"Previously on Hostages..." "When are you speaking with the Vice President?" "I'm on my way now." "We're going to discuss potential running mates for his presidential campaign." "When I'm finished, you will be at the top of his list." "So you've made up your mind to run when Kincaid's second term is up?" "The only question is, are you interested in running?" "I have a business proposition for you." "I need a spy inside Duncan's operation." "What about the girl?" "She accept your offer?" "She's in." "The President is gonna be in New York today." "Another team is being assembled." "Sir, I've got a hit on Duncan Carlisle in New York." "15 minutes ago." "Son of a bitch." "He's trying to sabotage this whole thing." "Targets are down." "Copy that." "I can't believe you did it." "You came through for me, Ellen." "Without you," "I don't know what would have happened today." "Don't move!" "There's easier ways to get in touch with me, Logan." "Phone call, text, send me an e-mail." "We know what you did in New York." "People are very upset." "I'm upset too, now what?" "Not my call." "Agent Carlisle." "We've never officially met." "Thomas Blair." "I'm aware of what you and your team did in New York." "And I'm aware of what you and your team tried to do." "Should've stayed out of it." "If you had succeeded, that would've made me expendable, and we both know where that leads." "You're smart." "I'm also your best chance at getting this thing done." "We could still work together." "You already failed once." "Why should I believe you'll succeed this time?" "Well, for starters, I just took out your crackerjack sniper team." "And you're confident Dr. Sanders will come through for us?" "I'm positive." "And you're confident you'll hold up your end of the bargain?" "Dr. Sanders will need a certain amount of help in the operating room." "We need to talk about that." "What the hell does that mean?" "A problem has come up." "We need your help solving it." "Eh..." "About last night..." "Right." "I mean, everything's been so confusing and... heightened." "I know what I'm supposed to feel." "I'm supposed to hate you." "But, uh..." "I don't." "I'm glad to hear that." "Ellen, we can't." "We need to focus right now on what really matters, saving our families." "Yeah." "We're doing the right thing." "I gotta head out." "I just got a call from a detective." "About?" "The murder of that limo driver." "One of the detectives working on the case wants to talk to me about Jake's testimony." "What number did he call you on?" "My work number." "Called my secretary and she told me to call here." "Check it yourself." "Press redial." "Do you really want the DC police knocking on the door, asking where the hell I am?" "Archer will give you a ride." "Burton, hey." "I need you to check something out." "Right away!" "I'd like to talk to Detective Hall." " Is he expecting you?" " No." "What's it about?" "I'd rather talk to him directly." "He's in court right now, he should be back pretty soon." " Okay, I'll wait." " Follow me." "I thought we had a deal!" "We did, we still do." "I gave you $10,000 as a gesture of good faith and you screwed us." "I told you I needed to know where Duncan was, if he did anything out of the ordinary." "The man went to New York and took out a team of assassins!" "Not only did you fail to warn us, you went completely off line." "Listen!" "Duncan ordered me to shut off my phone." "Then he had me and another guy parked on a stake-out all day." "If I tried to call you, my cover would've been exposed." "You're saying you had no idea what he was up to?" "No." "Not a clue, I swear." "I'm gonna give you one more chance." "To save your ass and live happily ever after with your son in Canada." "What do I have to do?" "When this operation is over, we're going to eliminate a few loose ends." " A few?" " Three." "Duncan, Archer and Kramer." "Assuming you're on board, of course." "Otherwise, the number would be four." "I'm on board." "Hey." "Your lawyer's here." "Hello, Brian." "What are you doing?" "I'm here to help." "This is a police station." "When that detective comes in here," "I'm gonna tell him everything!" "You can't stop me!" "You're right, but hopefully I can convince you you're making a mistake." "I doubt it." "Patty Hearst, she was taken hostage, locked in a closet, and after months of abuse, her captors robbed a bank." "Patty Hearst was caught, on tape, helping them." "She was tried for bank robbery, and in spite of the fact that she was kidnapped and held against her will, she was convicted." " Well, this is different." " You're right, it's even worse." "You're crazy!" "Your wife injected the President with blood thinners, lied to the Secret Service." " Helped bury her friend..." " The police are going to believe us!" "Not you." " You think so?" " I know so." "Tough to prove you're a victim, when you're kissing the captor." "Congratulations, you've successfully