"Previously on "The Lottery"..." "Someone within the government decided to turn the infertility research into a weapon." "Mr. Torino at 6880 D.C." "It's a D.C. plate number." "1973 Ford Torino." "Set up a meeting with Rojas." " You don't have to do this." " Set up the meeting." " What the hell are you guys after?" " We want the embryos." "Whoever controls the embryos controls the future." "I can't go back in there, Perry." "I'm dropping out." " What are they?" " Sedatives." "To help calm her nerves." "Help!" "Am I being set up?" "Let's just say you have a friend." "We gave her those pills." "Now, that is exactly what you are not going to say." "If they change venues, Darius, our plan goes to shit." "I think having this event at a hotel exposes him to unnecessary risk." " I'm trying to protect the president." " Have you talked to her about last night?" " Excuse me?" " Darius, she was right next to us." "It's about my father." "I think that he's up to something." "I'd like to see your phone." "I want to know who you called." "Rose left her phone at the restaurant." " What do you want?" " I just want the truth." "I want to know what my daughter told you." "I want to know where your daughter is." "She's safe." "Safe where?" "Vanessa, please." "She knows something." "You're trying to silence her." "Why do you think she knows something?" "She called me... scared." "I know what you're planning to do." "I'm planning to have a drink." "Would you care to join me?" "I love Rose, but she's an unreliable 20-year-old with a history of substance abuse." "She imagines many things that don't exist." "But I'm curious to know what it is exactly she told you." "Why does that matter?" "Why don't you just tell me what it is you believe?" "I believe you want to kill the president." "Kill the president?" "That's an extraordinary accusation." "I assume that you wouldn't make such a serious charge unless you could prove it." "But then again, if you could prove it, we wouldn't be here right now, talking." "That is what Rose wanted to talk to me about." "Wanted to talk to you." "So you two never spoke." "You never actually found out... why she called." "I'm not playing this game with you." "I know what you're trying to do." "I know what you've already done." "Here." "Have a drink?" "No." "You need to understand... that there's nothing you can do about it." "Same goes for Dr. Lennon." "I know what she and her friend James are up to." "Where's your daughter?" "Why is my father doing this?" "!" "Can you call him, please?" "!" "I really need to talk to him!" "Please?" "!" "Please?" "!" "Why don't you say something?" "!" "Alison... we need to talk." "I've gone through everything related to Ford Torinos..." "Torino registrations, Torino auctions." "he's hiding in here somewhere..." "Mr. Torino." " I know it, I know it!" " You need to stop." " What do you mean?" " Darius knows." "He is on to you." "He knows that you and James have been digging into this." "He knows that you're close to connecting him to the infertility crisis." "Right." "So he knows." "Sounds to me like he's scared." "I'm scared." "I'm scared for you." "You need to lie low." "If you know somewhere safe, go there." "SO1EO9 Mr. Torino" "The final day of the lottery is here." "Within hours, the competition will be over, and America will vote to determine the 100 lucky winners." "The guest list for tonight's lottery announcement has finally been announced, and to no one's surprise, one of the coveted invites belongs to Tyler Waters." "Tyler, among your myriad of technological innovations, you've made a fortune developing software for virtual babies." "How do you feel about the prospect of the real thing?" "Well, I'm worried about the competition." " Really?" " No, I'm joking, Jack." "I couldn't be more thrilled about our prospects for the future." "It's a great day for the country and for the world." "We're hitting the reset button on humanity." "You need to get out of bed and move forward." "Yeah, well, I'm not in the mood." "Angela's death is a tragedy." "But it's not your fault." "And it's not mine." "It's happened, and there's nothing we can do about it now." "You just need to focus on yourself." "The present and what's at stake." "The event is almost over." "It's just one final interview." "The winners will be announced tomorrow." "You're still going through with the ceremony?" "Of course we are." "The country is voting as we speak." "And you're doing quite well." "What about Angela?" "And her family?" "The coroner has determined that Angela's death was due to an accidental overdose." " They can take comfort from that." " How is that comforting?" "Perry, you and I made a deal." " You promised to transfer your child to me." " "Transfer"..." "God, you talk about it like it's a bus ticket or something." " And I promised to make you rich." " You promised to help Angela." " And I kept that promise." " Yeah, and now she's dead!" "You're so close to the end now, so close to being one of the 100." "All you have to do is keep quiet, and you will succeed." "We will succeed." "The people