02x11 - Freedom

[bunniefuu]

Joe faked his death, and now he's started over again.

With new followers?

So these are the psychos?

These people are gonna be very useful to us.

They need guidance, teaching.

He's found a new cult.

Prioritize groups that believe in blood sacrifice.

I have a holy arm of warriors, who are about to rain merry hell down on this world.

There can be no redemption without blood.

No redemption without blood!

No redemption without blood!

No redemption without blood!

No redemption without blood!

How does Lily Gray fit into all this?

She's the female version of Joe, just more elusive.

We have her son in custody, but he's not talking.

And Ryan-- how's he?

It was hard for him, but he pulled through.

Carrie: I want the story, Ryan, but I also want to help you.

You know you can trust me, right?

I can't do this.

This is not our way.

I don't want anybody feeling that they are here against their will.

Joe said to give you another chance.

I hope you don't disappoint him, but I have a feeling you will.

Let the rivers of blood flow free!

Korban, embrace your destiny!

[Cheering]

Your commitment to our mission here at Korban greatly moves me.

Each and every one of you has far exceeded my expectations, but now we must move on to the next and perhaps most crucial part of your instruction.

Who would like the great honor of being first?

Can I?

Yes.

[Whispers] Angela.

Angela, yes?

Come. Please.

Angela, now I want you to close your eyes, and I want you to tell me about the happiest moment of your life, whatever comes to mind.

It was years ago before Korban.

I went to the Florida Keys with my fiancé... before he d*ed.

We were snorkeling, and we would dive down over the coral reef.

The water was completely clear.

My body felt so... light, and the feeling was so vivid like I was flying.

It was freedom.

Oh, that's great. Open your eyes.

That feeling, that feeling of total serenity, of freedom, that is the gift that you can give to the world.

[Whimpering]

[Moans]

Carla lies here before you.

I want you to give that gift to Carla.

Do you think you can do that, Angela?

I think so.

Ok.

[Carla sobbing]

Shh. It's ok.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Angela, free her.

Save her soul from this world and let it fly up to the most high.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

Uh-huh. Yes?

Soothe her.

It's going to be all right, Carla.

You're going home.

Home.

I love you, Carla.

You can do it, Angela.

You can do it, Angela.

Do it.

[Groaning]

You're not taking a life.

You are freeing a soul!

Yes!

Yes.

I did it.

Yes.

I really did it.

That is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

[Angela crying]

Oh. Well done.

[Applause continues]

Woman on TV: Today's top story. As the nationwide manhunt for Joe Carroll continues, it's bringing with it a culture of disturbing behavior.

Joe Carroll masks and t-shirts are going on sale as the nation's fascination with this serial k*ller is reaching a fanatical obsession.

Woman: We're not k*lling anyone.

We're just having a party.

You know, we're more of a fan club than a cult.

It's just a way to express ourselves, be unique.

It's fun.

If you're shocked by this report, you are not alone.

The fanaticism created by Joe Carroll is shocking the country, and on the--

Ok. First, you're watching the wrong news channel.

And, two, can you believe this?

We're covering a fraternity cult beer bust tonight.

World we live in.

Good morning.

Newswire broke a report that Lily Gray is in Europe.

Care to comment?

News to me.

More false reports.

There's been Lily Gray sightings in 12 countries so far.

You should do that more often.

It suits you.

What?

Smile.

So I'll see you tonight?

Can it be late?

Busy day.

Sure.

[Knock on door]

Carrie: Morning, Mike.

Good morning, Carrie.

I'll call you later.

Come on, guys.

Was I interrupting something?

Not at all. Coffee?

I'll get it.

So following up on Joe's call and his new holy army, Max and I spent the morning digging through the Meggido Project Database.

It's the most comprehensive listing of cults, domestic t*rror1st organizations.

Anything?

Well, Max stayed behind to look at unregistered cults, but here's our first pass.

We found 73 cults, starting with small, vulnerable ones prone to ritualistic behavior.

They all use some warped version of religious doctrine, and they're all within a day's drive of New York.

Woman on TV: The FBI has broadened its search to the West Coast as nationwide tips about the location of Joe Carroll are coming in.

The FBI is investigating...

Claire.

You remember Brad Daniels from WITSEC?

Yeah. Thank you for coming.

When can I leave?

Claire, a lot of people went through a lot of work to make sure that you and your son are safe.

You need to let the authorities handle Joe Carroll.

I let the authorities handle Joe Carroll.

