Original subtitles

I'm the man who pulled the plane out of the sky

to save your life.

What do you want?

Release Sophia and the rest of the detainees,

like you promised to.

That promise was based on the premise

that we were both being honest with each other.

Mr. President, I don't need to hear your excuses.

Release Sophia and the detainees,

or this time, people will die.

[Crying]

[Screaming]

It's burning!

Call the nurse, I have to get out!

Ma'am, ma'am!

No, no, no, no!

Let me out!

[Screaming]

Easy. Take it easy!

Why can't somebody tell me

what the hell is going on?

Please just tell me what the hell is going on.

[Crying]

Nurse! Nurse!

Mr. Buchanan.

We're only trying to help you.

What is happening?

Tell me! Tell me!

Mr. Buchanan-- what is happening?

[Suspenseful music]

♪ The Event 1x05 ♪ Casualties of War Original Air Date on October 18, 2010

-- sync, corrected by elderman -- -- for www.addic7ed.com --

The hemorrhaging is getting worse,

and the symptom set is widening.

The passengers' nervous systems, and now their cognitive

functions are under attack.

Yeah, but from what?

Do you know what's wrong with them yet?

Blood tests show no sign of viral or bacterial infection.

I think we're looking at a foreign,

or, possibly extra-terrestrial organism.

Well, then at least we have clarity about

who is doing this to them.

Sophia's people, this group of sleepers,

including this man, Thomas, that she kept secret

from us all these years.

Regardless of the cause of infection,

do we have a way to treat them, to make them better?

We've tried everything, it's impossible

to treat what we don't understand.

If the passengers continue to decline at this rate,

none of them will be alive by morning.

Mr. President, a man identifying himself as Thomas

just called in to the White House switchboard,

asking to speak to you.

We're attempting to run a voice match to the first call

you received from him.

Oh, I'll recognize his voice.

I assume that means you want to take the call?

Absolutely, put him through.

Have NSA throw everything they've got at tracing the call.

I already have them on it, sir.

Put it through.

You're on the line with the President.

Mr. President, I assume by now

you realize the 183 passengers aboard Flight 514

do not have long to live.

Correct?

What do you want?

I have a counter agent,

an antidote that can reverse the process.

Save their lives.

Meet my demands, and I'll get it to you.

Your demands?

Release Sophia and the detainees in Inostranka.

All 96 of them.

You know I can't do that.

Then this conversation's over,

and the passengers will die.

You listen to me, you son of a bitch--

you have two hours, to make arrangements

for the release of my people.

I'll call you back then.

Thomas!

Thomas!

They spotted us, they'll be here soon.

We have to move everyone out.

No.

There are too many wounded, we wouldn't get far.

I need you to gather all the able bodied and get ready to go.

What about you?

I can't abandon them.

No.

Unless you go, there's no hope...

For any of us.

There is if we fight.

Listen to me.

I can't risk all of us being caught.

We'll be together soon, I promise.

Now, go.

Thomas! Thomas, come on.

Come on, they're almost here.

We got to go.

Everybody! Let's go, come on!

Let's go!

Thomas, we have to stop.

Let people rest.

Not yet.

Look.

Everybody, wait here until we know it's safe.

It's empty.

Oh, look at that.

All this food.

It doesn't look like anybody's been here in a while.

Ship didn't survive the crash.

We're trapped here.

We'll have to figure out another way to get home.

What about Sophia and the others?

We can't just leave them behind.

I have no intention of that.

First things first.

Come take a look at this.

What is it?

They're still using vacuum tubes.

They're nowhere near the level of technology

we're gonna need to get back.

We'll figure something out.

That's easy for you to say.

Sophia didn't saddle you up with getting it done.

She chose you for a reason, Thomas.

Because she believes in you.

It'll take years.

No luck with the trace, sir.

Mr. President, I understand the natural inclination

to want to save the passengers, but the truth is,

we have no reason to trust this man.

And I don't need to remind you it's the long-standing

policy of this country not to negotiate with terrorists.

Oh, you're right, you don't need to tell me that.

I'd also like to point out that releasing

Sophia and the detainees in return for the antidote

will be perceived as weakness and will only encourage

the enemy to make bigger demands in the future.

The people on that plane are innocent.

Some of them are children.

And it's tragic.

But what this man Thomas is doing is an act of war.

And in war, there are casualties.

It's unavoidable.

We'll reconvene in two hours.

Before he calls back in.

[Cell phone rings]

Yeah.

Thomas, listen to me. It's not too late.

Hand over the antidote in good faith

and there's a chance we can repair the damage

you've already done.

Why?

We both know what kind of man Martinez is.

Idealistic and indecisive.

When push comes to shove, he'll cave.

You can't turn us into murderers.

