The Lottery (2014) s01e08 Episode Script
Truth Be Told
Previously on "The Lottery" Last time we spoke, you told me that you could help me get my son back.
We've got moles inside of the "D" of "H," very close to your son.
You give me a picture of my son wearing this mask, I'll do whatever it is you want I'm guessing the other day the extra perks comes with strings, right? What do you want? You don't really want to be a mother, do you? Excuse me? We're not saying that your father caused the fertility crisis, but we do believe he knew it was coming.
What do you want from me? Did he leave anything behind, maybe papers or a like a zip drive or anything? Anything.
It's been eight years.
There must be something.
Dr.
Kessler.
Don't make me shoot you for no reason.
Wait.
I need to get to Dr.
Kessler's.
That's the problem.
Kessler just turned up dead.
I don't know what the hell you've been doing.
You have upset some very powerful people.
I'm gonna meet our friend later today.
What if he doesn't come through? What if we don't get the information we need? What's plan "b"? Plan "b"? There is no plan "b.
" We're trying to kill the damn king.
Agent Kent said you could help me out.
All I need is a photo and a start point.
The person I want you to follow is Darius Hayes.
For the recordI'm sorry it has to go down this way.
I mean, Tom's a good man.
And I was hoping he'd see the light.
Were you sleeping? Yeah.
It all comes down to honesty.
Truth the foundation of any good relationship, especially the relationship between a mother and a child.
We can measure truthfulness over time using human observation, or we can measure it with technology.
In the final challenge, each prospective mother will be connected to a polygraph machine and asked a series of probing questions.
We've heard what these women want us to hear.
Now we hear the truth.
Okay.
Cut it.
That's a wrap.
Vanessa, you you remember Rose.
Nice job, everybody.
Thanks.
Yes, we met at the opening-night gala.
It's nice to see you again.
- You, too.
- What do you think? Well, nothing says motherhood like an interrogation.
Hello, everyone.
Good morning.
Rose.
I saw you last night.
You remember? No, I don't really I was really tired.
Yeah.
You mind if I borrow your father for a minute? No.
Great.
You all right? I don't know.
I D.
C.
is such a weird place.
Like, I feel like everyone's just always having these whispered conversations.
You're whispering.
But, um Is there something on your mind? If there's ever anything you want to talk about, anything at all You can trust me.
What are you ladies up to? Just a little girl talk.
That was exhausting.
In a good way.
Nice save.
It's just been a long time since I've had that kind of connection.
Yeah? Yeah.
Don't get it.
No, don't get it.
Hello? This is Dr.
Lennon.
What? I'll be right there.
What is it? Alison, what's wrong? He's been shot.
- Who? - James.
S01E08 Truth Be Told Uh, can I help you, miss? I'm Dr.
Lennon.
I'm here to see James Lynch.
- Your relationship to Dr.
Lynch? - Co-worker.
Friend.
Is he okay? Not sure.
Doctor's with him.
Well, what happened? Gunshot wound to the chest.
WhWhere was he? Who shot him? We're still investigating.
Do you know a Dr.
Mark Kessler Jr.
? Kessler Jr.
no.
Any idea what Dr.
Lynch was doing at Dr.
Kessler Jr.
's beach house? No, I-I have no idea.
Where where's James? I need to talk to a doctor.
I-I still have a few more questions.
And I have no more answers.
My friend may be dying.
And if you keep me here, he may go before I can say goodbye.
- We're ready.
- Okay.
I'll see what I can do.
Our friend would like to meet with you later today.
About what? I thought it was all arranged.
He didn't say.
Must be nice to have your daughter back.
Have you talked to her about last night? Excuse me? Darius, she was right next to us.
She was sleeping.
No.
She wasn't.
I saw her.
She was on medication.
I saw the pills.
That's what she does.
She has a problem.
I don't need to tell you what the stakes are here.
That's right, Alan.
You don't.
But if she did hear our conversation She didn't.
I'm positive.
Then I'll leave it to you.
There's been no further contact with Darius? This sniper what else can you tell me? He's traveling under an alias Eugene Jones.
Pays cash for everything.
He's even got someone back home using his credit card so it looks like never left.
He's booked on a flight to Charlotte at 11:25 p.
m.
night after next.
That's the night of the lottery announcement.
Is that what he's? It must be.
It must be.
Could he be targeting the president? I don't speculate.
I give you information.
What you do with it is up to you.
Anything else? I'll be in touch.
They know we're onto them, Vanessa.
They just shot James.
It should have been me.
I should have been the one playing detective at Kessler's.
Alison, this is not your fault.
So, now what? How do we nail the son of a bitch who did this? I understand the urge to seek revenge.
But right now, you need to lie low.
Do nothing.
It is too dangerous.
Screw that! This thing just got very personal.
We need to nail Darius.
No, we are not doing anything.
I want to bury Darius just as badly as you do, but you have to let me handle this.
Alison, they just went after James.
They could come after you next.
Please keep in mind, Miss Sommers this interview is being broadcast to the entire nation.
Please answer with a simple "yes" or "no.
" Do you understand? Sounds pretty straightforward.
"Yes" or "no.
" Yes.
You mentioned your mother was a drinker.
Do you have a history of excessive use of alcohol? I wouldn't call it excessive.
