Salvation (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 11 - All In - full transcript
Grace and Harris must forge an alliance when their children's lives are in jeopardy. Also, Liam presents Jillian with an unusual proposal.
Previously on Salvation...
Welcome to RE/SYST.
We have a proposal for you.
A cyber blackout of Russia's entire
satellite array and power system?
Darius' dreams have made you rich,
and they've made the
world a better place.
But as a businessman, Darius is failing.
I call on this board to remove
the CEO of Tanz Industries.
- Zoe, get out of the car.
- I'm done with your lies.
Just drive, Dylan.
I have a nickname for you... it's Prick.
Stop! Are you drunk?
What I'm about to tell you all
will cause some concern, but I
can assure you that...
Get the medic! Turn
those cameras off now!
Harris, open your eyes...
You've been played.
I, Monroe Bennett,
do solemnly swear
that I will faithfully execute
the Office of President
of the United States, so help me God.
So help us God.
I want to assure you,
my fellow citizens,
that despite President Mackenzie's
very sudden and heartbreaking passing,
the ideals that she stood for...
Education for our children,
jobs for all who seek them, equal
rights for all citizens...
They will continue to
be pursued with vigor
and with heart.
Pauline Mackenzie was a wife,
a mother, a daughter and a patriot.
And I promise to not only uphold
the high standards she met,
but also the ones that she set.
This is the greatest
nation in the world,
and it is my honor to now lead you,
with hope, with faith,
and into continued prosperity.
May God bless us all,
and may God bless the
United States of America.
And we're clear.
Thank you, everybody. Can
you please clear the room?
Well, how'd I do?
I'd follow you into battle.
You are gonna make a
wonderful chief of staff.
It's my privilege.
We're gonna save the world, Claire.
And that is just the beginning.
- We need to talk.
- Grace...
we can't have these offtherecord
conversations anymore.
This isn't about gravity tractors
or asteroids... this
is about my daughter.
And your son.
What are you talking about?
They're involved, Harris.
I don't know how they found each other,
but they did... I saw
them kissing in a car.
And now Zoe's gone AWOL.
- I need your help to find her.
- We just...
lost our president,
we've got an extinctionlevel
event hanging over us... this...
- is not the most pressing issue.
- It is to me.
I think whatever circles your
son's been trafficking in,
he's brought Zoe into the fold.
Grace, he's an activist, not a killer.
And even if I wanted to find him,
I wouldn't know where to look.
He doesn't respond to texts, to calls,
doesn't tell me where he lives...
and my ex
hasn't heard from him in weeks.
Zoe's lying. She quit her job.
She's hiding something. So is Dylan.
I promise you, whatever's
going on with them,
it doesn't compare to
what's going on here.
Something is wrong, Harris.
I am telling you I know this.
Until I find her, you and
this entire administration
can go to hell.
In fact, you know what? I quit.
I'm done here.
Well, I don't accept your resignation.
I don't accept yours.
I'm not coming back until
I find my daughter.
Sir.
The president has
requested your presence
at the Oval Office, immediately.
The reason for this meeting
is to decide what
financial improprieties
have taken place here at Tanz,
and to look for a successor.
Excellent.
I've got a list of names.
Well, we'll keep it under advisement.
If you had read the bylaws,
which I'm sure you haven't, you'd know
that I retain my board membership
no matter who you put at the helm,
and no matter how many
backstabbers in this room
you try to pay off, Uncle.
Page 42,
paragraph six, subsection A,
highlighted in orange
for your convenience. As a result
of your recent shenanigans,
the government has cut
all ties with Tanz.
Your company has lost more than half
of its already shrinking value.
This board has determined that an audit
is necessary.
What happened to the money, Darius?
Where did the billion dollars
of Tanz Industries go?
Well, if an audit is required,
I say we have it done by an expert.
I nominate Theresa Peterson
to oversee it.
Don't be ridiculous.
She's a corporate attorney...
Versed in mergers and acquisitions,
forensic accounting,
if I'm not mistaken.
Darius, I don't think that's wise.
Well, then it probably is.
Only someone who doesn't want
the job could be trusted.
You have a vested interested
in discovering the truth.
Something you'll never hear from me.
Good morning.
How's the hangover?
I'm sorry... for last night.
Please. With everything
that's been going on,
you're entitled to one crappy night.
So, where is everyone?
The Tanz Board of Directors
suspended all work
in the Skybox.
Something to do with a financial audit.
How's your day?
Well, we lost communication
with the gravity tractor.
And we have no idea how to get it back.
What does Darius say?
Well, right now he's fighting
to keep control of Tanz.
'Cause, I mean, if he loses control
of all this, and there's no way
to fix the GT, we'll
never finish the Ark.
And all the work I've done
here, it just feels like...
grabbing sand, like it's
slipping through my fingers.
I wish we could have one day
where we just went back...
to being...
- normal.
- Yeah, me, too.
Well, maybe we can.
What do you mean they
pulled my credentials?
In light of the recent tragedy,
the White House feels they
need a leaner press corps.
Leaner? This is punishment
for my story on Project Atlas, Ed.
I'm being blackballed
because I scare them.
And if I scare them, that means
there's more buried treasure.
Look, the country is on edge right now.
And this new president has
the good will of the people.
Nobody wants another scandal...
They want to feel safe.
That's not my damn job.
I'm not their mother.
Traffic on our site is up tenfold
since all this broke.
Let's see them stop me.
Says the woman who was
run over by a car.
Amanda, think before you do
something you're gonna regret.
President Mackenzie prepared
an address to the nation
but died before she could
deliver it in full.
I'm gonna find out what
she never got to say.
Claire tells me that you're
as trustworthy as they come.
Which is what I need right now.
Which is what the country needs.
A few good patriots.
I'll take the compliment, sir.
