Sullivan's Crossing (2023) s03e06 Episode Script

Bad Timing

1

What's taking so long?
Good news. There's no mould.
You can come inside.
Everything okay?
Looks like a bad case of wet rot.
What's that?
It's a fungus that gets into
the wood when it's too damp.
Yeah, I think it could be from
all the rain we got last year.
Okay. So now what?
You'll have to replace
the infected parts
and treat the rest to make
sure it doesn't spread.
Can you do that in two weeks?
It'll be tight, but I
think we can manage it.
Sully will be relieved.
He was very upset when
we got home last night.
Actually, I'll give him a call now.
Thanks again for coming
and checking it out.
No problem. Listen, I've
got a little time today,
I could stick around and give you a hand
opening these walls up?
Yeah. That'd be great.
The more, the merrier.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
MAGGIE: Hey, Cal? Do you have a sec?
I really should get started.
There's a lot to do here.
Of course.
Is everything okay between you two?
Cal asked me to move
in with him, I just
I told him I wanted to wait.
Please tell me this
isn't about what I said
about me rushing things with Rafe.
No.
Then why don't you want
to move in with him?
There's just a lot going on.
You love him, don't you?
It's not about that.
Then what is it about?
I know you're just
trying to help, Sydney,
but I just really don't want
to talk about it right now.
I'm just going to head
back to the Outpost.

(DOORBELL RINGING)
(SIGHING)
Oh hi.
You busy?
Um, I was just tidying up a little.
Come on in.
Edna told me what
happened with the inspector
Doing all right?
Yeah, a little better now
that we know there's no mould
but, you know, I
I can't help feeling it's
all my fault, you know?
I should have had the place checked out
before getting Rob's hopes up.
Well, I'm headed over to
a yoga class right now.
Why don't you come with me?
Thanks, I'm not a yoga guy.
It'll make you feel better.
(EXHALING DEEPLY)
- Okay.
- Okay!
Oh, and Sully?
I walked over, so you're driving.
Okay.
But I draw the line at wearing spandex!
(LAUGHING)

Something on your mind, my girl?
No. I'm good.
- Just trying to keep busy.
- Are you sure?
Because I already cleaned
that stove last night.
Oh, I, uh, didn't realise.
Are you ready?
We don't want to be late for the doctor.
I can always reschedule.
No, I'm fine.
I'm just glad they finally fit you in.
They didn't.
Frank had a word with the receptionist.
Yup. I told her I was
going to keep calling
until we got to see the doctor.
What would I do without you?
It shouldn't take too long.
There's no rush.
Just tell me what you need
done while you're gone.
Um
I can't think of anything.
Edna, we have to go.
We'll be back as soon as we can.
(DOOR BANGING SHUT)
(EXHALING DEEPLY)

Just make sure these
get into the jump bags.
Yeah, I got it.
Hey, Travis, once you're done in there,
could you go check 302? I
heard the brakes were sticking.
- Yeah, no problem.
- Okay.
Hey, Mark, can we just check
the gasket on the discharge here,
make sure it doesn't need replacing?
Yeah.
COOPER: Travis, you got a minute?
What's up, Chief.
Want to talk to you about those
days off you were requesting.
Looks like he found someone
else's chops to bust.
Yeah.
I heard he's on
probation for his temper.
Rumour is he punched a guy in
the face at his last station.
Really? You sure that's true?
I don't know. Just what I heard.
Well, we shouldn't buy into rumours.
What do you care? You
don't like the guy anyways.
I don't really know him.
Maybe we give him a chance
before we pass judgement.
Who knows? Maybe he's
not as bad as we think?
Okay.
COOPER: Hey, Rafe.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah.
Just thought I'd come in and
get a jump on some things.
There's a lot of paperwork.
Well, since you're here, I
could really use some help
- with the schedule.
- Yeah, no problem.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
I sure hope you're right about him.

