The Following (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 8 - Welcome Home - full transcript
Joe Carroll's escape has sent the FBI into something of a frenzy and Nick Donovan has been assigned to lead the investigation. He and Ryan try to interview David, Carroll's acolyte shot by Ryan, but that doesn't go very well. In his new residence meanwhile, Carroll is getting used to his surroundings and meeting some of the followers he had not yet met. Roderick arrives to welcome him and the central question is how to find Joe's wife, Claire, who is in protective custody. They target one of the FBI agents. Charlie pays the price for his failures.
Carroll was convicted in 2004
for the murders of 14 young women.
I have so many surprises
waiting for you.
Can you tell me who Roderick is?
He's a friend of Joe's.
What is Joe doing?
Why do you listen to him?
He's teaching me to feel my life.
Damn it!
Federal agents! Get down now!
I was just with your mom.
I was supposed to
bring her here.
- What happened?
- I screwed up.
What happened
to Paul and Jacob?
Why did you
leave us? Emma!
The warden granted Joe
Carroll's request for a transfer.
He's leaving.
Joe's not in the
transport vehicle.
One of his people
got to the warden.
Where the hell is he?
I'm David. It's
a pleasure, sir.
So Joe's free,
and now get locked up.
Protective custody.
Better if I don't know.
Joey.
I know you. You're my dad.
Morning.
You sleep all right?
I know you're scared of me.
I sensed it last night
when I first arrived,
but I hope that will change
and you'll give me
another chance.
Nothing? Don't want
to speak to me?
That's okay.
Look. I'm sorry
your mother isn't here.
She was meant to be.
That was the plan,
but then things
just went a little--
pff-- awry.
I am doing everything
I can to-- to rectify that,
but in the meantime,
I hope that you will...
you will give me a chance
to prove that I am not a...
a horrible man
and that I have
the ability to be a rather--
a rather cool
and fun guy-- dad.
Dad.
Well, we'll take things slow?
Well, that's all for now.
How'd it go?
He's giving me
the silent treatment.
He needs to get to
know you, that's all.
Come. Everyone's
waiting.
What for?
For you.
Good morning, everybody.
A suspect instrumental
in Carroll's escape
was wounded and taken
into custody.
Several deaths have...
Carroll has escaped twice.
This time, he flew away
in a helicopter.
There's no way to spin that.
This is
a Bureau nightmare, people.
From now on,
we have a new protocol.
All investigations
will need to be approved by me.
Now I apologize in advance
for being a control freak,
but that's the way
we're doing things.
So I see Quantico
sent in a new guy.
Nick Donovan,
top of the food chain.
Director Franklin brought
him in to supervise us.
So it's official.
The Bureau's freaking out.
Everyone's freaking out, Ryan.
Carroll escaped twice.
Have you turned on the TV?
The news is insane.
What about Claire?
Are we sure she's safe?
Has anyone spoken to her?
Who's got her
detail-- Turner?
I don't know anything.
It's protective custody.
I don't have
that kind of clearance.
How about the guy
we have in custody,
the acolyte from Joe's escape?
I need to question him.
You mean, the one you tortured?
I got information.
He did.
We found the warden's daughter,
and she is safe as a result.
Ryan, nice to meet you.
Have you run prints on the guy?
Yeah. We got nothing.
This cult is doing
a very good job
of wiping their
identities clean.
That's why we need
to speak to him,
to find out who and where
this Roderick guy is.
Ryan, we appreciate your help,
but you were brought in
as a consultant,
and I think it's time you adopt
more of a consulting presence.
Carroll is the
one who made Ryan
more than a consultant.
I'm aware of that,
but Ryan is no longer
an agent with the FBI.
Come on! You know
as well as I do that--
No, it's okay.
He's right.
I'm here to consult.
This has become
a Bureau nightmare, right?
I'm a liability.
I'll just-- I'll be in the other room...
consulting.
Everything okay?
