The Following (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 15 - The Final Chapter - full transcript
Ryan manages to speak to Debra by cellphone and the search to find where they've buried her begins. When they find the car Joe's followers used, they walk into a trap. The clock is ticking down and Debra is running out of oxygen. Claire meanwhile wakes up in a house by the ocean. Joe is waiting for Ryan to show up so his story can come to an end. He shows her what it's really like to kill someone and be responsible for a death. Ryan and Joe have their final confrontation. There is one of Joe's followers who is off the radar however.
REPORTER: Carroll was convicted in 2004
for the murders of 14 young women.
- All the videos are on this drive--
- Ah, you are a godsend.
[CHUCKLES]
MOLLY: I have to come over more often.
Break-up sex is hot.
- Everyone knows their role?
- We've trained. We're ready.
- I appreciate your dedication, Alex.
- Don't do this, Joe.
RYAN: Something happened,
he's gonna kill her.
He'll give you
the opportunity to save her.
He's gonna give me the opportunity
to witness her death.
Will you grieve for your love
when she dies?
[SCREAMING]
- Why does Claire have to die?
-It's so that you can be reborn.
[CARROLL GROANS]
- Joe, this is such a bad idea.
- Come on!
Joe! Joe! God!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
We got a problem.
Parker's missing.
ALEX: Any last words?
- Don't do this.
- Take small breaths.
- No! Somebody, help!
[SCREAMING]
Somebody! Please! No!
MITCHELL:
Hey, guys? I got something.
Surveillance footage
behind the recreation center.
- Look, that side road.
-It's Parker.
That's the ring leader from last night,
right there.
LD'd as Alex Lipton. Former Army sniper.
Part of the Freedom 13.
Another militia boy.
Okay. What else did Joe say'?
The attack was "Masque of the Red Death."
The girl was quoting "Annabel Lee."
- About lovers by the ocean.
- Joe is playing to Poe's greatest hits.
He's handing us the clues,
we just need to see them.
What the hell?
I got it, I got it.
Hey, buddy. What's going on
What's your name?
- Jack Foster.
- Where'd you get that mask?
- A lady gave it to me.
- That lady tell you her name?
Emma.
Emma Hill. Fan out.
- She could be in the area.
- She gave me $20, told me to put this on...
-...and come over here.
- Can I see that?
Phone number.
[PHONE RINGING]
[PARKER BREATHING HEAVILY]
[PANTING]
[WHIMPERING]
Hello?
- Debra?
- God. Ryan?
[PARKER CRYING]
Where are you? We'll come get you.
I don't know.
- I'm in a box.
- What?
It's a coffin.
I'm buried, Ryan.
Listen to me. You hang on.
We're gonna find you, okay?
Did you hear me?
We're gonna get you out of there.
Please, hurry.
They're bouncing the connection
through a dummy sewer.
All right.
Debra, let's go through this.
I want you to tell us whatever you
remember after they put you in the trunk.
I blacked out.
Not sure for how long.
- At least a few minutes.
- When you woke up?
We went over rail road tracks.
I remember that.
One line runs through the county.
All right. Anything else?
We drove for a while.
- I counted, I got almost to 700.
- That's a little over 10 minutes.
PARKER:
Lots of turns, I...
I tried to keep track, I couldn't.
It's okay.
You're doing great.
Anything else?
At the end,
we turned onto a din road.
I could hear gravel or rocks.
We drove for, uh, maybe five minutes.
Then we stopped and
they opened the trunk.
- And wham you see'?
PARKER. Woods.
It was dark, I couldn't see much.
Two men, one blond, one dark hair.
They put me inside here.
I could hear the shovels and the dirt.
That's all I can remember.
Hey, you did good, Debra.
[PARKER CRYING]
We are going to find you.
Deidre is gonna stay with you.
Debra, I'm here.
I'm gonna stay with you.
- There's eight different rail road crossings.
- She's to the east, Cedarville State Forest.
That's 3000 acres, 12 access roads,
all gravel. Too much ground to cover.
How much time do we have?
They abducted her, traveled by car.
It takes time to bury someone.
- How much air do you think she has?
- Three to five hours, maybe.
- We gotta find her.
- Police found Alex's car.
Route 4 near Cedarville.
We're gonna check it out.
