The Missing (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Till Death - full transcript

Previously on "Missing"...

(Michael) Come on! We have to go!
Michael's on the train.

Get her in the car.
No!

Why aren't we out there...
looking for your son?

You stole a CIA helicopter
and flew to moscow.

They control drugs,
arms smuggling,

black market diamonds,
human trafficking,

even murder and extortion.

An unknown ex-operative is
at the head of it all.

We call him suspect zero.

Aah!



Don't touch her!
Aah!

He's Viktor Azimoff's son?

Don't you wonder
what became of him?

All the time.

Nothing. No Michael Winstone.

(Jamie) Your son
was not on the train.

He's dead. We killed him.
(Grunts)

(Both grunt)

Looks like you lose, Winstone.

(Blade squishes)

Aah!

Becca Winstone is going down.

Vienna.

You just have to decide
if you're going down with her.



(Horn honks)

(Police radio chatter,
camera shutter clicking)

You two stay.

There's no prints on the knife,

but from the angle
and location of the wounds,

we're almost certain
the killer is female,

also very fast, extremely good,

a product of expert training.

Sounds like our Becca.

Yeah, it does.

So...

Where's she go next?

Any ideas?

Why you asking me?

Because you're her friend.

And you.

She left this room from a door

that can only be unlocked
from the outside.

No, you have been at her side
ever since she got to Europe.

Now hold on, Miller.

And you have been making excuses
for her, Newman,

every step of the way.

If this is about the knife...

no, she could've done that
on her own.

Ceramic blade.
Just get it past the sensors.

But she couldn't have unlocked
that door.

Hey, when we got back,
before we found the body,

you were alone.
Maybe you opened that door.

Maybe you did.

We need to find her.

(Indistinct conversations)

Michael.

Michael.

(Speaks German)

(Viktor) Unter einem Vogel

mit seiner kinder.

(Voice echoes)
Mit seiner kinder.

Do you need help?

I have a meeting in vienna.

The location has something to do
with a bird. Vogel.

Zur vogelkirsche.

Under the wild cherry tree.
Do you know where that is?

I have no idea.

(People shout indistinctly)

(Horns honk)

(Siren wailing)

(Grunts)

I am not a traitor,

but I am gonna find my son.

(Laughter,
indistinct conversations)

You're a little late.

(Man shouts indistinctly)

(Beep)

Stay with me.

A little longer.
Just hang on.

(Panting)

Yes.

People are coming.
We're gonna be okay.

(Speaking slavic language)

Huh?

No. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.
Shh. Shh. Shh.

(Both speak slavic language)

(Speaking slavic language)

(Telephone ringing)
So, agent Rossi...

What do you really think
happened in there?

You're asking did I help her?

From what I understand, you two
had a special relationship.

Maybe still do.

So you always knew the truth
about Paul, yes?

He was bad.

Well, that took some doing,
but I figured it out eventually.

You think it's him...
suspect zero?

Nothing would surprise me now.

Not even the truth about Becca?

That she was in on it.

Yeah.

That one got me.

The one thing I do know
for sure though...

I love her.

She's like my own daughter.

If that makes me a suspect,
too, then...

maybe just a fool.

Then I'm a fool, too,
a bigger one.

(Chuckles)

Violet just called in.

Said she caught up with
Winstone, who evaded capture

and also took her gun.

I'd say you got a problem.
She's the one with the problem.

If she opens fire
on my operatives,

I told them to take her down.

(Footsteps)

(Gasps)

(Both panting)

(Creaks)

(Engine sputtering)

(Man shouts in slavic language)

(Sputtering continues)
It won't start.

Come on!
(Shouts in slavic language)

(Engine turns over)

(Michael) Get down!

Aah!
Aah!

(Man shouts in slavic language)

(Shouts in slavic language)

(Bullets ricochet)

(Siren wailing)

(Beeps)

(Ring)

(Ring)

(Ring) Yeah?

Giancarlo.

Becca.

Ortega thinks that I'm a traitor
and that I'm working with Paul.

Okay, listen to me. You have
to get off the streets now.

(Siren wailing, tires screech)
You're right.

We shouldn't talk on the phone.

I have no right to ask this,
but I need your help.

Okay.

Meet me in 20 minutes
at the Karlsplatz.

The number 5 car
of the 4 u-bahn.

Got it.

You're the only one
I can trust.

Okay.

You're the only one
I have left.