What does it matter? They're all going to die anyway.

Sophia's been fighting for the release of our people

in Inostranka for the last 66 years.

And she got nothing.

I'm sick of waiting.

Now, we're gonna do things my way.

And by tomorrow, our people will be free.

[Phone rings]

[Voicemail] Hi, this is Sean.

Please leave a message.

Any luck?

No, it's going straight to voicemail.

I also tried calling my mom and dad, but they're not picking up.

Is it possible that he got the message

and he talked to someone else?

No. Trust me.

If he calls, you'll be the first to know.

You have a nice family.

Thank you.

We'll be celebrating 15 years come this January.

How long are we gonna keep this up?

If she doesn't connect with Walker before daybreak,

we're gonna have to pull out.

He'll call. You sound pretty sure.

I spent time with them,

I saw how they were with each other.

All Sean's thinking about is finding Leila.

Well, you'd better be right.

For both our sakes.

I just got the final orders.

Target's been expanded.

They want us to take out the entire family.

Why? Doesn't really matter.

We kill everyone in the house. Understood?

Everyone.

[Gunshots] Ah!

[Alarm blaring]

[Gunshots] [grunt]

[Baby crying]

Hey, Rick. It's Sean.

Oh, you're finally returning my calls.

Gonna have to keep this short, Europe just opened.

Rick, listen. Leila's in danger.

What do you mean, is she okay?

I hope so, I'm trying to find her.

Look, I need you to run a locate on a cell phone number.

It belongs to a woman who calls herself Vicky Roberts.

Sean, I don't do that anymore.

Not since the Feds started cracking down on hacking.

And I have a family now.

Leila may be killed if I don't find her.

Okay? Please.

Tracking this number is my only chance.

Sean, what did you get yourself into?

It's better if you don't know.

Will you do this for me, or not?

What's the number?

Uh, my friend ran Vicky's number but didn't get a hit.

Her phone might be off.

Well, he'll keep trying, and then he'll call me

if he finds her location.

Your phone's dead.

Got it covered.

[Voicemail message] Sean?

Sean, it's me.

It's Leila.

I'm okay, I'm safe.

I'm in this police station, in this town, Snyder.

In Texas.

She's here, in Texas.

I got away, but...

I don't think the police believe me.

Sean, please come and get me. I love you.

She's at a police station in Snyder.

I don't think that's too far from here.

[Phone rings]

Snyder police department.

It's for you.

Sean? Leila.

Is it you?

Is it really you?

Yeah. Yes, it's me.

It's me, we're coming to get you right now.

We're on our way to Snyder.

We're a little over an hour away.

Are you hurt? Are you okay?

No, I'm okay.

There were these people that took me off the ship.

Vicky was one of them.

They were trying to force my dad to--

I know, I know.

Sean, they were gonna kill me.

I didn't know what to do.

I had to shoot her to get away.

But you're okay, now.

You're safe, and I'll be there soon.

I promise. I have so much to tell you.

[Phone voice garbled] I believe you.

I knew you would find me.

[Phone voice garbled] Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, I-- can you hear me?

Sean, Sean, you're breaking up.

Sean, I'm losing you.

I have the address,

okay, so I'm coming for you, all right?

Okay, I can't wait to see you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Well, of course, it's down the hall to your left.

Hey!

No!

[Stuggling, grunting]

Get off me!

Go, go!

Keep us safe, lord. Keep all of us safe.

Don't let us die. Please.

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

We're losing him!

You're gonna kill him! Go to your bed!

Ma'am, calm down. Calm down.

Ow!

All right, all right. Calm down.

Doctor!

[Indistinct]. Chasing lido.

Charge to 360. Got it.

Clear.

Charging again. Clear.

Okay, he's back.

[Gagging]

Get the IVs going. Ativan, 2 miligrams, I.M.

Please, help me.

Chase it with haldol if you need to.

Help me.

I couldn't sleep.

What's going on?

It's the passengers, they're getting worse.

They're dying.

All of them.

Oh, my God.

Why?

They're infected by something, by this man, Thomas.

The one who put the cell phone in David's backpack?

Yeah.

He claims to have an antidote, which he'll give us.

In return for me releasing the detainees.

Well, do you think he's telling the truth,

that he really has a cure?

I don't know that it matters.

You're not thinking of letting them die?

Elias, he's only asking you to do

what you were going to do anyway.

You were minutes away from releasing the detainees.

But that was before I realized Sophia was lying to me.

About how many of her people were here,

about them being helpless.

We can't let them out, until we understand

what they really want, what they're doing here.

You sound like Blake Sterling.

This has got nothing to do with Blake.

Things have changed.

Yes, but you haven't.

Elias, I know you.

