Millennium (1996) s03e15 Episode Script

Times Square.
It's just one big party.
We're only seconds away as the ball comes down on the last year of the 20th century.
It's hard to imagine a crazier scene than this one.
Look out for next year, Can you believe it, folks? We're wrapping up to the big one.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year! I was going out to the video store and get a movie.
Is there anything I can get for you while I'm out? Chocolate chocolate chip.
Didn't I just get a quart of that? Hey.
Your wish is my command.
Be right back.
Board chairman Alan Greenspan commented that fear of bank failure Hey.
The Independent Atomic Failsafe Commission reported that six of ten Siberian nuclear installations had not.
Hotel owners on the Mount of Olives have found a Y2Kproblem they didn't expect.
Too many customers.
Shop owner Yorin Boaz is making plans - I wonder what happened? - I don't know.
Well, I think they'll probably tell us.
We're setting up a way to monitor a ransom call, if one comes in.
- This is terrible.
- We're doing everything we can.
Can you excuse me a minute? This is a pro job, Frank.
They made it in and out of here without a sound.
- Point of entry? - Front door.
Knocked the husband out, took his key.
She was in the kitchen.
Did the husband set it up? - We'll run all the usual, but my gut says no.
- What else? He's a doctor.
Runs a cardiac unit at Cedars.
The employees all seem happy as clams.
His office nurse, Rachel Levinson, left a month ago, but on good terms.
She was moving out of the country.
I'm checking it out.
Can I get somebody to dust this? They've removed the mezuzah.
There are prayers from the Torah inside.
To keep everyone from harm.
- Agent Hollis? - I'll be darned.
- A print.
- A print with no print.
OK.
Borenstine's nurse.
The one who said she was leaving the country? She never left.
Where are you taking me? If you want money, we have money.
Just tell me what you want.
Where am I? Please.
Please, please speak to me.
Please.
What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you saying? Please, please, please tell me if you understand me, please.
- Please help me.
- Quiet.
Where am I? Please help me.
Please, please, help me, please.
Please, please What is this place? Why have you brought me here? What are you doing? Make a fist.
Help! Help! No, I'm pregnant.
Please don't hurt the baby.
Please, please, please.
Please.
She may never have left the country, but she intended to.
"A Guide for Moving to the Holy Land"? She wanted to emigrate to Israel.
She never left.
The books aren't even dusty.
It's fresh.
Wait, Frank, look at this.
The print you found at the house.
It's smaller.
She's part of it.
The Millennium Group.
It's an ancient symbol.
Nobody owns it.
The baby.
Relax.
It's good for the baby.
Push now.
Push.
Push.
He's coming.
Please.
Please.
Give him to me.
Give him to me.
All the iconography is pre-Christian.
Look.
This pattern of the bleeding sword, right there, indicates the First Temple.
It was built by King Solomon, 1000 years BC.
There was a Second Temple after that.
Sacrificial scene dates back to the Second Temple.
This one.
The Romans destroyed the Temple when they sacked Jerusalem.
Fanatics want to rebuild the Third Temple on the same spot.
I thought there were mosques there now.
There are.
For 1300 years.
They can't tear down the mosques without starting a war.
According to biblical prophecy, once the Temple's rebuilt, then the Messiah will come.
Look at that.
The circle will be complete.
The world can end.
Sounds like the Group to me.
Do you speak English? Do you understand me? What did you do with my baby? He's fine.
He is.
Wait.
I know your voice.
Please.
If you have any kindness, please, give me my son.
I'll never tell.
You.
What are you doing with my baby? Where is my baby? Where's my baby? Help! No.
No.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything.
I just I just want to see my son.
No! No! They're not gonna call.
It means she's dead, doesn't it? Some kids.
Jeannie? Jeannie? Jeannie? Here! She's out here! - Rachel Levinson was one of the kidnappers.
- Rachel? She's involved with a group of religious fanatics.
They want to rebuild - But that's impossible.
- No, Daniel.
No, Daniel, they're right.
I heard her voice.
- What have they done with our baby? - We don't know yet.
We do know they're preparing themselves for the return of the Messiah, at the year 2000.
- The millennium.
- Yeah.
Wait.
I don't understand.