love you." "If they do, it's because I tell the truth." "I don't have talent." "I don't have money." "My truth is all I've got." "A detective is coming by later today to talk to you about Angela." "Do not mention the pills, understand?" "I can still get you out of this." "What are you talking about?" "I said I wanted to meet with Rojas." "I know what you said." "I'm a big girl, Kyle." "I mean what I say." "Hey, you told me yourself that this group, the Maytwos, that they're dangerous, right?" "That they're manipulative, that they're violent." "Elvis is my problem." "He's not yours." " I do not want you mixed up in this." "How?" " I'm already mixed up in all of this." "I'm being forced to lie about possible cures!" "Forced to promote a baby lottery!" "Look, I know you lost your son, and I can't imagine what that's like." "But with all due respect, you're not the only one on the wrong side of all of this." "Alison..." "listen to me." "I like you, okay?" "I really like you." "You're genuinely a good person, and I do not want you doing something that you're gonna wind up regretting." "And what about your career, huh?" "You've got an amazing career." "You're just gonna throw that away?" "What good is a career in a world that has no future?" "No stability." "People are going crazy over embryos... cells!" "We don't even know... if they'll end up turning into actual human beings." "And yet people are willing to lie, cheat, and kill for them." "So, if I can do something to help you get Elvis back... a real, living, beautiful little boy  I'm willing to do it." "You're not listening to me." "These people are dangerous." "Not as dangerous as the good guys." "Vice-President just confirmed the emergency extraction plan." "President will approach the hotel roof from the south exit," " and he'll depart via helicopter." " Copy that." " Do we have an approximate time frame?" " Not yet, but I'll know more later today." "So, if the plan is to take him out in the midst of an emergency extraction, we obviously need an emergency." "We'll take care of that, too." "There will be more protests tomorrow." "When the last winner is announced, one of Langdon's men will incite a riot." "If there are no takers, someone will fire a gunshot in the air." "No matter what, we'll do something to invoke the plan." "You get the target on the roof from the southern exit," "I'll take his ass out, guaranteed." " I know you will." "We're confident." " Thank you, sir." "I hope your men on the ground are good." "We need to make this look like the riot was their idea." "Don't worry about it." "I'll deliver on my end of the deal." "What about your end?" "What do you mean?" "Look, Darius... this is tough for me to talk about, but you told me your daughter had certain issues, all right?" " A problem with drug addiction." " Rose is fine, all right?" " She's doing better." " She's on new medication... antidepressants." "She's struggling to find her place." "She doesn't... have a future to plan for like we did." "As you might imagine, Darius," "I'm not too concerned about her career plans." "She won't be an issue." "Don't ask me again." "Jimmy?" "I'm Nick's sister." "He said he called." "1,000 bucks." "So, Nick said you want it to look real... but not be real." "Exactly." "So, you don't want a detonator?" "Right." "So, where do you want me to plant it?" "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Lennon." "I'm sure Kyle told you everything about who we are and what we believe in." "I didn't really get into specifics." "He said you want me to help you steal the embryos." "And he wasn't lying." " Who the hell do you think you are?" " Alison." "Those embryos... right now, that's our one and only shot." "They represent the future of our species." "Society." "So, what makes you think you and your group are up to that kind of challenge?" "We have a detailed, innovative vision for the future." "Right." "Well, it's gonna take more than a business plan." "Oh, trust me, we have a lot more than some business plan." "Like what?" "Like I told Kyle, we're financed by a... by a very powerful man." "Who is he?" "That's private." "So, you want me to help you... to give up classified information... but you're not willing to tell me who's financing your organization?" "We're done." "Hold on, Dr. Lennon!" "Let me call him." "He might be willing to meet with you." "Your authorized visitor has arrived." "Perry?" "I'm Detective Hunt, D.C. police department." "I need to talk to you about the death of your roommate." "Right." "Sure." "Found her on the bed, correct?" "I came in, and I..." "I thought she was sleeping, but... did you know she had been taking pills?" "Is that how she died?" "This feed is just for us, correct?" "Yes, right after Angela died we cut the live connection" "In the video footage, I saw a plastic bag." "Did you recall seeing something like that?" "It all happened so fast." "I don't... i don't know if..." "I remember." "Back to the pills, do you know where Angela got them?" "Where she got them?" "From what I understand, you guys are basically locked up