We have a deal...
cooperation.

What did she say?
It's now or never, Rossi.

She wants to meet.

Karlsplatz station, 20 minutes.

That's one of the old protocols
I trained her in.

So you're working with us?

Only on the condition
she isn't harmed.

You're in no position
to bargain.

Of course I am, Miller.

You need what I know.

I'm going to be right here
when you bring her in,

and I'm gonna be by her side
at every step.

First you better worry
about him.

What about it, Rossi?

You know she could be
setting you up.

Either way, if she figures out
you're working with us,

then...

I know her better than
anyone else.

I know what she is.

She betrayed me.

I'm in.

I'm in.

?

what are these signs?
I can't even read these.

These aren't even Russian.

Oksana.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oksana, come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on. Come on.

Here. Look. Look. Look.
Look. Look. Look.

There's a town up ahead.
We'll find a hospital.

(Dax) I want one agent
on each incoming train,

and one on each platform.

(Indistinct conversations)

Don't crowd her. Hang back.

Rossi's wearing
a tracking device.

(Martin) She's watching you now.

(Indistinct conversations)

There goes Rossi.
Time to cowboy up.

Even if she trusts you, she's
gotta be sure you're alone.

And not know you're wired.

First rule of spycraft...

never say "cowboy up."

Everyone report.

Follow one, standing by.

Report.
Follow two on the move. Inbound.

Don't be a hero, Rossi.
Just make sure she's unarmed

to gain her trust.
We'll do the rest.

(Indistinct conversations)

(Martin) Don't try
to speak to her right away.

Let her set the pace.
Just stay with her.

She's given herself enough time.

She should be making contact
right...

About...

Now.

(Indistinct conversations)

We need intel.

(Telephone ringing)

(Martin) We don't want civilians
getting killed.

(Bell chimes) Just keep her on the
move until you can be certain

she isn't armed.
(Man speaks German)

Wait for her to talk.

Tracking device is working,
Rossi. We have you in sight.

She'll get off
at the next stop.

Lead him onto the outbound,

going the opposite way
across the platform.

(Indistinct conversations)

She's taking the passage
to the "d" line.

Now she'll wait in the tunnel
until it's clear.

(Beeping)

(Bell chimes)

She's boarding the local.
Is that protocol?

No. She should be taking
the "s,"

the express to the suburbs.

Good deal, everyone.

See if she'll give us
a clue what's next.

Is it safe to talk?

Thank you for coming.

You don't know how bad it is.

Do you know how bad it is?

Ortega's dead.
(Gasps)

Dax and the agents...
they think that you killed her.

Stabbed.

Yeah, in the room where
she was questioning you.

Who opened that door for you?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Something's wrong.

(Static hisses)

Becca, just tell me the truth.

Just... tell me.

Did you do it?

No.

I believe you.

Enough to lose the wire?

I already did.

(High-pitched whining) He's cut us off.
He's cut us off.

Follow one and follow two,

intercept now!

Sir, the transponder's here.
He's not.

Damn it!

We've been following
the wrong train.

Damn it!

How do we get out of here?

(Monitor beeping steadily)

You are Americans?

I am.

She's, uh, she's been with me
this whole time.

Is this Romania?

Hungary.

How can you not know
what country you are in?

I'm sorry. I-I just, uh...

Can you just tell me
if she's gonna be okay?

The doctor says you came
just in time.

(Sighs deeply)

It's not as bad as it looks.

(Woman speaking indistinctly
over p.A.)

(Birds chirping, dog barking)

(Metal clanks)

(Grunts)

(Men speaking German)

It's rush hour. They can't
shut down the entire system.

It's too late now.
They could be anywhere.

I'm sorry, sir. I had her.
I just...

Where's Azimoff?
We don't know.

We downgraded the search for him once
we had Winstone. (Cell phone rings)

Well, upgrade it again.
She could still be after him.

(Ring, beep)

Chief, sorry. I've got
an embassy official here.

Mr. Miller, we've just received
a transmit

from a consular officer
in Hungary.

A Michael Winstone just
telephoned the embassy there.

He says that he and another
person just escaped

after being held captive
by persons unknown.

They have no passports and are
in danger of being arrested

by Hungarian police.

"Unter einem Vogel
mit seiner kinder."

"Under the bird
with her children."

That's what I heard
Azimoff say in the car,

and then something that could be
"at the wild cherry tree."

