Intelligence (2014): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Rescue - full transcript

When the daughter of a Senator is abducted from her college dorm, Lillian sends Gabriel and Riley to Arizona to hunt for clues to their whereabouts. Lillian's father, the powerful and secretive Leland Strand, originally brought her footage of the abduction containing the kidnapper's demands.

The two hottest guys ever
walk into that bar,

And they want to
hang out with us.

But, no, someone
has to go back to the dorm.

Yeah, well, excuse me
if I don't want to slut it up.

Excuse me if I do.

Oh, look at those eyes.

He smokes.

So?
So, yuck.

He better call me,
or I'm gonna kill you.

Hmm. Power must be out.

Do you smell cigarette smoke?



Aah!

No. No!

Don't make a sound.

Hopes of securing an extension

Of unemployment benefits
for 1.3 million...

Good morning.

I got to get out of here.
The speaker called.

He wants a quick meet
before committee.

Although
there is still a chance

That the program will resume,

The earliest that congress
will revisit the legislation

Is at the end of next January.

Thank you.

What's that?



No idea.

Thomas, what is this?

Oh, dear god.

Lillian, weatherly's here.

I know.

He's with...
I know who he's with.

Gentlemen.

I cued the video for you.

I'm told you have
a sensitive situation.

Is there any other kind?

Late night.
Kennedy center.

Yo-yo ma.
Saudi royals.

I heard you brought a video.

She's a college student
at the university of Arizona.

The girl on the left
is Mackenzie Bradshaw,

Daughter of Tom Bradshaw,
senior senator from Arizona,

Chairman of the
foreign-relations committee.

The satellite
is the GEO-9

That we're selling
to M?xico, right?

Is counting on it
to provide border security,

If the senate foreign-relations
committee votes "yea."

That vote
is the day after tomorrow.

So, someone is blackmailing
a U.S. senator

To keep the satellite deal
from going through.

Not just any someone...
Hector Villareal.

He's the head of the biggest
drug cartel in M?xico.

He stands to lose
hundreds of millions

If the satellite deal
goes through.

And why target Bradshaw?

Bradshaw chairs the committee.

He can withdraw the proposal.

If you want
the satellite to go away,

Bradshaw's
the one you go after.

So, why bring this to Cybercom?

The senator
didn't bring it to Cybercom.

He didn't bring it to anyone.

The senator and his wife
watched the video together,

And afterwards,
he went to the Capitol building

As if nothing had happened.

They don't know
that you have the video.

Mnh-mnh.

Would you care to explain

Why it is
that you're in possession of it?

No, I wouldn't.

What exactly
is your job these days?

Friend of the court.

Look, this thing
has to be done right, rooster,

Without grandstanding,
without politics.

I'll wait in the hall.

I told you
to never call me that.

I am the director
of U.S. Cyber command,

And you'll afford me
the respect I deserve.

If I didn't respect you,
would I be here?

You are so damn relentless.
Do you know that?

You get that from me, I guess.

Lillian, if it goes public

That the daughter
of a U.S. senator

Was snatched
by a Mexican drug cartel

you've already cleared this with
the president, haven't you?

The president
recommended clockwork.

Lillian,
we have to find these girls.

Okay.

One of our nation's
most decorated soldiers.

He's a hero, and now our
country's most secret weapon.

Gabriel possesses
a rare genetic mutation

That allowed us to implant
a microchip in his brain.

We connected his mind directly
to the information grid.

It's something the chip does
that nobody expected.

I can create a virtual snapshot
of an event in my mind

And then walk through it.

It's like
a virtual evidence wall.

We created a highly
specialized unit around him...

Satellite in five.

And assigned
an agent to protect him.

Run!

He's the first of his kind...

The next evolution
of intelligence.

Hector Villareal is on
the u.N.'s most wanted list

And yet has remained
virtually untouchable.

The new Mexican president

And his relationship
to our president

Is changing that,
and Hector is worried.

Son of a shop owner
in San Miguel de Allende,

Hector sits on
a multi-billion-dollar

High-tech drug empire.

His network uses everything

From mules to submarines
to ship his product.

So, why kidnap the daughter
of a U.S. senator?

In less than 48 hours,
senator Bradshaw's committee

Will vote to recommend the sale

Of the GEO-9 satellite system
to M?xico.

