Standoff s01e08 Episode Script

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx It's ecclesiastes,chapter nine.
The righteous and the wise and what they do are in god's hands.
-No,no.
-Yeah,listen.
All share a common destiny,the righteous and the wicked,the good and the bad.
Anyone who is among the living has hope.
I'm telling you,this is gonna work.
oh,my god,he's coming.
What are you doing? I just had to pee,and I justcan'T.
I'm hungry.
there is,umfood in the fridge I almost got caught again.
I gotta go.
No,listen.
Don't hang up.
Don't hang up,okay? Remember what I said? Don't get scared,get mad.
I can't read to him from the bible.
-Why? -I'm not gonna do that.
-Why not? -Because I don't believe in it.
It's not about what you believe right now.
It's about what eddie believes.
Okay? We know that eddie read the bible every day in prisoN.
We know that.
So he'll know that I'm lying to him.
No!You're not lying to him.
Okay?You anya you gotta believe it.
All right? You have to feel it.
You have to make a connection.
Youyou gotta,you gotta keep him focused.
All right? We just passed the 12-hour mark.
He's okay.
No,he's fried.
Focus on my voice.
-I can't do this.
-Yes,you can.
Yes,you can.
You have been doing it.
You're on.
Just give him a couplenow.
He pulled you out of your car,forced his way into your apartment.
Why do you think he untied you?When you walked in there,you were a thing to him.
You were a hostage.
He untied you because he thinks of you as a person.
Now,you gotta get him to think of you as a friend.
As soon as you can get him to think of you as a friend,he's gonna let you walk outta there.
Stop that! Stop it! Don't start that.
Alright? Stay mad!Get mad! -I hate you.
-Okay.
Good.
I hate you,matt.
There you go.
All right.
Why won't you come in here? Because he knows we're out here and he's ready for us, and you might get caught in the crossfire.
But he's not ready for you,anya.
Okay?He doesn't know you're talking to us.
anya? -Listen -okay.
Listen,you're gonna walk out there and you're gonna tell him it's fate.
You're gonna say that you've been together now for 14 hours,and he is not alone.
That you have been brought together for a reason.
It is,it is destiny that has brought you together.
Okay? I'll call you back.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
What are you going to say? Five minutes.
What are you gonna say?Anya?Anya? she hung up.
Right.
'Cause she's gonna she's gonna talk to him.
All right.
What? No,you said ten minutes,okay? That was 40 minutes ago.
Just,just give her five minutes,all right? -She's just about out of there.
-Yeah,you don't know that.
Five minutes.
Give her five minutes.
She's gonna call us back.
You don't know that.
No,five more minutes.
All right,we missed our window again,while the girl was in the can.
We might not get another chance.
Frank,we can hear you.
All right.
We breach with the shotgun.
The sound's gonna stun him long enough to cover entry and takedown.
Do you hear that,too? All right,you know,I'm with matt.
We're gonna wait five more minutes and she's gonna call back.
-And if she doesn't? -You breach.
No,wait a minute.
Just wait a minute.
I have.
I'll wait fiveore.
All right.
eddie.
What you say? What you call me? Five minutes are up.
-Just give her one more.
-On your go.
Come on.
60 seconds.
She's talking to him right now.
All right,matt,look at me.
It's okay.
Come on.
Stop now.
Frank.
Stand fast.
Control him.
breach! He shot himself! Matt? Anya.
hey,it's okay.
You're safe now.
Fate.
I told him that god had put us together for a reason, that it was some kind of test, but that I wasn't sure if god was testing me or testing him.
I guess I said something to him that got through,though, because he told me to get outand shut up.
It happened so quick,I didn't believe him.
I thought,the second I turn around,he's gonna shoot me,but he just put the gun to his chest,and he sat down on the couch,put a gun to his chest think we all know what happened after that.
Thank you,anya.
I know that wasn't easy.
Sorry.
Told it,like,a million times.
It's important for us to hear that.
Standard procedure warns us against direct communication with hostages.
But,um things don't always go the standard way.
Although we cannot ignore how rare it is to find someoneas brave as anya reed on the other end of the line.
Brave? Thought i was brave? Wellyeah,we all did.