If there's even a small chance

that you can save these people's lives--

Christina, it's not that simple.

Not when you're in my shoes.

Mr. President, we only have a minute.

I thought we should discuss our strategy.

I'm aware of that.

And what have you decided, Mr. President?

[Phone ringing]

Mr. President. He's called, and he's on hold.

Go.

You're on with the President.

I have the counteragent prepared,

and ready to be delivered to you.

As soon as you release Sophia and the detainees.

Don't bother.

What did you say?

Don't bother, I'm not releasing any of them.

It's not going to happen.

Then the passengers will die.

And what I did to them, I can do to whole towns,

entire cities.

You accept the terms to my deal.

Here's the new deal.

You're going to give me that antidote,

and you're going to give it to me when I tell you to,

because if even one of those passengers dies,

I will execute Sophia

and the rest of the detainees at Inostranka.

All of them.

You wouldn't.

You're wrong.

[Dial tone]

How long have you been living here?

Six months.

I'm impressed that you were able to find me.

We were all counting on you.

How could you leave everyone behind like that?

Without a clue as to where you were going, and why?

I knew you could handle it.

Taking care of everyone.

That's not the point.

What have you been doing here?

I'm supposed to bring us home,

and that's what I'm doing.

Yeah? How?

You saw how behind they are.

I'm trying to boost your scientific knowledge,

so we can be helped, too.

Thanks to what I've already done,

the U.S. government should have

the capabilities to create nuclear fission,

in a matter of months.

Instead of decades.

They're calling it the Manhattan Project.

Do you know what they're going to use this for?

This country is at war, Thomas.

I don't care what they're going to use it for.

It's what we're going to use it for that matters.

Mr. President. Blake, come in.

I have somewhat promising news.

May I? How is that, yeah.

In 1944, when the army built Inostranka

to house the prisoners, they included

a last resort safety feature to neutralize the detainees

quickly and permanently.

This termination protocol would be the best way to proceed

should we not receive the antidote.

Termination protocol.

Uh, the idea is to seal off the prisoners living quarters

and pump carbon monoxide from the physical plant

into the air ducts.

That's barbaric.

Well...It may seem that way, now.

But, in 1944, no one could be sure

how much of a threat they posed to humanity.

Given the time we have,

I think this is our strongest option.

We can have it back online in under two hours.

Mr. President, are you having second thoughts about this?

Because reneging on your threat at this point,

would be the worst of all possible scenarios.

I understand this isn't easy.

Standing up to this man, no matter what the consequences.

But, if it makes any difference,

I believe you're doing the right thing.

Do it.

Yes, Mr. President.

I had to dig out the original blueprints

but it's been there all these years.

This thing is real.

Elias would never murder people in cold blood,

he's a good man.

Your words. I know what I said.

But things have changed.

I'm telling you, Martinez is ready to

go through with this if Thomas doesn't back down.

It will never come to that.

Thomas won't let the passengers die.

Sophia, he will.

His pride is blinding him.

He's gone too far.

He's not the same man I put in charge back then.

I can't sit here and let him sacrifice the lives

of all those innocent people.

I tried to tell him we couldn't allow

that to happen, but he wouldn't listen to me.

But he will listen to me.

I don't care if it means

I have to spend another 66 years in this damn prison.

You tell him to release the antidote now,

before any of those poor people die.

And make sure he understands it's an order.

I hope you're here to tell me

you talked sense into the President.

He wouldn't have listened to me,

even if I tried.

He's gonna regret pushing me.

I'll let the passengers die.

No, you're not.

I talked to Sophia.

She agrees with me.

She wants you to hand over the antidote.

I don't care.

What did you say?

I'm done taking orders from Sophia.

She and Martinez deserve each other.

They're both weak.

It's like you once told me,

she put me in charge for a reason.

I take my own orders from now on.

Like hell you do.

Give me the antidote.

Over my dead body.

Come here.

What are you gonna do to me, huh?

Don't you get it?

The President isn't going to back down.

Neither am I.

Then you're sentencing your own people to death.

That's it?

Come on, we went to a lot of trouble,

you could at least act surprised.

Stay away from me.

That's what you should have told your sweetie on the phone.

Instead, you're leading him right to us.

Thank you.

Go to hell.

Hey, Sean will be here any minute.

I'll take the roof.

Call me with a heads up when you get the visual.

Will do.

Please...Please don't do this.

Sean hasn't done anything.

I have orders and I have no choice but to follow them.

Even if that means killing innocent people

it's that simple for you?

No one told me there'd be a baby.

I didn't see a need.

You had your orders.

Take out the family, burn down the house.

And that's what you did, right?

Because, if I had any doubt-- that you were unable

to fulfill the contract,

then we would have to deal with that.

It's done.

Good.

