Jericho (2006) s01e18 Episode Script
A.K.A.
Previously on Jericho: Hello, Rob.
Someone on my team sold us all out.
You're smart enough to know they would say anything to get you to talk.
Get the package.
No! You know, in the last three months, I remembered all the reasons why I need you in my life.
So have I.
I've also remembered why it can never work.
I told Darcy she and the kids can come stay with us.
Thanks, Jimmy.
I appreciate that.
We have also received reports that the bombers gained the trust of local officials, which allowed the terrorists access to secure locations.
Wait.
I've heard that voice before.
- Yeah, this guy does Farm Report.
- It's real news.
In New York, the terrorists who were apprehended were all carrying nearly perfect fake FBI badges.
- You're drunk.
- Yes, I am, Darcy.
Yes, I am.
What? What is it, Rob? Rob? Rob? Is all this really worth it for six kids? Six kids in a conference room is not Harvard, but it's a start.
I meant for you.
I think it's time we start trying to get things back to normal.
Gotta be honest with you, if I'm a kid, going to school isn't high on my list of priorities these days.
- Jake? - Hey, Jimmy.
There you are.
Can I borrow you for a few minutes? I need your help.
We gotta get you a bat-signal or something.
What's wrong? You remember last week on the radio broadcast, they said the terrorists used fake FBI badges - to move through security? - Yeah.
I seen one of those badges.
Where? I never went to law school, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess.
- This is breaking and entering? - It's called probable cause.
It's called paranoid abuse of authority.
Come on, let's go before he comes home and catches you prying up his floorboards.
Look, the terrorists had FBI badges.
Robert Hawkins has an FBI badge.
You think that's just coincidence? Maybe he's FBI.
Please, tell me you thought of that.
I did, all right? And I asked his family.
And they all say he's FBI, all right? But when they said it, they all had this look on their face like there was something that they weren't saying.
Sort of like the look I have on my face right now? Look, I had a hunch.
I was right.
Okay, now, he's out on patrol.
He's not gonna be back for a while, so come on.
- Did you bust this lock open? - Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, this is kind of weird, but if he's FBI, isn't this what his basement would look like? Well, that's what I said till I saw this.
- Does Gray know about this? - No.
Wanted to get a second opinion before I told anyone.
What do you wanna do? Don't.
Who are you? Hand it over.
Nice and slow.
Slide it over.
- What the hell are you doing here? - Did you wipe out 23 American cities? - Get out of my house.
- Answer the question.
Why would you think that? You've got a working generator and a food supply.
Like you knew the attacks were coming.
- I'm gonna give you ten seconds to - Back up.
Jimmy knows I'm here.
If I don't call him off when he gets back, you're gonna have a lot more people than me to deal with.
I'm an FBI agent, Jake.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
Problem is the radio's reporting that the terrorists used forged FBI badges to get their bombs into position.
What is that room? How are you involved in all of this? I need to know.
Five months ago, this was a map of our country.
Now it's an antique.
It's a picture of the way things used to be.
Right now all we're sure of is this: But this is where we start to rebuild.
So how do we do it? How? We look to our history.
We study the people that came before us.
Yes? - Are you gonna take attendance? - No.
Where are you going? My mom's at home right now trying to grow beets out of our bathtub so we can eat next month.
This stuff isn't important.
Well, I guess school's out early today.
You don't have to stay if you don't want.
I don't think I should be hanging around at home right now.
So I guess I'm stuck here.
So it's come to this.
I want you to know this has nothing to do with you personally.
I'm sure you're wonderful.
But let's be honest here.
You're the one that lays the fewest eggs.
And I distinctly told all of you that this was going to happen.
I believe I made myself perfectly clear in that regard.
All right.
The thing is, if you knew me at all, you would see how really funny this is, because this is so not my thing.
No, this is Stanley's thing.
It's just I'm awfully hungry.
And I don't wanna get into the whole circle-of-life business, but I just cannot eat any more sprouts.
Okay, enough stalling.
Here we go.
Here's my concern.
I've heard stories about how you're gonna react to this.
And if I see half of you running around, well, I just know that I'm gonna freak out.
