The Event s01e22 Episode Script

Previously on The Event I have no idea what it says.
If he could read it, Dempsey knew more than he was telling you.
About why we are here, and about what happened.
Our star has begun to implode.
We will bring all of our people here and make this planet our own.
She's doing what she has to to save us.
By committing genocide.
We need to make room.
The most efficient way to spread the pathogen, is by using three parallel distribution channels.
Within five weeks, a vast majority of the human population will be dead.
I know about the virus.
They used me as a way to change it.
I'm gonna get you out of there.
You can't.
What? I'm infected.
Everything we need to know about stopping the virus is on there.
That's a lot of data to sort through.
The answer's right here.
We're just gonna have to figure it out on our own.
The President is awake.
Mr.
President, open your eyes, sir.
Outstanding, sir.
Yes.
I know you tried to kill me.
I am the President of the United States.
Not for long.
There needs to be a vote that you're capable.
You can barely stand.
Let alone lead this country.
I just got word from home.
Our people are ready to come.
Your job is to power the array.
We're ready to activate on your order.
Proceed.
Hey, Leila, stay with me.
Leila.
You have to stay awake, okay? Sterling called a specialist at the CDC, under the radar.
He said they'll be here any minute.
Okay? It's too late for me.
You have to worry about everyone else.
It's not too late.
You can't think like that.
Sean, I know what this virus does.
They said no one can survive it.
No.
Simon said that his people are immune to it.
You share some of that DNA.
So you have it within you to fight this.
Please.
Find Sam.
Leila.
Make sure she is okay.
Leila, hey, stay with me.
Leila.
Leila! Oh, thank God.
She's dehydrated, she's very weak.
How long has she been symptomatic? Uh I don't know, a day.
Maybe two or three.
Put her in a suit.
Get her ready for transport.
We're gonna take good care of her.
We need to get her to a proper facility.
You need to leave the area.
Okay.
Leila, I'll find you, okay? It's gonna be fine.
I'll be there.
Everything is gonna be okay.
They built a model projecting the spread of the disease over the next five weeks.
Running the projection backwards tells us where the attacks will originate.
By 5:30 today, the pathogen will have been released to these three locations.
Food processing plant, outside of Richmond, Virginia, the US Bureau of Engraving in DC, and the international terminal at Dulles airport.
Food, money and travel.
Within days, it will be everywhere.
Do we know what kind of delivery mechanisms they are using? Yeah, these pressurized aerosol containers.
We have to assume they're either on their way, or are already in place at the three locations.
Teams one and two are in place.
Prepping canisters for release.
No delays or disruptions.
All right.
Pull over here.
Is there a problem? It'll be safer if we're stopped.
Sophia, what are we doing here? How did you know? Gerard.
He said the portal would impact the Earth's precession.
That we'd feel the effects along the 38th parallel as the time drew nearer.
The portal's creating a door in the fabric of space and we just cracked it open.
Sophia, I know you have mixed feelings about what we're doing to the native population.
But think about the alternative.
Our people are arriving soon.
I don't have the luxury of self-doubt.
We have to get this done.
A small earthquake, measuring 4.
6 on the Richter scale, was felt along the east coast today.
There have been no reports of injuries or death.
Geologists say the tremor is of note for one very peculiar reason.
They have yet to identify any fault that would explain how the quake originated.
Scientists are baffled by the swarm of similar-magnitude quakes that have shaken several other areas around the globe.
It's Sterling.
He's with Simon.
You're on with the President.
Mr.
President, we need your help.
We've determined Sophia's releasing the virus at a food processing plant outside Richmond, the Bureau of Engraving, and the Dulles airport international terminal.
My God.
We need you to dispatch counter-terrorism teams to these locations immediately.
Jarvis is challenging my reinstatement.
And I'm forcing a vote of the Cabinet.
I can't issue any orders until that happens.
