Persons Unknown (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Saved - full transcript

Previously
on "Persons Unknown".

I don't see it.
Right there.

You knew the cameras were here.

I'm no longer one of them,
Janet.

Did they share videos of me
screaming my daughter's name?

This photo must have
been taken after that.

She may be alive.
Where did you get this?

The ambassador's safe.

You think they're
gonna watch passively

while you piss
all over the program?

I'm willing to take that risk.



We take Joe hostage.

Joe is not the enemy. That's
because you're in love with him.

I'm not in love with him!

Whose side are you on,
bright eyes...

his or ours?

Your ex-wife and my daughter
were taken

by a very powerful
organization.

Whoever gets tangled up
with them,

their life will never be
the same.

He has photos of Megan.

We found a rat in your hotel.

Now, you know
this is not necessary.

One person
has made it out alive.

Where can we find her?
South America.



You'll leave Rome now.
Take this.

Aah!

Aah!

What did you do?!

Aah!

What do you want to do, Janet?

I want to get out of here.

We might be able to escape.

[ Water running ]

Joe?

[ Echoing ]
I'm dreaming, aren't I?

I must be.

I mean, you're dead.

[ Echoing ] I know I am,
but what are you?

Come on, Joe. What happened
to your sense of humor?

Tell me the truth, Tom, please.

Are we both dead?

I am dead, my friend.

But you...
you're being saved.

No.

No.

No-o-o-o-o!!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Tori:
Good morning, Joe.

I'll bet you're wondering
why you're here, aren't you?

Well, seems things
have gotten a bit...

Off-track,

out of control.

I'm afraid we're gonna have to
fix that problem.

A slight adjustment.

Nothing more.

[ Electricity crackles ]

But I guess I should
warn you...

this is going to hurt.

[ Groans ]

[ Whirring ]

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

[ glass shattering ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

It's time to stop, Janet.

I need to know!

It's not gonna bring him back.

Just let me go!

Not until you stop!
Stop.

[ Breathing heavily ]

He was here.

I... he...
he was alive.

I...

I...

Where did they take you?

[ Indistinct whispering ]

[ Groaning ]

What is this?

Formal re-education.

[ Sighs ]

Option one...
you come back to the program.

Option two...

your body
can't take the re-education.

And...

[ Groans ]
Is there even an option three?

You stay here
until you're re-educated.

As long as you're an asset.

Until we decide otherwise,

you know you can never leave
the program.

No one ever leaves the program.

Ah.
Aah! Aah!

Meet your new family.

Seven again?

You know, why not eight?

Or six?

Mathematics,
analysis of variance.

Program's gotten us down to
a statistical certainty.

Seven works.
Six or eight doesn't.

Good to see you again, sir.

Home sweet home.

You remember?

How could I forget?

This is the room
where I was reborn.

Ask me what your greatest
obstacle will be this go-around.

My mind, obviously.

No.

Your heart.

Come back, Joe.

Is Janet really worth

throwing away everything
you believe in, Joe?

Have you ever thought about
the harm you might cause her,

the harm you've already caused?

You need to help us understand,
Joe.

Why her?

Why now?

Is there something we missed?

Something
that wasn't made clear?

Something that made you
turn against us

in such an aggressive manner?

Renbe: Is it just me,
or does this place

look more like
a 19th-century gulag

than the offices of a well-known
humanitarian and surgeon?

You know, normally I'd argue
with you just for the fun of it,

but I am beginning to wonder.

Mr. Renbe?

I am Raul Samper,
the hospital's administrator.

You speak English.
Great.

Not so great.

I am afraid the hospital

turned down your request
to interview miss Barragan.

May I ask why?

Protocol.

Protocol.
It's your protocol

that we can't interview
a physician?

Physician?

Angela Barragan
is a patient here.

You did know that?

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

That's... that's why we
want to interview her.

Angela Barragan has been
living here for 25 years.

She's categorized
as criminally insane.

She's a danger
to herself and others.

I am sorry.
I cannot help you.

No, no, wait, wait.
I- I was wondering, uh...

Does Angela Barragan
ever tell people

that she escaped something
called "the program"?

It's a multinational
corporation.

Corporation that locked her up
here because she knows too much.

Please.

Dr. Barragan
was a peace corps worker...

Who poisoned
the town's water supply.

She handed out paper cups

and told mothers
and their babies

God wanted them to drink.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Look, I-I know you've got
your protocol,

but is there any way you can
maybe, you know, like, uh...

Bend the rules?

It's important we talk to her.

How important?

[ Electronic whirring ]

I'll see what I can do.

Kat: Uh, he wants to know
how long we're gonna be.

Tell him we don't know.

Senior, no se.

Pero una hora, mas o menos.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

What?

He said that [Clears throat]

She has to wear
a straightjacket

because she likes to
throw feces at people.