So if you could do your best to minimize that part of it, I'd just really appreciate it.
Sprouts it is.
Johnston? You're really out here looking for deer? - Thought they were all gone.
- What do you want, Harry? You think you can come into city hall today? Gray's still out.
It'd be nice to have somebody around who knows what they're doing.
Not my job anymore.
Now get lost, I'm trying to shoot some deer.
It would just be for a day or two.
You're starting to look an awful lot like a deer, Harry.
I've been in the FBI for 15 years.
I worked law enforcement after college, and then I joined the Bureau.
- Where'd you go to school? - Georgetown.
Do you wanna see my ring? The FBI, what were you working on? I was sent here to monitor phone calls made in the area to a suspected terrorist cell.
- And what'd you find out? - Nothing.
Trail went dead.
We about done here? Not even close.
Tell me about her, Sarah Mason.
She's gone.
You're pretty thorough.
Also took care of the one in the cabinet and the one behind the water heater.
There's only one loaded gun in this house.
And it's mine.
Sit down.
Arms behind you.
Tell me about Sarah.
Jimmy said she was also a cop in St.
Louis.
Was she working with you? Against you? Who are these people? You know, you are making a serious mistake.
- I am a federal officer.
- Really? Really? Sure you're not Robert Wheeler, State Department? Or how about Robert Snider, Columbus P.
D? Commander Robert Richmond, Naval Intelligence.
None of those are real and neither is that badge.
Who the hell are you? Who do you work for? - You do not wanna know what I know.
- I think I can handle it.
- Really? - Yeah.
Because I can barely handle it and I was trained for this.
Well, you can tell me or you tell the whole town.
All right.
But once you hear this, you are a part of it, Jake, and there is no going back.
Who do you work for? CIA.
Sarah Mason and I were part of an off-the-books team.
We were tracking the bombs used in the attack.
Where did they come from, the bombs? The U.
S.
government brought them in.
See, after the Soviet Union fell, neglected military in the satellite republics started selling their nuclear stockpiles on the black market.
So the CIA started an operation: get that material by any and all means necessary.
But a few years ago, a shipment disappeared on its way to the DOE storage complex in Oak Ridge.
And that is where my CIA team came in.
- Why you? - I'm the best at what I do.
And what is that? Satellite installation.
I have a 2:00 appointment with Mr.
Higgins.
I've been inside all day.
How's the weather out there? You know, it looks like rain.
Thank you.
- Hello, Victor.
- Hawkins.
- Hey.
- I believe you know everyone here.
- Hey.
- Except this young lady.
- Robert Hawkins.
- Sarah Mason.
All right, let's get down to it.
We have a lot of ground to cover.
As most of you know, a shipment of nukes from Project Red Bell is missing.
What you don't know is that we have quality intel that those warheads have been converted into 25 small high-yield devices.
These bombs have been disseminated to extremist cells active within the United States.
So is this al Qaeda? I wish it were that simple.
It's much larger than that.
It's a cross section of domestic militia, anarchists and religious fanatics.
As you can see, these are terrorists that would never collaborate ideologically or politically.
The only thing that links them is the desire to take down the federal government.
Our job is to get undercover in these cells and find these bombs.
So who do we think is orchestrating this? The agency's been at this from every angle and all we know is that he's got deep resources, an ability to coordinate diverse groups, and by all indications, he's an American.
We were broken up into groups of two.
Each unit was assigned a terrorist cell.
One agent went undercover, one acted as handler.
You can't expect me to believe you were sent here undercover.
What's so special about this place? You know, I would show you, but: Yeah, that's clever.
It's over there, behind the map.
Yeah.
Where did you get this? Those are Defense Department projections.
They've been doing them since the '50s.
They're fallout scenarios in the event of a nuclear attack on 20 U.
S.
cities.
And do you see Jericho? It's outside the fallout zones, Jake.
It's got a salt mine, plenty of farmland, and access to an untainted water table.
So you weren't here to monitor phone calls.
Jericho was a rally point in case we failed in our mission.
Failed? Or succeeded? And Johnston was He wanted to come.
