Quantico (2015–2018): Season 1, Episode 16 - Clue - full transcript

Previously on "Quantico"...

We're on lock-down, ma'am.

There's been an
incident at the guard station.

Call your mom.

My parents are alive.

Look, I-I know.

[Gunshot]

Charlie may have helped
plan the attack today.

It's time you tell
me who Mark Raymond is.

What do you want to know?

We'll say everything that
we need to say to each other



and then never see each other again.

The Voice: In the Senator's
purse is an identical bottle.

You'll need to swap it out.

I tried Natalie's cell. No response.

You were simply telling the truth.

Wow.

That is a lot to process.

Yeah.

The conspiracy goes
back all the way to Quantico.

The terrorist...

We've been calling them the "Voice."

I thought it was someone from our class,

but it could be... it
could be anyone there.

What are you thinking?



About what?

How you lied to a Congressional
committee

when you said that
Elias Harper acted alone?

Or the bomb that was
strapped to Agent Vasquez

to keep you in line.

Or maybe you want my thoughts

on you sneaking Vasquez and
that bomb into our office

to steal classified
Intel from an FBI server.

I mean, I hope there was
nothing important on there

besides, oh, I don't
know, all the security measures

for the upcoming presidential election.

I had no choice.

Ah, yes.

That convenient recurring line

of anyone you say has been forced

to work with this
terrorist since it all began.

Elias Harper, the hacker Duncan Howell,

Natalie... and
how'd it turn out for them?

You yourself just
informed me that this terrorist,

with whom you apparently
share a cellphone plan,

detonated Agent Vasquez,

threatened the life of
everyone you say you care about,

and tasked you into further tricking me

to swap out the prescribed medication

of a United States senator

for something that you believe to be,

but can't be certain, is harmless.

Did I... I leave anything out?

Nuance?

How can you be sure that
these pills aren't dangerous?

Your lab analyzed them.

They're blood pressure medicine.

The only side effect is
elevated body temperature.

And this terrorist said

that if anyone else
learned about what was going on,

their lives would be in danger, too.

And yet you still told Simon and me.

[Laughs] I can't...

I can't figure you out, Parrish.

I mean [chuckles] you have no fear

in having just admitted to
a dozen federal crimes,

not to mention if I look
closely enough, accessory to murder,

and if you're at all to be believed,

you've just willingly
hung a target on my back

to save your own without compunction.

So, if you were me,

would you believe a word you just said?

Hmm?

I don't know, Hannah.

What do you think?

Well, yeah, I believe you. [Scoffs]

And now I'm gonna go brief the Director.

[Norah Jones' "Happy Pills" plays]

Liam: I've been concerned
about Parrish since the attack.

How's she doing in counseling?

She's strong... a survivor.

Built to be an
agent, just like her father.

Drew Perales.

He's the one that
shot the armed assailant.

Taking a life is never easy,

but he doesn't seem
to be affected by it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How was the shrink?

Spent most of the
session talking football.

She's a Lions fan. Can you believe that?

That's all you talked about?

Fletcher! You headed to breakfast?

Yes, but if the ladies
start crowding our table again,

you've got to share the
love. Repeat after me...

"This is Brandon. His
heart was recently broken.

Can you fix it?" [Laughs]

Woman: Shelby Wyatt's a
bit of a question mark.

She was there when
Perales took out the terrorist,

but it doesn't seem to
have made an impact.

♪ See your face again ♪

It's my belief she's
found a way of coping.

♪ How does it feel? ♪

♪ Oh, how does it feel ♪

- ♪ To be you right now, dear? ♪
- [Inhales sharply]

Shelby? Hey. What's up?

Looks like you are.

Now keep quiet or you'll wake Will.

♪ So pick up your piece
and go away from here ♪

Liam: Will Olsen.

He seems uncomfortable with the
outpouring of emotion on campus.

He's burying himself in his work.

Dude, what did I tell you about
studying before 9:00 a.m.?

Why are you reading that?

I already told you
everything that you need to know.

No. You told me how you
created an alter ego to sneak back in

and how you promised them money

in order to rise through
the levels faster

and how you're secretly working
from within to take it all down,

but there is so much more,
like how they kidnap people

and send them to
farms in foreign countries

or how their money comes from
owning the patent to podcasting

or how they believe that
our skin is poisonous.

You think what I'm doing is crazy?

No, I think it's dangerous and cool.

And I'd love to talk about
it for five to seven minutes.

Yeah.

Maybe later.

Liam: The Amin twins.

Man: We've put a pin in that.

