The Event (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 3 - Protect Them from the Truth - full transcript
President Martinez's administration unveils a tough new strategy to force Sophia to reveal the detainees' plan, putting into play a new detainee, Maya. Elsewhere, we learn that Vicky and Carter are in possession of a crucial hostage. FBI Agent Collier's suspicion grows deeper.
In 1944,
an aircraft crashed
in the Brooks
Mountain Range of Alaska.
These survivors
were determined to be
not of terrestrial origin.
SOPHIA: My people
saved your life.
Sophia, how many more
of you are out there?
SIMON: I need to know
about the plane, Thomas.
You were supposed
to set it down unharmed.
Really?
MICHAEL: Leila knew
who was holding her,
called her Vicky.
You have to go now!
AGENT: Agent Lee,
you need to see this!
They're dead, sir.
Every Iast one of them.
(GROANS)
(SCREAMS)
That's far enough,
Mr. Walker.
You're under arrest
for the murder
of Greg Kervin.
You can do this.
One, two...
SEAN: Wait a second,
wait a second.
I came this way.
What?
I recognize those
mountains from when I
was Iost in the desert.
They're blocking the road
because of the plane.
Of course.
No.
That's where we Ianded,
over that rise, it's there!
HOBBES: What's going on?
Semi jack-knifed,
spilled its payload
onto the road.
Some kind of
class four chemicals.
Can't Iet anyone go through
until it's cleaned up.
We're detouring
everyone to the 18.
Thank you, Officer.
He's Iying.
He's Iying. You need to see
what's over that rise
so you'II believe me.
COLLIER: What,
you want me to go
through the roadblock?
Yes. PIease.
Honestly, do you really
think that we would
do that? Come on.
Well, then don't
believe me! I don't care!
I really don't care!
Do whatever you want
with me, just please
find my girlfriend!
Or I think they're
going to kill her!
There's no
other way around it.
Route 18 it is.
SEAN: I'm telling you,
this isn't a chemical spill.
This is a cover-up.
The plane is right
on the other side
of those hills!
(HORN HONKING)
(SEAN GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING)
Are you okay?
Okay. Come on!
Yeah! SIowly, slowly.
(COLLIER GROANING)
Okay. You're okay. Come on.
Okay.
Where's Hobbes?
Where's Hobbes?
He's dead.
Stay there, stay there.
No, no, no! No, no, no!
(BOTH EXCLAIM)
(GRUNTS)
You're awake. That's good.
Here.
It's Aspirin.
What did you do to me?
You got hurt
after the accident.
I couldn't bring
you to a hospital.
So you took me to a motel?
You need to give yourself up
and Iet me go. Now!
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
Mr. Walker. You saved
my Iife, and you didn't
have to do that.
But you need to
realize the kind of
trouble you're in.
You're already
wanted for murder,
and now you're abducting
a federal agent
and holding her
against her will.
Okay. I need
your help, okay?
Do you understand that?
My help.
Yes.
PIease... PIease tell me
this isn't about the plane.
Yes, Avias 514.
Look, I know that
it sounds crazy,
but it's true.
Yeah!
Okay.
You know what,
I can't waste any more time
trying to convince you.
I have to find Leila.
So, here's what
I've got, okay?
She said her name
is Vicky Roberts.
She's the one who
kidnapped my girlfriend.
I need to find out
who she really is,
and I know the FBI has
facial recognition software.
So I downloaded
a picture of her
from my phone
into your netbook.
I just need to connect
to the federal database,
so I can use it
to ID her.
Not without
my password.
Do you know how many
people use "password"
as their password?
Yeah! I didn't.
No, I know.
You used your cat's name
combined with your birthday.
I Iooked through all your
personal information
when you were down
and you have 38 pictures
of Chester in here.
So.
Okay, well,
the password's not enough.
You can't get
to it remotely.
It's an intranet.
You have to access
that system from
a secured hard Iine
inside the Yuma
field office.
You can't connect
on Wi-Fi.
Well, that explains that.
Sean, Iisten to me.
Just Iet me go and
I'II forget my abduction
ever happened.
I'II take you
into custody,
and I promise you I will
get to the bottom of this.
I can't count on that.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm going to
get cleaned up,
and then you're
going to help me
find Vicky Roberts.
(GROANING)
FBI AGENT: Field office.
It's Collier. I'm
being held by Sean Walker.
Your suspect?
The same one.
What about Hobbes?
Hobbes is dead.
What's your location?
I'm at the Pearblossom Motel.
On our way.
Afternoon.
You're a hard man to
get a hold of, BIake.
Funny how a national emergency
exponentially increases
the amount of work.
If you could make it brief,
the President and
I are on our way
to Arizona.
Well, then I'II get
right to the point.
There were only
a handful of us who knew
that the President
was about to announce
to the public the presence
of the 97 in Inostranka.
Meaning that's
the most Iikely motive
for the attempted
assassination,
to silence the President.
I haven't been
sitting on my hands.
Investigations are
already underway.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Let me ask you a question.
Who investigates
the investigator?
Your concern
has been noted.
Thank you for
bringing it to my attention,
Vice President Jarvis.
