Road Trip

Darah! Natalie! Hi! Darah.
Darah.
Darah! Hey.
Darah! No! FEDERAL BUILDING LA, CA, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL EUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONAL HOMELAND SECURITY VETERANS SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS You don't want to back down,I get that.
But let's not look at it that way.
Let's look at it like you don't have a choice.
Where there are no options,there are no problems.
No! I don't want a balance transfer.
We've been over that,I don't want to go over that again.
I am looking at a letter right now from washington national offering that same rate with no annual fee and 5,000 free miles from crown air.
Now,I know we got to a pretty rocky relationship here, so if you don't want to back off of that rate, maybe I just need to close out the account.
Huh? Yeah,I'll hold.
Keeping your skill up? Just keeping my bills down.
Yeah,chris.
Okay,well,that's great.
I'm glad we could work that out,yes.
You're a fair and just man.
All right.
We should be corrupt.
We would be loaded if we were corrupt.
But then we wouldn't have the reward of earning it.
Is that why you play the lottery? I don't play,I dabble.
And that's just to tempt fate.
Tempting.
Hot ticket,guys.
- Barricade? - Abduction.
- Who? - 17-year-old girl,from across the street.
Across the street from? From across the street,ten minutes ago.
Locals are scrambling,witness is on her way up to see us now.
- Crazy hot ticket.
- Yeah,gets hotter.
Witness is saying she's the girl's sister.
Has identified the abductee as being darah keegan.
Keegan? As in warren keegan? So she says.
R-sims is pulling the surveillance videos from outside.
Talk to the sister.
We'll brief the task force in 20.
And you can stop following me now.
All right,warren keegan in los angeles,outside the federal building.
Shh.
He's right behind you.
He's gonna kill her,he's gonna kill her,and it's my fault.
All right,natalie,why don't you take a seat.
I should've waited on the other side.
Natalie,deep breath,okay? The fbi and the lapd are looking for your sister right now.
They don't know what darah looks like.
She doesn't have a license or a social security number.
We know what warren looks like.
But you said he wasn't there.
I didn't see him.
Did you see a vehicle? I told you,I saw the family.
They took her.
Okay,do you have some names that you can give us? Yes.
Gwen,hahna and ruth.
Keegan.
And all three are his wives,yes.
How long were you a member of warren's church? Don't you mean cult? It's okay,you can say it.
I've been through deprogramming.
I got out when I was when I was 15,right before he was gonna marry me.
I tried to take darah with me,but she was nine.
She wanted to stay with our mother.
Natalie,we've been after warren for a year.
So if you know where he is I don't know.
Okay? Darah would sneak off whenever she could and gve me a call, you know,five minutes here,five minutes there.
She couldn't tell me where she was 'cause she didn't know.
But you were the one who convinced her to run away,meet you here at the fbi? I tried to tell her about witness protection,but she wouldn't believe me.
Said the cops would only help her if she had something to give them,like a gift.
And then last week,she said that she found one.
- Found one what? - Proof.
That warren was planning something.
Something like? She couldn't say.
Just that it was something big.
I know,honey.
I know.
Life's changing so fast.
You're growing up.
You got a little scared.
I understand.
No one's going to hurt you.
I'm sorry,mommy.
I know.
I love you.
I know.
NO let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Now you've done it.
Please let me go! - It's all right,ruth.
Let her get her anger out.
- Let me go! darah's a fighter.
that's why I married her.
proudly presents Season 01 Episode 14 Take a good look,guys.
Warren keegan.
Top-tenner,armed and dangerous,and according to our latest intel planning something big.
When you say "armed," what kind of hardware are we talking about? M-16s,mini-14s,it's all here.
Atf tried to confiscate them in a botched raid six months ago.
Two agents got shot; he's been on the run ever since.
What are we gonna be up against? A god complex.
Keegan considers himself a prophet of the lord.
You know,god speaks through him.
I guess he won't be needing a bullhorn.
He started a church up in exeter,it's called the circle.
