Intelligence (2014) s01e05 Episode Script

The Rescue

The two hottest guys ever walk into that bar, And they want to hang out with us.
But, no, someone has to go back to the dorm.
Yeah, well, excuse me if I don't want to slut it up.
Excuse me if I do.
Oh, look at those eyes.
He smokes.
So? So, yuck.
He better call me, or I'm gonna kill you.
Hmm.
Power must be out.
Do you smell cigarette smoke? Aah! No.
No! Don't make a sound.
Hopes of securing an extension Of unemployment benefits for 1.
3 million Good morning.
I got to get out of here.
The speaker called.
He wants a quick meet before committee.
Although there is still a chance That the program will resume, The earliest that congress will revisit the legislation Is at the end of next January.
Thank you.
What's that? No idea.
Thomas, what is this? Oh, dear god.
Lillian, weatherly's here.
I know.
He's with -- I know who he's with.
Gentlemen.
I cued the video for you.
I'm told you have a sensitive situation.
Is there any other kind? Late night.
Kennedy center.
Yo-yo ma.
Saudi royals.
I heard you brought a video.
She's a college student at the university of arizona.
The girl on the left is mackenzie bradshaw, Daughter of tom bradshaw, senior senator from arizona, Chairman of the foreign-relations committee.
The satellite is the geo-9 That we're selling to mexico, right? Is counting on it to provide border security, If the senate foreign-relations committee votes "yea.
" That vote is the day after tomorrow.
So, someone is blackmailing a u.
S.
Senator To keep the satellite deal from going through.
Not just any someone -- hector villareal.
He's the head of the biggest drug cartel in mexico.
He stands to lose hundreds of millions If the satellite deal goes through.
And why target bradshaw? Bradshaw chairs the committee.
He can withdraw the proposal.
If you want the satellite to go away, Bradshaw's the one you go after.
So, why bring this to cybercom? The senator didn't bring it to cybercom.
He didn't bring it to anyone.
The senator and his wife watched the video together, And afterwards, he went to the capitol building As if nothing had happened.
They don't know that you have the video.
Mnh-mnh.
Would you care to explain Why it is that you're in possession of it? No, I wouldn't.
What exactly is your job these days? Friend of the court.
Look, this thing has to be done right, rooster, Without grandstanding, without politics.
I'll wait in the hall.
I told you to never call me that.
I am the director of u.
S.
Cyber command, And you'll afford me the respect I deserve.
If I didn't respect you, would I be here? You are so damn relentless.
Do you know that? You get that from me, I guess.
Lillian, if it goes public That the daughter of a u.
S.
Senator Was snatched by a mexican drug cartel You've already cleared this with the president, haven't you? The president recommended clockwork.
Lillian, we have to find these girls.
Okay.
One of our nation's most decorated soldiers.
He's a hero, and now our country's most secret weapon.
Gabriel possesses a rare genetic mutation That allowed us to implant a microchip in his brain.
We connected his mind directly to the information grid.
It's something the chip does that nobody expected.
I can create a virtual snapshot of an event in my mind And then walk through it.
It's like a virtual evidence wall.
We created a highly specialized unit around him Satellite in five.
And assigned an agent to protect him.
Run! He's the first of his kind -- The next evolution of intelligence.
Hector villareal is on the u.
N.
's most wanted list And yet has remained virtually untouchable.
The new mexican president And his relationship to our president Is changing that, and hector is worried.
Son of a shop owner in san miguel de allende, Hector sits on a multi-billion-dollar High-tech drug empire.
His network uses everything From mules to submarines to ship his product.
So, why kidnap the daughter of a u.
S.
Senator? In less than 48 hours, senator bradshaw's committee Will vote to recommend the sale Of the geo-9 satellite system to mexico.
Bradshaw could kill the sale if he wanted to.
Our military believes that this satellite It could cripple the illegal-narcotics trade.
Apparently, hector agrees.
