Best Laid Plans

Previously on Crisis We found them.
Nobody approaches us.
The house is rigged to explode.
Any trespass results in detonation.
I just checked on him.
Then check on him again.
- I'm real sick.
- I know.
This is coming to an end; it's gonna be over soon.
You need to think about what's going to happen next.
I thought that was you going to jail.
You need to listen to your lawyer's advice, Meg.
Take the Fifth.
We can help each other or we can hurt each other.
I just want my daughter back.
- No I.
D.
on him? - No, sir.
We're looking for a white male, nicknamed Buddy.
Get with security and have them run every man here through that filter.
Finley, right there.
- Kyle, I'm sick.
- You can have him now.
Who's here from transport? That'd be me.
You can have five kids right now.
We only need one thing from you: Secret Service Agent Marcus Finley.
He's here.
1x11 - Best Laid Plans The minefield will have a kill switch.
If you stay alive long enough to do anything, get to that.
Good luck, sir.
- When do we see the kids? - When Finley is 25 yards from the house, - we will send them.
- Come on, Gibson.
What are you doing? Stop there, please.
- Send the kids.
I'm here.
- Send the kids now.
Who has eyes on that door? I want to see in there right now.
This is Assault 3.
You have the image.
There.
That's Gibson there with the hostages.
He's not the one doing the talking.
Please advance towards the door.
When do the kids start walking? Send them.
Send them now.
Just keep going.
Don't look back.
Thank you.
Wayne Carter, Madison Alva, Ryan Carson, Zoe Richmond, Ty Harper.
Five, as promised, but not the one you're looking for.
Not the president's son, because today we have a message for President Devore.
Turn around, put your hands on your head.
Mr.
President, how far will you go, what would you do for your child? These are our demands if you call off the FBI: a plane to the country of our choosing, presidential pardons for all of us, including the parents of the children who've committed crimes.
You do this in the next three hours, and your son comes home.
Refuse, Mr.
President or fail and your son dies.
I have no idea what this is.
What did they do to him in there? It's better if I don't come out there.
I understand.
Whatever you decide, you have my support.
Of course.
I'll be monitoring the situation from here.
I understand, Mr.
President.
Hey, hey.
They are surrounded.
We will get them out.
- We will use everything.
- It won't be enough.
They took those kids.
They've done what they wanted.
They killed that boy.
They're gonna kill ours.
You know I can't do it.
You're the most powerful man in the world.
Give them what they want, please.
I can't.
What does any of this matter if Kyle is dead? I can't negotiate with kidnappers! Hey, Secret Service.
- You remember me? - Yeah.
- How you doing? - Better than you.
Take him to the hole.
It's almost over.
The world knows where you guys are.
We'll get you home! And take him back to the kitchen; it's question time.
No! No, no, no! No, no, no, please, no! Please, don't! No, no, please, no more! Hey, hey, hey, hey, he said they're gonna save us, okay? They're right outside.
They're right outside.
Shh, shh, shh.
We're gonna be okay.
He's gonna be okay.
If the house is rigged to explode and the kidnappers are ready to die, we can't breach without major loss of hostage life.
That wasn't Gibson we were just talking to.
No, it wasn't, but that doesn't mean that he's not in control.
Whoever was in control back there is using two parents: the president and a white supremacist.
I want to know what they have in common.
So exactly where is our Aryan brother, Mr.
Delman Birch, now? We don't have him, sir.
- What? - No, I I.
D.
'd him - at that work station right over there.
- That wasn't Delman Birch.
That was Landon Green, a 20-year FBI agent.
Someone got into our system and switched their I.
D.
s, sir.
We're increasing our cyber security, but this is Delman "Buddy" Birch.
- And, sir, he's been here.
- In the ICC? This is the surveillance footage.
Once we got the correct I.
D.
, we use facial recognition, and, well, I've isolated it for you.
That's Delman "Buddy" Birch.
What's he holding? That looks like a container, sir.
Full of the sick boy's blood.
Okay, I've got the president about to lose his kid, and I've got a neo-Nazi with a cooler full of blood and half a brick of C-4.
You find Buddy and you find out - what the hell he's up to.
- Yes, sir.
Sir? - What about Finley? - For now, he's on his own.
Gibson I know what Widener did to your daughter.
I know he threatened to kill Beth Ann.
Jonas, I'm assuming you told Agent Finley that Widener had threatened the life of my daughter.
- Francis - It's okay.
It's the truth.
You want to keep her safe, this is not the place for her.