What's the timeframe? It'll take another hour to gather the Cabinet, maybe two.
By then it may be too late.
We can launch contained operations at the Bureau of Engraving and the food processing plant.
And as Chief of Staff, Richard, you can send teams in via written orders from the office of the President.
Jarvis wouldn't have to know.
No.
Shutting down a terminal at an international airport, that's another matter.
We need to do something, one way or another.
If Sophia succeeds in infecting passengers and they travel to other countries, there'll be no way to stop the spread of this virus.
President Martinez and Peel are doing everything they can, but it looks like it may be up to us to stop Sophia's operation at the airport.
Us? Four people? How are we supposed to do that? We could call in a bomb threat.
Shut the airport down that way.
Even if it worked, as soon as we actually start to shut the place down, Sophia could still release the virus and infect everyone in the terminal.
Our only option is to get there, stay under the radar, and try to locate Sophia ourselves.
I need to speak with you.
Give us a minute.
Yes, sir.
If you're trying to convince me to step down again, don't waste your breath.
It's up to the Cabinet now.
And I think we both know what they will decide when they see the condition you're in.
Forget about the vote, Ray.
All I care about is saving this country and stopping Sophia from doing Sophia doesn't need to be stopped.
I negotiated a peace with her.
You need to shut down the international terminal at Dulles and send in a bio-containment team immediately.
What are you talking about? Why? She is planning to release a deadly virus there, so her people can take this planet for themselves.
That's ridiculous, she wouldn't do that.
I know it's a lot for you to accept she's been lying to you.
That's not true.
I swear on everything I hold dear, I am telling you the truth, why else on earth would I be asking you to shut down the airport? To make me look like a fool, like I'm not in control of the situation with Sophia, so the Cabinet will look past your medical problems and reinstate you.
Ray.
I'm willing to make a deal.
To let you finish your term, by keeping the truth of what you've done between us.
Now, you do nothing, I'll expose you to the Cabinet.
Tell them everything you've done.
Do you really think the Cabinet would believe that I poisoned you to make a deal with Sophia? You have no proof of what I did to you or the arrangements I made with Sophia, or you would have used it.
You'll only look crazy and prove my point, that you're in no shape to lead this country.
I'll see you at the vote.
Sophia.
Raymond, what is it? Martinez just confronted me.
And he made accusations.
About what? That you are about to release a virus.
On American soil.
When was this? Just now.
Is it true? Of course not.
How do I know you're not lying to me, that you haven't been lying to me from the very beginning? Listen to me.
Tomorrow there will be a new world order with your guiding hand, you only need to hang on for one more day, do you understand? Yes.
You must not let anyone get in our way.
Can you do that? Yes.
I chose you because of your strength, your power.
Use it.
We may have a problem.
They know.
Somehow they know.
I'll get these around security.
Hand them back off to you and Carlos inside the terminal.
Good.
Okay.
Might be better for us to stay out of sight for the exchange.
This card will let you pass the security door near gate 122.
Code's on the back.
Go through the hallway.
We'll meet back there in time for the 5:30 release.
No, they found out.
We can't afford to wait.
As soon as each of us has our canister in place, we'll release the virus immediately.
Ready to go in three, two I'm here at the base of Mount Shasta, where volcanic experts are stumped by reports of new lava flows coming from this thought-to-be dormant volcano.
Concerns of a full scale eruption are growing among locals, but so far, no official mention of an evacuation.
Teams are on their way to two of the three sites.
But the airport is still the most lethal part of Sophia's plan.
Any word from Sterling or Agent Lee? They're on their way with two civilians who are helping them but even they believe the odds of success to be small.
The Cabinet has to reinstate me.
It's our only chance.
Yes, sir.
Elias, you can't do this.
You're not well enough yet.
It looks worse than it is.
You've heard what the doctor said.
If you don't rest, you can You can die.
Freeze! Right there! Once the canisters are connected to the auxiliary well, I can direct the control room to switch over.
