Alphas s01e11 Episode Script

I've got Isaac.
He's made contact-- female, early 20s.
They're on the move.
The girl seems to be leading.
Gary, can you get me an image? Yeah, okay, I got it.
See the way she's moving? She's an Alpha, too.
She's processing her environment somehow.
Isaac Hale's an assassin, right? My guess is she's his tracker.
She finds the target, and our man closes the deal.
I don't get it.
Sullivan said that Red Flag leaders have been vanishing off the grid all week.
Something's up.
Well, he's our only lead.
So keep an eye on him.
But don't engage.
Hey, hey, there's a pawnshop.
We can sell it here.
No, no, these places rip you off.
Baby, you're hurting.
We need the money.
No, Will.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
You have something of mine.
You can piss off.
No, baby, don't.
Go, go, come on! Don't make me kill you.
It makes me tired, and then I get cranky.
He found his target.
- Where? - Down the alley! Left! Go left! Come on! Will! Get off him.
I know you're a couple of brain-dead junkies, but for once, be smart.
Give it back.
He said piss off.
Your fault.
Cover's blown.
We were supposed to be following him.
Will? You killed him.
Danielle.
No.
Nina! Push her.
Make her come with us.
Dani! Rachel, go after Isaac.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Cameron, follow Isaac.
I-I-I have to go after that girl.
What's so special about the girl? She's my daughter.
Don't say no for an answer and there's no telling where we've been 'cause people don't understand understand, understand people don't understand people like me I knew Rosen had a daughter and they didn't get along, but he never told me she was an Alpha.
She just made you cry? It just came out of nowhere? When she touched me, I felt like I lost my best friend.
It's like she can force people to feel whatever she wants.
Sure as hell didn't seem too happy to see Rosen.
Man, if my kid ever looked at me that way - I lost him.
- Damn it.
You lost someone? Yeah, I'm not the one who flew in there like Jackie Chan and blew our cover.
Hey, I'm not sure if you noticed, but he was killing people.
Gary, you got anything? Yeah, Danielle Sophia Rosen.
She ran away from home at 17, and she was arrested-- No, look, not about Rosen's daughter, about Isaac Hale.
No, I lost him when Rachel did.
But--but don't worry.
I'm multitasking.
We should circle the neighborhood, see if Rachel can track his scent.
Okay.
Okay.
Just don't drive by that Thai place, okay? It totally kills my sense of smell.
Hello? Where is everybody? Who's Manning the fort? It's not a fort, Bill.
That's a bad metaphor.
Forts have ramparts and cannons.
We have desks and carpet.
You're sitting in the boss' chair? What, are you in charge now? Where is everybody? Yeah, Bill, I am in charge when no one else is here.
What are you doing here anyway? You're sick.
You should be resting-- six more days, not including the weekend.
I'm fine.
The doctor, uh, said that that infarction actually normalized me, so Infar-- Yeah, no more overdrive, no more under-drive--I'm optimal.
So that rest was only precautionary.
- Bill, Bill.
- Yeah? Infarction.
Come on.
Gary, not now.
Listen-- Fart.
- Listen, we've got to focus.
- I'm being immature.
You know we've been trying to figure out why the Red Flag leadership has been off the grid, right? Yeah, it's an ongoing investigation.
And you're interrupting it.
No, I'm laying at home, right, sitting on my ass, and I'm thinking I may actually have a possible lead.
You know how that invisible girl, Griffin, said I need to find out who or what Stanton Parish was, right? Yeah, well, go and look it up on your computer, Bill.
It's easy.
Use a search engine.
Gary, listen to me, I already tried that.
I couldn't find anything, all right? Don't put your fingers in my stream.
Then I got to thinking.
Why did Red Flag try so hard to erase our M.
K.
Ultra files? What if the secret to Stanton Parish is on Dr.
Rosen's cloud drive? Bill, you want me to look through the cloud drive? Uh, yeah, exactly what-- Well, I can't.
I'm already multitasking.
No, Gary, you can do it all, Gary.
I'm looking for Isaac and I'm tracking Dani.
Who the hell is Dani? There's Dani.
Dr.
Rosen, I got your daughter.