"Yes" or "no," please.
No.
Have you ever consumed alcohol while working? I was a bartender.
Yes.
Have you ever become violent while intoxicated? Yes.
Would you consider that appropriate behavior for a mother? - No.
- Do you believe it's important to have an affectionate relationship with your child? Yes.
Was your mother affectionate with you? That's subjective and complicated.
Do you feel you're equipped to give a child everything that they might need to thrive in today's world? No.
But who the hell is? Think you'll make a good mother? I think I will try to do whatever is best for my child.
If the answer is yes, please say yes.
The answer is, I have no idea, and whoever claims to is full of shit.
God bless you, James.
Kyle.
What's the problem? Didn't have any luck cloning her phone.
We tried, but it was encrypted.
- You sure about that? - Yep.
We talked about security measures at the lab.
She said the department of humanity is all over her phone and tablet.
So, I guess you're just gonna have to steal it.
I'm reborn in the eyes of the lord the sins of my past washed clean.
I've been born again in the eyes of the lord and the sins of my past washed clean.
Hallelujah! Get a move on, sister.
It's time for confession.
- What, right now? - Don't worry.
It's the truth challenge.
And you're basically the poster child for the purity.
Before I found Jesus, I was a different person.
Different how? Inside.
You're not a virgin, are you? Spiritually, I am.
So, that's a no.
Oh, God.
Perry, I can't do this.
Everyone thinks I'm perfect.
Hey, I have the exact opposite problem.
There's nothing to worry about.
They're gonna find out.
They probably won't even ask if you're a virgin or not.
What if they do ask in front of the whole world watching? - Slow down.
- What am I supposed to do? Here's what you do you relax.
- Oh, gosh.
Relax? - Yeah.
Come on.
Make your body relax.
The machine only looks at how you react.
It can't look inside your heart.
You think I can fool that machine? I don't think I can.
If you stay calm, you will be fine.
Yeah.
You wanted to see me? Yes, I did, George.
I was wondering what kind of chatter you've been hearing about the lottery finale.
Just the usual some protests, some threats, nothing credible, thank God.
Nothing at all? Nothing almost credible? No.
Not that I know of.
I spoke to the secret service two hours ago.
- Business as usual.
- What about the hotel security? Let's cut to the chase.
What have you heard? I'm worried, George.
I think the location is too visible.
What have you heard? I'm just I'm trying to protect the president.
Given everything that's going on right now, I think having this event at a hotel exposes him to unnecessary risk.
You haven't answered my question.
Without any new, credible information, there's no need to change venues, not from a security perspective, anyway.
Right.
Maybe we'll have to find a political one.
Thanks.
Did you tour the location? Twice.
Position is serviceable.
Distance won't be a problem.
Then why I am here? There are three exits on the roof of the hotel north, south, and east.
I need to know which one the target's going to use.
Why does that matter? We secured you a vantage point for flexibility.
Flexibility is for gymnasts.
I need a clean shot.
That means I need to know where he's going to be, the exact door he's going to exit.
I'll see what I can find out.
Try to relax.
It's only a few questions.
I'm sorry.
I just Can I have some water? Of course.
Shall we begin? - Do you believe in God? - Yes.
Have you always believed in God? Yes.
Does it think I'm lying? Because I'm not lying.
I-I I mean, I've had my doubts before in my life, but who hasn't? Try to relax.
There's no right answers.
We're just collecting information.
Thank you.
I understand you're a virgin.
Have you maintained your virginity strictly for religious reasons? I believe it's a small sacrifice to make for your husband.
"Yes" or "no," please.
I-I'm sorry.
What what was the question? Have you remained a virgin for religious reasons? Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Get me a towel in here.
Damn it! Go back to your room.
We'll pick this up when we get this fixed.
Go.
Damn it.
I can't go back in there, Perry.
I'm dropping out.
What happened? I spilled water on the machine thing.
I had to get out of there.
I'm pulling out.
Don't be crazy.
So what? You're not a virgin.
Just own it.
America will love you.
It's not America I'm worried about.
It's my family, Raul.
- Your fiancé doesn't know? - No.
When you lie, you go all-in.
I can't go back in there, Perry.
I'd rather go home than let people know the truth.
I quit.
I'm done.
How's James? Fighting for his life.
Doctor said he'd call with an update.
- Police know anything? - No.
Did you tell them anything? No.
Good.
Where were you? Took a walk.
A walk? I was with Rojas.
That open and honest thing we talked about? I know.
So, why the hesitation? I don't know.
James has been shot.
Your life could be in danger.
- It's a lot to deal with.
- I know.
That's why I need to know I can trust you.
Of course you can trust me.
If this is about your polygraph, you can relax.
You were brilliant.
Angela needs my help and quickly.
Why are you so bent on helping your competition? Angela's not my competition.
She's my friend.
And she can't take the lie-detector test.
So you pulled me out of my day for this? If anybody deserves to be a mother, it's Angela.
So do a lot of other women who will never get the chance.
But she would be amazing.
I don't have the patience that she does Or the support system.
I thought you called me out here to discuss something important.
I did.
I've been thinking about what kind of mother I would make.
And I'd be a good one.
Okay.
Maybe not great, but better than mine, and I turned out all right.
