Taken (2017–2018): Season 1, Episode 2 - Ready - full transcript

Bryan gets his first chance in the field, but it results in a tragic death when the mission goes bust.

You're on close Recon on this.

That's your only job.

Once you done that, you
pull your ass out of there,

and meet us at the staging
area, a mile to the east.

Then me, Scott, Dave and Rem,

not you,

move in and get the hostage.

Any questions?

I'm good.

No such thing as a stupid question.

I'm ready.



Help me.

Help me, Bryan.

Help me.

I'm your sister. Help me, Bryan.

Help me... me...

What's your only job?

Close Recon.

Any questions?

I'm good.

Bravo, this is Zero.
Contact. Contact. Wait out.

We're pinned down under enemy fire.

You're the hostage's only chance now.

Go get the hostage.

I say again, go get the hostage.



Now!

Help me, Bryan!

Bryan!

Help me!

Help me, Bryan. I'm your sister.

Bryan!

Stop!

Bryan, stop!

Enough! It's over! Stop!

What are you doing?

You're safe now!

You're safe!

- I'm getting the hostage!
- What are you doing?

- You could have killed that guy.
- What's going on with you, man?

This is training. He's
not a real terrorist.

He's Delta Force playing a terrorist!

I got the hostage.

Easy. We got this.

Something's wrong with you, pal.

In the head.

Let's just say he's still
a work in progress.

Somebody call an ambulance!

I'm a doctor! Let me through,
please. Let me through!

I'm sorry.

Is this Senator Wilkes?

Yes.

Hey, what's going on? Where you going?

Need to know.

Come on, let's go! Let's go!

Need to know, my ass. Where?

Ukraine.

In, out, back in 48 hours.

Your buddy Carlos Mejia gave up

a Russian gunrunner in Ukraine.

Colorado Springs has
confirmed dedicated eyes

over the target area in Ukraine,

as soon as the satellite
repositions and reconfigures

from its Sevastopol coordinates

in approximately seven hours from now.

OPs?

Yep.

What?

Senator Wilkes? How?

I got the hostage.

And then you snapped.

Six terrorists. I took
out six terrorists.

Heat of the moment,
call it what you like.

At the very least, it was a
momentary break with reality.

You understand on active operations

any team member who is not
100%, mentally and physically,

is a liability to the others?

Yes.

I'm aware of that.

Bryan,

do you honestly expect me to believe

that you are not still deeply affected

by your sister's murder,

and by the fact that
her killer, Carlos Mejia,

is still alive?

You manufactured that whole scenario...

It's called training.

You made sure the hostage resembled...

Excuse me, but senator...

- My sister so you could exploit...
- Don't say that.

It's not a weakness.

I was gonna say grief.

It's a wound.

And like all wounds,
it takes time to heal.

So now you're just gonna
make me ride a desk.

What?

Senator Wilkes just died.

What? How?

It's not official, but
we're hearing heart attack.

Heart attack?

Thought you'd want to know.

Yeah, thanks.

Ride a desk? Yeah.

Ride a desk, along with
a whole lot more training,

until I say you're ready,

starting with this Ukraine OP.

Do you have a problem with that?

Copy that. The perimeter's
been secured.

This is eagle, this is eagle,
joining in with bravo.

Zero, this is Alpha, moving in now.

Coming your way also...

Grenade!

Grenade!

Be advised, grenade in the area.

Copy that.

Romeo, you're up.

Target's not in the house.

Get down!

We have the target.

Stand by for ID confirmation.

Connecting through to Carlos Mejia now.

That him?

Yes, that's him.

ID confirmed.

_

_

_

This is ridiculous.

Can we just go back to
a regular coffee maker?

Okay, so it's really simple.

- You just pour the water in here.
- Yeah.

And then make sure...

And then, you... I mean, you
don't have to do anything.

_

I just want a cup of coffee.

- Get your gear.
- What?

The others aren't here, they're not back

from the Ukraine OP yet,
and we have a situation.

So now you're up to bat, come
on. This is happening right now.

