Previously on The Event.
I have no idea what it says.
If he could read it,
Dempsey knew more than what he was telling you
about why we're here and about what happened.
Our star has begun to implode.
We will bring all of our people here
and make this planet our own.
She's doing what she has to to save us.
By committing genocide.
We need to make room.
The most efficient way to spread the pathogen
is by using three parallel distribution channels.
Within five weeks the vast majority of the human population
will be dead.
I know about the virus.
They used me as a way to change it.
I'm gonna get you out of there.
- You can't! - What?
I'm infected.
Everything we need to know about stopping the virus
is on there.
That's a lot of data to sort through.
The answer's right here.
We're just gonna have to figure it out on our own.
The President is awake.
Mr. President, open your eyes, sir.
Outstanding, sir. Yes.
I know you tried to kill me.
I am the President of the United States.
Not for long.
There needs to be a vote that you're capable.
You can barely stand, let alone lead this country.
We just got word from home. Our people are ready to come.
Your job is to power the array.
Ready to activate on your order.
Proceed.
Hey, Leila, stay with me.
Leila.
You have to stay awake, okay?
Sterling called a specialist at the CDC under the radar.
He said they'll be here any minute.
Okay?
It's too late for me.
You have to worry about everyone else.
It's not too late.
You can't think like that.
Sean, I know what this virus does.
They said no one can survive it.
No. Simon said that his people are immune to it.
You share some of that DNA, so...
You have it within you to fight this.
Please...find Sam.
Make sure she's okay.
Leila.
Hey. Stay with me.
Leila.
Leila!
Oh, thank God.
She's dehydrated, she's very weak.
How long has she been symptomatic?
Uh, I don't know, a day, maybe two or three.
Put her in a suit, get her ready for transport.
We're gonna take good care of her.
We need to get her to a proper facility.
And you need to leave the area.
Okay.
Leila?
I'll find you, okay?
It's gonna be fine.
I'll be there. Everything's gonna be okay.
They built a model projecting the spread of the disease
over the next five weeks.
Running the projection backwards
tells us where the attacks will originate.
By 5:30 today the pathogen will have been released
at these three locations:
A food processing plant outside of Richmond, Virginia;
the U.S. Bureau of Engraving in D.C.;
and the international terminal at Dulles Airport.
Food, money, and travel.
Within days it will be everywhere.
Do we know what kind of delivery mechanisms
they're using?
Yeah. These.
Pressurized aerosol containers.
We have to assume they're either on their way
or already in place at the three locations.
Teams one and two are in place,
prepping canisters for release,
no delays or disruptions.
All right, pull over here.
Is there a problem?
It'll be safer if we're stopped.
Sophia.
What are we doing here?
How did you know?
Gerard.
He said the portal would impact the Earth's procession,
that we'd feel the effects along the 38th parallel
as the time grew near.
The portal is creating a door in the fabric of space
and we just cracked it open.
Sophia...I know you have mixed feelings
about what we're doing to the native population.
But think about the alternative.
Our people are arriving soon.
I don't have the luxury of self-doubt.
We have to get this done.

A small earthquake, measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale,
was felt along the East Coast today.
There have been no reports of injuries or deaths.
Geologists say the tremor is of note
for one very peculiar reason.
They have yet to identify any fault
that would explain how the quake originated.
Scientists are baffled
by the swarm of similar magnitude quakes
that have shaken several other areas around the globe.
It's Sterling.
He's with Simon.
You're on with the President.
Mr. President, we need your help.
We've determined Sophia's releasing the virus
at a food processing plant outside of Richmond,
the Bureau of Engraving,
and the Dulles Airport International Terminal.
My God.
We need you to dispatch counterterrorism teams
to these locations immediately.
Jarvis is challenging my reinstatement.
And I am forcing a vote of the Cabinet.
I can't issue any orders until that happens.
What's the timeframe?
It'll take another hour to gather the Cabinet.
Maybe two.
By then it may be too late.
We can launch contained operations
at the Bureau of Engraving
and the food processing plant.