If I was anything at all,it was because I had you talking in my ear.
Your voice kept me alive.
So,um,what's,uh,what's going on with you?You find a new place yet? Park cienega.
Moved on saturday.
Still unpacking.
How's victim services?They been keeping in touch? Yeah,they helped me move all my stuff and find the apartment.
Did they put you in touch with a trauma counselor,or? Sarah.
She's great,too.
Well,come on in here.
Uh,sit down.
-Thanks.
-Sure.
What's on your mind? You said that,uh,something was bothering you,and you wanted to talk after the class.
What's going on?What's wrong? Uh,it's,it'Snothing's wrong,I jusT all last week,I've had this feeling like someone's following me or behind me or watching me,I don't know.
-Do you see somebody? -No,it's just a feeling,but it keeps happening.
You know,that could be a symptom of post-traumatic stress.
What are you saying,that I'm paranoid? No,not paranoid.
Hypervigilant.
It's not just that.
After I did all these tv interviews, the stations got these letters.
They forwarded them to me, and I read some,and they were,like,they were really creepy.
You want to bring them in,we'll take a look? I was hoping you'd say that.
Make rosa legal!Make rosa legal! It's not a barricade if the doors are unlocked.
What do I call it?I call it a public protest.
I call it an immigration issue.
Well,what do you want me to do, have hrt storm the church,in front of all those cameras, so that we can bust a mommy who just wants to stay in the same country as her seven-year-old son? Yes.
That is why we have negotiators there.
Unless you want elían gonzales all over again.
What's going on? immigrant activist holes up with her son,wants sanctuary.
He's a legal citizen,she's not.
It started off as a protest,and then the hype set in and all rightwhat do you have? -Remember anya reed? -Uh,girl in the bathroom.
Yeah,she stopped by today,dropped these off.
It's fan mail.
Yeah,some of them with red flags-- delusional,love obsessional,erotomania.
She thinks she might have a stalker.
We think she might be right.
So you want topen a stalking case? We want to stop by the new apartment,make sure it's secure.
Maybe run psych-linguistics on a few of the letters.
-Check out a couple likelies.
-So you want to open a stalking case? A little one.
All right,has she been approached? Any actual threats? Dead dogs?Boiled bunnies? Come on.
You know how hard it is to prosecute these cases.
Okay,so what,we're just gonna say,listen,honey,we saved your life, got your face all over tv,now when the kooks come out of the woodwork-- deal.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for visiting the fbi.
You know,cheryl,I think our main concern here is from an image standpoint.
I mean,the bureau received a lot of press off this save, and I don't think it would look good if we let anya reed,you know,slip into danger when we all right,okay.
All right.
Go,run the letters.
Check the apartment, do whatever you want after you relieve temple and binder from this church.
no,they've been on a ten-hour shift.
I was kind of hoping to stop by anya's this afternoon.
Well,you're going to be late because you have an active crisis to solve.
matt.
Church thing ran a little long.
Still running.
I didn't see you.
I was watching the whole thing on tv.
I didn't see you there.
Oh,yeah,we were at a command post.
Come in.
So probably don'thave a whole lot of time to look at those letters,right? We have,actually.
But we're going to take a deeper look.
You know,those letters were pretty creepy,but none of them contained direct threats.
And even if they did,those are rarely acted upon.
Great,I feel a lot safer now.
If I were you,I'd probably be going stir-crazy.
Do you have any friends you could ask over,spend some time with? No,I don'T.
I moved here last year alone,and I haven't really met What about your folks?Maybe they could No,I don't really want to call them.
I don't want to call anybody.
I just want to feel safe in my own home.
Yeah,let me take a look around.
I'll,uh,check the alarm,the locks.
Thanks.
Maybe I am going a little stir-crazy.
Beer? Uh,no.
Thank you.
Come on.
After ten hours on that church thing,you don't want to wind down? Oh,I didn't say that.
That looks good.
But,uh,it's a bureau thing.
Well would it be,would it be breaking the rules if you and I ended up at the same bar and you bought a beer, and I bought a beer,and we happened to sit next to each other? Uh,you know bureau thing? Kind of.
