The Whispers (2015): Season 1, Episode 2 - Hide & Seek - full transcript

As John pursues his mission, Claire looks into his identity; Drill keeps playing a dangerous game.

Previously on "The Whispers"...

Who are you talking to?

Drill. He says you're "it. "

- Tell me about this game.
- I'm not supposed to say.

- Who said that?
- My friend Drill.

He speaks through the lights.

He's not here anymore.

- He's looking for a new friend.
- Okay. Now what?

Her dad is with the defense
department, special projects.

He actually got called
to Africa this morning.

What is that thing?



My husband was killed three
months ago in a plane crash.

I have my son.

He got sick. He lost his hearing.

Thank you for fixing me.

It'll be our little secret, Drill.

Jackson Bellings, age 10.

Detonated a homemade
bomb at Westings Designs.

"Under the influence of an
imaginary entity named 'Drill. '"

There was someone across the street.

A- a man watching the building.

- What's your name?
- I don't know.

We found Sean's plane.

Sean's body... it's missing.

Sean Bennigan can no
longer be presumed deceased.



Yeah.

What is it?

You and I, we don't have secrets, right?

Hold on one second.

Coming.

*** SONG LIVES FOR EVER ***

No one.

Must have been...

Never mind.

You were telling me about your friend.

I can't wait to meet him.

Rollins, I need more time.

I'm asking you to hold off
on releasing the sketch,

just for a few hours.

And I'm asking you to explain why.

If you're working on an
angle, I need to know about it.

In case you've forgotten,
that's how partners work.

- I'm not shutting you out.
- You sure about that?

Yes. We need more to go on.

Meet me at Capitol University
Hospital in two hours.

What's at the hospital?

The only person we know
who's talked to Drill.

Hold on a second.

Wes.

Uh, I got in late. I
didn't want to wake you.

I was gonna let you sleep,

but your phone's been
ringing all morning.

I figured it was important.

Nah, it's this desert
situation. I got to go in.

You need to talk to Minx.

She has this new friend.

He's been telling her stuff... about us.

I guess the whole neighborhood knows.

Lena...

I know. You're sorry.

Daddy's home.

So, I can't print it here,
Drill. He'll find out.

Okay, okay.

Think of another way.

Hey, Minx.

Hi, daddy.

Hey, honey. Can you come
over here for a minute?

I want to talk to you.

So, I've been hearing all about your...

your new friend,

and he's been telling you
things about us, right?

And where did he hear these things?

Did his parents tell him or...?

He doesn't have any parents.

Okay, Minx, I...

I want to meet Drill.

But you can't. Grown-ups can't see him.

Okay, so...

We can't see him, but... but kids can?

Some kids, in the lights.
But you have to be chosen.

Okay. You know what?

Let's forget about Drill for now, okay?

So, your mom and I...

I know we haven't been very
nice to each other lately.

You talk in nice voices,
but you don't sound so nice.

I think that's a very
good way to put it.

But I want you to know something.

Just because we don't sound nice,

that doesn't mean we
don't love each other.

But no matter what,

the three of us... we are a family.

Nothing is gonna change that.

Promise?

Double promise.

Did you bring me back
something from Mali?

Did you think I'd forget?

Okay. Now, where would I have put it?

That one.

Wrong.

Okay.

It goes, uh, right... here.

Right there. Good girl.

Where is he? Where is he, Wes?

Have you lost your mind?
If Lena saw us here...

- I have been calling all morning.
- Hey, we cannot do this here.

No, no! You hear me?! You don't do that!

It's been... it's been
crazy. I just got back, okay?

Calm down.

Sorry.

Just...

Just tell me, is he alive?

- I don't know.
- What do you mean, you don't know?

We found his plane
thousands of miles away

from where he was supposed
to have disappeared.

There's evidence someone walked
away from that crash, claire,

But whether it was Sean...

There's something you need to see.

This man was... was
seen here a month ago...

Just outside westings industrial
designs moments before the bombing.

I- I don't understand. This is Sean.

Yeah, I know. Maybe.

But if it is...

If it's Sean and he survived

and he's here, why didn't he come home?

You have to understand,

I shouldn't have even told
you what I saw in the desert.

