01x12 - Alex

Post by bunniefuu »

My name is Alex Parrish. I'm an FBI agent. In July, a t*rror1st blew up Grand Central terminal in New York. Nine months before that, I was still a trainee. These people were my friends... at least, I thought they were. One of them is a t*rror1st. And now I'm racing to find out who they are before they strike again.

My son made a plan... an att*ck. He's up for parole.

Charlie, who did this to you?

Clayton: Your girlfriend.

Been giving away money to a woman she says is her sister.

You got what you wanted... setting me up.

I got a call from someone.

They disguised their voice. I had no choice.

Hey!

It's safe. You can let it go.

Alex: We found the b*mb.

[expl*si*n]

The b*mb in the hotel was a decoy.

But what was his plan? What blew up?

Alex: The Command Center.

[Camera shutters clicking]

[Clears throat]

I believe that Elias Harper did not act alone.

I was there in that hotel room, and I know in my heart that every word about his being manipulated is true.

That was Special Agent Alex Parrish giving her first day of testimony at the hearing to investigate the deadly att*cks in New York City more than three months ago.

Parrish still believes that Harper, the man the FBI Claims is responsible for the deaths of hundreds, including 32 FBI agents, was actually just the fall guy for a t*rror1st mastermind who remains at large.

And now her claims are gaining widespread acceptance.


The FBI is just going after Alex again, but she'll prove everyone wrong, just like after Grand Central.

Woman: That's making Parrish, the FBI's former most wanted, also its most controversial.

Many in Washington feel Parrish is just playing on people's fears... that includes vice presidential candidate Claire Haas.

Her husband, Executive Assistant Director Clayton Haas, was one of the 32 agents k*lled in the second att*ck.


There is no doubt in any reasonable person's mind that, despite his claims, Elias Harper acted alone.

You can put the game back on, Mike.

And I, along with my colleagues...

[Indistinct conversations]

On the house. Keep your chin up.

Thanks.

Can I buy you another?

My drinks are free, and you're not my type.

Really?

♪ Pretty, if the sun won't shine ♪

All right.

How 'bout I list five things about you to prove that I'm right and if any of them are false, you get to sit down and buy me a drink.

Go.

One, you're vain.

You just had your teeth whitened a couple months ago instead of getting that cavity filled in your bottom right molar... shows up when you smile.

Two, you're materialistic.

That Bremont on your wrist probably costs more than I make in a month, which brings me to three... you do this a lot.

Your friend over there bailed as soon as we started talking.

You're used to girls falling all over you in bars, even though, four, you've never really had a meaningful relationship.

No one's ever broken your heart 'cause you've never let a woman close enough, which tells me, five, you're bad news.

You're not interested in anything real.

So I, uh, can't sit, then?

No.

You don't get to sit. But...

I can't.

Uh, at least let me get your number.

With my clearance, I can get any number I want... even yours.

We'll see about that, now, won't we?

Pollard: The second half of your training begins now, and it's not gonna get any easier.

Parrish, you're dragging.

[Sighs]

Good form. Keep it up.

What happened to us?

We used to be the top in our class at P.T.

We just let ourselves get distracted.

Have you heard from Booth?

No. Nothing.

[Sighs] You're lucky.

Being followed around by your ex all day gets old fast.

Well, so is being booty-called by Bitmoji every night.

That's it. Starting right now, the only thing we focus on is our training.

We block out all the noise.

Preach.

[Whistle blows]

Let's go.

Maxwell: Do you remember what any of your kidnappers looked like?

I already told my mom.

They had me blindfolded the whole time.

Did they have accents?

American.

Nothing special.

[Sighs]

Why don't you tell me about your escape?

There's nothing much to say.

They didn't tie me up tight enough.

Charlie, Agent Maxwell is just trying to find the men who did this to you.

Well, ma, I can't remember what I can't remember.

Why don't you step outside for a second?

Let me talk to Agent Maxwell alone.

[Door closes]

How's your family?

I still remember the look on your mom's face at graduation.

Look, Miranda.

He's tired.

I know.

He hasn't slept for days.

I know.

He just needs more time.

The terror cell that took Charlie is part of the Islamic front.

We believe they're planning an att*ck here, as we speak.

Out of respect for you and everything you taught, I can give you one more day.

But if Charlie doesn't start bringing us names, faces, I'm gonna need to bring him down to the field office, and you won't be allowed to be present.

Miranda: Trainees, meet the class above you.

They are one month ahead of you in their training, which means they're better, faster, and smarter than you.

And more prepared for what's to come.

In the field, you will face off against enemies who are always one step ahead of you.

That's why, today, you'll face off with a class of nats that is that step ahead.