And as Chief of Staff, Richard, you can send teams in
via written orders from the Office of the President.
Jarvis wouldn't have to know.
No.
Now, shutting down a terminal at an international airport,
that's another matter.
Well, we need to do something one way or another.
If Sophia succeeds in infecting passengers
and they travel to other countries,
there will be no way to stop the spread of this virus.
President Martinez and Peel are doing everything they can,
but it looks like it may be up to us
to stop Sophia's operation at the airport.
Us? Four people? How are we supposed to do that?
We can call in a bomb threat.
Shut the airport down that way.
Even if it worked, as soon as we actually started
to shut the place down
Sophia could still release the virus
and infect everyone in the terminal.
Our only option is to get there,
stay under the radar,
and try to locate Sophia ourselves.
I need to speak with you.
Uh, give us a minute.
Yes, sir.
If you're trying to convince me to step down again,
don't waste your breath.
It's up to the Cabinet now.
And I think we both know what they'll decide
when they see the condition you're in.
Oh, forget about the vote, Ray.
All I care about is saving this country
and stopping Sophia from doing something--
Sophia doesn't need to be stopped.
I negotiated a peace with her.
You need to shut down the international terminal
at Dulles and send in a bio-containment team
immediately.
What are you talking about? Why?
She is planning to release a deadly virus there--
so her people can take this planet for themselves.
That's ridiculous.
She wouldn't do that.
I know it's a lot for you to accept.
She's been lying to you.
That's not true.
I swear on everything I hold dear,
I am telling you the truth.
Why else, on earth,
would I be asking you to shut down the airport?
To make me look like a fool.
Like I'm not in control of the situation with Sophia
so the Cabinet will look past your medical problems
and reinstate you.
Ray...I'm willing to make a deal
to let you finish your term
by keeping the truth of what you've done between us.
Now, you do nothing,
I'll expose you to the Cabinet,
tell them everything you've done.
Do you really think the Cabinet would believe
that I poisoned you to make a deal with Sophia?
You have no proof of what I did to you
or the arrangements I made with Sophia
or you would have used it.
You'll only look crazy
and prove my point
that you're in no shape to lead this country.
I'll see you at the vote.
- Sophia. - Raymond, what is it?
Martinez just confronted me.
And he--he made accusations.
About what?
That you are about to release a virus
on American soil.
When was this?
Just now--is it true?
Of course not.
How do I know you're not lying to me?
That you haven't been lying to me from the very beginning?
Listen to me.
Tomorrow there will be a new world order
with your guiding hand.
You only need to hang on
for one more day.
Do you understand?
Yes.
You must not let anyone get in our way.
Can you do that?
Yes.
I chose you
because of your strength.
Your power.
Use it.
We may have a problem.
They know.
Somehow they know.
I'll get these around security,
hand them back off to you and Carlos
inside the terminal. Good.
It might be better for us to stay out of sight
for the exchange.
This card will get you past the security door
near gate 122.
Code's on the back.
Go through the hallway.
We'll meet back there in time for the 5:30 release.
No, they've found out. We can't afford to wait.
As soon as each of us has our canister in place
we'll release the virus immediately.
I'm here at the base of Mt. Shasta,
where volcanic experts are stumped
by reports of new lava flows
coming from this thought-to-be-dormant volcano.
Concerns of a full-scale eruption
are growing among locals.
But so far, no official mention of an evacuation.
Teams are on their way to two of the three sites.
But the airport is still the most lethal part
of Sophia's plan.
Any word from Sterling or Agent Lee?
They're on their way
with two civilians who are helping them.
But even they believe the odds of success to be small.
The Cabinet has to reinstate me.
It's our only chance.
Yes, sir.
Elias.
You can't do this.
You're not well enough yet.
It looks worse than it is.
You heard what the doctor said.
If you don't rest, you can--
you can die.
Freeze!
Once the canisters are connected to the auxiliary well,
I can direct the control room to switch over.
How much money can we infect with the virus?
As long as the presses continue rolling--
Blue team, go!
The rest of you, secure the canisters.