If bradshaw won't withdraw the proposal, Can't the president just postpone the vote? Better yet, why not send in a special-forces unit? Well, the first option would result in hector Killing the girls.
Without knowing where he's holding them -- And also risks their lives.
Who's sitting with the senator on this? Fbi? The senator doesn't even know that we're on problem.
And their biggest problems were boys and midterms.
Now it's hector villareal.
Now hector's about to meet his biggest problem.
Start in arizona.
See what you can learn at the scene.
Let's find those girls and show the cartel what happens When you cross our border and harm our kids.
On our way.
What's with big ben? Like it? Accurate to the hundredth of a second.
Four seconds slow.
I chipped the maritime clock.
Show-off.
Getting nostalgic? If I knew I'd have a chip in my brain, I could have avoided all that studying.
I'm sure there was a lot of studying.
plus three sports Didn't leave a lot of time to eat.
Mm-hmm.
I guess there's always room for dessert.
It's eerie being the first on scene.
If the senator reported it, it would be all over the news.
We've got maybe 24 hours before their dorm mates Notice they're missing.
Let's see if they left something.
Gabriel.
Belongs to samantha royce.
I'm in her instagram account.
Photo taken 15 minutes before witnesses said The girls left the bar.
Shows samantha with a guy.
Can we find out who? His passport was recorded by customs this morning As it crossed the border into san jerónimo, mexico.
He was driving a truck.
What are the odds Samantha and mackenzie were hidden on that truck? ¿habla inglés? Sí, yes.
We're looking for your son -- carlos.
I haven't seen him in many days.
Señora reyes, we're trying to help your son.
Carlos is a good boy.
We don't want to make any more trouble for you.
What trouble could you cause more -- More than the trouble that they can? UmThis is my cellphone number.
I want you to have carlos call me.
I told you I have not seen him.
Just in case.
If you help us, we can protect you.
We can give you asylum in the United States.
Please, I -- I would like you both to leave now.
I got a cell number off her phone bill.
Can you chip the phone? I did.
Which means I can't trace it until they make a call.
We've got eyes on us.
You didn't touch these girls, right? No, jefe.
Is he lying to me? No.
These girls don't need a gag.
Do you? No.
Good.
Hopefully your father is as smart as you.
Please help my friend.
She needs water.
You, come with me.
And bring that one.
Oh, no.
- No.
No.
No, take me instead.
No, take me! No, take me instead! Take me! I'll go.
I Hey Don't make me sorry I took the gag out.
Okay, pretty girl? Okay? Okay.
Lillian still hasn't made contact with senator bradshaw.
Why not? They've ordered her not to.
Maybe they don't want the senator to know His own government's watching him.
Gabriel.
That's the number I got off luisa's phone bill.
That's carlos.
Answer it.
Hola.
Hello.
Hello? Is anyone there? Nothing, but the line's still open.
I've got a cell signal.
He hung up.
It's okay.
I'm in the cell network.
We're 1.
3 miles away from the phone that made that call.
This feels super safe.
Cellphone signal's coming from inside the trunk.
No.
Hang on, gabriel.
Trunk's open.
I said stay back.
If that cellphone is connected to an explosive Good point.
I have an idea.
What are you doing? Trunk has a hydraulic spring-load.
Oh, god.
Hola, carlos.
They're taunting us.
They must have talked to carlos' mother.
They knew we'd track the cellphone here.
Hector's a cool customer.
Oh, god.
Really? Someone wants to say hello.
I don't want to be rude.
This what you were looking for? Hector villareal, I presume? The senator violated our agreement.
He wasn't supposed to call the authorities.
He didn't have to.
You're not as smooth as you think you are.
Open the laptop.
Don't worry.
Open it.
Careful.
Have you heard of the mexican jumping bean? Hector, you don't want to do this.
What is a mexican jumping bean? Pull the pin from the grenade.
When she loses consciousness, the grenade falls.
You must have spent some time in ciudad de mexico, my friend.