Good morning, Claire.
Whatever it is
you're considering doing, don't.
Now, come on.
Back inside.
This is your ending, a lighthouse?
You don't find that predictable?
- Uh, I find it fitting.
- Or predictable.
It's a motif, Claire.
It bookends the story.
You're a brilliant teacher,
but it never translated to your writing.
- Don't you--
- What, you're gonna kill me?
You're going to anyway.
Might as well get it over with.
- Not just yet, no.
- Right.
- We're waiting for Ryan.
- Yes, we are.
Eh, no, he must bear witness.
Ryan, he has proved remarkably resilient.
But I do believe that your death
will be the one that finally does him in, heh.
Like I said, predictable.
You're not being
terribly good company.
I'm finding your temperament
most, um, provoking.
In fact, I think I've had enough
of you for the moment.
Come on.
[GRUNTS]
Joe! Joe!
[SCREAMS]
WESTON: This is definitely the car.
Why leave it behind?
Flat tire. Assuming after they buried her.
- They could be anywhere.
TURNER: Okay, folks...
...perimeter search of the entire area.
Mike, check it out.
Tire wall puncture.
Somebody knifed it.
They wanted us to find this car.
[GUNSHOT]
OFFICER:
Get down!
All right. Give me some cover.
- Wait. What are you doing?
RYAN: Cover!
[GUNFIRE]
[GUNSHOT]
[GUNSHOT]
Drop it! Drop the weapon.
- Where is Agent Parker'?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
TURNER:
Hardy!
- Cuff him.
AGENT: Get on your knees.
[HANDCUFFS CLICKS]
Put him in our car.
Taking him back to town
for questioning?
Yeah. We got him.
Do what you need to do.
CLAIRE: Who are you?
- My name is Neil Meyer.
- How did you end up here?
- Couple of kids...
-...hired me to bring a boat from Newport.
- What happened to your leg?
It's my ankle.
I think they broke it so I couldn't run.
What the hell is going on here?
Who are these people?
It's Joe Carroll.
[WHIMPERING]
He's going to kill us, isn't he?
Where are we?
Just a nice, quiet place
where we can talk.
WESTON: I met your militia friends,
they had a cool way of questioning me.
- Heh, I heard about that.
- Yeah?
[ALEX GROANS]
Oh. Then you know what's about to happen.
Here's how it works.
We ask a question.
Answer truthfully or we beat you to a pulp.
Where's Agent Parker?
We don't have time for this,
you need to start talking.
Or what? You're FBI, you can't do--
[ALEX GROANING]
I'm sorry. You were saying?
- Get up.
- Where is Agent Parker?
Okay, heh, I'll tell you.
She's in a coffin in the ground.
Where is she? Where is she?
Go ahead, kill me, I'm not talking, heh.
We're not gonna kill you.
But we're gonna get really, really close.
[SCREAMING]
Where is she? Where?
- Last chance. Where?
- Okay! Okay, I'll tell you!
- Route 32.
- Where on 32?
Woods, near Macon Street.
[ALEX GROANING]
- Yeah, we got a location.
- Got it.
Woods off Route 32, Macon Street.
Go! Now! Now!
We're 45 minutes away.
If you're lying, I will kill you.
Get up. Get up!
[GRUNTS]
This won't budge.
- Hey. You should sit.
- No. No.
We need to get you out,
so you could go for help, understand?
[DOOR OPENS]
Come with me.
- Where?
- In here. I'm lonely.
Joe, this man needs help.
You don't need him, you have me.
Do shut up.
You're so bloody noble.
Always thinking of others.
Sit down.
Hands. Hands!
What do you need that man for?
You have your boat.
You have me.
Mm-hm, perhaps you're right.
- I suppose I should finish him off.
- No.
Joe, you have to stop this.
What if Ryan doesn't make it?
[SCOFFS]
I left a pretty big trail
of bread crumbs to follow so...
...I think, uh, he'll make it in time.
Anything to save the love of his life.
Do you remember, Claire,
when we used to be in love?
That love was a lie, Joe.
Hmm?
We were really good together.
I'm really gonna miss you, Claire.
TURNER [OVER PHONE]:
My men are on their way, but they buried her...
-...in the middle of nowhere.
- Just hurry.
- How much longer?