How much money can we infect with the virus? As long as the presses continue rolling, about Blue team, go! The rest of you, secure the canisters.
Go around! Go! I see.
All right.
That was Peel.
President wasn't able to get anywhere with Jarvis.
We're on our own.
From what I saw on their laptop, an inside man was supposed to get the canisters past security for Sophia through an off-limits area near Baggage Claim 3.
All right.
Agent Lee and I will follow that route.
Well, Sophia's supposed to meet him in the international terminal.
So we'll look for her there.
All right.
Baggage Claim 3 is now unloading from Bangkok.
Avias Flight 4-2-2 Hey, Eddie.
Will.
Confiscated anything good? Hey! You mind if I take these? Me and the wife like to keep things invigorated.
Oh, too much information.
Just keep them.
Ma'am, grab your luggage and step over here, please.
Is there a problem? Random check.
I don't have any bags.
I checked everything.
On the yellow mark, please.
Arms out.
Not while you're being checked, ma'am.
Sorry.
You're fine, ma'am.
Thank you.
Hello.
- They knew we were here.
They stopped us before we could release the virus.
I'm sorry, Sophia, we were outgunned.
What about the food plant? What about Aaron? I haven't been able to reach him.
We got him.
We got him.
It's up to you now, Sophia.
Freeze! Devon? Devon? The attack at the Bureau of Engraving was stopped.
Some of the pathogen was released at the food processing plant, but it was contained by the bio-hazard team.
Good.
And the airport? Nothing yet.
You okay? - Sir! - Mr.
President! Baggage Claim 3 is now closed.
Please collect unclaimed bags at the main office in Concourse 2.
We're looking for a man with TSA credentials who would have just passed this way.
This man is carrying a biological weapon he is going to release inside the terminal.
Are you law enforcement? You have some ID? My name is Blake Sterling.
I'm the Director of National Intelligence.
Answer the question.
Listen, you show me some ID or I'm gonna have you two arrested.
Count of three.
Did he come this way or not? Yeah.
Yeah, Delgado came by a minute ago with a cart of stuff.
I've got a visual.
Freeze! Cover me! Simon! Vest.
Took the impact.
I'll be all right.
Damn it.
Yeah.
We have a visual of Sophia's man.
But we lost him.
We need a location.
He's heading up an elevator to gates 120 to 140, back of the house.
He has the canisters.
We need to find a way to get into the secured side.
Two men.
Right behind me.
I shot one of them.
I think it was Simon.
We have to hurry.
You know where to take the canisters for maximum distribution.
What if we're challenged? Don't wait.
Open the valves.
Go.
Okay.
Sophia! Go! I'll cover you! Go! I'll take him.
He's down! Where's Sophia? She went that way! You go that way.
As much as I'd like to give Eli the benefit of the doubt, there have been earthquakes all across the country.
We're in crisis mode.
I understand.
Ladies and gentlemen, without the attendance of President Martinez, I have no choice but to formally withdraw his petition for reinstatement.
Acting President Jarvis will continue in his role until further notice.
Please, advisors Members of the Cabinet, Mr.
Vice President, let's begin.
I think it's safe to say that none of us would be here today without Elias Martinez.
Elias Martinez is one of the greatest Presidents of my generation and I look forward to the day when he is able to serve this country once again.
But today is not that day.
Please refer to the dossiers that you have in front of you.
These are the current medical records of President Martinez.
As you will note on page three, paragraph four, President Martinez wasn't officially cleared for discharge from Bethesda Hospital.
He simply left against the recommendations of his own doctors.
In fact, a team of his physicians recommended months of recuperation.
Months.
Not days.
This is a man who suffered from bleeding on the brain and was in a vegetative state.
I know that President Martinez wants to do the right thing for his country.
And so do we all.
But the medical evidence is overwhelmingly clear.
To take office now is not in the best interests of anyone.
