The Following (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 13 - Havenport - full transcript

MAN [ON> TV]: Carroll was convicted in 2004
for the murders of 14 young women.

VINCE: Don't do that, Claire.
- Take me to my son.

RYAN: What's next, Joe?
- Enjoying my family.

CARROLL: I really do believe
that you will love me again.

Mom!

Oh, my God, Joey.

It's not gonna work, Joe.

CARROLL:
The FBI discovered the camp.

It's what you thought.
A boot camp where they trained.

So our military cult peeps
are all pan of Freedom 13.

- A militia?
MITCH ELL: Mm-hm.



Joe Carroll is associated
with Daniel Monroe.

- What are the FBI gonna find there?
- Everything.

The contraband could trace back
to Daniel.

He's a friend, Joe.

This is precisely why
I won't be asking you to kill him.

- Agent Weston. Tell us where Claire is.
- I don't know.

You know everything about me.
Roderick? That what they call you?

[BOTH GRUNT]

[GROANING]

PARKER: I wanna introduce you to someone.
This is Sheriff Nelson of Havenport.

- Whatever we can do to help.
- Great.

RODERICK: If Joe Carroll is here,
we're gonna find him.

I've got roadblocks set up on every road
in and out of town.

- Doing car searches.
- Still waiting on property records.



Yeah, I'll call the courthouse,
see if, uh, I can't get them to hustle.

Thank you. I know it's been along night.

It's all good. We never get this kind
of excitement around here anyway, so, uh...

I'll be right back.

- Hey.
- Hey.

RYAN: How you doing?
- Knock me down, I get back up.

Mitchell could use you in the computer lab.
It's in the back.

- She's going through the police dockets.
- Will do.

RODERICK: Yeah, Bennie,
I'm checking on those property records.

There's a whole army of FBI
folks here today.

That's classified, Bennie.

Yeah.

Yep.

- Excuse me, sheriff.
- Yeah?

What can I do for you?

You need to put your hands up.

- Excuse me?
- You heard me. Hands up.

Shouldn't you be in the hospital right now?
Near death?

I'm right here.

And you need to put your hands up now.

Oh.

Oh, that's not gonna happen.

Hey, hey. Stop right there. Hey.

MAN: He's got a gun. He's got a gun.
- Stop him.

Hey.
Hey, I'm a federal agent.

[ALL SHOUTING]

I'm a federal agent. Stop the sheriff.

Deputies are being put in holding
until they can be vetted.

We need to figure out who's in this cult.

I want a full report of every single person
that worked in this office. Civilians too.

Hey, you okay?

He was right in front of me.

We'll get him.

Okay, Roderick's real name is
Tim Nelson of Crowley, Virginia.

His mom is a retired mayor.
His father was an Army colonel.

Died in the Gulf War when he was a child.
He went to Winslow University.

Graduated 2004.
Political science major, minor in literature.

I'll give you one guess
who his faculty adviser was.

How does someone like that
become sheriff?

Hell if I know.
I mean, the guy won awards.

We'll question everyone,
maybe turn something up.

So we've made Roderick.
The cults gonna try to make a move now.

We need to lock this town down.

I need you to keep a close eye
on them for me.

Please, heh, Claire hates me.

I'm the last person
who should be watching her.

I stole her son, Joe.
I'm sleeping with her husband.

I'm not winning her over any time soon.

- Heh, does she know about us?
- No.

That will stay between us.

-It's more fun that way.
- Heh.

There's nothing in the news about Daniel
Monroe's death. They're keeping it quiet.

Hmm.

No news is good news, I suppose.

We have a problem, Joe.

[PANTING]

We are...

[CHUCKLES]

...royally screwed.

All right. National Guard's en route.
State police are manning the road blocks.

Coast Guard is monitoring waterways.
Got two choppers. D.C. sent more.

Okay, what about the sheriff's residence?

Uh, it's a small apartment in town.
Basically empty.