Now, the most pressing
issue at this time...
Besides our Russian friends,
of course... is space.
I've filled President Bennett in
on our prognosis with Samson.
We have a gravity tractor
en route right now
to divert the asteroid.
Which Russia knows nothing about... yet.
Which is why we need to protect
the gravity tractor at all costs.
That is the key. The only indication
of a threat at this moment is
from unpredictable elements.
You're familiar with the group RE/SYST?
An underground hacktivist group
with international reach
and a penchant for anarchy.
Yes, I'm familiar.
Well, we've learned
they were responsible
for hacking key power grids in Russia,
causing the blackouts
that enabled Darius Tanz
to launch the gravity tractor
- without detection.
- So they helped us?
Harris, they're a
mercenary organization,
willing to create chaos
of any kind for the right price.
Now... now is not the time for chaos.
A dossier
on what we know about RE/SYST.
From what we understand,
these are two of the local leaders.
Currently unidentified.
They're a clear and present danger
to our national security.
This is not just some rebellion, Dad.
I'm actually trying to save the world.
We need to take them down.
Can I count on you, Harris?
Yes, sir.
Yes, you can.
Yes, Mike, of course I
checked with her friends.
II checked her room, her things...
Just call me if you hear from her.
Can I come in?
Yeah.
I just can't believe Zoe
would get caught up in
something like this.
If she's involved with Dylan,
believe it.
President Bennett is treating
them as a terrorist cell.
Wants them taken down.
They're talking about
sending in a tactical team.
What are we gonna do?
I can't use Pentagon
sattech to locate them,
because if I find them...
You've exposed them internally.
So how do we find them?
Darius worked with RE/SYST to
launch the gravity tractor.
See what he can do.
We have to get to them, Grace,
before anyone else does.
So, what is it
we're trying to accomplish here?
We are gonna pretend
for one day that everything is normal.
We're gonna do what normal people do.
So...
we're gonna eat cookies...
and drink...
root beer?
Play Frisbee and...
shoot water guns?
Exactly.
Today is all about the fun.
Deal?
Deal.
Bucket list. Go.
Machu Picchu.
Biking through Provence.
Meeting Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Having a book on the The New
York Times Best Seller list.
Sex in space.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's never been done...
only in the movies.
Next.
Yeah.
Getting married.
Having kids.
A boy and a girl.
And a house.
A big yard and a big ol' dog.
Yeah, like the kind
that sheds everywhere,
and has a big ol' sloppy beard
that's just dripping with water.
Hey.
Hey, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No sad today, only happy.
It's just we're never gonna
get any of those things.
No, you don't know that.
Okay, why don't we try to do
one thing on our bucket list today
just so we can say that
we knocked one out.
We can't really do anything
unless you know Neil
deGrasse Tyson's address.
Marry me.
Moving a little fast.
It's only our second date.
No, I'm serious. What
are we waiting for?
Jillian, I love you. I'm
not afraid to say it.
You can say no, just say something.
I love you, Liam Cole.
I've loved you since
the moment I saw you
without your stupid shoes.
Ms. Barrows, can I help
you with something?
Is Darius here? I need
to see him right away.
Security breach.
Attention, all personnel.
A security breach has been detected.
What's happening? Ma'am,
I'm gonna need to see
your purse, please.
I promised you full transparency.
Everything is there for you to see.
Well, what I see is
someone drowning in debt.
And yet, it seems like each
time you're overleveraged,
it's because you're close
to a major breakthrough.
Not close.
- Already there.
- Well then,
why won't you just explain that
to your uncle and the board
and end this impasse?
Because...
you're just gonna have
to trust me on this one.
I can't.
Darius, what you have done
here is revolutionary.
The world needs Tanz Industries.
My brother died trying to protect it.
I will not let that be for nothing.
It wasn't for nothing.
It's for everything.
You need to trust me
with this secret project
or else I am selling my
shares and walking away.
Karissa, what's going on?
I'll be right there.
There's something II need to
attend to on the main floor.
Of course.
I'm sorry, ma'am, we've been
instructed to detain you.
No, no, there must be
some misunderstanding.
I have full clearance here.
Darius, there's a security breach?
What's going on?
Grace, I'm afraid the
security breach is you.
Can I get another?
Make that two,
so no one can call it drinking alone.
Thanks.
Got a little...
Damn it, sorry.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And thank you.
But as much as I always
appreciate a free drink,
you can stop the "cozying up" act.
I know who you are, Miss Atlas,
from Capitol Eyes.
What do you want?
You were President Mackenzie's
chief speech writer.
And I want to know what she was gonna
tell the country before she...
I don't know.
Mackenzie wouldn't tell anyone.
She insisted on writing
that speech herself,
behind closed doors.
She locked herself in
the Oval for hours.
Said she was having trouble focusing.
Should've seen the signs.
Maybe if I had said something...
Hey.
You can't blame yourself.
But you can honor her wishes.
Help me find out what she
was gonna tell the country.
Just as I thought.
What? What is it?
Someone bugged your phone.
Your cell was hacked using spy software,
turning it into an open microphone.
So someone's been listening
- to everything I say?
- Trying to.
They'll run into firewalls
here and at the Pentagon.
There's no telling what anyone's heard.
Any idea who could have done this?
Who has access to your phone?
Were you going through my purse?
Yeah. Can I borrow $20?
Darius, my daughter is in real trouble.
Now that I've disabled the microphone,
we can see where the signal
is being transmitted.
RE/SYST is in a building
in the old warehouse district,
about 15 miles from here.
Thank you.
You can't go there alone.
I'lll'll come with you.
No, I need to save my baby.
And you need to save yours.
What have you learned, Theresa?
I've learned that...
Darius's happiness is your misery.
Why is that?
Darius...
is not the only one to
have loved and lost.
I expect a full report
in the morning..
