"Previously on The Event." "What do you want?" "Dempsey played us both." "You need to tell him how he was behind trying to kill the President." "I was manipulated by a very powerful man." "Who is it?" "It was..." "You're going to give me the name, or I'II make sure you pay for it." "I'm the Vice President and that's the way it's going to stay." "The boy, what's his name?" "Sean Walker." "I have a feeling that this Mr. Walker and I will cross paths again." "These people tried to have the President killed." "Don't you want to stop them?" "You can't run away, little guy." "This is Samantha." "Come in." "My daughter Leila." "This is Mr. Geller." "MICHAEL:" "You and Sam will be safe here." "Once we use the portal to bring our people here, then we will own it all." "Sophia, you have to stop him." "I don't know where he is." "I trusted you." "And once again, it was all lies." "No, it's not what I intended." "We broke through the encryption." "She's somewhere in San Francisco." "I want her." "Mr. President, in the past, you've always taken the use of force off the table." "She has played me for a fool for the Iast time." "May God rest her soul." "Sir, it's a communications satellite." "They're sending a message home." "(MIMICS EXPLOSION)" "Oh, no." "(SIGNAL BUZZING)" "The spikes are concentrated at the same frequencies." "What do you think?" "Could be radiation from those stellar flares AItair has been throwing." "With that level of intensity and regularity?" "No." "No." "That's not AItair talking." "Look." "See?" "There's a pattern, and it is aimed right at us." "This is some kind of message." "We have to call the NSA right now." "This is exactly the kind of anomaly they asked us to look out for." "slow down." "Before we start ringing alarms," "let's check if it matches an elliptical orbit first." "Chances are it's nothing." "AII right, all right." "You reposition the telescopes to the frequency, and I'II punch up Nova." "Come on." "Show me!" "Show me!" "Show me!" "It's a message." "I was right." "(GUN FIRES)" "Yes, you were." "Careful!" "You drop these rods, you could irradiate this entire airfield." "Thomas, it's Anthony." "He says it's urgent." "What is it?" "We received a response to the message you sent home." "So what does it say?" "Anthony!" "It's complicated." "What does it say?" "AII right." "Copy all the data we need, and wipe everything clean, and get out of there." "The government can't know about the message." "What is it?" "Something terrible's happened back home." "The girl in the purple sweater." "MATRON:" "You're sure?" "Oh, yes." "She's one of the special ones." "I'II be leaving for the airport in..." "Well, pretty soon." "I'd Iike her in our possession by the time I get back." "Of course, Dr. Dempsey." "I'II make sure that we have some of the extract waiting for you." "Oh, good, yes." "It's important I stay in good health." "Now more than ever, so that I can see this through." "Here you go." "Thank you." "Is that for catching butterflies?" "For turtles." "They live in the pond." "I bet there are a Iot of turtles in there that would Iike to come home with you." "Really?" "Sure." "Everything has to leave home sometime." "Walker." "I'm not here to kill you, so don't overreact and try something stupid because I will shoot you." "Back up." "What do you want?" "I want to know who you've been working for, the people behind everything." "They need to be stopped, and you're gonna help me stop them." "You made a big mistake coming here." "How did you find me?" "You were careful covering up your tracks, but your mother wasn't." "She used her old cell phone the Iast time she called you here, so, once I had that, tracking down where you were was easy." "Nice work." "Now put down the gun before I take it from you and make you sorry." "You're going to help me take down the people you work for, because you might not care about the things they've done, but I do." "And somebody has to stop them." "Quit fooling yourself." "Back up." "You're a kid, not a man." "Stop." "They've taken everything from me, and I'm not going to run from them any longer." "So let's start with names." "Who are they?" "Or what?" "You're going to shoot me?" "I think I'II take my chances." "Because what you're talking about trying to do is suicide." "Well, it's not your own life you need to be worried about." "What are you talking about?" "I know your mom is still taking care ofyour son." "Their location will go viral on the Internet unless you give me those names." "And I guarantee it will make its way into the wrong hands." "You're lying." "The virus is controlled by a code" "I enter into my phone every two hours." "So if I'm not alive to enter it, your family's address gets released." "So the names." "Who am I looking for?" "There's only one." "James Dempsey." "He's a billionaire and one of the most powerful men in the country." "But knowing who he is isn't going to do you any good." "Why