Bradshaw could kill the sale
if he wanted to.

Our military
believes that this satellite

It could cripple
the illegal-narcotics trade.

Apparently, Hector agrees.

If Bradshaw
won't withdraw the proposal,

Can't the president
just postpone the vote?

Better yet, why not
send in a special-forces unit?

Well, the first option
would result in Hector

Killing the girls.

Without knowing
where he's holding them...

And also risks their lives.

Who's sitting
with the senator on this?

FBI?

The senator doesn't even know
that we're on problem.

And their biggest problems
were boys and midterms.

Now it's Hector Villareal.

Now Hector's about to meet
his biggest problem.

Start in Arizona. See what
you can learn at the scene.

Let's find those girls
and show the cartel what happens

When you cross our border
and harm our kids.

On our way.

What's with Big Ben?

Like it?

Accurate to
the hundredth of a second.

Four seconds slow.
I chipped the maritime clock.

Show-off.

Getting nostalgic?

If I knew
I'd have a chip in my brain,

I could have avoided
all that studying.

I'm sure
there was a lot of studying.

3.8 GPA
plus three sports

Didn't leave
a lot of time to eat.

Mm-hmm.

I guess there's always room
for dessert.

It's eerie
being the first on scene.

If the senator reported it,
it would be all over the news.

We've got maybe 24 hours
before their dorm mates

Notice they're missing.

Let's see
if they left something.

Gabriel.

Belongs to Samantha Royce.
I'm in her Instagram account.

Photo taken 15 minutes
before witnesses said

The girls left the bar.

Shows Samantha with a guy.

Can we find out who?

His passport was recorded
by customs this morning

As it crossed the border
into San Jer?nimo, M?xico.

He was driving a truck.

What are the odds

Samantha and Mackenzie
were hidden on that truck?

?Habla ingl?s?

S?, yes.

We're looking for your son...
Carlos.

I haven't seen him
in many days.

Senora reyes,
we're trying to help your son.

Carlos is a good boy.

We don't want to make
any more trouble for you.

What trouble
could you cause more...

More than the trouble
that they can?

Um... This is
my cellphone number.

I want you
to have Carlos call me.

I told you I have not seen him.

Just in case.

If you help us,
we can protect you.

We can give you asylum
in the United States.

Please, I... I would
like you both to leave now.

I got a cell number
off her phone bill.

Can you chip the phone?
I did.

Which means I can't trace it
until they make a call.

We've got eyes on us.

You didn't
touch these girls, right?

No, jefe.

Is he lying to me?

No.

These girls don't need a gag.

Do you?

No.

Good.

Hopefully your father
is as smart as you.

Please help my friend.
She needs water.

You, come with me.
And bring that one.

- Oh, no.
- No.

No. No, take me instead.
No, take me!

No, take me instead!
Take me! I'll go. I...

Hey...

Don't make me sorry
I took the gag out.

Okay, pretty girl?

Okay?

Okay.

Lillian still hasn't made
contact with senator Bradshaw.

Why not?

They've ordered her not to.

Maybe they don't
want the senator to know

His own government's
watching him.

Gabriel.

That's the number
I got off Luisa's phone bill.

That's Carlos.

Answer it.

Hola.

Hello. Hello?

Is anyone there?

Nothing,
but the line's still open.

I've got a cell signal.

He hung up.

It's okay.
I'm in the cell network.

We're 1.3 miles away from
the phone that made that call.

This feels super safe.

Cellphone signal's
coming from inside the trunk.

No. Hang on, Gabriel.

Trunk's open.

I said stay back.

If that cellphone
is connected to an explosive...

Good point.

I have an idea.

What are you doing?

Trunk has
a hydraulic spring-load.

Oh, god.

Hola, Carlos.

They're taunting us.

They must have
talked to Carlos' mother.

They knew
we'd track the cellphone here.

Hector's a cool customer.

Oh, god. Really?

Someone wants to say hello.
I don't want to be rude.

This what you were looking for?

Hector Villareal, I presume?

The senator
violated our agreement.

He wasn't supposed to call
the authorities.

He didn't have to.

You're not as smooth
as you think you are.

Open the laptop.

Don't worry. Open it.

Careful.

Have you heard of
the Mexican jumping bean?

Hector,
you don't want to do this.

What is a Mexican jumping bean?