Can't drink with a victim? It's not even the drink so much,it's what the drink might lead to.
I mean,traditionally.
Right.
Well,uh,everything looks pretty good.
I mean,I think you can feel really safe here.
I programmed 911 into your speed dial,not that anything's gonna happen, but if it should,your first call should be to them,okay? Not us.
Okay? Wait.
Is that it? Yeah,that's for tonight.
So just make sure you lock the doors behind us, and we will,um,give you a call tomorrow.
Good night.
Bye.
bureau thing? What? I think anya was more scared when we left than when we got there.
Yeah,well,I mean,there's not a lot we can do about that.
And it makes sense.
I mean,after what vargas put her through.
He got off easy.
You know,there were two people on the phone that night.
I don't know,I just think it might not hurt to talk to somebody.
I'm not interested in talking to an fbi shrink.
Okay.
Talk to me.
You're an fbi shrink.
And how does that make you feel? -is it cheryl? -No.
-Hello,this is matt.
-Matt I need you to help me.
Anya,where are you? I told you,I told you something was happening.
Okay,calm down,and tell me what's going on.
I told you! Did you get some rest? Well,we're still doing our homework.
But we've officially opened a case.
While you were in the apartment,did eddie ever mention his brother to you? No.
Why? He's a convicted felon.
He's part of the same gang eddie ran with.
One of our informants talked to him and said that he's still pretty upset.
He feels like you pushed his brother to suicide.
-You think he's the guy? -We're going to bring him in and find out.
In the meantime,we need to ask you a couple more questions.
About what? You just said this is the guy,eddie's brother.
It's one suspect.
We're going to bring in a few more based on the letters you gave us.
I'm going to need to ask you a few personal questions.
Matt,what is this? Stalking victims usually know their stalker.
I already told you I don't really know anyone in L.
A.
Well,the associated press picked up your story.
Could be someone from back home in,uh -minburn.
-Minburn saw you on tv.
When did you leave there? Why does this feel like a background check? -It's really not meant to.
-Because it's no one from minburn.
Everyone there was happy to see me go.
And why is that? I know these are hard questions,anya,but I have to ask.
It's not hard,it's behind me.
I dated a guy who turned out to be married,and I didn't call it off after I found out.
Happens all the time out here,but not in iowa.
People talk in a small town.
Before I knew it,he was the nice husband who made one mistake,and I was the whore.
Okay.
That's why you left.
That's why I didn't call my parents after what happened with eddie.
Probably say it was my fault.
That you were carjacked and held hostage? You know,you're right.
I don't really want to talk about it.
I feelI think I've relived it enough for you.
-Okay,it's all right.
-I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to look,give us a minute here.
Is this an interview or an interrogation? Well,it's an investigation,just like any other.
Do you think she did this to herself?Do you think she lipsticked her own car? I don't know,matt.
It's possible.
Is this because she's got a crush on me,or is this 'cause she asked me out? She calls in after two weeks And says that she wants to talk to my class about what happened with eddie.
Which is probably just an excuse to see you.
-I mean,she -come on.
-She flinches every time our questions too close.
-Come oN.
-I think she's hiding something.
-I think she's being stalked.
Yeah,and I'm not saying that you're wrong.
I'm just doing my job.
Stalking's not about pursuit,it's about a connection.
A bond they feel they have with their victims.
Thank you.
So bye.
This bond can take many forms, so we look for words or phrases that speak to it.
Okay,what do you see? I'd build you a fortress.
Okay,that's good.
Stalker as protector.
He sees himself as a guardian.
That's an interesting choice of words.
It's kind of what I do for a living.
-It professional.
-I run computer networks.
Keep hackers out,viruses away.
Guess I'm just used to seeing the world in those terms.
Even when it comes to a girl you've never met? I saw her on the tv.
She,uh,she seemed pretty messed up by that guy.
She could've used someone looking out for her.
Fbi's got that covered.
Then how come you're talking to me? There's a strong current of narcissism in this one,too.
Narcissists can't handle rejection.
They have to diminish or even destroy the source of their rejection in order to get back on top.
Anya not writing back-- total dis.
Yeah,flag this one,too.