I know he did.
He's just having a hard time dealing with things lately.
He always gets quiet when he's going through something.
But I just wish I could think of something to help him get through this.
We miss you, sweetheart.
There's no more sprouts.
You finished them? I was hungry.
Wait, so, what are you even doing here, Sean? It's, like, 9:30 in the morning.
Oh, my.
You slept here? Well, actually, there wasn't a whole lot of sleeping going on.
Get out of the house.
What are you doing? You let him spend the night? Yes.
Well, that doesn't seem like something Stanley would approve of, does it? Stanley's not here.
Just like that, you infiltrated a terrorist cell planning a nuclear attack.
Yeah, just like that.
It took me two years, eight months of it in prison, developing contacts, getting into the network.
The only outside person I communicated with was my handler.
After prison, I spent another year trying to gain their trust on the outside.
And even then, I was only scratching the surface.
- But you got in.
- Yeah, yeah.
How? They were looking for high-grade government IDs.
You gave them their badges? I had to prove that I was loyal and valuable to the cell, Jake.
I think I've heard enough.
No, no.
You barely scratched the surface.
You're the one who wanted to hear this.
So why don't you hear it all? The cell was looking for IDs.
And I needed to get higher up in their organization.
So I let it be known that I had a source.
See, the badges were gonna be tagged so that my team could track them.
They sent me to make the buy with another cell member.
It was a kid named Daryl.
How do we know these are real? They're real enough.
Where'd you get them from? How and where I got these badges is my business.
What you do with them is yours.
- Nice doing business with you.
- You too.
We should celebrate, man.
Go out, get some girls.
Except you don't really seem like the type.
All serious.
- You married? - I was.
Really? What happened? What the hell is going on? Hold it right there.
I'm sorry, man.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
FBI.
Hands in the air.
Back against the car.
It turns out Daryl was an FBI informant.
But my handler got me out and we kept my cover intact.
So the FBI have an informant in my target cell and they can't tell us anything about that? You know, I am damn lucky that my cover wasn't blown.
Your cover's intact, yes? - Yeah, we believe so.
- Then let's move on.
Have you been able to make contact with those coordinating the attack? No, but at this stage, I recommend that we take down the cells we've already infiltrated.
You know, at the very least, it will disrupt the overall plan, maybe delay it for a while.
How many of the bombs can you get? A third for sure.
Half if we're lucky.
Look, I know, it's not ideal, but at this stage, it is the safest move.
That's still a dozen bombs in play, Mr.
Valente.
What are you doing? I just think there's a way to speed this up and get all the bombs at once.
- Yeah, we agreed that - Do you mind? I think there may be a way to get us further inside.
My partner tells the cell leader that Daryl is the FBI informant.
That gets him the credibility that he needs to move up faster.
Then let us handle the FBI and do whatever is necessary to save the operation.
It's still gonna take some time, but we're close.
Okay.
We're counting on you.
And you know the risks.
You better be right about this.
This is the right way to go.
Trust me.
What would you have done? Stayed in or pulled the plug? Seems like the wrong question to me.
I'd ask myself how much I trusted my partner.
Well, if I can sneak up here without you so much as turning around, how are you gonna hear any game? I heard you half a mile back in those shoes.
You said you'd come with me to see April today.
Fine.
You coming home for dinner? There are no deer in these woods.
They've all been picked clean.
Then I guess I'll be here a while.
You know, I never wanted to be a mom.
I didn't sign up for this.
But you know what? You're right.
I owe it to Stanley.
So I'm just gonna have to jump in with both feet whether she wants to hear from me or not.
Listen to me going on about my problems.
You must be ready to take this hatchet and do the damn job yourself.
I didn't know that he knew how to sign.
What did he say to you? Never mind.
Look, that boy is bad news.
Now, I can't stop you from seeing him, but he is no longer welcome in this house.
Do you understand me? Hey, Allison.
So why do you feel you can't hang out at home? You don't have to talk if you don't want to.
It's not that I don't wanna talk about it.
It's just my family's pretty weird.
My family was pretty weird too.
In fact, when I was your age, I didn't wanna hang out with them either.
