MALE NARRATOR: Previously on The Event...
BP dropping. 80 over 40.
What's happening to him?
Where the hell is neurosurge?
We lost the pulse. We lost the pulse.
Elias!
He slipped into a coma after the surgery.
I know you poisoned the President.
I know you're working with Sophia.
That's preposterous! Now, you listen to me!
You listen.
The only reason she helped you get where you are
Remember who you're talking to! is because she knew
it would give her control of this office.
You may tender your resignation effective immediately.
We'll need to run more tests on the lung tissue as soon as it gets here.
Where is it now?
AARON: In a temperature controlled container.
Our courier is hand carrying it as we speak.
Sean.
Go.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(GRUNTS)
Drop it or I'll kill him. Drop it now!
SEAN: Vicky, shoot him! Don't let them take the case!
(GRUNTS)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
We got to get you out of here.
Michael and Simon are gone. We have to find them before they escape.
(GUN FIRING)
MICHAEL: There's a vial in my pocket.
Get it to the President as soon as you can.
No, Dad...
Michael...
(SOBBING)
He's gone.
Sophia,
I'm sorry.
We were trying to stop them from escaping. I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault.
LEILA: Look what you did to him!
You killed my father! I hate you!
I've known your father longer than you can comprehend.
You have no idea what I felt for him.
Did he have it? Michael?
What are you talking about?
The compound. Michael came into the lab. I tried to stop him.
What compound?
A counter agent. DNA repair enzymes.
It can reverse the effects of the poison we gave Martinez.
Oh, my God.
Search them.
(SOBBING) Let go of me.
It has to be Simon.
We have to assume that he's on the way to the hospital now.
If Martinez recovers,
everything that we've been working toward will be compromised.
No, I'll send the search team.
No, Simon is a highly trained agent. You'll never find him.
But I have another way.
In the meantime, we have to completely evacuate the compound.
Make sure everyone's safe before Simon
has a chance to alert the authorities.
Okay.
Get her away from him.
No...
Let go of me!
CHRISTINA: Daddy's still sleeping, honey, but he wants you to be strong
and send him good thoughts, okay?
All right, be a good boy. I'll be home soon.
Love you.
It's our son.
He wants to see his daddy.
So, what's the next step?
At this point, I'm afraid we've done
everything we can, Mrs. Martinez.
He's not getting any better, he's getting worse.
I'm sorry.
You're just gonna give up?
No. No.
(SOBS)
(CRYING)
PEEL: We've narrowed down the options
for Director Sterling's replacement.
These are very good candidates.
I don't want very good candidates. I want the best.
You fired the best,
with all due respect.
Director Sterling was a dangerous man.
The things he said about me, the man is not in his right mind.
I can't have a man like that at the head of the intelligence operations.
And for you to constantly remind me of his importance
only makes you a suspect.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean...
One second.
Hello.
Excuse me.
That'll be all, Mr. Peel. Thank you very much.
Certainly, Mr. President.
Yes? We have a problem.
Simon Lee has gotten hold of a counter agent.
A counter agent?
He can use it to
reverse the effects of the poison
we gave Martinez.
How did this happen?
I knew this was a mistake.
I can't believe I let you... Raymond, listen to me.
You need to focus all your energies
on finding Simon Lee, and stopping him
before he reaches
that hospital.
Well, it's easy for you to sit back and issue commands,
but I'm the one that has to handle the reality
on the ground. The reality is that you have every resource
in the federal government available to you
to find one man. Use them!
Because if Martinez recovers
and the truth comes out
they will put you away for the rest your life.
There's no sign of their car, and we can't just keep driving.
If we wanna stop Sophia from getting her hands on this virus,
then we're gonna need some help. I'm working on it.
No, we need to call the police and just tell them what we know.
We can't. We know from what happened on the plane
that someone high up in the government is helping Sophia.
But I've got their plates, and I know their car was a rental.
And?
Since the mid '90s every rental car has a tracking device
so the companies can monitor their vehicles.