I see. All right.
That was Peel.
The President wasn't able to get anywhere with Jarvis.
We're on our own.
From what I saw on their laptop,
an inside man is supposed to get the canisters
past security for Sophia
through an off-limits area near baggage claim three.
All right, Agent Lee and I will follow that route.
Sophia's supposed to meet them in the international terminal,
so we'll look for her there.
Baggage claim three is now loading from Bangkok...
Hey, Eddie.
Will.
Confiscate anything good?
Hey!
You mind if I take these?
Me and the wife like to keep things invigorating.
Oh, too much information. Just keep 'em.
This is your final call for Flight 308 to Amsterdam...
Yeah, just move them through.
Step through.
Ma'am...
Grab your luggage and step over here, please.
- Is there a problem? - Random check.
I don't have any bags. I checked everything.
On the yellow mark, please.
Arms out.
Not while you're being checked, ma'am.
Sorry.
- You're fine, ma'am. - Thank you.
- Hello? - They knew we were here.
They stopped us before we could release the virus.
I'm sorry, Sophia. We were outgunned.
What about the food plant? What about Aaron?
I haven't been able to reach him.
We got him! We got him!
It's up to you now, Sophia.
Freeze!
Devon?
The attack at the Bureau of Engraving was stopped.
Some of the pathogen was released
at the food-processing plant,
but it was contained by the biohazard team.
Good. And the airport?
Nothing yet.
You okay?
Sir.
Baggage Claim Three is now close.
Please collect unclaimed bags at the main office
in Concourse Two.
I'm looking for a man with TSA credentials.
Would've just passed this way.
This man is carrying a biological weapon
he's going to release inside the terminal.
Are you law enforcement? You have some I.D.?
My name is Blake Sterling.
I'm the Director of National Intelligence.
Now, answer the question. Listen...
You show me some I.D., or I'm gonna have you two arrested.
Count of three-- did he come this way or not?
Yeah.
Yeah, Delgado came by a minute ago with a cart of stuff.
I've got a visual.
Freeze!
Cover me.
Simon!
The vest...
took the impact.
I'll be all right.
Ah, damn it.
Yeah?
We had a visual on Sophia's man, but we lost him--
5'9", dark hair, tsa uniform.
We need a location.
He's headed up in the elevator
to gates 120 to 140, back of house.
He has the canisters.
We need to find a way to get into the secured side.
Two men right behind me-- I shot one of them.
I think it was Simon. We have to hurry.
You know where to take the canisters
for maximum distribution.
- What if we're challenged? - Don't wait. Open the valves.
Go.
Sophia.
Go! I'll cover you!
Go!
I'll take him.
Ugh!
He's down.
Where's Sophia?
She went that way.
You go that way.
As much as I'd like to give Eli the benefit of the doubt,
there have been earthquakes all across the country.
- We're in crisis mode. - I understand.
Ladies and gentlemen,
without the attendance of President Martinez,
I have no choice but to formally withdraw
his petition for reinstatement.
Acting President Jarvis will continue in his role
until further notice.
Please advise your st...
Members of the Cabinet...
Mr. Vice President...
Let's begin.
I think it's safe to say
that, uh, none of us would be here today
without Elias Martinez.
Elias Martinez is one of the greatest presidents
of my generation.
And I look forward to the day when he is able to serve
this country once again.
But today is not that day.
Please refer to the dossiers that you have in front of you.
These are the current medical records
of President Martinez.
As you will note on page 3, paragraph 4,
President Martinez wasn't officially cleared
for discharge from Bethesda Hospital.
He simply left...
Against the recommendations of his own doctors.
In fact, a team of his physicians
recommended months of recuperation--
months, not days.
This is a man who suffered from bleeding on the brain
and was in a vegetative state.
I know that President Martinez
wants to do the right thing for his country,
and so do we all.
But the medical evidence is overwhelmingly clear.
To take office now is not in the best interests of anyone,
especially not himself.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
And I promise you that I will uphold
the ideals of this office until you return.
Thank you very much.