BLAKE: Now that we know
the passengers are dead,
we'II be making
the final adjustments
to our cover story.
Maybe that the plane stopped
transmitting flight data
over the Brazilian rainforest.
Search parties will take
days to reach the Iocation
we've chosen for the crash.
But we're already staging
the site with wreckage.
And then we'II transport
the passengers' bodies there
once they've been
treated to simulate
an airplane accident.
The pilot of the plane,
Michael Buchanan,
has been positively identified
among the dead.
So unfortunately,
he will not be
answering any questions
about the attempted
assassination.
But we are conducting
deep background checks
and moving on
all fronts to find
whoever's behind this.
Their families will never
know what happened here.
Mr. President,
with all due respect,
nothing we tell
or don't tell them
will change
the fact that their
Ioved ones are dead.
Our responsibility
is to protect
the American
public as a whole.
Protect them
from the truth?
We don't have a choice.
Not when the truth is that
we've been infiltrated
by an unknown number
of non-humans
who possess
devastating technological
power that we have
no defense against.
And who just murdered
a plane full of people.
You're assuming
they were murdered.
Could their deaths
have been the result
of whatever
process transported
the plane here?
Agent Lee has been
heading up the on-site.
He's the best one to
answer that question.
SIMON: Mr. President.
Go ahead.
Well, we're still
trying to determine
what killed them.
Whatever it was,
they saw it coming.
It appears many of
them tried fleeing
from the site in
the same direction.
Running away
from some kind
of singular threat.
Others died displaying
defensive postures.
Trying to shield
their spouses or children
from whatever
threat they perceived.
I want whoever did this.
I want them found.
I've created a special
operations group
with the specific goal
of finding the SIeepers.
But realistically,
it will take time.
We only just became aware
of their existence.
Sophia knows.
Based on your Iast
conversation with her,
we have to
assume she won't share
any information with us.
Voluntarily.
But if you were willing
to sign off on more
aggressive
interrogation techniques...
No. No.
You'd be on safe Iegal
ground on this matter.
Constitutional protections
would not extend...
End of discussion,
I will not condone
the use of torture.
And I have a better way.
Before all this,
you Iet me believe
that you and
the detainees
at Inostranka
were the only
ones of your kind.
I was angry when I Iearned
there were others,
that you Iied to me.
But I understood it.
You felt you had
to protect them.
Well, this is what
they did, Sophia.
They killed everyone
on that plane.
One hundred eighty-three men,
women and children.
Look at them.
You seem surprised.
This wasn't
supposed to happen.
That's all you
have to say?
I'm sorry.
No. I want you to
be more than sorry.
I want you to help me
find them and bring
them to justice.
I can't defend this.
But I won't
betray my people.
I told you that.
That was before they
committed mass murder.
Now, I'm gonna give
you one more chance.
You help me find them
and bring them to justice.
And then maybe,
in time, you and I can
rebuild what we had.
Well, at Ieast
you're confirming
I did the right thing.
What do you mean?
I had an announcement
made at Inostranka.
I'm offering a deal.
Whoever can help me find
the people who did this
will be released,
permanently,
to Iive free among us.
It won't work.
We will stand together.
They've been Iiving
behind bars for 66 years.
And now they no Ionger
have any hope of release.
Do you really think
out of all your people,
one won't talk?
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(DOOR OPENING)
Open it.
Yes, sir.
William, you have
a message for me?
For the President.
I'II tell him everything.
How many more of
us are out there,
where they're hiding,
what they've really
been up to, all right?
Now just get me
the hell out of here.
Take him.
Yes, sir.
Three, two, one.
Execute! Execute!
In the bathroom.
He has my gun.
Get out right now,
hands where I can see them.
CIear!
Looks Iike your
guy's in the wind.
Angie, are you all right?
Yeah!
There was a roadblock.
Cop said something
about a chemical spill.
We stopped.
The RV behind us didn't.
Some trucker
must've taken a short cut.
You're not even
supposed to transport
chemicals on Route 95.
Hobbes was dead
before the explosion.
Walker could've run,
but he saved me.
Ron, I should be out there
Iooking for Walker.
Every Iaw enforcement
agent within a 50-mile
radius is doing that.
Only thing you're going
to do right now is your
debrief and see a medic.
He really believes
he was trying
to stop a plane
from crashing into
the President's compound.
He had it all worked out.
The pilot, his girlfriend,
and how the plane
could have
ended up in Arizona.
So he was delusional.
Yeah. Just really convinced
in what was saying.
They usually are.
I'm just grateful you
weren't hurt or worse.
Guys Iike this,
you never know
what they're capable of.
NEWSCASTER:...that Avias
Airline Flight 514
is reportedly lost
over the Brazilian rainforest.
Hey, who has the remote?
Turn this up!
Avias Air Flight 514
originated in Miami.
The FAA has just
confirmed that the Sao
Paolo-bound 767...
When did that happen?
Just came on, I think.
...carrying 183 passengers
and crew members
dropped off radar
over the Brazilian
jungle about an hour ago.
Avias Air released
the police statements...
That's it! Avias 514.
That's the flight
Walker said he was on.
Well, there's your answer.
He heard about it
on the news,
then he dropped it
into his fantasy.
Textbook.