They were in direct
contact with the terrorists.

We can't discuss either sister publicly

until OPR's investigation is over.

OPR... Office of
Professional Responsibility.

They're gonna want
statements from you both.

They already know that Raina
was undercover at the cell's house.

They just don't know if
you were there on your own

or under orders from Miranda.

♪ Got to get you out ♪

Man: How's Miranda doing?

She's taking it day-by-day.

OPR's left messages, but she hasn't...

She shot her own son.

Well, she shouldn't have
let it get to that point.

She's in trouble, Liam.

What's your
assessment of the class overall?

It's one thing to tell a
shrink that you're okay.

It's another thing to actually be okay.

Today's exercise will show
me how they're really doing.

Hi.

Did you sleep well?

[Chuckles]

Um, about... last night...

And this morning. It was fun, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, but I just, um, want to make sure

that we talk about everything else.

Do you mean my parents?

There's nothing really to talk about.

It's no different than before.

They were dead to me
then. They're dead to me now.

Shelby, you can't mean that.

There are so many better
ways to spend the next 10 minutes

than discussing my parents.

[Giggles]

I don't know what to do.

It was an off-book operation,
and I'm just a trainee.

If I tell them Miranda was
involved, she'll be fired,

and if I lie, I'll be kicked out.

Not many couples can say

they've both been kicked out of the FBI.

Raina: It's not funny,
and we're not a couple.

I just hate hearing you this upset.

Can I still see you this weekend?

I haven't seen you since New Year's.

I don't know. It's hard to get away.

It wouldn't be if you
told your sister about us.

Simon...

I'll call you later.

We were all reminded of
something last week.

Life can spin out of
control at the drop of a hat.

You guys went through
something harrowing,

and you should be commended.

All of you. Not just Perales.

But here's the thing.

In the field, what you went through,

that's called Monday.

And how you deal with it is the
focus of today's exercise...

crisis management.

As agents, you need to be able

to keep your wits
about you at all times.

You have to be able to
confront the doubts and fears

that live within all of us.

Because if you can't,

you don't stand a
chance against the bad guys.

So gather up your stuff. We're
gonna go on a little trip.

[Sighs] Last time we spoke,

I know things got a little heated,

but I hope I can count on you.

For what?

Well, in the time of
crisis, a group needs a leader,

and you're that leader.

I didn't ask for that.

Yeah, well, a leader never does.

But if you care about your
friends, you'll step up.

They're gonna need you today.

♪ ♪

First round's on you, rich boy.

[Both laugh]

Hannah, stop. If you tell the Director,

someone else that I care about will die.

Okay. The FBI has a
system for handling madmen.

It's called the chain of command.

This person's in the FBI.

The second you call the Director,
they're gonna know.

Stop.

You're gambling with the
lives of everyone I care about,

including Ryan.

Okay.

I'll hold off telling the
Director for 24 hours,

but there's one condition,
non-negotiable.

I'm in charge of the investigation.

Anything that happens from
this point forward, my call.

Done.

Okay, so this plan clearly
involves Claire Haas,

so we need to stay on her,
find out where she's going.

I'll get us put on that detail.

Thank you.

Since when do you and
Alex have conversations

that don't end in screaming?

You up to something?

Yeah, like trying to get her

kicked out of the
Bureau once and for all.

That shouldn't be too hard
after that crap she pulled yesterday.

And me stupidly believing she changed.

I wish I could help,

but I have a meeting with
the Secret Service.

Haas' team just changed her itinerary.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I guess she lost some
ground in the Midwest,

so she's making a last-minute
trip to Ohio tonight.

♪ ♪

The terrorist had me give Claire

a three-day supply of pills, right?

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow?

Right.

Claire's leaving town tonight.

So the terrorist's window
of opportunity just shrunk.

Whatever's gonna happen...

It's happening today.

I'll never forget that
day... biking home from school

to see if the mail had arrived yet.

porch with a letter from Columbia.

- Which makes this the perfect place...

All clear.

No unusual activity over here.

Simon, you see anything?

Besides Andrew Holm failing
a take-home midterm?

Nope.

Look, thanks again for the facial
recognition access codes.

No problem. All
right. Stay sharp, people.

Being accepted here was the
proudest moment of my life,

and that's why I'm so
honored to return here

to discuss our National Security System.

Senator Haas?

May I have some water?

I...

Thank you. [Sighs]

It must be the pills raising
her body temperature.

Maybe it's part of the plan?

Man: Ma'am, here you go.

Sorry. I think I need to cut this short.

