Previously on Persons Unknown.

One of you

will be checking out.

[ Tori ] The taxi.

I saw one from my window.

[ Speaking Arabic ]

- You're taking me?

Why me?

- So where you taking us?

Janet Cooper was my wife.

- You're a monster.

- No, I'm just a businessman.

I need you to deliver a message

to him. I want to leave,

just like Joe and Janet did.

[ Sighs ]

I can't help you

get out of here.

- [ Grunting ]

- [ Janet ]

Just feels like surrender.

I need to know

the plans for Janet.

[ Tori ]

Thank you, Daddy.

Are you threatening withdrawal?

Yes or no, Joe?

[ Tommy's Voice ]

"There's a wolf in me.

"Fangs pointed

for tearing gashes.

"A red tongue for raw meat

and the hot lapping of blood.

"I keep this wolf because

the wilderness gave it to me.

And the wilderness

will not let it go."

[ Chuckles ]

"There is a baboon in me.

"Clambering-clawed, dog-faced,

yawping a galoot's hunger.

O, I got a zoo,

I got a menagerie,

inside my"--

What the--

Joe, where are you?

[ Joe ]

"For I am

the keeper of the zoo.

"I say yes and no.

I sing and kill

and love and work."

You shouldn't be down here.

Is this how you get off, Tom?

Watching us sleep while you

recite Carl Sandburg poetry?

Hey, I'm just doing my job.

Just like you should

be doing your job.

Do you like your job?

Watching?

Monitoring.

Just like someone else

is monitoring us right now.

What has got your knickers

in such a twist...

that you would go and break

protocol for the second time

in less than two days...

and bust my hump

about following orders?

- You know what's bothering me?

- The woman?

There's no place for that here,

my friend. There just isn't.

- I thought

you understood that.

- Yeah. So did I.

There's something about her.

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

I mean, haven't you

ever had feelings--

Don't--

Don't complete that sentence,

so I don't have to red card you.

You'd do that?

I would.

Go. You'd better

get back up there.

Go.

I like you, Joe.

Try not to do anything stupid.

I'll try.

[ Elevator Dings ]

Morning.

Hey.

You're up early.

Yeah. I, uh--

I just went for a walk.

Couldn't sleep.

I know. I haven't slept

since we got here except

that one night in the cabin.

Are you coming

to breakfast?

I just need to clean up.

Then, yeah.

Meet you there?

Okay.

Okay. See ya.

Hey, have you guys

seen Tori?

She's probably at breakfast.

No. We were supposed to

go down together.

I just went to her room

to wake her up

and nothing is there.

What do you mean "nothing"?

It means it's been

swept clean, sanitized.

No sign anyone

was ever in that room.

[ Elevator Dings ]

We should do

a sweep of the town.

Yeah, agreed.

Aren't we overreacting a little?

I mean, she might've just

gotten up early and--

Okay, maybe not Tori.

But I think it's

a reach to think...

she just disappeared

from the town.

Maybe it's not such a reach.

Maybe Tori was right. Maybe

her father was keeping her here

to teach her some lesson.

Well, if that's true,

then there's hope for all of--

Oh, my God. Tori.

[ Joe ]

Who is this?

What the hell?

[ Moira ]

Oh, my God.

She's got a pulse.

She's alive.

Where's Tori?

- Get me a blanket, quick.

- Yes, ma'am.

[ Dings ]

Hurry up.

Here, here.

Come on.

- She's barely breathing.

- [ Joe ] Really?

[ Elevator Dings ]

[ Bill ] Somebody partied

a little too hearty last night.

[ Chuckles ]

Who the hell is that?

- Her name, you think?

- Could be.

Yep.

Has the look

of a prison tat.

Hey, guys. Hold on.

I asked you a question.

Who is this woman?

- Well, it's not Tori.

- Well, duh. Of course

it's not Tori. Look at her.

Wait, wait, wait.

What happened to Tori?

We don't know.

- Her room was empty.

No sight of her.

- She got out?

We hope so.

What do you think that means?

[ McNair ]

Webs signify a lot of things.

That you're trapped somewhere

like prison or you--

- Killed somebody.

- Well, that's great.

We've traded a crazy party girl

for a tatted junky jailbird.

Nope.

She was in the hospital. Look.

These needle marks are all

from the same day, brand-new

and medically administered.

