Welcome to Last Resort
[People chattering]
They didn't have plain mint, so I got you raspberry mint
and a mystery meat sandwich.
Yum.
So, did you get mom and dad a card yet,
or do you wanna just sign this one?
I was gonna get them a card.
Right.
Give me that.
Beautiful, huh?
Huh?
Countryside.
Oh, uh...
Just sign the card.
Excuse me for looking out for my little sister.
You never know. He could be a serial killer or something.
Shh.
[Whispering] Keep your voice down.
When you talk low like this,
it's actually harder to hear than a whisper.
You're making that up.
Tell that to the Taliban.
Jeez, Cali, you wrote them a novel here.
Another hour till we get there.
You'll think of something.
[Phone ringing]
Announcer: All passengers connecting to bus lines at Hartford station,
please use platform 2.
[Passengers chatting]
What are you doing?
I need you to do exactly as I say.
No time for questions. Just listen.
When I start walking down this car,
I want you to grab that backpack there. See?
Bryan, what's going on?
Do you see it? Yeah.
When the...Tells you it's his, you argue with him.
You keep it going till i either come back, or i shout out your name.
And if i shout out your name, you get down
You crawl into a space between those seats.
You're really scaring me.
Just do as I say.
Everything is gonna be fine.
Man: Hey, excuse me.
That belongs to me.
What? No. I don't think so.
Man: Yes, it does. Just give it back.
You don't need to talk to me like that.
Check the name, this is my bag.
What the hell is your problem, miss?
I don't care what you're saying. This is my bag.
It's mine, all right? Just let go of the bag.
I'm not gonna let go!
Cali!
Woman 1: What are you doing?
Woman 2: Get down!
[Passengers screaming]
[Woman screaming]
Okay, listen up. I'm a cop.
No one move, all right?
Everyone stay where you are.
You got cuffs?
Cali?
[Cell phone ringing]
Yeah.
No, I'm not near a TV. Just give me the headlines.
Bryan. Bryan. Bryan.
Bryan, can you tell us what happened?
It's a very difficult time for my family,
as you can see.
A little respect for that right now will be much appreciated.
Reporter: Bryan, what tipped you off?
Have you eaten anything, Bryan?
I fixed you something.
[Sobbing]
[Wailing]
What's local law enforcement saying?
Still waiting for a statement.
Christina: No outburst, no delusional rant?
Total silence, from what we're hearing.
Okay. Now I'm interested.
And there's this.
Ex-military, green beret, three tours in Afghanistan.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this isn't middle east related.
Puerto berrio, Colombia, January 2015.
Mills' last active service posting
as liaison to Colombian special forces
for operation snow Joe,
to capture Carlos meija,
aka "El carnicero", "the butcher". Whatever.
Last seen seven years ago.
CIA based on source and asset reports
believes his cartel is now running
terrorists and weapons as well as drugs into the us.
Puerto where? Berrio.
Thing is meija wasn't even there.
But his son Miguel was.
Christina: Our friend on the train did this?
Yep. While saving the life of an undercover DEA agent,
Mike hall.
If this is meija avenging the death of his son,
he's probably not gonna stop until it's done.
Good.
Good.
So, starting right now,
we control the story.
Write state and local law enforcement, FBI, CIA,
I want everyone on the same sheet of music.
This was two delusional maniacs. Investigation ongoing.
Okay? You guys know the rest.
You call the national security advisor.
Tell him I'm on my way.
[Gate buzzing]
Who are you?
Okay. Good.
Unlock him, please.
[Gate buzzing open]
My associate Becca.
What did you tell the police?
Nothing.
We have to ask.
And now you know.
And tomorrow. What about it?
And the next day, and the next day.
I don't buy it.
Excuse me?
What's she's saying is she doesn't believe it's possible
for you to say nothing forever.
But the type of people we believe are gonna be coming at you next...
I have to agree.
Not sure I'd buy it either.
What the hell is this?
What were you expecting?
They'd send someone to spring you?
Really?
Our client has instructed us to tell you that your family
will be generously compensated
for your sacrifice.
This wasn't the deal!
The hit was... Was what?
It was a good hit. How do you figure that?
We got her, didn't we?
What about him? No, no.
We were told to leave him for...
[Coughing]
Didn't she just tell you it'd be impossible
for you to say nothing forever?
Are you cops?
Please.
John: In case you hadn't figured it out already,
your life is in our hands now.
So if I were you,
I'd start trying to live in the moment.
Who's that woman sitting next to Henry masters?
Priest: We'll begin by standing for eternal father,
which you will find on page 352 of your hymn book.
[Church organ playing]
¶ Eternal father strong to save
¶ whose arms restrained the restless wave
¶ who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
¶ its own appointed bounds to keep
¶ we cry, o father, majesty
¶ for those in peril on the sea ¶
Cali was my best friend.
My roommate.
My inspiration.
If ever someone was put on this planet for
the sole purpose of caring for others,
it was Cali mills.