doctored a photograph of my wife kissing Duncan." "No one's gonna think that's real." "There's video, as well." "It's real, Brian." "How's it going?" "I'm Detective Hall." "Hi." "So, what can I do for you?" "Well, after, um, consulting with my attorney," "I realize that the information I was about to disclose is inaccurate." "Excuse me?" "Sorry for the inconvenience." "I made a mistake." "I have nothing to say." "Where have you been?" "I've just been trying to call you." "You kissed him?" " What?" " I saw the photo, Ellen!" "Photo?" "What are you talking about?" "I went to the DC Police Department, I was gonna tell them what's going on." " What!" "You were gonna talk to the police?" " We need help, Ellen, okay?" "There's no other way out of this, so yeah, I went to the police, and Burton Delaney was there and he showed me a photograph of you and Duncan." "Kissing." "Is it real?" "Yeah." "Yes, we kissed." "Once." "God." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "I just, I was trying to convince him that I..." "I was willing to cooperate." "Oh, so, you kissed him?" "Is that what you're saying?" "I'm saying it just happened, okay." "I don't know why." "It just did." "I'm sorry, that's the honest truth." "Look, I understand things just happening, I do, but not with that son of a bitch!" "It's not what you think." "What the hell does that mean?" "He's doing this to save his wife." "Where's Sandrine?" "She went to see the lawyer about her son." "So, what's up?" " Where you been?" " Talking to our partners." "They know we took out their hit team." "They think, or they know?" " Know." " How?" "Let's just say these guys have lots of resources." "Good news is they don't hold a grudge." "The mission is still a go, but there's one slight hiccup." "A Secret Service agent named Jack Cahill, has just been assigned to the President's personal detail, and he's senior to our inside man." "Which means, Logan won't have operational control on the day." "Exactly." "Unless, we find a way to remove Cahill." "Not that easy to take out a Secret Service agent." "I didn't say we were gonna kill him." "I said, we need to remove him." "I have a plan." "Who cares why he's doing all this?" "The fact is he's doing it!" "And he's harming innocent people in the process." "To hell with his damn wife." "What makes her so special?" " She's dying, he loves her." " That doesn't justify killing someone." "Well, the only person who was supposed to die was Kincaid, that's it." "Ellen, listen to yourself, "The only person who was meant to die?"" "Like that's okay?" "Kincaid is a bad person..." "Says Duncan." "Well, I believe him." "I met with Nina's mom and she confirmed everything." "It's all true." "Okay." "Great." "It's true." "Kincaid's a monster, he's like, the most horrible guy in the world, but that doesn't mean that it's okay to kill him." "And Duncan's wife being sick doesn't entitle him to commit murder!" "Look, you know, I dunno, life isn't fair." "Okay?" "Good people die, bad people live." "There's no rhyme, no reason, no justification, it's just the way it is." "Well thank you, Colonel." "I don't mean to impose, but I was just in for a procurement meeting with one of the joint chiefs, so I thought I'd stop by." "No, I'm glad you did, Lyndon." "So, how are things going?" "You know how it is." "Wars are won and lost over the long haul." "Power is like business." "Lots of ups and downs, you just wanna make sure it all pays off in the end." "Now, this most recent setback has been a little disturbing." "And my company made substantial investments, with the understanding that OTI would continue." "It represents government contracts worth billions to us." "I have some good news on that front." "The President has decided to wait a few weeks to expose it." "That is good news." "Happy to walk you through the game plan, if you'd like?" "Oh, no." "Details make me nervous." "I just wanna make sure that we are all heading in a direction that is in our mutual best interest." "Oh, I understand." "Have faith." "The balance of power is shifting, soon." "Oh, son." "The balance of power is always in the same place." "Where the money is." " Thanks for meeting me." " Thanks for calling." "So, like I said on the phone," " I got some work for you." " Great." "This gig's a little different." "It requires discretion." "Discretion costs extra." "Not a problem." "What the hell were you thinking, going to the police?" "Screw you!" "You are minutes away from signing your own death warrant." "Go to hell." "Three more days, that's it, then we're gone." " Out of your lives forever." " I don't believe a word you're saying." "Your wife does." " Excuse me?" " Your wife." "Ellen." "She believed me." "Don't you ever talk about my wife!" "I hope you burn in hell." "I probably will." "But, that won't change a damn thing." "How did it go with your lawyer?" "Good." "He's trying to work out a custody arrangement." "It's