You go first.

[ Insects buzzing ]

Ugh.

Oof.

Ugh.

Show me your scars.

Um...

I don't think I have any.

Everyone has scars.
I'll bet she does.

Ugh.

Angela, my name is Mark Renbe.

I was wondering if I could
ask you a few questions.

Questions. Questions.

Angela Barragan.

Female.

59. Single. Aquarius.

Lactose intolerant,

although that doesn't stop them

from putting cheese in my food
three times a week.

Did I answer your question yet?

No.
The question isn't about you.

We're looking for this woman.

We were told
you may know where she is.

She was taken by the same
people who took you.

Do you like sweets?

Sweets? Uh...

Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.

They don't serve them
to the patients.

No sugar ever.

There's a shop...

Near the Plaza de Las Flores.

I used to buy churros
for the children there.

I want one of those churros.

I know.

Write it down.

Avenida del Pilar, 211.

[ Chuckles ]

We got it.

We'll do that tomorrow.

Right now, I want you to tell
me about this organization.

You called it "the program,"
and you escaped from them.

I don't know what you're
talking about, Mark Renbe.

But I was told...
Kat: We got it.

One churro, fresh.

Estamos listos.

What are you doing?

She wants a churro,
I have plenty of scars,

and that room smells
like death warmed over.

I had more questions.

Take a hint...
whether it's because of

that closed-circuit camera
or something else,

that woman,
until she gets that churro,

she's as good as mute.

Charlie: Damn it.

You dead yet?

[ Chuckles ]

Kidding.

You know how Joe said that we
were all selected to be here

because of our potential?

Yeah.

So?

Well, that can't be true.

I mean,
what potential do you have?

[ Scoffs ]

Doughnut hole.

Bite me.

Ah, there you go again

proving me right
with all that witty repartee.

You can't think of a retort,
can you?

[ Sighs ]

Aw, come on.

You're not even gonna try?!

Come on, Mr. Blackham!

[ Door opens ]

They may have eliminated him.

You know, you haven't spoken to
me since before Joe disappeared.

Well, I don't know what to say.

So, it does bother you...

what I did...

Killing that man in Iraq?

Graham.

Look, it's...

It's a lot to take in.

Do you think it was easy for me
to tell you about my past?

I haven't told anybody
about what happened.

You were the only person

I thought saw me
for who I am on the inside.

Would you have told me
if it wasn't for your dossier?

I could have lied to you...

Denied what happened,

and you probably
would have believed me.

I know
you would have believed me.

I told you because
I wanted you to know who I am...

everything I am.

I'm ashamed of what I did,
but I did it.

I'm not gonna run away
from that anymore.

[ Door opens and closes ]

I trusted you.

[ Sighs ]

Tori:
Come back to us, Joe.

We need you.

The program needs you.

The world needs you.

The way out is the way through,
remember?

[ Shouting ]

Think of what you're giving up.

Janet.

Think of those
who are depending on you...

Is that you?

...All of them lost because
of your selfish actions.

Joe.

How can you let her
stand in the way

of all the things
you hold dear?

I love you.

This is not going to end well,
Joe.

Wait for me.

Joe, you know you can't
go back like this.

You have to accept.

[ Door closes ]

Hello, Joe.

Who are you again?

You don't remember?

Maybe I do.

But right now, I need to
hear you say it out loud.

I'm Tori fairchild.

Tori.

You thought I was dead,
didn't you?

Maybe you are...

And I'm just supposed to
remember you.

Why are you supposed to
remember me?

So you can give me
the program's instructions.

Mm.

Good.

I think you've been
through this before.

You know you can never leave
the program.

No one ever leaves the program.

Tom: Come on. If we don't hurry,
we're gonna be late.

Let me guess...
I'm meeting someone.

Only a small percentage
of subjects

show the potential
you've exhibited.

Do you understand that, Joe?

I have been waiting
for this moment

for a long time, father Tucker.

It's just "joe" now.

This is the director, Joe.

She requested this meeting.

Because you, Joe,
are the future of the program.

I feel that we need you more
than any candidate in years.

I see so much potential
in you, Joe.

Tell me...

...Are you the ultimate
team player?

I am.

You are the future.

Renbe: This is it...
Avenida del Pilar.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

I'll go and check it out.

Kat: You're not gonna
believe this,

but the owner of that shop

said they've been in business
for 40 years.

This is the guy in the picture
with Janet.

Angela didn't want us
to find a churro after all.

Father Joe was a pastor
here in San Nicasio

for five years...

Before he disappeared.

Kat: You were here
when it happened?

Not when he was taken.

All I know about it
is what the locals tell me.

Government agents
took him from this church.

They felt
he was aiding the rebels.

Was he?

I don't think so.

Someone gave me this.

Father Luis,
these aren't government agents.

