Taken (2017–2018): Season 2, Episode 11 - Password - full transcript

Bryan and his team suspect that an innocent man is being framed for a bombing incident.

By 5:00 p.m. today,

The D.C. City Council will
finally have a deal in place

for a new football stadium.

We'll be invoking eminent domain

to relocated the Little India
shopping district.

But the shop owners will be

extremely well compensated
for their land.

In return, the people of the city

will get a brand-new stadium
paid for by the owners

and not you, the taxpayers.

However, many residents of Little India



are refusing to go down without a fight.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Table five.
- Right away.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You need to sell.

The city's willing to offer
twice the value of this place.

I don't think you understand
what a good deal you have here.

Vijay-uncle, please.

I don't know how many times

we can say the issue isn't money.

It's about pride
in our community, our identity.

But nobody's talking about that.

What that boy needs
is a nice Indian girl.

I tell him every morning at breakfast.



♪ ♪

Councilman Torres
sounded confident today,

but his big stadium deal
will never happen

unless the people of Little India

agree to sell their land.

Steve from Fairfax, you're on the air.

Yeah, I think they should be grateful

just to live in this country.

Take the money and get
the hell out of the damn way.

In your dreams, dumb-ass.

And that, my friend,
is how you play Conquian.

What's the matter, Mills, hmm?

You never been cleaned up
by a woman before?

- Not like this.
- Well, get used to it.

My grandpa taught me this game
when I was seven.

Kilroy's running late,
but we can start without him.

Does that mean we have a low-tech case?

Actually, we don't have a case.

I thought you guys could use a break.

I want you guys fresh for our next job.

I think she's trying to say

we could use a mental-health break.

An Amtrak ticket to Providence.

Well, you owe your parents
a visit, Bryan.

No, really, you shouldn't have.

- It'll be good for you.
- I insist.

A weekend at the Four Seasons

with room service and an in-room massage.

Check-in's at 10:00, massage is at noon.

- Wow, a mandatory massage.
- That sounds relaxing.

- Well, I can cancel it.
- Oh, hell, no.

What did you get Kilroy?

Speaking of mental-health breaks.

Well, I think Kilroy
would be the first to tell you

it's none of your business.

- Mr. Kilroy.
- What brings you in?

Tattoo, uh, removal.

Right, uh, above my, uh, heart.

- Okay, let's have a look.
- Uh, well, first date, Doc.

So I'd just like to ask a few questions

before you know, I get, de-nuded.

Can you describe the tattoo for me?

- You know, writing.
- Just a black script.

Um, a name...
Lexi, for whatever it's worth.

- Lexi, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

- First love?
- First wife?

- So what do you think?
- Can you make a clean lift?

Well, without seeing the tattoo first,

I would recommend a creative cover-up.

Ink leaves a mark either way.

Like it or not,
it's a part of you forever.

- I got Vik from Little India.
- You're on the air.

I guess I'm just a little sick and tired

of hearing Indians being called selfish.

What's selfish about wanting
to keep your own property?

Councilman Torres has offered to pay

double the land value, right?

He is prioritizing money
over culture, and that's wrong.

Like it or not, Little India
isn't going anywhere.

This entire area
is now an active crime scene.

I want authorized personnel only.

If you do not belong here, please leave.

All right, look,
I'm just going to come out

and say what everybody else suspects.

This is a targeted act of terrorism.

- Already?
- Based on what?

32 minutes ago, this guy, Vikram Desai,

tweeted Councilman Torres...

"You dug your own grave,
and now I'll see you in hell."

I suspect he went up,
and he died in the blast.

How did all 17 intelligence agencies

miss this threat?

- I don't know.
- That's a great question.

I mean, there were
exactly zero indicators

that this bombing was going
to take place,

and yet, this case against this Desai guy

has been gaining momentum by the second.

This threat against Torres has
been retweeted 12,000 times.

There's already a photo that's
been circulating on Reddit

of Desai walking into
the high-rise 20 minutes ago

carrying two bags,
which could either look

completely suspicious or totally normal,

depending on which theory
you're trying to prove.

This is all happening too fast.

Yeah, less than an hour ago,
Desai was on the radio railing

against Councilman Torres'
stadium proposal.

I guess I'm just a little sick and tired

of hearing Indians being called selfish.

So, somehow, this thing has gone

completely viral on Twitter.

It's like somebody knew

that Desai was going
to bomb Torres today.

Then why didn't we?

Who's Sunil Tripathi?

He just happens to be the guy

who was wrongly accused

I hacked into the building's
security cameras.

This poor bastard's alive.

But, you know, I'm not so sure he did it.

What do you mean?