But even if I'm not the mother, I would still want to be a part of my child's life.
Of course.
No, I would want that, too.
I would want you to be like the baby's big sister.
I can do sister.
A very rich sister.
It's not about the money.
That doesn't mean I won't take it, but So, do we have a deal? You need to help Angela.
She shouldn't have to humiliate herself in front of the nation to prove that she could be a good mother.
Wow.
You look great.
Thank you.
Trying for something worthy of the occasion.
The announcement of the lottery winners it's gonna be historic.
Yeah, that's That's what I wanted to discuss.
I'm concerned about our approach.
The whole idea of the making the announcement at a hotel I don't think it's the best choice.
The parliament's a wonderful venue.
It's just been renovated.
It's a little over-the-top.
It's not very inviting.
Well, it's the grand finale.
Don't you think it should be somewhere grand? I just worry that it might feel a little cold.
We're choosing mothers.
The venue should feel homey, warm.
It shouldn't feel like these women are being taken away.
It should feel like they're coming home.
I I need to go, but I really think you should consider this.
I'll have to think about it.
Please do.
What is all this? Kessler's journal.
James e-mailed me these photos right before he was shot.
I've been trying to make sense of it.
Heliogenics was some kind of Manhattan project for infertility.
Their mission was to reduce population growth in order to sustain the planet.
Did Kessler know he was creating a weapon? It doesn't look like it.
I mean, according to his journal, he was doing purely scientific research.
And then things started to go haywire.
Someone within the government decided to turn the infertility research into a weapon.
This guy Mr.
Torino was the guy Kessler was trying to find, trying to hide from.
It's not entirely clear, except for the fact Kessler hated Mr.
Torino and thought he was the devil.
Mr.
Torino is a pseudonym? For someone very powerful Someone who forced Kessler down a dark path someone who would eventually have him killed.
I mean, this is Kessler's case against Mr.
Torino.
Everything except his name.
Which we know is Darius.
Which doesn't do us any good unless we can prove it.
Well, Mr.
Torino/Darius wiped his fingerprints off everything.
Kessler and everybody at Heliogenics is dead.
And as soon as we started to get close to Kessler's son, he sent his thugs to beat up James.
And as soon as James went to Kessler's house It was Darius who warned James to stay away.
It's Darius who's been covering up something all along.
So then let's keep digging.
We need to find something solid.
Open it.
- What are they? - Sedatives.
To help calm her nerves.
For a better chance at passing the test.
It's the best I could do.
Yeah, I don't think she's gonna go for this.
She's not into drugs.
If she wants to be a mother, she'll take the pill.
Simple as that.
Thanks.
Do we have an agreement? Gettin' closer.
So, we have a list of e-mail addresses Which are all defunct.
a few phone numbers Darius has wiped those clean, also.
and a bunch of stuff that doesn't make any sense, like this.
Mr.
Torino at 6880 DC.
Could it be some kind of alphanumeric code? "A-T, 6880, D-C.
" Mm.
How old is Darius? Maybe it's a a birthday.
August of '68? No, that's not it.
It's a license plate.
AT6880/D.
C.
It's a D.
C.
plate number.
She's got security scanning three new locations, including Westwood's Virginia estate.
Why? Did she give a reason? Something about optics.
She wants the event to feel familial.
I saw her this morning.
She didn't mention anything.
That was before she met with the chief of staff.
If they change venues, Darius, our plan goes to shit.
I'll look into it.
I can't help but feel this thing slipping away, Darius.
Vanessa knows we're about to make a move.
- And your daughter - Rose didn't hear a thing.
I want to make sure we're clear on that.
Well, that leaves Vanessa.
I'll take care of her.
I've got what you've been looking for V8 engine, leather interior.
Oh, she's beautiful, isn't she? Do you remember who sold it to you? Well, not exactly.
That was eight years ago.
Was it this man? It was an auctioneer.
I-I bought it at a charity auction.
Anonymous donation.
Imagine that someone giving away a car like this.
Thank you very much for your time, Mr.
Bradley.
There has to be some kind of record, something still tying the car to Darius.
We have the rantings of a dead man and an old Ford Torino.
- It's a start.
- No, Alison.
It's an end.
I'm sorry, but I have to stop worrying about what Darius did.
I need to focus on what he's going to do next.
I don't know, Perry.
It just feels like I'm trying to hide one sin by committing another.
It's not ecstasy.
It's a sedative, like antianxiety.
- Everybody takes them.
- W-what if I get caught? What if they do a random blood test? They tested us right when we got here.
This place is on lockdown.
They're not gonna test us again.
- Where'd you get them? - A friend.
A friend who won't rat us out.
It just feels like it's cheating.
Says the girl who took my slot in the psych exam.
I've lost my way.
It's time for me to go home.
No.
Wait.
Angela, you're a good person.
I'm just I'm just trying to help, okay? And you're sorry, so God has to forgive you, right? It'll be okay.
Hey.
Isn't there a Bible verse or something that says, "when God closes a door, he opens a window"? That was "The sound of music.
" Okay, so, almost the same thing.
Thank you.
Gabrielle.
Sorry to keep bugging you, but where have you landed on the venue change? I really think the parliament is the perfect location.