- Five minutes. Ten at most.
[LINE RINGING]
Debra, hold on just one second, okay?
Yes? Ryan!
- How is she doing?
- I have her on the line. Um, she's scared, Ryan.
- Put her on.
- Debra? Ryan is on.
Debra?
Debra?
I'm here.
- Ryan?
- Mike's here with me too.
We know where you are.
We're on our way.
- Can you hear us?
- Yes.
I need you to do me a favor.
- Call my sister.
- We're on our way, okay?
Tell her that I love her.
My younger sister, Beth.
My parents too.
She'll know how to contact them.
We're not close, my family.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
That's my only regret.
Deb, we're on our way, okay?
So stop talking. Just save your air. Right?
Mike, you're a good man.
Don't lose that.
Hey, Deb, stop, okay?
We're getting really close.
Okay, we're almost there.
And Ryan, I chose this life.
The FBI.
I knew the deal.
This is not on you.
You're gonna make it.
You need to hold on.
This is not on you.
Don'! you take it.
I am not your fault.
- I knew the deal.
- Please, just hold on.
Please, just hold on, Deb.
Mike and I--
We're gonna be there soon.
I know.
RYAN:
Get out!
Where the hell is she?
Where is she?
End of the path.
Get down. Get down!
You'd better hurry.
Ifs her! Debra!
Debra! We're here!
Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
Get it by the sides. Ready?
RYAN:
One, two--
Oh, my God, she's not breathing.
- Get her out. Get her out.
- Okay.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
[PANTING]
Aw, that's too bad.
Just a little too late. Bummer.
[CHUCKLES]
WESTON:
Ryan.
Ryan, no!
Come on, where are they?
WESTON: What is that?
-it's Joe's book. Left in the coffin.
He planned the whole thing.
It's all part of this stupid book.
"Ryan prayed that she was still alive.
He started digging
and finally found the coffin...
[CRYING]
...inside she laid.
He desperately tried to revive her,
but Ryan was too late.
Agent Debra Parker was dead."
Even talks about me
finding this manuscript:
"Hidden inside the
coffin was an envelope."
How would he know exactly
what would happen?
He doesn't. It says that you died.
Alex shot you in the woods.
In this story, you're dead.
So we can still change the story.
Right?
What happens, what's next?
[WESTON PANTING]
Okay.
Ryan? What is it?
What's next?
- It doesn't say.
- Of course it does.
- Ryan.
-It's for me. Alone.
- You don't get to do this by yourself.
- This is my fight, Mike.
How can you say that?
You don't think this is my fight too?
- After what Joe's done? This is my fight!
- He wants you dead.
He wants everybody close to me dead.
That was his plan.
Yeah, but I'm not.
Ryan, we can surprise him.
- I can't risk it.
- Hey, Ryan, you don't get to decide!
RYAN:
Stay here.
- You're not gonna shoot me. Ryan--
- I'll shoot you in the leg.
I'm sorry, Mike.
Ryan...
[ENGINE STARTS]
[PANTING]
When did you know?
Hmm?
- Know what?
- That I liked killing things...
...young girls and such, hmm.
When did you know?
I've wondered when you knew.
- When you were arrested.
- Yeah, you...
You suspected or you knew?
Ryan came to me.
He told me about
the literary references.
[SCOFFS]
[GRUNTS]
- You turned me in.
- No.
He gave me the details on the victims
and he saw the symbolism.
- I sent him to you.
- Oh, heh, thanks for that.
[WHIMPERING]
I was blinded when it came to you.
I loved you.
- You were my husband.
- Hmm. Ryan pitches up...
...with his cocksure swagger
and you finally face the truth.
So you knew.
- No. No, I didn't.
- Hmm, yes.
No, I should have seen it, but I didn't know.
Because I didn't see it, those girls died.
I should have known,
I should have known what you were!
I suppose you should have, heh.
[CLAIRE CRYING]
I'm sorry. Claire.
That was a horrible thing to say.
You mustn't blame yourself.
Denial is a powerful thing.
Yes, it runs very deep.
And it shields us from the worst truths.
No, not me. I should've seen it.
- It was as if I killed those girls myself.
- No, you certainly did not!
You are the victim here, Claire.
No. No.
Just, just...
NEIL:
Please let me go.
