(brooding music)
(gate slams)
(ominous music)
- Coop!
- Don't fucking move.
You're fucking moving.
Put your hands up.
Keep your fucking hands up.
Motherfuckers can't
hear nowadays.
- Your shirt.
(chain rattling)
Damn, hurry up.
- You can go faster than that.
- Damn, tick-tock,
motherfucker. Come on.
- Are you finished? You done?
Welcome to Hotel Horton House.
Hey, now. We hope
you enjoy your stay.
- Piece of work,
like always, Coop.
Hey, kid.
Do yourself a favor, all
right, keep to yourself,
'cause it's first night is
always the hardest, all right?
It's always the hardest,
and this whole entire lot
is gonna do anything
it can to get to you.
Don't let 'em.
All right?
(soft music)
(gate slams)
(soft music continues)
(telephone ringing)
(telephone ringing)
- Hello?
- Yeah, Angela.
Um, Dr. Perkins, I'm
sorry. This is Bill Nash.
I'm the resident physician
at Horton House Penitentiary.
I'm very sorry to call so late,
but I've had something
come across my desk
that I think really
fits your criteria.
- It's after midnight.
- I know, and I
apologize again, but, um,
Doctor, does the name Andre
Volkov mean anything to you?
- No, I'm sorry.
Andre Volkov? No, that doesn't.
Never heard of him.
- Andre Volkov was committed
to the juvenile justice system
a few years ago on
a charge of murder.
He was 14 at the time.
He just turned 18, and
as of this morning,
he's been transferred
to Horton House.
I've been looking over his file
and I can tell you right now
this young man is gonna
need some extra attention.
In my professional opinion,
he's a psychiatric goldmine.
That's what I'm calling you.
My main concern is that, if he
doesn't get the proper care,
he's gonna get lost in
the system permanently.
I'll be honest with you, Doctor,
my job here is just sewing
up cuts after fights.
I don't really do
psychiatric evaluations.
- I suppose I can
look over his file.
Quick question, Dr. Nash.
Do you know when I'll
be able to see him?
- Well, he just
arrived this morning,
so there's a period
of adjustment.
Call it 60 days.
- Thank you, Dr. Nash.
If you could just do me
a favor in the morning,
can you fax
everything over to me?
I promise I'll review
the paperwork over
the next few weeks,
prepare a case
for him on my end.
So I'll see you in a couple
of months. Is that all right?
- Sounds great.
You have a good
evening, Dr. Perkins.
- Thank you. Have a good night.
- [Andre] Time on the
outside moves different
than on the inside.
Being incarcerated,
time stands still,
especially as a child.
This day marks the beginning,
the start of your
greatest challenge.
Looking back, we were so young.
You never knew I would become
your greatest accomplishment.
- Well, this is it.
Little early, ma'am, so we'll
bring him in in a few minutes.
- Okay, good. Will give me
time to set things up a bit.
And by the way, thank you
so much for the tour before.
It was very interesting
- Oh, my pleasure.
My pleasure. Be right back.
(brooding music)
- Stop, hands on the table. Sit.
- Behave yourself, son.
The hold is no place
for someone your age.
Officer Torres and I will be
right out front if you need us.
Also, we'll be
watching from above.
- Thank you.
Good morning, Andre.
My name is Dr. Perkins,
and I'm going to be spending
a great deal of time with you,
trying to understand why
and how you got here.
I've been reviewing
your file, and I see
there's been a great deal
of turmoil in your life.
Do you mind if we discuss
some of those things today?
I can tell there are many
things troubling you,
aren't there?
I mean, what kind of father
blinds a little boy
with boiling water?
Oh God. That's sick.
Freaking monster.
Sorry.
You know, Andre, I really
want to understand,
especially from
your perspective.
And as you know, these
reports can be very one-sided,
and honestly, the only side
I want to hear is yours.
Can you talk to me, Andre?
Andre, are you listening to me?
Andre, you've been
through so much.
I can't even begin
to imagine how scared
and angry you must have been
witnessing your father
murdering your beloved mother.
And now, this boy,
this boy in the file,
who lashed out
uncontrollably in the middle
of the greatest
trauma imaginable
is branded a danger
when he's the victim.
How does that make you feel?
Andre, you really
got to open up to me.
I have a feeling there
aren't too many people
racing to be on your side.
Let's not talk about that.
Let's move on to something else.
Yes, I'm very curious to
hear about your relationship
with Father O'Malley.
- Stop!
- Andre.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Here, let me give you
something for your eyes.
Can I help with your
eyes? Do you mind?
- I can do it myself.
- Okay. It's right here.
I don't see why not.
Take your time. It's okay.
Andre.
Are you ready?
- Yes.
- Good.
Let's go back to the
very beginning, shall we?
(crickets chirping)
(melancholy music)
- [Andre] It felt as if I
had been walking for days.
The hard concrete
beneath my feet.
The smell of wildflowers
and the chirping of crickets
took my mind off the
horror I just experienced.
I can still all the
whiskey on your breath.
I can hear the
rage in your voice.
I had nowhere to hide.
Mother.
I'm sorry.
I wish I had done
more to protect you.
Evil comes in many forms.
That day, evil was my father.
She was so caring.
She was my life.
(kettle whistling)
You took everything from me.
You boiled the
windows to my soul.
Because of you,
I live in a world of darkness.
So much anger, fear, and panic
filled the air around me.
My hands, sore and
stained with the earth.
You made me bury my own mother.
My only friend, my
eyes on the world.
And on this day, by my
hands, you feel my pain.
Over
and over
and over.
I now know anger.
I now know death.
For I have seen evil.
(laid-back music)
I like it here (indistinct)
The scurrying
of small animals
The rustle and the
bustle of the wind
Autumn's leaves
are jangly dancing
September skips
a modest breeze
- Young man.
Are you okay?
What you doing out
here all alone?
I know you, right?
What are your parents?
Listen, my brother and I,
we've got an orphanage
we run nearby.
Why don't we get you some
water, some food, some rest?
You can be reunited
with your family there.
You'll be safe at the orphanage.
Your salvation's at hand.
- [Andre] Father O'Malley
talked a lot on our journey.
Maybe it was to fill the
gap, because I said nothing,
nor did I really listen to him.
After all, what
was there to say?
At an age when other children
were playing ball in the street,
I had already
murdered my father.
- Father Seamus, children,
come downstairs, please.
Declan's here with a child.
(Seamus sighs)
- Brought me another
stray, have you, Declan?
- That's no way to talk
about a child of the Lord.
Found him wandering alone,
like a lamb cleaved
from the flock.
And I'm supposed to believe
that this particular lamb
you met through
sheer happenstance?
- Ah, happenstance,
God's will, karma,
call it what you will.
The boy needs our help,
as you can clearly see.
When have we turned
away a child in need?
- Well, it seems to
be in both your favors
that attendance is
light right now.
Get the boy cleaned up.
Then get him in with
the other children
for prayer and a meal.
And then find his
parents immediately.
- Feed the body and
the soul. Perfect.
Might I suggest you
do the same, brother?
- See me in my office as
soon as the boys are fed.
- Say hello, boys.
- Hello.
- All right, all
right. Break it.
Come on now. Come on.
Give him a change
of clothes, Declan.
Sister, Margaret.
What are these boys just
doing standing around here?
Telling me you've done
all your Bible studies?
Your homework? Your chores?
Come on, find an
occupation. Let's go.
- Let's go, boys.
- Have a lovely morning, Sister.
- You too, Father.
- For God's sake.
(crickets chirping)
(ominous music)
Well, do they have any leads?
No, no, no, the boy
is here with us now.
Appears to be traumatized, yeah.
We found him
wandering the roads.
No.
No, that's, it's not
necessary, Sheriff.
I mean...
No, the boy is in good
hands with us here.
I appreciate it.
Sheriff, we have ways of
protecting ourselves, all right?
Thank you. Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Good day.
They're dead.
- Who?
- The parents.
The father.
The mother.
- Dear Lord.
- It was a brutal, bloody scene.
It's a miracle the boy escaped.
Are you happy?
- Are you serious?
- Deadly serious.
Well, you've really
stepped in it this time
with your bleeding heart.
- This child is your
responsibility now.
- All of these children
are my responsibility.
Have I not served
penance enough for ya?
Now, now we're all in the
shadow of the sinful. All of us.
- Only God can judge when
your penance is finished.
Not you, not me.
Only God.
Would you like to take
confession, Seamus?
- Go to hell, Declan.
- Already there,
brother. Already there.
- Hello, Andre.
Sister Margaret
tells me that, uh,
you haven't spoken
or eaten, so, uh,
I thought, instead of going
down to the dining hall,
I'd bring a little something
special up to you here, huh?
Andre.
I've known of you
for a long time.
Of your entire family.
I mean, it's a small
town, you know, and,
well,
your mother,
your mother
was
known to the church.
She was quite devout, you know.
As good a soul as I've
ever known, actually.
I am so sorry for
your loss, dear child.
And I am so terribly sorry for
the horrors that you
personally have been through.
No, no, it's all right.
I understand.
No, no, I understand.
Trust is hard right now.
Just know this, Andre.
From here on, this is your home.
I mean, not this
room in particular,
but this entire orphanage.
All right, you know?
And tomorrow,
we'll begin the
process of healing.
You'll sleep with the
other children, you know.
You'll down in the dining
hall with everyone and
you'll make friends
and occupations.
Life.
As hard as it is to believe
right now, dear child,
life does go on.
God has seen fit to
throw us together,
whether we're ready
for it or not.
And it is up to us to decide
whether we will allow
ourselves to be devoured by
evil or fight against it.
You have lived in the
darkness for far too long.
Tomorrow,
tomorrow we search
for the light.
Your mother was the
light, dear child.
Don't let it die with her.
- [Andre] The hammer was a
representation of my soul.
- Andre, time for lunch!
- [Andre] I knew I had to hide
my soul swift and quickly.
- Hey.
My name's Jimmy.
What's your name?
- He can't hear you. He's blind.
- Hey, stop picking on him!
- Boys.
- Maybe I'll pick
on you instead.
- Right.
Quiet down,
children. Quiet down.
- Good morning, children.
- Good morning, Father.
- Morning, Father O'Malley.
- Well, that was not very
impressive, now was it?
Has the Lord not provided you
with a lovely
repast this morning?
I say let's try again.
What do you say, Sister?
- Let's try that again.
- [Boys] Good morning,
Father O'Malley.
- Marginally better.
All right, well, we've a very
special morning here today.
Our family here at the Big
House has grown by one,
and I'd love to introduce
each and every one of you here
to our newest member of
the flock, Andre Volkov.
- Welcome to the Big House.
- Our happy, happy home.
- Heartfelt.
All right.
Jimmy.
Jimmy,
what is that?
- Hey!
- The Lone Ranger and Tonto.
What have I told you
about having that?
- Hey, come on.
- Well, that is adorable.
Very nice, very nice.
All right.
As your boys can see, Andre
is a special needs child,
and he's gonna need
a little extra help
here around the house.
You know, just finding
his way and settling in.
I'm gonna need a
volunteer, one of you,
who can be his guide.
- He's the Lone Ranger,
and I can be his Tonto.
- All right, Jimmy.
Well done, laddie.
You can keep that.
So,
welcome, Andre.
Let's make him all
feel at home, shall we?
So if you'll excuse me,
Father Declan and I have
a little work to do.
Sister, let's get them
through their paces, shall we?
- Yes, Father.
Let's clear the table, boys,
and then we can get
to your other chores.
- You know, that name
of yours is real stupid.
I think after breakfast I'm
gonna give the blind boy
a proper-
- His name is Andre.
- I don't give a damn
what his name is.