Nobody likes me.
Well, you're inconsistent
and extreme,
and people don't know
how to respond to you.
I was joking.
Sorry.
We need to bring our suspect
up for questioning.
I want to talk to him.
No can do.
Donovan's gonna do it.
He insisted.
Great.
I didn't realize
there were so many people.
I've been cooped up
at the farmhouse.
Well, I wanted Joey
to be comfortable.
I know he trusts you.
This would have
overwhelmed him.
Any word from Jacob and Paul?
No. They haven't called,
and there's been
nothing on the news.
Well, I take that as a good sign
that they're somewhere safe.
You know, I will never forget
what you've done for me.
I have my son because of you.
What the...?
Joe Carroll.
How the hell are you?
Roderick!
I got here as soon as I could.
It is good to see you.
I'm Roderick.
You must be Emma.
Nice to meet you in person.
Darling.
Easy on the charm.
So far, everything
has worked out as planned.
Yeah, sure, there's been a
few hiccups along the way.
Ryan Hardy has kept us
on our toes.
But you've improvised
quite nicely.
I'm in your debt, my friend.
Thank you.
I'm the one that owes you.
I killed two of those girls.
You took the blame.
There's no point both of
us rotting away in here.
How can I ever repay you?
You will.
My friend, you will.
We're in this together,
you and me.
Everything I am
is because of you.
Come on.
I'll show you around.
Is this place insane or what?
Interesting.
It's a work in progress.
We're slowly fixing it up.
Takes a village, right?
Sheriff Nelson.
Yeah. Sheriff here.
Did you want potato
salad or cole slaw
with your sandwich?
Let's go with potato salad
today, Sally honey.
- Roger that, sir.
- Thank you.
Sheriff's a very important
job around here.
Seems our man in custody
has shut down.
He won't talk
to anyone but you.
What would you like
me to do, sir?
I'd like you to sit in with me,
and you can call me Nick.
Sure thing, Nick.
Anything I can do to help.
I'm Nick Donovan, and you are?
Hello, Ryan.
Hello. How's the leg?
Sorry. I don't know your name.
You can call me David.
This guy is nuts.
Look at him.
Is this a staring contest?
Because you asked to see me.
Here I am.
How did you like the plot twist?
Joe Carroll escaping twice.
Bet you didn't see that coming.
Yeah. That was good.
Now you're boring me.
So you got something
to say, say it.
Or you can tell us
where we find Joe.
You're not gonna find Joe.
You don't find us.
We find you,
and we're everywhere.
We're your sons, your daughters,
husbands, your wives,
neighbors, fathers, mothers,
and soon, more
will be dead tomorrow.
Now you're paraphrasing
Ted Bundy.
He's paraphrasing Ted Bundy.
Very poorly, I might add.
What is the point of all this?
Hold close your fear.
It is all that you know
when you take your last breath.
Wow that was creepy.
So how about you give
us something real...
David?
Guards!
Guards! Guards!
He took something!
We have tech town in here.
Everything is completely
secure, untraceable.
Charlie.
You've been hiding yourself away
since I got here.
I'm sorry, sir.
About Claire. I failed you.
I want you to know that--
Not now, Charlie.
Don't be so hard
on yourself, Charlie.
Take what you've learned
and apply it?
All right. This way.
Hi. You remember Louise?
Yes, but of course.
She was my savior.
The pleasure was mine.
We set this up for you.
It's meant to be your--
your inspiration room,
where you can write, hold class,
poker on mondays.
How many people live here?
I see so many new faces.
I've been recruiting.
There's the ones you know,
about a dozen more
you have yet to meet.
We've, built a life here.
In a small town that
you're sheriff of.
That's genius.
Everybody's...
so excited you're
finally here, Joe.
They're anxious to get started.
As am I.
Claire first.
Do know where she is?
She's in protective custody.
They, they got her out clean.
My son needs a mother.