CARROLL: No. Come here!
- Joe?
NEIL:
I won't tell anyone!
- Wait, what are you doing?
- No talking.
Please.
Men. GROANING]
CLAIRE:
No, Joe!
- Claire!
- No!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
That, Claire...
...is what ifs like to actually kill someone.
Can you see the difference now?
You killed no one...
...Claire.
So don't you dare
take responsibility for my actions.
I earned them.
I own them.
They are mine.
Lose your gun and phone.
Hello, Emma.
Get on your knees,
hands on your head.
Do you think I can't kill you?
I've been instructed
to shoot you, Ryan.
We're not playing around anymore.
This is it.
If you want to see Claire again,
this is the only way.
Just tell me where she is.
[GRUNTING]
[GASPING]
Nice to see you again, Ryan.
[RYAN PANTING]
Oh, you're awake, finally.
Sit down. Sit down!
Gonna need you to be
a lot less combative.
It's okay, it's gonna be okay.
I knew you'd turn up.
Claire had, uh, her doubts.
You found the book?
Of course, you would've noticed
the final chapter is missing.
That's because we are writing it now.
You and I, huh?
How's it gonna end, Ryan? Hmm?
Does good triumph over evil?
Does the hero rescue the girl?
My hands are tied, Joe.
- Doesn't make for a fair fight.
- Pfft, heh.
I have been stabbed with both a knife...
...and a fork, so I really don't think
there's gonna be any more fighting, heh.
- Claire, you okay?
- Oh, she's fine.
[WHIMPERING]
We've had a long chat, Claire and I...
...about all sorts of things.
About, uh, her guilt, her suffering...
...her bad choice in men.
We damaged souls, heh, we really do
attract one another, don't we, heh?
Cursed with a bad picker, you are.
And let's face it, why would anyone
fall in love with either of us?
Total bloody disasters.
We're so, so much alike.
Your ending, Joe.
Tell me about it.
What's my part, huh?
What do I have to do?
Well, you have to be...
[CHUCKLES]
You have to be honest here, Ryan.
- You got it.
- Right.
So when did you
fall in love with my wife?
- I don't know.
- Hmm.
When you first met her, Ryan.
Love at first sight,
that's the acceptable answer.
It starts as an attraction, but later were
able to look back on it and know that...
...we always knew.
Yet, as much how I regard her,
you and I, as a matter of fact...
...loved her at first sight.
You have to admit...
...we're connected.
- Not by love.
- Ah, well, then...
...you have yet to truly reflect.
So, tell me, hmm,
on this cozy night of truths...
...when did you realize that I was,
uh, the killer?
- I started following you.
- No, Ryan, you didn't follow me.
No, you followed Claire.
I followed her to see
if she would lead me to you.
And then you fell in love with her.
Yeah.
Love will make this
all the easier to do.
- Let's begin.
- Wait! Don't! Joe, don't!
It's too predictable,
kill me instead!
- That's not the ending, Ryan.
- No, Joe! Please, please, Joe!
- Shall we start with her eyes?
- No, Joe, stop! Listen.
Kill me.
No one's gonna see it coming.
[CLAIRE CRYING]
It's the best ending. I'm the hero,
you can let her go! But I have got to die!
- No one is gonna expect that.
- Claire must die, Ryan.
To honor your death curse,
because it is by far...
...the most interesting thing about you!
It's not gonna work, Joe!
It's overkill!
You're gonna destroy the story.
No one's gonna read that.
It reeks.
You don't even know good writing.
That's why you're a teacher, right?
Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.
Listen to you,
trying to get under my skin.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, it's not hard.
You see, I know all the trigger words.
Second rate, no-talent...
-...wannabe, pretentious, overwrought.
- Yeah.
Flop.
I'm so bored with you.
I'm so bored with you
and Edgar Allan Poe.
What a trumped-up,
piece of nothing talent he was.
Loser morphine addict
just as pathetic as you.
[CARROLL & RYAN GRUNTING]
- You all right?
- Yes. Kill him.
Go kill him!
[GRUNTING]
[RYAN PANTING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GUNSHOT]
[CARROLL SCREAMING]
CLAIRE:
Ryan!
[CRYING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
ERT's combing the area, we got dive teams
in the water, they found partial remains.