He had about 900 followers at one point.
Till he got himself his own personal harem and they kicked his ass out.
Who's running the circle now? Malcolm durst,used to be keegan's right-hand man.
- Durst? - Yeah.
Right there.
Well,they look like nice guys.
Mm,they always do.
Ma'am.
I got a line on keegan's vehicle.
She's got a line on keegan's vehicle.
All right,you've got your packets.
Work from those and run all of your tips through this floor.
Even if we do catch up with this guy,he's not going down without a fight.
That's why you talk him down.
Well,it's going to be hard to negotiate with someone whop thinks they're god.
What if we talk to somebody who knew him before he took the job? Who? Malcolm durst? Enemy of enemy is my friend? Or just another enemy.
Malcolm durst is smart enough to pay his taxes,but he doesn't believe in this government.
- He won't talk to you.
- Everybody talks to us.
Yeah,we're scintillating.
Fine.
Lia,call air-ops.
Get them to set up a chopper for these two.
Chopper yeah,you want to talk to malcolm durst,it's going to have to be face-to-face.
 He also doesn't believe in phones.
So - what do I got? - Yeah.
You've seen the shots from our building.
This is the video I snagged from the bank around the corner.
Ooh,holiday rambler.
That's the pride of the endeavor fleet.
Nice.
What? I know my rv'S.
I got to retire someday.
Can you get a plate number? Not from this angle.
But you can work some of your magic,right? I could start with the traffic cams in the vicinity, see if I can get a clear shot.
Good,let's put this on amber alert, and send out a bolo for the make and model.
Holiday rambler imperial.
No pop-out,so it looks like a '94.
Also,they reengineered the,uh,sun deck ladder, put it on the other side,you know? You don't know.
He told me to give you some food.
- You ought to try and - hahna,please.
Untie me.
- I can'T.
- Please! This isn't like him.
He isn't thinking straight.
Come on.
My wrists hurt.
Good.
You deserve it.
I don't know why he's wasting his time on you.
Maybe I don't deserve him.
But he's chosen you,and I don't question him.
Even though you're so ugly.
gwen.
That's enough,gwen.
Hahna.
Don't listen to her,sweetheart.
She's jealous.
Do you remember that house with the red trim? The one with the really big yard? Oh,you used to love it out there.
That big oak tree.
I thought you were part squirrel.
Warren,I don'T I know you took something from me.
Do you know what this means? Then why did you steal it? Go on,it's okay.
My,my sister sad story,your sister.
I wish I could have saved her.
But she's gone,darah.
She's going to burn forever.
Did we have to land a mile away? It's good cardio.
Also,I think dropping in on malcolm durst's compound in a black helicopter, not the best move.
Still beats walking.
True.
We could be traveling in the luxury of a holiday ranger.
Rambler.
That's what you're going to do,you're gonna pay off your credit cards so that you can buy a big rv and spend your golden years traveling around the country? What do you mean my golden years? Your golden years.
You don't want to travel when you retire? Yeah,but,like,venice,nepal you know,it's not all propane and port-a-potties.
These things got walk-in showers,they got waterbeds.
Yeah,depending on your option fbi! Drop it! Drop the gun! Drop yours.
Can't do it.
How 'bout we holster ours,you lower yours.
You got five seconds.
Malcolm durst? My name is emily lehman.
I don't care who you are.
Turn around,go back the way you came.
Can't do that with a gun at our backs.
Got a gun at your back right now.
Suppose we can talk our way out of this? I don't know,we talked our way into it.
You can track them through satellite tv? Uh,no.
It doesn't work like a gps.
I'm waiting for the "however.
" However,the dish always has to point south.
And if I know which way the dish is facing then you know which way they're heading.
I checked with the satellite company.
Oly 14 dishes were installed on this model rv in the L.
A.
Area.
And six are getting signals right now.
That's them.
The religious broadcast.
Yeah.
Where are they? Based on the dish orientation,they're heading north,so the 5,the 405.
Or the 101.