You still play.
Not so much anymore.
Darius.
I... I saw her out there.
Tess.
Kind of hard to miss.
I'm not sure whether I
should be flattered or...
or heartbroken.
I never expected you to
walk through these doors.
I've missed you, Darius.
I... I've missed you, too.
Do you believe in second chances?
I never thought I'd get a
chance to do that again.
Me, either.
Are you sure it's okay
ambushing your mother at work like this?
Don't worry. She's gonna love you.
Could you page Eleanor
Cole for me, please?
Yes, and you are?
Liam? Liam!
- Baby.
- Mom.
What are you doing here?
Liam's doing some incredible work.
I knew he'd do amazing things
from the moment I saw him.
When was that exactly?
- No, Mom, don't, please.
- No.
No, please do. I
want to know it all.
Okay, so, it was Christmas Eve
and, we had had eight
births that night.
It was like an infant armada.
And when my 15hour shift
was finally over,
that's when I heard the cry.
I mean, I was on my way
out of the hospital.
I thought it was an alley cat at first,
but... then I saw him.
This shrieking, redfaced bundle of baby
with more intelligence and fortitude
in those big brown eyes
than I had ever seen.
- So, he was left here at the hospital?
- Yeah.
A teenage girl had left him there.
She couldn't take care of
him; That's all we knew.
So...
Mom...
we came here to surprise you.
We, Jillian and I,
are... getting married.
Today.
Married?
How long you two been together?
53 days, on and off.
Jillian, do you mind if I speak
with my child, please? Alone.
Of course. Yep.
What are you doing?
A girl you hardly know,
you bring her here,
you tell me you want to marry her today.
Do you want to give me a heart attack?
II know that it seems impulsive...
No, it doesn't seem impulsive.
It is impulsive.
No, is she pregnant?
- What? No.
- Well, please,
help me understand. What is your hurry?
I can't, I can't make you understand.
Listen, Liam, I have
never held my tongue.
I'm not about to start now.
I can't support this decision.
This doesn't feel like love;
It feels like desperation.
If it's right, you
should be able to wait
and have a proper wedding
with her family and yours.
I need to get back to my shift.
Wait. Where are you going?
Inside. With you.
- If my daughter's in there...
- The last person
she'll want to listen to
right now is her mother.
I'll talk to her, okay?
You have to trust me to handle this.
Come on, please don't use that word.
I know about the bait
and switch you pulled.
With the gravity tractor.
Darius says he's lost control of it,
that it's being weaponized...
to save us,
destroy others.
Grace,
there are darker forces at play here.
And I promise you I will
get to the bottom of this.
But until I do...
you're just gonna have to trust me.
Harris, get them out.
Safely.
Don't move.
Do you have any idea who the
hell you're dealing with?
Yeah. The other cog
in the militaryindustrial
complex wheel.
And my father.
I got this.
So this is why you
dropped out of college.
This is your life now?
We're freedom fighters.
RE/SYST isn't the benevolent entity
you think it is. Look, if you're talking
about what happened
last summer in Idaho,
we just exposed the truth
about those supremacists.
The National Guard
started the firefight.
Dumping information, however
true, has consequences.
My God, open your eyes.
Look at the institution
you serve for once.
I'm not here to lecture
you, I'm here to warn you.
They're coming for you. Soon.
You have a few hours to pack
up and get out of here.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because I don't want
anything to happen to you...
or Zoe.
Zoe's not here.
She's breaking her mother's heart.
If you know where she is, please...
I...
I can't tell you.
Okay? But I can tell
you that she's safe.
I have a car outside.
Can walk out of here with
me, no questions asked.
Sorry. You have your fight,
I have mine.
I know.
And I respect that.
The government needs resistance
to keep their power in check.
And it takes very brave people
to stand up to that kind of power.
I love you.
Know that.
This is Mackenzie's entire
handwritten speech.
How did you get this?
Her speechwriter.
Mackenzie gave it to her right
before she went on the air.
Does anyone else know you have this?
Okay, there are words missing,
and they've been replaced with numbers?
It's a kind of code.
A lot of eyeballs usually
saw her speeches
before they were
televised, but this one,
Mackenzie was paranoid...
It's her only copy,
and it didn't even make
it to the teleprompter.
Okay, so other than a lot of
nonsense, what do we know?
Just that she learned about
something called Project Samson
four months ago.
Something she refers to as
"a potential apocalypse."
Apocalypse?
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
It means if Atlas was
the story of the year,
Samson's the story of the century.
Where are we going?
You want to know where the money went?
I'm gonna show you my secret.
Welcome, Darius.
But you have to promise not to tell.
The Mars project.
It's done.
It's incredible.
Why all the secrecy?
I'm afraid the government will seize it
or that Nicholas will sell
seats to the highest bidder.
It needs to be protected.
I had to spend the money to
expedite the project because...
Because...
the world is going to hell
quicker than anyone could have imagined,
and you needed to be sure
we could start over somewhere.
Something like that.
There's a seat here for you.
And your children.
Should the need ever arise.
You know, most kids just
dream of being a...
fireman or a policeman or a doctor.
You weren't just any kid.
Neither were you.
Satellite pharmacy, pick up 2251.
Satellite pharmacy, pick up 2251.
Mom.
I thought I'd scared you off.
I'm sorry I was so harsh with you.
No. No, no, no.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I disappeared. I haven't
seen you in weeks.
And then, when I finally come around,
I drop a huge bomb on you.
All I ever wanted was for you
to have a bright future.
You were my miracle.
And when you first saw me,
how long did it take until you knew...
you know, yyou knew
we were meant to be?
I knew it from the moment
I laid eyes on you.
That's the feeling I had
when I met Jillian.
Time is precious, Ma.
I don't want to waste it.
You got a ring?
You're not always a genius, are you?
