The Following (2013–2015): Season 2, Episode 11 - Freedom - full transcript

Joe continues to mold the members of his new cult to his liking and is now teaching them how to enjoy killing. Emma is not sure she sees or understands what his plan is. Mandy is uncomfortable with what is going on and leaves the commune. In New York City, an attack on a bakery leaves many dead and wounded. They initially believe that it's Joe's work but in fact it's the work of Lily Gray. It's all part of plot to get hired gunmen into the hospital to rescue her son Luke. Ryan is shocked by the sudden appearance of Claire Matthews.

Joe faked his death, and now
he's started over again.

With new followers?

So these are the psychos?

These people are gonna
be very useful to us.

They need guidance, teaching.

He's found a new cult.

Prioritize groups that
believe in blood sacrifice.

I have a holy arm of warriors,

who are about to rain merry
hell down on this world.

There can be no redemption without blood.

No redemption without blood!



No redemption without blood!

No redemption without blood!

No redemption without blood!

How does Lily Gray fit into all this?

She's the female version
of Joe, just more elusive.

We have her son in custody,
but he's not talking.

And Ryan...
how's he?

It was hard for him, but he pulled through.

Carrie: I want
the story, Ryan,

but I also want to help you.

You know you can trust me, right?

I can't do this.

This is not our way.

I don't want anybody feeling that



they are here against their will.

Joe said to give you another chance.

I hope you don't disappoint him,

but I have a feeling you will.

Let the rivers of blood flow free!

Korban, embrace your destiny!

[Cheering]

Your commitment to our mission here

at Korban greatly moves me.

Each and every one of you has
far exceeded my expectations,

but now we must move on to the next

and perhaps most crucial
part of your instruction.

Who would like the great
honor of being first?

Can I?

Yes.

[Whispers] Angela.

Angela, yes?

Come. Please.

Angela, now I want you to close your eyes,

and I want you to tell me

about the happiest moment of your life,

whatever comes to mind.

It was years ago before Korban.

I went to the Florida
Keys with my fiancé...

before he died.

We were snorkeling, and we would dive down

over the coral reef.

The water was completely clear.

My body felt
so... light,

and the feeling was
so vivid like I was flying.

It was freedom.

Oh, that's great.
Open your eyes.

That feeling,

that feeling of total serenity,

of freedom,

that is the gift that you
can give to the world.

[Whimpering]

[Moans]

Carla lies here before you.

I want you to give that gift to Carla.

Do you think you can do that, Angela?

I think so.

Ok.

[Carla sobbing]

Shh. It's ok.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Angela, free her.

Save her soul from this world

and let it fly up to the most high.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

Uh-huh. Yes?

Soothe her.

It's going to be all right, Carla.

You're going home.

Home.

I love you, Carla.

You can do it, Angela.

You can do it, Angela.

Do it.

[Groaning]

You're not taking a life.

You are freeing a soul!

Yes!

Yes.

I did it.

Yes.

I really did it.

That is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

[Angela crying]

Oh. Well done.

[Applause continues]

Woman on TV: Today's top story.
As the nationwide manhunt

for Joe Carroll continues,

it's bringing with it a culture
of disturbing behavior.

Joe Carroll masks
and t-shirts

are going on sale
as the nation's fascination

with this serial killer is
reaching a fanatical obsession.

Woman: We're not
killing anyone.

We're just having a party.

You know, we're more of
a fan club than a cult.

It's just a way to express
ourselves, be unique.

It's fun.

If you're shocked by this
report, you are not alone.

The fanaticism created by Joe Carroll

is shocking the country, and on the...

Ok. First, you're watching
the wrong news channel.

And, two, can you believe this?

We're covering a fraternity
cult beer bust tonight.

World we live in.

Good morning.

Newswire broke a report
that Lily Gray is in Europe.

Care to comment?

News to me.

More false reports.

There's been Lily Gray sightings
in 12 countries so far.

You should do that more often.

It suits you.

What?

Smile.

So I'll see you tonight?

Can it be late?

Busy day.

Sure.

[Knock on door]

Carrie: Morning, Mike.

Good morning, Carrie.

I'll call you later.

Come on, guys.

Was I interrupting something?

Not at all.
Coffee?

I'll get it.

So following up on Joe's call

and his new holy army, Max
and I spent the morning

digging through the
Meggido Project Database.

It's the most comprehensive
listing of cults,

domestic terrorist organizations.

Anything?

Well, Max stayed behind to
look at unregistered cults,

but here's our first pass.