So, if I can get into the company's system,
I might be able to find the car.
Might.
Sorry. You saw what that virus did to those people on the ship.
How they died.
If Sophia releases the virus, how bad could it be?
The original Spanish flu epidemic killed
between fifty and a hundred million people.
And that's before international travel was so easy.
And this strain's more virulent?
Way more. If Sophia released it,
I don't know what would be left.
Hey. What have you got?
Hopefully them. Fifty miles up ahead.
CARLOS: Word from Gerard just came in.
He was able to establish communication with the home planet.
It's worse than we thought.
Radiation levels have become catastrophic. People are dying.
We need to make room here, we need to get this done.
I understand that better than anyone.
How close are we to releasing the virus?
Close. But in order for a global pandemic to be successful,
the host has to survive long enough to spread the disease.
This is the footage Aaron sent from the Irina Bogdanov.
The doctor handling the virus was human,
and therefore not immune like us.
There. His clean suit becomes compromised.
This is the point of the infection.
The conditions for this outbreak were
not suitable for drawing any conclusions.
It was released in close quarters, in great concentration.
I need a more accurate simulation
to judge the efficacy of the virus.
If it's more reliable data you need,
the next field test should provide it.
Freeze.
Hands in the air.
Turn around.
Slowly.
Simon.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't put a bullet in you right now.
Martinez, I can save his life.
Don't play me, Simon.
I know Sophia used Jarvis to poison the President.
Why would they want to spare him now?
They don't. I do.
I've split with Sophia, for good.
Once I realized what she wanted to do,
how many people she was willing to murder...
I don't believe you.
Look, I have a counter agent.
An antidote.
Why would I trust you?
Everything you ever told me was a lie.
It's the truth.
I was free and clear. Why else would I risk coming back here?
Maybe you think you can manipulate me.
Sophia did it to Martinez time and time again.
Turns out, I was an even bigger fool than he was.
I'm sorry.
But believe me when I say I was doing it for the common good.
Even now, I still believe there can be peace between us.
How?
Starting with this.
Slowly.
You can undo what they did to Martinez with this.
Take it.
What possible motive could I have other than saving his life?
He's going to die anyway, what do you have to lose?
Look, you don't believe me, shoot me.
Just get this to Martinez before it's too late.
Move away from the window. What is it?
Silver sedan across the street.
Were you followed?
No, no, I'm sure of it.
Then Jarvis must have put a tail on me.
Why?
Sophia's working with the Vice President.
We have to assume she told him to stop you
before you could save Martinez.
And Jarvis knew I'd come to you for help.
It's Lee.
You're sure?
He was my partner for 10 years.
Damn. So, they really are working together.
We have a visual of Agent Lee inside the house.
Copy that. We'll cover the back.
Let's move.
They've stopped.
Ten miles out.
Where?
Cross referencing to a street map.
There's the car.
Okay, just keep driving past it.
No one.
(CAR DOOR SLAMS)
I don't see the case.
Blueprints of the mall.
Details of the air circulation system.
Sophia wants a record of this.
Port all surveillance cameras to her, and meet me on the roof.
(GAS HISSING)
Beal and I will make the front entry.
Berman and Diaz, you back us up
and watch the side windows.
Hayes and Reese, hold down the back of the house.
Copy that.
On my go, guys.
(SIRENS WAILING)
What is that?
Hold your positions.
Drop your weapons now! Federal Agent!
Get on the ground! We have credentials!
Shut up! I said drop your weapons!
You guys are blowing a CIA operation.
Last warning! Drop your guns!
Easy, easy.
Keep your hands where we can see them.
Easy, easy, easy.
Okay, check my left back pocket.
Left back pocket.
We're on a covert op.
At least it was covert.
They're legit. Stand down.
DISPATCHER: All units, stand down.
We got a 911 call about an armed robbery at this address.
Son of a bitch! Move in!
Hayes and Reese, move in!