Can you access the freeway cameras? Caltrans coming up.
Look,we're not here to serve any warrants or make any arrests.
Mr.
Durst,we just want to talk.
That's what we do.
We're fbi negotiators.
All right,we're not tax auditors,we're not carrying tear gas,okay? And there's just the two of us.
Although,other people know we're here.
She makes an excellent point.
Negotiators? There's nothing to negotiate here.
We ain't holding anybody hostage.
Okay,but warren keegan is.
Warren is still alive? Yeah,he kidnapped a young girl.
He's traveling,we think,with three other women,all of them against their will.
So he's got four brides.
Yeah,four.
Warren claimed a man needed four wives to ascend to heaven.
Well,it's a good round number.
Yeah,warren's real bright that way.
We've heard he's planning something big.
What do you know about that? ****** I love you,darah.
If I forget to tell you that sometimes I'm sorry.
We're gonna get to paradise because of you.
Not long after he started preaching he was god, he started stockpiling illegal automatics.
Said he had to prepare for the apocalypse.
Huh.
Apocalypse.
Think that qualifies as something big.
Yeah,according to warren,the world has to end before heaven can begin.
yeah? We found him-- heading north on the Chp's moving in to surround.
Okay,he's responding.
He's pulling off the exit.
No telling how this is going to play out so get back here now.
We'll be right there.
Warren's accepting the escort.
Maybe he'll just surrender.
What do we do? What we trained for.
be advised subjects are armed and we're losing visual.
We're the enemy,all of us.
We're the empties.
Warren used to say,"people on the outside got nothing on the inside.
" Now,"empties," is that a phrase that your mother would recognize,too? Frank's telling me that all the mrs.
Keegan's are heavily armed.
I feel sorry for them.
We don't have to save them,just get them to let us go.
They got an army.
A whole army.
They're gonna kill us.
Warren will protect us.
We're gonna win.
They're gonna kill all of us now! No,no,no,no.
We're gonna make it.
We're gonna get there,just you wait,sweetie.
Just you wait.
Durst says warren's waiting for the apocalypse.
So if we come at him too hard,we're gonna play right into that.
And then we become the apocalypse.
On live tv.
I could have my guys reduce their visual presence.
Make the family feel more at home.
- At home,but surrounded.
- Absolutely.
Do it.
Okay,so no more apocalypse.
Do we have an angle past that? I think our best bet is twork one of the women.
According to durst,they're his ticket to heaven, so none of them is actually under direct threat.
They're his wives,not his hostages.
That depends on your definition of marriage.
I heard that.
He's gonna love you.
It's not gonna matter what I say.
Okay,I've got this separate citizen's band.
Why don't you try to get to him on his in-dash cb? How do you know he has one? You know what? Don't answer that.
Warren keegan,my name is emily.
I'm with the fbi.
I've got a cb radio out here tuned to channel 17.
Look,I'm not gonna stand here and quote scripture, but I will say this: We are not the empties,okay? We do have something on the inside.
We just want everyone to be safe.
Now I want you to peek outside your window and I'm gonna prove it to you.
All units except cr-1,give peace a chance.
Warren,did you see that? Did you see? If you really want us to be safe,then move away.
Let us go on with our lives.
Whose lives? Does everyone inside feel the same way you do? My strength is their strength,and it's greater than yours.
Okay,look,I don't want to turn this into a contest.
But I've already shown that we don't want to hurt you or your family.
You think you can lure me to the rocks? You sound like a shrieking city whore.
Okay okay,you know,I'm the only one out here who's willing to talk to you,warren.
You don't get to call me by my I'm not talking to this.
My husband has said his peace,now go and do as he says.
Is that what you do,ruth? Nobody's being held against their will here except for us.
Prove it.
I want to talk to your daughter.
I want to talk to darah.
Ruth? She's not talking.
Ruth? I can't trump all that brainwashing in one exchange.
Maybe if we had some help.
hahna.
Mom? Mom,is that,is that you? Mom,it's me,nat it's rivka.