Aw. Grandma's ring?
She loved you so.
Darius,
if you won't tell the
board about Salvation...
I know, I know.
They're not gonna take your word for it.
They want proof where the money went.
Especially Nicholas.
I asked him
why he wants to cause you such misery,
and he said the strangest thing.
He said you weren't the only
one to have loved and lost.
What do you think he meant?
So, Tess has rightly explained
that if I want you all
to understand where the money went,
I must show you all my secret project.
If you please, Nicholas, as chairman
of this operation, I propose that
you and I voyage to do this together,
the two of us.
Then you can all decide how
to proceed after that.
Very well.
And bring an air sickness bag.
We're going flying.
You found their location,
a member count,
a weapons and defensive
position assessment.
Incredible work, Harris.
Thank you, sir.
We have the location for now,
but RE/SYST is a nomadic entity.
Which is why we have to
mobilize immediately.
We're taking them out.
They're an obstacle we
can't afford right now.
"Taking them out"?
I'm ordering a strike team,
unless you have any objections.
No, sir.
They're a terrorist organization.
They must be stopped.
Liam.
Yeah? What's wrong?
I'm sorry. I can't do this.
Where exactly are we
going to see this secret project?
Nowhere.
I thought we just needed
a little bonding time.
Obviously, you have something
you need to get off your chest.
The physics of aerodynamics
are really quite fascinating.
You've got two major forces at play:
The lift off the wings pulling us up
and gravity pulling us down.
I am aware of that.
It's a tugofwar, a
balance of two implacable
forces of physics.
If I cut the engine...
the only lift we get
is through our own momentum,
which isn't enough.
II figure we've got about 90 seconds
before impact.
So, what, you're... you're
going to commit suicide?
Well, I suppose suicide
would be the legal
terminology in my case.
In your case, it's probably murder.
You're insane.
So I've been told, repeatedly.
Locked you out.
Sorry, Uncle.
Nice to see you're capable
of human emotion.
Even if that emotion is fear.
That's as... ridiculous as it is unfair.
Is it?
Who drilled in me that emotions
are the enemy of success?
That to achieve at the
highest level, you must
divorce one's self from
the chains of love?
Yes, I raised you.
I raised you and I made
you what you are today!
You destroyed me and everything
that mattered to me.
And... and now the
destruction continues.
Why? I want answers.
Who did you love and lose, Uncle?
Darius, youyou stop this now.
I want an answer.
Or prepare for impact.
You've got to stop
this nonsense, Darius.
Who did you love and lose Uncle?
You've got about 50
seconds to convince me
there's something other
than ice and bourbon
coursing through your veins.
Who was it?!
Your mother.
Claudia.
I met her first.
Asked her to marry me.
But then he came into the
picture, your father.
What the hell are you talking about?
He stole her away from me,
so I stole you away from him.
From both of them.
But despite my cruel intentions...
I did love you,
as if you were my own son.
Brace for impact.
Brace for impact.
Brace for impact.
What are you doing?
The only way to generate lift
is to go forward.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I understand
why you got cold feet.
This whole thing is just crazy.
I didn't get cold feet.
I want to marry you, Liam,
more than anything.
But?
Your mother's right.
This is desperation.
This is an act of hopelessness.
One grand, romantic gesture
before... the end of the world.
It's saying that we don't
believe in the future.
And I'm...
I'm not ready to say that.
You solved the EmDrive.
You can solve whatever's
in front of you.
- I believe in you.
- I know.
Kind of scares the crap out
of me, if I'm being honest.
No matter what happens, we're together.
To the end.
Whether that's 130 days
or 130 years.
Deal?
Deal.
Everything all right?
We're gonna take your advice, Ms. Cole.
We're gonna wait.
Have a proper wedding.
Good.
'Cause I could use a little
more time to find a dress.
You are clear to proceed.
Copy that, Delta five.
In position and moving in.
30 seconds to detonation.
Clear the area.
This is News Chopper Four on the scene
with our ongoing coverage
of a huge gas explosion
that occurred an hour ago
outside the downtown area
and engulfed an abandoned factory.
Casualties still remain uncertain.
Harris, did you see?
Theythey blew the place up.
Look, Dylan knew to get out and
he promised me Zoe is safe.
You're sure?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Okay.
Look, Grace.
Something is rotten at
the highest levels.
Our democracy hangs by a thread
and so does the world right now.
So, what are you gonna do?
Whatever I have to.
I'll do the same.
You're not quitting?
Harris, I'm in this fight
till the end.
It could be at great
sacrifice to both of us.
Whatever it takes.
Arsenic on the rocks?
50yearold single malt.
Your favorite, I believe.
From a murder/suicide
to a very expensive toast.
I never know what to expect from you.
We're celebrating our agreement
to leave me on as CEO.
II don't remember agreeing to that.
I'll handle R&D, product development,
and longterm planning,
the face of the company.
You'll handle the business
side and investment strategy,
which is what gives you
joy for some reason.
And if I say no?
Uncle.
You and I, we're like a
family from Pompeii,
covered in ash...
buried for eternity.
It's time we smashed out.
Well, then it's settled then.
For now.
Uncle.
I'm sorry for your heartbreak.
So, you put the past
to bed with Nicholas?
Best as we could.
Putting the past to bed is never easy.
Tess.
You asked me if I believe
in second chances.
I do.
But I also believe in timing and...
well, I think... for us...
Now is not the time.
I know.
Guess there's something
about tree houses
that makes us all dreamers.
Yeah.
Harris. Come in.
Where's the president?
He was called away.
We just got word.
The operation at RE/SYST headquarters,
it was a success.
We crippled their tech capabilities
and as for their local members...
This footage was shot
by an onsite drone.
Six bodies were recovered.
The president is extremely pleased.
With your help, a dangerous
terror organization
has been deeply damaged.