Can I have my key? She's at the Baltimore Hotel.
That's a no-star hotel.
The only review says, "Don't stay here.
" Dani! Danielle.
Danielle, are you in there? Danielle.
Dani, if you're in there, please open the door.
I thought I was hallucinating.
You're not As--as far as I can tell.
I don't want you here.
Well, I-I don't want you here.
I-I want you to come with me.
No.
That's nice, Dad.
Dani Dani, you're in pain.
Just leave me alone.
I know you're always hurting after you use your ability.
I don't care.
Will you please just let me help you? Oh, what are you gonna do-- give me another therapy session? Dani, run.
Run.
Come on.
Get off of me! Dani Dani! Come on.
Come on.
Two for one.
Nobody had to die.
You just had to give them back.
Dani, will you sit down for a second, please? I'd like to check your vitals.
Please, Dad, I am not gonna make you cry At least not from my ability.
So what are you on now-- painkillers again or what? Come on, don't tell me we're gonna have an intervention.
Just trying to help.
Not bad.
So what is it? Lamotrigine.
Lamotrigine? That's an anticonvulsant, among other things.
Yeah, I know.
I mean, it's-- it's not what I'm on, but it's what works best Better than the Ritalin you used to give me, even better than the Trazadone, and better than the Oxycontin, which, uh, by the way, I did take a few hours ago.
Just in case you were gonna ask me to give you a urine sample next, so Okay, okay.
Fine.
Lamotrigine.
Look, why don't you just write me a prescription, put it on your insurance, and I'll be out of your life again.
Don't think so.
I'm, uh, sorry about that boy.
Oh, well, he was hardly a boy.
He was 34 years old.
Dani, I need to know why that man was chasing you.
Finally there's the real question.
His name was Isaac Hale.
He killed people for a living.
He was part of a group called Red Flag.
Red Flag--is that one of your punk bands? You know, Dani, there are no rules that say you can't tell the truth every once in a while.
There it is.
That's what I remember-- that disapproving look.
Sorry to interrupt.
Lee? He's all yours.
We have a time-- tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.
m.
Wait a minute.
What exactly are we talking about here? We've been monitoring Red Flag's communications ever since their leaders started dropping off the grid.
We don't know what they're planning or where, but we have a timeline now, so we are on the clock.
Lee? Kathy, I don't think you understand.
The young woman in my office-- Yeah, I know she's your daughter.
That's why I'm not questioning why you killed our best lead.
But you did.
And now I need you to set aside your family business-- Red Flag wanted something from my daughter, so badly that they were willing to kill her for it.
If your daughter can help us with this case, great.
But if not, you're a therapist.
Compartmentalize.
I know you're concerned, honey.
But I wouldn't have come to work if I wasn't feeling better.
All right? You know that about me.
I don't need the-- - Bill, I found it.
- I don't need the pills, babe.
I'm at work.
I'm busy, okay? - Bill, what-- you're drinking pills.
Bill, come on, I found it.
You asked me to do this.
Babe, I got to go.
I'll go-- yes, I'll take it easy.
Yeah, you found who? Stanton Parish-- he was a who.
And you were right-- he was on the cloud drive.
So he's a scientist who died in 1974.
Yeah, and he worked for the government, for M.
K.
Ultra.
And before he died, he wrote this, Bill.
It's a manifesto about Alphas.
And back then, they weren't even called Alphas.
All right, so, "Neuro-dominant humanity represents "the greatest potential advancement for civilization "since man first walked upright, "which is why those who fear change "will inevitably seek to eliminate us.
" The-- he was an Alpha? Yeah, and he was a good writer.
Anna writes stuff like this.
Stanton Parish is Red Flag's favorite dead author? No, invisible girl made it sound like this guy was the key to everything.
So there's got to be more, Gary.
- Bill, look how much I printed.
- No, I know, this is a lot.
But there's got to be more.
Please keep digging.
Yeah, I-I I don't think I like hard work.
Dani, I need you to tell me the truth about what happened.
We don't have time for games.
Of course we don't have time for games.
We never had time for games.
There's blood tests, psych tests, E.
E.