Two EMTs coming your way.

Simon, I need confirmation.

I got them. Woman's on the list.

She's clear, but the guy...

Simon, I need an answer.

Okay. Just give me a second.

[Sighs]

Sorry, no one gets
past with credentials.

Lady, I'm just trying to do my job.

Oh, what a coincidence. So am I.

you could set a murderer free.

Pollard: This drill is simple.

I was too hard on you...

for how you treated my ex-husband,

how you handled
yourself in the commission.

You were right about the terrorist

even though I couldn't see it.

I was too busy making
sure that Ryan didn't get hurt

because after what I did, I just...

Alex: Which is what?

I mean, if you don't mind me asking.

I, uh...

I fell in love with someone.

Someone I was working undercover with.

Someone who, uh, helped me realize

that although I'd always love Ryan,

he couldn't provide me what I needed.

And when I told him about her,

I thought he'd never speak to me again,

but he, uh... he understood

because he's just the best person.

We can... We can all make it this time.

Shelby.

God.

I'm sorry. You lost.

- Then we go again.
- Alex.

We go again and again until we win.

Shelby: Alex, I'm done.

What, you don't want to win?

There is no winning.

They're just gonna come up
with another way for us to lose.

Isn't that right, Liam?

Yes.

This is what's called
a lose-lose situation...

an unwinnable scenario.

A Kobayashi Maru.

Exactly.

It's a situation you
will encounter in the field

and you need to be able to recognize it

so you know you have no choice.

I know it seems maddening.

Sometimes, the only answer
is that there is no answer.

Sometimes the plane just has to go down.

You're dismissed.

Shelby. Shelby, stop.

Liam.

Liam!

You want me to be a leader,

then let me be the one to tell you this.

That was cruel and
unusual, even for you.

Shelby's parents died on a plane.

You made her relive it over
and over again? For what?

It's a lesson every NAT has to learn,

regardless of history.

Remember the HRT drill Week 4?

If you hadn't made it
through, you might not be here now

lecturing me on how to do my job.

Yeah, well, we both
know if you'd had your way,

I wouldn't be here right now.

I asked you to take a
leadership role in a time of crisis.

Don't blame me because
it didn't go well.

You can learn from this, too.

♪ ♪

Okay.

So what don't I know about Shelby?

- [Gunshot]
- [Crowd screaming]

FBI! Do not move, ma'am.

No. No, stop! Wait! I'm FBI.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will

be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney

and to have an attorney
present during any questioning.

Hey.

Thanks.

[Sighs]

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. You didn't know.

Just like I didn't know.

For 15 years, I
imagined myself on that plane.

I wondered what it was
like for my parents.

I wondered about the chain of events.

When... When they
knew about the hijackers

and if they tried to subdue them.

When they realized that
the plane was going down.

And the worst part of
it is I talked about it.

I-I gave speeches. I-I
hugged other survivors.

This is a huge part of who I
am, and it's all been a lie.

Every last word.

My parents made me do that.

And why? 'Cause...

[Voice breaking] 'Cause
they wanted to get away from me?

- They left me behind.
- No.

Who leaves their teenage daughter
without saying a word?

And what... what could I have done

- that was so bad that they had...
- No, no, no.

- No.
- They left me, Alex.

[Sniffles]

- What if...
- [Sobs]

What if there was a reason, you know?

A reason that they needed you
to think that they died?

My mom lied to me for
years about my father.

I mean, I wish she didn't, but she did.

And she did it to protect me.

What if they did it to protect you, too?

Don't assume the worst.

Now that you know, find out more.

You deserve to know the truth.

[Sighs]

This isn't just about Shelby Wyatt.

Hey, man, I don't... I
don't want to talk about this.

You know, I-I already told you that.

Well, if you want to
take down Sistemics,

there are other ways.

Tell me why you're
after them. Let me help.

I'm on a rescue mission.

Who are you trying to rescue?

Ross Edwards.

He's my best friend.

We joined together,

and then a few months
after, my dad pulled me out.

Ross tried to leave, too,
but they wouldn't let him.

Nobody ever heard from him again.

He just disappeared.

You don't understand
what Sistemics will do

to hold on to a person.

So I need to find him.

I need to get him out if
he's even still alive.

And in order to do that,

I have to meet with the
head of the church,

and it's hopeless if that's Dan Berlin

'cause he'll know that
I'm me and then...

Then he'll just throw me right out.

This doesn't have to
be your Kobayashi Maru.

There's another way.

[Door opens]

Nimah: Hey.

[Sighs]

You want to talk?

