Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 6 - Proof of Concept - full transcript

Zeyara Lemos
is not who she appears.

She is the architect
of this entire operation.

We need to expedite
the shipment. The border.

Get the packages over.

What the fuck is going on?

We're under attack.

Guess who's riding shotgun.

I got her, my friend.

Your donor... the shell
companies.

They're his.

The data that you want?



All of it is with
my wife and daughter.

We're leaving now.

We destroyed
all the triggers,

but those original
five packages,

they still got out.

We'll now have order.

Congratulations,
Elizabeth Wright,

you're the new director of
the Central Intelligence Agency.

Congratulations,
Director.

Hello, Dr. Ryan.

They got Jack.

They took him alive
for a reason.

Ooh. Ooh.

- How do you feel?
- Oh. Bad.

We got to get moving.

Yeah. Where?

Over that ridge.

There's a fishing village
about two klicks north.

Pick up transportation
and supplies there.

Fire up the satnav.

- I think I know where they took him.
- Where?

Same place I picked up Cathy.

Must feel good
to be back on campus.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Oh, cut the bullshit.

Lieutenant William Tuttle.

CIA.

'82 to '09.

Before that,
Army Ranger of the 75th.

Now, that shit impressed me

because those
are some bad motherfuckers.

- Glad to of service.
- Yeah.

Makes me feel better
about that right cross

I landed on your ass
on that bridge.

Chalk one up for the Navy.

You know,

to be honest,

I'm surprised that
we've never crossed paths.

Shit, you've been everywhere,
just like me.

Tehran, Beirut.

Karachi.

I heard about what happened.

Poor bastard.

How'd it feel to be the one
getting stabbed this time?

Oh, I'm healing up just fine.

What I want to know is

what are we gonna find
on those hard drives of yours?

Well, considering they're blank,
not much.

There's a reason

we didn't let
the police take you.

Look around.

There's no Miranda rights
in here.

So, what happens next
is entirely up to you.

What would you like to know?

Where the fuck is Jack?

You know, it's funny, I did
a lot of research into that one.

Miller, he really had
a bug up his ass for him.

He's a wily one.

I saw him get black bagged
on your computer screen.

Where the fuck is Jack?

You know where the bombs are.

- Oh, that depends.
- On what?

What time it is.

They're on the move?

Cathy?

They don't have anything.

- Goddamn it.
- I asked them for

any information they might have.

Code names, passwords, anything.

They didn't even know
what I was talking about.

I understand.

What about Jack... what'd he say?

James?

They have him, Cathy.

Cathy?

Stay with us, Dr. Ryan.

You don't want
to go blacking out.

There's no telling what they'll
do to you to wake you back up.

Tell me what Chao Fah gave you.

He didn't give me anything.

Well, you got his family out,

surely he held up
his end of the bargain.

What did he tell you
and who else knows?

We didn't really get a chance
to know each other

before you killed him.

Aah!

There are four triggers
still out there.

You tried to stop them.

Surely he told you
how they work.

He told...

he told me they were
going to America.

The first round is, yes.

A process your interference
has already expedited.

But you know it's not really
about the bombs.

What was it about?

Proof of concept.

Your country's vulnerable.

It always has been.

Someone just had to reveal that

to the rest of the world.

Tell me what you know.

I know you'll never
get away with it.

How much is this?

One hundred baht.

What?

Next you're gonna say
the speargun's a million.

- Speargun?
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna go get some gas.
- For what?

That.

I'll be honest,

we'll be lucky
if we don't burst into flames

before we make it out
of the harbor.

Not we.

- You think you're funny?
- No.

Your shoulder's packed
straight through

with banana leaves
that I found in the jungle.

It's gonna get infected.

- That's perfect.
- I need you to find us a plane.

How the hell am I gonna
find an airplane?

Don Muang Air Force Base
is about 100 miles north.

Oh, so I'll just walk in and ask

the Thai Air Force
for an airplane?

No, not you. Somsak.

You leave me alone with Somsak,

he will murder me
and steal my money.

Yeah, but if he doesn't,
you can come get me and Jack.

Director, he's here.

Send him in.

Congratulations,
Director Wright.

Why, thank you, Ade.