G.
s, sure, but games? Why don't you just stick some electrodes to my forehead, Dad? Just for old times' sake, tell me how I'm feeling.
- That was 15 years ago-- - So I should be over it? I mean, is that what you're saying? You're in serious trouble, Danielle.
You need to calm down, tell me what happened, so I can help you.
So you want to help.
You know what Will would do when I was upset? Bring me flowers Get me whatever drug I needed, even if he had to steal it.
Then again, he loved me, so Well, I love you, too.
You want to know what Red Flag was after? These.
I took 'em from some guy at a meeting.
I thought they were rubies.
But, uh, it turns out they're just glass.
Hands up.
Ow.
I don't like-- Ow.
Anna.
It's good to see you.
You always say that we can't meet up.
But I-I wanted to see you again.
It's good to see you.
It has all your sounds on there.
That's very cool, Anna.
I've missed our conversations.
Yeah, I've missed them, too.
And doctor-- oh.
Okay.
I wish you were here for another reason.
That quote you sent me, Gary Oh, yeah.
"Society's acceptance is a prison disguised as a palace.
" Where did you find that? It's Stanton Parish.
Is he your favorite writer, Anna? Gary, Stanton Parish is a very dangerous man.
You shouldn't be asking questions about him.
Anna you said "is.
" Stanton Parish is dead.
He died 30 years ago.
He--he's Red Flag's favorite dead author.
You need to go now, Gary.
Anna, why-- why do I have to go now? I just got here.
Why do I--Anna, Anna, don't make me go.
It was difficult for me to come and see you.
Anna, I had to be sneaky.
Ow.
Anna.
Dani you did the right thing giving us the necklace.
Thank you.
We should talk.
Will you sit down, please.
- The past is past, okay?- Okay.
And I-I think you'll find that I'm a pretty different person than I was 15 years ago.
Are you? To me, you seem to be pretty much exactly the same Except now you have a whole team of people to play with.
Don't talk about what you don't know.
You have no idea what's going on.
Dad, there are different kinds of lying.
You can tell people what they want to hear.
You can, uh, pretend that you care.
And then there's outright manipulation.
And when have I ever manipulated you? "Camel mealie.
" Chamomile tea? Whenever mom would get angry at you for locking yourself in a room with your lab work, you would come to me and say, "Dani, mommy's sad.
" "Please bring her a cup of 'camel mealie' tea.
" Right, no, I remember.
But, Dani, that's not-- So I would bring her the tea, and I would sit on her lap, and I would stroke her arm, and she'd feel better.
Empathic contagion, right? Isn't that what you call it? All right, that's right.
Well, that was me.
I was mommy's little helper.
But, uh, you know, that's not exactly the way it happened.
And that was before I knew about your ability.
You're right, Dad.
you're always right Except with the tea, I did that until mom and I moved out when I was 12.
You knew what I could do when I was nine.
Hey, Doc.
Doc, come here.
Listen You okay? Yeah, it was a mistake to bring my daughter here.
We have 12 hours to figure out what Red Flag is up to.
No, no, listen to me, Doc-- That's what we should be working on.
Doc, listen to me.
Listen to me.
We haven't cracked it yet, but Gary and I just found something that is huge.
You need to see it now.
All right.
So we looked for the name, but all we found was a book by a dead guy.
And then when I asked Anna about it, she just lied to me again.
Gary, you spoke with Anna? I expressly told you not to do that.
Doc, I told him the same thing, okay? But he's his own man now.
Now, just give him a minute.
Yeah, yeah, give me a minute.
I'm my own man.
Thanks, Bill.
So Anna's a good liar, not like me.
But--but I still caught her, because she said "is" instead of "was.
" Stanton Parish isn't a dead writer.
- He's alive.
- Bill, please So I did another search, but not by name, by face, and that's-- that's the creepy part Bill was talking about.
There, he was a scientist in Russia for their M.
K.
Ultra program-- same face, same man.
So Stanton Parrish was a double agent.
No, no, no, Dr.
Rosen, it's a puzzle.
You have to look at all the pieces.
It's a metaphor.
Okay.
Okay.
Just-- Same face.
Stanton Parish.