Yeah, so says you.

- Well, I need a cup of coffee.

- Why don't you go get one?

I think I will. Yeah.

You know, fortunately

Hap Sing and his merry band

of Chinamen make a decent cup.

So good luck with

the tatty-tat girl.

Good morning,

Mr. Blackham.

How did we sleep last night?

[ Joe ]

Let's take her upstairs.

[ Janet ] Ready? My room.

[ McNair ]

Watch her head.

- What the hell happened now?

- [ Elevator Dings ]

Why is that woman

wearing Tori's clothes?

Where's Tori?

[ Speaking Italian ]

[ Italian ]

Whew.

- You've really added to that.

- Yeah. I got a lot more to go.

My head's working

faster than my hand.

"Tori gone."

Good thing or bad thing?

Good question.

I want to think that she's back

in Rome with a glass of Barolo.

I hope so too.

But you don't think so.

We can't be certain of anything.

It's been more than two weeks.

And we're no closer

to knowing why we're here

than the day we arrived.

You know that

Agatha Christie mystery,

- And Then There Were None?

- Mm-mmm.

Anyway,

all these people

get invited to this island.

And then, they don't

know why, but one by one,

they're murdered.

By who?

By someone pretending

to be a guest.

By the person

you'd least expect.

You're saying one of us

could be doing all this?

- Yeah.

- That doesn't make any sense.

Does anything

make any sense here?

I'm scared.

I swear nothing's

gonna happen to you.

All right?

- [ Kat ] You're fired.

- You can't just fire me!

And yet I have.

I mean, I would like to take

full credit for your axing,

but I think most of the thanks

goes to your police

detective friend Gomez.

He called the publishers.

Funny how they don't like having

suspected felons on the payroll.

Kat, come on.

You said you were

gonna help me.

Uh-uh.

I never said that.

I distinctly remember

hearing you say that

you were gonna help me.

You said, "Will you please

help me find my ex-wife who

I knocked up, then abandoned,

right before"--

let's see-- "right before

I started sleeping with you."

I don't remember

saying it quite that way.

But that's what I heard.

So vaya con Dios.

You know the all-too-sad irony?

I could've cared less

that you were married.

But I don't like being lied to.

I don't like it one little bit.

- I'm sorry.

- No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry

that I was such an idiot...

to think that maybe you weren't

just sleeping with me

to keep your job.

That was never it!

[ Camera Whirring ]

Look, I won't argue

with you about

my honesty issues.

I-- I obviously

need to work at that.

But the way I felt about you--

[ Clears Throat ]

feel about you--

is real.

It's very real.

[ Chuckles ]

You're amazing, you know that?

You are so full of it.

[ Man Clears Throat ]

Good-bye, Mark.

And don't let that

proverbial door hit you on

that bony ass of yours.

[ Mouths Word ]

No change?

No.

Do you think

she could be in a coma?

It's possible.

[ Voice Filtered ]

I guess

that's lucky for her.

She doesn't know

what she's missing.

Okay!

Wait a minute!

- Hey, hey, hey.

- [ Panting ]

Erika?

Is that your name?

I'm Joe.

This is Janet.

It's okay. You're safe.

You're-- You're okay.

We're gonna help you.

Everything's o-- Ow!

Ow, ow!

[ Groans ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Shrieks, Groans ]

[ Janet ]

Stop! It's not gonna work!

[ Shouts ]

[ Shrieking ]

- [ Screaming ]

- We tried, okay?

We even broke

through temporarily.

But we ran into something worse.

You cannot

get out of this place.

Erika, the only hope we have

is sticking together!

[ Chattering ]

Hey, turn up the TV.

Turn up the TV.

After this song.

Turn up the TV.

Fine.

- Whatever.

- [ Male Reporter ] The U.S.

ambassador has been notified.

Victoria Fairchild,

well-known party girl

in diplomatic circles,

disappeared

more than two weeks ago.

Her body was found this morning

in the famous Caligari

Fountain.

And there is Ambassador

Franklin Fairchild entering

the police station in Rome.

At this time,

authorities have no suspects...

in the murder of

the ambassador's daughter.

Tori.

If you've done

anything to her,

you bastards.

[ Static ]

Thank you, Linda,

for that report.

Recap on our top story.