Losing Claire was a mistake.
I'm sorry about that, Joe,
but I have an idea
how we can find her.
Let the FBI tell us.
I've done all the research,
I've got it all worked out.
Which one first?
This one.
We're waiting
on the coroner's report,
but I think it's
a suicide pill,
a basic cyanide or a
common PSP toxin.
He had it in his hand.
Yeah. It was sewn into his skin.
It was implanted in the fold
between his thumb
and his forefinger.
It's a CIA ploy
from the sixties.
Al-Qaeda's been known
to use it, as well.
I got some new intel
on the deceased.
Thanks.
I'll take that.
Seriously?
Based on the method
of his suicide,
they ran his prints through
a military database.
Came up with a match.
Got a positive ID.
Yeah, more than that.
He's named in an investigation.
There were soldiers
conducting lethal fights
with Iraqi civilians for sport.
My e-mail was hacked.
Was it you?
Yeah. That was me.
I did it.
Sorry, Ryan. You don't have
access to hack my e-mail.
Weston?
Yes, sir, I did.
I apologize.
I need a word.
What's going on?
Think I got Weston in trouble.
They hacked Donovan's e-mail.
You what? Damn it, Ryan!
What happened?
I'm being sent home...
Wait, wait.
This is my fault. I'll go.
I asked him to do it.
Well, he's going home.
- And that's a bad call!
- Excuse me?
Look, man. We're spinning
our wheels here.
We need to keep things moving,
and we can't do that if you're
sitting on information.
This investigation
starts at my desk now.
I understand your
relationship to this case,
and I am trying
really hard to be polite,
but it's not something
I excel at.
Just go back to the motel,
and we'll talk in the morning.
Are you getting in?
No, thanks. I'll wait
for the next one.
You okay?
Yeah.
You need some help with that?
No, I'm fine. Thanks.
Your call has been
forwarded to an automatic voi...
Mitchell, Weston's
not picking up.
I've tried him 3 times.
That's not like him.
He always picks up.
Can you ping his phone?
Already on it.
It says he's at the motel.
Something's not right.
I'm gonna check it out.
Let Parker know.
You need to pace yourself.
When was the last time
you were drunk?
Years.
Is that scotch I see?
This is really bad scotch.
To hell with it.
I don't think I'd know
good scotch anymore.
Damn it!
What I really need is this
damn thing off, please.
Of course. You're sloshed.
Yes. Yes, I am... sloshed.
You deserve it.
I'm sure there are a lot of things
that you need to catch up on.
Yes. Yes. That's...
that is true.
It has been depressingly
quiet on that front.
You need to fix that then.
Here you go.
All better?
Yes. All better.
Roderick called.
All's going to plan.
They should be back by dawn.
Splendid, Aaron.
Thank you.
So how long have you and
Roderick known each other?
Just a little bit
longer than I've known you.
Was he a student of yours?
Yes. In some ways, he was...
my first student.
Why are we here?
Why? Are you scared?
No. Should I be,
Professor Carroll?
Smell it?
What am I doing here?
I'd like to teach you.
Now first I like to gauge their fear.
Listen to their breathing.
You want to
get in sync with it...
make their breathing
become yours.
It's a way to connect
to their heartbeat.
Now first take
the very tip of the blade,
and you place it softly
on their skin.
Then push every so gently
until you feel the moment...
of...
give.
Your scotch.
Your scotch is all--
Joe...
I love...
I love my wife, Emma.
You understand that?
Now. Let's go and find the others.
Did Mitchell send over the
motel surveillance footage?
Yeah. I got it
right here.
They could have killed him,
they didn't.
They want something.
All right.
Confirmed identities
of who were dealing with.
Charles Mead, the man who
abducted Claire Matthews, is one.
The other is Louise Sinclair
out of New Orleans,
former Blackwater operative.
Another overachiever.
Find out if she ran
the plates yet.
We put out an APB in a
300-mile radius of Richmond.
