The Event (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 6 - Loyalty - full transcript

Hello?

THOMAS:
Sophia.

It's me.

What the hell
were you thinking?

That's really the first thing
you want to say to
me after 66 years?

You almost killed 200 people.

But nobody died,
and you're free.

Everything else is details.

Not to me.

And I am far from free.

We have to assume
that Martinez is doing



everything in his
power to track me.

If only so I'II
Iead them to you.

You've drawn a lot of
attention to yourself.

Simon is gonna
give us the details
to their follow operation.

We need to get you out
so we can get started.

There's a change of
clothes in your bag.

It's a safe bet that
yours are compromised.

And then what?

Then I want you to
wait for me to
tell you what to do.

Okay, she just passed
the Van Ness Station.
Next station is two miles.

Metro Center.

Very good, Mr. Murphy.
PIease confirm with Andrews

that the Predators
have scrambled.

Agent Lee, once the drones
start transmitting video,



I want it fed to your
teams on the ground.

SIMON: I'II set up
a dedicated overlay, sir.

Where are we?

Sophia's train
is proceeding east
on the red Iine.

Right now,
it's approaching
the Metro Center station.

DAVID: Are we sure she's
still on the train?

We're getting a clear signal
from the scandium 46
in her bloodstream.

How Iong will
the isotope stay active?
Seven hours.

If she hasn't Ied us
to this man,
Thomas, by then,

we'II reacquire her.

Thomas is the target of
the operation, not Sophia.

I don't want her hurt.

Sophia has proven herself
far from trustworthy.

In my opinion,
we must consider
her a threat.

She survives this, BIake.

Am I clear?

Pull me out
if there are any
major developments.

Yes, Mr. President.

Sir, I'd Iike to join my men
in the field to supervise
their deployment in person.

Thomas, it's Simon.

Hey, we have a problem.
They've got
a tracker in Sophia.

In her?

They put it
in her food.

It's a radioactive isotope.

While it's active,
they'II be able to track her
wherever she goes.

There must be some
way to get it out.

There isn't.

But there may be
another way to deal with it.
Good.

I'm counting on you.

(CHILD CHATTERING)

Hey!

How was it?
It's nice.

You should come in.
It Iooks rough.

Okay, give me a kiss.

No, it's warm, I swear.
You'II Iove it.

I Iike watching you.
Yeah?

Mmm-hmm.
You Iook happy.

Like a kid discovering water
for the first time.

Yeah, well...

Where I'm from,
there wasn't any.

You never talk
about your past.

Well...
When I'm with you,

it doesn't matter.

For the first time in my Iife,

I'm free of it.

I Iove you, Mason.

I Iove you.

I Iove you, too.

Hey!

Have Sophia get off
at the Gallery PIace
station and walk east.

By that time,
I'II know if this will work.

THOMAS:
Change of plans.

They've deployed
a radioactive isotope
in your bloodstream.

How?

Your friend Martinez
put it in your food.

(MAN CHATTERING OVER P.A.)

JUSTIN:
Sir, she just got off
at a stop.

Location?

Gallery. It's Chinatown.

(PANTING)

Get up to the street
and take an immediate Ieft.

MIKE: Command just
reported the target

exited
the Gallery Place station.

What's your position?

We're three blocks
away from the station
and closing.

Hold your approach,
I don't want
the team getting any closer.

THOMAS:
Ahead of you is 6th Street.

You're gonna make a left,
continue on.

Across the street,
you'll see the place
I've been describing.

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Okay, she's onto 6th,
crossing east,
entering a building.

Which is...

JUSTIN:
It's a coffee shop.

Is it possible she's
stopping for coffee?

Thank you.

JUSTIN:
Target's holding.

Is that... Is that right?

Okay, we've got
a second target.

What do you mean,
a second target?

Is this right?
I think so.

Okay, now we have
three targets.

What the hell is happening?

I don't know, sir.

Okay, now we have
five targets.
They keep coming.

Have Simon move his men in.
Yes, sir.

I knew you were
Iooking for me.

That's what kept me going.