And it's today? Mittwoch?

It's Wednesday.

All I know is he was taking both
Michael and me somewhere.

So what we're looking for...

what did he say?
Uh, "Vogel kirche"?

What did you say?

Huh. What?
Is my accent really so bad?

Yeah. It's terrible.

"Kirche" without the "s"
is "church."

Church, yeah. But he said
"Vogel kirche."

So where is there in vienna
a bird church?

Let's find out.

(Fitzpatrick)
The Michael Winstone call

came from
the Hungarian wine district,

about a 24-hour train ride
from moscow.

That fits the timeline. We'll
send someone to check it out.

I'll go.

Kid's my godson.

Report what you find.

Naturally.

(Siren wailing)

I'll call you when I have him.

(Cell phone beeps) No reports
of Azimoff returning to moscow.

We did check his
surveillance files. And?

Helios transport pays rent
on a number of apartments

throughout Europe,
supposedly for executive use.

There's one here in vienna.
It's worth a shot.

All right. See who
they're leasing it from

and if anyone's come in or out.

(Sighs)

Danke, schwester.

St. Margaret's church
in the old innere stadt is

called the bird church.

Features a famous painting
of a pelican

that people believed,
in times of famine,

would feed her children
with her own blood.

It stands for sacrifice.

"Under the bird
with her children."

We have to get to that church.

Whatever Azimoff is up to,
that's where it's going down.

(Indistinct conversations)

"Zur Vogel kirche."

Noon mass will
just be finishing.

Okay, I'll go inside.
You check the cemetery.

You're risking everything.

(Scoffs) Don't think about it.

No, in all this, you're
the only one who believes me.

How can you be so sure?

That you're not working
with Paul?

Does that answer your question?

And raises a few others.

(Sighs)

(Beeps)

(Speaks German)

(Panting)

Becca.

(Bag thuds) You son of a bitch.
Where's Michael?

(Grunts)

Rebecca, listen to me.

So you can lie to me some more?
(Grunts) (Grunts)

(Grunts)

Stop. It's not
what Langley thinks.

Where's Michael?!
(Grunts)

(Grunts) I was never
working with Azimoff.

I don't believe you.

I was undercover,
working against him,

and my cover was blown.

Then why are you here?

Straight swap...
the stocks for Michael.

(Grunts)

It's me they want, not Michael.

They want me dead.

So you'd give your life
for his?

Wouldn't you?

(Gasps)

I'm sorry.

Good-bye, Becca.

Concierge says the apartment's
been empty for months.

Nothing there now.

Ground floor, in the back,

no view.

If you were Azimoff,
why rent it?

We're wasting time.

This is one lead
among a hundred, sir.

Meantime, the target is
getting away.

(Speaking German)

You speak good German
for an American.

Vielen dank.

Most don't bother to learn.

I wonder if you could tell me
about some other foreigners...

not American,

living in the ground floor
at the back?

Russians.

Don't listen to the landlady

when she tells you
they are never there.

Hmm?

They like it because
it has a secret way

so you don't see them
go in or out.

A secret way?

From when the house
belonged to the bishop...

Oh.

(Lowered voice)
For his mistresses.

Where does it lead?

To the church.

You still haven't explained

how you got into our country
without a passport.

I have told you, like, a half
dozen times, we were kidnapped.

Again, not together
but separately.

And you escaped
on a magical mystery train.

(Martin)
Is that my long-lost godson?

(Man speaks Hungarian)

I was afraid you wouldn't
recognize me.

What is it, ten years?

(Laughs) Oh, my God.

What are you doing here?

How did you find us?

Ah, there'll be time
to answer questions later.

Right now
we gotta get out of here.

Where's mom?

She's not with you?

No.

But we have to call her. I've
been trying to call her, but...

Michael,
I can't find her either.

Your mom's in a lot of trouble.

(Voice echoes) Becca.

Becca.

(Birds chirping)

Becca.

Giancarlo.

Paul was here.

And Azimoff is inside.

He's meeting with Paul.

Swapping Michael
for the stock certificates?

He has them, but that's
not what they really want.

Then what?
They want Paul dead.

But Azimoff
doesn't have Michael.

Paul is about to give his life
for nothing.

(Indistinct conversations)

(Door creaks open)

Paul, he doesn't have Michael!
(Grunts)

(Grunts)

(Shell casings clatter)

(Panting)

(Door bangs open)

Whatever happened, we're about
half a minute too late.