Hold it! Clear!
Men down!
They're out? Oh, yeah.
Damn it.
How did you let this happen?
You had your best men on this?
I don't care. You find them and stop them!
(PHONE HANGING UP)
(DIALING NUMBER)
(PHONE RINGING)
Yes? There's been a problem.
We almost had the counter agent,
but Agent Lee escaped.
With all the resources that you
have at your disposal, you can't find one man?
There's something else.
Agent Lee escaped with Blake Sterling's help.
They're working together now.
You understand that if Martinez recovers
and returns to the Presidency,
we no longer have an agreement.
Because one of your people found an antidote?
I don't appreciate your tone, Raymond.
You're changing the terms.
I did my part by getting Martinez out of the way,
and you agreed to spare American lives.
Keep Simon from getting the counter agent to Martinez, and that will
still be the case.
Your country will be spared when my people arrive.
How do I know you're not playing me?
Do as I say, Raymond, you have no other options.
I didn't expect to start the day by stealing a car.
We have to assume Martinez will be heavily guarded.
There's no way we'll be able to get the antidote to him.
Not in time.
Last word from the doctors is it's only a matter of hours.
Can we use Peel?
Jarvis will be suspicious of him, too.
There's only one other option.
The First Lady.
The only problem is Jarvis probably realizes that, too.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, this is a restricted zone.
What?
The White House raised the security protocol.
Access to President Martinez is restricted to essential personnel only.
I'm his wife. I was just with him. I left to go and see my son.
I'm sorry, ma'am, but the Attorney General's orders were very clear.
CHRISTINA: (SCOFFS)
He's...
Call the Attorney General's office, I mean,
there must be some sort of mix-up.
I'm his wife. I should have access.
Yes, madam. I'll do it right away.
I have to go. Call me as soon as you hear anything.
Hello?
Christina, it's Blake Sterling.
Blake... We need to talk,
but we can't do it under these circumstances.
Go ahead. We intercepted a 24-second conversation
between Mrs. Martinez and former director, Sterling.
Twenty-four seconds? Is that all?
Yes, sir.
Well, what did Sterling say?
We don't know yet. The call was encrypted.
Then decrypt it.
As I told you before, it's for our own protection.
Now how long will it take you to decrypt it?
Within a few hours.
Damn it, I don't have that kind of time.
Eva!
Mr. President.
Get me a location on the First Lady.
(PANTING)
The air units are on the roof.
You have to evacuate everyone as fast as you can.
Sean. What?
Be careful.
(PHONE RINGING)
Yes?
I've got you routed into the video surveillance system.
You should have a visual on the site now.
How much longer before you proceed with the test?
Alex is aerosolizing the virus as we speak.
(TIMER BEEPING)
(SILENCE)
Excuse me, I need your help. We have to evacuate the mall.
What? I'm a Federal Agent.
Someone disabled the fire alarm,
and they're about to release a bioweapon
through the ventilation system.
How do you know this? Listen to me.
Everybody in this mall is going to die
unless you sound the alarm and get them out.
I got to talk to my supervisor, okay?
You know you're gonna listen to me,
or you're gonna be the first one to die, all right?
Now move!
Look at camera four.
That's the man from Alex's flight, the one who tried to stop us.
His name is Sean Walker.
You know him? Yes.
And I think I know who told him Alex was on the plane.
He must have figured out we were gonna release the virus.
You can't let him stop it.
(PANTING)
(GUN FIRES)
(GUNS FIRING)
What's going on?
Keep working.
This is not acceptable.
I don't care what you have to do to get it done, just do it.
I am his wife, they can't just shut me out.
Christina.
I came to check on Eli.
I wanted to speak to his doctors personally. How is he doing?
Well, I wouldn't know. They won't let me see him.
The Attorney General issued some sort of order.
No, there must be some miscommunication.
I told the Attorney General to limit all access to Eli's room,
but I should have specified it didn't apply to you.
I'll call him. I'll make it right.