I gave up my entire life, and my son still isn't safe, so now I'd like to see Ryan Hardy.

Claire, you realize leaving Witness Protection and going to New York will compromise the FBI's investigation.

I know the law. You can't stop me.

Actually, we can.

Compromising a federal investigation is grounds for detainment.

I am not gonna reveal I'm alive.

I simply-- I want to see Ryan because I know a way I can help him.

We'll need to accompany you.

Also, I want to move your so and your mother to an undisclosed m*llitary base until further notice.

You won't even know where they are.

It's for their safety.

I understand.

You won't see them again unless you return to Witness Protection.

The man k*lled at the restaurant--

Patrick Trano-- he served two tours in Pakistan and disappeared upon discharge.

His family said he had some posttrauma.

They had no idea that he'd joined a cult.

What about Lily Gray? Did Clarke give you an update?

Yeah. They initiated an international manhunt, and based on her resources, they think she's probably in a country without extradition.

You ok?

How's your family?

They're ok, considering.

You're gonna get through this, Mike.

We both are.

How uncharacteristically optimistic of you, Ryan.

Hey. I can be optimistic.

Sometimes.

Uh-huh.

Is this Carrie Cooke's doing?

I know it's not my business, but I--

Nah. It's cool.

Yeah. I like her.

Uh... she's not what I thought.

Ok.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Screams]

Hey!

[People screaming]

[Police radio chatter]

Clarke: 5 dead, 12 injured.

And you're sure it was Carroll?

Yeah. Witnesses report seeing white masks, knives--

Watch your step-- Just like the previous att*cks.

They were dropped off by a van.

They worked their way through the bakery, and they exited the rear.

Is there a message?

The other att*cks came with a message from Joe.

I'm not aware of any message, no.

Emma: Mandy's a problem, Joe.

Carroll: Yeah. Yeah. She's been something of a disappointment.

I was hoping to strengthen her resolve, but she's not quite coming around, is she?

I've heard talk. People are wondering why you didn't put her in the hole with the others.

Favoritism is frowned upon here.

It's about unity, remember?

Let me think about the best way to deal with her, yeah?

I think she's a lost cause.

Duly noted, em, duly noted.

Sorry.

Joe, can I talk to you?

Yes, yes, Robert, of course.

What's up?

You know that I have done everything that you asked, but I...

What? What is it, Robert?

What's, uh, what's bothering you?

Carla was at Korban for 8 years.

She was a kind and generous soul.

Why her?

Blood sacrifice is-- is nothing new to this community, Robert.

I know, but... she was a friend to me.

She helped me when I first came to Korban.

She-- she stood beside me.

Yeah. Carla was a... very special woman.

That's why she was chosen to go home.

Do you really believe that?

Yes. Yes, I do very much.

Don't-- don't you?

Yeah. I-- Yeah. I just-- It's--

There are some people here that are-- are questioning you.

Oh.

They miss Micah.

He was always the one that chose who went home.

People know about your past, and they-- they doubt your sincerity.

But not you, right?

No, no. Joe, I'm-- I'm with you.

You know that.

Yeah.

But what am I supposed to tell the others?

You tell them not to confuse the man I used to be with the man I am now.

You tell them that Micah is still in our hearts and that we have great work to do.

You know, we-- we have a special mission here, Robert, a mission to save the world.

Salvation is ours through the redemption of others.

Of course.

I'm sorry to even bring it up...

No, it's--

But it just--

Carla just hit me hard, that's all.

I-- I'm sorry I bothered you.

Please. It's fine.

Excuse me.

What was that?

Now we do have a problem.

Tell me, uh, do you have any sway with him?

I'm not sure.

Can you find out?

Because he was just questioning me.

The others trust him.

We have to hold him close.

[Beep beep]

Terri Burke?

Yes.

[Grunts]

Hey.

You mind if I come in?

No. No. Not at all.

So talk to me.

You can be totally honest with me, Robert.

What's going on?

I get it, you know?

I do.

I've doubted Joe, too.

He's made mistakes.

That's why he needs people like us to guide him.

Does he really believe we're saving these people?

I know I do because I choose to believe it.

If you believe it, it is your reality.

I was raised by a woman who told me every day that I was ugly and sick and a mistake.

Joe was the first person to look at me and tell me that I was perfect.

He believed in me until I could believe in myself.

You have to trust him, Robert.

I want to.

All you have to do is believe in him.

I do, I do, but--

And me.

Believe in me.