You know, if you're so
intent on being his friend,
I think I'll extend the
invitation to you as well.
You better watch your back.
Well, I guess you can't.
- Let's go, boys. Your
other chores are waiting.
- (scoffs) Sister
Margaret, Declan,
well, you don't seriously
mean to tell me that,
that this boy was
given a whooping by
Andre, who cannot see,
or Jimmy, who doesn't have
a vicious bone in his body?
- That's what seems
to have happened.
- Seems to be?
- Peter has a pretty
nasty cut on his head.
- Huh.
Well, I don't suppose the two
of you had the common sense
to interview the boys separately
before they were able
to concoct this story?
- This isn't the Spanish
Inquisition, Seamus.
They're children.
- Yeah, children who come to
us burdened by their past.
Each one of them have
a hard background.
Aren't you the one
who's consistently
reminding me of that, Declan.
These boys, without exception,
have had a hard life.
But I have to say,
if Jimmy
and Andre,
while being traumatized enough,
I don't find it hard to believe.
But Peter, who may have
found it a wee bit of fun
to have trouble
with a blind boy.
Well, if they stood
up for themselves,
well, I'm not gonna
punish them for it.
- A punishment? Atonement?
Oh, you're one to speak,
Seamus, all right?
You run off to the church,
leaving me with your
parents in the old country.
- I'm, answerable to
God, not you, Declan.
I am not now,
and you have not been appointed
your brother's keeper.
Not now, not ever.
I am still the elder
in this relationship,
and I'm the head
of this household,
and you would be well to
remember that, by God.
I am not an
unreasonable man, boyos.
I'm not.
I understand, and
I have no doubt
that this incident may have
shaken you up a wee bit.
So I'll say that the
damage to your pride
and to your head, Peter,
may be more than
enough for right now.
I might.
However,
I've gotten together
with Sister Margaret,
and we have devised
a very long, painful,
and slow session of Bible
study for each one of you,
on top of your extra efforts.
- Why am I getting
punished? It was Peter!
- Shut up.
- Well, you need
to consider this.
Choices have consequences.
And you gotta ask
yourself this question:
is the price for your choice
more than you are
willing to pay?
It's a very harsh world
that we live in, boyos,
and it doesn't take a lot extra
to be kind to those around ya.
I think we need to find ways
to help each other. Agreed?
Agreed?
Andre may be blind, boyos,
but I, Sister Margaret, and
God most assuredly are not.
We'll be keeping
our eyes on you.
Dismissed?
- For now.
- Get the hell out of here. Go.
(Seamus sighs)
Oh, Andre.
What are we to do with you, boy?
(crickets chirping)
God.
Why punish him when
it's me who sinned?
- Maybe you've had
enough, Seamus.
- (scoffs) Oh, there's not
enough whiskey in the world
to make me forget what's
happened here, Declan.
Have you read the report?
Have you seen the torture
this boy has gone through?
I mean, the amount of agony
and pain that he's gone through
now being transferred to every
soul his life has touched,
and I'm to blame.
- Ah, you couldn't have known.
- Oh, I know.
I knew I was poisoned
from the moment
I left you and the family
and the parents back in Cork.
I ran. I ran as far as I could.
Oh, Declan, you
shoulda let me go.
You shoulda let me go,
but God will chase a sinner
to perdition and back.
Even the devil will.
- Maybe we should pray on
this together, brother.
- To hell with that.
I need to atone.
I need to confess. I
need to come clean.
- You need to sleep.
You need to sober up.
You're no good to
anyone like this.
- I never have been.
You were the good one. Hmm.
Oh, cheers to that.
You were the good one.
Mm.
The pride, the pride
of clan O'Malley.
The good child. The protector.
- You were first. I
only ever followed you.
- Well,
I killed that, Seamus, didn't I?
There's no amount of confession
that'll ever put
things right again.
Bring in
the boy.
- No.
- Oh, God sake, Declan.
Just bring him in.
You know I need to atone.
You're the one who's told
me I have to do that.
Let's get this thing right.
- I have concerns for the boy.
- (sighs) That's
why he has to know.
He needs to know. I need to
tell him it's not his fault.
No, no, it's me. I'm
the one who's doomed.
No, no, Declan, he
can still be saved.
- Sleep on this,
Seamus, I beg you.
- I've been sleeping
my entire life.
No, I'm wide awake now.
I need to do this while I can.
I beg of you. I pray of you.
Oh, Declan.
Send in the boy.
Alone.
- Fine.
But you won't be
needing any of this.
- (scoffs) No, it's okay.
I'm numb already.
I've got everything I need
right here on the desk.
I'm locked and
loaded with the Lord.
- This is a volatile situation.
Be gentle.
- Of course.
Of course.
(melancholy music)
Even if it kills me.
Yeah, though I walk
through the shadow
of the valley of death.
- [Seamus] Good night, wee lad.
- Hello, Andre.
It's been quite the week
we've had here, hasn't it?
Hey, do you mind if
I tell you story?
Is it all right?
All right.
Yes, let's start
with a beautiful woman, but
trouble, you understand?
Oh.
And where do the troubled
and lost sheep go
when they're having
difficulties?
Andre, they go to our
dear Holy Mother Church.
And that's what she did.
And she met an
impressionable young priest.
You know, he did
everything he could
to possibly help her, Andre.
He...
You know, it's not her
fault. It's not her fault.
I mean, when someone
is kind to you
after you've dealt with
so much pain in your life,
well, Andre,
it's natural to develop
feelings, is it not, Andre?
Yeah.
The only problem is,
he began to develop
feelings himself.
He broke his vows.
He broke his vows to
himself, to his family,
to his church, to his God.
But Andre,
Andre,
Andre, he loved her.
Andre,
this man, this
man would've left.
He would've gone with her.
He wanted to go with her.
But the church, oh, they
wouldn't have it, no.
"Scandal!", they
cried. "Scandal!"
And they moved him,
they moved him far away
where he could do
nothing more for her.
He was gone, Andre.
He was gone, but, oh,
oh, she followed,
Andre. She followed him.
He was at a new church, but she,
she moved to an area nearby.
She moved to an
area nearby, Andre,
and he didn't know
until she showed up
on the other side of the
confessional team to him.
- Who?
- And she told him.
That's when she
told him, she said,
she told him that he was the...
You gotta understand,
she was pregnant, Andre.
Andre, she was with child,
and he found out then
that he was the father.
He reacted in horror,
but he did not know.
And she told him. He said, "It's
all right, it's all right."
And she gave, she wanted
to give something to him.
Andre, Andre,
Andre,
a chain, Andre.
She had a silver chain.
And on this silver
chain was a tooth.
He found out later that it
was a wolf's tooth, Andre.
But...
No, no, no, no, no.
This, this, this belongs to you.
Son, this belongs
to you, you see?
- Who is the priest?
- It's your birthright.
It's your birthright.
It's an heirloom.
It's what she wanted.
But you know, she
left so quickly.
He turned and he ran
from the confessional
with this chain in his hand,
and he looked, and all he
could see is her leaving.
The last he saw of
her as she leaves.
Oh, Andre, Andre.
- You?
- Andre, you have to understand.
He had no choice.
He didn't know.
He didn't know!
- My father!
- Yes, Andre. Andre,
I'm the priest.
He sent money. He sent money.
And his brother would keep
an eye and watch the family,
but he had no idea how bad
things had gotten, Andre.
He didn't know.
- Father!
- Yes, Andre. It's me, Andre.
Andre, oh, my dear boy.
My dear boy, you've
got to understand.
It's not that we I wanted
things, but you know,
you know, we discovered
the hammer, boy.
We know. We know where
you buried the hammer.
We know it was you, Andre.
We found the hammer
that you buried.
But that's okay.
Andre, listen to me.
No, listen to me, Andre.
We'll take care of you.
I'll hide it. The
church is good at that.
The church is good at
taking care of things.
We reburied the hammer.
You're all gonna be all right?
- No!
- Yes, Andre.
Yes, it's me. I'm your father.
- I am your father!
- Andre, yes.
- No, get off me!
- Andre, it's me.
- You killed me.
I am your father.
I own you, boy.
- Leave her alone!
- No, Andre, it's fine.
You understand me?
- No!
- No, I do anything
to your mother.
We tried to help you.
- Stop hurting my mother,
you bastard!
- I didn't hurt your mother.
It's someone else.
I'm not that man.
- I am your father, Andre.
(Andre screaming)
(Andre weeping)
- What have you done, boy?
What have you...
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
- Hello, Andre.
Happy 40th birthday.
I brought you
something sweet to eat.
I'm sorry. They won't let me
light any candles in here.
Are you ready to get started?
All right.
So according to my notes,
we lived off at the part where
you murdered Father O'Malley.
Your version is quite different
from the police
report, I must say.
But I take their reports
with a grain of salt anyways.
And you also mentioned
something about loyalty
and other individuals
whom you've met at Horton.
There's something
about the Great Exit.
Can you tell me more about that?
- My soul's been troubled, yes.
But what would I say?
"Father, save me from
this hour."? (laughs)
One with unreliable friends
soon come to ruin.
Just as there are those
friends that have a bond
that's stronger
than a brotherhood.
In here,
I found the ruins.
In fact, I find it
quite coincidental
that you're here
to witness this.
- Witness what, Andre?
- The true meaning
of solidarity.
Like wolves.
A pack.
What time do you
have, Dr. Perkins?
- It's 11:43. It's almost
time for lunch, Andre.
- Yes, feeding time.
Let the wolves eat.
(upbeat rock music)
- Home, sweet home. (indistinct)
- No talking,
inmate. (indistinct)
- Hey, enter your cell.
Right now. Let's go.
- Get the fuck on in your cell!
(inmate laughs)
- Can you believe
this motherfucker?
(inmate laughs)
- Now!
Now!
Now!
(alarm blaring)
- What on Earth is going on?
- It's easy to forgive the
boy who's afraid of the dark.
But the true tragedy of life
is when men are
afraid of the light.
- What are you
talking about, Andre?
- I free myself from
the prisons of my mind.
I refuse to live
the rest of my life
in this miserable fucking place!
There's no gate,
there is no lock
that can be set upon
the freedom of my mind.
Dr. Perkins,
you are free
as am I.
(upbeat rock music)
(dramatic music)
- Directly behind me is
Horton House Penitentiary,
where just yesterday
several inmates escaped,
injuring multiple guards, some
succumbing to their injuries,
while others remain
hospitalized at this time.
When speaking
warden to determine
how something like this
happened, he said, quote,
"All of our staff
are highly trained.
Something like this
took a lot of time,
maybe even years, to plan
and carry out," unquote.
Which leads to
the real question:
how secure are these facilities,
and how safe are you
living near them?
These are the hard questions
that many local residents
would like to have answered.
In the meantime, people are
advised to remain in their homes
and to only answer their doors
to law enforcement officials.
Reporting live from
Horton House Penitentiary,
I'm Carrie King.
(dramatic music)
- With the recent
murder of Mary Bishop,
wife to federal
judge, Jon Bishop,
Andre Volkov and his syndicate
have now made the Fugitive
Recovery Agency's top-10 list.
That makes them the most wanted
organized crime unit in America.
The FRA recently
assigned this case
to its top agent, Daisy Rae.
Rae told News 7,
"We've given state and local
law enforcement agencies
ample time to apprehend them.
Though I think they're
doing a good job,
good just isn't cutting it."
Mary Bishop's murder comes
on the seventh year
since the Horton escape.
Agent Rae seems to
be that fresh face
the public is searching for.
Let's hope Rae and
her team can finally
bring a peaceful
end to this story.
I'm Emily Park with
your updates at eight.
(brooding music)
- Today just got
incredibly messy.