not easy though, it's not like I can go to court and talk about my stable career." " So, your lawyer, he's based here?" " Excuse me?" "Just wondering since your son's in New York, thought you have a New York attorney." "You a family law expert, now?" "Just concerned about you." "You worry too much." "It's bad for the heart." "You're right." "Need to lighten up a little." "Relax, start doing yoga." "Drinking chamomile tea." "Getting homework done?" "Some, but, it's kinda hard to have focus on calculus these days." "This will all be over soon." "Look, um, I need a phone, one that can't be traced or listened to." "You think you can borrow one, from a friend?" "Mom said that we need to cooperate, that everything's gonna be okay if we just do what they say." "I know what Mom said." "But..." "Look, I need to make a phone call." "Your mother's doing what she thinks is right and I respect that, but I think I know a way out of this and I just gotta make a phone call." "Can you help me out?" "Clear a path!" "Make way!" "Hang in there." "Move, move, move." "Excuse me!" "He can wait." "This way, the neurosurgeon is waiting." "Hey, I got your page, what have we got?" "Multiple gunshot wounds." "Chest and legs." "He's losing a lot of blood." "We need to get him on the table." "Take him to OR four, we'll both scrub in." "So, what are the specifics?" "These are the specifics." "They're shaped charges." "They're small, powerful, and untraceable." "I need you to attach one to each vehicle." "What about the detonators?" "I'll handle that." "When the surgery is over, the team is gonna split up and disappear." "That's when the bombs are gonna go off." "I'll take care of it." "Take care of it today." "I met up with our girl." " All systems go." " Good." "But there's something else, D." "It's about Sandrine." "I think she's playing us." "What?" "She was acting suspicious, so, I followed her today." "Met a guy at the park." "Car with government plates." "I think she flipped." "If she flipped, we'd already be in prison." "So, she isn't talking to the Feds, who's that guy?" "What this guy look like?" "Like a fed." "Tall, fit, white, about 45." " Is this the man she was talking to?" " Yeah, that's him." "On the right." "Who is he?" "My contact at the Secret Service." "Why the hell is she talking to him?" "That's a good question." " Hey." " Hey." "Okay, I think I've got the last of the bleeders." "How are you doing?" "Still closing holes." "Looks like the bullet missed his major arteries." "He just might make it." "Vitals are stabilizing." "Hey, this is an operating room!" "Is that son of a bitch gonna live?" " Sir, please step out of the room." " My partner just died." "Your patient shot him in the face." "Just keep that in mind while you're trying to save his sorry ass." "What's going on?" "This guy ambushed two cops, during a traffic stop." "The one who got shot was a young father." "He just had his first kid." "You need to be careful around Sandrine." "Come on, Duncan, I'm not a kid." "I'm not worried about you getting your heart broken." "I'm saying you can't trust her." "What are you talking about?" "She's a criminal." "She plays by different rules." "You don't know her." "Neither do you." "I think she might be selling us out." "To who?" "Logan." "I don't buy that." "If she's selling us out, why'd she take out that sniper team in New York?" "I don't know." "In the meantime, I want you to take her with you and watch a guy named Steve Patterson." " What are we watching him for?" " Nothing." "It's a fake mission, but if she is working for the other side, word will get back to them." "I wanna see if Sandrine takes the bait." "How you doing?" "Fine." "Why?" "Just thought, after what happened in New York, if you wanted to talk about it." "There's nothing to talk about." "I did what I had to do." "If the two shooters had the drop on me, they would've put a bullet in my head in a heartbeat." "That's how it works." "Got it." "Duncan wants us to scope out this address." "Who lives there?" "Some federal prosecutor." "His name is Steve Patterson." "I'll get my gear." "We're losing him, what happened?" "I've got him all cleaned up here." "I pulled out a bullet fragment that was blocking his femoral vein," "I can't stop the bleeding..." "Push one cc of epi." "Close the bleeder, Lena." "I'm trying, Ellen." "There's too much blood." "I said epi now!" "He's gone, Ellen." "There's nothing we can do." "Okay, step out of the way." "What are you doing?" "Expose the patient, I need paddles." "Clear!" " There's too much damage." " Just give me some space." "Suction, roll of vicryl." "You did it." "I can't believe it!" "Close him up." "You ready?" "Just throwing my bag in the back." "Why are we staking out this prosecutor?" " It have to do with the limo driver?" " I don't know." "I gotta be honest, I can't forget that guy's face." "I can't get it out of my mind." "He was pointing a