NARRATOR:
Previously on Hostages.

Who the hell are you?

I know you're related
to Nina Carlisle.

Trust me, you don't want
to get involved in this.

You're Kate Renner.
Nina's mother.

Glad you could make it.

What do you want?
I need a friend inside
Duncan's operation.

You're talking to
the wrong girl.

Okay, a spy.

What are you offering?

Just because
we're sleeping together,

you do not get
to treat me like
your secretary.

OTI has to end.
You want to dismantle it?

I want to expose it.

OTI is important. Don't give
this bastard a chance to take
that away from you.

Do we really want to bet
the future of this country
on Dr. Sanders?

Or Duncan Carlisle?

They tried and failed. Why
should we believe they'll
pull it off this time?

SANDRINE: Kramer took a photo
of a guy talking to the
Secret Service agent.

You got a name?

Robert Harper.
Former Army Ranger
and decorated sniper.

Sniper?

Did you kill him?

I went to his apartment,
but he wasn't there.

He's on a plane
to New York City
right now.

If he's trying to kill
you, why is he on his
way to New York?

Because I'm
not the target.

The President is.

He's scheduled
to be in New York
all day tomorrow.

If they succeed, Nina dies.

Then we need to
get there first.

The president is gonna be in
New York today.

Another team is being
assembled to take him out
while he's there.

We have to stop them.
Hold up there.

How exactly is that on us?
Target goes away,
our payday goes away.

Our deal is with you.
Your deal is to
complete the mission.

We can't do that if somebody
beats us to the punch.

So how do we do it?

None of this is your fault.

You didn't ask for this,
and you don't deserve it.

But now that we're here,

we have to do everything
we can to make the
right decisions.

We shouldn't be helping
these people.

What about when we don't
have a choice?
You always have a choice.

Mom says we
need to cooperate.
Cooperate? Yeah.

Not collaborate.

What does that mean?
It means that

when this is over I want you
to be able to look at
yourselves in the mirror.

I don't want to let them turn
you into something that
you're not.

They made you lie

to Boyd's father
about his death.

And they made you come up
with a phony alibi for Kramer.

Where is this gonna end?

With Mom killing
the president.
I don't accept that.

And if it does, then...

If it does, then what?

I don't want this family to
lose its way.

(FOOTSTEPS COMING DOWN STAIRS)

Everybody on your feet.
You're coming with us.

Let's go. Move! Get up!

Move! Up!

I'm glad you called.

So all I gotta do is
tell you what's going on?

Like I said last night,
all I need is information.

Where people are,
what they're doing.

You're my eyes and ears.

I want to know if Duncan's
sticking to the plan,

that he's watching
the Sanders family 24/7.

And, if he's not, call me.

How do I know
you're gonna deliver
on your end of this?

Two Canadian passports.
One for you,
one for your son.

And what about the cash?

Keep it. Consider it a
gesture of good faith.

I'll give you the rest
when this is all over.

10 grand is nothing
to the people
I'm working for.

They just wanna know
what's going on with Duncan.

It's an insurance policy.
That's all.

You made the right decision.

Trust me. It's much better
than the alternative.

I've gotta get back.

ARCHER: Sit down.

Windows are nailed shut.
Door will be locked
from the outside.

You're gonna be in here
for a while, so make
yourselves comfortable.

What's going on?

None of you are leaving
the house today.

(DRILLING)

I've sent Sandrine and Kramer
ahead to start surveillance
on this church.

And to look for the
sharp shooter we saw
yesterday, Robert Harper.

You and I are gonna try
and narrow the search.

What do you know about the
president's schedule?

Off the record trips are
low-profile. The goal is
to avoid being noticed.

Kincaid will be in an unmarked
SUV, without the usual number
of Secret Service agents.

They'll most likely bring him
through this back alley, here.

Why don't we simply call in
a bomb threat?

Make them divert his plans.
If we do anything to make

Kincaid's security detail
suspect there's a plot
against him,

protocol dictates they
completely change
his itinerary.

That would include the
location of his surgery,

and the staff performing.
We need to find this
other hit team

and take them out,
without anybody
knowing it happened.

Hello, it's Burton.
Am I all set on that
flight to Madrid?

Two tickets.

For myself, and for my
granddaughter.

Okay. Let me know
as soon as possible.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Kate.
Hello, Burton.

Come inside.

What are you doing
here? I thought we
had an arrangement.

I know. I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be here, ever.

A woman came to see me.
Yes?

Dr. Sanders.
Why didn't you tell me
Nina was sick?

