The Following (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Siege - full transcript

Carroll was convicted
in 2004

For the murders
of 14 young women.

We need
you in virginia, ryan.

I'm not an agent anymore.

You caught carroll.
No one knows him
like you do.

So what's my sequel
about, joe?

We're gonna
write this together, ryan...

Ohh!

Even though you
slept with my wife.

I have so many surprises
waiting for you.

Agent parker's
taken the lead.



Cults, my specialty.

We know
about the cult.

Gay neighbors
and the nanny,

How do they figure
into your new plot?

Why is my dad
such a bad man?

Maybe he's not so bad.

They were able
to find a signal
in upstate new york,

Dutchess county.

We're gonna find joey.

I know you will.

Hey, guys.
This is megan.

I thought you
were gonna deal
with this.

Paul's the one
that brought her here.

Jacob's never
killed anyone.



I think you should
do it, jacob,

Since you never have.

Get out of here. Go!

She's getting away!

Unh!

Aah!

We both love him,
paul.

Emma?
I'm sorry.

We're not
giving up on you.

You ok?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Where are you going?

Bathroom.

Are you
freaking out?

No. I'm fine.
I just have to pee.

Jacob's freaking out,
isn't he?

Well, he wasn't
last night.

That was fun.

Off the charts.

I'm hungry.

You hungry?

Starved.

Hmm.

All right.

Hello?

Mom?

Joey?

Honey, where are you?

I want to go home.
Why can't I come home?

Um, well, just tell me
where you are, honey,

And I'll come get you.

Somewhere
in the country.

Why'd you make
denise bring
me here?

Where? Where, honey,
where in the country
are you?

I don't know.
It's...

A big house,
like a farm.

Keep him
talking.

What--what color
is the house, joey?

It's white
with black shutters,

And it's really big
with an upstairs,

And it's far
from the street,

And they won't
let me leave
the yard.

Wha--is denise
still with you
right now, honey?

Yeah, and paul
and jacob.

I don't really
like paul.

Why? Why, baby?
Did he hurt you?

No, but he's mean.

Do they know you're
talking to me right now?

No way.
They'd kill me

If they knew I was
on the phone.

Well, you don't
have to worry, ok,

Because I'm gonna
come get you.

Ok. Tell denise to
bring me home, ok?

Aah! Aah!

Joey? Joey?

Joey! Joey!

Mike, what
do you got?

Cell phone joey used
was scrambled

With an algorithm
just like maggie schuller's.

You worked past it.

Not exactly.
When joey hung up,

The phone momentarily
switched to wi-fi,

Which pinged a signal
in baton rouge,
louisiana.

I thought you said
dutchess county.

It was. Opening
the files triggered
a virus.

I can't be sure
of anything anymore.

Hey. Isn't that
joe carroll's attorney?

I thought he
represented himself.

Yeah, at trial.
Olivia warren
handled his appeals.

What the hell
is she doing here now?

Oh, no. We got to
shut this down,
send her away.

There's no reason
she needs to meet
with joe today.

We can't do that,
and you know it.

He has a right to speak
to his attorney.

He knows we're close
to finding joey,

And he's planning
something.

We have got to get
to dutchess county now.

Not until we confirm
the location.

It's gonna take me
a couple hours

To work
through this mess.

Hurry.

Just whatever you
have to do, mike,

Just hurry.

Why can't
I go home?

Mom said she was
gonna come get me.

Honey, I told you

Your mom's worried
that you might
be in danger.

But she acted like
she didn't even know
where I was.

She was scared
on the phone
and asking questions.

There are things
you don't know.

Like what?

I know about my dad.

I know he's
a bad man.

What if I told you
that your dad wasn't
a bad man?

Then why was he
in prison,

And why are the police
looking for him?

It's complicated, joey,

And really hard
to understand,

But the police are
the bad men.

Policemen are good.

Not always.

They're lying
about your dad.

That's why your mom
sent us here,

To hide from them,
to make sure nothing
happens to you.

Hey. Hey! Cupcake.

Can you wake up?
Wake up.

It's not so bad.

Please.

I want to go home.

You're not
going home, megan.

Never again.

I think we
established that.

A little acceptance
at this point

Might go a long way.

It won't be long now.

I promise.

Hey. Where's emma?

She's upstairs
talking to joey.

Ooh.

Well, that was
an untraceable
satellite phone,

So we're safe.

What if he told his mom
where we are?

No. He has no idea
where he is.

I've been thinking
about little megan.

I don't think you should
go with the big blade.

It is your first time,

And it's likely
for your stabs
to be...

Tentative,
all right?

I think
it's better for you

To do with something
thin and sharp like this.

It has more impact.

All right?
You can do this.

I know you can.

What's your problem?