He's my husband.

Who has now been deemed a
national-security threat.

Do you know what that means?

I can't talk to you or it's treason.

Come on, Wes.

Since when have you been
worried about breaking the rules?

Since I broke too many of them.

Okay, look, she's...

She's giving me a second chance, okay?

I know.

But...

My second chance

died for me the day
Sean's plane went down.

And now... Wes, if this is true...

I have to find him.

Mommy's not sleeping, is she?

Daddy says mommy's body's here,

but her spirit's somewhere else.

He says you're trying to find it.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Daddy thinks I don't know, but I do.

Mommy's dying, isn't she?

Your mom is fighting, Harper,

And I promise we're
doing everything we can.

You won't be able to help her.

That's what my friend said.

Why would your friend say that?

Because he said he's
the only one who can.

Clearly this guy is Drill.

It's like you said. He's convincing
the children he's not real.

He's getting them to do stuff.

All Ms. Bellings said
was that she saw this man

before the bombing, but can't
prove a direct connection.

Which is exactly why we
need to send the sketch out

and see what hits we get
from the other bureau offices.

Someone may know him.

You're right. Someone may know him.

That's why we're here.

Harper, you see this man?

Is this Drill?

Harper.

Answer the question, okay?

I can't. I'm not supposed to.

Why? Did drill say that to you?

I know you think that
Drill is your friend.

But, Harper, listen to me.
Drill is not your friend.

- He's dangerous.
- That's not true.

He said he's going to make mommy better.

No, he's... he's trying to trick you.

He's not.

He said you were gonna confuse
me, and that's what you do.

This is enough. We are
not playing a game here.

But it is a game.

It's the most important game
of all, and I have to win.

Please don't make me
lose. I want my mommy back.

I know.

I know. It's okay, Harper.

I won't make you lose.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

Could you... uh, would you
mind helping us for a second?

Sure.

Harper, hey, did Drill tell you

that you couldn't talk to a doctor?

Then you can tell her
about this man, right?

She's not playing the game.

I think so.

Okay.

Whisper into her ear so
that I can't hear you.

Okay, Harper?

I don't think this is right.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Is that the man you're looking for?

Yes.

Why? Do you know him?

He was my patient last night.

Wait. This man was here?

Yes. But he ran away.

Captain Bennigan.

The night he disappeared,

he wasn't on just a surveillance run.

That was his cover.

I didn't realize he flew secret ops.

He was sent out to test a new weapon

we've had in development
for the last six years.

It was just before Captain Bennigan

was about to launch the initial test,

He disengaged his transponder.

We lost contact with him.

Couldn't find him on radar.

But that's not possible.

You can't disengage a
transponder on an F-22.

Which means Sean Bennigan had help.

It also explains how he got
from the Arctic to the Sahara.

He fueled up somewhere.

He took the plane to the
desert, tested the weapon there.

But something went wrong.

And Captain Bennigan?

Apparently, he survived.

No, I-I just don't see

how someone could walk away from that.

That's what you're gonna find out.

Find out what happened that night,

and find out who Sean
Bennigan is/was working for.

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

I want two teams on this.

Alpha, focus on the desert.

I want our own scientists out there.

I want to know if an accidental
or a planned discharge

from our weapon could have caused this.

Check all Keyhole satellite
footage of the area.

Check with Africom.

Someone somewhere saw something.

Find it.

Bravo, work on the assumption
Captain Bennigan did survive.

If so, a possible last sighting
could have taken place here...

Westings Industrial Designs.

Now, whether he's
connected to the bombing...

that's what we need to find out.

Where is he? What does he want?

Sir, it says here in
Captain Bennigan's file

that his family currently
resides in Baltimore.

He could have made contact.

I already spoke with his wife.
She hasn't heard from him.

Still might help to put
a tail on her and the kid.

Never know. The guy could come around.

It's your move. Maybe
you'll get lucky,Tania.

Okay.

Oh, no! Dog ate your homework!

Move back two spaces.

You aced the test.

Move to the head of the class.

I win.

You always win. It's not fair.

Then let's play a game you can win.

Okay. Which one?

What's that?

It's a new game, a secret game.