- This is why I've
called you here.
- Wait, this has
something to do with us?
- Brutus.
Gentleman, meet Jim Shepherd.
Over the years, Shepherd
has been convicted
by Judge Bishop on cocaine
trafficking charges.
This makes him the
perfect guinea pig for us.
We got word that our codes
were to be delivered
to the judge,
so we hired Shepherd to
intercept those codes,
take out the judge,
but not his wife.
- Instead, he took the codes
and killed the wrong person.
- Why are we just now
hearing about Shepherd?
- Yeah, we could've taken
care of this ourselves,
instead of hiring
that piece of shit.
- He was supposed to take the
fall for the judge's murder.
He has motive.
There also seems to be
a break in the chain.
Someone within our organization
decided to leak
our codes, and did.
The less you knew,
the easier it would be
for us to find out who.
- So what now?
- Simple.
We find Jim, get our codes back,
zero his ass so he can't
do any more damage.
- There's one more thing.
Jim Shepherd has
a brother. Mathew.
- The FRA agent?
- Yes.
- What the fuck?
- Enough!
I want you to find Jim.
I want you to return what is
ours. Take him to the garage.
Then I want you to find
Mathew. Take him to the barn.
I want you to show
him what happens
to people that
interfere with us.
I want you to show him
his brother's head.
We already have a lead
on Jim's location.
Nick Morse is an FRA
informant for us.
He will have all the
information we need shortly.
- I'll make that call right now.
(upbeat rock music)
You still show no affection
Well, I'll leave it to you
Draw me out like a picture
(cell phone ringing)
(ominous music)
- I was expecting your call.
- Yeah, well, we just found
out about this tonight.
Seems like there's a lot going
on that we don't know about.
And I'm still trying to
figure out how an FRA agent
like yourself is
involved in all of this.
I'll tell you what. I don't
know who to trust anymore.
- I wonder the same
thing from time to time,
but here I am dealing
with the devil.
I'm assuming he needs
some info on Jim?
- Well, yeah,
that's a good start.
- Seems as if your boy is
trying to skip town as we speak.
He's gonna be at Third
Shift bar tomorrow night
to meet some guy named Mario.
they're gonna be a exchanging
funds, and then he's ghost.
- Not if we have
anything to do about it.
- Great. I'll be
there looking pretty.
You're not the only one who
has his neck on the line.
- Well, listen, I got a
few items to take care of.
I'll make sure that my
boys know where to be
and when to be there.
(upbeat rock music)
- Hit me with the good stuff.
Just leave the bottle.
I got the money.
Now I need you to come
through for me. You owe me.
- I owe you nothing.
Brother, you're the one
who left the gates open
and let the of wolves in.
You always see the bait,
but you never see the hook.
Your judgment's all
clouded with that shit
you keep shoving up your nose.
- You finished?
- Yeah, I'm finished.
And believe me, after
this, we're done.
I'm done dealing with your shit.
Dealing with you is eventually
gonna get my fucking ass killed.
- As I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death-
- God. Will you
shut the fuck up?
This is some serious shit.
What you did, most people
don't come back from.
You got a death wish
crossing Volkov.
Look, I can get you papers
and safe transport to Mexico.
But with the risk, it's
gonna cost you extra.
20,000, my man,
and you disappear.
- 10K now, 10K when
I get to Mexico.
Consider yourself
a ghost, my friend.
In a week, you'll be
sipping margaritas
and laying with those
sweet senoritas.
(laughs) That is if you
fucking stay alive long enough.
- Staying alive isn't an issue.
I made sure of that.
I've got my insurance.
Have the boat and
your men ready.
I'll be at the docks first
thing in the morning,
- Brother, I'll catch you
on the other side. I'm out.
- Where the fuck
is this guy going?
(urinal flushing)
- Fuck you, Volkov.
(door squeaking)
- Oh shit, man. I'm sorry.
I didn't even know
you were in here.
- Do you do got anything for us?
- What?
- You know. (sniffs)
- She'll do anything
to get high, man?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's me.
It's confirmed.
Yeah, tomorrow morning.
Get your men ready.
Oh, by the way,
I got some pictures of
what you were looking for.
Yeah, I'll text 'em to you.
I'm done here.
Moving on to his brother.
- [Man] Hey, Jim.
(punch thuds)
- [Man] Lift him up,
lift him up, lift him up.
- What are you doing?
We're not fucking done yet.
Yo, how much more
can this dude take?
You're a tough son
of a bitch, Jimmy,
but you're fucking stupid.
You know taking out the
judge's wife was a big mistake.
Bad move, bro.
- Where's the book?
- Fuck you.
- Where's the book?
We know you have it.
- Fuck you.
- We have all day, motherfucker,
and we'll beat it out
of you if we have to.
- Fuck you. That
hit was my way out.
Book of codes was my insurance.
- No women,
motherfucker. No women!
That was his rule,
and you broke it.
- Fuck her! Fuck you!
- Yo, fuck it, let's preheat
this asshole. Get the gas.
- [Man] Time to
die, motherfucker.
- Enough!
Stand down.
I'm tired of wasting
time, and right now,
Shepherd, time is
not on your side.
I have no tolerance for
anyone that's bullshitting me
and trying to insult
my intelligence,
so we'll make this
very quick and simple.
Where is our motherfucking
book of codes?
- Look, man, that rich
broad was my way out.
I had nothing else.
She was my insurance.
It was easy. Plug her
once right in the head.
- You stupid motherfucker. Them
codes mean everything to us.
And your brother, agent.
A family man.
Wife, daughter.
- [Jim] What? How do you know?
- But what I can't figure out,
why in the fuck you
wanna risk their lives
for being so fucking stupid.
- My family? Fuck you.
They have nothing
to do with this.
The codes, I destroyed all
of them. They mean nothing.
- Fuck me?
Fuck me?
(engine revving)
(brooding music)
(guns cocking)
- Your path begins in hell.
I have come to guide
you away from your sins,
to show you the true
meaning of paradise.
- Salvation.
- Hope not ever to see heaven,
for I will lead you
to the other shore,
through eternal darkness,
through hellfire,
and through ice.
I am the ultimate truth,
the most powerful,
that none can escape.
They know me as death.
- Life is not the end,
and death
is just the beginning.
- I am your fucking reaper.
(suspenseful music)
(engine revving)
(cell phone ringing)
(car honking)
- Rae speaking.
- Rae, it's Jack. Do
you have a moment?
- Absolutely, sir.
I just left the office.
Is everything okay?
- Yes and no.
Are you familiar with
our undercover agent
Mathew Shepherd?
- I don't know him personally,
but I've heard great things
about him from colleagues,
and some amazing stories about
him during training sessions.
Why?
- Unfortunately we just got
word that Shepherd's brother Jim
was executed by Volkov
a couple of days ago.
But before he was captured, he
gave Shepherd a set of codes.
He told Shepherd that
those codes are the key
to taking down Volkov's
entire enterprise.
- Do we have those codes in
our possession right now?
- Yes, but hold on.
Agent Shepherd's
communication went dry
shortly after his
brother's death.
We assume that he
went after Volkov
to try and save his brother.
A few moments ago,
we got a signal
from Shepherd
through our satcom.
Rae, we think Volkov
has Agent Shepherd.
- Oh shit.
Okay, I'll let Nathan
and Marcus know
to get the team
ready to roll out.
- Rae, I need you on
virtual command on this one.
Nathan and Marcus
will be standing by,
should something go wrong.
We need you controlling
this one from the sky.
You should be getting a ping
any moment now with your orders.
See you in a few hours, Daisy.
- Yes, sir.
(heart beating)
(suspenseful music)
- [Andre] I want
you to find Mathew.
Take him to the barn.
I want you to show
him what happens
to people that
interfere with us.
I want you to show him
his brother's head.
- [Agent] Come on, get
this asshole. Let's go.
- [Agent] Get this
son of a bitch out.
Come on guys, Volkov's coming.
Come on, let's get
him. Drive him out now.
Let's get him out out.
Let's get him out!
Come on. Let's go.
(machine gun firing)
(men yelling)
(machine gun firing)
- [Agent] Leader command,
we've intercepted Shepherd.
All Volkov's men are
KIA, except Volkov.
He's nowhere to be found.
- [Daisy] Hang in there, Mathew.
Everything's gonna be okay.
(soft music)
- Breakfast is almost ready.
You know, you're gonna
have to put that away soon.
- I know, Mom. My battery's
almost dead anyways.
- Thank God.
Okay.
All right. Here we go.
- Well, good morning, beautiful.
- I wish you wouldn't do that.
- What?
- Creep up on me like
that. You almost burnt me.
- Can't a man hug his
wife in the morning?
- Ugh, you guys, get
a room. So gross.
- Well, good morning
to you too, princess.
- Well, I'm trying to eat.
Put that grossness away.
- I'm sorry. I just, I didn't
wanna wake you up last night.
- I understand. Don't worry.
I just got this book
from my brother.
It's just filled with
numbers and codes,
and I'm trying to decipher it.
They look like dates, but then
there's this page missing.
I just, I don't know.
- Hmm.
(tires rumbling)
Ugh.
- Look, I'll be right back.
- Babe.
- Look,
I'll just be a moment.
- We talked about this.
- [Mathew] This just a
moment. I'll be right back.
I'm sorry.
- What are you two doing here?
- I apologize, sir, new
information has come in
regarding your brother
and Agent Morse.
We're gonna have to
have you come with us.
- All right. This is
gonna be difficult.
Give me 15 minutes to change.
I'll meet you in the car.
- Okay.
Look, I have to go into work.
- What do you mean you
have to go into work?
After what happened? After
what you've been through?
You told me that you were
done, that you were out.
You couldn't take any more
of this, and neither can I.
- Something has come up.
I promise, I'm just going
in to give them a statement.
- Something always comes up.
Rachel, go to your room.
- Go to my room,
seriously? What am I, five?
- I need to talk to
your father, alone.
- You guys are so weird.
- What the hell is going on?
- Listen to me.
This is important.
- Your brother is dead.
You were almost killed.
What could be more
important than your family?
- I don't wanna-
- Or better yet, your life?
- Look, I don't
wanna argue with you.
- Then don't.
Tell them they need to
handle this on their own.
This is not your fight anymore.
- I owe this to Jimmy.
- Jimmy is dead.
- Honey.
I have no choice.
I promise, I'm just
going in to give them
information from the
book, then I'm out.
- I just...
Damn them!
Just promise me
that you'll come back
home to your family alive.
- I promise. I'll be back.
I love you both so much.
- And this means, with the
upgrade on the software,
it will improve the response
time for headquarters data
at simulation and
transfer by about 20%.
In the field, it's
even more impressive,
as the encryption time
is about 30% faster
than on our current equipment.
(telephone ringing)
- Hello?
- Shall I send Shepherd up?
- Yes.
- Confirmed.
- He's here, sir.
- Thank you, Brian.
I think we'll all agree
that we're making
excellent progress.
When can we use
this in the field?
- Oh, I would estimate that
within the next 48 hours, sir.
- Very good. Any
further questions?
- Are there any handsets
that aren't compatible
with the upgrade?
- As of now, that
won't be a problem.
All the tests confirm
that the equipment
is compatible and up to date.
- Anyone else?
No?
All right, everyone.
Shepherd's here.
Our number one
priority is the capture
and prosecution of Andre Volkov.
Our second priority is
to decipher the codes
given to us by Agent Shepherd.
- How much does
Shepherd know, sir?
- After what he's been through,
he's our best shot at
bringing down Andre Volkov.
- I think, with these
codes and his input,
we're moving in the
right direction.
Sir, I'll update him on
any previous conversations
with Agent Morse.
