Persons Unknown (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Shadows in the Cave - full transcript

Free at last. Those who escaped try to return to their outside lives.

You do anything to hurt janet,
on "persoi will kill you!

It's not an obsession. It's
- love?

Hey, guys! We got to take
a look at this.

Something's wrong.
Body bags.

I am not dying this time!

Aah!

We know you have
my ex-wife!

Sir, you're gonna have
to stop that right now.

If not,
I'm gonna call security.

So joe's right. We're gonna
die. You kill each other.

And all the time we think that
we're making the decisions.



The illusion
of free will.

But free will
doesn't exist here.

I want to know
where janet cooper is!

Each of us,
turning against each other,

Doing whatever it takes

To be the one
who survives.

You do what they want.

Tried my best,
madam director.

I think it worked.

I think they believed
what they saw.

Graham.

Do you even know
where you're going?

No.

Do you want to know?



You're just in my head,
joe.

You don't know where I'm going
any better than I do.

guess that's true.

But we both know
where you've been.

that's for damn sure.

Unh!

Hey.

So, I just finished doing
all the bedroom stuff.

You know,
you have a lot of socks.

Yeah.

What's wrong, mark?

Oh,
more rejection notices.

64 in 6 months.

Must be
some kind of record.

Well, you just got to
keep trying.

So you keep saying.

God.

I think I need
a change of venue.

Two years writing a novel
that no one's gonna read.

It's...

It's not good
for anyone's health.

Well, so take a break.
You should.

Think so?

Yeah, absolutely.

I've, uh...

I got an idea.

Yeah?

It's a pretty crazy idea.

So,
typical mark cooper.

I went down to the marina
this morning.

I spoke to a guy who's desperate
to sell his sailboat.

36-footer.

What?

No, I-I'm thinking that if I -
you know, I sell my car

And pretty much
everything else I own,

We can afford it.

Well, I didn't know
you knew how to sail.

I don't.

He's gonna throw in
some free sailing lessons.

Well...
That sounds adventurous.

So, what do you say?

I think there might just be
one small problem.

Okay.

I'm pregnant, mark.

Pregnant.

Yeah, I was gonna
tell you - no, just -

When?

How?
How?

We never talked
about this, janet.

I know that. No, we
never talked about this!

I know that, but I thought
that you'd be happy about it.

Well, you thought wrong.

Dead wrong!

Woman on p.A.:
Orderly to surgery room 5.

Orderly to surgery room 5.

Miss cooper,
you're up early.

Where am I? You're safe.
Let's go back to your room.

No, no. I-I need to -
I need to see my daughter.

Yes,
you'll see your daughter.

We'll see about your daughter
when you get back to your room.

No, no. Let me -
I - don't -

Nurse!

We need to get back to your
room, miss cooper, really.

You're hurting me. Miss cooper,
it's all right. You're safe now.

Where am I? Siker
memorial, san francisco.

I'm dr. Lemchen.

We found you wandering
highway 101

Near half moon bay
four days ago.

There you go.
No, no!

I want to go home!
I want to see my daughter!

Dr. Lemchen: You will see her.
I promise you.

We have to make sure
that you are all right.

You're one of them,
aren't you?

You're part
of the program.

Nurse:
Right down here.

No, no!

Get the restraints,
please.

Help me!

Megan!

Miss cooper,
I'm detective gomez,

San francisco p.D.

You have no idea
how glad I am to see you.

Really?
Really.

I've been looking for you
for quite a while.

Well,
that's good to hear.

I know
you've been through a lot,

But I was hoping you'd feel
up to answering a few questions.

Not until I have
a few of my own answered.

Where is my daughter,
and when can I see her?

As soon as you're up to it,
I promise you'll see megan.

Believe me, I want that
to be sooner than later.

Dr. Lemchen here
tells me you claim

You've been held all this time
in a town of some kind?

Yes.

But you don't know where. No.

Did you ever see
any of your captors?

No.