here, right?" "You don't go outside, go to the bar, clubs." "So, I'm trying to figure out how she got the pills." "Oh, I'm so sorry." "Am I..." "Gabrielle Westwood." "Nice to meet you." "It's an honor, ma'am." "I'm so sorry to interrupt, Detective, but we need Perry for an important lottery event." "Would it be possible for you to resume this conversation later in the day?" "Shall we say 3:00?" "3:00 it is, then." "Perfect." "Thanks, ma'am." "Now we just need to find a way to end this investigation." "Where is Rojas and this powerful man of his?" "How's James?" "Stable." "That's it?" "His vitals are strong, so that's good." "But... the doctors aren't exactly declaring victory yet." "You two are pretty close, huh?" "Yeah, very." "How long did the two of you date for?" "He's still in love with you, Alison." "You can see it in his eyes." "Yeah, well, that doesn't make me feel any better." "It's not why he got shot." "I know that, but I... still, I..." "I should've been there, too." "We were working on this together." "Actually, he didn't want to get involved." "I was the one who persuaded him to keep looking, and... while he was looking, I was at home in bed with you." " Is that who I think it is?" " Yep." "That's the tech giant..." "second-richest man in the world." "Dr. Lennon, Kyle, this is my friend, Tyler Waters." "Hi." "Nice to meet you both." "Nice to meet you." "I read your book." "Oh." "Did you like it?" "The parts I understood." "Why are you doing this?" " Doing what?" " Financing a bunch of rebels." "Well, I'm trying to create change." "To do that, I need the embryos." "What do you want to do with them?" "Reshape the future." "Give man a chance to get it right this time around." "If you're gonna take a swing, you might as take a big one, right?" "Every invention involves from those that came before and all I try to do is add to that stream of innovation." "This island..." "I purchased it last year." "What's your point?" "This is where the new mothers will live and our new society will be born." "The world as we know it is coming to an end." "With or without these embryos, current society is unsustainable." "Wealth inequality has led to a permanent state of social unrest." "The economic models are broken." "The present value of any business or society is its future success." "You remove that future, and the value of that business or society collapses." "So you want to take the mothers, the kids, go swimming and drink piña coladas while the rest of civilization just gets flushed down the toilet?" "I want to create a better world." "I want to take these new children and as many other young children as I can gather and remove the detrimental effects of our society... fear, the violence, the dysfunctional political systems... and instead surround them with the best and the brightest." "Sounds pretty elitist to me." "Kick out the common man and start over with the wealthy, the young, and the brilliant." "Dr. Lennon, we're in the ninth inning." "There's no time for... for common people or common ideas." "These embryos, they are our last shot." "Oh, and it goes without saying that you would lead our scientific mission." "So, will you join us?" "Where's her office?" "Down the hallway, on your right." "Steve." "I just got your message." "What is it?" "ATF just found a half-assed bomb in a dumpster a block from the site of tomorrow's lottery announcement." "What else do we know?" "Nothing much there." "It didn't even have a detonator." "Huh." "So, how will this impact tomorrow night's event?" "We'll have to find a new venue." "No, that won't be necessary." "I thought that was standard operating procedure." "Well, if it's a credible threat, sure, but this was more of a prank than a legitimate attempt." "We'll take some new precautions." "So you will change the security plan?" "Just to be sure." "Good." "Thanks." "Yeah, Putnam." "Yeah." "I'll say it again." "I had nothing to do with this." "We all make mistakes, Sam." "We're not trying to destroy you." "We just want you to own your lapse in judgment." "And... apologize for your well-intentioned, but misguided, attempt to help this young and distraught girl." "We already talked to D.C. police." "They'll drop the investigation." "We'll put you on sixth-month paid leave." "It's like it never happened." "If you agree, of course." "If not... what can I say?" "I made a mistake." "I was trying to help her out." "Thank you, Sam." "Let me know when you hear something." "Well, I sure as hell hope not." "Clock's ticking here." "Good." "They found a goddamn bomb on "K" and 18th." "Secret Service is changing up their security plan." "That's correct." "Let's gather all the information we can and go from there." "I never go into battle without a plan." "We can't turn back." "When a battle starts and I'm about to send soldiers in, I don't take it lightly." "They're like sons and daughters to me." "Some of them... will not come back." "But you make the sacrifice for the greater good." "I understand." "Hey, Mike." "I want you to stay with Rose." "Put somebody out... at the front