I'm not gay,
all right?

Last night was great.

No, it wasn't.

You could have
fooled me.

Look.

I can't be what
you want me
to be, paul.

I can't.

It's just not
who I am.

Why do you always
have to

Label everything?

Last night was exactly
what it was supposed to be.

For the first time,
you, me, and emma
were really together--

No lies, no secrets.

It felt right.

There's only one thing
missing now.

Will you just
do it for me?

No more lies, jacob.

This is about trust now.

Emma and I believe
in you.

You can do this.

Olivia.

Come on in.

Oh, please
do sit down.

Why am I here?

I require legal counsel.

My first thought
was of you.

There's nothing I can
do for you, mr. Carroll,
legally or otherwise.

Now we both know...

That isn't true.

You owe me
a few favors.

I'm sorry we lost
the appeal.

I think it's time you
considered another
firm, mr. Carroll,

Perhaps the aclu.

You garnered
a great deal
of attention

While representing me.

It's helped your career.

I want you, olivia.

There's nothing more
for us to gain, mr. Carroll.

I am sorry.

Good-bye and good luck.

Ryan hardy has
more than surprised
with his, uh--

His get-up and go,

So I need to move things
along slightly faster

Than I had
originally planned.

I don't follow.

I need to know everything
that's happening

Behind that door.

Both in the media
and within the fbi,

You still have
your contacts, hmm?

Yes?

Yes.
Good.

Then let's get started.

You are about to have
a very busy day, olivia.

Good morning.

My name is olivia warren.

I have been retained
to represent joe carroll.

What's going on?

Joe carroll
press conference.

I told you he was
up to something.

In light of the recent
speculation

About an alleged
cult following of mr. Carroll,

He has asked me to read
the following statement.

"he had come like
a thief in the night.

"and one by one dropped
the revelers

"in the blood-bedewed halls
of their revel,

And died each in the despairing
posture of his fall."

It's poe.

"the mask
of the red death."

"and the life
of the ebony clock went out

"with that
of the last of the gay.

"and the flames
of the tripods expired.

"and darkness and decay
and the red death held

Illimitable dominion over all."

Hello?

It's time.

That concludes
mr. Carroll's statement.

Thank you for coming.

A poe story.

A mysterious stranger
moving from room to room

Killing people
like a plague.

Carroll's behind bars.

A cult needs to hear
from its leader.

A directive couched
in poetic verse
makes it special.

Yeah. It's
an encoded message.

He's triggering
someone.

I'm narrowing down
a location.

You got it right
the first time.

It's
dutchess county.

They're scrambling
you with this virus.

We got to move.

I've got a helicopter to take
you to nearest landing strip.

Local pd will assist you,
and the albany field office
is on standby.

You will stay in contact
with me at all times.

You understand?

Agent weston, that was
for your benefit.

Yes, ma'am.

Sign here.

Do you solemnly swear
to uphold the constitution...

Et cetera, et cetera?

I do.

Good. You're deputized.

How are you
gonna find him if you don't
have a specific location?

We know the county,
we've got a description

Of the house,
we're gonna use local cops,

Go door to door
if necessary.

I want to go
with you.

It's better that
you stay here

In case joey tries
to contact you again.

Chopper's ready.
We need to go.

I know the way
I left things with us

All those years ago,
I wasn't fair to you.

Ryan, it's ok.
There's so much

That I want to
say to you,

And I know now
isn't the time.

I just really need
to bring joey home,

And then I want
us to talk.

Please be careful.

Maybe jacob's right.

It's time to call
roderick.

I already called
roderick,

Left a message.

He'll tell us
what to do.

What's up
with the kid?

I handled it
like I always do.

With a hug?
That kid needs
a smacking.

Don't even think
about it.

He's a kid.
He wants his mother.

He's not dumb.

I mean, he's gonna
know we're lying
to him eventually.

Joey's fine.
How's jacob?

He's still
down there.

I'm giving him
some time

And a little space.

Are you in charge?

I'm olivia warren.
I represent--

I know who you are,
miss warren.

I need to speak
to claire matthews alone.

You'll be very interested
in what I have to say,
miss matthews.

I saw your
press conference.

What was that
about?

That's not
why I'm here,

But joe did ask me
to deliver a message.

If you want to see joey,
be at the corner

Of broad and 26th street
at 3 p.M. This afternoon.

Come alone
and tell no one.

I don't understand.
The fbi said--

Whatever the fbi
has told you
is incorrect.

According to your
ex-husband,

The only way you will
see your son is if you
follow these instructions.

It's your decision.

We believe
joey matthews' call

Came from
this cluster here.

Those cell towers serve
nearly half the county.

We're gonna need your help
to narrow the field.

We're looking for
a two-story white farmhouse
set back from the road.