- A fake home for his fake life as a sheriff.
- He's at his real home with Joe.

Where are we on property records,
real estate reports...

...foreclosures in the last year?

We're looking for a big piece of property.
It's gonna be rural, hidden away.

NICK:
Here comes the press.

Media blackout, folks,
until we know what we're dealing with.

RODERICK:
The agent saw my face, Joe.

He recognized me. How was I to know
he'd walk into the station?

-It you'd dealt with him properly--
- I put him in the hospital.

Look, we have an escape plan,
we need to execute it.

We divide ourselves up,
we leave in small groups.

- All of us.
- Roderick, you have to calm down.

We're in trouble here, Joe.
And it's your fault.

- I told you to leave Daniel Monroe alone.
- Oh.

You didn't have to kill him.

The FBI found Daniel Monroe.

- I didn't have a choice.
- That's what led the FBI here in the first--

Look...

...I fixed the property records
and hid this place...

...but it's just a matter of time now.
They will find us.

- We need to leave now.
- No.

It's not time yet.

Heh, not time?

I don't understand, Joe.

-Is there something I don't know about?
- No.

No, of course not.

What is it, Joe?
There's something you're not telling me.

Roderick,
you are clearly getting paranoid.

We have a long history together,
you and I.

You can trust me.

- Joe, if there is a different plan...
- Oh.

...some other vision that you have for us,
now is the time to tell me.

I have done everything for you.

I have dedicated my entire life to you.

I'm the one out there watching things for us
while you sit here...

...day after day, writing a book...

...wining and dining a wife
that's never gonna want you back.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[RODERICK COUGHING]

[WHIMPERING]

It was all a lie, huh?

You used me?

You used me?

You need to pull yourself together.

Or what?

You gonna kill me?

You gonna kill me like you did Daniel?

Joe.

Joe?

You're gonna wanna see this.
Ryan Hardy's on the news.

[REPORTERS SHOUTING ON TV]

The FBI has reason lo believe that
Joe Carroll and his cult of followers...

...are somewhere in the vicinity
of Havenport, Maryland.

WOMAN". You don? have an exact location?
RYAN". We're narrowing ii down.

In the meantime,
we're willing to make a deal.

If any follower or acolyte of Joe Carroll
is willing to cooperate with authorities...

...they will be given full immunity
from prosecution...

...for crimes he or she
may have committed.

They need to contact the Havenport
Sheriff's Office with that information.

But keep in mind...

...that this is a one-time, one day,
first come, first served deal only.

What is it?

Ryan's holding a press conference.

[CHUCKLES]

I know there's doubt among you.

But I'm speaking to that one person that
simply made a mistake by fol/owing Joe.

There's still time for you.

You can turn back
and be completely exonerated...

...if you'll just help us.

The FBI are clearly desperate.

We, on the other hand, are not.

[CHUCKLES]

So Emma's bad?

What about Jacob?

He's my favorite.

We play video games together.
He's nice.

Sweetie...

...I'm so sorry,
but we can't trust any of these people.

But you know what?

We have each other, don't we?

We're gonna leave real soon,
I promise, okay?

[CLAIRE GRUNTS]

Mom! Mom!

[JOEY SCREAMING]

Mom!

- What are you doing?
JOEY: Mom!

Mom!

No, please, don't you dare do this!
Don't!

[ENGINE REVS]

-Joey!
-Mom!

- Joey! Joey! No!
JOEY: Mom!

[SCREAMING]

What's going on? Why did he take Joey?
What's happening?

We had a disagreement. I'm handling it.

- How? He left!
- I will find Joey. I promise you.

Where is he taking him?
What is he going--?

Claire!

I've said I will find Joey.

I will fix this.

Now you need to calm down.

Because I am having a really bad day.

[SCOFFS]

- I'd go myself, but the FBl's all over town.
- No.

You can't risk that.

I should go. Joey knows me.

Hmm, heh.

Uh, Jacob, you know Michael and Ethan.

