Previously on The Event...
She's reached her destination.
St. Andrew's Cathedral.
Can we tell how many people are in it?
I'm picking up 200 heat signatures.
They're meeting.
Move your men into position, general.
This is your new target.
We've all known that our planet's days were numbered.
According to the message I received,
our sun has started going supernova.
In less than a year,
our planet will be uninhabitable.
This planet is the only chance we have of survival
and we're gonna seize it before it's too late.
You're gonna help me take down James Dempsey
or I will put a bullet in your head.
Okay.
He left for France this morning,
somewhere in the Jura Mountains.
We need to go.
Mr. Vice President, open the door, sir.
Now!
Mr. Vice President, are you all right?
They're getting away. That way.
Split up! Split up!
It's like that!
Get in!
Go! Go! Go!
Go.
You can thank me later for saving your life.
Don't hold your breath.
You're the only reason I'm in this mess.
Jarvis said Dempsey was in France,
in the Jura Mountains.
Does that mean anything to you?
I don't know what it means and I don't care.
I got you Jarvis. He told you what he knows.
I made good on my end of the deal
and now I'm done.
Hey.
You're done when I say you're done.
Dempsey's in France.
There's nothing more I can do.
If you walk away,
I will expose your son.
And if his location makes its way into the wrong hands,
it's over for him and you.
Let me go, Sean.
Please.
When I get Dempsey, you'll be free.
That's the only way.
And how do you expect me to find Dempsey
when he's in France?
You just get us there and I'll worry about the rest.
Reposition our Titan satellite over the sector.
No, tell N.O.R. to override it.
This is our top priority.
I want every square inch of that neighborhood covered.
All right.
Sir, I heard you were looking for me.
- Welcome back, agent Lee. - What's going on?
There's an increased security alert,
but nobody seems to know why.
We were able to locate Sophia.
Where is she?
Church. Downtown Los Angeles.
She and Thomas are holding some kind of gathering.
Wait a second. Sophia and Thomas?
Along with 200 sleepers.
Do you want me to
coordinate our men on the ground?
No, general Armbruster's taking the lead on this.
President has decided to change strategy,
take whatever measures are necessary to end this
once and for all.
Simon...
Over the past few months, you've proved yourself
invaluable to this mission.
I'm gonna be relying on your expertise.
Thank you, sir.
Evacuate all civilians now.
Yes, sir.
We'll clear a five-block radius of the church.
Under what cover?
Hostage situation involving
a white supremacist group.
Fine.
Where are we on the church schematics?
No emergency exits,
no underground tunnels, and no one is going
in or out of that building without our saying so.
I'm gonna hold you to that, general.
Yes, sir.
We have a tactical team on the move
with cameras and parabolic mics.
As soon as they're in place,
we'll have a sense of whether they're armed.
Of course they're armed.
That's why we need to move and move quickly.
Gentlemen, we are not going to cower
in fear of retaliation.
I've made that mistake before. Not again.
This won't stop until we put an end to it.
We have given them the advantage simply by being afraid.
Well, that ends today.
- Understood, sir. - Good.
Get Sophia on the secured line.
Elias?
I know that you, Thomas,
and hundreds of your people are inside that church.
Surrender peacefully and I promise
no one will be harmed.
All right, listen to me.
I came here to try to convince my people
to do the right thing.
You have done nothing but lie
since the second we met.
I'm done. Surrender.
So you can lock us up forever?
You know I can't do that.
You have ten minutes.
That's impossible, Elias.
Ten minutes.
If we encounter any resistance whatsoever,
I'll make you regret ever leaving
wherever it is you came from.
The Event 1x15 - Face Off
Sync by elderman Corrected by Addic7ed.com www.addic7ed.com
Team Echo, what's your status?
We're approaching from the rear
and we'll propel to the roof.
Copy.
Let's move.
She has seven minutes.
Have your men ready to deploy.
I'm not giving her a second of leeway.
Thomas was well-armed at Inostranka
and when he ambushed our convoy.
The chances of this turning into a firefight are high.
But I can guarantee you this,
The bulk of the casualties will be theirs.
Look, if I may, Mr. President.