We found 73 cults, starting
with small, vulnerable ones

prone to ritualistic behavior.

They all use some warped
version of religious doctrine,

and they're all within
a day's drive of New York.

Woman on TV: The FBI has
broadened its search

to the West Coast as nationwide tips

about the location
of Joe Carroll are coming in.

The FBI is investigating...

Claire.

You remember Brad Daniels from WITSEC?

Yeah. Thank you
for coming.

When can I leave?

Claire, a lot of people
went through a lot of work

to make sure that you
and your son are safe.

You need to let the authorities
handle Joe Carroll.

I let the authorities handle Joe Carroll.

I gave up my entire life, and
my son still isn't safe,

so now I'd like to see Ryan Hardy.

Claire, you realize
leaving Witness Protection

and going to New York will compromise

the FBI's investigation.

I know the law.
You can't stop me.

Actually, we can.

Compromising a federal investigation

is grounds for detainment.

I am not gonna reveal I'm alive.

I simply...
I want to see Ryan

because I know a way I can help him.

We'll need to accompany you.

Also, I want to move
your so and your mother

to an undisclosed military
base until further notice.

You won't even know where they are.

It's for their safety.

I understand.

You won't see them again unless you return

to Witness Protection.

The man killed at the restaurant...

Patrick Trano...
he served two tours

in Pakistan and disappeared upon discharge.

His family said he had some posttrauma.

They had no idea that he'd joined a cult.

What about Lily Gray? Did
Clarke give you an update?

Yeah. They initiated an
international manhunt,

and based on her resources,

they think she's probably in a
country without extradition.

You ok?

How's your family?

They're ok, considering.

You're gonna get through this, Mike.

We both are.

How uncharacteristically
optimistic of you, Ryan.

Hey. I can be
optimistic.

Sometimes.

Uh-huh.

Is this Carrie Cooke's doing?

I know it's not my business, but I...

Nah. It's cool.

Yeah. I like her.

Uh...

she's not what I thought.

Ok.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Screams]

Hey!

[People screaming]

[Police radio chatter]

Clarke: 5 dead,
12 injured.

And you're sure it was Carroll?

Yeah. Witnesses report
seeing white masks, knives...

Watch your step...
Just like the previous attacks.

They were dropped off by a van.

They worked their way through the bakery,

and they exited the rear.

Is there a message?

The other attacks came
with a message from Joe.

I'm not aware of any message, no.

Emma: Mandy's
a problem, Joe.

Carroll: Yeah. Yeah. She's been
something of a disappointment.

I was hoping to strengthen her resolve,

but she's not quite coming around, is she?

I've heard talk.
People are wondering

why you didn't put her
in the hole with the others.

Favoritism is frowned upon here.

It's about unity, remember?

Let me think about the best
way to deal with her, yeah?

I think she's a lost cause.

Duly noted, em, duly noted.

Sorry.

Joe, can I talk to you?

Yes, yes, Robert, of course.

What's up?

You know that I have done
everything that you asked,

but I...

What? What is it,
Robert?

What's, uh, what's bothering you?

Carla was at Korban for 8 years.

She was a kind and generous soul.

Why her?

Blood sacrifice is...

is nothing new to this community, Robert.

I know, but...

she was a friend to me.

She helped me when I first came to Korban.

She... she stood
beside me.

Yeah. Carla was
a... very special woman.

That's why she was chosen to go home.

Do you really believe that?

Yes. Yes, I do
very much.

Don't... don't you?

Yeah. I... Yeah.
I just... It's...

There are some people here

that are... are
questioning you.

Oh.

They miss Micah.

He was always the one
that chose who went home.

People know about your past,

and they... they doubt
your sincerity.

But not you, right?

No, no. Joe,
I'm... I'm with you.

You know that.

Yeah.

But what am I supposed to tell the others?

You tell them not to confuse
the man I used to be

with the man I am now.

You tell them that Micah
is still in our hearts

and that we have great work to do.

You know, we... we have a
special mission here, Robert,

a mission to save the world.

Salvation is ours

through the redemption of others.

Of course.

I'm sorry to even bring it up...

No, it's...

But it just...

Carla just hit me hard, that's all.

I... I'm sorry
I bothered you.

Please. It's fine.

Excuse me.

What was that?

Now we do have a problem.

Tell me, uh, do you have any sway with him?

I'm not sure.

Can you find out?

Because he was just questioning me.

The others trust him.

We have to hold him close.

[Beep beep]

Terri Burke?

Yes.

[Grunts]

Hey.

You mind if I come in?

No. No. Not at all.

