The Whispers (2015): Season 1, Episode 13 - Game Over - full transcript

Previously on The Whispers...

Drill's been here before,
back in 1982.

His whole planet was dying.

He needed a way to send a signal
back to the others.

And your father works
with signals.

Mr. President,
we learned how to kill Drill.

He can possess the body
of a child.

Once he does,
he can be destroyed.

It's Cassandra!
It's the President's daughter!

The press conference.
This is how he's gonna do it.

He's gonna send the signal.



Many questions
after yesterday's incident

at the White House,

with the revelation that
an extraterrestrial being

had taken harbor
inside the body --

but reports are trickling in

that the visitors
used the broadcast

to send some kind of message.

What that mess--

riots erupting
all over the world.

The real danger is not
the possibility of invasion.

It's how the fearful public
will react to the possibility.

We still haven't heard
from the White House

on the condition
of Cassandra winters.

And while a nation prays
for its leader's only child,



the biggest question
in everyone's mind is...

Are we under an alien attack?

At this moment,
that is the only thing

we need to be focused on.

We're monitoring activity

on every deep-space
satellite we have.

The international community
has reached out with support

from their military,
as well as scientific --

with all due respect, sir,

if you're looking for an answer
to your question,

there's only one person
who can give it to you --

Drill.

He's being transferred to
a secure location as we speak.

We will use whatever measures
are necessary to break him down.

And if there is an
alien invasion coming,

we will find a way to stop it.

And what makes you believe
he's gonna tell us a damn thing?

Because we have to believe
in something, sir.

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS

Hey.

I've been calling you.
Are you all right?

Yes. I'm sorry.
I tried to stop it, Sean.

I'm sorry. I just --
I-I couldn't --

I know.

I know. Just... Just come home.

I can't. Not yet.
I have to talk to her.

To him...

And find out exactly
what that signal meant.

I've been trying to
figure that out, too.

In 1982,
another signal of Drill's

was intercepted
by a guy who worked for NASA.

Thomas Harcourt's father.

- That's right.
- Yes. Anything --

anything you can find out.

How is Henry?
Are -- are he and Minx...?

They're fine.
They're upstairs playing.

Claire, I-I need you
to promise me something.

If it turns out that today...

that today is the last day,

we need to be a family.

I'll be there. I promise.

Okay.

I'm sorry for what I did to you.

I should have believed you when
you said you weren't Drill.

It's okay.

No, it's not.
I was a bad friend.

Drill was a bad friend.

I wish I never met him. Then...

Then my mommy
would still be alive.

I'd give up my hearing
to make that come true.

I was wondering --

would you teach me
some sign language?

Sure. What do you want to learn?

How do you say...

..."I hope somebody makes Drill
pay for what he's done"?

Hello, Claire.
What can I do for you?

To start --
you can leave Cassandra.

Spare her life.

She was dead
the moment I took her.

What you see here
is nothing more than a suit.

A husk.

Does that make you feel bad, Claire?

You don't get
to ask the questions.

All right. You go ahead.

I have nothing to hide.

What you did at the White House,

were you sending out a signal?

I was.

What did the signal mean?

I guess you might call it...

The beginning.

The beginning of what?

You already know, Claire.

Harper told you what was coming
the first time you met.

Domination.

*** SONG LIVES FOR EVER ***

Mr. Harcourt,
I'm truly sorry about your son.

Yes, the... Doctor
at the hospital,

she told me
how you tried to save him.

I appreciate that.

I wish there was more
I could do.

Well, then we have that
in common.

Look, I've been
watching the news.

I figured you'd be calling.

So then you heard
Drill's signal.

I heard more than that,
Mr. Bennigan.

I heard the answer.

You know, there's one thing
I haven't heard from you yet.

And what's that?

A thank-you.

Why the hell would I thank you?

Because I saved
your husband's life,

fixed your son
so he could hear again.

And still...
You treat me like a villain.

You corrupted our children.

If parents paid more
attention to them,

I wouldn't have been able to.

But they're always alone,

watching TV,
playing video games.

So who's really corrupting
the children, Claire?

Anything new?

Listen, I'm authorized
to negotiate with you

on behalf of the United States
Department of Defense.

You're clearly intelligent.

You must know about
our military capability.

Surely there must be some
agreement we can reach

to prevent harm coming
to both of our people.

You both had opportunities
to stop this,

but you failed
because you weren't willing

to do one simple thing.

And what's that?

Sacrifice.

If you were willing to sacrifice
that boy in the blackout,

I would have been trapped there,
unable to contact my friends.

And... your wife
would still be alive.

- Don't even mention her.
- Or what?

You'll kill me?

It would be a shame
to miss your friends,

especially after
you've done all the work.