Gabby, there are other reasons the lottery announcement is going to be an event that changes people's lives.
We need a grand venue for such an occasion.
I'm afraid I agree with Darius.
It's gonna be an unforgettable night.
I'm sure it will be.
Just so you know, you're not the only one freaking out about the lie-detector test.
You should see some of the other women.
When you get right down to it, everybody's got some secret they're trying to hide.
Hey.
You better wake up.
Hey, come on.
You have like 10 minutes before your test.
Angela, wake up.
Angela.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Come on, Angela.
Oh, God.
Come on, Angela! Snap out of it! Angela.
Help! Somebody, help! We need a doctor right now! Hey! Angela needs help! Hurry.
I don't think she's breathing.
What happened? I don't know.
She just stopped breathing.
No pulse.
Is she taking any medication, any drugs? Yeah.
Some sort of sedative.
What kind? I don't know, but I don't think they were strong.
- How many did she take? - I don't know.
On the ground? Clear.
There we go.
Come on, Angela.
Come on.
Still not responsive.
Angela, please.
Let's scoop and run.
Ple please help her.
- I was just trying to help her.
- I know.
She wanted so badly to be a mother.
- Perry.
- Why did we give her those pills? Perry, I need you to calm down.
- We killed her.
- Hey, now, you listen to me.
We did not kill Angela, all right? I told her to take one, just one, but she was so worried about passing the test All right.
All right.
You need to stay out of it.
All right? If anybody asks, your answer is, "I do not know.
" All right? - What is the coroner gonna say? - He's doing an autopsy now.
And then I'm sure he'll eventually get around to the truth, which is that Angela was having a hard time coping with the stress of the competition.
And she somehow got hold of some sedatives, and she took too many.
All right? - Okay? - We gave her those pills.
Now, that is exactly what you are not going to say ever to anybody.
Do you understand me? - I should have just let her go home.
- But you didn't.
You're a smart girl, Perry.
You need to think this through.
Now, you can either have a bright future with a lot of money or you can dig your own grave.
Now, that shouldn't be a difficult decision to make.
Look, our relationship is based on trust.
I can't just go in there and take Alison's phone.
Oh, because you're sleeping with her.
Because she'll know it's me.
Then I lose all access to her.
That doesn't do you any good now, either, does it? Fine.
Fine.
You don't want to take her phone, I understand.
We're still gonna need the information her phone was going to give us.
What the hell do you want with Alison? She's just as anti-government as you are.
Just be straight with me.
What the hell are you guys after? We want the embryos.
At the end, that's all that really matters.
Everything else will fall away.
Whoever controls the embryos controls the future.
We need Dr.
Lennon to make this happen.
Come on, Kyle.
Why do you think we went after you? We knew you had an in with Alison.
So, you helping me get Elvis back that's what? A means to an end.
This looks nice.
It is nice.
It's one of my favorite spots.
- Thank you.
- I'm so thirsty.
You know, I was, um thinking just the other day, the vice president has a daughter your age.
Did you know her at school? No.
But you've met the vice president, right? No, I don't think so.
He was at the house last night.
I meant to introduce you.
Yeah, I was so tired.
I don't really remember anybody.
Plus, I feel like all those politicians just all look the same to me.
I know what you mean.
You know, when I'm with politicians, sometimes we speculate about things Different political scenarios.
But it's not real.
It's just an exercise.
We play games.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm sure it's just all white noise to you when you hear us talking.
Yeah, pretty much.
You know, Rose, I've been thinking about the last six years since the, uh, fertility crisis began, and I I want to apologize if I have not been available or if I've been preoccupied.
I want us to spend more time together.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
And I really, really want you to speak freely with me.
Tell me whatever it is you're feeling.
It's really important that we tell each other the truth.
Yeah, of course.
I'm just gonna run to the bathroom.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Hi.
It's Rose.
Um It's about my father.
I think that he's up to something.
He's involved in something big, and I just wanted to talk to somebody.
- Sorry.
- Who were you talking to? You called somebody.
I saw you.
I was just talking to my friend.
No big deal.
May I see your phone? - What? - I'd like to see your phone.
- What are you talking about? - I want to know who you called.
Rose I need to know that I can trust you.
- Who are you right now? - Your father.
Pardon me.
- Here.
- Don't.
I'm so sorry, sir.
Look, I don't mean to drop this all on you.
I just want to be up front about all this.
So, Rojas claims he can get all this back.
But to do that, he wants you to clone my phone, eavesdrop, and steal information.
Pretty much.
Do you really think he can do it? Or is this some kind of game he's playing? I'm not sure, but he has access to the department of humanity.
I saw Elvis on video.
And he has moles on the inside.
That I know.
Set up a meeting with Rojas.
You don't have to do this.
Set up the meeting.
Hi.
This is Rose.
Leave me a message.
Rose, hi.
It's Vanessa.
Um, I've been trying to get a hold of you.
I'm here.
I'm at the garage.
But I don't see you.
Call me back.
Rose? Rose? Hello? Rose? Hello? Darius.
Hello, Vanessa.
- I j I was just - I know.
I know why you're here.
Rose left her phone at the restaurant.
You were the last person she called.
What do you want? I just want the truth.
About what? Rose.
You.
Darius, I don't know what you're talking Would you like a drink? No.