You know, I don't think it
could've happened without you.

Well, I appreciate that,
Director.

Yeah, and that's
what concerns me.

Let me put those
in some water for you.

Friend of yours?

We know about Dominic Sanderson.

We know you have been using

his comatose body like a freeway
for shell companies.

In that circumstance,

the only thing
that I'm guilty of is charity.

I saw a boy in need,

like I once one was myself,

so I reached out.

So you're saying it's just
coincidence that Miller chose

those companies to fund
his black ops programs?

Any interactions
I may or may not have had

with former Director Miller
are highly classified.

Perhaps above your pay grade.

Gosh. Smart answers, Ade.

But, given the smoke
billowing around them,

you must know that
it's only a matter of time.

You're a formidable force,
Elizabeth,

and I will never
underestimate you, therefore,

- I'm willing to make a deal.
- A deal?

- Yes.
- What deal?

Immunity.

Fuck you. In exchange for what?

The location of Jack Ryan.

What?

I suggest you play these next

few seconds very carefully.

I agree.

All I'm doing
is protecting myself.

You know I can't
grant you immunity. That's DOJ.

Then you need to get on the
phone with the attorney general.

Tell him,
in the interest of time,

you're going to ask the NSD

to enter into
an immunity agreement with me.

And as soon
as I sign the papers,

I will give you Jack Ryan.

Someone will escort you
to the conference room.

We can't do that, Elizabeth.

If you make that call,
Jack will never forgive us.

I'm starting
to understand, James.

- What?
- Our tactics need to change.

And we need the best minds
to change them.

Also, I'm the director of
the Central Intelligence Agency,

so I don't give a shit what
Jack says about my decision.

As long as he's here to say it.

I'd like to check on her,

make sure she's okay.

Is that all right with you?

Yeah. Sure.

Hi.

I'm just gonna

make sure that nothing hurts,

okay?

You know, your English
is really good.

My father taught me.

I heard that he was a...
a wonderful man.

He is.

- Did he give that to you?
- Yes.

- What's his name?
- Mun.

Mun.

Hi, Mun.

- Oh, he can't talk.
- He can't?

His voice doesn't work.

That's why he gave him to me,

so he wouldn't
tell anyone my secrets.

I see.

You know I'm a doctor, right?

And I fix people all the time.

If you want,
I could take a look at Mun.

Maybe I could fix him, too.

I know exactly what to do.

Greer.

It's a flash drive.

Where did you find it?

Inside the girl's
stuffed animal.

Son of a bitch.

Cathy, thank you. You have
no idea what you've just done.

Yes, I do.

There we go.

Slow down.

Hey.

Slow down or they're
gonna shoot you.

Somsak, do you speak English?

Jesus Christ.

Hey. Can I use your phone?

I did warn you
not to pass out, Dr. Ryan.

It makes people change tactics.

I see you've done this before.

Talk to me, don't talk to me.

You know the infrastructure's
still in place.

But still unproven.

We derail your test...

and all your buyers fade away.

Yeah, the buyers fade away.

And those you love die.

Tell me who else knows.

Tell me what you know.

It only gets worse, Jack.

Because the water

doesn't hurt half as much
as the salt.

Sit down.

Interesting developments.

Looks to me...

...like that's the whole
fucking game, right there.

We were just having a little
trouble with the language.

That's where you come in.

Saw the same bullshit codes

in the files we took
out of your house.

So, why don't you reach into
that Cracker Jack box of yours

and pull out
the fucking decoder ring.

What are you offering?

- Oh, I'm all out of offers.
- Oh.

Then you must be
working for Ade.

Something I admire
about the man.

When I track a target, I...

I try to understand
their center,

the point from which
they operate.

He doesn't seem to have one.

You just admitted
to working with him.

We really don't have time
for this, do we?

People's lives are at risk.

- You know where the bombs are?
- No.

But looks like you do.

All you need is the key.

Hey, there.

I was wondering if I could
borrow one of your planes.

You can charge me.

Just put it on the company card.

Give me a gun.

Go.

Who's here?

A friend.

Is that you, Mr. Chavez?

You know, it's funny,
after all this time,

we've never
actually met face-to-face.