As you can see, this poor girl is not doing very well.
I give her Five minutes longer? Then you can call her parents And tell her you watched her die.
Oh, by the way, tell obregon It didn't have to be like this.
Who's obregon? I've got a signal on the laptop.
Lillian, they're gonna kill samantha.
I have a lock on the location.
There was something else.
He mentioned someone named obregon.
As far as I know, This is a new name in all of this, right? Yes, it is.
Skycom 1.
You should be able to access it right now.
I don't see any bogeys.
Two-room house.
She's in the front room.
Doesn't seem like anyone's in the back.
I don't like it.
We could stay out here, and that girl dies.
You're okay.
You're okay.
You all right? Yeah.
I came as soon as I heard.
You got samantha.
Well done.
What about the bradshaw girl? Not yet.
We have less than Yes, I'm aware of that.
Can samantha help us at all? Dad Hector mentioned someone named obregon.
Any idea who that is? No.
Well, we did some searching To see if there was something in our system -- Operation names, agents' aliases, et cetera.
And? Nothing.
But then I got to thinking, Maybe he was referring to the famous obregón, The mexican president in the 1920s.
Go on.
Obregón and pancho villa Were fierce enemies during the revolution.
Pancho became a folk hero, Forcing obregón to make an uncomfortable peace with him.
But pancho was paranoid, Always waiting for obregón's men to assassinate him.
Paranoid, but correct Which goes to prove what I always told you -- Peace is beautiful, but -- but not to be trusted.
You remember.
I remember everything you taught me, dad, Including the story of the mexican revolution.
You're obregon, aren't you? And hector is pancho villa, the misunderstood folk hero.
You know each other.
I miss you, kid.
When were you going to tell me That hector villareal is on the payroll Of the u.
S.
Government? I want all cards face up right now.
Hector was our "whitey" bulger.
The fbi fed bulger to help them bring down the mafia.
But he was supposed to operate within certain parameters, And whitey strayed outside those parameters.
And an fbi agent is sitting in prison now for that deal.
Hector gave us the names, All the intel on his competitors, People far worse than him.
In return, we laid off him.
Vintage leland strand.
Lillian, we seized thousands of tons of cocaine Based on hector's intel.
We brought down some real monsters crossing the border.
How did you get that video? Were you surveilling the senator or hector? Well, we knew hector was unhappy with the geo-9.
He had made some threats.
So, prophylactically, we got the nsa to monitor All comint into and out of the committee.
We didn't anticipate the kidnapping.
That was bold, even for hector.
You adopted a lion cub, fed it raw meat, When it grew up liking the taste of blood.
What do you want me to do? He's your asset.
Control him.
Lives are at stake.
I know.
Get a leash on your lion, dad.
Hakuna matata.
Senator? Senator? Senator? Um, looking, uh, at the numbers and -- And what it's gonna take to support those numbers, I just don't see how we're gonna push this thing Across the finish line.
Are you talking about Postponing the satellite sale to mexico? Thank you very much.
Tom, we all spent half a million On your re-election campaign Because you assured us of this sale.
Sir, your daughter's on the phone.
Excuse me.
Baby? Not your baby.
What do you want? Question for you -- Why are two u.
S.
Intelligence officers In mexico looking for your daughter? I-I-I don't know.
I had nothing to do with it, though.
Is mackenzie okay? You were warned, senator.
You gave me your word.
And if a man can't trust a politician -- My word is still good.
I didn't have anything to do with them.
I swear to god they're not mine.
Men like us don't believe in god, Not after the things we've seen.
I believe there is a god, sir.
You'd better hope you're right, senator.
If you fail to honor our agreement I cannot guarantee your daughter's safety.
I just want my daughter back.
I'll stall the legislation.
That the satellite transfer to mexico doesn't go through.
We shall see.
How is she? She's stabilized.
Good.
I don't get it.
How does lillian's father fit into all of this? Not sure.