This could take some time.
I'm not doing this.
Yes, you are.
We've got moles inside of the "D" of "H," very close to your son.
You give me a picture of my son wearing this mask, I'll do whatever it is you want I'm guessing the other day the extra perks comes with strings, right? What do you want? You don't really want to be a mother, do you? Excuse me? We're not saying that your father caused the fertility crisis, but we do believe he knew it was coming.
What do you want from me? Did he leave anything behind, maybe papers or a like a zip drive or anything? Anything.
It's been eight years.
There must be something.
Dr.
Kessler.
Don't make me shoot you for no reason.
Wait.
I need to get to Dr.
Kessler's.
That's the problem.
Kessler just turned up dead.
I don't know what the hell you've been doing.
You have upset some very powerful people.
I'm gonna meet our friend later today.
What if he doesn't come through? What if we don't get the information we need? What's plan "b"? Plan "b"? There is no plan "b.
" We're trying to kill the damn king.
Agent Kent said you could help me out.
All I need is a photo and a start point.
The person I want you to follow is Darius Hayes.
For the recordI'm sorry it has to go down this way.
I mean, Tom's a good man.
And I was hoping he'd see the light.
Were you sleeping? Yeah.
It all comes down to honesty.
Truth the foundation of any good relationship, especially the relationship between a mother and a child.
We can measure truthfulness over time using human observation, or we can measure it with technology.
In the final challenge, each prospective mother will be connected to a polygraph machine and asked a series of probing questions.
We've heard what these women want us to hear.
Now we hear the truth.
Okay.
Cut it.
That's a wrap.
Vanessa, you you remember Rose.
Nice job, everybody.
Thanks.
Yes, we met at the opening-night gala.
It's nice to see you again.
- You, too.
- What do you think? Well, nothing says motherhood like an interrogation.
Hello, everyone.
Good morning.
Rose.
I saw you last night.
You remember? No, I don't really I was really tired.
Yeah.
You mind if I borrow your father for a minute? No.
Great.
You all right? I don't know.
I D.
C.
is such a weird place.
Like, I feel like everyone's just always having these whispered conversations.
You're whispering.
But, um Is there something on your mind? If there's ever anything you want to talk about, anything at all You can trust me.
What are you ladies up to? Just a little girl talk.
That was exhausting.
In a good way.
Nice save.
It's just been a long time since I've had that kind of connection.
Yeah? Yeah.
Don't get it.
No, don't get it.
Hello? This is Dr.
Lennon.
What? I'll be right there.
What is it? Alison, what's wrong? He's been shot.
- Who? - James.
S01E08 Truth Be Told Uh, can I help you, miss? I'm Dr.
Lennon.
I'm here to see James Lynch.
- Your relationship to Dr.
Lynch? - Co-worker.
Friend.
Is he okay? Not sure.
Doctor's with him.
Well, what happened? Gunshot wound to the chest.
WhWhere was he? Who shot him? We're still investigating.
Do you know a Dr.
Mark Kessler Jr.
? Kessler Jr.
no.
Any idea what Dr.
Lynch was doing at Dr.
Kessler Jr.
's beach house? No, I-I have no idea.
Where where's James? I need to talk to a doctor.
I-I still have a few more questions.
And I have no more answers.
My friend may be dying.
And if you keep me here, he may go before I can say goodbye.
- We're ready.
- Okay.
I'll see what I can do.
Our friend would like to meet with you later today.
About what? I thought it was all arranged.
He didn't say.
Must be nice to have your daughter back.
Have you talked to her about last night? Excuse me? Darius, she was right next to us.
She was sleeping.
No.
She wasn't.
I saw her.
She was on medication.
I saw the pills.
That's what she does.
She has a problem.
I don't need to tell you what the stakes are here.
That's right, Alan.
You don't.
But if she did hear our conversation She didn't.
I'm positive.
Then I'll leave it to you.
There's been no further contact with Darius? This sniper what else can you tell me? He's traveling under an alias Eugene Jones.
Pays cash for everything.
He's even got someone back home using his credit card so it looks like never left.
He's booked on a flight to Charlotte at 11:25 p.
m.
night after next.
That's the night of the lottery announcement.
Is that what he's? It must be.
It must be.
Could he be targeting the president? I don't speculate.
I give you information.
What you do with it is up to you.
Anything else? I'll be in touch.
They know we're onto them, Vanessa.
They just shot James.
It should have been me.
I should have been the one playing detective at Kessler's.
Alison, this is not your fault.
So, now what? How do we nail the son of a bitch who did this? I understand the urge to seek revenge.
But right now, you need to lie low.
Do nothing.
It is too dangerous.
Screw that! This thing just got very personal.
We need to nail Darius.
No, we are not doing anything.
I want to bury Darius just as badly as you do, but you have to let me handle this.
Alison, they just went after James.
They could come after you next.
Please keep in mind, Miss Sommers this interview is being broadcast to the entire nation.
Please answer with a simple "yes" or "no.
" Do you understand? Sounds pretty straightforward.
"Yes" or "no.
" Yes.
You mentioned your mother was a drinker.
Do you have a history of excessive use of alcohol? I wouldn't call it excessive.
"Yes" or "no," please.
No.