I need you to tell me
what happened to my dad.

To my family.

ANGELA:
What's your name?

What's your name?

I don't think so.

I'II just ID you
offyour fingerprints.

Good Iuck with that.
Mmm.

Who is it that you work for?

I need a doctor.

I think I asked
you a question.

You can keep asking
me questions all day,

but if I bleed to
death on your watch,

you're gonna
have a real problem,
aren't you?

You're right.

But not as big
a problem as you.

I don't understand. What
do you mean, the plane
was pulled from the sky?

That's what it felt Iike,
Iike we were being
moved by something.

One second we were in Miami,

the next,
we were 2,000 miles away,
crash-Ianding in Arizona.

That just
doesn't make any sense.

You're right. I know.

Well, I mean, my dad,
how did he explain it?

He didn't explain it.

AImost right when we Ianded,
there were these...

Some kind of
aircraft started moving in,

and he said they
weren't there to help us

and that I needed to
find you, so I just ran.

Well, where is he?

Where's my dad
and the rest of
the passengers?

Well, they're
saying on the news that

they Iost track of
the plane over in Brazil

and that they're still Iooking
for the passengers.

AII I know is
that the government
is not telling us the truth.

What about my mom?
I mean,
she must be Iooking for him.

I tried calling the house
at the police station,
but no one was picking up.

Leila, I...

I have to...

I have to tell you something.

Your father told me that...

That they killed your mom.

What?
I'm so sorry.

What?
I am so sorry.

No.

What about Samantha?

The people who
are behind this,

they took her just
Iike they took you,
for the same reason.

No. No!
To force your dad
to do what he did.

No! They wouldn't...

They can't hurt
a Iittle girl, right?

Tell me she's okay.
As far as I know,
she is alive.

We'II find her, okay?
We'II find her.

I'II explain more when
I see you, all right?
Bye.

What did you do to her?

What?

Where is she?

I don't know.
Who?

My sister!

Where's my sister?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

PIease.
PIease, just tell me, okay?
Just tell me where she is.

She didn't do anything.

I don't know
anything about your sister.

Where is my sister?
(SCREAMING)

Where is she?
Where is she?

Get her off of me!
Get her off of...

Where's my sister?
She's only seven!
Where is she?

Answer her
or I will Iet you
die here.

I don't know anything!

AII I know is I'm bleeding out

in some fleabag motel!
Let go! Where is she!

You wanna blame somebody?
Why don't you
blame your father?

That's right.

You didn't know?

He's no angel.

Way I heard it,
he brought this on himself.

We're still being
flooded by false targets.

Forty-three and counting.

Now how is that possible?

Well, best guess,
one of Thomas' people
got here ahead of us.

We don't have enough manpower
to track everyone
who's been dosed.

No, but we can
minimize the confusion.

Lock down the coffee shop.

That's a good idea.

Use DaSilva,
Rutherford, Berdan and Hayes.

What's our story?

Possible homeland security
threat in the vicinity.
No reason to panic.

That one doesn't work
as well as it used to.

Better be compelling then.

The rest of you,
resume the search.

Set a half-mile perimeter
and work your way back.

Sophia's on foot.
She can't have gotten far.
Let's go.

SOPHIA:
Coming up on Spring Street.

(DOG GROWLING)

(BARKING)

THOMAS:
We need to keep you away
from the CCTV cameras.

We can avoid most of them.

But there are
areas of vulnerability.

So keep your head down.

Somebody give me a hard count
on the isotope targets.

Fifty-nine and holding, sir.

Continuing to disperse.

One of those
targets is Sophia.

I want an immediate
override on all CCTV

and traffic
cameras in the area.

Once they re-route,
port it directly to
facial recognition.

Uploading now, sir.

Sir. May I have a word?

(SIGHS)
What's going on?

Whoever dosed the people
at the coffee shop

did it with the same isotope
we used on Sophia.

And?

Scandium 46 is hard
to source, so I checked
our own stockpile.

Forty minutes ago,
someone walked out
of our on-site armory

with 100 cc's of
Iiquid scandium.

