Clarice (2021) s01e13 Episode Script

1
Previously on "Clarice"
Three women are dead.
They're in a clinical trial
for Reprisol.
All three had children
with birth defects.
I can't do my job.
Take a minute.
Do not quit.
If I stay, it'll kill me.
Everything glowing up there
is biological.
The sample from the painting --
fetal tissue.
From five separate fetuses.
They all had
different mothers,
but they all had
the same father -- Nils Hagen.
Conway's been trafficking women
for his father.
Hello?
Can I come up?
I need to talk to you.
My father.
He knew.
I can't live with this.
Please.
I need to help you.
Come on up.
Are you okay?
I'm not often
in women's apartments.
Ah.
Are you not an agent
anymore?
I don't know what I am.
Oh.
You went right for it,
didn't you?
I have to tell you
something.
Is it about your dad?
Yeah.
Give me the background
on Ty Conway.
We think he's trafficking women
for his father.
What points to that?
Ah, he's not
a typical rich kid.
I hate rich kids.
Why not?
Because he's clean.
Shoplifting 13 to 15
right after his mom died.
Then Nils takes him in.
Nothing after that.
The bean counters have been
all over Global Health Horizons.
You can eat off
the financials.
And he's got
no domestics,
no assaults,
none around solicitation.
He's not even
in Hagen's will.
And Julia says he doesn't even
stand to profit
-off the sale of Alastor.
Then why?
Because Clarice said
Tyson's whole self --
actions, non-actions --
are built around his father.
She could see the devotion
engulfing him, swallowing him.
And they connected.
She wanted
to help him.
Let's get eyes
on Starling now.
Ty, why are you here?
Because we saw
each other.
Maybe it's 'cause I saw
you were still holding on
to some things
about your father.
I remembered some things
about my father.
The truth about him.
Can you tell me?
I thought
he hung the moon.
He was the best man
I ever knew.
But he wasn't.
He was a criminal.
And a coward.
And he betrayed us.
I'm sorry.
I built my life
on him.
Now I think I have to choose
who I'm gonna be for myself.
The chain is broken,
but
Um, I have to choose too.
My father has
very deep beliefs.
He has a code.
I-I've internalized it
to some extent.
I want you to know
whatever happens next
I saw you.
No! No!
No!
Clarice?
Maybe she went to go
visit family.
She doesn't have
any family.
Clarice?
This is Rebecca Clark-Sherman's
phone number.
-The reporter?
-Were they in touch?
Hey.
What is it?
She wouldn't leave these,
not like this.
These are a signal.
Ty.
I heard a woman screaming.
What's going on?
Hello?
Was that you screaming?
Are you okay?
Hello?
There's power in the blood
In the precious blood
of the Lamb ♪
Hey.
Can you hear me?
Tell me your name.
Hey, answer me.
Raisa.
Raisa, okay.
Raisa, I'm an FBI agent.
I'm gonna get you out of here,
okay, but I need your help.
What happens here?
Hey, you answer me,
or I will leave you here.
I will.
The old man
gets us pregnant.
He tries to.
And he gives you drugs.
There are babies?
What happens to the babies?
None of the babies
have lived.
Miscarried or stillbirths.
At first,
you don't want them.
Then you do.
And then they die.
Is it from the drugs?
No.
We think he has
a genetic disorder.
Tala thought maybe
gonadal mosaicism.
He had one miracle son.
He wants another.
Raisa,
you talk like a doctor.
We are all med students.
Oh, my God.
Global Health Horizons.
Tyson.
Tyson brought you here.
Demon.
We are here
to get pregnant.
And afterward,
the machine.
Dad!
Dad, where's Tala?
You rendered her?
I thought we were
moving the girls.
No, no.
Disposal.
I have a cleaning crew
coming.
Bleach and steam.
Why not burn?
We are in the middle
of a sale.
Steam will do it.
DNA breaks down
at 400 degrees.
I've had to start over
before.
We'll be fine.
Did you --
She's here.
I-I wouldn't have
brought her
-if I knew we were cleaning.
-I know, son.
Bring her to the den.
Stop worrying!
Any word?
Where's Esquivel?
Oh, he said he had a lead.
What lead?
Guy he served with.
He said he was going alone
and that I can back off
and continue my march
towards obsolescence.
Tripathi's trying to run down
Rebecca Clark-Sherman.
You okay?
Herman wants me
at my desk.
And if I continue working
with ViCAP,
I'll be written up
to the SAC
with recommendation
for termination.
Maybe you should be
at your desk.
Maybe Herman should blow it
out his ass.
Sir.
What's our next move?
I knew one day
I'd get you in here.
You look good,
Esquivel.
Even in that suit.
I'm not looking to be
in some millionaire's
private army, Reggie.