- Agreed.
My team of engineers
are standing by,
and as soon as we get an
update, we'll file a report.
The system is 98%
complete as we speak.
- I can provide any
additional technical support
from my department as well.
- Ah, Mathew. This is
Agent Shepherd, everyone.
Mathew, thanks you for
coming. How are you?
My condolences
about your brother.
- Thank you.
I'm intrigued by all this cloak
and dagger stuff, Springer.
- (chuckles) I haven't been
called that in a long time.
In case any of you didn't know,
Springer was my nickname when
I was an agent in the field.
Mathew and I have worked
a few cases together.
There'll be time for war
stories and introductions later.
All right.
The object of this briefing is
to bring Mathew up to speed.
- Thank you, sir.
Let me begin with a summary
based on the information
we already have on our
primary target, Andre Volkov.
- Sorry to interrupt.
If I can help save us all some,
lemme just tell you
what I already know.
My brother Jimmy was no
saint. We all know that.
After his time spent in the
Marines, he was a changed man.
His PTSD and his
addictions was something
that no one in our
family could understand.
He managed to maintain
a few qualities
he picked up in the service,
a skill that every
agent must acquire.
For my brother, it came
quite naturally to him.
To put it crudely, if you were
to be part of an organization
that routinely kills people,
yeah, Jimmy would do that.
I feel like he fell in too deep,
and he was looking for
any way to get out.
That's where this book
of codes comes into play.
- Okay, Mathew. Any idea why?
- As I said, Jimmy
was a chancer.
If he's getting what he needs
out of a situation, fine.
I imagine, being part of
a criminal organization,
the temptation to outdo that
organization would be too much.
He probably ripped
them off in some way.
That's why he needed
to get out quick.
That's why he sent me what
he did, the book of codes,
as an insurance policy.
- What do you think?
- That's where these
codes come into play.
I feel like you have
a team capable enough
to figure this out.
I've done my part. Now I
wanna see Volkov taken down.
My life. My brother.
- Mathew, we understand.
- Your operation is
at a crisis point.
You're hoping I'm gonna
bring some new angle
you all haven't explored.
You think I'm gonna
do whatever it takes
to bring down Volkov,
and you're right.
- Well, you certainly
have our attention.
- I reviewed the initial
summary in the car.
It's not so much about
what's in the summary
as to what's not.
Look, we all know
why we're here.
This is a guy who escapes
prison, kills six guards,
disappears, comes back
as a criminal mastermind.
This is a blind man? This
doesn't make any sense.
You guys are trying
to capture a shadow.
The only way to do that
is to turn the shadow
into flesh and blood.
(gunshots popping)
- HQ's on the phone.
(bell ringing)
- Hold your fire!
The line is cold!
- Come on.
Yes, sir?
- [Jack] Is your team ready?
- Yes, we are ready.
- [Jack] How much longer until
your training's complete?
- Yes, we are just
finishing up here, sir.
- [Jack] Do you have
the new handsets?
- Yes, sir.
- [Jack] You'll need to
update them immediately.
- Yes, sir. Yes.
- [Jack] Are you
confident your team
is ready for the operation?
- Yes, we are ready to
move in on the target, sir.
- [Jack] Excellent.
- Is Agent Shepherd
with you, sir.
- I have Shepherd
right here with me.
- Agent Shepherd, it is an
honor to speak with you.
- [Mathew] Likewise.
- On behalf of the team,
I just wanna say how much
we value your contribution,
and we wanna reassure you we
have all of our angles covered.
We're on a tight watch,
but we'll move in as soon
as everything is present.
I guess you know the score?
- We're uploading the
data and the codes
right now onto the computer,
and I'm confident
this information
is gonna lead us in
the right direction.
- All right. See you
on the other side.
- Thanks, Agent Rae.
You ready?
- Let's get to work.
- Marcus, can you let the
team know we're ready?
- Oh yeah. Finally.
- Rae.
- Nathan.
- The time has finally come.
Speaking of finally,
maybe we can finally
finish where we started
after this is all said and done.
- Seriously, Nathan? You're
bringing this up right now?
- Yeah.
- No, it's over, Nathan.
It's been over for years,
but you keep at this.
I don't have a choice.
- I know this means the world
to you to get Volkov. I know.
But what are you going
to do when it's over?
Look, we've been so close.
- We've been close, and look
where that got us, Nathan.
We've been close so many times.
I need you, I need your head
in this now. Do you understand?
I need you. I need you to focus.
We can talk about this
later, but I need you.
I need your head in the
game now. Do you understand?
- Yeah.
- Now.
(upbeat music)
- Fuck!
(gunshots popping)
(bell ringing)
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] (indistinct).
Initiating startup sequence.
Credentials verified.
FRA login 223475.
Agent Rae, Agent Shepherd,
it is my pleasure
to be assisting you.
Your GPS coordinates confirm
you are one click
away from the target.
FRA systems have provided
you the green light.
You may move in when ready.
Proceed with caution.
- All right, here's
the plan, guys.
You four are gonna breach.
Rae, you and I, we're gonna
search outside. Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
(radio chattering)
- [Agent] The attic's clear.
- Clear.
(radio chattering)
- Clear.
- Shepherd's here.
Room's clear.
- Rae, the house is clear.
Nothing but old furniture
and cobwebs here.
What's your location?
(radio chattering)
Look, you two sit tight.
Keep looking around and
see if you find anything
that identifies
where Volkov went.
Radio in when you
have something.
- Yes, sir.
(soft music)
(sighs) I feel like
we're chasing a ghost.
- Tell me about it.
How Rae shoots.
Hey, bro, what's going
on with you and Rae?
You used to have a thing,
and now she's always on edge
every time you're near her.
- Man, don't get me started.
I tried talking to her
at the firing range,
and all she gave me was
this "do your job" bullshit.
I don't know.
Volkov has really
fucked things up.
- Man, hell yeah.
Don't take this the wrong way.
She's obsessed, man.
I can't have a decent
conversation with her
without thinking
something's on her mind.
Is that the reason
you two split?
- Yeah, something like that.
(brooding music)
- I sense your anger.
I can smell your fear.
This can go one of two ways.
Either you're here
with me on the take,
like your father,
or you're here to put me
down, as I did your father.
You're a good cop Agent Rae.
Either way,
you're dirty.
- Who are you to
talk about fathers?
You have no authority
to talk about my father.
You didn't know him, and you
had no right to take his life.
- We live by codes.
You live by a code.
It's what brought you here.
0125. The final
entry in my journal.
The journal which you have
in your possession now.
My book of souls. You call it
the book of codes, I believe.
January 25th. Today's date.
The day that I laid
my father to rest.
The day that I returned
home and mourn him.
- Oh, so you know what
it's like to lose a father.
- They never found
your father's body.
He's here.
- What are you talking
about, "He's here"?
- You're standing at his grave.
They are all here.
- Put your hands up, now.
- Volkov, show us your hands.
- Put your-
Agent Shepherd,
stay out of this.
Put your hands up right now.
- Rae, don't do this.
We can take him alive.
- Put your hands up now!
Put your hands up right now!
You really want me
to pull the trigger?
Put your hands up right now.
- Come on, my love.
- Hands up right now.
- Finish it. Think!
- I don't have time for this!
- Think, Daisy.
- [Daisy] I'm think right now!
Put your hands up right now!
Hands up right now!
- I grow tired of waiting.
- Just breathe.
- Agent Rae-
- Wanna talk about waiting?
- She does it to
me all the time,
except she doesn't
just ignore me.
I get bitched at
at the same time.
- Hey, check that, man.
- Time's up!
- No! Put your hands up now!
- Tick-tock goes the clock.
- [Daisy] No!
- Oh fuck!
(explosion booming)
- I feel the light, father.
It's so cleansing.
It's pure.
The light dies with me.
(gunshot pops)
- Rae, what did you do?
- I, I didn't fire.
- Your salvation is at hand.
(Andre gurgles)
- Andre.
Andre.
Andre, can you hear me? Andre.
Andre.
Andre, you kept calling
me Agent Rae. Why is that?
You do know I'm
Dr. Perkins, right?
Andre, we've been working
at this for 45 years now.
I thought we were making
tremendous progress.
But it seems that
every single time
we get to the very
end of your story,
you seem to shut
down, catatonic.
I've been meaning to
tell you something.
I'm retiring next week.
So I'm sorry to say, this
is our very last meeting.
Now, don't worry,
I want you to know,
I transferred all of my files
over to my colleague, Dr. Eaton,
and I made sure I found
somebody that is just like me
to take great care of you.
You're in good
hands, I promise you.
Andre, I want you to know
that nothing in this
wicked world is permanent.
Please remember that.
Not even our troubles, okay?
It was a pleasure
working with you, Andre.
Hi, Dr. Nash.
Yes, this is Dr. Perkins.
I'm at interview room four.
If you could do me a favor
and send somebody over
to take Andre back to his cell.
I think he's had another
psychotic episode.
Oh, perfect, I hear them
coming. Thank you so much.
(door slams)
Hello. Thank you so much.
Andre, I just have
one more thing to say.
Andre, always remember,
your salvation is at hand.
I went on to win the American
Psychological Association
Humanitarian Award for my
studies of Andre Volkov.
He created another world
just to escape this one,
and he believed every bit of it.
It goes to show you
that the mind of man
is capable of anything.
After all, who really
knows what reality is?
From joy, fear,
sorrow, devotion,
and rage, Andre
experienced it all.
But in the end, Andre met
the one thing in this world
he couldn't beat, death.
Andre Volkov never saw
the following morning,
as he passed in his
sleep inside his cell,
fading away from this world
(lock rattling)
into the next.
(brooding rock music)
Call it war
Or maybe first defense
I won't buy everything
You sell me
So choose your
fiction carefully
Amnesia is easier
Than living in a
land of ignorance
But your making fair share
So cut out
Take my temperature
Dictate my feelings
We're here
For our recognition
(upbeat hip-hop music)
Yeah
Gotta aim for the top, like
Hello, yo
I can never doubt
myself, I know better
All of you critics be
acting like you know better
Blowing the smoke, but I
know when the dust settles
So I'm in my element
It's everything that
this level city game
All of those dark
nights, I got them
Breaking my back
to make it out
Got me feeling like pain
I ain't never need your help
I know you're
wishing me well
A penny for your thoughts,
but seeing no change
A snap for the
sun like Diddy
The rich-ass got mad-ass
son, I'm like Billy
I ain't never switched
your whole team with me
But known for my
city, like O-H, easy
Set the pace, as
long as you finish
Consumers find a way
inside your business
Babbling, they try
to dabble in it
And they hate the fact that
they may have to witness death
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
Keep that same energy
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
In my element,
flow is like water
I'm forced through the
fire, I'm feeling like gold
Gotta stay grinding,
stay down to earth
Following God, and
you grinding, you
do as you're told
I don't work to
make you like me
But I'm front and
center, word to Spike Lee
And God came in
the nick of time
They think I'm
crazy, but I might be
Just running up,
running up, running up
We're beating their
asses to sum it up
You know it's a wrap
now for waistlines
And I'm cutting the
weight like a tummy tuck
That mean I'm about to
give it up right now
You see what's coming down
the line, I never pipe down
I give 100% of me, trying
to stand on my enemies
In my element, it's
crazy, it's the mic sound
I'm in the zone
Give me the chrome
One shot, that's
all that you've got
That's all that I know
Foot on the gas
155 on the road
You could be a friend
of me, an enemy
Keep that same old
energy, 'cause I know
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
Keep that same energy
I'm in my element
Never switch, yo,
never switch, yo
Never switch, yo
Keep that same energy
Never switch, yo
I'm in my element
(brooding music)
(gate slams)
(ominous music)
- Coop!