Stanton Parish.
Stanton Parish.
Wait.
This is from the Civil War.
Yeah, it's old.
He was about Same guy 100 years later when he worked for M.
K.
Ultra.
Is this an Alpha who doesn't age? Anna says that he's dangerous.
She's scared of him, and Anna's not scared of anyone.
And there's this.
He wrote this-- the manifesto.
Bill says it's the Red Flag playbook.
An Alpha this powerful and we knew nothing about him? Well, that's why they were trying to erase our files-- to keep Parish hidden.
Meet the new boss Same as the old boss.
I got it.
The rubies-- I figured it out.
These may seem like junk, but this is laboratory-grown silicon, more densely organized than anything I have ever seen.
It is the perfect storage medium.
So I decided to Play around.
And then in this Inside the pendant, I discovered this.
- It's a jump drive.
- Voila.
- Gary, can you? - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll do this.
There.
Wait a minute.
That's--that's encoded data, right? So, Gary, isn't that Anna's language? Yeah, that's what Anna does.
She sends messages.
Like the D.
O.
T.
numbers on the truck they blew up, the order to assassinate Dr.
Rosen No, no, she regrets that.
She said that that's regrettable.
We'll argue about that later, okay? Can you translate this? Yeah.
Those are GPS coordinates.
Yeah, it leads to Highland Mills.
That's not far from here-- It's a map.
Directions.
No, no, it's an invitation.
You see right here? There's a time, 7:00 a.
m.
, like Sullivan said, tomorrow morning.
All right, so that's a time and date for a meeting.
- What's that underneath? - That part's sneaky.
It's even sneakier than Anna's code.
So, what'd I steal? Oh, okay, no, no, no.
I've got it.
It's a quote-- here, at the bottom.
"We are not the problem.
We are the solution.
" It's from that book, A Call to Change.
It's more than a quote, Gary.
It's a signature from the leader of Red Flag, Stanton Parish.
He's called this meeting.
We confirmed the intel you gave us.
Nice work on that.
The target--an old abandoned brick factory.
We're bringing in tactical teams, special equipment, everything we can throw at them.
You're positive this supposed leader of theirs is going to be there? Well, he called the meeting.
I suppose he'll be there.
And Anna's gonna be there, too.
And you can't hurt her.
She--she's my friend.
And she can't protect herself.
Our first move will be tear gas and nonlethal weapons.
But let me be clear.
These terrorists will be neutralized.
Yes, Senator? Gary, maybe you should go home.
No, I'm not going home.
Anna's gonna be there, and I'm gonna be there.
I'm part of the team.
Okay, well, I'll join in with tactical, do what I can.
And, uh, I'll protect Anna if it's possible.
Doc, you'll stay outside and coordinate with Rachel and Gary.
I'm gonna go in with Hicks and Nina.
Bill, you can go in, but only as an agent.
It's too early to put that kind of stress on your heart.
This is Red Flag versus us.
This is endgame.
I'm in.
Here you go, Doc.
It's time.
Hey.
Hey.
These guys you're going after-- is it their fault that Will's dead? Yes, I believe it is.
Then I hope you get all of 'em.
Rosy future Something someone once said that I wanted.
And he wasn't wrong.
What would that even look like? Dani You were right.
About the tea.
I knew about your ability.
And so I used it.
I used you to try to save a marriage that I'd already ruined.
I-I-I don't know what you expect me to say, Dad.
I don't expect you to say anything.
You don't have to.
I just wanted you to hear it.
No, I'm not coming home tonight, Mom.
II can't tell you.
But my friends need my help All of my friends.
Yeah, I love you, too, Mom.
Mom, please, don't cry.
Listen, Bill's gonna protect me.
He's my partner, he--he's very strong.
One time he pushed me over, which was better than taking a bullet.
I said don't cry.
Come on, time to saddle up.
Let's go.
Anna's here-- two bodyguards.
That makes over Gary says that's the last car heading this way, as far as he can tell.
We have to hurry.
Dr.
Ro-- Dr.
Rosen.
Dr.
Rosen, you should let me go and talk to-- you should let me go and talk to Anna, 'cause I could get them to surrender.