We got us some tourist in town.
Where? A block from the house.
Black panel Van.
How many? Couldn't see. Tinted windows.
Okay.
Hi. Hi.
Asha. Right.
Sorry. Um...
I just wanted to tell you
that Cali never stopped talking about you.
Her war hero brother.
She probably made a lot more of that than it actually was.
You realize what you said in the service there makes you family now?
It was okay.
Are you kidding?
I don't know how to thank you, dear.
Please know it was my honor.
Hey, mom, whose Van is that out there?
I don't know I've never seen it before.
Why? Excuse me.
Hey!
Looking for me? Here I am.
Anything you wanna tell me?
This is my fault.
Cali's dead because of me.
Your fault how?
They weren't random psychos on that train, dad.
They were professionals. Hired killers.
So, cops, FBI, they're all wrong?
They're hiding the truth.
Why would they lie? I don't know, dad.
All I do know is I'm not gonna risk you and mom getting caught up in this, too.
Dad: Let's just take
Talk to Gerald Roberts. Have him post a police detail outside this house.
Front and back, 24 hours a day.
And tell him what?
Tell him what i just told you.
And tell him to keep it to himself.
Make something up.
A couple of days at least.
Where are you going?
This is for you and mom.
I didn't know when would be a good time to give it to you.
But now...
Tell mom bye.
Tell her I'm sorry, and I'm gonna...
You're gonna what?
Your mother can't lose you, too, son.
I understand that, dad.
Phone tracker's active.
On the move.
Devil's advocate.
Make it quick.
Why can't we tell him what we're doing?
Operational security.
We don't know anything about him.
Vlasik: We know a little.
Christina: Not enough. Don't we have a moral duty?
Okay, now you're boring me.
Moral duty to what?
To tell him we're using him as bait to flush out "El carnicero"?
This is mills' life we're playing with.
Knowing what we now know from the surviving gunman...
Which is?
I already covered that.
One more time, just for me.
Carlos meija contracted a hit on Brian mills' sister
so mills can feel the same pain
meija felt after his son was killed.
Now he's hired mercenaries to bring mills to him alive.
See what you did there? You left out the most important part.
Using mills gives us our best opportunity in ten years
to take meija alive.
Our only opportunity.
And if he's working with terrorists now,
the only moral duty we have is to find out who they are,
where they are and stop them.
[Man speaking indistinctly]
Let him go. Now!
Man: We got him.
He's home.

What's up?
When are you shooting this shot?
Bryan: Excuse me for looking out for my little sister.
All grown up now, thanks.
[Boys chatting]
John: Mama, this is papa. Comm check.
Got you. Just turn the cam comm up.
John: I'm in now. Wait up.
Christina: Roger, standing by.
John: Same Van that did a drive by minutes ago.
We got us two tourists.
Man and a woman.
Looks like we have a ball game.
Weapon.
Weapons. Two.
Plus silencer, so I'm thinking heckler & koch.
Christina: Papa, this is mama. Hold position. Do not engage.
Say again. Do not engage.
[Doorbell rings]
John: He just took two down.
Damn, he got out.
Who are you?
Who sent you?
Come on.
John: Tourists heading home.
I'm moving in.
Mills' still in the house, moving around the back.
Wait out.
I'll tell you this. Dude's got some skills.
[Tap running]
Bryan: Let him go!
I got you, Mike.
I got you.
[Upbeat music playing]
Daddy, you're sweating like a pig.
[Grunting]
Someone's calling you.
Oh.
Oh, there is a god after all.
Sorry, sweetheart, it's work.
Bryan? Where are you right now?
I'm at home. Why?
Lianne with you?
You need to get out of there, both of you.
Right now.
DEA agent Mike hall.
Bryan: You there? Mike: Yeah.
If they're coming at me, it's only a matter of time
before they come for you, too,
if they are not already.
Who... who's coming at you?
So, the shooters on the train, they were...
And they just tried again, this time at my house.
Yeah, one in the leg. I'll be okay.
It went straight through.
Where are you?
Some motel in Jersey.
I'm coming to get you.
No. Just get lianne to safety.
I can make a call, send a team.
No team. This is on me.
Mike: That's insane.
Just tell me you're putting your daughter in a car right now.
Okay, fine. No buts. Go.
Bye.
[Cell phone vibrating]
He's getting a call.
Not according to this he's not.
It's not his phone. Must be another one.
[Cell phone vibrates]
[Cell phone ringing]
That's his phone.
Incoming call. 703 area code.
You and lianne on the road yet?
You know, I can't just leave you hanging out there.
Bryan: I told you. Don't worry about me.
Mike: It's not happening, buddy.
No can do.
Four years undercover with these bastards.
I know how they think.
All right. Motel biscayne.
Route 202, junction 7.
Okay. Give me five hours.
I'll call you when I'm 30 minutes out.
[Cell phone vibrates]
We think out loud here.
You're not at Langley anymore.