They want to keep our baby? Why can't you find them? Why are you people just standing here, asking us questions? Just like that other guy.
There was another guy here asking questions, from the, uh Millennium something.
He's with your people, right? I know it's hard.
But the more you tell us, the better our chances are of finding him.
OK.
I want to see the babies in the nursery here.
You say around 12.
15? Somewhere around there.
Stop it there.
Thank you.
I can see what's real now.
His little face, crying.
That wasn't a dream.
That was real.
Rest.
Just get him back.
- Jeannie, let's go back now.
- OK.
Peter Watts was here.
Why would he kidnap a child? Wait a minute.
I wouldn'tjump to that conclusion.
We've got Millennium Group symbols all over the place, and Peter Watts sneaking around.
What conclusion would you jump to? I never had reason to doubt your commitment before, Rachel.
- You still don't.
- Who else could have let her go? - I didn't.
Too much was at stake.
- You spoke to her with kindness.
I thought in time she'd join us, for the child's sake.
Where is your vestment, Rachel? It was soaked at the delivery.
- Bring it to me.
- But why? It has to be cleaned.
Bring it to me.
It's not here.
The robe.
The robe.
That's impossible.
It's impossible.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I've been trying to trace the mineral water on Jeannie's robe.
- Any luck? - Not on that.
But I did find something else.
The fingerprint? Artificial skin, developed in Israel for burn victims.
The kidnappers graft it on, and no more fingerprints ever.
Good.
It fits.
Leaders of this Temple group are all radical activists.
- They feel they're running out of time.
- Think it's them? Well, they've never done anything like this before.
Wait, wait, stop.
On the shoulder there.
Can you enlarge that? All three.
Moses Gourevitch.
Born in New York, hero of the Six Day War.
In the Temple movement for 30 years.
I'll show them to Jeannie.
So, what have we got? Temple, skin Why Jeannie Borenstine? Cohen.
Cohen.
Ancient Israelites were divided into tribes.
The Kohens were traditional priests.
Jean Borenstine's maiden name was Cohen.
That's why they want her baby.
- They want him to be a priest? - To serve in the Temple.
To welcome the Messiah.
The Six Day War.
The Israelis took Jerusalem, but Dayan didn't take the Temple Mount.
He knew it would be a political disaster.
He gave control of the mosques back to the Arabs.
Now, a lot of people were disappointed, but some went off the deep end.
Your friend, Gourevitch He got caught planting explosives around those mosques five years ago.
Look at him.
He's been living with that betrayal for 30 years.
He's finally taking action.
I still don't get exactly how the Millennium Group fits in.
- Watts was at the hospital.
- We know they're involved.
Their prints are all over.
This whole case is shaping up to be about the End Times.
We'd be blind not to see it.
Agent Hollis, could you just give us a moment, please? You think the Group was behind this? Watts has been around, but I don't know why.
I want this baby returned to his parents alive.
That's all.
- Now, people are watching.
- What does that mean? Watching Hollis.
I brought her in because she was first in her class at Quantico, she's got an IQ over the moon.
This Group stuff.
I can't protect her forever.
Don't let her ruin her career.
Wait, wait a minute.
Something happened in there, don't pretend.
You hung me out to dry.
- You were wrong.
- You know something I don't? I'm saying the Group is not always what it seems.
You're not seeing what they're doing.
It's better to wait than to generalise.
- Sometimes waiting costs lives.
- Other times it saves them.
Your maiden name was Cohen.
- Why does that matter? - It could matter a great deal.
Jeannie, your maternal grandfather was Chief Rabbi of Philadelphia in 1932.
He was both a Cohen and a Levite, another priestly tribe.
Daniel, your grandfather was also a Cohen.
Your family's been in the rabbinate as far back as we can find records.
Their plan is to raise your son as a priest in the Third Temple.
- But there is no Third Temple.
- They believe there will be one soon.
But what will they do with him now? He's just a little baby.
They need him now to raise him unpolluted.
They have to be very careful to keep it that way.
What I went through, the birth in water The earth holds the dead, which would pollute him.
They can't allow him to touch the ground.
Wait a minute.
If he touches the ground, what would they do? I believe he's safe for right now.
They're gonna want to move him, out of the country possibly.