Pull the pin from the grenade.

When she loses consciousness,
the grenade falls.

You must have spent some time
in Ciudad de M?xico, my friend.

As you can see, this poor girl
is not doing very well.

I give her...
Five minutes longer?

Then you can call her parents

And tell her
you watched her die.

Oh, by the way, tell Obregon

It didn't have to be like this.

Who's Obregon?

I've got a signal
on the laptop.

Lillian,
they're gonna kill Samantha.

I have a lock on the location.

There was something else.

He mentioned someone
named Obregon.

As far as I know,

This is a new name
in all of this, right?

Yes, it is.

Skycom 1. You should be able
to access it right now.

I don't see any bogeys.
Two-room house.

She's in the front room.

Doesn't seem like
anyone's in the back.

I don't like it.

We could stay out here,
and that girl dies.

You're okay. You're okay.

You all right?
Yeah.

I came as soon as I heard.

You got Samantha.
Well done.

What about the Bradshaw girl?

Not yet.

We have less than 30 hours.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

Can Samantha help us at all?

Dad...

Hector mentioned someone
named Obregon.

Any idea who that is?

No.

Well, we did some searching

To see if there was something
in our system...

Operation names,
agents' aliases, et cetera.

And?
Nothing.

But then I got to thinking,

Maybe he was referring to
the famous Obreg?n,

The Mexican president
in the 1920s.

Go on.

Obreg?n and Pancho Villa

Were fierce enemies
during the revolution.

Pancho became a folk hero,

Forcing Obreg?n to make
an uncomfortable peace with him.

But Pancho was paranoid,

Always waiting for Obreg?n's men
to assassinate him.

Paranoid, but correct...

Which goes to prove
what I always told you...

Peace is beautiful, but...
but not to be trusted.

You remember.

I remember everything
you taught me, dad,

Including the story
of the Mexican revolution.

You're Obregon, aren't you?

And Hector is Pancho Villa,
the misunderstood folk hero.

You know each other.

I miss you, kid.

When were you going to tell me

That Hector Villareal
is on the payroll

Of the U.S. Government?

I want all cards
face up right now.

Hector was our "Whitey" Bulger.

The FBI fed Bulger to help them
bring down the mafia.

But he was supposed to operate
within certain parameters,

And Whitey strayed outside
those parameters.

And an FBI agent is sitting
in prison now for that deal.

Hector gave us the names,

All the intel
on his competitors,

People far worse than him.

In return, we laid off him.

Vintage Leland Strand.

Lillian, we seized
thousands of tons of cocaine

Based on Hector's intel.

We brought down some real
monsters crossing the border.

How did you get that video?

Were you surveilling
the senator or Hector?

Well, we knew Hector
was unhappy with the GEO-9.

He had made some threats.

So, prophylactically,
we got the NSA to monitor

All comint into and out of
the committee.

We didn't anticipate
the kidnapping.

That was bold, even for Hector.

You adopted a lion cub,
fed it raw meat,

When it grew up
liking the taste of blood.

What do you want me to do?

He's your asset. Control him.
Lives are at stake.

I know.

Get a leash on your lion, dad.

Hakuna matata.

Senator?

Senator?

Senator?

Um, looking,
uh, at the numbers and...

And what it's gonna take
to support those numbers,

I just don't see
how we're gonna push this thing

Across the finish line.

Are you talking about

Postponing the satellite sale
to M?xico?

Thank you very much.

Tom, we all spent
half a million

On your
re-election campaign

Because you assured us
of this sale.

Sir, your daughter's
on the phone.

Excuse me.

Baby?

Not your baby.

What do you want?

Question for you...

Why are two
U.S. Intelligence officers

In M?xico
looking for your daughter?

I-I-I don't know.

I had nothing
to do with it, though.

Is Mackenzie okay?

You were warned, senator.

You gave me your word.

And if a man
can't trust a politician...

My word is still good.

I didn't have anything
to do with them.

I swear to god
they're not mine.

Men like us
don't believe in god,

Not after
the things we've seen.

I believe there is a god, sir.

You'd better hope
you're right, senator.

If you fail
to honor our agreement...

I cannot guarantee
your daughter's safety.

I just want my daughter back.

I'll stall the legislation.

That the satellite transfer
to M?xico doesn't go through.

We shall see.