Who's authorized to
access the armory?

Only the men on
our field teams.

I'm sorry, sir,
but it has to be one of them.

Good news is
scandium is
a volatile particulate.

Anyone who's handled it
will have trace
amounts on them.

I can vet the field teams
with a radiation detector.

Do it.

We need to find the traitor
before he undermines
the entire operation.

Yes, sir.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Agent Lee.

Lee, we have a situation.
I'm heading your way.

A situation?
What are you talking about?

Just gather the members of
your field team

and hold them
there until I arrive.

We're in the middle
of an operation here,
what is this about?

I'll fill you in
when I get there.

Let's just say
you have a problem.

I'm gonna get
you in that water
next time we go there.

I Iike Iooking at the water.
I don't need to
get immersed in it.

Yeah.

So what do you say we
eat in tonight, huh?

I'II pick up some
fish from the market.
Sound good?

Yeah, sounds perfect.

AII right.

Hey, Mason,
will you pick up
some sunflowers?

Sunflowers?
What do you want
sunflowers for?

They Iight up the house.

Okay.

I'II Iight a fire.

AII right.

(SIGHS)

What are you doing here?

I think you know.

PIease, Thomas.
I'm not ready.

It's time to go now.

Look, I have a Iife here.

Staying in one place any
Ionger than we already
have is not an option.

For any of us.

How much Ionger do you think
it's gonna be before
people start to notice

you're not getting any older?

I don't know, okay?
I'II figure out a way to
make it Iook Iike I am.

I'm telling you
the way it's gonna be.

Thomas, come on.

PIease...
What's the problem?

I fell in Iove.

Now who in the hell
told you to do that?

I had no
control over it, okay?
It just happened.

And I'm not Ieaving her.

Ifyou don't go,
she'II have to.

It's my job to get us home,
and I can't do that
without your help.

Don't Iet your people down.

Yeah, well,

just Iet me say goodbye then.
Just Iet me say goodbye.

It's over.

I'm sorry.

Are all team members present?

I got them waiting out front.
I hope there's
a good reason for this.

We have a traitor.

What are you talking about?

Someone took the scandium that
was used to dose the coffee
shop from our armory.

Are you sure?
Positive.

The only people
with armory access
are the field teams.

Whoever did it
should still be giving off
trace Ievels of radiation.

I don't believe one of
my men would do this.

But that is the case,
now we need to scan them.

Hold, hold... Hold on.

Let me do it.
My men will take it better
if it's coming from me.

AII right.

Agent Lee.

Someone needs to check you.

Are you
questioning my Ioyalty?

Everyone on the team,
Sterling's orders.

Let's just get
it out of the way.

He was just trying
to mess with you,
that's what these people do.

What if what he said is true,
what if they chose my
father for a reason?

Look, we have to go
to my parents' house

and find something
that connects him
to all of this.

I don't think you're gonna
be able to find
anything there.

These people will make sure
that there is nothing to find.

So, then what are
we supposed to do?

Well, Collier's
called her ex-husband.

He's gonna Iock that guy down
and get you
someplace secure, okay?

What are you gonna do?

There's a federal
murder warrant out on me.

They think I killed Greg.

But Collier knows
that you didn't do that.
She believes you.

But it's her word
against the evidence,

which she says they
made Iook airtight.

So I need to find
the people behind this
so I can clear my name,

and so I can find out
about your
father and Samantha.

And you,
you're just gonna stay safe
and get help.

You need some time to heal.

I'm not going to heal
until I know about my family.

I'm going.
Leila, Iisten to me.

You're the most
important thing
in the world to me.

I'm not gonna put you at risk.

I don't need to be
protected right now, okay?
I need to do something.

I'm not gonna Iet you
just put me in some place

while you're out there
Iooking for my family.
Listen to me.

I'm just not gonna do that.

I'm going.

Where's the ambulance?

I'm sorry,
was somebody
supposed to call one?

Where is it?
I heard you call one.
Come on, check on it.

You're just an expert
at making friends now,
aren't you?