Not quite all the work.

There's still
one more thing to do.

And what might that be?

Haven't you listened
to a word I've said?

If you want to win the game,

you must be willing
to sacrifice.

What's he doing?

Did he just kill himself?

Why would he do that?

He wouldn't.

Not without a reason.

I... hope...

Someone... punishes...

Drill...

That was Sean.
He's with Ron Harcourt.

Apparently Drill's friends...
They answered.

What do you mean, "answered"?

They sent a message
like the one he heard in '82.

He thinks that maybe,
if he can translate it,

he can send one
back to them and try and --

okay, I'll -- I'll --
I'll alert the Pentagon.

- You have him call me the
second he gets so... - I will.

I'm headed home now.

Honey, have you seen my glass...?

There is it.

Nicholas. Nicholas, open this door.

Nicholas? Are you out there?

Nicholas, let me out!

Where are you going with that?

Conference room.

They're coordinating
with the National Guard.

Uh, when you're done,

I want to send some units out
to check on some families.

These are the kids that were
picked up in that round-up.

Jessup?

Tam, what are you doing here?

I just --
I wanted to see you.

Uh, I'll get you that list
in a minute.

Now is not really
the best time --

I know.

How's, uh...?

Oh, it's... Not too bad.

I never thought
I'd be having a...

Me neither.

Listen, I-I thought
maybe we could talk.

I know.

And I have no business
even coming here,

but if this is it, if this is the end...

- but if this is it, if this is the end...
- Tam.

...then I want to spend it
with you.

I got a job to do.

For once in your life, Jessup,
just forget about your job.

Come with me.

Be with me.

Let me go!

Excuse me.

Would you mind just w-watching
the car for a second?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Did you see three kids
just walk through here --

Claire Bennigan?

Yes?

Mother of Henry Bennigan.

Yes.

I think it's safe to assume any attack
would come from the sky.

So -- so the fact that the --
the last rock we found

was buried under the Sahara
desert doesn't mean anything?

Wes, we know it crashed
when it collided mid-flight

with Sean Bennigan's plane.

Okay, that doesn't mean there's
not other things out there.

We know that there were
other visitors in 1982.

How did they get here?

Where -- where --
where's their rock?

All I'm saying is that
any choice we make now

will be purely based
on assumption.

And what are you always saying?

You can't fight an enemy if you
don't know what they want.

Well, that's what
you were supposed to find out

before the only person
who could tell us

blew himself to smithereens.

There may be another choice.

We just need to give them time.

Give who time?

At NASA, when we heard
sounds from space...

...they would get translated
into a series of codes.

Mostly numbers or letters
that look something like this.

That's the signal I picked up

just before Drill arrived
in 1982.

And this from yesterday...

...which was translated
by the computer

as this series of numbers --
111215, 111215, over and over.

I know that number.

I know that number.

These tattoos...

I have them everywhere.

They mean something.

Or meant something to Drill.

Do you think that we could use
these a-as a Rosetta Stone

- to figure out a language?
- Dad?

There's a strange lady
staring at our house.

Hello.

- Can I help you?
- Perhaps.

Are you Sean Bennigan?

I am.

The father of Henry Bennigan?

You want to tell me
what this is about?

Are we ready?

Hey, Claire. It'-- it's it's me again.

Uh, just wondering
where you guys are with the...

with the message.

The Natives are getting restless
over here, understandably.

I'll -- I'll try you
on the home phone.

Where the hell are you, Claire?

Sean. Sean.

Sean.

Hen-- where's Henry?
Where's Henry?

I know. I know. I know.
I don't know. I...

Where are we?

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Bennigan.

Who the hell are you people?

Just think of us as a friends.

Look, I don't know
what you want from us --

it's not about what we want,
Mrs. Bennigan.

Just sit tight. I'll all be over soon.

Our son? Where is he?

We just need to know he's okey.

Henry is fine.

All the children... are fine.

Harper, I understand you were
a tremendous help with our friend.

Drill and I helped each other.

That what it's all about, isn't it.

Helping each other.

Just like you helped me today.

Correct.

And while it doesn't seem like
your parents understand...

Someday they will.

This is how
I'm supposed to get there.

So, where should we go?

I don't care.

As long as I'm with you.

What is it?

That girl -- I know her.

Hey, Harper. Do you remember me?

I work with Claire Bennigan.
We spoke with you about Drill.

I was wondering...

Hi. I'm agent Jessup Rollins.

How do you know
little Harper here?

I'm just a friend
of the family's.

Is that right, Harper?

She's just a friend
of the family.

I'm sorry.
I didn't catch your name.

- Mrs. Hollander.
- Mrs. Hollander.