If it's out there, we'll find it.
Put the call on speaker.
Debra, it's Nick.
The image of the license
plate isn't perfect.
We can make out 3,
maybe 4 numbers clearly,
but the local police found
9 potential matches
of the color, make, and model.
They've got 9 potential
matches on the plates.
Where are the cars?
A couple of them are
registered to upstate New York.
Two registered
in upstate New York.
Two are out of service,
police spotted one
in a parking lot
outside an abandoned shipyard
in Newport Harbor.
Police spotted one
in a parking lot
outside an abandoned shipyard
in Newport Harbor.
That's the one.
How do you know?
Timestamp on the video is
about an hour and a half ago.
That's how long it takes to get
from here to Newport Harbor,
plus they need
someplace quiet to do
whatever it is they're
gonna do to him.
Abandoned shipyard
fits the bill.
Sounds like a hunch.
A good one.
We're gonna head over.
That's my call.
So make it.
Fine. Go.
Let's go.
Agent Weston.
Welcome to our little...
slice of paradise.
Thanks.
You are?
I'm your host
for tonight's main event.
Here's how it works.
I'm going to ask you
a few questions,
you're going to
answer them, truthfully.
And if I don't?
That's where it gets fun.
See, we have a little game
that we like to play,
a fight sport.
You lie, we begin a round.
You lie some more...
it gets worse.
So... tell me...
where is Claire Matthews?
Is that what this is about?
Sorry, man.
She's in protective custody.
No one knows where she is.
That's a lie.
Round one.
Come on now.
You need to get up.
Big boy.
Gonna have some fun.
Nice!
Match on our hands here.
Pick it up, boys.
Let's see some real blood.
Okay. All right, all right.
You want to end this?
Tell us where Claire is.
I don't know anything.
You think we don't
know about you?
Agent Michael Emerson Weston,
born in San Diego, California,
political science major
at Wesleyan,
then 3 years at Quantico
studying high-profile
personal security.
You know everyone,
you know everything
about FBI protective custody.
You know where they hid Claire.
You know everything about me,
and I don't know
anything about you.
Roderick?
Isn't that what they call you?
Yeah.
Okay. Same question,
second round.
Where's Claire?
I don't know.
They didn't tell me that.
Why would they?
Round two's gonna hurt.
That's definitely the car.
They got to be inside.
I'll check the perimeter.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
It's not over until
you stop breathing.
You're still breathing.
You got one last chance here.
Where's Claire?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't-- I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I believe you.
I believe you.
Final round.
Help him up.
Get up!
I'm gonna find Claire
whether you help me or not.
I got this.
Help me hold his head.
Let's get out of here.
Stop! FBI!
FBI!
No, no. Don't move, don't move.
An ambulance is coming.
Take it easy.
I didn't tell them, Ryan.
I didn't tell them anything.
Okay.
Come on. Come on, come on.
Stay with me, buddy.
Severe concussion, blood loss.
He'll need surgery, but the paramedics
believe he'll pull through.
You okay?
No.
I'm gonna head over
to the hospital.
He'll be in surgery for hours.
Still.
You know this wasn't
your fault, Ryan?
You can't own everything
that goes wrong.
No. That's not it.
It's just I know hospitals.
They're no fun.
Just think somebody
should be there when he
wakes up, that's all.
We got nothing,
lost 5 men.
I'm sorry, Joe.
You'll find Claire.
And bring her home.
Of that I'm... certain.
I will find her...
I owe you that.
One more thing.
I let you down again, sir.
I won't lie, Charlie.
I'm disappointed.
I want to make it right.
The reason I wanted
to know you,
to be a part of this
is I wanted my life
to mean something.
You want to do this for me?
I want to be important, sir.
I want my life to matter.
This is my gift.
And my apology.
You will always matter.
How long has he been out?
About an hour.
Surgery went well.
Kept saying, "I didn't
tell them anything."