- Here you go.
- Okay.
I guess. You know
I should I should at the
lodge helping with the repairs.
Oh. I'm sure they'll be
just fine without you.
I guess.
(GROANING)
You know, Edna was right. I
should have left Glenn alone.
Stop beating yourself
up. This isn't your fault.
And I'm sure it's a good thing
that Rob caught that
wood rot early, isn't it?
I guess.
Let's begin in cross-legged position.
(GROANING)
Inhale,
looping the shoulders forward.
Exhale, rounding back and down.
(SIGHING)
(LINE RINGING)
RECORDING: You've reached
the voicemail inbox
of Phoebe Lancaster. Please
leave a message after the tone.
(BEEPING)
Hey, Mom. Uh, thought I'd check in.
Just wanted to hear your voice.
(BEEPING)
(GULLS SQUAWKING)
(THUDDING, CRACKING)
Hey, Rob, do you have
a second to take a look
at the kitchen appliances I picked out?
Sure.
So, I was thinking we could
order a convection oven.
Mm-hmm?
It'll cost a little more upfront,
but it should save us
money in the long run.
What about a pizza oven.
That doesn't sound very Acadian to me.
It's not. But everyone loves pizza.
- (CHUCKLING)
- (LOUD CRACKING)
CAL: Hey, Rob! You got a sec?
ROB: Everything okay?
Oh, no.
SYDNEY: Is that a giant water stain?
CAL: Looks like it.
All this plumbing is going
to need to be replaced.
We found what's causing your wood rot.
We're gonna need a lot more help
if you wanna meet this deadline.
Sorry, Rob.
YOGA INSTRUCTOR: Exhale,
bringing naval to spine.
(EXHALING)
Takes you all the way down
(GROANING)
You sure this is for beginners?
Yes. When was the last
time you stretched?
- High school gym class?
- (LAUGHING)
INSTRUCTOR: Inhale, half lift.
SULLY: Is this right? Is this right?
INSTRUCTOR: Exhale, step back.
- SULLY: Here we go.
- INSTRUCTOR: Chaturanga.
Oh
Oh, is it supposed to hurt this much?
Just go slowly and listen to your body.
My body's telling me
it wants to go home.
(LAUGHING)
Inhale on your Up Dog
And exhale on
(WHISPERING) Try to relax a little more.
INSTRUCTOR: Shh.
Sorry.
SYDNEY: I understand that,
but everyone can't be busy?
We're on a tight deadline.
- Thanks, bye.
- Anything?
All the contractors I
talked to are either working
or on vacation. What about you?
Yeah, I couldn't find anyone either.
Okay, thank you.
Nothing.
Well, we'll just have to keep trying.
Yeah, I'm going to
head back to the lodge,
- see if Rob's had any luck.
- Okay.
I'll meet up with you
a little bit later.
I'm gonna check on a few things.
Okay.
Cal, wait.
I know you're upset with me, but
We really should talk.
Uh, I hear you,
but I really think we should
focus on helping Rob right now.
Okay.
(DOOR BANGING SHUT)
EDNA: What's taking them so long?
Feels like we've been
waiting here for hours.
We have been.
- Maybe we should just go.
- (KNOCKING)
So, what brings you in today?
I've been getting hot flashes.
Um, it's making it hard for me to sleep.
And I'm feeling anxious.
Okay, anything else?
She been gets headaches
a couple times a week.
That's pretty normal
for a woman in menopause.
Can you help her?
You should probably have an
appointment with your OBGYN.
(KNOCKING)
- You're needed in room six.
- I'll be right there.
You're not going to examine me?
I don't see you down
for a physical today.
So you're just gonna leave?
I-I'm happy to run some tests for you
after you book a physical.
I'm sorry, but I need
to see other patients.
These moniyaw doctors
I'm going to go talk to someone.
Not a good idea.
Let's just go.
SULLY: So what now?
Well, I really should
get back to my writing.
Do you mind dropping me at my place?
I've just got a few chapters to go.
And I can only dodge my
agent's calls for so long.
(SULLY CHUCKLING)
(GROANING)
You doing alright?
Yeah, think I just pulled a muscle.
It's easier the more you go.
Yeah, I'll take your word for it,
I think I've had
enough yoga for a while.
Oh, it's good to get
out of your comfort zone
every once in a while, Sully.
You're looking at a guy
who pretty much eats
the same lunch every day.
You can either spend your life
just going through the motions
or you can take each day
as a chance for a new adventure.
Right? You don't want to go
through life with regrets.
There must be something
you've always wanted to try.
Yeah, there is.
What's that?
I'll tell you if you
promise not to laugh.
Cross my heart.
I always wanted to try ballroom dancing.
Really? What stopped you?
Well, I just never had
the right partner before.
Maybe we should look into some classes.
Yeah. Maybe we should.
(CHUCKLING)
Sorry that took so long, my girl.
- Doctor made us wait forever.
- What did they say?
He told me to make an
appointment with my OBGYN.
It was a waste of time. I need a minute.
I'm gonna head out to the garden.
I don't think I've ever
seen Frank that upset before.
He's just frustrated.
Wish there was something
I could do to help.
How about I make some calls?
I'll be fine.
Now, what's going on, Maggie?
Just thought the shelves
could use a good cleaning.
I always know when something's
bothering you, M'Chi.
Api. Come sit.
It's just
Between what's happening at the lodge,
and Glenn's development
You're feeling a little overwhelmed?
And Cal asked me to
move in with him too.
That's a big step.
It is.
Which is why I told
him I wanted to wait.
Oh.
I guess I just
I thought that life would
be simpler once I was here.
Life is complicated
anywhere you go, Maggie.
But it is up to us, though,
to figure out how to make sense of it.