You'll move in the last three
miles on foot, covertly.

First couple miles, woods
and good tree cover.

Last mile is an industrial
zone, mostly abandoned.

Apart from some docks a
mile and half to the east,

everything else is pretty
much abandoned now.

We'll need you in position by dawn.

I will be at the chimney
tower at 7:00 a.m.

What's the threat?

Clara Ward, CIA.

Known her since we were in
Mogadishu together 15 years ago.

Now she's sending me
an emergency message

from a stolen phone, calling me to

one of our old dead letter drops.

This from one of the best
intelligence officers I know

who, believe me, has never
been one to cry wolf.

We have eyes.

In position.

Here she comes.

Someone's in the building.

That's our girl.

Staying in cover.

Get in.

You all right?

I need to keep moving, Christina.

There's no one here. It's just us.

Senator Wilkes didn't
die of a heart attack.

He was poisoned.

And those same people,
they are coming after me.

What people?

Five more seconds and I'm
leaving with or without you.

I said get in.

What's she doing?

That wasn't the plan.

She's getting in the car.

Wilkes was assassinated because of

some intelligence that
I shared with him.

Wait, you went round
Langley and straight to

the Senate Intelligence Committee?

I didn't know who to trust.

Tell me I can trust you, Christina.

You still report to
the President, right?

And the Special Security Council, yes.

- We're losing, Christina.
- Losing what?

Greed and corruption are
taking over in this country

and we are becoming our own worst ene...

Get the shooter!

My god.

I got you. I'm just gonna
put pressure on it.

Help is coming. Help is coming.

Move your hand. It's okay, it's okay.

I got it. I got it.

I got it.

For...

What?

F... fort.

Fort.

We have to get out of here.

I just... I just need a minute.

We gotta get out of here.

I said I just need a minute!

Did you get him?

Don't move.

She's been hit.

You get the vehicle?

You get the nearest hospital on GPS.

Come on, let's move.

Did you get him?

- One, two, get up.
- No.

- Crash team standing by?
- Front entrance.

Almost there.

- Security detail?
- Riley's still working on it.

Harry...

- Clara's...
- We got a local FBI security detail.

Quiet!

I can't hear her. She's
trying to say something.

Her husband.

Harry Ward.

What about him?

I... I need to...

I Ne... it's vital.

- Can't you go any faster?
- Vital.

One minute away.

Harry Ward. Okay.

Pulse is 130.

Pressure's 90/60.

Respirations are at 34.

Sat levels are dropping.

How the hell did he do that?

Ride and shoot at the same time?

I mean, how did he get the picture?

That.

Luck.

And a healthy dose of

good, old-fashioned American nuts.

- If by nuts, you mean...
- Crazy.

He means crazy.

Good job.

Let me see that.

What's the word on the boss?

She got hit in the left
side of her abdomen

and lost a lot of blood.

But because it was a ricochet

and had decelerated
sufficiently before impact,

it didn't penetrate far enough

to hit any major organs.

He's here.

Send him in.

Mr. Ward. Becca Vlasik.

- I'm very sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

Do you mind if I ask you
what you've been told so far?

That my wife is dead.

And Christina was with her.

And I'd know more once I got here.

Your wife was shot

by a sniper.

In Kentucky.

We believe it's connected
to Senator Wilkes' death.

That was a heart...

Did Clara ever mention
anything about a fort to you?

No. I don't think so.

It... it could be part of a larger word,

like fortify, fortitude...

I don't know.

Why do you ask?

She tried to tell us something.

When she...

That was her last word?

Fort?

Yeah.

We believe that might help us find out

who killed your wife and why.

You know what they don't
tell you about non-fat?

More sugar. Kid you not.

Look it up.

I need a name to a face.

One of ours?

I really hope not.

But I am hoping that if
he's on anyone's radar,

it's Langley's.

Might take a few hours.

- Asha, hey.
- Sorry.

I probably should have called.

Your mom gave me your new address.

I hope you don't mind.