So if you can remember anything, even the smallest detail, it would help.
You say that they were speaking Hebrew.
Yes.
But I don't know any Hebrew.
Just once in a while, there would be words.
You know, words that were in English.
Somebody said "sandwich".
- This is ridiculous, it's not - No, that's good.
What else? I don't know.
Mirror, I think they said.
Or myrrh.
I don't know, I couldn't get it.
Subway.
Any particular subway line? No.
Look, I could have just dreamed half of this.
That doesn't necessarily make it untrue.
What is your son's name? Max.
We'll find Max.
The Messiah is coming.
We must prepare for him.
I would never subvert that plan.
You were the only one among us who could have helped the woman escape.
You dressed her in your vestments.
You wanted them to find us.
You're wrong.
Woman.
Betrayer from the time of Eve.
What do you want? I know you have a skewed picture of us and what we do.
I'd like to fix it.
Tell me where to find Gourevitch.
He used to be an ally of ours.
No longer.
Well, that's not what I asked.
Where is the baby? Or doesn't his life matter? We want to find that baby as much as you do.
We're trying to prevent an apocalypse, not start one.
That's what Gourevitch intends.
It's called "forcing the end".
Jewish groups believe that if they rebuild the Temple, the Messiah will come.
Christian groups believe it's the Antichrist, but that Christ will come to refute him.
Armageddon.
The Bible says it will happen.
These people are trying to make it happen.
By starting an all-out war in the Middle East.
That could be the end.
If you want to prevent these people causing total chaos, you have to think like they do.
See the signs they see.
So it's prophecy? It's Daniel, Ezekiel.
Revelation four, verse four.
"And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
" "Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes, before and behind.
" The woman stoned to death in Mt Moriah Park was Rachel Levinson.
- Horrible way to die.
- It was a trial and an execution.
She took Jeannie Borenstine home.
Gourevitch killed her for that.
The robe Jeannie had on when she was found is a ceremonial vestment.
Hair samples show it belonged to Rachel.
And that robe was made at Rothman's Vestments in Brooklyn.
I tracked it down.
Analysis of the mineral water found on Jeannie yielded nothing local.
But then I found out about a hot spring that ran underground here.
It's supposed to have dried up 50 years ago, but it's a capped site, it may be what we want.
It's an old Russian bathhouse, closed in 1948.
The building itself was condemned The old bathhouse triangulates exactly with the vestment company and Mt Moriah Park.
Gourevitch will have reconfigured the building, to mimic the layout of the Temple.
- So the baby will be on an upper floor? - As far off the ground as possible.
With the murder, Gourevitch will clear out.
All right.
Let's go get him.
Good work, Hollis.
Peter Watts contacted you? What did he want? To help me get the baby back.
I couldn't turn the information down.
If you accept their help, you pay a price.
If I hadn't accepted, the price would have been higher.
Knock it down.
They've come.
They've come! If you touch him I'll kill you.
Step away.
Let's go.
- Where are we going? - Shh.
- Please, give me the baby.
- Come on, let's go.
To the right.
Closer.
He can't land.
There's nowhere to land.
- Put it down.
- Please.
- Bring it down.
Bring it down.
- For God's sake, give me the baby.
Please, give me the baby.
He's not gonna make it.
Please, let me have him.
Hold it.
It can't work.
Just give me the baby, please.
Please.
Please.
Give me the baby.
"And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and voices," "And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God," "And before the throne there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes, before and behind," It's OK, it's OK.
Look at his lovely little face.
Thank you.
Everything Peter Watts said came true.
The throne, the beasts, the sea of glass.
If there is that kind of knowledge in the world, how can I not pay attention? I can't tell you what to do.
But I do know one thing, that nobody owns God or the truth.
If Peter Watts knew how the prophecy would reveal itself, - he knew where the baby was.
- And he made sure we'd find him.
He made sure Gourevitch wouldn't force the end.
If the end comes, the Group wants to be in control of it.
The individual in this case doesn't matter.
Who sent her home in a robe that would condemn Rachel Levinson to death? - Watts.
- Why didn't he send the baby home too? The baby was in another room, under guard.
Maybe Maybe it all had to work itself out in a certain way.
I don't believe that.
Do you? I don't know.
I made this!