I'm just trying to track down
a couple buddies.
How about you show me
a subpoena?
Look, man,
I'm not here as a cop.
Why don't you help
a brother out?
We're all Special Forces
here.
And you're the only one
not making any money off it.
You know, I could have you
clearing six figures.
What's stopping you?
The Constitution.
Oh. Okay.
Well, uh, discretion's
part of the deal here
brother.
Sharpshooter.
Pow!
15K.
Knock it off.
Pow! 25K.
Keep pointing that at me
and I'm gonna think you're
threatening a federal agent.
Pow. 35K.
Aah! Aah.
Aah!
Karl Wellig.
And this guy.
Locations.
They work
for Nils Hagen.
I want a location.
Man has more
than one place!
Aah!
And you are a dead man.
I'll die smarter.
Locations.
Aaah!
I can open my door.
I know.
We all can.
Annika tried.
They put her in machine.
You don't understand.
I do.
Rancher leaves
the pens open
'cause what's inside
is too scared to run.
They knew if they were
in the pen,
they were still alive.
But they all ended up
dead anyway.
What if they got angry?
What if they all ran
at once?
Some would be caught.
And some would get away.
Some would get away.
Raisa, I'm gonna make
a chance for you.
You'll know it
when it comes.
And when it comes,
you will be one of the ones
who gets away.
Okay?
Let's go.
Rebecca Clark-Sherman
had done a pretty deep dive
on Nils Hagen.
Here's what she found.
Emigrated from Norway.
His father, Fredrik Hagen,
was a chemist
who worked for the Germans
at the start of World War I,
developing weaponized
chlorine gas.
I'm gonna shoot
the whole family.
Nils' brother Agust died of
a respiratory infection in 1914.
That boy is not alive.
A family portrait
with a dead child?
Yeah, Death Portraits were
all the rage for a while.
Memento Mori.
Everybody's got their rituals.
How does any of this
get to where Hagen is now?
I might have that.
It's an address
in Ivy City.
An animal research
facility.
It's a rendering machine.
Ty,
is this where I'm going?
He'll be here
any minute.
You've devoted yourself
to this?
Shh. Okay?
Ah.
Hello again, Agent.
You have
caused
trouble.
I'd say
that's on you, sir.
You ordered the murders
of three women
to hide a fraudulent
clinical trial.
No, no.
That was business.
Reprisol is good
for business.
Those women
They were bad
for Reprisol.
Then why the pretend
serial killers?
The fake suicides?
People believe stories.
They buy into myths.
But I caught you.
Sorry?
Who is caught?
Well, you got me there.
Tyson.
I love you.
But I have never had cause
to worry about you until this.
You opened a door
for her.
And it is hard for me to tell
if you did it by accident.
I never would -- I --
No, I wouldn't.
Shhhh.
Families.
Love can blind you.
The Greeks
really got it.
This girl is here
for you to kill
so you can prove
that you are here
for me.
You said I wouldn't
have to choose.
I said
you didn't have to.
Now I am saying
you do.
I've always chosen you.
No, son.
I chose you.
I found you.
You were alone,
motherless.
About to disappear
in this world.
In that moment,
I became a father.
And I am so grateful.
I am so grateful
for that.
It's all I ever wanted.
Show me it is family
that you want.
The decision
should not take
so long!
Not like yours.
So what was
your hard choice?
I bet he doesn't know.
I bet that's why
he's hesitating.
You should know.
Yes, please.
I want to.
It's been closed
since '89.
Animal testing facility,
but Alastor still owns it.
And we think
Agent Starling's in there why?
We obtained the address
from the security firm
that Wellig and Diaz
worked for.
We clocked an Alastor security
guard here
about an hour ago.
Infrared shows
six people inside.
-May even be more.
-You have a warrant?
We have
exigent circumstances.
My agent might be in there.
What's the AG say?
Let's find out.
I'm calling for
an independent investigation,
a special prosecutor --
Can you give it
a rest, Llewellyn?
You tend to spit across the desk
when you pontificate.
You should not be
in this office.
Just step down.
Focus on your girl.
I know she's gone off the rails,
and that's stressful,
and I sympathize.
But let's face facts.
The toll is too much.
Llewellyn.
How much campaign PAC money
have you taken
that can be traced back
to Nils Hagen?
That is a can of worms
you don't want to open.
Oh, but I do.
Sorry. Paul Krendler.
Says it's urgent.
Paul.
Ruth, I've got
a SWAT team ready to roll
on the building
where we think Starling is --
I have Llewellyn Gant
here.
He's almost
peeing himself with joy,
telling me that
one of our agents
hospitalized a private businessman
to compel information
that you're moving on.
That's, uh, unconfirmed,
ma'am.