(SIGHS) Because...

We always said you would
move on with your life and
put Nina behind you.

Why burden you wish her
health problems?
She's still my daughter.

I had a right to know.
Is that why
you're here, Kate?

I'm here because I
want to tell my story.

I want to expose Kincaid.

BLAIR: Things in
place in New York?

I just spoke to
the team leader.

They landed last night.
They're assembling now.

Everything's a go.
Good.

Good. What about the girl?
She accept your offer?

She's in.

Okay. Stay in
contact with her
throughout the day.

The minute we're done
in New York, we need to
be ready to move

on Duncan and his team.

I understand.
Duncan needs to go first.

Then the others.

What about
the Sanders family?

(SIGHS) Make it
a murder-suicide.

A weapon will be left
in the father's hand,

with a note, bemoaning
his financial issues
and marital problems.

It's never pleasant taking
out innocent civilians,

but we don't have a choice.

ARCHER: If I were them,
I'd be looking to get
some elevation.

Only a few structures
in the vicinity

have the heightened
position to give you
an angle on that alley.

The sniper team will be
looking for a quick exit to
a major thoroughfare.

I only see three buildings
that fit the bill.

One. Two. Three.
Yeah.

Which one will they use?
Don't know yet, but a sniper's
only as good as his spotter,

and a spotter is
only as good as
his vantage point.

We need more information.

We don't have enough time to
do an internal recon in
three high-rise buildings.

You're right.

We need the blueprints for
each building with complete
specifications.

How are we gonna get those?

After that doctor left,
I started thinking

about all those
secrets I kept,

for so long.

I got angry.

I've told my
husband everything.

Kate, we had a deal.

And I can only imagine
how difficult

these past years...
Decades!

Decades have been for you,

but Kincaid's a dangerous man.
I don't need to tell you that.

He's a lot more powerful
than he was 35 years ago.

I'll take my chances.

I think I'm old enough to make
that decision for myself.

Hm. What about for Nina?

She's at risk as well.

Nina has terminal leukemia.

According to that doctor,
there's no match for her
bone marrow, right?

I want my daughter to know
the truth before she dies.

We haven't given up.

I need something from you.

I want schematics on three
buildings in New York.

Schematics? What for?

Your firm has a password for
the property clerk's database
in most major cities, correct?

Yeah, they do, but I can't
access them whenever I want.

It's not that simple.
Why do you need the specs?

It's important

to all of us.

Well, I'm sorry. There
are a lot of regulations.

Privacy, security
restrictions.

Can't help you.

Can't? Or won't?

Both.

You still haven't
learned anything, Brian.

On your feet. Let's go.

Mom!
Mom!

Where are you
taking her?

Mom!

(DOOR LOCKING)

You wanted to
tell me something?

I think I can get the
schematics you need.

Good.
But I want to know.

What's it for? I know
the president is in
New York today.

What are...are you
gonna kill him?

No. I'm gonna save him.

But I need those
specs, Ellen. Soon.

(SIGHS)

Here.

If I fail in
New York, Ellen,

if you hear that the
president has been killed,

then you need to go
upstairs, free your family,

and get the hell
out of here. Fast.

Do you understand
what I'm telling you?
(MURMURING) Yes.

I know you'll never
believe me, but

I wish you never
had to be involved.

Thank you for coming.
I was really surprised
that you called me.

I thought you guys were in
Montreal? Why isn't Brian
back at the office?

Well, that's why
I'm here. Brian...

got himself into some
financial trouble.
I don't understand.

Well, the company is
heavily leveraged.
Deeply, deeply in debt.

Then about six months ago,
he borrowed a large sum of
money from some people.

The wrong people.
And then when he
couldn't pay them back

they, uh, they threatened
to hurt our family.

What?
That's why he dropped the
passports off that day.

We thought we had to
get out of the country
in a hurry.

Why didn't Brian say
anything to me?

Well, I don't think he
wanted to get you involved.

He's out of town
right now, but he
really needs your help.

We need your help.

Uh...

I don't blame you for
anything that happened.

All I care about right now
is protecting my family.

Why don't you
go to the police?

That would make it even
worse. I mean, these people
are really dangerous.

They would hurt our kids.
(SOFTLY) Right.

Well, what do you
need from me?

Your company access code.

We need the schematics for
three buildings in New York.

For the business deal,
just to help Brian dig
himself out of this mess.

Ah. This is Nina's sixth
birthday party.

And why does the boy
standing next to her have
frosting all over his face?