Mom, you left the door open.

Everything go okay?

Fine, there's some spaghetti left if you want it.

I'm not that hungry.

I'm just going to go lay down, okay?

You're safe here.

I promise.

[Cell phone ringing]

Go.

I got the car. Block and a half, coming at us.

It's Walker.

He's got the FBI Agent with him.

What, just her?

Yeah.

I got my M-24, I could end this right now

while they're still in the car.

No, our orders are to be discreet.

Just wait until they get inside.

Here we go.

[Cell phone ringing]

Hey, Rick.

Listen, we found Leila.

You did?

You're in Snyder?

How did you know that?

The woman you asked me to look for, Vicky Roberts,

she just switched her phone on, and that's where she is.

Snyder, Texas.

Vicky's in Snyder. Are you sure?

26th Street, between Avenues M and N.

Vicky's inside the precinct. How?

It's a trap.

Rick, we gotta go.

We gotta get outta here.

Leave?

We know they're monitoring law enforcement, okay?

We can't call for help.

We're not gonna just leave Leila here.

Okay, the second we walk in there, we'll be killed.

Okay, give me a gun.

We don't even know how many people are in there.

And we don't know how much longer

they're going to keep Leila alive,

we have to get her out now!

Sean, just please listen to me.

It's a suicide.

Okay? We have no move here.

Maybe we do.

What are you doing?

I'm sending a message.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone ringing]

Who is this?

You went to a lot of trouble to hide them.

Your son.

Sean.

Not letting your son keep photos of his mother,

not letting him know your real name.

I gotta think that was for a reason.

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

Of course you don't.

We're outside.

But I assume you already know that.

So, here's what's gonna happen.

I'm walking in there, and I'm walking out with Leila.

Or your son's picture and address go viral.

There are other people in here,

you don't know what you're doing.

Maybe...But you do.

So help us,

and no one has to know about Adam.

You know I don't want to do this,

but you didn't really give me much of a choice.

So at least I'm giving you one.

Did she go for it?

I don't know.

But I'm going in.

Take this.

He's heading your way.

Fed's staying in the car.

Walker's coming in alone.

Stay down!

Go, she's in the back. Go!

Leila!

Leila!

Leila!

Sean?

Leila?

Sean!

Sean, I'm in here!

Leila, stand back, I'm gonna kick the door down.

Oh, God.

We gotta go, okay? Okay.

Okay, follow me.

Drop it! Now.

I will use it.

Go.

Now.

Get in.

Walker came in with FBI agents.

I don't know how they found us.

They took the girl.

I'm not sure how they knew, somebody must have talked.

No, they got Carter too, I'm the only one left.

I'll wait for orders at the rendezvous point.

I gotta go.

We'll get someplace safe.

Then he and I are going to have a little talk.

You came.

Mr. President, it's three minutes past the deadline,

and no antidote has been forthcoming.

The termination protocol is ready.

Just one more minute.

[Phone ringing]

Where's the antidote?

You'll get it when you release my people.

Just like I proposed.

Then, there's nothing more we have to talk about.

And you will have the deaths of Sophia,

and the detainees on your hands.

Are we done?

No, wait.

There's no point in any more talk.

Unless I get the antidote, I'm hanging up.

Don't--do not hang up.

You heard what I said.

Give me just one.

Spell it out.

Give me one of my people, and I'll get you the antidote.

Who?

Sophia.

Agreed.

Sophia, for the antidote.

But, if I release her, and the antidote doesn't work,

or it doesn't get here in time, you'll leave me no choice,

I'll have to execute your people.

It'll be delivered to the CDC...In time.

Take Sophia to the Farragut North Metro Station,

put her on the Red Line, scheduled to depart at 8:16,

no one on the train, or in the station.

And no stops once she boards.

Just keep the train moving.

Done.

I need you to put a tracking device on her,

something that she can't easily get rid of.

Yeah, we have traceable material

that can be added to her food and water.

Do it.

She will lead us straight to Thomas.

He's your new priority.

Yes, sir. Right away.

I have the President for you.

I had no choice but to release you, Sophia,

so don't mistake this for kindness or trust.

I won't, but I hope to regain both.

What Thomas has done

goes against everything that I believe in.

Then prove it.

Rein him in like you said you could.

Keep that promise, we'll start from there.

I understand, Mr. President.

- Hi. - Hi.

I spoke to Rachel.

She told me you were able to get the antidote.

Yeah, the passengers are already getting better.

She told me how you got it.

Elias, if it didn't work out, would you have--

would you have done it, and gone through

with your threat and murdered the detainees?

The only thing that matters is that it did...

Work out.

That's not an answer.

Well, honey, it's the only answer I have right now.

I'm gonna go take David to school.

Okay.