Okay,what do we have next? Is this like mulder and scully behind that glass or something? Why did you write the letter,neil? I thought she was cute,man.
I-I don't getI mean, am I on some kind of a watch list now or something? I was just looking for a hookup, and the only good internet match sites are the ones that charge you a monthly fee and, past that,you're left with the bars and the clubs, and I don't know if it's me or what,but it's,like,dry as a desert out there.
Know what I'm saying? My professional opinion? Can't get a date.
Pretty much.
Okay,thank you,guys,for your eyes and your brains.
That's it? Well,there's one more,but I don't think this guy is writing her any fan mail.
Yeah,I think she's a bitch.
So what? Doesn't mean I wrote it on her windshield.
You know,your brother pulled the trigger himself,tio.
Why are you pissed at her? 'Cause,just like every skank I know,she probably pushed him into it.
He just wanted out.
He had her in there a long time,knocked her around.
Is that right? Well,maybe that witch had it coming.
That's real nice,tio.
You know,I see the family resemblance,except for the hole in the chest.
You got something to say about my brother? No.
I got something to say to you.
Sit down.
you going to get that or what? -what's going on? -I don't know.
You still think she's doing this to herself? Hey,I'm busting my ass on this case for her.
That doesn't answerhe question.
I never said that she was doing it herself.
And,for the record, the lipstick on the windshield-- pretty baby's meridian red? It's the same one that anya wears.
What's up? Hrt is scrambling to a hijacked bus on sixth street near pershing square.
Full briefing on the bab.
Can somebody else take this,take it?We're real close on this stalking thing.
-Hostages? -Twenty.
-I'll go.
-Let's go.
pensions and benefits,all right? We're tapped into the security cameras.
Trying to hold a signal.
That's all it's going to take-- some pensions and some bennies.
Or maybe I'll just start up my engines and we can have ourselves a little bus race.
Henry,please do not do that.
you have way more experience behind the wheel than our guys,and you will leave us in the dust.
You got that right.
How many years has he been working? He lost his pension when they tossed him for traffic violations.
okay,look,henry,I know that you're upset after losing your pension after 23 great years, and I know that you're also upset because because no one's listening to you,and that's frustrating.
You got that right.
Get on it now! Okay.
He's got to know these hostages.
They've been on tour all week.
Start reminding him of that.
anya,I can't talk right now.
Wait.
Don't hang up.
-What? -They kicked me out.
Matt,where's the passenger manifest? it's by the map.
My pass expired,and they won't let me wait in the lobby.
I don'Tmatt,I don't know where to go.
Did you arrest someone? Listen,just go to a public place and wait there.
I'm in a public place.
All right,go around the corner.
There's a bar there.
It's called sloan's.
It's a cop bar.
It's where we all hang out.
Wait there.
You'll be safe.
And I'll come get you as soon as I'm done here.
Matt?Matt! That drink's got to be stale by now.
How do you know?How long have you been watching me? I wasn't watching.
Okay,maybe I was.
Just trying to get up the nerve,I guess.
-You're really something.
-You should go.
Go as in leave the bar,or go get us a nice table? I need you to leave me alone.
You heard the ladyshe said go.
So gO.
I'm just going to enjoy my beverage.
Just because she won't let me buy her one,doesn't mean that I can'T.
It's a free country.
You're not listening.
I said go.
I told you!I told you I'd protect you,anya!I told you! -What? -It's graham!You read my letters!You're safe now,anya! -Hate this guy already.
-I hate the name graham.
All right,so lea found an old restraining order against him.
The girl who filed it said he tried to pick her up at an abuse support group.
That's classy.
Who the hell cruises support groups to pick up chicks? Oh,savior syndrome.
They can't control themselves,so that have to control somebody else and go after vulnerable women and try to take over their lives.
All right,so he writes the thing on windshields to scare the hell out of her, and then he tails her so he can swoop in and save the day? I don't know,maybe.
Does that mean he doesn't want to kill her? Well,if he thinks that she's rejecting his help,he could get violent.
Anya.
Sorry,i didn't know you guys were still it's okay.
Um,how you doing? I don't know.
You tell me.
It's-it's-it's over.
Right?You got him? We think graham brewster's been stalking you.