SYDNEY: Jacob's is asking
his friends at the university
to see if they might have any leads.
Thanks, but I I think it's time
to accept that this isn't
going to happen, Syd.
What are you talking
about? Of course it will.
(SIGHING)
Think the universe is
telling me that it's time
to hang up my apron.
You can't do that, Rob.
You love cooking.
You stopped modelling, didn't you?
That was different.
I don't think I was ever
really happy doing it.
You saw all the damage in there.
I was really looking forward
to working together again.
Me too.
(SIRENS WAILING)

Looks like Cal's called in the cavalry.

Yeah.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)



All right! Clear!
(CRASHING)
(CHEERING, APPLAUDING)
(CHEERING)
Can't believe how much we've
been able to get done already.
Ah, just goes to show what
a little teamwork can do.
Hey, I want to thank you guys again
for getting all the fellas together.
Well, you can thank Cooper for that.
Got to say, I'm pretty
surprised he agreed to it.
Maybe he's not as bad
a guy as you think.
Yeah, maybe.
Let's get this junk cleaned
up before we break for lunch.
Good idea.
- Hey.
- Hmm? Thanks.
You and Maggie sort things out yet?
There's nothing to sort out.
She's not ready to
move in with me, so
I think Maggie just
needs a little time, Cal.
Just Look at me and Jane.
- Maybe you're right.
- Yeah.

Thanks.
Edna sent me over with these sandwiches.
Said she is making more
in case we need them.
Thank you.
Wow!
Not a bad way to spend
an afternoon, huh?
Why didn't you call me? I
would have got here earlier.
(GIGGLING)
So you and Jacob are
collecting samples today?
Yeah, I thought it could be fun.
Is he here yet?
Oh yeah.
Uh, right over there.
Oh!
Is something wrong?
Jacob, I just
I just didn't think he was
going to look that good.
(CHUCKLING)
Do you think he saw me staring?
Why don't you ask him yourself?
He's headed right this way.
Hey, good timing.
We're just about to break for lunch.
We should probably head out soon.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Right.
So I'll let Rob know we're leaving.
Yeah. I'll meet you out back.
Sure.
Sounds like someone might be
hunting for more than lichens.
Cut it out, Sydney.
Why am I so nervous?
Because you like him. That's normal.
Okay.
Wish me luck.
I want to hear all the
details when you get back.
Thank you.