Hardly anyone knows it.

How do you play?

Print out the file on the drive.

The most important thing
about winning the game

is that you can't show anyone.

Then you automatically lose.

This doesn't sound like a very fun game.

But it is.

If you win, my friend
will show you magic.

What kind of magic?

Okay, I'll give you a sneak peek.

But I'm not supposed to,
so don't tell anyone, okay?

Drill?

Hello, Tania.

Would you like to be my friend?

How did you do that?

I told you, it's magic.

So, are you gonna play or what?

He doesn't remember
anything no family, no home.

All he knew was the last three months.

Everything prior to that was gone.

And did he give
you any - any hints

About where he might
have been, anyone he knew?

No.

I get the feeling he didn't have anyone.

There was one thing.

Um, when he was unconscious,
he was talking in Arabic,

And he said something very strange.

He said, "They're
searching for the lights. "

Any idea what that means?

Sorry.

How did he look?

It hasn't been easy
for him. That was clear.

Also, he had all these tattoos.

What kind of tattoos?

They were all very different.

There was one here that
looked like a tree house -

You know, the ones kids play in?

Tree house? You sure?

Yes.

This is our guy.

What did he do?

- He's just a person of interest on a case.
- Two cases.

What about your security cameras?

Security room's in the fourth floor.

I'm sure they've
already pulled the tapes

In light of the attack last night.

What attack?

Stop.

This guy is trained.

Possibly military.

We should get the sketch
to the various services,

See if we get a hit.

Agent Bennigan.

What aren't you telling me?

Now, you've been holding
up protocol on the sketch

Ever since you saw it, and now...

You know who he is.

I can't believe this. Who is he?

- Jessup.
- Who is he?

I think it might be my husband.

Your husband?

- No, but I thought -
- That's what I thought.

That's what everyone thought. But...

Last night, they found his plane.

They didn't find his body.

But that doesn't
mean that this -

The man in that
sketch, Jessup -

That looks exactly like Sean.

But... that man that
Dr. Benavidez described,

That's... that's not Sean.

He doesn't speak Arabic.
He doesn't have tattoos.

He wouldn't just attack
someone. That's not him.

But if you believe that,

Then you would have released
the sketch, and you didn't.

- I needed more time. Time?

Time like you just gave to this guy

Who's now running loose on the streets?

Doctor?

Dr. Benavidez!

If he happens to come back, I
need you to call me right away.

Don't call the cops.

He needs help.

I hope you find him.

Yes, hello. I have an
appointment with dr. Benavidez.

I'm running a bit late.

Do you think you could tell me
what time she's on duty till?

6:00 p. M.

Um, I'm gonna have to reschedule.

Thank you so much.

Sir, you have to see this.

What do we have?

Over Africa, the satellite
feeds have caught something.

We only have the last few
seconds of the crash, but look.

Is this the aftermath
of the weapon launch?

That's what I initially thought,

But when I examined the radial
direction of the explosion,

It doesn't match the
signature of a weapon drop.

So what?

I don't have that yet.

But look at the rest of the photos.

The satellite is programmed to
take a frame every 40 seconds.

Here's the series.

Wait. What...

What's that?

The fulgurite.

Is it moving?

It's not the fulgurite.

Lena, I can't talk right now, okay?

What's wrong? What happened?

What's going on here?

Wes.

I had to let them in.
They had a warrant.

Hey, what are they telling you?

Something about accessing
restricted files.

I- I don't know.

All right, I'll figure this out.

Take Minx and go over to Callie's.

I'm not leaving you here.

Okay, I'll - I'll
take care of this.

Alex, what the hell is this about?

Last night, 10:24 p. M.,

Your D.O.D. Server was accessed.

Restricted files were
downloaded against protocol.

That doesn't make sense.
I wasn't even here.

I was out of the country.

Which is why we're taking your
computer to figure out who.

You have a guess on that?

I can't believe you're
really accusing me of this.

Then who, Lena? Who did this?

I don't know!

But the fact that you could
even think it was me -

My god, we're in worse
shape than I thought.

Instead of going at each other,

Maybe we should try and figure out

How someone got into our home.

