Crisis

Previously on Crisis:

We know that CIA Director Widener is a close friend.

How do you know me?

We know everything. About all of you.

To save your daughter's life,

what will you do?

Hey!

What are you gonna do with these soldiers?

Ask your partner's sister.

Let me come to you, we can talk.

You have those soldiers. That's what you want.

The project went bad.

I had to keep my company clean of it.

Jonas was connected to it, so I...

severed that relationship.

Does your husband know you were screwing him?

I tracked him down.

I shouldn't have pushed you.

It's better I know the truth, right?

This one here

is not good enough for you

to even look at.

That you're not good enough.

He will kill you, Ian.

He will kill you.

Dunn, look at this.

These are those two soldiers.

These are the two guys who are gonna

kill innocent people in D.C.

So is Gibson the hostage,

or the kidnapper?

There's a downed power line up ahead.

Gonna hold you fellas up here just a minute.

Day five of the Ballard School kidnapping.

Three students have been released,

and now there are unconfirmed reports

that the death of a Ballard parent

by the CIA was kidnapping-related.

Keep the IVs going. We hold them here for a day,

then we take 'em to Gibson when we know we're clear.

We won't be able to get a signal out,

but the CIA won't be able to see under the power lines.

I'll take first watch. You good?

If you call being in the middle of nowhere

in a metal box with two black ops soldiers

the CIA is desperately trying to find good...

I'm great.

All right.

You're on speaker. I'm here with Legal.

Just so it's official and none of us

go to jail, we will do this once for the record.

State your names.

Agent Marcus Finley.

Agent Susan Dunn.

Now, after I sign off on this,

we will begin an operation

to lure a kidnapper or kidnappers

out of hiding,

using information seized last night in a raid

on the residence of Jonas Clarenbach.

And what's the nature of this information?

Files having to do with the Central Intelligence Agency.

We know the kidnappers are fixated on the CIA

and we have reason to believe

they will come for these files.

And have those CIA files been processed yet?

Not yet.

My agents understand that those files

may contain information

that we don't necessarily know the meaning of.

And you're willing to expose these unvetted files

to the kidnappers?

A dummy file would tip off the kidnapper.

If he comes for it and get spooked,

he never goes back to where he came from.

We need to set the trap, follow him back to the kids.

And how will he know the file is in your possession?

There's a drain on the Ballard School surveillance cameras.

Untraceable, but we believe the kidnapper

has been monitoring our daily parent meetings there.

Sir?

Are we a go?

Do it.

What's up?

Go on, I'll catch up.

Beth Ann, do you trust me?

I know you don't trust anybody, but...

do you want to trust me?

Yeah.

Yeah, I d... I do.

I'm gonna get us all out of here.

What? How?

I'm gonna set this place on fire.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Something to do with that text you got?

No.

Okay.

Get ready; they're almost all here.

No, it's simple. When I want to see you,

I'll post a review on the message board.

Same when you want to see me.

Look out, a guard is coming.

Okay. He's gone.

After you start the fire, then what?

Smoke.

I smash a window, let the smoke out.

Maybe someone out in the world sees it and calls 911.

Maybe it'll get you beaten up like Jin Liao.

Maybe it'll get us all killed.

I get that you're scared.

It's okay.

But I'm doing this whether you help me or not.

The FBI's back at Ballard, briefing the parents.

This is gonna be rough.

Yeah, with no information,

it's gonna be hard

not to think the worst about their kids.

Maybe we should just tell them.

Tell them what?

That we think one of their own might be involved.

The file we took from Clarenbach

needs to be processed first.

We need to figure out

what Gibson has to do with those soldiers.

How long before the techs get through

processing that file?

What?

I didn't exactly turn it in yet.

I still have it.

In your possession?

In my apartment. Just hear me out.

Okay, once that file goes in for processing, it's in the system.

Once it's in the system, the CIA knows we have it.

They're only gonna get in our way.

12 hours.

We work that file, just the two of us,

for 12 hours, and then we turn it over.

Let's get this done first.

Excuse me!

Would everyone please take their seats.

Open a line for me.

Koz.

I need you to leave those soldiers immediately.

We have a higher priority now.

It's not that I can't do it,

it's that this is an extra that was not previously discussed.

I'm acting on new information.

I'll tell you what, why don't you give me the last four digits

of that Swiss bank account

so I can do more than just look at my money?

Ha. That's for later.

But for now, I can offer you something better.

Yeah? What?

One of the Feds is the man who killed your brother.

This time, you can kill him.

You guys almost finished?

Packed away, ready to go.

Here are your keys.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

All equipment is in place

and operational.

We're good?

- We're good. - We're up. Get out of there.

Don't stop.

Get out of there!

The kidnapper's people could be there any second.

- What can I do for you, Meg? - You can get my daughter back.

How, exactly, am I going to do that?

By telling me how I'm involved in the kidnapping.

What have you been doing?

I just have to watch the news

to see that it has something to do with the CIA.

So you tell me how I'm connected

to Amber being taken.

You don't want to know that.

Let me be the judge

of what I don't want to know.

If it compromises me,

I'd have thought that would make you glad.

These soldiers were part of

an advanced training protocol.

They were given a drug

to help them survive brutal conditions.

An unexpected side effect

is that it repressed emotions...

empathy.

Those soldiers knew what they were doing,

they just didn't care.

I ordered that drug, Meg.

Your company made it.

This massacre brought to you by Porter Pearce.

So the kidnapping is payback for that?

The kidnapping is collateral damage.

I want the name of the kidnapper.

Maybe I don't know.

Don't screw with me, Gabe.

You're under attack, you know your enemy.

I'm supposed to just give it to you,

or are we going to do business here?
