Prisoner X Page #5

- So Abraham hasn't

abandoned you after all.

'S got an agent in here,

helping you run the show,

because that's what

this is, isn't it?

Is a show.

Your accident, your capture.

15 years of bullshit!

All designed to send us

on a wild-goose chase,

invading country after country,

keeping us from where

we really need to be.

- Slow down.

Hm?

Where would you get a

crazy idea like that?

- It's the truth!

Admit it!

- You really need to

get some sleep, Carmen,

because now,

you're just hallucinating.

- You f***in'...

Make you pay for my sister!

For Fischer!

For my niece!

Everyone else!

- Step back.

Stop it.

- Get on the floor.

- What?

- Get on

the god-damn floor.

- What are you doing, ma'am?

- You working for this

son of a b*tch now?

Huh?

You an agent for Abraham?

- What?

- I saw you, Jim. In

the electrical room.

What have you got in

there, a com device?

A weapon?

- It's nothing, ma'am.

It's just some weed.

- Weed?

- Look, they search

our quarters regularly.

There's nowhere else to hide it.

- What's going on here?

- Then it's you.

You're the mole.

Why else would you send

secret messages to the sec-def

and then cover your tracks?

- You're out of

your f***in' mind.

- Why?

- Get her out of here.

- Who else is involved? Huh?

Who are the other traitors?

- Bring her to detention, now.

- I was trying to

be discreet, okay?

It was a personal matter I

talked to the sec-def about.

- A personal matter. Really.

- My daughter is on one

of those aircraft carriers

headed for the Indian ocean.

I'm gonna get her

transferred back to base.

It's inappropriate,

I know but right now

I don't give a rat's ass.

I'll do whatever I can

to protect my family.

Wouldn't you?

- But you didn't, Carmen.

You abandoned your family!

No wonder you can't sleep.

Guilt, as they say,

should never be doubted.

- No.

- Calm down.

What's the matter with you?

- Fischer had a lot

of faith in you.

I think you're delusional.

Your mission here is

terminated, agent Reese.

Now get out of my facility.

- Things have

gotten strange, Carmen.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

- You abandoned your family!

- I saw my son yesterday.

- No wonder you can't sleep.

- Guilt, as they

say, should never be doubted.

- Guilt, as they

say, should never be doubted.

Agent Carmen Reese?

- Yep.

- Please hold for the president.

- Mr. president.

- Well you've certainly ruffled

a few feathers, agent Reese.

I haven't seen the sec-def this

steamed up in a long while.

Jefferson too.

- It was a mistake.

I went overboard with

my suspicions, sir.

- No, you did exactly what was

needed in times like these.

We could use more

people like you.

The NSA sent this over today.

They now believe that

Abraham and his men

have the capability to

impersonate anyone they want

through genetic manipulation.

Can you imagine that?

Anyone.

Did you know that on the

day Indian point was bombed,

Fischer was out on leave?

- And?

- Maybe he was one of them.

- Sir, if Fischer was one of

Abraham's men then maybe I am.

Maybe you are too.

- How dare you.

- Maybe you don't even know it.

If our enemies have the

ability to impersonate us,

they could rewire our brains.

I mean, why not start

with the president

of the United States?

- Well what happened

about Fischer then?

If he was innocent, why

did he kill himself?

- I think it had something

to do with the message

that he got from doctor

Ellis a few days earlier.

- From project sigma.

- Fischer was close to

figuring something out.

He confronted Ramiro, we

have no idea what was said,

but Ramiro told him something

that devastated him.

- Fischer was already feeling

guilty and his visitor...

- the mole?

- Fischer's visitor wasn't

one of Abraham's agents.

- Then who was he?

- Do you realize

what you've done?

All those lives lost.

All the destruction.

It's all your fault, dad.

- Jordan, please stop.

Please stop.

- What, you want me

to f***ing pity you?

You want me to

take you in my arms

and tell you everything

will be okay?

- Stop.

I don't even know why

I'm talking to you.

You're a god-damn hallucination.

- You wanna get rid of me?

There's only one way to do that.

And you know what it is.

- Fischer's dead son?

- Jordan died of a drug overdose,

Fischer was a single dad,

he blamed himself.

- But what's this

gotta do with Ramiro?

- Because Ramiro

was the only one

that could give Fischer the

redemption that he needed

in the form of a time machine.

That's why Fischer

was so desperate

to make project sigma work.

Whatever Ramiro told him

that day shattered it,

once and for all.

- And that caused

him to hallucinate?

- No, that was because

of his hyper-insomnia

which he'd had at sandbox

since he got there.

- And how in all the world

would you possibly know that,

agent Reese?

- I knew Fischer very well, sir.

And, I've been having the

same thing at sandbox.

Insomnia, hallucinations...

- and you think

Ramiro's doing this.

Yes?

Okay, do it.

Civil liberties are the least

of my concern right now.

His name came up during

an internal review.

- What did he do?

- Nothing.

Thank you coming, agent Reese.

I'm gonna reinstate you

to your job for now.

I don't care what you

do, who you piss off,

just get me results, and soon.

- Yes, sir.

- You can't change the past.

- But we can create a new one.

- And nudge it in any

direction we want.

- What if Abraham is

arming the separatists?

They seem to be gaining ground

both in Russia and in China.

- How many came?

- 99 of us.

We traveled in small

groups over the mountains

towards Pakistan.

- We haven't found

a functioning equation.

That's the problem.

- They played the

Arabs against the Persians,

the Asians against the Africans

and watched them

devour each other.

- Paranoia, the greatest

weapon there is.

Mr. president.

- What now, agent Reese?

- Mr. Ident, I can

get you what you want.

But I need full-authority,

level five clearance.

- Level five?

- I know you don't trust

anybody right now, sir,

but you don't have

another option.

- Carmen!

- I've been pounding on

the door, are you okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, Jefferson.

Look, I'm sorry. I

owe you an apology.

- Yeah well you can

forget about it.

Russia's been hit.

- Hit?

- - Moscow.

Half a megaton.

- Holy sh*t.

- And it's gonna get worse.

Seems in the chaos

after Indian point,

someone with the necessary

skills ripped open

an airforce bunker and

took eight warheads.

This is just one of them.

Looks like someone wants

payback for Indian point.

- Yeah but the Russians

weren't responsible.

I mean, at least not directly.

- Clearly not

everyone believes it.

- What's the word

from the Kremlin?

- There is no Kremlin.

Luckily, their

president was talking

to the Chinese premier

in Saint Petersburg.

We've talked to him a

couple of times since.

I have to talk to the

sec-def for further updates.

- Okay, I'll talk to my sources