So talk to me.

You can be totally honest with me, Robert.

What's going on?

I get it, you know?

I do.

I've doubted Joe, too.

He's made mistakes.

That's why he needs people
like us to guide him.

Does he really believe
we're saving these people?

I know I do because I choose to believe it.

If you believe it, it is your reality.

I was raised by a woman
who told me every day

that I was ugly and sick and a mistake.

Joe was the first person to look at me

and tell me that I was perfect.

He believed in me until I
could believe in myself.

You have to trust him, Robert.

I want to.

All you have to do is believe in him.

I do, I do, but...

And me.

Believe in me.

I just want to know that
what I believe in is real.

This is real.

Feel it.

Believe it.

Have faith.

Man: We got to triage.

Come on, come on, come on!

The victims from the bakery attack.

Woman:
We're out of room!

Man: Supplies.
Whatever you got.

Man: More injured
coming in!

Man: You're lucky.

It's just a superficial wound.

[Cell phone vibrates]

_

[Cell phone vibrates]

I had a patient in here.
Do you know where he went?

Uh-uh. Sorry.

_

They killed two cooks, wounded two more,

and then they exited through that backdoor.

Why is Joe Carroll taking out a bakery?

Why this bakery?

How many employees did you say?

5 in all.
1 was killed in front,

2 here, and 2 were
taken to the Emergency Room.

According to this, there's
only 3 people working.

What hospital were the victims taken to?

I don't know.
The nearest one.

I need the hospital where
the victims were taken.

[Beep]

[Buzzer]

I have to get some blood
work for Dr. Gibbs.

The authorization.

Man on radio: They were taken
to Manhattan Memorial.

That's where Luke is being kept.

This isn't Joe.

It's Lily Gray.

Hmm.

Who are you?

Hello?

Darling?

Mom?

Please do exactly as Serena tells you.

I'm bringing you home.

They entered the ER as victims.

They're gonna try to break Luke out.

Lock the hospital down now.

Secure the prisoner in custody!

[Sirens]

- Put this on.
- What's the plan?

You heard your mother. I'm
gonna get you out of here.

Stay calm and be patient.

[Telephone ringing]

Woman: Hello. ICU.

Marshal Keeler, it's for you.

Marshal Keeler.

Keeler: Come again?

Sir, you can't be here.
This is a secured area.

Just push them where I was told.
I was told here.

Hey, hey stop.

Stay where you are show me your hands!

Oh, man.
Just doing my job.

[Screams]

[Whimpers]

Let's go.

[Gunshots]

This way.

Now what?

We got an ambulance downstairs.

We got to go now!

They know we're here.
Got to go, got to go.

You take the south stairwell.

You go north.

I may need some covers getting out.

Man: Yeah?

Second man:
We have a problem.

Hurry up. We were
made too quick.

What the hell happened?

Two minutes out.
We'll be there.

I need agents at all entrances and exits.

Let's secure this ground floor now!

This way.

Ok. Upstairs.

We'll go around.

Please! Help me! They
killed everybody!

It's all right.
It's all right, ma'am.

Calm down.

The room's empty.

Woman: I heard them.
They're meeting

an ambulance downstairs.

They're using an ambulance to escape!

Let's go, let's go.

Secure the location.
No ambulances are to leave.

[Tires squeal]

[Sirens]

Man: Clear that weapon!

Copy that.
The ambulance was empty.

They're still in the hospital.

Let's go, let's go.

Ryan, that's everybody
that was on the floor.

Hospital administration's checking IDs.

All right. I'm gonna go
floor to floor.

You take the north stairway, I go south.

Be careful.

Where's Serena?

I didn't see her.

I don't get it. Why didn't we
take the ambulance like you said?

The FBI and NYPD arrived
much earlier than expected.

They got on to us somehow.

They've shut down the entire perimeter.

So what now?

We go with plan B.

I'll take the kid.

We'll be at the back entrance of the market

in 20 minutes.
Meet us with the car.

You got it.

Just follow me.
Do exactly as I say.

Yeah. You guys
keep saying that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey. I was told
to bring all

hospital personnel up
to 4 for verification.

All right. Let me
see your ID.

Thank you.

Ok.

Thank you.
Let me see yours.

Ok.

Ma'am, can you turn your
ID around so I can see it?

Uh, sorry.
I'm really shaky.

Tell me where Lily Gray is.

I don't talk ever.

Where is she, or you die.

Then I die.

Where is she?!

You're just gonna have to kill me.