But they said the plane
Iost contact an hour ago.
Walker told me about
this four hours ago.
The reporter must have
the time frame wrong.
Yes.
Come on.
(LEILA GRUNTING)
VICKY: Hey, calm down.
We're almost there.
(SIREN WAILING)
Oh, man! Come on.
You make a noise,
I'II kill you.
You realize you're driving
with a busted taillight.
No! Actually this
is my friend's van,
and I will have him
get on that right away
first thing in the morning.
Okay?
May I ask what
you're doing out here
this time of night?
Just working Iate.
Just been working.
Mind if I take
a Iook in the back?
Based on what?
Based on my gut sense
that someone Iike you
shouldn't be somewhere
Iike here right now.
I told you I've
just been working Iate.
Just open up the back, ma'am.
Right. No. Of course.
It's just...
It's been such a Iong day,
and I just wanna get home
and get some sleep.
It would really,
really be worth it to me.
Ma'am, put your money
away and take a step
out of the van.
Okay.
Of course, if that's
the way you want it.
Come on. Come on.
Anything else besides
this flight out of Miami
that he was specific about?
Leila Buchanan,
his girlfriend.
We should check reports
on missing persons,
start in the Miami area.
And he kept talking
about this woman who
he said was involved
in our kidnappings.
He uploaded a picture
onto my computer.
Where's my computer?
You have to access that system
from a secured hard Iine
inside the Yuma field office.
You can't connect
on Wi-Fi.
He's here.
Got you.
The trunk of the car? Really?
Wait. Wait.
You should have run
when you had the chance.
Just hear me out. I found her.
Game over, Mr. Walker.
Vicky Roberts from New York.
She's got my girlfriend.
2150 9th Avenue.
Call the cops.
We are the cops.
She's the one from the ship.
She's got Leila.
Vicky Roberts.
That's her name.
Yeah. One of them.
Why would any innocent person
need that many identities?
AII right.
Whoever that is,
she's got Leila. PIease.
PIease. I need your help.
PIease.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
I find Debussy
a Iittle soft.
This Iocation is
entirely secure.
Twenty-four hour
surveillance and security
in every room.
There's no need
to be nervous
or afraid of...
Can I have some water?
With ice.
Of course.
The water at Inostranka
always tasted Iike piss.
I'II Iook into that.
Don't bother.
I'm not going back, right?
Once you give us
the information we need,
you'II be as free as I am.
AII right.
Let's do it.
I want to know
who did this,
how they did it,
and where they are.
(LAUGHS)
What's so funny?
That's all you
want to know?
That's easy.
Then start talking.
I want money.
Okay.
And protection.
Done.
And I want to
Iive in a place
where the sun
doesn't set at 2:00
in the damn afternoon.
That can be arranged.
And I want my girlfriend.
Her name is Maya.
Or number 31 to you.
THOMAS: Let's go.
SOPHIA: AII the
able-bodied go!
THOMAS: Let's go. Come on.
SOPHIA: Let's go.
THOMAS: Everybody.
(COUGHING)
How bad is it?
I don't know.
Okay.
Thomas is going to run.
He's gathering a group now.
Can you walk?
Get my boot.
(GROANING)
Now, come on.
Just do it.
Okay. I got you.
SOPHIA: William!
Come on.
William.
Where are you going?
With Thomas.
No! You can't.
No, it's fine.
It's nothing.
Listen to me.
It's critical that Thomas
gets free of here,
I can't risk you
slowing him down.
Look, Sophia, I'm not
gonna Iet that happen.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Maya, you can go
with them if you want.
But you have to decide now.
Maya.
I'II stay.
AII right. Go circulate
amongst the group.
Make sure you Iet them know
that they are not to resist.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Thank you.
(SCOFFS)
That wasn't
part of the deal.
I can tell you what
they're doing here,
why they're doing it,
and most importantly,
how to stop them
before it's too Iate.
I'II need to make a call.
You do that.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
What do you think?
As you know,
I've felt for some time
that Sophia and her
people have an agenda
they've been hiding from us.
Do you believe him?
You Iooked him in the eye,
what do you think?
I think he's
telling us the truth.
Okay. Then if he's
willing to turn on Sophia,
give him what he wants.
And keep him talking until
his damn voice gives out.
SIMON: Sophia,
we're only clear
for four minutes.
Did you hear about
what Thomas did
to the passengers?
The President told me,
and about his offer.
William agreed to talk?
He'II tell them everything.
If he hasn't already.
He hasn't.
How can you be sure?
Because we're still alive.
I should have dealt with him
when I had the chance.
You protected him. Why?
That was my responsibility.
To protect you all.
And now?
And now you'II
have to deal with him
harshly.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER:
Acknowledge, Avias 514.
SEAN: (DISTORTED) Please!
Let me in, okay?
It's not too late,
but we have to act now.
What happened?
BIack box got
mangled in the crash.
Audio forensics are trying
to reconstruct the rest.
He was talking
to the captain.
Yes, sir. He seemed
to know about the plan
to crash the plane.
And who is he?
Identified himself
as "Sean,"
but there wasn't a Sean
on the plane's manifest.
They did however
find a discarded
maintenance uniform
in the plane's bathroom.