End this! We can keep her safe.
Open a secure line.
- Can you hear me? - Copy.
We're gonna be making some calls.
Copy that.
- Agent Dunn.
- Yeah? National Guard found the medevac van Delman Birch left here in, abandoned.
He switched cars.
What surveillance do we have in that area? None.
It's outside the search grid.
We have a BOLO out for him now.
Go.
He's on a mission for Gibson.
Every attack has been against the CIA.
You, can you get me the Senate hearings schedule for today? - When is Widener there? - One moment, ma'am.
Director Widener was there all day yesterday, he'll be there all day today.
- Anything else you need? - No.
Demand was issued by the Ballard kidnappers to the President of the United States today.
With the FBI just outside of where the kidnappers are holding those hostages, it seems that Kyle Devore's life is now hanging in the balance.
Been listening to the news.
You got me and the U.
S.
president working for you today.
You just worry about what you need to do.
You just think about your son.
Did you do as I instructed? I have the blood, bought the suit and the C-4.
Are you where you need to be? Right out front.
I do this, I get my son, right? - Yes.
- What happened to your kid? Something must have happened to your kid make you hate like this.
Go now, Buddy.
Save your son.
- Now who the hell is this? - Who the hell is who? Get down! Find out right now who leaked that video call to the press.
Excuse me, ma'am.
We have some information on Delman Birch for you.
- Did you find his son? - No, something else.
What are what are you doing? We found out his son uses his mother's maiden name, not Birch.
His mother's maiden name is Hawkins, so he's Delman Delman Hawkins, missing in action.
Dad.
Is it really you? Yeah.
It's me.
I'm sick, Dad.
I brought something for that.
How does he seem? Well, he's not shaking anymore, but But what? But, uh, he's got this look in his eyes.
I've never seen it before.
What's been going on in here? Now, give your son the phone.
They told me he was missing in action.
I'm-I'm not giving him the phone until you tell me what they've done to my son in here.
Give me the phone.
This is Hawkins.
Hawkins, we met a long time ago when you were first selected for the program.
I'm sorry, I don't remember you.
A lot's happened since then.
Are you ready to receive orders? Yes.
Please authenticate that you have the authority to give them.
Francis you've never spoken these words.
And once you say them, once he hears them, there's no going back.
There is no going back.

Who do I have to kill? Buddy's son is Delman Hawkins.
One of the soldiers you and Finley pulled - from the Pakistani Embassy? - One of Widener's hit squad, and Widener is testifying on the hill right now.
All right, I'll increase security on the Hill.
- You get out there.
- I need to make a stop in Alexandria first.
The bulletin we put out for signs of C-4 usage came back a hit.
An explosion at a store in Alexandria with armored doors and windows.
- What kind of store? - Business forms.
- With armored doors and windows? - I know.
Black site.
The blood they took from that boy any sign of it yet? This just happened; they haven't processed the scene yet.
Go find out what our father-son team - was doing at that black site.
- Yes, sir.
Yeah.
It's for you, Miss Fitch.
Yes? Last time we spoke, I said we were just getting started.
Do something for me today, your daughter walks out of here.
Why should I believe you this time? The only thing you need to believe is that there was a dead boy in a barn, and a mother who put him there.
I know who you are, Francis.
We all do.
You are going to testify against Widener today.
I need you to take a weapon into that Senate hearing.
How? You've been counseled to plead the Fifth.
We will change your legal strategy.
- You have retained new counsel.
- And who is that? Hey.
How long do you think it's been? Since they gave your dad that demand? An hour.
He won't give in to them.
That Secret Service agent said they're coming in for us.
- They're gonna get us out.
- If they were gonna come in, they would've come.
These people here, they're smarter than the FBI.
But not smarter than your father.
He knew the FBI would be here soon.
He said he had a plan to get us out when that happened.
If my dad says he has a plan, then he has a plan.
It'll be okay.
Hey.
- What do you want? - Him.
Kyle.
Stand closer to him.
Put your arm around him, son.
Proof of life.
They all just saw me outside, so they know I'm better than any newspaper you could hold.
Yeah, you're quick.
Put your head down.
Lower your head.
- Your dad won't give in to them.
- I know.
Show me your face.
Hey, I said show me Get his gun, Kyle! Get his gun! Hey! Whoa! Whoa.
Now you stand there, still.
I can't shoot you yet, but I will break your knees! Sir? We need you in the control room.
"Sir?" I know you're not running the show.