We've met.

Jacob has developed a very strong
rapport with my son...

...so he'll be going with you
to find Roderick.

He's a wanted man.
No place for him to hide in town.

He'll run. He'll use back roads
with smaller roadblocks.

He's got multiple fake IDs.

But I want you to start with Ryan Hardy.

If anyone knows how to find Roderick,
it'll be him.

Yes, sir.
We'll monitor the sheriff's station closely.

And, please, bring my son back.

And kill Roderick.

He's betrayed us.

Make him suffer if you can.

I was supposed to get off an hour ago,
but Kerry didn't show up for her shift.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll call you when I get off.

[GASPS]

Damn, Tim, you scared me.

Hey, what did you do?
Everyone's looking for you.

I need your help, Betty.

NICK:
Who told you to hold a press conference?

You have no authority to offer a deal.

I know. I'm just trying to get one of them
to come forward, to talk.

PARKER: It could work.
There's always dissension in a cult.

If just one person is questioning
their commitment, that's all we need.

All I'm asking is that you run stuff by me.

- We're working towards the same goal here.
- Now you tell me.

WESTON:
A waitress from a diner in town...

...was seen getting in the car
with the sheriff a few minutes ago.

- Why don't I pull over and you take my car?
- I told you, Betty, they are wrong about me.

This is all one big misunderstanding.

There's police up ahead.
What should I do?

Act natural. And call me Brian.

- Hey there. What's going on?
- Can I get some IDs?

Step out of the car, sir.

[BETTY SCREAMING]

[GASPING]

Drive.

[TIRES SCREECH]

CLAIRE:
Jacob.

Hey, I know you're going to look for Joey.

I'll bring him back, Claire.

I know you care about him. I do.

He's a little kid.
He doesn't have a choice in this.

So, please, if you find him,
please, don't bring him back here.

Take him far away,
somewhere the police can find him.

Because he doesn't belong here.
You know that.

I am doing what Joe wants.

RODERICK:
Hey.

You killed those men.

No other option, Betty.

This is not happening.

[WHIMPERING]

- I'm afraid it is, Betty.
- Oh, my God. No, no.

[SIREN WAILING]

MAN 1:
Drop the gun.

MAN 2:
Freeze where you are.

MAN 3:
Drop the gun.

[BETTY PANTING]

MAN 4:
Put it down!

Right now!

RODERICK: Don't shoot.
- Drop the weapon. Drop the gun.

Drop it. Now!

- Get down.
BETTY: No, no.

WESTON: On the ground!
- I surrender.

- Get down.
- I surrender.

I'm gonna cut right to the chase.

I made a rather impulsive move earlier.

It's a character defect.

Gets me in a lot of trouble.

Needless to say, I wanna make a deal.

RYAN: A deal requires you
to have something that I need.

- Where's Joe?
- Oh, he's somewhere.

And he is really mad at me.

Sea, I task a little, uh, insurance policy
from Joe to protect myself from you...

...and anybody else
who might wanna kill me.

His name is Joey Matthews.

3063'-

That ring a bell?

You expect me to believe
that you have Joe Carroll's son?

You don't have to believe me.
Call Joe and ask him yourself.

Okay, you got a number handy?

I had a phone on me
when you arrested me.

Get that phone.

Why'd you take Joe Carroll's kid?

I told you, I'm impulsive.

[PHONE RINGING]

Roderick.

Hello, Joe.

I take it from this call
that, uh, you have Roderick in custody, Ryan?

Yep, I'm staring right at him.
He's about to tell me where I can find you.

No, if, um, heh...

If that indeed were true...

...then, uh, I suspect we'd be having
this conversation in person, Ryan.

So clearly, this call is about
something else entirely.

Well, he has been telling me
a very interesting story about Joey.

RYAN:
Is it true?

Would you, um...?
Would you please tell Roderick...

...that if anything untoward should
happen to my son...

...that I will personally peel the skin
from his body?

Wow.