My God...
blue-coverall guys.

Where did you get this?

So you agree it is Joe Tucker.

Yes, yes.

Is he alive?

No. And I don't know
these women.

But I can guarantee you the man
in this picture is father Joe.

Father Joe, alive.

This truly is a miracle.

[ Sighs ]

Mmm.

Ahh.

[ Groans ]

Ahh.

Unfiltered.

Hey, just so you know...

I don't care
if this is a plant or not.

Thanks for reading my mind.

Mm.

Oh.

Mm.

Hey.

Join me?

Can't.

Busy.

[ Scoffs ] Busy?

Well, one thing's for sure...
there is no "busy" here.

Maybe I don't want to.

Wha...

it's... it's me.

You can relax.

You know, Blackham,

for about half a burp,

I thought you might be useful.

You wanted to expose Joe.
So did I.

But, you know,
now that Joe is gone,

you really have no value to me.

You're kind of like a boil
on my ass that won't get lanced.

[ Scoffs, chuckles ]

Okay.

Think about it.

If you died, would anybody here
give a rat's ass?

[ Electronic whirring ]

Yeah, well...

You can go to hell.

[ Joe groaning ]

You're back.

We missed you.

You're a nurse now.

I am what they need me to be.

My father was right about this.

Your father recruited you?

I believe he did.

The program has given me
a purpose.

I have a vocation.

[ Scoffs ] Vocation.

I had a vocation once!

The program
took that away from me!

You hear me?!

I had a vocation!

Hundreds of people
depended on me!

This from the man who now wants
Janet more than anything?

How strong was your commitment
to the church

in the first place?

[ Children laughing, shouting ]

Joe: Who are you?
Man: Joe, it's me.

Nobody needs you
to shoot me, Joe.

What's going on?

It's me, Joe.
Put the gun away!

You know who I am, Joe.

Is this what you want?!

Put the gun down, Joe, please!

You want me to kill him?!

Joe, you are a man of God!

[ Gunshots ] Aah!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Who are you?

Your mentor.

You're ready to continue.

Continue what?

[ Electricity crackles ]

You don't have my churros.

'Cause we know that's not
what you sent us to find.

My ex-wife was taken
by men dressed the same way.

So was the daughter
of the U.S. ambassador to Italy.

These men are part
of the program, aren't they?

They kidnapped you,
didn't they?

It never happened.

Angela, if you know something,
please tell us.

My doctors told me
that never happened.

You... you said
I wasn't kidnapped.

You... you said
I only imagined it.

You... you... you told...

you told me I never went
to that town!

You... you told me I-I was never
a part of the seven!

I was never indoctrinated
into the program!

Angela, who are the seven?

Where's the town?

I had a life...

Before the program
took it away from me.

I had a life, and then they
just left me here to rot!

Aah!

Aah!

The town is the program!

Let go!

Help me!
Help me! Help me!

Find the town
and you'll find the program!

Are you all right?

Angela:
Find the town and you'll find...

We got to get her out of here.

She knows where Janet is.

Yeah.

Find the town
and you'll find the program!

[ Water sloshes ]

[ Sighs ] You awake?

[ Electronic whirring ]

Yeah. You're probably
always awake, aren't you?

Are you gonna explain to me
what this is all about?

You know, you stuck me here
with a bunch of crazy misfits

that, personally,
I really couldn't care less

if they all slipped
in their collective bathtubs.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Chuckles ]

Oh.

Look, um...

I think you made a mistake.

I don't have potential.

Just look at my dossier.

I'm a doughnut hole...

Just like Charlie said.

I got nobody at home,
and, um...

Nobody here who...

[ sniffles ]

[ Sobs ]

Look, um...

There's nothing special
about me.

Nothing.

I think you and I
both know that,

so why did you have to take me?

[ Crying ]

I just want to go home, okay?

Please?

Oh, God,
I just want to go home.

[ Door closes ]

[ Scraping ]

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Wait, wait.
What are you doing?

What does it look like?

This is all useless garbage.

All right, you need to stop,
all right?

Why, because this is gonna mean
something?

It won't.

I don't want it
up here anymore.

I do.
Just... just stop it!

Stop.

It doesn't mean anything.

It only meant something when you
thought it was important...

...When you thought
I was important.

[ Scoffs ]
What are you talking about?

I still do.

I still do.

I can't do that.

Can you just go?

[ Sighs ]

Moira, please.

I'm... I'm sorry...

just leave me alone.
Just...Go.

[ Door opens ]
If you only knew.

[ Door closes ]

[ Electronic whirring ]

If you only knew.

What the hell's going on
between you two?

Nothing.

[ Door closes ]

Tori:
Time is running out.

This supposed love
you feel for Janet...

it's going to destroy you.

Can't you see that?

Joe:
I'm not giving her up!