Claire mentioned a guy, Neil Meyer, I want
confirmation it's Joe's body they're finding.
Oh, we won't know until we run official tests.
Coroner confirmed a dental match.
Anybody contact Parker's family yet?
WESTON:
Quantico reached out to her sister.
I was gonna call her
once you finished up.
- What about the rest of the followers?
- Well, we've got seven total in custody.
Is he dead?
- Did they find the body?
- Yeah. What's left of it.
You're sure? You have to be
sure it's him, are you sure'?
We'll have official confirmation soon.
Claire, I have a call for you.
I think you'll want to take it.
CLAIRE:
Hello?
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
Hi, Joey. Hi, it's Mommy.
Joey's in D.C.,
where the briefing will start tomorrow.
I'll take her to my place
and we'll fly down first thing.
I'll send two men with you.
You Okay?
No.

in his novel, The Gothic Sea...
...serial killer Joe Carroll's life
came to an end early this morning...
-...when he was burned to death...
- Okay. Thanks.
REPORTER:
...while trying to escape the FBI.
- Sources within the bureau tell us that his...
- Is it true?
Dental records match. Early DNA.
He's dead.
[SIGHS]
- You okay?
- Yeah, heh, I'm just a little sore.
I'm fine.
- You hungry?
- I'm starving. Do you-J? Do you have food?
- No, heh.
- No, heh.
All right. I'll get cleaned up.
REPORTER:
Hardy was the agent who captured Cam“...
...on the Winslow University campus
10 years ago.
Once again, for those of you just tuning in,
we have confirmed that Joe Carroll is dead.
We know that many of Carroll's followers
have been exposed...
...leaving his cult of killers
all but dismantled.
These recent developments
leave us with the hope...
[WHIMPERING]

has finally come to an end.
We will continue to bring you more on
this story as information becomes available.

He'll give you
the opportunity to save her.
He's gonna give me the opportunity

Will you grieve for your love
when she dies?
[SCREAMING]
- Why does Claire have to die?
-It's so that you can be reborn.
[CARROLL GROANS]

Hello?
- Debra?
- God. Ryan?
[PARKER CRYING]
Where are you? We'll come get you.
I don't know.
- I'm in a box.
- What?
It's a coffin.
I'm buried, Ryan.
Listen to me. You hang on.
We're gonna find you, okay?
Did you hear me?
We're gonna get you out of there.
Please, hurry.
They're bouncing the connection
through a dummy sewer.

I could hear the shovels and the dirt.
That's all I can remember.
Hey, you did good, Debra.
[PARKER CRYING]
We are going to find you.
Deidre is gonna stay with you.
Debra, I'm here.

- Yes, we are.
Eh, no, he must bear witness.
Ryan, he has proved remarkably resilient.
But I do believe that your death
will be the one that finally does him in, heh.
Like I said, predictable.
You're not being
terribly good company.
I'm finding your temperament
most, um, provoking.
In fact, I think I've had enough
of you for the moment.
Come on.
[GRUNTS]
Joe! Joe!
[SCREAMS]
WESTON: This is definitely the car.
Why leave it behind?
Flat tire. Assuming after they buried her.
- They could be anywhere.
TURNER: Okay, folks...
...perimeter search of the entire area.
Mike, check it out.
Tire wall puncture.
Somebody knifed it.
They wanted us to find this car.
[GUNSHOT]
OFFICER:
Get down!
All right. Give me some cover.
- Wait. What are you doing?
RYAN: Cover!
[GUNFIRE]
[GUNSHOT]
[GUNSHOT]
Drop it! Drop the weapon.
- Where is Agent Parker'?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
TURNER:
Hardy!
- Cuff him.
AGENT: Get on your knees.
[HANDCUFFS CLICKS]
Put him in our car.
Taking him back to town
for questioning?
Yeah. We got him.
Do what you need to do.
CLAIRE: Who are you?
- My name is Neil Meyer.
- How did you end up here?
- Couple of kids...
-...hired me to bring a boat from Newport.
- What happened to your leg?
It's my ankle.
I think they broke it so I couldn't run.
What the hell is going on here?
Who are these people?
It's Joe Carroll.
[WHIMPERING]
He's going to kill us, isn't he?
Where are we?
Just a nice, quiet place
where we can talk.