Oh, that's Alex.
He lived two doors down.
Bit of a bully.

Alex made the mistake of
trying to take Nina's cupcake,

and she shoved it
in his face.

(CHUCKLING SOFTLY)
So Nina was
a tough one?

She still is.

According to the
doctors, she should have
been dead months ago.

She's a fighter.
You did a wonderful job
raising her, Burton.

I would have liked to
have been a part of it.

But I'm glad she had you.

She still does. I'll
never give up on her.

(SIGHS) I just put all
of this out of my
head for so long.

You, Nina, Kincaid.

Now it's just rushing
back, like a fresh wound.

And the enormity of what he
did to all of our lives.

God, it just makes
me so angry.

But in the end, we won.

We beat him.
Nina grew up

protected from any
knowledge of that
terrible past.

You forged a new life!
You have a husband, a home.

Go back to it, Kate.
You don't want to stir
up any ghosts.

No.

I kept quiet for too long.

You said it yourself.
Nina is a fighter.

I wanna show her
I'm a fighter too.

(BURTON SIGHS)

What's up?

Nothing. It's
about my son.

Was that his father?

No, his father and
I don't talk.

Sorry.
Don't be.

It's a good thing.

You don't have to
talk about it if
you don't want to.

I met him when I was working
undercover in Mexico.

It didn't end well.

That's why I don't let
my feelings interfere
with business.

Where do you think
they took Mom?

(BRIAN SHAKING DOOR)

They won't hurt her.
They need her for
the surgery.

What was that
all about?

Why do they need
building plans?

I'm not sure.

Then you should have
just given them to him.

It doesn't matter
what we do anyway.
We can't stop them.

If you believe
that, then they've
already won.

Morgan, look at me.

They put a bullet in me.

They took over my house.
They terrorized my family.

They threatened everything
I care about in this world.

And I'm not defeated.

And I'm not going to let
them defeat you.

It's not a physical battle.

It's psychological.

So long as we're united,
so long as we're
together on this.

We're so much stronger
than they'll ever be.

It doesn't matter how
many guns they have.

Look, when this
whole thing is over,

I don't want to say
goodbye to you.

I understand.

I feel the same way.

If something does
happen today,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry we didn't
get to spend more
time together.

TED: I just don't
see why your trip
to St. Theodore's

should be off the
record, Mr. President.

It's a great PR story.

A personal prayer visit
to a church built by your
great-grandfather?

That's a no-brainer to grab
more of the Christian vote.

I spend 90% of my day
on empty gestures, Ted.

Every once in a while,
I have to do something
that actually has meaning.

Listen. I know
I'm a sinner.

I have many flaws.

I make no apologies
for most of them.

It's simply my nature.

But I try to make
my peace with God,
nevertheless.

And if I'm gonna have
even the slimmest hope
for redemption,

I can't exploit that
by turning it into a
photo op.

Things move fast after an
assassination. You recall the
chaos when Reagan was shot?

And that was
unsuccessful.
First priority.

Are we absolutely certain
that nothing can be traced
back to us or our partners?

There's no direct
money trail.

The team we have in
place are professionals.

They'll disappear the
minute it's over.
And then?

NSA intercepts will be leaked
to the press implicating
a foreign terrorist cell.

Money transfers will point to
the involvement of a certain
Middle Eastern country.

And the rumor mill will
take it from there.

And my sister will
never know the truth.

Not that she's ever
been interested in it.

When will you move on the
FBI agent and his team?

As soon as the operation
is confirmed.

Wilson. Get a GPS trace up on
the phone Carlisle was using
to communicate with Logan.

I want you to start
monitoring his position.

The rest of his team, too.
WILSON: Yes, sir!

The foreign terrorist
cell is a nice touch.

It will set things up
perfectly with the
vice president.

When are you
speaking with him?
I'm on my way now.

We're going to discuss
potential running mates for
his presidential campaign.

Are you confident
you have his ear?

100%.

When I'm finished,
you will be at the
top of his list.

Ellen! Hi.

I think I got
everything you
asked for.

Is there anything
else I can do?
No, thank you.

You know, I really
admire you.

I do.

The way you're
standing by him.

The only reason I got involved
with Brian is just the way
he described things.

The way, the way things
were between you two.

The way things
were between us?

He told me that your
marriage was a lie.

But clearly that's not
the case.

The fact that you're doing
all of this for him, even
after finding out about us, I,

I admire it and I'm
so, so sorry, Ellen.

I'm so sorry.
Thank you, Samantha.