The Vice President is right.
In an ideal world...
I would have more time to recover,
and I wouldn't be standing here before you,
but I have no choice.
I must be reinstated...
to prevent a tragedy that is unparalleled in human history,
a tragedy that is born
of the insecurity and the hubris
of Vice President Raymond Jarvis--
a man so deluded and hungry for power
that he would sell his soul and the soul of this country--
I think we can all agree
that this is not the forum for name-calling.
Vice President Jarvis is responsible
for what happened to me.
Oh, that's insane!
Everyone in this room is aware of the situation
with Sophia and her people.
What you don't know is that the Vice President
has been working behind the scenes with her,
helping, inadvertently or not, to unleash a deadly virus
that will decimate mankind.
That's insane! He's lying!
We must act now to stop the genocide of humanity.
This is preposterous!
Now, you can see how unwell this man is.
Quiet! Everyone, quiet!
I begged the Vice President to shut down Dulles Airport
and stop Sophia from spreading the pathogen.
This is delusional!
And he refused, because he was too proud...
- No, this is-- - to believe the truth--
that he was being manipulated by Sophia.
He is lying!
I am not.
And I can prove it.
These are your words, Mr. Vice President.
If you do nothing, I'll expose you to the Cabinet,
tell them everything you've done.
Do you really think the Cabinet would believe
that I poisoned you to make a deal with Sophia?
You have no proof of what I did to you
or the arrangements I made with Sophia,
or you would've used it.
This...
This is...
is doctored.
This is a setup. It is.
We are running out of time.
Madame Speaker...
We need to vote.
Shutdown Dulles. No flights in or out.
And get Armbruster and Sterling reinstated.
What about Jarvis?
Who?
Sophia.
Sophia!
Sean!
Sophia's locked herself inside.
Martinez did it--all the flights have been canceled.
Sterling said
that the other two locations have been neutralized.
Sophia can still release the virus from here.
- We have to get everyone out. - We can't.
They've locked down all the exits.
Sophia, we know what you're trying to do,
but it's not going to matter now.
You're the only one left.
I can see why Michael was so fond of you.
You are remarkably resourceful.
I'm sorry it has to end this way.
It doesn't have to end, Sophia.
Of course it has to end.
I understand that you just wanted to help your people,
but your plan didn't work.
We've secured the other locations.
The virus has been contained.
If you release the virus here,
all it will do is kill only the people in this terminal.
There will be no benefit to your people.
It will just be murder.
They don't deserve to die, Sophia.
Did my people deserve to die?
On those buses, my son-- did my son deserve to die?
No.
- No, he didn't. - No.
- You don't want this. - You don't know me.
Your attention, please.
Dulles International Airport is now on lockdown.
Please remain calm and stay inside the terminal.
Maybe I don't know you,
but I do know that when we first met,
you weren't like this.
You told me that you and your people
came here in peace.
You remember that?
Do you remember telling me that?
Yes, I...But things...
No, things have changed.
I know. I know.
Simon told me what's happened.
That you were forced by circumstances,
by--by pain.
There's been enough pain, Sophia.
For everyone.
Including you.
You can end this, Sophia.
No one else needs to get hurt.
You should know
that the spread of the virus has stopped.
How?
At least in part because of someone you know.
Sean Walker.
Sean?
Is he okay?
Yes, he's all right.
There's something else, Leila.
Something we found in your labs.
All right, your readings are coming up clean.
We'll let you know as soon as we double check the tox screen.
Okay, thank you.
All right, Ms. Roberts. We're ready to scan you now.
Please follow me.
This isn't over yet.
Look, I don't know how, but...
As far as I know, Sophia's still bringing our people here.
Sean, what you need to know is
our people were here before.
We were here first.
I don't-- I don't understand.
This place was our home before it was yours.
Why did you...leave?
Because my people believe that if we stay here
something will happen
to all of us.
We call it The Event.
It's a rebirth.
The next step for our people.
We'll change.
Evolve into something else.
Something greater.
But your people won't survive it.
Why not?
What happens?
Our transportation's here.