I think it's fair to
say he trusts you now.
And what does this
newfound trust get me?
Access to the inner circle.
Good.
I believe a celebration is in order.
Can I interest you in a drink?
I'd like that.
Welcome to RE/SYST.
We have a proposal for you.
A cyber blackout of Russia's entire
satellite array and power system?
Darius' dreams have made you rich,
and they've made the
world a better place.
But as a businessman, Darius is failing.
I call on this board to remove
the CEO of Tanz Industries.
- Zoe, get out of the car.
- I'm done with your lies.
Just drive, Dylan.
I have a nickname for you... it's Prick.
Stop! Are you drunk?
What I'm about to tell you all
will cause some concern, but I
can assure you that...
Get the medic! Turn
those cameras off now!
Harris, open your eyes...
You've been played.
I, Monroe Bennett,
do solemnly swear
that I will faithfully execute
the Office of President
of the United States, so help me God.
So help us God.
I want to assure you,
my fellow citizens,
that despite President Mackenzie's
very sudden and heartbreaking passing,
the ideals that she stood for...
Education for our children,
jobs for all who seek them, equal
rights for all citizens...
They will continue to
be pursued with vigor
and with heart.
Pauline Mackenzie was a wife,
a mother, a daughter and a patriot.
And I promise to not only uphold
the high standards she met,
but also the ones that she set.
This is the greatest
nation in the world,
and it is my honor to now lead you,
with hope, with faith,
and into continued prosperity.
May God bless us all,
and may God bless the
United States of America.
And we're clear.
Thank you, everybody. Can
you please clear the room?
Well, how'd I do?
I'd follow you into battle.
You are gonna make a
wonderful chief of staff.
It's my privilege.
We're gonna save the world, Claire.
And that is just the beginning.
- We need to talk.
- Grace...
we can't have these offtherecord
conversations anymore.
This isn't about gravity tractors
or asteroids... this
is about my daughter.
And your son.
What are you talking about?
They're involved, Harris.
I don't know how they found each other,
but they did... I saw
them kissing in a car.
And now Zoe's gone AWOL.
- I need your help to find her.
- We just...
lost our president,
we've got an extinctionlevel
event hanging over us... this...
- is not the most pressing issue.
- It is to me.
I think whatever circles your
son's been trafficking in,
he's brought Zoe into the fold.
Grace, he's an activist, not a killer.
And even if I wanted to find him,
I wouldn't know where to look.
He doesn't respond to texts, to calls,
doesn't tell me where he lives...
and my ex
hasn't heard from him in weeks.
Zoe's lying. She quit her job.
She's hiding something. So is Dylan.
I promise you, whatever's
going on with them,
it doesn't compare to
what's going on here.
Something is wrong, Harris.
I am telling you I know this.
Until I find her, you and
this entire administration
can go to hell.
In fact, you know what? I quit.
I'm done here.
Well, I don't accept your resignation.
I don't accept yours.
I'm not coming back until
I find my daughter.
Sir.
The president has
requested your presence
at the Oval Office, immediately.
The reason for this meeting
is to decide what
financial improprieties
have taken place here at Tanz,
and to look for a successor.
Excellent.
I've got a list of names.
Well, we'll keep it under advisement.
If you had read the bylaws,
which I'm sure you haven't, you'd know
that I retain my board membership
no matter who you put at the helm,
and no matter how many
backstabbers in this room
you try to pay off, Uncle.
Page 42,
paragraph six, subsection A,
highlighted in orange
for your convenience. As a result
of your recent shenanigans,
the government has cut
all ties with Tanz.
Your company has lost more than half
of its already shrinking value.
This board has determined that an audit
is necessary.
What happened to the money, Darius?
Where did the billion dollars
of Tanz Industries go?
Well, if an audit is required,
I say we have it done by an expert.
I nominate Theresa Peterson
to oversee it.
Don't be ridiculous.
She's a corporate attorney...
Versed in mergers and acquisitions,
forensic accounting,
if I'm not mistaken.
Darius, I don't think that's wise.
Well, then it probably is.
Only someone who doesn't want
the job could be trusted.
You have a vested interested
in discovering the truth.
Something you'll never hear from me.
Good morning.
How's the hangover?
I'm sorry... for last night.
Please. With everything
that's been going on,
you're entitled to one crappy night.
So, where is everyone?
The Tanz Board of Directors
suspended all work
in the Skybox.
Something to do with a financial audit.
How's your day?
Well, we lost communication
with the gravity tractor.
And we have no idea how to get it back.
What does Darius say?
Well, right now he's fighting
to keep control of Tanz.
'Cause, I mean, if he loses control
of all this, and there's no way
to fix the GT, we'll
never finish the Ark.
And all the work I've done
here, it just feels like...
grabbing sand, like it's
slipping through my fingers.
I wish we could have one day
where we just went back...
to being...
- normal.
- Yeah, me, too.
Well, maybe we can.
What do you mean they
pulled my credentials?
In light of the recent tragedy,
the White House feels they
need a leaner press corps.
Leaner? This is punishment
for my story on Project Atlas, Ed.
I'm being blackballed
because I scare them.
And if I scare them, that means
there's more buried treasure.
Look, the country is on edge right now.
And this new president has
the good will of the people.
Nobody wants another scandal...
They want to feel safe.
That's not my damn job.
I'm not their mother.
Traffic on our site is up tenfold
since all this broke.
Let's see them stop me.
Says the woman who was
run over by a car.
Amanda, think before you do
something you're gonna regret.
President Mackenzie prepared
an address to the nation
but died before she could
deliver it in full.
I'm gonna find out what
she never got to say.
Claire tells me that you're
as trustworthy as they come.
Which is what I need right now.
Which is what the country needs.
A few good patriots.
I'll take the compliment, sir.