I saw him at the white house a lot When I was on presidential detail.
I never really knew what he did.
Imagine growing up with that guy, Worried the tooth fairy's gonna slit your throat.
He did something right.
She's incredibly driven.
Or still seeking his approval.
That stuff's hard to shake.
That's why everyone in my family Ended up dying on some dusty battlefield somewhere.
I'm the fifth vaughn to go to war, First one to survive it.
My old man was a folded flag on the mantel.
It's some country song nobody wants to hear.
Is there a country song anyone wants to hear? We'll talk about that later.
Samantha.
Where's mackenzie? We're gonna find her With your help.
About the place they were holding you? Even the tiniest detail might help.
The room was s-small, And you had to go down some stairs to get to it.
There were three, maybe four men.
They had the tv on all the time.
Do you know what they were watching? There was cheering on the tv, and they would cheer, But it was in spanish.
Soccer.
They were watching soccer.
Soccer.
That's good.
Anything else? It s-sounds crazy, but Outside, it sounded like animals.
Animals? Like a jungle -- lions, elephants.
You've been very helpful.
Get some rest.
Lions and elephants? I know.
Hang on.
I'm chipping the local cable company, Isolating subscribers of the soccer channel.
Wow.
Apparently mexico loves soccer.
I'm getting thousands of hits.
Is there a zoo or something, an animal sanctuary? Not anywhere close.
How are we gonna find this girl? Wish I knew.
Bueno.
Hola, hector.
¿qué tal, jefe? I had a feeling I might hear from you.
What do you want, leland? I'm calling to give you some business advice.
Do I look like I need your advice? Do you remember when we played golf with noriega? You are comparing me to that monkey? Hector, noriega was the president Of an actual nation.
And when he pissed us off, We sent 25,000 troops in to arrest him.
The game has changed.
Creo que no.
The only thing that changed the game Was you kidnapping two american girls.
I delivered monsters to you on a silver platter, Made you look good, and what do you do in return? You put an eye in the sky to shut down my business.
You broke your word to me, cabrón! That was not me.
It was others, hector.
And I'm prepared to make you an offer.
Killing the satellite deal Is the only offer I am interested in.
The satellite is going through.
Then we have nothing to talk about, hermano.
But I'm prepared to give you the codes.
You have my attention.
You'll have access to the satellite At any given time and the intel it gathers.
The codes for the girl, hector, And your word that nothing like this can ever happen again.
I am not stupid.
I take the deal, you will simply change the codes.
Take the deal, hermano.
It's the best you're gonna get.
We have a deal.
Deal? What deal? You're not gonna like it any more than I do, But we're getting mackenzie out of there.
I'm sending the location of the drop point To your navigator.
We're gonna do this.
We're gonna bring that girl home.
Do you see them? No, not yet.
I don't like this.
You should be up here.
I should be down there.
We talked about this.
You're a better shot with that rifle than I am.
And you're following my orders.
Okay, here we go, guys.
We're entering from the southwest.
Just get the girl, put her in the car, Unless he asks me to dance, in which case I'm gonna break out my cha-cha.
Stay focused.
I vote for the cha-cha.
Riley.
Just one of you bring the girl! Sólo uno! I have a bad feeling about this.
Sólo uno! Riley, take a few steps back.
Wait.
Sólo uno.
Wait.
Where are you going? Sólo uno.
Wait.
Where are you going? Hey, gabriel, at the s.
U.
V.
Wait! No! Riley, get out of there! Lillian.
Riley, pull back now.
Wait.
You're coming with us.
Drop the gun Gabriel, do you have a shot? - No.
Do you want her to die?! Riley, go now! Poner la pistola or I kill her! Riley, go! Riley, get out of there! You want her dead? I'll kill her! Riley, pull back now.
I can't.
I can't leave her.
Damn it! And slow.
No.
No! Gabriel.
I don't have a shot.
No! No! No! I'm a federal agent.
We're here to get you home.
Are you okay? I-I don't understand.