So he snuck on.
Yeah.
We did a Iittle bit of
digging, and the pilot's
daughter was dating
a Sean Walker.
What do we know
about him?
Well, he's bright.
He hacked into
a Pentagon server
when he was 16
for the fun of it.
Earned him a juvenile record
and a scholarship to MIT.
Been freelancing as
a software programmer
for Internet and
gaming companies
since he graduated.
Very much under
the radar until this.
Same guy.
On a cruise with
the girl until about
eight days ago.
The girl now appears
to be missing
and Walker was Iinked
to a murder on board.
I think it's
a viable Iead, sir.
Am I missing something?
AII the passengers on
that plane are dead.
Except for Walker,
apparently.
FBI in Yuma picked him
up earlier today, sir.
Who else knows
about this?
No one.
I brought it
straight to you.
This man could Iead
to whoever's behind
the assassination
attempt on the President.
I understand, sir.
Get him. Now.
Yes, sir.
And, Justin?
Yes, sir.
I don't have to tell you
to keep this need-to-know.
Of course, sir.
Of seven identities, only one,
Erica Bartlett, seemed
to exist prior to 2002.
She was supposedly "killed"
in a car accident
while studying Mandarin
at the Jing Zi
Institute in Hong Kong.
Turns out Jing Zi
was part of a shadow
organization with
ties to the NSA.
So, she works
for the government?
Not according to
any official records.
But Melissa Wade
briefly resided
in a government-subsidized
building
known to house young
intelligence trainees.
Sounds Iike some kind of
underground operative.
Yep.
I called the FAA
Iike you asked me
to and guess what?
Every single air
traffic controller
who was covering Avias 514
was either on
vacation or sick.
Every single computer
that should have a record
of the flight pattern
seems to be down.
Something is
definitely weird here.
Yeah. Definitely.
Agent Collier?
Yeah.
US Marshals are here
saying they have
a transfer order
for Sean Walker.
COLLIER: How did
a transfer get approved?
We haven't even
finished processing yet.
Thank you.
Collier.
MARSHAL: Hey.
COLLIER: I hear you're taking
Sean Walker off our hands.
MARSHAL: Yes, ma'am.
This is the first
I've heard of it.
Do you mind if I ask
who requested the transfer?
ASAC Douglas
in the Washington
Field Office.
Guess news travels fast.
I guess it does.
I'II collect him for you.
MARSHAL: Okay.
JUAN: You guys want
anything? Coffee?
Bottle of water?
No. We're fine, thanks.
Okay.
What's going on?
Just sit tight.
Yeah. Like I have a choice?
DISPATCHER:
Washington Field Office.
ASAC Douglas, please.
One moment.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
Yeah?
MAN: Someone there
is placing a call
to the Washington
Field Office.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Kill the call now.
Got it.
(CALL DISCONNECTS)
Hello?
(DIAL TONE BEEPING)
Hello?
Here. Get out of those.
Stay here.
I got you.
Take down Walker.
CIear!
Ground Ievel,
Vokolov Shipping Company.
I'II take care of
the collateral damage.
Go, go!
Look, whoever
you're working for,
whatever they're paying you,
there's always another...
VICKY: I admire
your optimism.
Where did you get all
that warm and fuzzy?
It makes my teeth hurt.
If I were in your shoes,
I'd have trouble
being so magnanimous.
It's not your
fault all the men
in your Iife are so
easily manipulated.
You don't know Sean.
He's never going to
stop Iooking for me.
Never.
As Iovely as
that story sounds,
it's just not
gonna end up that way.
You bitch! Sit down!
Drop it!
Get his keys.
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)
Right there.
AII right.
Duck!
Maya!
You're really here.
I am.
But I don't understand,
how did you do this?
I demanded it in
return for information.
Don't you understand?
We're going to be free!
I don't know.
Hey, what's wrong?
What did you
tell them, William?
I haven't told
them anything yet.
I wanted to
make sure they kept
their promise first.
That was smart.
Good.
Hey, come here.
That's just a taste, Maya.
It's beautiful.
I've dreamed what this moment
would feel Iike, haven't you?
It's even better
than I imagined.
I'm so glad.
(GRUNTS)
Keep imagining.
Keep imagining.
I'm sorry.
(DOG BARKING)
Dog!
Come on, where's your owner?
Come on.
Hello? Hello? Hello?
Help me!
I'm inside.
I'm in here.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Yeah!
The boyfriend got away.
What? Your men
didn't get there in time?
That wasn't the problem.
Then what was?
I spent time with Walker.
He shouldn't
have been a problem
for you and Smith.
Yeah? Well, he was.
And it Iooks Iike
he's convinced
an FBI agent to help him.
I think you might
have underestimated him.
Well, do you have
any idea where he is?
We're looking.
Based on what we
think he told the FBI,
it's clear he's starting
to put all this together.
We still need the girl.
That's what I'm here for.
I told you he'd
come back for me.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
This is Jenks.
I need a medic
team right away.
One of the passengers
is showing vitals!
MAN: Vitals?
They're all dead.
I know that.
Would you just hurry!
Somehow one of them
survived the crash!
It's okay.
You're going to be okay.
