Armed Response Page #2

---

Five years ago,

he went on the run

and has been a ghost ever since.

So how does one of the world's most

wanted war criminals end up on our shores?

He flew.

Found it in the evidence.

Prague to Heathrow to MSY.

That's impossible.

You check the wire

yesterday?

On my day off?

TSA issued a memo.

Facial recall went offline

three different times.

-Where?

-MSY, Heathrow, Prague.

All of Ahmadi's connections

at the exact same moment

he was passing through.

All right, we're ready.

We don't have a lot of power,

-so let's make this quick.

-Riley, you're up.

All right, we should have just

enough power to break him down.

He's got an itch.

What? Where?

Right there.

Otherwise right now,

he's flat.

At least we know who's

responsible.

Do we?

What, he kills everybody and

then locks himself in the tank?

Makes no sense.

I should warn you, everything

you say, do, think or feel

can and will be

used against you.

Pretty impressive,

taking out a place like this

on our own turf.

It's a tad more difficult than

gunning down unarmed citizens.

Watch your tone.

English, pig Latin...

you can't hide in here.

The f*** was that?

What was that?

I don't know,

some kind of electrical surge.

Now you torture me?

How did you find this place?

Simple.

I followed your instructions.

What the hell

does that mean?

All readings indicate

he's telling the truth.

Is there something

I should know, Isaac?

Only what's in

this a**hole's head.

Bullshit!

I was sent coordinates.

I followed them to here.

Don't play games with me.

I'm not the one playing games.

And I tire of yours.

Go, go, go.

Release me now or she dies.

Let her go right now! Right now!

You've got three

f***ing seconds, guy!

Release me now or she dies.

Release me now

or I will kill her!

Can't do that.

Can't do that.

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

Stop, stop, put them down!

-Who are you?

-I'm the guy who built this place.

And I know that

you're telling the truth.

You didn't choose to come here,

did you, General?

You were delivered.

And you want to know by who

just as badly as I do,

and because they found you once,

they're gonna find you again,

which means

there's nowhere to run.

I need you.

I need you to help me figure out

what has happened here.

So put it down.

Put it down.

F***ing mutt.

Now what?

Now we see what the hell

happened here last night.

Temple playback, begin.

How does it know

when to cut?

It's editing logic based

on activity and biometrics.

Look, I know what you're

thinking, okay?

-Just drop it.

-All right, all right.

Don't say anything.

So,

how was last night?

Yeah, good times.

-You doing okay today, buddy?

-Yeah, I'm all right.

Gotta keep the peepers open.

You know... wild man.

You know what? I'm just glad

to be back on friendly shores.

-Preach.

-Nothing like winters in the Hindu Kush.

Man...

Proximity alert.

No f***ing way.

Ahmadi?

What the f*** is he doing here?

All right, people.

We're on the clock.

Stack up and move out.

Double-time. Let's go.

You said there were no alerts.

Yeah, there were none

whatsoever.

What was transmitted to Langley?

I'm pulling it up now.

Langley feed playback, begin.

I'm just glad to

be back on friendly shores.

Preach.

Here comes the alarm.

Proximity alert.

You sure you got

the right night?

Yeah, check the time stamps.

The time stamps

are exactly the same.

This is direct from

the servers here in the Temple.

That was broadcast to Langley,

and this is what

actually happened.

Anyone care to explain

how the same camera

recorded different events

at the same goddamn time?

-Who's with you?!

-No one.

How many, goddamn it?

-I am alone.

-Talk, f***er!

You sent a passport and ticket

to my account.

You said the path was clear

and it was imperative

-that we meet at once.

-Nobody sent you sh*t.

Let's put his ass

in the chair.

Negative.

Put him in the tank.

-How many, goddamn it?

-I am alone.

Talk, f***er!

You sent a passport

and ticket to my account...

Looks like

he's telling the truth.

- Imperative that we meet at once.

-Nobody sent you...

-Negative.

-I don't know why he's here.

They're just as confused

as we are.

Happens when a monster

pops up on your radar.

Help me.

Something's got them spooked.

We don't get spooked.

Maybe the system was hacked

to change the footage.

Temples don't get hacked.

What the f***?

Back... back up.

Resume playback.

What's he firing at?

Come on.

Although I walk through the valley

of death, I shall fear no evil.

Yeah. Although I walk through the

valley of death, I shall fear no evil,

'cause I'm the baddest

motherf***er in the valley!

Who's got the goddamn knife?

I mean, this is impossible.

It's like...

What?

It's like we're only seeing

what it wants us to see.

"It"?

The Temple.

Resume playback.

Help me.

Help me.

Somebody help me.

Somebody help me.

Who's there?

Who's there?

No...

Who's there?

-Who's there?

-Help me.

Hello?

He killed her.

Warning, warning.

Temple power system failure.

Power dropped off a cliff.

-But what drained it?

-It's the Temple.

For some reason, it started running a

thousand diagnostics at the same time.

Every command by authorized

personnel is logged...

except the logs during

the attack are empty.

Are you saying

what I think you're saying?

The Temple was issuing

its own commands.

What is she seeing?

My God, please,

please help.

What do you want?!

What do you want from me?

God...

Sh*t.

Supposed to be

a cush post,

a reward for

13 years in hell.

Well, hell will find you

anywhere.

I'm sorry I dragged you

into this,

subjected you to this.

I want to find out what happened to our

people just as badly as you do, Isaac.

How do we do that?

Well, Temples were built

to expose the truth.

We just have to figure out how

to get her back to full power.

Find the glitch?

Not sure there is a glitch.

Look, we know how protective

you are of your baby, Gabe,

but I think it's pretty clear

here Hal's blown a spark plug.

Look, Brett, Temples are designed to

reveal activity at a quantum state.

At those levels,

fakery is simply impossible.

Maybe it's time to consider

the impossible.

Saeed, the last thing we need right

now is any of your voodoo bullshit.

Listen, just because

you possess a narrow worldview

doesn't mean that

the rest of us must abide.

No, you're right.

Somebody see if

we got a Ouija board.

Shut up, Brett.

So you believe him?

What about you, Tyler?

Isaac? Anybody?

Exactly.

Sh*t.

Gabe, you invented the thing.

You know more about its

capabilities than any of us.

Has anything like this

ever happened before?

No.

No, 'cause it's a hack,

plain and simple.

The bastards are probably watching

us right now laughing their asses off.

-We're cut off.

-As far as he knows.

He knows more than anyone.

-He doesn't know sh*t!

-Enough.

Look, no offense and he's

your friend at all, Chief,

but he can't even keep