Jane's here.
- I'll be right back.
- Yep.
- Jane, hi.
- Hi.
Heard you were having some trouble.
That got around fast.
I thought I'd come by, see
if there's anything I could do
- to help.
- That's sweet of you.
TRAVIS: Jane?
Hi, Travis.
I didn't realise you
two knew each other.
Yeah, we just met today, actually.
Yeah.
Listen, Jane, I had a I
had a great time last week.
I was really hoping we
can do it again soon.
Yeah.
I'll let you two catch
up. Give you a minute.
(CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY)
- How ya been?
- Good.
- Good to see you.
- TRAVIS: Yeah, you too.
You too.
JANE: Didn't expect you to be here.
Okay, last one.
(DRILL WHIRRING)
- It's all yours, gentlemen.
- Okay, all right.
On "go".
Three, two, one, go.
There we go.
All right.
- Watch your fingers.
- Yep.
All right.
Well, Rob, I think we'll be able
to get the new wall after lunch.
- Hey, that's great!
- All right.
Let's get something
to eat. I'm starving.
- Yes, yes.
- Oh yeah. Sounds good.
Uh, you know, why
don't you guys go ahead?
I'm going to go get some fresh air.
- All right.
- All right.
Let's eat.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Uh, just need a minute.
Yeah, sure.
Cal.
Can we please finally talk?
Sure.
Look, I
I didn't mean to hurt you.
It's just
I think you've got some
things you need to work out
before we move in together.
Are you sure it's me that
needs to work things out?
I'm not the one who went
out and bought a sports car.
I get it, but
You are the one who
keeps making excuses.
That's not fair.
Look, do you really think that
I don't want to live with you?
I don't know.
You tell me.
- (WORKERS SHOUTING)
- RAFE: Someone find Maggie!
- Give her some space.
- (GROANING)
- Everything okay?
- I'm not sure.
- (GROANING)
- All right, where does it hurt?
My my stomach.
- Can I examine you?
- Yeah.
(PAINED GROANING)
Do you have any allergies?
No. (GROANING)
I need you to take
deep, slow breaths, okay.
In through your nose and
out through your mouth.
I can't b-breathe
- Slow, just slow breaths
- (GROANING)
Okay, we need to get
him to a hospital, now!
(SIREN WAILING)
Hey. Is he going to be all right?
Yeah, they have him on
oxygen and are administering
antihistamines and cortisone
to help with his breathing.
Do you think it was
something at the lodge?
If it was, I'd expected other
people to show symptoms too.
Then what happened?
I don't know. But
they're running tests now.
So, hopefully we'll have news soon.
RAFE: Okay. Well, I guess
we're going to be here a while.
So I'm gonna go get a coffee.
Do you guys want anything?
- MAGGIE: No.
- Sure. Thanks.
Uh, yeah, I'll come with you.
(KNOCKING)
(DOORBELL RINGING REPEATEDLY)
(EXHALING)
- It's apple cider.
- Oh!
I feel like celebrating.
Okay what's the occasion?
I finished my novel.
Oh, congratulations!
Thank you. Well, it
helps having a great muse.
Are you saying I "amuse" you?
(LAUGHING)
You know what they
say if the muse fits.
(LAUGHING)
So? Did Kimberly end up with Josh?
Ooh.
That information is gonna cost you.
Not more coffee.
Actually, I had something else in mind.
Oh?
And don't forget the glasses.

I don't think I've ever thought about
what lives on a tree trunk before.
It's easy to overlook
the little things in life.
Oh, look over here.
Linnaea borealis
The twinflower.
It's symbol of love and companionship.
Miywasin wapikwaniy aya miyosiw iskwew.
What's that mean?
"A beautiful flower
for a beautiful woman."
(GIGGLING)
Thank you.
This is, uh, Eastern
Speckled Shield Lichen.
It's one of my favourites.
Why don't you do the honours this time?
No, no, I don't want to mess it up.
Aw, come on.
Here, let me show you.
You just want to, uh,
put it against the tree.
And gently
pull the lichen
away.
And put it in the sample jar.
Good!
Thanks.
All right.
Hey, appreciate all the help, fellas.
It means a lot.
Thanks so much, guys. Thank you.
Have a good night. Thanks, ladies.
Rafe just called.
He said they're still waiting on news.
I hope he's gonna be okay.
Yeah, me too. Um
I think I'm gonna head out,
if that's all right with you?
- Sure.
- Okay. See you tomorrow.
JANE: Rob.
Hey, I can get the rest of this.
Let me explain
That's not necessary.
No, but I want to.
Okay.
I didn't think you were interested.
I get it. I waited too
long and you moved on.
No, it's not like that. Look.
We just went for lunch,
it wasn't even a real date.
Just lunch?
Yeah. Just lunch.
So you're not dating anyone?
No.
At least,
not yet.
I see.
Dr. Rabney, hi.
Everything okay with Sully?
He's fine. I'm not here with him.
Um, we're waiting for
news on Mark Baines.
He's a firefighter we brought in,
went into anaphylactic shock.
Do you know who his doctor is?
Actually, I'm covering the ER today.
Any update on him?
Your friend is stable and his
symptoms are under control,
but we still don't know
what the reaction was,
and he's developed a rash,
so we're going to keep him
overnight, run some more tests.
Maybe consider an abdominal ultrasound
and possibly a liver
and kidney panel too.
Good idea. Has anyone
heard from his family yet?
Yeah, they're on their way over now.
Look, is there anything we can do?
Not at the moment.
But you should check in
with him in the morning.
Thank you.
Good to see you again, Dr. Sullivan.
All right, you guys should go, okay?
I'll wait until his parents get here.
COOPER: I'm gonna head back to
the station, update everyone.
I'll call Edna and
Sully and fill them in.
Okay.
Thank you, doctor, for all your help.
No problem.
Let us know if you hear anything, okay?
Yeah.
Can we find a place to talk?
Look, it has been a long
day. I just want to go home.
Okay, why are you being like this?
Okay.
I just thought that
you and I were finally
going to move our relationship forward.
I just think that we need a
little more time, that's it.
You keep saying that,
but I don't know how this
relationship is going to work
if you won't be honest.
But I am being honest.
Not with yourself you're not.
What do you mean?
I think there's something
you're holding back, Maggie.
And until you figure that out,
I just don't think there's
anything left to talk about.