You're not smart enough.
You're lucky I still need you.
We'll get him next time.
It's okay, Kyle; we'll get him next time.
Agent Finley.
What's his status? We don't know, sir.
What about Luke? The hostage they released.
How's he? Not good, ma'am.
They don't know what's wrong with him.
He's he's dying.
The doctors don't expect him to make the day.
You find out what they did to him.
You can't let him die.
Yes, ma'am.
If I may ask, sir, about your boy If you've decided to make a statement of any kind? Widener's on the Hill today.
CIA hearings have started.
I assume that's why Gibson is making this demand on me.
But you know that I can't.
This office can't give in to any demand.
- I understand.
- Director Olsen when the kidnappers call you to tell you that they're going to do it I want you to put that call through to us.
- I want to be there.
- Yes, ma'am.
Ms.
Fitch, are the allegations true? Ms.
Fitch, is your company involved in illegal CIA programs? Did you know about the soldiers held under the Pakistani Embassy? - Do you know who took your daughter? - Will you testify or take the Fifth? - That man will be joining us.
- What do you mean, joining us? - As outside counsel.
- What are you talking about? I use him for certain CIA matters, to keep a firewall between you and that part of the business.
You had outside counsel that I didn't know about? - Yes.
- Who is he really, Meg? Just do your job, Clayton, and remember - who you work for.
- Ms.
Fitch.
This is Kurt Heller.
He'll be joining our team as outside counsel.
He needs to be cleared to enter the Senate hearing with us.
We put his name in the system; I'm sure it's come up - on the list by now.
- I'll just check that out.
I.
D.
, please? - They're running it now.
- Copy that.
Mr.
Heller, you are clear.
I need a room where I can speak with Ms.
Fitch in private.
I'm sure we can find a room where these FBI agents won't mind waiting outside while we spoke.
I think Mr.
Heller wants to talk to me alone.
- Isn't that right? - Yes.
That's right.
Can I ask if you've seen my daughter? No.
But I have something for you.
- A two-way transmitter? - When we go in, you'll wear it.
- So Gibson can be in my head.
- I wouldn't know, ma'am.
Let me look at you.
I just want to see your eyes.
Pharmaceuticals.
My pharmaceuticals.
You're one of them.
- Can I ask your real name? - Hawkins.
I'm supposed to bring in a weapon.
And it's you, isn't it, Hawkins? You're the weapon.
Trace come back positive for C-4.
Took out the iron-barred window along with victim number one.
- Where's victim number two? - This way.
Have you ever seen anything like this? Actually, yeah.
Yeah, I have.
- Empty.
- Yeah, there were blood vials in it, but they're empty, too.
Over here.
- Waiting for an I.
D.
on that one.
- That's Delman Birch.
Blast didn't kill him.
Strangled.
Someone used his hands.
Suspect for this one is Delman Hawkins.
That's Mr.
Birch's son.
- What was going on in here? - You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
- I found the vials, but no blood.
- We're running out of time.
Something in his bloodstream is causing him to deteriorate rapidly.
Whatever's in Luke's blood was injected into another man.
- I need to know exactly what.
- What I think it is is an advanced cocktail of amphetamines.
I need the exact ingredients.
His organs are beginning to shut down.
He was strangled.
There are no bullet wounds.
- So, whose blood is this? - The only survivor.
From shrapnel wounds.
We didn't find him right away because he had managed to drag himself into that closet.
- Another agent like the woman out there? - This one had on a white lab coat.
- Where is he? - Bus took him five minutes - before you got here.
- Stop that ambulance so I can get to him.
Agent Finley? I killed Hurst.
- I know.
- Do my parents know what I did? Yes, Kyle, they do.
I had to.
Hurst was gonna kill Mr.
Gibson.
You did what you had to do, Kyle.
Your parents are proud of you.
Kyle, why exactly was Hurst trying to kill Mr.
Gibson? It was during the attack.
They were calling my name.
They were trying to get to me.
Hurst had a gun to Mr.
Gibson's head.
I had to Hurst shot you, Finley.
He's bad, right? He's one of them.
Kyle, you did the right thing.
Okay.
Okay, Kyle, I'm free.
Someone's coming.
Come here.
You let them in, and I take them out.
I get to the command center, I turn off the mines, and we go home, okay? No, they are going to kill me today.
No, they're not.
Nice move with the pipe.
You don't think we have cameras? I'm not getting anywhere near you.
Let's go, Finley, or I put one through both of you.
This man needs to be moved.
