Carter (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

The Flood

1 Church on time! Hey man, where's your plus one? Oh, that's right, you're the plus one.
That's gotta be weird being someone's substitute plus one.
It's not weird at all.
Boyfriend Rick had to work.
Sam doesn't like it when you call Rick boyfriend Rick.
He is her boyfriend isn't he? Kinda.
You ever hang out with him? Uh, Sam and I just recently rediscovered hanging out, so no.
But you're both with the bride.
I just play softball with her, but Sam kinda big sistered Melissa.
Met her when she had to arrest Melissa's dad.
- What's the story there? - I just told it.
Hey, where is Sam? She's still bridesmaiding, I haven't seen her.
- Uh, don't-don't look over there.
- Don't look where? Don't make eye contact.
- Oh - Don't loo Blue dress, four o'clock, super cute? That ship has already sailed.
Tell me everything.
We kinda slept together.
When you say 'kinda slept together', you mean it resembled sex, but it was kinda something else, cause I really wanna know what that is.
It was full-on, yeah.
The only problem is, I kinda went full-on with her mother, which I didn't know until I sat down for a very very weird family breakfast.
Please tell me mom is here today.
Oh thank God, no, I think she's um Yep, she's here too.
Oh, really cute as well.
Now we know what an episode of The Dave Lee Show looks like.
You know what? We should stretch.
Yeah, no, let's stretch, we've been sitting a whole two minutes I'm starting to cramp up.
Hey fellas what's up? Bride or groom? Yes.
Wedding crashers, wow.
You should introduce them to your girlfriends.
Okay, calm down.
- Hey Dave.
- Adam, how's it going man? Not gonna lie, a little nervous.
Yeah, Adam, this is Harley Carter.
- Uh, yeah, no duh, hey.
- What's going on, man? Thank you so much for having me.
Congrats.
Are you kidding? I mean, this day's already bordering on 100% surreal, now Harley Carter's here? I'm the plus one of one of your bridesmaids; Sam Shaw.
Yeah, I know.
Still.
Hey, Sam told me you work with doctors without borders.
That's extremely cool, man.
Uh it's mostly just carrying a stretcher, so - Sorry to interrupt, but uh - Right, the wedding.
Your bride to be told me she wanted me to include her middle names in the ceremony.
Do you wish the same? Sure.
She said your full name is Adam Mikail Albek Khamza? Am I saying that right? Perfect.
Let's do this.
That's the spirit, go get 'em tiger.
Go get 'em Adam Mikail.
So are you ready for this? Put me like a seal over your heart.
Like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death, jealousy is as severe as Sheol; It's flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the Lord.
She looks so beautiful.
- Grow up.
- I didn't say anything About how beautiful Sam looks.
Everybody down! Dammit.
Coordinate with Sanders and Chelios.
I want perimeters set up on the 94 and the 121, and nobody leaves here until you've heard from me or the chief.
How's he doing, Rick? - I got lucky.
- He got lucky.
Is he okay to move to the station? Yeah, he should be fine.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, how's he doing? We gotta take him to General, broken hip.
I mean, it's amazing nobody got killed in here.
Well, I don't think they were expecting Wonder Woman as one of their bridesmaids.
Thanks for subbing in for me, man.
Not a problem, it was a beautiful ceremony, until the shooting started.
- I gotta run.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Hey, you guys good? There's still a shooter out there.
Yeah, uh about that, um, I think I'm gonna make sure Miranda and her mom get home safe It's just a drive, okay? Get your head outta the gutter.
Call me later, yeah? I will.
Alright, bride and groom are gonna come with us.
Right, what about the guy who filmed the whole thing? Yeah, and the Reverend said he got a pretty good look at the guy who got away, so he comes too.
- Let's be elsewhere.
- Yeah.
What's going on detective? Process him.
You guys just make an appointment for round two? Don't tempt me.
- What's happening? - What's happening is we got a possible hostage situation at the hospital.
- What? - You know what I know, we got a call that shots were fired and now I got two units down there barking about hostages.
Two different shootings in the span of an hour? Oh I know, and apparently this severe thunderstorm has just been upgraded to storm of the century.
- You're in charge.
- Got it.
Oh and one more thing Listen this rain isn't gonna let up, which means the river is going to crest, which means we're likely going to lose power, and the bridges into downtown.
Alright, well let me settle this witnesses and then I'll take a crack at the guy we caught.
Right break 'em hard and fast, I wanna find out who's shooting up our town and why.