Yeah,I think you need to file a restraining order right away.
A restraining order? What are you-- i thought he was in jail.
Uh,he was; they released him this morning.
They released him?How I don'The,he almost killed that guy last night.
How is he released? Come here for a second.
Come here.
Da had no choice.
There were seven witnesses last night, four of whom were off- duty law enforcement,that said the other guy started the fight.
-But he was following me.
-That's not-- that's not against the law.
So there's nothing we can do? No,you can sit tight and let me handle -for how long?A week?A day?Two years? -Listen to me.
-He is out there.
-I know.
He is real.
A piece of paper isn't going to protect me.
I'm gonna protect you.
I am personally going to see to it that graham brewster does not lay a finger on you,all right? You are safe.
Yeah,like I was safe after eddie vargas,like I was safe at that fbi bar.
Anya.
Listen.
Come here.
Come here,listen to me.
Anya.
Hold on,just wait one second.
Hey,anya,wait up.
You don't know what is has been like for me.
This whole thing has been like for me.
Hey,you can tell me.
Okay,I want to help you.
Then leave me alone.
Graham.
What are you doing here? Just wanted to see where you live.
It's nice.
Computer thing pays pretty good,huh? Look,I,uh,I got no problem with you.
Good.
You want to keep it that way? Real simple.
Stay away from anya reed.
Don't call her.
Don't even think about her.
She needs my protection,though.
Little close,ain't you? Now I'm a little close.
You leave her alone,and I'll leave you alone,you got it? She has protection.
Say it.
She has protection.
You have ten new messages.
Hi,anya,it's graham.
Hope you don't mind me calling your home number.
It's amazing what you can find on the internet.
anya,it's graham.
I didn't hear back, and I thought I'd try again.
anya,it's graham.
Is your answering machine working or what? well,I just got a visit from your friend at the fbi.
hey,i think we're gonna have a real problem on this stalking thing.
I just got off the phone with victims' services.
Anya reed lied.
Okay,she never went for counseling.
She insisted she was fine.
It's classic avoidance.
Don't matter; you're off the case.
What? Graham brewster filed a harassment suit and a restraining order of his own.
W-- against who? Ask your partner.
I suggested that the guy back off.
Matt,what are you thinking? What?I talked to the guy.
special agent flannery then proceeded to brandish his sidearm? He's full of crap.
I didn't brandish anything.
Uh,okay.
Then why the lawsuit? Emily,the guy's a flake.
It's gonna get tossed.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Matt,I know that's not true.
Yeah,how do you know that? You weren't there.
Yeah,exactly,because you didn't take me.
Matt.
All right,this is not a discussion I want to have over the phone.
Okay,fine.
Then,when are you coming back? In a while.
Uh,could you be more specific? In a little while.
Okay,where are you?What are you doing right now? Keeping a promise.
Matt,you are so far over the line on this one.
Which line is that? All right,tell me where you are and I'll come there.
I got to go.
Matt Anya,what are you doing here? -Hello.
-It's anya.
-Anya? -I need to see you.
anya,wait! hey,can you open this gate? FbI.
Open the damn gate.
What is it? open the door.
I'm calling the cops! Anya,don't worry,he can't hurt you now.
'Cause you're going to protect me,right? Anya,what thewhat are you doing?! Anya! I'm okay! Don't come in.
Get out.
Get back inside.
hey,it's me.
I'm over at brewster's apartment.
I need you to get here.
Bring everybody with you.
pressure.
That's what you're supposed to do: Apply pressure.
-please don't hurt me.
-Shut up.
I don't know why you're doing this to me.
Do notlie to me,graham.
I'm serious.
-Wait.
No,stop.
-No!No! You're going to tell me the truth.
You're going to admit to it.
You snuck into my garage,and you wrote,"it's not over,bitch" on my car.
No.
Yes,you did! matt,please stop.
I need to do this.
anya,li -Apartment three.
-What are we looking at? It's a domestic,one-on-one,one shot fired.
Got a hostage injury,I don't know how severe.
Ht's armed,a handgun,low caliber,sounds like a .
38 How'd you get here so fast? I was here already; it's anya reed.
Anya reed? Didn't we just save her two weeks ago? She's the ht.
