Hostages

Previously on Hostages...

Let's do it.

Why are you doing this?

You're going to kill the President of the United States, Ellen.

Otherwise, we will kill your family.

What's going to happen to us?

Beginning tomorrow, you are going to return to your normal lives.

For the next two weeks you will carry on as if nothing is wrong.

We'll be watching you. Listening to you.

Every move you make,

even when we're not with you, we'll be with you.

What's that?

You're going to implant a GPS chip into everyone.

Think of it as an invisible leash.

No one touches Dr. Sanders.

As long as I have your family, you're not going anywhere.

The President was mistakenly given a blood thinner

only hours before his scheduled surgery.

I'm here to find out exactly what happened.

We need to end this investigation tonight.

And how are we supposed to do that?

We give them somebody to blame.

It's about Angela.

The President's nurse apparently committed suicide.

You son of a bitch. You killed her.

- No, you did. - What?

You failed to convince your friend to confess.

Angela's death is on you.

This guy Nico... We sold his weed,

but never paid him because my father found all the money.

Let's stop pretending, Ryan.

We both know you're not the loving husband you pretend to be.

When is Mommy coming home?

Mommy needs to rest, honey. So she can get better.

Everything is gonna back just the way it was.

My partners have a very low tolerance for failure.

Mr. President, the internet's buzzing with rumors about that nurse's suicide.

Conspiracy theories, links to terrorist groups...

No mention of aliens?

Sir, choosing a civilian doctor was supposed to be a public relations win.

It's not. We should cut our losses and get the hell out.

Well, I like Dr. Sanders...

But this whole thing is becoming more complex than I'd hoped.

Quentin, start exploring the best way for us move on.

Without damaging Sanders' reputation. Or mine.

I'll try to make it today, but I don't think I can...

Like I told you, I'm working on a special assignment.

Well, Daddy loves you too, Sawyer. More than anything.

Well, you have fun today at the art fair, okay princess?

Make sure you send me a few pictures.

I'll call you later, okay?

- Hey, better eat your breakfast. - I gotta get ready for school.

- Are you all right? - No.

I can't stop thinking about Angela.

Come here. We need to talk.

We need to find out which school is having an art fair today.

What? An art fair? Why?

He has a daughter. Her name is Sawyer.

Her school is having an art fair.

I'll try and track it down at work.

Use someone else's computer in case they're tapping.

I'll call you at 11:15.

- Hey. - Hey.

I didn't hear back from you last night. Everything go okay with the nurse?

Yeah. Yeah, we're good.

Duncan?

I'm at the meeting spot. Where are you?

Meeting spot?

You just sent me an urgent message.

I didn't send you a message.

Duncan?

- Who ordered the hit? - Calm down.

It was that bootlicking Chief of Staff, Creasy.

I'll bury that son of a bitch.

Duncan. Stop. You need to stay focused.

Think about your daughter. Your wife.

Remember why we're doing this.

You're right. It doesn't matter who gave the order.

It only matters why...

The President must be moving on... Changing surgeons.

- Without Sanders... - The deal's off.

Which makes us all liabilities. You, me, Sanders...

Unless we change the President's mind.

Yes, I'd like to speak to Chief of Staff Quentin Creasy.

Tell him it's Rob Halsey.

Mr. Creasy? I have a Mr. Halsey for you on line two.

Tell him I'm out of the office.

I'm sorry, Mr. Halsey. The Chief of Staff is unavailable.

I thought Carlisle was supposed to be dead.

- Dr. Sanders. - Agent Hoffman.

- Can I have a word? - Sure.

I know you and Angela were close.

Yeah, I just... I can't believe it. It's horrible.

Until we find a body there's still hope.

Yeah, you're right, I...

Why were you at her house last night?

We were supposed to meet for a drink and she didn't show up to the bar.

I went to her home because I was concerned.

- About what? - About Angela. She was distressed.

We had coffee yesterday and she was just so upset

about everything that's happened with the President.

Especially since she was the nurse administering the medication.

She didn't know whether she'd made a mistake or not.

I told her if she thought she was at fault, she should just admit it.

But she...

What?

She didn't know if she could live with the consequences.

I feel terrible. I should have done more. Been a better friend.

- I just, I had no idea... - Don't blame yourself, Doctor.

Something like this? How could you possibly know?

Let's go! Hurry up, you're gonna be late.

Hey. Did you look in my father's bathroom for the money?

No.

Oh, my God. Nico is gonna kill me.

Give me a break. The guy sells schwag weed to high school kids,

how tough can he be?

- I'm not going to school today. - Sure you are.

Come on. Move it.

Have you talked to the boss yet?

- Haven't had a chance. - I don't do charity work.

Yeah, neither do I.

With this kind of risk...

The President? Keeping a family under wraps for two weeks?

- We need to get paid. - I said, I'll take care of it.

Who the hell is this guy, anyway?

His name is Duncan Carlisle. He's a good man.

You keep saying that, but so far I haven't seen any evidence.

I have. 13 years ago I was working security

for a US petrol outfit near the Colombian border.

Got attacked by FARC guerillas. Held for two months.

FBI sent a team to get us out. Duncan was the lead negotiator.

So he negotiated a release?

It was a commando raid.

It got ugly.

Freed all the oil men. Now they're in choppers, ready to go.

When Duncan found out I was being held separately, he came back.

Shot his way in one more time. Saved my life.

Impressive.

But I still need to get paid.

Morgan. Morgan.

What are you doing here?

You wouldn't answer my texts or my calls last night.

I need to talk to you.

You really shouldn't be here, okay? Just go before somebody...

- Boyd, please don't do this right now. - What's going on?

Why are you acting like this?

Is there somebody else?

No, no there's... God, no, there's nobody else.

Then just tell me the truth, because I love you.

I think about you every minute of every day.

- So if there's someone else... - I'm pregnant.

I understand, but, $55 a square foot is a steal.

Comps are at 60.

Oh, okay. All right. No, no, I get it.

If you change your mind, give me a call.

Since you won't take my calls

I had to find another way to get your attention.

What the hell are you doing?

That bullet missed my head by five inches.

What are you talking about?

Bad idea to play dumb with me right now, Quentin.

I'm not in the mood.

I have no idea why you're acting this way.

None. Please, just tell me what happened.

I don't care if you knew, if you gave the order... It doesn't matter.

- All I care about is what happens next. - Next?

We're gonna find a way out of this, you and me,

so you need to do exactly as I say.

If not, my friends will kill you.

And then...

They're gonna kill your beautiful wife.

It's me.

Something's come up.

I think we should reconsider the decision to terminate the operation.

Because I've just learned

that the President is going to remain with Dr. Sanders,

so the original plan is still viable.

Yes, I'm positive.

You're safe. For now.

Good.

That means you're safe, too. For now.

You realize we're both out on a limb here.

I've just lied to some very powerful, very unforgiving people.

If you do as I say, it won't be a lie for long.

- I found a great hotel in Miami. - Miami?

For the real estate conference we're going to in a few weeks?

Hey, Brian?

It's Ellen, she's been trying to reach you.

Oh, yeah, right. I dropped my phone yesterday.

Nightmare. I told her she could reach me through you.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, go ahead. You should take that.

Hey, can I borrow your office for two minutes?

- Yeah. - Thanks.

- Ellen? - What'd you find?

There's an art fair at a private school called Holly Oak in Bethesda.

Okay, good. Holly Oak. What time?

1:30. Why? You're not planning on going?

Well, we need to figure out who this man is.

- They're watching us at all times. - I'll find a way.