This man needs to answer some questions, and then he can go.
- Where's Hawkins? - I don't know.
But he walked out of here.
He's operational again.
He was injected with blood taken from a dying boy.
Is that how they got the cocktail into Hawkins? It must be.
Well, it's killing that boy, and I don't want to see any more dead kids, so this is what's gonna happen.
You're gonna talk to the doctor and you're gonna tell him exactly what was in it so we can save his life; are we clear? Only Clarenbach knows exactly.
I'll do my best.
Agent Dunn, patch me through to quarantine.
Agent Finley, they're going to question you.
- Like they questioned me.
- Do I get dinner with this show? No, listen to me.
They set up Hurst, they It's his turn to talk now.
I want to know every piece of equipment.
Every law enforcement agency.
How many agents, how many soldiers, where they are now.
You should ask somebody else.
Is this where Hurst shot you? The minefield will have a kill switch.
Get to that.
They will keep beating you, Agent Finley! What's the count matter? Just tell them! - Just-just tell them! - I'm not buying it, Gibson.
- What are you looking for? - Someone who knows how to hit.
Take him back to the hole.
Take that one back to gen pop.
Unlock these.
I've got work to do.
We've already warned Capitol Police to be on the lookout, but you should be, too.
Hawkins, one of Widener's hit squad is unaccounted for.
You think Hawkins is coming here? Widener's about to testify.
If Gibson follows his pattern, then the target is CIA.
Thank you for warning me, Suzie.
I'll see you when you get here.
She'll be here in 15 minutes.
She'll recognize me.
Delay her.
No, if I do anything, she'll know something's wrong.
If we fail, your daughter dies.
Can you hear me? You were told not to use this transmitter until you were inside the hearing.
We won't get inside the hearing.
Not without your help.
Agent Dunn cannot get into that hearing room.
Copy that.
Capitol Police dispatch, Zero-18, go ahead.
This is FBI Incident Command, Baker Three Alpha.
Be advised, you have an inbound security threat.
Suspect is a white female, 30, impersonating an FBI agent.
Sending you her photo now.
Ms.
Fitch, you've been called.
FBI Agent Dunn.
Which way is the hearing? Chairman, this so-called "massacre video" that was released online was not a part of a CIA operation.
Nor do we have any records that the individuals involved have ever worked for our agency.
She got Hawkins in.
We can't even find the records of the victims, which You will abandon the statement your lawyers have prepared for you.
You will say what I tell you to say.
If you obey, I will release Amber immediately.
If you disobey, I will kill Amber.
Tell me you understand.
I understand.
And my sister is unharmed? Thank you, Director Widener.
At this time, the committee would like to call Porter Pearce CEO Meg Fitch.
Ms.
Fitch, you've been called today to answer allegations that your company is linked to that horrible video showing American servicemen shooting innocent civilians.
I welcome the opportunity, Mr.
Chairman.
I welcome the opportunity, Mr.
Chairman.
Please raise your right hand.
Do you swear that the testimony you give before this Senate committee today will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? I do.
I understand that you'd like to read an opening statement.
Ms.
Fitch? - Ms.
Fitch? - Meg? Mr.
Chairman, it was my intention to make a statement and then to assert my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
But the truth is But the truth is that my company designed and manufactured a drug for a secret CIA program run by Director Widener.
The drug chemically suppresses the user's sense of morality and self-preservation.
Director Widener administered our drug to unsuspecting U.
S.
Special Forces Director Widener administered our drug to unsuspecting U.
S.
Special Forces soldiers selected to be a part of a special CIA unit.
- Mr.
Chairman, I'd like to respond - An illegal and unsanctioned unit with a mission to assassinate Americans whom Director Widener designated as enemies of the state.
Mr.
Chairman! That's got to hurt.
Now ask them to show the tape.
Tell them you can shed some light on it.
You will release Agent Dunn immediately and put her on the phone.
Yes, sir.
Sir, this wasn't a misunderstanding.
This was Gibson.
- He's got a mole in our system.
- We're on that here.
Dunn, there's only one reason he'd delay you.
Hawkins must be here.
This video wasn't recorded in a foreign country.
It was taken in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
This video wasn't recorded in a foreign country.
It was taken in Gaithersburg, Maryland, at the home of human rights activist Stanley Travis.
When Mr.
Travis discovered what we were doing and threatened to go to the press - You're shot? - What? You got a hole right through you; you can't feel that? Director Widener sent his death squad to make Mr.