- Don't fucking move.
You're fucking moving.
Put your hands up.
Keep your fucking hands up.
Motherfuckers can't
hear nowadays.
- Your shirt.
(chain rattling)
Damn, hurry up.
- You can go faster than that.
- Damn, tick-tock,
motherfucker. Come on.
- Are you finished? You done?
Welcome to Hotel Horton House.
Hey, now. We hope
you enjoy your stay.
- Piece of work,
like always, Coop.
Hey, kid.
Do yourself a favor, all
right, keep to yourself,
'cause it's first night is
always the hardest, all right?
It's always the hardest,
and this whole entire lot
is gonna do anything
it can to get to you.
Don't let 'em.
All right?
(soft music)
(gate slams)
(soft music continues)
(telephone ringing)
(telephone ringing)
- Hello?
- Yeah, Angela.
Um, Dr. Perkins, I'm
sorry. This is Bill Nash.
I'm the resident physician
at Horton House Penitentiary.
I'm very sorry to call so late,
but I've had something
come across my desk
that I think really
fits your criteria.
- It's after midnight.
- I know, and I
apologize again, but, um,
Doctor, does the name Andre
Volkov mean anything to you?
- No, I'm sorry.
Andre Volkov? No, that doesn't.
Never heard of him.
- Andre Volkov was committed
to the juvenile justice system
a few years ago on
a charge of murder.
He was 14 at the time.
He just turned 18, and
as of this morning,
he's been transferred
to Horton House.
I've been looking over his file
and I can tell you right now
this young man is gonna
need some extra attention.
In my professional opinion,
he's a psychiatric goldmine.
That's what I'm calling you.
My main concern is that, if he
doesn't get the proper care,
he's gonna get lost in
the system permanently.
I'll be honest with you, Doctor,
my job here is just sewing
up cuts after fights.
I don't really do
psychiatric evaluations.
- I suppose I can
look over his file.
Quick question, Dr. Nash.
Do you know when I'll
be able to see him?
- Well, he just
arrived this morning,
so there's a period
of adjustment.
Call it 60 days.
- Thank you, Dr. Nash.
If you could just do me
a favor in the morning,
can you fax
everything over to me?
I promise I'll review
the paperwork over
the next few weeks,
prepare a case
for him on my end.
So I'll see you in a couple
of months. Is that all right?
- Sounds great.
You have a good
evening, Dr. Perkins.
- Thank you. Have a good night.
- [Andre] Time on the
outside moves different
than on the inside.
Being incarcerated,
time stands still,
especially as a child.
This day marks the beginning,
the start of your
greatest challenge.
Looking back, we were so young.
You never knew I would become
your greatest accomplishment.
- Well, this is it.
Little early, ma'am, so we'll
bring him in in a few minutes.
- Okay, good. Will give me
time to set things up a bit.
And by the way, thank you
so much for the tour before.
It was very interesting
- Oh, my pleasure.
My pleasure. Be right back.
(brooding music)
- Stop, hands on the table. Sit.
- Behave yourself, son.
The hold is no place
for someone your age.
Officer Torres and I will be
right out front if you need us.
Also, we'll be
watching from above.
- Thank you.
Good morning, Andre.
My name is Dr. Perkins,
and I'm going to be spending
a great deal of time with you,
trying to understand why
and how you got here.
I've been reviewing
your file, and I see
there's been a great deal
of turmoil in your life.
Do you mind if we discuss
some of those things today?
I can tell there are many
things troubling you,
aren't there?
I mean, what kind of father
blinds a little boy
with boiling water?
Oh God. That's sick.
Freaking monster.
Sorry.
You know, Andre, I really
want to understand,
especially from
your perspective.
And as you know, these
reports can be very one-sided,
and honestly, the only side
I want to hear is yours.
Can you talk to me, Andre?
Andre, are you listening to me?
Andre, you've been
through so much.
I can't even begin
to imagine how scared
and angry you must have been
witnessing your father
murdering your beloved mother.
And now, this boy,
this boy in the file,
who lashed out
uncontrollably in the middle
of the greatest
trauma imaginable
is branded a danger
when he's the victim.
How does that make you feel?
Andre, you really
got to open up to me.
I have a feeling there
aren't too many people
racing to be on your side.
Let's not talk about that.
Let's move on to something else.
Yes, I'm very curious to
hear about your relationship
with Father O'Malley.
- Stop!
- Andre.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Here, let me give you
something for your eyes.
Can I help with your
eyes? Do you mind?
- I can do it myself.
- Okay. It's right here.
I don't see why not.
Take your time. It's okay.
Andre.
Are you ready?
- Yes.
- Good.
Let's go back to the
very beginning, shall we?
(crickets chirping)
(melancholy music)
- [Andre] It felt as if I
had been walking for days.
The hard concrete
beneath my feet.
The smell of wildflowers
and the chirping of crickets
took my mind off the
horror I just experienced.
I can still all the
whiskey on your breath.
I can hear the
rage in your voice.
I had nowhere to hide.
Mother.
I'm sorry.
I wish I had done
more to protect you.
Evil comes in many forms.
That day, evil was my father.
She was so caring.
She was my life.
(kettle whistling)
You took everything from me.
You boiled the
windows to my soul.
Because of you,
I live in a world of darkness.
So much anger, fear, and panic
filled the air around me.
My hands, sore and
stained with the earth.
You made me bury my own mother.
My only friend, my
eyes on the world.
And on this day, by my
hands, you feel my pain.
Over
and over
and over.
I now know anger.
I now know death.
For I have seen evil.
(laid-back music)
I like it here (indistinct)
The scurrying
of small animals
The rustle and the
bustle of the wind
Autumn's leaves
are jangly dancing
September skips
a modest breeze
- Young man.
Are you okay?
What you doing out
here all alone?
I know you, right?
What are your parents?
Listen, my brother and I,
we've got an orphanage
we run nearby.
Why don't we get you some
water, some food, some rest?
You can be reunited
with your family there.
You'll be safe at the orphanage.
Your salvation's at hand.
- [Andre] Father O'Malley
talked a lot on our journey.
Maybe it was to fill the
gap, because I said nothing,
nor did I really listen to him.
After all, what
was there to say?
At an age when other children
were playing ball in the street,
I had already
murdered my father.
- Father Seamus, children,
come downstairs, please.
Declan's here with a child.
(Seamus sighs)
- Brought me another
stray, have you, Declan?
- That's no way to talk
about a child of the Lord.
Found him wandering alone,
like a lamb cleaved
from the flock.
And I'm supposed to believe
that this particular lamb
you met through
sheer happenstance?
- Ah, happenstance,
God's will, karma,
call it what you will.
The boy needs our help,
as you can clearly see.
When have we turned
away a child in need?
- Well, it seems to
be in both your favors
that attendance is
light right now.
Get the boy cleaned up.
Then get him in with
the other children
for prayer and a meal.
And then find his
parents immediately.
- Feed the body and
the soul. Perfect.
Might I suggest you
do the same, brother?
- See me in my office as
soon as the boys are fed.
- Say hello, boys.
- Hello.
- All right, all
right. Break it.
Come on now. Come on.
Give him a change
of clothes, Declan.
Sister, Margaret.
What are these boys just
doing standing around here?
Telling me you've done
all your Bible studies?
Your homework? Your chores?
Come on, find an
occupation. Let's go.
- Let's go, boys.
- Have a lovely morning, Sister.
- You too, Father.
- For God's sake.
(crickets chirping)
(ominous music)
Well, do they have any leads?
No, no, no, the boy
is here with us now.
Appears to be traumatized, yeah.
We found him
wandering the roads.
No.
No, that's, it's not
necessary, Sheriff.
I mean...
No, the boy is in good
hands with us here.
I appreciate it.
Sheriff, we have ways of
protecting ourselves, all right?
Thank you. Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Good day.
They're dead.
- Who?
- The parents.
The father.
The mother.
- Dear Lord.
- It was a brutal, bloody scene.
It's a miracle the boy escaped.
Are you happy?
- Are you serious?
- Deadly serious.
Well, you've really
stepped in it this time
with your bleeding heart.
- This child is your
responsibility now.
- All of these children
are my responsibility.
Have I not served
penance enough for ya?
Now, now we're all in the
shadow of the sinful. All of us.
- Only God can judge when
your penance is finished.
Not you, not me.
Only God.
Would you like to take
confession, Seamus?
- Go to hell, Declan.
- Already there,
brother. Already there.
- Hello, Andre.
Sister Margaret
tells me that, uh,
you haven't spoken
or eaten, so, uh,
I thought, instead of going
down to the dining hall,
I'd bring a little something
special up to you here, huh?
Andre.
I've known of you
for a long time.
Of your entire family.
I mean, it's a small
town, you know, and,
well,
your mother,
your mother
was
known to the church.
She was quite devout, you know.
As good a soul as I've
ever known, actually.
I am so sorry for
your loss, dear child.
And I am so terribly sorry for
the horrors that you
personally have been through.
No, no, it's all right.
I understand.
No, no, I understand.
Trust is hard right now.
Just know this, Andre.
From here on, this is your home.
I mean, not this
room in particular,
but this entire orphanage.
All right, you know?
And tomorrow,
we'll begin the
process of healing.
You'll sleep with the
other children, you know.
You'll down in the dining
hall with everyone and
you'll make friends
and occupations.
Life.
As hard as it is to believe
right now, dear child,
life does go on.
God has seen fit to
throw us together,
whether we're ready
for it or not.
And it is up to us to decide
whether we will allow
ourselves to be devoured by
evil or fight against it.
You have lived in the
darkness for far too long.
Tomorrow,
tomorrow we search
for the light.
Your mother was the
light, dear child.
Don't let it die with her.
- [Andre] The hammer was a
representation of my soul.
- Andre, time for lunch!
- [Andre] I knew I had to hide
my soul swift and quickly.
- Hey.
My name's Jimmy.
What's your name?
- He can't hear you. He's blind.
- Hey, stop picking on him!
- Boys.
- Maybe I'll pick
on you instead.
- Right.
Quiet down,
children. Quiet down.
- Good morning, children.
- Good morning, Father.
- Morning, Father O'Malley.
- Well, that was not very
impressive, now was it?
Has the Lord not provided you
with a lovely
repast this morning?
I say let's try again.
What do you say, Sister?
- Let's try that again.
- [Boys] Good morning,
Father O'Malley.
- Marginally better.
All right, well, we've a very
special morning here today.
Our family here at the Big
House has grown by one,
and I'd love to introduce
each and every one of you here
to our newest member of
the flock, Andre Volkov.
- Welcome to the Big House.
- Our happy, happy home.
- Heartfelt.
All right.
Jimmy.
Jimmy,
what is that?
- Hey!
- The Lone Ranger and Tonto.
What have I told you
about having that?
- Hey, come on.
- Well, that is adorable.
Very nice, very nice.
All right.
As your boys can see, Andre
is a special needs child,
and he's gonna need
a little extra help
here around the house.
You know, just finding
his way and settling in.
I'm gonna need a
volunteer, one of you,
who can be his guide.
- He's the Lone Ranger,
and I can be his Tonto.
- All right, Jimmy.
Well done, laddie.
You can keep that.
So,
welcome, Andre.
Let's make him all
feel at home, shall we?
So if you'll excuse me,
Father Declan and I have
a little work to do.
Sister, let's get them
through their paces, shall we?
- Yes, Father.
Let's clear the table, boys,
and then we can get
to your other chores.
- You know, that name
of yours is real stupid.
I think after breakfast I'm
gonna give the blind boy
a proper-
- His name is Andre.
- I don't give a damn
what his name is.