What about now? They're gone.
There's this thing that went down at my house a couple weeks ago.
I did something.
Okay.
What did you do? I did something that can't be forgiven.
Now my mom just keeps looking at me.
Like I've changed into some kind of monster or something.
You know you haven't, right? So even though you weren't sure about the plan, you outed the informant to the cell leader.
Once we decided to leave the bombs in play, it was the only way for me to get deep enough into the cell to gain their trust.
I told the cell leader that Daryl was the informant, but I wanted to get him out before they killed him.
Come on, grab what you need and let's go.
They're gonna hunt me down and they're gonna kill me.
This is your lucky day, Daryl.
They gonna get you into Witness Protection, so don't worry.
We're gonna get you out of here.
Stay there.
Daryl? - Damn it.
- What is it? - Daryl, we just wanna talk.
- The cell leader.
You gotta get me out of this place.
Run.
I'll tell them that you got away.
I think my leg is broken.
Please, help me.
Or I'm gonna tell them who you really are.
I'm sorry.
So I finally gained their trust.
I was in.
You killed him.
It was either kill him or possibly let millions of people die.
They died anyway.
- Jake? You still down there? - Call him off.
You're not helping your cause any by keeping that in my face.
Hey, Jake.
Do not make me kill him, Jake.
All right.
- All right.
- Jake? Go.
What's going on, Jake? We just need a little more time.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Yeah, we're all right.
Hey.
All right.
I'm out front.
Okay.
Turn around, Jake.
Okay.
It is not about this anymore.
We're past this.
Starting now, we trust each other.
Then you need to tell me everything.
I'm done telling.
Now I gotta show you.
What are you doing here? It's your first day at a new school.
You know, the last time you had one of those, Sam was in diapers.
Doesn't look like you had a big turnout.
No, most people left early.
I guess you knew better.
I figured you really didn't want me around the house, anyway.
Why would you say that? You know, because of what I did.
Allison, I love you.
Okay? Nothing will change that.
Come here.
Hear me, baby? Nothing will change that.
You're my little girl.
Mom, please don't be mad at me.
Please don't be mad at me, Mom.
- I'm so I'm so sorry, Mom.
- It's okay.
- Here's the part I don't get.
- What? If you're telling the truth you made it.
You made it deep inside the cell.
You gained their trust.
Yeah.
Right.
Then what happened? Somebody tipped off the terrorists, Jake.
But before we could find out who, the terrorists moved up their plan.
Yeah, Victor.
We made a mistake, a very big mistake.
This is the moment we prepared for.
The strike will go off tomorrow at precisely 8:05 Eastern.
Okay.
No, listen.
The trucks.
They're white, license plates Kansas, I tried to warn the agency, but we were too late.
Some of the bombs were meant for New York.
We managed to head them off.
Even after four years of work, I couldn't stop all of them.
And I'm gonna have to live with that for the rest of my life.
- Since when have you been funny? - Hey, I have always been funny.
Yeah, not for a long time.
No.
Come on.
What is it, Rob? - Rob? - I won't be long.
Not interrupting, am I? You know you are.
Well, you weren't exactly returning our calls.
Told my wife I was done.
I promised her, Victor.
- We need you back.
- Why me? You're the best at what you do.
Which is what? Your family will be there when you get back.
The team's meeting tomorrow.
Come listen to what this is all about.
If you wanna walk away after that, walk away.
Two o'clock.
Tomorrow.
Tell the desk jockey you have an appointment with Mr.
Higgins.
If they ask about the weather, tell them it's gonna rain.
Who was that? I might need to go to a meeting tomorrow.
Can't keep doing this.
I can't.
Hey.
We'll be fine, D.
What is that? It's the end of the rabbit hole, Jake.
Give me a hand with this.
It's heavy.
So you believe me now? Is that what I think it is? It was meant for Columbus, Ohio.
You brought a nuclear bomb here? What would you have done with it? What are you gonna do with it? I'm gonna keep it safe.
I'm gonna keep it secret, you know, because It gives the town some power, Jake, but it also makes them a target.
And look I know what you're thinking.