Not specifically.

But you couldn't escape.

Well,
the town was, uh -

Was surrounded
by some kind of a device.

We called it
the pain wall.

"we"?

There were others?

Yeah.
We managed to escape,

And then there was
some kind of accident,

And, uh, the next thing I know,
I- I woke up here.

Has mark cooper had
any contact with you?

My ex-husband?
No.

So you don't believe he was
responsible for your disappearance?

I haven't seen
mark cooper

Since he took off
in the middle of the night,

Abandoning me
and my daughter.

We're trying
to track him down now.

But y- no.
You're not listening to me.

You are wasting your time
looking for mark cooper.

You need to figure out
who kidnapped me.

There were other people -
joe tucker, bill blackham,

Charlie morse,
moira dougherty,

Graham mcnair,
teresa randolph...

Tori fairchild.

You need to find them.

No. What's she doing?
What's she doing?!

Detective, I think miss cooper's
had enough for today.

You need to find them.

You need to find out
what happened to them.

Well, we'll talk more
when you're feeling better.

Find the town,
you find the program.

Find the town...

I can't do this.
I can't.

You don't have a choice,
moira.

Yeah, but to what end?
What's the point?

Freedom.
Freedom?

I'm not letting anyone
lock me up again, all right?

I'd rather die first.

So we do whatever we can
to stay free. Agreed?

Yeah.
All right.

Let's find someplace
to sleep.

And keep up.

Stop, stop, stop!
Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

Come on!

Hey, maybe we
should've stopped.

We can't take any chances,
bill.

There's no one
we can trust.

I suppose.

Besides,
it's just a matter of time

Before the owners
of this vehicle

Realize it's been stolen.

How long did the tow-truck guy
say that he'd be?

About an hour.

Renbe.

Seriously?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I- I'll get there
as soon as I can.

That was detective gomez.

They found janet.

They did?

Yeah.
Wandering on highway 1.

She's at siker memorial
in san francisco.

Alive?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah.

Dr. Lemchen:
Hello, janet.

There's someone here
I want you to meet.

Dr. Andrea adams.

Hello, miss cooper.

I was hoping to ask you
some questions

About that town
you were in.

Janet's been through
a severe trauma,

Resulting in
some serious delusions.

Well, she's not
the only person

Who told me about this town
and people kidnapped.

Her own ex-husband told me
the exact same story

Before we found her.

Well, if the ex-husband
had a hand in her kidnapping,

It would not be unusual

For her to accept
the kidnapper's scenario.

Once accepted,

She would go to any lengths
to maintain the delusion.

Hopefully, eventually,
she will see

That this town delusion
is simply that - a delusion.

In the meantime,
she needs to be in a facility

Where she's not a danger
to herself or others.

I would not reunite her
with her daughter

Until we can confirm
her mental status.

I agree.

It's not a prudent
course of action.

I can get
the paperwork started.

Oh, man.
We should've never left.

What do you mean,
the town? Yeah.

I mean, at least we had something
to eat, a place to sleep.

But you've conveniently
forgotten the part

Where they were
going to kill us.

you know what?

I'm not completely sure that
that's true.

You remember ulrich's head
exploding like a pumpkin?

Yeah. I guess.

Trust me, bill -

If this experience
has taught me anything,

It's that I am willing to do
whatever it takes to survive.

What, like anything?

Yeah. Anything.

Nurse:
Here we go, miss cooper.

What are these for?

They'll help you sleep.

And if I refuse
to take them?

I'll have to ask
one of the orderlies

To help me
help you take them.

Come on, now, miss cooper.
It's for your own good.

Thatagirl.

I'll come and check on you
in a little while.

Kat: What's going on
with you?

I, um...

I just can't believe
it's all over.

Is it?

Oh, yeah.

Then why are we going
to the hospital to visit janet?

'cause I have to know
she's okay.

I need to know.
That's it.

And, uh,
to tell her -

Tell her that I'm sorry...
For everything...