You know, if you're so
intent on being his friend,
I think I'll extend the
invitation to you as well.
You better watch your back.
Well, I guess you can't.
- Let's go, boys. Your
other chores are waiting.
- (scoffs) Sister
Margaret, Declan,
well, you don't seriously
mean to tell me that,
that this boy was
given a whooping by
Andre, who cannot see,
or Jimmy, who doesn't have
a vicious bone in his body?
- That's what seems
to have happened.
- Seems to be?
- Peter has a pretty
nasty cut on his head.
- Huh.
Well, I don't suppose the two
of you had the common sense
to interview the boys separately
before they were able
to concoct this story?
- This isn't the Spanish
Inquisition, Seamus.
They're children.
- Yeah, children who come to
us burdened by their past.
Each one of them have
a hard background.
Aren't you the one
who's consistently
reminding me of that, Declan.
These boys, without exception,
have had a hard life.
But I have to say,
if Jimmy
and Andre,
while being traumatized enough,
I don't find it hard to believe.
But Peter, who may have
found it a wee bit of fun
to have trouble
with a blind boy.
Well, if they stood
up for themselves,
well, I'm not gonna
punish them for it.
- A punishment? Atonement?
Oh, you're one to speak,
Seamus, all right?
You run off to the church,
leaving me with your
parents in the old country.
- I'm, answerable to
God, not you, Declan.
I am not now,
and you have not been appointed
your brother's keeper.
Not now, not ever.
I am still the elder
in this relationship,
and I'm the head
of this household,
and you would be well to
remember that, by God.
I am not an
unreasonable man, boyos.
I'm not.
I understand, and
I have no doubt
that this incident may have
shaken you up a wee bit.
So I'll say that the
damage to your pride
and to your head, Peter,
may be more than
enough for right now.
I might.
However,
I've gotten together
with Sister Margaret,
and we have devised
a very long, painful,
and slow session of Bible
study for each one of you,
on top of your extra efforts.
- Why am I getting
punished? It was Peter!
- Shut up.
- Well, you need
to consider this.
Choices have consequences.
And you gotta ask
yourself this question:
is the price for your choice
more than you are
willing to pay?
It's a very harsh world
that we live in, boyos,
and it doesn't take a lot extra
to be kind to those around ya.
I think we need to find ways
to help each other. Agreed?
Agreed?
Andre may be blind, boyos,
but I, Sister Margaret, and
God most assuredly are not.
We'll be keeping
our eyes on you.
Dismissed?
- For now.
- Get the hell out of here. Go.
(Seamus sighs)
Oh, Andre.
What are we to do with you, boy?
(crickets chirping)
God.
Why punish him when
it's me who sinned?
- Maybe you've had
enough, Seamus.
- (scoffs) Oh, there's not
enough whiskey in the world
to make me forget what's
happened here, Declan.
Have you read the report?
Have you seen the torture
this boy has gone through?
I mean, the amount of agony
and pain that he's gone through
now being transferred to every
soul his life has touched,
and I'm to blame.
- Ah, you couldn't have known.
- Oh, I know.
I knew I was poisoned
from the moment
I left you and the family
and the parents back in Cork.
I ran. I ran as far as I could.
Oh, Declan, you
shoulda let me go.
You shoulda let me go,
but God will chase a sinner
to perdition and back.
Even the devil will.
- Maybe we should pray on
this together, brother.
- To hell with that.
I need to atone.
I need to confess. I
need to come clean.
- You need to sleep.
You need to sober up.
You're no good to
anyone like this.
- I never have been.
You were the good one. Hmm.
Oh, cheers to that.
You were the good one.
Mm.
The pride, the pride
of clan O'Malley.
The good child. The protector.
- You were first. I
only ever followed you.
- Well,
I killed that, Seamus, didn't I?
There's no amount of confession
that'll ever put
things right again.
Bring in
the boy.
- No.
- Oh, God sake, Declan.
Just bring him in.
You know I need to atone.
You're the one who's told
me I have to do that.
Let's get this thing right.
- I have concerns for the boy.
- (sighs) That's
why he has to know.
He needs to know. I need to
tell him it's not his fault.
No, no, it's me. I'm
the one who's doomed.
No, no, Declan, he
can still be saved.
- Sleep on this,
Seamus, I beg you.
- I've been sleeping
my entire life.
No, I'm wide awake now.
I need to do this while I can.
I beg of you. I pray of you.
Oh, Declan.
Send in the boy.
Alone.
- Fine.
But you won't be
needing any of this.
- (scoffs) No, it's okay.
I'm numb already.
I've got everything I need
right here on the desk.
I'm locked and
loaded with the Lord.
- This is a volatile situation.
Be gentle.
- Of course.
Of course.
(melancholy music)
Even if it kills me.
Yeah, though I walk
through the shadow
of the valley of death.
- [Seamus] Good night, wee lad.
- Hello, Andre.
It's been quite the week
we've had here, hasn't it?
Hey, do you mind if
I tell you story?
Is it all right?
All right.
Yes, let's start
with a beautiful woman, but
trouble, you understand?
Oh.
And where do the troubled
and lost sheep go
when they're having
difficulties?
Andre, they go to our
dear Holy Mother Church.
And that's what she did.
And she met an
impressionable young priest.
You know, he did
everything he could
to possibly help her, Andre.
He...
You know, it's not her
fault. It's not her fault.
I mean, when someone
is kind to you
after you've dealt with
so much pain in your life,
well, Andre,
it's natural to develop
feelings, is it not, Andre?
Yeah.
The only problem is,
he began to develop
feelings himself.
He broke his vows.
He broke his vows to
himself, to his family,
to his church, to his God.
But Andre,
Andre,
Andre, he loved her.
Andre,
this man, this
man would've left.
He would've gone with her.
He wanted to go with her.
But the church, oh, they
wouldn't have it, no.
"Scandal!", they
cried. "Scandal!"
And they moved him,
they moved him far away
where he could do
nothing more for her.
He was gone, Andre.
He was gone, but, oh,
oh, she followed,
Andre. She followed him.
He was at a new church, but she,
she moved to an area nearby.
She moved to an
area nearby, Andre,
and he didn't know
until she showed up
on the other side of the
confessional team to him.
- Who?
- And she told him.
That's when she
told him, she said,
she told him that he was the...
You gotta understand,
she was pregnant, Andre.
Andre, she was with child,
and he found out then
that he was the father.
He reacted in horror,
but he did not know.
And she told him. He said, "It's
all right, it's all right."
And she gave, she wanted
to give something to him.
Andre, Andre,
Andre,
a chain, Andre.
She had a silver chain.
And on this silver
chain was a tooth.
He found out later that it
was a wolf's tooth, Andre.
But...
No, no, no, no, no.
This, this, this belongs to you.
Son, this belongs
to you, you see?
- Who is the priest?
- It's your birthright.
It's your birthright.
It's an heirloom.
It's what she wanted.
But you know, she
left so quickly.
He turned and he ran
from the confessional
with this chain in his hand,
and he looked, and all he
could see is her leaving.
The last he saw of
her as she leaves.
Oh, Andre, Andre.
- You?
- Andre, you have to understand.
He had no choice.
He didn't know.
He didn't know!
- My father!
- Yes, Andre. Andre,
I'm the priest.
He sent money. He sent money.
And his brother would keep
an eye and watch the family,
but he had no idea how bad
things had gotten, Andre.
He didn't know.
- Father!
- Yes, Andre. It's me, Andre.
Andre, oh, my dear boy.
My dear boy, you've
got to understand.
It's not that we I wanted
things, but you know,
you know, we discovered
the hammer, boy.
We know. We know where
you buried the hammer.
We know it was you, Andre.
We found the hammer
that you buried.
But that's okay.
Andre, listen to me.
No, listen to me, Andre.
We'll take care of you.
I'll hide it. The
church is good at that.
The church is good at
taking care of things.
We reburied the hammer.
You're all gonna be all right?
- No!
- Yes, Andre.
Yes, it's me. I'm your father.
- I am your father!
- Andre, yes.
- No, get off me!
- Andre, it's me.
- You killed me.
I am your father.
I own you, boy.
- Leave her alone!
- No, Andre, it's fine.
You understand me?
- No!
- No, I do anything
to your mother.
We tried to help you.
- Stop hurting my mother,
you bastard!
- I didn't hurt your mother.
It's someone else.
I'm not that man.
- I am your father, Andre.
(Andre screaming)
(Andre weeping)
- What have you done, boy?
What have you...
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
- Hello, Andre.
Happy 40th birthday.
I brought you
something sweet to eat.
I'm sorry. They won't let me
light any candles in here.
Are you ready to get started?
All right.
So according to my notes,
we lived off at the part where
you murdered Father O'Malley.
Your version is quite different
from the police
report, I must say.
But I take their reports
with a grain of salt anyways.
And you also mentioned
something about loyalty
and other individuals
whom you've met at Horton.
There's something
about the Great Exit.
Can you tell me more about that?
- My soul's been troubled, yes.
But what would I say?
"Father, save me from
this hour."? (laughs)
One with unreliable friends
soon come to ruin.
Just as there are those
friends that have a bond
that's stronger
than a brotherhood.
In here,
I found the ruins.
In fact, I find it
quite coincidental
that you're here
to witness this.
- Witness what, Andre?
- The true meaning
of solidarity.
Like wolves.
A pack.
What time do you
have, Dr. Perkins?
- It's 11:43. It's almost
time for lunch, Andre.
- Yes, feeding time.
Let the wolves eat.
(upbeat rock music)
- Home, sweet home. (indistinct)
- No talking,
inmate. (indistinct)
- Hey, enter your cell.
Right now. Let's go.
- Get the fuck on in your cell!
(inmate laughs)
- Can you believe
this motherfucker?
(inmate laughs)
- Now!
Now!
Now!
(alarm blaring)
- What on Earth is going on?
- It's easy to forgive the
boy who's afraid of the dark.
But the true tragedy of life
is when men are
afraid of the light.
- What are you
talking about, Andre?
- I free myself from
the prisons of my mind.
I refuse to live
the rest of my life
in this miserable fucking place!
There's no gate,
there is no lock
that can be set upon
the freedom of my mind.
Dr. Perkins,
you are free
as am I.
(upbeat rock music)
(dramatic music)
- Directly behind me is
Horton House Penitentiary,
where just yesterday
several inmates escaped,
injuring multiple guards, some
succumbing to their injuries,
while others remain
hospitalized at this time.
When speaking
warden to determine
how something like this
happened, he said, quote,
"All of our staff
are highly trained.
Something like this
took a lot of time,
maybe even years, to plan
and carry out," unquote.
Which leads to
the real question:
how secure are these facilities,
and how safe are you
living near them?
These are the hard questions
that many local residents
would like to have answered.
In the meantime, people are
advised to remain in their homes
and to only answer their doors
to law enforcement officials.
Reporting live from
Horton House Penitentiary,
I'm Carrie King.
(dramatic music)
- With the recent
murder of Mary Bishop,
wife to federal
judge, Jon Bishop,
Andre Volkov and his syndicate
have now made the Fugitive
Recovery Agency's top-10 list.
That makes them the most wanted
organized crime unit in America.
The FRA recently
assigned this case
to its top agent, Daisy Rae.
Rae told News 7,
"We've given state and local
law enforcement agencies
ample time to apprehend them.
Though I think they're
doing a good job,
good just isn't cutting it."
Mary Bishop's murder comes
on the seventh year
since the Horton escape.
Agent Rae seems to
be that fresh face
the public is searching for.
Let's hope Rae and
her team can finally
bring a peaceful
end to this story.
I'm Emily Park with
your updates at eight.
(brooding music)
- Today just got
incredibly messy.
- This is why I've
called you here.
