The Event

Previously on The Event...

BP dropping. 80 over 40.

What's happening to him?

Where the hell is neurosurge?

We lost the pulse. We lost the pulse.

Elias!

I know you poisoned the President.

I know you're working with Sophia.

That's preposterous! Now, you listen to me!

You listen!

The only reason she helped you get where you are...

Remember who you're talking to!

Is because she knew it would give her control

of this office.

You may tender your resignation

effective immediately.

We'll need to run more tests on the lung tissue

as soon as it ts here. Where is it now?

In a temperature-controlled container.

Our courier is hand-carrying it as we speak.

Sean! Go, go!

Drop it or I'll kill him!

Drop it now!

Vicky, shoot him! Don't let them take the case!

We gotta get you out of here.

Michael and Simon are gone.

We have to find them before they escape.

There's a vial in my pocket.

Get it to the President as soon as you can.

No, no, Dad!

Michael...

He's gone.

Sophia, I'm-- I'm sorry.

We were trying to stop them from escaping.

I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault.

Look what you did to him!

You killed my father. I hate you.

I've known your father longer than you can comprehend.

You have no idea what I felt for him.

Did he have it? Michael?

- What are you talking about? - The compound.

Michael came into the lab. I tried to stop him.

- What compound? - A counteragent.

DNA repair enzymes.

It can reverse the effects of the poison we gave Martinez.

- Search them. - Let go of me!

It has to be Simon.

We have to assume that he's on the way

to the hospital now.

If Martinez recovers,

everything that we've been working toward

will be compromised. - No.

I will send a search team after him.

No. Simon is a highly trained agent.

You'll never find him.

But I have another way.

In the meantime,

we have to completely evacuate the compound.

Make sure everyone's safe before Simon has a chance

to alert the authorities.

Get her away from him.

No. No. Let-- let go of me!

Daddy's still sleeping, honey.

But he wants you to be strong

and send him good thoughts, okay?

All right, be a good boy. I'll be home soon.

Love you.

Our son...

He wants to see his daddy.

So what's the next step?

At this point, I'm afraid we've done

everything we can, Mrs. Martinez.

He's not getting any better. He's getting worse.

I'm sorry.

You're just gonna give up?

No. No.

We've narrowed down the options

for Director Sterling's replacement.

These are very good candidates.

I don't want very good candidates.

- I want the best. - You fired the best.

With all due respect.

Director Sterling was a dangerous man.

The things he said about me,

the man is not in his right mind.

I can't have a man like that at the head

of the intelligence operations.

And for you to constantly remind me of his importance

only makes you suspect.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean...

One second.

Hello.

Excuse me.

Uh, that'll be all, Mr. Peel.

Thank you very much.

Yes? We have a problem.

Simon Lee has gotten a hold of a counteragent.

- A counteragent? - He can use it

to reverse the effects of the poison we gave Martinez.

How did this happen?

I knew this was a mistake.

I can't believe I let you-- Raymond, listen to me.

You need to focus all your energies

on finding Simon Lee and stopping him

before he reaches that hospital.

It's easy for you to sit back and issue commands.

But I'm the one

that has to handle the reality on the ground.

The reality is that you have every resource

of the federal government available to you

to find one man.

Use them.

Because if Martinez recovers and the truth comes out,

they will put you away for the rest of your life.

There's no sign of their car.

And we can't just keep driving.

If we want to stop Sophia from getting her hands

on this virus, then-- then we're gonna need

some help. I'm working on it.

No, we need to call the police and just tell them what we know.

We can't. We know from what happened on the plane

that someone high up in the government

is helping Sophia.

But I've got their plates and I know their car

was a rental. And?

Since the mid-'90s,

every rental car has a tracking device

so the companies can monitor their vehicles.

So if I can get into the company's system,

I might be able to find the car.

"Might."

Sorry.

You saw what that virus did to those people on the ship.

How they died.

If Sophia releases the virus, how bad could it be?

The original Spanish flue epidemic killed

between 50 and 100 million people

and that's before international travel

was so easy.

And this strain's more virulent?

Way more.

If Sophia released it, I don't know what would be left.

Hey. What do you got?

Hopefully them. 50 miles up ahead.

Word from Gerard just came in.

He was able to establish communication

with the home planet.

It's worse than we thought.

Radiation levels have become catastrophic.

People are dying.

We need to make room here. We need to get this done.

I understand that better than anyone.

How close are we to releasing the virus?

Close. But in order for a global pandemic

to be successful,

the host has to survive long enough

to spread the disease.

This is the footage Aaron sent from the Irina Bogdanov.

The doctor handling the virus was human,

and therefore not immune like us.

There. His clean suit becomes compromised.

This is the point of infection.

The conditions for this outbreak were not suitable

for drawing any conclusions.

It was released in close quarters

in great concentration.

I need a more accurate simulation

to judge the efficacy of the virus.

If it's more reliable data you need,

the next field test should provide it.

Freeze. Hands in the air.

Turn around. Slowly.

Simon.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't put

a bullet in you right now?

Martinez. I can save his life.

Don't play me, Simon.

I know Sophia used Jarvis to poison the President.

Why would they want to spare him now?

They don't. I do.

I've split with Sophia for good.

Once I realized what she wanted to do.

How many people she was willing to murder.

- I don't believe you. - I have a counteragent.

An antidote. Why would I trust you?

Everything you ever told me was a lie.

It's the truth. I was free and clear.

Why else would I risk coming back here?

Maybe you think you can manipulate me.

Sophia did it to Martinez time and time again.

Turns out I was an even bigger fool than he was.

I'm sorry.

But believe me when I say I was doing it

for the common good.

Even now, I still believe there can be peace between us.

- How? - Starting with this.

Slowly.