Especially, not himself.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
And I promise you, that I will uphold the ideals of this office until you return.
Thank you very much.
The Vice President is right.
In an ideal world, I would have more time to recover and I wouldn't be standing here before you.
But I have no choice.
I must be reinstated to prevent a tragedy that is unparalleled in human history.
A tragedy that is born of the insecurity and the hubris of Vice President Raymond Jarvis.
A man so deluded and hungry for power that he would sell his soul and the soul of his country.
I think we can all agree that this is not the forum for name-calling.
Vice President Jarvis is responsible for what happened to me.
Oh, that's insane! - Absurd! Everyone in this room is aware of the situation with Sophia and her people.
What you don't know is that the Vice President has been working behind-the-scenes with her.
Helping, inadvertently or not, to unleash a deadly virus that will decimate mankind.
That's insane.
He's lying.
We must act now to stop the genocide of humanity.
This is preposterous.
Now you can see how unwell this man is.
Quiet! Everyone, quiet! I begged the Vice President to shut down Dulles airport and stop Sophia from spreading the pathogen This is delusional.
and he refused.
Because he was too proud to believe the truth.
That he was being manipulated by Sophia.
He is lying.
I'm not.
And I can prove it.
These are your words, Mr.
Vice President.
You do nothing, I'll expose you to the Cabinet.
Tell them everything you've done.
Do you really think the Cabinet would believe that I poisoned you to make a deal with Sophia? You have no proof of what I did to you or the arrangements I made with Sophia, or you would have used it.
This This is doctored.
This is a setup.
This We are running out of time.
Madam Speaker, we need to vote.
Shut down Dulles.
No flights in or out.
And get Armbruster and Sterling reinstated.
What about Jarvis? Who? Sophia! Sophia! Move in! Stay where you are.
Stay where you are.
Make way.
Make way.
Sophia! Sean! Sean! Sophia's locked herself inside.
Martinez did it.
All the flights have been canceled.
Sterling said that the other two locations have been neutralized.
Sophia can still release the virus from here, we have to get everyone out.
We can't.
They've locked down all the exits.
Sophia, we know what you're trying to do but it's not going to matter now.
You're the only one left.
I can see why Michael was so fond of you.
You are remarkably resourceful.
I'm sorry it has to end this way.
It doesn't have to end, Sophia.
Of course it has to end.
I understand that you just wanted to help your people but your plan didn't work.
We've secured the other locations, the virus has been contained.
If you release the virus here, all it will do is kill only the people in this terminal.
There will be no benefit to your people.
It'll just be murder.
They don't deserve to die, Sophia.
Did my people deserve to die? On those buses? My son.
Did my son deserve to die? No.
No, he didn't.
No.
You don't want this.
You don't know me.
Your attention please! Dulles International Airport is now on lockdown.
Please remain calm and stay inside the terminals.
Maybe I don't know you.
But I do know that when we first met, you weren't like this.
You told me that you and your people came here in peace.
You remember that? Do you remember telling me that? Listen, things No, things have changed.
I know.
I know.
Simon told me what's happened.
That you were forced by circumstances, by pain There's been enough pain, Sophia, for everyone.
Including you.
You can end this, Sophia.
No one else needs to get hurt.
You should know that the spread of the virus has stopped.
How? At least, in part, because of someone you know.
Sean Walker.
Sean? Is he okay? Yes.
He's all right.
There's something else, Leila.
Something we've found in your labs.
All of your readings have come back clean.
We'll let you know as soon as we double check the tox-screens.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right, Ms.
Roberts.
We're ready to scan you now.
Please follow me.
This isn't over yet.
Look, I don't know how, but as far as I know, Sophia's still bringing our people here.
Sean, what you need to know is, our people were here before.
We were here first.
I don't understand.
This place was our home.
Before it was yours.
Why did you leave? Because my people believe that if we stay here, something will happen to all of us.