What was he talking about?
Claire's location.
He knew the whole time?
Yeah.
He spent two years with the
Protective Custody Division
in Quantico.
He has clearance.
He's the only one who does
know where Claire is.
I'll bury him in the morning.
No. I've seen this look.
What's wrong?
You want a drink?
You want to go upstairs...
and break a headboard again?
Not tonight.
You're in a mood.
Things are different--
that's all--
with Joe here.
They're supposed to be.
This is what we've
been working towards.
# Feel alive #
# in a darkened room #
I'm sorry about Charlie, too.
I mean-- well, not really.
# Of your solitude? #
# If you ain't got the answer #
Clean towels, clothes.
# If you don't know the truth #
# if you want the power #
If these don't fit, there's more.
# Then let it flow through #
Did it help?
# Would you let it go? #
I don't know if it helped,
but it was...
certainly a rush.
# Would you let it go? #
# would you let it go? #
I love my wife.
She's not here.
# I cannot end this mourning of my life #
What can I do...
to make you feel better?
# Yeah #
# if you feel alive #
# If you got no fear #
# do you know the name #
# of the one you seek? #
Dick!
Don't be like that.
Don't...
be like that.
Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah?
for the murders of 14 young women.
I have so many surprises
waiting for you.
Can you tell me who Roderick is?
He's a friend of Joe's.
What is Joe doing?
Why do you listen to him?
He's teaching me to feel my life.
Damn it!
Federal agents! Get down now!
I was just with your mom.
I was supposed to
bring her here.

What happened

Why did you
leave us? Emma!
The warden granted Joe

Joe's not in the

Morning.

Dad.
Well, we'll take things slow?

David?
Guards!
Guards! Guards!
He took something!
We have tech town in here.
Everything is completely
secure, untraceable.
Charlie.
You've been hiding yourself away
since I got here.
I'm sorry, sir.
About Claire. I failed you.
I want you to know that--
Not now, Charlie.
Don't be so hard
on yourself, Charlie.
Take what you've learned
and apply it?
All right. This way.
Hi. You remember Louise?
Yes, but of course.
She was my savior.
The pleasure was mine.
We set this up for you.
It's meant to be your--
your inspiration room,
where you can write, hold class,
poker on mondays.
How many people live here?
I see so many new faces.
I've been recruiting.
There's the ones you know,
about a dozen more
you have yet to meet.
We've, built a life here.
In a small town that
you're sheriff of.
That's genius.
Everybody's...
so excited you're
finally here, Joe.
They're anxious to get started.
As am I.
Claire first.
Do know where she is?
She's in protective custody.
They, they got her out clean.
My son needs a mother.
Losing Claire was a mistake.
I'm sorry about that, Joe,
but I have an idea
how we can find her.
Let the FBI tell us.
I've done all the research,
I've got it all worked out.
Which one first?
This one.
We're waiting
on the coroner's report,
but I think it's
a suicide pill,
a basic cyanide or a
common PSP toxin.
He had it in his hand.
Yeah. It was sewn into his skin.
It was implanted in the fold
between his thumb
and his forefinger.
It's a CIA ploy
from the sixties.
Al-Qaeda's been known
to use it, as well.
I got some new intel
on the deceased.
Thanks.
I'll take that.
Seriously?
Based on the method
of his suicide,
they ran his prints through
a military database.
Came up with a match.
Got a positive ID.
Yeah, more than that.
He's named in an investigation.
There were soldiers
conducting lethal fights
with Iraqi civilians for sport.
My e-mail was hacked.
Was it you?
Yeah. That was me.
I did it.
Sorry, Ryan. You don't have
access to hack my e-mail.
Weston?
Yes, sir, I did.
I apologize.
I need a word.
What's going on?
Think I got Weston in trouble.
They hacked Donovan's e-mail.
You what? Damn it, Ryan!
What happened?
I'm being sent home...