You're wishing you'd walked away when I gave you the chance.
Why didn't you show me this when I walked in the door today? You didn't walk in.
Jake! Hey, Jake.
I been watching you, Jake, and you can handle yourself.
And I've seen what a help you have been to this town.
But I needed to know that I could trust you, that you could handle it if I told you everything.
Jake? Okay.
This bomb, it's our burden now.
Whatever happens next, that is gonna be up to you.
Okay? He's FBI, just like he said.
But We're in good hands.
That's good to hear.
I'm sorry about all this, Mr.
Hawkins.
We do that outside.
Okay.
I didn't know that.
There's something I wanna say to you.
But I'm still learning, so just please bear with me.
Stanley is important to me.
You are important to me.
I want you to be safe.
So please be patient with me.
I'm trying.
I'll try too.
So Hug? Right.
I brought you some dinner.
Thank you.
You know, I am damn lucky that my cover wasn't blown.
- We need you back.
- Your cover's intact? - Yeah, we believe so.
- Then let's move on.
I recommend that we take down the cells that we've already infiltrated.
Disrupt the overall plan, maybe delay it for a while.
How many of the bombs can you get? We need you back.
Your cover's intact, yes? It's a cross section of domestic militia, anarchists and religious fanatics.

As most of you know, a shipment of nukes from Project Red Bell is missing.
What you don't know is that we have quality intel that those warheads have been converted into 25 small high-yield devices.
These bombs have been disseminated to extremist cells active within the United States.
So is this al Qaeda? I wish it were that simple.
It's much larger than that.
It's a cross section of domestic militia, anarchists and religious fanatics.
As you can see, these are terrorists that would never collaborate ideologically or politically.
The only thing that links them is the desire to take down the federal government.
Our job is to get undercover in these cells and find these bombs.
So who do we think is orchestrating this? The agency's been at this from every angle and all we know is that he's got deep resources, an ability to coordinate diverse groups, and by all indications, he's an American.
We were broken up into groups of two.
Each unit was assigned a terrorist cell.
One agent went undercover, one acted as handler.
You can't expect me to believe you were sent here undercover.
What's so special about this place? You know, I would show you, but: Yeah, that's clever.
It's over there, behind the map.
Yeah.
Where did you get this? Those are Defense Department projections.
They've been doing them since the '50s.
They're fallout scenarios in the event of a nuclear attack on 20 U.
S.
cities.
And do you see Jericho? It's outside the fallout zones, Jake.
It's got a salt mine, plenty of farmland, and access to an untainted water table.
So you weren't here to monitor phone calls.
Jericho was a rally point in case we failed in our mission.
Failed? Or succeeded? And Johnston was He wanted to come.
I know he did.
He's just having a hard time dealing with things lately.
He always gets quiet when he's going through something.
But I just wish I could think of something to help him get through this.
We miss you, sweetheart.
There's no more sprouts.
You finished them? I was hungry.
Wait, so, what are you even doing here, Sean? It's, like, 9:30 in the morning.
Oh, my.
You slept here? Well, actually, there wasn't a whole lot of sleeping going on.
Get out of the house.
What are you doing? You let him spend the night? Yes.
Well, that doesn't seem like something Stanley would approve of, does it? Stanley's not here.
Just like that, you infiltrated a terrorist cell planning a nuclear attack.
Yeah, just like that.
It took me two years, eight months of it in prison, developing contacts, getting into the network.
The only outside person I communicated with was my handler.
After prison, I spent another year trying to gain their trust on the outside.
And even then, I was only scratching the surface.
- But you got in.
- Yeah, yeah.
How? They were looking for high-grade government IDs.
You gave them their badges? I had to prove that I was loyal and valuable to the cell, Jake.
I think I've heard enough.
No, no.
You barely scratched the surface.
You're the one who wanted to hear this.
So why don't you hear it all? The cell was looking for IDs.
And I needed to get higher up in their organization.
So I let it be known that I had a source.
See, the badges were gonna be tagged so that my team could track them.
They sent me to make the buy with another cell member.
It was a kid named Daryl.
How do we know these are real? They're real enough.