Have you ever consumed alcohol while working? I was a bartender.
Yes.
Have you ever become violent while intoxicated? Yes.
Would you consider that appropriate behavior for a mother? - No.
- Do you believe it's important to have an affectionate relationship with your child? Yes.
Was your mother affectionate with you? That's subjective and complicated.
Do you feel you're equipped to give a child everything that they might need to thrive in today's world? No.
But who the hell is? Think you'll make a good mother? I think I will try to do whatever is best for my child.
If the answer is yes, please say yes.
The answer is, I have no idea, and whoever claims to is full of shit.
God bless you, James.
Kyle.
What's the problem? Didn't have any luck cloning her phone.
We tried, but it was encrypted.
- You sure about that? - Yep.
We talked about security measures at the lab.
She said the department of humanity is all over her phone and tablet.
So, I guess you're just gonna have to steal it.
I'm reborn in the eyes of the lord the sins of my past washed clean.
I've been born again in the eyes of the lord and the sins of my past washed clean.
Hallelujah! Get a move on, sister.
It's time for confession.
- What, right now? - Don't worry.
It's the truth challenge.
And you're basically the poster child for the purity.
Before I found Jesus, I was a different person.
Different how? Inside.
You're not a virgin, are you? Spiritually, I am.
So, that's a no.
Oh, God.
Perry, I can't do this.
Everyone thinks I'm perfect.
Hey, I have the exact opposite problem.
There's nothing to worry about.
They're gonna find out.
They probably won't even ask if you're a virgin or not.
What if they do ask in front of the whole world watching? - Slow down.
- What am I supposed to do? Here's what you do you relax.
- Oh, gosh.
Relax? - Yeah.
Come on.
Make your body relax.
The machine only looks at how you react.
It can't look inside your heart.
You think I can fool that machine? I don't think I can.
If you stay calm, you will be fine.
Yeah.
You wanted to see me? Yes, I did, George.
I was wondering what kind of chatter you've been hearing about the lottery finale.
Just the usual some protests, some threats, nothing credible, thank God.
Nothing at all? Nothing almost credible? No.
Not that I know of.
I spoke to the secret service two hours ago.
- Business as usual.
- What about the hotel security? Let's cut to the chase.
What have you heard? I'm worried, George.
I think the location is too visible.
What have you heard? I'm just I'm trying to protect the president.
Given everything that's going on right now, I think having this event at a hotel exposes him to unnecessary risk.
You haven't answered my question.
Without any new, credible information, there's no need to change venues, not from a security perspective, anyway.
Right.
Maybe we'll have to find a political one.
Thanks.
Did you tour the location? Twice.
Position is serviceable.
Distance won't be a problem.
Then why I am here? There are three exits on the roof of the hotel north, south, and east.
I need to know which one the target's going to use.
Why does that matter? We secured you a vantage point for flexibility.
Flexibility is for gymnasts.
I need a clean shot.
That means I need to know where he's going to be, the exact door he's going to exit.
I'll see what I can find out.
Try to relax.
It's only a few questions.
I'm sorry.
I just Can I have some water? Of course.
Shall we begin? - Do you believe in God? - Yes.
Have you always believed in God? Yes.
Does it think I'm lying? Because I'm not lying.
I-I I mean, I've had my doubts before in my life, but who hasn't? Try to relax.
There's no right answers.
We're just collecting information.
Thank you.
I understand you're a virgin.
Have you maintained your virginity strictly for religious reasons? I believe it's a small sacrifice to make for your husband.
"Yes" or "no," please.
I-I'm sorry.
What what was the question? Have you remained a virgin for religious reasons? Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Get me a towel in here.
Damn it! Go back to your room.
We'll pick this up when we get this fixed.
Go.
Damn it.
I can't go back in there, Perry.
I'm dropping out.
What happened? I spilled water on the machine thing.
I had to get out of there.
I'm pulling out.
Don't be crazy.
So what? You're not a virgin.
Just own it.
America will love you.
It's not America I'm worried about.
It's my family, Raul.
- Your fiancé doesn't know? - No.
When you lie, you go all-in.
I can't go back in there, Perry.
I'd rather go home than let people know the truth.
I quit.
I'm done.
How's James? Fighting for his life.
Doctor said he'd call with an update.
- Police know anything? - No.
Did you tell them anything? No.
Good.
Where were you? Took a walk.
A walk? I was with Rojas.
That open and honest thing we talked about? I know.
So, why the hesitation? I don't know.
James has been shot.
Your life could be in danger.
- It's a lot to deal with.
- I know.
That's why I need to know I can trust you.
Of course you can trust me.
If this is about your polygraph, you can relax.
You were brilliant.
Angela needs my help and quickly.
Why are you so bent on helping your competition? Angela's not my competition.
She's my friend.
And she can't take the lie-detector test.
So you pulled me out of my day for this? If anybody deserves to be a mother, it's Angela.
So do a lot of other women who will never get the chance.
But she would be amazing.
I don't have the patience that she does Or the support system.
I thought you called me out here to discuss something important.
I did.
I've been thinking about what kind of mother I would make.
And I'd be a good one.
Okay.
Maybe not great, but better than mine, and I turned out all right.
But even if I'm not the mother, I would still want to be a part of my child's life.