We like to think of this as Quantico's version of color wars.

Or, as I like to call it, the turning point.

The grading for this exam will be very simple.

Yeah, I love orphaning my cases for a babysitting detail.

What are you doing?

Comparing Elias's cellphone records that the Bureau submitted as evidence against those of the cellphone company's internal records to see if there have been any omissions or keystroke errors.

You know, I mean, mistakes happen... I'm living proof.

You know, if you change your statement, you can come back to work.

No, no, no.

The only reason why I'm not at work is because Liam and Miranda put me on "trauma leave."

And you know what? I was in that hotel.

I was with Elias. I heard what he said.

I...

So did I.

And I spent weeks, along with Ryan, Shelby, Simon, the twins, and The Bureau, trying to find a single piece of evidence that supported the mastermind theory, and there wasn't any.

He made it up to stall us.

He just wanted to get everyone into the bank that mattered.

Just because you don't find evidence doesn't mean there isn't any.

We need to find the needle.

There is no needle.

If there was a second t*rror1st out there, something else would have happened by now.

[Police radio chatter]

You'll tell Alex Parrish what I said?

Cop: Why don't you come down?

And you can tell her yourself.

I can't do that. I'm sorry.

Stop!

[Distorted voice] Listen very carefully.

There's a b*mb underneath Grand Central.

It was placed there by an FBI agent, part of a class that entered Quantico last September.


I understand the bureau has assembled a version of this 911 call with the voice unscrambled.

May we hear that now?

[Normal voice] Listen very carefully.

There's a b*mb underneath Grand Central.

It was placed there by an FBI agent, part of a class that entered Quantico last September.

You need to evacuate immediately.


Do you recognize the voice on that recording, Mr. Asher?

[Camera shutters clicking]

Elias Harper.

He blew up Grand Central, and then, four days later, he blew up the FBI's emergency command center.

[Camera shutters clicking]

And do you believe Elias Harper acted alone?

Let me remind you we are an impartial committee, and it's important the views you express here today are yours and yours alone.

I'll ask again...

Do you believe Elias Harper acted alone?

Yes, sir. I do.

[People murmuring]

Mr. Asher, how are you so certain?

Because I've spent the last three months of my life taking apart everything Elias ever said to me.

I walked away from the bureau...

This city...

My entire life, all so that I could make sense of what happened.

And there is not a doubt in my mind that Elias Harper acted alone.

He hated the FBI.

He made his career taking apart their cases in court.

The att*cks were Elias' way of making a statement, and 32 agents paid the price for it.

Miranda: He won't talk to me.

He won't talk to the agents.

I don't know what he's afraid to say, but we need answers.

How about letting me try?

I've been researching the Islamic front.

We need the experience.

You invited Samar here?

Are you spying on me again?

She messaged me, asking if I ratted her out, and I said no.

Thank you.

So, what's your play?

What do you mean?

I mean, what's your play?

You're dealing with a con artist.

You can't just confront her. You have to con her back.

Caleb, I can do this on my own, and I want to.

Miranda: We've done this color wars exercise 20 times since I've been at Quantico, and this is only the third time that the two teams have been tied.

What?

Which means we're going to conduct one final exercise... class against class.

Get your g*ns.

You're going to Hogan's Alley.

Upper class, since you've done this drill before, you'll be the hostage takers.

Lower class, you will be the HRT team deployed to apprehend them and save the five hostages from this warehouse.

The rules are simple... k*ll or be k*lled.

[Sighs]

Shelby.

Stay away from me.

You don't mean that. I've left you dozens of messa...

Just stop.

We have nothing to say to each other.

You destroyed my life, my career at the bureau.

I had nothing to do with that.

Because of you, every single person in this city knows that I slept with my boss, the next vice president's late husband.

My face was on the cover of every paper, every tabloid.

I had to move back to Georgia just to get away from the paparazzi.

Everything that I had accomplished up to that point was wiped away, and according to you, it was for nothing, because we didn't get the bad guy.

You weren't in that room with Elias... I was.

No, you're right.

I...

I was in the room with 100 people who barely got out alive as the walls were caving in on us.

I was in the room with the 32 people who didn't get out alive, some of whom I tried to save with my own hands but couldn't, including Clayton.

And now...

I am being forced to defend my actions because you won't let this go.

I'm the same person, Shelby.

You used to believe in me.

Now I know that I was wrong.

Agent Parrish?

[Sighs]

[Sniffles]

Yes? [Clears throat]

I'm sure you've heard about Duncan Howell.

Duncan Howell?

N-no, I haven't heard.

He took his own life [Sighs] last night.

Before he did, he asked me to deliver a message to you.