Victoria Fairchild,

the 25-year-old daughter

of Franklin Fairchild,

the ambassador to Italy,

was found unharmed by police

today in the Prizzi district.

I am very grateful to have

my daughter back safe and sound.

I am also grateful

to the Italian authorities...

who pursued this matter

so tirelessly to such

a happy result.

Thank you.

[ Static ]

[ Grunts ]

Oh, God. Oh! Oh!

Oh! Damn!

[ Filtered, Indistinct ]

Oh, you like it rough.

[ Groaning ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Groaning ]

Oh, God.

What are you doing?

Oh!

[ Grunts ]

[ Speaks Chinese ]

[ Chinese ]

[ Clatters ]

[ Beeps ]

[ Joe ]

So you feel like telling me

what happened with Tori?

- Is this becoming

a habit with you?

- Where is she?

Ms. Fairchild--

no longer with us.

- Meaning?

- Joe, you know what that means.

Who's next?

No idea.

-Right. But someone.

-Yes, Joe. There will be other

eliminations. There always are.

Janet?

Don't know.

Don't want to know.

- What's with this new woman?

- [ Chuckles ]

She's a trip and a half,

isn't she?

It's wild.

- Who is she?

- Okay, Joe.

Enough with the questions.

I got work to do.

So do you.

Oh, hey. Uh, try

the pressed duck tonight.

[ Beeps ]

You won't be disappointed.

[ Beeps ]

Somebody!

Somebody help me!

[ Yelps ]

- Oh, no.

- [ Grunts, Exhales ]

It looks like

we've had ourselves

a busy afternoon, haven't we?

She tried to kill me.

Who?

That crazy bitch.

- Which one?

- Look, you gotta stop

joking around, man!

We're all in danger.

Okay?

You gotta help me.

We gotta--

we gotta stick together!

Okay. Okay.

But it's time you realize,

Mr. Blackham, that it's survival

of the fittest around here.

- [ Groans ]

- Does this hurt?

[ Shouts ]

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh.

I'm sorry.

Okay, best of luck.

Oh!

[ Groans ]

[ Crying ]

- I'll get you some ice, sir.

- [ Whimpers ]

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Stop her! Hey!

Hey, stop her!

Come on!

Stop! Stop!

Erika!

I told you, okay?

You don't have to

be afraid of us.

[ Moira ]

It's okay.

It's okay.

- You can trust us.

- [ Grunts ]

[ McNair ]

Christ! Hey!

Hey! Grab her!

Grab her!

[ Grunts ]

Oh, no.

Erika?

Erika, it's okay.

Okay, Erika,

we're not gonna hurt ya.

Erika, come on.

You're safe here.

[ Grunts ]

Erika, you have got

to calm down.

[ Typing ]

- No!

- No!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

[ Shouting ]

No!

Joe!

Joe, the door!

I can't get it!

I can't open it, Janet!

- Joe!

- Janet!

Open the door!

Just talk to me.

Okay.

I'll do the talking then.

My name's Janet.

Janet Cooper.

I live in Presidio Park

in San Francisco.

One night I'm kissing

my daughter good night,

and the next day,

I'm grabbed in a park,

and I end up here.

I'm just saying

I'm scared as hell too.

Of this place

and what they might do to us.

[ Exhales ]

And what they might

do to my daughter.

Okay?

Well, the only thing

you gotta be afraid of now...

is me.

[ Exhales Sharply ]

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

What's going on, Tom?

Business as usual.

- Really? This is not

part of the protocol!

- Slight modification.

No. You need to stop it.

Now!

Sorry, pal.

No can do.

No, no, no.

How long are they

supposed to be in there?

Until we have a result.

Or until their oxygen runs out.

The vault is a vacuum chamber,

slowly sucking the air out.

- Meaning they'll die in there?

- Yes, Joe.

That is a possible outcome.

Back off.

You can't help her, Joe!

- You gotta let it play out.

- The hell I do.

[ Typing ]

They're watching, you know?

And listening.

Good.

[ Grunts ]

I will cut this bitch's throat

if you don't open that door!

- It's not gonna work.

- Shut up!

[ Groans ]

They won't respond.

I'll do it.

I swear!

- [ Shrieks ]

- [ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunting ]

Okay.

Don't-- Don't move.

Honestly, I don't

want to hurt you.

[ Heavy Breathing ]

I've already died once.