-I won't ask.
-Thanks.
Brewster still alive? What does she want? I don't know; she keeps hanging up on me.
Then I guess you'd better keep calling back.
you said you wanted to talk? Here I aM.
Let's go,let's talk.
Please don't do anything.
What?You'll confess? 'Cause that's all I want to hear out of you.
I'm sorry,okay? For what? For what?! I never meant to hurt you.
Right.
You just wanted to scare me so I'd need you? So I'd come running to you for protection? Matt.
-No,don'T.
-I've got him.
He's going to admit to it; he's going to confess to you on the phone right now.
Anya?Slow down and talk to me.
I am talking to you! No,you're talking at me.
Talking to me means that when you talk I listen and vice versa.
I don't need to listen to you.
I already know what you're going to say.
Hang in there; everything's gonna be okaY.
-We're going to get through this.
-You shot a guy!All right?! You shot an unarmed man.
I'm not going to tell you it's going to be okay.
I think I know you better than that.
Then why are you,why are you talking to me like I'm the bad guy? I'm just doing what you told me to do-- I'm getting mad,I'm going with what I feel-- -Anya? -How's it feel? How's it feel,graham? How's it feel to have someone just force themselves into your life? It's not so fun being the one without the power,is it? -Anya? -I can do whatever I want to you.
Oh,god.
-Anya? -You said you want to protect me? You should protect yourself.
Help!Help me! She hung up.
-What? -What?You didn't hear that? -No.
-She's going to kill graham.
This isn't about graham.
This is about eddie vargas.
Oh,I knew she was hiding something.
I think she was raped.
What? Don't look at me.
Turn around,turn around.
Where do you keep masking tape,duct tape? the drawer in the kitchen.
No,no way.
No way.
We'd have known that.
Em,I was on the line with the girl for 12 hours.
-She would have told me.
-No,matt,she wouldn'T.
She has a thing for you.
You're the last person she would tell.
Explains why she didn't,uh,accept medical attention at the scene.
and why she skipped out on the counselors.
Okay,we got to get her to confront the truth.
So that she can direct her anger off of graham and onto vargas.
Yeah,do it.
I think you should probably make the call.
don't pass out.
Sorry about that.
He was trying to get away.
Anya,it's emily.
So the gang's all here,right? You got reporters out there,too.
No,no.
No reporters.
It's just you and me.
Look,I know you don't think that I can help you or that I even care about you for that matter.
And I know that matt and I have let you down and that we haven't kept you safe.
That's whythat's why I got a gun.
Yeah,and you want to use it,but you don't want to use it on graham.
Really?Is that why he's tied up with a gun to his head? But this isn't about graham,anya.
What's it about,emily? It's about what eddie did to you in your apartment.
Eddie's dead.
Look,I know what he did to you.
Eddie beat me up.
Yeah,yeah,and you wouldn't talk to a doctor or talk to a counselor.
'Cause I wanted to get out of there.
Because you knew they'd ask if you were raped.
He didn't rape me.
Okay.
No,it's not okay.
He it's not,it's not rape.
Okay,then what was it? It's not rape if you ask for it.
no,you didn't ask for it.
I did.
I did.
I did.
I begged him.
I begged him to do it so he wouldn't kill me.
No,no,anya,anya,you did not ask to be dragged out of your car and attacked.
You did not ask to be taken hostage and have your face busted open or to be violated or humiliated.
Okay?You wanted to live; you did not ask to be raped.
I did.
No,he had a gun.
He was in your house.
Okay,you fought for your life.
No,I deserved it.
No,no.
Nobody deserves that.
Do you hear me? You did what you had to do to survive.
You made a choice,and you can make a choice now.
Okay,you can be a victim or a survivor.
It's up to you,anya.
You have all the power now.
What's it going to be? How does someone become a hostage taker? Make rosa legal!Make rosa legal!Make rosa legal! Hostage taking is a last-ditch effort a desperate attempt to regain control over one's life.
how did that life get out of control in the first place? And is there any way to predict who's going to snap? More often than not,the person has suffered a broken relationship.
the only way out of it is to make a connection.