And hope for some kind
of forgiveness.

You do realize that there's an
excellent chance that she won't.

You know, forgive you.

I mean, I wouldn't.
I know.

I mean, we're basically
at rock bottom, mark.

We don't have jobs or money
or a place to live, and...

It's kind of like
starting at square one.

I am...

I am really sorry
for all this, kat.

I really am.

I'm not.

Unh!

Ugh!

Ugh!

Woman on p.A.: Nurses'
supervisor, call the operator.

Woman: I'm sorry,
but there's no one by that name

Registered
at this hospital.

No, no, no.
That's impossible.

Robert gomez
told me specifically

That janet cooper
was here.

And you are...?

Mark cooper.

I'll try again.
Thank you.

Something about this
isn't right.

You think?

Mark.

Run. Go.

Go!

Renbe!

Renbe!

Elevator.

Dr. Lewis, e.R., stat.

Admissions,
please call nurse's station.

Up there!

Out of the way!
Move!

Whoa.

I see him!

Man: Right there!

Gomez: Move, move!

Janet?!

Mark?

Aah!

Janet!

Mark!

Tell me more about the people
in this town, janet.

There's not much more to tell.

So,
you were the only person

Who survived the van crash
after you all escaped?

I'm - I'm not sure.

Because you don't remember
how you got here.

No.

But you all escaped
from this town.

No, not all of us.

Oh, that's right.

There was one.

Joe.

Yeah.

He sacrificed himself
to save the rest of us.

How did you feel
about leaving him behind?

Sick to my stomach.

That must have been
very difficult for you.

You had some feelings
for joe.

Yeah. I guess I did.

And you know what?

I think I'll always love him
for what he did for us...

What he did for me.

So, as you can see,

Janet is alive
and unharmed...

Just as I promised.

But not free.

I suppose not, no.

What will happen to her?

Well, that's up to you,
dear, isn't it?

Threatening me or her

Won't get you
the information you need.

Well, of course,
we have other methods.

Well, go ahead.

Try to extract it
out of me.

But no amount of time
in that white room of yours...

Will get you anywhere.

They didn't tell me
anything.

And I wanted it
that way.

You'll never get to her,
you know.

You'll never be able
to control her, ever.

This one you won't win,
madam director.

Trust me on that.

Not now, neil.

We have a problem,
madam director.

Three people
don't just disappear

In the middle of the night!

I want an a.P.B. Put out,
pronto, wide net.

I'm not interested in excuses!

Damn!

Get in here.

Your mother's worried sick
about you.

It's okay.

My baby.

Mommy?

Is this a dream?

No.

I'm right here.

I'm right here, baby.

Go back to sleep.

It's okay.

Please forgive me

For convening this emergency
meeting at this late hour,

But we have a situation.

Yes,
we most certainly do.

I wasn't aware
that you were attending.

The events
of the past few weeks

Have been
of grave concern to me.

And to me, as well.

But I believe we have an
extraordinary scenario unfolding

That demands
extraordinary measures.

This scenario of yours

Has exposed this institute
to unnecessary risk.

I am aware
that there have been

Certain unexpected
and unplanned-for events.

With all due respect,
madam director,

That may be the understatement
of the century.

Can we call a spade
a spade here?

You've messed up,
madam director -

Gone beyond the purview
of your directive.

And I think I speak
for all of us here

When I say
that we're not 100% certain

That we are prepared
to continue supporting

This three-ring circus.

Fine.

I will take
full responsibility.

You are welcome to relieve me
of my duties

If you feel so compelled,

But right now,
right this minute,

We may be letting
the most important participant

Slip through our fingers

If we do not take
immediate action.

So you say.

So I say, yes.

For 25 years,

I have successfully
guided this institute,

Which has reached a level

My predecessors
could only have imagined.

I will not have
my judgment questioned.

Well, then...

Proceed.

Eleanor:
The most important thing...

Is that you're all right.

I know you think that I'm crazy,
but I'm not.