Things really aren't going your way,
are they, Joe?

NICK:
What was that?

Let him sweat.

Okay.

What do you want?

It's simple.

I'll give you the boy...

-...and you give me my freedom.
- Heh, that is not gonna happen.

[WHISTLING]

Let me make this clear.
Under no circumstances...

...are we negotiating with that killer.
He just murdered two troopers.

- So you're okay with the kid dying? I'm not.
- No one's okay with him dying.

- How do we know this isn't a trap?
- A risk I'm willing to take.

Look, this is my call, Ryan.

I'm not sanctioning a deal.
We'll find another way.

[DOOR OPENS]

Don't talk.

You take me to Joey, I cut you loose.

Knew I could count on you.

Hey, come here. Get in here.

Come on, come on. Let's go, let's go.

Ryan, you'll never get out of here.

Give him the hat.

And the jacket.

Now. Now.

- Oh, there's a camera at the end of this hall.
- Already took care of it.

- How you wanna play this?
- Once Joey's safe, I'll escort you...

...out of town, past the roadblocks.
After that, you're on your own. Get in.

Get rid of your gun and your cell phone.

Not happening-

You want that kid dead?

Tick took, Ryan, keep on wasting time.

And the weapon
you took off the agent, if you please.

Which way we heading?

North.

[ENGINE REVS]

- Yes, Emma, what is it?
- I just--

Come.

Ah, everyone's sort of freaking out.

You know, with the FBI so close.

- We're safe here.
- Are we?

For how long?

- I mean, everyone's worried.
- Everyone...

...just needs to calm down.

[BOTH SIGH]

Now, is there anything else?

I'm worried about Joey.

Mm-mm.

You need to stop this.

Now, I do realize that
I may have given you mixed signals...

...regarding certain aspects
of our relationship.

It's called sex, Joe.

Yes, Emma.

It is sex. That's all it is...

...and nothing more.

Joe, lam not some sniveling schoolgirl.
I know exactly what it is.

Then you should also know
that it has its proper place and time...

...and clearly this is not it.

No, now is the time for you
to worry about Joey's life...

...since you were
so neglectful of it earlier.

Are you blaming me?

Joey was with your wife--

You have had one job since the beginning
and that was to watch over my son.

Claire tried to kill me.
She wouldn't let me get anywhere near--

What is wrong with you?

- No, Emma--
- No.

So he's inside the house?

Why don't we go see?

Come on, now.

[PHONE RINGS]

At the location.
Ryan and suspect are inside.

- We're at the roads turn.
WESTON: I'll get closer.

Hang tight till I have eyes on the kid.

Waiting for a go. Have your men
ready to move on my orders.

Now I've drunk the Ryan Hardy juice.

- This your place?
- No.

But don't worry.

I don't think the owner
will mind us being here.

Where's Joey?

[JOEY GRUNTING]

RYAN:
Hey, come here. it's okay, I got you.

Hey, you're safe now. Come here.

It's okay. It's okay.

- Get back.
WESTON: Drop your weapon.

[GUNSHOT]

Okay, you all right? You good?

Stay right here. Stay right there.

Hey, it can't be our guys.
They're waiting for my call.

It's Joe's people.

Cover me.

Get back. Get back.

Stay back. Stay back.

Stop shooting at the house, idiot.
You're gonna hit the kid.

There's at least
a couple of them out there.

It's Weston. We got shots fired.
Carroll's followers on scene.

Any time you wanna show up.

Okay.

They stopped firing.

Means they're coming. I want you to take
Joey, find someplace safe for him.

You're gonna go
with Agent Weston, okay?

Cover the back of the house.

I got you, you ready? Go, go.

WESTON:
Come on, come on. Here we go. Keep going.

Stay right here.
I'm just gonna check the house, okay?

- Come right back.
- I promise.