of the property." "Because general Langdon's planning to kill her." "This is the only reason I'm here... to get my son back." " Is the Department of Humanity driver?" " That's him." "I thought you said one of your guys was gonna be driving." "He was, but he got promoted." "Like I said, our people are the best." "What now?" "We follow him." "We know they're taking Elvis to Baltimore." "Yeah, but there are many ways to get to Baltimore." "This guy will know the road they're taking." "Now we just need to find a way." "Yes, I am telling you, we need extra security for the president the night of the lottery announcement." "Look, I know it's not my job." "That's why I'm asking you to authorize it." "The whole world will be watching." "We need this to go off without a hitch." "Thank you." "I thought I told you to lie low." "I know." "This has nothing to do with Mr. Torino." " I need to see the embryos." " Are you joking?" "They need to be inspected to make sure they're still viable." "Why would they not be viable?" "Well, there's a 3% chance of degradation in the preservation process." "And there may be other unknown variables." "We haven't had any human embryos in six years." "The only person who can authorize access to the embryos is the president himself." "I know." "That's why I came to you." "What are you really up to?" "Trying to save the world, just like you." "Can I have a word with Perry?" "Big night for you." "I just wanted to let you know that the investigation into Angela's death has been resolved." "Case is closed." "So, you just have your final statement left." "Just remind America why they love you." "I know you forced Sam to take the fall." "Sam did what was necessary." "Yeah, well, I'm going to do the same thing." "I can't carry around a lie." "It's not who I am." "Well... if that's your decision, then you should know that  I support you." " Really?" " Of course I do." "This is about your truth." "You can't go against that." "Well..." "Thank you." "Although, I will remind you, there's more than one truth." "The truth about Angela's family, for example." "Did you know her father needs a liver transplant?" " I..." "I knew he was sick." " He's still a relatively young man, but men like Angela's father, they don't just get livers... not without connections." "That family, they've just lost a daughter, and now after the devastation of that, to lose their father, it's..." "You are unbelievable." "So, I guess... the thing you have to ask yourself is... how important is your truth?" "Okay, this is our chance." "Looks good to me." "What's your plan?" "Eye drops?" "Yeah." "Eye drops." "Used to bartend." "Guy's being a douche bag, a couple drops in his drink will take care of him." "Trust me." "Can you get this guy's phone number?" "I think so." "Good." "Call him in exactly 10 minutes." "I'll take care of the rest." "Hey." "Be careful, okay?" "The guy's armed." "So am I." "With what?" "More rage than you can possibly imagine." "Seat taken?" "No, no." " Hi." " Hi." "Thanks." "Get a cup of coffee when you get a chance?" " How's the pie here?" " Pretty good." "You look familiar." "You live around here?" "Nah, I'm just, uh, in from St. Louis." "A little vacation with the fiancée, you know?" " Nice." " Yeah." "She's cute, huh?" "She's my type." "So you like 'em curvy?" "Bigger the curve, better the swerve." "I don't know what that means, but it sure sounds like a hell of a lot of fun." "Nice." "Okay, zoom out." " We can secure this location?" " Yes, sir." "I need a name and a phone number for one of the men guarding her." "Yes, sir." "Zoom in on her." "Hello?" "Mr. Kerris?" "Wrong number, brother." " Ohh!" "Sorry, man." " Mm." "Are you okay, brother?" "You look a little swervy." "I think I ate something funny. um... keep an eye on my seat, will you?" "So, Sam has agreed to the transfer?" "No more interviews, questions?" "Just talked to the captain." "It's a done deal." "Good." "Thank you." "Now, you want to tell me what really happened?" "Sir?" "You and I both know Sam didn't give that girl a bag of pills." "Sir..." "I don't want to betray any confidences." "I want to know what happened." "I'm not gonna ask you again." "Oh, come on." "Come on." " You okay?" " Yeah." "Thanks." "This yours?" "Think you dropped your phone." "Thanks." "Sure thing." "Can I get my bill?" "Good news is, the vice president just came through with the details on the new security plan." "Bad news is, I'm not sure the snipers are gonna have a clear shot." "Here's the new plan." "I'll pass it along to our friend." "Anything else I need to know?" "No." "Good." "You and I got a lot of history, Alan." "We go way back." "You got that right." "I remember when we were goose hunting two years ago." "You told me what you thought needed to happen." "I considered shooting you right there on the spot 'cause what you were proposing was high treason." "I'm glad you reconsidered." "But I knew in my bones, you were right, and you had the courage to say it." "If we're gonna survive as a country and as a species, we're gonna need a radical course correction." "You