Of course.
No, I would want that, too.
I would want you to be like the baby's big sister.
I can do sister.
A very rich sister.
It's not about the money.
That doesn't mean I won't take it, but So, do we have a deal? You need to help Angela.
She shouldn't have to humiliate herself in front of the nation to prove that she could be a good mother.
Wow.
You look great.
Thank you.
Trying for something worthy of the occasion.
The announcement of the lottery winners it's gonna be historic.
Yeah, that's That's what I wanted to discuss.
I'm concerned about our approach.
The whole idea of the making the announcement at a hotel I don't think it's the best choice.
The parliament's a wonderful venue.
It's just been renovated.
It's a little over-the-top.
It's not very inviting.
Well, it's the grand finale.
Don't you think it should be somewhere grand? I just worry that it might feel a little cold.
We're choosing mothers.
The venue should feel homey, warm.
It shouldn't feel like these women are being taken away.
It should feel like they're coming home.
I I need to go, but I really think you should consider this.
I'll have to think about it.
Please do.
What is all this? Kessler's journal.
James e-mailed me these photos right before he was shot.
I've been trying to make sense of it.
Heliogenics was some kind of Manhattan project for infertility.
Their mission was to reduce population growth in order to sustain the planet.
Did Kessler know he was creating a weapon? It doesn't look like it.
I mean, according to his journal, he was doing purely scientific research.
And then things started to go haywire.
Someone within the government decided to turn the infertility research into a weapon.
This guy Mr.
Torino was the guy Kessler was trying to find, trying to hide from.
It's not entirely clear, except for the fact Kessler hated Mr.
Torino and thought he was the devil.
Mr.
Torino is a pseudonym? For someone very powerful Someone who forced Kessler down a dark path someone who would eventually have him killed.
I mean, this is Kessler's case against Mr.
Torino.
Everything except his name.
Which we know is Darius.
Which doesn't do us any good unless we can prove it.
Well, Mr.
Torino/Darius wiped his fingerprints off everything.
Kessler and everybody at Heliogenics is dead.
And as soon as we started to get close to Kessler's son, he sent his thugs to beat up James.
And as soon as James went to Kessler's house It was Darius who warned James to stay away.
It's Darius who's been covering up something all along.
So then let's keep digging.
We need to find something solid.
Open it.
- What are they? - Sedatives.
To help calm her nerves.
For a better chance at passing the test.
It's the best I could do.
Yeah, I don't think she's gonna go for this.
She's not into drugs.
If she wants to be a mother, she'll take the pill.
Simple as that.
Thanks.
Do we have an agreement? Gettin' closer.
So, we have a list of e-mail addresses Which are all defunct.
a few phone numbers Darius has wiped those clean, also.
and a bunch of stuff that doesn't make any sense, like this.
Mr.
Torino at 6880 DC.
Could it be some kind of alphanumeric code? "A-T, 6880, D-C.
" Mm.
How old is Darius? Maybe it's a a birthday.
August of '68? No, that's not it.
It's a license plate.
AT6880/D.
C.
It's a D.
C.
plate number.
She's got security scanning three new locations, including Westwood's Virginia estate.
Why? Did she give a reason? Something about optics.
She wants the event to feel familial.
I saw her this morning.
She didn't mention anything.
That was before she met with the chief of staff.
If they change venues, Darius, our plan goes to shit.
I'll look into it.
I can't help but feel this thing slipping away, Darius.
Vanessa knows we're about to make a move.
- And your daughter - Rose didn't hear a thing.
I want to make sure we're clear on that.
Well, that leaves Vanessa.
I'll take care of her.
I've got what you've been looking for V8 engine, leather interior.
Oh, she's beautiful, isn't she? Do you remember who sold it to you? Well, not exactly.
That was eight years ago.
Was it this man? It was an auctioneer.
I-I bought it at a charity auction.
Anonymous donation.
Imagine that someone giving away a car like this.
Thank you very much for your time, Mr.
Bradley.
There has to be some kind of record, something still tying the car to Darius.
We have the rantings of a dead man and an old Ford Torino.
- It's a start.
- No, Alison.
It's an end.
I'm sorry, but I have to stop worrying about what Darius did.
I need to focus on what he's going to do next.
I don't know, Perry.
It just feels like I'm trying to hide one sin by committing another.
It's not ecstasy.
It's a sedative, like antianxiety.
- Everybody takes them.
- W-what if I get caught? What if they do a random blood test? They tested us right when we got here.
This place is on lockdown.
They're not gonna test us again.
- Where'd you get them? - A friend.
A friend who won't rat us out.
It just feels like it's cheating.
Says the girl who took my slot in the psych exam.
I've lost my way.
It's time for me to go home.
No.
Wait.
Angela, you're a good person.
I'm just I'm just trying to help, okay? And you're sorry, so God has to forgive you, right? It'll be okay.
Hey.
Isn't there a Bible verse or something that says, "when God closes a door, he opens a window"? That was "The sound of music.
" Okay, so, almost the same thing.
Thank you.
Gabrielle.
Sorry to keep bugging you, but where have you landed on the venue change? I really think the parliament is the perfect location.
Gabby, there are other reasons the lottery announcement is going to be an event that changes people's lives.
We need a grand venue for such an occasion.