And preferably before they hit somebody.
- Yeah.
- Let's move out.
Hey, uh sorry, I didn't get your name.
Keller.
Keller, hey, I'm Harley, we're gonna need to look at your footage on your camera.
I spent $4,000 on my camera.
I'm not asking to buy it, I'm asking to take a look at the footage.
Harley, you got a visitor.
Said she was your wife.
What are you doing here? I could ask you the same thing.
I'm on the job.
Oh right, right, Dot told me that you were pretending to work here.
Okay, no, what are you doing here? Like I had any other choice.
You did, you had a million other choices.
Here's a good one off the top of my head - How 'bout you not be here? - Oh, don't be a dick.
You know what, Winter? I don't have time for this right now, I don't.
Really? Why? Huh? What's happening? There was a shooting, multiple shootings, which I'm sure we can all drop now that the Winter show is here.
You do not get to play it this way, not after sending me this! Can we go somewhere private? This is the most private area in the building.
In fact it's my favourite area in the building.
Right here.
Fine, have it your way, let's just talk right here about why we haven't spoken since you caught me in bed with another man! That was classy.
Well, I'm not classy Harley, you used to like that about me.
You know what else I used to like about you is when you didn't sleep with my friends.
I found that really appealing.
I wanna talk about it, but you won't answer any of my calls, or my texts, or my e-mails.
And then you just send me divorce papers out of nowhere? Out of nowhere? Winter, are you being serious right now? This conversation is over.
No, Harley I just wanted a chance to apologize.
We're beyond apologies Winter.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
I just Harley, I know that apologizing is nothing.
I just, I didn't know where else to start.
I didn't know what else to do.
You wanna do something, Winter? Sign the papers.
You know that signing the papers is not gonna fix anything.
We're beyond a fixable situation here.
Okay look, I know I screwed up, okay.
I made a huge mistake, the hugest.
But it can't end like this.
Look, if we apologize - If we apologize? - I meant me.
We apologize, as if I had something to do - with you cheating one me? - No-no-no - If that was somehow my fault - No-no! Winter, please, just sign the papers.
I just meant that there are things that we could both say, that we could talk about.
Winter listen, I'm in a situation right now where-where people are shooting at other people, and it's really serious.
Fine.
Fine.
You do you, Harley.
Ugh! Where'd you come from? You want more? No, Dot, you gotta stop slapping me in public.
Then grow up.
I've had so many weird conversations today What are you trying to tell me? It takes two to tango, and three to have an affair.
Again, confusing.
If you had divorced her when I told you to, none of this would have happened.
You told me to divorce her at our wedding reception.
And now here we are.
Who was right? Dot, just take her to a motel or something.
Have you looked outside? No one is going anywhere.
Stop being baby Harley, deal with it.
Four guys walk into the hospital, start asking questions.
Security guard spots a gun under one of their coats, calls them out.
Was anyone hurt? No, not yet, but we got the shooters cornered in the basement, but they've got hostages that we've got no eyes on.
The tactical team has been called in from Barry The 11 is closed and the 10th line road.
Yeah, the 10th, the 12th, and McGinley side road.
Look, try to get something out of your shooter, I need to know what we're dealing with now.
On it.
Can you send over the security footage from the hospital? Done.
Look, you guys still have power? For now, but I sent Rafalski to top off the generator, and we're out of gas, so we're running on fumes.
Yeah, we're on a genny too.
Look, I'll send you that footage.
Oh, look, one last thing.
The security guard says the four guys at the hospital are speaking Russian.
- Keep in touch.
- Will do.
Sam, Adam's with doctor's without borders.
Let's put that on the list of things to ask Adam.
I think these guys are the same guys.
They didn't get Adam at the church.
They thought he was at the hospital.
I'm thinking the same thing.
Harley, is your head in the game? - Always.
- It seemed tense, your wife and you.
Well, it's weird how her sleeping with someone else has soured our relationship.
Fine, just asking.
I'm good, really, I'm, I'm fine.
Alright, let's break this guy.
Should I borrow a dress? We could be twinsies.
Oh, give me five.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Um, should I not be in here? Oh, no-no-no, it's totally fine, I was just gonna change.
I'm Sam, Sam Shaw.
Winter Wood.
And I know who you are.
Your picture's in our bedroom.
- What? - When you were 12.
A newspaper clipping of you and the boy detective.
Oh.
Um Yeah.
Harley loves you.
And Dave.
You guys mean the world to him.