WESTON: I met your militia friends,
they had a cool way of questioning me.
- Heh, I heard about that.
- Yeah?
[ALEX GROANS]
Oh. Then you know what's about to happen.
Here's how it works.
We ask a question.
Answer truthfully or we beat you to a pulp.
Where's Agent Parker?
We don't have time for this,
you need to start talking.
Or what? You're FBI, you can't do--
[ALEX GROANING]
I'm sorry. You were saying?
- Get up.
- Where is Agent Parker?
Okay, heh, I'll tell you.
She's in a coffin in the ground.
Where is she? Where is she?
Go ahead, kill me, I'm not talking, heh.
We're not gonna kill you.
But we're gonna get really, really close.
[SCREAMING]
Where is she? Where?
- Last chance. Where?
- Okay! Okay, I'll tell you!
- Route 32.
- Where on 32?
Woods, near Macon Street.
[ALEX GROANING]
- Yeah, we got a location.
- Got it.
Woods off Route 32, Macon Street.
Go! Now! Now!
We're 45 minutes away.
If you're lying, I will kill you.
Get up. Get up!
[GRUNTS]
This won't budge.
- Hey. You should sit.
- No. No.
We need to get you out,
so you could go for help, understand?
[DOOR OPENS]
Come with me.
- Where?
- In here. I'm lonely.
Joe, this man needs help.
You don't need him, you have me.
Do shut up.
You're so bloody noble.
Always thinking of others.
Sit down.
Hands. Hands!
What do you need that man for?
You have your boat.
You have me.
Mm-hm, perhaps you're right.
- I suppose I should finish him off.
- No.
Joe, you have to stop this.
What if Ryan doesn't make it?
[SCOFFS]
I left a pretty big trail
of bread crumbs to follow so...
...I think, uh, he'll make it in time.
Anything to save the love of his life.
Do you remember, Claire,
when we used to be in love?
That love was a lie, Joe.
Hmm?
We were really good together.
I'm really gonna miss you, Claire.
TURNER [OVER PHONE]:
My men are on their way, but they buried her...
-...in the middle of nowhere.
- Just hurry.
- How much longer?
- Five minutes. Ten at most.
[LINE RINGING]
Debra, hold on just one second, okay?
Yes? Ryan!
- How is she doing?
- I have her on the line. Um, she's scared, Ryan.
- Put her on.
- Debra? Ryan is on.
Debra?
Debra?
I'm here.
- Ryan?
- Mike's here with me too.
We know where you are.
We're on our way.
- Can you hear us?
- Yes.
I need you to do me a favor.
- Call my sister.
- We're on our way, okay?
Tell her that I love her.
My younger sister, Beth.
My parents too.
She'll know how to contact them.
We're not close, my family.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
That's my only regret.
Deb, we're on our way, okay?
So stop talking. Just save your air. Right?
Mike, you're a good man.
Don't lose that.
Hey, Deb, stop, okay?
We're getting really close.
Okay, we're almost there.
And Ryan, I chose this life.
The FBI.
I knew the deal.
This is not on you.
You're gonna make it.
You need to hold on.
This is not on you.
Don'! you take it.
I am not your fault.
- I knew the deal.
- Please, just hold on.
Please, just hold on, Deb.
Mike and I--
We're gonna be there soon.
I know.
RYAN:
Get out!
Where the hell is she?
Where is she?
End of the path.
Get down. Get down!
You'd better hurry.
Ifs her! Debra!
Debra! We're here!
Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
Get it by the sides. Ready?
RYAN:
One, two--
Oh, my God, she's not breathing.
- Get her out. Get her out.
- Okay.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
[PANTING]
Aw, that's too bad.
Just a little too late. Bummer.
[CHUCKLES]
WESTON:
Ryan.
Ryan, no!
Come on, where are they?
WESTON: What is that?
-it's Joe's book. Left in the coffin.
He planned the whole thing.
It's all part of this stupid book.
"Ryan prayed that she was still alive.
He started digging
and finally found the coffin...
[CRYING]
...inside she laid.
He desperately tried to revive her,
but Ryan was too late.
Agent Debra Parker was dead."
Even talks about me
finding this manuscript:
"Hidden inside the
coffin was an envelope."
How would he know exactly
what would happen?
