Episode 19: "Endgame"
TEASER
INT. BROKER'S COMMAND CENTER – NIGHT
The Broker sits in a dimly lit room surrounded by monitors displaying live feeds of BAU activity. His fingers hover over a keyboard, eyes cold and calculating.
BROKER:
If I can't control the narrative, no one will. Initiate the kill switch.
He presses a key. On the screens, files begin to vanish—victim records, financial trails, surveillance footage—all disappearing in real time.
INT. FBI HEADQUARTERS – NIGHT
The BAU team watches in horror as their data disappears.
GARCIA:
It's happening. The Broker's wiping everything—our evidence, the victims' identities, all of it.
REID:
If this completes, we lose everything we've worked for. We have to stop him.
BENSON:
Get ready. We're moving in.
ACT ONE
INT. MILITARY COMPOUND – NIGHT
The team assembles outside a heavily fortified compound, the Broker's last known location. Tactical gear is donned, weapons checked.
BENSON:
This is it. We move fast, no mistakes.
MORGAN:
We've got your six, boss.
Inside, the compound is a maze of corridors, security checkpoints, and surveillance cameras.
REID:
Security protocols are intense. We'll need to split up to cover more ground.
PRENTISS:
Garcia and Sylvester, you're with me. We hit the control room.
Garcia nods, her usual confident smile tempered with determination. Sylvester offers a reassuring squeeze of her hand.
ACT TWO
INT. CONTROL ROOM – CONTINUOUS
Garcia and Sylvester arrive at the control room, greeted by rows of servers humming ominously.
GARCIA:
This is the heart of the operation.
SYLVESTER:
We're going to shut it down.
They sit side by side, fingers flying over keyboards as they attempt to override the kill switch.
GARCIA:
The encryption is layered—military grade.
SYLVESTER:
We can do this. Together.
The tension builds as the timer counts down on the screen—five minutes, four minutes…
GARCIA (breathless):
Almost there…
Suddenly, an alert flashes—intruders detected.
ACT THREE
INT. COMPOUND HALLWAYS – NIGHT
Benson, Morgan, Rossi, and JJ engage guards, exchanging gunfire in tight corridors.
MORGAN:
They're trying to buy time for the Broker.
JJ:
We're not giving it to them.
Benson moves with precision, taking down threats as the team pushes forward.
ROSSI:
Control room's just ahead.
They burst into the control room just as Garcia and Sylvester finish the override.
GARCIA:
Kill switch disabled.
SYLVESTER:
We're safe. For now.
The Broker appears on a monitor, furious.
BROKER:
You think this ends here?
Benson steps forward, handcuffs ready.
BENSON:
It ends now.
ACT FOUR
EXT. COMPOUND – DAWN
The team exits the compound, exhausted but victorious.
ROSSI:
We stopped the kill switch, but some data was lost.
PRENTISS:
We'll rebuild what we can.
BENSON:
And bring every last conspirator to justice.
Garcia and Sylvester share a quiet moment, leaning on each other.
SYLVESTER:
We did it.
GARCIA:
Together.
Their smiles are a beacon of hope amid the chaos.
TAG
INT. FBI HEADQUARTERS – NIGHT
The Broker sits in a holding cell, defeated but unrepentant. Benson and Reid watch from outside.
REID:
It's over.
BENSON:
For now.
They exchange a look, knowing the fight for justice never truly ends.
The camera lingers on the Broker's cold eyes as the screen fades to black.