Mom,please,I just,I just want to talk about all the things we never got to say to each other.
Go on,ruth.
Go on.
Mom,please,I there are things that need to be said.
- What do you got? - Now she has the plates.
Stolen? No,I spoke to the owner.
Gabriel cruz,father of two,lives over near tujunga.
Says he loaned his rv to his neighbor across the street named martin walker.
One of warren's aliases.
Did the neighbor mention where they were headed? Camping trip.
That's it.
Okay,have them stay home just in case matt has more questions.
Try to scarf up some intel we can use.
It's about ten minutes away.
Be there in five.
What do you want? Keep it positive.
I want to be with you,mom.
I really do,buthings would have to change.
Find a positive memory.
They'd have to,uh,be like they were before when it was just the three of us.
When it was just you,me and darah.
That rv reminds me of that van we used to have.
Remember that? The one we used to take up to that ghost town up in the sierras? I watched you and darah play in there for hours.
I'll never forget that but you should.
What? You don't deserve those memories.
You left this family behind.
Mama,no now you're trying to tear us apart.
No,mama,listen,I'm not that's why you're trying to take darah.
No,she was afraid.
No,darah's strong.
She's brave.
You're the weak one.
You're the coward.
Mama I want to talk to that fbi girl.
Put her on.
Mama,please.
You don't exist anymore.
Ruth,this is emily.
Listen to me.
Listen,you are destroying a family.
That is not what I want.
You're killing us and we have done nothing wrong.
Fbi.
Anybody home? Do you trust me? I do.
I do,but I'm scared.
I haven't even told you what I want you to do yet.
Don'T.
Tell me.
I'll do it.
That's why I love you the best.
All teams,armed subject exiting.
Drop your weapon! Drop it now! Why won't you listen? We just want to live our lives.
And you can do that,gwen.
Yeah,but you got to drop the rifle.
All clear.
Yeah,it's definitely a rental.
I don't even think the furniture's his.
Get the bolt cutters.
Get her to stand down.
Okay,well,it's not going to be easy,okay?She's a true believer.
She's not following our commands.
Just keep an eye on her,frank.
That's why he sent her out here.
Well,that,and because he knew we wouldn't kill her on live tv.
She is still advancing.
We have struck out with everyone in there except one.
Hahna.
Hahna,I know you can hear me.
Hahna,you have to do something.
Hahna,don't let this happen.
Okay,you need to do something.
Gwen needs you.
Hahna,no! Come back,gwen,come back! - Let us go! - Drop it now! - Gwen,drop the rifle! - Frank,you have full authorization.
Drop your weapon! Gwen! tango down.
Don't open that! What the hell are you doing? - I thought it was gonna - thought it was gonna what? I want tear gas deployed into that rv, and I want a fast response team to take warren keegan out.
I am not waiting for another woman to martyr herself in his name.
Agreed.
- Cheryl,I've got matt.
- Tell him to wait.
It's important.
Patching him in.
What is it? The rv is rigged to blow.
- What? - Ammonium nitrate.
Like oklahoma city,maybe bigger.
I can't let them drive out of here.
No,we're gonna have to; I mean,these buildings are packed.
If that bomb goes off all right,I get it.
At least we know what he meant by apocalypse.
******* All right,we let them drive out,but we don't let them go.
We just get them away from the city.
Do I tell him we know about the bomb? The question is: Do they know about it? she lives onwith you.
Warren,I want you to listen to me.
Warren,we've been to your house,so we understand just how fragile this situation is.
We want you to get back on the freeway.
It's a half a mile up the road.
If you deviate from that path,we will be forced to blow out your tires and stop you.
Flash your lights if you understand.
Please let me go.
I can't do this without you.
That's why I love you the best.
looked like the explosives are in the undercarriage compartment.
Four tanks.
Detonator? Uh,hardwired to the engine although the auxiliary battery might be used as a trigger.
You "think," and he "might be.
" I didn't exactly have a chance to memorize the plans before they blew up.