Travis and his family disappear.
Director Widener sent his death squad to make Mr.
Travis and his family disappear.
- We're killing kids? - No, we're killing everybody.
There was no death squad.
The first time I saw this video is when it appeared on the Internet.
A drug that inhibits morality that we give to soldiers that makes them kill women and children, to kill each other? Say nothing, Meg.
Ms.
Fitch That was the only time that ever happened.
The only time we killed each other.
The first generation of the drug was unstable.
They smoothed it out after that.
It works real well now.
Get away from my wife.
- Sir, exactly who are you? - Hawkins, Del.
Sergeant First Class.
- You're the man in that video.
- Yes, sir, I am.
You ordered us to kill innocents.
- Is he gonna kill her? - That is entirely up to Widener.
Why are you afraid of me, sir if there is no death squad? If I didn't kill those people, why are you afraid of me? Please, just step away from my wife.
You're going to have to order me to do it.
I order you to step away from my wife.
Authenticate it.
Authenticate it, sir.
Authenticating.
Lawn chair.
Griffin.
Broken stick.
Harbor.
Rusty chain.
- Smoke.
- Authenticated.
- What are my orders? - Stand down.
FBI! Hands behind your head! On your knees now! It's over, Francis.
You got him.
Destroy my notebooks.
Sergeant Hawkins, on your knees now! In a surprise development today, the head of the CIA all but admitted to using illegal death squads to assassinate innocent American civilians.
Delman Hawkins, you're under arrest.
I have no more orders.
Del, you killed your father today.
- Why did you do that? - He wanted me to go with him.
Kept calling me "son," said he was going to help me.
And you don't feel anything about that? I don't feel anything about any of them until this wears off.
Agent Dunn, I'd appreciate it if you'd put a bullet in my head.
Let's go.
Come on.
You remember the questions? I remember a play my niece was in.
She gave a better performance.
How many agents? How many soldiers? What's the plan?! You don't want to talk? Fine.
I'll let you sit back and watch.
You're gonna love this next part.
Bring him in.
Mr.
Gibson? Finley? Devore, your parents need to know what happens if they fail.
Set it up! Mr.
Gibson? Finley? Whatever you're gonna do to him, do it to me! No one cares about you.
Turn the feed on! No, no, no! Please, you don't have to do this.
Do it to me! You hear me?! We asked a question of the president earlier today.
We're waiting for our answer now.
Look, we have your plane fueled and ready for takeoff.
Turn off the mines, and we'll bring the bus right to your door.
Thing is, if you're complying with our demands, why are you still here? The First Lady asked to be patched in on this.
Should I do that? Mom, someone, do something, please.
Oh, my God.
Help me, please.
Sir, we can go, but if the place - is rigged to explode, they'll all die.
- I know.
Please, I don't want to die.
We're ready for our pardons, Mr.
President.
Dad, please, do-do something! I want an answer this second! Ten, nine - You don't want to do this.
- eight, seven, six, five - I'm sorry.
- four, three - I don't want to die.
- two This is what happens when you say no to our demands, Mr.
President! Kyle what happened? You think I only have one bullet? No, please.
There's no sense in shooting him when you don't have an audience.
Please.
Please.
I did what I could.
They're still gonna kill him.
- They shot you.
- I'm aware of that.
You son of a bitch, they shot you.
You shot him with a real bullet.
Why would I shoot him with a fake one? - Why would you shoot him at all? - He told me to.
No, he told you to shoot Kyle.
Then he risked his life - trying to stop you from shooting Kyle.
- I was never gonna shoot Kyle.
But the president said no to the miss mission.
Saying no was the mission.
We force the president to say no, the world knows that means we kill his son.
As soon as they see Gibson take a bullet for him Mr.
Gibson all-American hero.
- So that's why Finley's really here.
- As an eyewitness to the shooting.
We need him to swear it really happened.
That all makes sense except for the part where Gibson dies from a gunshot wound.
- We'll be long gone before he bleeds out.
- And how exactly do we get out? I have good news, Agent Dunn.
We isolated what was in the boy's blood.
He's gonna be fine.
Thank you, Doctor.
- You snuck Hawkins into that room.
- For Amber.
- You had me delayed.
- For Amber and for you.
I didn't know what was gonna happen in that room, Susie.
But if she gets out, I want her to know you.
- Answer it.
- Dunn.
A hostage was just released.
I'm standing here with Amber Fitch.
She'd very much like to speak to her mother.
Uh It's for you.
Mom?