Right.
Do you and Harley talk about things? Like you and Harley things? He sent me divorce papers.
He did? Oh, that's something.
At least he's not advertising it.
No, no, no, I mean he hardly talks about you at all.
That is not what I meant.
But it's true, isn't it? God, I'm so sorry for just showing up, I just I didn't know what else to do.
Still don't.
Uh well I have to go interrogate a suspect.
Yeah, no of course.
You know - Go.
- Are you Of course you're not okay.
Look out! What the hell happened? This guy tried to grab my gun.
He 100% succeeded in grabbing your gun.
What? Okay, I asked Keller to see the footage from the wedding.
The next thing I know the Reverend is yelling "look out," and then Keller is throwing his camera at me, grabbing Rafalski's gun, and I guess trying - to finish the job on Adam - Skip to what you did.
I was just about to get there, Dot.
Harley smashes the camera into Keller's head, which also smashes the camera.
What happened to the Reverend? He jumped in, hit his head.
He's just out.
His vitals are all good.
So Keller is in on this.
Yeah, it looks that way, and whatever was on that camera, he did not want us to see.
Lock him up.
Anybody good with electronics? I could take a look at it.
You know, inside of a camera, inside of a body, how different could it be? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say completely different.
No, I'm kidding but You know, I can take a crack at it, I'm pretty good with this stuff.
I'm gonna try changing again.
Five minutes, and then we talk to the shooter.
So scary.
Sam no! - You okay? - Don't I look okay? Well yeah, you look great, but I thought you uh might need me.
Well, first thing's first, this guy smuggled in something to pick his lock, so we better make sure our other guest doesn't also pull a Houdini.
Watch too.
Everything? Rafalski, full cavity.
That's a little thorough.
Well, fool me once Once I get my hand in there Finger will suffice, it's not a puppet show.
We have your partner Keller.
That's probably not his real name, but we have him.
You have matching head wounds.
We also have four of your crew cornered at the hospital.
Whatever you guys were up to, it's unraveled.
It's time to scrub the mission and do damage control.
You don't have to say anything, that's your call.
But we have you.
You can talk or not talk, but you're done.
Attempted murder is a lock.
Assault with a deadly weapon, concealed firearm Assaulting a police officer.
Attempted assault.
My point is, talking can only help you.
You've got nowhere to go but up.
I'm politically naïve, but I'm pretty sure the Russian government frowns upon it's soldiers former or otherwise shooting up really pretty parts of Canada.
Sam This dude's Chechen, not Russian.
Are you sure? My character went undercover as a member of the Chechen national rowing team, and while I had no idea what I was saying, I totally remember what it sounded like.
This dude is Chechen, not Russian.
I'm gonna find out if the chief has gotten that footage from the hospital yet.
I would love to run those faces and this guys face against a database of former members of the Chechen military.
Harley why don't you find out if their intended victim ever spent any time In Chechnya.
It's not like I started doing this yesterday.
Well, it was the day before yesterday, so So you have no enemies? Kill me enemies? No way.
What about doctors without borders, I mean they go to some gnarly places.
You ever been to Chechnya? That's a weird question.
- Why's it weird? - I was born in Chechnya.
Left when I was five, never been back.
Why'd you leave? Well, the standard joke answer is because it's Chechnya, but it's actually more complicated than that.
I can handle complicated.
My dad was a kind of freedom fighter back in the day.
There was a coo, military took over the country, they still control the country, and my dad uh My father stood up to them.
He witnessed some atrocities and he went public.
They killed him.
Like I said, I was five.
I didn't really know him.
Not really.
Just stories.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, he was the hero of this story my mom used to tell.
I never knew my dad.
I got the impression my mom didn't either.
So if she did have stories about him, she never told them to me.
Is he still out there? I always figured if he wanted to He knows where to find me.
I think that's our only option.
Say again.
We may need to breach the room to rescue the hostages.
Well that's a job for the tactical unit.
No tactical tried using McGinley side road to avoid the flooding in the marsh.
They got stuck, they're useless at the moment.
And we haven't heard from the shooters in over an hour.
You know that's not a good sign.
Well then let me try to get over there.
I'm the only one you've got with tactical training.
Well the only one other than me, you stay put.
Did you get a chance to look at that footage I sent you? Well one of them is definitely the second shooter from the wedding, they're military, they were moving echelon right, and one of them gave the hand signal for potential threat.
And you think they're from Chechnya.
All the pieces are lining up that way, yeah.