LOLA: Hey, look.
Is that a mine?
Yeah, must be one of the old
gold mines that's shut down.
You wanna check it out?
Might be some good specimens inside.
Yeah, sure.
It looks pretty dark in there.
Ah, don't worry.
I always come prepared.
(CHUCKLING) Very impressive.
Lead the way.
Your wish is my command.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
EDNA: Thank you.
Sounds like that
firefighter's gonna be okay.
Well, that's good.
Another headache?
Oh.
I'm just a little tired.
Well, don't worry.
I am gonna get you another appointment.
Oh, no more doctors, Frank.
I think I'm just gonna tough it out.
It doesn't have to be that way, Edna.
I know. But it's what I want.
You've always been my warrior.
I was thinking
that maybe this new restaurant
could be a good thing for us.
What do you mean?
Well, I'm not getting any younger,
and neither are you.
What are you saying?
Maybe you're right.
Maybe it's time for us to
think about what comes next.
You want to retire?
It's what you're always
talking about, isn't it?
Are you sure you're ready to do that?
It's worth thinking about.
Everything okay?
Well, Cal is upset with me.
He thinks I'm making excuses
because I don't want
to move in with him.
Why don't I make you some coffee?
we can talk about it, okay?
That'd be nice.
HELEN: Your water
pressure here is way better
than at my cabin.
Mine is like showering in a sprinkler
Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
That's fine. Didn't
realise you were here.
I'll just head over to the Outpost.
Maggie, wait, I thought
you wanted to talk.
You have company. We
can always talk later.
LOLA: Sounds like it's raining.
JACOB: You ever consider moving away?
LOLA: Ah.
You mean, leave Nova Scotia?
Yeah.
I thought about it once,
but couldn't bring myself to do it.
What stopped you?
I guess my life's always been here.
You think you'd ever change your mind?
Maybe.
For the right reason.
Okay, then.

(RAIN SPLASHING HEAVILY)
(THUNDER CRASHING)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Mom, I'm glad you called me back.
Uh, actually, Maggie, it's me.
Why are you calling me from her phone?
(SIGHING) Because I need to talk to you,
and I knew if you saw it
was me, you wouldn't pick up.
I don't want to talk to you!
Maggie, how long are you
going to keep punishing me
for my mistakes?
That's not what I'm doing.
WALTER: Listen, I know I hurt you,
all right, and I'll never
forgive myself for that.
But Sully hurt you too
and you found a way to forgive him.
You ruined my reputation.
WALTER: You know I didn't
mean for that to happen.
No, it is not just
about the fraud, Walter.
You told me that my father
didn't want anything to do with me.
I thought he was drinking again.
I was just trying to
protect you, Maggie.
That wasn't your decision to make.
WALTER: I have made a lot
of mistakes, I know that now.
I mean, come on. You leaving Boston,
turning your back on everything
you worked so hard for,
just because of me, it
doesn't make any sense.
You think I left Boston and
my career because of you?
Didn't you?
The Crossing is my home.
It is where I belong.
This has nothing to do with you, Walter.
Look, you you are an
incredibly gifted surgeon
who belongs in the OR.
Do you really want to give all that up?
Maggie, please. Just
- I can't do this.

You were right.
I haven't been honest with myself.

(THUNDER CRASHING)