Nice to meet you.

Good to see you again, Harper.

Take care of yourself,
all right?

What was that all about?

That's exactly
what I was wondering.

Okay, I just need to call
my partner, okay, and then --

oh, Jessup.

I wish you hadn't
seen that girl.

So, you're gonna kill us?

I don't believe so.

Then why are we here?

Because that's what
Drill wanted.

We all have a part to play,
Mrs. Bennigan.

And if we're patient,

we all eventually find out
what it is.

What else did Drill want?

Just for everything
to go smoothly.

You mean for the invasion.

Was it called an "invasion"

when the pilgrims came
to the new world?

Or was it called "progress"?

An effort to teach the savage
natives a better way of life.

Did Drill tell you that?

When?

Before or after they picked up
bits of him off the floor?

Drill said you'd try to get
under our skin.

Drill only talks to children.
How do you --

because Drill doesn't just discard
his friends, Mr. Bennigan.

He doesn't move them aside

when someone more useful
comes along.

Once Drill makes you his friend,
you're his friend for life.

You didn't meet Drill recently,
did you?

You met him
when you were just a girl.

We forget the things that made
us happy when we were a child.

We lock them away in our brain
to make you --

make way for love and work
and other grown-up things.

Sometimes...

All it takes
is a little something

to jog your memory,
and it all comes flooding back.

Drill's death...

- What?
- It was just a trigger.

That's why he did it.

These people,
they're like some kind of...

Sleeper cell.

Claire?

Hello?

Claire? Sean?

Minx?

I think you need to see this.

This feed is showing the view

from the S.O.R. Telescope
at Kirtland.

What's happening?

Those stars...

Are they moving?

Those aren't stars, sir.

They're coming.

Would you at least
tell me your name?

Oh, our names don't matter,
Mrs. Bennigan,

any more than yours do.

Is that why all the visitors
are called Drill?

Perhaps.

Or maybe it's because,
to them, no one matters.

Everyone is interchangeable,
a means to an end.

Do you know what the end
looks like?

That will be enough.

Thomas Harcourt,
he met Drill in 1982.

I'm guessing that's --

that's right around the time
that you met him.

He found out what the end
looks like...

Just a few days ago,

when he wouldn't tell Drill
what he wanted to know.

You think we don't know
about Thomas?

All Drill's friends --
we're connected.

We all have our part to play
in the coming.

Oh, my God. How
many of those are there?

There's no way to know.
This is just one satellite.

Where the hell is Wes Lawrence?

Minx?

Minx?

Henry? Minx?

Minx?

Baby?

Hello? Can you hear me?

Jessup?

Hey. Uh, I'm in trouble here.

Yeah, I think we all are.
Where are you?

I'm in a trunk.
I think it's mine.

Okay. Just --
Just hang in there, okay?

Have you seen Sean and Claire?

No. What the hell is going on?

Okay, that's what
I-I'm trying to figure out.

Just keep your phone on you.
I'll track you.

Hopefully, wherever you're
going, they'll be there too.

POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS

Where do you think you're going?

Well, this is where
I'm supposed to be.

Sorry. This area's closed.
Where are your parents?

They're where they can't
cause any more trouble.

I need -- I need a TAC team out
on Walnut and Layton.

Just get them to me now, okay?

We're getting reports
of various missing persons.

If you recognize any of
the people shown here,

please call your local
police department.

Tonight, we continue
to ask the public

to stay home and remain calm.

With curfew in effect,

the phone lines
at police stations

across the country are
already being overwhelmed.

And now there is
a new development.

We're getting reports
of various missing persons.

If you recognize any
of the people shown here,

please call your local
Police Department.

Tonight, we continue
to ask the public

to stay home and remain calm.

Still waiting on confirmation
from a government official,

but reports are trickling out
that the visitor

used the broadcast to send some
kind of message to its people.

What that message was,
no one seems to know.

But we've learned that...

Hey.

Uh, we could really use
some water.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Drill said
you weren't to be trusted.

Yes, I believe the red-haired
boy belongs to them.

Did something happen to my son?

My son.

- Nobody move!
- Wait! Wait!

- Wes, don't!
- What are you talking about?

- She won't shoot me.
- Either your gun goes down or he does.

- Jessup...
- Wes, don't.

Tam, why are you doing this?

Because when I was a kid,

I believed Drill was here
to help us.

I still do.

What was that?

Sean! You think
this is just about you

and your child?

No, I know -- I know
it's much bigger than that.

Good, then you'll understand
if I have to --

No!

Jessup.

Hey.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

They're all gone.

There was... There was
equipment here, uh, papers.

What about kids?
W-were there any kids here?

No. Just adults.