We are rushing into an armed engagement
instead of doing our best to keep them alive.
I have to say I'm surprised that's your priority.
Not for humanitarian reasons,
but we need to interrogate the people in that church.
Sir, I agree.
We'll need them alive if we want them to lead us
to the rest of the sleepers.
Your point is well taken,
but we have a strategic advantage
on Sophia for the first time in months.
I'm not giving that up.
Six minutes, we're going in.
Sir.
This is the position your president put us in.
The man you kept telling us to trust.
Martinez is doing this because of you,
because you pushed him to it.
But none of that matters now.
Listen to me!
You have control of the portal.
We need whoever you've got running it
to get us out of here.
If I give you access to the portal,
how do I know you won't use it against us?
She'll cost us this world, Thomas.
Our people won't...
Trust me, Thomas. It's the only way.
It's Gerard, but there's a security protocol.
I go through a cut out.
It takes time for him to call me back.
How long?
I don't know.
But if he doesn't contact us,
I'd rather die fighting than surrender.
No, we would never survive...
I'm not alone on this, mother.
They've got troops everywhere.
Out of uniform, but they're U.S. military.
My guess, Special Forces.
How can you tell?
Tactical formations, the way they move.
I was in Korea in another life.
Dad?
What are you doing here?
I told you to stay there.
I was trying to keep you safe.
Dad, you told me you'd give me answers
and I just got tired of waiting.
I'm sorry.
Well, it's my fault you're here.
I'm the one who should be sorry.
What's gonna happen?
I don't know.
Simon?
Yeah, I got your text, but I couldn't get away.
There must be some way to negotiate with him.
Look, there's not.
Martinez is taking a hard line.
If you don't come out before the deadline,
he'll send in Special Forces,
the most lethal men he has.
I have a responsibility to my people.
We can't surrender. Not now.
I'm telling you now is all you've got.
You're not going to get a second chance.
Simon... our planet is dying.
What?
I'm sorry.
I wish you didn't have to hear it this way,
but that's why Thomas called this meeting.
No, no.
You can't believe anything he tells you.
It's true.
The message is true.
We cannot surrender. Not now.
The fate of our entire civilization is at stake.
Sophia, if you don't surrender,
they're going to kill you.
Don't you get it?
We will find another way.
Hello?
It's Gerard.
Put it on speaker.
Gerard, I'm with Sophia.
Sophia?
Martinez has us surrounded.
We need you to use the portal to get us out of here.
How many people we talking about?
188.
- That's impossible. - Find a way.
Do you have any idea how much fuel that requires?
We've only just started loading in
the new uranium rods.
All right.
How long will it take you to load enough
to transport us all out?
Hours.
We have five minutes before Martinez launches an attack.
I don't have the fuel to portal
even 1 person out of there, let alone 188.
All right.
If you can't use it to portal people,
tell me what you can use it for.
No!
Shots fired! DaSilva's down!
Mr. President, Sophia's people have opened fire
on one of our recon teams.
Commence the operation.
There's still two minutes left on the deadline.
You're going against your word.
Move your men in and take the church.
Look, it'll be a bloodbath.
Sir, it's Sophia on line one.
The shooting wasn't supposed to happen.
- I don't care. - I'm warning you, Elias.
You're warning me?
Do not engage your men.
You will regret it.
You and Thomas have left me no choice.
Elias, you have to listen.
You have my orders.
It's a go.
All teams, it's a go.
Sophia, Gerard's waiting for your word.
Troops are closing in.
What do you want us to do?
Tell him to take it down.
Sir, once we've breached the doors,
it should only be a matter of time before we...
It's them.
Sir!
Sir,
we're getting reports that the Washington Monument
it's gone.
Destroyed by Sophia's people, we have to assume.
Tell your men to stand down.
Stand down now!
We don't know how far she'll go.
I want a status report, now!
Pulling up live traffic cams.
Ancillary White House staff has been evacuated.
Through the smoke and debris over the National Mall,
we can confirm reports that the Washington Monument
has been completely destroyed.
Rescue teams are arriving on the scene
to deal with what appear to be extensive casualties.
I need to make a statement.