Now, the most pressing
issue at this time...
Besides our Russian friends,
of course... is space.
I've filled President Bennett in
on our prognosis with Samson.
We have a gravity tractor
en route right now
to divert the asteroid.
Which Russia knows nothing about... yet.
Which is why we need to protect
the gravity tractor at all costs.
That is the key. The only indication
of a threat at this moment is
from unpredictable elements.
You're familiar with the group RE/SYST?
An underground hacktivist group
with international reach
and a penchant for anarchy.
Yes, I'm familiar.
Well, we've learned
they were responsible
for hacking key power grids in Russia,
causing the blackouts
that enabled Darius Tanz
to launch the gravity tractor
- without detection.
- So they helped us?
Harris, they're a
mercenary organization,
willing to create chaos
of any kind for the right price.
Now... now is not the time for chaos.
A dossier
on what we know about RE/SYST.
From what we understand,
these are two of the local leaders.
Currently unidentified.
They're a clear and present danger
to our national security.
This is not just some rebellion, Dad.
I'm actually trying to save the world.
We need to take them down.
Can I count on you, Harris?
Yes, sir.
Yes, you can.
Yes, Mike, of course I
checked with her friends.
II checked her room, her things...
Just call me if you hear from her.
Can I come in?
Yeah.
I just can't believe Zoe
would get caught up in
something like this.
If she's involved with Dylan,
believe it.
President Bennett is treating
them as a terrorist cell.
Wants them taken down.
They're talking about
sending in a tactical team.
What are we gonna do?
I can't use Pentagon
sattech to locate them,
because if I find them...
You've exposed them internally.
So how do we find them?
Darius worked with RE/SYST to
launch the gravity tractor.
See what he can do.
We have to get to them, Grace,
before anyone else does.
So, what is it
we're trying to accomplish here?
We are gonna pretend
for one day that everything is normal.
We're gonna do what normal people do.
So...
we're gonna eat cookies...
and drink...
root beer?
Play Frisbee and...
shoot water guns?
Exactly.
Today is all about the fun.
Deal?
Deal.
Bucket list. Go.
Machu Picchu.
Biking through Provence.
Meeting Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Having a book on the The New
York Times Best Seller list.
Sex in space.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's never been done...
only in the movies.
Next.
Yeah.
Getting married.
Having kids.
A boy and a girl.
And a house.
A big yard and a big ol' dog.
Yeah, like the kind
that sheds everywhere,
and has a big ol' sloppy beard
that's just dripping with water.
Hey.
Hey, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No sad today, only happy.
It's just we're never gonna
get any of those things.
No, you don't know that.
Okay, why don't we try to do
one thing on our bucket list today
just so we can say that
we knocked one out.
We can't really do anything
unless you know Neil
deGrasse Tyson's address.
Marry me.
Moving a little fast.
It's only our second date.
No, I'm serious. What
are we waiting for?
Jillian, I love you. I'm
not afraid to say it.
You can say no, just say something.
I love you, Liam Cole.
I've loved you since
the moment I saw you
without your stupid shoes.
Ms. Barrows, can I help
you with something?
Is Darius here? I need
to see him right away.
Security breach.
Attention, all personnel.
A security breach has been detected.
What's happening? Ma'am,
I'm gonna need to see
your purse, please.
I promised you full transparency.
Everything is there for you to see.
Well, what I see is
someone drowning in debt.
And yet, it seems like each
time you're overleveraged,
it's because you're close
to a major breakthrough.
Not close.
- Already there.
- Well then,
why won't you just explain that
to your uncle and the board
and end this impasse?
Because...
you're just gonna have
to trust me on this one.
I can't.
Darius, what you have done
here is revolutionary.
The world needs Tanz Industries.
My brother died trying to protect it.
I will not let that be for nothing.
It wasn't for nothing.
It's for everything.
You need to trust me
with this secret project
or else I am selling my
shares and walking away.
Karissa, what's going on?
I'll be right there.
There's something II need to
attend to on the main floor.
Of course.
I'm sorry, ma'am, we've been
instructed to detain you.
No, no, there must be
some misunderstanding.
I have full clearance here.
Darius, there's a security breach?
What's going on?
Grace, I'm afraid the
security breach is you.
Can I get another?
Make that two,
so no one can call it drinking alone.
Thanks.
Got a little...
Damn it, sorry.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And thank you.
But as much as I always
appreciate a free drink,
you can stop the "cozying up" act.
I know who you are, Miss Atlas,
from Capitol Eyes.
What do you want?
You were President Mackenzie's
chief speech writer.
And I want to know what she was gonna
tell the country before she...
I don't know.
Mackenzie wouldn't tell anyone.
She insisted on writing
that speech herself,
behind closed doors.
She locked herself in
the Oval for hours.
Said she was having trouble focusing.
Should've seen the signs.
Maybe if I had said something...
Hey.
You can't blame yourself.
But you can honor her wishes.
Help me find out what she
was gonna tell the country.
Just as I thought.
What? What is it?
Someone bugged your phone.
Your cell was hacked using spy software,
turning it into an open microphone.
So someone's been listening
- to everything I say?
- Trying to.
They'll run into firewalls
here and at the Pentagon.
There's no telling what anyone's heard.
Any idea who could have done this?
Who has access to your phone?
Were you going through my purse?
Yeah. Can I borrow $20?
Darius, my daughter is in real trouble.
Now that I've disabled the microphone,
we can see where the signal
is being transmitted.
RE/SYST is in a building
in the old warehouse district,
about 15 miles from here.
Thank you.
You can't go there alone.
I'lll'll come with you.
No, I need to save my baby.
And you need to save yours.
What have you learned, Theresa?
I've learned that...
Darius's happiness is your misery.
Why is that?
Darius...
is not the only one to
have loved and lost.
I expect a full report
in the morning..