Look. I can double-check,
but that's about
150 properties.

You ok?

You can't do it,
can you?

Jacob!
Jacob, wait!

Joey, I have lunch!

Joey?

Joey!

Hey. Where are you?

Joey--

Joey?

Try and stop
beating yourself up,
all right?

Will you just
stop it?

What--what?
I'm just trying
to be a friend.

Really? With all this
touchy-feely crap?

Joey's gone!

He's not in there.

You were supposed
to talk to him.

I did! He's scared.

I'm gonna check the woods.
There's a trail over there.

Maybe he went that way.

Ok. Let's split up.
We'll cover
more ground.

You all right?

Yeah. Me, too.
All right. Bye.

Um, I'm gonna go out
for a little while.

Excuse me?

I've been cooped up
in this house for days.

I just want to meet
a friend for lunch.

I don't think that's
a good idea.

Well, regardless,
I'm going.

You can't keep me
trapped here.

I'll have to insist
we accompany you.

Whatever you
have to do.

Yeah. Joe carroll's
lawyer just showed up

To see mrs. Matthews.

I don't know what
they said to each other,

But now miss matthews
wants to leave.

Says she's going
to lunch.

Well, go with her.
Don't let her
out of your sight.

I'm on it.

Is it true

Joe carroll
has a cult
of serial killers?

We don't know the extent,
but yeah.

Chief, you recognize
this guy?

Maybe. Ava, the missing
girl case in rhinebeck,

Could that be the guy?

I'll pull up
the footage.

Local girl named
megan leeds
went missing

After her shift
at a grocery store.

We've got surveillance
footage from that night.

Last time anyone saw her,
she was with this guy.

It's hard to see a face.

May I?

I just want to route
this through
the fbi server.

Advanced technology.

Heh. I bet.

Hardy.

Ok. There's
about 20 farms

Matching
the description

Within a 25-mile
radius of the store,

Most of them
to the north.

We should
start there.

That sounds like
a plan.

Yeah. You and weston
start there.

I'm gonna take
officer lopez,
hit the south,

Cover more ground.

Hon.

This little man needs
to borrow the phone

To call his mom.

Are you
joey matthews?

Yeah. How do you
know that?

You were
on the television.

The police are
looking for you.

They want to
hurt me.

Hurt you? The police?

Who would tell you
such a thing?

Joey!

Joey! You scared me!

I was so worried
about you.

Come on.
Let's go home.

I'm sorry.
And you are?

Denise.
I'm joey's nanny.

I'm glad you found him.

It's so easy to get
lost in these woods.

The boy wanted
to call his mother.

That's not necessary.
We have a phone back
at the farmhouse.

You can call your mom
from there.

I can?

Of course, silly.

Sorry to bother you.

Come on.

They said
they saw me on tv.

You shouldn't have
run off like that.

I was worried sick.

You said I could
call my mom.

Did you mean it?
Sure.

You can call her
whenever you want.

You found him.
Where were you, squirt?

Huh? You had us worried.

I didn't find him.

Some friendly
neighbors back
there did.

They told joey
they saw him on tv.

They did, huh?

Shoot. I forgot
to thank them
for helping out.

Do you mind?

Yeah, sure.
I'm great at thank-yous.

Come on.
Let's go, man.

It was that boy
from the news.

Tell them to hurry,
clark.

I wouldn't do that.

Looks like
4 more farms in the area.

Officer lopez,
this is dispatch.

This is lopez.
Go ahead.

Just got a call from that
sullivan house on route 9.

They saw that boy
everyone's looking for.

How fast can you
get there?

It's a couple miles
up the road.

Dispatch, we're
en route now.

Aaah! Waap! Plap!

Eager beaver!
You want to call her now?

You said I could.

I'll get the phone.

You're not going
anywhere, right?

I promise.

Jacob?

Paul?

Who are you?

Roderick sent me.

We need to go now.

Sorry. Hi.

Thank you so much
for meeting me.

Of course.

I've been so worried
about you.

Oh, yeah.
Just ignore
the fbi men.

They insisted.

Oh.

Everyone should have
an entourage.

Well...
It's so good to see you.

I called, and I left
some messages.

I know. It's just been
such a nightmare.

Um, let's--
I'm gonna order.
Let's order.

Ok.

Anybody here?

Not sure. They're not
answering their phone.

Police department!

I'm gonna check
the back.

Clark, nora?

Anyone home?

Oh, my god.

Call it in.

Hey. It's ok.

Call it in.

Dispatch,
this is officer lopez.

They were just here.

We have a 1055.

Follow me.

Sullivan house.

They're on foot.

How close is
the next farm?

About half a mile
through those woods.

That's it.

White house,
black shutters.

You sure?