Christina, there's something I need to tell you.
Eli didn't have a stroke.
He was poisoned.
What?
I know this will come as big of a shock to you as it did to me,
but Director Blake Sterling and one of his agents, Simon Lee,
are working together.
They're the ones that tried to kill your husband.
No, I don't believe that. That can't be true. That's...
I didn't believe it either, but there's no question.
I'll show you all the evidence later,
but now you understand why I had to control the access to Eli's room.
I'm afraid Blake and Agent Lee will try again.
After what happened in Coral Gables, Ray,
how do you expect me to ever trust you again?
Christina, can't you see now that I had nothing to do with that?
These men, Blake Sterling and Agent Lee, will stop at nothing.
Last time I saw Blake, we were at Elias' bedside,
and I knew there was something he wasn't telling me.
What do you mean?
He said that there was nothing that anyone could do
to prevent Elias' stroke, but it was the way he said it.
I knew that he was keeping something from me.
And now it makes total sense.
Well, we're gonna do everything we can to find them,
to make sure nothing worse can happen.
But we're at a bit of a disadvantage.
We have no idea where Sterling and Agent Lee are.
I do.
What?
Blake called me today.
He asked me to meet him in secret.
My God. Where?
At a warehouse on South Kendall Street.
I can't believe this is happening.
Christina, you have my word.
We're going to do everything we can to find them
and stop them.
Give us a moment, please.
It's hard for me to look at you and not see him,
your father,
his courage, his resolve.
I understand you better than you think.
But you have to know how misguided you are.
I don't wanna hurt anyone.
But if you had to choose between saving
your family and saving someone else's,
what would you do?
Who would you save?
I need to know what you told Sean Walker.
I didn't tell him anything.
But you did.
Simon or your father told you about the weapon we've acquired.
I need to know what else you told him.
Tell me!
Go to hell!
Don't choose the wrong side in this, Leila,
because I will do everything I can to protect my people.
My family.
Our family.
I'm not telling you anything.
By involving Sean in this, you've ensured his death.
Same way you did with your father.
Their blood's on your hands.
(GUN FIRING)
Where's the alarm? Who did this?
The people I told you about. Now move it, the alarm.
The master relay's in here.
But even after the alarm sounds,
the evacuation time is still rated at 20 to 25 minutes.
There's a lot of people out there.
Can you turn off the air system?
We can shut down the breakers, but Do it.
there's a battery backup somewhere.
I wouldn't know how to undo it.
Hit the alarm!
There.

Vicky!
She's gone.
(TIMER BEEPING)
What is it?
It looks like a pressurized tank
that's connected to the air-recirculating system.
We have to disarm it. There's still hundreds of people down there.
Here we are.
This is real time footage from an IMINT spy satellite
positioned on the South Kendall Street address, sir.
It appears that your intelligence
that you provided was correct, sir.
Blake Sterling and Simon Lee are preparing to meet with your source.
You still haven't told us who this source is, Mr. President.
All you need to know is that the information
I have received has informed me
that traitorous actions will be set in motion against our government.
Actions that must be stopped.
With all due respect, Mr. President,
I find it hard to believe that Blake Sterling
would participate in any action
that would harm this country.
What more proof do you need, Mr. Peel?
There it is, plain as day.
Meeting covertly with an enemy of our government.
Our tactical team is 10 minutes out, sir.
Tell them to stand down, they won't be necessary.
Excuse me?
I'm coordinating with the Air Force on this.
Ask General McMillan if the Predator drone is ready for its air strike.
Air strike?
You can't possibly be serious.
We are a country at war, and these men are traitors.
With all due respect, sir, this is a mistake.
This is an order!
Well, I cannot condone it, sir.
Well, I'm not asking for your approval, General.
I am the President of the United States.
I control the military, I control this office.
And if you can't condone the actions of your Commander in Chief,
you can get the hell out!
Anyone else?
The drone is in position, Mr. President.
This is an assassination.