You still play.
Not so much anymore.
Darius.
I... I saw her out there.
Tess.
Kind of hard to miss.
I'm not sure whether I
should be flattered or...
or heartbroken.
I never expected you to
walk through these doors.
I've missed you, Darius.
I... I've missed you, too.
Do you believe in second chances?
I never thought I'd get a
chance to do that again.
Me, either.
Are you sure it's okay
ambushing your mother at work like this?
Don't worry. She's gonna love you.
Could you page Eleanor
Cole for me, please?
Yes, and you are?
Liam? Liam!
- Baby.
- Mom.
What are you doing here?
Liam's doing some incredible work.
I knew he'd do amazing things
from the moment I saw him.
When was that exactly?
- No, Mom, don't, please.
- No.
No, please do. I
want to know it all.
Okay, so, it was Christmas Eve
and, we had had eight
births that night.
It was like an infant armada.
And when my 15hour shift
was finally over,
that's when I heard the cry.
I mean, I was on my way
out of the hospital.
I thought it was an alley cat at first,
but... then I saw him.
This shrieking, redfaced bundle of baby
with more intelligence and fortitude
in those big brown eyes
than I had ever seen.
- So, he was left here at the hospital?
- Yeah.
A teenage girl had left him there.
She couldn't take care of
him; That's all we knew.
So...
Mom...
we came here to surprise you.
We, Jillian and I,
are... getting married.
Today.
Married?
How long you two been together?
53 days, on and off.
Jillian, do you mind if I speak
with my child, please? Alone.
Of course. Yep.
What are you doing?
A girl you hardly know,
you bring her here,
you tell me you want to marry her today.
Do you want to give me a heart attack?
II know that it seems impulsive...
No, it doesn't seem impulsive.
It is impulsive.
No, is she pregnant?
- What? No.
- Well, please,
help me understand. What is your hurry?
I can't, I can't make you understand.
Listen, Liam, I have
never held my tongue.
I'm not about to start now.
I can't support this decision.
This doesn't feel like love;
It feels like desperation.
If it's right, you
should be able to wait
and have a proper wedding
with her family and yours.
I need to get back to my shift.
Wait. Where are you going?
Inside. With you.
- If my daughter's in there...
- The last person
she'll want to listen to
right now is her mother.
I'll talk to her, okay?
You have to trust me to handle this.
Come on, please don't use that word.
I know about the bait
and switch you pulled.
With the gravity tractor.
Darius says he's lost control of it,
that it's being weaponized...
to save us,
destroy others.
Grace,
there are darker forces at play here.
And I promise you I will
get to the bottom of this.
But until I do...
you're just gonna have to trust me.
Harris, get them out.
Safely.
Don't move.
Do you have any idea who the
hell you're dealing with?
Yeah. The other cog
in the militaryindustrial
complex wheel.
And my father.
I got this.
So this is why you
dropped out of college.
This is your life now?
We're freedom fighters.
RE/SYST isn't the benevolent entity
you think it is. Look, if you're talking
about what happened
last summer in Idaho,
we just exposed the truth
about those supremacists.
The National Guard
started the firefight.
Dumping information, however
true, has consequences.
My God, open your eyes.
Look at the institution
you serve for once.
I'm not here to lecture
you, I'm here to warn you.
They're coming for you. Soon.
You have a few hours to pack
up and get out of here.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because I don't want
anything to happen to you...
or Zoe.
Zoe's not here.
She's breaking her mother's heart.
If you know where she is, please...
I...
I can't tell you.
Okay? But I can tell
you that she's safe.
I have a car outside.
Can walk out of here with
me, no questions asked.
Sorry. You have your fight,
I have mine.
I know.
And I respect that.
The government needs resistance
to keep their power in check.
And it takes very brave people
to stand up to that kind of power.
I love you.
Know that.
This is Mackenzie's entire
handwritten speech.
How did you get this?
Her speechwriter.
Mackenzie gave it to her right
before she went on the air.
Does anyone else know you have this?
Okay, there are words missing,
and they've been replaced with numbers?
It's a kind of code.
A lot of eyeballs usually
saw her speeches
before they were
televised, but this one,
Mackenzie was paranoid...
It's her only copy,
and it didn't even make
it to the teleprompter.
Okay, so other than a lot of
nonsense, what do we know?
Just that she learned about
something called Project Samson
four months ago.
Something she refers to as
"a potential apocalypse."
Apocalypse?
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
It means if Atlas was
the story of the year,
Samson's the story of the century.
Where are we going?
You want to know where the money went?
I'm gonna show you my secret.
Welcome, Darius.
But you have to promise not to tell.
The Mars project.
It's done.
It's incredible.
Why all the secrecy?
I'm afraid the government will seize it
or that Nicholas will sell
seats to the highest bidder.
It needs to be protected.
I had to spend the money to
expedite the project because...
Because...
the world is going to hell
quicker than anyone could have imagined,
and you needed to be sure
we could start over somewhere.
Something like that.
There's a seat here for you.
And your children.
Should the need ever arise.
You know, most kids just
dream of being a...
fireman or a policeman or a doctor.
You weren't just any kid.
Neither were you.
Satellite pharmacy, pick up 2251.
Satellite pharmacy, pick up 2251.
Mom.
I thought I'd scared you off.
I'm sorry I was so harsh with you.
No. No, no, no.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I disappeared. I haven't
seen you in weeks.
And then, when I finally come around,
I drop a huge bomb on you.
All I ever wanted was for you
to have a bright future.
You were my miracle.
And when you first saw me,
how long did it take until you knew...
you know, yyou knew
we were meant to be?
I knew it from the moment
I laid eyes on you.
That's the feeling I had
when I met Jillian.
Time is precious, Ma.
I don't want to waste it.
You got a ring?
You're not always a genius, are you?
