Sullivan's Crossing (2023) s04e09 Episode Script

(GENTLE MUSIC)
(SYDNEY): I still
can't understand how Cal
could break up with you like that.
No, but he's right. Isn't he?
I mean, it's not fair
to move forward with him
if I still have feelings
for someone else.
And I haven't been able to stop
wondering about what our
life would have looked like
if Liam hadn't left.
But he did leave, Maggie.
And what happened to him,
that's not your fault.
No, I know that, but all those years,
he never gave up on us.
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
He never stopped loving me.
You don't need to feel guilty
for moving on with your life.
I made a promise to
Liam when we got married.
That I'd always be there for him.
I broke that promise once,
and I can't just walk
away from that again.

- Hey.
- Morning.
Morning.
I thought I'd let you
sleep in a little bit.
Thanks.
And
I made you breakfast.
Thank you. You didn't need to do that.
I, uh
I'm not really hungry anyway.
And you didn't need to spend
the night. I would've been fine.
Thank you.
I know what you're going through,
and you shouldn't be alone right now.
Thanks.
So, are you gonna talk to Maggie today?
I said everything I
needed to last night.
So, that's it?
Sometimes when you love
someone, you gotta let 'em go.
So, you're not even gonna
fight for your relationship?
Someone once told me that
not every story has a happy ending.
Well, looks like they were right.
Cal, I think you're
making a big mistake.
(CHUCKLES)
Do you really think that you
should be the one lecturing me
about relationships right now, Sedona?
(SCOFFS)
Fine! Fine.
It's your life, you
do whatever you want.
I'm gonna go back to my cabin,
because clearly you need some space.