He doesn't. It says that you died.
Alex shot you in the woods.
In this story, you're dead.
So we can still change the story.
Right?
What happens, what's next?
[WESTON PANTING]
Okay.
Ryan? What is it?
What's next?
- It doesn't say.
- Of course it does.
- Ryan.
-It's for me. Alone.
- You don't get to do this by yourself.
- This is my fight, Mike.
How can you say that?
You don't think this is my fight too?
- After what Joe's done? This is my fight!
- He wants you dead.
He wants everybody close to me dead.
That was his plan.
Yeah, but I'm not.
Ryan, we can surprise him.
- I can't risk it.
- Hey, Ryan, you don't get to decide!
RYAN:
Stay here.
- You're not gonna shoot me. Ryan--
- I'll shoot you in the leg.
I'm sorry, Mike.
Ryan...
[ENGINE STARTS]
[PANTING]
When did you know?
Hmm?
- Know what?
- That I liked killing things...
...young girls and such, hmm.
When did you know?
I've wondered when you knew.
- When you were arrested.
- Yeah, you...
You suspected or you knew?
Ryan came to me.
He told me about
the literary references.
[SCOFFS]
[GRUNTS]
- You turned me in.
- No.
He gave me the details on the victims
and he saw the symbolism.
- I sent him to you.
- Oh, heh, thanks for that.
[WHIMPERING]
I was blinded when it came to you.
I loved you.
- You were my husband.
- Hmm. Ryan pitches up...
...with his cocksure swagger
and you finally face the truth.
So you knew.
- No. No, I didn't.
- Hmm, yes.
No, I should have seen it, but I didn't know.
Because I didn't see it, those girls died.
I should have known,
I should have known what you were!
I suppose you should have, heh.
[CLAIRE CRYING]
I'm sorry. Claire.
That was a horrible thing to say.
You mustn't blame yourself.
Denial is a powerful thing.
Yes, it runs very deep.
And it shields us from the worst truths.
No, not me. I should've seen it.
- It was as if I killed those girls myself.
- No, you certainly did not!
You are the victim here, Claire.
No. No.
Just, just...
NEIL:
Please let me go.
CARROLL: No. Come here!
- Joe?
NEIL:
I won't tell anyone!
- Wait, what are you doing?
- No talking.
Please.
Men. GROANING]
CLAIRE:
No, Joe!
- Claire!
- No!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
That, Claire...
...is what ifs like to actually kill someone.
Can you see the difference now?
You killed no one...
...Claire.
So don't you dare
take responsibility for my actions.
I earned them.
I own them.
They are mine.
Lose your gun and phone.
Hello, Emma.
Get on your knees,
hands on your head.
Do you think I can't kill you?
I've been instructed
to shoot you, Ryan.
We're not playing around anymore.
This is it.
If you want to see Claire again,
this is the only way.
Just tell me where she is.
[GRUNTING]
[GASPING]
Nice to see you again, Ryan.
[RYAN PANTING]
Oh, you're awake, finally.
Sit down. Sit down!
Gonna need you to be
a lot less combative.
It's okay, it's gonna be okay.
I knew you'd turn up.
Claire had, uh, her doubts.
You found the book?
Of course, you would've noticed
the final chapter is missing.
That's because we are writing it now.
You and I, huh?
How's it gonna end, Ryan? Hmm?
Does good triumph over evil?
Does the hero rescue the girl?
My hands are tied, Joe.
- Doesn't make for a fair fight.
- Pfft, heh.
I have been stabbed with both a knife...
...and a fork, so I really don't think
there's gonna be any more fighting, heh.
- Claire, you okay?
- Oh, she's fine.
[WHIMPERING]
We've had a long chat, Claire and I...
...about all sorts of things.
About, uh, her guilt, her suffering...
...her bad choice in men.
We damaged souls, heh, we really do
attract one another, don't we, heh?
Cursed with a bad picker, you are.
And let's face it, why would anyone
fall in love with either of us?
Total bloody disasters.
We're so, so much alike.
Your ending, Joe.
Tell me about it.
What's my part, huh?
What do I have to do?
Well, you have to be...
[CHUCKLES]
You have to be honest here, Ryan.
- You got it.
- Right.
So when did you
fall in love with my wife?