Wait, wait.
This is my fault. I'll go.
I asked him to do it.
Well, he's going home.
- And that's a bad call!
- Excuse me?
Look, man. We're spinning
our wheels here.
We need to keep things moving,
and we can't do that if you're
sitting on information.
This investigation
starts at my desk now.
I understand your
relationship to this case,
and I am trying
really hard to be polite,
but it's not something
I excel at.
Just go back to the motel,
and we'll talk in the morning.
Are you getting in?
No, thanks. I'll wait
for the next one.
You okay?
Yeah.
You need some help with that?
No, I'm fine. Thanks.
Your call has been
forwarded to an automatic voi...
Mitchell, Weston's
not picking up.
I've tried him 3 times.
That's not like him.
He always picks up.
Can you ping his phone?
Already on it.
It says he's at the motel.
Something's not right.
I'm gonna check it out.
Let Parker know.
You need to pace yourself.
When was the last time
you were drunk?
Years.
Is that scotch I see?
This is really bad scotch.
To hell with it.
I don't think I'd know
good scotch anymore.
Damn it!
What I really need is this
damn thing off, please.
Of course. You're sloshed.
Yes. Yes, I am... sloshed.
You deserve it.
I'm sure there are a lot of things
that you need to catch up on.
Yes. Yes. That's...
that is true.
It has been depressingly
quiet on that front.
You need to fix that then.
Here you go.
All better?
Yes. All better.
Roderick called.
All's going to plan.
They should be back by dawn.
Splendid, Aaron.
Thank you.
So how long have you and
Roderick known each other?
Just a little bit
longer than I've known you.
Was he a student of yours?
Yes. In some ways, he was...
my first student.
Why are we here?
Why? Are you scared?
No. Should I be,
Professor Carroll?
Smell it?
What am I doing here?
I'd like to teach you.
Now first I like to gauge their fear.
Listen to their breathing.
You want to
get in sync with it...
make their breathing
become yours.
It's a way to connect
to their heartbeat.
Now first take
the very tip of the blade,
and you place it softly
on their skin.
Then push every so gently
until you feel the moment...
of...
give.
Your scotch.
Your scotch is all--
Joe...
I love...
I love my wife, Emma.
You understand that?
Now. Let's go and find the others.
Did Mitchell send over the
motel surveillance footage?
Yeah. I got it
right here.
They could have killed him,
they didn't.
They want something.
All right.
Confirmed identities
of who were dealing with.
Charles Mead, the man who
abducted Claire Matthews, is one.
The other is Louise Sinclair
out of New Orleans,
former Blackwater operative.
Another overachiever.
Find out if she ran
the plates yet.
We put out an APB in a
300-mile radius of Richmond.
If it's out there, we'll find it.
Put the call on speaker.
Debra, it's Nick.
The image of the license
plate isn't perfect.
We can make out 3,
maybe 4 numbers clearly,
but the local police found
9 potential matches
of the color, make, and model.
They've got 9 potential
matches on the plates.
Where are the cars?
A couple of them are
registered to upstate New York.
Two registered
in upstate New York.
Two are out of service,
police spotted one
in a parking lot
outside an abandoned shipyard
in Newport Harbor.
Police spotted one
in a parking lot
outside an abandoned shipyard
in Newport Harbor.
That's the one.
How do you know?
Timestamp on the video is
about an hour and a half ago.
That's how long it takes to get
from here to Newport Harbor,
plus they need
someplace quiet to do
whatever it is they're
gonna do to him.
Abandoned shipyard
fits the bill.
Sounds like a hunch.
A good one.
We're gonna head over.
That's my call.
So make it.
Fine. Go.
Let's go.
Agent Weston.
Welcome to our little...
slice of paradise.
Thanks.
You are?
I'm your host
for tonight's main event.
Here's how it works.
I'm going to ask you
a few questions,
you're going to
answer them, truthfully.