Sweetheart, I think
you've been through a lot,

More than any one person

Should ever have to go through
in their life.

Oh.

Poor baby.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm just -
I'm just so tired.

And I don't want to
lose her again. Shh.

And I don't know
what to do anymore.

It's okay.

We will figure
all this out.

We will.
We'll figure it out together.

Yes?

Director: Hello, elly.
Do you know who this is?

You can't have her,
helen.

Now, now, is that any way
to talk to an old friend?

I won't let you take her.

I've just gotten her back,
and I won't give her up.

Elly.

Elly, come on, now.

You must know
in your heart

This isn't about me
or you or even janet.

We made a commitment
long ago.

You must remember.

Samuel will drive you
to the border. Trust him.

He knows what to do.

Everything
that you've said,

Everything that you know
is true.

How do you know this?

There's no time
to explain.

I had hoped and prayed
that this day would never come,

But it has.

You must leave...Now.

All right?
Okay.

Okay.

no!

Hey!

Hey!

You bastards!

You can't
just leave me here!

Man: They can.

And they will.

I'm - I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that -
that you're here.

Ambassador fairchild?

Miss damatto.

Director: Sergeant, you must
believe me when I say

That this is not my favorite
method of persuasion.

Aaaah!

We have a serious situation
here, graham.

Several of our guests
have disappeared from sight -

Your friends.

I feel responsible
for their safety and well-being.

I don't know anything.

You suppose you believe that
you are helping your friends

When, in fact, you are doing
the exact opposite.

I appreciate your compassion,
sergeant.

I even admire it.

Unfortunately, it has no place
in this endeavor,

Which is why I am afraid
this procedure is necessary.

Charlie:
You know what I know?

Bill: What's that?

I'm not the same man I was
when I woke up in that town.

I've changed in ways...

I never thought possible.

You've changed, too.

Um...

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I have.

We're lucky, you and I.

We get a second chance.

Now we're free.

We probably can't ever go back
to the lives we had,

But, personally,
I don't want to.

I'm ready for a change.

Well, yeah, yeah.

I guess I am, too.

Oh, yeah, I guess we should
probably get some sleep.

You miss charlotte?

Yeah. I sure do.

How did you know my wife's name
was charlotte?

Uh, you told me.

No, I didn't.

So you've been working
for my mother this whole time?

Something like that.

Not for them.

No.

She tried to protect you
from them.

I did, too.

I never thought
that they'd get you.

I'm sorry that happened.

I let her down,

Then I - I let you down.

You know, I know this is hard
for you to believe, janet,

But she loves you.

She always has,
and she always will.

You should try
to get some sleep.

We have to leave
before daybreak.

I don't think I can.

You try.

Okay?

I'm gonna be
right outside the door.

No worries.

Okay.

I love you, mommy.

I love you, too, baby.

Well, I'd like you to come up
to san francisco.

Meet my daughter, megan.

Would you
want to do that?

Yeah.

What's she like?

Megan's 5 going on 40.

On the outside,
she's a pretty little girl

And secretly
a little demon

Who gets older kids
to do her dirty work for her.

A girl
after my own heart.

Bet that's what
you were like as a boy.

The boy scout from hell.

mommy?
Unh!

Megan!

What happened, mommy?
Why are you crying?

Mommy?

How could you?

You're running out of ideas.

Where am I?

I don't know.

I just woke up
five minutes ago.

My name's joe.

I know who you are...

Father.

I'm sorry?

I know who you are.

And I want to know
what you've done with my wife.

Janet cooper.

Listen to me!
In your bible, there's a key.

It's next to your bed.

Look in the bible!
There's a key!

There's a key
in the bible

In the dresser
next to the bed!

Do you hear me?

There's a key in the bible
next to the bed in the dresser!

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you all slept well.

I'm victoria,
the hotel manager,

And if there's
anything I can do

To make your stay
more comfortable,

I hope you'll let me know.

Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to level 2.