You are the future
of the program.

You hear me?!
Not now, not ever!

Let her go,
or we will have to let you go.

Are you...

Joe:
I'm not giving her up!

Not now, not ever!

We believe in you, Joe.

Why can't you believe in us?

What is your vocation?

You are, Janet.

Aah!

I'm not giving her up!

Not now, not ever!

Aah!

Accept this.

Accept your fate, Joe.
We need you.

Aah!
I needed you.

Every second that I spend here,
my daughter's at risk.

We're begging you
to let us help you.

Aah. Aah!

Listen to us.
Listen to me.

Isn't there anyone
that you want to call?

Ask me again when we're free.

It's going to destroy you.
It's going to...

Aah!

What is this?
You tell me.

What are you doing?

No!

I promise you, we're gonna do
everything we can to get out of here.

What are we gonna do?
We've tried everything.

Please, Joe,
we don't want to lose you.

Thank you.

We don't want to lose you.

We need you
to come back with us.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Groaning ]

Joe: There's got to be
a way out.

There's never a way out, Joe.

The way out is the way through.

You would never say that.

You can never
leave the program.

You know that.

[ Echoing ] You can never leave
the program.

In a couple of weeks, this
should be completely healed.

It's a good thing
I turned when he shot.

Otherwise,
you'd be calling me "peg leg."

[ Chuckles ]

Janet's dossier says she's
exactly what she told us.

She's the mother
of a 6-year-old.

What did you expect to find?

Joe's said that he arrived here
the same day we did,

so you can't believe
what you read in those files.

Janet's not one of them.

I know it.

Blackham's a better candidate
than Janet.

No.

Blackham's too...

Nothing.

Yeah.

Blackham's too nothing.

You got that right.

Moira: There.
How's that feel?

Good. Thank you.

Geez.

[ Grunts ]

Come on!
Geez, come on!

[ Grunting ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Wind blowing ]

No way.

[ Electronic whirring ]

Oh, my God.

[ Panting ]

Where am I going?

Nowhere.

I'm going nowhere.

[ Bells tolling,
indistinct conversations ]

Where is she?!

You want to get me fired?
Things like this happen.

You already compromised
my position here

with the staff by continuing
to ask about this.

The woman was taken
an hour ago.

I do not know
where or by whom.

No one knows
what happened to her.

Believe me...
I've already asked.

Now leave me alone.

Your dinero wasn't worth
the aggravation.

Hey. Hey!

I'm here.

Aren't I?

I didn't go!

[ Electronic whirring ]

Look, that should prove
something to you.

[ Electronic whirring ]

[ Bell tolling,
indistinct conversations ]

Kat, wait.
Where are you going?

To the police.

Angela Barragan disappeared.

If somebody took her,
we're gonna find out who.

The police?
We can't do that.

We're not even supposed to be
in this country.

We can't just let someone
disappear.

I don't care what godforsaken
country that we're in.

Wait, didn't you hear
what I said?

If we can find Angela,
then we can find Janet.

You've got to see that.

I have to go home, Kat.

I need to be a man,
make a life for my daughter.

We are so close, Mark.

I have to believe
that they took Angela

because we are very close
to finding Janet.

You must see that.

And, yes, Megan...
she needs her father.

She needs her mother even more.

Yeah.

We are gonna keep searching
until we find Janet together.

I'm not gonna let you stop
till we find the truth.

For Megan.

For you.

For us.

[ Electronic whirring ]

Tori: We have only
your best interest at heart.

To take away the pain, right?

Don't let them destroy you.

Cuerpo de Cristo.

Don't let them destroy you.
Don't give up, Joe.

To cleanse you of the guilt.

To make up
for your father's sins.

Janet!

Don't move.

[ Indistinct voices ]

Never leave the program, Joe.

No! No!
Never.

Tori:
You must submit.

Don't.
No!

Janet!

Tori:
Can you hear me, Joe?

Janet!

[ Gunshot, flatline ]

He's crashing!

Code blue!

Hey!

[ Gasping ]

Aah!

Don't give up!
Do something! He's dying!

Tori.

Tori, can you hear me?

Tori, I'm right here.
I'm alive.

[ Monitors beeping ]

Am I really dying?

You already thought
you were dead.

Yes.

But I can't leave
like this, Tom.

You want to live, then.

But you also want
out of the program.

[ Beeping continues ]

So if I choose the program,
I can live.

There's no such thing
as free will, Joe.

You've proven that.

You don't choose the program.

The program chooses you.

Always.

[ Mechanical whirring ]

It's time to go, Joe.

[ Indistinct talking ]

[ Wind blowing ]

We won't see each other again.

You don't know that.

Oh, this time I do.

Death is like that...
final.

Goodbye, my friend.

Tori:
Can you hear me, Joe?

Can you hear me?
Joe?