I only wanted you to have these.

The letters and pictures
you sent Cali from the war.

Sorry, come in.

Can I ask you a question, Bryan?

How come Cali was the only...

I mean, 93 other people
in that train car,

and she's the only one who was killed?

It was crazy.

I know.

I miss her so, so much.

Yeah.

If you ever need to talk...

Yeah, I'd like that.

But I gotta tell you,

talking's not really my...

Strong point.

My cell's on the back.

You're an attorney?

Environmental. Small firm.

Speaking of which, I should
get back to the office now.

Of course, um...

Thanks for these. And this.

- Bye, Bryan.
- Bye.

Greed and corruption are
taking over in this country...

Get the shooter!

Shooter's name is William Davis.

Ex special forces, now freelance.

Lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.

- Freelance for who?
- Unknown.

His tracks are well covered.

- But definitely not Langley.
- Correct.

Gonna need his building
and neighborhood schematics.

Done.

You ready now?

'Cause this bastard's no use to us dead.

We need to take him alive.

I'm ready.

How we gonna take him?

Alive.

Let's go.

4th floor, two windows
in front, street views.

Plus, one window in the
back and a fire escape.

We smoke him out, front to back.

Scott and I will take the front.

Rem and Dave, back door on my command.

- And me?
- You man the radio,

keep the motor running, watch and learn.

Harry.

- I'm so...
- Don't say it.

I'm right on the edge as it is.

Thank you for coming.

What was Clara doing in Kentucky?

I don't know.

No. Sorry.

- I need to talk to him.
- You need to rest.

Sir.

- Where did you think she was?
- What?

Come on, now, please.

Just a minute. Okay?

I owe you one, by the way.

For the grenade thing.

What grenade thing?

He saved my ass from a grenade
during the Ukraine OP.

How'd he do that? He wasn't even there.

Okay, move now.

Stay frosty, Bro.

If you didn't know
Clara was in Kentucky,

- where did you think she was?
- Syria.

Turkey.

That whole mess.

Wait, wait.

Fort.

- What?
- Fort.

The woman who you work with...

- Vlasik.
- Yeah.

She said that was... That
was Clara's last word.

Fort.

Yes, it was.

Fort.

Fortunata.

I-I might have overheard
her say that on the phone

a couple of times. Fortunata.

Do you remember the context?

I think I thought it was a restaurant.

Three-motion tumbler and deadbolt.

What's going on?

The nurse is calling in
the cavalry out there.

I'm discharging myself.
I need my clothes.

Give me your phone.

My clothes.

Right. Hold on.

Yeah, patch me through to Langley.

Remember, we take him alive.

Romeo-Delta, Roger.

There's an elevator. He's going down.

Hold position, Romeo-Delta.
Cover the alley and street.

Wait... stop!

- How the hell'd he get there?
- Went down to go up.

He's on the roof!

There! There! Come on!

Can we shoot him soon?

This is Bravo. Do you copy?

What do you need?

Davis is heading west on Pine.

He can't keep going
on like this for long.

When he runs out of gas,

he's gonna need an escape vehicle.

There's a parking structure on 32nd,

- right next to a freeway on-ramp.
- Corner of 32nd and Dogwood.

Got him.

Aah!

No, no, no!

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure

we talked about taking him alive.

He's moving.

Kinda.

Hey, you can't park that here.

Get your asses in gear.

- What happened?
- He fell off a building.

In a helmet?

Come on.

Davis, radio check.

Davis, are you there?

Send sitrep.

Bravo, this is Romeo.

Send.

Looks like he called for backup.

And they're tuned in to all
emergency service frequencies.

Be on the lookout for tourists

who may want to cut their losses

and kill Davis before he can talk.

- I'll go with him to the or.
- You cover the ground floor.

Yeah, I guess I could have Dave do it.

- He just came off break.
- Everyone stays out of sight

and behind closed doors, got it?

Stand by.

We got company.

Four tourists.

Two at the elevator.

Other two heading toward east
wing and emergency stairs.