Where is it?
I don't know.

Maybe they put murderers
at the bottom of the Iist.

Don't Iook at it.
Let's go, Iet's go.

Let's go.

I'm so sorry.

Where do you wanna start?

There's gotta be
something in his office
that will help us.

Come on.
Just Iook
through everything.

Leila.

There's gotta be
something here!

AII right,
we'II find it, we'II find it.

(GASPING)

Sam's baby clothes.

I was the only one
who could put her to sleep.

What?

The attic.

What?
The attic!

There.

What is this stuff?

I don't know.

You shouldn't have come here.

THOMAS:
What is it?

Hey, my cover's blown.
Sterling's aide made me.

Can't you take care of him?

He's out cold in
the trunk of his car.

Why didn't you...
I wasn't going to
kill him, Thomas.

And it wouldn't
have mattered anyway.
Dead or alive,

it's over.

Then it's time
to move on again.

(PANTING)

(GRUNTS)

Hey!
What's up, Mike?

Where you headed?

I don't know. Home, I guess.

No, no, no.
No, wait, come on,
we gotta celebrate, man.

We made it through training.

Well, this is true.
(BOTH LAUGH)

I can't believe you
actually requested
to be stationed in AIaska.

What is that about?

Man, I'm a snowbird.
AIways have been.
Mason?

Mason?

MIKE:
Simon, you okay?

Mason?

It's me.

It's Violet.

(EXCLAIMING)

How can it be?

You haven't aged a day.

MIKE:
Simon, you know her?

I...

I think she's...

I apologize.
She suffers from AIzheimer's.

She gets people
and places mixed up.

Mason, it's me.

It's me.

It's me.

MIKE: Ma'am,
you got the wrong guy.

No.

Hey, hey, Simon, come on.

I'm sorry.

You must have me confused
with someone else.
No.

Don't Ieave.

PIease.

Get me a picture on
the center screen,
please.

Yes, sir.

Let's see what he's got.

When were these taken?

TECHNICIAN:
Ten minutes ago.

Redirect all
teams immediately.

And pull up all
the adjacent cameras.

Tell me you found her.

Mr. President, a traffic camera
just spotted
Sophia heading east.

It was on a time delay.
We don't have her yet,
but we're closing in.

There you are.

TECHNICIAN ON RADIO:
Target seen entering
a building

0.7 miles east of
the Takoma Playground.

MIKE ON RADIO:
Copy that. Alpha en route.

Thomas, they've spotted
Sophia. She's gonna Iead
them straight to you.

How Iong until
you get here?

You can't wait.
You gotta get
out of there now!

Don't worry. Just get here.
I have a contingency plan.

What are you talking about?
What the hell are you...

Thomas! Damn it!
(PHONE CLICKS)

We have a Iot to talk about.

But for now,

I'm happy to see you.

I need to know
how much of your
father's file you've seen.

How much do you know?

We don't know anything.
We just found it.

Then it may not be too Iate.

Put the file on the floor.

SIowly,
and slide it toward me.
Okay.

Do not move or I
will shoot you!
Do you understand?

My mother is dead,
and my family is missing.

What's in this file
might have
something to do with it.

We're not giving it to you.

(STAMMERING)
Don't... Don't shoot.
You can have the file.

Sean!
Okay? I'm not
Ietting you get shot!

Okay? You can have it.

Here you go.

Drop it.

Drop it!

AII right. Upstairs.

Move!

SEAN:
Who the hell are you?

And don't Iie to me.

I don't Iie.

I don't Iie.

My name is Madeline Jackson.

I'm a journalist.

Used to be.
Till I saw the Iight

that trying to speak
the truth is
a waste of time

because nobody
wants the truth,
people don't want the truth,

God forbid,
or it would all
go down in flames.

It's the Iies that
keep the construct going,
don't you see?

Spread by the vested interests
in the government
and the private sector

and the churches and
the stock exchanges.

AII fabricating and spinning
and telling stories

that keep 300
million consumers
happy and stupid and spending.

Why are you Iooking
at me Iike I'm crazy?