I'm afraid I agree with Darius.
It's gonna be an unforgettable night.
I'm sure it will be.
Just so you know, you're not the only one freaking out about the lie-detector test.
You should see some of the other women.
When you get right down to it, everybody's got some secret they're trying to hide.
Hey.
You better wake up.
Hey, come on.
You have like 10 minutes before your test.
Angela, wake up.
Angela.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Come on, Angela.
Oh, God.
Come on, Angela! Snap out of it! Angela.
Help! Somebody, help! We need a doctor right now! Hey! Angela needs help! Hurry.
I don't think she's breathing.
What happened? I don't know.
She just stopped breathing.
No pulse.
Is she taking any medication, any drugs? Yeah.
Some sort of sedative.
What kind? I don't know, but I don't think they were strong.
- How many did she take? - I don't know.
On the ground? Clear.
There we go.
Come on, Angela.
Come on.
Still not responsive.
Angela, please.
Let's scoop and run.
Ple please help her.
- I was just trying to help her.
- I know.
She wanted so badly to be a mother.
- Perry.
- Why did we give her those pills? Perry, I need you to calm down.
- We killed her.
- Hey, now, you listen to me.
We did not kill Angela, all right? I told her to take one, just one, but she was so worried about passing the test All right.
All right.
You need to stay out of it.
All right? If anybody asks, your answer is, "I do not know.
" All right? - What is the coroner gonna say? - He's doing an autopsy now.
And then I'm sure he'll eventually get around to the truth, which is that Angela was having a hard time coping with the stress of the competition.
And she somehow got hold of some sedatives, and she took too many.
All right? - Okay? - We gave her those pills.
Now, that is exactly what you are not going to say ever to anybody.
Do you understand me? - I should have just let her go home.
- But you didn't.
You're a smart girl, Perry.
You need to think this through.
Now, you can either have a bright future with a lot of money or you can dig your own grave.
Now, that shouldn't be a difficult decision to make.
Look, our relationship is based on trust.
I can't just go in there and take Alison's phone.
Oh, because you're sleeping with her.
Because she'll know it's me.
Then I lose all access to her.
That doesn't do you any good now, either, does it? Fine.
Fine.
You don't want to take her phone, I understand.
We're still gonna need the information her phone was going to give us.
What the hell do you want with Alison? She's just as anti-government as you are.
Just be straight with me.
What the hell are you guys after? We want the embryos.
At the end, that's all that really matters.
Everything else will fall away.
Whoever controls the embryos controls the future.
We need Dr.
Lennon to make this happen.
Come on, Kyle.
Why do you think we went after you? We knew you had an in with Alison.
So, you helping me get Elvis back that's what? A means to an end.
This looks nice.
It is nice.
It's one of my favorite spots.
- Thank you.
- I'm so thirsty.
You know, I was, um thinking just the other day, the vice president has a daughter your age.
Did you know her at school? No.
But you've met the vice president, right? No, I don't think so.
He was at the house last night.
I meant to introduce you.
Yeah, I was so tired.
I don't really remember anybody.
Plus, I feel like all those politicians just all look the same to me.
I know what you mean.
You know, when I'm with politicians, sometimes we speculate about things Different political scenarios.
But it's not real.
It's just an exercise.
We play games.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm sure it's just all white noise to you when you hear us talking.
Yeah, pretty much.
You know, Rose, I've been thinking about the last six years since the, uh, fertility crisis began, and I I want to apologize if I have not been available or if I've been preoccupied.
I want us to spend more time together.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
And I really, really want you to speak freely with me.
Tell me whatever it is you're feeling.
It's really important that we tell each other the truth.
Yeah, of course.
I'm just gonna run to the bathroom.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Hi.
It's Rose.
Um It's about my father.
I think that he's up to something.
He's involved in something big, and I just wanted to talk to somebody.
- Sorry.
- Who were you talking to? You called somebody.
I saw you.
I was just talking to my friend.
No big deal.
May I see your phone? - What? - I'd like to see your phone.
- What are you talking about? - I want to know who you called.
Rose I need to know that I can trust you.
- Who are you right now? - Your father.
Pardon me.
- Here.
- Don't.
I'm so sorry, sir.
Look, I don't mean to drop this all on you.
I just want to be up front about all this.
So, Rojas claims he can get all this back.
But to do that, he wants you to clone my phone, eavesdrop, and steal information.
Pretty much.
Do you really think he can do it? Or is this some kind of game he's playing? I'm not sure, but he has access to the department of humanity.
I saw Elvis on video.
And he has moles on the inside.
That I know.
Set up a meeting with Rojas.
You don't have to do this.
Set up the meeting.
Hi.
This is Rose.
Leave me a message.
Rose, hi.
It's Vanessa.
Um, I've been trying to get a hold of you.
I'm here.
I'm at the garage.
But I don't see you.
Call me back.
Rose? Rose? Hello? Rose? Hello? Darius.
Hello, Vanessa.
- I j I was just - I know.
I know why you're here.
Rose left her phone at the restaurant.
You were the last person she called.
What do you want? I just want the truth.
About what? Rose.
You.
Darius, I don't know what you're talking Would you like a drink? No.
This could take some time.
I'm not doing this.
Yes, you are.