[Exhales sharply]

He said, "Tell her... I thought I didn't have a choice."

Does that mean something to you?

Deckerman: Assistant Director, when Harper was a trainee at Quantico, were you concerned about his mental health?

No, I was not.

Interim Deputy Director, I'll ask you the same question... were you ever concerned?

No, Mr. Chairman, I was not.

Now, did either of you ever see Harper display any violent attitudes or opinions, either before or after he was dismissed?

Mr. Chairman, Miranda and I will blame ourselves for not seeing the signs in Harper for the rest of our lives.

His contempt for the Bureau's cases, his grandiosity, his need for admiration, his pointing the finger at others to deflect anyone from looking at him... we see those signs now, but we should've seen them then.

In your opinion, did Elias Harper act alone?

Yes.

Yes.

Now, we've heard from over a dozen of your agents, and they all say the same thing, except for one.

Why does Alex Parrish, an agent that you once described as a bright star, disagree with you?

Alex Parrish was one of the finest Agents I've ever trained.

If anyone's to blame for her delusion, it's the bureau itself.

After the Grand Central bombing, we fell for Harper's plan to frame her.

Turned her into a fugitive.

We broke her.

[Camera shutter clicking]

He backed you, in his own way, even though you h*jacked his entire agenda.

He's under a lot of pressure from the White House to close this case.

Even if it means selling the public a lie?

I read the report, Alex.

There's not a shred of evidence to support what you believe.

What about... what about Duncan Howell, the hacker who helped me discover the second b*mb?

Before he jumped, Miranda, he told the cop to tell me, "I thought I had no choice."

Someone got to Duncan, probably the same person who got to Elias.

What you're doing is not healthy.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Miranda, we're still not safe.

You have to believe me. I'm telling you.

Elias knew it was someone from our class.

That's how they knew how to frame me.

Alex, the thing about being an agent is that you cannot always think that you're right.

You were right about Charlie.

You should know better.

Hey.

Is your mother around?

I'm Nimah.

Which game are you playing?

The box.

You're stuck in a room, and an FBI trainee is sent in to interrogate you on the D.L.

[Chuckles] You're very clever.

But Miranda didn't send me... I volunteered.

So?

Your mother is worried.

She knows you wouldn't talk to her about what's happened.

Would you be more comfortable talking to me?

I don't know you.

You don't know me.

And you sure as hell don't know the people who took me.

It's a miracle that I am alive right now.

And I'm not saying a word to jeopardize that.

[Sighs]

Let me try.

You interrogate him?

Are you serious?

I've been pushing your buttons my whole life, haven't I?

Man: All right, let's go.

This may be a drill, but our careers are on the line, and they have the advantage on us.

It's us versus them.

We win... we stay. They win... five of us go home.

Which means there's no room for error.

We need everybody doing what they do best.

Let's do this!

The bureau's not treating his death as suspicious.

Yeah, well, neither am I.

No? You're just searching through his cellphone records trying to find a better data plan?

I was trying to find Mia.

Duncan was my friend.

He risked his life for me... and for you, too, from what I remember.

And I don't care what you say... he did not k*ll himself. Someone got to him, Ryan.

Alex, you're...

I'm what? Say it. Say it.

Everyone else at the bureau said it... your girlfriend, Natalie.

She's not my girlfriend anymore, and you know that.

Only thing I know is that I'm not wrong about Elias, and a lot of other people out there think so, too.

They only think that because they believe in you, Alex.

And I believe in you, too.

I believe you'll make the right decision once you see this.

It's a copy of the plea deal that Duncan signed with the district attorney's office four days ago.

He pled on two counts... unauthorized access and computer fraud... in exchange for a reduced sentence of 7 to 10 years.

Duncan was going to jail?

That's why he k*lled himself.

Alex, there was no boogeyman. There was no mastermind.

I don't think that you're crazy.

I think... [Sighs] I think you're in pain.

I think that you went through something awful, something that doesn't even make any sense, but that doesn't change the fact that Elias k*lled all those people.

I know there is someone else, Ryan.

You didn't hear Elias. He was so scared.

He was so ashamed. He wasn't lying.

He just wanted someone to forgive him.

Ryan.

Alex: They dressed up the hostages so we'd sh**t them.

They broke the rules.

Criminals don't play by the rules.

Yes, I have.

You may proceed.

"To my friends and family, my fellow agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and my fellow New Yorkers who've suffered these unspeakable tragedies...

I know how painful these past few months have been for all of us.

And I know many of you in this room blame me for what you see as prolonging your suffering.

You say I've divided a city because I don't accept your explanation, which is why we can't move on from those two fateful days in July.