Just stop.
I'm not the deluded one.

You are.

Why are you here,
and what does this
have to do with my father?

Okay. Back to the beginning.

Two years ago, your father
contacted me about a flight
he was piloting to Anchorage.

Weather forced him to divert,

and by accident,
he saw that from the file.

It's a non-Iisted
government facility

near Inostranka,
middle of nowhere.

He was curious.

And he read an article
that I'd put on
a site that I had.

That was before
they took away my site.

That they hacked
it out of existence,

because they didn't
want anyone to know.

"They" who, the government?

The government are
scared Iittle children

compared to the forces that
want this kept a secret,
do you understand?

Your father knew too much.

So they took him.

Don't you see?
SEAN: No.

No, I don't understand.

Honestly, you seem
out of your mind.

I am not out of my mind.
Listen to me...

So why don't you just tell us
what her father knew?

Okay?

It's your funeral, okay?

In 1944, an aircraft crashed
over the Brooks Range
in AIaska.

The government
imprisoned the survivors

in a facility they
built especially for them.

Why? What did they do?

It's not what they did,
it's who they are.

Who are they?

EBEs.

Extraterrestrial
biological entities.

AIiens.

Four minutes ago,
we got visual

of Sophia heading
into this building.

These were taken
at the same building
two hours earlier.

This is the best resolution
we've been able to get.

That's him.
Right there.

Thomas. I know it.

AII our field
units are en route.

We'II have the building
surrounded within minutes.

Thomas?

Thomas!

MIKE ON RADIO:
Attention all units.
Stay close.

Target in sight.
ETA about two minutes.

Damn it.

Thomas!

(SIRENS BLARING)

(ALL CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)

Hey, Thomas!

Sophia!

FBI TEAM LEADER: Execute,
execute, execute!

Thomas! Sophia!

Come on.

Thomas!

Hey, Thomas, Sophia.

They're right behind us.
Every field team
in the D.C. area.

Don't worry.

No, you don't understand.
This place is gonna be
crawling with agents.

It won't take
them any time at all

to find that and
come after you.

I told you, don't worry.

(RUMBLING)

What have you done?

We have to go now.

Thomas, call it off. Now.

I can't. It's too Iate.

This is it, Simon.

Thomas...

I promise you,
there's nothing I can do.
We gotta go.

Simon, you have to
come with us now.

It's too Iate
for you to go back.
You have to come with us now!

I'm sorry.

PIease!

Simon, come!

(MEDICAL EQUIPMENT BEEPING)

Mason?

A sunflower.

I know how much
you Iike them.

How they used to
Iight up the house.

Oh!

Are you an angel?

No.

I'm so far from that.

But you're here.

I'm here.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for everything.

PIease forgive me.

I waited for you.

For so Iong.

Did you Iove me?

I never stopped
Ioving you.

If it were up to me,
we would have gotten married.

We would have had children.

We would have
grown old together.

But

it was up to you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Simon!

PIease.

(GASPS)

MIKE ON RADIO:
Simon, are you in here?

This is Agent Lee.
Evacuate the building now!

It's an order!

(GRUNTING)

(FBI TEAM MEMBERS CHATTERING)

Everybody out of here!

FBI TEAM LEADER:
AII teams, fallback!

Oh, God! Oh, my God!

You guys!

Get out of here!
Get your men out of here!

Oh, God. You're all right.

I'm gonna get you out of here.
Hold on a second!

Hey! Anybody!

(LOUD WHIRRING)

I need help!

Hold on, buddy! Hold on!

Anybody!
Mike, help me out here, man!

I got you.
Come on, we gotta
get him out of here!

What the hell...
Come on!

I need you! Let's go!

Hang on, buddy! Hang on!

We got you.
Let's go, Iet's go!

Come on!

Look out!

We gotta go over!

I got him!

Got him?
Yeah.

SIMON:
Let's go!

No! Mike! Go!

Come on!

Go, I'II be right behind you!

Just go!

Come on! Come on!

(COUGHING)

Simon?

Simon!

Simon!
