The Event

Outwardly, they look very much like us,

but they age at a much slower rate than we do.

He's my son.

I'll deal with him as I see fit.

I'm so sorry.

But you can prove your loyalty.

Ah!

This whole time, I've had a traitor in my own house.

I'm coming to turn myself in.

So it's true.

The attack in Coral Gables on me, it was you?

I was manipulated by a very powerful man.

Who is it?

- It was-- - go!

Someone came to the house.

They said no matter where we go

or what we do, they'd find us.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this.

You think about our children.

Abby, tell me about the place where they kept you.

It was like a hospital,

but not for regular people.

- No, I need you to leave. - Wait, wait, wait.

You leave now or I'm calling the police.

- Watch out! - We got to go now!

Through here!

Come on!

Abby!

I don't think he was here for Abby.

He was here for you.

Sean, why would he be after me?

How'd they even find us?

Agent Collier's line might have been tapped.

So there's no wallet. No I.D.

Just this... And, uh...

And this.

Abby said that she and the girls

were being injected with medicine.

You saw what they did to her.

Oh, my God. What's going on?

I don't know, but I've had enough.

I don't know who the hell you are

or who sent you, but you're gonna tell us

what's going on or so help me,

I will shoot you in the head.

Do you hear me?

Answer me.

Answer me!

You're not gonna shoot me.

Not like this.

In cold blood.

You won't do it.

You're right.

Leila, hand me the syringe.

What?

Give me the syringe.

Hey, no. You don't know.

Is this what you inject the little girls with?

- Hey. - Why do you have her picture?

- No! - And where is her sister!

- Answer me! - No!

What have you done?

Come on. Come on!

Get up.

Get up!

Get up!

According to his doctors,

the Vice President is alert and oriented.

He should have no trouble answering questions.

Good.

Soon as Jarvis identifies the man behind

the assassination attempt, I want every resource

focused on finding him and making him pay.

Eli.

Hey, Ray.

You can imagine our relief

when we heard you were okay.

Erika, could we have a moment

with the Vice President?

Sure.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you too.

I'll be right outside.

All right, let's get on with this.

First, I want the name.

I'm sorry. Who are you talking about?

I'm talking about the man

you were about to identify before the attempt on your life,

who wanted me dead.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What the hell are you doing, Ray?

Doctor said I might have suffered some memory loss

from the trauma.

I don't know how this man

got to you, Ray.

I really don't.

But let me tell you how it is.

You're gonna give me the name or I will make it

my own personal mission to make sure

you pay for it for the rest of your God-given life.

Let me ask you a question, Mr. President.

What do you think will happen when the public finds out

that you knew about the Inostranka detainees

and went along with the cover-up?

That you are part of one of the greatest conspiracies

of our history?

You'll be eviscerated by the press

and members of your own congress.

You're threatening me?

You know, I'm not as smooth as you.

I don't have an Ivy league diploma

or the charm that got you where you are,

but I will give you a piece of advice anyway...

As your elder.

You think you're at the top of this game?

The truth is you're just as much a bit player as I am.

Vulnerable to any number of people

who have the power, the money, and the will

to take you down.

Well, I'm not going down.

I am the Vice President of the United States

and that's the way it's going to stay.

This isn't over.

I'm sure it isn't.

We expose his dirty secrets and he'll expose ours.

I should have known when I started playing this game

that it would come to something like this.

You can't possibly equate yourself

with that traitor, Mr. President.

The secrets you've kept have been

for the good of this country.

I assure you...

We will find the man

who tried to have you assassinated

no matter what we have to do.

Sterling. What is it?

We have a national security emergency, Mr. President.

Code red.

We have to get back to the White House right away.

Mr. President.

Sir, NSA has discovered a previously unknown

missile installation in the southern tip of Amalah.

We believe that we are looking at a Soviet-era

two-stage Sotka missile and we have no idea

whether it's armed with a warhead and if so,

what kind of weapons it's carrying.

I don't understand.

How in the hell did this happen under our noses?

The NSA believes some kind of countermeasures

were used to defeat satellite surveillance.

An interface pattern approach

we've never seen before.

If that can reach us, I want it shut down now

until the Amalahn government tells us

what's on that missile and where it's going.

The government of Amalah claims no knowledge

of this installation, sir,

which is built on a relatively ungoverned

tribal area.

There's a larger question here

of the auspices involved.

Amalah barely has an Air Force, let alone missile program.

They don't have the infrastructure to pull this off.

Which leads me to believe a non-state action

must be involved.

You're talking about a terrorist organization

being behind this?

Well, that's what's so puzzling.

None of the terrorist groups we track

is even remotely capable of something like this.

Well, then who the hell is?

Exactly, sir.

Thank you...

For doing me this honor.

The honor's ours.

I'd like to take a moment to clear the air.

Recently, we've all been through some...

difficult moments.

And I want you to know I understand

that change is difficult,

but we can and will make it through

these challenging times together.

Hmm.

So on to business then.

Now that we have the key module,

let's address the other things we'll need to get home.

How far along are we on constructing the interface?

Opening the portal to save you from the plane

was basically an improvisation.

That interface is nowhere near powerful enough to get us home.

Then we'll need to build a new one?

At the same site, so we can take advantage

of the infrastructure that we have set up there.

Save us some time and hopefully some money too.

Makes sense.

I've been starting to read

the financial records you gave me,

although this isn't my strong suit.

But I want to make sure I have everything.