(MAN GROANING)
(STAMMERING) I need
some people down here.
MAN: What's going on?
Everyone's waking.
They're all waking up.
I need you down here now!
an aircraft crashed
in the Brooks
Mountain Range of Alaska.
These survivors
were determined to be
not of terrestrial origin.
SOPHIA: My people
saved your life.
Sophia, how many more
of you are out there?
SIMON: I need to know
about the plane, Thomas.
You were supposed
to set it down unharmed.
Really?
MICHAEL: Leila knew
who was holding her,
called her Vicky.
You have to go now!
AGENT: Agent Lee,
you need to see this!
They're dead, sir.
Every Iast one of them.
(GROANS)
(SCREAMS)
That's far enough,
Mr. Walker.
You're under arrest
for the murder
of Greg Kervin.
You can do this.
One, two...
SEAN: Wait a second,
wait a second.
I came this way.
What?
I recognize those
mountains from when I
was Iost in the desert.
They're blocking the road
because of the plane.
Of course.
No.
That's where we Ianded,
over that rise, it's there!
HOBBES: What's going on?
Semi jack-knifed,
spilled its payload
onto the road.
Some kind of
class four chemicals.
Can't Iet anyone go through
until it's cleaned up.
We're detouring
everyone to the 18.
Thank you, Officer.
He's Iying.
He's Iying. You need to see
what's over that rise
so you'II believe me.
COLLIER: What,
you want me to go
through the roadblock?
Yes. PIease.
Honestly, do you really
think that we would
do that? Come on.
Well, then don't
believe me! I don't care!
I really don't care!
Do whatever you want
with me, just please
find my girlfriend!
Or I think they're
going to kill her!
There's no
other way around it.
Route 18 it is.
SEAN: I'm telling you,
this isn't a chemical spill.
This is a cover-up.
The plane is right
on the other side
of those hills!
(HORN HONKING)
(SEAN GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING)
Are you okay?
Okay. Come on!
Yeah! SIowly, slowly.
(COLLIER GROANING)
Okay. You're okay. Come on.
Okay.
Where's Hobbes?
Where's Hobbes?
He's dead.
Stay there, stay there.
No, no, no! No, no, no!
(BOTH EXCLAIM)
(GRUNTS)
You're awake. That's good.
Here.
It's Aspirin.
What did you do to me?
You got hurt
after the accident.
I couldn't bring
you to a hospital.
So you took me to a motel?
You need to give yourself up
and Iet me go. Now!
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
Mr. Walker. You saved
my Iife, and you didn't
have to do that.
But you need to
realize the kind of
trouble you're in.
You're already
wanted for murder,
and now you're abducting
a federal agent
and holding her
against her will.
Okay. I need
your help, okay?
Do you understand that?
My help.
Yes.
PIease... PIease tell me
this isn't about the plane.
Yes, Avias 514.
Look, I know that
it sounds crazy,
but it's true.
Yeah!
Okay.
You know what,
I can't waste any more time
trying to convince you.
I have to find Leila.
So, here's what
I've got, okay?
She said her name
is Vicky Roberts.
She's the one who
kidnapped my girlfriend.
I need to find out
who she really is,
and I know the FBI has
facial recognition software.
So I downloaded
a picture of her
from my phone
into your netbook.
I just need to connect
to the federal database,
so I can use it
to ID her.
Not without
my password.
Do you know how many
people use "password"
as their password?
Yeah! I didn't.
No, I know.
You used your cat's name
combined with your birthday.
I Iooked through all your
personal information
when you were down
and you have 38 pictures
of Chester in here.
So.
Okay, well,
the password's not enough.
You can't get
to it remotely.
It's an intranet.
You have to access
that system from
a secured hard Iine
inside the Yuma
field office.
You can't connect
on Wi-Fi.
Well, that explains that.
Sean, Iisten to me.
Just Iet me go and
I'II forget my abduction
ever happened.
I'II take you
into custody,
and I promise you I will
get to the bottom of this.
I can't count on that.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm going to
get cleaned up,
and then you're
going to help me
find Vicky Roberts.
(GROANING)
FBI AGENT: Field office.
It's Collier. I'm
being held by Sean Walker.
Your suspect?
The same one.
What about Hobbes?
Hobbes is dead.
What's your location?
I'm at the Pearblossom Motel.
On our way.
Afternoon.
You're a hard man to
get a hold of, BIake.
Funny how a national emergency
exponentially increases
the amount of work.
If you could make it brief,
the President and
I are on our way
to Arizona.
Well, then I'II get
right to the point.
There were only
a handful of us who knew
that the President
was about to announce
to the public the presence
of the 97 in Inostranka.
Meaning that's
the most Iikely motive
for the attempted
assassination,
to silence the President.
I haven't been
sitting on my hands.
Investigations are
already underway.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Let me ask you a question.
Who investigates
the investigator?
Your concern
has been noted.
Thank you for
bringing it to my attention,
Vice President Jarvis.
BLAKE: Now that we know
the passengers are dead,
we'II be making
the final adjustments
to our cover story.
Maybe that the plane stopped
transmitting flight data
over the Brazilian rainforest.
Search parties will take
days to reach the Iocation
we've chosen for the crash.