Well, I don't want to lose
the Alastor case
because of an illegal entry
or an out-of-control agent.
Wait for the warrant.
Starling's in there,
ma'am.
What did you wait for
when you wanted
your daughter back?
And who went and got her?
Every time?
Do you have
probable cause?
We do.
Hit it.
We go.
My team, with me.
Tripathi, Clarke,
cover the side exits.
Make sure they don't escape
with Starling.
Esquivel, what the hell?
I didn't have
any other play.
You have to find one.
Or if this is
who you're gonna be,
you can go find yourself
another team.
My father
pickled.
His hobby.
Pears.
Vegetables.
Beautiful glass jars
in the basement.
When I was a boy,
I found him weeping there.
His foreman had ordered
all the workers
with more than one child
to bring one to work
the next day.
They were testing
children's gas masks.
Watch out
for friendlies inside.
Wait for the command.
Time to lock and load.
He, of course,
knew it could be fatal.
My little brother, Agust,
was born
with what we now call
a genetic malformation.
Back then,
he was a "cripple."
Withered legs.
Agust was sweet.
Funny.
My father loved him.
He could not choose.
He made you do it.
I became myself then.
I was conceived
in that moment.
I was wondering why the Cronos
myth felt almost perfect.
You want to be the father
who devoured,
but you are
the frightened child
waiting for his turn
to be eaten.
I-I'll choose!
I'll choose.
Why is it always
one more step?
One more test?
'Cause he will always be
the child, Ty.
He wants to rewrite
what's already been written.
That's how this works.
I'll never be enough.
No, never.
Tyson, stop this.
You want me to choose?
Here's my choice.
You can keep Clarice.
Like you said,
she's smart.
She's strong.
Maybe she can give you
another child.
Hmm.
Breacher up.
Hit it!
Fire in the hole!
Someone's coming.
-We got to get out.
-The children.
Clear!
Front room clear!
Who are the children, Ty?
Where are they?
Sir, they've entered the east
side of the building.
SWAT's in.
We got movement out front.
Agent out front,
watch your crossfire,
watch your crossfire.
Cleanup's over.
This is a bug-out.
What about the children?
-Dad, forget the children.
-We don't have time!
My guys have cleared a path
out the west door.
They'll create a distraction.
Cars will -
I will decide
when the game changes.
Dad.
We are not leaving
the children.
Clear!
Tyson, what are these?
Meet my children.
Oh.
It must've killed you to learn
that every time you try
to have a child,
it just goes wrong.
Tyson, give me the gun.
Withered,
like your brother, Agust.
Hunting you on his little
shriveled legs.
Was it just that you wanted
two sons that could live?
Pit them against each other
like you were?
And this is why you created
an empire of chemicals
to control birth
and death,
to give these women
a cocktail of drugs
to fix
your genetic failures?
She's a lying whore,
like your mother.
Your mother?
Your mother was one
of these girls, Ty.
She escaped,
like Karolina.
She deceived me
and stole you.
And I found you, Tyson.
Cronos' wife
brought Cronos down.
Oh, no wonder he needs you to
show your loyalty so badly.
She deserves no loyalty.
She abandoned you.
How did he know
to find you?
Right after your mother died
of a "sudden lung infection."
Kill her
or give me the gun!
Nils found you long before
your mother died.
Nils the chemist.
Nils the killer.
He killed your mother,
Ty.
Aaah!
FBI!
-Aaaah!
-FBI! Stop!
-Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Raisa, please stop!
-They're the police!
-It's okay. You're okay.
-They're the police!
-You're okay. You're okay.
-You're gonna get out.
-You stay with them.
I'll go.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Freeze! FBI!
Step back.
Step back for me, okay?
We clear?
Krendler!
Agent Krendler.
Your mother lied
just like she does.
She protected you.
She stole you from me!
She raised you!
She loved you until he came
and he killed her and took you.
Kill her, Tyson.
He groomed you, bent you.
Do it now, son.
Stop this.
See? He's got you in
a little jar, too, Ty.
Poisoned, twisted.
You're practically
his twin.
It went under your vest.
Get them out of here.
Your lung's ruptured.
I need to hold pressure, okay?
Get the women out.
Find Starling.
Call.
We have a man down.
-Who's down?
-Any sign of Starling?
--ler's shot.
He's down.
Repeat.
Say again?
Repeat -- Krendler is down.
Send medics.
We don't have an all-
clear there. It's still hot.
Send a medic in!
Krendler needs a medic.
I'm sending
three hostages out.
Negative, Mapp.
Exit is not clear.
I repeat --
exit is not clear.
Copy.
Clarke, Tripathi, you have
a hostile heading right for you.
Sit tight.
Go.
You're all clear.
