What?

Give us a minute.

Oh, my God.
You need to see a doctor.

I am.

How bad is it?

You'll survive.

Blair is dead.

I don't think anybody's
going to be looking for you.

So...

- This is it.
- Yeah.

This is it.

We made it.

No, you made it.

That's the difference between us.

You got through this entire thing
without ever losing yourself.

I wish I could say the same.

Goodbye, Ellen.

How're you feeling, Paul?

A little weak,
but happy to be alive.

We'll see about that.

- Nina...
- Don't.

Please, Duncan. Just don't.

I'm so sorry. I really...

There is no justification
for what you did.

I understand.

But I'm going back to the hospital
tomorrow with the bone marrow.

I want to live.

- Thank you.
- I'm not doing it for you.

I'm not even doing it for me.

I just couldn't face
the idea of telling Sawyer

that you weren't coming home.

I couldn't do it.

She thinks you walk on water.

What am I supposed
to tell her, Duncan?

The truth.

I love you.

- Daddy!
- Hey, sweetheart.

What happened to your eye?

Oh, it's nothing. Just...
Just got into a little accident.

I want to tell you something.

- Daddy has to go away.
- For how long?

It might be a while.

But what about my birthday?

You have to be back
for my birthday.

Hey. I already got you a present.

It's Mommy coming back.

Thank you, Daddy.

I love you.

I love you, too.

More than anything.

Dr. Sanders told me what happened
with you and Kate Renner.

Kate Renner?

How could she know about...
It was decades ago.

Burton Delaney.

- Mary, you couldn't possibly believe...
- Oh, but I do.

Suddenly, it's all clear to me.

Your cheating, your ambition...

I thought you had limits,
but I was wrong.

You had Peter killed, didn't you?

My own brother.

Who put that idea in your head?

I did.

I've defended you for too long.

But not anymore.

You're going to have to
pay for your crimes, Paul.

Hey.

You going somewhere?

What are you doing here?

Could I catch a ride?

You don't even
know where I'm going.

Where are you going?

I'm going to see my son.

Then I guess I'll keep moving
after that.

Works for me.

You're a good person, Kramer.

A lot better than me.

I'm not sure we belong together.

Well, there's only one way
to find out.

- You're crazy, you know that?
- Yeah.

- We should both go in.
- No.

This is on me.

Besides, I need you
to look after Nina and Sawyer.

- She won't forgive me.
- She will.

In time.

- But even if she doesn't...
- It's still my job to look after them.

I know.

What are you doing back here?
I thought you were gone.

Archer left us at a warehouse and we
hitched a ride to the nearest bus station.

Oh!

We couldn't leave without you.

We wanted to go as a family.

I don't expect anything.

Me either.

Sounds like a plan.

My name is Duncan Carlisle.
I'm here to surrender.