How is she?

She's stabilized.

Good.

I don't get it.

How does Lillian's father
fit into all of this?

Not sure.

I saw him
at the white house a lot

When I was
on presidential detail.

I never really knew
what he did.

Imagine growing up
with that guy,

Worried the tooth fairy's
gonna slit your throat.

He did something right.
She's incredibly driven.

Or still seeking his approval.
That stuff's hard to shake.

That's why everyone
in my family

Ended up dying on some
dusty battlefield somewhere.

I'm the fifth Vaughn
to go to war,

First one to survive it.

My old man was a folded flag
on the mantel.

It's some country song
nobody wants to hear.

Is there a country song
anyone wants to hear?

We'll talk about that later.

Samantha.

Where's Mackenzie?

We're gonna find her...
With your help.

About the place
they were holding you?

Even the tiniest detail
might help.

The room was s-small,

And you had to go down
some stairs to get to it.

There were three,
maybe four men.

They had the tv on
all the time.

Do you know
what they were watching?

There was cheering on the tv,
and they would cheer,

But it was in Spanish.

Soccer.
They were watching soccer.

Soccer. That's good.

Anything else?

It s-sounds crazy, but...

Outside,
it sounded like animals.

Animals?

Like a jungle...
lions, elephants.

You've been very helpful.
Get some rest.

Lions and elephants?

I know. Hang on.

I'm chipping
the local cable company,

Isolating subscribers
of the soccer channel.

Wow. Apparently
M?xico loves soccer.

I'm getting thousands of hits.

Is there a zoo or something,
an animal sanctuary?

Not anywhere close.

How are we gonna
find this girl?

Wish I knew.

Bueno.

Hola, Hector.
?qu? tal, jefe?

I had a feeling
I might hear from you.

What do you want, Leland?

I'm calling to give you
some business advice.

Do I look like
I need your advice?

Do you remember when we
played golf with Noriega?

You are comparing me
to that monkey?

Hector,
Noriega was the president

Of an actual nation.

And when he pissed us off,

We sent 25,000 troops in
to arrest him.

The game has changed.

Creo que no.

The only thing
that changed the game

Was you kidnapping
two American girls.

I delivered monsters to you
on a silver platter,

Made you look good,
and what do you do in return?

You put an eye in the sky
to shut down my business.

You broke your word to me,
cabr?n!

That was not me.
It was others, Hector.

And I'm prepared
to make you an offer.

Killing the satellite deal

Is the only offer
I am interested in.

The satellite is going through.

Then we have nothing
to talk about, hermano.

But I'm prepared
to give you the codes.

You have my attention.

You'll have access
to the satellite

At any given time
and the intel it gathers.

The codes for the girl, Hector,

And your word that nothing
like this can ever happen again.

I am not stupid.

I take the deal, you will
simply change the codes.

Take the deal, hermano.

It's the best you're gonna get.

We have a deal.

Deal? What deal?

You're not gonna like it
any more than I do,

But we're getting Mackenzie
out of there.

I'm sending the location
of the drop point

To your navigator.

We're gonna do this.

We're gonna
bring that girl home.

Do you see them?

No, not yet.

I don't like this.
You should be up here.

I should be down there.
We talked about this.

You're a better shot
with that rifle than I am.

And you're following my orders.

Okay, here we go, guys.

We're entering
from the southwest.

Just get the girl,
put her in the car,

Unless he asks me to dance,
in which case

I'm gonna break out
my cha-cha.

Stay focused.

I vote for the cha-cha.

Riley.

Just one of you bring the girl!

S?lo uno!

I have a bad feeling
about this.

S?lo uno!

Riley, take a few steps back.

Wait.
S?lo uno.

Wait.
Where are you going?

S?lo uno.
Wait. Where are you going?

Hey, Gabriel,
at the SUV

Wait! No!

Riley, get out of there!

Lillian.
Riley, pull back now.

Wait.

You're coming with us.

Drop the gun...

Gabriel, do you have a shot? No.

Do you want her to die?!
Riley, go now!

Poner la pistola or I kill her!

Riley, go!

Riley, get out of there!

You want her dead?

I'll kill her!

Riley, pull back now.

I can't.

I can't leave her.

Damn it!

And slow.

No. No!

Gabriel.
I don't have a shot.

No! No!

No!