Tell them to fire when ready.
You have orders from the President to fire when ready.
GENERAL MCMILLAN: Okay, you're clear.
Prepare to fire.
PILOT: Fire, sir.
Copy that. Missile's on its way.
Direct hit, sir. The targets have been eliminated.
I need confirmation on the kills.
Claire, the President requests confirmation
that the targets have been neutralized.

(TIMER BEEPING)
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
Thought you were an expert.
I hack computers,
not virus releasing...
Okay, fine. Okay, fine.
Fine, just do something.
We're running out of time.
Okay. All right, all right.
The timer is connected to an actuator that opens a solenoid valve.
So, if I disrupt the signal to the transducer...
This is an evacuation alert.
There.
Okay, we have to get out of here.
Come on, we have to save ourselves. Come on.
There has to be a power source, a battery...
If I can disrupt the power to the timer...
But how? I don't know. I don't know.
All of the components are anchored,
so, if I pull the wrong wire, everyone...
Sean, we don't have time for you to sit here and figure this out.
Then go.
Then you go, okay?
I'm not going anywhere. Just think.
There's gotta be something else that will disrupt the power.
(GUN FIRING)
Sorry, I panicked.
It worked.
Search him.
Got it.
I wanted to thank you personally for everything you've done.
Has there been any word about the device at the mall?
Yes, they managed to disarm it.
I'm sorry, I should have stayed.
No, if you had we might have lost everything.
Dr. Lu has been studying the video you filmed onboard the bus.
Now that she's able to see every minute
of how the virus affects humans,
as well as having these test subjects to autopsy,
we'll be able to move forward.
We owe you a debt of gratitude.
Sophia, Dr. Lu needs you in the lab.
Excuse me.
I think I have a way to slow down the virus.
Go on.
Viruses mutate when they jump from species to species.
Like bird flu becoming H1 N1 when it crossed into humans.
If we jump the virus into the right species, it will mutate on its own.
And we can screen for the variation we need.
What kind of species would that be?
The virus doesn't affect us at all,
and it kills human beings too quickly.
We need to infect a bridge species
whose DNA lies somewhere in-between.
A hybrid.
Yes, and from what I understand, we're in luck.
Give me a minute.
I was told I'm able to see my husband now.
Yes, ma'am. The order's been lifted by order of the President.
Ma'am, his vital signs continue on a declining slope.
His last EEG indicated no signs
of high functioning brain activity.
I'm sorry, there's nothing to be done.
I refuse to believe that.
Mrs. Martinez, there is just nothing...
You heard me, Doctor, I refuse. Thank you.
Thank you.
Sir, I have something, sir.
Get a team down, and find out where this goes now.
What do you mean no bodies?
Reconnaissance found a tunnel that led to an outbuilding.
They're canvassing the area,
but the conclusion on the ground is they're long gone.
Mr. President.
ANALYST: Sir, I decrypted the conversation
between Director Sterling and the First Lady.
Play it.
Hello? Christina, it's Blake Sterling.
Blake... We need to talk,
but we can't do it under these circumstances.
I believe the phones are monitored.
Go outside.
There's a pay phone on the eastern side
of the street across from the hospital.
Blake, what is it?
Christina, you have to trust me.
Jarvis is behind everything that's happened to your husband,
but I have a way to save him.
I'll call you on the pay phone in five minutes.
Okay, I'm on my way out now.
She lied to me.
He told her about the warehouse. It was all a diversion.
Oh, God.
Give me a minute.
(PRAYING IN SPANISH)
Amen.
What's going on?
Carlos?
Carlos, please.
What is that?
What is... What is that?
SOPHIE: In 1918, the Spanish flu pandemic
killed 20% of the world's population.
There were localized strains and mutations.
This is one of them.
A strain so deadly, it turned entire cities into graveyards
No, please.
overnight.
Please.
We worked very hard to find this particular strain.
And now you, a hybrid, a bridge between our people,
you're going to help us spread it.