[WESTON AND MICHAEL GRUNTING]

[GUNFIRE]

[GASPING]

[JOEY SCREAMS]

[WESTON AND MICHAEL GRUNTING]

Hey, squirt, where you been?
Your mom's been looking everywhere for you.

Shh.

[GRUNTING]

Joey's gone.

That way.

Let me go.

- Mom said you were one of the bad guys.
- That's crazy talk.

- Uh, tell you what, okay? We can ask her.
RYAN: Let him go, Jacob.

Get down, get down, get down.

Stay where you are!

Throw out the gun.

This could end right now.

I gotta bring him back to Joe.
He's counting on me.

Joe doesn't care if you live or die.

[PANTING]

[GUNFIRE]

Jacob.

He's just a kid, man.

You gotta do what's best for Joey.

[PANTING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

I know you care about him, Jacob.
He doesn't deserve this.

Let him go.

Please, let me go, Jacob.

[PANTING]

Jacob, come on.

Nobody has to get hurt here.

Come on, you can end this.
You can end it right now.

It's up to you.

You Okay?

You're Ryan Hardy.

Yeah.

My mom said
you're one of the good guys.

[PANTING]

Come here.

[ALL SHOUTING]

MAN: Breaking news from Havenport
where we just learned...

...that the FBI has in fact rescued
Joey Matthews.

Now, Joey,
who is Joe Carroll's young son...

...had been taken from his home
several weeks ago.

The FBI is not commenting on the
circumstances surrounding the rescue...

...as Joey's mother, Claire, is still missing...

-...but the FBI does believe that Carroll...
- Turn that off, Aaron.

--In the area, but there are
no further details at this time.

Residents of Havenport are being asked--

And you cry?

CLAIRE:
My son is safe.

Our son is safe, Joe.

And we have Ryan bloody Hardy
to thank for that.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Yeah?

EMMA:
Hey.

Mind if I come in?

- What happened tonight?
- Emma, please.

Nothing has to change, you can still hate me.
I just want to make sure you're okay.

What happened tonight?

[SCOFFS]

We're gonna die soon.

I can feel it.

[JACOB CHUCKLES]

- Joe?
- Not now, Claire.

- I know you're upset.
- Yes.

And I am processing those feelings
using the therapy of words, so...

Joe, I'm here.

Joe.

I want to make a deal.

I'm listening.

I'll stay.

I'll do everything you ask
under one condition.

No, no, no.

- You're not gonna hear me out?
- You want me to give up Joey.

CLAIRE:
It's not the life I want for him.

I know it's not the life you want for him,
so I will stay, I won't fight you.

But its just--
It's just gonna be you and me.

And you'd be okay with that?

Eventually, yes.

- Why should I believe you?
- You don't have to.

Time will be the truth.

I loved you once, Joe.

Maybe I can learn to love you again.

I mean, at least-- At least let me try.

If I give up Joey?

Yeah.

- But you're scared of me.
- Just give me some time.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hang on.

CARROLL: Hello, Ryan.

Well, well.

How are you?

Not, heh, terribly well, actually, Ryan.

I'm sorry to say that our story
has taken an unexpected turn.

What happened?
You don't sound so good, Joe.

Well, ifs, um..

It's bad, Ryan. Heh, ifs really, really bad.

It's a complete rewrite,
but if we have to, we have to.

Yeah, ifs a nuisance, but there we are, heh.

Suffice to say, Ryan, it, um
has not been a very good day, heh.

- What happened? Where's Claire?
CARROLL: Ha, ha.

Yes, it has transpired that Claire
is no longer our leading lady.

CARROLL: No, she will not be riding off
into the sunset with me.

Sadly, it is time for Claire to die.

[GRUNTS]

WESTON: Hey, Ryan, there's a woman here.
Says she's part of Carroll's cult.

She saw the news. She wants to talk.

I'm not armed. You don't need the guns.

I checked, she's clean.

Just the same. Who are you?

Melissa. I wanna turn myself in.

Look, I saw you on the news.

Please, help me.

Bring her back.

Thank you.