About a half-mile west
of the sullivan house,

Pursuing suspects.

That's them.

Hey. Where are you?

About a half a mile
west of the house

Where we found
the dead couple.

I've I.D.Ed jacob wells,
paul torres.

We're gonna need
some backup here.

All right.
Consider it done.

Hey. Wait for it.

Gonna get closer,
stabilize.

You notify me
when you're here.

Hey. You up for this?

All right.
We're gonna get closer
to the house here,

Try to get
a better look, ok?

Ok.

Emma, whose car
is that out there?

Jacob, paul,
this is hank.

Roderick sent him.

We need to get
out of here, guys.

You have 10 minutes.
Pack light.

Don't have
a lot of room.

So roderick
came through.

Where's joey?

In his bedroom.

Let's get packed up.

I'll get him last.

Do these 3 have
any connection to
dutchess county, new york?

Agent parker,
I just heard
from agent weston.

They found the farmhouse.

I want every
available agent,
swat and tactical.

Alert atf, set up
mobile command
at the area.

Then call the albany
and new haven field offices

And pull men
from poughkeepsie.

Tell them I'm on my way.

I'm so happy
we did this.

Me, too.
It's really good

To get out
of the house.

Um, why don't
you order me
a double espresso?

I'm--I'm gonna be
right back.

Just going to
the little girls' room.

No. I'll go.

I'm gonna go around back
and see what I can see.

I'll have a better
sight line just
in front of the house.

I'll meet you there.

Eyes up.

It's me.
Do you have the mother?

She's late.

Give her more time.
I'll call you as soon
as I'm on the road.

Mr. Hardy?

Stop.

Put your hands where
I can see them.

Is--is something
wrong, officer?

Who are you?

Wait. What's going
on, officer?

Hey. I said
put your hands up.

Yeah. Look.

Don't come
any closer!

I'm sorry, off--
I'm just a little

Nervous with that
gun in my face

And everything,
so if you--

Stop it!
Ok.

I--look. I am sorry.
Officer, I--

Just keep your hands up!
Ok.

I need you to keep
your hands up!

Unh!

Don't move!

Did you guys hear that?

Where'd he go?

Hank?

Oh, man.
This is not good.

Can't be far.
Look around.

We'll find him.

I'm good.

No, no. Listen to me.

I need you to stay
on the ground.

All available units,
officer down, officer down,

Farmhouse just west
of route 9.

We need to knock them
off one by one.

That's our best option.

No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait.

Listen to me.

I need you to
take this.

I need you to hold
it right here, ok?

Right there.
Help is on the way, ok?

Help is coming.
Just hold on.

Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.

Ryan?

Ryan?
Hey, ryan.

It's too late.

He's gone.

Damn it.

All right. Hang tight.
We're a few minutes out.

I'm going in.

Hey!

Open the door!

Let me out!
Open the door!

You asked
for an update.

The fbi has located
the farmhouse

Where they're holding
your son.

Do they have him?

No, not yet.

I've also delivered
you message to the press.

And? How did it go?

Besides my appearing
like a raving madwoman,

It was heard by everyone.

Both local and national
news picked it up.

So my story has caused
quite the sensation.

The fbi has done a good job
at minimizing the details,

But, yes, the press
has been considerable.

And claire?

I delivered the message
to her, as well.

I haven't heard
anything.

Well, when you do,
I'll need
another update.

You have been
very helpful today.

Thank you.

What have I done, joe?

The poem I read,
I triggered something.

You sent a message
to someone.

What am I part of?

I'm surprised
at you, olivia.

I chose you precisely
for your ambition
and lack of conscience.

Well, the messenger is
someone preferable
to that of recipient.

I'm sure you'd agree.

You must be hank flynn.

Please. Come in.

Thank you for seeing
me after hours.

Of course. What can
I do for you?

Joe carroll asked
me to see you.

Excuse me?

About what?

He wanted me to give
you a message.

Please.

Do not bring me
into this any further.

We're just
getting started.

I have so much more
work for you to do.

Did you bring
pen and paper?

You're gonna need to
write this down.

Snap, snap,
miss warren.

Hmm.

Get in.

If you want to see joey,
get in now.

I won't say it again.

Damn it!

He's dead.

Local cop.
Think he's alone?

Megan.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I'm ryan hardy
with the fbi.

I'm gonna get you
out of here,

But I need you
to be quiet, ok?

How many of them
up there?

I've seen 3.

They're gonna
kill me.

They're crazy.
You have to get me

Out of here right now.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Is there a boy
upstairs?

I don't know!
Get me out of hermmm!

I will be
right back.

I promise you.

Hey. Joey. Remember me?

I'm a friend
of your mom's.

She sent me to come
take you home.

Do not move.