not?" "Because I already tried taking him down and couldn't." "Since then, Dempsey's vanished." "Nobody even knows where he is." "You really tried to stop him?" "How?" "By using the Vice President." "He and Dempsey were in bed together on the assassination attempt of President Martinez." "Vice President Jarvis was part of the conspiracy?" "I tried convincing him to go public." "And if he can't stand up to Dempsey, what chance do you think you have?" "I don't know, but I'm going to find out." "And ifyou care about your family, you're going to help me." "We know the sleepers are now in possession of the uranium rods, which, if our intel is correct, puts them one step closer to accomplishing their goal, bringing more of them here." "Now, I take full responsibility for what has happened." "But make no mistake, the consequences of that, an invasion, falls on all of us." "Which means from now forward there can be no more mistakes." "From me, or any of you." "The stakes are simply too high." "We must stop Thomas and Sophia before it's too late." "Now, I want an update on Sophia." "Where are we on narrowing her location in San Francisco?" "We are still waiting for her phone to be activated again." "As soon as she makes or receives another call, we'II be able to pinpoint where she is." "In the meantime, we've mobilized a Direct Action Unit consisting of Special Ops Forces supported by every local law enforcement agency." "ELIAS:" "Local law enforcement?" "No, no, no." "We've had Sophia escape from under our noses before." "I won't let that happen again." "No more mistakes." "I want the best on this." "General, who are the best men you have stationed in the vicinity?" "The Marine 4th Force Reconnaissance Company out of alameda, sir." "Good." "Prepare to deploy them." "They should provide adequate support." "You know that I cannot do that, sir." "The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of United States military forces on U.S. soil except for the case of a natural disaster, sir." "Thank you, General, I'm well aware of federal law." "I'm also aware that when Congress passed Posse Comitatus, nearly 130 years ago, they weren't accounting for the threat we're facing right now." "So don't question me." "Just do it." "GENERAL:" "Of course, Mr. President." "ELIAS:" "So they'II work with local law enforcement and with our Special Ops team." "ELIAS:" "blake, could you brief the team now..." "I'm sorry to interrupt." "WHITE HOUSE TECH:" "Mr. Vice President." "(GROUP APPLAUDS)" "WHITE HOUSE TECH:" "Welcome back." "RAYMOND:" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you very much, one and all." "RAYMOND:" "please." "Thank you." "General." "glad you're back, sir." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "It's good to be back." "Thomas played me perfectly." "He knew I'd call Martinez and convince him to move the uranium." "Now he has everything he needs to power the portal, and he's managed to completely discredit me in Martinez's eyes." "You reached out to Martinez when you didn't have to." "Maybe on some level he knew you were telling the truth." "No." "In his eyes, I'm part of the enemy now." "There's nothing I can do to convince him otherwise." "(CELL PHONE BUZZING)" "Who has that number?" "Hello?" "THOMAS:" "Sophia." "I wouldn't contact you if I had a choice." "But there's something important we need to discuss." "I don't think there's anything left to talk about after what you've done." "Just hear me out." "please." "You're aware of the message I sent home?" "Yes." "Well, we got a response." "And it changes..." "It changes everything." "We can't afford to be divided any longer." "Thomas, what are you talking about?" "What was in the message?" "I can't explain now." "This needs to be in person." "Do you actually think I'm foolish enough to accept your offer?" "Not just you." "Everyone." "I'm gathering all of our people." "This is something they all need to hear." "The future of our race hangs in the balance." "I don't believe you." "Then your people will hear what I have to tell them without you." "Thomas..." "I'll be sending a text with the location of the meeting soon." "I hope you're there." "RAYMOND:" "Mr. President." "You asked to see me?" "close the door." "What do you think you're doing here?" "EIi, things..." "Things have gotten worse since I Ieft." "Don't you think it's time we put what's happened behind us?" "Yeah." "See, Ray," "I may not be able to keep you from walking into this building, but I can make your life a living hell once you do." "So, no, no." "I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear you," "I don't want to get a damn whiff of you." "Do you understand me?" "After what happened, you don't exist." "In all due respect, Mr. President, nothing has happened." "Nothing on record, anyway." "I ran on this ticket to serve my country, to do what I think are in its best interests, and I plan to continue to