But I won't apologize for that.

I can't.

The search for truth isn't easy, and when I joined the bureau, I took an oath to support and defend our country...

Which is why I'm reversing my position today.

Man: What?

Woman: What? What? No.

I can find no evidence that contradicts the bureau's findings that Elias Harper acted alone.

It's time for all of us to move on.

Alex, don't give up.

Know what?

We submitted five names, but because of your tantrum, they decided to cut from our class, too.

We didn't break the rules... you did.

Are you saying we had something to do with this?

Yeah.

Of course you did.

Back up.

Or what are you gonna do... give me a fake scar?

Trainees, trainees.

That's enough!

As some of you may already know, the five that were expelled this morning were cut from both classes.

Why? Because we know that the exercise was not fair.

So... Meet your new classmates.

What?

From now on, the 50 of you will live, breathe, and train together.

Try not to k*ll each other.

[Sighs] Great.

I'm Raina. You remember me?

Your sister tried and failed.

She told me.

When I was in high school, I wrote an article.

It was for the school's newspaper.

It was about the spy planes that were always flying over our community in Dearborn.

Three days later, the FBI rushed in during homeroom, and they interrogated me for 10 hours.

What did you tell them?

I told them that I am an American citizen and that I loved my country, but all people can see is this.

I have no idea what you mean.

I'm a 19-year-old black kid with priors.

I sneeze, and everyone on the plane has a heart att*ck.

Try asking a stranger for directions.

Try buying a bag of fertilizer for your vegetable garden.

[Both chuckle]

You haven't been sleeping, have you?

When you sleep, you're back there with the men who took you, right?

Men? Two of them were my age.

How many were they?

I can promise you... they will never trace it back to you.

Anthony...

Noah...

Jay...

And Derick.

That's all I know... no last names.

Thank you for trusting me.

Man: May I borrow your menu, please?

Mm.

And would you mind inviting your friend who followed you here to join us, Ms. Wyatt?

His name is Caleb, correct?

Are you in my SoulCycle cla...

Okay.

[Sighs]

Well, who are you?

Where's Samar?

Samar won't be joining us. Please, sit down.

My name is Khaled Said.

I am Samar's husband.

Samar isn't married.

But Haifaa, the woman you know as Samar, is.

My wife, the woman you thought was your sister, has been kidnapped...

Because of you.

You bought this for her 11 years ago at the marché aux puces de Saint-Quen flea market.

She wore it every day.

Haifaa never meant to hurt you this way.

She was a young woman when she agreed to be your sister.

I am afraid that it has cost her and me everything.

What happened to her?

Well, after your friend here made contact with her and demanded his cut, we agreed that it was time to end this, so she got in touch with her contact, and she told them.

And the next day, she disappeared... she was on her way to pick up our children from school.

Who is her contact?

Who would ask such a thing from someone?

I don't know.

Look, whoever it is, I am sure it is them who took my wife.

You have no reason in the world to help me, but you're the only one who can.

So I ask you, please help me find Haifaa.

We need to see every e-mail she ever exchanged with her contact.

[Ringing continues]

Hello?

[Distorted voice] It was so sad seeing you lie up there today, Alex...

Especially when I'm the only person who knows you were right...

Because I'm the one you've been looking for all along.

Hello? Who is this?

[Distorted voice] 227 West 10th.

Come alone.

[Sighs]

Where's Brandon?

Oh, no, this is our punishment.

We don't just get mixed classes, but we all get new roommates, too.

And [Whistles]

Since you can't pick up on social cues, how about this?

Yeah, there you go. Go build a robot.

Uh, all right. What'd you find?

I did an ISP search on all the e-mails that Khaled gave us... and, um, you're wearing my shirt.

Do you want it back?

[Sighs] No.

I don't know who's sending these e-mails, but I figured out where they're coming from...

Croatia.

[Cellphone rings]

Alex: What do you want, and why am I here?

[Distorted voice] All this time you've been helping me do what needed to done, and I've never been able to say thank you.

I've never been able to ask how you were doing.

You're strong, but I never realized how strong.

It's impressive.

The first time I saw you at the academy, I knew what you were capable of... what we were capable of.

But our relationship took time.

And now here we are, three months after Grand Central, a year after Quantico, and you're still helping me.

Helping you do what?

Finish what we started.

Look at your phone.

Tell her I had no choice, like Elias Harper. She'll know what that means.

You don't have to jump. Come down so we can talk.

No!


Duncan disobeyed me, but you won't.

[Metal clangs]

Who's there?!

[Siren wailing in distance]

You weren't the t*rror1st before, but now you're going to be.

Listen closely, Alex.