Hey. Morning, Frank.
Need some milk, please.
- That'll be five dollars.
- Yeah.
You on your own today?
Edna and Sydney are over at Sully's.
Oh? I didn't know he was back.
He's not.
Maggie needed some cheering up.
Why? What happened?
She didn't tell you?
Tell me what?
Cal ended things.
So she had to move
back to to Sully's.
I didn't expect him to do that.
You sure?
I can't help that I'm
still in love with her.
You gonna move to the
Crossing for Maggie?
If that's what it takes.
Well, I hope you gave it some thought,
because I would hate it
if Maggie was hurt again.
Thanks for the milk, Frank.
(♪)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
How's Maggie doing?
Um, not great.
This whole thing with Liam and Cal
has been really confusing for her.
I can imagine.
Relationships can be messy.
Yeah.
Look, I think
maybe we should talk
about what happened.
It's fine.
You were right about
keeping things professional.
We don't need things
getting complicated, do we?
Exactly.
Besides, if I've learned
anything from my past,
it's that jumping into things
without really thinking them through,
it never works out.
What's it take to get
some service around here?
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Rob.
Hey, I didn't know you
were coming home today.
Well, Finn's all settle in, so
thought I should get to work.
Well, you didn't have to rush back.
I mean, me and Amir have
things under control.
Yeah. Yeah, we even made some changes
to the menu I think you're gonna like.
- Really?
- Uh, I'll grab one
- and walk you through it.
- Okay.
Speaking of changes, I think
you might wanna go talk to Cal.
Why?
He broke up with Maggie last night.
You're kidding? What happened?
You know what? I'll make us some coffee
and I'll fill you in on everything
that's been going on around here.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Poor Maggie.
How can we fix this, Frank?
We can't.
Well, we need to do something.
You just have to accept
what you can't change, Edna.
This isn't one of your meetings, Frank.
This is Maggie we're talking about.
I know.
But she's not a child anymore.
This is her life,
and we can't live it for her.
Yeah, I suppose you're right.
(DEEP INHALE AND EXHALE)
(GULLS SQUAWKING)
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Can we talk?
Yeah. Yeah, come in.
Here, sit.
Cal and I broke up.
I know. Frank told me.
What happened?
Cal thinks that I'm holding
a part of myself back
because of you.
Are you?
You being here, it's
it's opened up a lot of feelings.
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
Feelings that I thought
I'd closed the door on
a long time ago.
Yeah. I'm sorry, Red.
I really didn't come here
looking to screw up your life.
I know.
It's not your fault.
Look, why don't we get outta here?
Do something fun.
Something exciting, like we used to.
Might clear your head a little.
Come on, Maggie, it'll help. Trust me.
What'd you have in mind?
Something you're gonna love.
Leave it to me.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Rob. When'd you get back?
Eh, couple hours ago.
Hey, hope I'm not interrupting anything.
No, no. How'd it go in Toronto?
Actually, I took your advice.
Yeah, I uh, made a
decision I could live with.
- And what was that?
- Well, I'm gonna split my time
at the Crossing with Toronto.
That way Finn can go to school
and I won't miss out on his life.
That's a good compromise.
Oh, I asked Amir if he'll
stay on at the lodge.
I'm just waiting to hear back.
Well, sounds like everything's
working out for you.
Yeah.
Hey, uh, Sydney, uh
filled me in on everything
going on since I've been gone.
Yeah, I was really
sorry to hear about Ben.
You think there's any
way he can beat this?
Well, the lawyer's looking into options.
And I'm still hoping that
we can convince the judge
to go easy on him.
Right.
I also heard about you and Maggie.
How ya holdin' up, bud?
I don't think it sunk in yet.
Yeah.
Hey, I know Liam being
here's been hard on you,
but do you really think
breaking up with Maggie's the way to go?
You two are so good together.
We both know what it's like
to have feelings for
somebody from our past.
It's not the same, Rob.
Lynne and Sarah
are never gonna walk back
into our lives again, are they?
(BIRDS CALLING)
(LIGHT MUSIC)
(SYDNEY): What's the special today?
Pizza.
Sounds good. What kind?
- Hawaiian.
- A Michelin star chef
likes pineapples on his pizza?
It takes a very refined palate
to appreciate the, the blend of flavors.
I've tried to make it a couple times,
but my dough never
really turns out right.
Oh, you probably didn't
let it rest long enough.
Speaking of which, I
made a batch last night.
And we're good here.
I'm gonna go check on it in the fridge.
- Hey, how'd it go with Cal?
- We had a good talk.
You think there's any chance
he'll get back together
- with Maggie?
- Not as long as Liam's around.
Um
(♪)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Hey.
Okay, I don't wanna fight.
Neither do I.
Look
I'm sorry for what I said. Okay?
I'm just upset.
Yeah, but you weren't wrong.
You know? You need to
deal with your life,
and I need to go home and focus on mine.
Come on, don't be like that.
No, I'm not leaving because I'm angry.
It's just, I called Chris
and he picked up.
He's ready to talk.
I'm glad to hear that.
I don't know if we're gonna
be able to get past all this,
but at least he's willing to try.
So, um, I need to go.
My cab's gonna be here in a few minutes.
Call me. Let me know how it goes.
And will you promise me
that you will at least try
and take some time to
think things through?
'Cause part of loving someone
is being willing to forgive
them when the screw up.
Okay.
I love you, big brother. I
just want you to be happy.
I know. I know.
I love you too.
Good luck.
You too.
(SOFT MUSIC)
I got that firewood stacked.
Maarsii.
Whatcha cookin'?
Rubaboo,
a stew with that deer meat
that Elder Shirley gave me.
Smells good!
Nohkom used to make it
whenever I was upset.
I thought it might make me feel better.
Anyway, you figure out your
plan for Glenn's land yet?
Well, my gut is telling me
that committing to an easement
is the wrong thing to do.
- Why is that?
- What I said before
about not living Maggie's life for her,
well, it got me thinking.
An easement is a permanent arrangement
that's gonna need to be
followed by future generations,
and I don't think it's our place
to make that decision for them.
So, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna meet with Danny.
I've got something that
I want to run by him.
Unless you need me here.
No, I'm fine. You go.
- Okay.
- Tell him I say hi.
I will.
(♪)
Really? Off-roading?
Yeah. It's amazing. You'll see.
Hi, I've got a reservation under Davies.
Great. Just need you both
to fill out a waiver, please.
Right.
"I am fully aware of the
risks, dangers, and hazards,
and agree not to hold
the company responsible
for any serious injury,
gross bodily harm,
or wrongful death."
I don't know about this, Liam.
Don't worry. Only
rolled my vehicle once.
- Once?
- I'm kidding.
You're gonna have a good time, okay?
So, we have three trail
options for you guys:
Easy, moderate, or extreme.
- Easy.
- Oh, extreme.
Uh, we'll take moderate.
Thanks.
You wanna drive?
I'm good.
So, your helmets are on your seats.
Don't forget to buckle up.
And try not to fall out.
- Awesome. Thank you.
- Okay. Will do.
Don't worry. You're safe with me, Red.
- (NERVOUS EXHALE)
- All right, let's do this.
(ENGINE STARTS)
(SOFT MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
You make that look so easy.
Whenever I try and roll my dough,
it just shrinks right back up again.
Wanna give it a try?
Sure.
You need to put your hands here.
Then you push the dough forward,
away from your body.
Then you fold it over.
Give it a quarter turn,
and then push it away again.
Table six wants to
(GASPS)
meet the famous chef.
Yeah, on it.
Amir was just showing
me how to make pizza.
So, you two looked pretty cozy.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Look, Syd, just please
remember what I said
about him being a player, okay?
There's nothing going on between us.
If you say so.
(SIGHS)
(♪)
So uh, what did you want to talk about?
I've been thinking about
things since the circle.
Like what?
When I was growing up,
I had a foot in two worlds,
and I never felt like I
belonged in either one of them.
It was tough.
And when my mom took me from the res,
I never went back.
Well, it was a different time back then.
Yeah, it was.
But watching those kids
reconnect with their roots
makes me wanna help them.
So, what are you thinking?
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
Whoa! You okay?
Thought I was gonna fall
out on that last bump.
You just, you just need
to loosen up a little.
You know, it's like riding a horse.
Try to lean with the vehicle
instead of fighting against it.
Yeah, I'm trying.
You ready for some more?
Uh, I guess.
Okay. Hang on.