I-I still have
two bullets.
I know.
Is there a chance?
For me?
Ty, you didn't come into
the world like this.
But everyone's handed
a burden,
and you couldn't
put yours down.
Abduction.
Serial rape.
Serial murder.
And that's yours
to carry.
Always.
Can you live with that?
But you saw me, right?
No.
You were
in my blind spot.
But I see you now.
Clarice.
Gunshot wound through
the diaphragm into the lung.
Call ahead to the E.R.
Have a trauma team on standby
and an O.R. ready.
The damage
was extensive.
We repaired what we could,
but he's in critical condition.
The next 12 hours
will be crucial.
This week on "Newsline" --
a stunning revelation
in Washington, D.C.,
brings a shocking conclusion
to the brutal
River Murders case.
The FBI has definitive proof
that the CEO of Alastor
Pharmaceuticals, Nils Hagen,
hired a contract killer
to assassinate three women
who experienced
devastating side effects
when they participated
in a clinical trial
for the Alastor
migraine drug Reprisol.
These women planned
to come forward
and speak out when their lives
were tragically cut short.
Here to tell us her story
is award-winning journalist
Rebecca Clark-Sherman.
If Angela Bird,
Tess Laughty,
and Sandra Bishop
hadn't come forward,
Reprisol would still
be being prescribed.
And millions of women would
be going through the heartache
and the devastation
of pregnancy complications,
from miscarriages
to birth defects.
Angela, Tess, and Sandra
deserve to be remembered
as heroes.
I ran on a message
of fighting a war
against the monsters among us.
I will never again forget
to support
the survivors among us.
My office was able
to stop Nils Hagen
and Alastor Pharmaceutical
from committing
heinous crimes
and destroying
more innocent lives.
But there are more
accomplices in this case.
Lawmakers who took
campaign money from Alastor
have actively conspired to delay
and obstruct this investigation.
Today, I'm appointing
a special prosecutor
to investigate
any such congresspeople,
beginning with Llewellyn Gant.
And myself.
Thank you.
Catherine?
I didn't think
you'd come.
I didn't think
you'd want me to.
I was in here before,
after Buffalo Bill.
No one visited me.
Not your mother?
One of the counselors told me
I wouldn't allow it.
I have no memory of that.
Bill really screwed
with my head.
Get out!
Get out!
I realized
she was protecting me.
It's too dangerous.
For you, for us.
You have to get out.
Are you okay?
I haven't seen my mother
since I was 10.
How come?
She sent me
away from home.
First to live
with relatives.
Then into an orphanage.
I have been mad at her
for so long.
She was just trying
to protect me.
I'm placing you
on administrative leave.
It's a damn shame,
Mapp.
I wish you could just
follow orders.
Your "Coalition's" complaint
is under review.
It's really
gaining momentum.
But you people,
you don't do yourselves
any favor with stuff like this.
At the Academy, they tell us
"an institution
is the lengthened shadow
of a single man.""The lengthened shadow
of a single man."
Yes, sir.
And you would certainly make
Director Hoover proud.
Well, Mapp, I --
You work so hard
to protect his institution.
I wonder if that's what bothers
you most about me.
That I'm more interested
in protecting the people.
Or is it just because
I'm Black?
What?
Uh,
I can't call you "Boss."
I don't -- I don't care
if you're acting whatever.
Don't.
I hate this crap.
I'm up to my briefs
in briefs.
What do you want?
I-I coerced a witness to get
the information on Starling.
The AG is not gonna
hang you on this.
You found Starling.
She's alive
because of you.
The SAC is never gonna hear
about this.
He already has.
I filed a full report.
Kid, what are --
what are you doing?
I made a choice, alright?
I made a choice,
and I'm living with it.
You been here
the whole time?
We took shifts.
Mostly Clarke.
We got 'em.
We got 'em.
That's the short version.
I can tell you everything,
but I think you should rest.
You quit the team.
I quit myself.
But I'd like to come back,
if you'll have me.
No.
I'm sitting you down.
Two weeks, minimum,
mandatory.
And if you -That --
That sounds good.
I'd like that.
Thank you, Sir.
I should get shot more.
Why are you denying me
this chance to own the radio
in that fancy car?
Well, alone is good.
You're so you.
What's this?
I had it fixed.
I know.
But it saved your life,
Clarice.
If I hadn't seen it,
I wouldn't have known
to find you.
So I added a bead
for that.
Our bead.
It's your old necklace.
But it's also new.
Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River
So you can wear it.
Or not.
But I think you should
hang on to it.
Younger than the mountains
We can't pretend the bad things
that happened to us
didn't happen.
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama, take me home
We can just try to turn them
into something beautiful.
Take me home, country roads
Hi, Mama.