Our problem's not the how.
Okay,look,h-he could have threatened to detonate this thing at any time.
Well,it's a huge bargaining chip.
Why hasn't he used it? Maybe it's not meant for us.
All right,if the bomb's not meant for us,then who? What about them? What if warren wants to kill himself and darah and everyone? Yeah,I think he would have done that by now.
Can't we just stop them? That psycho gets even the slightest whiff of an ambush,he will detonate.
Gwen opened fire,frank.
All right,the R.
O.
E.
S were clear.
I know.
You made the right call,frank.
I know.
He sent her out there to die.
I'm sorry.
They're still following us.
That's all they can do.
- But why did they let us go? - Oh,don't worry about it.
Everything's going to be fine.
- Everything's ruined.
- Nobaby.
But you said you needed four of us by your side.
To hold your hand when you walked into paradise.
But she's gone.
Gwen's gone.
No,she's not gone,she's just walking on ahead of us.
But you said there had to be four.
Three on earth and one protecting us from above,amen.
- But - I'm hungry.
How about a,a sandwich or some chips or something,huh? good girl.
Where the hell's this guy going? There's no federal building for miles.
What about vegas?Sin city.
Sodom and gomorrah.
Wrong direction.
Maybe he's gonna hit the aqueduct or another piece of infrastructure.
Could put out a general alert to all possible sites.
Start with a hundred-mile radius.
Swin in the dark.
No,if we're gonna stop this guy,we have to do it before he reaches the target.
Wait,those rvs get what,like,nine miles to the gallon? No,no,no,no,more like 11.
Depends on what he's got on board.
And the tires have a lot to do with it,too,ifwhat? I'm just saying that he had the pedal to the floor for at least an hour.
So there's no way that he can get through this next stretch of road without making a pit stop.
Yeah,lia,let's see what we can find.
Sat maps are coming onlinenow.
I miss gwen.
She was so strong,the way she stood up for us.
Now you'll be the strong one.
I can'T.
It's not the same without gwen.
Warren keeps saying that it is,but it's not.
It's not.
Hahna,listen.
You're not my mother.
Don't talk to me like you're my mother.
We're still a family.
That's all that matters.
Let's pray.
There's a "last chance" station coming up,the next one's not for another 75 miles.
- He's got to stop.
- All right,let's chopper ahead.
We have frank and his boys waiting for him.
Best-case scenario: Keegan comes out by himself,you guys take him out.
You know,I think he screwed himself.
What's that? Well,durst said he's got to have four wives.
He's down to three now.
Okay,then,why doesn't he seem to care? Maybe it's not about finding a way to heaven.
Lia,where's the next transition road? Okay,once you hit tulare,the Then it's a straight shot to exeter.
- Exeter.
- He's going back to the original compound.
The bastd who stole his flock.
This bomb is a love letter to malcolm durst.
So he is not waiting for the apocalypse.
No,he's going to make it happen.
What if the family doesn't agree? All right,we get to somebody in the rv and then we can turn the weak link.
Hahna's got to be pretty scared right now.
What about your mother?Would she help? No.
No,she would never betray warren.
- But if she knew what was going on - don't tell her.
She'll ruin everything.
Okay,I get that she hurt you,but right now,it's time to let bygones this isn't about me.
My father,darah's father,he ran out on us.
We were on our own for a long time.
W-we were lost.
So warren did save you.
He came along when mom was hitting bottom.
He is her whole life.
He's everything to her.
All right,so it's got to be hahna.
But,mean,what are we saying? That we want her to stop the vehicle? No.
We tell her about the bomb.
Maybe she can find it,do some recon.
All right,well,we have to do it without warren knowing.
We got one last chance coming up.
- How you doing? - You got a bathroom here? Fbi,if you can hear me,and I know you can,we're going to be making a quick stop.
Oh,and if anyone gets within 300 yards,things are going to get a lot more complicated.
Frank? Sierra one in position.