I just want to know that what I believe in is real.

This is real.

Feel it.

Believe it.

Have faith.

Man: We got to triage.

Come on, come on, come on!

The victims from the bakery att*ck.

Woman: We're out of room!

Man: Supplies. Whatever you got.

Man: More injured coming in!

Man: You're lucky.

It's just a superficial wound.

[Cell phone vibrates]

[Cell phone vibrates]

I had a patient in here. Do you know where he went?

Uh-uh. Sorry.

They k*lled two cooks, wounded two more, and then they exited through that backdoor.

Why is Joe Carroll taking out a bakery?

Why this bakery?

How many employees did you say?

5 in all. 1 was k*lled in front, 2 here, and 2 were taken to the Emergency Room.

According to this, there's only 3 people working.

What hospital were the victims taken to?

I don't know. The nearest one.

I need the hospital where the victims were taken.

[Beep]

[Buzzer]

I have to get some blood work for Dr. Gibbs.

The authorization.

Man on radio: They were taken to Manhattan Memorial.

That's where Luke is being kept.

This isn't Joe.

It's Lily Gray.

Hmm.

Who are you?

Hello?

Darling?

Mom?

Please do exactly as Serena tells you.

I'm bringing you home.

They entered the ER as victims.

They're gonna try to break Luke out.

Lock the hospital down now.

Secure the prisoner in custody!

[Sirens]

Put this on.

What's the plan?

You heard your mother. I'm gonna get you out of here.

Stay calm and be patient.

[Telephone ringing]

Woman: Hello. ICU.

Marshal Keeler, it's for you.

Marshal Keeler.

Keeler: Come again?

Sir, you can't be here. This is a secured area.

Just push them where I was told. I was told here.

Hey, hey stop.

Stay where you are show me your hands!

Oh, man. Just doing my job.

[Screams]

[Whimpers]

Let's go.

[g*nshots]

This way.

Now what?

We got an ambulance downstairs.

We got to go now!

They know we're here. Got to go, got to go.

You take the south stairwell.

You go north.

I may need some covers getting out.

Man: Yeah?

Second man: We have a problem.

Hurry up. We were made too quick.

What the hell happened?

Two minutes out. We'll be there.

I need agents at all entrances and exits.

Let's secure this ground floor now!

This way.

Ok. Upstairs.

We'll go around.

Please! Help me! They k*lled everybody!

It's all right. It's all right, ma'am.

Calm down.

The room's empty.

Woman: I heard them. They're meeting an ambulance downstairs.

They're using an ambulance to escape!

Let's go, let's go.

Secure the location. No ambulances are to leave.

[Tires squeal]

[Sirens]

Man: Clear that w*apon!

Copy that. The ambulance was empty.

They're still in the hospital.

Let's go, let's go.

Ryan, that's everybody that was on the floor.

Hospital administration's checking IDs.

All right. I'm gonna go floor to floor.

You take the north stairway, I go south.

Be careful.

Where's Serena?

I didn't see her.

I don't get it. Why didn't we take the ambulance like you said?

The FBI and NYPD arrived much earlier than expected.

They got on to us somehow.

They've shut down the entire perimeter.

So what now?

We go with plan B.

I'll take the kid.

We'll be at the back entrance of the market in 20 minutes. Meet us with the car.

You got it.

Just follow me. Do exactly as I say.

Yeah. You guys keep saying that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey. I was told to bring all hospital personnel up to 4 for verification.

All right. Let me see your ID.

Thank you.

Ok.

Thank you. Let me see yours.

Ok.

Ma'am, can you turn your ID around so I can see it?

Uh, sorry. I'm really shaky.

Tell me where Lily Gray is.

I don't talk ever.

Where is she, or you die.

Then I die.

Where is she?!

You're just gonna have to k*ll me.

[Screams]

Man on TV: There's a serpent in our garden, one who speaks of blood as blessing and hate as love, one who seduces our troubled brothers and sisters with his lies.

I'm speaking to you, Joe Carroll.

I'm speaking to you and all your crazy followers.

You repent now!

Who is that?

He's a megachurch Evangelist who's set his sights on us.

...eternal damnation. You denounce sin!

I expect we're rather good for his ratings.

How did things go with Robert?

He won't be a problem.

I knew I could rely on you, Em.

The Bible?

If I'm gonna be the prophet of salvation, I need one or two more buzz words.

This isn't a joke, Joe.

We're running out of time.

Robert is right. These people are looking to us for guidance.