[Screams]

Man on TV: There's
a serpent in our garden,

one who speaks of blood
as blessing and hate as love,

one who seduces our troubled
brothers and sisters

with his lies.

I'm speaking to you, Joe Carroll.

I'm speaking to you and
all your crazy followers.

You repent now!

Who is that?

He's a megachurch Evangelist
who's set his sights on us.

...eternal damnation.
You denounce sin!

I expect we're rather good for his ratings.

How did things go with Robert?

He won't be a problem.

I knew I could rely on you, Em.

The Bible?

If I'm gonna be the prophet of salvation,

I need one or two more buzz words.

This isn't a joke, Joe.

We're running out of time.

Robert is right.
These people are

looking to us for guidance.

So what is the plan?

Same as it's always been...

to regain our legacy
and live forever in infamy.

That is a bumper sticker, Joe.

That's not an answer.

Oh. Ok. You want
an answer?

You know, it's no accident
that we've ended up

in this place, Em.

I know that now.

No. My big mistake last year
was thinking way to small.

No. Poe was never
gonna be the answer.

You know, more people have been killed

in the name of religion
than any other cause on Earth,

and yet religion hides that violence

in the language of peace,

so we are... we're gonna
show the world the truth.

Religion's not about love or charity.

It is about blood and sacrifice.

Here. Look.

"Matthew" 10:34.

"Jesus said, do not think I
came to bring peace on Earth.

I did not come to bring peace but a sword,

for I came to set a man against his father

and a daughter
against her mother."

And if the, uh, good
preacher wants a holy war,

then, by hell, we'll give him one,

and the whole world shall bear witness.

Ok, then.

[TV audio muted]

Said, "Why the long face?"

[Laughter]

You know?

Well, I didn't think
it was anything like that.

The desire was kind of the strangest...

strangest thing.

[Radio squawks]

Mike: Hey, Ryan.
Where are you?

They're heading to the marketplace
outside the hospital.

Get units there now!

[Clang]

Hello, Ryan.
What are you doing here?

Get on the ground.

It's good to see you, too.

On the ground now!

Aw, come on. This ground
is filthy, man.

Come on.

Down on your knees.

Down on your knees!

Drop the gun!
Drop the gun.

Hey!

What took you so long?

Down on your knees.

Lace your fingers behind your head.

Put these on.

Come on!

By now, NYPD and the FBI

have cordoned off a 3-block
radius around the hospital,

so there's no way out,
but I could help you.

All I want is Luke.

You can walk out of here.

Not with the kind of money
these guys are making.

Don't be stupid, Ryan.

They're paid killers.

You can't possibly compete.

Ok. So how are you
getting out?

I mean, they've already started
a person-by-person search.

This is over, fellas.

He's got a point. How are
we getting out of here?

Market's upstairs.

We're gonna walk out of here.

Murph's waiting with a car.

[Grunting]

[Screams]

[Gunshot]

This is the phone they used
to contact Lily Gray.

Have cyber forensics look into it.

Anything on the ground search?

We got every available agent and officer

patrolling the area, but he
could be anywhere by now, Ryan.

Carrie: Ryan!

Let her through.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

I heard you were a hero again today.

You need to stop doing that.

It's very stressful.

No hero, not today.

I'm going on air. I have
to go, but dinner later?

Yeah, sure.

Carrie: The FBI has few leads

as to where Lily and her sons may be hiding

as this bizarre nightmare continues.

[Knock on door]

Luke.

[Crying]

Mark.

Luke.

I missed you, Mark.

It's good to see you, little brother.

Mom.

[Lily crying]

Oh, baby. I've
been so worried.

Are you ok?
Are you hurt?

I will kill them all.

I'm fine, mom.

I'm just happy to be back.

Carrie: Police sources have
confirmed that today's violence

was not the work of Joe Carroll.

Instead, Lily Gray has taken center stage

by impersonating Carroll and his followers

in order to free her imprisoned son.

You clever, little viper.

Oh, we'll show her.

Look at the resources this woman has.

She busted into
a government-secured hospital.

How do you go up
against somebody like that?

She's more calculated than Joe

with so little regard for human life

that she would seek out
a man's father and kill him.

I don't understand it.

I try, but I don't.

It can't be understood.

We're gonna find them, Mike.

We're gonna find Lily Gray and Joe Carroll.

Yeah?

I don't see it.

Well, I do.

Optimism.

Remember? Hope?

And then after all this
is over, you and me...

we're gonna go have a life.

You know why?

The universe owes us.

You understand that?

Good. Let's get
the hell out of here.

Yeah. She missed
a big day.