But we're already staging
the site with wreckage.
And then we'II transport
the passengers' bodies there
once they've been
treated to simulate
an airplane accident.
The pilot of the plane,
Michael Buchanan,
has been positively identified
among the dead.
So unfortunately,
he will not be
answering any questions
about the attempted
assassination.
But we are conducting
deep background checks
and moving on
all fronts to find
whoever's behind this.
Their families will never
know what happened here.
Mr. President,
with all due respect,
nothing we tell
or don't tell them
will change
the fact that their
Ioved ones are dead.
Our responsibility
is to protect
the American
public as a whole.
Protect them
from the truth?
We don't have a choice.
Not when the truth is that
we've been infiltrated
by an unknown number
of non-humans
who possess
devastating technological
power that we have
no defense against.
And who just murdered
a plane full of people.
You're assuming
they were murdered.
Could their deaths
have been the result
of whatever
process transported
the plane here?
Agent Lee has been
heading up the on-site.
He's the best one to
answer that question.
SIMON: Mr. President.
Go ahead.
Well, we're still
trying to determine
what killed them.
Whatever it was,
they saw it coming.
It appears many of
them tried fleeing
from the site in
the same direction.
Running away
from some kind
of singular threat.
Others died displaying
defensive postures.
Trying to shield
their spouses or children
from whatever
threat they perceived.
I want whoever did this.
I want them found.
I've created a special
operations group
with the specific goal
of finding the SIeepers.
But realistically,
it will take time.
We only just became aware
of their existence.
Sophia knows.
Based on your Iast
conversation with her,
we have to
assume she won't share
any information with us.
Voluntarily.
But if you were willing
to sign off on more
aggressive
interrogation techniques...
No. No.
You'd be on safe Iegal
ground on this matter.
Constitutional protections
would not extend...
End of discussion,
I will not condone
the use of torture.
And I have a better way.
Before all this,
you Iet me believe
that you and
the detainees
at Inostranka
were the only
ones of your kind.
I was angry when I Iearned
there were others,
that you Iied to me.
But I understood it.
You felt you had
to protect them.
Well, this is what
they did, Sophia.
They killed everyone
on that plane.
One hundred eighty-three men,
women and children.
Look at them.
You seem surprised.
This wasn't
supposed to happen.
That's all you
have to say?
I'm sorry.
No. I want you to
be more than sorry.
I want you to help me
find them and bring
them to justice.
I can't defend this.
But I won't
betray my people.
I told you that.
That was before they
committed mass murder.
Now, I'm gonna give
you one more chance.
You help me find them
and bring them to justice.
And then maybe,
in time, you and I can
rebuild what we had.
Well, at Ieast
you're confirming
I did the right thing.
What do you mean?
I had an announcement
made at Inostranka.
I'm offering a deal.
Whoever can help me find
the people who did this
will be released,
permanently,
to Iive free among us.
It won't work.
We will stand together.
They've been Iiving
behind bars for 66 years.
And now they no Ionger
have any hope of release.
Do you really think
out of all your people,
one won't talk?
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(DOOR OPENING)
Open it.
Yes, sir.
William, you have
a message for me?
For the President.
I'II tell him everything.
How many more of
us are out there,
where they're hiding,
what they've really
been up to, all right?
Now just get me
the hell out of here.
Take him.
Yes, sir.
Three, two, one.
Execute! Execute!
In the bathroom.
He has my gun.
Get out right now,
hands where I can see them.
CIear!
Looks Iike your
guy's in the wind.
Angie, are you all right?
Yeah!
There was a roadblock.
Cop said something
about a chemical spill.
We stopped.
The RV behind us didn't.
Some trucker
must've taken a short cut.
You're not even
supposed to transport
chemicals on Route 95.
Hobbes was dead
before the explosion.
Walker could've run,
but he saved me.
Ron, I should be out there
Iooking for Walker.
Every Iaw enforcement
agent within a 50-mile
radius is doing that.
Only thing you're going
to do right now is your
debrief and see a medic.
He really believes
he was trying
to stop a plane
from crashing into
the President's compound.
He had it all worked out.
The pilot, his girlfriend,
and how the plane
could have
ended up in Arizona.
So he was delusional.
Yeah. Just really convinced
in what was saying.
They usually are.
I'm just grateful you
weren't hurt or worse.
Guys Iike this,
you never know
what they're capable of.
NEWSCASTER:...that Avias
Airline Flight 514
is reportedly lost
over the Brazilian rainforest.
Hey, who has the remote?
Turn this up!
Avias Air Flight 514
originated in Miami.
The FAA has just
confirmed that the Sao
Paolo-bound 767...
When did that happen?
Just came on, I think.
...carrying 183 passengers
and crew members
dropped off radar
over the Brazilian
jungle about an hour ago.
Avias Air released
the police statements...
That's it! Avias 514.
That's the flight
Walker said he was on.
Well, there's your answer.
He heard about it
on the news,
then he dropped it
into his fantasy.
Textbook.
But they said the plane
Iost contact an hour ago.
Walker told me about
this four hours ago.
The reporter must have
the time frame wrong.
Yes.
Come on.