Keegan's still the primary target,so if you get a clear shot I hope he pumps the gas himself.
Just remember,gasoline and homemade bombs do not react well to bullets.
I won't miss.
****** ******* Holy man's staying out of sight.
Lehman,you and flannery are up.
Pump two.
That's a nice rig.
Where y'all headed? Nowhere.
Hahna how do you know? - Who are you? - We're with the fbi,all right? We want to help,but we need you to do something.
That rv So that's gonna about do it for you? Looks like you got all the food groups covered.
Except for that one.
That's great with peanut butter.
it's also chock full of good stuff.
The kind that could actually save your life.
thank you.
Come on,hahna.
Hahna's afraid to bring you these.
Thought you were mad at her.
You know how she gets.
Gwen was never like that.
You miss her? More than you'll ever know.
Hahna.
I shouldn't be talking to you.
Okay,it's okay,I just want you to listen.
You're going to tell me bad things about warren.
He just gets mad sometimes.
He's a good man.
Is that why he let gwedie? She was trying to save us.
No,you tried to save her.
Okay,you know what warren did was wrong.
He sacrificed gwen to save himself.
Do not let him make an even bigger sacrifice.
He's not gonna hurt anybody else.
That's not true,and I can prove it to you.
What do you mean? Hahna,go outside the bathroom door,there's a grate in the floor.
How could you be so stupid? I'm sorry! Ahna,can you hear me? Hahna,say something.
We're ten miles out.
We got to warn durst,have him get his people out of there.
We already tried.
Durst isn't going anywhere.
Wait,what?Why? He told our agents onsite he was going to stay and protect his land.
He said god gave him that right.
What,to blow up? Guess I skipped that week in sunday school.
Lia,get me our liaison at air national guard.
Have them scramble a blackhawk.
Ll missile package.
We're gonna save durst's life whether he wants us to or not.
What are you doing? What,you're going to blow it up?! - Wait in the conference room.
- You're gonna blow it up?! What about my sister? What about my sister?! I'm sorry.
I was trying to be strong.
Like you said.
I was trying to save us.
We don't need saving.
Please!Don't tell him.
Please Hahna.
This is all your fault.
Ruthlisten to me.
Leave us alone.
We just want to go home.
I know,but you're not going home.
He'She ruth,the rv is rigged to blow.
He's wired it with a bomb.
What? I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to be the one you're lying.
No,no,I wish I were.
That's the reason we haven't forced you to stop.
Warren would never do something like that.
Look,he's going to exeter.
He's going to destroy malcolm's church.
It's not malcolm's church.
It is,and warren can't handle that.
He can't stand knowing that something built is being taken away from him.
You know that,ruth.
You know him better than anyone.
I know he loves me.
The way he loved gwen? Gwen was a sacrifice.
And what happens when he asks darah or hahna to do the same? Ruth? Breaker one-seven,breaker one-seven.
Hey,warren,can you hear me? Listen,I got some bad news for you.
Your buddy malcolm has,uh,he's long gone.
Second he heard about your little road trip,he packed up his wife shelley, they got the hell out of exeter.
So blowing yourself up now is a big waste of time and a fine recreational vehicle, but it certainly doesn't qualify as the end of days.
Malcolm would never leave exeter.
You're bluffing.
Yeah,maybe I am.
Or maybe I'm not,but I'm pretty sure you don't know the difference anymore.
Warren loves us.
It's that simple.
Why can't you see that? Okay,I do see that.
And I know what you went through with your first husband.
- He was a coward.
- He was.
He walked out on you and your girls and you hit bottom.
And warren came along and he's my strength.
And he was there at just the right second.
When you were beaten down,when it felt like somebody had ripped your life apart, warren saved you.
Ruth,he gave you your life back,but that does not give him the right to take that away.
- we're a family.
- Yeah.
Yeah,it's your family,ruth,just as much as it is his.
Do not let him take that away from you.
Just look,okay? Go to where hahna was standing and look.
Mile to go.
At this speed,60 seconds tops.