Okay.
I'll call you after we rescue these hostages.
If these guys are soldiers and their mission is to kill Adam, and Adam is here They're not gonna attack a police station.
They draw the line at churches and hospitals? I just jinxed us, didn't I? Come on.
- Here! - Hey, Dot made sandwiches.
This is a one-time deal.
Don't get used to it.
Sorry about your honeymoon.
Harley told me to pretend the rain was Niagara Falls.
He's a nice guy.
- You sound surprised.
- A bit.
You always told me he was, but I dunno money, being famous, and all that stuff you read It's just nice to see you were right.
- Are we gonna be okay? - Oh, I promise.
And you are gonna have a great story to tell your kids.
Wanna know a secret? Always.
One of them's already listening.
- Does - Of course he does.
But we haven't told anybody else yet.
Oh my God, congratulations.
Hey, Sam.
Congratulations.
You just gotta hear me out.
I've been thinking about our Chechen problem and it made me think of my favourite TV show.
Uh not Call Carter, although it's pretty good.
Jeopardy.
What about Jeopardy? Who is Abbas Alahmbek? It was a question on Tuesday's show.
He's the president of Chechnya.
Super bad dude.
It made me think of something Adam said.
I wanna run Alahmbek's name past our cameraman, - see if he flinches.
- Okay.
I'm gonna check on Adam and the camera.
Hey.
Hey.
Um I feel like I should say something.
Or maybe you should say something.
I feel like something should be said.
Do you still love me? At all? You just caught me off guard showing up out of the blue.
My plan was not to ambush you.
I mean you know me, I got the papers and I just went.
I'm sorry I lost my temper.
No, I'm sorry.
These last few months What was going on between us, that That's not all on you.
I made that choice.
I know, but before that.
I haven't been happy.
And that's not your fault, I feel like I threw some of that sadness at you.
You're better here.
Your home.
LA was never your home.
We had a home.
We had a house.
I mean a really, really nice house.
So nice.
I see the way you are here.
You're lighter.
A tiny weird wise woman once told me it takes two to tango, but three to have an affair.
You know on our wedding day Dot told me not to marry you.
That is so unlike her.
Hey guys, sorry to interrupt.
Sam wanted me to find you.
Adam got the camera up and running.
Yeah, I'll be right in.
Go.
Okay, I don't have a ton of juice left, but take a look at that.
Okay, okay, okay.
Right there, literally right in front of me.
Does he always think out loud? Not always, but also not never.
Harley, share.
It's the procession.
Why is he filming the priest? This is not a wedding video, it's an assassination video.
If I may go all Harley Carter for a moment Now we know who the star of this movie is.
I am.
I have a confession to make.
Hello son.
"Luke; I am your father.
" Abbas Alahmbek: President to Chechnya, super bad dude, about to go on trial for war crimes.
War crimes committed a few years ago.
War crimes you witnessed.
I'm supposed to testify at the Hague next month.
Only the lead prosecutor knows I've been living in Canada all this time.
To watch over your son.
No, no I had to stay away.
But um I knew that there was a fair chance that his mother would bring him to this country.
She had family in Quebec.
What is happening? He didn't wanna miss your wedding.
And this Alahmbek clearly suspects that you might be alive, because he sent a kill team on the off chance that you'd be there.
For many years he did think I was dead.
And for all intents and purposes, I was.
But as we got close to trial, he started to put the pieces together.
Realized that the prosecution's top secret witness could only be me.
Did you kill the real priest? Dot, of course he didn't.
Your first instinct is always to trust.
It's like you think it's a good thing.
You know what, Dot? We'll deal with your crazy childhood later.
I'm a real priest.
Have been for almost 20 years.
When I heard about the wedding, it only cost me one phone call and a fairly expensive bottle of wine to get this job.
Okay, wait.
You're my dad? When you were little, I had to die.
Alahmbek would have killed you and your mother both if he thought I could be hurt by it.
Dying was the only way.
And then I heard you were getting married.
I wasn't sure if I'd have another chance to see you, to meet you.
What do you mean? Why didn't you say something? He's going to testify.
He's going public.
President Alahmbek is a vengeful man with many friends.
I was desperately trying to think of a way out of this that wouldn't also destroy your life.
It was foolish of me.
This is so strange, I mean I hear you but I don't I don't know you.
I will show you who your father is.
This is your father.
Now the battery dies on me? Really? All right, you know what? What I was gonna show you on the video is that when those guys got up, it was the Reverend, it was your father who pulled you down and laid his body on top of yours.