I mean, his... his identity was taken

in order to make it look like he did.

That threatening tweet,
his hostile Facebook page,

even his recent financial history...

it's all been completely fabricated.

- Can you prove it?
- I can't, not yet.

I mean, whoever...
whoever orchestrated this

is a sickly talented hacker.

I mean, this Vik guy's got six months

of incriminating history

that simply didn't exist
20 minutes ago, okay?

Now it's everywhere.

This whole thing is a giant, elaborate,

and, might I add, exquisite illusion.

Is... is it weird to say that I'm
a little jealous of the effort?

So how can we find out
who really did this?

For starters, I'd look for
the guys trying to kill Vik.

He was probably supposed
to die up there, you know?

The frame works
a lot better if he's dead.

You can't claim innocence
if you're not alive to talk.

You could put it that way as well.

Who are these guys?

- Elim crew's coming in now.
- Definitely not cops.

You stay out here.

Feds just shut down this whole block.

We're gonna need an exit strategy.

Details from the tenth floor are hazy.

Crowding and chaos in the stairwells

are making it difficult for first
responders to assess the damage.

It's slow going on the stairs, Kilroy.

This guy's going to be dead
by the time I get to him.

I wouldn't sweat it.

The bad guys are in the same
traffic jam as you are.

They got a head start,
and I got to get there first.

Yeah, but what they don't
have is a hacker hookup

who can power up the freight elevator.

You said their hacker was exquisite.

Compared to regular guys,
but, uh, compared to me,

I mean, you know, come on.

Exit the stairs on the third floor.

I'm sorry.

You're just never ready for it
when it happens on your watch.

Any word on casualties, Madame Mayor?

Nothing verified,

but unofficially there might be six dead.

And Oscar Torres might be one of them.

For what it's worth,
you showed real courage

and leadership on the plaza.

It's what the public needs now

and what the public will remember later.

Thank you, but my
professional performance review

is not a priority at this moment.

And I'm sorry, Bob,
neither is your stadium deal,

- if that's what you're here for.
- Oh, not at all, ma'am.

I'm here to support you
and the people of this city.

I absolutely agree, the stadium
is not the priority right now.

Well, it can't be.

The optics just don't support it.

I'm on my cell.

The stadium plan better
damn well be a priority.

We're two years into
very complicated negotiations.

- Relax, Bob.
- The mayor is in crisis mode.

But let's take a beat.

As far as optics,
this could be a blessing.

Give it a month or two.

The public just might see

the new stadium as a symbol
of civic resilience.

The stadium dies, the terrorists win?

Are you kidding me, Hanson?

In pure political terms,

this horrific tragedy
becomes a big win for you.

Not really. The stadium
ceased being a big win for me

when your boy Torres
cut off my public funding.

You told me this would be a steal.

And now I'm paying
for the whole damn thing.

You sure about that, Bob?

I saw the contract this morning.

You saw Torres' contract.

But what if I told you Torres'
replacement on the City Council

will support public funding

of 50% of your stadium cost?

That really a possibility?

I'm picking his replacement myself.

What's in this for you?

Between us,

I'm a silent partner
on the entertainment complex

that's going up next to the stadium.

The Torres plan cut the public funding

for the entertainment complex as well.

Trust me, this whole horror show

is a golden opportunity for both of us.

Torres' private financing plan
just died up there

with Oscar Torres.

- Suspect's this way?

Not yet, at least.

- It doesn't really matter...

[CLEARS THROAT] What you did
or you didn't actually do.

Vikram, what matters
is what the evidence shows.

And what the evidence
overwhelmingly shows

is that you planned and executed

a vicious bomb attack
against Councilman Torres

with callous disregard
for collateral damage.

Hmm.

It is hard for me to convey in mere words

precisely how screwed you are.

You recognize this guy?

- That's me.
- I'm inside Muth's Hardware.

I'm making a lunch delivery.

No, you're buying
bomb-making materials...

specifically soldering wire,
fuses, and a burner phone.

- That's ridiculous.
- Here's a receipt

and a credit card statement
from the purchase,

time-stamped only moments
after this picture was taken.

I didn't buy any of that stuff.

And yet, there's a history
of six similar purchases

at six different hardware stores,

as well as a receipt

to an all-nude gentlemen's club
for some reason.

This just keeps getting
better and better.

For the record, Vikram,
I totally believe you, okay?

Also, for the record,
I'm a convicted felon.

So, you know, don't get
too excited about that.

I-I-I was only there to deliver lunch.

Don't tell me... they used
an online ordering system

or, you know, an app?

Oh, God, they erased them, right?

No record of the orders

makes it look like
I went there on my own.