I'm a federal agent.
We're here to get you home.

Are you okay?

I-I don't understand.

We were double-crossed.

Wait.
They took Samantha.

And I don't know where she is.

No, we have Samantha.
She's safe.

They're gonna kill us.
Mackenzie.

They... they're
gonna kill us.

Mackenzie, look at me.
Look at me.

We have to rely on
each other, okay?

That's how
we're gonna get out of here.

Do you understand?

Mackenzie?
Mackenzie, do you understand?

Okay?

Okay.
We can do this.

Okay.

Consider this a clear message.

I am no longer
taking orders from you.

But I am not an animal.

Take the GEO-9 satellite
off the table,

And I will receive this
as goodwill

Towards our new relationship.

Then you can have
the young ladies back, hmm?

I want an analysis
on that video right away.

These guys are pros.

This is gonna take some time.

Until we find something
we can use.

You don't have to.

I've got enough from that video
to cyber-render.

This is the cyber-render.

I'm in.

I see Riley and Mackenzie.

They've been roughed up, but...

I think they're okay.

The watch.

Watch? What watch?

She had it on in the SUV,

Only she was wearing it
on the other wrist.

It's stopped.

Wouldn't that make sense
in a render?

She stopped it.

23 minutes after the drop.

23 minutes.

She's telling us how long
she drove after the ambush.

The second dial...
she set it at 12:15.

12:15.
That's due east.

She's guiding us right to her.

Okay, I'm in the Mexican
telecable database.

There's a house in the area

That has a recent acquisition

Of an expensive
international sports package.

Let me guess... soccer.

You got it.

I'm bringing up satellite images
on the position.

Got it.
I have a location.

Hang on.
I'm coming to get you.

Elephant burgers.
Found our jungle.

He goes in alone?

I'm in their cams.

Ramon's inside, three guards.

Riley and Mackenzie
must be in the basement.

I'm going to trigger
their security alarm.

There's a storm door,
far end of the house.

It must lead to the basement.

You sure took your time.

Couldn't decide what to wear.
Nice trick with the watch.

You're jealous now, aren't you?

You all right?
Yeah.

Gabriel, right behind you.

It's Hector Villareal.

Gabriel, you're not authorized
to take Hector in.

Stand down and let him go.

What are you talking about?
I've got him in my sights.

What are you talking about?

We have the girl.
Your agent is safe.

Hector Villareal
is not your concern.

There are lots of killers
in the world, Lillian.

Many of them
are at our Washington galas.

Secure the girl
and stand down, Gabriel.

Son of a bitch.

Daddy!

Kenzie.

I'm so sorry.
I never meant for any of this.

We know, baby.

We know.

We are forever grateful.

Today an historic piece
of legislation

Passed in the senate
intelligence committee,

Forging a new chapter
in the cooperation

Between the United States
and the Mexican government

Involving border security.

Senator Tom Bradshaw,
the legislation's sponsor,

Didn't stop to answer...

We should be
taking Hector down.

It's not your call.

If we had to stop
working with murderers

And drug dealers and despots,

We'd never
get anything accomplished.

After all he's done,
you're still protecting him.

You have any idea what it took

To order my agent
to stand down?

For the greater good, Lillian.

According to who?

You know,
when I first got to langley,

The director said to me,

"you think you know
what evil's out there.

You have no idea."

Did he tell you
to get into bed with that evil?

It's not a perfect world.

But we can make it better.

A great man taught me that.

The house is a mess.

What are you talking about?
It's spotless.

Well, it finally
feels like home.

You were worried about me.

No, I wasn't.

If you say so.

Well, you look pretty good

For a girl
who's been through the wringer.

Now, that sounds like
a country song.

Good night, Gabriel.

Hector?

How did you get this number?

I believe you know my father.

You're Lillian,
leland's daughter.

I've heard a lot about you.

You haven't heard everything.

Congratulations.
You won this one.

That's very gracious of you.

However,
this satellite business

Will make peace between us
very difficult.

You should have
taken my father's offer.

You crossed the line, Hector.

Oh, yeah?
What line is that?

The border.

If your government wants
to do business with me,

You'll give me what I want.

Or you can find yourself
another Mexican.

Yes, well, I already have.

What?
What are you talking about?

Everything all right?

Better.

Shall we?

There's no place I'd rather be.