I don't know that a second time

would be any worse.

Joe!

- What happened?

- They got locked in the vault.

- What? How?

- It just closed

and I couldn't stop it.

[ Grunting ]

Try the wall.

Try the wall.

[ Pickaxes Banging ]

Joe.

Mm, good.

Should take him about,

oh, 50 years to break through.

That's steel-reinforced

concrete. Just like in prison.

[ Banging Continues ]

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Sighs ]

You are friggin'

unbelievable.

I know.

I don't know what to say.

In case it slipped your mind,

breaking and entering

is a crime in this state.

- I still have a key. You

didn't ask for it back so--

- So naturally you assumed...

you could just

break into my apartment

whenever you like.

I tried to

access my Nexis account,

but it was canceled.

That's because I fired you!

- I think I'm onto something.

- I don't give a flying

rat's ass what you think!

Listen to me!

This is bigger than anything

to do with Janet.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I think somehow...

her disappearance is linked

to that ambassador's daughter.

You have gone off

the deep end.

There's

something else going on here.

If Janet was abducted--

Just shut up about her!

Would you just shut up!

There's something about this

that I just can't let go of.

That's because

you still care for Janet.

No. No. It's--

[ Sighs ]

I don't think it's that.

Not in the way you mean.

But I have to keep searching

until I know what happened

to Janet.

- I have to find her for Megan.

- For your daughter?

The one you abandoned.

You know what, Mark?

You do whatever it is

that you need to do.

You just do it without my help.

- Kat--

- Get out now!

Get out!

[ Sighs ]

Next time I call the police.

[ Door Opens ]

[ Both Grunting ]

Gotta give that Joe guy

points for trying.

He's been at it what--

10 minutes straight?

[ Sighs ]

Yeah.

- You've known him a long time?

- Just since we got here.

But he means a lot to you.

He's just someone I trust.

There's your

first mistake.

Trusting anyone,

especially a man.

He wants to get out of here

as much as I do.

Maybe.

- Why do you want to

get out of here so bad?

- Get back to my daughter.

[ Pickaxes Banging ]

What's her name?

Megan.

She'll be six.

Is she with her father?

He left before

she was born.

Haven't seen him since.

You ever think maybe

that's a good thing?

[ Chuckles ]

Almost every day.

[ Grunting ]

You got kids?

A son.

Anton.

He'd be about 11 now.

Eleven years,

three months, two days.

- He don't live with me though.

- Where is he now?

Foster care.

Where's your daughter?

I don't know.

With my mother, I guess.

But that terrifies me.

[ Banging Continues ]

When's the last time

you saw Anton?

A long time ago.

I haven't been

a very good mother to him.

I wanted to be.

Just didn't

turn out that way.

Well, hopefully you'll get

to see him again too.

Probably not.

No, really.

We're gonna

get out of this place, Erika.

I don't know if you've noticed,

but we're running out of air.

[ Sighs ]

[ Pickaxes Banging ]

Come on!

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing Heavily ]

Where you goin'?

- To get help.

- Blackham and Morse

are useless.

I know.

[ Buttons Clicking ]

[ Elevator Dings ]

Sir, will you be wanting

turndown service tonight?

[ Beeping ]

[ Elevator Dings ]

And what about you,

ma'am?

When you said

you'd already died once,

what did you mean?

You see these?

Lethal injection.

- You were gonna be executed?

- I was executed.

Courtesy of

the State of Texas.

Last thing I remember,

I'm laying on a gurney.

And as everything

started to fade,

all I can remember thinking was

dying ain't so bad after all.

Next thing I know,

I'm looking up

at your pretty face,

guessing I must be in heaven.

- Why'd you run then?

- In hell's where I oughta be.

Where I deserve to be.

I figured it must be a trick

of the devil or something.

Is this heaven...

or hell?

Neither.

This place is very real.

Yeah.

Yeah,

I guess you're right.

Janet?

Janet? Janet,

are you still with me?

- You're still with me, right?

- [ Softly ] Yeah.

[ Typing ]

[ Clicks ]

What am I gonna

do with you, Joe?

You need to open that vault.

You can't let 'em

die in there.

Everything you've gone through,

everything you've worked for.

You'd really

throw it away for her?

Yes.

Sorry, my friend.

I've got my orders.

- [ Shouts ]

- [ Groans ]

Stop it.