- Wait, this has
something to do with us?
- Brutus.
Gentleman, meet Jim Shepherd.
Over the years, Shepherd
has been convicted
by Judge Bishop on cocaine
trafficking charges.
This makes him the
perfect guinea pig for us.
We got word that our codes
were to be delivered
to the judge,
so we hired Shepherd to
intercept those codes,
take out the judge,
but not his wife.
- Instead, he took the codes
and killed the wrong person.
- Why are we just now
hearing about Shepherd?
- Yeah, we could've taken
care of this ourselves,
instead of hiring
that piece of shit.
- He was supposed to take the
fall for the judge's murder.
He has motive.
There also seems to be
a break in the chain.
Someone within our organization
decided to leak
our codes, and did.
The less you knew,
the easier it would be
for us to find out who.
- So what now?
- Simple.
We find Jim, get our codes back,
zero his ass so he can't
do any more damage.
- There's one more thing.
Jim Shepherd has
a brother. Mathew.
- The FRA agent?
- Yes.
- What the fuck?
- Enough!
I want you to find Jim.
I want you to return what is
ours. Take him to the garage.
Then I want you to find
Mathew. Take him to the barn.
I want you to show
him what happens
to people that
interfere with us.
I want you to show him
his brother's head.
We already have a lead
on Jim's location.
Nick Morse is an FRA
informant for us.
He will have all the
information we need shortly.
- I'll make that call right now.
(upbeat rock music)
You still show no affection
Well, I'll leave it to you
Draw me out like a picture
(cell phone ringing)
(ominous music)
- I was expecting your call.
- Yeah, well, we just found
out about this tonight.
Seems like there's a lot going
on that we don't know about.
And I'm still trying to
figure out how an FRA agent
like yourself is
involved in all of this.
I'll tell you what. I don't
know who to trust anymore.
- I wonder the same
thing from time to time,
but here I am dealing
with the devil.
I'm assuming he needs
some info on Jim?
- Well, yeah,
that's a good start.
- Seems as if your boy is
trying to skip town as we speak.
He's gonna be at Third
Shift bar tomorrow night
to meet some guy named Mario.
they're gonna be a exchanging
funds, and then he's ghost.
- Not if we have
anything to do about it.
- Great. I'll be
there looking pretty.
You're not the only one who
has his neck on the line.
- Well, listen, I got a
few items to take care of.
I'll make sure that my
boys know where to be
and when to be there.
(upbeat rock music)
- Hit me with the good stuff.
Just leave the bottle.
I got the money.
Now I need you to come
through for me. You owe me.
- I owe you nothing.
Brother, you're the one
who left the gates open
and let the of wolves in.
You always see the bait,
but you never see the hook.
Your judgment's all
clouded with that shit
you keep shoving up your nose.
- You finished?
- Yeah, I'm finished.
And believe me, after
this, we're done.
I'm done dealing with your shit.
Dealing with you is eventually
gonna get my fucking ass killed.
- As I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death-
- God. Will you
shut the fuck up?
This is some serious shit.
What you did, most people
don't come back from.
You got a death wish
crossing Volkov.
Look, I can get you papers
and safe transport to Mexico.
But with the risk, it's
gonna cost you extra.
20,000, my man,
and you disappear.
- 10K now, 10K when
I get to Mexico.
Consider yourself
a ghost, my friend.
In a week, you'll be
sipping margaritas
and laying with those
sweet senoritas.
(laughs) That is if you
fucking stay alive long enough.
- Staying alive isn't an issue.
I made sure of that.
I've got my insurance.
Have the boat and
your men ready.
I'll be at the docks first
thing in the morning,
- Brother, I'll catch you
on the other side. I'm out.
- Where the fuck
is this guy going?
(urinal flushing)
- Fuck you, Volkov.
(door squeaking)
- Oh shit, man. I'm sorry.
I didn't even know
you were in here.
- Do you do got anything for us?
- What?
- You know. (sniffs)
- She'll do anything
to get high, man?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's me.
It's confirmed.
Yeah, tomorrow morning.
Get your men ready.
Oh, by the way,
I got some pictures of
what you were looking for.
Yeah, I'll text 'em to you.
I'm done here.
Moving on to his brother.
- [Man] Hey, Jim.
(punch thuds)
- [Man] Lift him up,
lift him up, lift him up.
- What are you doing?
We're not fucking done yet.
Yo, how much more
can this dude take?
You're a tough son
of a bitch, Jimmy,
but you're fucking stupid.
You know taking out the
judge's wife was a big mistake.
Bad move, bro.
- Where's the book?
- Fuck you.
- Where's the book?
We know you have it.
- Fuck you.
- We have all day, motherfucker,
and we'll beat it out
of you if we have to.
- Fuck you. That
hit was my way out.
Book of codes was my insurance.
- No women,
motherfucker. No women!
That was his rule,
and you broke it.
- Fuck her! Fuck you!
- Yo, fuck it, let's preheat
this asshole. Get the gas.
- [Man] Time to
die, motherfucker.
- Enough!
Stand down.
I'm tired of wasting
time, and right now,
Shepherd, time is
not on your side.
I have no tolerance for
anyone that's bullshitting me
and trying to insult
my intelligence,
so we'll make this
very quick and simple.
Where is our motherfucking
book of codes?
- Look, man, that rich
broad was my way out.
I had nothing else.
She was my insurance.
It was easy. Plug her
once right in the head.
- You stupid motherfucker. Them
codes mean everything to us.
And your brother, agent.
A family man.
Wife, daughter.
- [Jim] What? How do you know?
- But what I can't figure out,
why in the fuck you
wanna risk their lives
for being so fucking stupid.
- My family? Fuck you.
They have nothing
to do with this.
The codes, I destroyed all
of them. They mean nothing.
- Fuck me?
Fuck me?
(engine revving)
(brooding music)
(guns cocking)
- Your path begins in hell.
I have come to guide
you away from your sins,
to show you the true
meaning of paradise.
- Salvation.
- Hope not ever to see heaven,
for I will lead you
to the other shore,
through eternal darkness,
through hellfire,
and through ice.
I am the ultimate truth,
the most powerful,
that none can escape.
They know me as death.
- Life is not the end,
and death
is just the beginning.
- I am your fucking reaper.
(suspenseful music)
(engine revving)
(cell phone ringing)
(car honking)
- Rae speaking.
- Rae, it's Jack. Do
you have a moment?
- Absolutely, sir.
I just left the office.
Is everything okay?
- Yes and no.
Are you familiar with
our undercover agent
Mathew Shepherd?
- I don't know him personally,
but I've heard great things
about him from colleagues,
and some amazing stories about
him during training sessions.
Why?
- Unfortunately we just got
word that Shepherd's brother Jim
was executed by Volkov
a couple of days ago.
But before he was captured, he
gave Shepherd a set of codes.
He told Shepherd that
those codes are the key
to taking down Volkov's
entire enterprise.
- Do we have those codes in
our possession right now?
- Yes, but hold on.
Agent Shepherd's
communication went dry
shortly after his
brother's death.
We assume that he
went after Volkov
to try and save his brother.
A few moments ago,
we got a signal
from Shepherd
through our satcom.
Rae, we think Volkov
has Agent Shepherd.
- Oh shit.
Okay, I'll let Nathan
and Marcus know
to get the team
ready to roll out.
- Rae, I need you on
virtual command on this one.
Nathan and Marcus
will be standing by,
should something go wrong.
We need you controlling
this one from the sky.
You should be getting a ping
any moment now with your orders.
See you in a few hours, Daisy.
- Yes, sir.
(heart beating)
(suspenseful music)
- [Andre] I want
you to find Mathew.
Take him to the barn.
I want you to show
him what happens
to people that
interfere with us.
I want you to show him
his brother's head.
- [Agent] Come on, get
this asshole. Let's go.
- [Agent] Get this
son of a bitch out.
Come on guys, Volkov's coming.
Come on, let's get
him. Drive him out now.
Let's get him out out.
Let's get him out!
Come on. Let's go.
(machine gun firing)
(men yelling)
(machine gun firing)
- [Agent] Leader command,
we've intercepted Shepherd.
All Volkov's men are
KIA, except Volkov.
He's nowhere to be found.
- [Daisy] Hang in there, Mathew.
Everything's gonna be okay.
(soft music)
- Breakfast is almost ready.
You know, you're gonna
have to put that away soon.
- I know, Mom. My battery's
almost dead anyways.
- Thank God.
Okay.
All right. Here we go.
- Well, good morning, beautiful.
- I wish you wouldn't do that.
- What?
- Creep up on me like
that. You almost burnt me.
- Can't a man hug his
wife in the morning?
- Ugh, you guys, get
a room. So gross.
- Well, good morning
to you too, princess.
- Well, I'm trying to eat.
Put that grossness away.
- I'm sorry. I just, I didn't
wanna wake you up last night.
- I understand. Don't worry.
I just got this book
from my brother.
It's just filled with
numbers and codes,
and I'm trying to decipher it.
They look like dates, but then
there's this page missing.
I just, I don't know.
- Hmm.
(tires rumbling)
Ugh.
- Look, I'll be right back.
- Babe.
- Look,
I'll just be a moment.
- We talked about this.
- [Mathew] This just a
moment. I'll be right back.
I'm sorry.
- What are you two doing here?
- I apologize, sir, new
information has come in
regarding your brother
and Agent Morse.
We're gonna have to
have you come with us.
- All right. This is
gonna be difficult.
Give me 15 minutes to change.
I'll meet you in the car.
- Okay.
Look, I have to go into work.
- What do you mean you
have to go into work?
After what happened? After
what you've been through?
You told me that you were
done, that you were out.
You couldn't take any more
of this, and neither can I.
- Something has come up.
I promise, I'm just going
in to give them a statement.
- Something always comes up.
Rachel, go to your room.
- Go to my room,
seriously? What am I, five?
- I need to talk to
your father, alone.
- You guys are so weird.
- What the hell is going on?
- Listen to me.
This is important.
- Your brother is dead.
You were almost killed.
What could be more
important than your family?
- I don't wanna-
- Or better yet, your life?
- Look, I don't
wanna argue with you.
- Then don't.
Tell them they need to
handle this on their own.
This is not your fight anymore.
- I owe this to Jimmy.
- Jimmy is dead.
- Honey.
I have no choice.
I promise, I'm just
going in to give them
information from the
book, then I'm out.
- I just...
Damn them!
Just promise me
that you'll come back
home to your family alive.
- I promise. I'll be back.
I love you both so much.
- And this means, with the
upgrade on the software,
it will improve the response
time for headquarters data
at simulation and
transfer by about 20%.
In the field, it's
even more impressive,
as the encryption time
is about 30% faster
than on our current equipment.
(telephone ringing)
- Hello?
- Shall I send Shepherd up?
- Yes.
- Confirmed.
- He's here, sir.
- Thank you, Brian.
I think we'll all agree
that we're making
excellent progress.
When can we use
this in the field?
- Oh, I would estimate that
within the next 48 hours, sir.
- Very good. Any
further questions?
- Are there any handsets
that aren't compatible
with the upgrade?
- As of now, that
won't be a problem.
All the tests confirm
that the equipment
is compatible and up to date.
- Anyone else?
No?
All right, everyone.
Shepherd's here.
Our number one
priority is the capture
and prosecution of Andre Volkov.
Our second priority is
to decipher the codes
given to us by Agent Shepherd.
- How much does
Shepherd know, sir?
- After what he's been through,
he's our best shot at
bringing down Andre Volkov.
- I think, with these
codes and his input,
we're moving in the
right direction.
Sir, I'll update him on
any previous conversations
with Agent Morse.
- Agreed.