A little late.
Dot.
Why don't we give these guys a little space? I wanna put the cameraman in the box next.
Sam, listen, I know how much you love adventures, but we're talking international war crimes here, okay? Isn't that a little above our-paygradey? The RCMP agree, they don't want us to do anything - until they get here.
- Well, what's their ETA? Well, they're looking at their options, but with the flooding, Bishop is effectively cut off from anything but a chopper, and a chopper can't fly in this weather, so we are on our own.
You and Leona put Keller in the interview room.
Yeah.
What? My keys What's going on? Stay in the bullpen with the Reverend, he's our target.
How did he get past Leona.
I asked her to watch all of the doors so he coulda slipped past her then.
In the meantime, you're supposed to check him for anything he can use to get out of his cell.
- You let him steal your keys? - He's one of them.
Sadly, he's not.
We'll have words later, for the moment nobody goes anywhere by themselves, got it? Also, did you see this? He smashed the radio.
Check your phone.
We lost service 20 minutes ago.
One of the towers must be out of commission.
So now we have no way to contact anybody? Can't blame you for that Rafalski.
We need to find this guy.
Are you suggesting that we search every nook and cranny of this very large building? Are you suggesting that we just let him go? Well if we didn't have a bullpen full of wedding party I would say yeah let's track him down, but our primary responsibility is to make sure the Reverend and others are safe 'til help gets here.
Rafalski, you can see all approach to the bullpen from here, but I need you frosty, - can you dial it in? - Yeah.
You think this guy's still in the building? For now, we have to assume yes.
A moment? Clear.
Where'd they go? - Where does this go? - I dunno.
Well, if we're lucky it runs into the sewers and they'll drown.
Take two officers and see where it leads.
I'm getting back to the station if I have to walk there.
Got it, Chief.
Alright, Keller knows how few of us there are, and he thinks that we can't call for help.
But he's wrong.
The radios in the cruisers.
One of us has to go out there, call the chief, but we don't know where Keller and the others are.
Alright, well it's gotta be me.
Leona stays with the Reverend, you are the best shot we have.
You cover me, I make it to the cruisers and radio the chief, we lock the doors in here and wait for the cavalry to arrive.
No, what about Rafalski? Have you ever seen Rafalski run? Me neither, but come on, are you really up for a plan that revolves around that guy? It's me, Sam.
Okay.
I got the keys, the cruiser's 50 feet away, I shoot the breeze with the chief on the radio, I'm back in two minutes.
What will take two minutes? Jesus, what do these people not understand about lock down? Harley just has to check something.
Be careful.
Be fast.
Fast and careful is my middle name.
Three two One.
Great.
At least we know where the other shooters are.
I want the civilians to have vests too.
The cupboards are bare, every cop in the city including a couple retirees are all pulling duty right now.
To serve and protect.
You should have it.
Can we please not fight about this one thing? How do I look? You pull it off.
Okay if any of us say hit the floor you hit the floor and stay down until you get the all clear, got it? Alright, I won't waste time saying that we're gonna get through this, because that is a given.
Leona you go back out to the hall.
Rafalski, you and Harley stay in here and protect the civilians.
Dot, you back up Leona.
One of you has eyes on the front door, the other watches the main hallway.
Obviously.
- Well, where are you going? - I'm gonna check the service door, it's our weak spot.
If they're coming in it's the obvious choice.
- And you want me to just stay here? - Yep, I'll be right back.
Do not take your eyes off the Reverend or anyone else.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Letting the bad guys make the first move.
Your partner's smart, you stay put, let the enemy make the first mistake.
Why are you smiling? Cause I've been stalling.
Everyone stay down! Flashbang! Don't move! - Oh my God.
- She had a flashbang? This surprises you? I don't know how to thank you.
Stay alive, try that.
Strangely, and perhaps it's just that the rain has stopped I'm feeling more optimistic about things.
Well, if there's anything else we can do, just ask, it's a great thing that you're doing.
What you're doing here, not so small a thing either.
God bless you.
Thank you, you as well.
Good luck.
Hey.
So according to these guys, our honeymoon will be some place called protective custody.
Yeah, send a postcard.
Would it be weird if we kept in touch? Weird if we didn't.
- Thanks.
- Bye guys.
- Sam? - Hey.
- I just heard, are you okay? - I'm okay.
I'm good.
Come on.
My cab is here.
Right.
You be the hero, Harley.
Idiot.