Stop the countdown.

This is your last chance...

to change your mind

and get back on board.

[ Groaning ]

Open the door!

[ Beeping ]

[ Heavy Breathing ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Softly ]

Hey. Come on.

Come on.

[ McNair ]

Janet.

[ Breathing Heavily ]

Thank you.

You all right?

Where's Joe?

I'm right here.

You okay? Huh?

You're okay.

All right.

You're the last person

I expected to see again.

No kidding.

It's a mystery even to me

why I'm here.

- Wanna come in?

- No.

This is as far as I go.

I understand.

Thanks... for this.

None of that means dick

if you don't face up

to the real issue, Mark.

Go see your daughter.

You owe it to Megan.

And you owe it

to yourself too.

Janet!

Oh, my God!

Are you okay?

Oh, thank God.

[ Shouts ]

I got you, you bitch!

You took my clothes!

- Get off me!

- Bitch! Oh!

Get off me!

Oh, God!

What are you guys doing?

She's the enemy!

No, she's not.

[ Bill ]

Stay away from me.

Hey. I'm sorry.

I didn't know

what I was doing here.

It's okay.

I understand.

Hey! Don't you think

you owe me an apology too?

Dream on, loser.

[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Beeps ]

Yes?

[ Man, Irish Accent ]

Thank you for your cooperation,

Mr. Ambassador.

I know how difficult

it must have been for you.

Go to hell.

If there had been

any other way--

I won't participate in

any more of your charades.

You will.

You must.

You've already taken

my little girl from me.

- What more could you do?

- I'm afraid quite a bit more,

Mr. Ambassador.

Quite a bit more.

[ Beeps ]

[ McNair Praying In Arabic ]

[ Continues ]

[ Men Shouting ]

[ Man ]

Behind you!

- [ Shouts ]

- [ Arabic ]

As-salaam alaikum!

[ Voices Echoing ]

[ Crying, Speaking In Arabic ]

As-salaam alaikum.

You thinking about Megan?

Always.

Good.

I want you

to know something.

No matter what,

I got your back.

Hey, that's a--

that's a great bike.

I bet you can't wait

to get rid of

those training wheels.

You're not supposed

to talk to me.

Mommy says

I can't talk to strangers.

- Mommy's right.

- That's rule number one.

- Excuse me.

- I'm not a stranger.

I'm--

You're that reporter

from the Register.

Megan, sweetheart.

Go show me how well you can ride

your new bike Nana got you.

I believe that parental consent

is required before one can

interview a child, Mr.--

- Cooper.

- What?

- Mark Cooper.

- No. You're--

Who you think I am. Yes. I know

what you must think about me.

But right now,

I'm just somebody

who knows Megan's mother.

Is that true?

- What do you want?

- I just want what's best

for your granddaughter.

I, uh-- I want

to tell Megan something.

You be very careful

what you say.

It's okay.

Megan,

your mommy

misses you very much.

- You talked to Mommy?

- No.

But I will.

I'll find your mommy.

I--

I promise.

[ Knocking On Door ]

- Hi.

- How are you feeling?

I feel better.

Thanks.

- I wanted to apologize.

- What for?

You getting hurt.

It was my responsibility

to keep you all safe.

I let you down.

All of you.

That's not true.

Look, we're in this together.

And we're gonna get out of it

somehow together.

I know it.

Just like Tori.

Tori's dead, Moira.

Well, that's just it.

She isn't.

I know this sounds crazy,

but I was in the dress shop,

and the TV was there

with a news report showing Tori,

alive, back in Rome.

It had to have been

some kind of trick.

No, it wasn't.

She's still alive.

I know it.

I always knew this place

was some kind of

military training camp.

They test you to see

if you'll crack under pressure.

Graham--

I failed, Moira.

Let's just leave it at that.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait. I--

I gotta tell you something.

It's about Joe.

- You've done it now, Joe.

- I couldn't let

Janet die, Tommy.

This wasn't about her! Okay?

This was about you, pal.

You and me.

This was our test.

- Ours?

- Yes, ours.

You put us both in danger.

Understand that.

I do.

I can't help

the way I feel, Tom.

I was hoping you could.

Yeah.

- So now what?

- I don't know.

I guess we'll just

have to wait and see.

But I'm guessing

it won't be good.