do just that." "You try and stop me, and I'II be forced to expose everything you've been so carefully trying to cover up." "What'd you expect me to do?" "Stay home?" "Cower under my desk until our term expires?" "I don't think so." "I may have to tolerate you, Ray, but trust me, you don't want to bait me." "What do you think you're doing?" "You stay the hell out of my way." "Mr. President," "I'm sorry to interrupt." "But there's news about Sophia." "Mr. President." "At ease." "Tell me what you have." "Sophia, or her cell phone at Ieast." "We were able to get a location on it because she just received a call." "ELIAS:" "Are the Marines on their way?" "Yes, sir." "They're dressing as civilian law enforcement, so as not to attract any unneeded attention." "Good." "So, as soon as you're sure it's her, take her alive if you can." "But if you can't..." "Yes, sir." "Do you have any idea how hard it is to gain access to the Vice President?" "Especially now, since Dempsey tried to kill him?" "Well, we'II just have to figure out a way." "Oh, okay." "Good." "Good plan." "When you see signs for a place that might have Internet, pull over." "Until then, I want to know more about Dempsey." "How much do you know about the girls he's abducted?" "Like the fact that they're not human?" "Then you know?" "About the aliens?" "It's the reason why he tried assassinating Martinez in the first place." "He didn't want the President releasing them." "Dempsey tried to keep the experiments on the girls a secret." "When I found out, I knew I had to leave." "I'm surprised he could do anything to offend you." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Do I have to list the things you've done since I met you?" "Kidnapping, murdering innocent people." "You think you know me, but you don't." "That's my point." "You make absolutely no sense to me." "My dad left my mom when I was a kid." "I don't even remember him." "But I remember my stepdad." "He was a real bastard." "Started hitting my mom from pretty much the word go." "It went on like that, until one day, I had enough." "So when he started wailing on my mom," "I went into the drawer where I knew he kept his gun, and I took it out," "and I shot him." "I don't know what to say." "I'm sorry." "Well, don't be." "Because that whole sob story?" "I made it up." "(LAUGHS)" "There's no reason I am the way I am, Walker." "I just came out this way." "(KNOCKING AT DOOR) Come." "I hope I'm not disturbing you again." "Depends." "Any word on Sophia?" "No." "Not yet." "But that's not why I'm here." "We haven't had much time to talk since I got back from Inostranka." "I wanted to check in to see how you're doing." "Stop beating around the bush, blake." "You saw me confronting Ray, and you're worried that I'm..." "I'm losing it." "To put it bluntly, yes." "But it's not just that." "Your decision to suspend Posse Comitatus, that's not Iike you." "That's exactly the point." "I'm not sure that I follow." "Well, Sophia and her people have been locked up in Inostranka for 66 years until I tried playing the great emancipator." "And we all know how that worked out." "EIias, you can't blame yourself for everything that's happened..." "It's the truth." "Let's not sugar-coat it." "Now, if I'm going to fix the mess I've gotten us into, then I need to change me." "Don't interrupt me again until you have something on Sophia." "Yes, Mr. President." "So what am I supposed to do when you die?" "Excuse me?" "Well, you're not getting out of this thing alive, which means, eventually, my family's information gets released." "And it's not just you that dies, it's my mother and my son, too." "I guess you better figure out a way to keep me alive, then." "I think I found something." "What is it?" "It's an article online." "It says Jarvis is back to work at the White House today." "Ifyou think I'm getting us into White House, you're crazy." "No." "But it also says that he's attending a party fundraiser later tonight." "Where?" "The Ambassador Hotel, downtown Washington." "Can you hack the guest list?" "Come on, that's got to be nothing compared to hacking the Pentagon mainframe as a sophomore in high school." "I was a junior." "But how did you know that?" "You were my target once, remember?" "I don't do any job without doing my research first." "Even if I add our names or aliases, for that matter, there's no way we'II ever be vetted to get in." "That's why we're going to find people who've already been vetted for us." "Ted?" "What time does the fundraiser start?" "With the money we paid, I don't want to be late." "7:30." "We need to get there a Iittle early to get through that security screening." "Have you seen my cuff links?" "Did you check your jacket pocket?" "Got them." "(KNOCKING AT DOOR)" "Did you call down for something?" "No." "Hi." "I think you have the wrong room." "Oh, no, no, no." "I locked myself out of my room." "I'm so sorry to bother you." "I was just wondering if, if it's at all possible, I could use your phone for a quick second to call down to the lobby?" "Of course." "Of course." "Come on in." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Down on your knees." "Do it." "Just don't hurt us." "(KNOCKING AT DOOR)" "Just cooperate, and we won't have to." "Their invitations and IDs?" "On the couch." "Here." "Remember, make sure you get a clear impression." "Any flaws and we're not getting past security." "(WHIMPERING)" "Status?" "Here." "AII right." "Pack it up." "Jarvis knows what I Iook like, so I still have to change my appearance." "What are you doing?" "What do you think I'm doing?" "Wait, wait, wait." "They're innocent." "They saw our faces." "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "You're not doing this." "(WHIMPERING)" "What do you think the message is?" "I don't know." "CARLOS:" "But I think we owe it to ourselves to go to this meeting, and see what Thomas has to say for himself." "DIANE:" "I don't trust Thomas." "And neither should you." "Well, listen, whether you do or not, fact of the matter is" "Thomas is gaining more and more power." "I don't want this anymore than you do, but... (CELL PHONE BUZZING)" "DIANE:" "What is it?" "It's a text with the location of the meeting." "Where is it?" "Look, it's Los Angeles." "I'm going to go, okay?" "You don't have to." "Leila and Samantha shouldn't be alone anyway, right?" "Be careful." "Of course." "Okay." "(CELL PHONE BUZZING)" "I just got the text." "So have many others." "Thomas has everyone worried about what the message might be." "The few I've talked to will go to the meeting." "Thomas' agent did intercept a return message." "Murdered his partner in order to make sure it stayed a secret." "Then I have to go." "I don't have a choice." "Our people are starting to be swayed by him." "It doesn't matter what the message is." "I can't give Thomas the opportunity to solidify his power over them." "He already tried to kill you once." "He won't try that again." "Not there." "He can't risk turning too many of our people against him." "Michael, I'm not going to force you to come with me." "But I'm going, I have to." "Then so am I." "Good." "Good." "General Armbruster, you have permission to proceed." "Take her down." "Sir." "BLAKE:" "Just a moment, sir." "ELIAS:" "What is it?" "Is there a problem?" "We just intercepted an SMS communication sent to Sophia." "It's part of a communication blast." "It went out to over 200 other phones." "What's it say?" "It's too heavily encrypted." "There's no way to know." "Target is on the move." "She's with Michael Buchanan." "The pilot." "He must be one of them, too." "What's he up to with Sophia?" "We'II find out when we take them down." "Prepare to go on my command." "She's holed up all day waiting for something." "She receives a text message and then she goes." "Mr. President?" "Well, it's not just a coincidence, she left because of it." "How many other people did you say received that text message?" "Just over 200." "Let me see." "So this message could be instructions" "or a location." "They could be meeting." "Tell your men to back off." "Mr. President?" "What are you doing?" "Do it." "Now." "GENERAL:" "AII teams pull back." "Pull back immediately." "This is your chance." "You said it yourself, we can't let Sophia get away again." "And we won't." "General, follow her." "Don't let her out of your sight." "Not even for a second." "I don't want just Sophia." "This is our chance to get them all." "Personal items in the tray, please." "Stop it." "What?" "Stop looking so nervous." "We want them to think we belong here." "Invitations and IDs, please." "Yes." "Personal items in the tray, please." "Mrs. Fisk, right thumb on the scanner, please." "Have a great evening." "Mr. Fisk, please." "Is there a problem?" "Again, Mr. Fisk." "Thank you, Mr. Fisk." "Absolutely." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you, sir." "SEAN:" "There he is." "You're ready?" "Yeah." "You better be." "Hi." "It's good to see you." "Thank you so much for coming." "It's so wonderful to see you're well." "Thank you." "Thanks again." "Thanks again for coming." "AII the best." "Mr. Vice President?" "Ted Fisk." "This is a big honor." "Ted, it's my honor as well." "And thank you for your support." "No problem." "This is my wife." "Oh, we've met." "You do anything to signal the Secret Service, and I pull the trigger." "You'II be dead before you get out a word." "You might wanna smile and laugh," "like she just said something charming." "So, it's nice to have you here." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Now you're going to tell your detail leader that you need a minute alone." "Do it." "J.R., I'm just gonna need a moment with my friends." "Yes, sir." "Right this way." "After you, sir." "Apostle is headed into a secured room." "Keep your posts." "(BANGING ON DOOR)" "What are you doing here?" "What do you want?" "Ask him." "You're gonna help me take down James Dempsey." "James Dempsey?" "Why are you asking me about him?" "Don't waste my time." "I know everything." "That you helped Dempsey try to assassinate the President." "No, no." "It wasn't that simple..." "Okay." "I don't care." "I don't care." "I just want the proof that will put him away." "The last time I came forward against Dempsey, he almost killed me." "And now he's threatening my wife and children if I talk." "Besides which, I don't have any proof, any actual proof." "It's only my word against his." "There has to be something." "There isn't." "Don't you understand?" "There isn't anything you or anyone else can do." "Hey, keep your voice down." "(BANGING ON DOOR)" "MAID:" "Hello?" "Is everything okay?" "(TED GRUNTING)" "Oh, my God." "What happened?" "(EXCLAIMING)" "Who did this to you?" "Call 911." "please." "Tell them the Vice President's in danger." "You got to know something that we can use against him." "I told you, there isn't." "Then at Ieast tell us where he is." "I told you I don't know." "And how much longer do you think it will be before they come looking for me?" "He's right." "We don't have much time." "Give me the gun." "My name is Sean Walker." "And the monster that you're protecting has hurt and killed who knows how many people." "He's framed me for murder." "Because of him, I've lost everything and everyone that I care about." "So right now, I have nothing to lose." "So, you're going to give me something that will help take Dempsey down, or I will put a bullet in your head, do you understand?" "Do you?" "Okay!" "AII right." "What?" "He just left the country." "Go on." "He left for France this morning." "That's it, France?" "Somewhere in the Jura Mountains." "That's all I know." "I swear!" "A call just came in." "We have a security breach." "Harden up around the VP now." "We've got a potential imminent threat against Apostle." "What's he doing there?" "I don't know." "please, leave me." "AGENT: (KNOCKING) Mr. Vice President, open the door, sir!" "VICKY:" "We need to go." "Now!" "He's not responding." "Stand back." "Mr. Vice President, are you all right?" "They're getting away!" "That way!" "(AGENTS SHOUTING)" "BLAKE:" "Sophia arrived at Union Station 20 minutes ago." "Do we have even a guess as to where she could be headed?" "No, I'm afraid not." "But there's no indication she knows she's being followed." "So whatever's going on, she should lead us right to it." "Sophia is here." "She's reached her destination." "What do we know about it?" "WHITE HOUSE TECH:" "St. Andrew's Cathedral." "It's been vacant for years." "According to the record, it was bought by a developer six months ago." "AII right." "I want to know who." "And I want schematics on it and every other building within 10 city blocks right away." "Yes, sir." "Devon." "Carlos." "Hey, man, it's good to see you." "You, too." "It's been a Iong time." "Can we tell how many people are in it?" "Just a few moments, Mr. President." "Splitting satellite feed to infrared." "I'm picking up about 200 heat signatures." "You were right." "They're meeting." "Move your men into position, General." "This is your new target." "Hello, Thomas." "Mother." "I'm glad you came." "You, too, Michael." "I'd Iike to speak to you about this privately first." "No." "No more secrets." "We should get started." "alpha Team?" "How long before you're in position?" "Good news, Mr. President." "What is it?" "This archival footage from a closed-circuit camera outside the church..." "I don't understand." "What am I looking at?" "That man, there?" "That's Thomas." "He's inside the church right now." "You all know my mother and I have had our differences." "Well, the reason why I brought you today is to tell you that we can't afford to be at odds with each other any longer." "The message I recently sent home has been answered." "And the response is not one any of us will want to hear." "We've all known for some time that our planet's days were numbered." "Unfortunately, our calculations were wrong." "According to the message I received, our sun has started going supernova." "(CROWD MURMURS)" "I know this is much, much sooner than we'd anticipated." "But it is happening." "The first wave of lethal gamma rays will reach our solar system in the next two weeks." "In less than a year, our planet will be uninhabitable." "And if we don't migrate, our civilization will cease to exist." "My plan to bring thousands of our people here is now obsolete." "I have visual." "One guard at church entrance." "Roger that." "The only choice we have now is to bring everyone here, to make this place our home." "This planet is the only chance we have of survival, and we're going to seize it before it's too late." "We have a big problem." "What is it?" "Thomas, what's going on?" "Where are you going?" "The government's here." "AGENT:" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!"