(LEILA GRUNTING)
VICKY: Hey, calm down.
We're almost there.
(SIREN WAILING)
Oh, man! Come on.
You make a noise,
I'II kill you.
You realize you're driving
with a busted taillight.
No! Actually this
is my friend's van,
and I will have him
get on that right away
first thing in the morning.
Okay?
May I ask what
you're doing out here
this time of night?
Just working Iate.
Just been working.
Mind if I take
a Iook in the back?
Based on what?
Based on my gut sense
that someone Iike you
shouldn't be somewhere
Iike here right now.
I told you I've
just been working Iate.
Just open up the back, ma'am.
Right. No. Of course.
It's just...
It's been such a Iong day,
and I just wanna get home
and get some sleep.
It would really,
really be worth it to me.
Ma'am, put your money
away and take a step
out of the van.
Okay.
Of course, if that's
the way you want it.
Come on. Come on.
Anything else besides
this flight out of Miami
that he was specific about?
Leila Buchanan,
his girlfriend.
We should check reports
on missing persons,
start in the Miami area.
And he kept talking
about this woman who
he said was involved
in our kidnappings.
He uploaded a picture
onto my computer.
Where's my computer?
You have to access that system
from a secured hard Iine
inside the Yuma field office.
You can't connect
on Wi-Fi.
He's here.
Got you.
The trunk of the car? Really?
Wait. Wait.
You should have run
when you had the chance.
Just hear me out. I found her.
Game over, Mr. Walker.
Vicky Roberts from New York.
She's got my girlfriend.
2150 9th Avenue.
Call the cops.
We are the cops.
She's the one from the ship.
She's got Leila.
Vicky Roberts.
That's her name.
Yeah. One of them.
Why would any innocent person
need that many identities?
AII right.
Whoever that is,
she's got Leila. PIease.
PIease. I need your help.
PIease.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
I find Debussy
a Iittle soft.
This Iocation is
entirely secure.
Twenty-four hour
surveillance and security
in every room.
There's no need
to be nervous
or afraid of...
Can I have some water?
With ice.
Of course.
The water at Inostranka
always tasted Iike piss.
I'II Iook into that.
Don't bother.
I'm not going back, right?
Once you give us
the information we need,
you'II be as free as I am.
AII right.
Let's do it.
I want to know
who did this,
how they did it,
and where they are.
(LAUGHS)
What's so funny?
That's all you
want to know?
That's easy.
Then start talking.
I want money.
Okay.
And protection.
Done.
And I want to
Iive in a place
where the sun
doesn't set at 2:00
in the damn afternoon.
That can be arranged.
And I want my girlfriend.
Her name is Maya.
Or number 31 to you.
THOMAS: Let's go.
SOPHIA: AII the
able-bodied go!
THOMAS: Let's go. Come on.
SOPHIA: Let's go.
THOMAS: Everybody.
(COUGHING)
How bad is it?
I don't know.
Okay.
Thomas is going to run.
He's gathering a group now.
Can you walk?
Get my boot.
(GROANING)
Now, come on.
Just do it.
Okay. I got you.
SOPHIA: William!
Come on.
William.
Where are you going?
With Thomas.
No! You can't.
No, it's fine.
It's nothing.
Listen to me.
It's critical that Thomas
gets free of here,
I can't risk you
slowing him down.
Look, Sophia, I'm not
gonna Iet that happen.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Maya, you can go
with them if you want.
But you have to decide now.
Maya.
I'II stay.
AII right. Go circulate
amongst the group.
Make sure you Iet them know
that they are not to resist.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Thank you.
(SCOFFS)
That wasn't
part of the deal.
I can tell you what
they're doing here,
why they're doing it,
and most importantly,
how to stop them
before it's too Iate.
I'II need to make a call.
You do that.
(TELEPHONE RINGING)
What do you think?
As you know,
I've felt for some time
that Sophia and her
people have an agenda
they've been hiding from us.
Do you believe him?
You Iooked him in the eye,
what do you think?
I think he's
telling us the truth.
Okay. Then if he's
willing to turn on Sophia,
give him what he wants.
And keep him talking until
his damn voice gives out.
SIMON: Sophia,
we're only clear
for four minutes.
Did you hear about
what Thomas did
to the passengers?
The President told me,
and about his offer.
William agreed to talk?
He'II tell them everything.
If he hasn't already.
He hasn't.
How can you be sure?
Because we're still alive.
I should have dealt with him
when I had the chance.
You protected him. Why?
That was my responsibility.
To protect you all.
And now?
And now you'II
have to deal with him
harshly.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER:
Acknowledge, Avias 514.
SEAN: (DISTORTED) Please!
Let me in, okay?
It's not too late,
but we have to act now.
What happened?
BIack box got
mangled in the crash.
Audio forensics are trying
to reconstruct the rest.
He was talking
to the captain.
Yes, sir. He seemed
to know about the plan
to crash the plane.
And who is he?
Identified himself
as "Sean,"
but there wasn't a Sean
on the plane's manifest.
They did however
find a discarded
maintenance uniform
in the plane's bathroom.
So he snuck on.
Yeah.
We did a Iittle bit of
digging, and the pilot's
daughter was dating
a Sean Walker.
