Crisis

Previously on Crisis:

Taking me and these two patients,

it's kidnapping.

Anything on Clarenbach yet?

No, nothing yet. Well, keep listening.

But it'd be an awful lot easier if you'd stop shaking the board.

And before you tell me that Gibson's the one doing

all the shaking, let me just point out the fact

that he's nothing but a tiny little piece

that's lost his way.

You got to help me!

Help me stay awake.

I dreamed of those people.

They're gonna make me kill again.

Who is?

He is.

Enemy neutralized. The soldiers are secure.

We need to figure out what Gibson has

to do with those soldiers.

Do you want to trust me? Yeah.

Who's responsible for this?

It was me. Punishment begins tomorrow morning at 6:00 A.M.

This guy is better than us. Smarter than us.

If he wants to send a kid home in a bag,

there's nothing we can do about it.

- What is he doing? - Let's ask him.

Boss, you sure about this?

When they pick up that phone,

you just keep bouncing the signal.

Agent Dunn.

You have 30 seconds.

What do you know about the hit squad?

There's evidence they work here.

In this country.

Yes, I saw that storage unit, too.

Tell me something I don't know.

25 seconds.

What do we get if we do?

Well, you get to keep me on the phone.

Isn't that what you want? To get inside my head?

20 seconds.

CIA director widener, we know he's involved.

Tell me something I don't know.

Francis Gibson.

What about him?

We know he's involved. He's ex-CIA.

Yes. We asked him about that.

Several times.

Now he's in the other room

crying with his daughter.

Ten seconds.

If you took those kids

to use their parents...

Use us.

We can help you.

Five seconds.

Station orange co239gh.

Where did you hear that code?

Which time?

He heard the broadcast from two locations.

We can triangulate the signal and get a fix on station orange.

I assume the first time you heard that code was

in the basement of the Pakistani embassy three days ago.

At what other time and place did you hear it?

We can work together.

Not without the where and when.

Good-bye.

Ground floor of a building

at 227 h street.

38 hours ago.

You want to work together?

Use you instead of the parents?

You will do something for me.

If you succeed,

I will release a hostage.

If you fail, a hostage dies.

I will call you again in four hours.

If you tell anyone, you've already failed.

Wakie, wakie, wakie!

It is 6:00 A.M.

And you are on the clock.

Now!

Four lines.

Arms width apart!

Four lines! Now!

Read it.

"My father is the president of the United States.

"He is the most powerful man alive

"and he cannot find me.

"He cannot save me.

"If these men wanted to kill me,

my father could not stop them."

Read it again.

"My father is the president of the United States..."

"My father commands an aircraft carrier battle group

"with thousands of sailors and marines.

"My father cannot find me.

My father cannot save me..."

"My father represents the people's Republic of China.

"My father cannot find me.

My father cannot save me..."

"Through insider trading my father has amassed a fortune.

"He has paid off judges and politicians

to stay out of jail."

"My father cannot find me. My father cannot save me.

"If these men wanted to kill me,

my father could not stop them..."

"My mother cannot find me. My mother cannot save me..."

"My parents cannot find me. My parents cannot save me..."

"My mother cannot find me. My mother cannot save me..."

How long will you make them do that?

Until they believe it.

I don't think your daughter ever will.

Believe that you can't help her.

I've seen the way she looks at you now.

That's what you wanted, right?

Where are you

at triangulating those signals

agent Finley gave us? Nearly there.

Where is that?

Those two signals intersect at this location.

Lock on that signal.

That's it.

That's station orange.

Can you open it up?

We're in.

I cut trackers out of them both.

Then we're good to go.

FBI and military bands are chatter-free.

No eyes in the sky, either.

Hawkins goes with you.

How you doing, Hawkins?

Quiet type, I guess.

You take him and this file

to this news station.

And then you get out of there.

Thayer goes with me back to Gibson.

You're going on the news, sergeant Hawkins.

You're gonna be famous.

If we tell Olsen,

and he shuts us down,

a kid dies.

You believe he'd kill a kid?

I have no reason not to.

And when the next call comes in

and he tells us what he wants us to do...

Where do we draw the line?

The more we do for the kidnappers,

the more we find out about them.

I understand how we have to tell ourselves that

so we're not just two more par...

People...

Two more people doing what that voice

on the phone tells them to do.

But it's true.

Everything they tell us to do reveals

a little more about who they are.

But that's not what I asked.

What I asked was "what would we be willing to do?"

Where's the line, Finley?

The line?

We keep going until one of us

says stop, okay?

Okay.

How much time until the next call?

A little over three hours.

Nine deaths, all in the last 18 months.

Two shootings unsolved.

The rest... car wrecks, fire,

drowning, falls.

The kidnapper led you here.

Agent Dunn?

Agent Dunn?

Y-y-yes.

We discovered this while...

Attempting to trap the kidnappers.

I understand that the kidnapper, who you lost, led you here.

But what does this have to do with the CIA?

That one.

He was on that video

I saw at the CIA.

He and his family were massacred

by those soldiers.

That video you saw for maybe

ten, 15 seconds?

He was on that video, sir.

A parent died getting it

out of the CIA for the kidnapper.

I know what I saw.

And I see a lot of you two lately.

Aren't you assigned to the parents?

They are.

But their investigations led them to the storage unit

and this information.

What of the parents? They're all buttoned up?

We don't have to worry about the kidnapper

using them to launch any more

attacks?

Yes, sir, the parents are all "buttoned up."

Station orange code is heavily encrypted.