Where'd you get them from? How and where I got these badges is my business.
What you do with them is yours.
- Nice doing business with you.
- You too.
We should celebrate, man.
Go out, get some girls.
Except you don't really seem like the type.
All serious.
- You married? - I was.
Really? What happened? What the hell is going on? Hold it right there.
I'm sorry, man.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
FBI.
Hands in the air.
Back against the car.
It turns out Daryl was an FBI informant.
But my handler got me out and we kept my cover intact.
So the FBI have an informant in my target cell and they can't tell us anything about that? You know, I am damn lucky that my cover wasn't blown.
Your cover's intact, yes? - Yeah, we believe so.
- Then let's move on.
Have you been able to make contact with those coordinating the attack? No, but at this stage, I recommend that we take down the cells we've already infiltrated.
You know, at the very least, it will disrupt the overall plan, maybe delay it for a while.
How many of the bombs can you get? A third for sure.
Half if we're lucky.
Look, I know, it's not ideal, but at this stage, it is the safest move.
That's still a dozen bombs in play, Mr.
Valente.
What are you doing? I just think there's a way to speed this up and get all the bombs at once.
- Yeah, we agreed that - Do you mind? I think there may be a way to get us further inside.
My partner tells the cell leader that Daryl is the FBI informant.
That gets him the credibility that he needs to move up faster.
Then let us handle the FBI and do whatever is necessary to save the operation.
It's still gonna take some time, but we're close.
Okay.
We're counting on you.
And you know the risks.
You better be right about this.
This is the right way to go.
Trust me.
What would you have done? Stayed in or pulled the plug? Seems like the wrong question to me.
I'd ask myself how much I trusted my partner.
Well, if I can sneak up here without you so much as turning around, how are you gonna hear any game? I heard you half a mile back in those shoes.
You said you'd come with me to see April today.
Fine.
You coming home for dinner? There are no deer in these woods.
They've all been picked clean.
Then I guess I'll be here a while.
You know, I never wanted to be a mom.
I didn't sign up for this.
But you know what? You're right.
I owe it to Stanley.
So I'm just gonna have to jump in with both feet whether she wants to hear from me or not.
Listen to me going on about my problems.
You must be ready to take this hatchet and do the damn job yourself.
I didn't know that he knew how to sign.
What did he say to you? Never mind.
Look, that boy is bad news.
Now, I can't stop you from seeing him, but he is no longer welcome in this house.
Do you understand me? Hey, Allison.
So why do you feel you can't hang out at home? You don't have to talk if you don't want to.
It's not that I don't wanna talk about it.
It's just my family's pretty weird.
My family was pretty weird too.
In fact, when I was your age, I didn't wanna hang out with them either.
What about now? They're gone.
There's this thing that went down at my house a couple weeks ago.
I did something.
Okay.
What did you do? I did something that can't be forgiven.
Now my mom just keeps looking at me.
Like I've changed into some kind of monster or something.
You know you haven't, right? So even though you weren't sure about the plan, you outed the informant to the cell leader.
Once we decided to leave the bombs in play, it was the only way for me to get deep enough into the cell to gain their trust.
I told the cell leader that Daryl was the informant, but I wanted to get him out before they killed him.
Come on, grab what you need and let's go.
They're gonna hunt me down and they're gonna kill me.
This is your lucky day, Daryl.
They gonna get you into Witness Protection, so don't worry.
We're gonna get you out of here.
Stay there.
Daryl? - Damn it.
- What is it? - Daryl, we just wanna talk.
- The cell leader.
You gotta get me out of this place.
Run.
I'll tell them that you got away.
I think my leg is broken.
Please, help me.
Or I'm gonna tell them who you really are.
I'm sorry.
So I finally gained their trust.
I was in.
You killed him.
It was either kill him or possibly let millions of people die.
They died anyway.
- Jake? You still down there? - Call him off.
You're not helping your cause any by keeping that in my face.
Hey, Jake.
Do not make me kill him, Jake.
All right.
- All right.
- Jake? Go.
What's going on, Jake? We just need a little more time.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Yeah, we're all right.
Hey.