You don't want to
talk. You want to lecture.

That's not fair.

But it's true.

We don't match, Nimah... not anymore.

You're mad about Charlie?

Yes.

I am.

Because if you hadn't blown my cover,

Charlie would be home
safe with his mother now.

The woman who recruited us trusted us...

the woman you want to abandon.

[Scoffs]

I never wanted to abandon her.

But if you lie, you
won't help her, either.

If they catch you,

everything that Miranda wanted
for us... the mission...

will disappear.

How can there be a
mission if you don't trust me?

How can I trust you if you lie?

You never used to lie before.

I lied about the cell because
I wanted to protect you.

I didn't want anyone to get hurt.

And I didn't go home during holidays.

I went to see Simon Asher.

Simon?

Yes.

[Knock on door]

Pollard: Trainee Amin, let's go.

It's time for my statement.

Hannah: I'm being benched.

Suspended from active
duty till further notice.

Plus mandatory counseling.

I'm so sorry. I...

I can't let you take the blame for this.

Let... Let me go talk to them.

Maybe I can convince
them to go easy on you. I...

They did.

I'm lucky I'm not
being brought up on charges.

Trust me. This is better.

Why didn't you just tell
them the truth, Hannah?

You were gonna go to the
Director in 24 hours anyway.

I thought about it. I did.

But I don't know.

As I sat in that room

with all those people yelling
at me for overreacting,

all I could think of was, "Any
one of you could be the terrorist."

[Sighs]

The FBI can't stop what's happening.

And clearly, neither can I.

- What if it can't be stopped?
- Hey.

You're the leader now.

- [Scoffs]
- You'll find a way.

The whole world thought you
were Public Enemy Number One,

and you proved them wrong.

I mean, and today, we
foiled an assassination.

Claire Haas is still
alive, which is how I know

that you will find this
person and you will stop them.

Because you already are.

Just... do me a favor.

Anything.

No matter what happens, don't
bring Ryan into this.

He needs to sit this one out.

I promise.

This is all you now.

What the hell happened tonight?

The Secret Service said

you were standing right next to Hannah

when she discharged her weapon.

It was pitch-black in the auditorium.

It was total chaos.

- Her finger slipped on the trigger.
- Oh, come on.

You honestly expect me to believe

that the best agent that I've ever known

accidentally fired her service weapon

40 feet from a Vice Presidential
candidate?

Think what you want to think.

You want to know what I think?

I think you knew Hannah
was looking into you.

I think she was close to proving

exactly what it is you've
been up to since you got back,

and you couldn't let that happen.

- That's insane, Ryan.
- So... So you

set her up to take the fall.

But here's the deal.

You're not in the clear
because I'm coming after you now,

and I will do whatever
it takes to catch you.

[Elevator bell dings]

The OPR agents are
finishing up the interview.

You can wait...

Miranda.

I told them everything,

including you were under
my supervision, Raina.

I was gonna lie for you.

I could never let you do that.

I made mistakes, but I'll
always own up to them.

You two are too important to me.

I can't let my errors in
judgment affect your future.

I am so very proud of you both.

Man: Raina Amin, we're ready.

Will: Can I have your attention now?

I have someone I need you to meet.

Danger, Will Olsen! You know...

I'd like to introduce
myself. My name is John Baskin.

I guess it's time to stop
being scared of the Sistem.

[Chuckles]

You know, we're the same, you and me.

I was on the stairs,

afraid to ascend to the next level.

Dude, you're... you're freaking me out.

Why? I-I'm just acting.

Look. I-I used to mimic people as a kid

since I'm not good at social cues.

I still study them today.

Come here.

See?

It's... It's how I get to know people.

And I couldn't figure you out, but...

All right. Anyway, so I've
been studying some Sistemics videos.

What... What...

Why would you do that? What...

So I could help you go undercover,

help you find your friend.

I-I-I appreciate that,

but we're... we're talking
about very dangerous people here.

I-I can't ask you to risk your life...

But you're not asking. I'm volunteering.

Okay, look.

When I was 9, I lost my
sister in a car accident,

and she could have lived, but my father

wouldn't let the hospital give
her a blood transfusion.

He was a Christian scientist.

Let's just say I'm not
very fond of institutions

that hurt the
people who believe in them,

and I'm not scared of them, either.

No, it's really not okay.

You were just trying to

My father used to say

that there's no such thing as the truth.

There's what you think, what

That sounds complicated.

He was.

This is a police report from tonight.

Someone took advantage of the blackout

and broke into
Columbia's most secure lab.