And, sadly, we never will,
because the moment I see you,

Jack dies.

But it's only right
that you're compensated

for all your hard work, so...

turn around. Disappear.

And I'll find the families
of your fallen men...

...and fill their bank accounts.

Do the opposite, and

I'll simply find their families.

You mentioned my friends.

Tell me...

what are their names?

Their names?

The names of my men.

The ones that you killed.

Just say one.

And I'll let you go.

Chavez...

Hey.

Greer.

Hey, buddy.

Think I got us a ride home.

Tell me you've got him.

Yeah. We got him.

Oh...

Sir.

They've got Jack.

Congratulations.

Director,

I heard that our hero
has come home.

Hero?

I'll be sure to let him know.

What a difference a day makes.

Indeed it does.

It sounds like quite the story.

One the committee is certainly

looking forward
to hearing all about.

After he's had time
to recover, of course.

- Of course.
- Well,

I just wanted
to call and deliver

my heartfelt congratulations.

Thank you, Senator.

Jesus. You did all this?

You dig up the whole operation?

No... Yes.

Shit, Jack, I think
you just became obsolete.

Nice work.

Thanks.

Here's Bill's OTP.

Latter-day Saints.

- His what?
- One-time pad.

Any time you send data,
the receiver

also gets a corresponding page
in their OTP.

That's how they decipher
the message.

So if you don't have the right
book or the right edition...

It's nearly impossible to break.

Shit.

Miller had that

on his desk
the night he was killed.

I think he was trying
to give it to me.

Well, that is our Rosetta stone
for Chao Fah's data.

You were right, door-to-door.

Myanmar to Mexico.

Wait a minute.

- Through where?
- Lagos.

They didn't kill the president
to defend a regime.

They did it to defend a port.

I think it's time
we met your friend.

Meet Bill Tuttle.

I see you made it to Myanmar.

Good trip?

Successful.

And yet, here you are.

- And here you are.
- Mm.

He knows about all the charges?

Oh, he knows.
You're never getting out.

Okay, good.

So why don't you just tell us
where they're sending the bombs.

Okay, let me cut to the end
of this story for you.

I don't know.

The last step was always
Ade's department.

Well, they know how to contact
you, so how do they do that?

Good old-fashioned snail mail.
Keeps the hard drives clean.

What did they send you
this time?

- Nothing yet.
- What do you mean, nothing yet?

They expedited the delivery,

they have to have sent
something.

They expedited?

You didn't know?

Of course I didn't know.
I've been stuck in here.

Where do they send
the packages, Bill?

Well, if what you say is true,
it's already too late.

Bill, where do they send
the packages?

Why don't you ask your
Hardy Boy here?

No, fuck that.

That shit blow up,
that's on you.

- Car keys?
- Uh-huh.

Now you know how
they're moving them.

The trucks.

What trucks?

In Mexico, at the port,

they were unloading trucks.

The ones they were
shipping drugs in?

No.

The ones we thought
they were shipping drugs in.

Hello? This is Derek.

Yeah, this is
Bill Walters.

I was calling about five Tacomas
I had ordered.

Well, heck yeah.

I been trying to get in touch
with you, Bill Walters.

Are they there now?

Uh, no, no.

Uh, but hang on.

Cool your boots, okay?
They're on the way.

- When do you expect them in?
- Well,

computer says they should be
at the border tomorrow morning.

But you know
how things are down...

Let's go.

H-Hello?

Where we going?

To the border.

Thank you.

We got everything you need.

License plate scanners, X-ray,
undercarriage cameras.

Cruisers and agents
at every chokepoint.

This is Jack Ryan.
Gonna be calling the shots.

Looking for Toyotas.

Five Toyotas, new.

They just left Progreso Pier
in Mexico.

They were registered through
Derek Hill Motors in Houston.

Get me all registered Texas.

They won't be traveling alone.

They'll have spotters on both
sides of their trailer,

- heavily armed.
- It's Wright.

We're here.

Jack, what do you got?

Well, I'm working on it.

Great, we're holding.

Freeze that.

Zoom in. What kind of cars
are on that carrier?

Uh, looks like a mix.

Some Toyotas.

Flag it.

Yeah, Central, this is
47 Patrol. Car approaching.