Thank you.

(BEEPING)
Sir, I can't track
Agent Carlisle's phone.

Did you try the girl?

The one Logan has working
for us in Duncan's group?

Can't reach her. And
there's nothing emanating
from their burner phones.

They removed
their batteries.

Start pulling up satellite
imagery and running it
through facial recognition.

Find them. I don't
want any loose ends.

Why are we switching burners?
The one calling the shots
isn't playing games.

If they win today,
they'll be looking
to get rid of us.

How do you know?
Because that's what I would
do if I were in their shoes.

What would you pick?
Hard to say from here.

ARCHER: I think we should
split up. Search all three.

Kincaid will be here in
exactly 72 minutes.

That's not enough time for
a proper sweep on one
of these buildings.

We need more info. Ellen
should be calling any
minute. We wait for her.

I think you're putting way
too much faith in her.

I'm not as big a believer.

(CELL RINGING)

Ellen.

I have the plans,

but they're monsters,
like hundreds of pages.
I can't make heads or tails.

Okay, Ellen.
Find the Widmark Tower.

It has all black sheeting.

I need to know what kind of
coating is on the windows.

Um, okay, trying to find it.

DUNCAN: Focus, Ellen.

All these symbols and
markings, it's like
hieroglyphics.

What the hell does it matter
what glass coating?

They're inside the building,
they're not scaling it.

The coating illuminates
too much of the light
passing through,

it's going to be very
hard for them to get
an accurate view

from that distance
in the afternoon.

ELLEN: Okay, I found it.
The glass is high
efficiency-rated,

triple paint, 33% tint.

DUNCAN: Then they're
not in there. Okay Ellen,
the Ormont building.

From street level it
looks like it gives
a vantage point,

but it's built on
a corner lot.

Find the surveyor's report
for the foundation. I need
the exact angle it's built on.

Just look for terms like
anchor bolts, and rebars,
stuff like that.

Rebar. Here it is.

Engineer's foundation report,
42.5 degrees.

42 and a half degrees.

That angle, from
the highest floors?

Shooter would have to press
his trigger against the window
to get a good look down 25th.

Too hard a shot.

Building's out.

Then that's the building.

The De Soleil Hotel.

Okay Ellen, I've gotta go.
We don't have much time.
Go home, listen to the news.

If anything happens...

I know what to do.

Good luck.

I feel like I never get to
see you anymore, Vanessa.

You were the best
staffer I ever had.

A sacrifice of higher office.

You wanted to be
vice president.

No, I didn't. But it was
clear Paul Kincaid was going
to get the nomination,

so I just jumped
on the ticket.

And as I recall,

you're the one who
advised me to do it.

Politics makes
strange bedfellows.

It does indeed.

Which is why I want
your counsel again.

As you might imagine,
people are already
beginning to strategize

about the election
two years from now.

So you've made up your
mind to run when Kincaid's
second term is up?

It feels awfully early
to think about.
It's never too early.

So what about Senator
Lansbury as a running mate?

His people have
already approached me.

No.
No?

No senators.
No representatives.

Congress has a single-digit
approval rating. Anybody you
pick would be poison.

Since you were a governor, you
can't add another person with
a voting record to the ticket.

(SIGHS) So where
do I look?

You need a fresh face.
Not an elected official.

Someone with instant name
recognition, media appeal and
non-partisan credentials.

You'll need international
experience to bolster
the ticket and,

since you're from Texas,

you'll need somebody who
can deliver the coasts.

I know exactly who
you're describing.

I'm not describing anybody
in particular, just laying
out the facts.

You were always
the smartest person
in the room.

The only question is, are
you interested in running?

Kramer, remember snipers like
to work in pairs. Robert
Harper will have a spotter.

Statistically, he's a white
male, 20s, 30s.

Probably wearing sunglasses.
KRAMER: Sunglasses?

They like to protect
their eyes.

I got nothing.
Next floor. Let's move.

(DOOR CLOSING)

Sandrine, I think we
found the spotter.

Run room 3609, meet us
at the car in five.

Are you sure you want to
go through with this?
I am.

Okay.

Well, we might as
well do it properly.

I'll go get out my video
camera, and we'll tape
your statement.

I never knew Nina was so
much like her mother,

so strong-willed.

You know, I remember
one winter,

Nina wanted to stand on
her sled and go down
Franklin Hill.

I told her she could
get hurt, and she did.

Later, (CLEARS THROAT)

when she was being stitched
up at the doctor's office,
I thought I should be mad.