- Hey, Sam.
- Just thought you'd want
to know that Ben's been transferred
to the Winwood Detention
Center in Halifax.
How's he doing?
He's holding up.
Glad to hear it.
(SAM): I also wanted to let you know
I've been talking to the Crown
about a possible plea deal.
What'd they say?
That they'd think about it.
(SIGHS)
Maybe we can still get this kid home.
I hope so.
All right. Thanks, Sam.
(CALL BEEPS OFF)
All right.
I don't think that
there's anything sexier
than a man quoting poetry.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
(MAGGIE): I love you, Cal.
(KEYS CLICKING)
(CALL RINGS)
Hey, Rob, yeah I could really
use a distraction right now.
I uh, I was hoping maybe you and Cooper
could give me a hand with something.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Took everything out of the closets.
- Gave 'em a good scrub down.
- Yeah.
Thanks, guys.
I really do appreciate you guys coming
and helping out on such short notice.
Just really want to get
this place sorted out
so Ben has somewhere to go if this
deal the attorney's
working on goes through.
Right. Hey, no problem helping out, Cal.
(CHUCKLES)
Now if I can only sort out my own life.
Rob told me about you and Maggie.
Yeah, looks like you
were right about Liam
wanting to get back together with her.
I'm sorry, Cal.
Is what it is.
It's just gonna take me a little time
to get my head wrapped
around it, you know?
Hey, what you need
is a guys' night. Hey?
Maybe some poker at the restaurant.
Coop can round up a couple
guys from the station, huh?
- Absolutely.
- Yeah, I don't think
I'm ready for that right now.
- Yeah.
- Well, if you change
your mind, let us know.
Yeah, will do.
I'm gonna head down to the basement.
I'll see how that looks.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
I'll be back for your drink order.
The pizza's a big hit.
What table's this for?
I actually made this one for you.
Thank you.
I'm starving, actually.
Mm!
Wow, this is like, the best
Hawaiian pizza I've ever tasted.
I'm glad you like it.
Have you decided if
you're gonna stay yet?
I'm still thinking about it.
Why's that?
I'm not sure if I should.
But I thought you liked it here?
I do.
So, what's stopping you?
I think we both know
we're playing with fire.
And Rob is one of my closest friends,
and I don't want to do
anything to jeopardize that.
Why would that happen?
He made it very clear
that if I do decide to stay,
you would be off-limits.
Off-limits? Like, he said that?
Yeah.
I see.
So, I'm not sure
if taking this job is the best idea.
I'd better go check on my pizza.
Don't see any signs of mice.
Nope. Me neither.
They must be just up in the kitchen.
Huh.
I can't believe Maggie fell through here
and didn't get hurt.
(ROB): Yeah, she's lucky, man.
Hey, who found her?
She was with Liam.
Ah. Sorry, Cal.
Anyway, we should call it a day.
I'll look into getting
the ceiling fixed later.
You sure you're gonna be okay?
Look, we don't mind hanging
out for a little longer
if you need us to.
I appreciate that guys.
I just kinda wanna go home, you know?
Yeah.
Guess I'll head back to the station.
See ya, Cal.
Later.
(♪)
Well, you were gone a long time.
Danny and I had a lot to talk about.
- So, things went well?
- They did.
Here, come try this for me.
Huh.
What do you think?
Mm. Good.
Yeah?
I made up my mind on what
to do with Glenn's land.
And?
I'm gonna give it back
to the Mi'kmaq Nation
so they have a proper site
to build the community center.
Oh, Frank, that's perfect!
Oh, Maggie and Sully are
gonna be so happy to hear that.
You think so?
Yeah, I know so!
Danny wants to hold a ceremony,
and I think we should go and help out.
I am so proud of you.
Ki shaakiihitin.
I love you too.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Look, Maggie, I'm really sorry, okay?
I honestly thought you would enjoy that.
You were going too
fast. I didn't feel safe.
Why didn't you say anything?
I kind of did.
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
You meant well.
Wanted it to be like old times.
I know.
Remember how much you loved
doing exciting things together.
That was you, Liam.
What do you mean?
You were the one who needed
to do those things, not me.
I I just wanted to be with you.
I didn't realize that.
(SIGHS)
- Wait, look out!
- (GASPS)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(LOUD CRASH)
(SIREN WAIL)
(MUFFLED PARAMEDIC VOICES)
It's okay.
I'm with you.
(MAN): Yep, she's okay.
Maggie
it's gonna be okay. All right?
- (MAGGIE): Cal?
- I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here with you. Okay?
Excuse me.
Is she gonna be okay?
We need to get her into imaging now.
I'll get someone to look
after that cut for you.
Hi, Frank. Edna.
Have you heard from Maggie at all?
I tried calling her,
but she hasn't picked up.
Not since this morning.
Okay.
You all right?
Uh not really. No.
Is this about Amir?
Is he still giving you a hard time?
No, it's Rob.
Keeps sticking his nose
in my personal life.
So, um,
sounds like you
you two have a lot to talk about.
I'll I'll be in the back.
All right, what's going on?
Rob offered Amir a job,
but only if we stay
away from each other.
I thought you didn't like Amir?
Well, that was before I got to know him.
But that's not the point.
I I don't need Rob
making my decisions for me.
So, don't let him.
Oh, what do you mean?
Well, if I would have
listened to all the people
that said Frank wasn't right for me,
I'd never have married him.
Hmm.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
(PHONE BUZZING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Hello?
It's Dr. Rabney.
I don't know the details yet,
but Maggie's been in an accident.
She's been taken to imaging.
I thought you'd want to know.
I'm on my way.
So, I've got one crab cake with fries
and a fish stew coming right up.
Got a sec?
Everything okay?
Did you tell Amir I was off-limits?
Yeah, I did.
I was just trying to protect you, Syd.
Really. I don't need
your protection, Rob!
You're my brother, not my father.
I'm a grown woman.
You know what? Unbelievable.
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm going for a walk
before I say something that I regret.
We're in the middle of a rush.
(BIRDS CALLING)
She's resting now.
But she's lucky it was
just a minor concussion.
(SOFT GROAN)
Cal?
I'll be in my office
if you need anything.
You're here.
What happened?
I was driving and this dog just, it
came outta nowhere.
I'm just glad you're okay.
I'm so sorry.
I know.
Well, I hope you like carnations,
'cause it's all they had left.
(CAL SIGHS)
Did um, Maggie tell
you about our accident?
Cal
(SCOFFS)
Yeah, looks like you're
already in good hands.
I should go.
(TENDER MUSIC)
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
And I know the doctor said you're okay,
but I'd just, I'd feel
a lot better if I could
keep an eye on you for a bit.
You really don't have to.
Come on. I'll make you dinner.
You gotta eat, right?
Yeah, okay.