- Stand by.
- It's on the scales.

What do we got?

It's well under
one percent registered.

Not a red flag.

Wait, wait, wait.
Registered how?

All carrier information.
Origin, destination and weight.

- Actual combined with payload.
- Show me.

Pull it up.

It's clean.

But we got eyes
on another carrier.

We're approaching now.

Fuck.

Bring it up on the screen.

God.

How do we get these people
out of there?

All right.

Give me the registration
information.

We need pre-load weight.

- I don't see the pre-load.
- What do you mean?

It should be weighed
at the border.

- Is that standard?
- Not standard,

but possible with later,
last-minute shipments.

Last-minute shipments?
How is that even allowed?

And that has to be signed off
by people way higher than me.

Wright, are you still on?

Yeah, we're here.

I'm sending you a list

of all last-minute shipments
at the border.

Run it for me.

Confirmed.
Toyota payload.

Plate.

9267MGR.

Holy shit.

Wright, I need the weight,
both pre and post.

- I need the differential.
- Yeah, we're on it.

Approach that carrier
with extreme caution.

- That cruiser... does it have body cams?
- Yeah.

- Pull it up.
- Come on, pull it up.

There it is.

Wright? Anything?

The differential is 643 pounds.

Tell your men to back off.

Patrol car six, get out
of there right now.

Patrol car six,
do you hear me?

Oh, shit.

Fuck!

Shit.

Jack?

Jack?

Shit.

Stop right there!

Get these people
out of here!

Clear.

Go, go, go!

Let's go.

Ready.

Jack.

Contact, right.

If this has already hit
the news, they're out of time.

Director.

You should see this.

Shit.

- Code black.
- Code black.

Code black.

All right.

Everybody get in a car.

What are we looking for?

Not looking. Listening.

Like an old-fashioned
distress signal.

Connecting.

- You are connected.
- It's me!

Shit.

It's underneath.

Jesus.

By now they know
these didn't get through.

We don't have time to wait.

All right.

Four more. Let's move.

So, I believe
we are in accord.

It happens tonight.

And I'll take care of you.

I've been doing this
for a very long time.

Excuse me.

Well... I can't decide

if this is coincidence or fate.

Long day. Nothing more.

Look, um...

Whatever assumptions
you have about me,

none of this is personal.

I care about you and that part
has always been real.

To realism.

Remind me, which version of you
should I thank?

Your mind, your resolve...
it's exquisite.

You have the opportunity
to do something unparalleled,

you just have to understand
the world that we live in.

So let me help you.

Today's society is just one
big ocean of indifference.

Controlled by corporate
interests that swim freely

in autocratic waters.

Gone are the days of

heroes and villains.

If you hope to stop
the Zeyaras of this world,

you have to learn what justice
actually looks like today.

Not what you hope it can be.

Amen.

- That's quite the sermon.
- Yes.

Speaking of, what kind of
missionaries did you say,

uh, restored your village?

Mormons.

Mormons, right.

Found that on Miller's desk.

We find the choice of book use
for one-time pads

is always personal.

And Miller wasn't Mormon.

There's just one thing
I can't understand.

Why kill him when
he was ready to run?

Why risk that exposure?

Miller was right to get out,
but it wasn't smart.

I knew that he wouldn't ever
be able to fully cut and run.

You know I have immunity.

To all matters of the CIA, yes,

but I have no jurisdiction over
local homicide investigations.

You know the lawyers with drown
any charges in appeals,

and by the time the court
offers me a plea deal,

it'll be beaten down
into a toothless charge.

I'll be out in 18 months.

Elizabeth, this...

You're smarter than this.

This isn't how you make change.

There are others
out there like me

and they are not
trying to do good and

they don't care about you.

Are you gonna arrest
all of them?

One by one.

Without compromise.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be used against you

in a court of law.

Could you please stand
and raise your right hand?

You swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

- I do.
- Please be seated.

Well, Dr. Ryan,

it's quite an eventful week.

It was only a few days ago

we swore in a new director
of the CIA.

And here we are today already
dealing with the agency's

first world news story.

Now, as much as I share
in the country's relief

at the neutralizing
of this unprecedented threat...