I need to address the American people.
- Sir, we have to evacuate. - No.
- Sir, it's protocol. - No.
Evacuate my wife and my son.
I want to know they're safe.
I'm not leaving the White House.
How many casualties?
70 and climbing.
Hundreds seriously injured.
Oh, my God.
Put the military on high alert.
Declare a national state of emergency.
And I'm releasing a statement now.
- Saying what exactly? - The truth.
Write this down.
Washington D.C. has been attacked by a terrorist group.
- Sir? - Not now.
Mr. President, it's Sophia on line three.
You forced my hand, Elias.
I want three buses delivered to the church,
the windows must be blacked out,
and a fully fueled C-5 cargo jet waiting for us at LAX.
Failure to comply will result in the complete devastation
of your capital.
Listen to me.
No, you listen.
You have no idea what we're capable of.
Washington will be destroyed.
Countless people will be hurt, killed...
And the attacks will continue until you let us free.
You have one hour.
Hey.
I had to call in a lot of favors for this.
I was wondering maybe you could help me out.
What?
I'd like to talk to my son.
I was worried, Vicky.
We hadn't heard from you.
I know. I'm sorry.
Where are you?
It's safer if you don't know.
Hey, listen. Can I talk to Adam?
He's asleep.
You want me to go wake him up?
No, that's okay. Let him sleep.
How is he?
He's scared.
You heard what happened.
No.
Vicky, terrorists blew up the Washington Monument.
What?
No, I had no idea.
I don't know how much longer I can do this, Vicky.
We need you home.
I know.
If I could be there, you know I would.
I miss you guys so much and...
Hey, listen, mom. I got to go, all right?
No, wait.
Give Adam a big kiss for me, okay?
Okay, honey. Bye-bye.
My God.
Did you get anything?
Well, Dempsey has a corporation
called the Phoenix Foundation.
They fund archaeological digs.
Right now, they have a permit for a dig
in the Jura Mountains, just south of Alsace.
Archaeology?
Why would a guy involved in big pharma
go all the way to France just to play in the dirt?
Well, think.
What could he be looking for?
Whatever it is, he's spending a fortune to find it.
- Mr. Dempsey. - Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Right this way.
I'm so pleased you're here so that you can see this.
Well, I take it you've made some remarkable discoveries.
That's quite an understatement.
We've unearthed nearly a dozen limestone amphora,
eerily similar to those that housed the Dead Sea scrolls.
Preliminary results from the carbon-14 data suggests
that they were made between 2000 and 1900 B.C.
They're quite older than that.
Sir?
Just an uneducated...
guess from an excited collector.
Well, there's a lot to be excited about.
One amphora in particular is painstakingly inscribed,
but in a language that's entirely unknown.
At least by me.
They're beautiful.
Wait till you see the pictographs
on the northern face of the chamber.
You entered the chamber?
I gave very clear instructions.
No one was to breach that entrance.
Who else saw inside?
It was just me.
No, I'm very sorry, Mr. Dempsey,
but you must understand.
But to a man such as myself, a discovery
of this magnitude...
I simply couldn't resist.
This is unfortunate.
If you'd been able to exercise a little more self-control,
you might have been able to live long enough
to tell your children about this.
I know how hard this must have been for you.
Don't say that.
Don't pretend you understand me.
Everything I've worked for is gone.
Don't you see?
We didn't have any other choice.
Diplomacy wasn't an option.
No, you took that option away.
Me?
Look at them.
I mean, this is who they are.
Violence.
Violence is the language that they understand.
No, you are the one who refused to engage
in peaceful negotiations.
Well, it's too late for that.
You are the one who pushed us into a violent confrontation!
All through history, humans have proven
to be selfish, short-sighted, and hostile.
But for some reason, you're determined
to blame me for this.
I'm not perfect.
And I've made some mistakes.
But I've worked hard for 66 years
to unite our people while you were locked up away in a cell.
All you have done is unite our people
in a rhetoric of fear.
You expect me to grateful for that?
I'm sorry, but I did expect more from you.
Change is never easy, Sophia.
There's always a cost.
Leadership requires discipline, sacrifice,
the ability to make people believe in the impossible.