Roger. Standing by.

What's your name?

Germany.

Really?

Yeah.

Tell your buddies no heroics, Germany.

Copy that, Lucas is,
still on the street.

We just lost the cameras.

- Where's the power source?
- Basement.

Hey, Germany, you need to
listen to me very carefully.

I want you to call me
back on this channel.

- In 30 seconds.
- Not before, I repeat, not before.

This is Base. Radio check, over?

Hello?

Do you copy, over?

We just lost power up here.

Bravo, this is Delta.

We just lost the tourists.

Bravo, Roger.

Wait out.

Wait. This patient's going to the OR.

Sorry, Davis.

You're a liability now.

You'll understand.

Who are you?

John Doe. Who are you?

- You can't do this.
- Do what?

Where are we?

On a boat.

Ship.

A boat where?

Ship.

You murdered Senator Bridger Wilkes

and a personal friend
of mine, Clara Ward.

No, I did not.

That is not true.

Well, maybe not you personally,

but the organization you work for.

We're just soldiers.

Soldiers?

Then act like one.

Operation Fortunata.

What about it?

Then you've heard of it?

I didn't say that.

Yeah, you did.

He did, didn't he?

We know you're private contractors.

Mercenaries.

Hired by the un against, I might add,

the advice of the U.S.
Government, hired to protect

foreign NGO and humanitarian aid workers

who are trying to help
the Syrian refugees.

I'd have thought private contractors

make enough money from
other people's misery.

But your bosses

couldn't resist the endless flow

of the desperate and the dispossessed.

What are you talking about?

Human trafficking.

She's talking about human trafficking.

- What?
- Selling refugees,

mainly women and children
to slavery and sex trade.

That's got nothing to do with us.

But everything to do
with who you work for.

And that's what Clara
Ward, a CIA officer,

who was also stationed in the area,

found out and shared
with Senator Wilkes.

Soldiers?

Soldiers fight for their country.

What you mean is you just follow orders.

For money.

Who gave the order

to murder Senator Wilkes and Clara Ward?

We can't do this?

Well, all I can say to
you is here we are,

and we're doing it.

And the last one of you two to tell me

who gave the order to murder my friend

never sees dry land again.

- Wait, come back!
- I'll talk!

Who was first?

Christina.

How are you?

You're probably gonna want to leave now,

'cause in about 30 seconds, Kent here

will appear to have a
severe heart attack.

Unless the paramedics can
get here in record time,

he'll die.

But what in fact has happened,

so you know,

is he just consumed a poison in his wine

that the private military
company he owns and operates

has developed as a weapon

against his enemies across the world

and which he used
to kill Senator Wilkes.

Clara Ward says hi.

Please... please...

I want a full confession,
no details spared.

Yes.

Go ahead. Give it to him.

So the FBI get to take
all the credit for this?

We call it gift wrapping.

Sometimes it's the CIA who gets credit.

Or JSOC or whoever.

We never take any credit for what we do

because we don't exist.

Thank you all for what you did on this.

Just doing our job.

It was a little more than that.

- Honestly, though...
- God, here we go.

- Hey...
- Here we go.

You don't even know what I'm gonna say.

Okay, go right ahead.

Cue the music.

- Shut up.
- Just say it already.

I don't think we could have

pulled it off without the new guy.

What the hell.

To the new guy.

Hold on a second.

You guys need to know something.

I'm still a little messed
up by my sister's murder.

A little?

Really?

We hadn't noticed.

Man, we all got ghosts.

But I appreciate you telling us.

I do.

To what makes us stronger.

Thanks for coming.

Of course.

Is everything all right?

I owe you an apology, Asha.

For what?

I lied to you before, the other day.

You did?

You knew that.

Maybe.

And you deserve better.

Is everything all right, Bryan?

I need to show you something.

What is...

Who is that?

Carlos Mejia.

The drug cartel boss?

The man who killed Cali,

because of me.

What?

What?

Where is he?

Why do you even have this?

Bryan,

what are you planning to do?