I always get people to do what I want to do, 'cause I-I wear them down.
Yeah, you do that, Gary.
Gary, this is a very dangerous situation.
If you want to be here, you have to do exactly as you're told.
Yep.
You look like you belong here.
Once a marine I thought you hated the Marines.
It's kind of a love-hate.
Look, if anything happens to me Don't say it.
It's bad luck.
Still no sign of Parish? Nothing-- he never showed and neither have about another dozen Red Flag leaders.
From what I can hear inside, they are not happy about it.
I don't get it.
He calls the meeting.
He doesn't show? It doesn't make sense.
He should-- - it's starting.
What are they saying? Hiding like this is only making things worse.
You don't get to decide that.
Let her talk! They're talking about going public.
Going public? Telling the world the truth about Alphas.
Remember, stick with your teams, watch your fields of fire, and give the gas time to work.
No one advances until I say so.
Agent Sullivan, Kathy.
Wait, wait, we--we can't do this.
Put some socks on, Lee, your feet are getting cold.
No, will you bear with me just--just for a moment? The day before this meeting was supposed to happen, a Red Flag assassin leads us right to my daughter, who is carrying an invitation, which my team decodes just in time for us to be here.
Now, what does that sound like to you? A setup.
So you think we're walking into an ambush.
No, I think we are the ambush.
Stanton Parish gathered these people here.
He tips us off to their location just so that we'll do exactly what we're doing.
Why would Stanton Parish betray Red Flag? According to you, it's his organization.
Because Rachel just heard the people inside talking.
They're talking about coming out of the dark, revealing their secrets.
- Going public? - Yes.
Well, then it's a good thing we're here, Lee.
No, Kathy, and I am betting that's exactly what Stanton Parish wants you to feel.
You're playing right into his hands.
You are betting, you think.
A week ago, you didn't even know that Stanton Parish existed.
And now apparently you're in his head.
I don't have time for your theories, Lee.
Do the people in that building belong to a terrorist organization? It's not that simple.
Really? Because I think it's a yes or no question.
Are they Red Flag or not? All right, I'm not saying that they're all innocent-- Well, good.
Then you haven't lost your mind altogether.
Go! Get into your positions now! Oh, Rachel, this is a mistake.
This is a big mistake.
Team one in position.
Team two on the move.
You're wearing a mask.
You can't push anyone.
- You should hang back.
- I'll be okay.
Team two in position.
Ready on your go, command.
Release the gas.
Federal agents.
Surrender and no one will get hurt.
Get out! Run! Command, team leader-- rounding up suspects.
No, no.
No! No! - Dr.
Rosen-- - Gary! Gary! Gary, no! Rachel, stay here.
Stay here.
Gary! Anna! Anna, I'm coming! You're like me.
Better.
Gary! Gary! Whoa! Whoa! Ah! No, no! Gary.
Gary! Sleep.
Gary! Wait, Gary.
Man down! Man down! Permission to open fire? Copy that.
Return fire is authorized.
Return fire is authorized.
Fire at will.
Anna! Anna! Anna? Anna! Ah! Ah! Anna! Anna! Anna.
Anna, it's okay.
Anna, come on.
I'll help carry you.
Anna Anna, come on, I'll-- Anna.
Anna.
Anna, come on.
Anna, get-- don't--no! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! He's one of us.
Gary, Gary.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Anna! People died.
Anna died.
And she shouldn't be dead.
And it--if I-- if I had a gas mask, I probably could have saved her.
Gary, you don't know that.
Yeah, well, you don't know either--nobody knows.
And Dr.
Rosen-- he doesn't know.
See, he pretends to know everything, but he doesn't.
I don't know if I can keep doing this.
I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way.
No, she's not.
We don't know what we're doing.
And I'm not sure if we ever did.
And right now there is no "this.
" No, Cameron, you're wrong.
This is a team.
And that hasn't changed.
What you've done you've done for the right reasons, under circumstances that sometimes were beyond even our control.
You followed your instincts.
You followed your hearts.
You have nothing to be ashamed of.
We have to stand on that.
Yeah, but What about the fact that every time we-- Lee.
Sorry, excuse me.