No one said anything about easy.
We don't know what their power source is
or where it's coming from.
We could scan infrared data from satellite footage,
see if we get a lock on a location.
We don't have time for that.
Troops have secured the area
around the monument, sir.
Secure?
We don't know anything about their capabilities.
There's no such thing as secure.
Mr. President?
If I could have a moment.
Where the hell have you been, Blake?
I need to speak to you... Alone.
All right.
Sir?
What do we do?
Give them the buses.
It's our only option.
Perhaps you were wrong about that, sir.
There may be an opportunity to exploit.
Go on.
I had a strange feeling when I met Thomas at Inostranka.
He seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it.
Then this morning, it hit me.
What hit you?
I realized where I'd seen Thomas before.
It was at Bethesda General,
when Simon was recovering there.
Okay.
So I scanned archived video surveillance
at the hospital and it was him wearing a lab coat.
We did a DNA test on Simon to prove he was human.
Thomas posed as a tech in the blood bank.
He switched out Simon's sample for human blood.
Dios mio.
Agent Murphy was right all along.
Simon Lee is one of them.
You bring him to me. I want to talk to him.
He must know how to stop Sophia.
No, he won't talk. Not in time.
So we pretend like we don't know?
For now.
We've been monitoring his phone
ever since the siege began.
He's been making encrypted calls.
If we can break the code in time,
we'll finally be one step ahead of them.
What the hell is going on? How could you do this?
Do you know how many people died?
Simon, I know how you must be feeling.
No, you don't.
All these years of working undercover,
Sophia, I did it for you,
because I believed in the mission.
The peaceful mission.
Martinez had his military moving in on us.
Believe me when I tell you I had no choice.
Now that we've captured the call,
it shouldn't be long until we break the encryption.
Make it happen.
We're running out of time.
I don't understand.
Why not just use the portal array
to transport yourselves out of the church?
No, the portal didn't have enough power.
We used what little fuel we had on the monument.
What do you mean?
My ultimatum to the President,
it's a bluff.
We're refueling the portal as quickly as we can,
but for right now, we're completely defenseless.
What was that?
I need to enter the code to make sure
your son's whereabouts don't go viral.
You really need to keep that hanging over me?
If I didn't, would I still be alive?
How much longer till we get to the safe house?
We're almost there.
You never told me your contact's name.
I know him as Henri.
You used to work together?
Here and there.
That's all you're gonna tell me?
You already know too much about me.
Does that make you uncomfortable?
No, it makes me vulnerable
and that makes me uncomfortable.
He lives here?
As far as I know.
What do you mean? You didn't call him?
I don't have his number.
Gonna go around back.
Great.
T'es qui, l'americain?
I'm here with Vicky Roberts.
Vicky Roberts.
I don't know any Vicky Roberts.
Henri! Henri, it's me!
It's me.
Hold on. No, let me tell you.
So we get information,
that the target, Egyptian terrorist,
very bad man, had reservations...
No.
Had reservations at Le Meurice.
No, Taillevent. You have no memory.
Taillevent, Le Meurice, same difference.
Anyway, we get a table and wait for him.
And wait and wait and wait.
Three bottles of wine later...
we are wasted.
We were supposed to very precisely
take out our target.
Who hasn't even shown up at this point.
So what happened?
Called it off. It was too risky.
We get in the car, okay?
And she pulls out of the restaurant.
I'm a little...
I don't see the car straight in front of me.
Head-on collision.
A guy goes straight through the windshield.
She gets out of the car to help him.
- Turn him over. - He dead.
Dead as dead could be.
Oh, my God.
- But it's very good. - How?
It was our target.
Oh, good.
He's our target!
So what did you? What did you do?
Got back in the car.
- Job well done. - Yeah.
Oh, wow.
You know, CIA never reimbursed me for that.
They're the worst.
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait. You were CIA?
Oh, yes. One of the best and brightest.
I need some more wine.
What happened?
She got burned by her superior
to cover up one of his mistakes.
Ended her career.
Nearly ended her life.
Tell me something,
Mr. Walker.
Yeah?
Why is Vicky helping you?
You're not a professional.