Seal the building.

(Clatter)

I talked to the doctor.

Your friend is gonna be fine.

What else can you tell me
about my mom?

What had to wait
until we were alone?

She's CIA, isn't she?

So are you.

In here.

I read all your books.

Mom told me not to, so I did.

I always knew you were
something at the embassy...

something nobody talked about.

I won't deny it.

I'm not asking you to.

But mom?

There were all these clues.
I just...

Never put 'em together,

like, how she banned anything
with a gun in the household,

but she knew everything
about them.

I saw her take a loaded gun off
of a kid in a school parking lot

because she could see
he was packing.

No one else even noticed.

I saw her try to rescue me
from that plane.

Is she the reason
that they grabbed me?

Took me to that place?

I can't tell you everything.
You understand?

Mostly because...

I don't know everything
for certain.

But... (Sighs)

There are a lot of people
in the agency

that have her under suspicion.

Suspicion of what?

Doesn't matter.
I know she's innocent.

But I think there's someone else
trying to set her up.

It's not just mom
who's in trouble.

I had to save her.

I killed a man.

(Sighs)

I don't know if you or mom

have ever had to do
anything like that.

Son.

Look at me.

I have done it.

You never get over it.

But if you did it
to save a life,

if you had to,

then it's all right.

Those you learn to live with.

Now let's get out of here.

Not without her.

(Sirens blaring)

No one's come out
since we got here.

There were shots fired about
four minutes ago

that could've come
from anywhere down here,

the, uh, what do you call it...

grab gewolbe, the burial vaults.
Okay, Danke.

Send me in first.

I'll be less obvious
than a bunch of cops.

I started this job.
I'd like to finish it.

See what you can do.

(Typing)

Help a fellow out?

We could both look for her.

(Door closes in distance)

You go that way.

Azimoff doesn't have Michael,
but he knows who does.

Becca...

don't.

Why did they take him?

Because I had to see him.

I wasn't gonna contact him.
I just...

I just needed to see him.

So I went to that soccer game,

and they saw me.

Someone I don't even know
who recognized me.

Once they knew I was alive,

they kidnapped Michael...

To draw me out.

So disappearing...

You were undercover,
and they found out?

I knew I could
never see you again.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because they would have
killed you.

I knew...

The only way I could stop
you looking for me...

Was to really make you think
I was dead.

Becca...

I...

(rattling in distance)

Let her go.

It's between us.

He wants you dead.

We can't both walk away.

Who is he?

Suspect zero?

You still haven't
figured it out?

(Gun cocks)

What are you waiting for?

Shoot him.

Kill him.

Maksim.

We just want our son.

That's all we want.

Do what I say.

Shoot him.

Just shoot him!

(Grunts)

(Thud)

Now I have killed
both my parents.

(Engine turns off,
van doors close)

(Men speaking indistinctly)

(Woman speaking indistinctly
over p.A.)

(Moans)

(Gasps)

Oksana?

Michael.

Wh-wh-what's happening?

Everything's fine.
We're fine.

A friend is going to help.

Friend?
You have friends here?

Whatever happens,

we'll get through it.

I'll make sure.

He was right, in the end.

About what?

It's who I am...

And what I am.

You think this makes up for it?

For all the people
I have killed for him?

I don't know, Maksim.

That night in Paris...

(Gunshot)

(Gasps)

I would never have killed you.

I only wanted
to scare you away.

I don't scare easily.

(Door opens in distance)
(Man) This way!

(Rapid footsteps approaching)

?

You still can't tell me
where we're going?

Not till we're there.

Or I can be sure
who's listening.

Just know that it's safe.

?

(Beeps)

We have to go.

I can't go to the agency.
They think I'm in it with you.

But Martin...

Martin?

He never told you?

Becca, all the time
I was undercover,

working to bring them down,
he was running me.

He was the only one
who knew the truth.

That doesn't make sense.

Martin is the one who told me
you went bad.

(Cell phone rings)

(Ring)

(Ring)

Da?

Nein. Ist Maksim.

Yes, I have it.
I'll send it in a minute.

Yes, I will tell him.

(Cell phone beeps)

It was Martin Newman
calling for my father.

Martin is suspect zero.

He wanted to tell him he has
successfully recaptured the boy.

(Gasps) No.

Michael Winstone.

(Whispers) No.

Your son.

(Gasps)