We were double-crossed.
Wait.
They took samantha.
And I don't know where she is.
No, we have samantha.
She's safe.
They're gonna kill us.
Mackenzie.
They -- they're gonna kill us.
Mackenzie, look at me.
Look at me.
We have to rely on each other, okay? That's how we're gonna get out of here.
Do you understand? Mackenzie? Mackenzie, do you understand? Okay? Okay.
We can do this.
Okay.
Consider this a clear message.
I am no longer taking orders from you.
But I am not an animal.
Take the geo-9 satellite off the table, And I will receive this as goodwill Towards our new relationship.
Then you can have the young ladies back, hmm? I want an analysis on that video right away.
These guys are pros.
This is gonna take some time.
Until we find something we can use.
You don't have to.
I've got enough from that video to cyber-render.
This is the cyber-render.
I'm in.
I see riley and mackenzie.
They've been roughed up, but I think they're okay.
The watch.
Watch? What watch? She had it on in the s.
U.
V.
, Only she was wearing it on the other wrist.
It's stopped.
Wouldn't that make sense in a render? She stopped it.
23 minutes.
She's telling us how long she drove after the ambush.
The second dial -- she set it at 12:15.
That's due east.
She's guiding us right to her.
Okay, I'm in the mexican telecable database.
There's a house in the area That has a recent acquisition Of an expensive international sports package.
Let me guess -- soccer.
You got it.
I'm bringing up satellite images on the position.
Got it.
I have a location.
Hang on.
I'm coming to get you.
Elephant burgers.
Found our jungle.
He goes in alone? I'm in their cams.
Ramon's inside, three guards.
Riley and mackenzie must be in the basement.
I'm going to trigger their security alarm.
There's a storm door, far end of the house.
It must lead to the basement.
You sure took your time.
Couldn't decide what to wear.
Nice trick with the watch.
You're jealous now, aren't you? You all right? Yeah.
Gabriel, right behind you.
It's hector villareal.
Gabriel, you're not authorized to take hector in.
Stand down and let him go.
What are you talking about? I've got him in my sights.
What are you talking about? We have the girl.
Your agent is safe.
Hector villareal is not your concern.
There are lots of killers in the world, lillian.
Many of them are at our washington galas.
Secure the girl and stand down, gabriel.
Son of a bitch.
Daddy! Kenzie.
I'm so sorry.
I never meant for any of this.
We know, baby.
We know.
We are forever grateful.
Today an historic piece of legislation Passed in the senate intelligence committee, Forging a new chapter in the cooperation Between the United States and the mexican government Involving border security.
Senator tom bradshaw, the legislation's sponsor, Didn't stop to answer -- We should be taking hector down.
It's not your call.
If we had to stop working with murderers And drug dealers and despots, We'd never get anything accomplished.
After all he's done, you're still protecting him.
You have any idea what it took To order my agent to stand down? For the greater good, lillian.
According to who? You know, when I first got to langley, The director said to me, "you think you know what evil's out there.
You have no idea.
" Did he tell you to get into bed with that evil? It's not a perfect world.
But we can make it better.
A great man taught me that.
The house is a mess.
What are you talking about? It's spotless.
Well, it finally feels like home.
You were worried about me.
No, I wasn't.
If you say so.
Well, you look pretty good For a girl who's been through the wringer.
Now, that sounds like a country song.
Good night, gabriel.
Hector? How did you get this number? I believe you know my father.
You're lillian, leland's daughter.
I've heard a lot about you.
You haven't heard everything.
Congratulations.
You won this one.
That's very gracious of you.
However, this satellite business Will make peace between us very difficult.
You should have taken my father's offer.
You crossed the line, hector.
Oh, yeah? What line is that? The border.
If your government wants to do business with me, You'll give me what I want.
Or you can find yourself another mexican.
Yes, well, I already have.
What? What are you talking about? Everything all right? Better.
Shall we? There's no place I'd rather be.