So what is the plan?

Same as it's always been-- to regain our legacy and live forever in infamy.

That is a bumper sticker, Joe.

That's not an answer.

Oh. Ok. You want an answer?

You know, it's no accident that we've ended up in this place, Em.

I know that now.

No. My big mistake last year was thinking way to small.

No. Poe was never gonna be the answer.

You know, more people have been k*lled in the name of religion than any other cause on Earth, and yet religion hides that v*olence in the language of peace, so we are-- we're gonna show the world the truth.

Religion's not about love or charity.

It is about blood and sacrifice.

Here. Look.

"Matthew" 10:34.

"Jesus said, do not think I came to bring peace on Earth.

I did not come to bring peace but a sword, for I came to set a man against his father and a daughter against her mother."

And if the, uh, good preacher wants a holy w*r, then, by hell, we'll give him one, and the whole world shall bear witness.

Ok, then.

[TV audio muted]

Said, "Why the long face?"

[Laughter]

You know?

Well, I didn't think it was anything like that.

The desire was kind of the strangest... strangest thing.

[Radio squawks]

Mike: Hey, Ryan. Where are you?

They're heading to the marketplace outside the hospital.

Get units there now!

[Clang]

Hello, Ryan. What are you doing here?

Get on the ground.

It's good to see you, too.

On the ground now!

Aw, come on. This ground is filthy, man.

Come on.

Down on your knees.

Down on your knees!

Drop the g*n! Drop the g*n.

Hey!

What took you so long?

Down on your knees.

Lace your fingers behind your head.

Put these on.

Come on!

By now, NYPD and the FBI have cordoned off a 3-block radius around the hospital, so there's no way out, but I could help you.

All I want is Luke.

You can walk out of here.

Not with the kind of money these guys are making.

Don't be stupid, Ryan.

They're paid K*llers.

You can't possibly compete.

Ok. So how are you getting out?

I mean, they've already started a person-by-person search.

This is over, fellas.

He's got a point. How are we getting out of here?

Market's upstairs.

We're gonna walk out of here.

Murph's waiting with a car.

[Grunting]

[Screams]

[g*nsh*t]

This is the phone they used to contact Lily Gray.

Have cyber forensics look into it.

Anything on the ground search?

We got every available agent and officer patrolling the area, but he could be anywhere by now, Ryan.

Carrie: Ryan!

Let her through.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

I heard you were a hero again today.

You need to stop doing that.

It's very stressful.

No hero, not today.

I'm going on air. I have to go, but dinner later?

Yeah, sure.

Carrie: The FBI has few leads as to where Lily and her sons may be hiding as this bizarre nightmare continues.

[Knock on door]

Luke.

[Crying]

Mark.

Luke.

I missed you, Mark.

It's good to see you, little brother.

Mom.

[Lily crying]

Oh, baby. I've been so worried.

Are you ok? Are you hurt?

I will k*ll them all.

I'm fine, mom.

I'm just happy to be back.

Carrie: Police sources have confirmed that today's v*olence was not the work of Joe Carroll.

Instead, Lily Gray has taken center stage by impersonating Carroll and his followers in order to free her imprisoned son.

You clever, little viper.

Oh, we'll show her.

Look at the resources this woman has.

She busted into a government-secured hospital.

How do you go up against somebody like that?

She's more calculated than Joe with so little regard for human life that she would seek out a man's father and k*ll him.

I don't understand it.

I try, but I don't.

It can't be understood.

We're gonna find them, Mike.

We're gonna find Lily Gray and Joe Carroll.

Yeah?

I don't see it.

Well, I do.

Optimism.

Remember? Hope?

And then after all this is over, you and me... we're gonna go have a life.

You know why?

The universe owes us.

You understand that?

Good. Let's get the hell out of here.

Man: ♪ we're out of time, we're out of place ♪
♪ we're quietly spinning ♪

You must be freezing.

You need a ride?

Yeah.

Hello?

Mandy: Mark, is that you?

It's Mandy. I got your number from the classifieds.

Please. Is it you?

Just left word for Max.

She's been calling me all day, freaking out.

Yeah. She missed a big day.

[Knock on door]

Must be her.

I'll get it.

Agent Weston, good evening.

Mr. Hardy, I'm Brad Daniels, Assistant Director US Marshal Service.

Turner: Hello, Ryan.

Ryan, Ryan. Hey, hey, hey.

I'm sorry. I can explain this.

Claire: Ryan.

Claire?