...I also feel that
the American people

deserve answers

as to the details
of how we got here.

I agree.

I'm glad to hear it.

Members of this...

honorable committee, I, uh...

not so long ago stood in front
of you

and I promised to eliminate

any compromised operations
that were left behind

by our predecessors.

I also said that
this agency could not

and should not survive

if it were ever to serve
any other interests

other than those
of the American people.

But I admit
I had ulterior motives.

My real goal...

however naive, was to prove
to those American people

that our system of government
as a whole...

...could once again be trusted.

I failed.

That harsh realization
came to me

in the exact moment that my team
was risking their lives

to seize and disarm

five biochemical weapons
that had made their way

into our very own backyard.

In that moment,
it became very clear

that, as you said, sir,
"how we got here"...

well, it could no longer
solely be attributed

to outside forces.

Dr. Ryan, I'm sorry, I'm...

I'm just not sure
that we follow.

- Uh, to-to what end?
- Senator, you began today by saying

that this country is under
an unprecedented threat.

Well, I believe you're right.

But ironically,
it was Zeyara Lemos,

the now-deceased architect
of the strike,

who, in her delusion,

was actually the one to reveal
the true nature of that threat.

And it was not the plan
that she attempted to pull off.

It was the very real weakness

within our own system

that gave her the confidence

to attempt this at all.

Dr. Ryan, this fails
to answer my question.

Once again, you have broken
protocols to avert a strike.

You're absolutely right.

I did not follow protocols.

My team and I acted on instinct.

And tried to stop the perceived
threat by any means necessary.

Our actions in Croatia

Forced Zeyara Lemos to expedite

an endgame that
had long been in motion.

And endgame I imagine

was meticulously planned
and prepared for.

An endgame that, if disrupted,

could lead to mistakes.

Dr. Ryan, what kind of mistakes?

Little ones, Senator.

For instance, I had no idea that
every single vehicle carrier

that comes across our border
into the United States

needs to be pre-registered.

Pre-weighed. Pre-approved.

I'm sure Senator Henshaw
knew that,

being the senator
from the great state of Texas.

Of course.

And then he would
also know that

the only way
to expedite any shipment

of any kind into this country...

...well, that would take

a direct authorization...

...from someone
only in the highest levels

- of our government.
- Dr. Ryan, I fail

- to see your point.
- My point is, Senator,

it's taken me a long time.

But I finally realize
that no matter how hard I try,

no matter how many
protocols I break,

I will never have the real power
in this government.

Not like the power
you have, sir.

The power to sign a document
just like this.

Is that your signature,
Senator Henshaw?

- I have no idea what you're...
- Because if it is,

I hold here evidence
of Senator Henshaw's complicity

- in the attempted strike.
- How dare you?

Bribes orchestrated
by Adebayo Osoji,

who is currently in custody,

in return for
large-scale donations

to Senator Henshaw's
reelection campaign.

- Dr. Ryan, I demand a retraction.
- No, sir,

your ability to demand anything
just vanished.

Because you...

you are the weakness

that Ms. Lemos
was talking about.

And I pray to God

that you were ignorant
to her greater ambition.

To the five cities and countless
lives that you put at risk.

But if you were...

it was your greed
that made you blind.

And when it comes to the safety
of the American people,

I believe

that blindness
of that magnitude...

...is as good
as pulling the trigger.

Dr. Ryan, you listen to me...

No, sir, you listen.

That is the sound
of your country

telling you it deserves better.

Dr. Ryan, you will be seated.

You will not walk
out of this room!

This hearing is not over,
Dr. Ryan! Yeah!

Well...

now you've really done it.

Think the words
you're looking for are...

"job well done."

You know he's gonna
ask you to run, right?

Who?

- The president.
- For what?

For office.

Not a chance in hell.

I don't know, man. It's pretty
impressive in person.

Have you never been here?

Don't ruin the moment.

Well, now that
you've burned the place down,

should we get back
to work, professor?

Work?

I quit, remember?

I think it's time
I took a break.

Break? What kind of defeatist
shit is that?

Well, you heard the committee.

- I'm a liability.
- How long of a break?

Don't be jealous.

Hey, Jack.

I'll see you around campus.

Hell of a team photo.