And if I don't?
That's where it gets fun.
See, we have a little game
that we like to play,
a fight sport.
You lie, we begin a round.
You lie some more...
it gets worse.
So... tell me...
where is Claire Matthews?
Is that what this is about?
Sorry, man.
She's in protective custody.
No one knows where she is.
That's a lie.
Round one.
Come on now.
You need to get up.
Big boy.
Gonna have some fun.
Nice!
Match on our hands here.
Pick it up, boys.
Let's see some real blood.
Okay. All right, all right.
You want to end this?
Tell us where Claire is.
I don't know anything.
You think we don't
know about you?
Agent Michael Emerson Weston,
born in San Diego, California,
political science major
at Wesleyan,
then 3 years at Quantico
studying high-profile
personal security.
You know everyone,
you know everything
about FBI protective custody.
You know where they hid Claire.
You know everything about me,
and I don't know
anything about you.
Roderick?
Isn't that what they call you?
Yeah.
Okay. Same question,
second round.
Where's Claire?
I don't know.
They didn't tell me that.
Why would they?
Round two's gonna hurt.
That's definitely the car.
They got to be inside.
I'll check the perimeter.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
It's not over until
you stop breathing.
You're still breathing.
You got one last chance here.
Where's Claire?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't-- I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
I believe you.
I believe you.
Final round.
Help him up.
Get up!
I'm gonna find Claire
whether you help me or not.
I got this.
Help me hold his head.
Let's get out of here.
Stop! FBI!
FBI!
No, no. Don't move, don't move.
An ambulance is coming.
Take it easy.
I didn't tell them, Ryan.
I didn't tell them anything.
Okay.
Come on. Come on, come on.
Stay with me, buddy.
Severe concussion, blood loss.
He'll need surgery, but the paramedics
believe he'll pull through.
You okay?
No.
I'm gonna head over
to the hospital.
He'll be in surgery for hours.
Still.
You know this wasn't
your fault, Ryan?
You can't own everything
that goes wrong.
No. That's not it.
It's just I know hospitals.
They're no fun.
Just think somebody
should be there when he
wakes up, that's all.
We got nothing,
lost 5 men.
I'm sorry, Joe.
You'll find Claire.
And bring her home.
Of that I'm... certain.
I will find her...
I owe you that.
One more thing.
I let you down again, sir.
I won't lie, Charlie.
I'm disappointed.
I want to make it right.
The reason I wanted
to know you,
to be a part of this
is I wanted my life
to mean something.
You want to do this for me?
I want to be important, sir.
I want my life to matter.
This is my gift.
And my apology.
You will always matter.
How long has he been out?
About an hour.
Surgery went well.
Kept saying, "I didn't
tell them anything."
What was he talking about?
Claire's location.
He knew the whole time?
Yeah.
He spent two years with the
Protective Custody Division
in Quantico.
He has clearance.
He's the only one who does
know where Claire is.
I'll bury him in the morning.
No. I've seen this look.
What's wrong?
You want a drink?
You want to go upstairs...
and break a headboard again?
Not tonight.
You're in a mood.
Things are different--
that's all--
with Joe here.
They're supposed to be.
This is what we've
been working towards.
# Feel alive #
# in a darkened room #
I'm sorry about Charlie, too.
I mean-- well, not really.
# Of your solitude? #
# If you ain't got the answer #
Clean towels, clothes.
# If you don't know the truth #
# if you want the power #
If these don't fit, there's more.
# Then let it flow through #
Did it help?
# Would you let it go? #
I don't know if it helped,
but it was...
certainly a rush.
# Would you let it go? #
# would you let it go? #
I love my wife.
She's not here.
# I cannot end this mourning of my life #
What can I do...
to make you feel better?
# Yeah #
# if you feel alive #
# If you got no fear #
# do you know the name #
# of the one you seek? #
Dick!
Don't be like that.
Don't...
be like that.
Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah?