We call it "The Event.
" It's a rebirth, the next step for our people.
We'll change.
Evolve into something else, something greater.
But your people won't survive it.
Why not? What happens? Our transportation's here.
We're needed at the White House.
Now.
Wait.
Simon? Simon! Look, all the answers are hidden in that scroll, about where we come from and about how this all ends.
Blake.
Mr.
President.
It is good to see you, sir.
And you.
Agent Lee.
I believe I owe you my life.
Thank you.
And everything else we have to say to each other we'll talk about later.
Yes, sir.
Now, we know Sophia intends on bringing her people here.
I need to know when, how, and if we can stop it.
Sophia's still being secured and vetted, and we can't expect her to tell us anything.
What do we know? I assume the portal that Thomas built is part of how she's doing it.
But there were never more than vague rumors as to where it might be.
Director Sterling told me your world is dying and that Sophia intended on bringing your entire population here.
How many people are we talking about? Two and a half billion.
Now that she's failed to make room, you sure she won't call it off? She has no choice.
Our sun is close to supernova, the planet is being irradiated Where does she think she's gonna put two and a half billion people? I don't know, sir.
It doesn't seem possible to me but it is Sophia's plan.
These rumors about the location of the portal, how precise were they? They weren't.
Most of them had the portal located somewhere in Asia, but doesn't exactly pin it down.
It's a start.
It may be more than that.
I was going over the hourly logs across the departments.
According to the NSA, Jarvis personally ordered them to redirect a surveillance satellite that covers part of Asia.
An area in Tibet.
We've adjusted the satellite back to its default position and are receiving streaming data.
What are we looking at? It's an area between the Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan plateau.
We're picking up an area of anomalous electromagnetic radiation just south of the plateau.
Stand by for that.
What is that? That's it.
The portal array.
The electromagnetic radiation.
That means it's been activated.
What does that mean? It means they're coming.
The Chinese premier will have it checked out, but there's no way he'd bomb it, no matter how much of the truth I told him.
You're sure there's nothing else you can tell us? About its mechanics, or anything to counteract it, stop it.
No, I'm sorry.
I wish I could.
What the hell is happening? The mysterious tremors are continuing to rattle nerves around the globe, with Cape Town and Sydney being the most recent cities to experience the shaking.
These are just the latest in an increasingly long list of unusual happenings that have been occurring all over the world in the past 24 hours.
A source Sophia's a few minutes away.
tell us that a yet-to-be-identified geomagnetic phenomenon is most likely to blame.
No thanks.
I really appreciate you waiting here with me, but you don't have to Mr.
Walker, sorry for the delay.
You've been cleared to see Leila in the observation area.
I'll take you.
Okay.
Sean.
Yeah.
I didn't join this fight willingly.
You know that.
You forcing me to is the reason why my family is safe.
And because of you, I'm no longer ashamed to face them.
Thank you.
Sure.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Straight to the left.
Thanks.
I know they are working on a way to help you.
They're trying.
But even with all the tests, they still don't know much.
They'll figure it out.
I know they'll find a way to cure you.
There's something that I have to tell you.
What? Something that they did find.
What? What is it? Leila, please.
I'm pregnant.
What? She told me this morning and I I don't know what's gonna happen.
You're gonna be okay.
You're both gonna be okay.
I love you.
I love you so much.
We've identified the portal array in Tibet.
And we know it's bringing your people here.
I've told them everything I know about the portal.
How do we stop it, Sophia? How do we shut it down? You can't.
Well, do you have a predetermined landing site? You know I won't answer that.
Sophia, it's over.
You lost.
We stopped you.
You might find this hard to believe but the truth is I ordered the spread of the virus as an act of mercy.
We will still need to make room for our people here, one way or another.
However, now, the only choice open to us will be far from humane.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? I'm sorry, Mr.
President.
Sorry about what? It's too late.
What is it? Home.