know, Darius, they say... all progress is driven by the unreasonable man." "You, my friend... might be the most unreasonable son of a bitch I've ever met." "Thank you, Alan." "We have to do whatever's necessary... to protect what we love." "ohh!" "Sir, given the promises we have made, it makes sense to allow Dr. Lennon to inspect the embryos." "Why is that necessary?" "To make sure they're still viable." "Well, they better damn well be viable 'cause we're about to implant 100 surrogates!" "I'm sure it's just a precaution." "We need to protect ourselves." "We don't want anything... unexpected." "Is that a..." "Torino?" "A real beauty, huh?" "She was beautiful on the inside, too." "Had a 7-liter cobra jet engine." "Man, she could fly." "Didn't know you were into cars." "Every man has his secrets." "We had some... adventures." "What happened?" "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." "I gave it away." "I'd finished a stint at darpa." "Had some unpleasant memories there, and I wanted to rid myself... of all the things that reminded me of that period in my life, so..." "I moved on." "Did you give it to charity?" "How did you know that?" "I mean... it's a... it's a good tax write-off." "I..." "I just... uh, so, Dr. Lennon..." "that's a yes on the embryos?" "I'll get back to her." "Hi, sweetie." "Why are you doing this to me?" "There was a threat, honey." "Somebody wanted to hurt you, but I..." "I wouldn't let that happen." "Ever." "I would never hurt you." "Do you understand?" "I would do anything to protect you." "Family is the most important thing to me." "And you're all I have." "If you want to go, go." " What happened?" " Nothing." "Let me look at that." "Perry sommers from brenham, Texas." "You've been tested physically, psychologically, emotionally." "The lottery competition's coming to an end, and in three hours, America will vote to determine if you're fit to raise one of the first 100 babies in six years." "What have you learned?" "Two weeks ago when I first heard my name announced," "I thought I'd won a contest..." "my ticket to Hollywood." "I thought it'd be fun to be famous." "Didn't really think much about the mother part, but... being here and really thinking about it..." "I think I'd make a pretty darn good mom." "If you're a mom, there's new tests every day." "You got to improvise, keep showing up." "Be all right with who you are, and if anyone's got a problem with that, screw 'em, because at the end of the day, you only have time to fight for what's most important... your family." " That was beautifully said." " And your friends." "I just lost a friend," "Angela Maria Perez." "She died two days ago, and I feel like a part of me died with her." "And there's something I would like to get off my chest and share with everybody watching." "There is no woman in this world who would've made a better mother than Angela." "And it is so sad that she is no longer with us." "Thank you, Perry." "I know what you did." "What in God's name were you thinking?" " Excuse me?" " Are you insane?" "I'm..." "I'm serious." "Have you lost your mind?" "Did you think you could get away with this?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "The lottery contestant who overdosed got her pills from the first lady." "I don't understand where you're coming from with this." "Let's just pretend that I'm the president of the United States, and I have a few connections." "But I would stop being the president when the people find out that my wife was using her influence to rig the lottery!" "Do you deny it?" "!" "Whatever you've heard... it's not what you think." "You're trying to buy off one of the finalists so you can have a baby?" "Gabrielle, I just need to know the truth." "Why not me?" "... damn you." "Tom..." "let me explain." "You actually think that you can get away with this?" " People will understand." " No!" "They will crucify me!" "Don't you get it?" "!" "First the fertility crisis, and now my wife is trying to steal a baby!" " I was doing it for us." "For you." " F... for us?" "!" "In troubled times throughout human history, people gravitate to authority and strength." "They crave symbols of stability and might." "They... they look to their kings and their queens... to restore order." " You're actually serious." " Tom... this wouldn't just be a baby." "This would be... your heir." "Your access... to the lottery center has been revoked." "You will show up  to the event wearing a pretty dress and a big smile, and that's it." "You will say goodbye to the winners, and you will never talk to this girl, Perry sommers, ever again." " Do you understand me?" " Yes!" "According to Dax's phone, this is the route they'll be taking to Baltimore." "Now, there's a service road blocked by trees right here." "There will be three vans... one, two, three." "Your son will be in the second one." "How do we stop 'em?" "We will use surprise and  and whatever force is necessary." "You're talking about killing people?" "Do you want to get your son back or not?" "What is it?" "What's the matter?" "You won't believe it."