Could I talk to you for a minute? Yeah.
Is this where you explain all about clouds and silver linings? Not me.
Hey This is still a win, Lee.
A win for who-- us or Stanton Parish? If Parish exists, we'll get him.
So you have whatever resources you need.
Money, equipment-- it's yours.
You want another Alpha on your team? Pick one.
Pick five.
How would your daughter like a job? Can we please not talk about my daughter? Fair enough.
Look, I know you're not able to see it right now, but the raid on Highland Mills was a success.
It crippled Red Flag.
We caught terrorists.
We stopped this Alpha situation from being blown wide open.
And that is a huge victory for you and your team.
Thank you.
And if you need proof, the powers that be would like your input on how to move forward.
Closed-door session in D.
C.
a week from today.
We look forward to your thoughts.
They're calling it a success, this raid, but I'm not so sure, which is par for the course these days.
You know, when I was little, I, uh--well, I thought you knew more about everything than anyone else in the world.
And, um, I guess now I see that you don't know all the answers to the questions, and sometimes you don't even know the questions.
Well, I guess that's part of growing up-- realizing that your parents have feet of clay.
Yeah, well, to tell you the truth, I like you better this way.
Dani, what you've been through-- what I've put you through-- it must have been incredibly painful.
You can't even imagine, Dad.
No, I can't.
You know, I tend to intellectualize everything, approach everything from an analytical standpoint, but, um You're not my patient.
You're my daughter.
I never really understood emotionally what it felt to-- to be you.
So, Danielle I want you to do your thing.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I want to know.
I-- oh, I don't know what to say.
Then it worked.
Dr.
Rosen? I'm Stanton Parish.
Your daughter's fine.
Nothing to worry about.
I came alone.
So, tell me, doctor, how does it feel to be living your dreams? You've always wanted to be on the cutting edge, to make your mark in history.
You've achieved that.
By helping you purge Red Flag of everyone not in lockstep with your plans? You're upset about that.
Now, be honest.
Secrecy serves us all.
You want to protect your team.
Government wouldn't know what to do if this went public.
And for now I operate best in the dark.
Obviously not everyone in Red Flag agrees with you.
Hmm, troublemakers.
You and I-- we put an end to them.
That coldness, that complete lack of empathy-- it's just what I expected your downside to be.
So what else? You don't age.
You probably don't even get sick.
I doubt you even sleep.
Think beyond Alpha.
I have complete control of my mind-- perfect brain-body connection.
At the cost of your humanity.
I am humanity What humanity will become.
The future belongs to people like me, and certainly we can agree on that.
Hey, you can stop trying to manipulate me into feeling that we share an agenda, some kind of connection.
I'm every bit as good at that as you.
Oh, but we do have a connection.
That we both use people? But for completely different ends.
No, we don't share a damn thing.
You advocate bloodshed and war.
War It's inevitable, in two years, maybe three-- nothing that you or I can do to stop that.
You'll forgive me if I try.
You're wasting your talents, Lee.
You're so close to understanding it all.
The answers to the questions you've been asking ever since you realized that your daughter was different.
The biology of Alphas The great mystery of the human brain I can get you there.
And in return? I have so many plans on the verge of fruition.
You can help with that.
People die because of your plans.
I've helped you enough.
Think about it.
You'll come around.
When I first discovered the Alpha phenomenon, I was just a doctor treating a group of remarkable patients.
Since then, events have unfolded in ways that no one could have predicted, starting with the emergence of Red Flag.
Here, straight from Klauswerks.
Thanks, Gary.
Hey, and don't forget to shave, all right? - It is Congress, after all.
- Oh, Rachel.
Red Flag, is a radical Alpha organization which is willing to do anything, even commit murder, to advance its cause.
Cameron, Dani's at my house.
Will you look in on her from time to time? Yeah, I'll keep her safe.
Now, the government's response to their actions has been understandably swift and aggressive Good luck.
Come here.
Gathering intelligence, deploying tactical units, and even using my own covert team of Alphas.
But despite all efforts, the situation has become increasingly unstable, culminating with the incident at Highland Mills.
Those responsible for the group's violent ideology are still out there.