What do we know
about him?
Well, he's bright.
He hacked into
a Pentagon server
when he was 16
for the fun of it.
Earned him a juvenile record
and a scholarship to MIT.
Been freelancing as
a software programmer
for Internet and
gaming companies
since he graduated.
Very much under
the radar until this.
Same guy.
On a cruise with
the girl until about
eight days ago.
The girl now appears
to be missing
and Walker was Iinked
to a murder on board.
I think it's
a viable Iead, sir.
Am I missing something?
AII the passengers on
that plane are dead.
Except for Walker,
apparently.
FBI in Yuma picked him
up earlier today, sir.
Who else knows
about this?
No one.
I brought it
straight to you.
This man could Iead
to whoever's behind
the assassination
attempt on the President.
I understand, sir.
Get him. Now.
Yes, sir.
And, Justin?
Yes, sir.
I don't have to tell you
to keep this need-to-know.
Of course, sir.
Of seven identities, only one,
Erica Bartlett, seemed
to exist prior to 2002.
She was supposedly "killed"
in a car accident
while studying Mandarin
at the Jing Zi
Institute in Hong Kong.
Turns out Jing Zi
was part of a shadow
organization with
ties to the NSA.
So, she works
for the government?
Not according to
any official records.
But Melissa Wade
briefly resided
in a government-subsidized
building
known to house young
intelligence trainees.
Sounds Iike some kind of
underground operative.
Yep.
I called the FAA
Iike you asked me
to and guess what?
Every single air
traffic controller
who was covering Avias 514
was either on
vacation or sick.
Every single computer
that should have a record
of the flight pattern
seems to be down.
Something is
definitely weird here.
Yeah. Definitely.
Agent Collier?
Yeah.
US Marshals are here
saying they have
a transfer order
for Sean Walker.
COLLIER: How did
a transfer get approved?
We haven't even
finished processing yet.
Thank you.
Collier.
MARSHAL: Hey.
COLLIER: I hear you're taking
Sean Walker off our hands.
MARSHAL: Yes, ma'am.
This is the first
I've heard of it.
Do you mind if I ask
who requested the transfer?
ASAC Douglas
in the Washington
Field Office.
Guess news travels fast.
I guess it does.
I'II collect him for you.
MARSHAL: Okay.
JUAN: You guys want
anything? Coffee?
Bottle of water?
No. We're fine, thanks.
Okay.
What's going on?
Just sit tight.
Yeah. Like I have a choice?
DISPATCHER:
Washington Field Office.
ASAC Douglas, please.
One moment.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
Yeah?
MAN: Someone there
is placing a call
to the Washington
Field Office.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Kill the call now.
Got it.
(CALL DISCONNECTS)
Hello?
(DIAL TONE BEEPING)
Hello?
Here. Get out of those.
Stay here.
I got you.
Take down Walker.
CIear!
Ground Ievel,
Vokolov Shipping Company.
I'II take care of
the collateral damage.
Go, go!
Look, whoever
you're working for,
whatever they're paying you,
there's always another...
VICKY: I admire
your optimism.
Where did you get all
that warm and fuzzy?
It makes my teeth hurt.
If I were in your shoes,
I'd have trouble
being so magnanimous.
It's not your
fault all the men
in your Iife are so
easily manipulated.
You don't know Sean.
He's never going to
stop Iooking for me.
Never.
As Iovely as
that story sounds,
it's just not
gonna end up that way.
You bitch! Sit down!
Drop it!
Get his keys.
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)
Right there.
AII right.
Duck!
Maya!
You're really here.
I am.
But I don't understand,
how did you do this?
I demanded it in
return for information.
Don't you understand?
We're going to be free!
I don't know.
Hey, what's wrong?
What did you
tell them, William?
I haven't told
them anything yet.
I wanted to
make sure they kept
their promise first.
That was smart.
Good.
Hey, come here.
That's just a taste, Maya.
It's beautiful.
I've dreamed what this moment
would feel Iike, haven't you?
It's even better
than I imagined.
I'm so glad.
(GRUNTS)
Keep imagining.
Keep imagining.
I'm sorry.
(DOG BARKING)
Dog!
Come on, where's your owner?
Come on.
Hello? Hello? Hello?
Help me!
I'm inside.
I'm in here.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Yeah!
The boyfriend got away.
What? Your men
didn't get there in time?
That wasn't the problem.
Then what was?
I spent time with Walker.
He shouldn't
have been a problem
for you and Smith.
Yeah? Well, he was.
And it Iooks Iike
he's convinced
an FBI agent to help him.
I think you might
have underestimated him.
Well, do you have
any idea where he is?
We're looking.
Based on what we
think he told the FBI,
it's clear he's starting
to put all this together.
We still need the girl.
That's what I'm here for.
I told you he'd
come back for me.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
This is Jenks.
I need a medic
team right away.
One of the passengers
is showing vitals!
MAN: Vitals?
They're all dead.
I know that.
Would you just hurry!
Somehow one of them
survived the crash!
It's okay.
You're going to be okay.
(MAN GROANING)
(STAMMERING) I need
some people down here.
MAN: What's going on?
Everyone's waking.
They're all waking up.
I need you down here now!