All right.
I'm out front.
Okay.
Turn around, Jake.
Okay.
It is not about this anymore.
We're past this.
Starting now, we trust each other.
Then you need to tell me everything.
I'm done telling.
Now I gotta show you.
What are you doing here? It's your first day at a new school.
You know, the last time you had one of those, Sam was in diapers.
Doesn't look like you had a big turnout.
No, most people left early.
I guess you knew better.
I figured you really didn't want me around the house, anyway.
Why would you say that? You know, because of what I did.
Allison, I love you.
Okay? Nothing will change that.
Come here.
Hear me, baby? Nothing will change that.
You're my little girl.
Mom, please don't be mad at me.
Please don't be mad at me, Mom.
- I'm so I'm so sorry, Mom.
- It's okay.
- Here's the part I don't get.
- What? If you're telling the truth you made it.
You made it deep inside the cell.
You gained their trust.
Yeah.
Right.
Then what happened? Somebody tipped off the terrorists, Jake.
But before we could find out who, the terrorists moved up their plan.
Yeah, Victor.
We made a mistake, a very big mistake.
This is the moment we prepared for.
The strike will go off tomorrow at precisely 8:05 Eastern.
Okay.
No, listen.
The trucks.
They're white, license plates Kansas, I tried to warn the agency, but we were too late.
Some of the bombs were meant for New York.
We managed to head them off.
Even after four years of work, I couldn't stop all of them.
And I'm gonna have to live with that for the rest of my life.
- Since when have you been funny? - Hey, I have always been funny.
Yeah, not for a long time.
No.
Come on.
What is it, Rob? - Rob? - I won't be long.
Not interrupting, am I? You know you are.
Well, you weren't exactly returning our calls.
Told my wife I was done.
I promised her, Victor.
- We need you back.
- Why me? You're the best at what you do.
Which is what? Your family will be there when you get back.
The team's meeting tomorrow.
Come listen to what this is all about.
If you wanna walk away after that, walk away.
Two o'clock.
Tomorrow.
Tell the desk jockey you have an appointment with Mr.
Higgins.
If they ask about the weather, tell them it's gonna rain.
Who was that? I might need to go to a meeting tomorrow.
Can't keep doing this.
I can't.
Hey.
We'll be fine, D.
What is that? It's the end of the rabbit hole, Jake.
Give me a hand with this.
It's heavy.
So you believe me now? Is that what I think it is? It was meant for Columbus, Ohio.
You brought a nuclear bomb here? What would you have done with it? What are you gonna do with it? I'm gonna keep it safe.
I'm gonna keep it secret, you know, because It gives the town some power, Jake, but it also makes them a target.
And look I know what you're thinking.
You're wishing you'd walked away when I gave you the chance.
Why didn't you show me this when I walked in the door today? You didn't walk in.
Jake! Hey, Jake.
I been watching you, Jake, and you can handle yourself.
And I've seen what a help you have been to this town.
But I needed to know that I could trust you, that you could handle it if I told you everything.
Jake? Okay.
This bomb, it's our burden now.
Whatever happens next, that is gonna be up to you.
Okay? He's FBI, just like he said.
But We're in good hands.
That's good to hear.
I'm sorry about all this, Mr.
Hawkins.
We do that outside.
Okay.
I didn't know that.
There's something I wanna say to you.
But I'm still learning, so just please bear with me.
Stanley is important to me.
You are important to me.
I want you to be safe.
So please be patient with me.
I'm trying.
I'll try too.
So Hug? Right.
I brought you some dinner.
Thank you.
You know, I am damn lucky that my cover wasn't blown.
- We need you back.
- Your cover's intact? - Yeah, we believe so.
- Then let's move on.
I recommend that we take down the cells that we've already infiltrated.
Disrupt the overall plan, maybe delay it for a while.
How many of the bombs can you get? We need you back.
Your cover's intact, yes? It's a cross section of domestic militia, anarchists and religious fanatics.
These are terrorists that would never collaborate.
These bombs have been disseminated to extremist cells that work within the United States.
And by all indications, he's an American.
How many of the bombs can you get?