- I don't know.
- Hmm.
When you first met her, Ryan.
Love at first sight,
that's the acceptable answer.
It starts as an attraction, but later were
able to look back on it and know that...
...we always knew.
Yet, as much how I regard her,
you and I, as a matter of fact...
...loved her at first sight.
You have to admit...
...we're connected.
- Not by love.
- Ah, well, then...
...you have yet to truly reflect.
So, tell me, hmm,
on this cozy night of truths...
...when did you realize that I was,
uh, the killer?
- I started following you.
- No, Ryan, you didn't follow me.
No, you followed Claire.
I followed her to see
if she would lead me to you.
And then you fell in love with her.
Yeah.
Love will make this
all the easier to do.
- Let's begin.
- Wait! Don't! Joe, don't!
It's too predictable,
kill me instead!
- That's not the ending, Ryan.
- No, Joe! Please, please, Joe!
- Shall we start with her eyes?
- No, Joe, stop! Listen.
Kill me.
No one's gonna see it coming.
[CLAIRE CRYING]
It's the best ending. I'm the hero,
you can let her go! But I have got to die!
- No one is gonna expect that.
- Claire must die, Ryan.
To honor your death curse,
because it is by far...
...the most interesting thing about you!
It's not gonna work, Joe!
It's overkill!
You're gonna destroy the story.
No one's gonna read that.
It reeks.
You don't even know good writing.
That's why you're a teacher, right?
Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.
Listen to you,
trying to get under my skin.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, it's not hard.
You see, I know all the trigger words.
Second rate, no-talent...
-...wannabe, pretentious, overwrought.
- Yeah.
Flop.
I'm so bored with you.
I'm so bored with you
and Edgar Allan Poe.
What a trumped-up,
piece of nothing talent he was.
Loser morphine addict
just as pathetic as you.
[CARROLL & RYAN GRUNTING]
- You all right?
- Yes. Kill him.
Go kill him!
[GRUNTING]
[RYAN PANTING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GUNSHOT]
[CARROLL SCREAMING]
CLAIRE:
Ryan!
[CRYING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
ERT's combing the area, we got dive teams
in the water, they found partial remains.
Claire mentioned a guy, Neil Meyer, I want
confirmation it's Joe's body they're finding.
Oh, we won't know until we run official tests.
Coroner confirmed a dental match.
Anybody contact Parker's family yet?
WESTON:
Quantico reached out to her sister.
I was gonna call her
once you finished up.
- What about the rest of the followers?
- Well, we've got seven total in custody.
Is he dead?
- Did they find the body?
- Yeah. What's left of it.
You're sure? You have to be
sure it's him, are you sure'?
We'll have official confirmation soon.
Claire, I have a call for you.
I think you'll want to take it.
CLAIRE:
Hello?
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
Hi, Joey. Hi, it's Mommy.
Joey's in D.C.,
where the briefing will start tomorrow.
I'll take her to my place
and we'll fly down first thing.
I'll send two men with you.
You Okay?
No.
REPORTER: Just like the main character
in his novel, The Gothic Sea...
...serial killer Joe Carroll's life
came to an end early this morning...
-...when he was burned to death...
- Okay. Thanks.
REPORTER:
...while trying to escape the FBI.
- Sources within the bureau tell us that his...
- Is it true?
Dental records match. Early DNA.
He's dead.
[SIGHS]
- You okay?
- Yeah, heh, I'm just a little sore.
I'm fine.
- You hungry?
- I'm starving. Do you-J? Do you have food?
- No, heh.
- No, heh.
All right. I'll get cleaned up.
REPORTER:
Hardy was the agent who captured Cam“...
...on the Winslow University campus
10 years ago.
Once again, for those of you just tuning in,
we have confirmed that Joe Carroll is dead.
We know that many of Carroll's followers
have been exposed...
...leaving his cult of killers
all but dismantled.
These recent developments
leave us with the hope...
[WHIMPERING]
...that Joe Carroll's terror
has finally come to an end.
We will continue to bring you more on
this story as information becomes available.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
We intercepted this downstairs.
- What do I owe you?
-It's on us.
Thanks, man.
[GRUNTS]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[GROANING]
[MOLLY PANTING]
You were always my chapter, Ryan.
Joe promised me I would be the one.