When I met you, you were this
free spirit.
You loved to live on the edge.
You were
everything that I
wished that I could be.
And being in Spain
with you was perfect
because it was so easy
to get swept up in it all.
You know, it was just easy
to forget about my life and
my dreams.
I had just come out of medical school.
But you managed to convince me
that we could live happily ever after.
But then you disappeared
and I thought you left me.
I know, and I'm so sorry.
Okay? But I never stopped loving you.
I never stopped thinking about you.
I spent years dreaming about

But that moment's passed.
I'm sorry, Liam.
God, I've messed up your
life by coming here, Maggie.
I'm so sorry.
I was so angry with you for leaving me.
And if you hadn't come back,
I would have carried that
with me for the rest of my life.
So, thank you for giving
me the closure I needed.
I should go.

Wait, Liam.
We'll always have Spain.

Really?
I'm just looking out for you.
More importantly, I don't
want to see you get hurt.
I appreciate that, Rob,
but you need to let me
make my own mistakes.
Not with Amir.
Look, it's been a long day.
I think I'm gonna head home. Okay?
Fine.
Where's Rob? We need
to go over the specials.
Uh, he just left.
But why don't we go over

Liam's gonna file the divorce
paperwork in the morning
and head home.
Well, thanks for telling me.
Okay.
You were right.
I was holding myself back
because I needed to know
how I really felt about him.
But when I got in that accident
there was this moment
where I thought that I
might never see you again.
That's when I realized
that the only person I have ever
really been in love with
is you, Cal.
There's a lot more to loving someone
than just saying the words.
I'm not sure you understand that.
What are you saying?
Well, I'm gonna take a drive.
So you can pack your things.