You're not even her type.
I'm blackmailing her.
Ah, leverage.
- Yes. - Very useful stuff?
Helps.
But that can't be the only reason?
If you haven't noticed, Miss Roberts
doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do.
This looked old and expensive.
We party tonight?
Let's go. More vodka, more wine.
We're getting out of here.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Is it true...
about the monument?
How could you?
We didn't want it this way.
Believe me, we had no choice.
You're terrorists.
They would have locked us up for the rest of our lives.
They would have locked you up.
I am not a part of this.
You are now.
Everybody out there trying to kill us,
they'll never see you as one of them.
They'll only see you as one of us.
You need to accept your place
among our people.
Your people are monsters.
No, Leila, they are the monsters.
No matter what we do, they will forever be against
our very survival.
Every generation of humans has proven this to be true.
We will always be unwelcome. We will always be hunted.
The unknown is always a threat.
There's nothing to be scared of.
I assure you no living thing has entered these caves
in thousands of years.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Aren't they beautiful?
What are they?
They're guardian angels.
For what?
Every civilization...
every religion has its own concept
of the guardian angel,
what it represents and...
what its function is here on earth.
And in every civilization, every religion,
they are reduced to metaphor, symbols.
When in fact, they are very...
very...
real.
I know that you're all afraid.
But right now, more than ever, we must stay calm.
Controlled.
We must show Martinez and his soldiers
that we are true to our word.
Ignore their guns.
Ignore their ignorance.
We are in this together.
A new day is upon us...
and we will emerge from this crisis
stronger than ever.
There are three buses.
David is in charge of the first,
Michael the second, Thomas the third.
It is time.
Go.
It should have been you up there.
You should be taking charge, giving the orders.
My mother's more than capable.
That's not what it's about.
It's about who our people listen to
and it should be you.
All I care about right now is what's right for my people
and so should you.
You're taking her side?
There are no sides anymore.
Get on the bus.
Keep moving.
I'm almost there.
Wait.
Got it. It's agent Lee's voice.
What the hell is going on?
Simon, I know how you're feeling.
All these years of working undercover...
Martinez had his military moving in on us.
Believe me when I tell you we had no choice.
Confirming troop presence on the south side of the street,
but they're standing down,
letting us pass without incident.
Thank you, David.
Please keep us informed of what you see.
Radio Sophia.
Tell her there's no sign of pursuit from the rear.
Do it!
We were so close.
I don't understand.
Why not just use the portal array
to transport yourselves out of the church?
No, the portal didn't have enough power.
We used what little fuel we had on the monument.
What do you mean?
My ultimatum to the President...
it's a bluff.
We're refueling the portal as quickly as we can,
but for right now... We're completely defenseless.
It's a bluff.
She was bluffing.
Dear God.
She was bluffing.
Take them out now. Elias.
You heard her.
If they refuel that portal,
they'll disappear forever.
This is our opportunity to end this.
Whoever is helping them with that portal,
they're still out there.
Once we engage, there'll be no turning back.
This will escalate into an all-out war.
I've tried diplomacy and failed.
I've tried restraint and lives were lost.
Now we have to fight back.
Take 'em out.
Any means necessary.
David, up ahead.
Thomas, Sophia, we've spotted an Apache helicopter.
Damn it. Are you sure?
Thomas, get a hold of Gerard.
See where he is with the portal.
Anything he can do.
How can Martinez put Washington at risk?
He knows.
Somehow he knows.
This ends now.
Gerard, what can you do?
I have enough fuel for one bus, that's it.
I can lock onto your location now.
There's no way out of this.
It's over, Thomas.
We will have to surrender.
No.
There's nothing more important than the survival
of our people and you're the best chance we've got
to finish what we started.
What are you talking about?
Gerard has enough power to open the portal for one bus.
I told him lock coordinates on you.
I'll run interference,
give him time to set the portal array.
Thomas, there has to be another way.
Leadership is discipline, sacrifice.
Thomas!
We have confirmation that Sophia's on the second bus.
The Apache is waiting for the go ahead.
Do it.
Overtake Sophia's bus.
Pull ahead of her now.
No.
No!
