XIII: The Series

Ugh...

Ugh!

Ugh!

Like a deer caught in the headlights...

We're at war!

Because you have nothing left to live for.

Crash!

President Sheridan: The assassination of my sister...

former president Sally Sheridan...

we are guided by a power larger than ourselves.

Splash!

Ugh!

You volunteered to help protect your country.

That's the kind of man you were.

Thirteen is bad luck...

Carrington: Your wife and daughter were killed.

Amos: Everyone has a breaking point...

Ahhhhhhh!

Exercise yard.

I'll pass.

Exercise yard!

Ugh!

Ahhhhhhh!

Thud

Ugh!

Doctor: Give me the paddles...

Clear...

Shock

Clear again...

Shock

Time of death 11:07.

The series " Pilot"

I was a secret Agent...

Betrayed by my own people.

Robbed of my face, my memories, my history...

hidden in my past is a secret

that threatens all humanity.

I search for answers with nothing to hold onto

but the tattoo that has become my name...

I am XIII.

Amos: That just about sums it up, Mr. president.

What about those additional AIT's we talked about.

We deployed fifteen more last week.

Fifteen.

That brings us to 300 advanced imaging technology units

at airports across the country.

We need more.

What's the threat level?

Homeland has us at yellow.

Orange for domestic and international flights.

But for the moment,

I think your concerns have been met.

For the moment.

That's the operational phrase.

You're the director of national intelligence.

I expect you to stay on top of it.

I will, sir.

Amos: Walk with me.

There was a lot of blowback from President Carrington

at this morning's security briefing.

Give me something good.

There was an incident in one of the camps.

Our inmate died this morning

of an apparent heart attack.

Apparent?

We don't have a lot of intel yet.

You're the head of the CIA, Giordino.

Get it.

Yes, sir.

He'll be fine.

Where am I?

Some place safe.

Your body has been through a lot.

The doctors we brought says you're dead.

Who the hell are you?

Someone who wants to help you to find what you want the most.

Your real identity.

Why?

Why?

Yeah, why do you want to help me?

What do you want in return?

A small favour.

The last time I did a favour...

it was for my country and I ended up

behind twelve feet of barbed wire in the middle of Romania.

We didn't have anything to do with that.

Who's we?

You ask so many questions.

My whole life's a big question...

what do you want?

There is a safety deposit box that's only accessible by you.

We want what's inside.

Which is?

We have no idea.

Not interested.

It's you.

I've been shown photos before.

Carrington: Your name is Ross Tanner.

It's all lies.

This one's not.

This one's from the one person who knows who you are.

Why should I believe you?

Because we went to a lot of trouble to get you out of that camp.

What if I say no?

It's a lot less trouble to get you back inside.

Take a look at the media file.

You'll find it very informative.

Apparently the body is missing along with one of the guards

and the head of the medical staff.

Amos: He's alive.

That is a possibility of course,

however, so far hard to tell.

He's alive.

Not long after you were sent away the press uncovered a scandal,

involving President Sheridan's Vice-president Michael Langston.

Sheridan selected Ben Carrington as his new Vice-president.

Though their political stances were at odds,

Sheridan knew Carrington would be a popular choice with the country.

Almost a year after that, Wally Sheridan was diagnosed

with an unstable, cronic illness and Ben Carrington was sworn in

as the current President of the United States nine months ago.

Name is Sam. You gonna tell me your name?

Sam: You've got the dark and mysterious thing down pat.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm, um, trying to verify the authenticity of this photo.

I was told you were an expert.

Well I don't know about that, but I'll do what I can.

Have we met before?

No, I just got into town.

You seem familiar.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Well it appears to be a genuine chemical capture photo.

Which would be consistent with the period.

I'm guessing early to mid 80's.

There is only gamma in the paper.

It seems to be an authentic, analog print from an analog source.

Can you tell me if the boy's birth mark is real?

Photoshopping leaves artifacts...

doesn't appear to be manipulated.

But that's not to say the birth mark isn't make-up.

I hope that it helps.

It helps a lot.

How much do I owe you?

No charge.

Are you sure?

I believe if you treat a customer well,

he will be a customer for life.

Thanks.

This way.

You came.

Splash!

He's down.

Yeah...

the target is terminated.

Gasp!

Crash!

Ugh!

What are you doing here?

You need a better lock on your back door.

You need a better answer.

I needed a place to stay?

That's why they invented hotels.

Put the gun down.

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

Ugh...

Let me see your shoulder.

I'm fine.

Bleeding all over my floor is not fine!

Take off your jacket and shirt before I shoot you.

Don't ya think that'd be counterproductive?

Take off your shirt.

You're not gonna shoot me.

No, I am going to start firing.

And whoever is after you is going to know where you are.

The tattoo...