Ron Harcourt?

I'm sorry. Ron's dead.

I found him at your place.

That was the bureau.
They got Henry.

- What? How?
- I don't know.

But he's safe.

Police brought him in when
they found out who he was.

- And -- and Minx?
- I haven't heard anything. Sorry.

We break in for this live update.

According to a source
inside the Pentagon,

there has indeed been visual
confirmation of the visitors.

So it seems that their arrival
is not a question of if,

but when.

They're here.

- BLUE LIGHTS OVER MAJOR CITIES
- GLOBAL PANIC

- PENTAGON PREPARES FORMAL RESPONSE
- STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY

Sir, we're getting reports

from other cities experiencing
the same blue lights.

Other cities?

New York, London...

...Paris, Bordeaux,
Seville, Marbella...

Tindouf.

How did you know?

Because Drill led me there
to all of them.

Well, what if, I-in all these --

Henry!

Hey. You okay?

Henry?

- Are you okay?
- Does he know where Minx is?

Henry... Where is Minx?

Don't worry.
She's where she needs to be.

Do you know what you're
supposed to do, child?

You don't have to be afraid.

I'm not. We all have a part
to play. This is mine.

And you remember where to go?

Drill made sure
I wouldn't forget.

The President has authorized
the use of extreme measures.

How would you
classify "extreme"?

We're gonna detonate
warheads in space,

enough to generate
an E.M.P. field

in the flight path
of the visitors.

Your associates used
that technique down here

to destroy the rock.

Hopefully we'll have
the same success up there.

A pulse of that magnitude

would take out
our entire security grid.

I'm aware of the risks.

We're out of options.

Maybe not, sir.

Look, let me work on something.
I'll get back to you.

How long do we wait?

We don't.

Initiate the launch.

Ron Harcourt thought
there might be a message

inside the signal?

Yeah, something that would have
been important to Drill.

Okay, and the kids,
they can hear him.

So we don't need Drill
to translate the message.

What we need is...

A child.

Warheads have reached
the outer atmosphere.

Targets are in sight.

Impact imminent.

Henry, can you tell us
what this message is saying?

Henry.

He's still not answering.

It's like he's under
some kind of spell.

3...2... 1. Contact.

Repeat -- contact.

It looks like a direct hit, sir.

What's happening?

It must have worked.

What worked?

The warhead, they -- we did it.

Henry?

Henry, is it over?

Are they gone?

Henry.

Henry.

Can you hear me?

Henry?

Please...

Look at me.

Look at me.
I know you can hear me.

I know you're
in there somewhere.

No matter what happens,

I will always love you.

Always.

To the moon and back.

Henry. Henry.

Look at my hands.
Can you hear me?

Tell me...

What does the message...

In that signal mean?

What's it trying to tell us?

What's he saying?

He's saying...

The message is a question.

"Are the children ready?"

What does that mean?

It means we got it wrong.

They're not here for our planet.

They're here for our children.

If they're here
to take our children,

the question is, where are
they taking them from?

A gathering of 100 kids
shouldn't be too hard to find.

Y-You're assuming that
they're gonna be together.

No. Wait. There was a
map at the compound.

I took a picture of it.

Here. Let me.

Can you tell
what they're marking?

No. I can't blow the image up
any further -- it breaks apart.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait, look.

Count up the marks.
I bet there's one for each kid.

That's where they're headed.
They're waiting there to be --

we need every available
agent now.

I'll call, but it is
a madhouse out there.

Look, I -- I don't care about
monuments or about businesses.

These are our children.

Do you know which one
of those spots is for Minx?

Do you think
you can take us there?

We don't have much time.

There's a few places
marked in these woods,

it's hard to tell exactly
where from the photo.

Okay. We should split up.
Take this.

- I'll call if I see her.
- I will too.

Okay. We'll go this way.
Come on.

Minx!

Minx?!

Minx, it's daddy!

I'm -- I'm here for you, sweetheart!

Minx!

Minx?

Minx?!

Minx?

Minx!

Anything?

No.

Minx!

Minx?!

Sean, wait!

Are you sure?

Keep going.

She's just up ahead.

Over that ridge.

I don't see her!
She's -- she's not over here!

Henry, what are you doing?

I'm sorry, mommy.

Oh, no.

Minx!

Minx?

Sean!

No!

Henry!

- No!
- No!

Dad?

Henry.

What happened?

Where's mommy?

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

In the aftermath
of the aliens' departure...

...blink of an eye,

thousands were taken
by the visitors.

...from the United States, Europe,

and as far away as Africa,

all under the same
circumstances.

Reports of the missing
continue to trickle in.

And while the world mourns,

we're left
with only one question --

where are our children?