Here's the deal.

This guy, right? He's freakishly good.

But not as good
as I think he thinks he is.

Does this name mean anything to you?

- Elorenz.
- I'm clearly talking to him.

- Elorenz. No.
- Why?

Because I think he's the
hacker, and that's his handle.

And it's buried in all this code, right?

In all these hacks, it repeats itself

like a CRISPR sequence.

It's basically like a hacker signature.

- How did you find it?
- What do you mean?

It's what I do, you know.

You do your thing. I do my thing.

You know, it's not "Elorenz," guys.

It's E. Lorenz, as in Edward Lorenz.

So are we going to go
after this guy or what?

I don't have enough information.

can we do to change that?

What can we... just... I'm trying

Okay, all right, let's think.

they were going after Torres, right?

Yeah, that was their
intended target, sure.

Okay, so what... eh, what's
it called when, uh...

You were from a fishing village...

you know, when you fish with dead bait?

- Chumming.
- You see where I'm going with this?

I want you to get Santana and go chumming

at St. Mary's Hospital.

- You stay here with Kilroy.

I'm gonna get my fishing rod

is we're going to manipulate
Oscar Torres' medical records.

He's alive, but
he's in critical condition.

He's losing blood, a lot of it.
AB-negative blood.

Next thing we're going to do
is, as a safety precaution,

the hospital is going
to clear a room for him

in the VIP wing, usually reserved

for high-level government officials,

dignitaries, rich Saudis
that want to pay with cash,

that kind of thing.

Finally, we are going to kick-start

a volunteer blood drive

because hospitals need blood anyway.

And you know what, dude?
We're good people.

We have just a quick update
on our investigation.

We have more survivors than expected.

Unfortunately, the hospital
is low on blood supply.

So, if anybody wants to help
and donate blood,

they should go to St. Mary's Hospital,

especially if they have AB-negative.

AB-negative blood
is the rarest type of blood,

and we are particularly short
on that supply.

Okay, that's it.
No more questions. Thank you.

Torres might still be alive?

Yeah. No, I get it, it's like
FarmersOnly, but for Indians.

What's FarmersOnly?

You know, for what it's worth, Shafali,

you know, seemed pretty...
you know, she seemed nice.

I mean, she seems...
you know, she's fake, but...

Yeah. She was the first
profile I reached out to.

Smart, funny, ambitious,

you know, dated non-Indians,
but was open on Maahi

because she wanted
to make her parents happy,

just like me.

Almost too good to be true, huh?

We were going to meet up in a month.

- Dude, I am so sorry.
- That is brutal.

[KEYS CLACKING]

On the upside, you may
just get your chance.

Seems like your fake girlfriend

paid for this bogus dating account

with the same stolen credit card he used

to pay for a pound of
chocolate-covered coffee beans

a couple of weeks ago,
sent to this address in D.C.

Do you think he's still there?

Maybe, but not for long.

Different stolen credit card
associated with the same address

just paid for a ticket to Berlin.

- We got to go.
- Me? I'm a wanted man.

Dude, but I'm not leaving you
in the SCIF, so...

What about someone else from the team?

Look, I could lie to you,

I want to look this hacker in the eye.

I just found out who elorenz is.

And you can either believe me now,

But the facts are the facts, David.

Somebody hired this company
to set off that bomb today,

and you are just enough of a monster

- Is there a problem here, sir?

So what, is he going to
kill me in the parking lot?

The story doesn't die with me, David.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

She's so my type.

Let me be very clear here.

Vikram Desai is 100% innocent
of this crime.

He's the victim
of an elaborate identity theft,

intended to make him look guilty.

This man...

John Michael Morse
is our monster in question.

He was a disgruntled lone wolf,
an Army veteran,

who furiously opposed

Councilman Torres' policies
on veteran housing.

Now, Mr. Morris worked
very hard to frame Vikram

for these attacks before
he himself died in the blast.

We have recovered
his cell phone in the rubble,

which contains a wealth
of incriminating evidence

and information.

Now, I can take a few questions.

[REPORTERS SHOUTING]

The stadium is dead, gentlemen.

I hope you understand
my decision. It's too fraught.

Emotions are running high
right now, ma'am,

but people forget.

Think about Chavez Ravine in I.A.

When the Mexicans
were booted from their homes

to build Dodger Stadium,

folks thought that community
would never support the team.

Have you seen the size of the crowds

at a Dodger game lately?

People forget, Madame Mayor.

Not everyone, and certainly not me.

- The team needs a new stadium.
- I know.

And we'll build one soon.

And when we do, I promise you this.

We're not paying for it. You are.

Little India stays.