Mills just told him his daughter's life is in danger,
and he's more worried about mills than he's about her?
Rescue team 3. Rescue team 3.
They got you calling in.
Stand by.
He's on the move again.
"K"?
How long have you been their bitch?
I don't expect you to understand.
Bet you already switched sides back when you were undercover.
Understand? Is that what you just said?
Look, I'm sorry about your sister.
But they threatened to kill my daughter.
My daughter, Bryan. Lianne.
You really wanna know when my cover was blown?
When you and the Colombians screwed pooch on that raid.
Where is he?
Are you serious?
You honestly think I know where Carlos meija is?
I think you can do better than that.
My only contact with the cartel is a lawyer.
Where? New York.
You'll get us there, then.
Who's that?
You didn't think they'd be all over my ass, too?
Who do you think you're dealing with here, Bryan?
The exit is that way.
We're not getting out of here alive, you know that, right?
I need your tie. What?
Your tie.
How long do you think you can keep running, Bryan?
A day, two? A week?
One man against the resources of the entire cartel?
Interesting. What?
They're not shooting.
[Indistinct dispatch chatter]
Hey, hey. Where are you going?
You can't go down there.
[Train chugging]
You never met my sister, did you?
She was something, let me tell you.
Beautiful.
Kind.
Smart.
I pray you never have to make the kind of choice i had to make.
I mean that, Bryan.
My advice, don't ever have kids.
Especially not a daughter.
On the third rail.
Don't want to hear it.
I just want you gone.
Pretty sure you've been told I'm paying a debt.
To take me alive.
Or I'd be dead by now.
I'm not spending the rest of my life running from you people.
I'm throwing down my weapon now.
Not good.
You mean, the phone?
Bad news.
Do I know you?
They took your daughter.
The cartel.
How do you know?
You really wanna stand here wasting time
talking about everything we know?
Get your phone out, numbnuts.
Your phone. Get it out now.
That was her school calling you.
Seven times.
Patch in Echelon action NSA and FBI.
Langley, info only.
Done. Done.
And almost done.
Okay. Make the call.
This is your one shot to get her back.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
[Phone ringing]
Here we go.
Agent hall. To what do i owe the pleasure?
They took my daughter.
Excuse me?
You heard.
I did everything that was asked of me.
Hold on, hold on. This is not a secure line.
You're gonna call your client and get my daughter back.
Right now.
Or I hand myself in and you're in a rikers' jumpsuit by tonight.
Now what?
We're the ones who took your daughter.
You on the other hand, we could stick a fork in.
[Phone ringing]
Yeah?
I need to talk to my client.
He's not here yet.
What's his eta?
Imminent.
Meaning? Soon.
Thank you. I meant...
He's in the air.
Okay.
Don't hang up. Just a couple more seconds.
Are you on radio contact?
Strict radio silence. He contacts me first.
Why? There a problem?
Potentially.
Will you break radio silence if I say yes?
Well, this wouldn't turn on the lights on the runway.
Is that what you're saying I should do?
Got it.
Just have him call me when he lands.
Eyes and ears on the lawyer. Re-route all calls.
You killed my son.
And you killed my sister.
Yes.
Yes, I did.
Give me the 22 blade.
Your son died
holding a gun to the head of a DEA agent.
My sister died defenseless.
And innocent.
So what kind of a man, i wonder,
does that make you?
Just as I figured.
But I had to see it for myself.
The eyes of a coward.
[Helicopter whirring]
Man: Take him down, now.
Man: Hurry up!
Back off!
Back off!
Back off, or he dies.
I'm already dead. Take him down.
He can't.
Can you?
I'm no use to them dead.
Do it now. Let him go.
He killed my son!
For my sister.
John: Mama, this is papa. Target secured.
Alive and kicking. Over.
Christina: Mama, Roger. What about mills?
Over.
Christina: Those are ice chips in that blue cup.
You were at my sister's funeral.
Yes. I was.
Who are you?
The man who shot you works for me.
Where am I?
Buffalo presbyterian trauma wing.
Do you understand why you were shot?
He killed my sister.
My name is Christina hart.
I'm a deputy director with special portfolio
at the office of the director of national intelligence.
You used me.
I report to the director of national intelligence,
the national security council and the president.
And now you're gonna tell me none of this ever happened.
My portfolio
is an emergency covert action team.
Who shot me?
Who saved your life?
Tell me what you believe in, Bryan.
Because what I see is a man who is wired to protect others.
It's how you're built.
It's who you are.
It's why you tackled those gunmen on the train in the first place,
to protect those 93 other passengers
in that car.
I just did what I did.
But when you failed to protect your own sister...
Who the hell are you to...
Tell me that's not how you felt.
It's how I still feel.
Listen, taking Carlos meija alive
is vital to national security.
But acting on the intelligence that he will share with us,
make no mistake, is where we're really gonna earn our money.
You're recruiting me.
And if I say no?
Yeah, you're right. None of this ever happened.
And Cali died for nothing.