gun at me." "You saved my life that night." "Well, you'd do the same for me, right?" "Of course." "Ellen?" "I didn't mean to..." "I thought he was dead." "I certainly wasn't trying to kill him." "Well, you weren't trying to save him either." "Look, my hand aren't as good as yours." "I didn't think we could save him." "Not to mention, the son of a bitch is gonna die anyway." "He's a cop killer, Ellen." "He's gonna get the death penalty..." " What?" "That has nothing to do with us." " I know." "I was just saying..." "We're doctors." "Not judges, not jurors." " Hey." " Hey." "Still got the magic touch, huh?" " What's cracking, D?" "How ya been?" " I'm good, how 'bout you?" "Can't complain, man." " Kids?" " Killin' it." "Maggie's getting all A's, and Jack's playing football, starting quarterback." " Just like his old man." " Yeah." "Except better, and smarter." "Hey, thanks for meeting with me on such short notice." "I appreciate it." "Tell me what you need." "I'm working an undercover case, I need to put some pressure on a suspect." "Shake him down." "I need an arrest, nothing major, doesn't even have to stick." "Guy's name is Jack Cahill." "You in the bathroom?" "What the hell are you doing?" "Told you before, I need to know where you are at all times." "What you did today, going to the cops." "You're lucky Duncan didn't tell me to put you down." "You are definitely gonna be the hottest First Lady in recent history." " What about Jackie Kennedy?" " Not even close." "So, how did your meeting go with the Vice President?" "Very well." "He said he would be lucky as hell to have someone like you on his circuit." " Love you." " Mmm-hmm?" " Mmm-hmm." " Mmm-hmm." "One more thing, drop by the Attorney General's office and kiss his ring." "He and Vice President Grant are good friends." "I will make up a reason to pay him a visit this afternoon." "Good." "Just keep it quiet." "You don't want anyone to know that you're lobbying for this." "Are you Dr. Sanders?" "Yes." "That was my father, the man you saved." "Oh, well, he's gonna pull through." "I know my father has a lot of problems, um," "I don't know if he killed that police man or what, but either way, he's still a person, and he's still my father, so, thank you for taking care of him." "Scotch, please." "You look familiar." "You work for the Bureau?" "I used to, 20 years ago." "Where are you now?" "Secret Service." "Duncan Carlisle, FBI." " Jack Cahill, nice to meet you." " You too." "What division are you with?" "Crisis negotiation." "Good for you." "Has its moments." "You seen Sandrine?" "She came back with me a few hours ago." "She's around here somewhere." "Why?" "Just wondering." "Why don't you just focus on babysitting this one?" "Don't got anywhere, Brian." "I'll be right back." "Leave a message." "Hey, Sandrine, it's me." "Just checkin' in." "Call me when you can." "Come on, come on." "Hello?" "Hi, is this Nina?" "Yes, who is this?" "My name is Brian Sanders." "Um, do I know you?" "No." "I'm confused, why are you calling?" "What's this about?" "I know your husband, Duncan." "I'm calling, because... he's holding my family hostage." "Look, I know this sounds impossible, but, on the lives of my two kids, it is true, every word." "I don't believe you." "Is this some sort of sick joke?" "Look, my wife came to visit you the other day." "You thought she was an alternative doctor?" " That was your wife?" " Yeah." "Her name is Ellen Sanders." "She's operating on the President in three days." "Look it up online if you have to." "So, you're telling me that the President is..." "Your biological father, yeah." "And my husband," " is holding your family hostage?" " Yes!" "For the past two weeks." "Your husband has lost his mind." "Innocent people are dying." "You have to stop him!" "Now!" "What's making me crazy is the idea of losing you." "Some things are just beyond our control." "There are other ways." "Other choices we can make." " Is it legal?" " It's a chance." "Our only chance." "I know you're sick, but I don't care!" "If my family dies, it's on you!" "Not your father, not your husband, you!" "The hardest part about having a simple life, is being a spectator." "You wanna help, do something, but..." "I can relate." "My wife's in the hospital too." "She was in a car accident a few years ago." " She suffered some brain trauma." " I'm sorry to hear that." "You're right, though, about how tough it is." "Whether you like it or not, you, uh, you're helpless." "You just have to sit around and hope." "Easier said than done." "To getting through it." "Sorry, could you get that bartender's attention for me?" " No problem." "Phil?" " Yeah." "It's the same." "Okay if I squeeze in here?" "Be my guest." "I'm Nicole." " Jack." " Jack." "I always liked that name." "Never met a Jack who wasn't a decent guy." "Hello, Vanessa." "Lyn." "Hello!" "Always a pleasure." "How are you holdin' up?" "I'm okay." " But..." " What, what