- "The Event" - "I Haven't Told You Everything" - Sept. 20, 2010
Okay, strap in people because this is one complicated debut.
Here are the major characters you need to know:
Sean Walker and Leila Buchanan, a beautiful young couple seemingly in love
Val and Michael Buchanan, Leila's seemingly lovely if a bit overprotective parents
President Elias Martinez and his wife Christina
Sophia Maguire, the leader of a group of prisoners in a mysterious detainment facility in Alaska
Blake Sterling, the Director of National Intelligence, an adviser to the president who kept the facility a secret
Simon Lee, some kind of government official who is working with/overseeing/capturing the detainees and may be one of "them" and in contact with "those" that are out in the world in hiding.
The pilot episode unfolded in a topsy-turvy mosaic of time-shifting with onscreen titles like "1:59 p.m." and "33 minutes earlier" and "11 months ago," so we're going to break this down by linear storyline.
Sean and Leila are in love. So in love that he's decided to ask her to marry him on their upcoming cruise, but first he asks her dad, Michael, for her hand. Michael gives his blessing.
Sean and Leila head off on the cruise and are having a wonderful time. He tries to propose during a day trip out to the beach but is interrupted when they hear a scream nearby and they realize a girl is drowning. Her boyfriend is on a cliff, and he can't swim because his arm is in a sling. Sean heroically jumps in to save her.
After saving her, the couple ask to hang out together. At first the couple seems fun, but they end up being kind of annoying. Leila's dad, Michael, calls to check in on them. Leila says she'll call him back tomorrow. That night they make a pact to have a nice romantic dinner in Antigua without Greg and Vicky after their snorkeling adventure the next day. Sean puts the ring in the room safe.
The next day the male half of the annoying couple begs off snorkeling for obvious reasons, and so does a hungover Leila. Vicky flirts with Sean on the snorkeling boat. When Sean gets back to his cabin on the ship, oddly it's no longer his room. His key doesn't work, and Leila isn't there. He freaks out and goes to the front desk of the cruise ship. They have no record of him or his girlfriend as guests, and another man is occupying--and assigned to--that room. Sean calls Leila's number and hears that it is disconnected. He freaks out some more, confused that his girlfriend has seemingly vanished, as has all of his stuff including his passport. His freaking out draws the attention of security, but rather than try to explain himself he makes a break for it.
The next time we see him, he has infiltrated Flight 514 by posing as a maintenance guy. (We don't know how he got there or knew to go there.) He takes a seat as the plane is taking off. Outside he can see that Simon Lee is in hot pursuit. Even though Lee has called in a bomb threat to stop the plane, it manages to take off, and somehow the entire air traffic control system goes down. Sean jumps up and pulls a gun on the flight attendant. He announces he doesn't want to hurt anybody; he just needs to talk to the pilot. He bangs on the cockpit door and tries to reason with the pilot. An air marshal pulls a gun on Sean, who drops his gun. We discover that the pilot is: Michael Buchanan, who proceeds to shoot his co-pilot and make a hard turn of the plane. Sean convinces the air marshal that they need to get into the cockpit. An F-14 fighter begins to fly along the plane as they try to figure out how to get into the cockpit.
In Michael Buchanan's storyline, we see what drove him to take whatever desperate measure it is that he seems to be taking with the plane. While he was on the phone with his daughter when she was on the cruise, his wife was murdered in front of his eyes, and his much younger daughter, Leila's little sister, Samantha, was abducted. We immediately cut to him getting on Flight 514. (Presumably he is being forced to do this by the shooter/abductors.) Michael is crying as the plane bears down. Sean tries to talk him out of it. The F-14 is unable to shoot; its systems are being jammed.
President Martinez is outraged to discover that there is a secret group of detainees in a facility in Alaska. His Director of National Intelligence, Blake Sterling, says it was for plausible-deniability purposes. Martinez wants to meet with the prisoners. There are 97. Martinez has trouble believing that all the information in the file about the detainees is true. Thirteen months later, after meeting (apparently repeatedly) with their leader, Sophia Maguire, and after seeing their "research labs," Martinez decides to make an announcement about the detainees from his retreat in Coral Gables, Florida.
(This is after one of them, a man named William, captured by Simon, threatens to tell "them" about "the Event." Simon and Sophia think this revelation is a bad idea).
Lots of people think the president is doing precisely the wrong thing--including Blake Sterling and the vice president--but Martinez is bound and determined to share some kind of info about the detainees and close the facility. He says these "people" may not be Americans, but they are people, and this isn't the way Americans roll, freedom-style. Everyone's afraid of who or what the detainees are.
Just before the announcement, the president meets with Sophia, who is poised to appear with him. A panic sets in among the security when some imminent threat is realized, and the president and his family are hustled to a limo. That threat is Flight 514, piloted by Michael Buchanan, and currently inbound to their location and bearing down on the president, press, and assembled guests. Just as it appears the plane is going to crash into them, some sort of cosmic bubble appears and swallows the plane whole and sucks it into some kind of vortex.
Everybody on the ground is understandably freaked out--except Sophia, who says, "They saved us." Martinez wants to know who "they" are. She turns to him and says, "I haven't told you everything."