You think I was spying on you,

checking to see if you e-mailed
her from your work computer.

I- I-I was wrong,
okay? I'm sorry.

Well, are you?

Am I what?

Are you talking to her?

Oh, you really want to do this now

With the feds crawling
all over this place?

Oh, come on, Wes. They
probably already know.

I mean, the
two of you -

How discreet were you
really at the office?

If I could go back and
change things, I would.

But I can't.

But if there is something
that I-I-I can do,

Then -
then tell me.

I will do it.

I want all of this to stop.

I want the FBI to not be in our home

And look at us like we're terrorists.

I want our daughter to stop
talking to an imaginary friend

Who makes her feel like crap.

And I want so badly to stop hating you.

But the truth is, ever
since you were with her,

ever since it happened,
everything has gone wrong.

So you know what I want you to do, Wes?

I want you to fix it.

Stop it!

Stop fighting.

Oh, Minx,
uh, honey -

It was me.

I'm the one who went
into daddy's computer.

You're supposed to be yelling at me.

Mom, uh, is Henry with you?

Okay, do me a favor.
Just keep him inside.

No, nothing.

Just keep a close eye on
him. I'll explain later.

Mom, hold on a second.

Dr. Benavidez, you okay?

No. My wallet and my keys.

I- I'm sure they were here
when I started my shift,

But I-I can't find them now.

I'll - I'll check
with security.

Mom - mom, I
know. I got to go.

Keep an eye on Henry for me.

You want me to believe that
your 8-year-old daughter

accessed top-secret defense files.

The truth, Alex. Look,
I- I know it's bad.

We're dealing with it. I'm
asking you to understand.

You mean you're asking me to let it go.

You don't have a case.

Go through with this.
You'll see how it turns out.

And, trust me, it doesn't come
out looking good for you guys.

Look at you. Big job at defense.

You're making this personal.

You never liked me.
That was always clear.

Because guys like you,

you're always looking for that climb.

I was a good agent, Alex.

But that wasn't good enough for you.

Well, I wasn't after your job,
if that's what you thought.

I wasn't worried about
you taking my job.

Then what?

You knew how shaky things
were at home for her.

We all did.

But not all of us took advantage of it.

You think I took advantage of Claire.

You were her superior, Wes.

You have no idea what she and I had.

I'm not talking to you
about this in my house.

Get out now.

I think we have everything we need.

Our forensics team will
go through that computer.

Yeah, you go through that computer.

Jessup, what's the situation?

W- wait a minute. What
are you telling me?

Sir, we have an update on the
tail on the Captain's wife.

Okay, what do you have?

She just arrived at the
home of Dr. Maria Benavidez,

and she went in armed.

Okay, I'm - I'm
- I'm on my way.

Do not approach until I get there.

I'm about a block away.

Wait, wait.
I- I-I see her.

Claire!

Watch out!

Watch it!

Claire?

Claire.

Did you see him?

I don't know.

W- what do you
mean? W-was it Sean?

I...

I never got a good look at him.

Right now my family needs me, sir.

We don't know.

The doctors don't have a timeline.

We're taking it day by day.

Yes.

I realize it will take a few
days to get a replacement.

Mommy?

Mommy?

You said you were gonna help me.

You promised.

Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!

Okay, what do I do next?

Oh, no. Come with me.

Boys and girls, do you
think you can help Teddy

Find his way home?

Use the map!

A map, you say?

Teddy, what you need is a map.

Map, map, map, map, map.

Where is it?

Henry, who's here?

Who's talking?

I heard someone.

You should be in bed, okay?

I'm sorry, Drill.

I know it's supposed to be a secret.

What do you got?

Still no hits on Captain Bennigan.

We've run through all the
facial-recognition systems.

So far, nothing.

What about her?

She's gone back to the
house he was squatting in.

You want us to bring her in?

No. That won't be necessary.

We have what we need.

Thank you, Drill.

I don't want to be home anymore.

What kind of game did you say this was?

A maze?

Where does it lead to?

Oh, I see.

Yeah, no, I just - I
just got the car started.

No, it's all good. Thank you.

Okay, thank you very
much. Thank you. Bye.

There's something I need
to do. You're gonna help me.