is it?" "Come here." "I'm a little concerned about Colonel Blair." "It's probably nothing, but I heard he was meeting today with the Attorney General." "Well, I'm sure he had a reason." "You would think so, but when I spoke to him, he..." "He lied." "He said he never left the office." "You don't think the Colonel's getting nervous and looking to cut a deal?" "Well, either it's a coincidence or it's a problem, and as I don't believe in the former, I'm gonna presume that it's the latter." "So, let me make a few calls." "See what's going on." "We split up about a year ago." "He was a nice guy, he was just selfish." "All he talked about was his job and his problems, I just..." "I felt like I was all alone." "Well, you have to talk, laugh, connect." "I mean, that's the whole point of being with someone, right?" "Exactly!" "I'm gonna get out of here." "Good to meet you." "You too." "Well, are you sure this guy's hooking up tonight?" "He should be heading out any minute." "Who is he?" "Off-duty Secret Service agent." "It's complicated." "Okay, fine." "Forget I asked." "So, how's Nina doing?" "Any better?" " I think she's gonna pull through." " Really?" "I'm thrilled." "I, you know..." "You know, to tell you the truth, uh, I was afraid to ask." "I'm happy for you." "Thanks." "There he is." "Thanks for giving me a ride." "No problem, it's on my way." "I live over on Capitol Hill." "Thank you." "Um, I'm sorry, but I'm married." "I should've said something earlier." "Well, I won't tell if you don't." "I'm flattered but, uh," "I can't." "It's a long story." " You're not attracted to me?" " No!" "You're beautiful, trust me." "Just..." "I love my wife." "Well, that's really sweet." "I could still give you a ride home, there's no rule against that." " Please step out of the vehicle." " What for?" "Sir, please step out of the vehicle." "DC Police." " We were just talking, Officer." " Just keep your mouth shut." "You're facing solicitation charges, so just sit tight..." "Whoa, whoa." "Solicitation?" "Look, you got things mixed up, fella." " He was just gonna give me a ride..." " I'm not gonna ask you again." "Get out of the vehicle now!" "Just relax, I'll handle this." "Listen, you don't have to raise your voice, okay?" "Look, just let me explain, all right?" " You don't have to explain anything." " You're under arrest." " Look, tough guy." "I'm just gonna show..." " Whoa." "Don't touch anything." " I'm just gonna show you..." " Keep your hand away from the gun." "Hi." "Amelia just called." "You don't have her phone, do you?" "Yeah." "I stole it." "Why?" "Because, Dad said he needed a phone that couldn't be traced." "I think he has a plan to get us out of this." "A plan?" " I thought Mom told us to cooperate?" " She did, but" "I don't know what's going on with them." "I think..." "Hey." "How was work?" "I had a patient with a very complicated surgery." "Did he die?" "No." "So, what about us?" "Do you and Dad have a plan, or?" "We're gonna make sure you're safe." "Does that mean you've decided to kill the President?" "I heard what happened." "Little more drama than I was expecting, but a win is a win." "An honest cop got shot." "That's not a win." "I apologize, but we accomplished what we set out to do, discredit Cahill." "There's no way he stays on the President's detail after this." "Dead cop, a career hooker in his front seat." "So, despite the loss of your colleague..." "Friend." "My friend." "Despite the loss of your friend, this was an operational victory." "We're back on track." "Logan will be in charge of the detail." "We're in this together." "You and me." "One more thing, why do you have two of your people following a federal prosecutor named Steve Patterson?" "How did you know that?" "You forget?" "I'm with the NSA." "Steve Patterson is part of an ongoing FBI investigation, we think he might be playing ball with a drug cartel." "Like you, I'm working two jobs right now." "So, I had to outsource my surveillance work to a few of my team members." "Good." "I thought you were getting cold feet." "My feet are just fine." "Archer?" "Sandrine took the bait." "She's working for the other side." "A hero is strong." "A hero does things nobody else is brave enough to do." "A hero is a good person, who wants to make sure that people are safe and don't die." "That's why my dad is a hero." "Thank you, honey." "Thank you." "Just checked my voicemail," "Nina called, several times." "She's been trying to reach you." "I told her everything." "She's the only one that can stop this madness." "No, she's not." "I can." "I was wrong." "I mean, I'm a doctor." "What was I thinking?" "I need to tell him I won't do it." "I am so sorry, Brian." "You were right." "I just, lost myself." "I love you." "What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "I talked to Brian Sanders." "He told me what's going on, what you've done to his family, what you're planning." "Is it true?"