We're needed at the White House...Now.
Wait. Simon.
Simon!
Look, all the answers are hidden in that scroll.
About where we come from...
And about how this all ends.
- Blake. - Mr. President.
Ah.
It is good to see you, sir.
And you.
Agent Lee.
I believe I owe you my life.
Thank you.
And anything else we have to say to each other,
we'll talk about later.
Yes, sir.
Now, we know Sophia
intends on bringing her people here.
I need to know when, how, and if we can stop it.
Sophia's still being secured and vetted,
and we can't expect her to tell us anything.
What do we know?
Well, I assume the portal that Thomas built
is a part of how she's doing it.
But there were never more than vague rumors
as to where it might be.
Director Sterling told me your world is dying,
and that Sophia intended on bringing
your entire population here.
How many people are we talking about?
2 1/2 billion.
Now that she's failed to make room,
you sure she won't call it off?
She has no choice.
Our sun is close to supernova.
The planet is being irradiated.
Where does she think she's going to put
2 1/2 billion people?
I don't know, sir.
It doesn't seem possible to me,
but it is Sophia's plan.
These rumors about the location of the portal.
How precise were they?
They weren't.
Most of them had the portal located somewhere in Asia,
but doesn't exactly pin it down.
- It's a start. - It may be more than that.
I was going over the hourly logs
across the departments.
According to the NSA, Jarvis personally ordered them
to redirect the surveillance satellite
that covers part of Asia-- an area in Tibet.
We've adjusted the satellite back to its default position
and are receiving streaming data.
What are we looking at?
This is an area between
the Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan plateau.
And we're picking up an area of anomalous
electromagnetic radiation just south of the plateau.
Stand by for that.
What is that?
That's it.
The portal array.
The electromagnetic radiation.
That means it's been activated.
What does that mean?
It means they're coming.
It was just so clean.
The Chinese premier will have it checked out,
but there's no way he'd bomb it,
no matter how much of the truth I told him.
You sure there's nothing else you can tell us?
About its mechanics
or anything to counteract it, stop it?
No. I'm sorry. I wish I could.
What the hell is happening?
The mysterious tremors are continuing
to rattle nerves around the globe,
with Capetown and Sydney being the latest cities
to experience the shaking.
These are just the latest in an increasingly
long list of unusual happenings
that have been occurring all over the world
in the past 24 hours.
Sophia's a few minutes away.
A yet-to-be-identified geomagnetic phenomenon
is most likely to blame.
Uh, no thanks.
I-I really appreciate you waiting here with me,
but you don't have to--
Mr. Walker.
Sorry for the delay.
You've been cleared to see Leila in the observation area.
I'll take you. Okay.
Sean.
Yeah?
I didn't join this fight willingly.
And I know that...
You forcing me to is the reason why my family is safe.
And because of you,
I'm no longer ashamed to face them.
Thank you.
Good-bye.
It's right through here.
Straight through there.
Thanks.
I know they're working on a way to help you.
They're trying.
But even with all the tests, they...
They still don't know much.
They'll figure it out.
I know they'll find a way to cure you.
There's something...
That I have to tell you.
What?
Something that... They did find.
What? What is it?
Leila, please.
I'm pregnant.
What?
She told me this morning, and I...
Heh.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
You're-- you're gonna be okay.
You're both gonna be okay.
I love you.
I love you so much.
On TV: Jim, what we're seeing here in New Orleans
is really two disasters hitting at the same time...
We've identified the portal array in Tibet.
And we know it's bringing your people here.
I've told them... everything I know
about the portal.
How do we stop it, Sophia?
How do we shut it down?
You can't.
Well, do you have a predetermined landing site?
You know I won't answer that.
Sophia, it's over. You lost.
We stopped you.
You might find this hard to believe,
but the truth is...
I ordered the spread of the virus
as an act of mercy.
We will still need to make room for our people here
one way or another.
However, now the only choice open to us will be...
Far from humane.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
I'm sorry, Mr. President.
Sorry about what?
It's too late.
What is it?
Home.