My team of engineers
are standing by,
and as soon as we get an
update, we'll file a report.
The system is 98%
complete as we speak.
- I can provide any
additional technical support
from my department as well.
- Ah, Mathew. This is
Agent Shepherd, everyone.
Mathew, thanks you for
coming. How are you?
My condolences
about your brother.
- Thank you.
I'm intrigued by all this cloak
and dagger stuff, Springer.
- (chuckles) I haven't been
called that in a long time.
In case any of you didn't know,
Springer was my nickname when
I was an agent in the field.
Mathew and I have worked
a few cases together.
There'll be time for war
stories and introductions later.
All right.
The object of this briefing is
to bring Mathew up to speed.
- Thank you, sir.
Let me begin with a summary
based on the information
we already have on our
primary target, Andre Volkov.
- Sorry to interrupt.
If I can help save us all some,
lemme just tell you
what I already know.
My brother Jimmy was no
saint. We all know that.
After his time spent in the
Marines, he was a changed man.
His PTSD and his
addictions was something
that no one in our
family could understand.
He managed to maintain
a few qualities
he picked up in the service,
a skill that every
agent must acquire.
For my brother, it came
quite naturally to him.
To put it crudely, if you were
to be part of an organization
that routinely kills people,
yeah, Jimmy would do that.
I feel like he fell in too deep,
and he was looking for
any way to get out.
That's where this book
of codes comes into play.
- Okay, Mathew. Any idea why?
- As I said, Jimmy
was a chancer.
If he's getting what he needs
out of a situation, fine.
I imagine, being part of
a criminal organization,
the temptation to outdo that
organization would be too much.
He probably ripped
them off in some way.
That's why he needed
to get out quick.
That's why he sent me what
he did, the book of codes,
as an insurance policy.
- What do you think?
- That's where these
codes come into play.
I feel like you have
a team capable enough
to figure this out.
I've done my part. Now I
wanna see Volkov taken down.
My life. My brother.
- Mathew, we understand.
- Your operation is
at a crisis point.
You're hoping I'm gonna
bring some new angle
you all haven't explored.
You think I'm gonna
do whatever it takes
to bring down Volkov,
and you're right.
- Well, you certainly
have our attention.
- I reviewed the initial
summary in the car.
It's not so much about
what's in the summary
as to what's not.
Look, we all know
why we're here.
This is a guy who escapes
prison, kills six guards,
disappears, comes back
as a criminal mastermind.
This is a blind man? This
doesn't make any sense.
You guys are trying
to capture a shadow.
The only way to do that
is to turn the shadow
into flesh and blood.
(gunshots popping)
- HQ's on the phone.
(bell ringing)
- Hold your fire!
The line is cold!
- Come on.
Yes, sir?
- [Jack] Is your team ready?
- Yes, we are ready.
- [Jack] How much longer until
your training's complete?
- Yes, we are just
finishing up here, sir.
- [Jack] Do you have
the new handsets?
- Yes, sir.
- [Jack] You'll need to
update them immediately.
- Yes, sir. Yes.
- [Jack] Are you
confident your team
is ready for the operation?
- Yes, we are ready to
move in on the target, sir.
- [Jack] Excellent.
- Is Agent Shepherd
with you, sir.
- I have Shepherd
right here with me.
- Agent Shepherd, it is an
honor to speak with you.
- [Mathew] Likewise.
- On behalf of the team,
I just wanna say how much
we value your contribution,
and we wanna reassure you we
have all of our angles covered.
We're on a tight watch,
but we'll move in as soon
as everything is present.
I guess you know the score?
- We're uploading the
data and the codes
right now onto the computer,
and I'm confident
this information
is gonna lead us in
the right direction.
- All right. See you
on the other side.
- Thanks, Agent Rae.
You ready?
- Let's get to work.
- Marcus, can you let the
team know we're ready?
- Oh yeah. Finally.
- Rae.
- Nathan.
- The time has finally come.
Speaking of finally,
maybe we can finally
finish where we started
after this is all said and done.
- Seriously, Nathan? You're
bringing this up right now?
- Yeah.
- No, it's over, Nathan.
It's been over for years,
but you keep at this.
I don't have a choice.
- I know this means the world
to you to get Volkov. I know.
But what are you going
to do when it's over?
Look, we've been so close.
- We've been close, and look
where that got us, Nathan.
We've been close so many times.
I need you, I need your head
in this now. Do you understand?
I need you. I need you to focus.
We can talk about this
later, but I need you.
I need your head in the
game now. Do you understand?
- Yeah.
- Now.
(upbeat music)
- Fuck!
(gunshots popping)
(bell ringing)
(computer beeping)
- [Computer] (indistinct).
Initiating startup sequence.
Credentials verified.
FRA login 223475.
Agent Rae, Agent Shepherd,
it is my pleasure
to be assisting you.
Your GPS coordinates confirm
you are one click
away from the target.
FRA systems have provided
you the green light.
You may move in when ready.
Proceed with caution.
- All right, here's
the plan, guys.
You four are gonna breach.
Rae, you and I, we're gonna
search outside. Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
(radio chattering)
- [Agent] The attic's clear.
- Clear.
(radio chattering)
- Clear.
- Shepherd's here.
Room's clear.
- Rae, the house is clear.
Nothing but old furniture
and cobwebs here.
What's your location?
(radio chattering)
Look, you two sit tight.
Keep looking around and
see if you find anything
that identifies
where Volkov went.
Radio in when you
have something.
- Yes, sir.
(soft music)
(sighs) I feel like
we're chasing a ghost.
- Tell me about it.
How Rae shoots.
Hey, bro, what's going
on with you and Rae?
You used to have a thing,
and now she's always on edge
every time you're near her.
- Man, don't get me started.
I tried talking to her
at the firing range,
and all she gave me was
this "do your job" bullshit.
I don't know.
Volkov has really
fucked things up.
- Man, hell yeah.
Don't take this the wrong way.
She's obsessed, man.
I can't have a decent
conversation with her
without thinking
something's on her mind.
Is that the reason
you two split?
- Yeah, something like that.
(brooding music)
- I sense your anger.
I can smell your fear.
This can go one of two ways.
Either you're here
with me on the take,
like your father,
or you're here to put me
down, as I did your father.
You're a good cop Agent Rae.
Either way,
you're dirty.
- Who are you to
talk about fathers?
You have no authority
to talk about my father.
You didn't know him, and you
had no right to take his life.
- We live by codes.
You live by a code.
It's what brought you here.
0125. The final
entry in my journal.
The journal which you have
in your possession now.
My book of souls. You call it
the book of codes, I believe.
January 25th. Today's date.
The day that I laid
my father to rest.
The day that I returned
home and mourn him.
- Oh, so you know what
it's like to lose a father.
- They never found
your father's body.
He's here.
- What are you talking
about, "He's here"?
- You're standing at his grave.
They are all here.
- Put your hands up, now.
- Volkov, show us your hands.
- Put your-
Agent Shepherd,
stay out of this.
Put your hands up right now.
- Rae, don't do this.
We can take him alive.
- Put your hands up now!
Put your hands up right now!
You really want me
to pull the trigger?
Put your hands up right now.
- Come on, my love.
- Hands up right now.
- Finish it. Think!
- I don't have time for this!
- Think, Daisy.
- [Daisy] I'm think right now!
Put your hands up right now!
Hands up right now!
- I grow tired of waiting.
- Just breathe.
- Agent Rae-
- Wanna talk about waiting?
- She does it to
me all the time,
except she doesn't
just ignore me.
I get bitched at
at the same time.
- Hey, check that, man.
- Time's up!
- No! Put your hands up now!
- Tick-tock goes the clock.
- [Daisy] No!
- Oh fuck!
(explosion booming)
- I feel the light, father.
It's so cleansing.
It's pure.
The light dies with me.
(gunshot pops)
- Rae, what did you do?
- I, I didn't fire.
- Your salvation is at hand.
(Andre gurgles)
- Andre.
Andre.
Andre, can you hear me? Andre.
Andre.
Andre, you kept calling
me Agent Rae. Why is that?
You do know I'm
Dr. Perkins, right?
Andre, we've been working
at this for 45 years now.
I thought we were making
tremendous progress.
But it seems that
every single time
we get to the very
end of your story,
you seem to shut
down, catatonic.
I've been meaning to
tell you something.
I'm retiring next week.
So I'm sorry to say, this
is our very last meeting.
Now, don't worry,
I want you to know,
I transferred all of my files
over to my colleague, Dr. Eaton,
and I made sure I found
somebody that is just like me
to take great care of you.
You're in good
hands, I promise you.
Andre, I want you to know
that nothing in this
wicked world is permanent.
Please remember that.
Not even our troubles, okay?
It was a pleasure
working with you, Andre.
Hi, Dr. Nash.
Yes, this is Dr. Perkins.
I'm at interview room four.
If you could do me a favor
and send somebody over
to take Andre back to his cell.
I think he's had another
psychotic episode.
Oh, perfect, I hear them
coming. Thank you so much.
(door slams)
Hello. Thank you so much.
Andre, I just have
one more thing to say.
Andre, always remember,
your salvation is at hand.
I went on to win the American
Psychological Association
Humanitarian Award for my
studies of Andre Volkov.
He created another world
just to escape this one,
and he believed every bit of it.
It goes to show you
that the mind of man
is capable of anything.
After all, who really
knows what reality is?
From joy, fear,
sorrow, devotion,
and rage, Andre
experienced it all.
But in the end, Andre met
the one thing in this world
he couldn't beat, death.
Andre Volkov never saw
the following morning,
as he passed in his
sleep inside his cell,
fading away from this world
(lock rattling)
into the next.
(brooding rock music)
Call it war
Or maybe first defense
I won't buy everything
You sell me
So choose your
fiction carefully
Amnesia is easier
Than living in a
land of ignorance
But your making fair share
So cut out
Take my temperature
Dictate my feelings
We're here
For our recognition
(upbeat hip-hop music)
Yeah
Gotta aim for the top, like
Hello, yo
I can never doubt
myself, I know better
All of you critics be
acting like you know better
Blowing the smoke, but I
know when the dust settles
So I'm in my element
It's everything that
this level city game
All of those dark
nights, I got them
Breaking my back
to make it out
Got me feeling like pain
I ain't never need your help
I know you're
wishing me well
A penny for your thoughts,
but seeing no change
A snap for the
sun like Diddy
The rich-ass got mad-ass
son, I'm like Billy
I ain't never switched
your whole team with me
But known for my
city, like O-H, easy
Set the pace, as
long as you finish
Consumers find a way
inside your business
Babbling, they try
to dabble in it
And they hate the fact that
they may have to witness death
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
Keep that same energy
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
In my element,
flow is like water
I'm forced through the
fire, I'm feeling like gold
Gotta stay grinding,
stay down to earth
Following God, and
you grinding, you
do as you're told
I don't work to
make you like me
But I'm front and
center, word to Spike Lee
And God came in
the nick of time
They think I'm
crazy, but I might be
Just running up,
running up, running up
We're beating their
asses to sum it up
You know it's a wrap
now for waistlines
And I'm cutting the
weight like a tummy tuck
That mean I'm about to
give it up right now
You see what's coming down
the line, I never pipe down
I give 100% of me, trying
to stand on my enemies
In my element, it's
crazy, it's the mic sound
I'm in the zone
Give me the chrome
One shot, that's
all that you've got
That's all that I know
Foot on the gas
155 on the road
You could be a friend
of me, an enemy
Keep that same old
energy, 'cause I know
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
I'm in my element, ooh, yeah
Keep that same energy
I'm in my element
Never switch, yo,
never switch, yo
Never switch, yo
Keep that same energy
Never switch, yo
I'm in my element