But I wasn't.
I was just scared.

The thought of something
happening to that girl
terrified me.

All I wanted was
to keep her safe.

And in that moment,
I knew that

there was nothing
that I wouldn't do
to protect her

for the rest of her life.

I'm asking you, for her
sake. Don't do this.

Reconsider.

If she is going to die,

let her go without knowing
the whole, ugly truth.

If you like, I could
talk to Nina.

We could change
our arrangement.

You would let the two of
us meet, face-to-face?

Yes.

Okay.

I'll, I'll wait.

I've kept this secret 35
years. I guess I can
keep it a little longer.

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

You have no idea how
glad I am you made that
decision, Katherine.

Ran the room. It
was paid in cash,

and the name it was
registered to had no
prior addresses

or matching Social
Security number.

No doubt it's them.
Keep lookout and
stay in communication.

Get behind the wheel and
keep the motor running.

You ready to
run 36 floors?

Time?
39 minutes.

Let's do it twice.

Quick. Quiet. Clean.

(MACHINE BLEEPS)

(TASER GOING OFF)

Clear!

That was the spotter.
Where's the shooter?

DUNCAN: The spotter's dead.
The sniper's gone.
What do you mean, gone?

They aren't taking the hit
from the hotel,

they're just using it to get
an eye on Kincaid.

Hold on. Hold on.

I have eyes on the sniper.
Robert Harper, he's with
another white male.

They're both wearing
electric company uniforms.

DUNCAN: Maintain surveillance.
SANDRINE: Copy that.

I've lost them.
DUNCAN: Don't move.

What do ya got?
Look at this.

The church is circled.
This is their plan.

I'm going to go through
the paperwork.

You keep an eye out
for Kincaid.
He's minutes away.

Hey, Logan, you're a real
ball of personality,
aren't you?

Sorry, Mr. President,
I'm just trying to keep
us on schedule.

Ah, we'll be fine.

(MACHINE BEEPING)

Sir, I've got a hit on Duncan
Carlisle in New York. 23rd and
Broadway, 15 minutes ago.

Son of a bitch.

BLAIR: He's at
the go location.

He's trying to sabotage
this whole thing.

President's convoy located.
Half click from the church.

Sandrine.

I found a public notice
about roadwork being done
on Broadway and 25th.

An electric company van parked
there wouldn't draw any
suspicion. Get over there now

and take 'em out.
Copy.

Got a red light.
It'll turn soon though.

ARCHER: They're almost
at the church.

Beta, this is Charlie. Do you
have target confirmation yet?

(STATIC)

Can't establish comm.
Proceed as planned.

I'll engage the target
with my scope,
if necessary.

ARCHER: Kincaid's arriving.

(CELL RINGING)

BLAIR: Listen to me.

You have been compromised.

Stay frosty, but I want
this operation carried out.

Copy that, sir. Situation
normal here. Only issue is
I've lost comm with Beta.

Two Canadian passports.
One for you,
one for your son.

Sandrine.
Sandrine!

Where are you?
You need to get to
them, and take the shot.

Clear to exit vehicle, sir.

Oof!

(BEEPS)

You all right? No falling
down on the job, Logan.

Oh. My sole is split.

I think we promoted you a
little too soon, son.

We gotta get out of here.

(VAN DOOR SLIDING OPEN)

Targets are down.

Copy that.

Meet you at the
rally point.

Nice work.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(VAN DOOR SLIDING SHUT)

BURTON: Okay, let's
go, sweetie.

We don't want to keep
that driver waiting.

(PHONE RINGING)

DUNCAN: It's me.

It's over. We did it.

Never lost faith that
you could pull it off.

See you when you get back.

Looks like Aunt
Leslie has the flu.

So, we won't be taking
that trip, after all.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

But I'll make it up to
you with some ice cream.

Come on.

Then we'll go to the park,
and then to the library!

They've been up
there all day.

So, did you...
Yes.

We saved him.

Mom.
Sweetheart.

Hey, honey.

Where were you.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.

You helped them?
Yeah, Samantha got
them for me.

She says hi.

What are you guys
talking about?

Nothing important,
sweetheart.

I can't believe
you did it.

No.

We did it.

You came through
for me, Ellen.

Without you,

I don't know what would
have happened today.

Well, I want you to know...

I'm ready.

To kill the president?

(WHISPERING)
Thank you.

Thank you.

(ELLEN SIGHS)

Don't move!

(GROANING IN PAIN)

(TIRES SCREECHING)