Aw. Grandma's ring?
She loved you so.
Darius,
if you won't tell the
board about Salvation...
I know, I know.
They're not gonna take your word for it.
They want proof where the money went.
Especially Nicholas.
I asked him
why he wants to cause you such misery,
and he said the strangest thing.
He said you weren't the only
one to have loved and lost.
What do you think he meant?
So, Tess has rightly explained
that if I want you all
to understand where the money went,
I must show you all my secret project.
If you please, Nicholas, as chairman
of this operation, I propose that
you and I voyage to do this together,
the two of us.
Then you can all decide how
to proceed after that.
Very well.
And bring an air sickness bag.
We're going flying.
You found their location,
a member count,
a weapons and defensive
position assessment.
Incredible work, Harris.
Thank you, sir.
We have the location for now,
but RE/SYST is a nomadic entity.
Which is why we have to
mobilize immediately.
We're taking them out.
They're an obstacle we
can't afford right now.
"Taking them out"?
I'm ordering a strike team,
unless you have any objections.
No, sir.
They're a terrorist organization.
They must be stopped.
Liam.
Yeah? What's wrong?
I'm sorry. I can't do this.
Where exactly are we
going to see this secret project?
Nowhere.
I thought we just needed
a little bonding time.
Obviously, you have something
you need to get off your chest.
The physics of aerodynamics
are really quite fascinating.
You've got two major forces at play:
The lift off the wings pulling us up
and gravity pulling us down.
I am aware of that.
It's a tugofwar, a
balance of two implacable
forces of physics.
If I cut the engine...
the only lift we get
is through our own momentum,
which isn't enough.
II figure we've got about 90 seconds
before impact.
So, what, you're... you're
going to commit suicide?
Well, I suppose suicide
would be the legal
terminology in my case.
In your case, it's probably murder.
You're insane.
So I've been told, repeatedly.
Locked you out.
Sorry, Uncle.
Nice to see you're capable
of human emotion.
Even if that emotion is fear.
That's as... ridiculous as it is unfair.
Is it?
Who drilled in me that emotions
are the enemy of success?
That to achieve at the
highest level, you must
divorce one's self from
the chains of love?
Yes, I raised you.
I raised you and I made
you what you are today!
You destroyed me and everything
that mattered to me.
And... and now the
destruction continues.
Why? I want answers.
Who did you love and lose, Uncle?
Darius, youyou stop this now.
I want an answer.
Or prepare for impact.
You've got to stop
this nonsense, Darius.
Who did you love and lose Uncle?
You've got about 50
seconds to convince me
there's something other
than ice and bourbon
coursing through your veins.
Who was it?!
Your mother.
Claudia.
I met her first.
Asked her to marry me.
But then he came into the
picture, your father.
What the hell are you talking about?
He stole her away from me,
so I stole you away from him.
From both of them.
But despite my cruel intentions...
I did love you,
as if you were my own son.
Brace for impact.
Brace for impact.
Brace for impact.
What are you doing?
The only way to generate lift
is to go forward.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I understand
why you got cold feet.
This whole thing is just crazy.
I didn't get cold feet.
I want to marry you, Liam,
more than anything.
But?
Your mother's right.
This is desperation.
This is an act of hopelessness.
One grand, romantic gesture
before... the end of the world.
It's saying that we don't
believe in the future.
And I'm...
I'm not ready to say that.
You solved the EmDrive.
You can solve whatever's
in front of you.
- I believe in you.
- I know.
Kind of scares the crap out
of me, if I'm being honest.
No matter what happens, we're together.
To the end.
Whether that's 130 days
or 130 years.
Deal?
Deal.
Everything all right?
We're gonna take your advice, Ms. Cole.
We're gonna wait.
Have a proper wedding.
Good.
'Cause I could use a little
more time to find a dress.
You are clear to proceed.
Copy that, Delta five.
In position and moving in.
30 seconds to detonation.
Clear the area.
This is News Chopper Four on the scene
with our ongoing coverage
of a huge gas explosion
that occurred an hour ago
outside the downtown area
and engulfed an abandoned factory.
Casualties still remain uncertain.
Harris, did you see?
Theythey blew the place up.
Look, Dylan knew to get out and
he promised me Zoe is safe.
You're sure?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Okay.
Look, Grace.
Something is rotten at
the highest levels.
Our democracy hangs by a thread
and so does the world right now.
So, what are you gonna do?
Whatever I have to.
I'll do the same.
You're not quitting?
Harris, I'm in this fight
till the end.
It could be at great
sacrifice to both of us.
Whatever it takes.
Arsenic on the rocks?
50yearold single malt.
Your favorite, I believe.
From a murder/suicide
to a very expensive toast.
I never know what to expect from you.
We're celebrating our agreement
to leave me on as CEO.
II don't remember agreeing to that.
I'll handle R&D, product development,
and longterm planning,
the face of the company.
You'll handle the business
side and investment strategy,
which is what gives you
joy for some reason.
And if I say no?
Uncle.
You and I, we're like a
family from Pompeii,
covered in ash...
buried for eternity.
It's time we smashed out.
Well, then it's settled then.
For now.
Uncle.
I'm sorry for your heartbreak.
So, you put the past
to bed with Nicholas?
Best as we could.
Putting the past to bed is never easy.
Tess.
You asked me if I believe
in second chances.
I do.
But I also believe in timing and...
well, I think... for us...
Now is not the time.
I know.
Guess there's something
about tree houses
that makes us all dreamers.
Yeah.
Harris. Come in.
Where's the president?
He was called away.
We just got word.
The operation at RE/SYST headquarters,
it was a success.
We crippled their tech capabilities
and as for their local members...
This footage was shot
by an onsite drone.
Six bodies were recovered.
The president is extremely pleased.
With your help, a dangerous
terror organization
